0:00:08 > 0:00:11The dealers here at the Lincolnshire Showground
0:00:11 > 0:00:14sure do know something about buying and selling.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18But the big question is today, what do our teams know?
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50We're at the Lincolnshire Antiques and Home Fair today with our teams,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54armed with £300 and an hour to shop,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58to find three objects to sell on later at auction.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00But which team will come up trumps?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Stay tuned to find out!
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'It's all in the air for the Reds today...'
0:01:07 > 0:01:11The Red Arrows! It's the first time that I've seen them!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13'..whilst the Blues get carried away.'
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Forward!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'So let's meet today's teams.'
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Well, on today's programme,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25we've got two pairs of happily married couples -
0:01:25 > 0:01:29Danny and Jane for the Reds and Alan and Dot for the Blues.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello! - Hello. Lovely.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Now, Jane, tell me, how did you meet your hairy Scotsman?
0:01:36 > 0:01:39We met 11 years ago when I was in the Territorial Army
0:01:39 > 0:01:45- and Danny was in the army, at a cadet camp in Scotland.- Right.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49He serenaded me with his bagpipes and the rest is history.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- But your love of bagpipes, Danny, has gone a bit further, hasn't it? - It has.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59I collect bagpipes. Since my father bought me my first set when I was ten
0:01:59 > 0:02:02for the sumly price of £15,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I have since built on that by 104 sets.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- I've got 105 sets in total. - Have you really?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Are there such things as Lincolnshire pipes to buy?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15I should imagine there's probably a district bagpipe here,
0:02:15 > 0:02:21- but I can't imagine Jane allowing me to buy bagpipes today.- No, quite.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Bagpipes are off the recipe today. - Yes.- OK, fine.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Very good. Good luck.- Thank you.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Now, Alan, you two had a holiday romance.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32We did. We went to Butlins, separately,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and we met there and continued seeing each other!
0:02:35 > 0:02:38You're now retired. You do a bit of sport, do you?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I play golf. I love golf. Absolutely adore it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Days like today, although this is great,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- I like to be on the golf course. - Yes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- I also play racquet ball, which is similar to squash.- Right.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Bit of a lethal game, I remember.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- Maybe not the way I play it!- I see! Very fast, though, isn't it?- It is.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59What about your love of bargain hunting? You like a bit of that.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I do! I like going to auctions. I like going to car-boot sales.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07I like buying cabinets and older furniture.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I like to buy a bit of jewellery now and again, pottery, you know...
0:03:11 > 0:03:17Gosh! I would say that she is quite experienced quietly, lads!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I'm going to give you £300 to fuel your punting.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Very, very, very good luck.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Ooh, I like a punt myself.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35'Anita Manning will be in the driving seat for the Reds...'
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Vroom-vroom! Vroom-vroom!
0:03:38 > 0:03:39Agh!
0:03:39 > 0:03:44'..while Charlie Ross will provide the pedal power for the Blues.'
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- WHISTLE BLOWS - 'They're off.'
0:03:46 > 0:03:49'So, what's on the wish-list today?'
0:03:49 > 0:03:51A little bit of silver.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54It might have a little bit of bling on it.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58What about yourself? Do you want a man's-man thing?
0:03:58 > 0:03:59No!
0:03:59 > 0:04:01You see, that threw you!
0:04:01 > 0:04:07- Jane loves collecting pigs and I'd like to get an animal of some description.- Sounds great!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11Big, heavy wood or metal, bronze, anything that's really...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- What's he on? Big and heavy? - Not big and heavy!
0:04:13 > 0:04:17A-ha! I've got just the thing to help you, big and heavy!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- How about that? - I think we might need it!
0:04:21 > 0:04:22BELL RINGS
0:04:22 > 0:04:26It's a pathetic bell, but that would really work!
0:04:26 > 0:04:30# Clang, clang, clang Went the trolley
0:04:30 > 0:04:33# Ding, ding, ding went the bell
0:04:33 > 0:04:36# Zing, zing, zing Went my heartstrings #
0:04:36 > 0:04:39That is the most amazing sight, The Red Arrows.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It's the first time that I've seen them!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Have you never seen them live? - Never seen them live. - Absolutely spectacular, aren't they?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- How do they not bump into one other? - That's precision flying.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I think that's what they call it.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- It's enough to take your mind off a bargain.- Oh, no!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Not when we're on the clock. - Not when we're on the clock!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01OK, guys, have a wee look here.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Look at the little amulet. - Charm bracelet.- Yes.- Quite glittery.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Sterling silver.- Sterling silver. How much is that?- 120.- Uh-huh.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13These things are quite dear. They've taken a wee jump, haven't they?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16The price of silver has gone up so it's pulled up this type of thing.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19That is nice, though, and they are collectable.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Are all the charms sterling silver? - I'm pretty sure they are.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Now, these were very fashionable in the '60s and '70s.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30They went out of fashion because all these things get caught on your clothes,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32so they went out of fashion.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35They are coming back a wee bit now.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41Now, you'll have some which have moveable parts, and I think we have one here.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46You've got a wee teapot, perfect for a nice wee cup of tea!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Thruppeny, a silver thruppeny.- Yes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53- My granny put them in her dumplings. - We used to have them in Christmas puddings.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56The thruppeny bits I've swallowed is ridiculous!
