0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today, we are at the Detling Fair near Maidstone.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12The big question is, can our teams cut it in Kent?
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Let's find out. Let's go bargain-hunting. Yes!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The people of Kent have long been known as long-tails -
0:00:48 > 0:00:52the theory being that in the medieval period, all those
0:00:52 > 0:00:58folk over there in Europe believed that everyone in Britain had a tail.
0:00:59 > 0:01:05I don't know about that. Sounds like a bit of a tall TALE to me.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08But what is the tale going to be of our two teams today?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Let's have a quick squint at what's coming up.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15The Reds take a rather relaxed approach.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Hold on a minute. I just need to get a feel for it. That's lovely.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21And the Blues play it cool, too.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24There is no hurrying these girls.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Even though the expert is having a heart attack!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28But it all hots up at the auction.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30ALL: Yes!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34First, let's meet the teams.
0:01:35 > 0:01:40We are keeping it in the family today, strictly, with teams of relatives.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45For the Reds we have brother and sister-in-law, Marek and Andrea.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49And for the Blues, we have auntie and niece, Marian and Roo.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello. - Nice to see you.
0:01:52 > 0:01:57We don't very often, Andrea, have brother and sister-in-law teams.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01But you kind of hit it off when you joined the family? Or he joined the family?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03When he joined the family, yes.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Me and him just get on because we are quite similar.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09He isn't really a brother-in-law any more. He is like my older brother.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Isn't that nice? Andrea, tell me about dealing with the old nails.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Yes. I did that as work experience
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and then got myself a job in a salon and still do it now.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21And can we just have a bird's eye? Wow! Look at that!
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So if I was to come into your place and want to have my nails done,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29blue and red to show no favouritism, how much would it cost me?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34- Around £30.- Do you negotiate? If I offered you 20...
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- My friends get mate's rates.- Do they? That's very interesting to know.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Now, I would say, Marek, from your voice, that you are not from around these parts in Kent.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- I'm not. I'm from Perth in Scotland. - What dragged you down here?
0:02:45 > 0:02:47University to start off with.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I did my teaching postgraduate and then stayed down here,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54got a job at the school I had a placement with, met my wife, and the rest is history.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56And do you collect anything?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I've got a coin collection and a note collection that was handed down by my granddad.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Are you going to be relying on your expert today?- Yes.- Totally.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08- Absolutely.- We'll stand by for that and very good luck. Now, girls.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Marian, bargain-hunting and you started a few years ago, didn't it?
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yes, quite a few years ago.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16My mum used to do a little bit of antiques-dealing,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20so she went to the local auction in Maidstone and I went along with
0:03:20 > 0:03:25her as a toddler and put my hand up, and she ended up having to buy
0:03:25 > 0:03:28the lot because I was the last little hand to go up.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- And he enforced the sale, did he? - Yes.- Did he really?
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Yes, much to everyone else's amusement and my mum's embarrassment. She's never taken me again.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- So you are a bit of an equestrian buff ordinarily.- Yes. I love horses.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I have three of my own that I do a little bit of everything with,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45but particularly dressage is my passion.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So what is it that is so incredibly elegant about dressage?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52It is not always elegant. When it goes right it is fantastic.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54You get the horse working in partnership with the rider
0:03:54 > 0:03:58and it looks effortless and beautiful.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Roo, that is an unusual name. Where does Roo come from?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's a family name.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06We are not really sure where it originates from.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- It is nothing to do with kanga, is it?!- No, nothing to do with kanga!
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- It is just easier to say than Rhiannon.- Oh, Rhiannon is the proper name? OK.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16I couldn't spell Rhiannon when I was three, so Roo was a lot easier.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I couldn't spell it now! But you are very keen on the four-legged friends too.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Yes, I spend most of my time with my auntie and the horses down the yard.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27You are thinking about dabbling in a bit of crime. Not personally.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Not personally, but I am planning on going to
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- university in September to study criminal psychology.- Are you?- Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38Do you think you're going to be any good at taking on these dealers? Because they are a pretty tough lot.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42- We'll see.- Psychologically, you're going to need to nibble away,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- you and your aunt.- Definitely.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Well, the first step is for me to give you £300 apiece.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50There is your £300. You know the rules.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Your experts await, and off you go, and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Gosh, what great teams today.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59And of course, they will need some help from our experts.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02He's no shady character but a man of character.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05The impeccable Jonathan Pratt for the Reds.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And snapping at his heels for the Blues,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11we have the delightful Kate Bliss. She's a picture!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14What are you for looking today, you two?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17A bargain! Simple as that, really.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20I think we've got to think about where we're going to sell it on.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Absolutely.- Rather than just go for stuff that we like.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25We have got to keep in mind the bigger picture.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Pretty things.- Pretty things, OK. Pretty things and the bargain.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31There is lots here. It is a massive place, this.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- We have got lots to look at, so let's go bargain-hunting. - Definitely.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37So, really, you want something that's going to make money.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40It doesn't matter what it is but you are after profit.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Something that sells, definitely. - We don't necessarily have to like it. It's got to be a bargain.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Sounds good to me. I think we are going to gallop around this fair.- Excellent.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50We have barely left the starting gate
0:05:50 > 0:05:54and already Andrea has galloped on ahead to get her first find.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56What has drawn you to rocking horses?
