Today, we've come to the largest island in Wales

0:00:030:00:07

where we've herded up two teams who are literally chomping at the bit

0:00:070:00:11

and gagging to get out there at all those bargains.

0:00:110:00:15

Anglesey, are you ready? Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!

0:00:150:00:21

'On today's show, let's meet the teams.'

0:00:420:00:45

So our bargain hunters today are,

0:00:450:00:47

for the Reds, father and daughter team, Bob and Debs,

0:00:470:00:53

and for the Blues, mother and daughter team, Edna and Lisa.

0:00:530:00:57

-Hello, everyone.

-ALL: Hello!

-Hello, lovely to see you.

0:00:570:01:00

Now, Bob, you're retired now,

0:01:000:01:01

but what did you get up to when you were in the old gainful?

0:01:010:01:04

Er, right, I was in the Merseyside Police until 2006

0:01:040:01:07

-and I retired as an inspector.

-Did you?

0:01:070:01:09

And I was responsible in my latter years for the command and control

0:01:090:01:14

of spontaneous, major, serious and critical incidents.

0:01:140:01:17

And you've survived, more to the point,

0:01:170:01:19

-and are enjoying a well-earned retirement, I hope.

-I am indeed.

0:01:190:01:22

Yeah, I bet you are.

0:01:220:01:24

-Now, Debs, it says here that you're a bit crafty. Is that right?

-Yes.

0:01:240:01:27

Or at least a craft-er.

0:01:270:01:28

Yes, I do lots of different things, turn me hand to anything,

0:01:280:01:31

cross-stitching, making me own cards, baking cakes.

0:01:310:01:34

You're also drawn towards things a bit ghoulish?

0:01:340:01:37

Yeah, I love anything sort of apocalyptic, world-ending,

0:01:370:01:41

planning the survival of the human race, you know.

0:01:410:01:44

SHE LAUGHS

0:01:440:01:45

Anyway, everybody has their bit of fun, I suppose.

0:01:450:01:48

OK, well, moving on.

0:01:480:01:50

-Edna, you describe life as a great adventure.

-Oh, yes, it is.

0:01:500:01:54

I started off as a confectioner,

0:01:540:01:57

then I went catering,

0:01:570:02:00

and then I went into the "wet side", as I like to call it,

0:02:000:02:03

which is the publican side.

0:02:030:02:05

Then I joined the military as a NAAFI manageress.

0:02:050:02:10

Now, Lisa, you're a fitness fanatic?

0:02:100:02:12

Yes, I am, yes, I do like my fitness,

0:02:120:02:14

-I must admit.

-Which is your favourite bit of the fitness?

0:02:140:02:17

I really enjoy my triathlons,

0:02:170:02:19

because it's the three different disciplines, so altogether...

0:02:190:02:23

I enjoy swimming, I enjoy cycling and I enjoy running,

0:02:230:02:25

but altogether I just enjoy the whole variety of it.

0:02:250:02:28

-The whole package?

-Yes, I do.

-Brilliant, very nice.

0:02:280:02:31

Now, there's your £300. £300 apiece.

0:02:310:02:34

You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!

0:02:340:02:37

And, gosh, what lovely teams today.

0:02:370:02:39

So who are our experts?

0:02:400:02:42

Well, hoping to whip the Reds into action, it's Christina Trevanion.

0:02:420:02:48

And harping on about antiques for the Blues, we have Paul Laidlaw.

0:02:480:02:52

We're going to have fun today, teams. Get shopping!

0:02:540:02:58

This inkwell that caught your eye - I think it's a lovely thing.

0:02:590:03:04

If you feel the weight of it, you can tell it's a quality piece.

0:03:040:03:07

What's really nice about it is that I've just spotted,

0:03:070:03:09

we've actually got a registration lozenge here which will be

0:03:090:03:12

able to tell us exactly the date when it was produced.

0:03:120:03:16

-Can I feel the weight of it?

-Of course you can.

0:03:160:03:17

-Oh, that is heavy, isn't it?

-It is heavy.

0:03:170:03:20

I think 145 is a lot of money for it.

0:03:200:03:22

If that came into my auction house, I'd be looking at maybe £60-£100.

0:03:220:03:28

Having said that, it's a nice thing,

0:03:280:03:30

and nice quality things are selling well.

0:03:300:03:32

-I love the fact that it's still got its liner.

-Yep.

0:03:320:03:35

If it didn't have that, not so popular.

0:03:350:03:37

-Let's ask the man.

-Let's ask him, see what he says.

-Will we say 60-80?

0:03:380:03:43

Because it's silver plate...

0:03:430:03:44

You'd have to get it down by half, though.

0:03:440:03:47

-Hello!

-Hello.

-How are you, are you well?

0:03:470:03:49

I'm well, thank you.

0:03:490:03:51

What's your absolute death on this? You've got 140 on it.

0:03:510:03:55

-£80.

-You couldn't do £60?

-Couldn't do 60.

0:03:550:03:58

-Could we meet somewhere in the middle?

