0:00:05 > 0:00:07Today we are at the Anglesey antiques fair.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09It's very exciting.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12This is completely new territory for me.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16For 12 long years as an expert on Bargain Hunt, I've waited for
0:00:16 > 0:00:19this day, when I can say,
0:00:19 > 0:00:20"Come on...
0:00:20 > 0:00:23"let's go bargain hunting, yes?!"
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- Yes!- Oh, that felt really good!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Take a gander at this.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03There are 120 antique stall holders
0:01:03 > 0:01:06for our Red and Blue teams to buy from today.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11They have the £300, they have the 60 minutes to find that ultimate
0:01:11 > 0:01:15treasure to take to auction from North Wales.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Here's a taster of what's coming up.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Can the Reds seek divine inspiration to be today's winner?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Are they actual Pope clothes?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28LAUGHTER
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Oh, yes, the ones on the back.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33They are, aren't they?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Or can the Blues out top them to become top dog?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Good sized top hat, really. Look at that.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41THEY LAUGH
0:01:41 > 0:01:44All will be revealed at the auction.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48I don't believe it. We have slithered a loss at a fiver.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49£20 in the room...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Tom, Tom, Tom.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54No, no!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01On Bargain Hunt today, we have friends Lauren and Ollie.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06And the newly engaged couple Joe and Sophie. Hello to you all.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- Hi.- Good to see you. Now, Lauren, tell me about yourself.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14I just graduated university in Swansea,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- so just working in a toy shop at the moment, really.- Good for you.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20While I look for a real life job.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- What's your plan for the future, Lauren?- Well, I'd love to work in
0:02:23 > 0:02:28the environment, so in conservation or forestry or something like that,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- or maybe even for the Met Office. Big dreams.- And this Welshman with that
0:02:32 > 0:02:36big beard, tell me, how did you guys meet...and become friends, Lauren?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Well, I met Ollie on a night out in Swansea.
0:02:39 > 0:02:45And I didn't realise we did the same course until, a couple of days later,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48I saw him on a field trip, and how could you miss that beard, really?
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Absolutely.- I introduced myself and...- We've been friends ever since.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55That's nice, well done. What are your career plans for the future?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I currently work in a supermarket.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00I did it part-time throughout my degree.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03And I want to progress with wine,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07it's my passion, and I've been on lots of courses
0:03:07 > 0:03:11and I've enjoyed drinking it since I was 18. I want to go and be a buyer
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- in the head office. - How much is a good bottle of wine?
0:03:14 > 0:03:19- I'd say between £8 to £11, probably.- OK, mental note.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22And tell me, what is this about your grandmother and her antique interest?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Well, she loves it. She lives for Bargain Hunt.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29So, ever since I was little, we've been mooching,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32mooching round her antiques in the cupboard and stuff.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So she will be chuffed.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Ollie, it's also your grandmother who is
0:03:36 > 0:03:38responsible for your antique interest.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40When I was younger I used to go round her house,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43and she showed me some of the antiques. I was really fascinated.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45What are your tactics today?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Well, I think we want to kind of buy low and sell high,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52- that's the aim, really. - Buy low, sell high.- I will haggle.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- She will bat her eyelids.- Goodness me.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58You're going to haggle very, very hard. Well, thank you, Reds.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Thank you so much. And now over to the Blues.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03- Hello.- Hello.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Joe and Sophie, Sophie and Joe, you're lovebirds?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- You've been engaged how long for now?- For a year now.- Wow, and still love?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Yeah?- Just.- Still fells like yesterday, Joe?- Yeah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Good man. That's a very good answer.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19So tell me, how did you two meet and get together?
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Well, we first met in high school. - No!- Yeah.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27It was just after my GCSEs and the school were doing a music week,
0:04:27 > 0:04:28so I thought I'd help out.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31And that's where I met Sophie, really, I got talking to her.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And apparently she used to say hi to me all the time,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- and I used to ignore her.- Really? - Yeah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39And rumour has it you don't do things by halves,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- you got engaged somewhere very special.- Yes, the Ritz hotel in London.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Goodness me. What a way to live.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I thought I would make it that bit extra special by asking
0:04:48 > 0:04:49Sophie to marry me.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54And I came over with a cloche, and she said yes.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Good for you. And away from all that glamorous living of engagement,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00what do you do, Joe, on a daily basis?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Well, on a daily basis, I'm doing a local...
0:05:03 > 0:05:05in a local college, I'm doing a policing degree.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Ultimately I would like to join the police force, either in North Wales or somewhere else.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Away from your work, Joe, you are also a bit of a drummer?
0:05:13 > 0:05:14That's correct, yeah.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18I play drums, been playing for around about five years,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and I also teach drums at my local school.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- In more ways than one, the beat is on.- That's right.- That's a boom, boom.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And tell me, Sophie, I understand you want to be a probation...
