0:00:05 > 0:00:10Our Reds and Blues are here at the Westpoint Arena just outside Exeter.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12They're poised, they're primed,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16they're ready for a bit of antiques action, so let's get busy!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:46 > 0:00:50Our teams, as ever, have £300 and an hour to shop
0:00:50 > 0:00:53for three items to sell on later at auction.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57And here is a quick taste as to what's coming up.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04- Our Reds go for some bullish negotiations.- Can we start again?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- Start again?- At 30?- 60.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Whilst the Blues take a more diplomatic approach.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- You should be a politician, you know that?- Am I diplomatic?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17You are so good, it's unbelievable.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But will our teams keep their cool
0:01:21 > 0:01:23as things start heating up at the auction?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- I can't look.- Right, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Well, we are, as they say, keeping everything in the family today.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Because, for the Reds, we have mother and daughter, Val and Lucy,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and for the Blues, we have Gerald and Amanda, father and daughter.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Hello, everyone.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Hello!- Now, Val, tell me about your amazing career, darling.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I always wanted to be an air stewardess,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and I joined British Airways when I was much younger,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and flew for several years on overseas division.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56You've also then done what after the flying?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I had three children, and then joined the NHS as
0:01:59 > 0:02:03a horticultural therapist for mental health patients.
0:02:03 > 0:02:04Really, how lovely is that?
0:02:04 > 0:02:05It was really good,
0:02:05 > 0:02:09and they offered nurse training for people who were interested,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and I went on and did my degree, and I've been a nurse for seven years.
0:02:13 > 0:02:14You're amazing.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18Now, Lucy, it says here that you enjoy working with words.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yeah, so I did my degree in English
0:02:20 > 0:02:24and then I did an internship at a glossy women's magazine.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I've worked my way up through magazines, so that's what
0:02:28 > 0:02:30I do now, and I'm a managing editor
0:02:30 > 0:02:32on lots of different magazine titles.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35The magazine business has been phenomenal, hasn't it,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- in this country over the last 10 or 20 years?- It has, it has.
0:02:37 > 0:02:38What about your tactics today?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41What sort of things are you and your mother going to go for?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43We decided on something practical,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46something beautiful, and something collectable.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47That's what we're going to try and do.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50That sounds like a journalist's answer to me.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51That's what we're going to try.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53You've worked all that out, haven't you?
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, very good luck with it and lovely to meet you.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Now, Amanda, you like the bright lights and a bit of grease paint.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- I do, yes.- You're a performer yourself.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- I am, yes.- Tell us about that.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03I went to the Guildford School of Acting
0:03:03 > 0:03:07and then spent several years in London treading the boards.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Then I came back to Somerset,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11and now I run a performing arts school with my mum.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15How lovely is that? So the circle has been completed in a way.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Yes, absolutely.- What did you do when you were in London?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19All sorts of things.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Lots of forgotten musicals, and I did pantomime,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25all sorts of different theatre genres.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Oh, no, you didn't! - Oh, yes, I did!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- So you sing a bit, do you? - I do, yes.- Lovely.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31You don't have a little tune up your sleeve
0:03:31 > 0:03:33you'd like to share with us do you, by any chance?
0:03:33 > 0:03:34What would you like to hear?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I want you to give us a little trill of your favourite musical.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39My favourite musical?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Probably Phantom of the Opera, actually.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- OK, go for it, girl!- Oh, lordy! OK.
0:03:43 > 0:03:49# Wishing you were somehow here again
0:03:49 > 0:03:53# Wishing you were somehow near
0:03:54 > 0:03:57# Sometimes it seemed if I just dreamed
0:03:57 > 0:04:03# Somehow you would be here. #
0:04:03 > 0:04:06What about that? That is a bit of quality. That is, isn't it?
0:04:06 > 0:04:11Just off pat like that. I'm incredibly impressed, and well done.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Look at your dad, he's puffed up with pride!
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Now, Gerald, you've retired as an engineer.- Yes.- What do you do now?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23- I do help with the studio.- Oh, you do a bit of dancing?- No, no, no.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- All the maintenance. - Oh, maintenance.- Yes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It's rather boring, but somebody's got to do it.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And you volunteer a bit too, don't you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Yes, I do, I work for a charity, a wildlife rescue charity.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39And what sort of animals have you had to pick up?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- From a deer down to a fieldmouse. - Gosh.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- But my favourite are swans. - Aren't they rather vicious things?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47No, they're not. Not really.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Do they like a ride in the back of your car, do they? The average swan?
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Yes, but they are restrained. - Oh, they're restrained.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Are you looking forward to the challenge?- Absolutely.- So are we.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00Now the money moment. Here we come. Here comes the 300 smackers.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05£300 apiece. You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And very, very, very good luck. Poor old swan.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Now, let's meet our experts.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Adding a bit of sparkle to the Red team today is Kate Bliss.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20And hunting for microscopic prices for the Blues is David Harper.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24So, Val and Lucy,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28we have a huge hangar here stuffed full of antiques.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Have you any idea what you might be looking for?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- I think silver, and jewellery, maybe.- Right.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So what then is the big plan today?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I think it's buy cheap, make big profits.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41OK, she's a bit cute, isn't she?
