0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, the show comes from the Westpoint Antiques Fair in Exeter.
0:00:04 > 0:00:06Tim has passed the reins to me
0:00:06 > 0:00:09and I'm getting togged up for some high-speed action.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11ENGINE WHIRRS
0:00:11 > 0:00:1614.9 million. Sold!
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Now, for those of you that don't know, classic cars are my passion.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Auctioning them really gets me fired up...
0:00:22 > 0:00:28- For the third and the last time, sold! 9.4 million.- Congratulations.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32But nothing beats the high octane thrill of presenting Bargain Hunt.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Come on, let's go bargain hunting.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03We're here at the Westpoint Antiques Fair in Exeter
0:01:03 > 0:01:07and we've two teams really hoping to hit the big time.
0:01:07 > 0:01:12But first, let's see what's coming up.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15The Reds find their ideal man...
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- You have a thing for the uniform, is it?- Yeah.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22..and the Blues have a quacking time.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- Quack.- No, not the duck. - Not the duck. Kate. Send that back.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30And there's excitement over at the auction.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32£2.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Oh, yeah. Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40So, let's meet the teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Now, today, we've got two mums and two daughters.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And for the Red team we have Samantha and Diane,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52and for the Blue team, Megan and Elaine.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53- Hello, everyone. - ALL: Hello!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56- Very nice to see you.- And you. - Now, Samantha, I'm told
0:01:56 > 0:01:59you're not really mum and daughter, are you? You're best chums.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Yes. Yeah, more like best chums. Definitely.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- I'll agree with that.- Is that right? - Yes.- You're the same age?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09- No.- I wish.- Half a year's difference.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And what do you spend your life doing?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Oh, well, me and Mum do a little bit of rollerblading
0:02:13 > 0:02:15together in our spare time.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18I have three children at home, so they keep me very busy,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21but in my meantime, I've just fully qualified
0:02:21 > 0:02:24for painting and decorating and now I'm setting up business.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- So, where did you get all this interest from.- My mum.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Very young age, yes.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Very arty, crafty, paint-and-decorate, all sorts, so...
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Yeah.- Is that true, Mum? - Oh, of course.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Yeah, I've gone back to college, so I can get my degrees,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39and then we can do business together.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Who's going to be the boss?
0:02:41 > 0:02:45- Both of us. Yeah.- Equal, equal. We don't have to boss each other around
0:02:45 > 0:02:47cos we work very well together, so I don't have to boss her...
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Can you add up? Who's going to do the accounts?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- My mum, definitely...- I am, cos I've had to go back to college
0:02:52 > 0:02:55to do accounts, as well as the painting and decorating.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Have you? Now, you also read tarot cards, don't you?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I do. I like the esoteric knowledge.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09Reiki-practitioner, crystal therapy and read tarot cards, rune stones...
0:03:09 > 0:03:11So, what are the tarot cards telling you?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Oh, that we're going to be guided to the right items for the right
0:03:14 > 0:03:17price and the right choice. Yes.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19No trouble, really. No trouble, at all.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23- Hopefully, not.- Well, Megan, I hope you listened to all that.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Now, what do you spend your life doing?- I study psychology at...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Psychology?- Yeah. - Brunel University in London.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- And what made you do psychology? - I just really enjoyed it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- I've always enjoyed being around people and...- Yes.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36And dealing with people, so it seemed like a great choice for me
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and I got to do a year's worth of work placement, as part of my degree.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Did you?- Yeah, so I spent six months
0:03:41 > 0:03:43working in a children's psychiatric unit.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Mm-hmm.- And I spent six months mentoring ex-offenders.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- HE GASPS - That sounds quite scary.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51It was quite scary, but it was very rewarding, as well.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I'm sure, I'm sure. And what else do you do in your spare time?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, at the moment I do a lot of dance and choreography and
0:03:58 > 0:04:03musical theatre, but I used to be a competitive cheerleader, previously.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07A competitive cheerleader. What is a competitive cheerleader?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Well, instead of just having the pom-poms
0:04:09 > 0:04:12and doing the basketball games, we compete at national competitions.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I used to do it with my university, with lots of throwing
0:04:15 > 0:04:19the girls around and dance and tumbling, so... It was good fun.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21If I may say so, Mum, this sounds rather dangerous.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22It's really quite scary.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25They throw the girls up in the air really quite a long way.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28That sounds horrible. It sounds like being on the touchline
0:04:28 > 0:04:30when your son is playing rugby or something.
0:04:30 > 0:04:31Yes, it is. It's equally...
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Yes, I have a son who plays rugby and that was equally scary.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36So, when you're not cheering, and bandaging them up,
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- what are you doing? - I work in publishing.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- I write indexes for books and I'm also a proof reader.- Proof reader?
0:04:44 > 0:04:46You must have huge powers of concentration.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- You do need to concentrate quite a lot.- Yeah.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I think people mistake the ability to read with
0:04:51 > 0:04:54the ability to proof-read and the two are very, very different skills.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57You're also studying for a degree or a Masters, I think?
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Yes, that's right. Yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I did a degree with the Open University a few years ago
0:05:01 > 0:05:05and I graduated in 2011 and I decided to follow that up with
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- a Masters degree at Bristol. I'm reading History of Art.- Are you?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Mm-hmm.- That should come in handy today, shouldn't it?
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- Oh, I hope so, I hope so. - Now, you need a bit of dosh.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- We do.- Certainly. - 300, for you.- Thank you.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24And with any luck, 300, for you. Off you go and have a fantastic time.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Thank you! Bye.- Brilliant.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Taking the reins with the Reds today is Colin Young
0:05:35 > 0:05:39and with the Blues, always a good turn, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- So, what are we going to be looking for?- Erm...
