0:00:09 > 0:00:13We're in the beautiful county town of Lewes, today,
0:00:13 > 0:00:18where there are no less than four antique centres for our teams
0:00:18 > 0:00:19to have a go at.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23So, let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Lewes is famed for its gorgeous
0:00:56 > 0:01:00flint-knapped buildings and twittens.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Twittens, by the way, are a Sussex name for alleyways.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09And we've got no twittens on this show. Oh, no.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Stay tuned to find out what's coming up.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's all fun and games for the Reds.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Yay! Brilliant.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24- And the Blues make a discovery. - I reckon that's a yeti's snow boot.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26THOMAS LAUGHS
0:01:26 > 0:01:30- What, a one legged...- A one-legged yeti.- He'd be hopping around.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Well, it's all about dads and their little girls today.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40For the Reds, we've got father and daughter, Roger and Mel.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44And for the Blues, we have father and daughter, Marcus and Holly.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone.- Hello. - Very nice to see you.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Roger, it says here you're an obsessive hoarder. Is that true?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Oh, absolutely.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Records, of course, is my main collection where I've got...
0:01:54 > 0:01:55HE EXHALES
0:01:55 > 0:01:58..of albums and boxes...
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- What does "pfff" mean in numbers? - About 2,500 LPs.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06And, I don't know, the same number of CDs and boxes and boxes of singles.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11I can smell vinyl from not far off. I get dragged away, don't I?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- Yes.- You have a passion for photography.- Oh, indeed.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18That's what I do for a living now. It's my second career.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23I'm thoroughly enjoying that. It takes me out and about.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25- I get to meet lots of people. - What sort of photography do you do?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Events, weddings, family dos,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- corporate events, all sorts of things like that.- Good. Mel,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34you've got a photographer's eye, too, I believe?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yes. I've got a degree in photography.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I studied at Manchester Metropolitan but I first started at college
0:02:41 > 0:02:45and Dad taught me everything I needed to know to get going.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48We've set up dark rooms in the bathroom together
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and taken photos any time we can.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54What sort of subjects do you like?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56I like landscapes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58But there's no end to your creative skills, is there?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- I make my own jewellery, as well. - Is that a piece of yours?- It is.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- How lovely.- I made that.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08What experience have you got with this antique-buying business?
0:03:08 > 0:03:09Well, we both go rummaging, don't we,
0:03:09 > 0:03:14round antique shops and in antiques fairs and so on?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17What sort of thing will you be going for today, Mel?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I like anything decorative but also practical, so something pretty.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27I like silver, obviously jewellery, so anything that sparkles.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- This is a tall order. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:28 > 0:03:31You're going to spend all your cash, I have a funny feeling.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- Let's hope so.- Good luck when you get to it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38- Marcus, you're in the police force. - I am, Tim.- What exactly do you do?
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- I've been a police officer now for...coming on 20 years.- No?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- You joined as a lad?- Not quite. - Cadet?- Thank you for saying so.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48No, no, come on.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I was young but not that young.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I do do the Cadets as well, the Police Cadets. I train them.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58They are from 13 up to 18. My role's slightly changed now.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04I'm a bobby on the beat. I tend to deal with more people's problems.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08I will go and try to sort out neighbourhood disputes.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I have the time now to talk to people. I can go to local
0:04:11 > 0:04:14communities. I have lots of meetings within the community.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19- And when you're not policing, what do you like to do?- Many hobbies.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21But my real passion, I suppose, is my motorbike.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'd like to say I wasn't obsessive with my bike, but I am.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28She gets polished. I say she.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30TIM LAUGHS
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Do you go pet her?- Oh, yes. I use it everyday.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Unfortunately, my daughter doesn't share my passion for bikes.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- Too scary.- Too scary. What, Dad goes too fast?- Yeah.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I was round the corner and I was like, "I can't do this any more."
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Holly, like your dad, you work in the community?- I do.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- Tell us about that. - I'm a carer at the moment
0:04:52 > 0:04:54but I'm training to be a nurse at the same time.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- Oh, are you? - But I love my job so much.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59All my little elderly ladies and gentlemen.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- Yes.- I just do their personal care and chat with them.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Just all that kind of work.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08But you'd like, at the end of the day, to be a nurse?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- I want to work in A&E.- Do you?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Follow your father's footsteps down the 999 route?
