0:00:06 > 0:00:09We are back at Wetherby Racecourse,
0:00:09 > 0:00:11so hang on to your hats, ladies and gentlemen
0:00:11 > 0:00:13and let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45We're at a very sporty part of town here at Wetherby Racecourse,
0:00:45 > 0:00:47with two teams champing at the bit,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50longing to trot around the course.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54So why don't we take a quick squint as to how they got on?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00The Red team want to get the right price by any means necessary.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Should have maybe flirted for that silver a bit more!
0:01:02 > 0:01:05I'm sorry, I'm sorry, too late was the cry!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I don't think that I was up his street, you know?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13And it's all going to the dogs with the Blues.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15HE YAWNS
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's OK, come on.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24On the show today we've got two teams of friends.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Ian and Ben for the Reds, and Jill and Andi for the Blues.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Hello, everyone.- ALL:- Hello! - Very nice to see you.- And you, Tim.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Ian, I understand you've worked with sheep for over 20 years?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Something like that, yes, one way or another,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40I've been involved with sheep and beef over the last 20-some years.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Have you? You do a bit of am-dram yourself?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Yes, yes, me
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and the daughter are involved in local amateur dramatics, yes.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Are you? What sort of part do you play,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53the shepherd at Christmas, I suppose?
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Ironically not, no, I've played anything from an Indian chief,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01the Mirror on the Wall, and last year I was the pantomime dame.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03How did you come across Ben?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I applied for a job at his dad's farm,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08and that's where we became friends.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Stuck with him ever since.- Really?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13So, Ben, what do you do on your father's farm?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15A little bit of everything,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18ploughing the fields, lambing, calving, yeah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- What's your favourite task?- Tractor driving, I think, definitely.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You are a pretty good shot, I'm told.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I do a bit of clay pigeon shooting, yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Game shooting is my keen passion.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Listen, are you Yorkshire farmers going to be any good at this lark? - Absolutely.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Because you are known to be free spenders, you like to go out and blow the lot...
0:02:36 > 0:02:38THEY LAUGH Careful with our money.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- You're looking forward to it. - Absolutely.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42It's a grand place here at Wetherby, and very good luck with it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Girls, it says here you're dog crazy, Jill, is that right?
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Absolutely dog crazy. - How did all that start?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Dog training, I had a rather unruly German Shepherd
0:02:52 > 0:02:55when I was a bit younger, and took it along to a dog training club,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58and caught the bug, really, went on to competing,
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- then opening up a daycare centre with my friend.- Isn't that lovely?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- You go to various dog shows.- We do.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So, it's dancing with dogs, that's what most people know it as,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11it's almost like obedience, but to music.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14So, I suppose the Alsatian's very good at the waltz
0:03:14 > 0:03:19and the Chihuahua is better at a little quickstep, is it?
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Probably! Yes, I'm sure it does. - Exactly.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26So, Andrea, what's your role in the business?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Well, I prefer to be called Andi... - Do you? Oh, right.- ..if that's OK.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31That's your nickname, Andi?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35It is, yes. Jill and I set up the business and I tend to do the banking
0:03:35 > 0:03:38and things, which I hate, I hate doing that side of it.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40But she managed to get rid of that job on you?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- She did, she was very clever, wasn't she?- Pretty neat.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46Now for the money moment. £300 apiece.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49You know the rules, your experts await, off you go and very,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52very, very good luck.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53I could do with a treat myself!
0:03:58 > 0:04:00So, who are our trusted experts today?
0:04:01 > 0:04:07Making sure the profits stream in for our Reds, it's Natasha Raskin.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13And flying by the seat of his pants, he's canny - he's Paul Laidlaw.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Ian, Ben, a couple of shepherds, lucky me!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Would I be right in thinking that you share several passions?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Namely, doggies?
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- What are you thinking? - Oh, a nice bit of Moorcroft,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27if we can find a bargain Moorcroft, I think.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Pooches, and on the other hand, mutts...- Yes.- Definitely!
0:04:31 > 0:04:33..might be a flavour of what we buy today.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35A bit of cheap silver, something like that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, I'm going to have my work cut out with you two!
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Let's go, walkies!
0:04:39 > 0:04:44But Jill, Andi, it'll be hard to teach an old dog new tricks.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Might be fooled, what do you think?
0:04:46 > 0:04:48OK, so the blue and white is catching your eye,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- why do you have a look at that?- It just caught me eye then, that's all.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Just looked very pretty.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54It is quite pretty,
0:04:54 > 0:04:58and do you think that's the kind of thing that would turn you a profit?
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Depends how much it is to buy, doesn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Shall we ask the gentleman and the lady?
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- What price have you got on that? - £5.- £5, OK.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Shall we have a look?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- What do you think to that, Natasha? - Let's have a little look.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, it's transfer ware, it is not hand-painted,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13So if it were hand-painted
0:05:13 > 0:05:16blue and white, we'd be looking at a slightly better product.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19It is in quite nice nick, it's not the worst thing you've ever
0:05:19 > 0:05:21seen, it's from Genoa, it's continental.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25To be entirely honest with you, I don't think it's the kind of
0:05:25 > 0:05:28thing that that on the rostrum, we are going to see a huge profit being
0:05:28 > 0:05:31turned, but if you like it, it's really up to you, it's your game.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- We'll keep it in mind. - OK, so, blue and white, OK.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38- You're meant to be on the Red team! - THEY LAUGH
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I was about to say that. You stole my line, Natasha!
