0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Come fly with me, Let's fly, let's fly away. #
0:00:04 > 0:00:08We're at an antiques and collectors' fair in Edinburgh,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11right next door to the airport, to be precise.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15So, why don't we fasten our safety belts and prepare for takeoff?
0:00:15 > 0:00:18And let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:45 > 0:00:50Here at the Royal Highland Centre, we have over 300 dealers,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52from whom our teams can buy.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56They have one hour and £300 to bag three items,
0:00:56 > 0:01:00so let's have a quick taste as to what's coming up.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05- The Reds resort to desperate measures.- £160?- Go on.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Chase after him.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10And the Blues prove hard to please.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- I don't like that. Sorry. - No, I can tell by your face. No!
0:01:15 > 0:01:18- That's a bit too much, isn't it, Gillian?- Move along.- Move along.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Well, on the show today, we have a team of friends.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28For the Reds, we've got Tommy and David.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And for the Blues, mother and daughter, Gillian and Valerie.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Hello, everyone. Everybody happy? Good!
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Now, Tommy, how do you two know one another?
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Me and Dave went to primary school together back about 15 years ago
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and we lost contact. We then bumped into each other on a night
0:01:43 > 0:01:46out at St Andrews University, where we both went,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49and became flatmates and have been friends ever since.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- That's an extraordinary coincidence. - Yeah, it is.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Was it in a pub, by any chance?- It was!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Funny thing that! Now, you're a great art fan, I hear.- I am.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I did history of art at St Andrews and I work in the art world,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03but my grandfather was a painter,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05so I've always been surrounded by paintings from a young age.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07- Have you got any of his works? - Lots. Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- You're hanging on to them, though.- On the walls, yeah.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Lovely. Now, David, I understand you have a passion for fashion.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15I do indeed, Tim, yes.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20I am a retail manager for a big British fashion company.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21But in my spare time,
0:02:21 > 0:02:26I have got a big appreciation for kind of classical fashion.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Your style is fantastic! I'm a big fan of...
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I believe fashion is all in the detail.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So, tie pins, tie clips, cuff links, all that kind of thing.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39If you look the part, then you can act the part in work.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So, what are your team tactics going to be today?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We've actually talked about this at length.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48We both believe you need to spend money to make money. So I think...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Blow the lot.- Exactly.- Yeah. - Or as much as possible.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54OK, well, you've got some plans. Good luck with those.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Thanks very much.- Thank you. - Now, let's chat up the girls!
0:02:57 > 0:03:02- Gillian.- Hello.- You are a rare breed of girl in that you love your exams.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Well, yes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I basically collate all the questions examiners submit, put papers
0:03:06 > 0:03:10together, edit grammar, for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14So, you're a very particular person. Accuracy is everything in your life.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Sometimes, yes. - Look at your mother's face!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Just look at the mother's face! She's agreeing with that!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Has she always been particular, the daughter?- Um...yes.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25At school, she was very precise.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28She put a lot of pressure on herself in school.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Now, Valerie, it says here that you're retired.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33What did you do in your working years?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I worked as a nursery nurse in the Royal Mile Nursery, which is
0:03:37 > 0:03:40part of a primary school based in the Canongate area.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42And now you do a bit of volunteering.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I do, yes.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I've been doing that now for seven years, Homelink, so it's supporting
0:03:47 > 0:03:51parents, supporting children, and doing activities with them.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Interesting.- Very interesting.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- And absorbing.- Yes.- Good.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Now, before we get over-absorbed, the £300 money moment. Here you go.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01£300. There's your £300.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:04 > 0:04:09And very, very, very good luck! Gosh, what interesting teams today!
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Now, let's meet our experts.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Worldy-wise Jonathan Pratt will be helping out the Reds.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22And our lady in red, Caroline Hawley, will be assisting the Blues.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27What do you want to collect? What do you want to buy?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- We were thinking sterling silver pieces.- Hallmarked silver.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Hallmarked silver.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37- So, what are we looking for? - I quite like sparkle, I have to say.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Don't we all!- Yeah! Pin cushions.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Glasgow, it's modern design, and that's where we're going to
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- be selling. We should look for all sorts of things like that. - Absolutely.- Let's get a move on.
0:04:45 > 0:04:51- And I quite like dogs as well. - Right, OK. So, lots. Well, let's get shopping!
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Right, teams, off you go. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Go down here?- Yes. Why not?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03Off to a flying start, the Reds home in on something slightly batty.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Very interesting. Bats. - Oh, aren't they?- Girandoles.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12- They're rather cool, I like them, actually.- What do you think, Dave?
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- I like them. I think... - They're a bit batty, aren't they?
