0:00:02 > 0:00:03If you've got a hunger for antiques,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06then Hungerford is a great place to be.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09They've certainly got a great appetite for them round here,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12because there are shops and arcades
0:00:12 > 0:00:15simply stuffed to the rafters.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17No point in mucking about -
0:00:17 > 0:00:20let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Whether travelling by coach in the 17th century,
0:00:48 > 0:00:50or taking Brunel's
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Great Western Railway route in 1862,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Hungerford has always been an important stopping-off point
0:00:58 > 0:01:01when travelling across the country.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02Let us find out
0:01:02 > 0:01:06what the journey will bring forth for our teams today, eh?
0:01:07 > 0:01:11Coming up - the Reds' expertise is questionable.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- How much is it?- I don't know.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- What does it say?- Not for sale.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20No, that's the stand not for sale, you nanas!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And over with the Blues,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25it's Nick's taste that's called into question.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Do you like that?
0:01:27 > 0:01:29No!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Let's all get acquainted.
0:01:33 > 0:01:39So, it's married bliss on today's programme - we hope.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42For the Reds, we've got Ashley and George,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and for the Blues we have Kirsty and Glen.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone! - ALL: Hi, Tim!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50How lovely. Now, Ashley, it says here that you were destined to meet.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Yes, we met in a pub called The Little George,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56and then we got married,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58and we've been happily married ever since.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01How lovely. You had a special wedding, didn't you?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Yes, we did, we had a medieval-themed wedding.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06A re-enactment society came and did sword-fighting and archery.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09How did you have sword-fighting at a wedding?
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Well, it was quite exciting.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13There were loads of knights fighting...
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Over the women.- Yes, basically!
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Now, George, it says here you do a first-class job - and that's a hint.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Yes, I'm a postman. - You're a postman.- Yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22You're a postie and you're wearing red!
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I know, perfect, isn't it?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Star Wars is one of your passions.- Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28I fully enjoy Star Wars
0:02:28 > 0:02:32and I collect toys, memorabilia, magazines.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I've spent a fair few pounds over the years.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37How do you feel about this, Ashley?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Well, ever since he changed his middle name to Jedi,
0:02:40 > 0:02:41which was just before our wedding,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43really, I should have maybe thought...
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Put your foot down? Yes. - Thought about marrying him!
0:02:46 > 0:02:49If the Force isn't with you today, right,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51what sort of tactics are you going to adopt?
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Well, I think we're going to go for some glass,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56we both love glass, and silver,
0:02:56 > 0:02:57and maybe a bit of Art Deco.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- You've got a kind of game plan, then?- Yes.- Fingers crossed, yes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Well, I'm reassured.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04We'll cross everything, actually, George.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Anyway, lovely. Well done. Now, Kirsty,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10you had an unlikely object which drew you together.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yes, we did.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I work for a distributor, selling large format printers.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And Glen called to the office one day, as a customer,
0:03:18 > 0:03:19wanting a price for one.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So we got chatting,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23and then we started e-mailing,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25photos, etc.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Did you give him a big discount?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- No.- No.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31And so we decided to have a first date.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35All went well, but I said to Glen, "I will never move to Basingstoke,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38"I'm a Nottingham girl, don't expect me to move."
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Quite right.- Nine months later I moved to Basingstoke,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and I've lived there ever since.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And the rest, as they say, is history.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47OK. Well, that's sweet. Just shows that something's working.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Have you always worked with computers?
0:03:49 > 0:03:53No, I was originally in the Royal Navy after leaving college
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- and working on Sea Harrier aircraft. - Oh, were you?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Were they great bits of kit, the Harrier?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Yeah, excellent bits of kit, and the public loved them at air shows
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and called them the jump jet, flying backwards and sideways,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07up and down, that kind of thing.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10But difficult bits of kit, quite small,
0:04:10 > 0:04:13lots of equipment inside them,
0:04:13 > 0:04:14but, yeah, fun.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Mainly the lads that you work with. Brilliant.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- And you have been known to wear a mankini.- Several times.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21What exactly is a mankini?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24It's a... It's a...
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- It's kind of a.... - A bikini for men.- A bikini for men.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Really? What, no top bit?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31It covers part of you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Oh, it has a bit of a top bit. - Very little of you, it covers!