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- Because they are still popular now. - Yes.- And it looks really old.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- It's got some age. It's made of plastic.- Oh.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I don't know how much they are asking for it
0:06:08 > 0:06:12but if it were under... It would have to be under £30, really.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- I think Andrea should get on it to try it out.- I think I'd break it!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21No, you're all right. My daughter is only a little bit shorter than you.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Go on, hop on.- I don't want to break it.- Give it a shot.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Yee-ha!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Crikey, rein in that brother-in-law of yours, Andrea.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Does it work? You've gone off it now, have you?- It does work.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- I don't know. I don't like the plastic head.- No.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Isn't that gangnam style? How does it go?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Yes, I think we should lasso these two.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49Never mind gangnam, how are the other gang of horsey lovers trotting along on the Blue team?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Looks like they have sniffed something out.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- That's cute.- Spirit bottle there. It's got a silver-plated top.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59But it's got its leather...
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- It's quite nice that it's got its leather case.- Exactly.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05- Its leather case, which is rather nice.- That goes with it as well.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09This goes with it? Look at that. So that fits. Oh, that's nice.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Thank you for that.- Is that silver plate as well?- Yes, it is.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16Age-wise, I would say it is probably, with that plated top,
0:07:16 > 0:07:18maybe '20s or '30s.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- How much is it?- Now, let's get down to business. It's 85.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- I do really like it.- Shall we ask the lady what she can do for us?
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Yes, please.- 50.- 50? Would you do it for any less? 45?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- It's got a squeak on it. - 48. 48, that would be the best.
0:07:36 > 0:07:3848? Is that good?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Hold your horses, Marian.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44You've got to really rely on the right person being there at the auction.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Can we come back to it? - We certainly can.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- We can have a little think. - Is that all right? - Something to bear in mind, though.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54You don't want to back the wrong horse, Blues.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Now, the Reds are talking carpets.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Are they about to fly away with something?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03This rug is about 80 or 90 years old.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It's from West Persia and you've got this leaf and flower border,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08which is very typical of that area.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09They ends have gone a little bit,
0:08:09 > 0:08:13but it's kind of absolutely right for a rug of that sort of age.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- About £50? - I would buy it for £50, happily,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19because it would be a good deal just to go straight into the home.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22If it were at auction, I'd still think it's fair enough.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25The buyer has to pay a buyer's premium,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27so then £50 at auction is £65.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Even though down there there's a slight bit of damage?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Can I crawl across your carpet, please?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- There is a tiny little hole there, actually.- Hold on a minute. I just need to get a feel for it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38No lying down on the job, Marek.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Does that matter? I reckon that is at least a fiver off for that.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43If the chap took 40, I would say it was a good deal, to be honest.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- He wouldn't take 40.- 35?!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Wrong direction, Marek.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- I quite like it, Andrea.- Would you put it on the floor at home?- No.- No.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55There we are. Let's keep walking, then!
0:08:59 > 0:09:01So the rug didn't work its magic on you, Reds,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04but the Blues seem charmed by something.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06That is the snuffer.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11So you take it off and to snuff out your tiny little chamber stick,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14your candle, you pop that on the top there.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Would that actually be for a kid? It's for a very small person.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- It's dainty.- It's a tiny candle.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Yes, I would say it is more of a cabinet piece rather than
0:09:24 > 0:09:27a functional piece. As you can see, it is incredibly ornate.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31This is what is known as embossed decoration, or repousse,
0:09:31 > 0:09:37and you've got acanthus leaves here and lovely scrolls.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40Very elaborate scrolls that make up the base.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45But that is all reflected in the price, which is £115.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Hi, sir. What could you do for us on this?- Let's have a look for you.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Thanks very much.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56It would have to be 100.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Shall we put it back and bear it in mind again?- Is that your absolute...
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- It really is, I'm sorry. - Another one on the list.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05I do really like it but we might find something similar
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- that we've got a little bit more leeway with...- Maybe. Let's think about it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- We might well come back. Thank you for your help.- Thank you very much.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Yes. You don't want to snuff out your chances this early on, girls.
0:10:16 > 0:10:23- What are they?- I don't know.- Old tobacco tins.- People collect tins.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Are you looking at buying the whole lot?- You would do, wouldn't you?
0:10:26 > 0:10:30How much are you saying for the whole lot? The whole boxful.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33The box I have got a fiver on, but the tins themselves,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I am asking a pound each, so probably 15 quid for the lot.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- So just the contents.- Without the box.- 15 quid without the box.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- Let's say £10 without the box. - You could do £15 with the box.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- 15 quid with the box. - I wouldn't take the box.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Go ten with the box, because people will find their own box
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- and the value would be entirely for collectors.- I like it.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53For £10, it is a nice little buy. It's interesting.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57It is also a collector's lot. You might make yourself a few pounds.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59If we do, can we not have the little camel things in it?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Don't start taking stuff out!
