0:00:03 > 0:00:06Just a few miles from Stafford town centre,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09lies a bargain hunter's paradise.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11We have been shopping here for years.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18We have bought over 100 antiques here, met dozens of dealers
0:00:18 > 0:00:22and made loads of people loads of money. And look!
0:00:22 > 0:00:25They have laid out the red carpet for us.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Gosh!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Hang on. Blue carpet too?
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Well, I guess they are the stars of the show after all.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37So let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03The stage is set for a dramatic pursuit of antiques.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06The showground has been transformed into a huge treasure chest,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10crammed with silver, gold, paintings and porcelain.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16But like all precious treasure, it is not that easy to find.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17And our teams only have
0:01:17 > 0:01:2060 minutes to track down the booty.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24So let's take a sneaky peak as to what is coming up.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28The Red team struggle with the £300 budget.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29That's 195.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32It is only probably going to be five times beyond our budget.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38There are ups and downs for the Blue team.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- You are doing good. - THEY LAUGH
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And it is all go at the auction.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Yes!- Oh, go on, go on!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48- Look at this.- Thank you!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50At 24, at 24...
0:01:50 > 0:01:53But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Today, on Bargain Hunt, we are going to learn from the older generation
0:01:58 > 0:02:03with a team of grandmothers and their grandchildren.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06For the Reds, we have Emily and Hillary.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08And for the Blues, we have Wayne and Beryl. Hello, everyone.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- ALL:- Hello.- Hello, hello, hello. Now, Hillary, you are retired.- Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17What did you get up to before you adopted this life of luxury?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Um, I used to work for one of the major banks
0:02:20 > 0:02:22in their credit card division.
0:02:22 > 0:02:27- Did you?- Yeah, I was dealing with the top 5% of the bank's customers,
0:02:27 > 0:02:29the extremely rich.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33And sometimes they used to probably go abroad,
0:02:33 > 0:02:38say for the season, and they would forget about the credit card.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41So you would have to trace where they were
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and have a discussion with them.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Which I bet you were jolly good at.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Now, Emily, are you keen on antiques? - Yes, I get it from Nan.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- And what is your particular taste? - I love silver.- Do you?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Anything silver.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57But jewellery is a particular interest for you, isn't it?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Yeah, I like to make my own little bits and bobs.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I make necklaces, rings, earrings...
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Well, I have recently started trying to sell them on to people.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07So I started off with my mum,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and then she has gone and recommended them to her friends.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Yeah, no, good.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14How will you work out working with your grandmother as a team?
0:03:14 > 0:03:18- I think we will be a good team.- Yes.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21We like similar things, but then we have our odd...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- Our odd thing that we are a bit... - Different on.- Yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So I think it will be good. I think we will work together quite well.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I tend to like expensive items,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31so I am worried that I will have a job to keep.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- So you will spend all your cash today?- Absolutely.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37Well, won't that be exciting! Anyway, very good luck with that.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Now, Wayne, tell me about your lovely grandmother,
0:03:40 > 0:03:43who inspired you to become a collector.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47My nan used to always take us to town on our birthday.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48And we were allowed to buy one item.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50So we could go anywhere, look at anything,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52but we would only have one thing.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I bought a Pelham puppet.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58And then Nan used to visit.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00And when she came to Nottingham, where I live now,
0:04:00 > 0:04:05we saw a Pelham puppet in a charity shop and I bought it.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07And now I have got over 150 of them.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- No!- So, I am obsessed with them.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13So some of these Pelham puppets that you have bought have been
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- bargains, have they? I hope. - My nan found my favourite one,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19which is a Pink Panther.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Went to a car-boot sale
0:04:21 > 0:04:25and all I could see was my nan's bottom in this box.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29And she pulled out this Pink Panther puppet
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- and got the guy that was selling it down to £12.- Yes.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- And what is it actually worth? - About £150, £160.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Well, that is pretty good, isn't it?
0:04:39 > 0:04:43So now, Beryl, if I said that you worked closely with two fat ladies,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45that would not be a rude thing, would it?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- Bingo.- Bingo!
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- Because that was your job. - That was my job for 25 years.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I was a bingo ticket seller.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55And the numbers being called,
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- that was by one of the men that worked as a caller.- Right.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02And when the winners shouted house, well,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05stewards, as we were then,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08would go over to the table,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09run down with the books
0:05:09 > 0:05:13and call out the numbers back to the caller to make sure they tallied.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16- They double checked, yes. - Exactly.- And was it good fun?
0:05:16 > 0:05:21- I enjoyed every minute of it.- 25 years.- I went for a fortnight trial.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And that was the longest fortnight I worked.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Isn't that brilliant?- Yes, 25 years.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- And how many grandchildren do you actually have?- Altogether, 24.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- Really?- That's including the great-grandchildren as well.