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Well, that's nice to know. Here comes your £300. £300.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46And there we are. Mankinis, eh?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, the teams tear off on their travels.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Helping them to navigate are our experts,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57and having a ball with the Reds is Kate Bateman.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03And swotting up for the Blues is Nick Hall.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Right, now, I've heard you two are quite the bargain-hunters.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- That's right, yes.- Yeah, definitely. - So do we have a plan?- Yes, we do.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Buy glass, I think, would be good. - Nice bit of silver.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20OK, bit of silver.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Well, there's lots of that inside, so what are we waiting for?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- Let's get in there.- Brilliant.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28So the Reds are revved up and raring to go.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30Do the Blues have a battle plan?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Something military. - Military? Yeah, not a bad thing.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- A bit of quality. No tat. Quality.- No tat - quality.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41No tat, Kirsty - a girl after my own heart!
0:05:41 > 0:05:44That's quite cool. What's that?
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It's a Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49You ever seen it? It's an advertising tin, shaped like books.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- That's not a bad price, actually. - How much is that?- 65.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I know that sounds a lot for a tin of biscuits without any biscuits in,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59but it's got the strap, and often you see it without the strap.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- It is pretty cool actually. - I quite like that.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03That's something to keep in mind.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Crumbs, you guys are quick off the mark.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Wow.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Glass can be good news if the quality's there,
0:06:12 > 0:06:17and there's some fantastic hand-cut 19th-century glass
0:06:17 > 0:06:18on the top there.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- I'll go and get the key and we'll see what we do.- Lovely.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- OK. Do you like that?- No.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Oh, dear! But think, Glen - will it make a profit?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31SHE LAUGHS
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I like that pansy plate myself.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Clarice Cliff. Quite expensive.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41It's £75 for a tiny little tea plate.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- In world of reality, that's a lot of money.- It is.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47That's quite good.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Do you like the cigarette case, the Deco one?- That's nice.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51That's actually all right.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- I like Art Deco things. - 85. That's quite cool.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58What's nice is, that doesn't have somebody's initials all over it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01"To Charles, love Vera." And it's 1932, so that's a proper...
0:07:01 > 0:07:03That is proper Deco. It's not a repro.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05No, I love the Art Deco period.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07What's the picture on the front then?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09It's that kind of thing that you get in the Chrysler Building.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11All those sort of clean lines,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13really cool skyscraper kind of things.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Obviously people don't use them as cigarette cases any more.- No.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17And it's a bit out of fashion in that sense,
0:07:17 > 0:07:20but they're cool, you can have them as calling-card cases.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22They're cool as little wallets and stuff like that.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Is it silver? Open it up. There should be a hallmark.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27That is the question.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Yeah, there we go!- There's loads.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Well, that's all the same hallmark.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34So what you've got is the maker here,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36and then you've got anchor for Birmingham.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38And then you've got the lion passant,
0:07:38 > 0:07:40which just tells you it's a British sterling silver.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42And then H is the year mark.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43It's good. Silver gilt.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46This is because gold is an inert metal,
0:07:46 > 0:07:47it doesn't react with anything.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It's not going to react with your tobacco or your salt
0:07:50 > 0:07:51or whatever you put in here.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- I think that's cute. - I think that's lovely.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Right, so it's on at 85.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00There might be a profit if you can get it for 50.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Crikey, I hope you Reds
0:08:01 > 0:08:04have some good bargaining skills up your sleeves.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Anything under the asking price I think's reasonable.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- Do you think it's going to go for about £80?- You'd hope so.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, there it is. Thanks, Alex.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16So, important thing with this is we're checking the condition,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19and is it a genuine early one.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20How can you tell?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Wear and tear underneath here.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26What you're looking for is in excess of 150 years' worth of wear.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I think it might be nearer to 1900 than 1850,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33so late 19th century.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34But it's nice quality.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Would there be any maker's marks on the glass
0:08:36 > 0:08:38to suggest where it came from?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Well, you tend not to get maker's marks on the majority of glass.- OK.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44The odd designer piece, you might get a monogram or something.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49- I mean, it's something to put in our think-tank, isn't it?- Yes.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Could we leave it with you to speak to the owner of that
0:08:52 > 0:08:54and, if we were interested,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58would something around about the 50, 60, 70 quid be possible?
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Well, you know, I'll do my best, we'll see.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02He might not like it, Glen.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But your expert thinks you could be on to a winner.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08How are those negotiations going?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10The best they can do is £60.
0:09:10 > 0:09:1260. What do you think?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- That's not bad. - I think we should go for it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I think we should go for it. - Do you like it?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- I like it. Yes.- Let's go wild. - All right, go on, then.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yes, we'll have it at 60.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23That's our first in the bag. Yay!
