0:00:02 > 0:00:05We're in Leominster in Herefordshire
0:00:05 > 0:00:09and this splendid 400-year-old building
0:00:09 > 0:00:11is called Grange Court
0:00:11 > 0:00:15and originally it was the butter market and it stood
0:00:15 > 0:00:20about half a mile away in the middle of the town, but in the middle of the
0:00:20 > 0:00:2619th century, it was deemed a traffic hazard and was reassembled here.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Let's hope that the only hazard that we encounter today is
0:00:30 > 0:00:36getting our teams around Leominster's antique shops in only an hour.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39Ha! So, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Yeah!
0:01:08 > 0:01:11As usual, each of our teams have ?300
0:01:11 > 0:01:14and an hour in which to bag their three bargains
0:01:14 > 0:01:15before they head off to auction
0:01:15 > 0:01:18so let's take a sneaky peak as to what's coming up.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22The Reds get carried away...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Hold tight. Ready?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26SHE SCREECHES AND LAUGHS Let's go. Come on!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28..the Blues forget they're a team...
0:01:28 > 0:01:3035?
0:01:30 > 0:01:31What about your partner?!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Isn't she? Oh, yeah. Sorry.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34I got carried away.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37..and it's excitement all round at the auction.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39One more, sir.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40Yes!
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Well, before all that, let's meet today's teams
0:01:47 > 0:01:50because it is a truly family affair.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54For the Reds, we've got daughter and mother, Georgia and Fiona,
0:01:54 > 0:01:58and for the Blues, we have sisters, Karen and Catherine. Hello, everyone.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Hello. Hello. Smashing to see you.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Now, Georgia, you are currently a music teacher at a local
0:02:03 > 0:02:07secondary school but you want to change your career, right?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Yes, that's quite right.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12I enjoy the teaching, but I just don't enjoy all the other
0:02:12 > 0:02:13stuff that goes with it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15All that paperwork. All that paperwork.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17So what is your plan? What are you going to shift to?
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Well, my husband runs a bookshop online, a book dealership,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24and basically I'm going to assist him.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28I might do some supply teaching and possibly do some singing teaching.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32And do you sing yourself? I do, yeah, occasionally.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So do you have a little tune up your sleeve? No. You do!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Just a favourite phrase? Oh, uh... OK.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42SHE SINGS
0:02:42 > 0:02:45We want more! That is so sweet.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And terribly brave because you didn't know I was going to ask you
0:02:49 > 0:02:50to do that, did you? No. No.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Now, Fiona, you used to run a B in Bridlington. I did indeed, yes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55But now you're retired.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Does this mean you put your feet up all the time?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00No, I don't. What do I do? I sell books.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03So, books are a big part of your life then, Fiona. Yes, they are.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I suspect that you two are going to be going for books on the QT.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07But... No?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09She won't let me.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11She won't let me! No, because we don't have time.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13Yes, you do. We don't!
0:03:13 > 0:03:14I don't take long. We don't have time!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16I can look like that at a book and tell...
0:03:16 > 0:03:17She can't. Yes, I can.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I think they're going to get on terribly well together.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Well, we live in hope. Yes, always.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Always live in hope, don't we? Yes.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30Anyway, very good fun. I think you're very sparky, which is marvellous.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Now, Karen, tell me, what do you do as a job, darling?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I work for a supermarket as a security officer.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39So what sort of timescale do you work at in your supermarket?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I work an early morning,
0:03:41 > 0:03:45but then I also do night shifts as overtime with Cath. Oh, do you?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Just replenishing... You work there too? I do. Oh, lovely.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49Yeah, we work together. Gosh.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Now, you like to go to the charity shops a bit?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Oh, me and my mum love charity shops. Ever have any finds?
0:03:54 > 0:03:57My dad is more the one with the eye for the bargain, whereas me
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and my mum are just like clothes, shoes.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Catherine, what do you collect, darling?
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Well, I used to collect Disney.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I don't actually collect anything at the moment. But, yeah, Disney.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08I do collect children. I got four children.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Oh, do you! I don't know if that counts!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Now, it says here that you know about sign language.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Yeah, I did four years.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18As a child, I remember we had friends of the family who were deaf
0:04:18 > 0:04:21and I used to watch the interpreter
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and I was just always fascinated by it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25I think it's such an amazing language.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27It's beautiful to watch people doing it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29Yeah, so give me the sign language for 'let's go Bargain Hunting'.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32I mean, it may be wrong. Give us the version.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I'll do my version which is...
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Right, that's pretty cool, isn't it? Thank you very much for that.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44You'll get a few complaints if any of that was wrong!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Will you spend all your money? Hopefully. Probably. Well, yeah.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Just get out there and spend it, that's what I say.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Go forth and multiply.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53Thank you very much. There you go. There's your ?300.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56You know the rules, your experts await and off you go.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57And very, very good luck.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, this is going to be fun, isn't it?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03So, who are guiding our Bargain Hunters today?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05He is off his rocker.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Charles Hanson saddles up for the Reds.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10She'll turn up the heat.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Caroline Hawley steps out with the Blues.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16What do you like, by the way, Georgia?
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I like anything sort of pretty,
0:05:17 > 0:05:20anything that I could see myself having, probably.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21Something I just think is eye-catching.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24And you agree, Fiona? I tend to agree with that, yes.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26We haven't really got a plan, I don't think.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27We've got a set idea of what we want.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Hopefully something will jump out.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Mum and daughter, it's a match made in heaven, right?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Um... Sort of. Semi-match. Well... Yes. Yes?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Plan or no plan, we don't need one because we will win.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Excellent, I like this. As long as we beat the Reds. I like your style.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44The Reds have got to go down. It's all about the Blues today.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49Right, teams, the sands of your time start now.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Let's get shopping. Definitely. Come on.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Aw. Thank you very much. Cheers.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Ooh! Ooh!
