0:00:04 > 0:00:08We've come to beautiful Builth Wells, in the heart of Powys.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11So what are we here for? Well, to take a shufty round
0:00:11 > 0:00:16the International Antiques Fair of Wales, over that bridge.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19So, let's go Bargain Hunting! Yeah.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50On a normal day,
0:00:50 > 0:00:55you might come here to the Royal Welsh Showground to buy some sheep,
0:00:55 > 0:00:56or sell a tractor.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59But it is a different type of buying
0:00:59 > 0:01:01and selling that we are going to do today.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Let's take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09On today's show, the Reds are being kept on a tight leash.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I know exactly where we are going with this one, Phil.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Phil, don't be so silly. Phil.- Oi!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The Blues are all at sea.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21- I've no idea what you're looking at. - Phil is feeling the pressure.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23All I've had all afternoon is, "Oi, Phil, get on with it!"
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Frightened me to death, I'm off.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27But who will come out on top at the auction?
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- It's all...- All right.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Oh, come on.- Come on. - Come on, come on.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36That's all for later, but first let's meet today's teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43For the Reds, we have a married couple, Phil and Alison.
0:01:43 > 0:01:47And for the Blues, a recently engaged couple, Kelly and Alex.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50- Hello, everyone.- Hello.- Hello. - Lovely to see you.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Now, Phil, how did you and Alison hook up?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58- We met in a pub in Monmouth on Christmas Eve.- Did you?
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Quite a good Christmas present for you, then, wasn't it?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Yes, I've never looked back. - TIM LAUGHS
0:02:03 > 0:02:05And what about your first date?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Yes, I still get the mickey taken out of me for this.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I decided, in my wisdom, to take Alison to one of my passions,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15which is playing fruit machines and penny pushers.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So I took her to the amusement arcade.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Being a little bit scared, I thought I'd better take my friend as well.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- So there was three of us.- He's lucky we made it to a second date.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Exactly right.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Well, you clearly got some winnings, and everything worked out all right.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31So what do you do for a living, Alison?
0:02:31 > 0:02:34We work together, we've worked together at home for the last 11 years.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38We've got a promotional gift company that does calendars
0:02:38 > 0:02:40and merchandising, and we've just...
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I've gone back to my roots and set up a travel agency as well.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Oh, really?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Your calendar business, is this like those WI calendars...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Some of them are.- ..take all their kit off.- Yes, we do have some of those.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- A lot of rugby calendars. - Oh, do you?
0:02:52 > 0:02:57- Are you able to censor them, what people want to make...?- We just laugh.- Oh, you just laugh.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59I mean, you can't censor them, they are paying you to publish them.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- And they like it.- They do. - You go, "Oh, that's not good."
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You try and advise, shall I say?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Yes, wicked, isn't it?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- Now, do you know anything about antiques, you two?- Very little.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12We have very little experience.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, I think you will probably do very well on Bargain Hunt.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- We don't agree on anything. - You don't agree on anything?- No.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- We like totally different things. - This is going to be fun.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Anyway, good luck.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Right, now, you're recently engaged, Kelly.- We are, yes.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Congratulations on that.- Thank you very much.- So where did you meet?
0:03:29 > 0:03:31We met at South Staffordshire College.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33We were on an agriculture course.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- So farming is a huge part of your life, is it?- Yes, definitely.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39The farm originated from my great grandfather,
0:03:39 > 0:03:42and it means a lot to me, not just as a home a and work style,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- but... all their blood, sweat and tears went into it.- Yes.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- I hope to carry that on. - Makes it pretty special.- Yes.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- I want to pass it down... - What sort of a farm is it?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54It is a sheep and arable farm.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- Alex, what is it you like about being a farmer?- Being a farmer...
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, it's just being outside all the time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02I mean, you're with nature and you've got the fresh air,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- it keeps you going, really. - So what do you like most?
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Do you like the animals or do you like the machines?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Well, I like a bit of both. Mostly machinery.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I've got most of the toys and the models and everything.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Tell us about these toys, then.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I was five when my parents bought me my first model tractor,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22and I've carried on since. And I've got about 105 in total.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- Have you really?- Yes, and still collecting. I bought five last week.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Did you? Wow. What are you going to do, Kelly, about getting him
0:04:29 > 0:04:32under control? This man of yours.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- I can't really say anything, because I love them.- Do you? - He buys me a few.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37Well, there you are.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I think you're going to have a marriage made in heaven.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Absolutely marvellous.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45So, what about antiques, though? Do you know anything about antiques between you?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Grandma collects Royal Crown Derby paperweights,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52- and I've just started, but with sheep related things.- OK.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56So, basically, anything could happen with our £300,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59because this is the £300 moment. There's your £300, Phil.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Thank you, Kelly.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You know the rules, your experts await, and off you go,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Well, two teams of novices.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Let's plough on and meet today's experts.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17Trying to stay in tune for the Reds, it's Phil Serrell.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21And for the Blues, it's the man in the mirror, Ben Cooper.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24What do you have in mind today? What do you want to buy, do you think?
0:05:24 > 0:05:28- Ideally, farming memorabilia. - Have you got a plan?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31- Not exactly, but we are keen to take your advice.- Really?