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- It's the silver bit that I wanted. - The weight's important in that.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04We've got about 30 and there's a good weight to them.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- How much is it?- 85 I'll do it for.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- Sorry, how much is it? - £85 I'll do it for.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Sorry, was that 80 did you say?!
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- To give you a running chance, £80. - Are you happy?- Yes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Oh, look! You're especially happy! - It's the silver.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25She wanted something shiny and glittery!
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- Well done. I think that's a good buy at £80.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33'So the Reds have made their first purchase in no time at all.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37'It looks like things are taking off for them.'
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- I like the carts.- Aren't they fun?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- I think they've got something - - Are they reproduction or are they old?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- They look old, don't they? - Excuse me, sir!
0:06:45 > 0:06:47We're admiring your cart.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Really?- We think it's lovely. Well, no, no, we think it's horrible,
0:06:50 > 0:06:54but we'd just like to talk to you about it!
0:06:54 > 0:07:00- What date is it? 1910? 1920?- 1920s. - Yes?- Something like that.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- It's from Germany. - Oh, it's from Germany.- East Germany.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06In the hills, they do the groceries, take their kids to school.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Fancy taking your kids to school in that, Dot!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Wouldn't that be fun? - I think it's quirky.- Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18Someone's going to buy that and stick it on their patio with plants on it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- ALL: How much?- 100.- Oh!
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- Not silly.- Any better? - He's gone in a little high.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26We'll have a walk round, but how much really?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I'll knock a tenner off. - I think you'll probably see us later.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- No problem.- Thank you very much. - Enjoy the weather.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36'OK, something to think about maybe, Blues,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40'but don't leave it too long, they may get snapped up.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44'Now, Anita has found a collection of farm animals.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47'What she should look for is a maker called Britains.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50'They invented the process of hollow casting in lead.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52'They're very collectable.'
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- You've got two wee piglets there. - Oh, right.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59You've got a big pink pig and a wee black pig
0:07:59 > 0:08:02and there'll be some Britains in there.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05The condition is not the best,
0:08:05 > 0:08:07but they've been played with.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Played-with condition. - They've been loved and played with.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think it's lovely.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Now, if you fancied these,
0:08:15 > 0:08:20the dealer had said that he could let them go for a tenner.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Mainly because I've forgotten what I paid for them.- I'm not sure.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- It's up to you.- You're not sure? - Although it's got piggies...
0:08:27 > 0:08:30They're a good buy for a tenner because they're Britains.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- What sort of date would you put these at?- I'd probably say they're 1930s.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Right, so they've been hanging about for a long while.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39We could always come back, couldn't we?
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Could you hold onto them, please? - Sure.
0:08:41 > 0:08:47We'll have to wait another wee while to see if these little piggies will go to market!
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- Oh, dear!- We'll try.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51'Oink-oink!
0:08:51 > 0:08:54'Let's get a move on, Reds. That's 20 minutes gone.'
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Ah! THEY LAUGH
0:08:59 > 0:09:02A yard of ale. Have you ever drunk a yard of ale?
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- I haven't.- I have.- Have you?- Mm.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09It's quite a skilful thing, drinking a yard of ale.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It takes two and a half pints of beer,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14and you start, and the real problem is going like that,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17and then you twist it while you're drinking it
0:09:17 > 0:09:21because at one moment, when it gets above about that level,
0:09:21 > 0:09:24you get a bubble and it goes... and you cover yourself!
0:09:24 > 0:09:30- And you can't drink any more! - And if you don't do it properly, you have to drink another one, so...
0:09:30 > 0:09:36And there are people that can do this in a matter of seconds, rather than minutes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38They're obviously not as refined as you are!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41No, no! I like to enjoy my beer!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Can we ask how much this is? - What's the best price?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- It's a Whitefriars one. - It is.- How do you know that, sir?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It came with a ticket.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Hold onto that. "This is a genuine English Yard of Ale glass.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59"It has been mouth blown and hand made
0:09:59 > 0:10:03"by the craftsmen glassblowers of Whitefriars.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07"Whitefriars Glass Limited. Tudor Road, Wealdstone, Middlesex, England."
0:10:07 > 0:10:12- What's the best on that one? - I used to frequent the factory. - Right.- I used to sell a lot.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I'll take 25 on it. That's my very best.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- What do you think, Charlie? - I think it's wacky, it's fun,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22you see less and less of them because they don't seem to be making them.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25There won't be another one in the sale.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27And 25 in an auction would be...?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- I think it's touch and go. - Yes. 25, 35.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34If you're going in the auction, I'll do it for 20,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36which will give you a nice, you know...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- This man...!- You are a nice man. - He is butter in your hands.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Are you buying it?- Yes! - THEY LAUGH
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- Beautiful!- Oh!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49He had you hook, line and sinker there, didn't he?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53All he did was hold out his hand and I'm afraid that's the deal!
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Just as I said he was a nice man...!
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- I think, to save our honour, we've got to buy it now.- Absolutely.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Well done, sir.- Well done. - Well done.- Thank you.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Dot, mwah!