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Yes, she's always is.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm looking for practical things,
0:05:45 > 0:05:47chairs, small tables, that kind of thing.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- We're after the golden gavel. - Is that right?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Is that the aim?- The golden gavel? - The golden gavel.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- OK, shall we make it a golden gavel episode?- Yes.- Right.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- 60 minutes to get a golden gavel. Let's go.- Okey-doke.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Pretty and practical. Yes, I like the sound of that.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Right, off you go, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- The trick is to dive in.- Okey-doke. - And don't be afraid.
0:06:12 > 0:06:17And quick off the mark, the Reds home in on a compact case.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21I really, really like these. Is that fabric inlaid into the top?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23No, that's actually enamelled,
0:06:23 > 0:06:27and it's a style of enamel called guilloche enamel where the
0:06:27 > 0:06:30silver's actually engine-turned, and then the molten glass,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34if you like, the enamel, is put on top,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36so you get this lovely sheen.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37And you open it up,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41this is where your powder would have been, of course, and you have a
0:06:41 > 0:06:45lovely mirror, so you could just use it as a little mirror today.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49And there's a date letter here, in a hallmark, which is
0:06:49 > 0:06:52the letter H, for Birmingham, where the silver was actually tested.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- 185 though, girls. - Perhaps something to think about.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- What would be your best on that? - 150.- 150.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Shall we put it to one side and think about it? Thank you so much.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- We might well come back. - Thank you very much.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- I think onwards and upwards, girls.- Yes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Absolutely, Reds, onwards and upwards.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14But are those Blues moving in the right direction?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18As the ship is rocking around, of course, the compass remains level.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- That's right.- Then you fire it up, and you give it light.- Yes, I see.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24They make fantastic table lamps now.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26Would you have that in your house, Amanda?
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I think if I had an old-fashioned property, it'd be fantastic.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32But I think in modern houses, it might not be quite the thing.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36That was quite diplomatic, I must say. And the real answer is...
0:07:36 > 0:07:37No.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Yes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Very diplomatic, Amanda.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now, it looks like the Reds want to stir things up.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- Anna, what do you think of this spoon rack?- I really like that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- I do.- Have you seen the price tag?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Maybe a bit over our budget. - Even including the spoons.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- You have a good eye though, Val. - Thank you.- What's that down here?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00What's this, do you think?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03This is an old panel, and this is the sort of thing
0:08:03 > 0:08:06people are buying and incorporating into some panelling.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- What sort of price have you got on the panel?- 395.- 395.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Way over budget, folks!
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Clearly ladies with expensive tastes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Now back to the Blues, who are aiming on a high score.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23- Doesn't that get you excited? No?- No, it doesn't.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28You're hard to please, you two. It's a gaming marking board for a pub.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Now, come on, that's good fun, isn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:37So we're playing darts, we're just sharing a 10 gallon barrel of ale,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and we've got a darts competition going on, and that's what this is,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and, of course, provided by a tobacco maker
0:08:44 > 0:08:46who are advertising their wares,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49to the unsuspecting drunken dart player.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52It would be really good if you had a games room or something like that.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Do you have a games room, Amanda?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Not lucky enough for that, unfortunately.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- She hasn't got enough time.- No, I don't have enough time to play.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01What age do you think we're looking at?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Oh, well, I don't know. '40s or '50s?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I think so, yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10So we're harking back to your childhood days, aren't we?
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- This must be a nostalgic moment for you.- Is it evoking memories?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15No.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17LAUGHTER
0:09:17 > 0:09:22Shall we ask the lovely chap if he can come and talk to us?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Can you really, really tempt us?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I did play a bit for this one.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Erm, but I was going keep to 40.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- Ouch!- But I know you've got to make a profit.- We're trying, aren't we?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- I'll go 35.- 35. 30 quid?- I can't do it.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43I'd love to, but it has to be 35.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- 32?- God, he's good, isn't he?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49Let me just make a quick point here, that's a very interesting point.
0:09:49 > 0:09:55You've just said 32. What happens if this lovely gentleman says 32?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- You've bought it. You just bought it.- Thank you, sir.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59You've just bought it.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Oh, my gosh, we got our first item. That's so exciting.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Are you pleased with that? - I am, yes.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Indeed, you have just bought your first item, Amanda.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Well done, and how exciting.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And, as ever, Kate has her eye on the clock.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Ladies, just come and have a look at this. Come around.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Now, Lucy, you like vintage things, don't you?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22This is a little bit more...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24What can you tell me about this?
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Well, these are in fashion at the moment.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- This is an industrial, electric clock.- Do you know how old it is?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- '50s, maybe?- I really like that. - It's that sort of style.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Make no mistake, this has not got fancy workings,
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- this is an electric clock. - Is it battery?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41No, no, it would have been mains.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- You plug it in?- Yes. - Oh, so you have to wire it.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I still think even though you might have to wire it to the mains,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51the people looking for something authentic, or a particular
0:10:51 > 0:10:54style, which that is, I still think they might go for it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59It's all about the price. What's your absolute rock bottom?
