0:00:02 > 0:00:06With its expansive vistas, stately homes and country estates,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Derbyshire has featured in many a TV period drama.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15But, today, we've got our own special brand of drama.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18So, lights, cameras, action.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Let's go bargain hunting. Yeah.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52There's no need to go up hill and down dale for our teams today
0:00:52 > 0:00:55here in Derby, because they're all under one roof.
0:00:56 > 0:00:58And what a great roof that is.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Let's have a quick peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05On today's programme, the Reds are ready to rock.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- Whilst the Blues revert to childhood.- I absolutely love it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16I've got children,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18and you can't pick them up like this any more, you know?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21But will there be cheers or tears at the auction?
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- And I can tell you I'm at 28. - Well done. Hey.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's all get introduced.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32So, on the programme today, we've got two teams of friends.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35For the Reds, we've got Russ and Rob,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38- and for the Blues, we've got Becky and Terry. Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- Hello.- Lovely to see you. Now, music brought you two together.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43- Is that right?- That's right, yep.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- We first met one another about seven years ago.- Summat like that.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49About right, isn't it? Working for a music retailer.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51So did you just hit it off then?
0:01:51 > 0:01:54When we found out we were into the same sort of music that's when we...
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- So what is your type of music? - I like a bit of everything.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00My main passion is rock music.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03And has that expanded your CD collection as a result?
0:02:03 > 0:02:07I've got around and about 3,000 CDs,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- and then there's the records to add on to that.- You jest.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- It's about right. - You still working in the music shop?
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Unfortunately, not any more. No, I've moved over to become a postman now.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I like doing long-distance walks,
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and so I've been able to transfer that into my new job.
0:02:22 > 0:02:23Well, that's very nice, isn't it?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Do you know how many miles you walk a day then?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Between six and ten miles a day. - That's amazing, isn't it?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Good for you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35Now, Rob, when you're not at work you're still involved with music.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Yeah. I'm always involved in music one way or another.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I've got some guitar students that I teach guitar to,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44and I'm in a tribute band, a covers band, called Flatfoot,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and we play, like, weddings, birthday parties.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- What sort of music?- Rock'n'roll, Beatles, Creedence, The Stones.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54What sort of things are you going to buy together today, do you think?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Well, being as we are all musicians, we've got this music thing going on,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00we want to find some cool old instrument or something musical.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01- Something along that vein.- Yep.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05Anyway, welcome to the programme, it's going to be great.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Now, girls, unlike the boys you met socially, didn't you?- Yes.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10That's right, yeah. We met about four years ago.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Becky was introduced to me by her boyfriend,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14who I worked with at the time.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16She came to a housewarming of mine,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18and we've hit it off ever since, really.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- And you go on holiday and all that lark?- Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- We went to Tenerife first, didn't we?- Yeah.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25That was when we really started being quite close.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Since then it's been lovely.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31And, Becky, being sociable is part of your job, isn't it?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Yeah, I'm a carer in the community.
0:03:32 > 0:03:37So I visit the elderly in their own homes, looking after them,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40and just trying to make them smile is what I enjoy the most.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42- They all watch Bargain Hunt, right? - Of course.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- And they all can't wait to see me on it.- I bet they can't.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, that's going to be fun.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48So, Terry, you work for a charity shop, yeah?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I used to work for a charity shop. I worked there four years.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52I now work for a car retailer.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I'm fascinated in the charity shops.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56- Who sorts the good stuff from the bad stuff?- That was me.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59So you're going to be terribly good on Bargain Hunt today, aren't you?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, I hope so, but I won't have the internet to hand to check.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Is that what you use in the charity shop?- Ordinarily.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07You see something come in, see a mark on the bottom,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09then I'd go on the internet and have a check.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Anyway, we'll kick off with £300 apiece. Here we go.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13Here's your £300.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16You know the rules. Your experts await, and off you go.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Very, very, very good luck.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Well, what cracking contestants.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25All we need now is an expert or two and the teams are complete.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27The Reds won't stand on ceremony
0:04:27 > 0:04:31as they've got Drill Sergeant Nick Hall,
0:04:31 > 0:04:35and the Blues have the practically perfect Jonathan Pratt.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Well, here we are, guys. We're going to rock this gig, aren't we?
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- Yeah, of course we are.- Absolutely.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- You love your music memorabilia, don't you?- That's right, yeah.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47That's got to be our thing.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49We've got to find some rock and pop for you.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- So, ladies, I hear you're a couple of party animals.- Of course.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- Took the day off.- What's going to be the highlights of today?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Well, we're looking for some... I want some owl things. I love owls.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- And, hopefully, something with a profit on it.- Absolutely.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Well, look, there's plenty of stuff in here. Let's get stuck in.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08I'm looking for old toys and anything that takes my fancy, really.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, let's go and see if we can find something
0:05:10 > 0:05:12that takes your fancy. Come on.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14OK, you're on the clock.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Already the Reds look to be hitting the right note.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21I've spotted something.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25A little bird tells me that we might want to start looking over there.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I don't know what it could possibly be,
0:05:27 > 0:05:31but there's something that's drawing me over here I think you might like.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Oh, wow! I like that.- Oh, hello!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Got my body double.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43I've got two rock gods here with me today, looking for a bargain,
0:05:43 > 0:05:47that collect and play and are just music through and through.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50So, what's your instant thoughts? I mean, what...
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Wow is my instant thought!- The banjo?- The banjolele, yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It's a mandolin banjolele. DEALER:- It's a manjolele.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- A manjolele?- Yeah.- Wow!- Yeah.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Or is it a banjolin? - Give us a tune, go on.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- Well, at least a little tinkle. - It's probably out of tune.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07No, it's in.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Yeah, it's horribly out of tune. - I'm going to pass the hat round.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Give generously, or he'll carry on.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Well, we don't know how much it is yet, so maybe we should...
