Today, we've come to the largest island in Wales | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
where we've herded up two teams who are literally chomping at the bit | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
and gagging to get out there at all those bargains. | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
Anglesey, are you ready? Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah! | 0:00:15 | 0:00:21 | |
'On today's show, let's meet the teams.' | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
So our bargain hunters today are, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
for the Reds, father and daughter team, Bob and Debs, | 0:00:47 | 0:00:53 | |
and for the Blues, mother and daughter team, Edna and Lisa. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:57 | |
-Hello, everyone. -ALL: Hello! -Hello, lovely to see you. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Now, Bob, you're retired now, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:01 | |
but what did you get up to when you were in the old gainful? | 0:01:01 | 0:01:04 | |
Er, right, I was in the Merseyside Police until 2006 | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
-and I retired as an inspector. -Did you? | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
And I was responsible in my latter years for the command and control | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
of spontaneous, major, serious and critical incidents. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
And you've survived, more to the point, | 0:01:17 | 0:01:19 | |
-and are enjoying a well-earned retirement, I hope. -I am indeed. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
Yeah, I bet you are. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:24 | |
-Now, Debs, it says here that you're a bit crafty. Is that right? -Yes. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
Or at least a craft-er. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
Yes, I do lots of different things, turn me hand to anything, | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
cross-stitching, making me own cards, baking cakes. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
You're also drawn towards things a bit ghoulish? | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Yeah, I love anything sort of apocalyptic, world-ending, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
planning the survival of the human race, you know. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:01:44 | 0:01:45 | |
Anyway, everybody has their bit of fun, I suppose. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
OK, well, moving on. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
-Edna, you describe life as a great adventure. -Oh, yes, it is. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:54 | |
I started off as a confectioner, | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
then I went catering, | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
and then I went into the "wet side", as I like to call it, | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
which is the publican side. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Then I joined the military as a NAAFI manageress. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:10 | |
Now, Lisa, you're a fitness fanatic? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Yes, I am, yes, I do like my fitness, | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
-I must admit. -Which is your favourite bit of the fitness? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
I really enjoy my triathlons, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
because it's the three different disciplines, so altogether... | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
I enjoy swimming, I enjoy cycling and I enjoy running, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
but altogether I just enjoy the whole variety of it. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-The whole package? -Yes, I do. -Brilliant, very nice. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
Now, there's your £300. £300 apiece. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go! | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
And, gosh, what lovely teams today. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
So who are our experts? | 0:02:40 | 0:02:42 | |
Well, hoping to whip the Reds into action, it's Christina Trevanion. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:48 | |
And harping on about antiques for the Blues, we have Paul Laidlaw. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
We're going to have fun today, teams. Get shopping! | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
This inkwell that caught your eye - I think it's a lovely thing. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
If you feel the weight of it, you can tell it's a quality piece. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
What's really nice about it is that I've just spotted, | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |
we've actually got a registration lozenge here which will be | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
able to tell us exactly the date when it was produced. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-Can I feel the weight of it? -Of course you can. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
-Oh, that is heavy, isn't it? -It is heavy. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
I think 145 is a lot of money for it. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
If that came into my auction house, I'd be looking at maybe £60-£100. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:28 | |
Having said that, it's a nice thing, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
and nice quality things are selling well. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-I love the fact that it's still got its liner. -Yep. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
If it didn't have that, not so popular. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
-Let's ask the man. -Let's ask him, see what he says. -Will we say 60-80? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
Because it's silver plate... | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
You'd have to get it down by half, though. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
-Hello! -Hello. -How are you, are you well? | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
I'm well, thank you. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
What's your absolute death on this? You've got 140 on it. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
-£80. -You couldn't do £60? -Couldn't do 60. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
-Could we meet somewhere in the middle? -75 is my rock, rock bottom. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
I think for £75 we should buy it | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
and then run! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:08 | |
CHRISTINA LAUGHS Yes, before he changes his mind. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
I think you're right, Bob. That poor man. But one down. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Ah-ha! What's Lisa spied here? | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-Ah, what's that? -Oh, gosh. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
