0:00:03 > 0:00:06It may not have the styling and beauty
0:00:06 > 0:00:07of an Aston Martin...
0:00:09 > 0:00:11..or the power and performance of a Ferrari...
0:00:13 > 0:00:16..but who needs those?
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Just take a look at the optional extras!
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Hello!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:45 > 0:00:49The race is on for today's teams here at Newark Antiques Fair,
0:00:49 > 0:00:53to find three items in one hour with £300.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57No mean feat, cos it's the biggest one in Europe!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The Red team know what they like...
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I mean, at 50 quid, I think I'd buy it.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08You would?
0:01:08 > 0:01:09..and what they don't.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I wouldn't.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Whilst the Blues question their beliefs.
0:01:15 > 0:01:16Are you sure?
0:01:18 > 0:01:19You think I shouldn't be sure?
0:01:19 > 0:01:23At the auction, the Reds' expert could make or break them.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25No pressure, Ben.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I might just take my coat now and go.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32And the Blues finally regain their faith.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Look at the object, just look at it and believe.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I'm asking.... Look at it for the first time.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Going, going.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Now, that's all for later.
0:01:42 > 0:01:48Now, today, we are pitting courting couples against padres and for
0:01:48 > 0:01:51the Reds, we've got Paige and Adrian. And for the Blues,
0:01:51 > 0:01:52we've got Edward and Paul.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, the Reds. Adrian, you, I guess,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01are bit of a danger addict, because for a living you're a spark.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03So, you play with 240 volts?
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Yeah, I do that with my job. And, obviously, my job before
0:02:06 > 0:02:07was jumping out of aeroplanes.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Of course it was. Under what circumstances?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Well, I was in the Army and my job was a freefall instructor.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Right!- So, we used to take soldiers all around the world
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- and teach them how to freefall skydive.- Right.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I became national champion in 1996,
0:02:21 > 0:02:238-way formation motion skydiving.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25And that's what you're judged on, I take it?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Yeah, how many formations you can make as you leave the aeroplane.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Inevitably, you're going to hit the bottom, of course.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Well, hopefully not hit the bottom too hard. Open your parachute
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- before that happens. - Very good. Now, Paige,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40you're not averse to jumping out a perfectly good aircraft yourself,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- are you, I believe?- No, I've also done one skydive.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48I did a tandem skydive, to raise money for the preschool I work at.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Very good!- It was really exciting. - Really?- Yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Scarier than Bargain Hunt right now?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It's a close run thing, is it?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Jumping out of planes or shopping
0:03:00 > 0:03:01for antiques with someone else's money?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Yes, I guess the aeroplane's a little bit more scary.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, over to the Blues, Paul and Edward.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Now, Edward, tell me about these dangerous goings-on
0:03:12 > 0:03:14that take place in your church sometimes.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Well, a couple of years ago, I went on a circus skills training weekend
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and from that, I learned to do fire eating,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23which I then incorporated into our baptism services in church.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Fire signifies the holy spirit, a big part of baptism services.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So, to try and draw people into the celebration
0:03:28 > 0:03:31and give them something to take away as well.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Now, you're a bit of a football fan?
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I certainly am. I'm a Hull City supporter living in Grimsby,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39which is a little outside of the usual.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42But I love my football and when I was a child growing up,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44all I wanted to be was a goalkeeper.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Right.- I attended Bob Wilson's goalkeeping school,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51where I was coached by the Arsenal legend himself, Joe Corrigan,
0:03:51 > 0:03:52- the former England goalkeeper. - My word!
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I can't resist the pun - from saving goals to saving souls,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58that's quite a journey.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Indeed.- Now, Paul, you're a historian, I believe.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I was a historian and a history teacher,
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- before I became a Church of England priest, yes.- Yes.- For three years.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Any particular eras and fields?
