0:00:04 > 0:00:08We're in Ardingly today, at the largest antiques fair in the south.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Will our teams go continental? Will our teams go oriental?
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Will our teams simply go completely crackers?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18There's only one way to find out. Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47So, with more than 1,500 stalls here,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50attracting thousands of people,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53our teams need to be quick, decisive and...
0:00:53 > 0:00:55on the ball.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58You could try and convert this one for £45.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Coming up on today's show...
0:01:03 > 0:01:05the Reds are competitive with themselves.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I think mine's going to make more money.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- Mine's going to make more than yours.- Don't know about that!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12While the Blues compete against the dealers.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13- 70?- 5.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- 70!- 5.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18But, before I give too much away, let's meet the teams.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24On the programme today, we have two pairs of happily married couples.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Well, they're happy at the moment.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29For the Reds, we have Richard and Sue,
0:01:29 > 0:01:31and for the Blues, Sarah and Kelvin.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello!
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Lovely to see you. Now, Sue, tell us what you get up to.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Well, for a job, I work for the Metropolitan Police as a typist.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Hello, hello!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42SHE LAUGHS Hello, hello!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And what sort of things do you type up?
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Mainly transcripts, statements, just make sure they're ready for court.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49And you've done this for how long?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- 31 years, so...- Gosh, that's...
0:01:51 > 0:01:53I'm older than most of the furniture there now!
0:01:53 > 0:01:55You mustn't own up to that.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And, Richard, it says here you've got incredibly green fingers.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Yes, I'm a gardener for about ten years now.- And where do you do that?
0:02:01 > 0:02:04A couple of nursing homes in Surbiton.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06All the residents are fantastic and you can have a chat to them
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and that, and mow the lawns and cut all the shrubs and the bushes,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11- so I really enjoy it.- Brilliant.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13And you've been doing this for ten years?
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Yes, at least ten years, yes.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Do they give you a long service award or a free place...?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- Not at the moment.- ..a free place in the home when your retirement comes?
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Probably, probably!- Oh, dear!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Now, you're extremely competitive with each other.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27We are, we love beating each other...not literally!
0:02:27 > 0:02:30And how did you meet?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34We met swimming at our local pool and I saw the lovely Sue
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- on the other side of the pool and I thought I could beat her!- Yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- But I jumped in and there was in absolutely no way.- Really?
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I was a whale, she was a dolphin.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Well, therefore, you were for endurance and she was for speed.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Well, yes.- That's a lucky partnership, isn't it?
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Yes, it is.- Are you looking forward to this bargain hunting lark?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- I'm really looking forward to it. - You're very competitive.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Are you going to be as competitive with the Blues?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Definitely with the Blues, but more with my husband.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- But more with your husband?- We'd love to beat the Blues, but as long
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- as I beat Sue.- I tell you, sparks are going to fly today. This is fun.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Kelvin, you've had a very special wedding, I hear.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08We did, yes, we actually went to Vegas and, on the spur of the moment,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10we decided we'd get married in Vegas,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13so we arrived in Vegas very jet-lagged and we got up
0:03:13 > 0:03:16in the early hours of the morning and decided that
0:03:16 > 0:03:18we'd have a wander round. We then got into a taxi
0:03:18 > 0:03:21to take us to a different place and mentioned it and he said,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24"Well, you can get all your documents sorted out,
0:03:24 > 0:03:26"cos the town hall's open 24 hours,"
0:03:26 > 0:03:29and we got the licence and on the way back, he said,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31"Well, the chapels are open 24 hours so you can get married
0:03:31 > 0:03:34"if you wish." And we both looked at each other, decided we would,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37so, at 3.30ish in the morning, we got married
0:03:37 > 0:03:40with the taxi driver as the witness and my stepson as the best man!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43I don't believe it! Well, that's one way of going about it, isn't it?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- It's very reasonable. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- It cost us about 70, it's very reasonable.- What, for the whole do?!
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Yes, for the whole do.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54I think you're going to be a bit cheap today on Bargain Hunt,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56aren't you? Not spend any money at all.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Um, now, you have an unusual job, Kelvin, tell us about that.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I'm an equine dentist, I do horse's teeth and I really enjoy it.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I love working with the horses... - Do they like you working with them?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Once I get them in the chair and sit them down, they're not too bad.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Really?- It's getting them in the chair that's the problem.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yeah, very good. You're not so keen on horses,
0:04:14 > 0:04:15but you love the donkeys, is that right?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yes, I breed miniature Mediterranean donkeys.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20So, how big are your little donkeys?
