0:00:02 > 0:00:04The historic town of Brackley in Northamptonshire
0:00:04 > 0:00:06dates back to Saxon times.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09Its wealth reached its peak around 1300
0:00:09 > 0:00:10on the back of the wool trade,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14and it became the second-richest town in the country.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18The town later enjoyed prosperity as a stage coaching centre,
0:00:18 > 0:00:21and there are still lots of old coaching inns around -
0:00:21 > 0:00:22just like this one.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Oh!
0:00:33 > 0:00:37What?! It's research. The coaching inns, the wool trade.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I'm not here on a jolly. I'm here to work.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Today, here at the Antiques Cellar in Brackley,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12our teams have over 160 stalls at their disposal.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Each team has £300 and just one hour to bag themselves
0:01:16 > 0:01:20three bargains that will hopefully lead them to a profit at auction.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Things really heat up for the Red team.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29- Yeah, hot property.- Oh, my God. It's going through the roof.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And the Blue team are stuck for the right words.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34Which is a...?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- It's a... Sold! - THEY LAUGH
0:01:37 > 0:01:38It's a gavel.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41At the auction, it's hugs all round for the Reds...
0:01:42 > 0:01:44..and worried faces for the Blues.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48But before all that, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49We're all friends today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52For the Reds, we have pals Jenny and Millie,
0:01:52 > 0:01:54and for the Blues we have friends Nick and Mark.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56- Hello, teams. ALL:- Hello!- Hello.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58So, girls, tell me. How did you meet?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Well, we been very long friends in Young Farmers,
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and we actually work together.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06We work for the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution,
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- which is a farming charity. - Ah, the RABI.- Yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09- Exactly, yeah.- Absolutely.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11And I believe that you are
0:02:11 > 0:02:13a proper country girl to the core, aren't you, Millie?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Yeah, absolutely. So, we're farming in Northamptonshire.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20We've got 300 sheep, 100 cows and I also have some pigs,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and I enjoyed making sausages.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I imagine, being on a farm, you'd probably be in your wellies
0:02:24 > 0:02:27most of the time, but you also like dressing up, is that right?
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Yeah, that's right.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31That's one of our mutual...how we became friends, really,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34through the love of fancy dress at Young Farmers parties.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- Yeah.- I met my husband at a Young Farmers party.- Really?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Yeah. It was a fur, feather and leather...- Oh!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- ..Young Farmers party.- Look at you!
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I know. I never, never seem to nail the dressing up,
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- but obviously you two do.- Yes.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47I've got quite an extensive fancy dress collection.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49It goes beyond three suitcases full.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- What?- Yeah.- Really?- Yeah.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53My other half wasn't impressed
0:02:53 > 0:02:56when I brought those back with me when we moved in.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- So, Millie is a farmer's wife.- Yeah. - But you're farmer's daughter.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- That's right.- You're at home in your wellies as well.- Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I once owned eight pairs, so I had more than...
0:03:05 > 0:03:06Eight pairs of wellies?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Yeah, more than enough for every day of the week.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11You've also done some pretty wacky things in wellies, I believe.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14We decided that we wanted to do a skydive to raise some money,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17so we donned our wellies and they stayed on.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19So, you're obviously great friends.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21You've known each other for quite a long time.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22What are your tactics as a team?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Don't know. We're a good team, aren't we? We do work together well.
0:03:26 > 0:03:27- We like a good bargain as well... - We do.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29..so we're not afraid to haggle.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Brilliant. Well, very best of luck with your haggling, Red team.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33- Thank you.- Best of luck.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Now over to my Blues. Hello, boys. BOTH:- Hiya.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- How did you two meet? - Well, we met about 25 years ago.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Yeah, a long time ago. - A long time ago, yeah.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- You don't look old enough to have met 25 years ago.- 25 years ago.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45We played football out the front of his house,
0:03:45 > 0:03:46and that was it, wasn't it?
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- And you bonded.- Bonded from there. - Had a bromance.- Had a bromance.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- I couldn't get rid of him. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- Couldn't shake him off. - Yeah. Couldn't shake him off.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57But you are an army man, is that right?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I was, ten years ago. I left.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02But I joined straight from school,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and about four and half, five years,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07I came out and, yeah, started a family.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09You travelled quite widely with the army, didn't you?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Yes, I did, yes. I travelled.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I went to Kenya for six weeks, Botswana for six weeks.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I went all over Northern Ireland. I went to Norway, Austria.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- Went to a few places, yeah. - Fantastic. Wow.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Which is your favourite place?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Kenya was my favourite place of all time
0:04:23 > 0:04:25where I've ever been all over the world.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28You're driving past zebras and giraffes,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and you're just riding around and it's a different world.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33So, Mark, you have a more comfortable job, don't you?
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- Is that right?- Yeah, I'm a sales manager for a sofa company.- Oh!
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- So, do you just sit down all day? - Yeah, sit down, drink tea.- Yeah.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Brilliant.- Eat biscuits.- Oh! It's like a dream job.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47- Yeah. Get my feet up on a poufy. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Brilliant. I love it.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51But you also play football quite a lot in your spare time.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Yeah, I used to. Not so much now since my lad has been born.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- I go fishing a lot now.- Mm-hm.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58- How old is your son?- He's five.- Aw.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00So, do you go out fishing together?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Yeah. I took him a few times. He loves it.- Mm-hm.- He loves it.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Can't get him to sit still longer than two hours
0:05:05 > 0:05:07cos he gets a bit fidgety, but...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09I bet! THEY LAUGH
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So, you've been friends since playing football together,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14and you were best man at Nick's wedding?
