0:00:02 > 0:00:07Today, the show comes to you from Kingston upon Thames.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11And boy, do we have a right royal one too.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14So let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Historically, Kingston has always had a royal connection.
0:00:43 > 0:00:48Indeed, back in 900 AD, no less than seven Saxon kings
0:00:48 > 0:00:50had their coronations here.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53But in our version of Game of Thrones,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56which team will be crowned victorious?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Let's take a peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Both teams are en vogue today. The Blues strike a pose.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08- That is so you.- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11There's style tips for the Reds.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15- I'm not really into dresses.- No? - No.- You surprise me!- Ha-ha!
0:01:16 > 0:01:19But can the boys fashion a profit at the auction?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21£45.
0:01:21 > 0:01:2345 is a jolly good price.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Let's meet the teams.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30So it's the lads versus the lasses on today's programme.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34For the Reds, we have Nate and Johnny.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38And for the blues we have Teresa and Buffy. Hello, everyone.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Smashing to see you. Now, Nate, how did you two chaps meet?
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Well, Johnny started as a placement student last summer for us
0:01:46 > 0:01:48in the lab that I work in.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51I was one of his trainers, basically.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54We found out that we have loads in common and of course,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56we like watching Bargain Hunt at lunchtime together.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Oh, yes! That's the right message. So are you a scientist or something?
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Yes, I work as a scientist.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I test food and pharmaceuticals for trace metals.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- It's really interesting.- Is there a lot of that about in our grub?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12There are harmful things, but there are more positive things like calcium and sodium.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16They are trace metals. So that's positive things that help with your food.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Good. I'm reassured.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Now, Johnny, your hobby involves some physical contact, doesn't it?
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Yes. I play American football. I started at University.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- So you get the old pads on, get the helmet on and go and thump all hell out of somebody or other?- Yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Is it as violent as it appears? - Yes, definitely.- It is.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35You come back after the game with a lot of bruises.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So how are you going to get on on Bargain Hunt today?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40All those tips that I've given you over the years at lunchtime,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42are they going to come into play?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- Let's hope so.- It's a test, isn't it, Nate?- Yes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I don't think we have that big a knowledge, but we have a few things.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Obviously, you've given advice on the show a few times.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54But I think we might be looking for some kind of Oriental piece, maybe.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59Really? Yes, I think you're going to do very well. You have clearly been frightfully well taught!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Anyway, good luck chaps.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Now, Teresa, you are no strangers to TV, are you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08We actually met in the BBC in the 1980s.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11We were both assistant designers in the art department there.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- What sort of programmes were you involved in?- Jonathan Creek.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- Lovejoy.- No! Really?
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- You picked up some tips there, I bet!- Absolutely.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Teresa, you are retired.- I am.
0:03:23 > 0:03:29The great thing about retirement is I can go into my studio every day now and paint like mad.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I just look for something that catches my eye and paint away.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Now, Buffy, since your BBC days, what have you earned a crust at?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Well, I left the BBC in '96
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and I did a bit of teaching in secondary school.
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Then I went and worked with Teresa on the MA production design for film and television.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51We populate the industry with our students. So it's good.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53And it's quite a small course and so personal and...
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- You get to know the students quite well and you get very attached to them.- Exactly.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59What will you buy, do you think?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03I would like to buy some south-east Asian ceramics or something interesting.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07I have done wood turning and I would like to buy something in wood,
0:04:07 > 0:04:10but whether something else catches our eye, I don't know.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- But we are open to suggestions and we want to spend loads of money.- Do you?
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Oh, good! You are women after my own heart, which is perfect!
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Anyway, here is the £300.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22All I can tell you is that in the antiques centre today,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25there will be a great selection for you to pick from.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go!
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Very, very, very good luck. What fun, eh?
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Hunting out a bah-gain for the Reds, it's Kate Bliss.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40But trying to get ahead of them for the Blues is David Harper.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- What are you going to be looking for? - Maybe something oriental.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Something along those lines. - OK. What about you, Johnny?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I've seen teapots go quite well on this show,
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- so I think I'm going to be looking for a teapot maybe.- A teapot?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57An oriental teapot would be perfect, wouldn't it?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58We'd better see what we can do.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01So our two scientists have a strategy in place,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03but have our artists drawn up a game plan?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I think it's going to be an arty feel, what do you think?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Hopefully, Asian pottery.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- A nice bit of Asian pottery would be fantastic.- Sounds good to me.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14And I love antiques centres. Here we are.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18We have 60 minutes of fun and laughter and pain, probably! Go on.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Excellent.- In you go.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now. OK, dummy?
0:05:26 > 0:05:31Now, round here is a cabinet with lots of Oriental stuff.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33So have a little look.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Any teapots, Kate?
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Are you Mega Deal Matthew? - I'm Mega Deal Matthew.- Fantastic!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I've heard all about you. OK. Upstairs.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43Some good groundwork with the staff, Dave.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50I see. It's been repaired at the top there. That's a shame, isn't it, because they are quite decorative.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Yes. They are quite nice.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Not very practical for a brew, Kate.