0:05:29 > 0:05:33- A probation officer.- It wasn't me. It wasn't me.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34It wasn't me.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36And why is that, just because...
0:05:36 > 0:05:40Just helping, sort of, criminals get back on the right track,
0:05:40 > 0:05:44making sure, like, avoiding them to reoffend and stuff like that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I find that really interesting.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49And we can maybe find you out on a Sunday morning, bleary eyed,
0:05:49 > 0:05:54and a bit tired. You're a great car boot fanatic. Antique fair.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Definitely. Me and my grandad are there on a Sunday morning.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- What are your tactics? - Look for something unique,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- something that in the auction they have never seen before.- Yes.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Definitely.- That sounds very good.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06This is the most important moment of all.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I've got here for you, Joe and Sophie, £300.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Goodness me. Lauren and Ollie. Spend it wisely. Get out of here!
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Get out of here and off you go!
0:06:19 > 0:06:20So let's meet today's experts.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23There will be no dodgy deals with Claire Rawle around.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25She'll be enlightening the Reds.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And going potty with the Blues is Thomas Plant.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39So, teams, what's the plan of attack?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I'd like to look for some military memorabilia.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44My dad is in the army and I've always had a keen interest in it.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46OK, that's interesting. What about Lauren?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I was thinking something silver, maybe a bit decorative.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- Sophie and Joe, are you excited? - Very excited.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- What are we going to be looking for today?- I want to look for jewellery.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58A girl after my own heart. And what about you?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Anything musically related, really. - You're a musician, aren't you?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- That's correct, yes. - Well, we will do our best.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08You better get fishing for a bargain because your hour starts now.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Let's go.- OK. Let's go shopping.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12That's quite a shopping list.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Let's hope they can find what they're looking for.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20There's quite a lot to choose from.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Are they actual Pope clothes?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27Oh, darling Lauren, Pope-wear is so on-trend this year.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The clothes. They are, aren't they?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- Don't think he'd like to hear you say that. - THEY LAUGH
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Anyway, moving on, as the Blues have tuned into
0:07:36 > 0:07:40a piece of broadcasting history - a mid-20th century radio.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I really like that. It seems in good condition.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The thing is, at auction, we can't sell electrical goods
0:07:47 > 0:07:49unless they have been PAT tested.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52PAT tested means they have been tested by an electrician
0:07:52 > 0:07:53and they are safe to go.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55The other way of doing it is,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58you just snip the wire off the back here,
0:07:58 > 0:08:00and they have to be rewired, which is such a shame.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04The auctioneer doesn't want to be sued for selling an electrical good
0:08:04 > 0:08:07which could sort of send somebody across the room,
0:08:07 > 0:08:09it's never a good look, is it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12Good on you, Tom. Always looking out for us auctioneers.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13What did you like about it?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Because it was vintage, it looked very vintage.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18It does look vintage and it is popular, isn't it?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I do like the look of it. - Cool item as well, isn't it?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yes, I like the way you're looking at it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26You've got a younger eye to me.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30At least half my age, so I quite like that.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31It's quite interesting.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35What... I would say this is worth between 30 and £50.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37What's the price of this?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- 45.- 45. So there we are. What's the best price?
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- 90.- Don't be silly!
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- What's that call from the back? - We could come down to 40.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50£40.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- What do you guys think? - I think we'll leave it for now.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Because of the cutting the wire. - How about if you did it for 30?
0:08:55 > 0:09:00- Would you be interested in taking it down?- Come in at 35.- We'll take it.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- You liked it. Yes, you want to go for it?- Yes.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- Your first item in minutes.- Wow!
0:09:05 > 0:09:09The Blues are tuned in. That's the first item in the bag.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I'm really pleased with that item.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I think you should be, it's got everything you want, really.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Chop, chop, Reds, you're playing catch-up.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Lauren, here's some sparkly things. - I love the shine.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- Are these tea strainers? - Yes.- I like them.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Very often, I don't know if they're a mote spoon,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32they've got a spiky bit on the end so you can clear tea from the spout.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35What are these miniature chairs there?
0:09:35 > 0:09:36They are literally just miniature chairs.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39They wouldn't be put in a doll's house or anything,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- or would they be kept on the side? - Cabinet pieces, really.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Do you have anything special hidden away anywhere?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yes, we have a few interesting items.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49The chairs, for example, are always very collectable.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50And are they made of silver?
0:09:50 > 0:09:55They are solid silver, most of them are English and over 100 years old.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- I like the one at the back with the wheel on.- I like that one.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- That's a Dutch one.- Oh, OK.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01THEY LAUGH
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- It is about 1920s.- Yes.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05It's actually quite heavy.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Does it have an import mark on it, or is it just a Dutch mark?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- It's got the Dutch mark.- It's at the bottom.- Sword on the bottom.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12It is quite nice, isn't it?
