0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today we've flown into Malvern
0:00:05 > 0:00:09and fetched up next door to these magnificent buzzards.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12They have a wingspan of eight feet
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and are mounted 16 feet above the ground on a plinth,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20and were put here to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24There's definitely a buzz in the air today
0:00:24 > 0:00:27so let's go bargain hunting, yeah!
0:00:54 > 0:00:58On today's programme, here at the Three Counties Showground,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02we have a builder, we have a banker, we have a beautician
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and we have a businessman,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07but what three beauties are they going to buy today
0:01:07 > 0:01:11to build up a decent profit over at the auction?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Let's take a quick squint, shall we?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Yeah, on today's show, the Reds' plans go out of the window.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I had a good battle plan when we started
0:01:21 > 0:01:24and it seems to be changing as we are walking around.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27It's a mad dash for the Blues.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- We need to get going. - We have to run. Come on, Duncan!
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I've got a new knee!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36But which team will prove victorious at the auction?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Yes! Going! It's going!
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Oh, no.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49Yes, well, before all that, let's meet today's teams,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52because we have a couple of couples.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55For the Reds, we've got Greg and Freya,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58and for the Blues, Raquel and Duncan. Hello, everyone.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Hi, Tim.- Lovely to see you.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Now, Greg, you're actually a couple of dare devils, aren't you?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Yes, we are, Tim. We met three years ago in a charity skydive.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11We started talking on the plane where Freya was obviously nervous
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and I was putting on a nice, brave front,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17- but, of course...- Lies. - ..deep down I was terrified too.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21- So this was your first outing ever, both of you...- And last!- And last?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23And last, yeah!
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- But you like flying though. - I do, yeah.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm doing my private pilot's licence
0:02:28 > 0:02:30but I wouldn't want to jump out of one again.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I'm happy to fly one but that's as far as it goes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35What's your plan at the end of it?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Are you going to be setting off around Britain
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- on trips on your plane or what? - That's the plan.
0:02:41 > 0:02:45It depends if we make loads of money today with our items.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49- We'll be retiring early. - Retiring immediately?- That's right.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53In your dreams! But, no, why not? Have ambitions. Fly high.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Now, Freya, you like to make people look at their best, don't you?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Yes, I'm the manager of a make-up counter. Yeah, it's good fun.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03My degree was actually in special effects make-up
0:03:03 > 0:03:06so I do all prosthetic and body painting and stuff.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Is it that difficult to give somebody an artificial scar
0:03:10 > 0:03:13and make them look really ugly when they are as handsome as hell?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- Not if you know what you're doing. - Oh, I see.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18But, yeah, it's good - good fun.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- What do you know about antiques, you two?- Not a lot.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I know more about guitars. I collect guitars.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- What got you going with guitars? Are you a musician?- Yeah.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29I started playing guitar when I was a lot younger.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Are you going to be buying musical instruments today? - If we can find them.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Anyway, good luck. Lovely to talk to you.- Thank you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- So, Rachel, it was your love of dogs that brought you together.- It was.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43We both had a dog each and we have lived in the same village
0:03:43 > 0:03:44for a long, long time
0:03:44 > 0:03:48and we used to meet walking our dogs at six o'clock in the morning.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I deliberately changed my dog route so I could see her every morning.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Now the honesty is coming out. Exactly.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57What do you do for a living?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I'm a building society manager. I've been there about 19 years.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02A long time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I thoroughly love my job, what I do.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Good variety, so it keeps me out of mischief.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10And you do a lot of fundraising for charity.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12We do, yes. Certainly at work.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16About four or five times a year, just do what we can,
0:04:16 > 0:04:20and we just have a great time while we're doing it as well.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- Duncan, it says here that you're a handyman.- A bricklayer by trade.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So handy you took your two-bedroom house
0:04:26 > 0:04:30- and it's now a seven-bedroom house, is that right?- Not quite.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34It was an old ramshackle bungalow and we decided it was not going to
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- be big enough, so I had a bit of a play...- Did you?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- ..with my able assistant who was labourer to me.- I was.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- So you were mixing the cement and he was laying the bricks?- I was.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47I would go to work, get home, there would be a pallet of bricks there,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50- and he'd say, "I want those from there to there."- I'm a hard man.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53What sort of things are you going to be buying today?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57We quite like our retro furniture so if we can find something retro,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- that would put a tick in both of our boxes.- Fine.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05- We are going to spend some money. - You are going to spend some money? This is music to my ears.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Talking about money, here's some - £300 apiece.- Thank you very much.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14You know the rules. Your experts await. Off you go. Very good luck.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I could do with an extension myself.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Helping to build our teams' extensive profits,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23we have two fine experts.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26For the Reds, a man with a world of wisdom. It's Charles Hanson.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31And hoping to clean up for the Blues, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36So if I said to you, what are you after?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40I think after small trinkets and things like that.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Probably the opposite of Greg but that's fine.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45So what are you looking for today?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Something silver. I know silver always sells well.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49Something like that.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52I'd like to get some big, bulky furniture.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Either that or some Art Deco.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Let's take the bull by the horns
0:05:55 > 0:05:59because our teams only have 60 minutes, starting now.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01- Let's go.- Brilliant.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05And here we go. What has Charles got his eye on?
