0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today we're at the Staffordshire County Showgrounds
0:00:08 > 0:00:13with two teams dying to dive in and find their bargain -
0:00:13 > 0:00:15well, three bargains each, hopefully -
0:00:15 > 0:00:19out of the hundreds of stalls that we've got here.
0:00:19 > 0:00:24You know the rules - so, let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Did you know that Staffordshire has more miles of canals in it,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54than any other county in England?
0:00:55 > 0:01:01Well, let's hope that our teams' waterworks are in perfect working condition
0:01:01 > 0:01:06and that they come up with gushloads of profits later at the auction.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Let's have a wee peek...at what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13In today's programme, the Reds are planning a pub crawl.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17- Here's a picture for the album - way-hey!- Definitely.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21While the Blues are feeling fruity. Or should that be flirty?
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Come and have a feel of my apple. - LAUGHTER
0:01:25 > 0:01:27So, it's time to meet the teams.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31So, for the Reds today we have Jan and Marie,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- and for the Blues we have Joan and Diane. Hello, everyone.- ALL:- Hello.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Lovely to see you. So, Jan, how did you meet?
0:01:38 > 0:01:44We met at a drama group in Stratford-upon-Avon called Second Thoughts
0:01:44 > 0:01:48and we were in a Spanish play called The House Of Bernarda Alba,
0:01:48 > 0:01:53and I was playing a 90-year-old, very crazy grandmother,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55and Marie was a peasant.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- This was a play that took off, I take it.- Yes, it's a Spanish classic.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- It's a classic?- Yes, you do wonder.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Anyway, no, I'm not wondering about that.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I bow to the superior knowledge.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Now, Jan, you've got a knowledge of antiques. Where does that come from?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Bargain Hunt.- Is it?- Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Because 13 years ago I was registered blind
0:02:16 > 0:02:22and found myself housebound somewhat and you turn to daytime TV.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Yes, nothing the matter with that. Daytime is the new prime time!
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Well, yes!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31And then Bargain Hunt came on the scene and you changed everything.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35- Good.- Now when I watch it, I say, "I wouldn't buy that, it's rubbish!"
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Marie, you've got a love of antiques, too.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Yes, I was brought up in the '50s going up and down Portobello Road
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- with my dad in the days before Portobello Road was trendy.- Yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And he'd buy things that were black, take them home and clean them up
0:02:49 > 0:02:53and they'd turn into Davy lamps and copper coal scuttles, and all the rest.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, I learnt from him.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Now, you've also got an interest in history?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Yes, my degree was in medieval history
0:03:01 > 0:03:04and my career until I retired was as an archivist.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08So, essentially, I was a local historian, but being based in Stratford -
0:03:08 > 0:03:12still am based in Stratford-upon-Avon - there's an element of Shakespeare as well.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- So, local history, Shakespeare... - Yes.- All that sort of stuff was my thing.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18- To be or not...- Or not to be. Indeed. Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20So, what will you be looking out for today?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Ooh.- Ooh.- Oooh.- Quirky? - Yeah, for me, definitely quirky.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Is it? Quirkier of the better? - Yes.- Yes. Definitely.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Will you stoop to any depths to get hold of your quirkiness?
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, I've got no pride. No pride, Tim. I will stoop.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Do you know, I think you girls will do incredibly well on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Thank you.- You've got ALL the best qualifications!
0:03:39 > 0:03:44- Now, Diane, where did you two girls meet?- We met in our local pub.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Because our husbands both like karaoke. They are karaoke freaks.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Are they?- Yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So how many nights a week do they go off doing the karaoke?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Well, both of them can go three times a week, can't they?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We only go once, Joan and I.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- To support them? - Once is enough, yeah!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, there we go. Now, you've also got a love of antiques.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- I have, yeah. Victorian. - Oh, you like Victorian?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11We've got a Victorian, big, terraced house
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and I would like to bring it back to Victorian.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- But it's not easy, and it's not cheap, is it?- No.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Now, Joan, you're no stranger to the cameras, are you?- No, I'm not.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Tell us about your career.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29In the '80s I appeared on a cookery programme called Farmhouse Kitchen.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- And I was the microwave expert.- Oh, were you? Very modern!- It was then!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Have you got any terrible stories about your souffle going flat, and all that?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41No, but I did, on my first programme, make 13 breakfasts,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45because the sound guys couldn't get the sound coinciding with the picture.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50And I got fed up of saying this is going in for one and a half minutes.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Yes, and do that 13 times. - Yeah, you lose the sparkle.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57And to stick it in 13 times. I can see are sound men all wincing.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00They're shaking their heads - "It'd never happen on Bargain Hunt!"
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- And was it good fun, though? - Loved it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Do people come up and ask you for your autograph?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- It has been known, yes. - Isn't that sweet!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Now, what are you going to buy today when you go shopping on Bargain Hunt, you two?
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- Something that makes a profit? - Something that makes a profit.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- You're joking.- Probably!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Now, there's your £300 apiece.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25You know the rules, your experts await, off you go
0:05:25 > 0:05:27and very, very, very good luck!
