0:00:06 > 0:00:10Elementary, my dear bargain hunters.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the man behind the world's
0:00:13 > 0:00:18most famous fictional detective was born here.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21So where are we? Well, here is a clue.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29- HE CHUCKLES - Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:56 > 0:00:58Today, we are in Edinburgh.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02The precise location is the Highland Centre.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Each of our teams get £300
0:01:03 > 0:01:05and an hour to shop for three items,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08which hopefully they will make a profit on later at auction.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11So let's investigate what's coming up.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18On today's show, the Reds get dressed for success.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Would yous wear it, either of you?
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- Yes, I would.- With the right outfit.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Foxy black number for the weekend?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25As always(!)
0:01:27 > 0:01:30And it all gets a bit frantic for the Blues.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- I think it's that way. - That way. Which way?- Go this way.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37At the auction, the excitement is at fever pitch.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Yes! He's done it!
0:01:39 > 0:01:41That boy has done it again!
0:01:41 > 0:01:44And the profits keep mounting up.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46That's all for later.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49So, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Well, on today's show, we have a fabulous mother
0:01:51 > 0:01:55and daughter combo - Katrina and Kay.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And for the Blues, we have Elsbeth and Paula, who are friends.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- Hello, everyone.- ALL: Hello.- Now, Kay, it says here you are a vet.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05Yes, I am. I work at a small animal practice.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So pets that people tend to keep in their house,
0:02:08 > 0:02:12anything - cats and dogs to hamsters, rats, things like that.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14You had to spend years to qualify as a vet.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16They used to say that a vet is better qualified than
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- a doctor, is that true? - Oh, I don't know I could say that!
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- It does take a long time, though, doesn't it?- It is five years, yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24You spend five years at university before you graduate,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and then it is out into the big, wide world.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- What sort of occupation do you have? - Well, I'm a teacher.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33And I work with primary school-aged children.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36And I have been working with children from primary two,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39about the age of six, to primary seven, about the age of 12.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I really love teaching. It's a privilege to teach.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- Outside work, would you classify yourself as a wheeler dealer?- Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Especially when I have to get stuff for school,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I do a lot of begging for freebies for the classroom.- Oh, do you?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I have to do that, yes. I quite enjoy doing that, actually.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58How are you going to get on with this bargain hunting lark, you two?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I think we will do great because we kind of think the same way.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04- For most things. - Yeah, for most things.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Says the daughter quickly.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09But no, I think we'll agree on things.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- We've got an idea in our minds of what we want to look for.- Very good.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15Lovely. Well, good luck.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Now, Elsbeth, you have had a change of career recently.- I have, yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:24- Tell us about that.- I decided to go back university and study psychology.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27People fascinate me. I like to try to work out what makes them tick.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Do you?- I do, yes. - Well, we have only just met,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32so it would be unfair to put you on the spot.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34- I'll tell you later.- Oh!
0:03:34 > 0:03:36But you've had a variety of careers.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- Because you were a dancer at one point.- That's correct, yes.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43That is actually how Paula and I met. We were at ballet school together.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And we've known each other since we were 16,
0:03:46 > 0:03:47and we've been friends ever since.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50- And did you like each other?- No!
0:03:50 > 0:03:54- No, absolutely not.- Were you rivals? - Yes.- Yes, we were.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Rivals, the tutu wars! - That's it.- Yeah, that's it.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59So you did the ballet school bit,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01and then what happened? Did you stay dancing?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- I did. I danced professionally for about 12 years after that.- Did you?
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Yes. I worked with Bruce Forsyth and Ronnie Corbett, to name but a few.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Really?- Did a bit of variety stuff. And, yeah, it was all good fun.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13- Now, Paula.- Yes.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16- You went to do this dancing lark and then you went on to teach.- I did.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Tell us about that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well, I decided that I would go and teach abroad, just for fun.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23And I went to teach in Singapore.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25So I spent some time teaching there, which was great fun.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28The best job. And then my contract finished there.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30And I found myself teaching in Germany.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32And you've done a bit of cabin crew work.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, Elsbeth and I both did that.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Not together, but, yes, we both did that.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38She's been around, this girl, I'll tell you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Right, so, girls, what are your tactics?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Are you going to spend lots of dough?- I don't know.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45I'm going to try to spend as little as I possibly can.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- I'm going to bargain hard.- Are you?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Yes, Absolutely. - What are your tactics?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51My tactics are basically the same as Elsbeth's.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Are you hard at haggling and all? - Absolutely.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I used to live in the Far East. Haggled for everything.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57That's very true. Anyway, lovely, girls.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I think you're going to do very well. Let's have the money moment.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03300 smackers each. There is your £300. You know the rules.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Your experts await. And off you go! And very, very good luck.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Well, this is going to be a delight!
