0:00:02 > 0:00:05'Today's show comes from Peterborough and it is notable for two things.
0:00:05 > 0:00:10'First, we are in one of the flattest, lowest lying areas in the whole of Britain.'
0:00:12 > 0:00:16And secondly, I have been given the opportunity to present Bargain Hunt.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19But I've got no intention of lying low. Oh, no!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Where bargains are concerned, it's time to stand up
0:00:21 > 0:00:24and be counted, so let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27I've always wanted to say that!
0:00:51 > 0:00:53It's a real family affair today.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56We've got father and son and mother and daughter teams, and if they're
0:00:56 > 0:01:00anything like families that I know, no-one will agree on anything.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So let's take a quick peek at what's coming up.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06'The Reds used to be indecisive, but now they are not so sure!'
0:01:06 > 0:01:08I still want the table.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12- But you want the trunk?- I think I'm more inclined to the trunk.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16'While the Blues bring new meaning to the term "shabby chic".'
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- That chair is nice. - The chair is lovely, isn't it?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21It probably needs a little bit of work doing to it.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24It needs an awful lot of work!
0:01:24 > 0:01:25'Let's meet the teams.'
0:01:27 > 0:01:30So, for the Red team today we have Barry and Andrew, father and son.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33And for the Blues, we have mum and daughter, Lisa and Charlotte.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Hello, all. - ALL: Hello.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So, Barry, you've had a fair few jobs in the past, is that right?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40One of which, you were a policeman?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- Yes.- Tell me how you got into the police force.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, I went to go in the police force,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49but they said I wasn't...
0:01:49 > 0:01:51They said I was weedy.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- I was 6' 2" and weighed about 10st wet through.- Oh, my goodness!
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So I got a job as a blacksmith's striker in Sheffield steel works
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and stayed there for a year, wielding a big sledgehammer about.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- That would put the muscles on you, wouldn't it?- It did.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- Look at you now!- That is all lard!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10You've had a bit of a chequered collector's history, is that right?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Yes. I do like chess sets -
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I have collected a few.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19I do like Reynard the Fox. I just like the design of them.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Not great to play chess with.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24I prefer the ordinary wooden chess sets to play chess with.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Andrew, what do you do for a living? - I'm a builder.- How did you get into the building trade?
0:02:29 > 0:02:33It was just an opportunity that came up. I used to do graphic design and 3D animation,
0:02:33 > 0:02:37but the opportunity came along and I thought, I'll give it a go, and I've never looked back since.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- And you describe yourself as a jack of all trades?- Yes.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I am mainly into joinery and kitchen fitting and things,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44but I do pretty much everything.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46So you can appreciate a good piece of furniture
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- that has been put together well?- Definitely.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Why is that?- I think I appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into it and the work.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Andrew, do you collect anything? - I do, yes.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- I collect Transformers toys from the '80s.- The toys of my childhood.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Fantastic, they are. I love them. - Everyone else wanted dolls!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- Transformers.- You can't beat them, can you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:07And do you buy and sell them or do you keep them?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I do. I buy some, sell some. I've still got a lot from my childhood.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14I have sold some from my childhood. I recently sold one for about £300.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- Really?- Yes. I think I bought it for about £20 back in the day.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Fantastic. I need to check my toy drawer, don't I?- Yes. Definitely.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I do sell them in online auction sites.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26I make a bit of cash here and there. It's good fun.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So we are going for chess pieces,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30we're going the toys. I can see lots of gaming going on here.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Possibly. I hope there is something out there like that, yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Do you think?- As long as it's cheap. - I like it. Good tactics.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Mum, Lisa, what do you do for a living?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I'm PA to the executive director of a local charity in Leicester
0:03:41 > 0:03:43that works for older people.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Fantastic. That must be very fulfilling.- I love it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Even though you are behind-the-scenes,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50you feel you are going to do something that is of benefit
0:03:50 > 0:03:53to those out there less fortunate,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55so it is quite varied and interesting.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I bet. And do you collect anything?
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I collect cats. I've got about 30 pottery cats and four live cats.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- But you are also a girl after my own heart. You are a bit of a jewellery lover.- Yes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- You can't beat a bit of bling, can you?- You can't.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- The more sparkle, the better. - Brilliant.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14My mum used to lose me in the stores and market places
0:04:14 > 0:04:16and she knew where to find me -
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I was where it was all glittering.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Like a magpie!- Yes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And you, our little student over there.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- You are at university at the moment. - I am.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I am a third year student, so I am just taking part in a placement year.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I'm at Nottingham Trent steadying interior architecture and design.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Interior architecture and design? That stands you in good stead then.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39- And mum encouraged you from quite an early age to do some voluntary work, didn't she?- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41We used to do Christmas raffle tickets, sponsored walks
0:04:41 > 0:04:45and as soon I turned 16 she said I'm signing you up to go into the shops.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- So we started in the charity shops and I still work there now at weekends.- Fantastic.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53And seeing all these wonderful things that come in that you
0:04:53 > 0:04:56- obviously sell in the shop, has that given you an eye for antiques?- Yes.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I really like furniture.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We see so much come in, but I have been banned recently
0:05:00 > 0:05:02because a lot of my stuff goes into storage,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04and it is usually my grandad's garage,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07and he has not been able to park his car for about three years!
