0:00:03 > 0:00:05Newark Showground, which houses
0:00:05 > 0:00:09one of Europe's largest antiques fairs
0:00:09 > 0:00:12also hosts today's two teams.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14It must be that time of day again.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah!
0:00:42 > 0:00:47Romantic poet Lord Byron lived in nearby Newstead Abbey.
0:00:47 > 0:00:53In fact, he took his first book of poetry for publication to Newark.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Let's hope that our teams today are going to be able to romance
0:00:57 > 0:01:00some dealers in order to get the best bargains.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Let's take a quick look at how they got on.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Coming up on today's show...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09..the Reds rely on the blarney.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11If you can get it for a tenner then yeah.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13You're Irish.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15..while the blues employ old-fashioned teamwork.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21My advice - go in softly and then start crying and begging
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- in equal measure. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:23 > 0:01:25And some of it pays off.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Sold.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31For the Reds today we've got two friends.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Well, they're friends at the moment. Peter and Rachel.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And for the blues, we've got sisters Laura and Mary. Hello, everyone.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- ALL: Hello. - Hello. Lovely to see you.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Now, Peter, you have your feet firmly placed in rock.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47I do indeed. I work in a rock band and listen to rock
0:01:47 > 0:01:48and I'm there pretty much six days a week,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and on the seventh day I tend to go in and have a drink there anyway.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55You're not averse to standing behind the microphone yourself, are you?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59No. When they need to close the pub I'll get up and sing a song myself.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Very modest, I'm sure.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- It says here you're a self-confessed geek.- Oh, indeed, yes, yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- My love is rock but I'm also a massive comic book...- Comic books?
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Comic books and figures
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and anything from kind of nostalgia from my childhood.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Now, Rachel, you're a talented performer. Tell us about that.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Yeah. I do freelance performance and that comes in...
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I do some acting and then bits of teaching and last year...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Multimedia stuff?- Yeah, last year.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Part of an augmented-reality game which... There were lots of
0:02:27 > 0:02:30filmed elements to it which players would watch online
0:02:30 > 0:02:33and they'd have puzzles to figure out online
0:02:33 > 0:02:36but then they'd have to come and meet myself and other characters
0:02:36 > 0:02:37in the game in person.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40This is the new way forward though, isn't it?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42- All this interactive stuff? - Yeah.- You know?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And who knows how much work all that's going to throw up.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46- Be nice.- Good for you.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Is your friendship going to come in handy today, do you think, you two?
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- Most definitely.- I think so, yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53And what's this obsession about little pieces of furniture?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54We'll be getting a tiny chair.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Because you've seen tiny chairs make a lot of profit?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59They make money. Some of them have made more than others
0:02:59 > 0:03:01but I've never seen one that didn't.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- But you're not obsessed about miniature furniture?- No, no, no, no.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, I fit in them but I'm not obsessed.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- THEY LAUGH - OK, fine, well,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10that's a pretty cool answer.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14Now, Laura, you have an interest in childcare. Tell us about that.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Yeah, I'm currently in my second year at Lincoln Bishop University
0:03:18 > 0:03:19doing early childhood studies.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23My eldest sister did childcare when she was my age
0:03:23 > 0:03:24and did a lot of observations on me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26You felt like a guinea pig, did you?
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Looking back, I did kind of feel like a guinea pig, yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- And you have a sweet tooth?- Yes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I like making cupcakes and cheesecakes and everything like that.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37So, Mary, you're in business. What is it?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41We have a mobile vintage tea room, usually a marquee,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45then decorate it with bunting, tables, chairs, flowers,
0:03:45 > 0:03:49sell afternoon teas, cream scones, home-made sponge cakes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We get all dressed up in our uniforms.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55And will the family connection be helpful, do you think?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Two minds greater than one? - I think so.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I mean, we seem to sort of get along really well
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- and agree with most things.- Yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04We'll either totally agree or totally disagree.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05There's no middle ground.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06OK, fine.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Anyway, this is going to be fun. Here comes the £300. £300 apiece.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- There's £300. 300.- Thank you.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14You know the rules. Your experts await. And off you go!
0:04:14 > 0:04:16And very, very, very good luck.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20So it's going to be all about rock music and rock cakes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25And rolling into view are our erudite experts.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29We've called up Natasha Raskin to help out the Reds.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And Paul Laidlaw is our man about the house for the Blues.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37OK. Peter and Rachel, best of friends.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39And what are you thinking of buying today?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41A tiny chair. THEY LAUGH
0:04:41 > 0:04:42A tiny chair.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- The only thing we've discussed. - We've got to buy three things.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47One of them's a tiny chair, and did I hear no silver?
