0:00:04 > 0:00:07- TIM WONNACOTT:- We've hot-footed it to Herefordshire
0:00:07 > 0:00:10in search of treasures to sell at auction.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15So, antique shops, you have been warned.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46We're in the pretty market town of Leominster today.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50For centuries, this place has prospered from the wool trade,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54and it's also an important centre for the antiques business,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58and talking about business, it's an ideal place for our Red
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and Blue teams to trade.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03So let's have a look at what they got up to.
0:01:04 > 0:01:11- It's poetry in motion for the Reds. - This trifle pleads my constant love.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14- And the Blues are not entirely focused.- Come on, then.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- Back that way.- Anything else here? There's some pottery.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23On Bargain Hunt today we have a married couple
0:01:23 > 0:01:25and a pair of friends.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27We've got Andy and Carol for the Reds,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- and Michael and Penny for the Blues. Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Ooh, what a lovely hello. Now, Carol, what do you do for a living?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- I'm an employment co-ordinator. - What do you do in your spare time?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Bit of gardening, reading autobiographies.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Car boot sale it says here. - Yeah, I go to car boot sales.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47And what sort of things do you buy in the car boot sales?
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Anything and everything. - If it's cheap.- If it's cheap, yes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53You're going to be rather good at this bargain hunting.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57- I hope so.- And Andy, what do you do to earn a crust?- Butcher.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Are you?- Yes.
0:01:59 > 0:02:03- And what's the best bit of the job for you, Andy?- Customers, really.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Listening to their stories. It's great.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Now, tell us about your interest in antiques.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12I like collecting anything under a fiver. I don't mind.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We're going to give you £300, you know. You'll be able to splash out.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- You'll be able to break your £5 rule.- Nah.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Still go for the cheapest. - Oh, will you?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- With a bargain, a profit.- OK. Fine.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- It'll be fun to see what happens, and very good luck.- Thank you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Nice to meet you. Now, Michael, that's an unusual girl's name.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Where is it from? - It's an old biblical name.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36King Saul's daughter who married David and my mother thought it was
0:02:36 > 0:02:39a marvellous name and I wasn't too keen when I was at school.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So how did you and Penny become friends?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43She bought a doll's house from me.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48She lives quite near and originally she wanted a copy of her own house
0:02:48 > 0:02:52and I was pacing outside and I worked out that it was too big to go in her
0:02:52 > 0:02:55hall, so she came and bought a kit of something else instead.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57So doll's houses are big in your life, are they?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Yeah, I started the first doll's house shop in 1971
0:03:00 > 0:03:02and I found it combined all my interests.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- So you live your life in miniature. - Yes.- Well, how sweet.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- Penny, you're an artist.- Yes. - Tell us about that.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13I accept commissions for murals. I might paint an open window.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17The window looks like a real window and it's open and in fact it isn't.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Trick of the eye. - Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22You live in Cheltenham but you spent a lot of time in Hong Kong.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- We did, yes.- Tell me more about your interest in China restoration.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I fell into it when my maid, in fact, in Hong Kong,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32broke something extremely important and valuable
0:03:32 > 0:03:35and I took it along to a friend who was a very good restorer
0:03:35 > 0:03:39and the friend restored it very well and said, come on, let me teach you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43So she and I got together and she taught me and it went on from there.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46So will you be after a bit of porcelain today, Penny?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Um, we'll definitely look at it. Yep, quite definitely.- Yeah.
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- And what about you, Michael? What's your goal?- I've got an open mind.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58I love a bargain as long as something is attractive and we make a profit.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- OK.- So we'll see how we go. - Exactly the right answer.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Which gets you £300 immediately. There you go. £300 apiece.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Very, very good luck. Mine's chipolatas.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Now, let's meet our experts.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Keeping an eye on the Reds as well as the clock today is
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Caroline Hawley.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24And hampering after success for the Blues is David Harper.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- What are you looking for today? - Retro. Definitely retro today.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Anything retro? Any particular type? - Anything whatsoever.- Brilliant.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36I think you two are antiques experts in disguise.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Long as you don't think we're a pair of antiques.- Oh, no.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- Carol, what about you? - Some glass or maybe some silver.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Well, I'm looking for today's biggest bargain.- You are.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You are a dreamboat. I love the sound of that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- And we have 60 minutes to find it. Are you ready?- Oh, yes.- Oh, yes.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54- You bet we are.- Let's go.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- Let's go shopping, then.- Can't wait.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Right. Get on with it, teams. Your hour starts now.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07- There's so much to look at. - Tell you what we've got, Penny.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Tens of thousands of objects for you to peruse in one hour.
0:05:11 > 0:05:17- How do you feel about that, Michael? - I'm worried.- Mesmerised.- Mesmerised!
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Well, bargain hunting can be pretty mesmerising, but trust me -
0:05:20 > 0:05:23there's a few needles in these 'ere haystacks.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- You really like that? Not madly. - It's got a crack in it.- OK.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31- I was looking at that.- No, that looks a bit new to me.- Course.
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Look at the price on it.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Keep hunting, girls.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Meanwhile, it seems the Reds have spotted an inkwell.
