0:00:02 > 0:00:05- POSH VOICE:- Welcome to the BBC's Bargain Hunt at Alexandra Palace.
0:00:15 > 0:00:21Behind these great doors, a great antiques fair is in full swing.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24So what are we waiting for? Let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Alexandra Palace opened its doors in 1873.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's survived a couple of world wars,
0:00:56 > 0:01:02a couple of fires and the first ever British TV broadcast.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Hopefully, our teams will be on fire today. Not literally, of course.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09And, in homage to the BBC's history,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13we've got plenty of cameras here to capture the action.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16So, let's take a quick squint as to what's coming up.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The Reds just can't make a decision.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Hands up for caddy spoon.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Oh, I think caddy spoon. - Hands up for vesta?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25That really doesn't help!
0:01:25 > 0:01:28And the Blues might have to go home empty handed.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- No.- You don't like it?- No.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- Don't you? You like it?- I like it.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34We may not actually buy anything at this rate.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38But who will be triumphant when we head to auction?
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Go on...
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Let's meet the teams.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48On Bargain Hunt today, we have a team of friends for the Reds.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Sue and Jackie.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And, for the Blues, a mother and daughter team, Ann and Beth.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Hello, everyone.- Hi.- Hello. - Great to see you.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Now, Sue, tell me, how did you two become friends?
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- AMERICAN ACCENT:- Well, our oldest daughters are 17
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and, when they were 3, they were in the same playgroup together.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08And so we got friendly, our families started doing things together
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and we have since all been on holiday together
0:02:10 > 0:02:12and just really good friends.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Now, you have a bit of an accent, if you don't mind my saying so.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18- I'm from Milwaukee. - Oh, really? That's lovely up there.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- It's cold.- Is it? - It's north of Chicago.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And how long have you lived in our green and pleasant land?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- Actually, I've been here for 26 years.- Have you?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Yeah. And I only came over for two years on a two-year work permit.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- I thought it would be a bit of fun. - Yeah, a bit cool.- Yeah.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Ended up marrying my husband, staying.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37And, 26 years later, I'm still here.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And what do you get up to over here?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, I currently produce a local magazine.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So about nine years ago, a friend of mine and I started a magazine
0:02:45 > 0:02:49for our community in the Bandstead area.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And she's since moved back to America,
0:02:52 > 0:02:53so I've been running it on my own.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58So I create the articles, get the ads in, and it's a free magazine.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Now, Jackie, you had a change of career ten years ago.- I did.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Tell us about that.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Well, my youngest started school
0:03:05 > 0:03:09and I'd formerly worked for a big cable company,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12and didn't want to go back to that, wanted to work with children,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16so I retrained to work with nought to five-year-olds
0:03:16 > 0:03:17in speech and language therapy.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20And what do you get up to in your free time?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22We do a lot of sporty-type things, all the usual.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- But, I have to say, my favourite thing probably is shopping.- Is it?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Yeah.- Are you what they call a shopaholic?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- You are? Slightly? - Don't tell my husband.- No, I won't.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Well, think of the bliss today
0:03:32 > 0:03:34because we're going to give you the cash
0:03:34 > 0:03:36and you're going to go off shopping.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Now, do you know anything about antiques between you?
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- We know a little bit. Jackie's great at jewellery.- I love jewellery.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Oh, do you?- And you like Art Deco, so...- Oh, right.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47I mean, you've got it all sorted out, then.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Have you got a plan?- Oooh, yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- What's your plan?- Spend as much money as we possibly can!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- Really?- Big stuff.- Really?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Sparkly stuff.- Sparkly, big stuff? - Yeah, yeah.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00Gosh, this sounds ambitious to me. We're going to love this.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01Anyway, good luck, girls.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Now, Ann, what did you do before you retired?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, I did a million jobs, actually,
0:04:08 > 0:04:09because I've had a long time to do it.
0:04:09 > 0:04:13But I started off as a press photographer, many, many years ago.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16In the days when you had a glass plate, even,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18and a great big old camera.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Did you have those ones with the flashbulb in that go "bang!"?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Yes, yes.- And, when you caught somebody doing something naughty,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27always in the movies, all that kind of "ping!" was going on.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- All the time.- How exciting is that?
0:04:29 > 0:04:32You also like to go around the charity shops a lot, don't you?