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Fully focused and ready to snap up a bargain for the Reds, it's...
0:05:36 > 0:05:40And ready to make a clean sweep for the Blues, it's...
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And with experts like this, what could possibly go wrong?
0:05:43 > 0:05:48- Well, let's find out.- Marie and Jan, do you share a common taste?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Will we be looking for similar things?- Yes.- I think so.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Yeah, I'd say so.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Joan, Diane, a little bargain Hunt birdie told me
0:05:57 > 0:06:01you've had a little rehearsal. Now, what's all this about?
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- We have got £300.- Right.- One-hour. - Yeah.- And three things to buy.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07We had a little practice run, didn't we, Joan?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- We did.- Maybe I should've tried it. - It'd be a good idea!
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- Your eyes and your well tuned sense of touch.- Absolutely.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- We'll be a good team.- Perfect team. - Perfect team, yes.- Magic!
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- What happened? Tell me. - Well, we bought five items...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- Five?!- ..in 60 minutes -
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- ..we timed ourselves and we agreed on everything.- We did!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Rehearsals? That's not in the rules! Come along! Let's get cracking!
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I'm looking at a strange object over there
0:06:38 > 0:06:42and the lady is mouthing at me "I don't know what it is!"
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- It is very odd.- Could you possibly bring it round to us?- Yes!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Thank you.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54- So...- Oh! Oh, I like that! What do you think, Marie?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57It's absolutely... It looks like a wee safe to me.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Oh, I'd love that! - A copper box with a door...
0:07:00 > 0:07:05and little latch, you can feel the wee turned wooden knob there.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- And then, that's a little vent. - Oh, is it?- What are these?
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- These are inlet and outlet pipes. - So what do they think it was for?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18The lady has no idea, and I'm not so sure I'm going to change that.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24There's a jacket... It could be an oven, or an autoclave.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I think it's great. I don't know what it is, but it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- How much is it?- £80. - ALL: Oh.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I think it's too big a punt at that. - At that price, no.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37- It's a strange object...- I think we'll leave it.- 'No, go on!'
0:07:37 > 0:07:38'Make an offer.'
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Are we sure we're doing the right thing, walking away?- Um...
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I'm going to make a silly bid. I'm going to offer her 25.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Well, go for it.- OK.- Are you happy with that, Jan?- What? What's that?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- I'll offer her 25.- Go on, then. - 'If you don't ask, you don't get.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- 25?- That's not enough for it.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02When nobody knows what it is...
0:08:02 > 0:08:08It might make a fortune at auction for you. You may treble your money.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- Ah... Don't know.- You won't see another one.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- We'll go up to 35. - 35, yeah, OK. - LAUGHTER
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Wonderful!- Thank you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I was determined to buy something quirky!
0:08:23 > 0:08:26You've ticked that box!
0:08:26 > 0:08:30But what is this intriguing little copper box?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Perhaps the auctioneer will know. Let's hope so.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36That's quite fun.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40A fruitwood turned apple tea caddy.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Have a feel.- It looks nice, doesn't it? What wood is it?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Joan, come and have a feel of my apple.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- 'Cor, that Mark's feeling fruity.' - Fruitwood?- Fruitwood.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53It means any tree that bears fruit. Don't ask me which trees.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- But I know it's not plums. - I reckon it might be apple.- Apple!
0:08:56 > 0:08:59What gave you that idea?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- It's nice, that. - Do you like it, Joan?- Yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- How much is it?- £18.- Look at that.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Lovely grain inside.- It's worth thinking about, I suppose.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12- How much? Best price?- We're not thinking, Joan. We need to buy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17It's not Think About Bargain Hunting!
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- It says 18.- I can do 15.- Oh, we need it a bit cheaper than that. ten?
0:09:22 > 0:09:27- No, I can't do 10. I'll do it 12 and that's the best price.- 12?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Would you be happy with 12?- Yes.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It's quite an expensive apple.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Don't start now!
0:09:34 > 0:09:38I do think we should grab that.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Yeah, I do. 12, OK. OK, thank you.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- Our first buy.- Our first buy.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Now, with nearly 20 minutes gone, it's level-pegging.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50One buy each for each team.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51I'm feeling all fruity now.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Don't get giddy!
0:09:56 > 0:09:58So, back to the Reds, then.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Who are quite literally, feeling their way.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Now, you will find this a sensory delight, I should think.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Oh, yes. - How do they feel?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10There's some very, very deep incise in here.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I can get my nice Bargain Hunt nail right in there.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Which I didn't realise.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Feel the rim and feel the foot and tell us if there are any chips.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Any cracks? - There's something there.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Oh, let me... Sorry.- No, no.- There's been a chunk out of the foot.