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I was lucky enough to be best man.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's been one of the proudest moments of my life.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Apart from my son being born, one of my proudest moments...- Aw.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23..to be fair to him. Give him a bit of praise.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25So, what are your tactics?
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Cos obviously you played football together, you're a good team.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33Well, Nick is very impulsive and I'm very frugal.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Right.- I'm the brains. He's the...
0:05:35 > 0:05:39So, he'll want to buy everything and you'll say, "No, calm."
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- I'll be like, "Slow down."- Yeah.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45I like to look and think if I like it, I'll have it.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46That's me all over.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Very, very, very best of luck,
0:05:48 > 0:05:50but what do we need before we go out shopping?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Some money!- Money! - Some money, exactly. There we go.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55£300 there, ladies. £300 there, boys.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Good luck.- Thank you. - Your experts await. Now off you go.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01- Thank you.- My goodness.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05Competitive spirits all round. This could be an interesting one.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07And of course, our two competitive teams
0:06:07 > 0:06:11will need assistance from two trusty experts.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Guiding the Red team's sleigh today, it's Charlie Ross.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And let's hope she's not like a bull in a china shop.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22For the Blues, it's Catherine Southon.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Are you coiled up with excitement, girls?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Yeah!- Definitely.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Well, it sounds as if you are.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- What are you going to be looking for?- Ooh.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- So, we like vintage things. Something a bit country.- Yeah.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Sort of agriculturally themed. - Oh, an old tractor.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Yeah. Some tractor tyres.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Nick, what are you looking for?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- A nice bit of silver. - A nice bit of silver.
0:06:41 > 0:06:42Furniture.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Furniture. We're very decisive, are we?- Yes, yes.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Time to rock and roll, teams. Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Are you going to spend lots or just a little bit?- Oh, no.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- We like a bargain. - Well, let's go and find one.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- Come on. Work to be done.- Let's go!
0:06:58 > 0:07:00The Reds are straight on the case.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01- Love these trunks.- Yeah.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- You like that trunk, don't you? - I love the trunk.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07Look at that. Probably an old seaman's chest, I would think.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And it's either...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11It might even be cedar-wood.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It might even be mahogany.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's beautiful with the old metal bindings and handles,
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- but look at the price.- Yeah.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22£365. Move on.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Indeed. Case closed.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And the Blues are quick off the mark too.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Have they found that nice bit of silver they were looking for?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Is it silver? - That's what we need to know.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Is it silver? Look at the price ticket.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35Probably not.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38The price alone tells you that's going to be plated
0:07:38 > 0:07:40before we even pick it up and turn it over.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41- OK.- Right, OK.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44But I like your idea of silver. Why silver?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It's just instant profit if you get it at the right price.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Absolutely. I like the way you think.- Yeah, yeah.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Right, if you want silver, perhaps we should head towards cabinets.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Let's go.- Yeah.- Yeah? - Yeah, let's go there.- Let's go.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59These boys know what they want. I like it.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- It's got a hole in the bottom. - Oh, no!
0:08:02 > 0:08:03# Dear Liza, dear Liza
0:08:03 > 0:08:07# There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza. #
0:08:07 > 0:08:10- How much is it?- 38. - Ooh.- Yeah. Not worth that.- No.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- A bit dear for the agricultural girls of today.- Yeah.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15You've gone from one extreme to the other, Reds.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Meanwhile, the Blues are still after their silver,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21and Nick's spotted a sugar sifter.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Yeah, probably want to have a look at that, then.- What, at 295?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- It's a bit dear, isn't it? - Um, no.- Stop being impulsive!
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I like it. Do you know, it's absolutely super.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- But I think it's a lot of money. - It is a lot of money, yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Shall we carry on?- Yeah. - And then we always know what's here.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- BOTH: Yeah. - Let's do it.- Yeah, come on.
0:08:39 > 0:08:45You have expensive taste, boys, but remember, you only have £300.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Now, Mark has spotted something.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- See that bowl at the back? - Silver bowl?- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51- Like that?- Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54It's got a rim around the edge on the inside.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Oh, around the outside?- Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- The gadrooned border.- That's it.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- That's what I was missing. - That's the word you are looking for.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05- I was looking for that. - Do you like that?- Yeah.- £165.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Sheffield, 1930s.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09- Want to have a look at it? - Yeah.- Yeah?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10Mark wants this bowl
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and has brought Jim from the Antiques Cellar in to do a deal,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15but what about Nick?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- What do you think?- I like it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19And you like this little trim...?
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yeah, Mark's the one that wanted the bowl, so I think...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Oh, he's blaming it on you already
0:09:23 > 0:09:25and we haven't even bought it yet.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28He likes these bowls, so I think...
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Well, a decision, I think.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31No pressure, Mark.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Looks like this one is all on you. But what about the price?
