0:00:03 > 0:00:07The history of Wetherby goes all the way back to the 13th century,
0:00:07 > 0:00:12when King Henry III gave this land to the Knights Templar.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14You can see their emblem on their coat of arms.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19At the same time,
0:00:19 > 0:00:24King Henry also granted the right to have a market here.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28So, by my reckoning, for nigh-on 800 years, people have been
0:00:28 > 0:00:30shopping here for bargains.
0:00:30 > 0:00:35So, by order of the king, let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Today's battle royal happens here at the Wetherby Racecourse.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11So let's check the form and take a bird's eye at the runners, what!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Coming up, we find out who rules the roost with the Reds.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I'm going to be impulsive, we're going to get this.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21We're going for this at 35.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24You and I have very much cameo roles. OK?
0:01:24 > 0:01:28And this action over at the auction when the Blues hit fever pitch.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Go on!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Eh! Oh!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Let's meet the teams.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38On the Red team today, we have daughter and father
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Kerry and Mick for the Reds.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45And for the Blues we have friends Claire and Denise. Hello, everyone.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Hello!
0:01:47 > 0:01:52Now, Kerry, you have an extremely time-consuming and responsible job
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and you're a busy mother,
0:01:54 > 0:02:00- and you like getting into creative arts and crafts projects.- Yes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- I like taking things apart and making them into new things.- Do you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Yes.- Like what?- Like clock parts.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08The inside of clocks are so beautiful and nobody ever gets
0:02:08 > 0:02:11to see them, so I take them apart and put them into pictures.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14It's kind of recycling and improving. How very interesting.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- Was she always like this as a child, Mick?- Yes.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22- Always investigating objects?- There is many a time I've lost my watch.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Absolutely! And you find it recycled into a picture.- Yes, on a wall.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Which must be really handy, actually.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Now, Mick, you've been a policeman for 30 years.- That's right.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Tell us about your career.- I've done virtually everything in the police.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42I were a beat officer, I were a community officer, CID.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45And I finished my career in the police force
0:02:45 > 0:02:47in the intelligence department.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Very good. What are your tactics going to be, dream team?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- I'm going to be quick and decisive. - Are you?- Yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- And what about you, Mick? - I'm going to do as I'm told.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- I suggest she makes her mind up. - It works.- Does it?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01This is going to be some chemistry for us.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03We're looking forward to it.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Anyway, good luck. Now, Blues. - Hello.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- How did you two girls meet? - It was on an internet dating site.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- What it?- It was.- Oh, Lordy! - I know.- How very modern.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17How very modern. Well, I haven't been on the market for years
0:03:17 > 0:03:20so I'm rather behind the speed on this.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Anyway, Denise, it says here you are an incredibly keen sportswoman
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and at the peak of fitness. Is that right?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I wouldn't go to the peak of fitness
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- but I do try to maintain a fitness level.- What's your sport?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36I do like swimming and I do like badminton.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I go ten pin bowling and things like that.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- But I used to play women's football for a long time.- Were you a forward?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I started off, and as I got older I went backwards
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and went to midfield and then defence,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49then finally, bring out the oranges.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- OK, now, Claire, it says here you've got a career in rock.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57So, are you a singer, a musician? What are you?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Much more glamorous than that. I'm an engineering geologist.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- Oh, ha-ha.- Ha-ha!- Right, it says rock. You're a geologist.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- How lovely is that?- Well, yes. - How did you get into that, then?
0:04:10 > 0:04:14I have a degree in geology and I like playing with soil and rock,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- and getting my hands dirty. - Have you got your own hammer?- Yes.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oh, I'd love one of those hammers.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So, you find a nice lump of rock, you approach it with a hammer
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- and you give it a tap.- Yes.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27And then hopefully it falls apart and inside
0:04:27 > 0:04:30you get dinosaur's poo or something like that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33And every bit of fossilised dinosaur's poo I've ever seen
0:04:33 > 0:04:35makes about five grand.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yet, if we could find some dinosaur poo today, that would be good.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Wouldn't it just? What is your kind of plan today? Have you got a plan?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Yes, we're going to spend it all. - Spend as much as we can.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46I like the sound of that. Anyway, time for the cash.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49£300 apiece. There's your £300.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And very, very good luck.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Dinosaur poo, eh? My favourite.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04And of course, our two terrific teams need two prestigious professionals.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Philip Serrell is hoping to play a blinder for the Reds.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13And boxing clever for the blues is Anita Manning.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- Is there a plan?- Oh... The plan is to get something that we like.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I was really smart, I asked the lady first.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26If you'd asked me I'd have said ask Kerry because...
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- What a tactician! How can we fail? Come on.- She's in charge.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Well, I'd like a nice piece of glassware, I think.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Something big and showy.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I like globes, so anything woody and globey, kind of thing.
0:05:38 > 0:05:43I quite like Art Deco, Victorian, kitchen things.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I want something practical. You know, something useful.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Never mind, Kerry - you'll have to make do with Philip.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53You're under starter's orders and your time...starts...now!
