0:00:20 > 0:00:25I'm certainly ready. Are you? Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:52 > 0:00:57Welcome to the South of England Showground here in Ardingly.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00There's lots to do, so no point in hanging about.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Let's take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06The plucky Reds put on a good show.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08# We're going to find a bargain!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12# We're going to dig deep! #
0:01:13 > 0:01:15The Blues have a novel way to haggle.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Heads is 60, tails 65.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19THEY LAUGH
0:01:20 > 0:01:23And at the auction, the Reds are raring to go.
0:01:23 > 0:01:2555. 60.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26£60.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And the Blues go bananas.
0:01:28 > 0:01:3040.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31£40.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Gosh, we've got some smashing teams on the show today.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41For the Reds, we've got friends Sophie and Alice.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And for the Blues, Austin and Dean, best buddies.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45Well, they are at the moment!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- Hello, everyone! - ALL: Hello!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Lovely to see you. Now, Soph, how did you two girls meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53I was searching for a flat to live in in London and so was Alice.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And we both knew a mutual friend and so, through that friend,
0:01:56 > 0:01:58we met and we just started living together.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- And how long did you share the flat for?- Two-and-a-half years.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05That's a long test of a friendship, two-and-a-half years.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07We came out the other side! We're not living together any more.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Did she used to nick the best bits from the fridge without telling you?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13No. Actually, no.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15So, you're not your typical student, are you?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17- You like a bit of fine dining.- Yes.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Do a bit of posh cooking, invite everyone round, couple of cocktails.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Oh!- Well, she would do the cooking, I'd just eat. And drink.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24And do the washing up.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- No, good fun, though, isn't it? - Oh, yes.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Yes.- Great.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Now, music plays a huge part in your life, Soph.- It does.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yeah, tell us about that.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, I'm currently a postgraduate student
0:02:35 > 0:02:38at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and I play the violin.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42Well done. They don't hand that out like bags of sweets, do they?
0:02:42 > 0:02:43No, I guess not.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46And, Alice, tell us about your musical life.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Well, I went to music school when I was 13.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52And then I went off to boarding school in Somerset
0:02:52 > 0:02:56and then I kind of took a different path and went into art instead.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00And then, what do you do in terms of your artistic endeavours right now?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I am in my final year at Central St Martins
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and I'm studying XD contextual practice,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10which is research-led participatory sculptures,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12immersive installations...
0:03:12 > 0:03:14- What's that in English?- Erm...
0:03:14 > 0:03:17It's the kind of stuff you'd see in Tate Modern, I suppose.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Kind of big sculptures, big structures.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24And it's not just in the UK that you put your skills to good use, is it?
0:03:24 > 0:03:29Well, I spent a while in Paris at the Beaux Arts in Paris, the art school there,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31and I specialised in bookbinding whilst I was there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Are you going to go for books today on Bargain Hunt, do you think, if you could find some?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- We could see. You've got the eye. - Yeah, if we see something we like.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And the technical skills. What about musical instruments?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Are you going to go for a musical instrument?- Yeah, why not?
0:03:43 > 0:03:47We've got some experts here. Better stand by, Bargain Hunters, it's going to be fun today.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Now, Dean, tell me, how did you two meet?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53We actually both worked in the same industry,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- but in competitive broking shops. - And what's the broking business?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Ship broking. We're in the dry-bulk sector.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Are you? Which is better than being in the wet-bulk sector, isn't it?
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- It's not, actually, no!- What, you'd rather be in wet bulk, would you?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Yes.- That's oil and stuff like that.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12There's a lot more money in that at the moment.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And how long have you been doing this ship broking lark?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I'm relatively new. I'm just shy of a year.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18And what were you doing before?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- I actually studied graphic design and fancied a change.- Good.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25So, Austin, tell me some more about ship broking, because you've done it for yonks.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Yeah, I'm a little more experienced.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29In general, the work's really exciting.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32It's fast paced, it's international, there's a lot of travel.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We try and match, you know, ships which might come from China
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- with cargo that might come from America.- Yeah.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39So you're working across time zones and...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Now, you've been known to tread the boards a bit. You're a thespian.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Yeah, well, yeah. Probably wrong tense. Was.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47But when I was in university, I did a lot of it.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50But, you know, it's a tough business and you've got to be real brave to do it and I wasn't.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- Was this the comedy end of it all, was it?- Well, anything, man.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57We did contemporary American plays, Shakespeare, whatever.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59What are your tactics today, chaps?
0:04:59 > 0:05:04For us, this is really important. Our clients trust us to negotiate for millions of dollars, so...
0:05:04 > 0:05:05Like a true broker!
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Anyway, on a happy note, £300 each.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Here we go. Here comes the 300 smackers. £300.- Thank you very much.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Happy with that? £300.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15You're getting ready for this, aren't you, Soph? You're all itching for it!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17There you go, £300. You know the rules.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Your experts await and off you go! And jolly, jolly, jolly good luck.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What fun!
