0:00:05 > 0:00:08Now, we are in for an epic show today,
0:00:08 > 0:00:11with absolutely acres to cover.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13So, no time for dawdling.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Let's go bargain hunting! Yeah!
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Carry on, James.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51With only one hour and 2,500 stalls to peruse,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55our teams had certainly better put their skates on.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Let's hope they fly headfirst into a profit.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02- CRASH - Argh!
0:01:02 > 0:01:03You all right down there?
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Let's take a sneaky peek as to what's coming up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09The Reds are feeling frisky. Ooh!
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- What about that woman with the thong?- I beg your pardon!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Whilst the Blues are a bit wonky.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18That one looks as if it's going that way
0:01:18 > 0:01:21and that one looks as if it's going that way.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And I haven't had a drink, but I think you're absolutely right.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26And everyone's a tad excited in the saleroom.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Yay!- Yes!
0:01:28 > 0:01:30- 45! - ALL: Yes!
0:01:30 > 0:01:34But that's all for later. Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40So, for the Reds today, we have great mates Luke and Lewis.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And for the Blues, we have sisters Sandra and Linda. Hello, everyone.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45ALL: Hello!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Good to see you. Now, Lewis, you've been friends with Luke for ages.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Yeah, we met when we were five at Beavers,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56in our local town centre hall. So, we've known each other 16 years now.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Isn't that nice? And you're an eager beaver when it comes to history.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Yes, I'm doing a degree in it. I'm in my last year at the moment.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- So, yeah.- You must have gone to university as a child!
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- And you collect history books.- Yeah, as of about a month ago, it was 232.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- Really?- Yeah. - Have you read them all?
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, up to about, I'd say, about 30.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- And what's the plan after graduation?- I'm going into the army.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Are you?- I'm already in, actually.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25What specialism are you going to have?
0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Royal electrical mechanical engineer, aircraft technician.- Ah.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Maintaining the Jaguars.- Yeah. - If you like, yeah. Good fun.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35And, Luke, you're also a student.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Student at Nottingham Trent, yeah, studying marketing and design.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- And you've done up a house and furnishing it and that.- Yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Recently, we moved into a converted cigar factory
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and we moved in unfurnished,
0:02:48 > 0:02:52so we've actually furnished it all with second-hand furniture that
0:02:52 > 0:02:56we've found online and at car-boot sales and everything like that.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- And that's you and 'er indoors, is it?- Yes.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- My girlfriend, four years strong now.- Oh, good. That's lovely.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06You've never been skip dipping, have you?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08No, we haven't taken it that far.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12My girlfriend has probably higher standards than I do.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Otherwise, you'd be in every skip you could find.- Potentially, yeah.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18So, do you reckon you two are going to be pretty cool
0:03:18 > 0:03:20when it comes to finding some stuff on Bargain Hunt?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Er...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- That's what we're hoping for. - Come on, Lewis!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- We're going to get the golden gavel. - Well, there's ambition with it too.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I think you're going to do famously. Lovely to have you on the show.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Now, you two are not only sisters, you're not only best friends,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37but you also live together. How did that come about?
0:03:37 > 0:03:41That was after a few glasses of wine one weekend
0:03:41 > 0:03:44and my sister phoned me to say that she was feeling very lonely
0:03:44 > 0:03:47and fed up, so I said, "Well, move in with me."
0:03:47 > 0:03:50So, a couple of weeks later, we spoke again on the phone
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and she said, "I've got someone to come and see my house."
0:03:53 > 0:03:56"Why?" I couldn't remember the conversation at all!
0:03:56 > 0:04:00I put my bungalow on the market, sold it and complete surprise.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04So, what do you get up to in your spare time?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Well, I've got a Border collie and they need lots of exercise,
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- so I walk him twice a day. I play bowls.- Do you?- Yes, indoor bowls.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I can't get the hang of the outdoor bowls, no.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- Keep losing it over the brow of the hill?- No, I can't get it far enough.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20I'm too weak.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So, I stick to indoor, which is obviously through the winter more.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So, Linda, what do you do with your spare time?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I love gardening, that's my passion.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Reading, walking. - And what is your job?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- I work in a fracture clinic, in the main hospital in Nottingham.- Do you?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- Yes.- So, plaster of Paris, you know all about that.- Absolutely!
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Is it a busy place, your fracture clinic?- Very, yes.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- About 200 people a day, the fracture clinic can see now.- No!- Yes.- Really?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's a really busy clinic, yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- What's the matter with people round here, then?- Keep falling over!
0:04:52 > 0:04:55You're a dynamic duo, you two. How are you going to get on
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- when it comes to this bargain hunting business?- Oh...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- You're going to be all right? - Yes, I think so.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02- Are you going to spend all your cash?- Try to.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Are you? Good. That's what I like to hear. Anyway, now, the money moment.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Your £300 apiece. OK? There's your £300.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10You're looking forward to this.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13You know the rules, your experts await and off you go!
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Very, very, very good luck! Gosh, what lovely teams we've got today!
0:05:18 > 0:05:22And our experts are rather staggering too.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Hoping to rake in a profit for the Reds, it's Catherine Southon.
0:05:26 > 0:05:32Shopping with style for the Blues, it's Richard Madley.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34What's the long and short of it, teams?
