0:00:07 > 0:00:10Welcome to Hemswell in Lincolnshire.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14This former RAF base is home to one of the largest
0:00:14 > 0:00:18antiques centres in Europe, so what are we waiting for?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:47 > 0:00:53Will our Red and Blue teams be full of the joys of spring today?
0:00:53 > 0:00:57Will they trot around the antiques centres with gay abandon?
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I don't know. Let's have a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06'The Reds find that a sporting background comes in handy.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Oh!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12'While one of the Blues seems to have gone missing.'
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Alison's gone very quiet. - Yeah, Alison. Alison.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Hold on, where's Alison gone?!
0:01:17 > 0:01:21'But it looks like both Blues are back in force at the auction.'
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- Sold!- Ohhhh!
0:01:23 > 0:01:24'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:26 > 0:01:27Well, this is fun, isn't it?
0:01:27 > 0:01:31We've got two teams of girls on our show today.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35We've got Jojo and Andrea, and cousins Alison and Mary.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Hello, everyone.- Hello.- Hello, Tim.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Great to see you. Now, Jojo, shall I call you Rainbow?
0:01:40 > 0:01:42You can if you like, everybody else does.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44From a child, I've just grew up watching Rainbow Brite
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and Rainbow obviously with Zippy and Bungle and everyone,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- it's just grown into a crazy obsession.- Has it?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Now, you're never happier, Jojo, than when you're knee-deep in mud,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- is that right?- It is, yeah. - Why's that?
0:01:55 > 0:01:59I'm a big festival-goer, I love festivals. Big, small...
0:01:59 > 0:02:01You've got that kind of "flower power" look!
0:02:02 > 0:02:06These dresses are very much taking me to a place
0:02:06 > 0:02:07that's very, very muddy.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Yeah, that's how I like it, in me wellies and me skirt
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- and dancing around. - Sounds extraordinary.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Now, Andrea, are you mad about rainbows?- Only this one, Tim.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Ah, how sweet! What do you like, then? What's your favourites?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- I like fairies and butterflies. - Do you collect them?- I do, yeah.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Are you going to be looking for fairies and whatnot
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- on Bargain Hunt today? - Most definitely, yeah.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32You stand a fair chance of driving your expert completely mad!
0:02:32 > 0:02:36And you're also very good on a bit of a hook and wool job, aren't you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- I wouldn't say very good, I've taught myself to crochet.- Ah!
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I've made Jo three slippers.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- None of them match. - None of them match.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50- Oh, yeah. What, they're all left feet?- Half a pillowcase.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- You're that good?- I'm that good! - Yeah, well, that sounds great fun.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Now, you haven't always been the best of mates, have you?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Er, no, around seven years ago, we met through a mutual friend in a pub,
0:03:00 > 0:03:02we didn't see eye-to-eye on something
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and we didn't see each other for five years,
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- and then boom.- Here we are again.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Two years later we've been living together like best of friends.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's nice. It's lovely when all these things come right, isn't it?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- It's lovely. - You're really close friends now,
0:03:14 > 0:03:15and that's the most important thing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18That's what I like to hear. They're my girls.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Anyway, now, Alison, you work in a garden centre, which means
0:03:21 > 0:03:23you've got incredibly green fingers, right?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Erm, not really. - What do you mean "not really?"
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- You'd have my colleagues in stitches at work if you said that.- Really?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- Yeah.- Why has none of that garden centre culture rubbed off on you?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- I pick up bits here and there. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37I bet you're modest about it.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Have you got your own hormone rooting powder?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40THEY LAUGH
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Would you like some?!- No, come on!
0:03:44 > 0:03:48So, it's more like retail sales and it happens to be in a garden centre?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Yes, I'm better at the giftware. - Are you?- Yes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55- What do you like best in the giftware?- Ooh, glassware.- Do you?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Bronzes. Expensive things.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00You're going to be rather good on Bargain Hunt, aren't you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- Going out spotting the classy stuff. - I do like spending money, yes.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Now, Mary, it says here you're a floral artist.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11That's what I used to do, you see, until recently when I retired, so...
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- You can't have retired! - I have, Tim, yes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- Why have you taken such early retirement?- To enjoy myself!
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, I see. Got your own dried oasis?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Gosh, you know words like oasis!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25What you don't know about it in nobody's business.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28It's true though, isn't it? Without the oasis, where would you be?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Absolutely. You'd be nowhere.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32You've won a gold medal though, haven't you, at the old Chelsea?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- Hmm.- Tell us about that.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I can't take all the accolade -
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I did do it with another lady from the flower club that we belong.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I mean, the icing on the cake was that we got the best
0:04:43 > 0:04:46exhibit in the show, so that was...
