0:00:06 > 0:00:10Today, the show comes to you from the East of England Showground.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13But will our players in Peterborough pick some pieces with
0:00:13 > 0:00:16potential profit? Let's find out.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Let's go bargain-hunting, yeah!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23MUSIC: "Bargain Hunt Theme"
0:00:44 > 0:00:49We've returned to Cambridgeshire to the Festival of Antiques.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52There's always a great atmosphere at this fair.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58But, as so often, there's so many stalls and so little time,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01so let's get a wiggle on and see what's coming up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Relationship advice with the Reds.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07If ever I could get a girlfriend, which would be lovely,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11I could treat her to a new fragrance every evening.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- You could have two for you and two for her.- Yeah.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18And relationship breakdowns with the Blues.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21- Let's be honest, I don't like your item at all.- No, OK.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Well, that is your prerogative. - Let's meet the teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Cor, we've got a great crowd on today's show.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33For the Reds, we've got great friends, Julia and Yvonne.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And for the Blues we've got a future mother-in-law
0:01:36 > 0:01:40- and a future son-in-law, Pat and Martin. Hello, everyone.- ALL:- Hello.
0:01:40 > 0:01:41Lovely to see you.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Now, Julia, you have been friends with Yvonne for how many years?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- 52 years.- 52 years! But you did meet in the school yard.- Yes.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51First day at primary school.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55I've got a picture of us when we were six years old.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- And you haven't changed a bit. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Not a bit. - Hair colour's changed a bit.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02How sweet. That is just adorable, isn't it?
0:02:02 > 0:02:06So that's you, Julia, and that's Yvonne.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- How sweet. So you've had a few jobs over the years, haven't you?- I have.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14My friend and I, we worked seasons away in Bournemouth
0:02:14 > 0:02:17for about four or five years, and then went further afield to
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Italy for one year, working in the catering industry.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24And then I got married, had my children,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28then joined a temping agency and worked at various jobs.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- And now I've retired. - You can't have retired.- Yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37- You retired very early. - I did, I did.- Don't give me that.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39Yvonne, you've had a similar life,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42with incredible variety on the job front, yes?
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- No, no. Just one job for 37 years.- No!
0:02:47 > 0:02:53Yes, I left school on the Friday, started work on the Monday,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57and then 37 years and 4 months later, I retired from it.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00That is amazing.
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- So, same bank, same employer, but a great variety of roles.- Yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:1037 years. I can't believe it. That's a little miracle, I have to say.
0:03:10 > 0:03:16- So, what are your tactics going to be today, girls?- Buy low, sell high.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18So, spend practically nothing if you can get away with it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- OK, fine, it sometimes works. And good luck, girls.- Thank you.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26- Martin... Hello.- ..you reckon you will get on particularly well with
0:03:26 > 0:03:30your mother-in-law as a team today, because you go out doing it for fun.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34What we do, we go round car-boot sales. We've been to antiques fairs
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and we like spotting the hidden gem if we can find it.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Apart from your wife-to-be, you have another passion in your life,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- don't you?- For the last five years,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I've been breeding exhibition budgies.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47People may think it's a bit boring, but it's far from it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50I've got a bird in the nest.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I've been trying for the last two years to get them to breed.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Six hens later, I've actually got some babies in the nest.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00- That is pretty good, isn't it? - It is pretty good.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- Pat, tell me what you get up to. - I'm retired, Tim.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Yes.- I spend a lot of time outdoors.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- I like walking. I like to garden. - Yes.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I also play bowls, but I must admit I only play indoor balls.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Very sensible. - SHE LAUGHS
0:04:16 > 0:04:20With our climate, I don't trust the weather.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- But it's very sociable, bowls, isn't it?- It is. Very sociable.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Now, you go around rummaging about in car boots together already.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- So, you'll find this a piece of cake, won't you?- Hopefully.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32What are you going to go for, do you think?
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Well, we've decided we're going to split it.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We're going to look for one piece each
0:04:37 > 0:04:42and then we are going to have one that we agree on. Hopefully.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Hopefully. OK, already I can see there is some tension here.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece. There's your £300.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54You know the rules, your experts await and off you go, and very,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55very good luck.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Our two experts are ready, waiting to lend a hand.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03For the Reds, hoping to be flash with the cash, it's David Harper.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10And keen to cook up some quality for the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Sunglasses at the ready then. He's wearing those trousers again.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17What's that saying, David? "Red and green should never be seen?"