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Take in the antique flavour, OK.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Hey, it's enough to make your mouth water, isn't it, Carlos?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Shall we go inside? After you, ladies. In you go.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Don't buy the first thing you see. No. OK? OK.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14That's you told, Fiona.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But your daughter is right, there's plenty of choice.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It is time that is in short supply.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22Now, here it's an antique centre,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25so a lot of the things are going to be behind cabinets.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29So the whole centre will have many different dealers in it.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31OK, I didn't realise that. No.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We should publish our experts' advice,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36although books are a no-go for the Reds.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37They've got an Alice In Wonderland.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39No, we're not looking at books.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41But the Blues have found one that has caught their eye.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45This looks interesting, this book. Oh, what have you found?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47'A Wonderful Scrapbook Of Social History'.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49How much? 155.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I wouldn't want to pay anywhere near that much.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53How much would you want to pay?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I think it would have to be really good. Say 50 or under.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57But they're not going to go down to that, are they?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That's what I would've said. I'd pay 50 quid.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I wouldn't have thought so, but I'll go and ask.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04All I can say is good luck, Caroline.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Back to the Reds.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Mum, look. That's really pretty. It is, isn't it?
0:07:09 > 0:07:12But it doesn't have a price, that means it's going to be expensive.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Is it the pendant you're looking at here? Yes. No price on it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Shall we mental note it? On our journey? Yes, please.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Pretty things. That's nice. Georgia, the opera glasses.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Oh! Look! Aren't they nice? They're mother-of-pearl.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Is that mother-of-pearl? It could be mother-of-pearl.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26And I think what's nice is they're in the original box.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29?19. I think you're right, that's ?19. I think it's ?19.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's nice. I like that. So that would be ?19 then.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33If they are ?19, that's quite cheap. Yes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I like your style already. Thank you. Good.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Well, the Reds seem to be getting on...for now.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42So, we're already at 15 minutes and over the road,
0:07:42 > 0:07:47the Blues are hoping for some money off this ?150 book.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Perhaps she'd knock 20 off, would that be any good?
0:07:49 > 0:07:50I could go and check with her.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54I think it's going to be too much money and I don't think we would win
0:07:54 > 0:07:55if we spent anywhere near that amount on it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I don't think we would. I think we'd lose the money.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59CAROLINE: Beautiful book, though.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yeah, it is lovely. Thank you for that. Pleasure.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Very polite but straight to the point. A bit like the Reds.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I don't like it. Do you not? No. No.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Do you like it? No. It's OK.
0:08:10 > 0:08:11Say how you see it.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13THEY LAUGH And don't worry about me.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14I'm here for the ride, OK? OK.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17I think it could be a bumpy one, Carlos.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19I'll show you what I've seen down here. What?!
0:08:19 > 0:08:21There's another one, as well. What?! The horses.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23The horses? But, mum...
0:08:23 > 0:08:26I wasn't sure about bronze.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27Is it a paperweight?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29More of an ornament for your mantelpiece,
0:08:29 > 0:08:34and what you look for is something in a high-quality metal like silver
0:08:34 > 0:08:36or named and inscribed, so it has a real history.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38So, what you're saying is don't go bronze. Possibly not. No.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41This isn't the cabinet for us. Let's keep going.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I propose we just keep walking on. Yes.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45The Blues are on the move too, Mr Hanson.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47And they are heading your way.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53We've done 24 minutes. I don't want to put pressure on you.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Too late, it's on. But be pressured! Go!
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'm sure I can hear Caroline Hawley's voice
0:08:59 > 0:09:01from somewhere. I think the Blues are here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03No, because what if they get the stuff that we like?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Oh, uh...
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Can we find out price of that pendant? I'm having a panic.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08The first thing we saw? Yeah.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Just so we know so we can rule it out if it's too much.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12It's around here, isn't it?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14They'll need someone from the centre to get that one out for them.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Stan?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Oh, are you over there? There's a pendant, sir, in this cabinet.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23We can't see a price but my team are slightly concerned it
0:09:23 > 0:09:25might be gobbled up by our rival Blues.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27And we've got to win, you see.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Here's the pendant and here's the price. How much?
0:09:29 > 0:09:30?785.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33THEY LAUGH That's why I like it!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I tell you what, mum and daughter, you have good taste.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38We have good taste! So, what's the best price you could do that?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40THEY LAUGH
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I can't believe that! It's time to move on. Come on, ladies. Follow me.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Thanks a lot, Stan.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Stan is the man. Come on, you lot.
0:09:48 > 0:09:5030 minutes gone and you have yet to spend a penny.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Can I suggest you do what I've done
0:09:52 > 0:09:55and put your own stamp on these shops?
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Well, isn't this fun? We never do stamps on Bargain Hunt.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09The first thing that got me going with this lot
0:10:09 > 0:10:13happened to be the stereoscopic viewer. What is it?
0:10:13 > 0:10:18Well, that is what I asked the dealer and he wasn't too sure.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It's obviously a stereoscopic viewer
0:10:21 > 0:10:24because it has got two lenses inset into a frame
0:10:24 > 0:10:28and the two folding legs are set out at that distance
0:10:28 > 0:10:31so that what you are observing on the table is
0:10:31 > 0:10:36perfectly in focus when you come to look at it through the lenses.
0:10:36 > 0:10:42He suggested that the thing might be a stamp viewer, which seemed to me
0:10:42 > 0:10:44a perfectly reasonable suggestion.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48And in the middle of the central bar is a vital clue, the maker,
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Casella, London.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Subsequently, I have been able to research Casella
0:10:52 > 0:10:56and I found out that they're makers of optical instruments
0:10:56 > 0:11:00that dates back to the end of the 18th century.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03This particular example was made specifically for looking
0:11:03 > 0:11:07at aerial photographs taken in the Second World War
0:11:07 > 0:11:11and for my money, this is a much more interesting object with
0:11:11 > 0:11:18a World War II perspective on it than simply being a stamp-viewing device.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22But, I wasn't aware of the research when I found the viewer
0:11:22 > 0:11:24and I set off on a bit of a mission.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26What sort of stamps could I find?