0:05:31 > 0:05:35It would be tractors as well, and then a couple of cows.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39- Got to have some cows.- I don't want to buy any china ornaments.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43- No chintzy bits and bobs?- No. - You're not a knick-knack lady.- No.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Watch out, teams! Your time starts now.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- BELL RINGS - Let's head off and see what we can find. Come on, guys.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51Come on, let's go.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57You'll probably recognise some of the slightly more peculiar
0:05:57 > 0:06:02farming implements more easily than I will. That's nice, isn't it?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05- Do you like that?- I like that. - What would be the main use of that?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- Is it just storage? - Well, that's an elm.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Yeah.- You can tell it is elm from the grain of the wood.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14It's just a nice box. It is Georgian, 1810, 1820.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- And it...- Shall I open it?- No.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Lordy, this could be interesting. - It is quite nice.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Because they often used to put candle boxes in there.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Because the candle wax used to keep out moths from clothes.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- So that is like an ottoman, isn't it?- Yes, yes.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I fear it might have woodworm.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Yeah, but it's OK, that. That at auction is going to make 120 to 180.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- What would be the best you could do on that, please?- 225.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- We are about £100 adrift, actually. - Oh, dear.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- ALISON:- What's that?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- You like this, do you? - I do.- Why do you like that?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Because it is interesting. And it is useful.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- Why is it useful?- Well, it is a table.- She's sharp, isn't she, Phil?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It is a table, yes. It's not an ornament.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- How much is that, please?- 125.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I think, at auction, that is going to make £60-£90,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08which means we've got to try and buy it for 50, 60 quid if we can.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Yeah.- We haven't bought anything yet. Could we buy that for 50 quid?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15- Oh!- You don't want to take that home. Look at the weight of it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I tell you what, he's got every sales trick in the book here.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- She said 75.- 75.- I didn't hear a word then.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- 75.- What do you think?
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Can we just keep looking for a moment?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Could you keep it for us for about an hour?- Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32Can't guarantee we'll have it. If we came back, would 65 be any good?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35I think 75 it would have to be, I'm afraid.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37- ALISON:- We'll come back in an hour.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Move on then, Reds, there's plenty of ground to cover.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45Now, the Blues said they wanted something agricultural.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- That's so cute.- It is a child's toy, obviously.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53Has it got any maker on it? There we go. That's a really good name. Tri-ang.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56One of the top toy makers of the 20th century.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59These were made in big numbers, as with all toys.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02This one is made out of steel or iron.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03We can see it is rusting through.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07But actually it is in very good nick. What do you think?
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- Really like it.- Should we ask the gentleman how much he's got on it and see what we can get it for?
0:08:11 > 0:08:14- Yes, hopefully.- Right, so who is going to go do the asking?- I'll go.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Whilst Kelly finds out the price,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20the Reds are still deliberating over the marble table.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23My bottom, bottom price would be 70.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- ALISON:- Done. - STALLHOLDER:- Done?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26- ALISON:- Done.- She'll have it.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Where did that come from? I know who the gaffer is in this
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- relationship, let me tell you.- Done.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33Hang on, you said that without moving your lips then. What happened?
0:08:33 > 0:08:37One minute we're going to have a walk around for an hour, the next we're buying it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I like this lady, she's nice. And I like the table.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Alison certainly knows her own mind.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Do you know... Do you ever have that feeling in life
0:08:44 > 0:08:47when you're totally superfluous?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- Daily?- Kind of, yes. - OK. Right, let's...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55She said, "Phil, we're having it."
0:08:55 > 0:08:58So, has she been like this for a long time?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That's the first item for the Reds. Well done, chaps.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- So what are we going to look for now?- Go on, Phil, you choose.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Something different. - Something different. - Certainly not another table.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- Something collectable and something totally different.- Not ornaments?
0:09:13 > 0:09:14No, got to be useful still.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17I think we know who the gaffer is in this relationship, don't we?
0:09:17 > 0:09:21We certainly do. So, do the Blues have a price for the tractor?
0:09:21 > 0:09:22Right, Kelly, what did the gent say?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- The dealer wanted 350, but the lowest he could do was 320.- Oh, no.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Well, as we only have 300 quid, I think we are
0:09:29 > 0:09:33going to have to look elsewhere, which is a pity. Right.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Let's see what else we can find. Let's head on.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So, a large price tag for the small tractor.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40How are we doing for time, Ben?
0:09:40 > 0:09:43So, we've only spent about ten minutes so far,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46so we're not in any shortage of time yet.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49It is quite good to manage to buy something every 20 minutes,
0:09:49 > 0:09:51and that fits on our... Bleh!
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- Our hour nicely. - Put your teeth back in, Ben.
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Do you like those?
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Do you know what I have learned, Phil? When she doesn't say much... - It means no.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It means she is not really very impressed, isn't it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- OK, I know my place.- Look at that wooden sewing machine thing!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09No, she hasn't said anything. No.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- I know exactly where we're going with this one.- Let's have a look. - Phil, don't be so silly.- Don't.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- Phil!- Phil! Oi!- Listen.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- Sold, it is.- I'm not married to her and I've learnt.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- Plenty of training for Mrs Serrell, eh, Phil?- Anything round here?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Is that an old shearing machine? - An old...?- Shearing machine there.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- There's a chair in there and it's just behind.- You better show me.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34I have no idea what you're looking at.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36You can guarantee it is farming related.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm pretty sure it is.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Let's have a look.- It's missing the head, but... That.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Let's see on top.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46There we go. A sheep shearing machine.
0:10:46 > 0:10:51- You're right.- Yes!- Obviously this is your farming and sheepy heritage.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Right, now, I have to admit,
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I have never, ever in my life owned,
0:10:57 > 0:11:00sold, bought a shearing machine.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Is it complete?
