0:00:04 > 0:00:06# I've been driving in my car
0:00:07 > 0:00:09# It's not quite a Jaguar... #
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Today, we've travelled east to Norfolk.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17And just look at this place! It goes on,
0:00:17 > 0:00:20and on, and on...
0:00:22 > 0:00:26No time to hang about! Let's go bargain hunting, yeah.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Did you know that Norfolk is one of the few counties
0:00:59 > 0:01:03in the United Kingdom not to have a motorway link?
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Well, you will be reassured to know that our teams are prepared
0:01:08 > 0:01:12to go the full distance and to drive a hard bargain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Let's take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up. Oh, yes.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Some strange goings-on with the Reds...
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Can we use this first, just to check?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Just check, see what it says - oh, it says yes!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28The Blues try and busk it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- I've got one of these at home. - Oh, have you? Exactly the same?
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Almost exactly the same.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And it all goes hopping mad at the auction.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41SHE MOUTHS
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Sensational!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50On today's programme, we have two teams of loving couples.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54For the Reds, we've got Alison and Dominic,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58and for the Blues we have Rebecca and Anthony. Hello, everyone!
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- ALL: Hello!- Lovely to see you.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, Dominic, tell me about your psychic abilities.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, I do lots of different things. I'm a medium,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10that's what I do primarily, but I'm also an aura reader,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12which I do in Harley Street. I read people's auras.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14And I also work with psychometry,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16which is feeling objects and feeling the energy from objects.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20So, for instance, if I picked up your bow-tie, I'd probably feel that it belonged to you.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- Would you really?- Yeah, maybe. - What exactly happens, then?
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Do you get, like, a vision with the teeth
0:02:25 > 0:02:27and the glasses and the hat, or...?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Not quite as wide as that! But you get a feel.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33You get a natural sense of where the thing's been or where it belongs.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Alison, you also work as a personal assistant to Dominic, your fiance.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39I do. I do, yes.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So, does that involve anything psychic yourself,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- or are you there in a support role?- Little bit.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Well, it's a bit of a support role,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48but it's a little bit of psychic as well,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51because I do actually see things in a crystal ball.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So I can see images, and Dominic's helped me to do psychic development,
0:02:54 > 0:02:59so I can see objects, faces, and pick things up which are paranormal.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Are you going to bring your special abilities into play today on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Would you like to see my pendulum? - I beg your pardon?!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- LAUGHTER - Gosh, we've only just met!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Um, yes, I'd love to have a look at your pendulum!
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- You've got it about your person? - I have, and this is what I will be using.- Will you?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Yes, and it goes round in circles and it means...
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Oh, see, it's going "yes" already! So that's a good sign.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20How do you know it's going "yes" and not "no"?
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Because clockwise is "yes", and anticlockwise is "no".- Ah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26This is going to be exciting.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29A completely new slant on Bargain Hunt. Anyway, very good luck!
0:03:29 > 0:03:30- Thank you.- Perfect. Gosh, what fun.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Now, Tony. How did you two get together?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Well, Tim, we met at college.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I was a mature student and Becky was an immature student, yes.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Makes sense!
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We were doing a role-play and we just happened to be
0:03:43 > 0:03:45thrust together in the role-play. I was her boss.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48And I didn't know what her name was, so I just made one up on the spot.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I said, "Oh, Mrs Simpkins," and she just fell about laughing,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53and we've not stopped since, really.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56So since those early days of role-playing,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- that kind of kitted you up for a living, didn't it?- Well, sort of.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03For me, they weren't such early days, but, er...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I do acting and singer-songwriting on the side,
0:04:06 > 0:04:09but I'm trying to make it less on the side and more on the front.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Becky, you fancy yourself a bit of a performer too, don't you?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13Yeah. Not quite to his level,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15but I belong to a small local singing group,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19we're called Feering Singers - Feering being a local village.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23And we do one big show a year and a few smaller events.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27We do things like go round old folks' homes and that sort of thing,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30and cheer them up. And everything we raise we give to charity.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- Oh, lovely. - So we have a nominated charity.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35You don't just happen to have a tune up your sleeve
0:04:35 > 0:04:37that you'd like to give us from your repertoire, have you?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Do you know, I don't.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40THEY LAUGH
0:04:40 > 0:04:41You wouldn't like it!
0:04:41 > 0:04:45When you're not singing your socks off, what do you get up to?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Well, I run my own business these days,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50for about the last three years. I set up a training company,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53which is what I've been doing for a long, long time.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56And I work with businesses on their customer service delivery.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So, what are your team tactics today with the £300 I'm about to give you?
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- Oh, erm...- Tactics, tactics! - ..find something to buy that'll make a profit.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Ah, that's a good idea! - That's about as far as we go!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08We'd quite like some unusual, quirky things.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09OK. Well, that's exciting.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Now, the money moment -
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- £300 apiece.- Lovely. - There's your 300.- Thank you!