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Straight away, the Blues have taken a shine to some silverware.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Oh, that's quite different, that little pincushion there.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- The wee elephant one?- Yeah...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Oh, there's 100 on that. We'll leave that.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Oh! ANITA LAUGHS
0:06:08 > 0:06:11I thought you wanted to spend, spend, spend!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13From tiny elephants to big money -
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Philip has found an oversized medallion
0:06:15 > 0:06:18with special historic value.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Excuse me.- Yeah?- How much is your death penny?
0:06:22 > 0:06:23I've got 85 on it.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- Right.- Ah, yes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28These are... These are called death pennies, right?
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And...they're interesting things.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- If you look there, it's got "ECP". - Yeah?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35And there was a competition to design these
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- and I think that's Edward Carter Preston, who was the designer.- Right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40And these were made at Woolwich.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44And what's really interesting about these, it says here... You've got...
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Down here, you've got the German eagle
0:06:46 > 0:06:48and he's being overcome by the lion.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50That's the name of the guy who died.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- Right.- They produced thousands of these and it says,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57"He died for freedom and honour."
0:06:57 > 0:06:59These used to be worth 30 or 40 quid.
0:06:59 > 0:07:04But it's 1914, it's 2014. You know, I think these are...
0:07:04 > 0:07:07For me, these are massively poignant things.
0:07:07 > 0:07:08- Yeah, I agree. - I think they're lovely.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12The trick, right, is to find out what John Easom did.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- A bit of research?- Yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Excuse me, my love.- Yeah, no bother.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Have you done any research on this man?- I have.- You have?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22There's a little bit there but I've got a proper printout...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25This is getting more and more interesting.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I'm going to have to put my glasses on to read this.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- There you are.- "John Epsom." He were born in 1888. 27.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37He were a private in 1915.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Oh, he was born in Yorkshire. That's good.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Yeah.- Date of death, 1st of May, 1915.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45And he were killed in action.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48I think that's a lovely thing. I think that's really, really poignant.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- I do as well.- I think, at auction, it's £50 to £80 worth.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53So you need to talk to this lady and see what she can do.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- 50 to 80 is what I think. - I've got 85, I'll do £70.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- You can do 70? - I'll have to ask my...
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Will you consult with your partner?
0:08:03 > 0:08:04That is £20 more than I told you
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I thought the least it can make at auction.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Yeah, we'll do 70 on it.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- KERRY:- I think it's worth the risk.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11This year, something that we really wanted.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- You'd better get the money out. - Yeah? Fantastic.- Go on, then.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- I'll leave you to pay!- Thank you.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Well, that was decisive.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Just five minutes in and the Reds have their first item.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Look at that fabulous sporran.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Ha! - That's for wearing in the winter.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33THEY LAUGH
0:08:33 > 0:08:34Steady!
0:08:36 > 0:08:40I really like this. It's got social, it's got some militaria.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44What sells well in a photograph is a pretty young girl. Not...
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Not grumpy old men and severe-looking ladies.
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Love the colouring. - It's got that sort of, er...
0:08:54 > 0:08:55nicotined look!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57THEY ALL LAUGH
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I don't smoke!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Perhaps been in a smokers' room.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02You know, in a gentlemen's club.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06It got www.georgefcram.com,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- so it can't be...an old one!- No.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10THEY LAUGH
0:09:10 > 0:09:11No.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Move on, Anita - antiques are what we want.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- I like that cos it's practical. - How much is it?- Could use that now.
0:09:20 > 0:09:2268.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25If I was buying that in auction,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I'd only want to pay about £30, £35 at auction for it.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- I reckon you could fit a laptop in there.- Yeah.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35So, you know... And you've got that vintage, trendy look, isn't it?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37I think that going to make, um...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40on a bad day, 25, 35 quid.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44On a good day, it might make 50 to 80.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45I'm obviously a cheapskate!
0:09:45 > 0:09:46So £68...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49I mean, I would think if you could smile at him sweetly
0:09:49 > 0:09:51and get it for 50 quid, that would be brilliant
0:09:51 > 0:09:54but he would be doing you a real favour if he did that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56£60 is the very best on that.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- Could I have 55?- No.- No?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- No movement on that?- 60. No, £60.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04The quality of that is absolutely tremendous.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- It's a French postal bag.- Right.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10There's been thousands of French letters in it over its time.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13What you could do, if you wanted to,
0:10:13 > 0:10:15if this man was going to be really kind you,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17and you could ask him to put it by for you for about an hour.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19(I think you should.)
0:10:19 > 0:10:21No, I think we'll get it. I'll be impulsive.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- We'll get it. - You're going to be decisive?- Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Hellfire!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Decisive lady. I don't know. - Thank you very much.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32These Reds don't hang about. That's the second item in the bag.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35The Blues haven't bought anything yet.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- That mother-of-pearl card case is nice.- That's pretty, uh-huh.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Can we have a quick look at that, please?
0:10:46 > 0:10:50That's nice. It's a little card case and it's...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52in good condition.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55We've got mother-of-pearl and abalone.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Very often, the mother-of-pearl is missing.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01You know, we've got some breaks or damages or losses in it.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- But this one seems to be OK. - I like that.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Yeah, we like the idea of natural materials. You're a geologist.- Yeah.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12And these are things that would be naturally found. Is that sort of...