0:10:26 > 0:10:32- Someone's put it down too heavy, and it's popped. You felt that?- Yeah.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- I think they are fatally flawed, to be honest with you.- OK.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I think we've gone a long way down this route, and it was all positive,
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- then at the final hurdle, we fell. Interesting things. - Yeah, very interesting.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Thank you very much for your time. - Thank you.- Wonderful.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Thanks for that.- Very good. - All the best.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I am seriously impressed that Jan can feel the damage in a flash.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- You've got to think about what a general sale wants.- Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It wants things that are going to be reasonable.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02What's that box over there, Mark?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Could we have a look? Would you mind?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- This is probably a tea caddy. - That's nice.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12Do you want to open it up for me? It's probably a cigar box, actually.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Yeah.- Although the style, again, is very Victorian.- Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- With all this brasswork.- I love that. I really, really like that.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- It's mahogany veneered, I think. How much is it?- 65.- 65.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- It's not unreasonable to ask £65 for that, actually.- No.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Because it's quite a pretty... Do you like it, Joan?
0:11:30 > 0:11:36- I do like it, yes.- And it's got a key.- Yeah. Don't always find the key.- And it locks.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I like that. I really like that.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43- Do you really like it, Joan? - I like it. I think it's quite nice.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Shall we see what we can get it for? - I think it's a bit top-heavy.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49May we ask what the best price would be?
0:11:49 > 0:11:55- £45.- £45.- That's OK. - Quite a nice discount.- Yes, yes.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57They're doing you a third.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- I really like that.- OK. Agreed. - Happy with 45?- Yes. Yes.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- Shall we call that our second purchase?- Yes.- Call it our second purchase.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08So, the Blues have shelled out only £57 on two items so far,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12so why not make the third purchase a whopper, eh?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- He's looking at a picture.- Ladies...
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- What's that?- Is it an original?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22- This is an original. It's a great question. It's a print.- Yeah!
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- It's dated 1851.- Right.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Oh, The Great Exhibition.- It is... It's a hunt meeting.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32This is a mezzotint.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36What mezzotint, as opposed to line engraving, introduces
0:12:36 > 0:12:41are softness and gradation of tones.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Now, mid-19th century, 150-year-old, there are two of these.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50- Is it on paper?- It is printed on paper, laid on card.- Right.
0:12:50 > 0:12:55- The colour is all hand applied. It is hand-tinted.- Oh!
0:12:55 > 0:13:00- It's beautifully soft.- Is it? - Lovely soft shades. - I can see it's soft shades.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03And the horses particularly. That horse is lovely.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, for a pair, what would I expect to pay? Probably...
0:13:09 > 0:13:11£30, £40 each?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13How's about £30 the pair?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Really?- That's amazing! - Not a lot of money, is it?- No.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20But as a matter of principle, we have to offer less.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- I so love the way you think! - 'Liking your style, Reds.'
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- 20 for the pair?- I can do 25 for the pair.- 25? 25? Yeah?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Yeah, go on then.- 25 for the pair?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- 25 offered. - Yeah. I'm just a pushover now.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38No, we'll take them at 25.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- We've done another deal. Thank you, my man.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Thank you, people.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Great. Thanks very much.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Now, viewers take note. The Reds just bought two pictures, did they not?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54Well, therein lies a tale. Stay tuned to find out more.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58They do say that good things can come in small packages.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Like this.
0:14:00 > 0:14:06On the face of it, this is a pretty insignificant little stoneware pot.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Now this little pot, you'd walk by any day in a fair like this,
0:14:10 > 0:14:14where there are hundreds of thousands of bits of pot,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and you wouldn't think twice about it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:23Except, you should turn it upside down and see what it says on its little bottom.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25And on its little bottom,
0:14:25 > 0:14:29we've got scratched into the wet clay a signature,
0:14:29 > 0:14:32which is RW Martin, London.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35And that is a name to conjure with.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Because you may have heard of the Martin Brothers stoneware,
0:14:40 > 0:14:46which is extremely collectable, and extremely valuable.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50A big pot by the Martin Brothers of a bird, for example -
0:14:50 > 0:14:53an eccentric bird with its head turning around -
0:14:53 > 0:14:56something about yay high,
0:14:56 > 0:15:00will sell at auction today for £50,000.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01So on the face of it,
0:15:01 > 0:15:05it's an insignificant miserable little thing.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Actually, it's an little bit of a treasure.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10And it's an inspiration to all those folk
0:15:10 > 0:15:14who come to antique fairs like this one at Stafford,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17to poke about and pick stuff up.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Actually, the dealer here knew all about this pot.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24And he is charging £100 for it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But what might it make elsewhere,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32in a specialist Martin Brothers Arts and Crafts sale?
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Well, I reckon it could make the top end of £250.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38So, there's a profit in it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42In fact, there's a profit in it for all of us.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45If you take the trouble to pick it up and have a look.
0:15:45 > 0:15:4720 minutes left on the clock
0:15:47 > 0:15:51and the Blues are trying to sniff out their third and final buy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55- I like that.- Yes. - Yeah, you were both taken by that.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Tell me why you like that, ladies. - I like the colour, a nice blue.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Very pretty, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- And what is it?- It's a scent bottle, isn't it?- Scent bottle.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06You're quite right. I like the faceted design.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- The faceted body with the flash. - Do you want my spyglass?- Oh!