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Generally, they're from 30 to 33 inches in height.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Oh, so they're like a dog then, really.- Yes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Probably about the same sort of size as an Alsatian dog, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Good lord, well, that's extraordinary.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Now, look, the big question is with you two, today,
0:04:33 > 0:04:35we don't want any horsing about, right?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37We want you concentrating on the issue in hand.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- Are you happy for that? - BOTH: Yes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- Are you competitive too?- I am.- Yes. - Are you going to beat these Reds?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Oh, definitely, that's what we're here for.- That's what I like to hear.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Anyway, now the money moment. £300 apiece. There's £300.- Thank you.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49You know the rules, your experts await,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Now, I would not put my hand inside a horse's mouth. Oh, no!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Anyway, enough of my horsing around. We need some experts.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06The star of the fair for the Reds today is...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10And hoping to direct the Blues to a win is...
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Watch your back, girl!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20OK, guys, we've got 300 quid!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22But we've got to have some tactics.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25So, team, what are we looking for today?
0:05:25 > 0:05:26What's your plan?
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Probably something horsey.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- I'd like to get something unique and wacky.- All right.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35And I'd like something quirky and with a bit of character.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK, so who's the decision maker?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Always the woman.- Is it?!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- He's well trained! Well done! - Absolutely!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yes, we can be very competitive. I want to win.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- I am going to win.- No, I'm going to beat Sue on her item.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I want to make a bigger profit than Sue.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52But we're competing against the Blues?!
0:05:52 > 0:05:54We can hopefully beat the Blues as well.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- We're competing against each other. - Yes, we are.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Oh, a bit of marital disharmony?
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I wouldn't say that, just competitiveness.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04I'm looking forward to this!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Well, let's just keep our eyes peeled
0:06:06 > 0:06:08and get those trotters going.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, those 60 minutes will fly by, so get stuck in, teams.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18How old would this be?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Oh, this is from probably
0:06:21 > 0:06:25the 1940s or 1950s.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Um, it was a time just post-war,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31women wanted to get away from uniforms
0:06:31 > 0:06:33and they wanted a bit of glamour.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36They're not expensive things, but they're the sort of things that, if
0:06:36 > 0:06:41you put on your dressing table, you would feel like a Hollywood star.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Quite nice things.- I could do with that myself.- Oh, yeah, me too!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Me three!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47£12 for four pieces.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51What I would like to see in that item would be in a nice
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- fitted case so that it would make it complete.- OK.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58So, although it's not dear, I don't think we've got a great chance
0:06:58 > 0:07:00of making a profit on it,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03so I think...unless you've fallen in love with it...
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- It wouldn't earn me profit over my hubby at the moment.- Oh, right.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10So, I'm caught between the two of you?!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It looks like a bit of old tat to me!
0:07:13 > 0:07:15ANITA LAUGHS
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Give him a smack! - You go for it, you go for it!
0:07:17 > 0:07:20If you think that's going to make a profit, you go for it!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- We've got two competitions going on here.- Yes.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- I'll have a think abut it, then. - Which side am I going to be on?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Oh, you've got to be on mine. - I'm both, vote on both.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Good answer, Anita. Crikey, this is going to be a battle!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- Look at this.- Is it, like, a weathervane?- What do you think?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah, it looks like it, doesn't it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43We've got a bit missing there and then,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45obviously, as it turns around...
0:07:47 > 0:07:49..your horse, the mechanism...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Let's...there you go, you can have that bit.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55It's...the horse, at one point...
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- What do you think of that? - Uh! He's going backwards!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I love that! That's brilliant, isn't it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05It just appeals to my very childish nature, obviously.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06What do you think?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- I don't really like it.- Oh!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11It's a bit quirky, it's got a horse on it...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It hasn't got a proper tail.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Well...- It's lost its tail! - I can get you a tail!
0:08:17 > 0:08:19We're not fussed? No?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- No.- OK, all right, fair enough.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24So, it's a neigh for the weathervane
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and it's all about weather for the Reds, too.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Anita, what's that? What's this?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33This is a barometer.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- Very old or...?- It's very old. It's Victorian, it's quite a nice thing.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Um, what it does is...you hang it in your hall, you give it
0:08:42 > 0:08:47a wee tap, and the arrow will tell you what the weather's like.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50For myself, I like to just look out the window!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- But that's quite a nice thing. - It's very heavy as well.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Uh-huh, it's quite substantial.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59How much is your barometer?
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- 45 quid.- £45.- Oh, it's a bit steep that, isn't it?
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Do you like it, Rich?- Is it working? Let's have a look at
0:09:06 > 0:09:08what it says today. It says change. Is that right?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11TRADER: It's possible. We might get a shower.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12(Come here. Closer, closer, closer...)
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Yes?
0:09:14 > 0:09:15(Offer him £20.)
0:09:15 > 0:09:21- He won't take that, but it'll give you a platform for bargaining.- Yeah.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Now, do you want to bargain, or do you want to bargain?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27I think it might be better for you to start with it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29I'll bargain, I'll bargain.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33So, you're competing against him, but you're trusting him to bargain.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37- Yeah, I am.- I'll try and get you the best deal, if you like the item.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39If you can't, then I'll have a go.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- What's your best price on it? - I'll drop a fiver on it.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It's new stock, it's fresh to the market today.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46We were thinking about £18, £20.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48I can't do it, I'm afraid.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Well...- 35.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54As I say, it's brand-new stock today, so everything I put out today at the
0:09:54 > 0:09:58moment is brand-new, apart from... Me old friends are coming out now.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- How about 34, cos it normally goes up in 5s in the auction?- 34...