0:05:23 > 0:05:28And of course, our two tenacious teams need two exotic experts.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Easy, tiger! It's only Charles Hanson.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35He'll be with the Reds today.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And getting all in a spin with the Blues, it's Charlie Ross.
0:05:40 > 0:05:41What's the plan?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- We're going to look for quality items, maybe some jewellery. - Good quality.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46We're thinking maybe jewellery.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- But do know anything about jewellery?- Yeah, Dean's from Essex!
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- So, quality, the very best? - Yeah. You've got us down to a T.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56On your marks, get set, go!
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Your time starts now! - WHISTLE
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Follow me.- Let's go and find some jewellery, come on!
0:06:01 > 0:06:05So, there's going to be a bit of a ding-dong over the bling-bling
0:06:05 > 0:06:07today. So, good luck, teams.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Let's start over here. Morning, sir.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Well, well, well. And just look what our musicians have found.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- What is that, a lute, a mandolin? - A mandolin, something like that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Sophie'll know more about it.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yeah, it's got four strings, like a violin.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And the mandolin is related to the violin, I think.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- Hold on, can you play it? - Can I play it? Well...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Can you give us a few... - I'll give us a tune.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Give our rhythm and rhyme.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# We're going to find a bargain...
0:06:33 > 0:06:34# We're going to... #
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Er, yeah, I'd stick to the auctioneering, Carlos.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Now, the Blues have found themselves in a bit of a sticky situation.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- It's a bit like the Somme here. - Pretty muddy. - Have you got the right footwear?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I don't think you're going to find your jewellery in here, guys.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- No, definitely not.- What is that?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's some sort of sight. Looks like there's a fair bit missing.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Come on, boys, let's focus on the plan, eh?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Oh, good. Charles has stopped singing!
0:06:58 > 0:07:02- What's the condition like? Because cracked can really affect... - It's missing a fret.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Yes, just here is a missing fret. We can see on the inside it's marked...
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- It's got a label inside as well. - Can you see the label inside?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Ferrari.- Ferrari, vroom-vroom!
0:07:11 > 0:07:13What I quite like, Alice and Sophie,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17is this lovely, almost tortoiseshell fan-shaped inlay.
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Nice sign of quality.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22And if you twist it round, look at this lovely, lovely stringing here.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26All in good condition on a rosewood, exotic, expensive timber.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30I think it's worth at auction, before he tells us...
0:07:30 > 0:07:33(between 50 and £70.)
0:07:33 > 0:07:35What's that, Carlos? Between 50 and 70?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- How much, sir, is it?- 35.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Your lovely mandolin. - That's done it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I'm kind of thinking we should get it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Ask him what his very best is.- OK.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Kind sir, what's your very, very, very best?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48I could go to 30.
0:07:48 > 0:07:4930? 25?
0:07:49 > 0:07:53- No, I can't. 30, 30.- 28? - It's got to be 30.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Hand on heart, I never want to buy early,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58but I think this, with our association, being together...
0:07:58 > 0:08:03It's functional. You can use it. That's one of the things I want to buy, something that's functional.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Let's do it.- Alice, seal the deal. - Yeah, I think we'll take it.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Off to a record start. One item down.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- One item down, two more to go. - In five minutes!
0:08:12 > 0:08:13Well done, Reds.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You've orchestrated your first deal.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Come on, lads! You're still playing catch up.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Silver pocket watches.
0:08:20 > 0:08:2318th and 19th century. They'll be a safe item.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I think you could buy a silver pocket watch for 30, 40, £50.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- They're not expensive for what they are.- Right.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32But whether you get a profit out of them...
0:08:32 > 0:08:36The girls are already lining up their next potential purchase.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- We're going to go in for the kill soon.- Sir, excuse me?
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Before we go, have you got anything that's quite curious,
0:08:42 > 0:08:44quite interesting?
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Well, I do have a rather interesting table lighter.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Amazing.- Hold on...
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Testing, one, two...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Oh, Lordy, not again, Charles, please!
0:08:55 > 0:08:56It's a table lighter.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59So, you can see, on your table you would flick that switch...
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- Japan.- Yeah, it is Japanese.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- They love karaoke.- Oh, do they? - They do in Japan. Really.- Really?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09I bet you didn't know that the meaning of karaoke in Japanese
0:09:09 > 0:09:12is empty orchestra. A definite theme here, girls.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- It's quite tactile, as well.- It's the kind of thing I can imagine,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17like, a boutique hotel or a cocktail bar buying.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I can see this maybe making 40, £50.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- It's so novel and I haven't seen one before.- I want to get it for £10.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- How much?- £10. Whoa!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Sir, excuse me?- Let's see. Let's see.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33What is your very, very, very best price on the microphone table lighter?