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I rest my case.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50The woman is clearly very, very modest.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51THEY LAUGH
0:04:51 > 0:04:53So you two girls, have you got any tactics today?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Are we going to buy a flower arranging kit
0:04:55 > 0:04:57or are we branching out?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I think Alison said, "Big and bold", didn't you?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yeah. Spend it.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02We like to spend it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, to do that you're going to need your £300.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06£300 apiece, here we go.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- £300, Jojo. Well done. - Thank you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10There you go, £300.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You know the rules. Your experts await and off you go!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18See? I do know about dried oasis.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23Moving across to our equally knowledgeable experts.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Hoping to ring up a profits for the reds is Philip Serrell.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32And beefing it up for the blues is Charles Hanson.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Have you really got no idea at all what you're going to buy?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Not a clue.- Cos you're very green fingered, aren't you?
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- Well, yeah, a bit, Charles. - No idea?
0:05:42 > 0:05:45No. Rainbows, butterflies...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48But when it comes to antiques...
0:05:48 > 0:05:49- We're not.- Not at all.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51What do you mean, rainbows and butterflies?
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- Rainbows and butterflies.- She likes rainbows, I like butterflies.- Great.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- We've no plan - just go for it.- OK.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- Wing it.- We'll just wing it, then.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01We'll have a go at winging it -
0:06:01 > 0:06:02that's very different.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04That's it then, teams.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07The clock starts now, with an hour to go, and the race is on.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Rainbows and butterflies?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Possibly not Philip's thing.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21If you're novices, what's the definition of an antique?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24A hundred. Correct. I quite like that bench over there.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Do you like that bench? - I do like that bench.- I do, yeah.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Good Lord, they like it.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Objects which aren't antiques we call collectors,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33and they are objects which define certain styles and decades,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36like the Art Deco period, are collectables, OK?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- How much is it? - Oh, it's 1,450.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I've always had a good eye.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Too good an eye for us, Phil.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Get in there and get digging.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54THEY LAUGH
0:06:54 > 0:06:56I think that's real fun.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58I think it's 20 quid...
0:06:58 > 0:07:00And it hasn't got the cover on it, and that's £48,
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- so I think we'd lose money with that.- Let's not take it then.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Fine. That's sorted that out. The other real telling fact for me
0:07:07 > 0:07:10is there's no sign of a rainbow, butterfly...
0:07:10 > 0:07:11What was the other thing?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Fairies.- Fairies, Phil.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15The fairies bit worries me actually.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16I don't see why it should.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25The blues have found something that could come in handy.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- They're quite interesting, aren't they?- Hello.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29THEY LAUGH
0:07:29 > 0:07:31I don't know. What are they, Charles?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Are they glove stretchers? They're not stretchers, are they?
0:07:35 > 0:07:36I've no idea.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38They're like a pair of washing up gloves, aren't they?
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- They're latex glove moulds.- Are they? - Yeah.- Ah...- It's what it says.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I think they're quite interesting,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48but I don't know what we'll do with them, and they are...
0:07:48 > 0:07:49- £100 for the pair.- Are they?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Circa 1950s. But I suppose what you could use them
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- for is a good pair of book ends as well.- Well, that's true.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59I think £100 is too much money for them,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01but they're fun and I like your style.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04They're quite novel and that's another really important factor -
0:08:04 > 0:08:05novelty value. Come on.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12Back to the Reds to see if they've found anything novel.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Did you say you like skiffle? - Yes.- You do.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Play us a tune, Phil.- I can't. I'm skiffle deaf.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24THEY LAUGH
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- I like it.- Do you?- Yeah. - Yeah.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31This is American, it says so there, look, "Columbus, Ohio."
0:08:31 > 0:08:33People buy stuff like this to decorate kitchens.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38It's priced up at £25. You know, what's it going to make at auction?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Well, on a bad day it might make about ten or 15 quid,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and on a good day it might make £30/35.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- But it is a bit of fun, isn't it? - I like it.- Do you like it?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Yeah, I like it. - Shall we hold that?- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Yeah, definitely.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- You've got a job. - I've got a skiffle.- Yeah.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55SHE LAUGHS
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Don't give up the day job, eh?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01The Blues mean business.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04They've brought out their heavy guns, David,
0:09:04 > 0:09:06who's in charge of this section.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Just talk to David. Let David sell it to you, OK?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- David, do you like it? - Yes, these are very nice.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17It's not as heavy as I thought it was going to be.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19That's not silver top though, is it, David?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21SHE CLEARS HER THROAT No.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24No, it's not.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Do we need to check the top?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Look at that rim. The question we need to ask ourselves is -
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- did that always belong to it? - I don't know.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40I think it probably did because the way it sits on that neck,
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I'm quite happy it's always been together.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48But it's just a bit loose, it's quite light,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52but then again we've almost had 20 minutes and...
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Do we make David an offer?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Well, we both like this, don't we? - Well, we did, but the weight...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59It doesn't matter though. You know, it's...
