Here at soggy Ardingly, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
we're only a stone's throw from Gatwick Airport, | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
which, believe it or not, once upon a time, was a racecourse. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:16 | |
It even hosted the Grand National a couple of times. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
Anyway, time's flying by. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
We've got to crack the whip, so let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah! | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
I hope our teams have got their marching boots on today, | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
because they're going to need them. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
Outside, there's 150 acres and the top end of 1,500 stalls | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
for them to have to scoot around with their £300, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
because this is the largest antiques fair in the south of England. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
How barking is that! | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
DOGS BARK | 0:01:19 | 0:01:20 | |
Let's take a look at what's coming up. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
On today's show, the Reds are working out their sums... | 0:01:26 | 0:01:30 | |
£43.24? | 0:01:30 | 0:01:31 | |
£33.62? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
-£49.76? -No-o-o! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:34 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
..whilst the Blues are having a good work out. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
-Right, ladies, we've got ten minutes left. -Right. -Let's really scoot. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:43 | |
-There's no stalls here, we're wasting time! -Shiny bits up here. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-That was leaving it quite close to the wire. -I'm so sorry. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
Let's meet the teams. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:50 | |
Well, we've got a great bunch today. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
We have a married couple for the Reds - Anne and Ray. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
And for the Blues, some chums. Renee and La Julia. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
-Hello, teams, how lovely to see you. -Hi. -Hello. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:05 | |
-Now, Ray, you've been married for nine years. -Yes. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-And it took you a while to pop the question. -Yes. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
I met Anne when I was 17, 18. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
I came back from the sea, my father said there was this wonderful girl at archery, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
and saw her, I went down to Portsmouth, bought all the latest archery gear. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
I dated Anne for a year, she chucked me. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
-Did she? -Yeah. -Oh, gosh. -Terrible. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
And then, about 25 years later, I met her again and asked her to... | 0:02:25 | 0:02:30 | |
-You were reunited? -Yes. -How lovely. -Yes, we were. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:33 | |
-Do you still do a bit of archery? -No, it's fishing now. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
-Is it? What sort of fishing do you like to do? -Most tropical fishing. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
-We go to Africa. -Do you? -Angola, Zambia. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
Gosh. So tell us about your life on the old ocean wave. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
I left school at 15, went to a sea school. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
At just 16, I flew out to Japan and joined my first ship | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-and spent my teenage and early 20s all around the Far East... -Yeah. -..and Africa, America, | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
and I've just spent the last 20 years on tugs. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:04 | |
-And it's not just Ray that has the sea legs either, is it, Anne? -No, it isn't. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
-You go off in these boats too. -Yes, I do. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
We build our own boats, so we go off on that and we go round the island | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
and we fish round our island, on the Isle of Sheppey. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
-What's the biggest fish you've ever caught, then? -A 75 kilo shark, | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
-off the beach, in Namibia. -Did you really? -Yes. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
And how do you pull a thing like that in? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
Oh, with a lot of strength and a lot of power and a lot of patience... | 0:03:24 | 0:03:28 | |
-Yes. -..because it takes about two hours, normally, to get them in. -Now, | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
the big question is, are you two going to be able to make a profit at this Bargain Hunting lark? | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
We're definitely going to be able to fish out a bargain. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
You're going to fish out a bargain, I love it. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Well, let's hope you do hook up with something. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
Good. Excellent. Now, turning to the Blues, Renee. Are you French? | 0:03:42 | 0:03:47 | |
-No, I'm not. -Oh. Oh, right. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
-So, excuse me. -You pronounced it so beautifully. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-You reach for the skies, don't you? -Yes. -Tell us about your job. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
I'm an air stewardess, or cabin crew, as they call it now. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
-I've done that for 30 years. -Have you really? -Yes. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:01 | |
And what sort of routes do you fly? | 0:04:01 | 0:04:03 | |
I started flying on the short-haul routes and then decided to spread my wings. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:08 | |
That took me to Australia and India and the Far East, Middle East | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
and over to the States. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:14 | |
Now that I'm getting a little bit older, I decided I couldn't cope | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
with the time changes so much, so I'm back on short-haul. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-It must interrupt your body rhythm and clock terribly? -It does. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
You can go from east to west and you're flying in the middle of the night | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-and you don't know where you are. -No. But you still enjoy it, that's the main thing? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
I do. I love it. I get to see some fantastic places and meet some lovely people. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
Now, Julia, you're good friends. How did you meet? | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
We met through a postnatal group. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Our daughters have grown up together. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:45 | |
-We've been friends ever since. -And you keep yourself pretty active? | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
I do. I do jitterbug jiving and swimming | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
and a bit of belly dancing. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-Don't ask me to demonstrate, though! -No demos today. | 0:04:57 | 0:04:59 | |