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- I like it, I think it is quite... - It is quite different.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17I could do that one for £60.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Is that the lowest you could do?
0:10:19 > 0:10:22It's... I've gone straight in at my lowest price.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24You couldn't do a little bit better?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Like a tiny bit, maybe £50?
0:10:27 > 0:10:28I love a good haggle.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well, I have to make a small profit.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32I'll meet you in the middle at 55.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- 55.- You never know at auction.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- Could go either way.- Yes. But you are in with a chance of that, I think.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41I think we should go for it. Should we go wild?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- Yes, let's do it. - Yeah, we'll take it.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Excellent.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45Thank you.
0:10:45 > 0:10:46Thank you very much, thank you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50So, top negotiation skills there, Lauren. Good work.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Now, mirror, mirror on the stall,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57who's the best team of all?
0:10:57 > 0:11:01- What do you think of this?- Oh, wow. - It is a shaving...- A shaving mirror.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Just what every man needs these days.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06It's a really nice, unusual piece.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Oak base, this very elegant telescopic stem.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12And you've got a really nice bevelled mirror.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16These two are...replacements, but that is not the end of the world.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Does that matter?- No, because you can put your soap in there.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You could upscale it by putting a slightly sexier brush with it.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- But it's better with than out. - You like it, don't you?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Yeah, it's lovely. I'd love to have that in my bathroom.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- What a fun thing. How much is it?- It's 32.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's £32.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35And could there be a two in front of it?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- It could be 28.- 28. About 25.
0:11:39 > 0:11:4127.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- That's about...- That's an odd number!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- I'm an odd girl.- 26.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- 26.- 26.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Go on.- Excellent.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Sophie, you're not hanging about.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53You have no say in it, Thomas!
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I have no say.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57When you want something, you go for it, don't you?
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Is that when you saw him? When you wanted him, you went for him.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Yeah, definitely.- Absolutely. Thank you very much. It's very kind.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Right, two items down, let's go get another one.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I reckon you can put your feet up, Thomas,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11these guys are cruising on their own.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh, look at those cars.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- Yeah. These sell really badly at the moment.- OK.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21They are just...bleurgh!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Er, yeah, that is a definite no, Ollie.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Those bottle openers, but I don't know if they are worth very much.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Not a lot, no. You want a function to them, really.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33That's another no, then.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35We'll just move on. Right.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- 160.- 160.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- I like that.- Very nice, isn't it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- Blues, what have you done with poor Thomas?- Tom. Tom.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- We've found something. - Oh, they do love you.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Now, can I just take a wild guess?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Sophie, you found this?- Yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05SHE LAUGHS
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- No, Joe chose this one.- Let me just see if I can get my glass.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- What attracts you, it's the colours? - The colours. Very bright.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yeah, they are bright, aren't they?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19It's a real mix match of stones.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23You have diamonds, topazes...
0:13:25 > 0:13:27..sapphires.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29My, that's quite a collection!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Do you think it would make money at auction?
0:13:31 > 0:13:35- No.- No.- Not at £160.- OK.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39That's that then, team. Consider yourself told, Sophie.
0:13:39 > 0:13:40Onwards and upwards.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47Now, Ollie, you're after some militaria. What have you found?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52We've got World War I, the Tom, Dick and Harry. My great-grandad has these at home.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- I think they look really cool.- They are a nice group. There are lots of them around.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00They are common because they were given to pretty much everyone who served, weren't they?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02The good thing is, if they were a casualty,
0:14:02 > 0:14:04because if they were killed they are worth more.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08All these medals are named. This one on the back, these have been named round the rim.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11They tell you his number, his name and his regiment.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Yeah. And then you can look it up, unless they have already done it,
0:14:14 > 0:14:16to see if they were a casualty or not.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Yeah. No, I like them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Oh, 105, gosh. If it is a casualty, it is close.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24But...rarely with a trio,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28you're looking at 50 to 70 at auction at the moment.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Hello, do you know if these are casualty groups at all?
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Have you researched...? They are not, OK.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37So what would your very best price be on that trio...the trios, particularly.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41105, so you can be 90.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46- And can't come down any lower? - Can't come down any lower. - OK, that is fair enough.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Mmm, that's a lot of lolly, Ollie. You'd be off your trolley.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- We'll have a think, shall we?- OK. That's lovely. We might come back.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Bye.- Thanks.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01So how are we doing for time?
0:15:02 > 0:15:06We've had about 25 minutes. That's not bad, we've had a purchase, but keep an eye on the clock,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- cos I find sometimes these last few minutes...- Run away...- ..run away.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11We don't want to end up running at the end.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- No, no, no and buying something in a desperate attempt...- Yes.- Yes.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Heaven forbid. Watch this space.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I knew you Blues had some class.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25It's a good-sized top hat, that. Look at that.