0:05:35 > 0:05:40Oh, great-grandchildren? Brilliant. And are they all collectors?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Not in a sense, no. We are the collectors, Wayne and I.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46What sort of thing do you like to collect yourself?
0:05:46 > 0:05:51- Dolls, traditional dolls. - Porcelain-headed dolls?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55No, all sorts of dolls, as long as they catch my eye and I like them.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- How many dolls have you got, Beryl? - Oh, my gosh, about 200 or more.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Really? So will you be buying a doll today on Bargain Hunt, do you think?
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- I hope so.- If you can find one.- Yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09They are hard to find now, the ones I like.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Anyway, the next best bit is that money moment,
0:06:12 > 0:06:17where I give you the £300. Here comes the £300. There we go.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Look, £300. You know the rules. Your experts await.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23And off you go! And very, very, very good luck.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Well, there is never a doll moment on this programme.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Lending their expertise today are Colin Young,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33who is showing his true colours.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37And hats off to Kate Bliss,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39who is helping the Blues.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46So, what are the teams looking for today?
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Oh, some silver.- Yep. - And small clocks.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Something quirky and traditional.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And jewellery. Jewellery, jewellery, jewellery.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57- Lots of jewellery!- Yes.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59What about you, Wayne?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Something that stands out, obviously going to make us a profit.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Right, that's good.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Hopefully, maybe a toy or a teddy bear or something like that.- OK.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Step on it, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15WHISTLE BLOWS Go forth and get buying, teams.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Yeah. Thank you.- Yeah.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- Is it working? - I think we'll just give that a miss.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24And, youngsters, look after your grandmas. That's right, Wayne.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I was just looking at some of the perfume bottles.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Would that interest you? - Yeah, they are pretty.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35- I tell you what, you have got really good taste.- Expensive taste.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Because that there is actually a Thomas Webb piece, Victorian.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42And it is only going to probably be five times beyond our budget.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- Oh, what a shame.- So I think we will just have to give that a miss.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- All right.- But well spotted. You've seen the quality.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52Oh, I do like a lady with expensive tastes.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- It has got a bit of a... - What is going on there?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Oh, do you know what that is? - A lighter.- It is, Beryl.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03It is a table lighter.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Let's just have a look how old it might be. Have you broken it, Wayne?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- What has happened?- The headless dog.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- There you go.- That fits in there, I see. And that goes down there.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14And it has got a little open...
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Oh, look at that. Look,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19that's where you can rest your cigarettes.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It is a collectible piece. People still collect things
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- whether they are in use today or not.- I quite like that.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- I might come back for that.- OK. - Let's see how we go.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It is great to have one up our sleeve.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Let's put it back for now. Thank you very much.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Strong start by the Blues. How about the Reds?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Is that Japanese? - It is Japanese, yes.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45It is 19th century. This is actually an object of protection.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It is the hand guard, called a tsuba,
0:08:48 > 0:08:51which would be before the blade to ensure that obviously you
0:08:51 > 0:08:52didn't cut yourself.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- It is marked at 135. Do you want to keep that in mind...- Yes.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- ..as something we may come back to? - Yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Hillary is not so keen on spending big on a tsuba, it seems.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MUSIC
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The Blues have found some pencils for 65.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15So what have you two found?
0:09:15 > 0:09:20- Found these little silver pencils. - Oh, yes.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Now, I think these look like bridge markers.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26You have got your little pencil on the and.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Yes, they are marked sterling silver.- Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31So they are not actually hallmarked for English silver,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34but we know that they are sterling standard, which is quite nice.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38And I love the little enamelled card suits at the top here.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41We have got spades and the red diamonds.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Some of them are a bit worn, though.- That one is worn, isn't it?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46There is a little bit of damage on that one.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49And that one looks completely plain.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- What would be your best price on these?- Could do 40 on them.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I think the fact that the enamel is gone a little bit will
0:09:55 > 0:09:56pull them down a bit.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Would you be able to take any lower on the price? 20?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I can do 25.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- 25?- That's very kind of you, madam.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Shall we have a little look around? We have got two maybes.- I think so.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10That is at 20 and then we could come back, if they are still here.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- What do you think, yeah? - We can come back to it if you like.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15We are just going to play it cool.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Don't play it too cool, Blues. Time is a-ticking.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Well, that's nice.- That's lovely. It is a perfume bottle, isn't it?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Do you want to pass that over? I can only see the back of it.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- Is it all right...?- Would you like me to take it out?- Please, yes.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- That is very kind.- There we go.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- It is a really pretty scent bottle. - I love it.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40I like it, that it is the original case, isn't it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- The case as well, gives it more character.- Nice cut glass.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45It all appears to be in good order.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Little bit of gilding on there. That is really, really pretty.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Should we open it up?- Do you want to hold that?- Yes. Check the end.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57And I will open and just see what we have got inside. Oh, there we go.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Got the original cork stopper in there as well.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Isn't that amazing? - Because it is two ends,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04you'd have two different perfumes in it?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Correct, that's it.- Oh, wow!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09I think because it has got its box, it just makes it extra special.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- It does, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Excuse me, sir, what figure are you looking for?