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Yes, yes, yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35I go round the charity shops all the time
0:04:35 > 0:04:40and my house is absolutely full of complete rubbish.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Daughter is nodding her head violently next-door to you.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47She thinks, how awful, when I'm gone, she's got to clear the house.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Oh, I see. Terrible thought process that, isn't it?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54OK, we'll move on quickly before we have
0:04:54 > 0:04:56what they call a "domestic" here.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Now, Beth, you've done a number of jobs, darling.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00I've been a dog groomer
0:05:00 > 0:05:04- and I had my own company for a bit making wedding cakes.- Yes.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- And now I'm a teaching assistant. - Yeah?
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- So I've found my niche now, I think. - And you play a bit of netball?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- I do. I play a lot of netball. - And you play for Fetcham Ladies.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- Fetcham Ladies, yeah. - Fetcham being a place, right?- Yes.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21And, for a former dog handler to live in a place called Fetcham
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and to run a team called Fetcham Ladies
0:05:23 > 0:05:26is just about as round as it can get, really.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29From what I know about netball, which is not a lot,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- but it's extremely competitive. - It is very competitive, yeas.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Does that mean this competitive spirit
0:05:34 > 0:05:35is going to rub off on Bargain Hunt today?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Some people might say that I am a little bit competitive.- Really?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- And you're going to get on all right with you mum through this?- Er, yes.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- We might have a few...- A few words?
0:05:45 > 0:05:47She's also quite competitive as well.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, she knows her way around the car boots
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and you know how to shift around pretty quickly.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53- Yeah, I can move quickly. - So that's pretty cool, isn't it?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I tell you, we've got some wizard teams today.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00Anyway, now, £300 apiece. There's your £300. £300. You know the rules.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Your experts await. And off you go!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06And very, very, very good luck and fetch 'em out!
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Now, let's meet our experts. A true Reds fan is Kate Bliss.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17PHONE RINGS
0:06:17 > 0:06:19And on call for the Blues is David Harper.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- Ah-ha! Now, you two look like a Blue team to me.- Yes, we are.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- Unless I'm colour-blind, you're mine. - Yes, we definitely are.- Hello.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- So, Jackie and Sue. Are you excited?- Very.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37There's loads to look at here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Is there anything that you've got in mind that you're looking out for?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Some jewellery. Jackie's good with jewellery.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Something sparkly. I'm a real magpie.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- How are you feeling? - I'm all right.- Excited.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Are you a bit jittery? - I'm a bit jittery.- You need nerves.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Ann, how are you feeling?- I'm not a bit jittery.- Good! Marvellous.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56- What are we going to look for, Beth? - I think functional but beautiful.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00Art Deco things, we like. Boxes, wooden boxes.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Anything big, practical. But we want to spend all our money.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- Something pretty and maybe silvery. - Oh, lovely, OK.- Or shiny.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Are we going to be the dream team? - We definitely are.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- I love shopping.- I love spenders!
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19BELL RINGS
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Lovely, fab colours is what I thought.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- That is really neat. - But is that new or is that...?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35No. So this is Hermes, the French couture name.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39In the original box. They did these really vibrant orange boxes.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43Silk, I would guess. And there's probably a name on here.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51Yes, if you look, it's H-E-R-M-E-S.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55- Hermes. Can you see through the...? - Oooh, I love that.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58And the colours, I think, are gorgeous.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00But,...I've just seen the price!
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- Yeah. Put it back, put it back. - Oh, that's quite a lot, yeah.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08So, whilst the Reds consider the scarf, what are the Blues up to?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- I quite like that?- Do you?- Yeah.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- I quite like that. - Something that we agree on.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Quite... A little bit quirky.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18Not that people really use toast racks any more, but I like it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- I use the toast rack.- Do you? - I love the style.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yeah, I think it's the style that...- The style is super-cool.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- It's construction is slightly dodgy. - It's a bit wonky. Yeah, yeah.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Yeah, I'd leave that, if I were you.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Now then, Reds, what about that scarf?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36We love this, but it's a very strong price for a...
0:08:36 > 0:08:37How much do you want to pay for it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Well, we've got to put it into auction.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I've checked with an online retailer and they're charging 175.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Obviously, plus the postage.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I was trying to find the age of it and I couldn't.
0:08:46 > 0:08:47I tried to research what I could.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49I didn't know what the words meant.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51The scarf itself, I would say, dates from,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55I don't know, '70s maybe, looking at the box. Maybe even later.
0:08:55 > 0:08:56People have sort of looked at it
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and they say that, if there's one stitch on the hem,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02that's the way to tell that it's the original one.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- So would this be handmade?- They hand roll the edges with silk scarves.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08That's why they're expensive.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11What would you like to pay, ladies, I mean, if you saw this?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- Have you any idea?- I just don't think that we should spend over about 100.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16How about 120?
0:09:17 > 0:09:24- I don't know.- If it was a round 100, I'd probably gamble and go for it.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26I think 120 might be...
