0:00:03 > 0:00:06We are in Devonshire, in the West Country.
0:00:06 > 0:00:10A county famous for its scrummy cream teas and beautiful coastline,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14but there's no time for sightseeing round here.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Our teams today are going to be scouring for the best in the west
0:00:18 > 0:00:21amongst the 400-odd stalls here
0:00:21 > 0:00:25at the Westpoint Arena just outside Exeter.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Ha! No time to waste.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Yeah.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Our teams as usual have 60 minutes to find three items to take on
0:01:00 > 0:01:01and sell at auction.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05The big question is, though, will they be able to handle the pressure?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Here's a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The Reds push the panic button.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14- OK.- We won't have a panic moment.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- No. What, us?- Will we? - Of course not.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22While the Blues make an ass of themselves.
0:01:22 > 0:01:23Go on.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24- MIMICS ANIMAL - Ba-ha-ha.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25ALL: Ha-ha-ha-ha.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30But before I give too much away, let's meet the teams.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We have two teams today who are hoping to
0:01:35 > 0:01:40hone their negotiating skills in finding the best bargains.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Reds, we've got Angie and Paul, and for the Blues,
0:01:43 > 0:01:45we've got Kathy and Dan. Hello, everyone!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- ALL: Hello!- Hello to you, Tim.- Hiya.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49Now, Paul, how did you meet, you two?
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Well, we used to live in the same street, then I moved away,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58and a few months later I was driving to work, and I saw this car parked
0:01:58 > 0:02:00in the lay-by with the bonnet up, and I thought -
0:02:00 > 0:02:02I recognise that car, she looks like she's in trouble.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05So I pulled into the lay-by to see if I could help.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Done a bit of mechanics in my time, fixed the car and away we went.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- Ha-ha-ha.- So everything sparked into life?!- It did, it did.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Well, isn't that lovely.- It is.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18So, you're a bit of a petrol head then, are you, Paul?
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Yeah.- And you like speed? - Yes, absolutely, yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Done a few track days
0:02:22 > 0:02:26and also got a motorbike which I enjoy zooming round the country on.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And, Angie, you also have a taste for speed?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Yeah, well, Paul got me into it.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So we've been going to events up and down the country so...
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Yeah, yeah. You've been driven at 150mph by a professional
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Porsche driver?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Yeah, it was a corporate race day and you go through all the cars
0:02:39 > 0:02:42that are available to you on the day. And I absolutely loved it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And you sit in with a professional racing driver
0:02:45 > 0:02:47and you get to go round the track like a racing driver would
0:02:47 > 0:02:49and it's absolutely amazing feeling.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51You've also got the gift of the gab.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Oh, Tim, I'm in sales. So what more can I say?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- All my life.- And what do you sell?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Well, I'm in the bathroom and kitchen industry so,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01I sell to the trade customer not to the punters.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- You won't pull the plug on that then, ha-ha.- No. Oh, very good!
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Now, listen, you two. What are your tactics going to be today, Paul?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Well, we're thinking of going for something a bit different
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- so maybe some sort of automotive memorabilia maybe.- Hmm.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14And if all else fails, erm,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Angie the magpie will be going for something shiny.- Yeah.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Negotiating hard?- Hopefully yes. - It's all down to Angie
0:03:19 > 0:03:20with the negotiating.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Well, I'd think - watch out stallholders!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23- Ha-ha-ha.- Ha-ha.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Anyway, good luck. - RED TEAM: Thank you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- So...Kathy.- Yes.- Tell me, darling.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29How did you two love birds meet?
0:03:29 > 0:03:33We met eight months ago on a night out in Bristol and we got on
0:03:33 > 0:03:36so well that we decided to spend the next 24 hours together.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38We went to go and get sushi, we went to the cinema,
0:03:38 > 0:03:42went to have dinner and then ended up back in the same bar that we met in.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Really?- Yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47So you've got a couple of passions in your life apart from Dan?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Yes, erm, I'm a massive travel fan, I've been to maybe six continents -
0:03:52 > 0:03:56pretty much 30 countries, something like that.
0:03:56 > 0:03:5730 countries?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- Yeah, it's been...- How have you gone to all these countries then?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03A couple have been charity trips and I went on a big gap year trip
0:04:03 > 0:04:06so I did a three-month stint of nine countries in three months
0:04:06 > 0:04:09which was really fast-paced but I really enjoyed it,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12and I like to paint portraits of the people that
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I meet or inspired by the people that I meet as well, so...
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- You paint portraits?- I do, yes.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Gosh, that sounds like a busy old life to me.- Ha-ha.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Dan, what do you do?
0:04:20 > 0:04:22I'm a paralegal.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24At a law firm in Bristol.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Does this paralegal lark involve you in a lot of negotiating?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Yes, I spend a fair bit of time on the phone talking to
0:04:31 > 0:04:35contractors so, hopefully I can translate those legal
0:04:35 > 0:04:38negotiation skills to get some bargains today.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Yeah, you alongside Ange.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Good, we're getting the message here.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So tell me, what are going to be your tactics today?
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Erm, maybe something camera related - I collect a few cameras
0:04:50 > 0:04:53so maybe something like that or cinematography stuff, maybe for you.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Something you can turn a profit on?- Absolutely.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57OK, fine. Well, that's the spirit.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- Anyway, now here we go with the £300. There's your £300.- Thank you.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Gosh.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12But before we get started, we need some experts.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Oh, look out. Kate Bliss is on the hunt for the Red team.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22While on the antique beat for the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27So, we have an awful lot to look at in here, Paul and Angie.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29What are you going to be hoping for?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Well, Kate, I think a bit of nice glassware or sort of some
0:05:32 > 0:05:35sparkly things, got to like a bit of bling, you know.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Bit of silver, maybe. - Yeah, bit of bling.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Bit of bling, oh, I love bling. - Dan, what do you like?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Me too, I'm also a bit of a magpie. - Ha-ha-ha.- Are you really?