0:05:47 > 0:05:51- Something stylish, something classy. - Very elegant, beautiful.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Are the items going to find you or are you going to find them?
0:05:53 > 0:05:56We're going to be divinely guided to an item.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- It's going to stand out.- Yeah.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59So, basically, something fast and something cheap.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Yep, pretty much. - That's right.- No pressure, then(!)
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Right, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Full steam ahead, Mr Bosun. Full steam ahead.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Let's start up here.- OK, yeah.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Straight from the off,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20the Blues have found something glitzy and girlie.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22There's a little compact, there.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I don't know whether that's your thing.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27That's for Kigu, which is a really well-known brand,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31actually a British brand, in manufacturing compacts.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- This looks very much '50s. - Is there anything in it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:37That's where your lipstick would have been. You kept your powder under here.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Does it flick up, or...? - Just there.- There, see?- Oh...
0:06:40 > 0:06:42You would have a little powder puff in there, to puff your nose.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45So, did you use something like this, Elaine? I mean,
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- you're talking very knowledgeably about it.- No, my mother had one.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52The price is 55, on there. Do you know what I like about it?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I like the fact that you've got the lovely little bevelled mirror.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- Do you see?- Yeah.- This one has got a great name, you know,
0:06:58 > 0:07:03- the Kigu name is very well known. - OK.- But we think 55 is too much.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09I would say anything from £25-£50, on a good day.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13Would you go down, maybe, to 30, if we're really cheeky?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15The best, 38.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Maybe 35?
0:07:18 > 0:07:2036, that's it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I think it's got a chance, at that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25The market for these sort of things is very much on the up.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29You know, vintage is very in at the moment. They're good investments.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- Yes?- Go on, then.- Yes, we'll take it. - First item done. Thank you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38First item in the bag. They're all made-up. Ha, couldn't resist it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- So, girls, that took you about six minutes.- Is that all?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Six minutes?- Doing well.- I love it when a plan comes together.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Meanwhile, the Reds need to get a move on
0:07:48 > 0:07:50but it seems they're all at sea.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Mum likes the sailor things. - You do?- Yes.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- You have a thing for the uniform, is it?- Yeah.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01The manufacturer of these, Norah Wellings, very, very popular.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Plenty of them out there in the market.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Date-wise, they're probably going to be post-war, but only just.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09When they were still very, very popular
0:08:09 > 0:08:12and people were still looking at things that were, you know,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14commemorating what had gone on in the war.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Pricing?- £25.- £17. How much is yours?
0:08:17 > 0:08:22- It's not too bad.- £17.- Do you think we'd make it profit on it?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24There is the chance of a fiver loss,
0:08:24 > 0:08:27there's a chance of a little bit out on it.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Interesting piece, the face, there.- One option.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Keep it as an option for later. - Definitely, yeah.- OK?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35And while we're on a nautical theme...
0:08:35 > 0:08:37What's floating your boat?
0:08:37 > 0:08:41I really like things that are silver and, like, velvet, as well.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Like the pincushions. - With the pincushions, yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Things that have, like, multi-audience appeal.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Yeah, cos then, you would buy them, if you like silver
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- or if you like pincushions or if you collect small animals.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Have you done this before?
0:08:53 > 0:08:59Pincushions are great sellers, cos you've got sewing collectors.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- These are some really nice examples, though, which means expensive.- Yeah.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06There's some little miniature chairs, little silver chairs.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- No, I don't like those. - You don't like those? OK.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Hi, there.- Hello.- It's us. Hi.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15You haven't got a pincushion that's a little bit more affordable,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- have you, by any chance?- No.- No?
0:09:18 > 0:09:19While we leave the Blues pondering,
0:09:19 > 0:09:22the Reds are ready to drive a hard bargain.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Set of cars, down there.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Don't think they'll make very much profit on them, would they,
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- at that price...- No, it's only a few pounds apiece, play-worn...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32I think it's time to rev up those Reds.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- And...- How's it going, girls?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- And boys.- Lovely, thank you. - Spent all your dosh?
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- No, not spent a penny yet. - No.- You haven't spent a penny yet?
0:09:40 > 0:09:41No, we've not been guided to the item yet.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44It's great that you've turned up, Charlie, because
0:09:44 > 0:09:46I know that one of your areas of expertise
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- is auctioneering in the automotive areas.- Absolutely.- Ah, wonderful.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So, we've been looking at if you have these. Should we be doing it?
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Absolutely.- Really?
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- What you need to go is the earlier ones, though.- Early.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02As early as possible and, hopefully, they'll have the paint on.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- OK.- If they're missing the paint and the tyres
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and if you can find something boxed...
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Oh.- M & B, mint and boxed. That's what we like.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- M & B.- Mint and boxed.- Leave you to it.- OK. Thanks, Charlie.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- Thank you.- That's great help, because they haven't got any boxes.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- So, I think we'd better keep going.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Meanwhile, it's back to the Blues, wherever they are.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28I've lost them.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Where'd you go?- Sorry. - Where'd you go?- Sorry.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- We got distracted by the things that were silver and glass.- Oh.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38All right, OK. What have you spotted?