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- It is missing the head.- It is missing just the head on it.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Yes, the shearing part.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Well, before we go any further, should we
0:11:09 > 0:11:10ask the gentleman how much it is?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14And then we can see, but I think this... I think it is good.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16It is covering farming, it is covering quirk
0:11:16 > 0:11:19and it's got a bit of rust. Have we got all the bits?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21- STALLHOLDER:- The other bits are...
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- How much have you got on it? - £65.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- 65.- 65.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Do you reckon you can do any better on that for us?
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- The best would be 50 on it.- 50.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I think so. Do you think so, Kelly?
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- I do like it.- I have no idea whether it is going to make a profit.
0:11:37 > 0:11:42But I just think it is great. It is all there. I think.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Yeah.- Yeah? Great.- I think so.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I'd shake your hand, but I've got a very rusty one.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- THEY LAUGH - Thank you. Let's go.
0:11:49 > 0:11:50That the first item for the Blues,
0:11:50 > 0:11:55and they've shaved a bit off the price too. Well done.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56- How about that fella?- Oh, no.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Actually, Ali, I can just see where you're coming from now.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Do you let him out much?- Phil.- Would you just stop calling him that,
0:12:04 > 0:12:09- please?- Don't touch! - Frightens me to death, it does.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12What about those sort of chess pieces?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Yeah, anyway, you were saying?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- See, he needs to be under lock and key.- I feel for you, Phil.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21But it's true what they say, opposites do attract.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24So, is there anything else catching your eye?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- There are some feed scales over there.- Let's have a look.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32Well, it looks like it is all here, and we've got the bucket,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34or whatever you call these things.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38You're stretching all of my, you know, knowledge of these things.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40I haven't actually got a farm, sadly.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Right, but we've got weights alongside.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45And what do you reckon?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- You're still using them?- Yes. They are useful and they are tidy.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50They've got the weights with them.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52And the one thing which it might mean is there's still
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- an awful lot around.- Yeah.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57How much are on your scales?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- 35.- 35.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- Really wanted about 20 or something. - Is that your best price at all?
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- STALLHOLDER:- 25 to you and that is it.
0:13:07 > 0:13:13- 25. 25. I think that is being very generous from the gent.- Yes.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Oh, yes.- Should we go with that? - Yes.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, it looks like we've got two down. Right, come on, guys. Lead the way.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Well done, Blues,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23you've tipped the balance in your favour with 20 minutes on the clock.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Have the Reds also found something practical?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29How much is the cupboard, please?
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- 115.- 115.- Can you open the doors or not?
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- One door is not opening. - One door doesn't open.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Yes, I haven't got a key.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- Oh, I see. Yeah, OK. - Do either of you like it?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I think it is something somebody would bid for.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I mean, if we could get that for...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- 80.- 50.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55I tell you what, he's obsessed with 50.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57I can see why you do the negotiations now.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00What's the real best you could do that for?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02105, really.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06We think it might auction for 100, so we would need to get it for less.
0:14:06 > 0:14:0995, then. Just to get it under 100.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I think it is a fairly safe one that we could come back
0:14:12 > 0:14:13and we'd be fairly happy with.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But leave it half an hour, let's have a look around, come back.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Yeah.- Could be risky to leave it.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Right, we're halfway through, so let's take a break from the
0:14:21 > 0:14:25shopping, and could this find be just what the doctor ordered?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Life was so much better in the old days, people say.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, life might have been better in the old days,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43IF you were in fine health. And if you weren't,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47life could potentially be absolutely hellish.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50A reminder of early medicines,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53though, is contained in this little pot,
0:14:53 > 0:14:57which I've discovered here in Builth Wells.
0:14:57 > 0:15:02This is an incredibly crudely made piece of ceramic.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05It is lead glazed and it's got a bit of script on it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07And the script tells the story.
0:15:07 > 0:15:12It says, "Prepared only by Beach & Barnicott."
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Don't you love the name
0:15:14 > 0:15:19Beach & Barnicott? "Successors to the late Dr Roberts, Bridport."
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Now, Dr Roberts was a celebrated doctor
0:15:22 > 0:15:26and pharmacist from Bridport in Dorset.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31He was in practice there from about 1770, 1780,
0:15:31 > 0:15:37until 1834, which is when Beach & Barnicott took over his business.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Now, this pot is of a particular shape,
0:15:40 > 0:15:46because inside it's to take a salve, or cream.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48And because they didn't have screw tops, you had a piece
0:15:48 > 0:15:52of grease-proof paper that went over the pot, and it's got that little lip.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54So you put the grease-proof paper over the top
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and then tied that round with a piece of string.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59And the string wouldn't slip off because you've got that ridge
0:15:59 > 0:16:01to stop it slipping.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06And in this particular pot, Roberts had prepared one of his
0:16:06 > 0:16:10special mixtures, which is called Poor Man's Friend.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15And the price is one shilling, one-and-a-half old pennies,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19which is about 6p in today's money.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22This is an apothecary's pot with a bit of history.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27And of course, there are collectors of apothecary's pots out there.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30They love anything to do with early medicines,
0:16:30 > 0:16:33and this one is a particularly fine example.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38You can date the pots by the style and nature of the script.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43If you look carefully, that D isn't solid blue, it is made up
0:16:43 > 0:16:48of two thin, blue lines, with a gap in between called a hollow capital.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51And the hollow capitals date to the early period,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55so maybe around 1835-40,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58which makes this pot particularly desirable.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01What would it make in an apothecaries sale?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Probably between £200 and £300.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Look on the underside for the price in Builth Wells,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and it could be yours for £30.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Now, that's worthwhile getting into a rash about!