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- I would think that...£40 would be me.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- 85 on it, so I shall have to ring the dealer at that price.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Shall we do that? Shall we...? Thanks, David.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Good luck with that.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Back to the reds. What have they found here?
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, hold on a minute.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- I like that.- Do you? Cotton reels in there...
0:10:24 > 0:10:27that's all the different colours, and then the silks at the front.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Priced at £195.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33What we really need to do is see if we can find the dealer.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- You wouldn't...? Is this yours? - Yeah, it is, yeah.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Top man.- Can I help you? - Yeah. Yeah, you can.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- This is priced at 195.- It is, yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47Right. No messing around, then. What's the very, very best that you can do?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- 125.- OK.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- It's nicely decorated on the back.- Is it? Can we have a look at the back?
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Oh.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59"Sew with pure silk. Perivale...is the perfect thread."
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Would 120 buy it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Today, it would, yes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- OK. What do you think, girls? - Yeah.- Oh, good.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- I like it.- Love it. - We really like it.- £120.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12And the least that can make at auction is probably 80 quid,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- isn't it? And if we have a good day...- Probably a bit more.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18I like that. Right, done deal.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21We'll pay the man. That's two.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Thank you ever so much. See you later on.- No problem.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Thank you.- Well done. Well done, ladies. Well done. Top job.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29That's one down for the Reds,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33but they're obviously still considering that washboard.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Those Blues still don't have a deal and the clock is ticking.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- The best she can do is 65. - 65. Oh, dear.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Right, we've got to make a decision, then.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47Its market value at auction, if I could give you an estimate,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52would be between 50 and 70, maybe £80, you know.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Well, I think we've got to be in agreement, haven't we?
0:11:54 > 0:11:57So... And I don't think you're too...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'm not committed. Can we pop it back and then come back
0:12:00 > 0:12:02when we're really strapped to the last three minutes?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Yeah, OK. If you're happy to hot foot it later.- Yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- And be a lady on a mission.- Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10I'll just send Alison.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11THEY LAUGH
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- David, we'll leave it for the time being.- OK.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17This is no time to dilly dally, girls,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19no matter how speedy Alison is.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Over to the more decisive Reds, then.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25That's a funny-looking thing.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- It's every day of the week, isn't it? - Yeah. Oh, that's lovely.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- It looks... - Only £48.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Do you like that, Phil?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Sorrento, this is.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39This is olive wood...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41and it comes from Jerusalem.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44"Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday."
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- I don't know what you'd put in there.- Letters?- Yeah, you reckon so?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- That's what it says.- Yeah, but you can't always believe what it says.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Which do you prefer out of the two of these? That or that?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- This one.- That one. - You both prefer that.- Yeah.- Really?
0:12:58 > 0:12:59OK.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02It's just the skiffle, Phil. HE SCOFFS
0:13:02 > 0:13:04We'll have a look and come back to it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Let's leave that there for the minute.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11While both teams are still flailing about,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14let me show you something which takes me back to my youth.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Do you remember those little bottles of milk that were delivered
0:13:19 > 0:13:23to school in a crate that looked remarkably like this?
0:13:23 > 0:13:28Except the ones at school weren't smart gilt metal
0:13:28 > 0:13:33with a turned marine ivory handle on the top - they were just galvanised.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But the principle is the same.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37And, in fact, there are four bottles,
0:13:37 > 0:13:43each of which fit beautifully inside the frame...like that.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Milk bottles? I don't think so.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50These are individual decanters, beautifully blown.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Look, with faceted sides...
0:13:52 > 0:13:55and the star cut base.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00The necks and shoulders have all been covered in this silvered metal,
0:14:00 > 0:14:03and then that's surmounted by a smart stopper
0:14:03 > 0:14:05that's got a cork inside,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09meaning that this thing, when it's shaken about a bit,
0:14:09 > 0:14:11will remain watertight.
0:14:11 > 0:14:17And if you were sitting in a smart dining room in 1910 or 1920,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20this crate would be passed around the gentlemen
0:14:20 > 0:14:26because inside each of these bottles would be some fiery spirit,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30like cherry brandy or sloe gin.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34The joke being that what you're passing the bottles
0:14:34 > 0:14:39of delicious liqueurs around in looks like a school milk crate.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44It's a novelty and a novelty that was made in France because
0:14:44 > 0:14:48each of these silver-coloured mounts on the top has what's called
0:14:48 > 0:14:50a poissant,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53that is French for a mark,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57and that mark says above BP,
0:14:57 > 0:15:01the initials of the metalworker.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And the gilt metal frame down below has a similar puissant,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07except the initials are GP.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11It will be perfectly possible to look up these marks
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and determine who that maker is.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Was he a Parisian maker? Was he smart? Is he collectable?
0:15:16 > 0:15:19And exactly his dates.