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I'll do it for 70, I really can't come down less than that.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- I think that's something else we'll have to...- I would go for that.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Would you? Could you just bring it under the 70?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Just thinking of the bids, how they go up?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- 68?- 65 for cash?- 65 for cash, even?
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- OK.- Wonderful, thank you very much indeed.- Thanks so much.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26Officially, with time on their side, the Reds make their first purchase.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Congratulations.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Well done, girls, first purchase.- I love that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Yeah, it's fantastic.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35It's now 1-1 and both teams want to track down some bling.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Let's find a good silver store.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- We have a look at some more silver?- Yes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Beautiful.- Those sort of things, there, see that?- What do you like?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46They're sort of rattles and teething...
0:11:46 > 0:11:49Amanda, let's have you choose which one you'd like to look at.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Seeing as we're the Blue team and this one has a blue ribbon,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- I think that might be an omen. Is that all right?- OK.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think your dad knows all about that, don't you?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- Teething for a baby.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- HE CHEWS - Yeah.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I've never seen a baby do that before.- No, no, no!
0:12:05 > 0:12:06- And is it a rattle as well?- Yeah.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08It can be. Keeps them happy, doesn't it?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12So it's made from mother-of-pearl on the handle.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- And then solid silver.- Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16And what are we depicting there in this scene?
0:12:16 > 0:12:19It's Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Aw! That's reasonably rare for a little silver teething rattle,
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- to have been distinctly made for a boy.- Yes.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31So, hallmarks, let's have a look. So we have the Crown for Chester.
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- And then a G. Is that 1890?- 1890. There we are. I thought it was.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- That's rather nice. - What was your best price?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- £90.- 90. 75?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I'm afraid I'm going to have to...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50be firm and say no.
0:12:50 > 0:12:57- Can you try a bit harder?- 85, it needs to be.- OK.- I'm there.- OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- What do you think?- Well, I think it would be marvellous at...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02To be really mercenary,
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I'd love it at £50 or £60 but it's not going to happen.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- It's a beautiful thing. - Have a chat.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Shall we go with it?- Yeah.- OK.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Thank you very much.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16After rattling on, the Blues have made their second purchase.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- Two objects in 25 minutes.- Yeah. - We're doing well.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23What would we really like to buy now? What shall we get?
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Maybe some glassware?- OK. Shall we go on a glass hunt?- Lovely.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Let's go and get some glass.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Now, the Reds have also honed in on a silver item
0:13:31 > 0:13:34in the form of a rather interesting bookmark.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35Now, as a horticulturalist,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- a little trowel might be quite appropriate for you.- It's lovely.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42We've got a nice clear hallmark on here.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Quite often, these are just marked sterling. It's 1908 in date.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- 100 years old.- Edwardian. - It is over 100 years.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53And do you think these kind of things are collectable,
0:13:53 > 0:13:54would people collect a bookmark?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Yes, in fact, in the past I've seen these at auction,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00they do quite well. And it is functional as well as decorative
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- because it is a little bookmark. - That's lovely.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- What's the best price the lady could do?- 55?
0:14:04 > 0:14:0745 would be your best.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Is that your absolute rock bottom?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'll do 40 and that's the absolute best.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So, decision, ladies, what do we think?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I decided on the clock, so you decide.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- No, no, if you're happy with that... - I think 40 is good.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23It's very pretty and it's got lovely detailing on the handle.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It has. Done!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31So, a quick decision on item number two for the Reds.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Now, both teams are halfway through the shop.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- What're you looking at? - Those very tall glasses.- OK.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I don't think they're old.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- No, I don't really like them. - Don't you?- No.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Is it because the basin isn't big enough to get enough wine in,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Amanda?- That's right.- Yes! Very good point, very good point.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Yeah! That's way too small for a decent glass of wine.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55You're an old hand at this, aren't you, this antique hunting?
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Well, we like to try. - We've done a bit.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- Where do you go? - We like to go to Shepton Mallet.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02Shepton Mallet is our main one.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06And we try to play the Bargain Hunt game and we've given ourselves
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- an hour and what would you buy in that hour?- Really?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12But we've always failed miserably!
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Hear that? That's what I call dedication to the cause.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I wonder if that chair, that stick back one, with the teddy on it...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- Yes. This one here?- Yeah.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Single dining chairs are dead. They do not sell well at auction.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Children's chairs, yes, they are quite commercial.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- Just take a look at this and imagine it like that.- Has it been cut down?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40It has indeed. I think these are legs from a different chair.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Can you see how they join the seat? - And, look, there's another leg hole.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47There's another leg hole, well spotted.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- So the whole proportions of the piece are wrong.- Yeah, sure.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52OK. Great, thank you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54As the Reds are brought down to size,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57the Blues are also feeling pretty compact.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00You know, if you're going to buy a compact, I think you'd want one,
0:16:00 > 0:16:04for auction purposes, you want a silver one or a gold one.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I think you'd need to put a few of these together
0:16:06 > 0:16:08to make an auction lot.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12They're not making fortunes. They are selling for 10, £20 apiece.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- They're sort of on the money. - In fairs like this.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So in auction, you're going to be
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- very lucky to get... - To make a profit.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Maybe we should think about something else.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24We can always come back and buy half a dozen compacts in the final moments.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27There's enough there, there will be some left, all right?