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Back to the shopping and the Blues have two items in the bag.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28A sheep shearing machine, ha! And some iron scales.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Meanwhile, the Reds have bought a marble table
0:17:31 > 0:17:35and deliberated over a cupboard. So, Blues, what's next?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- They look the part.- They do, they've been painted, haven't they?
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Yes, they've been recently painted. Obviously it's all gone a bit...
0:17:42 > 0:17:44But they certainly are original.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Next thing we better do is ask how much they are...- Yes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50..because they could well be way out of our budget.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54- But... They are probably very, very heavy as well.- Yes.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Excuse me, could you tell us how much you've got on these?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- Certainly, young man. They are 150 for the pair.- 150 for the pair?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- 150 for the pair. - That's actually not too bad.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I thought they were going to be sort of way out of our...
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Would you knock a tenner off at all?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I could tease it a little bit for you, yes.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- Come down- £10. 140.- 140.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- I think they are delightful. - How are you feeling?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Didn't really want to spend overly...
0:18:19 > 0:18:23- You're feeling they are a bit expensive at the moment?- Yeah, for what we were looking for.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- What we'll do, we can bear them in mind... - Yes, keep them for another time.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30..and we might find ourselves going round. Then we can come back and see what we've got.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Keep rolling on then, Blues.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35- I like that over there. - So what have the Reds spotted?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38I'm not sure what it actually is.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- It just caught my eye. - How many people do you think will bid for that at auction, though?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- That's what you've got to think. - Well, let's find out.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I can understand a certain charm with it
0:18:47 > 0:18:52because I think that people who collect costume dress, you know,
0:18:52 > 0:18:5519th-century Victorian sort of children's nightdresses,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58all that sort of stuff. I can sort of see that having a value.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- How much is it, please? - It's rock bottom depth would be 45.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- You really like it?- I do. I do.- We could be headless if we buy that...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Just have a look and see what else is just in this stall before...
0:19:10 > 0:19:13What about these two candlesticks behind you, Ali?
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- No!- Oh...
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- No. Put it down.- Part silver.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20You have to understand that you and I
0:19:20 > 0:19:25are bit part cameo players in the Ali Bargain Hunt.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Are you saying she's got the brains and we've got the looks?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- Well, actually, I wasn't saying... - THEY LAUGH
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Now you come to mention it, I wasn't going to say that at all.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35I was thinking she's properly got both of them.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- You and I are just here to mop up, really.- Did he say 45, did he?- Yes.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It is a difficult thing to value as well.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45If it was a silver candlestick or a watch or something, you could almost...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49You could almost really nail the price, couldn't you? But that...
0:19:49 > 0:19:51And do you know what?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- That's the reason for buying it. - Yeah.- Because if you put it into auction,
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- and you've got something that everybody can reckon the price of... - Yeah.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Actually, you've just shot yourself completely in the foot, my friend.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05- Come on, let's have it. - We're having it.- That's it.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09That's it, decision made. Second item for the Reds.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- Now, what's next for our young farmers?- Tractors. - Tractor seats here.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Oh!- That's more like it, isn't it? - Yes.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Now, with tractor seats, there are some which were produced
0:20:20 > 0:20:24in massive numbers, particularly for the Fergusons and things like that. And they were also...
0:20:24 > 0:20:27They go right back, much earlier on, on to steam wagons as well.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29But they carried on producing, producing them.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33And if we look down here, this is a really nice, decorative one.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35There we go, Blackstone.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Blackstone & Co Ltd, from Stamford.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Not exactly the most comfortable one to have a nice crest there.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44So, yes, you might have to sit a little side-saddle.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47But it is a really good, decorative tractor seat.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51Obviously it was painted. It was red at some point.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Do you have any idea of what kind of tractor this might have
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- come off, then? - I don't think it was off a tractor.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I've got a feeling it was off of a hay rake.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I've seen this over here, which would be the footstall for it.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06- Its footplate for it? - Yes. And it says on here, "Blackstone manual rake."
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- That's rather good, isn't it?- Yes.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10You know, I think what we could do,
0:21:10 > 0:21:13we can certainly ask a best price on this one,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- see how friendly he can be for us. - Yeah.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18What do you reckon on that? And I think the others.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22They are the normal sort of tractor seat, they're just all the different makes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25But this is something different. And it is very decorative.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28You know, it will go into an auction right up in Shropshire.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- So it is, again, a rural part of the world.- Yes.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- More their kind of county.- Yes. Well, it is your county, isn't it?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- It is.- There we go.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- Right, so let's ask the gent and see what he can do on that one.- Righto.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40Righto.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Well, the Blues seem inspired. How about the Reds?
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Have you seen anything else at all that you like?- No.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Not that it matters, but I just thought I'd ask you,
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- just for lip service, really. - ALISON LAUGHS
0:21:53 > 0:21:57The cupboard has got the lock broken.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- That doesn't matter!- I don't think that will be a major problem.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03If you had been around that long, your lock would be broken.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Is he a born worrier?- Yes. - Worries about everything?- Yes.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I said we'd never get round in an hour and buy three things.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12You have actually done very well, then.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- We have done really well.- Let's go have a look at the cupboard, then.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Well, you're not home and dry just yet.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21You still need to buy your third item. Ten minutes left.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25So, Blues, what's the price of the hay rake seat?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- I could do that for 60.- 60?- Yes.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31That's a good price.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- Because they are quite rare. - Yeah. How do you feel then, guys? - I think good, yes.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- What do you think, Kelly? - Got about ten minutes to go,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40and it will take us about that to get back to those wheels.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- So, what do you reckon?- Yeah. - Are you going to go for it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- Are you going to shake the man's hand?- Yes, I will.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- Thanks very much.- Well done, Blues, that's your final item.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54So we've bought all our three items. All suitably rusty, suitably farmy,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- suitably sheepy, suitably uncomfortable.- Oh, yes.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- Are you happy?- Oh, yes. - You should be.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04That's all three items in the old bag with ten minutes to spare.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So, Reds, it's over to you. Have you changed your mind?
