0:00:06 > 0:00:10We're at the rather wintry Ardingly International Antiques
0:00:10 > 0:00:11and Collectors Fair.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Are you ready for action?
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:48Sussex has been the location of several of Britain's invasions,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51including the onslaught of the Romans.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53But who will be victorious today?
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Will it be the Reds?
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Will it be the Blues? Or will we simply see some white faces?
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Let's take a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Well, today for the Reds, the sums just don't add up.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- We were quick on the maths, there, weren't we?- Oh, well, not really.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Not really.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16While the Blues try and get rid of their expert.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20Can I just hide under the table?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23But before I give too much away, let's meet the teams.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29So, it's a mother and daughter-fest on today's programme.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31For the Reds, we've got Chris and Jenny,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and for the Blues we have Carol and Caroline.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Lovely to see you.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Now, Chris, it says here that you're a bunny boiler, I mean, boarder.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Yes, the days of my bunny boiling are over.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- Really?- Yes.- No, we won't go there.- No, no.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47So, what do you do with bunnies, currently?
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I run like a boarding kennels but for rabbits and guinea pigs.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- And you take hamsters, too? - Hamsters too.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55But I do draw the line at rats, I'm not a great fan...
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- You don't like a white rat.- No, not too keen.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00No. But it's not just animals you're passionate about, is it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:04No, I belong to a fundraising committee for a children's
0:02:04 > 0:02:09charity and we raise between, on an average year, about 15,000.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I mean, you have to work really hard to raise 15 grand.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- We do work hard.- I mean, that's a good sum, isn't it?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Yeah, we do, but we have a good time doing it, too, otherwise it wouldn't gel.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- The team wouldn't gel.- No, quite.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24- Now, Jenny, you're a student.- I am. - Tell us about your studentship.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I'm at the National School of Furniture in Oxford,
0:02:27 > 0:02:28learning to design and make furniture.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- And what drew you to that? - I kind of fell into it by accident.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I came out of college, the first time,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37and had no idea what I was going to do.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41And Mum actually got me some work experience with an antique restorer.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And, I loved it.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Absolutely adored it, and he was just like,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47"This is the college you need to go to. I don't know where it is..."
0:02:47 > 0:02:49But, it turns out it's in the centre of Oxford.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Oh, lovely. How are you with antiques?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53I'm not so good with antiques,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I prefer things that are quite tactile so you might have something
0:02:56 > 0:03:00that's modern that's really just interesting, it has a story to it.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02And are you going to work well as a team, do you think?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Oh, yeah, we usually do.- You usually do? You're all ready for the attack.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09- Oh, absolutely.- Yep.- Well, we'll stand by and very good luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Now, Carol, you have a passion for antiques.- Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Which is a rarity for contestants on Bargain Hunt, I have to say.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19So, we're expecting great things from you.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Oh, amateur! I'm an amateur.
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Tell us about your passion.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29We like collecting together, we like going to antique fairs,
0:03:29 > 0:03:34- vintage fairs. Antique... - Auctions?- Auctions, yes, auctions.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Have you ever found any bargains?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Yeah, I've found a few bargains. - OK, tell us about that.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- I bought a nice ring once for £60. - Yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:48- And I got it valued for £1,200. - You didn't?- And I sold it for £900.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Well, that's something else, isn't it?
0:03:50 > 0:03:52So I was quite pleased with that, yes.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Oh, we want some of that performance today, please.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57And, Caroline, you share your mother's love of antiques?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Yes, we do like going out together, yes.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And what do you do when you're not looking for bargains, Caroline?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I'm an equestrian instructor-cum-trainer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11I freelance, so I teach semi-professional
0:04:11 > 0:04:14and really good amateurs all the way around the country.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18And they go out competing from my fitness programmes and,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20hopefully, they come back with rosettes. And winnings!
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- You're good at it?- Yeah. I've competed myself.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Oh, have you?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27For many years and I'm just having a little rest for a couple of years.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So, I'm pushing forward on training other people at the moment.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Very nice, too. Let them fall at the first fence, what?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37We don't get any of that, when they've been trained by you.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- No, of course not. - No, of course not. Absolutely.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41So, are you looking forward to putting your knowledge
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- of antiques to the test?- Yes.- We are.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48- You are. Are you looking forward to spending our £300?- Oh, yes.- Yes. - Oh, yes.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Because that is the £300 moment - right now. There's your £300.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I wouldn't mind trying a bit of eventing.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So, that's it for our teams, but who are our experts?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Well, hoping to swim and not sink later, at the auction,
0:05:07 > 0:05:08we have Anita Manning.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10What is she wearing?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16And planning to attract the bargains for the Blues,
0:05:16 > 0:05:18it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Girls. We're here to do some bargain hunting.- We are.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23What do you want to buy?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Oh, I think a nice piece of Charles and Eames furniture.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33- A lovely solitaire diamond would be fantastic.- With £300?- If we can!
0:05:33 > 0:05:34We'll do our best.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- Right, ladies. What's our plan? - Rummage through a lot.- Yep.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Try and find something a little bit different, maybe.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Because you're quite traditional and you're quite modern, in tastes. - Absolutely, yes.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49So, are we going to find some happy, even ground, do you think?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- We're going to try, aren't we? - We're going to try, OK.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- As long as it makes a profit.- That's the key!