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Yeah, it would be exciting.- Yes, exactly. Exactly.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20What other hobbies can you possibly enjoy in your busy life?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I just love to bake.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26If I've got spare time, I just bake a cake.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28What sort of cakes do you like to bake?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32I make these lollipop cakes and they're literally like a ball of
0:05:32 > 0:05:35cake and you put it on a stick, and you just ice it like a lollipop.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And then you lick it? No, bite it.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42You can just eat it like a little canape, or something.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I don't think I've ever had a lollipop cake.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Anyway, now the money moment.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You get £300 apiece, as per normal. There you go, Mel. Holly.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51£300. You know the rules.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56Your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I like the sound of a lollipop cake.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Let's meet the experts working with our teams today.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07In the spotlight for the Reds it's Catherine Southon.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13And hoping to keep the Blues out of trouble is Thomas Plant.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17MUSIC: "Daddy Cool" by Boney M
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- Do we know what we're going to buy? - No.- We have a few things in mind.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Have you?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Who's the buyer? - I like to shop.- You like to shop?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Definitely her. - And who's the dealer?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I like to do a bit of dealing and a bit of bargaining.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38We just need to look for things that are...I don't like to use
0:06:38 > 0:06:43the word "quirky", but things that are not standard, shall we say?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- Let's go and get some quirk, shall we?- All right, then. Where do we go?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I've got really nothing to do today, have I?- No.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- You can get the coffees. - Get the coffee while you choose.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- That sounds like a plan. - Right, let's go.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02And they're off, and Roger seems keen to stretch his legs.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Let's just walk to the back of the shop and back again, shall we?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Captain Franklin. RE - Royal Engineers.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- OK.- Oak case.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Oh, my God.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Out of our price range?- £440.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- Way out of our range.- Way out of our range.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Too rich for this show, Thomas.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Well, Roger's starting to get to grips with the job at hand.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32I don't like chintzy stuff.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35You know what that is. That's a bit like Aunt Flo's monstrosities.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38I tell you what that is...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- ..Horrible. - THEY LAUGH
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Now that is a big lump.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- You're right there.- What do you think this is? What's this?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48I don't think so, Roger.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52These are dumbbells. They're cold.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- They're dead cold.- They're freezing.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08What have you found?
0:08:10 > 0:08:15- And...- Cribbage boards are... We see them constantly - all the time.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19What is nice about that one is the section that comes out.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- That is quite unusual.- This is different.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- I've not seen one like that before. - Would it make us much money?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I think, honestly, if you put that into auction, it would make
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- exactly what you've got on it, about 25, 20 to 25.- All right.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34But you might be able to get that for...
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- ..20, 15, 20.- Who knows?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Do you want to try on it?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42We haven't been going long so why don't we just leave it
0:08:42 > 0:08:45there for the moment, and then if we need something, we know it's there.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Managed to find anything in your price range yet, team?
0:08:52 > 0:08:57- These are cool. 380. 280.- A bit outside our budget.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- 65.- A bit much.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04So, no luck there then, Blues. And it's time to move.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06MUSIC: "Money" by The Flying Lizards
0:09:08 > 0:09:12- It looks like Mel's focusing on something.- Oh, I love that.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- The handle is gorgeous. Look at that.- Oh, yes.- Magnifying glass.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Can we have a look at that? - What do you reckon that is?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21How old do you think that is? 1930s?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Arts and Crafts, so it's going to be turn-of-the-century.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- You reckon it's as old as that?- And the whole ethos behind Arts
0:09:26 > 0:09:30and Crafts was making something useful but also
0:09:30 > 0:09:35making it beautiful, and that is very aesthetic and it's very useful.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39A nice magnifying glass there. It just has a fantastic look about it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43It's silver-plated. The way these have been twisted around.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45It's a super piece of design.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- 85.- Mm.- Mm.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- I don't know.- What could it be?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It would probably get to 70.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57I would say that's probably still a little bit too much.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02- We've got to get a profit, haven't we?- We have. That's the idea.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Could we go down to 60?
0:10:06 > 0:10:07OK, we'll do 60.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- A nice shape.- I like it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- Can you tweak another fiver off? - Yeah, OK. Just a fiver.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Are you happy with that? - Yeah, let's go for it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- We'll go for that one.- First purchase. Well done. Well found.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24An elementary purchase there for the Reds.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26MUSIC: "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Now, what's Thomas found?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- This is a swagger stick or a crop. - A swagger stick.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Is that when you have to sort of... - No, like this.- OK.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38In the army or colonial services.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think it's more of a crop, really, for riding
0:10:41 > 0:10:45but it's certainly colonial-made. Somewhere hot.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50The Tropics, because this here is vegetable ivory.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Vegetable?- A nut.- OK.- A nut.- Yes.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's been carved to take something in there.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57It's rather handsome, isn't it?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59What would they have put in there, do you think?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02You could be walking round your estate,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04your plantation and you wanted to collect some seeds.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Instead of putting them in a pocket, you'd probably put them in here,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10screw it up and it's dead tight in there and they're fine.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- It's quite unusual.- It is unusual, isn't it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:17I'd say it's 1920s and its £17.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- That's quite reasonable.- I like that. - You like it?- Yeah, it's cool.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23You like the fact it's got a little nut carved...
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- Yeah, it's weird.- And it's not very much money. Should we go for that?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Yeah. I like it.- Sounds like a plan? - Does sound like a plan.- It's cheap.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Shall we see what we can get off it? - Absolutely.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Go on, Marcus. Strut your stuff. Get haggling.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- It's £17.- We can do 14.- 14.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Is that the best you can do? - It's the best.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I was thinking more sort of 12.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- They're not ours so we are only guardians for them.- I'm with you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51- Maybe we can meet in the middle. - 13.- 13.- OK.- Well done, Blues.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53And as they saunter off with a new cane,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57- it looks like Melanie's rising to the challenge.- What can you see?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I think it's a phoenix or something. - Oh, wow.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Now that would look lovely on your...