So, what sort of things will you be looking out for today, girls? | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-Maybe something pretty and shiny. -Oh, right. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
Retro and Art Deco and jewellery, maybe. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
-So, very eclectic, actually. -Yes. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:10 | |
Anyway, now the money moment. You get your £300. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
And the opportunity to shop, shop, shop. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go! | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
Very, very, very good luck. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:21 | |
Gosh. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
It's a level playing field, as both teams limber up | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
to take on the might of Ardingly Antiques Fair. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
Coaching the teams along the way are our experts. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
For the Reds, hoping to serve up a big profit is Anita Manning. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
And Christina Trevanion will be going round for pound for the Blues. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
-Right, ladies, so what's our plan? -I think something that's not too specific, | 0:05:47 | 0:05:52 | |
but maybe appeals to everybody. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:54 | |
-What do you want to buy? -Oh, silver. Anything that catches my eye. -Quirky. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
-Vintage. Retro. -Much like us. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
-Art Deco. -Something that's bright. It's got to be yellow. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
She wants to buy something that glitters and something that's yellow. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
This isn't getting anything bought, is it? Let's get looking. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Right, teams, I think that covers most bases. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
I want you to buy something that you fall in love with | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
and that you absolutely love yourself. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
-You can leave me as little as £1. -I'm sure you'll find something. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:32 | |
Hmm...you might regret that, Anita. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
Now, the Blues are cracking on. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
-Shall we have a look at this guy? -Let's have a little look over here. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
It's got some nice quirky things, and I love it when I see unopened boxes. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
Have a good look in there. See if there's anything in there. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
What's in the box, then? What is it? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
-Oh, no! -Nothing. -Nice box, though. -How disappointing! | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
-What have we got there? -Ah, these are quite sweet. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
So, these are Bohemian garnet-set earrings, | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
and garnet is a semiprecious stone, not a precious stone, | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
and it's one of the most prolific stones that we do see. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
They come in a whole range of colour, you can get pink, green. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
But the most usual one that we see is this lovely red colour. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
And they are eternally popular. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
They are usually set in silver-gilt, which is basically a gold plate. | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
The key, really, is the fact that this gold coating hasn't worn. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
They're in really good condition. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:21 | |
So, how much do you think they would make at auction? | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
I would happily put these in with an estimate of 30 to 50, 40 to £60, if not slightly more. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
-I think they're really sweet. -They're lovely. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-What have you got on those? -£40. -£40. For the pair. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:36 | |
-Are you prepared to take an offer? -Oh, blimey! | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
-Straight in there, girls. -Yeah, ooh! -Yes. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-How about 25? -I could do 30. -How about... -28? Split the difference? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:47 | |
-Yeah, that's all right. -Are you happy with that, ladies? -We like those, don't we? | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-Happy with those. -Shall we shake the man's hand? -Yes, thank you. -Shake the man's hand, there we go. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you, Steve. -No, thank you. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-Brilliant, £28. Well done, ladies. -Good deal. -That's fantastic. First one down. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
-First one down. -Good bargaining! | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
No messing, eh? The first purchase for the Blues, a pair of red garnet earrings. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
Speaking of red, it looks like your rivals could be close on your tail. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
That one's better, don't you think? | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-How much is this one here? -50. -50? Is it gold? -Yes. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
-And that's a brooch. -Mmm-hmm. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:25 | |
-What we see here is a pin, so it can be used as a brooch. -Yeah. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
-But we've also got a little loop here, so it can also be used as a pendant. -Mmm-hmm. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:36 | |
And I think that's rather pretty. It's like a sunburst. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
With this purple stone. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
If you look carefully there, we can see that the seed pearls are there. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-So, that's quite important. -That's good. Yes. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
This type of thing was out of fashion a wee bit, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
but I've seen in the salerooms that there is interest again in these items. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
Have a look at it and tell me what you think and what you like. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
I think it's unusual. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
I think it would look lovely just on a black, or a mauve, | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
because that will bring out the stone in the middle. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
-How much is this? -What's the best you can do? -50's on the scales. -50? | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
- How about a cheeky 40? - I couldn't do it. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
-I'd put it in the melting pot for a tenner more. -Yeah. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
-£49.76? -No-o-o! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
I like your style, but no. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
I tell you what I'll do this time, | 0:09:23 | 0:09:26 | |
we'll start at 55 and you can knock me down to 50. How does that feel? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
-That's a good idea. -All right, then. -So, let's start again. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:33 | |
-How much is that? -£55. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