0:23:07 > 0:23:09This doesn't look much like a cupboard.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12What's the first thing that sort of springs to mind about that?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- It has been recovered. Do you think? - I think there's been a hole in the seat,
0:23:15 > 0:23:19and someone has put that on there. I mean, it kind of works.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Yeah.- But that's all been replaced, that's what I think.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24How much is it?
0:23:24 > 0:23:28Has it got a price on? How much is that, please?
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- STALLHOLDER:- 55 on it. - ALISON:- 55.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- What about that over there?- That fire screen? I wouldn't buy that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Do you know why I wouldn't buy that? - Why?- Peacock. Unlucky bird.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38It is an unlucky bird.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41The peacock feathers are meant to represent the Devil's eye.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Right. And if you have that in the house, brings you all sorts of bad luck.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Really? Oh, Lordy.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Let's go buy a cupboard.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55The good news is, it's still there.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- Yeah.- Which is a bit of a bonus, really.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Five minutes.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02- Go speak to the man, then.- OK.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- Yes, we've come back to the cupboard to buy our last item.- OK.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13We think it might raise £100 at auction, so the 95...
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Is there anything? Could I do 80 or...?- No.- Our last item.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22I can go to £90 for you. That would be it, really.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- Go on 90, we are running out of time.- £90.- ALISON:- Thank you.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- STALLHOLDER:- Thank you very much.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- And that's mission accomplished. - Hurray, we've got a cupboard. - Hurray!
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Well done, Reds.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Right, that's it, time's up.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39I think it went really well, because I bought...
0:24:39 > 0:24:42We've bought three things that I would have in my house. Our house.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, eh?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50First up, they laid out their stall and bought
0:24:50 > 0:24:53this marble table for £70.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Next up is this modern mannequin dressed for success
0:24:57 > 0:25:00in a Georgian jacket and breeches. £45 paid.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04And finally, they closed the doors on their shopping with
0:25:04 > 0:25:08this 19th-century cupboard and paid £90.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Well, talk about last-minute harries! That was something else, wasn't it?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15It went to the wire, that's for sure.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17So, tell me, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20My favourite is the outdoor table. Um...
0:25:20 > 0:25:24Possibly made from an old sewing machine with a marble top.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- That's a good one.- Yeah? Do you agree with that?- No.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I like the tailor's dummy with the clothing on.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33- OK. Is that going to bring the biggest profit?- I reckon so, yes. - You reckon?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34- Yes.- Do you agree with the wife?
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- I think the little tailor's dummy is a gamble.- Do you?
0:25:38 > 0:25:39It is quite exciting.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Because that's the one that could either totally bomb,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- or it could, you know, could give us a few readies.- Yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48How much did you spend in total?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Two...- 205.- 205.- 205.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Please may have £95 of leftover lolly? Thank you very much.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58£95, Philip, coming your way. Without more ado, really.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00All I've had all afternoon is, "Oi, Phil, get on with it!"
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Frightened me to death, I'm off. - And he's off!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Anyway, go and relax up with a nice cup of tea, because right now
0:26:06 > 0:26:09we're going to check out what the Blue team bought, aren't we?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Our farmers got right down to business
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and bought this 1920s sheep shearing machine
0:26:14 > 0:26:16for £50. Handy.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Next, they weighed in with these scales
0:26:19 > 0:26:23and used up £25 of their remaining balance.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28And finally, will they have a bumper harvest with this hay rake seat?
0:26:28 > 0:26:31£60 paid. Well, I never did!
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Well, that looked like fun. Was it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- It was absolutely brilliant.- Good for you, Kelly?- Yes, very good fun.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39- Which is your favourite piece, darling?- It's got to be the shearing machine.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40- The shearing machine.- Yes.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Can't take the farmer out of the girl, can you? What about you?
0:26:44 > 0:26:46I have to agree with Kelly as well, I think
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- that's quite a pretty decent machine.- Yes, OK, for favourites.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- And is it going to bring the biggest profit?- We hope so.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54What else might bring the biggest profit,
0:26:54 > 0:26:58- if it wasn't the shearing machine? - The scales.- I think the scales, yes.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- OK. And you spent how much?- £135.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05I would like £165 of leftover lolly, please. Thank you.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09We'll trust you, we won't count it, we'll pass it straight over to Benbo.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Thank you.- What are you going to spend all that lot on, Ben?
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Well, I think I might move away from rust
0:27:14 > 0:27:17and find something which might even be wooden.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19- Really?- Yes,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- Might it be old? It will be old. Maybe antique.- Yes.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Um, but I haven't decided yet what. So we will find out.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26You are such a tease.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Anyway, good luck with whatever your quest and wherever it may take you.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33But buck up, because shortly, we'll be heading off to Shrewsbury,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36to the auction. Thank you very much.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47Well, how lovely is this? Shrewsbury, Halls saleroom
0:27:47 > 0:27:50and Jeremy Lamond. A great trio. How are you, J?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- Welcome, Tim, nice to see you. - Very nice to see you, too.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58First off is the Gothic revival cast-iron table,
0:27:58 > 0:28:01which looks slightly like one of those Singer sewing machine
0:28:01 > 0:28:03cast-iron treadle bases,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05but yet, it's got a slab of marble.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And I bet you a quid this slab of marble
0:28:08 > 0:28:12came off a washstand in about 1920, when washstands went out...