0:05:43 > 0:05:44Ha-ha-ha.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45What do you think, Paul?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I think for me, it's got to be motoring memorabilia,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50maybe some bonnet badges, maybe some toy cars in boxes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Oh!- Something a bit rare maybe.- OK.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Right, are you ready then to go magpie-ing?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Yes, we are.- Let's do it.- 60 minutes.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- So, who's the boss? - That'll be Angie.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Ah, OK, we've got that clear then. - Yeah.- Let's go.- OK.- Let's go.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Well, stallholders, I hope you're ready for this motley crew.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11The clock is on.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Has Kathy struck lucky already?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19She's spotted a stylish matchstick holder.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25- Right, so, Kathy...- Yes.- Talk to me. Why were you drawn to that?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Unusual shape.- Yet, it is actually.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Has it got a hallmark on it somewhere?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yes, let's have a look. Look, here we go. Let's test here.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Can you see?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Erm, I can't.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37When in doubt, cheat.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Ha-ha-ha.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39Read the label.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- ALL:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43London, and the date there, cos I can't make it out.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- This lovely lady here is much cleverer than me.- 1925.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- 1925.- Oh.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- OK.- Can I...?- Go on.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54- I quite like it.- Yeah.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59So, with it being made in 1925, what kind of period does that fall into?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Deco?- Deco! Bang on!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- And it's the beginning of Deco - 1925.- Hmm.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08And it has that flair, that squared, angular design in the glass there.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09It's pretty deco.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11So, you pull your match and you literally strike it.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It's really posh. I mean, you'd have it...
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It could be next to a little wine table or something or
0:07:16 > 0:07:18on a fireplace.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19It's a good design.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Just turn that over.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Well, that's a lovely base, look at that. Good piece of mahogany.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26How much do you think this sort of thing would be worth?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28What do you think is the best price now?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30I've forgotten what I've got on it.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- What do you think you've got on it? - Ha-ha-ha.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I like your style.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Oh, I'm sure we can do something nice on that one.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Go on.- £55 but no less.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- 55, right.- £10 reduction.- Yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43Yeah, 55.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44If you think it's going to make...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47You know, 30 to 50 would be sort of a 'come and get me'
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- auction estimate.- OK, OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- It's a very good object.- Hmm.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- I like it, I think people will go for it.- Yeah, I like it.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Do you think we might get a little bit more off, could we make it 40?
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Just maybe a little bit?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Oh, yeah, make it 50. How about that?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- That's a one-off.- Oh, yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- Can we go for it?- Do you like it?- I think it's...yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- Shall we do it?- I like it. - I think it's a cracking buy.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Go for it.- Let's do it. - Shake the lady's hand.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'll give you the matches for nothing.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Ooh.- Thank you so much.- Very sweet.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14- Cheers, thanks very much.- Lovely.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18The Blues are on fire. Three minutes in and first item bought it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Well done.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Are the Reds keeping up?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Well, that's pretty.- You see the little 30-hour carriage clock there?
0:08:26 > 0:08:27That's nice.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30It's interesting being the cylinder, isn't it?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32We're looking at the little...
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's lovely. It's a fantastic little clock.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Let's have a little look here.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40So, we've got, "made in the United States of America."
0:08:41 > 0:08:44But, what's really nice is that we've got this patent number
0:08:44 > 0:08:46and the date here.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48What do you think are our chances with that?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think it's a lovely thing, but I have noticed your price.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Price, yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54What are you looking at now? Without killing me.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- It's certainly a collector's piece. - It is a collector's piece.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- I can see a Private person really going for this too.- Yeah.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00But at auction...
0:09:01 > 0:09:06..could be anything from sort of £50-£100. It's a tricky one.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I'll go halfway, I'll go 80. I won't go less because it's a nice clock.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I don't want to give that one away, it's too nice.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- I do think it's unique, though. - It is a little bit more unusual.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- It stands out, doesn't it?- It does.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Generally, the condition is very good.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19I like the fact it's got the patent number.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- I like the fact it's got the date. - It's an early date.
0:09:23 > 0:09:24It's a gamble.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26It's going to go online at the auction,
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- which will certainly help it.- Yeah.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I would realistically put an auction estimate of probably
0:09:32 > 0:09:34sort of £50-£100 but I think it's got a chance at that.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Yeah.- You couldn't knock another fiver, just for us?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Can we squeeze a fiver off?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41You won't go less than 75, and that's it. That's the squeezing.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44No more, because it is a very unusual clock.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Are we going to go for it?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- We should!- I think we'd like to go for that, Mr Welshman.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- We've got a deal. Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- You've got a nice little clock there. Thanks very much.- Lovely.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Well, that was pretty smoky.- That's nice.- You just don't hang around,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59do you?
0:09:59 > 0:10:00- ALL:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- We know what we like and we likes what we know.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Indeed you do, Angie. Good work, Reds.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07And there's no stopping the Blues.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10They've spotted a 19th-century porcelain dog.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Woof!
0:10:12 > 0:10:17OK. He looks a bit sad. He didn't look quite so sad from faraway.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- Really?- Yeah. Would do you think?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- It looks very miserable.- Ha-ha-ha. - Yeah.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Well, maybe you need to make him happy, give him a good home.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- He does look a bit sad, doesn't he?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- I'm not sure that's going to appeal to customers.- No.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- No?- No.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Have you gone off him?- Yeah.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34Oh.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Shall we put him back?- It'll make him even sadder.- Really?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Next time we go by, his face is going to be even longer, isn't it?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Take me home.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Oh, poor doggie. You're a hard man, Dan.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Now, the Reds haven't moved stalls yet. Are you OK, Angie?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- Ah! Oh, my goodness. - Ooh, scary price.- Yes.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Let's just have a closer look at it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- So...- The price of it!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- The price tag is 280. - Oh, it's pretty though.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's lovely. It's got the lovely William Moorcroft signature
0:11:04 > 0:11:07on the bottom - that WM, which is great.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09But the key thing is condition.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Condition, yeah. There's no cracks or...?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13No, let's just... It does look very good actually.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15What sort of age would that be?