0:11:13 > 0:11:14What figure are you looking for on it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- The best I could do on that would be £150.- Best is 150.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21There is no movement on that at all, is there?
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I'm afraid there isn't. I do have another nice one.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26If you'd like to look at it.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I have got a really nice one in here.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33Beautifully cut. I mean, really, really... You know, a super thing.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- And that is silver as well? - That is silver.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37What do you feel about that one?
0:11:37 > 0:11:40I think it is nice. I like the colour.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44But I can do... I can do you... Can I look at my price on there?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I can do you that one for 110.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Oh.- But that one has got its case, hasn't it?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- That one has got its case.- Hm.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Decisions.- Decisions, decisions.- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- I would stick with the one that you have gone for.- I agree.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- The one we were attracted to in the first place.- Yeah.- No, I do agree.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04And can we beg another tenner off by any chance?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- You can beg another tenner. 140. - 140, do we have a deal?- Yay!
0:12:07 > 0:12:12Ah, the sweet smell of a first purchase. And for 140 smackers, too.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14That is a mighty spend!
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- I know, time is running out. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Now, with 15 minutes already gone, those Blues need to get buying.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27But instead, they are reminiscing.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- That reminds me of when I was little.- Does it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Did you have one of those when you were little?- Very little, yes.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Did you?- Yeah.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39First time I went on the beach, we were all frightened to
0:12:39 > 0:12:41walk on the sand because we didn't know what it was.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44How funny, to be frightened of the sand!
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- We had never seen it in our lives, you know.- No, of course.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I think the bucket was what brought it to mind more than anything.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Cos I do like the shape and everything about it, the colour.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58And Mickey Mouse is well liked by everybody.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, you're never going to believe this, but this has got £49 on it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- HE GASPS - Oh, that is a lot.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Yeah, that is a lot.- Which I think is a lot, actually.- Yes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- I'm glad you remembered your day on the beach.- I remember that!
0:13:11 > 0:13:13So what else have we got here?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I thought the duck was quite cute.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Oh, he is gorgeous, isn't he? A little clockwork duck.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23And his head, kind of... As his mouth moves...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26This is a lovely one, isn't it? and I love the way the eyes move.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Oh, and he is off.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33In a day when he was working a little better,
0:13:33 > 0:13:34his head may have bobbed up and down as well.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38Oh, right. That is very nice. And the colours are right, aren't they?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41In terms of him not bobbing, what would be your best price?
0:13:41 > 0:13:46- I'd be more than happy to do that for you for 35.- 35. 35?
0:13:46 > 0:13:49What do you think the auction estimate would be?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I think the auction estimate might be a little bit lower than that.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- I mean, obviously, this is a retail price.- Yes.- At a fair.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57An auction price...
0:13:57 > 0:14:01I would say because of the little bit of workings that aren't
0:14:01 > 0:14:04really like the original one,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07maybe sort of 15 to 20, I would say, probably.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09How about I do it at 25?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- I like the price 20 as well. - If you could say 20.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14She drives a hard bargain, doesn't she?
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- How can you resist? Look at that lovely face.- Go, Beryl!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20OK, I will do 22, how about that?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- 22?- 22, yes.- Shall we get him?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Fabulous, I will wrap that up for you.- Thank you very much.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- Well done.- Is that OK?- First buy. - Yay!- I hope so, we've done it.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36How charming that the Blues'
0:14:36 > 0:14:40first item came from the stall that reminded Beryl of her youth.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42MUSIC: I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside
0:14:42 > 0:14:44MUSIC: Money by Pink Floyd
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Meanwhile, Hillary is living up to her reputation.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52Yes. Yeah. You do have expensive taste, it has to be said, Hillary.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- My husband says that.- Really?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Yes, yes.- Silver...
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah. Yeah. It is going to be too much again.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Oh, that is 195!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07- Out of our budget, I'm afraid.- Yeah.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09That looks very...very expensive.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Can you see I've got expensive taste?- Well...
0:15:11 > 0:15:14Yes, we can, Hillary.
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Beryl, on the other hand, is less about bling and more about bears.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- Teddy bears over here. - Let's have a look.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Yeah, let's have a look, Beryl. Do you prefer bears or dolls?
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Both.- Both!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Yes.- What about you, Wayne? - I am more of a bear person.- Bear.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- Are you?- Nan's more a doll collector.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- I am a bit of a bear person. - I do like the bears.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37He is quite nice. You like him?