0:05:13 > 0:05:16You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go!
0:05:16 > 0:05:18And very, very, very good luck.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I wonder what's going to happen?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Now, our two tremendous teams need two extraordinary experts.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Helping the Reds make a step in the right direction
0:05:31 > 0:05:32is Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And the expert who never gets rattled under pressure -
0:05:38 > 0:05:41it's Catherine Southon for the Blues.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Right then, Alison, Dominic, what's this I hear about a shopping list?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Yes, I've got a shopping list in my head. We want rocking horses,
0:05:52 > 0:05:57any sort - antique ones, brightly coloured ones - and even militaria.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- Have we got a game plan today?- Yes.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Don't laugh! I'm serious!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- And old Dominic?- Yeah, I'm looking for antique cufflinks,
0:06:05 > 0:06:06and things like that.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yeah, I find them fascinating. They range in price,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10but they can be very easily found
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- disguised amongst loads of bric-a-brac on tables.- OK, yeah.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- What is our game plan? - Buy three items and make a profit.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Yes!- Well, that sounds good to me.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- You must have a secret weapon amongst your...- I have, I have.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And this is my pendulum.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26I hate to think!
0:06:26 > 0:06:27THEY LAUGH
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Right, teams! Your 60 minutes starts now. - BELL CHIMES
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Come on, let's do this!
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Come on, then.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37So, from that, I fathom Paul will be having an early lunch,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39and Catherine has her work cut out.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Money for old rope? - THEY LAUGH
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Thank you, Dominic. I do the jokes round here!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46All the old jokes are the best.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Moving on to the plucky Blues, then.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I've got one of these at home. - Oh, have you? Exactly the same?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Almost exactly the same, different make.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56And how much did you pay for yours?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- It was free.- Ah. - And it's better than this one.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00What's on this one?
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- VENDOR:- It's 88.- 88?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Yeah, 88's a bit more...
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Bit too much? Maybe sort of £40, £50.- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- OK, well, there's lots... - We'll think about it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It's food for thought, here. We've got a lot to look at.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- What do you think of these? I know you mentioned militaria.- Yes.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17This strictly isn't, but I see here little die-cast lead soldiers,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and I guess they're First World War period.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Can we have a look? Can we take them out?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- May we see those? Would that be all right?- Thank you.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27There's my favourite.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29That's a Vickers machine gunner.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Absolutely tremendous.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Absolutely love these.- Yeah? "Absolutely love" works for me!
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- Oh, look at that!- Yes, yes, yes.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39We are in the trenches of the First World War.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Can we talk about how much?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42VENDOR: 25 quid for that.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Is that it?- We could do 20?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- God, you're mean.- Yeah.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- £20?- Stop reading us like a book!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Oh, go on.- Tiny little bit, 15?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54VENDOR: Go on, make me a decent offer.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55- £20.- 18? 18?- Please?
0:07:55 > 0:07:5718?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00What have we bought them for? Yeah, 20's the price!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Can we use this first, just to check?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Just check, see what it says, if it says...
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Oh, the pendulum is out. Maybe that'll swing it!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Oh, it says yes, so...
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- You're a good man. Thank you. - Thank you! Thank you ever so much!
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You've come out fighting, Reds. And all within four minutes.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Well done!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21The Blues, however, are still weighing up their options.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- This is interesting.- Nice set of scales?- What do you weigh on that?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Is that a people weigher, or for sacks, or...?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's a big enough platform, isn't it, to put...?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30It's for potatoes or something.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- Go on, try it.- What do you mean, "Go on, try it"?!
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I couldn't possibly let you see how heavy I am!
0:08:35 > 0:08:36See, we take the weights off here,
0:08:36 > 0:08:39and then drop them, slot them in here.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40And then we do a little bit of tuning there.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42- And then you adjust. - That's the fine-tuner.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It's got a maker's name on that. Fereday?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47What would you say...? Oh, it is for potatoes.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49See, I was right!
0:08:49 > 0:08:54- Yeah. You're more knowledgeable than we thought!- There we are.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57Well, lots of people need scales for potatoes these days, don't they?
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- The price worries me a bit. - 65.- Do you like them?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- We would have that in our house. - Yeah, we'd have it.- In the house?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- If you saw our house you'd understand.- I'd understand why.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11Ahem. I'll chip in here. Let's leave the Blues to mull things over.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20What about that sign, Paul?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22The polling station sign.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- Not sure it gets my vote. - I don't know, what do you think?