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Oh, do you know, she's a right show-off, I'll tell you!
0:16:15 > 0:16:18'I like a woman who comes well equipped!'
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Looks generally in good condition. A little nibble or two.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26This one... It looks gilt, but it's marked sterling.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29So, it might be American, if it's sterling.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I knew that'd come in handy. - Yeah.- Told you.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36What would you let us have both of them for?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- Bear in mind, we have to make a profit.- 130.- 130.
0:16:41 > 0:16:4270, 60.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- I think there's still time. - OK.- I love them.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50I do think they're nice quality. You pick very good items.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55- OK, we'll have a think.- We'll have a think, shall we, OK.- Yes, thank you.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57Make your minds up, Blues! Time's running out.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Meanwhile, it looks like the Reds are lining up for a lager.
0:17:01 > 0:17:06This purports to be German...
0:17:06 > 0:17:07- an Imperial German...- Yeah.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- ..military...- Yeah.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11..commemorative stein.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Beer tankard. Yeah?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17We have got little soldiers here round a camp kettle.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Another chap here marching with his rifle.
0:17:21 > 0:17:26We have the crest of Bavaria - the lion rampant.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30We even personalise it with some hand-work here...
0:17:30 > 0:17:35It's saying the 3rd Hessian regiment, Number 82, I think,
0:17:35 > 0:17:40fourth company in Basel, 1894 to 1896.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43There's another feature to this, and it's a lithophane base,
0:17:43 > 0:17:44which I will explain in a moment.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49I'm sorry, Jan's going to be so frustrating for you because it's a visual feature.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- Can't touch it? No.- If we hold that up to the light...
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Oh, I see. It's got a face.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- Kaiser Bill's up there... - On the bottom.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58..peering at you from the bottom of your pint pot.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- I've heard of things like that. - German stein 65 quid.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Could be 50 quid, but that's the best it will do.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Guys, have a feel of that.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Now you did say ceramics. - It's heavy!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I may have steered you from the decorative to the historical.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Oh, no, I can... I can just see my lager in there.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18HE LAUGHS
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- You think I'm joking, don't you? - She's not! Believe me, she's not!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Oh, let's go for it. Where's he gone?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24He's disappeared. Oh, there he is.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- Hello.- Hello.- Hello, hello.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31- It's us again.- Yes!- 50?- 50, yes. I can do 50.- 50, good?
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- Shake his hand. - 'Bottoms up, Reds! Good work.'
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Here's a picture for the album. Way-hey!
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Meanwhile, the Blues are finally on the scent of their third buy.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Oh, that's pretty, isn't it? This is quite interesting.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51There is a period known at the end of the Victorian period
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- called the Aesthetic Movement... - Right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56..where a lot of influence in the design came from Japan.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01So you get a lot of natural foliage and animals, birds, moths, insects.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Have a little look at that, Joan.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- And if you smell it, it still smells of cologne in there.- Can you?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Really? Does it unscrew or...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13No, it just pours out.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- That's nice, isn't it?- What do you think of that?- I like it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's silver gilt inside, as well.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Well, you had those other scent bottles, do you remember?
0:19:21 > 0:19:22- BOTH:- Yes.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Well, one didn't have a silver top and one had a small silver top.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28And this is all silver with a glass inside.
0:19:28 > 0:19:34I mean, if I was being me, I might put 100 to 150 on it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Do you want to ask the price, Joan?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41I have just bought it and I would take a small profit from 175 on it.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43DIANE: 175...
0:19:43 > 0:19:46'A bit over Mark's estimate, then.'
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You've got £200-odd left.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- This is well within your budget. - BOTH: Yeah.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- And it's a really nice object. - I think it's a nice one, too. - I like it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56And it will be hallmarked inside.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Would you be kind, and take 170?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02Because we do need to make a bit of a profit.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03- Go on, then.- Thank you!
0:20:03 > 0:20:05VENDOR: It is a really nice piece.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Yeah. If you're happy with that, I'm happy with that.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Yes, I'm happy with that. - Are you sure, Joan?- Yes, I'm sure.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Well, it does make up for the two rather...- Hey!
0:20:13 > 0:20:16..charming items we've bought.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Cheap. Cheap things. - Did I get out of that all right?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- He's pushin' his luck!- Did I get out of that?- Yeah, you got out of that.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Whether you're charming or cheap, you chaps should be chuffed.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29All three items bought and that's the shop shut for another day.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Well, our teams certainly have spent a penny or two, haven't they?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41For this intriguing copper box, perhaps a bit of militaria
0:20:41 > 0:20:45or even something to do with the railways, the Reds paid £35.
0:20:45 > 0:20:51For the pair of hand-coloured pictures, they paid £25.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53That was for two pictures, remember.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58And for the German beer stein, they paid £50. Cheers!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Here's some happy looking faces. Have you just finished?- We have.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Lucky old you. And that's your final purchase and what did you pay for that?
