0:00:09 > 0:00:11It's a tad grey and gloomy
0:00:11 > 0:00:15and certainly windy here in North Wales today.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Normally though, Snowdonia behind me is a spectacular backdrop
0:00:19 > 0:00:21and lovely for a getaway.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25But still, no time for any holidaymaking today, oh, no -
0:00:25 > 0:00:28let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Anglesey is an island surrounded by water - what do you know?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Well, let's hope that our teams today aren't going to be
0:01:02 > 0:01:06all at sea as they shop at the fair on the Mona showground.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Let's have a quick peek as to what's coming up, shall we?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Today, the Reds learn that size isn't everything.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It beats mine, doesn't it? Mine's pathetic!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Use your own.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24- Thank you, anyway!- But will our expert get these Blues to agree?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26- I love those colours.- OK.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31- Debbie, are we all are of one mind?- I LIKE it...
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I don't like it enough to buy it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37'And we prove that there are still gems out there to uncover.'
0:01:37 > 0:01:38BOTH: Yes!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Yes!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44'But who will win the day?'
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, that's what's to come, but first, let's meet the teams.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53So, it's a mixture of family and friends today,
0:01:53 > 0:01:58because we have happily married couple Jeanette and Paul
0:01:58 > 0:02:02for the Reds and we have friends Debbie and Pam for the Blues.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello! - Lovely to see you.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09Now, you're a hospitable couple, you run a B&B. Tell us about that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Yep - we run a B&B in Llandudno, North Wales,
0:02:11 > 0:02:17and I'm sort of supposedly front of house, doing my Basil impression.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- So you do the meet and greet? Do you carry the bags up?- Yes, if need be.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25I try and get them to do it, saves my back!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- And you do the cookery, Jeanette? - I do the cooking and the beds.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32As if this B&B wasn't enough, Jeanette, you also have another job.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37I do, I work at a well-known high street store, your very own shop...
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Yeah...- Is that the one that begins with M and finishes in S?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42That's the one!
0:02:42 > 0:02:46I work in the food hall and I do the customer orders and things.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49What do you do with all the cash that you earn on this job?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51That goes to the holiday fund,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53because we have some lovely holidays with that.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56We've done the Panama Canal on a beautiful
0:02:56 > 0:02:58cruise for Paul's 50th birthday.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Started off in Barbados and ended up in Acapulco.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- That's spoiling you, isn't it? - Absolutely fabulous, yes.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Now, you have to level with the Blues here,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10because you're pretty pro hunting bargains between you, aren't you?
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Well, I had a small antique shop, collectables shop a few years ago.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- See, he's a trader, really. Why did you give it up?- Well...
0:03:18 > 0:03:23- My fault!- We moved to a hotel! - Yeah! Blame HER!
0:03:23 > 0:03:24That's the simple answer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- So you'll be on your mettle today, Paul.- Fingers crossed.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Lovely couple, good luck today. - Thank you.- What fun.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Debs, alongside Paul's expertise, you're also a bit of an expert.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I wouldn't say an expert, but as a little girl my father had
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- two second-hand furniture/antique shops.- She's a dealer!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- I'm not a dealer! - I'm surrounded by dealers!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Two shops!
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I was a little girl and I didn't pay attention.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56I used to play with all the antique jewellery
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- and polish up the furniture... - Did you enjoy those days?- Very much.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- You're also a speed demon. - A little bit, yes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08You've done more than 150mph in a Porsche, haven't you?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Yes, 165mph on a speed bowl.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I was being driven, I didn't drive it myself.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17We were going round and round on the speed bowl
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and the driver just took his hands off the wheel and folded his arms.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22In fact, it got a bit boring and I asked
0:04:22 > 0:04:27- if we could move on to the off-road handling!- 165mph is a bit boring?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31After you've been round three times, yes! "OK, had enough of that now!"
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I don't know! Now, Pam - you're keen on your travels.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- I lived in Italy for 26 years. - What part of Italy?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- I was in Sicily for five years. Mafia country.- With the bandits.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Absolutely.- You met a few pop-stars when you were there?
0:04:46 > 0:04:53When I was in Milan working in the hotels I met Donovan and Westlife.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- You two both work together. - BOTH: Yes.- What do you do?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01We have 33 narrow boats that we look after on the housekeeping side.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Pam is actually my line manager...- Right.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09The people that own the marina asked if I could help them one day,
0:05:09 > 0:05:10six years ago!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I'm still there and that's because of Pam,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- because we work so well together. - We do indeed.- We have such fun.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19And that's why you're on Bargain Hunt. For more fun!
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- And you're going to make lots of profits?- Of course.- I hope so!