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Well, let's just ask him how much it is.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24- How much do you want for your mandolele?- I want 120 quid for it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- What's the name on that?- John Grey & Sons.- You don't have to decide yet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30We've got most of our hour still to go,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- and all of the budget still to spend.- You're right.- Very true.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- You don't have to blow it just yet, but...- We may be coming back.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39DEALER: I think you should blow it just now, don't listen to him.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Ha! You can't blame a man for trying.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Talking of men trying, how's JP getting on?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- I really like that pushchair. - Why do you like the pushchair?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Is it the maternal instinct coming out in you?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Oh, God, don't tell my boyfriend.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57I like the proper prams anyway, but I've always wanted, like, a toy one.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Go down the side, and have a look at it, and see what you think.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- It's only 28.- Is the hood in nice order? I don't know.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- Is there a name on there? - I can't see any name.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08What you have here is a little child's pram from the
0:07:08 > 0:07:11'50s or '60s perhaps. It's quite simply made.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13A sort of, almost, like, riveted metal sheets.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Transfers with little bears and animals on, which is rather sweet.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Hood's in nice condition, and nicely faded, as you'd expect.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Looks the part, doesn't it? A little bit of rust, but nothing too bad.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- I absolutely love it.- What's it on at?- 28.- Let's see what we can do.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31- Give her a smile! - Would you take 15 for the pushchair?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Now, this dealer is a bit camera shy.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38DEALER: If we were going to reduce it we'd be looking at about 24.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42This isn't with it either. I'll just pop that in there.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, I don't know, I'm sure that was with it. It looks like it's with it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Why? What's on it?- A little child's thing like that.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48- Just a little child's...- Oh!
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I do like the rattle. How much is that one?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- DEALER:- It's seven that one.- Could we get both in for a good price?
0:07:56 > 0:08:02- DEALER:- Could do both in for 28. - She's nodding her head.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04She wanted it at 28 for just the pushchair.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- DEALER:- I should have stuck with that.- I know.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Going for this little child's rattle with it as well,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- and, £28, you're happy? - Yes, I'm absolutely...
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- DEALER:- 28?- Go for it.- It's lovely. - Wonderful.- DEALER:- OK, fantastic.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Shake her hand.- Thank you. DEALER:- Thank you very much.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20That's not bad going, is it? We've got one object already...
0:08:20 > 0:08:21We've only been in here two minutes.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Well, nearer seven minutes gone in fact, Bex,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27but, still, a super quick time for your first purchase.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32If only those Reds could get away from things with strings.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- There's this Fender Strat here.- OK.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35I mean, obviously, it's a big name.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- With my limited knowledge, that is a big name.- It is, yeah.
0:08:38 > 0:08:39From all of the pop stars.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43All of the great players, Clapton, Harrison, everyone plays a Strat.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- Yeah.- It's that that caught my eye. - OK.- £70.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Because this is a bit of a vintage one, isn't it?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- It looks really old.- What sort of date would you put on that?
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Late '60s, early '70s.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Which is right in the heart of that rock'n'roll era, isn't it?
0:08:54 > 0:08:57I mean, for a brand-new one you're going to pay 4-500 quid.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- As much as that?- Yeah, but I'm not sure if it could be a copy.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06It looks quite new. Let's see what it plays like.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07Go on, I'll hold that.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10That's my contribution to this, holding that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18Quite nice.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Do you find that people randomly throw coins at you during the day
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- when you're doing that? - I wish they would.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Well, it's got the look, it's got the name.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Now, if you think the price is a really keen price,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I'm quite happy for you guys to spend some money on this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- I might ask the guy if there's anything wrong with it.- Good idea.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Because it seems a bit too good for the price.- Too good to be true.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Yeah.- Well, have a chat to him, he's just here.- Shall we ask him?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Hi. You all right, my dude? What's wrong with this?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- DEALER:- What's wrong with it? - It seems really cheap for 70 quid.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- DEALER:- It's made by Satellite. - Oh, so it's not a real one?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- DEALER:- No, it's '70s.- Oh! OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- DEALER:- What it'll be, it'll be something like 1,500-1,600 quid,
0:09:54 > 0:09:55maybe a couple of grand if it was a...
0:09:55 > 0:09:58That's why I was like, "70 quid? Hang on a minute.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59"That's not right."
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- DEALER:- It wouldn't be there for that. It's still a desirable guitar.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I don't think it would make much at auction though,
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- being not a real one.- What a shame.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Still, that seems to have pushed them away from the guitar stand.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11So, from rock to tea.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Oh, a really good tea service. - Can you have a look?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Everill & Sons, Stoke-on-Trent.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- DEALER:- It's not complete. It's 40 for the set.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25I've got loads of stuff like this. I do like stuff like this,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27but the stuff I've got I don't go for for value.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29I just love the look of them. I like stuff like this.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Well, it's a pretty pattern. - Yeah, it's lovely.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36It's a very Victorian shape. It's a, sort of, compressed baluster.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38The style of it would be, sort of, would be Victorian.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Sort of, about 1840s or '50s or something.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44With miniature tea services, people will pay,
0:10:44 > 0:10:46certainly if it were complete, you know,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50you'll make more than a full-size tea service, because this has a
0:10:50 > 0:10:54more collecting angle than the sort of tea service which is functional.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56First purchase, pram.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Next one, children's tea service.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59I don't know, where are we going with this?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- I'm going to go for them.- If you really like it.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05I mean, you've got a whole lot of ceramics on the table here,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- and you homed in straight on that. - Yes.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- It's because it's tiny. I think it's cute.- Go for ten quid.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- And then go higher?- Yeah, just go right for the jugular.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16- Yeah, I'm going for it. - Yes.- DEALER:- Hello.