0:04:47 > 0:04:48- No.- No silver.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Something tells me you might be into the whole retro thing.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's not retro, it's vintage.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54It's vintage, retro...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Well, we quite like little toys. - Little toys?- Yeah.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- So, novelties, tiny chairs and something else?- And something else.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Right, let's do it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03You didn't see china, did you? Did you say tea sets?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05No.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Tea sets are cool but we're going to make a profit. Come on.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Going to be a bit different. - Yes. Let's go.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14That's it then, teams, the clock starts now.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16We have an hour to go. The race is on.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, we're faced with chairs. Are any of them small enough?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22There is a small one over there.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23Oh, my goodness. OK. Let's go round.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27The Reds are wasting no time putting their plan into action.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32It is small so we can lift it up and have a proper gander.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So, we've got a very traditional sort of rail back chair here.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's very much for the fireside, isn't it?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I had in my mind when you said about small chairs, something upholstered.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Perhaps that's a little bit more finely turned
0:05:43 > 0:05:44but it does what it says on the tin.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Yes.- It's a small chair. In oak. What are you thinking?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51It's got that rustic kind of sit-beside-the-fireplace chair.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53We must have about ten seconds off the clock here
0:05:53 > 0:05:56but let's have an ask about this tiny chair, because for me,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I don't really think that we would want to be paying much more
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- than £20 or £30 for it maximum.- Yes.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I think an auction estimate would be about 20-40, 30-50.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06So if we can get it in low two figures,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08could be doing all right and we could tick that off the list.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Tiny chair. OK, let's go ask.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I do love your tiny chair.- Do you?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Well, there's no price on it. Do you know...?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- It's 175.- 175?!- Yes.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23I don't think I'm even going to haggle with you on that one.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24So sorry.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26I have a feeling we wouldn't get near it at auction
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- but thank you so much.- You're very welcome. All right.- Cheers.- Bye.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Right, OK, we need to find a cheaper, maybe even smaller
0:06:32 > 0:06:33tiny chair.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Let's not waste any time. - See you, chair.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Bye, chair.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Back to the drawing board then.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44Looks like the Blues have found something right up their street.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48What do you think of that pigeon cage? Look at that.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50I like that, it's very ornate.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- I like that a lot.- I do like that. Is that old?
0:06:52 > 0:06:57That's the question. Most we see are 1980s reproductions, yeah?
0:06:57 > 0:06:58But look at that.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Glass, enamel on tin plate and crying out authentic.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05That is not some knocked up in the East
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- and then shipped over here in a container.- Is that English?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11No idea where it's made. It'll be European.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13But it's amazing.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- I like that.- I like that.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I bet it's worth a fortune.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20It's going to be worth £40 as a curio, isn't it?
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Shall I ask him?- Go and ask.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Yeah, that'll be great. - What could we sell that for?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Well, if we could buy it for...
0:07:28 > 0:07:31(WHISPERS) 200? 200? How much?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- 200.- We've got good taste. - It's too expensive.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Unfortunately, we're also overambitious.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Right, keep looking.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42No point hanging about at that price.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- What do you reckon? Indoors? - BOTH: Yes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Now, are the Reds still looking for a tiny chair?
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- Ned Kelly.- Ned Kelly? - That's Ned Kelly.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I have no idea who Ned Kelly is, so...
0:07:56 > 0:07:57He was an Australian outlaw
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- sent over from Ireland on the old dead ships.- OK.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- And he made a big name for himself stealing.- Oh, right, OK.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- So what are you thinking? - He's heavy.- He's heavy.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Right, OK, so what actually have we got?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12We've got a sort of towards mid-century 1960s money bank.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Yeah.- It's not your typical money bank because...
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Let's have a wee look at how do we get the actual money out of it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:19- It's got a key.- We've got to get the key there.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- It doesn't come with the key. - If you buy Ned Kelly
0:08:21 > 0:08:24and you can't open it you're doing something wrong.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- You're in trouble. - What do you reckon to it?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I quite like him. I think it's cute.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- He's heavy.- Wow, he is heavy, yeah. - What is he made of?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's hard to tell, isn't it? But certainly it's a cast metal anyway.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I mean, do you think it's got enough of a broad appeal?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Brad Pitt made a film of him, so... - OK.- So he is well known.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- So we've got Hollywood on our side. - Yeah.- And you like it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It'd be a case of getting it at the right price
0:08:44 > 0:08:46but if you're wanting to ask we can find out.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47How much would you sell that for?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Pff.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I wouldn't be surprised if it were to exceed £15
0:08:51 > 0:08:54but I would be surprised if it were to exceed 30, you know?
0:08:54 > 0:08:58So, if the price tag is anything over ten then we're struggling...
0:08:58 > 0:09:01If we can get that for a tenner what do you reckon?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03If you can get it for a tenner, then yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04You're Irish.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Hi there. So...Ned Kelly.- Yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10We were thinking that we'd like to pay a tenner for him.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Sorry.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- SHE LAUGHS - What does it have to be?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- It's got to be 15.- 15?- Yeah, I can't do anything less than that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'm selling it to everybody for that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20They took him out of my country and sent him to Australia, come on.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22THEY LAUGH Got to help an Irish man out.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24He's using the blarney now.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27You couldn't shave off a couple of quid, get it down to 12?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30No, sorry. No, I can't. It's got to be 15.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32OK, so, £15. So what are you thinking?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Could you do it for 13 and a handshake from an Irish man?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- I wouldn't do it for 14.99. - THEY LAUGH
0:09:38 > 0:09:39It's got to be 15, I'm sorry.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Good man, sticking to his guns.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It's up to you. I reckon it would make about 15 at the auction.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48It is a fun, quirky thing but, you know, it's not a guaranteed profit.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- I like it.- You love him, don't you? - I'll let you have the choice.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Yeah, no, he's quite cute.- Yeah? - Go on, then.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Are we going for it?- Yeah.- Oh, my goodness.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Get the glove off.- He won't shake with a glove.- Thank you very much.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Thank you very much, sir. - The last of the big spenders, eh?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Can't believe you made me buy a Ned Kelly.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Back to the blues. Paul's taken quite a shine to something.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Italian glass lamp. Very 1930s, 1940s kitsch.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- That's not my cup of tea but... - No?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I would you have seen that being you.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23How much is the lamp?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- It's 40.- 40 quid.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- What do you think?- Would there be any mark up on the lamp?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I think the lamp's doing something.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33I think it does tap into that retro but I'd rather it was less than 40.
