0:00:06 > 0:00:09Here at soggy Ardingly,

0:00:09 > 0:00:12we're only a stone's throw from Gatwick Airport,

0:00:12 > 0:00:16which, believe it or not, once upon a time, was a racecourse.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20It even hosted the Grand National a couple of times.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Anyway, time's flying by.

0:00:22 > 0:00:27We've got to crack the whip, so let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!

0:00:57 > 0:01:00I hope our teams have got their marching boots on today,

0:01:00 > 0:01:02because they're going to need them.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07Outside, there's 150 acres and the top end of 1,500 stalls

0:01:07 > 0:01:12for them to have to scoot around with their £300,

0:01:12 > 0:01:15because this is the largest antiques fair in the south of England.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17How barking is that!

0:01:19 > 0:01:20DOGS BARK

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Let's take a look at what's coming up.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30On today's show, the Reds are working out their sums...

0:01:30 > 0:01:31£43.24?

0:01:31 > 0:01:33£33.62?

0:01:33 > 0:01:34- £49.76?- No-o-o!

0:01:34 > 0:01:35LAUGHTER

0:01:36 > 0:01:40..whilst the Blues are having a good work out.

0:01:40 > 0:01:43- Right, ladies, we've got ten minutes left.- Right.- Let's really scoot.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46- There's no stalls here, we're wasting time!- Shiny bits up here.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- That was leaving it quite close to the wire.- I'm so sorry.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Let's meet the teams.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53Well, we've got a great bunch today.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57We have a married couple for the Reds - Anne and Ray.

0:01:57 > 0:02:02And for the Blues, some chums. Renee and La Julia.

0:02:02 > 0:02:05- Hello, teams, how lovely to see you. - Hi.- Hello.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Now, Ray, you've been married for nine years.- Yes.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- And it took you a while to pop the question.- Yes.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13I met Anne when I was 17, 18.

0:02:13 > 0:02:18I came back from the sea, my father said there was this wonderful girl at archery,

0:02:18 > 0:02:21and saw her, I went down to Portsmouth, bought all the latest archery gear.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23I dated Anne for a year, she chucked me.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25- Did she?- Yeah.- Oh, gosh.- Terrible.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30And then, about 25 years later, I met her again and asked her to...

0:02:30 > 0:02:33- You were reunited?- Yes. - How lovely.- Yes, we were.

0:02:33 > 0:02:37- Do you still do a bit of archery? - No, it's fishing now.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- Is it? What sort of fishing do you like to do?- Most tropical fishing.

0:02:40 > 0:02:44- We go to Africa.- Do you?- Angola, Zambia.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47Gosh. So tell us about your life on the old ocean wave.

0:02:47 > 0:02:52I left school at 15, went to a sea school.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56At just 16, I flew out to Japan and joined my first ship

0:02:56 > 0:03:02- and spent my teenage and early 20s all around the Far East...- Yeah. - ..and Africa, America,

0:03:02 > 0:03:04and I've just spent the last 20 years on tugs.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08- And it's not just Ray that has the sea legs either, is it, Anne? - No, it isn't.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10- You go off in these boats too.- Yes, I do.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14We build our own boats, so we go off on that and we go round the island

0:03:14 > 0:03:16and we fish round our island, on the Isle of Sheppey.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20- What's the biggest fish you've ever caught, then?- A 75 kilo shark,

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- off the beach, in Namibia.- Did you really?- Yes.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24And how do you pull a thing like that in?

0:03:24 > 0:03:28Oh, with a lot of strength and a lot of power and a lot of patience...

0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Yes.- ..because it takes about two hours, normally, to get them in. - Now,

0:03:31 > 0:03:35the big question is, are you two going to be able to make a profit at this Bargain Hunting lark?

0:03:35 > 0:03:38We're definitely going to be able to fish out a bargain.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40You're going to fish out a bargain, I love it.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Well, let's hope you do hook up with something.

0:03:42 > 0:03:47Good. Excellent. Now, turning to the Blues, Renee. Are you French?

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- No, I'm not.- Oh. Oh, right.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52- So, excuse me.- You pronounced it so beautifully.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55- You reach for the skies, don't you? - Yes.- Tell us about your job.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59I'm an air stewardess, or cabin crew, as they call it now.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01- I've done that for 30 years. - Have you really?- Yes.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03And what sort of routes do you fly?

0:04:03 > 0:04:08I started flying on the short-haul routes and then decided to spread my wings.

0:04:08 > 0:04:13That took me to Australia and India and the Far East, Middle East

0:04:13 > 0:04:14and over to the States.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Now that I'm getting a little bit older, I decided I couldn't cope

0:04:18 > 0:04:21with the time changes so much, so I'm back on short-haul.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25- It must interrupt your body rhythm and clock terribly?- It does.

0:04:25 > 0:04:29You can go from east to west and you're flying in the middle of the night

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- and you don't know where you are.- No. But you still enjoy it, that's the main thing?

0:04:33 > 0:04:37I do. I love it. I get to see some fantastic places and meet some lovely people.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, Julia, you're good friends. How did you meet?

0:04:40 > 0:04:43We met through a postnatal group.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Our daughters have grown up together.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48- We've been friends ever since.- And you keep yourself pretty active?

0:04:48 > 0:04:53I do. I do jitterbug jiving and swimming

0:04:53 > 0:04:57and a bit of belly dancing.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59- Don't ask me to demonstrate, though! - No demos today.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, what sort of things will you be looking out for today, girls?

0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Maybe something pretty and shiny. - Oh, right.

0:05:04 > 0:05:09Retro and Art Deco and jewellery, maybe.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10- So, very eclectic, actually.- Yes.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Anyway, now the money moment. You get your £300.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15And the opportunity to shop, shop, shop.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Very, very, very good luck.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Gosh.