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I have just moved out, so a lot of it has been cleared,
0:05:10 > 0:05:12but I am slowly filling it up again.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15OK. So what are our tactics today then? Have we got any tactics?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16We need something with character.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Something with character. OK, Charlotte. Lisa?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I'd like to find something a bit blingy,
0:05:21 > 0:05:24but as long as it is the right price and we can sell it at a profit.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27But if I like it, that is what matters.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29That is half the battle won, isn't it?
0:05:29 > 0:05:33So, now for the big money moment. Here we go.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35300 Great British pounds. There we go.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Your experts await and off you go. - See you later.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So they are all happy families now,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43but will they still be smiling by the end of it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:50'Two people who have a big say in that are our experts.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53'For the Reds, it's that silver fox Philip Serrell.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58'And the golden boy for the Blues, Mark Stacey.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So, is there a plan?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- I think we should spend as little as possible...- And?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10..and get as much out of it as possible. Find something really
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- interesting, really unusual. - And make a lot of money.- Yes.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14I think we're going to have fun, aren't we?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- We are, we're going to try to.- Yeah. - And what are you after?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Something with a bit of character. - Something we like.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Well, you've got that in me.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Who's in charge here?
0:06:23 > 0:06:24THEY LAUGH
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- Me. Definitely.- And?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Maybe.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I doubt if we're going to agree on anything,
0:06:31 > 0:06:32so that'll be the challenge.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Oh, gosh. So I've got to be the referee, have I?- You have.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37OK teams, your 60 minutes starts...
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- A HOOTER SOUNDS - ..now.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- I think we ought to start shopping, come on.- OK.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Straight from the off, the Reds are on the right wavelength.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52- Now, what do we think of that? - Not too bad.- How much is your radio?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53650 quid.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- How much?!- 650.- Would you take 30?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Do you know, I could have sworn you said 650?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Please do not adjust your set, there is a problem -
0:07:04 > 0:07:06they don't have enough money.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09MUSIC: I Like To Move It by Reel 2 Real
0:07:11 > 0:07:12Moving hard.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15An antiques fair as big as this one in Peterborough
0:07:15 > 0:07:18can be a bit overwhelming. The Blues aren't quite sure where to start.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Can we go through here, or carry on? Do you want to carry on?
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Shall we go that way?- Yeah, let's go. You're in charge. Ready?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- We'll snake round.- We'll go that way, then we'll see...- Jolly good.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Love that car. That's a sharknose Ferrari. I'm surprised it's not red!
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Those are nice, they're Chinese.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39They're called dogs of Foo, or temple dogs.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40You find them outside temples.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I like the colour of them, maybe not so much the look of them.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45They're not quite cute puppies, are they?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- What's that then? - It's a last rites cross.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I looked at it and I recognise it as a World War I piece.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56To give them the last rites...
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- on the battlefield.- Yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Skull and cross bones that gives it away.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- And it's cheap.- £12.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05This cross may have been used in the trenches
0:08:05 > 0:08:08or field hospitals of Flanders.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- So what's the best you can do that for?- Erm...
0:08:10 > 0:08:1212... I could do ten?
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Eight?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Eight cash?- Go on, then, go on.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- What do you reckon? - I think that's a goer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- Fulfils his price criteria, doesn't it?- It does. I'm happy. Yeah.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Thank you very much, thank you.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Well, that's the first item for the Reds and just £8 spent!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Over to you, Blues.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- Brannam is a Devon factory. CH Brannam.- OK.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41And the really good pieces have really Gothic creatures -
0:08:41 > 0:08:43fish and dragons over them.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But this is a very, sort of, Arts and Crafts...
0:08:46 > 0:08:47You'd find this in Moorcroft,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50you'd find it in Tudric pewter, for Liberty's.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- I actually like that.- It is nice, I like it. It's quite simple.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I do like that because that's practical as well, isn't it?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Well, I think it's just a very showy piece, isn't it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- It's just a really good bit of fun. - Yeah, what do you think, Charlotte?
0:09:02 > 0:09:06- What do you think?- Yeah, go for blue. I do like it, I do like it.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- What would it make at auction? £40 or £50, I suppose.- Really?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- It might not make a huge amount of money, but you never know.- OK.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Because it has got a good visual appeal to it.- Yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Now, the dealer said we could have it for 45.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19What do you think about that?
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Well, you said it would fetch between 40 and 50, and 45's on the nail.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Well, as a guesstimate, it's a bit on the nail, isn't it?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Well, we'll take a risk on it. We'll take a risk.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Let's take a risk on it. Good, we've got our first item.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Shake your hand, do I?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Yes, let's shake your hand.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Let's all shake her hand.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Blimey, they didn't even bother haggling.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41Are you sure you understand how Bargain Hunt works, ladies?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Meanwhile, Philip has a leading question.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Excuse me, good sir, how much is your porthole?