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It's all about the money.- It's all about the money. Come on, then.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58It is, indeed, Blues, so get spending.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01You've only got 60 minutes, remember.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- Oh, nice bed.- Yeah, I like that bed, you know.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Do you think that's a four foot?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I think it's...not going to sell overly well.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Oh, deck chairs do well.- In that mud?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Feels a bit cold to be buying deck chairs, doesn't it?- It does, doesn't it?
0:06:20 > 0:06:23So, the Blues are diving straight in while the Reds are taking
0:06:23 > 0:06:27a more relaxed approach to proceedings.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- So, we're looking, maybe, for a nice piece of furniture.- Yep.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Do you like furniture which is simple in design?- Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38I really do quite like the more simple kind of thing in furniture
0:06:38 > 0:06:43because it's not something I've grown up with, I've always grown up with Mum's antiques
0:06:43 > 0:06:47that are quite...overly decorated, or quite ornate.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51You're meant to be shopping, teams, not chatting.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00- OK, so, these are nice but they are a bit modern, look.- Ah, OK, no.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- They've still got the bar code on. - Yeah, something old, Blues, eh?
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I think we want to avoid those.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I'm glad I brought my wellies.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Come on, the Reds, pick the pace up.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Oh, whoa, what a choice!- It's a treasure trove.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19The fair is your oyster.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Eyes down, teams.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26What does that say? "R55". I don't know what that means, maybe that's a stock code or something.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Can you imagine those in a massive warehouse building?
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- I mean, they'd be quite cool, wouldn't they?- We're not allowed to pull it over, are we,
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- and have a look?- Can we have a look underneath them?- Yeah, it's quite heavy.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Are they really heavy?- It is quite heavy.- What do they look like underneath?- Oh, wow.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- There's quite a lot of chicken wire. - Chicken wire?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43And the bulb, I don't know if you could still get those bulbs.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47They're great, but I think they might just be too big, though, for a modern home, don't you?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I mean, gosh, could you imagine trying to hang that from a ceiling?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Cor, blimey.- In a barn conversion, or something.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54- Shall we leave them? - Do you like them?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57I kind of like them, but I'm not sure that a lot of people would like them.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- Do you like them?- I think they're cool.- They're very cool.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06- But I've never been cool.- They're very cool but we've got to have a united decision.- Yeah.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Shall we just think about it?- OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13They're £250 for the pair, if you're interested, Blues.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14No.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16The Reds, though, have found something "plane".
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Have you used one of these?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21I haven't, actually, but they're easier to use if they're heavier.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I can imagine those being a little bit lighter.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- For £20 it's not that... - It's not dear.- It's not dear.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Again, in tools and in instruments you're looking for maker's names,
0:08:31 > 0:08:37you know, or little tiny planes which are used for making mouldings.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39You know, these are lovely wee things.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Let's keep that in mind because that's not too dear.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Do you want to spend lots of money or do you want to spend little?
0:08:47 > 0:08:53- I'd say little. Little bits. - And your mum would say?- Lots.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- We need to leave some for you. - Leave me a pound and I'll be happy.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02You're always happy, Anita. As is Christina.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06We've got a right happy bunch today.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Now, that's a talking point around the table.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- That's quite nice, as a centre piece.- What's this?
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- This will be EPNS, can you see that yellowish tinge it's got to it? - Yeah.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19So, that would have had silver plating over it, originally,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22but now this yellow has come through. So the silver plate has worn away.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- It's a nice bowl, I like the fact that it's oak and it's carved.- Mmm.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Is it heavy?- It is quite heavy, not ridiculously so.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Oh, no, no.- It's got a pedestal, which is nice,
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- but to have that resilvered would cost you a small fortune.- Mm, yeah.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38So, if you were going to buy it I would say you need
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- it for not very much money.- No, OK.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44But nice thing, very nice thing, do you want to ask the price on it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- No.- Straight to the point, Carol. That's what we like.- OK.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53- No, no?- Decisive, I like it, decisive, right.- We've got to know.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56But you've both still to find your first purchase.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Come on, teams, you've had 15 minutes already.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- See this big one? This here? - Yes.- What is that?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- What sort of glass is...? - It's knobbed glass. Have a look.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17< Now, I can do that for £20. But I really can't go any lower.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Let's have a look at it.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- Now, you see that the base here is called the pontil.- Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27And it's where the glass rod has been snapped off.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31But this has been polished here so it's been hand-blown
0:10:31 > 0:10:34and has been finished so, a wee bit of quality there.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35- OK.- Yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- An interesting vase, it is modern.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- I don't know if you like these details, here.- I don't dislike them.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I like them as well.- Yes, yes.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- I think, I quite like the colours in it.- Yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- You like the colours in it?- Yes.- For £20 it's...
0:10:52 > 0:10:54< And I seriously can't go any lower.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56You can't go any lower then that?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- I paid £20 for it, so you are getting a bargain.- Yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- < If it was to anybody else I'd double the price!- Yeah, uh-huh.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- It's up to yourselves.- Yes, that's fine.- Yeah.- Lovely.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Shall we take that? Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- I think that's very nice.- Yes.- It's lovely.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Great work. One down, Reds.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The Blues, however, are still rushing about.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Is that what you envisaged buying when you came on Bargain Hunt?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- Well, I'm just open minded, really. - Yeah?