0:05:12 > 0:05:16So, all we need now are two delightful experts.
0:05:16 > 0:05:17Hoping to ring in the profits
0:05:17 > 0:05:19for the Reds, it's...
0:05:21 > 0:05:25And hoping to buy some cool bargains for the Blues, it's...
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Kay, Katrina, I am with a vet and the teacher.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32They say never work with animals or children,
0:05:32 > 0:05:35but if we do today, we're laughing!
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Is that going to flavour what we are going to buy?- Absolutely.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40I would be interested in anything, I think,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42that has animals or perhaps dogs in it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Something with a purpose as well.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46So, Elsbeth, Paula, what are you both looking for today?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I think we're going to look for pieces to put in somebody's
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- home, decorator's pieces. - Right, OK.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- And Mum?- Well, I like Art Nouveau and I like silver.- Yeah.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And anything that is practical.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57What about you?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I just feel, if I like something, if I get excited about it,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02then that is what we are going to buy.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Brilliant.- Stack 'em high, sell 'em cheap.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Teams, your time starts now. - BELL RINGS
0:06:07 > 0:06:09It's a shopping list, let's go! Come on.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Shall we go shopping? - Let's go shopping!- Come on!
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Which way are we going? Straight ahead, left, right?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Straight ahead.- Straight ahead. Look at that, decisive.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25It certainly pays to be decisive in this game.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27330...
0:06:27 > 0:06:30330. Your glasses are bringing the prices down.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32These are magic glasses.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35We could all do with a pair of those!
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Can I throw something at you?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- You can.- Throw this.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Practical and uncommon.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Pair of lamps. Ever seen lamps like that?
0:06:47 > 0:06:48- No.- Oh, wow.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It would be strictly inaccurate to say gimballed,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52but that is how they're referred to.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56There is a base, perfectly fine. What's all that about?
0:06:56 > 0:06:59I'm sitting there, in my little carriage, reading my book.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- They all want to go to bed.- Yes.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06- I take this, and I'm going to hang that next to my bed.- Right, wow!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Lamp's still the right way up.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Early 20th century.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Lyre form, that is the aesthetic.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17What is scarce about them - they're a pair.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- What do you think?- I love them.- I like them.- LOVE? As strong as that?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Oh, I think they are really interesting.- Yes, you're right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I like them as well. They're practical.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- We said we wanted something practical.- That's what I thought.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- They could still be used today, couldn't they?- Yes, absolutely.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Now, they are priced up at £395...
0:07:33 > 0:07:34No, they're not.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Calm down, Paul. The actual price is £95.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I adore period lighting. I think that is a gift.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43The truth of the matter is,
0:07:43 > 0:07:45under the hammer, it could be hitty, missy.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48OK. Shall we ask him what his very best is, then?
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Just do what you have got to do.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Vamoose. And good luck.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Whilst the Reds go off and negotiate a price,
0:07:54 > 0:07:58are the Blues about to take their first step on the buying ladder?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59Oh!
0:07:59 > 0:08:03I can see it is £100 that you've got on your label here.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Is there any come-and-go on that? - Go on, make me an offer.- 70?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Yeah, they are yours.- 70?- Yeah.- Oh, sorry. I really like those for £70.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- And what would you do with them? - I would have that as a bookcase.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15How clever!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18If somebody hasn't thought about having that as a bookcase
0:08:18 > 0:08:20and looks at it and says, "It is a set of steps."
0:08:20 > 0:08:23We'll get the chap to auction them as a bookcase.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Yeah, but it is not a bookcase, is it?- But it is.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- And there's nothing to stop the books falling off.- True.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Moving on... And have the Reds swung the price in their favour?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37- Hello.- We've spoken to the vendor, and they have said
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- £90 is the lowest they will go. - Oh, yikes!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45He said, if you wanted the shades as well, he'd put the shades in
0:08:45 > 0:08:47and the lamps for £100.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50But I'm not sure people would want those shades. What do you think?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53The shades make them good to go.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'll tell you this much, if they are the original shades -
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and I think they are - they are the first I've seen.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Maybe they're worth 75 each with the shades, think about it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06Maybe we should take a little risk. They are a bit big for the budget,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09but maybe we should just... You know?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Do you really like them? - I do like them.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12I think they're very interesting.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- It all works for me, it really does.- OK, let's do it.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Let's go and ask him.- Let's do it.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Go and seal the deal, Reds.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- It looks like the Blues aren't sitting around either.- Look at this.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26- What do you think?- I like that. - It's like a wee school chair!