0:05:16 > 0:05:18They're rather batty!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21180 quid's a lot of money, but decorative always sells.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24If you got this down to 120, you might get 150 for them.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- I'm going to see if I can get the best price off him.- OK.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Hi there, sir. What's your very best price for the two bats?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- I can do... 150 would be the best. - 150's your very best?- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Thanks.- I mean, they're really off, aren't they?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- £150, let's put it down, have a think, come back.- All right.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45OK, have a think, guys. Meanwhile, the shopping continues.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- What is this? What is that?- Now, that... Do you know what that is?
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Your mum's just asked me. - An apothecary box? I don't know.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57- It's a what?- Apothecary... For like...- No, not an apothecary box.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Sewing?- We'll have a look, shall we? - Oh, is it sewing?- It is.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06- It's a sewing box. Silk-lined. - Right.- Victorian.- Yes.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- It's walnut, inlaid with this Tunbridge ware inlay.- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Mother of pearl.- Yeah. - And abalone shell.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- It's beautiful.- It's a lovely thing. And what's the price?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- It looks like it's been... - I've taken it down already.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- So, what is it? - I could go down to 60.- 60.- Yes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I think it's all the money now.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31They used to be quite a bit more money.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- And it's good because the inside's good.- Yes.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37The wood's good, but I think we're going to be pushing it to get
0:06:37 > 0:06:39more than 60, if I'm honest.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Right. Right, OK.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45What do you want to do? Do you want to wander on?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Do you want to maybe go back and put the bats in the bag?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- I think we put the bats in the bag. - Yeah.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Stop hanging around and put the bats in the bag.- Hey, Tommy!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- I do the puns round here! - Come on, then. All right, let's go.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You head back for the bats. But what have the Blues spotted?
0:07:02 > 0:07:07- Ah, you see. Now, that's a nice pin cushion.- This little elephant.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Yeah, the elephant is gorgeous,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12but, and it is a big but, can you see his trunk?
0:07:12 > 0:07:16- Yes.- That, to me, looks like it's been knocked off.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Gillian, you want pin cushions, don't you?- Yeah.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- I'm tempted to say - how much is it? - Yes.- Cos I'm sure it'll be...
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- The price will reflect the damage. - OK.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30But I think it's probably best to stay clear of something with damage.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Would you agree?- I agree.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- He's so cute, though.- He's gorgeous. How much is he, please?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I could do it for 50.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- Right. And what date is it? - It's early 1900s.- Yeah.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- It would be over 100 if it was... - Yes, it would.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46If the trunk was there.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Look, you see the silver marks here.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53It's Birmingham and turn of the 20th century. So 1900-1905.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- That sort of date.- OK.- I think he's lovely, but he needs to be...
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- Perfect.- Well, he either needs to be perfect, or less money.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04OK. Is £50 best price?
0:08:04 > 0:08:0945, but I couldn't do anything... Really, that's giving it away.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I think I'm going to go with it. - I knew she was going to have him.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17I just have a thing about... I just feel he needs a home.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Somebody will give him a home and whether he makes a profit, well...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Well, hopefully.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29Despite the truncated trunk, the Blues make their first purchase,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33but as the Reds approach the bat stall, a surprise awaits.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Oh, no. Someone's... - They've gone.- Have they?
0:08:40 > 0:08:42They're in his hand.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- Kapow! Bam! Pow! Holy smoke, Batman! - Batman's left the Batcave.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- Have you just bought those?- Aye.- How much did you buy them for?- 150 quid.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52All right, thanks very much.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54How much do you like them?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Quick tenner for the man.- 160? - Go on. Chase after him.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Go on, Tommy! After him!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Hello, mate. Sorry to bother you. Would you take 160 for them?
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I quite like them, myself.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06All right, too bad.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- Is that lost?- Yeah, lost.- Oh, man! - Lost. The bats have flown.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12The bats have flown.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Oh! That just goes to show, doesn't it?- Yeah, it does, yeah.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- You have to strike when the iron's hot.- You certainly do, JP.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Sometimes, it happens.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now, back to the Blues. Hopefully, they're having better luck.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Now, this is rosewood. Like the caddy we were looking at.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33This is rosewood, inlaid with mother of pearl and abalone shell.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- It's beautiful.- It's got a little bit of damage here.- Oh! I can see.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Sometimes, fingers tell you more than your eyes.- Yes.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43- And I felt that.- OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46And that would cost an awful lot to have it repaired.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48But look inside.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's for your stationery.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- And do you think all of this inside is the originals to the box?- No.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I wouldn't have thought so.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02No. I mean, some of them...have got silver lids. This one has.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08- Some are plated. So it's a carry-all.- It's still rather nice.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- It's still rather beautiful.- It is. It's gorgeous.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16- Do you want to ask the price? - Excuse me, how much is this box?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- 130.- 130 on it?- Yes.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25130. And is that...? Is that your best price on it?