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Well, I don't know, it just... - It stands out, doesn't it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- It's something different. What do you think?- Do you know what I think?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34That is an icon of British culture, is it not?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Well, it is, isn't it? - Why not? It is, yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Isn't it? We've all seen it.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Throughout our lives we will be drawn to this periodically,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44and in my opinion it's some of the most exciting times of our life.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Someone'll buy that on a whim as an interior decorating piece.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52If you've got the big converted warehouse apartment, stick that up,
0:09:52 > 0:09:55it is a talking point, a focal point, it's a whimsical piece.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58If you have a garage with a classic car,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01all your enamel signs up, it's a classic sign to have up there.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03So there is a market, one way or another, for it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Ask me to put a price on it, on the other hand... What's it worth?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- 20, 30, 40 quid.- 20, 30, 40 quid?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So if you get it for a tenner, it's well worth it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14If you get it for a tenner. If we don't get it for a tenner, then maybe we go on elsewhere.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Ask the price.- OK. - Go and ask the price.- I will do. OK.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20And, if it's a good price, maybe it's a sign, hey, Alison?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24She's still smiling!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Originally it's 35, but he'll sell it for 18.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- 18, what do you think?- Oh, we're not going to lose on that, are we?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- What do you say? - You'd be unlucky to lose on it,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36but it seems hellish close to 15.
0:10:36 > 0:10:41- Time for Paul to have a chat to the dealer, who's rather shy.- Big man!
0:10:42 > 0:10:43HE MOUTHS
0:10:43 > 0:10:4715 quid? Go on, dude.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48DEALER: Yeah, if you give me peace.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51You're a good man. Thanks very much!
0:10:51 > 0:10:53He's a charmer, that Mr Laidlaw.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- We're going for the record, here. That's nine minutes.- Brilliant!
0:10:56 > 0:10:58What can you buy in a minute?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00No time-wasting for the Reds!
0:11:00 > 0:11:05The Blues, however, have had a long WAIT to go with those scales.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09We need potato scales in our life, right now, badly.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11How would you feel about £35?
0:11:12 > 0:11:1538 and they're yours.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- It's quite low-risk, isn't it?- Yeah? - Let's go for it. Can we? 38?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Thank you, sir.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25I fancy something a bit ethnographic. Do you?
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Well, if you do, you'll like the look of this.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Where does it come from?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Think South Africa and you might be getting warm.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39It's probably Zulu, and it's made of something called ironwood.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Ironwood, by definition, is very, very hard,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and it's also incredibly heavy -
0:11:45 > 0:11:48one of those woods that would sink in water.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Being made out of one lump, this swelling bit, the knop,
0:11:53 > 0:11:58has had to be cut about to make an almost perfect sphere.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01But what's really, really rare about it
0:12:01 > 0:12:06is this bit projecting at the end, that looks exactly like a nipple.
0:12:06 > 0:12:12That nipple on every other Zulu throwing club
0:12:12 > 0:12:16that I have ever seen, has been broken off and smoothed over.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19But this one, the nipple is complete.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21How lovely's that?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25It's got the feel of something that was probably made
0:12:25 > 0:12:31over 100 years ago and, if you're a tribal art or weapons collector,
0:12:31 > 0:12:33this is a must for you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37How much would it cost you? Well, poke around the Norfolk fair,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41you could find this on a stall down the way for £60.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45What's it worth in a specialist ethnographic sale?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Could be as much as £150.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49But it doesn't stop there.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Try this one on for size.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56What is it? It's a turtle.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00What's it made of? It's made of ironwood.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04The same wood that the African throwing club is made from,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06but it comes from a completely different place.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Think Pacific Basin.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Think Fiji, and you'd be right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:16What the Fijian craftsman around 1900 has done here
0:13:16 > 0:13:19is to craft a great lump of ironwood
0:13:19 > 0:13:22into roughly the shape of a turtle.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25It's been incised with these crude lines
0:13:25 > 0:13:30to represent the sort of shape and decoration of a turtle shell.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's had these hardwood flippers, look, added to it,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38and a very simple, crude head has been carved.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42But the best bit, for me, are the eyes.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Because what we have here are two circles of cut shell,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49with a bit of ebony in the middle,
0:13:49 > 0:13:53that make this thing look absolutely adorable.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Would anybody else think it's adorable?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57You bet your life they would.
0:13:57 > 0:14:02This is the sort of thing that you can find for £40 but, again,
0:14:02 > 0:14:07in the right sale, in the right place, could bring as much as £150.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Now that's what I call flipping marvellous.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13How are our very own tribe getting on?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16We left the Blues with one item to their name.
0:14:16 > 0:14:21- Quite like teapots.- Yes, you did say about a teapot.- I like teapots.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- I just think that's a nice... - Very Deco.- Oh, it is, isn't it?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I love the way it all comes together.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28- It's very pleasing.- It is.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- VENDOR: It's unusual to find that. - It's nice to find that on the tray.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Is there a name on it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36JRMS.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40This is all silver-plated on copper.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- But I love...- The look is just lovely, isn't it?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- The look is good, isn't it? - I like it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Really of a period, isn't it? - So, is it very expensive?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52VENDOR: Well, it's not particularly cheap. I mean, it's 110.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57I mean, I can do a bit, but I haven't really got volumes of room in it.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What's the bottom line on this one?