0:28:12 > 0:28:16more or less at the same time as the cast-iron base was out of fashion.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- So somebody's just made up a garden table out of two elements, haven't they?- Yes, indeed.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24It'll look very good in somebody's conservatory or on their patio.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- What's it worth?- Um, 40-60.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Great, £70 paid.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Next is the mannequin, which ain't very old.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Do you rate that at all?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Um, I'm sure that a collector of mannequins
0:28:38 > 0:28:40would want the mannequin,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42because it's a nice size for a mannequin.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44You don't often get a child's mannequin.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46No. OK, lovely.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47Does that make it valuable?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- 20-30.- OK, £45 paid.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53Next is the, well, so-called mural cabinet,
0:28:53 > 0:28:57which is quite a pompous way of calling something a wall cupboard, isn't it, really?
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Yes, it is, pretty much.
0:28:58 > 0:29:04It looks like somebody's made it for their exam in woodworking.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It's just not quite old enough,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10but it's a good-quality thing
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- and it's decorative, isn't it?- Yes.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Better than being plain.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Better than being plain, exactly right, Jeremy.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17£90 was paid for it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20What's your best hope at the auction?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Well, we think 30-40, could make more...
0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Right- ..if somebody fancies it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27OK, well, we're going to have to hope that they do fancy it,
0:29:27 > 0:29:29otherwise the team's going to be in trouble.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33And if they are in trouble, they'll need their bonus buy, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Well, this is exciting, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Have you any idea what Philip Serrell has spent your £95 of leftover lolly on?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- No, not at all.- No.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Philip. Show us your wares.
0:29:45 > 0:29:46- Ah.- What is it?
0:29:46 > 0:29:49Well, it is a toddy ladle and what I love about it
0:29:49 > 0:29:52is that that copies the shape of the silver ladle
0:29:52 > 0:29:54of about, what, 1780, 1790.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56A lot of people would call that treen,
0:29:56 > 0:29:59because it's a small, wooden object, but I just love that.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- It's wood, is it?- Yes, it's wood. I think it's probably sycamore, do you think, Tim?
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Well, let's just see. How heavy is it?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06- It's really light. - It's really light.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09It's going to be something really light like that.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Sycamore never flavours anything, does it?
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Which was a favourite wood for turners who are doing something...
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- It's going to handle food, really. - How much did you pay for it?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20The dealer was really, really kind. He let me have it for £22.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- How much?- 22 quid.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24I can see that making £80-£120.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25That's really nice.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28I didn't realise... it doesn't look like wood when you first...
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Almost looks like Bakelite. - It does.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I thought, "Oh, that's a bit naff." But it's really...
0:30:34 > 0:30:36- And it's so light and delicate. - Happy, kids?- Yes, very.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39You don't pick now, you pick later, if you've got any sense.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40Ha!
0:30:40 > 0:30:45Right now, though, let's find out whether the auctioneer loves it as much as we do.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Well, Jeremy, I think for that to survive intactus
0:30:51 > 0:30:52is nothing short of a miracle.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Amazing, isn't it?
0:30:54 > 0:30:57It's a beautiful little turned object
0:30:57 > 0:31:01and I think collectors would want it.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Where do you find another in such good condition
0:31:04 > 0:31:07and following so faithfully a metal example?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09I'm intrigued by this.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11You are not going to spill your soup, are you?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14Well, it's so it goes over the edge of the punchbowl
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- and doesn't slip into the punchbowl. - That's it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18That's what so clever about it.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21So what's a charming little naive thing like this worth?
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Well, we put £15-£25 on it.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- £22 was paid by Phil... - That's very good.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31..which I think is quite a cunning price for something
0:31:31 > 0:31:33that's just so brilliant.
0:31:33 > 0:31:37Anyway, that's it for the Reds. Now for the Blues, Kelly and Alex.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Now, this couple are obsessed by all things agricultural.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- But a Number 9 Shearing Machine, Jeremy...- Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- I guess you sell a few of these.- Yes.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49I mean, of course, this is a Cooper Stewart.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53John Kerwin Stuart, the American from New Hampshire, designed them
0:31:53 > 0:31:59and set up in 1896 the Cooper Stewart Sheep Shearing Company.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01And this is one of his.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Do you "give a XXXX" for it?
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Well, our estimates may be a bit woolly -
0:32:06 > 0:32:0710-20.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10£10-20, that is a woolly estimate, I tell you.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13I think the team were fleeced here! £50 was paid.
0:32:13 > 0:32:19Next is the Berry and Warmington Ltd cast-iron feed scales.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21You wouldn't get much feed in those, would you?
0:32:21 > 0:32:24No, you wouldn't, really. This is a...
0:32:24 > 0:32:28a company...that was just up the road here in Liverpool,
0:32:28 > 0:32:311921-1950.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Looking at the base, which is pretty much late Art Deco,
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- I would say this is late 1920s.- OK.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- So what's your estimate?- £10-£20.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44They are a bit rusty and a bit rustic,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- but should go.- OK, £25 was paid.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49I think they'll probably be all right with that.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52And then I think by far the most interesting object,
0:32:52 > 0:32:56maverick object and really rather wonderful thing
0:32:56 > 0:32:58is the... Either it's a tractor seat
0:32:58 > 0:33:02or it's a farming implement seat...