0:10:38 > 0:10:43- I like the one with the engine turned top.- That's lovely.- But £220.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Right. OK, better rein you in a bit, I think.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50The Reds still haven't bought their first item. Come on, Reds.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I'm glad you found something,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- because we've had 15 minutes already and bought nothing.- OK, yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Well, I think this is lovely.- You know what it is?- That is stunning.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- I think it's a smoker's box.- Yeah, absolutely.- For holding tobacco.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- It's mahogany, as well. - And the jar's in there, as well.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- That's stunning. - Can I hand it to you, very slowly?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Very slowly, yes. Just in case.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- There we are.- There we go. And going to have a bit of a guess on date?
0:11:11 > 0:11:16- About 1945.- 1945, yeah?- I'll go with my mum, yeah.- That's not bad.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18OK. That's probably the newest it's going to be.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22The jar that's inside it is one of those jars that...
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Did it originally go with it? Probably not. Does it quite fit?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Not quite. But it's all going to come down to money.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30If it went to auction, the estimate
0:11:30 > 0:11:34I would place on it would be 25 to 40, so what's being asked for it?
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- That's going to be the question. - Oh, £40.- Marked at 40.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Well, you've got to do some serious damage on that price...- OK.- OK.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44..to actually stand a chance of making a profit in the sale.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46We were just looking at this item.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Yes?- I was wondering if you would be able to do it at a lower price
0:11:48 > 0:11:50than what it's marked up for, at all, please?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I can do you 20 on that. - That's a deal.- Brilliant, lovely.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Thank you. - Thank you very much. Brilliant.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58£20. That's half the original asking price,
0:11:58 > 0:12:01which is a smoking deal, girls.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Kate has finally caught up with the Blues.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05What have you found?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's a basket.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Let's have a closer look.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Great, thank you.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16This is silver-plated, rather than silver.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19It's done by a very well-known company in Germany.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- So, you see on the label, it says WMF?- Mm-hmm.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Well, that stands for Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- It's quite a mouthful, isn't it?- OK.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33But basically, it's a metal factory,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36in Wurttemberg, in Germany, is what it's saying.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39But the WMF factory were very well-known for making really
0:12:39 > 0:12:44stylish Jugendstil, which is the German equivalent of Art Nouveau.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Shall we just ask the best price? - About £38, best.- OK.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52The thing that I like about it is that it's not very expensive.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55We can always keep it on the backburner.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- Yeah.- Can't we?- Good decision.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00The Reds also have their eyes on something shiny.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02What sort of money are you looking for on these?
0:13:02 > 0:13:07This is 170.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08- 170.- 170.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10These spill vases were placed on a mantelpiece
0:13:10 > 0:13:13and were used to hold firelighters -
0:13:13 > 0:13:17either rolled-up paper or thin sticks of wood, called spill.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:24- Silver, Birmingham, 19... No, 1894, they are.- Oh, lovely.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Yeah, so good Victorian model. - Yes.- You've got a good combination
0:13:27 > 0:13:30of designs on there, because you've got this rococo scroll
0:13:30 > 0:13:32that's happening around the base.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- I love the bows. - Very neo-classical, as well.- Yes.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37It's a mixture of styles, it is.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Now, the problem that you have with these can be
0:13:39 > 0:13:42the damage around there, so we're just going to hold it up to the
0:13:42 > 0:13:46light and just see if we've got any edges and problems with them.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- Run your finger through... - There's no damage.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50No, it's nice and clean.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Marked at 170.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Would you be able to do them slightly cheaper,
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- at all, for us, please?- Oh... 145.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- 145. What do you think? - It's not bad.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03We're getting a good price knocked off there, actually, yeah.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06I think 145 is OK,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09but for the miracles that we've got to perform at auction...
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Would he knock them down any more?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Would he knock the price down any more, for us?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- OK, 40. 140.- Yes!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Look at the pain in his eyes. - Thank you. Thank you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24- You're going to get your money back, you know?- Yes.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29That's two items down for the Reds and £140 left to spend.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31The Blues are looking for some glassware -
0:14:31 > 0:14:35preferably something that will clear a profit.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37It's only £38 and it's blue.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It's, sort of, very much '60s, in shape, I would say. It's great.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43It makes me think of the Scandinavian designers.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Mm-hmm, it says it's...Riihimaki.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48What do we think about this one, though?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- I think that's sort of thing I would buy.- Is that the colour you like?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- It's a great shape, isn't it? - Yeah. I think that's really...
0:14:54 > 0:14:56That was 58, price-wise.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59I've just got to check there aren't any chips are cracks,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- with glass, obviously, really important.- Yeah.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I like that better than the WMF thing that we just looked at, so...
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Right. OK.- I like the blue one more than I like that one.- Do you?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I do like that one, but I just like the blue one more.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14OK.
0:15:14 > 0:15:20Erm... I think we'd better see what sort of money we're talking.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22While Kate goes off to do some haggling,
0:15:22 > 0:15:26the Reds are also thinking of some VAST profits.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28The thing that's interesting about it
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- is actually that pink ground that's on it.- Yes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Because a lot of them are fairly beige and boring...- Yeah.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35..whereas that's got a little bit of a fleck on it that's
0:15:35 > 0:15:38just a little bit different in palette.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- What sort of money are you looking for on it?- That's up for 65.- OK.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- But...45 would be a fair... - 45 you would be able to do that for.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49The number one thing is, is there any damage?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Well, that's actually not damage or breakage.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54That's actually a shrinkage that's happened in the kiln.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's actually a firing crack and, really,
0:15:57 > 0:16:01that's nothing to worry about on this. Looks to be in good order.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Can't really find any problems with it,
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- but it's not tremendously valuable. - Yeah.- What do you think?