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Look, we don't want that but we'll still pay ten quid!
0:11:05 > 0:11:10- No, we're taking it. It's great. It's all there.- Do you have a bag?
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- Let's take the box now.- So just the contents, not the box, £10, yes?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- £10, yes.- 10 quid. Can you do it nine quid and we are sold?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21It's yours, I've gone, nine quid. We are sorted.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Marek thinks he's in Marrakech!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Go on, then.- Nine pounds. - Nine pounds.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- Andrea, nine pounds, get in there! Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Nine pounds. Bargain-hunting at its best!- I can't believe it.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36- Let's just go home!- Let's bag it up before you change your mind.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Yes, quickly. Let's go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Yes, your first bargain buy, Reds, at only 12 minutes in.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45But has something stolen the Blues' hearts?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So, quite plain.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52A little heart-shaped trinket box and velvet lined, which is rather nice.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56If we turn it over you can see it's got quite a clear English hallmark on the bottom.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59So I think it's probably George V period
0:11:59 > 0:12:02and would be for your earrings or your rings.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It would sit on a little dressing table.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I rather like it for its plainness, actually.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10It's in nice condition, on what's called little cabriole legs.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- The legs are cute.- I like the legs.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14What are we talking, price-wise, for that?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Think cheap. Think very small numbers.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Nice try, Marian.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Believe it or not, I'm not the boss.- Fantastic! - I think I saw the boss earlier.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26You have free rein to do what you like, then!
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Marion is playing mind games. I thought you were the psychologist, Roo.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- 70 any good? - I'd have to do 80 on it, really.
0:12:34 > 0:12:39You say 70, you say 80, so logically we need to go 71!
0:12:40 > 0:12:44No, I will stay on 80! As I say, it's quite a drop.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45What do you think?
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Yes, 70 would be great if we are going to stand a chance of making any profit, I have to say.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I will do it for 75.
0:12:52 > 0:12:5472.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Please?- All right, I will do it for 72.- You're brilliant.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Thank you very much. Fantastic. First purchase, girls.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08- I think that's really girly. It is not like us at all. - It's not. It's weird.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Well, Blues, it is girly and it's your first buy.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15Better trot along, though, as it seems the Reds could have nailed their next.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Look at that. This manicure set. - Is it?- Yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22It's very Victorian in style.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24In fact, the case itself has got some age.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- The old buffer, look, for your nails. - I like it, Andrea.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- There's a connection there, isn't there?- Is there?- Yes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Andrea is a nail technician. - Are you?- Yes. Look at her nails.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36When it gets hot later on, they're going to turn pink.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Will they really?- Yes. It changes colour in the heat.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I'm going to be walking around like this, looking at your fingernails.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47- Is this definitely not worth anything?- I didn't say that. What did I say?- I don't know.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50It is silver-plated, not silver. It is silver-plated, not silver.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54- £68.- You can see it's been kept in the box.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56You can see the sun has faded the tops and not the bottom
0:13:56 > 0:13:59so it's been sitting in there so it has got some age to it.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- The case suggests probably the '20s. - Yes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06The sort of shell bit on the top here gives it away little bit
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- and it is the original case for it. - I like it.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Well, it's got a connection to you.- I like it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13It's complete, which is important.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15- It has some age, that's important too.- Yes, but how much?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I reckon you should get...
0:14:18 > 0:14:19Hi.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- £45?- 20 quid.- No, I can't.- You have to start low. Work your way up.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Watch out, it's Marek-kech again!
0:14:26 > 0:14:30You heard that! Would you take 45?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- 55.- Could we shake on 50?
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- No. It's too low, is 50 for me. - 53.- Go on.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- Hooray! 53.- High-five.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- High-five.- High-five.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Nice haggling, Andrea,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52and nice timing with your second buy as it's just over halfway.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56So, Marian and Roo, you'd better canter along to catch up.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58What kind of breed would you say?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- He looks quite like Bernard, who is a thoroughbred.- So this is your horse?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Yes. Roo looks after him and has loaned him from me
0:15:05 > 0:15:08for the last few years, and that is him on a bad day, definitely.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- Definitely.- He looks quite grumpy. - Really, really grumpy. - He's got his ears back too.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- It looks like he's been spooked. - How much is it?- It's marked at 190.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- That's £10 less than what we paid for the actual horse!- Is it?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Yes. We could swap. We could do swapsies.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28Not sure a full-sized Bernard would go down well inside the fair room!