0:15:19 > 0:15:24But as it is, I think this is an engaging and charming object.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28The whole business of decanting liqueurs into little
0:15:28 > 0:15:33bottles like this I think is sensible and it is, of course,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35these novelties in silver
0:15:35 > 0:15:39and silver plate that are desirable on the market today.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44And I think, when it's tickled up, it will make a considerable sum.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45How much?
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Well, not less than £400.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Probably between four and £600.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54What would it cost you to buy today?
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Here, in Lincolnshire, well, you could take it away for £140.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Cheers.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08OK, so far the reds have one item and the blues have none.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Let's see if they're making any progress.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14- Look at that.- Oh, yes. - Look at that. Isn't that gorgeous?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Now tell me, is West Kilbride near here?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Oh, Charles! Where is it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22SHE LAUGHS It's in Scotland.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25- It sounds a bit Scottish. - You think so?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28This is a bowling ball in silver,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32presented to President Dr Stephenson and Mrs Stephenson
0:16:32 > 0:16:36for the years 1926 and 1927.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Feel the weight of that.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39Oh, gosh.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42That's a stand, Mary. Hold that as well.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44And I've got the label. Isn't that gorgeous?
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I think that's rather nice. Alison's gone very quiet.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Alison, Alison... Hold on, where's Alison gone?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Where is she?- Alison...
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Alison, hold that and see...
0:16:57 > 0:17:01What I like is the fact that's it's hallmarked here as Glasgow,
0:17:01 > 0:17:06carrying the Hibernian mark and also the harp for probably the year
0:17:06 > 0:17:09in or around 1926.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12And to me, it's just a heavy ball.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Well, it is.- Is it a heavy price?
0:17:14 > 0:17:18No, not really. It's on at £75.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21I quite like this and I'm tempted...
0:17:21 > 0:17:26to maybe take it downstairs and see if I can do a deal for you.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29If it takes your fancy. Look at me.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Do you like it?- I'll go with you, Charles.- Really?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- And Mary.- I think that was a no, she doesn't, but she's...
0:17:36 > 0:17:41It's... It's Edinburgh silver, it's George V, it's 1920s.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I think that could be a good thing at sale.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- Can I go and make an offer?- Yes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49So on at £75. If I get 10% off, I'm going to say we'll take it.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I agree. It may not float her boat,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55but they really need to get a move on.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01The reds are looking increasingly attached to that skiffle board.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- We'd like to purchase this, please. - (No, we might like to.)
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We might like to purchase this, please.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08THEY LAUGH
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Can you tell us what your best price is on it?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Yeah, I could do you 10%, so I could take £2.50 off.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19- Could we do £3?- Yeah, we could make life easy and do it £3.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Excellent.- That all right? - Well, it's a bit of fun, isn't it?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- Yeah.- A bit of fun.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26After all, fun is what it's all about.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29The Reds now have two items, but what about those blues?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Charles is back and feeling bullish.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41- Any luck?- Yeah. Yeah, I'm going to buy it...- Ooh!
0:18:41 > 0:18:43..if you don't mind,
0:18:43 > 0:18:48because it is 10%. Priced at £75, the best then can do is £67,
0:18:48 > 0:18:53and to me... I think it's worth between £60 and £90,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56so to me it's a very bottom estimate to start with.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58So if you're OK, I'm going to buy it for £67.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And that's our first item done with, well, actually,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03we've had 40 minutes.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06So, you know, time is the essence.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07Come on, let's get going.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Come on, it's your turn now.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'm not sure the Blues have quite got the hang of this,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16unlike the Reds who have one item to go.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20So what's the first thing we want to check with these?
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- No chips. - She's on the case, isn't she?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- She's red hot, isn't she? - THEY LAUGH
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Ooh!- Or have they?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- It's a bit wonky, isn't it? - It's a wonky knob.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34I mean, if you want to phone up the dealer and ask him what the
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- best is for us? - Yeah, I can do that.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40I mean, these are millefiori, which is thousands of flowers.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44I wonder whether they would actually be knobs off a chest of drawers...
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Right.- ..that someone's made into door handles.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49And they still sort of work.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53But the... It's just a bit off centre, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- But you like them, yeah? - Yeah, they're lovely.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58So what does the dealer want for them?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- £95. - 95.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- Right, can I ask you to do me a favour?- Yes.
0:20:02 > 0:20:03£95.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05I can't guarantee you we'll have them
0:20:05 > 0:20:06but we're going to buy something.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Could you just hang on to those for half an hour for me?- Certainly.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Is that all right? Put them behind the counter.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Whatever you do, don't let Charlie Hanson see them.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15THEY CHUCKLE
0:20:15 > 0:20:19And we'll give you a decision in about a half-hour's time.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- OK.- OK, thank you very much.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- So, we've sort of got three bids, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Do you know what you might want to buy? I mean do you like those?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- I do like those. - Or I can show you another option.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Show us another option.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Ah, Phil always has something else up his sleeve.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42And it looks like Charles might have found something interesting too.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45If I can just get it out for the ladies to have a look at.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- There.- Mm.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Thank you very much.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Ooh, isn't it sweet? Something bold you wanted, didn't you, Alison?