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I mean, I would have that on my patio.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- No?- We've lost her.
0:11:30 > 0:11:35- I think you have.- Come on, my love.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- I quite liked that.- Right, come on, let's one under our belt.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Good idea, Christina. Will they find anything indoors?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Crikey, Caroline, I thought we'd have bought something by now.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54So did I, Carol.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Now, the Reds are on the lookout for Chris's sparkler.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04This lady is looking for a one-carat diamond for about 20 quid.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- So, how much money have you got?- Very little.- Well, what's very little?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Well, if we spent 30, 40, 50 pounds, you know...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- There's nothing in there.- I know.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- There's nothing cheap in there, guys, and I'm so sorry.- OK.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20You've got very good taste, Reds, but, sadly, not the budget.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Now, the Blues have found a little gem. Don't tell the Reds, though.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Yeah, how much is that little garnet and pearl one, there, that's quite dinky, isn't it?
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- Yeah, that's very nice.- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Can probably do that for about 80. - £80, OK.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39What's your thoughts? That's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- That's quite pretty.- Is it in gold? - Yes.- Do we know what carat?- Nine.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- All in nine?- I'm pretty sure it's nine.- Let's have a little look.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- Yeah, nine.- Are we thinking a bit of jewellery?
0:12:50 > 0:12:55Yes, we have a nice 375 nine-carat mark on that. Garnet, in the middle?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- Yeah.- Garnet and seed pearls.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00It's an interestingly cut garnet, you've got a good,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02unusual cut on that one.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05It's sort of a cabision, but a faceted cabision.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- It catches the light, doesn't it? - Yeah, that's quite pretty.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10It's quite pretty. What do you think?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15- I wouldn't like to pay £80 for it. - She's a tough one, that Carol.
0:13:15 > 0:13:21- Blimey.- What's your lowest figure on that?- Would you take about 50, 55? - What's your very, very best...
0:13:23 > 0:13:25£60?
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- £56?- So you have a good day and so do we?- £56?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33I'm sorry, they are the best bargain hunters
0:13:33 > 0:13:35I've ever met in my life. Can I just hide under the table?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- We haven't bought anything yet!- Ah, haven't you managed to buy anything?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42It's all right, don't worry about it.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44What do you think? £56?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- What could you do for us? - I'll do you £55, then.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52I think you need to give her a big hug and say, "You're a legend."
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- Good luck.- Thank you.- Thank you. Well done.- Yay, we have our first one.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- One down! And, it's beautiful. - It's very, very beautiful.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Thank you very much.- Thank you, fantastic.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Well done, Blues. Oh, it's all diamonds and pearls for these teams.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- Well, I would wear it.- I would wear that, as well.- Yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I don't think the youth of today might.- Do you not think so?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- I think you might be right, Mum. - Stylish women of a certain age.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Of a certain age who are going to spend the day at the auction, Anita.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27It's jasper and pearl and it's set in silver.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- I mean, it's quite classic. - And it's not hugely expensive.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34You know, they're not dear and if we maybe put the chain...
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- Together.- ..together, it makes a finished item.
0:14:38 > 0:14:46- Yes, 18 and was that 19? - What is that?- 37.- 37.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Maybe we could get it for about 30.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- We were quick on the maths there, weren't we?- No, not really!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Not really.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- Hello.- Hello.- I've got a couple of girls of style, here.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Could we buy this for somewhere round about 30?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08- 30 will do fine.- 30 will be fine? - Yes.- Girls, what do you think?
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Perfect.- Yeah, that would be brilliant.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- That's lovely, thank you very much. - Good luck.
0:15:13 > 0:15:19Yes, well, let's hope that we have women of style in London.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I'm sure you will, Anita. Good work, Reds, two down.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29But, what about the Blues? Have they struck lucky with number two, yet?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33So, we've got a silver matchbox holder.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37The mark is a little bit rubbed but if you breathe on it you can
0:15:37 > 0:15:42- see it's, "London C," so that will be about 1903?- Yeah.- So Edwardian.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45When you say it's quite rubbed, does that make a difference to the
0:15:45 > 0:15:47price or just that you're looking to check the content?
0:15:47 > 0:15:51Well, silver collectors will not like the fact that the
0:15:51 > 0:15:54marks are rubbed but it's a useable thing and it's got a...
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Actually, what's really nice, it's got a retailer stamp on the bottom.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01For Barrett & Sons, 63 and 64 Piccadilly, London.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04- Oh.- Oh, that's quite nice. - Yeah, nice quality piece.- OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08- What's your thoughts? I mean, what was your best price on that one?- 45.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Oh, you're a darling, shall we go with that?- 45.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Yeah, I mean, if it came in to me, I'd say £30 to £50.- Would you?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So it's not that much profit.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20It's not going to be a huge amount of profit but it stands a good chance of selling.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25- Would you do 40?- Yeah.- You would do 40?- Yep.- And it's a nice thing.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Can it be cleaned up?- Oh, your sleeve's doing a wonderful job.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- It's quite scratched.- Is there any more to come off that at all?