0:10:25 > 0:10:27110.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32I may come back. And you're going to stick with 110?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34100.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- 100?- Yes.- Down to 100.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37100.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40- Well, that's very kind.- That's very kind of you. Thank you for that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Thank you.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Has that swayed you?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Oh, gosh!- We'll go quickly, move on, and...- We need to know...
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- I think we're running out of time. - We are.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53I don't want to pressurise you.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- We haven't got all the time in the world.- No, we haven't.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Careful, Blues. Don't make the same mistake as the Reds.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01But talking of time,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03the teams are now just over 30 minutes into the shop.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06As they carry on bargain hunting,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10I've got the opportunity to focus on a couple of finds of my own.
0:11:16 > 0:11:17In the antiques game,
0:11:17 > 0:11:21you simply must travel with one of these things in your pocket.
0:11:21 > 0:11:26It's a magnifying glass. Sometimes called a jeweller's loupe.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30You come across a pretty little bit of Scandinavian design,
0:11:30 > 0:11:36this silver brooch, and on the back is an indistinct mark,
0:11:36 > 0:11:43get your loupe out, snuggle up to that, and it says - Balle 925 S.
0:11:43 > 0:11:50You know that's a Norwegian silver mark and it is of the 1960s period.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54All possible because you've got this magnifying lens.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I carry about my person one of these. It's another lens.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02I use it sometimes and I like it cos it's in the form of a little
0:12:02 > 0:12:06gavel and if you're an auctioneer, it's a nice thing to carry around.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10Go to a fair today and you could buy one of these
0:12:10 > 0:12:14which is a super-duper up-to-date Japanese magnifying glass.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17It's got an LED light in it, look, that gives you ultraviolet
0:12:17 > 0:12:20so you can tell whether some restoration has happened
0:12:20 > 0:12:25to a piece of ceramics or a painting or it goes to white light
0:12:25 > 0:12:30and it would cost you, with a plastic pouch, under £10.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33But if you're looking for magnification
0:12:33 > 0:12:36and you want something that's really valuable
0:12:36 > 0:12:40then the big prize is to go out and find one of these.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43The design of this particular type of
0:12:43 > 0:12:46late Georgian mahogany magnifying glass
0:12:46 > 0:12:50is for one purpose and one purpose alone
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and that is to view pictures.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56These are called gallery lenses
0:12:56 > 0:12:59and the handle is pierced with a little hole
0:12:59 > 0:13:03and around about 1820 or 1830 when this thing was made,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06it would've had a length of silk string
0:13:06 > 0:13:10and would've hung in a gallery, sometimes public galleries
0:13:10 > 0:13:12but more likely private galleries
0:13:12 > 0:13:16and you'd take the lens off the wall
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and schmooze up to some Rembrandt painting,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22something that's got an incredible amount of detail
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and view it from a distance.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Anyway, the survival rate of these things has been tiny
0:13:29 > 0:13:32and as a result they're extremely desirable today.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37Look online and you'll find them in American antique dealers' shops
0:13:37 > 0:13:41for example, the top end of 2,500.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47I've been looking for one for years and what did I pay?
0:13:47 > 0:13:48£200.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Now that is how to magnify your profits.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01Now back to the shopping.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03The Blues have bought one item
0:14:03 > 0:14:05and the Reds still need to make a first purchase.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Now what's caught Jonathan's beady little eye?
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Row of amber beads, OK?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Graduated, I'd say they're amber, they feel right,
0:14:13 > 0:14:19- amber is basically fossilised resin of ancient pine trees.- Yep.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20Millions of years old.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23There's something called copal resin which is more recent,
0:14:23 > 0:14:2530,000 years ago
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and there's what people call reconstituted amber which
0:14:28 > 0:14:31essentially is fragments of amber that have been discovered
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and pressed together, heated and pressed together
0:14:33 > 0:14:34and they make beads out of.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38I think this is probably the latter but these are nice shapes,
0:14:38 > 0:14:43- nice and round. They could be plastic.- Yeah.- It's a gamble.- Yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I don't want to sort of force your hand.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- What I'm looking for is bubbles. - Yep.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Because if you find a bubble then you've got plastic. I can't see any.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I can't see any bubbles.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56The Chinese are buying these in the Far East,
0:14:56 > 0:14:58the Arabs are buying these.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01Now if this is amber then they could be quite valuable.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03She wants £120 for them,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07it might be that there's £150 or £200 if you bought from £100.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09If you get them for 80, you could make 20 or 30 quid.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11You might lose on them, it is a gamble.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- OK.- Let's go green on the amber. - Let's try and get a good price.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Maybe 80 quid?- I'm going to try at 80.- 80.- OK.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18As we have a shy stallholder,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22Jonathan heads off to negotiate away from the camera.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27She wouldn't take 80, she wouldn't take 90. £95.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- There we go.- Fantastic.- I think we could do well on them.- Good stuff.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- It was worth a gamble.- Brilliant. That's one in the bag.- Yep.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35One in the bag indeed, Jonathan. Well done, Reds.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37You've made your first purchase.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38It's now one-all
0:15:38 > 0:15:42and the Blues have come to a decision on the toilet box.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46I've decided, Caroline. I think I want to go with it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- I do.- Right, rewind. So if you want to go with it, yeah?- I do, I do.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Are you happy with that, Gillian?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Yeah, I like the damaged theme we're going down.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- You're going for it anyway? - I am, I am.- OK.- Yes, thank you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Yes, I'm going for that at £100. - For £100?
