0:00:04 > 0:00:08Lincolnshire is the second largest county in England
0:00:08 > 0:00:12and it borders no less than eight other counties.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17And its border with Northamptonshire is only 19 metres long.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21Ha! How about that for an amazing pub quiz fact?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23And armed with that knowledge,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:56It's not just county borders that are short in these parts,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59but also the team's time -
0:00:59 > 0:01:03because they only have 60 minutes to find three items,
0:01:03 > 0:01:04here at Swinderby,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06to take away and sell at auction.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Will it be enough time or money?
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Let's find out.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13On today's show...
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- The Reds are sending their expert packing.- I'm not buying a suitcase.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I'm a baggage handler by trade. - Oh, you are a baggage handler!
0:01:19 > 0:01:20Oh, my goodness...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23While the Blues are hitting all the right notes...
0:01:23 > 0:01:25LUCY PLAYS PIANO
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- There you go.- Oh, come on!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31But which team will pack the biggest punch?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Today's show brings together two couples -
0:01:35 > 0:01:40one married, the other in the first flush of romance.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Reds, we have Sean and Donna.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46And for the Blues, we have Matt and Lucy. Hello, everyone!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48ALL: Hello!
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Now Sean, you're clearly an uber-romantic type, yes?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Clearly.- So tell us about how you first got hitched.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Er, well, after years of Donna trying to force me into it,
0:02:00 > 0:02:01I eventually lost a bet.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Basically, the old kickboxing club I used to train at...
0:02:04 > 0:02:07The sensei was all drunk one night and he was like,
0:02:07 > 0:02:08"Why don't you two get married?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I was like, "If you get ordained, we'll get married".
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Two weeks later, I go back down the club and he's got a certificate.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Ten years of trying and you lose a bet(!)
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- That's all it took, a drunken bet.- That is terri...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20That's a terrible thing to own up to.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22LAUGHTER
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Now, kickboxing is a large part of your life?
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- We took it up together, didn't we?- Yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29Probably five or six years ago and we just sort of never stopped since.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Yeah.- Can you show us some moves? Let's just see, give us a kick.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- So how does it work, this kickboxing?- You just kick.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Oh, you just... So just... a move like that, is it?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- That was perfect, yeah.- Was it? Anyway, so you're a housewife...
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- Yeah...- You're a mother...- Yup...
0:02:41 > 0:02:45And also, you're into teaching nippers kickboxing?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Yep.- What sort of exercises would these children typically do, then?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Run round as much as possible, to wear them out - and then hopefully,
0:02:52 > 0:02:56I get five minutes out of them where they listen, but it is brilliant.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Very rewarding.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, you're clearly frightfully good
0:02:59 > 0:03:01at this hand-to-hand combat business.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03What's your antiques knowledge like?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Nil.- Nil?- Not a lot.- Nothing.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- But we're good at winging it, so... - Well, there you go.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You'll do terribly well on Bargain Hunt if you don't know
0:03:09 > 0:03:12anything about antiques. But you're competitive?
0:03:12 > 0:03:13- Yup.- Yes.- Don't like to lose.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15And will you get on together, do you think?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Yeah, well, we might bicker and then she'll decide that I'm right.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19LAUGHTER
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Yes, OK. Super.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Now, Matt, it says here that in a former life, you were a rock star.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Apparently so, yeah. I used to be in a band called Skint And Demoralised.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31We did all right - signed to a major label, toured the UK,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- went to Europe a few times...- Gosh. - ..a bit of TV and radio.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36You made it, then?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Nearly.- Yeah?- Made it fairly far.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40What sort of things did you play?
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Alternative indie sort of like... Kind of poppy, but guitar-based.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- And then you got the retro shop in Wakefield?- That's right, yes.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Vintage clothing, mainly,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51but records and comics and stuff like that as well.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So we've got a closet dealer here, do you realise that?
0:03:54 > 0:03:55LAUGHTER
0:03:55 > 0:03:57This is very, very interesting..
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Now, Lucy - what's your involvement with music?
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I'm studying a music degree at the minute.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I play the violin in various orchestras, as you do,
0:04:04 > 0:04:06if you're at university.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm mainly a composer, really, rather than a performer.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12So I'm looking to compose music for film and TV.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16So what does this term "Loose Lightning" mean?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I play roller derby.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Loose Lightning is my skate name.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21And what are your defensive moves?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24What you do to stop somebody knocking you over?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26There are certain things you are and aren't allowed to do.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29You can't just push somebody over or punch them in the face or...
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Oh, that's handy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34There are legal blocking zones and there are certain parts of your
0:04:34 > 0:04:38body that you can and can't use and things like that, to keep it safe.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39Well, I'm glad to hear that.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So what are you going to adopt in your strategy today, to win?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Will you be going for kind of Scandi '60s, do you think?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Yeah, '60s would be great.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49I know industrial is quite big at the moment, so...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Yeah, industrial's great. Lights, anything like that.- Yeah.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Yeah, no, great. Now, here we go then. There's your £300.- Thank you.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57The money moment. You know the rules.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Your experts await and off you go -
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and very, very, very good luck!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Now, let's meet today's experts.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Kicking up a storm for the Reds, it's...
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Putting the Blues in the frame though, it's...
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Sean, Donna, what are you looking for today?
0:05:19 > 0:05:20Um...
0:05:20 > 0:05:21We've not got anything in mind.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Are we going to have a bit of a vintage-fest then, Lucy?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25If we see something, yeah.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- Winning's the main... That's important.- We don't like losing.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Right, no pressure then
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Are we raring to go? - Yeah, definitely.- Absolutely.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36And you know you've only got 60 minutes and that's it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I know, better crack on. - That's right, we'll use them wisely.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Teams, your 60 minutes has started now.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Let's spring into action!
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Three, two, one - let's go!