0:16:08 > 0:16:09I think we should look somewhere else
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- for our last item.- I thought that.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Back with the Blues, Kate has some news.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- I've done a bit of swotting up.- OK.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Riihimaki glass, it is Finnish.- OK.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- Scandinavian glass is very much on the up.- Yup.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- And certainly, the internet is a really good place for this.- OK.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- so we know our auction's online, so that's going to help.- That's good.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- You like this one and then the two blue ones?- Yeah.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34Well, this is marked at 58.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Now, the stallholder's gone down to 35 on that, on the green one.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Right, that's good.- And actually,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43I think that's a brilliant price reduction.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46The thing I like about this one is that there is a designer
0:16:46 > 0:16:50attributed to it, so we can't just catalogue it as Riihimaki.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55We can say it's Riihimaki and it's by Tamara Aladin.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Now, Tamara Aladin was associated with designs very much
0:16:58 > 0:17:02from the late '50s through to about 1975,
0:17:02 > 0:17:04so that also helps us to date it
0:17:04 > 0:17:07because the factory started in about 1910
0:17:07 > 0:17:09and they're still making glassware,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- although...- I'm happy with that. You like it, don't you?- I love it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:19Tamara Aladin, Riihimaki Finnish glass. Let's hope it does it. 35.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- It's got to have its...genie. - Genie?- From Aladdin's genie.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- Aladin. Aladdin. Pull the genie out, and...- It's a good omen.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- Shall I go and do the deal? - Yes, please.- See you in a bit.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Great.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34And if you could have three wishes, ladies,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38I'm sure they would be profit, profit and more profit.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Now, I have a question...
0:17:41 > 0:17:45What do you think this is? Oil? Wrong.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Vinegar? Wrong.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50Something to do with communion? Wrong.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55In my pocket, I have the answer, and here it comes. A little label.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59Whisky. Yes, it's a noggin.
0:17:59 > 0:18:05If you went to Scotland, sitting round a baronial table somewhere,
0:18:05 > 0:18:07everybody would have one of these.
0:18:07 > 0:18:12You could then administer the wonderful liquid yourself.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Pour your own Scotch to taste on to the haggis and the neeps
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and the mashed potatoes.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24And I just love the idea of being able to serve up your own whisky,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28rather than having to pass around a bottle or a decanter.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32It dates from 1910, this particular one.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36The bottle itself is made by Levi & Salaman, of Birmingham.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39The label is by Hukin & Heath,
0:18:39 > 0:18:43very famous and made a lot of things for that
0:18:43 > 0:18:46wonderful iconic designer Christopher Dresser.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I think it's a charming, charming object.
0:18:48 > 0:18:54I paid £165 for this, because I simply loved it and I notice,
0:18:54 > 0:18:59quite encouragingly, that somebody's got one for sale for £230 today.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02Well bought, Ross.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04One problem.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07It's empty.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Back with the shopping,
0:19:08 > 0:19:13both teams have two items apiece and there is 20 minutes left.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- We don't do figurines... - No, we don't do porcelain.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17You don't do figurines? OK.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- Wow, I like that.- Do you want to go closer and have a look, Sam?- Yeah.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- You do like it? - Pop round and have a quick look.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Stunning, I like that.- OK, we're going to have a look at it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- I can tell you a little bit about it.- OK.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31It's actually late 19th, early 20th century. It's oak again.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Those sorts of griffins, it's very much in the Jacobean style,
0:19:34 > 0:19:36it's a, sort of, 17th-Century design
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- but revival back up into the early 20th century.- Yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Now, as for money on it, 195, you'd have to get one
0:19:43 > 0:19:48heck of a whack out of that to actually get it down, so...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- I think we should go for something cheaper.- Yeah.- Something cheaper?
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Meanwhile, back with the Blues...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- Quack.- No, not the duck. - Not the duck.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Now, are you sitting comfortably?
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Then let's see what the Reds are looking at.- That is beautiful.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- I like that.- It's gorgeous, isn't it?- It is fantastic.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10That's going to be something that certainly is no newer
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- than 1920, could be as old as around 1900.- OK.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16That's the, sort of, period that that drops into.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It's all going to come down to, "Is there repairs,
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- "damage and the rest of it?" - Doesn't look like it.- No.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- That looks fine, doesn't it? Yup.- Yes.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's got a fairly high-sheen varnish on it, so we'll pop that back.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31At auction, if that went in with an estimate of £30-£50
0:20:31 > 0:20:35and it ended up making 70 or 80, you wouldn't bat an eyelid.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Yeah.- If it went to auction with an estimate of 50 to 80, I think
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- you'd scare a few people off. - That's yet another item rejected.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Come on, teams. You haven't got all day.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50We made such a great start and, you know, they really know what
0:20:50 > 0:20:53they like, but now, I don't know where the time's gone.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Where has the time gone?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58What in the world have those Reds found now?
0:20:58 > 0:21:03I love this globe, it's stunning. So, I just imagine one of those
0:21:03 > 0:21:05old quaint places that have got one of these globes.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08It has got the damage, which is reflected in the price,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10so it's, sort of, all right.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13But then, it's a total flip of a coin, when you go to auction.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Would you knock it down a little bit in price for us?
0:21:17 > 0:21:22- - I'd do it for 90, for example. - 90?- 90? What do you think?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24That's pretty good. What does your heart go with, Mum?
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Cos I normally go with you on these things when we're stuck on something.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- I'd say, to make me famous, you want it for 80.- Yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:3280, so competition's on.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- I was just going to ask him that. - Competition's on. Excellent.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38While the Reds mull over world economics,
0:21:38 > 0:21:41the Blues are clear about one thing.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I wonder if it's a glass rolling pin.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48Do you know, glass rolling pins were made in the Victorian period.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51This is a much later one, I think. There's something quite...
