0:00:04 > 0:00:09If I was to say Lancelot, Excalibur, the Sword in the Stone,
0:00:09 > 0:00:14you'd think I was rabbiting on about all those Arthurian
0:00:14 > 0:00:16myths and legends, wouldn't you?
0:00:16 > 0:00:20The tales of the Round Table and all that - they're just hearsay,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24aren't they? Well, not necessarily.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28It's claimed that King Arthur ruled this very land
0:00:28 > 0:00:31in Shropshire during the dark ages.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34He then upped and married a girl called
0:00:34 > 0:00:38Guinevere from down the road in Oswestry, which is handy,
0:00:38 > 0:00:41isn't it? Because that's where we're going for our fair today.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45So, after all this lot, let's go bargain hunting - yeah!
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Legend has it that Bargain Hunt has found some incredible items
0:01:15 > 0:01:18here at Oswestry in the past. The teams have just one hour
0:01:18 > 0:01:22and £300 to bag a bargain, so let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Reds are playing dirty...
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- Tell me why you like it. - Cos the Blues like it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31THEY LAUGH
0:01:31 > 0:01:35..while the Blues are telling their expert what for.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37If you don't ask, you don't get, Richard.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43And it's an auction full of celebration...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- Come on, come on.- Yes!
0:01:47 > 0:01:49..and commiserations.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Oh!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53But before all that, let's meet the teams.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Our two teams today may be extremely young - hah! -
0:01:57 > 0:02:00but they have known each other for an age.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05For the Reds, we have Tommy and Cynon and, for the Blues,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- we have Laura and Gemma. Hello, everyone.- Hello, Tim.- Hello!
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Hello, hello, hello. Now, Tommy, you live on a sheep farm
0:02:11 > 0:02:15- and you're passionate about sheep, right?- Not quite, no.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Um, my father has the sheep. He's got about 3,000 of them -
0:02:18 > 0:02:20- I hate every one of them. - Do you?!- So...
0:02:20 > 0:02:22- You'll not be sheep farming, then? - I will not be sheep farming.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- I'll be the last generation to do it, sadly.- Aw!
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yeah.- Is he sad about that, your dad?
0:02:27 > 0:02:31He was until I went on and built some log cabins on the farm,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- and now they make more money than he does.- Really?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- So now he's very proud, yeah.- So the log cabins you have for tourists?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Yes, that's right. We built some in 2013 and they've got nice hot tubs and upstairs
0:02:41 > 0:02:43and things like that, all from Finland.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47And that's essentially your new venture for your family farm?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50That's it, yes. So my dad looks after the sheep now and I keep myself occupied
0:02:50 > 0:02:53welcoming people from all over the world to the cabins.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55- I think I know which I'd prefer to be doing!- Yeah!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Yeah, and you're on the right job. Well, that's fantastic, Tommy.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Now, Cynon, you're a dedicated athlete.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04I have to say, you look pretty fit, so what are your sports?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I used to do athletics mainly a few years back.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Used to compete quite regularly. I was really into that.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I used to travel all around the country competing for my local club.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Used to really enjoy it.- Are you a sprinter, or...?- Yeah, sprinter.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- Not a fan of long distance, anything like that. Keep it short and sweet, sort of thing.- Yeah.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21So how did you get to know Tom?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Um, we used to race against each other
0:03:23 > 0:03:25when we were in primary school.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Our schools used to compete, so I used to beat him.- Oh, did you?- Yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- Was he really fast? - He was unbelievably fast.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- I thought I was fast, fastest in my school.- Yeah.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37But every time we had the county shows, and you'd go up against him, you'd lost before you started.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40And I thought, "Let's put this behind us. I'm never going to beat you."
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- Yeah.- Let's just be friends, call it a day.- Exactly.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44If you can't beat them, join them.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Exactly, and you've remained friends ever since.- Yeah, that's it.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49- Well, good luck, chaps. Now, for the Blues, Laura.- Hi.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- You two met a few years ago.- We did. - At university, yes?- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56It was a little more than a few years ago.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58I think it was about 14 years ago.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Don't own up to that!
0:04:00 > 0:04:03A little while ago, Gemma and I met at university.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You arrived late and we didn't really get on at first but,
0:04:06 > 0:04:12yeah, we soon found a shared love of many TV programmes, one of which,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- we're very pleased to be on today, fulfilling a lifelong dream.- Really?
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- You used to watch...?- We used to miss lectures to watch Bargain Hunt.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21I used to absolutely love it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Obsessed by it! - I don't get to watch it as much now.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27No, no. Quite, cos now you're mature and you've got jobs to do,
0:04:27 > 0:04:29and all the rest of it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Now, Gemma, you work as a teacher in a secondary school.- I do, yeah.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37I teach my passion, which is textiles, but I also teach food,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40which Laura struggles to understand how I teach food.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- Gemma's speciality is fish finger sandwiches.- Oh, really?- I disagree.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I think I've come a long, long way since university, you know!
0:04:47 > 0:04:50I also teach graphic design and also woodwork.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55Gosh, so you're an incredibly practical girl, then, actually?
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Yeah, I'd like to think so. - Well, I mean, to be able to teach all that stuff.- That's it.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Well, you're obviously great mates.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Are you going to make a great Bargain Hunt team, d'you think?