0:11:16 > 0:11:21- As you know, I love this. Would you take £10?- DEALER:- What's on it?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23It's got 40. I know, I'm being cheeky, I've gone for it.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- DEALER:- Oh, that's a big discount. Go on, then.- You would? Thank you.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28Before she changes her mind!
0:11:28 > 0:11:30I'm going to have to go for it, aren't I?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- Thanks a lot.- DEALER:- OK then. - Lovely. Well, there you are.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- That was amazing.- I'm quite proud of myself.- What did you say?
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- How did you...?- It was the look. I gave her the look. The womanly look.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44The womanly look, eh? Well, every day is a school day.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48I wonder if you can learn this womanly look business.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Could come in handy, eh, chaps?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So, that's two purchases in about 20 minutes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I mean, that's ridiculous, actually.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58That means we've got lots to spend and we've got lots of time.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I mean, this is just like a bit of Sunday morning shopping now,
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- really, isn't it?- Browsing, now. - It's a breeze, isn't it?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yeah, sounds like a walk in the park.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The pram and tea set may come in handy then. So, Reds, two behind.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Now could be a good time to make a purchase
0:12:12 > 0:12:15because that's 20 minutes gone.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17How about some silver? Silver always seems to sell well.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20Silver does very well, and, actually, silver,
0:12:20 > 0:12:24when it's mounted onto a nice piece of glass does even better still.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Right.- That's a really nice-looking thing, isn't it?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- It's a cracking-looking thing.- It's a nice colour of blue.- You like that?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36Isn't it just? So, you've got your silver there, mounted onto glass.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39You've got a really nice pattern on the top here, as well.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Is that a crest of anything?
0:12:41 > 0:12:43No, it's just a decorative motif,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47but it's actually silver inlaid into a tortoiseshell top there,
0:12:47 > 0:12:52and the whole thing is a good hundred years old or more.
0:12:52 > 0:12:58- It's Edwardian.- OK. - How much is it though?- It is £155.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04Well, I could see it making 100 and something pounds at auction.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Right. OK.- So if you get it down near that 100 mark
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I think there's a margin in there.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, shall we ask him? See what he can do.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- Let's see what we can get on the price.- Hello, there. Hi.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16We love this little scent bottle.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20Just wondering what sort of margin you could move down to.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25- DEALER:- I could do it for 115. 115. - 115. What about 105?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27That's a nice round number, isn't it?
0:13:27 > 0:13:32- DEALER:- I like it even better if we can meet halfway at 110.- 110?
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- DEALER:- Yes.- Well, guys, what do you think?- Tempting. What do you think?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Tempting. It's even more tempting at 105. Any possibility?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- DEALER:- I've tried very hard to help you at 110.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Is that your absolute death?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- DEALER:- It is.- Well, it's decision time then.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51- It's 110 or walk away, I think. - Yeah.- Yeah, let's do it.- You want it?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- Let's go for it. DEALER:- Wonderful. Thank you very much.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Thank you. DEALER:- Well bought. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Yep, well done, fellas, and a proper antique to boot.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04That's one of the three bought, a third of the time gone,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- we're on track.- We're on schedule. - On schedule.- Absolutely on track.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Are you happy?- We're happy. - You're happy, I'm happy.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Come on, let's go and rock'n'roll some more, guys.- OK.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Time to play catch-up, eh?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Now, the Blues seem to be filling up a nursery.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20This is rather sweet.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- I think it would scare children these days, wouldn't it?- Yeah.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- He looks like a growler.- Shall we try him?- Oh. Well, I'm disappointed.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30No. No, but he is straw filled. I would say he's worth...
0:14:31 > 0:14:36He's worth 60, 80, 70 to £100, but I've got children and,
0:14:36 > 0:14:40you know, I can't pick them up like this any more, you know.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- That's how we hold our wine, isn't it?- I'm putting it down.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Let's go. Let's move.- You really like it.- I do rather like it.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46I do. I can't help it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Oh, JP, you old softie.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53Now, let me show you something else to keep you warm at night.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04Chilblains were an area of irritation on your extremities,
0:15:04 > 0:15:07ie your fingers or your toe-toes,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10that was caused by extremes of heat and cold.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Now we have central heating and the temperature, pretty well,
0:15:13 > 0:15:19is the same throughout our homes, we don't get chilblains any more,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21but they were a big problem,
0:15:21 > 0:15:26and with a big problem like that, the solution was to keep warm,
0:15:26 > 0:15:30and these things, hot-water bottles, were very popular.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34You'd take your hot-water bottle with you and fill it up on a train,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38because trains were cold, and this one is made of stoneware.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Not rubber bottles or plastic bottles,
0:15:40 > 0:15:46but stoneware bottles, and the thing I really like about this is...
0:15:47 > 0:15:48..that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:55Look at that. The trade name on this hot-water bottle is The Bungalow.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59It's got a registered number, look.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04So you could find out when that design was registered by Denby.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08Probably around about 1910, I would guess,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and it says Denby Stoneware on the bottom.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Stoneware, because this thing needs to take hot water,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17seriously hot water, before you screw the top on,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20so it can't be a ceramic that can't take hot water,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23and, of course, it is a most appropriate thing to find
0:16:23 > 0:16:28here in Derby, because the Denby factory was founded in 1850
0:16:28 > 0:16:32about 20 minutes up the road from Derby.