0:09:26 > 0:09:29I mean, I'm sure they do go online for 175.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I mean, it's top quality. It's fantastic.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34If you're really, really interested in it
0:09:34 > 0:09:36and if you really, really, really love it, I'll do 100.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Let's shake on it. Shall we shake on that?- What do you think?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yeah, I think we should. £100...
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Definitely.- Yes? Oh, great. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- That's brilliant.- Thank you.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Not sure if Kate's convinced. But it's all wrapped up at £100.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Well done, Reds. That's your first item bought.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- What kind of things do we like? - I really like that, but she doesn't.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- It's a bit... It's maybe a bit modern.- Oh, it's too, too... No.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Do we agree on things generally, you two?- Not at all.- Not really, no.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- Hardly ever, do we? - Well, we do sometimes.- Sometimes.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Only on little things.- Oh, no...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10This sounds like it's going to be a tricky shop.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Something we agree on is mirrors. - Yeah. I like mirrors.
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Shall we try and find you a mirror, then?
0:10:14 > 0:10:16So we've blown £100, girls.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Well done. On we go!
0:10:21 > 0:10:22I think we should look down...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Actually, there's a stall down here which might be quite nice.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Fantastic skirt. - Girls, stop looking at clothes.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- Meanwhile, the Blues have spotted a table.- No?- No.- You don't like it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- No.- Don't you? You like it? - I like it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- And you don't like it.- No.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Erm, we may not actually buy anything at this rate.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Now, are the Reds having any more luck?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Oh, that's pretty.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49Let's just have a look at if there's a mark on here.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50It's silver-mounted.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53And cut glass.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57So, you see, it's got a star-cut base.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00This probably would have been on a cruet originally.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- So, on a little stand. - With the both of them?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05With the both of them on a table.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08But, actually, I quite like them as a set.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Are they oils or...?- They could be for, yes, vinaigrettes, dressings.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Quite commercial for these days.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- How much?- 80.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- For the pair? - Yeah, for the pair, yeah.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- What do you think? - I love the functionality of them.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25And they're such a beautiful shape.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Do you like them?- I quite like them.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- But I'm also tempted to keep looking.- Mmm-hmm.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35- Let's do that, then. Let's put them back.- Let's remember where we are.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37# Who let the dogs out?
0:11:37 > 0:11:38# Woof! Woof! Woof-woof! #
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- Look deep into those eyes. - Hey, steady, David.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43- Oh, wow!- Oh!
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- I wasn't expecting that. - Oh, my Lord, neither was I.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49'Is that your dad in the background, David?'
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Do you know what it is?- Is it the top of a walking stick?- Cane?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Top of a cane. A walking stick. - What's it made out of?- Have a feel.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- Tell me what you think. Have a look at the colour.- It's heavy.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02- Yeah. I think it's bronze.- Bronze? - Lovely eyes. Bulldog face.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I mean, he puts a smile on your face.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- He scares you first of all and then you smile, don't you?- And is there...
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I mean, what would people do with this?- Oh, people collect cane heads.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Yes, they do.- Oh, do they? - Oh, in a big way.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15And also, there are guys out there who would buy that
0:12:15 > 0:12:20and make a lovely cane to fit it to their own height as well,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- which is a nice thing to do. - That would be good.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- He's nice. Well, how much is he? - How much is he?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- 65.- Oh...
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- I think he's 30 to 50 in auction. - Right.- He's probably 1920s, 1930s.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Dog things do...are good things to have.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Lots of people like dog things.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40But whether they like gruesome dogs like him, I'm not sure.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43How dare you?! He's a bit rough and ready, then, is he?
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- He is a bit rough and I think... - Oh, I think he's quite nice.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- OK, I'm not so sure. - If you don't want him, I do.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51I'd like him for 30, but I don't think it's going to happen.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53It's not going to happen, is it? No.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55# Who let the dogs out? #
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Keep hunting, Blues.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Both teams are now 20 minutes into their shop.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04How do you tell if these are real versus...?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Proper Art Deco versus reproduction?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I can tell from the quality of that that that's a reproduction.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14- Oh, really?- I mean, one of the best makers of Art Deco figures like this
0:13:14 > 0:13:18was a chap called Demetre Chiparus, who worked in Paris.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- His work makes thousands.- Is it the plastic bottom that gives it away?