0:09:33 > 0:09:3415, sound.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- 15?- 15?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- That is kind of what we were thinking.- Can you do it for 10?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- OK, I can't say no to a pretty lady. - Oh, thank you so much!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- Thank you very much.- Yeah, thank you. That's great. Cheers.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Thank you.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Hold on.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52It's going, going, gone!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Well done. I think you have a fan there. That's two in the bag now.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- How much have we got left over? - £260.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03I think we're going to go for the big one. This is going to be the big one, this buy.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05And when you say big, what are you looking for?
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Not necessarily big, but big value.- High value.- Yeah.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12So, yeah, we almost, I think, knowing this antiques fair,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- the really big, expensive small items are over there.- OK!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- In a very nice carpeted interior. - Perfect.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Well, that's where we want to be.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23A carpeted area to find a high-priced item, hey, Charles?
0:10:23 > 0:10:24I like the sound of that.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28I also like the idea that the Blues may be about to buy
0:10:28 > 0:10:30something from a rather shy stallholder.
0:10:30 > 0:10:31Ah, bless...
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Is that a calculator?- It is, yes. - Really?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37What a fascinating thing.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Do you know if that had its original instructions...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Are the instructions missing, guv'nor?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Er, we can find them, probably.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Probably. What do you think about that?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- I like that.- I mean, have you ever seen a calculator like that?
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- Never in my life.- It's certainly between the wars, I would say.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56It's marked up at £28.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58£28 is a little expensive, I think, because it is kind of, er...
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- He's obviously the negotiator. - He's straight in there.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- So, how much do you want to pay for it?- 18?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- I don't suppose it cost a lot. - Yeah, I think 18's about...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10What an interesting figure you came up with.
0:11:10 > 0:11:1118. It is.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Could you sell it for £18?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16It would be wrong for me to agree straightaway, so 20 would be nice, thank you.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Shall we say we'll have it for 20 if you can find the instructions?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Oh, look!- Look what I've found. - Oh, brilliant.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- Oh!- Amazing. - We've got the calculator.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28We've got the instructions. We're about to lose 20 quid.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- How about that?- Put it there! - Put it there!
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Dean, lovely jubbly!
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Wonderful to buy something with you, boys.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36And that's how it's done, chaps.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Ha! Now, let's see if our teams can work some magic.
0:11:39 > 0:11:4330 minutes in and the Reds have made a cracking start.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Two items in 20 minutes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48The Blues, however, are finding it all a bit much.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49Just one item so far.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Come on, Charlie. Time to take charge of this situation.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57One of you start there, one of you start there, work down
0:11:57 > 0:12:00and give me a scream if you see something you can't live without.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Jolly good advice, Charlie, old fruit.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Meanwhile, the Reds are en route to the carpeted area.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Everything's half-price at the moment.- Oh, really?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- That sounds good.- Yeah.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Especially this man, cos he's only got one leg,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- he can be half-price. He might be real plastic.- Could be plastic?
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- SHE LAUGHS - Absolutely! I like your style.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Ooh, I got excited for a bit.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Thank you.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Now come on, guys. This is a nine carat Waltham watch.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That's a pukka job, you know.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29This gentleman is not going to give you a gold pocket watch.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- 650.- £650? No, we don't have that, guys.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Come on, chaps. I think you need to lower your sights somewhat.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Now that's French.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Or Swiss.- Swiss.- Swiss.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Key, how good is the enamelling?
0:12:42 > 0:12:46Well, I reckon it's near-perfect.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Take away the decoration off the back.- Right.- I think you've got
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- 60 to 80 quid.- Yes.- If the auctioneers were to illustrate that
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- in a catalogue, can you imagine a photograph of that?- Right.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- For sure.- Close up.- Yeah, that is eye-catching.- People will be
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- coming from miles around for something like that.- Right.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- I think it's just beautiful.- It is. - What's the absolute...- What is
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- the best...?- ..I'm going to use a desperate expression here - death?
0:13:07 > 0:13:08I hate the expression, but...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11- 120.- I think what we're going to do, if we may...- Have a look round.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14We really like that. We're going to have a look round.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- If we get down to the last two minutes...- Let's do it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Thank you for your help.- ..we'll sprint over and buy that
0:13:18 > 0:13:20for £120. Thank you, sir.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23It sounds pricey and a little more within your budget.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24One for the back burner, maybe.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Meanwhile, the Reds have found the carpeted area.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Now for the high-priced item, eh?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32You've got draughts, dominoes.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34What I quite like is this
0:13:34 > 0:13:37very well-turned chess set here.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- What do you think?- I like it a lot. I'm just...- It's approaching
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- a big spend.- Mm.- Yes.- Because, sir, how much is it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- It's got to be 150.- We don't have to rush anything,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48- cos we can always come back. - No. I think...
0:13:48 > 0:13:51These girls are well in control, which is more than I can say for...