0:16:27 > 0:16:28- Come on.- Come on then.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33So, it's not just the Reds that are drawn to the compacts.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37But will this item be our team's choice for their final buys?
0:16:37 > 0:16:3920 minutes left.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41I suppose some people might collect them.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So are you keen on sticks, you girls?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- Well, yeah, nice for country walk. - Bit of a whack.- Exactly.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- So, you having a good time with Kate?- Yes.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51She just saved us from making a big mistake on a chair.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- It's all going really well. - They never sell well.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57It's just nudging and directing a little bit, isn't it?
0:16:57 > 0:17:02- Yeah, good advice.- Anyway, you've spent how much so far?- £105.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04You've spent £105 and you've got one more item to find.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- Going to buy something really expensive?- Oh, yeah, we're trying.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- Blow the budget.- Well, time ticks on, and good luck.- Thank you.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16After that little update, the Blues are trying to bag a bargain.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Amanda, are you into this vintage scene?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21They are very beautiful, I have to say.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's not something I personally collect.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- You should be a politician, you know that?- Am I diplomatic?
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- You are so good, it's unbelievable. - You certainly are.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- I...- I think they're pretty,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35but it's not tempting me to part with money.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40- OK. So do you really like them, then?- No!
0:17:40 > 0:17:42There we go. That's the honest answer.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45They're starting to run out of time now as both teams reach
0:17:45 > 0:17:49the final 10 minutes. Panic is starting to set in.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Oh!
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Panicking yet?- Slightly. - I thought you were.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Right, down here, girls.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59We've been down. We've been down there, have we been down there?
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Yes, we've been down there.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Let's look at the price, though, we're so short of time. 68.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05- I'm not sure that's for us.- No.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Moving on. Has David finally seen the light?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11There is something there that I quite like,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13this Persian hanging lamp.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- Could be.- You like the look of it?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Tell the truth. No, no, do your usual.- Shall I be...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- OK, I'm going to ask you a question. - OK.- Amanda, I really like that.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- What do you think? - Go on, Amanda, do your thing.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- It's not necessarily to my taste. - OK.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- But I could see it in the right sort of place.- OK.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Said like a true pro.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- So you don't want me to handle it then?- Go on, have a look.- Oh, go on!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- Why not?- OK, thank you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I just like the style.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47It's very interior design, it's very busy.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And I can see it lit up.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54You know, the more you say, I can see a big church candle in there.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Yes. Absolutely right. That's where you drop your church candle.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02You plonk that lid on, and you can sit it on a table.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Or you can hang it from the ceiling. - Yes, yes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10So, made from copper, and we've got lots of things going on here.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14We've got peacocks, foliage, it's very Moorish.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Yes, it is, actually. - Like North Africa.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- There's a lot going on.- 68.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- What sort of cheeky offer do you think we should go in with?- 50?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Let's ask him.- 55, I could do.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- It's got 68 on at the moment?- Yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Is it going to make 30 quid and you're going to blow 25,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36or are you going to get two people with a bit of oomph about them
0:19:36 > 0:19:40seeing its potential and saying to themselves, "I'll pay £100 for it"?
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- What was your best price?- Bottom line would be 50, there we are.- 50.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- I think we might go with that one, yes.- Shall we do it?- Yeah.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- Go on, be positive.- Yes.- Yes!- Yes! - Well done, we've done it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58You certainly have done it, David. And well done.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02That's your Blue team done and dusted. Three items duly purchased.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07With minutes to go, Kate suddenly spots something Scottish and furry.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11- There's a sporran on here. That's a bit different.- Yes, yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16- Now, they're silver-plated. It's a bit wacky, isn't it?- It is.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20This is quite a nice one. It's got a bit of age to it, you can see.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22Leather, we've got real leather.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26We've got "Made in Scotland" up here, which suggests fairly late.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31I would maybe say '50s. And I think that's sheep's wool.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- It looks sort of quite vintage. - Definitely.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Still in really good condition.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38At auction, I've seen these go for 30,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41I've seen the really unusual ones go for 50 plus.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43What's the best on this?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Well, I've got 55 on it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- 40?- 40? How about 45?
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- How about 41 for a pretty girl? - Two pretty girls.- Thank you!
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Three, even!- Three!
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Can we start again?- Start again? - At 30.- 60.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Cheeky!
0:21:00 > 0:21:04- Then we come in! - I think we pay 38 for it, done.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Cash, in your hand.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11- Well, how about 40?- I think it's not bad. I think it's got a chance.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- It's a really nice, unusual thing. - Yeah, OK.- It's good.- Fantastic.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- We'll do it.- You're welcome, ladies.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Well done, Reds, that's your third and final item bagged.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25And congratulations, you've finished shopping.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Time's up! Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Tick-tock. They spent £65 on an electric metal-case wall clock.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37They dug up a silver and mother-of-pearl bookmark
0:21:37 > 0:21:39in the form of a trowel for £40.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44And they also spent £40 on an early 20th-century sporran, as you do.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Yabber, yabber, yabber, yabber, yabber, yabber, yabber.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I mean, you lot like to chat on, don't you?- We do!- You certainly do.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57- Which is your favourite piece? - The sporran.- Really?- Yes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Had you had a thing about sporrans? - Never, never touched one or seen one!