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- Yes, thank you very much, can we shake on that?- Yes.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Thank you, thank you.- Seeing as you're doing it on the telly!
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Great, another purchase made for the Blues. It's now 2-1 up to them.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Now what have the Reds spotted?
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I like these, these are quite decorative,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26pair of andirons, you know, for the fire.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Again they'd sell more likely in Scotland
0:16:29 > 0:16:31than they would down south,
0:16:31 > 0:16:34this has that sort of a hint of the late 19th century,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37got, you know, Charles Rennie Mackintosh
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- and it has that sort of linear sort of feel about it.- It does, yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41He's asking 125 for them.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- I don't know. Auction would say 60 to 80, 70 to 100.- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Are you going to make a profit? Don't know.- Yeah.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50- Leave them there for a minute, they won't go anywhere.- Yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- They honestly won't. - Not like the bats.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Famous last words, JP, on your head be it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58So the Reds still need to buy two more items,
0:16:58 > 0:17:01whilst the Blues are looking to make their final purchase.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- Is that for umbrellas? - Yes. It is Victorian cast iron.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- I personally love cast iron.- Yeah.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13That's an umbrella or stick stand.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Yeah, so you would have it in your lovely vestibule as you come in.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21- Yes, that's a smart word, isn't it?- Vestibule.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Get you! In your hall, yes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Now also it's very brittle, cast iron, and if you look closely
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I can see a break, can you see it?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- There, it's been... - I can.- Can you see there?- Yes, yes.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- So that's really quite delicate. - Yeah, it is.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43I mean, it's very, very heavy but if you knock it over, it breaks.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- That's it, yes. - It's very brittle.- Yeah.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48And it's £140.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Well, then, no, that's a bit too much, isn't it, Gillian?
0:17:51 > 0:17:52- No, move along.- Move along, right.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Move along but keep it in mind, Blues.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57The Reds however are sifting through what's on offer
0:17:57 > 0:18:00as they still need to make two more purchases.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Art Deco, strong Art Deco sugar sifter, you know,
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- you put your icing sugar... - Sprinkle on cakes?- Yeah, exactly.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11Simply made, pressed bands, pressed top, punched out,
0:18:11 > 0:18:17it's late deco, it's a collectors piece and that. What's the price?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- What does the label say? - Label says 180.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- Quite steep. - What would you do on that?
0:18:23 > 0:18:27- Is there any wiggle room with that? - 140.- I'd like to go for 100 on that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29110.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- 110?- 105?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34108?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- 107.50?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37THEY LAUGH
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Oh, 50p, OK.
0:18:39 > 0:18:40- Do you want to buy that?- I like it.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I think there's a, there could be a market for that in Glasgow.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Let's go for it. - Let's go for it, yep.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Make a decision, yeah. - Very stylish.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52OK, that's purchase number two for the Reds, hurrah!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Now, 15 minutes left.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- No, I don't like that.- No, you don't like that, that's OK.- Sorry.- Right.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- How much are you asking for the guitar?- The guitar's 1,700.
0:19:01 > 0:19:041,700? OK, thanks very much.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08As ever, time's moving on, the pressure has started to mount.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Ten minutes to go, teams.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13It's not, it's not sort of like,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm not sort of saying I have to get this. Are you, Gillian?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- No, I can tell by your face.- No. - No.- I can tell by your face.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Time's ticking but it's a no to the clock.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Definitely worth getting your skates on, teams.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- How much are the...? - 200 a set.- 200 a set.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Five minutes to go. - Oh, no! Yeah, OK.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37There's the stick stand, do you want another look at the stick stand?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39We could make him an offer.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- I quite like it because it's different.- I like it as well.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44And we keep going for silver items and mother of pearl
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- and it's sturdy, it's... - I like it, I like it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Seems the Blues are changing their tune.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53What's your best price on this umbrella stand?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55It's 140 on it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Well, I know that but I think what it is,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm just trying to think, you know,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02how to do it with the auction because we want to make a profit.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That is your problem.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06He's right, Valerie!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- That's true, that is true. - That's a very good point, sir.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12But I would do 85.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- How much did you say?- 85.- 85. - Huge reduction!