-75 is my rock, rock bottom.

0:03:580:04:02

I think for £75 we should buy it

0:04:040:04:07

and then run!

0:04:070:04:08

CHRISTINA LAUGHS Yes, before he changes his mind.

0:04:080:04:11

I think you're right, Bob. That poor man. But one down.

0:04:110:04:14

Ah-ha! What's Lisa spied here?

0:04:150:04:18

-Ah, what's that?

-Oh, gosh.

0:04:180:04:20

A spy camera.

0:04:200:04:21

Could we have a little look at that, please? I do like that.

0:04:210:04:24

What do you think, Paul? I do like that.

0:04:240:04:26

It's a cool thing, I'm no authority. Good cameras will always sell.

0:04:260:04:30

It's boys and their toys, it's instrumentation, it's gadgets.

0:04:300:04:33

-Ah.

-What do you think, Mum?

-Yes.

0:04:330:04:36

-PAUL:

-And none of your 10 megapixel here.

0:04:360:04:39

That's on to roll film, you know, it's an amazing piece of technology.

0:04:390:04:44

-68. Could you be kind?

-50.

0:04:440:04:47

-Could you possibly squeeze, please?

-MAN:

-OK, 48.

0:04:470:04:51

-PAUL:

-Oh, I thought you were going to say 40!

0:04:510:04:53

-No, no.

-What about 45?

-What about 45?

0:04:530:04:57

-PAUL:

-They're going in for the kill.

-MAN:

-45, go on, then.

0:04:570:05:00

Ah, deal! Lovely, thank you so much, that's so kind. Thank you.

0:05:000:05:04

Lovely, thank you very much.

0:05:040:05:05

Good spot there, Lisa. Or should I say Miss Moneypenny?

0:05:050:05:09

Now, is anything shaking up those Reds?

0:05:090:05:12

Anything in here that really makes you go,

0:05:120:05:14

"Wow, I want to have a look at that?"

0:05:140:05:16

-There's some Tiffany in there as well.

-Oh, yeah, good spot!

0:05:160:05:19

We'll have a quick little squizz.

0:05:190:05:20

So we've got a nice mark on there, Tiffany & Co, 1837.

0:05:220:05:25

925, which shows it's a 925 standard of silver.

0:05:250:05:27

Do you want to try it on, see what it looks like?

0:05:270:05:30

It is quite modern, you know, it's not an antique.

0:05:300:05:32

What's your thoughts?

0:05:320:05:33

So perfect, in the original box,

0:05:330:05:36

-Tiffany & Co. How old?

-1997.

0:05:360:05:39

I don't think somebody's going to buy that to stick in a box

0:05:390:05:42

-and put it away. I think they're going to buy it to wear it.

-Yeah.

0:05:420:05:46

And on that basis, I think we should give it a go.

0:05:460:05:49

Do you want to...? (Offer her 50, she likes you.)

0:05:490:05:53

-She likes who?

-(You.)

0:05:530:05:54

-Me?!

-(Yeah.)

-Who doesn't?

0:05:540:05:56

-(Go on, go on).

-(Why's it always me?)

0:05:560:05:59

-Excuse me?

-I'm looking for the box, can't find it.

0:05:590:06:03

Is that the absolute death on that?

0:06:030:06:05

I said 60, didn't I? 55 and that's the absolute death.

0:06:050:06:09

-Then at £55, I'll take it off your hands.

-OK, go on, then.

0:06:090:06:12

THEY CHEER AND LAUGH

0:06:120:06:14

Great job, Bob. This is all going rather swimmingly for you,

0:06:140:06:18

and the Blues are hoping to ring up their second purchase too.

0:06:180:06:21

What on earth is that? Is that just an ornament?

0:06:210:06:24

-That's a pocket watch stand.

-Really?

-Yes.

0:06:240:06:27

-I think it's missing a little hook. See that little hole there?

-Oh, yes!

0:06:270:06:31

Just a tiny little hook, and you hook the bow of your pocket watch

0:06:310:06:34

over that, stick it beside your bed. It's great, isn't it?

0:06:340:06:37

-That's interesting.

-I think it's great.

0:06:370:06:39

It's Staffordshire earthenware. 1860?

0:06:390:06:41

I just think it's another quirky thing.

0:06:410:06:44

I was going to just dismiss that, but it's OK.

0:06:440:06:47

-People are going to ask about it as well, aren't they?

-Yeah!

0:06:470:06:50

Like I did, "What is it?"

0:06:500:06:52

What is it worth? £20-£40.

0:06:520:06:55

So, it's no' a lot.

0:06:550:06:58

-It's on the money, it's very fairly priced.

-Yeah, yeah.

0:06:580:07:00

-We're quite liking this. MAN:

-That's nice, OK.

0:07:000:07:04

Yes, drawn our attention. Now, we say, 35,

0:07:040:07:06

what is your best price, what could you do it for?

0:07:060:07:09

£28 is the best on that.