0:05:24 > 0:05:28It's a level playing field, as both teams limber up

0:05:28 > 0:05:31to take on the might of Ardingly Antiques Fair.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Coaching the teams along the way are our experts.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38For the Reds, hoping to serve up a big profit is Anita Manning.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43And Christina Trevanion will be going round for pound for the Blues.

0:05:47 > 0:05:52- Right, ladies, so what's our plan? - I think something that's not too specific,

0:05:52 > 0:05:54but maybe appeals to everybody.

0:05:54 > 0:05:59- What do you want to buy?- Oh, silver. Anything that catches my eye. - Quirky.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Vintage. Retro.- Much like us.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07- Art Deco.- Something that's bright. It's got to be yellow.

0:06:07 > 0:06:11She wants to buy something that glitters and something that's yellow.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14This isn't getting anything bought, is it? Let's get looking.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17Right, teams, I think that covers most bases.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25I want you to buy something that you fall in love with

0:06:25 > 0:06:27and that you absolutely love yourself.

0:06:27 > 0:06:32- You can leave me as little as £1. - I'm sure you'll find something.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Hmm...you might regret that, Anita.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38Now, the Blues are cracking on.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Shall we have a look at this guy? - Let's have a little look over here.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44It's got some nice quirky things, and I love it when I see unopened boxes.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47Have a good look in there. See if there's anything in there.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50What's in the box, then? What is it?

0:06:50 > 0:06:55- Oh, no!- Nothing.- Nice box, though. - How disappointing!

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- What have we got there?- Ah, these are quite sweet.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59So, these are Bohemian garnet-set earrings,

0:06:59 > 0:07:02and garnet is a semiprecious stone, not a precious stone,

0:07:02 > 0:07:04and it's one of the most prolific stones that we do see.

0:07:04 > 0:07:07They come in a whole range of colour, you can get pink, green.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10But the most usual one that we see is this lovely red colour.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13And they are eternally popular.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16They are usually set in silver-gilt, which is basically a gold plate.

0:07:16 > 0:07:20The key, really, is the fact that this gold coating hasn't worn.

0:07:20 > 0:07:21They're in really good condition.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24So, how much do you think they would make at auction?

0:07:24 > 0:07:28I would happily put these in with an estimate of 30 to 50, 40 to £60, if not slightly more.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32- I think they're really sweet. - They're lovely.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36- What have you got on those? - £40.- £40. For the pair.

0:07:36 > 0:07:39- Are you prepared to take an offer? - Oh, blimey!

0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Straight in there, girls.- Yeah, ooh! - Yes.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47- How about 25?- I could do 30.- How about...- 28? Split the difference?

0:07:47 > 0:07:51- Yeah, that's all right.- Are you happy with that, ladies? - We like those, don't we?

0:07:51 > 0:07:56- Happy with those.- Shall we shake the man's hand?- Yes, thank you.- Shake the man's hand, there we go.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Thank you very much.- Thank you, Steve.- No, thank you.

0:07:59 > 0:08:03- Brilliant, £28. Well done, ladies. - Good deal.- That's fantastic. First one down.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07- First one down.- Good bargaining!

0:08:07 > 0:08:12No messing, eh? The first purchase for the Blues, a pair of red garnet earrings.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Speaking of red, it looks like your rivals could be close on your tail.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17That one's better, don't you think?

0:08:17 > 0:08:22- How much is this one here?- 50.- 50? Is it gold?- Yes.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25- And that's a brooch.- Mmm-hmm.

0:08:25 > 0:08:30- What we see here is a pin, so it can be used as a brooch.- Yeah.

0:08:30 > 0:08:36- But we've also got a little loop here, so it can also be used as a pendant.- Mmm-hmm.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39And I think that's rather pretty. It's like a sunburst.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43With this purple stone.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46If you look carefully there, we can see that the seed pearls are there.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49- So, that's quite important.- That's good. Yes.

0:08:49 > 0:08:51This type of thing was out of fashion a wee bit,

0:08:51 > 0:08:57but I've seen in the salerooms that there is interest again in these items.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Have a look at it and tell me what you think and what you like.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02I think it's unusual.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06I think it would look lovely just on a black, or a mauve,

0:09:06 > 0:09:08because that will bring out the stone in the middle.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12- How much is this?- What's the best you can do?- 50's on the scales.- 50?

0:09:12 > 0:09:14- How about a cheeky 40? - I couldn't do it.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I'd put it in the melting pot for a tenner more.- Yeah.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19- £49.76?- No-o-o!

0:09:21 > 0:09:23I like your style, but no.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I tell you what I'll do this time,

0:09:26 > 0:09:30we'll start at 55 and you can knock me down to 50. How does that feel?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33- That's a good idea.- All right, then. - So, let's start again.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35- How much is that?- £55.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37- I'll give you 50. - We've got a deal.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Thank you.- Bye.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Thank you very much.- I'm not sure about your haggling skills there, Reds.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44But nevertheless, that's one in the bag.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50Let's go down the far side. So, we're one down.

0:09:50 > 0:09:55- Some silver cutlery, if it's solid silver.- How about red glass?

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Glassware, at the moment, we're finding, because, I suppose, it is

0:09:58 > 0:10:02so fragile, people are not buying as much glass as perhaps they were.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Unless it's a specific maker.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Let's keep wandering.

0:10:15 > 0:10:18The Reds are looking pretty as a picture.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20It's in the Art Nouveau style.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23And we've got a wee bit of enamelling there,

0:10:23 > 0:10:25- but it's not a period one.- No, it isn't.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27But it's definitely got the look there.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Right, come on, let's keep Bargain Hunting.

0:10:32 > 0:10:33Yeah.

