0:00:03 > 0:00:06They say that small is beautiful, so Swinderby in Lincolnshire,
0:00:06 > 0:00:11with a population of just over 700, should be drop-dead gorgeous.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13But today, this rural community is
0:00:13 > 0:00:16experiencing something of a population explosion
0:00:16 > 0:00:21because the antique fair's in town and I have a primeval urge.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24So, let's go ape, let's go bargain-hunting.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56What the village of Swinderby lacks in the way of size,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59this fair sure makes up with, with swagger.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04There are enough stalls here for our teams to negotiate around,
0:01:04 > 0:01:08so let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13The Reds are up against the clock and each other.
0:01:13 > 0:01:14- What about that there? What about that?- No.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16You say no to everything!
0:01:17 > 0:01:20While the Blues just get downright quirky.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- I love buying things that are a bit out of the ordinary.- Really, do you?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I hadn't got that from you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And there's more fun to be had at the auction.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- I'm asking 60,- 5. Yes!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Now, come on. Let's wind it up.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Throw in a camel!
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Today, for the Reds, we have Peter and Faye
0:01:40 > 0:01:41and for the Blues,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44we have Arvind and Geeta.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Now, you're good friends.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50How did you first meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:54We met when I interviewed Faye for a job, in actual fact.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Just about two years ago.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57- How did she get on? - Well, she got the job.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So, she did pretty well, in actual fact.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03So, what were the essential qualities that you spotted
0:02:03 > 0:02:04in Faye that got her job?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Well, she could talk, that was the main thing.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09And that's what we wanted her to do, we wanted her to talk to the customers.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And where were the customers visiting?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14My shop, which is in Lincoln high street,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17we have a jewellers there, we sell all sorts of jewellery,
0:02:17 > 0:02:18particularly antique and vintage stuff.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22Now, you're no longer working for Peter, what do you do now, Faye?
0:02:22 > 0:02:26Well, originally I was an intern at the University of Lincoln
0:02:26 > 0:02:30but I've actually been given a new job within the university, so I'm
0:02:30 > 0:02:32now their web and multimedia officer.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33Well, congratulations.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36- Thank you.- But you've got this other passion, haven't you?- Yes.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38That relates to video games.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Yes, it's been a hobby of mine ever since I was little
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and I'd play video games with my dad
0:02:44 > 0:02:48and I actually wrote my dissertation on video games as well
0:02:48 > 0:02:51and the relationship between the game and the player
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and how it can be a good and bad thing.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, it is quite interesting and there is a lot of theory
0:02:56 > 0:02:59behind it, it's not all just sitting and playing games.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Brilliant. So, you two met as employer and employee.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Who is going to be the dominant force in your team today?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08I think that's safe to say it's going to be me.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I can get my own back now.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- Just see how that turns out. - OK, fine.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, you've got lots of ambition and that's the main thing
0:03:15 > 0:03:17and I wish you well.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Now, moving to the Blues,
0:03:19 > 0:03:22you're father and daughter, which is lovely.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25So, can we expect you to agree on everything?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Hardly.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I think more opposite.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So we're going to have some sparks today, are we?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32- Yeah.- OK.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35Now, Arvind, you're retired. What did you do before you retired?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I was researching social linguistics.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's about society and language and how people use their language,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43especially multilinguals.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Those are what I call very clever people, multilinguals.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47I think so.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- But you like to travel a lot, don't you?- I do, yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I love travelling, yes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53- My most frequent destination is Italy.- Is it?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Yes.- What do you like about the Italians?- Lots of things.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59The food, the culture, the language, the people.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- The wine.- The wine.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Says the daughter, with feeling.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Now Geeta, you're frightfully keen on travel.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Yeah, I'd like to try and push myself. I was in Australia
0:04:09 > 0:04:12and I did a skydive and some whitewater rafting.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14More recently, I was in Canada learning to water ski
0:04:14 > 0:04:18and the next plan is to start to learn to snowboard.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21It's my boyfriend's dream to go and snowboard in Japan
0:04:21 > 0:04:25so I think I need to get my skates on and start learning pretty soon.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'd get your board on if I were you.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- Yeah.- So what do you two know about antiques, anything?
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Geeta knows a bit, I think.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Yeah, I like to pretend I do, so I quite like music players,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41so I have a 1960s jukebox that plays 45s.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44- Oh, right?- And also a Sputnik radio that plays eight-tracks.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48So, you might go for something like that today when you get to shop?
0:04:48 > 0:04:52Yeah, something retro, something from that sort of era, I think.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, this is going to be tremendous. Now, your £300.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Here's the £300, you know the rules.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Your experts await and off you go!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:03 > 0:05:09For the Reds, keeping her sunny side up, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13And no nonsense from you, Sunny Jim! It's David Harper with the Blues.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- What we're going to do... - Welcome to the Blue Team!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19What would you say, Peter, who's the boss now?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- I think Faye is, to be honest.- Is she?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24So, I'm looking for something a little bit interesting,
0:05:24 > 0:05:26maybe with a retro feel, on the music side of things.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27What are you looking for then, boss?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, probably jewellery because that's what he knows
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- but I'll have the final say, obviously.- Of course!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34We're going to have a lot of arguments about this.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Oh, that's why they've asked you to join Bargain Hunt! Marvellous!