0:07:090:07:11

You couldn't go to 24?

0:07:110:07:15

25 sounds a bit better.

0:07:150:07:16

See, I'm a bit funny, I don't like odd numbers,

0:07:160:07:19

I only like evens, so how about 22? PAUL AND EDNA LAUGH

0:07:190:07:23

-PAUL:

-You can't go backwards - that's a breach of etiquette.

0:07:230:07:26

-I'm going to be judge here.

-24.

-24's fantastic.

-Brilliant.

0:07:260:07:29

-OK, yes, that's lovely.

-Well done, folks.

0:07:290:07:32

Don't like odd numbers, eh? I've heard it all now.

0:07:320:07:36

But well done, Blues, that's your second item in the old bag.

0:07:360:07:38

Now, what's caught Christina's eye?

0:07:380:07:40

What do you think of that?

0:07:400:07:42

Arts and Crafts, brass, obviously, mirror there.

0:07:420:07:46

But it's really quite nice. What do you think?

0:07:460:07:48

-It's absolutely awful.

-It's horrible.

0:07:480:07:51

Don't hold back now, Bob.

0:07:510:07:53

Another no for the Reds,

0:07:530:07:55

but Edna has found a novelty letter-opener.

0:07:550:07:58

-A lady's shoe.

-Do you know, it is Tunbridge ware inlaid.

0:07:580:08:03

I've heard of that word.

0:08:030:08:04

And Tunbridge ware can be adequately described as micro-mosaic,

0:08:040:08:08

where the tessarae,

0:08:080:08:10

the little elements that make up the pattern, are little pieces of wood.

0:08:100:08:14

Date-wise, it's going to be third quarter of the 19th century,

0:08:140:08:18

-1850-1870, let's say.

-Right, OK.

0:08:180:08:21

And it's all inlaid on a burr veneer.

0:08:210:08:24

-And it's modelled as a slipper!

-It's lovely, isn't it?

0:08:240:08:29

It's worth £15-£25, being cautious.

0:08:290:08:32

It's worth £15-£25 under the hammer and it's priced at £33.

0:08:320:08:37

If we could get it at the right price,

0:08:370:08:39

would you still be interested?

0:08:390:08:41

-Don't know.

-No.

-I don't know.

0:08:410:08:42

Unless you're a collector of letter-openers, or...

0:08:420:08:45

It's one for the Tunbridge collector.

0:08:450:08:47

-Yeah, let's think about it.

-OK, we know where it is.

-Exactly.

0:08:470:08:50

Yep, it's a thinker. But your time is running out.

0:08:500:08:53

How will this advertising sign go down?

0:08:560:08:58

Bear Brand Stockings.

0:08:580:09:00

-It's awful.

-It's mad.

-Is it free?

0:09:000:09:02

CHRISTINA LAUGHS

0:09:020:09:05

I just think it's a bit of fun, you wanted quirky.

0:09:050:09:07

OK, I grant you it's not a zombie, it's not apocalyptic.

0:09:070:09:12

It's scarier than a zombie.

0:09:120:09:13

I think they want to fire you.

0:09:130:09:14

Now, three minutes to go, and it's crunch time for the Blues.

0:09:140:09:18

Only thing that was an option, but we rejected, was...?

0:09:180:09:22

The letter-opener, yes.

0:09:220:09:24

And I think you might get it for £15, which is my low estimate.

0:09:240:09:27

-That would be good.

-Yes.

0:09:270:09:28

That would be good, cos I feel we would get something on that, yeah.

0:09:280:09:32

-Are you telling me to do it?

-Yes, please, Paul.

0:09:320:09:34

-If we can get it for...?

-£15.

-It's a sale.

-It's a sale, done.

0:09:340:09:37

-Give me a minute.

-OK.

0:09:370:09:38

Fingers crossed, then, Blues.

0:09:380:09:40

And the pressure is on for the Reds too.

0:09:400:09:43

-What about this little chappy on here? Tinplate toy.

-Strange.

0:09:430:09:46

This is rather sweet, this is a little wind-up,

0:09:460:09:50

clockwork little sparrow on there.

0:09:500:09:52

BOWL RATTLES

0:09:520:09:54

-That is so cute.

-What do you think?

-Yep.

0:09:540:09:56

Do you like him?

0:09:560:09:57

I think that that's marvellous.

0:09:570:10:00

I think he's just a bit of fun, isn't he?

0:10:000:10:02

What's he got on him? 12 quid. I think it's probably Japanese.

0:10:020:10:05

There is a little mark on there that I don't know. I really don't think

0:10:050:10:08

it's got a huge amount of age to it, but I'd be happy at £5 or £10.

0:10:080:10:11

I don't think you can go wrong on that.

0:10:110:10:13

-Right, Dad?

-Yes.

-Go and do your worst/best, OK?

0:10:130:10:18

-I knew you were going to ask me this.

-Go on, you're brilliant at it.

0:10:180:10:21

But I'm terrible at it, I'm upsetting everybody in the hall.