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- We found a glass rolling pin. - Know anything about it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Are you a baker?- No.- No!
0:21:57 > 0:22:00We are going to go out of this world and see what happens,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03but we'll try and bargain our price down to 75, instead of 80.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04- All right, OK.- We were wondering,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07would you maybe go down to 75 on that?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I know it's pushing it a little bit, but would that be possible, at all?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- Yes, that'll be fine. We'll get the deal done.- 75, lovely.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Oh, fantastic, thank you.- There's a lot going on here today, so...
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Time is money.- Thank you so much. Thank you, lovely.- Thank you.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25With time running out, Kate has spotted something.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28And it's only £20.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's not particularly old.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34It's not an antique, but I think it's highly commercial.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- The lady's just come down to £10. - Oh, really?- Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42It's Burleigh Ware, which is a very well known British manufacturer.
0:22:42 > 0:22:49- Arden is the pattern.- Is it damaged? - No, as far as I can see it's...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- Transfer-printed?- Yeah, it's transfer-printed, absolutely right.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- You're so knowledgeable.- It's not particularly old, but it's...
0:22:55 > 0:22:59- Commercial.- ..very commercial. What's the absolute rock bottom?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- Really, really, really, please. - Rock bottom.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- We have to win...- How about 7?
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Not satisfied with that and, with just three minutes left,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11something else has caught Elaine's eye.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14It's a piece of art pottery.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19You've got to ask yourself, "Who is going to like the look of it?"
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Because it hasn't got a famous designer or a famous artist
0:23:22 > 0:23:25associated with it, it's, literally, on its decorative appeal.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30- What's the best price on this one, madam?- I'll come down to 10.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I like both of them. I think... Cracking choices.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Just seconds left, Blues. So, what's it to be? The jug or the bowl?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40This gets my vote.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Yeah, I think we should go for that. - I think that's a wider market.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Yeah, I think you're right. - £7.- Bargain.- Bargain.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- I think so.- We'll have it, yeah. - Great. Are we done?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Say goodbye to the jug. - Say goodbye to the jug.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Right, teams, your time is up.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- They don't even need a stopwatch with our team.- Oh, no. We did it.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Makes a change, us. We're on time. - We are the A-Team.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04- That was really odd. I thought we started off so well.- You did.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- On that first one... - And then, we descended into panic.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14Now, let's remind ourselves just what the Red team have bought...
0:24:14 > 0:24:16They struck a good deal on this
0:24:16 > 0:24:21early 20th-century smoker's compendium.
0:24:21 > 0:24:27They hope these Victorian spill vases will light up the sale-room.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32And, ATLASt - get it? - this should get the bidders in a spin.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Have you had a good time, girls? - Lovely time, thanks.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- Really enjoyed it?- Yes. - Behaved yourselves?- Yes, just about.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Has the old man been all right? - Yes, he's been fine.- Very helpful.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Very good.- Old man? - What's your favourite lot?
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Vases. Silver vases. - The silver vases?- Yes, yeah.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51And what's going to make the biggest profit?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Maybe the smoking box, because we paid so little for it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- Yeah, we hope it's... Keep fingers crossed.- How much did you spend?
0:24:58 > 0:25:02- £235.- Did you?- Yes.- Bravo.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06- 65, to give to me?- Yes.- Yeah. - There we are.- You're very kind.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11- Well, £65...young man. - Thank you very much.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12What are you going to spend it on?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15I'm going to be buying something you've not really seen before.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Something different and I'm going to try
0:25:17 > 0:25:23- and blow as much of it as possible. - That's what we like.- Oh, yes.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Now, let's go and see what the Blue team have bought.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30They bought this 1950s ladies' compact and lipstick case
0:25:30 > 0:25:34and, at £36, they think it's pretty pucker.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37This Finnish glass vase, designed by Tamara Aladin,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40should hopefully find a GENIE-AL buyer.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45And they were BOWLED over, when they managed to buy this,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48their final item, for just £7.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Have you been spending, girls?
0:25:52 > 0:25:54BOTH: Hmm...
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Hang on, let's try that again. Have you been spending, girls?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- We have been spending cautiously. - Cautiously.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- But you bought three things. - And wisely.- Yes, we did.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- So, what was your best lot? - My favourite is the compact mirror.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Compact mirror.- We've got the gold compact...- Are you at one in that?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10No, I love the glass vase. That's my favourite.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- And what's going to make the biggest profit?- Probably the third one.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- The bowl.- The bowl?- The bowl. - The one you don't like?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's not that we don't like it, it's just not our favourite.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19- We like them all. - And it was a steal.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22It was a steal. That's good. Was it a steal, Kate?
0:26:22 > 0:26:23I think it was a steal, actually.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27It was a little bit of a scramble at the end and I don't think
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Elaine will mind me saying that she got slightly stressed.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Just a little.- No good getting stressed.- Great teamwork.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- How much did you spend?- £78.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37£78?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41That leaves me with a huge whacking amount to give to Kate, doesn't it?
0:26:41 > 0:26:46- 222. Does that make sense? - Yeah. There you go.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47It feels quite a wad.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Kate... Kate, you're going to have a bit of a time with this, aren't you?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52What are you going to do with all that lot?
