0:00:03 > 0:00:08Today we're in Newark for the ultimate game of snakes and ladders
0:00:08 > 0:00:11where things can go up as well as down.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15So let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:38 > 0:00:41The Newark and Nottingham Showground
0:00:41 > 0:00:44plays host to our teams today.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49There are 2,500 stands here which we hope will appeal to them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52But one thing is for certain, they are going to want to make
0:00:52 > 0:00:57a profit, so let's take a squint at how they got on.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01The red team's expert finds she has her work cut out.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03We're going to have to keep our eye on you
0:01:03 > 0:01:05because that's expensive taste.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08That's a little bit rich, OK? Dad, what have you been doing?
0:01:08 > 0:01:14- Whilst the Blues find it hard to agree.- I do quite like it. No. No.
0:01:14 > 0:01:20- I like it.- Do you? I like it. I'm not sure.- It's the same old story.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Yes!
0:01:22 > 0:01:24But who will win the ultimate gamble at auction?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26It's better than Las Vegas, this!
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Well, we're going to keep it in the family today,
0:01:29 > 0:01:34because for the Reds, we have a father and son combo,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Stephen and Chris,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39and for the Blues, we have sisters Sue and Cathy.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- Hello, everyone.- Hi. - Now, Stephen, you're retired,
0:01:41 > 0:01:43but what did you do when you are working?
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I was a psychiatric nurse for 36 years.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48I think you have to be incredibly brave to take on that task
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- and for 36 years, well done, that's all I can say.- Thank you.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54What about your interest in antiques? You're pretty hot on antiques, are you?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- No, Tim.- That's not what it says here.- I'm not hot on antiques.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59I watch your show all the time.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Well, then, you're hot on antiques!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Yes, no, it is fun, though, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06And Chris, what do you do to earn a buck?
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Just started a new job, actually, working in the prison service.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13Completed my initial training a few weeks ago and I've just started the job.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15But how are you going to find it working with your dad
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- today in this field?- He's the one that watches the programme, so...
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- Right. He's the one that thinks... - Deep down, he does think he has the knowledge.- Really?
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- So if we do badly, it's his fault. - Anyway, we're about to find out and good luck. Now, girls.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32- You are huge Las Vegas fans. Is that right, Sue?- It certainly is.
0:02:32 > 0:02:37- We've been 22 times so far. - 22 times?- Yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40It's just the perfect place for the pair of us.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I'm a gambler, and Cathy is the sun worshipper and the shopper.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47So tell us about your gambling, then. Are you a high roller?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Oh, no. I'm a penny slots person. I like to get value for my money.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53And what about your interest in antiques, Sue?
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I like to scour car-boot sales and try to find little bargains.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I think you're a bit of a secret expert, aren't you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- No, no, no, not at all.- No, she says.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Now, Cathy. Tell us about your career?
0:03:05 > 0:03:10A friend of mine said, "Would you like to go to work for the council for a couple of weeks?"
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- I'm still there 16 years later. - And what do you do with the council?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- I'm an income recovery officer. - What's that mean? Debt collector?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- Yeah.- Is it? I guess you have to be quite tough, actually,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- in that job, don't you?- You do. - Are you going to be tough with us today on Bargain Hunt,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- do you reckon?- I'll be tough with them.- You're going to be tough with them! Oh, look out, boys!
0:03:29 > 0:03:34We've got some trouble here. Now, the £300 moment. Here we go, teams.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37There you go, £300 apiece. You know the rules.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41Your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:03:41 > 0:03:4422 times to Las Vegas, eh? Oh-hoo!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Now let's meet our experts.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Hoping to squeeze out a bargain for the Reds today is Natasha Raskin.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56And keeping the Blues on track is Paul Laidlaw.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- You're the gambler and you're the shopper.- Yes.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Which makes you the perfect Bargain Hunt team. What are we buying?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14- Decorative.- OK.- Art Deco.- Unusual. - I'm loving everything you're saying.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- But we're on a mission to buy it. Come on.- I love a bargain. - Oh, I love it!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Now, what are we going to do today, have you got tactics?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Well, I thought about cheap and cheerful.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I thought about something Art Deco, art nouveauey.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28So you've been doing a lot of thinking.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- A bit of bohemian glass, perhaps. - Oh, my goodness.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Let's not be too specific at this point.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- And what about yourself, young man? - Cheap and shiny.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Cheap and shiny, and cheap but not common. OK. Let's do it.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Let's get cheap, cheap, cheap.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45OK, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47If anything catches your eye, just scream and shout.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We've only got 60 minutes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Let's do this funky thing, eh?
0:04:51 > 0:04:56Well, this is as good a place as any. Are we going for it? Yeah?
0:04:58 > 0:05:02The Blues get stuck in at the very first stall they see.
0:05:02 > 0:05:03I like a rummage.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- What's that? Stand for a lady's fob watch.- Oh.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12You wear it through the day,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15and then at night, beside the bed, away you go.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Sweet. Many would say Black Forest, potentially, in origin.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23A centre for woodcarving and we've got little vine leaves,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27some fruit, a lovely little knuckle hinge there.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- And it's over 100 years old.- Yeah.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- I'll tell you what would make it sexier.- A watch.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34A wee silver watch. It doesn't have to work.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36- Oh, look at that.- It looks the part.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Doing anything for you, or is that just a dull little...