0:10:210:10:24

-I'm going to have to run now!

-Go on, you can do it, go on.

-OK, OK, OK.

0:10:240:10:28

-Make it happen.

-Yeah!

-It's marvellous, and we really like it.

0:10:280:10:33

-Good.

-How much could we have that for, please?

0:10:330:10:36

I can do it for £5 for you.

0:10:360:10:38

I think, at £5, I'm going to shake your hand on it.

0:10:380:10:41

Thank you very much.

0:10:410:10:42

-Hopefully you'll do well.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:10:420:10:45

What did we get it for? £5. Oh, put it here, give me five!

0:10:450:10:48

-Whoo! Well done.

-I'm not doing that again!

0:10:480:10:50

You don't need to - that's the last one!

0:10:500:10:52

Well done, Reds, that's your third item bought,

0:10:540:10:57

and Paul has some news for the Blues.

0:10:570:10:59

Right, we've got about a minute to go,

0:10:590:11:02

and she won't give us it for £15. What are we going to do?

0:11:020:11:05

-Will you come...?

-Just kidding!

0:11:050:11:06

-Oh, you're a teaser!

-Well done, Paul, love it!

0:11:070:11:11

-£15, how badly wrong can it go?

-Excellent!

-Brilliant!

0:11:110:11:14

So, time's up, teams. Crikey, that was close.

0:11:140:11:17

Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, eh?

0:11:170:11:20

They paid £75 for the silver-plated reticulated inkwell.

0:11:220:11:27

£55 was spent on the solid silver Tiffany cuff bracelet.

0:11:270:11:32

And they paid £5 for the tin-plated enamel mechanical bird.

0:11:320:11:36

Are they twits?

0:11:360:11:38

You've enjoyed your hour with Christina, have you?

0:11:380:11:40

It's been an absolute nightmare!

0:11:400:11:43

THEY LAUGH

0:11:430:11:45

-She's trouble. From the start!

-I know.

0:11:450:11:47

But you bought some nice items, though, didn't you?

0:11:470:11:50

-We did brilliantly, she was great.

-How much did you spend?

0:11:500:11:53

Er, 135.

0:11:530:11:54

£135. I would like £165, please.

0:11:540:12:00

Thank you. You're a policeman.

0:12:000:12:02

I have no need to count it. I just hand it straight over

0:12:020:12:05

to the chairman. What are you going to do with that lot?

0:12:050:12:09

I think we are going to try and go with...

0:12:090:12:11

Everything we've bought is a little bit small and quite petite,

0:12:110:12:14

-so I'm going to go big.

-Are you?

0:12:140:12:15

-Yep.

-Good luck, Christina. Meanwhile, we're going to check out

0:12:150:12:19

what the Blue team bought.

0:12:190:12:20

They hunted out the mechanical spy camera for £45.

0:12:200:12:25

They paid £24 for the 19th-century Staffordshire pottery

0:12:250:12:29

pocket-watch holder, as you do.

0:12:290:12:31

And, finally, they bought the 19th-century, wooden,

0:12:310:12:35

shoe-shaped letter-opener for £15.

0:12:350:12:37

-Edna, Lisa, was that good?

-Excellent.

-Really, really good.

0:12:390:12:42

What was the best bit about the shopping for you?

0:12:420:12:45

-Being with Paul Laidlaw?

-The whole time, we laughed, which was lovely.

0:12:450:12:49

-And how much did you spend?

-Not a lot. £80...?

-£84.

0:12:490:12:53

-Is that all?!

-Yes.

0:12:530:12:54

-We drive hard bargains.

-We did, we knocked them down a lot!

0:12:540:12:59

-That would be 216, I think. 216. Who's got the 216?

-I have.

0:12:590:13:03

-I have it safe.

-Thank you very much. 216. Paul.

-Thank you, Tim.

0:13:030:13:06

Good fun with our girls?

0:13:060:13:08

Ah, it was one of the best. We had a... It was a laugh.

0:13:080:13:11

You couldn't have scripted it.

0:13:110:13:13

Anyway, good luck in finding your bonus buy.

0:13:140:13:18

We've travelled to Frank Marshall's Salerooms in Knutsford

0:13:180:13:22

for today's auction to meet auctioneer Nick Hall.

0:13:220:13:26

-How lovely it is to be here, Nick.

-Good to see you, Tim. Welcome.

0:13:260:13:29

Thank you for having us. Now, we've got rather a pleasant mixture

0:13:290:13:33

-of goods out of our teams today.

-Yeah.

0:13:330:13:35

For the Reds, kicking on, is this inkwell,

0:13:350:13:38

in the medieval style, with a lozenge mark.

0:13:380:13:40

-Yep.

-Rather nice, isn't it?

-It's not bad at all, that sort of

0:13:400:13:44

medieval-revival era, late Victorian. Good condition, as well.

0:13:440:13:47

-OK, how much?

-50-80 on that.

0:13:470:13:49

Is that all? £75 paid.

0:13:490:13:51

-Yeah.