0:10:33 > 0:10:36That's my line, Anne.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37See what else...

0:10:38 > 0:10:42Meanwhile, with the Blues, Renee, who will always be Re-nay to me,

0:10:42 > 0:10:46is having a slight team identity crisis.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Oh, red, I love red.

0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Isn't that beautiful?- This is...

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- What does it say?- It's very attractive.- Everything it will tell us is on its bottom.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57What does it say? Royal Dalton. And it's got a nice shape number on there, 1618.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- That's not the date.- Right.- It wasn't made in 1618.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04It's early 20th century. This wonderful glaze,

0:11:04 > 0:11:06they developed in the early 20th century,

0:11:06 > 0:11:09it's called a flambe glaze. And it really is just magic,

0:11:09 > 0:11:12isn't it, the way it swirls. That wonderful iridescence is just stunning.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15- The key to these pieces is condition.- Right.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18- It's condition, condition, condition. And if there is any kind of flaw...- Cracks.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21- ..then buyers will not even look at it.- Yeah.

0:11:21 > 0:11:24We've got a very, very tiny chip to the foot rim there.

0:11:24 > 0:11:28That's not necessarily that important, because it's on the base...

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- On the bottom.- ..so it doesn't affect the body of the piece.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33The neck, really, is key, as well, see if anything is restored,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35and, I think...

0:11:35 > 0:11:40So, what I'm testing now is just knocking the top against my teeth.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43And if it's... There's a slightly different noise,

0:11:43 > 0:11:46but it doesn't feel that hard, hard china feel on your teeth,

0:11:46 > 0:11:49then it might be that there's some restoration there.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52How many people do you think have done that, had that in their mouths?

0:11:53 > 0:11:56When you're in the field, you've got to use everything that you were given!

0:11:56 > 0:12:02- What are they saying there?- So, we've got £95 here.- £95 is quite a lot.

0:12:02 > 0:12:05It is a lot. If this came into my auction house,

0:12:05 > 0:12:08I would happily put 50 to £70 on it, any day of the week.

0:12:08 > 0:12:11It's a really nice thing, and there are collectors for it.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- What would be your best price on that?- I can do it for 85. - 85? Gosh, OK.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18We've got to stand a good chance of making a profit at auction.

0:12:18 > 0:12:21Is there any more that we could squeeze out of that?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23I could do another fiver, at the most. 80, really.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- £80?- It would have to be 80, I'm afraid.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- So, that is a sizeable percentage of your budget, ladies.- Yes.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31I don't think so.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's not like you to give in so easily, Christina.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Andy, I'm reluctant to leave the table without just seeing

0:12:37 > 0:12:39if there's any more flexibility on that price at all.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42- 75 will have to be it. - What do you think, Julia?

0:12:42 > 0:12:46- I think we should go and pay for it. I think so.- You want to?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Yes.- We'll live dangerously. - Oh, I like it!

0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I love living dangerously!- Take a risk.- Andy, you're a star.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Thank you very, very much.- Thank you.

0:12:54 > 0:12:59I love a bit of risky business, but now that's two red buys for the Blues.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01All very confusing.

0:13:02 > 0:13:06There are a few confused faces over with the Reds.

0:13:06 > 0:13:11Ray has become slightly attached to a wrought-iron Japanese cuirass and helmet set.

0:13:14 > 0:13:16- He's all ready for Arisaka.- Yes!

0:13:20 > 0:13:25- I mean, it's quite fun, isn't it? Not old.- Not old, no, no.

0:13:25 > 0:13:30- Do we like it?- I think it's cracking.- Are we going to consider it?

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- It could be on our wish list. - Possibly, yeah.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Could be on your wish list? - But it's not old.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Where was it, I mean, you have no history of this?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40No, no. It's for, like, re-enactments.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Yeah. - It's not authentic.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44This is the type of thing that would be used,

0:13:44 > 0:13:47perhaps, by an interior decorator.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- It could be a conversation piece on your dinner table.- Yeah.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54What's the very, very, very best,

0:13:54 > 0:13:58taking in mind that we're only buying it for a laugh?

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Oh!- Yes!- Well, we're not selling it for a laugh!

0:14:03 > 0:14:0745 is the best we can do on that for you.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09£33.62.

0:14:09 > 0:14:1440 quid and it's yours, we shake your hand. How about that?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Good man, well done. - No!

0:14:21 > 0:14:2435 and we'll have it now.

0:14:26 > 0:14:28Now you're getting the hang of it, Ray.

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Now, time to regroup, Blues?

0:14:39 > 0:14:42What's on your wish list for item number three?

0:14:42 > 0:14:45What would you not want to leave without?

0:14:45 > 0:14:47- What about a nice candelabra or...? - OK.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Do they fetch...- I think let's... - Everybody loves...- ..certainly keep our eyes peeled.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54- Yeah, I mean, candles on the table are nice, aren't they?- Lovely.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57And maybe we should veer away from red because...

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Ooh, the penny's dropped.- Good point.- And a red vase...

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- And we're the Blue team! - ..and we're the Blue team!

0:15:03 > 0:15:06A very good point, Renee.

0:15:06 > 0:15:07Time to trawl those stalls.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12And trawling is something the Reds are very familiar with.

0:15:12 > 0:15:18As keen anglers, they're looking quite at home with their next find.

0:15:18 > 0:15:21- So, you would keep your fishing rods in there?- Yeah.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27Transporting them. It's just that, these days, they're all nylon or plastic.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31- That's a lovely thing, isn't it?- It is.- It's a lovely item. I think so, yeah.- It is.

0:15:32 > 0:15:34I bet he's going to want a lot of money for that.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38- I think so, but there's no harm in asking.- Yeah.

0:15:38 > 0:15:41- How much? - The very best is 320.