0:11:05 > 0:11:08'Still yards from the finishing line,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11'but that's the first purchase made for the Blues.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15'And it would seem those Reds are still on a hunt for an animal.'
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- That's quite nice, isn't it?- Mm.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Is it bronze?- That's a nice thing.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26It's a stag being hunted down by the hounds.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- That is a nice thing.- Excuse me.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- How much is your...?- It's £175.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- That's lovely.- It's a little bronze and it's beautifully cast.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41We have a stag here. It's being chased by three hounds.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44There is no signature. It's maybe Continental.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48It's probably late 19th century, so it's got good age, as well.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51It is a very, very nice thing.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53A wee bit unusual.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55The subject matter is good. People like dogs,
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- they like hunting scenes, so you're appealing to a lot of buyers.- Yes.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02You've got a nice thing, but it's a lot of money.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- What's about the best you can do? - £150.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12- You are not going to get something good for nothing.- BOTH: Yes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17You can go for the little Britains animals at £10
0:12:17 > 0:12:22and you almost certainly will make a little profit on that, not a lot,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25on this thing here, you've got something of quality,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and nice things always have a chance.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32In today's market, people want something that's good, something with a bit of quality.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34OK.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Can we take it for 150? Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43'That's another item in the Reds' shopping bag.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46'It's 2-1 up to them.'
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Charlie, what do you think to this?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Ooh! Dot, what have you found?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Oh! It's gold, isn't it?- Yes. - Nine-carat gold.
0:12:54 > 0:12:59- What's that set with?- She's not sure. She's not sure about what it is.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- It's not a sapphire, is it? - It's not a sapphire.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We'd like it to be a sapphire. What's that set with?
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- I'd like to say - - I thought it was a sapphire,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- but I've got a lot of doubts.- Yes. - I'm not sure.- No.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- We need a jeweller to tell us. - That's right.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I guess, because it's nine-carat gold, it must be some sort of stone.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Blue topaz, possibly?- Possibly.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I like the way it's cut, and it's clear,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26but unless we can identify the stone...
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- I mean, you've got... - Not a lot of weight in there.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32You've got 20 quid's worth of gold in there, for a start.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36It depends how much it cost. I think it'll make £25.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38What I'll do again for you,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I'll knock it down to £20, yes,
0:13:42 > 0:13:46which will still give you an opportunity to earn some money on it.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47It's a fantastic price.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Anything gold for £20 is unbelievably good.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54You're not going to make 60, 70 pounds,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57but you can't lose money on that.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Go on, then, go and buy it. - I'll go have that. Thank you.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- For £20...- We're going to buy it because we think it's fantastic.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - I hope you do well.- Thank you.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - She's giving her a kiss!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14THEY LAUGH Brilliant.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18'Well done, Blues. That's your second item bought.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23'Now, our bonnie lass Anita seems to have lost her team.'
0:14:23 > 0:14:25TRADITIONAL BAGPIPE MUSIC
0:14:25 > 0:14:28'So, where's that music coming from, Anita?'
0:14:28 > 0:14:30That way.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38'The pipes have put a spring in her step all right!'
0:14:38 > 0:14:40Ahh!
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Ahh!
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- That was wonderful! - Thank you very much.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Are you ready for some bargain hunting?- We certainly are.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Let's go.- Let's go.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06'Come on, Reds, stop larking around with things that you're not going to buy.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08'Just 20 minutes to go.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13'Meanwhile, the Blues are reminded of something they saw earlier.'
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Blimey! There's a man with your cart! - I want one.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18It's my cart. I'm sure that's my cart. I want it.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21- You want to buy something like that? - I think it's quirky.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24And 100 quid's not a lot of money. Did he say 100?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- Did he come down to 90?- He did.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29'So decision made.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32'The Blues are going back for the cart.'
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Now, here's an interesting wee thing here.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's a little Mauchline thimble holder.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43- I like that.- And we've got a silver Charles Horner thimble, as well,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- which is...- I like the case, as well. - Where's the dealer?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50I wonder if we could see this one out here, please?
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- The box is lovely, as well. - It's a thimble.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57- Charles Horner.- Yes.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- Thank you.- Now, Mauchline ware was made in a wee Ayrshire village called Mauchline.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07It made little boxes and sewing implements and snuff boxes
0:16:07 > 0:16:09over a period of 70, 80 years,
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- and everybody in the village made Mauchline.- Were involved in it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18They're highly collectable. They were exported all over the world.
0:16:18 > 0:16:23The most collectable Mauchline ware is what we call the tartanware
0:16:23 > 0:16:25and this is a piece of tartanware.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It's Macfarlane tartan,
0:16:28 > 0:16:30so we've got kind of a Scottish theme here,
0:16:30 > 0:16:34and we have a silver thimble, as well.
0:16:34 > 0:16:41The dealer has identified it as a Charles Horner,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Chester, 1909.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47So you've got two good elements there.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50What's the bestest price you could do that for?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I can do a little bit. I can do 65.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55A wee bit of damage on the...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58I know, yes. The hinge is also a little bit wobbly.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- But it's a nice thing. - Will that make a big difference?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Well, you always like to have something that's perfect.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08It's the joining of Scotland and England, isn't it?