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Are the Blues having such luck?
0:09:25 > 0:09:26- Hi, guys.- Hi there.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Alex is back with a price on the vase.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- Best price that he can do is £75. - That's not a bad price.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36It's something to fall back on if we can't find anything else.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38OK? We've got a plan B, haven't we?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43What about something like that? That's Shelley.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45I know you like Deco and you like Clarice Cliff,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and that's a bit out of our price range, with a £300 limit.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51But what about that? Look. Do you like that?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55This is called Maytime, it's one of their iconic chintz patterns.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's pretty cool. It's the same time period - like, '30s -
0:09:58 > 0:10:01as the Clarice Cliff. Lots of people collect Shelley.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04That's a nice big piece,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06and it's £45.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Now, there might also be some wriggle room.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Do you like it, is the first thing? - I don't like it at all!
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You don't like it! What is it about Clarice Cliff?
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- It's the funky colours? - Yes, and the simpler design.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21That looks a bit like my nana's old bedspread!
0:10:21 > 0:10:23How rude! That's so sweet.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26- It's too girlie, is it? - Maybe a bit too girlie.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- It is nice.- It's not rocking my world, I'm afraid.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I thought I was in with a winner there. Right, come on!
0:10:32 > 0:10:35So, there'll be no shelling out on Shelley.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36for the Reds today.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh, goodbye, Shelley, my love!
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Come on, Kate, no time for crying -
0:10:40 > 0:10:42time to start buying.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Ah, here's something interesting.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- Do you like that table? - Yes, yeah.- I do, yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Chinese, hardwood.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57The sort of table you just stand a big Chinese vase or a pot on.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- The Chinese market is really strong at the moment.- Right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02And this hardwood furniture
0:11:02 > 0:11:05is doing very well in the salerooms.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06How old's that, do you think?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's not as old as you want it to be.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10It's an 18th-century style,
0:11:10 > 0:11:12a lot was also made in the 19th century.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15This, I would think, looking at the patina...
0:11:15 > 0:11:17You've got to get really underneath
0:11:17 > 0:11:18and inside these things,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and just check the construction, but...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Early to mid-20th century, I would think.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26But it's got the look.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- I mean, it's...- Not a bad price on it.- What is the price?- 34.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31Is that right?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- That's a good buy.- We could get that for 20, easily, couldn't we?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- Yeah.- I could see a big pot on there, like you say.- Absolutely.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41The warning is it's not a period piece,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44it's not old, but it's got the look.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47And with so many people collecting Chinese porcelains now,
0:11:47 > 0:11:50you need a stand like that to put a vase on.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53What sort of price do you think it would go for?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Between £50-£80.- OK.- Hope so.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I'd pay that much for it.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I'd pay about 50-60 quid. - No, you wouldn't, love.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Uh-oh, no time for a domestic!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Nick's off to do battle,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07whilst Star Wars fan George
0:12:07 > 0:12:09has spotted a familiar face.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Papier-mache snuff box.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- Princess Leia hair. - It is, the original look!
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- Princess Leia hair. - That's what caught my eye.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Never mind, George!
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Let her go.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Someone's looking pleased with themselves.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Good news, guys.- Yep.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31It's ours for the princely sum of £26 if we want it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Wow, that's good.- I think that's a yes.- I think we want it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35I think we'll make a profit on that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Well, you wanted quality, you've certainly got quality there,
0:12:38 > 0:12:42and it's bang on trend at the moment. So, for £26, are we agreed?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Yeah, definitely.- OK, that is ours.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Numero uno for the Blues.
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Now, what have the Reds found?
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's cool, but it's... I mean, how much is it?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- I don't know. - If it's a fiver...I might...
0:12:56 > 0:12:58I was going to say, if it's a fiver I might let you have it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- What does it say?- Not for sale. - Not for sale.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04No, that's the stand not for sale, you nanas!
0:13:06 > 0:13:07There's no price.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09And no hope...
