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

Oh, come on, sir, one more. You'll need one. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
-You don't need to add up to do that! -£50. -There we go. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:57 | |
We have £50, any more at £50? | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
£50, gentleman's bed at £50. £50, then. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:04 | |
All done, selling then at £50... | 0:33:04 | 0:33:08 | |
-Plus £30. -Put it there. -May join in? -Put it there. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:11 | |
-May I join in with you maestros? -Now, stand by. -OK, boys. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:15 | |
Lot 50 is this rather charming | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |

£50. Come on, ladies and gentlemen, £50. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
That is very cheap at £50. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |

Come on, £50. £40, then. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:35 | |

-It's a start. -One more? | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
50, thank you. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:41 | |
£50. Internet's interested too. 55. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
60, thank you. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
60. 5. One more? Can we tempt you? | 0:33:49 | 0:33:53 | |
-70. -Yes! -Well done. Splendid, boys! -75. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:57 | |
Thank you, anyway. 75, I have £75 on the internet. | 0:33:59 | 0:34:03 | |
Any more? £75, then. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
75 on the internet. Thank you, Net. All done, selling then... | 0:34:05 | 0:34:09 | |
-Well done, good girl, good girl. -Cannot argue with that! | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
So, overall, you're plus £40. That's two profits. | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
Lot 151 is a lady's late 19th-century Swiss enamel fob watch. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:22 | |

-Oh, they're killing us! -Come on, Letty. -Come on. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
-Where are we bidding, £50? £50, any more £50? -Sacre bleu! | 0:34:48 | 0:34:53 | |
£50. Thank you, 5. 60. 5. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:58 | |
70. 5. 80. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:01 | |
An auction is all about rhythm, isn't it, Tim? | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
No more, you sure? £85. Thank you. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:06 | |
-She was in a groove. She's just come out of the groove. -£90. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:10 | |
5. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:11 | |
100. No? Thank you, anyway. | 0:35:13 | 0:35:16 | |
£100, any more at 100, then? | 0:35:16 | 0:35:19 | |
I will sell at 100. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
£100, then, all done... | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
THEY SIGH | 0:35:24 | 0:35:25 | |
I'm very sorry, chaps. That's minus £20, but overall, you are plus £20. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:29 | |
What are you going to do about the bonus buy? | 0:35:29 | 0:35:31 | |
-Are you going to go with the delicious scent bottle? -I think no. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:35 | |
-You think no? -20 quid is 20 quid. Stick. -It could be a winning score. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:40 | |
You've got £10 each, we're not going with the bonus boy, | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
but we're going to sell it anyway and here it comes. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
And I have interest here. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
I have 55, 60. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
With me at £60. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
-£60, but I'm sure there's more. -Boys? -£60. 5. 70. 5. 80. | 0:35:50 | 0:35:56 | |
-5. I'm out, £85. -Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
£85, any more, surely? £85. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
-Only £85, boys? -£85. It's not much, 85. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:06 | |
Thank you. 90. 5. 100. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:11 | |
-No more? £100. Gentleman's bid at £100. -Doubled your money! | 0:36:11 | 0:36:16 | |
£100, all done? 100... | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
-Was that £100? -I think it was 100, wasn't it, Tim? | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
That would have been plus 50, | 0:36:24 | 0:36:26 | |
but £20 could be a winning score. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:28 | |
-Don't say a word to the Reds, OK? -Fingers crossed. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:30 | |
It's only £50! | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
No, well done. Well done, Charlie. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:34 | |
All will be revealed in a moment. Thanks so much, chaps. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:37 | |
-Well, well, well, teams, wasn't that fun? -It was, it was great fun. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:45 | |
It was the greatest fun! | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
-Have you been chatting about the scores at all? -No. -No idea! | 0:36:47 | 0:36:50 | |
Absolutely no idea. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:52 | |
OK, fine, I have to reveal that, of course, | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
we have no losers any more but I'm afraid we do have runners-up | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
and the runners up today by a fair old chalk are... | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
the Reds. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:00 | |
-It started off so beautifully with your mandolin. -We did! | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
Your £30 profit on the mandolin. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
And having made a profit on the microphone, | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
you then lost a tonne on the corkscrews. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
You went with the bonus buy, that didn't do you any good either. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
-Anyway, minus £17. -It was a lot of fun, though. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
-It could have been worse! -It could have been a LOT worse! | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
Not enough to beat these fiendish boys, | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
who are going to go home with £20 of folding money. Here it is, £20. | 0:37:23 | 0:37:28 | |
You started off with £30 on the calculator, | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
£10 on the propelling pencil doodah. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
You didn't trust your expert, | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
which was your big mistake, if you made a mistake at all. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
You would have had a further £50 if you'd trusted him. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
-They don't call them experts for nothing. -Exactly! | 0:37:42 | 0:37:45 | |
-You go home with your £20. I hope you're happy. -We're ecstatic. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:49 | |
-It's amazing, isn't it? -It is! -What you can do here in Surrey. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
Absolutely. I'm sure this will buy us maybe even a round of golf. | 0:37:52 | 0:37:56 | |
Well, I don't know about that! | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
Anyway, join us soon for some more bargain-hunting. Yes? Yes! | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 |