0:15:28 > 0:15:31That's bronze but it's quite a lacquered finish, actually,
0:15:31 > 0:15:33which isn't great.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36If it had a nice age to it, it would have a nice worn patina there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You can tell this is actually quite a modern one
0:15:39 > 0:15:42but it is a good subject. A commercial subject.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47- It's quite a nice size as well, isn't it?- Yes. £190 though.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- It's a lot of money. - It is a lot of money.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55So, you don't fancy a flutter on Bernard, Blues. Wisely left.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59With two buys under their belts, the Reds are obviously relaxing.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Give it a dry.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12And could Marian and Roo be taking it just too easy?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I think we've got 12 minutes. We've only actually bought one item.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I don't think that hip flask is looking so bad after all.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20No, I quite like it.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25And we could head back there and see if there is anything else on the stall you might like.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- OK. That was in the other building, wasn't it?- That is this way.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Let's go back that way.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Yes, giddyup now.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- What is it?- It's a little vase. - What's that at the bottom? - That is the mark.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43The way it's made and the way it is finished at the bottom suggests
0:16:43 > 0:16:47to me it is probably a couple of hundred years old. It's continental.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Probably Italian. It's quite interesting.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53There are a few little niggles on the glaze because it is an overglaze decoration
0:16:53 > 0:16:55and it is a very soft body.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59But the reason why I picked that up is, I don't actually know what it is entirely,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01but it is the sort of thing that at an auction...
0:17:01 > 0:17:05It is more speculative because you don't see that sort of thing that often.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- But it is beautifully painted.- It could make some money.- It might do.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- I don't know. It might do.- I reckon at our last minute...- Definitely.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16But, teams, you are into your final minute.
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- It's gone.- Has it gone?- Oh, no. - Oh, no, it's sold. Too late, girls.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- What are we going to do?- The Red team didn't buy it, did they? - No, they didn't.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31That is what you get, girls, when you are a bit too leisurely.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35That hip flask has spirited itself away but don't lose your bottle.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38There are plenty of others here up for grabs.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- So you like this one, Marian?- Yes. I do quite like it.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46It just feels nice and chunky and solid
0:17:46 > 0:17:49and it looks as if it's in quite good condition.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52The leather case is in lovely condition, isn't it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Then we've got the two glass pair of bottles inside.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59It almost looks Art Deco in design, with this ribbing to the glass,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but I would say, looking at the case, they are quite a bit later.
0:18:02 > 0:18:08They were probably '50s. We've got a name there on the case.
0:18:08 > 0:18:14Oh, it's French. Rue St Honore, Paris, which is rather nice.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- It is just in super nick, isn't it? - Yes.- Really nice condition.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Excuse me.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You've got 90 on this. What's the best you can do?
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- 75.- We are very tight for time so I'm going to go straight in there.
0:18:32 > 0:18:38- Could you do 50?- No.- What's your absolute rock bottom?- 70.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44- 65?- 70.- What are you going to do, ladies?- Let's do it.- Yes, go for it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- Happy?- Yes.- OK, brilliant. Yes, please.- Thank you.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Well done, girls. Your second buy.
0:18:51 > 0:18:56But time is running away from both of the teams to get their last buys.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00We have seven minutes left. Seven minutes is not very long.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- We could waste five minutes looking at stuff and then panic.- Yes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Let's do that!
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- Is that silver?- Yes, it is. In fact, it's very Art Nouveau in style.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Would it be popular? - A little photograph frame? Yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27Frames do sell well. They are commercial and people do like silver frames.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29This one, obviously, is miniature though.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32So you've only got room for two tiny little pictures.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36But it is hallmarked clearly. It's 1908. It's very Art Nouveau.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- It is a little wooden easel support.- It's got a stand as well.- That's nice.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42That is marked at 49.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Shall we ask what he can do on that? - Yes.- Why don't we?- Excuse me, sir.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49How much would you do that one for, please?
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I think we can do that for 40. I'll take the nine off.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- OK, that's not bad.- No. 30?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- I can't, I'm afraid. I'm sorry.- 35?
0:20:04 > 0:20:0635, then.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Is there anything else that we like before we say definitely yes to this?
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So calm and measured, you are, Marian.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18These two dressage riders can perform under pressure.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20But can the Reds handle the heat?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- A minute to go. - Four minutes, guys.- Let's go.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28There is no hurrying these girls.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30They take their time, use every second.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Even though the expert is having a heart attack!
0:20:33 > 0:20:38- How much are you asking for it? - I'll do it for 60 for you.- 60?- Yes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40It's a bit of a punt.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45- I think if you could do it for 50, that's a definite buy.- Go on, 50.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- 50, Andrea?- I don't know.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Talk about pressure.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53How fit are you? Otherwise, you've got to run to the other side of the fair, and he may change his mind.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Let's go for 50. It's a pure punt. - All right.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01- 50.- It's there.- Bang! Done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05At last. The final deal is done so you Reds can relax.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10But if Marian and Roo don't snap up this picture frame, they could rue the day.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Shall we go for that, then?
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Yes, I think we should. - Happy?- Yes.- Great.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You've got less than a minute left so I think we better say yes.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Before you change your mind. Thank you very much.- Thanks very much.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Brilliant.- Good luck with everything.- Thanks a lot.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Well done, girls.- Excellent. No need to panic.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32We've got a whole minute left! We could go again.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34We could buy another three items in that time! Easy!