0:04:09 > 0:04:14I particularly love Victorian, Edwardian, late Victorian,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16British, European, that sort of stuff and railway history as well.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19If the Victorian and Edwardian era is particularly
0:04:19 > 0:04:23your fancy, from a historical perspective, do you collect?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26And, if so, are objects from that era up your street?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Victoriana is the sort of thing that I prefer above everything else.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Seriously?- It's not the most fashionable stuff any more,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- that's the trouble.- I was going to say, you're that guy I've heard of
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- that collects Victoriana.- Yes, yeah. - Pleasure to meet you, sir.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- You're an endangered species. Do you know that?- I know, we're not looking
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- for much today.- I'll tell you,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45you'll have you pick out here, it'll be all yours.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Well, it's the moment where I prime you with all of £300.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53There you go, Paige. Look at that, £300.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Now, your trusty experts are awaiting you eagerly.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58So, off you go and the very best of luck to you.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Thank you.- Bye-bye! - Vamoose!
0:05:01 > 0:05:03What with skydivers and padres,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06are we going to be bringing home profits on a wing and a prayer?
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Font of all knowledge, for the Reds, it's Ben Cooper.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The Blues have the WHEELIE clever Natasha Raskin.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19OK, lovely Paul and Ed, what on earth are we looking for today?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Ed, start us off.- I'm looking for something expensive,
0:05:22 > 0:05:25something shiny maybe. I'm thinking maybe something with a bit of
0:05:25 > 0:05:28- a military, militaria type thing. - I want something small.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30You know, is it going to be something that we would be able to
0:05:30 > 0:05:32get a profit on?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I think something small, silver, bit exquisite.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK, teams, you've got 60 minutes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Get stuck in!
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Let's start shopping.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Small and shiny. I mean, certainly, there's a lot of glistening over
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- here, but I don't know... - Probably more silver than glassware.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48More silver than glassware.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oh, they're a bit scary.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Yeah.- Oh, God.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55You're a couple of magpies, aren't you?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Straight in for the shiny, shiny.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01Oh, yes. Made in China.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Definitely not Victorian then.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05What about this? I think it's a gun case, isn't it?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yeah, absolutely. It's known as a leg of mutton, because of its shape.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Obviously, you know, when you break the gun in half you have the barrel
0:06:11 > 0:06:13and the butt, so it makes it a shorter case for carrying.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16By being leather, of course, it will allow it to breathe.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20So, you don't want to have the gun sitting in moisture, obviously,
0:06:20 > 0:06:21particularly out on the field.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- I quite like the look of that. - She's got £60 on it.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27She's trying to make living, but we're also trying to make a profit,
0:06:27 > 0:06:28so we've got to find our balance.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- See if there's a bit of a bargain. - Is there any move that you can do on
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- the 60?- I can do 50, but no less.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- So, the lady said 50.- 50 quid? If it's a good quality one and...
0:06:37 > 0:06:39- I mean, it looks nice to me. - Do the straps do up?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Looks like it's proper old leather.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44All the straps are still here, the handle's in good condition.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Often, you'll see where it's been re-stitched
0:06:46 > 0:06:47where the handle comes apart.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Who would buy something like this at auction?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51There's mixtures of people.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Obviously, there's members of the trade,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58who specialise solely in sporting memorabilia. You also have people
0:06:58 > 0:07:00who specialise in shop displays.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So, some of the big gunsmiths in London and, of course,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06they want to have a period look and so they will be scouting options to
0:07:06 > 0:07:09buy things like this. So, it's a bigger spectrum of people
0:07:09 > 0:07:13than you might think would be looking out for a piece like this.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14The lady's been very generous.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17I think there's a chance that it could make a profit at auction.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20- It's in a good state. Look inside. - Oh, it you can smell it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Oh, it's wonderful, isn't it? - It's wonderful, yeah.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25So, what do you think? Are you going to go for it?