0:05:39 > 0:05:43No, I really like that. It's very unusual. Do you like that?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I do, but you know what I'm like.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47I don't like to buy the first thing I see.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50She is a ditherer, but I'm not.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53That's what I like to hear, Sue.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55And what deal are you doing on it?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58For both the watch and that, 30. That's a giveaway.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Ah, behave yourself!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I picked it up because I thought it was going to be a cheap
0:06:03 > 0:06:06- entry-level purchase!- Hey, I'll tell you, giveaway at 20 quid.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- There you are, right?- If you want it, I'd give the guy 20 quid.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11For £20, I think we can't go wrong with that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Somebody's going to have to put their foot down. I like your style.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Shake the man's hand. - A decision maker.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20It's all about passion, this game. You go for it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- And that's how you make money. - That's it.- It doesn't work for me!
0:06:25 > 0:06:28But that's the theory, I've heard that said.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Fair comment. Well done, Blues.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33That's your first item in the bag in less than five minutes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I like the decisiveness.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- What about the cutlery set? - The cutlery set? Let's have a look.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I mean, certainly, it's likely to be silver-plated.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Meanwhile, the magpie-like Reds are homing in on the shiny stuff.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Oh, known fact, we're talking silver. Lovely.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52So this is a really fine canteen of cutlery.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- It's a really beautiful thing. - How much?- £600.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57£600! That's fine, thank you.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01OK, we're going to have to keep our eye on you because that's expensive taste.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05That's just a little bit rich, OK? Dad, what have you been doing?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- I thought you said cheap and shiny! - I know!- Expensive and shiny!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Right, come on. Let's get moving.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12You were liking Art Nouveau.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15What do you think about this nice fireguard here?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- It's a beautiful thing.- Oh, that's nice.- It is beautiful, isn't it?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I can see from here that it's got a really expensive price tag on it.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's got £250. So I think we need to steer clear.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- But is that the sort of thing you're looking for, that kind of style?- Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Because we can get Art Nouveau brass on a much smaller scale
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- so are we maybe going to focus in on something like that?- Yes.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33Right, OK. So goodbye, fireguard.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36You're gorgeous, but we can't afford you. OK!
0:07:36 > 0:07:41- What are these things?- These little cornucopia? Salt and pepper.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Oh, look. It's you again.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Back to the Blues who are still at their first stall.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Now, they've spotted a pair of silver salt and pepper pots.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Bit of the Scandinavian going on there. Are they Danish? Norwegian?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Do you like?- Yes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Look, what do you think? Well marked.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00Get my goggles out.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Yeah.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Nothing to worry about there.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The minute you start getting a full set of assay marks, I'd say OK,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09they'd add value to somebody. Are there any meat to them?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Are they heavy or are they blow away in the wind?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15They are not particularly heavy. But they're really, really nice.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- So they're like Viking horns, aren't they?- Yes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21And you've got a wee bit of strap work there
0:08:21 > 0:08:24and that very interesting looking dragon or something.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28You see that standing there, with its four legs spread? Nice work.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I do like that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33And, what - second quarter of the 20th century?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- Yeah, I would think so, yeah. - What are they worth?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- 40 to 60 quid under the hammer. - And what are you asking for these?
0:08:38 > 0:08:44I've priced them to sell at 58. But...I'd take 45.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46It's not a country mile off, to be honest with you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- It's not a country mile off.- I'd offer 30 but he wouldn't accept it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- But he'd maybe take 35. - I'd take 40. Listen,
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- this is win, win, win, honestly. - No, no, no, no.- Not 38?
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- Oh, God! 38 would be the very best. - Right. What do you reckon, ladies?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- You're the bosses. - Cathy wants to look around.- OK.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I want to go for them.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12And I don't want to be stuck in the middle of a filial domestic!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Can we keep them in mind?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'll put them by for you while you make up your mind, right?
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- Thank you very much.- Cheers. Thank you very much. See you later.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23With the salt and pepper pots placed on one side,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25the Blues still have to find another two items.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29The Reds however, still need to make their first purchase.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32We definitely still need to buy something, oh, my goodness!
0:09:32 > 0:09:3515 minutes has already passed. Can you believe it?
0:09:36 > 0:09:41- OK, so what have we got? - What's this?- Is this anything?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Well, I mean, the fireguard is quite a fine thing.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Shall we have a closer look? - The colours are quite good on it, aren't they?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49From the front, it's all in very nice order.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51The fireguard itself here is quite nicely done.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53You've got the barley twist supports there
0:09:53 > 0:09:57but the actual tapestry itself, the woolwork tapestry inside,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00it's not as bland as sometimes it can be.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03So when you're looking at the back, you're looking at the supports,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- the stretchers, that's what's going to age it for you.- Yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Here we've got this diagonal join here, that's telling us
0:10:09 > 0:10:12it's 20th century, if they were meeting at a right angle, 19th.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15So mid to quite early 20th century
0:10:15 > 0:10:17but what's usually a killer
0:10:17 > 0:10:19is lots of stains and things on the tapestry itself
0:10:19 > 0:10:22and whilst there's a wee bit of water damage down the bottom,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24I've seen a lot worse.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27I mean, certainly if we could get this for about £20,
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I think we'd be doing all right. What are your thoughts about it?
0:10:30 > 0:10:33- I like the colours. The colours are quite vibrant in it.- And Chris?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35No, I like it, yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37My eye was drawn to it when we were walking past.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- OK, so?- Worth asking about, ain't it?- Shall we ask...