0:15:41 > 0:15:42320?

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Yes, we shall walk away right now.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52Crikey, looking a bit green around the gills there, Ray.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54That's one whopper of a price tag.

0:15:56 > 0:16:00Now, how are those Blues getting on with tracking down the candlesticks?

0:16:00 > 0:16:04- A candelabrum is one.- Right.- And a candelabra is two.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Oh, really?- Do you know how I always remember that?

0:16:06 > 0:16:10- No, I didn't know that.- Bra is two, bum is one.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14Why, thank you, Christina. I'm not sure you're absolutely right there.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18Let's keep on looking, ladies.

0:16:18 > 0:16:22Well, here we are, we've got some candelabras, but they're not silver.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- They're...- Well, those are wall-mountable light fittings on there.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28They're £95. Apparently, they're from the Dorchester Hotel.

0:16:28 > 0:16:33Those might be quite fun, but...£95 is quite a lot of money, isn't it?

0:16:33 > 0:16:36But great provenance if they are from the Dorchester Hotel.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- They're very impressive. Hi there. - Hello there.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42These are rather intriguing. They've got Dorchester Hotel on them.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45- Yes, they had a very big sale.- And they sold off all the fittings?- Yes.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47- Have you got any sort of proof for that?- No, I haven't.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51- That's such a shame, isn't it?- No.- I mean, that just shows the importance of provenance,

0:16:51 > 0:16:55the importance of being able to place something. If I found these in my auction house,

0:16:55 > 0:16:57I'd probably put maybe £30 on them, on a good day.

0:16:57 > 0:17:03Oh, what a shame. As we all know, provenance is the name of the game with antiques.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07And with none, it can affect the value of things quite dramatically.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09What do you think?

0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Not for me, no.- Not for me, at that price. Definitely not.- Aww.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16- Sorry! I tried.- That's all right!

0:17:16 > 0:17:20Well, at least you've looked at something that's not red, Blues.

0:17:25 > 0:17:29- That's a rather nice one there. Is that dear?- That's a nice one, yeah.

0:17:29 > 0:17:36- This one, that's 50 quid.- This is cut crystal. And it's a wee bit unusual, because the shape is unusual.

0:17:37 > 0:17:42We've got the right stopper here, which is important. It's hallmarked silver.

0:17:42 > 0:17:43It's a nice shape.

0:17:43 > 0:17:45- I do like it, yeah. - What was the price?

0:17:45 > 0:17:4950 is the very best on that. I know it doesn't seem like I'm doing much

0:17:49 > 0:17:53- of a discount, but there isn't much on it.- 50, I can say to you that 50 is a good price.

0:17:53 > 0:17:57What makes this different is this lovely shape.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59That's a wee bit different.

0:17:59 > 0:18:03You've got the intricacy of the cut of the crystal,

0:18:03 > 0:18:06which takes it up a wee step.

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- I think, actually, it's very nice. - That is a nice item.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13- It's a nice ornament on a nice table.- It's quality.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15I'm never going to knock him down on the price,

0:18:15 > 0:18:18- and that's how wonderful that is. - Aye, well...

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- £38.76?- Oh, here we go.

0:18:21 > 0:18:25- No, 50 is the best. - £43.24?

0:18:27 > 0:18:31- £49?- No! No, that's too much.

0:18:33 > 0:18:36- £48.92?- God loves a trier, Ray.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40I'll tell you what, I'll do it for £49.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43I'll give you some on that one.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44- Yep.- Go on, then.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Hang on, Anne put that offer in at the start.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Yeah, but that wasn't your decision. That wasn't your decision.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54Oh, I know. The man had to make the decision. But, yes, it's lovely.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- Thank you very much.- I've heard that one before!

0:18:58 > 0:19:01Ah, marital bliss. Well done, Reds.

0:19:01 > 0:19:06With plenty of time left, you can head off for a cup of tea.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08Back in the Blue camp, panic has set in.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Right, ladies, we've got ten minutes left.- Right.- Let's really scoot.

0:19:11 > 0:19:15So, we've got some good marquees up here. Let's try and be really...

0:19:15 > 0:19:18There's no stalls here, we're wasting time!

0:19:18 > 0:19:23We can head up... Oh, that looks busy, shall we go up this way?

0:19:23 > 0:19:28Oh, eight minutes left, ladies. How about this lantern here?

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- That really is, that's lovely. - I think it's quite modern, though.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34OK, right, we've got five minutes. We really, really need to focus.

0:19:34 > 0:19:38Yes, let's get going. Anything that you like the look of...

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Oh, look at those.- They're very '60s and '70s.

0:19:41 > 0:19:44They are very modern, but you've got that sort of wonderful bark-effect

0:19:44 > 0:19:48- finish which is typical of the 1970s. You've also got a champagne bucket there.- That's nice.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Right, well, let's ask. Hello! - Hi. It's £30.

0:19:51 > 0:19:55£30, and how much is your champagne bucket?

0:19:55 > 0:19:57- The glass one?- Yes.

0:19:57 > 0:19:59- 20.- Right, ladies...

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Can you tell us anything about the champagne bucket?

0:20:02 > 0:20:05Uh, champagne bucket. I think it's about 1960s, this one.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09Yes, I'd say so. That wonderful effect finish. Which one do you want to go for?

0:20:09 > 0:20:11- I think there would be more use... - Tick-tock, ladies.

0:20:11 > 0:20:13I think, if you're looking for mass appeal,

0:20:13 > 0:20:16there's only one of those. Who wants just one light fitting?

0:20:16 > 0:20:19You're going to need at least two or three or four. If not more.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22Whereas that, you can use. We're seriously running out of time.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26- I'm getting quite stressed. Make a decision!- Julia, shall we?