- I'll give you 50. - We've got a deal. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:37 | |
-Thank you. -Bye. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
-Thank you very much. -I'm not sure about your haggling skills there, Reds. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
But nevertheless, that's one in the bag. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
Let's go down the far side. So, we're one down. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
-Some silver cutlery, if it's solid silver. -How about red glass? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:55 | |
Glassware, at the moment, we're finding, because, I suppose, it is | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
so fragile, people are not buying as much glass as perhaps they were. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
Unless it's a specific maker. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Let's keep wandering. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
The Reds are looking pretty as a picture. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
It's in the Art Nouveau style. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
And we've got a wee bit of enamelling there, | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
-but it's not a period one. -No, it isn't. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
But it's definitely got the look there. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Right, come on, let's keep Bargain Hunting. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
Yeah. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:33 | |
That's my line, Anne. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:36 | |
See what else... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:37 | |
Meanwhile, with the Blues, Renee, who will always be Re-nay to me, | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
is having a slight team identity crisis. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:46 | |
Oh, red, I love red. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:47 | |
-Isn't that beautiful? -This is... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
-What does it say? -It's very attractive. -Everything it will tell us is on its bottom. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:54 | |
What does it say? Royal Dalton. And it's got a nice shape number on there, 1618. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
-That's not the date. -Right. -It wasn't made in 1618. | 0:10:57 | 0:11:01 | |
It's early 20th century. This wonderful glaze, | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
they developed in the early 20th century, | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
it's called a flambe glaze. And it really is just magic, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
isn't it, the way it swirls. That wonderful iridescence is just stunning. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-The key to these pieces is condition. -Right. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-It's condition, condition, condition. And if there is any kind of flaw... -Cracks. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-..then buyers will not even look at it. -Yeah. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
We've got a very, very tiny chip to the foot rim there. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
That's not necessarily that important, because it's on the base... | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-On the bottom. -..so it doesn't affect the body of the piece. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
The neck, really, is key, as well, see if anything is restored, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
and, I think... | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
So, what I'm testing now is just knocking the top against my teeth. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
And if it's... There's a slightly different noise, | 0:11:40 | 0:11:43 | |
but it doesn't feel that hard, hard china feel on your teeth, | 0:11:43 | 0:11:46 | |
then it might be that there's some restoration there. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
How many people do you think have done that, had that in their mouths? | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
When you're in the field, you've got to use everything that you were given! | 0:11:53 | 0:11:56 | |
-What are they saying there? -So, we've got £95 here. -£95 is quite a lot. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:02 | |
It is a lot. If this came into my auction house, | 0:12:02 | 0:12:05 | |
I would happily put 50 to £70 on it, any day of the week. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
It's a really nice thing, and there are collectors for it. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-What would be your best price on that? -I can do it for 85. -85? Gosh, OK. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
We've got to stand a good chance of making a profit at auction. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Is there any more that we could squeeze out of that? | 0:12:18 | 0:12:21 | |
I could do another fiver, at the most. 80, really. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
-£80? -It would have to be 80, I'm afraid. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-So, that is a sizeable percentage of your budget, ladies. -Yes. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
I don't think so. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
It's not like you to give in so easily, Christina. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Andy, I'm reluctant to leave the table without just seeing | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
if there's any more flexibility on that price at all. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:39 | |
- 75 will have to be it. - What do you think, Julia? | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-I think we should go and pay for it. I think so. -You want to? | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
-Yes. -We'll live dangerously. -Oh, I like it! | 0:12:46 | 0:12:49 | |
-I love living dangerously! -Take a risk. -Andy, you're a star. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
-Thank you very, very much. -Thank you. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
I love a bit of risky business, but now that's two red buys for the Blues. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
All very confusing. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
There are a few confused faces over with the Reds. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
Ray has become slightly attached to a wrought-iron Japanese cuirass and helmet set. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
-He's all ready for Arisaka. -Yes! | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
-I mean, it's quite fun, isn't it? Not old. -Not old, no, no. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:25 | |
-Do we like it? -I think it's cracking. -Are we going to consider it? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
-It could be on our wish list. -Possibly, yeah. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
-Could be on your wish list? -But it's not old. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
Where was it, I mean, you have no history of this? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
No, no. It's for, like, re-enactments. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
- Yeah. - It's not authentic. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
This is the type of thing that would be used, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
perhaps, by an interior decorator. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-It could be a conversation piece on your dinner table. -Yeah. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
What's the very, very, very best, | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
taking in mind that we're only buying it for a laugh? | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
-Oh! -Yes! -Well, we're not selling it for a laugh! | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
45 is the best we can do on that for you. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
£33.62. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