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Well, look at the face. Look at the way the face has be cast.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The quality just isn't there. The detail.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Plus, you'd expect there to be a nice patina.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Her hands are really awkward.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39You know, Chiparus figures have a real finesse about them.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42They're incredibly elegant.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43She looks lovely.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46But, without the real thing next to her, it's difficult to describe.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50But she's just... The hands are slightly clumsy.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Can you see where the brass has worn around the edge here?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Again, you wouldn't get that on a Chiparus figure.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- Yeah, I'm not crazy about that. - No. No. No.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- I've put you off? - Yeah. Thank you! We can move on.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Who's Chiparus, then? Move on, Reds.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Come on.- Oh, I like that one. - Oh, OK.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Oh! Oh...
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Do we both like that mirror? - Do you like that mirror?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Yes, I quite like that.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21I'm going to really put you on the spot here, you two.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- I'm going to test your skills. - Yes, OK.- Right?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26And you need to tell me its age.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- What is it pretending to be? - A mirror?- Yes!
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Right first time, Beth.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Pretending to be an 18th century Georgian walnut.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38I was going to say Georgian.
0:14:38 > 0:14:44These things were originally made in the 1720s, George I onwards.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47This one dates to the 20th century
0:14:47 > 0:14:51because they became really popular again during the Edwardian period.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- It's also referred to as the Georgian revival.- I like it.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- I thought that was 39.- Yes, so did I. - It's actually 89.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59How much do you think it would go for at auction?
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- I think it's 30 to 50 in auction. - Right.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- But it's got a look, hasn't it? - Yeah, it has.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09Sadly, we thought that was 39, but it's 89. It's lovely. It is lovely.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14- I'll do it for 50.- 50? OK. Nobody can say that was an expensive mirror.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Whether it's going to make a profit in auction is another matter.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19But it's not an expensive mirror.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- I think we should go for it. - OK, let's go for it.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- I want to get our first purchase. - We'll do it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Well, you've just done that, Beth.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Your first purchase is now well and truly under your belts. Brilliant.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Now, the Reds have found something sparkly.
0:15:38 > 0:15:43- What have we go?- Well, it is a natural amethyst. It's silver gilt.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Oh, OK.- So it's silver with a thin layer of gold over the top.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50There's a little bit of damage on here.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- Do you see where the mount has slightly split at the top?- Oh, yes.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00The amethyst itself is lovely. But that's just a wee bit of a problem.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Worth thinking about. What else did you spot? I'll give that back to you.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Keep looking at the bling, Reds.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Meanwhile, the magpie-eyed Blues
0:16:08 > 0:16:10have also homed in on the sparkly stuff.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- What about that curved card case for 78?- So...
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Isn't that lovely?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Now, why is it curved?- Is it easier to pull a card out when it's curved?
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- No. It's to fit inside your pocket. - Oh, right.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26You know, to curve around your body. So we've got the anchor. Made in...?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Birmingham.- Yeah. And we've got the letter "N". Made in what year?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- (1912).- 1912!- I was going to say 12. - Well done! Well done!.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- I was going to say 1912.- Well done.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Engine-turned decoration. Have a feel of that. It's very tactile.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- That's really nice. I like that. - I like it, too.- It's really nice.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Yeah.- It's really good. - We both like it.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54But not only appealing to a silver collector
0:16:54 > 0:16:56but, actually, to someone who would use it. I would use it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57It's functional and beautiful,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- which is what I was going for in the first place.- You were.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Look on the inside. What do you see? - Gilded.- Gilded, yeah.- Wow.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05And this edge would have been gilded originally.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You can just see little traces of it. But that's normal.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12That's been worn with use. That is a really lovely piece.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Ann, talk to me, tell me what you feel.- Yeah, let me feel it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I love the feel of it. Yeah.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I love these engine-turned things as well. Beautiful. I really like that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- I think we ought to have that. - I think we should.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- Don't be saying that yet! - If we get the right price.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- No, no, I think it depends on the price.- That's what I said.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31If we get the right price, we could consider that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- What can you do it for? - I'll do it for £65.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- 60?- No, I can't. Honestly. Not on a piece like that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38I like it. I think we should go for it.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- Happy at 65?- Happy at 65. - It's beautiful and it's functional.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- And it's functional. - Well done, you. Thank you very much.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- We'll have that.- Thank you very much.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Thank you very much. Thank you. Good luck.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Great. That's the second item purchased by the Blues.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Now, listen very carefully. I've got something to show you.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59A napkin ring's a napkin ring which is a napkin ring. Right?