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- They're triers!- Cor, dear! For a pound?
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Yeah, well, that pound could make us a profit!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Go on, then, 34 is OK. - Fantastic! Fantastic!
0:10:10 > 0:10:15So, that's Sue's items in the bag with a little help from her hubby.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16One down!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21That's rather beautiful, isn't it? Great figuring to the wood.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24So, before you had your tea bags, obviously,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27you would blend your tea, so you would have your black tea here and
0:10:27 > 0:10:32green tea and you'd be storing them in these caskets,
0:10:32 > 0:10:33and you would make your own blend.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36So, the bigger examples have a central mixing bowl as well,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38so that you can make your own mix,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41and it would be kept under lock and key because tea was so expensive.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43What's your thoughts? Do you like it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- I do like it, yeah. - Do you want to ask a price on it?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Yeah, yeah.- Yeah? See what he says.- It's £450.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- No, it is not, surely!- It is.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54THEY LAUGH
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Can we take a few noughts off it?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- It is that price.- Is it? - Yeah.- Is it?- Yeah.- Really?
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Why?- It's just nice. It's mechanical, it's...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Yeah, but it's not that, surely?! - It is.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10I've been offered 300. We'll take 320.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14Well, it's lovely, but it's not that lovely.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Obviously, we've got terribly good taste!- Absolutely!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I think we'll put it straight back there.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I think you should, Christina. Crikey!
0:11:22 > 0:11:24Perhaps there was a pot of gold inside.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Meanwhile, Richard's spotted one of the big five.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31METALLIC KNOCKING
0:11:31 > 0:11:32This is a cast metal.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37It's rather naively cast, you know, where the form has been simplified?
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- Yeah.- I don't think it's terribly, terribly, terribly old.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I don't think it's a Victorian one, it's probably 20th century,
0:11:45 > 0:11:46but I do like it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It's like the...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- It's almost a stylised shape.- Yeah.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Tell me what you like about it.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58I think it's a bit unusual and a bit rugged.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It's rugged just like you!- Oh, yes.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05And it's fat, a bit like me as well! Yeah, a bit around the middle, yeah!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07My daughter's just got back from Africa,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09looking after baby rhinos.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That must be there for you, then.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14There's a little rhino called Timby.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- So, this is a wee Timby lookalike. - Yeah.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Well, we all like a Timby.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22I suppose it all depends on...what do you think this would be worth?
0:12:22 > 0:12:27You're not talking about huge amounts of money, but let's ask
0:12:27 > 0:12:31about it, because I think it's got something to do with your family.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- Yeah.- It's a stocky sort of creature, a bit like yourself. - Yes, exactly!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And it looks a bit like Timby, your daughter's baby...
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I thought you were going to say it looks like me!- No, no, no, no!
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- I'm not answering you two! Jeez! - Let's go and find the dealer.- OK.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47So, as the Reds track down the owner,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51the Blues have moved inside to look at something shiny.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53- Now...- It's quite light, it doesn't feel very...
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Oh, it is quite... OK, so, enamel work was always really quite popular.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Really, really quite popular. Let's have a look.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03So, we've got a little locket in there and it's got £78 on it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- That is quite pricey.- That's quite expensive for its weight, isn't it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Yeah, but it is quite pretty. What do you think?
0:13:10 > 0:13:14I don't mind it, but it's not something I would choose, but...
0:13:14 > 0:13:16OK, well, let's put it back and keep wandering,
0:13:16 > 0:13:18but I do think we need to get something bought,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22so let's have a really good look and I want you to really shout out
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- what you really, really like, OK? - Will do.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26You do need to shout out, Blues.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28You've still to buy your first item,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32but how are the Reds getting on with Richard's rhino?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Have you done the deal?- We have. It's a hollow bronze.- Uh-huh.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39And he wanted 45, and we've got him down to 40.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That's fine. That's fine.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I think he's a great wee chap.
0:13:43 > 0:13:44He's a bit unusual
0:13:44 > 0:13:48and I think he was just standing there waiting for you to come along.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- Are you both happy?- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Number two down, one to go and well done.- Yes!
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- We love our items, don't we?- We do. - We do.- Come on, let's go.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01So, that's one item each, Reds, and two up on the Blues.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- We've had 20 minutes, so we really need to get buying.- Yeah.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10So, is there anything on here that you think looks like
0:14:10 > 0:14:11it might be a possibility?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13- I like this.- This one here? OK.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It looks like it's been made into some kind of jewellery cabinet.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20It's been re-lined and made into 21st century use,
0:14:20 > 0:14:21which is quite nice.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- Yeah.- Rather than being your average box.- Yeah.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Are you interested in that? - I do like it, yes.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Do you want to ask on a price? - Yeah, I can do that.- Yeah?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32How much do you think value wise for that?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Well, let's just see what he thinks.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Is there any flexibility on the price?