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Right, guys. You need to concentrate like mad. So do I.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Look here, if you can't find something here,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- you won't find anything anywhere. - What's this right here?- I like that.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- May we look at your propelling pencil, my darling?- You may.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- It's gold. Nine carat gold. - Oh, yeah.- How old is it?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's nine carat gold. It's very Victorian, I would say.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13It's unusual to have a pin on the propelling pencil.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I think that adds to it, though. I really do.- Well, I think
0:14:16 > 0:14:19you're right. Nine carat, I imagine.
0:14:19 > 0:14:2065, the best on that.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Ooh! I like that look.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26- Give us- £5. £60?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27- No.- No? - THEY LAUGH
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Heads is 60. Tails 65.- OK.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34- ALL:- Oh! - Tails!
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- What is it?- Heads.- Tails!
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- LAUGHTER - I'm honest, it was tails.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Because I'm so honest, we can have it for 60, can't we?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- No.- Boys, that is a good price. I promise you, that is a good price.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- OK.- Great.- We really shouldn't lose money on that.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Flipping heck! Finally.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52So, as I see it, guys, you've got two options here.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You've got one, which is to run around here
0:14:54 > 0:14:57like a couple of lunatics trying to find something in four minutes
0:14:57 > 0:15:00or we go off and buy the watch.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I like the watch, I'm leaning towards the watch, I think.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Money is an issue, but we are running out of options and time.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I love the watch. I want to buy the watch. I'm just not sure it's going
0:15:10 > 0:15:12to make any money and I know, in shipping,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15if he was a Greek shipper and we ran over there at the 11th hour
0:15:15 > 0:15:17and say, "Give it to us, we need it", he'll go...
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- IN GREEK ACCENT: - "The price has doubled!"
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Well, let's go and see if that's happened.- OK.- Let's do it.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Oh, dear. I have that sinking feeling. Good luck, chaps.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Is it still here?- There it is! - It is, if you're lucky.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30- HE LAUGHS - We're lucky.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- LAUGHTER - It is 120, isn't it?- Thank you.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Freshly minted, sir.- He's got the readies.- One of those, sir.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Wonderful. Thank you very much, John.- Thank you.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I'm very pleased with that, boys.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- You like it, don't you?- Over the moon with it.- You love it.- I love it.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- And we're going to win the competition.- Dean's got a...
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Ooh! That's fighting talk right there.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Would you believe, after all, that the Blues have finished
0:15:49 > 0:15:51ahead of the Reds.
0:15:51 > 0:15:52Come on, girls. Two minutes left.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Sir. I'm going to but in again.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Excuse me, we've seen your compendium already. The very best is 150?
0:15:59 > 0:16:04- Absolutely.- One thing that caught my eye is this nice corkscrew here.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07If I just said to you, out of interest... Are you into corkscrews?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Yes.- Really? Do you like wine?- Yes. - Good. Fine.- Who doesn't?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I think these are quite nice. OK, this is what I love.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17And if we perhaps, for example, put maybe that one together with this one.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21These are Victorian. I would have thought the third quarter 19th-century.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23And what we could do is put the three together.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- What's the best price on these, Jeremy?- 110.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29We've got literally a minute to go. A bit less. Come on, mate.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- A nice round figure.- I'll do 100. - Shake the man's hand, quick!- OK.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Thanks, Jeremy. Thank you, Jeremy, you are a good man. £100.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- HORN BLARES - That's it, time's up.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Let's hope our team have had their eye on the ball.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- Sorry about that.- No. - We've run out of time.- You saved us.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- But I think these are quite good. - Me, too.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48I would guide these at 80 to 120,
0:16:48 > 0:16:50and I think they might just make a profit.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Blimey, Charlie, that was a close one.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56I might have to borrow one of those corkscrews and pour myself
0:16:56 > 0:16:59a stiff drink, whilst we check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02First up for the musical pair was the mandolin,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05a plucky £30 was paid.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Check, check, one, two, one, two. The microphone lighter was next.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11They paid a mere £10.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15And their final, last minute buy was the collection of corkscrews.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17They wound up the deal at £100.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Well, Alice, that looked like fun, didn't it?- It was, we had a great day.- We did. We did indeed.- Lovely.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- How much did you spend in total? - BOTH: £140.- £140.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30I'd like £160 of leftover lolly, please. Who has got that?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Exactly, I'll get that. - She's got it.- Thank you, Alice.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Which is your favourite piece?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38I think my favourite one was our first item, which was a mandolin.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- We are both musicians.- Beautifully played by me.- Absolutely.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Something to twang. And, Soph?