40 quid and it's yours, we shake your hand. How about that? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
- Good man, well done. - No! | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
35 and we'll have it now. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:24 | |
Now you're getting the hang of it, Ray. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:28 | |
Now, time to regroup, Blues? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
What's on your wish list for item number three? | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
What would you not want to leave without? | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
-What about a nice candelabra or...? -OK. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:47 | |
-Do they fetch... -I think let's... -Everybody loves... -..certainly keep our eyes peeled. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:51 | |
-Yeah, I mean, candles on the table are nice, aren't they? -Lovely. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
And maybe we should veer away from red because... | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-Ooh, the penny's dropped. -Good point. -And a red vase... | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
-And we're the Blue team! -..and we're the Blue team! | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
A very good point, Renee. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:06 | |
Time to trawl those stalls. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:07 | |
And trawling is something the Reds are very familiar with. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
As keen anglers, they're looking quite at home with their next find. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
-So, you would keep your fishing rods in there? -Yeah. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Transporting them. It's just that, these days, they're all nylon or plastic. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:27 | |
-That's a lovely thing, isn't it? -It is. -It's a lovely item. I think so, yeah. -It is. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
I bet he's going to want a lot of money for that. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
-I think so, but there's no harm in asking. -Yeah. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:38 | |
- How much? - The very best is 320. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
320? | 0:15:41 | 0:15:42 | |
Yes, we shall walk away right now. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:46 | |
Crikey, looking a bit green around the gills there, Ray. | 0:15:49 | 0:15:52 | |
That's one whopper of a price tag. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
Now, how are those Blues getting on with tracking down the candlesticks? | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
-A candelabrum is one. -Right. -And a candelabra is two. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
-Oh, really? -Do you know how I always remember that? | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
-No, I didn't know that. -Bra is two, bum is one. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:10 | |
Why, thank you, Christina. I'm not sure you're absolutely right there. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
Let's keep on looking, ladies. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
Well, here we are, we've got some candelabras, but they're not silver. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:22 | |
-They're... -Well, those are wall-mountable light fittings on there. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:25 | |
They're £95. Apparently, they're from the Dorchester Hotel. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
Those might be quite fun, but...£95 is quite a lot of money, isn't it? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:33 | |
But great provenance if they are from the Dorchester Hotel. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
-They're very impressive. Hi there. -Hello there. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
These are rather intriguing. They've got Dorchester Hotel on them. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
-Yes, they had a very big sale. -And they sold off all the fittings? -Yes. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
-Have you got any sort of proof for that? -No, I haven't. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-That's such a shame, isn't it? -No. -I mean, that just shows the importance of provenance, | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
the importance of being able to place something. If I found these in my auction house, | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
I'd probably put maybe £30 on them, on a good day. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
Oh, what a shame. As we all know, provenance is the name of the game with antiques. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:03 | |
And with none, it can affect the value of things quite dramatically. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
What do you think? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
-Not for me, no. -Not for me, at that price. Definitely not. -Aww. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-Sorry! I tried. -That's all right! | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
Well, at least you've looked at something that's not red, Blues. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:20 | |
-That's a rather nice one there. Is that dear? -That's a nice one, yeah. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:29 | |
-This one, that's 50 quid. -This is cut crystal. And it's a wee bit unusual, because the shape is unusual. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:36 | |
We've got the right stopper here, which is important. It's hallmarked silver. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
It's a nice shape. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:43 | |
-I do like it, yeah. -What was the price? | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
50 is the very best on that. I know it doesn't seem like I'm doing much | 0:17:45 | 0:17:49 | |
-of a discount, but there isn't much on it. -50, I can say to you that 50 is a good price. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
What makes this different is this lovely shape. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
That's a wee bit different. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
You've got the intricacy of the cut of the crystal, | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
which takes it up a wee step. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
-I think, actually, it's very nice. -That is a nice item. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
-It's a nice ornament on a nice table. -It's quality. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
I'm never going to knock him down on the price, | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
-and that's how wonderful that is. -Aye, well... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
-£38.76? -Oh, here we go. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
- No, 50 is the best. - £43.24? | 0:18:21 | 0:18:25 | |
-£49? -No! No, that's too much. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-£48.92? -God loves a trier, Ray. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
I'll tell you what, I'll do it for £49. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
I'll give you some on that one. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:43 | |
-Yep. -Go on, then. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
Hang on, Anne put that offer in at the start. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:48 | |
Yeah, but that wasn't your decision. That wasn't your decision. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
Oh, I know. The man had to make the decision. But, yes, it's lovely. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-Thank you very much. -I've heard that one before! | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
Ah, marital bliss. Well done, Reds. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:01 | |
With plenty of time left, you can head off for a cup of tea. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
Back in the Blue camp, panic has set in. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