-Might take off.

-If it makes the top end of the estimate,

0:13:510:13:55

-they're in profit.

-Next, solid silver, with loads of potential.

0:13:550:13:59

It's got the name, it's solid silver, the original packaging and box.

0:13:590:14:03

-It's just a nice, complete, saleable lot.

-How much?

0:14:030:14:06

I like that. £60-£100.

0:14:060:14:07

-Really?

-Yeah.

-£55, they paid.

-That was a good buy.

0:14:070:14:11

-And for a bit of fun, the tin-plate tit.

-Yeah.

0:14:110:14:14

It's a good, fun little object.

0:14:140:14:15

And the clockwork mechanism is in working order. The key is present.

0:14:150:14:18

-All good bonus things.

-Excellent. How much?

0:14:180:14:21

We've gone a rockin' robin £10-£20.

0:14:210:14:24

-Have you really? That's perfect. £5 paid.

-Brilliant.

0:14:240:14:27

Very good. This team are going to be home and dry, I reckon.

0:14:270:14:30

They don't need their bonus buy, for a change, but let's look at it.

0:14:300:14:34

So, team, you spent £135. You gave the girl £165.

0:14:340:14:39

-Yeah!

-She's known to be a spendthrift of the worst variety.

0:14:390:14:42

-Reveal all, Christina.

-Ready?

-Over to you.

-I have to confess,

0:14:420:14:46

I bought this

0:14:460:14:47

because it rather reminded me of somebody!

0:14:470:14:51

Right...

0:14:510:14:52

-Yes, it does a little.

-THEY LAUGH

0:14:520:14:54

-What is that?

-With love, of course. He's a very collectible little toad.

0:14:540:14:58

People love toads -

0:14:580:14:59

they're a symbol of good luck - and I spent all of £5 on him.

0:14:590:15:03

-What do you think?

-It's ugly, but if it makes money,

0:15:030:15:06

that's all that matters.

0:15:060:15:08

-I think it's absolutely horrible.

-It is.

-You're right there, Bob.

0:15:080:15:12

It doesn't matter what YOU think of it - it's what collectors think

0:15:120:15:16

of it, and there are collectors for toads and frogs and...

0:15:160:15:18

How much do you think this will make?

0:15:180:15:20

-I think he's lovely. I think he's got to be 20-30 quid.

-Why do you think it reminds...?

0:15:200:15:24

-I can't think(!)

-LAUGHTER

0:15:240:15:26

OK, now, for the audience at home, let's find out what the auctioneer

0:15:260:15:30

thinks about Christina's little toad. Ribbit!

0:15:300:15:33

Right, then, Nick, I'll just let this thing hop over.

0:15:330:15:36

-OK.

-Nice and knobbly, isn't it?

-What can we say?

0:15:360:15:39

-I think it's just charming.

-It's a bit of novelty pottery.

0:15:390:15:42

There is an obscured mark underneath it, and we can make out the word

0:15:420:15:46

-"Pottery", so it's a UK piece.

-Yes.

-It's the factory name that's just

0:15:460:15:49

completely worn away.

0:15:490:15:50

We can't make out which factory it was.

0:15:500:15:53

OK, so how much, then?

0:15:530:15:55

-We've put 20-30 on him.

-That is a leap of faith, because Christina

0:15:550:15:58

only paid a £5 note.

0:15:580:16:00

-And it's a bonus buy.

-She'll be hopping up and down

0:16:000:16:03

-at the back of the sale, hopefully.

-Hopefully. Right, that's it

0:16:030:16:06

for the Reds. Now for the Blues. We kick off with the spy camera.

0:16:060:16:09

-That's quite a cool thing.

-Isn't it?

0:16:090:16:11

I don't know how the market perceives these cameras these days,

0:16:110:16:16

but generally speaking, mechanical cameras are on the up and up?

0:16:160:16:19

Yeah, we've noticed that. We've had some very good results of late,

0:16:190:16:22

with the rare and collectable end of the market.

0:16:220:16:25

This is an unusual one. I've not seen this one before.

0:16:250:16:28

-We think it's quite a good thing.

-Mm. So, estimate-wise?

0:16:280:16:31

Well, we've gone for a spy-tastic 60-100 on this.

0:16:310:16:35

You've done really well. £45 is all they paid.

0:16:350:16:37

-Not a bad buy.

-Next, is the Staffordshire model of a castle,

0:16:370:16:42

as a watch case. I'm not so keen on that. Are you?

0:16:420:16:45

Not very, no. This is the end of the market that has just died a death.

0:16:450:16:50

These plainer Staffordshire pieces, we really struggle.

0:16:500:16:54

In fact, we normally sell these in quite large groups of lots now.

0:16:540:16:57

-OK, how much?

-£10-£15.

-OK, £24 paid.

-Hmm.

0:16:570:17:01

Be interesting to see what happens with that. Then we have got this

0:17:010:17:05

-so-called Tunbridge ware.

-Yes.

-Tunbridge Wells, then, or not?