0:11:26 > 0:11:29And sure enough, I found this lot.
0:11:29 > 0:11:3223 Victorian Penny Reds stamps.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Now, the earliest stamp is this one.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38It's addressed to Dr Moore, St Anne Street, Dublin.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42No postcode, no number, St Anne Street.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47Apparently, the postman in 1858 was expected to make that delivery
0:11:47 > 0:11:49without any of that extra information.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52What the franked cover tells us is that it was
0:11:52 > 0:11:56posted in London on August 16, 1858
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and received in Dublin on August 17.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05So, even in the 1850s, it was possible to post a letter in London,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08it would whizz to Holyhead on the steam train,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12go across the Irish Sea, probably on the Steam Packet,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15and be delivered in Dublin the next day.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20Which I think, for 1858, is positively first-class.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I just wish our teams were as fast.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23Look, Charles, look, look!
0:12:23 > 0:12:27There's only 30 minutes left and they haven't bought a thing.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29But maybe Steph from the Antiques Centre
0:12:29 > 0:12:30has something for the Blues.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35This is a lovely thimble in its original box. I love the box.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38It has literally just come in, that has. Really? Half an hour ago.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Has it really? That is a sign, isn't it? Oh, it is a sign.
0:12:41 > 0:12:42And it's silver.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Can I have a look at it? Yeah, that's really pretty.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Look at the little box. I love it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50I'm not sure it's the original case,
0:12:50 > 0:12:54but it's Charles Horner, Dorcas is the type of thimble
0:12:54 > 0:12:56and it is in great condition.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59I always look for signs of damage
0:12:59 > 0:13:02because silver is a very soft material and prone to damage.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Do either of you sew?
0:13:04 > 0:13:06No. And the silence...
0:13:06 > 0:13:08THEY LAUGH "No!"
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Now, how much does this thing need to be, please? Right.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14How about if we did that one for...48?
0:13:16 > 0:13:1848... And what about the other one?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20That one could be 30.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I like both cos I think... Ugh.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Salability, if there is two...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Cos it is only going to attract a thimble collector.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29OK. So the person is going to have two in boxes.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31What would be the best price for both of them?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Half price?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35How about ?70?
0:13:35 > 0:13:38?60 for both? 65 and it's a deal.
0:13:38 > 0:13:4065, yeah?
0:13:40 > 0:13:4464? Look, my hand starts going. My hand is going. 65?
0:13:44 > 0:13:45Elder sister, go on.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4765! Thank you.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49You have done your first deal! SISTERS: Woohoo!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Well done, well done you! That is because we are under pressure.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Oh, goodness me! I thought it was not going to happen.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58I know someone else who is feeling the same.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Dated 1801. It has got the date written on it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Yeah, isn't that wonderful? It's like painting by numbers.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Yeah, but we can't afford it. Look at all this.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08No, Charles, keep looking. With a discount, it could be 260.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Charles, keep looking. It is a great object. Charles, keep looking.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Don't you like it? No. OK.
0:14:14 > 0:14:15I'll walk on.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Keep the faith, Carlos. I am sure you will find something.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Isn't that wonderful? A 17th-century relief carving on oak.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Would you buy that for your home?
0:14:22 > 0:14:26No. I'll put it back for the time being. Put it back for now.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Oh, that is a lovely object. That is a shaving, a barber's bowl.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32So if you were a gentleman shaving in the 18th century...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I do like the idea, but it is a real pity that it has got a huge,
0:14:35 > 0:14:36whacking, great crack in it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40It is tin glazed earthenware and it is just so historically interesting.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41It is 240 years old. Do you like it?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45I do like it, I think it is nice,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48but I don't like to buy things with huge cracks.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Don't you think it is cheap at ?69? No.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52You are saying put it back, are you? Yes.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54You have met your match here, Charles.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I am finding rich pickings for you. But we are struggling.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Yes. I like the opera glasses. Can we go and have a look and see...?
0:15:01 > 0:15:05And just have a look at those? I like those at ?19.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Have a look outside the case and just make sure.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10They are quite steady, but if you feel you want to buy them...
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Well, I just think... You said we could make a profit on them.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Well, I think so. A small profit is still a profit, isn't it?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It is, but it might be very small.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20I'm sure the Blues can hear all that bickering down the corridor,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23where they have got something in the old pipeline.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25There is something we have already spotted.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Which I'm not sure if it is ivory. It isn't ivory.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Do you know what it is?
0:15:29 > 0:15:33I haven't got a clue. It is actually called meerschaum.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35The literal translation is sea foam.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39And it is a type of soft soapstone. It is a pipe, or cheroot.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44Can you see that it is missing an amber mouthpiece at the end? Right.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Collectability? Yes, the unusual ones are very collectible.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49Condition is everything.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52But the horses look to be in good condition, don't they?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Do you think it would make money if we got it at a good price?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Well, if it was a much better price, yes.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02Do you want to pop off and do the asking? Yeah, go on. Let's go.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Quick. Will do. Quick, time is ticking.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It certainly is. You have got 25 minutes left.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Now, have those opera glasses hit the right note?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15They are probably maybe more like 1920s, '30s in period,
0:16:15 > 0:16:16so not Victorian.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19We didn't think they were... I don't know. Well...