0:05:03 > 0:05:06- Of course we well.- Yeah.- Me and Gemma always make a good team.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09- No falling out.- I'll be decisive... - Yes.- ..and Laura will...
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- I'll be inspirational. - You'll be inspirational.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15OK, inspirational and decisive. What a perfect team!
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Anyway, here we go with the £300. £300, chaps. There you go.
0:05:18 > 0:05:19You know the rules.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24Your experts await and off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Well, I never did.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Now, let's meet our experts.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Shouting out for the Reds is Anita Manning.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38And cleaning up his act for the Blues is Richard Madley.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45Boys, we've got a huge fair. We've got plenty of money.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46What you want to buy?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Well, we're going to try and stay away from kind of little
0:05:49 > 0:05:50silvery things and trinket boxes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54I think we're going to look for something that's maybe decorative,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56also functional, so it's multipurpose.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I'm just going to keep an open mind and hope something jumps out at me.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Something crazy?- That's it. A bit quirky.- A bit quirky.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Price?- £9, £49 and £99.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Why on Earth?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Cos you get a pound of every single item, there's more
0:06:10 > 0:06:13chance of making a profit and therefore the Golden Gavel.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I've never heard that theory before, but who knows?
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Let's hope our teams have got some cunning moves, eh?
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Because your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24ALARM RINGS
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Let's get to it, boys.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Let's go and find something for £9.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31THEY LAUGH
0:06:31 > 0:06:35It's the Reds versus the Blues, the boys versus girls.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Will either team win the coveted Golden Gavel,
0:06:38 > 0:06:40or will there be losses all round?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Let's find out.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- Door knockers?- Door knockers, eh?
0:06:45 > 0:06:46No time to play!
0:06:46 > 0:06:47THEY LAUGH
0:06:47 > 0:06:48I don't know.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51There is a great set of plus fours for me. Those are my...
0:06:51 > 0:06:53They're in my size!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And the Reds are straight in.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58This phone here. Phone?
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Yeah, it's a field phone. It would have been used on the frontline, in the trenches, that kind of thing.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04It would have been connected up via wires along the line.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08They're a good weight. It's all original sort of Bakelite.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12- Yeah. £60 on that.- So that's the First World War?- Second World War.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13- Second World War.- Yeah.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17It's certainly an interesting item in war memorabilia
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and any military stuff always has a market.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23When you consider that that has survived...
0:07:23 > 0:07:29- In the box.- ..the war and we still have our working instructions...
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Just in case!- It would be brilliant to hear some of the stories
0:07:32 > 0:07:34that's gone through the earpiece there.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- I think it's a great item. What do you think?- Yeah, I think it's really nice, isn't it?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Don't often see things like that about and it's lasted well,
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- hasn't it? So... - How much is it?- Got 60 on it.
0:07:44 > 0:07:49- Got 60 on it.- Yeah.- Um, could it be bought in the region of...30?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55I could do it for, I think, 45 would be our best price on it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:5945 is the best price. Well, our gorgeous dealer...
0:07:59 > 0:08:00THEY LAUGH
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Is that worth another fiver off it?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Could you come to 40?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Shake your hand at 40. - Go on, for you guys.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Aw, thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14They are sprinters, aren't they?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Faster than the speed of light!
0:08:16 > 0:08:21One down in six minutes. Let's go on to number two.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23A team to be reckoned with, I reckon.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28What do you think of those chairs? Aren't they nice?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- I like the chairs, actually. - I like the chairs.- That is kind of me, that design.- Yeah.- I like.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- They look a bit dirty. - A bit dirty. Don't worry about that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38We can... Have a quick look. What can you see on the back, Laura?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39- Is there any...?- Cobwebs.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Cobwebs, right. That shows they're old!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45THEY LAUGH
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Are you looking at the set of four?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Are you hoping you might get some individually?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I don't know. Do we want a set of four, really?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Depends what the price is.- £30. He wants to sell them in a set for £30.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- OK. How old do you think that they would be?- Old.
0:08:57 > 0:08:591950s, '60s, something like that?
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Yes, they are.- I like them because it's design and I'm just...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- That's my background, isn't it? - So would they be your item?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I could take the chairs as my item, if you want me to.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12If you'd nicked another pound of the £29, I think you've had a good buy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15OK, if we're going to do some negotiations, 28...
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- You've got to go and do the negotiations.- OK.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Go on, then, Laura. You're the negotiation queen. Yeah. Not me!
0:09:20 > 0:09:23While the Blues test out their nine strategy,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25the Reds are also on the hunt for vintage cool.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I think we've done kind of the wartime and now
0:09:28 > 0:09:31we want to kind of come maybe '60s, '70s, something a bit more swingy.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37- 20th-century design?- That's it. - Cool stuff.- Yes.- Vintage stuff.
0:09:37 > 0:09:42- That's it.- You see, you think that the 1960s were the olden days.- Yeah.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45But I remember, I was there.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Anita Manning in the '60s! Whoo! There's a thought.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- How did you do?- 29!- Yes! - We got nine!