0:16:32 > 0:16:39Now, if you think that one is fun, then try this one on for size.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44This is a hot-water bottle, made by Denby again, made of stoneware,
0:16:44 > 0:16:48but this time there is a novelty in the form of a handbag.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So, for the woman who is travelling on the train,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55or even in a motorcar, but wants to keep toasty warm,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58she'd have one of these jokers about her presence.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It's got a screw-off top,
0:17:01 > 0:17:04and in about 1930, a woman would have gone
0:17:04 > 0:17:09and bought a Denby hot-water bottle in the form of a handbag
0:17:09 > 0:17:13and, literally, taken that handbag to keep her hands warm,
0:17:13 > 0:17:17to keep the chilblains at bay on her travels.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Extraordinary, isn't it?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23All, now, incredibly out of fashion,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26but interesting as little social statements.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Are they worth anything?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Well, as they say, some are worth more than others,
0:17:30 > 0:17:35and at the top of the desirability tree sits this one,
0:17:35 > 0:17:40which could be yours in the fair today, apparently, for £95.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41That'll warm you up.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Or The Bungalow, that joker, could be yours for £20.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50That's enough to warm the cockles of your heart.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Back to the shopping, and our Blues are two-one up.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Now, as we approach the 30-minute mark,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04the Reds are looking into something that has caught their eye.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- DEALER:- OK, this is a fairly serious bit of kit.
0:18:07 > 0:18:14- This is a Boer War gunsight, and it'll set you back £340.- Oh, blimey.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16It's a fantastic-looking thing,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20but it's a bit out of our price range, unfortunately.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Talk about setting your sights high, chaps.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, ladies, what's going on here?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28We've just found some more of these bears.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I thought you'd been turned off by bears.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- But these ones seem a bit cuter. - These are more modern.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34Do you think there is much money in them?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Modern bears are harder for auctioneers to sell.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39The great thing about these smaller fairs is that
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I get to do things like this.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Are you girls going soft on me or something?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Are you calling me a girl?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49The next move is for soft toys?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51- We were looking but Becky's not game.- I'm not keen.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55- We'll go for something else.- Quite frankly, Becky, I don't blame you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Anyway, you've bought two items. - Yes.- JP is raring to go.- Oh, yes.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- And very good luck. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Now, back to business,
0:19:02 > 0:19:07and the Reds may be about to get their hands on something exciting.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Hi, guys.- Hi.- What's happening? I lost you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- We've spotted something awesome. - What have you found?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14- Come and have a look. - Right, lead the way.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I like this word awesome, this is good.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I'm thinking profits, big profits.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19If you're looking in this corner here,
0:19:19 > 0:19:24- what's your eye immediately drawn to?- I like the Japanese vase.- Lovely.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27I like the Arts and Crafts tray, and I like the papier-mache glove box.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- That's what we had our eye on. - That's the one, is it?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32That's exactly the thing we are looking at,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35because we like the artwork. It's really nice, but it looks old.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36You can tell it's old.
0:19:36 > 0:19:3919th-century, typical Victorian hinges, that you would
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- see on papier mache and, obviously, made in the Chinese style.- Right.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- But made in England. - Oh, right, OK.- Yeah.- Interesting.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Because there was a real vogue for all things Oriental.
0:19:49 > 0:19:55- They were pandering to the markets even then. How much is it?- £52.- 52.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Still not dear.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59If you could chip that down to maybe 30 or 40 quid,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01I think that's a good buy.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03How much do you think it would make at auction?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- A bit more than that. There we go. - Fantastic, chap.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- Start at 30 and see what you can do. - You all right, buddy?
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What's the best price you can do for this?
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- DEALER:- I've got 52 on it. I can be really generous and say 42.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21- Good ploy, fellas. Buying from the same dealer twice.- 32?
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- DEALER:- I'll help you a little bit more with 40.- 40.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- 38, and my hand's right there. DEALER:- You cheeky beggar.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- 39, and my hand is right there. - I like it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36The generous dealer gives the Reds his second deal,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38and their second purchase.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41So, what do Nick and JP have to say about events so far?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44We've bought two things in just half an hour,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48and not just two any old things, I think two things really well bought
0:20:48 > 0:20:50with profit, so I'm really buoyed up for this.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51We've got a half-hour now.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53A nice, gentle stroll round,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56and find a really special lot, buy number three.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I mean, the girls have been shopping really quickly.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00First purchase in a matter of minutes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Two items bought, and they've spent £38.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Sounds like a harmonious bunch of hunters, eh?
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Just their third and final items to gather, with 20 minutes left them.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- What do you think, Becky?- I like that one.- This one?- Yeah, that one.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- You mean like that? - Yeah, of course I do.- Do you?- Yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- What makes you like that? - Because it's pink.- Not my cup of tea.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- No, and I suppose not everybody's cup of tea.- Well...
0:21:25 > 0:21:28All this talk of tea is making me thirsty.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30The Reds, meanwhile, are reverting to type.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Made in Korea, it is. It's brand-new.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34There is no age, but...
0:21:34 > 0:21:40- It's too expensive anyway, put it back again, please.- 275 quid.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42What about these... The bookends?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- I like them. - They're functional, as well.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48They're sort of like sunflower motifs, aren't they? There's a cane.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51You get coloured glasses and you make, like, a long rod,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53and it's mixed in with the glass.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55It's the same process they would make
0:21:55 > 0:21:59stems on old 18th-century glasses, or they'll make paperweights.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You see those little cane things in paperweights.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- I think I rather like them though. - Yeah.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- So, as long as the shapes look the same...- Do that then. There you are.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11I think that's right. You've got a flat end there and a flat end there.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13- Yeah, I think you're right.- Yeah?