0:17:08 > 0:17:09- Chester...- That's right!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12He's a romantic, is he?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Sometimes!- Thank you!
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I bought you flowers once.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Yes. He made me a tune, a bagpipe tune.- Oh, right.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Did you?- I have, yes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I think that's a lovely thing to happen, to inspire someone.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I've inspired a couple of musicians myself in my time.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Oh, yes? - SHE CHUCKLES
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- Is that something you want to elaborate on?- No!
0:17:35 > 0:17:37'I don't think we need to know, Anita!'
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- How much did you say it was, sir? - 65, sir.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43We need to get it for a trifle cheaper.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47It's so that they can leave me some money for my bonus buy!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I can do another fiver, that's it. 60 quid.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What do you think?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55I'd be happy to be left...
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- What does that leave me, a tenner? - Mm.- That's fine!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01- £60. Thank you very much indeed, sir.- Thank you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Have you anything nice for a tenner?!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09'Congratulations, Reds. That's all three items bought.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13'Now, can the Blues do a deal on the cart?'
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- £100 seems a lot. - It does. Well, to a Yorkshireman, £100 would seem a lot!
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It is. It is. But I think it's so quirky
0:18:22 > 0:18:24and there's unlikely to be another at the auction.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- Unless this man puts all these in our auction... - Don't tell him where it is!
0:18:29 > 0:18:31The other thing is, landscapers,
0:18:31 > 0:18:36the people who have great gardens and stuff, I think it would go well for that.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38If he's prepared to come down...
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Can we squeeze you, without being too rude?- We've got to make money.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I can knock a tenner off. It's all trade prices.- I'm sure it is, yes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49But a tenner's... Any bit helps.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I actually think it will look great
0:18:52 > 0:18:57with one of those wicker basket things thrown in!
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Buy one, get one free!
0:19:00 > 0:19:03'Great wheeler-dealing, Alan.'
0:19:03 > 0:19:05- I'll see if there's one that will fit.- Oh!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08The style of this man! No wonder you've been married for 43 years!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I wouldn't let him go if I were you!
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Oh, isn't that wonderful?- Make it 90 and I'll do a deal, with the basket.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- £90 with the basket. - What do you think, Dot?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- I think we should go for it. - Shall we let him have it?- Yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- It's big... - I've spent £20, you've spent £20,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- he's spending £90. - Shall we take that?- BOTH: Yes.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- May we?- That's really kind. - That's a deal.- ALL: Thank you.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Thank you. That's really kind.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Right, Dot, come on, get in!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40We're going to take you for a ride.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Hold my hand, Dot, and I'll lead you to paradise.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46It's so strong, sir!
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I'm not referring to Dot, of course, when I say that!
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- I'm just saying, it's a beautifully constructed thing!- OK, I'm ready!
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Off you go! Forward!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00'Now, all seems to be rolling along well for the Blues,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03'but the stallholder is about to put a spoke in the cart wheel.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08'Unbeknown to him, his colleague has already sold it.'
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Whoa! Stop!
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Sorry, that one's sold.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Sold?- This one is sold, yes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- But we've just bought it. - It was already sold.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I'm really sorry.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Let's go look at the other carts. - DOT GROANS
0:20:22 > 0:20:25SHE LAUGHS Come on, Dot!
0:20:25 > 0:20:30I'm really sorry. There's a few of us selling it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Have you got any others? - I've got several.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- That's the one we like! - These are nice, as well.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- We've got some big ones, small ones. - There's one with a basket in it.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42They look really good with a basket in.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44I do think it's slightly smaller.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- It hasn't got the colour, so... - Do you want it a bit less?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51We do, really, because we fell in love with that.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Do you know what I liked about the other one? The colour.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I'll make it, er, 80 quid.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Hm...- 75?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Go on, then, make it 75 quid.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- Thanks.- Thank you.- I've never bought something that's been sold already.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10'Finally, the Blues settle on their last purchase
0:21:10 > 0:21:14'and I can confirm that that's their three items bought.'
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Time's caught up with us again. Let's see what treasures the Red Team have found.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22'They were charmed by this silver charm bracelet,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25'which set them back £80.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29'The small bronze of an animal group cost them £150.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33'And, finally, they picked up the Mauchline thimble box and thimble
0:21:33 > 0:21:37'for a pin-pricking £60.'
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Now, how canny is it for you lot of, well, mainly a lot of Scots
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- to be spending all this money? - Ridiculous.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46It's ridiculous, isn't it? I think it's rather wonderful.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48- You spent all bar what?- £10.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- May I have the £10?- You can, sir. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- I know, Anita, you've had a fab time. - It's been absolutely wonderful!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Also, you're terribly clever at finding things for £10.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01That's right, give me a pound and I'll get something!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Good luck with that. Lovely team. Lovely day.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Now, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10'A Whitefriars-glass yard of ale
0:22:10 > 0:22:14'for the pint-sized price of £20.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17'They're pinning their hopes on the yellow metal bar brooch,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20'also picked up for £20.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23'And, finally, for the sum of £75,
0:22:23 > 0:22:27'they bought a 19th-century Eastern European wooden cart.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28'Low mileage.'
