0:00:08 > 0:00:13Epsom racecourse is the venue for today's show. Hello.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And we'll have no horsing about from our teams either,
0:00:16 > 0:00:19so giddy up and let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:49 > 0:00:55The town of Epsom sits on the chalk downland of the North Downs
0:00:55 > 0:00:57here in Surrey.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58The big question today is,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02which of our teams will chalk up a victory at auction?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Will it be the Reds or will it be the Blues?
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Well, punters, let's have a quick peek at what's coming up.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13While the Reds put their best hooves forward...
0:01:13 > 0:01:16I'm going to unleash you two.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- You're going to be in charge. I'll empower you. Off you go.- Which way?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I don't know!
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- ..the Blues stumble into worrying territory.- This is...
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Keep me away from here.- OK. - This is my idea of heaven!- Right.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30Let's meet the teams.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38So, for the Reds today we have a husband and wife combo from heaven.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40It's Geoff and Vicky.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And for the Blues, we have mother and son, Angie and Adam.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.- Now, Geoffrey, you're the history buff.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49What's your special subject?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, my special subject is the Battle of Britain.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I answered questions on Mastermind on Chief Marshal Lord Dowding.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- How did you get on?- Lost by a point. Won the specialist subject, though.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Oh, that's bad luck, isn't it? - I know.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03But was it really nerve-racking, that? I bet it was.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06It is, just the spotlight on you. And I've come back for more.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Yeah, I know, but we're not going to put you in a black, shiny chair,
0:02:08 > 0:02:11we're going to give you money to go out and multiply with.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13And buy a black, shiny chair.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Well, maybe, if you think it will make a profit.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Now, Vicky, it says here that you are a pair of romantics.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Yes. We met at a friend's wedding.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23He was best man, I was friend of the bride.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25He took me to Paris to propose
0:02:25 > 0:02:29and we got married the following year on Valentine's Day.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31And we just celebrated our silver wedding.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- And he took me back to Paris. - Did he really?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- We stayed near the Eiffel Tower. - I don't believe it!- Yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- I mean, how mushy is that?- I know! - And what about antiques knowledge?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Do you know anything at all? - Not a lot, but I do like Art Deco.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46And I like gold jewellery with some lovely coloured stones.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Is that what you're going to be buying today?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Yes, that's what I would like to buy.- Are you going to blow the lot?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53No, we'd like to buy cheap because we like to make lots of profit.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Well, good luck with that ambition. - Thank you.- Now to the Blues.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Adam, you're a DJ.- Yes.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- What sort of music do you like? - Reggae music the most.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04And you've been doing it for how long?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- About 12 years now.- So how many vinyl records have you got?
0:03:07 > 0:03:12I've got 1,000 seven-inch singles and 200 or 300 LPs.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Why reggae? What got you going with that?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Erm, I travelled round Australia when I was younger,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19working on Aboriginal fairgrounds.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22And the guy that ran it was an Aboriginal chap
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- and listened to a lot of Bob Marley. - Mm.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27And, yeah, I took my inspiration from there.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Angie, you're a great cook. Tell us about that.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32You're "queen of the quiche", it says.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I'm not sure about the "great", but I do love cooking.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- And the "quiche queen" has come from this one here, really.- Has it?- Yeah.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42All I had for his packed lunch when he was a student one day was a quiche
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and he thought it wasn't quite the thing to take in. I said, "That's it."
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- So he took it and came back and said they want an order for tomorrow.- Oh!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54What, he tried giving it away? And they...
0:03:54 > 0:03:56I think they enjoyed the bits they got.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- You like collecting food-related items also?- Yes, I do.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01My kitchen is a bit full now, so I've had to stop.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05Pie funnels, knife rests, biscuit barrels, yeah.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Are you going to go for a bit of kitchenalia if you find it today?
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- I am.- At the right price.- If I find it at the right price, but yes.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Well, talking about price, here comes your £300. There you go.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18£300. You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Cor, I don't half fancy a bit of quiche myself!
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Today, the guiding light for the Reds is Thomas Plant.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33And let's unmask the expert for the Blues - it's Claire Rawle.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- Geoff, Vicky, are you excited? - Yeah, absolutely.- Yes, very.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- What are your tactics? - To spend as little as possible.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- 4.99, I had in mind. - 4.99?- 4.99.- Is that right?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yes, that's right, definitely. You want to make a big profit.
0:04:55 > 0:04:59- We want to win.- If you do that, I'll blow the lot on the Bonus Buy.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- Oh, my God!- Oh, no! Oh, no! - Let's go.- OK.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- Strategy today, now then... What's...- I'm going for bargains. - You're going for bargains?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm going for bargains. Definitely going for bargains.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- Yeah, yeah.- And Adam? I figure spend big to win big.- Oh, OK.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- So you're going to blow the lot... - And I'm going to rein him in.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Good, good.- I'm going to rein him in.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- And we'll hope to find a happy medium, I guess.- OK.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I fear we may have a couple of spendthrift teams today.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Right, let's go and see what we can find, shall we?- Excellent.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29OK, come on then.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36- Yes.- Erm...
0:05:36 > 0:05:38Customs and Excise.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Do they sell, as a rule?
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Geoff, enough of that! Now, concentrate, you pair.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I don't think so on that one, particularly.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49You know, you just went across and you thought,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- "Yeah, there's nothing here." And that's very naughty.- Yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56There's a lovely spice jar, there's a piece of Tudric there,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58some cribbage, a timepiece.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03On here, there are possible items of profit. All on there.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Tudric thing looks nice, because it looks like a set.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07- There you are, you see?- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10There you are, you just zipped past the Tudric.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Yes, it's three pieces, which is unusual.- What's the number, 14...?