A spy camera. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
Could we have a little look at that, please? I do like that. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
What do you think, Paul? I do like that. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
It's a cool thing, I'm no authority. Good cameras will always sell. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
It's boys and their toys, it's instrumentation, it's gadgets. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
-Ah. -What do you think, Mum? -Yes. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-PAUL: -And none of your 10 megapixel here. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:39 | |
That's on to roll film, you know, it's an amazing piece of technology. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:44 | |
-68. Could you be kind? -50. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-Could you possibly squeeze, please? -MAN: -OK, 48. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
-PAUL: -Oh, I thought you were going to say 40! | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-No, no. -What about 45? -What about 45? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-PAUL: -They're going in for the kill. -MAN: -45, go on, then. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
Ah, deal! Lovely, thank you so much, that's so kind. Thank you. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:04 | |
Lovely, thank you very much. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:05 | |
Good spot there, Lisa. Or should I say Miss Moneypenny? | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
Now, is anything shaking up those Reds? | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Anything in here that really makes you go, | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
"Wow, I want to have a look at that?" | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
-There's some Tiffany in there as well. -Oh, yeah, good spot! | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
We'll have a quick little squizz. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:20 | |
So we've got a nice mark on there, Tiffany & Co, 1837. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
925, which shows it's a 925 standard of silver. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Do you want to try it on, see what it looks like? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
It is quite modern, you know, it's not an antique. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:32 | |
What's your thoughts? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:33 | |
So perfect, in the original box, | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
-Tiffany & Co. How old? -1997. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:39 | |
I don't think somebody's going to buy that to stick in a box | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
-and put it away. I think they're going to buy it to wear it. -Yeah. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:46 | |
And on that basis, I think we should give it a go. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
Do you want to...? (Offer her 50, she likes you.) | 0:05:49 | 0:05:53 | |
-She likes who? -(You.) | 0:05:53 | 0:05:54 | |
-Me?! -(Yeah.) -Who doesn't? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-(Go on, go on). -(Why's it always me?) | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-Excuse me? -I'm looking for the box, can't find it. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
Is that the absolute death on that? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
I said 60, didn't I? 55 and that's the absolute death. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
-Then at £55, I'll take it off your hands. -OK, go on, then. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
THEY CHEER AND LAUGH | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
Great job, Bob. This is all going rather swimmingly for you, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
and the Blues are hoping to ring up their second purchase too. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
What on earth is that? Is that just an ornament? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
-That's a pocket watch stand. -Really? -Yes. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-I think it's missing a little hook. See that little hole there? -Oh, yes! | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
Just a tiny little hook, and you hook the bow of your pocket watch | 0:06:31 | 0:06:34 | |
over that, stick it beside your bed. It's great, isn't it? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
-That's interesting. -I think it's great. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
It's Staffordshire earthenware. 1860? | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
I just think it's another quirky thing. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
I was going to just dismiss that, but it's OK. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-People are going to ask about it as well, aren't they? -Yeah! | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
Like I did, "What is it?" | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
What is it worth? £20-£40. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
So, it's no' a lot. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-It's on the money, it's very fairly priced. -Yeah, yeah. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:00 | |
-We're quite liking this. MAN: -That's nice, OK. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
Yes, drawn our attention. Now, we say, 35, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
what is your best price, what could you do it for? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
£28 is the best on that. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
You couldn't go to 24? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
25 sounds a bit better. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:16 | |
See, I'm a bit funny, I don't like odd numbers, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
I only like evens, so how about 22? PAUL AND EDNA LAUGH | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-PAUL: -You can't go backwards - that's a breach of etiquette. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-I'm going to be judge here. -24. -24's fantastic. -Brilliant. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-OK, yes, that's lovely. -Well done, folks. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Don't like odd numbers, eh? I've heard it all now. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
But well done, Blues, that's your second item in the old bag. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:38 | |
Now, what's caught Christina's eye? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
What do you think of that? | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
Arts and Crafts, brass, obviously, mirror there. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
But it's really quite nice. What do you think? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-It's absolutely awful. -It's horrible. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
Don't hold back now, Bob. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