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Oh, he is a Merrythought. - He is a Merrythought, yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47That is a really good British toy manufacturer there.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Do you know roughly how old there is?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55I would say 1960s, from the person we got it off of,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- the history of the item. 1960s. - '60s.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03You know what I am going to ask, don't you, sir?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Is there anything you could do for us?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10You have got 50 on there. I know it has got a lovely label.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11What is your best?
0:16:11 > 0:16:14The very, very best, the absolute rock bottom, no more arguing,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16would be 35.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18That would be the absolute death.
0:16:19 > 0:16:24- So, did you hear that? 35.- Yes. Yes. That would be good.
0:16:24 > 0:16:2635 would be the top end of an auction estimate,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30but I think, you know, you are in with a chance.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33If we have got a toy already,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36and we have put these pens,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- the little bridge pens...- Yes.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Of the two, which do you think would be the better buy,
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- out of the bridge pens or the bear?- Teddy.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- Teddy.- So is that a deal? - Deal. Yes. High five.- High five.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I knew she'd get that teddy. Her name is Beryl after all.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Bear-yl, get it?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Oh. Never mind.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00And she wasn't the only one to find something special at Stafford.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Take a look at these.
0:17:08 > 0:17:14One of the most popular collectibles out there are little boxes like this.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18They are small, they're portable and often made of novelty materials,
0:17:18 > 0:17:20and people love them.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24This one, I think, is great because it incorporates a natural
0:17:24 > 0:17:28history specimen - the common old, garden mussel shell.
0:17:28 > 0:17:33Somebody has walked along a British beach, found this nice shell.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37They have polished it up a bit to reveal the dark purple
0:17:37 > 0:17:38and black detail.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Then they have taken it to a metal basher and said,
0:17:41 > 0:17:44"I want to make a snuff box out of this."
0:17:44 > 0:17:47It is cheaply made because it has been made out of brass,
0:17:47 > 0:17:49but it has been beautifully made.
0:17:49 > 0:17:55And on a side table, as a part of a collection, it is a perfect example.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00And at £30, I regard it as being inexpensive.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02At the other end of the spectrum,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06though, you can come across the most sophisticated
0:18:06 > 0:18:09and gorgeous collectible box
0:18:09 > 0:18:13made of an exotic wood, probably mulberry,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17with a lot of faceted lines,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20so they are all difficult surfaces to veneer.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23You have got a little cartouche there, look.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27And a thumb piece here, where you would expect to open the box up.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30Except try as you might, it doesn't open.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36And the reason it doesn't open is that it has got a secret compartment.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38You get at the compartment, actually,
0:18:38 > 0:18:42by twisting the end like that and then pulling it out.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44Isn't that surprising?
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Now, for the collector who has got 500 of these snuff boxes
0:18:48 > 0:18:50but not this particular variety
0:18:50 > 0:18:56will pay a handsome price for such a thing in perfect condition.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01What might he pay? Well, top end of £400, I guess.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Which is not to be sniffed at.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Particularly when you have only paid £150 for it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Back to the Bargain Hunting.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21And with 40 minutes gone, the Reds need to pull their finger
0:19:21 > 0:19:23out as they have only bought one item.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- These little bears? No?- No.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30But the Blues are sailing on smoothly,
0:19:30 > 0:19:33with two very special grown-up items in the bag.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35- You fell in love with the teddy bear, didn't you?- Yes.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38I fell in love with the duck. So I think we both got one each.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40I've enjoyed every minute of it.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44And I am mesmerized with everything here.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Aw, that is so sweet!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50On the other side of the hall,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52the Reds have finally found some jewellery.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55There was a turquoise ring back there.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And it is affordable, at £16.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- Would both of you wear it? - I definitely would.- You would?