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Shall we go and see if we can find some?- Yeah.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- Come on!- OK, teams, your 60 minutes are about to begin.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45And they're off!
0:05:54 > 0:05:55- Hiya.- How you doing?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Is that from a fairground, is it?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59I can tell you it's from a waltzer.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01How many sections are there?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Well, in total, there are over 40.
0:06:03 > 0:06:0540.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07What sort of price is it?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Well, one panel is 150.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12You know, I'm surprised you went to that. What do you think...?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15I just think it's a fantastic piece of art.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18It is! It is, it's wonderful.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- Almost folk art, in a way.- Yeah.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21It's a fabulous thing, isn't it?
0:06:21 > 0:06:24We started fairly early, so can we keep that one in mind?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Yes, of course we can. What you think, boss?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30It's an interesting piece, definitely is quite different.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Right, so we'll remember where that is.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Peter clearly has an eye for the unusual but Faye's not impressed.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Could this be the shape of things to come?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43But the Blues also seem to be thinking outside the box.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46How about something funky and what you've got here,
0:06:46 > 0:06:48you've got a camel saddle pack.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Well, it's funky and functional, if you happen to have a camel.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Have you got a camel at home, Geeta, at all?
0:06:54 > 0:06:57- Erm... Not knocking around.- No.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01Take that away for a fiver and make £20 off it at auction.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Is that how much it is, it's a fiver?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05I was looking for £15 but for a bit of fun,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08take it away for a fiver and just have a bit of fun with it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Well, I'll tell you what, let's have a look.- What sort of leather is it?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Is it camel leather? No, I'll tell you what that is.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17That's what they call, in the trade, fake leather.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Oh, right.- Nice.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- It's top-end quality.- Right.- Yeah.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's a hard wood, it's rustically made
0:07:23 > 0:07:27and I reckon that has probably never seen a camel.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32So, it's a bit of fun and bits of fun sell very well in auction.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Someone takes a chance, takes a punt, has a lark with it.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40When Geeta and I were in Rajasthan, we went on this camel...
0:07:40 > 0:07:41So you're an experienced camel rider?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'm experienced in that, you know,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45I can tell from a glance that's not a professional seat.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Do you want to just show us how you would ride a camel professionally?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Go on, then, Geeta!
0:07:50 > 0:07:52If I was in the 1900s, I'd ride it like this.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, of course. Of course.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But, er... Hang on.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58But come on, get with modern times.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00OK. All right.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- What do we think, Dad?- I think it's a punt. It's OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04If this doesn't sell, we don't have to keep it, right?
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- No, it's going home with you. - Excellent, we'll have it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Are we going to have it for a fiver?- Go on, then.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Fiver? OK.
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Sold for just a fiver.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18So, even if it doesn't make a profit, they shouldn't get the hump.
0:08:18 > 0:08:2115 minutes in and the Reds are already watching the clock.
0:08:21 > 0:08:26It's marble, it looks like it's got a good French movement to it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It does work but it's one of those, it needs to settle down.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- When you move it, it doesn't like being moved.- No.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33What would be the best price on that?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- 75, I think.- 75.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Could you wiggle it to a round 70?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Oh, I don't know...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41And it does have a little bit of damage on the top.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It does, yeah, that's the main part that I would be...
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- But it's nice that you've got this sort of...- The colours are nice.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's nice to have the Rouge marble.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52It's sort of latter part of the 19th century, French,
0:08:52 > 0:08:57very good quality and as I've said, the red just lifts it.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I see it more as 60. Can you come down another fiver, 65?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Oh, dear, you are hard, aren't you?
0:09:02 > 0:09:0465, then. That is really, that is...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06That is...
0:09:06 > 0:09:07It's an interesting...
0:09:07 > 0:09:12It is an attractive piece and it is of benefit that it is still working.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- Which I like.- Right, OK?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Yes.- Yep, we'll do that.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Yes?- Yep.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- Yes, OK.- Thank you very much. - That's OK.- Thank you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Well done, Reds, that's one item apiece.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Oh, now there's something more normal for you, Geeta.- Yeah!
0:09:31 > 0:09:35- Let's try it on, see if there's any improvement.- Erm... Hang on then.
0:09:35 > 0:09:36Let's give this a go.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38You've done this before, haven't you?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It's a bit scary, does it feel scary wearing it?
0:09:41 > 0:09:43It feels very strange.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Hey, what did he say?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Oh, my God, looks horrible.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52That is hilarious but I'm not really sure that that's going to
0:09:52 > 0:09:54have much of an appeal in a saleroom.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57And I'm a bit concerned that I've just put that on my face.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58LAUGHTER
0:10:01 > 0:10:04The Reds are still at the same stall.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06They were going to move on, but on reflection...