0:06:07 > 0:06:10Just follow me over here. Isn't that lovely?
0:06:10 > 0:06:13I seems to be quite old but it's got damage on the inside.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16To the unassuming, it's a pine cone pattern
0:06:16 > 0:06:18made by Worcester in around 1780
0:06:18 > 0:06:22and, in fact, it's a really good imitation
0:06:22 > 0:06:25but not made by Worcester, made by Booths, so it's not right.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27But I thought it was.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- So it got me. Not a good start! - That's not a good start.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33But I love it because it's so beautifully made.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- Sorry about that.- That's OK. If it's not right, it's not for us.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Thanks, Greg.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Bad luck Charles. Move on though.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Has anything caught your eye yet? - Not at the moment.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47No need to panic. It's still early days.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm starting to feel the pressure because there are so many items.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You're not, are you? Three items can be plucked like that.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56All these trestle tables have treasures on, like one over here.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's my boy, Carlos.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02And have the Blues been galvanised into action yet?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Something like that planted up. That would be lovely.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- This piece?- No. This one.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Your galvanised tank.- That's lovely. - It would be great for a plant or...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14What do you think would be your best on that?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Well, if we said £130, but I tell you what, that is a lump of metal.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21I can see it's a lump of metal, sir. I can see it's not a ball of cheese!
0:07:21 > 0:07:26I don't know. The rest haven't got rivets in. These are the big rivets.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29But you would have to put holes into it for drainage.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- That would be a shame, really. - You would have to or else...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Or you could use it as a water feature.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38You could seal it, use it as a water feature as well.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- It's still a bit pricey. - I would want to pay...- £80-£100?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- You're right. - What do you think Caroline?
0:07:44 > 0:07:45I think it's a good thing
0:07:45 > 0:07:48and it would look great in a courtyard somewhere.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51The rivets are good, I agree. I can see it...
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- I would have that in our garden. - I would too.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I think it needs to be £90.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Would you consider £90?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- God, I'm doing...- We'll get your arm and twist it behind your back.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- £90, who's going to shake on it? - Happy with that?- Yes.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08- Thank you.- Excellent.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12- We've got to bring that back now. - It's not too bad. It's not too bad.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Rache, come on. Off we go.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- Bloomin' 'eck.- Crack on.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19That might be heavy, but at £90,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22it's a load off the £150 asking price.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25That's one in the bag in five minutes.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Have the Reds settled in yet?
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- There's so much to see.- I know. It's deciding what direction to go in.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34I had a good battle plan when we started,
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- and it seems to be changing as we're walking around.- Yeah.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Always good to be adaptable, Reds.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42We could do two things. We can either go for a wander this way,
0:08:42 > 0:08:45take in all these trestles, and maybe then make a dash for the inside
0:08:45 > 0:08:48where you have got the bigger and more expensive things.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- OK, that sounds good.- Shall we? - Dash down this way? Follow me. OK.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Whilst the Reds can't see the wood for the trees,
0:08:55 > 0:08:57are the Blues still in the swing of things?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01- Whoo.- That's not bad.- You've got a swing on you, haven't you?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03He goes golfing enough to practise enough.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Yeah, I'm sure he does.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- You've got to send me out of the house to practise.- 18.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11They're nice, but I think they are only getting about £10.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- So I think we'll leave it.- No, you're not playing, we're filming!
0:09:15 > 0:09:19- We've got work to do.- If you carry on...- No, leave it!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Nice try, Duncan. Reds, are you about to strike your first deal?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So, anything novel at all? Anything interesting, a bit different?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31That's a little different. That's 1920, I think, that's hallmarked.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33And what's nice about it,
0:09:33 > 0:09:35it's still got the original matches inside.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Have a handle of it.- I love that. - Have a look.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- GREG:- Vesta case? - Yeah, exactly.- Wow.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44- Can I have a look?- Yeah.- Thank you.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47Obviously you've got a silver vesta case or vesta box.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Forms a matchbox sleeve. But you've also got this wonderful box,
0:09:51 > 0:09:54where you have got on the back the old advertising. Bryant & May.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58So the people which would buy this, I guess, would be
0:09:58 > 0:10:00collectors of vesta boxes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- You've got silver collectors as well.- Silver.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04What do you look for first of all?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- It's got the hallmark on it. - Lovely. Yeah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Hallmarked for Birmingham, and the date code - 1920.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- You're talking George V.- Yeah.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15The Deco period, the birth of the Art Deco.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18- And it's just a little jewel. But it comes down to...- Price.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Price. Yeah.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I can do it for 70.
0:10:22 > 0:10:28- My instinct is... I can see it now - 45, 48.- Right.- 50. Sold.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31If you want to take a gamble, based on its rarity...