0:09:35 > 0:09:38I honestly don't think you want to pay any more than about 100, 110.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- Right. OK.- But that's quite a drop. That's a big ask...- Yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43..to get a profit on it.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Hello.- I've spoken to the dealer.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Unfortunately, they only put it in last week...- Ah.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50..so the best they were willing to go down to is 110.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54- Would they take 105? - No, they wouldn't, to be honest.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I'm pushing it at 110, to be honest, so...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59108?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I need a win.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- Can we do 108? Yes.- Yeah?- If it'll make a difference, we'll do 108.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- All right, I'm happy with 108. - Are you?- Yeah.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- You're happy with that? - I'm happy with that.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Happy with that?- I'm happy with 108. - Are you?- Yeah, I am. Yeah.- Good.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- Excellent.- Good.- First buy?
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- Yeah.- Thank you.- Thank you.- You are bit of a negotiator, aren't you?
0:10:18 > 0:10:19Well done, team.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22With 30 minutes gone, that's your first item bought.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Happy? - Yeah. Buzzing.- One down, two to go.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Back with the Reds, and they just can't leave their day jobs behind.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Tell me all about milk churns, girls,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33because you can educate me here.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Well, they were the original milk collecting vessel really.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38I remember them, of course, from my youth.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- So, they're hugely popular now. - What do people do with them?
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Plants. Flower arrangements. - Yeah. Weddings nowadays.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46People use them as decorations at weddings
0:10:46 > 0:10:48outside the church with some flowers.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53£55. If we could get it for, say, 30, you'd be there, wouldn't you?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Penny from the antiques centre has some news.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- 40, he said.- 40?- Yes.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04- I don't know if it's going to make a lot...- No.- ..at 40. I just...
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Peut-etre.- Hmm.- Possibly.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09I'll tell you what we could do -
0:11:09 > 0:11:12just bank it in the back of our minds...if we get stuck for time.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- Yeah.- Shall we leave it like that? - BOTH: Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18So, it's a no for now on the churn. Anything else take your fancy?
0:11:18 > 0:11:19Goodness me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Look at that!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Oh.- Oh, it's lovely.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26May I say you look absolutely wonderful.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Hang on, that's a Scouts sign, isn't it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:31- We need the full salute. - It's a bit Allo, Allo, isn't it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Isn't that in beautiful condition?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36It is, although he was a policeman, and that's obviously naval.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- That's navy, yeah.- Yeah. A naval hat.- It suits me.- It does.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Beautifully made. Look at the braiding on that.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- Oh, wow.- That's nice. Are hats quite a collectible thing?
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Yeah, I think they are.- BOTH: Yeah? - I think they are.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51How much are they looking for this?
0:11:51 > 0:11:56Dix-neuf...cinquante. 19.50.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57I want to buy that for a tenner, really,
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- but I'll bet that would make 20 quid at auction, don't you?- Mm-hm.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Penny!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- 'Yes?'- Come to us again, Penny.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10We love that. Do you think you'd be tickled with a tenner?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- What do you think?- Oh. - You don't know, do you?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- We could, possibly. - Do you think we could?- Yeah.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- We could try.- We'll have it for ten, won't we?- BOTH: Yeah!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18# We'll have it for a tenner! #
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Shall we get it for a tenner? - Yeah. Let's do it.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22We'll have that for a tenner.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Brilliant.- Yeah.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.- Mwah!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Well done, Reds.
0:12:26 > 0:12:3016 minutes in and that's your first item bought, and at just £10.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Oh, I think it's a little bit big for me.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Looking good, Jenny. How are the Blues looking?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38One item bought. Happy?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- BOTH: Yeah. - You're too relaxed. Hands on hips.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Calm.- You've got to be happy. - Calm. Don't be too calm.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Argh!
0:12:46 > 0:12:47Unlike the Reds...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- Millie, look at the fancy dress! - Oh, my word.
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Oh, look. It's a beautiful...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Uh, Mark, you're not selling sofas now.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56I'd love this in my man cave.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- In your man cave? - In my man cave, yeah.- Would you?
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Well, dream on, my friend, cos that's got 350 on it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05We've already spent over £100. Come on.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Don't get too comfortable.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08We have work to do.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10You do indeed. And time is running out.
0:13:14 > 0:13:15Talking of which...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Let me take you on a journey through time.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Look at this little collection on the table in front of me.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31And it might surprise you to know that wristwatches
0:13:31 > 0:13:33are a relatively recent phenomenon.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36In the 19th century, it was very popular for a gentleman
0:13:36 > 0:13:39or a lady to be carrying around a pocket watch.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41We've got an open-face pocket watch here.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44We've got a full hunter pocket watch here.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46They would be worn suspended from what we call
0:13:46 > 0:13:48an Albert chain from your waistcoat,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51and you would be able to tuck your pocket watch away
0:13:51 > 0:13:53discreetly when you didn't need it.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Now, in the 1860s and 1870s,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58ladies started wearing their fob watches...