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- You've spotted this.- Yeah.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Now, I love this for two reasons.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15I like it because it's got the Art Nouveau style to it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18It's cast-iron, which I love.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- And it epitomises the Art Nouveau period.- End of the century.- Lovely.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- I think the mirror is new.- Yeah.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And if we turn it over, that shows it is most definitely a new mirror.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And it's got a registered number here,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34which I'm sure we'll date that to 1895, 1905,
0:10:34 > 0:10:35that sort of period.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39It would have originally just been cast-iron, blacked, perhaps,
0:10:39 > 0:10:41and somebody has painted it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46But you could argue it looks better for that in some ways. It's a
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- nice object.- It's just a super size, it's not too big, not too small,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52it just frames a face. You can use it in any room.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Could be in a hallway, could be in a bedroom, could be
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- in the lounge, even, so...- I can see you selling jewellery.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Blooming heck!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01It has everything. We need to make a profit,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- so it depends upon the price. Should we find out how much?- Yeah.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Could you just give us the price of this mirror, please?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Yes, well, it was 20 but you can have it for 12.- 12?- Yes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15- Is that the absolute best price?- Yes, it is.- Can you get it down to ten?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18No. No, I've got to stick with 12,
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- because that is a good price for that.- It is a nice thing.- Right.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- I'm happy with 12.- OK. - You think it would be a good buy?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- Yes, I think it is a good buy.- I do as well.- Right, we shall have it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- Thank you.- Well done. Well done.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37A genuine Art Nouveau mirror for £12.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Now that's what I call cut price. Speaking of which...
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I quite like that. What sort of price is that?- 150.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- 150. I must say...- A bit of engineering there.- Engineering.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Geeta, I'm looking at your face.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Are we talking this? - Yes, we're talking that.- That.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I was kind of hoping you weren't going to say yes.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01It's a shop display. Arvind, what are your thoughts here?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I like to see it move, but obviously you can't plug it in, can you?
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It's a shame, really. I can guarantee it's absolutely fine,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- it does everything that it should do.- So all these move.- Yes.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15OK. Now, advertising objects like this
0:12:15 > 0:12:17are really quite desirable.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19People collect them.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21The big downside is that, I'm sure it works,
0:12:21 > 0:12:24but we will never be able to show it working.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Unless it has some PAT testing certificate,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32it has to be, effectively, snipped off at its base,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the electricity supply, to put it into auction.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- Would that wipe off some of the value if we took it...- Hugely. Hugely.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42So the only way I'd want to put that into sale is with a PAT
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- certificate.- I plugged it in and handled it and it's fine.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- And you didn't die? - No, no, I'm still here.- OK, good. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- Can I make some enquiries while you two chat?- Yeah.- Have a chat.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53That would be good.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Yeah. While David finds out about the PAT test,
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Peter tries to work his charm on Faye.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- What about that fairground thing back there?- No, it's dreadful.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06- It's fantastic!- Shut up.- It's great!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09If you can find one person that would have that in their house,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11then I will let you buy it.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15- If we can't find anything else, what do you think?- No.- Last one.- No.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18We'll find something. Have faith.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Back with the Blues, and David has news about the PAT test.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29Right, OK. Normally with a light you just snip it off, that's fine,
0:13:29 > 0:13:30we all know it's going to work.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34This thing, it's absolutely fundamental to its value
0:13:34 > 0:13:36that the thing works.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40So the auction will PAT test it for a cost of £3.
0:13:40 > 0:13:45Brilliant. If it passes its PAT test, they won't snip the wires off.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50We can demonstrate it to the buyers. Life is a bowl of cherries.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53However, if it fails its PAT test,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57the electricity supply is cut off at the base, ruthlessly.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02That is a nonworking, functioning bit of old plastic worth nowt.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Well, I know where I want to go. I love a bit of jeopardy.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- I love a risk.- Yes, yes.- You do as well.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13I actually feel like you're ranged against me.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15And I don't really have much choice.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I think the price is a bit high.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22- Can you come down a bit?- I can do 120, that's it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Geeta. Come on.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28- Are you a risk-taker?- No. Not even slightly.- You're in sales, baby.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's all about risk. And reward. Isn't it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34If we lose money, Dad,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37you have to take me out for dinner.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- OK, done.- Am I in on this deal? Do I get it as well?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- You can take me out for dinner as well.- Go on, then.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- I'll make you both a nice curry. - You're on.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- Authentic curry.- You're on. You're on.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51- We get a curry out of it if it fails.- If it fails.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54- All right, fine. Good enough for me. - Do it? Take a risk.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56- Thank you very much.- We'll take the risk.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04I feel an agricultural moment coming
0:15:04 > 0:15:07on because here we are in the middle of Lincolnshire,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10on the most enormous former RAF base,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12and there is lots of greenery about.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14And, once upon a time,
0:15:14 > 0:15:19this delicious object also came from a verdant and green land.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22What is it?
