0:00:03 > 0:00:06Welcome to Norwich, where this magnificent castle stands,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08tall and proud.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Back in 1067, William the Conqueror wanted a stronghold in the East.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13So they built this!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Talk about prime location!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Over the centuries, it's had plenty of makeovers
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and various residents,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26from nobility to prisoners.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30But we're not keeping the teams under lock and key today.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32No, we're letting them loose.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33So let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We're doing time at the Norfolk Showground today.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03And our teams have been sentenced
0:01:03 > 0:01:06to an hour of hard bargain hunting.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10And whichever team makes the most profit
0:01:10 > 0:01:12from the items they buy...wins.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's an open-and-shut case.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20The Reds get straight to the point.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I think that's a bit too much of an ask for us.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25I've got to be honest, I'm not feeling the love.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27And it's all about the money for the Blues.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28How about £13?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30If we can shake hands at £40?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33How about £85 and we'll take it off your hands?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36At the auction, some handle the pressure better than others.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Come on, someone.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40- NATASHA:- No! No, no, no, no.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Travesty.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46But before we get stuck in, let's meet our daring duos.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49So it's all about lads today,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51and in Red we've got Nick and Gary,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and in Blue, we've got Thomas and James.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54- Hello! ALL:- Hi.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Gentlemen, I don't know whether I should salute you
0:01:56 > 0:01:57or stand to attention.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Cos you're both in the Army.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Nicholas, tell me where you serve.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03We serve just outside of Ipswich
0:02:03 > 0:02:05at an old RAF camp there.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Is he more senior than you in the Army?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Time served, we're equal.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Time served! By rank, you're equal?
0:02:11 > 0:02:12Yes.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14By appointment, I'm senior.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Oh, right, OK.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17So you don't have to call him "sir"?
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- No, no, no. - What else do you do?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Well, I like vintage scooters.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I've currently got a 1983 Vespa,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26which I am trying to do up.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27How long does that take?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30For me, quite a long time, because I'm not very good
0:02:30 > 0:02:31when it comes to mechanics.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34You don't get the engine out on the kitchen table, do you?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36No, I don't think my wife would let me do that one.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37- In the garage?- Yeah, yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41Both of you are keen skiers, is that correct?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Yeah, that's correct. - Who's the better skier?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Definitely me.
0:02:46 > 0:02:47Definitely him.
0:02:48 > 0:02:49Listen to that.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Listen to Nick, just being magnanimous.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Apart from doing the skiing and, you know, the Army,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57what else do you do?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Basically, help out with a disabled charity
0:02:59 > 0:03:02within the Essex and the Suffolk-Norfolk area.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's a non-profit organisation
0:03:04 > 0:03:06that supports all the disabled kids
0:03:06 > 0:03:08and allows them to have a chance and supports them.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11So today, both of you, you're good friends,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13you're competitive on the slopes together...
0:03:13 > 0:03:15How's it going to work when you're buying at the fair?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Our tactics are, we're going to buy small and sell high.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19That's what we are aiming for.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Any profits that we do make,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24we are aiming to give to some sort of military charity.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28No pressure on your expert, then, is there, to give you that advice?
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I'll just follow along.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31It sounds like a plan then, Gary.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Nice to meet you as well.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34So, onto the Blues... Brothers!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Thomas and James, how are you?
0:03:37 > 0:03:38- Good.- Excited.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39You don't like to be called Thomas, do you?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41It depends on how badly behaved I've been.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Yeah, Tom is normally better.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44Tell me, what do you do?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I work in a high-street bank in my local town.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I'm one of the cashiers there,
0:03:50 > 0:03:52or a customer service advisor, we call it now.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Are you good with money?
0:03:53 > 0:03:54No, not at all.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00So I believe you want to be a bit of a chef, is that correct?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Yeah, well, chef is quite a broad term.
0:04:02 > 0:04:03I've got an online video channel
0:04:03 > 0:04:05which we're just filming for at the moment,
0:04:05 > 0:04:07called Lads Cooking.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09What's your sort of signature dish?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Oh, it's probably a bacon sandwich.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14A bacon sandwich, that's difficult, isn't it?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16It is, there's quite a lot of elements to it.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19James, tell me, what do you do?
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I work for Stansted Airport security.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Right!- I'm that annoying bloke that tells you to get your liquids
0:04:24 > 0:04:27out of your bags when you go on holiday, who everyone hates.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29You have aspirations to move on, is that correct?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33That's right, maybe not quite now, but in the near future,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36hopefully, I've got plans to go to the Border Force.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Is that like the old customs?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Absolutely, they are the ones that control
0:04:41 > 0:04:42people coming in and out of the airports...
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Animals, and then any other kind of freight or luggage, cargo.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49That's very interesting, I must admit.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51How are your tactics going to work?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54You are brothers, do you get on?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56On the whole part, I think we get on.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59There are occasional fracases around the dinner table,
0:04:59 > 0:05:02which my mum gets very upset about.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05But, no, I think we're probably going to row about everything
0:05:05 > 0:05:06and I'll get my own way, hopefully.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Well, it sounds like a plan.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09James, be strong.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Now it's the money handover time.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- Here is a £300 for you, Gary. - Thank you.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Thank you very much. And there's £300 for you, James.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18The fair awaits, so do your experts,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20so go out there and have fun!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I can't wait to see who comes out on top.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27So who will be guiding our teams today?