0:13:58 > 0:14:01They're slightly smaller examples of a pocket watch.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05..around their wrists, and they were known as wristlets
0:14:05 > 0:14:07and considered quite an effeminate piece.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Therefore, gentlemen kept hold of their pocket watches.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13But necessity sometimes is the mother of invention,
0:14:13 > 0:14:15and in the First World War,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19soldiers didn't have time to pull out their pocket watch
0:14:19 > 0:14:20and so they developed a method
0:14:20 > 0:14:23of strapping their pocket watches to their wrists to save time
0:14:23 > 0:14:25rummaging around in their pockets.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27The wristwatch was well and truly established
0:14:27 > 0:14:30and a regular part of our daily lives.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33This is a 1960s self-winding wristwatch,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37and these mechanical timepieces were a great favourite.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I love this, personally.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42It's a 1979 Seiko calculator watch.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Everything the 1970s businessman or woman needed
0:14:45 > 0:14:48on their wrist, of course, a calculator.
0:14:48 > 0:14:53A really fun, frivolous example of the development of the wristwatch.
0:14:53 > 0:14:54We are finding at the auction room
0:14:54 > 0:14:58that wristwatches are an incredibly emerging and very buoyant market.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Over the last ten years,
0:15:00 > 0:15:04we've found that they have increased in value 5% year upon year.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08And a little celebrity endorsement doesn't always hurt.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13Take for example the Rolex watch worn by James Bond in the 1972 film
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Live And Let Die.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20Now, that sold at auction in 2011 for £147,000.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Regularly, it would probably be worth maybe £3,000 to £5,000,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26but it doesn't always have to be the big bucks.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29These are still relatively affordable.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30This particular example,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33this Seiko calculator wristwatch here,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36you might pick up at an auction for £100 to £200.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40So, there is a more affordable end to the market as well.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Look for the quirky, look for the unusual.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Look for things in their original boxes
0:15:44 > 0:15:47with their original guarantees and certificates,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50and then you will find yourself a timely investment.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Back on the shop floor, and with over half their time gone,
0:16:02 > 0:16:05both our teams have only invested in one item each.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The Blues are as laid-back as ever.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Oh, wow! Tractor seats!- Oh! - Let's go try them out.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15And our country girls are as enthusiastic.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Oh. Oh, they're so comfy.- They are.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Oh, they swivel as well.- Yeah!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22These would be great.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26I've never seen two more excited girls in all my life.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- Tractor seats converted into bar stools.- Mm.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You want to have a look?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32I do. Oh, my...!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35They are not that ridiculously expensive.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- No, I quite like them. - Do you think?- Mm.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- May I?- Absolutely.- Mm.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43- Oh, aren't they good? - Yeah.- What do you think?
0:16:43 > 0:16:44- Oh, I like them.- Yeah?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46I really like them.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49- Uh, one thing I would think. - They go up and down.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53You would like to think that they are old tractor seats
0:16:53 > 0:16:55that have been put on a base.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I think that they're reproduction,
0:16:57 > 0:17:01that they have been made and they are modern castings.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03What about this pig, then? I quite like him.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- Millie, give us a lift. Let's have a better look.- Oh, wow.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I don't think I can quite make him into sausages, though.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- No.- If you made him into sausages, I wouldn't be eating your sausages.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13I can tell you that.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- I think he's quite fun. - He is. Look great in the garden.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Fibreglass, I imagine.- Yeah.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20He's modern, he is what he is, but he'd be a talking point.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23If you put that into a saleroom, people would talk about the pig.
0:17:23 > 0:17:24Yeah.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28- Pig price today is £67. - HE SNORTS
0:17:28 > 0:17:31I'll go and find someone and see what we can do. Okey dokey.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Lovely. - See if we can reduce that pig price.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Fab. What do you think? - Do you like the pig?- Yeah, I do.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- Shall we ask for 50?- Well, if we...
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- I think we want to get it for 50. - Yeah.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- So, let's go 40 and barter upwards.- Yeah, yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Good strategy, girls.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48If you can get it for £50, that would be a CRACKLING deal.
0:17:50 > 0:17:51The table's lovely.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54The Blues are still after the finer things in life.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Go and look at the price. - Yeah, I can imagine.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I mean, this one is 445.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Oh, no. £178. It's not. That's the phone.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05I think that's the phone, dear.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- It's underneath. 495, Mark. - 495, yeah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11£495 for a table?
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You do know that you're on a budget, don't you, boys?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Back with our Reds and it's time to talk money.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22These girls have fallen in love with a fibreglass pig.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- And what sort of pig is it? - BOTH: A Gloucester Old Spot.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26A Gloucester Old Spot.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29So, Penny, what's your best on the pig?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32The very best I can do the pig for is 45.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- ALL:- Ooh!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Oh, we were rather hoping for 40, weren't we?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yeah. Do you think you can do 40?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40No, I can't. Sorry.
0:18:40 > 0:18:4242?
0:18:42 > 0:18:44No. No. 45 is rock-bottom.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Oh! We do like him, don't we?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Girls, you like the pig.- Yeah.
0:18:49 > 0:18:5469 to 45 is a fantastic gesture, to be honest.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- Oh, I think so.- Let's do it. - Yep. OK.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Brilliant. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00'Well done, team.'
0:19:00 > 0:19:02Come on, girls. Keep shopping.
0:19:02 > 0:19:0537 minutes gone and that's your second item bought.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Let's hope he flies at the auction.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Back with the Blues and Nick has taken a fancy to a Masonic pendant.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Why on earth did you like that?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17I just got drawn to it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And surprise surprise, it's not cheap.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23It was just the colour and then the dove and the Buckinghamshire,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26and just drawn myself to it and just thought...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28I mean, Masonic things can be desirable, can be collectible,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31but would you want that today?