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- Yeah, something big and bold. - There you go.- Oh, does the top open?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Caress it.- Steady.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Look at that, Charles. - Ooh, isn't that pretty?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Now, what we look for, just close that top for me.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06Although it's not actually marked silver,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09we can still call it silver or white metal.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Would that be on their dressing table?- Yes, it would.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15It would never have sat within, shall we say, a dressing table case.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It would never have been part of a lady's toilet box.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21It is a stand-alone object and it's very feminine.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I think it's pretty, I think it's rich,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I think it's great for a Lincoln sale.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Hmmm, what do you think about the price?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29You're keen, aren't you? You're very keen.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31I think we need David.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- David.- Do your best, David. - What would be the best on that?
0:21:35 > 0:21:41- Well, it's got a trade of £6 on it. - Right. Could we go 50?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Yes, it's got the stopper and everything, hasn't it?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- We might be able to stretch it to 50.- You are good.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50What do you think, Charles?
0:21:50 > 0:21:55I think 50 is a lowish, middle-auction estimate
0:21:55 > 0:21:57and it has every chance of making a profit.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02It might slip £5 the wrong side but it might profit 20
0:22:02 > 0:22:04and if David was prepared to go at 50,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08I would say the hinge is in good condition, the embossed floral
0:22:08 > 0:22:11design on that lid is in super condition,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14it hasn't been knocked or dented, the glass of the octagonal
0:22:14 > 0:22:18form is in good order as well, so I think it's a goer, Alison.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- Go, Charles.- Go, Alison. - Go.- Are you going to buy it?- Yes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- Shake the man's hand. Name your price now.- £50.- Sold, good job.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Oh, thank you.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29You're a good man, David, that's our second object bought.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Well played, team.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35At last, they've got going.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So...that one there, look.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I quite like this chair, let's see what we know about it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- What's it made of?- Oak. - How do you know that?
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Cos it's oak wood.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Well, that's not a bad shout. You're absolutely right, it's oak.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53And one of the reasons you can tell oak other than that colour is
0:22:53 > 0:22:55this broad grain here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58That's typical of oak. I think it's about 1895-ish.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01If you're optimistic, you could call it arts and crafts but it's sort of
0:23:01 > 0:23:04almost ecclesiastical in a way and I think it's very much a hall chair.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I mean I know that they'll do that for £120.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08If you could get it for 100 quid,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10which would you rather have for £5 difference?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11That or your knobs?
0:23:11 > 0:23:12ANDREA LAUGHS
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- I do like a nice, comfy seat.- Do you? Well, you better try it out.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Does it make loads of money?- Well...
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- It's nice.- You know, this is all luck, this business.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Let me go and see if they've had a word with the dealer.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Mm, it's quite comfy.- You look it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35I'm not really sure this will help very much.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38They can't get through to the dealer, OK?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40So, at the minute, it was priced up at £145,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42they said we can have it for £120.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46If we can get it for 100, I'd say definitely have it.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So, you've got the choice, at the minute, the way it stands,
0:23:49 > 0:23:53of 95 quid for your knobs or £120 for that.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55The things that hold the knobs back for me is that
0:23:55 > 0:23:59if you got more of them and you could put them
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- on a chest of drawers, I think they'd be fantastic.- Yeah.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- But what are you going to do with them?- Just four knobs.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06With just four knobs,
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I don't know what you'll ever do with them, really.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- I'd take chair. - We'll go for the chair.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- We're in it to make money, aren't we?- Executive decision says chair.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Right, then what we do is we just wait now
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- until such time as they try and get hold of the dealer for us.- Yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- All right?- Yep.- OK, fine. Have I ever missed an opportunity?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Rest the old legs. Ah. - What a gentleman.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Nice gin and tonic, girls, that'd be handy now.- That'd be lovely, yeah.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35Whilst Philip takes it easy, the Blues are in a real spin.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Try over here. We'll keep dreaming, OK? We are dreaming of a last find.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Come on, we mustn't wilt, OK?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Two minutes, team. - There's a clock there, Charles.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Oh, that's a gorgeous clock. I think you've found it.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- I think you've got it. How much is it?- I can't see the price.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56If it's in budget, you've done really well.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- But I can just see a slight hint. - What?- It says £1,400.- Oh, Charles!
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Alison, what are you doing to me?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Oh, do-do-do-do-do-do.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07He looks comfortable enough.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Hello there.- We've just heard we can do it for 100.- Really?