0:05:29 > 0:05:30He's ready to do battle -
0:05:30 > 0:05:32it's Nick Hall for the Reds.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35And she's not playing the Blues,
0:05:35 > 0:05:36but joining them.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It's Natasha Raskin.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40We are a band of brothers today.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42James, tell me, what are you looking for?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'm a massive sports fans, so I'll be looking for anything
0:05:44 > 0:05:46like sports memorabilia.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48So, Nick, Gary, what are we looking for today?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49What's on your shopping list?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Myself, I quite like watches
0:05:52 > 0:05:53and military stuff.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'm looking to make a profit today,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58so anything a bit different, a bit quirky.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Militaria for me, sort of our background.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I like trench art as well.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Those are some good Essex accents,
0:06:03 > 0:06:04I want some slang from you guys.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- You feel me?- Innit, bruv?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Will our teams cook up a storm?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11HORN BLARES
0:06:11 > 0:06:14I've got my orders. Let's get marching. Come on, quick step! Quick step!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16One hour ticking quickly away,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18so let's go, go, go!
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Come on, let's... let's get looking.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Definitely doesn't look like sports memorabilia things here.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27It's all very much things for display.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I'm sure something will catch your eye soon.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The Reds have already found something they like.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Look at these, like, car sort of things, aren't they?
0:06:37 > 0:06:38Whose car would this be on?
0:06:39 > 0:06:43They could've been, potentially... It could be, like, a sort of
0:06:43 > 0:06:45commanding officer's car, general's car.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Let's have a little look, see which one we like.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49There's the airborne one here,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I think that's quite a nice piece.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- This one here, Nick, we saw as well.- It's artillery.
0:06:54 > 0:06:55This is Royal artillery?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yep. It's a good quality, nice colours and everything.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00The enamelling is in good condition. Once that gets chipped,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02you're in trouble. That really damages the value.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04So you've got to keep an eye on that as well.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That looks to be nice and clear.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07It's worth asking the question.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Go and have a chat with the dealer, find out what sort of prices
0:07:10 > 0:07:14he wants for them and maybe it's something you can consider buying.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Go and see if you can find him, have a chat.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17We will, thank you.
0:07:17 > 0:07:21Yeah, it's the sort of thing that could do all right.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Make sure you drive a hard bargain, Gary.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Now, what have the Blues found outside?
0:07:27 > 0:07:28What do you think of this box here?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30On the outside, which is what we want to focus on,
0:07:30 > 0:07:32cos it's the most visible part,
0:07:32 > 0:07:33is it looks great, doesn't it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36It's a beautiful... I guess it's a sort of a walnut.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I don't think it's a veneer, I think it's solid wood.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41And it's a lovely set, a vanity set,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43as it were, with toilet bottles,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46and we have a little corset hook in there.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47A nail file.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50So what you want to see when you see these vanity sets,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52are all the components are there.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54It's a really attractive thing.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56But likely it's got a very high ticket price on it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So I think we should ask what price it is.
0:07:58 > 0:07:59'It has indeed.'
0:07:59 > 0:08:00'325.'
0:08:00 > 0:08:04It's 325. Our whole entire budget is 300.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05It's a really quality item.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08This is a nice stall and we have a lovely, friendly stall holder.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Might want to hop over. - Let's see what else they have and look around.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Yeah, absolutely.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I wonder how friendly the stall holder is being to the Reds...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18For the two, we're looking around £100.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21£100 for two of them?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- Yeah.- So, he wants £60 for that and £40 for that one?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Wow! That's a lot, that's a big ask.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27That's what we think.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28I think it's more than we...
0:08:28 > 0:08:30I think that's a bit too much of an ask for us.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Now, if he'd said £60 for them both
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I would've said it's a bit more encouraging.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35You've got half a chance there.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37We'll push on and see what else we can find.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Don't worry, gents, it's still early days.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41You've only been shopping for 10 minutes.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Back to the Blues, and they're still at the same stall.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47This is something that... It's very inexpensive,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49but a bit unique.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52We've got here a travelling sales sugar selection.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I think it's really unusual, and it's £15.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57So these are samples, do you reckon, that were taken to...
0:08:57 > 0:08:59restaurants, cafes, supermarkets?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I think it may be travellers' samples.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Something that was shown around to wholesalers.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04Really lovely.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07So these are miniature examples of larger boxes?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And I would think this goes back to the 1950s.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's really cute, isn't it? In such nice order, too.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15What about you, James, what are you thinking about that?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'm not convinced. For me, personally.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18It's not something I'd go for.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Not something you'd go for.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I think it's sweet as you like.
0:09:22 > 0:09:23And I'm well up for it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Well, that's a pun. - He just used a pun, absolutely.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It's in a good price range for us.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31As it's such an unknown, though, we might have to do a little something with the price.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33But I like it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Are you up for a haggle, then?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Definitely, yeah.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Why don't you go for it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'm not going to haggle much on that,
0:09:39 > 0:09:41cos, actually, my price on that is really 25.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44I just said 15 because I thought that would tempt you!
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- You've done this before, haven't you?- I have.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48So it's a good deal and I think...
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I think there's a chance. Do another pound,
0:09:50 > 0:09:51make it 14 and...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53I was hoping for a tenner.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No, I thought you might be, but no, I can't really do it as low as that.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00How about £13 and we'll take it now? Good sale, everyone's happy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- Go on, then.- Yeah!
0:10:02 > 0:10:04He was going to keep going, wasn't he?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Well, thank you very much. That's very generous.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Like you said, a sweet offer, and on that note, a sweet one...
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Sweet one, yes! - ..we should hot foot it that way
0:10:13 > 0:10:14and get to find items two and three.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Should we do it?- Sounds good. - After you. This way, boys.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Brilliant, Blues!