0:19:31 > 0:19:32I don't know.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35It's up at £120.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37What would you be happy to pay?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42Between 60 and 70, I think, would be a fair price.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Seems quite pricey. What do you think?
0:19:44 > 0:19:4665.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49That's what you would be happy to pay. Do you like it?
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- Yeah, at 65 I like it. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Let's see what Jim has to say.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59I phoned the dealer and she has had it for a little while,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01but she's willing to sell it for £70.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Without messing about, knock another fiver off and we'll have it now.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I'll be honest, she said that is the bottom price.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- Let's just have it. - I think we should at 70.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12- Yeah, I think we'll have it.- Yeah?
0:20:12 > 0:20:14- Happy with that? - Happy with that.- Yeah.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16- Deal.- Thank you very much, Jim. - Thank you, Jim.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20- Happy?- I'm happy with that, yeah.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21He smiling. He's got the smile.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23It's just cos I bought something.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Well done, Nick. That's your second item bought.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29But now both teams only have ten minutes left
0:20:29 > 0:20:30to buy their last item.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32No, we're pigged out.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Stay away from the pigs, Millie!
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Oh, what's Mark spotted?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Really like that.- What?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Which is a...?
0:20:42 > 0:20:43It's a...
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Sold!- It's a gavel. - THEY LAUGH
0:20:45 > 0:20:47A sold?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49In this business, we call that a gavel, Mark,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52but is it worth £67?
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Do you like a sold?
0:20:54 > 0:20:55I do like a sold, yeah.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Yeah, I like a sold for the right sale price.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00THEY LAUGH
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Well, it's up for £67,
0:21:03 > 0:21:06which is quite a lot of money for a straightforward gavel.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I mean, it is rosewood,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10which is a good, nice, hard, solid wood,
0:21:10 > 0:21:11but we don't want to pay £67.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- No, no, no. - What do we want to pay?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- 20.- £15, £20, yeah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Do you want to go and have a word? Ask how much the sold is.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23While Mark heads off to find the dealer,
0:21:23 > 0:21:25things are reaching boiling point for the Reds.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Well, farmers check the weather all the time.- Yeah. That's it.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- There's the theme running through here.- Yeah.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Always keep an eye on the weather.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35On balance, I would prefer a thermometer to a milk churn.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Mm-hm.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Got a bit more practicality to it. - Yep.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42HE BLOWS
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- Oh, it's going up.- Ooh!- It works!
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Hot stuff.- Yeah, hot property.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Oh, my God! It's going through the roof!
0:21:48 > 0:21:51THEY LAUGH
0:21:51 > 0:21:52For a doctor.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Now, what I'm going to look for is the back
0:21:54 > 0:21:56to see if it's original. I'm sure it is.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01It looks to me to be Edwardian. I'd say 1910, 1920.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04But I want it to be silver and not silver-plate.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06- It is.- BOTH:- Oh, wow.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Ah, do you want the good news or the bad news?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Good news first.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- Good news is it's silver.- Yeah. - It has a hallmark.- OK.- Yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Bad news is someone's polished that so much,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- so that's going to affect the value hugely.- Yeah.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21If the hallmark was intact,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24I don't think it's even bad at 40 quid.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I think this is going to make...
0:22:26 > 0:22:28The silver buyers won't buy this at auction,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31but somebody with a passion for something like this
0:22:31 > 0:22:33would do at a price.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But will the price be right?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Back with the Blues, who are still looking at that gavel,
0:22:38 > 0:22:40and Jim returns with news.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41- Phoned the dealer.- Oh.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Unfortunately, she paid a lot for it
0:22:43 > 0:22:45so she's not willing to do much on it.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- £60 is the best, I'm afraid.- Oh.
0:22:48 > 0:22:49Cos it's rosewood as well.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51It is a good wood.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55I think we'll have to leave it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56We have five minutes left as well.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Yeah. I know. That's a shame.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Right. Quick, guys.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Not much sense of urgency here, boys.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09You need to shop quickly. Now, how about that tin?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- We've got five minutes left here.- OK.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- We're beginning to panic.- Yeah.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I think it's probably ten or 20 quid's worth.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17- OK. I'll try my best. - Give it a try.- OK.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Brilliant.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Four minutes.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Oh, no. Oh, no!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Oh, dear. The Blues are looking lost.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Do you want to run back? We saw a tin earlier. Do you want to...
0:23:27 > 0:23:30- Yeah.- ..run back and see that, or no? What did you like?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I did like that tin. I did like that tin.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- I tried my best for you.- Yeah.- £20.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Oh, yeah. I think... - Yeah, let's go for it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Yeah.- We like that.- Yeah.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- It's got to be worth that. - It's got to be worth £20.- Yeah.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- You're an angel.- Yeah. You're welcome.- Ooh! Yay!
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Well done, Reds. You're all done.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51But the Blues are fast running out of time.
0:23:51 > 0:23:52There's just two minutes left.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Quick march, Nick. Come on.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Here's the box. The tin box. - That's nice. What's on that?