0:10:40 > 0:10:41- Yeah.- ..the lady?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44OK, hi, there. The gentlemen like your wool work fireguard here.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Right.- We see you've got £38 on it
0:10:46 > 0:10:49but they were thinking of negotiating with you a little bit.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- What would be your best price on that?- The best price is 30.- 25?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- OK, go on, for you. - Oh, my goodness, look at that.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Well done, that's the Reds' first buy.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Right, we're off the mark, thank goodness,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05so let's keep up this pace.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Let's go, Natasha.- Let's go for it. - Oh, excellent, excellent.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Now time for a gripe.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17White vans are the bane of my life.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20They drive up behind me when I'm doing pieces to camera like this
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and they thoroughly disturb the equilibrium.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26But it has not put me off being interested in
0:11:26 > 0:11:29bits of automotive history.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Because here we've got a period photograph
0:11:32 > 0:11:37which is of a wee motorcar that dates, I guess, from about 1930
0:11:37 > 0:11:41but it's a special snapshot and it's a special motorcar.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The snapshot's special because it's a black and white photograph
0:11:44 > 0:11:47that's been hand tinted by the developer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51But the interest in the photograph is more about the subject
0:11:51 > 0:11:54which includes, of course, the marque and type of motorcar.
0:11:54 > 0:12:01And I suspect this may be a special bodied Austin Seven Swallowtail.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03That's my guess anyway.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I haven't been able to research it
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and I will be able to refer to the Austin Seven Owners Club
0:12:09 > 0:12:12who'll be able to fill me in chapter and verse.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15How much would it cost you? £10.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20What would the Austin Seven Swallow cost you today?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Probably £7,500.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28And if you owned a period Austin Seven Swallow like that,
0:12:28 > 0:12:31you'll pay a lot more than £10 for the photograph
0:12:31 > 0:12:34which illustrates it from the correct period.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40Now, talking of automotive history, what do you suppose this thing is?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45It's a metal disc that's been embossed with some oddball shapes.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46It's been japanned,
0:12:46 > 0:12:51that is protected by a black outer layer of paint
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and the true purpose of this thing is revealed
0:12:54 > 0:12:56when you hinge it open, like that.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00And it reveals some spare light bulbs,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02the sort of spare light bulbs
0:13:02 > 0:13:06that might've been used in our Austin Seven Swallowtail
0:13:06 > 0:13:11and just look at the size and scale of those six volt light bulbs.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Amazing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Still complete with its original blue felt interior,
0:13:17 > 0:13:23this is a little accessory which is a gem for the owner of period cars
0:13:23 > 0:13:26like our Austin Seven.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28And what would it cost you?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30The princely sum of £30.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32And that's not much, is it?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35If you had an Austin Seven with a dickey light bulb.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Back to the shopping,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41and purchase-wise it's one all to both teams.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44With the Blues now inside, Paul has a proposition.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49I think it's fair to say Sue and I have sort of steam rollered
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- one purchase...- You have.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54..and maybe even a reserved one over you there.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58I think it's your turn, Cathy, are you going to find the next gem?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I am.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Nothing there catches my eye.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- Anything jumping out at you? - No, not particularly.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- I'm not buying for the sake of it.- OK.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- I do quite like it.- And it was you that spotted it, Sue?- Yes, it was.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21- Cath?- No. No, we'll go on. Sorry, I'm hard to please.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Don't be sorry, don't be sorry, don't be daft.- I'm hard to please.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26My word, you're telling me, Cathy!
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Are we thinking about buying this or are we are we just reminiscing?
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- Reminiscing.- You don't have time for reminiscing.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- What's all this about? - Come on, let's go.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Are they doing anything for you?- No. - No? Move on.- Should they?- Come on.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I like them, but I'm not judging you, I'm not judging you.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48We're going to have to get a wriggle on, aren't we?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50We are going to have to get a wriggle on.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54You certainly are, girls, now you're halfway through the shop.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Meanwhile, the Reds are still looking to buy their second item.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Let's see, let's see.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01We need cheap and shiny.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04What's your gut instinct about this table here?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07Worth it if the pewter said Tudric underneath it,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- I think I'd like to keep the lot. - Would you like to have a look?- Yeah.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Let's have a look, OK, see what you see on the base.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Lion pewter, British, so it's very much in the style of
0:15:16 > 0:15:19very early 20th century Arts and Crafts Tudric Pewter.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23It's a pretty thing. You've got teapot, sugar and cream.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25You've got a tray which is handy,
0:15:25 > 0:15:27might not be the original tray, I'm not sure, we'd have to see.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Do you want to grab that? Let's have a wee look, I'll grab this then.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Let's see if it matches on the bottom.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- No, we've got roundhead pewter. - We don't have the same mark.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37So we don't have a matching tray there, it does help
0:15:37 > 0:15:40that there is a tray, but what would be brilliant would be
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- if it all matched and was all equal.- Yeah.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45So let's ask the gentlemen what he'll do the best price on the set.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48So what would be your price for the three-piece?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Just the set on its own without the tray...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57I shall take £12 for the set.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58How much with the tray?
0:15:58 > 0:16:02You're being awkward, aren't you? About £13 with the tray.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04£12.50.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- What do you think?- We don't do 50s.
0:16:06 > 0:16:07LAUGHTER
0:16:07 > 0:16:10What do you think? I mean, you didn't like at all, but...
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I really like it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14And it's not going to make a massive loss, is it?