0:22:13 > 0:22:18Yeah, so, OK, whatever. They do seem to be a pair, don't they, anyway?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Yeah.- Well, that's all cleared up then.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23The Reds are back with the banjolin.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29Now, in musical terms, I believe this is called a reprise.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- What did he say? 120? - What do you reckon?- I'm on the fence.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37- Completely on the fence. I don't mind. I chose the glove box.- Yeah.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Nick chose the beautiful blue vase. - Yep.- So, really, this one's on you.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It should be down to me, and it'll be the one that makes the biggest loss.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Yeah. So it could be on you.- The only one that makes a loss.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47- It could be on you.- Brilliant.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51It takes a big man to carry a heavy axe, or a banjolin.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54£120. Goodness me, £120.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I'd love to see them at £60-£80, if you can get a price for that.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Excuse me. Hiya.- DEALER:- Hello. - We like these.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I was just wondering what would be your best price on them.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- They're currently 120.- DEALER:- 100, 110.- Can you go to 85?- DEALER:- 90.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- 90. What do you think, Becky? - Yeah.- Go on, then.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- I mean, do you both like them? - Yeah.- Yeah, we both like them.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- We've agreed on them. - You could have one each.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18- You've got more books than me. - Thank you very much.- Lovely.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- Thank you very much. DEALER:- Thank you.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Game over. Brilliant. Thank you very much.- DEALER:- Thank you, sir.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Game over, indeed, and you've finished with a flourish.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31He who dares. Right.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Let's talk cash. DEALER:- Let's talk paper money.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Paper money. What is your absolute best?
0:23:40 > 0:23:45- DEALER:- You can have it for 100.- £95.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48He's going to go, he's going to go. Put your hand out, Bob.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- Go on, there we go.- That's it.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56- £95 and we're away.- He's warming them up.- We're out of your hair.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- DEALER:- I reckon you can do 100, can't you? You can do 100.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- We can't, we can't possibly do 100. - Let's meet somewhere in the middle.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10- DEALER:- What? £97.50?- £97.50. Awesome.- Right, OK.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- You said it, Rob, awesome.- Well done. You can relax now.- We're free.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- I know.- Let's go and have a drink. - Yes.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Russ and Rob need to fess up to Nick.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- We're going to have to break the news.- We are.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24We're going to have to tell Nick.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Guys, I found something over here that I want you to take a look at.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28- Ah! Bit of bad news, I'm afraid. - Bad news.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31- We've just spent the rest of our money.- Have you?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- You spent your money on... You bought it.- We bought it.- OK.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Well, you loved it to start with, so I'm kind of happy that it's
0:24:37 > 0:24:41sort of in tune, if you pardon the pun, with your taste.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- What did you spend on it? - What did we spend on it? £97.50.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- So we're all spent up? Three things done.- We are. All spent up, yeah.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51What can I say? Well shopped, Well rock'n'roll-ed, chaps.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- Thank you very much. - The 60 minutes are up.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:24:57 > 0:25:02The turn-of-the-century glass scent bottle was bought for £110.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07The papier-mache glove box cost a hard-fought £39...
0:25:09 > 0:25:14..and, finally, the banjolin set them back £97 and 50p.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- OK. Russ, Rob, was that good? - Yeah, great fun.- It was excellent.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- It was brilliant.- Great fun. - How much did you spend?
0:25:19 > 0:25:25- £246 and 50 pennies.- £246? I want £53 and 50. Is that right?- Yes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- There you go.- £53 and 50. - All yours.- Thank you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30- My mental math is doing pretty good.- And then the pence.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Thank you very much. Now, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35I'd probably say the little blue vase that we bought.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40- And what did you fancy most?- I like my banjolele-mandolin.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- Easy for you to say.- Yep. I like that.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46You like that the most, but is it going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I think the box is going to bring the biggest profit.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Anyway, here comes the cash then, Nicholas.- Thank you very much.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54It's a tad over £50, so what are you going to do?
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- I'm going to go rock'n'roll crazy with this, Tim.- Are you?- Absolutely.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00There's a hint there, I think. Better get foot tapping.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04In the meanwhile, let's find out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:26:04 > 0:26:09They strolled off with a 1950s toy pram and tin-plate toy for £28.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15Next, a crisp £10 note secured the doll's tea set.
0:26:15 > 0:26:21Lastly, the studio glass bookends were bought for £90.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Well, kids, was that good?- Very good, thank you.- Fun for you, Terry?
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Yes, it was.- So pleased. And how much did you spend in total?- £128.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- £128. So, who's got the 172? - I've got it.- Tel's got that.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Thank you very much. Which is your favourite piece, darling?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- My favourite piece is the pushchair. - The pushchair.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Do you agree with that? - No, mine is the miniature tea set.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41The miniature tea set. Very sound.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Is the push-jobbie going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I think the tea set is going to bring the biggest profit,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- as it was the... - That's good then, isn't it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Have they been as fun as this all day, JP?- They've been great fun.