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- £50.- £50.- £50 for that. - Is that your favourite piece?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- Which is your favourite piece? - I know what mine is.- What's yours?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Mine's this copper box that they didn't want me to buy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- It's awesome.- Is it? - Oh, it is.- Awesome! I love that!
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- You wait till you see it. You'll think I've gone mad!- Well, OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- She has, but never mind!- I won't say a word. What about you, Maria?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I think mine are the two Mezzotints that we bought. The more I look at them, the more I see in them.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Now, how much did you spend in total?
0:21:35 > 0:21:40- 110, I think.- Is that all?- Yes. - That's pretty miserable!
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- OK, £190 of leftover lolly. Who's got that?- I have.- Have you?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- OK, lovely. I won't count it. I trust you.- Good.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Going straight over to our stein-holding friend here.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Now, £190, what are you going to buy, Paul?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Well, I'm not going to buy a round of drinks, that's for sure!
0:21:56 > 0:22:00- I won't say anything.- Spoilsport. - Seriously, have you got anything in mind? Bit of furniture?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04I've been totally focused on this exercise. It's been such a riot.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I have no idea where I'm going after this. I'm in a tizz.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11OK, the nation's waiting to find out what you go and buy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17Meanwhile, good luck, girls. I'm going to shove off and look at what the Blue team bought.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21The Blues paid just £12 for the fruitwood tea caddy.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27£45 for the late 19th century mahogany and brass box.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31And finally, they gave £170
0:22:31 > 0:22:34for the aesthetic period silver perfume flask.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Now, Diane, Joan, how was that shopping experience? Was it good?
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It was very good. Really enjoyed it, yes.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- I bet you liked running around with Mark Stacey.- It were lovely.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52- I love that, don't you?- Yeah. - Now, Joan, tell me, which is your favourite piece?- The silver perfume.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57- And what about you?- The box. Mine is the box, yes.- OK, perfect.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- The box.- The box?- The box.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03The box.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- It's all in the box, isn't it? How much did you spend?- £227.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- I would like £73, please. - There you go.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15Thank you. There's £73. £73 goes straight to Mark Stacey.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17What are you going to spend that on?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19It's a decent sum of money, isn't it?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I think because they bought certain items,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I want to get a pair cos these two are a right pair.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- So I want to get a pair to match. - Would they be a matching pair?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- They'd be matching! - LAUGHTER
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Anyway, there's enough of that. Now, why don't we go
0:23:34 > 0:23:37and have a look at something that I found earlier today?
0:23:43 > 0:23:49This very ordinary cardboard box contained all these slides.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Magic lantern slides,
0:23:51 > 0:23:56the ultimate entertainment in the 19th century, before any movies.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01So, you get your box of slides, slip one into the magic lantern,
0:24:01 > 0:24:05which is an early form of projector, and hey presto, for people
0:24:05 > 0:24:09who'd never viewed moving pictures before, this really was magical.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15The problem with these things is sorting out what you've got
0:24:15 > 0:24:17and if the dealer can't be bothered to do it,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21all he does is to stick the lot in a cardboard box like that
0:24:21 > 0:24:25and ask a price for it, then it's up to you to have a bit of a sort out.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Actually, I spotted on the top two quite rare magic lantern slides.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35The first one is this, which is called a panorama slide.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40And the idea with a panorama slide is that bit is shown
0:24:40 > 0:24:44first on the screen through the projector
0:24:44 > 0:24:49and as you tell the story, so you reveal more of the characters.
0:24:49 > 0:24:55A man in a blue coat, a dog, a person in a red coat. Fun, isn't it?
0:24:55 > 0:25:01Even more fun is this fellow. And these are called movement slides.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Imagine you've never seen a moving picture in your life
0:25:04 > 0:25:09and all of a sudden, when the projectionist puts this slide up,
0:25:09 > 0:25:16that mouse on the counterpane starts to move towards the geezer
0:25:16 > 0:25:19who is in bed with his mouth open.
0:25:19 > 0:25:26Lo and behold, the mouse finishes up by going down his throat.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Oh! Shock, horror!
0:25:30 > 0:25:34And the movement slides are particularly avidly collected.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37So why don't we have a little magic lantern slideshow?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44This lot are fascinating.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Slides from all over the world.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54The late Victorians were incredibly keen on travel
0:25:54 > 0:25:58and set off on elaborate journeys across Europe.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04If you were to take such a journey, why not purchase a group of slides
0:26:04 > 0:26:08of the views along the railway journey that you'd be taking?
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Tinted black and white slides,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15but brought to life by this very professional shot.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18If you were travelling further afield, perhaps to the Empire
0:26:18 > 0:26:24in India, slides like this would be a memento of your trip.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Here we've got the snake charmer, squatting,
0:26:27 > 0:26:33playing his little pipe, as a cobra comes out of the basket.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37And also, whilst in India, why not go for a big game hunt?