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Oh, that's fantastic news. Thanks ever so much.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Well, you tried, Philip.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- See, what I love, Mary, is that lovely inkwell down there.- Mm.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33Turned wood, nice condition, novel and for how much? £35.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- With a minute to go, it's cheap. - Mm.- Shall we get it?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38No, I like the clock, Charles.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40You are adamant to buy a clock, aren't you?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Madam, can we please look at this clock?
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Because in the time we've got left, 25 seconds to go,
0:25:45 > 0:25:49it's just got to be now, ladies, no messing around.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52And you've got to look at the clock without me even handling it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Give it to her, thank you very much.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- I like it.- OK. What's your best price?
0:25:58 > 0:26:03So, your best price, Charles, is 195 with a trade of 10. 185.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Can't afford it, can we? - Oh, we still can't afford it.- No.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09What's your really, really, very, very best for these two ladies,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12for my roses today, with ten seconds to go?
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- OK, we'll go with 175, how's that? - Oh, wonderful! Yes, we're in.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Give us a kiss, quick. That's a deal. Done. Gone. Sold.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Thank you very much. Oh, my goodness me.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Do you know what? I haven't even looked at this clock yet.- I know.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I don't know what we've even bought.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29We've bought blind for the first ever time
0:26:29 > 0:26:30in my history on Bargain Hunt.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Happy days, eh? Thank you.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37My goodness, that was right up to the wire and sealed with a kiss.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Time for the teams to stop digging around and for us to find out
0:26:43 > 0:26:47whether they're going to rake in a profit.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50They paid £120 for the sewing silks display unit.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Next, they've tuned into the washboard for £22.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03And the gothic chair bought for £100 completed their trio of purchases.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Now, Jojo, tell me, which is your favourite piece, please?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09I like the big sewing box thing with all the little trinket bits in it.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- That's your favourite favourite, is it?- It is.- Andrea, do you agree?
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- I agree, totally.- You do? Best to do that.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- No, I don't think so.- What's going to bring the biggest profit then?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- I think it's going to be our big oak chair.- OK.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- So, how much did you spend all round?- We spent £242 altogether.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28£242, that's such a mature amount of money.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32That's £58 leftover lolly, please. £58, there, you've got it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Thank you.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Straight across to P Serrell.- Thank you.- You look like a very happy man.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Yes, well, I have spent an hour looking for butterflies,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- rainbows and fairies.- Have you?- Yes.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I'm going to cross those off my shopping list
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- and see what else I can find. - Well, good for you,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49and we look forward very much to what you come up with.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53But, right now, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:27:53 > 0:27:58They bought the engraved silver cricket ball for £67. Howzat?!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Hoping for the sweet smell of success,
0:28:00 > 0:28:03they paid £50 for the cranberry scent bottle and fittingly,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05with only seconds to go,
0:28:05 > 0:28:09they spent £175 on what I would call a much-needed timepiece.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15- Well, girls, you're looking well satisfied.- Yeah, we are.- Oh.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- That's good. You had a lovely hour with Charles.- Super.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- What was your favourite piece? - Favourite piece? The silver ball.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- Silver ball? - The silver ball on the stand.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- OK, you're on the ball, aren't you?- Oh, yeah.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- Do you agree with that?- No, I like my little cranberry perfume bottle.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Fine, that's your favourite. Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37No, I think I'm going to have to go with Alison's silver ball.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Silver ball.- OK, and that's what you still think?- I think so, yeah.
0:28:40 > 0:28:46- Brilliant. And how much did you spend?- £292.- You didn't.- We did.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- You went right to the edge.- We did, yeah.- So, can I have the £8 then?
0:28:49 > 0:28:53£8.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Well, that's a little challenge, isn't it, Charles?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Yeah, it is, cos my girls are really quite upmarket,
0:28:58 > 0:29:02they're uptown girls, and I know my ladies like nice things
0:29:02 > 0:29:04so it's going to be hard to really delve deep.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05You're going to have to dig deep,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07that's what you're going to have to do.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Anyway, good luck with that.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Luckily, both teams now have their items.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15So, it's off to the sale room.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Well, I always enjoy coming to Lincoln,
0:29:20 > 0:29:24particularly when Golding, Young and Mawer is my destination
0:29:24 > 0:29:27so it's a treat to be here, Colin Young, thank you for having us.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28A great host again, Tim.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32First up for the Reds is the oak shop display, which,
0:29:32 > 0:29:34I must say, I have a bit of a problem with cos
0:29:34 > 0:29:39- I don't rate it as an object that much. Do you like it?- I do.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42We've always done really well in Lincoln with bygone items,
0:29:42 > 0:29:43shop fittings,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46so this is really up our street or up the high street, really.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48OK, fine. How much up the high street is it?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Well, I've put an estimate of 50-100 on it and I think it's a great
0:29:51 > 0:29:54item and I wouldn't be surprised if it made over £100.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Well, it needs to. £120 paid. Let's see. We will find out.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Next up is the washboard, a bit of kitchenalia.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03- Is that going to be popular in Lincoln?- It is indeed.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08- Again, a good bygone item, very desirable.- OK, how much?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- Only at £10-20 though.- OK, £22 paid.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14So, they've not paid a huge amount of money for it
0:30:14 > 0:30:16and it is a bit of fun.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19And the last item, which is the big investment, is
0:30:19 > 0:30:22the chair behind me which looks as if it's just come out of a church.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23I think it has.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Quite a few have come out the churches over the last few years.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28Bit of a statement, I suppose, as a hall chair
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- but you're not going to have it in the sitting room, are you?- No.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I think that would adorn any hallway gracefully.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35And what's it worth, Colin?