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Probably the second item, the table lighter.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Do you think that is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53- Unfortunately, I think it well, yes. - So, Carlos, there you go, £160
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Thanks a lot. It's got to go, because these girls are high-class.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- They certainly are.- They are.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- And you know how to recognise high-class all the time, don't you? - Of course I do.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03THEY LAUGH
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Good luck, Charlie. Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09First up for them was the pocket calculator.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12They settled on the sum of £20.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16Next up, a pretty price was paid for the propelling pencil.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18£65.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22And, finally, they wound up with the watch. £120 paid.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, team. Indecisive, would you say,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- when it comes to making a decision? - No, we just let the chips fall
0:18:30 > 0:18:31where they may.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32- You spent how much?- 205.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Isn't that a magnificent amount? - I think it's a splendid purchase.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I think it is, too. Who has got the 95, then?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41OK, thank you, I'll take it off you now. Thank you very much, Dean.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- There you go, sir.- Thank you. And which is your favourite piece, Dean?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Probably the pocket watch. - The pocket watch?- Yes.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Do you agree with that?- Yes, we are united on that, we really liked it.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- That was a purchase from the heart. - Anyway, over to you, then, Carlos.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57- You've got 95 smacks left.- Yes. I'm going to buy something I can see.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58HE LAUGHS
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Something with big types...- Yeah.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Good luck with that, Charlie. And better be smart about it
0:19:04 > 0:19:08because very shortly we are going to be shuffling off to the auction.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19Well, look at this.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23We've popped from Ardingly into posh Surrey
0:19:23 > 0:19:27to be with Catherine Southon at Catherine Southon Auctions.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Welcome, Tim.- What a thrill. Anyway, it's great to be here.- Thank you.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34The Reds will love it. They start off with this mandolin.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37The really strange thing about these things is they look as
0:19:37 > 0:19:40if they should be worth a tonne of money. Beautifully made.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- But they never are.- I know, I know. And it is quite sad.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46I mean, this was made by the Ferrari brothers.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49They made lots of different types of instruments.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Some were better made than others. We sold one that made 120.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55This is fairly ordinary,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- but if you think about the amount of work that's gone into that.- Yes.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- What do you think it might bring, then?- 50 to 80.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- Gosh, that's generous, isn't it? - Is that too much?
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Well, I don't think it's too much, it's never too much.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Have I been too generous? - £30 is all they paid.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So anything over £30 and our lot will be jumping
0:20:11 > 0:20:13up and down with joy.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17- Next is the novelty cigarette lighter.- Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Which I suspect is not as old as it looks.- No.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I think that is probably about '70s.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27And it is Japanese and it is quite poorly made.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- But I'm sure we'll have some fun with it at the auction.- OK.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- How much?- £10-£20 worth of fun. - Fine. £10 is all they paid.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- That's all right.- It is, as you say, just a bit of fun.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Less amusing but more valuable, I fancy,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43are the collection of three corkscrews.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Well, it's a market that never fails to surprise me.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Sometimes we have one in that really just goes through the roof,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and then sometimes you look at something which you think is
0:20:52 > 0:20:55exactly the same, yet it is not, it is a really niche market.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58The one, the bone one at the end there has got a few nibbles.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- But that's the earliest, isn't it? - That's the earliest one.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05That one I quite like, I like the two different woods there.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But this one here, that's probably one of...the one that is most
0:21:08 > 0:21:10well-known, because it is the Thomason type.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- That's the double helix. - Some are rarer than others.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Some can make thousands of pounds.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19But we've got a nice little selection there.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I've put £70-£100.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- I think they could make nearer 100. - OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- Who knows?- Frankly, they need to, because the team paid £100. - Oh, did they?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31In case it fails, though, they may need the bonus buy,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33so let's go and have a look at it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Well, girls, this is exciting, isn't it?- Yes.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's the leftover lolly reveal moment.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42You spent £140, which was pretty good, really,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45and you gave £160 to your man, Charles.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46What did you spend 160 on?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- I spent the entire amount.- Wow! - Did you?