0:22:28 > 0:22:32- Tell me, team, how much did you spend?- £115.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36£115. I'd like £185 of leftover lolly, please.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Thank you. That's a great wodge, isn't it?- Yes.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Only a miserable £115.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Which is your favourite piece, Dotty?- I like the cart.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Unusually, because that's usually Alan's thing, the heavy carts...
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Wheels and wood.- ..man's stuff, but I like that the best.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Do you? Good. Do you agree with that, Al?
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Yes.- You do. With the cart?
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Absolutely. I think it's brilliant. - Super. That's great.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- You've clearly had the most wonderful time, Charles.- Glorious!
0:23:06 > 0:23:09What's been the best bit of the shopping for you?
0:23:09 > 0:23:14- Buying the yard-of-ale glass.- Really? - Because I've now got loads of cash to spend on beer.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18- Does that mean you're going to practise your swallowing skills? - Yes!
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, don't get too engorged, old fruit, all right?
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Anyway, have a great time finding the bonus buy. Good luck with that, Charles.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Meanwhile, I'm going to show you something metallic
0:23:28 > 0:23:32that's going to have you positively gripped by the ankles.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42These are unusual, aren't they? Where do you think they come from?
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, try deepest Africa,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47because once upon a time,
0:23:47 > 0:23:51this was the ankle bracelet for an native woman.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54She'd be young, she'd be attractive,
0:23:54 > 0:23:58she'd be one of the 12 wives of some African chief,
0:23:58 > 0:24:03and as a special token of his regard for her
0:24:03 > 0:24:06and to make sure she couldn't run away too quickly,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08this hoop of metal
0:24:08 > 0:24:11would've been applied around her ankle
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and there she would've been for the rest of her life,
0:24:14 > 0:24:18with this thumping great lump of metal hanging onto her.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Actually, this is an extremely decorative object,
0:24:21 > 0:24:27because if you look, it's been cast with an incredible amount of detail
0:24:27 > 0:24:33and what I like about this one is the extreme amount of wear that you can detect.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Here we start off with some beading, look, that's quite proud,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39but as you turn the ring around,
0:24:39 > 0:24:44where there's been wear, it's been worn absolutely smooth.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47This has been on a girl's leg, I reckon,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49for at least 50 or 60 years.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54And around the detail in the top here, it's all black.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57What's that? It's sweat and skin.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00There is a sort of emotional bond
0:25:00 > 0:25:04that you can detect in this piece of jewellery.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Date-wise,
0:25:05 > 0:25:11anything as early as 1850 to 1900 for this one
0:25:11 > 0:25:13and perhaps just a little later for this
0:25:13 > 0:25:15because it's got less wear.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18But the really intriguing thing is
0:25:18 > 0:25:22that somebody has had the sense and practical application
0:25:22 > 0:25:26to take these old African ankle bracelets
0:25:26 > 0:25:28and make them into something else,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31because they've had a plate of brass beaten out,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34to form a liner to fit inside,
0:25:34 > 0:25:38so that you can use them perhaps on a dining table.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43Now, I just so happen to have a bottle of plonk with me.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Shove it into the middle of the bracelet,
0:25:46 > 0:25:51with that liner, it's converted the thing into a supremely practical object,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53which is a wine coaster.
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Once you've consumed your first or second bottle of this red stuff,
0:25:58 > 0:26:01you could weave quite an interesting story
0:26:01 > 0:26:05about the girls that once were wearing the ankle bracelets
0:26:05 > 0:26:08that you've just had your wine off of.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11What does a bottle of plonk cost you? Five to ten pounds?
0:26:11 > 0:26:18Well, each of these bracelets could be yours, in a fair, for £15 apiece.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Now that's what you call a good vintage.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Today we're in Grantham with auctioneer Colin Young,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41at Golding Young & Mawer Saleroom.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Hello.- Hello, Tim. - How nice to see you.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47First up for the Reds is the charm bracelet.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49How charming do you find this?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52They don't do a lot for me.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54They're all very personalised. Somebody's built them up.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59So the next person down the line, are they going to share the same memories and thoughts?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- They are silver largely, aren't they?- They are.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- So putting a commercial hat on... - Yes.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08..you could snip each of those off and put it in a little plastic bag
0:27:08 > 0:27:11and sell it on for a five or eight-pound-note, yes?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14You could do that if you were retailing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17So there's 30 of them, how much do you reckon?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20We've put an estimate on this lot of £30 to £50.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- That's a tempter, isn't it? - It should bring them in. - That's encouraging.- Good.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Then the animalia group, which, once upon a time,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30I think was up a bit, don't you, on some sort of plinth?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Yes. It does look a bit strange on its own,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- for that reason!- It just falls over.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41OK. What's your biggest and best estimate on that, Colin?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44My biggest and best estimate is £40 to £60.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Really? £150 paid.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Still, it ain't over till the hammer falls.- No.- No.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Lastly for Anita, her Mauchline tartanware thimble case.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Yes.- We're just a long way from Scotland.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01I'm sure it'll end up going back that direction. Plenty of collectors from across the border.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I think the main bids are going to come from the internet.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- What's your estimate?- 25 to 40.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09£60 paid.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12There's a couple of torpedoes there.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Danny, Jane, this is exciting.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21You spent so much cash, which is brilliant,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23you only gave Anita £10 leftover.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- But Anita likes a challenge! - Of course I do!