0:16:14 > 0:16:15I think we should go for it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Yeah, OK.- Oh, my goodness, we're going for it!- Yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Sir, we're going to take it at £13, thank you very much.- Cheers.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- Thank you. - So two items down, one to go.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- £13. - We'll splash the cash this time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- You reckon? Not the way we're going. - Splash the cash!
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Well done, Reds, that's your second purchase.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's not exactly shiny but it certainly seems cheap enough.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Now, how are the Blues getting on looking for purchase number two?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43We've got 19 minutes left...
0:16:43 > 0:16:46And we need to get back there for our salt and pepper, don't we?
0:16:46 > 0:16:49How is the boss feeling about salt and pepper
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- now we've only got 19 minutes left? - Yeah.- Yeah?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55That's as enthusiastic as I've seen you today.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Oh, Cathy, come on, girl. There's no time for dithering.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Meanwhile, the Reds continue their hunt for cheap and shiny.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09So we've got a nice early sugar sifter here, but what's the price?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- Yeah.- It's £140.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Tell you what, it's a gorgeous thing and you know, sugar sifters,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18do they get used now? No. But do they still sell very well? Yes.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21What do you think of this one? You were quite decided about the other.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24It's not really sticking to our idea of cheap and...is it really?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26- It's not, is it?- It's not, no.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- OK, thank you kindly, but we'll put it back.- Thank you.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- You're card players, aren't you? - Yes, we are.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33That do anything for you?
0:17:33 > 0:17:37An envelope card table. So, when we're not playing cards,
0:17:37 > 0:17:43it all closes up, turns 45 degrees and you have a little table.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- It's as you see it, it's OK, it's passable, it's OK?- I like it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Do you?- Yeah.- We've been here before, I think.- I know.- Yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53"I like it." "I'm not sure."
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- It's the same old story. - Thanks again.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00It certainly is, Cathy. Will they ever find anything she likes?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03But looking for their last item,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06here's our friendly stall holder again.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Good afternoon. - They've been here!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Oh, no, right, OK, have we lost all the bargains already?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Both been here, yeah, you missed a bargain.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Oh, right, OK, so our rivals have been here. Oh, dear!
0:18:17 > 0:18:20OK, what do you think of that? So Arts and Crafts.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I do quite like it actually.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Yeah, I quite like the fact that it's set with a little gem there,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27that's quite nice, little glass setting. Let's see inside.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29It would be obviously much more plush
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- if we had a fancy velvet lining or something like that.- Yeah, sure.
0:18:32 > 0:18:33But it's Arts and Crafts
0:18:33 > 0:18:36and that's what it is, it has a crafty feel, it's handmade,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40got the foliate design in the middle, flanked by the brass
0:18:40 > 0:18:43which is a real, real beautiful medium that is often used
0:18:43 > 0:18:45in the Arts and Crafts period.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You've got this lovely sort of sea lion,
0:18:48 > 0:18:52kind of grotesque appeal here as well, so it's got age to it,
0:18:52 > 0:18:55it's definitely worth thinking about, but we don't know the price.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I can do that for a lowly £70.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02A lowly £70, OK. It's a pretty thing.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04But I have a feeling that the auction estimate's going to be
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- something like 40 to 60.- Yeah. - It may be 60 to 80.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- What are you thinking?- I think it's too much.- You think it's too rich?
0:19:10 > 0:19:11And that's your very best price?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14No, it's obviously come and go! It's always come and go.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17You suggest to me, then we'll see if we can meet somewhere.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18What about 45?
0:19:18 > 0:19:2055 and we'll shake on it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- What do you think?- What about 50?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24What do you think?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I was going to leave this one up to you, it's not really a style
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- I like that much, to be honest. - I like it.- You like it?- Yeah.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Well, if you really like it, then go for it.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- I think we'll go for it.- Cheers. Thank you very much...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Well done, Reds, that's your shopping completed,
0:19:38 > 0:19:41but even now the Blues have only bought one item.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44With five minutes left, you need to get your skates on.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48We've got to find this guy with the silver, wherever he is,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and in an ideal world buy something else off him, OK?
0:19:51 > 0:19:52- Yeah.- Let's go.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We're back!
0:19:54 > 0:19:56So, aside from the salt and pepper pots,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59is there something else to be found from this stall
0:19:59 > 0:20:00that Cathy actually likes?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Sugar shakers.- Yes, a little caster. Again, it'll be a late production.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- Not a pair, though?- No, no. But I prefer the one behind.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- You see the feet on the one behind?- Yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Tell us why you like that, Cath.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15It's classy and I like classy things.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I'm not arguing with that. They were introduced during the 18th century.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24This is going to date until 1910, 1920. Have we got a date on it?
0:20:24 > 0:20:28We don't know. We've got a proud set of marks there. I see that.
0:20:28 > 0:20:33London, registered design number. It's all there.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37A little bit of a ding there. OK. But, for me, it's about the feet.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Stylised ivy leaf feet, crying out influence of the Arts and Crafts.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- What do we think?- Don't say you've gone off it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- If you've gone off it, I'm going off that way.- I do like it.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Do you like it any more if I say we've got three minutes?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Yes, I love it. THEY LAUGH
0:20:54 > 0:20:56What can that be? What's the price on that?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- We do that for 95.- What!? It's priced at 75.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04- Is it? That is not. Show me. - Show the man.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05- So it is.- I like you.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- I'll do it for 65.- Have we reached the bottom there?