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- I think it's post-1940 but let's to get our friend in.- Magic Mike.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Ha-ha-ha.- Mike, we need you.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Am I right in thinking this is '30s, '40s in date?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Yeah, '30s, '40s. - '30s, '40s in date.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32And this type of pottery is still fairly buoyant. It's called
0:11:32 > 0:11:36tube lined pottery, and if you feel the design with your fingers
0:11:36 > 0:11:40you can feel the outline of the design is slightly raised.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42- Right.- Hmm, yeah.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46And that's what makes it so Moorcroft.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So, Mike...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I will do you a deal but I can't go much lower than...
0:11:52 > 0:11:54140.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56That really is cutting it half-price.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I like it, I'm thinking that maybe this is the first stall after all,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and although Mike's been really good to us,
0:12:03 > 0:12:07maybe something we could think about, Mike, and...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- Yeah, Paul's right.- You need to look around.- I need to look around.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Yeah, I think so.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16We might be back. Let's put it safely back on the shelf.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- OK?- Lovely, thank you for your help. - Thanks, Mike. Lovely.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Thanks ever so much, Mike.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22That was some discount there, Reds.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25But always good to keep your options open.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Meanwhile, the Blues are playing a merry tune. Well - trying to.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31What is that?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Blow through that. See what happens. - Really?- Go on.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37DEEP WHISTLE
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Oh.- Hello!- Is it a caller?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Oh, hang on a minute.- There's... Is that like a bird call?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Oh.- Ha-ha-ha.- Don't break it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48- Does it come out?- Does this come out?
0:12:48 > 0:12:50What does it do then?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52It's a pipe from an entire organ.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53Well, I never.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55Next time I see that object or something like it
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- I'll know it's part of an organ. - That's the organ pipe, yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00DEEP WHISTLE
0:13:00 > 0:13:03See? The experts learn on this show too.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05What is that?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Can you touch it?- Go on.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- MIMICS ANIMAL: - Ba-ha-ha.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- ALL:- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12For a fiver?
0:13:12 > 0:13:13Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16Does it double as a rolling pin?
0:13:16 > 0:13:17Ha-ha-ha.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- I think we could live without it. - Yeah, OK.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20Is it a torch?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Have a grip of that. Grip it and squeeze it.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24OK.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25REVS UP
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Oh, it IS a torch! - Isn't it brilliant?
0:13:27 > 0:13:28That's awesome.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31It's called a tantalus.
0:13:31 > 0:13:32After the Greek myth.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Because literally when it's locked, it is tantalising.- Oh.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Ha-ha, it sure is, Kate.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43I don't reckon your average person on the street is going to go,
0:13:43 > 0:13:47"You know what, I'll have a torch that I've got to do like that for £40."
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Ha-ha-ha.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- He's sort of sensible, isn't he? - Yes, he's very sensible.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54If we end up in that panic moment, Kate,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56then maybe that's something we can grab.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- All right, remember. - We won't have a panic moment.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01What, us?!
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- Will we?- Course not!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06So, to ease the panic setting in, the Reds have headed
0:14:06 > 0:14:09back to see Mike about that piece of Moorcroft.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Right, Mike. Here it is. Let's talk business, team.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Yes.- Hmm.- Over to you, Angie.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Well...
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- We got you down to 140.- You did.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Is that the best you can do, Mike?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Cos we've got to get a good deal at auction.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26135.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- You're a decent Welshman, you know that?- That sounds good to me.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- Sounds good to me, happy with that. - Mike, put it there. Put it there.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Thank you, Mike.- Thank you. - Brilliant, thank you.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Lovely, we're doing well adding you, aren't we?- Yeah, thanks.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39You are indeed, Kate.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Two down, Reds. And well done.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45However, the Blues have only got one item.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Have they sniffed anything else out yet?
0:14:50 > 0:14:54- That looks quite nice, bit of jewellery.- The quill pen?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Does that appeal to you in any way, shape or form?- What on earth is it?
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Ha-ha-ha.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00OK. Right.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- Well, let's think what it's made of. It's made from bronze.- Bronze.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- I think it's probably an incense burner.- Right.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11So, it's quite an important process to go through, burning incense.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- And very often, the objects made to do that are of good quality.- OK.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19And it is of good quality. The petals are made in almost
0:15:19 > 0:15:20two layers of sections.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Almost like two layers of teeth.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25- Hmm.- And they both independently turn.- Oh, wow!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28- It's definitely Far Eastern, it's probably Buddhistic,- It's...
0:15:28 > 0:15:31How much do you think that would make?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33It's impossible to value, that's what I love about it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36OK. Price, please.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I've got 75 on it.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40What do you think?
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- I think probably 40 being the max, really.- Yeah, yeah, absolute max.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I don't really want to spend more than that.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47If you offered him 40, would you be happy?
0:15:47 > 0:15:48- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Dan?- Yeah, I would, yeah.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51OK, who's going to make him the offer?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53I'll shake your hand at 40.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Pretty please.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'll do 43.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- BLUE TEAM:- Ooh!
0:15:59 > 0:16:0142...and we have a deal.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- 42, we have a deal.- Go on, do a deal.- Shall we shake on that?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Good work, Kathy.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10And I thought Dan was the negotiator.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12That's two down and one very happy team.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14And the Reds...?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Now, I think you two have done really well so far.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Yeah, I'm happy with what we've got. - Yes, sounds good.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25So, we have spent 210 and we've got two really nice quality items.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So let's not spoil it by panicking about the third.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- Yeah.- Yeah, OK. - Let's do it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34Now, panic has receded for the Reds, but how about the Blues?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I am panicking.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Seriously? How you feeling, Dan?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Erm, not great. We're not, you know...
0:16:39 > 0:16:40- ALL:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That, there, is your treat.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46All you need to do is buy something in under 15 minutes and
0:16:46 > 0:16:49whatever time we've got left, we're going to be scoffing cakes, right?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Right, OK.- Great.- Come on.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Huh! Now, that's got their juices flowing, David.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57The cake challenge is on.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And is anything tempting the Reds?