0:23:58 > 0:24:02- That's lovely.- £48. - Tobacco box. £48.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Lovely. I love the colour on that.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07So, this would've been in a shop, display shelf.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10There it would've been Sweet Rosemary selling your tobacco.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13They would've been all lined up. It's turn-of-the-century.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17It's fab, but what's it got on it? £48.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18£48.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21You need to get that really quickly. If not, shall we go for the gavel?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Yeah.- For the sold? Shall we? - Happy, yeah? OK, Let's go.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Run, run, run, run, run.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Less than a minute left, team. Can you do a deal in time?
0:24:31 > 0:24:34- What do you think? What do you want to spend?- I'd do 30.- I'd do 30.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- We can do 30 on it.- Yeah, that's it.- What do you think?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- 30 on that?- I'm happy with 30. Yeah. - On that rather than the gavel?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- BOTH:- Yeah.- Sold.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Phew! Well done, Blues. Just in the nick of time.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Oh, yes! We should've got the sold, shouldn't we?
0:24:48 > 0:24:49The sold.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52That's it, teams. You're 60 minutes are up.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- Girls. Girls, a hug.- Thank you! - BOTH:- Yay!- Yippee!
0:24:56 > 0:24:57- We've done it.- Yes!- Come on.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Aw!
0:24:59 > 0:25:01- And the thing is, you're still smiling.- I am smiling.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- I'm happy with that.- Sweating a bit.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought, shall we?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09First up, the ladies love their fancy dress,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12and they also love this French naval hat,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14which they secured for just £10.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16For their second item,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19our farmer girls couldn't resist this fibreglass pig.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Price paid, £45.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And last up, our hot favourite with Charlie was this
0:25:26 > 0:25:29silver-mounted desk thermometer, bought for £20.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Girls, you are the dream team.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Amazing. Well done, you. Did you enjoy it?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Yes.- It was really good, thank you. Yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Millie, what was your favourite item?
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- It had to be the pig. - The pig, of course.- Yeah.
0:25:41 > 0:25:42What about you, Jenny?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- In agreement or is it different? - Yeah, I love the pig.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I love the pig, but the...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48but the hat was fab as well.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Which do you think will make the biggest profit?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- I think the thermometer will. - What about you, Jenny? Agree?
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Yeah, I do. I think it's a nice all-rounder.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59There's a lot of people out there that might like something like that
0:25:59 > 0:26:02for their sort of dressing table or in the kitchen, you know.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06- I love it.- Farmers like the weather. - Dream team and unanimous decisions.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09- So, how much did you spend, girls? - We spent £75.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Did you try to get them to spend any more?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Yeah. I mean, they spent most of it on a pig!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16THEY LAUGH
0:26:16 > 0:26:21£75. Well done. So, you've got £225 of leftover lolly...
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Yes, look at all of that. - ..to give to Charlie Ross.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26You know how dangerous this is, don't you?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- My goodness. Charlie.- Oh!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31£225 of leftover lolly. What will you be spending it on today?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34I'm going to trot off and spot something that doesn't go...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36HE SNORTS
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well, while Charlie brings home the bacon,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42let's check out what the Blue team bought.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Mark spotted this George V silver bowl
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and the team paid a whopping £108 for it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Nick chose their next item, a silver-gilt Masonic pendant.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Price paid, £70.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And with just seconds to go, the team bought this vintage tin,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02secured for £30.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Blimey, you two cut it to the wire, didn't you?
0:27:05 > 0:27:08- We did, yes. - The seconds were ticking away.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- It was.- Oh! Was it fun?- Yeah. - So much fun, yeah.- Yeah?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Enjoyed it?- Yeah, loved it. Loved it.- Good. Well done.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16What was your favourite item, Nick?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- The Rosemary tin, the tobacco tin. - Love that.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19And what about you, Mark?
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Mine was the silver dish with the gadrooned border.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Ooh! Very good. Gadrooned! - He's been listening, Catherine.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I'm impressed! And what item is going to make the biggest profit?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Is that going to be your silver bowl?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I think it's going to be the trinket,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36the Buckinghamshire trinket with the blue colour.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- I think that's going to surprise us. - The pendant.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- The pendant, cos we got it at a good price, I think.- Oh.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- I like it. OK, and what about you? - I believe the same.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- I think that'll make the most money. - Oh, unanimous.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- Oh.- Hmm! - THEY LAUGH
0:27:49 > 0:27:50Not sure, not sure!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Team, how much did you spend?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- £208.- Oh, a goodly amount. Well done.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So, can I have £92 of leftover lolly then, please?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- There you go.- Thank you very much. £92, Catherine.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Mm-hm.- There we go. All yours.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07There you go, darling. What are you going to spend it on?
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Do you know what? I'm going to try and spend every single penny.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14Oh, well, while Catherine goes on a spending mission,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16let's head off to the auction.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18MUSIC PLAYS
0:28:25 > 0:28:27We've taken a skip, hop and a jump down to Berkshire.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29We're with Thomas Plant at Special Auction Services.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- Hello, Thomas.- Hello, Christina. - It's lovely to be here.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- We're delighted to have you here. - Oh, very good. Now, look...