0:05:37 > 0:05:42- That looks amazing.- The inkwell. - Yeah, that's amazing. Look at it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- That one's 110, that back one.- Is it really?- Would you like a look at it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Yeah.- Right. Let me go and see if I can find someone.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Whether I'll love it or not, I don't know.- That's all right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55We need to look first. Let me go and find somebody.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- I'd prefer the front one. - That one. The colour.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02And whilst the Reds await the cabinet being opened,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06the Blues are showing interest in a jug which possibly isn't all it's
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- cracked up to be.- It's got a big crack.- Oh, gosh, yes.- Is it cracked?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- Oh, right, yes.- Could you restore that?- In time.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- HE LAUGHS - Not in time for the sale.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22- This is Spode. It's very typical Spode.- Date. How would you date it?
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- I would say around sort of 1840 or so. Am I right?- Yes.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- It's got a label on it that says that.- Oh, 1815. It's earlier.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32My golly. Yes, it's worth having.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35What I don't actually like is this opening crack.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38If it was less than 45 I might buy it for myself.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- You can't be doing that. You're on the wrong programme.- Oh, am I?
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Yes, Penny. Remember, you're not buying for yourself.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Now the cabinet doors are open, the Reds can take a look at the two
0:06:48 > 0:06:51inkwells that have attracted their interest.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52That's what I want to look at.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- You can look at yours if you want to.- I'll wait for you.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- That is nice. What do you think? - It's a Victorian inkwell.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- Go on, then. Have a look at yours. - Yes, please. Excellent.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Oh! It's heavy.- 110.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09See how heavy this is.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14- Oh, gosh.- Murano glass from Italy and it's in great condition.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Much ado about nothing.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- There's a huge lump of glass for a tiny bit of ink.- Yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Very, very heavy.- So in your expert opinion, what do you think?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I think it's a nice lump. Which do you prefer, Andy?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Which is best.- Do you? No, which do you prefer?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Seriously, this is the one you looked at first.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I did, but the price is 110.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think we need a price on both,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38then we've got more information to go on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42I definitely think they're both a good sale if we can get a good price.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Right, OK. Andy, is there any chance you getting us
0:07:45 > 0:07:46the best price on both of these?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- I'll go look in stock and see what we can do for you. - Thank you.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- TIM WONNACOTT:- So while we wait for Andy who works at the antique centre
0:07:53 > 0:07:56to come back with a price, let's see how the Blues are cracking on.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- 35 would be his best.- Yes.- Can I have a hold while you're looking?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- So Michael, what about you? - I like it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09So we've got the Spode mark there. Very good high quality maker.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12We've got a little factory-impressed mark there too.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Lovely colour on the base.- I think 35 we should have it, don't you?
0:08:16 > 0:08:20It's nice. Can we put it back and give it deep thought?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Yeah, I'll put it on one side. - Would you mind?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- We only have an hour. - Do you want to keep it at the desk?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Yes, I'll keep it at the desk. - And you won't come down?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- No.- We could have a go, couldn't we? - I'll ask.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- TIM WONNACOTT:- Hopefully Jenny from the antique centre
0:08:32 > 0:08:34might just find a better price.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Here comes Andy who also has price news but for the Reds.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Comes to 165.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I think the best I can do is 110 which virtually means you're getting
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- that one for free.- 110 for the two of them?- For the two?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50If we bought the two we could put them
0:08:50 > 0:08:53in a lot together at the auction, couldn't we?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- We could ponder on that, couldn't we?- We could.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Would you be able to hold them?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'll put them by for you for 15 minutes
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- so you can make your minds up. - 15 minutes.- That's no problem.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- No problem, right. - Polish them up, we might be tempted.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I'll leave that to you.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10OK. Think about the inkwells, Reds.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- The Blues are like puppets in David's hands.- It makes you smile.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- We might make a bit. - I'm sure we'd make a tenner on it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I think he probably would make £20-30.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24- Let's see if there's anything we can make more money on.- See, hello!
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Now, what have the Reds spotted here?
0:09:26 > 0:09:31- That little pillbox. - This little pillbox here.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Your favourites, pillboxes. Look at that.- Oh, yes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- Now, this isn't a pillbox. Do you know what that is? No?- Ring box?- No.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's known as a Bilston patch box.
0:09:44 > 0:09:52It's enamel on copper and if we take the lid off very often these have
0:09:52 > 0:09:58mirrors on the inside and it would contain patches or beauty spots.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Yes, exactly.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02So you would have your beauty spot in here
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and very often they would have little terms of endearments
0:10:06 > 0:10:12on the top of it, like "this trifle pleads my constant love" and...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Oh, that's nice.- All right. I don't mind.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Beauty spots have been used as a cosmetic enhancement
0:10:18 > 0:10:22since Roman times and have dipped in and out of fashion ever since.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26In those days, they consisted of coal marks or patches
0:10:26 > 0:10:31- made from black taffeta or red Spanish leather.- It's £95.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35It's got a little bit of damage. It's not the best example.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I don't think it's in good enough order for the collectors to want.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Fair enough, Caroline.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Now, back to the Blues, who still seem keen on broken items.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48That's rather fun.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Poly-chrome, 18th century, completely broken in half and a bit broken.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- A whacking great chunk off of that. - Unsaleable.- Yes.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01How come you two are drawn to everything that's broken?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Because they're early.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Well, can we find something that's early and not broken?- Exactly.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09Surely you must be able to find something that's not cracked, girls.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12Now back to the Reds, who appear to be in reflective mood.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18That silver mirror there is a very good example of Art Nouveau.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20That is nice, that mirror.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23There's a black one there with silver across it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Yeah, that's ebony and silver, with just a silver band.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Can we have a look? This Art Nouveau mirror
0:11:29 > 0:11:33and the ebony and silver one, please.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Whilst you Reds check out the mirrors,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40finally it looks like the Blues have spotted something that's not broken.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Got Dutch delft.- Yep.- Oh, nice. - I think we might make on that delft.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Can we sort of stick it behind our ear for later?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- OK, so we've stuck a bit of delft behind our ear.- Yes.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- We might come back for that, then. - And we've got that Spode jug. Yes.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Good job we've got six ears between us.- I know, yes.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Those ears are going to have to be quite large too, David.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04It's silver, which is a very soft metal,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- and it's just taken a few knocks. - Haven't we all, Caroline?