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Well, do you know what I'm going to do?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57I'm going to go and revisit old haunts.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- Ooh.- Exciting.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01Meanwhile, we're off to the auction.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13We've come just a few minutes down the road, to the centre
0:27:13 > 0:27:17of Exeter and we're at Bearnes, Hampton & Littlewood,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20with our auctioneer for the day, Brian Goodison-Blanks.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Good morning, Brian.- Morning. - How are you?- Fine, thank you.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Now, Samantha and Diane went shopping with Colin
0:27:26 > 0:27:31and the first object they have to offer you is this
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- rather, dare I say, ordinary smoker's cabinet.- Yes.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's a thing you would have seen in most households,
0:27:38 > 0:27:43- probably 50-60 years ago, when pipe-smoking was very popular.- Yeah.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- It's probably 1920s.- Yes.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48And the vase and cover inside is probably a little bit later,
0:27:48 > 0:27:521930s, 1940s. Probably only about £20-£30.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Well, that's not too bad.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- They paid £20 for it. - Oh, right, so we're probably...
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Probably about right? - Probably about right, yes.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Well, from something that's really rather mundane to
0:28:00 > 0:28:03a very nice pair of silver vases.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Yes, they are nice, aren't they?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Typical Victorian conical shape to them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10The thing is that, obviously, there's, with all the pierce-work.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13The silver weight to them - not a great deal.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- But the decoration is the thing that I think is going to help them.- Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18But based on the silver weight and the fact they have weighted bases,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21we're probably looking at about 40 to 60, as an open market value.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- CHARLIE HISSES - Crumbs.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Well, I can tell you that
0:28:25 > 0:28:30- Samantha and Diane paid £140 for these.- Right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- It's probably top-end, retail price. - Can you get them out of trouble?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- We need a fair wind, I think. - Yeah. Moving on to the globe.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41You'd probably expect drinks to come out of that, but...
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Decorative, I think that's about all we can say positive.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Some parts of the various countries have gone missing, haven't they?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50They have, yes, so really only about £20-£30.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Mmm. £75 paid. That could represent a little loss.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I think they're going to struggle quite a bit with that, actually.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01So it rather looks as if they might need their bonus buy.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- So, here we go.- OK.- Ooh.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08It was £45 was spent
0:29:08 > 0:29:13and what you have here is something from the 1920s-1930s.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16A gramophone cabinet, with the most wonderful burr walnut top
0:29:16 > 0:29:20on it, lovely cavetto moulding on the mahogany on the side,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23lovely beading and wonderful cabriole legs,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25terminating in pad feet.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27There is one slight thing that brings the value down.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29- CHARLIE CHUCKLES - It doesn't have the gramophone.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32That's just a minor thing, but nevertheless,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35it's a wonderful-looking cabinet that you can use for drinks,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38a whole variety of things you can use this for
0:29:38 > 0:29:41and, hopefully, that person's going to spend a lot more than £45.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- What do you think of it?- Yes. - It's really nice, actually.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Like it?- So how much do you reckon it's going to make at auction?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50I would put that into a sale with an estimate of £50-£70
0:29:50 > 0:29:52and fingers crossed, you're at the top end of the scale.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- OK.- Well, you don't have to make any decision now,
0:29:55 > 0:29:56as to whether you go with it.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00See how the auction's going and then pounce and make your decision.
0:30:00 > 0:30:06But meanwhile, let's see what hat nice auctioneer thinks of it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Well, the bonus buy is lurking in the corner there
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and, once upon a time, it was a gramophone.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Yes, it was. I think it probably would have done a little bit better
0:30:14 > 0:30:17had it still had the interior inside for the gramophone,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- because some of them are very collectable.- Yeah.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22But it's obviously been stripped out for a drinks cabinet.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24But it has some nice walnut veneers to it.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Couple of...a few ring-marks on the top, so obviously
0:30:27 > 0:30:30a few raucous parties with people leaving their drinks on the top.
0:30:30 > 0:30:351920s-1930s period again, at about £40-£50.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Well, they paid £45 for it, so they're in
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- the right, sort of, ballpark. - Right sort of area, yes, they are.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Well, that's the Reds. Now, moving onto the Blues, here.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Megan and Elaine went shopping with the lovely Kate Bliss...- Right.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50..and have bought these offerings for you,
0:30:50 > 0:30:56starting with the gilt compact and lipstick combination.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58A lot of them were produced 1950s-1960s.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- The, sort of, the debutante days....- Yeah.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02They were very popular
0:31:02 > 0:31:05and very useful for ladies going out for an evening.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08We have collectors for them, who like the...
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Some of them who like the enamel versions, with nice decoration,
0:31:11 > 0:31:14nice attractive female figure on or flowers, you know.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17But this one just has a, sort of, milled decoration,
0:31:17 > 0:31:21so realistically, I think, probably about £10-£15.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23- They paid £36 for it.- Right.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- So they've paid top end, really, haven't they?- Yes.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31Then, we've gone off to Finland for a piece of glassware. It's...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- It's plain, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I think Kate's ascribed a designer to it -
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Tamara Aladin, I think is her name.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41It's the sort of thing that you would probably see in a modern
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- shop today, because it has that kind of retro feel to it.- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- That, sort of, throwback to the 1960s.- Yeah.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Green probably not the most decorative colour,
0:31:49 > 0:31:52but still attractive and I think we've probably said, sort of,
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- 30 to 40 on that.- They paid £35 for it. I think they did quite
0:31:55 > 0:31:59well to get that at a fair for that sort of money.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- I think they did. I think it's a reasonable price.- Yeah.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Moving on to the bowl. What more can I say than, "the bowl"?