0:16:19 > 0:16:21We can't go off them, Mum! We can't go off them.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Otherwise we are not going to buy anything, are we? No, that's true.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Dan, what do you think is the best price on these? Let me have a look.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31The price we have got on these is ?19. Yeah.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I'll see what we can do about that. OK.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37The fact we've had now... Well, 25 minutes to go.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39We have bought nothing yet.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42You almost think it has got to be one of those emergency buys.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The best price I can do on these is ?15.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47That is what you thought originally, isn't it, 15?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50You don't like them, do you? Shall we rock, paper, scissors?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52If you win, we don't get them. One, two, three.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Four.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57We don't get them. We don't get them. Oh, dear, oh, dear.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I've changed my mind, go on, have them.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04OK, you sure? Yes, I'm sure. Right, that would be lovely. ?15.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07OK, so fingers crossed somebody likes them. Yes. Exactly.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Feeling happier now? Yes. A little bit. Good. Yes.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Me too. About time you bought something.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I wonder if the Blues will be next.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Before we get it out of the case,
0:17:19 > 0:17:21what is the best price you can do on the pipe?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I'll tell you now, we are looking for around ?30.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Just so that we don't waste any time.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Really?!
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Since we already bought something, brilliant customers.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31A lot depends on that. I would have said 50.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33I don't really think I can go 30.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Can we not go a little bit more?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37I'd like you to buy it cos it is a nice thing.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38It is. 35?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40What about your partner?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Oh, yeah! Sorry.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43I got carried away.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Do you think we'd make money on it if we got it for 35?
0:17:46 > 0:17:49How about 32? I'm happy with... Are you happy with 32?
0:17:49 > 0:17:51Yes. If that's what you like, yes.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Yeah, happy? Lovely. We'll have that. Right. Do you think?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah. No, no, you are both happy, it is your buy.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01Your second buy is done. Deal, thank you. Another one.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02Thank you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Bravo, Blues. Two down and one to go.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07With 20 minutes left,
0:18:07 > 0:18:11the Reds have gone elsewhere to track down their last two items.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13We have got to be quick!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15OK? Cos we have spent ages. Ladies first.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Spinning wheel. What do you think?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I think it is almost a reproduction
0:18:22 > 0:18:25but carried out in an early Victorian style.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Saying that, how much is it? 95. That is quite cheap.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30I think that is. If you could buy it for maybe 70...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32But it could make 100 on a good day.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34So, on a bad day, it could stitch you up at the auction.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38But there is no time for naval glazing,
0:18:38 > 0:18:39unless you are the Blues.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43From a purely female selfish point of view, a uniform.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Do you like uniforms, then?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Do you? What sort of uniforms do you like?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49Do you know, my favourite is traffic warden.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Traffic warden?! I know!
0:18:51 > 0:18:54She's a weirdo. Thanks(!) You like traffic wardens?
0:18:54 > 0:18:55Maybe it is because you're not supposed to,
0:18:55 > 0:18:57that is why I can't help it.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Lordy! Let's park that conversation, shall we, Blues?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03You will make me go red. Talking of which...
0:19:03 > 0:19:07The other thing I like are the little set of tables down there.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Oh, they are nice.
0:19:08 > 0:19:12Now, why do these appeal to you? Just because they look like quality.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15You are quite right. Look at that quarter veneering in the timber.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Probably again 1950s in period.
0:19:17 > 0:19:18And also look at the rim as well,
0:19:18 > 0:19:22this raised cartouche frame to the tables.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25They're not a quartetto, they are three. There's three.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26But the quality is very good.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30They're what you might call Queen Anne style, in a burr walnut.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34And I am surprised, actually. They are not a lot either, at ?45.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Where is Georgia, by the way?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Georgia? Georgia, where are you? Yeah. These are quite good, Georgia.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Do like these tables? Yeah, they are nice. What about these ones?
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Oh, they are nice. Would you make money on them?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47You need to really get some more to make money.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49All right, OK. So what do you like, Mum? I like the tables.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54Would you have these in your house? Yes. Hallelujah! Give me a hug.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Give me a hug. I don't believe it!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Say thank you to your mother. I'm made up! No, you're right, Mum.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Can we see if we can get a little bit off? All right, OK.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04All right, shall we ask the chap? Go on, then.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Hello, Mr Shopkeeper!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08If you are looking for a good deal, Reds,
0:20:08 > 0:20:10the Blues have some advice on how to bag one.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And always be positive. Yes. Assume you're going to get the sale. Yes.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17Like we assume the Reds are going to go down because we are going to win.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19So, obviously, that is what'll happen.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21What do you say to that, Reds?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Or are you too busy persuading Matt, the shopkeeper, to do you a deal?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27They could be 40 quid.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29And that really is... Not 35?
0:20:29 > 0:20:3137.50?
0:20:31 > 0:20:3438 quid. 38? OK. Let's go, we'll do it. That's it.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Thank you very much. There you go. Well done, Reds.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41But there is only ten minutes left to find your last item. Any brain waves?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43The spinning wheel is one. What else, Fiona?
0:20:43 > 0:20:44We could go back and get the shaving thing.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Would it sell, though, with a crack in it? I don't know.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Mum, I don't know. You have got to decide. Why have I got to decide?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Well, someone needs to.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53With the pressure building,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56how is the hunt for buy number three working out for the Blues?
0:20:56 > 0:20:59It looks like the sort of thing that was in my gym at school.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00Yonks old.