0:10:33 > 0:10:34So, is it all there?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Is that broken or is that just the moulding?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- That is...little recess to let the cable, the flex run out.- Ah.- OK?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43It'll be Italian. Probably Venetian.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47And it's an aventurine glass which means...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- See those little flecks of silver, like foil in there?- Yeah.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Can you see that? It sparkles.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55It's aventurine glass. And it is, it's flecks of metal.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Is it worth making an offer on it?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Well, I don't know. Do you like it?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Are you desperate or are you starting to like it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- What is your motivation here? - The more I look at it, the more I like it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Is there any slack in the...? The ladies like it. It's nice.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- MAN: 30 quid.- 30?- 30 quid.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Yeah?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- No...- Still too much.- 25?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Would you take 25? - I will do, yeah.- Lovely.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Good man.- Deal.- Hey, well done. - We bought something!
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Look at that! We've got something. - Yay!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Right then. We've broke the duck. - Yes.- Now we're on a roll.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Two more things.- Five more minutes, we'll have this job done.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Right, come on. Well done.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37I like to see confidence.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39One down, two to go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41While both teams are still busy working the fair
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I have a teaser for you.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Do you fancy tackling a couple of mysteries?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Well, try these two on for size.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Here we've got a solid silver cast pair of scissors.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55They're made of solid silver.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58You can tell that because inside this little place here
0:11:58 > 0:11:59it's got the lion.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Look, it's got the monarch's head
0:12:01 > 0:12:04and it says EF for the maker.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09And you can date them at around about 1780 or 1790.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12The dealer thought they were sugar nips
0:12:12 > 0:12:13but I don't think that's correct
0:12:13 > 0:12:15because if you look carefully,
0:12:15 > 0:12:20throughout, there are a lot of fleshy vegetable-type leaves.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23And I think they're lettuce leaves.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28And then, intriguingly, lurking around in the cos lettuce leaves
0:12:28 > 0:12:30are a whole load of caterpillars.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Looks like a worm, but actually, it's a caterpillar
0:12:33 > 0:12:36crawling around in that greenery.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39So, in a smart Georgian dining room, salad is served
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and a pair of scissors like this might come out
0:12:42 > 0:12:46and serve up some of the accessories that go with the salad.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49They cost you £120 from the stand over there,
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and if you could prove that they are rare salad scissors
0:12:53 > 0:12:56they could be worth as much as 250-300.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59So, the research is well worth while.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Next-door, we've got another mystery
0:13:02 > 0:13:05but it comes from the other end of the spectrum
0:13:05 > 0:13:08when it comes to craftsmanship.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11What we've got here is a crafted lump of wood
0:13:11 > 0:13:14which is carved with an oddball head at one end
0:13:14 > 0:13:19and underneath there are three pierced spikes.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24And the whole thing tapers down to a narrow-ish point at the bottom.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29And I guess this thing was probably made between 1820 and 1850,
0:13:29 > 0:13:32but for what purpose?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Could it be something to do with sailor art?
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Could it be something to do with needlework?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I genuinely don't know.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44What I do know is that it's an intriguing object.
0:13:44 > 0:13:48And when you find something like this that's as rare and oddball
0:13:48 > 0:13:51a piece of folk art that you could find
0:13:51 > 0:13:53and it's priced up at £30,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57really, you should take the £30 out of your pocket
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and set off on a journey.
0:13:59 > 0:14:04A journey of discovery, because that research could take you
0:14:04 > 0:14:07and this object to a completely different place.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11For certain, it's going to be worth, if you knew its purpose,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14more than £30 at the end of the day.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16So far, the teams have one item each.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Let's catch up with those Reds.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22The little monkey has caught my eye.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Where's your little monkey?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25OK, why don't you have to look seeing as you...?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27This is very much your monkey.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31OK, so, how does he feel? How is his stuffing?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- He's pretty stiff. I have no idea what that is in there.- OK.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Oh, he's got a tatty tail.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- OK.- And a hole in his head.- Oh. - A hole in his head.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Poor thing.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44What's the label telling us?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46It says that it's German, which is encouraging.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I mean, he is a cute thing but £85 price tag.- Very expensive, yeah.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52I think we'd be expecting to make around £20 at auction
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- if we got there.- Yeah.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Come on, Reds, time's ticking away.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59I think we'd better move away from the monkey.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02What about behind us? We've got some vintage binoculars and things there.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I've always quite liked them myself. I like the cases.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07They are very popular. We see them very regularly
0:15:07 > 0:15:08coming up at the auction.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10They're not an unusual thing to see, field binoculars
0:15:10 > 0:15:11in a fitted leather case.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14I think what's nice is that we have a good selection of them here.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- There's an absolutely stonking pair at the back there.- Just seen that.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19They're going to have a huge price tag
0:15:19 > 0:15:21but we might as well have a look, seeing as we're here.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Do we see a price tag?
0:15:23 > 0:15:28Um, £95. 95. But they're well worth a look because they are...
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Military, aren't they? - Yeah, they look military issue.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Glasgow and London maker Barr And Stroud.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38What's quite nice is they've still got the cases for the eyepiece.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40They're not in absolutely perfect condition.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42And they have their squaddie's name on them.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Yep, they've got the initials on them. We expect to see that.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well, it's quite a bit of the history, isn't it?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48To see the initials on there.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51I mean, you've seen cases in worse condition.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53We've got the lid, a little bit of tat here.
0:15:53 > 0:15:59- How much would you say for it?- If we could get those for about £55-£60
0:15:59 > 0:16:01I think we might be doing OK.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02What do you think?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Is it worth a shot? Do you like them?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- I love them actually.- You love them? - I'd love to have them myself.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08OK. Have a feel. Have a feel.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- I'll swap you.- Oh, my goodness. OK. - 95.- You've got £95 on them.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13We really love them.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16We were wondering how much you would consider.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Ah, 65, and that'll be it.