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- The silver mark is here, can you see?- Yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16And the date letter which dates it to 1904, so right in the heart
0:12:16 > 0:12:21of that Art Nouveau period and the glass is absolutely perfect.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- It's a really lovely thing. - This one...- Have a look at this one.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Ebony and silver I think looks fantastic.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The black and the silver together.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33It's monochrome, it's coming back in.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Yeah, and if we turn it over, another thing... Ah.
0:12:37 > 0:12:42Some lovely condition apart from these two marks in the glass.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47And that really isn't brilliant. We need it to be perfect, really.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- What price for this, Andy, if we...? - Have a look.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Uh...- Very best price, please.
0:12:57 > 0:12:5975 going to be the depth, I'm afraid.
0:12:59 > 0:13:0260's all the money. It's taken some knocks.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05I'm going to get nearly there. 65 going to be the best.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's a lovely mirror. Shame about the picture, but it's a nice mirror.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10- Oh, excuse me! - TIM WONNACOTT:- Cheeky.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14- I think he's a very handsome man. - I looked away then. That way.
0:13:14 > 0:13:20- 60. It needs to be 60.- Yes at 60 or think about it?- Yes.- Yes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- OK, I'll do 60. OK.- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29- Thank you very much.- Congratulations, Reds, on your first purchase.
0:13:29 > 0:13:34It looks like the Blues have spotted something neither broken nor old.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- So it's cranberry glass.- Yep. That's nice.- Oh, look at that.
0:13:39 > 0:13:44So there's the pontil mark. Have you noticed... Ah, no, no.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Now I'm going to now bring Michael into the competition.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- Hello, hello, hello.- How are we getting on?- We're getting on OK.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- Slowly.- We haven't got enough money. - Have you not?
0:13:52 > 0:13:56We're arguing like mad. We're running out of time.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- What else can I say?- Sounds like a standard Bargain Hunt to me.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So are we going to have a crack at this cranberry, do you think?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Depends on the price. - We're having a competition.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- This is a modern piece, though. - Well, is it?- It probably is.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Do you think? He's desperate to look. That's cheating.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's not really cos that's what anybody would do.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17I'd pay 20 quid for that.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- How much is it?- 33. - £33 is not much, is it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Sorry just to bounce in on you. - Thanks for ruining the competition.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30- Haven't ruined the competition. - Go away, Tim!- Listen, back to this.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33I like it. It's a one-off. It's hand-blown.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- What do you think it would pay?- I think it's 20 to 30, 30 to 40.- Yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- Don't pay any more than 20 quid for that.- Shall we take this with us?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Come on, then. Back that way.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Anything else here? There's some early pottery.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Good to know they're listening to your every word, David.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- We're only allowed three things. - I know.
0:14:48 > 0:14:54Yeah, three items, Penny, and you do really need to start buying.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57David's going to be exhausted after all this.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Meanwhile, the Reds are going for a shot in the dark.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Could we have a look at this shooting stick?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- Have you seen one before? - No, never seen one before.- Right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Can you see this bamboo silver-plated mount?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14It opens up like that. Beautiful condition.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Look at this cane work here. - Oh, yeah.- Gorgeous.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Spike at the bottom. Any clues? - I see, yes. Stick it in the ground.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yeah. Stick it in the ground and then sit
0:15:24 > 0:15:27while Andy's playing his golf or whatever.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- While he's doing his shopping. - Something like that.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35And then fold it away and it can be just a walking stick.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And it's got a bit of age to it.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40I would think that's Edwardian, early part of the 1900s.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44What do you think of this, guys? They're asking £68.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Would it make a profit?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- I think it would make a profit but we need to get the price down.- Yeah.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- I do like it and I think we should have it.- Do you?- Yeah, I do.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Would you be able to give us the best price on this, please?
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Who's this, then? Someone else from the antique centre?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02£50.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I was thinking nearer 40. Could you do 40 and we'll take it?
0:16:08 > 0:16:16- If we did 43.- You're trying. I really think 40...- £40.- Thank you so much.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- Thank you very much.- We need a chance.- That's lovely. Thank you.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23- Brilliant. Happy with that?- We are, yes. Very happy.- That's fantastic.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Do you want to sit down?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Not my weight. THEY LAUGH
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Cor, she's a shrewd negotiator, that Caroline. Well done, Reds.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33That's the second item in your bag.