0:05:53 > 0:05:58- 160 for the pair.- 160. - It's quite expensive.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It is expensive, especially with the damage on it as well.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- The damage is going to knock them a lot.- Yes.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Maybe Matthew could... What's the best price on these?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I will give the dealer a ring and find out.- All right. Great.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Make that call, Matthew, whilst we check in with the Blues.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18The abacus is lovely as well. I love the abacus but not that that price.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Nobody is going to buy that today, are they, and use it?- No.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24They are going to put it in some great apartment or maybe
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- a hallway and it's going to look the business.- Absolutely.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Is it worth looking at? Are you interested in having a go?
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Shall we have a look round first? - OK.- Then we'll come back to it. - Put the abacus in the back pocket.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That is a good wooden thing for you.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39One to add to your list then, girls.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Any news on the vases, Kate?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- You are looking at girlie stuff. Not really your style! - Not really our thing, I don't think.
0:06:45 > 0:06:51I have just bumped into Matthew and he said he can't get hold of the vendor of the Chinese vases,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53so I think we might have to discount those.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56He can't get a good price for us and they were damaged.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58So shall we go through there?
0:06:58 > 0:07:03Ah, well, boys, onwards and upwards, eh? Maybe it wasn't meant to be.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- This is rather wonderful.- Oh, I say! That is a bit of you two, isn't it?
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- That's wonderful.- This is very nice.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It says 'Please do not sit', but it looks very tempting.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13One presumes you can sit on it.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16What you do in situations like that, is this.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Let's have a look.- It's fantastic.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I'm glad you're not the Red team because it would not go!
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I love the way it swivels. - It is lovely.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Is it worth finding out what deal we could get on that?
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Let me try it first.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35- And the colours you are wearing look amazing with that.- Absolutely.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- That is so you.- And it twizzles! - It's really nice actually.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41So, period? What date is it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Erm... It actually says. - It's 1970s funky pink American.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50It's funny though, isn't it, how maybe 15 years ago it wouldn't have
0:07:50 > 0:07:53been nearly as sought after or as popular.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It's just how things turn and change.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- I think it's perfect.- Brilliant.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Let's tip it over.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- The bottoms of anything... - It looks pretty solid.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09So that has been recovered because you have got those fresh staples there.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11That is just Velcro.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- And there is your original pillow.- It is too.- It is.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Now that's good. I think it's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Excellent.- I have to say.- Do you think we could make a cheeky offer?
0:08:23 > 0:08:28- What would be cheeky?- £190? - Oh my gosh, that would be cheeky!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Well, look, shall we bring in Marion?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32We could. What's the very, very best?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The very bottom price is 120. Which is quite good.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38What do you think David?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I think, who can say that is an expensive chair at 120?
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- It's a design icon.- I love it, you love it, you love it. Let's go for it.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51We've done a deal. Thank you. The first purchase. Excellent.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54All right, leave it there. Continue, my darling.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57We had decided we were going to spend as much money as possible.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Oh, right.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01That's what I like to hear, Buffy. Well done, Blues.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- It was this one, wasn't it, that you liked?- Yes. - Do you want to have a little look?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Oh, a bit of silver, eh, chaps?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13It's quite unusual on the inside.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15It's nice that it has got its blue glass liner.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It stops the mustard being tainted by the silver
0:09:18 > 0:09:20and actually corroding the silver.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23It's a lovely sort of classical shape,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26if you like, with a little bit of detail around the edge.
0:09:26 > 0:09:31So let's just have a look at that. We haven't got a hallmark on the bottom.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- Let's just look at the side.- Is that something there? By the handle.- Yes.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Well spotted, Johnny. So we have a little hallmark there.
0:09:41 > 0:09:46So it's Sheffield 1925 in date.
0:09:47 > 0:09:54But it's £110, which actually, for one mustard, is quite a bit of money.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- Anything else catch your eye?- The two glass bottles.- Have a look at that.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01This is only 66.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Is it damaged in the middle? Or is it just the join?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07That's the join, I think. I think it's just a little bit dirty.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09No, I think that's all right, actually.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14These are quite popular because people like them for salads dressings or oil.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18And then see whether these tops are silver or silver plate.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21There is a marking on the side there.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26- Is it silver or silver plate? - I think that's silver. Let's have a little look.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- I like them, actually.- I do quite like them as well.- It seems unusual.
0:10:30 > 0:10:36£66. Nicely hallmarked. And they are actually just Victorian.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40There isn't much of a patina on there
0:10:40 > 0:10:44but as an object, I think it's a nice thing.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48At auction I can see it making £30 or £40, something like that.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Because we have got silver mounts. - Maybe if we can get it down.- Yes.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- See what the lowest price we can get for it is.- Hi, there.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Could you find out the best price for us on that please?- Yes, OK.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01That would be lovely, thank you.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Hopefully, this dealer is at home, eh, boys?
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- Look at that. Any thing of interest? - No.- The jade.- Watch out for jade.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12It's very easy to have a repro, isn't it?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15Jade is millions of years old. How do you know when it was carved?