0:15:25 > 0:15:26LAUGHTER
0:15:26 > 0:15:28Ha-ha! How are they getting on, Thomas?
0:15:28 > 0:15:32It's going well, we've bought two items. Yes, they're both under £40.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34They're actually probably, yes,
0:15:34 > 0:15:38they're pretty low, one was at 35 and one was at 26.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Sophie is the decisive one of this pair.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Joe's quite happy to be led along and I'm really keen
0:15:44 > 0:15:47for the third and final item to be HIS decision.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52I'm a bit, a bit masculine at the minute,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55so, I think we should get something for you.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56I would really like jewellery.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59If I could find some good pieces of jewellery,
0:15:59 > 0:16:00then I'd be really pleased.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Good on you, Soph.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Put some sparkle back into your life.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Now take a look at this, which proves not all antiques
0:16:07 > 0:16:11have to be found at fairs or auction houses.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Only two years ago,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16when I went out one misty grey day with my detector,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I found this silver shilling.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21500 years old
0:16:21 > 0:16:26and minted during the reign of a lady who died in 1603.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Who's that?
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Yes, it's Elizabeth I.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33You've got the coat of arms, which are obviously...
0:16:33 > 0:16:35indistinct through wear.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39What is this coin worth now? I know you want to know. Well,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43I would value this at probably between 25 and £35.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47It might buy me a very basic Doulton figure,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50on an unassuming Beswick cow.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Would I swap this for anything else in the world? No way, Jose.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58It's my find and it's my link to a wonderful Elizabethan past.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02Back to the shopping now
0:17:02 > 0:17:05and have our teams unearthed any more buys?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Ooh, I like that one. Try that one on.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Yes, I don't know whether it will be genuine.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- No, it isn't...- It's not, yes.- It's a bit plastic.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- No, it's a reproduction. - It looks too new.
0:17:14 > 0:17:1940 minutes in and the Reds still need two more items.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Yes, these are quite fun, though. Sort of funny old stools and things.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- Welsh cheese and milking stool. - Quite different, isn't it?- Yes.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- Yes, I quite like that.- Do people still cut cheese on the table?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33No, I don't think so, but people do buy, you said you liked wood,
0:17:33 > 0:17:38- people do like bits of treen, bits of vernacular furniture.- Yes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- It is quite collected.- Yes. - What about the price?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- It's 125 on that.- £125.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44It isn't 100 miles out.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46You want to get it a bit less really
0:17:46 > 0:17:49and there's the milking stool, which looks exactly the same.
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- It's a bit lower, isn't it? - Yes, it is a bit...- You want to fit under your low slung cow.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- I think they're quite cool. - Not your modern dairy cow.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I tell you what, sycamore. - That's £99.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00It is heavy. But you accept the fact that...
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Yes, I think it's quite cool with the marks there.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Yes, sort of bits. It's got a nice feel to it, actually.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- This is a lower price to start with from that.- Yes, that's...
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I'm not going to lie, I think the cheese is more unusual than the milk.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Yes.- Yes. Well, if you can get the price down.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- I guess it all comes down to price, doesn't it?- Yes, yes.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- OK, let me go and see him and I'll be back in a moment.- Thank you.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Good luck, Claire. Work your magic.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- OK, I've spoken to the gentleman. Yes. He'll do 95 on this one...- Yes.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31..or 75 on the milking stool.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34- And that's it, that's... - What would you say?
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- Well, you're about there with a chance on both of them, to be absolutely honest.- OK.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41This one, if you want to make a profit, we're going to be 100 plus.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- I like the cut marks.- I'd go for that one over that one.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45What's that, Lauren?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You like the 'udder' one? Sorry.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- 95? Happy?- Yes.- Brilliant.- Deal.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- I'll tell the man, he'll be very pleased.- OK.- Well done.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Too right, Claire. He'll be over the MOON.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Two down, one to go. - Two down, one to go.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Let's check in with the Blues.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06That's cute. You like that?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- That's nice, that. - CHILD IN BACKGROUND LAUGHS
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Ooh.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- I like that.- You like that?- Mm.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Is it heavy?- That is pure slate. - Yes?
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- Is it pure slate? Pure Welsh slate.- Yes.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- That's a really nice piece.- Have you heard of Welsh slate before?
0:19:22 > 0:19:23I know where it's made.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Wales!- Obviously, yes.- What part?