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Now it's the Blues' turn to have a haggle.- Right, you two.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Talk to Jenny about the cranberry ware.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It's very pretty but do you think they'd accept 20?
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- 25 would be the best on that one. - 22.- I'll ask my esteemed colleague.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50DAVID LAUGHS
0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Yeah, just once.- Just once. - That's very kind. Thank you so much.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Lovely. Have we bought it? - We bought it.- Hallelujah.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Thank you very much indeed.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- TIM WONNACOTT:- Hallelujah exactly, David.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Finally a first purchase for the Blues.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10Well done. Here's Caroline with a Reds recap.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- So we've got two items.- Right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16We're about 35 minutes in to the shop which means we've
0:17:16 > 0:17:20- got 25 minutes left.- Right. - What do you think about the bottles?
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Do you want to go back now and have a quick look?- No.- No, you don't.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- You want to continue shopping. - Continue shopping.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Clearly David is having a tough time with those Blues. How's it going?
0:17:31 > 0:17:37I am in an absolute tiswas in the nicest possible way.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42This is an experience I will remember for a very, very long time.
0:17:42 > 0:17:47Oh, dear. Persevere, then, David. Oh, my. Look. They're at it again.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- Shelves.- The shelves are nice. They're earlier, aren't they?
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- I like them very much. But not that.- 95.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Actually, I was considering those.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Hanging shelves, particularly the tiered shelves that are deeper
0:18:01 > 0:18:04and shallower and shallower, are really good news.
0:18:04 > 0:18:09Described as Victorian. Like, a reeded front. Good colour.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- Nicely jointed.- Useful and pretty, aren't they?- Shall I bring it down?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16That's terribly nice.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- You've got that.- What do you think we'd get for it? 125?- It might.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- I think it would be estimated at 50-70.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Because in auction the trick is to make sure it's tempting.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- That's why I said 50 to buy it. - There you go.- That's not very heavy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32- Isn't it nice. That looks really quite early.- I love that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Square ones, not round. - Isn't that quite unusual?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37There's not a screw on there.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's like a Mortice & Tenon, that's what it is.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45It's well jointed, it's totally handmade with old tools.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It is missing something.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49To me it doesn't bother me at all
0:18:49 > 0:18:53but here there's evidence of something, possibly a rail.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- There is.- Two rails, maybe to place plates.- Plates. Exactly.
0:18:58 > 0:19:03- I think it's absolutely drop dead gorgeous.- Yep. I do too.- Drop dead.
0:19:03 > 0:19:09- But it's all down to price, Jenny. - 75.- 75.- I was hoping for 50.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- No, they're not going to come that low.- Obviously it's hard.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Could we do 65, do you think?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- I'll meet you halfway. I can do 70. - OK, done.- All right.- Thank you.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Thank you. DAVID SIGHS
0:19:22 > 0:19:24We've nailed it. That is gorgeous.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- TIM WONNACOTT:- Quite correct. You have nailed it, David. Well done.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29That's the second item bought for the Blues,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but time is starting to march on.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38So now we have 15 minutes left and two options.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41The Spode damaged jug and you wanted to...
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- I want to have a look at the delft, yeah.- Just see.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Meanwhile, Caroline and the Reds have spotted something new.
0:19:47 > 0:19:52- Caroline, what about that at the back there?- The mother-of-pearl box.- Yeah.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I think that's gorgeous. I love mother-of-pearl.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Do you want to have a closer look? I'll go and fetch somebody.- Yes.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01As Caroline heads off to get the item out of the cabinet,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04the Blues home in on the delft.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11- Very early. 18th century. - These things are always... Yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well, it's gotta be 18th. 18th or 19th.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18But the whole idea behind delft is to copy the Chinese porcelain.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- It's got to be 18th or 19th.- How much?- You're straight into the money.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Yes, that's what we're here for! - Michael! 98.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- I don't think it's saleable as the jug.- It's not as saleable as the jug.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- It's not.- I think not.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I don't like the shape, actually. - Don't you?- No.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Well, we're going to put that back, so we're back to the little jug.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- To the corner.- Shall we go... Back to the Spode jug.- Yes, quickly.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Come on.- Come on, quick. - Quick, quick. Jump over everything.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Watch the furniture, please, Penny.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46With the cabinet now open,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49the Reds can take a closer look at the mother-of-pearl box.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- That is beautiful.- Pretty. - I like the pink.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57And this is Victorian, so we're talking over 100 years old.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58It's beautiful.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02Very often bits of it are missing, have come off over the years.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- That's what I was concerned about. - And...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Oh, look. Isn't that pretty? - Lovely.
0:21:08 > 0:21:13- Silk-lined and I wonder if it's had a little tray there?- Looks like it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17- I wonder if it's a little jewellery box.- Uh...- Do you like that?
0:21:17 > 0:21:23- I do, yeah.- I think again it's all the money. It's £75.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29I think we need a price. Andy, could you give us your best price, please?
0:21:29 > 0:21:35- 60.- Oh, no. It needs to be better than that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- I'll do 55 but then I'm done. - I think we're going to have to bid.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43- What do you think? - I'd like to see 50. 52?
0:21:43 > 0:21:4653 and we're there. I've probably done more than I should have done.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- I'm happy with that.- Yeah. - Happy, Carol?- Yeah.- What about you?