-Right, ladies, we've got ten minutes left. -Right. -Let's really scoot. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
So, we've got some good marquees up here. Let's try and be really... | 0:19:11 | 0:19:15 | |
There's no stalls here, we're wasting time! | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
We can head up... Oh, that looks busy, shall we go up this way? | 0:19:18 | 0:19:23 | |
Oh, eight minutes left, ladies. How about this lantern here? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
-That really is, that's lovely. -I think it's quite modern, though. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
OK, right, we've got five minutes. We really, really need to focus. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
Yes, let's get going. Anything that you like the look of... | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-Oh, look at those. -They're very '60s and '70s. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
They are very modern, but you've got that sort of wonderful bark-effect | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
-finish which is typical of the 1970s. You've also got a champagne bucket there. -That's nice. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
-Right, well, let's ask. Hello! -Hi. It's £30. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
£30, and how much is your champagne bucket? | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
-The glass one? -Yes. | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-20. -Right, ladies... | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
Can you tell us anything about the champagne bucket? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
Uh, champagne bucket. I think it's about 1960s, this one. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:05 | |
Yes, I'd say so. That wonderful effect finish. Which one do you want to go for? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:09 | |
-I think there would be more use... -Tick-tock, ladies. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
I think, if you're looking for mass appeal, | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
there's only one of those. Who wants just one light fitting? | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
You're going to need at least two or three or four. If not more. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
Whereas that, you can use. We're seriously running out of time. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-I'm getting quite stressed. Make a decision! -Julia, shall we? | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-Definitely, yes. £20? -Thank you ever so much. Thank you. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
Well, I've never seen Christina look so fraught. That was a close one. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-That is heavy. -That was leaving it quite close to the wire! -I'm sorry. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
-Hey, we've had a lot of fun shopping. -Yes. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
-That's lovely. -I think we should go and toast ourselves and our bucket. -It really is. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:46 | |
-I certainly need a drink. -We just need the champagne now. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
Beth put the champers on ice because... | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
Let's stop fannying around, shall we, because time's up. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
Let's check out what the Red team bought. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
First up, they are pinning their hopes on the brooch. They paid £50. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
The reproduction armour was next up, with a price tag of £35. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
Could there be a sweet smell of success for the scent bottle? | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
It set them back £49. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
-Now, was that good fun? -Very good fun. -It was super fun. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Which is your favourite piece, Ray? | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
I think the Japanese helmet and armour. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
The Japanese helmet and armour. Do you agree with that? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:31 | |
-Yes, I totally agree. -Even though I was covered in rust! | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
Don't worry about that. It's called patination! | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-Is that going to bring the biggest profit? -No. I don't think so. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
What is going to bring the biggest profit? | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-The brooch, I should imagine. -Yes, the brooch, we think. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
-Did they agree about everything today, Anita? -No, we had a domestic. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
-We had a domestic. -Did you? -Yes, we did. -Yes. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
Well, you have patched it up most beautifully, which is lovely to see. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
And an example to us all! | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-Now, how much did you spend? -134. -134. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:05 | |
I'd like £166 of leftover lolly. Thank you very much, Anne. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
And there it is. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
-Anita, that is a lot of cash, isn't it? -It is. | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
-And for Captain Raymondo I'm going to go for a nautical theme. -Are you? | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
Well done. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:19 | |
She can do as she pleases, and she will probably bring us a lot of pleasure while doing it. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
Anyway, good luck with all of that. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
Meanwhile, we're going to check out what the Blue team bought. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
Their first lot were the garnet earrings. They spent £28. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
Their second buy was the flambe Doulton vase, which cost them £75. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:41 | |
And their last lot of the day was the 1960s champagne bucket. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
They paid a corking price of £20. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
Well, how lovely to have a whole hour with Christina Trevanion. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:52 | |
-Was it good fun? -It's been great. We've had lots of fun. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
Which is your favourite piece? | 0:22:55 | 0:22:57 | |
I really like the earrings, closely followed by the Royal Doulton vase. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
-So, you are hedging your bets, then, as your favourite? -Yes. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-What do you think, Jules? -Definitely the earrings. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
Will they bring the biggest profit? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:09 | |
I feel they will, followed by the Royal Doulton. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
What about you? | 0:23:12 | 0:23:14 | |
I think the earrings. We got a good price, didn't we? | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
-And how much did you spend? -We spent £123. -£123. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:22 | |
I'd like £177 of leftover lolly, please. Well done. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
I'll just get it out of the tissue! There's a note. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
That is one note I can do without! | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
There we go for the leftover lolly. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
Christina, you love this moment, because this is the moment you can trot off and find your bonus buy? | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