0:16:18 > 0:16:2050. NATAHSA LAUGHS
0:16:20 > 0:16:2155.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- 55.- No, it's 65, really.- 55.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I think 65 is quite a fair offer. It's one to consider.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Totally up to you. I think as long as we're all on the same page
0:16:28 > 0:16:29that we know it's a bit of a gamble.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Are you gambling folk?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I like them but they're yours.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Ah, go on, then.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- All right.- Go for it?- Yeah.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- OK.- Look at that. Oh, my goodness. - Thank you.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43Good work.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45They've nabbed the bins
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and the Blues are still searching for their second item.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51What's this, a conflab?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Yes, we've seen something we like. - Well, get in.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Just seen this sort of unique... - Little mesh or chainmail...
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Silver-plated evening bag. £30.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- Yes. £30. Well, we know it's not silver at that price.- Yes.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03And they do come in silver.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Getting on for 100-year-old. Don't see a problem with it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- We just thought it was very unusual. - It's very delicate at the top...
0:17:09 > 0:17:10I haven't seen anything like that.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- ..clasp.- Is that a good price for it?- They're not uncommon.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17A plated one's going to be worth 20-40
0:17:17 > 0:17:20if we're being really optimistic but I think that's optimistic.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- And 30 is there or thereabouts. - Middle.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27If you got it for 20 I'd say it'll make 20-30
0:17:27 > 0:17:28so you make a few pounds on it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- I do like it.- I like it.- You like? Yeah, this is...
0:17:31 > 0:17:33We've got some... You look quite...
0:17:33 > 0:17:36We're going to stand by this and we do like it.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39That's right, you stand your ground, girls.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42I'm with you. I'm going to leave you to do the business.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- You going to buy that?- I'm going to get the best price.- Well done.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Meanwhile, the Reds are looking for item number three.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52There's loads of silver in there.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54You're not interested in having a look at any of it?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- BOTH: No.- That's a definite no.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Popular are The Wombles.- Yeah. - There's one there for 15. Yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04The Wombles.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06The Wombles? I think we'd better go and see
0:18:06 > 0:18:08how the Blues are getting on.
0:18:08 > 0:18:1122. Is that OK?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15That's not up to me. I think it's OK but it's up to you.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Yes?- Yes, I am happy with that because I like it.- Yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19- And we bought our second thing. - Yes!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Come on!
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Two down, one to go for the Blues
0:18:23 > 0:18:25and it looks like the Reds have finally spotted what they want.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29What are you thinking about this tiny chair?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- It's not the finest we've seen today, is it?- No.- No.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It looks a bit broken.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35A little bit battered and bruised.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Someone has maybe sat down too quickly on the tiny chair
0:18:38 > 0:18:42because it's got a great big missing part along its back support.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44I quite like the natural oak actually.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- It's got that rustic feel.- Grab it out and have a quick look.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Let's get it. OK.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Oh, I quite like it. I don't know why but I quite like it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- It is small.- It is tiny. - It's very small.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I hope it's as old as it looks.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00I don't think it's as old as that nice Victorian one
0:19:00 > 0:19:01that we saw earlier.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- I think that probably...a home-made job.- Yes.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06I don't think this is by a furniture retailer
0:19:06 > 0:19:07or anything like that but...
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- I like it more than you do anyway, so...- You do.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- At least we can find out.- Shall we? Shall we see the best price?- Yeah.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13OK.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Sorry.- Yes.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- We wouldn't be able to just get a price on this?- You certainly would.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- What's on it?- It's 30 on it at the moment. What's the best you can do?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- 20.- 20?
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- You see, I've been here all day looking for a tiny chair.- Yeah, yeah.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Is that the best-best you could do?
0:19:29 > 0:19:3215.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Would you do it for ten?
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- I can't, I'm afraid. 15. - Meet me in the middle.
0:19:37 > 0:19:3912.50?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Go on, then.- Have I got my tiny chair?- You've got your tiny chair.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43- Shake on it. - Oh, thank you very much.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - £12.50 for a tiny chair.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Oh, my goodness, you are a lady. Thank you very much.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- OK.- We've got a tiny chair. - We've got a tiny chair!
0:19:51 > 0:19:54We're done! That was our third item so we're done. Oh, my goodness.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Good man. Good bargaining.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Let's whip round here and then at the end. It's all we can do.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01We need to get a jog on, I think.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04With only minutes left, no time to hang about, Blues.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Ladies.- Oh, wow.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Is that a teapot?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Wow? I like wow.- Wow!
0:20:11 > 0:20:13That is unusual.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Yes.- Isn't it?- I do like that. - That is very...
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Check out the spout.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21SHE GASPS That's very different.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- Yeah.- And we like different. - I'm liking that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I'm liking what you are saying.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28There's impressed marks, or moulded marks,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30but for the life of me, I can't see what it says.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33It might just be "made in England" for all I know.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36So, chintz, we know we can date it to the mid-20th century.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37That is old.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Crazed in tea stains but that's all right because it's going to be...
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- That's actually good condition. - That's a good spot.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I tell you what, it's not in great condition.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Is that a crack on the inside of that spout? You see it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Might be something you could mention if you were negotiating.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- I've seen nothing like it.- That is... I like that.- I...yeah.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59So, it's £69. I think 69 is enough.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01And we know it's packing up time.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- What do you reckon?- And it'll be one less item for them to take back.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Yeah.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- If you can get it for £30 it's worth a punt.- BOTH: 30.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- But you're going to have to do a job at work.- OK.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14My advice, go in softly and then start crying and begging
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- in equal measure. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Who's doing this? A double act! Bring some emotion.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20- Yeah.- Let's do it together.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Where's our man? How are you doing?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25He's going to have to stand his ground with this lot.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Can we hack into that price?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I...I mean, hack into it. It's closing up time.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- Yeah, you don't want to take it home. - Nobody else wanted it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Could that be cheap?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Well, I can knock 20 off the price for you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I'll make it 49.- 49.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- Still a bit high.- That's a big discount, but then again,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47it's all relative to where you stand.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51You've got us. You know you've got us...but
0:21:51 > 0:21:56would you shake hands, 40 quid on the nail, make everybody's day?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57- No.- No?