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Some of them are in silver.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Some of them are in less precious metals, like this one.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06It's simply made out of pewter
0:18:06 > 0:18:10but it has be wrought and crafted most beautifully.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Here we've got some ribbons, look.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17And those ribbons have, in between them, some paste stones.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21These two green chaps, in imitation of emeralds.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25And then a pale-blue imitation sapphire in the middle.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Now, they're paste because they're only made of glass,
0:18:29 > 0:18:34but they're cut in a way that's called en cabochon,
0:18:34 > 0:18:37which is a French word
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and it describes an ovoid, uncut surface.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44If you rub your finger over it, it's completely smooth.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48It's like half a whole stone, really.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49The joy of the thing, though,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51is when I turn it round to the other side.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57See that little chap? What we've got is a whole frog.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01He sits with an oval mouth,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04which is in the form of a ruby in paste,
0:19:04 > 0:19:08and two more of those emerald-green eyes.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Don't you think that is just wild?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Well, I do.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17And I have never seen a napkin ring decorated in this way
0:19:17 > 0:19:21and I think it was made around about 1900, 1910.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I can't imagine how attractive around a table
0:19:26 > 0:19:28a dozen of these things would have looked.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I think they were made as a one-off commission
0:19:31 > 0:19:35for somebody who was bonkers about frogs.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38What is bonkers about him is the price.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42The dealer is asking £20 for it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46£20 is a very reasonable price to pay
0:19:46 > 0:19:48for such a beautifully decorated napkin ring.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52And I guess there is a napkin ring collector out there
0:19:52 > 0:19:55who really loves this period of stuff
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and he would pay for that the top end of £100.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01How's that?
0:20:01 > 0:20:02Splendid.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Back to the shopping.
0:20:04 > 0:20:09It's 2-1 up to the Blues and Kate is busy beefing up her team.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13- We've got about 12, 15 minutes. - Oh, OK, OK, OK.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14- We need two things.- Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17What have we seen that's taken your fancy?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20We looked at the lovely amethyst oval pendant,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- where the mount was slightly damaged, but the stone itself was nice.- Yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26We looked at the two vinaigrette bottles.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- I liked them.- They were pretty. - You liked those?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Shall we have another look at those?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- OK. I think they're just right over there.- Right.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- So let's take a look at those.- Yes.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- And then we'd have one more item. - OK, let's do that, then.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Do you want another look at the vinaigrette...?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- They're there. - Yes, they're still there. Right.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45So what do we think about these, then, ladies?
0:20:45 > 0:20:47What's your best on these?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Well, I've got 80 on them. - Right.- Erm...
0:20:50 > 0:20:51But they're quite rare.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- They're Glasgow, although the mark's rubbed.- Mmmm.- 1839.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57But they've got that old head on them,
0:20:57 > 0:20:58which, I suppose, would be William IV.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00But they're nice things.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02They've got a couple of minor repairs on them, but...
0:21:02 > 0:21:07Yeah, there's been a bit of repair on the handle there, hasn't there?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09And maybe on that one, too. I'm not sure.
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Do you see where the silver's a bit crinkled?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12There's been a little bit of repair work there.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15And how much will that affect the overall price?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Well, they're not pristine. Erm...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20It would be nice if they weren't repaired.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I think we need to take that into account. So...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26What's the gentleman's best? What could you do?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27- Ooooh...- Just for us?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- You're such a nice guy. - Oh, no. I'm not that nice.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- I could do 75, if it helps you. - Oh, I don't think...
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- It's because they're Glasgow.- Yeah. It's the damage I'm worried about.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- I know. And a pair, as well, so... - Yeah.- Could you bring it down a bit?
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- I think that might put somebody off a bit.- I tell you, I'll do 70.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48- If you could do 60...?- I couldn't. I really couldn't, honestly.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I'm trying my best. 70 would be definite, honestly.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55- Could you do it at 69? I mean, I know that sounds crazy, but...- 69?!
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Because, you know... - Oh, go on, then!
0:21:57 > 0:21:59What do we think? 69...
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- We're running out of time. - You know what?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06- I think it's worth going for it at 69.- I like them. They're Glasgow.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Yes, they've had a little bit of repair, but they're commercial.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11- 69?- Lovely.- We'll do it. Thank you.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Brilliant, Reds. Item number two in the bag.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Meanwhile, with time running out, the pressure is mounting.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Do you work well under pressure? - Yes, I'm all right.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Do you? OK, I'm going to tell you you've got 12 minutes.
0:22:23 > 0:22:28- Oh, no, not that pressure!- To find it, buy it and get out of here.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29OK. OK.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32The Reds have returned to the jewellery stall
0:22:32 > 0:22:34they were looking at earlier on.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39This is a erm...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41The item is ticketed at £78.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45This is more unusual. It's circular. And it's a little vesta.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48It opens up like that, do you see? And that's for matches.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52And, on the bottom, you've got the strike action.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Now, normally, vestas open that way and they have the hinge on the side.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00It's also unusual to have them circular in shape.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01They're normally rectangular.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03So this is something that a collector would like
0:23:03 > 0:23:05because it's a little bit more unusual.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Lovely condition. What's the best on that one?