0:13:09 > 0:13:12That made me laugh.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Only one item for the Blues so far.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Can they claw it back with this carved Bavarian bear?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22That is a bargain price of £30.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23There are collectors for these.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26I think it'd probably make 40 or 50 quid.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29It does say £30, it's not £330.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32£330 would be far too grizzly.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33- Eh!- Here all week.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35All week? I hope not!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36You've got an hour,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and you're fast running out of time.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- 19 minutes.- You're joking! Is that it?- I know.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43So we've got to start buying.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47And both teams still need to find two items.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Panicking!- Don't panic.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51That's quite medieval.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55That is cool. Look at that. What does that say?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57£23. That's a bargain.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01It is a bargain. "EPNS". Oh, that's all it says.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02Electroplated nickel silver.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Surely there's a make on there.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06- It's quite nice.- Oh, wow.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Do you like it?- That, I love that. - It's a big Lord Of The Rings-y.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It is a bit, isn't it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- £23.50.- I know it's only silver plate, but it is quite cool.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- That's mid-20th century, that's cool.- Oh, I do like that.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- And if you had rings, you could keep them in there.- Yes!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Practical. Ever-practical.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24- So what is it?- It's called a tazza.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28I don't know why. T-A-Z-Z-A. And it's just...
0:14:28 > 0:14:31Translated from the Italian word for a cup,
0:14:31 > 0:14:34a tazza is a shallow bowl on a pedestal.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- How much profit do you think we could get?- Not a huge amount,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39but I would estimate it 20-40.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42I mean, would you have that in your house?
0:14:42 > 0:14:46I possibly would've had it at our wedding, we had a medieval wedding,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48and that would've looked really good on the top table.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Fabulous.- I'm amazed you didn't say you had a Jedi wedding.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- No, we didn't.- I wish. I tried. - Did he try?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56He did try, but I wouldn't wear the bikini.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Let's go and see what the lady will do.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Well, you're clearly the man with the ladies. Go on!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Use the Force, George.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- As low as you like. Ten. - Right, Lynne, £10?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Let's see what we can do. - Fabulous.- Brilliant.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Meanwhile, our two Blues
0:15:10 > 0:15:13have found a set of miniature bottles.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16I think, for the money they're asking for it,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18it's not going to make a fortune,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- but it's got to make more than that, surely.- Absolutely.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Well, let's make a decision then. We'll buy the glass vase.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- I think so, yes.- We've got a couple of plan Bs to fall on
0:15:26 > 0:15:29and 15 minutes to see if there's anything better.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30That's the spirit, Nick.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Plan Bs, plan Cs -
0:15:32 > 0:15:34it's almost as if you've done this before, you two.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37We're pleased that we've made it so easy for you.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Oh, look, look. Here we go. News on the tazza.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- What is the good or bad news?- £12.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- BOTH: £12! - I don't think you could say no.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- No, I think that's a really good deal.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Shall we get that as our second item?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52We'll definitely get that as our second item. Thank you very much.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55"Obi-wan" left, Reds!
0:15:55 > 0:15:57The Blues are hot on their heels, though.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- Decision made. The yellow Bohemian vase, if we can, at 75.- Yep, 75.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- We'll have that.- So, how's that plan or yours working out, Glen?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08We came here with a game plan of buying something military,
0:16:08 > 0:16:09something Art Nouveau,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12and we've got a piece of glass and a reproduction table.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- It's going splendidly. - SHE LAUGHS
0:16:14 > 0:16:16It was back near the front, wasn't it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18And the Reds are on a rocky road
0:16:18 > 0:16:21as they try and track down their first "spot" -
0:16:21 > 0:16:23the advertising biscuit tin.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- Is it still there? - SHE GASPS
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- It's gone.- Oh, no!- It's gone.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- It has gone.- Oh, no, no, no - we were banking on that.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Right, OK.- We should have grabbed it to start with.- We should've done!
0:16:34 > 0:16:37When you see a bargain, you should grab it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39That's the way the cookie crumbles.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Glen, Glen, put the accordion down, Glen.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49That was my wife singing.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- You know those little miniature bottles you found?- Yeah.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- Well, I can trump that.- Wow.- Wow.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58That's a proper bottle of booze if you're going to buy one, isn't it?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59- And is it full?- No.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's actually a display piece from the shop of a vintner's.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Got a bit of age about it as well.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I just really like the decorative appeal to it. What do you think?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Yeah, it's nice. It's different. So what sort of age?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15It says 1838 established, but...
0:17:15 > 0:17:18That's when the vintage would have been established,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20but the bottle is probably 100 years old.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Really?- Yeah, I would think so.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Don't drop it.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27The best they can do is £47.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29What do you think that would make?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32It's difficult to say cos it's a bit of a niche market,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36but there are collectors for wine-related goods.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38The wine market is buoyant.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40OK. It's another one to consider.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I'll put it on the side as a possible maybe.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45How many plans does one team need?