0:15:00 > 0:15:01I can do 85.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03ANTHONY: Bit of wear round the edges, isn't there?
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Start to see there, you've got the copper coming through.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09- VENDOR: Yeah, a little bit. - Could you do 75 on it?
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'll do 80, but that is it.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- OK.- OK?- What do you think?
0:15:14 > 0:15:17I think if I was into Deco,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21I would... I would have that, no problem.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- I think Deco's quite popular, isn't it, at the moment?- Let's do it.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- 80?- 80. I think we should.- 80. Let's do it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Happy?- I'm happy with that. - Yes, I think that's very good.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Thank you so much. - That's quite all right.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Well done, Blues.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37That makes both teams level-pegging at two items apiece.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Meanwhile, Mr Laidlaw is laying down the law.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41You can keep your brass bell.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Let me show you something with some substance.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47No swagger stick, this.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50That's a substantial gentleman's cane.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Come on, then, Dom.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Any strong vibes? What do you feel, mate?
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- That is really heavy. - Nothing, apparently.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58I think it's ebony,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01and that explains the density of the wood, yeah?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03The pommel - it's good workmanship there.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05I think it could be Indian.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07I believe it to be silver.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- Do you like?- I do, actually.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Now that we know what we know? - We really like it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- We really like it, don't we? - We do really like it.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16But we don't know what the price is. Can you check, please?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18I asked before, how much was this?
0:16:18 > 0:16:20VENDOR: It was 80, and I said you could have it for 60.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Could be £60.- All right, 60.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I think that's worth £50-£80 under the hammer.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I think we're in the safe zone. What do you reckon?
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- So, at 50, we've got a really good chance?- I think you have.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- I think you have.- 50?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- Did you hear that number? - I did, yeah.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Um, OK then, yeah. We'll do it for 50.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Thank you!- Thanks very much!
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Yes!- Guys, handshake time!
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Crikey, Reds. You can certainly strut your stuff!
0:16:49 > 0:16:53That's all three items bought with ten minutes left on the clock.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Meanwhile, the Blues haven't moved far,
0:16:55 > 0:16:59and they're going slightly potty over their next potential purchase.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Is this pewter?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03- VENDOR:- That actually is 18th century, that.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05A Georgian commode liner.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06To pop into a potty?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Mm. But they're very rare. You don't actually find very many.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11How much is it?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Well, it should be worth a lot more than it is,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16but I'll do it for 35, if you want it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Do you know, I like that, it's bizarre.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Come on, Catherine, we want an opinion.- I know! It's just, it's...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- There's no, as far as I can see, no marks.- How commercial is this?
0:17:26 > 0:17:29You could use it for your bottle of champagne, couldn't you?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Hmm, I'm not sure I'd be putting ice or my champers
0:17:32 > 0:17:34in a commode liner, if that's what it is.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Shall I see if it fits? - Or putting it on my head, Tone!
0:17:36 > 0:17:38It actually had -
0:17:38 > 0:17:40in fact, it's still there, if you want to go and see it -
0:17:40 > 0:17:42this was completely off,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45and it was stitched together with thread, around the metal.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Oh, really?
0:17:46 > 0:17:48And it had a big label on it, "very rare".
0:17:48 > 0:17:50This has been repaired, though?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Well, I think they nearly always are.
0:17:52 > 0:17:5418th century, that one.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Well, 1700 and something, yeah.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I mean, it's old. - Probably about 1760s, 1770s?
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- What is it, 30?- 35.- 35.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I prefer 30. Your price is much better!
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I'm already not getting anywhere with that.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13I mean, I just thought, you know, I'll do it for 35, cos I thought...
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Would you see a difference in going to 33?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18- Oh, that is... - Oh, that's so hard.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Well, I'm already on a loss. Go on, 33.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25A pot to pee, for 33.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Thank you very much! That's lovely.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Thank you, we're done!
0:18:30 > 0:18:32That's it, time's up!
0:18:32 > 0:18:37So we got three items, we panicked a bit at the end, but we've done it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38- We rock.- We do!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Well done, Blues. You got there in the end.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Let's check out what the Red Team bought, eh?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47First in the firing line was the collection of toy soldiers.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48They paid £20.
0:18:49 > 0:18:54The second item they elected for was the polling sign - £15 paid.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58And finally, they waltzed away with a walking stick for £50.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Well, you two.- Hello.- How'd it go? - Very well. Really good.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- Yeah, we've really enjoyed ourselves, thank you.- Yeah.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- Rumour has it you spent a tonne of cash.- Not that much, but, yeah...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- How much?- £85.- Is that all? - Yeah, that's all.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16£85! Why do I give you £300?!