0:05:42 > 0:05:46Hold on, it looks like our Blues are having a light bulb moment.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- What have you seen? - It's like a lamp...- Theatre light.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- A theatre light.- That buying on trend, isn't it?- It's beautiful.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Yeah, yeah, the tripod spotlight.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59There will be no age to that. £300?
0:05:59 > 0:06:031950s, he says. It's about £300... Did he say £350?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- It was over £300, yes. - Oh, but isn't it beautiful?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Can we afford it?- No.- Then I don't care how beautiful it is.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Come on, then.- Let's get over there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Yes, you rein them in, Paul.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Now, who is leading the way with these Reds?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24OK, so, first of all, I'd like to say congratulations, Ben,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27you've found some silver. What have you got in your hands?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- A bonbon dish.- A pair of bonbon dishes. They are hallmarked.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Do you want to have a little look through this?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- It might help you to see more closely.- How professional!
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- Have you used one before?- Whoa! - No, I'm a natural.- OK!
0:06:37 > 0:06:41It's an anchor... I don't know what that is... A lion?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- Anchor, Birmingham.- HB. - OK, HB, that's the maker's mark.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Doesn't weigh too much, does it? - I was expecting it to be heavier.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Yeah, all in, I think a pretty girly bonbon dish for you, Ben,
0:06:52 > 0:06:53and very well done.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- STALLHOLDER: I think I can do you a good price.- Oh, you can?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00What's your very best price on that, then?
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- I would say £175, and you say... - £140.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- £145 is our lowest.- £145, and that's your very best price?
0:07:07 > 0:07:10It is, really, because there are worth every penny.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I have to admit, they are a very lovely pair.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14They are in good nick, they're very pretty, you can
0:07:14 > 0:07:17see the marks clearly, I think 145,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21hopefully we would be making about 160, 170, pushing 190 at auction.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, what do you think? I'm going to let you guys make the decision.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'm happy with that if you are.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I like them, as long as I make a profit, yeah. 145 do you?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Shall we shake hands? Oh, congratulations, it's a deal.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38- Thank you very much.- Well done, that's item number one sorted.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43We are 15 minutes in and you Blues had better get buying,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46or you could end up with your tail between your legs!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- What are we looking at, exactly? - I like the...
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's a magazine rack, with a dog's head on.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- Of course, why did I not guess? - Sorry, sorry, Paul.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It just sort of took my eyes when we were walking past.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Can we have a look at it? - Have a look, see if it's OK.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- That is... I mean, that's a hoot, is it not?- It's fun, isn't it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11- Jeez, there's substance to that! - It's heavy.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Oh, bonus!- Now I like it!
0:08:14 > 0:08:15THEY LAUGH
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Dog on both sides! - Is it down to the breed now?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- No, no, dog on both sides. - That was a surprise!
0:08:20 > 0:08:24So, we've lacquered brass, we've finest plywood,
0:08:24 > 0:08:28this is probably machine-pressed ply.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32An oak plinth, a bit of ebonising and you've got that whole...
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Wait a minute, there is something on the bottom.- Is there?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- And it's made in Belgium.- Right.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Wow! It means nothing. Um...
0:08:40 > 0:08:43So, that could be a Belgian Shepherd, then.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45That could be a Belgian Shepherd. What could that be?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47That looks like a Munsterlander.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- HE YAWNS - Paul, don't be rude!
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's OK, come on.
0:08:53 > 0:08:59- Buy it, buy it! But £10 or £20.- OK. - Seriously. I'm rooting for us.- OK.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- Is this the gentleman? Hi. - How are you doing?- How much is this?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Well, you've obviously got good taste.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08It's got a full pedigree and it's... It's house-trained, right?
0:09:08 > 0:09:12And it could go at a lowly £36.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- What?!- It's a pedigree!- I'd want corgis for that kind of money!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18No, seriously, I could do it for...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21very, very lowest, £27.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- PAUL SIGHS - What?!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26About seven pounds more than the most
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- I would ever have advised you to pay for it. Can I open this up?- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34I do like to see these things presented in my mind,
0:09:34 > 0:09:41your stylish little 1950s magazine rack, in a context involving,
0:09:41 > 0:09:45albeit a modern re-creation of
0:09:45 > 0:09:48a Bush classic tranny radio,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52that is THE transistor radio of the 1960s.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55What's that radio worth at auction? £20-£30, on a bad day.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- How do you feel about the radio? - We like the radios, don't we?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Yeah, we do.- Do you?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04We've got one like that at work, actually.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- I can see that in my house.- OK. - Do you fancy that?- Yes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Bargain basement, bulk purchase price?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15One radio, one kitsch magazine rack?