Another no for the Reds, | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
but Edna has found a novelty letter-opener. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
-A lady's shoe. -Do you know, it is Tunbridge ware inlaid. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:03 | |
I've heard of that word. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:04 | |
And Tunbridge ware can be adequately described as micro-mosaic, | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
where the tessarae, | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
the little elements that make up the pattern, are little pieces of wood. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
Date-wise, it's going to be third quarter of the 19th century, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
-1850-1870, let's say. -Right, OK. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
And it's all inlaid on a burr veneer. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-And it's modelled as a slipper! -It's lovely, isn't it? | 0:08:24 | 0:08:29 | |
It's worth £15-£25, being cautious. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
It's worth £15-£25 under the hammer and it's priced at £33. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |
If we could get it at the right price, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:39 | |
would you still be interested? | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-Don't know. -No. -I don't know. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
Unless you're a collector of letter-openers, or... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
It's one for the Tunbridge collector. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
-Yeah, let's think about it. -OK, we know where it is. -Exactly. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Yep, it's a thinker. But your time is running out. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
How will this advertising sign go down? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
Bear Brand Stockings. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
-It's awful. -It's mad. -Is it free? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
CHRISTINA LAUGHS | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
I just think it's a bit of fun, you wanted quirky. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
OK, I grant you it's not a zombie, it's not apocalyptic. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
It's scarier than a zombie. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:13 | |
I think they want to fire you. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:14 | |
Now, three minutes to go, and it's crunch time for the Blues. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
Only thing that was an option, but we rejected, was...? | 0:09:18 | 0:09:22 | |
The letter-opener, yes. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
And I think you might get it for £15, which is my low estimate. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-That would be good. -Yes. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:28 | |
That would be good, cos I feel we would get something on that, yeah. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
-Are you telling me to do it? -Yes, please, Paul. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-If we can get it for...? -£15. -It's a sale. -It's a sale, done. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-Give me a minute. -OK. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:38 | |
Fingers crossed, then, Blues. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
And the pressure is on for the Reds too. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-What about this little chappy on here? Tinplate toy. -Strange. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
This is rather sweet, this is a little wind-up, | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
clockwork little sparrow on there. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
BOWL RATTLES | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-That is so cute. -What do you think? -Yep. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
Do you like him? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
I think that that's marvellous. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
I think he's just a bit of fun, isn't he? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
What's he got on him? 12 quid. I think it's probably Japanese. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
There is a little mark on there that I don't know. I really don't think | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
it's got a huge amount of age to it, but I'd be happy at £5 or £10. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
I don't think you can go wrong on that. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:13 | |
-Right, Dad? -Yes. -Go and do your worst/best, OK? | 0:10:13 | 0:10:18 | |
-I knew you were going to ask me this. -Go on, you're brilliant at it. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
But I'm terrible at it, I'm upsetting everybody in the hall. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:24 | |
-I'm going to have to run now! -Go on, you can do it, go on. -OK, OK, OK. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:28 | |
-Make it happen. -Yeah! -It's marvellous, and we really like it. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:33 | |
-Good. -How much could we have that for, please? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
I can do it for £5 for you. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
I think, at £5, I'm going to shake your hand on it. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
-Hopefully you'll do well. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
What did we get it for? £5. Oh, put it here, give me five! | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-Whoo! Well done. -I'm not doing that again! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
You don't need to - that's the last one! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |
Well done, Reds, that's your third item bought, | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
and Paul has some news for the Blues. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
Right, we've got about a minute to go, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
and she won't give us it for £15. What are we going to do? | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
-Will you come...? -Just kidding! | 0:11:05 | 0:11:06 | |
-Oh, you're a teaser! -Well done, Paul, love it! | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
-£15, how badly wrong can it go? -Excellent! -Brilliant! | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
So, time's up, teams. Crikey, that was close. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, eh? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
They paid £75 for the silver-plated reticulated inkwell. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
£55 was spent on the solid silver Tiffany cuff bracelet. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
And they paid £5 for the tin-plated enamel mechanical bird. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
Are they twits? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
You've enjoyed your hour with Christina, have you? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