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Surely, this is an unusual combination. Two students and £300.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- That doesn't happen, does it? - Not too often.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Now, what are we looking for today? - Toys.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49- I'd like to look for some wind-up toys. Old wind-up toys.- OK, toys.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Unusual bronze items. Perhaps Art Deco.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- We're looking at things to do with the war and possibly toys.- Oh, OK.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- So, you've got quite a specific idea of what we're buying.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Right, teams, your time starts now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Come on, guys.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Well, look at the weather. It's going to pour down. Let's go inside.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- Oh, shall we stop here? - That's stopped them in their tracks.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Look at those!
0:06:15 > 0:06:21We've got a pair of Carolean-style child's armchairs here.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24They're not very old, but doesn't matter. They're handmade, in oak.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28- £35 each.- Do you think that's good though?- Yeah, that's good. Don't you?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- I love them.- Yeah.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36- Look, we... We've hardly started. But, well...- Yes.- Do you think?- Yes.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Yes.- I love your decisiveness!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- I love those.- I like them. - And for a pair?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- 35 and 35 is 70! - Is that what it is? There you go!
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Is that good to sell at an auction, Richard, at that price?
0:06:51 > 0:06:52I think they're great.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I'm a bit of a sucker for child's furniture,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59but small pieces of furniture will almost sell better than large pieces
0:06:59 > 0:07:02and here we've got a pair of child's open armchairs,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04based on a 17th-century design,
0:07:04 > 0:07:07great for the garden or for the nursery or for the playroom
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- and at £70, I don't think we can go too far wrong.- Fantastic.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12- I think they're brilliant. - What do you think?- Yes.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Shall we go for it? - Absolutely, yeah.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1730 seconds, we've been here, and we've made our first buy.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- It's got to be a record!- Yay!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- Thank you, they're sold.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.- Great.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Excellent. Come on, let's keep going.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Blimey, Blues! You're off to a cracking start.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30And now, you can head indoors.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Seems the Reds have spotted something historical for Lewis.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36What do you think, Lewis? Some of these ones here?
0:07:36 > 0:07:40There's loads of just defence medals and stuff like that, isn't there?
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Do you have any World War I ones? - Yeah.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- There's World War I in there. - That one, there.
0:07:45 > 0:07:51- That is. These are 1914 to 1918. Those.- Right.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53And this would be, probably...
0:07:53 > 0:07:58They don't date these, but that's probably between the wars.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- How much are they? - I've got 95 on them.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05But I'll do a bit of discount, knock a tenner off, they'd be 85.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- So, you would not be able to go to something like £60?- No.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13There's not a lot of profit in medals, to be quite honest.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Unless some just drop in your lap.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17This is what I'm a bit concerned about.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Is there any profit to be had on that?- Yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And it's all about profit in this game. Time to march on, Reds.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27The Blues have spotted something from the East.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- Is that Chinese-y? - I know what you mean.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- It could be Asian, it could be Indian.- Yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:40It's almost like a carved sandalwood. I like the dog on top.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41I like the dog.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- What is it?- We're not quite sure yet. Is it a tea caddy?
0:08:46 > 0:08:51- Is it a box? It's... It's an oak box.- What does that say on there?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I'm relying on you to tell me that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- Captain somebody or other.- Right. Captain somebody or other.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- Ashes went in there? Do you think? - Oh, I've just gone off it now!
0:09:02 > 0:09:07No, he kept his love letters in here... That's what I meant!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09What does it say on the ticket?
0:09:09 > 0:09:14- £160.- HMS Captain... Oh, it's from a ship.- Oh, right. OK.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16"From HMS Captain,
0:09:16 > 0:09:21"which capsized September 1870 with the loss of almost 500 lives."
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Oh, dear.- Oh, no. No.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- No?- No!- Not a happy story, no.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I think we'll put that one back. - I think so.- Dog and all.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- That's a bit sad.- Well, that took the wind out of their sails.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34But the Reds are taking a walk on the wild side.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36That item there looks really interesting.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38This. Oh, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- That's Black Forest, so this is German.- OK.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45And then you take up the head there and you've got the inkwell
0:09:45 > 0:09:49- and the pen as well. Isn't that lovely? What's on that?- 118.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- I think that's really nice.- Yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55It's nice and it's quite unusual and you're not going to see
0:09:55 > 0:09:58something like that again in a hurry.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- It's got a nice patternation to the wood as well.- Yeah.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- It's probably about 1900?- Oh, OK. So it's quite old then.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I mean, Black Forest items are collectible.- Yeah, OK.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14They do do well. Excuse me, may I ask, um... You've got 118 on this.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17What is your absolute bottom bottom?
0:10:17 > 0:10:1885.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I like him. He's got a friendly face, but perhaps at that amount...
0:10:21 > 0:10:24A bit too much, but I like those scales over there though.
0:10:24 > 0:10:25Yeah, they're very interesting.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Postal scales. They're about early 19th century, I would say.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Actually, it's probably later than that.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34It's probably about 1860s, 1870s.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- What's your price on those? - Bargain Hunt.- Oh, looking at 85.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- You like those, do you?- Yeah. - What do you think about them?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46To be brutally honest, if I put them into auction,
0:10:46 > 0:10:48I'd put them at about 50, 60 quid.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- Yeah.- But we'd be interested in buying them as a double.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- As two items.- What if we said 130?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57For the pair.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59It's a gamble for both of us.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It may be a gamble for you, but it could be a loss for me!
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- I can't do that.- OK.- I'm so sorry.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- It's OK.- OK.- Thank you anyway. - Let's move on.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Unlucky, Reds, eh? Time to weigh in with the Blues.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Do I smell something fishy?- Ooh!