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- You two have known each other for absolutely for ever.- Yes.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- Do you agree on everything? - No.- Ooh!- Hopefully today.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- Martin and Pat, are you excited?- Oh, yes.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- What are you going to be looking for, Pat?- I want something sparkly.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Do you? - I do like a piece of jewellery.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Julia, what are we going to look for?- Silver.- Good.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Anything quirky.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Something like a plough.- A plough? - That'll do nicely.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46- Quirky and silver. That's fine.- I'm the same.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Anything that catches her eye. - So you do agree on everything.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51How boring. 60 minutes, come on.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- OK, so we've got quite a variety going on.- We have.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Let's go see what we can find. - Excellent.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Look out for some of those sparkly ploughs,
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Kate, and "cheap, cheap" like the budgies, eh, Martin?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Never mind the budgies, look who I've found.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10You're on the Red team and you're on the Blue team.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14And we're all barking. OK, teams, 60 minutes. Start the clock.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16DOG BARKS
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The Reds could have teed up their first potential purchase already.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Are you risk takers, you two?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37We may be. That would appeal to two markets.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42- Go for it, tell me about it. - The sporting and the...
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- Golf.- Cigar smokers.- Yes. - Collectors.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Is it silver? - No, it is silver-plated.
0:06:49 > 0:06:54But the value is in its novelty. And you are absolutely right.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55You've nailed it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59The sporting connection, particularly to golf, is fantastic.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01And then you have the cigar connection too.
0:07:01 > 0:07:07So both areas attract people with large disposable incomes.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09That's a great novelty piece.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14It's a lot to part with in our first...two minutes,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- so I think, should we...? - How much will it come down to?
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I don't know. It's 225, so we might get it for a couple of hundred.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- But, by gosh, you would be taking a big punt.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27So, beautifully spotted.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32- Unless you want to blow your cap off, I think...- We won't risk it.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Sorry.- Sorry.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Par for the course, David. Some good advice.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Meanwhile, the Blues are also keen on the sporting theme.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- What do you like about this? - Horse racing. Horse racing related.
0:07:45 > 0:07:50I just love the packaging. It's by the makers of Monopoly...
0:07:50 > 0:07:51which is a good selling point.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54The best thing is that the all-important bits,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57the counters, are all there in their places.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Some of the tails are missing.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Oh, yes. Well done. Well spotted.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03There is actually another one down there as well.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Is there?- Is there? Oh, a Totopoly. Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15There we go, that's the big version. So let's have a look inside.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20Look at that. It's a great print. Somebody has scribbled on the lid.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- So that's the board.- That's the board.- This is later, I think.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Yeah?- Yeah. There's the counters, look.- Later than that one?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Yes.- These are complete. - It's complete.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Hmm. Let me ask some prices.- Yes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Oh, I think the stall holder's a bit camera shy.- How much are these two?
0:08:36 > 0:08:43That's 30, the best, and 25, the best. So if you wanted the two, 50.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- 50 for two.- I'm more inclined to this one. Because it has the board.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51I think you're absolutely right. It is slightly later, I think,
0:08:51 > 0:08:52but the counters are in better
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- condition and that goes a long way with collectors.- Yes. Yes.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- If we just took this one. - I could only do 25.- Could you do 20?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- Just for us?- Please.- All right. - Yeah?- OK.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- That's lovely, thank you very much. - That's nice.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Cheers.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Thank you very much.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Well done, Martin. Some top haggling skills there.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18So, the Blues have romped home with their first item.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19Why the long face, Reds?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Why were you drawn to him, do you fancy him or what?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Is that your kind of man?
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- "Hi, baby."- I like him, actually. A nutcracker.- He's good fun.
0:09:29 > 0:09:35The colour of that timber has taken 100 years to reach that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39People try and make reproductions of ancient wood,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42furniture or objects like that. They can never do it.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46You cannot reproduce 100 years of use.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Something very special about that. - I like him. What is the price?- 135.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Oh, my goodness.- Oh, no.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- If you were a collector of nutcrackers, it's fine.- Yeah.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59You go find another one. If we're putting it in a general sale...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- we're in trouble. - OK. We'll move on.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09Never mind, Reds. Best to crack on.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Those spoons are nice.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Do you like those spoons?- I do, yes. - They're known as berry spoons,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25which were essentially tablespoons
0:10:25 > 0:10:29but they were specifically used for fruit, basically,
0:10:29 > 0:10:31or a compote.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Do you like those?- Honestly?- Yeah. - No.- No.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- They're...- We said we would be honest with each other.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40They're a rare hallmark.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43They're marked for Newcastle, which is very unusual,
0:10:43 > 0:10:44but that makes them quite expensive.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Do you like those? We didn't talk about porcelain. It is a pair.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- I'm not keen. What about you? - Not keen on porcelain.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- You're not loving these.- I'm not loving those, no.- They're going back.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Don't worry, they're going back.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07You seemed quite taken with those, Kate.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Maybe for the back-burner, eh?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Now, Mr H, I think your Reds may well need a bit of guidance.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Shall I show you some inexpensive bling? OK, tell me if you like it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So there we have a candlestick, a chamberstick.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26The kind of thing you would walk around the house with,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28particularly to go to bed with.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And there is your snuffer. Just before you go to bed,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34you snuff it out nice and safely
0:11:34 > 0:11:37and then there is your little hole to store your snuffer.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It may not be the original to it,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43because these things get lost, but I don't think it matters.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48- What do you think?- I like it, actually.- It's a pretty thing.- Yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- Now, what's it made from? - Silver plate?- Yes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55But I think it's Sheffield plate,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58which is the earliest form of silver plating,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and that was introduced in about 1740
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and is collected in its own right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06And that should be loose. That's your sconce. There you go.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So I think that's a really sweet thing, actually.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Let's ask the lovely lady. - What have I got on it?