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- 1446.- It's quite a late number in the Tudric range.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Does it matter that it's got a big dent on that?- Yes.- It does.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Pewter was a very difficult metal.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- But look at that lovely cane handle. - That's beautiful.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- Isn't that beautiful?- It feels so...
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- It's quite heavy. - Of course it's heavy!- Yeah.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Put it down. I think we are done with that one.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's a shame, it's got a dent on it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- It's nice and it's good that it is named, isn't it?- Yes.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39- Let's move on.- Yes, please.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Found anything you like yet, Blues? - That's a cute little money box.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Yeah.- George VI cipher on it, so... - Look at these on here.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50These are quite collectable, the old sort of car badges.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Yes! Oh, look at these masks. I used to collect masks.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- You've got a bunch of those.- Did you? - Yes. I had to stop.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Well, Angie's certainly not short of ideas, or enthusiasm!
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Now, how are the Reds getting on?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Thinking the handbag.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- So which one did you like the most? - Oh, I don't know.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08That's more my colouring, this one here.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- So what did you like about this? - I like the colour and the shape.
0:07:12 > 0:07:17Yeah, and the fact you've got a nice bit of brass, contrasting brass.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22- Very stylish. 1950s. Sort of like an ice bucket bag, isn't it?- Yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I think, looking at the price tag, it is going to be too expensive.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Let's carry on looking.- OK.- Is that all right?- Lovely.- Yeah, fine.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32It certainly doesn't fit Geoff's £4.99 brief!
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Now, it looks like the Blues have found a familiar stall.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- There's a kitchen thing for you. - Oh, yeah, look, it's spices.- Oh, yes!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43- Yes...- Look at that!
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- Oh, OK.- Oh, dear. Very nice price, too.- Nothing wrong with that price!
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Keep him away from it, for goodness' sake!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Yeah.- I quite like the pewter jug next to it.- In actual fact, it is collectable.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57People like treen, it's kitchenalia, but we need to get it down a reasonable amount from there.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59So it depends, you know, they might be negotiable.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Do you like it, though?- I actually do. I quite like wood as well.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Nice little spice tower, isn't it? - That would look lovely in your kitchen.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- That's not what you're doing today! - Not that it's...
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- the aim of the game today.- You've got to sell this lot, remember!
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Do you want to have a closer look at it?- Yes, I think I would. Yes.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Treen spice tower.- So you're saying that's the make?
0:08:19 > 0:08:24Treen is actually a term for turned wood. It is a wooden object.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Very often, it's fruitwood that they used for treen, because it is a softer wood.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I mean, this will date from the turn of the century.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32It could be Edwardian, late Victorian.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- It's got a nice pattern to it. - And you can see it has been used, can't you?- Yes, yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- It is a nice thing. - It's not perfect, but it's...
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Yeah, but nice commercial item.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- Would never spend that sort of money.- No.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I don't know, it depends how generous the gentleman is
0:08:45 > 0:08:47with his very best price, really.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49What is your best price on this one?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- How much have I got on there? - We've got 125 on it at the moment.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The rock bottom is 95.
0:08:54 > 0:08:5680?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- I'll take 85.- 85? Hmm.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02ADAM: Is 80 our...top?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Yeah, I think 80 is... Yeah.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07OK, 80, yeah, yeah.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Sold.- That is beautiful.- Yeah. I think there could be a small profit.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I don't think it'll be a huge profit, but kitchenalia is very collectable.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- It's a very tactile object, isn't it?- Yes.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- As long as you're happy? - Yeah, love it. Yeah, let's do it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Interesting, we got something that we both like! Ahhh!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25So, mother and son are in total agreement.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28The Blue team have gone for some treen.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31And what are the Reds angling after?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Stuffed fish?- No, I've eaten, thanks. - You've eaten fish?- Geoff!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38The Reds are hooked on fishing at the moment.
0:09:38 > 0:09:43- It's acrylic, I think, it's plastic. - Perspex.- Perspex or acrylic, yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46- It has got these fishing flies on it. - Let me have a look.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51So you've got the Perspex 1960s fisherman's lighter.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54It's made in Japan, not made by anybody.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58- The best examples are by Dunhill... - Oh, right.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00..and they are called aquarium ones.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- It does look very decorative, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I think it's a fun thing for fishermen to have.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09You've got two types of collector - fishermen and lighter collectors.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- £18 is on it. What's the best on that?- 15.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Could you say 12?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Because I'm not a fisherman, so I know nothing about fish!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20We love the programme, but I just don't want to lose any money.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- He doesn't want to lose money, does he?- £15, I think...
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Do you want to buy that one? - Yes, we do.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Yes, please.- Thank you very much.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Yes, please, can we...?- Bargain. - Thank you.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- SELLER:- Thanks very much.- Thank you.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- Well, first buy.- Thank you. - Thank you.- We're going to move on.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Cast our net.- Yes.- "Cast our net." He's full of them today, isn't he?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Oh, I'm sorry!- How do you survive?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I don't... 25 years on, I don't know!