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Come on, let's go!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Now, we're going into the sun here, guys,
0:05:50 > 0:05:51which is probably not the best idea.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Don't worry, David, so are the Reds.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Start down this way?- Yep, come on.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I'm not going to argue with kickboxers.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03They're quite cool, ain't they?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- They're an interesting pair of chairs.- Aren't they?
0:06:05 > 0:06:09They're quite modern, but they're really very stylish, aren't they?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- What do you think, Sean?- I like them, I like the design.- Yeah?- Er, yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14- It's quite...- they're quite bulky,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- they're good-looking with it, aren't they, though?- They are, yeah.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Like your husband, really.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- LAUGHTER - Oh, cheeky!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24I bet they're quite pricey though, surely, for that sort of...
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- 900.- 900? Ooh, now, that's...
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Bit out of budget.- Thank you. - Thanks anyway.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- We've got good taste though, obviously.- Yeah, we have.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Good start.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Nothing could cushion that blow, Reds.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Moving on...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Now, it's full steam ahead for our young Blues.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- What have we seen, you two?- Well, the Flying Scotsman.- How about this?
0:06:44 > 0:06:45Oh, hello. OK.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Because I know the Flying Scotsman is the name of a train
0:06:48 > 0:06:50and I know that a lot of people are big fans of trains.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51- They are.- Big industry.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53So true.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The Flying Scotsman, which ran between London and Edinburgh,
0:06:56 > 0:06:59was the first locomotive to hit 100mph,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01back in 1934.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Pick it up, Lucy. Let's see how heavy it is.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07- It is quite heavy.- OK, come here. Let's have a look.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10OK. I would bet you £100 that's never been on the Flying Scotsman.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- No.- OK.- But it's funky.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14It is quite funky. It'd look quite good...
0:07:14 > 0:07:16You could fit it in your house -
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- If you wanted to, obviously.- Yeah, if you really wanted to, yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- What kind of house do you live in? - Er...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23A trainspotter's house?
0:07:23 > 0:07:24It's my big secret.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28No, it just caught my eye because it's...quite cool.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30But it's probably... If it's not the real thing,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32then it's not going to be too valuable, is it?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- We could see how much it is.- Lucy, I was waiting for someone to say that.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Do you want to go and find out? Go and ask the lovely lady.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39She's actually coming. Hello.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- You want to know how much it is, don't you?- Yeah, please.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- We want to know how cheap it is. - Ho-ho!
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- 45.- 45?- Along with the little train.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Along with the original Flying Scotsman!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51LAUGHTER
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- That's the one. - Would you take 30 for it?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55SHARP INTAKE OF BREATH
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Hang on, hang on, she's...she's...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I like this, because...
0:08:00 > 0:08:01Let me just warn you here, Lucy.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You've just said we'd take 30 for this.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07If this lovely lady says "yes", that's it - you've done the deal.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Yeah.- I quite like it though, do you like it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- I do like it.- Would you have it for 30?- Well, yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Would you take 30?- Go on.- Go on.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- 30, go on, then.- Yay! - You've done it, Lucy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Shake the lady's hand. OK, good.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- There you go, cheers.- My gosh, they don't muck about, these two, do they?
0:08:22 > 0:08:23LAUGHTER
0:08:23 > 0:08:25They certainly don't, David.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28That's one item in the bag, in the first five minutes of the shop.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Let's hope they don't get derailed further down the line.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Now, those Reds have spotted something.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37What about the candelabra? I was just looking at that.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- Silver-plated, mid-19th century, do you reckon?- Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And it's old Sheffield plate,
0:08:43 > 0:08:46which is before electroplated nickel silver.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Have you heard of EPNS?- Yeah.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51She hasn't. She's made that up.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Now, that's electroplated nickel silver,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57which is a method of attaching the silver onto, usually, a copper base.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- You can see here, the copper's coming through, can't you?- Yeah.- OK.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03And there are two schools of thought -
0:09:03 > 0:09:06some people think it's best to replate the item,
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- but then it looks new. - No, yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10And other people think it's better to leave it as it is.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- See, I'm one of them.- And so am I, you can have the copper through.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Now, you see that makes a really stunning centrepiece, doesn't it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I do like that, yeah. - It's really elaborate, isn't it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- What's the price on it?- - 80.- 80?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That is all the money.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It wants to be a lot less than that, really.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30All the money? OK, what's your rock bottom price you can do?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- It cost me 60. I'll split it with you for 70.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- It sounds pricey, but if you really like it...- You think it's pricey?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Could you do 60 quid on it?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- If it helps you to win, go on, then. Yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Yeah?- Yeah?- £60?- Yeah. Cool.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Cheers, mate.- - Thank you. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Excellent. Ten minutes in... - First one...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- First buy in the bag.- Happy with it. - Easy, this is.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Easy? Come on, we've got two more to get!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Let's go. Thank you, mate. - Thank you.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Well done, Reds.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Now, keep that fire burning, eh?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- Cruising, we're cruising.- Cruising.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Lucy, I've just spotted something.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Let me just double-check on something. You are a music student?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Yes.- You're highly talented?
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Er...meh.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Well, this is your moment...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Is it?- ..In the spotlight.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Is Chopsticks OK?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20LAUGHTER
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- OUT OF TUNE NOTES - Oh, that's terrible.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24What, you or the piano?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, both!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29LUCY PLAYS THE PIANO
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- There you go.- Oh come on!