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Come on, Blues, make a decision. Remember that Clarice Cliff plate?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51The Reds are making a move.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56We're going to be really cheeky and ask if we could have it for 45.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I don't know whether that would be possible.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- I will call the dealer and see what we can do.- Thank you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07- Right, let's use our Jedi powers. - Yes.- You will take it for 45.
0:18:07 > 0:18:0845 is the offer you're looking for.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15Ah, the good old-fashioned Jedi mind trick, eh, George?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Back with the Blues, they've decided against the miniature set,
0:18:18 > 0:18:20which has left them with a conundrum.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Would you prefer to go for the bottle rather than the bear?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Em...
0:18:26 > 0:18:27COUNTDOWN TIMER CLICKS
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Bottle, I think.- You're going bottle. That was 47.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- OK.- You're going bottle over bear.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Hang on, are we in the right game show?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50You want to shake this man's hand and give him £47, the cognac's ours.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52That was thirsty work, Kirsty. Cheers.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54So the Blues reach the finish line.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57But are the Reds about to do a U-turn?
0:18:57 > 0:18:58No, exactly...
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Perhaps we could get this Shelley jug.
0:19:03 > 0:19:04I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Are you coming round?
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Hello. What about the Clarice Cliff then?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I think what it is, is the top's quite delicate
0:19:13 > 0:19:14but the bottom's quite...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- I see what you mean. - Do you see what I mean?
0:19:16 > 0:19:21For me, it belongs more on a tea cup than it does on quite a chunky jug.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- But...- Just think of your interior design with your artful...
0:19:25 > 0:19:27That would look lovely.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29It looks a lot better with five minutes to go, doesn't it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31- It does.- It does.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- What was it again? - If you think that'll make a profit.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I just think it's a great make, it's good condition.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I reckon you could haggle it from 45 to 35 or even 40.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- Find her and ask her. - Yeah, let's go and ask her.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Looking rather smug there, Kate.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49- I've got 45 on it now. How about 40. - 35 and we've got a deal?- Oh...
0:19:49 > 0:19:50- Go on.- It hurts.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55Look at his face.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Seeing as you're pleading with those lovely big brown eyes,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01we'll do a deal.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- 35.- And you're not even... Are you sure?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06You're not going to wait for the Clarice Cliff?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08No, we'll go for that. That's brilliant.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10That's our three items bought. Two minutes to spare.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15- With Granny's old jug.- Oh. - This might be my smuggest face ever.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18A storming job, troops. Well done.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24It's the end of the road for the teams. Stop shopping.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:20:27 > 0:20:32A smoking deal was first up. They paid £60 for their cigarette case.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I think that's cute.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37The silver-plated tazza was their next buy for £12.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42It is quite a chunky jug.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Eventually, Ashley was sure about Shelley. The jug cost them £35.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- OK, well, you're a jolly couple, aren't you?- Yes, we are.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Now, tell me, which is your favourite piece.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- I think it's probably the cigarette case.- That's you're favourite?- Yes.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Do you agree with that? - Yes, yes.- You do?- Yep.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Is it going to bring the biggest profit, the cigarette case?
0:21:01 > 0:21:07- No. I think it's going to be the tazza that we...- Do you reckon?- Yes.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- Your tazza, eh?- Yes.- OK, fine.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12- You spent in total?- 107.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I'd like £193, please.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16There you go.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19190. Oh, and there's the three too, brilliant.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21That goes straight over to Kate Bateman. There you go.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24Nice little heap of cash, that, for you.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Yeah. Well, they like their Art Deco, so I've got a few ideas.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31I might get something '30s for you if I can afford it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You've got plenty of cash there.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Very, very good luck with that.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Why don't we check out right now what the Blue team bought?
0:21:38 > 0:21:42The jardiniere stand stood them in good stead for £26.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Whilst the Bohemian vase cost them £75.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51We all needed a drink after their final deal -
0:21:51 > 0:21:56the cognac bottle set them back £47.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58LAUGHTER
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Well, you two look very naughty.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Have they been naughty, Nick?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04I can confirm they've been that and more.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Good. Which is your favourite piece?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I think probably the bottle, actually.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Bottle?- Bottle.- OK. Your bottle.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- Would you agree with the bottle? - No, I think the Chinese table.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Chinese table is your favourite.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Yes.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Quite cunning with all this Chinese stuff doing so well.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Do you agree that it's going to bring the biggest amount?- Oh, yeah.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25- Yeah?- Totally.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- You spent in total?- 148.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30I'd like 152.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Here it comes 152.- £152, sir.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36There we go. That's lovely, with a tissue.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38You can have the tissue back,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and we'll give the cash over to our Nicholas.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I can spend the tissue. I'll try, but I don't think they'll take it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Got any ideas then?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48It's a good sum of money, actually. No idea.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52- You're a bit of a maestro though on these bonus buys, aren't you?- I try.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54It isn't easy finding the bonus buys.