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Absolutely.- Ming Dynasty or Monday? It's very difficult.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I take jade to specialist people who live and breathe jade.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- And they still don't know. - They don't know either.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Some good advice Mr H. Buyers beware.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Nothing's shouting at me. Anything shouting at you?- No. Not really.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Well, it would be scary if it was shouting at you, wouldn't it?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38That might make it quite special!
0:11:38 > 0:11:42A good shout might be to check out the Reds' glass bottle.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Any joy with that price?
0:11:44 > 0:11:49- 52.- 52 is the rock bottom? - 50, I think he would go to.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51What do you think?
0:11:51 > 0:11:54I think 50 might be a bit steep for that.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I really like it though. It is an unusual item.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I guess this could be your one then.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- We can get the first one on the board.- Why not?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Great. Well done. Thank you very much.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Wonderful. First purchase.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11OK, teams, two items left to find.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I'm going to nip off now and share with you a little story about a bright spark.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Do you fancy a boys' toy?
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Well, the very best boys' toys, I think,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25sit around on boys' desks, which is what this thing does.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's a paperweight.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29It's got a nice baize bottom on it
0:12:29 > 0:12:33so when it is sitting on your desk it won't scratch the surface.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35But every time you look at it,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38it has something that intrigues or amuses.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42And sure enough, if you look at the face of this thing, it is intriguing.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46The secret though is given away by the inscription on the top.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49It says AEI Cable Division.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53So it's a length of cable that has been cut in section
0:12:53 > 0:12:57and then frozen into this aluminium box.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03An Italian had invented a method of transmitting high voltages
0:13:03 > 0:13:06without the cables overheating and distorting
0:13:06 > 0:13:09and he did that in the 1920s.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15This particular aluminium case was made by AEI to present to
0:13:15 > 0:13:21prestigious customers to display this particular special cable.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25It might cost you £40 in an antique shop or antiques fair,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27but what's it worth?
0:13:27 > 0:13:33In the right place at the right time, I reckon between £100 and £150 at least.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35That's pretty sparky, isn't it?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Time for our teams to look sparky now as you are halfway
0:13:40 > 0:13:42and still only have one item apiece.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- What do you like about that? - Just because it's so odd.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I think I would find it odd at £45.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52So what is it?
0:13:52 > 0:13:54It's a kettle on a stand and it's obviously got a little
0:13:54 > 0:13:58reservoir to put I presume oil in to heat it up.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I think it's bizarre.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Teresa, what is it made of? What period does it come from?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Oh, gosh, I have absolutely no idea. Deco-ish?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Deco is kind of '20s onwards, isn't it? This is the art movement before that.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- Nouveau.- Nouveau.- Very much so. It's very organic.- Organic.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- Absolutely right. Look at that.- Do you think it's genuine?- Absolutely.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23You hold that. Let me have a look at that.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- It's very light.- It is bizarre.- What it is, it is a functioning piece.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- It will work. There is no doubt about it.- Is it copper or brass?
0:14:32 > 0:14:37It's copper. And brass. Incredibly Art Nouveau. Look at this arm.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40I mean, it really is like a tree branch, isn't it?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Why would you buy it, David? - Because it's stylish, Teresa.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Get with it! Come on!
0:14:45 > 0:14:48But it doesn't go with the pink chair!
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- No, it doesn't go... Well, I don't know actually.- Hang on a minute.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55The pink chair screams 1970 design, doesn't it?
0:14:55 > 0:15:00This screams Art Nouveau 1890-1900 design.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02We are buying into design here.
0:15:02 > 0:15:07This sort of reminds me of Liberty, Christopher Dresser, that same period.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12It also falls into the arts and crafts period. Look at the hand beating.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16It has actually been beautifully made and it's got a nice pattern to it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- You are really into handmade stuff. - I am, yes.- I think you should decide.- I think it's fantastic.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- I think if you two like it, we should go for it. - Yes. It's not very expensive
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- and I think we could get it for a much better price.- OK.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- You hold that. Shall I go and get Mega Deal?- That's a good idea.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34We'll see what we can do. I think if you two like it...
0:15:34 > 0:15:36I think the next one has got to be yours.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38If the dealer is willing to budge on the price,
0:15:38 > 0:15:41it might have a sporting chance at the auction.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Speaking of sporting.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46What you think about this? A medicine ball. That is something a bit sporting.
0:15:46 > 0:15:51I don't think it would sell that well because it's quite old. What would you use it for nowadays?
0:15:51 > 0:15:55There are people who specialise in dealing with this sort of thing.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Leather sporting goods, vintage sporting goods.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00But it is quite a specialist market
0:16:00 > 0:16:03so if it doesn't tickle your fancy, maybe we should move on.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06- I don't think it's really for us, is it?- No.- No?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Come on then. On we go. Time is ticking.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13No, those boys at not looking tickled, Kate. Here we go then.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Marion is back with a price.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Marion, what is the very best on the copper, funny, old kettle?- Right.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26Let's just have a look. It's 45. 25, we will go to?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- You are marvellous. Thank you. - That's really good.- Excellent. Thanks Marion.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32- Thank you very much. - Well done, you two.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I think that is a cracking deal, I really do.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38And you girls are steaming ahead. Well done.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42Always pushing for that extra fiver. Number two for the Blues.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Loads of vintage stuff. Probably not your kind of thing.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49- We are not really into dresses! - No? You surprise me!- Ha-ha!