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Time's up.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Let's check out what the Red team bought and see if they are on track.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44First, the Reds leapt in, buying this collection of tins
0:21:44 > 0:21:47and model camels for just £9.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Then they scrubbed up nicely
0:21:49 > 0:21:52with this 1920s German manicure set for £53.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58And finally, they went for the late-19th-century majolica vase
0:21:58 > 0:22:00for £50.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Now, Andrea, what I want to know is, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:04 > 0:22:06I liked the manicure box.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Well, you would do, wouldn't you, in your trade.- Yes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- Why can't you use it for pedicure? You could, couldn't you?- Yes.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14OK. Lovely.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- That's got that sorted out. It's all to do with nails anyway.- Yes, it is.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Very nice too. Which is your favourite piece, Marek?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's tricky one. I think the cheeky little vase at the end
0:22:23 > 0:22:26because it is an unknown quantity for us, really.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- That's exciting, then, isn't it? - Totally.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32And do you think the unknown quantity is going to bring the biggest quantity of cash?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Probably not. It's probably going to fall flat on its face.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37So what's your prediction for the biggest profit?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- The cheeky little vase at the end. - No, mine.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- Andrea's manicure and pedicure thing. Why not?- OK, fine.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48- So how much did you spend altogether?- £112.- You spent 112.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53- Is that all?- Yes.- Please may I have £188 of leftover lolly.- Yes.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57OK, that's good. Thank you. And I've got my three coming. There.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Excellent. Straight across to JP.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01What are you going to spend all that money on?
0:23:01 > 0:23:05I've seen something and it's very appropriate for the Red team.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08- Is it pretty and sparkly?- No. It'll get you in a spin, though.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Food for thought. We'll find out shortly but right now,
0:23:12 > 0:23:14why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:23:14 > 0:23:20The Blues fell in love with the heart-shaped trinket box at £72.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Then they bagged these gent's toilette travel bottles
0:23:23 > 0:23:25from gay Paris for £70.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29And finally, they snapped up a silver-mounted oak picture frame
0:23:29 > 0:23:31for £35.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- You are happy with what you bought? - Yes, very happy.- Definitely.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- That's great.- I would say this is a very happy team.- Yes, we are. - Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:39 > 0:23:44I think the last item we bought, the little picture frame, silver picture frame, was really cute.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47OK, that is your personal favourite. What about you, Roo?
0:23:47 > 0:23:51I think it had to be the little silver heart-shaped trinket box that we got. Our first buy.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I don't know. Not as much as the silver...
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Hopefully the picture frame will be the biggest profit.- You reckon?
0:23:59 > 0:24:05- Possibly.- What did you spend all told?- £177.- 177.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'd like £123, please.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13- Which is very kind. Thank you. That is quite a lot, Kate, isn't it?- It is.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17And rather fun for you to go off on your own and maybe blow the lot?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Yes, possibly blow the lot.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22These guys are animal lovers, obviously, both of them.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- So I'm going to go on that note, I think.- OK, well, there's a tease.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Thank you very much for that. Have a nice cup of tea, girls.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Meanwhile, I'm going off to have a fry-up.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40I'm now about to perform a surgical operation.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44This piece of equipment looks as if I might be.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48The operation that you'd perform with this bit of kit, though,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51was restricted entirely to the dining room.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56What we've got here is an extremely sophisticated spirit-burner.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59The elevated part here has got a little knob
0:24:59 > 0:25:01into which you put some methylated spirit.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05The methylated spirit then goes down a concealed tube
0:25:05 > 0:25:07and appears at the burner.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11The other end of the burner is controlled by a nicely turned
0:25:11 > 0:25:15wooden knob, in ebony, and if I give that a bit of a twirl
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and unscrew it, you can see that it is tapering.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23That's because it precisely fits a tube on the other side,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26allowing a precise amount of meths into the burner
0:25:26 > 0:25:31from which you can adjust the height and heat, therefore, of the flame.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Which is clever, isn't it?
0:25:33 > 0:25:38I mean, it's low tech but it's very well engineered.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40And that's the whole point.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45There are lots of these so-called primus, which is a pumped-up,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48paraffin-based burning devices
0:25:48 > 0:25:53and methylated-spirit-type heaters about on the market place,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58but I've never seen one in a fancy silver-plated frame like this.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03If you look at the top, it says Manning Bowman & Co.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Turn it upside down and that signature is repeated again
0:26:06 > 0:26:10and it was made in Meriden, Connecticut.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Indeed, there is a patent number on it for September 22 1908,
0:26:16 > 0:26:21which enables us to date the thing precisely. So what's it worth?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Well, here in Kent it would cost you £40.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30What might it be worth in America? Well, that's the big speculation.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Is this a known maker in the USA?
0:26:33 > 0:26:38Do people in America still dine in a style that requires
0:26:38 > 0:26:41this sort of methylated spirit burner?
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Because if they do, surely this thing, to an Americano,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48has to be worth £200 to £300.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Yes?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Yes. Yes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01£45, madam.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08What bliss to be back in Canterbury at the Canterbury Auction Galleries
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- to be with Michael Roberts. Good morning.- Good morning, Tim.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16We've got a mixture here. Think tins.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Think 21 tins like this selection.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Of course, there is a good market for advertising ware,
0:27:22 > 0:27:24the social history aspect,
0:27:24 > 0:27:28- but these are ordinary and not in the best of shape.- How much, though?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- I think somewhere between £5 and £10.- Our lot paid £9.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35I bet they make a pound or two's profit on it, because that is the way things will be,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36but it isn't going to be a fortune.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40OK, fine, that's the answer to that. Now, what about this manicure set?