0:15:22 > 0:15:26The dealer who had it on the stall up there said that it was
0:15:26 > 0:15:28a Tibetan grain scoop.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Do I think this has anything to do with Tibet?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34No, I do not.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38But it has great soul and it has great character.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42The fact that it's matted thick
0:15:42 > 0:15:46with sweat and grease and grime
0:15:46 > 0:15:47and a bit of mud,
0:15:47 > 0:15:52that together have given it something called patination,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55which is this curious, grubby
0:15:55 > 0:15:59but delightful, textural overall finish.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I want to find out exactly where this came from.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07I suspect it's either Pacific Rim or it's African.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11I suspect that it has got considerable age.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14And on account of its brilliant condition, I think
0:16:14 > 0:16:17it might be worth quite a lot of money.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Like how much?
0:16:19 > 0:16:23I would never sell it for less than £200-£300.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Which, for £20, as an investment, is a fair scoop,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29wouldn't you say?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Ha-ha! Back at the shopping, it's business as usual with the Reds.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34We've got to go for something OTT.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38Yeah, but there's OTT and then there's ridiculously...
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- We don't want to be boring, do we?- You don't need to be arguing.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- He started it.- Did he?- Yeah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46It's the usual case.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00- What about that?- No.- You say no to everything.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Don't fall out.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05You could use it, even by the side of the sofa and put your tea on it.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09I don't see it selling, if I'm honest.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11It's a no, is it? Again.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Everything's a no!
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Oh, dear, let's find out what's afoot with the Blues.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- What is this?- It's a Turkish shoeshine.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26That's the working part of it, where the person would be shining.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31And...you put your foot on there, with your heel against that,
0:17:31 > 0:17:35and he's got all his drawers for his cloths and his various things.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Various bottles.- It's £40 but I can do it for 30 for you.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41What a fascinating thing.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I don't know... That looks Turkish to me.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48That's with it, but I don't know what's...
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- What it actually is.- What is that?- I don't know, haven't a clue.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- I like a little bit of honesty. - Around a camel or something.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Go around a camel?! That's what we've been looking for.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Over the camel thing, wouldn't it? - Wouldn't that go with the camel?- No.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I'm not being bullied into anything else.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- It's a bit too bonkers for me, that one.- Really?- Yes.- All right.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Shall we move on from that?- Yeah, let's move on.- Thanks for showing it to us.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Thank you.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Well, Geeta's booted that into touch. Meanwhile, could it
0:18:17 > 0:18:20be that those wrangling Reds have finally agreed on something?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- That's amazing!- Yeah, I like that.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25- Are you serious?- Yeah.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- You actually really like that? - Yes, I do.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- Peter, you actually really like that?- I like it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34So can we say that you two are in agreement?
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I agree that I like it, but I wouldn't buy it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Come on, Faye, you've just said you agree with Peter.- Yeah.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43So you agree with Peter. This is what I'm trying to ascertain.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- Let's see what price it is.- Right, how much is it, please?
0:18:47 > 0:18:52- I'll treat you, £60. How's that? - £60 for the watch?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54No, I don't see it, unfortunately.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- I thought it would be too good to be true.- I like it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01I like it, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it would turn...
0:19:01 > 0:19:04People do collect Swatch watches.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06They don't wear them, though, that size, do they?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09No, but in a shop atmosphere,
0:19:09 > 0:19:13somebody who is actually an unauthorised dealer to sell Swatch.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17You are actually a closet interior decorator, aren't you?
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- THEY LAUGH Look at all those colours, it's wonderful.- It's really different.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- What about £40?- I can't do it for 40.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28- What's your ab...- Absolute, 49.- 49. - £49.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Let's go for it. - It's going into auction.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33How do you think it would go, in auction?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- I've never seen one sold.- No. - So I really don't know.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41- You both think it's great. - So it's just potluck.- Yeah.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Oh, go on.- Let's go for it. - Before I change my mind.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Quick, you're in agreement?! - Yes, before I change my mind.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- We'll have it.- Thank you very much.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Sold.- Well done.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I never thought you'd agree on anything.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57That's the Reds' final item, and about time, too.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Blues, the clock is ticking.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Have you noticed? 12:45, they're all packing up.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- We've got 20 minutes. So we need to buy something.- We need to buy something.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09- And the pressure, Geeta, is on you.- Um...
0:20:09 > 0:20:10SHE LAUGHS
0:20:10 > 0:20:13I'm kind of feeling that we have to just buy something now.
0:20:13 > 0:20:14Has the chair been chopped?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- SELLER: No! - Let's have a look.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- I've never seen that before! - That's amazing!
0:20:20 > 0:20:22"The Reliability Mark, please quote Design..."
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Ercol! It's early Ercol!