0:17:050:17:09

Well, anything generically with these little micro-cuts of timber in

0:17:090:17:13

always get called Tunbridge ware, but I'm pretty sure, actually,

0:17:130:17:17

it's more Tuscan than Tunbridge. It's a little bit of Italian ware.

0:17:170:17:20

-Probably Sorrento.

-Yeah.

-But it's a perfectly nice thing. How much?

0:17:200:17:24

It's decorative. £15-£25.

0:17:240:17:26

-OK, £15 paid.

-OK. Good.

-But because we think

0:17:260:17:29

the camera's going to do so jolly well, they're not going to need

0:17:290:17:33

their bonus buy, but let's look at it.

0:17:330:17:35

Girls, you only spent £84. I can't believe it.

0:17:350:17:38

Good bargaining, Tim. Good bargainers.

0:17:380:17:40

You certainly are. £216 went to your man. Paul, what did you spend it on?

0:17:400:17:46

Well, you bought a Staffordshire watch stand.

0:17:460:17:49

-Yes, we did.

-You needed a watch, didn't you?

-Oh!

0:17:490:17:52

PAUL LAUGHS Excellent.

0:17:520:17:54

I think it is very good. Excellent, as well. Now, this is,

0:17:540:17:57

let me tell you, this is the technicalities.

0:17:570:17:59

This is a pair-cased verge watch.

0:17:590:18:02

Pair-cased, because it has a pair of cases.

0:18:020:18:06

-Oh!

-OK? And verge refers to the movement.

0:18:060:18:10

-That's what it is.

-OK. All right, so how many pennies did you spend

0:18:100:18:14

-on that lovely watch?

-A lot.

-Go on, then.

0:18:140:18:16

£135.

0:18:160:18:17

THEY SHRIEK

0:18:170:18:19

Look what you've done, Paul!

0:18:190:18:22

-Don't need a chair, love, do you?

-I'm all right!

0:18:220:18:25

Some of these big shocks can be big, can't they?

0:18:250:18:27

This is worth, in my opinion, £120-£180.

0:18:270:18:33

-Really?

-That's the price for any respectable

0:18:330:18:35

pair-cased verge in a silver case.

0:18:350:18:37

-OK.

-And I think we should be OK with that.

0:18:370:18:41

Anyway, you don't actually have

0:18:410:18:43

to decide right now. You can choose after the sale of your three items,

0:18:430:18:47

but let's find out from the auctioneer what he thinks about

0:18:470:18:50

Paul's pair-cased watch.

0:18:500:18:51

-OK, Nick, so solid silver, yes?

-It is. It is nicely hallmarked at Chester,

0:18:530:18:57

so it is local.

0:18:570:18:58

It's in nice condition, as well, and it's got quite a nice little

0:18:580:19:02

movement in there. It's got this lovely pierced cock plate on the top.

0:19:020:19:07

Fusee movement. We've got the maker's name on there, which,

0:19:070:19:11

of course, is from the Lake District,

0:19:110:19:14

although it could well have been made in or around the Lancashire area.

0:19:140:19:19

But the whole thing has got a nice north-west gel about it,

0:19:190:19:22

so it's being sold in the right place.

0:19:220:19:25

And in, overall, pretty good, usable, wearable condition.

0:19:250:19:29

What is your best estimate, then?

0:19:290:19:31

Well, we've gone £60-£100, but I think it could make over the 100.

0:19:310:19:37

Well, it needs to, cos he's paid £135 and he obviously rates it.

0:19:370:19:40

-Yeah.

-But, anyway, we'll see. That's the excitement of the auction.

0:19:400:19:45

-Absolutely.

-Absolutely.

0:19:450:19:46

-What we have is some excitement.

-Just a little bit!

0:19:530:19:58

Now, first up is the high-risk strategy,

0:20:000:20:02

which is your lovely inkwell. Here it comes.

0:20:020:20:04

The silver-plated inkwell.

0:20:040:20:06

Smart-looking lot, this.

0:20:060:20:08

Who's got a desk to sit this on?

0:20:080:20:10

£80 for it. 60? 50?

0:20:100:20:12

50. Come on. Good quality. Late Victorian,

0:20:120:20:15

silver-plated Gothic revival. 40, get the bids in, at 40.

0:20:150:20:19

At £40, thank you, sir.

0:20:190:20:21

40, I am bid, seated. At 40.

0:20:210:20:22

-Cheap.

-That's so cheap.

-Where is the 5? Anywhere else?

0:20:220:20:27

Nothing online? It's £40 in the room. At £40. Going once, twice...

0:20:270:20:31

-£40, only.

-£40 is minus £35.

0:20:310:20:35

Oh, darling, this is just rotten.

0:20:350:20:39

Lot number 119.

0:20:390:20:40

Another great name here, Tiffany & Co. A .925 silver

0:20:400:20:44

cuff bracelet. What's it worth?

0:20:440:20:47

£80? £60? £50, come on.