0:27:40 > 0:27:45- Is that wacky or what?- I don't know, really. It's in a traditional style.
0:27:45 > 0:27:4718th-century Rococo design.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50They are chrome fittings, or white metal, but the finish to them
0:27:50 > 0:27:53isn't silver, which normally you would see.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Have you ever seen as good a chrome set?- No, in fairness.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- They look brilliant, don't they?- They do.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01- They look like silver, they feel like silver, but they're not. - Indeed.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- So how much for a chrome set, the like of which we have not seen before?- I would say £20 to £30.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09£53 paid. Which is fairly rich, really.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12And their last item is the piece of majolica
0:28:12 > 0:28:17that they fondly think might be perhaps 16th century.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- How do you see it? - I see it as late 19th century.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24It is an attractive thing. If it were the period it is purporting to be, it'd be worth a lot of money.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29- It certainly would. Like several thousand pounds. - Indeed.- But it ain't.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It's still an attractive thing and it's still 100 years old.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I see it as being £40 to £60. - Do you?- Yes.- That's not too bad.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- That's encouraging. £50 paid.- OK.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I think, overall, this team are going to need their bonus buy
0:28:40 > 0:28:42so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Andrea, Marek, this is your moment.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48You spent 112 and gave all that dosh to JP. Jonathan, what did you buy?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Here it is. Look at that.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- It's a chair. - A red chair for the Red team.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Do you know what? I'm loving it already.- Really?- Yes.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Because it's your colour or what? - It's a bit retro, isn't it?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02The thing is about modern design, you see,
0:29:02 > 0:29:07antiques auctions shouldn't all be about mahogany, walnut or silver.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11Why not buy a bit of 20th-century design? The style of it is the '70s.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Beautifully made and hand-stitched on this lovely swivel chrome base.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17I really like it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22You could sit in front of a Georgian bureau on this or you could sit in front of a modern desk.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- Can I try it out?- Yes, try it out. Go on. Get in there, girl.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29My children like to do this. Put your feet up. There we go. Look.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Not too fast. We have a health and safety issue on this programme!
0:29:32 > 0:29:36- No, seriously, though, feeling dizzy?- No, I'm fine.- Lovely.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40You say it's a good one. You don't know what I paid for it yet.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- How much was it?- It wasn't cheap but I thought quality comes at a price.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- It cost me £125.- 125, Andrea. - I like it. It's modern.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52- It's not old and boring.- Nice one. - OK, fine. We got the message there.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54I think they like it, JP. Well done.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Why don't we, for the audience at home, find out whether the auctioneer likes it?
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- How about that?- It's got the look. It's got that '70s look about it.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I think it's difficult to date it precisely.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08And indeed, I think they are still being made now.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11You can buy them online for a considerable amount of money.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Really? Is that a sum of money with lots of noughts on?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- A couple of noughts. - Really?- Indeed.- OK.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20But we find at auction that designer or reproduction designer pieces
0:30:20 > 0:30:22are difficult to sell.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26So we have been relatively conservative, or I have been quite conservative in my estimate,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28thinking between about £60 or £80.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31But I think it should make a bit more than that.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Is that a bit of a "come on and buy me" estimate?- Probably.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Let's hope it is successful because JP paid £125 and he rates it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39And who knows?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42If online it costs you a big price with a lot of noughts on,
0:30:42 > 0:30:46£125 is perhaps not that expensive. That is it for the Reds.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Now for the Blues. Much more traditional over here.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51The heart-shaped trinket box.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56- Every dressing table in 1910 had one on it.- Absolutely. Yes.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00An attractive little thing. It's reasonable quality.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01Slight denting to the legs,
0:31:01 > 0:31:05as you might expect after 100 years of plonking on a table,
0:31:05 > 0:31:08but it's OK and I would see it somewhere in the range of £30 or £50.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12£72 paid, which could be the first big mistake.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15What about the leather-enclosed double scent bottle job?
0:31:15 > 0:31:19It is of good quality and it's good to have the bottles with it.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22They often go astray or get dropped or damaged or chipped.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- And it is Parisian after all. - Absolutely.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- It has the look and the name, doesn't it?- It certainly does.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- It also has the sniff.- Good quality thing. £40 to £60.- £70 paid.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33That's the second big mistake.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Moving on to the double miniature frame.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37That, I think, is rather cute.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It is rather cute and it does appear to be broadly original.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Often, the backs do get replaced.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45There is a bit of repair or replacement to the strut just on the back.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48But of course, it is pretty titchy
0:31:48 > 0:31:51so your beloved portraits are going to be fairly small.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Nonetheless, it is a decent thing and somewhere around £20 to £30.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Marian paid £35 and she really rates it.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02If anything is going to get them out of trouble and mean they don't have to go with the bonus buy,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04that picture frame will do it.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06That's got the hope value, as far as I am concerned.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11In case we are seeing this the wrong way round and they need the bonus buy, let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- This is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16What do you suppose Kate Bliss spent your £123 on?