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Yeah.- It's the type of thing that might push your buttons?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Yeah, definitely. I like that, what do you think?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Well, will that make a difference, cos it's got someone's name on it?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Well, to me, it's not making any difference.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30It's adding another dimension to it because I want to think,
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- "Who was Mrs Kirkwood?"- Yeah.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33- "Who did she visit?"- Yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38This would have been 1910, 1920, even up to 1930s.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- So she would have been quite a stylish, posh lady.- Right.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44It's up for 85.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46How much do you think that would make at auction?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- I would, at auction, probably put it in at 50 to 80.- Right.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52But sometimes I can be a wee bit conservative.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56But it depends on the dealer here.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Need to work your magic.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Right. How does 40 sound?
0:12:02 > 0:12:03SHE COUGHS
0:12:03 > 0:12:05Was that your response?
0:12:05 > 0:12:06No, honestly, that's hayfever! Sorry!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09THEY LAUGH
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- You're a fellow Scot, so...- I know.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14How much is your worst on that?
0:12:14 > 0:12:15I'll do it for 60.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Ooh...50?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I knew we were going to meet there.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- I just knew that's where we were going to meet. 50's fine.- Yeah?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- 50's fine, yeah.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Shaky, shaky, team.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32The Blues are off the mark. But the Reds are flying.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37We just want the right person to want some kind of laptop bag.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- You want the right two people. - Two people.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Because if one person's there, he gets it for a tenner.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44And, can I say, that is the fun of auctions.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47Fun? Fun?! It's giving me ulcers!
0:12:47 > 0:12:49Let's go and have a look down here, come on.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51This is just an absolute breeze.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53We've had about 15 minutes, they've bought two items.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54They're really decisive.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57This is happy days for Serrell cos I'm just going to really relax now.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I don't have to do a thing!
0:13:00 > 0:13:04Now it turns out our Denise is a bit of an expert on paperweights.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Ooh-arr.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08I counted up and I have about 62, so...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11This girl must be worth a bob or two.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14And she's about to enter her idea of heaven.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That will help, that will please you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- There's a big pile of paperweights there.- Ooh!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Caithness Glass. Made in Scotland, of course.- Yes.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Where they make the most wonderful, wonderful glass.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26- Not that you're biased! - Not that I'm biased.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I like that one... and that one and that one.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Those three are the standout ones for me.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- If you look on the bottom, it will tell you...- Yeah.- ..what it is.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39It's got the serial number of who designed it
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and the name that it's been given
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and that obviously has got the Scotland mark on it as well.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- And this one is called Fascination. - Yeah!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And that's called Congratulations,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50so maybe we should definitely have that one
0:13:50 > 0:13:52to congratulate us on our...
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- Success?- Profit? - ..success and profit.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56THEY LAUGH
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Congratulations, Fascination and Sirocco.- Yeah.- So...
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- Go for that?- Yeah. - Yes, I think we should.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05OK, how much are they?
0:14:05 > 0:14:0718, so that's 36.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11And 18. 36, so that's 40... 54.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15I think, if we can get them for 30...
0:14:15 > 0:14:18- Between £30 and £40.- Yeah, lovely.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21While Anita haggles over the paperweights,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I'm going to show you something first-class
0:14:24 > 0:14:26from a previous visit to Wetherby.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32What were you doing in April 1969?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35If you happened to be watching the television
0:14:35 > 0:14:40or hanging around the boundary fence at Filton Aerodrome in Bristol,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44you would have seen a magnificent sight -
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Concorde, taking off for the first time.
0:14:52 > 0:14:5620 of those aircraft were built in total
0:14:56 > 0:15:01and the first two, 001 and 002, were prototypes.
0:15:01 > 0:15:08002 was the machine that Cochrane and Trubshaw flew that day
0:15:08 > 0:15:13and they would have had every known device and gadget on that aeroplane
0:15:13 > 0:15:17because nobody really knew how well it was going to fly.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20There would have been manuals and paperwork
0:15:20 > 0:15:24and dials and testing devices in the prototype,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27the like of which you and I would have never seen.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31And also on that aeroplane would have been...
0:15:31 > 0:15:32this book.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36How do I know that? Cos it says here...
0:15:36 > 0:15:44Concorde 002 - that's the prototype codename - Emergency Procedures.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46The ordinary aircrew manuals,
0:15:46 > 0:15:50of which there must have been many, many copies,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52make several hundred pounds.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54But what would a practically unique,
0:15:54 > 0:16:01if not unique emergency procedure manual from the first prototype
0:16:01 > 0:16:03be likely to be worth?
0:16:03 > 0:16:09To a collector, at least, I would say, £1,000 to £1,500.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12What might it cost you, though, at a place like this?
0:16:14 > 0:16:16£100.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I feel I'm about take a flight!
0:16:19 > 0:16:22And jet off back to the fair.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24The Reds have bought two items,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26so the Blues have some catching up to do.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29What's the news on the paperweights, then, Anita?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32You can have three for £38.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- I think that's acceptable.- Yeah. - Yeah? Are you happy with that?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- Yeah, that's brilliant.- That's good and you got the three that you want.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Sirocco, Fascination and...