0:16:33 > 0:16:37- Uh...35.- I think that's really, really good.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- I think that's incredibly fair. - It's really good.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- It stands a good chance of selling. - Yeah, I'll get tormented for it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I think, shake her hand and say thank you very, very,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- very, very much.- 35, thank you. - Two down, ladies, well done.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52My goodness me, this is brilliant. Fantastic.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- So we've got about 15 minutes and we've got one more to buy, OK?- OK.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- So there's no dawdling, let's get going.- Yes, fabulous.
0:16:58 > 0:16:59Amazing work there, Blues.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03And listen to Christina, that time will fly by.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Right, touch wood, the Reds have found their final item.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- What's the name on it? JP Benmore. - Yeah, that's the maker's name.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- The makers name. - It's a chamfer plane.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Now, it's important to have a maker's name,
0:17:18 > 0:17:25- it makes it that much more valuable. - What's the price on it?- 55.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29How would you use this? Is it for a big chunk of wood?
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I don't think so on this one. I haven't ever used one of these.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- Do you know how to do it? - Yeah, it's basically for...
0:17:37 > 0:17:40If you use it on a corner, like that,
0:17:40 > 0:17:45that would just flatten it off and make it into a peak.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Like you say, it's only a small plane so it's not taking lots of wood off.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51It's got quite a nice blade on it, actually.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54THEY LAUGH
0:17:54 > 0:17:56I'm talking to two technicians, here.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It's brought a wee smile to your face.
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- I would actually quite like to have this one.- Ooh!
0:18:05 > 0:18:06- I'll do it for 45.- 45.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13- If we could make it 40, I think we'd have a deal.- OK, I'll do it for 40.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14Super.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Excellent. Steady work, Reds, job done.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19But the Blues still have one item to find.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- Look, Caroline, horsey.- No, that's too expensive.- Oh, is it?- Yes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25This is cute, isn't it?
0:18:25 > 0:18:28OK, so that's Old Tupton Ware so that's not Moorcroft
0:18:28 > 0:18:31but it's very much in the style of Moorcroft.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- What do you think? - What do you think?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- It's not Moorcroft, though, is it? - No, it's not Moorcroft.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36That's you told, Christina.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45OK, so, that has got a Moorcroft impress mark on the base
0:18:45 > 0:18:46but no signature and, often,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Moorcroft buyers do like to have a painted signature.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52But, obviously, there isn't enough space on the base of this to
0:18:52 > 0:18:54be able to sign thoroughly.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And it's on this rather lovely, graded blue ground.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00It's relatively modern, but it's ready to go, it's got its plug.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03And, it's already been PAT tested, which is brilliant.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- What do you think?- What did you have on it, 145?- 145.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12- Would you be open to offers on that? Would you?- £80?- Is 80 too low?
0:19:12 > 0:19:13Too low.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- < Oh, Caroline says it's too much.- It's too much?- Too much.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18You're not happy at spending £80? No?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20On Moorcroft.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Yeah, it's a good name.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27It's a good name, Blues, and the time is ticking.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28Focus now, Blues.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- I'll hold the lamp as a... - It's nice, horses' bottoms.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Right, ladies, we've eight minutes left, let's focus now.- How many?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Eight minutes.- Don't get distracted by paintings, let's go.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Let's go, let's go. Horse? What do you think?
0:19:40 > 0:19:41Come on.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47She's rather lovely, she's called the Arabian Dancer, I think.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51She's, yeah, bronze. But, I think your mother's doing a deal.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Are you doing a deal?- No, she will only come down to 100.- £100.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I don't think that's enough, do you? Is that going to go to auction?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Once you know it will be a good deal then we'll pay 100.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- We've got to win, though, haven't we?- That's fighting talk.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06But, I have to say, it's not far off the mark
0:20:06 > 0:20:10because if it came into me I'd say 80, 120, one to 150.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Could we do, like, two or three pounds under the 100?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14We don't want a tight margin, just in case.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16< Doesn't sound as though we've spent as much.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19You kill me! You kill me! 98!
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- No more!- I'd like to apologise on behalf of my team.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- 98, that's under the 100. No more. - What's your thoughts?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Well, I do like it, there's no doubt about that.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Oh, she's going in for the kill. - There you go.- Thank you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Before she changes her mind. - Thank you.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Sneaky, Caroline. And just in the nick of time. Well done, Blues.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Now, let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought, shall we?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47First up, they spent £20 on the mid-20th century glass vase.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52The white metal pendant with silver chain cost them £30.