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I hope so, too.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Anyway, your £300 moment is coming up - here's your £300.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31£300. You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Very, very, very good luck. I long to go on a narrow boat myself.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Which experts will be steering our teams today?
0:05:44 > 0:05:48There will be no time to stop for a cup of tea for our Reds expert,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56And "who you gonna call" when you need help with your bargain hunting?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It's Paul Laidlaw.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Tell me about our tactics today - what are we looking for?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Something that might be hiding under a table that no-one else has
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- spotted.- Have we a strategy for our mooching and buying today?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Something we like that's quirky, affordable.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- Let's see what happens.- OK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- I think that sounds like a very good idea. Let's go for it.- OK.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- Something unusual and something that you could use, possibly.- OK.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27OK. Well, that's wide open. Wide open I love!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Thataway, bargains! Come on.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Yes, and we'll keep our eyes wide open too - from a comfy chair,
0:06:34 > 0:06:35of course.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40- Oh, that's lovely. - Different.- Beautiful.- Brown.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42It is very nice. And it's Elm,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46which is a quite unusual wood to make a corner chair out of.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- But it's £185. - That's a lot of money.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- I'm not sure you'd get that back. - No. It's nice to look at.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Very much so.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01We know what the price is straightaway. It's £88.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05It's a Victorian walnut portable writing desk.
0:07:05 > 0:07:10- That leather is original. - That's something.- That's not bad.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14We'd need it to be 40 if you wanted to run with it.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15To make anything on it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20At auction, on a good day, you'd buy that for 30 or £40,
0:07:20 > 0:07:22so it's plausible.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26If you want to ask, it will be a quick yes or no. It's up to you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27- I think it's worth an ask.- OK.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32So while the Blues try to get a decent deal on the writing desk,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35what is Christina serving up for the Reds?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39I think it's some sort of serving or slice, isn't that pretty?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Something you put underneath a piece of cake to serve it?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I've never seen one with a curled handle like that.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- That's really pretty.- £7!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52It stamped EPNS, so it's electroplated nickel silver,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54not solid silver.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Electroplated nickel silver actually comprises a copper alloy
0:07:57 > 0:08:00made of nickel and often zinc as the core
0:08:00 > 0:08:04and then plated electrically with a thin deposit of silver, hence EPNS.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09I think that's really pretty. What do you think? I think that's lovely.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11How old is it, do you think?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15I'd say that style of decoration is early 20th century, going
0:08:15 > 0:08:19from the Art Nouveau period to a slightly more rigid Art Deco period.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23I'd say you're looking at 1900, 1910. It is only EPNS, though.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- Well, you didn't want to spend much money, did you?- No. Well, I don't.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Go on, then - see what you can do to slice that price.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Now, have the Blues managed to close the deal on the desk?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- I like the rounded top on it. - Me too.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- No, not the right price. - That's fine.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- Keep going. But you tried. Good on you!- Okey-doke.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Who wants to do the dealing? Do you want me to do it, or you?- You go.
0:08:47 > 0:08:53- I'm easy.- You go!- No, you have a go! - All right, then.- Go and say...
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Go in slightly cheeky.- OK!
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Um, I really like this...- No, you don't! No, you don't really like it!
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- It's awful, it's only EPNS. - I'll just make a slight amendment!
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It's too cheap! Hang on...
0:09:05 > 0:09:0777!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09You like it a lot more now!
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Do you think you'd let me have that for about three pounds, then?- No.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- How much is it, 77? - No, seven, you noodle!- 77!
0:09:19 > 0:09:21A fiver.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26- Do you think?- Can you do any more? - No!- Go on!- No less than a fiver.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- That's my minimum price. - I think that's fair.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32It would be great to get it cheaper, but £5...
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Shake the man's hand.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38- One down. Well done, team. - Thank you, guv.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40You can only lose a fiver on that!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43That's true, but also not make a massive profit, even if
0:09:43 > 0:09:44you double your money.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Well done, Reds - that's your first item and we're 20 minutes in,
0:09:47 > 0:09:51so you Blues need to sniff something out swiftly to keep up.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- The little boxes.- What have we got?
0:09:57 > 0:10:02It's a little 19th-century Dutch drum snuff, to be honest with you.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's a sweet little box.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Snuff is a fine powder milled from pulverised tobacco leaves
0:10:09 > 0:10:11and often flavoured with aromatics.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16When snorted or sniffed, it delivers a swift tobacco hit.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17(What's it worth?)
0:10:17 > 0:10:20£20 or £30 at an auction on a bad day.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It's a circular box - the most difficult type of box to make,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26as you know, because it's round
0:10:26 > 0:10:29and to get the top to close like that one is 100%.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32It's Dutch, around about 100 years old.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37- What would be your very best? - I could let YOU have it for 30.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- VENDOR: It's a gift! - I don't think it is.- No, I don't.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46The world is full of little silver boxes. Not all as good as that...