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- It is a huge reduction, yes. No, we appreciate that.- Yes.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- But I think it's still going to be expensive.- You make your minds up.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Yep.- Yeah.- At 70, there might be a chance but 85.- No.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26- You could squeeze five. - I don't think we can.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Honestly, it's 70 we can do. At 70 we have a deal.
0:20:30 > 0:20:3270 you can take it away.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- Thank you, sir. All right. - Yeah, thank you for that.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36You're very welcome.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38I did nothing but thank you!
0:20:39 > 0:20:43Congratulations, the Blues have found their very last item.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46But with lack of time on their minds and one more item to buy,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48the Reds home in on watches.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- I'll do the Roamer.- The Roamer. - I'll do it for 40.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- 40.- It's a proper 1950s watch.- OK.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Mechanical wind?- Mechanical wind.- So mechanical wind like my watch...
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Roamer watches have been made in Switzerland since 1888.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08In 1972, the company launched its first quartz movement
0:21:08 > 0:21:12but returned to making mechanical versions in 2003.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16And if he did it for 30, I'd say that would be a good little thing.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- 40.- 35?
0:21:18 > 0:21:23No, 40, honestly, it's, that's half I've gone on it, you know?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- I'll do you 35.- 35?
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- And you're guaranteed a profit. - Thanks very much.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I'd take it, it's a good little watch.- We'll take it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33All you need is a strap for it and it's a nice period style thing.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Definitely.- All right, shake the man's hand,
0:21:35 > 0:21:37the clock can stop and we're done.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Good on you, lads.- Phew! - Thanks very much.- You're very kind.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43And with that, the third and final Reds' purchase is made.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46That went right up to the wire because...
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Time's up, let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:50 > 0:21:55They gave this amber bead necklace the green light at £95.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01They sprinkled £107.50 on this Art Deco silver sugar caster.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08And finally they paid £35 for a gents' Roamer steel wristwatch.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- OK, chaps, was that good fun?- Oh, fantastic fun.- Well, it looked it.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Now, you spent how much?- 237.50.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18That's very precise.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- So who's got the 60 whatever it is? - 62.50.- The 62.50.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- That's in the hands of this man here.- Is it?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- OK, is it in safe hands?- It is now. - Going to snatch it back.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Now which is your favourite piece, Tom-Tom?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Favourite piece, I'm going to put my trust in Jonathan
0:22:32 > 0:22:35- and go for the amber beads. - That's your favourite piece?- Yeah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You can have a favourite without distrusting him, you know.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Yeah.- Anyway, what about you, Dave-Dave?
0:22:40 > 0:22:43Personally I like the sugar shaker, thought it was a bit different
0:22:43 > 0:22:46and hopefully it'll be the sweetener on our hunt today.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Is that going to bring the biggest profit, the sugar shaker?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50No, I think the beads might do it for us to be honest.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54The beads, yeah. Well, he's looking slightly shifty about it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57So you've got all this cash, look, £62.50 coming your way,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59which is very nice, have a nice time shopping
0:22:59 > 0:23:02and you guys go and have a nice cup of tea because right now
0:23:02 > 0:23:06we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09They're pinning their chances on this early 20th century
0:23:09 > 0:23:12silver pincushion in the form of an elephant for £45.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16The Victorian mother of pearl and rosewood toilet case
0:23:16 > 0:23:19set them back £100.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22And finally they were home and dry with this third purchase,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25a Victorian cast iron umbrella stand for £70.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31- OK, girls, was that good fun? - Yes, really good fun.- Good.- Yes.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I'm pleased to hear that. And you spent up, how much did you spend?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- £215.- 215, I'd like £85 of leftover lolly.- There you go.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Thank you very much.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Now, Valerie, I have to ask you which is your favourite piece?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Well, I have to say my favourite piece is what I chose myself,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48it's the box with the lovely sort of inlay, beautiful.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- That's your favourite?- That's my favourite.- Personal favourite.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- What's your personal favourite? - My little pincushion.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Your pincushion's...- Yeah.- ..your personal favourite.- Yeah, very cute.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00- And which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?- Oh.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05- Pincushion.- I think it might actually be the umbrella stand.- Do you?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- The cast iron umbrella stand? - Yes.- The cast iron, yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09OK, well, you never know, do you?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- It'll all surprise us at the auction I expect.- Yes.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Anyway, moving on, Caroline. - Thank you.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17There we go, the little wodge for you.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Thank you. Much appreciated. - What you going to do with it?
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I'm not going to be specific but I've got some ideas.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Now it's time to catch up with our auctioneer.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30£40, anyone for 5? Still online, it's all go online here.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33At £50, I'm looking for 5. At 55.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Well, how lovely is this?
