0:00:05 > 0:00:10Today we're back in spectacular Northern Ireland
0:00:10 > 0:00:12on the banks of Lough Neagh
0:00:12 > 0:00:16which is the largest freshwater lake anywhere in the British Isles.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20It apparently measures 300 square kilometres
0:00:20 > 0:00:23and contains 800 billion gallons of water,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25so they're not short round here.
0:00:25 > 0:00:31But will our teams' profits today be overflowing? Let's find out.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's go Bargain Hunting, yeah!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58We're at Ballinderry Antiques
0:00:58 > 0:01:03where there are three huge floors stuffed full
0:01:03 > 0:01:07which, put simply, means there are thousands of objects
0:01:07 > 0:01:09for our teams to examine.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Let's take a sneaky peek, shall we?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18- On today's show, the Reds are losing their heads.- Whooo...
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Oh, Jonathan, that is horrendous.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- The Blues are learning fast. - What do you think?
0:01:22 > 0:01:28Well, possibly, er...Georgian, maybe around 18th century?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Oh, gosh. Patience, she is amazing!
0:01:33 > 0:01:37And it's getting cosy at the auction.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42So, time to meet today's teams.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45For the Reds, we have cousins Ann and Mary
0:01:45 > 0:01:48and for the Blues, we have good friends Patience and Helen.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Now, Ann, you're keen on your cooking. Tell us about it.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58I particularly like using old antique items.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I've got an old jam pan, copper pan, that belonged to my grandmother.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Oh, lovely.- Yes.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- And you also collect what they call kitchenalia, don't you?- Yes.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I was reading in a newspaper
0:02:10 > 0:02:12that Clarissa Dickson Wright's were having an auction,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16so I was always after a marmalade shredder,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18so I contacted the auction house
0:02:18 > 0:02:22and on the day of the auction, my bid was accepted, so I've got...
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Clarissa's...- ..Clarissa's...
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- ..marmalade shredder. - ..marmalade shredder, yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- And does it do a good shred? - It does, yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I tried it in February and I made Seville orange marmalade
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and it worked beautiful.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39So, while your cousin's off trawling for kitchenalia,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41you have an eye for a bit of jewellery, don't you, Mary?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43That's right, Tim, yes.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47I love shopping and particularly bargain shopping as well.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Oh, I've picked up many nice little bits of jewellery.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Well, tell us about them.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Well, on one occasion, I got a beautiful Tiffany bracelet
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- and I paid £20 for it. - Did it come in its turquoise bag?
0:03:00 > 0:03:06Yes, it did. And when I got home, I looked the bracelet up online
0:03:06 > 0:03:10and I saw the bracelet was worth over £200.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14- Was it?- Have you still got it? - I gave it to my niece.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Ah, how very generous is that? - Yes, I know.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20But just shows, though, doesn't it, that these are out there to be found.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- Uh-huh.- Have you got any idea what you might buy today, Mary?
0:03:24 > 0:03:27Yes, well, again, I'd be looking at jewellery.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Something silver I would be interested in it as well,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- and something art deco. - Really?- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And are you going to spend all your money between you?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, we'll have a strategy
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and Ann will keep me right on on our strategy,
0:03:39 > 0:03:44but we will hopefully make a profit and we're wanting to get bargains.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47This is such a happy and lovely cousinly couple.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Yes.- Anyway, we're looking forward to it very much.- OK.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Good fun. Great. Now, Blues.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57Helen, you're retired, but what did you do in your working years?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Secretarial work, PA, admin, loved it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- But you're not putting your feet up, are you?- No, no, no.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Because, actually, you're a bit of a TV star in these parts.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12- Well, I'm used to being the one asking the questions.- Oh, right.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- A bit different today. - So, what do you do in TV?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Er, we do a programme called Our Parlour,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24a programme for older people by older people.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26That's me, the older people!
0:04:26 > 0:04:32And we address issues to do with older people and fun things as well.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36It's not all doom and gloom because older people like to laugh as well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Great. Now, Patience, you've even been on your friend Helen's show.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42I have, indeed. Because of my background,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46she asked me would I like to be interviewed by her.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48What were you being interviewed about?
0:04:48 > 0:04:53I went to a modelling agency, a school, when I was about 14.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58A photograph was taken and it was seen by somebody in Vogue.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02- I went from nothing right to the very top when I was 14.- Oh, really?
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And it really was a wonderful experience.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07So, between the two of you,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10what I want to know now is how you're going to get on on Bargain Hunt.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13We're going to go sort of cheap and cheerful
0:05:13 > 0:05:18and we're going to leave most of the money to the expert.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Are you? That's your plan? - Yes, that's the plan.- OK.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25Anyway, now the money moment. Your £300 apiece. Here we go, girls.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- £300.- Thank you.- You know the rules.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Your experts await and off you go and very, very good luck.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34What a delicious mixture.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Now, we need two experts to head up our teams today.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Who is it going to be?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Hoping to juggle a profit for the Reds, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Gosh, he's good.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48And rocking it for the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53So, Mary, what would you like to buy this morning?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I would like to buy silver jewellery and old watches.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Helen, what are we going to buy? - Buy small, low, and sell high.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Well, that's easier said than done. OK, Patience?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- I agree totally.- Oh, my gosh.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- And how about you, Ann? - I'm interested in Clarice Cliff
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- and the art deco period, anything from the 1920s.- Fabulous!