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- No, no.- They're not easy. Is there a compromise in between the two?
0:10:52 > 0:10:5520, 30... Is 25 a possibility?
0:10:56 > 0:11:01- Oh, oh! I've just bought it - are you all right?- Go on, then.
0:11:01 > 0:11:06- You'll definitely make money, I assure you.- I hope so.- You own...
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- A little box!- Well done, Blues.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13You boxed clever there and got a smashing deal on that one.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Now the Reds. Are you set to get a bargain?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21That's really pretty.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- Interesting shape.- They're lovely, aren't they? I like that.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- I think what we've got here is... - A dessert set or something?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32A fruit salad set, exactly. I love the shape. Oh, isn't that pretty?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Feet. Staffordshire, as well.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Absolutely, so it's a pottery rather than a porcelain.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- We don't know how old? - I'd say this is about 1930s, 1940s.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- It's got crackling in it, but that's in the glaze, isn't it?- Absolutely.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51- Well, in the bowl especially we've got crazing.- There's no chips.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Let's check the bowls.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Brentleigh Art Deco seven-piece fruit set. There we go - £35,
0:11:57 > 0:12:02it's marked up at. That doesn't seem unreasonable.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I'd like to see it a little bit less.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08If it came in to me at auction I would put maybe 20, £30 on it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11So if we got it for about 25...
0:12:11 > 0:12:12That would be really good.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15I think that that would be very generous.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Let's see what he wants for it. Good morning, sir. My name is Christina.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Hello, Christina - Ken. - Nice to meet you, Ken.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25We were just looking at the fruit set here.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29We noticed there's some crazing and staining to the bowl here.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32We were thinking, although at £35 it's a fair price,
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- would there be anything off that? - Yes, I think I can go probably to 30.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39We were just hoping for maybe a little bit more
0:12:39 > 0:12:41movement in the price, if possible.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- I think I can probably go to 23. - 23?- 23.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- Excellent.- Are you happy with that? - Yes, you?- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53I think that's very, very kind. I think you should bite his hand off.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57- Thank you very much!- Ken, you're a star.- Good!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59All set then, for the auction.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Uh-oh - you've got one item left to find.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Now, what's going on with these Blues,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11who are still stuck at the same stall?
0:13:11 > 0:13:12- There.- Oh, right!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Pick that up, tell me if it does anything for you.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16If it does nothing for you, we move on.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Where does it come from and when?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Any ideas?- Oriental looking, but...
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Specifically Chinese, I think.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Pagodas...- Yes...
0:13:26 > 0:13:29A Chinese gentleman on his horse here.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31He's got a little bearer running behind him,
0:13:31 > 0:13:36carrying something, a pot of flowers on his head, by the looks of things!
0:13:36 > 0:13:41Mother-of-pearl inlaid hardwood and it's got to be 150 years old.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43It could be mid-19th century.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I think that's quite a smart period object.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- However, you'll have read the price tag...- Yes, I have.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- It's three times where we need it to be.- OK.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53But...
0:13:53 > 0:13:58- I like a challenge!- We like challenges, don't we, Debs?- Yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Ask me what I think it's worth, I'll say 50 to 80 is
0:14:02 > 0:14:06probably as cautious as auctioneers would want to be.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Want to go for it?- Yes!
0:14:08 > 0:14:10We're back!
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The Chinese inlaid tray - everyone's, "Oh, Chinese, Chinese",
0:14:14 > 0:14:19but they're not buying these pieces that were made for the West.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22If possible, and it's a big ask...
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- £40.- 40?! You're harder than me. Make it 50...
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Just because it's you. - Thank you, sir.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Wonderful!- Thank you very much! - Well,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36let's hope it serves you up a profit.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Now, both teams have got two items and we're in the final 15 minutes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Oh, that's nice.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48- Is it silver? - It looks like silver, yes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51We've also got a bit of gold on there, as well.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Some semiprecious stones. - There's a lot of work in that.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Isn't that pretty?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58That's a sign of quality, really, a nice hand-wrought piece.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- Have you got your eyeglass? - I'll get mine.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05How about my monster?!
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- Oh, my goodness! Where did that come from?!- I take it with me everywhere!
0:15:09 > 0:15:11It beats mine! Mine's pathetic!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13LAUGHTER
0:15:13 > 0:15:16See if you can find a maker's mark on there.
0:15:16 > 0:15:17I love it, that's brilliant!
0:15:17 > 0:15:20"Always be prepared!" You must have been a Brownie.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I wasn't even a Boy Scout.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27I can't see anything. You have a look, Christina. Use my big monster.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Do you know what, I think I'll use...- Use your own!