0:20:26 > 0:20:32- Definitely, yes. £20? - Thank you ever so much. Thank you.

0:20:32 > 0:20:36Well, I've never seen Christina look so fraught. That was a close one.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40- That is heavy.- That was leaving it quite close to the wire!- I'm sorry.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Hey, we've had a lot of fun shopping.- Yes.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46- That's lovely.- I think we should go and toast ourselves and our bucket. - It really is.

0:20:46 > 0:20:50- I certainly need a drink. - We just need the champagne now.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55Beth put the champers on ice because...

0:20:55 > 0:20:58Let's stop fannying around, shall we, because time's up.

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Let's check out what the Red team bought.

0:21:02 > 0:21:07First up, they are pinning their hopes on the brooch. They paid £50.

0:21:08 > 0:21:12The reproduction armour was next up, with a price tag of £35.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Could there be a sweet smell of success for the scent bottle?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19It set them back £49.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24- Now, was that good fun? - Very good fun.- It was super fun.

0:21:24 > 0:21:26Which is your favourite piece, Ray?

0:21:26 > 0:21:28I think the Japanese helmet and armour.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31The Japanese helmet and armour. Do you agree with that?

0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Yes, I totally agree. - Even though I was covered in rust!

0:21:34 > 0:21:38Don't worry about that. It's called patination!

0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- No. I don't think so.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44What is going to bring the biggest profit?

0:21:44 > 0:21:47- The brooch, I should imagine. - Yes, the brooch, we think.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Did they agree about everything today, Anita?- No, we had a domestic.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- We had a domestic. - Did you?- Yes, we did.- Yes.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58Well, you have patched it up most beautifully, which is lovely to see.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01And an example to us all!

0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Now, how much did you spend? - 134.- 134.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09I'd like £166 of leftover lolly. Thank you very much, Anne.

0:22:09 > 0:22:11And there it is.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Anita, that is a lot of cash, isn't it?- It is.

0:22:14 > 0:22:18- And for Captain Raymondo I'm going to go for a nautical theme.- Are you?

0:22:18 > 0:22:19Well done.

0:22:19 > 0:22:24She can do as she pleases, and she will probably bring us a lot of pleasure while doing it.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26Anyway, good luck with all of that.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35Their first lot were the garnet earrings. They spent £28.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41Their second buy was the flambe Doulton vase, which cost them £75.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47And their last lot of the day was the 1960s champagne bucket.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49They paid a corking price of £20.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, how lovely to have a whole hour with Christina Trevanion.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Was it good fun?- It's been great. We've had lots of fun.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Which is your favourite piece?

0:22:57 > 0:23:01I really like the earrings, closely followed by the Royal Doulton vase.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04- So, you are hedging your bets, then, as your favourite?- Yes.

0:23:04 > 0:23:06- What do you think, Jules? - Definitely the earrings.

0:23:06 > 0:23:09Will they bring the biggest profit?

0:23:09 > 0:23:12I feel they will, followed by the Royal Doulton.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14What about you?

0:23:14 > 0:23:17I think the earrings. We got a good price, didn't we?

0:23:17 > 0:23:22- And how much did you spend? - We spent £123.- £123.

0:23:22 > 0:23:25I'd like £177 of leftover lolly, please. Well done.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28I'll just get it out of the tissue! There's a note.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31That is one note I can do without!

0:23:33 > 0:23:35There we go for the leftover lolly.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39Christina, you love this moment, because this is the moment you can trot off and find your bonus buy?

0:23:39 > 0:23:42Absolutely. We have gone for quite glamorous things.

0:23:42 > 0:23:47We have bought some good glam things, which I think match my ladies, so I might go non-glam.

0:23:47 > 0:23:50- What, basic?- Yes. A bit rustic. A bit like me!

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Expensive rustic, please. - OK, no problem.

0:23:53 > 0:23:57Try and spend the lot. No, I can't say that. Anyway, good fun.

0:23:57 > 0:23:59Have a nice rest up, girls.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02Meanwhile, why don't we go and look at some heavy metal?

0:24:09 > 0:24:12One of the lovely things about coming to Ardingly

0:24:12 > 0:24:16is the variety of outdoor effects you'll find.

0:24:16 > 0:24:22For example, this magnificent beastie. Do you like it?

0:24:22 > 0:24:26The only thing you need in your garden is a socking great tree.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29If you have got a socking great tree and you want to doll it up

0:24:29 > 0:24:33and you want to make a special feature in your garden,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36then this is the baby for you.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Or should I say bebe?

0:24:38 > 0:24:42Because if you look carefully here,

0:24:42 > 0:24:46it's got a sign, which is "Usine Sauveue Arras".

0:24:46 > 0:24:50That particular factory, the Sauveue factory,

0:24:50 > 0:24:53dates back to the early part of the 19th century,

0:24:53 > 0:24:58where they manufactured all sorts of casts and wrought-iron goods.

0:24:58 > 0:25:02If you sit in it, you would find it is extremely comfortable.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05One of the great things about it is the design,

0:25:05 > 0:25:10because if you look at the scrolling foot, called the cabriole in French,

0:25:10 > 0:25:13it finishes at something called a pied-de-biche.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16That is a biche foot. A cloven foot.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20Which makes it, I think, extremely stylish.

0:25:20 > 0:25:24Actually, the style of this thing is pretty well timeless.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28They made them in England in the 18th century out of reeded metal,

0:25:28 > 0:25:33and they are extremely rare and expensive.

0:25:33 > 0:25:37This one, I guess, was probably made around about 1920,

0:25:37 > 0:25:41but for an extremely smart garden, because not only have

0:25:41 > 0:25:44they wrought the iron, but they have then galvanised it.