0:10:41 > 0:10:45That's left me reeling. Well done, Reds. Your first item for £15.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49What can we buy now? What can we buy now?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Now this, unfortunately... Keep me away from here.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56At this table, anything for £3! This is my idea of heaven.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Well, it ain't mine, Ange.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- OK. You've got to remember profit. - I know.- Profits.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Well said, Claire!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06One needs to be calculated, controlled and focused on this show.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- SHE GASPS - Look, serviette rings! No, they're not. No, no, go away.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12No, it's sugar tongs. I've got a thing about wood today, I think.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- I seem to remember someone likes knife rests.- That's me.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Amongst the napkin rings, sugar tongs...
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- They are cute, aren't they? - ..bits of wood...
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Oh, look at... Oh! - I like that, but...
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Oh, the opera glasses? - Opera glasses.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Oh, yes, look, you've come clearer now.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- No.- I have to say, I rather love that.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- It's very easy at this stage to start drifting.- Yes, it is.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I think I'm quite focused. - Right, OK.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- Do you want to wander up here, just in case there's anything else we can focus on?- Y-Y-Yes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Haven't you focused on enough already, Blues? Let's join the Reds.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It looks like Geoff has spotted some tin.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52What do you think of this? I'm a great fan of the Festival of Britain.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Are you?- Yes. - Why are you such a fan?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Because it's very retro for me, being born in '57.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- It's just before my time. - Giving away your age, Geoff!- Sorry!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03One of our friends' uncles, who's dead now, was Abram Games,
0:12:03 > 0:12:04- and he designed that logo.- Did he?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- Because it's Festival of Britain, it's a toffee tin. 1951.- Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10What do you really like about it?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14I just like the fact that the Festival of Britain was of an era,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17it was after the war, things coming forward, people looking at design.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- That is a very iconic logo, isn't it?- Yes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- What's the best price, please? - The best price would be £10. Yes.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Do you really want this at a tenner? - Erm, how battered is it?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- Because I couldn't see from here. - Well, it is quite battered.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- I mean, it's 1951.- I think we'll go for that.- You want to go for it?
0:12:34 > 0:12:37There are collectors of Festival of Britain. Not just me, so...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- That's a purchase.- SELLER: Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- And that's two items down for the Reds.- You've hardly spent anything.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- We've got a lot of money left. - A lot of money left. £25...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- I got the feeling...- Do you mean I can buy some jewellery now?
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Well, I was going to say that, you know, Geoff...
0:12:52 > 0:12:56- there has been a bit of railroading. - There has been.- I don't mind.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Are you sure?- I don't mind. - I think it's now your choice.- Yeah.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- But let's see what we can buy. Is that all right?- Yes.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05I'm going to unleash you two, but you're going to be in charge.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- I'm going to empower you. Off you go.- Which way?- I don't know!
0:13:09 > 0:13:13I don't think the Reds know which way to turn.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16But either way, the Blues seem to be following in their footsteps.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- What, the corkscrew?- Yeah.- Yeah...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Yeah.- You brush away the cobwebs and...
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- That's it, take all the dust off it. - That's very pretty, too.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- Sugar tongs!- Yeah.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- That is quite unusual. - No napkin rings, are there? No.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Avoiding the napkin rings! - That's fine, fine. Corkscrew's nice.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Important thing with corkscrews is to make sure that the
0:13:36 > 0:13:39bottom of the worm still has its tip. That one does, OK?
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- Got its original brush, got its suspension loop, so, yeah, it's nice.- Let's have a look.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4834? Yeah, OK, that's not a million miles out. It's nice.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50There's a good market for corkscrews.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52They make very good presents or they just look nice in a cabinet.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Will this matter, if it's got a...?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- No, it's part of its age and character.- Well-used, yeah.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The important thing is that it has got the tip to its worm,
0:14:01 > 0:14:03so that should be... Yeah, it's not too bad, it's quite sharp.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Brush isn't the end of the world if it's missing, but it's nice it's there.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09And the suspension loop is a nice little split ring.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- How old is it? - It's going to be early 1800s.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I mean, it's the standard shape that was made and then
0:14:14 > 0:14:16they went in for more technical ones, which make a lot more money.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- So, it's nice. - Yeah, no, it's nice.- Yeah?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- What's your best price on that? SELLER:- Do that for 25.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- What do you think? - Yeah, that's not bad.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30It's always nice to get a bit lower, you know.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Do you think you could come down on that? 22?- I'll do it for 22.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Yes, yeah. Absolutely. - Are we good with that?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Yeah, yeah! - You like that, don't you?
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Yeah, I really like it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, I like the...
0:14:41 > 0:14:45- I've not seen one with the brush before.- Yeah...
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Thank you very much indeed. Thank you. Good luck with that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Let's raise a glass to the Blues' second item.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Now, the last we heard was that Vicky
0:14:53 > 0:14:56was on the lookout for something small and sparkly.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59That doesn't look much like jewellery to me, Thomas!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So this is spelter, but cold-painted.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03It's in good condition.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Not cracked on the base, and it's on your table.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09After supper, women go out and talk about fluffy clouds
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- and other things and kittens. - Jewellery.- As you do.- As you do.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14And the men...
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- strike this and they light their cigarettes from it.- Oh, wow.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19That's interesting.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- Isn't that fun?- How old do you think that is?- This is 1930s.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- What's the price of this?- 120. - What is your very best on that?
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- Er, 90.- 90.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33There is some damage in the paintwork there.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36There is some damage to the paintwork, which isn't too bad.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- But it's not a piece of jewellery, and I know that.- I know, that's OK!