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Isn't it Blaenau? Blaenau Ffestiniog?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- You are...- I'm pretty sure. - ..educating me on this one.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32SOPHIE LAUGHS
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I love this, sort of, bit of carving here where you'd rest your pens.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Everyone uses a pen nowadays, don't they?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Well, this is a bit of artistic licence. Yes?- Oh, right.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45It could've been a dip pen in there, which is like an ink pen, but a dip pen.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47If I can just take that out and you hold the top,
0:19:47 > 0:19:48would you mind turning that over?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Look at that age on that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- Wow. It's been used.- It's got a bit of age, hasn't it? - It's definitely been used.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56I think it's early Victorian.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58I've done quite well with these Welsh slate things before,
0:19:58 > 0:20:00there are collectors for them. They're lovely.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Wow. - Quite a handsome thing. It's £48.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08- What do you think you're going to get it for?- £40.- Yes, I'm sure, can't we?- And a bit more.- Can't we?
0:20:08 > 0:20:0930?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12But it's our last item and we've got lots of money left.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- You've got lots of money left. - Lots of money left.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17But we don't want to spend a lot of money, do we?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19We need to make a good profit.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22You do, that's a very sensible, very sensible way forward.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Why don't you put that down,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27go and have a word with the stallholder and see what you can do?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- All right, I'll do my best. - Do your best.
0:20:29 > 0:20:30Right.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Go on, Joe! Do your best.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Oh, the suspense is killing me.
0:20:37 > 0:20:3940.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40Got eight quid off it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:4140. So, what do you think?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- I think so. - You think so?- You happy with that?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- Yes, I want it.- You happy with it?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Yes, I chose the first two, so I think I've got to.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53- The third and final.- Yes. - Our shopping is done.- Definitely.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Let's go and buy it now, come on.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Well done, Blues. You've gone great guns today.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02Now what have the Reds found?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07- Right, we need to find another thing. - Quicker looking. All right.- Right.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Oh, what's that? Is it a hammer?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- LAUREN LAUGHS - It looks like one. It's actually a powder measure.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20In the days when the guns had to be primed with black powder
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and you fired a, sort of, like a lead bullet out of them
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- rather than a cartridge, you had to...- Tip it in at the top.- Yes.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You had to have an exact measurement,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31otherwise you didn't do your gun a lot of good.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- That hasn't got a maker's mark on them, or...?- Yes.- Oh, good.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Shall I hold that one for you?- That one says "Ward and Son" on it.- Yes.
0:21:37 > 0:21:38- Right.- Thank you.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- DEALER:- Even got a... They actually work.- Oh, wow, look.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44If they haven't been used for 100 years...
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Yes, and see, you can alter the...on the side there,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- you've got a little...- The amount? - ..and the actual measurements.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I like that, it works, which is cool.- I don't think this one works.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- One's a shot measure and one's a powder measure.- OK, yes.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- DEALER:- Sometimes you get them just for powder or just for shot.- Yes.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03So, yes, because you've got, yes, yes, look.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Come on, team! Five minutes left!
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Do you reckon you could maybe do that one for 30?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Have a look at the book. - LAUREN LAUGHS
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- Yes, OK.- That's brilliant.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Are you sure?- Yes.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Brilliant, thank you. - Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22It's time to weigh in, because time's up.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24- That's it.- We're done.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Everything's done. Well done. - Very happy.- Excellent.- Thanks.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30So we'll have to keep our fingers crossed it all makes a profit.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31We're done. Thanks very much.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Well, there you have it, one hour, two teams and six items.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38They were sitting pretty with their first buy,
0:22:38 > 0:22:42the Dutch miniature silver chair cost them £55.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Next up, they're hoping to turn a profit
0:22:46 > 0:22:49with a milking chair after paying £95.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54And finally they took a pot shot at the brass powder measure.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56£30 was paid.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK, so how was it, team?
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- We had loads of fun, didn't we? - Really good fun, really enjoyed it.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04And did it come to you? Did it come to you?
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Those antiques came to us.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07Ollie, tell me, what was your favourite item?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Mine was the shot measure.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It was quite cool, quite quirky, quite cheap.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Tell me, Lauren, what will bring the biggest profit?
0:23:16 > 0:23:20- We bought a splendid little silver chair.- Silver chair?- Yes.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- That size?- Very, very small one. - It's very small but it's lovely.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- My goodness me, that could be very royal.- Yes.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27So, you spent how much in total?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- £180.- 180.- Oh, my goodness me.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32So, guys, that means you've got £120...
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Yes.- ..coming over to me. Moi.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Over to you, Claire. Good luck, what's the plan?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- Thank you, I'm not sure I've got one.- No plan?
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Might just formulate something. - You're a wise lady.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Get out of here! See you, Claire.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47On that happy note, let's check out how the Blues have done.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50First up, they were on the same wavelength
0:23:50 > 0:23:51when they bought their first item.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54The old radio cost them £35.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Next to make the cut was a shaving set. £26 paid.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04And their last item was a slate desk set and inkwell.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08They paid a rock bottom price of £40.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13So, Joe and Sophie, it wasn't quite down to the wire, was it?
0:24:13 > 0:24:14SOPHIE LAUGHS
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- No.- No. - This girl knows what she wants!
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And she really, really wants...