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Anyway, £85 no doubt very well spent. Good.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23£215 of leftover lolly, please.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- There you go.- Thank you very much.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- That's a massive amount, that is, isn't it?- Yeah.- Good.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Which is your favourite piece, Alison?
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- My favourite are the toy soldiers. - Toy soldiers are your favourite.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Yes.- What about you, Dominic? - Yeah, toy soldiers, yeah.- OK.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Are they going to bring the biggest profit?- Yes.- They are?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- I think the cane might.- The cane might?- Yeah, I think it might.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- But I like the soldiers. - Well, give it a bit of stick, eh?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Now, hand it over to Paulus.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48That's a great wodge there, Paul, I hope you're going to spend it all.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I've no idea what I'm going to do with it, Tim. No idea,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53but I better do something quick before they go home!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Before they all pack up. - Indeed.- Exactly right.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Anyway, good luck with that,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00now we're going to check out what the Blue Team bought, aren't we?
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Their first choice was the set of sack scales.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05They paid £38.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09It was the silver-plated tea set next.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11They handed over £80.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And, finally, they all had a cackle over the witch's hat commode liner.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17£33 paid.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Which is your favourite piece, Rebecca?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23I still love the first thing we bought, the potato scales.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Potato scales for you, very good. - Yep.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28And which do you feel most in love with?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- I tend towards the tea set, cos it's just so classy.- So classy.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34And that's what we like, is classiness, on this show.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38And will your classy tea set bring the biggest profit?
0:20:38 > 0:20:39I haven't the faintest idea.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Probably.- OK.- What do you think?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43- No, potato scales! - Will bring the biggest profit?
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Yeah, it's a winner. - You might be right, actually.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47OK, fine. And you spent how much?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- £151.- 151?- We did, yes.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53151, so I want 149, then.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55- Absolutely. Tony?- £149.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Thank you. 149. I'm going to be counting all the little coins,
0:21:00 > 0:21:02as are millions of people.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04You've got a fiver in there, good.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06I'll have four of those, thank you.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- There's a heap for you, then, Catherine.- There is a heap.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11- You love all that, don't you? - I do. What a challenge!
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I'm going to do my best to blow the lot.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Good.- Excellent. - That's what we like.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17More fighting talk. Great!
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Meanwhile, in just a few short moments,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22we're going to find ourselves at the auction. Oh, lovely.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Well, how lovely is this?
0:21:35 > 0:21:38We're in Cambridge, at Cheffins Saleroom, with Charles Ashton.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- Charles, how are you doing?- Very well, Tim. Nice to see you here.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43Well, we're looking forward to the auction, I can tell you.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44And we've got a mixture of lots,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- starting off with Mr Laidlaw's toy soldiers.- Yeah.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52I mean, they're a nice little group of Hill's toy soldiers.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Yeah, very nice if you wanted a little play.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Absolutely, yeah. - How much would it cost you to play?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Not a lot, probably only £20 or £30.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- That's fine, £20 was paid, so that should be a dead cert.- Yep.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05Next is the aluminium polling station sign,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- which is handy with any election coming up.- Absolutely.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10What's that likely to be worth?
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Well, I suppose it might have a possible student appeal.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Place like Cambridge, you get somebody who fancies themselves
0:22:15 > 0:22:18as a bit of a political animal, or what have you,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21who wants to spice up their own student digs, might go for that.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23But I think it might be a bit of a struggle.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- I can't list anybody who wants one at the moment.- No, quite.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28But you never know, you never know.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Anyway, how much?- £15 to £25.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Who knows?- £15 was genuinely paid.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36And, lastly, to give it a bit of stick, we've got this fine ebony
0:22:36 > 0:22:39and Indian silver topped walking stick,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41which is really chunky, isn't it?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45Yes, it is. It's a good quality item, feels good in the hand.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Nice quality sort of Arabesque, foliate detail to the handle,
0:22:49 > 0:22:53which will be in an unmarked but I think low-grade silver.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Typical Indian stuff. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57It's in basically pretty good shape.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00It's obviously been well-loved and well-used.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Do you think it's worth £50?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- We've only said £20-£40 on it.- OK.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Might make 50, though, mightn't it? - It might do, yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I mean, walking sticks are one of those collectibles
0:23:09 > 0:23:13which have gone up and up recently, and it's a perfectly genuine thing.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Anyway, we'll have to live in hope. - Absolutely.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17But if it doesn't do very well, they'll need their bonus buy,
0:23:17 > 0:23:19so let's go and have a look at it.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22- Now, Alison, Dom.- Hello.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25We come to the bonus buy moment.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28You spent £85. Miserable!