0:09:46 > 0:09:51- Porthole... 35 quid.- Got the rest of the ship?- Afraid not.- No, OK.
0:09:51 > 0:09:52Let's see the weight.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- Oh, it is some weight in that. - Yeah?- Oh, aye.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Single porthole, single glass porthole - does that still work?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- On here.- If you twist it...
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Yeah, still works.- Yeah.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Yeah.- I like that.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- What do you reckon, Phil? - What do you think?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12There's some serious weight in it.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14I think you should make him an offer for this
0:10:14 > 0:10:16and I think you should buy it, cos I think it's cheap.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- I think it's a beaut, this. - Yeah, I think it's cheap.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- I like it.- You do?- Yeah, I love it. - He just likes the price.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23He doesn't care, he doesn't care what it is.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26If it's under 50 quid, "I like that, I like that a lot."
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- And he is in charge, isn't he?- I am. - You remember that, Dad?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32He's in charge. You have a word with the man here.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34What's your best on that one?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Well, I'll take a fiver off. It's got to be worth 30 quid, isn't it?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Yeah, will you do 28?- Hark at this!
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Go on, 28.- How about 29?- 29.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- All right then, I'll meet you in the middle.- Yeah, 29?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- I think we're happy with that. Brilliant.- It's a deal.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Thank you very much, my friend.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53That's the Red's second item and if only had to wave goodbye to £29.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Full steam ahead.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57And the Blues aren't far behind.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00They're also searching for their second item.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04I think we need to go outside, guys.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Well, I think we need to head over there, you know.- Out into the open?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Yeah.- Let's go.- Let's go. Come on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11See that in there?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- Yeah?- Right, you ready for this?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15What's that?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Your fingers.- No, that...
0:11:18 > 0:11:19- Yeah?- Shorthand typist.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20Oh, God!
0:11:20 > 0:11:24That Philip Serrell, what a comedian.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Meanwhile, here's an unusual pair.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28The chairs, I mean, not Liza and Charlotte.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- I think the chairs are quite nice. - I like the chairs.- I love the chairs.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I mean, they're just really rather funky, aren't they?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36How much are the chairs, do you know?
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I've got 50 each on them, but I could do the pair for 75.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44What do you think?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Do you like them?- Mmm. - You really do?- Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50They've got that traditional look about them,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- but they've got a modern spin.- Yes.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57You know, I'm sure we can ask the dealer to do a bit better.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I could shave another fiver off, but that'd be the best.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02So that's £35 a chair - it doesn't sound an awful lot to me.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04That sounds really good, I like those.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- I mean, if two people like them, they could nick 100 quid.- Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Shall we go for that?- Go for that one.- Good! Our second item.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Chairs!
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Sorry. Moving swiftly on,
0:12:15 > 0:12:16the teams have two items apiece,
0:12:16 > 0:12:19so perhaps you'll allow me a little self-indulgence.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Who likes a bit of bling?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Me, obviously.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25So, on this table, we've got an array of brooches
0:12:25 > 0:12:29dating from the early 19th century, right up until 1950s, 1960s.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32They're all set with diamonds, and we have to remember
0:12:32 > 0:12:36that diamonds were only discovered in South Africa in 1871.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Before 1871,
0:12:38 > 0:12:43diamonds were really only affordable by the incredibly rich.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45After 1871, there was a huge influx of diamonds into Britain
0:12:45 > 0:12:48and, of course, the world, which led to diamond jewellery
0:12:48 > 0:12:51being much more accessible and much more affordable.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54For me, this piece here, this beautiful, beautiful Art Deco
0:12:54 > 0:12:56sapphire and diamond brooch
0:12:56 > 0:12:58is really the pinnacle of jewellery making
0:12:58 > 0:13:01and represents a massive turning point in jewellery styles
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and jewellery production.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05For the very, very first time,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09jewellers were using platinum in which to set diamond jewellery.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10This one is typically Art Deco,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13in the way it's been what we call "pave set".