0:11:16 > 0:11:17An oyster!
0:11:17 > 0:11:22So, here we've got a set of five oyster plates
0:11:22 > 0:11:23and the larger oyster plate.
0:11:23 > 0:11:30They're what's called Majolica ware, so they're continental pottery,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34and then glazed. Date-wise, probably the early part of this century.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- But they're unusual. - They are unusual.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- And therefore, a little bit different.- Yes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42So, I think they're the sort of things
0:11:42 > 0:11:44that might just have an appeal.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47As long as you think they might make a little bit of a profit.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I think there's a chance there's a profit in those,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53but before we actually do the deal, shall I go
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- and find out how much the owner wants for them?- That's a good idea!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- OK, I'll go and have a word with the stallholder now.- Okey dokey.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01- Really like those. - Yes, how many are there?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- Oh, five. Bet there should be six. - Probably, yeah.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- There's a couple of little cracks round the edge.- Is there?- Yeah.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Ladies...- How did you do?
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Well, I've had an interesting conversation with the stallholder.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18Would you like to guess how much he wants for the set?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Well, we've noticed a couple of damaged...- Have you?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- A couple of little chips.- Oh, well.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28You've been doing your work, haven't you? A couple of little chips.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31So, we would have thought, myself, 50.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- 40.- Oh! Ho-ho!
0:12:35 > 0:12:40£50 is the offer. He was looking this morning for £100 for the set.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I think it's a substantial discount on what he was asking.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Now, it's your call. - It's a decision, isn't it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- What do you think?- I'd like them. - Shall we go for them then?- Yeah.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53We'll get the auctioneer to display them nicely
0:12:53 > 0:12:55on a nice 18th-century oak dresser,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59with the floodlight on it, and his most handsome porter showing them.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Yes.- Shall we do that?- Absolutely.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04You Blues are sailing through your shop.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07That's your second item in the first 16 minutes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- But how are the Reds scrubbing up? - I quite like this.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13That's sort of like...
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Like an early washing machine, for washing your clothes.- Oh, OK.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18What do you think that's made out of?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Copper.- Copper.- Yeah. - It's just cool industrial.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- And it's got a brand on it as well. - What's the price on the top?- £22.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- Oh! You like the whole industrial thing.- Yeah.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And you're buying into that. But what would you actually do...?
0:13:33 > 0:13:37I know what it's supposed to be used for, once upon a time.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39I think it could be quite ornamental,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- next to a fire or something.- In the toilet, with your toilet roll on?
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- That could work.- That's a lot of lavatory paper, Catherine!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48The dealer's a little camera shy,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- but Luke has worked his magic on the price.- 15's the very bottom.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- 15's the bottom.- What do you think? Get one under our belt?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Yeah, I think... Yeah.- Yeah? - Let's strike up a deal!
0:13:58 > 0:14:01That's the way you work, you two. Absolutely brilliant.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- Do we shake hands?- Shake hands? Yeah.- It's a deal.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Well done, boys. Let's hope you can clean up with that one.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Now, it seems Richard is doing a spot of shopping for 'er indoors.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Obviously, I'm biased cos you know that
0:14:14 > 0:14:19I collect those for my wife and have done for all my married life.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23- What's that then?- That's a vesta case.- Oh, yes.- An early Victorian...
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Late Victorian matchbox.- Oh, really?
0:14:25 > 0:14:31- And that looks almost Japanese in design. £45.- Is that dear? Cheap?
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I could sort my wife's birthday present out while I'm here!
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- But it's for you that we're looking at the moment.- Yes.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Exactly.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Get with the programme, Richard. It looks like the Reds are packing up.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45OK, that's one down.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48While we're here, I was thinking about that - that suitcase.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- That's really nice.- It's lovely, isn't it?- Yeah, it is very nice.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Really nice quality. This is all like a canvas
0:14:53 > 0:14:57- and then we've got a really nice-quality leather.- Yeah.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- And so often...- It's really chic.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02They don't shut nicely and that looks like it shuts really nicely.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- Can we move it round? - What do you think about that?
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I think it's really nice. Something I'd use for myself!
0:15:09 > 0:15:13I mean, I don't think a lot of these... You could use that one.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- Yeah.- God, I'll say!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18But wouldn't it look lovely on top of a wardrobe or on display?
0:15:18 > 0:15:19It's in lovely condition.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21It's got a nice little bit of age to it as well.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26I don't think it's too old. It's probably '50s, '60s.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- And like you said, yeah, there's no...- And the handle's lovely.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34- Sometimes you can get really bad dents...- It's worn really nicely.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38It's a little bit stained, but nothing too bad.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- There's a bit of shape... - You have 58 on it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45As we've bought your posser, what could you do on this?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49Our camera shy dealer has agreed on £45 for the suitcase.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53I'd say that's good value. It's listed as what? 58.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So we've got £13 off the listing price.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- I think that's fine.- Yeah. - I like that.- That is it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- You've got yourself... - Shake your hand again?- Deal at 45.
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Here we go.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06That's your second item in the bag, Reds. Well done.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Now, pop outside with me a moment. There's an invitation(!)
0:16:13 > 0:16:17There are some extraordinary things in these fairs.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Look at this thing. What do you make of it?