0:06:12 > 0:06:13Well, it's really stocked full
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- and I'm sure we're going to find some stuff.- Oh, lovely!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Teams, your time starts now. WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- 60 minutes, you two...- Right.- OK.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24..to buy the three cheapest objects in here.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26It would take 60 minutes to walk around,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- nevermind pick out something. - I'm sure we'll miss a lot, you know.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35- Get looking. Plenty to see.- My, this is like an Aladdin's cave, isn't it?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- It is.- There's a lot to look at and the Reds are jumping straight in.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- It's lovely.- Isn't that lovely? - Yes, it's lovely.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- It's really very nice because it's art deco.- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48And it looks to be hand-painted. It's beautiful.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Art deco, it's more than a hint, actually.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- The shape is very art deco.- Yes.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It says here, "Circa 1930" and that gives us the idea.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- It will have a fairly limited appeal.- Yes.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02The deco market for pottery has...
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Its height was the '90s, late '90s.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Clarice Cliff has sort of settled
0:07:07 > 0:07:10and so that sort of market associated with it
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- is now not necessarily as strong as it used to be.- Yes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- But I think that would be a good safe start.- Yes.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Great, that's great.- Good.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Do you want to leave it there or move on?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21We'll move on and come back. We know it's there.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25That's right, Reds. Take your time. Let's find those Blues, shall we?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27This is like a maze. I think we've come out the wrong way.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30A-ha, they're looking for a bit of bling.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33What kind of thing, Helen, would you love to buy?
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- I think silver seems to do quite well.- Very well.- OK.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- And jewellery, silver jewellery. - Yeah, OK, very good.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- You must be good with jewellery. - Well, I am good with jewellery.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46I've noticed, I've noticed. Let me just have a look at those hands.
0:07:46 > 0:07:52- Oh, Lordy.- My gosh, Patience, look at that collection. It's fantastic.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- And the Bargain Hunt colours on this one.- Oh, gosh.- Not to be left out.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Well, you're our good luck charm. - That's it, yeah.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Let's see how lucky you are. Come on.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Lots of browsing so far, but no buying yet.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- Little silver vase that you can put a few roses in.- OK.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13That sort of thing. Something delicate and dainty.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You can re-enact your Tarzan fight scenes in the garden
0:08:15 > 0:08:17in the pond, can't you?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Hold on, it looks like the Blues may have spotted something.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24That little decanter there is such a little sweetie
0:08:24 > 0:08:25- because it's very early.- Right.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28If you look at it, it's completely imperfect,
0:08:28 > 0:08:32but its imperfections make it just perfect.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35There'll be little bubbles in the glass, you can see.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39The little ring turns on the neck there are absolutely misshapen.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41That's a handblown piece.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44So, if you look at the base there, look at the rough bottom. Feel that.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Actually sharp.- Yes, indeed.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49You could almost cut your finger on that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50That's the pontil mark,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53so that's where the rod has been snapped off the molten glass
0:08:53 > 0:08:56and they've simply just shaped it a little bit
0:08:56 > 0:09:00to give it some decoration. This was made 200 and something years ago.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- This is George III.- Really? - No doubt about it.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Let's date it at 1800, thereabouts. - My!- My goodness.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10So, this is before the time of the Battle of Waterloo,
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- the Battle of Trafalgar. Priced at £48.- We'll take it.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Do a bit of negotiating first. - Oh, absolutely.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21- OK, shall we try a bit of negotiating?- Yes.- Definitely.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Get those negotiating hats on, Blues.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Elizabeth from the shop is ready and waiting for you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31What's the best you could do that for, please?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Er, £40.- Well, I think £40 is very generous.- Thank you.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- No dealing needed there.- All right. Thank you very much.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Well, we don't carry the goods, we just spend the money. Come on.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Let's go and spend some more money. - That was speedy work.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47But what happened to the negotiating?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Never mind, Blues, with 15 minutes down, it's 1-0 to you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Keep hunting, teams.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- You wouldn't make your jam in this, would you?- I would, actually.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59OK, if we want to go cheapie,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- actually, we need to avoid the cupboards, don't we?- Right, OK.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05If we want to stick to your plan, your game plan.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10Now, can JP kick off the Reds' shopping with some pearls of wisdom?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Look at this here. - Aren't they lovely?
0:10:12 > 0:10:16- Oh, aren't they lovely?- Let's have a look. They're simulated pearls.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19They're not natural pearls. Natural pearls would be thousands of pounds.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Cultured pearls are...the same, they're from a natural process,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26so these are pearls that aren't. And I'll show you why.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28This is a test that everyone does.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30You rub them on your teeth, OK.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33You rub them on your teeth and what happens,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37because it's calcium and your teeth are calcium,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40if you rub them together, they scrape and...