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- Would you? You'd wear that. - Yes, I would. Yes, I would. Yes.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09It's turquoise.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- Is it silver, Colin, or gold? - Well, we shall see.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I would hazard a guess it is going to be silver.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- It's only...- It's only... Yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21But let's just work on the principle that you've just done, which is
0:20:21 > 0:20:22you both like it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Yeah, we like it. - You would both wear it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28So what does that tell you if it goes to auction?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31It is a pretty little ring.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- But it is not big money.- No.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- But then you have spent big money already.- We have spent big money.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39What if we lost on the big money? We need something to bring us back.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- That is not going to make us a lot, is it?- £16.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43There are going to be plenty of people at auction
0:20:43 > 0:20:46that are going to like it, they're going to bid for it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Might not spend a lot of money,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51- but we might not spend a lot of money either.- Yeah.- No, no.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Have a word with the dealer.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55If he is happy to sell it at ten and you can make a profit out of it
0:20:55 > 0:20:57at that, then that is great.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Yeah?- Do you want to have a chat with him? See what you can do.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Would you accept £10?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- We have to make a living. What have we got on that?- Please!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Yeah, we will do it for ten. - Thank you. Thank you.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13Well done, Reds.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Turns out they can spend small after all.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20We have got ten minutes left, which isn't long, believe me.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22We haven't been in the third shed,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25so I suggest we whiz through there, and if we don't see anything,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27perhaps we will go back to the bridge markers. Yes?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Yes, that's fine. Lovely. - Let's go.- Come on.- Come on.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Oh! Has Colin spotted a bargain?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40That should make 150, maybe £200 absolute tops.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44On that basis, we need to be buying it for 150.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48We have only got 150 left.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53- Oh, right.- We spent 145.- 'Whoopsie!' - We need to leave you with something.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The best we could do is probably 145.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Would you be able to check your stock book and see if we can...?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01I will have a look for you.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Sorry.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08OK, it cost me nearly what Colin said at auction price,
0:22:08 > 0:22:14so unfortunately, I'm sorry, but I won't be able to do 145.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Well, it was worth a punt, I guess.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Meanwhile, the Blues have decided to try before they buy'
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Have a little sit there, Beryl, and we will hold the end.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I'll try the other side.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Are you ready?- Ready.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30THEY LAUGH
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Woohoo! Look at this!
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Woo!
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Aaah!
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Oh, Beryl, you are not really 81 at all.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44I'm doing good.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- In terms of like, quirkiness... - This is good.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- We are looking for something a bit different.- Yes.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I quite like it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56What we need to do is look at the price on it.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01We have got... £175!
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Whoa!- What do you think?- It's a lot. - No, leave it there.- Yeah.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- It is out of our league. - Let's have a look around.- Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:07We will have another look around.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- But, yeah, you looked like you were having fun on there.- I was!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Well, they're very relaxed for a team with one item to
0:23:13 > 0:23:15buy and only seven minutes left.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Same goes for the Reds, actually.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23- The big Deco perfume bottle. There are two there.- Yep.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- The green are rather lovely as well. - I love that colour.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Certainly, perfume bottles are way out of budget
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- because you know how little we have got left.- OK.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34But I have seen something on there that is definitely in the budget
0:23:34 > 0:23:38and looks all right. What about that ink stand?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40£30 is being asked for it.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43It won't be silver. It won't be old.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46But it is that Victorian style.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It has got the look, hasn't it? - It has.- It looks nice.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- It is very attractive. Um...- But you'd rather look at the malachite.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54SHE LAUGHS
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Could this be a perfume bottle? - Yeah, that one is pretty.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Is that the one that you...? Yeah.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03To give you a sporting chance, and it is to give you a sporting
0:24:03 > 0:24:08chance because it is Art Deco - 120...
0:24:08 > 0:24:09£100.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Can I handle it, please? - Of course you can.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14£90.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15What is your feeling on that?
0:24:15 > 0:24:20My feeling on it is you have got three things that you can buy.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- You have got that.- Yes. - You have got the desk stand.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25And you've got the tsuba.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I think all of them are things that we could go for
0:24:29 > 0:24:30and are worth having.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- We haven't got long!- No, I know.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35We will leave the Reds to make the minds up.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39With only six minutes left, even the cool Blues are in a spin.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- I thought that was the lady. - Which way was it?- Down here.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It was at the back.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Oh, gosh.- Guys! Over here! Where are you going?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I thought it was that lady down there.
0:24:51 > 0:24:52I looked around and you had gone!
0:24:55 > 0:25:00OK, now, where is she? You were right. You were right, Beryl.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Here she is. Let's have another look at them, check them out.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Are they still all there? Yes. We have got four in there.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Is it worth...? What was the best price?
0:25:10 > 0:25:15- It was 45, then 25.- 25. - Do you reckon we could go to 20?
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Yeah? 20?- Thank you very much.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Are we happy?- Yes.- Yeah.- Great!
0:25:21 > 0:25:25- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- Wonderful. Well done!
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Phew!
0:25:26 > 0:25:30Last item bought for a bargain. Well done, Blues.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32So, have Reds come to a decision?
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Gamble on the bigger money, go for safety. One minute.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- It is so difficult.- Come on! Pick, pick. What do you think?
0:25:39 > 0:25:45- Well, we could go with that. - OK, that's great, that's lovely.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Thank you for being so helpful. Thank you very much.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Thank you very much. - HORN BLOWS
0:25:50 > 0:25:51The full measure. Time is up.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55You really do take it to the wire, you pair, don't you?
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- We needed at least £2,000. - Per item for your taste!