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- ..Look at that. Against the red. - It's superb.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Obviously, we've got no precious gems or metal going on here.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15It's purely, I would say, probably glass.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17So it's a bit...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20tinfoily on the back, isn't it?
0:12:20 > 0:12:24- Shall we think about it?- Let's see what else we see today.- All right.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26It's not...
0:12:26 > 0:12:29..You can have that later if we haven't seen anything else, anything better.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38What do you think of those two beakers? We call that niello work.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- They are expensive.- I can't see.- They're 180 quid.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Look at that. Really fine work on there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- What do you think?- Yeah, they're cool.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I see they have some hallmarks on them.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Those would be the Russian, the Russian strike marks.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59They've got 875 on there, so Russian standard silver.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02A bit below our standard of 925.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Silver-gilt which is mercury-gilded silver.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10And then engraved with an enamel design on here.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Originally produced in Roman times, niello reached the heights of its
0:13:14 > 0:13:17popularity during the Renaissance period.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Russian goldsmiths, working in the town of Tula,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23revived the craft in the 18th century.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- They've got real quality, haven't they?- Yeah.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Would you see these being used or more an ornament?- Collector.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Collectors, absolutely.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Although I think their price is quite high.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- It can be 120.- Do you think we should go for that?- I think so.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- And you like them?- Yeah. I do like them.- I think that's a really good
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- discount and I think they've got a chance.- A large tequila.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50That's another item down the hatch for the Blues. This pair are going
0:13:50 > 0:13:53far, but I don't think the Reds have moved yet.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Roger, where are we going? Where are we going next?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I don't know. Where do you want...
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- You don't want to go down...- I don't mind. We'll go wherever...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03..Let's have a quick look down there. Let's go have a quick look.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05That is quite nice. That's a little agate inkwell.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Isn't that lovely?- It's very pretty, isn't it?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I think that's quite pretty. People do collect inkwells.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I think that's quite a nice example.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14That round the top as well is nice.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's absolutely pure and perfect.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- It's quite heavy.- Well, it would be. It's just a lump of stone, isn't it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25That would sit quite nicely on your desk, wouldn't it?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- You haven't seen my desk.- A complete contrast to the fashion jewellery.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- But this is practical as well. It's what I quite like.- You say that.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36I don't think it's practical now, so you don't really...
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It may well have been part of a set.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42You might have had the red and the black ink
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and perhaps it was on a desk once upon a time.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Shall we see how much we can get it for?- Go and ask.- Do your stuff.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Go on, then.- Would you be willing to go down to 30?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- 33 quid. We'll do 33. - 33?
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- 33.- I reckon 33.- You think it's OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- OK, do it.- Well done, Reds. That's your second item.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03MUSIC: "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" by The Temptations
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Right, the Blues are on the move
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- and it looks like Roger's following his nose.- I can smell vinyl, here.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- Look at this.- Don't need any more records.- Shall we leave him to it?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Don't be too long.- Hey, hang on. You know what you got here.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19We've got Babbacombe Lee. You know the story of Babbacombe Lee?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It's quite good. I wonder...
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- Come on. Come on, dear. - MEL LAUGHS
0:15:26 > 0:15:28With tension mounting and the clock ticking,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32it appears the teams are heading for a dramatic finale...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34..in the same shop.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Looks like Thomas has found another trunk.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Oak, copper chest.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Very useful in today's world because it has a flat top.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Look at the hammered rivets here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Actually quite a good size
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- for modern houses, because it's narrow.- Modern hinges...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- ..I think all these fittings are modern.- They're all quite modern.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12It is quite modern. I think old bits of wood which have been...
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- ..put together.- To make a box.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- Oh, God!- God.- He always picks up heavy things.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22If you want heavy, try that.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24I'm not even going to attempt to lift it. What is it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- It's a bit of sculpture.- What's it made from?- Stone of some sort.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- Good grief.- It is enormously heavy.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- It is, isn't it? Why do you like that?- I don't know.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38It just sort of goes whoomph at you.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- "Whoomph"?- Wow!- Whoomph. Yes. It does go whoomph, doesn't it?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46I'm not sure it whoomphs in the right direction.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- This thing here.- Yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54A plum dryer. £48. For drying one's plums.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Come on, you.- That's me. You want me to come past, do you?
0:17:01 > 0:17:04I reckon that's a yeti's snow boot.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05THOMAS LAUGHS
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- What, a one-legged...- a one-legged yeti, yes.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09He'd be hopping around.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- What's that?- Money box, is it? - I don't know.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- American money box.- Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19I like the fact that it's got a home-made appeal to it, hasn't it?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- A bit of woodworm.- A bit of woodworm.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22It could be used for display
0:17:22 > 0:17:26but it could also still be used for drying one's fruit.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I think that's quite fun. That's quite well spotted.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Shall I go and ask for key 17? - Can you do that?- Stay here.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- Keep looking. I'll go have a look. - You do that. OK.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38£48. It's quite a lot of money
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- but it is a bit of fun. - It's different.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43It's your turn. There you are.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Go and do some haggling and I'm sure you've got your father's genes.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I'm going to try my hardest. - Go on.- Go for it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Well, there's no time to waste, Holly.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55A nice piece.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Oh, it's heavy. How does it work? Is it clockwork?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Place coin in the pitcher's hand. - So then what we do?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05I don't know. I cant see...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- ..Oh, I see. It goes like that.- Is there a button to press?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10- ALL:- Yay!