It's been an absolute nightmare! | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-She's trouble. From the start! -I know. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
But you bought some nice items, though, didn't you? | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
-We did brilliantly, she was great. -How much did you spend? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
Er, 135. | 0:11:53 | 0:11:54 | |
£135. I would like £165, please. | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
Thank you. You're a policeman. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
I have no need to count it. I just hand it straight over | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
to the chairman. What are you going to do with that lot? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
I think we are going to try and go with... | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
Everything we've bought is a little bit small and quite petite, | 0:12:11 | 0:12:14 | |
-so I'm going to go big. -Are you? | 0:12:14 | 0:12:15 | |
-Yep. -Good luck, Christina. Meanwhile, we're going to check out | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
what the Blue team bought. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:20 | |
They hunted out the mechanical spy camera for £45. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
They paid £24 for the 19th-century Staffordshire pottery | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
pocket-watch holder, as you do. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
And, finally, they bought the 19th-century, wooden, | 0:12:31 | 0:12:35 | |
shoe-shaped letter-opener for £15. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
-Edna, Lisa, was that good? -Excellent. -Really, really good. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
What was the best bit about the shopping for you? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
-Being with Paul Laidlaw? -The whole time, we laughed, which was lovely. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-And how much did you spend? -Not a lot. £80...? -£84. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:53 | |
-Is that all?! -Yes. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:54 | |
-We drive hard bargains. -We did, we knocked them down a lot! | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
-That would be 216, I think. 216. Who's got the 216? -I have. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
-I have it safe. -Thank you very much. 216. Paul. -Thank you, Tim. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
Good fun with our girls? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
Ah, it was one of the best. We had a... It was a laugh. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
You couldn't have scripted it. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
Anyway, good luck in finding your bonus buy. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
We've travelled to Frank Marshall's Salerooms in Knutsford | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
for today's auction to meet auctioneer Nick Hall. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:26 | |
-How lovely it is to be here, Nick. -Good to see you, Tim. Welcome. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
Thank you for having us. Now, we've got rather a pleasant mixture | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
-of goods out of our teams today. -Yeah. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
For the Reds, kicking on, is this inkwell, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
in the medieval style, with a lozenge mark. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-Yep. -Rather nice, isn't it? -It's not bad at all, that sort of | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
medieval-revival era, late Victorian. Good condition, as well. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-OK, how much? -50-80 on that. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
Is that all? £75 paid. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-Yeah. -Might take off. -If it makes the top end of the estimate, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-they're in profit. -Next, solid silver, with loads of potential. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
It's got the name, it's solid silver, the original packaging and box. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:03 | |
-It's just a nice, complete, saleable lot. -How much? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
I like that. £60-£100. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:07 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -£55, they paid. -That was a good buy. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
-And for a bit of fun, the tin-plate tit. -Yeah. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:14 | |
It's a good, fun little object. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:15 | |
And the clockwork mechanism is in working order. The key is present. | 0:14:15 | 0:14:18 | |
-All good bonus things. -Excellent. How much? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:21 | |
We've gone a rockin' robin £10-£20. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
-Have you really? That's perfect. £5 paid. -Brilliant. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
Very good. This team are going to be home and dry, I reckon. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
They don't need their bonus buy, for a change, but let's look at it. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:34 | |
So, team, you spent £135. You gave the girl £165. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:39 | |
-Yeah! -She's known to be a spendthrift of the worst variety. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-Reveal all, Christina. -Ready? -Over to you. -I have to confess, | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
I bought this | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
because it rather reminded me of somebody! | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
Right... | 0:14:51 | 0:14:52 | |
-Yes, it does a little. -THEY LAUGH | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
-What is that? -With love, of course. He's a very collectible little toad. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
People love toads - | 0:14:58 | 0:14:59 | |
they're a symbol of good luck - and I spent all of £5 on him. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-What do you think? -It's ugly, but if it makes money, | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
that's all that matters. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
-I think it's absolutely horrible. -It is. -You're right there, Bob. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
It doesn't matter what YOU think of it - it's what collectors think | 0:15:12 | 0:15:16 | |
of it, and there are collectors for toads and frogs and... | 0:15:16 | 0:15:18 | |
How much do you think this will make? | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
-I think he's lovely. I think he's got to be 20-30 quid. -Why do you think it reminds...? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:24 | |
-I can't think(!) -LAUGHTER | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