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Mm-hm.- ..the Red team...- Yeah.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40..their first item is this wonderful hat, Thomas.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43The French naval hat. They must have small heads in France.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Aye-aye, sailor! THEY LAUGH
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Love it! Suits you. - Do you know, these are great things.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Brilliant, isn't it?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53- They are lovely. Bit of good dressing up.- Mm.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57We find that militaria is one of those markets
0:28:57 > 0:28:58which is really popular.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Does it have a market? - It does have a big market, actually.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- We put it in at £50 to £80. - Oh, wow. They'll be wildly excited.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08- £10 paid only.- Wow.- Yeah, yeah.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14Now, what can be said about our porker in the corner?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15It's fabulous.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19- Really?- Yeah. There's been a lot of interest in it.- Really?- Yeah.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23People really like it. It's just a bit of irreverent fun.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Is it because it's a great sort of shop display,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27or what is it about it?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Something for the garden.- Really? - Yeah. Something for the garden.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- Something for... It's fibreglass. - Yeah.- It's not heavy.
0:29:33 > 0:29:37It's just hilarious. So, we're predicting between £50 and £80.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39They paid £45 for it,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42so you're predicting a profit on piggy.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Shall I say that quickly?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Well, that is a lot of Ps, isn't it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:46It is. It's great fun.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48But then their third item,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51they are both thinking that this sweet little desk thermometer
0:29:51 > 0:29:53is going to bring them the biggest profit.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Do they now?- Mm. They do. - Interesting.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Well, this is a fine desk thermometer.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00It's great, isn't it?
0:30:00 > 0:30:04It is quite stylish. It's silver. It's all there. It's homogenous.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Yes, there's been a bit of repair to the back. £60 to £80.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09Oh, well, then I think they might both be right.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11They paid £20 only for that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12How did they do that?!
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Yeah, that was a bit of a bargain, was it not?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17OK, well, you've predicted three profits on the three items.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22They might not need their bonus buy, but let's have a look at it anyway.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- It's not a pig.- Oh. - But it is fabulous.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28It's a small...fob watch, and there it is.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Ooh!- Wow! It's lovely. - Isn't that gorgeous?
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- BOTH: Yeah!- Quality.- Mm!
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Think Ross, think quality.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Have a hold of it, girls. What do you think?- Look at that.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Have a look.- Oh, it's lovely.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Very pretty. What do you think, girls?- The case is gold.- Yeah.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- How much did you pay for it? - £75 I paid for that.- £75.- OK.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50And knowing the skill of the auctioneer,
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I'd be very surprised if it didn't make £100.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55So, a good purchase, girls, but don't worry.
0:30:55 > 0:30:56You don't have to decide now.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Let's see if our auctioneer thinks that Charlie's bonus buy
0:30:59 > 0:31:00is going to fly.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04So, Charlie was left with quite a sizable budget
0:31:04 > 0:31:06and he invested in this rather sweet
0:31:06 > 0:31:08little 18-carat gold fob watch for the girls.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- What do you think? - Well, this is rather delightful.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12This is a proper antique.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Yes, it is 18-carat gold. Probably made in Switzerland.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- I was going to say, Swiss, do you think?- Yeah, Swiss. Gorgeous thing.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22And we've put this in at 121.50.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26121.50. OK, well, look, Charlie invested £75 in it.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- Wow.- Yeah.- Wow!- So, we're predicting quite a good profit.- Yeah!
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- It's looking good for our Reds. - Definitely.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Is it looking as strong for our Blues?
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Let's have a little look.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37The first thing that they bought
0:31:37 > 0:31:41was the rather delicious silver pedestal bowl.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42It's clean. It's clean lines.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- There's no damage to it. - Are the marks crisp?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47The marks are crisp. They're well hallmarked there.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52It's a good-looking bowl and we've estimated this at 80 to 120.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- It was Mark's favourite piece, but they paid £108 for it.- Wow.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57- That's a lot of money.- OK.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Well, swiftly moving on, we have got the Masonic pendant,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02that lovely Buckinghamshire pendant there.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04What's your thoughts on that?
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Masonic items from the 18th century are highly, highly sought-after.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- From the 18th century. - Yeah.- But this is not.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14This is later on, in the early 20th century.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Are not as highly sought-after,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18but still there is still a good following.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21So, that reflects our estimate, which is 50 to 80.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Now, they paid £70 for it, so we might be struggling a little bit.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26This was Nick's favourite item -
0:32:26 > 0:32:29this rather gorgeous Rosemary Tobacco tin there.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31I think this is just fabulous.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- I love it.- It is great.
0:32:33 > 0:32:38It is a really lovely original piece of retailer art.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42Exactly. And you so often see these reproduced and looking...
0:32:42 > 0:32:44I mean, they've just got that facsimile around them.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45This is original.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- All the wear on this is as it has been over the years.- It's a fab tin.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- Just fab.- £30 to £80. - OK. £30 to £50.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53Well, they paid £30 for it.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56I think that might be a slightly conservative estimate.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- I think that's fab. It might fly. - I think it will.- Yeah.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01So, apart from one potential profit,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03we're predicting maybe a couple of losses here,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05so it looks like they might need their bonus buy.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Let's go and have a look at it.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Are you ready?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- I can't look! - What do you mean you can't look?!
0:33:11 > 0:33:13- THEY LAUGH - Look! Look!