0:26:37 > 0:26:42There is the most enormous leopard I have ever seen.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Dead as a doornail.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Strung up on a pole
0:26:46 > 0:26:49and with the surrounding crowd longing to have the cat
0:26:49 > 0:26:55killed probably because the cat had been eating them up to that point.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58So, we have an incredible variety of slides here.
0:26:58 > 0:27:04An unusual cross-section of magic lantern slides, I would suggest.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10What are they worth then? Well, you could easily have £350 worth here sitting on the table.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12What would they cost you?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16The lot in that tatty cardboard box could be yours for £40.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Now that IS magic.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23Just like the magic we hope we're about to experience
0:27:23 > 0:27:25over at the auction.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Well, we've trotted roughly 25 miles, roughly east,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41from Stafford to the glorious town of Burton upon Trent to be
0:27:41 > 0:27:45with Richard Winterton at Richard Winterton Auctioneers.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- Richard, good morning.- Welcome! - It's grand to be here.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- The first item is this copper box. - We've had a good look at it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Military, we're a bit unsure on.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I think we're not too far away from it in Derby where the trains
0:27:59 > 0:28:03were built and a lot of machinery done over that way,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I think that's more railway, I think.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Yeah. It looks like a sort of portable oven.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12And all these different ways in and out for something which is
0:28:12 > 0:28:16- likely to be steam or water. - Yeah, it's a nice looking thing.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- It's got some appeal.- What's your estimate.- We've gone 30 to 40.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- They paid £35.- Yeah, we're fine on that.- Good.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26We've got a bit of a problem with the two pictures that they bought.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Sadly, one of them has gone AWOL. Don't know where it's gone.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Hasn't disappeared from your saleroom.- No.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36It left the fair and it didn't arrive here.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39So I can't explain it, but we only have the one
0:28:39 > 0:28:42and we're going to sell the one. So, I have to ask you the question,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45what is your estimate on this single print?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48The colour's a bit dying on it really, when you look at it from here, but a lot going on
0:28:48 > 0:28:52and we do have a good following for these hunting pictures.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55We've put 20 to 30 on it and we should get that quite easily.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58OK, that's for the single one. The team of course bought two,
0:28:58 > 0:29:04so I think it's perfectly fair to pay them double what you get for one
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- to put them in the same position as they were before they had the loss. - Yeah.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14OK, Richard. Thank you. Now, their last item is this most interesting porcelain stein.
0:29:14 > 0:29:20- Isn't that fantastic?- I think this is one of the most interesting things we've had for a bit.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22- Do you?- I love it. I do.
0:29:22 > 0:29:27Well, for a kick-off, it's porcelain, not that stoneware stuff.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- So how do you rate that? - We've gone a bit conservative.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- We've gone 40 to 60.- Is that all? - It is, but I think it's one of those that grows on you.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39You look at it and you find a bit more on it every time.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- I can see us getting top end, towards the hundred.- Really?
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- It's got potential. - Laidlaw found it. He paid £50.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- I think he's done the right thing. - He's done very well.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51And on that basis, they may not need their bonus buy, for a change.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54But let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59I love a leftover lolly moment, don't you? 110 miserable pounds you spent.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03£190 went to your man. What did you spend it on, Paul?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I spent it on that strange beast.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- It's a candelabrum. - It's a candle stick.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- It's a table one, not a wall one.- It is.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18It's a mad counterweighted copper and brass candlestick.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Oh, it's heavy! - That is attributable.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22- We know who designed that.- Really?
0:30:22 > 0:30:28A chap by the name of Carl Deffner, who owned Metallwarenfabrik and
0:30:28 > 0:30:34was a talented designer of modernist jugenstil, youth style, designs.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36And this, for me, is his masterpiece.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- It's really funky! - Isn't it?- It's fabulous!
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- So how much did you spend on it? - I spent £55 on that.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46You got a steal on that!
0:30:46 > 0:30:53- What do you think it will get?- Pairs of those at auction make 200-250.
0:30:53 > 0:30:59And I think we can just do the maths and it's £100.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- It's a delight, isn't it? - I think so.- So well done, Paul.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08Thanks for educating us. Now let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's candlestick.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Lovely, look at that. Cor, isn't that lovely?
0:31:11 > 0:31:16- I think that's another great piece. - It sits well, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Clever old Paul Laidlaw.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24He has an eye for the unusual and he has an eye for design.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27And this thing, where it's set up properly,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31which should be on a mantelpiece, if this was on a mantelpiece,
0:31:31 > 0:31:35the mantelpiece stops there, the thing sits like that.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38All the weight's on the back end of it here.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42You've got your candle set up there and they're extremely attractive.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- This team have got a good three. - I think they've got a good expert.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49That's the truth of the matter!
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Anyway, so how do you rate this thing?- We've gone 40 to 60.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- I think it'll be top end of that. - It needs to be cos Laidlaw paid £55.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57Oh, yes. We'll get that.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04- Now, we all know about fruitwood tea caddies.- We certainly do.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07People who can't afford the originals, they do buy these
0:32:07 > 0:32:09and they are popular.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14- It's going to make 10 or £20 all day long.- £12 paid.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17They should get away with that. What about that folding box, Rich?