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Yes.- Oh, good.- What are we talking?
0:14:38 > 0:14:40I love you already.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43- 80.- 80? Is that your bottom book on that one?
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- That's me bottom book. - That's your bottom book.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47What's your thoughts?
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Um...I think 80's a bit expensive, can you do any better than that?
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Come on.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55HE GROWLS AND THEY LAUGH
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- 70?- Go on.- 5.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01- 70.- 5.
0:15:01 > 0:15:02- 70.- 5.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- £72.50.- He's sticking to it. I like a man that sticks to his guns.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I don't.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I'm trying to help!
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- 75.- If you like it... - Yeah, let's take that then.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20Let's do it. There we go, shake the man's hand.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Well done, Blues, that's your first purchase,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27but keep that energy up. You're still one behind the Reds,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29who have found a new friend.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32How much?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Uh...400.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36400?! Oh!
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It's a bit rich for us. It's good though.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Very colourful, very unique!
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Now, amazingly,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Christina's just found something related to Kelvin's past.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49"Coventry Climax fork lift trucks."
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I used to work on those. - Did you? Really?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Yeah, really, yeah, I used to work there. When I originally started,
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I'm a mechanic by trade.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59And we used to work on Coventry Climax fork lift trucks.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02That's amazing. You used to work on Coventry Climax fork lift trucks,
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- and I've just picked that up. - You have, yes.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07We used to have a few of them in the warehouse which
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- we used to work on now and again, gas-powered, usually.- Really?- Yes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14- You can't leave without that, Kelvin.- Yes.- It's found you.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- Yeah, I suppose so.- We haven't found it, it's found us.- It's found us.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21£35 is a bit expensive for a yard, isn't it, though?
0:16:21 > 0:16:22What's your best on that one?
0:16:22 > 0:16:27- 25.- 25?- Yeah?- 15.- Ooh! Ooh!- 25.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- 20, you can do it for 20.- 20, he can probably do it for 20, yeah.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- Do it for 20. We'll have that for 20. - You don't need me here at all!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- £20, sir.- Yeah.- Thank you very much.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Can we ask Sarah whether she wants to buy it, or...?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- No, no, it's my choice, my choice. - Fine, fine, yeah, I'm happy.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42She'll beat me with it later.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47I'm sure she will, but good job, Kelvin.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49You've certainly lifted our spirits.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Now, teams, you both have one item left to buy.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Will it be team efforts all round?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- OK, Sarah, you bought something that you love.- Yeah.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Kelvin, you bought something that...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- Well, it's different, yes. - ..you love.- Oh, yeah, yeah.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09You've bought an item that you like. You've bought an item that you like.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10So, what happens next?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Do we try and agree for once?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14What are we going to go for now? I think we should buy
0:17:14 > 0:17:17something that we're a bit together on, maybe.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Something horsey. - Something horsey, right.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20It's starting to rain.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23There's a change in the weather, we'd better get inside.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- You know, I reckon your barometer is absolutely right.- Yes.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31That's a spot of luck, Reds.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Now, jump to it.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34There's a nice one there,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37but it's quite expensive. £420, the frog.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Although you maybe want to spend some money,
0:17:39 > 0:17:40you do have a limited budget.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Yes, we do have a budget. - We do, we do.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Yes, hop on, Reds!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47What do you think of this little chap?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- It's cute, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- It's a stripy horse, sort of. - Yes!
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So, originally, I mean, this is a little tin plate toy.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00It says, "Made in China" there, so relatively modern, really,
0:18:00 > 0:18:02and he would have had a key originally.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Do we have the key? - TRADER: I don't have the key, no.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06We don't have the key, sadly.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08He would have probably galloped along, originally.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I think, if he had the key, he'd probably sell quite well really,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- cos I've not seen a zebra before, they're quite fun.- Yeah.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- But without the key, really, that's quite fundamental.- OK.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19All right. We'll put him back.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Leave him there to gallop along the top of that box and we'll carry on.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27So, from a zebra to a bird of paradise,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29these teams are animal mad.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35That's exquisite. What a good eye you have. She's a clever girl.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37She is, she is.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41What we've got is one of the best silversmiths
0:18:41 > 0:18:44of the 20th century, David Andersen.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49From Oslo, he was one of the best enamellers
0:18:49 > 0:18:53and the best designers of that period.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56What we've got to look for here is, um,
0:18:56 > 0:19:01that there's no damage on the enamel, that's very, very important.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06And, as far as I can see, it's in perfect condition. Perfect.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09But what I really do like about this, and we see lots of this
0:19:09 > 0:19:15artist's work in the salesrooms, but this is quite a big statement piece.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17What price have we?