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Congratulations.- ..Congratulations.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- I feel like Cliff Richard! - THEY LAUGH
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Start singing!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51# Congratulations and cele... #
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- RECORD SCRATCH - Perhaps a little premature?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Both teams are down to their last item.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58The Reds had an early buying bonanza
0:16:58 > 0:17:03but the Blues still have £212 burning a hole in their pockets.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Let's spend some money. - You want to go big?- Yeah.- Yes!
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Shall we go inside and have a wee look?- Yes, I think we need to.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11Back to the Reds,
0:17:11 > 0:17:15who've spotted something childish in their team colours.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16- Do you like those?- I do like those.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- I just think they're a bit of fun, aren't they?- They need some work.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Well, they do, they do, they do. But they're just...
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Aren't they wicked for a child?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26What's the best you could do these for?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28I'd say 15 and that's taking into consideration
0:17:28 > 0:17:30the fact that they are old.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33Even the dealer is sporting your colours!
0:17:33 > 0:17:35These are made out of plywood.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38So I would think they're probably '60s, something like that.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39KERRY SIGHS
0:17:39 > 0:17:42They need a lot of work doing to them, don't they?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Could you hang on to them for half an hour for us?- Absolutely.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48- DEALER:- Best of luck!
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Back indoors and the Blues have found
0:17:50 > 0:17:52a couple of Victorian vinaigrettes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55These small boxes contained vinegary salts
0:17:55 > 0:17:56to mask pungent odours.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Can you smell anything?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02No.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Not a whiff of profit anyway, at over £200 each.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- TIM WHISTLES IN AWE - Anita! Save them, quick!
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Oh, girls, they've got lots of sparkly things.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12Anita, what you think of these?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- We're looking at these vinaigrette cases.- Oh, right. OK.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16She doesn't look convinced.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20A vinaigrette isn't an unusual item.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23It's not exactly jewellery, which we were looking for, is it?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26GRANGE HILL THEME PLAYS
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I tell you what I am looking at...
0:18:29 > 0:18:32The Reds have found a piece of practical furniture
0:18:32 > 0:18:34from the mid-20th century.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- TIM CHUCKLES - I remember them well!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Most of my best work was written on one of those...
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Not.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I'm looking to see if anybody's put in "I love so-and-so."
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- What you really want to see is "Phil woz 'ere."- Yeah.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- What I'd do with it is I'd put it as a coffee table...- Yeah.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- ..put magazines in here...- Right.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54..and then even the inkwells could have candles in,
0:18:54 > 0:18:56so when you're relaxing at night...
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Drinks on top for when friends are round.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00- It'd make a great coffee table. - Right.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Candles in the ink wells?! - That's what I'd do.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Don't look at me like that - she's your daughter!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Excuse me, sir, how much is your desk?
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Is it the desk on its own?- Yes. - Er...45.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20And that would be the best you are happy with, profit-wise? Any lower?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Round about 30?
0:19:23 > 0:19:26While Kerry haggles with one stallholder,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28the Blues opt for a different approach.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Can you point us in a direction? You know how much we've got,
0:19:31 > 0:19:36the girls want to spend some money, but they need to leave me something.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41They've given the stallholder a budget of £200. Wow!
0:19:41 > 0:19:45That, I think, will make a profit at auction.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48It's Kigu, which is a good make.
0:19:48 > 0:19:53Solid silver, hallmarked on every bit of it. Ladies' compact.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Not exactly wild enthusiasm from the Blues, then.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00What's the report on the school desk?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- I think the best price for me would be 35.- 35?
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- That's another tenner off for you. - I like that at 35.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think we'd better come and do some lines, mate.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14"I must not argue with my daughter."
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- We're going for this at 35. - Is that the best, absolute best?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I've already said that we're going for it, now.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- You and I are very much cameo roles, OK?- Just walk-ons.
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Innocent bystanders.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32So that's the Reds done and dusted.
0:20:32 > 0:20:37Time for the Blues to make up their minds about their final item.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That compact, and quick, please.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Girls, we've got five minutes left. Claire, what about you?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46It's not something that I was anticipating buying,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49but if it's something that is going to make us a profit...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51What would you like? Something more quirky?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Something with a bit more...
0:20:58 > 0:21:04- What's that?- Dutch silver, but its import marks are for London 1890.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07- And it's a lovely weight. - Snuff box.- It's different.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13What do you think, Anita, would that make a profit, do you think?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Is there a good market for novelty snuff boxes?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Oh, yes. And snuff boxes,
0:21:20 > 0:21:26if you've got something which is an unusual shape or has an unusual
0:21:26 > 0:21:30theme, then that encourages the collectors to buy that.
0:21:30 > 0:21:37Import marks for London 1890. I think that that's quite a nice buy, there.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Go work your magic.- I'll try.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44What would be your very best?
0:21:44 > 0:21:48That one? I could do 170 on it.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54170? See, I was thinking more to 150, to be fair.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00- I can't do 150.- 160?- Yeah, go on, then.- I think 160 is fair.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05- I like the weight as well. - Look, they're happier about that!
0:22:05 > 0:22:10I knew those compacts just weren't floating your boats!