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- It's your size!- I could sit on that.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31The grain is beautiful on it.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36- People buy these to put teddies and dolls on, don't they?- Yes, they do.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- That kind of stuff. - What would you do with it, Elsbeth?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Being odd and strange that I am,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- I would have a nice designer handbag sitting on that.- Oh, right.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49- Now, you collect handbags.- I do! - How many have you got?- Quite a few.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- At least 50.- 50?!- Yes.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Just another 49 chairs to find, then.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- I think we should maybe have a go for that, actually.- OK.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Speak to the gentleman, Paula, do your thing.- Hello.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03We were having a wee look at your chair down here.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08And we quite like it. You have got £25 on the ticket.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10What would the absolute death?
0:10:10 > 0:10:1218?
0:10:12 > 0:10:1418 would be really good.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- That would make our day, would you go for 18 for us?- Yes?
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Oh, that's great. £18.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I say! These two are good, aren't they?- Thank you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- What did you get it for?- 18. - Well done! Thank you, sir.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29That is the first item for the Blues.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Meanwhile, the Reds have some news on the lamps.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Are you smiling?- BOTH: Yes. - How much?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- 90.- 90.- Get in!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- You happy?- Yes, very.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Oh, I think...
0:10:41 > 0:10:45For a rare pair of lamps there... That has taken us, what, 15 minutes?
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- We are ahead of the schedule, are we not?- Yes.- Brilliant. Onwards, yeah?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Onwards.- Let's keep going. - Well done, Reds.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Now both teams are off the mark.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57But are the Blues scraping the barrel with their next item?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00What have you found?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- 1886. It is a customs measurement... - Oh!- It says bushel measure.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- Yes.- It is good, isn't it? - The patina is lovely on it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I like that. And what would you put in that?
0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Nice for a tree, nice for logs. - I think for logs.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14It would be great for logs.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19- How much is this?- The gentleman, very kindly... It was 120.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- He said he could do it for 80 for us. - It is a good price.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- OK.- I like it. - Shall we have a wee think?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You are getting a 150-year-old antique.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Absolutely, I do like it. - It is actually a real antique.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- A real antique?- Yeah. - That is what we are here for.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Now, will this bring in the bacon for our vet? Ha!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38That little pig drew my eye, certainly.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- What is it?- Old sewing items.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42What do you make of them?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Well... How much do we like them?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Are these expensive little piggies?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Yes, they are Georgian.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- I'm getting worried.- Anything Georgian is very expensive, you know.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58How expensive is expensive?
0:11:58 > 0:12:0065.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- That one is 85.- 65 and 85.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07If they were silver, there is a strong market for them.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08But they are brass.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11And small brass collectables aren't the easiest market.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Shall we trot on?
0:12:13 > 0:12:14Oh, Paul.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17On that note, let's take a break from the shopping.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21And I've found something that would appeal to the bag-loving Blues.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29How about this for a gorgeous object?
0:12:29 > 0:12:35We've all seen handbags, and there are old bags and new bags.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38And this is a bag with a difference.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41For a kick-off, the top frame is made of solid silver.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46This bar across the top has been beautifully embossed -
0:12:46 > 0:12:48it is called repousse work -
0:12:48 > 0:12:51with a series of domestic scenes,
0:12:51 > 0:12:53each within a cartouche,
0:12:53 > 0:12:58which is this shaped, shell-like structure.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Here, we have got a girl, look, brushing up in the yard.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Here, she is doing a bit of raking in the garden.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And on the far side, she is watering up a flowerpot.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15Because this thing was made at the time of tulip mania.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17This is the moment in the Low Countries,
0:13:17 > 0:13:21in the 1720s to 1750s,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25when the growing of bulbs was all the rage.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29But what I love about it is that instead of this thing being
0:13:29 > 0:13:33reupholstered, if you like, with a modern material,
0:13:33 > 0:13:38what we have is a pouch made of old blue velvet.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42And that blue velvet was then been embroidered with these
0:13:42 > 0:13:45extraordinary enzymoidal designs.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48If I turn the frame over, you can
0:13:48 > 0:13:51see the design is repeated exactly on the back.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54The date that you see on the top here is 1803.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57And if you look very carefully,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01the 1803 is made up of a series of dots, which you or I could
0:14:01 > 0:14:06engrave easily just with a sharp instrument onto the soft silver.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Either side of that are the initials SH.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16These simply indicate the person who owned this bag in 1803.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19They don't indicate when the bag was made.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22But the important part to decipher is actually
0:14:22 > 0:14:26the hallmark in the middle, which I have yet to research.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29There is an incredible spread of European history
0:14:29 > 0:14:31represented in this little bag.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Perhaps 250 years' worth.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37And yet, here it is -
0:14:37 > 0:14:40a Dutch bag, sitting in Scotland,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44priced up at £120.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Do the negotiation
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and it could be yours for £95.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53And that has to be a sure-fire profit in the old bag.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00Back to the shopping, and both teams have one item each in their bags.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Can we have a time check, please, Paul?