0:21:58 > 0:22:0042.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- 42.- It's a deal.- 42?- Is it a deal?
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- Yay.- Thank you very much.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06We've got eight minutes to go.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I reckon tea and scones or whatever, isn't it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:10- Yeah.- Certainly is.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Come on, let's go.- Cream tea time.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Sounds like a plan.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Are you brassed off yet? Ha!
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Cos time's up.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22They paid the vast sum of £15
0:22:22 > 0:22:24for the Ned Kelly money box.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Next, they spent £65
0:22:28 > 0:22:29on the binoculars
0:22:29 > 0:22:30with original case.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33And finally, they found
0:22:33 > 0:22:34the tiny chair they were after
0:22:34 > 0:22:36and snapped it up for £12.50.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41Right then. Was that fun or not?
0:22:41 > 0:22:42- It was.- Yes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Now, "Parrer", which is your favourite piece?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Mine is the Ned Kelly money box. - Ned Kelly money box.- I do like that.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Are you a bit of a rebel yourself? - Oh, I am indeed.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I thought you might be. Anyway, hence, that's a natural.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Now, Rach, which was your favourite piece, darling?- Our tiny chair.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58- BABY VOICE:- Your tiny chair.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- Oh, yes.- Yes?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Without doubt.- It has to be. - It has to be. OK, fine.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- And have you had the most fabulous hour with Natasha?- We have indeed.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's been wonderful.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Wonderful.- Good fun, good fun.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11Super. So you spent how much?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- £92.50.- £92.50. It's a pretty pathetic amount.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16THEY LAUGH
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So that would be £202.50 then.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21- £207.50.- Even £207.50.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Unless I can keep the fiver. - No, no, no, you can't keep anything.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25I just can't do the maths.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28OK, then let's have it. Thank you very much.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29- There you go.- Thank you very much.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31That's a whole great bundle, isn't it?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Of course, Natasha rather likes the big bundle, don't you, darling?
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I do like it. I think we need to steer away from tiny
0:23:37 > 0:23:39because we're not left with a tiny amount.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41The tiny chair was for a tiny price, believe us.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43So you're going to get something enormous
0:23:43 > 0:23:45for the enormous sum you've been given?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I don't know. I don't know what to do with you guys.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50You had me all over the place but we'll figure out something.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Such a tease. Anyway, lovely. Look after yourselves.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58They bought the vintage table lamp
0:23:58 > 0:23:59for £25.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03They then bagged an elegant purse
0:24:03 > 0:24:04for £22.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07And with only minutes to go
0:24:07 > 0:24:09they spent £42 on an unusual
0:24:09 > 0:24:10chintzware teapot.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Paul Laidlaw looks absolutely in clover here.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I've never seen a happier looking man. Has it been a great shop, Paul?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Oh, it's been fantastic.- Have these girls been great?- Absolutely.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- A hoot.- The two sisters.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Hoot! I love that.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29OK, you hooting sisters, what is your favourite piece?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31I like the teapot.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- The teapot you like the most.- Yes.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35What does your sister think about it?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I like the teapot, yes.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Do you? And is it your favourite?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- I think so, yes.- OK. And is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Hopefully. We got a good discount on it, so...- And do you agree?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Yes, I...- OK. You're all teapots, you girls, aren't you?- Yes.
0:24:48 > 0:24:49OK, genetically linked to the teapot.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51And how much did you spend in total?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- £89.- Which is not a tremendous amount, is it?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55When you think about it?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So, can I have £211, please?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Leftover lolly. Thank you. That's 211.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02I won't count it. I trust you.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05All I know is it's a lot.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07And what are you going to spend it on, Paul Laidlaw?
0:25:07 > 0:25:12Well, I love the whole cooking and teacake revolution thing.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16I would like to buy something foodie to whisk up a wee profit.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Would you? Hmm. I think there's one or two clues in there.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21THEY LAUGH
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Thank you very much, Paul Laidlaw. Thank you, girls.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Both teams now have their items, so it's off to the auction room.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32OK, Charles, well, this is exciting.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34A, it's great to be in Etwall
0:25:34 > 0:25:36at Charles Hanson's saleroom in Derbyshire.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And Charles, I know you're up for all of this cos these are
0:25:39 > 0:25:41- exciting objects, aren't they? - Oh, absolutely, yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44First of all, we've got Ned Kelly, who's not so old, is he?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- I don't think it's very old. I think it's a reproduction.- Yes.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- But a bit of fun.- It's a big word. It's novelty.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52And to collectors, there he is.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Yes. How much?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Tim, we've put a guide price on of between £30 and £40.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- They only paid £15.- That's good.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- So they were not robbed? - Not at all. Not literally, no.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02THEY LAUGH
0:26:02 > 0:26:05No. OK, next is the Barr And Shroud binoculars.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07First World War issue. Do you rate these?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Tim, I really do because I did some homework into this factory,
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Barr And Shroud. They were founded in 1913,
0:26:13 > 0:26:14a year before the First World War.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18And they were a really quite inventive, optical engineering firm.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I think they're very good. We've put the guide price on
0:26:20 > 0:26:22of between 60 and 80...
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Mm-hm.- ..but I feel they could make more.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27OK, well, £65 was paid...