0:16:20 > 0:16:25Your challenge is to try and determine what this thing's for.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29On the face of it, it looks vaguely medical, doesn't it?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31If you were an agriculturalist,
0:16:31 > 0:16:36it has a sort of milking parlour type feel to it.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Well, if those are you theories, you'd be completely wrong.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43It is true, this bit is a lovely
0:16:43 > 0:16:48soft bit of latex that's connected
0:16:48 > 0:16:51to a turn wooden section and this
0:16:51 > 0:16:53orifice seems to be a mouthpiece.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Except you'd never actually put this in your mouth.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01What would you do with it then? Well, if you were in America
0:17:01 > 0:17:07and you were standing beside one of these things, a duck pond,
0:17:07 > 0:17:11and you were a sporting man, with your shotgun under your arm,
0:17:11 > 0:17:17and you wanted to attract a jolly nice mallard that's landed on
0:17:17 > 0:17:20the far side of the pond to come a little closer
0:17:20 > 0:17:25so that you could bump it off, you'd hold this joker here
0:17:25 > 0:17:30and you'd give it a slight shake, like this.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34QUACKS
0:17:34 > 0:17:35How about that?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37And that, apparently,
0:17:37 > 0:17:43is the nicest way that a duck on one side of the pond can attract
0:17:43 > 0:17:50another duck to come across and enjoy a jolly nice time.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Just shake your hand like this.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57QUACKS
0:17:57 > 0:18:03And over it waddles, up comes your gun and bang-bang, there's supper.
0:18:03 > 0:18:09This is a duck decoy from America.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14And it's called, as you can see here, a Scotch call.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19It was made in Oakfield, New York, and it's all patented up, look.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Number 1401.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26How about that? I mean, it does sound like a duck, don't you think?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30QUACKS
0:18:30 > 0:18:33And for your average American,
0:18:33 > 0:18:38he would have, on a little fitted belt, a number of these mouthpieces,
0:18:38 > 0:18:44in order to use the device to attract other wild fowl,
0:18:44 > 0:18:48to lure them into his sights, things like a goose or a teal.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Anyway, this one, of course, is set up for the duck,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53and very realistic it is too.
0:18:53 > 0:18:59So, what would an American duck call cost you in Newark
0:18:59 > 0:19:01at this time of year?
0:19:01 > 0:19:06This one could be yours for £40, and as they say,
0:19:06 > 0:19:08you'd be quackers not to!
0:19:08 > 0:19:12QUACKS
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Let's flit off and rejoin the teams.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18It's halfway through the shop and it's neck and neck with two apiece.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Our Blue birds have spotted something classy.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- What have we seen here? - Well, we've seen those, Richard.- Yes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28And I've asked the stallholder and they're £30 each.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Right.- Is that dear? - Is that dear? Well...
0:19:31 > 0:19:36- They're hallmarked, apparently.- They are indeed, but they're brand-new.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Ah!- They are reproductions. - Oh, are they?
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- And that's why they're only £30 each.- Yes.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46They're based on a Victorian design, they look very pretty,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48but from here, without even putting my glasses on,
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- I can tell you they're brand-new. - OK.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53But come with me cos I'd like to show you something I've seen
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- that might just appeal to you. - Oh, OK.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58And something that's appealing to our uni lads.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02- What about that woman with a thong? - I beg your pardon!
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Oh, lordy!
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- Oh, God! That!- Ornate.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Mm, cheeky.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Now, I think Richard may have better taste.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20I just thought they're an elegant pair of candlesticks.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- You were looking for something small and silver.- Yes, I was.
0:20:24 > 0:20:25They're Corinthian column...
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Is it my eyesight or is one tilted to one side?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32I think the important thing is, if you take them out,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35you always need to line candlesticks up....
0:20:35 > 0:20:37That one looks as if it's going that way
0:20:37 > 0:20:40and that one looks as if it's going that way.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44And I haven't had a drink, but I think you're absolutely right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48They do seem to lean one way and then the other.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Yes.- Time to move on?- Yes. - I think so.- Thank you very much.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It appears the Reds have turned their attention
0:20:54 > 0:20:56to something far more serious.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57OK, so on the second shelf,
0:20:57 > 0:21:01you've got German ones from the First World War and then you've got
0:21:01 > 0:21:05ones from the British Army from the Second World War.
0:21:05 > 0:21:11- That looks quite good.- 160.- What are they?- That's good the sign on...
0:21:11 > 0:21:13So, what does this mark mean?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Honestly, I couldn't tell you what that particular one means.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I just wouldn't know on this, whether we would make money.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21It's one of those things that people collect, but not necessarily...
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I don't think they'll collect the American...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Do you think we might have one that's closer to home?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27What are we going to do?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30I think it's nice, but I don't think we'll make a profit on it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- No, probably won't make a profit. - Thank you for your time anyway.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Ten minutes to go and you each need one more item.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41The Blues are still being drawn to pairs.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Do you like that little pair of bonbon dishes? The silver...
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- They're nice. Yes.- Like those.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Look, circa 1902.- Yes.- Really nice. - Shall we have a look at those then?
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Yes. They're nice.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55They are pretty. You take one and you take the other.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58And you tell me all about them, if you can read the...
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Pair of silver bonbon trays.- Yeah. - They look quite good to me.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05- Always nice to have things in pairs. - Yeah.- Premium.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- We've bot a pair of chairs, haven't we?- Yes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The hallmark's there,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- but I don't know what they mean. - Birmingham 1902.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14They look in good condition to me.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's just really important on these items that have been pressed,
0:22:17 > 0:22:21make sure they've got no splits, or they're not damaged in any way.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- They seem... I think a little pair of bonbon dishes...- I like them.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- They are pretty, aren't they? - What about the price though, Richard?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- They're £75.- They are, indeed. - Is that dear?