0:22:00 > 0:22:03And do you agree that the sporran is the favourite piece?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05No, my favourite's the clock.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- I think it is, yeah. We got a good deal.- She might be right there.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- OK, fine. You've had a great day being with Kate today?- Yeah!
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- We've had a brilliant time.- Jolly nice too.- How much did you spend?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- 145.- 145, I'd like 155 leftover lolly, please.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Who's got that? Thank you very much.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27OK, 155 leftover lolly. What are you going to do with that, Kate Bliss?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- Well, it's quite a solid amount, isn't it?- Solid.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33These ladies have been so measured and calculating in their choices.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35So I'm going to have to be very careful.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Will you be going for something Scottish themed, do you think?
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Nice kilt to go with your sporran? - Well, I can try.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43No, don't! Please!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- We're in the West Country. - This is true.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Very good luck and have a great time.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55They chalked up £32 for an old advertising scoreboard.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01They invested £85 in a Victorian child's silver
0:23:01 > 0:23:03and mother-of-pearl rattle.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And they spent £50 on an early 20th-century
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Persian copper pierced baluster lamp.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Had a good time?- Lovely. - Was he good?- Fantastic.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And you spent how much?
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- £167.- That's very nice, I'd like 133, please.- Yes, I've got it here.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Well, Dad and I have chosen the silver rattle as our favourite piece.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- Yes, we think so.- Do you? So the rest of it's not much cop?
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- No, no, we didn't say that!- Thanks for that!- It's a prediction, anyway.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- It's your favourite and the maximum profit is the rattle.- I think so.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Which is handy for teething too, does it do teething?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Oh, yes, it's a teething rattle. - Oh, lovely.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Anyway, very good.- I can sense a line coming towards me there, Tim!
0:23:48 > 0:23:52No, no, no. So tell me, David, what will you do with all that cash?
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I don't know, Tim. We've bought a real eclectic mix of things.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- But nothing particularly feminine, have we?- Something girly?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Well, you're in touch with your feminine side.- That's right.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Should be what they call a piece of cake. Anyway, off you go, David.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Meanwhile, I'm going to show you a little pooch with a secret.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12HE BARKS
0:24:18 > 0:24:23Well, as they say, fine things often come in small packages.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So try this thing on for size.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Now, in a fair like this at Westpoint, there are 400-odd stands
0:24:28 > 0:24:32and on every stand there are probably 100 and 200 objects.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34That is an awful lot of things
0:24:34 > 0:24:38to look over before you find your special piece.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43And I've found on a stand, just here, this little chap.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48What we've got is a spaniel which is dozing on a blue cushion.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52Those colours are very typical of Prattware.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56The artist who's crudely modelled this in Staffordshire,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59at the end of the 18th century, early part of the 19th century,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02has got that expression exactly right.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05If you look at the palette on this object,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08there are deep, rich blues,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12and then a gorgeous pattern on the back of the hound
0:25:12 > 0:25:16which includes a sort of aubergine-y brown,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20and then some yellow blotches and a bit more blue.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22What's unusual about the thing,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25though, is that the cushion is on a rectangular plinth,
0:25:25 > 0:25:30and the rectangular plinth is raised on a tapering stem.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Then you look on the underside and it's slightly domed,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and it's got some more patterning on it.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40This is a crude piece of rather naive earthenware.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Not sold for a huge amount of money in a smart London retailers,
0:25:45 > 0:25:49but more likely to have been bought and sold
0:25:49 > 0:25:51in a fairground in a market town.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53But it has got a proper purpose.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The circular base, look,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00unscrews like that to reveal a little secret box.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Into which you could keep your jujus.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08Jujus, for making your breath smell sweeter.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Little bits of preserved and sugared angelica,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16or violet leaves, or little bits of lavender.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19This is a feature which is extremely rare.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Have you ever seen an early 19th-century
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Pratt-decorated secret box like this?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Well, in my 50 years of wandering around places like this,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32I've never seen one.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36And I tell you, this thing is as rare as rare can be.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39And if you ever find one like this out there,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43for £50, my advice is to hoover it up.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Because it would be your lucky day.
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Because the dealer who owns this on the stand just over there
0:26:50 > 0:26:51does know what it's worth.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55He knows he's got a rare and rather wonderful object
0:26:55 > 0:26:57and has priced it accordingly.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Now... Put your teacup down.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Stand by for the valuation.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- He is asking £800. - HE LAUGHS
0:27:06 > 0:27:08£800!
0:27:09 > 0:27:11I think I'll take it back to him.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Well, we've stayed in Devon
0:27:27 > 0:27:32and have come to Bearnes, Hampton and Littlewood's saleroom
0:27:32 > 0:27:34to be with Brian Goodison-Blanks.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Brian, how nice to see you. - Nice to see you.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Now, with the Reds, they've got a weird collection,
0:27:39 > 0:27:40including this electric clock.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Which could have come straight from a schoolroom.- It could have done.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Or a factory.- It's Temco, so it's the telephone manufacturing company.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- Around about 1950s.- Is it?