0:20:52 > 0:20:58And Jenny took a liking to the brass mounted Beachwood plane, paying £40.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04OK, my bevy of beauties.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Now, Jenny, which is your favourite piece?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I actually liked the chamfer plane most.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I thought it was really interesting.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Well, you would do, wouldn't you, being of the wood and the interest in the furniture, which is lovely.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Is it going to bring the biggest profit?- I don't think so.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Which is going to bring the biggest profit?- Probably the vase.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- Because it was quite a bargain. - Super, Mum, what do you think?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28I think the vase will bring the best profit
0:21:28 > 0:21:32but I actually love the pendant that you spotted first, didn't you?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It was lovely. I really liked it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- She's a very good spotter though, isn't she?- She is a very good spotter.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41And, I'm told, you spent a very small, canny amount of money.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- How much, actually?- We spent £90, overall.- Mm, we did.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46OK, well that is a canny small amount.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50Anyway, £210 of leftover lolly, please, from somebody.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Yep.- There you go.- Thank you very much. Well, that is a lot of money.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57And when it goes across to Anita Manning, you notice that her
0:21:57 > 0:22:01eyes light up like a cash register, which is a sweet thing to see.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But, what is she going to go for? The canny one.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07I'm going to try and spend as much of this money as I can.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- Good girl, good girl.- Yeah, look how pleased she is about that.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Anyway, good luck with that, Anita. Good luck, girls.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:22:15 > 0:22:19£55 was spent on the gold, garnet and seed pearl pendant.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24They spent £35 on the late Victorian silver match box holder.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31And, finally, the Moorcroft table lamp cost them £98.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34So, this is our triple C moment.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- We've got Caroline, Carol and Christina.- Here we go.- What a dream.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Was it good fun?- Very good fun.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Yeah, lovely spending somebody else's money.- Absolutely.- Easy.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47So, Carol, tell me - which is your favourite piece?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- I did like the pendant.- The pendant?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- With the little seed pearls and the little...- Garnet.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53..garnet in the middle.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Does the daughter agree with that? - Yes.- You do?- Yes.- Best to agree with your mother.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- It was beautiful, always agree with my mother.- Exactly.- Always.- Perfect. Learn that very young. Super.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04And which item is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Pendant.- The pendant?- Chain, yes. - Oh, do you think?- Yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- What do you think, Mum?- Not sure about the Moorcroft, maybe.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Moorcroft maybe?- Maybe.- And how much did you spend in total?- £188.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18188, I'd like £112 of left over lolly, please.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- I think I have that.- Thank you, Caroline.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24You don't like handing this over, do you? Very, very unwilling handover.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Straight to CT.- Thank you very much. - So, what are you going to buy?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I think I might just have a little mooch and see what I can find.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33- Relax and see what you can find. - Yes, have a nice amble.- And very nice, too.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Meanwhile, I'm going to go and hang around the fair.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Now, this is very tasty, I can guarantee you that you haven't
0:23:46 > 0:23:49seen one of these for years, if ever.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Da-dum! What do you think about that?
0:23:54 > 0:24:00Is that not the cutest cut-out cardboard coat hanger you
0:24:00 > 0:24:02ever did see in all your life?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04And look at her face, is there not something
0:24:04 > 0:24:08reminiscent of the late Queen Mother as a young woman, there?
0:24:08 > 0:24:15Because I guess this thing was probably made in about 1925 to 1930.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18And it is a peach.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21In poor condition, I have to say, with Sellotape across her neck,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24but you get the general idea.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29All this is, is a thickish sheet of cardboard that's been
0:24:29 > 0:24:32stiffened up the back with the addition of a coat hanger
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and a little baton and, hey presto,
0:24:34 > 0:24:38you have got yourself a very attractive novelty.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Now, we know where it came from, because it says on the bottom,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46"Modelo Garment Hanger Co, 1132 Broadway."
0:24:46 > 0:24:48And then it says, "Patent applied for."
0:24:48 > 0:24:51And I guess the patent wasn't applied for or,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54if they did, nobody took up the patent because I've never seen
0:24:54 > 0:25:00anything quite like this, from that period, available on the market.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02So, I guess it's a rare survivor.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06And, actually, you come to some of these larger fairs to get
0:25:06 > 0:25:09inspiration as to what to do in the future.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14And my inspiration would be to take this to a modern high street
0:25:14 > 0:25:20retailer, a firm that has thousands of shops across Britain,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22and persuade them that the next way forward,
0:25:22 > 0:25:27for them to display their garments, negligee, blouse,
0:25:27 > 0:25:29little jacket, two-piece number,
0:25:29 > 0:25:34anything you like that would suspend from a hanger of this type,
0:25:34 > 0:25:39and simply come up with a series of images. Supermodels, perhaps?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Just imagine having Kate Moss coming out of your shirt.
0:25:43 > 0:25:44For inspiration,
0:25:44 > 0:25:49for a little bit of surviving memorabilia from the 1920s, how much?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53With a broken neck, it could be yours for a £10 note.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56And that's nothing to get hung up on, is it?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Well, what fun is this?
0:26:08 > 0:26:13We've trotted from Sussex to Chiswick High Road, in fact,
0:26:13 > 0:26:14to High Road Auctions.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- To be with Ross Mercer, hello, Ross. - Hi, Tim.- Great to be back.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Now, the studio glass vase looks to me
0:26:21 > 0:26:26as if it might be as late as 2002. How do you feel about it?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- I see it at about the late 1990s. - Do you?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31We're going to split a hair here.