0:23:28 > 0:23:33- And you gave him £215.- We did. - Paul, what did you spend it on?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Now, what do you make of that?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Oh!- Now, you know what it is, don't you?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Oh, it's a part of a propeller, isn't it?- You are spot on.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Yes! Ah. - So not any timber photograph frame.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49This started life as a Flying Corps laminated propeller frame.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54- Fantastic.- So if you can feel history in objects, this has got it.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56But I say this has -
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- these have. - Oh, you got a pair!
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Wow, interesting!- Get me another pair, I defy you. Have a look.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- Wow, thank you.- Wow, did you get...
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Same aircraft?- Inevitably.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07I really love these.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09They are absolutely spectacular.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Something I would choose, with an Air Force background, as I have.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14But I also want to knwo how much they cost.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Indeed, this was the biggie.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19I paid £55 for the two.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- Right.- Oh, right.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- You could pay £55 for one, effortlessly.- Really?
0:24:24 > 0:24:29- If I'd got 75, I'd be happy. - Yes.- Could we see 100?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Yes, we could. That would be a great margin.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I love them. I'd buy these myself.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39They're the sort of thing that actually shouts history at you.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Yeah. OK, well, we like 'em. Thank you very much, Paul.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44But right now, for the audience at home,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46let's find out exactly how much the auctioneer loves them.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51- You ready for takeoff, Charles? - Yeah, look at that.- Yes, I know.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- I mean, they're bits of propeller, aren't they?- They are.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58They must be the tips of a propeller. Early 20th century.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Not a lot of finesse and quality about the construction
0:25:01 > 0:25:04and the manufacture of them, but I suppose
0:25:04 > 0:25:07if you're a collector of early 20th century, erm,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11aeronautica, if we can call it that, then they might appeal to you.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- And everybody loves a photo frame. - Absolutely.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17And what is more evocative of a period,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19particularly at the moment,
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- than First World War related stuff?- Yes.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- So, how much, do you think? - We haven't been very bold.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- We've said between £20 and £40 only. - £55 Paul Laidlaw paid.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32That's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35For a kick-off for them, the sack scales.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37I suppose you could heave your sack of coal onto them
0:25:37 > 0:25:39as much as your sack of potatoes
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and check they were the correct weight, all the rest of it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44OK, so you're not going to be terribly bold
0:25:44 > 0:25:45with the price, I guess?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- No.- How much?- I think we've said £20-£30 only.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- OK, well, £38 was paid.- Right.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Next, and I think much more interesting,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58is this very satisfactory Art Deco three-piece tea set on its tray.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Yes, indeed.- Isn't that handsome, as a design object?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04I think the design works very well indeed. It's a pretty, pretty set.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07It's made by a firm called John Round and Son, who are not
0:26:07 > 0:26:09as well-known as people like Walker and Hall
0:26:09 > 0:26:11or James Dixon of Sheffield.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Hopefully the combination of all the little bit of detail
0:26:14 > 0:26:16that goes into the making of this
0:26:16 > 0:26:18will make it appeal to all the collectors out there.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20And what's your estimate?
0:26:20 > 0:26:24We've been a bit cautious, and said only £40-£60.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Don't worry about it. £80 was paid.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30And lastly, for those who have almost everything,
0:26:30 > 0:26:34you have an opportunity for a pewter jerry, is it?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I think it must be a commode, a liner.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Yes, I think it was originally called a witch's hat,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44but it's more of an old-fashioned Welsh hat, I think,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46in terms of the shape and the form.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But it just begs the question of what does one do with it?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52It's had a bit of... Somebody's probably sat on it a bit too hard.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53HE LAUGHS
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's quite old, too.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57We think probably late 18th or early 19th century.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01- Difficult thing to value.- Yeah, impossible, really. Yes, absolutely.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03So what sort of amount have you put on it?
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I think we've sort of suggested it might be worth
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- in the region of £20 or so. - Well, £33 was our investment.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- And I suppose for a bit of fun anything might happen.- Precisely.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15By the time you've camped it up from the rostrum, Charles,
0:27:15 > 0:27:18we could make something stratospheric out of it.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19But in case it all goes wrong
0:27:19 > 0:27:21they've always got their bonus buy to fall back on.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Let's go and have a look at it.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Now, Rebecca, Anthony, how are you? - Very well, thank you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Are you excited about this? - Yes, absolutely.- Very.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32We're excited too. Now, you gave Catherine £149.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Catherine, what did you spend it on?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Oh! Little dog.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's a dog. Right. OK!
0:27:39 > 0:27:42- It's actually a mascot, a car mascot.- Oh!