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- It is beautiful, isn't it? - Have a think. Have a walk over here.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- You guys talk about it, OK? - You are a bit reluctant, aren't you?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- I am slightly reluctant, yeah. - And 70 is the very, very best?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- Very, very best.- 65?- I'll meet you halfway and do 68. There you go.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Is that going to help us at all?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50No?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55It's not going to make us a profit, is it?
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- We have also had half an hour. - We've had half an hour.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02- We need to make a decision.- It's a funny old business.- Let's do it.- OK.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- Oh...- No, no?- I feel like... - Hold on, have a quick peek.
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- Nothing else on your stand? SELLER:- Gone all wobbly-kneed?- No.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I've got a wooden leg. There we go. - It's your choice.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- This can be your item.- Let's do it. - Take a chance, eh?- Take a chance.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- No problem. Do you want that...? - Shake his hand.- Sold, there you go.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Happy, Greg?
0:11:19 > 0:11:21THEY LAUGH
0:11:22 > 0:11:26One down for the Reds with nearly 30 minutes gone.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- What about a pair of Deco bookends, Caroline?- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- They're only tiny little ones. - Oh, they're marble.- Yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Little marble ones.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38They are in the shapes of books, aren't they, on the other side?
0:11:38 > 0:11:41They could be French, you know. They're quite nice.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- They are quite nice, aren't they?- They work quite well.- Yeah.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- How old do you think they are? - They are 1920s, '30s.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Very often they are embellished with metal figures, birds and things.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- These are probably better in some way...- They're plain. - ..because they're plainer.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Yeah. I think they're nice. - So they'd fit... Yeah, they are.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- In a kitchen with all your cookery books on them.- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- I think that would suit any household...- Let's see what we can get them for.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05A good variety of people would want them.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- It all depends on the...- What...? - SELLER: 12.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- 12?- Could you do 10?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- We've got to make a profit on these. - Be all right at 10?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- CAROLINE: Go on, then.- 10.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- SELLER: Go on, 10. - Be all right at 10?- Yes. Go on.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Superb.- Brilliant. Thank you very much. Yeah, we'll have those, thank you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Thank you. Excellent, thank you.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- They're nice. - Are you happy with those?- Yes, very. - Two down, one to go.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- About half an hour?- We've got about half an hour left.- Excellent.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Which gives us loads of time to try and find that third item.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Let's go for the third.- Brilliant. - Let's go.- Great.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Coming together well, Blues.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Are the Reds trying a different tack by moving inside?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39It's brimming with more stalls.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- I mentioned earlier about Royal Worcester.- Yeah.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44That's a thing which this firm does very well with.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Royal Worcester blush ivory. - I love the colour, the tone.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- I love that tone.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50They are quite out of fashion,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53but when they go home to Worcester they can do quite well.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56- Do you like them? - I do. I really like them.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- I love... The front two I definitely like.- It all comes down to price.
0:12:59 > 0:13:00Yeah.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Too much.- Wow, it's a lot. 125.- 125.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06125. In sale room today, it's probably worth more like £75.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- Yeah.- Too much.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Yeah, shame about that, Carlos.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Meanwhile, what have the Blues been drawn to?- Very unusual.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Fantastic looking, isn't it?- Wow.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18But how much money have we got, that's the thing?
0:13:18 > 0:13:21We've only got 200. We need to leave something for you to buy as a bonus.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- A pound.- Generous... We'll leave you more than a pound.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What sort of condition is it in?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28SELLER: It's great. My husband and son have burnished it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It wants a bit more finishing, but we didn't have time to do it.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- We haven't got 250.- Unfortunately. - That's our only thing.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37So we'd be looking for a slightly better deal should we go for it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- What do you think? - What do you call a better deal?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- CAROLINE: I think the budget is 199.- I think it is.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45SELLER: Oh, right, we can do it
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- for 199 and find you something for... - For a pound.- Something for a pound.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53- There's a challenge for me! - Lots of nice little things there.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Absolutely. I mean...
0:13:54 > 0:13:56I think it's a great one to save in the bank.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00And these words might come back to haunt me, but time is on our side.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03You're right. Let's go and see what's out there,
0:14:03 > 0:14:04see what we can find.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- If not, we've got this in reserve. - CAROLINE: Thank you so much. - Thank you so much.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10- We'll be back. See you later. - We've got 20 minutes.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13- Come on. How long have we got? 20 minutes.- Bye-bye.- Brilliant.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Thank you, guys. - I think that's a possibility.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- Or even a probability, isn't it? - Yeah.- I think so.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Yeah, it may be pricey, but it could be risky to leave it.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27Now, is this the real McCoy, Charlie Boy? Dare I say an antique?
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Isn't that nice?- Yeah. - Wow.- Like it?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- You can straightaway see it's old. - You can.- The age of it.- How's that?