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- Brilliant. Fantastic.- So it works.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17The thing is, this will be online, it's baseball.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21American collectors, maybe. How much is on it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- 56.- What could it be?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I can make a telephone call and let you know what it can be.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29You go.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31It's all pressure on the dealer
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- because the Blues are approaching her, too.- Found this plum dryer.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40Do you think there's any possible way we could have it down to 28?
0:18:40 > 0:18:44You want to make me an offer. 48. I can make a telephone call for you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Yeah?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And the dealer's having to be quick with all these phone calls.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Two and a half minutes left. Let's use those minutes wisely
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- in case we don't get a discount. Oh, hello.- Hello.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00I've made a phone call. Unfortunately there's no answer, so
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- I'm allowed to...let's go for £48. - Oh.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- But I probably could go to 45, if that would help?- Could you do 40?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13That is going to be robbing a bank, but I will let you have it for 40.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18- I love that. I think that's brilliant.- No, I like it.- OK.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21The Reds have just made it, but what about the Blues?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23- Hello.- Hello.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28I made a phone call and she's happy to let it go for £28.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Well done.- Well done, Holly. Thank you very much.- That's it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Time's up. Let's check out what the Red team bought. They went that way.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41The sleuth in Melanie just couldn't overlook the magnifying glass.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45The Reds spent £55 on their first purchase.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Catherine did well to find their second buy.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53They just couldn't resist spending £33 on the agate ink pot
0:19:53 > 0:19:56and in the final throes of the game, Roger spotted the baseball
0:19:56 > 0:19:57money box for £40.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- OK, team?- Yes.- Did you have fun with Catherine, or what?- We did.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Wonderful, wasn't it?- What's your favourite piece, Rog the Dodge?
0:20:06 > 0:20:10I think that money box.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- That little...- Do you?- I really like that.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16OK. Do you agree with that, daughter?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19No. I like the magnifying glass with the fancy handle.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- That's your favourite?- Yes.- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- I hope so. I think so. - Do you agree, Dad?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Um. I think all three will make a medium profit.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Has he been like this all day? - Yes.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37OK, lovely. On that happy family note, how much did you spend?
0:20:37 > 0:20:42- £128.- 128. I'd like £172, please.
0:20:42 > 0:20:48£172. Steaming hot, too. Straight over to trot to Catherine.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Lovely.- What are you going to spend it on, darling?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54- I feel that I might go down an artistic route.- Really?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57That means she might buy a picture. That's code, maybe.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01On the other hand, perhaps she won't. Such a temptress.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Anyway, good luck with that, Catherine. Good luck, team.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:07 > 0:21:11The Blues snagged the swagger stick for just £13.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14They were rushing to get their hands on the niello beakers
0:21:14 > 0:21:18but it cost them a whopping £120 for the pair.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19And they dried their eyes
0:21:19 > 0:21:23and picked up the tear-shaped plum rack for £28,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25JUST in the nick of time.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Well, team. That was great, wasn't it?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- It was brilliant.- It was fun. - What's your favourite piece, Marcus?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- My favourite piece is the plum dryer.- The plum dryer?- Yes.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36It would be, wouldn't it?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- You agree with that?- That's my favourite piece as well.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43Is it really? Oh, dear. It's young and trendy as well as popular.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46And is your plum dryer going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Erm, I think the swagger stick will.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Swagger stick will bring the biggest profit?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I'm going to stick with my plum dryer, definitely.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57You're obsessed about it. How much did you spend all round?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- We spent £161.- £161.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- I'd like £139, please.- Okey-doke. - Okey-doko.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- There's the notes. - Thank you very much.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- And your change.- And the shrapnel. Straight over to Thomas.- Thank you.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- T Plant, this is your favourite moment.- I love it.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Absolutely love it. I'm going to spend it all.- Spend it all.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22- Every penny.- On something profitable. - Hope so.- Great.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26So, while Thomas heads off on his travels, I'm going
0:22:26 > 0:22:28to head off on mine.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Would you expect to find in Lewes
0:22:38 > 0:22:42an early American headdress?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I think this thing is absolutely brilliant.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51Out of all the first nation tribes in North America,
0:22:51 > 0:22:56only about 12 actually wore feathered headdresses
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and they come in a variety of styles.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00You get the halo look
0:23:00 > 0:23:03that does a curve all the way around your head.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06You have this long trailed type.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Or, if you belonged to the Blackfoot tribe, typically,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14they liked their feathers sticking more or less vertical,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16which is what these do.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So I reckon this is a war bonnet
0:23:19 > 0:23:22that might come from the Blackfoot tribe.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28It's beautifully decorated with its beadwork along the front.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32It's got all its feathers there. Some of them are a bit wonky.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Each of those feathers traditionally came from the great
0:23:35 > 0:23:41American Eagle, which the warrior had to hunt down.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43That was one of his tasks.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And he would not be entitled to wear a feather
0:23:46 > 0:23:50until he had done some brave deed of daring do.