0:19:17 > 0:19:19TRADER: It's 245 on it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- How much money do we have left? - We don't have that much.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- What would your best price be? - 200.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Well, 190?
0:19:28 > 0:19:32195, that is the bottom price. Sorry.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Well, that's a very small profit. - I think that's a very good offer.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- So, that's a good... - Are you happy?- I'm happy, yes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It's unusual and it's...you don't see it every day.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It stands out and...you know.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- It has that wow factor.- Yes.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51It's very delicate and it's totally the opposite to the rhino.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Yes, Beauty and the Beast!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Beauty and the Beast indeed, Richard.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Well done, Reds, that's your last purchase,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03but are the Blues on the final stretch?
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- She's back.- You guys, look, look, look, look, look!
0:20:08 > 0:20:14- So, horsey and foal, well, they don't come as a pair.- Oh, OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- That's a shame.- But this little chap, he's solid silver.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19He's got a London hallmark.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23It's definitely 20th century, I'd say probably 1980s, 1990s,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26it's not "old" old, but it's solid silver.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I think it's really quite commercial.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I mean, he's a good-looking thing, isn't he? If you like horses.- Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33And then I thought this is an alternative, potentially,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36and that's a little foal, which is really, really sweet.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Again, solid silver, it's got a good British hallmark.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Probably not as finely cast, I don't think.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44The features aren't picked out quite as beautifully,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47but it is smaller, obviously, so more difficult to create.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50This one is 75, this one is 55.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Up to you.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I think the foal is more miniature for us, so, yeah, definitely.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Because you do miniature...is it miniature donkeys?
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Well, I can't magic him into a donkey!
0:21:04 > 0:21:09I like them both actually, I do, but I think I prefer the foal.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- I prefer the foal, definitely. - Do you?- Yeah.- OK.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- I would advise you that I think this has more commercial appeal.- OK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16But, if you like that one.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20We need to go with the commercial appeal, don't we?
0:21:20 > 0:21:21- OK.- No, it's up to you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I want you to buy it because you love it, and
0:21:23 > 0:21:26if you love that one, then that's the one that you should go for.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- It's your call. - I do like the foal, yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Definitely the foal then. I think we need to agree on something
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- at least today.- Yeah.- We'll agree on the foal.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Have you agreed on it? - Yes, it's a first.- Oh, my gosh!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40So, it's the foal for £55.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Oh, it's great when a plan comes together, teams.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I think I've done pretty well today,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- and I think mine's going to make more money.- Mine's going to make more than you.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- I don't know about that.- It will. - I think mine will make more.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Not too keen on your box much, I must admit.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55It's not exactly what I would have chosen myself.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Yeah, but it's better than a stick.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59You're not going to live that one down, Kelvin!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01So, after all that fun and games,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought, eh?
0:22:05 > 0:22:09First up, Sue spent £34 on the Victorian carved oak barometer.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15The contemporary cast bronze rhino cost Richard £40.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18And they came together for the blue enamel and silver
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Scandinavian brooch paying £195. Wow.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25- So, everybody happy?- Very happy.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28It seemed like a great experience. Was it?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- It was, it was fantastic. - Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34My favourite was the bird of paradise brooch.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36The bird of paradise brooch. Good.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38And that would naturally be your favourite too,
0:22:38 > 0:22:39wouldn't it, Richard?
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- No, mine was the rhino. - The rhino.- Yes.- Jolly nice.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44And will the rhino bring the biggest profit?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47- I'm hoping so, I'm hoping to beat Sue.- Oh, really? Like that, is it?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51- Yes.- Oh, dear! OK, and how much did you spend?
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- £269.- 269 is one short of 70,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58so I'd like £31, please, of leftover lolly.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Thank you very much.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Now, Anita Manning,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04you are the expert in transforming one thing into the other.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05What's your idea today?
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Well, I've had a wonderful time working with this pair
0:23:10 > 0:23:13and I have my idea, keeping on that theme,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- about another pair of somethings just for you.- Oh!
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Not more lovebirds, I hope! Whoa, she's very coy!
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Sounds interesting.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Yes.- OK, well, we're longing to find out and thank you very much, Anita.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:23:30 > 0:23:34'Sarah spend £75 on the Victorian rosewood and maple jewellery box.'
0:23:35 > 0:23:39To Kelvin's delight, he got the fork lift yardstick for £20.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43'And, finally, as a team,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46'they bought the silver miniature study of a foal for £55.'
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Well, team, was that fun?- Yes.- Yes.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Now, how much of your lolly did you spend?- £150.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56I'd like £150 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Thank you very much, Kelvin, that's lovely.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Tell me, Sarah, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I would say the silver foal is my favourite piece.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- That's your favourite. Would you agree with that?- I do.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- I did like the little silver foal, very nice.- OK.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- That was the last thing we bought. - The last thing.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11And is the foal going to make the biggest profit?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- I think maybe the wooden box might. - The wooden box?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18I'd have to agree, unfortunately, because it wasn't my buy,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20but I do think the wooden box, the jewellery box,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22is probably the one that might make it.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Well, that's got the predictions and that's brilliant.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29£150 of leftover lolly goes straight to CT.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31- Why, thank you!- So, what are you going to spend that on?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Ooh, gosh, I don't know.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It's all been quite equine, so I'm thinking I might veer away slightly.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38What? Go bovine?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41- Yeah, maybe, you never know!- Which would be marvellous, wouldn't it?