0:21:10 > 0:21:16- You've three minutes left.- I think he's got us. A real lever here.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Would you do the two for 120?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23OK, you've got yourself a real good bargain.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25HE LAUGHS
0:21:25 > 0:21:26So, well done, Blues.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Two items bought together completes the shop.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Are you happy? - I'm ecstatic.- Yay! Well done.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Forking out £65 for the sugar shaker means
0:21:36 > 0:21:39the salt and pepper pots come in at £35, so...
0:21:39 > 0:21:42That's it, 60 minutes are up.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Let's check out what the Red team bought. Oh, look, two stalkers.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50A well-guarded £25 went into this late-Victorian
0:21:50 > 0:21:52to early-Edwardian fire screen.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57They poured £13 into this 20th-century Lion Pewter tea service.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03And finally, the Arts and Crafts lidded box cost them £50.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Well, chaps. Was that fab or was it fab?- Good fun.- Very nice.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- You spent a pathetic amount of money. How much?- £88.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12£88. That's terrible.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I'd like £212, please.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Thank you very much. That is a bundle of money.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Which is your favourite piece? - I quite like the pewter tea set.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- What about you, Dad? - The Arts and Crafts box.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27And what's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Probably the fire screen we bought.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- Do you agree with that. - I like the pewter tea set.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33We have a split decision, father and son split decision.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Over to the great conciliator.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Here she comes, all that money. - Thank you.- Lovely for you.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41We're all gagging to know what you're going to go off and buy.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Have you got any idea? - Not a blinking clue. Not a clue.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48That is the honest answer. You will go far, my child.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Look after yourselves, kids.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56A Black Forest carved watch case
0:22:56 > 0:23:00and lady's white metal fob watch came in at £20.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01A well-seasoned £35 went into
0:23:01 > 0:23:04a pair of sterling silver salt and pepper pots.
0:23:05 > 0:23:11And finally, they sprinkled £65 on an Edwardian silver sugar caster.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Well, girls. Was that good?- Yes. - Excellent.- Excellent. Oh, good.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- What was the best bit for you, Sue? - The little salt and pepper pot.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- That was my favourite bit. - What does the sister say?
0:23:24 > 0:23:29I found the silver sugar shaker, which is very difficult to say.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33And is the silver sugar shaker going to make the most profit?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- I think the salt and pepper pot might.- Do you?- I do.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39OK. Anyway, you had a lovely time with Paul. How much did you spend?
0:23:39 > 0:23:45- 120.- 120. I'd like £180 of left-over lolly, please. £180.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- You don't like doing this at all, do you?- No.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52This is the trouble with being an enforcement officer.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Anyway. £180 goes straight across to the man.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57What's your motivation now then?
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I want to find something that makes you smile.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Smiling is what it's all about, Paul, and thank you very much.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15And still wearing a smile, it's time for me to head off to the auction.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Well, Charles. This is a treat...
0:24:20 > 0:24:24to be in Derbyshire at Charles Hanson's sale room.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Just outside Derby.- Welcome to Middle England.- Thank you.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29Moving to the teams' items.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32The Reds have got this absolutely hideous fire screen.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Tim, I think it's awful.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38At auction, there are some things of yesteryear we really can't sell.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42And that's one of them. And it could have been Great Aunt's tapestry.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Her works, it's taken her years.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- It's been mounted. - She went blind doing it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49If only the family kept it, because its value is more sentimental.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52You're going to put an estimate on it and you don't want to say £5-£10.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- What do you say?- The barley surmounts are quite nice. It's well framed.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- It's in good condition, thankfully. Between £30 and £40.- OK, £25 paid.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Good.- So they'll just about get away with it.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Moving on, more positively, to the pewter planished tea set.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It has such a modern feel about it.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12It's the Art and Crafts, almost in that Liberty Tudric style.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And Tim, the tray as well just gives it a good send-off.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19It is, again, in that wonderful wibbly-wobbly Arts and Crafts style.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21In a wibbly-wobbly way, how much?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- Our guide price between £30 and £40.- OK, £13 paid.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- Bargain.- That does knock the spots off, doesn't it? £13.- Yes.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32And continuing with even more of an Arts and Crafts feel,
0:25:32 > 0:25:35because this really is a one-off object, isn't it?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39You're right. And what I like about it is it's almost full of charm
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- because you've got these almost dragons or...- Sea horses.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43..sea horses, Tim, exactly.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47And it just captures the essence, probably, of handicraft.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Is it worth £100, do you think?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52It's a bit dirty, but there's no holes appearing
0:25:52 > 0:25:56in the thin gauge of metal, so we put a guide price of between 80 and 120.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Fair enough, £50 paid.- Good.- So they should turn a decent profit on that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Hope so, Tim.- Overall, I think they'll be OK, and in case not,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04let's have a look at the bonus buy.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07OK, well, you cheapskates.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10£88, you two.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14So, with £212 in her handbag, what did you purchase?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18I purchased, for father and son, why not display your family's
0:26:18 > 0:26:22special occasion photos in a lovely photo frame? What do you think?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26It's hand-planished copper. It's early 20th century.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30It's Arts and Crafts style. I think the roses are gorgeous.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I love the ovular surround. Just the whole thing feels organic.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Feels like a genuine article that someone took time
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- and a bit of love over. - Could be shed work.- Shed work.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- You've taken the words out of my mouth.- It could be shed work.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- And how much did you pay for it? - Oh, well,
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- I paid £50. - HE INHALES
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I know, look at your face, because you in total only spent
0:26:51 > 0:26:54about 80 quid or something on three things.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56I thought, "Let's blow a little bit of money."