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Thank you, anyway! But I can't see any maker's mark, sadly,
0:15:32 > 0:15:37but everything that I'm looking at is a sign of quality.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41We can tell it's a natural citrine rather than being
0:15:41 > 0:15:44a piece of glass, because we've got some natural,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- what we call needle-like inclusions within the stone.- OK, right.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51If it was glass, you'd expect to see maybe a few air bubbles or no inclusions at tall.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Citrine is a variety of pale yellow quartz
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and natural citrines are really quite rare.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59The ones produced commercially are purple amethysts which have
0:15:59 > 0:16:03been heat-treated to turn them yellow. Tricky!
0:16:03 > 0:16:04It's a really nice cut.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- Can you see that star on there? - Yes, it's very pretty.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Rather than being flat... That's really quite pretty. I like that.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13What other stones have we got in there?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15We've got a little pearl in there...
0:16:15 > 0:16:18Possibly a peridot in there.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- I like peridot. - Bit of chrysoprase, maybe.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22The price tag on this one says 150.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25If this came in to me at auction I would look at putting
0:16:25 > 0:16:26it in at maybe £80-£120.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Maybe a little bit more on a good day,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32but I think we have to get it down.
0:16:32 > 0:16:3480, then - 80, 90.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Yes, if you could get it for 100... That would be brilliant.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- We may stand a chance.- OK.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Excuse me... Hello!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45We've just been admiring some beautiful pieces on your stall.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48We were just looking at this piece here which I think is marked up
0:16:48 > 0:16:50at 150.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- Is there any flexibility in the price at all?- 125.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59We were hoping more around the £100 mark. Is that possible at all?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Obviously we don't want to be cheeky, but we need to be realistic.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05If you could do it for the 100, that would be brilliant.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- Oh, give me two nice smiles! - Ah! Grin - grin now!
0:17:10 > 0:17:13She's a saleswoman extraordinaire!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- I think that's good. - Are we all done?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Yes, please.- Thank you ever so much. - That's really kind.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23You see? A smile goes a long way in this business.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24That's it for the Reds.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Now, how are the Blues getting on in the final 10 minutes?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30This is carnival glass.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Mean anything to you? 19th-century...
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Mass produced.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39This is moulded glass with metallic lustres introduced,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42giving this vivid iridescence.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Used to be a strong market for this and the market was North America.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Called carnival glass because it was sold at carnivals.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56- It's popular ornaments for the masses.- Gosh, really?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Tell me why you like that.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The shape of it and then moving it around,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03the way it catches the light.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05And I love those colours.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- I love those colours. - Debbie, are we of one mind... Or...?
0:18:09 > 0:18:14I LIKE it, I don't like it enough to buy it, if that's OK, Pam.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18But you don't have enough information to make that judgment.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20There's a real depth to that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23As I look at that, it feels like
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I could sink my hand into it.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Optically, it's a clever piece of work.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34Another thing, it actually doesn't look old-fashioned.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I actually think it feels quite modern.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Doesn't look like it's damaged either, does it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- It's in good condition. - Give us the price.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I think that's got 20 on it, has it? Or is it 30?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Is it something scribbled out, 30 scribbled out?- I'd say it's 20.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52LAUGHTER
0:18:52 > 0:18:53I'll tell you what it's worth.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It's worth £10 to £20,
0:18:57 > 0:19:01but if you did want it, I would back you all the way because I rate it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05As an antidote, we've got a piece next to it which could be Scottish.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Oh, right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09Now we're looking at aventurine glass,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14where instead of metallic oxides giving you iridescence
0:19:14 > 0:19:18on the outside, we've got raw metal, in this instance copper
0:19:18 > 0:19:23inclusions within the glass, giving you a sparkle.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26It could be worth £50-£80 in the right quarter
0:19:26 > 0:19:30and you could say well, we're going to buy one or the other,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32but if the price is right, could we buy the two...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I'm thinking it isn't 25 quid.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Do you think we're going to make a profit on them? That's the...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41You're not going to make a killing. There's no killing to be made here.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Um... 20-40, 30-50.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48You could double your money.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51In Bargain Hunt universe, that's good news!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- You like them, don't you, Pam.- Yes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Go on, then.- I'll put my neck out. - Do you think she's capable of pulling off
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- this 20 quid or not?- Yes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04If anybody can do it, Pam can!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- So, has Pam been able to charm the dealer?- How did you do?
0:20:08 > 0:20:12Well, he was asking more, he was going to say 35.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17All in all, I managed to get down to...24 for both of them.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- It's up to you.- Should we do it? - Yes.- OK. Yes.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Deal!- Yes!- Well, you did it!