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Evocative of a period, and just what people want.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It would do, that would look very nice in a kitchen today.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- It would indeed. So, how much? - We're suggesting about £40-£60.
0:27:58 > 0:28:0240-60, that kind of tells the right time, doesn't it?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06£65 paid. Right, now, moving on, we've got the bookmark.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07A little trowel.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10It's a fun little thing, novelty bookmark, again,
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- sort of Victorian, late Victorian, Edwardian.- How much?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- About £20-£30.- That's curious, because they paid £40.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19They paid about twice what your low estimate is.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Still, you never know.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25Now, I'm feeling pretty confident about this sporran, how do you feel?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27I think that's a rather fun piece.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It's really nicely designed, with the Celtic leather-work
0:28:30 > 0:28:33around the metalwork at the top as well. Nicely marked.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35And it's got all its dangly bits.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It has, it's all dingly-dangly for you there.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Basically, this thing is ready to go.- Ready to be worn.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I'd love to know what your estimate is on that.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- It's probably round about £30-40.- Really? Is that all?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Yeah, but the internet interest should take that a lot higher.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I wouldn't be surprised if it made £100, would you?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It should make around £80-100.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Because the team paid £40 and that would seriously help them out.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Irrespective of how the sporran does, here in Devon,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03we're going to have a look now at the bonus buy.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Girls, this is exciting, isn't it? - Yes!
0:29:07 > 0:29:11You spent the 145, you gave Kate Bliss £155.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Kate, what did you find? - Well, girls...
0:29:14 > 0:29:19- Oh, wow!- This is what I found. It is of course glass.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23And it's a little model of a fawn or a "dem"
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- as it's called in French. Because it is French.- It is French.
0:29:27 > 0:29:32- And it's by a very well-known glass designer...- Lalique.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Oh! She's got it!- No, I read it!
0:29:35 > 0:29:36You read it! Well, good girl,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38because not only do you know it's Lalique,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41but you have spotted the very important signature there.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43And this was designed as a paperweight,
0:29:43 > 0:29:48very closely related to the car mascots that Lalique was known for.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51The pieces that were made post-war
0:29:51 > 0:29:54are usually just signed Lalique France.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57And pre-1945, has this initial, R Lalique,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59which is exactly what we've got here.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Now, I would say that this dates from the Art Deco period,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04from the 1930s.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06How much did you pay for it?
0:30:06 > 0:30:11- I paid £90. OK?- I think that seems quite reasonable.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14And how much do you think it's worth? At the auction?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Well, I think if the right collector's there,
0:30:16 > 0:30:21and the auction is online, I think it should make a healthy profit.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- But I can't guarantee that. - Thank you very much, Kate, for that.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27You don't pick it now, you pick it later if you need to.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28On that happy note,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32let's find out what the auctioneer think about Kate's little fawn.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34There we go, Brian.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38It's instantly recognisable as Lalique and signed R Lalique.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41This one unfortunately probably has had a bit of damage at some point,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43somebody's ground off this back edge.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45That's why you've got that deep bevel?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- It should be square all the way across.- Right.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50And also as well, just on the top here,
0:30:50 > 0:30:54probably ground out one or two small chips to the horns.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56But a nice little thing, collectors of Lalique,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59it's a good piece to start a collection with.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- OK, how much?- About 50, £70.
0:31:02 > 0:31:08£90 paid. Still, that's not too far off. That's it from the Reds.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12And now for the Blues, who've got the Old Holborn darts scoreboard.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Advertising signs are very popular,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17particularly the early enamel on iron.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20This one is much later, probably just on tin or aluminium.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22So how much do you think it'll bring?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25It's had a hard life, so it's probably been in a rough pub.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- And it's probably only about £15-£20. - OK, £32 paid.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I really don't see them getting their money back.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Now, the mother-of-pearl rattle.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I see quite a few of these coming up and the early ones with coral
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- and all the rest of it, they can make a bit of money.- They can.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42But increasingly, more difficult to sell.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45They are, because I think the market has moved away
0:31:45 > 0:31:47from the later pieces.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51It's a collectable that people have fallen out of fashion with.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Slightly. So as a result, what do you think?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Probably only £30-£50.- £85 paid.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59That is a big sum of money to pay for something
0:31:59 > 0:32:02that is vaguely out of fashion.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05OK, and lastly we've got the lump of copper,
0:32:05 > 0:32:09which I have to say is beautifully pierced and all of that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It very much takes you to the East, doesn't it?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It does, you can imagine a nice candle in there,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- throwing out some interesting light. - Yes. Do you think it's...
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Is it Cairo, Egypt, or Damascus? Some sort of place around there?
0:32:20 > 0:32:24It's probably similar to Cairo-ware, which we see quite a lot of.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- How much?- Around £30-£50. - I think that's exactly right.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30£50 paid, so they're definitely going to need the bonus buy,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33that's my prediction, and here it comes.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- Now, Amanda, Gerald, how are you, all right?- Very well, thank you.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40You spent 167? Yes, we did.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- You gave the Harper £133.- Yes.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45- And David, show us.- OK.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I did say I was going to buy something feminine.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Is that a necklace?- Not quite! You'd have to have a little neck for that!