0:15:03 > 0:15:08We are 30 minutes into this. So we are still on schedule.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10But...we are not relaxed, are we?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- No, we're not.- Not at all. - We're machines. Let's go.- Yes.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18- You don't seem fazed, do you? - No.- We don't panic easily.
0:15:18 > 0:15:19We're not easily panicked.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22- We are both ex-airline staff, we don't panic.- Aaah!
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Let's hope that they are not winging it, then. Ha!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- I tell you what, I love that bowl. - So do I.- Really? Why?
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Because it actually reminds me of Clarice Cliff.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I know what you are saying.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38- Before we do anything, have a look at the price tag at the back.- 45.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41- Is it damaged in any way? - Yeah, that is what I wanted to see.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Um... No, you've got no issues there. It is all very traditional.
0:15:45 > 0:15:50So, with... I don't know, a shepherdess or a maid.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52There is your little flock of two...
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Well, I have chickens at home, so perfect.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58It doesn't look British, though. It looks like it has been made abroad.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- It does.- I tell you what I do know,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I love that. That is a standout thing.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Let's look at this again.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07That is less nice to look at.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Can you help us on the price? It's £45. We like it...
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- 35.- 35?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14It's going in the right direction.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- I think it's stopped.- Oh, has it?
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Come to a standstill.- Come to a standstill.- If we pushed...?
0:16:20 > 0:16:2232.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Yeah. You loved that straightaway. - £32, yes.- Shake that lady's hand.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:29Thank you.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31The Reds seem pleased with their second item.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36There's 15 minutes left and the Blues still have two items to find.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Look at this.- That's nice. Yeah, I like that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Oh, it has got...- It has got little feet on it. What price is it?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Don't look at that.- It's £90.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49This stoneware is usually sort of
0:16:49 > 0:16:52in flagons, you know, taller, for beer.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53To be honest, Caroline,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56we don't really want to spend much more than half of that.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Ah! Do you want to do that, then? - Yeah, fine.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Let's see what we can do.- Go and check.- Let's see what we can do.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03Sock it to them, Blues!
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Drive the price down. Meanwhile, what have the Reds spotted?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Tell me why you like this.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12I suppose it is that Art Deco period again.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16I think it is quite popular at the moment as well, isn't it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20You are selling it to me. The question is, what is it made of?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I thought marcasite and silver, that is what I'd like it be.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26But I'm not sure. I'm going to look at the chain. I don't think that is.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29I think that is probably nickel-plated base metal.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31My secondary question is, how old is it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Because the truth of the matter is... We want it to date to 1930.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Difficult to say. It really is difficult to say.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Do you think this has got age or not?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I think it is period, yes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- I'm hesitating.- Yes. What do you think?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- You are the expert.- Yes, Paul. - I am in a quandary.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50I don't have anything to go on.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53In the absence of marks, it is difficult to say.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Never mind that, it is a joy! Look at the quality!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- There is a lot of detail there. - It's intricate.- It's fine!
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Would yous wear it, either of you?
0:18:04 > 0:18:09- Yes, I would.- With the right outfit. - Foxy black number for the weekend?
0:18:09 > 0:18:10As always(!)
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- De rigueur, Friday night, it goes on!- Yes, all the time(!)
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- Paula, what news? - Well, it's a butter crock.- Right.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22And the lady wouldn't come down any more than 70.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Which I still think is too much. But...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28It has got Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow written on it, and we're
0:18:28 > 0:18:31selling in Glasgow, and somebody just might even remember...
0:18:31 > 0:18:33It's a great thing...in Glasgow.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37And as you say, it would be great in a kitchen, wouldn't it?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- We're running out of time. - We've got ten minutes left.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Honestly, we really need to... - We need to buy something.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- Let's just do it.- We're going to have it.- We are going to have this?
0:18:46 > 0:18:50- Yeah.- Are you sure?- Yeah.- Are you pos?- Positive.- Can I put it down?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Yes, you can.- Thank you!
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Finally, the Blues have their second item.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Now, teams, with less than ten minutes left,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01you'll need to ramp it up to find your third.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Do you think it will do well in the auction?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06I think that is going to make eyes at more than you and I.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I really do. I think it is an incredibly appealing thing.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Elegant, timeless.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15And I don't care whether you're 17 or 57, that is
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- a good-looking piece of jewellery. - Yes, you can wear that at any age.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- Yes?- Yeah.- And you are going to know that better than me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Being a girlie!
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I'm a bloke, what do I know?
0:19:26 > 0:19:29I'm going to bury myself here, start telling you...