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- Honestly, you know when you run your fingers down a blackboard?- Uh-huh.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46It's that feeling. It's like, ay-ay-ay.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- It's a nice decorative piece of jewellery.- Exactly.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The easiest way of determining
0:10:51 > 0:10:53whether they're natural or not is to look at the label
0:10:53 > 0:10:56and although it says pearls, they know full well they're not
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- because they've got a price tag of £22 on it.- Yes.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03So, what you've got is a really good piece of costume,
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- if you like, pearls.- Could I look at these ones here?- We can do.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Are you dismissing those completely? - No, I'm not.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Right, so we'll put those... We'll have a think.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16We're on the necklace route at the minute.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19Whilst the Reds look deeper for hidden treasure,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22the Blues have spied another piece of glass, this time at £12.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- That's quite pretty.- Do you want to come and have a look, Helen?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Do you like that, Helen?- That's lovely. I think it's a good buy.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I would pay £12 for that.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Well, you'd pay an awful lot more in a shop somewhere else
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- when it was new.- I would. - Yes, I would.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Now, talking about when it was new, how old is it?- Oh, I don't know.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- I have no idea, David. - Well, I would say...
0:11:45 > 0:11:50- I don't think it's that old.- No. - Um...- 1950s, maybe?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- 80 years old?- I think it's much newer than that.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Newer than that.- Newer than that.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58But I've got to tell you, age has nothing to do with value these days.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- It's pretty.- Just because something is old doesn't mean it's valuable.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Well, it's very bonny.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05The light catches it well, but there's no age to it
0:12:05 > 0:12:09and there's no great quality to it either, there really isn't.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12For a reasonable price like that, I would buy it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15OK, it's no great quality, no great age,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- but it falls into the cheapie category.- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- And, Helen, you like the cheapie category.- I do.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Head off, Helen, your turn this time.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28OK, Helen, do your thing. Mark from the shop is on hand for haggling.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- A-ha.- Hi, Mark.- That's a lovely little glass you've got there.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35- What can you do for us, please? - Let's see what we've got on it. £12.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Not an expensive piece but nice all the same. You can have that for £8.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Guys, what do you think? - And that's the lowest you can go?
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Unfortunately, it would be. - Right, you've been very good.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47We'll not quibble. Thank you.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Are you happy? - Happy with that.- Definitely.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- Couldn't be much cheaper, could it? - No.- It's lovely.- Brilliant.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- If it makes £10, we're covered. - We're in profit.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- We'll make £1 each.- Exactly! Mark, if you can hold onto that, please,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01because we need to go and spend some more money. Well done, you two.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05And you have done that in just around 25 minutes.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Two purchases.- That's quite good. - Very good.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11You're on a roll, Blues. A real bargain buy there at £8.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13So, how's it going, David?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17Well, it looks like we're on a glass hunt, doesn't it?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Everything we look at seems to be glass,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22so I'm determined to try and get something a little different.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Now, time is ticking on. Have those Reds made a decision on the pearls?
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- So, you've got...two necklaces.- Yes.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Ann, which would you prefer?
0:13:34 > 0:13:39- I would prefer the real pearls any day. I would buy these any day.- OK.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Yeah.- And, Mary?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I actually like these cos they're cheap and cheerful, so...
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- Not a reflection on YOU at all. - Of course not, JP.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Not at all, Jonathan, but they do the job.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56I think they're nice and it's only cos the price, you know.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I would be bargaining them down cheaper
0:13:58 > 0:14:01to what's on this as well, so I would go with these, Ann.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- The person who wanted to buy jewellery was Mary.- Yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10- So, does she get to choose? - Yes, I'll let Mary choose.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- I think we'll go with this.- Perfect.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16With a ticket price of £22, let's see your bargaining skills, Mary.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Let's see what we can do on the price of these, eh?
0:14:19 > 0:14:20- How are you?- Good, thank you.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- What would the best price on these be?- Let's have a look.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- About £10?- £15.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30- £15?- Mmm.- What about £10?- No.- No?