0:10:15 > 0:10:19I'll do that for 25, then, and I'll do the radio for 15.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24- Could we not do both for 30? - Oh, what?- Please.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- All right, we'll do 32.- 32.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29We could call that 20 for the magazine rack, which is
0:10:29 > 0:10:32what I suggested, £12 for the radio, sounds good to me.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Yeah?- I think that's a good deal, thank you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Right, OK. And a wee kiss.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Thank you. - Come on, pucker up, big man.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Ha-ha! Well, I must say, you Blues have tuned into this game all right.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You've taken the lead. Woof! Get it?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And we've gone past the 20-minute mark.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- What have we got here? - Like a magpie, attracted to this blue and white.- I know, absolutely!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- You didn't expect that, did you? - I didn't, no.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01OK, so I'm going to cover up the sticker, tell me what it is.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05- I would say an umbrella stand. - Ben?- A stick stand.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07You've nailed it, it's an oriental stick stand
0:11:07 > 0:11:09and it's actually quite gorgeous, isn't it?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Tell me about it, what's caught your eye?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15It stands out, doesn't it? Big and proud, just like me!
0:11:15 > 0:11:16NATASHA LAUGHS
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Is it hand-painted, or is it another transfer?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's transfer ware, yes.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You can see, when you look closely at the blue and white, you can
0:11:23 > 0:11:26see it sort of bleeding and it's not got a surface to it at all.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29There might be some hand-finished areas,
0:11:29 > 0:11:31but generally, this is a print that's been put on.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33But it's quite pretty,
0:11:33 > 0:11:37it's almost got sort of hints of Moorcroft, Florian ware, doesn't it?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Perhaps that's what attracted you to it, with the birds and the blossom.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Shall we have a look on the bottom? Ian, I might need a hand.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47There we go. What do you see on the bottom? Anything going on there?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Nothing.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50No, it's unmarked, there is a wee bit of damage,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- but it's generally quite nice, isn't it?- It is.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- OK, so, have you seen the price? - I haven't.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Have I got to have a sit down to have a look at this?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00You're going to have to sit down, I'm going to break it to you, it's £60.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- £60!- £60, yeah. So, what are you thinking about that?
0:12:04 > 0:12:05What do you think that's worth at auction?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Well, I think that my estimate at auction would be something
0:12:09 > 0:12:14in the region of £40-£60, so it's pushing towards the higher end.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19- But, Ian, this is your lot, it's over to you.- I like that.- Yeah?
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Can you get it for cheaper?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Well, yeah, it's all about the price, isn't it?- It's all about the price.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Shall we speak to the lady and gentleman and see what we can...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- See what we can muster up. - Yeah, exactly.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Excuse me, sir, your stick stand, what's the best price on that?
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- 40 quid. I can't go any lower. - That's the absolute definite?
0:12:37 > 0:12:42- That is it. And I've just dropped a third on that.- OK, so, £40.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46£40, that's at the bottom of your estimate, isn't it?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It's at the bottom of my estimate, however, it is within estimate.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I can see why you like it, it is very pretty,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55it does have that tiny smattering of the Moorcroft style towards
0:12:55 > 0:12:58the bottom, the Florian ware, it's a hybrid lot,
0:12:58 > 0:12:59it caught your eye immediately...
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- It stands out, like. - What do you think?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- It's all right, yeah.- 40 quid? - And you ain't got to carry it far!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Thank you very much.- Look at that, a deal has been done.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Handy for all those sticks, eh? And it may well hook in a profit.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Right, both teams now just need one item.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21- That's discrimination, really. - It is, yes.- Prejudice!
0:13:21 > 0:13:22They don't need any egging on, Paul.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Your Vesta with the little doggie on it, is it expensive?
0:13:26 > 0:13:31- My best price on it would be... £130.- May we have a look?- Sure.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Thanks very much.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39So, we know what it is. It's a Vesta case, a matchbox.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Gentlemen could wear it on a fob, if need be.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Foliate scroll engraved.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51But what lifts it, and what drew your eyes to it, is the wee pooch.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- In enamelled porcelain? - I believe it's enamelled porcelain.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I think it might be quite celluloid-y, it's quite...- Softer?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- It is soft. - I haven't tried it with my teeth.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03THEY LAUGH
0:14:03 > 0:14:09I'd have preferred it in hand-enamelled porcelain, let's say.
0:14:09 > 0:14:10Dogs sell, you know that.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13You know, people fall in love with pooches.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- Um, I think it's enough money. I think it's enough money.- Yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21I think if you wanted it, I'd say, fair enough. Not expensive.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- You want to take it to auction, however...- Yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28And it's too dear for you. It's worth about £80 at auction.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31- So, maybe the next one.- OK. Thank you very much.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- Thanks very much, that's wonderful. - Don't worry, every dog has its day!
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Now, you Reds, plough on!- You can take the boys out of the farm...
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Aah!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44OK, so, when it comes to ploughs, you guys are taking the lead.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46But sell it to me, tell me what you think.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Well, it's a bit before my time,
0:14:48 > 0:14:54but I think if it's painted up right and put on somebody's garden walls,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57you come up somebody's farm drive, it would look an absolute picture.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00Because I can't think there would be too many people wanting to use that.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Yeah, a good decorative piece. - Definitely, yeah.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Ben, what do you think? Would you want this in your garden?
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Yeah, I was just going to use it!
0:15:07 > 0:15:10No, it's a bit older than the machines I'm used to working with.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Yeah, exactly. - You can't sit on that and drive it.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- THEY LAUGH - Right, OK, so, the gentleman says
0:15:16 > 0:15:19that he thinks it's a mid-18th-century piece.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- However, it's not for use, is it? It's purely decorative.- Definitely.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24And like you said, a little bit of work,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26and this is proper pukka in your garden.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Absolutely, stand out, it will look absolutely smashing.- Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- It's 70 quid.- £70, right, OK. - I will do you a special offer.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38- A special offer of 70? - 65, to you.- 65, just a fiver?