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- We got there.- Ooh! That's original. A clock!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Time must be up.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:20:32 > 0:20:37They got their first slice of the action with this nickel-plated
0:20:37 > 0:20:40cake server and paid a meagre £5 for it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Next, they were bowled over with the fruity set for just £23.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50And finally, there were smiles all round with this Arts and Crafts
0:20:50 > 0:20:53pendant bought for £100.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Now, Jeanette...
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Was that as good as it looked? - It was lovely, thank you. We had a wonderful time.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Which is your favourite piece? - Erm, the little silver cake slice.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06And does the husband agree with that?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Very pretty, but it wasn't solid silver,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13so I think I would have to go for the pendant.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Little arts and crafts pendant. - Yeah, that was pretty.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17And how much did you spend?
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- £128.- That would be 172.- Yeah.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Thank you, my love.- That is a substantial wad.- Brilliant.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- I don't know what you're going to do with it.- I will do my worst.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29You rather like this moment, don't you, Christina?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Because you can go off and shop. - I can. It's what I'm born for!
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Born to shop! Anyway, good luck.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Thank you.- Lovely to see you. Catch up later. Right now, though,
0:21:37 > 0:21:40we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:21:40 > 0:21:43The Blues sniffed out this silver snuff box for a tantalising £25.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Then they managed to slash the price of the Chinese tray to £50.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57And finally, they got two for the price of one with these glass bowls,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59bought for £24.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So, girls, was that good fun?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Yes.- Brilliant.- Was it?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- What was your favourite piece? - The tray.- The tray?- Yes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- I think it grows on you.- Does it? - Yes.- Good. Do you agree with that?
0:22:11 > 0:22:12I did like the tray,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15but my favourite piece was the little silver snuff box.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:17 > 0:22:19No, I think the tray probably will.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Really?- But the snuff box is lovely. - That's a prediction, then.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Now, how much did you spend?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- £99.- Only £99. Dear, oh dear.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- So, I'd like £201, please.- OK.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Thank you. 200, thank you.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34And £1.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Don't know why I bother giving you £300 when you only spend so little.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40There you go, Paul Laidlaw.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Thanks very much.- That's enough to pay off somebody's small mortgage!
0:22:44 > 0:22:46So what are you going to spend it on?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Do you know, I have no idea, but I want to grow these profits,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and I think you've got some already.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Meanwhile, I'm going to show you something
0:22:53 > 0:22:56that I found on my travels a little earlier. Ha-ha!
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Ooh, we do love a bargain on Bargain Hunt.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10And I have to tell you that I really rather rate this little watercolour.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Now, at first glance, it doesn't look much.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15It's been ripped out of a frame,
0:23:15 > 0:23:17the dealer has probably sold the frame separately,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20so you've got bits of glue and ruined card,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22but the watercolour inside
0:23:22 > 0:23:24is really not too bad,
0:23:24 > 0:23:28and what attracted me is the scene itself - a waterfall,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32but no ordinary waterfall, because if you look on the back,
0:23:32 > 0:23:38it says, "Sketch taken under the American falls of Niagara."
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Because Niagara Falls on one side is America, USA,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and on the other side is Canadian.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It then goes on to say,
0:23:46 > 0:23:49"The Rock of Ages, Cave of the Winds
0:23:49 > 0:23:54"and Bridge of the Mists, as named by the Yankees."
0:23:54 > 0:24:01Which is what a visitor to North America would have called them at that period.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Furthermore, it's signed by the artist, who is somebody
0:24:04 > 0:24:06called T Sheraton,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10who, importantly, dated it in 1890.
0:24:10 > 0:24:15And of course, for our American cousins, an original watercolour
0:24:15 > 0:24:20dating from 1890 of one of their important tourist sites
0:24:20 > 0:24:24is more important than it would be in this country.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27I can see this decently framed up,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29on an internet auction site,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32making perhaps as much as £150-£200.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Which means £10 here in Anglesey is a bargain.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Rather like this little leather-covered box.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42On the face of it, nice quality, good condition.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Open it up, it reveals a gorgeous, blue silk-lined interior
0:24:46 > 0:24:50with an original dealer's stamp, look, in the lid,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53showing it was retailed in Bristol,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55and a knife. No ordinary knife -
0:24:55 > 0:24:56it's a cake knife,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59ideal for the Great British Bake-Off.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01It's got a silver-looking blade
0:25:01 > 0:25:05that's stamped "H&H" for Hukin and Heath,
0:25:05 > 0:25:08who were important late 19th-century silversmiths,
0:25:08 > 0:25:09although it's silver plate,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13and the most important bit of it is the handle,
0:25:13 > 0:25:18which is, in imitation, a valuable 17th-century Imari porcelain,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20but it's transfer printed and painted in gilt,
0:25:20 > 0:25:23probably by Crown Derby,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26around 1874 or 1880.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32A jolly nice example, complete in a gorgeous box, for how much?