0:09:54 > 0:09:56- Well done, I'm impressed.- Excellent.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- Shall we go for them? - Yeah!- Yes.- Definitely.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- Definitely. Yes. Yes, indeed. Well done.- Brilliant.- Yeah! OK.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I'm excited. Excellent. OK. I quite like them.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Right, next one!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09They said they'd be decisive.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Four chairs, bought for £29 - cobwebs included -
0:10:12 > 0:10:16and it looks like the Reds are following the vintage vibe.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21That's enough of all that.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- Tell me, where do they date from? - 1950s?
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- I'm twisting again, so... - Oh, that's right!
0:10:29 > 0:10:34- Like we did last summer, so... It's quite nice, that.- How much?- 45.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- It'll go for twice that.- 45?- £45. - What do you think? There's three.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- We could have a little look round and...- Uh-huh.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43We'll have a wee look around. Enjoy your look around.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46OK, thank you.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Clever play, Reds.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50With 45 minutes still to go, there's no need to panic buy.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55Somehow, I can't imagine these two panicking. Can you?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57How are the Blues getting on?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I quite like that. What's that? Is that like a ticket machine?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Ticket machine?- A ticket machine!
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- That is an old conductor's ticket machine.- Mmm!
0:11:04 > 0:11:07It could be 1950s, 1960s. Again...
0:11:07 > 0:11:11I feel the era coming out here, 1950s, 1960s.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Hah! That's what the Reds are thinking, too.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Just have a little look at the ticket
0:11:15 > 0:11:19and see what clues we've got on the ticket there, just so we know...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Information about the ticket machine, it's £28.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24I would say it's looks like a bus conductor's.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Do you think they'd take £9 for it? Is that really cheeky?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Yeah, I think that's really cheeky. If it's...
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- If you don't ask, you don't get, Richard.- Er...
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You're absolutely right. If you don't ask, you don't get.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39How many people are going to want a ticket machine?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- No, maybe not, then. - I would just park it to one side.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46- OK, let's park it.- Yeah? Because we know it's here.- Yeah.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48It is interesting, it's well within...
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- well within our price bracket. - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55True, but there is another team of Bargain Hunters not very far away.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00Richard, Richard! Richard, hello.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Is it the boys against the girls?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05I think it is but we've almost finished now,
0:12:05 > 0:12:10- so we're just having a stroll round. - Oh, right.- How are you guys doing?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Well, no, we're considering many options.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15You know, that's what winners usually do.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Is that what you're doing, yeah?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- OK, have you been up there?- There's nothing up there you'd like, Anita.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Well, let's go, boys!
0:12:23 > 0:12:24THEY LAUGH
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Phew! That went well.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Oh, look at the old... Is that an old bus ticket machine?- Oh-oh!
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- What is it?- That's when you had a clippy. That's a bus conductor or bus conductress.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Not a clue what you're talking about.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- STALL HOLDER:- I'm not putting pressure on you, but the Blue team are coming back for that.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45That's it!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- He's let the cat out of the bag their!- Have they bagged it?
0:12:48 > 0:12:49Have they bagged it?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- No, they're coming back. They like it.- They like it.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- Have they put money in your palm yet?- No.- No.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57So that means it's still for sale?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- You offer me money, it's yours. - Yeah, uh-huh.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Oh, I was just telling the boys that I remember a time
0:13:02 > 0:13:04when these things were used.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- I used to be a bus conductor. - Did you?- I did, yeah.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- So when would that one have dated from?- Round about the '60s.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Tell me why you like it. - Cos the Blues like it!
0:13:12 > 0:13:14THEY LAUGH
0:13:15 > 0:13:17You naughty boys!
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- Will £15 buy that?- £15 would buy it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Is 15 your best price, is it? The lowest you can go?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It is, really.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29But...
0:13:29 > 0:13:3112 and it's yours.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Shake his hand at 12.- 12?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Oh, thank you very much.
0:13:36 > 0:13:37Guys, you've done the deal.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41All is fair in love and war...and Bargain Hunt.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43LAUGHTER
0:13:43 > 0:13:45You said it, Anita.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49Now, 20th-century design is all the rage today and I found
0:13:49 > 0:13:52a classic piece that you'll all remember from back in the day.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Fancy a drink?
0:14:00 > 0:14:07Well, in 1970, if you wanted a fizzy drink,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11you might well have one of these sitting in your cocktail cabinet.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13But would it be likely to work
0:14:13 > 0:14:17if I was to put it in my cocktail cabinet today?
0:14:17 > 0:14:22An indication that this thing is in good and working condition is
0:14:22 > 0:14:26indicated if you're able to buy one with its original box.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Inside, it comes complete with a box...
0:14:30 > 0:14:38of bulbs, which are full of carbon dioxide, ready for the off.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Also, we have the bulb holder.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Bung the bulb into that, like that,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51and screw it into the appropriate spot...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53BUBBLING
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01What we've got, hopefully,
0:15:01 > 0:15:08is carbon dioxide mixing with the otherwise still water. That's sorted.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Let's see whether we actually get a drop of something delicious.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Ready for this?
0:15:12 > 0:15:13Ooh!
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Look at that! Hubbly bubbly!
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Absolutely delicious.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30So, what's this whole iconic 1960s, '70s gadget going to cost you?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Here in Oswestry, complete with all the bits and pieces,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35it could be yours for £20.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Is that a bargain or what? Hic!