0:15:38 > 0:15:39Cos you're too good-looking.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Proper gentleman, proper gentleman! - I think I'm blushing!
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- I think I might exploit that. Can you make it 50?- Make it 55.
0:15:46 > 0:15:5055, OK, so, I think these trews have bagged us a bargain.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You should have maybe flirted for that silver a bit more!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I'm sorry, I'm sorry, too late was the cry!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I don't think I was up his street, you know what I mean?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00So, what are you thinking?
0:16:00 > 0:16:06£55 for a plough, you are a farm salesman - sell it to me.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- It's worth that in scrap! - THEY LAUGH
0:16:09 > 0:16:13I think, do you know what, more and more, I think we have to bear that in mind,
0:16:13 > 0:16:17so, £55, you think it might scrap at that, it's got nice provenance,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20how many mid-18th-century ploughs are going to be in the auction?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I think it's a good buy, and if you're happy with it,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26we've got time on our side, so we can put it in the bank.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Something tells me it's not going to fly off the shelves.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31- No, I don't think it is, is it? - I don't think so.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34But we can take the gentleman's kind offer up, perhaps,
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- a little later on.- Oh, definitely.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Perhaps I'll meet him later in the bar, too.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40We'll go for a walk, see what else there is.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Well, you've definitely got a new admirer, Natasha!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47But there's not much time left. We are in the final 15 minutes.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Afternoon, how you doing? Nice to meet you.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I think we're going to rapidly reach that point...
0:16:54 > 0:16:58- Now, come on, Reds, stay sharp! - OK, so, what have we got here?
0:16:58 > 0:17:02We've got a little case set of Walker and Hall fish knives
0:17:02 > 0:17:05and forks. They're quite cute, what do you think about those?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- I quite like them, yeah.- Very nice.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09So, we've got the plate marks, with the Walker and Hall
0:17:09 > 0:17:13maker's mark and their little flag on the actual knife,
0:17:13 > 0:17:15but on the ferrule, we've got the silvermark,
0:17:15 > 0:17:19we got that all-important assay mark, the little lion.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23So, these are actually really desirable, early 20th-century,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but if we can get them at the right price,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29there could be a marginal profit. But it is a gamble.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's a definite gamble. So, do you want to have a little look at these?
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Get a feel for them. - Some weight to them, isn't there?
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- You've got the bone handles, so they are bit sturdy.- Very nice.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- They're very pretty. - Shall we have a quick browse around?
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- We've got 10 minutes, so... - Dash and come back.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Now, Jill and Andi, have you sent Paul to the doghouse yet?
0:17:54 > 0:17:59Let us have a look at that. This is working, perhaps, I think.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Birmingham, 1922.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04A little prize spoon, and it's one of the dog clubs,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- or kennel clubs, what does it say? - The English St Bernard Club.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Is the bowl engraved? When they are issued... Turn that around.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Ah, it was never awarded!
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Or rather, if it was awarded, it was never engraved.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Because commonly, these are bought from...
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Did you say this was a Fattorini piece?
0:18:20 > 0:18:26Fattorini, and they manufacture and retail, typically,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30enamelled medallions, prize medallions, prize spoons, little
0:18:30 > 0:18:34trophy pieces, lapel badges, these are commissioned by the club,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37bought in and then given out as prizes,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41it may be engraved "Best In Show", yeah?
0:18:41 > 0:18:46Well, I think it's a sweet little piece of period silver.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49It's got the whole dog thang going on!
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- I like that.- OK. Don't like it too much, though, because...
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- It's £35.- Oh, help!
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Actually, it doesn't seem like a lot of money, to be honest,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02it doesn't. But you know we are going to ask the question!
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- I'll do it for 30. How would that sound?- Any chance you could go to 25?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Er... 28.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- At auction, they can do really well, if doggy lovers latch on.- Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18If they don't, they can do really badly,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21because the silver trade aren't that impressed by them.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26- But at £28, you're not going to do badly.- It's worth a try, isn't it?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30And I think it's us! And I also think we're running out of time!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Thank you.- What do you reckon? Give them 28?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- That would be lovely, ladies, thank you.- Wonderful.- Thank you.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40It's a risk, but it does reflect your personality,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42so that's you lot sorted.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45But now, you Reds have to decide what you're going to do.
0:19:46 > 0:19:52- I think plough.- Right.- What do you think?- Knives.- Rock, paper, scissors?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Right, rock, paper, scissors for it. - One, two, three...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Right, plough it is. - Plough it is, OK.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Oh, my goodness, we've got five minutes!
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- We have come to see... - We've come to do your deal.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- ..if you'll do a deal on your plough.- Right, go on, then.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08So, what did you tell us before?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13You said 75, then you said 55, and now you're going to say 35.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18- I didn't, I said 50.- Oh, 50, you reckon we could get it for £50?- £50.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- OK.- Look, we've got £45 left.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Go on, then, give us it.- Oh, deal!