0:28:26 > 0:28:29So, what did you get?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- BOTH: Ooh!- A little bit of silver.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It's a little nail buffer.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Because Jane and I like a bit of nail action,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I thought this might be quite suitable for us.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46It's silver, it's Birmingham 1912,
0:28:46 > 0:28:51and it would've been part of a set, a manicure set at one point,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55but this has obviously been separated, but still very functional.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- Do you want to have a try? - Oh, yes. I quite like that.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03So I paid £10 for it, so we have spent all of our money.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- All of the £10?- All of the £10.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Because it's hallmarked, because it's functional,
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- we could make five or six pounds! - That's lovely. Thank you very much.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- We would use it, wouldn't we?- Yes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Danny, do you buff up your nails much? Are you a nail buffer?
0:29:18 > 0:29:23My mother always said that when people are watching pipers play, they're watching their hands
0:29:23 > 0:29:27and if your nails are clean, people will appreciate that.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Lovely.- So, yes, I would use that. - You would.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33You choose after the sale of the first three items.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35But for the audience at home,
0:29:35 > 0:29:39let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little buffer.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43OK, Colin, there's a little buffer for you.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46What's happened to the handle?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- It's been squashed! - It has a bit, hasn't it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:54It's either been used an awful lot or somebody's sat on it, I'm not sure which, but there we go.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- Out of a dressing table set. - It is, yes.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Normally, you wouldn't put this as a separate lot on its own,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03you'd expect it to be part of other trinket items in a sale.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07But nevertheless, I've put a bold estimate of 10 to 30 on it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09I think she's done well.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13She only had £10 of leftover lolly, blew the lot on this
0:30:13 > 0:30:17and if her £10 investment brings £30, it'll be marvellous.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- What a mixture we've got here! The yard of ale...- Yes.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Have you ever done this?- Yes. - How did you get on?- Badly!
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- But I didn't go back and try again to prove I could do it.- No, quite.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35I think it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience you don't want again.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38That one looks brand Harry Spankers to me.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Yes, not very old. Whitefriars produced quite a few of these.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44We do get an awful lot of these
0:30:44 > 0:30:48because people buy them, never use them and then put them in sales.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Or use them once and then put them in the sale.- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:30:51 > 0:30:56- How much?- £10 to £30. - £20 paid. That's all right.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59The yellow metal bar brooch... Bit of a miserable little thing.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Yes. It's very pretty in its own way.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07It is wearable, so there'll be a few people interested in it.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- How much? - I think it's going to be 25 to 40.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12That's the usual estimate we'd put on these bar brooches.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15OK, well, £20 paid, so they're going to be all right.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Lastly is the cart.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Mm. There's quite a few holes in it. - Ah, yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- So, small friends have been gnawing away, have they?- Yes, I think so.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28It's a cute-looking little vehicle, I have to say.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I like the iron wheels,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- you know, the whole kind of process is nice, isn't it?- Yes.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38But what do you do with it? It's not as if it's polished or brightly painted.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43I've just gone down the lines of putting an estimate of 10 to 30,
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- on the basis that it's got to be worth £10 of anybody's money.- Yes.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50But I think people are going to struggle to want to spend any more.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- £10 to £30?- Yes.- £75 paid.- Ooh!
0:31:54 > 0:31:57They're going to need their bonus buy for a dead cert,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Now, Dot, Alan, you spent £115.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07£185 went to Carlos.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09I'm going to take the rag off and see what you bought.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- There.- Ooh, that's nice!
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Why don't you have one of those each? - That's a good idea.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Be a bit careful with that one.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Now, we are in Italy here
0:32:19 > 0:32:22and we're in the early 20th century in a place called Sorrento,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26where they made allsorts of ornamental work, largely for export.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30You can see this intricate inlay work on this desk stand,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34which I believe has still got its original glass inkwells,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36in so much that they fit perfectly.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38You can see, er,
0:32:38 > 0:32:42a little compartment there for your stamps.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46And there's always a scene in Sorrento ware,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49but I just thought it was visually a nice thing.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53You've got two bookends to go with to make it a suite.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It cost £75.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00I was quite happy to buy this. I've bought a lot of Sorrento ware.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Certainly, if there are Italians in the room or on the net,
0:33:03 > 0:33:06this will go back to Sorrento and do well.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11- Mm. It's got an initial on it, hasn't it? It's got a "R".- Yes.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- "Ross"!- Ross! - THEY LAUGH
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Roscoe!
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- Yes!- Not "rubbish"?