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- That's beautiful. - Isn't that vintage chic?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It is gorgeous, absolutely lovely.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Amanda, show me your wrist.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Does that really have to go into the auction?- I'm afraid so!
0:33:02 > 0:33:04It's not a personal gift for you!
0:33:04 > 0:33:06But it's lovely.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09It's white metal, it's probably silver,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12but it has no hallmark so we can't guarantee it is silver.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15It's Indo-Persian and it's made fantastically.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19We've got mother-of-pearl and then painted with enamel decoration
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- on top of the mother-of-pearl. - Oh, yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- It's just delicious.- Beautiful. How much did you spend?- I paid 45.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29Really?! Goodness me!
0:33:29 > 0:33:33I mean, that is one deuce of a lot of work, isn't it?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36And all in miniature. As you're wearing that, and it's moving about,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39it just looks like a lot of fun, funky colours.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42You get close in, these are miniature pieces of art.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44In their own right.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Very, very clever.- How much do you think that might make?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50You know, with jewellery, especially online, I think
0:33:50 > 0:33:52it could make the 80, it could make the 100.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57- It's exciting.- And I'm already excited. Anyway, there it is.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59You don't pick now, you pick later but let's find out
0:33:59 > 0:34:02whether the auctioneer is going to get excited.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Well, I think it's better than at first glance.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11It is, it's quite nicely decorated, isn't it? These nice typical scenes.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- It's tourist-ware...- It is.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18..from somewhere in Iran or Iraq or that sort of neck.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22It is, a decorative piece of costume jewellery, really, isn't it?
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- Perfect, perfect. So, what's your estimate?- We're suggesting £30-£50.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29OK, £45 paid. I think the Harper's been very cunning with that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- I think it could take off. Like a magic carpet, isn't it?- It is.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36Coming out of Baghdad. That's what we hope for. Thank you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Now, Val, Lucy, how are you feeling on this bright and breezy day?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Excited.- Excited but nervous. - Are you?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Is that because you think something is not going to do so well, Val?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- I just get nervous at auctions! - Oh, do you?- Yes!
0:34:54 > 0:34:56OK. And what about you, Luce?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- I'm really excited about seeing what happens with the clock.- The clock?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- OK, that's the first item. - What do you think?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05I'm thinking this is a really nice period thing.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09£40-£60 is his estimate. You paid 65.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12And I think it's a bit of tease, that estimate, because it works
0:35:12 > 0:35:16and it's got style and it would look lovely in anybody's kitchen.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Is it going to tell the right time? Let's find out.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23Lot 186 is the Temco electric metal-cased wall clock.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25What will I say for that, £60?
0:35:25 > 0:35:26- Should be.- It's on at 40.
0:35:28 > 0:35:29It's on at 30.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Oh, dear! Come on, internet!
0:35:31 > 0:35:33On at 20.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3520, thank you, madam. At 20 I have in the room.
0:35:35 > 0:35:3922, internet. 25. 28.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4228, 30. 32.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48£30, the bid is with the lady. 32, 35. 38, internet.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52At 35, and I'm selling, then.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5335!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56£35!
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Oh, no!- What can you do? - OK, minus £30.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02The silver mother-of-pearl handled bookmark.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06In the form of a trowel. Birmingham 1908, what do I say, £20?
0:36:06 > 0:36:1020 straightaway, thank you very much. At £20, 22 now elsewhere?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12At 20 in the doorway, 22 internet?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16No, at the maiden bid of £20, then.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- You quite sure?- No, no!
0:36:18 > 0:36:20It's in the room at £20.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- So miserable.- It is! - £20 is minus £20.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29OK. Now. The pain is over, I hope.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Lot 188, the early 20th-century sporran
0:36:32 > 0:36:36with the wool and silver plate mounts,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40circa 1910 and interest here with me at 30, five, 40, five, 50.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Oh, yes.- 55, internet.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46At 55, internet. 60 now elsewhere.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50At £55, the internet has it at 55, and selling now.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56£55. £55. Is a miserable plus 15.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00- It is a profit.- It is a profit.- But it could easily have made £100.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03At 30, 40, 50, you were, you're now minus £35.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05So what we feel about the Lalique then?
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Let's go with it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10OK, for the third and final time, Mum says let's go with it,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12we're going to go with it. See what happens,
0:37:12 > 0:37:14the die is cast and here comes the fawn.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15I can't look.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Lot 192 is the Lalique glass model of a fawn, signed R Lalique,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21and various interests here.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26At 30, five, 40, five, 50, five, 60.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27£60 here.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Five now elsewhere? 65, 70, five,
0:37:30 > 0:37:3280, five, 80, five, 90, five.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34You're in profit. Well done, Kate Bliss.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36£100 I have. Five now.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- At 100, commission has it with me at 100, five internet?- What a relief.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43It's with me then at £100, five at all elsewhere,
0:37:43 > 0:37:46last chance then, selling at £100.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- £100. It's plus £10. Well done, Kate Bliss.- Thank you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55That is positively blissful. Which means you are only minus £25.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- That's not too bad.- Which is barely a wink in this game.- It is.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Don't say a word to the Blues, all right? OK.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- Mum is the word, Mum.- Yes.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- So, have you been chatting to the Reds?- No, not at all.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21Good. We don't want that. Now, the old Holborn advertising scoreboard
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- has an estimate on £15-£20.- Right.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29- You paid £32, on the recommendation of David.- Thank you!