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Not even at the weekend, Nate?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58We've got two really distinctly art and design objects.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03I knew these two would be crazy about arty things, so I think that's the theme.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05This is where we're going.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08So one left for the Blues. The Reds are playing catch up.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Tea for two, Johnny?
0:17:11 > 0:17:15- I do quite like this teapot here. - That ticks the boxes, doesn't it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- You said you wanted a teapot. - It is kind of Chinese as well.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Oriental.- It does. You are absolutely right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- But this is about as English as you can get.- OK.- It's really interesting.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Great that it's a teapot and I love the shape of it.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- That is what is selling it to me. - I like this little lid at the top.
0:17:33 > 0:17:38Exactly. This is typical '30s in shape. Classic Art Deco.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43It's all quite angular which contrasts with the lovely globus shape of the teapot.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47It is really interesting you say that it looks Chinese to me
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and that is because of the pattern.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53This is a very well-known pattern which is called Willow pattern.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58It is transfer printed in blue rather than painted, so printed on.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02And it's called Willow pattern because of this Willow tree.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04But it's a very Oriental looking landscape.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10You've got pagodas here, typically Chinese. A lot of people love it.
0:18:10 > 0:18:15And blue and white is traditionally very commercial. What's the price?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19£45. That's not too bad. What do you think?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- I would like to see it for between 10 and 15.- Oh, really?
0:18:24 > 0:18:28Then I think we might make a profit. So let's call... Marion?
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Come on in, Marion. Johnny here is a bit of a teapot fan.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Anyway, £45 is the ticket price.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Would you like me to give a quick call?- Would you mind?
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Just to see what the very best is. Thank you, Marion.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And hopefully this one will be in the bag, chaps.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49Now the Blues look like they are spoiled for choice.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54- I can't see a price.- It's 360.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59I don't think we'll even get a mega deal on that one!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Dearie me! That's more than your entire budget, girls.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07And Kate doesn't seem to have had her lunch yet.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It's been restored, chaps. Can you see? I didn't spot that at first.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It just goes to show you have to be so careful.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Well spotted, Kate. Every cloud, eh, boys?
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Can you see where the printing changes colour?- Oh, yes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27And that is a little bit creamy in colour rather than white.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30If you feel it on your teeth, that is the real test.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36It actually feels slightly soft. Whereas this pottery is really hard.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40It's glazed. So that has been chipped and restored.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Which is a bit of a killer.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47At least it should give you a bit more bargaining power to get the price down.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50That is really annoying. That was spot on for what we wanted.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Oh, well. We'll see what we get.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Hey, guys.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I have just caught Marion on the phone
0:19:56 > 0:19:59and I've told her that we know it's restored.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02She says the dealer will come down to £10 for us.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04OK. That's a very nice price.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- I think that's quite good.- You like it as well, don't you?- I like that.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- This can be your item. - This can be my one.- There we go.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Are you willing to take a gamble and go for it?
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- For £10, I am willing to take a gamble.- Great.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- Purchase two. Well done. - Excellent.- Let's go back this way.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25Both teams have 10 minutes left and one item to find. Best crack on.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29I love the colour. I think it's a beautiful colour.
0:20:29 > 0:20:34- The glaze is gorgeous. - The decoration?- Could they be birds?
0:20:34 > 0:20:39- I think they are bats.- Bats? How wonderful!- I think it's a bat pot.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Very important in Chinese culture, the bat.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47Glaze on the underside is not usual.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Normally on a very early pot you would have no glaze.
0:20:50 > 0:20:55- It would be as rough as that rim. - So that is not a good indication.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57That means that might be a complete fake.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01It might be a 19th or early 20th century copy
0:21:01 > 0:21:03of a much earlier glazed pot.
0:21:03 > 0:21:09I think the more I look at it that turquoise colour is certainly not an early colour.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11It is 235.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14We were wondering if they would come down to 150.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I really wouldn't. We're going into a general sale.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Nobody is going to understand that pot.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's a lovely thing but too risky for this game.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24We will go with our expert.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Another top tip there, Dave.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Keep looking girls. Now, Kate is on the hunt for a well-known name.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Now that is by Lalique,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36who was a very well-known glass manufacturer.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I'm sure I've seen another bit of Lalique.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44It might be in that cabinet down there, which was a little bit more affordable.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Do you remember what it was? - What have they got in here?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I thought I saw a little bit of Lalique somewhere.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Oh, it's here. It's this one. Can we have a little look at that?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Do you like that, boys? - Yes. I think it's a good design.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- I quite like it as well.- Lalique was famous for glass manufacture.