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Well, it's the proper price, but I think if I ask this gentleman,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38or perhaps ask you to ask this gentleman nicely, he might be
0:22:38 > 0:22:41able to give you a bit of discount and we could have a think about it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Yes.- Perhaps you'd like to ask him. - Yes.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Can you do any less than that for us?- Yeah, I can do those for 74.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50THEY LAUGH
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I'll do it for 65. - Oh, would you? Thank you.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- What do you think?- 65.- 65. Would we have a chance?- 65?
0:23:01 > 0:23:0465. Well, I think that's a fair discount
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- and we're looking for something just like that.- Yes, we are.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10And we've got seven minutes and 20 seconds to go.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- I don't think we'll find anything better.- OK.- So, I think we should...
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- We'll go with it.- If you're happy... - Yes.- Thank you, sir.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- Thank you very much.- It's a deal. - Thank you.- Well done, Blues.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You're quite the pair of negotiators.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- We've done it. We've got our third item.- Third item.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- In the bag, we're done.- Yes. - How about a nice cup of tea now?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Fancy that?- Oh, yes, please! - Come on. Let's go.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Now, are the Reds any closer to their final item?
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- I quite like the look of that horn there.- Oh, yeah. That's interesting.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Hunting horn. Is that silver topped? Thank you.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42May we have a look, please?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46- Do you like the weight of that? - It's pretty heavy, yeah.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50There's a nice clear mark at the top. It's a London maker.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53It says Piccadilly on the bottom there, I think.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Collar & Sons.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59I guess this is probably late 19th, early 20th century.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02A few dents to it though. 210, that's quite a lot.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I think we should make a last ditch attempt
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- on those scales we saw earlier. - On those scales.- OK.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Get your skates on, team.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13We are very close to the mark, guys!
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Right, scales. - Just over there.- Over there.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- It was 85, wasn't it?- £85.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Haggle away. Right.
0:24:22 > 0:24:2475.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- 75 is the last ditch thing we can do.- We have two minutes, guys.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Two minutes? I say, call that a deal.- I'd say that's a deal.- Yeah?
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Thank you for coming down.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Well done, Reds. Let's hope there's a weighty profit in it.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43Stop! Your time's up, teams! Oof.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You're so stressed, aren't you?
0:24:45 > 0:24:46I feel like that was like a terrible...
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- I'm the calm and collected one. - I think you need a lie down!
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- I know, we need to get a drink. - Let's go and get a drink.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, eh? Ooh.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01They cleaned up with this copper vacuum washer for £15.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05£45 was packed into this mid-20th century suitcase.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11And they were £75 lighter after buying the late Victorian
0:25:11 > 0:25:13set of postal scales.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14First class.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- OK, you lovely Reds... Well, you went back for the scales.- Yeah.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Will they tip in your favour? - Hopefully.- Hopefully.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- She drove a hard bargain.- Which is your favourite piece, Lewis?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28- I think the suitcase.- Yeah?- Yeah. - Favourite favourite?- I'd say so.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I like the...posser. I think that looks really good nick.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34That thing for doing the washing, I think that's a dolly.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39- I don't know about posser. And you spent how much in total?- £135.- Yeah.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43135, so does that mean I want 165?
0:25:43 > 0:25:46And it goes straight over to Catherine.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So, what do you think you're going to do with that, Catherine?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I think I might follow the industrial theme
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- and buy something along those lines. - Like a nice pile of bricks?- Yes!
0:25:56 > 0:25:57Something just like that!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Something really decorative for the modern home!- Exactly.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Anyway, super-duper. Good luck, chaps. Have a cup of cha.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:26:07 > 0:26:12They spent £70 on the pair of 17th century style children's armchairs.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18They served up £50 on this set of Majolica oyster dishes.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23And the pair of embossed silver bonbon dishes were theirs for £65.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24Sweet!
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Well, that was speedy to start off with, wasn't it?- Absolutely.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- A few seconds.- Did you have a lovely shop?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Had a brilliant shop, thank you. Yes, absolutely enjoyable.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34Linda, which is your favourite piece?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- The chairs, definitely. - The chairs are your favourite.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38And do you agree with that?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- No, the silver bonbon dishes are my favourites.- All right.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42Well, we have a split decision.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Which item is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- The silver bonbon dishes. - The chairs.- Oh, right!
0:26:48 > 0:26:53- Remains split! Perfect. And what did you spend altogether?- £185.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I'd like £115 of leftover lolly. Excellent.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Now, Ricardo, any idea what you're going to spend it on?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, whatever I buy, I've got to be quick cos these girls have
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- set a record, so I'll be out there and back within seconds.- Will you?
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Well, hold yourself in readiness cos we haven't got to the auction yet.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14But we will get there very, very shortly. Thank you very much.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18And today, we're at Hansons auctioneers.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21You can't beat coming to Derbyshire
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and if you come to Derbyshire, you should come to Etwall
0:27:24 > 0:27:27and see Charles Hanson's saleroom. Very nice to be here.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Thanks for coming, Tim. - It's a pleasure.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Now, Luke and Lewis, our Reds, have gone with a mixture.- Yes.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Kicking off with this copper washing device.- Yes.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Makes you feel pleased to own an automatic washing machine really.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43It does, Tim. Sometimes, I wish I'd been born in the old days
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- because they were good days.- Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- But looking at this object, it's clearly hard work.- Yes.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Because this, I've noted, was made between 1910 and 1929, perhaps 1915.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58It really is a quirky object,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00which to a collector of kitchenalia may be of interest.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Exactly, but there aren't so many of those collectors about, are there?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- No.- What's it worth, Charles?