0:24:19 > 0:24:23If I said to you, Sophie, what's been your favourite buy today?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25My favourite buy was definitely the radio.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Were you wired up too for that radio?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Well, I liked it, but I think I preferred the, er,
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- writing quill set.- Really? OK. But you're lovebirds, aren't you?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So, if I said to you, what's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39- It's probably the radio.- Really? - Yeah.- Madam?- The radio.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- I like your style.- Definitely. - I like your style.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- So, tell me, you spent how much in total?- £101.- OK.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Which leaves me how much money left over?- 199.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Yes, I like your maths, there we are. Out it comes.
0:24:50 > 0:24:51Thanks ever so much.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Tom, 199 is a funny number, isn't it?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55199 is a funny number,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58but I feel tremendously hip with these two, because they're young.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01They're half my age. Can you believe that?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03So, I'm going to buy something.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Tom, I'm going to give you £199, mate.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08- Oh, good, mate.- What's the plan?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Well, the plan is to buy something hip and cool,
0:25:11 > 0:25:12cos I'm in with the in crowd.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15You're a Flash Harry. Get out of here, Tom. Get running.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17And while Tom's running, we're hopping,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20we're hopping to Cheshire with a big Cheshire grin
0:25:20 > 0:25:22to an auction in Northwich.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I'm at Northwich Auction Rooms with auctioneer, Peter Critchley.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Out with the Red team with Lauren and Ollie was Claire Rawle
0:25:42 > 0:25:46and their first buy at the Anglesey antiques fair
0:25:46 > 0:25:48was this very nice,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I think most collectable,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53silver hallmarked, wheel-backed, doll's house chair.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55What do you think of it?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I think it's quite nice. But it's very modern, 1978...
0:25:59 > 0:26:03And there isn't a deal of workmanship in it.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Some of the workmanship of some of those earlier ones
0:26:06 > 0:26:08is absolutely fabulous.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12There's dozens of hours of work. This is fairly straightforward.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14It is a silver chair, it is hallmarked
0:26:14 > 0:26:17and these things are always popular, but I think, really,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20it's not going to set the world on fire.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25- What's it worth here today in Northwich?- We're looking at £40-£60.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Hmm, OK, well, it needs to run a bit
0:26:28 > 0:26:34- because they paid £55 after much negotiation.- 55, we may get there.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36You think so? I hope so.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Well, rolling on from the chair, which isn't a rocker, is it, sadly?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Not really.- Not yet, anyway. We go to three legs.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47This very nice Welsh milking stool, which could be a cheese stool.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50You can use raised platters to cut cheeses on,
0:26:50 > 0:26:54but that hasn't got cut marks on it that we'd expect,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- so we would think it is probably a milking stool.- It is 19th century.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- It has a wonderful patination. - Clearly the top has some age.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Probably a bit more aged than the legs.- What's it worth?
0:27:03 > 0:27:08- We've put 30-50.- How much?- 30-50.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12The three of them were very keen to buy it and it was £95.
0:27:12 > 0:27:18- £95 is very strong, but...- Peter... - ..I don't think we will get there.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19..you need to pick me up now.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Things are looking a little dicey for the Reds.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Their third and final item, tell me about it.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30It is a powder item that you use to fill your shotgun cartridges with.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34It's very nicely made and it's probably 120 years old.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- What's it worth?- 20-40.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- That's a wide guide.- 20-40, it's a good guide.- Will it hit the target?
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- I hope it will.- Let me tell you, it cost our team £30.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It certainly stands a chance.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48Well, Peter, based on the three buys, I think
0:27:48 > 0:27:51the stool is a little insecure.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54With that thought in mind, they may need their bonus buy,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58and let's find out what Claire found in Anglesey.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Lauren and Ollie, you spent the grand total of how much money?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- £180.- £180.
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- Leaving Mrs Rawle...- Mmm.- ..£120.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- Claire, feeling confident? - Oh, yes, I always feel confident.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- Will it make money?- Positive. - OK, let's reveal this.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19- Wow!- Ooh.- Well, I remembered your interest in militaria.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23This is a Princess Mary First World War Christmas tin
0:28:23 > 0:28:26they sent out to the troops, usually with chocolates and things.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Sadly, no contents,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30but I did buy something else that was with it, which is
0:28:30 > 0:28:34a Lusitania medallion, which was cast in memory of the Lusitania,
0:28:34 > 0:28:38which, of course, was sunk by the Germans. Do you want have a look?
0:28:38 > 0:28:39It's very shiny.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43This is, I suppose, Claire, real militaria maritime history
0:28:43 > 0:28:47from that time of that very sad Great War.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49Well, that's right, yes, exactly.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52There are a lot of these tins around, but they still sell really well.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Obviously, if they have the contents in there, they make a lot of money.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I've never seen anything like this before and think it looks quite nice
0:28:58 > 0:29:01and it's quite worn, so you can see the age on it.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- How much did you pay for them? - OK, I spent £25 on the two.- On both?