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I just happened upon, for two animal lovers,
0:32:20 > 0:32:23something which I thought might fit the bill.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26This obviously is a little miniature model.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- It's a bulldog.- It is a bulldog.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32But there is something a little bit more unusual about this chap
0:32:32 > 0:32:35because he's made of silver.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39Fairly weighty. And he's marked on the bottom for Dublin.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43- So he is in fact Irish silver. - He's an Irish bulldog.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47He's an Irish bulldog. So he's a little bit more interesting with that Irish mark.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- How old is he?- He is not antique.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54He is 1980 or thereabouts, so he is a 20th-century model, but he's got
0:32:54 > 0:32:58quite a bit of silver in there and I thought he was quite nicely cast.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- You can certainly see it's a bulldog.- He is weighty. He's kind of cute ugly.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04He looks quite aggressive, doesn't he?
0:33:04 > 0:33:07I do actually know quite a few dogs that look like that!
0:33:07 > 0:33:12- How much was he?- I knew you were going to say that! He was £70.- OK.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- And you think there is a profit in him?- I do.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19I think there is a small profit. If the right person is there, I don't see why there shouldn't be.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22He is not antique but he is a lovely little Irish silver model.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26If there is one thing that gets the collectors excited, it is dogs.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Dogs and cats, really. Domestic pets.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Silver, Irish, ugly dogs!
0:33:31 > 0:33:34OK, Marian. That's enough of that!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Anyway, right now for the audience at home, let's find out
0:33:37 > 0:33:40whether the auctioneer likes the Irish bulldog.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43There we are, look. One little snapper.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- It's a good thing, isn't it?- Nicely cast.- Nicely cast thing. It's Irish.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51We've got a hallmark here for 1980 so it's not terribly old.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54But nonetheless, dogs are obviously a popular theme
0:33:54 > 0:33:56and I'm sure there will be a market for it.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Estimate wise, we see £40 to £60. - £70 was paid by Kate Bliss.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03So that sounds a bit tight to me.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Maybe, but I wouldn't be surprised if it made £60 or £70, in fairness.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10As usual, Michael, you are very nice and positive about all this.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14And we'll find out what the truth of the matter is in just a moment. Thank you.
0:34:19 > 0:34:2177 on commission.
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Marek and Andrea, you are about to stand on the precipice of Bargain Hunt.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- How do you feel?- Nervous.- Yes. Pretty nervous.- Do you feel nervous?
0:34:32 > 0:34:38- Yes.- Anything you are worried about? - Pretty much everything.- The tins.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41How can you be worried about a £9 group of tins?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44- It's probably only going to make £5.- Don't worry about it.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47You've got a range of objects to sell
0:34:47 > 0:34:52and we just happened to start out with these ridiculous tins!
0:34:52 > 0:34:59Lot number 182 is the collection of 21 tobacco and advertising tins.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Who's going to start me at the princely sum of £5?
0:35:03 > 0:35:06£5, then, bid on commission, straight in. £10?
0:35:06 > 0:35:10All the tins, advertising tins, £10. OK, we'll go a different way.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Who's £6? 6 on the internet.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16£7 on commission. Who's 8? You know you want some tins.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19£8. Think of all the stuff you can put in them.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23- He's trying hard.- At £7. At 7 and selling.
0:35:25 > 0:35:30That is minus £2, but that is not so bad. Good auctioneering.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34- Here comes your manicure set. - Rococo design. 183, good set this.
0:35:34 > 0:35:41Who's going to start me at £10? £10, thank you, straight in. 15? 15. 20.
0:35:41 > 0:35:4725. 30. 35. 40. 45. 50.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Yes. You are in profit.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5570. Back in at 75.
0:35:55 > 0:36:0080, sir, at the back? 85. 90? No. £85 and selling, then. 85.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Yes!
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Just magic, isn't it?
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- 53, 63, 73, 83.- Drinks on us! That's a joke!
0:36:10 > 0:36:17That is £32. Plus 32. You had minus 2 before - you're plus 30.
0:36:17 > 0:36:22184 is the Italian majolica vase.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Late 19th century with the stylised Medici arms to the front.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31Who's going to start me, then, at £30? £30? A good-looking thing.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35£20 to start, then. It must be worth 20 quid. Thank you, 20.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3925 by the door. It must be worth £30. Right in front, 30, thank you.
0:36:39 > 0:36:45- 35?- I can't bear it. - I will sell at £30.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47You are plus £10.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Now this is a difficult one because you've got £10
0:36:51 > 0:36:53and that is £5 each.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56What are you going to do with that swivel?
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- Let's just go for it, Andrea.- OK.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02It's £125 of risk but do you believe in it? Do you love it as an object?
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Would you buy it for £125 or more?