0:26:53 > 0:26:54Yeah, yeah, really good fun.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- And you've got a wodge there to go off and spend.- Yes.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- Which is really nice.- It is.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- It's always nice to have the chance to spend a lot of money.- Exactly.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, while the experts spend lots,
0:27:05 > 0:27:09let's head over to the auction, where hopefully our teams make lots.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Well, we've trotted to Lichfield to Richard Winterton's saleroom.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Richard, it's a delight to be here.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- And I'm absolutely delighted to have you.- Thank you very much.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Now, Russ and Rob, they've gone for a mixture.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28For a kick-off, we've got what is now described as a scent bottle
0:27:28 > 0:27:31with a silver and tortoiseshell top, but that looks a bit queer to me.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- How do you see it? - Yes, it doesn't look right, does it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37It's not a bad match though, is it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41I mean, once upon a time, a perfume bottle had that tortoiseshell top.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Yes.- And it was part of a dressing table set.- Yes.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Scent bottles got bust.- Yep.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47And, instead of throwing away the silver top,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50they found another broken piece of glass which just happened to be
0:27:50 > 0:27:54a faceted blue, maybe a flower vase, and they stuck the two together.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57How much do you see this concoction making?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00We've put 50 to 80, but I wouldn't be surprised
0:28:00 > 0:28:02if it gets the top end of that
0:28:02 > 0:28:06because, as you look at it here, it's got something about it.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10Just because it's not right doesn't mean that's...
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- That it won't make £80?- Yes.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Well, you need to canter on, because they paid £110.- OK.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18And, next, is the papier-mache glove box.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21That's transfer printed, right?
0:28:21 > 0:28:26That's not handpainted, that's been printed onto the top of the black,
0:28:26 > 0:28:30so not a lot of handwork in that, and it's quite badly rubbed.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- We've put 40 to 50 on it. - They paid £39.- OK. OK, all right.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Now, I wouldn't know about this instrument at all.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42It says in the catalogue a banjolin.
0:28:42 > 0:28:47- So, how do you see this particular jobbie?- We have it at £30-£40.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Optimistically or pessimistically? - It should make £30-£40.- OK.
0:28:51 > 0:28:52Our lot paid £97.50.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55You see, you've got me up there and then pushed me right back down.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58No, no, no. I'm just giving you the truth. Don't shoot the messenger.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I didn't pay £97 for it.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I would not pay more than £25 for that to make a profit,
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I have to say, but there we go. Each to their own, right?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I have a funny feeling it will not strike the right note,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12in which case they are going need their bonus buy,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20Well, R and R, Russ and Rob, rest and relaxation. How you feeling?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Not too bad.- Do you think you're going to need your bonus buy?
0:29:23 > 0:29:28- Possibly. Depends what it is.- OK. £53.50 you gave N Hall, right?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31He went off with it. He is known to like to blow the lot.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33So, what did you buy, then, Nick?
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Well, guys, I went fishing for a bargain.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- Stand by.- And look at that little fellow there, hey?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- That's pretty cool, isn't it? - That's all right, yeah.- Nice action.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- Look at the workmanship on it. - That's pretty cool, that is.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- That's a really sweet little thing. Unusual.- What's it made of?
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- It's a form of white metal. - Oh, right, OK.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52So, there will be a mixture of alloys
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and a little bit of silver, but not a lot,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56but it's the whole engineering of it,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I think, that makes it interesting.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- How much of the money did you spend? - Well, I spent £45 on it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Took a bit of a punt, but,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05hopefully, it'll bring in a big profit.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07How much do you think we'll make on it then? That's the question.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Well, it's an unusual, quirky thing, and collectors like that,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13and, who knows, if they want it, then the sky's the limit.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15And, whenabouts was it made?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I should think probably late 19th, early 20th century.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- Maybe that sort of era. - OK, chaps, you've gripped that.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- Got the message?- Fantastic. - Fair enough.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Right now, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:30:24 > 0:30:26thinks about Nick's fish.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33So, swimming upstream. Look at that. What a lovely articulated tail.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35What sort of tale are you going to tell us now, Richard?
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Well, someone's obviously been on their travels.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- They've come back with it.- It's beautifully made.- It's OK.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- It's beautifully made.- At £30-£40, what we've got on it.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47For someone who likes fishing, or likes that sort of thing,
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- I can see that making that. - OK, Nick loved it. £45, he paid.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55So, that's going to be the benchmark to go for.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Let's hope you don't find yourself like a fish out of water with it.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Moving on to the Blues.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05We've got the pram, which has seen better days.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- I mean, do you see it as, basically, £5-£10 worth of...- Junk.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Well, it is what it is, isn't it? £5-£10 worth, really.
0:31:12 > 0:31:18£28, Becky paid. Not forgetting the tin-plate rattle too.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20We're going to be jolly lucky to get her money back.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- Have you had unsold things before on this?- Never.- Don't do that to me.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25You'll sell it for a pound, won't you?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Somebody will pay you a pound.- 50p.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- No, no, we'll get there. - You will get there.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Now, what about the little doll's tea set? Is it worth £10?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Might do.- OK, that's all it needs to do.- OK.- They paid £10.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- OK. Not surprised. - So, 10, 12, 14, £16,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- everybody will be thinking you're a hero.- OK, fine.
0:31:42 > 0:31:47- OK?- We're OK.- And what about the studio glass bookends?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Tim, sorry, but, again, it does absolutely nothing for me.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53I'm trying to be positive, but I can't be positive about them.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54It's just very dull.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Well, it's difficult, isn't it, to ignite the blue touchpaper?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00They are a pair, you know,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02if you are a paperweight-type collector who likes that
0:32:02 > 0:32:07frozen coloured glass inside a glass, then it might do it for you.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- How much then do you think? - We've put £30 on it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- And are you optimistic at that? - Yeah, I'm OK at £30.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18- £30-£40?- Yeah, happy with that. - OK, well, Jonathan paid £90.- OK.- OK?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Yep.- So, that could be an uphill struggle.- Yep.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- It depends on how we kick on with the doll's pram, doesn't it? - It does.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And it may all go downhill from there, and, if it does,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31they're going to need the bonus buy, so, let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34Well, well, well, Becky, what happened to Terry?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Unfortunately, she can't be here today.- Oh, what a shame.- I know.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- Anyway, you gave JP £172 of leftover lolly.- Yep.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44And he's gone out and blown the lot, maybe.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46So, JP, show us your wares.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- You might recognise this.- I think I've got a feeling, yeah.- Have you?