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- As you're the expert, what do you think?- I like it.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54SHE LAUGHS
0:21:54 > 0:21:58My lips didn't move then! My lips did not move, Carol.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02I... I agree with you. I think it's a nice lot.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I don't know how much profit there's going to be. It's lovely.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- You both really like it. You both agree.- I would do.
0:22:09 > 0:22:14- You'll do the deal.- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Congratulations. All three items bought.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21It's decision time, you two.
0:22:21 > 0:22:26You've been thinking about it for almost an hour.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- It was very early so we weren't quite sure.- Yeah.
0:22:28 > 0:22:35- Do you think 33 would do?- I'm sure we'd do 33.- 33? Thank you very much.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Have we done it?- Yes. - There's your final item.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Thank you very much, you two. Well done. Well done.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Well done, Penny. Well done. - And a big well done from me too.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48You've also finished your shopping.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54Time's up. Let's see what the Red team bought.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58On reflection, they parted with £60 for a silver-backed Art Nouveau
0:22:58 > 0:23:01dressing table mirror.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05An early 20th century bamboo shooting stick cost £40.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10And finally, they spent £53 on a mother-of-pearl mounted box.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- You chaps have cut to the lean meat, haven't you?- Yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Yes, you certainly have. Good, good. Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- The mirror.- Yeah, the mirror. That's the favourite.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Excellent. Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- Shooting stick.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- I reckon that's going to do really well.- Do you?
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- And you spent in total how much? - 153.- £153.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I would like £147 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Give him the lolly, Carol.- That's it. How long have you two been together?
0:23:37 > 0:23:41- 32 years.- 32 years and it don't seem a day too long, right?- No.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- He's my best mate.- Is he?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- That's the way. - That's the way to do it. Yes.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- And I bet he gets you lovely pork chops and stuff.- Oh, yeah.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Talking of meat, let's hand over the dough. Are you feeling confident?
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- I am. Very confident, yes.- That is a lot of money, isn't it, Caroline?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58It is. I shall take great care of it, I promise you.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02Do you think you're going to go for furniture, silver, ceramics,
0:24:02 > 0:24:03jewellery, bling, what?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Yes, I've looked at all of those things but I haven't decided.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Have you not? You're very coy, aren't you? And quite right too.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Excellent. Why don't we right now check out what the Blue team bought?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19They were bowled over by this cranberry glass bowl
0:24:19 > 0:24:21which cost them £22.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25A set of mahogany wall shelves set them back £70.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29And they poured £33 of their budget
0:24:29 > 0:24:33into this 19th century Spode jug with cracks.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- Gosh, this has been fun, hasn't it? - Oh, it's been fantastic.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Did you have a good shop? - Oh, yes. Great.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- How much did you spend, actually? - 125.- Is that all?
0:24:41 > 0:24:43They were either too expensive or, you know,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45we had very expensive taste between us.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Are they a bit picky, these girls, David?- Picky. Picky, Tim...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- I will talk to you about it later. - OK, fine.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Which is your favourite piece, Michael?
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I think the shelves. The mahogany shelves. They're very attractive.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- The favourite. Do you agree? - Yeah, I do. It's my favourite also.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05- Yes, definitely.- Will the shelves bring the biggest profit?- No.- No.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- We doubt it.- What do you think will?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- I think that awful cranberry. - I like the cranberry.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12It's quite saleable.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14So how much did you spend on the old cranberry?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- 22. We were done.- That was a snip, wasn't it?- I think so.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Please may I have £175 of leftover lolly. Thank you very much, Michael.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26That's your roll. Quite warm, isn't it? Try that for a hot roll.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- It's a big roll. - What are you going to do with it?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- I'm going to buy something broken. - Are you?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34In honour of my dream team
0:25:34 > 0:25:37who love anything that's smashed and hammered.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41It's been such a happy morning for this lot.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Anyway, I'm going to head off now and show your the prettiest two
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- little things you'll ever find in Leominster.- Michael and me?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- THEY LAUGH - Bravo.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03There are some surprising contrasts in these antiques centres.
0:26:03 > 0:26:11If you take a native-produced, not sophisticated nor manufactured
0:26:11 > 0:26:18product like this stool, it is a wondrous object in some respects.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24Firstly, this has been made out of a single log of wood.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28Chop a tree down and that is the diameter of the tree
0:26:28 > 0:26:34and what this West African native has done is to take that log,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38cut away all the timber around the legs.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40They aren't jointed into the top
0:26:40 > 0:26:43and that in itself is a bit of a miracle.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49The next bit of the miracle is that the top has been dished and then
0:26:49 > 0:26:53he's decorated it with little glass coloured beads,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55and then he's filled the centre with some animals.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We've got a heffalump there, look,
0:26:57 > 0:27:00and an enormous boa constrictor there,
0:27:00 > 0:27:04and then a white bird that looks a bit like a guinea fowl
0:27:04 > 0:27:06but might be an ibis,
0:27:06 > 0:27:11and over there we're got a rat having a snack off a bit of a leaf.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And then most unusually we've got the date. Look.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17The 12th of the 11th, 1931.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24Quite how it fetched up here in Herefordshire, I don't know.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28And priced at only £30, it's a little dream.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32Now, in comparison to that native craftsmanship,
0:27:32 > 0:27:39we have the most sophisticated form of Edwardian luxury furniture.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43If I sit down, you can see what we've got here is
0:27:43 > 0:27:46a piece of mahogany that goes to make a tabletop.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50Moulded edge and with these uprights, acorn finials,
0:27:50 > 0:27:56which are in fact the supports for the ends of the columns underneath
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and the open divided sections.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Each of those divided sections have got brass rails running
0:28:03 > 0:28:08along the outside with openings into which you can post your books.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12So if you're sitting at an armchair or even on an African stool
0:28:12 > 0:28:15and you need to get at lots of books and you don't want to have to get up
0:28:15 > 0:28:20and go to a bookcase, this thing, because it revolves,
0:28:20 > 0:28:22which is really clever, isn't it?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26That gives you access to the books and you don't move an inch.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30All you need is £150 in your back pocket.