0:28:05 > 0:28:09Well, Tim, I'm no domestic god, but my guide price, between 15 and £20.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- OK, £15 paid. So we're happy with that.- Good.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Next is the suitcase.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- A little something for the weekend. - Yes.- How do you rate it?- I like it.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20I was trying to work out earlier how old it really is
0:28:20 > 0:28:22because although it's well made,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25it's beautifully sewn up all together,
0:28:25 > 0:28:29I can't quite work out if it's 1960s or 1930s.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Does it have the smell of something not authentic?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- It looks too good to be true. - OK, so how much?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- Between 20 and £30.- OK, £45. That's a bit under. But still, there we go.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39What about these scales?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Tim, in this saleroom, we've got some quite nice postal scales,
0:28:42 > 0:28:46so I'm quite pleased this one's fallen into this auction.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47It's in lovely condition.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52I love the plinth, the colour, the polish patina is all there.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55The metalwork is all very uniform, the colour's very good,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- all the measures are there as well. - Yes.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01And it must date to around 1890. So we're going back a few years.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Yes, exactly. So, how much might it bring, then, in your auction?
0:29:04 > 0:29:08- Between 30 and 50.- I see. So it is a bit off the £75 that they paid.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- Oh, dear.- And that being the case,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12it's not going to be a first class result,
0:29:12 > 0:29:15probably, in which case, they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21OK, L&L, Lewis and Luke, two legends.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25You spent £135. You gave Catherine £165.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27What did you spend it on, Catherine?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I bought you...
0:29:29 > 0:29:32It's a kind of mini garden roller,
0:29:32 > 0:29:37but I think that this is actually probably a toy.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Because you've got a name on it. Knights.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Now, Knights were the predecessors of toymakers Chad Valley
0:29:44 > 0:29:48and I just thought it was just great and it was kind of continuing
0:29:48 > 0:29:51our theme of a bit of fun and buying things which were a bit different.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- And being on a roll. - And being on a roll! I love it!
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- I love it! What do you think, chaps? - I think it's nice.- It's different.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Not what you were expecting!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- No, definitely not. - How much did you pay for it?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- 35.- 35.- Not bad.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09But I think it would be worth a bit of a gamble.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11If you need to go with it, you will go with it
0:30:11 > 0:30:13because you really need to go with it, right?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15- 100%.- Yes, exactly.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Anyway, right now though, for the audience at home,
0:30:17 > 0:30:21let's find out whether the auctioneer needs to go with it.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24- Charles, I want you to level with me with this.- Thank you, Tim.- OK?
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- Give me the lowdown.- It could be flat, Tim. It could be flat!
0:30:28 > 0:30:32It's well worn. Clearly, it's a garden roller.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35It's an object which was made in Hereford
0:30:35 > 0:30:38- and it will date to probably as far back as 1920s.- OK, brilliant.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43So, the idea being that Dad is out in the garden, rolling the lawn,
0:30:43 > 0:30:48and his little boy has got one of those and having a go too.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52- It's a neat object.- OK. Well, we like it.- We do.- But what's it worth?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54It might make between 10 and £15.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- OK. Well, Catherine bought it, she rates it, £35.- Right.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Anyway, that's good. Lovely. That's it for the Reds.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Now, for the Blues...
0:31:02 > 0:31:07They've got these bleached oak children's chairs.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09- 17th-century style.- Yeah.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Again, Tim, it's what people want, in terms of colour of oak.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- And I think what is good about them is they're so well made.- Mm.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- And they would have been very expensive.- Yeah.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24If you got a chair for a special four or five-year-old,
0:31:24 > 0:31:26they'd feel really like Little Lord Fauntleroy in those,
0:31:26 > 0:31:27- wouldn't they?- Yes.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32- They are good fun and practical for children.- Yeah. They're quality.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Yeah. What would they be retail? They'd be £100 each, wouldn't they?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38We've put the two in together and what will happen will happen,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40between 40 and £60.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- OK, £70 paid.- OK. - Well, that's not so far off.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Next, we've got a whole suite of French oyster dishes.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Great set because the condition's good.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53There's a minor chip on a couple of the plates,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57but their colour is Majolica, they are rich, they are vibrant,
0:31:57 > 0:32:01they're quite frivolous, and if they were,
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I suppose, true to their form,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05they ought to be 1880 in period, 1890.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- They're not. They're more like 1930.- Yeah, yeah.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Unfortunate number is five. Plus a serving dish.- Yes, indeed.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14You'd like to have six or eight or twelve,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17so we're slightly out of kilter there.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- How much, Charles? - Between 40 and £60.- OK, £50 paid.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26- Good.- Next is the bonbon dishes, which I find pretty tinny actually.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28They are tinny, but they are complete.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33There's no splits in the silver, but they've been well worked.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36You've got the nice quatrefoil motifs,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40embossed Rococo foliage, so they're just pretty and quaint.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43But I still think the hardnosed dealer will only
0:32:43 > 0:32:45pay 10 or £20 for them.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Yeah, I would hope a lady might see them and say,
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- "We'd like our sweets in there." Between 25 and £35.- OK.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Team paid £65.- Oh, dear. - At least, Linda did.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Which is a bit strong, isn't it? - It is strong.- Yeah.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00In which case, they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Sandra, Linda, excited? - Yes, very!- Yes, very!