0:25:32 > 0:25:33£50? Nope.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36£40? Nope. £30? Nope.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Try £11 on for size.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Now, that's what you call a jolly good slice of the action.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52So, let's skedaddle off to the auction.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55MUSIC: "Fascination" by Alphabeat
0:26:03 > 0:26:05All out and done.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Well, we've come a fair old haul,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10all the way from Anglesey to Knutsford in Cheshire,
0:26:10 > 0:26:12just off the M6, to be with Nick.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- How very nice to see you, Nick.- You too, Tim.- At Frank Marshall saleroom.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Anyway, we've added to your burden with this little cake slice in EPNS,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23which is just £5 worth from Anglesey.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- Will it turn a profit here in Cheshire?- It should do.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's quite a nice look about it, in good condition.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32We haven't gone crazy. I think we put £15 on it as an estimate.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35OK. Next is the '30s fruit set.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Yeah.- Not my favourite object, I have to say,
0:26:38 > 0:26:40but you've got six bowls and a serving bowl, so...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- It's all there bar the fruit, really, isn't it?- It is.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44- How much, then?- £20-£30.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48OK, £23 paid. You can't say nowt about that.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- The arts and crafts pendant I'm rather intrigued by.- Yeah.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55The workmanship around the upper section here is quite intricate,
0:26:55 > 0:26:56the nice blister pearl,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58the quality of the chain.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00It's a good bit of arts and crafts work, that.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- How do you reckon it? - Well, in its current state, £60-£100.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07OK, they paid £100. And that is all the money, really,
0:27:07 > 0:27:10and that will determine whether they need the bonus buy or not.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Now, Christina has it beautifully covered up. She had £172, bless her.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Yeah.- Christina, what did you spend your £172 on, please?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- Are you ready?- Yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25- There you go.- Oh!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Now, I saw these out of the corner of my eye
0:27:27 > 0:27:31and I literally honed in on them. I thought they were beautiful.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35They are a really nice set of French silver-plated forks and spoons,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37in their original box, which is great
0:27:37 > 0:27:40because we've got the retailer up here as well.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43So, so often, you find these things have lost their boxes over time
0:27:43 > 0:27:45and you can't attribute them to anybody. They are a good weight,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- beautiful casting on the handles, really nice detail.- Yes.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Really good quality and some nice marks in the bowls there as well.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Art nouveau sort of touch about it. - Exactly, very art nouveau.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Yes, very beautiful, very, very beautiful.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- What do you think of them? - What did you pay for them again?
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, I paid £20 for the box set.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I would say at auction, I would put them at maybe £40-£60.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Well, we've got all the gen there, haven't we?- Marvellous.
0:28:07 > 0:28:12You'll be able to dream on about your French forks and spoons.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Meanwhile, for the audience at home,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about them.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Now, Nick, that's Christina's rich haul of a bonus buy.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- There it is.- Very, very French.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Yes, there's a bit of a clue in the top there, isn't there?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29"Franz Boland of Liege, Namur".
0:28:29 > 0:28:32It's tricky to sell this sort of plated cutlery,
0:28:32 > 0:28:35but there's a full dozen of each, which is the good thing.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Yeah. How much?- Um...
0:28:37 > 0:28:40We've gone for a fork-tastic £25-£30.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Yeah, I'd spoon that up every day of the week. £20 paid.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46OK, so that can go down there. Perfect.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Next, over to the blues.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49We've got a mixture, look.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54A really, really nice Dutch early 19th-century silver snuff box.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Yeah, nice little thing. Nice turning on the top as well.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Can't believe that you could buy that retail for £25.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02- I think that's a snip. - It was a good buy, yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05We've possibly been a little bit mean on our estimate as well
0:29:05 > 0:29:07because we've put £25-£30 on it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- You're just tempting, aren't you? - We are, aren't we?- You are.- Teasing.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Teasing, because that could make £40-£50 every day of the week.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15- Quite easily.- Good, nice lot.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20Next is the inlaid tray, which I think is also very nice, you know.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Well, the Chinese market is hot at the moment,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26and of course we have a specialist Asian Department,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- our catalogues are translated into Mandarin...- Are they?- They are.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32..and placed live across Asia on the online platform,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35so hopefully we'll be getting some serious interest in this.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Yeah, well, all you can do is to photograph it and put it up there.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Because there are one or two slight condition problems,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43and of course it's an early 20th-century piece,
0:29:43 > 0:29:47not a period piece, we've put 40-60 on it as a tempter.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48- OK, £50 paid.- Yeah.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And then, two nice bits of glass.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Yeah.- One apparently Scottish,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56and one Carnival, which could come from the north-east, couldn't it?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Well, Carnival glass, yeah, it came from the north-east
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- and some of it was American.- Yes.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's not the most interesting of patterns.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07They tend to like the peacocks and the fences and the weeping willows.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10It's a plain pattern, but it's a nice colour.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Likewise with the Scottish piece.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13OK, so that's it, then.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- Two pieces of glass, ready to go. How much?- Well, £20-£40 for the two.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- OK, £24 paid.- Good.- Well, I think this is most interesting
0:30:21 > 0:30:24because the money, if you were a gambling man, is all on that tray.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Will the Chinese spot it?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Will they pick it up for what it is,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- an absolute belting piece of craftsmanship?- Sure.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33This is what they call excitement
0:30:33 > 0:30:36and it will affect whether they want the bonus buy,
0:30:36 > 0:30:39but irrespective, let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43You gave £201 to Paul Laidlaw. Have you any idea what he bought?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46- No.- Nothing.- Nor have we!