0:30:35 > 0:30:3880-120 would be a reasonable estimate to place on it.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- OK, £100 paid.- OK.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I fancy they're going to have a difficulty with all these items
0:30:44 > 0:30:46and on my rule of thumb, they're going to definitely
0:30:46 > 0:30:49need their bonus buy so let's go have a look at it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Well, this is fun, isn't it? - It is.- Oh, yes.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54What has that rascal, Philip Serrell,
0:30:54 > 0:30:57spent your £58 of leftover lolly on?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59Are you ready for this?
0:30:59 > 0:31:02- Ooh.- What is it? - Oh, it's a unicorn.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- BOTH: Awww.- Amazing.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06We've changed from butterflies and fairies
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- so I thought it was time to... - I like it.- Really?- Yeah!
0:31:09 > 0:31:14- How much did you pay for it?- Oh, I like this, right on the money. £32.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18And it's got a bit of age but I'm not sure, in truth, where it's from.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- It's old, though, isn't it? - Yeah, I think that's 18th century.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Yeah, we like that.- But whether it's come off a cistern or...
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Hopper or something.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Yeah, I've just no idea, but I just thought it was a lovely thing.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31- I like it. - Do you?- Brilliant, yeah.- Really?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- A little bit of fantasy about it. - Yes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36And what about you, Andrea? What do you like about it, sweetie?
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- Same sort of thing, really.- Hm. A bit of age?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- I have fantasies. - Do you?
0:31:42 > 0:31:44What is your fantasy vision?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46My fantasy for this is that it'll make £50 or £60. It cost me 32.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Really?- Brilliant. - Yeah.- Excellent.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52You don't pick now, you pick after the sale of your first three items,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55and you'll have made so much profit by then, you won't need to bother.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Is that right?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- We'll have it anyway, I think.- Oh, no!
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Let's see what happens later,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04and right now for the audience at home, let's find out
0:32:04 > 0:32:06what the auctioneer thinks about Phil's unicorn.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09OK, Colin, a heavy weight, look.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11- Oh!- It's a chunk, isn't it? - Isn't it just!
0:32:11 > 0:32:13There's a lot of lead in that one!
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Is it worth anything? - It is.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Well, the lead itself's probably got to be worth £20, you'd have thought.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23I mean, it looks a bit like fire mark, but it's not, is it?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I can't figure out what it was part of.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Why take that corner off?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Unless it's to fit into some sort of frame or something.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36A bit of cottage interior. A little furnishing piece - what's it worth?
0:32:36 > 0:32:37I think £25-£40 should see that through.
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Spot on. Philip Serrell paid £32 and he loves all that stuff.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Next, the Blues, who've got the Scottish bowling ball.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50Good display item. From here I can see fairly crisp hallmarks on it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:521924, yep. How much?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I suppose it's got to be £40-£60?
0:32:54 > 0:32:59OK, £67, paid. So they may've paid a tad over the top for that.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Next, is the cranberry glass little scent bottle,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03which is a tiny, wee thing.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Yeah, I think it's quite a sweet little item.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09The trouble is the bigger the item, the bigger the value.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12And it's quite small, so I'll put 30 to 50 on it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13OK, well, they have paid £50,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16so they may've paid a tad towards the top price of that.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19Now the timepiece, which is a classic Edwardian look, isn't it?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Yeah, it is.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24And the actual case looks really good.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Nice moulding at the bottom. Nice bracket feet, as well.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30A fairly glossy and glamorous-looking piece.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- It's definitely made to impress, isn't it?- Yes.- Yeah.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37The type of thing you'd see at a few hundreds pounds at retail,
0:33:37 > 0:33:41but when it comes to auction 30 to 50 would be a reasonable estimate,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44and if it made 70 to 90, you wouldn't bat an eyelid.
0:33:44 > 0:33:50Well, you'll have to bat away at something, because they paid £175!