0:32:17 > 0:32:20This is great. Good quality all the way round.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25- Been a bit scrubbed.- You're going to be when you get on a bit.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27You're going to get a bit scrubbed!
0:32:27 > 0:32:32- All right. How much?- We've put 30 to 40.- £45 paid.- Yeah, again, good.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Sort of on the money. Now their last item is the investment.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40- £170 was paid for that scent bottle. - Which has ruined it, for me.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- What do you mean "ruined it"? - It's too expensive.- Is it?- Yeah. - What's your estimate?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- We've gone 50 to 80.- As a bit of a tease.- Might get a hundred.
0:32:47 > 0:32:52- If we get 170, I think you might need the bargain...- Do you reckon?- Yeah.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56Do you want to do this job then? Why don't you introduce the bonus buy?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Go on, you have a go.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We'll have the bonus buy because I think they'll need it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Here you go!
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- Diane, Joan, this is the moment. You spent a magnificent 227.- We did.
0:33:08 > 0:33:14And you gave the boy £73. Let's see, Mark. I'll help you with that.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- There we go. £73.- Ooh!- Right.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Now, I had a bit of a pair on the day, Tim.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25- I thought I ought to really try and get a pair for you.- Thank you. - They're Royal Worcester porcelain.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28They're 20th century, but they've been drilled as well,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31so you can actually convert them into lamps.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36- So, how much did you pay for them? - I spent the entire £73.- Did you?
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Yeah, I've got nothing left.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Really?- Are you shocked?- Yes. - Yes, we are.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- They look classy though. They do look classy.- They look classy.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47I think you've hit it on the head there, Diane. I really do.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51- They look classy.- Yeah, they do. - And that's cos they're Adam style.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55So they've taken the Adam style and repeated it like 100 years after it
0:33:55 > 0:33:58first came out and then here we are, 100 years later,
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- looking at the same thing. - I do like those.- You like them?
0:34:00 > 0:34:04Well, we've got a classy pair for a classy pair.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06OK, it seems to be a great hit here, Mark.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Let's find out from the auctioneer whether he's
0:34:09 > 0:34:12so struck by these candlesticks. Thank you.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Well, they don't come whiter than that, Rich!
0:34:16 > 0:34:19These are great. 110, 115, 120 years old.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22And they're as modern now as they were when they were made.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Exactly.- That's what they want now is that kind of modern look.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30- Fantastic. - What is your estimate?- We've gone 50 to 80, make top end all day long.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Well, they need to cos Mark Stacey paid £73.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34That's a good buy, that's fine.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40- You'll get him a profit on that? - I think they might need them.- Yes.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- What we need next is you...- Yeah. Looking forward to it.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47..on the rostrum. Thank you very much, Richard.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Well, I can tell you this sale room's absolutely jam-packed with folk, which is a good sign.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Now, your first item, we don't really know what it is, if I'm being perfectly frank.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06But some cunning monkey on our staff has found a similar
0:35:06 > 0:35:08one on site in America,
0:35:08 > 0:35:13which is described as being a bacteriological cabinet.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15And it's an oddball thing.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19With its jacket of hot water around it.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21It's a mystery piece.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Anyway, you paid £35. His estimate is £30-£40.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28He doesn't really know what it is either, so anything could happen.
0:35:28 > 0:35:34Anyway, hand-tinted aquatint, sadly, one of which went AWOL.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Yes, we have a loss there.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39His estimate is £20-£30 on one picture,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42so what we're proposing to do is to sell that,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45and double whatever it made.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49And your last item is the porcelain stein.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Such interesting scenes, Paul.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Great thing, that. I love it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Anyway, your first item
0:35:55 > 0:35:58is the copper warmer, whatever it is, and here it comes.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Commissioned bids with me, I'm £20 bid.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11£60 in the room. 65.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14They don't know what it is, but they want it.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- £70, sir?- Look at that.- Yep, £70.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19On my left at £70.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Sold, at 70!
0:36:21 > 0:36:25£70, you double your money. Plus £35.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Well done, Paul, that is so good.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Now, the surviving print.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32A bit of interest on this. We're £5, £8,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35£8 I'm bid, sitting on my own here at £8,
0:36:35 > 0:36:37- needs a little commission at £8.- No?
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Anyone want to give me £10?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42£10 in the room at the back. Back of the room at £10.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Are we all finished? It's sold.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Sold for £10, we're going to double it,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52so we've sold it for £10, we pay the compensation.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56That means you have sold for £20.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57£20. You are minus £5.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Now, here comes the porcelain stein.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Quite a lot of interest is on the book. We start at £70.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0770, 80, 90, 100, 10, 20, 30.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10On my book at 130.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13130, 130.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17At £130, that means you are plus 80.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22- You have £80 profit on the stein! - That's amazing.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26You are 115 less the five, you are £110 up.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30And now, what about the candlestick? What are you going to do?