0:37:08 > 0:37:11- No. Let's just go for it. - It's a laugh, isn't it?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14- Let's just go for it. - Are you going for it?- Let's go.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- You've made your decision?- Yes. - We are going with this bonus buy.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Come hell or high water.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22You'll find it's available to buy
0:37:22 > 0:37:24for anywhere between £1,000 and £1,500.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27That is good to mention that.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Who's going to start me off, then? £100? On commission, 100. 110?
0:37:32 > 0:37:37Straight in. 120. 130. 140. No. 140.
0:37:37 > 0:37:42150. 160. 170.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- Look at this.- Andrea!
0:37:44 > 0:37:51190. 200. 210, someone? Standing, 210. 220? No. 210.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54With you, sir, in the check shirt. Any further offers?
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Back in at 220. 230.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01240. 250. 260. Back in, 270. Thank you.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05280? No. 270 in the check.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08You've got yourself a very good buy at 270.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10ALL: Yes!
0:38:12 > 0:38:16That's the business! Dear, oh dear, oh dear! Look at that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19I tell you what, they've got themselves a bargain.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- My heart was beating. - How much is that?
0:38:21 > 0:38:28That is 125, that's 145, plus 145, plus the 10 is 155.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Yes! Now give him a kiss.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34He deserves a kiss.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Give me a kiss! - He deserves a kiss.
0:38:37 > 0:38:42That is a marvellous result. So exciting.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Well, what a result!
0:38:52 > 0:38:57- So, now, Marian, Roo, do you know how the Reds got on?- Not a clue.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- We don't want you to know.- They looked quite glum.- They looked glum?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- That may be an act.- It could be, couldn't it? You never really know.
0:39:03 > 0:39:09Anyway, here comes your first item, the heart-shaped trinket box, and it's looking good.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Who's going to start me at £30 on commission?
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Who's 35? A silver box, heart shaped. 40 on the internet.
0:39:16 > 0:39:2245. 40 on the internet. Even better. Who's 45? 45, madam, thank you.
0:39:22 > 0:39:27Who's 50? £50? Any more bids? Are we all done? Are we sure?
0:39:27 > 0:39:31It must be worth 50 quid. If not, I will sell at £45.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Dear, oh dear, that is blood out of a stone.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Now, the leather two division.
0:39:37 > 0:39:42205 is the leather covered toilet box by the Paris maker here
0:39:42 > 0:39:45with the original cut-glass bottles with the chrome fittings.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50Lot number 205. Start at £25 on commission, and I'm looking for 30.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56£30 I'm bid. And five? No, with you at 30. 35, thank you. 40. 45.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- No?- Go on! - I'll buy you a cup of tea!
0:40:00 > 0:40:0645, 50, 55. No? Any more bids at all? At 50 and selling.
0:40:06 > 0:40:1050 is minus 20, you are minus 47.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Now, this is going to make it all back, this picture frame.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- You watch this picture frame. - We admire your optimism.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17You watch this go.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21Lot number 206. A pretty frame. Who is starting me at £20?
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Pretty frame here. Right at the back, 20. Thank you. Straight in.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Internet, 25. 30 in the room. 35, internet.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Thank you. 40? No. Any further bids?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33I can't bear this.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Any more? Thank you.- 40.- 40 with you in the room, sir. 45, anybody else?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40I think I am going to weep.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43No? At 40, then. I will sell at £40.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46£40 is plus £5. There is no denying that.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Which means you are minus 42. Minus 42, it's not too bad.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55But it should have done so much better, shouldn't it?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Particularly that frame. God, how frustrating!
0:40:59 > 0:41:01What are we going to do about the bulldog?
0:41:01 > 0:41:04Is that going to drag you out of trouble? £70.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- I think we're going to go for it. - Yes.- OK.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11That's it, then, we are going with the bonus buy and very, very good luck, girls.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Lot 210 is the Irish silver model of a bulldog.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19Who's going to start me than at £20? 20 I am bid, thank you.
0:41:19 > 0:41:2325? £25 the bulldog model here.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- I'm not liking the look of this. - £30.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31Who's 35? Any more bids internet or elsewhere? I will sell at 30.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36That's a loss of £40, on top of the 42 is minus 82.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Doesn't sound too bad if you say it quickly.- Doesn't, does it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Anyway, the big thing to do is not to say a word to the Reds.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46All will be revealed in a moment. Like I say, you have been brave.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Haven't they been brave?
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Well, teams, this is a turn-up for the old books, isn't it?
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- You been chatting, you lot? - No.- No? Not about...
0:42:03 > 0:42:08Not about it, which is kind of money or anything like that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- Well, the runners-up today by a big old chalk are the Blues.- Hey!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15Bad luck, team.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Minus £82, like I said, is not too bad if you say it quickly
0:42:19 > 0:42:22and you had a few torpedoes in there, minus £27, minus £20.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- Let's not go into it, but did you have a nice time?- Yes.- You did.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- It's the taking part that counts, Tim.- Exactly, it's the taking part.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32That's what I tell myself every day.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35You have been great, we've loved having you on the show.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41Thank you very much, but the victors are going home with £155 in cash!