0:25:44 > 0:25:50It has been hot dipped expensively so that it won't rust.

0:25:50 > 0:25:54Thus, you've painted it, it's chipped all over the place,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57but it hasn't rusted, because of the galvanising underneath.

0:25:57 > 0:26:02All these features add up to making this thing one of the best examples

0:26:02 > 0:26:06of its type, and that's why it's priced up here at £1,000.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08Ooh la la!

0:26:18 > 0:26:20How bizarre is this?

0:26:20 > 0:26:24We find ourselves in West London in Chiswick High Road Auctions,

0:26:24 > 0:26:28with our excellent auctioneer of the moment, Ross Mercer. Good morning.

0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Good morning.- Very nice to see you.

0:26:30 > 0:26:32We have got a mixture here, I tell you.

0:26:32 > 0:26:36From the sublimely sophisticated gold brooch

0:26:36 > 0:26:38to a reproduction arms and armour.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41- How's about that for a mix? - Everything for the weekend!- Exactly!

0:26:41 > 0:26:44So, the brooch first.

0:26:44 > 0:26:49- It's 14 carat and it's got a little amethyst.- It has. Beautifully made.

0:26:49 > 0:26:53Brooches aren't the easiest items of jewellery to sell.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57However, it is quite a pleasing shape, and with the younger buyers,

0:26:57 > 0:26:59they seem to be picking them up.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03- What is it worth, do you think? - We have said £100 to £150.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05- Whoopee! £50 paid.- Really?- Yes.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09That is not expensive when you think it is retail and in a fair.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11That is encouraging.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Now, this reproduction armour that is 17th-century style.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- It's got the look because it's rusty and dusty.- That's right.

0:27:19 > 0:27:24If you have a great hall at home or if you have children who want to dress up at weekends.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26It would be fantastic for children's parties.

0:27:26 > 0:27:29How much are they worth, the two pieces?

0:27:29 > 0:27:32- For those, we have said £50 to £70. - Right.

0:27:32 > 0:27:35A bit of a shot in the dark, really. We will see.

0:27:35 > 0:27:40I think the children connection is a winner, and our team paid £35,

0:27:40 > 0:27:43which again I think is incredibly cheap.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45I should go shopping with them!

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- £35, I tell you, for these two is something else.- It is.

0:27:48 > 0:27:51I am very impressed. So, well done, Reds.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54And Anita went strongly on this scent bottle,

0:27:54 > 0:27:58which doesn't really do it for me, but it's nicely cut.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01It is cut very well indeed. 1920s.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03Probably in a slightly earlier style,

0:28:03 > 0:28:05probably of ten or 15 years beforehand.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08- They are becoming more and more popular.- There you go.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12- How much for it? - We have said £60 to £100.- Good Lord!

0:28:12 > 0:28:14£49 is all Anita paid.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17So, three brilliant items, all with brilliant estimates.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21This team are not going to need their bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:28:23 > 0:28:28- Anne, Ray, got any idea what she bought?- No idea at all.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32You gave her £166. What did you spend the leftover lolly on, Anita?

0:28:32 > 0:28:36I had to get something nautical and I bought...

0:28:38 > 0:28:39..this.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41- It's a barometer.- Yes.

0:28:41 > 0:28:44Are you one of those people that taps it to see if it moves up or down?

0:28:44 > 0:28:48No, I just look out the window when I want to see what the weather is like!

0:28:48 > 0:28:50You are not supposed to tap them.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53What I liked most about this was this wonderful frame

0:28:53 > 0:28:57in the shape of an anchor and this rope.

0:28:57 > 0:29:01It is a Victorian barometer. It was made in Diss in Norfolk.

0:29:01 > 0:29:05There is a sort of naive quality about it, which I personally like.

0:29:05 > 0:29:08And I thought you guys might like it as well.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10You handle it first.

0:29:12 > 0:29:17- It's lovely, isn't it? - How much did you pay for this? - I paid £50 for it.- Really?

0:29:17 > 0:29:23- Do you think it will make much?- I am hoping to make a little profit on it.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26I couldn't have got it for anything less.

0:29:26 > 0:29:30An ordinary, standard barometer is a precision instrument,

0:29:30 > 0:29:32so you'll not get this type of thing cheap.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34It says it's very dry here.

0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Does it?- Yes. - I think it's raining outside!

0:29:38 > 0:29:41- They are not 100%, these things, are they?- That's lovely.

0:29:41 > 0:29:45We also have the maker's name here. This is Arthur Marsh.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48- So, that's another positive thing. - Is he well known?

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Yes, a good barometer maker.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54- Didn't she do well?- She certainly did.- Good. Thank you, Anita.

0:29:54 > 0:29:57Right now, though, let's find out whether the pressure is rising

0:29:57 > 0:30:01with the auctioneer and see whether he likes Anita's barometer.

0:30:02 > 0:30:05- This is a saleroom favourite, isn't it?- It is.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08And out of many of the items you have brought to us,

0:30:08 > 0:30:10- this is one of my favourites. - Oh, good.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13Generally, the condition isn't fantastic.

0:30:13 > 0:30:16Elements of woodworm here at the top, which is a bit of a shame.

0:30:16 > 0:30:20- And unfortunately, a very small break to the thermometer.- Oh, dear.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23However, the shape is going to prove very popular.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26It makes it a marine collectable, really, doesn't it?

0:30:26 > 0:30:30- What is it worth? - We have said £80 to £120.- Have you?

0:30:30 > 0:30:34Yes. And I think on a good day, that may creep up to being a little bit more.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36OK. Well, Anita paid 50.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39She certainly knows her way around an economical barometer.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.

0:30:42 > 0:30:49Their first item is the pair of Bohemian and garnet set earrings,

0:30:49 > 0:30:52which are in a lovely purple box, I have to say that.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- I can't say that that is contemporary.- No.