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- No!- How dare you?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Age?- About 1910.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26OK.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- What do you think, Alan?- I like it. - Erm, cautious.- Are you?- Yes.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- I like it, though.- It's probably not heavy enough for me!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Do you want to hold this one? - Well, I don't know.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- The cut-out lions are rather fun, aren't they?- Yes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45I mean, it's not a standard kind of job.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48I would say, all round, a bit better than the average.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I think it could be a bit special.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- I like it, Charlie. - I'm warming to it.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57I've got one of you on my side! It's going to be quite fun on the day, isn't it?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Later on, you'll be able to decide.
0:33:59 > 0:34:04But let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks about the Sorrento ware.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Right, Colin, there's a little challenge for you.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Right! It is a bit of a challenge. Unusual object, isn't it?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14And then to have it with these bookends,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17which aren't too bad, if you happen to be called Ronald.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20It all matches in. It's quite a puzzling one, really.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Sorrento ware is really popular,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25but it does tend to be quite defined in its style.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28This has just got an unusual combination of timbers, hasn't it?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31The quality does vary dramatically on this stuff.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33I would class this as good middle of the road.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38- On that basis, maybe a 50 to 80 estimate.- OK. £75 paid by Charlie.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41- Knowing his luck, it could do quite well.- Yes.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Are you on the rostrum today? - I am indeed.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46We're in safe hands!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Now, Janey, Danny, how are you feeling?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02- Nervous.- Are you as confident as you were earlier?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Yes.- You are?- Yes.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05No.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Really?- This is where we differ. - This is where you differ?- Yes.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- It's difficult, isn't it?- Yes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- If all else fails, you've got the old buffer to fall back on.- We do!
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Anyway, the first lot up is your charm bracelet.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Let's see how charming this actually is.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23OK, lot number 94 is a silver charm bracelet.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Who's going to start me at 30? 30 bid. Now making it two.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Two bid. Five. 38 bid. 40 bid. 42.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3242. 45. 45. 48 bid 50. 50 bid.
0:35:32 > 0:35:3555. 60. 60 bid. 65 bid. 70.
0:35:35 > 0:35:3870 bid. 70 bid. £70. And five. 80, may I say?
0:35:38 > 0:35:4275. Make it 80 if it helps. 78 bid. 80 now, may I say?
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- Bit of a flash on the screen. Is it a bid coming in? 80 bid.- Yes!
0:35:46 > 0:35:4882? No. At £80 bid.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50It's on the net, then. Done and finished, going at £80.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- Is that all? £80. - It's a good result.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- A good result in relation to his estimate.- Good.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Wiped its face. Now, here comes the bronze group.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03The bronze animalia group. Start me at £80 for it.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0680. 50 to go, then, surely? 50. Look at the quality.
0:36:06 > 0:36:1030. Come on, ladies and gentlemen, £20 for it. 20.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1420 there. 20 bid. Two anywhere else?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16At £20 bid. Two now, do I see?
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- 22.- 22...!- 25.- Ooh!- 28. 30.
0:36:18 > 0:36:2230 bid. 32 now. At 30 bid. That was short-lived excitement.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25At 30 bid. Two now, may I say? Good quality bronze.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26At 30 bid. 32.
0:36:26 > 0:36:32- 35. Keep going, please.- Please! - He's trying.- At 32.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34I'm sure you'll go 33.
0:36:34 > 0:36:3833. 34. 35. 35.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41At 34, in the room, then, selling at £34.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- That is minus £116.- Cool. - That's a big old loss.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Lot number 96 is a very nice Mauchline-ware tartan thimble box.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54You also get the thimble to go with it, which is a Charles Horner piece.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Start me at 40 for it. 40. 30 will do. £30, anyone?
0:36:57 > 0:37:0020. £20 bid. Two do I see now?
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Two. Five. Eight. 28. 30. 32. 35. 38. 38 bid.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0740. Two. 42. 45. 48. Bid 50 now.
0:37:07 > 0:37:1048 bid. 50, do I see? I've got 48 in the third row.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Sold on the third row, then, at £48.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15- Minus 128. - THEY GROAN
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Oh, dear! What a trauma that is!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- Are we going to go with the buffer? - Yes.- Oh, yes.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- For £10, you've got to do it, haven't you?- Definitely.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Decision made, team?- Yes. - OK, we're going with it.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Lot number 100, a George V silver-backed...
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Varnished fingers crossed! - JANE LAUGHS
0:37:33 > 0:37:37Birmingham 1912. Who's going to start me at £30?
0:37:37 > 0:37:4020 to go, then, surely? £20, anybody?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43£10, anyone? 10?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45£1 to go?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51One bid. Two bid. Three do I see?
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Three bid. Four. This is crazy. £4.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Four bid. Five now. Five bid.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Six bid.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Seven bid. Eight bid. Ten bid on the net. 12 now.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04£10 bid. 12 from the room?
0:38:04 > 0:38:08At £10. We've obviously hit the buffers. Any more?
0:38:08 > 0:38:09Going, then, at £10.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11- It wiped its face.- Fantastic!
0:38:11 > 0:38:14No great contribution, but it didn't cost you anything.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17So, listen, you're minus 128.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Don't be too gloomy, it might be a winning score!
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Dot, Alan, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- Just as well.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41OK, now, first lot coming up is the yard of ale. Here it comes.