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Roll over Beethoven, eh?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36Lucy's on the loose.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- Are you any good at this? - Unfortunately not.- Let's move on.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41MUSIC: Thriller by Michael Jackson
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Well, let's leave this pair of musical virtuosos
0:10:45 > 0:10:48while we drop in on our Reds, who've found something grizzly.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50I do like that.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52See, our kickboxing club, he's known as "Bear"
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- and I'm "Donna Bear", or "Mrs Bear".- Yes, right.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57So it's quite relevant, really and...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59That could be sort of "Baby Bear"?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Yeah.- Has it got a price on it?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02It's got 135.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Do you know what it's for? - I think it's for walking sticks.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09It is, it's a stick stand, yeah.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10You might need a walking stick one day
0:11:10 > 0:11:12with all that kick boxing, Reds.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- It looks a bit odd to me.- Yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16You know, the little bit to put the sticks in is quite small.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18But I don't think odd is a bad thing, is it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:21No, odd is not a bad thing - I've got by for years on being odd!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I think this lot have lost their BEARING on reality.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I think you're going to be pushed
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- to get someone to give you £100 for that, even.- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's go and have a look for some more bears.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34We'll keep going and then you can come back
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- and you can always make a cheeky offer, can't you?- Yeah.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Brilliant.- Says me, hiding behind you two!
0:11:41 > 0:11:42Hmm, that was a lucky escape.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's back to the wild for these three bears.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Now, those Blues are bright sparks -
0:11:48 > 0:11:50but have they got any bright ideas?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Are you drawn to them, Matt?
0:11:53 > 0:11:54I've seen things like this go -
0:11:54 > 0:11:56I think they've got a good look to them.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58The industrial look's very popular at the moment, so...
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I guess, obviously, it depends how old they are
0:12:00 > 0:12:03and how functional they are - whether you renovated them
0:12:03 > 0:12:05and use them as lights, or just add them purely as decoration.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08That's the thing - you'd have to renovate them or make them
0:12:08 > 0:12:10into something, so I don't know if on their own, unrenovated,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- they would actually fetch that much. - What do we reckon on age?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16Cos they could be anything from... I don't know, '60s to '80s?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I think you're absolutely bang on.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You see, this is where the vintage expert comes in.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I'm loving this, I'm loving it!
0:12:22 > 0:12:24They are absolutely bang on trend, you're right.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- You've got this industrial vintage chic.- Yeah.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I think they're the kind of things
0:12:28 > 0:12:30that would probably go into the trade,
0:12:30 > 0:12:31as opposed to a private house.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34And then they'd probably be sold in pairs.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37That's what I was thinking, somebody needs to refurbish them, don't they?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Oh, yeah. An expert.- I think having six though... As I say...
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Because you say they'd be sold in pairs,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44so somebody can see quite a big... There's a bit of length in them.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Do you know what we're doing wrong here?- Yes.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Not asking how much they are?- Again, yes! You're such a bad influence!
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I know, I'm sorry.- We should know how... They're probably five grand!
0:12:52 > 0:12:55How much... Are they five pounds?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57No, darling. They're £60 each.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- 60 each, ooh.- OK, OK.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02That's given them something to think about.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- It is a bit of a niche purchase. - Mmm, yeah.- It's a bit of a risk,
0:13:05 > 0:13:08but I think that's the sort of thing we need to be doing.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10What were you thinking, price-wise?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I was going to cheekily ask 90 for two.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Pound notes, £90.- Pound notes - you've got to say yes to that.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17OK. Absolutely, 100%, no question about it.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21And let there be light -
0:13:21 > 0:13:23the Blues have bagged their second item.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Have they turned you on, baby?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I'm loving the vintage theme.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28I was hoping for it, but you know,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31on this show, you can make all the best plans in the world
0:13:31 > 0:13:34and the moment you hit the pitch, it all goes wrong.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37But I was hoping for vintage stuff and we're getting it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38And it's good.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41The Reds have found something right up their street.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- Boxing gloves, Donna? - Oh, look at them!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I was just thinking of softening the blow to your nose...
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- They're in better condition than mine!- Are they?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52And I can see a theme developing with those Blues.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54I don't think it's as...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- I don't think it's as vintage... - ..as old as maybe I thought it was.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Yeah.- Maybe not.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04OK, put that down.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06But let's look on the bright side,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09because I found something those Blues are sure to light up over.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12One of the hottest collectables
0:14:12 > 0:14:15out there in the marketplace today
0:14:15 > 0:14:18are small, novelty pieces of silver.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20And the wackier the bit of silver,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23the more the collectors like it.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26So what do you think about this little jobbie?
0:14:26 > 0:14:30It looks exactly like an old-fashioned portable oil lamp,
0:14:30 > 0:14:31doesn't it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34The idea being that inside the cylinder
0:14:34 > 0:14:37would be an oil lamp or a candle
0:14:37 > 0:14:40and this frilly bit on the top is a vent,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42to take away the fumes
0:14:42 > 0:14:44and let more oxygen inside.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47And the light would shine through this prism on the front,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50magnifying the oil or candlepower.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Except that this thing happens to be made of solid silver.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And imagine my amazement
0:14:58 > 0:15:00when I came to unscrew the bottom
0:15:00 > 0:15:03on the dealer's stall up the way there,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07to discover that it never had an oil lamp interior
0:15:07 > 0:15:09or a candle to illuminate it,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11because when this was made,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14it was actually made to hold a battery.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Dry cell batteries
0:15:16 > 0:15:20had just come into portable use
0:15:20 > 0:15:23and that's what goes in the middle of the cylinder.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25This whole frilly bit on the top,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29to let out fumes and draw in oxygen,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31is just for show.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33The maker of this object
0:15:33 > 0:15:35deliberately tried to make something that looked like
0:15:35 > 0:15:37an old-fashioned oil lamp,
0:15:37 > 0:15:40but fitted it up with hi-tech electricity.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Isn't that cute?