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Cheeky.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03THEY LAUGH This is our expert helper.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08Oh, dear! What about that wooden cabinet behind you? That?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It's all right. I think we're clutching at straws here.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11I don't like it. Move on.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Move on. We need to move on and be quick.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18We've still got six minutes to go, so it's not all lost yet.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20We have a quick wander around here, you never know,
0:21:20 > 0:21:22something might jump out at us in here.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Have we got time to get back there for the shaving mug? Probably not.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Tick tock, eh. Five minutes left.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32If we ran, we could. You can't run. You can. OK, all right. All right.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35We are going to get the shaving thing. Are you sure? BOTH: Yes.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Shall I carry you? Can you?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Well, I can try. Hold tight. Ready?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42SHE SHOUTS Come on, let's go.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Who is taking the lead? I'll go!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49OK, you hold my arm and we'll walk together.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54What have you found? Not another uniform or traffic warden?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Ta-da! Ahh.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Oh, my goodness, a spinning wheel. I want you to try it.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02You want me to have a go? Yeah, have a go on it. Aw. Oh, that's nice.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06How old did you say it is? It looks 19th century.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08It's made of oak, I would say.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Some of the bits might have been replaced.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14But it's generally, you know, it's a working model.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Yeah, I'd love to have a go. Would you? Yeah. Well, take a seat.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20If someone would buy it to actually make something.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Somebody could well buy it to use it. Yeah.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I don't know the price. How much is it? It's quite expensive. 245.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Shall I just go in at 100?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30THEY LAUGH Ohh, she's at it again!
0:22:30 > 0:22:33We might as well. If I put a bit of pressure and say,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35"Look, we've got a couple of minutes."
0:22:35 > 0:22:37That applies to you too, Reds.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42Run! You've got two minutes. Time is the essence.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43And counting.
0:22:43 > 0:22:44Here's the problem.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47We literally just been told we're down to our final minutes now,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51so we haven't got time to barter and do all of that stuff.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So I've come up with a brilliant offer. Well, we thought ?100.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57How much is on it? 245. SHE LAUGHS
0:22:57 > 0:22:59?100 cash, right here and now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I think we'll have to go a bit more than that. 105?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06120. 120, 120... 110 and it will be a deal.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09110? Yeah!
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Well done, Blues. That's your shop all sewn up.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16But, it will be a close shave for the Reds. Hello, Stan.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19We are back again hoping to do some business.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22We've got about 30 seconds. All right, I'll do as good I can.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23It's 69.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25What's the best you can do for us, Stan?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28We could shave that down to ?50. Ooh.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31What do you think you? I think it's a really nice object.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33But are we going to make money? Uh...
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I love it because sometimes you buy the object...
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Answer the question, Charles. Fiona, I like it. Do you like it?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41I'm with it. Daughter? Look at me, daughter. Are you happy? Right, OK.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43We'll go with it.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47If it came to auction, I would guide it between ?50 and ?70,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50and that's what I think it's worth. Go on, then. We'll have it, Stan.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Very good. Thank you very much.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54We've done it. Wow.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Right, teams, your time is up.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00That was an hour of all hours.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02We didn't need to be as crazy as that at the end of it. No.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Do we get a group hug for that? Oh, dear. Come on, team.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08There is still love here. There's a lot of love. Oh, I can't believe it.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Let's check out what the Red team bought, eh?
0:24:11 > 0:24:15They were just ?15, but will selling these opera glasses end in tragedy?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Could three be a magic number? This nest of tables cost ?38.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28And they got this glazed shaving bowl in the nick of time. Ha.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29A deal was done for ?50.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Hang on a minute. You lot look very happy with yourselves.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Did you finish?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Yes. All complete. Well, that's brilliant, isn't it?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40It was a bit close though. You had to run. I did have to, yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43And I had to run. Yes. We all had to run. Well, there we go.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Charles likes running. I do. You do.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Now, how much did you spend in total again? ?103.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51So, I would like ?197 of leftover lolly, please.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Thank you, Georgia.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55So, talking about your mind, which is your favourite piece?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I know it sounds a bit crazy,
0:24:57 > 0:24:59but I actually quite like the shaving bowl.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02That's your favourite? Yeah. Do you agree with that?
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I have to be honest and say the shaving bowl. OK, fair enough.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07Really? Yes, really. Is it going to bring the biggest profits? No. No.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11I think the... The tables. Yes, I think probably the tables.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You think the tables will bring the biggest profit? I think so.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16Charles, there we go. There's a tonne of money there.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I hope you'll spend it. Tim, it's a tonne of money.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19It also very frightening
0:25:19 > 0:25:21cos it's trying to find something that we can all agree on.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24THEY LAUGH And you can go with a laugh,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26what it represents. That could be a difficult challenge.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Well, it could be, in which case forget it, Charles,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31and just find something that will make a profit.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Never mind whether they like it or not. That's my tip, OK?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Well done, my boy. OK, excellent.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Now, why don't we find out what the Blue team bought, eh?
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Will two be better than one? These cost ?65.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Could their profits go up in smoke
0:25:49 > 0:25:52after buying this meerschaum pipe for ?32?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57And will it get the bidders in a spin?
0:25:57 > 0:26:00The antique spinning wheel was ?110.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02OK, well, that was fun, wasn't it?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Yeah. Very. It was great fun. Yeah, look at those grins.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08I love to see the grins, don't you, Caroline? I do.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11It's the grin that does it all, doesn't it? That's it.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Is it the grin that gets the reduced price? Yes.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17So, what did you spend all round then? How much?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19?207 we spent. 207.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I would like ?93 of leftover lolly, please.
0:26:22 > 0:26:2693. Thank you, Karen, that's great. Which is your favourite piece?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29My favourite is the spindle. The spindle is your favourite?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Definitely. Does the sister agree? No, I like the pipe.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Oh, you like the pipe. Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36And which is going to bring the biggest profit? I think the pipe.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Oh, I think the thimbles as well. You think the thimbles? Mm.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Well, anyway, good fun. And ?93 is a handsome sum for you, Caroline.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45What are you going to spend it on?
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I found a handsome thing that both these lovely ladies love. Oh. Ooh!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51How do you know they love it? Have they already seen it?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Well, they might have done. Oh!
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Ohhh! She's that coy.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Anyway, you better back up because we are going to be heading over
0:26:58 > 0:27:02the hills shortly to Malvern to Philip Serrell's saleroom.