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- £2.20.- Yeah(!) I wish.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15LAUGHTER
0:12:16 > 0:12:22- £48. 40. It's got to be 40.- 35?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- No. It's got to be 40.- You won't come down?- It's got to be 40.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29£40 for an object that was made all those years ago.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- We'll go for it then, will we? - Shall we go for it? Yeah!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- That's the first one that we've bought now.- Thank you very much.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- Thank you so much. Thank you. - Thank you.- Brilliant.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It's nice to get a purchase in, eventually!
0:12:42 > 0:12:47Exactly, David. You do realise you're against the clock, girls?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Nevertheless, that's one in the bag. Good going.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- That's quite commercial. - That's unusual.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56That's expensive though, isn't it?
0:12:56 > 0:13:01- It's 155 on that, though.- Is it? - It's nice though.- I like that.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06It's for a dressing and so it's meant to sit like that.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09It's meant to sit like that. It would take enough of the budget.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Well, we've only spent £20 so far.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16We like this but we've only got a small budget.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- So, could you do anything for us? - Yes. Of course I can.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Erm...
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- ..I can do 100.- You can do 100.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- It's different.- It's a good maker.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It's William Hutton & Sons, which is nice.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Always make nice quality things.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- Look at that! That's fantastic!- It's nice.- That's a real mark of quality.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41You can see the length of the cork, to make sure it fits really well.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- I like that.- You like that?- I do.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48The fact that the stopper is silver instead of glass is really nice.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50- It is quite a lot of money. - It's a lot of money.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- -- Can you do anything? - -- Yeah, I can.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- You can?- Could you do 80?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- I'll just double-check. - All right. Thank you.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- Pop that back up there.- You want to see what it looks like there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- We'll see what it looks like on the shelf.- How does it sit?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- It sits like that. - It sits right, doesn't it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It sits all right on the shelf.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11- I'll do it for 80.- You'll do it for 80.- Would you pay 80 for it?
0:14:11 > 0:14:16- I would.- You would pay 80? Sure?- Yes.- This can be Pat's item.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- All right.- Yes? How's that?- Happy with that? Going to go for it?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23And when my item makes more, that's absolutely fine.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- We'll fight it out.- We can do that. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- Thank you very much. Cheers. Thank you.- Thanks for your help.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34So, Pat has got the bottle and she might well need it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Look out, it's time for a showdown.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Girls. Who on earth are these two?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Hello!- Hello!- We've got two so far.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Have you? We've only done one. - Two items?
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Yes, we've got two items. - You see, you're rushing it!
0:14:49 > 0:14:54- My gosh, you're rushing it. - Bye, then.- Good luck. See you.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Well, that was all very civilised.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01But the Reds still need one item to draw level.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Let's all take a breather and scope out a little something
0:15:04 > 0:15:06I found earlier.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09As you know, on Bargain Hunt, I am for ever going into my pocket,
0:15:09 > 0:15:15fumbling around and coming up with a little magnification loop like this.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19It's what I need, it's a stock of my trade.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Because without it, I wouldn't be able to look at marks
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and maybe come up with accurate valuations.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28But what happens for those professional people
0:15:28 > 0:15:32who need to have higher magnifications
0:15:32 > 0:15:35and you haven't got time to be in the laboratory
0:15:35 > 0:15:39where you've got a great big bench microscope that will give you
0:15:39 > 0:15:44x40 or x50 or x60 magnification?
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Let's say you're out in the jungle and you're a botanist
0:15:47 > 0:15:52and you need to examine the cell structure on something
0:15:52 > 0:15:54that's just fallen from an equatorial tree?
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Well, you need a microscope that looks like this,
0:15:59 > 0:16:03which is called a pen microscope.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08Here is the scale, look. It says "x40, x50, x60".
0:16:08 > 0:16:11And you arrive at those different magnifications
0:16:11 > 0:16:15by sliding out this tube.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20This end is shaped rather like a fountain pen nib,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23except that inserted in this flange is a mirror
0:16:23 > 0:16:26and what that very cleverly does,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30when you approach the thing that you want to magnify,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33it allows the light in through that oval section
0:16:33 > 0:16:36and that light then goes through the lens and enables you,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40down the optic, to see at a magnification
0:16:40 > 0:16:46x40 or x50 times what you need to examine.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50It was made in Germany, which was the centre of the manufacture
0:16:50 > 0:16:54of all fine lens equipment.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00And it would have been made some time between 1910 and 1920.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I dread to think what the replacement new price would be
0:17:04 > 0:17:08were you to order one from Germany, but here in Peterborough,
0:17:08 > 0:17:13on one of the outside stalls, complete with its leather pouch,
0:17:13 > 0:17:18this little jobby could be yours for £45.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20I always wanted to be a doctor.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25So, we left the Blues feeling rather pleased with themselves.