0:22:02 > 0:22:08He was based in France and started at the end of the 19th century
0:22:08 > 0:22:12and became very prominent in the early part of the 20th century.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14And he signed his pieces on the bottom.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18You can see Lalique in script there, which is rather nice.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22The Lalique factory is still producing today.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It's a nice piece but the modern pieces tend to be less
0:22:25 > 0:22:29desirable than the older pieces. So what's the price on that?
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Is that 125?- How much do you think that would make at auction?
0:22:33 > 0:22:37£30 to £50 I would probably put it at because it is a lot later.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41Have you got any other pieces of Lalique?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I think we have a little sparrow around the corner.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Kate's on a French glass mission.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- It's difficult.- It is difficult, that's for sure.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52And it seems David is on the Oriental trail.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- Have a look at that.- I do like that.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00- 125. Made from...- Bronze. - Bronze. Absolutely bronze.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04And it's obviously Oriental, isn't it? Chinese, I would have thought.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- Would it have had a top? - Yes. It's missing its lid.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13- Now, what would the lid look like? - Is it an incense burner?- Yes, it is.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17So presumably it would have had slats in or holes in to let incense out.
0:23:17 > 0:23:22Yes, it would. So if it's Japanese it is referred to as a koro.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25If it's Chinese it's referred to as a censor. It's a beautiful thing.
0:23:25 > 0:23:31It is a form of meditation. Decorated with, look at him, it's a dragon.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- Just beautiful.- Is it something that is going to lose value big-time because of not having its top?
0:23:37 > 0:23:42It's going to be worth less money. It's going to be criticised. But it's still quite a nice thing.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47I mean, you cannot date these things accurately. It's got no markings on the base which is normal.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- Do you reckon a couple of hundred years?- It could be that.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Let's say it's 19th century, that would be fair.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- I think we should.- I really like it. - Do you really like it?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I think it's lovely. I think we should go for it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02If you think it's worthwhile, I think we should.
0:24:02 > 0:24:08- There's your ticket. 125.- I think go for 80.- Let's go for 80 and see what we do.- Shall I go and get Matthew?
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Let's see if we can do a really good deal and that would leave you some money to do us an extra piece.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15You stay there. You talk about it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Whilst David tries to track Matthew down,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21it looks like Kate has finally found that piece of Lalique for the boys.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- It's quite pretty though. - 120 though.- Is it signed? - I don't think so.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- Yes, there is a little signature just there on the top.- Oh, yes.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32So it is signed at the top there. I can't really read it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Let's have a look. Yes. So it is signed but, yes, it is a late piece.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Hi, Matthew. What do you think would be the best on that?
0:24:40 > 0:24:41We could do 75 on that one.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- That's all right.- I mean, do you like it?- I quite like it.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- What do you think?- I think it's quite a pretty piece.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51It's almost like a paperweight, really.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55It's meant to be a weighty object. It's meant to be of quality.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Date wise, it is late 20th century, I would say.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Couldn't do just a little bit more, Matthew? £65 and it's...?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- OK, we'll say 65. - Yes? Fantastic. Thank you so much.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11That's your last piece, boys, with five minutes to spare as well.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Well done.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Matthew's a busy boy today.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19He's now on the phone brokering a deal for our Blues.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22As it's you, David, she said she'd do 75.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- That sounds absolutely brilliant. - Have we done a deal?- I think...
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- I think that seems... - I think that's a very good deal.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- Yeah, I think that's reasonable. - And Matthew, congratulations.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- You deserve the title of Mega Deal! - Thank you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37Those 60 minutes are up.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- That's us done.- Mm-hm. - Come on.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- And a high-five. Your students will be proud.- Absolutely.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50They poured over this little vinaigrette bottle
0:25:50 > 0:25:51and eventually did a deal at £50.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Johnny got his wish and bagged his teapot for £10.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03And finally, Kate's Lalique bird was purchased for £65.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Did you buy what you set out to buy, by and large?- Yes, we did, yes.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- Oh, good, that's lovely! How much did you spend?- We spent £125.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- I would like £175 of leftover lolly, please.- There we are.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- Thank you very much. That's a wodge, isn't it? You don't like passing that over.- No, no.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- Which is your favourite piece? - My favourite is the teapot.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Do you agree with that?- No, I actually like the Lalique sparrow.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26You like the Lalique sparrow. Is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28I think the teapot will bring the biggest profit.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Do you think the teapot's going to bring the biggest profit? - Fingers crossed.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Well, this is exciting, isn't it? Over to you, then, Bliss.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38The boys have been very measured in their purchases
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- so I'm going to have a bit of fun! - Oh, good. Stand by.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Anyway, right now though, let's check out what the Blue team bought.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49They were all tickled pink by the 1970s lounge chair.