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'll let you dig yourself out of that hole, then, Paul.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Getting the price down from £55 will be a good start.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- We could come down to 40. - Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42- Um...- 40.- It is not a lot of money, is it? It's not a lot of money.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45But if only it were a three at the beginning, to be honest with you.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48It is certainly worth £30 to £50.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It is make your mind up time, Reds.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Now, Blues, you better get your skates on.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Or at least your snowshoes.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56You can put these on the chalet in Aspen.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- You can put this on the wall. - My chalet? The one I forgot I had.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04- So, what price would you like them to be?- They can't be expensive.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I wouldn't have thought so, but I have no idea.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11This one looks like it has been put in the fire and taken out.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14I like them, but it might just be a wee bit too wacky.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Glasgow is wacky. Glasgow is good. - This one is also split.- Yeah.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Hi, can you tell me how these are? - They are 130.- 130, OK.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- That is too much, I suppose. - Too much, yeah.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28I have been advised by my budget controller that that is too much.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29OK, thank you anyway.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Another no-buy for the Blues.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You've not got all day, you know. Time is ticking.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37The same goes for you, Reds.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39I'm dithering.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43- Why?- What do you think?- I suppose I don't love it, love it, love it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Do you remember how we really liked the lamps and it was a,
0:20:46 > 0:20:47"Go for the lamps!"
0:20:47 > 0:20:50And the bowl caught our eye. But we are running out of time.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53We have only got two minutes... No, I'm kidding.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56SHE LAUGHS
0:20:56 > 0:20:58But it would focus the mind.
0:20:58 > 0:20:59Six minutes, actually, Paul.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02Let's twist your arm, go on. A three at the beginning of it.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04The owner said she is willing to come down to 38.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06But that is the bottom line.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- OK, I think so.- Fine.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Are we doing it?- Yes. - We are doing it.- Thank you, sir.
0:21:12 > 0:21:13- Thank you.- Spot on.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Well done, Reds, £38 for your third and final item.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So, Blues, do you have a plan?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21I think we should go look at the bushel measure
0:21:21 > 0:21:23and see if we can get it down any more.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- OK. No, it's not here! - If you can remember where it is.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- I think it is that way. - This way?- It's this way.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Have you seen it, Ted? Four-minute warning, Blues.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Gosh, does she know where she is going?- Probably not, no.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40It is certainly calmer in the Red camp.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I think you have gone out in some style there, have you not?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Can't wait for the auction.- Yes! - Let's go now, shall we?- Yes!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Tick-tock!
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Right, we are going to have to run. - It's here. It's here, guys.- Found it!
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Hi! We're back.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Hello.- Good to see yous.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Right.- We decided we do really like the bushel measure.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Nothing to do with running out of time, then, eh?
0:22:03 > 0:22:08I guarantee you a profit on this.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- OK.- If we spend how much money on it?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12If you spend...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Be really generous.
0:22:15 > 0:22:1775.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Would you do 70 and make our day?
0:22:19 > 0:22:2170 is a really good number. 70 is my lucky number.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I know, it is my unlucky number.
0:22:23 > 0:22:29- Because there is no profit in it for me, honestly. 73.- 73.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32Another hard haggle, ladies, and just in time.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34Yes! We've done it!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36HORN BLOWS
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Let's take this up cos time is up.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Gosh, that was hectic. Ah!
0:22:41 > 0:22:46- I'm perspiring just a little bit. At the last moment!- It's all done.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49We have done it. Excellent! Now, where is the exit?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- OK, Paula. BOTH:- The exits are here and here.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Shall we?- Yes, let's!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57And let's remind ourselves what the Red team brought.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You OK with that, Harriet? Oh, Harriet!
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Yes. First up, will the Reds light up the auction room
0:23:03 > 0:23:05with these table lamps?
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Next, check out this Czechoslovakian bowl.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18And finally, have they put their necks on the line
0:23:18 > 0:23:19with this necklace?
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Now, how much, girls, did you spend? - We spent £160.- £160.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30OK, I'd like £140 of leftover lolly, please.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- Yes, there you go.- Right.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Now, I'd like to know your favourite item. Kay, what was that?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39My favourite are the pair of lamps that we bought.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I think they're very interesting.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44They are a pair. They seem quite intact.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So I'm looking forward to seeing what they make at the auction.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- That's my favourite.- Aren't we all?
0:23:48 > 0:23:50So, Katrina, what is your favourite piece?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Well, my favourite piece is the bowl. It just grabbed my attention.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57It reminded me of Clarice Cliff, actually,
0:23:57 > 0:23:58the cottage on the side of the bowl.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00That is what drew my eyes towards it initially.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04Is your bowl going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06- Hopefully.- I think it might. - Do you think it will?
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- I think it will as well, actually. - It's interesting.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10- We are in agreement! - The mother and daughter
0:24:10 > 0:24:13are in agreement, there is another miracle.