0:26:27 > 0:26:28by Natasha.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32And then we've got an obsession with small chairs...
0:26:32 > 0:26:34that finished up with this folding jobby.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Oh, dear me, Tim.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- It's for a doll, isn't it?- Yeah, it is for a doll, Tim.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39It obviously folds up.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43- It's fairly tired, it's fairly cheaply made...- Yeah.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- ..and I can't say much more apart from I don't like it.- No.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Well, it was made by a man in a shed out of orange boxes in 1920.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Quite nice from that point of view. - Yes.- But not worth anything.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55- No.- Is it worth £20?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I think, Tim, probably auction guide price on a really good day
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- about £30.- OK, well, that's all right.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03- £12.50 was paid, so, no money at all.- That's good.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05They only spent the £92.50.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08And on that basis, an awful lot of money went off
0:27:08 > 0:27:11to the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at that.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Well, guys, you only spent £92.50.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18You gave Natasha £207.50.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19A small fortune by anybody's standards.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21What did you spend it on, Natasha?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Well, everything we talked about was tiny.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Tiny this, tiny that, so I thought, let's keep it small
0:27:26 > 0:27:30but let's try and enlarge things with a lovely magnifying glass.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- That's quite cool.- Oh, do you quite like it?
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Brass mounted, mother of pearl handle.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38It's a shame that it doesn't have a full big whack
0:27:38 > 0:27:40of a mother of pearl as a handle, that would be fabulous,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43but they've made up for that with a great big bulbous brass handle
0:27:43 > 0:27:44at the bottom.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- What do you think?- It's cute. - How much did you pay for it?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- I only spent £20 on it. - That's all right, yeah.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51At that kind of price we surely would do all right.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- What do you think?- I like it.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55I mean, I don't really know what I'm looking for.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57There aren't just one or two of these about.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59It's a reproduction, isn't it, in fairness?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Absolutely. And it's 20th century, it's not late 19th century.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05That would've been nice, but for £20, come on. How can you resist?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- How could I resist?- I like it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Exactly. Well, seize on those memories
0:28:09 > 0:28:11because right now we're going to find out from the auctioneer
0:28:11 > 0:28:14whether he believes it will magnify any profits.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19So, Charles, if you had £207.50 for a bonus buy,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- would you buy that?- Tim, I would blow the whole lot.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It has no real pedigree, probably brand-new,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27it's got this nice nacre, or mother-of-pearl handle
0:28:27 > 0:28:29with the guilt brass mounts either side,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- but, Tim, it's pretty boring.- Yes.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- And therefore won't make much?- No.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- How much?- I suspect, Tim, it's worth anything
0:28:37 > 0:28:40from between £15 and £40.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Fair enough. £20 was paid by Natasha.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Why she didn't spend the whole lot on something
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- that was a bit better...- Go, girl.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Well.- Go, girl.- Play it safe.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49- See what happens, I suppose.- Yes.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51We could all be very wrong and it makes £60
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- and there's a lovely profit in there.- Absolutely.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59And we have the Venetian aventurine table lamp.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Now, Charles, tell us about that.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- It's quite kitsch in appearance. What is it, 1930s?- Suppose so.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07But it is a nice pink and that pale green,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09they're sort of Deco colours, aren't they?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Yeah, and I was reading up before you came...- Oh, yeah?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15..about aventurine. It goes back to the 17th century
0:29:15 > 0:29:18and this way of "flecksing" in the copper to the molten glass.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- To give it flecks.- Exactly.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23To give it this finish which was all the rage really
0:29:23 > 0:29:25from the 17th century period onwards.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29And they principally used it in Venice,
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- and that thing is Venetian, isn't it?- Correct.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I mean, it's a Venetian table lamp.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35I don't know, I think it's quite nice.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Tim, we've put a guide price on of between £40 and £60.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41You're a brave man. £25 they paid.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Well, that's fair enough. It could take off, Charles.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46And now what about the plated mesh evening bag?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48You know, Tim, it is silver plate.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50They're not overly expensive,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53and I wish young ladies would dress with...
0:29:53 > 0:29:56If you go out, right, you've got your mobile phone, you've got...
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Well, phones are smaller. - ..your wallet.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59Will that go in that little mesh bag?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01I think it will, Tim, in today's world.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Really?- We live in a minimal world. I think...
0:30:03 > 0:30:05These always come up at sale,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08and I wish young ladies would wear them with style and vigour.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09OK, fine.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Well, in your dreams, I think, Charles.- Yeah, I think so.- How much?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- We've put a guide price on of between £20 and £30.- Fair enough.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- £22 was paid, not a lot of money. - No.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22And lastly, we've got this seriously-weird chintzware teapot
0:30:22 > 0:30:24which is mad, isn't it, really?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Oh, Tim, it is quite mad and I've never seen one before.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29And this teapot is like none other.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33I love this inverted spout. Love the inverted handle.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I don't think that's anything to do with travel, do you?
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It's all style, that?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Well, Tim, I don't know. But then again, if you were to knock this
0:30:40 > 0:30:42as you're travelling in your carriage or,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I don't know, in your early motorcar,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46you would not damage the spout or the handle
0:30:46 > 0:30:47because they're well protected.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- So it has some...perhaps trick of purpose about it.- Yes, it has.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53It might surprise us, you know, that thing.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Tim, I think it might do.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57It's got that wonderful Royal Winton chintz
0:30:57 > 0:31:001930s interwar period feel about it.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01What's your estimate?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03We've gone between £20 and £40.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05- We really rate it.- OK.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Well, you're going to really, really need to rate it cos they paid £42.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Oh, right.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11But for my money, I can see some teapot collector coming along
0:31:11 > 0:31:13and going a bit bonkers about that, I have to say.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Well, they only spent the £89, Charles, on that lot.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18So, a tonne of money went to Paul Laidlaw.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Let's find out what he spent it on.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Laura, Mary, how are you?- Very well, thank you.- You excited about this?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29- I am.- Looking forward to it.- Well, you gave the man a fortune, £211.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32He loves to blow the lot. Let's see what he bought.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37When you are next whisking your cream and mixing your fondant,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41imagine doing it in that somewhat gorgeous
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Victorian copper whisking bowl.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Do you like?