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So I'm just going to put it back, because it's a good thing.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44It is a good thing and a good price.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- I could perhaps wear it as a necklace, no?- You can't, no.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- Perhaps we'll come back and... - Perhaps, if we are desperate, we can come back.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- Yes. OK.- I like that, I think they are really good things.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- It's not jewellery...- I know. - ..but let's have a look to see what we can find.- OK. Thank you.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- But it's a good thing. Come on. - Thank you very much.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03OK, take two. Have another go, Vicky.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11What have we got here?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14A little sweetheart brooch, you know, that the wives and
0:16:14 > 0:16:17girlfriends, what have you, would be given that brooch to wear.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21At the start of the First World War, they were the Royal Flying Corps, then they became the RAF.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- So you're just...- That's my mother, actually.- Really?- My mother was...
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- Yes, she was.- Oh, right.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28And, funnily enough, she was in the WRAF
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- and I was in the WRAF for a little bit.- Oh, OK!
0:16:31 > 0:16:34So there's quite a nice connection there, but this is really rather...
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Yes, yes, they're beautifully made, those, because the wings are
0:16:37 > 0:16:40really well detailed and they have got enamel in the middle.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Sometimes diamonds are set in them as well. I don't think that one has.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44But, no, it is pretty.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48It seems the Blues are hedging their bets over their final buy.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Right, Vicky, this looks a bit more like it! Spoilt for choice.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- Look at that, that's Limoges enamel. - Oh, yeah!- Isn't that beautiful?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Can we have a look at this? - SELLER: Yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00So you've got a crossover ring with diamonds
0:17:00 > 0:17:03and a central ruby in the middle there.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- You haven't got the money for that. - No!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08And this one here, this one is hallmarked.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Can you see? So this is 18-carat gold.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It's Birmingham, 1903.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And it's what we call gypsy set.
0:17:16 > 0:17:22With those stars. 200 for a pretty ring with diamonds in, well made.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- You've got a number of things to choose from.- I know. No, I have.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27Now we're in trouble.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31But, no, you can carry on looking, or you've got the spelter figure.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34What do you think? Spelter figure, we're at the races...
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I like the spelter figure, too. I do like the spelter figure.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It's your choice. Jewellery goes out the window.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It can do. I like the spelter figure.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- I think we're going to go for the spelter figure.- Are you?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- You don't want to look at any more of the jewellery? No?- No.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54It is a woman's prerogative to change your mind.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58That's it, decision made, Vicky. It's spelter, and definitely no...
0:17:58 > 0:18:02# Diamonds and pearls... #
0:18:02 > 0:18:06No breakthrough yet for the Blues, either. The case is still open.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Luggage is popular.- It sort of harks back to the golden age of travel,
0:18:09 > 0:18:11you take it on the steamboat and...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Yeah, when someone else carries it for you, because these...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17These weigh a tonne before you've got anything in them.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- That's original lining. - How much?- 65.- Right.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Yeah, it's a bit... - SELLER: I could do it for 50.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- 40?- Couldn't get to 40, no.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I could do 48, and that would be my absolute best.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- So now we have lots of things to focus on.- Yes.- RAF badges...
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- They're the ones I like. - The RAF badges?- Yeah. - Yeah, but that's not to say...
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I like the family connection in that one,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44because, as I say, my mother was in it, I was in the RAF,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- and I think, you know, that would be quite interesting.- Yeah, yeah.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48I also, you know, it's like...
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- That one.- ..that thing of me going back and the things I threw away...
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- Yeah, that sort of reminds you of that.- Yes.- Need to it write down.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59So, opera glasses, are we going to sort of discount opera glasses?
0:18:59 > 0:19:00- I think they are...- Yeah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Moved on from there? OK. So, RAF is quite a strong contender.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07We haven't done best price on that one yet, we need to get that down a bit.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- So, we're down to RAF... - Or this.- What do you reckon?
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Well, shall we go and see what the best price is on the RAF wings?
0:19:15 > 0:19:20OK, that would be a good idea. Thank you very much. Thank you. Right...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24They've got a firm plan, but is the going good for the Reds?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- You want to buy this?- Yes.- Yes.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- The only thing that worries me, if I can say...- I wouldn't worry about it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Oh, it's so much fun.- It is fun, it's a good jockey, good colours.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39I was worried about you and the jewellery, because jewellery can...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- You can come very unstuck.- Yes.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- But I don't think you'll come unstuck with this.- No.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- So, £90 was the price, wasn't it?- Yeah.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- Thank you.- Third and final item. - Thank you very much.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53- Thank you for helping us finish. - That's it, we're done.- We're done!
0:19:53 > 0:19:58- Tea time now!- Tea time.- Ah, you know, I don't drink tea. Coffee.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59Come on.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Well done, Reds, your third and final item. And with time to spare.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09- Claire, what's the news from the stallholder?- £60 is his best price.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Which isn't too bad.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Most of the value will be in the gold one.- Mm.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21I'd have put them at about, maybe, 50-70, if I put them in auction.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23But you might, might...
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Because it is nice and there is a good market for it.- 60?- 60.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Or the luggage?- 60 or the luggage? - Yeah.- 48.- Mm.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- What do you...? - I'm leaning towards these,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38just because I like these more than the luggage.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I don't know, I think it's nice. - Yeah, yeah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42I mean, there probably is mileage in that.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- It's just like all these things, on the day.- What are you angling towards?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- They are very collectable.- Well, it's me... You know, it's like...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I'm way out of my comfort zone here with £60.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- I mean, I've done the 80...- Yes, yeah, yeah.- Now I'm doing 60! Oh!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02So I'm kind of hovering that way, but I like...