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Thank you so much. - You've made a poor farmer very happy.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Let me shake your hands. Can I give you a kiss?- Yeah, go on.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Thank you so much.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37A cunning tactic, Ben. Now you just have to save Natasha!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39You have a plough!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44That's it, time's up, let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Ben and Ian wanted silver, and got it in the form of this
0:20:47 > 0:20:51pair of silver pierced bonbon dishes at £145.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58And they stood their ground with this stick stand for £40.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Finally, they are hoping their antique horse-drawn plough
0:21:03 > 0:21:07could cultivate more than the £45 they paid for it.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Quite a loose spender.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12This is the trouble, they come in off the farm
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- and they go absolutely mad, right?- Absolutely.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- What did you spend, in total? - 230, I think.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22230, now, that is a mature amount of money
0:21:22 > 0:21:25and I'm very proud of all three of you for spending so much.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- Why, thank you.- Great. Which is your favourite piece, Ian?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33I would like to think the cultivator is the best piece, for me.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Which is a plough to everyone else, right?
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Fine, let's get that translated.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39And is that the favourite for you, Benbow?
0:21:39 > 0:21:41I think I like the silver, really.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44And is the silver really going to bring the biggest price?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Probably not, no.- No?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I think the stick stand will probably make the most.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50Do you agree with that, Ian?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52No, again, I'm favouring the plough.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55Well, it's nice to have a bit of unity in the team, isn't it(?)
0:21:55 > 0:21:58So, you spent the 230, I'd like £70 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03And, like the taxman, it gets taken and then it gets handed on
0:22:03 > 0:22:05to somebody else, who happens to be Natasha.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07How was the shopping for you today, petal?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Genuinely brilliant, I had the best time, you two were a scream.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Chalk and cheese, these two,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14but I think I've got something that is going to bring them together.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Bring them together, and hopefully make a big profit, yes?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Of course, absolutely, it's on the way.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well, we'll look forward to that.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Right now, though, why don't we check out what the blue team bought?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Everyone needs a mag rack, don't they?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Well, this one could be every man's best friend at £20.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38After tuning out, Paul found a new signal with this retro radio,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40bought for an enticing £12.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47And, finally, they hope this Dog Club prize spoon
0:22:47 > 0:22:49could be a winner at £28.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- LAUGHING AND CHATTING - .and the clock running out!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Clock running out?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You're telling me! That was pretty close, wasn't it?
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- It was, definitely.- Now, Andi, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04I love the magazine rack.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I didn't at first but now I really love it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09It grows on you, eh? What about you, Jill?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I like the little spoon we bought, it's gorgeous, very sweet.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Do you want to just hang on to that or what?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I'd love to keep it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- Well, you can't. Anyway... - LAUGHTER
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- I think the radio might. - The radio?- Yes.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Really? Well, you've got the great radio head here, in your expert.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32If he predicts it's going to do well, it probably will.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Anyway, fine. How much did you spend all-round?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- £60.- Did you?- We did.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- That's pretty pathetic, isn't it? On all three?- Yes.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Well, buy well - that's the secret, isn't it?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Well, I thought we could keep the change, so...- Now way!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48That's called leftover lolly and I want it.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50So, £240 of leftover lolly.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53That is a serious wodge, that is.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Good Lord.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57OK, Paul Laidlaw, the challenge is yours,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59the gauntlet is down, what are you going to do?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I'll tell you what I'm not going to do -
0:24:01 > 0:24:03buy anything with a dog theme.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Well, there we are then, it isn't going to be doggy,
0:24:05 > 0:24:08but it'll probably be delicious. Let's hope so.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Anyway, after that,
0:24:09 > 0:24:12why don't we have a look at something that I found earlier?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14Do you fancy a snifter? What?
0:24:20 > 0:24:25Do you fancy a little bit of silver? Well, try this one on for size.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27That's fun, isn't it?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Something to identify the contents of a cut glass decanter.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Cos once you've poured your bottle of brandy in
0:24:33 > 0:24:37it looks, in the decanter, rather like the colour of a whisky.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39You don't want to get them mixed up,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42so you use one of these things to provide the ID.
0:24:42 > 0:24:47They're collectable, sometimes because of the inscription on them,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and brandy isn't rare,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53but if you had something like shrub or ketchup,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57cos they went on sauce bottles as well as wine bottles,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00then you're talking about several hundreds of pounds
0:25:00 > 0:25:02as a result of the name on the label.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Turn this one over, it's got no hallmark on the back,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09which is normally not a good sign,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11but it's got a lovely inscription,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14a cipher, somebody's initials.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Work out the initials and it says TW.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20If you happen to be called Tim Wonnacott,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24this has to be the wine label with your name on it.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27But if you look at the style of that inscription,
0:25:27 > 0:25:32that cipher, it looks very early 18th-century to me.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36And then, if you look at the shape and form of the label itself,
0:25:36 > 0:25:41it has something of the Scottish or Irish provincial about it,
0:25:41 > 0:25:46which would make, to a wine label collector, this thing interesting.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49How interesting?