0:24:13 > 0:24:16Anyway, the next miracle is that your £140 goes off to my friend.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- Got any ideas?- Well, Art Nouveau has come up a lot. As have animals.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25I am not good at taking instruction, so anything could happen.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28OK. Well, get into training, that's the answer. Right. Now,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31though, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34First up, our old school friends paid £18
0:24:34 > 0:24:36for this wooden school chair.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Up next, will this chemist's crock
0:24:41 > 0:24:43be the perfect remedy?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Then they rolled out £73
0:24:47 > 0:24:49for this oak measure.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Wasn't that lovely?- That was fantastic.- That was great fun.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- Really good fun.- How much did you spend?- We spent £161.- 161.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02So I would like £139 of leftover lolly. Thank you.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Which is it quite a sizable amount.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- It is.- Which is your favourite bit, Elsbeth?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09We bought a bushel measure.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12And I really like that, that was my favourite thing that we...
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- OK, personal favourite.- Yes. - What about you, Paula?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It's my favourite as well. I think that's the best thing we bought.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- OK. And will it bring the biggest profit?- BOTH: No, I don't think so.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- No.- What will?- That is the only problem with it.- Oh, I see.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25I think the little chair that we bought.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I think that would probably get us the biggest profit.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29We shall see, won't we?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31As long as you have had fun, that is the main part.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And the exciting time now for you, Caroline.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I know exactly what I am going to do with this.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- And that will make the biggest profit.- Oh!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- LAUGHING:- We watched your lips there, so watch out.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Anyway, good luck with your purchase, Caroline.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Meanwhile, we are going to head across Scotland.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52We are going to the Clyde to visit wee Anita.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Anita.- Welcome, Tim. It is lovely to have you here.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Now, for these Reds, we've got Katrina and Kay.
0:26:05 > 0:26:09And they, first of all, went with these rather splendid lamps.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14Yes, they're absolutely terrific. A multipurpose thing.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16But they have quality.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I love the gimballed mechanism, which is in perfect working order.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24And I love that lovely lyre shape support. Quality there.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27And because they have got quality and because you've got a pair and
0:26:27 > 0:26:30they are ready to go, presumably, they are worth quite a lot.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34- Are they?- I've estimated them £100 to £200.- Excellent!
0:26:34 > 0:26:35£90 is all they paid.
0:26:35 > 0:26:40Now, next is this Czechoslovakian enamelled globular vase.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42It's a lovely thing.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- It has a wonderful folk or naive charm.- Yes.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Probably from the Novy Bor school of glass.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54It has these sweet enamelled scenes. It has never had great quality.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59- No.- But it makes up for quality in having wonderful charm.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Is the estimate charming?- 50 to 80. - That is a charming estimate.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04£32 was paid.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I think you got a bargain there.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Now, lastly, we have got the pendant, which I have to say,
0:27:09 > 0:27:11is the least favourite bit for me.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14I have never been frightfully fond of marcasite jewellery.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Do you like it? - Yeah. Well, I do like it.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19I like the period. It is from the 1930s.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24And I think the pendant has wonderful architectural qualities.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28It reminds me of the Chrysler Building in New York.
0:27:28 > 0:27:34- Does it?- Yes.- She has got a very fertile imagination, our Anita.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- What is your estimate?- 60 to 100. - Is it? OK, great, £38 is paid.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43So there we have three excellent estimates, thank you very much.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45If you can achieve these sort of levels,
0:27:45 > 0:27:47this team will be jumping up and down with joy
0:27:47 > 0:27:49and they are not going to need their bonus buy.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53But let's go and have a look at it. Oh, yes.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Well, this is fun, isn't it?- Yes. - You spent, girls, £160.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00You gave Paul Laidlaw £140. Paul, what did you spend it on?
0:28:01 > 0:28:06- Wow.- This is a Victorian army officer's...
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Let's call it a little coatee, shall we? OK?
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Reminiscent of the heyday of Empire, yes?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16These are more exciting.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18They are, trust me, trust me!
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Trust me!
0:28:20 > 0:28:22The Army, of course,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25needs excellence in marksmanship and so on.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27And that is the collection of such badges.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30And it is the biggest collection of such badges
0:28:30 > 0:28:32I have seen in many a moon.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Am I selling it to you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37I'm on board, actually. I can see the importance of them.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I paid £110 for this assemblage.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42The truth of the matter is, that is
0:28:42 > 0:28:44worth £50 to £100 of anyone's money.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48These are worth £30 to £50 EACH.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- Wow.- Well, girls, you got the lowdown there, haven't you?
0:28:52 > 0:28:54You have got the prospect of a huge profit
0:28:54 > 0:28:57if it works out in the auction today.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59But right now, for the audience at home,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03let's find out what our auctioneer thinks about Paul's collection.
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Right, Anita. A little collection of those embroidered badges.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12And this bit of dress uniform.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14It looks absolutely fabulous.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18I like, in particular, these wonderful badges,
0:29:18 > 0:29:22which span late-19th, early-20th century. Rifle badges.