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Ooh.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- I expect that's going to be way out of our budget.- 225.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10You've only got £90 left.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- Shame...continental silver. - Nice, I did like that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Really decorative, aren't they? - Isn't it pretty!- Hmm, very pretty.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- No, let's move on cos it's not right.- What a shame.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Yes, no time to waste, Reds.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Trot on!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29We know, looking at those things, that they are not mass produced,
0:17:29 > 0:17:30- are they?- Yeah.- No, yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32They're made in a blacksmiths somewhere,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35a small little cottage industry and you've got a pair of them.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- So, they're made for outdoors... - Right.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39..to hold a pair of urns...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Yeah.- ..with flowers, you know, bulging over the top.- Yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- But they are a bit odd. - They're interesting.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Yeah, Dan, did you find them interesting?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yeah, can't say I've ever seen anything that looks like it before.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Ha-ha-ha.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What sort of price are they?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54£100 the pair.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57£100 the pair. Have a feel of that.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59- Oh.- Weighty.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02OK, we've got 10 minutes left and you are cashing in on the oddity
0:18:02 > 0:18:03of them, they're a bit different.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06And in my experience anything to do with horses
0:18:06 > 0:18:10and people that enjoy horses involves a little bit of money
0:18:10 > 0:18:12so they've got disposable income.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14They would be drawn to them.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17They'd be great for 50 or 60 quid. I think they'd be fantastic for that.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah, great bit of fun.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21We'll have to get her down then.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24We'll have to see if we can work out something.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25Well, look, you know what?
0:18:25 > 0:18:26This is a very lovely lady.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28This is a very lovely young man.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Ha-ha.- And he's going to try and charm you so badly.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- All right.- OK.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35So, could you do £60, maybe?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Yes, yes, all right. For Bargain Hunt.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Well, what a charmer.- I know. - Well done, Dan, well done.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47And, madam, thank you so much indeed. That's so generous of you.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- Thank you so much.- Shake the lovely lady's hand. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51Marvellous, thank you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Put that thing down.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Give me a high-five.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- And there's some cake coming your way.- Let's do it!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- Mmm.- Now, what do you fancy, chocolate cake?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Oh, no, I like carrot cake. - Carrot cake?- Lemon drizzle.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07So, as they head off for something scrummy,
0:19:07 > 0:19:10the Reds are still on the hunt for their final item.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Anything taking their fancy?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- Hmm.- So, it's got the atomiser. - Pretty.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18I like the colour.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So, £90 is the ticket price.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Let's talk price first before we talk about the thing.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30In auction, scent bottles with the atomiser -
0:19:30 > 0:19:31£30, £50.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- £50 perhaps because of the enamelling.- Right.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36But we're still quite a long way from the 90.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38What would be your best on that?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- You could do it for 60?- 60.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Really, the person who is going to be looking at buying this is
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- probably a collector.- Yeah.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46So I'm guessing for somebody like that -
0:19:46 > 0:19:49condition is key for a collector.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Exactly. Let's just have a look at the mark on here.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Yes, we've got... Oh.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59So, that's quite nice. We've got sterling on there.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- The thing that I like about this is that it's all original.- Yeah.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- You know, it's as it should be. - But it's all sterling silver, is it?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07This is sterling silver.
0:20:07 > 0:20:08This is brass.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So the actual mechanism is brass.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- I think that's a nice example.- Yeah.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I think it's got a little bit of glass, it...in date,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- it's probably Edwardian, I would say.- Oh, right.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23And the enamel, as far as I can see, is perfect, which is crucial.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Yeah, yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I think it's... It sounds to me like it's the top end of what you..
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I'm not going to pretend, I would say it is the top end
0:20:30 > 0:20:33but I would also say it's the best option we've looked at, probably.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- We should go for it.- Let's do it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37Bit of a risky disky.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Yeah, got to have one risky item. - Yeah.- Risk it for a biscuit?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- Yeah, OK. Let's do it. - Let's do it.- Great!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44All three done. Put it there!
0:20:44 > 0:20:45- Yay!- Yay!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Crikey, a buy in the first minute
0:20:48 > 0:20:50and a buy in the last.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Time's up, and just as well by the looks of it.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Well, enjoy, you two. Cheers. - Cheers.- Cheers.- Well done.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Now, shall we remind ourselves what the Reds bought?
0:21:00 > 0:21:06The late 19th, early 20th century travel clock cost them £75.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11They splashed out £135 on the Moorcroft jug.
0:21:13 > 0:21:18And they paid £60 for the cut glass silver and enamel mounted atomiser.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21OK, you lovebirds.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Which is your favourite piece?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I think it's going to be the clock.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Is it? OK.- The little clock. - Did you get it?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Absolutely, the clock stood out, yeah.- Yeah.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- I think it will, actually.- Do you? - Amongst all the rest of it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Yeah, I agree, yes.- Yes.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- You're very agreeable, aren't you? - Yeah, we are.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- It's unusual.- We get to this stage. - BOTH:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42What do you mean, this stage? You're not on the way out, you know?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- RED TEAM:- Ha-ha-ha. - You're still young!
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- How much did you spend in total? - £270, Tim.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51- 270... I'd like £30 of leftover lolly, please.- Kerching!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Kerching, just like that. Very, very quickly.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56So, Kate Bliss, this is a challenge cos £30 is not much, is it?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- It's not that much, no. - Sorry, Kate.- Sorry.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01They've been a challenge all the way through, actually.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04- Ha-ha-ha.- Ha-ha-ha. - They've been fantastic.- Good.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06Well, enjoy searching for your bonus buy
0:22:06 > 0:22:07and go and have a nice cup of tea
0:22:07 > 0:22:10cos we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13And they paid £50 for the early 20th century
0:22:13 > 0:22:16glass and silver vesta holder - with the matches.