0:24:35 > 0:24:38We've trotted from Edinburgh to Glasgow
0:24:38 > 0:24:40and we come to McTear's saleroom
0:24:40 > 0:24:44to be with our auctioneer of the moment, Natasha Raskin.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Natasha, how lovely.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- Hello, Tim, you're very welcome here in McTear's.- Thank you.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51We're feeling very comfortable already.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Anyway, Thomas and David,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57- their first item are these so-called amber beads.- Yes, so-called amber.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59I don't think they're amber.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00They're very popular amongst buyers,
0:25:00 > 0:25:04they usually inspire competition so they shouldn't be difficult to sell.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05What's your estimate?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Well, I hope they'll cut the mustard at £30 to £50.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11OK, £95 was paid.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13OK, OK.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18You say, "OK." But actually that is potentially a bit of a body blow.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Moving on to another classic, everybody in the 1920s and '30s
0:25:23 > 0:25:27seemed to need to sprinkle sugar on their fresh fruit
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- and here's the joker to do it. - Exactly.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36It's more Art Deco style really, the Chester marks are for 1948, 49
0:25:36 > 0:25:38so it just shows how the Art Deco style endured
0:25:38 > 0:25:40throughout the 20th century.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Good. How much?
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I'm going to say we put an estimate of £50 to £80 on those.
0:25:47 > 0:25:52Your low estimate is approximately half what was paid for this caster.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It is, but at £50 to £80, it's a little bit, "Come get me."
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Now, just in case we forget what time it is,
0:25:58 > 0:26:00here's a nice little wristwatch.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Yes.- How do you rate that? - Well, do you know what?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03I quite like it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06We're seeing mid-century wristwatches go very well
0:26:06 > 0:26:09at the moment, the likes of Omega are very popular,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12Roamer is our maker here, Swiss maker,
0:26:12 > 0:26:1417 jewels to the movement,
0:26:14 > 0:26:17so "ordinary but accurate" is how I'd put it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Unfortunately it's lacking the strap
0:26:19 > 0:26:22but as the actual wristwatch itself, I love the black dial,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25very design-led and no,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29I don't think we'll have a problem selling this any which way.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- What's your estimate?- We're asking 40 to 60 for the Roamer wristwatch.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- Magic!- Magic?- £35 paid. - Oh, good, good.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38What it will all boil down to is the so-called amber beads,
0:26:38 > 0:26:41do they make a disastrous loss or not?
0:26:41 > 0:26:43If they do, they're going to need their Bonus Buy,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45let's go and have a look at it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- OK, chaps, are you excited? - Very excited.- Yeah, very excited.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Not half as excited as JP got, you gave him £62.50.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53JP, what did you find?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- Look at this.- Wow.- Wow, yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59I bought this, it's a little doorstop,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03it's made of cast iron and it's like a, I like to think of it as maybe
0:27:03 > 0:27:06a bit of cheese with a little mouse sitting on the top of it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09There's a sort of tradition of the cast iron in Scotland
0:27:09 > 0:27:10since the 18th century
0:27:10 > 0:27:14and it's a sort of novelty Arts and Crafts sort of thing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- I like it.- Well, OK, so... - How much did it cost, though?
0:27:16 > 0:27:20OK, I spent of my £62 something...
0:27:20 > 0:27:2262.50, actually.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Of my 62.50,
0:27:24 > 0:27:25I spent £38.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29That's not bad, that's not bad and how do you think it'll perform?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I would be surprised if it didn't make a profit of maybe £10 or £15.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Wonderful.- That's excellent.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- Thanks, JP. - What more to say?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Apart from let's find out for the audience at home
0:27:39 > 0:27:43what the auctioneer thinks about JP's little block.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- There's a little cheesy object for you.- Oh, dear. Very cheesy indeed.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I don't smell a rat with this one, I love it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I absolutely love this door wedge.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58I think it is such good novelty fun and it works on so many levels.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01You know the wedge for the door,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04the wedge of cheese with the wee mousie running across it.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07You reckon you're going to get a nibble or two for it, do you?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09I do, I do, we'll come up squeaky clean with this one.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14- Yeah, very good. Anyway, how much? - 20 to 30...- £20 to £30?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- ..for our door wedge.- Is that all? - That's all, that's all.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- £38 paid by JP.- OK.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24And all his hopes are resting on that little rodent.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26How benighted he may be.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Anyway, that's it for the Reds,
0:28:28 > 0:28:31moving onto the Blues, Gillian and Valerie.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34First up for them is their novelty heffalump.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Pincushions are very collectable,
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- condition wise, of course, we're missing the end of the trunk.- Mm.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- But is that such a big deal? That can be fixed very easily.- Super.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49- So how much?- We've put 50 to 60 on this novelty elephant.
0:28:49 > 0:28:50Is that all?