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Naturally, the Reds spent nearly half their budget on the first item,
0:26:06 > 0:26:09a scent bottle for £140.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11They reined it in, though, for the second,
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and spent just £10 on this turquoise ring.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19And not content with one perfume bottle,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22they bought an atomizer as well for a princely £90.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- You have got the expensive tastes, haven't you?- Yes.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- You certainly have. And how much did you spend in the end?- 240.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32240. I'd like £60 of leftover lolly, please.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Now, Emily, tell me, which is your favourite piece?- The perfume bottle.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37- You love that, don't you?- Love it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- And what is your favourite, Hillary? - Mine is the same.- Is it?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42We'd both like to fight over that one.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- You won't have to because we're going to sell it.- I know.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Is it going to bring the biggest profit, do you think?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50We bought a very reasonable ring. If that doesn't make a profit...
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- We've had it. - THEY LAUGH
0:26:53 > 0:26:56All right, fine. Anyway, as we know, Colin, here is £60 for you.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Thank you very much.- Got anything in mind?- Well, yeah.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01There has been a bit of a theme with what they've bought,
0:27:01 > 0:27:05- so I think I am going to tell you nothing and...- Mix it up a bit.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07No, just keep you off the scent, that is all I was thinking.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Oh, dear! Thank you, Colin.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Right now, though, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:27:13 > 0:27:18The charming tin-plate duck cost the Blues just £22.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And sticking to the kids theme,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25they've snapped up the Merrythought bear for £35.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32And bridge anyone? These silver pencils were purchased for £20.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- How much did you spend?- £77.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Not a dent in our 300.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43- You had a lovely time, haven't you? - Brilliant. Really good, thank you.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44Yes. Really enjoyed it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48- Now, I have to ask you, Wayne, which is your favourite piece?- The duck.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- Do you agree with that, Beryl? - The teddy.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57So, 77. I would like to £223
0:27:57 > 0:28:00of leftover lolly, please. Thank you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04- 223. That is great, Beryl. Your bit of fun, Kate...- Hm!- ..is to come!
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- With all that cash. - Great.- I hope you spend the lot.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I don't know, actually. I'm going to go and have a good look.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Fantastic team.- Yeah, good fun.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Anyway, right, stand by for the next round,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20which will take place over at the auction. In Stratford.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Our host auctioneers today are Big Woods,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and I am chatting to auctioneer Mark Ashley about our items.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Go nice on the stick, sir. Put it on the stick.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32Good morning, Tim.
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Good morning to you. Well, a bit of an oddball mix here for the Reds.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40They started out with the double-ended scent bottle.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Scent probably at one, smelling salts at the other. That is
0:28:43 > 0:28:46usually the cloudy end cos of the ammonia in the salts.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Rather nice silver.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Sometimes if you get coloured glass, it can make more money.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56Have I ever seen one in a trough form, leather-covered box before?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- I'm not sure I have, actually. - I don't think I have.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- That will sit very happily on your dressing table.- It is a good thing.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- It is quite early too, isn't it? - 1859.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05- Early.- So it's a good early one.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08So a lot of things going in its favour. What is it worth?
0:29:08 > 0:29:11- Well, we have only got 40 to 70 on it.- You are very mean!
0:29:11 > 0:29:14I think that could be exceeded. I do.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- It could make up to 100, I would have thought.- It needs to make 140.
0:29:17 > 0:29:22- Oh, right. With a bit of luck. - Next is the turquoise set dress ring.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Which is just a modern thing, isn't it?- It is. A little modern ring.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29It is always an attractive stone. You know, people like it.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- It is considered a lucky stone, turquoise.- What is it worth?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- We have put 10-20 on it. - Fine, they paid £10.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39It will make its money. And then the last item, I think,
0:29:39 > 0:29:43could turn out to be a very desirable internet interesting object, cos
0:29:43 > 0:29:49this is genuine 1920s-30s, and it is in this lovely malachite glass.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52I love that. It is classic Art Deco. And I think this will do very well.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57- How much?- Well, we have put 40 to 60. - OK, fine. 40 to 60.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Any chance of it making 100?- I think it could do that on a good day.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Yeah, well, it needs to because they paid £90.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05So it is all very chancy for these Reds,
0:30:05 > 0:30:07which makes for great excitement in the auction.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10And if it goes the wrong way, they will need their bonus buy.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Let's go and have a look.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Emily, Hillary, you spent £240. Quite magnificent. You gave Colin £60.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21- Colin, what did you spend it on?- I went halfway to spending it all.- Oh.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22Got rid of 30.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25And I got you your just deserts. A jelly mould!