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It's almost an illusion that the diamond is set.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19If we look at older styles, for example Victorian period
0:13:19 > 0:13:21or Georgian period, they were still using silver
0:13:21 > 0:13:23in which to set diamonds.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Which was so common because it was really the only metal
0:13:26 > 0:13:29that was malleable enough in order to make these wonderful settings
0:13:29 > 0:13:31that the diamonds are set into.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34So, if we look at the front, it looks very white, that's silver.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39But if we look at the back, it's set in gold, that yellow metal.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41So, if we look at this Art Deco brooch,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43if we put it in its context,
0:13:43 > 0:13:46we've just come out of the most hideous of world wars -
0:13:46 > 0:13:481914-1918, World War I.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52It's almost as if the clouds are clearing,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55we've come out of this living hell that we were in, in the trenches
0:13:55 > 0:13:57and the mud, and this is so represented in this brooch.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59It's a different style.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03It's thrown away, cast aside, the rigidity of the previous years,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06and embracing a new and beautiful style.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Art Deco jewellery is some of the most beautiful
0:14:09 > 0:14:13and highly crafted jewellery that you can find on the market today.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16And, for me, this is really incredibly beautiful.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Then, throughout the rest of the 20th century
0:14:20 > 0:14:21we go into a different style, here.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24It's got a little bit looser, you can see here again,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27experimenting with different styles, with different techniques.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30We haven't got the symmetry that was so important in previous years.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33This piece here, is a piece by
0:14:33 > 0:14:35a jeweller called Kutchinsky.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Kutchinsky was a Polish born jeweller
0:14:37 > 0:14:39and he had a shop in London.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43He basically came to England after the war
0:14:43 > 0:14:45and started producing beautiful pieces of jewellery.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48This great signature on the back really does add value.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It shows that it's a hand-wrought piece,
0:14:50 > 0:14:51and I would always recommend,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53that if you are buying a piece of jewellery that,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55if you can, if you can afford it,
0:14:55 > 0:14:56try and get one that's signed -
0:14:56 > 0:14:58it gives it that added kudos.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01It shows as a sign of quality and, at the end of the day,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03quality always sells.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05People say to me, in the saleroom, brooches are hugely
0:15:05 > 0:15:07out of fashion, no-one wears brooches any more.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Well, I'm probably not the trendiest person in the world,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14but I love a good brooch. I think it really, really makes an outfit.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16And I would say to you, that if brooches are
0:15:16 > 0:15:20so out of fashion, then maybe it might be a good idea to buy one now.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Back with the shopping and both teams still have one item to find.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I tell you what, I like this. I mean, look at this.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31This is an old galvanised tank out of somebody's roof.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's pretty funky, isn't it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34It would have been full of hot water
0:15:34 > 0:15:36and somebody's had the vision - or cold water -
0:15:36 > 0:15:38to turn it into a blooming table.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40A table made from a water tank.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Yep, that's right up Philip's street.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45- That's rather funky, that, I think. - That's a cool thing, I like that.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Can you hang onto that for an hour for us?
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Can't guarantee we'll buy it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51- Yeah.- And I can't guarantee will give you 100 quid for it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Well, it sold at 80, so give me 90, sold.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Keep it for an hour.- Yep, sound.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58All right, and if we don't see anything else,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- we might be back for it.- OK. It's the only one here.- See you later.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07He's not seriously thinking of buying that, is he? Whatever next?!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- That chair's nice. - The chair's lovely, isn't it?
0:16:11 > 0:16:12It needs a bit of work doing to it.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It needs an awful lot of work doing to it,
0:16:14 > 0:16:19- but it's a sort of gentleman's armchair.- It's a nice feature.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- But, unfortunately, not terribly saleable in today's market.- No.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Excuse me, sir, how much is your trunk?
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Erm...95.
0:16:26 > 0:16:2795, oh.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30It's a bit out of my price range, I think.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I quite like that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36It's a bit skew-whiff, the lid, as well.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37It's tin!
0:16:37 > 0:16:40It's tin, but it looks like crocodile.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42I think there's a profit in that. Do you like that?
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- I think we should keep looking.- OK.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- Not too sure about that one. - It's not an open and shut case then!
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Let's see how the Blues are doing.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51It needs be that little something interesting, doesn't it?
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- How about that chair? - Yeah, I like that chair.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- I can't read your price label there. - The price on that is 120.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00120, oh gosh.
0:17:00 > 0:17:01It's an old dental chair
0:17:01 > 0:17:03and I remember my dad used to have them in the surgery.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And when we were little, we would just keep going in there
0:17:06 > 0:17:10and zooming up and down the surgery and playing on them like that...
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- when there weren't patients there. - I think it's a great-looking object.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I'm not sure it's going to do hugely well at an auction.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think they're fantastic, these are the sort of things, now,
0:17:20 > 0:17:22that you'd find in these very big, decorative affairs.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26Where people have re-upholstered them, cleaned them up,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30and people use them as a funky office chair, something like that.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33I think it's a good price to buy if you were buying it privately,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- but to put it into auction, it's a bit much really- OK.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Do you know what? I don't think you should walk past that trunk.
0:17:41 > 0:17:42Do you think?
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- 70 quid, he'll do it for.- Really?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Cheaper than the table, as well.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49And it's such a stylish-looking thing
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- that I think it's just got a chance of doing quite well.- Yeah?
0:17:54 > 0:17:58- Shall we have another look at it? - Yeah. Yeah, why not?- Why not.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- This or the table.- Yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I must admit, I do like it. It did catch me eye.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10I can see that in a really expensive ladies' clothes shop.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11You know, with drapes on it and whatever?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- I can see that, yeah, possibly. - Shall we ask him to keep it for us?
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I think we should ask him to put it aside.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Shall I have a word with him? - I think that's a good idea.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Let me go and ask him.- I think we need to put that to one side.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27What do you reckon?
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- I mean, the inside is quite tatty as well, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34He will keep that for you for 35 minutes,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36and if you want it, it's 65 quid.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38So, there's an interesting thing here
0:18:38 > 0:18:43because you've got this against a galvanised water tank.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Shall we have another ten minutes, and then come back and decide?