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- So whoever won all those must have been a great shot.- Exactly.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28The big question, really, for you, Anita,
0:29:28 > 0:29:32is how do you assess value on these objects?
0:29:32 > 0:29:37Well, looking at both of them, I would say, estimate 80 to 120.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Paul Laidlaw paid £110 and has great expectations.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Now, moving on to the Blues.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47Very straightforward is the kindergarten little chair.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49That takes you back, doesn't it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53It certainly does. I think it will hit the nostalgia market.
0:29:53 > 0:29:59Oak, it is perfectly well-made. It'll last for another 100 years.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- I think people will like it.- Yeah?
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- What is the estimate?- 25 to 40. - Great. £18 paid, so that is perfect.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10Moving on, then, is the stoneware chemist's crock.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Is that a crock for acid or mixing potions or what?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Well, Thomson, Skinner and Hamilton
0:30:16 > 0:30:19were laboratory furnishers
0:30:19 > 0:30:22in the late-19th, early-20th century.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26And what makes this a terrific thing is the fact that we have the
0:30:26 > 0:30:29address here. 38 Sauchiehall Street.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Sauchiehall Street was the most famous street -
0:30:32 > 0:30:36and is the most famous street - in Glasgow.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39I'm sure it has seen different uses throughout its life.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42It could have been used for butter or various different things,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44- but it is a great old thing. - So, how much?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- 80 to 120.- OK, £70 paid.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Moving on, we have got the coopered measure up at the end.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- What do you make of that, Anita? - I love coopered barrels.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55I think they are absolutely marvellous.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57I think of the, I would say,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00artistry that was used in making these.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01And I think possibly
0:31:01 > 0:31:05it would have been used as a measure at one point.
0:31:05 > 0:31:10- So what is your estimate on that? - 50 to 80.- OK, fine. £73 paid.
0:31:10 > 0:31:11- So that is in the frame.- Right.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13And, of course, they may need the bonus buy,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16so let's go and have a look at it.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Well, girls, this is exciting.
0:31:17 > 0:31:24It certainly is. £161 you spent. £139 went to the lovely Caroline.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29- Caroline, I know you love to spend the lot, so what did you buy?- I do.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I didn't spend a lot, but I spent it very wisely.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Woo! Woo-hoo!
0:31:34 > 0:31:36OK, it's a hat.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42It is a 19th-century smoking hat. Velvet, silk embroidery.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45They were absolutely all the rage.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Mid to late-Victorian. Really! What are you laughing at?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- They really were. - I believe you.- And you know?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55They're being made again for informal gentlemen's loungewear.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57They are fantastic.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59The original purpose was to protect
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- the hair from the smell of tobacco smoke.- Right.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04How much did you pay for it?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- This little baby, I paid £10 for it.- Excellent!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09OK, I think that is a good buy at that.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Let's find out for the audience
0:32:11 > 0:32:15at home what Anita Manning thinks about Caroline's smoking cap.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20OK, Anita, that, I think, is absolutely gorgeous.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24It is a great object. They were often called thinking caps.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27I think it is the sort of thing that a guy would stick on his head
0:32:27 > 0:32:31to get away from the party of ladies or whatever,
0:32:31 > 0:32:33go in and have a good think.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Would you wear one of those, Tim? - Uh... Not in public, Anita.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Only if I needed a good think.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- THEY LAUGH - Anyway, there we are.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45So, lovely Caroline has paid a mere £10 note for it,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- which I think is terribly cheap. What is your estimate?- 30 to 50.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Yeah, well, there you go.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53If there is any girl I know who will get us there, it is Anita.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56So thank you very much, Anita. We will stand by our beds.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- 100. - GAVEL BANGS
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- So, this is exciting, isn't it? - Yes.- Absolutely.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05When was the last time you went to an auction, Kay?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- Well, it has been a couple of months at least.- Has it?
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Well, you've got withdrawal symptoms, girl.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Anyway, your first item coming up is the lamps.
0:33:14 > 0:33:20Early 20th-century chrome ships lamps, perfect condition,
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- can we see 300?- We should do.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- 200.- Listen to her.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Start me at £100. £50, then.
0:33:28 > 0:33:3150 bid. 50 bid. Any advance on 50?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34With the gentleman at 50. 60. 70.
0:33:34 > 0:33:3680. 90.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Any advance on 90 for the pair of lamps?
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Any advance on £90? All done at £90? £90...
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Well, the predictions didn't come
0:33:45 > 0:33:47to pass. They wiped their face.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48£90.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50No profit, no loss - no pain, no shame.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54Lot 75 is this wonderful
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Bohemian glass bowl.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58A quite beautiful little lot.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Start me at £20. £20.