0:26:49 > 0:26:50£120 paid.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55The second buy was the Arts and Crafts kettle and stand.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57They spent £25.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02The last item was the Oriental incense burner. £75 paid.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Well, Theresa, Buff, that was good, wasn't it?- That was really good.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- Really good fun.- You were highly charged, as they say.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Now, Theresa, which is your favourite piece?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Absolutely the pink, twirly chair. - OK, lovely. Good.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- And do you agree with that? - Absolutely. I think it's brilliant.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- OK, and which bit's going to bring the biggest profit? - The pink twirly chair.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- The pink twirly chair.- Absolutely. - They're obsessed, aren't they? - We love it.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- How much did you spend in total? - We spent £220.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33- Now that is a better do all round. - We wanted to spend lots.- Exactly!
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Get in there and be gutsy. Be brave. - We wanted to spend all of it.
0:27:36 > 0:27:41He who dares wins, you know. OK, £220. £80 of leftover lolly, please.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Eh, voila.- Merci. Look at that. Not so much for you now.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- Not so much at all.- But...
0:27:47 > 0:27:51I'm going to go for something exactly the opposite
0:27:51 > 0:27:53to the pink twirly '70s chair.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Well, you'd better leg it
0:27:55 > 0:27:59because we find ourselves very shortly approaching the auction.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It's time to catch up with today's auctioneer.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Well, how lovely is this?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09We find ourselves as if by magic in Bedford
0:28:09 > 0:28:12at Peacock's Auctioneers with Lindsay Vintiner.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- How very nice to see you. - Good morning, Tim. Lovely to see you.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Now, the Reds have got the vinegar and oil combo with silver mounts
0:28:19 > 0:28:23that I think have been rubbed with steel of some sort, haven't they?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Yes. To within an inch of their lives, sadly.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Such a shame because it's such a nice idea to be able to tip your oil and vinegar that way.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33- It's quite romantic in a way, isn't it?- Oh, do you think so?- I do.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- They're entwined, aren't they?- I see, yes. Do you rate them value-wise?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- Mm...- Not terribly?- Not terribly, no. They're a nice object, aren't they?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- So the estimate is?- 30-40 for those.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48They paid £50, so they paid too much for that for defo.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Then we've got the Midwinters blue and white teapot. £10 paid for that.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57- Will it make £10?- I hope so. Yes. It's a stylish shape, isn't it?
0:28:57 > 0:29:00- Transfer printed blue and white. - 1930s.- 1930s.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03£10 it might just make so no worries there.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06And then we've got the Lalique. How do you rate that?
0:29:06 > 0:29:111970s Lalique I suppose, certainly post '45, after Rene died.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- Hopefully, we should make £30-£50 on it.- £65 paid.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- So overall, I think, they're not going to flutter off to much of a profit.- No.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24In fact, they may need their bonus buy so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Do you have any idea what Kate's bought?- Absolutely not.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Not the foggiest? OK, well, it looks rectangular to me.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35And I do know she had £175, which is a fair old wodge.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37So, Kate, what did you buy?
0:29:37 > 0:29:42- Something that particularly boys like.- OK.- It's a Hornby train set.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45This is a really nice electric example.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49If I take the lid off, there it is.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54You've got these lovely cast metal locomotives which came in later,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56as opposed to the pressed metal ones.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59And you may notice that it's got a three rail track.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Now, this really helps us to date it
0:30:01 > 0:30:05because the three rail changed back to a two rail in 1959.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- So I would say this is very late '50s in date before that change.- OK.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12If I pass you over the box, I'll keep the lid.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15So how much did you spend on it?
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- I spent 55.- OK.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20How much do you think it'll go for?
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Well, I think that's a pretty conservative price actually.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27It's a nice set in good condition so I would put £50-£60 on it
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- and hope for a little bit of profit. - OK.- You don't look very excited.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- I don't know.- I'm quite disappointed.- I'm not sure...
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Johnny, did you have a train set when you were a nipper?
0:30:37 > 0:30:39- I never had a train set, no. - Did you not?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43It's a generational thing this clearly, Kate. But there we go.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45You never know, it could be full steam ahead.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Right now though, let's check out what the auctioneer thinks about Kate's train set.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Now, Lindsey, a bit before your time this.- It is I'm afraid!
0:30:55 > 0:30:56Fantastic manufacturer.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Dublo were one of their best models really, I think,
0:30:59 > 0:31:01in terms of quality and precision.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04The engine's slightly play worn here.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07So it's the cast metal ones that do better than the later plastic?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11They appear to and they even do better in the tin plate models.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14What's it worth, Kate's bonus buy?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- 40-50?- £55 paid.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- So, it's about right, isn't it?- Yes. - OK, now, that's it for the Reds.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Next, the Blues and they start out with this
0:31:25 > 0:31:29fuchsia upholstered chair to go with your nails.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Indeed, yes. I specifically painted my nails to match this chair this morning.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I could tell that, Lindsey, and very, very chic it is too!
0:31:36 > 0:31:39And your waistcoat matches too, I'm pleased to say.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43If I sat on it you'd lose me and I'd become all chair!
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Anyway, was it made yesterday do you think?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48I don't think so because you've got a four star base on it
0:31:48 > 0:31:50which you're not allowed to produce today.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54You have to have a five star base for safety and security purposes.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- So I think it might be '70s, I suppose.- OK.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02But it's what people are buying today here. The retro market's fantastic.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05OK. Well, that's exciting, isn't it? How much do you think it'll do?