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Yeah. I thought you'd go for that. Yeah.- I loved it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57So, our man has gone back, our man from Colombia has gone back,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59and he's bought it, because you rate it, do you, JP?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I thought, commercially, it was a good buy.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04You know, he's 100 years old, he's straw-filled,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08he's in reasonably nice condition actually, although he's a bit worn
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- and, you know, some of the, sort of, plush silk.- The extremities?
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Yeah, you know, on some of the areas that get, you know...
0:33:13 > 0:33:15- Played with.- Played with, yeah.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17He's got glass eyes, and he's got moving limbs,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20and I just think he's a really cute little thing.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Red is not a common colour.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25You know, you've seen all the golden ones. I'd take him home.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Becky, are you going to give him a fondle?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Go on, have a fondle. Have a fondle.- A squeeze.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32I do feel quite guilty now, because he is quite cute, actually.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- He's looking at me all...- Exactly, because you rejected him, you know.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38- Yeah.- And actually, that's such a bad, you know...
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Particularly for bears,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41because they're quite sensitive, aren't they?
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Then they like a bit of honey, and love,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- and all that kind of business. - Exactly.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48These bears are very difficult for the non-specialist to value,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50aren't they?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Yeah, I mean, everyone knows Steiff and how they, sort of,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56set the precedent in the late 19th and early 20th century,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59but it is still straw-filled, it is of the same period,
0:33:59 > 0:34:02circa 1900, 1910, something like that.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03I paid £80 for it.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06I think that's fair. I think that's really quite fair.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I think it's worth over £100, personally.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Have you given him a name yet?- Well, Charlie, I think, is a good name.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- OK, yeah.- But, right now, for the audience at home,
0:34:13 > 0:34:19let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about JP's little Charlie.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22Well, well, well, what do you make of that, Richard Winterton?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Good colour, isn't it?- It is a good colour. It's burgundy.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I can't remember ever selling a burgundy one before.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33- I think it might be a rare thing, Rich, don't you?- Exciting.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- It's what we love though, isn't it? - We do.- That is what it's all about.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40You just never know, and with those thousands on the internet
0:34:40 > 0:34:45looking for teddy bears and they see this colour, and condition is good.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- It's not new, is it? It's old. - Hump on the back.- It's got the hump.
0:34:49 > 0:34:55- Haven't we all?- Well, we've gone 40 to 50.- Is that all?- Yes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57We don't want to overcook it, don't want to get too excited,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00don't want to show the hand, do we, early?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03Oh, I don't know, I think it's worth a good play, that.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04Well, JP really rates it.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- He's got thoroughly excited.- Good. - He paid £80.- OK.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- So, we've got hope for that, haven't we?- Good.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Well, we're all looking forward to you selling it, because, by jingo,
0:35:13 > 0:35:16don't this team need the profit that that might, potentially,
0:35:16 > 0:35:20make, because, otherwise, things are looking really dire.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21- Still, we trust you, Richard.- Good.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25All our hopes are pinned to your chest.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Go forth, boldly.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32At £20, £20, £20, £20, in the room at £20, at the back.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37The blue flash scent bottle.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38The theory is that that bottle
0:35:38 > 0:35:41and that top didn't start out life together.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45He still put £50-£80 on it. OK. And here it comes.
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Commission bid on the book.
0:35:46 > 0:35:53I can start at 30, I'm 40, I'm 50, I'm 60, I'm 70, I'm 80, I'm 90!
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Keep going.- £90, with me. £100, the internet.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59100 on the internet, 110 in the room, 110 in the room,
0:35:59 > 0:36:06- on the room at 110! Sold! At 110. - I don't believe it. £110.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- 110, wiped its face. Well, no loss.- No.- No.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- So, you were right, and he was wrong.- I don't know, pretty good?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16- We say good.- Now, here comes the glove box.- £10! £10, I'm bid. £10.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22£15, £20, 25, £30, room!
0:36:22 > 0:36:2730 in the room, 30 in the room, £30, £30, 35, the internet!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31- 35, the internet. 35, internet, £40, the room!- Well done.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35£40 the room, £40 the room, 45, the internet. £50, the room!
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- 50 bid, £50. £60, the internet. - Oh, it's still going.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4460 on the internet, 60, 60, 60, hot £60! All done? Sold at 60!
0:36:44 > 0:36:49- That's £21, and I was so rude about that.- Really?- Yeah, I was.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Now, here comes your banjolin. - Oh!- The banjolin.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55- Five bids on the book.- Yes!
0:36:55 > 0:36:58We are in at 50. I am in at 60. I've got 70.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I've got 80. I've got 90. At £90.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- £100, in the room.- Yes!- £100 in the room. £100 in the room. 110, seated.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11120, at the back. 130, seated. 140, at the back.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15150, seated. 160, at the back. 160 at the back, at 160.
0:37:15 > 0:37:22- Yeah, look at his face.- Back at 160. All done. Sold at 160! Thank you.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Well done. I say, Russ, that is marvellous. 160.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28So, what do you want to do with the fish?
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Do you want to go with the fish?