0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Maybe something without legs.- What? Some legless herbivore?- Possibly!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Anyway, very, very, very good luck, teams.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Meanwhile, why don't we put our best foot forward, what?
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Cha, cha, cha! Hey! Well, I'm going to be very glad to put this down.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Look.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Now, when was the last time you went maypole dancing?
0:25:18 > 0:25:19I suspect a wee while ago,
0:25:19 > 0:25:26but you know, you're never more than 364 days away from the 1st of May,
0:25:27 > 0:25:31which could be a very good reason to trot off out there
0:25:31 > 0:25:35onto your village green and have a bit of a fertility dance,
0:25:35 > 0:25:40because the whole maypole dancing tradition goes way back.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43All you've got to do is to find a few maidens to hang onto
0:25:43 > 0:25:48the end of these ribbons and, hey presto, you will be away!
0:25:48 > 0:25:52What's nice about this particular maypole is that it's portable,
0:25:52 > 0:25:53as you've seen.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It dates from probably the 1950s and it's been in the wars
0:25:57 > 0:26:00cos one of the girls, a bit too enthusiastic,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02has managed to break the tape.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06And what they did in 1965 was to take a bit of stylish
0:26:06 > 0:26:09paisley material and stitch that on, and then they ran out of that
0:26:09 > 0:26:13colour, and they stitched on the purpley-blue bit onto the end.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Marvellous, isn't it?
0:26:14 > 0:26:18Anyway, fancy a bit of maypole dancing, come to Ardingly,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20go to the dealer and make him an offer
0:26:20 > 0:26:24on the £65 asking price for this particular maypole.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29And, curiously, associated with maypoles in my mind
0:26:29 > 0:26:32are morris dancers. I know they don't actually go round the pole,
0:26:32 > 0:26:37but it's the same sort of tradition, and, lo and behold, here,
0:26:37 > 0:26:42if you want to seriously invest in Ardingly is, apparently,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44a morris dancer's staff.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Now, I'm not an expert on this morris dancing lark,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52but when I saw this old boot, I knew that this boot was special.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56OK, fine, it's been painting pink, it's got a white toecap look,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00but look at the sole of that boot.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Has that not got character?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07It certainly has. This is a boot that dates from 1900.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12Maybe that somebody in 1960 has applied a wooden pole,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15painted it with pink and white bands,
0:27:15 > 0:27:17a few ribbons added to the top,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20and then, of course, like all good morris dancers,
0:27:20 > 0:27:24a trip to the pub, which has involved a series of beer tops,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27which have been nailed to the staff.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30But they are, of course, not just beer tops.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34They're part of the musical accompaniment. For example...
0:27:34 > 0:27:35RATTLING
0:27:37 > 0:27:38How good is that?!
0:27:38 > 0:27:42This, believe it or not, is a collectable,
0:27:42 > 0:27:44and if you're in the morris dancing fraternity,
0:27:44 > 0:27:48you would probably pay a lot of money for this.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52How much, for example? Well, could be...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54£20, if you're lucky.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56HE CHANTS
0:28:07 > 0:28:12Well, we've made an amazing leap from West Sussex, Ardingly,
0:28:12 > 0:28:17to Chiswick High Road to High Road Auctions to be with Ross Mercer.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- Ross, good morning.- Good morning, Tim.- Well, what have our teams got?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24The pressure's rising. How do you rate the barometer?
0:28:24 > 0:28:28A good example of an English made barometer.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31They do sell, but not as well as they used to.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33OK, fair enough. How much?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Well, we said £30 to £50.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Good enough for us. £34 is what it needs to achieve!
0:28:39 > 0:28:44So, we're happy with that. Now, what about the not-so-old rhino?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Not so old, indeed, and a pretty loose cast really,
0:28:48 > 0:28:52but a lot of people collect them and it speaks for itself, really.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55It does, really. How much do you rate it at?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Well, we've said £40 to £60.
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Good enough for us.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01£40 is all they paid, so we're doing very well at the moment,
0:29:01 > 0:29:02Ross, thank you.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04And, lastly, we've got this
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Scandinavian blue enamelled on silver gilt brooch.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- How do you rate that, Ross? - I like that, Tim.
0:29:09 > 0:29:14Lovely quality for what it is and it screams Scandinavia in the middle of
0:29:14 > 0:29:17the 20th century and, luckily, good condition when it comes to enamel.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Yes, it's quite a chunky thing, isn't it?