0:32:05 > 0:32:10- 60-100?- OK. Well, at £60 it's exactly half what was paid for it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12£120.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14We go from the sublime to the ridiculous in a way
0:32:14 > 0:32:19because this very grubby copper and wrought iron spirit stand
0:32:19 > 0:32:22is the antithesis of the chair, isn't it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24You can't believe it's come from the same place really.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I don't think they were having a good day when they bought this, sadly.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- It doesn't do a lot for me, I'm afraid.- No, it's all down to the price point really.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34- It needs a bit of TLC. - It certainly does.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- So as a doer-upper, because it needs restoration, what's it worth?- 30-50?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41OK, £25 paid. So they paid the right price.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44If you get 30-50, they'll be jumping for joy.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Now, oinking ourselves onto the Chinese bandwagon,
0:32:47 > 0:32:52we've got this very dull, very crudely cast.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- It's either 12th century or it's 12 minutes old.- That's true, yes.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58One or the other.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I don't think it's bronze, it's some sort of base metal.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's not particularly well manufactured
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- and I think we might struggle with it, I'm afraid.- Really?
0:33:07 > 0:33:11- At what price?- 40-60?- That's not too bad. £75 they paid.- OK.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13So they may not need the bonus buy
0:33:13 > 0:33:16but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20Well, girls, you gave David Harper £80.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- David, what did you spend it on? - OK, do you like exotic men, you two?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Erm, let's see!- We'll wait and see!
0:33:26 > 0:33:29OK. That's an exotic man for you.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Heavens!- Hello!- What is he? - He's a Moorish fellow.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Isn't he wonderful?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Is he heavy?- Have a feel.- He's not. - No, no, it's wood. Hand carved wood.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Beech or maybe a fruit wood. - Absolutely beautiful.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Isn't he fantastic? 19th century.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Brackets on the back so he hangs on the wall.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- Any idea what he was made for? - Pipes?- Pipes. Exactly.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- But isn't it a good piece of carving? - Yeah.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- Where do you think it comes from? - When I first saw it I thought it was a German carving,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59but I think it's probably a North African thing.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02He's certainly a pipe rack and he's hand carved, and he's brilliant.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- How much did you pay for it?- I think it was really cheap. I paid £70.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I've seen similar things make 150.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I think his estimate should be 80-120,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13the old auctioneers favourite.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- Good choice.- Thank you.- Very nicely carved that.- Very nice choice.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- OK.- Stop touching his muscles!
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- But I like it!- Well, if they like it, somebody else will like it.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Anyway, fair enough, got all your gen.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32For the audience at home let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:32 > 0:34:35about Dave's muscles, I mean Dave's pipe rack.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- Now, Lindsey, it's a bit different. - Right, thank you, Tim.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Broken arm, I think, is his big problem, isn't it?
0:34:43 > 0:34:48Yes, that's a bit of an issue I'm afraid. It's nicely carved though.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52It is pretty much a one-off. I bet it's Black Forest.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I bet it comes from Germany or Switzerland as part of that
0:34:55 > 0:34:59- tourist market stuff.- It's a bit of fun, isn't it?- So, how much?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- 30-40.- Right. £70 paid by David Harper.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05At the end of the day it's all going to be down to you, Lindsey.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Are you feeling the pressure?- I will try my very hardest for you all.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Thank you very much.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Time for you to rally the room and rise to the rostrum, Lindsay.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Now, first up is your vinegar and oil bottle dispenser.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You paid £50 for that. She has estimated £30-£40.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I think you might be lucky if you turn a profit on it,
0:35:27 > 0:35:28but I don't think you'll lose much either.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Here it comes.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34The silver mounted twin bottle vinegar or oil dispenser.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37£30 for this then. 20 to begin.
0:35:37 > 0:35:3920 are we? Must be 10.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Oh, come on.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46- 10 is bid. 12 behind. 14.- Come on!
0:35:46 > 0:35:49At 18. £20, 22.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5124, 26, 28.
0:35:51 > 0:35:58- That's better! Keep going. - The gentleman's bid at 32.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0334, 36, 38, 40.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- Getting there.- Wicked!- £45.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1445 is a jolly good price. Minus £5. That's very good.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18Here comes Midwinter's. You'll make a fiver on this, you mark my words.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Fantastically stylish teapot, this.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- 10? Brilliant, thank you sir. - Brilliant, go on.- At £10.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29A bid at 12, 14, 16,
0:36:29 > 0:36:3418, 20, 22, 24.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Here we go. At just £24?
0:36:38 > 0:36:44£24 is plus 14. Overall, you're plus 9. Good.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47I've got to go with the commission here at just £30 for this lot.
0:36:47 > 0:36:5532, 34 on commission. 36, 38, 40, 45, 50, 55.