0:17:25 > 0:17:31- But is all as it seems with Pat and - Martin? We're 23 minutes in.- We are.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36- We've got two items.- Yeah.- You've got one.- Really?- I've got one.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- I don't know about I've got one. My one's yet to come, Pat.- No.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Because, let's be honest, I don't like your item at all.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45That's your prerogative.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48So we'll go outside and see if we can find something big.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Time to press on. The Reds are on your tail.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- I quite like that.- Yes. Grab it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04That's rather nice, isn't it? So, we have four bottles.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- What are they for? - I would imagine perfume.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10That's well fitted, isn't it? Yvonne, what do you think?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- Yes. What are the tops?- Yeah, perfume. There's your glass stopper.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17They are very special. In a leather case.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Are they damaged at all?- Let's have a look. Anything missing here?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- I'm afraid one of the brass tops is cracked.- OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26But, you know, I think we can be a little forgiving.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29They've got the stoppers, well fitted.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I like the fact that they're brass.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I think that actually adds more of a manly kind of feel to it,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37so we can pitch it as something made for a man,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40which does increase the value.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It would have to be the right money. What sort of price is it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- The very best on that is 30. - 30. Well, I tell you what...
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- I quite like it. - For £30, if I was here on my own,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53this would be coming home with me right now.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Because if you went away for a special weekend somewhere...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58You know, if ever I could get a girlfriend, which would be lovely,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00I could take that with me, couldn't I?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04And I could treat her to a new fragrance every evening.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Or you could have two for you and two for her.- No, no. Four for me.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13- She can take her own.- Shall we go for it?- I rate that.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- Yes, I think...- It's a quick buy. Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- You're welcome.- Thank you.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21So, bottles seem to be the item of choice for both our teams.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24I think it's time for some fresh air, don't you?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28So, I hope you're not thinking of blowing loads of money, Martin?
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- I am.- Are you?- Something big, something expensive.- Right.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Something you're going to struggle to get into the auction hall.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- Really? That big?- That big.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I hope you're not expecting me to help you carry this.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- No, Pat's going to carry it.- Oh!
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I'm sure Pat is overjoyed with that prospect, Martin(!)
0:19:49 > 0:19:51MUSIC: "The Size Of A Cow" by The Wonder Stuff
0:19:58 > 0:20:00What would you use those for, then?
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- I quite like the lady. - She's rather nice, isn't she?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08Come on, teams. One item left on the list.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Time for a regroup, Reds, and maybe a time check, David.- Right, you two.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- I'm going to ruin your day.- Right. - Do you know how long we've got left?
0:20:18 > 0:20:22And do you know, bearing in mind how long you to take to make a decision!
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Go on.- Seven minutes. - Seven.- Oh, no!
0:20:24 > 0:20:27And you've got to buy one more object. How do you feel now?
0:20:27 > 0:20:31- BOTH: Panicky.- Good. Panic is good.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35It gives you the adrenaline to succeed. So come on, succeed!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Who are you rooting for then, Dougal?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- GRUFFLY:- Rrrreds!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The Blues are heading back inside.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Uh-oh, remember those vases that no-one liked?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Still not sure on those.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57So, these are French.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You can tell that because the porcelain is really glassy
0:20:59 > 0:21:01as opposed to English porcelain. Can you see?
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- You'd almost mistake it for glass, wouldn't you?- Yes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07They date from around 1900.
0:21:07 > 0:21:13They've got a lovely tooled gilt edge here, which is slightly worn.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15But not too bad, I would say.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17The best thing about them is the painting.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Yes, they're lovely, aren't they? - Because these are hand-painted.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- You've got a pair with different birds on.- So, they're not printed?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26They're not printed, no.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29I would say they are related to the Limoges factory which,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31of course, was one of the leading porcelain factories
0:21:31 > 0:21:35in France around 1900, which is when these date from.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Actually, even though they are an example of a traditional antique,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42where the market hasn't been so buoyant recently,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I think, actually, these are lovely.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- They've got them at 90. - Can we do it for 50, please?
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Yeah? We've got £50, yeah? - Yes, we'll go for it.- Happy? Phew!
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- We're there.- Thank you. Thank you. - Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Great. Thank you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04You look over the moon with your final purchase, Martin(!)
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Do you like that?- Yes.- OK.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Could we have a look at that on the counter?- Do you like it?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- I do like it. OK.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Very quickly, tell me why you like that.- I quite like the crystal.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Yeah. So, we've got an oak stand. - And how old will it be?