0:18:46 > 0:18:47- Yeah.- Between the table and the chest.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50OK, but if you had to decide now, which we would you jump?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Probably the chest. - Probably the chest, yeah.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53While the Reds make a trunk call,
0:18:53 > 0:18:57the Blues take a trip down memory lane.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59I remember these, you know.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I used to have to sit like...
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Well, I can't quite sit like I did then, of course.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07But I used to sit on here and have two write my lines out.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Oh, you were one of those naughty boys, were you?- Absolutely.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- "I must know how to make a profit." - That is really nice.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Still wouldn't help. It's quite funky, isn't it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- And all stripped up, lovely for a nursery.- Yeah.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22- That's what I think, someone would buy that for the children.- £110.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- It's nice, I like it.- It has that industrial look about it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:27It's rather fun, isn't it?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Aw, while the Blues reminisce about school days,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32the Reds are still trying to decide what to buy.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34That is the ultimate Tilley lamp, isn't it?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- It'd be nice in the garden with that table.- Yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38THEY LAUGH
0:19:38 > 0:19:39There you go.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- Now you want the table? - Still want the table.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- You want the trunk.- I think I'm more inclined to the trunk,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48- mainly because...- The price.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50..I think that'll sell better than the table.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53So what are you going to buy then?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- I'm in charge, aren't I?- Yeah.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- I do recollect you saying that you were in charge.- Yes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05All right then, executive decision. I think we go for...
0:20:05 > 0:20:06The chest.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Ah, finally! Decision made.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Now, what about the Blues and that desk?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- Best I could do would be 95. - And that's reasonable, is it?
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Very reasonable.- I think, at most, they would put 80-120.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It's one of the nicest I've seen with industrial legs, but...
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Would you take 80 for it? - No, I won't do 80.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- I'm sorry.- OK.- I think 90 would be the best. The very, very best.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- CHARLOTTE: I really like it. - Do you?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Yeah, I really do. This sort of item would be my item.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34This is the first item you've really shown any emotion about.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- This is Charlotte's kind of... - I'm picky, that's why.- Are you?- Yes.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43- Could we do it for 85? Please, just for us.- Go on, do it, 85.- Go on.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- Go on, then. - Are you sure you're happy?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Oh, he's a naughty boy, that Mark Stacey.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52But it just goes to show that there is no harm in asking.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55And that's the Blues' final item.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Meanwhile, the Reds were heading back to buy that trunk, however...
0:20:59 > 0:21:00I really like that table.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Philip, you're supposed to be helping!
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Did you not hear me? Decision made. Trunk.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Go on, then, you go and sort it out and pay for it. - Let's do that.- Well done.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17So, how did you get on with him?
0:21:17 > 0:21:18We him knocked down.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- Do you know what? I still think that table.- No.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- No, I've made my mind up now. - 60 quid?- Yeah, 60 quid.- Really?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Yeah, got an extra fiver off.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I think that's a cool thing. I think you'll do all right there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- I fluttered my eyes at him. - Really? That worked?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33Stop! Those 60 minutes are up.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36It goes a lot quicker than you might think.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Home and hosed, and bring on the Blues.- Definitely.- Yeah!
0:21:40 > 0:21:41I wish I was back at school.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Let's remind ourselves what the Red Team bought.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Well, I'm blessed.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50They bought a World War I crucifix for eight pounds.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54They splashed out £29 on a cast bronze porthole.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01And they closed the deal on a faux crocodile skin trunk for £60.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- So, how did you get on, boys? - I think we did quite well, actually.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Yes, happy?- I'm quite pleased with our items, yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Are you? So, which is your favourite item?
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- I think it's probably the little cross.- Oh, OK. And, Dad?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Well, I was going to say the cross as well.- Oh, that's OK - you agree!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- Yes!- That's fantastic! So, how much should we spend altogether?- 97.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23£97? That's only a third of your budget.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- That's exactly what I was hoping for. - Oh, really?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27That's tactics, is it? I like it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- He was Mr Meany, from the outset. - Was he?- He was, yeah.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34So, that means we should have £203 to hand over to the glorious Mr Serrell.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Can I have it, please? Wonderful, thank you very much.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39There we go, Philip, straight over to your little sticky paws.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I'm going to give them something to think about, I think.- OK.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Brilliant. Meanwhile, let's go and see what the Blues have bought.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Co-ordinating nicely,
0:22:48 > 0:22:52they went for a blue Devon ware pottery vase for £45.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Are you sitting comfortably? These quirky hall chairs were £70.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01And, just before the bell, they bought this school desk for £85.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- So, Blues, how did we get on?- We did really well.- Not too bad.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09- Did you enjoy it? - Yes, it's great fun.- Yeah?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12A lot harder than you think it is, when you're watching it on the telly.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Yeah, I know. Did you get short for time?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17We did, we got it right down to the knuckle, didn't we, Mark?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20We did, there was a lot of prevaricating going on, wasn't there, girls?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Yeah, we're a bit fussy, so it was a bit hard.- Did you agree?
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- Mmm...- Ah...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Aha!- The last one. - We did on the last one.