0:10:18 > 0:10:21But will that not be the icing on the cake?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23We'll have to wait for the auction.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Let's head over to the Reds, and with 15 minutes gone,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29they're still chasing their first buy.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31It's a horn, isn't it? But it's a hunting horn.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- Oh, right. - It's quite interesting.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37It's got this sort of grotesque dragon face on the end.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41- See, I like that.- Yeah, it's got something about it, doesn't it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42It's only a score.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Did you say a score? That's £20 to you and me.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It'll need fixing, it's broken, isn't it?
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- It's only got one...- It's got one of these tendrils missing, there.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Yes, it's going to have an effect on it,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54but it's got a bit of age about it.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57You would expect there to be some...
0:10:57 > 0:10:58working repairs on it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I should imagine it's been dropped on a hunt somewhere.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03How old do you think it is?
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Gosh, there's a question.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Probably early 20th century, I'd have thought.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Sort of between the wars, that sort of era.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11With a bit of an Eastern influence.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14This is, I suspect, a Chinese dragon, isn't it?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17But a very English pursuit...
0:11:17 > 0:11:19as a hunting horn.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Unless, of course, you went dragon hunting.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Then it's going to be really rare.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26What do you think? Do you like it? Is it something worth considering?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I'm sure between you, you know, you could
0:11:28 > 0:11:32frogmarch, put the arm up the back and get the price down a bit.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34That's a tactic I have not seen before!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I'm not sure that's the Blues' style, though.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Ah, they found their way inside.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- Different kettle of fish altogether. - Absolutely.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Right, boys, what's the plan of action?
0:11:43 > 0:11:45No time to waste, let's shoot down this way.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, right. He's got a plan, let's follow him.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49There's no mucking about with you lot.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52And the Reds get straight to the point as well.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54What's the best you can do on it?
0:11:56 > 0:11:5718.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- 18. What about 15?- The issue we've got, obviously, cos it's missing...
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- Yeah, it's missing...- And it's had a repair to its face as well.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05- Yeah, 15.- 15 quid?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- Yeah. Thank you very much. - Brilliant. Cheers, mate.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10How are you getting on, guys?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Well, impulsively...
0:12:12 > 0:12:14we've got him to down 15.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15That's good, good negotiation skills.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And you won't worry too much about the condition?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19We used the condition to get the price down.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Good thinking, good bartering.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22What we're thinking...
0:12:22 > 0:12:24maybe, a bit of tin snip?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Cut that off, make it the same as that?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- So it doesn't look like it's ever had one missing.- Exactly.- Good idea.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33No-one likes a one-horned dragon, do they?
0:12:33 > 0:12:34No, I'm not sure they do.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37So he'll let it go for 15, will he? And what do you think about that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Well, we've shaken on it. - You bought it?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Yeah.- Oh, he's actually bought it already?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Deal done! I like your tactics.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46Clever. You two are brilliant. Come on.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Let's do some more hunting. You guys are on the ball.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50Well done, Reds.
0:12:50 > 0:12:5215 minutes gone, and one buy in the bag.
0:12:52 > 0:12:56But I think your opponents are having trouble finding number two.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Anything catching your eye in here?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Lots of three-figure ticket prices, is that what you are seeing?
0:13:02 > 0:13:04This could be a little bit rich for our blood.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Moving on?- It's not grabbing me.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08They're decisive, I'll give them that.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11I like the look of this tray, what do you think?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Not a lot, by the look of it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I don't think it's hugely old,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17but it's got a real
0:13:17 > 0:13:21sort of fancy 18th-century Rococo look about it.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And there's a price tag next to it, £38.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26I've got to be honest, I'm not feeling the love.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28You're not?
0:13:28 > 0:13:30No. I'm not getting a kick off of that, but if you want it...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33You can't say you didn't try, Nick.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But don't get down in the dumps.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I'm sure you'll grab a bargain soon.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41In the meantime, I'd like to focus on some retro tech
0:13:41 > 0:13:43that you often find at fairs like this.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50They have charm.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53They have elegance.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And at the moment, vintage cameras...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58are all the rage.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02This is a Russian camera by FED-Zorki.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05FED-Zorki was a company in the Soviet Union
0:14:05 > 0:14:08who copied the best of the best.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10What do I mean by that, copying the best of the best?
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Well, we're in Soviet Russia in 1950.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14What are they doing?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Are they importing Western goods?
0:14:16 > 0:14:17No, they're not.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18They're copying Western goods
0:14:18 > 0:14:20and the best Western goods they could copy
0:14:20 > 0:14:23were Leica. Leica cameras.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26And these were fabulous German-made cameras
0:14:26 > 0:14:29you could probably describe as being the Ferrari
0:14:29 > 0:14:31of the camera world.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35And FED-Zorki Company copied this camera.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39What's unusual about it is that it's a stereo camera.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40What does that mean?
0:14:40 > 0:14:44The stereo camera takes two images of exactly the same subject.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49The reason why we do that is because we make them 3-D.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51By developing the photograph from the film,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53you have two of exactly the same image.
0:14:53 > 0:14:58And view them through your viewer, you have a 3-D effect.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00So, really, what I am holding here
0:15:00 > 0:15:05is a 1950s Russian 3-D camera.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Why is it popular these days?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Well, I can tell you that vintage photography,
0:15:10 > 0:15:12whether it be a lens, whether it be a camera body,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16is a hugely popular, thriving collectors market.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Why? Surely we've all got digital now?!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Why do we need the old analogue cameras?