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Best take your rag off, Paul!
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Here we go. I think, sticking my neck out,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54you're going to like this straightaway.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Oh, wow!- Wow, liking this reaction. Give me more of that!- Yes!
0:30:59 > 0:31:00- So you know what it is.- A compact.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03It's a powder compact, and you want it to be in...
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Silver.- Which it is!
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Rather pleasingly enamelled,
0:31:08 > 0:31:11and what's this little palm tree?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Tourist piece from the Bahamas, do you think?
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Way better than that!
0:31:15 > 0:31:18These are the regimental colours of, and this is the badge of,
0:31:18 > 0:31:22- the Royal West African Frontier Force.- Ah!- Yes!
0:31:22 > 0:31:26This is colonial military set up in West Africa
0:31:26 > 0:31:29to protect our colonial interests.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32- I like it.- They come about in about 1900, and last through
0:31:32 > 0:31:34into the post-war era.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37This was assayed in the late '30s.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41West African Frontier Force come up against the Germans in East Africa
0:31:41 > 0:31:42in the First World War,
0:31:42 > 0:31:47and serve in North Africa and the Far East in Burma
0:31:47 > 0:31:50during the Second World War, so you've a whole military heritage
0:31:50 > 0:31:54attached to this rather exquisite little compact.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- What do you think? - What's it worth, then, Paul?
0:31:56 > 0:32:01Well, I paid £28. It's easily worth £30-£50.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04If you wanted to pay £70 or £80 it would be cheap, in all honesty,
0:32:04 > 0:32:08because if you gave me £200 I couldn't find you another.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- I think the girls love it.- Gorgeous.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- You like it? Pamela?- I'd buy it. - Debs?- Yes.- Thanks for that, Paul.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Meanwhile, why don't we find out what the auctioneer
0:32:17 > 0:32:19thinks about Paul's little compact?
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- Now, this has to be a rare survivor, doesn't it?- It is unusual, isn't it?
0:32:24 > 0:32:28The Royal West African Frontier Force enamelled on a silver
0:32:28 > 0:32:31lady's compact. I've never seen one before.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Presumably there were no women
0:32:33 > 0:32:35serving in the Royal West African Frontier Force?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Not that we know of, no.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It would have been one of the serving officers
0:32:39 > 0:32:41would have had it made and sent back to the wife
0:32:41 > 0:32:44or the wife would have gone down to the local silversmith
0:32:44 > 0:32:48and had it made up as a piece of pride and family prosperity, maybe.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51I don't know. I mean, it's the most extraordinary thing.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55As a rare survivor of colonial history, really,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57what do you think it's worth?
0:32:57 > 0:33:00It's hard to predict so it's little bit more of a guesstimate
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- than an estimate but £40 to £60 to the military collector.- OK, fine.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08£28 paid by that cunning of all cunning fellows...
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- He knows his militaria, doesn't he? - ..Paul Laidlaw. Certainly does.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Stand by for a result on that. Anyway, good luck today, Nick.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Thank you, Tim. - Thanks for everything.
0:33:20 > 0:33:2330, I'm bid. 40 on my left...
0:33:23 > 0:33:29- Jeannette and Paul. How are you feeling?- Bit nervous.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32It is difficult, isn't it? How many auctions do you get to go to, love?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- I haven't been to one for a long, long time.- Have you not?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- What about you, Paul? - For a long time, no.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- But yes, a few years ago we went to one a month.- Did you?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Anyway, first one up is the EPNS cake slice and here it comes.
0:33:45 > 0:33:51Maker's mark of Israel Sigmund Greenberg & Co. Circa 1900.