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- £50 to £60, yes.- OK. - I think it's the condition.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56You look as sad as the elephant in the circus.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58No wonder the elephant's looking sad.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00But 50 to 60 is again, I've said it before,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- but it's very much an enticing estimate.- Certainly is.- Exactly.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07- Gillian found it and she only paid £45.- Excellent.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- £45 is a bit of a steal, retail, actually.- Absolutely.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- So we have high hopes for that. - We do.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Valerie went very strongly with her dressing box
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- which is a bit of a mishmash, isn't it?- It is.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22The actual box itself is very nice,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25the inlaid mother of pearl design is very attractive.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28There's nothing going to turn you off there, a few losses
0:29:28 > 0:29:30but again they can be fixed.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33It's the inside that doesn't worry me so much but that just,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35you know, is a little bit of a mismatch as you say.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40The accoutrements are varied between silver topped and also silver plated
0:29:40 > 0:29:43but for what it is, for what it is there's a lot for your money there.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Well, what sort of price then do you think after all that?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49After all that, we're not really asking the earth,
0:29:49 > 0:29:51we're asking for £60 to £80.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54£100 was paid and I'd be very surprised
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- if it didn't bring £100 to £150, so there we go.- OK.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59No pressure, you understand.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03Next is the umbrella stand and that's quite chunky, isn't it?
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I quite like it, it's certainly very Victorian.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09The cast shell design is popular across items, isn't it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:13From cutlery to frames to umbrella stands so it's got a lot going on.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17It's got a lot going on and a lot of the architecture in Glasgow
0:30:17 > 0:30:20is of late 19th century taste
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and this is very much an aesthetic movement stand.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- It's design-led and that's going to be what sells it, hopefully.- Yeah.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Well, that canny Caroline Hawley only paid £70 for it.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34You get a lot for £70 I reckon, though. What's your estimate?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Our estimate's around that, it brackets that, 50 to 80.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- Is it?- Yes.- OK, well, there's some hope then, isn't there?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41There is, there's always hope.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43And talking about hope, they may need a bit, otherwise
0:30:43 > 0:30:46they're going to need their Bonus Buy,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48so let's go and have a look at it.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Are you excited to find out what Caroline's got under her cloth?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Yes.- Oh, yes. - You gave the girl £85.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00- What did you spend £85 on, Caroline? - Well, you ready?- Yes.- Yes.
0:31:00 > 0:31:06- Ooh.- Ooh.- What is it?- It got such a good "ooh"! What do you think it is?
0:31:06 > 0:31:11- Bit fishy to me. - Something to do with needles?- It is.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16- It's a needle holder in the form of a fish...- Oh, it's lovely.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- ..made of marine ivory I would think.- OK.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25With this little lens here, it's called a stanhope
0:31:25 > 0:31:27and if you look very carefully through that lens,
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- you will see a series of views from the Isle of Man.- This is fantastic.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35And there are some lovely views. Can you see?
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Just have a look, one side of it's flat...- Ooh, yeah!
0:31:37 > 0:31:40And also how much was paid for this?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Oh, also how much, that's the question, isn't it?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45What do you think?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Erm...- 50?- 40?
0:31:49 > 0:31:5070.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- 70!- 50, 40, 70.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57No, but I do like it. I like it a lot.
0:31:57 > 0:32:01It's a nice thing and I think it would appeal to a lot of collectors.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03So what year are we talking sort of?
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I would think that's mid-19th century.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- Yeah, no, I'm happy with that.- Yeah.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- I think it'll make its money.- Right.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- But I don't think there's a huge profit to be made on it...- OK.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- ..but I think it's...- A little. - Yeah, a little.- Right, OK.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19OK, well, on that happy note, let's check out right now
0:32:19 > 0:32:22what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's little stanhope.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Well, Natasha, here's a bit of fishy business for you.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33It is fishy, but it's again a good novelty piece.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- Is that a lovely stylised fish? - It really is, could it be a kipper?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40It could be a kipper and because it comes from the Isle of Man...
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- It does.- ..that ties up with the Manx kipper industry.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47It does, it's a lovely tourist item
0:32:47 > 0:32:51and we're finding that quirky helps with these ladies' items.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55- I rather like it, I have to say. I quite fancy it as an object.- Me too.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59- Do you?- I do.- How much do you fancy it?- We put it in at £40 to £60.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01You don't fancy it that much then, do you?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Oh, well, come on, it's halfway to £100.- You half fancy it. OK, fine.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- £70 was paid by Caroline.- OK. - And she really rates it.- Mm.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Whether the team will go for it or not is another matter
0:33:12 > 0:33:14and that is the name of the game, isn't it?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16It is, the name of the game.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17The name of the game.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23And let's see for this. £120...
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Now, Thomas, David, how are you feeling? All right?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Feeling a little bit nervous, actually.- Nerves are jangling, yep.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Why?- Why?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33A bit of uncertainty about some of our pieces
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- but I think once it's happening, it'll be fine.- Uncertainty?