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- Well, a hay rake seat or...- A drill.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09..Number 1 Potato Digger seat or a tractor seat,
0:33:09 > 0:33:13but by the famous Blackstone company
0:33:13 > 0:33:15of Stamford in Lincolnshire.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20I think these seats are more collectable than we might realise.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21I think they are.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- Well, we will find out, won't we? - We will in a minute.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- What's your estimate?- 20-30. - OK, £60 paid.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I have a funny feeling that this seat could take off.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31Well, I'm enthusiastic.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- Are you enthusiastic?- Very much.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36If it does take off, they won't need their bonus buy,
0:33:36 > 0:33:39but they might do, so let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- Well, this is exciting, isn't it? - It is very exciting.- Very exciting.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46You spent £135. You gave Ben £165,
0:33:46 > 0:33:48which is a fair old chunk, isn't it?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- Yeah.- Enough to play with.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53You can buy one or two lambs with £160, couldn't you?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Anyway, there we go. To the slaughter, then, Ben.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58What did you spend it on?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Well, I wanted to continue with a country theme,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03but go with something I know a little bit more about,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06which is furniture, as opposed to rust!
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Oh-ho-ho!- So...
0:34:09 > 0:34:11..I actually bought a pair of these.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14A pair of country chairs
0:34:14 > 0:34:17and they cost a grand total of £30.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Oh, yes.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21The reason why I bought them,
0:34:21 > 0:34:25they are in fruitwood and, I think, possibly elm, as well.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27And chairs like these,
0:34:27 > 0:34:32when polished up, sell week in, week out for around about £150.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Now, obviously, there's a bit of work to do,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37they need a little bit of polishing and just a bit of gluing,
0:34:37 > 0:34:40but for the trade there's still plenty of movement
0:34:40 > 0:34:42for them to be able to make a good profit.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45So, hopefully, we can make a profit
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- and it should all work out nicely. - Do you like it, Kelly?
0:34:47 > 0:34:51- You can see the potential in them, yeah. I like them.- Oh, good.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- I'd want a big cushion for it. - THEY LAUGH
0:34:54 > 0:34:56OK, perfect.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58You've got the opinion of your expert.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00You don't pick now, you choose later if you want to.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04But let's find out from the auctioneer whether he likes a pair of country chairs.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Well, there we go, J, two incredibly uncomfortable chairs.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Those solid seat chairs are, well, just uncomfortable, aren't they?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16I think they are.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17I think they are chairs
0:35:17 > 0:35:23which are not trying to be a fashion statement.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27I mean, if they were made in the 1940s, they would be utility,
0:35:27 > 0:35:31but they were probably made in the 1810s
0:35:31 > 0:35:33or '20s or '30s.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I mean, it's a fashion that didn't change very much, did it?
0:35:36 > 0:35:40But will they make a profit on £30, do you think?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- 10-20.- £10-£20. £30 paid.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44There could be a problem with that.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48But on the other hand, the team may not go with the rustic chairs.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52But I have a funny feeling, because they're rustic, they probably will.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Ha! What fun. Anyway, thank you very much, J.- You're welcome.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Thank you.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00So, then, Jeremy, it's time to grab your gavel
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- and take to the rostrum.- 80, £80?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05How are you feeling, Alison?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- Excited.- Are you?- Yes.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09- What about you, Tom?- Terrified.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Complete contrary. Why are you so frightened, Phil?
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- You're a big, strong man. - I think we've spent too much money.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I don't know how it's going to go.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- You just don't know how it's going to go.- That is true.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21But there's no point in being frightened,
0:36:21 > 0:36:23- because the missus is just excited, right?- I am.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26First up is the Gothic-style table with the marble top.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Here it comes.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30The commission's here at £35.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32At 35, 35.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34At £35, at 35.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37At £35, at 35.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Anybody else? At £35.- Come on!
0:36:39 > 0:36:4140 at the back. 45?
0:36:41 > 0:36:42At £45 now, at £45.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I'm selling at £45.
0:36:45 > 0:36:4845. 5 off 50, that's minus £25.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51OK, let's breathe deep and go with the mannequin.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54..and blue breeches is lot 187.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Start me at £10 for it. 10?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Where's £10? £10.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59A tenner.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02£10. You're joking.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04£10? Anybody have £10 for it?
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Lot 187 at ten?
0:37:06 > 0:37:07£10 is bid. At 10.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Who's got 15? At £10.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11You're going to get it, sir, at £10, sadly.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13At £10.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15He's going to get it - it's a gift.
0:37:15 > 0:37:16- £10 is minus £35.- Shocking!
0:37:16 > 0:37:18It's a shock, isn't it?
0:37:18 > 0:37:22- The 19th-century mahogany... - Come on, come on!
0:37:22 > 0:37:27The 19th-century mahogany and marquetry mural cupboard, lot 188.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29The bid is here at £30.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31At 30, I'll take 5.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33At 30? 35, 40.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34£40 it is.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36On commission. 5. Commission's out.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38At £45, back of the room at 45.
0:37:38 > 0:37:3950 where? At 45. 50? Yes.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Go on!- 50 here. At £50. 5...