0:26:56 > 0:27:00And I'd be devastated if it didn't fare well at around £40, £50, £60.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04Just tell me, Stephen, where did you get this term "shed work" from?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I heard it on the programme.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Actually, it's not an art term at all. It's something I dreamt up.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13So, I'm incredibly proud that today on the programme,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16eight years after I first mentioned "shed work",
0:27:16 > 0:27:20which is now universally accepted as a descriptive form for
0:27:20 > 0:27:23anything that could be handcrafted in a small outbuilding,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- has now been adopted by you. - It could be in the dictionary.
0:27:26 > 0:27:31- It could be in the dictionary soon. Anyway, everybody happy?- Yes.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Perfect. Let's find out right now, for the audience at home,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37whether the auctioneer is happy.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- OK, Carlos. Everybody likes a photo frame.- Yes. Isn't it heavy?
0:27:41 > 0:27:44It's so heavy you just tend to suspect,
0:27:44 > 0:27:49- has it been made up from old metal. - You are so right, Charles.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51And the way it's so crudely hammered.
0:27:51 > 0:27:57Hammering in an industrial scale is like that. Lots of regular dimples.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01This is hammered by some maniac who's gone completely bonkers.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04So, perhaps a man who's about to be
0:28:04 > 0:28:07engaged in his shed at the bottom of the garden has had a go.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Absolutely, Tim. It's just a one-off, perhaps.- How much?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Tim, it's something which I think on a really good day
0:28:13 > 0:28:16with a decorative art buyer, inspired, could make 80.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20On a bad day, I really feel it could make as little as £20.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- So 20 to 80 then? - Tim, it's a wide guide.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24We like to have a wide guide
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- because auctions are a roller coaster.- They certainly are.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30It could be a roller coaster with this. Between 20 and 80,
0:28:30 > 0:28:31because Natasha paid 50.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Right.- Anyway, with any luck the team won't go with it
0:28:34 > 0:28:37and they'll pass. But you never know.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Now, for the Blues we've got something which is a little
0:28:39 > 0:28:44more contained. You've got the fob watch that sits in a wooden case.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Do you like that?- I do, Tim.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50I love the case, that lovely soft wood. Beautifully, beautifully made.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It's a lovely twosome,
0:28:52 > 0:28:57which on a bedside table captures that age of circa 1900.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59And what does a twosome like that bring in Derbyshire these days?
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Tim, we've been really quite mean and I think it's worth a bit more.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- But we've put a guide price on it between £30 and £40. - Matters not a scrap.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10They only paid the 20. Now, these Norwegian condiments.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- They're fun, aren't they? - They are, Tim.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15There's a real amalgam of styles.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17You've got a bit of Celtic influence.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21You've got these peculiar front supports, but I think they are very good.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Hopefully, at auction they'll sell well. We put a guide price on it
0:29:24 > 0:29:26between £30 and £40. We are being mean. They've got legs.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29£35 is what Sue and Cathy paid, so I think you're spot on.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- They've got legs.- Talking about legs, what do you think about the legs on this?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Aren't they great? - Those legs are to die for.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36You look at those legs,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40and they capture the romance of that great period, the Art Nouveau.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41They could be liberty legs.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44OK, lovely. We like it. How much do you like it?
0:29:44 > 0:29:48I hope, Tim, it will make probably between 40 and 60,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- but it could make more. - £65 is what they paid.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53I have a feeling you need to persuade two or three people to fall in love with it.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56- We will.- Which you're incredibly good at doing.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59But in case you fail, why don't we check out what the bonus buy is?
0:29:59 > 0:30:03£120 you spent on your shopping. You gave Paul Laidlaw 180.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- Paul, what did you buy? - What do you think of this?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- A treasure chest, we hope. - I like it.- I like that you like.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Have a look at it. See what you think.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- It's pretty, isn't it? - It exudes quality.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19And how much did you pay for it?
0:30:19 > 0:30:22There's no messing about with you, is there? Holy Moses!
0:30:22 > 0:30:24It cost me £80.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28That's a gift at £80. Karelian birch, an exotic veneer.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Lovely elaborate strap work.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Opening to reveal a delicious fitted interior.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38For one's desk, and back in 1870 this was not cheap.
0:30:38 > 0:30:44- Is that inside the original?- Yes. - And what do you think it will make?
0:30:44 > 0:30:48If it doesn't do 80 to 120, there is no justice in the world.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- I like it.- I like it a lot.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Let's find out, for the viewers at home, whether the auctioneer agrees.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Well, there you go, Charles.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Something for you to get your teeth into.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Tim, it's a very peculiar timber. - Ripply.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07You almost wonder has it been painted on, but it hasn't, has it?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11No. It's called Karelian birch and it comes from Russia.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15It's wonderful, Tim, and it has a really nice warm feel to it
0:31:15 > 0:31:17and the interior, there we are, well fitted out.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21Lovely colour and it's a lovely domed stationery box.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24If it gets picked up, it could make quite a good price, couldn't it?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- It looks at me and says, "I'm worth about £140."- Exactly.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31But I've been very realistic to hopefully gain momentum
0:31:31 > 0:31:35in the sale room and I put a guide price on of between £80 and £100.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Anything over 80 is a profit, but it is what they call a good looker,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- isn't it?- Like you, Tim. - HE LAUGHS
0:31:41 > 0:31:43£440, fair warning...