0:30:25 > 0:30:30- Oh, right.- "Oh, right." - Just deserts is very good, though.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34Definitely copper, definitely Victorian. Nice shape.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- It smells dreadfully, actually. - It smells?- It smells, yes.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39I think it is the copper.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43- It is quite attractive. Would it polish up?- Oh, yes, very much so.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Well, yeah, I probably would like it better
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- if it was really nicely polished. - Yes.- It is growing on me, Colin.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54- Like the verdigris?- Yes, yes. - And the smell.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56Anyway, for the audience at home, let's find out
0:30:56 > 0:31:01whether the auctioneer finds this particular object smelly or not.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05Now, Mark, are there many collectors for kitchenalia like that?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Well, there are. The American market is strong for jelly moulds.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11And it is nice, being in copper.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Made them and all sorts of things - creamware, stoneware,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16glass, tin...
0:31:16 > 0:31:19But copper is nice. Polished up, look good.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- That one hasn't been polished for a year or two.- No.- No.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- What is it worth?- Well, we have only put 30 to 40 on it.- That's perfect.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Colin Young, the cunning one, only spent £30.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32So if the team go with it, they have got a chance of a small profit,
0:31:32 > 0:31:34which is what the bonus buy is supposed to be all about.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Moving on to the Blues, they get a bit of a quacker to start off with.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Are you going to have a play with it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Yes, let's bring that over and have a go.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44I have had a little play with this earlier,
0:31:44 > 0:31:46and it just seems to go backwards.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49- Oh, does it?- Yeah.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- There we are.- It is so sweet. - That is what is so good about it!
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Don't you love the way it trembles when it stops?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57It is as if the water is too cold to get in.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- Have you ever seen one like that before?- I haven't.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- I think it is a good thing. - Me either.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03I love bits of tin-plate, don't you?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Whether they are mass produced or not, I don't care.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09It is in good condition. It is a sweet little object.
0:32:09 > 0:32:10What is it worth?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Well, we have put 15 to 25 on it. - OK, £22 paid.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17It will make its money. And I bet an internet buyer goes for that.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21- Next is the Merrythought there.- Yep.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Called the hygienic bear, I guess because you could wash them.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29So when a child has vomited all over it and you decide you need to
0:32:29 > 0:32:33clean it up, you can bang it in a bucket and shake it all about.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- That one is quite a nice clean example.- It is.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- It is in good condition. A good example.- So, what is it worth?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Well, we have put 15 to 25 on it. - I think quite right.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43It is a little tease, isn't it?
0:32:43 > 0:32:47£35, they paid. I think they will be lucky if they get there, frankly.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Now, do you play bridge?- No.- No.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52Well, if you did, you would have to have this set -
0:32:52 > 0:32:55four nice solid silver propelling pencil
0:32:55 > 0:32:57bridge scoring pens. Lovely.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01In a case. Have you had much interest?
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- No.- Do you sell these often? - We don't. We haven't had many.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09The one problem is, though, that the suits,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13the card suits there, are pretty well worn off.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15You have only really got the odd red diamond
0:33:15 > 0:33:18and I think you have got something else on there as well.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19But they are very worn off.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- And so I really didn't think it'll do too well.- No.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26That is a bore. I didn't realise that it wasn't such poor condition.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29I mean, the silver is all right but not with the enamelling rubbed off.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34- No, I've gone right off those. OK, how much?- 20 to 30.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35OK, that's all right. £20 paid.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Nobody is going to be arguing or crying into their beer about that.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41They paid the right money for them, anyway, that is the main thing.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Their plan was to leave a lot for the expert to go off
0:33:44 > 0:33:46and maybe spend, and that is exactly what they did.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50So let's find out what Kate Bliss did buy.
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Kate, you got £223. I'm going to help you by taking off that cloth.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56- Thank you.- What did you spend it on?
0:33:56 > 0:34:01Well, a stylish pair, I thought. And a pair of candlesticks.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04OK, shall we take them out? Let me... Oh, gosh, that's weighty.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06You feel that, Beryl.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08So have a good look at them.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Now, they are not particularly my thing, actually,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15but I bought them because I thought they were a fantastic value.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17They are silver-plated.
0:34:17 > 0:34:23They are by a leading high street specialist in jewellery,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25silver and silver-plate.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30And they come with their original bags and box, which is
0:34:30 > 0:34:31all rather nice.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36So with the original packaging. I think if these were in the high
0:34:36 > 0:34:40street shop, they would probably retail at about £150,
0:34:40 > 0:34:41maybe even £200.
0:34:41 > 0:34:42How much did you pay?
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- 25.- Do you think they would make a profit?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- I think if they don't, I would be disappointed.- Good. Lovely.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Well, we got the gen. Thank you very much. That is great, Kate.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Let's find out now, for the audience at home, whether the auctioneer
0:34:55 > 0:34:58agrees that they are great, Kate.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01- Well, that's...- Oh, God. Heavy, aren't they?- Yeah, they are.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Lot of metal in there.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06- Brand Harry Spankers, of course. - Absolutely.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- But stylish.- Contemporary.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Anything of a market here in Stratford for this type of thing?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Well, I think they are sellable. They are in good condition
0:35:14 > 0:35:16cos they are not old. They are a pair. They look good.