0:25:49 > 0:25:55Well, I think £150-£200 interesting.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59The other interesting thing is that you could buy it here
0:25:59 > 0:26:02today in Wetherby - it could be yours for 40.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04See what I mean?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Now we've headed north of Wetherby to County Durham.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20So, Peter Robinson is our host today at Thomas Watson auctioneers
0:26:20 > 0:26:25in Darlington Saleroom, and very, very nice it is to be here, Peter.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27Thank you very much, it's good to see you.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Now, the Reds. First up are some bonbon dishes.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Common or garden things these, normally, aren't they?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35They are, yes. They're a pair, which helps.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40They've got a nice late Victorian hallmark, 1894.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42And we've got no box.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45We've got no box, no presentation case, which would help.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48We put an estimate of 60-80.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Well, they paid £145, so you're going to have to work really hard
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- to make a profit.- Yes, well, I'll do my best.- OK.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Well, rather better, I think, on the opportunity for profit
0:26:59 > 0:27:01is this stick stand.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I mean with these sort of things, it could be 50 years old,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08it could be 100 years old, and does it really matter?
0:27:08 > 0:27:12We've put 40-80 on this, which, you know, is for nothing.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I mean, you get a great lump of ceramic for £40-£80, don't you?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Absolutely.- And our team paid 40, so they paid the right price.- OK.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21And they could turn a profit, and who knows?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24That might make up for any losses on the silver bonbon dishes.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Well, that's a good idea, good thought.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31Cos the next item is, erm, truly out of the yard,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34so to speak, which is this plough.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Yes. I think it's actually not really a plough,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40cos it lacks that big furrowing blade,
0:27:40 > 0:27:45so I've been told by our learned customers it's actually a scuffler.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50But we've put a very modest estimate of £20-£40,
0:27:50 > 0:27:54so let's hope that I've been over-pessimistic there
0:27:54 > 0:27:56and they get a good result on it.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58- Well, £45 is the target.- Yeah.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03Well, they spent up magnificently, they spent £230.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05They've speculated, hopefully, to accumulate,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09and if all goes pear-shaped they've got the bonus buy to fall back on.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- So, Ben and Ian, this is exciting, isn't it?- Very much so.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17You spent 230, which is magnificent.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21You gave Natasha £70, what did you spend it on?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, you gave me £70, I'm always going to come back with change.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26So I didn't spend it all, but I did buy something that you
0:28:26 > 0:28:29hithered and dithered over for quite a while.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Do you remember your Walker & Hall...
0:28:33 > 0:28:38- Knife set.- ..knife set, yes! I'll bet you do. I bet you do.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Are you predicting a good profit with these?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- Well, do you want to know how much I spent?- Go on, then.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Did you get him down fairly well? - I did all right, £15.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- 15 quid!- 15?! Oh, fantastic.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53I think these can't help but make around 35, £40. They're lovely.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Walker & Hall is- THE- name in plate. - That's the name, right.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57And they're lovely,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- they're just a useful, pleasant thing.- Marvellous, that.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- OK, everybody happy then?- Yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06I don't when I've seen such blissfully happy people, actually,
0:29:06 > 0:29:07which is a treat.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10So, well done, Natasha, for that, but for the audience at home,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about the fish eaters.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Right then, Peter, the virgin set.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Well, they're not silver bladed.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23They've got little silver ferrules here, and they're dated 1919.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26I mean, the nice thing about them is that the set's complete
0:29:26 > 0:29:28and they're in very good condition.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Looking at the blades, they've hardly been used, if at all.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- What's the estimate on them?- 20-40.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- OK. - Which, you know, is, erm,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39little money, when you think of what you're buying.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43But I think, because of the condition, someone will go for those.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Well, if you're right at 20 to 40, I tell you,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Natasha will be delighted, because she only paid £15.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Which is rather clever of her.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56We've got the doggy magazine rack.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Ideal for the Radio Times.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00HE CHUCKLES
0:30:00 > 0:30:05Well, yes, well put. 1950s Belgian item.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09It's... It's stylish, you know, a little bit Art Deco in style.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12If you're a doggy person then it's absolutely perfect.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15You can see the old man coming home, he's got his slippers,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- he's got his pipe...- Absolutely.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19..he's got his magazine rack, he's had a hard day,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- commuting back from the office... - Indeed.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25And, you know, if he was to come in here
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and look at our estimate at £20-£40...
0:30:27 > 0:30:28He would think it's cheap at the price.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30..it wouldn't be a bad purchase.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Anyway, £20 was paid by Jill and Andrea,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35so I don't think they overpaid, anyway, which is the main thing.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Indeed.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41What about the retro Bush radio?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I just... I'm not too sure how it will be received.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47It looks the part, perhaps being a retro one it might actually
0:30:47 > 0:30:49have better reception than the old ones,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51so it might actually work better.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53You're on crackling form today!
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Well, you know, 15-£25, is the estimate I've put on it.