0:22:23 > 0:22:29Very late Victorian, Edwardian. Turn of the 20th century.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Very well made. I mean, it's a big, bold thing.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- It looks good on a big desk. - You've got it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40It looks, as a display piece, it looks good on a gentleman's desk.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42And fill it with ink
0:22:42 > 0:22:46because the little wells are tiny compared to the body of the crystal.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50If you get some blue ink in there and some red ink in there
0:22:50 > 0:22:56in front of a window on a desk with quills, it just looks beautiful.
0:22:56 > 0:23:02- What's the best price?- I've got 78. I said 68. As it's you, 65.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05- But that would be the limit. - £65. OK.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Do you think we'll make that in auction?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11I think the estimate might be 30 to 50, 40 to 60.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Listen, it's good value for money. - Shall we go for it?- Yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- I think yes.- Shake our hands then.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- Thank you.- You're welcome. Hope you do well.- Thank you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24No more clowning around as... time is up!
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I was going to say you two deserve a cup of tea but actually, you don't.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- I deserve a cup of tea. Come on.- Too right, Mr H.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32You have that well-earned cuppa
0:23:32 > 0:23:35while we check out what your Red team bought.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41It was the chamberstick first up. They paid £40.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45They sniffed out the cologne bottles next for £30.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51And the final deal was signed off. £65 for the pair of inkwells.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55- Now, Yvonne, Julia. You OK? Did you have a lovely time?- Yes, thank you.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Absolutely lovely.- Give me your news. Which is your favourite piece?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- I think the inkwells. - That's your favourite.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- And does your friend agree?- I think I'll go for the scent bottles.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- As a favourite piece.- Yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10And are the scent bottles going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12No, I don't think so.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17We bought a candleholder and snuffer made in 1830...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- It was William IV.- William IV! THEY LAUGH
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Fair enough.- So we think that might make the biggest profit.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- OK. And you think that too, Yvonne, do you?- Yes, yes.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- Super. And how much did you spend? - £135.
0:24:30 > 0:24:37£135. I'd like £165 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you very much.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- And then the six. - And then we've got some tiddlers.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43The tiddlers, handkerchief and a Polo mint!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- A small piece of salami and a conker!- Thank you.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Sounds like the perfect day out, doesn't it?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51A thrill for somebody anyway.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I've not wiped my nose on it, honest!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- THEY LAUGH - Excellent. Thank you so much(!)
0:24:56 > 0:24:59David, what are you going to spend all that cash on?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I'm going to spend it pretty quickly,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04pass on the lurgy to somebody else!
0:25:04 > 0:25:07This is where you are going to do the big deal. Good luck, David.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Now we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:25:10 > 0:25:16They took a punt on their first buy, the Totopoly game set them back £20.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Their second item was the glass oil bottle. They paid £80.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26And lastly, the pair of baluster vases cost them £50.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32- Well, well, well, well, well. That was good, wasn't it?- It was.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35What is your favourite bit, Patricia?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I like the little oil bottle with the silver top.- Right.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- What about you, Martin? - Has to be the horse-racing game.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It has to be horse racing.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It has to be because, to be honest, I don't like the other two.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49So, is the horse-racing game going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- It will. It definitely will.- No?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54You're not having a punt on that, Pat?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- No, I'm having a punt on the bottle.- On the bottle. Now, lovely.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- And you spent how much?- £150.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03OK, please may I have £150 of leftover lolly? Thank you very much.
0:26:03 > 0:26:08£150 of leftover lolly. Thank you. Which goes straight to KB.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Wonderful.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12So, what blissful object have you got in mind, Kate, for that?
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Well, I think it's fair to say that Martin felt slightly short-changed
0:26:17 > 0:26:21in that he was a little bit bamboozled by the ladies.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- So, I am going to hunt for a boy's toy.- Thank you very much.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27A boy's toy? OK, fine. Good luck with that.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Right now, though, it is time to take a trip to the saleroom.
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Well, we popped to Lichfield to Richard Winterton's lovely,
0:26:42 > 0:26:47spacious new auction room to be with the man himself, Richard Winterton.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- Good morning.- Good morning to you. I'm delighted to have you.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52It's a treat, I have to tell you.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Now, for the Reds the first item is a chamber candlestick in plate,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58which I would have thought is going to be a difficult thing to sell.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I agree with you wholeheartedly.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Would you not put that in a box of plate with about 100 other pieces
0:27:03 > 0:27:05and hope you might get £100 for a boxful?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08It is correct, which is probably where it's come from
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- because it doesn't all fit together. - This snuffer is wrong, is it?- Yeah.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14That doesn't help. OK.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16How much, then, on a good day, with the wind up its tail,
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- doing incredibly well? - We put 20-30 on it.- £40 paid.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Not a good start.- No.- OK.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Let's try and develop a decent smell about with the cologne set.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I like this. It's good quality and it's a nice little...
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Little gent's quality piece of equipment.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34What would you pay for that lot?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36We put 30 to 40 on it and it should get that quite easily
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- cos I think it's quite a nice thing.- OK, brilliant. £30 paid.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- That's a good buy. Good. - And what about the inkwell?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Two bold, proud, glass inkwells?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49It's the sort of thing that we would have every single sale.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51That's a really bad example.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54It's not great but I wouldn't call it "really bad".