0:23:50 > 0:23:56So the guy that had this did approximately 40 brave deeds
0:23:56 > 0:23:59to enable him to wear this number of feathers.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04What I like is the way the feathers have been secured
0:24:04 > 0:24:06to the chamois leather skullcap
0:24:06 > 0:24:12and they've got bits of red blanket that have been crudely cut
0:24:12 > 0:24:17and tied together to make the sockets into which the feathers sit.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22The other thing that's nice is these little trails of hair that
0:24:22 > 0:24:25have been tied to the top of each of these feathers.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29They are another traditional sign of an additional honour.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35Sometimes these bits of hair are from the mane or tail of a horse,
0:24:35 > 0:24:40sometimes the hair comes from an opponent who you've scalped.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43You take a lump of hair and add that to your war bonnet.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48The big problem is, unless you're an expert, is dating them.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50My personal feeling is that this
0:24:50 > 0:24:55is not one of the modern tourist type headdresses.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57It's got some age to it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:03This is a lovely understated war bonnet that could date perhaps
0:25:03 > 0:25:07from the end of the 19th century or early part of the 20th century.
0:25:07 > 0:25:13How much would you chance on this war bonnet?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Would you pay a couple of hundred pounds for it? £300?
0:25:18 > 0:25:22How about 25,500
0:25:22 > 0:25:27that was paid for a similar one in America last year?
0:25:27 > 0:25:32There's the range of price and there's the range of speculation.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36And actually, the price here in Lewes was £300.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41And for me, that was my Hiawatha moment.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56It is surely worth more. Commissioned at £250. Are we all done?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Fair warning, then. Selling at 250.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03How lovely is this, to be at Bellmans
0:26:03 > 0:26:07saleroom in Wisborough Green in the county of West Sussex with JP.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- How are you, old boy?- I'm very good, Tim.- Looking ever younger.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Now, first up we have the silver-plated magnifying glass
0:26:14 > 0:26:16that looks like CR Ashbee to me. Is it?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20It is that sort of ilk. Arts and crafts, late 19th century style.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- The handle is better than the other bits. - How do magnifying glasses sell?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well, in the section of the sale that this is in, very well.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31We have all sorts of miscellaneous and I think it would do rather well in that section, actually.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Perfect. And your estimate? - £30-£40.- £55 paid.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37So it is within a whisper.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Next is this rather intriguing looking agate inkwell.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It wouldn't hold much ink but it's novel, isn't it?
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Being a gemologist, for me, I'm more interested in the stone itself, which is agate, which is a quartz.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53You've got these coloured lines in it which were all formed sedimentary as the thing is growing.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- So it's rather a fun object. - OK. How much?
0:26:56 > 0:26:59£20-£30. £33, so that is within a whisper.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Now, we've got the Americano cast iron money bank.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07- It looks the part, doesn't it? - It does. And you are connected to the internet?- Absolutely.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12So our American collectors who seriously know about cast iron money safes, don't they,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15they can get a squint and if they fancy it, they can have a go.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- Absolutely.- How much?- £30-£50. - Perfect. £40 paid.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22That's bang in the middle.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Let's hope we'll be posting some cash into our money box shortly.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I fancy that they are going to need their Bonus Buy,
0:27:32 > 0:27:34so let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Well, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42What did Catherine, who had the whole £172, go and buy?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Catherine, you bought a rocket ship!
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Oh, that's it. - What do you mean, that's it!
0:27:50 > 0:27:51I think that's pretty good.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55- Don't you think that's brilliant? - I like it.- Look at the size of it.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00- It's huge.- It's fantastic. This has a multitude of uses.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02You get your artist first of all.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06Think about a nice hotel, they could put it in the entrance to a hotel.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10A nice big menu on it or a wedding, so many uses.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12So how much did you pay for it?
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- You gave me quite a lot of cash, didn't you?- Yes.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- You didn't spend it all, did you? - I didn't spend it all.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- I spent £50 on this.- Is that all?
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- £50.- That's OK. I don't know.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I thought that was brilliant, actually.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I'm just trying to work out, I mean, what would it sell for?
0:28:31 > 0:28:35This is going to double your money. If it doesn't, I will be surprised.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38The big thing is, you don't have to choose now,
0:28:38 > 0:28:40you can choose later after the sale of the first three items.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42But for the audience at home,
0:28:42 > 0:28:46let's find out what the jolly old auctioneer thinks about Catherine's easel.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51JP, as if by magic, let's not get hung up on this!
0:28:51 > 0:28:53This is rather a nice one, really.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58It's made of Beechwood but because you've got this lovely old dribbled oil on there and stuff...