0:22:10 > 0:22:15- No, it's not our thing.- Whereas clogs are our thing!- Absolutely!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- They are now. - Thank you very much.- Lovely.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23So the Blues were saved by their stallholder,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25not a moment too soon, because...
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Clock this! Time's up!
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- We're done.- Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Philip found the World War One death penny,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36but they had to pay big money for it.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37A whopping £70.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42The French post and telegraph satchel had Kerry smitten,
0:22:42 > 0:22:46but at £60, could she be bitten at the saleroom?
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And £35 bought this authentic children's school desk,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53but will it pass the test at the auction, or perhaps do better?
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- Kerry, Mick, how was your shopping experience?- Really good.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Thoroughly enjoyed it.- And how much did you spend, Mick?- £165.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04So I'd like £135 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you, Kerry.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09- All present and correct.- Very nice. I won't bother to count it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Now, Mick, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- We purchased a death penny. - The death penny?- Yes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- That's your favourite? - It's my favourite, yes.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Kerry, do you agree with that?
0:23:21 > 0:23:26- Yes, I agree it's his favourite, but mine is the satchel.- Is it?- Yes.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Good. Why do you like the satchel so much?- Because it's useful.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- And it's got character, right? - It has.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And it's got a certain amount of age, like me.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I think we're going to get on very nicely.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39And is that going to bring the biggest profit, your satchel?
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- I fear not. It may be the death penny.- OK, fine.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Well, interesting stuff. It's going to be exciting, that's for certain.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50- Here is my friend. 135. - Gosh, a veritable fortune.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Got any idea what you're going to buy, Phil?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57I've got no idea, but I think they've given me some inspiration.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00And thus inspired... I do foretell of him. Anyway, good luck with that.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought?
0:24:05 > 0:24:08The mother of pearl and abalone card case cost them £50.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13The three Caithness paperweights dazzled Denise
0:24:13 > 0:24:16and Anita got a good deal at £38.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21And at £160, the clog-shaped snuffbox was a high-class
0:24:21 > 0:24:23choice, but it's also a high risk.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Well, girls, that was something else, wasn't it?- It was indeed.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34To have a whole hour tooling around with Anita Manning is a great privilege.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Anyway, how much did you spend? - £248.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Please may I have £52 of leftover lolly?
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Thank you very much. Which is your favourite piece?
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- For me, the mother of pearl card holder.- What do you think?
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- I like the Caithness paperweights. - That's your favourite?- Yes.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Are they going to make the biggest profit?- I believe so, yes.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Do you believe so too? Not really.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- Just got that kind of shrug.- Yes.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Not just because they're Scottish, no?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08No, not because they're Scottish. They were our cheapest item.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- So the prediction of the most profit?- Yes.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13OK, fine, we'll remember that. Over to you, then, darling.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Nice little wodge, look. You've had a great time with the girls.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17What do you going to do now, Anita?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21I'm going to go off and I'm going to buy something that will make
0:25:21 > 0:25:26- the girls even more profit. - OK, Anita, good luck with that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Meanwhile, we're heading off to the auction.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29We're away to the Northeast!
0:25:39 > 0:25:41We've whizzed up the road from Wetherby to the
0:25:41 > 0:25:45cradle of the Industrial Revolution, to Darlington.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50At least, this is where Stephenson first used his Rocket.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And we've rocketed up here to be with Peter Robinson,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58- at Thomas Watson Auctioneers. - Hi, Tim. Good to see you.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Now, Kerry and Mick, the first item they went for was this death penny.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Not the jolliest of objects, is it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Well, it isn't, but along with medals,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12it's all about the history of the war and the people that took part
0:26:12 > 0:26:17and so there is an interest in these memorial plaques that were issued
0:26:17 > 0:26:22to everybody that sadly lost somebody from the war, or during the war.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24And so sad that the families died out, or whatever,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- and they just come on the open market.- Well, this is what happens.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31These are the sort of things that you find in a dressing table
0:26:31 > 0:26:34drawer that has probably been sitting there for years and years
0:26:34 > 0:26:36and people don't want them any more.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Or the family line die out and it then comes on the market.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45Anyway, the market value of such a thing would be likely to be what?
0:26:45 > 0:26:50Well, we've placed an estimate of £30-£50 on this item.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- There's always interest in them, whenever we get them.- OK.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Despite there being over a million of them issued, so they are not rare.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- A million deaths! It is just such a horrifying carnage.- Absolutely.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Anyway, the fact is, they paid £70 for it. You're estimating 30 to 50.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- They may get their money back. - They may.- Yes.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Moving on to the satchel, this is a jollier object, isn't it?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15What I call bulletproof leather.
0:27:15 > 0:27:21It's interesting, it's unusual, it's got these initials on the flap, PTT.