0:27:54 > 0:27:58I mean, are these damaged? No. That looks pretty good to me.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00For my money, actually, £65 for that,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02which is what they paid, is not bad.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- Is it £60 or £80 worth?- No. - Oh. OK.- We've got 30 to 40 on it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Have you? Oh, dear.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12On that basis they're definitely going to need their bonus buy
0:28:12 > 0:28:15so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Yvonne, Julia. Are you standing by for this?- BOTH: Yes.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23You entrusted our man with £165 of leftover lolly,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25which is a considerable amount of money.
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- OK, this thing I got incredibly excited about.- Oh!
0:28:30 > 0:28:36- Until it arrived at the auction room.- Is it broken?- Yes!
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- Have we got the bit?- We've got the bit. I've got the bit.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42And it fits absolutely perfectly.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46And it could be glued. But I bought it in mint condition.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- I will remove that in case it falls. - But isn't that just gorgeous?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Do you know what it is? - Is it Chinese?- It's Chinese.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- It's hand carved stone and it's a brush pot.- What a shame.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02It's the kind of thing an academic, a studier would have on his desk.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06And the brush pot, the thing that would hold the calligraphy brushes
0:29:06 > 0:29:10for his writing, is an incredibly important piece of kit.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15It has... Or rather, it had everything going for it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17So, how old?
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- It is a 19th or 20th-century piece. - And what did you pay for it, Dave?
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- I paid £150.- He's paid £150.- Oh, no.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- And rating it as an object? - Rating it incredibly highly.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30The kind of thing that if I was to put into sale for a client,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I would say 100 to 200, 200 to 300.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34So, David, what do you think
0:29:34 > 0:29:37the salvage value is in its damaged state?
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Really, really difficult but I think, for me,
0:29:39 > 0:29:44I'd pay £100 for it, just as something you can learn from.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- £100 would be fine. - It's a learning curve, isn't it?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It's a learning curve, you are so right, Yvonne.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Anyway, why don't we now find out
0:29:53 > 0:29:57what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's little pot?
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Well, Richard, don't shoot the messenger but unfortunately
0:30:01 > 0:30:07poor David Harper's bonus buy has suffered some damage in transit.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11So, I have to ask you what would be your estimate on this
0:30:11 > 0:30:16reticulated Chinese, soapstone brush holder if it was perfect?
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Yeah, 80 to 120.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19And in those circumstances,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22your insurance settlement would be at the top estimate, would it?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- £120 with no charges.- OK, fine.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30We will offer the contestants £120 on this piece
0:30:30 > 0:30:33so that they have a credit amount of £120.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38Then, if they decide to go with it as a bonus buy,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40whatever amount it brings in the auction
0:30:40 > 0:30:44because we will sell it, will be added to the £120.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50Now, David Harper spent £150 on this in good condition before the damage.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55- What is your estimate for it in damaged condition?- 20 to 30.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58£20 to £30? So, there you have it.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02So, if it does really well and it makes £30 in the damaged state,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06that will equate to a total of £150.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Well, that parks the issue for the Reds.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11And moving on to the Blues,
0:31:11 > 0:31:16their first item is a little table top game called Totopoly.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17How did you get on with these?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Well, again, we would have a lot come through.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23We've gone 20 to 30 on it, hopefully we'll get somewhere close to it.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25£20 paid by Kate Bliss, so that's OK.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Now, we've got the oil bottle with the Sheffield silver mount,
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- 1938, always popular, these things.- They are.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Quite easy to sell but we've got them at 30 to 40,
0:31:36 > 0:31:41- might make 50 on a good day. I can't see it making...- £80?- Oof!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- That's a lot of money, isn't it? - Yes.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46OK, fine, well, moving on quickly from that, you've got a pair of
0:31:46 > 0:31:50vases which look like Minton but they ain't good enough, are they?
0:31:50 > 0:31:55- No. No, they're Continental. Quite colourful though, I agree.- How much?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- Er, we've got 40 to 50. - OK, £50 paid. So, that's OK.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59That's close enough.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03The thing that is going to let them down is the oil and vinegar bottle.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Which is a shame because it's a nice thing.- Exactly.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08But anyway, they just paid too much, I suspect, in which case...
0:32:08 > 0:32:12they're going to need the bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14OK, Martin, Pat, this is exciting.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17£150 you spent and you gave Kate £150.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Kate, what did you spend it on?
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Well, I've gone for the sporting gentleman's piece de resistance.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30What we have here is a little lapel pin in the shape of a pistol
0:32:30 > 0:32:35as you can see. It's silver-plated. It's made in Austria.
0:32:35 > 0:32:41But the most fantastic thing is that it fires which I think is
0:32:41 > 0:32:45a huge amount of fun and would make a cracking present for any
0:32:45 > 0:32:48sporting gentleman or lady actually.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Age-wise it's certainly a 20th-century piece.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55It's not an antique but it's a huge piece of fun.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59So...I was looking for something big and expensive
0:32:59 > 0:33:03and the bonus buy is something you're struggling to see on TV.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Martin, your enthusiasm is overwhelming(!)