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- Oh my gosh! - SELLER: It's a lovely chair.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- What sort of wood is this, then? - It's oak.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- So is it, it's, like, er... It's not supposed to have legs?- Apparently.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35SELLER: I bought it off a woman, she had a blanket box, and it was sat on top.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Why would it sit on a blanket box? - It's weird, at the bottom of the bed.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40If you'd look at that, you'd think 1920s,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43that's what you're going to think, aren't you? Maybe '30s.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47It's a reproduction of a much earlier shape and design, really.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- But that's the original back. - SELLER: Yeah.- Geeta, get excited.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Have a feel of the back.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52ALL LAUGH
0:20:52 > 0:20:55I love furniture. That is quite cool, though.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I'd love to think that it was a mad blanket box chair.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I think most people will assume it's been chopped.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Yeah.- Yeah.- Gosh. My gosh.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I love buying things a bit out of the ordinary.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Really? Do you? I hadn't got that from you(!)
0:21:08 > 0:21:09HE LAUGHS
0:21:09 > 0:21:10Erm...
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- It's bonkers.- I think that's quite nice actually.- I mean, seriously.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- What could it be?- SELLER: 50.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I was going to say I'd take a punt for a tenner.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- That sounds like a bid to me. - Big ask!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25SELLER: Hmm, well, we've got to go up another two, so that makes it 12.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26- 12 quid.- SELLER: That's it.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Well, I tell you what.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29I know it's sacrilege,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32but it would cost you more than 12 quid to buy wood to light your fire?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33SELLER LAUGHS
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- So, if all else fails, we'll sell it for firewood.- Exactly.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Yes.- NOW you've sold it to me. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:38 > 0:21:39SELLER: There you go.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Are you going to do it?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I'm just feeling like we need to get something
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- cos we're running out of time. - Right, we need to! Come on, come on!
0:21:46 > 0:21:47Are you REALLY going to buy that chair?
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Yeah, go on, then.- Oh, my God!- Yay! - Come on, let's do it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Right then, time's up!
0:21:52 > 0:21:53CLANG
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01They bought a 19th-century French mantel clock.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04In no time at all, they followed it
0:22:04 > 0:22:07with an Art Nouveau mirror.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10And finally, they hit the big time,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12with this advertising wall clock.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- Now, Faye, Pete, did you enjoy that? - Fantastic.- Yes.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Lovely spending somebody else's money, eh?
0:22:19 > 0:22:20FAYE LAUGHS That's it!
0:22:20 > 0:22:22And how much, actually, did you spend?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Overall, it was £126.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Is that all?
0:22:26 > 0:22:29OK, I'd like £174 of leftover lolly.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32So, 170. And four.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35Well done. Which is your favourite piece, Faye?
0:22:35 > 0:22:39- Er, for me, it's the watch.- Is it? - Yes.- OK.- It's quite different, so...
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Looking forward to seeing how that turns out.- Pretty wacky, too!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Peter, how do you see it? Which is your favourite?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- The watch, again.- Is it? - It is, yeah.- OK.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50And will it bring the biggest profit, the watch?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Erm... I'm not sure,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I'm torn between the watch and the mirror,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57but thinking about it a bit more, I think the watch will do well, actually.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59OK. And do you think it'll bring the biggest profit, then?
0:22:59 > 0:23:00I think it will be the mirror
0:23:00 > 0:23:04just because it's the item we spent actually quite a little amount on.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- So, hopefully that will give us a nice profit.- OK. But how lovely to have the prospect of profits.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10- Ooh, yes, definitely. - SHE LAUGHS
0:23:10 > 0:23:12- Now, Caroline. There you go, a wodge of cash...- Thank you!
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- ..which is really substantial.- Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17So, what are you going to spend it on, do you know?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18I've had a few ideas,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- I might see if I can look for some jewellery for you, something sparkly.- Yeah.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I hope you spend the lot. And very good luck with that, Caroline.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Meanwhile, why don't we shove off,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and see what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30First up - I've never heard myself
0:23:30 > 0:23:32say THIS on Bargain Hunt before -
0:23:32 > 0:23:34they bought a camel saddle!
0:23:34 > 0:23:35For five pounds.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36They cut a deal
0:23:36 > 0:23:38on this advertising display.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41£120, plus £3 for the PAT test.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45And finally,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46they bought this 1930s
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Ercol box-top armchair
0:23:48 > 0:23:49for £12.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Just the thing,
0:23:51 > 0:23:52for a short rest.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- Arvind, Geeta. - THEY CHUCKLE
0:23:55 > 0:23:56How was your shopping?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Oh, very interesting.- Was it? - DAVID AND GEETA LAUGH
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Yes.- Yeah. I think "interesting" is
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- probably the word to describe it. - LAUGHTER
0:24:02 > 0:24:05So, how much did you spend, to start off with?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Er, £140.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09£140, may I have £160 of leftover lolly, please?
0:24:09 > 0:24:10Where'd I put it, where did I put it?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12I definitely gave it to you, Dad.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13LAUGHTER
0:24:13 > 0:24:14- Oh, here it is!- Oh!