0:15:21 > 0:15:26If you're a fan of photography and a fan of the great mechanical,
0:15:26 > 0:15:28beautiful machines, as these are,
0:15:28 > 0:15:32well, you're a hot collector for them. You've also got to remember another thing about cameras -
0:15:32 > 0:15:35cameras are not just based in one country,
0:15:35 > 0:15:37they are worldwide.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And if you're a fan of photography,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41you'll definitely want an analogue one of these.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Now, what's this worth?
0:15:43 > 0:15:45If you're really lucky,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47you could probably pick one up at a fair,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50somebody doesn't know what it is, for not much money.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Place it in a specialist auction -
0:15:52 > 0:15:54£400-£600.
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Picture that.
0:15:57 > 0:15:58Back to the shopping,
0:15:58 > 0:16:00and our teams need to snap up two items each
0:16:00 > 0:16:02in less than half an hour.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04You better get a wriggle on.
0:16:05 > 0:16:06Guys.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08I found something right up your street.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09Now, look at these.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10Military badges.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13I think they're cap badges. I mean, you'll tell me otherwise.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I just found them tucked in the corner of a little stall over there.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19What about the regiments? Are you able to identify some of these regiments?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- This is a Hussars.- Uh-huh.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23They wouldn't be able to make them now,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- cos they don't exist any more.- Sure.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28That one doesn't exist any more, but you got the 9th/12th Lancers.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You've got a similar...
0:16:30 > 0:16:32The 9th Lancers, they've got quite a history.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Were they in charge of the Light Brigade?
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Could've been, actually.- Yeah, they went light armed, didn't they?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Interesting history lesson, gents.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41I can't hang around.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44We've got lots to buy.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46And it looks like our Essex lads
0:16:46 > 0:16:48can smell a bargain.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50You happen to have spotted this perfume bottle?
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- OK, the green one.- The green one. - Do you want to take it out, have a closer look?
0:16:54 > 0:16:56There's a lot of breakables in there. Send my brother in.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Steady.- Take your time!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02It's a very attractive thing. I mean, the market for
0:17:02 > 0:17:05atomisers is a very strong.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Generally, it's the more minimalistic,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09graphic Art Deco pieces
0:17:09 > 0:17:11that make huge money when they're period.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I think this would have a bit of appeal to it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15It's got a bit of age to it, hasn't it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:16Yes, a little bit more rub.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18These are meant to be pumped and used.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20A little bit more rub, which you would expect
0:17:20 > 0:17:22to see with wear and tear.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24I like the effect of this opaque glass,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27because almost - from a distance - it looks like jade or hard stone.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30I thought it was malachite glass,
0:17:30 > 0:17:31but it could be what you said...
0:17:31 > 0:17:35It certainly has the look of something harder than it is, anyway.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- I know this is malachite, so I just presumed that was.- Very similar.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40What's the damage on this one? Let's have a look.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43"What's the damage"! Hopefully not too much, that's what I'd say.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44Oh, 98!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47£98. Certainly it's a retail price, isn't it?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50For auction, you're likely to find an auctioneer would estimate
0:17:50 > 0:17:53that between £30-£50 or £40-£60.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56It's really up to you if you think it's worth a bit of a gamble.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58If we can get it for the right price, I'm in.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00OK, what's your best price on this one?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02You've got 98 on the tag.
0:18:02 > 0:18:0365 would be the very best.
0:18:03 > 0:18:0565?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- I think...- I don't know, I'm trusting you, Natasha.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11I just don't... I think it's a really fair price if I was buying it for myself,
0:18:11 > 0:18:13but I think at auction, we might struggle to get above that.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14You're right, Tom.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18You don't want it causing a stink when it goes under the hammer.
0:18:18 > 0:18:2120 minutes to go and Nick has a price for the cap badges.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I had a quick chat with the dealer,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Now, he's got them priced up at eight quid each.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29If we bought the whole lot,
0:18:29 > 0:18:31rather than one or two individually,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33we could do the deal at 55.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36You were offered those two military car badges earlier,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and that was 100 quid for two items, wasn't it?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- Which I thought was a bit steep. - Yeah, and I do.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44This sounds a bit more doable to me.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45There's more room to manoeuvre.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Yeah, I think that is nice. It's a good piece
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- and I think it's quite fitting. - You're happy with that?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52If I go and get these bought at £55, you're happy?
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Yeah, I think so. Shaking on it, then?- Yup.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58- Good stuff. I'll go and pay the money. Well done.- Cheers.- Thank you.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Bravo, Reds.
0:19:00 > 0:19:01I salute your decision.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04This shop is an absolute breeze,
0:19:04 > 0:19:06it's going with military precision.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08What do you expect when you have the British Army behind you?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I think we are up and at them, lads. And we're going to win the war.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I don't think the Blues will give up without a fight.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16What do you think of these ones?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I noticed it's got some hallmarks on there.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Better check with Natasha on that.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25See, there's the three pieces, so that's the two bits.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I think we should have a chat about those.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Natasha, we think we've struck gold.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Or should I say silver?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33You struck gold/silver. What have you got? It looks like a set to me.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35It is a set, indeed.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37It's got the hallmark on it there.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Good call. They might, at one point, have come from a case.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Similar to the vanity case that we saw earlier.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Purely because these tubes tend to have something to support them.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48They would've been used for travel.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51So, a fine lady or gentlemen don't want to take their toiletries
0:19:51 > 0:19:53at once when they go travelling.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Just like we do today when we go to the airport,
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Stansted security man!
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- No fluids more than 100mls! - Exactly.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00So that's exactly what this is,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03decanting some of your toiletries and taking them away.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05But with it not being in the case,
0:20:05 > 0:20:07would that take away from the value?
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I think so, a little bit. Three pieces for £120.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14I think, probably, for the three of these at auction we'd be talking...