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Back to bargain hunting and the competition's hotting up
0:15:43 > 0:15:47between the ruthless Reds, who nabbed the ticket machine from the Blues.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Do feel a little bit guilty, but I'm sure I'll get over it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- We're in it to win it, aren't we? - We are in it to win it.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56And the Blues, who, despite the best laid plans,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58have only bought one item.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Ooh, we need to relook at strategy, don't we?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yeah, we don't really have a strategy, do we?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04No, we've lost the strategy.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Strategy's all well and good, girls, but with only 30 minutes left,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10I would recommend buying something!
0:16:10 > 0:16:12Oh, there's a beacon of hope, look.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Oh, look at that. Look at the lighthouse.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- I was going to say, I quite like that, yeah.- Yeah?
0:16:19 > 0:16:20Is it a lighthouse, or...? Yeah.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It is a lighthouse and it should actually work.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24There is a little bulb in the top
0:16:24 > 0:16:28with some small batteries, but it's got a slight fault on it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- SELLER: So it's very cheap. - How cheap might it be?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35I could do it for £5 for you.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- I need to get a nine in there somewhere.- That's the strategy.
0:16:38 > 0:16:394.99, how's that?
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- 4.99!- Hang on, we've got to pick it up and look at it!
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- 4.99! - THEY LAUGH
0:16:45 > 0:16:47My money's coming out of my pocket so quickly.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49I don't know if I like it now I've touched it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52- Is it not as heavy?- It's not as heavy. It's really light.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53Is it, yeah?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Well, it is a LIGHT house, isn't it?
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- It's not as weighty as you'd expect it to be.- Yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:03That's scratchbuilt by an amateur, a model engineer,
0:17:03 > 0:17:07perhaps in the 1950s, 1960s. But if it's not for you,
0:17:07 > 0:17:12- then even at 4.99, we must pass it. - I think so.- Do you think?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- I'm not getting a vibe from it.- No, no.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17I think we need to stick with the original strategy.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19OK. I'm deviating, I'm deviating. I'm sorry.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- It was a very kind offer. - It's all right.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Hmm, they started off so decisively.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Meanwhile, the Reds only have one item to buy
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and are trying their luck inside.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Ha! What is that?
0:17:35 > 0:17:36THEY CHUCKLE
0:17:38 > 0:17:43- It's a seesaw!- It's nice, isn't it?- Is that what it is?
0:17:43 > 0:17:47Yep, it's a folding seesaw. You pull the pins out and it all folds up.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Does it still work?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- What sort of period is it?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- Edwardian.- Have you ever seen anything like it before, Anita?
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Not really. Perhaps a country house piece,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00but it's unusual and it's sort of a weird,
0:18:00 > 0:18:05- and I think it sort of fits in with...- The theme.- ..you guys.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08I would play on it and that's the main thing.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Go and sit on that. Sit on the other side.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Are you going on a side, or is it me and him?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- I just don't want to break it, though.- Will it break?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Not too heavy. - You go up, I'll go down.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21SHE LAUGHS
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Boys and their toys, eh?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27With only 20 minutes left and two items still to buy,
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Richard is trying to lead his team in the right direction.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36I'd like just to find out how much that medal group is.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39I know it's not within our buying strategy,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41but that is a Second World War group
0:18:41 > 0:18:45that was sent to the recipient who'd served at the war.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48He never even took them out of the packaging.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- Wow, I love it. - Yeah, cos it's there, isn't it?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54That's how much it meant to him, and a lot of soldiers came back,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58having served in the war, and they were sent their medals, and they
0:18:58 > 0:19:01put them to one side, and so that's a group that's never been mounted.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I'd just like to know, it's got his dog tag with it,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06- it's got his name and address... - Has it got his dog tag as well?
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yeah, I'd be interested to know...
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Excuse me, can I ask you about the price of the medal group?
0:19:12 > 0:19:1460 for the set.
0:19:14 > 0:19:1760 for the set and, without getting it out, what have we got in there?
0:19:17 > 0:19:22- Three stars...- Yep.- ..the war medal...- Yep.- ..dog tags...- Yep.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24..and the box with the paperwork as well with it.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27So everything's there. We've got the paperwork as well.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29We've got a strategy, it's a nine strategy...
0:19:29 > 0:19:30All right.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33..in that anything we buy has to have a nine in it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:34OK.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36OK?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- I wouldn't ask for 59. - You wouldn't ask for 59?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Well, I would ask for 59, but I'd want something a bit lower.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- Oh! - LAUGHTER
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- Look at that, look at that! - Would you take 49?
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Go on, then, we'll do 49.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Are you happy with 49?- I think...
0:19:52 > 0:19:53I'm happy with 49.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56I think it's a good price, he's being very decent to us.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Thank you very much. - Yeah, that's very kind of you.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01- Thank you very much.- I'm happy with that as well. Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- 49. Good.- Excellent.- Lovely. - We're still on the nine.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- We've got a story to tell, now. - Oh, I like that.- I like it, too.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- Made the second purchase. - Yeah, well done.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Yes!- High-five! Whoo!
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Maybe there's something in this nine thing after all.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17What do you think of the team, Richard?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21They started off very decisively and then they got increasingly
0:20:21 > 0:20:25indecisive, but I think I've got them back on track now,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29so now I think, as long as we focus on one good third and final buy,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31we'll be OK.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Now, where are those naughty Reds?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Good Lord, they're still weighing up the seesaw.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37At least we know it works.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40It's good, yeah! I think you're a bit too big for it, though!