0:24:14 > 0:24:16I won't count it, cos I trust you.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Erm, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:18 > 0:24:21My favourite piece was the Swiss Army knife.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Swiss Army knife is your favourite? - Yes.- Do you agree with that?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26I don't agree with any of it, but...
0:24:26 > 0:24:28If I had to choose, the camel seat.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30The camel seat would be your favourite?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- OK, fine.- Let's be honest, you don't have a favourite, do you?- No.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34THEY ALL LAUGH
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- Have you been dominated by these boys, then?- Yes.- And beaten up? - I've been bullied!- Have you?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- And beaten up, which is rotten, isn't it?- Yeah.- Ha!
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Well don't worry, darling, I shall stick up for you when it comes to the final analysis.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47So, which piece is going to bring the biggest profit, then?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- Well, I think it's the blanket chair. - Do you?- Mm-hm.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- Do you think it's the blanket chair? - No, I think it'll be the camel seat.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Even though you don't like any of them?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I don't like any of them, but I think that'll make the most.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Well, there's a prediction, anyway. Brilliant.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- OK, David Harper. - OK, thank you, Tim.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Nobody does this better than David Harper,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07taking money and translating it into bonus buys full of promise.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- We're counting on it.- Yes.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I will try and by something normal, and make it up to you, Geeta.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- Yep.- OK?- Keep her in hope! - THEY LAUGH
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Anyway, good luck.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20Meanwhile, why don't we shuffle off somewhere lovely, like the auction?
0:25:30 > 0:25:31Well, how lovely is this?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34We've trotted across to the outskirts of Derby
0:25:34 > 0:25:38to be with Charles Hanson, at Hanson's Auctioneers. Charles, good morning.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- All aboard, Tim.- All aboard, lovely.- Good to see you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Well done, skip. Now, Faye and Peter,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45their first item is this black slate mantel clock,
0:25:45 > 0:25:48and I always fancy these are incredibly difficult to sell.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Tim, on a Friday evaluation day here, we see one of two things.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54It's either the infamous fish forks and knives,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58- or the black slate mantel clock.- Bit chipped, the polish isn't so good.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Yeah.- Is it worth £20, do you think?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Tim, I do, and I can see a price now, coming to my mind.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- It might make £45-50, 55 on a good day.- OK, fine.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Well, the team paid £65 so...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- OK.- ..that's plenty enough, I fancy.- Yes.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Next is the unusual cast-iron frame.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Now, I think it's come off something else. It's come off a railway carriage, or a liner.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25It's something that's been scrapped, and they've kept that piece.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's quite interesting, Tim. There's nothing on the back of it to identify itself
0:26:28 > 0:26:32as to where it's come from, but regardless of that,
0:26:32 > 0:26:38it's just a good, neo-rococo, late 19th/early 20th century, decorative object, today.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Mm, exactly. How much?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Tim, we have been quite bold
0:26:41 > 0:26:45and put a guide price on of between £30 and £50.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46- That is a cast-iron price.- Yeah. - LAUGHS
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Cos they paid £12 actually, so that's pretty good, isn't it?
0:26:50 > 0:26:51- It's solid, yes.- OK.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Such is the beauty of Bargain Hunt,
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and the variety of things out there to buy,
0:26:56 > 0:27:00that the next item is this Swatch watch advertising fellow.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Yeah. Tim, it just takes me back, cos I was an '80s boy.- Were you?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07In my heyday, Tim, and 1987, I can remember that year now.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- I was almost ten years old. - Don't ask me how old I was.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11THEY LAUGH
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Obviously Swatch, you know, came into fruition in '83.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17They were hung on the wall, like a longcase clock,
0:27:17 > 0:27:22but in fact the actual straps hung up and down, so they were wall clocks, basically.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26I fancy it's the sort of wacky object that will touch all sorts of people...
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- Yes.- ..because it is good fun, isn't it?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Tim, it IS good fun, and, as you say,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35has that poignancy of a period, for me, which I remember very well.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK, fine. What's it worth?
0:27:37 > 0:27:42We've put a guide price on, quite cautiously, of between £30 and £50.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Right. The team paid £49,
0:27:44 > 0:27:47but you put an estimate on it which is mighty tempting, Charles...
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- I hope so, Tim.- ..and basically anything could happen.- Yeah.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53And depending on what happens will determine whether they need the bonus buy.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:56 > 0:28:03So, Faye, Peter, you spent £126. You gave your expert, Caroline, £174.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Caroline, what did you spend it on?
0:28:05 > 0:28:09I spent my money on this nest of tables.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10LAUGHTER
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Not my ideal choice, to be perfectly honest. THEY LAUGH
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Oh Peter, I was looking for something sparkly and small! These aren't sparkly and small.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I was hoping for some big lump of jewellery to come through, to be honest.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- You were, weren't you? - HE LAUGHS
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- Faye, what are you thinking? - LAUGHTER
0:28:24 > 0:28:27What made you want to get this?!