0:21:02 > 0:21:05It's a good thing. It's not out of the way.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- I think we've still got a bit of mileage in it.- Let's do it. - Yes, let's do it.- Sure?- Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11OK, that's excellent.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'll go and tell him the good news and get the money sorted. Well done.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- That's it.- That's it!- Wow. - Three done, in the bag.- Fabulous.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Right, that's it. We're past the finishing posts, the race is over.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33There were no flies on Geoff when he spotted the Blues' first item.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36They spent £15 on the Perspex table lighter.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42They paid a sweet £10 on the Festival of Britain tin.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47And deliberated on their third item, but not for long!
0:21:47 > 0:21:50They spent £90 on the racehorse lighter.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Now, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:52 > 0:21:55We bought a little jockey, a man on a stand,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and I thought that was terrific.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- I really thought that was good. - That's your favourite?- Yes.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02What about you, Geoffrey? What's your favourite?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I like the Festival of Britain tin. I thought that conjures up an era.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Is that going to bring the biggest profit, Geoffrey?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- I think the horse, the jockey will bring the biggest profit.- I think so.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- And you spent how much? - 115.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- 115?- Yes.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- So I'd like 185 of leftover lolly. - Doesn't happen very often, this.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- Do I have to?- Yes, you do! 115 isn't a huge total, is it?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27I knew you'd tell us off.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Thomas Plant is one of the last big spenders
0:22:30 > 0:22:34when it comes to blowing the lot on the leftover lolly!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Believe you me, I've got something in mind
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- and I'm going to blow it all. - Good luck, Tom. Good luck, team.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44Meanwhile, we'll check out what the Blue team bought.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47The Blues looked like seasoned pros,
0:22:47 > 0:22:49paying £80 for the spice tower.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54They popped their corks over the £22 corkscrew.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59And swooped in for the gold and
0:22:59 > 0:23:02silver RAF broaches, spending £60.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08- Adam and Ange... How did you get on, all right?- I loved it.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- You seemed to be having fun. - I LOVED it.- How much did you spend?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14£162.
0:23:14 > 0:23:20162? I'd like £138 of leftover lolly, the boy has got that.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- There we go.- Very nice. Thank you very much, Adam - that's great.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28- So which is your favourite piece, Ange?- The wooden spice tower.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32- Would you go with the spice tower? - No, the corkscrew.- The corkscrew.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- What's going to bring the biggest profit?- The Bonus Buy.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36LAUGHTER
0:23:36 > 0:23:39And THAT may be the right answer!
0:23:39 > 0:23:42But the big challenge is for you, Rawley.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44What are you going to do with all that cash?
0:23:44 > 0:23:48Spend it, or as much as I can. I've got a few ideas.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Good luck with that. - Thank you very much.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Meanwhile, we'll trot off to have a look at something that
0:23:52 > 0:23:54I found a little earlier.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03What do you do if you've got a birthday or special occasion
0:24:03 > 0:24:04coming up?
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You want to come to one of these fairs and you've only
0:24:07 > 0:24:09got £20 in your pocket.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Well, you could do a lot worse
0:24:12 > 0:24:15than going to buy a bit of shed work.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Well, I call it shed work
0:24:17 > 0:24:18because once upon a time,
0:24:18 > 0:24:22a man in a shed with a fret saw made this box.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24He wasn't a cabinet-maker,
0:24:24 > 0:24:27he wasn't professional in any sense of the word, but probably
0:24:27 > 0:24:33in about 1910 or 1920, he had two pieces of contrasting coloured wood.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36You have a pattern and with your fret saw, you cut through both of
0:24:36 > 0:24:40the sheets and hey presto, you've made yourself a bit of inlay.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42If I open it up,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46you can see it's got a lovely red silk lined interior,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49but the lid is rather poorly perished,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52so you can pull that off like that
0:24:52 > 0:24:58and reveal on the underside how that fretwork has come together.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00But what's inside the box?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04A group of medals and tokens that don't relate to the box
0:25:04 > 0:25:08but they are, for £20, very interesting.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11This one, for example, is called the Bell Medal.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17It's cast with an obelisk and some chaps firing muskets.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22That's a medal awarded for marksmanship between the First
0:25:22 > 0:25:23and Second World Wars.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25For me, the most interesting
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and potentially valuable medal
0:25:28 > 0:25:30is this one - if you look
0:25:30 > 0:25:33at the scene itself, it shows two footballers
0:25:33 > 0:25:36going to strike a ball.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40The background of the medal is cast with the dimpled, sewn
0:25:40 > 0:25:43surface of a real football.
0:25:43 > 0:25:48If I turn it round, you can see on the back it's entirely plain.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51It hasn't been inscribed with a match or a date,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55which adds to the sense of mystery with this medal.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56With a bit of research,
0:25:56 > 0:26:01you might be able to determine what this football medal relates to.
0:26:01 > 0:26:07Of course, football is an incredibly popular arena for collectors.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10But there you go, you've got the top end of eight pieces
0:26:10 > 0:26:16there for under £20 - an ideal collection for a youngster
0:26:16 > 0:26:19interested in coins and medals for not a lot of money.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22That's what I call positively first-class.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Well, well - all the way from Epsom to Wisborough Green to be at
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Bellman's saleroom with the great JP. How are you, Jonathan? - Oh, sterling!