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Well, I think it's cute
0:15:44 > 0:15:47and of course, as a silver novelty,
0:15:47 > 0:15:49there ain't that many of these around.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51And if you collect novelty silver
0:15:51 > 0:15:55and you come across something which is rare, like this torch,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58then you'll pay a lot of money for it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00There are one or two condition issues -
0:16:00 > 0:16:03the frilly top here has been bashed in one or two places,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05but that's easy to fix.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The silver's been rubbed on the top of the cone
0:16:08 > 0:16:10and that can be fixed, but apart from that,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12it's in pretty brilliant condition
0:16:12 > 0:16:14for something that is, after all,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16over 100 years old.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18What's it worth?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Well, you could buy it off a stand up there,
0:16:22 > 0:16:24if you were lucky, for £200.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26And once it's tickled up,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I fancy the thing would be worth nearer 750.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32So, as they say...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Shine a light, mate.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Right, teams - there's still a long way to go,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40but it looks like Sean's not up for a busman's holiday.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- I'm not buying a suitcase. - Aw, are you not buying a suitcase?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- I'm a baggage handler by trade. - Oh, you are a baggage handler!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Oh, my goodness!- That's the last thing I ever want to buy.- Oh, is it?
0:16:49 > 0:16:53If the lads at work see me buying a suitcase,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55they would absolutely torture me for months.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- That would be awful, wouldn't it? - Absolutely torture me.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- I'm starting to sweat, just looking at it.- Oh, Sean!
0:16:59 > 0:17:01You don't want to give it a lift, just to...?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03No, no. I don't want to touch it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05And they really would crucify you?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Oh, unbelievable. Well, they say how dodgy the bags are at work,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10do you know what I mean? So if I come here and picked a bag up...
0:17:10 > 0:17:12That trunk has sunk, Caroline. Just let it go, love.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- OK. We'd better move on then, quickly, haven't we?- Yeah.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think that's a "no", don't you?
0:17:17 > 0:17:18Sean's putting his foot down,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21but Matt's hoping to kick a goal for the Blues.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22What are you getting excited about?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It's a Leeds United football programme, but I don't think
0:17:25 > 0:17:28it'd fetch much at auction, because everybody hates Leeds United.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- Well, obviously, you don't. - No, I don't. But the problem is...
0:17:31 > 0:17:32I mean, I absolutely love them,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35but they're probably only worth a few quid each, you know what I mean?
0:17:35 > 0:17:381968. That's the year they won their first cup.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I've got to say, Matt, I think you're absolutely positively riveting.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Well... I've made you love...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Do you want to come to the Leeds game next week?- No.- No?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- OK. It's probably a good thing. - Yeah, OK. Goodbye.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- That's told him, then. - Never mind, eh?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Come on, Reds. You still need a second item.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Time's a-ticking!
0:17:56 > 0:17:57There's a big clock.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Ooh - you read my mind.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Is that marble?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Yeah, marble pillars, slate at the top...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Not everybody's cup of tea, the dark.- No.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Late Victorian, French...
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- It's got a nice detail on it. - It has, yeah, with the gilding.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- It's a nicer model than a lot.- Yeah.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- What sort of price is it?- 180.- 180.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23What would be your best price?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- 140.- 140?- And is it working?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Perfect working, yeah.- Yeah?
0:18:28 > 0:18:29Go on, Caroline. Lead us.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33I think I'm going to lead from the front and say...
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- No, it needs to be 130, yeah... - No, just a little bit less, yeah.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- Sorry, sir.- 130, then. Go on.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Do you want it at 130?- Shall we?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Yes, go on, then.- Yeah, shall we? - 130?- OK, yeah. Thank you.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Thank you ever so much.- Thanks, pal. Cheers. Appreciate that.- Thank you.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Hey, that deal didn't take much time at all!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Now there's 20 minutes left on the clock.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Can the Blues make sweet music together?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57It won't even... Look.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59No, because there's no bow to it, for the tension.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- You need your bridge. - If I did that...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03LUCY LAUGHS
0:19:03 > 0:19:06They are determined to strike the right chord.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08OUT OF TUNE NOTE
0:19:08 > 0:19:09Oh.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12But will they ever tune in to the right channel?
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Right, guys - 18 minutes left.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Now, I can see you, Lucy, looking at that old radio.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I just think it's quite cool.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21It does look very cool.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Again, you probably wouldn't be able to use it...
0:19:24 > 0:19:27It might be dangerous, but it looks good as a decorative piece.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- But you know what you can do with these things?- You can fix them up.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32You can fix them up, but I tell you what would be easier -
0:19:32 > 0:19:35you buy yourself a really cracking digital radio
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and you put it inside.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- And you've got the front. - Job's a good one.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40I've seen it happen so many times.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Get some beeswax on that thing, a little bit of restoration...
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Look at the colours. Look at the colours - what's fashionable now?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Browns, beiges - it's odd, isn't it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Yeah, it's nice. Well, we'll see how much it is.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Do you want to? Shall we ask the fellow?- He's learning now, isn't he?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Hi there. Actually, well done! Yes, yes.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Hi there. How much is the radio there, please?
0:19:59 > 0:20:00Radio? £40.
0:20:00 > 0:20:0240 on that one, OK.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07While they take a closer look, the Reds are shaking things up a bit.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Oh, I like them.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13Now, are they silver?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Er, yeah, is that...?
0:20:17 > 0:20:18Let's have a look.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- You can see the silver mark round here.- Yeah.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- Early 1900s.- Yeah? So quite old, then?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Yeah, nice condition
0:20:26 > 0:20:29and this is the patent applied for,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31that will be the way of filling them.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34That would come off and you'd fill it from the bottom.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38They normally would come off at the top and you'd fill from the top,
0:20:38 > 0:20:42so they're nice and they're in the original box.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- A little bit of a bash here.- Yeah.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Silver's a very soft metal
0:20:50 > 0:20:53and it does easily bruise and bash.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56These two fighters are well used to a few bruises, Caroline.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58Would it be worth an ask?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Yes, you can ask.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Excuse me?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05How much have you got on your salt and pepper pots?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Do you want a real steal? - We do want a real steal, sir.
0:21:08 > 0:21:09Of course. Yeah, yeah, of course!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I'll do them at £50 a pair, there you are.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13£50 a pair?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- Would you do 35?- No.- 38?
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Yes.- Would you do 38?- Yes.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Caroline, it's up to you, you're the expert.- I think they need to be 35.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I think they need to be 35, but if you're happy to do...