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- I think we will sell those. - How much?- 20 to 30.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24Well, Kate Bliss paid £25, so she paid the right price.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28I can see you making 40 if you whip up a bit of interest.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- You like doing a bit of a whipping up, though, don't you?- We do.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32- I like that.- Well, good luck.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Enough of all that chat. Take to the rostrum, Mark Ashley!
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Now, Hillary, Emily, how are you feeling?- Nervous.- Excited.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45We have got some good objects here and you deserve to do well.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Anyway, first up is the Victorian double-ended
0:35:49 > 0:35:51scent bottle, and here it comes.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Victorian silver cut glass in the nice little box.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Do I see £50 to start?
0:35:58 > 0:36:00You are very reluctant. Madam, thank you.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04I can take you on in commission. 60. It is a good thing.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Have 70 with me. 80.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0890 on the net.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09I can go 100 on commission.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10At £100.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12110, you are back on the net.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Oh. That's good.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16It is with me at £120.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18130, back on the net.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20At 130. I can go 140.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22I will sell then at 140.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- 140.- So bad luck.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I tell you, you paid 140, you got 140.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30But like I say, it is a good thing, and the market will support you.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Wiped its face. Now, your little ring, for a tenner.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39This little silver and turquoise. Lovely old stone, the turquoise.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42A lot of interest in it. £10, surely.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44£10, sir. Ten bid. At ten.
0:36:44 > 0:36:45Do I see 15?
0:36:45 > 0:36:4715. 18.
0:36:47 > 0:36:4920. Two.
0:36:49 > 0:36:5224. 26.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5324 back to you, madam.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57The lady's bid at 24. It is a nice little ring, miss.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00At 24, the lady's bid. And I'll sell...
0:37:00 > 0:37:04That's plus £14.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05- That is really super.- Wow.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Yeah, at least we got a little plus.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Now, this thing, Colin, has to make its money.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Perfume atomizer. Surely it is £100.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Make me a bid. 30 to start me.
0:37:17 > 0:37:2020 then. The internet has come in at 30.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Madam, I'll take five from you.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26The internet's gone. 40. Five. Thank you.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29I am with the lady in the room. It will be undersold.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32It is a good thing at 45. And I'll sell it...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Madam, 45.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Ugh. £45.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39That is minus 45. You were plus 14.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43That is minus 45, which means you are now minus 31, OK?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45So what are you going to do about the bonus buy?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47- Are you going with it?- Shall we?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Yes.- OK, we are going with the bonus buy. The auctioneer liked it.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52He has put 30 to 40 on. Colin paid 30.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55So with any luck, it will make a profit. And here it comes.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Copper jelly mould. There we are. Nice copper one.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59What about this then?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02£30 for it. 30 straight off, sir.
0:38:02 > 0:38:0430 bid. Do I see five?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Do I seek two? If it helps.
0:38:06 > 0:38:0932, sir, at the stairs. Thank you.
0:38:09 > 0:38:1134. 36. 38.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15- Well done, Colin.- 40. Can I ask five of you, sir? 50 now? No?
0:38:15 > 0:38:18At 45, the gentleman seated.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I'll sell it now. 45.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24At £45, that is brilliant. A bit of a wobble, yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25My legs have gone to jelly.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, so that is plus 15. All right, well done, Colin.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30That has clawed it back, matey.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- Which means, overall, you are now only minus 16.- Oh, that's...
0:38:35 > 0:38:39- There is no shame in that at all. - Yeah.- Well done. Excellent.- Oh, wow.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Well, it could be a winning score.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Thing is, don't say a word to those Blues, all right?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Do you know how the Reds got on?- No. - Nope, you don't know.
0:38:53 > 0:38:54We don't want you to know.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Anyway, your first item is the tin-plate clockwork duck,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01which is so sweet, isn't it?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03It keeps wiggling its little tail
0:39:03 > 0:39:05cos it is finding it cold in the water.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Anyway, here we go. Here comes the clockwork ducky-wuck.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Good little thing, isn't it? In decent condition.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14Surely that is £20.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Two. Thank you. Five. Eight. 30, sir?
0:39:17 > 0:39:2030. 30 bid. Five. 40, sir?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Have another. Five. 50? Go on.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Go on!
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Beat you into submission, sir.
0:39:25 > 0:39:26Thank you!
0:39:26 > 0:39:2850, sir. On the right at £50.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- At 50, and I'll sell it.- £50!
0:39:30 > 0:39:32£50.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34£50, that is brilliant.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Plus 28. Now teddy.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39Plush teddy.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43He is in good condition. It is a good name, Merrythought.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Surely that is £20, isn't it? Lovely little bear.