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Yeah, it's not small and silver. We might need something small
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- and silver to look at.- I think it could be your turn next time, Paige.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Right, let's give the lady 50 squiddlydids.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- Thank you ever so much. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39That's a great start, Reds. First buy in ten minutes,
0:07:39 > 0:07:40paid in squiddlydids.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Now, the Blues seem to be ignoring my advice.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I'm a big Victoriana person. - Me too, I'm all about it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Yeah?- There's some things that I like,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52but I don't know whether anybody would buy them or not.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55You know, these anchors, I think they're really interesting.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Anchors are great. Bearing in mind,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59we're going to an auction in Derbyshire.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03While the Reds are all at sea, the Blues are struggling too.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Anything at all? Anything coming at you?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- No.- You're not into your glassware.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Any time that we see glassware, you sort of...- No.- Instantly turned off.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Unless it's really good, classic '60s stuff,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I think that's probably the only thing that people are really into
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- at the moment.- So, things like this vase do fit into that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yes, they do.- Almost like a lava lamp sort of idea.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Ed's terrified. Horrified.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Let's have a look.- Do you want to have a look at it?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Yeah, let's have a look.- See if we can find any marks on the bottom,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34cos that's what it's all about. But I think it's a nice bit of
0:08:34 > 0:08:37decorative glass. So, we can see it's hand-blown, it's got a pontil
0:08:37 > 0:08:40mark at the bottom. Someone's taken the time to really grind that down
0:08:40 > 0:08:43to make it a nice smooth pontil.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think one thing it's got going in its favour
0:08:45 > 0:08:48is a really minimalist, but super-attractive shape.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yeah. Yeah. It goes with the modern minimalist style.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Shall we ask how much this is?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- Yeah, do you want to ask away?- He cannot believe that you're asking
0:08:56 > 0:08:59about glass. Cannot believe it. Why not? Excuse us, sir,
0:08:59 > 0:09:02sorry to interrupt you from your lovely breakfast cooking.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04We're wondering how much you have on the vase?
0:09:04 > 0:09:06- £15.- £15.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Plenty of room in that for you.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Possible. Mark it down as a possible?
0:09:11 > 0:09:15It's a possible or is it a strike while the iron is hot?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17There are two choices. The clock is ticking.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I'll leave this one over to you, I think.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I've got 25 on it and I took a tenner straight off it.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29- Come back.- Come back? OK. Well, hopefully it's still here.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- That was very kind of you. - I'm not an impulse buyer, but, yeah.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35If it's gone when you come back, it's gone.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Yeah.- I know. We'll only have ourselves to blame.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Yeah.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43That's a cracking offer, but as we near the 20 minute mark,
0:09:43 > 0:09:44I wouldn't mull over it too long.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Back with the Reds, and Adrian's blokey item bagged,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Paige is on the lookout for something that's more her.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You like looking in these sort of things, don't you?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I do. I like the look of this.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Initially, I thought it was silver, but feeling it,
0:10:00 > 0:10:01I'm thinking maybe not.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03It's obviously plated.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05You can see where the silver has rubbed through the top
0:10:05 > 0:10:07and shown the copper underneath.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I mean, it would probably only go for, at auction, £15 to £20,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- that kind of price.- Oh, OK.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16OK, you're on the right lines.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19But, like Ben, I think there's better out there.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now, are the Blues still debating the vase?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Do you think we should...
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- You think I shouldn't be sure? - You look quite smitten.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Well, I was, but...
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Yeah, do you think so? Go for it now?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34I think it's a great buy at 15 quid, to be honest with you.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I think it's a gorgeous thing, very trendy at the moment.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- We do need to make a first buy. - Yeah, yeah...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Yeah, we'll get our first buy. At least we'll
0:10:42 > 0:10:44have accomplished something. That would be good.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- You're going to go back and have a bash?- Yeah.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50- You said 15.- Yes.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We're looking to make on this.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Right.- 12, could you do it for 12 as a best price?