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Yeah, yeah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I think that's quite good because the tins alone, I quite often see making
0:29:10 > 0:29:16over £20-£25, so I'm hoping this will make between 30-40, maybe £45.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17I think it's an inspired buy.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20I think for Queen and country, and for the viewers at home,
0:29:20 > 0:29:25let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Claire's tin and token.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31Well, Peter, I learned from Claire quite quickly she's a great
0:29:31 > 0:29:33lover of social history.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36If this object could talk, and there's not just one thing
0:29:36 > 0:29:39but two here, what could it tell us?
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It's a Princess Mary chocolate tin or cigarette tin or tobacco tin
0:29:43 > 0:29:45depending on what you wanted in the First World War.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47It was given to every man in uniform
0:29:47 > 0:29:50so there were over a million of them made.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52I thought Claire was quite clever here.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- She's also bought this to go with it.- It's a Lusitania medal.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59What would you get for the two together?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- We've estimated 40-60 for the two. - Have you really?
0:30:02 > 0:30:04The medal's in good condition
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- but the box is a little bit bashed about.- Well, Claire is in luck.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- She only paid £25 for the two together.- She should do well.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15For me, I would hope they might come together and make £45-£50.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18I would hope so too. They're worth that each.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So on a buzz with the Reds,
0:30:20 > 0:30:26let's find out what Tom did with his contestants, Joe and Sophie,
0:30:26 > 0:30:30and their first buy is a pretty spectacular radio.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- I wouldn't perhaps go as far as spectacular.- Jazzy then?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- Jazzy's a better word.- How do you rate it?- We see a few of them.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42It's nice, clean condition but the acid test is often
0:30:42 > 0:30:45when you plug it in and turn it on, which we did and nothing happened.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50- No, no. What's it worth? - We've said 20-40.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- Double up, boy, because they paid £35 for it...- £35.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57..and, to me, this is very much the antique of the future,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01which I think will become more vintage and more collectible,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04so, for £35, it could be in trouble.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Anyway, we then go to what I think is a particularly nice
0:31:07 > 0:31:09shaving mirror.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Tell me about it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Well, we see it as probably late Victorian.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17A fairly artisan cup.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20It's amateur-made, the base, certainly.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23But it's got the single-sided mirror.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- It's got the badger brush on it. - I quite like it, Peter.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- What's it worth?- We thought 60-80.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- How much?- We thought £60-£80.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Really? Why so much?
0:31:34 > 0:31:39- It's just the right combination. We rather like that.- Really?
0:31:39 > 0:31:44- We could be on a high, because they only paid £26...- £26?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47..so you're predicting possibly trebling up?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51Possibly, although nothing's guaranteed as you well know.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54It's the roller-coaster of the auction.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Sophie and Joe then came across an object which, I suppose,
0:31:57 > 0:32:02to them was very close to home. This very nice Welsh slate ink stand.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Do you like it?- No.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Why not?- It's very heavy. It's very plain.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15It has a non-conforming inkwell, which is glued in.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- What's it worth, Peter, cometh the hour?- We think 30-50, Charles.
0:32:19 > 0:32:2430-50? Well, that's not too bad. It cost them 40.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26We're sitting in the middle.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31We're not on thin ice, so it could be a near miss or a near win.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36- It stands a chance.- Well, if this shaving stand does so well,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- they might not need the bonus buy... - They may not.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41..but, as always, for the viewers at home,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44let's find out what Thomas Plant found for the true Blues.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- So how are the nearly-married couple?- Good, thank you.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Still together?- Yeah. - I can't believe it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:59You only spent £101, leaving Thomas £199 to go go.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03It's really good, isn't it, 199. It's price point, isn't it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Now, I had a lot of money. Did I spend it? What do you reckon?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- I don't think you have.- You don't think I have?