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- Uh-oh.- No, I do. I do. I didn't know what to expect.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- Feel the weight. Feel the weight. - Oh, wow! That is heavy.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58That's serious piece of Victorian domestic metalwork.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01This came out of, for my money, a country house.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05And I guess, Paul, in a big kitchen, you'd have eight of those
0:32:05 > 0:32:07hung in different sizes down a great battery
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- of cooking utensils, wouldn't you? - Yeah.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13And how much did you spend on that?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16I carved that up for £30.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I think it's got to be worth £30 to £60.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20So, there is a profit in it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Well, we've got the prediction now.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24You don't pick now, you pick later, but right now let's find out
0:32:24 > 0:32:27whether the auctioneer finds this is going to be
0:32:27 > 0:32:29too big a 'whisk', ha, or not.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34OK, Charles. That's for your next cookery lesson.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I've always wanted to learn how to cook well, Tim.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I bet you cook brilliantly, Charles.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40No, I wish I could. It's quite nice.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- It's marked HCH.- Yes. - As in Charles Hanson.- Yes.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- What a nice thing. - Henry Charles Hanson.- Exactly.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- OK, well how much, then?- I'll guide price between 30 and 50.- OK.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Despite having all that cash, Paul Laidlaw only spent £30 on it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- So, with your estimate...- Wow. - He should make a decent profit,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- if the team decides to go with it. - Yes.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01And this is the great, great, great, great excitement, isn't it, Charles?
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- It is, Tim.- You're easily excited, aren't you?- I am, Tim.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05- I can't wait to sell it.- Me too.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- So, Peter, how are you feeling? - Not too bad, not too bad.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- You feeling confident? - I'm not too sure.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Rachel, how are you feeling, darling?- It's going to be ace.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- It's going to fly.- You're going to... You're feeling cool?- Yeah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29OK, good. Now, your Ned Kelly cast iron moneybox £15 paid.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32The auctioneer's reckoned that at 30 to 40.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- So, that's OK.- Not too bad.- If he's right. If he's right.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- And here it comes.- There we are that murderous folk hero.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42It's a cast iron Ned Kelly moneybox.
0:33:42 > 0:33:48And I am bid 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, £30...
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- £30!- 32 now.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54I'm out 32, 35, 38, 40.
0:33:54 > 0:34:0038, 42. 45, 48, 50.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03£50!
0:34:03 > 0:34:0448 I am bid, give me 50.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You're a genius, Pete.
0:34:06 > 0:34:0850. 55? You sure?
0:34:08 > 0:34:1050 I am bid. Do I see 55 online?
0:34:10 > 0:34:14We're all done. Going to you, sir, at £50.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19- It's yours.- That's plus £35. Unbelievable!- Wow.- Unbelievable.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51- How wonderful is that? - Oh, my goodness.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55It goes to you, sir, at £15 and good afternoon to you. Many thanks. Sold.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- That's £2.50.- Yes.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59It does deserve a round of applause
0:35:59 > 0:36:01cos it's excellent auctioneering, isn't it?
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- He really teased that out. - Absolutely.- Which is super.
0:36:04 > 0:36:10Couldn't ask for more. So, currently kids, you are plus £37.50.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13Nothing the matter with that. That's a wiped face.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16So, what are you going to do about the magnifying glass?
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- 20 quid.- Going to risk £20 of your £37?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yeah.- All right. - Yeah, go for it.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Sell them all. Sell them all. - You sure?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Even if it sell, we've still got a profit.- Right.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28We're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30I'll tell you now that his estimate is £15 to £40,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33so frankly £20 sits very comfortably in that.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34- We can't lose much. - And here it comes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Shown for you there, a really attractive brass
0:36:37 > 0:36:39and mother of pearl magnifying glass.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44There we are. And I am bid here £20. I'm asking 22 now.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- A really fine object.- You're on the money at 20.- I am asking 2.
0:36:47 > 0:36:495 I'm bid. 28, sir?
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- 28 over there?- Yes, you're in profit. Well done, girl.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Give me 30. Fair warning all done.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Sell to the lady at £28.- Oh, good!
0:36:58 > 0:37:00Fair warning we are...
0:37:00 > 0:37:04- £28.- I'll tell you what, we've done well!
0:37:04 > 0:37:07Plus £8, which is very good, isn't it?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Which is plus 45.50.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Oh, my goodness!- Plus £45.50.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I mean, who would have thought that?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16You spent £92
0:37:16 > 0:37:21and you're going home with the bonus buy money with £45.50.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Well, that could be a winning score, you two.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- So, don't say a word to anybody, all right?- Not a word.- Well done.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- You two girls, how are you feeling? - Excited.- Excited.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Do you know how the Red's got on? - No.- No.- Good.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41That's just as well. You spent practically nothing.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44£25 on that sweet little table lamp.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- And they're great colours, aren't they?- They are.- Very girlie colours.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52And Venetian and, you know... I'd guess, 1930s.
0:37:52 > 0:37:5540 to 60 the auctioneer thinks. You paid £25.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58So, he sees you doubling your money on that, which is good.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02And first up is going to be your lamp. And here it comes.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Early to mid 20th century Venetian aventurine table lamp.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08£10, £12, £15.