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Just a bit! It definitely sees and saws.- That's it, isn't it?
0:20:44 > 0:20:45It sees and saws?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I think a yummy mummy just might like that to sit in her
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- garden for her tots. - For her little weans.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Well, I've got my ups and downs about it, but...
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- SHE LAUGHS - I don't know.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Look, boys, if you're not sure, you can have a quick swish -
0:20:59 > 0:21:02and I mean a two-minute swish - down there.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06See if anything jumps out at you because we're running out of time.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- Time's not on our side?- Time's not on our side now. On you go.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Quite right, Anita. There's only eight minutes left
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and both teams still have one item left to buy!
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Now, let me tell you, there is
0:21:19 > 0:21:23one thing that I always find sells well in a silver plate sale...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- One of those.- Hip flask? - Hip flasks.- Interesting.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- It's a big hip flask.- Can you reach over there and have a look?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Long arms?- Oh, my God, that's heavy!- Is it really?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34It's heavy, we like that.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Oh, my goodness me, it is!
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- That is...- What's the mark on the bottom? I don't know...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I quite like it. It's very gentlemanly.- ..anything about marks.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- It's very dapper.- It is very gentlemanly.- I'm with you.- Nice.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Screw top.- Oh, look at that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Empty? Whisky?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51No, there's nothing, I can't smell it. I'm a brandy girl, really.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Are you?- Yeah.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- So, it says 1893.- 1893, so I wasn't far off. Now, it's got...
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Showing its age.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02It's silver plate, OK? So there you've got... That's all right...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04Is that OK in this case?
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Down the bottom, there is an EP, which says electroplate...- OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11..and then turn it this way around and, if I'm right,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14you've got a J, D and S,
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- and that's James Dixon and Sons...- OK.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18..of Sheffield and that's their trademark.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- I've heard of those, I think.- Yeah, they're well-known.- Oh, OK.- Yep.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It hasn't actually got a price on it,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26so we don't want to fall in love with something that doesn't...
0:22:26 > 0:22:27No, we don't.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- I'm probably not going to get it for £9, am I?- I...
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- LAUGHTER - I don't think £9!
0:22:32 > 0:22:35No, but should we find out how much we can get it for?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38There had better be a nine in it somewhere.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41The boys, meanwhile, have a decision to make.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- So, we've got the seesaw as one option.- Mm-hm.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48The radio, that option, leaves a lot more money for Anita,
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- but it might not be still there.- It might not work out.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52With karma and what we did with the Blues,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54it might be gone, so I don't know. What do you think?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57We haven't got much time. Should we just go for that seesaw?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58If you want, we'll go for the seesaw.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- Try and haggle him down? - We'll haggle him down.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04You'd better be quick - time's a-ticking.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Now, will the Blues get a good final deal?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10- Gentleman - Sir.- Madam - Miss.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11THEY LAUGH
0:23:11 > 0:23:13This is a very dapper, gentlemanly piece.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Do you think so?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Well, it would depend on the price.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Is it handsome sum?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Well, I'll do it you for 85.
0:23:22 > 0:23:2585... We're not into fives, we're into nines.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Oh, well, 90.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29LAUGHTER
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- You walked straight into that one! - He's good! He's good!
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It has to be a nine at the end, a nine at the end.
0:23:35 > 0:23:3799?
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You're supposed to go down, not up!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I'm not very good at this haggling thing, am I?
0:23:43 > 0:23:44What about 79?
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Go on then.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Ooh!- Deal.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- A good final buy, I think. - That's three yeses, isn't it?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- We're done.- Done.- Done.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Well done, Blues.
0:23:57 > 0:24:02You must be on cloud nine...and you beat the Reds to the finish line.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Come on, boys, one minute to go!
0:24:05 > 0:24:10- OK, boys, um, do you want to go for this?- I think we are.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Do you want to negotiate with our trader?- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Have you seen the price ticket?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- How much is it?- 175.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21175?!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24140 is the absolute trade on it.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27We have a serious buyer that will buy it off us
0:24:27 > 0:24:29at the end of the fair if it doesn't go.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32The best deal's the one that's here right now.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- Correct.- Come here.- Shake my hand.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36- We'll do 130 and it's done.- No.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38No.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40Split it down the middle. 135.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- 135.- Done. Thank you.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Well done, lads. Hope you do all right.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48PHONE RINGS
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Mum's the word, eh? Cos time's up.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54And I just think, boys, this is SO you.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- It's so playful, it's so weird. - If it doesn't sell, we'll keep it.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Good work, team. You certainly stuck to the quirky plan.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Let's remind ourselves what they bought.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08This World War Two telephone was their first buy for £40.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11Tickets, please!
0:25:11 > 0:25:15The '60s machine cost the Reds just £12.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17That'll be a return.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21And they spent 135 big ones on this quirky see-saw. I say!