0:14:32 > 0:14:34£15 is not a lot of money, not a lot of money.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40- That's OK. We'll go with it.- OK. - Well done, Reds, you're away.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Now, as the teams continue their shopping,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I'm popping upstairs for a rummage in the furniture department.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Cor, there's one thing to be said about this antiques centre -
0:14:56 > 0:14:59it is absolutely crammed with furniture.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04And do you know something? People who say that there's no money
0:15:04 > 0:15:07in brown furniture are absolutely wrong.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14This is an example of some ethnographic tribal carving.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17We've got a circular seat that's dished
0:15:17 > 0:15:22and if you look carefully, it's been cut out of a solid lump of wood
0:15:22 > 0:15:29and the solid lump of wood has all sorts of chisely-type marks,
0:15:29 > 0:15:34slight roughness to the actual carving-out process.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36But it's smooth.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41They're chunky because they're carved hardwood and if I turn it underneath,
0:15:41 > 0:15:45the beauty of the carving can be fully appreciated.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50Cos the underside of that curved seat has been incised
0:15:50 > 0:15:56with a series of lines that go to make up a geometric pattern.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58And then the legs -
0:15:58 > 0:16:01cos this thing's been made out of a single piece of wood -
0:16:01 > 0:16:03have been carved.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07You get four little legs which are bifurcated like this
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and they, too, are covered in geometric carving.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16And if you haven't got any metal tools, how do you do it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Well, you do it with sharp pieces of stone, coral and shell
0:16:20 > 0:16:24and it would take you a heck of a long time.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Where do they come from?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Well, they definitely come from the Pacific
0:16:29 > 0:16:33and I suspect these things were made in the Austral Islands,
0:16:33 > 0:16:39which is French Polynesia, a few hundred miles to the south of Tahiti.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44One thing's for certain though. If you get your opportunity
0:16:44 > 0:16:48of knocking around a place that's full of brown furniture,
0:16:48 > 0:16:53keep your eye open for a couple of babies like these,
0:16:53 > 0:16:59because these two stools would cost you, in this place today, £100.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03But in an ethnographic sale, properly marketed,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07they would bring at least £600-£800.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11So, brown furniture no good?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14No good? Don't tell ME that.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Back to the shopping and we've 20 minutes left.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21It's 2-1 to the Blues and glass is catching their eye yet again.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Cheap enough. Helen, what do YOU think about those?
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I quite like them. I was looking at them earlier on.
0:17:27 > 0:17:32OK, Helen, by now I think you should actually be a glass expert.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- You're the auctioneer, they come in. - Yes.- What's the estimate?
0:17:35 > 0:17:41I would say, if I were bidding for them, I would say £20?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Yeah, I think £20-£30 is a sensible auction.- Yes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- So, if you can get them anywhere... - Around that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51..around that, you stand a chance. So, what do you want to do?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- No, we'll look for something silver. - Oh!
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, move on, please, with your quest for silver.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Time's marching on and as the Reds still only have one item,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04- they're starting to panic.- That's what we should have looked at.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Is there a sale thing? Here's a part...
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Here is where things are reduced. - You've got these little things here.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- Yes.- It's glass, I'm hoping silver mounted.- Yes.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15- And you've got green enamel on top. - Yes.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- It actually is my favourite colour. - Yes.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20And we ARE in Ireland, the Emerald Isle, I suppose, so...
0:18:20 > 0:18:23- What do you think of something like that?- I love those.- Do you?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- I really love those. Can we see them?- Yeah, course we can.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I'll give you one and I'll give... There we are.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31- They have a practical use. - Yes.- They...
0:18:31 > 0:18:36- You put them on your table and you show them off, don't you?- Yeah.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40So, what you've got is a pretty little pair of moulded glasses,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43simply made. They're just blown glass into a little mould,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46quite simply stamped-out silver tops.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50I saw those and I thought, "Small, decorative, functional,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- "colourful..."- Yes.- Mmm-hmm.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55But then you've got silver, so I thought they tick the boxes for you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Absolutely, and a little bit sort of deco to it.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Not so sure, eh, JP?- Maybe.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Will we try and bargain? - Do you want to?
0:19:05 > 0:19:08- Yes, absolutely.- That could be a second purchase, perhaps.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Yeah.- Yeah.- Come on.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Will David from the shop be as thrilled as the girls?
0:19:14 > 0:19:19- What is your best possible price on these?- £50.- No!- Oh, blimey!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- No.- I still think that's a bit expensive.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- If we want to make a profit, Ann. - We'd go £40.- £40.- Great.- Great.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- Shake the man's hand. Deal is done.- Thank you.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35That's two items in the bag now and we have less time,
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- but we've only got the one item to get now.- Yes.- Panic over, perhaps?
0:19:39 > 0:19:43- Panic over, JP.- All right, thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Well done, Reds. But you don't have much time left.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Now, are those Blues still all glassy-eyed??
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- What about that?- Oh, my gosh! What is it? Oh, it's glass!
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Yes.- Surprise, surprise!
0:19:57 > 0:20:00I know, silver twice we were going for, but I do think that's lovely.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Oh, my goodness me. - Oh, that's lovely!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Now, isn't that the size of wine glass you can only dream about?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- Yeah.- Would you actually use that? Would you drink from it?
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Well, do you know, I might! But I'm very funny.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I like to have my own glasses for different wines.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21I'm very fond of wine. But I do think that is lovely.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- I think it's a talking piece. - Yeah.- I think it's modern.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Um, I can't see anybody not taking a liking to that.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I'm sort of inclined to agree. Helen, I'm going to test you here.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39What model or period of wine glass would you say that is based on?
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- I have no idea.- No, you do.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- HE WHISPERS:- 18th century Georgian. - What's that, David?
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Well, possibly, er...Georgian,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- maybe, around 18th century? - Oh, gosh!