0:37:45 > 0:37:48£55, back right, then, at £55.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50Selling at 55.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55£55. That is 5 short of 60, that's minus £35,
0:37:55 > 0:37:59which takes it to a grand total of minus £95, all right.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Which is not too bad, is it?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- It's awful!- It's awful.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05All right, you said it, it's awful.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09So what about the bonus buy? Are you going with this toddy ladle? It's a no-brainer, isn't it?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Definitely.- It'll make £100, this. Yes? £100.- Beautiful.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14If it makes £100, you're out of trouble. OK. Happy with that?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Yes, please!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19The 19th-century treen toddy ladle, various commissions.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Here at £40.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24At £40. At £40 it is. At 40, at £40.
0:38:24 > 0:38:26- He's doubled his money.- At 40.
0:38:26 > 0:38:3045, 50. At £50, now. At 50.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32At £50, anybody else at £50?
0:38:32 > 0:38:35I'm selling it. At £50, we all finished then at £50?
0:38:35 > 0:38:38- At £50.- Well done, Philip. Thank you very much. Could have made more,
0:38:38 > 0:38:40but it made its £50. Thank you very much.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43So that's now reduces your losses to only £67,
0:38:43 > 0:38:44thanks to P Serrell.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47You could have a winning score. With minus 67! SHE LAUGHS
0:38:47 > 0:38:49That's the way it works, right?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51You could walk away as victors!
0:38:51 > 0:38:53- Yay!- Just don't say a word. - No, we won't.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Don't say a word to the Blues.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03You haven't been to an antiques sale before, Kelly?
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- I've been to a couple, but a long time ago.- Right.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- What, when you were really, really young?- Yeah!
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- What about you, Alex? - This is my first one.- Is it?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- So hopefully it will be a good memory.- Yeah, well.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16You're going to be exposed if not, aren't you?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- One to remember.- Exactly.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Anyway, first up is the sheep shearing machine. Here it comes.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26I'm bid £35.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29At £35 for the sheep shearing machine.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31£35. Who's got 40?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34At £35, 35.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Better than the estimate.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38At £35, then, selling, selling, 35.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40£35 then.
0:39:40 > 0:39:41We're over, that's good.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44It's a loss, you're over the estimate, though.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45It's minus £15. Here we go now.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48209, the early 20th-century set
0:39:48 > 0:39:54of Berry and Warmington Ltd of Liverpool cast-iron feed scales.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56£15 bid.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58At 15. 20, where?
0:39:58 > 0:39:59At £15 it is.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02At 15. 20 at the very back. 25 now.
0:40:02 > 0:40:0430 at the back, commission's out.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07£30. At £30, the bid is at the back of the room.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08At £30.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- Did I tell you you'd make a profit? - You did.- Yes, I did.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12£30 plus £5.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Now, this joker... Frankly, Alex, anything could happen.
0:40:16 > 0:40:21Blackstone and Company cast-iron hay rake seat of openwork form...
0:40:21 > 0:40:23£20.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25Blackstone and Company seat, 20.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27At the back of the room at 20.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Where's 5? 25.
0:40:29 > 0:40:3030.
0:40:30 > 0:40:3235.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34£35 now.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36At 35, I'll take 40 if you like.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38At £35.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Last chance at 35.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41They've got no bottom, these buyers.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44£35. That's it, £35.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- Minus £35, well, I don't understand that about that seat.- No.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Because, I tell you, on another day that could be worth a lot more money.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53- Yes.- So, bad luck, Alex, with that.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Now, what are you going to do about these chairs? £30 worth.- Definitely.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Are you sure?- Definitely. - You're going to invest in them?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- Yes, definitely. - Yeah, believe in Ben!
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Let's cross our legs and hope for the best... And here they come.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06£10, who's got £10 for them?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08A tenner?
0:41:08 > 0:41:09Ten down here at £10, quite right.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- 15, if you like.- No money, is it? Come on!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13At £10.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Last opportunity to purchase them.
0:41:15 > 0:41:1615, yes?
0:41:16 > 0:41:2020, 25, 30...
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Quite right, £30.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Well done, Ben.- £30.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- That's a bit of justice.- £30.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Well done, Ben. Wiped its face, no shame in that.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31OK, fine. Bad luck, though, kids.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35No profit back from those, so, overall, you are minus £35,
0:41:35 > 0:41:38which, I have to say, could be a winning score.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40So, say nothing to the Reds, all right?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Well, it's no secret that each team hasn't done particularly well
0:41:52 > 0:41:55and nobody's going home with any profits or any cash, sadly.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59But the team that is trailing by a chunk today,
0:41:59 > 0:42:01I'm afraid to say, are the Reds...
0:42:01 > 0:42:02THEY GROAN
0:42:02 > 0:42:06..with a total score of minus 67.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09And even after Philip Serrell's brilliant bonus buy,
0:42:09 > 0:42:12which gave you a profit of £28,
0:42:12 > 0:42:13which only clawed back the £28,
0:42:13 > 0:42:16it's not enough to take you to number one position, I'm afraid.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- But did you have a nice time, Ali? - Brilliant.- Good for you, Phil?
0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Yes, it was superb, very exciting. - We've loved having you on the show.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Thank you for joining us. But the victors today are agriculture!
0:42:26 > 0:42:28EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:42:28 > 0:42:32No, seriously, Kelly and Alex, well done. You've won by only losing £35.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- It wasn't too bad.- It's not too bad at all! Minus £35 is your number.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Not quite such a good bonus buy,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40but at least a bonus buy that wiped its face,
0:42:40 > 0:42:41so well done for that, Big Ben.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Have you had a good time? - Fabulous.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Anyway. It's been such fun.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Why don't you both look at our website
0:42:48 > 0:42:51and join us in for some more Bargain Hunting, yes!
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- ALL:- YES!