0:27:21 > 0:27:28You can just make it out, can't you? PTT. Postal telegraph telephone.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32- So this is a repair man's bag, isn't it?- Yes. Well, it looks like it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35He'd leg it up a telegraph pole
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- and fiddle about with his little tools in there.- Yes.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41It may have housed a bit of equipment.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42I didn't know what to put on this item.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45We put a very modest estimate of £20-£40 on it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I mean, a vintage leather bag,
0:27:49 > 0:27:53if you were buying it in a vintage shop, would probably cost you £100.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57OK, so £20-£40 is your estimate. They paid £60.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01It seems to me they've been a bit over-rich with their purchases.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05But, over there, we've got the child's wooden desk, which is
0:28:05 > 0:28:07a bit of a sweetheart, isn't it?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Little kiddies' two-lidded desk so, you know, brother and sister,
0:28:11 > 0:28:13two sisters can sit beside it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15It's a small one, it's for infants,
0:28:15 > 0:28:20it's not one you would find in a school for doing exams at.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24But it's in good condition, it's been well looked after
0:28:24 > 0:28:25and it's quite cute.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Something for the proud parents of Darlington to come and invest in.
0:28:29 > 0:28:35- Absolutely. We've put an estimate of 30 to 40.- Perfect. £35 paid.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37So they paid spot-on in the middle price for that.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40The other two may be slightly over the top, in which case, they're
0:28:40 > 0:28:44going to need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Everybody happy?- Yes, very happy. - This is the leftover lolly moment.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53You spent £165, you gave the man £135. It's underneath the rag.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Philip, show us what you bought. - You might remember this.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Yes, I certainly do!
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- You umm-ed and ah-ed, didn't you? - Yes. Over the condition of them.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- I've umm-ed, I've umm-ed. - Have you umm-ed?
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- I've umm-ed, I've bought. - And we're going, "Ah!"
0:29:08 > 0:29:10It cost £15, as you know.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15A 1960s bit of probably Scandinavian retro, but who knows?
0:29:15 > 0:29:16I think that will make a profit.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Clearly - I wouldn't have bought them otherwise!
0:29:19 > 0:29:20SHE LAUGHS
0:29:20 > 0:29:24I think somebody will clean them up, and they'd look good in a nursery.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- You're talking yourself into it. - Well, it's £15 invested.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It is not a major amount, actually, when you come to it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35If he'd said he'd spent £135, you might wince.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Anyway, £15 invested. You don't have to pick now,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41you pick after the sale of the first three items if you want to.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Right now, from the auctioneer,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46let's find out what he thinks about Philip's children's furniture.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Over there, again, then, Peter. Two chairs and a child's table.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Yeah, quite cute.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Two children entertaining each other over a cup of tea.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00So it's quite cute. But not of great value, I don't think.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Most modern children, of course, would have
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- a cappuccino with a couple of mocha shots.- Yes.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- Whilst tweeting. - Whilst tweeting, exactly.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09So what's it worth?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11£20-40, modest estimate.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Well, Philip only paid £15, and it's his bonus buy.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16So probably the team will go with it,
0:30:16 > 0:30:18and you'll probably get them out of trouble.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20- We'll do our best. - I'm sure you will.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22That's it for the Reds.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Now, the Blues.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27First for them, the mother-of-pearl and abalone card case.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Now, you see quite a few of these knocking about.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33They look exotic and expensive.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35But how well do they sell here in Darlington?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Well, I must have sold hundreds over the years.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41You're right, you do see them very often.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43They're usually not in very good condition
0:30:43 > 0:30:46because of the mother-of-pearl panels, they get loose.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51This one is in good condition, even though it's 120, 130 years old,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54a lot of them must have been made, because we see a lot of them.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- Your estimate is? - We put £30-50.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59£50, they paid the top whack.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Talking about lovely glass as gifts,
0:31:01 > 0:31:06what about these three Caithness glass paperweights which, I guess,
0:31:06 > 0:31:10are pretty well brand Harry spankers, aren't they? They are.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12They are still manufactured. So they're not very old.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16OK, they're an upmarket gift, quite expensive to buy.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20But I don't expect we'll have a queue at the door for them.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23"Fascination", "Congratulations" and "Sirocco".
0:31:23 > 0:31:26Do you see that in those bits of glass?
0:31:26 > 0:31:31Where's Sirocco in there? A warm North African wind, in glass.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34So, there we go. These are sold as collectables of the future.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37In 50 years' time, it might be a different story.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40But we've got an estimate of £20-40 on these.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42That's about £7 each.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44The team paid £38 for the three.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46You might get that, mightn't you, Peter?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- HE SIGHS - We might do.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53In which case, I'll present you one that says "Congratulations" on it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55You might just get them out of trouble.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Now, the really interesting piece out of this trio is the old clog.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- The silver clog.- Do you like that? - I do like that, it's really nice.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It's well cast, very defined.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's got very nice French hallmarks on it,
0:32:09 > 0:32:14as well as the hallmarks bringing it into England, the import marks.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16London 1890, it's dated.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19So it's a nice little piece, a good collectable.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- I suppose it was for snuff, was it? - I would say so.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24It's a novelty, an ornamental piece.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- It doesn't look as if it's had hardly any use at all.- No.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31I would imagine, at that stage, you had people collecting little pieces
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- to put in cabinets, as well as for use.- Exactly.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36It's nice and heavy, beautifully made. What's your estimate?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- Modest estimate of £60-80. - How much?- £60-80.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Oh, dear, oh, dear, they paid £160.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Oh, crumbs. - That could be a pinch too much.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Anyway, if it is, we've got the bonus buy to fall back on.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- Well, well, well, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- It is, it is.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58You gave our Anita £52 of leftover lolly.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Anita, what did you spend it on?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05THEY LAUGH
0:33:05 > 0:33:08The girls are a pair of sweethearts, and I love this little thing.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12It's a little silver pin tray you would leave on your dressing table
0:33:12 > 0:33:16for your rings, earrings, and wee bits and pieces.