0:26:31 > 0:26:3512 years in it, but it certainly isn't studio in terms of it
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- being '20s or '30s or anything like that, is it?- It's not, no.- No.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43- Is it £20 worth?- We've said £30 to £50.- OK, well, that's great.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Now, for a piece of jewellery that doubles as a dog collar
0:26:46 > 0:26:48if you don't want to wear it yourself.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50That's right, it's quite heavy-duty
0:26:50 > 0:26:53but it does represent quite nice quality costume jewellery.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Exactly, how much? - We've said £20 to £40.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59OK, £30 paid, so our team here are paying the right money.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01I'm impressed.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Now, the last item is the box plane which I think is rather
0:27:05 > 0:27:06charming, don't you?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Yes, a really nice thing but it's stamped by the maker,
0:27:09 > 0:27:13as well as the craftsman, which was very much the case as tools
0:27:13 > 0:27:16were very hard to come by and expensive.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- And, the cutting edge of it is still immaculate.- Mmm.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- What's a thing like that worth then, Ross?- We think £40 to £60.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27OK, £40 paid, so they paid the right price for their three items,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30they deserve to do jolly well and not need their bonus buy,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Now, we all know how good Anita Manning is at finding these
0:27:37 > 0:27:38bonus buys.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41And we did give her £210 of leftover lolly
0:27:41 > 0:27:45and she loves to blow the lot, if she can.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46So, Anita, show us what you bought.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54- You found the diamond!- Diamonds can often be a girl's best friend.- Wow.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- I'm amazed.- And what is more elegant...- Absolutely.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02..than a single diamond?
0:28:02 > 0:28:06And this is a beautiful brooch, it's in a white metal.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Now, I looked very, very carefully and the hallmark was rubbed
0:28:11 > 0:28:16so I couldn't get much information there.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18The diamond, it's not a tiny little thing
0:28:18 > 0:28:22and I couldn't afford a solitaire, a carat solitaire,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25- it's maybe about 30 points so it's a reasonable size.- OK.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- But it is an intriguing little brooch, it's inscribed "1914". - Right.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35- Which might be a significant... - A significant year.- ..number.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39But, I'm going to hand it over to you and I'm going to ask you
0:28:39 > 0:28:42if you like that type of thing, if you're diamond girls.
0:28:42 > 0:28:48I certainly am. Oh, it's beautiful, well found, Anita. That is lovely.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54- How much did you spend?- I paid £175 for it so it's a big chunk of money.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55It is a big chunk of money
0:28:55 > 0:28:58but it is something very beautiful for that money.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59- Exactly.- It's lovely, isn't it?
0:28:59 > 0:29:04- Yeah, I would definitely spend 175 on this.- Absolutely.- OK, girls.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Well, everybody is in love with that, thank you very much.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11Let's, for the audience at home, find out how much the auctioneer's in love with it.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14OK, Ross, something to excite you.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15And it does.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Lovely quality, early 20th century, there is
0:29:19 > 0:29:21a very faint inscription on the back,
0:29:21 > 0:29:26all of which you can read is "1914", which is a little bit of a shame
0:29:26 > 0:29:28because it could have given us an idea to it's history.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Exactly. Presented to the sweetheart before going off to the trenches.
0:29:32 > 0:29:33So how much for it, do you think?
0:29:33 > 0:29:34We've said £150 to £250,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37so a couple of hundred pounds on a good day, perhaps.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Lovely, well, that's what we like to hear because Anita paid £175,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43which is the right price.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Now, moving on, we go to the Blues.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49We go first with the garnet pendant, which is
0:29:49 > 0:29:51quite an elaborate thing, isn't it?
0:29:51 > 0:29:54It is, I think the team have done very well, here.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- I suppose a Victorian style, loosely. But lovely quality.- Yeah.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01If you're brave, what's your estimate?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Well, we've said £150 to £250.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06TIM WHISTLES
0:30:06 > 0:30:09£55 is all that Christina paid for that.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- She's done very well indeed.- She really has got the eye for this jewellery.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18Next up is the quintessential piece of Edwardian gentleman's kit,
0:30:18 > 0:30:20a matchbox case.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23That's right, our local gentlemen from Chiswick will want
0:30:23 > 0:30:24that on their desk.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- Perhaps in the office. - In the cigar smoking room.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- What a good idea.- That's the kind of...bit of kit now, isn't it?
0:30:32 > 0:30:33Yes, I like that.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And it's a chunky one, it's made by a good maker
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- and all the rest of it so, how much? - £50 to £80.- Good-o.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43£35 paid, so that's another good purchase.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47And, lastly, we've got the Moorcroft lamp.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Slightly off the boil, I find, modern Moorcroft is at auction
0:30:50 > 0:30:52but, you know.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It is, yes, it's a nice columbine pattern
0:30:54 > 0:31:00- but not an early piece for them. - How much for the lamp?- £50 to £80.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05OK, £98 paid, so if they've made an error it's going to be in that lamp.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Still, it may just wipe its face, you never know.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12In which case, they won't need their bonus buy but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:31:12 > 0:31:13OK, girls, this is exciting.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19- £112 went to CT, what did you spend it on, Christina?- Are you ready?
0:31:19 > 0:31:20- Yeah.- Yes.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Oh.- There you go. - What do you think?- Stunned silence.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26I wasn't expecting that.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Right, I'll tell you what it is, we've got a little
0:31:28 > 0:31:32diamond down here, which is about .33 of a carat.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35If we think of a carat being 100, it's about a third of a carat, OK?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38It's claw set into this lovely little pendant setting
0:31:38 > 0:31:41and it's got a nice white gold chain which is
0:31:41 > 0:31:45stamped 375 indicating that it's nine-carat white gold. OK?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48It is really quite commercial and it's a good-sized diamond.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- OK, can I have a look? - Yeah, course you can.- Lovely.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52There we go, what do you think?