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's Burleigh Ware. Talk to me about it.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10Well, it's very typical 19th century,
0:32:10 > 0:32:13late 19th-Century Staffordshire Burleigh Ware,
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- with a blue and white transfer printed decoration.- Yeah.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Probably, originally, part of a set of a wash bowl.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Blue and white is still very popular,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22but not so much with this, sort of, decoration.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25If it were the more oriental pieces, I think it would
0:32:25 > 0:32:26- appeal little bit more.- Yeah.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29But very, very typical standard earthenwares
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- and tablewares of the late 19th century.- Yeah.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34So, realistically, only about £10-£15.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37That's OK, because they only paid £7 for it.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Yeah, that's reasonable, I think.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40So, the bowl, we think, will do all right.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Yes.- And they might well need their bonus buy.
0:32:43 > 0:32:50Well, they left Kate with £222 to spend.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Let's see what she spent it on...
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Megan, Elaine...
0:32:55 > 0:33:01- Did you give this young girl some money to spend or what?- Lots.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- Never have you felt so rich, Kate. - I know.- Well, let's have a look.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I spent a tenner.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- HE MOUTHS - It's a jug.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Oh, excellent. Oh, I love it. - So, I know...
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- Elaine, you particularly liked this, didn't you?- I do, yes.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19And we did get to the third item in a little bit of a rush.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20- Yeah.- I think it's fair to say.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23And we had a little bit of a toss-up and we went for what we went for.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28- Mm-hmm.- But, I think, for a tenner, this is a steal.- It's perfect.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30It is signed. I don't know the artist,
0:33:30 > 0:33:33but we have got a signature there, which is quite nice.
0:33:33 > 0:33:34So, how much do you think it's going to make?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Well, if that doesn't make £20,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40there is no justice in the auction business!
0:33:40 > 0:33:44If my wife went shopping with £222, I'm...
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I'm sure she'd spend more than a tenner.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- But it's not about what you spend, it's about profit.- Mm-hmm.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- That's right, exactly.- You're right. - And I think there's profit here.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- There jolly well should be profit here.- You like it.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58The girls like it. Let's see if the auctioneer agrees with them.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- Large.- It is large, isn't it?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Well, it's very typical studio pottery.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- Very, very typical 1940s going on 1950s-1960s period, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12This one, I think, has got a small mark on it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Couldn't find that, really, with any of the references that we have,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17because it's one of the more obscure factories, I think.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22- I think probably only about £10-£15.- She spent 10.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Right.- Value for money, I think.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Yes.- And that again, like the bowl, needs some flowers coming out of it.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It does. It needs a few flowers. Probably dried flowers,
0:34:29 > 0:34:32in this instance. Typical, sort of, decoration
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- that they would have had in that sort of period.- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Now, Brian, you will be taking the sale?- Yes.- Well, good luck.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Let's see how they get on...
0:34:41 > 0:34:445...
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Well, girls. Feeling confident?- Yes. - Yes.- Very confident?- Very confident.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Fantastic. Here we go.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56Lot 344 is the early 20th-century oak smoker's compendium.
0:34:56 > 0:35:001930s, single-glazed door, fitted with a tobacco jar
0:35:00 > 0:35:04to the interior, as well. what am I saying for that? £30.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08- Start at 20, then. - Come on.- Way in the corner at 20.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09- Straight in at £20. - 2, now, elsewhere.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1322. 25, standing. 28. 30. 2.
0:35:13 > 0:35:1635. 32, standing.
0:35:16 > 0:35:205. Do you wish to come in, sir? No? 32, here. On my right, at 32.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25- Come on, girls.- £32. You're all done now, at 32? You quite sure, sir?
0:35:25 > 0:35:2735, change of mind. 38, sir.
0:35:27 > 0:35:3038. 40. 38, this time.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33- 38.- I've already written the price down and it's gone up.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35- 38.- Yes!
0:35:35 > 0:35:39That is a profit of 18 smackers.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Here come the spill vase.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Lot 345, a pair of late Victorian trumpet spill vases.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49- Birmingham, 1894. Conical form.- Cost 140.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Say that very quickly and it doesn't sound a lot.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55And with me at 25, 28, £30, here. 32, I'm out.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00- 32.- Not going very quick.- No.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04At 32, I have. 35. 38? 40. 2.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0845, 48, 50, 5, 60. 55, here.
0:36:08 > 0:36:1260 elsewhere. £55. 60, internet? No.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13At 55, then.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16At 55 and finished now, at 55.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1855.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23That represents a small loss of £85(!)
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- Here goes our globe. - It just means the globe's got to
0:36:26 > 0:36:29make about 100 quid and you'll be well away.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Lot 346
0:36:31 > 0:36:35is the terrestrial globe on stand, in your hands here.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38What am I saying for that? £20? 20, straight away, thank you.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I have at 20. And 2, now, elsewhere? At £20, opening bid.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4522, internet? 25, sir. 28, internet?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- We paid 75 for it. - We're creeping up to 30.- Come on.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54- 32, 35, 38, internet? - It's got to come back for this.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- A world of bidders for it. - 35. Looking for 8, now. At 35.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Not going to get the 8. I have the 35, though.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04£35 for the globe,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06which is not a bad price for a globe
0:37:06 > 0:37:08when you haven't got Russia with it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13Means that we are down £107.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- What are you going to do about this bonus buy?- Go for it.- Yeah.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Lot 350, the early 20th-century walnut cabinet on stand.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Formerly a gramophone cabinet. And what am I saying for that? £30?
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- £20, the cabinet? 20, I have. - He's got 20.- 22, now, at all?