0:27:02 > 0:27:03Thank you very much.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Well, how lovely is this to be in Philip Serrell's emporium
0:27:16 > 0:27:19in Malvern. Phil, great to see you. And you too, Tim.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23And we've got an unusual trio for Georgina and Fiona.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27First up are the opera glasses. How do you rate this lot?
0:27:27 > 0:27:29In terms of all shapes and sizes and materials,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31they are about as low down on the letter as you can get.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33?5 to ?10, I think. ?5 to ?10?
0:27:33 > 0:27:35That's the estimate, is it? That's what I think.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Well, they paid ?15. Ouch.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40And quite frankly, at this very low level,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44by the time you've taken 5, 10, ?15, you'll be at ?15 and they'll be fine.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45They should get away with it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47They were just cheap and cheerful in their day. Absolutely.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50OK, fine. Next is the nest of three walnut tables.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53And because they've been elevated like this, I can see there's
0:27:53 > 0:27:57two steel screws screwing the front leg onto the thing there, right?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59That's not a good repair, is it?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02We were thinking of keeping them back for our November 5th sale,
0:28:02 > 0:28:05but... Would that be a fire sale?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07That is indeed a fire sale, Tim.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09OK. Good. They're not good these, are they? Not really, no.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12We put a very optimistic 15 quid on them as a base price.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14?15 to ?30. OK.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17?38 they paid. Ahhh. Which is a big enough price.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21And I just wondered whether they spotted the steel screws in the leg.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22Yes.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26OK, fine. And lastly, we've got the bleeding bowl or shaving bowl.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28I quite like it. I think it's quite a collectible thing.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30We've put ?50 to ?80 on it.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Well, at first glance, the team were not at all keen on it. Really?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Nope. Charlie found it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38He persuaded them and ?50 was his entry price
0:28:38 > 0:28:41and you said ?50-80, so Charlie's right, really.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Yeah, I think so. It's got some potential.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44The problem, as usual with this, ceramics,
0:28:44 > 0:28:47is the condition is nick but it means, were it not damaged,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50in good condition, one of these could be worth 200, 300, ?400.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Absolutely right. Exactly.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55But basically, it's a high risk item and on that basis, they might
0:28:55 > 0:28:57not make it, in which case they're going to need their bonus buy.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59So let's go and have a look.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03OK, Georgia, Fifi.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06You spent ?103. Pretty miserable.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11And he gave Charles Hanson ?197 of leftover lolly, which is a fortune.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16Charles, what did you buy? I found it just for you two. Hold tight.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Oh!
0:29:17 > 0:29:22Really? Oh, what do you say to that?! I don't know what it is.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Do you like it? Feel the tactile quality. Oh, it's heavy!
0:29:25 > 0:29:26It's bronze.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28And he isn't marked,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31but there's a great man called Bergman of the late 19th century.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35He was renowned for creating and manufacturing
0:29:35 > 0:29:37these cold-painted bronze ornaments.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42And with that Arabian nature, I just feel he's got the exotic
0:29:42 > 0:29:43and he might do quite well.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45I like the idea of sitting on a Persian.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47It is a Persian rug, isn't it? Mm. Yeah.
0:29:47 > 0:29:48I think he's flying.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Just preparing for takeoff, isn't he?
0:29:50 > 0:29:52He's reading the instructions on how to take off.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55What do you think, Georgia? Well, I'm just stunned. Be honest.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58No, it's... I didn't think that's what you're going to get.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01I've gone down the commercial route. All right.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04What would you pay for that? And be honest with me. Oh, I don't know.
0:30:04 > 0:30:0790 quid? It only cost me ?150.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10And when you say only, do that mean you think there's money in it?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12I like it. I think it has potential. So, what age is it? Sorry.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15Probably 1880. Just think it through, all right? Yes.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17But right now, for the audience at home,
0:30:17 > 0:30:21let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Charles' bronze.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Right then, Phil.
0:30:24 > 0:30:25Oh! One of your favourites.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Well, he looks like Mr Franz Bergman, doesn't he?
0:30:28 > 0:30:31And his mark was sometimes just a bee and an urn
0:30:31 > 0:30:33or he wrote his name backwards so he's Nam Greb.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36His work is quite sought-after, it's not the best subject.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38How much? 100 to ?150.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40?150 invested by Charles Hanson.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Sounds tight on the money to me. He's had a go, hasn't he?
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Maybe the team won't go with that. Anyway, we shall see.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49That's it for the Reds. Now, for Karen and Catherine.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51First up are their thimbles.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Well, my mother used to collect thimbles and they are very much,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57I think, of that age of lady from the '70s and '80s
0:30:57 > 0:30:59who collected thimbles by Charles Horner
0:30:59 > 0:31:01and all sorts of other people and got very excited about them
0:31:01 > 0:31:02and they made jolly good money.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I don't think people today collect stuff.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I think young people today want statement pieces,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09they want clear shelves.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11They don't want stuff and if you don't have stuff,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13you don't have cabinets to put stuff in
0:31:13 > 0:31:17which means all of this stuff isn't quite as sought-after as it was.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19You could be right, Phil. What's your estimate?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22I think they will make ?20-?30. ?65 paid. Uh!
0:31:22 > 0:31:26What I like about them in mitigation is that they are in cases.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27That makes a big difference to me.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Loose thimbles, I think, are less desirable
0:31:30 > 0:31:32than nicely fitted cased ones.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Next is the meerschaum cheroot holder.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37No case and it has been smoked.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40What I do know about it is that once you smoke it,
0:31:40 > 0:31:43the smoke draws into the porous nature of the stone
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and it sort of stains it a much darker colour.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I think that is going to make an optimistic 20 quid, really.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50OK, fine. ?32 they paid. There we are.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55Now, can you believe it that Karen has harboured a lifetime
0:31:55 > 0:31:57yearning to buy a spinning wheel?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59And she has bought one. Yes, a spinning wheel will go.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01That's just fine and dandy, isn't it?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03I mean, we've put ?80-?120 on that.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07Good, well, they paid ?110. Your estimate is 80-120.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Let us see whether they can spin a yarn with that. Excellent.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13On the other hand, if it all gets tangled up, they may need to fall
0:32:13 > 0:32:16back on their bonus buy and let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Karen, Catherine, excited? Very. Yes.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24You spent ?207. You gave Caroline ?93.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27What did you spend it on, Caroline? Shall I show you? Yes. Yeah.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Whoo!