0:33:04 > 0:33:08Well, what has Richard spent the £115 of leftover lolly on?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- I bought you...a vase.- Oh!- Oh!
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Is it Chinese?- Very good.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18It is indeed a Chinese baluster vase, 20th century in date,
0:33:18 > 0:33:24early or late, who knows? But what took me particularly was the price.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29This vase was priced at 475.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33I was able to buy it for £50.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Good Lord!- I then had to check what the 475 meant.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- Apparently, it's Belgian francs. - THEY LAUGH
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Is it hand-painted?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46That is hand-painted, it's even signed underneath.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49It's quite nice, actually, yes. It is very pretty.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51How much do you reckon we'll sell it for?
0:33:51 > 0:33:52Ah! Well, 475, I hope!
0:33:52 > 0:33:56In Belgium. But here we are, we're at Charlie Hanson's today.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00- I'm hoping you might make a 10 or £20 profit on it.- That's good.- Yes.
0:34:00 > 0:34:01OK. Well, interesting,
0:34:01 > 0:34:06cos the euro came into being probably at least 20 years ago.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10So, 20 years ago, this thing was first put on the market
0:34:10 > 0:34:12with 400 and whatnot francs on it.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15For the last 20 years, it hasn't sold!
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- He was delighted to see me, Tim! - LAUGHTER
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Right now though, for the audience at home,
0:34:21 > 0:34:25let's find out what our auctioneer thinks about Richard's pot.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27Here it comes, Charles. Your favourite.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32- Nice little bit of Chinese. - Baluster form.- Mai Ping.
0:34:32 > 0:34:36It is hand-enamelled, it's in good condition.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38What we need to look at, Tim, is the age of it
0:34:38 > 0:34:40and with a hard stone body,
0:34:40 > 0:34:44often the condition doesn't wear and it's so hard to date.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46You look for dimpling, you look for fritting
0:34:46 > 0:34:50or work in the porcelain, you just can't see any real wear.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, to me, it's not overly old.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55The decoration's appalling, isn't it, really?
0:34:55 > 0:34:59It's crudely done, whereas an 18th century or early 19th century one
0:34:59 > 0:35:02would be finely done. There's no doubt the thing is not old.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05No, I would say it's no more than 50 years old.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08I'd love to say it's worth a high sum,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10but it's worth between 30 and £40.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Cos old Madley paid £50 for it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- It's strong.- Exactly.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19And you'll be taking the sale and that is our secret weapon.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21- Thank you, Charles.- Pleasure, Tim.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I'm bid five. 80. Five.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27I'm out. Going once, going twice.
0:35:27 > 0:35:34- Luke, Lewis, how are you feeling? - Er... Apprehensive.- Are you?- Scared.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Scared? But you're so brave! - Not for this.- You're not.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Catherine's our brave soul.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43- Am I?- Yeah.- Yeah. - Come on, let's be confident.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Anyway, moving on, you've got your vacuum dolly. Here it comes.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52There we are. Circa 1915, being shown for you there. I'm only bid...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Where do we start? £5 here.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58At £5, 8. 10. 12.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- 15, ma'am.- Go on!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Do I see 15 now? At 12. Surely 15.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- 15, 18...- Yes!- Yes!
0:36:05 > 0:36:11- Get in there!- All out. We are, to you, sir, at £25.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12All done.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- Well done, Charles. That's plus £10.- Good old dolly.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- I feel better about that, don't you? - Yes, starting on the right foot.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24189, a tan leather canvas suitcase. It's a jolly nice retro case.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29I'm only bid here £10. There we are. 12 and 15. 18, 20.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Right now, do I see five now?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Come on, here we go.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36It's in great condition. 25, I'm bid. I'm asking 30.
0:36:36 > 0:36:3930, I'm bid. Do I see five now? 35.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41We might make it!
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- I'm asking 40. In the room. Elsewhere.- One more!
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Go!
0:36:45 > 0:36:50It's over. At £35.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51OK, minus £10.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54You had £10, now you just lost it, now you've got nothing.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- OK? This is a bit like life this. - Yes.- OK, now. Postal scales.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03These are delicious. Victorian postal scales, circa 1885.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08And I'm bid here only 25. 30. I'm asking five.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1135. 40. Five. 50.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Five. 50, I'll take one more.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Come on. Go on.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1755, I'm bid. One for the road, sir.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- He dons the cap. 58. 60. - Come on!- Yes!- We're nearly there!
0:37:21 > 0:37:23We are so close!
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- 60, I'm bid. I'll take five now. Fair warning...- No!- One more!
0:37:27 > 0:37:33- No!- I'm selling down here, at £60. Going, going.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- £60 is minus £15.- It's not as bad as I thought it might be.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Exactly. What are you going to do with the roller?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- We're going to roll on.- Are you?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- You want it?- In Catherine we trust.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46We're going to go with the roller. You're only minus £15.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48These boys want to have a punt.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50They want to play the game and that's what we're doing
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- and here it comes.- We can do it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56It's the garden roller. There we are. Bit big for a doll's house.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Oh, look at it! It's so sweet! - So sweet.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Where do we start this? I'm only bid here £5.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Oh, no!