0:38:08 > 0:38:14- Eh.- 18 do I see now? £15 come on. 18 do I see? 15. 18 do I see?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16It's got to go. 15 I'm bid.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- 18 do I see now?- Oh, no.- It seems cheap. We sell on commission at £15.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- That's a bargain, isn't it? - Fair warning, it is sold.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27Go and find another lamp. That is minus £10.
0:38:27 > 0:38:28- They got a good deal there.- Yeah.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- I'm disappointed with that. I thought it was our best item.- Me too.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36Edwardian mesh evening purse. Electo-plate nickel silver.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Very nice. I'm only asking £5. - Oh, what?- It's so cheap.
0:38:40 > 0:38:46Art Deco. 5, 8, £10 online do I see now? I'm out £10.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Bid me 12 in the room. At 10. Bid me 12.- Uh-oh.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54It's a super cocktail bag. At 10. 12 online. We are £12 bid.
0:38:54 > 0:38:59I'm asking £15 in the room. Fair warning, we sell. It is £12.
0:38:59 > 0:39:04Oh, girls! That's minus £10. Maybe the teapot.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06Hopefully, hopefully.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07Oh, come on, teapot.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Chintzware teapot you can transport it easily.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13You won't damage the spout or the handle.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14They're hidden in the design.
0:39:14 > 0:39:20I'm bid nothing at all. Do I see £10, come on. Look at this pot.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23It really is a good pot. Do I see £10?
0:39:23 > 0:39:2910 I'm out. I'm asking 12 now. At 10. 12. 15. 18.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33- 20. 22. 25. 28.- Yes.
0:39:33 > 0:39:4030? Sir? 32? 35? No, he says.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43I'm asking 5 now. Bid me a fiver, come on.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Sold to you at £32.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50- Oh, kids.- 5, 38.- Oh, hang on. - You're out, you're in.
0:39:50 > 0:39:55Fair warning, I sold to you, sir, at £35 today.
0:39:55 > 0:40:01£7 down, so minus 10, minus 10, minus 7 is minus 27...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- Oh.- ..which is not so bad, is it?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- I really thought...- Yeah. - Especially the lamp. I thought...
0:40:06 > 0:40:08- I thought the lamp would go. - I'm with you.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Laura, what are we going to do? We going to go with this bonus buy?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14- Yes.- Yes.- Do you agree, Mary? - I do, yeah.- All right. Fine.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Now you've agreed you're going with the bonus buy,
0:40:16 > 0:40:18which Paul paid £30 for.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- I can tell you the auctioneer has estimated 30 to 50.- Oh!
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- So, there is some hope. - We might break even.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Mark you, he said the Venetian lamp would make 40 to 60
0:40:26 > 0:40:31and that made 15, so we can rely on nothing round here today.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33All right. Everything is a bit flawed.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38So, anyway, on that happy note, you're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40And here comes your copper bowl.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42There we are, a wonderful copper whisking bowl.
0:40:42 > 0:40:50I've got two bids on my book here, so I can start at 22, 25, 28, 30.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53- 32, 35, 38, 40.- 40. Yes.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Give me a fiver. At £40, I'm asking 5.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00- Fair warning, all done. - Look at that. Well done, Charles.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06Upper end of a commission buyer. All done at £40. Yes, we are.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07Well done, Paul.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Yay!
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Afternoon. It's sold.- There is some justice. Plus £10 back on that.
0:41:12 > 0:41:16- Reduces the losses to minus £17. - That's not too bad.
0:41:16 > 0:41:17- There you go, girls.- Not too bad.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- Make a note, Tim. That's not too bad.- There is some justice.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Anyway, there we are. Well done, girls. That's perfect.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25So, that means overall you are minus 17.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26You haven't been very lucky,
0:41:26 > 0:41:28but we will reveal the results in just a moment.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Well, what fun this has been. Has it been fun today?- Yes.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41We have had so much fun.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45There is, however, a chasm that has opened up between our teams today.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47In fact, you can't believe it's teams that have shopped
0:41:47 > 0:41:50in the same place and sold in the same auction house.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52So enormous is this gap.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54And I'm afraid the runners up by a long chalk today are...
0:41:54 > 0:41:56the Blues.
0:41:56 > 0:42:01Minus £17 is the end score, but you was robbed basically, weren't you?
0:42:01 > 0:42:02Very disappointed.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06I mean, that lovely Venetian lamp should not have sold for £15.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- Yeah. We thought it was our best item.- It was first.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10I quite agree with you.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12I'm so much in agreement with you,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15but you did get that £10 bonus buy off his whisking bowl, didn't you?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Perhaps there was some...some fluffing up there.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Anyway, I'm glad you had a nice time
0:42:20 > 0:42:22and we've loved having you on the show. And thank you, Paul.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24But the victors today going home with folding money.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27They're going home with £45.50. That's not bad, is it?
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- We can't believe it.- Look at that.
0:42:31 > 0:42:3445.50, which is a tidy sum, isn't it?
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And you were only stopped from getting your golden gavels
0:42:37 > 0:42:39by a wiped face, so, again, that was disappointing.
0:42:39 > 0:42:44But £35 on Ned Kelly. Who ever would have thought that was the case?
0:42:44 > 0:42:49£2.50 on that wretched...I mean, that lovely little folding stool.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51And £8 on the magnifying glass,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54which was in the container 10 minutes ago.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59Anyway, all that stuff worked out perfectly nicely and it's a result.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- So, did you have a nice time, Rach? - Amazing. Fantastic.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Yeah. Bigger for you, P? - It was good.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Yeah, you've been very, very sporting.
0:43:05 > 0:43:06We loved having you on the show.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:09 > 0:43:10ALL: YES!