0:26:45 > 0:26:49First up for Geoff and Vicky is the Perspex lighter.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It's copying the Dunhill lighter style. I kind of like it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54We are in the country, fishing.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Less people smoke and it has that connotation, obviously.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Bit awkward to light the fire with. - Yes.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04The thing is that the Dunhill aquarium plastic thing is
0:27:04 > 0:27:06worth a couple of thousand pounds now.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- Yes, there's some very rare ones. - Very rare table lighters.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12This thing is not one of those, is it?
0:27:12 > 0:27:13No, but it is fun
0:27:13 > 0:27:17and there's lots of people round here, lots of good fishing around.
0:27:17 > 0:27:22- It's not a lot of money. - How much money?- £15-£20.- £15 paid.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Now, I'm really nervous about this Festival of Britain tin.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It's a period which is very fashionable.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31They refer to it as mid-century chic, the bunting and cups of tea.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34But you want something with Ravilious on it,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37something high style from that moment.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Ebonised black finish with traditional strawberry flowers...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- It's far too traditional. - Not a lot of style to it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48No, it needs to be far more outlandish and '50s.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Needs something about it. Black and flowers sadly is not going to sell it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54What's your best estimate on this old tin?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I didn't think they'd have paid much for it
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- and I thought sensibly I ought to put £3-£5 on it.- Not enough!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02They've paid £10 for it.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06This is more believable because it's come from Epsom
0:28:06 > 0:28:09and it is a geegee and you could light your cigarette from it,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11but the problem is, it's made of spelter.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yes, absolutely.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16It's a nice style and it has a bit of age, I think
0:28:16 > 0:28:18probably the middle part of the century again.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22People like horses around here and racing. Perfectly decent thing.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- It's a nice ornament.- Just boils down to the price -
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- how much?- I thought, sensibly, £40-£60.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29That is a sensible estimate - they paid £90.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33But we know full well that a sensible estimate can create
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- interest.- Exactly. That's what you're a past master at doing.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Let's hope that you're successful, or they'll need
0:28:39 > 0:28:42the Bonus Buy, in which case we'll go and have a look at it!
0:28:42 > 0:28:44OK, Geoff...
0:28:45 > 0:28:48You've spent £115, you've gave Thomas Plant £185,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Thomas - what did you spend it on?
0:28:50 > 0:28:54I tried to blow it all, but I didn't quite.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- I bought these fabulous things. You can say, "Oh, wow." - They're fantastic.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01They are silver, they are enamel,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- but you're going to ask, "What are they for?"- What are they for?
0:29:04 > 0:29:09When one is having a cocktail party, long, tall glasses etc,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12you want to know what your glass is, so you take one of these
0:29:12 > 0:29:15and clip it to your glass so you know it's your glass.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18That's absolutely fantastic. I'll just take one.
0:29:18 > 0:29:23Have a look, Vicky, go on. I paid the grand sum of £100.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27I thought they were rather nice. Silver and enamel is so popular.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- What do you think it's worth?- £140.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I think there is between 20 and £40 profit there.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I think they're lovely.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- I think someone who likes that will pay a premium.- Silver and enamel.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Perfect, boxed, done.- Lovely.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Thank you very much, Tom.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43You don't pick them now, you pick them later
0:29:43 > 0:29:46if you need to after the sale of your first three items.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Right now, for the audience at home,
0:29:48 > 0:29:52let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Tom's little clips.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58OK, JP - a test for you. What do you make of those?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00So-called glass markers.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05Well, they are hallmarked sterling silver, they're from the '30s.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07They're rather pretty. They're decorated in enamels.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09They're English flowers.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11They're display cabinet things.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16If you're a botanist, it is a little collectable. Could be useful.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Have you ever seen a cased set of silver gilt
0:30:19 > 0:30:25- and enamelled glass markers before, ever?- No.- They've got to be rare.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- Absolutely.- Your estimate, please?- £70-£90.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31OK, £100 paid by the Planter and for all we know,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- he could be absolutely correct. - I hope so.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38So do I. That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Adam and Angie.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40They kick on with this spice tower.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- This is not what it appears to be, is it?- I'm afraid not.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46You don't see them that often and when they're nice,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49they're done in boxwood and whatnot and are late or mid-19th century.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Very, very smart and quite rare in that respect.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56But what got me was the evenness of the colour of the labels,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58so I looked a bit closer and you think,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- hang on, they look like they're stained with tea.- Yes.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04Look a bit closer, then you think they've probably been produced on a printer at home.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06You can just see where they've been cut out.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08The real giveaway is that colour underneath -
0:31:08 > 0:31:10that's an Indian hardwood.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14With hindsight, it's not old, therefore it ain't worth much.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17No, I might have been mean, but £15-£25.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Maybe £20-£30, but not £80.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Now, moving on to the corkscrew...
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- You sell a lot of wine in this place, don't you?- Yes.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Therefore you have wine collectors.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Are these accoutrements interesting to wine collectors?
0:31:30 > 0:31:33That's the people who are going to buy it, absolutely. It is nice.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36It has a nice spiralled worm. Nicely defined.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Everything about it seems fine for the 19th century,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- but not particularly exciting. - How much?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- £30-£50.- Very nice - £22 paid.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50They paid the right price for that and it is a period object.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53Now, the nostalgic interest in anything connected with
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Britain's military history is powerful still, isn't it?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Absolutely.- People like military broaches, do they?