0:14:34 > 0:14:39You can tell that it's asymmetrical across the top. It's not perfect.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Correct. The reason I like this is because is called delftware.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45So before really the English invented porcelain,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- we were making this in the UK pre-1750.- OK.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And this very tinny, whitish glaze
0:14:52 > 0:14:57- was imitating Chinese porcelain of the earlier times.- Right, OK.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00So this would be a Delft English bowl,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03and I would date this to around 1750.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08- Wow.- OK, so where were you in 1750, Greg?- I wasn't around!
0:15:08 > 0:15:12When it comes to delftware which is a very brittle material...
0:15:12 > 0:15:16- It's been stitched back together, almost.- ..you can excuse...
0:15:16 > 0:15:17You can excuse condition.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20And you can't quite believe on a really coarse pottery
0:15:20 > 0:15:23you would use metal rivets to restore.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26But they did, because back then it was highly admired
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- and highly prized. Do you like it? - I do. I like the age of it.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Why is it better than the first one we looked at?- Because...
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Because it's older?- Because it goes back about 130 years before that.
0:15:37 > 0:15:43And delftware, as a material, it's increasingly becoming more popular.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47- Right.- And rarer to find. It's a tin-glazed earthenware bowl.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Do you like it?- I do like it. I don't know if I love it.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- I know I actually love this one. - But...
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- I can see this making us some money at auction.- OK.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00- But how much do you think it would make?- It's priced at £69.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Sir, excuse me, one quick question.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- How much is your bowl? - The best would be 45.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- I think it's worth between £50 and £80.- OK.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12And I think it's a great object.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Do you think 45 is reasonable? - Made in London. Yes, I do.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Let's get it done.- Shake his hand.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thanks. We like it a lot.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26Deal done. That's item number two. And Charles finally has his ceramics.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Will his wisdom pay off?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32We need to start looking at stuff rather than just walking.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Come on, then. Off you trot.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38It's not as easy as you think, is it?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- It's not, is it? Not within the time either.- Which is pressing.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43So, what's the plan, Blues?
0:16:43 > 0:16:48- That one item that we saw for £199.- Let's see...- The drawers.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- The drawers.- The burnished steel drawers.- See that.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Or if we see something on the way back down.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- But we've got to be quick. - You certainly do.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You may only need one item but time's ticking.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01And the same goes for you, Reds.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03That's nice. Bavarian bear. Little blotter.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Do you like that?- Yeah, so what is it? What is it for?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09That is basically, you'd have had it on your desk set,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12many years ago in the 1890s, 1910 period
0:17:12 > 0:17:15if you were an Edwardian gent at your desk. It's a blotter.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18- OK.- To obviously blot your ink on the paper.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Best price?- 20.- Oh, my goodness me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Bargain of the day.- Goodness me. - Loads of profit in that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25What is that? Well, it's Bavarian bear.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Carved in the Black Forest in Bavaria.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30They were made for souvenirs.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Now to you, it's a handsome bear.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36The ears can be scuffed off and the nose can be scuffed.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- DUNCAN:- Is it in good condition?
0:17:38 > 0:17:39- SELLER:- Lovely condition.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- No damage at all, really, is there? - That's quite nice.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I would say circa 1900.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Not sure if they've always been together as one, do you?
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Yes, I think they have, because I bought them all off the same collection.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Did you? Fine. It's carved from the softwoods.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Look at the patination. Does that bear smile at you?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Yeah, he's got a smile on his face. - Yeah. Yeah. Mental note - £20.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- OK, we've got five minutes to go.- Do you want to have a little run round?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Run around.- Let's use the time... - OK, we're going for a run.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Cutting it fine maybe.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- A little bit of desperation creeping in now.- It is.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- I bet you get this all the time. - You think an hour lasts for ever.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- Yeah.- It really... - It doesn't, does it?- Very true.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24More haste and, in this case, more speed needed, teams.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- Right, we literally have four minutes to go.- OK. Let's have a good look round.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32No, Charles said only four minutes.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Anything here? Not really.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- Nothing, Charles?- Not really. Barrels,- barrels.- Barrels. - Not really.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43- We need to get going.- We're going to have to run. Come on, Duncan!
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- I've got a new knee!- Steady, then, Duncan. But you need to rush.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48You don't want to lose your drawers!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Nothing has leapt out, Charles.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53- No, it hasn't, has it? Nothing at all yet.- No, no, no.- Freya?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Anything?- No, I can't... Not at the moment.- We've got two minutes left.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- I think we might...- Shall we go for the bear?- Let's go with the bear.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Yeah?- Shall we go with the bear? - Follow me.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Speaking of bears, you're BARELY going to make it. Chop chop!
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Finally, the Blues are back at the stall where they saw their drawers.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh, no. Guys, it's gone!
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- Come on, we've got three minutes. - OK.- We have do something.- Right.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17Oh, no.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21That's the risk you take in this game. But you've still got time.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Two minutes left.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Oh, Lordy. I hope the Reds aren't in the same boat.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Going to go with the bear. - We're going to go with the bear.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- Yes, please. Yeah, we'll take it. Thanks a lot.- Wrap it for you?