0:21:49 > 0:21:52But we bought something quite wonderful. Tim, after you.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56- Ba-dum!- There we are.- Oh! - Do you like her? From Italy.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Perhaps marble, maybe alabaster.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03And she is of that Belle Epoque charm of the late 19th century.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- She glows.- I like it. I like it a lot, actually.- I like it, too.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08I was so surprised to see it.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- I've never seen a bonus buy like this before.- This isn't moulded.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16This isn't mass-produced. This is an individual, one off.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20We have got a minor issue, and you can see just on her neck.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It is more than likely she obviously had a suffering,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25maybe her head's come off.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28The restoration is quite crude.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I would still hope, with a fair wind blowing,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34she might be worth between 150 and 250.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37So it could be riches, but at the same time,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- if the two buys aren't in the saleroom...- Could be rags.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44It could be rags. And she might be wearing rags later.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45- I really like it. - I like it as well.- OK.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Right, now, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:22:48 > 0:22:51whether the auctioneer likes Charles's bust.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56And there she sits, Catherine. A good old lump, isn't she?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I think, in the right setting, she would look amazing.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03- But, and it's a big but, she has been beheaded.- Yes.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- But on the other hand it is part of the antique charm.- Exactly.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10I think she looks wonderful, and I think she's got a really good look about her.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12In the right place, on a nice plinth,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15a big country house, she would look amazing.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18It's handsome, it's in your auction, what is it going to bring?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21It looks good. I've put 100 to 150 on.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- I wouldn't be surprised if it made top end.- Good.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26£160 the team paid.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And if you put your most bullish foot forward,
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- you know and I know that it might make £200.- I hope so.- It might do.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38That's it for the Reds. Now, cantering on to the Blues.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39This is meat and drink to you
0:23:39 > 0:23:41because in the old days at Sotheby's,
0:23:41 > 0:23:44when all you did was scientific instruments
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- and marine instruments... - This is!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49So what we've got here is a calculating rule
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and this was invented by Otis King
0:23:52 > 0:23:55and he was actually a grocer and an engineer
0:23:55 > 0:24:00and it does multiplication and division and not actually an awful lot else.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02There are other versions which can calculate the roots
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and all very technical.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It's got the original case, we haven't got the lid to this,
0:24:06 > 0:24:07but it's a nice instrument.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12There are better, more exciting examples on the market
0:24:12 > 0:24:13which will make hundreds.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16This, sadly, is not going to make a vast amount,
0:24:16 > 0:24:17but it's a lovely little piece.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- How much?- £10-£20.- OK, £20 paid.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25OK, now, next is the little Victorian brooch
0:24:25 > 0:24:28in the form of a propelling pencil.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Do you like that?- I do.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I like the fact that we've got the little turquoise beading
0:24:32 > 0:24:35around the bottom of it and I like the amethyst there.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39So it's a brooch and a propelling pencil in one, which is nice.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42As a brooch, not terribly saleable.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- OK, so how much then?- £40-£60.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49The team paid £65 for that. That might be a struggle, I have to say.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Now, this intriguing enamelled ladies' fob watch,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56which is very beautifully done, isn't it?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59This is beautiful and what amazes me
0:24:59 > 0:25:03is there's so much work that's gone on this on the back of it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06We've got a lovely portrait of this lady and all this enamelling,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08which is absolutely super.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12The lovely decoration of the flowers on the back, but it's not gold.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- It's just gilt metal.- Is it Swiss?
0:25:14 > 0:25:18It's Swiss, it's got Swiss movement and a nice piece,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21a nice, attractive piece. We have had a lot of people viewing it.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- It's been quite well viewed. I think it'll do all right.- £120 paid.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Will it bring £120 in your auction?
0:25:28 > 0:25:34It might do. We've put a very speculative £50-£80.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- You're trying to tempt them.- I am hoping to give it a bit of a push.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Well, thank you for that, but if it all goes pear-shaped,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42they've always got the bonus buy to fall back on
0:25:42 > 0:25:44so let's go and have a look at it.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Well, chaps, you spent £205, which is a magnificent achievement.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52Well done, boys. And you gave £95 to Charlie Ross.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54Charlie, what did you buy?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I spent half your money, just over half your money,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- and bought you a guaranteed profit. Do you like that?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02It cannot lose.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06There's absolutely no doubt that this will make more money than £50.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That was a bit of a face of disappointment there.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Yeah, I'm not going to lie.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15It's not striking me as something I personally would like.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20It's Victorian, silver topped, no chips.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24Flick open the top, original stopper and it's a scent bottle
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- and it's a good size.- And you said you spent half the money?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- £50 I spent on it.- And how much do you think it might fetch?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34At least £60 and more like £80, I would hope.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36For the audience at home right now,
0:26:36 > 0:26:39let's find out whether it gets the ultimate accolade.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Well, Catherine, this is what they call a whopper.- It is.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48We do have quite a few private buyers who go for perfume bottles,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50but it has slowed down a little bit.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54They're not as popular and what might go against this slightly
0:26:54 > 0:26:59is the size, because people do tend to like the slightly smaller sizes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- OK.- This is quite a chunky piece. - It is, isn't it?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Maybe a couple of little nibbles, but nothing major.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10The silver is nice, it's nicely hallmarked, it's nice and clear.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I think £60-£80 on that.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Well, Charlie charmed his way to buying this for only £50
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- and it's quite a good buy, isn't it? - I think he's done well.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- OK, boy done good. Anyway, we'll find out the minute, won't we? - We will.- We will.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27OK, Catherine, it's time to get this sale under way
0:27:27 > 0:27:29and you to take your rostrum.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- How excited are you? - So excited! I can't contain myself.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- This is her first auction.- Is it? - Yeah, first auction.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42- But you've been loads, right? - I've been loads, but never with my one item up for sale.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44OK, well, this is going to be it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- You've got the mandolin, yes, made by Ferrari.- Absolutely.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51It should accelerate nicely.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54We have, ladies and gentlemen,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58a late 19th-century Italian Neapolitan mandolin
0:27:58 > 0:28:00by the Ferrari brothers.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I am looking for a mere £40 to start this one.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05£40, come on, ladies and gentlemen.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08£40, thank you, is bid. £40.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11£40, any more? £40.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14£45. £45, it is against you.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19£50, thank you. £50, why not? For all those quiet evenings. £55.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23No more? £55. If you play a tune, we might get another bid.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24£55... MANDOLIN IS STRUMMED
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Not bad. £55. £60.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32- Yes!- £60. £60. Any more? Are you bidding?