0:22:17 > 0:22:23They smelt out the Middle Eastern brass incense burner for £42.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28And finally, the pair of rustic horseshoe jardiniere stands
0:22:28 > 0:22:31set them back £60.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- OK, you lovebirds, how you getting on?- Good.- Brilliant.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Did you have a nice time? - Lovely time, yes.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Kathy, tell me which is your favourite piece.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39Ah, the matchstick holder, I think.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Oh, is it?- Yes.- Favourite? - Yeah, very interesting.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Do you agree with that, Dan? - Absolutely.- You do.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45Very sensible.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47And, will that bring the biggest profit?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- No, the lotus flower...- Jobby...
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- ..heat thing...- Incense burner.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Incense burner.- Lovely. Do you agree with that, Dan?
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- I do.- Very sensible. - BOTH:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Your relationship is going places, I can tell you.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01And how much did you spend in to-to?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03We spent £152.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Did you?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Yes, we did.- Please may I have £148?- Yes, you may.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08I need it badly. Thank you.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11So badly, I'm going to give it straight to the Harper.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12Ha-ha. Thank you very much.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Now, you've been around a bit, David -
0:23:14 > 0:23:16got any idea what you're going to go for, for these?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20I have seen something that, if I get it for the money,
0:23:20 > 0:23:25we will have never seen anything like it ever, and it relates very
0:23:25 > 0:23:29much to something that one of you two are incredibly interested in.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- He's very enigmatic, isn't he? - Thank you.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Well, that's most of the programme used up.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Thank you very much, David. - ALL:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37On a happy note, I suggest you shove off and see if you can find it.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38And very good luck.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44Meanwhile, I'm going to take you on a silvery journey around the world.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Well, this is an amusing array of silver, isn't it?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56When, I woke up this morning I didn't think that
0:23:56 > 0:24:01I was going to find two beautiful modernist Swedish candlesticks.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04But that's what I did find.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Here in Exeter! Isn't that extraordinary?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10The design of these things is just so simple.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And because it's got this broad circular base,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16I promise you - no matter what happens around the dining table,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19the candle in this candle holder is never going to tip over.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21That's the cunning design bit.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27And then if you happen to have any wax dribbling around,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30it'll gather in this dish here.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34All in all then, this is cunning Swedish design.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39I love it because this is actually fully hallmarked silver.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41And what might they be worth?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Well, if you did a bit of negotiation,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47you might buy the pair for £180.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50What might they be worth in a specialist mid-20th century
0:24:50 > 0:24:52design sale?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55I think the top end of £400-£600.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So there's a profit in those.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02Next up, is the most traditional of traditional Edwardian pieces
0:25:02 > 0:25:05of silver, a little inkwell.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Ordinarily, you would expect a little Chester Silver inkwell
0:25:09 > 0:25:12like this to be priced between £60 and £80.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16Except it has a very unusual feature.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Cos if I lift up the lid like that
0:25:18 > 0:25:22and apply my finger to the side button, what happens?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Ooh, look at that!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26A whole section lifts up
0:25:26 > 0:25:31and it reveals a container for putting your postage stamp in.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33How neat is that?
0:25:33 > 0:25:37And that will add significantly to this piece's value.
0:25:37 > 0:25:43If you look at the label, look, the dealer is after £88 for it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48But if you value in the novelty of the secret stamp container,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51that transforms this thing into something that
0:25:51 > 0:25:55should bring between £200 and £300.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57So there's a profit in that.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02And as if to cap this tour of the fair here in Exeter,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I've found this little spoon.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08It's too small for a teaspoon, it's an oddball shape for a coffee spoon,
0:26:08 > 0:26:12but it would go into an egg beautifully.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15The thing to note about this is the very oddball stem.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19If I revolve it like that you can see that that stem
0:26:19 > 0:26:22is made up of a twisted flat piece of silver.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27So very much an arts and craftsy feel to this spoon.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Even more intriguingly, when you look at the mark,
0:26:29 > 0:26:34it says 925, so that's the standard of silver but next door to that is
0:26:34 > 0:26:38a tiny little mark that just happens to have a kangaroo on it,
0:26:38 > 0:26:42which would indicate that this egg spoon, once upon a time,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44managed to hop over from Australia.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Ha!
0:26:45 > 0:26:47And what does that do to the value?
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Well, that egg spoon, you can
0:26:49 > 0:26:53buy on a stall around the corner for £8 today.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Properly catalogued and perhaps available on the internet
0:26:57 > 0:26:59for our Australian cousins to bid on,
0:26:59 > 0:27:04would transform its value, I reckon, to between £80 and £120.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08So, as they say over there, "That's a beaut, mate!"
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Five, 55,
0:27:14 > 0:27:1660, 65.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Brian Goodison-Blanks is our man of the moment at
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Bearnes Hampton and Littlewood's saleroom.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Lovely to see you, Brian. - Nice to see you again.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31And we've got a pretty samey group, I'd say, for the Reds.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34The exception being the little timepiece.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Tell us about that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's by the Ansonia Clock Company, so it's an American clock.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And it's known as the 'Bee', a particular sort of model that
0:27:41 > 0:27:42they produced around about 1880.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It's just a little travelling clock.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45The original ones came in a small box
0:27:45 > 0:27:48with the two bees on the travelling clock.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Fun little thing.- It's in good nick. - It is, it's in good condition.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53But it's probably only about £30-£40.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56OK, they paid £75. So that's a problem.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Next is the Moorcroft jug.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Looks just like an old one,
0:27:59 > 0:28:00feels just like an old one,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03smells like an old one, but it's, in fact, a new one.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It is, it is very difficult sometimes for Moorcroft pieces
0:28:06 > 0:28:08because they reproduced a lot of the old patterns
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and this is the pomegranate and blue finch pattern.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11But unfortunately this has the
0:28:11 > 0:28:13iron mark on the bottom which dates it to 1995.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Does it really?- Yes.- Dear, oh, dear.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17What's your estimate?