OK, now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
thinks about Christina's little toad. Ribbit! | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Right, then, Nick, I'll just let this thing hop over. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
-OK. -Nice and knobbly, isn't it? -What can we say? | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-I think it's just charming. -It's a bit of novelty pottery. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
There is an obscured mark underneath it, and we can make out the word | 0:15:42 | 0:15:46 | |
-"Pottery", so it's a UK piece. -Yes. -It's the factory name that's just | 0:15:46 | 0:15:49 | |
completely worn away. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:50 | |
We can't make out which factory it was. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
OK, so how much, then? | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
-We've put 20-30 on him. -That is a leap of faith, because Christina | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
only paid a £5 note. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-And it's a bonus buy. -She'll be hopping up and down | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
-at the back of the sale, hopefully. -Hopefully. Right, that's it | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
for the Reds. Now for the Blues. We kick off with the spy camera. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-That's quite a cool thing. -Isn't it? | 0:16:09 | 0:16:11 | |
I don't know how the market perceives these cameras these days, | 0:16:11 | 0:16:16 | |
but generally speaking, mechanical cameras are on the up and up? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Yeah, we've noticed that. We've had some very good results of late, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
with the rare and collectable end of the market. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
This is an unusual one. I've not seen this one before. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
-We think it's quite a good thing. -Mm. So, estimate-wise? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
Well, we've gone for a spy-tastic 60-100 on this. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
You've done really well. £45 is all they paid. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
-Not a bad buy. -Next, is the Staffordshire model of a castle, | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
as a watch case. I'm not so keen on that. Are you? | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
Not very, no. This is the end of the market that has just died a death. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:50 | |
These plainer Staffordshire pieces, we really struggle. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
In fact, we normally sell these in quite large groups of lots now. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
-OK, how much? -£10-£15. -OK, £24 paid. -Hmm. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:01 | |
Be interesting to see what happens with that. Then we have got this | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
-so-called Tunbridge ware. -Yes. -Tunbridge Wells, then, or not? | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Well, anything generically with these little micro-cuts of timber in | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
always get called Tunbridge ware, but I'm pretty sure, actually, | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
it's more Tuscan than Tunbridge. It's a little bit of Italian ware. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-Probably Sorrento. -Yeah. -But it's a perfectly nice thing. How much? | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
It's decorative. £15-£25. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-OK, £15 paid. -OK. Good. -But because we think | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
the camera's going to do so jolly well, they're not going to need | 0:17:29 | 0:17:33 | |
their bonus buy, but let's look at it. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:35 | |
Girls, you only spent £84. I can't believe it. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
Good bargaining, Tim. Good bargainers. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
You certainly are. £216 went to your man. Paul, what did you spend it on? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:46 | |
Well, you bought a Staffordshire watch stand. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-Yes, we did. -You needed a watch, didn't you? -Oh! | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
PAUL LAUGHS Excellent. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
I think it is very good. Excellent, as well. Now, this is, | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
let me tell you, this is the technicalities. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
This is a pair-cased verge watch. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
Pair-cased, because it has a pair of cases. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
-Oh! -OK? And verge refers to the movement. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-That's what it is. -OK. All right, so how many pennies did you spend | 0:18:10 | 0:18:14 | |
-on that lovely watch? -A lot. -Go on, then. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
£135. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
THEY SHRIEK | 0:18:17 | 0:18:19 | |
Look what you've done, Paul! | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
-Don't need a chair, love, do you? -I'm all right! | 0:18:22 | 0:18:25 | |
Some of these big shocks can be big, can't they? | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
This is worth, in my opinion, £120-£180. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:33 | |
-Really? -That's the price for any respectable | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
pair-cased verge in a silver case. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:37 | |
-OK. -And I think we should be OK with that. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
Anyway, you don't actually have | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
to decide right now. You can choose after the sale of your three items, | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
but let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks about | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
Paul's pair-cased watch. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:51 | |
-OK, Nick, so solid silver, yes? -It is. It is nicely hallmarked at Chester, | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
so it is local. | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
It's in nice condition, as well, and it's got quite a nice little | 0:18:58 | 0:19:02 | |
movement in there. It's got this lovely pierced cock plate on the top. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:07 | |
Fusee movement. We've got the maker's name on there, which, | 0:19:07 | 0:19:11 | |
of course, is from the Lake District, | 0:19:11 | 0:19:14 | |
although it could well have been made in or around the Lancashire area. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
But the whole thing has got a nice north-west gel about it, | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