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Yours at £60. Any more at £60, then? All done, £60...
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Yes!- Yes!- Plus £30.- We doubled our money.- Well done, girls.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45- That's brilliant!- That's marvellous, isn't it, yes?- Yeah, definitely.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47You were worried. What you got to be worried about?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- We were hopeful about the mandolin. The next one, we were worried. - Are you?
0:28:51 > 0:28:58Lot 31 is a 1960s Japanese novelty microphone cigarette lighter.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Every home should have one!
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Come on, ladies and gentlemen, £10, please, £10 to start this.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Come on, £10. We have to have £10 for this, surely?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Thank you, £10 is bid.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16- £12.- £12!- £15. £18.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I've lost where I am, I never bid this low!
0:29:19 > 0:29:22LAUGHTER £20.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25£22? Why not? £22.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- £25. £28.- I'll call that a day.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Thank you, anyway. Any more? £28. All done?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Selling then, £28...
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Yes, brilliant!- Plus £18.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43You're plus £48. You've not started. Now, the three corkscrews...
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- This is the one I'm really worried about.- It cost us £100.- Yes, it did.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Any interest at £50? Come on, £50.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Come on, we all drink. £50. £50?
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Who's going to give me £50?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59Come on, if you want a microphone, you want some corkscrews.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05- I'm interested!- £40 then. £40, thank you, £40. £40, come on.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- Come on!- That's just over £10 a corkscrew.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- £40.- We need you, we need you!
0:30:12 > 0:30:20£45, come on. Any more at £45? £45 is bid, thank you, sir. £45. £50.
0:30:21 > 0:30:245. Come on, £55, any more?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28£55. £55, I hate doing this. All done?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30£55..
0:30:31 > 0:30:37- £55 is minus £45. You've got £3, girls.- We bombed!
0:30:37 > 0:30:42- We've got the bonus buy. - The choice with the £160 bust
0:30:42 > 0:30:44is one of boom or bust.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- I am positive because I am naturally optimistic.- And you are a punter.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51- So are you going to go with it or not?- Yeah, we're going with it. - They're going with the bonus buy.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55£50, any interest at £50? £50 is bid. 5.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57£60. 5. £65.
0:30:57 > 0:31:03Gentleman's bid at £65. Shall we go another? £70, why not? £75.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06No more, are you sure? £75.
0:31:06 > 0:31:12Behind you, we've got £80. £90. £95. £100.
0:31:12 > 0:31:19- £110. £120.- Come on, baby.- Yes, come on!- She is nice, exactly. £130.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24You sure, another? £130, £130 right behind you.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Any more at £130 then?
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- I will sell.- One more, yes!- £140. - And again.- Another? No more?
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Thank you. £140, nearest me at £140 then.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41£140, all done at £140?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Awww!- Sorry, team. - No, but it's OK.- Sorry!
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Was that £140? Oh, bad luck.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Minus £20, which means you are minus £17.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Not bad.- Which could be a winning score.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Yeah, it could be. - It could be, couldn't it?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Say nothing to the Blues and all will be revealed in a moment.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- OK, team, do you know how the Reds got on?- No.- We think well.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- You think well?- Big smiles on their faces.- Yeah.- Unfortunately!
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Now, first up is the calculator.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Perhaps you'll need it to calculate your profits. Here it comes.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22We have an Otis King pocket sliding calculator from the '50s.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27Who's gone to give me £10? Come on. Thank you, sir. £10, but I want more.
0:32:27 > 0:32:32£10. I've got £15. I got £20.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36- Yes, come on!- £20. I've got £25. £30.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39£30 I've got, any more?
0:32:39 > 0:32:44£30. Come on, ladies and gentlemen, £30. £35. £40.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50£40, I have £40, any more at £40? £40. £45.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Oh, come on, sir, one more. You'll need one.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- You don't need to add up to do that!- £50.- There we go.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59We have £50, any more at £50?
0:32:59 > 0:33:04£50, gentleman's bed at £50. £50, then.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08All done, selling then at £50...