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Now, Amanda, Gerald, here we go. Old Holborn.
0:38:32 > 0:38:37Lot 203 is the 1940s, 1950s Old Holborn advertising scoreboard.
0:38:37 > 0:38:43Showing there for you. And interest here with me at eight, 10, 12, £15.
0:38:43 > 0:38:4718 I have. I am out then, commission is out, it's £18 in the room.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51And 20 now. 20 internet. 22, sir? 25 internet.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Come on!- Bidding stands in the room at 22. Quite sure then?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56At £22, and five now?
0:38:56 > 0:39:0225 seated. 28? 28, 30? 32.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0630 seated. 32 elsewhere? At £30, gentlemen in the glasses.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Oh, so close!- All done at 30?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12THEY GROAN
0:39:12 > 0:39:15£30, David, there's no shame in that. Minus two pounds.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18It's not even 3%. Now, here comes the rattle.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Lovely there. - And here with me at 18, 20,
0:39:24 > 0:39:2722, 25. 25 I have.
0:39:27 > 0:39:3128 elsewhere? At 25, 28 with Howard.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32I'm out then.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34At 28, 30, 32, 35,
0:39:34 > 0:39:3838, 40, 42, 45.
0:39:38 > 0:39:4142, here then, five, internet? I saw you flashing.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43At 42, the bid is in the room then, at 42.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Five, internet, you quite sure?
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Another chance? All done then, at £42?
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- Oh, no!- £43 off!
0:39:53 > 0:39:58Minus £43. Plus the two is minus 45.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03OK, now. Go, Persian lamp!
0:40:03 > 0:40:06And again, interest here with me at 20, two, 25,
0:40:06 > 0:40:0928, 30. £30 here.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1032 elsewhere now?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Commission's with me at £30, do I see two at all?
0:40:14 > 0:40:16It's like walking through porridge.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19At £30, commission bid with me and I'll sell.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Oh!- Did he sell it for £30?- He did.
0:40:23 > 0:40:29- His favourite. Minus 20 is minus £65.- OK.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31It's quite a big old turn, that, isn't it?
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- Shouldn't be like this.- No!
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- OK, so what are we going to do? - We're going definitely with...
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- We're going with the bonus buy. - Go with the Persian bracelet?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44OK, I can tell you what its estimate is, £30-£50.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- I mean, you have to have faith. - Yes, yes, yes!
0:40:46 > 0:40:50- Because it's a peach of a buy. - We live on hope.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Say £30?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- £20, then, ladies? - Nothing on the internet.
0:40:56 > 0:41:0010 to start, 10, thank you, I have. 12, 12, sir, 12. 15?
0:41:00 > 0:41:0218, 18, 20.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07No, at £18 then, at 18 I have seated. 20 elsewhere at all?
0:41:07 > 0:41:11At £18 only. Quite sure then at 18?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Oh!- Lordy, Lordy, Lord preserve us.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20£18 is two short of 20. That means it's minus 27.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Which is two, six, seven, that's minus 92.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- OK, minus £92?- I think I could weep.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- We'll chat it all through in a minute.- Thank you.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- Don't say a word to the Reds. - No, we won't.- Thank you.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46We have, um, had an appalling day, basically.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48And for one particular team, it's been more than appalling
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- and that team happens to be the Reds.- Oh!
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Yes... I'm sorry about that.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56I got it the wrong way round!
0:41:56 > 0:41:57Ohhh!
0:41:57 > 0:41:59It's actually the Blues!
0:41:59 > 0:42:01CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:42:01 > 0:42:06Doesn't happen often, but we might as well revel in it! There we are.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- These girls!- I was sure! - Anyway, it's the Blues.- Excellent.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Haven't done so well. Actually, it's really, really bad, isn't it?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Minus £65 and then you went with the bonus buy
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- and then it finished up at minus 92. Really wasn't so hot.- Not really.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- We'll gloss over that, has it been fun?- It's been wonderful.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27It's been marvellous seeing you both.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Thank you very much, David, for nothing.- Thank you!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Anyway, Reds, so, you're victorious.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I'm sorry to give you a nasty turn like that.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37You did make a profit, a beautiful profit, a beautiful,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- beautiful profit on your Lalique. - A weenie one.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42On your Lalique fawn, that was marvellous.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- And then the sporran, that made a profit, didn't it?- Yeah.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49Little hairy profit. Not much of a profit, but there we are.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53- Otherwise, nothing to write home about.- Sadly, no, which is a shame.
0:42:53 > 0:42:57- But anyway, there we are. Had a good time, Val?- Fabulous.- Luce?
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Fantastic day.- Kate?- Fantastic day. - We've loved having you.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- Yes!