0:20:14 > 0:20:16probably talking... Silver content there, not a huge amount,
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- 40-60?- Yeah, I think we better move on.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- You think it's time to move on? - Yeah.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I love them, but they're just a bit too much.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26It's all about the money, eh, Tom?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28And quite right too, but be warned,
0:20:28 > 0:20:30you've only got 15 minutes left to do two deals.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32And the Reds only need one.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34What's this, guys? You celebrating already?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Well, we would, if it was full.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- "If it was full." - What's your idea on that?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40That's a cool-looking thing, isn't it? You like that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I've bought these before. They sold really well.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45Oversized champagne bottles.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47People just buy them as ornaments in the home,
0:20:47 > 0:20:49but they're always popular.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51How much is it? What are they asking?
0:20:51 > 0:20:54We haven't engaged with the gentleman yet, anyways.
0:20:54 > 0:20:55So, uh...
0:20:55 > 0:20:57If you could put in, like, a cheeky tenner or something.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00If you want to get it wrapped up and done,
0:21:00 > 0:21:01that wouldn't be a bad buy.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Time to engage the dealer, then.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05And we will see who wins the battle on price.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Back to the Blues,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10and it's Miss Raskin's turn to teach some history.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13We always talk about the turn of the century,
0:21:13 > 0:21:15you hear that phrase so much, don't you?
0:21:15 > 0:21:18And then, here is a little cigar cutter from exactly that time...
0:21:18 > 0:21:201899.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's a very sweet wee piece that's hallmarked in lots of different places.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26We've got hallmarks on the front here,
0:21:26 > 0:21:28and we have a maker's mark on the side here as well.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30So it's marked throughout.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33It's for a very slim cigar, a cheroot.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36You pop in the end of that there, you slice it off
0:21:36 > 0:21:37and it's good for smoking.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41So it's quite a cute wee thing. It's not cheap, it's £45.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43There might be a wee bit of movement there, I don't know.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46I did clock another wee one in the box that's about
0:21:46 > 0:21:47two thirds of that price.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- Can we have a look at the other one as well?- You sure can.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I'll pass this one to you, James. You take that.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53Maybe we could do a deal on both.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Let's have a look. That would be quite nice.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58This one is slightly different, in the sense that it's marked
0:21:58 > 0:22:01for what we think is probably continental silver.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04So, you know, this one's got £29 on it,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07with the hallmarks. That one's got... 49, was it? 45.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10So maybe we could do a deal.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I suggested a couple of cigar cutters,
0:22:12 > 0:22:13is that a nice wee job lot? What do you think?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I'm really into it. If we can get it for the right price,
0:22:16 > 0:22:17I think it could be a good deal.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20What's the best price I can get for these two, please, sir?
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Let's have a look and see what I paid for them.
0:22:23 > 0:22:2455, the pair.
0:22:24 > 0:22:2555?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29If we can shake hands at 40, that'd be a brilliant day.
0:22:29 > 0:22:3050.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Can we meet you halfway at 45?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36How was that halfway?
0:22:36 > 0:22:37HE LAUGHS
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- That's a good question. - 47, and that's it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:4345 is so much easier on the change, sir.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- I know it does for you, not for me. - 47? What do you reckon, Jim?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Yeah, I'm in.- I'm happy. Are you happy, Natasha?- Yeah, good on you.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Yeah, go on. 47. Get your hand out. - Thanks a lot.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Thank you, sir.- Thank you very much.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58'You drive a hard bargain, Tom. Well done.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01'But there's no time to hang around - there's just under 10 minutes left.'
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Time's ticking and I don't know about you,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07but I'm starting to panic a little. OK, let's go, let's go. Thank you very much.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Follow us, James, follow us.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Quick march, quick march. Eyes right.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Now, let's see how the Reds are getting on.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Rock bottom on that one would be 15. - 15?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19- What about 12?- I can't go down to 12 on that, now. I'll do you 14.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21That'd be fine.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- That's not a bad deal...- 13 quid, and I'll make him tap dance.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27- 13 quid and he doesn't tap dance. - I'm happy with that.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I'll give you 13 quid to watch him tap dance.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So, £13?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- What you think about it, guys? Do you want to do it? - Happy with it, yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37- Going to pop the cork on this one, are we?- Yep.- Thanks very much.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38- You're welcome.- Thank you.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42That's it, guys, shop's done.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Three things found, bought, paid for,
0:23:45 > 0:23:46easy as that. Well done, you guys.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- Happy with that?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51There's one thing to do now - get three glasses and go and try this, shall we?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- What do you reckon? - Yeah. Officer's mess.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Tell you what, if the Blues don't buy item number three soon,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00they'll also be in a right mess. Chop, chop!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Stop in your tracks, because this is quite a fun item. It might
0:24:03 > 0:24:06have too big a ticket price, but I like that big telescope.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09Again, we've got that kind of chrome look, it's not very old.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11But it looks pretty functioning to me.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13Could be quite fashionable as well, isn't it?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Would you mind terribly checking out the ticket price, just to see...
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- put us out of our misery?- Yeah.- 125.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22That's quite high, but there might be some margin to play with here.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24But then, we've also got quite a bit left over.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Tell you what, if you had grandparents in the auction house thinking,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29"How can we amuse the grandkids when they come over to stay?"
0:24:29 > 0:24:33I think that would be a good, fun thing to get some bidding going.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36What is your best price on the telescope?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I would say £90.