0:20:55 > 0:21:01- Patience, she is amazing! - I'm learning very fast, yes.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07Honestly, well done! That is modelled on a Georgian air twist.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Can you see the twist inside the stem?
0:21:09 > 0:21:15They're pulled out, created purely by air, 18th century wine glass.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Now then I want you to test how this thing rings,
0:21:19 > 0:21:21cos you know, being an expert in glass.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24It makes a big difference and it's a good indicator
0:21:24 > 0:21:27as to whether it's got any damage or anything. You just...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- Well, you know what you're doing. - GLASS RINGS
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Oh, that's not bad!- Nice little ring.- It's still ringing.- Yes.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Nice ring.- It's good glass.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38OK, priced at £38 and we've got ten minutes left.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43I think, from what we've seen, I know that you wanted silver, Helen.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- That's quite all right. - Are you happy with that?- Yes, yes.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Being a glass expert. - It's a new business for you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54- Yes.- No, I really do like it. - OK, hold it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Whilst David goes off to find a price, the Reds hotfoot it upstairs
0:21:59 > 0:22:03where they quickly spot a piano stool at £156.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Here we have an art deco stool. What draws you to it?
0:22:06 > 0:22:11I suppose I think I like the style of the furniture.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17- I like the embroidery. I think it possibly opens.- Yes, it does.- Yes.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22So, I could see that as something that I would like myself.
0:22:22 > 0:22:27- But would that sell?- Small pieces of furniture sell.- Yeah.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Small pieces that are unique and collectable, not big pieces.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- She's sounding like an expert. - I think on that basis...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You like the art deco style and, actually, it is very strong.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41You've got these metal mounts which add the contrast
0:22:41 > 0:22:43and it's very geometric which is...
0:22:43 > 0:22:49We're talking late deco again. This is circa 1930 and the deco style...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, the name doesn't come in till 1925.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54There are elements and lots of design before that
0:22:54 > 0:22:57which you can see, so this is kind of late into the period.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Um, we don't have much time.- Yes.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03That's the key, that is one of the main points.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06On hand to negotiate, is shop owner Donald.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11- Um, Donald, what would be your very best on this?- Let me have a look.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14What I feel helps with this is if you can get his arm
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- and put him in a half-nelson.- Yes.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Um...very best on that would £115.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Could you do it for £100?- No. £110, that would be...
0:23:26 > 0:23:32- How much do you like it?- I really like it.- Whose turn is it to decide?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- Mine, I think. - Yours because we've had one each.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40- It is nice and I like it. - We have a few more minutes left.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Cover a bit more ground, if you want to,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46and then you have to make a decision.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Best be quick about it, Reds. David's back with a price for the Blues.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- Bottom line, no more negotiating, £28.- What do you think?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I think that's not bad because I mean, we're talking...
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- It's £38 price, they're dropping £10.- We're going with it?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Definitely.- Fantastic! Well done. And with five minutes to spare.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12- Wow, can't be bad for that.- I was getting worried.- We're marvellous.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- We are definitely the genius where glass is concerned.- Marvellous.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20- The glass experts exit that direction. Go for it.- Thank you.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Congratulations, Blues, you're done.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Meanwhile, the Reds are using every last minute
0:24:26 > 0:24:27to see what they can find.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- Whoooo... - Oh, Jonathan, that is horrendous!
0:24:32 > 0:24:33And they're now thinking back
0:24:33 > 0:24:36to something they saw at the start of the hour.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- Ladies, it's decision time. - Right.- Drum roll, please.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44We have, here, the piece you were interested in earlier,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47that chap here. We have the stool.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51We have only, probably, three and a half minutes to go, all right?
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- Which means that we not only have to decide, we have to do the deal.- Yes.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Is it eeny, meeny, miny, moe? Or do you have a favourite?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I actually probably think I would go with that as opposed to...
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Yeah, I think... - Right, I'm putting it down.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- It's going away.- I think we go with this.- You're going with that?
0:25:08 > 0:25:13So, the stool it is, and with Donald sticking to his price,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- the deal is done at £110. - We'll shake on it.- Hurrah!- Hurrah!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19BELL RINGS Time's up.
0:25:19 > 0:25:24That's really well done, ladies. There's three in the bag.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31First up, the cousins shelled out £15 for the simulated dress pearls.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38They relished the German condiment set at £40.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45And the piano stool brought music to their ears at £110.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- You're finished. Well done. - That's us finished, yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- So, how much did you spend in total? - We spent £165.- Did you?- Yes.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59That's a mature amount of money, which is lovely. £165.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- I would like £135 of leftover lolly, please.- Uh-huh.- Thank you.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now, tell me, which is your favourite piece, Ann?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11My favourite piece would be the little salt and pepper set.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Really sweet. That's your favourite favourite?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Yes.- Mary, which is your favourite?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17My favourite is the pearls. I like them.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I know they're not real pearls, but they're lovely.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Exactly and they give you that thrill.- Yes.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25And are your pearls going to bring the biggest profit, Mary?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I don't know if they'll bring the biggest profit
0:26:27 > 0:26:29but I think they'll bring a profit.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Well, JP, you take this money. Well done, my friend.