Absolutely. We have gone for quite glamorous things. | 0:23:39 | 0:23:42 | |
We have bought some good glam things, which I think match my ladies, so I might go non-glam. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:47 | |
-What, basic? -Yes. A bit rustic. A bit like me! | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
-Expensive rustic, please. -OK, no problem. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
Try and spend the lot. No, I can't say that. Anyway, good fun. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:57 | |
Have a nice rest up, girls. | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
Meanwhile, why don't we go and look at some heavy metal? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
One of the lovely things about coming to Ardingly | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
is the variety of outdoor effects you'll find. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:16 | |
For example, this magnificent beastie. Do you like it? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:22 | |
The only thing you need in your garden is a socking great tree. | 0:24:22 | 0:24:26 | |
If you have got a socking great tree and you want to doll it up | 0:24:26 | 0:24:29 | |
and you want to make a special feature in your garden, | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
then this is the baby for you. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
Or should I say bebe? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
Because if you look carefully here, | 0:24:38 | 0:24:42 | |
it's got a sign, which is "Usine Sauveue Arras". | 0:24:42 | 0:24:46 | |
That particular factory, the Sauveue factory, | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
dates back to the early part of the 19th century, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
where they manufactured all sorts of casts and wrought-iron goods. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:58 | |
If you sit in it, you would find it is extremely comfortable. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
One of the great things about it is the design, | 0:25:02 | 0:25:05 | |
because if you look at the scrolling foot, called the cabriole in French, | 0:25:05 | 0:25:10 | |
it finishes at something called a pied-de-biche. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
That is a biche foot. A cloven foot. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
Which makes it, I think, extremely stylish. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
Actually, the style of this thing is pretty well timeless. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
They made them in England in the 18th century out of reeded metal, | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
and they are extremely rare and expensive. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:33 | |
This one, I guess, was probably made around about 1920, | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
but for an extremely smart garden, because not only have | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
they wrought the iron, but they have then galvanised it. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
It has been hot dipped expensively so that it won't rust. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:50 | |
Thus, you've painted it, it's chipped all over the place, | 0:25:50 | 0:25:54 | |
but it hasn't rusted, because of the galvanising underneath. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
All these features add up to making this thing one of the best examples | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
of its type, and that's why it's priced up here at £1,000. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
Ooh la la! | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
How bizarre is this? | 0:26:18 | 0:26:20 | |
We find ourselves in West London in Chiswick High Road Auctions, | 0:26:20 | 0:26:24 | |
with our excellent auctioneer of the moment, Ross Mercer. Good morning. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
-Good morning. -Very nice to see you. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
We have got a mixture here, I tell you. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
From the sublimely sophisticated gold brooch | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
to a reproduction arms and armour. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
-How's about that for a mix? -Everything for the weekend! -Exactly! | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
So, the brooch first. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
-It's 14 carat and it's got a little amethyst. -It has. Beautifully made. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:49 | |
Brooches aren't the easiest items of jewellery to sell. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
However, it is quite a pleasing shape, and with the younger buyers, | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
they seem to be picking them up. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
-What is it worth, do you think? -We have said £100 to £150. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
-Whoopee! £50 paid. -Really? -Yes. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
That is not expensive when you think it is retail and in a fair. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
That is encouraging. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:11 | |
Now, this reproduction armour that is 17th-century style. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
-It's got the look because it's rusty and dusty. -That's right. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
If you have a great hall at home or if you have children who want to dress up at weekends. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:24 | |
It would be fantastic for children's parties. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
How much are they worth, the two pieces? | 0:27:26 | 0:27:29 | |
-For those, we have said £50 to £70. -Right. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
A bit of a shot in the dark, really. We will see. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
I think the children connection is a winner, and our team paid £35, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:40 | |
which again I think is incredibly cheap. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
I should go shopping with them! | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
-£35, I tell you, for these two is something else. -It is. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
I am very impressed. So, well done, Reds. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
And Anita went strongly on this scent bottle, | 0:27:51 | 0:27:54 | |
which doesn't really do it for me, but it's nicely cut. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
It is cut very well indeed. 1920s. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
Probably in a slightly earlier style, | 0:28:01 | 0:28:03 | |
probably of ten or 15 years beforehand. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:05 | |
-They are becoming more and more popular. -There you go. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
-How much for it? -We have said £60 to £100. -Good Lord! | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
£49 is all Anita paid. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
So, three brilliant items, all with brilliant estimates. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
This team are not going to need their bonus buy, but let's go and have a look at it anyway. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
-Anne, Ray, got any idea what she bought? -No idea at all. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:28 | |
You gave her £166. What did you spend the leftover lolly on, Anita? | 0:28:28 | 0:28:32 | |
I had to get something nautical and I bought... | 0:28:32 | 0:28:36 | |
..this. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:39 | |
-It's a barometer. -Yes. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:41 | |
Are you one of those people that taps it to see if it moves up or down? | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
No, I just look out the window when I want to see what the weather is like! | 0:28:44 | 0:28:48 | |