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Now, Tom-Tom, Cynon, which is your favourite piece?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Um, I think I'm going to have to go with the old phone.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- Dog and bone, good. What about you, Cynon?- I'm going to say the see-saw.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Cost us a bit, but I think it's a very unique item, yeah.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Yeah, good for you. So which piece is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- The phone.- You think the phone? I think the see-saw.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44We're all over the shop with you two, aren't we?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46But very enthusiastic and very sweet.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- So how much did you spend all round? - £187.- You spent £187.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I'd like £113 of leftover lolly, please.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55There's 110 and there's the three, sir.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58And that goes straight over to Anita Manning.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00What are you going to spend all of that on?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04The boys like unusual, quirky items and I think I've found something
0:26:04 > 0:26:08which would suit all of these things...
0:26:08 > 0:26:11and it's a wee bit asymmetric.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13That's a big old word, isn't it?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16Anyway, meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue Team bought, eh?
0:26:17 > 0:26:21The child's chairs were snapped up by the Blues for £29.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26For the sum of £49, they bought a group of World War Two medals.
0:26:28 > 0:26:33And this silver-plated hip flask cost a princely £79.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Gemma, Laura, how are you?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Good, thank you. - Good. Was that an experience or not?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- It was fantastic. - It was great, thank you.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45So what did you spend, Gemma, on your experience?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- £157.- £157.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I would like £143 of leftover lolly, please.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Laura, the banker, thank you very much.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56Laura, the banker, which was your favourite piece?
0:26:56 > 0:27:00I think mine was the thigh flask.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Or hip flask, as it's technically called.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Well, I've heard them called a few things, but thigh flask?!
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- It's big enough to beat him.- Is it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- It's a big one? - It's massive.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Now, Gemma, which is your favourite piece?
0:27:13 > 0:27:15- It has to be the children's chairs. - That's your favourite?- It is.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Will the chairs bring the biggest profit?- I'm going to say yes.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19You're going to say yes.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23And will your thigh flask bring you the biggest profit?
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Hopefully, but I think the medals will bring us the biggest profit.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- OK. Now, Richard, serious note. Here is a ton of money.- Thank you.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And you have had such fun with these girls.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37I've had fantastic fun with these girls but, on the way round,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41you walked past something that I think you missed.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44If it's still there, I think I might just buy it for you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46On that happy note, you'd better buck up, Richard,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49because very shortly we're heading off to the auction.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51How lovely!
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Trevanion & Dean's sale room is in Whitchurch on the Shropshire
0:27:55 > 0:27:59and Cheshire borders and there's a familiar face wielding the gavel.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Christina Trevanion is the auctioneer of the moment
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- and a treat it is to be here, Christina.- Oh.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Anyway, we have got some boy's toys here, haven't we?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yeah, we have a bit, haven't we?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- The telephone set is military issue, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21It's quite fun. It's Bakelite. We have had interest in it.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- We found another one which is up in a museum in Manchester...- Oh, right.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26..so it may go to a museum, you never know.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- How do you value it then? - Well, I put £30-£50 on it.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Very sensibly, I might say, because £40 was paid.- Oh, there we go.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- So, spot on. They'll be pleased with that.- Phew!
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Now, Cynon loved the bus conductor's till.- Did he?- Yeah, he did.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44We've had quite a lot of phone calls from ex-bus conductors, you know.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- Yeah.- So I'm thinking it is maybe an up-and-coming collectible area.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- OK.- But it don't want to see anymore!
0:28:52 > 0:28:54So what's your estimate?
0:28:54 > 0:28:59- We have put £15-£20 on it, as a bit of novelty.- £12 paid.- £12?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02I feared they might have paid 50 or something like that,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04but no, it's only £12, so I think that's a sure-fire.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- And then we come to the parlour see-saw...- Ah.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10..which is a lovely bit of country house kit, isn't it?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- It's great fun and it folds as well...- Yes.- ..which is great.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15So it's space-saving.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17If you haven't got a huge amount of space but you need a see-saw,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19this is the one for you.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21We put £50-£100 on it.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- £135 they paid for it.- Ooh, really? - I wouldn't worry unduly.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30It's either going to do its money spectacularly or it's going to
0:29:30 > 0:29:34fail spectacularly, but, depending on how that thing swings,
0:29:34 > 0:29:35whether it's up or down,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38will depend on whether they need the Bonus Buy,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40so let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Tommy, Cynon, what you did was spend £187, which was magnificent.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47You gave Anita £113. Anita, what did you spend it on?
0:29:47 > 0:29:52Boys, I bought you some whacky candlesticks.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Wow.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00You're young. Young people really love 20th-century design,
0:30:00 > 0:30:04and these candlesticks were designed by one of the giant
0:30:04 > 0:30:09designers of the 20th century, Matthew Hilton.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12They're a bit like crazy birds.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15This design is often called The Swan
0:30:15 > 0:30:20because it could be a little bit like a swan's neck.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24They're made of aluminium and aluminium was a material that
0:30:24 > 0:30:28was used a lot in objects in the latter part of the 20th century.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32- These are about 1970.- How much did you pay for them, Anita?
0:30:32 > 0:30:35How much did I pay? I paid £30 for these.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39I think the aluminium scrap value is quite good at the moment as well.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Is that all you can think of, boys, the scrap value?- Tommy!