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Would you do 36?- If I can help you win, 35.- Oh, brilliant!
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- That's... Oh, fantastic. I'm happy with 35.- She's good.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- You're happy, we're happy.- I'm happy. If the wife is happy, I'm happy.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Aw, thank you ever so much.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39These Reds certainly know how to keep their allies onside.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41That's your third item in the bag.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Wow, brilliant!- Easy.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46You said it would be easy and we've still got a bit of time left,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48so what do you want to do now?
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- Bacon butty?- Bacon butty.- Breakfast, yeah.- Come on, let's have it!
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Easy. This is the life.- Easy.- Easy.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Those Blues are still fine tuning.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Come on, there's only nine minutes left!
0:22:04 > 0:22:06See, even that looks great with, you know, all the cities on?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It just looks cool. If you cleaned that up a bit...
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- I must say, I'm liking that. - It's got to be '50s, it's very nice.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Yeah, it's '50s. It might even be a tad earlier, you know?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah, yeah, yeah, possibly.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19I don't know about 40.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Let's get back to asking about prices. Where is he?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23If we can do 25, job's a good one.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25If not, we'll leave it.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Well, you know what? I'm going to leave that to you. Hi there.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Um, we absolutely love the radio,
0:22:29 > 0:22:31but we've hardly got any money left
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and we wondered if you might take 25?
0:22:33 > 0:22:34I can't take 25 for it, I'm sorry.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- I can do £30 on it, that's the least I can do.- 30?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Helping you out with that. - Do you want it for 30?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45- Yes, you do.- I do. OK. - Lucy?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Third object bought. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Cheers. - Cheers. - Thank you, mate, cheers.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Right, then - time's up!
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Teams, rock on.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- We've got a sign, some lamps and something musical.- Brilliant.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- I think we've cracked it.- Perfect. - It's the dream team.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Well done, Blues. Now, let's remind ourselves how the Reds got on.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Hopefully, they won't get burnt with this early Victorian candelabrum,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11bought for £60.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15A late 19th-century French mantle clock chimed in at £130.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19And finally, an early 20th-century pair of silver pepperettes
0:23:19 > 0:23:21set them back £35.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Donna, Sean, that looked great fun.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27It was! I really enjoyed it.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28And you spent loads of money, right?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Er, yeah, we tried.- How much?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Er, 225.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34225 - £75 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Boss has got it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Thank you, Sean.- There you go.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- Now, Sean - tell me, which is your favourite piece?- I think the clock.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43The clock is your favourite piece? Do you agree with that, Donna?
0:23:43 > 0:23:47- Oh, yeah, definitely.- OK, fine. Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I think so, yeah.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- I really do think so.- Do you agree with that, Sean?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Yeah, there's a lot of clock for your money, I think, so...
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Well, I think you're excellent Bargain Hunters. Over you go, £75.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56How do you see it?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I've seen something that I think
0:23:58 > 0:24:00- is going to be just the ticket for these two.- Brilliant.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Enjoy a cup of tea now, because we're going to check out
0:24:03 > 0:24:06what the Blue Team bought, aren't we?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09A cast iron Flying Scotsman sign and model steam engine
0:24:09 > 0:24:12set them back £30.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15A pair of mid 20th-century Strand theatre lights
0:24:15 > 0:24:18illuminated their interest and cost them £90.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21An Art Deco walnut veneered radio,
0:24:21 > 0:24:25bought for a song at £30.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27- OK, team. Well, that was exciting, wasn't it?- Mm.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Now, Luce - tell me, which is your favourite object?
0:24:30 > 0:24:33We've got sort of a 1950s radiogram.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I quite like that, it's really nice.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37- Yes?- It's quite unusual, not really seen one like it.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39And do you go along with that?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41No, a pair of industrial spotlights I really enjoyed.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Same era, 1950s,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45looked like they were from a theatre or a big club or something.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- Were they Strand lights?- Yes, they were.- Well, how lovely is that?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Because they can be really hot.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52OK, super. We have some excitement.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54And how much did you spend in total?
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- 150.- 150.- £150? OK, fine.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- Who's got £150 of leftover lolly? - Me.- Very good.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- Now, David...- Oh, thank you very much.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- There you go, nice £150 for you.- Very good.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05What are you going to spend it on?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Well, I think I'm good to go with the same sort of theme.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10We're going to go for something a bit quirky, eccentric -
0:25:10 > 0:25:12nothing football-related!
0:25:12 > 0:25:13Well, good luck with that
0:25:13 > 0:25:17and meanwhile, why don't we now just shove off to the auction?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Well, here we are in Etwall, on the outskirts of Derby,
0:25:29 > 0:25:32at Hanson's auction rooms, with the main man, Charles Hanson.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- Charles, it's lovely to be here. - Tim, welcome.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Now, Sean and Donna are excited...- Yes?
0:25:36 > 0:25:40because their four branched candelabrum is shortly to appear.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44- Yes.- Now, it's not the most flavoursome thing to sell
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- at auction, is it - silverplate? - No, it's not, Tim.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49It's extravagant in the sense...
0:25:49 > 0:25:51It's quite ostentatious,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53but it's not good quality, in the sense that it's not silver
0:25:53 > 0:25:56and my guide price, Tim - between 30 and £40.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Really? That's a sound estimate, actually. They paid 60.- Right, so...