0:30:55 > 0:31:00- But they do offer the better end of costume jewellery.- £28 was paid.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03- What is your estimate? - We have said £30 to £50.- OK.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06- Well, spot on. They stand a good chance.- Absolutely.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09Now, this flambe Doulton stuff,

0:31:09 > 0:31:12is it out of fashion or in fashion at the moment?

0:31:12 > 0:31:16Certain shapes and figures are very much in fashion

0:31:16 > 0:31:18and command some great prices.

0:31:18 > 0:31:23To get that glaze is a very difficult thing to execute.

0:31:23 > 0:31:27- The nice thing is that it's in perfect condition.- How much, then?

0:31:27 > 0:31:31- We have said £80 to £120. - Wow, that's great. £75 paid.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33That is very encouraging.

0:31:33 > 0:31:38What about the ice bucket, which has got that frosted exterior, which is quite fun, isn't it?

0:31:38 > 0:31:41It's great fun.

0:31:41 > 0:31:44I think people who are chasing the 1960s style

0:31:44 > 0:31:46may want that for the summer.

0:31:46 > 0:31:50- Exactly. What is your estimate? - We have said £15 to £30.

0:31:50 > 0:31:52OK. £20 paid. So, they have done very well, really.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55And once again, I think the team may not need their bonus buy.

0:31:55 > 0:31:57But let's go and have a look at it anyway.

0:31:59 > 0:32:01Well, this is exciting, kids, isn't it?

0:32:01 > 0:32:04Christina seems to have gone out and bought a whopper today!

0:32:04 > 0:32:06You have got £177 to spend.

0:32:06 > 0:32:12- Let's find out...- Are you ready? - ..what she spent it on. Yes!

0:32:16 > 0:32:20I have never seen two people be so underwhelmed!

0:32:20 > 0:32:22I thought for a minute it said British Airways!

0:32:22 > 0:32:26I thought as we're the Blue Team, I should buy something blue for you,

0:32:26 > 0:32:29and there's a travel connection, with you being an air hostess.

0:32:29 > 0:32:33So, I thought travel, let's go blue, it seemed to tick a lot of boxes.

0:32:33 > 0:32:34Right.

0:32:36 > 0:32:38How old is it?

0:32:38 > 0:32:41I think probably the 1940s, with wear to match.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43Railwayana is very collectable,

0:32:43 > 0:32:47and I thought with the sale being on the website, it gets to that international audience,

0:32:47 > 0:32:49and people to love these kinds of things.

0:32:49 > 0:32:51Signage, railways, anything like that.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54So, commercially, they are quite popular at the moment.

0:32:54 > 0:32:59- And how much did you pay for it? - I paid £68 for it.- Right.

0:32:59 > 0:33:04So, at auction I would hope it would make £80 to £120.

0:33:04 > 0:33:08It is not in the best of condition, but it just shows it's got character, it shows it's got age.

0:33:08 > 0:33:13It's also not too big, so collectors like being able to fit quite a few in, don't they?

0:33:13 > 0:33:14Oh, yes, they definitely do.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17I suppose it harks back to a romantic time

0:33:17 > 0:33:20in railway travel, doesn't it?

0:33:20 > 0:33:23- I love that.- It's growing on me. It's growing on me.

0:33:23 > 0:33:28- Good. Do you like?- Yes.- Yes.- OK, fine. You have got the prediction.

0:33:28 > 0:33:32Hold that fond thought, because this train is about to leave the station.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37Well, Ross, I'm not going to cart it over, because it's a chunky old thing,

0:33:37 > 0:33:39but there it is, hanging on the wall.

0:33:39 > 0:33:42The British Railways sign. How do you get on with railwayana?

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Well, it's a little bit of an unknown quantity.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47It is a very passionate collecting field.

0:33:47 > 0:33:51So, we have seen those make quite a few hundred pounds in the past.

0:33:51 > 0:33:56But I guess you put it on the internet, you describe it accurately and wait and see what happens, yes?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59- That's right.- Light the blue touch paper.- That's right.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02Have you got an estimate of something on it?

0:34:02 > 0:34:07We have said £50 to £100, which I think is cautious.

0:34:07 > 0:34:13Christina paid £68, and she lives with a lot of hope, too.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16Like most of us. Anyway, good luck, and thank you very much.

0:34:17 > 0:34:24Can I say five? 25. 30. Five. 35 bid. 40. Five. One more?

0:34:24 > 0:34:26Selling now at 45.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Do you realise just how well you guys are going to do?- Not really.

0:34:29 > 0:34:32We are looking at a very positive result for you,

0:34:32 > 0:34:34based on the estimates, so let's see what happens.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36Here comes the first item. Stand by.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45- I can't believe that.- What are you going to do about the barometer?

0:36:45 > 0:36:48Are you going to go with it or just park your £126?

0:36:48 > 0:36:53- You want to go with it, don't you, Ray?- Yes.

0:36:53 > 0:36:58- Anne, what do you want to do? You've got to chop, chop.- No.- OK, no.- OK.

0:36:58 > 0:37:03He says no and he is a gentleman. He is following his wife and you are not going to go with the bonus buy.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05- Last chance?- No.- OK, fine.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Here comes the bonus buy, which we are not going with.

0:37:08 > 0:37:12- You are going to walk home if this goes!- Don't be silly!

0:37:44 > 0:37:45Now, listen.

0:37:45 > 0:37:49The big question is, is £126 going to be a winning score today?

0:37:49 > 0:37:51- It should be.- Hopefully. - But you never know.

0:37:51 > 0:37:54- So, say nothing to the Blues. - No.- OK. Thank you very much.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56- You are a couple of sports. - Thank you.