0:20:470:20:49

Who'll start me off at £50? Surely? Thank you, sir,

0:20:490:20:52

-50, I am bid. At 50. Any advance on 50?

-Come on. One more, one more.

0:20:520:20:56

-At £50. 5, online. Still in?

-I'm going to cry!

-He's back, he's back.

0:20:560:21:02

At 60, now. Any advance on 60? The bid's in the room, on my left,

0:21:020:21:05

at 60. And 5.

0:21:050:21:06

-It's creeping up, it's creeping up.

-£70. Look at the quality. It's £70.

0:21:060:21:10

70, and selling. All sure and done?

0:21:100:21:12

-Yes!

-£70. Well done, Debs. I'm so pleased, darling. That's plus £15.

0:21:130:21:19

Isn't that brilliant?

0:21:190:21:21

Anyway, there we are. You are currently minus 20, OK?

0:21:210:21:25

Now, here comes the old bird.

0:21:250:21:26

Tin-plate mechanical bird.

0:21:260:21:28

Nicely enamelled and it's got the original key with it,

0:21:280:21:33

which is important. Come on, £20? £15? £10? Thank you.

0:21:330:21:37

10, I am bid, on my right.

0:21:370:21:40

Any advance on 10? And the clockwork works.

0:21:400:21:42

At 15. 20. 5. 30.

0:21:420:21:46

35. 40. 45. 45, on my right.

0:21:460:21:50

At 45. Anyone else? All sure?

0:21:500:21:53

£45, and selling.

0:21:530:21:55

-£45.

-Brilliant!

-That is ridiculous! £45. Plus 40. That's plus 40 -

0:21:550:22:03

that's plus 40 - which means,

0:22:030:22:05

overall, you are plus 20. That is really good.

0:22:050:22:07

-Are you going with the toad?

-We're going to go with it.

0:22:070:22:11

-Are you sure?

-Definitely.

-Are you sure?

-Yes.

0:22:110:22:14

-Clearly, animals are very popular.

-And cheap! Cheap animals!

0:22:140:22:19

Cheap, did you say?!

0:22:190:22:21

Lot 124, is the mid 20th-century, green-glazed model of a toad.

0:22:210:22:26

Where are we going to go? What's it worth? £30?

0:22:260:22:28

-25? 20, for it.

-Come on.

0:22:280:22:31

-£20, only. It's not dear. Come on.

-It's not "dear" - it's a frog.

0:22:310:22:35

Who's in at £20? £15? 10?

0:22:350:22:38

Thank you, madam. 10, I am bid. Any advance on 10?

0:22:380:22:42

Come on, let's get some hands up. At £10. Internet's gone quiet.

0:22:420:22:46

-Oh!

-With you, madam, at £10.

0:22:460:22:48

I'm waiting for someone else to come in!

0:22:480:22:50

15. They are! Thank you.

0:22:500:22:52

£15. You're out?

0:22:520:22:53

It's £15, on my right.

0:22:530:22:55

£15m online, 15, I sell.

0:22:550:22:58

Well done, Christina. £15 is plus £10, which means you are

0:22:580:23:03

such good winners, which means you are plus £30.

0:23:030:23:06

-Oh, brilliant.

-Yes!

-Now, listen, that could be a winning score, yes?

0:23:060:23:10

-You never know, you never know.

-It could be a winning score.

0:23:100:23:13

-Should be a winning score?

-Yes.

-Don't say a word to the Blues.

0:23:130:23:16

Are you nervous about anything? Lisa, are you nervous?

0:23:230:23:27

-Um...I'm nervous about the pocket watch holder.

-Are you?

0:23:270:23:31

That Staffordshire...lump?

0:23:310:23:33

-Yes. I am, yes.

-The trouble is it is such a fashion thing,

0:23:330:23:36

isn't it? You only paid £24. It's not high-risk.

0:23:360:23:40

So, first up is the Minox camera, and here it comes.

0:23:400:23:44

Lot 140 is an 1950s, '60s submarine spy camera,

0:23:440:23:49

complete with a leather cover. £60?

0:23:490:23:51

50? 40. Come on, surely?

0:23:510:23:54

£40. Nice little spy camera, this, at £40.

0:23:540:23:58

30? At £30. How low are we going to go? Come on.

0:23:580:24:01

30, online. Thank you. 30, I am bid. At £30, The bid's online at 30.

0:24:010:24:05

At £30. I will sell, make no mistake. At £30, all sure?

0:24:050:24:11

Last chance. £30, it's going.

0:24:110:24:13

I'm sorry about that, girls.

0:24:140:24:17

Minus £15, then.

0:24:170:24:18

Don't take a photograph of that, I tell you.

0:24:180:24:21

Now, here comes the Staffs.

0:24:210:24:23

Nice bit of Staffordshire pottery. What's it worth now? 25? £20?

0:24:230:24:27

20, surely? 15?

0:24:270:24:28

£10 for it. Thank you, madam. 10, I am bid. At £10,

0:24:280:24:33

for the Victorian Staffordshire pottery. £10.