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- I reckon you spent it all.- Oh. - Wow!- I bought this.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19This is a retro or vintage Smith's clock.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22It's electric or you could put a quartz movement in there,
0:33:22 > 0:33:28but, primarily, Sophie, I bought it for you because you love vintage.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30You're the easy one to buy for.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I think Welsh is quite difficult, I'm sorry.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35Have a look at it and tell me what you think.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- It's definitely different, isn't it? - It's very kitsch. It's quite now.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Joe, you're open-mouthed. - Um, I think it's awful.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- You think it's awful?- I think it looks horrible.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Oh, no, you're still together, right?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- Could you not see it on our wall? - No.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Cos it's in great condition, I spent the grand total of £20 on it.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Oh, wow.- Yeah.- That's good.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03This could make £30-£50.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- I like it.- For the viewers at home,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07let's find out what the auctioneer
0:34:07 > 0:34:10thinks about Tom's very, very retro,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12vintage, 1950s' clock.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17So, Peter, Tom, he went all retro,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19because he bought this.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23- A Metamec electric clock. - Isn't it stylish?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27It is, it is. I mean, I think a lot of people threw a lot of those away
0:34:27 > 0:34:29in the '60s and '70s and '80s,
0:34:29 > 0:34:33but they're certainly making a comeback now, the colours.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34It's in good condition.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37It's in good condition, it may work, we have not tested it.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- What's it worth?- We've said £30-£50.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43That's good, because it only cost Tom £20.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I think that'll do OK.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And I will be very surprised, and quite disappointed,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50if it didn't make £35.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51- So would I.- Peter, the clock's ticking.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- The clock's ticking.- Are you taking the auction?- I am.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Gavel at the ready?- Gavel at the ready.- Let's go.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03OK, Peter, the room looks raring to go,
0:35:03 > 0:35:05so hold tight.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Are you buzzing?- Yes.- Yeah, good. Hold tight.- OK.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09- Enjoy the ride.- Thank you.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11It can be a roller-coaster.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Your first lot, that wonderful silver backed armchair,
0:35:14 > 0:35:15it's coming up now.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17London 1978,
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I've got commission interest at
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- £20 only, £20 I have.- Oh! - That's cheap.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25I look for 25 and I've got 30.
0:35:25 > 0:35:2735? 35 in the room.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29The room has it at 35.
0:35:29 > 0:35:3040, back of the room.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- 45, Sir? No? - Come on!
0:35:32 > 0:35:34That's £40, it is £40.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- £40 for you, sir.- Oh, no, we've sold,
0:35:37 > 0:35:39which means we're £15 down.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42It cost you 55, sold for 40, 15 down.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- A long way to go. - Next, we have lot number 467.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Here it comes, second lot, that wonderful cheese stool.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I'll start the bidding at £40.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52£40 I have, I have with me at £40.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Hovering online?
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Do you want 45, online?
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Don't hover!
0:35:57 > 0:35:58- Buy it.- Hovering,
0:35:58 > 0:35:59can't wait any longer, sorry.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Hovering, online. £40.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Oh, my God. Goodness me,
0:36:04 > 0:36:05I don't believe it.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07We're £55 down, which makes £70 down.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10We're 70 down, but the shot measure is coming up now.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12This really needs to impress.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Cost you 30, guide between 20 and 40.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16The back of the room has it at £10,
0:36:16 > 0:36:1812 online, 15, sir?
0:36:18 > 0:36:2015, 18? 20...
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Go on.- Come on, says Lauren.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2325, 30...
0:36:23 > 0:36:2625, lady seated, 25.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28- Oh, I don't believe it!- A fiver!
0:36:28 > 0:36:31We have slithered a loss at a fiver,
0:36:31 > 0:36:32cost you 30.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35We're now grandly, but not out,
0:36:35 > 0:36:36£75 down.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Anyway, cometh the hour,
0:36:39 > 0:36:40cometh this lady, cometh Claire.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Cometh the Bonus Buy.- The hero.
0:36:43 > 0:36:44Knight in shining armour.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- And there she is. - It's got to go some, hasn't it?
0:36:46 > 0:36:49I'll tell you what, there's still one Big Dipper left in this ride,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and that is your Christmas tin,
0:36:52 > 0:36:53together with medallion.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I know, Ollie, you're a great militaria fan.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Yes.- Is it a foregone conclusion?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00We've got to go for it and I think it will do well.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Lauren, we're only £75 down, it could be a winning score.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- I have great faith, so much faith. - In Claire.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- Yes, let's do this. - Let's do it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Well, let me tell you, the auctioneer's really behind it,
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- he's put a sparkling guide price on of between 40 and 60.- Awesome.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16It only cost you £25.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20Personally, I feel it may even be worth a bit,
0:37:20 > 0:37:21so hold tight, team.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- No pressure.- No, none at all, no. - There's a long way to go.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26Let's see how it goes.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28And it's coming up now.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Here we are.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Cost you 25, guide between 40 and 60.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33I think it has legs.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35£35, then, a commission bid,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38for the two items, for the medal
0:37:38 > 0:37:39and the Christmas tin.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I have 35, is there 40 anywhere?
0:37:42 > 0:37:4335.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45ALL: Oh!
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- It was getting close. - Again, we salute you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- A bit of profit, yes. - That there is absolutely...
0:37:49 > 0:37:53And, you never know, that £10 profit could help in your winning score.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54You are less £65.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58It's a hard old game and I think you had a hard deal today.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- However, £65 is no bad feat... - Not too shabby.- No.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03..and you never know,
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- it could be a winning score. - Yes.- Well done.- Thank you.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- How nervous are you feeling?- Quite nervous.- Is it your first auction?