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Well, there're still collectors out there for these sort of pieces
0:28:20 > 0:28:23and with the current market it's probably about £50-£70.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Ah, £135 they paid.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27That's going to be their killer, I'm afraid.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29And, lastly, the atomiser.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Yes, fun little thing, isn't it?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33For ladies perfumes or toilet waters.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35And with your green enamelling which is in good condition
0:28:35 > 0:28:37but it's probably only about £20-£40.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- Well, that, I fear, is the right estimate because they paid 60.- OK.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44They paid the top retail price. There we go.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Well, all in all, I'm afraid this is not looking so pretty for the Reds.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50They're going to need their bonus buy. Let's go and have a look.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Angie and Paul, happy?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- Very happy.- Yes, very happy. - Yes, very, very happy.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- Now, listen, you spent the 270. I'm so proud of you.- Oh!
0:28:56 > 0:28:57OK, £30 left over.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I'm going to take the rag off so that Kate can show off her wares.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- Ta-da!- Ooh!- Oh.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Look at those little beauties.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07They are big beauties, aren't they?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- They're quite unusual, Kate. - They are.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Oh, there's a little bit of a blue tinge going on here.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Tell us about it, Kate.- OK. - Where did you find these?
0:29:15 > 0:29:17So...
0:29:17 > 0:29:18They are French.
0:29:19 > 0:29:201930s in date.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Very Art Deco, actually.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26They are by a factory called Ezan,
0:29:26 > 0:29:30who were designers of glass in France in the 1930s
0:29:30 > 0:29:34and were very well known for making lampshades in glass,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37lovely opalescent glass which is this lovely bluey opaque
0:29:37 > 0:29:39sheen it's got to it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Which obviously when it's lit up...
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- Yeah.- ..with a bulb underneath will really come to life.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47But they were only £30.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- You spent the full 30? - I blew the lot.- £15 a piece.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53And I have to say, it took a lot of talking to get it down to 30.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Really?
0:29:54 > 0:29:56That, I would say is a pretty good old sniplet.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I'm not allowed to say anything but I can't keep...
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- And you think there's... - ..keep in check any longer.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02..a bit of profit in there?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- If there's any justice in the world, Paul...- Ha-ha-ha, yeah.
0:30:05 > 0:30:06..there should be.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08We've heard that before, haven't we? Ha-ha.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Very good. Well done, Kate. - OK, yes, good for you.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13OK, we've got a good prediction of profit from Kate.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15You don't pick right now, you pick after the sale
0:30:15 > 0:30:17of your first three items.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20So let's find out if the auctioneer likes Kate's lampshades.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25OK, Brian. Don't get put in the shade by these.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29They're a rather sort of interesting colour, aren't they?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32They're quite nice sort of decoration and very topical.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Very, very much in the style of Lalique and Sabinos,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- the ones we all know.- Hmm.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Age of these - not a great deal.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Probably reproduced late 20th-century.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42Right.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43But still decorative
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and people out there are interested in modern lighting and lamps.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Yeah.- So still perhaps £100-£120 for them.
0:30:49 > 0:30:50You think as much as that?!
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Possibly cos they're that sort of style and modern lighting as well.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Well, Kate Bliss paid £30.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59I tell you, if you could get £100-£150
0:30:59 > 0:31:01that transforms the situation.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Oh, I'm already feeling
0:31:03 > 0:31:05nice and warm about that.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Good. Anyway, that's it from the Reds.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Now for the Blues.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09A vesta holder.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Well, it's sort of typical of the period, isn't it?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15When smoking was a lot more popular and fashionable in the 1920s,
0:31:15 > 0:31:191930s, and interesting with the little glass pieces on there
0:31:19 > 0:31:21for striking the non-safety matches.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Yeah.- Probably more useful as a toothpick holder these days.
0:31:24 > 0:31:25That's a good idea.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Erm, how much?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Probably about £10-£20.
0:31:28 > 0:31:29That is quite picky.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- They paid 50.- Right.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35OK, now, let's move forward to the incense burner.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Yes, it's a fun little thing, isn't it?- Looks like a Lotus.
0:31:37 > 0:31:38It does, and if you unscrew it
0:31:38 > 0:31:41then the leaves come out opened for your incense.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44It's machine cut thread to the bottom which would indicate that it's probably very modern.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Nicely made. Got the right metal. It's made of bronze.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- How much?- About £10-£15.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Oh, dear, £42.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52So that's two killers.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56And then the last item which has to be fun
0:31:56 > 0:31:59is the pair of horseshoe form planters.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yes, they're rather good fun, aren't they?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Just right for the West Country really.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05The thing is, I think they are old horseshoes, aren't they?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07That have been used up.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Yes, they're obviously discarded horseshoes from
0:32:09 > 0:32:12the blacksmiths who have just decided to knock them up together.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Yeah, it's a good idea. The ultimate in recycling.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15How much?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18They are rather decorative so I think they are probably £60-£100.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Hey, clippety-clop. £60 paid.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23There is a potential profit there.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Maybe they won't need their bonus buy after all,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27but let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30KD, Kathy and Dan.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31£152 you spent.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34£148 went across to the chief.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Now, I'm going to help you out here, Dave.- Thank you, Tim.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Cos I'm just going to take this off, gently like.- OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40And reveal!
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Right.- Oh.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44We're thinking... Yes, OK.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46That was my response as well after I'd bought it.
0:32:46 > 0:32:47- BOTH:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- But, Kathy, I couldn't resist it. - It's to do with me!
0:32:50 > 0:32:51It IS to do with you.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52- Photography.- Oh, lovely.
0:32:52 > 0:32:58It is an incredibly well-made plaque with a bronze insert there.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02An award given to a stunning photographer in that year.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03- So if I take that...- Yep.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Because this is a very difficult thing to show, isn't it?- Yes.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09We go from '43 to 1971.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10It's a really cool thing.
0:33:10 > 0:33:16What it's worth - you know seriously I just have no idea at all.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17- It could bomb or fly.- OK.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19I think that's the message he's giving you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- This is a high risk. High energy strategy.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- What did you pay? - Well, I paid the money - £90.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- £90.- I think I paid strong money for it.- Yeah.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Well, it's the top end. What's the most optimistic?