0:28:30 > 0:28:36Supreme native comfort and Edwardian convenience. What could be better?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53It's a hive of activity here, I tell you.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56And with Philip Serrell, what else would you expect? Phil.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- How are you, Tim? - Lovely to see you.- Good to see you.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02We've got an interesting mix of objects from Leominster
0:29:02 > 0:29:06just down the road. How do you rate the silver-backed toilet mirror?
0:29:06 > 0:29:11I think it's quite a fun thing. I like the decoration on the back.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15- I would think that's going to make between £30-45.- £60 they paid.- Oh.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Difficult, isn't it? Cos this swirly stuff, that Art Nouveau look,
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- is very good.- It is. - Crisp, isn't it?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23You wouldn't want to make it for 30, 40 or 60, would you?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- No, you wouldn't. But maybe not that easy to sell.- No.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Hunting, shooting and fishing is everything in this county.
0:29:30 > 0:29:31I quite like that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35I think that's a good bit of fun, and you know, you could actually use it,
0:29:35 > 0:29:36- couldn't you?- You could.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I think that's going to make, I dunno, 30-40, £45,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- something like that.- OK. £40 paid. That's fine.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46And I particularly like this mother-of-pearl encrusted box.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I think it's a handy little thing.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52I like that but that's a box specifically for something, isn't it?
0:29:52 > 0:29:53Yes, it is.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57And having that bent piece of metal as a spring there,
0:29:57 > 0:30:02I feel I want to depress it fully, but that's going to break it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06It's got that ledge there, so what sort of box or bottle it held
0:30:06 > 0:30:09and why you want it with a spring in there...
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- I don't get it, but what a beautifully made thing.- Yeah.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16- I think we'd put £30-50 on it. - Yeah, £53 it cost.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- They're in with a chance. - Anyway, if that doesn't do so well,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I fancy they'll need their bonus buy so let's go have a look at it.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Andy, Carol, this is your moment.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29You spent £153, you gave £147 to Caroline
0:30:29 > 0:30:31and you seemed to have bought a painting. Yes, look.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33THEY LAUGH
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Are you taking the mickey here? What is your job, Andy?
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- I was thinking about that. - I mean, what are you?
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- I'm a butcher by trade. - What have we got? Hereford beef.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- That's brilliant. - Isn't that marvellous. It's a print.
0:30:48 > 0:30:53It's a limited edition print. I think it's 158 out of 200.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Herefordshire beef, hey?- I like that.- Much did you pay for it?
0:30:57 > 0:31:02- £20.- No!- £20, yep.- That's bound to make a profit.- That's a bargain.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05- Would you love it in your shop? - I would, yeah.- Would you?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- Grand place in the shop, above the counter.- Would you?- Yep, brilliant.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I thought you'd like it. It doesn't have a great age to it,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16but I thought it was fun and so pertinent to you.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Yeah. And hopefully for our audience in the sale room today.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Exactly, yeah. - It's an agricultural area, isn't it?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- There will be people who breed these things.- It's really good, that.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Anyway, £20 paid. The team like it. Well done, Caroline.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Right now for the audience at home,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36let's find out whether the auctioneer likes this print.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- OK, Phil. This is local. - I think that's a fun thing, actually.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43I quite like it. We have got a few breeders around here.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- I can see that making around the £20 mark.- That's what they paid, £20.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- That's a result. - That's a miracle, isn't it?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- There's a few burgers there.- Look well in somebody's lavatory, yes?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- It's that kind of humorous thing. - I love that. I think that's good fun.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Good fun. Good.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- I wouldn't be surprised if that did quite well for them.- Lovely.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05- Moving on to the Blues, we've got a cranberry glass bowl.- Nice enough.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- Bit yesterday's taste. £20-30 worth. - £22 paid.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- OK.- And it's not in bad condition.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13Secondly, we've got the wall shelves.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15They've catalogued them as 19th century.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- They could be a little older than that.- They could be.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- Just 1800, you know. - They could be just.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I don't think they're 18th century. They might be on the cusp.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I was a bit mean with those. I think I put, what, £30-50 on them?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28They paid 70 and I reckon about £100.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- But, you know, the market will tell us what they're worth.- Exactly.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34What I like about it is that waterfall look.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- It's a great term as well. - For my money, it's £100 worth.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38We'll see what happens, which is fun.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43What is not so fun is the state of this Spode jug. It's a shocker.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Yeah, well, I think we need to sell that fairly quickly before it just
0:32:47 > 0:32:48falls apart completely.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I love this transfer printed stuff
0:32:50 > 0:32:52but I cannot abide it if it's cracked.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Well, it's a lovely example but it's just too far gone in my eyes.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- It's a £5 note, for me.- I'd put a tenner on it. Did you? Yeah.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Penny fell in love with it
0:33:03 > 0:33:06and quite frankly hopefully the penny now has dropped.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10On that not so optimistic note, they may need their bonus buy,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12so let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15So, M and P, this is your moment.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19£125 you spent, you gave David Harper £175.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- David, show us your wares. - OK. Here we go. Right, you two.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Do we love things that... - Ugh!- What?- Sorry.- What?!