0:23:28 > 0:23:29We did on the last one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31We didn't argue, so it wasn't too bad.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I know they're mother and daughter, I know, that's fine.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36So, Charlotte what was your favourite item?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37Definitely the school desk and chair.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39It was really nice, the industrial...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Are you going back to school?- Yes. It was really nice.- Brilliant.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43I like the character, so it's good.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Excellent, and Liza, Mum, what did you think?
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Well, the desk - the desk's lovely -
0:23:47 > 0:23:51but my favourite was the two chairs, that were just beautiful.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54They're wooden and they'd stand lovely in anybody's hallway, so...
0:23:54 > 0:23:58Oh, you're almost selling them to me! I love it. I'll buy them now!
0:23:58 > 0:24:01And which do we think, of all the items that you bought,
0:24:01 > 0:24:03is going to be the most profitable?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I'm hoping my desk.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08It's my item, that's the one I'm hoping it's going to get decent...
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I don't know, I think the blue vase might stand
0:24:10 > 0:24:11a little bit of a chance of a profit.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Have they been like this all the time?- Yes.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16I have a headache. I need to lie down in a darkened room.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- How much did you spend, ladies? - We spent £200.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23- £200, OK. So, we've got £100! - We have.- Fantastic.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- So, I'm sure I trust you, there we go, Mark.- Thank you very much.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29£100 left over, what do we think we'll buy these ladies?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32It's quite a lot of money, isn't it? I don't intend to spend much of it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- But I've got something wonderful in mind.- OK.- Oh, wonderful.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36I won't give you any more clues.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Meanwhile, I'm heading off to the auction.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00We have travelled from Peterborough to Stamford to be in the
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- very safe hands of the dapper David Palmer. David, hello.- Hi.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07So, what do we think? We've got lovely items on the table here.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09We've got the first item that our Red Team bought,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12their favourite piece here was the First World War crucifix,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15or last rites cross. What do you make of that?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Just as an item, it's not over-exciting.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20If we just had a provenance with it.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23That's the thing about all these items, you want that history
0:25:23 > 0:25:25with it, don't you? You want the story behind it.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28If only it had someone's name inscribed on the back, or something.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Do you see them very often?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Yes, those sort of things come through a lot
0:25:32 > 0:25:34and they're not terribly sought-after.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Nonetheless, it is quite an evocative piece, isn't it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Oh, yes, very much so. - They paid £8 for it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Oh! Well, they might be in with a chance.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44We'll put our standard 10-20 on it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- OK, so not too far away at all? - It might catch someone's imagination.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49OK, great.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53So, moving on to the second item, which I think Andrew picked out.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55We've got the cast bronze porthole there.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58It's a shame it hasn't got Titanic or something like that written on it.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59- Yeah, White Star line.- Yep.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It's going to need a serious wall to put it in - it's quite heavy.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm not entirely sure what you'd do with them.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07I suppose you could make it as a window between two rooms,
0:26:07 > 0:26:08internal rooms, or something like that.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10But you've got to have a purpose for it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13But, bear in mind, you can go to any marina and get a porthole.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14- Oh, really?- Yes.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Well, our team paid £29 for it.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Oh! Well, we might show them a pound profit then. 30-50, we think.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Oh, that's OK! Hey, profit's a profit, I'm happy.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29So, our third item for the Red Team is that faux crocodile skin,
0:26:29 > 0:26:31- rather wonderful domed trunk. - It is nice, isn't it?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Yeah, what you think of that? - Very decorative, dome's good.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Metal, crocodile skin, wood.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Quite trendy at the moment, isn't it?- Very trendy. Very decorative.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It just needs a good polish and it could sit in the corner of any room.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46They paid all of £60 for it, which I don't think is too bad.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- That falls well within our estimate, 50-80.- Oh, brilliant.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53OK, so we're pretty much on the same page with most of the estimates.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56We're on the same page. Just hope the bidding public are as well.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58So, they might not need their bonus buy,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but let's have a look at it anyway.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- So, Barry and Andrew.- Hello.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Last of the big spenders?
0:27:05 > 0:27:09- Yes, very much so, yes.- You spent £97 on the day, didn't you?
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Was that a bit of a team tactic, not to spend very much?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- That was very much the tactic, yes. - That was about £90 more
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- than we should have spent. - Really?!- Yes.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Wow, OK. Well done, Phil.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24- So, they left you with a very hefty sum of £203.- Well...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26what I did...
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- Do you remember that galvanised tank table?- Yes, we do.- Yes.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32It's just outside there, you may or may not have seen it.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- No, we haven't seen it. - But that's what I bought.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's a big galvanised tank that's come out of an Edwardian roof void,
0:27:38 > 0:27:41or whatever, that someone's cut the legs out of it,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43and turned it into... It's clearly not a coffee table,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46but it's, like, an outside patio table, or a barbecue table.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47It'd make a great summer table.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It cost me £85. I think it's cool enough to make you a profit.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- You saw it on the day.- We did, it was very quirky.- Did you like it?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Yes, very much so. We almost bought it.- Oh, did you?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01We were toying between what we did get for the third item and that.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- We tossed a coin.- OK. So, you like it - that's good news.- Yes.- Yes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:06That's very good news.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Well, you don't need to decide until you've sold your first three lots,
0:28:09 > 0:28:11and then you have to make the big decision.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15But in the meantime, let's see what the auctioneer thinks.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19This thing has got Philip Serrell written all over it, has it not?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22It's rubbish. SHE LAUGHS
0:28:22 > 0:28:27I'm slightly dreading asking this, but what is your estimate on it?