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Well, I've got something quite similar on.- Oh, there we go!
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- A lady of taste.- So I do like it, I do like it, yes.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01What do you think, Carol?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I don't really know what to say about it, to tell you the truth.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Well, the best thing is to find out how much she spent.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13- How much?- Cost me £50.- No? Really? - You think that's a good price?
0:32:13 > 0:32:18Come on, it's a third of a carat. If that's in the diamond weight...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20No such thing as a cheap diamond, though.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23It is not the best quality diamond, the clarity is not great.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24I feel it's dull.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26But, however, it's still a diamond pendant
0:32:26 > 0:32:29and I think it will make you...
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I would hope, if that came into me, at auction,
0:32:32 > 0:32:35I would not hesitate to put £100 to £150 on it.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37We might be split in the middle for that, though.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Well, you could be, I'll give you a minute or two to make your mind up.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- I'm very generous with my time, here.- Maybe this decision is yours.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Well, a bit later on. Don't peak early, Carol,
0:32:47 > 0:32:49after the sale of your first three items.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Right now, though, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:32:53 > 0:32:55thinks about Christina's little pendant.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Now, look at that. .33 of a carat, we're told.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05That's right, Tim, nicely set, not the cleanest of diamonds,
0:33:05 > 0:33:06I'm afraid.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10However, very often those smaller stones were used as pendants
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- and earrings.- Now, tell me, what's your estimate?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- We've said £200 to £300.- Have you, really?- I have, yeah.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21- Really?- What did it cost them, Tim? - £50.- £50!- £50.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25The big thing is, will the team trust Christina?
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Will they go with the bonus buy or will they simply reject it?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Or will they even need it?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32All big questions, they're about to be answered in the auction
0:33:32 > 0:33:35which you of course, Ross, are conducting.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37If I was on that team, I'd go for the bonus buy.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41No reply to 40. Last chance for £40.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46OK, Chris and Jenny, this is exciting. You nervous at all?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Yeah, Jenny is, but I'm not too bad.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51You're not too bad, you're not, kind of, quivering or anything like that?
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- No, no, no.- So, why are you nervous, Jens?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I just really hope the plane makes money because it's my favourite one.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Well, we can guarantee nothing, of course, in this game but
0:34:00 > 0:34:05if there's any justice that plane should shave you a small profit.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- Let's hope so.- Let's hope so. Very good, well sharpen up
0:34:08 > 0:34:11because here comes the Baluster vase with the brown drizzle.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15The rather nice mid-20th century studio glass vase.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17There we are, nice trailing decoration.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20How do you value, it ought to be £10, surely?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22£10 bid, they all want it. At £10 at 10, 15.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- I've never seen so many hands go out.- They're fighting furiously.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31- And 5, one more, 25, 30.- Look at that, 30!
0:34:31 > 0:34:36- What do I know about glass? - 35, 40.- £40.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40All done, selling now at 40...at £40.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- Sold it for £40, you doubled your money.- Good.- Manning rules, OK? Plus 20.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Lot 97, another special lot, this one.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53The white metal pendant and chain. £10, surely? Come along, 10 bid. 15.
0:34:53 > 0:34:5920, now. 5. 25, I have. 30, now. At £25 now on my left...
0:34:59 > 0:35:06- Come on, one more.- One more.- £30 now...at £30, it's got to go.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07- Sold at £30.- Washed its face.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Thank goodness for that, washed its face,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- you've been watching this programme. - Too long, too long.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15That's marvellous. Anyway, that's why you're doing so well.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- I stole your line.- Now, here comes your plane, sweetpea.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Good quality thing. £30, I'm bid on the books, 35 may I say?
0:35:21 > 0:35:28- Puts me out at 35, 40 now.- Yes.- £40. Anyone else coming in now at 40?
0:35:28 > 0:35:34- 45 now, 50 surely?- That's it, good old internet.- Sold.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Plus £5, well that's Mum, nothing to worry about at all, Jenny.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40You are overall plus £25.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46Now, what, pray, are you going to do with your bar brooch?
0:35:46 > 0:35:51- We are definitely going to go for it. - We'll go for it.- It is so pretty.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- So lovely.- But, it's a lot of money. - It is a lot of money.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- It is but I would pay that for it. - It's worth it. We have faith in you.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01OK, we're going with the bonus buy.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06Now you've decided, I can tell you that the auctioneer has estimated £150 to £250 on it.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- Oh, so it's in with a chance.- It is. And, here we go.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Some interest here. Bids start at £100, with me at 100.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16100 I have, looking for 10, sir. 110.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22110, 120, 130, 130 bid, 140, 140 bid, 150 now.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26At £140 still with me at 140, anywhere else at £140,
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- are you coming in?- Come on. - Going to change your mind at 150.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Yes, one more. Come on, we need a few more.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36£150, way at the back of the room at 150...
0:36:36 > 0:36:41£150 means you're minus £25 which means you've got nothing.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- We haven't lost anything either. - You've not won anything!