0:26:31 > 0:26:35- Thank you very much.- You've been around this enormous establishment.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38Have you got inspiration as to what you're going to buy
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- in the way of the bonus buy? - I've... There's so much to see.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43I've seen lots of things. I have a few ideas.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- I'm not going to show my hand just yet.- Right.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- I know kind of what they like, so I'm going to do my best.- Yes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Fine. Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Hoping to pour out a profit,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58they bought this early 19th-century glass decanter for £40.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02They then went cheap and cheerful
0:27:02 > 0:27:05for this oval cut-glass trinket box for £8.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10And it's cheers all round to the tall wine glass
0:27:10 > 0:27:13with an air twist stem for £28.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Now, Hels, Patience...- Yes.- How was it for you?- Wonderful.- Was it?
0:27:19 > 0:27:23- Absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed every second of it.- Good.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- Same with you, Hels? - Yes, I've enjoyed it immensely.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28It's something to do with the charisma of your expert.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- No, it's the interesting people we've met.- What do you mean no?!
0:27:31 > 0:27:35- LAUGHTER Poor DH.- Thank you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38So, which is your favourite piece, Patience?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I think one of the things I'd sort of thought about was a decanter
0:27:40 > 0:27:44and when we saw that they were really quite expensive,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46we sort of moved on.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49And then I saw this other one and with David's great help,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52learned a lot of things about decanters.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- So your decanter is your favourite? - Absolutely.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Hels, which is your favourite object?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59I think the last item that we bought.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02It's an ornament but it's a very useful ornament.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06- I think it'll be lovely. - It's drinking yet again, Tim.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It's all drinking related.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11- It's not so much an ornament then, more a glass.- Yeah, a big one!
0:28:11 > 0:28:13OK, fine. Great.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15And which of these is going to bring the biggest profit, Helen?
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I would say the first one, the decanter,
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- I think will make us a bit of money. - And you agree with that?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- I would totally agree with that. - Lovely.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25And you spent a paltry amount, a little birdie told me.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Well, we kind of started off
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- by saying we were going to be cheap and cheerful.- Yes.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32We're very cheerful and we were very cheap as well.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37OK, well, two cheap girls, right. And how much did you spend in total?
0:28:37 > 0:28:43- We spent £76.- Did you?- We did.- I'd like £224 of leftover lolly, please.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- You see, I'd like the expert to have...- Would you?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I don't get to keep it, you know. I've got to buy something with it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I understand that. You've taught us so much today
0:28:52 > 0:28:54that I'm sure you will look after us.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57OK, David, on that happy note, you can go away.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59We're going to head off to the auction.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09How lovely. We've motored the 40 minutes from Ballinderry
0:29:09 > 0:29:14into the middle of Belfast to Ross's saleroom to be with Daniel Clarke.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- Daniel, good morning to you. - Good morning.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20Some paste-set sub-pearl jewellery.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Yes, I mean, just costume pearls,
0:29:23 > 0:29:27five strings, metal clasp.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30I don't think an awful lot of money. £5, £10, maybe.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- There's not an awful lot to say about them.- £15 was paid.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Frankly, it makes what it makes
0:29:36 > 0:29:38and I think they're going to be jolly lucky
0:29:38 > 0:29:41if they got some girl who wants to spend £10 or £15 on it
0:29:41 > 0:29:45cos it's just out of fashion, really, isn't it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Pearls are not terribly fashionable any longer.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50And as these aren't really pearls,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53cos they're sub-cultured something or other composition,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56not to worry, really. But thank you.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Now, rather more interesting, though, are these cut-glass condiments...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04..basically because the enamel looks to be in quite good nick.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07They are silver and they have a sort of charm, don't they?
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Do you know, I do not think this is enamel.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- I think this is plastic...- Do you?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15..which is made to look like enamel.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17Mmm, you're absolutely right.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22If you put it under your tooth, it feels warm and it should feel cold.
0:30:22 > 0:30:28I think they're lovely, lovely size and, in fact, very useable.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- So, how much?- I think £30-£40.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I like the green. It's very eye-catching.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39Me too. £40 paid by JP and Ann
0:30:39 > 0:30:42and let's hope they get out of trouble with them.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46So, their last item is the oak and chromium-mounted piano stool
0:30:46 > 0:30:49which is very much of its time, isn't it?
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Very deco in style.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55The chromium bands are very typical of the period.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- £50, £60 maybe.- Really?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- I think that sort of money. - Well, they paid £110.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07But there we are. That could be and probably will be their comeuppance
0:31:07 > 0:31:09and, if that's the case, they'll need the bonus buy,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:16You had £135, JP. What did you spend it on?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Do you know what it is?
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Er...
0:31:21 > 0:31:25- It's...an ink... - It's an ink stand.- An ink stand.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Absolutely. I settled upon this because what I thought was...
0:31:29 > 0:31:33I saw this lovely '30s shape, this oval outline
0:31:33 > 0:31:38- and this almost sort of capstan-type little wells.- Can ask...- Yes.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43- ..what you paid for it? - I paid £50.- £50, right.