0:31:43 > 0:31:47At 440, yes, we are. All out.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Now, you only spent £88 and you bought the fire screen
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- which I've been very rude about. - Oh, you have not.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58I have! Anyway, Charles has put £30-£40 on it
0:31:58 > 0:32:04but I can't really believe how or why he's put £30-£40 on it, but he has.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Anyway, I'm pretty sniffy about that. But I could be proven wrong.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10First up is the fire screen from...
0:32:10 > 0:32:14The fire screen from heaven! And here it comes.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18There we are. Edwardian, maybe late- Victorian oak-framed fire screen.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- It's in good condition. And I'm only bid here £10.- Oh!
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- Well that's a relief. - Bid me 12, come on, let's go.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27At ten, 12, 15, 18,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30I'm out. I'm asking 20 now.
0:32:30 > 0:32:3318, bid me 20, 20 and two?
0:32:33 > 0:32:3522, five, eight...
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Oh, I didn't even notice we were there already. Oh, my God!
0:32:38 > 0:32:4230. It could be yours! It could be yours! No?
0:32:42 > 0:32:48All done, I sell to you, so I'm asking 30 now, or I sell at £28.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52£28. Plus £3.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56OK, now, moving on is the Lion pewter. Here it comes.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00Almost Tudric-inspired Liberty-but-not,
0:33:00 > 0:33:05three-piece pewter tea set on a wavy tray. And I'm only bid here £10.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10I'm asking 12 now. I'm asking now 12, 15, 18. I'm out.
0:33:10 > 0:33:15Bid me 20, and it really is striking. £18 I'm bid.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Bid me 20, madam. All out over there.- Very cheap.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- £18 is very cheap.- All done.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28£18 is plus £5, which means you're plus £8.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32You only spent £88. And you just made 10% on your money, so far.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Now, here comes this box. This is your banker.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40An Arts and Crafts lidded box. Circa 1890. A really attractive box.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42£28 is my bid.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44It seems cheap.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48I'm asking 30. 28. 30, lady in red.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50The net's going wild.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- 32, 35, 38...- Oh, the net's going wild, it's going wild.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Online, do I see five? Come on, Internet!
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Or, in the room, give me five?
0:33:57 > 0:33:5940, I'm bid.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Lady in red.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0540, I'll take five, now. One more. Fair warning. You're out online.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Lady in red... 45.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11That's just in, just in.
0:34:11 > 0:34:1445, I'm bid. I'm asking 50 now.
0:34:14 > 0:34:20- All out, sold to the lady in the stripes at £45, £50 online!- Oh! Ooh!
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Yes!- Ha-ha!
0:34:22 > 0:34:27- 52 today, it's yours. Do I hear five online now?- Yes.
0:34:27 > 0:34:34I'm asking five. Going, going, gone, all out at 52... Five!
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Oh, no! What's going on?!
0:34:37 > 0:34:39I sell online, just in time.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43At 55 to an online live bidder.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Fair warning, all done.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- It's sold.- Yes!- It's plus £5.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54That is overall, lads, plus 13. How good is that?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56That is £13 up.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59That's a profit on each item. Well done, everybody.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04Now, we've got the photo frame now. You've got £13 in your back pocket.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08Are you going to risk it on that bulletproof photo frame?
0:35:08 > 0:35:13- Well, we've spoken about it and we've decided, certainly not!- Really?!
0:35:13 > 0:35:14LAUGHTER
0:35:14 > 0:35:17But, Chris, you were so keen on that, mate!
0:35:17 > 0:35:18Erm, yeah!
0:35:18 > 0:35:20OK, we're not going with the bonus buy.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, we are going to sell it and find out what it's worth,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25and here it comes.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Photo frame, on your screens at home,
0:35:27 > 0:35:33and I'm bid here, straight in, 10, 12, 15, 18, £20.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- OK!- And rising!
0:35:35 > 0:35:41I'm asking two now, it's heavy and it's nice. Lots of hands, here.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Two, five, eight, 30, five, 40, 45.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I've booked you, sir.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53I'm asking 40 online now. Come in, the world. 40, five...
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- Yes, watch it go! - Internet, click that mouse!
0:36:00 > 0:36:07Bid me 50. No, they say. You're in, sir, in the room, bid me 50.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11One more do I see? Gavel is up. At £45 today.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Aw! You were so right, well done!
0:36:14 > 0:36:18It was the right decision, right?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21But it just shows, though, that was a good pick, guys.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24And just a little nudge, it's another bit of profit in there.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Anyway, there we are. Plus £13, profit on each item.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30That's good. That could be a winning score.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35Don't say a word to the blues and all will be revealed in a moment. Thank you very much.
0:36:42 > 0:36:48- Now, Sue, Cathy, how are you, girls? - Excited.- Excited, yes.- Are you?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- First auction. - First auction, for both of us.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54You've never been to an auction before? Two virgins! Wow!
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- What have you been doing all your lives?- Holidaying.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Holidays! Anyway, you bought the fob watch.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03In a Black Forest case, absolutely.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05You paid £20 for that. Anyway, here we go, then.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07First up is your watch in its box.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10214, the lovely ladies' white metal fob watch.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13It's delightful, because it comes in its small,
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Bavarian, Black Forest wooden box.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19And I'm bid for lot 214, straight in at £10.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25Bid me 12. 12 I'm out. I'm asking 14 now, it's cheap.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Oh, no, what's happened?