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- That could be a bit of a struggle. - Yes, it could be, Tim.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05- But it's not completely in the long grass, is it?- No.- No.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I was once told that black slate marble clocks
0:26:08 > 0:26:11are very, very difficult to sell, largely because of the colour black.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14They are a very heavy late Victorian lot.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17But of course, we mustn't forget, it's a good name - it's Mabel and Co.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20So it has got the name, it's in good condition,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23it's not chipped on the pediment.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- What's it worth?- Tim, with a huff and a puff,
0:26:26 > 0:26:28hopefully it will make between 60 and £90.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30OK, fine. They paid £130.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Oh, dear.- This is taking on a bit of a pattern.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Right. Now, the boxed pair of pepperettes.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39They're decorative, they are Birmingham 1915,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42the box is original, they're clean and tidy
0:26:42 > 0:26:44and I think they're quite neat.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45OK, what's your price?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Tim, we've been quite cautious - between 30 and £50.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- That's fair enough - £35 paid.- Good.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- So there is a ray of hope for Sean and Donna?- Absolutely.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57It's not all martial arts for them.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01This could have the ultimate kickback
0:27:01 > 0:27:03and they might get some profit out of that,
0:27:03 > 0:27:05but the rest of it looks a bit gloomy to me.
0:27:05 > 0:27:08And on that basis, I think they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10so let us go and have a look at it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13So, Donna, Sean -
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- this exciting, isn't it?- It is, yes.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18You spent a magnificent £225,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20leaving Caroline only £75 -
0:27:20 > 0:27:21and Caroline, what did you buy?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23- Well...- Can I guess?
0:27:23 > 0:27:25You're a baggage handler -
0:27:25 > 0:27:28if you can't guess, you're a bad baggage handler!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's a leather suitcase!
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I did say... I'm not touching it, I'm not touching it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- It's my day off today, so I'm not touching it.- Is it union rules?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39But I did say if I bought it,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41there'd be trouble to pay at work, didn't I?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43But I bought it, so is there still trouble?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It depends if it makes money or not, now.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48If I end up losing because of it, I'm never going to live it down.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It's 1950s leather, really good condition
0:27:51 > 0:27:53and the make is Watajoy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57And I thought, WHAT A JOY, to find that for you!
0:27:57 > 0:27:58How much did you pay for it?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Ah. £35.- £35.- Yeah? Do you reckon there's profit in that?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- I think there's a little profit in that.- A little bit?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They are very fashionable at the moment, just to decorate the house.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12- Do you see many of these?- It's a good-looking thing.- I like it, I do.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- Good quality... You're just sick of luggage, aren't you?- Yeah, I am!
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- Don't want to look at it any more. - I like it, I like it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You do, darling? Well, that's great.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Anyway, good fun.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24We've got our prediction as to profit, which is great.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27You don't have to pick it till after the sale of your first three items,
0:28:27 > 0:28:29so let's find out for the audience at home
0:28:29 > 0:28:32what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's suitcase.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Well, Charles, here's a little something for the weekend, look.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Yeah, quite nice.- Nice leather weekend case, how do you fancy that?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Yeah, quite right. Tim, it's in pretty good condition.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- I love the colour of it.- Yeah, you think this is 1950s, isn't it?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- Do you think it's 1950s?- Yes... - I think it is.- Maybe, yes.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- 1950s.- It's a bit later, yes, you're right, Tim.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53But I suppose that market today is all the vogue
0:28:53 > 0:28:56and as an auctioneer, Tim, we see things like cameras
0:28:56 > 0:28:57peppering up the market
0:28:57 > 0:28:59and we also see this great market now
0:28:59 > 0:29:03for vintage travel suitcases and accessories
0:29:03 > 0:29:04really doing quite well.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05So what's your estimate?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Tim, we've been cautious to be kind -
0:29:07 > 0:29:09between 30 and 40,
0:29:09 > 0:29:11but it has got mileage.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Well, she'll be chuffed, cos she only paid £35
0:29:13 > 0:29:15and if the team believe in it and go with it,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17it may resuscitate their profits.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Hope so, Tim.- Now, I'll just park that down here, look,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23because that is it for the Reds.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25And now for the Blues.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Now, correct me if I'm wrong,
0:29:27 > 0:29:30But if that was a genuine cast iron side plate,
0:29:30 > 0:29:32that would be worth thousands of pounds, wouldn't it?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Yes, it would, Tim.- It has to be bogus, doesn't it?- Yes, it is bogus.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Oh, what a pity.- Yes, it is bogus, Tim. It's a real shame,
0:29:38 > 0:29:42it is quite crudely cast and maybe to a great enthusiast of railwayana
0:29:42 > 0:29:45who obviously can't spend the thousands on the real McCoy,
0:29:45 > 0:29:47this is a good example of a replica.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50OK, fine - and it comes with its little model train,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- which is rather sweet.- It does, Tim. - So how much for the two?
0:29:52 > 0:29:55We've put a guide price on of between 30 and £50.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Fair enough, they paid £30, so Matt and Lucy will be happy with that.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01- Good.- Now, the Strand Theatre lights...- Yes?
0:30:01 > 0:30:05I have to say, I'm getting increasingly keener
0:30:05 > 0:30:09on these rather oddball industrial
0:30:09 > 0:30:11theatre-type lighting equipment,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14because it can look great in a modern interior, can't it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Yes, it can do, Tim.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18And this market has really moved up in recent times
0:30:18 > 0:30:20and if you're into interior decor
0:30:20 > 0:30:23and you've got a good electrician who can put these up,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26they tell a story of theatrics from years gone by -
0:30:26 > 0:30:28and to me, they're a good buy.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- OK, how much of a good buy? - Tim, we really rate them.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- We hope they'll make up to £50. - Do you?- Yes.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36OK, well, you need to up your ante, because they paid 90.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Oh!- They paid £45 each for them. - Right.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I don't know whether that's too much or not.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- It's just the market you're selling into, isn't it?- Correct.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Now, we've got a radio.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Walnut veneered mains set, look.- Yes.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It's got the all-important name, Marconi,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51which of course...
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Marconi set the first factory up in around 1914,
0:30:54 > 0:30:56specifically making radios.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59So you've got an important leader of the market there.
0:30:59 > 0:31:05And the market is so now driven by the online airwaves of buyers,
0:31:05 > 0:31:07so it's the right market and the right sell and today,
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- we've got some other good radios in the auction.- How much?