0:28:27 > 0:28:31I think they are jolly, jolly good value for money.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36They're mahogany, they're Edwardian, 1910, sort of '15 period.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Beautiful turned supports.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Look at the quality, and, nowadays,
0:28:40 > 0:28:43when everybody's got smaller houses,
0:28:43 > 0:28:47this trio of tables can fold up against the wall
0:28:47 > 0:28:50and you can bring them out as necessary.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52And how much did you spend?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Ah, yes. What do you think?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56120.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00No! You're going to be very pleasantly surprised. £55.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01- OK.- 55? Wow.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Now, I think that's a good price for three of them.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08There could well have been four of them, but I think three's enough.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10And I think, probably, you tell
0:29:10 > 0:29:12because the fourth one, or the last one,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14wouldn't have the rails in this place,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- you'd have rails on both sides. - Yeah.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Cos there'd be nothing that would need to slot under it.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- Yeah.- But nevertheless, three of them, for £55...?
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Does that make a difference to you at all, Faye?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Yes. It does a bit. - Does it?- The price.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31So, Caroline, how much do you think they'll make at auction?
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Well, ten years ago,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I think they would have made a lot more than today,
0:29:35 > 0:29:37but I'm hoping for £75, £80.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- Right.- But one never knows!
0:29:40 > 0:29:42And that's the risk. But, right now,
0:29:42 > 0:29:47for the viewers at home, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's little nest.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53This is one of the staple pieces from auctions, isn't it?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55It is, and I suppose it's fashion today.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57I think these nest tables are really useful
0:29:57 > 0:30:00because we can use them in the smaller, modern home.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's a shame we're missing one,
0:30:02 > 0:30:04but the quality of the mahogany is good,
0:30:04 > 0:30:06the stringing is very nice,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- and, erm, yeah, I think they're quite delicious.- How delicious?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Oh, guide price between £25 and £35.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16Caroline paid £55, and she reckons she got 'em cheap.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Not so much of a nest, eh, Charles?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- No.- Not a nest egg, anyway.- No. - No. OK, that's lovely.
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Now, moving on to the Blues, who've gone really wacky.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Erm, first up for them is the camel saddle.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- Not many camels here in Derbyshire, are there?- No, Tim.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36But I did some homework, and camels first began to be used in 3000BC.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- How old is the saddle that we've got here, Charles?- Not very old, Tim.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40- OK. - THEY LAUGH
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Might it be five or ten years old?- Tim...
0:30:42 > 0:30:44It could be no more than 20 or 30 years old.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46So somebody on holiday, to North Africa,
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- and, for a bit of fun, they lugged home a camel saddle.- Yes.- Right?
0:30:50 > 0:30:51- Yes, exactly.- OK, perfect.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52It's quite a nice object,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55you could almost put your magazines on there, and, er,
0:30:55 > 0:30:57just see it as a nice accessory.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- You're so romantic, Charles.- Yes. - Erm, how much, then?
0:31:00 > 0:31:04- Tim, we feel it'll hopefully yield between £30 and £40.- Do you really?
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- Yes.- Gosh, that's magnificent, Charles.- Is it?- £5 they paid.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Good, yeah. Crossed fingers. - Erm, now the advertising model.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13I tell you what, why don't you just turn it on, eh?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Sorry, Tim, OK, fine. - Flip the switch, Charles.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- TIM LAUGHS IN SURPRISE - There we go, Tim.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Isn't it wonderful? I suppose, Tim.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Quite an iconic object,
0:31:22 > 0:31:24in the home to just pass away your time looking at.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Yeah, I mean, it's quite mesmerising, isn't it?- It is.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31Great quality, and a quality piece of advertising material.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34The team paid £120 for this, the PAT test was £3,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- so, effectively the purchase price was £123, OK.- Hmm.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39What do you think it's worth at auction?
0:31:39 > 0:31:44I think, Tim, we've got to go some, because our guide price is between £40 and £60.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45- Is it?- Yes.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Er, their last item is the oak and beech Ercol chair.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I quite like it, I think the colour's quite nice,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54and, importantly, we know it's Ercol,
0:31:54 > 0:31:58and if there's a really racy area of the antiques market,
0:31:58 > 0:31:59it's the trading name of Ercol,
0:31:59 > 0:32:03which is inspiring buyers to buy more furniture at auction.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05I'll take that on board, Charles. What's it worth?
0:32:05 > 0:32:09We really rate it highly, and we hope it'll make between £30 and £40.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10- Do you really?- Yes.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- £12 paid.- Good.- Erm, happy with that?- Very happy, Tim.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14Well, they'll be very happy, too.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17And on that basis, I don't think they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20if the Swiss Army knife does well enough,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22and in case not, let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Now, Arvind, Geeta.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27You spend £140,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31you gave David Harper £160 to go out and search and trawl the fair
0:32:31 > 0:32:34to find something really super-duper for you, right.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Now, I'm going to help him, cos this is a two-handed job.