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Showing now, 116, is a Whitefriars clear-glass yard of ale.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49Who's going to start me at £20? £20, anyone? 10 to go, then, surely?
0:38:49 > 0:38:5210 bid. 12? It's got a certificate, as well.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Dear, oh, dear!- At 10. - No beer-drinkers here, are there?
0:38:56 > 0:38:5910 bid. 11 now. At £10 bid. Any more bids?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Selling to a maiden bid of £10.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- I don't believe it, Charlie. That's minus £10.- Grimsville!
0:39:06 > 0:39:09It doesn't bode good as far as the rest of it is concerned.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- Here comes the brooch. - We should go now!
0:39:11 > 0:39:13The single-stone bar brooch this time.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15We start the bidding straight in at bottom estimate.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- 25 bid. 28.- That's marvellous! - 28 surely.
0:39:19 > 0:39:2228 bid. 30. 32 now? Two bid, 32. Five bid at 35.
0:39:22 > 0:39:2538 bid. 40. 40 bid and two now. 42.
0:39:25 > 0:39:2945. 45. 48 now. At 45 bid. 48 do I see?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I will sell, make no mistake, at £45.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34£45 is plus £25,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37which means, overall, you're plus £15. How good is that?
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Now, this old cart...
0:39:39 > 0:39:45Lot number 118 is the Eastern European peasant's wooden cart.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Start me at £40. 30 to go, then. 30. 20.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49- Oh, dear.- 20 bid.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Five, do I see? 25? Bid 30? 30 bid. 35.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- 35. Bid 40. 40 bid. 45. 45. 50. - Come on!
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- 50. And five.- Loving it! - 55? At £50 bid. At 50.
0:39:59 > 0:40:0152? 52.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Yes!- 55.- Come on, madam!- 58?
0:40:03 > 0:40:08Last call, then, done and finished in the front and selling at £55.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12£55 is minus £20. You had £15, which means you're minus £5.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- THEY GROAN - Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- It's not as bad as I thought. - Exactly right.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21We were wrong about the cart. It did a lot better but not good enough.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Anyway, you're minus £5 overall. Minus £5 could be a winning score,
0:40:25 > 0:40:29or you could go with the Sorrento!
0:40:29 > 0:40:34- I think we go with the Sorrento, don't you?- I'm saying nothing.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Dot's always said she thought you were a really good judge.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Yes. So we'll definitely go with it.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- You're not so sure!- No!
0:40:43 > 0:40:47- Do you not agree with that, Alan? - I think we should go with it.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Yes.- You don't believe that, do you, Alan, for one minute?!
0:40:51 > 0:40:54- No!- Let's go with it! - We'll go with it.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Yes.- Definitely. - We're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59122, early 20th-century Sorrento ware.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03£100, anybody? 100. 80, if you like. £80? 50, then.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- 50? 30 will do, then. 30? - I don't like the look of this.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10£30! Look at what we're selling. £30, anybody. 30.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1520? 20 bid. 20 bid. Two. Two bid. Five in the room. Five bid.
0:41:15 > 0:41:1928 now. 30, do I see? 30 bid. 30. And two. £30 bid.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24- Two now, surely, at 30 bid.- What?! - Look at what we're selling here, good Sorrento ware.
0:41:24 > 0:41:2632. Fresh blood. 35.
0:41:26 > 0:41:2935. 38 now. No? 35 bid. 38 now surely?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Not enough fresh blood.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Selling, then, at £35. All done.
0:41:33 > 0:41:3735 is minus £40,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39which means, overall, you're minus £45.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43- Never mind! Never mind. It doesn't matter, Charlie. - It could've been worse.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47Don't say a word to the Reds. All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- OK.- Well done. - Cheers.- Thank you very much.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- Well, good fun, eh?- Definitely.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- Been chatting about the results? - ALL: No.- Not at all.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Well, it's no secret that both teams have made...
0:42:09 > 0:42:12..a socking great loss today!
0:42:12 > 0:42:16It's just a question of the scale of losses, that's all.
0:42:16 > 0:42:21And one of our teams just happens to be in three figures of losses,
0:42:21 > 0:42:23and that happens to be the Reds.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26I'm afraid you're the losers.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- But that £116 loss was a body blow, wasn't it?- It was.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Because, quite frankly, that deer wasn't the object for you today, was it?- No.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Anyway, good fun. Thank you very much.
0:42:36 > 0:42:37The victors today, though, are the Blues.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41- They win by only losing £45. - Oh!- That's brilliant!
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Most of which was made up by their bonus buy.
0:42:43 > 0:42:49I suspect that Alan will not be going to Sorrento for a bit, will you, Alan?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51You were very sweet about that. You went with it,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55but it did lose you £40 of the 45 that you're down the old proverbial.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58You've been very British about it.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59THEY LAUGH
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Good fun?- It was brilliant. - Excellent.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07Sorry not to be giving you money, but you've given us entertainment, for which I thank you.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- In fact, join us soon for some bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
0:43:12 > 0:43:17You're sitting there thinking, "I could've done better than that."
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Well, what's stopping you?
0:43:19 > 0:43:23If you think you can spot a bargain, go to our BBC website and apply.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26It'll be splendid to see you!