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Tim, again we would hope it will make between 30 and £50.
0:31:15 > 0:31:16Do you? OK, £30 paid.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18So it seems to me, on the face of it -
0:31:18 > 0:31:20with the exception of the Strand lights -
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- that this team have done the right thing.- Correct.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24And they may not need their bonus buy,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29So, team - this is exciting, isn't it?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32You gave David Harper - the legend of Bargain Hunt -
0:31:32 > 0:31:34£150 to spend on a bonus buy, right?
0:31:34 > 0:31:36David, you take one end of your rag and I'll take the other
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and on the moment of pull, we'll show what he bought!
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- Push!- Come on, baby!
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- Oh, my word!- Exactly!
0:31:43 > 0:31:45What are you thinking, guys?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- It's a dead tree.- Yes, exactly.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's nature at its very best
0:31:50 > 0:31:53and it's been upcycled, recycled, bicycled
0:31:53 > 0:31:56into a piece of contemporary art.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Has it got a spray can on it, then? - Yeah, absolutely.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03It's had a bit of silver paint on there, which is very artistic.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- How much did you spend on it? - Yeah.- What do you think?
0:32:06 > 0:32:08If you could have 150, how much of that 150 would you spend?
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Definitely not 150.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- I'm hoping more 50 than 150. - Yeah, I was going to say 50.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17OK, well, you're going to be absolutely over the moon - 35.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19- Ah, OK!- OK, OK.- That changes things a little.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Do you think that we've got potential to double this money?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I do. It's one of those things you actually cannot value -
0:32:24 > 0:32:28and in this business, I love objects that you can't fix a value on,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30because who knows?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32When it goes in the saleroom, with online bidding,
0:32:32 > 0:32:36you just don't know and again, contemporary stuff is really on fire
0:32:36 > 0:32:38and that falls into, I'm hoping, that category.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41But team, you don't have to worry about it for the moment.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Just think about it, treasure those moments.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46All right. Now, for the audience at home,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about...
0:32:48 > 0:32:50David's trunk.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Well, Charles?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54You've sold some peculiar things in this saleroom in the past,
0:32:54 > 0:32:55I've no doubt.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58But when was the last time you sold a hollowed out tree section?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Never, Tim, never.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02And it's wonderful, this business, because new things happen
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- and this is one of them.- It's quite an old thing, I think, don't you?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08Yeah. Tim, it's a shame we can't sort of date it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12It's not fossilised and I suppose the question is, what you do with it?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14A little garden feature would be my money, I think.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- But anyway, it's for what anybody wants to...- A planter, perhaps.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- Exactly.- Yes.- OK, so what's it worth, do you think?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Well, Tim, I have no idea. It might make a tenner, it might make £50.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- We've gone in the middle, between 30 and £40.- OK, fine.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Well, Harper's paid £35 for it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33David Harper, right. He's to blame.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36He's to blame. So anyway, if the team decide to go for it,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- they will certainly be taking a punt.- They will indeed, Tim.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40Excellent.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- You taking the stand today? - Tim, hopefully I won't capsize.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44We're in safe hands, I think.
0:33:47 > 0:33:495...50...5...
0:33:50 > 0:33:52OK, guys, how are you feeling?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Good. Confident.- Are you confident?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Of course, yeah.- OK. What's your prediction
0:33:57 > 0:33:59as to how much profit we're going to make today, Mr Confidence?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Er, very little.- Oh, that confident?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05- Yeah, that confident.- Well, it's all a matter of opinion, right?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08We've got a saleroom which is crammed up with people.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It's on the internet.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13If there's a good chance of making a good price today,
0:34:13 > 0:34:17this is the place to try and get it, so let's be confident, eh? Great.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Now, first up then, is your silver-plated candelabrum
0:34:20 > 0:34:21and here it comes.

0:35:00 > 0:35:03And I'm bid here only £25.

0:36:18 > 0:36:19GAVEL BANGS
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Well done, 55 - round of applause for that, 55.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Now, £55 is +£20, OK?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27You were -85, which means overall, you're -£65.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29What are you going to do about the Watajoy?
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- We're going for it, definitely.- Are you?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- If we're going to lose, we might as well go out.....- With a bang.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36You're going to go with the bonus buy? OK, now you've made
0:36:36 > 0:36:39your decision, you're going with the bonus buy definitely?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42I can tell you that Charles' estimate is £30-£40.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45He rates this stuff, so with any luck, you'll make a small profit.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Easy-peasy.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Anyway, the die is cast, we're going with the bonus buy,
0:36:48 > 0:36:51we're going with the leather suitcase and here it comes.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Number 46, it's a Watajoy leather suitcase.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56Interest here on my book.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59I can go straight in at £28 and 30,
0:36:59 > 0:37:02I'm asking 2 now. 30 I'm bid. Do I see 2?
0:37:02 > 0:37:045 I've got. 38, 40 and 2...

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- Come on, one more, do I see? - Go on, just one more.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12I sell to a lady,
0:37:12 > 0:37:16all out we are, at £42.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18Well done, Caroline, that's a profit.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20It's +£7, there's nothing the matter with that,
0:37:20 > 0:37:23which means you are -£58.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- Sounds like a winning score to me.- Oh, -58?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Well, could be a winning score.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30You're absolutely right there, Seanie and the thing is,
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- don't say a word to the Blues, all right?- No, no.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Keep this our little secret, that -58.- Hope they did a lot worse!
0:37:36 > 0:37:39OK? And as you say, it could be a winning score.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Well now, do you know how the Reds got on?- No idea.- No idea.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Good, we don't want you to have any idea, either.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Anyway, you've got your Strand theatre lights.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Now, the Strand theatre lights that really make the money
0:37:58 > 0:38:01are those cast aluminium things that sit on a tripod.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Yeah.- They can make 2, 3, £400 a time.- Yeah.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07These are floodlights...