so it's being sold in the right place. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
And in, overall, pretty good, usable, wearable condition. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
What is your best estimate, then? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Well, we've gone £60-£100, but I think it could make over the 100. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:37 | |
Well, it needs to, cos he's paid £135 and he obviously rates it. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
-Yeah. -But, anyway, we'll see. That's the excitement of the auction. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:45 | |
-Absolutely. -Absolutely. | 0:19:45 | 0:19:46 | |
-What we have is some excitement. -Just a little bit! | 0:19:53 | 0:19:58 | |
Now, first up is the high-risk strategy, | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
which is your lovely inkwell. Here it comes. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:04 | |
The silver-plated inkwell. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:06 | |
Smart-looking lot, this. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
Who's got a desk to sit this on? | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
£80 for it. 60? 50? | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |
50. Come on. Good quality. Late Victorian, | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |

-Cheap. -That's so cheap. -Where is the 5? Anywhere else? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
Nothing online? It's £40 in the room. At £40. Going once, twice... | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
-£40, only. -£40 is minus £35. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:35 | |
Oh, darling, this is just rotten. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:39 | |
Lot number 119. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
Another great name here, Tiffany & Co. A .925 silver | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
cuff bracelet. What's it worth? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
£80? £60? £50, come on. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
Who'll start me off at £50? Surely? Thank you, sir, | 0:20:49 | 0:20:52 | |
-50, I am bid. At 50. Any advance on 50? -Come on. One more, one more. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:56 | |
-At £50. 5, online. Still in? -I'm going to cry! -He's back, he's back. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:02 | |
At 60, now. Any advance on 60? The bid's in the room, on my left, | 0:21:02 | 0:21:05 | |
at 60. And 5. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:06 | |
-It's creeping up, it's creeping up. -£70. Look at the quality. It's £70. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
70, and selling. All sure and done? | 0:21:10 | 0:21:12 | |
-Yes! -£70. Well done, Debs. I'm so pleased, darling. That's plus £15. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:19 | |
Isn't that brilliant? | 0:21:19 | 0:21:21 | |
Anyway, there we are. You are currently minus 20, OK? | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
Now, here comes the old bird. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
Tin-plate mechanical bird. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
Nicely enamelled and it's got the original key with it, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:33 | |
which is important. Come on, £20? £15? £10? Thank you. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:37 | |
10, I am bid, on my right. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Any advance on 10? And the clockwork works. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:42 | |
At 15. 20. 5. 30. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:46 | |
35. 40. 45. 45, on my right. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:50 | |
At 45. Anyone else? All sure? | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
£45, and selling. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:55 | |
-£45. -Brilliant! -That is ridiculous! £45. Plus 40. That's plus 40 - | 0:21:55 | 0:22:03 | |
that's plus 40 - which means, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
overall, you are plus 20. That is really good. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-Are you going with the toad? -We're going to go with it. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
-Are you sure? -Definitely. -Are you sure? -Yes. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-Clearly, animals are very popular. -And cheap! Cheap animals! | 0:22:14 | 0:22:19 | |
Cheap, did you say?! | 0:22:19 | 0:22:21 | |
Lot 124, is the mid 20th-century, green-glazed model of a toad. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
Where are we going to go? What's it worth? £30? | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
-25? 20, for it. -Come on. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-£20, only. It's not dear. Come on. -It's not "dear" - it's a frog. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
Who's in at £20? £15? 10? | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Thank you, madam. 10, I am bid. Any advance on 10? | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
Come on, let's get some hands up. At £10. Internet's gone quiet. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
-Oh! -With you, madam, at £10. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
I'm waiting for someone else to come in! | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
15. They are! Thank you. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:52 | |
£15. You're out? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
It's £15, on my right. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
£15m online, 15, I sell. | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |

That Staffordshire...lump? | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
-Yes. I am, yes. -The trouble is it is such a fashion thing, | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |

-I knew it would do well! Brilliant! -So fantastic. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
The excitement. Dear, oh, dear. Now, don't say a word to the Reds. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
Shut up, all round. Look miserable. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
-I'll try! -Yeah. Difficult for you, though, isn't it? | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
No wonder they call you Dame Edna! | 0:27:14 | 0:27:16 | |

-Oh! -Isn't that nice? It's just a question of scale. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |

are the Reds. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
ALL: Aw! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:40 | |

in the seat of the pants. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |

THEY CHEER | 0:28:00 | 0:28:01 | |
They were going home with absolutely nothing, until a small shoe appeared | 0:28:01 | 0:28:06 | |
on the horizon and made £110, right? Out of nowhere, how did that happen? | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
-Yes, it was marvellous. -It was marvellous, and I think | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
you're the heroine of the piece, truffling it out to start off with. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
-Excellent. -Did you enjoy it? -Thoroughly brilliant. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