0:24:38 > 0:24:4090?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43It's a fair price, but we're hoping to get a little bit extra special
0:24:43 > 0:24:45on this, since it's the end of the day.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Save you lifting it into the van.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49How about £85 and we'll take it off your hands?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54- Well, it's the end of the day. Go on, then.- Yeah.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55That is very kind of you.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57'Nice one, bruv.'
0:24:58 > 0:25:00WHISTLE BLOWS
0:25:00 > 0:25:03What a great performance, teams, but your time is up.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Did you buy anything that you thought you were going to buy?
0:25:06 > 0:25:09No, not really. After all the things I thought I was looking for in my head...
0:25:09 > 0:25:12We ended up getting some great items, though. I love these cigar cutters
0:25:12 > 0:25:15and the telescope. Hopefully it's going to find us a shooting star.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23Let's hope this dragon-hunting horn wasn't a RAWR deal at £15.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25DRAGON ROARS
0:25:27 > 0:25:30The selection of military cap badges were £55,
0:25:30 > 0:25:33but will they bring the auction house to attention?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36It may be empty, but the shop display champagne Magnum
0:25:36 > 0:25:40might give them some reason to celebrate. £13 paid.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45So, gentlemen, that was pretty military, wasn't it?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48It was all right. It was good, it was fun.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Just remind me how much you spent.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- £83.- What? £83? Nothing.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- It's a little bit too much. - Little bit too much? Yep, yep.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Gary, what's your favourite item?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I would say the cap badges were quite good, actually.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02We really enjoyed those.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03What's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:03 > 0:26:08I'm actually going to put a punt on our dragon flute.
0:26:08 > 0:26:09What about you, Nick?
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I think my favourite item, again, is the cap badges.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- I'm going to go for the champagne bottle.- The champagne bottle?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Yeah, yeah.- Is it full? - Not now it's not, no.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24So you spent £83. So who's got the £217?
0:26:24 > 0:26:27- Yep, we spent that, but... - Did you?- No, we realised we better give it back,
0:26:27 > 0:26:29so, there you go.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Nick, have you ever had this amount of money before?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Not that I haven't had to hand straight over to the wife, no.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- Phenomenal. - What are you going to do?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Do you know what, Tom? I'm going to shop till I drop
0:26:40 > 0:26:44and find something very suitable and apt for our brave boys here.
0:26:44 > 0:26:45Well done, sir.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Time to remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52Why don't you CAST-ER your eyes over this?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55The 1950s sugar selection box was £13.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01The cigar cutters were a snip at 47, but was it a smoking-hot deal?
0:27:02 > 0:27:07The 1970s telescope made by Irving was £85.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Do I see a profit on the horizon?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Well, boys, Natasha, that started off really well.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Out of the blocks at speed.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And then what happened?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18I think we decided to chill for a bit.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24Yeah, you did, didn't you? .So, Thomas, Tom, what's your favourite item?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27I don't know. At first I thought it was the telescope,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29but now I'm thinking the cigar cutters look nice.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Cigar cutter, and what's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:27:33 > 0:27:34I'm hoping the sugar.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36The sugar samples, the travel set.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39- Sugar samples, big profit I see on that.- All right, OK. Very good.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- How about you, James? - I completely disagree,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43I think it's going to be the telescope that's going to do it.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah, and what's your favourite item?
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Probably the telescope, I reckon. - So telescope, telescope.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- How much did you spend in total? - 145.- Well, that's not bad, is it?
0:27:52 > 0:27:55- 145.- Middle of the park, yeah. - Middle of the park, yeah.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- So, you've got 155 back? - I do.- Can I have it, please?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And who was in charge?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- I reckon it's probably this guy, right here.- Older brother!
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Tasha, there you go. What are you going to do with that?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yeah, I was like your weird little sister,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11just kind of creeping around with these guys, trying to keep up.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I don't know. £155. I'm going to try and find us something steady
0:28:15 > 0:28:17that will hopefully help us win the race.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Well, that sounds brilliant, Natasha. Well, we're off to the auction, just down the road.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32So we're here in Diss, at TW Gaze, with the lovely Elizabeth Tolbert.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Aw, you're very sweet yourself, Thomas, thank you.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Nick and Gary, first item was the Eastern brass copper horn
0:28:40 > 0:28:43with a dragon's head. Interesting.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45Yes, and novel item.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I mean, I can't say we've sold many looking like that recently.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51It's a novelty, but I don't think it would really command
0:28:51 > 0:28:54a huge amount of academic interest.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- So I'm not too inspired by that one, I have to say.- Really?
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Well, the thing is, it had some sort of whiskers as well,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04coming out from it. So it really does sound like a tourist piece.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06But there was only one whisker, cos Nick decided to nip it off.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- OK, so it's balanced, I guess. - It's balanced, so I think it is quite sensible.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12But they didn't pay much for it. And your estimate?
0:29:12 > 0:29:14Well, we've tried it along £25 to £40
0:29:14 > 0:29:16hoping that, you know, it might appeal.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17- £15 paid.- Oh, well sold, yes.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Now, the next one, they both like these,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22they're both soldiers,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25- and they've got 11 cap badges.- Yes.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28I think these are cap badges of varying quality
0:29:28 > 0:29:31and various periods.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Yeah, I think they are. I think some are earlier than others,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36some are of nicer metal than others.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39And it's a mixture of regiments, which is quite nice.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Beautifully presented, I think that makes all the difference.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- So your estimate... - £30 to £40.- 30 to 40?
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Paid, 55. And then the next item, I wish it was full.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51It would be nice, wouldn't it?
0:29:51 > 0:29:52But I promise you, it wasn't full
0:29:52 > 0:29:54when it arrived here. We haven't emptied it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58The staff of TW Gaze have had a party!