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- That's got to be 70, I'm afraid. - That's got to be 70?- Yes.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Talk to me about the little caddy spoon. How much is that?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Yeah, that's different. 1905.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- 48, that one.- That's for tea.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Oh, and that's Chester, so that's good.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- That's for tea? - That's the caddy spoon.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I like that better.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29So who would buy the little shovel thing?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Caddy spoons are collectable in their own right.- OK.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33What's the vote?
0:23:33 > 0:23:37- I know. Hands up for caddy spoon. - I like the caddy spoon.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Hands up for vesta. That really doesn't help!- It's your decision.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yeah, down to you, Kate.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- I think the caddy spoon has a little bit more of a chance.- OK.- OK.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- So, is that a deal?- Deal! Deal!
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Oh, yay!
0:23:50 > 0:23:51Oh, my goodness!
0:23:51 > 0:23:54That's it. The Reds have done it. Three purchases in the bag.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59Congratulations. But the Blues still need to find one more item.
0:23:59 > 0:24:00Could this be it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05- OK, you two. What do you think about that? What is it?- It's a knife rest.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It is a knife rest.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Is it posh or what?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It is posh, but you'd only be able to rest two knives.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Well, it's a romantic evening, isn't it?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- How many knives do you want to rest? - Listen, you've got six minutes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- OK. Erm,...how much are these? - 50.- £50.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- OK.- Are they silver? - We've got crystal, we've got silver.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28They're Edwardian, 1905, 1906-7. But they are very posh.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32But they'd need to be... 30? No?
0:24:32 > 0:24:3440. And I'm giving them away.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- They're quality objects. So quality will always sell.- OK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Now, you've got two minutes.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- Basically, you're scuppered. - Yeah, that's it, isn't it?
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Because, by the time you two find something else
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- and start talking about it, we're going to be out of time.- OK.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50So, do you make an offer of 35...
0:24:52 > 0:24:53..and bag them?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- 35?- Go on, then.- OK.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- She just said that because she wants to get rid of us.- Yes, we're done.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Hallelujah!
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I'll second that. Hallelujah!
0:25:04 > 0:25:07The Blues have now also finished their shop.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Right, that's it. Time's up.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, eh?
0:25:11 > 0:25:17An Hermes scarf was picked up for the silky-smooth price of £100.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20They spent £69 on a pair of William IV
0:25:20 > 0:25:23silver-mounted cut glass oil decanters.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28And, finally, they sprinkled £48 on this silver caddy spoon.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- What happened to the game plan? - I don't know.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- It just went out the window. - It fell apart.- Did it?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- So which is your favourite piece? - The scarf.- OK, scarf.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Totally the scarf.- Is it? - Absolutely.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Is it going to bring the biggest profit?- I think so.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- Or the little shovel. The little silver...- Caddy spoon.- Thank you.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Sorry, caddy spoon. Yes.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52So, do you agree it could be the spade-shovel
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- or is it going to be your scarf for the top profit?- I like the scarf.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- Do you? And how much did you spend in "toto"?- 217.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You are such cool kids.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01- Yeah, we try.- 217.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06So, I would like £83 of leftover lolly, which is marvellous.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- I love it when your spend up, you girls.- And three.- Three.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- OK, here we go. Thank you very much, Kate Bliss.- Right.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16So, dream girl, what are you going to go for?
0:26:16 > 0:26:20We have a certain elegance, I think, throughout our items.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24- So I'm going to continue the theme. - Oh, OK.- And, you are such a tease.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Anyway, good luck with that, girls.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Meanwhile, we're going to check out
0:26:27 > 0:26:29what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34So, on reflection, they spent 50 on this George II-style mirror.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39They spent £65 on the silver card case.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And, finally, the forked out £35
0:26:41 > 0:26:44for a pair of silver-mounted knife rests.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- So, indecision rules, right?- Yes.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Which is your favourite piece?
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- It's the mirror.- Is it? "Mirror, mirror, on the wall..."
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I like the little card case.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Good. And is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:57 > 0:26:58I hope so. I think so.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- So, how much did you spend in "toto"?- 150.- Lovely number.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I'd like £150 of leftover lolly. Thank you very much, Beth.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- We're going to buck up here.- Thanks, Tim.- OK, so are you going cruising?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I'm going it spend some quality time on my own and make a decision.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13- Are you? What, a quick decision? - Yes!