0:37:28 > 0:37:3214, 16, 18, 20, go bid, two?
0:37:32 > 0:37:3422, 25 online.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Yes or no?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41We are hanging fire, 30 online, 35!
0:37:41 > 0:37:45Online, 40? 40, I'll take online now.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48You're out. You're all out.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50We're live in the aisle at 35...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52Better than Las Vegas, this!
0:37:52 > 0:37:54All done, it's over, for you, ma'am.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58Plus £15. That's fair enough.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Now, here comes the Norwegian jobbies.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02These are really interesting.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05A very good pair of Norwegian sterling silver
0:38:05 > 0:38:07salt and pepper pots. They're very good.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10And I'm only bid here £18, 20 and two, five and eight,
0:38:10 > 0:38:14and 30, two, five, eight, 40, five.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I'm out. 45. Do I hear 50?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Five, 60.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21No? Five I'm bid. I'm asking now 60.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26Five I'm bid, they're wonderful things, asking 60 or I'll sell.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30All done. 60. Five. Are you sure, sir?
0:38:31 > 0:38:38All out, we're live on the Net and we sell, all done, at £60.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42£60 is plus £25, you can't complain about that. 25 and 15 is 40.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47Two out of two, two out of two.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Now, is this going to make more than £65, girls?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54To give you a profit on each item.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56That's what we'd like.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59London 1908, there it is, it's lovely.
0:38:59 > 0:39:06And I'm bid here, straight in at 35, 45, 55, 65...
0:39:07 > 0:39:10You're in the money.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12Five I'm bid, 70, five...
0:39:13 > 0:39:16You're out, well done, kids. You're in profit.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21- We're live in the saleroom, I'm asking 80. Five.- And he's going on.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24Bid me a five, one more. Or I sell on the... 85 online.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28We've got two competing buyers now. 85, new bidder.
0:39:29 > 0:39:35Online, we sell, make no mistake, we are going, going, gone at £85.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Fair warning. It's sold.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Plus £20, look at that!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Plus 40 plus 20 is plus 60!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Hey, how about that?
0:39:43 > 0:39:47I would give up going to Las Vegas and take up the auction game
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- if I were you.- We'd have to have Paul with us.- He doesn't care!
0:39:52 > 0:39:54He'll go anywhere where there's a profit.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57And let's find out whether he's right on the last one, eh?
0:39:57 > 0:40:01Are you going to go with his £80 box? Now, you don't have to.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04You can park your winnings and walk away.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06It's like the slot machine.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Or you can have another twist. What are you going to do?
0:40:09 > 0:40:12- Are we sticking or twisting?- Twist?
0:40:12 > 0:40:14Yeah, OK, we're going to twist.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Are you? Are you? OK, fine. We've done it,
0:40:17 > 0:40:19we're going with the Bonus Buy.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Now we're going to sell it and here it comes.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25A wonderful, mid-Victorian Karelian birch-veneered
0:40:25 > 0:40:27domed-top stationery box.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32There we are. I'm only bid 45, £50, a great box.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Bid me five, I've got 60, bid me five. And I've seen 70.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3870 online, five.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Online, 80. The net's going wild, 85.
0:40:42 > 0:40:4485, give me 90.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46I want to see over 100.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49It'll make over 100, come on. Go on!
0:40:49 > 0:40:54Great box. 90, I'm bid! I'm asking five now.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- 90 I'm bid, fair warning... - Cheap enough at 90, Paul.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- But it's a profit. - Fair warning, all done.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05- Sold.- Plus £10. I'm loving it. - Look at that. Clean sweep!
0:41:05 > 0:41:11Profit on all three items, profit on Paul's takes you to plus £70, girls.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15- And there you have it. Isn't that something?- Absolutely brilliant.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17Now, listen, this could be a winning score.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Don't say a word to the Reds. I will reveal all in the moment.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33What a jolly show we've had today. All sorts of misbehaviour!
0:41:33 > 0:41:38And there's a lovely synergy between these two pairs of teams today,
0:41:38 > 0:41:41because they're both going home with profit.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46Both teams have made a profit on all three items
0:41:46 > 0:41:51and both teams are entitled to golden gavels!
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Never in the history of man have
0:41:53 > 0:41:59so many golden gavels been given out on one occasion, to so few.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02But which team is ahead? You been chatting at all? No?
0:42:02 > 0:42:04You have no idea.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Well, let's put the pain out of the process and tell you that
0:42:07 > 0:42:12the runners-up today, most glamorously, have been the Reds.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Oh, my goodness gracious!
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- They are going home, though, with £13 worth of profit.- Wow!
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Which is a substantial chunk, isn't it?
0:42:22 > 0:42:27And you're going to get your golden gavels. There you go, look.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- Take a golden gavel.- Thanks you very much.- Son? Dad, take a golden gavel. - Thank you very much.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36Natasha, when you get up to Glasgow, all your mates are going to be
0:42:36 > 0:42:40so envious. Anyway, well done. That is marvellous.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43But the victors today, who are going to go home with £70,
0:42:43 > 0:42:48which you are immediately going to spend next week on your next
0:42:48 > 0:42:51trip to Las Vegas, which is pretty good.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54You've got your £70, you get your golden gavels, too.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Here come the golden gavels. There we go.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Pluck one of those out and pin it on for me. There we go, look.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Lovely to see everybody with a golden gavel.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05In fact, it's been so much fun,
0:43:05 > 0:43:08join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:08 > 0:43:09- ALL:- Yes!