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Plus £30.- Put it there. - May join in?- Put it there.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- May I join in with you maestros? - Now, stand by.- OK, boys.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Lot 50 is this rather charming
0:33:18 > 0:33:22Victorian yellow metal propelling pencil.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26£50. Come on, ladies and gentlemen, £50.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28That is very cheap at £50.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31It's very charming and it will look beautiful. £50, beautiful brooch.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Come on, £50. £40, then.
0:33:35 > 0:33:3840, thank you. 5.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- It's a start.- One more?
0:33:40 > 0:33:4150, thank you.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45£50. Internet's interested too. 55.
0:33:45 > 0:33:4760, thank you.
0:33:49 > 0:33:5360. 5. One more? Can we tempt you?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- 70.- Yes!- Well done. Splendid, boys! - 75.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Thank you, anyway. 75, I have £75 on the internet.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05Any more? £75, then.
0:34:05 > 0:34:0975 on the internet. Thank you, Net. All done, selling then...
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Well done, good girl, good girl. - Cannot argue with that!
0:34:12 > 0:34:16So, overall, you're plus £40. That's two profits.
0:34:16 > 0:34:22Lot 151 is a lady's late 19th-century Swiss enamel fob watch.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26A beautiful little pocket watch there, who's going to give me 100?
0:34:26 > 0:34:30£100. 100, any interest at 100?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Is that a bit punchy to start?
0:34:32 > 0:34:36OK, come on then, £70. Any interest at 70?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Beautiful little watch here, £70.
0:34:39 > 0:34:45Someone, £70? £70, any interest, Letty? £70?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- Oh, they're killing us! - Come on, Letty.- Come on.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53- Where are we bidding, £50? £50, any more £50?- Sacre bleu!
0:34:53 > 0:34:58£50. Thank you, 5. 60. 5.
0:34:58 > 0:35:0170. 5. 80.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04An auction is all about rhythm, isn't it, Tim?
0:35:04 > 0:35:06No more, you sure? £85. Thank you.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10- She was in a groove. She's just come out of the groove.- £90.
0:35:10 > 0:35:115.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16100. No? Thank you, anyway.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19£100, any more at 100, then?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22I will sell at 100.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24£100, then, all done...
0:35:24 > 0:35:25THEY SIGH
0:35:25 > 0:35:29I'm very sorry, chaps. That's minus £20, but overall, you are plus £20.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31What are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- Are you going to go with the delicious scent bottle?- I think no.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- You think no?- 20 quid is 20 quid. Stick.- It could be a winning score.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42You've got £10 each, we're not going with the bonus boy,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44but we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46And I have interest here.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48I have 55, 60.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50With me at £60.
0:35:50 > 0:35:56- £60, but I'm sure there's more. - Boys?- £60. 5. 70. 5. 80.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- 5. I'm out, £85.- Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02£85, any more, surely? £85.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- Only £85, boys?- £85. It's not much, 85.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11Thank you. 90. 5. 100.
0:36:11 > 0:36:16- No more? £100. Gentleman's bid at £100.- Doubled your money!
0:36:16 > 0:36:20£100, all done? 100...
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- Was that £100?- I think it was 100, wasn't it, Tim?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26That would have been plus 50,
0:36:26 > 0:36:28but £20 could be a winning score.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Don't say a word to the Reds, OK? - Fingers crossed.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33It's only £50!
0:36:33 > 0:36:34No, well done. Well done, Charlie.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37All will be revealed in a moment. Thanks so much, chaps.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45- Well, well, well, teams, wasn't that fun?- It was, it was great fun.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47It was the greatest fun!
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- Have you been chatting about the scores at all?- No.- No idea!
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Absolutely no idea.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54OK, fine, I have to reveal that, of course,
0:36:54 > 0:36:57we have no losers any more but I'm afraid we do have runners-up
0:36:57 > 0:36:59and the runners up today by a fair old chalk are...
0:36:59 > 0:37:00the Reds.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- It started off so beautifully with your mandolin.- We did!
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Your £30 profit on the mandolin.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10And having made a profit on the microphone,
0:37:10 > 0:37:12you then lost a tonne on the corkscrews.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16You went with the bonus buy, that didn't do you any good either.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- Anyway, minus £17. - It was a lot of fun, though.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- It could have been worse! - It could have been a LOT worse!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Not enough to beat these fiendish boys,
0:37:23 > 0:37:28who are going to go home with £20 of folding money. Here it is, £20.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31You started off with £30 on the calculator,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34£10 on the propelling pencil doodah.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36You didn't trust your expert,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39which was your big mistake, if you made a mistake at all.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42You would have had a further £50 if you'd trusted him.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- They don't call them experts for nothing.- Exactly!
0:37:45 > 0:37:49- You go home with your £20. I hope you're happy.- We're ecstatic.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- It's amazing, isn't it?- It is! - What you can do here in Surrey.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Absolutely. I'm sure this will buy us maybe even a round of golf.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Well, I don't know about that!
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain-hunting. Yes? Yes!