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- What do you think it is, chaps? - It looks like a mouse's letterbox.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17A what? A letterbox?
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- It looks like a baby letterbox. - A mouse's.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Oh, I suppose it could be! I like that! A mouse's letterbox!
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- Is it a belt buckle? - It's actually a belt buckle.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Well done.- Is it?- Top of the class.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29But look at that. Look at it closely.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33Look at these beautiful grotesque masks all the way around there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Feel the weight of that. - Is that actual silver?
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Yes, of course.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Solid silver and it's fully hallmarked, isn't it, Catherine?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Fully hallmarked from 1901.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44So, how much did you spend?
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Are you ready for this?
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Because I did say to you I was going to spend all your money, right?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- Yeah.- But I spent £8.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55- Wow.- Nice.- £8! Wow.- Oh, yes.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- Catherine, that was very impressive. - £8. There you go.- Wow.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- So, you like it, boys? - We like it.- We love it now.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03SHE LAUGHS You don't have to decide now.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Have a think about it. Let's go see what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:06 > 0:34:08about Catherine's lovely belt buckle.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09Or mouse's letterbox.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14So, Thomas, this is what Catherine bought with her leftover lolly.
0:34:14 > 0:34:15What's your thoughts?
0:34:15 > 0:34:20Well, it's a silver Edwardian belt buckle with the Green Man
0:34:20 > 0:34:22on the faces, on these little espagnolettes here.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- This one we've valued at £60 to £80. - £60 to £80?- Yeah, 60 to 80.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30I don't know how she did it, but only £8 paid for that.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Will you be taking the auction for us?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It would be an honour to take the auction for you, Christina.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Fantastic. Looks like a good one. Best of luck.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56It could be a winning score.

0:38:17 > 0:38:19- I love that. - Looking forward to that.- Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- How are you feeling, Mark? - I'm a bit apprehensive.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Are you?- Yeah.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- A bit nervous? - I don't know. I just hope it sells.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57- All done then.- Come on!- £80.- Oh.

0:39:30 > 0:39:33So, you are minus £83, but now a saviour.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36We've got your Rosemary tin, which is gorgeous.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38You paid £30 for this.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- '£40.'- You're in a profit already.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42£40 is where I start.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45At £40. At 40. Any advance at 40?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- Come on. Come on. - Fabulous, isn't it?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Come on.- Come on. - We just need another £80.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Surely it must be worth more. 40 once, 40 twice.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- We've got a long way to go. - Done then.- Oh, £40.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57- OK, so, that's good. - We've recovered a bit.- You have.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58You're at plus 10 on that one,
0:39:58 > 0:40:03which means you are overall at minus 73, I'm sorry to say.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Now you've got an important decision to make.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07- We'll make it. Yes.- Yeah.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Done.- No-brainer.- No-brainer. - Brilliant. OK.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Well, Catherine has been very savvy with her bonus buy,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16so she might just be able to get you back into a profit.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Best of luck.- Fingers crossed. - Here it comes.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20This is a Edward VII silver belt buckle.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23I can start the bidding with us here at £30.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Start the bidding at 30.- Yes. - Straight into profit, Catherine.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30Start me here at 30, somebody. £30 for a silver belt buckle. At £30.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Come on.- Must be a bid here at 30.

0:40:37 > 0:40:38- 20. I can't believe it.- Brilliant.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41- Oh, 2 now.- 22.- 22 online. £22 online.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- Come on, Catherine. You're clawing back those losses.- '22 online it is.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- 'Is there 25 somewhere else in the room?'- Surely.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50'At 22, it's online once. 22 online twice.'
0:40:50 > 0:40:52It's worth more than that in weight.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Surely there should be more. 22.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57£22 gives you a £14 profit,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01but overall that gives you a minus 59, chaps.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Aw!- Don't be too disheartened. This is Bargain Hunt.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06That could be a winning score. You never know.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Promise me you won't say a word to the girls.- I won't. Don't worry.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13- I definitely won't say a word. - We'll keep that a secret.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Keep that a secret. I'm not telling anybody.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22£300, room bid. Room bid at 300 once, 300 twice.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33I can't quite believe what I'm seeing on these cards here.
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Oh!
0:41:34 > 0:41:39Who knew that two teams could shop in the same place
0:41:39 > 0:41:46and come out with quite such drastically different results.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Obviously, we don't have losers in Bargain Hunt,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51we only have runners-up,
0:41:51 > 0:41:54and today's runners-up are the Blues.
0:41:54 > 0:41:55Aw!
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- Sadly, we ended up on minus £59. - Aw!
0:41:58 > 0:42:00But have you enjoyed it?
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Loved it.- Had a really good time, yeah.- Good experience.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- A good experience.- Yeah.- Good. Well, I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07But I have to say,
0:42:07 > 0:42:14with a stonking profit of £280,
0:42:14 > 0:42:16our mighty Red team...
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Just unstoppable!

0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Oh, wow!- £280.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28And of course, you had profits on everything,
0:42:28 > 0:42:33so you enter the rather noble order of the golden gavellers.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- Ooh!- There we are, darling.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38You've all been brilliant sports. You really have.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Well done, Blues.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43Sadly not today. Maybe next time.