0:33:37 > 0:33:42- Anything you wish you hadn't bought? - Almost all of them.- Oh.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45The silver sugar shaker might come a cropper.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49- Might not be as sweet as it seemed at first glance.- Exactly.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Now, here we go, here comes the reconstituted amber beads.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55And let's see for this single strand. Go on, give me £50.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58- You need these in your life for £50. - You need it.
0:33:58 > 0:34:0140 then, ladies and gentlemen. Who is bidding 30? Who will be bold?
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Bid £30 for a fabulous neckpiece. Who will bid me £30?
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Go on, then, 20. I'll take 20 and who'll put up a hand at £20?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Let's see it, £20. Thank you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13At £20, right here in front, it's going to look good.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16At 25 online, will you make it 30?
0:34:16 > 0:34:1730's bid, thank you.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20At £30. Will you make it 35, online?
0:34:20 > 0:34:21- I'm starting to sweat here.- Yeah.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24At £30 it's to our chic lady here in the front row.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26At £30 it sells.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29Uh-oh. £30. I'm afraid it's minus 65.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Now let's try the caster, here it comes, looking good.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37And let's see, come on now, this is an easy £80.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Who's bidding me £70?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42Let's get £70 on the caster, let's not beat around the bush.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- Let's get 60 then. £60 is...oh! 70 online.- There we go.

0:34:51 > 0:34:52At £70, are we all done?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54It is £70.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56My goodness, £70.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59That is minus £37.50.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Right, it's all down to the watch, then.- Now...
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- Off to a good start. - Onto the watch.- Taken a hammering.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08See I'm looking for £60 for this. £60, who's bidding?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12I've got 25 on commission. I'll take that, it's low but I'll take it.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Who'll make it 30? At £25, 30's online.- Give us a break.

0:35:22 > 0:35:24Who's bidding? At £40, are you done? No, 5 online.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Well, you've made a profit on one item.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Come on, push it up to 50, we like even numbers here.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30At 45, I'm looking for 50.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33At £45, are we all done? It's selling, then.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Last call, fair warning. At £45.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Well done, that is a profit of £10. Bravo.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Which means overall you are minus £92.50.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45- Oh, deary me.- Yes. Well, there we go. - There we go.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Right, what are we going to do about this wedge?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- We going to do the doorstop? - Definitely.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51OK, we're going with the Bonus Buy.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55We're going with wee mousie and £38 paid, her estimate is £20 to £30.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- OK.- You never know.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00So let us hope that cast iron is rather better than
0:36:00 > 0:36:03reconstituted amber because here we go.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07A mouse on a wedge there, a good tongue-in-cheek thing and let's see.
0:36:07 > 0:36:0950's online, will you make it 55?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Will you make it 60, online?

0:36:35 > 0:36:38120 is bid. 130, will you? Still going, thank you.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42At 130, I'm looking for 140. At £130, are you bidding 140?
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- At 140.- One more bid, come on.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Cheers at the back of the room. 150, I'm looking for 160.- Well done.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52At 150, I'm looking for 160.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56At £150, sounds like winning money to me.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58At 150...160! 170, will you?
0:36:58 > 0:37:00170 is still bid.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- 170 against you, will you make it 180?- 170!
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I'm going to hurry you now, it's the lady's bid, 180, 190?
0:37:06 > 0:37:07190's still bidding.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10At £190, will you make it 200?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12The internet has gone I think.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14It's the lady's bid of 190. Last call.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16190.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20£190. Whoop! That is something else.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22- 190.- Unbelievable.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26So hang on, that's two off 40, that shows you a profit of £59.50.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Fantastic.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31So out of nothing, this man has produced you
0:37:31 > 0:37:34£59.50 in the way of profits, which could be a winning score.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- Yeah.- Unbelievable.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40JP, I have not seen such an extraordinary result in years.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- Isn't that great?- Wonderful. - Phenomenal.- Well done, chaps.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Say not a word to the Blues, all right?- Absolutely not.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48And all will be revealed in a moment. I love it.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Now your pincushion in the form of a heffalump,
0:38:01 > 0:38:03I really like that thing, you paid £45.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05She's estimated £50 to £60.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I think it's a bit of a miserable estimate
0:38:07 > 0:38:11because if the trunk was good, it's £150 to £200 worth of heffalump.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Well, here we go then. Here comes the novelty pincushion.- Right.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18£60, come on, let's get a bid at £60. £60, are you bidding me?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21You're all quiet in the room, are you bidding me £60? Come on, now.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24I'm dropping, I'm looking for 40 then. Who's bidding?
0:38:24 > 0:38:2540's bid, thank you.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- 40 we're in, looking for 5 next. - Slow start.- At 40, we've got a bite.
0:38:28 > 0:38:305. 50?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32Will you make it 50? You will. £50.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I'm looking for 55.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35At £50, you're against the internet
0:38:35 > 0:38:38and the internet seems to have gone cold, but they're back in.