0:32:37 > 0:32:38Here we go, and it is...
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Ha-ha!- Ah! GEETA LAUGHS
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Isn't that marvellous? I recognise that.- I recognise some of this.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- You've seen this before, have you? - Yeah.- Oh, yes.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I tried to make them buy it, Tim, cos I thought it was really interesting.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50What happened then?
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Er, they didn't like it. - GEETA LAUGHS
0:32:52 > 0:32:54So you've gone out to buy it...
0:32:54 > 0:32:56to spite them, or because you believe in it so much?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59Because I believe that actually, for the amount of money I paid for it,
0:32:59 > 0:33:02and you know how much it was, it was phenomenally cheap.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- How much did you end up getting it for?- Can you not remember?- No.- 20.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07Oh, that's not so bad!
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Look, it's a fun thing. - What is it, really?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11It's a travelling shoe-polisher's kit.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15That's where you keep your polishes, and you're a jobbing shoe-polisher,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18wandering around the streets of Derbyshire, cleaning people's shoes.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- But how old do you think it is?- Er, it's not as old as it might look.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- It's probably... '20s to 1950s I would guess.- OK.- You'd never guess.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26LAUGHTER
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Do you think it's going to make more than 20 quid?- Yes.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30It should.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34I know guys that run shoe shops, sell really top-end quality boots.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- They would love something like that in their window.- Yeah.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39It's a display piece, no-one's going to use it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42If all else fails, that's what we'll do. Out on the street, after the auction!
0:33:42 > 0:33:45- LAUGHTER - Anyway, team, you pick after the sale of the first three items.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49So, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Dave's bit of kit.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Now, Charles, your second career beckons. Look!- Absolutely, Tim.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Right. What would you like, Tim? What shoes are you wearing today?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- I've got suede shoes on, so not much good for me.- No.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Erm, what is going on here, Charles?
0:34:00 > 0:34:02It's a real delight, Tim,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05because if you're, I suppose, a shoe-shining fellow,
0:34:05 > 0:34:11in Turkey, this is something which you may have used 20, 30 years ago.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Yeah. - There's all these wonderful lotions
0:34:13 > 0:34:18- and potions to really make your shoes properly come alive.- Lovely.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22- How much then, Charles?- Tim, guide price between £30 and £50.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Well, that would be marvellous. David will be so chuffed.- Good.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- He paid £20.- Yeah, polished fellow, isn't he?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- LAUGHING:- He's a polished fellow! Exactly right.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Anyway, you're looking forward to the auction?- Tim, I can't wait. - Nor can we.
0:34:37 > 0:34:43At £55, have I got two? I'll sell at £55.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Now, Faye and Peter. How excited are you?
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Fantastic.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- THEY LAUGH - I mean, it's a very good sight,
0:34:50 > 0:34:53- a full saleroom like this, isn't it?- It's packed, isn't it?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- It certainly is!- Gives me hope. - Well, gives us all us all hope,
0:34:56 > 0:34:59cos right now it's the slate mantel clock, and here it comes.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03In good condition and circa 1890, there we are.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08- And I can start at 35, 45, 50 I'm bid.- Keep going!
0:35:08 > 0:35:12I'm asking five now, at 50 I'm bid, do I see five now?
0:35:12 > 0:35:165, Miss Hornblower, I'm out. Do I now see 60?
0:35:16 > 0:35:17On the net, do I see 60 now?
0:35:17 > 0:35:24Bid me 60, or I shall sell, make no mistake. All done, we are at £55.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Fair warning, all done.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28£55 is minus £10.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- It's nothing like as bad as it could have been.- Could have been, yes.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Yeah, exactly. Now, your mirror...
0:35:33 > 0:35:35It's an interesting object, this.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37If it could talk, what could it tell us?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I'm only asking 20, bring me a tenner. It's got to go.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44I'm only asking... Ten I'm bid there. Do I see 12? 15.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4618. 20. Five. 30.
0:35:46 > 0:35:51Five. At 30 I'm bid, do I se a fiver? Come on, one more, sir.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55No, you're out, you're out online, so I sell to the lady at £30.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Fair warning. All out.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02- It's all on the watch.- Plus £18. That means you're plus 8.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Very good. Now...
0:36:04 > 0:36:06It's a very nice large Swatch...
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Actually, it would have been a wall clock, I'm only bid £20,
0:36:09 > 0:36:11do I see two now? At 20, I'll take two now.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Look at this iconic '80s decor.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1822, 25, 28, 30 on commission I'm bid.
0:36:18 > 0:36:2035 over there, with a dog.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23The man with a dog. 35. 40, 45.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Man with a dog. Do I see 50 online now?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Come on, internet. Go one more! 45.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33It's big and bold and it's the antique of the future. 50. Five.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Yes!- Yes, five I'm bid online, do I see 60?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Online, don't miss it for one, it's iconic.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40I'm asking 60. Five.