0:29:59 > 0:30:04So Charles de Casanove, a magnum of Champagne and Epernay.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- It is obviously an advertising bottle.- Yes.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- You've put...- Well, we put £20-£30 on that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14It's an eye-catching piece.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I think if somebody was doing a shop window display,
0:30:16 > 0:30:19very much along the lines of what it was created for.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- It's not much to pay for a prop, really.- Not at all, really.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28I mean, they only paid £13. The central item of the cap badges...
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Yes.- ..could be their problem lot.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34However, they still have Nick's bonus buy,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36and let's take a look.
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Nick and Gary, you left Nick with a huge £217.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Nick, tell us, what did you do with that £217?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Now, guys, I've gone a little bit off-piste with these,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49and I'm hoping things just don't go downhill.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51But I bought, with you in mind...
0:30:54 > 0:30:57..vintage skis and poles.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- What about that?- That's what you learnt on, wasn't it?
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Brilliant. How much did you pay for these?- £25 for the whole set.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09They could easily make £50-£70, maybe. Something like that.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12- Gary, what do you think about them? - I think they're really good,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15actually. I mean, obviously they look like they have been stained
0:31:15 > 0:31:17and looked after well. I think they're fantastic.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19And very rustic chic.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- I think they're really nice. - And what do you think, Nick?
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- Yeah, I like them. Wouldn't like to use them.- No.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31But let's see what the auctioneer thinks about Nick's skis.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- So the boys are really heavily into skiing.- Right.- What do you think?
0:31:35 > 0:31:36I'm not an expert on skis, Thomas.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I have to bow to absolutely everything you say about this.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Well, I love skiing and these things, which are torture...
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Are they?- ..for a skier. Looking at them now, you think...
0:31:46 > 0:31:47HE GASPS DRAMATICALLY
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- But...- But then, things have moved on so much.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53We're so spoiled, I guess, and modern technology makes them very desirable and easy to use.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- You've put...- £15-£20.
0:31:55 > 0:31:5615 to... And Nick's paid 25
0:31:56 > 0:31:59and he has been tongue-in-cheek, a bit of fun...
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- ..well done him.- Absolutely.- Right, onto the Blues, the other two boys.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09So their first item is the bygone, vintage sugar samples.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Isn't that sweet?
0:32:11 > 0:32:12HE LAUGHS
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Well, good use of language.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Cute.- It is cute.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18- Desirable, nostalgia.- Very much so. - I'd get it, yeah.- Very much so.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Totally useful, this, but very attractive.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- You've put... - We've put £15-£20 on them.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- £13 paid.- Yeah, well they should be all right on that.- Right.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Next lot is the cigar cutters.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Yeah, little and large.- Yeah.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35They are what they are.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39I mean, they occur to auction relatively frequently.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I don't think so many people use them as much as they did,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45you know, so it's a bit of a redundant item,
0:32:45 > 0:32:47with modern living, maybe.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- And you've put... - We put £20-£30.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Yeah, Natasha's gone and spent £47 on them.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I think that's a little steep. I think we'll struggle on that.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58So the third item - well, it's behind us.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02- It is. It certainly is. - It's big.- It's very big.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05The telescope, the Irving Telescope. Mid '20s or so. What do you think?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07It's practical.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11And it's serviceful and actually, the modern interest in
0:33:11 > 0:33:14stargazing is a growing phenomenon.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16So I think for people who are interested in that as a hobby,
0:33:16 > 0:33:19it's a great way to kind of access an instrument to do it.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Vintage telescopes always look quite evocative of days gone by...
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Yeah, they do. - ..and there's something magical and romantic about them.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29- What's your estimate? - £40-£60 on that one.- Oh! £85 paid.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32I think these boys are going to need Natasha's bonus buy.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35And let's take a look at it.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37You left Natasha with £155.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Natasha, do you want to tell the boys what you bought?
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Sure, I'm always a fan of slow and steady wins the race.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46And so, I went for...
0:33:46 > 0:33:47- a tortoise. - LAUGHTER
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Now, do you remember that we were looking at some green, malachite glass
0:33:51 > 0:33:53perfume bottles? Do you remember that? Some scent bottles?
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Oh, yeah, what James looked at.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58And they were moulded? Yeah, I think you liked them, that's right.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01And they were the exact same material, so pressed glass in this green, malachite colour.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04And it opens up and it's a wee soap dish.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08Quite a fun thing to store little secret items in. I don't know...
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Does that mean you don't necessarily have to
0:34:10 > 0:34:12- use it for soap? You could put anything in there.- No.- Exactly.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Soap dish is probably its original purpose,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16but you could have it as a trinket box.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20- What do you think, James?- Well, funny enough, I've actually got a pair of pet turtles...- Have you?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Yes, that's why I lit up when I saw that, yeah.- That's cool.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27OK, so this appeals to you because of your hobby, which is to keep these turtles.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30You know me, Natasha - the main thought in my head is how much did you spent?
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- 55 quid.- Oh, OK. Not silly, then. - No, not too silly.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Do you know what?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I've got quite high hopes for it.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Do you know what? I'm just quite in love with this wee tortoise,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43and I reckon it could do 70, 80, 90. I don't know.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Chaps, you don't have to decide now.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47However, for those of you at home,
0:34:47 > 0:34:49here's what the auctioneer thinks about the tortoise.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Have you got a name for it?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56I hadn't thought of that, you have to give me a bit more warning to think of that one, Tom.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01- I'm sorry...- Well, there was one called George, wasn't there?- There was. We'll call it George for now,
0:35:01 > 0:35:02that's fine. Yeah, poor George.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05He hasn't got much age to him, if anything. If I'm being polite,
0:35:05 > 0:35:08and he is mass-produced.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11He's decorative and if people like tortoises, you know.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13So your estimate is...