You are not supposed to tap them. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
What I liked most about this was this wonderful frame | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
in the shape of an anchor and this rope. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
It is a Victorian barometer. It was made in Diss in Norfolk. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:01 | |
There is a sort of naive quality about it, which I personally like. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:05 | |
And I thought you guys might like it as well. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:08 | |
You handle it first. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
-It's lovely, isn't it? -How much did you pay for this? -I paid £50 for it. -Really? | 0:29:12 | 0:29:17 | |
-Do you think it will make much? -I am hoping to make a little profit on it. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:23 | |
I couldn't have got it for anything less. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
An ordinary, standard barometer is a precision instrument, | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
so you'll not get this type of thing cheap. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
It says it's very dry here. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:34 | |
-Does it? -Yes. -I think it's raining outside! | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
-They are not 100%, these things, are they? -That's lovely. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
We also have the maker's name here. This is Arthur Marsh. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
-So, that's another positive thing. -Is he well known? | 0:29:45 | 0:29:48 | |
Yes, a good barometer maker. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
-Didn't she do well? -She certainly did. -Good. Thank you, Anita. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:54 | |
Right now, though, let's find out whether the pressure is rising | 0:29:54 | 0:29:57 | |
with the auctioneer and see whether he likes Anita's barometer. | 0:29:57 | 0:30:01 | |
-This is a saleroom favourite, isn't it? -It is. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:05 | |
And out of many of the items you have brought to us, | 0:30:05 | 0:30:08 | |
-this is one of my favourites. -Oh, good. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:10 | |
Generally, the condition isn't fantastic. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
Elements of woodworm here at the top, which is a bit of a shame. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:16 | |
-And unfortunately, a very small break to the thermometer. -Oh, dear. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:20 | |
However, the shape is going to prove very popular. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:23 | |
It makes it a marine collectable, really, doesn't it? | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
-What is it worth? -We have said £80 to £120. -Have you? | 0:30:26 | 0:30:30 | |
Yes. And I think on a good day, that may creep up to being a little bit more. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:34 | |
OK. Well, Anita paid 50. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
She certainly knows her way around an economical barometer. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
Their first item is the pair of Bohemian and garnet set earrings, | 0:30:42 | 0:30:49 | |
which are in a lovely purple box, I have to say that. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
-I can't say that that is contemporary. -No. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
-But they do offer the better end of costume jewellery. -£28 was paid. | 0:30:55 | 0:31:00 | |
-What is your estimate? -We have said £30 to £50. -OK. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
-Well, spot on. They stand a good chance. -Absolutely. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
Now, this flambe Doulton stuff, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
is it out of fashion or in fashion at the moment? | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
Certain shapes and figures are very much in fashion | 0:31:12 | 0:31:16 | |
and command some great prices. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
To get that glaze is a very difficult thing to execute. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
-The nice thing is that it's in perfect condition. -How much, then? | 0:31:23 | 0:31:27 | |
-We have said £80 to £120. -Wow, that's great. £75 paid. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
That is very encouraging. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:33 | |
What about the ice bucket, which has got that frosted exterior, which is quite fun, isn't it? | 0:31:33 | 0:31:38 | |
It's great fun. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
I think people who are chasing the 1960s style | 0:31:41 | 0:31:44 | |
may want that for the summer. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
-Exactly. What is your estimate? -We have said £15 to £30. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
OK. £20 paid. So, they have done very well, really. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
And once again, I think the team may not need their bonus buy. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
But let's go and have a look at it anyway. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
Well, this is exciting, kids, isn't it? | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
Christina seems to have gone out and bought a whopper today! | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
You have got £177 to spend. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
-Let's find out... -Are you ready? -..what she spent it on. Yes! | 0:32:06 | 0:32:12 | |
I have never seen two people be so underwhelmed! | 0:32:16 | 0:32:20 | |
I thought for a minute it said British Airways! | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
I thought as we're the Blue Team, I should buy something blue for you, | 0:32:22 | 0:32:26 | |
and there's a travel connection, with you being an air hostess. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:29 | |
So, I thought travel, let's go blue, it seemed to tick a lot of boxes. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
Right. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:34 | |
How old is it? | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
I think probably the 1940s, with wear to match. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
Railwayana is very collectable, | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
and I thought with the sale being on the website, it gets to that international audience, | 0:32:43 | 0:32:47 | |
and people to love these kinds of things. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
Signage, railways, anything like that. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:51 | |
So, commercially, they are quite popular at the moment. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
-And how much did you pay for it? -I paid £68 for it. -Right. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:59 | |
So, at auction I would hope it would make £80 to £120. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
It is not in the best of condition, but it just shows it's got character, it shows it's got age. | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
It's also not too big, so collectors like being able to fit quite a few in, don't they? | 0:33:08 | 0:33:13 | |
Oh, yes, they definitely do. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:14 | |
I suppose it harks back to a romantic time | 0:33:14 | 0:33:17 | |
in railway travel, doesn't it? | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
-I love that. -It's growing on me. It's growing on me. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
-Good. Do you like? -Yes. -Yes. -OK, fine. You have got the prediction. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:28 | |
Hold that fond thought, because this train is about to leave the station. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
Well, Ross, I'm not going to cart it over, because it's a chunky old thing, | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
but there it is, hanging on the wall. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