0:33:16 > 0:33:22It's hallmarked silver, made in Sheffield in 1895.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24So it's a nice little thing.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27But, girls, the best thing about it?
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- The price? - You've got it in one.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33£10. Ooh!
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Tell me if you like it as an object, first of all?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- I like it.- Claire likes it. - I like it.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43It's very light, isn't it?
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- Denise doesn't like it. - For £10, it's very heavy!
0:33:47 > 0:33:50It's nice. For a tenner, you can't really grumble, can you?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52You can't really grumble, no.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Embossed decoration around the edge.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57So, it's got a wee bit of detail.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59How much is it going to bring?
0:33:59 > 0:34:03We should double our money. It's not going to fly.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's not going to soar.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09But I think we should double our money at least.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Solid profits, then, Anita. Anyway, you don't pick now,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13you pick after the sale of your first three items.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16But let's find out, for the audience at home,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18what the auctioneer thinks about Anita's pin tray.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Right, then.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Nice, isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30Nice heart-shaped silver pin tray. Sheffield hallmark.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Pierced, embossed decoration. A good little piece of silver.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36It's very light, and it is tiny, but still a nice little piece of silver.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39If you're at all romantic, which I suspect you are probably, Peter,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43it kind of sweeps you away towards February.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46You could spend the same money that you'd pay for this
0:34:46 > 0:34:48on a bouquet of flowers, and yet you've got a piece of
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- hand-worked silver here. - Your estimate?- £20-40.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- OK. Anita paid just £10. - Wow, that is a bargain.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59That is, isn't it? That's why she's known as phenomenal.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- Are you up for this? - Yes, absolutely.- So are we.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06Well, Peter, I hope you are poised in position.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It's time to take you to your rostrum.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12We've got a crowded-out saleroom here, it's all looking promising.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15But, first up, it's going to be the death penny.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Are the bidders going to be on the internet?
0:35:18 > 0:35:21People who like to buy these bits of First World War memorabilia?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I haven't got the faintest idea. We're going to find out, all right?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- OK.- Are you feeling excited, Kerry? - Stupendously.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- The same with you? - I can't wait.- Well done, Nick.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Here we go, here it comes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35The bronze memorial plaque there.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Lot number 160. Opening the bid at £20. At £20.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41At £20.
0:35:41 > 0:35:4425. I have 30. 35. 40. 5. 50.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45- BOTH:- Come on.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48£45 at the doorway on the right.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51At £45. Selling now at £45. 50 anywhere?
0:35:51 > 0:35:52It's against you on the net.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56£45 in the doorway, and it's being sold at £45.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00£45 is 5 off 60, which means you are minus £25.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- That's not a great start, is it? - My mistake.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04No, it's nobody's mistake.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Here comes the satchel.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Vintage leather satchel. Starting at £20.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12At £20. £25 in the doorway. At £25.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1430 now. At £25.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Not exactly humming, is it?
0:36:17 > 0:36:19£25. No further bidding. Being sold.
0:36:19 > 0:36:2430 I'm bid. 35. At 30 then, on my left, the gentleman's bid at £30.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29Out in the doorway. At £30. On my left, being sold at £30.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33I think I'm going to weep. £30 is minus £30.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Minus 30 that is.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41Two-lidded, little child's desk this time, lot number 162.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45£15 to start. At 15 bid. 20 now.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48At £15. 20 I'm bid. At £20.
0:36:48 > 0:36:5125 for it, 25 I'm bid.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54At 30 on the net. £30. 35.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Come on. - Internet bidder at £30.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59- It's being sold, all finished. - GAVEL BANGS
0:36:59 > 0:37:05£30 is minus 5. So that makes it nice, a round minus £60.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Whoever would have thought that? Honestly. OK.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11Now, you've got the other little child's table and chairs.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Are you going with that? - Oh, yes.- Definitely?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Phil's going to save us.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16HE HOOTS WITH LAUGHTER
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Riding to our salvation, here we go.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Cute little kiddies' chairs and table set. 1960s.
0:37:23 > 0:37:2615 bid. £15.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27At £15. 20, can I say?
0:37:27 > 0:37:31At £15. Selling at £15. Only 20 on the net.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34£20, internet bidder. At £20.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36£25 anywhere in the saleroom?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37You're in profit, Phil.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39That's a miracle.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41At £20. All finished.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Thank you, Phil, perfect.- Thank you very much. Our only profit.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Our only profit. Plus £5
0:37:46 > 0:37:49which means, overall, you are minus £55.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Could be worse.- Could be.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55I'm not sure how much worse, but anyway. Thank you.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- OK, girls, are you looking forward to this?- Yes.- Yes.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10The big problem is that silver snuff box.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Novelty silver is supposed to be everything
0:38:12 > 0:38:15and, frankly, £60-80 is a bit of a miserable estimate.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18- We really have to keep our fingers crossed.- Keep our fingers crossed.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21The first lot coming up is here, and it's now, and here it comes.