0:36:47 > 0:36:51But you haven't lost anything. This is ridiculous, isn't it?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- We were robbed.- You was robbed.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56No, seriously, it is bad luck
0:36:56 > 0:37:00because that could have gone any old place, frankly, so bad luck, Anita.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- Now, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13- Nope, not been communicating? - Nope.- Haven't seen them.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Oh, there we are, they do get about.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Now, quickly, let me run through this.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18You've got that pendant, right,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21I cannot believe that you can buy that for £55.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- I mean, it's just ridiculous. He's estimated £150 to £250.- Really?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27- He has.- Oh, really? Wow.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31Then, you've got that fab silver sleeve for the matchbox.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34You paid £35 for that, and then you've got the Moorcroft lamp,
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- not so hot on that, £98, he's put 50 to 80.- Oh, dear.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39But, if the worst comes to the worst,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- you've got the pendant to go for, yep?- Yes.- Yes.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46Or rather, if the best comes to the best you've still got the pendant to go for.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47Might not need it by then, girls.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52First up, then, is the pendant and here it comes.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Next lot, ladies and gentlemen, is Lot 115.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57With some interest with me at £100.
0:37:57 > 0:38:04- Oh, £100!- 130, coming in.- £130!
0:38:04 > 0:38:09130, 140. 140 bid, 150.
0:38:09 > 0:38:16- At £140, anyone else now at 140? Last chance at £140.- £140.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- That's five off 60, I make that £85. - Brilliant.
0:38:21 > 0:38:25The late Victorian silver table top matchbox holder.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Every home should have one, especially at £30, come along.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33£30 bid, 35, 40, 45 to you, at 45.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35They all smoke cigars.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37At £55.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43£55 is plus £20.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45That is plus 105, kids.
0:38:47 > 0:38:48Now, Moorcroft.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Lot of interest.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Be kind, be good.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Start me off, surely, £40.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56And five, 50...
0:38:58 > 0:39:00- Keep going, keep going.- Come on.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05And five, 70, five, £75 left-hand side. 80, now.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07At £80 on the internet, may I say five?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- That's not too bad. - It's no money, is it?- No.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Five.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Oh!
0:39:14 > 0:39:21Bid 90. £90. 95? At £90, on the internet at £90.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23Sold.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27£90 is minus £8. Only £8. It's nothing, is it?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29You're still plus 97.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35Now, what are we going to do about this solitaire pendant job?
0:39:35 > 0:39:39- I can't help you. - No, you can't ask her a sausage.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- We're going to go with it.- Yes. - I can't help you.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46We've had such fun so we're going to go with it.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- You're trusting the girl, aren't you?- We are trusting.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53- It's only fair, really.- Absolutely, she knows what she's talking about.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55I don't know if I can watch this.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59The rather fun white metal set solitaire diamond pendant.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Good looking thing, how do you value it?
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Ought to be £100, come along.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- 80, then. - Come on!
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- £80 bid. - You're already in £30 profit.
0:40:10 > 0:40:16£90. And five, 100, and 10. 110.
0:40:19 > 0:40:20And 40.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22I feel a holiday coming on.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24With you, sir, at £150, 160.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29At £180, in the seating at 180.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33Look at that.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- £190.- Look, he's going on. £190.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- ..by the pillar at 190. All done? - Let's say £200.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41Selling now at £190.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45£190.
0:40:48 > 0:40:49That's so many kisses.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52Save all your kisses for me
0:40:52 > 0:40:55and just don't say a thing to the Reds, all right?
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- No point in ruining their day. - Unhappy faces.- Look miserable.
0:41:03 > 0:41:04We'll try.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Well, well, well, teams.
0:41:13 > 0:41:14This is quite extraordinary,
0:41:14 > 0:41:19how can it be that the same teams shopping in the same place
0:41:19 > 0:41:25and selling in the same auction room can do so differently
0:41:25 > 0:41:27when it comes to the result?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30And I'm afraid that the runners-up today, by a fair old chalk,
0:41:30 > 0:41:35- happen to be the Reds.- Oh.- Oh. - Oh, Reds!
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Actually, all that happened was, you wiped your face, right?
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- We did, yeah.- I mean, you could have made a profit,
0:41:42 > 0:41:44you went with the bonus buy, the bonus buy for a change didn't
0:41:44 > 0:41:48go Anita's way and you finish up by making absolutely nothing.
0:41:48 > 0:41:53- Big, fat zero.- Big, fat zero. I cannot believe it.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55But, anyway, because you made two profits

0:42:14 > 0:42:18Take one of those, Ma. And, Anita, one for your collection.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23There we go, so, you know, it was bad luck, I'd say, because you will
0:42:23 > 0:42:31be amazed that the winners, today, the Blue team, take home £237! Yes!
0:42:32 > 0:42:33Yes!
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Hang on a minute, get your bullet proof wallet out, Missus,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40because that's £237.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46We don't dosh out £237 that often, but I have to say today,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- principally, it was the jewellery had it, didn't they?- Yes.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- So, was it a good experience? - Lovely. Really enjoyed it.
0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Yeah, I'll bet, well you seemed to be enjoying it.- Very, very nice. I mean everybody, very nice.