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Oh, yes!
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Do you like it? We love that.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34I do really like it. What do you love about it?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37THEY LAUGH
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Silence. Oh, let me tell you about it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43It is early 19th century, oak,
0:32:43 > 0:32:48beautiful crib on its original rockers, really great condition.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Somebody has put some metal inside to make it into a planter.
0:32:51 > 0:32:55So you can plant it up with geraniums or anything else inside,
0:32:55 > 0:32:56it would look rather splendid.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58It's definitely something I would buy. Is it?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01And what would you do with it? Baby in it. Would you?
0:33:01 > 0:33:03You've got a few children, haven't you? Yeah, I would.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05What, another baby?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07THEY LAUGH
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Possibly, but I would use it. It's lovely.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Toy and doll collectors would buy it. You could put sticks in it.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Wood for the fire. Yeah, I love it. It's beautiful.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17And do you want to know what I paid for it?
0:33:17 > 0:33:18Yes. ?80.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21That's really good, well done. Yeah, that is good.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23And I think there's going to be a profit in that. How much?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, it's got to get 120.
0:33:26 > 0:33:27OK, ?40 profit.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31We watched her lips, right? She said ?40 profit. We hope, right.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32It's got a good chance of getting that.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Anyway, you don't pick now. You pick later.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36But for the audience at home, let's find out
0:33:36 > 0:33:38what the auctioneer thinks about Caroline's crib.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Does this rock your boat?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Well, it does, actually. I quite like these.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46I mean, I would use that as either putting newspapers
0:33:46 > 0:33:50and magazines in, sticks, kindling, logs by the fire.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52The last thing I would put in there is a child.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54But I do think they are quite cool things.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Particularly when they are a nice colour like that.
0:33:57 > 0:33:58Yeah, it's a lovely colour.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00And that kind of plank form construction
0:34:00 > 0:34:01is just the best, isn't it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:04It is, and I think that is going to make ?80-120.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05Do you? Yeah.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Well, ?80 is what Caroline paid for it.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10She really rated it over in the centre.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13You've got to think outside what its first use was. Exactly.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Well out of the box. Thank you very much, Phil. Thank you, Tim.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18We'll see you on the rostrum in a minute, yes?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Indeedy do. Indeedy do.
0:34:22 > 0:34:2545, 50, sir.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Tim. Fiona.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31How are you feeling? Nervous. Are you?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Very nervous. Why?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Because what if something doesn't sell?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Oh, don't worry. Everything will sell for something.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39He'll sell it for a pound if he has to.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41But you've got nothing that's going to sell for a pound.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Anyway, first up is the opera glasses and here they come.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Stamped foreign. I don't know, who's got ?10 for them?
0:34:47 > 0:34:4910, I'm bid at 10. 10 bid.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50At ?10.
0:34:50 > 0:34:5210 bid. Come on.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54All bid at ?10.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56And I sell at ?10.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Oh, no. Go on. A bit more.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58Thank you.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Oh! That's a shame. Yeah, ?10.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03That's not good. Minus 5.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04The nest of walnut tables.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Bid me for those. Put them in the bidding.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Start me off. I don't know.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11I've got ?15 bid. At 15.
0:35:11 > 0:35:1420. 5. 30. 5.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15One more!
0:35:15 > 0:35:16You're out. Oh! 35.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21Any more? At ?35, I'm only bid. At ?35.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22One more. At ?35 on the book.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25At ?35 and done then at 35.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26And done. Thank you.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Oh! Minus 3, that's... Minus 8, overall.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Now, your bowl. Yeah.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Shaving bowl or bleeding bowl.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38Bid me for that lot. Nice thing.
0:35:38 > 0:35:39Bid me ?30, someone, quickly.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Come on.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Surely. 20 I'm bid.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Oh, it is a good thing.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47The bid is here at 20. Cheap lot.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49It is. But that's the auction,
0:35:49 > 0:35:51you see, you get bargains. 25.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5325. At ?25 only.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56At 25. Oh, it's a shame.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Net's out now. At 25.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00And done. Thank you.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02That is a memory. And that is a regret. Yes.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Minus ?25 means overall you are minus ?33.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Oh, that is not minus a lot, though, is it?
0:36:08 > 0:36:11No. But you only spent 100 on the three.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14Shh! Anyway, what are we going to do about the Bergman bronze?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Oh, loving it. Do you want to go with that? Yes! Oh, yes.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18You love it? Lovely. Really like it, yes.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20?150 paid. I don't care.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23You don't care. I don't care. I don't, it's lovely.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25You are in agreement with your mother? Oh, yes, yes. OK.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28I know, for the first time the entire time I've been here.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31OK, fine. We agreed! We're going with the bourbon bronze.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32And here it comes.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Bergman bronze. Who has got ?100?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Uh-oh. Oh, Lord. It's not going to go.
0:36:37 > 0:36:3950 I'm bid. At 50. 60.
0:36:39 > 0:36:4260. 70. 80. 90. 100.

0:37:04 > 0:37:08Here is the bid. At ?200. One more, sir.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10At ?200. And done, thank you.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13That is ?200!
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Well done, Charles.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Plus ?50.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18He had the faith. It's the excitement.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Plus ?17. Yay! You are plus ?17.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Thank you. Out of the depths of despair. That is amazing.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28We held tight on the rock. We did, didn't we?