0:22:54 > 0:22:55I don't envy you this task, actually.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- It's not now cos this lot have picked well.- Have they?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- They've done so terribly well. Isn't that lovely?- Absolutely.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05He is not a man who gives out false praise, I tell you.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- Well, good luck with that. - Thank you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Enjoy yourself on your search.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Meanwhile, I'm going to look at something that you could
0:23:12 > 0:23:15describe as a bit of a GILT-y pleasure.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25This pair of gilt-bronze candlesticks...
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Well, they don't look so gilt-bronze at the moment,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32because they're in a pretty tatty state.
0:23:32 > 0:23:37But with a bit of TLC and decent restoration,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41these things are world beaters.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43What's so special about them?
0:23:43 > 0:23:48Well, they're made of this miraculous cast-metal bronze,
0:23:48 > 0:23:54and they're made to the design of a man called William Bateman II,
0:23:54 > 0:24:01the great-grandson of the famous British silversmith Hester Bateman.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04They are of a peculiar and wacky design.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07That's what makes them great.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11We've got a three-sided lobed base.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14On each of the projections sits a swan.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18No ordinary swan though - a swan with a curious,
0:24:18 > 0:24:23elongated neck and upheld beak.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28All three swans are looking and concentrating on the central stem.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31This is a pretty peculiar make up,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35but when you look at the detail of quite how exquisitely
0:24:35 > 0:24:38the bronze has been cast and chased,
0:24:38 > 0:24:41you get to see quite how splendid they are.
0:24:41 > 0:24:47The feathers on the wings of each of the swans are exquisitely tooled.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50You get this curl of feathering,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54just like you see on real swans
0:24:54 > 0:24:56paddling up and down the Thames.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01That makes these very special, because they'll restore beautifully.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06What they need is a really good clean and to be re-gilt.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09In fact, in some of the examples I've seen,
0:25:09 > 0:25:13the swans aren't gilt at all, they're silvered.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18If you can imagine how smart these silvered swans would look
0:25:18 > 0:25:24nestling up against a gilt metal, it would be simply breathtaking.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27As a result of all of that, these candlesticks
0:25:27 > 0:25:29are actually worth a lot of money.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31They don't look it now,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34but they will be when they've had the treatment.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Decently restored, they're worth the top end of £5,000.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Some swan.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42Some candlestick.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58What do you do when you come away from Hungerford?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02You go 15 miles down the road to Newbury to Special Auction Services,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04which is what we've done today to be with Tom Plant.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Tom, great to be here. - It's great to have you.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09For the Reds, they're looking forward to big profits
0:26:09 > 0:26:12like on their silver and gold Deco cigarette case.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- That's a period thing.- It is a period thing.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Engine-turned with a bit of gold to it. What do you do with them now?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23- I've got an idea.- Have you? - Yes.- Oh, good.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26My idea is actually open them up and put photographs inside.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27That's my idea.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Oh, is it your idea?! Is it?! - I had that idea years ago.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Did you?- Did I tell you about it? - You may have told me.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35No, seriously.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38There are thousands of redundant engined-turned 1920s,
0:26:38 > 0:26:401930s cigarette cases knocking about,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43so making them into something else is a good idea.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47But that one cost this team £60.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- Did it now?- Yes, it did.- Mm.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- With no enamelling, that's a lot of money.- £40-£60.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Really, that's being generous.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56It is. We quite like the gold bit on it, really.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58It looks quite period and Deco.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Fine. What about this tazza. That looks stylish.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03It's really stylish.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05- We had three of us looking at that.- Did you?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09We were looking at it thinking, "Is this period?"
0:27:09 > 0:27:13It's not yesterday. It's marked EPNS.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16The legs are a little bit thick and clumpy,
0:27:16 > 0:27:19but otherwise it's an extremely stylish thing.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- It looks like it's German or Austrian.- It does.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Very, very strong in style.- It is.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28You think it does date from the '30s. '20s, '30s.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Yeah.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31We put it at 70-90.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Have you really?- Yeah.- Repeat it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- £70-90.- I can't believe it. They only paid £12.- No!- Yes!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39- Really? What a bargain! - Well, it's a steal, isn't it?- It is.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Well, if you achieve £70-90, there will be a team jumping for joy,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46and they'll be the Reds.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47- Whooping.- Whooping.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I'm not sure there's a lot to whoop about
0:27:49 > 0:27:51when it comes to this green jug.