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Well, you'd better leg it, then.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Meanwhile, we're going to go somewhere really handy.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Try an auction in Bedford.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37Well, Lindsay Vintiner is our auctioneer today
0:27:37 > 0:27:39from Peacock's Auctioneers in Bedford.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41And it's gorgeous to be here, Lindsay.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Lovely to see you, too, Tim.- Now, for the Reds, we've got a scarf.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- We have indeed, yes.- This is what every girl wants, right, Lindsay?
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Erm,...yes, to a certain extent. It's a good maker, Hermes.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Lovely colours, actually. Really nice.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59You've got the original box there and it's in good condition.
0:27:59 > 0:28:04- So what's it worth?- 60 to 100, we think.- Really? OK, £100 paid.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Next we've got two bottles
0:28:06 > 0:28:09which once came out of a frame with about six bottles.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10They will have done indeed, yes.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15So we've got a part set here. They're silver-mounted, William IV.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19English, rather than Scottish, as the expert was led to believe.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21But they're in good condition.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Certainly look the part on a table
0:28:23 > 0:28:25with some nice-coloured vinegar and oils in them.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29So I can imagine them being relatively popular in the sale.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- But at a price... - What would your price be?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34We would say £50 to £80.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38OK. £69 paid. So that's about spot on, really, isn't it?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41And their last item is the caddy spoon,
0:28:41 > 0:28:44which is Ross & Sons, Chester.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Quite a nice little thing.- Yeah.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Yes, quite stylish. Loosely Arts and Crafts, I suppose, in its style.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Easy to sell these things.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- So what's your estimate?- £20 to £30.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57OK, £48 paid. So they may have spent just a tad too much on that.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Which could tip them towards needing their bonus buy.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Well, girls, this is it.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07£83 you gave Kate.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09What did you spend it on?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11You might...
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Oh, I don't believe it! - Oh, wow!- Can I feel?
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Of course you can. We did quite a bit of dithering about this, didn't we?
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- And I've decided to take the plunge. - Oh, fantastic.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24The reason I have taken the plunge is it is, of course, amethyst
0:29:24 > 0:29:26and coloured gem stones like amethyst
0:29:26 > 0:29:30are prized for their tone of colour, their depth of colour, if you like.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33And it's got a really nice rich purple colour.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36But also the saturation of the colour.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39So how much the colour is spread out in the stone, literally.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41And that's quite a nice example.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45And the way it's cut is that it's faceted on both sides
0:29:45 > 0:29:49so you've got a lovely little sparkle to it as it catches the light.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- How old is it? - Not particularly old.- It's not?
0:29:52 > 0:29:54- I wouldn't say it was antique, no. - Oh.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- But it's a very wearable piece of jewellery.- Yeah. It's very pretty.
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- How much did you pay for it in the end?- I paid, in the end, 65.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Hey, that's great!
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- What do you think we'll get for it? - Well, I think it's a fair price.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11I think, on a good day, you might get a little bit of profit.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12It's a fingers crossed job.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Feels like a good day, so... OK, that's good.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- You like it, Jax, don't you? - I really like it.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20You really like. You'd like to put it straight on, wouldn't you?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- I can tell that.- I'm going to run. - Keep an eye on it.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Well, you can't. So, we're going to have to see it sold.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27But you don't pick right now
0:30:27 > 0:30:30whether you want to take it as your bonus buy. You do that later.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32But what we do, for the audience at home,
0:30:32 > 0:30:34is find out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's pendant.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- Nice girlie object.- It's a nice colour, isn't it? Good size.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44We have a silver gilt surround. And could be very popular this.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- And so what's your estimate? - 40 to 60.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48Pretty little thing. £40 to £60.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Kate paid £65 as her bonus buy.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54So there's a bit of excitement there.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58And, I have to say,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00this is not the most exciting
0:31:00 > 0:31:02reproduction walnut mirror I've ever seen.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It's not, I'm afraid.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07We see these nearly every day of the week, sadly.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Hmmmm. And what do you get for them?
0:31:09 > 0:31:13- We're lucky if we get £30 for them at the moment.- Beth paid 50.
0:31:13 > 0:31:1630 to 50 is your estimate, isn't it?