0:19:31 > 0:19:35Yes, please. Even better. And that's it. Now we're done. Well done.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40Wow, that's a relief. Well done, Reds. That's all three items.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Who'd have thought the Reds would come home first?
0:19:43 > 0:19:47In the nick of time, have the Blues spotted something to dine out on?
0:19:47 > 0:19:51- Right, hang on. What is it? - What have we got?- 225. 225.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- It's too, too expensive. But... - We need...
0:19:53 > 0:19:57It's French, it's great. It's great condition. There's no damage.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- It's got the look. - It's got the look.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- It's bigger. It's enough for a dining table.- Right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- It's got to be cheaper than that. - Are you...- I'll see what I can do.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Do your magic, Dunc.- OK.- I actually really like that, because...
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- I think... The top comes off as well.- Yeah, it does.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- And these two come apart and it'll fold flat.- Yeah.- That's great.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- I can see it painted in a lovely cream.- Yeah.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- But it needs to be cheaper. - Right, guys.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Done the deal. Seconds left.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- 185.- Oh, yes! Yes!
0:20:23 > 0:20:25WHISTLE
0:20:25 > 0:20:26Time's up!
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- I'm a wreck!- That's it. Sorted, bought.- Fantastic.- Well done.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- Cup of tea?- Yes, please. Well done, you.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Crikey, that was close, Blues.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Let's check out the action.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44First up, the Reds invested £68 in this matchbox case.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Next they dished out £45 for the blue and white Delft bowl.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56And finally, the wooden desk blotter absorbed £20 of their cash.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59£20. You can't go wrong, can you, really?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- We're not likely to lose any money on it, are we?- God willing.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04So that's your pick, is it, Charles?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Tim, the last minute, and this bear gave us a growl,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09and it was the final whistle, and we bought it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Well, OK, it's a little blotter, isn't it?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Now, which is your favourite piece, Freya?
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Mine has to be the little match... the silver matchbox.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21- That's your favourite? Do you agree with that, Greg?- No. No, I don't.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25- Which piece is your favourite?- I prefer the bowl. The nice old bowl.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29- What is it? Delftware? - Tin-glazed earthenware.- Absolutely.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- Very early.- He's infected you with old ceramics!- Yeah, that's right.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Well, that's great. And you spent how much in total?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- 133.- 133.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- I'd like 167 of leftover lolly, please.- I've got that for you, too.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44This is a lovely moment for Charles.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Goodness me!- This is where you stride out.- That is no mean sum.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Well, good luck with that, Charles.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Meanwhile, why don't we check out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54First up, the Blues were drawn to water
0:21:54 > 0:21:58with this galvanised water trough for £90.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Next up, will these bookends stand up at auction?
0:22:02 > 0:22:03£10 paid.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And finally, will this French garden table be de rigeur
0:22:06 > 0:22:10or prove astronomique at £185 paid.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Incroyable!
0:22:12 > 0:22:13How much did you spend in the end?
0:22:13 > 0:22:19- £285.- Yeah.- Really?- We did.- Gosh. May I have the £15, then?- You may.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- Thank you very much.- There we go. - What I'd like is a prediction
0:22:22 > 0:22:24of what's going to bring the biggest profit.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27My prediction on the biggest profit are our bookends.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Your bookends? Do you agree with that, Duncan?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31No, I think the galvanised tank.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35- It doesn't sound so hot when you put it like that!- No, no.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38The retro... Anyway, which piece is your favourite, though, Duncan?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Same one. The galvanised water tank.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43OK. You don't agree with that, do you?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45I do agree. That is my favourite item as well.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I can just imagine it planted up with lots of nice plants
0:22:48 > 0:22:50in somebody's garden, so, yes.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Anyway, thank you very much. Now, £15, Caroline.- Thank you.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- There's a challenge there.- There is. But I know what I'm looking for.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- You wanted silver, didn't you? - Yes.- We did.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00It won't go far on silver, but I'll find you a little silver.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03- You'll find us a little gem. - Excellent.- I bet you will.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05And you're jolly good at it, too, Caroline.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09So good luck with that. Meanwhile, we're heading off somewhere local.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27This fantastic vehicle is one of the first motors
0:23:27 > 0:23:30ever made here at Morgan in Malvern.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33And I'm going to visit the factory
0:23:33 > 0:23:37where they're still expertly handcrafting motorcars,
0:23:37 > 0:23:40IF I can get it to go forwards!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Stand by! Forward.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Oh, yes. Ooh!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48In the early days of motoring,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50the Morgan three-wheeler became
0:23:50 > 0:23:53one of the most successful lightweight cars.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Today, Morgan Motors is the last-remaining family-owned,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59independent British motor manufacturer.
0:23:59 > 0:24:041,000 cars are built here every year, all assembled by hand
0:24:04 > 0:24:07by expert craftsmen and sold all over the world.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Martin Webb, the archivist and factory guide here
0:24:12 > 0:24:16is going to tell me a little more about the history of this motor.
0:24:16 > 0:24:17Well!