0:33:50 > 0:33:52That's taken the your breath away, hasn't it?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Yes.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And on that basis, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Let's go and have a look at it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Well, girls this is exciting, isn't it?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04The sale's started,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06and we're going to find out now
0:34:06 > 0:34:09what Charles spent your £8 of leftover lolly on.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Tim, I dug deep and for 800p - it wasn't a lot -
0:34:12 > 0:34:15but I found a bit of style, a big lump on the silver
0:34:15 > 0:34:17in a Celtic-style ring.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18- Oh!- Oh!- Look at that!
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Very nice! - Have a handle.- Oh, it's very nice.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23- Solid silver? - Yes, Tim.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Solid silver, marked 925,
0:34:25 > 0:34:27so more likely to be continental.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It's just got a nice look about it. I've tried it on.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- I'm not really a ring man, but it's quite a weighty ring, Tim.- Mm-hm.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36It's decorative. It's got style.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39And my ladies who sparkle and glimmer and have a good glint...
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- I think it's pretty. - It is nice.- I think it's lovely.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Solid silver, it's bright and breezy, it's Celtic,
0:34:45 > 0:34:47it has a kind of traditional look to it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50How much could cost you, Charles? Did you spend all the money?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- It was the whole amount of £8.- Gosh! - But if that doesn't make £15-£25
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I'll be really disappointed.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Well done, Charles.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well, thank you very much for that, Charles.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Girls, you hang on, because now we'll ask the auctioneer
0:35:03 > 0:35:06what he thinks about Charles's ring.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10That's, er...gothic.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Hm. A nice Celtic band.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13Erm, silver.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Fairly light.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Doesn't look to be very old,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19and I would've thought... £10, £20.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Something like that. - OK.- £10, £30, that range.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24That cunning Charles Hanson only paid £8.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Can't go wrong at that.- I think that's pretty good, isn't it?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Yeah, it is. Fine. - Makes you want to marry him, really.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Well, perhaps not go that far.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- Anyway, you're taking the sale today, Colin?- I am, indeed.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36We're in safe hands.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41At 80, bid. 82? 82 on the net. 85? 85. 88?
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Do I see any more bids, then, 85?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47In the back seated row... Seated, at £85.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- OK, kids?- Yeah.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51- Happy?- Excited.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53You are so excited, aren't you?!
0:35:53 > 0:35:56It is leg-crossingly exciting!
0:35:56 > 0:36:00So, what's your prediction of how much profit you're going to make
0:36:00 > 0:36:02on the £242 you spent?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Oh, at least £5.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06You're that confident!
0:36:06 > 0:36:09OK, cross your legs. Be brave, and here we go.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Perival oak shop display cabinet, there we go.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13For real silk!
0:36:13 > 0:36:1680. £80 bid. Do I see 80? I'll take 50 to go, then. 50?
0:36:16 > 0:36:1950 bid. 55 bid. 60? And I'm bid 60. Five? 70 bid, five?
0:36:19 > 0:36:2380 bid. Five? 85 bid, 90. And five? 95? And 100?
0:36:23 > 0:36:27£100 bid. 10, surely. At £100. And 10 now, surely. At 110 bid.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28120, now?
0:36:28 > 0:36:30110, is all I'm bid. 120, now surely.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32- (Go on!)- 110, we're in the room. Are we all done?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35At 110, then. On my left, then. Selling at £110.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Oh, bad luck!
0:36:37 > 0:36:39110 is minus 10...
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Just almost...! - That is SO close.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45That is bottom-clenchingly close!
0:36:45 > 0:36:47A vintage washboard there. Who's going to start me at £30?
0:36:47 > 0:36:49£20? Ten to go, then. 10?
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Fiver to go, surely. Fiver? Five bid. Eight? Eight, bid. Ten? Ten bid. 12.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5312 bid. 15? 15 bid.
0:36:53 > 0:36:5718 now. At 18, 20? 20, am I bid? 20. Two, now - 22.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00At £20 bid. Two or not, now?
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Last call at £20.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Oh, no. So close again!
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Another clenched moment.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Minus £2.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0919th century oak chair in Arts and Crafts style.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10There we go, C-12 this one.
0:37:10 > 0:37:1380. £80.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14- £50. £50. 50. - No...!
0:37:14 > 0:37:16£50?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- I thought this was a nice chair. - No...!
0:37:18 > 0:37:2130 bid. 40 bid. 50, now? 50. 60?
0:37:21 > 0:37:2460 now. I have £50 bid. Five? 55, surely.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26At £50. 50 at the back of the room, then?
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Five or not now, then? Selling at £50...
0:37:29 > 0:37:31Every sting the book, eh?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- That's minus 50. - That's a real bath.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36That is 10, 12... That is minus £62.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I told you to be brave.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42By crikey, you have been.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45I'm so proud of you, kids.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Now, what are we going to do about the plaque?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- Are you going to go with it? - Going with it.- I like it.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Yeah.- We love it.- It's heavyweight. Let's look for a heavy profit.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Here it comes.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Lot number 188 is an 18th century lead plaque.