0:27:51 > 0:27:56Well, it is not my taste, it's a very female taste,
0:27:56 > 0:28:01but it has that vintage look, which is what people are going for now.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03It is Shelley. Shelley is a good factory.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06It's a good factory, but it has that vintage appeal.
0:28:06 > 0:28:12Almost Cath Kidston-esque with that apple blossom. They're good colours.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13It's very now.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- OK. It's very now and on-trend, so how much?- We put £20-30 on it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- OK, they paid £35, which is not so on-trend.- No.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22So they paid a tad too much for that.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25They paid a tad too much for the silver cigarette case,
0:28:25 > 0:28:27but everything is going to be fine for them
0:28:27 > 0:28:29as a result of the tazza.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31In which case, they won't need the bonus buy,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Well, this is fun.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40You gave a mammoth amount to Kate - £193 leftover lolly.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Kate, what did you spend it on?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45I bought this little beauty.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's very lovely. It's a cigarette case.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51It's 1930s, so it's hallmarked 1931.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55All enamel top, little sunburst here. I think this is so sweet.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I would eat this myself. I love it. What do you think?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- How much did you pay?- £150.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I think that's worth it cos it's a lovely thing.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05It's perfect condition, which for enamel,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08if you've got chips off it, it takes a lot of the money off.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10How much do you think it'll make?
0:29:10 > 0:29:14On a good day, you might make £50. It would be nice to see it at £200.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I think there's a good chance for profit here,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- cos it's a really nice thing. - Yeah, it's beautiful.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Really beautiful.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I know you like your Deco stuff as well, so I thought of you.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Excellent. That is gorgeous.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Well, rather lovely that the modest amount of money that you
0:29:28 > 0:29:33spent on your first three items has been considerably expanded by Kate.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37- An expenditure of 150, you say. - We had to spend some money.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Well worth it. - Yeah, it's beautiful.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Well, you don't pick now, you pick later.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Why don't we, or at least the audience at home,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's little case?
0:29:50 > 0:29:56- Now, TP, yet another opportunity to shove a photograph inside.- Yes.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Sunburst Art Deco design. - Very stylish, isn't it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- It is very stylish. - Very Vera Lynn. That's 1931.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06That's the best that Birmingham could produce, isn't it, in 1931?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Heavy silver, beautifully engine-turned,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10beautifully enamelled.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14That's the object that you would want to take the Regal cinema
0:30:14 > 0:30:20that had just opened in the middle of your town in that dynamic decade.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Kate loves it. She's invested £150.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28- 150?- £150. That's a whopping amount to pay, isn't it?
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- 70-100 is what it's worth.- Yeah. - It might only make 60.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- Or it might only make 50. - Absolutely. But it's not bad.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38The team may not go with it at all. In which case, it won't matter.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42If they do, they better watch out. That's a government health warning.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Moving on from the Reds to the Blues.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46What about that hardwood stand, Tom?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Well, it's very stylish. - Isn't it?- It is.- Not very old.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54No, not at all, but modern, stylish, decorative.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56It's what the market is after.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01That Nick Hall is a bit obsessed with this stuff. He paid £26 for it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05- Really?- Which is nothing.- Nothing. We put it in at 40-60.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Think of the work in cutting it, moulding it,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- sanding it, polishing it. - It's beautiful.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And producing a beautiful table out of hardwood.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16At the end of the day, old Hall comes along and he pays £26.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- And then we put it in at 40-60. It seems there's no justice.- Not really.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25- What about the bohemian flashed glass vase?- Well, I am a glass fan.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28I think glass is a fabulous material.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31There's a lot of work has gone on with this.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Hand-blown, then dipped in the citrine, the amber colour.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40Then it's been wheel engraved in a traditional design, but with little
0:31:40 > 0:31:44highlights of Art Deco on here, with the circles and the dashes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49Just brings it up from a Victorian example to a '30s.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Yes. '20s or '30s.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- Yeah, jolly good. How much? - We put it in at 50-80.- £75 paid.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58You might get that. It's got the quality, hasn't it?