0:33:08 > 0:33:10I think it's rather nice, actually.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14You can actually still buy little tiny caps which go inside.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- I might need that at the end of auction.- Oh, dear.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18I hope it's not going to point at me!
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Sounds ominous. - How much did it cost, Kate?
0:33:20 > 0:33:24How much did it cost? There's the thing. £80.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Did they see you coming?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Well, there's no accounting for taste, Martin, that's all I can say.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- Sorry!- And how much do you think it will make at auction?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36This is really a bit of a gamble piece I would say.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39It could make well over the £100.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- On the other side, it may make 40 to £60.- OK, lovely.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Well, we've got all the gen, thank you very much.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Thank you, Kate, but right now, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:33:48 > 0:33:50thinks about Kate's pistol.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Now, Richard, I know you're incredibly keen on little
0:33:54 > 0:33:58collectables, particularly relating to firearms. Give us your lowdown.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I'm lost for words, really, on it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03It...it doesn't do a lot for me, it's a bit of old tat.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Um, that's what I think of it.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09If it was a Victorian one, you know, they were very popular
0:34:09 > 0:34:10and really sought-after.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12This doesn't look very old
0:34:12 > 0:34:14and I really don't know what you do with it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18Well, I suppose you need to be a sporting kind of fiend, don't you?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Because it's a tie clip.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25So, I clip that over my tie - except I don't wear those ties.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28And all my people in the gun club would come up to me
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and say, "What a fantastic collectable tie clip
0:34:31 > 0:34:33"you've got, Tim."
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Just to kind of represent one of my interests.
0:34:37 > 0:34:42I'm not sure how many...pistol wielding in Litchfield we have...
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- No, quite.- ..for this particular...
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Well, fair enough. How much? - About £25, £30.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50OK, well, Kate paid £80 for it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52She's rated it and who knows?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55If it gets picked up on the internet there could be some buyer out there.
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- Let's hope so. Silence from this end.- Let's hope so.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Come on, Richard. Work your magic. It's time to rise to the rostrum.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0935. £40. 50. £50 down here.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13At £50 I'm bid. Yours at 50.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- Now, Jules, Yvonne, are you OK?- Yes, yes, thank you.- Is this exciting?
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- Yes!- Loads of people here, which is really nice to see.- I know.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Anyway, first up is the chamber candlestick and here it comes.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29The chamberstick. Commission bids are walking all over it.
0:35:29 > 0:35:385, 10, 15, 20, 5, 30, 5. £35. £35, top of five bids at 35.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43- 35, 35, 35.- Come on.- £35 room's out.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Internet's out. It's the commission bid so you can get it at £35.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- 35.- It was looking so good, wasn't it?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53It's more than his estimate, you were nearly there.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55That's -£5. Bad luck, girls.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00Four glass bottles in the leather case. £10 I'm bid. 15 I'm bid.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0215 I'm bid.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08- £20, 25, £30. 35, £40.- Oh, go on.- £40 I'm bid. £40 I'm bid.

0:36:22 > 0:36:26You clever thing, Jules. That's +£15, love.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Which means overall you're +10. Up next is the pair of inkwells.
0:36:30 > 0:36:38Again commissions are bid. £20 I'm bid. £20, 25, 30, 5, 45, 50.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- £50 I'm bid.- Go on!- £60 I'm bid. - Yes!
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- £60 I'm bid. In the room at 65.- Go on, yes!
0:36:45 > 0:36:4765, here at 65. £70 in the front here.
0:36:47 > 0:36:54- Yes!- 70 in the front. 70 in the front. All done. Sold at £70.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- It's yours, sir.- £70, well, that's marvellous,
0:36:57 > 0:36:58I'm delighted about that, kids.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00So, that's +£5.
0:37:00 > 0:37:05You are +£15. Nicely in profit. Now, the big decision.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08What are we going to do about this insurance claim job?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09You've thought about it a bit, have you?
0:37:09 > 0:37:14- Yes, yes, I think we'll go for it. - Yes.- You're going to go for it?- Yes.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16You're going to chance it? OK.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Well, that's the decision made then
0:37:18 > 0:37:22and just to clear it up you will get £120 worth of insurance claim
0:37:22 > 0:37:27and you'll pick up in addition what it brings now under the hammer.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31And it has to make 150 overall. OK, here we go.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33£20, £10.
0:37:33 > 0:37:38£10 to start me. £10 to start me. Anyone, £10?
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- £10, £10, £10. £5. - Oh, go on. £5.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47- It's an easy repair.- Any bid at all at- £5? Go on!
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I'm not sure we've never had a bid before. £6!
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- Internet's up at- £6. Yeah! - £6 I'm bid.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- At £6 the internet. Eight anywhere in the room?- Terrible, isn't it?