The British Railways sign. How do you get on with railwayana? | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
Well, it's a little bit of an unknown quantity. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:45 | |
It is a very passionate collecting field. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
So, we have seen those make quite a few hundred pounds in the past. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
But I guess you put it on the internet, you describe it accurately and wait and see what happens, yes? | 0:33:51 | 0:33:56 | |
-That's right. -Light the blue touch paper. -That's right. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:59 | |
Have you got an estimate of something on it? | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
We have said £50 to £100, which I think is cautious. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:07 | |
Christina paid £68, and she lives with a lot of hope, too. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:13 | |
Like most of us. Anyway, good luck, and thank you very much. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
Can I say five? 25. 30. Five. 35 bid. 40. Five. One more? | 0:34:17 | 0:34:24 | |
Selling now at 45. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
-Do you realise just how well you guys are going to do? -Not really. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
We are looking at a very positive result for you, | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
based on the estimates, so let's see what happens. | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |

The silver-mounted hobnail and cut-glass scent bottle | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |

And sold at £60. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
-£60 is plus 11. 115, 126. £126 profit. -Wonderful! | 0:36:33 | 0:36:41 | |
-I can't believe that. -What are you going to do about the barometer? | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
Are you going to go with it or just park your £126? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
-You want to go with it, don't you, Ray? -Yes. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:53 | |
-Anne, what do you want to do? You've got to chop, chop. -No. -OK, no. -OK. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:58 | |
He says no and he is a gentleman. He is following his wife and you are not going to go with the bonus buy. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:03 | |
-Last chance? -No. -OK, fine. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:05 | |
Here comes the bonus buy, which we are not going with. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
-You are going to walk home if this goes! -Don't be silly! | 0:37:08 | 0:37:12 | |
The next lot is the rather nice Victorian carved-oak barometer. £50. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:17 | |
I am bid at 50. 55. 60. 65. 70 now. 70 bid. Five. 75 bid. 80. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:24 | |

-At £85. -You are walking! | 0:37:29 | 0:37:34 | |
On my right at 85. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
-£85. Well done, Anita. That is plus £35. -This is your bus fare home! | 0:37:37 | 0:37:42 | |
Now, listen. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:45 | |
The big question is, is £126 going to be a winning score today? | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
-It should be. -Hopefully. -But you never know. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
-So, say nothing to the Blues. -No. -OK. Thank you very much. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
-You are a couple of sports. -Thank you. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
-Now, team, have you been talking to the Reds? -No, we haven't. -No. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:06 | |
-We haven't seen them. -You haven't seen them. That's fortunate. | 0:38:06 | 0:38:10 | |
Now, the Bohemian and garnet-set earrings. £28 paid. | 0:38:10 | 0:38:14 | |
The auctioneer thinks they are worth £30 to £50, | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
and he thinks they are rather good. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
Stand by, then, because first up is your earrings, and here we go. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:24 | |
The next lot is the rather nice pair of early 20th-century Bohemian | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
gilt-metal garnet-set earrings. There they are. £30. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:32 | |
-At £30 I'm bid. At 30. -Straight into profit. -Yes. -At £35, I have. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:38 | |
Make no mistake. £40 now, at 40. On the internet at £40. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:44 | |
Come on, girls. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
At £40. All done? At £40. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
£40 is plus £12. That's all right. I am liking it. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:56 | |
Now, flambe. | 0:38:56 | 0:38:58 | |
The rather nice Royal Doulton flambe veined vase, | 0:38:58 | 0:39:02 | |
and some interest in the lot. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:04 | |
I've got a bid here of £50. At £50. But we're looking for more. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:09 | |

You are, really! | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
They're going with a bonus buy, and here it comes. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
One of my favourite items, it's the rather fun British Railway | 0:40:19 | 0:40:23 | |
-blue enamel sign hanging from one of the beams there. -Come on! | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |

That's two or 17... That is plus £17. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:10 | |
You clever thing. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:12 | |
Yes, 17, plus 27, plus £29, look at that. | 0:41:12 | 0:41:17 | |
How feeble would it have been to have missed that profit? | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
-So, 17 plus 29? -Yeah. No. 17 plus 12 is 29. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
-£29. -Brilliant. -That is so cool, isn't it? | 0:41:23 | 0:41:27 | |
We are really pleased with that. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:29 | |
Well, you're a happy-looking bunch, aren't you, | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
you lot? And why not? Isn't it lovely to be sending both teams home | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
-with profits?! -ALL: Ooh! -Serious folding money. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
Ah. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
But who has got the biggest winnings, | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
that's what we'd like to know. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
Well, I have to tell you that the team with the smallest winnings | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
-are the Blues. -Aw! | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
£29, though, is nothing to be sniffed at, is it? | 0:41:55 | 0:41:59 | |
-It was a journey, wasn't it? -It was great fun. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
-Really, really good fun. -I thought the cabin staff were marvellous. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
Did very, very well. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:08 | |
The railway sign was a wise thing to take, thanks to Christina, | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
which is great, for £17. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
First-class result. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:14 | |
But the winners today are going home with a massive amount, | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
£126! | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
£126! | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
You would have made another £35 if you'd trusted Anita | 0:42:22 | 0:42:26 | |
and gone with the barometer, | 0:42:26 | 0:42:27 | |
so you could have gone home with more, | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
but still, not to worry. Because you made a profit on all three objects, | 0:42:30 | 0:42:34 | |