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Come on, Penny.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32You two know everything there is to know about antiques.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Tell me what that is.- It's a famille verte.- Yes.- Chinese.- Yep.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41- Probably for export.- Definitely. - Peking.- Yeah, Cantonese.- Yeah.
0:33:41 > 0:33:48- And date?- Oh, gosh. I should think probably 1890, 1900 or so.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Cantonese, late 19th century, export piece, bowl and cover.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- But it's busted.- I know but look at the way it's been restored.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- I thought you'd appreciate this. - Appalling.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- It's fantastic. - It's a collectable now.- The rivets.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- We don't take them out because they're an art form.- They are art.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10On odd occasions, a piece of early porcelain.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13There was a case in point with a marble Roman bust recently that
0:34:13 > 0:34:17sold for a fortunate because of its 18th century rivets.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- It made more money because of the restoration.- Yep.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- But do you appreciate the painting, the enamel work?- No, I don't.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- No, you don't.- It's not very good. It's not a good one, I'm afraid.- Oh.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Shame on you. I've seen better. - OK, never mind.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Come back, David, come back! Don't go.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39- Depends what you paid for it.- OK. Well, 40, and it was a bargain.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42In immaculate condition it's a few hundred pounds, isn't it?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Easily 300-400.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48He paid £40. You're going to ask him, Michael, how much profit he's going to make on that.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53- What do you think it will make? - I think it should make £80.- Mm-hm.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Double the money.- I think double bubble would be the aim.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59We got the low-down there. Thank you very much.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Let's find out now for the audience at home
0:35:01 > 0:35:05what the auctioneer thinks about the Canton pot.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08On the face of it, this is a jolly good-looking thing.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09It's a lovely thing, Tim,
0:35:09 > 0:35:13and if you look at it just like that you're thinking £150-250.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14Definitely.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20But when you open it up, you can see it is riveted, like, everywhere.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23These are old repairs. They were done a long time ago.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26In that condition, I think it's £20 or 30 worth.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Harper paid 40 as a bonus buy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:34We know at £40 for something that looks almost like it's not too bad.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38At least he didn't pay too much. He's not far out the way.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40I think it's rather a handsome thing, bit like you.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Oh, thanks, Tim. - Anyway, good luck on the rostrum.
0:35:46 > 0:35:53At 600. 600. Is there any more? At £600. Done. Thank you.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- This is exciting?- Yes.- Very.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I tell you, we are on the edge of our seat here.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00First lot up is your dressing table mirror, and isn't that beautiful?
0:36:00 > 0:36:06- 20, I've got it. 20. Bid 30, 40, 50. At 50.- 50.- £50 only.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09The bid's with me. Any more at all?
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- At £50 and I sell then at £50 and...- Oh! Blast it.- Thank you.- £50.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20He tried. That's minus £10. You'll make the money on this here.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Shooting stick. Bid me for that. Put in the bidding.
0:36:23 > 0:36:29- £40 someone. £30.- More, more. - You got 20. 20 I am bid. At 20.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- We're starting.- Starts low.
0:36:33 > 0:36:3730? 25? 30. 30 bid. At £30 only.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40And 40 I've got on the net now. 40. 40 bid. I'll take five.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- At 40. At £40 only. On the left. - Once a tenner..
0:36:43 > 0:36:49- £40 and I sell, then, at £40 and done. Thank you.- £40.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54Wiped its face. Boo hoo. Now, stand by for the mother-of-pearl box.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59Bid me for that. Start me off. £50. Lovely little box, this. 50.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Start me at 20 straight off. Forest of hands. 20. I am bid at 20. 20 bid.
0:37:04 > 0:37:10- I'll take five. At 20. Five. 30.- Ooh. - Go on. £30 only.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- This is for nothing. At 30. And five. 40 now. And 40 bid.- Yes, come on.
0:37:15 > 0:37:21- At £40 only. Any more? At £40 and done, then, at £40. Thank you.- Oh!
0:37:21 > 0:37:25£40. That's so close again. Minus 13.
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- You're at minus 23 all told, all right?- That's a start.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- So you're going to do the print, are you?- Yes.- Are you going to do it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- Definitely.- Going to do it. £20 paid, right? So a bit of fun.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- He's estimated it at £20. You're going with it.- Yeah.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45- All it needs is make £23 profit and you're ahead.- We're there.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- We're going with the bonus buy and here it comes.- I've got £50 bid.