0:33:32 > 0:33:36I wouldn't be surprised if it made £20
0:33:36 > 0:33:37or £250.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Wow.- Absolutely...- That's quite a wide spectrum. Ha-ha-ha.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Thank you very much.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45I mean, if you're really broke, right, and you've got this
0:33:45 > 0:33:50thing that could make you everything back or make it doubly worse...
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Ha-ha-ha...- ..then, you know, you've got to think it through,
0:33:53 > 0:33:54haven't you?
0:33:54 > 0:33:55- Yeah.- Hmm.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57- I love it, I think it's great. - You love it? Yeah, yeah.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00OK. Well, you're eternally optimistic which is lovely.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Great couple. Anyway, there it is.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Why don't we now find out for the audience at home what the
0:34:05 > 0:34:07auctioneer thinks about Dave's plaque.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11There we are, somebody else's presentation plaque,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13it looks like to me.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14Yes, and it's great.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17It's the British Photographers' Association,
0:34:17 > 0:34:18in the south-west.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20It's very difficult with pieces like this
0:34:20 > 0:34:24cos it's just a small, sort of, professional photographers group
0:34:24 > 0:34:26and so the history is very difficult to obtain.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30But, it was presented from the '50s through to the '70s.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32It's quite nicely cast bronze.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35But it's a very, very specific item
0:34:35 > 0:34:37so it's limited in its appeal, I'm afraid.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Hmm, and that makes it difficult to sell.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42And that means you could struggle up on that rostrum with that,
0:34:42 > 0:34:43in a minute.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I think I may do a little bit, but I'll do my best.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47I'm sure you'll do your best. But, it could be - how much?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49£20-£30.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51It's probably £30-£50 to a collector, perhaps.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53OK, well David Harper's taken a punt and I think
0:34:53 > 0:34:56if they go with that, and they make a profit,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59I'll probably eat my hat. Again.
0:34:59 > 0:35:00Ha-ha-ha.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02- Anyway, we'll find out in a minute. - Yes.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Thank you very, very much, Brian, that's great.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Thank you.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07At 20 I have in the room.
0:35:07 > 0:35:0822 internet.
0:35:08 > 0:35:1022, 25.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12And I'm selling then.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13How are you feeling, Ange?
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Bit nervous to be honest, Tim. - What about you, Paul?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17No, no, looking forward to it.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Are you just solid? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20Reliable? Yeah.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- Is this typical of him? - Yes, solid, reliable, yes, yes.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25- You're the effervescent one, are you?- Mad, yeah.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I didn't say that. You're in sales.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30- Excitable.- Ah, excitable, yes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32There's no point in going out to sell something
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- if you don't believe in it. - Absolutely.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- You've got to give it a good old punt.- Yes, absolutely.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Exactly, that's why you're so good at it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Now, first up then - the Bee circular travelling timepiece
0:35:41 > 0:35:42and here it comes.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45A little clock there for you. And what am I saying for that?
0:35:45 > 0:35:46£40?
0:35:46 > 0:35:47£40 for the clock?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Start at 20 then. £20.
0:35:50 > 0:35:5220 I have straightaway for the clock at 20.
0:35:52 > 0:35:53And two now elsewhere.
0:35:53 > 0:35:5622, 25, 28.
0:35:56 > 0:35:5728? Can't see you, 28.
0:35:57 > 0:36:0130, 32, 35, 38.
0:36:01 > 0:36:0235 here.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0438 elsewhere now.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Quite sure then. Clock for £35, I need now.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07- No way.- No.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Selling then, at 35...
0:36:09 > 0:36:10BANGS GAVEL
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- I don't like the look of this. - That's a shocker.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1635 is, I'm afraid, -£40.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- That's not good.- It's confirmed our worst fears.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Next one is the Moorcroft pottery jug
0:36:20 > 0:36:23of pomegranate and blue finch pattern.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24And what am I saying for that?
0:36:24 > 0:36:2550.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26At five now elsewhere.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27At £50 for the jug.
0:36:27 > 0:36:3055, 60, 65, no?
0:36:30 > 0:36:33At £60 standing then, looking for five now elsewhere.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Five internet, are you in?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37No, it's in the room now at £60.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I'm selling then at 60.
0:36:39 > 0:36:40BANG
0:36:40 > 0:36:41Dear Lord.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43£60 is 40 short of 100.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45That is -£75.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48So the atomiser there for you.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50And, again, what am I saying for that?
0:36:50 > 0:36:51£40.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Start at 20.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54Come on.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5620, thank you. At £20 I have.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58And two now, elsewhere.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00The atomiser for the gentleman at 20.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01And two at all elsewhere?
0:37:01 > 0:37:0322, I can see you now.
0:37:03 > 0:37:0525, 28, 30.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Come on, come on.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Sure? At 30 standing then.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Looking for two now elsewhere.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12No, at 30 by the cabinets then.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- 32 - fresh place.- Ooh.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- 35, sir.- Ah, there's hope, there's hope.- There's hope.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Two seated then. Thank you, sir. At £32. And selling now.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21You're quite sure and all done?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23BANG
0:37:23 > 0:37:24£32 is -£28.
0:37:24 > 0:37:30- It's -£143.- I don't believe...
0:37:30 > 0:37:33-£143? Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35So, are we going to go with the bonus buy?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37If we going to lose, let's lose big.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Exactly. So, we're going with it then, yes?
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Yes, I think we should, Tim.- Yes, I think so.- Fine.- Decision made.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43No mucking about. Here we go.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45So the pair of lamp shades there.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49And interest here with me at 35, 40, 45, 50.
0:37:49 > 0:37:50(Profit! First time.)
0:37:50 > 0:37:53£50 here. 55, do I see elsewhere? You quite sure then?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55With me at £50, commission bid has it here.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Looking for five now in the room.
0:37:57 > 0:37:5955. At 55, I'm out now.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01At 55 it's yours, madam, at 55.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03And 60 now at all? In the room in the room dead and centre then
0:38:03 > 0:38:04at 55...
0:38:04 > 0:38:06You've doubled your money, Kate.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07BANG
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Well done but not quite enough. At 55...is +£25,
0:38:11 > 0:38:13-118.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16-£118.