0:28:27 > 0:28:30I think, perhaps, if you took the remains down to the scrapyard,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32they might give you 15, 20 quid for it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34So, we'll put 20-30 as our estimate.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Right, Philip paid...
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Hold your breath... £85 for it.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Had he not got his glasses on at the time, or something?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- I see no way we can get anywhere near that.- Right, OK.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50- And I thought the 20-30 was a bold... - Do you think?- Yes.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53OK, so we are not loving the bonus buy.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55No, but they don't have to take it, do they?
0:28:55 > 0:28:57They don't have to take it, no, exactly.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59So, we'll just keep everything crossed that perhaps
0:28:59 > 0:29:02they make some money on the previous items.
0:29:02 > 0:29:03That's a good look at the Red.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Let's have a look what the Blue Team bought for us.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09What do we think of this rather wonderful Devon ware vase?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11I like it. It's got the shape...
0:29:11 > 0:29:13It could be Linthorpe, Christopher Dresser,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- if it were in a different material. - Couldn't it just?
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I mean, the shape's there, the design's there. Everything's there.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21Those wonderful sinuous bits on there - just fab, isn't it?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23You stand that on a sideboard -
0:29:23 > 0:29:25it could stand on a Regency sideboard -
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- and it would look something. - And it's a great colour, isn't it?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It's not offensive, it's not garish,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33it's just a lovely, solid piece.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34What have you estimated at,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37bearing in mind we can't attribute it firmly to someone?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41We've put down a fairly noncommittal estimate of 40-60.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Oh, good! Excellent, OK.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Well, our team's paid £45 for it. - So we're in the market.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50Yeah, we're thinking that that's a good price for that. OK, super.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53So, moving on, we've got the pair of hall chairs.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Haven't got a serious amount of age to them, have they, at all?- No.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I like these, I think they're interesting.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02They're either oak or elm, or some mixture thereof.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06They remind me of the kind of chairs that you see in cathedrals.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09I mean, these could be anywhere from the '70s up till yesterday
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and they're well-made.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12We're estimating 20-40.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- Well, our Blue Team paid £70 for them, for the pair.- Right.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So, it's a bit touch and go, isn't it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:25It is, but if you went to a shop to buy them, they'd be, what, 150 each?
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- Very true. Very, very true. - They might just do something.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- So, maybe, if two people love them. - Yep.- We might get somewhere near.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33- Indeed.- Let's hope so.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36And then, of course, we have the third item
0:30:36 > 0:30:38that they bought, which is that lovely, vintage school desk.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- What are your thoughts about that? - It's got the integral seat there.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45It reminds me of my Sunday school lessons.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47I used to have to sit at a desk like that.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I'm slightly older than you
0:30:49 > 0:30:51and when I went to school that's the type desk we had.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Ah, so it's nostalgic?- Yes. And people buy them for their children.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57- Yep.- You see the see them sitting around in rooms.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59The Americans are very keen on them.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Some of the sales I do, the Americans buy them a lot.- Brilliant.
0:31:01 > 0:31:07However, over the last six months, they have plummeted in value.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12- OK.- And I been selling them for them for £10-£20.- Oh, no!
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Yep, so that the estimate we put on. - £10-£20?!- Yes.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Well, our team paid £85 for this. - Uch.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22So, all in all, we're thinking possibly a profit,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24a little bit iffy,
0:31:24 > 0:31:25and on our school desk?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Absolute loss.- A loss.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30OK, so they could well need their bonus buy.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- They will need it. - Let's have a look at it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So, Liza and Charlotte,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38you spent a good, healthy amount, you spent £200, which is fantastic.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42So you left Mark with a good, round £100 to spend.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- What did you spend it on? - Well, I bought something wonderful.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52I've bought these charming little lace cloths,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55with pieces from Alice in Wonderland,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57and I think they're rather unusual.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Look, there's the Mad Hatter.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01There's Tweedledum and Tweedledee.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- I actually like these!- I think they're absolutely wonderful.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I've never seen anything like them before.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07And, anything, of course,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10with Alice in Wonderland connotations is very collectable.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Mmm!- And I think these are really charming.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15- They're wonderful, aren't they? - And they were a bargain.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- How much did it cost you then, Mark? - £20 for the four.- Wow!
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- £5 each.- That's not too bad.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22How much do you think they're going to make at the auction?
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Well, I might be a Mad Hatter,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26but they've got to be worth £10 each, haven't they?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- Oh, I'd have thought so.- They've got to be worth £40.- Fingers crossed.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- I would eat my Mad Hatter's hat if they don't.- Brilliant.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Well, you don't have to decide now.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Obviously, you can wait until your first three lots have sold tomorrow.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41And then you can say a big yes or a big no, depending on how you feel.