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- 12, 14...- Come on!
0:38:08 > 0:38:1020, 25, 28.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- Yes!- Go on!- Go on! - Up! Up!- You can do it!- Up! Up!
0:38:13 > 0:38:15One for the road! No.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- I can't bear it!- No!- No!
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Bid me 30, sir. One more. 35.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- THEY CHEER - Yes!
0:38:22 > 0:38:2340!
0:38:23 > 0:38:28Are you sure? No, we sell at £35.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29It's over.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32£35, wiped its face. Minus 15.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Now, listen, chaps, you've done incredibly well.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- Don't say a word to the Blues. - No, we won't.- We'll keep that quiet.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- We'll try our best though to keep a straight face.- That's it.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Straight face on.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52- Sandra, Linda, how did the Reds get on? Do you know?- No idea.- No idea.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55OK, fine. Well, you won't want to know!
0:38:55 > 0:38:59Anyway, first up are the two children's armchairs
0:38:59 > 0:39:00and here they come.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03Number 210. They're showing for you there.
0:39:03 > 0:39:08I can start straight in, bids at 40, five. 50, five. 60, five.
0:39:08 > 0:39:09Go, go!
0:39:09 > 0:39:13- They're wonderful chairs! Five, 70, 80...- There we go!- Yes!
0:39:13 > 0:39:18Are you sure, madam? Do I see one more bid? 80, five. 90, five.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Oh, wow!
0:39:19 > 0:39:25And I sell to you, sir, today at £90. Going, going...
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Well done, Richard! Now, here we go then.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Here come the Longchamp terre de fer.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36They are elegant Majolica dishes for oysters.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- And I can start off number 211 with bids at £45.- Gosh!
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Starting at 45.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47And we'll go to the phones. 50. 55. 60.
0:39:47 > 0:39:4865. 70.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- THEY GASP - Richard!
0:39:51 > 0:39:57Out in the room. Live on commission. Thank you. At £65.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- Aw! That was good! - That's £15, it's plus £35.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Now, bonbons.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Fenton, Russel & Co, Birmingham, 1902. Bonbon dishes.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11They're shown for you there and I'm only bid £22.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Aw!
0:40:13 > 0:40:18I'm asking five now. 22 is my commission. Five. Eight. 30.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20No more. Bid 30 online? Or I sell.
0:40:20 > 0:40:2430, I'm out. And we sell at £30.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26All done. Fair warning.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Listen, girls. You had £35 of profit. You've just lost £35.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- You finish up with nothing.- No!
0:40:33 > 0:40:36What are we going to do about the old Chinaman then?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- Yes!- We're going with it.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41You've been through this fantastic helter-skelter.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43You've been up there. You've been down there.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47You've finished up nowhere and you're going with the bonus buy.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49This is exciting. Here it comes.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54316, a very nice early 20th century Chinese porcelain vase.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57It's not overly old. But it's wonderfully painted.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Where do we start? I'm bid £15.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04I'm asking 18 now. The net's going up. £25, I'm bid.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- 30, I've got right now. - Oh, yes! Go on!
0:41:06 > 0:41:1035 online, I'm bid. 40 there. Do I see five online?
0:41:10 > 0:41:1240. All done. Bid five.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Going... At £40...
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- 45!- ALL: Yes!
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- THEY LAUGH - 55. 60. Five.
0:41:21 > 0:41:2370. Five.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24ALL: Yes!
0:41:24 > 0:41:27I sell at £70.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- It's yours.- Yes!
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- £70.- Well done, Richard!
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Plus £20. So, overall, your score is plus £20.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Now, the thing is, say nothing to the Reds.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39And all will be revealed in a moment.
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- So, teams, was this fun or was it fun?- Definitely fun, yeah.- Yes.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50It was fun!
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Particularly successful for one team and not the other
0:41:53 > 0:41:59and the unsuccessful team today just happens to be the Reds.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Now, listen, guys. This is not a massive loss.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Minus £15 would ordinarily be a winning score on this programme,
0:42:05 > 0:42:08- but it ain't good enough today. - Aw!
0:42:08 > 0:42:11What let you down? It was that suitcase let you down a bit, yeah?
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- And the postal scales let you down a bit.- Yeah.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17But they did better than they were predicted to do.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19So there's no shame in any of that.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23And then, the lovely garden roller even did well to wipe its face.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25- Yeah, it started a bit rocky, didn't it?- It did.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27It was what you call undulating.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30And then it got flattened and it never recovered.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Anyway, bad luck, chaps.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Thank you very much for coming and playing with us.
0:42:34 > 0:42:39- But today, the girls are going home with profits of £20.- Thank you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41And you had a real rollercoaster too.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43A couple of profits to start off with,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45then that big loss on the bonbon dishes,
0:42:45 > 0:42:49which was a tragedy, but our friend,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53the baluster Chinese vase, he came back, brought you £20 of profit.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55So, well done for that, Richard.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Saved everybody's bacon. - It did, indeed.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Because to have a wiped face as your final score would have been
0:43:01 > 0:43:04- just unfortunate, wouldn't it?- Yes. - Anyway, well done, Richard.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- You saved the day.- Thank you. - Excellent. Very good fun.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10In fact, it's been so much fun, why don't you join us soon
0:43:10 > 0:43:12for some more bargain hunting, yes? Yeah!