0:30:56 > 0:31:02OK, fine. £12 is what was paid, so that's not too bad. No, no.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08Next is the St Bernard silver commemoratives spoon,
0:31:08 > 0:31:09and Fattorini & Sons of Bradford -
0:31:09 > 0:31:12great makers and retailers, weren't they?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16great makers and retailers, they still have a shop in Harrogate
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- with the name Fattorini above it. - Do they?- Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21So, what have you put on it?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24We've put 20-40 on the spoon
0:31:24 > 0:31:26and we're going to keep our fingers crossed for this one.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28I wouldn't want to make it for 20-£40.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- It is a breed that is very popular. - Yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Doggy people are doggy people. They're keen.- They are.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Well, let's hope you can whip a few into shape today.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40If not, they're going to need the bonus buy,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46OK, Jill, Andi, this is your moment.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50£60 is all you spent, £240 went to the great Laidlaw,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52did he spend the lot? Paul?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I might have done. Check this out, this is serious.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59A 400 million-year-old dinosaur egg.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- It looks like mouldy golf ball, doesn't it?- Yeah, it does.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05I've got to be honest with you, it is a mouldy golf ball.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12But, it's a gutty, from its medium, which is gutta percha.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16It's essentially sap from an Asian tree
0:32:16 > 0:32:20and when heated it can be moulded into, in this instance, golf balls -
0:32:20 > 0:32:25a technique invented by a Scots minister in 1840 something or other,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27and it revolutionised golf.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Is it going to make money?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- It depends what I paid for it. - What did you pay for it?
0:32:31 > 0:32:33£200.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34- You're joking!- I am.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- £15.- I was going to say, £200!
0:32:37 > 0:32:39He's in a very jokey mood today, isn't he?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Seriously, I could mould something like that
0:32:41 > 0:32:42out of what we make that work.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- £15.- So how much will it make, Paul?
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Do you know what? They're not overly valuable.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50This one, I suspect, is a £20-£40 piece,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52but that's what we need, a nice little banker.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Are you happy with that?- Mm-hmm.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Do you play golf at all? - No.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58It's a waste of a good walk.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59THEY LAUGH
0:32:59 > 0:33:01We'd rather have the dogs!
0:33:01 > 0:33:04That will be popular with several million people across the country(!)
0:33:04 > 0:33:05Anyway, great.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08On that happy note, why don't we, for the audience at home,
0:33:08 > 0:33:12find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's golf ball?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Right then, Pietro.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18What do you make of that?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22OK. Well, we have had early golf balls in the saleroom
0:33:22 > 0:33:24over the many years I've been here.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28I've put an estimate of 20-40, cos I really...
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I just really don't know how excited golfing people
0:33:30 > 0:33:32are going to be about this golf ball.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34OK. Well, Paul paid £15.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37I don't know what it's worth, maybe £40.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Anyway, interesting.- Yeah. - You're not a player yourself?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42No, I'm not a golfer, no.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- But you're a very good auctioneer. - Of course.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45One of the best.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Excellent, thank you, Peter.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58OK, chaps, bonbon dishes first.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Benjamino, you paid 145 for the bonbon dishes,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02his estimate is 60-80.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Oooh!- Mark you, I think he's a bit tight at that.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08The cylindrical stick stand, on the other hand, he likes very much.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- You paid £40 for that, 40-80 is his guesstimate.- Oh, really?!
0:34:12 > 0:34:15And, you know, the way things are that could make £100 very easily,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18make up any shortfall with the bonbon dishes
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and we'll be back to square one. Until we get to the plough.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23£20-£40, he's put.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26You paid £45. So we'll have to just hope for the best.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Hope for the wind behind it.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I think you need a big field, actually. And a lot of horses.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Anyway, there it is, first up are the bonbon dishes,
0:34:34 > 0:34:36and here they come.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Lot number 202, a little pair of silver pierced bonbon dishes,
0:34:41 > 0:34:42£40 bid, at £40.
0:34:42 > 0:34:4545, 50, five, 60.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Five, 70.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49£65 for a pair.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51We need one more. We need a few more.
0:34:51 > 0:34:5370, 75. £70, then.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55At £70 for the pair of dishes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:5775 on the internet.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Any more?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Dig deep!- I don't believe this.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03£75 for the pair.
0:35:03 > 0:35:09Five off 80. 25, 40, 65... That's minus 70.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- That's quite a body blow, that. - Here we go!
0:35:12 > 0:35:17Lot number 203, the blue and white stick stand.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21I have £30 to start on this lot, at £30, the stick stand.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Five, 40, five, 50.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Five, 60, five.
0:35:26 > 0:35:2770? 75? Yep.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3180? 80, 85.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33£80 front row.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35The lady's bid has it at £80.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Doubled your money.- Here we go. - Get in!
0:35:38 > 0:35:40- Plus £40. Minus 30.- Get in!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Minus 30, but it could be worse.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Here it comes.- The plough.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Lot number 204 is the horse-drawn cultivator.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54And we have bids here starting at £35.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57£35, 40, five.
0:35:57 > 0:35:5950. Five.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0160. £55.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0360, five.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0470, five.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0580, five.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07£85 I'm bid.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11At £85, are we all finished at £85?
0:36:11 > 0:36:1290, internet bidder.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1495, 100.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- £95 on the book. - Look out, he's going on.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22At £95, shaking her head in the balcony,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24being sold at £95...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27- Get in!- That is very good.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Get on, sunshine!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32That is plus 50.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34You were minus 30, you're now plus 20!
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Get in!
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- Oh, you guys, I'm so glad for you! - Marvellous, isn't it?
0:36:38 > 0:36:39You just can't predict anything.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42What are going to do about the fish knives and forks?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- We've got to go with it, it's a good omen, isn't it?- Yes.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Really, really? Great. - You're going to do it?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Definitely.- You don't have to, you know.- It's a good omen.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Anyway, here they come, here come the fish eaters.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Lot number 208 is the case set or half dozen fish eaters,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Walker & Hall, 1919.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Can I have £15 bid to start?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04At £15. At £15, 20.