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- It's a hot little number, isn't it? - It is indeed, yes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- A lot of fun, isn't it?- Oh, loads of fun, I have to tell you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29- You actually built this car, didn't you?- I did indeed.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Well, I restored it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33The very first model didn't quite look like this, did it?
0:24:33 > 0:24:37No, it was a single-seater. A fairly primitive-looking device.
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Steered with a tiller.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41And not a great deal of bodywork around you at all.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43And certainly no seat belts.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46So it was quite an interesting machine to drive, really.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49What is it about this car that caught people's imaginations?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I think the fact that they were affordable more than anything else.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55It was the next step up to owning a car, which, of course,
0:24:55 > 0:24:56was hugely expensive.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59And most people couldn't afford a conventional vehicle.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01So Harry Morgan started the company when?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05The company was actually formed in 1905 with a little garage business.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09He built the car mainly as a little runabout for his own use.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12But loads of people saw it, a lot of other people wanted one,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14and he was encouraged to put it into production,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17the first car being produced in 1909.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Such was the demand for these simple little cars in the early days
0:25:21 > 0:25:23that the company expanded quite rapidly.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27And we moved to this bigger site in Pickersleigh Road in 1914.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30And over the years, the three-wheelers proved themselves
0:25:30 > 0:25:31to be such a good, reliable car
0:25:31 > 0:25:34that we then moved into the four-wheel cars
0:25:34 > 0:25:37when the three-wheelers were just seen as being just a little unusual,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39and people wanted a more conventional machine.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42The first four-wheeler came along in 1936, and, really,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45we're building a car very similar to that 1936 car today.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50Although, of course, we're now using the very latest engines and gearboxes
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and we've introduced a lot of modern engineering and modern materials,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57but still keeping the basic style of the car very much as it was.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Production starts with a basic frame and the building of the chassis.
0:26:02 > 0:26:07The engine and the gearbox are also fitted before the body is attached.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12The classic Morgan is still framed in lightweight ash.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Next up is the paint shop.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17And then they're trimmed with the finest leather.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21And what's the latest model?
0:26:21 > 0:26:23The latest model is the Aero 8 Series 5,
0:26:23 > 0:26:25which we're about to put into production.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27But just happens to be sitting over there.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Would you like to have a closer look? - Isn't that magnificent?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Classic line.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35We use a very modern process for that, just moulding the aluminium
0:26:35 > 0:26:36into shape by heating it
0:26:36 > 0:26:39and then blowing it into shape using air pressure.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So some of the parts of this car are made in the traditional way,
0:26:42 > 0:26:45others use the very latest techniques from the industry.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Well, it looks quite magnificent, I have to say.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- If you'd like to take it for a spin...- You betcha!
0:26:50 > 0:26:51See what you think of it!
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Right, then! This is so gorgeous, I'm going to have a little spin.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Off to Philip Serrell's saleroom.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Well, it's the first time I've been lucky enough
0:27:10 > 0:27:13to arrive at an auction in a fancy motor like this.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Now, Philip Serrell, how lovely is this!- Tim Wonnacott, how are you?
0:27:20 > 0:27:24- It's brilliant to be here in Malvern.- Lovely to have you.- Good.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Now, for the Reds, Greg and Freya,
0:27:26 > 0:27:30- their first item is the embossed silver matchbox.- Yeah. Sweet thing.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31Matchbox holder, really.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- How do you rate that? - I quite like that.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36It's Bryant & May. They predominantly made safety matches.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- If you're an ardent cigar smoker, it's a nice accessory.- Exactly.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- So let's keep our fingers crossed. - My view is it might make £50.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46OK. £15-£30. It should do the top end of that, I would think.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Well, it needs to. £68 they paid. - Right, OK.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- There is potential for recovery. - Yes.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Perhaps with the tin-glazed bowl. Now, how do you rate that bowl?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57I think in a way it's a different area of collecting for me.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00It could be almost an academic area of collecting.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05It's interesting cos if that was a piece of fine porcelain or whatever, the damage would destroy it.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08- But I think in delftware it's almost acceptable, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11I think that's going to make north of £50 really.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Good. £45 Charlie paid. Do you think it might make £100?
0:28:14 > 0:28:17Well, with a bit of luck it could do.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19But in your view it's Dutch
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- tin glaze?- Yeah, I think so. - OK, fine.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26And the last object is a bit of tourist ware from the Black Forest.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- I don't particularly rate this. - It's a stick of rock, isn't it?
0:28:29 > 0:28:33Absolutely. You went there, you got the rocking bear and you came home.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35It's a stick of rock.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- What did they pay for that?- £20. - There's a profit there, isn't there?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Should be. £20 or £30. Anyway, there we are.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44It's a rocky road, I would say, for the Reds
0:28:44 > 0:28:48and they may well need their bonus buy so let's go have a look at it.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Greg, Freya, how are you feeling...
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Good.- Good, thanks, Tim.- ..on this dazzling morning, hey?