0:36:55 > 0:36:5760, 65.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00At 65. 70, 75.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06At £75 now, the bid is on commission. Down at 75.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11£75 is plus £10, which is plus the 9 which is plus £19.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Very good, chaps. What are you going to do about the train set?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17Are you going to take home the money or go with the set?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Shall we have a go? I think we should have a go.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Yes, we'll go for it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- Give it a go. - You have got money in the bank.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Exactly, we'll go for it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28The decision is made, here comes the train set.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31The Hornby Dublo train set there, a good set.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Must be £50 for this surely? 50? 30?
0:37:35 > 0:37:37All you men young at heart? 30?
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Oh dear.- Come on, guys. 20? 20 bid, thank you sir.
0:37:41 > 0:37:4422 over here.
0:37:44 > 0:37:4724, 26, 28, 30?
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- At 32 now. 34.- Keep pushing.
0:37:51 > 0:37:5636, 38, 40, 45.
0:37:56 > 0:38:0145 now, 50. You'll sneak it past the wife!
0:38:01 > 0:38:07At 50. At £50 only.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12Bad luck! £50.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Minus £5, you're plus £14.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Don't say a word to the Blues because it could be a winning score.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- Now, kids, do you know how the Reds got on?- No, they were smiling.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37That could be a fake smile. That's the other thing.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Anyway, things are hotting up and first up is the bucket chair
0:38:41 > 0:38:43and here it comes.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45A brilliant chair, this. 100?
0:38:45 > 0:38:4850 for the pink chair? 30?
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Oh dear.- 30 is bid online, thank you.
0:38:52 > 0:38:5532 in the room now. At £32.
0:38:55 > 0:39:0134 online. 36, 38, 40.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03- TIM:- £40!
0:39:03 > 0:39:0850, 55, 60, 65, 70. At £75.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- Come on! - At £75.
0:39:15 > 0:39:21She sold it for £75. 75 is a gift. That is minus £45.
0:39:21 > 0:39:22I could burst into tears, girls.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26We have the arts and crafts spirit kettle and stand there.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30£20 start me. 20? 10 to get on then.
0:39:30 > 0:39:3210 bid, thank you sir.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- This is depressing, isn't it? - A gentleman's bid here now, £10.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- 12 online. 12, 14.- Come on!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Selling at just £14.
0:39:42 > 0:39:4616, 18, 20, we have a new bidder.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51£20. 22 online. 24.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55At £24 in the room.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58At £24.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01£24 is minus £1. It's minus 46.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03- That's not fair.- It isn't, is it?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05It certainly isn't.
0:40:05 > 0:40:11We have the next item. 30 are we? 20 anyone?
0:40:11 > 0:40:1420 is bid online, thank you.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18At £20. 22, 24, 26. Two bidders here now.
0:40:19 > 0:40:26- Come on!- At £28 in the room. - Oh dear!- Come on!
0:40:26 > 0:40:29The bidder's in the room at just £28.
0:40:29 > 0:40:3328 is two off 30.
0:40:33 > 0:40:3730, 40, 50, 60, 70. That is £45.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42Minus 47. 47 and 46 is...
0:40:42 > 0:40:4493, isn't it?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Minus 93. Minus £93.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50It's a good job we don't have to pay you back, isn't it?
0:40:50 > 0:40:53Exactly, this could get expensive for you two!
0:40:54 > 0:40:57- What are you going to do about our friend?- We've got to go for it.
0:40:57 > 0:41:02- We have nothing to lose.- It makes no difference if you lose any more.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05It could go for a vast amount and we could get some money back.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08Exactly, that's the way to think about it.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Tracy, you're happy with that?
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- Absolutely.- OK, fine, here comes the pipe rack.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16A Black Forest carving, £30 for this surely?
0:41:16 > 0:41:18£30 bid, thank you.
0:41:18 > 0:41:2132, 34, 36, 38.
0:41:21 > 0:41:2340, 45, 50, 55.
0:41:23 > 0:41:2660, 65, 70, 75.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28At £75.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Come on!
0:41:31 > 0:41:32£75, all done.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35At just £75.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Just there.- Well done, you!
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- That is plus £5, you got your profit.- A bit of profit.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46I had a funny feeling it was going to be rather better.
0:41:46 > 0:41:52We got to 70, 75 and it could have taken us to 125, I felt that.
0:41:52 > 0:41:58So £5. You are minus £88.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Say that quite quickly and it's not too bad, is it?
0:42:01 > 0:42:04It could be a winning score, so not a word to the Reds.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Well, all things come around, as they say, that go around.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17- Have you had a nice time?- Yes. - Has it been good fun?- Great.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- You haven't been chatting?- No. - So this is a complete surprise?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22- It really is.- My reveal now?
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- The runners-up today, I'm afraid by a bit of a chalk are the Blues.- Oh!
0:42:27 > 0:42:32In fact, it's quite a chalk, it's minus £88 actually.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Which is pretty dreadful.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36You did go with the bonus buy which was lovely,
0:42:36 > 0:42:39our Moorish gent, that made a small profit,
0:42:39 > 0:42:43but apart from that, it was a disaster.