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- £30-£40.- £30-£40?
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Well, Natasha shelled out...
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- LAUGHTER - Very good.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22- ..£55.- Oh, my goodness. Right, yes.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24So you're the auctioneer today.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26I am and I shall do the best I possibly can for everybody.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Under Elizabeth's gavel, we'll be fine.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Is this your first auction?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Yeah, yeah, yeah, well, this time.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45- Done car auctions, but, yeah. - Oh, right. so you know the buzz
0:35:45 > 0:35:48- of, like, a car auction. - Yeah.- Bit quicker though, isn't it?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Yeah, yeah, pretty mad. This is good.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55Your first item is this Eastern brass/copper dragon head.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56And it's up now.
0:35:56 > 0:35:5720, I'll take.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00It's a lovely item there. £20.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Bid, sir. 20, I have, where's 2?
0:36:02 > 0:36:06I have a £20 bid to my left. 20 now, where are you, 22 bid?
0:36:06 > 0:36:0725, 28.

0:36:09 > 0:36:1230, still by the door, at 30. Where's 2 this time?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I have 30, am I missing anybody else?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16£30 and selling!
0:36:16 > 0:36:17GAVEL BANGS

0:36:48 > 0:36:50now looking for 2.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Surely worth more - not much each at £40
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- for 11 badges at £40.- £40.- Any advance?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57GAVEL BANGS
0:36:57 > 0:36:59£40, boys. That's minus 15.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Minus 15, you're zero. So you've got zero at the moment.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04It's all on this. It's all on the big champagne.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07The Magnum champagne bottle, for shop display,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Start me at £20.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11On the bottle at £20.

0:37:23 > 0:37:25OK, well, I will take a bid on my book, £10 bid.
0:37:25 > 0:37:2710. I thought it'd make more than that.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29£10 commission, interest at 10. Where's 12?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32Any advance on my sheets at £10?
0:37:32 > 0:37:33BANGS GAVEL
0:37:33 > 0:37:35- Oh!- Rather steep. - Just wasn't your day.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38There's minus £3. it could be a winning score.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41It could be a winning score, now what do you want to do?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43No brainer, we do it, we go with it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- Yes, yes.- We're trusting this Nick, not that Nick.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47THEY LAUGH
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Right, well I can now tell you that Nick paid 25 for them.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52I think the auctioneer doesn't really understand skiing.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55She told me she's not a skier. She's only put 15-20 on them.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57But they're a good prop.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Now, I have interest on the sheets here,
0:37:59 > 0:38:02and I start at £12.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03£12 is bid.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Go on, make it 50.- £48.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23They will sell.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27- GAVEL BANGS - Yes!- Well Done, £48, that's a profit.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34Which means £20 plus.

0:38:49 > 0:38:52- First auction?- Yes.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16Go again, net, if you wish, at £15.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19Is there anybody else at 15? And selling.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- That was terrifying.- 15. - That was terrifying.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24There we are. It was, you're quite right, Natasha. It was fib.

0:40:28 > 0:40:29- 55.- NATASHA:- Come on.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Having a conflab.

0:40:38 > 0:40:42At £70 with its tripod. At £70. Any advance now?
0:40:42 > 0:40:43GAVEL BANGS
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- £70, that is minus... - Can you believe that?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Minus 15 on that.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50So that makes you
0:40:50 > 0:40:53a total of minus 32, as we stand.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54That could be a winning score,
0:40:54 > 0:40:57it could be, but what are you going to do?
0:40:57 > 0:40:59You've got the bonus buy, you've got the tortoise.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I think we should go for it, beat those squaddies.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05You've been real sports. It could go and...
0:41:07 > 0:41:09..it's not going to fly, cos it's a tortoise.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Charming little piece there. Interest on the sheet shown.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15And I start here at just £22.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18£22 bid. At 22, I'll take 5.
0:41:18 > 0:41:2125, 28, 30, 32.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Lost the room. It's back with me at 32, where are you at 5?

0:41:32 > 0:41:34- NATASHA:- No! No, no, no, no.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36GAVEL BANGS
0:41:36 > 0:41:39£35. That's minus 20 on that lot.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Which means minus £52, in total.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45I was convinced that would go for 70 quid.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- Now, chaps.- Almost speechless.
0:41:47 > 0:41:51Minus £52. That could be a winning score. Say nothing to the Reds.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53Well done.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03Well, that was great fun for the boys, wasn't it? Well done.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06But one team will be going home with money, one team won't.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10So therefore, the runners-up today are the Blues.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11- Oh, well.- Oh, well.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12A winner!
0:42:13 > 0:42:17However, we'll come to you in a minute.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21The Blues, now, you did really, really well to start with. You know, it was plus £2.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- And then it just went a bit south, didn't it?- Very much so.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26So you ended up with a minus 52.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Don't laugh. Now, come on.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30Right, minus 52. I'm sorry, boys.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Anyway, men!- Win's a win.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35The win is a win! But if it wasn't for Nick
0:42:35 > 0:42:39and his amazing set of skis and poles...
0:42:39 > 0:42:41which made £48,
0:42:41 > 0:42:45thus giving you a profit of £20.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Get in there.- Get in there, I say.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49- It's all for charity. - That's fabulous.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52- We're going to match it as well. - Oh, good man.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54We're going to match it each and it's all for charity.
0:42:54 > 0:42:55- So that's good.- That's superb.