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Isn't it lovely out here. Now, look.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57We've got a special bonus buy from Charles Hanson.
0:28:57 > 0:29:03- He had £167 of leftover lolly. What did you spend it on?- Look at this.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Wow! Crikey!
0:29:05 > 0:29:06That's what they call bling.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11- I'm genuinely impressed. I love it.- Me too.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14It's a jewel of the late 19th Century.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18- It's Swedish and importantly it's 18 carat, as well.- Wow!- Wow!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21What does it look like on? Let's pin it on, shall we?
0:29:21 > 0:29:23Cos jewellery is made to be worn, right?
0:29:23 > 0:29:27I would say, Charles, you've been quite brave here, old boy.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28It's a fine piece and I don't know
0:29:28 > 0:29:31whether the auctioneer has found out the maker at all.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I know it's Swedish but not much more than that.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Well, we'll find out from old Serrell in a moment
0:29:36 > 0:29:37when we show it to the auctioneer.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40But just tell me, darling, is it something you'd wear?
0:29:40 > 0:29:43I don't really wear gold but if I did, then definitely.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Better find out what he paid. Stand by.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I would hope the auctioneer might put a guide
0:29:48 > 0:29:51price on it of between 150-250.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56- I think it has legs. It cost me 165. - I don't know if that's good or not.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58It's in the middle.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00We'll think about the weight of it, as well.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's worth something this gold. It's always going to be worth something.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06OK, guys, just think it though. You don't have to decide now,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09you have to decide after the sale of your first three items.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13But right now, let's find out from Phillip Serrell whether he's
0:30:13 > 0:30:16done the research and what he thinks about Charles's bonus buy.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Here we go.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- There you go.- That's lovely, isn't it?- Bright and flashy.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26It's Otto Wilhelm Kjellberg or Jellberg. I'm not sure which.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27He's Swedish.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31And our man, who knows his jewellery reckons that at £150-£200.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I don't know what Charlie paid for it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- He paid £165.- There's a smidgen of hope, isn't there?
0:30:36 > 0:30:37More than a smidgen of hope.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41- It doesn't look overtly Scandinavian, does it?- No.
0:30:41 > 0:30:47It's pre that Scandinavian, clean, modernist look. But yet it's chunky.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- It's in ace condition. - Top condition, it's 18 carat gold.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54I think Charlie has hopefully got a bit of a winner.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Yeah, me too. That's it for the Reds. Cruising on to the Blues.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- The galvanised iron water trough. - Just my sort of thing, Tim.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06- This, I thought, was born to be yours.- I know. I'm so envious.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08You love the two-division galvanised trough.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10That's a particularly nice feature.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13It's a water tank from out of a field that you would have used to
0:31:13 > 0:31:14feed your calves any your cattle with.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Only bettered by a three-division galvanised trough.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19It doesn't get any better than that.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Exactly! And you would use that,
0:31:20 > 0:31:24cos I watched your recommendations on these things before many times.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26You'd use it as a garden planter.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- Or upside down as a coffee table between two sofas.- Good. So how much?
0:31:31 > 0:31:32£80-£120, I hope.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36£90 paid, they paid the right price thanks to Duncan who's pretty
0:31:36 > 0:31:37hot on this stuff too.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40He's watched a lot of your programmes, Phil.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Now, in complete contrast we have these bookends
0:31:43 > 0:31:46which are in the form of marble books.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48- I think they're a bit dull, really. - Do you?- Yeah, I do.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51You've got to put your books between something.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55What better to have some books in marble to hold your books up?
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- I just think they're not today's taste.- It's all down to the price.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Duncan paid £10 for that pair.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04He's not going to lose more than a tenner, is he?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Come on, £10 is cheap.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10They're not just slabs of marble, they are moulded as books.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- They should make a profit. - What's your estimate?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- I think we've got 5-15 quid on them. - Just as a tempter? Very good.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Moving on, something that will suit you very nicely is
0:32:19 > 0:32:22the painted garden table which is French, is it?
0:32:22 > 0:32:24I don't know what it is.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27We put £60-£90 on it and I think we overcooked it at that, really.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29What did they pay for that?
0:32:29 > 0:32:32- I don't want to tell you cos I don't want to spoil your day.- How much?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35The best thing is it's in your house colour scheme.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37How much? I'm trying to avoid telling you this.
0:32:37 > 0:32:41- I don't want to spoil your day. They paid £185.- How much did you say?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43- I said £185.- I thought that's what you said.
0:32:43 > 0:32:4660-90 you said and you think you've overcooked it.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51But if it's any reassurance, Phil, I think you're right. I would say £50.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55But that's Rachael, she's enthusiastic. She might be right.
0:32:55 > 0:32:56Very unlikely.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00In which case they're going to need their bonus buy big time.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06- Well, team, how about this sunshine? - Gorgeous.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Listen, the sunshine in our life starts with a bonus buy
0:33:09 > 0:33:13and you spent £285 which is quite magnificent.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16And Caroline only had the £15 so what did you do with it?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- You know you wanted a little bit of silver?- We did.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Or a big bit of silver,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24well with £15 I could only buy a little bit of silver.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- But that's what I did.- Wow.- Wow. - Do you like?- We like.