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- What are you like, Tommy? - I think they're very nice, Anita.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49That's, I suppose, an added consideration.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51OK, well, on that happy note, why don't we find out what the
0:30:51 > 0:30:54auctioneer thinks about the weird and the whacky?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59- Here's a bit of modernism for you. - Thanks.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Yeah, interesting.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04Produced by or for SCP, who were retailers
0:31:04 > 0:31:08and manufacturers of modernist furniture from 1985 onwards.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09As late as that, is it?
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Yes, very much so, but it's sort of up-and-coming.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16I like them. They're interesting, but they're younger than me.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Really? Gosh!- Yeah, even me.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Gosh, they're not old then, are they? So how much?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Well, we put £15-£20 on them.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30They do retail for quite a lot more, but we thought £15-£20.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33OK, well, the fair Anita paid £30.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35OK, I think they'll make that.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37We'll see what happens if the team go with them.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41Now, for Laura and Gemma, they've got the garden chairs,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43which are not old, are they?
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- No.- Just colourful.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Bit sun-bleached. They've been in the garden.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- They're fun things but not hugely exciting.- Will it make £20?
0:31:51 > 0:31:56- I would hope so.- £5 each? - Yeah, I'd hope so.- £29, they paid.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Not antique. They'll do what they do and very good luck to them.- Yeah.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Now, much more collectable,
0:32:01 > 0:32:04- though, are the World War Two medals. - Ah, yes.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Very lovely. Obviously they've got their original box.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10They've got their little certification here and,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12greatly, you've got the dog tags.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15You don't often see that, especially on the original cord.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Medals are such a hot area right now.- Yeah, not surprising really.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21- How much? - Well, we put £50-£70 on them.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- OK, £49 paid...- Ooh, OK. - ..so that's good, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- Now, the most interesting lot, I think...- I love this!
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- ..is the very nice flask.- Yeah.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- It is a good thing, isn't it?- It is a REALLY good thing. I like this.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- Unusual to find one of such a good size.- Yeah, huge.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39So what's your prediction?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Well, we've put £50-£70 on it because obviously you get them
0:32:41 > 0:32:44in silver, which are more desirable. This is silver plate.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46We have got a little bit of a condition issue,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49but I think that might be a bit of a come-and-get-me estimate.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- I think it might be. They paid £79.- OK.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I don't think this team are going to need their Bonus Buy,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00- Laura, Gemma, how are you feeling? - Good.- Are you excited?- Very excited.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Yeah, I know. What has Richard found for you?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I mean, you gave him a whole load, £143.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Richard, show us your wares.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12With £143, I went out and bought this.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16- Oh!- Remember him?- We do, yeah.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Indeed.- We spent some time looking at him, didn't we, yeah?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20We did indeed.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24We looked at a lighthouse lamp, based, I think, probably
0:33:24 > 0:33:28on an American model and it's probably made out in the Far East.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I didn't pay £99 for it.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- 4.99.- Absolutely bargain.- Brilliant.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37So how much do you think it's going to make?
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I would hope that we might double or even treble our money.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Will it light up your life, do you think, Gemma?
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I don't know, it might do, yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48You decide after the sale of your first three items
0:33:48 > 0:33:51and then you can decide whether to go with the lighthouse or not.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53But, right now, for the audience at home,
0:33:53 > 0:33:56let's find out whether it's going light up the auctioneer's life.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59- Honestly?- Yes, honestly.- Not hugely.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- Yeah, I mean, it's a decorative thing.- It's a decorative thing.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Bit of fun.- A man in his study, on a shelf...- Needs a lighthouse lamp.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09He needs a lighthouse lamp badly!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12So what would a man who needs a lighthouse lamp badly pay for it
0:34:12 > 0:34:14in your opinion?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Well, we've sort of been a little ambiguous maybe
0:34:16 > 0:34:18and said £15-£20, hopefully.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Well, that's lovely, isn't it?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- £4.99 was paid by Richard.- £4.99?
0:34:23 > 0:34:27- Yes.- Brilliant.- It's not a lot of money, is it?- No, not a lot of money.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Hopefully, we'll make him a profit on that.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31Well, all I can say is, Christina,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33you're sending out all the right signals.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Thank you.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Time for Christina to take to the rostrum.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42I'm selling to the room at 720.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47- So, chaps, how you feeling?- Good. Bit nervous.- What do you mean, "Yeah"?
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- Confident. Quietly confident. We have faith in Anita.- I know.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53We all do, actually. Half the nation does.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Now, first up then is the field telephone.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00As they used to say, "It's for yoooou!" And here it comes.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03I've got interest here, as you would expect, cos it's a fascinating thing
0:35:03 > 0:35:06at 25, £30 with me on commission.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- £30.- At 30, clears my book.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1240, internet bidder at 40. 45.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1445, you're in profit.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17£50. Internet bidder at £50. Where's five?

0:35:38 > 0:35:42I have interest here. I've got £15 here with me on commission at £15.

0:35:59 > 0:36:03- £35. I'm loving it.- Oh, well done, my boys.- Three off 15.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10Plus 23, lads. You are plus 48.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Now, here comes the big risk.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Lot 94 is the late 19th/early 20th-century
0:36:14 > 0:36:16folding parlour see-saw.

0:36:46 > 0:36:51- 130.- It's worth £140 worth of fun, sir, I can tell you.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Come on, please. - Are you sure?- Come on!