0:32:41 > 0:32:42But in the meantime,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45let's see if the auctioneer thinks Mark's Wonderlands are wonderful.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50So, Mark, in his wisdom, bought these.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53What do we think about these, David?
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- I think they're rather fun.- I do too. They're lovely, aren't they?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59What you think the market for them would be like?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I don't think it's going to be excessive,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03but a few little old ladies that turn up might like them.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04A bit of fun to have.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06And great that you've got the set of four.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09They illustrate pretty much the principal characters, don't they?
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Could have been a larger set. Could have even been place settings,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16ten or 12, around a table. But, the principal characters, as you say.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18And do you think they're by an amateur that's copying
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- illustrations from the book? - Most definitely.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I don't think we can say that they're by the book illustrator himself.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25It'd be nice to, wouldn't it?
0:33:25 > 0:33:28Unless he sat in a restaurant and doodled on the place settings,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I think not.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32OK, so what is your auction estimate on these?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Cos these guys may well need this bonus buy.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- We've estimated them at £20-£30. - OK, brilliant.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41That is brilliant because I think Mark paid £20 for the set.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- Fiver apiece, yeah.- Fiver apiece, yeah. Perfect.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45So, I'm happy with that.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Now, promise me that you will
0:33:47 > 0:33:50wield your gavel like you've never wielded it before.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- For you, anything. - Brilliant, there we go.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Let's go and have a look, see what happens at the auction.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58We're finishing at 160, sold 160. Anyone else in the room now?
0:34:00 > 0:34:0218, new money at 18.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- How are you feeling? - Very excited, can't wait.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Look at that big smile on your face. How are you feeling, Philip?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13I'm, yeah... I think we're going to do all right, actually.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I think we're really going to do all right.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18OK, well, Barry, you choose the World War I cross, didn't you?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- I did, yes. - How are you feeling about that now?
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- I'm optimistic, actually.- Yeah? - I think it should do well.- Super.
0:34:25 > 0:34:26Well, you paid £8 for it,
0:34:26 > 0:34:30the auctioneer's estimated it at £10-£20. Best of luck, here we go.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34The World War I period metal and ebony last rites crucifix.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Interesting little lot this, put it in at £10. Ten to start.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38- Oh, come on.- Ten. No money.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Tenner? Tenner bid. Another ten. 15.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Go on.- At 15. 18, 20. - 20. Oh, fantastic!
0:34:42 > 0:34:44At £20 now, keep going there. At 20.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Well done, you.- At 20.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48And the bidder on the net, having a go at... 22, in the room.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Room at 22. 25, the net at 25.
0:34:50 > 0:34:5128 off you, madam.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54I sell at 25. The net, then at £25.
0:34:54 > 0:34:55It's with the internet at 25...
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Well done.- Brilliant, well done.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59£17 profit, that's fantastic.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Next lot coming up now, we've got the porthole.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04All it needs is a good polish and then mounting.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05- 30?- Come on.- Come on.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- 20?- No, come on!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- £20, the porthole?- Come on!
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Tenner for the port... Tenner bid, down here.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- I can't watch.- At ten. Take a two now.- Come on.
0:35:14 > 0:35:1512. The lady at 12.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1812, that's all right. We're off to a start, that's good.
0:35:18 > 0:35:2022, madam. 25.

0:37:07 > 0:37:0955. So it would have been a £30 loss, but we didn't decide
0:37:09 > 0:37:11to go with the bonus buy,
0:37:11 > 0:37:14so we're still up by £18, which is absolutely fantastic.

0:37:36 > 0:37:38which I think is stunning.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40I love the colour on this. It's just gorgeous, isn't it?
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Who decided on that one? - It was kind of joint, wasn't it?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46It was joint, but Mark picked it out, didn't you, Mark?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Well, you wanted something blue,
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- and we've gone through so many blue glass vases.- The Blues!
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- And I thought this just had a lovely organic form.- Yes, it's beautiful.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58I love this. So, you paid £45 for that,
0:37:58 > 0:38:00the auctioneer has estimated it at £40-£60.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- That's not bad. - So it's in the right ballpark.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Oh!- Unfortunately, I'm very sorry to say that.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- You did not make a profit on anything!- No!
0:42:07 > 0:42:11You made a loss on your vase, you made a loss on your chairs,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14you made a loss on your desk. You went for the bonus buy,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16you made a loss on that!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19But, hey, you did it in style and that's the main thing.

0:42:24 > 0:42:25You did brilliantly.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30You got profit with your crucifix, well done to you, my love, on that.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34All credit to you. You made a profit on your porthole, well done, Andrew.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And then, you unfortunately made a loss on, I think, Phil's choice.
0:42:37 > 0:42:42- Yeah, absolutely.- But only a very small one, on the tin trunk.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45And then, you didn't go with your bonus buy, well done.
0:42:45 > 0:42:50Overall, we had £18 profit. So, well done, you. Fantastic.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Thank you for your company, it's been wonderful,