0:38:16 > 0:38:17Could be a winning score.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Ha-ha.- Ha-ha.- Ha-ha.- Really?!
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Do you know how the Reds got on? - No, no idea.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Dan, you haven't been chatting to them? Good.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31- Kathy, you found the vesta holder. - Yes.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Which is a sweet little thing, isn't it?
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Yes, it's my favourite, I think.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37With the cut bit you can strike a match on and all that.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38£50 paid.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40His estimate, I'm afraid, is rather depressing.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41It's £10-£20.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Oh, dear.- Oh.- Oh, gosh.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47- For solid silver and cut glass that's all he thinks it's worth.- OK.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Anyway, first up is the vesta holder. And here it comes.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Lot 237. The early 20th century glass and silver vesta holder.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55And, what am I saying for that?
0:38:55 > 0:38:56£20?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58- Start me at 10.- Oh, come on.
0:38:58 > 0:39:0010, thank you, sir. Won't go any lower than that.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02At £10.
0:39:02 > 0:39:03And 12 now, at all?
0:39:03 > 0:39:0812, thank you. 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28.
0:39:08 > 0:39:1025 gentleman seated then.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Eight at all elsewhere?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13At 25, original bidder at 25.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14And eight I'm looking for.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16At 25 now, and all done.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18BANG
0:39:18 > 0:39:21£25 is better than £10-£20.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24But still unfortunately it's -25 in the score line.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25Now...
0:39:25 > 0:39:28So the incense burner, what am I saying for that?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- £10.- Cool. - £10 straightaway, thank you.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33At £10. And 12 now.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36At £10 only. Do I see 12 at all?
0:39:36 > 0:39:38At £10 then. At £10. And 12 at all?
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Ooh!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Quite sure then, at the maiden bid of 10.
0:39:42 > 0:39:43BANGS
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- Gosh.- That's -£32, OK.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Now, girls.- Calm down now.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54Lot 239 is the pair of rustic horseshoe garden jardiniere stands.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56And, what am I saying for those?
0:39:56 > 0:39:57£100.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Better.- £100?
0:40:00 > 0:40:01Start at 40, if you will.
0:40:01 > 0:40:02HE MOUTHS
0:40:02 > 0:40:0440, thank you. At £40.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06At 45, 50, 55?
0:40:06 > 0:40:0755 here then.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10At 55, and 60? I'm out then.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11It's £55 here.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13- Somebody knows what they're worth. - Come on.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15At £55. And 60 at all?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Quite sure then, I'll sell here at 55...
0:40:18 > 0:40:19BANG
0:40:19 > 0:40:20No, it's not happened.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22It's £55.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25And that, sadly, is -£5.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Which means you -£62 overall.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Now, the photographer's plaque.
0:40:29 > 0:40:30How do we feel about that?
0:40:30 > 0:40:35£90 paid. Are you going to go with it and risk £90 for a bit more?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37- Ho-ho-ho.- You know what I think?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- I do quite like it.- You do like it? - And you know what, never give up.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42- Let's go for it.- Ha!
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- Good motto.- Let's go for it.- Yeah. - Let's do it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45- Is that the answer?- Why not?
0:40:45 > 0:40:47OK, here it comes.
0:40:47 > 0:40:5020th century oak and bronze presentation plaque.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52An interesting piece.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56And local interest here with me at 35, 45, 50.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57- £50 here.- (Oh!)
0:40:57 > 0:41:00At 50 with me. And five now, elsewhere.
0:41:00 > 0:41:0555, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85,
0:41:05 > 0:41:0890, 95, 100, 110. 110.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Commission is out then. With the gentleman in the room at £110.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12Come on!
0:41:12 > 0:41:13The man's done it again!
0:41:13 > 0:41:15All done now. At £110 then.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17BANG
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Amazing.- Yes!
0:41:20 > 0:41:21£110!
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- I'm shocked. - Well, what were you nervous about?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26What have you got to be nervous about?
0:41:26 > 0:41:27That is fantastic, isn't it?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29That is +£20.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Whoever would have thought that?
0:41:31 > 0:41:34Not me! And these kids - they went with it,
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- they saw the potential.- Yes, we did.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- Good on you.- Well done. - That's a proper result.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39I'm so pleased.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Anyway, it makes the overall score a bit more palatable.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44Which is -£42.
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Good.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46And -£42 could be a winning score
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- so don't say a word to the Reds. - Nothing.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51MUSIC: "The Only Way Is Up" by Yazz
0:41:53 > 0:41:54Well, well, well.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56What excitement we've had today, haven't we?
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- Oh, we have.- Yes!
0:41:58 > 0:42:01It's enough to make you want to throw each other around, I tell you.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02- ALL:- Ha-ha-ha!
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Anyway, the team that's quite considerably behind in the score
0:42:05 > 0:42:07just happens to be the Reds.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Oh.- Knew it.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- -£118.- Ha-ha-ha.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Made up of some solid losses. - RED TEAM:- Ha-ha-ha.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- All the way through. - There certainly were.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20What I love about you, Angie, is that you can take it on the chin,
0:42:20 > 0:42:21- right?- Oh, yes.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23You won't be a moaning minnie about this, will you?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- You know, on another day it could have been very different.- Yes.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30As it was though, the £25 profit from the opaline glass shades
0:42:30 > 0:42:32was brilliant, Kate. So, thank you very much for that.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34And you've been just fantastic, you and Paul.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Now, the victors today are victors
0:42:36 > 0:42:39cos they've only managed to lose £42.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40- Yes!- Yes!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43And it would have been worse without David Harper's £20 credit,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45so well done for that.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48- Thank you.- Nobody ever thought that bronze lump could possibly
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- be translated into raw cash. - Me especially!
0:42:50 > 0:42:52But anyway, there we are. The kids knew though, didn't you?
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- You knew.- Yes, we did. - Anyway, have you had a nice time?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Lovely.- Great. - Very nice to see you, Dan.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01- ALL:- Yes!