0:38:21 > 0:38:26A nice Victorian mother-of-pearl card case. Opening at £20.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30At £20. £25 on my right. £30. 35.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Go on.- £40. 45.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34£50. 45 on my right now.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36We need another one.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Gentleman's bid on my right in the saleroom here. At £45.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42- Come on!- Are we all finished at £45? The gentleman standing beside me
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- at 45. - GAVEL BANGS
0:38:44 > 0:38:48£45 is minus £5. Not as bad as it might have been.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Anyway, kicking on, these have got to make a profit on £38.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54Caithness paperweights, three of them in the lot,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56three different patterns.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58£20 to start?
0:38:58 > 0:38:59£20 I'm bid to start.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01At £20, selling at £20.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- BOTH:- No! - 25.
0:39:03 > 0:39:0530 on the internet. At £30.
0:39:05 > 0:39:06On the internet now, £30.
0:39:06 > 0:39:0935 anywhere in the saleroom? At £30.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13It goes to an internet bidder for the three together at £30.
0:39:13 > 0:39:14Aw!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Sold at £30.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19- It's like pulling teeth, this. £30 is minus £8.- I'd have paid that!
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Which is minus £13.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23- OK, kids.- Now this is super.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28Very nice little silver snuff box in the form of a clog.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30We have bids here, £75 to start.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Hey-hey. - To start.
0:39:33 > 0:39:3680. 5. 90.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38£90, the lady's bid. 95. 100.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Yes!- £95 I'm bid. £95. 100, can I say you're bidding?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46100 then below you. 110.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49120. 130. £120 to my left now.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- Go on!- Wa-hey, oh!
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Selling now at £120.
0:39:53 > 0:39:59130, thank you. 140. 130 in the balcony.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02At £130 now. The bid's in the balcony at £130.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It's being sold at 130.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Aw!
0:40:06 > 0:40:12Oh, dear. Minus £30. Which is minus £43.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15What about this pin tray - are you going with the pin tray?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17- BOTH:- Yes!
0:40:17 > 0:40:20It is a no-brainer really. You trust Anita, you know £10 is cheap.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23- Anyway, you're going with the bonus buy.- Yes.- We are indeed.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Now you've decided, I can tell you what the auctioneer's estimate is,
0:40:26 > 0:40:29which is £20-40. So, he's predicting potentially £30 profit out of this.
0:40:29 > 0:40:34You're minus £43 at the moment. We want to claw back those losses
0:40:34 > 0:40:36and this might be the object to do it.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39OK? Very exciting. Anyway, here it comes.
0:40:39 > 0:40:45Late Victorian silver pin tray. Nice little lot this time. 1895.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46About 120 years old.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48£20 only for it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53£20 bid. At £20. 25 on my left. £30 now.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57At £25. On my left, at £25. Surely 30? 35, sir?
0:40:57 > 0:40:5935 on my left now, against the net?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02£35. Gentleman on my left in the room here, at £35.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Standing on my left. 40, thank you.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Hey, yes. Go on!
0:41:07 > 0:41:10At £40. In the balcony at £40, it goes to the balcony at £40.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Go on, one more!
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- You have it, sir. - Well done, Anita, that's marvellous.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20- Which reduces the losses to only minus £13.- Hey, that's all right.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Well done, girls.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Anyway, the thing is, don't say a word to the Reds, all right?
0:41:24 > 0:41:28No point in depressing them. And all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Well, team, this has been fun, hasn't it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:40- ALL:- Yes.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43The big sadness is that, despite all this effort,
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- nobody's going home with any cash. - THEY EXCLAIM
0:41:45 > 0:41:48But then, you know that, secretly, don't you?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52But this programme isn't all about going home with hard money, is it?
0:41:52 > 0:41:54It's about having fun. Have we had fun today?
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- ALL:- Yes. - Yes, we have, thank you very much.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59It's just a question of the scale of the losses.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01We don't have losers any more.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05But the runners-up today by a fair chalk are the Reds.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07THE BLUES CHEER
0:42:08 > 0:42:12Minus £55, which is not a lot, really.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Absolutely every score was minus until we hit
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Phil's 1960s child's table and chair, where you made a £5 profit.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- That was it, wasn't it? - All good, yeah.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Anyway, who cares? Minus £55 is nothing in the scale of
0:42:24 > 0:42:27- some of our losses, is it, Phil? - Absolutely.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29If you've had a nice time, that's the main thing.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Brilliant. - Lovely to see you both.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32But the victors today are going home
0:42:32 > 0:42:36victors with no cash, but with only £13 of losses.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38THE BLUES CHEER
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Very much helped along the way by our dear Anita,
0:42:41 > 0:42:44who makes a profit of £30 on her bonus buy.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48How to spend £10, sell it for 40 and make a profit of 30.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Absolutely super, Anita.- Yes!
0:42:50 > 0:42:53And you seriously saved their bacon today.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Good. Anyway, had a nice time? - Absolutely.- Fantastic.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00We've enjoyed it too. Join us soon for some more bargain hunting, yes?
0:43:00 > 0:43:01All: Yes!
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Oh, dear me! THEY LAUGH