0:28:58 > 0:29:00It's got an old master on it!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Made in Italy, which I always find is a very reassuring sign.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Nice brass ratchet.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08The thing is decently made.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11You could put a really expensive picture on that with some security.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12I think you probably could.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15I think it would be fairly safe to put a big gilt frame on there
0:29:15 > 0:29:19and expect it to be there when you came back into the shop.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21My feeling is that we will hopefully see about £100 for it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- So I've put an estimate of £80-£120. - Have you really? Because she only paid £50.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27If you can get £100, she has doubled her money
0:29:27 > 0:29:31and you will get a whoop in the saleroom, I guarantee you.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37A pretty wacky mixture. We've got the swagger stick.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39It's a cane, isn't it?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43A bamboo cane or something with this organic ivory egg on the top with a little screw-top.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Vegetable ivory, that. - Vegetable ivory, yes.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Yes. Quite fun to have that novelty, isn't it?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50People buy canes for the finials, don't they,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52and it's quite nice to have this very organic...
0:29:52 > 0:29:56I think if you are a vegetarian sergeant major, this is what you would want, isn't it?
0:29:56 > 0:30:01Yes. I don't know many vegetarian sergeant majors. You horrible lot!
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Finish up your carrots or you will be in big trouble!
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- We're on night patrol tonight! - Polish your boots!
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- So what is it worth? - That is £30-£40.- £13 paid.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- That's good, I think.- That is a Thomas Plant find of the century.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Next, we've got the niello Russian decorated beakers.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24As soon as I saw these, I knew Thomas was coming to the saleroom.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26He seems to like these things, very much so.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29What I quite liked about these ones though is if you go 19th century
0:30:29 > 0:30:33you get that very traditional 19th century sort of ornament.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37To look at that, it really does make you think of the 20th century
0:30:37 > 0:30:40and it has that air of the early 20th century about it.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43And actually, the marking on the base is for the period of 1927 to 1954
0:30:43 > 0:30:46and it fits right in there.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47'40s or '50s in style.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49So I really quite like them.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53So putting our boldest and bravest hat on, how much do you think they are going to bring?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Again, I hope we're going to get £70-£90 for them.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- Or maybe a tad more? - Maybe a tad more.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02If I can push it past 100, I will endeavour to do so.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Give it a push, push because Thomas paid £120.- Well, we're nearly there.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Now, next is the plum dryer,
0:31:08 > 0:31:11which I thought might have been a Canadian snowshoe.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Yes, you would have to have a big foot for that, wouldn't you?!
0:31:15 > 0:31:19This is very specific and particular to a place in southern France.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- This shape, particularly. - How interesting.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25So there are regional varieties in France of plum dryers.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28Only by this one particular shape, to be honest.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- The rest are fairly straightforward. - How fascinating.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33You are a brilliant man to do all that research.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Having said all that, what is it worth?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- £30 or £40, I would have thought. - Would you go for a plum dryer?
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- I don't have a great deal of use for them any more.- No.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- It just depends how plummy you are really, doesn't it?- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46So that's very interesting.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50It all depends frankly on how the vodka cups go as to whether
0:31:50 > 0:31:54the team will need their Bonus Buy, but let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00OK, you dynamic duo, you spent 161 and you gave Tom £139.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03What did you navigate yourself towards, Tom?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06It looked like a really boring box, but when you open it up,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10a fabulous desk set. Ink, seal, pencil,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12paper knife and a little inkwell.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- Very nice.- And it's Bakelite. The colours are strong.
0:32:15 > 0:32:20If you think of the Deco period, you think strong, bold,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24geometric patterns and colours, and this is what you've got. Fabulous.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27The thing about deskware, is it's becoming more and more popular.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Oh, OK. How much did you spend?
0:32:29 > 0:32:31- £75.- OK.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Which I don't think is a huge amount of money for a Deco desk set.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37How much do you think it'll go for?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I do quite a lot of pens and desk sets at auction
0:32:40 > 0:32:45and I see a potential in this. I say small profit, £10 or £20.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47But I see it as being a good thing.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53- The thing about these is they are good online sales items.- OK.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56You may not need to go with it because you've made so much profit.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00- I don't think we'll need it, but we never know.- There you go.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03That's a nice positive attitude, Marcus. Lovely jubbly.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Anyway, for the audience at home, why don't we find out right now
0:33:07 > 0:33:10what the audience thinks about Tom's desk set?
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- There you go you. - Yeah, isn't that wonderful?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18It's Bakelite, early 20th-century,
0:33:18 > 0:33:23and it's simulating a sort of jasper and onyx and...
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Amber.- Amber and onyx, absolutely.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30And ivory, it's meant to be. Very typically '30s.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Now, what are you going to do with it?
0:33:33 > 0:33:35You either shut the box and keep it
0:33:35 > 0:33:37or take all the stuff out and use it.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I don't really like the inkwell. The top doesn't fit very well.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44The nib's broken. But you could replace that, of course you could.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- There's just a few things about it that I really...- Thomas had £159.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53He invested just under half of it. He paid £75.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56And quite frankly, for me, I'm slightly with you,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59because that box isn't good enough.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02It's paper covered. If it were leather covered or even old cloth...