0:38:07 > 0:38:09Footlights or floodlights
0:38:09 > 0:38:12and they're a different breed of Strand lamp to the
0:38:12 > 0:38:15really valuable ones and I'm not quite sure
0:38:15 > 0:38:16what they're going to bring.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Charles has put 30-50. You paid 90.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21The lights will either go out on you, or they will shine,
0:38:21 > 0:38:23one way or the other.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Anyway, first up is the Flying Scotsman sign,
0:38:26 > 0:38:28absolutely F-A-B and here it comes.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32My number is now 62, being shown to you there. Where do we start this?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I've got commissions at £20.
0:38:35 > 0:38:3622, 25...
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- there's hands everywhere, let's go.- Go on!
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Miss White, 30, 35, 40,
0:38:42 > 0:38:4545, 50, 45...
0:38:45 > 0:38:46- Miss White?- Go on, Miss White!
0:38:46 > 0:38:48"No", she says. 45 I'm bid.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52All out, fair warning at £45.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54- GAVEL BANGS - That's all right!
0:38:54 > 0:38:57That's £15, that's a good profit, don't worry about that.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- Now, the Strand lights. - These are charming.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03These are the mid-20th-century Strand electric...
0:39:03 > 0:39:05This is your area of expertise.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07I'm only bid here... Well, not a lot.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I've got £30, my commission.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12- Go on, bit more than that! - 30 I'm bid, do I see 2 now?
0:39:12 > 0:39:1630 I'm bid, 32 online, we're live in the UK at 32.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Come on, let's go in the room.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19- I'm asking- 5. Go on!
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- Fair warning all, to the net today.- No!
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- We shall sell, all out, fair warning...- Uh-oh.- Oh, no.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28..at £32. Sold. GAVEL BANGS
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- He tried so hard.- He certainly did.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32- David's fault, that.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34- -£58, dear, oh, dear.- Oh, well.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- Now, the radio.- OK. - Let's be positive.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I'm only bid here...

0:39:52 > 0:39:54Fair warning, Miss Hornblower, I sell to you.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I shall say going, going, gone.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- GAVEL BANGS - Well done, £30.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01White face, which means you are -43.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05What are you going to do about the teak tree section?
0:40:05 > 0:40:09I think we're going to have to gamble, but it's your decision.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10What do you think, Luce?
0:40:10 > 0:40:13We've got faith in David.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17- I think we should.- OK, yeah, we'll go for it.- Go with Dave?- Good.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19I mean, a lot of people have in the past(!)
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Well, we're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23We're going with the tree trunk and here it comes.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Well, we see all sorts in the sale -
0:40:25 > 0:40:28it's an old piece of driftwood, but it's teak.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Where do we start this?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33- Thank you, Carl, thank you very much. - Can we stand it up, Charles?
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Of course we can. Yes, there we are, you can almost get inside it.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- And I've got £15.- Oh, dear.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- 18, do I see now?- Go on.- Go on.
0:40:41 > 0:40:4315 I'm bid, 18 do I see?

0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Go on!- ..2. 22...
0:40:48 > 0:40:5025, 28...
0:40:50 > 0:40:5328, I'm bid.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56It'd make a wonderful planter. 30...2...
0:40:56 > 0:40:582? 5? You've come so far. 38?
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- 38, 40...- Yes!- Well done. Well done, David.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- 45.- Yes!- Miss Shaw, thank you.
0:41:04 > 0:41:0740, I'm bid. Thank you, sir, back of the room.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09At £40 today, it's over. GAVEL BANGS
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Well done, Charles.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15There we go, £40, that's +£5, so well done, David.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18- Yay!- You were vindicated. - That was good fun.
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Anyway...
0:41:19 > 0:41:22So you were -43, you are now -£38,
0:41:22 > 0:41:25so that's helped - thank you, David, brilliant -
0:41:25 > 0:41:29and for all we know, -£38 could be a winning score.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- Don't say a word to the Reds, all right?- No.- No.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33And all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35Well done, thank you very much.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42So teams, have we been chatting about the scores?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44ALL: No.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Not directly? No? OK, fine.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48No eye contact, nothing.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52As you know, on Bargain Hunt, we don't have losers any more,
0:41:52 > 0:41:53- we only have runners up.- Good.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56And both teams today have made substantial losses, so...
0:41:56 > 0:41:58LAUGHTER
0:41:58 > 0:42:00The team with the most losses
0:42:00 > 0:42:03and therefore the runners up today just happen to be...
0:42:03 > 0:42:04The jolly old Reds.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06SEAN, DONNA, CAROLINE: Aw!
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Oh, the shame!- You are -58, it...
0:42:08 > 0:42:10It could've been a lot worse.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- Could have been a lot worse, could have been a lot different.- Yeah.
0:42:13 > 0:42:14Watajoy, our suitcase.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Thank God for suitcases. - Yeah, from our Caroline.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Anyway, that saved her a lot of embarrassment too.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Have you had a nice time, Donna? - Oh, it's been brilliant, yeah.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Loved it, Sean?- Really, good, yeah. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26Thanks so much for joining us.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29The victors today, who go away with the mantle of victory,
0:42:29 > 0:42:31with losses of -£38...
0:42:31 > 0:42:34- We're good.- ..are the Blues.- Woo-hoo! - Started off so nicely, didn't it,
0:42:34 > 0:42:38- what with the £15 for the Flying Scotsman sign?- Yeah.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Then it all went downhill.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Strand lights are not that hot, it appears, in Derby.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44No.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47- But the large teak tree taught us a lesson, didn't it, David?- Hello.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Hello, it did, for a £5 note.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52It wasn't the difference between victory and defeat, though.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- No, no, of course not. - Just to reiterate that.
0:42:55 > 0:42:56LAUGHTER
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- But it did have a ray of sunshine attached to it.- It did.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Congratulations for that. Anyway, we had a great day.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04Join us soon for some more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:04 > 0:43:05ALL: Yes!