0:24:330:24:35

10 is the bid. On my left, at £10. 15, online.

0:24:350:24:38

She shakes her head! It's online, at £15. Anybody else fancy a go?

0:24:380:24:43

At £15, online and selling...

0:24:430:24:46

-£15, then, is minus

-£9. Ooh!

-Which means, you are minus £24.

0:24:460:24:53

The late 19th-century Tunbridge ware...olive wood lady's shoe.

0:24:530:24:57

-Smart little thing, this.

-This could be interesting.

0:24:570:24:59

Hopefully.

0:24:590:25:00

I've got a number of commission bids on this lot, you'll be pleased

0:25:000:25:04

to know. I'm going straight in here at £60.

0:25:040:25:06

-Ooh!

-At £60, I'm bid. At £60. They're doing cartwheels!

0:25:060:25:10

60, I am bid. 5, I've got. And 70. And 5. 80. 5.

0:25:100:25:15

-90.

-5. You're joking.

-100. 110. 110, now.

0:25:150:25:19

Steady!

0:25:190:25:21

£110. Any more? Try another? It's 110 against you. At £110,

0:25:210:25:25

all sure? All done? 110, I have. Internet's out.

0:25:250:25:28

At 110 and selling...

0:25:280:25:30

£110! Where did that come from?! £110!

0:25:320:25:36

That means you are

0:25:360:25:38

plus £95!

0:25:380:25:40

You were minus 24 before, which means, you are plus £71.

0:25:400:25:44

What are you going to do about this pocket watch, then?

0:25:440:25:47

I think we should go for it, cos it is beautiful and it works.

0:25:490:25:53

-What are you going to do?

-My heart's telling me not.

-Is it?

0:25:530:25:57

-Do you want to go with your heart?

-Yes.

-You do.

-Go with the heart.

0:25:570:26:00

-Which means no?

-Yes.

-On the other hand, you do quite fancy it?

0:26:000:26:04

-I do. Yes.

-So, what's it going to be, yes or no? Quick!

0:26:040:26:07

-It's coming up! Need a decision.

-Yes, go on.

-You're going with it.

0:26:070:26:10

You're going with the bonus buy.

0:26:100:26:11

Lot 146, the early 19th-century pair-cased pocket watch.

0:26:110:26:16

Gosh! What have I done?!

0:26:170:26:19

Nice thing, this. A very specific north-west collector's piece.

0:26:190:26:24

I have commission interest and come straight in now at 70, 80, 90,

0:26:240:26:27

100. 110, I start, now. £110. 110, I'm bid. At 110.

0:26:270:26:33

Any advance on 110? 120, 130.

0:26:330:26:36

130, here. 130 bid. Internet's gone quiet.

0:26:360:26:40

It's back on commissions now.

0:26:400:26:43

Anything in the room? All done? £130, I sell...

0:26:430:26:48

Oh, bad luck. £130. Gosh, that was exciting, wasn't it?

0:26:480:26:52

That is minus £5, but it's nothing,

0:26:520:26:55

cos you are still plus 66.

0:26:550:26:58

-Thank you.

-Where did that money come from for..?

0:26:580:27:01

-I knew it would do well! Brilliant!

-So fantastic.

0:27:010:27:04

The excitement. Dear, oh, dear. Now, don't say a word to the Reds.

0:27:040:27:08

Shut up, all round. Look miserable.

0:27:080:27:10

-I'll try!

-Yeah. Difficult for you, though, isn't it?

0:27:100:27:14

No wonder they call you Dame Edna!

0:27:140:27:16

Well, isn't this smashing? We have two teams with substantial winnings.

0:27:260:27:31

-Oh!

-Isn't that nice? It's just a question of scale.

0:27:310:27:35

The runners-up today, by a fair margin,

0:27:350:27:37

are the Reds.

0:27:370:27:39

ALL: Aw!

0:27:390:27:40

BUT you are going home with £30, which is better than a kick

0:27:400:27:46

in the seat of the pants.

0:27:460:27:48

Overall, it is a thoroughly respectable result, is £30.

0:27:490:27:53

Are you happy with that?

0:27:530:27:54

Well done.

0:27:540:27:55

But it was not good enough to beat the Blues, who go home with £66.

0:27:550:28:00

THEY CHEER

0:28:000:28:01

They were going home with absolutely nothing, until a small shoe appeared

0:28:010:28:06

on the horizon and made £110, right? Out of nowhere, how did that happen?

0:28:060:28:11

-Yes, it was marvellous.

-It was marvellous, and I think

0:28:110:28:15

you're the heroine of the piece, truffling it out to start off with.

0:28:150:28:18

-Excellent.

-Did you enjoy it?

-Thoroughly brilliant.

0:28:180:28:21

It was a thrill, wasn't it? A real surprise, that.

0:28:210:28:25

-Excellent.

-Goodness gracious me.

0:28:250:28:27

Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?

0:28:270:28:31

ALL: Yes!