0:34:02 > 0:34:04OK, having said that, how much?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07£25-£35.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I'm with JP on this.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I think it would be better if the team don't go with it.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15But you never know in this game. They probably will. Let's find out.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Thank you very much, JP.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29- OK, kids, this is exciting, isn't it?- Super!- Yes!- Yes! She said yes!
0:34:29 > 0:34:34First up will be your magnifying glass. £55 you paid for that.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40- 30 to 40 is its estimate.- Ohhh! - Let's get into focus. Here we go.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Nice little object, this. And I have £25 to start me.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47At £25. Give me 30 now. 30. 35.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- 40 by the flowers. - Ooh, a little bit more!
0:34:50 > 0:34:53£40 down here. It's surely worth another fiver. 45.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55One more, come on.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56Yes!
0:34:56 > 0:34:5950. 55.
0:34:59 > 0:35:0155 on the right. Still at 55.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Any more at £55? It's all quiet on the net.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09I shall sell for 55, then. All done at £55...
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Yes!
0:35:11 > 0:35:14OK, it's face, how lovely is that, 55.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16No profit, no loss, no pain, no gain.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19£30 to start me, £30 for the inkwell.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Surely worth £30. - Come on, surely!
0:35:22 > 0:35:26£20, then. Nice little...£20 is bid, thank you. £20 at the front here.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28£25 on the internet.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31He says "no". Internet now at £25, surely worth 30 in the room.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32One of you put your hand up in here.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34We've got 25 going...30, thank you.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Well done, Madam.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38In the room at 30. 35 on the net.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Oh, we've got profit!
0:35:40 > 0:35:42No, you're not. 35 on the net,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44selling to the internet then.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46All done at £35.
0:35:46 > 0:35:52£35 is plus £2, what could be nice than that? OK, now, the money box.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54£30 to start.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Nice lot this for £30.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Somebody.- Come on, internet.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01£20 then? Let's get £20.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- There's 20.- He quite rated this as well.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06So, 25, 30, he's gone now.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0935, to the left of the pillar, 40, sir? 40.
0:36:09 > 0:36:1445. We have 45, hiding behind the pillar at £45.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Where's 50? Surely worth 50!
0:36:16 > 0:36:18£45, behind the pillar at £45.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Any more than £45?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- All done, are you sure? - It's good enough.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24£45, gentleman's bid, 45 all done.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28£45 is plus £5. So, that means overall you're plus £7.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31One wiped face, £2 and £5 is £7.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34What are you going to do about the easel, you going to risk it?
0:36:34 > 0:36:35- No-brainer.- We're going to go with it.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Definitely going with it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39Lovely, they're going to go with the Bonus Buy, the easel.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Now, you've made your decision,
0:36:41 > 0:36:45I can tell you that the auctioneer has estimated it at £80-120.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Oh, that's all right.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49So, clever socks over there paid £50,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52the auctioneer thinks you're going to double your money, for certain.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- That would be good. - Wouldn't that be nice?
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Anyway, decision made, we're going with the Bonus Buy,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59we're going with the easel and here it is!
0:36:59 > 0:37:03I have £220 to start with.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04I don't believe it!
0:37:04 > 0:37:06How brilliant is that?!
0:37:06 > 0:37:09- On the book at £220. - That's amazing!
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Straight in at £220,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13with commissions, that £220.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15220 then?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17I shall sell it...any interest on the net?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19At £220.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Yes!
0:37:21 > 0:37:24£220, you've just made £170!
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Brilliant!- £170!- Thank you!
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Catherine Southon!- I'm glad I bought that now.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33"Oh, I'm glad I bought that!"
0:37:33 > 0:37:38That is so cool! So, you are plus £177...
0:37:38 > 0:37:39177.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Do not tell the Blues a thing!
0:37:42 > 0:37:43- Oh, no!- Keep that quiet.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Now, team, do you know how the Reds got on?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Not a clue, not a clue.- You don't want to know, I tell you.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Now, the swagger stick, yes?
0:37:55 > 0:37:59With the little screw-on kind of end cover.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- You paid £13 for that.- Yes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Which is so a joke, I can't tell you!
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Anyway, he's put £30-40 on and I think that's
0:38:07 > 0:38:11a bit of a miserable estimate, if I'm being frank.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Let us hope for the best! Here it comes.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Someone start me at £40 it.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17£40 is bid. Straight in at 40.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19In the centre at 40.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21£40 is bid, main bid at 40.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Surely worth five though, where's five?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25That's five, in the centre of the room at £40.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Gets it at 40, he's the only bidder and I'm selling to him now.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31If you're all done, it's £40. All done? £40.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Oh...£40 but never mind, it's £27,
0:38:34 > 0:38:37there's nothing shameful about that!
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- These are your glasses. - Now, here come your beakers.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Rather attractive with gilt
0:38:41 > 0:38:43interiors and at what shall I say?