0:34:01 > 0:34:0420 bid. Any advance on 20?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07It is from the 1930s and it is a beautiful little lot.
0:34:07 > 0:34:0820. 30.
0:34:08 > 0:34:1140. 50. 60.
0:34:11 > 0:34:1370.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14£70.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19All done at £70? £70...
0:34:19 > 0:34:21- Thank you, sir. - You have made £38, just like that.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24That and a wiped face, no shame.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25Now, your pendant necklace.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29You watch her make £120 on this and I will feel really stupid.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31100. 80.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Start me at £50.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3750 bid. 50 bid. 50 bid. 50.
0:34:37 > 0:34:4060. 70. 80. 90.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- £90.- I'm feeling stupid.- 100. 110.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- 120.- I am stupid.- 130. 140.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49150. 150 with you, madam.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52150. A woman has style over there.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55At £150...
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Any advance on 150? All done at 150?
0:34:59 > 0:35:00150...
0:35:00 > 0:35:01150.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04That is £112, kids.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Plus 112.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10Now, this means you are plus £150, just like that.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12£150.
0:35:12 > 0:35:13- Phenomenal?- Excellent.- Phenomenal?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- Are you pleased?- Fabulous. - Speechless.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Do you know, with the necklace, I kept thinking,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20"I'm not happy about that necklace." I went around to all those shops...
0:35:20 > 0:35:22I haven't been happy about that necklace,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25but it just shows what we know about it, or what I know about it.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Anyway, what are you going to do?
0:35:27 > 0:35:31There is £110 out there invested in that regimental lark.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- We have been arguing about this. - What are you going to do?
0:35:34 > 0:35:39- I want to stick cos we've got 150 profit.- I want to go for it.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41- I trust in Paul. What are we going to do?- I don't know.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Well, this is the tough one, because you can't ask him
0:35:44 > 0:35:45and you can't ask me.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- What have we got to lose?- 150.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Are you going to change your mind, Mum?
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Kay wants to do it, let her do it.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54This is such a lovely mother, I tell you.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57She doesn't really want to do it, not in her heart of hearts,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59but she is going to do it for her kid.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01I love a punter, and here it comes.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04I have bids on the books, ladies and gentlemen.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06And I can start the bidding
0:36:06 > 0:36:08at £200.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10Yes! He's done it!
0:36:10 > 0:36:12That boy has done it again!
0:36:12 > 0:36:13He's done it!
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Any advance on 200?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Any advance...? 220 on the net.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- 240 on the floor.- 240?!
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- I don't believe it! - 240. 250 on the net.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Look at this!
0:36:24 > 0:36:25Hush up, kids, look!
0:36:25 > 0:36:28260. On the floor at 260.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31280 on the net. 280.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Bidding, sir? 290. 320.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36350. The net is battling it out.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37350 now?!
0:36:37 > 0:36:39I am stunned!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- £350.- This is the dogs, I tell you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- 400 on the net!- 400!
0:36:44 > 0:36:46WIDESPREAD MURMURS AND GASPS
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Dear, oh, dear, oh, dear!
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Any advance on 400?
0:36:51 > 0:36:52Ha-ha!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Any advance on 400?- 400 smackers...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57400...
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- APPLAUSE - Woo! A round of applause for Paul!
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Hail to Paul! Hail to Paul!
0:37:04 > 0:37:06That is plus £440.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Have you ever seen anything so phenomenal?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11No! I'm really glad we did that!
0:37:11 > 0:37:12I know, because we kept arguing about it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15You did. You really weren't going to do it.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- And how would you feel if £290 had not come your way?- Not great.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21My daughter wouldn't forgive me.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24Kay, plus £440. Don't tell the Blues anything.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- I won't tell the Blues anything.- No. - Not a word.- Not a word.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Just settle down, have a small gin and tonic
0:37:29 > 0:37:31and we'll all get together in a minute.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41So, kids, we are on the edge.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Yep.- You have not been to an auction before.- I haven't.
0:37:43 > 0:37:44This is your first.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Let us hope that that it's going to be your most successful.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48Because here we go.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53This is not a naughty stool, ladies and gentlemen.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57It is a lovely little vintage child's wooden school chair.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00It is in oak. It is beautifully made.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Can we say 50?
0:38:03 > 0:38:07£50 for the wee school chair. 40.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Start me at £20.
0:38:10 > 0:38:1320 bid. Any advance on 20?
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Where are we? 30. 40.
0:38:16 > 0:38:1850. 60.
0:38:18 > 0:38:19Are you out, sir?
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Yeah. 60.- £60?!
0:38:21 > 0:38:24With the good-looking guy at £60.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26Any advance on 60?
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- You are both good looking.- £60...
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Any advance on £60? All done at £60?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Yes! That's brilliant. Plus £42.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38That is £42 of profit.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Wow.