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Here at six. All done? £6 the internet.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03THEY SIGH
0:38:03 > 0:38:07£6. So, that's £24 off.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08You had +15 which means
0:38:08 > 0:38:13- now you are -9.- Oh, dear.- Oh, dear.
0:38:13 > 0:38:21- Nearly there.- A big hole.- Never mind. - Oh!- -£9. Oh! OK. Listen,
0:38:21 > 0:38:22it could be a winning score.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26It could, in Dave's terms, finish up by being a resounding victory.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29What's your normal victory cry? Yes!
0:38:29 > 0:38:34It could be a victory as Harper would say. Anyway, there we are.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- Now, Marty, Pat, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- Basically, no.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK, fine. But we don't want you to.
0:38:45 > 0:38:50- Um, you're very keen, Kate on these board games, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Ordinarily. So, you must have been delighted when Pat found this one.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Yeah. It was a great find. I think we paid a great price.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Anyway, the auctioneer thinks it's worth 20 to £30. You paid £20.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02They've got a lot of toys in this sale
0:39:02 > 0:39:04so, with any luck, it'll tickle somebody's fancy.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07OK, first up then is a bit of Totopoly.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09If you fancy a punt, this is it.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13The Totopoly game, circa 1950s, all the instructions with it,
0:39:13 > 0:39:17nothing on my book though, so £10 to start me. £10 to start me.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20£10 to start me. £10 to start me. Bid, internet, £10.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24£10 I'm bid. £10 I'm bid and sell at £10. At £10.

0:39:26 > 0:39:30It's internet's got it at £10. No more bids coming?
0:39:30 > 0:39:34At the £10? All done? Sold at £10.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39That is so cheap at £10. It's -£10. Here's the oil bottle.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41A little glass oil bottle. Bit of interest on this.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45- We're straight in at £30. £30 I'm bid.- Jolly well need it.
0:39:45 > 0:39:50- You're going to need it.- At £30 I'm bid, 32, 35.- Come on.- 35, 40.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Commission bid at £40. - I can't bear this, kids.- All done?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02Sold then at £40.
0:40:02 > 0:40:06-£40 - £10 = -50.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear! Dear, oh, dear!
0:40:10 > 0:40:12OK, here come your pots.

0:40:19 > 0:40:24- £15, £20, 25, £30, £30 I am bid. - 50... 50...
0:40:24 > 0:40:26£30 I'm bid. Second on my left at £30.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- At £30.- In great condition. - They're not bust, are they?

0:40:33 > 0:40:37At £40, the internet. At £40 the internet. £40 the internet.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41- Still hovering, you're going again. - Go on!- £40 bid. Not going to go.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44£40, hammer's up. Sold at £40.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48£40, that's a triple loss.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Minus £10, that rounds that it up, or down...
0:40:52 > 0:40:54- THEY LAUGH - ..depending on how you look at it,
0:40:54 > 0:40:59to -60. OK? So, what we are going to do about the brooch, then?
0:40:59 > 0:41:03In for a penny and in for a pellet? What's it going to be?
0:41:03 > 0:41:05I can't go with something that looks like
0:41:05 > 0:41:07it came out of a Christmas cracker, I'm sorry.
0:41:07 > 0:41:08You can't be doing it? OK.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13- And Pat, you're with the future son-in-law with this?- He's wrong.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17- If I'm wrong, then I'll suffer on the way home.- Oh, dear. OK,
0:41:17 > 0:41:20that is your decision. You're not going with the bonus buy.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22But we are going to sell it anyway.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23And here we go.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Now we go to the little, Austrian, chrome, pistol brooch there.
0:41:26 > 0:41:32Bids on the book £10 I am bid. £10 I'm bid, £10. £10 bid. 15.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34£15 I'm bid, £15 internet, 15.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37£20 internet. On the internet at £20. At £20 I'm bid.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Not shooting ahead, is it? - The room is out.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44£20 the internet, you are all out. Sold at £20.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- Oh, we got one right!- Well done!- £20, you made the right decision, there.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Anyway, -£60, could have been better today for you
0:41:53 > 0:41:56but it could be a winning score. Say not a word to the Reds
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- and we will reveal all in a moment. Well done, team.- Thank you.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Very, very, very brave, you've been.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- Well, teams, this is great. Have you been chatting at all?- ALL: No.
0:42:09 > 0:42:10Well, I can tell you that there are
0:42:10 > 0:42:12some similarities between you two teams.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Neither of you made any profit!
0:42:14 > 0:42:15THEY LAUGH
0:42:15 > 0:42:17That's the first similarity.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19When it comes to the bonus buy lark,
0:42:19 > 0:42:21one team didn't go with the bonus buy
0:42:21 > 0:42:25and one team did, and the team that did made the bad decision.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Anyway, there we are.
0:42:27 > 0:42:33The runners-up today, by a fair old chasm, are the Blues.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36ALL: Oh!