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Someone start me £70 for them,
0:38:45 > 0:38:46for the silver beakers.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Start me £70.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Tumbleweed...yes, it's gone quiet.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53£40 then, let's get it rolling. 40 down here.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Come on, it's got to go upwards now.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57Where's five? 45, 50...
0:38:57 > 0:38:59you can't just do one, surely?
0:38:59 > 0:39:0150, he's saying.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04I thought these would cream away.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Internet? No interest on the net now. It's £50 down here.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Anyone else in the room? Come on, one more bid, £50 here...
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Come on!
0:39:11 > 0:39:12This is a disgrace!
0:39:12 > 0:39:15£50, he's steely faced!
0:39:15 > 0:39:1750, I'm selling, fair warning, 50.
0:39:17 > 0:39:21That is as cheap as the proverbial fried potato!
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Anyway, that's -70, bad luck, chaps.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Now, the plum dryer, this has got a long way to go.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29£40 for it?
0:39:29 > 0:39:31- £40?- Worth every penny.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35£30 then? Surely, £30? Come on, £30 for the plum dryer.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37£30? There's £30 on the internet now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Surely another five though? Internet on £30.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41- You're in profit.- We are.- Miracle!
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Five somewhere else?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Anyone in the room for 35?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45You're all quiet now...at £30.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47£30, well that's not bad, is it?
0:39:47 > 0:39:48You've made a £2 profit.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51That means overall you are -£41.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53So, what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54What do you reckon, shall we go for it?
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- Yeah, why not?- We're in the minus anyway.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Try and bring it up a little bit.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00I don't know if it will, but might as well go for it.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- Yeah, we'll go for it. - You're going to go for it.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03An art-deco Bakelite desk set.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Nicely fitted this with bids on the book,
0:40:06 > 0:40:07I can start straight in
0:40:07 > 0:40:09at £40, is bid.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11At £40, are we going to get 40, we're looking for £45.
0:40:11 > 0:40:1445 internet, 50 with me.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Come on!
0:40:15 > 0:40:1755 and I've got 60 on the book.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Against you 60.
0:40:19 > 0:40:2165 and 70 with me,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23against you, internet, at £70.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2575...
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Yes, you've wiped your face, Tom.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- I've got 80 on the book. - Oh, 80 on the book!
0:40:29 > 0:40:30We're in profit, well done, Tom.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- I have 90 on the book.- 90, it's all coming back, Tom!
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Are you going to go one more? It's a commission bid then at £90.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38Anyone in the room now?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40On the book at £90 commission.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41It's fair warning, selling to
0:40:41 > 0:40:43the book at £90, 95 in time,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45clears the commission.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Now, internet bid at £95, fair warning then, selling 95.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51£95, Tom-tom is plus £20,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54that means you are overall -£21,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56so well done.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59That could be a winning score. Don't say a word to the Reds, all right?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01- No, nothing at all.- Zip!
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Well, you lovely teams, you've been chatting to one another?
0:41:09 > 0:41:10TOGETHER: No!
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Not about the result, I dare say.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16Well, there is a chasm between our teams today, I have to say.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21And the runners-up by a fair old chalk are the Blues.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22THEY SIGH
0:41:22 > 0:41:26But it ain't right this, Blues, because you made three profits
0:41:26 > 0:41:29on three of your items.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You just missed on one, seriously badly,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35which was those wretched Russian cups.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38-£70 was the body blow from which you could not recover,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40all right.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43Tom made you £20 profit on the Bakelite, contrary to the
0:41:43 > 0:41:47auctioneer's and my predictions, so you did well with that, Tom.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49But it wasn't enough to claw it back, was it?
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- No.- Never mind.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52No, your overall score is -£21
0:41:52 > 0:41:54but we have loved having you on the show.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- Thank you, it's been brilliant! - And you've been great sports.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01But the victors today are going home with a multitude of pleasures.
0:42:01 > 0:42:08For a kick-off, £177 profit, which is a fair old slug.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Almost entirely made up by the brilliance of Catherine Southon.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Well done!
0:42:13 > 0:42:18Who made £170 profit on her easel, that was a result!
0:42:18 > 0:42:21And as it's in my gift, you had one wiped face
0:42:21 > 0:42:24and two further profits but I've decided that you should be
0:42:24 > 0:42:26admitted to the ancient and venerable order
0:42:26 > 0:42:29of the "golden gavel".
0:42:29 > 0:42:31We will treat it as three profits,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33cos it's as close as a sheet of Bronco to achieving it.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36There you go, darling. There you go, Rog the Dodge!
0:42:36 > 0:42:37All right, thank you.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Pin on with pride
0:42:39 > 0:42:42and there's something to go with Catherine's collection of these.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- Anyway, have you had a nice time? - I've had a lovely time, thank you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47It's pretty cool, isn't it? When it works out like that.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49It's really exciting. Did you enjoy it, Rog?
0:42:49 > 0:42:50Oh, it's fabulous!
0:42:50 > 0:42:55On that happy note, join us soon for some more bargain hunting. Yes? Yes!