0:33:28 > 0:33:34That is silver, it's marked 925 but that, I think, is rather stunning.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- How much did you spend? - All 15, I hope.- I spent £9.- Really?
0:33:39 > 0:33:44£9 and that is a lot of silver for £9. And it's quite modern.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I would think it dates from the 70s.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- Does it sit well?- I think it does.- It looks good.
0:33:50 > 0:33:51I'm off!
0:33:51 > 0:33:54- No you're not. Back, back, back. - What do we hope for?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I think it's going to get £20-£30.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- We like that.- I think Caroline did well there.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02We were looking for silver and couldn't find any.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Preserve the thought cos right now for the audience at home
0:34:06 > 0:34:09let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's ring.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14OK, there you go, Phil. Silver, 925, not very old I would say.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- No, but it's what youngsters wear today, isn't it?- Yeah, it's Gothic.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20- I'm up there with the kids again. - Yeah, you are.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24That's going to make £10-20. How much was that? Don't say £185, please.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29- She only had £15.- Less than that then.- It was, £9.- That's all right.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31It's amazing what you can buy for £9.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- I think she should do well with that. - I think so too.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Something like that for £9 retail, I think is marvellous.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41Anyway, clever old Caroline. You taking the auction today?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- I am, indeed.- Excellent.
0:34:45 > 0:34:4745, 50, sir?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Well, kids, how are you feeling? - Good.- Excited.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- Very excited.- A bit tense.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57- Now listen, blue eyes, you ever been to an auction before?- No.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- Have you never been to an auction? - I've been to a few.- That's OK then.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05So you're going to take her by the hand.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- Yes.- And lead her gently.- Yes, that's right, Tim.- That's fantastic.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Your matchbox holder, £68 you paid. Here it comes.
0:35:12 > 0:35:17Bryant and May boxed matchbox holder. Bid me £30 someone.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Hallmarked silver. 20 I'm bid. At 20.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24- 25, 30...- Come on.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2835, 40. £40.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33- At 40, one more on the net.- Yes!
0:35:33 > 0:35:40Try one more. 45 on the internet. At £45 and done. Thank you.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45- £45 is minus £23. - Could have been worse.- Absolutely.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49Better than £15-£30 estimate. Next it's your tin based bowl.
0:35:49 > 0:35:54Really lovely Delft bowl. And I'm bid £50 starting.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5850 bid, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110.
0:35:58 > 0:36:03I've got 110 here. At 110, 120, 130 now.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09At £130, only. Any more? At £130 and I say...
0:36:09 > 0:36:14- It's worth 130, is what it's saying.- Thank you.
0:36:14 > 0:36:19£130, that's five off 50. Add 50 and 30, that's 80. That's plus 85.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Look out, here comes the bear.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Little Black Forest bear. Bid me for that. Who's got £20 to start?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- Black Forest bear, £20. 20 I'm bid, at 20.- Come on!
0:36:30 > 0:36:36At 20 and five. 25 and 30 and five and 35. There's the bid.
0:36:36 > 0:36:42At £35 only. Any more? At £35 and done. Thank you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:50Did he sell it for £35? Plus 15. You had 62, 72, you got plus £77.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Wow!
0:36:52 > 0:36:56Listen, kids, £77 is folding money.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00That goes in the back pocket and that is yours to take home.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Or you go with this Swedish jobbie.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- Yes or no?- It's big money. - You don't have to.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Do you want the money or not?
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- 77. Do you want to risk it for a biscuit?- Go with it.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20- I trust Charles.- You've never been to an auction before?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23You're going to risk it? Here it comes.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26This really lovely Swedish gold brooch.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29- I'll bid you 150. - Does that mean two?
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- There's the bid at 150.- Come on. - At 150, take him on somebody.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38At £150 only. There's the bid in the corner.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41At £150, any more at all?
0:37:41 > 0:37:46At £150 I sell to the maiden bid and done then at 150.
0:37:46 > 0:37:47And done, thank you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:53£150. Nobody is going to crab you about that. It's minus £15.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56You got plus £62.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Listen, plus 62 could be a winning score.- Yes.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03Let's not mess about here. That's an achievement.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04Be proud.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Don't tell the Blues. - We won't say a word.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12At 250, 250.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Are you excited?- Very.- Are you? How excited, Rach?
0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Massively.- And anxious. - What are you anxious about?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- Our last buy.- The table.- Really?
0:38:28 > 0:38:33- That garden table for £185 was quite a number, wasn't it?- It was.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- I know it's blue.- French. - And it's French.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- It was a last-minute buy, wasn't it? - Very last minute.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42You know what it's like, but in haste, and repent at leisure.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- You paid £185 for that table.- Yes.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48The auctioneer thinks on a good day you might get 60-90.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- Perhaps he has a magic wand. - He might have.