0:37:29 > 0:37:31To fish or not to fish? That is the question.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34You've got £83.50 in the bank.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Do you want to risk it for £45?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Well, you can't fall off the floor, so let's go for it.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- You can bank the profit, if you want.- No, we'll give it a try.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Definitely. We're going with the fish.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Now that you've decided,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimate is £30-£40.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50He's not quite as keen on it, but, anyway, you've decided.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Let's put our hook in the water and see what happens.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Bit of interest in it. £10, I'm bid.
0:37:55 > 0:38:0015, and 20, and five, and 30, and five. 35, I'm bid. 35.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03£40, at the very back. £40, in the door. 40, in the door.
0:38:03 > 0:38:0640 in the door. 40 in the door, I have you, sir, at £40.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11£40, everyone else out? We're finished then. £40!
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- Yours, sir.- £40, he's done it at £40.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17£78.50 profit, that should be a winning score.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20You should be safe with that. Just don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- We won't say anything. - Smashing stuff. Thank you very much.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34So Becky is not facing the auction alone,
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- she's got JP and me for support. First up is the pram.- Yep.
0:38:39 > 0:38:44- Which the auctioneer hated.- Oh, no. - He said £5-£10 on a good day.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- You paid £28.- Yeah.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49So, if he's wrong, and he might easily be, you'll be fine,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52but on the other hand, he was very adamant that the thing
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- might only make a pound or two. - Yeah.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Had we ever had "no bids on something"?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59And I said, "Very rarely." Anyway, let's hope he's wrong.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01And here it comes!
0:39:01 > 0:39:02Where are we going to start?
0:39:02 > 0:39:10- 10, five, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 15, 20, 25.- Hey!- 30!
0:39:12 > 0:39:16£30, right, away at £30, £30, away at 30.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20All done? I'm sold at £30.
0:39:20 > 0:39:25- Yours at 30.- Who would've thought that? You got a profit on it, kid.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29Plus £2, that's marvellous. OK, now, doll's tea set.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34Five pounds, six pounds, seven, eight, nine, ten, £10 I'm bid,
0:39:34 > 0:39:39- £10, 15.- You're in profit! Look at that!- On the internet now!
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- £20, £20, 25, 25, 25, I am bid, 25, with me.- Hey!
0:39:44 > 0:39:49- 25 with me, internet, 30, internet. - Oh, Bex! This is folding money.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53We are selling, internet. £30! Internet bid is £30!
0:39:53 > 0:39:58- That is plus £20. You're 22 up. - Oh, this is the one though.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00And it's £5, I am bid, nothing on my book,
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- at £5 for the glass.- Five?
0:40:02 > 0:40:07£6, £8, front row, £10, internet, 15, on the front,
0:40:07 > 0:40:1015, on the front, 15, on the front, 20, in the middle, 25, on the front.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- Come on!- Oh, dear!
0:40:12 > 0:40:18- 35. Here at 35.- I'm feeling ill. - 35, 35, 35, front row, at 35.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21All finished. Sold at 35.
0:40:21 > 0:40:27- Yours!- Minus 55.- Oh, dear. - That is 33, minus 33.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- Oh, dear.- Oh, Bex. It was all going so beautifully.- I know.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Not to worry.- Oh, you're so brave here on your own.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37- So, what are we going to do about Ted? Going to have a go at Ted?- Yes!
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- Yes.- Charlie?- Yes, definitely.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Going to go with the bonus buy. I don't blame you having a punt at it.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44The auctioneer doesn't think so much of it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47He's put £40-£50 on, which is not terribly encouraging.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Anyway, £80 paid. The die is cast.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53So, are we going to look like a right bunch of Charlies?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Hopefully not.- Great colour. Where you going to be?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Nothing on my book, though, so I'm in your hands. £20, bid. £30.
0:40:59 > 0:41:06£40, £50. £50, right down here at £50. £50, £50, £50 in the room.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10Everything else here. £60, internet. I'll take a five.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14- Yes, 65.- Thank you.- Internet, you've got to come again!
0:41:14 > 0:41:1965 is in the room. At 65. Internet is not coming. It's yours, madam.
0:41:19 > 0:41:27- Sold at 65!- £65. I feel like a Charlie. OK, fine. That's perfect.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33Minus £15. You were minus 33, 43, 48. Minus £48.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35So, don't despair.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Minus £48 might be a winning score. All will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Thank you very much for being so brave.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Had fun?- Absolutely brilliant.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- It has been just the greatest, hasn't it?- Oh, yes.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53It's been particularly great for one team,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56and not so great for the other, and the team it's not been so great for
0:41:56 > 0:41:58- is lonely over here.- Oh!
0:41:58 > 0:42:04Who, I'm afraid, was £48 down, which is quite a minus, isn't it?
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- Yeah, I suppose.- It started out nicely. Got a couple of profits.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11I mean, who thought the doll's pram was going to make a profit?
0:42:11 > 0:42:16That was so good, and that miserable little tea set made £20. Fantastic!
0:42:16 > 0:42:18But the studio glass, no, thank you very much, and then,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21you went with the bonus buy, and that teddy...
0:42:21 > 0:42:23That was no picnic, that, was it?
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Not really.- No, absolutely right. Anyway, minus £48,
0:42:27 > 0:42:28but have you had fun?
0:42:28 > 0:42:32- I have, yes.- What's done is done. - Yes.- Walk away! Walk tall!
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Because the Reds are going to walk away with £78.50. Look at that.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39So, congratulations.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42You went with the bonus buy, that didn't do you quite so much good,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44- but so what? You had a good time. - We certainly did.- We did.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48- It was amazing.- It was amazing. You are right there, amazing!
0:42:48 > 0:42:52- Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?- ALL: Yes!