0:31:16 > 0:31:19So £30 on a good day, with the wind up their tails.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21So that could be a problem.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Next is the curved card case. And I guess you sell a lot of these, too?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29We do, yes. This one's a nice quality of its type.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34I like the striped engravings. Quite simple. Good present for someone.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36So it's good to go.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39How much does it have to go at, do you think?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- 30 to 40.- OK. £65 paid.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Next is a pair of knife rests.- Yes.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Nice to have the silver mounts but, by jingo, are they bashed.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- They have seen better days, haven't they?- Yeah.- Sadly.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Well, somebody's obviously used them.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- Whether it's been as a knife rest, I don't know.- What's your price?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- £30 to £40 for the pair. - OK, £35 paid.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02So it is about the right price to pay.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05But I do think that card case is going to be a bit of a struggle.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06And I think the mirror will be a struggle.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08In which case, they'll need their bonus buy.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10So let's have a look at it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- So, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- It is.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17You gave our man of the moment £150. It's apparently quite small.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20David, let's have a look.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Small, but highly desirable, Tim. - Oh...
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- We like a bit of bling, girls? - Oh, yeah! I like it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- That's really pretty. - Isn't that gorgeous? Solid silver.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Beautiful hallmarks. Hallmarked in Chester, which is rare.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37They stopped hallmarking in Chester in 1961.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39This was hallmarked in '45,
0:32:39 > 0:32:45but by an incredibly well-known and highly respected Halifax silversmith
0:32:45 > 0:32:47by the name of Charles Horner.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- Excellent.- Superb quality. - Perfect. That's just what we wanted.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- And how much did you pay for it?- 20.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54- 20?- 20.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- 20?- Pounds?- £20?
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Just £20.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- Wow! Brilliant.- Oh, that's really good.- Well done.- It's a bargain.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- I love it. I like it. - It's really, really sweet.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Have you got high hopes for it? - I do.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I think it could double its money.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12I think 30 to 50, 40 to 60 would be a sensible estimate.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Let's find out, for the audience at home,
0:33:15 > 0:33:17what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's bangle.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Now, Lindsay, something else to resist, look.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Indeed, yes.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27Well, we have a silver buckle bracelet here by the man himself,
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Charles Horner. Always a good seller at auction.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Like the design of this, to resemble a belt buckle there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34So how much?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- 50 to 80.- OK, that's great.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- £20 paid by that cunning monkey, David Harper.- Oh, brilliant.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41So he's paid the right money for that,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44if the team decide to go with it.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- And that is the big question, isn't it, Lindsay?- It is indeed.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48It is indeed. Thank you very much.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52On commission now at 320. Up £320.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Who's going to bid for these now? 320.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05Now, Beth, Ann, your first item. Beth, you found it.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07It was a wee mirror. £50 you paid for that.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09I'm afraid I've been pretty rude about it.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10It's a reproduction mirror.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12OK, she's put £30 to £50.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Actually, it's a perfectly nice furnishing mirror.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16- That's what we thought.- Exactly.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18And it's clean and it's ready to go.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21And it's very, very Bedford, if you know what I mean. And here it comes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25£50 for it. 50 start me for the mirror. 30 to get on then.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Must be 30.
0:34:26 > 0:34:2820. Are you in?

0:35:13 > 0:35:14That's nothing.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16That's not even a sheet of Bronco.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38That's how to do it. That's how to do it.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41So, you were minus 25. You're now minus 20, OK?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42So what are we going to do, then?
0:36:42 > 0:36:44We are definitely going for that bonus.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Are we hot for his bracelet? - Oh, definitely.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- We're going to go with it, yes? - Definitely.- Stand by.
0:36:49 > 0:36:50Cross you legs, girls.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52£100. Start me for the bracelet. 100.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01who've managed to score absolutely nothing, are the Blues.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Yay!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06It's a weird thing to happen that you do all that effort
0:42:06 > 0:42:08and you get up and you get down
0:42:08 > 0:42:11and you finish with an excellent bonus buy, I have to say,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14which gave you £20 worth of profit off old Charles Horner.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16But he didn't do enough. He didn't do anything.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19He just took you back to where you started, which is...
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- I think that was quite skilful. - Yeah, so do I.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23I mean, that is what you call skill. But you had a nice time?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- We've had a brilliant time. - Yeah, it was better than a holiday.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28How about that?!
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Anyway, our holiday-makers over here,
0:42:31 > 0:42:35who are actually going home with £83,
0:42:35 > 0:42:37which is a sum of money.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42Well done, Kate. Here's 82 of your £83.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And I had not seen those decanters coming at all.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47There's your last pound.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50For a profit of £91, I thought that was amazing.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- It was amazing, actually. - Well done, Kate.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54And you didn't go with the bonus buy
0:42:54 > 0:42:57but that didn't win or lose either, so that was skilful.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00So it's been altogether rather wonderful, hasn't it, Jax?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02- It's been wonderful. - You enjoyed it, too?- Fantastic.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Well, thank you very much for coming and making our day.