0:34:21 > 0:34:23Where are we going to go? £30 for it.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- 25. 20. £20 for it.- Come on.

0:34:55 > 0:34:58Early 20th-century Arts and Crafts white metal pendant

0:36:07 > 0:36:10What are you going to do about the spoons and the forks?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- We are going with you for the spoons. - Are you sure?- Yes.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Even though they're rather large? - They are rather large.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18I think they're between a dessert spoon and a tablespoon.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20More like a serving spoon.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I don't care as long as they make you profit, frankly!
0:36:22 > 0:36:25That's the right answer. We are going with the Bonus Buy.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27We're going to sell it now and here it comes.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Lovely.- Yes!
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- Well done!- Five short of 30. That is plus 35.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28That's how to give two girls a lot of pleasure.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Now here comes your Chinese.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Beautifully inlaid with mother-of-pearl decoration.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36What's it worth? 60.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46Do I see five anywhere? Surely a bid online?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49A thing of this quality? The bid's in the room. To my right at 50.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53- At 50. At £50. Going once, twice... - Is that all?- £50.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55All sure and done at 50? Selling.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59- The Chinese are asleep. - Washed its face.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Washed its face. - Washed its face.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04And the Chinese are asleep. All billion of them.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08- Obviously.- Must be night-time over there. Anyway, here we go.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Here come the two bits of glass.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- They look good.- Come on, Pam. Look at this.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15£40 for these two. 40. 30.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18It's for both of them, not each. Come on.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20£30. £20. £20, start me.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Come on, let's see a 20. Show a hand. Surely.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- Nothing online? 15. - I can't bear it.- Come on. £10.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28Let's get this lot away. Get them sold.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31At £10. Thank you, 10. 15.
0:39:31 > 0:39:3515, seated. Try 20? Round it up? No. I've got 15, seated.
0:39:35 > 0:39:40On my left at 15. At 15. 20 says yes at the back now at £20.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Any advance on 20? At £20, all done. 20 I sell here. Nothing online.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46With you, sir.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48£20 is minus four pounds.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50That is so tough.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53£20 is minus four, which means you are plus 31.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55That isn't a bad score though.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- In this game, plus anything is a good score.- Plus anything!
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Now, are you going to go with this compact?- Yes.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05- It's a no-brainer, isn't it?- Yes. - Absolutely.- Here we go, then.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- Here it comes.- Smart lot, this.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10A rare bit of military collectable, I'd have thought, this.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12What's it worth? 50?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- 40? £30, surely.- Terrible hush.

0:40:37 > 0:40:41The bid's on my right. Online at £30. The room has gone quiet.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44Phones off. It's all online. £30 only.

0:40:47 > 0:40:49- They hung up!- £30!- No!
0:40:49 > 0:40:54£30 and he hung up? It is not worth putting the call through!
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- Not to worry. It is plus two pounds. - Must have called from Africa.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00That is plus £33.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04That is a very respectable number. It could be a winning score.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Hang about and we will reveal all in a moment.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15So, double team of winners, hey?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Both teams going home with cash,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21which is why they are looking so incredibly happy.
0:41:21 > 0:41:25Well, in the scale of winnings, the ones slightly behind,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28I have to tell you, are the Blues.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31THEY SHRIEK
0:41:31 > 0:41:34The Blues lose by only winning £33,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36which is not so bad, is it?
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- £33? Pamela, here comes your £33. - Thank you.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41You should be proud of this.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44It all started off with the £35 profit on the Dutch box
0:41:44 > 0:41:48and then you got another couple of smackers off the compact,
0:41:48 > 0:41:50which is very good, Paul Laidlaw,
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- and in the tally, it's plus 33. Was it good?- Brilliant.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- Good for you?- Absolutely. - Did it move for you, Debs?
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Perfectly so, yeah.- Good. I'm glad.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59And you're going home with cash,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01which is an achievement, but not quite enough
0:42:01 > 0:42:05because the lovely Reds are going home with £147.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:42:08 > 0:42:11There we go, darling. Look at that, Jeannette.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15- How have you managed to contain yourselves?- I don't know!
0:42:15 > 0:42:20We had tears just after the auction. It was incredibly moving.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24And essentially as a result of the Arts and Crafts pendant,
0:42:24 > 0:42:27found by Christina. Well done for that.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31A really good justification of a good buy there, so fantastic.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35And of course, because you made a profit on each of your items,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39you are eligible to enter the ancient and noble order
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- of the Golden Gavellers.- Wonderful!
0:42:41 > 0:42:45So take a gavel. Pick one and pin it to your bosom.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Fantastic.- There we go, darling. - Thank you.- Happy with that?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Very happy, thank you.- Great.