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- We're going for it. - You're going to do it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36£55 paid, yes? You happy for that?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39You're going with it, and here it comes.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41A lot of interest, again, on this lot.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43We are in at £40.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54- £90, on commission at £90. - Look at that!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57We are sold, then, at £90.
0:37:57 > 0:38:01£90, that is brilliant, isn't it?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Plus £35 on that.
0:38:05 > 0:38:10Plus £35 on that means you are plus £145, girls.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Oh, my God!
0:38:12 > 0:38:14That is unbelievable, isn't it?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16You are £145 up.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21I think that man deserves a hug, don't you? I think he does.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- He does! Well done!- Well done.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I tell you, this saleroom is humming today.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36We want to hum along.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Well, it needs to hum along. Listen, anyway,
0:38:38 > 0:38:40you paid £12 for your tea caddy.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42He thinks it's very nice, about £10-£20,
0:38:42 > 0:38:48so that's all right. You paid £45 for your cigar, cigarette box,
0:38:48 > 0:38:52he reckons it's worth £30-£40, so you are in the frame, there,
0:38:52 > 0:38:59and your perfume bottle, he doesn't think is worth anything like £170.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Otherwise, you've got the Worcester candlesticks to fall back on, haven't you?- Yes, sure.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Right, which would be painful! Anyway!
0:39:05 > 0:39:07First up is the tea caddy. Here we go.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10£2. Little tea caddy. Should be, all day long.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15£2, £3, £4, £5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18£10 on my right. The lady at £10.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20£12. At the very back.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Haven't got you in the middle, madam. At £12, I'm bid.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24God, this is a struggle.
0:39:24 > 0:39:29Right at the very back at £12, all done, sold, then, at £12.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Yes, wiped its face, that's perfect.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36No profit, no loss, no pain, no shame. Now, here comes your box.

0:39:50 > 0:39:55At £40, on my left at £40, sold, then, at 40.
0:39:55 > 0:40:01Oh, bad luck. Just £5 light. Nothing! Barely a sheet of Bronco.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06Anyway, £40. Minus five. Now, the perfume bottle.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11It is engraved. 1882. Again, a bit of interest on the book.
0:40:11 > 0:40:15We're in at £60. 60. 5. 70. 5.
0:40:15 > 0:40:1780. 5. 90. 100.
0:40:17 > 0:40:24At 100, at 100. At £100, all finished. We are sold, £100.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29£100, that's minus 70. That means, girls, overall you're minus £75.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- What are you going to do? Are you going to go with these Worcester candlesticks?- Yes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35You're going to risk it for a biscuit?
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Yes.- Yes.- I mean, you're already well down the Suwannee here.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- With this crowd, maybe, just maybe, you'll get lucky.- Let's hope so.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46Anyway, the die is cast, they're coming up now and here we go.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49The pair now, the Royal Worcester lamp bases there.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Bit of interest on these. £20, I'm bid.
0:40:51 > 0:40:5625. 30. 5. 40. 5. 50. 5.
0:40:56 > 0:41:0160. 5. 70. 5. 80. 5.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03Go on!
0:41:03 > 0:41:07At £80, all done at £80.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Well done.- Yes. Well done, Mark. - You made a profit of £7.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15Well, it's nice to see a profit somewhere, isn't it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:20- Anyway, you are minus £68. - Oh, dear.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Minus 68 is quite a big number, but you never know,
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- it might be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Reds, all right? - We won't.- Thank you very much.
0:41:34 > 0:41:35Well, well, well.
0:41:35 > 0:41:41How can two teams who've shopped in the same place with the same
0:41:41 > 0:41:45amount of money be so poles apart?
0:41:45 > 0:41:50Because the team that's running up by a mile today are the Blues.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51- Oh!- Oh!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Minus £68. I mean, that's a number, isn't it?
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- It started out all right with a washed face.- Yes.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I thought you stood an average chance until you got
0:42:02 > 0:42:05to your perfume flask and then there was a serious smell about.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Anyway, overall, minus 68. It's not so hot.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- We thought that perfume would do well.- I know. Well, it let you down.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- It did.- But the thing is, have you had fun?- We've had fun, yes.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18We've had fun having you on the programme.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23But today, I'm actually going to dosh out £145 of money.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- THEY ALL GASP - £145!
0:42:26 > 0:42:31There you go, Jan. £80 profit on that beer stein.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36£35 profit on your temperature humidity testing
0:42:36 > 0:42:41microbacteriological gadget, or whatever it was!
0:42:41 > 0:42:45Bad luck about the picture, but I've already apologised about that.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48And then you get another £35 profit out of Laidlaw on the bonus buy.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- I mean, it's been a dream ticket. - It's been good.- Fantastic. - You enjoyed it?- Absolutely.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55Well, we've loved having you on the programme too.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59ALL: Yes!
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I know you're sitting there thinking,
0:43:03 > 0:43:08"I could have done better than that!" Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:08 > 0:43:12If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15It'll be splendid to see you.