0:31:58 > 0:31:59It's got the quality.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Condition's good. Bit dirty.- It just needs a jolly good clean.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Rather like the shop display. That's a dirty bottle.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05It is a dirty bottle.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10But if you were somebody who enjoyed a bit of brandy,
0:32:10 > 0:32:16- you had a little cellar or a shrine to alcohol, this would be ideal.- Yes.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Of course some people just collect advertising material, don't they?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22They do. It's a very pretty piece of lithograph.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Pretty lithograph.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- It's got the look. - Mm, got a great look.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- We put £50-70 on it.- Quite right too. It could make £100, I think.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32£47 paid by Nick anyway. So that was a good buy.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35All in all, this team are not going to need their bonus buy,
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I don't think, but let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Well, this is so exciting.
0:32:40 > 0:32:46You spent £148, £152 went to the great Nicholas. What did you buy?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Well, I'm quite excited about this.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51I think these are great things. I hope you like them.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- Oh.- Look at those.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Hold them under the back there. Aren't they cool things?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Yeah.- I am speechless.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- They're quite different. - They're heavy.- They are.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Gosh, they are heavy.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Well, the ball at the back is the counterweight.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12So you put a candle in there and it won't tip forward.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17But what they actually are, are Arts and Crafts, I think from the
0:33:17 > 0:33:22studio of WAS Benson, which is a big name in arts and craft metalware.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I think they're a really cool shape.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29To Arts and Crafts aficionados, I think they're a must-have lot.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30How much, sir?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- I paid 65.- OK.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- I'd be really disappointed if they make less than £100.- Yeah?
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Good choice.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38Excellent.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40It looks like a win, win, win, doesn't it?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Hopefully, if you decide to go with them. If you need to.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Let's find out right now,
0:33:45 > 0:33:48though, what the auctioneer thinks about Nick's sticks.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Well, well, well, there you go, Tom, something special for you.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- These are lovely. - Aren't they?- They are superb.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01We've called them in the style of WAS Benson, this very famous
0:34:01 > 0:34:07counterweight designer of lighting, electrics, candlesticks.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- Fabulous in brass and copper.- And so much of the moment, aren't they?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14They are really quite cool.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17We rate these. We put them in at £80-120.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Really? £65, Nick Hall paid. - He's done very well.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22They've got great potential, haven't they? Will these be on the internet?
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Yes, it's all online.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Well, we look forward with confidence then, don't we?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Absolutely.- This is going to be exciting. Thanks, Tom.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38OK, Ashley, George, what is your expectation now?
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Well, fingers crossed we'll make a very good profit.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42Is that what you reckon?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Well, that's what I'd like. In real life, I'm not sure.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49You've got this silver-plated tazza. Who found the silver-plated tazza?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- I did.- I did!
0:34:51 > 0:34:53It's mine.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Well, he thinks it's unbelievable. He's estimated £70-90 on it.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Are you kidding me?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00£12 you paid for that.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03They can't believe that you bought that so well at £12.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Oh, I'm really chuffed.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08First up, then, is your first cigarette case,
0:35:08 > 0:35:09the one with the gold band.
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Here it comes.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Art Deco silver cigarette case with rose, gold and geometric designs.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Bids here with me, jumping straight in at 45. 50 with me.
0:35:18 > 0:35:1950 the bid.

0:35:23 > 0:35:26- At £50 I have.- Come on.- Go, Tom.

0:35:34 > 0:35:39I can't bear it. £55. That's bottom-tighteningly close.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Minus five.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42Here comes your big, old tazza.

0:35:58 > 0:35:59Go on, one more.

0:36:19 > 0:36:23Right on the button of fashion. Start me here, £10.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Ten I've got. Any advancement on ten?
0:36:25 > 0:36:28At £10, at ten. 12, 15, 18...
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'd have this in my house.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Five, eight. 30? No?

0:36:50 > 0:36:54That's £40. That means you're plus five, OK? You were plus 38,
0:36:54 > 0:36:59now you've got the £5 back, you're back at plus 43.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02How lovely is that? £43 worth of profit.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04What are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Are you going to go with the cigarette case?
0:37:06 > 0:37:07It's a difficult one.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- We should go for it. - We should go for it.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- Let's go for it.- You really want to? I mean, it's a big number, £150.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18- Do you want to go home with some money?- OK, let's leave it.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- We'll leave it.- You've decided not to go with the bonus buy.- Are you sure?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24We were so close to saying yes.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28We're going to sell it anyway to see what happens.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Art Deco cigarette case.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I can start the bidding with me here straight in at £50.
0:37:34 > 0:37:39Straight in at 50. Any advance at 50? Five. 60. Five.

0:37:53 > 0:37:55120. 120 now.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59At 120 once, 120 twice.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00All done, then.