0:31:59 > 0:32:03They're very interested in medals and all sorts of things like that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06He's got a gold one, silver one, both decorated with enamels.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Going to have some sort of collectability,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- but not terribly exciting. - How excited can you get?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13I got excited enough to say £30-£40.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17About half as excited as you need to be. £60 paid.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- Is this listed on the Internet? - Absolutely.- That's fine.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Anyway, overall, I think the spice tower has done it for them
0:32:25 > 0:32:29and they'll need their Bonus Buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35You spent 162, you gave the Rawle 138 - Claire,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38what did you spend £138 on?
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Well, not quite as much as that, but this is what I bought you.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- Interesting.- So...- What is it? - It's a box.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Yes, it is a box!
0:32:47 > 0:32:50It's actually a late Victorian stamp box.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53It's embossed leather over wood...
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Will they know what it is, though?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Yes.- Have you put some stamps in there to show them what it is?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00- You don't have to. - A few Penny Blacks!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Tuppenny Blue would be better!
0:33:03 > 0:33:05There are good collectors out there
0:33:05 > 0:33:07for stamp boxes and anything postage related.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09I just thought it was an unusual one.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11So, how much did you pay for it?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I spent £40 on it, so I didn't blow a huge amount.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19- I think it ought to make 50, £60... - Nice prediction, there.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I think it's lovely, actually.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I think you've excited the right reaction
0:33:25 > 0:33:27and on that happy note, why don't we find out what the auctioneer
0:33:27 > 0:33:29thinks about Claire's little box?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Well, this is a first-class effort, look. It being a stamp box.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37It's nice and decorative. There are people who collect stamps
0:33:37 > 0:33:40and maybe they want to put their collection in a little box!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42The exterior makes it look rather old, actually,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46but I don't think it is... That is rather clean inside.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- It doesn't look like it's ever been used, frankly.- No.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I think it's perfectly all right, don't you?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54It just wants a little bit of furniture polish on that
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- leather to jolly it up a bit. How much?- £20-£30.- £40 paid.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02Claire really rates it. I think she might just get there.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Thank you very much, JP.
0:34:05 > 0:34:081,400. 1,450.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- Happy, Geoff?- Absolutely. - We're on the edge.- Yes.- Nervy?
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- Yes, I am!- Could be.
0:34:14 > 0:34:20Now, your Perspex table lighter with all those flies in it, £15 paid.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23£15-£20 is his estimate, so you should be safe on that.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28The sweet tin nobody found particularly sweet, I have to say.
0:34:28 > 0:34:29£10 you paid for that,
0:34:29 > 0:34:34he's put the lowest possible amount he can put on, which is £3-£5.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37He thinks you'll be jolly lucky if you get £3-£5.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42- Got to carry the can for that.- The racehorse lighter is the jammy one.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47- £90 you paid, 40 to 60 is his estimate.- Ooh.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Otherwise, you've got the glass markers to fall back on.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53First up is the table lighter and here it comes.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56A 1960s Perspex table lighter and
0:34:56 > 0:34:58the body encloses six fishing flies.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01I can start with me, I've got £10 to bid.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Looking for 15, now. 15, 20.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10£20 against you, commission bid at 20, where's five? 25 back in...
0:35:10 > 0:35:1430 anywhere? Lady's bid on the left at £25. Internet, are you out?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18No further bidding at £25, lady's bid, 25.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Plus £10, congratulations you two.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23How good is that? Cool.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Now, here's the Festival of Britain tin - are we going to eat our words here?
0:35:27 > 0:35:30And I can start at £10.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31THEY CHEER
0:35:31 > 0:35:35£10 bid. I'll take 15 if you like. With me at £10.
0:35:35 > 0:35:4115 anywhere? £10 commission bid. 12 if you want to come in another one.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Surely at £12? I've got £10 on the book. Any more at £10?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48At £10, I'm selling to the book at 10.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Anyway, wiped its face.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52That's perfectly good. Hurray!
0:35:52 > 0:35:55It's a cold-painted spelter table lighter modelled as a bay
0:35:55 > 0:35:59racehorse with a jockey. Start me at £60 for this. £60, the racehorse.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0240 front now. Where's 45? 45...
0:36:02 > 0:36:07- 50.- Worth more than that. - 55, 60. 65, 70.
0:36:07 > 0:36:1075 seated left...
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Uh-oh. Oh, come on!- Please, please.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16At £75, are we all out at £75?
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Selling...- Oh!- £75.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22£75, bad luck - that's -15.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26You had plus £10, you're now minus £5.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- The roller coaster of Bargain Hunt! - We were so close!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31What are you going to do?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Because minus £5 could be a winning score,
0:36:34 > 0:36:38or do you risk £100 on the Bonus Buy, which is Thomas's pick?
0:36:38 > 0:36:43- You don't have to go with it. - I think we're going to go for it.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47- I think we should.- It's lovely. We're going to go for it.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50We're going with the Bonus Buy and here it comes.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Set of six George V silver and enamel glass markers, Birmingham
0:36:53 > 0:36:551930, modelled as flowers, rather pretty
0:36:55 > 0:36:57and fitted in a case there.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02Start me... Start me at £50 for these. Sterling silver, £50.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Surely worth 50... 50 on the net, thank you. Looking for five now.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Internet bid at £50. Surely worth five in the room.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Internet is getting it at 50. 55, thank you. Against you, Internet.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18- Come on, they're worth more. - 60 by the mirror. £60.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Internet, you've stopped now. £60 on the right, any more at 60?
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Last chance everybody else, £60 with you, sir, and selling...- Oh, no!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28At £60.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32£60 is minus £40, which means overall you're minus £45. Well...