0:37:04 > 0:37:0625, 30.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0835, 40.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11Commission bid at £35, on the book at £35,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14being sold at £35 for the set.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Yes!- And that's plus £20, look at that.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- So, overall, you're plus 40, OK? - Not bad for a day out.- That will do!
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Listen, that is absolutely marvellous,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- were it not for the bonbon dishes, I tell you.- Rub it in!
0:37:27 > 0:37:31No, no, no, I'm not rubbing it in, but to recover from that body blow
0:37:31 > 0:37:34and come back with £40 profit is pretty good.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Very well done.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Now, Jill, Andi, how are you feeling?- Fantastic.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Are you feeling confident?- Very.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49What are you most confident about?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- I think we're confident about the... - The magazine rack.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55You like that. Well, £20-£40 he's put on that.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56- That's good.- You paid 20.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Could do better than that, quite frankly.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Then you've got the Bush radio, which is retro looking.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04It's a modern radio, isn't it?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06But it's got the old style.
0:38:06 > 0:38:0915-£25 he's put on that, you paid £12.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- Then you've got the St Bernard... - That's sweet, isn't it?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15..Dog Club spoon. £28 you paid,
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- he's put 20-40.- Right.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20And as you only paid £60 in total, you girls,
0:38:20 > 0:38:22you can't expect the world, can you?
0:38:22 > 0:38:24Well, I don't know, I think we'll do OK.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- You think you'll do OK. - Yeah, yeah.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29Anyway, first up is the magazine rack, and here it comes.
0:38:29 > 0:38:35Lot 224, the Belgian 1950s magazine rack this time.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36£15 to start me for it.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39At £15. At 20 I'm bid.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42At 25, at 30. At £30 on my right now.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05Minus £13, that is.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Which means, over all, you are plus 10, girls,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- so there's nothing the matter with that.- You're up!- That's brilliant.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13It is better than having the minus sign.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- We loved the spoon and that's the one that let us down.- Who knew?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Strange. Very strange, that, actually, but there we go.

0:40:23 > 0:40:25- What a team.- Good job, folks, good job.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27Hang on, girls, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?

0:40:30 > 0:40:32- £15 for the golf ball, going to do it?- Yeah.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34Decision's made. Now that you've decided
0:40:34 > 0:40:37I can tell you what the auctioneer's estimate is,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- which is £20-£40.- Fantastic.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42So he's predicting the money, so let's go for it.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48£15 for it, a collectable for a golfer at £15.

0:40:56 > 0:40:58Don't let us down now!
0:40:58 > 0:41:00It's got to wipe its face, hasn't it?

0:41:04 > 0:41:06- £15.- We tried!
0:41:06 > 0:41:09That was a hole-in-one, wasn't it?
0:41:09 > 0:41:11That's what they call a birdie.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13That's what you paid for it, isn't it?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- Yes. Is that us broken even? - Yeah, broken even.- Yes, fair enough.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- No profit, no loss, doesn't matter. - We took a punt.- Worth a try.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20You took a punt, all right.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Straight in the rough!
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Well, there we go. - It was worth a try.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26You are still plus £10, all right?
0:41:26 > 0:41:27£10 is a very respectable score.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30To make any sort of profit is brilliant on this programme.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32Just don't say a word to the Reds.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35- Not at all.- We'll reveal all in a moment, thank you very much.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43How lovely is this? Both teams going home with cash.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45But how much will go each way?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48And the ones that are marginally behind, I'm afraid to say,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50are the Blues.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53THE BLUES GROAN THE REDS CHEER
0:41:53 > 0:41:55Well done, guys!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Boys will be boys!
0:41:57 > 0:42:00£10 profit on the magazine rack, that was very nice.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04£13 profit on your radio set, that was very nice.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Not so good on the St Bernard, and nothing at all on the golf ball
0:42:08 > 0:42:11means, girls, you're going home with a £10 note.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Wow! So we get something!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15You certainly do!
0:42:15 > 0:42:18To make any sort of profit on this programme is an achievement,
0:42:18 > 0:42:20so you've done very, very well, girls.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- This'll go on a dog charity. - A dog charity, good for you.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25And you have been great fun, too.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Any time I want my dogs looking after, I'm down your place.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Anyway, thanks so much, girls, it's been great.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- Well, chaps, didn't start out very well, did it?- No.- No!
0:42:34 > 0:42:39But what's so fun is that, from those not very good beginnings
0:42:39 > 0:42:42you make £40 out of that old stick stand,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45£50 out of the plough!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47How did that ever happen?!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50And then the fish knives and forks,
0:42:50 > 0:42:52which I promise you nobody wants normally,
0:42:52 > 0:42:54she makes £20 of bonus buy profit out of them.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- She knows what she's talking about. - She's clearly a genius.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Anyway, £20 plus £20 is £40.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02£40 is your winnings today, chaps,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05- and there's nothing to complain about there, right?- Not at all.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08- Have you had a good time?- Very good. - We've had a great time.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10In fact, so great, why don't you join us soon
0:43:10 > 0:43:12for some more bargain-hunting, yes?
0:43:12 > 0:43:14ALL: Yes!