0:36:54 > 0:36:57140 is bid. There he is!
0:36:57 > 0:37:01£140 with you then, sir, at £140.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04£140. Look at that. Plus £5.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Well, OK. You pleased about that?
0:37:06 > 0:37:10I think we may have a Golden Gavel, is that right?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Wow, boys. Wonderful, wonderful.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15That is, I have to tell you, plus 53. That's folding money, isn't it?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- That's folding money.- Profit on each lot. I told you you'd be all right.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- Did I tell you you'd be all right? - You did.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- We didn't doubt you for a minute. - I don't think you did much.- Yes!
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Now, what about these Matthew Hilton jobbies?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- There's no doubt, we're going with them.- We trust you, Anita.- Ooh!
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- You've taken us this far, Anita.- You can do it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Well, listen...
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I can't say anything, boys, but I'm very, very nervous now!
0:37:37 > 0:37:40Now you're going with the Bonus Buy, I can tell you that the
0:37:40 > 0:37:42auctioneer's estimate is 15-20, all right?
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Let's believe in Anita and here come the candlesticks.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49Lots of interest here. I've got bids in line.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53- I'm going to have to start this at £35, £45.- Yes!
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Clears my book here at £45. Against you online.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Against you in the room, with my bidder at £45.
0:38:00 > 0:38:06- £45 is plus £15.- Boys, I have to say to you, I was very nervous!
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- You are, overall, plus £68. - We're happy with that.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14We will have to go out to the cash machine to draw some money
0:38:14 > 0:38:16to pay you out.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20- That's a definite. So, say nothing to the Blues, all right?- I don't know.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- Our poker faces are going to be poor.- Look miserable. Go on, try.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28That's not bad. That's good. All right, you've convinced me.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35- OK, you two, you been chatting to the Reds?- No.- Good.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37No eye contact, nothing.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40First up are the four garden chairs and here they come.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Be brave, girls, be brave.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Moving on now is a set of four child's garden chairs.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47There they are. Bright lovely colours, these. Bright and cheery.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17- Bad luck, girls.- Not bad though. Could have been worse.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18It certainly could.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- That is minus £1 only. - That's all right. It's fine.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Now, watch the medals zoom away.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26There they are with their original box as well.

0:39:40 > 0:39:43£40 is minus nine. Uh-oh!
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Hip flask, £120. Watch it go.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Very nice example, this, and really rather large,
0:39:50 > 0:39:52which is quite useful, I think.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56Now, interest here with me at 45, £50.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06At £60, I have, if we're all done.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- I can see you hovering online. If we're all done, then.- She's trying.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Don't miss it. It's at £60 all done.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16- Oh, it's all right. - £60 is minus £19.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Minus 19?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20You are minus 29.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23All these nines, I don't know.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28- I'm sorry about that. That is so miserable.- So disappointing.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Anyway, so what are we going to do about the lighthouse?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Going to have a punt?- Of course we are.- Of course we are, yes.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- £4.99.- You can't go wrong, can you?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39We're going with the Bonus Buy and here it comes.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44Lot 120 is the novelty lighthouse lamp. Great fun thing, this.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48We've got bidders on the book. I've got to start this at 12, 15, 18...
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- £20, clears my book here at £20. - Yes!

0:41:09 > 0:41:12At £28, all done.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Oh, dear. Not bad.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18She sold it for £28. That is absolutely brilliant,
0:41:18 > 0:41:22which means, overall, you are now only minus £5.99,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24which could be a winning score.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Anyway, super. Say nothing to the Reds.- No.- No?- Nothing.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Very, very, very good fun. Lovely.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Well, what lovely teams, eh? I told you they were lovely teams.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42- Lovely teams, been chatting? - Er, yeah. Not about the score.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43Not about the score.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Just as well because there's a vast chasm between you
0:41:46 > 0:41:49and the runners up today, by a good old wodge,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52just happen to be the Blues.
0:41:54 > 0:41:59I mean, I have never announced a runners' up score which
0:41:59 > 0:42:02includes any 'P' in my life.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06But you have lost by £5.99p,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08which is quite something, isn't it?
0:42:08 > 0:42:125.99 is their score. MINUS 5.99.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Anyway, there we go. Did you have a good time?- Yeah, fabulous.- Did you?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Yes, thank you.- Great.- Good for you, Gems?- Yeah, brilliant.
0:42:18 > 0:42:19I'm so glad you were able to come,
0:42:19 > 0:42:24but the victors today, au-contraire, go home with £68,
0:42:24 > 0:42:28which is £68 of real money.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Cynon's very happy with this.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35There's your £68, which is super-duper,
0:42:35 > 0:42:38and, because you made a profit on every single item,
0:42:38 > 0:42:40including the Bonus Buy, which is a miracle...
0:42:40 > 0:42:42It's how we do it, Tim.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46..you get to join the ancient and noble order of the Golden Gavellers.
0:42:46 > 0:42:47There they are, look, three of them.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51- Wear it with pride.- I will do, always.- Always.- Thank you.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52It's a fantastic thing, isn't it?
0:42:52 > 0:42:54To make a profit on all three items,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- and on the expert's Bonus Buy, I congratulate you.- Thank you.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- You're happy with that, aren't you? - Very happy, yeah.