0:29:20 > 0:29:24It is, it's quite ostentatious, but on the right overcoat, perhaps.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28- Yes, and blue's your favourite colour.- It is, actually.- Is it?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Oh, OK. How much is it worth, do you think?
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Well, we've gone in quite cautiously
0:29:33 > 0:29:35because it is only silver and silver gilt,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37we've said £60 to £100,
0:29:37 > 0:29:41but, I dare say on a good day, following wind, £120, £150 perhaps.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Do you feel the wind rising?
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- I do today.- Oh, good. That's helpful, cos they paid £195...
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Wow.- ..which is a big old number, isn't it?- It is.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53And that could be their comeuppance, and if it is, they're going
0:29:53 > 0:29:56to need their bonus buy, so, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Well, well, well, this is the leftover lolly moment.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Are you excited by this, Susan?- Very excited.- What about you, Richard?
0:30:04 > 0:30:09- Yes, can't wait.- You gave Anita £31. Anita, what did you spend it on?
0:30:09 > 0:30:13Well, these were such a lovely pair, I felt that I had to buy a pair
0:30:13 > 0:30:19of something, so I bought a pair of these lovely little WMF vases.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- Oh!- I think they're lovely. - Have a wee look at them.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27These date from probably the turn of the century, the early 1900s.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33WMF, the best of German manufacturers,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36and they were terrific in that they seemed to embrace
0:30:36 > 0:30:41the style of the day and a period that they were particularly famous
0:30:41 > 0:30:47for was the Art Nouveau period, and these come from this period here.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- They're looking very good.- They look lovely. They really are nice.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I think they're lovely, I really do. If I didn't like them, I'd say.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- I think they're lovely.- Oh, good. - What did you pay for them?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- £15.- Woo! That's good.- That is good.- That's really good.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04- I hope that they'll go to maybe around about 35.- Wow.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- You could double your money. - Wow.- Wow.- Fantastic.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Or maybe I'm a bit optimistic on that.- No!- No!
0:31:12 > 0:31:16No, you go marching forward ever confident, Anita. That's my girl.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Anyway, you don't have to choose right now,
0:31:18 > 0:31:21but, right now, we'll find out, for the audience at home,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's little vases.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28There we go, look, chaps. A pair of 'em.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32And are they embossed or cast? Probably cast, aren't they?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35They...yes, they look cast to me.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39A great manufacturer started back in the 18...early '50s, um,
0:31:39 > 0:31:43and represent a lot of modernist metalware in the late 19th
0:31:43 > 0:31:47and early 20th century, probably for the Dutch market, of course, with...
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Well, these would be, wouldn't they? Absolutely.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I've got a pair of Dutch children here having a kiss.
0:31:52 > 0:31:53How's yours getting on?
0:31:53 > 0:31:58I think they might be saying goodbye, and hence the boats on the back.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- The young sailor's farewell. - OK, how much then?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Well, for these, we've said £30 to £50.
0:32:03 > 0:32:09OK, well, £15 was paid by Anita Manning and she's very cunning
0:32:09 > 0:32:11when it comes to these things, so, hopefully,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14if the team go with them, they'll bring a profit.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Now, that's it for the Reds. Now, for the Blues.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19And what a weird mix we've got here, Ross, haven't we?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22So, for a kick off then, the jewellery box, which has got,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I guess, a brand-new interior and all that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27It has, yes, it's been re-lined and it's been re-polished.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Someone's looked after it, probably the last time it changed hands.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33In essence, a good quality box.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35What's it likely to bring in the auction?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Well, we've said £60 to £80.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39I think it's a very attractive box,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42it's going to go, at that level, to a private buyer
0:32:42 > 0:32:45who falls in love with it, come and put their Cartier in, perhaps.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Exactly, and it is very practical from that point of view.
0:32:48 > 0:32:5060 to 80, you say, £75 paid,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52so, they're pretty well on the button, really.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Now, the measuring stick...
0:32:54 > 0:32:59Do you know anybody who collects fork lift trucks by any chance?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Funnily enough, I don't, Tim.- Oh.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- And I know less people who like to measure their trucks as well.- Yeah.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10But it is a passionate collecting field, commercial vehicles,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13and we've had quite a lot of interest on the internet.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Have you?- Yes.- So, how much?
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- We said £30 to £50. - Oh, goody! £20 paid.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22At last, a straight-up profit without a breath, we hope.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- They've done well, though.- They have.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Now, have they done so well with their miniature silver foal?
0:33:28 > 0:33:29Well, it's contemporary,
0:33:29 > 0:33:33which will put out any of the antique silver collectors.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- However, the equine market is very strong.- OK, how much?
0:33:36 > 0:33:41- We've said £40 to £60.- OK, £55 paid. That could be a bit of a problem.
0:33:41 > 0:33:42Let's check out the bonus buy.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Kelvin, Sarah, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52You gave Christina £150. Darling, what did you spend it on?