0:38:02 > 0:38:06- Now, team, have you been talking to the Reds?- No, we haven't.- No.

0:38:06 > 0:38:10- We haven't seen them.- You haven't seen them. That's fortunate.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14Now, the Bohemian and garnet-set earrings. £28 paid.

0:38:14 > 0:38:17The auctioneer thinks they are worth £30 to £50,

0:38:17 > 0:38:19and he thinks they are rather good.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24Stand by, then, because first up is your earrings, and here we go.

0:38:24 > 0:38:28The next lot is the rather nice pair of early 20th-century Bohemian

0:38:28 > 0:38:32gilt-metal garnet-set earrings. There they are. £30.

0:38:32 > 0:38:38- At £30 I'm bid. At 30.- Straight into profit.- Yes.- At £35, I have.

0:38:46 > 0:38:51At £40. All done? At £40.

0:38:51 > 0:38:56£40 is plus £12. That's all right. I am liking it.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58Now, flambe.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02The rather nice Royal Doulton flambe veined vase,

0:39:02 > 0:39:04and some interest in the lot.

0:39:04 > 0:39:09I've got a bid here of £50. At £50. But we're looking for more.

0:39:09 > 0:39:15Come along. 50 I have. 55. And five. 70. Five.

0:39:22 > 0:39:26Any further bids? Now is your chance to tell me. At £80. All done?

0:39:28 > 0:39:33Good, £80 is plus £5. That is OK. You are plus 17.

0:39:33 > 0:39:39The next lot is the 1960s moulded frosted glass champagne bucket.

0:39:39 > 0:39:41Please take it far from here at £10.

0:39:41 > 0:39:43Come on!

0:39:43 > 0:39:4715 now. £15 I have. At 15.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49Come on, come on, come on, come on.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51Come along, make it one more. At 15.

0:39:53 > 0:39:54No further interest?

0:39:57 > 0:40:01It's letting you down. It let you down.

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Minus £5, which means you're plus 12.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07So, what are we going to do, go with the British Railways?

0:40:08 > 0:40:10Shall we live dangerously?

0:40:10 > 0:40:11Shall we?

0:40:11 > 0:40:14- I think you look like dangerous girls to me.- Come on! We are danger.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17You are, really!

0:40:17 > 0:40:19They're going with a bonus buy, and here it comes.

0:40:19 > 0:40:23One of my favourite items, it's the rather fun British Railway

0:40:23 > 0:40:26- blue enamel sign hanging from one of the beams there.- Come on!

0:40:26 > 0:40:30There's got to be some interest, surely. Start me off. Got to be £10.

0:40:30 > 0:40:3210 bid. 15. 20.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34Five. 30 now.

0:40:34 > 0:40:36And five. 40. Five.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39At 45, 50. £50.

0:40:39 > 0:40:40Come on, internet.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Five now. 60, surely.- Come on!- £60.

0:40:44 > 0:40:4765. Going mad on the internet now at 65. 70!

0:40:47 > 0:40:51- Yes!- You're in. That pleased you!

0:40:51 > 0:40:53On my right at 75. 85!

0:40:53 > 0:40:57£80! This is amazing. Wait a minute!

0:40:57 > 0:40:58At £85.

0:40:58 > 0:41:02Done and selling now at £85.

0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Sold!- Yes! £85.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Well done, you lot.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10That's two or 17... That is plus £17.

0:41:10 > 0:41:12You clever thing.

0:41:12 > 0:41:17Yes, 17, plus 27, plus £29, look at that.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20How feeble would it have been to have missed that profit?

0:41:20 > 0:41:23- So, 17 plus 29?- Yeah. No. 17 plus 12 is 29.

0:41:23 > 0:41:27- £29.- Brilliant.- That is so cool, isn't it?

0:41:27 > 0:41:29We are really pleased with that.

0:41:34 > 0:41:37Well, you're a happy-looking bunch, aren't you,

0:41:37 > 0:41:40you lot? And why not? Isn't it lovely to be sending both teams home

0:41:40 > 0:41:44- with profits?!- ALL: Ooh! - Serious folding money.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46Ah.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48But who has got the biggest winnings,

0:41:48 > 0:41:50that's what we'd like to know.

0:41:50 > 0:41:53Well, I have to tell you that the team with the smallest winnings

0:41:53 > 0:41:55- are the Blues.- Aw!

0:41:55 > 0:41:59£29, though, is nothing to be sniffed at, is it?

0:41:59 > 0:42:02- It was a journey, wasn't it? - It was great fun.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06- Really, really good fun.- I thought the cabin staff were marvellous.

0:42:06 > 0:42:08Did very, very well.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11The railway sign was a wise thing to take, thanks to Christina,

0:42:11 > 0:42:13which is great, for £17.

0:42:13 > 0:42:14First-class result.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17But the winners today are going home with a massive amount,

0:42:17 > 0:42:19£126!

0:42:19 > 0:42:22£126!

0:42:22 > 0:42:26You would have made another £35 if you'd trusted Anita

0:42:26 > 0:42:27and gone with the barometer,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30so you could have gone home with more,

0:42:30 > 0:42:34but still, not to worry. Because you made a profit on all three objects,

0:42:34 > 0:42:36you're eligible to enter

0:42:36 > 0:42:39the Ancient Order Of The Golden Gavellers.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Thank you very much indeed. - Pin it on with pride!

0:42:42 > 0:42:43Looks well, doesn't it?

0:42:43 > 0:42:46- Yes.- Was it good fun?- It was super.

0:42:46 > 0:42:49Well, we've loved having you here. In fact, it's been tremendous fun,

0:42:49 > 0:42:52so join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting!

0:42:52 > 0:42:54- Yes?- ALL: Yes!