0:27:42 > 0:27:45I was drawn to it because it's a model of a greyhound.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48But look at the detail, look at these individual hairs.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- I thought the detail was superb. - That is beautiful.- It's lovely.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54And it's solid nickel.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56What car would that've been for, then? Greyhound?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- I don't think it was for a particular make of car.- Right.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02Exactly. So, they had two breeds of mascots,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05one that went with a mark of car - so you bought an Alvis,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08and that always had a hare sitting on its hind legs
0:28:08 > 0:28:12on the bonnet, before the Second World War.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Or you went to the accessory shop
0:28:14 > 0:28:18and bought the accessory that reflected your personal interest,
0:28:18 > 0:28:21maybe in sport, or whatever. And then you'd select your mascot.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24But these things are incredibly collectible, aren't they, Catherine?
0:28:24 > 0:28:27They are, and especially a dog.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I mean, I think people will go crazy.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I think people will be excited by this.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33What did you pay for it, Catherine?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- £65.- Oh! That's all right.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Yeah, I think it's all right.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I would like to see that making a profit, I really would.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42You don't pick right now,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44you pick after the sale of your first three items,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46but for the audience at home let's find out
0:28:46 > 0:28:49what the auctioneer thinks about Catherine's greyhound mascot.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Well. He's a nice hound, look. - Isn't he just?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Yeah, standing very well, beautifully poised, you might say.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Little bit of general age wear to the plated surface,
0:29:00 > 0:29:03with sort of a screw thread fixing underneath.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06But actually, yeah, a pretty little...
0:29:06 > 0:29:08I suppose a car mascot of some sort.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Or you could equally mount it onto a base
0:29:10 > 0:29:13and have it as a rather nice paperweight on the desk.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16It's certainly, you know, fairly substantial,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- it's a decent weight. - Feels like 1920s, doesn't it?
0:29:19 > 0:29:20Yeah, it does. It does.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22I think it's certainly between the wars.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- I wouldn't think it's any earlier than that.- No.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27And again, we can't see any particular maker's marks on it,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- so it's impossible to say precisely who manufactured it.- Mm.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34- But it's nice quality. - What sort of estimate?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37Because it has no maker's name to it, we've suggested only £20 to £30.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Oh, dear. Catherine's going to be mortified. £65, she paid.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- But you never know.- You never know. You might get some dog fanatic,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48- greyhound addict, that'll go for it. - Yes. Thank you, Charles.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Very good. OK, Charles, you'd best run along to the rostrum
0:29:52 > 0:29:54and get this sale underway.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- Now, Alison, Dominic, how are you feeling?- Hi!
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Oh, few butterflies.- Are you? - Yes, little bit.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Is there anything, Alison, you wish you hadn't bought?- No.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- No, you're very confident. - No, I like them all.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08- Dom, you're happy with that. - Absolutely, yes.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Lots of people in the saleroom, and it's a good general sale, so you'll be great.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- Happy with this?- Absolutely. - Absolutely.- OK, Paul?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Anyway, first item up is the toy soldiers, and here they come.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21World War I British soldiers, there they are, the infantry,
0:30:21 > 0:30:23in various states of readiness for battle.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25You tell me 25 to get on, £25.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27£25 is bid in the room.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30At 25 down here at the front, thank you, at 25 here.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32At 25, where's 30 gone now?
0:30:32 > 0:30:3530, your neighbour, have here at 30.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37And five at the back, 35 there, 35.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39And 40, 40 bid now, 40.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- Look! You've doubled your money! - 45, 45. And 50 bid now, 50. At 50?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47No, he says. The bid's here. 50, and 60...
0:30:47 > 0:30:48It will go higher.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51And the 60, no, you're both out now. So bid at 60.
0:30:51 > 0:30:52One at the back, bid at 60,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- £60, and away then.- £60!
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Anybody else?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59All done then, well done. At £60.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- £60 is plus £40.- That's good, isn't it? Fantastic.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- I think Paul Laidlaw's phenomenal, don't you?- Thanks, Paul!
0:31:04 > 0:31:05He's our man.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Now, here comes to the polling station.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- You found it, Alison, you loved it.- I did, yep.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12There we are, the polling station sign.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16If you haven't got one of these, now is your chance.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Have your own polling station set up
0:31:18 > 0:31:20somewhere for the next round of elections.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23There we are, might do for student rooms, who knows?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25There we are. The world is your oyster.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I've got a bid for it, at 15, and 20 is bid now.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- At 25, already bid, now, 25 bid. - Yes!
0:31:30 > 0:31:34At 25 the bid, now, £25 for the polling station sign.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36At 25, bid now, 25.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38At 25, and 30.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42£35 bid. At 35, still going here at £35.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Have we reached the limit?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45At 35 it is, then, hammer up and down.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47The polling station at £35.
0:31:47 > 0:31:48Sold at 35.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52£35 is plus £20 on that.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Now, are we going to get a profit on the stick?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Yes, yes, yes. Well, little bit.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Got a substantial quality lot here.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Bid's at... 20 starts it off, already, at 20 I'm bid now, 20.