0:33:52 > 0:33:53- Are you ready? - We're ready.- We think so.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- There we go.- Ah! We've seen... - We've seen that before, yes.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I know you two, and I know I said I was going to veer away
0:34:03 > 0:34:06from equine things, but I couldn't leave it there,
0:34:06 > 0:34:10I just couldn't, but it's solid silver hallmarked for 1985
0:34:10 > 0:34:12and there is a maker's mark on there as well,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15so it's a really attractive little thing.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Has it got a good maker's mark, do you know?- Yeah, I think so.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I think it's JS & MJ from memory, which is...it's not antique, it is a
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- relatively modern thing...- Yeah. - ..but I thought that you guys would
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- love it.- It is lovely, and we couldn't decide at the time which
0:34:26 > 0:34:28one to go for, could we? So, it was quite difficult, I must admit.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31It's very well put together as well, isn't it?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- It is very well cast, yeah. - It ain't a donkey though, is it?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- Unfortunately, no. - It's got four legs!
0:34:37 > 0:34:38- It's close!- It's close!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Now, I paid £70 for it, OK?
0:34:44 > 0:34:45So, I would say, at auction,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48we would be looking maybe somewhere in the region of 80 to 120.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I think, if you make a profit, it will probably be quite
0:34:51 > 0:34:54a small profit, but I just thought...I couldn't leave it there.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- I did like it as well.- Good.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Anyway, you've got the information. You don't pick now, you pick later.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Why don't we find out whether the auctioneer likes Christina's pick.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Well, the way we're going on, we're going to need a horsebox!
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Probably the next purchase!
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Slightly larger than the last lot we handled and similar execution,
0:35:14 > 0:35:18quality wise. Nicely hallmarked, again, a strong collecting field.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- We should get this away.- At how much?
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- Well, we've said £60 to £80. - OK, Christina's invested 70.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Again, there isn't anything that's likely to ignite anybody
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and go stratospheric, but, still, there we are.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34We'll have to rest on your skills as an auctioneer, Ross.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Your confidence is well placed, Tim. - Well said!
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Your bid, sir, at 100 and done.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45So, Richard, Sue, how are you feeling?
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Fine.- Are you?- Absolutely fine. I'm positive.- Very excited. Can't wait.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50- Optimistic.- Are you?- Yep.- Yes.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52How do you think your barometer's going to do?
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- I think it's going to do well. - So does the auctioneer.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- £30 to £50 he's put on it. - Fantastic.- You put £34.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02How do you think your black rhino's going to do?
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Very well.- I'm not sure about that. I'm hoping it's going to be lucky.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Well, I think it's going to be OK.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- According to the auctioneer, he says £40 to £60. You paid £40.- Fantastic.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14How do you think your Scandinavian jewellery's going to go?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16- So, so. - I think it's going to go fine,
0:36:16 > 0:36:19but I went on a bit of a spending spree with it.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- I've spent quite a lot. - You spent £195.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24The auctioneer doesn't think it stands a snowflake's chance in a
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- warm place of going for more than £100.- Oh!- But what you have got,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32is the two spill vases to fall back on, haven't you?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35- Definitely.- Yes. - Anita's lovely vases.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Anyway, first up is the barometer, and here it comes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39We've got high hopes for this one,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42the Victorian carved aneroid barometer.
0:36:42 > 0:36:43A lot of interest in the lot.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Bids start against you all, £30 I am bid at 30. 5...
0:36:46 > 0:36:48(A good start. That's a good start.)
0:36:48 > 0:36:50- - 5 now. £45, bid 50.- Yes. - - Yes!
0:36:50 > 0:36:54£50 now I have at 50. Any further interest?
0:36:54 > 0:36:5655 now on the internet at 55.
0:36:56 > 0:37:02At £55, he shakes his head at 55. All done? Selling now at £55.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- Yes!- That's £55.- Well done, well done.- What a start.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- So, 34 to 55 should be plus 21. - Excellent!
0:37:08 > 0:37:09That was your gain.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Lot 21, the contemporary cast bronze study of a black rhino.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16£20, surely. 20 bid. 5 now.
0:37:16 > 0:37:2025, bid 30. 5, 35, 40.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22At £40, left-hand side at 40.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24All done? Last chance at 40.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- You paid 40.- At £40.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Sue won, hands down there, Richard!
0:37:29 > 0:37:33- Now, the brooch.- It looks beautiful. - Beautiful. A beautiful thing.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36A lot of interest again in the peacock brooch.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40Bids start against you all at £75. Bids start at 75.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42It's got a long way to go.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45At £80, I am bid 5. At 85, 90.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50At £90, it stands at 90. 95, 100, 100 bid.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52At £100 I have in the room, 110.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57- At 110, all done? Selling now at £110...- Go on!
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Aww!- Unfortunately, that's minus £85.- Oh, no!
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Which means that's 4, and it means you're minus 64.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Never mind.- Never mind. - We've got Anita's.