0:37:49 > 0:37:57- 50!- Yes!- Get in there!- My woman. - At 50. Is there any more? At £50.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02- Bid's on the book. At £50 and I sell.- I love it.- At £50 and done.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Thank you.- Yes!- Isn't that fantastic.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11That's plus £30 which means overall you are now going home with money,
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- and this never happens. You've got £7.- Excellent.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- That's my lucky number.- What, seven? - Yeah.- Well, isn't that lovely?
0:38:19 > 0:38:24At £ 20... Thank you.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Michael, Penny, how are you feeling?- Optimistic.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- That's what I like to hear. - Pessimistic.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36I don't like to hear that.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- First up is your cranberry bowl and here it comes.- Cranberry glass bowl.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43There we are. Will you bid me for that? Start me off, someone.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- £30 to go.- Go on. Go on. It's a nice signed one.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50- £10 quickly.- Oh, dear.- Help. - Oh, dear.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Help?- Who's got a fiver? Quickly. - That's mean.- Thank you.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Thank you for coming. We'll send a cab next time. At five.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59I am bid at five. At £5. There's the bid.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03- At £5, I'm only bid at five. - And now it's getting worse.
0:39:03 > 0:39:07- I can't bear it.- No!- Ten. 15. 15?
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- 15. 15.- Come on.- At £15 only. At 15.
0:39:11 > 0:39:16- There's the bid. At £15. - I don't believe it. A signed piece.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20- Thank you.- Minus seven.- That's OK.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- This is where I'm going to crawl away.- Now, the wall shelves.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25I've got a bid at £30 starting.
0:39:25 > 0:39:32- 30. 35. 40. Five.- 50?- 50. Five. 60. Five.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- Come on.- 75.
0:39:34 > 0:39:40- That's more like it.- 80. Five. 90. Five.- Michael, you're a genius.
0:39:40 > 0:39:47- My gosh.- 100. 110. 120 with me. At 120.- Brilliant.- 130.- Yes.- 140.
0:39:47 > 0:39:53140. Bid's on the book at £140 only. Is there any more? At £140.
0:39:53 > 0:39:58- Look at that, girls!- At £140 and done.- 140!- Thought you would do well.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59And thank you.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Yes, that's very good.- He described it beautifully, didn't he?
0:40:02 > 0:40:07Didn't he just. Plus 70. You had minus seven. You are plus 63, girls.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12I have to say, I think this has seen better days. There we are.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- The Spode jug.- God, I'm embarrassed about that.- No, you're not.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20- It's interesting.- It's attractive. Academically interesting.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Start me at £20, someone.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27- Who's got a tenner? Who's got a fiver?- It's this side now.- Yeah.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Someone has to have a fiver. Thank you. Five, I'm bid at five. Five bid.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35£5. At £5. I'm bid at five. Thank you for coming. At £5.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39- Five bid.- Oh, no!- Any more at all?
0:40:39 > 0:40:45- At £5 and done at £5 and done. Thank you.- Minus 28. Minus 28.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Oh, no!- So that gives you plus £35.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- You're going with the bonus buy or not?- It's worth a punt. Come on.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- Yes. - You're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Now I can tell you what his estimate is, which is £20-30.- Oh!
0:40:56 > 0:40:59I don't think there can be much of a down side
0:40:59 > 0:41:01if there's a down side at all, frankly.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07The Canton pot. Bid me for that. Start me off. £30. 20.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- Surely.- Oh, come on! - Who's got a tenner?- Oh, no.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- It's one of those £10 moments.- Who said that? Thank you. I'll take that.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17At ten, I'm bid. Ten. At £10. 15.
0:41:17 > 0:41:2215. Yes or no? 15. Down here at 15.
0:41:22 > 0:41:2415. Is there any more?
0:41:24 > 0:41:30- At £15 only. There's the bid at £15 and I sell.- I can't believe it.
0:41:30 > 0:41:36- Thank you.- 15 is minus 25 which means overall you're plus £10.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Oh, that's good.- That's good. - That's better than nothing.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41£140, is there any more?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53- Well, teams this is fun, isn't it? Been chatting?- ALL: No.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- So you've revealed no secrets.- No.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- Well, I can reveal that both teams are in profit.- ALL: Ooohh!
0:42:00 > 0:42:01- How rare is that?- Makes a change.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Certainly does. You took the words out of my mouth.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07And there's only £3 between the teams
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- in terms of the profit stakes. - No!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14And the runners up today, with marginally less winnings,
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- are the Reds.- Oh!
0:42:17 > 0:42:23Because you have managed to run up, not lose, by winning £7.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- How's that? There's your £5 note.- Thank you.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Here, my darling, is your £2. There's the shrapnel.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Thank you very much. - Which is a good result, really.- Yes.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37You would have got nowhere without Caroline's bonus buy, though.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40That gave you £30 of profit out of those old heifers.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44- Which is quite something, isn't it? - We enjoyed it.- Very good.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47You've done very well, Caroline. Thank you very much.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Thank you for joining us. But the victors today get £10.- Thank you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Isn't that good?- Yes.- Yeah, really good.- A waterfall or profits.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56- THEY LAUGH - Absolutely.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- Did you have a nice time? - It was great fun.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Good for you, Penny?- Wonderful. - How was it for you, David?- Fabulous.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05There we go. A lovely result all round, and congratulations.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