0:37:28 > 0:37:32Now, listen, ?17 could be a winning score, couldn't it? It could.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34It could easily be a winning score. Yes. Wonderful.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Say nothing to the Blues.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39We shan't. Our lips are sealed. Sealed. All right, well done.
0:37:39 > 0:37:4125. And 30.
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Karen, Catherine, how are you feeling? Nervous.
0:37:53 > 0:37:54What have you got to be nervous about?
0:37:54 > 0:37:57In case nobody wants to buy anything.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59You think nobody is going to bid on anything? Yeah.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01That is gloomy, isn't it?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04You don't really think that now, do you? I hope not.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Right. Who knows? Who knows?
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Well, you're right, though, at the auction, you just can't tell.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Anyway, let's get going.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12The two thimbles in the cases, and here they come.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16The two lovely little thimbles, with their cases. Bid me for those.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18I don't know, ?30 to start, someone?
0:38:18 > 0:38:2020 to go. Two hallmarked silver thimbles.
0:38:20 > 0:38:2320 I've got on the net. And 5. 25.
0:38:23 > 0:38:2425. 30. And 5.

0:38:41 > 0:38:42They can't hear you, Tim.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45At 70. 70 bid. Perhaps they could. At 70. 70 bid. Yes!
0:38:45 > 0:38:49At 70. 80. 80 bid. ?80 only. 80.
0:38:49 > 0:38:5280 bid. Here is the bid at ?80 only.

0:38:55 > 0:38:59And I sell at ?80. And done, thank you.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02There you go. And you were worried. Now I feel better. That's better.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Now I feel better. That is plus ?15.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05That is the first
0:39:05 > 0:39:06of your profits, girls.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09?15. Now, the pipe.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Start me off. Bid me ?20 to go, someone.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22At ?20 only. Is there any more at all?
0:39:22 > 0:39:24At ?20. And done then.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26At 20, and done.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27Thank you. You got ?20.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32Oh, dear, it is minus 12. Means that you are plus three.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35Yeah, it is a pity that, isn't it? Now, here comes the spinning wheel.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37?100 to start.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39100.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Bid me ?80, someone.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4250.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Surely, ?50 for the spinning wheel.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46Bid me ?30, someone.
0:39:46 > 0:39:4830 I'm bid on the net. At 30.
0:39:48 > 0:39:4930 bid. At ?30 only.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Go on. This is not expensive.
0:39:51 > 0:39:55At ?30 only for the spinning wheel. ?30 is a gift.
0:39:55 > 0:40:00At ?30 only, at 30. 30 bid. Any more at all? I sell then at ?30.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh! And thank you.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I could cry at that. ?30.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09That was the one I was worried about. Minus 80, that is.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13Which means, overall, you are minus 77.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15OK, now, look out.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17You have got that crib, right?
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Yeah, we are going with the crib. Are you? Yeah. May as well, yeah.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22We have nothing to lose, have we?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24Well, you don't have to. No, I want to go with the crib.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27OK, we're going with the bonus buy. And here it comes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Really, really lovely crib. Good thing, this. Bid me for this.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Who has got ?100 to start?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Bid me ?80, someone. Bid me 50 for the crib.
0:40:35 > 0:40:3740 I'm bid. At 40. 40 bid.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42At ?40, I'm only bid. At 40. 40 bid.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44And 5. 45 on the net.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46It is going to be slow going.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49This is going to be painful. This is very, very inexpensive. 50 bid.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53Take 60 on the net, bid. Take 70 on the net, bid now. Cheap lot.
0:40:53 > 0:40:5880 on the net, bid now. Come on, come on. 80, may I?
0:40:58 > 0:41:03At 70. Go on! 70 bid. Is there any more at all? And away, thank you.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06?70. He did try, in fairness.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08He did. That is minus ?10.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12Which means overall you are minus ?87. All right?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Could be worse. Minus ?87.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I think you have a punt, I think you have tried really hard.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21And who knows? Minus ?87 could be a winning score.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24So lovely, these sisters, aren't they? It could be.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Anyway, don't say anything to the Reds, all right? No, I won't.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29OK, thank you very much. You have been marvellous.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32250.
0:41:40 > 0:41:41The tension here today is
0:41:41 > 0:41:44unbelievable between our competitive teams.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47The sisters, I tell you, versus the mother and daughter combo.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Have you been chatting about the scores? ALL: No. Not at all?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Well, that's OK. Because there is a bit of a gap.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55And I regret to say that the runners-up today just happen
0:41:55 > 0:41:57to be the Blues.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Aw. I knew it was going to be us! Did you?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Well, minus ?87.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Yeah, it was pretty bad.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07But such a good sense of humour and such a lovely couple you two are.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09It has been a treat having you on the show today. Thank you.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12A really lovely time we've had. Anyway, have you had a good time?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15Brilliant. Yeah, we loved it. Thank you very much for coming.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18But the victors go home with ?17.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21Get in! That is a five-pound note and a tenner there.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23And a couple of littlies coming up.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24She'll take the little ones.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I have to say that the team itself did very, very badly,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29because you made nothing on anything.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Until Charles Hanson came into the frame.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37With your Bergman bronze, which saved your bacon with ?50.
0:42:37 > 0:42:41Cos they were minus ?33 until we got to the bonus buy.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45But that staunched the flow, didn't it? Trust the expert.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I got lucky. Trust the expert. You got lucky!
0:42:47 > 0:42:48You were very skilful, Charles, well done.
0:42:48 > 0:42:52Anyway, was it good for you, FiFi? Very enjoyable. Was it? And Georgia?
0:42:52 > 0:42:53Yes, great time.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54Thank you very much.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59Anyway, join us soon - first of all, by having a look at our website
0:42:59 > 0:43:01and then joining us for some more Bargain Hunting.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03Yes? ALL: Yes!