0:31:43 > 0:31:44How much do you think it will make?
0:31:44 > 0:31:47What I love about Ann - straight for the jugular!
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I'd like to think that there's profit in it.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52I don't think we're going to run away, personally, but I think...
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- I don't know, £50-£70. - You might just trot though.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I think it should trot a small profit.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59You don't pick now, you pick later
0:31:59 > 0:32:00after the sale of your first three items,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02but for the audience at home,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about JP's encrier. Ooh.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Now, there we go.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Something to warm the cockles of your heart, if it was in silver.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14But I fancy, in plate, this could be a struggle.
0:32:14 > 0:32:20Well, yes, there's the EPNS mark there. But there's lots going on.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22You've got the pen holders.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26I like this arrangement here, this sort of barrel opening
0:32:26 > 0:32:29and, of course, you've got the original bottles which is good.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32That's very often not the case. So, there's lots happening.
0:32:32 > 0:32:38It's such a pity it's not silver, but it has to make £20 or £30.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43Well, it needs to really, cos £50 was paid out of the bonus buy cash.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Anyway, that's it for the Reds.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Now for the Blues who've gone remarkably glassy-eyed here.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54They start out with the little decanter, acid-etched with a vine.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Is that something that will sell well, do you think?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Interestingly, you have the three bands here
0:33:00 > 0:33:04which would suggest that it could be Belfast glass,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08- but I don't think it is. - Blown glass bottom.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Quite a nice little piece, nice size.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- £20 to £30, maybe.- OK, £40 paid.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Let's move on to the cut-glass trinket box in the form of an egg.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Yes, here it is. Um...it appears to be in perfect condition.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28I don't think it's going to make an awful lot of money. £10, £20.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33Great. They only paid £8. And what about the air twist stem goblet?
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Yes, um, it's early 19th century,
0:33:37 > 0:33:41clearly, by the twist in the stem.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- It's a very unusual size. - Big, chunky thing, isn't it?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Yes, it's very curious.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I really am not sure what that was made for,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- but glass is always very popular. - Mmm.- Um...
0:33:55 > 0:33:58I think probably £40 to £60.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02OK, £28 paid, so you're predicting a decent profit on that
0:34:02 > 0:34:04which could make up for some of the losses
0:34:04 > 0:34:06on some of the other bits of glass.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08But then they only spent £76 overall,
0:34:08 > 0:34:14which means that the vast sum of £224 of leftover lolly
0:34:14 > 0:34:17went to David Harper. What did he buy?
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Right, Tim, well, all day we were searching for silver objects
0:34:21 > 0:34:24and we bought nothing but glass.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Yes.- So, what do you think I bought you?- Silver.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Quite a bucketful of silver.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Three silver picture frames
0:34:33 > 0:34:37absolutely in as-found condition, so uncleaned.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- These are the kind of things that the trade love to buy.- Yeah.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42What did you pay for them?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- OK, I paid £50 for all three. - Oh, very good.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- Bang on.- That's a very good bargain, yes.- So, there you go, girls.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52You get your chance to pick later, but why don't we find out
0:34:52 > 0:34:57whether the auctioneer of the moment today is similarly swept away.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Right, Daniel, this is a bit of a mixed lot.
0:35:01 > 0:35:07We've got the art deco one and these two silver Victorian struck chaps.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Photograph frames are always very popular.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Um, somebody is going to have to do a lot of work
0:35:13 > 0:35:18- but I think £40 to £60 wouldn't be out of the way.- OK, £50 paid,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- but a lot of work to get these right. - A lot of work to be done.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24We look forward to your performance on the rostrum. Good luck.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Well, here we are, on the edge.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- How are you feeling, girls?- Nervous. - Are you?- Excited.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Anything that you're particularly wishing you hadn't bought
0:35:38 > 0:35:41- or are you cool with everything? - The pearls.- The pearls.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45But we're talking about £15 here, sweet peas. It's nothing, is it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- Everybody happy?- Yes!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Oh, look at these naughty girls. Right, here we go.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Lot 319. A string of five pearls.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55At £5.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59At £10, thank you. At 10 here.
0:35:59 > 0:36:0215. 20. 5. 30.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04What are you worried about?
0:36:04 > 0:36:09At 5, sir? At 35. Against you, madam.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- £35, I don't believe it. Look at that.- There you go.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16You lovely little... I think, Mary, you're my heroine.
0:36:16 > 0:36:20- At £35. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:36:20 > 0:36:23- £35 is plus £20. - Quality costume jewellery.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Yeah, plus £20.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Now, perfect. Hang on.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30£30. 20, please, for the condiments.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Rather nice. 20 I'm bid.
0:36:32 > 0:36:375. 30, thank you, sir. At £30 with you, sir. 30.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39At £30, I have. All done.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- All finished at £35. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- 231.- It finished at £35, oh, blast it,
0:36:46 > 0:36:50which means you're plus £15. Look out, kids.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52This is where we've got a problem.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55£80, please, for the piano stool.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57£40. I'll take 30 to open.