0:37:32 > 0:37:35You followed your instincts.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38We wanted them. We wanted to take them for ourselves.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- You wanted to take them home. - There we go.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46Anyway, don't say a word to the Blues, because minus £45 could be
0:37:46 > 0:37:50a winning score. If things go really go badly for them, it might be!
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Bid dead ahead at 60. Thank you, at 60. Where's the five, now?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Lady's bid, looking for five...
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Now, Angie - you're a bit of atremble here - are you excited?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- I am. I am, really! - Yeah, she is trembling!
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Your first item is the treen spice tower.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Jonathan Pratt has looked at this very carefully
0:38:13 > 0:38:16because he's really worried about it. He says it's not old.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19He's catalogues it as late 20th century.
0:38:19 > 0:38:24He thinks it's come in from India or a foreign place. It's a copy.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26His estimate is £15-£25.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The treen corkscrew however, he's put £30-£50 on, it's
0:38:29 > 0:38:32perfectly nice, genuine thing with its little badger brush and whatnot.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36£22 paid, so that should show you a decent profit.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Then the sweetheart broaches he likes enough to
0:38:40 > 0:38:42put £30-£40 on and you paid 60.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45They're not particularly encouraging estimates, I have to say,
0:38:45 > 0:38:47but that doesn't mean everything.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50At the end of the day, you've got the little stamp-box to fall back on.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53First up is the spice tower and here it comes.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Here we have the nice treen spice tower.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Commission bid I can start at 20, £25.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0230 clears commission now at 30.
0:39:02 > 0:39:0835, standing. 40. 45. 50 anywhere else? 50 waving at the back.
0:39:08 > 0:39:1050 anywhere else? 50 at the back.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Surely worth another five? It's £50 far left.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Fair warning at £50...
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Well done that man! £50 is minus 30.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20He didn't announce it as being reproduction,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24he didn't announce it as late, he did it as nicely as possible.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Anyway, next up is the treen corkscrew.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Early 19th-century treen corkscrew. A nice little example, that.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34Surely worth £30 to start me. 30. 30. Could be useful.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- There we are, that did it! - Oh, well done, you got 30!
0:39:39 > 0:39:43I've got 30 at the front. Any further bidding at £30?
0:39:43 > 0:39:47At 30 I'll sell, then. The maiden bid, the lady's bid at £30.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Last chance...
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Plus £8. That is a profit of £8, well done.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55That means you're only minus 22.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58A gold and enamel RAF sweetheart brooch.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01That one is nine carat and you have a nice little silver
0:40:01 > 0:40:04and enamel one as well. Start me off at £30 for the two.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Nice bit of wartime history there at £30.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Internet bid straight in at 30 now. At 30 I'm bid. Looking for 35.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1230 internet. Surely worth five in the room.
0:40:12 > 0:40:1535, thank you. Anyone else now?
0:40:15 > 0:40:2140 on the Internet. Five anywhere else? Internet bid getting it at 40.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Last chance in the room £40...
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Selling at 40, all done...
0:40:26 > 0:40:32Oh, dear, £40 is minus £20. Minus £20 and £22 is minus £42.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- That's not so hot, that, is it?- Not really.- It could be a winning score.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41What are you going to do? Risk it and go for the stamp box or stick?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44- What's it going to be? - We're going for it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- That's the decision, you're going with the Bonus Buy?- Yes.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49- That's a defo.- Defo.- Right.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Now you've made that decision, I can tell you what the auctioneer's
0:40:53 > 0:40:55estimate is, which isn't so brilliant, £20-£30!
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Let's hope he's well and truly wrong,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01because coming up right now is the stamp box.
0:41:01 > 0:41:02Nice example there.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Start me at £20 for the box.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07£20 for the box. Surely worth £20?
0:41:07 > 0:41:12- Where is £20?- Where is £20? - It's got to go at £10. Do I see £10?
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Someone in the room put their hand up for £10. Back of the room, £10.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20It's £10, maiden bid at £10. 12, surely? At £10, I'll sell at £10.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25Are you all done? It's going. Last chance. All done. £10.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30£10 is minus £30 which means overall you're minus £72.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32- Oh, no!- I liked it.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- I- liked it. I don't like it now! I've gone off that!
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- What have we got?- Minus 72.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42That could be a winning score, so say not a word to the Reds,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45all right? All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Thanks so much, good sports.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49It's £150, 160 Internet.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Clears it now.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59Well, I can reveal it's been an appalling day today!
0:41:59 > 0:42:04Nobody's going home with any cash, it all looks very minus minus to me!
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Just a question of the scale of the losses.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08The team that are marginally behind
0:42:08 > 0:42:11in the loss stakes are the Blues.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Minus £72.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18I mean, it started out pretty well, didn't it?
0:42:18 > 0:42:21You got £8 from a corkscrew and that's the top
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- and bottom of the profits today! But not to worry.- No!
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- You're not fussed, are you, Angie? Adam?- No. Not at all.
0:42:28 > 0:42:33- It's just the taking part that matters!- Unless you win!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35It's been great having you on the show.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38The victors today, you've won by only losing £45, the Reds!
0:42:38 > 0:42:41You started out with a £10 profit,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45then it went completely down the old proverbial from there on in. Yes?
0:42:45 > 0:42:49- Yes.- Had a nice time?- Great time. - Fabulous.- Been good for you?
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- Yes, great crowd, great crew. - Great crowd, great crew!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55It's been such fun. Join us soon for some more bargain-hunting, yes?
0:42:55 > 0:42:57ALL: Yes!