0:32:04 > 0:32:0625 I have now, 25 bid.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09At 25 to start me off. At 25 and here, 30.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11At 35. At 40.
0:32:11 > 0:32:1340 at the front.
0:32:13 > 0:32:1445. And 50.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15And 60.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17At the back now, 60 bid, 60.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Out at the front, 60, in at the back, bid at 60.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Anybody else, any more?
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Has to be the 60. Done then, selling it away, yes or no at £60.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Yes! Well done. £60 is plus £10.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32You got a profit on each item.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34£40, £60, £70, easy.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- £70 profit.- Thanks, Paul! - £70 profit.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now, what are you going to do, then,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42about these propeller tip frame jobs?
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- We're going to safeguard our profits, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- That's what we said.- Yeah. Sorry, Paul, but...- It's all right!
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- You're going to ringfence them. - Do you mind?- Not at all, make good money.
0:32:51 > 0:32:52We think it might make a profit, but...
0:32:52 > 0:32:55It might, but we're not going to risk it, Paul. Is that OK?
0:32:55 > 0:32:56- Of course it is!- Sure?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59You're dead to me now, you know that?
0:32:59 > 0:33:01- No, seriously, is that it? - Yeah, that's it.- OK.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03We're not going with the bonus buy, that's a cert.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07Let's find out what the bonus buy is really worth, here we go.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10£25 to get on for those, the pair of these photograph frames.
0:33:10 > 0:33:11£25 to start me.
0:33:11 > 0:33:1425, 25 it is. At 25 bid now.
0:33:14 > 0:33:1625 takes me out as well.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19At 25 bid now, 25 it is, at £25. Any more for any more, or not?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21They've come all this way, remember.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24At £25, and I shall sell, then, leaving it alone. Anybody else?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27All done then at £25.
0:33:27 > 0:33:2825.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Good call!- Minus £30.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35Another sale, another day, another price. OK. But that's good.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- Brilliant.- Good call, as he says, you are plus £70.- Brilliant, thank you.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41There's no point in depressing the Blues,
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- so don't tell them anything, all right?- Absolutely won't.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Any idea how the Reds got on? - No.- None?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- No, blank canvas on their way out. - Really?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- It's a marvellous thing, the RADA school, isn't it?- Yes.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Becky, you bought a set of sack scales.- Yes.- It was your pick.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03- Yes.- Why?!
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Cos they're rather handsome.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Are they?- And everyone has potatoes
0:34:07 > 0:34:09that they need to weigh at some point.
0:34:09 > 0:34:10You paid £38.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14The auctioneer in this agricultural area has estimated £20-£30.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- OK.- So anything could happen.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19There we go, your first item, and here it comes.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22There we are. Again, bid me £25. Good old set of scales.
0:34:22 > 0:34:2325 is bid there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26At 25 I have in. At 25 the bid, now, £25.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Old faithful over here.
0:34:28 > 0:34:3025 bid, now, 25 it is for the sack scales.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Anybody else have a burning use for sack scales here?- Course they do!
0:34:33 > 0:34:3530 there. At 30. 35.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3640.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- 40, 45. - Sensational! Well done.
0:34:39 > 0:34:4345 bid, now. £45. Right hand that is in, left is out, £45, then.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47All done, then, at £45.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52Go, go, Rebecca! That's so cool, £45.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- Plus £7.- Not so bad!
0:34:54 > 0:34:56OK, Catherine, now's your chance, darling.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01Quality Art Deco period, John Round and Son Sheffield tea set.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06Art Deco tea set, four pieces, tray, and the other pieces to join it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Interest starts at 40, 45.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1250. And 60's bid to begin.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Oh, we've still got a little way.
0:35:14 > 0:35:1560. And 70.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18And 80, on the button I'm bid at 80.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- And 90.- And you're in profit!
0:35:20 > 0:35:21That's so good!
0:35:21 > 0:35:24£100 bid, now £100. Should've started here at 100.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Bid now at 100. 100 bid now.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28The room is out now...
0:35:28 > 0:35:30See, I take it all back,
0:35:30 > 0:35:31she does know what she's doing.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34All done, then, I shall sell at £100, then.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38£100 equals plus £20.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40And well done. Yes.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Now, the witch's hat.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43What do you say for that? £25.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4520 if you want it. 20 for it, surely.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47£20, get on with it. 20?
0:35:47 > 0:35:5020, I have a bid, my goodness me. At 20 I'm bid now, 20.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52At 20 I'm bid now.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Somebody's obviously got the commode and is missing the liner.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59At 20, bid at 20. All done, then, no more bids?
0:35:59 > 0:36:00I shall sell, then, at £20.