0:36:57 > 0:37:0130 I'm bid. At 40. At 50.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04At 60. At 5.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09At 70. At 5. At 80.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10Close.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14- 5. At 90.- £110.- At 5.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17100. 110.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20110 now. 115.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23At £115 against you.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26At £115.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- At £115. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Yes!
0:37:31 > 0:37:34THEY LAUGH
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Well done!
0:37:38 > 0:37:43£115. Plus £5 means you're plus £20.
0:37:43 > 0:37:47- You're back in the money, girls. - Could be a winning score.- Yeah.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49So, what are you going to do about this inkstand?
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Are you going to go with it or are you going to stick
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- at £20 in the back pocket? - I think we'll stick.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58So, you've decided not to go with it but we're going to sell it anyway.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Let's have a bit of fun. Let's see what it brings. Stand by.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05A little art deco inkstand with a mounted calendar.
0:38:05 > 0:38:0910 I'm bid. Thank you, madam. 15 I'm bid now.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12£15 for the inkstand. 20 at the door.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15At £25, lady's bid here at 25.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18At £25, I'm selling. Back at 30.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21At 5. £35.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- At £35. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:38:24 > 0:38:25- Oh, bad luck, JP.- Yeah, well.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29You made the right call there, team, so you are preserved plus £20.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Now, £20 could easily be a winning score,
0:38:32 > 0:38:34so don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- We won't.- OK. - We will resume play in a moment.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Anything you wish you hadn't bought, Patience?- No.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48No, you're perfectly confident about everything.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50I'm happy about everything.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53And as you only spent £76, I think you have every reason to be.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57- Anyway, first up is your glass decanter with stopper.- Yeah.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59And here it comes.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03At £10 I'm bid for the decanter. At £10. 15?
0:39:03 > 0:39:07At £15. The bid's on my left at £15.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10- A Georgian decanter!- At £20, I have.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15At £20, I'm selling. At 5. At 30.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- At £30, all finished. £30. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:39:19 > 0:39:23- £30 is only minus £10. - Could have been worse.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26Could have been a lot worse. Could have been a bloodbath.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27You can make it all back now.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Nice egg-shaped box, this.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33£30, to open but we'll take 10. Thank you, madam. I'm bid 10.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37At 10. 15 with the porter. 15. Any more?
0:39:37 > 0:39:41At £15 all done. I'm selling, last call.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43- At £15. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- It's a profit. - That is £7 profit,, actually.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Nearly doubled your money, which means overall you're minus £3.
0:39:49 > 0:39:55Early 19th-century wine glass with an air twist stem.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58£20 I'm bid. At 5. At £25.
0:39:58 > 0:40:0330. Your bid, madam, at 30. £30 now. New bidder.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05With you, madam, at £35.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09At £35, it's all finished.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- All done at 35. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:40:11 > 0:40:15Takes you into profit. £35 is plus £7.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- You were minus £3, which means you finish up plus £4.- Yes!
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- That could buy us a cup of coffee. - Well, exactly!
0:40:23 > 0:40:25But if you decide to keep the £4
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- or are you going to speculate to accumulate?- Ooh.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33You've got one minute to decide, starting now.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- We're going to go.- You're going to go with it?- All right.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- They're going to go with the bonus buy.- Go on!
0:40:38 > 0:40:42I can tell you that the auctioneer's estimated it at £40 to £60.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45- He thinks it's a cool lot. You only paid £50.- Right.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47You stand a good chance, but we're standing on the edge.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50- We don't really know. This could go one way or the other.- Stop it, Tim!
0:40:50 > 0:40:55Lot 347. Could we say £60 for the three silver photograph frames?
0:40:55 > 0:41:00Silver-mounted frames. £60. 50, 40, take 30. 30 I'm bid.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03At £30 for the three frames.
0:41:03 > 0:41:0640 with the porter. At £40 and three frames.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Come on, come on.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11You're all done at £40.
0:41:11 > 0:41:16- I'm selling at £40. - HE BANGS GAVEL
0:41:16 > 0:41:17Oh!
0:41:17 > 0:41:20- £40!- You had £4.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24You just lost £10 which means your final score is minus £6.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- Ouch.- And that, dear Patience, could be a winning score.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- All will be revealed in just a moment. Thank you very much.- Lovely.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39Have you been chatting to one another at all,
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- like comparing the scores? CONTESTANTS:- No.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45So it's still a secret? You have no idea who's ahead and who's behind?
0:41:45 > 0:41:49- No, we haven't. - Well, it is my duty, nay honour,
0:41:49 > 0:41:54- to reveal today that the team that is behind by a chunk is the Blues.- Oh!
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Yes. Minus £6. It was going along beautifully.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00The trinket box, £7 profit.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04And that large glass, £7 profit, which is so lovely.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09Anyway, there we are. Let's not dwell. The overall score is minus £6.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- But have you had a great time? - Wonderful!- Yes.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14We've had a great time watching you