0:37:31 > 0:37:36At £20 only, maiden bid, centre of the room, at 20. Do I see 2?
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- 22, internet. 25, sir. - Internet.- 25. 28, internet. 28.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- 30, now, sir.- Saved by the internet.- 32, internet.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Get up.- No, it's in the room, at £30. At 30. At 30, all done.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Internet's dropped off now. At £30. In the room at 30, then.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- At 30.- £30.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59£15 loss. Can you add 107 to 15?
0:37:59 > 0:38:04Because it comes up with £122 loss.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- An absolute steal, at 122. - Done it in style.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10So, whatever you do... You've done it in tremendous style!
0:38:10 > 0:38:14Keep quiet, don't mention it to the Blues and go away
0:38:14 > 0:38:16and pray, like the clappers.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22- And you never know, 122 could be a winning score.- We hope so.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Megan, Elaine. You haven't been talking to those Reds, have you?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- Those naughty Reds?- No.- You haven't got a clue what they've done?- No.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- Lips are sealed.- Just as well, just as well. Here goes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41Lot 366 is the
0:38:41 > 0:38:481950s KIG gilt compact and lipstick combination.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51And what am I going to say for that? £15?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- £10, then.- Come on.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- 5, to start, then.- Fiver?- Oh, no.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59£2, then, if you will. 2, I have.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01- Wave of the hand, at £2 and 3, now.- Oh, girls.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05At £2 only, then. You're quite sure, then?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07To you, sir, then, at £2.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Thank you.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Oh...- I don't believe it. I do not believe it.- That's just ridiculous.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19According to my maths, that's -34. It wasn't a very hard sum to do.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- That's outrageous.- Here we go. We're going to bounce back now.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24We're going to Finland.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28So, the green glass vase, and what am I saying for that? £30?
0:39:28 > 0:39:3130, thank you, straight away at £30. And 2, now, elsewhere?
0:39:31 > 0:39:35At 30 straight away, maiden bid. 2, internet, are you in?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37At 30, back wall, then. 2, I'm looking for, now.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Quite sure, then? 1960s green glass vase, at £30 only.
0:39:43 > 0:39:44- Oh, no.- That's minus 5.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47That means you're now minus 39.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Steadily growing the losses, I like it.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53So, the blue and white patterned bowl, there.
0:39:53 > 0:39:59- What am I saying, again? Is it 15? Is it 10?- Please don't go below 10.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Is it 5?- Oh, no.- It's 5, this time. At 5, I've taken in the room.
0:40:02 > 0:40:058, internet. Are you in?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07No, at £5, the room has it, then.
0:40:07 > 0:40:098, internet is in. Saviour again.
0:40:09 > 0:40:1310, sir? 10, I have. 12, internet?
0:40:13 > 0:40:15At £10 in the room. 12, internet. Are you in?
0:40:16 > 0:40:20Internet's out. It's in the room at £10, then.
0:40:20 > 0:40:24- Yes.- You've...
0:40:24 > 0:40:27You've smashed a profit out of that. £3!
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- Oh, my God. How did it happen? - You're only minus 36.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- We've got to think about the bonus buy.- It's your decision.- Yes.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- Yes, we'll do it. Definitely. - Going for it.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- We're going for the bonus buy.- Oh, boy!
0:40:40 > 0:40:43Lot 372 is the large art pottery ewer,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45with the brown glazes and, again,
0:40:45 > 0:40:47various interests here,
0:40:47 > 0:40:49commissions with me. 10, 12, 15,
0:40:49 > 0:40:5218, £20, I have. 20, with me.
0:40:52 > 0:40:5822, now, elsewhere? Any advance on 20, then. With the 20.
0:40:58 > 0:41:012, Internet, are you in? No, at £20. That's all there, then. At 20.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04That's all it is today, at 20.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07That'll do.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09You've doubled your money.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12So, the result of all that wonderful shopping in a full hour
0:41:12 > 0:41:14is that you are minus £26.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Well, that's not too bad. It could have been worse.
0:41:18 > 0:41:23I think that's a stunning result. Now, not a word to the Reds.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Samantha and Diane, you've lost some money, haven't you?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Megan and Elaine, you've lost some money, haven't you?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40It's all a question of who's gone the furthest down the plughole, really, isn't it?
0:41:40 > 0:41:45Well, I can safely say that it's the Red team that have had
0:41:45 > 0:41:46the biggest loss.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50As if it wasn't bad enough, you were down £107. You then
0:41:50 > 0:41:54went with that fabulous walnut cabinet and, well done, Colin,
0:41:54 > 0:41:58That lost you another £15.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03So, £122 later, I've got no cash for you.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05But don't you be too smug, girls,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- because you weren't swimming in profits, were you?- No.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12But, probably the nadir of your existence,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16if I may call it that, was the gilt compact.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Cost - 36,
0:42:18 > 0:42:21sold - 2.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25- That was good, wasn't it? A loss of £34.- That was an outrage.- Outrage.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- It was an outrage. You did better on the glass vase.- We was robbed.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30You were robbed. You're quite right. You were robbed.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32The great thing was your bonus buy, Kate, wasn't it?
0:42:32 > 0:42:37An enormous jug which cost 10 and you doubled your money.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39It was your choice, really.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Well, well done, because it took your loss to a tiny -
0:42:43 > 0:42:47- a miserable- £26.- Yay!
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Which, I have to say, in comparative terms, is really rather good.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54- Anyway, had a great time? - Yes.- Good time?- Yes.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Well, why don't you join us for some more bargain hunting next time? Yes?
0:42:58 > 0:42:59ALL: Yes!