0:10:55 > 0:10:57I'll do you a really, really, really big favour.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- You can have it for £10. - Oh, right.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That is on. A cracking deal. That's got to be a deal, mate.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05That really is a deal. We're really impressed with this.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- God bless you, sir.- Thank you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07What a legend.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- Thank you, bye-bye.- But a lengthy debate over a £10 purchase is
0:11:11 > 0:11:14a sure-fire way of running out of time.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17By contrast, the Reds aren't hanging around.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm an electrician. We're just walking past a load of lights.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23I was looking for something that, sort of, they used to sort of dangle
0:11:23 > 0:11:26down from the ceiling of a factory or something like that,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- that's been repurposed. - Some of the big enamel ones?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31There's also some which I saw down there, which have got the holophane
0:11:31 > 0:11:36- shades on.- Yeah, those ones, yeah. - They're probably going to be beyond
0:11:36 > 0:11:39our realm. What kind of money have you got on these?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41£50 on the green ones.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- Yeah.- £30 on the yellow ones.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45The yellow's got a little tiny crack.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- Has it?- In the actual lens. - Oh, I can... Yeah.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51On the ground, they look like the glass shades.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54They're a plastic shade. They're not actually as old.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- You see the labels on top. - Yeah, they've got the CE sign.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00- Yeah.- I mean, at 50 quid, I think I'd buy it.- You would?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Yeah.- I wouldn't.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Good on you, Paige.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Adrian's had his turn.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12Now, Blues go from the vibrant and modern to the complete opposite.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Look at this beautiful circa 1880 rostrum.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18That's a lovely thing, isn't it?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21My Victorian taste, yes, but...
0:12:21 > 0:12:24Have you got Paul Laidlaw hovering around your mind right now?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26He's ever-present in my mind.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28I think it's a cool thing.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30It just reminded me of you guys giving your sermons,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33but maybe you want to get away from that today.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- Very possibly.- Very possibly.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37It looks kind of good from the front. From the back, does it...
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- Is it a solid piece? - It is solid from the back.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I think it's all right. It's got a kind of an easel stand.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46There's a little hinge on one side
0:12:46 > 0:12:48that makes sure it doesn't go too far and falls if you put
0:12:48 > 0:12:52a particularly heavy tome, like one of your Victorian Bibles,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54on top, it wouldn't go too far and collapse.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's just smacks of a little bit of quality.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Is it walnut?- I think it's veneered in walnut.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04And that walnut veneer is continued on to the easel back as well,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06on to the stand. I think it's a really pretty thing.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10- But it's not cheap.- It's 90 quid, almost, for a book stand.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12And books are a little bit out of fashion.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Could you go a little lower?- Have it at 60.- You'd do it for 60?- 60.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- What do you reckon?- I had my way with the vase.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19You have your way with the books, yeah?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22If you're not going to get a book, get the next best thing.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Next best thing. OK. I think that's a deal, sir. Thank you so much.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Did that just happen? £60? - It did.- OK. OK, well,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31let's say thank you very much and go find our third item.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Thank you.- Thank you, bye-bye. Off we go.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Well done, well done.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37The Blues prove they can make quick decisions
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and there's still half an hour to play with.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Now, while the teams crack on,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I'd like to show you something that in its day
0:13:44 > 0:13:47was at the cutting edge of technology.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Now, in an age where your mobile phone,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02your television and probably also your car will be obsolete within
0:14:02 > 0:14:06a decade, let me show you something that had a useful working life
0:14:06 > 0:14:09of almost 400 years.
0:14:09 > 0:14:14Standing next to me is what I'm sure you will call a chainmail shirt.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18But you'd be wrong. As that term wasn't coined until likely
0:14:18 > 0:14:22the 19th century. This is a shirt of mail.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Mail armour was in use from classical times.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27The Roman legionary would use it.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30The Bayeux tapestry shows Saxons and Normans wearing it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And in the Sudan in the 1890s,
0:14:33 > 0:14:38certain Mahdist cavalry fighting the British wore shirts of mail.
0:14:38 > 0:14:43If you look at these links, they are solid.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45There's no break,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48like that watch chain of yours, where the lengths butt together.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52These links are either welded or riveted solid.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55So, it's incredibly difficult to pull them apart.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59And therein lies its protective strength.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Now, this particular shirt was found in the hands of
0:15:03 > 0:15:06a general antique dealer. But it didn't look like this.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It was longer in the arm and longer in the body.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12And of a form that we would associate with
0:15:12 > 0:15:15the aforementioned Mahdist troops fighting in North Africa
0:15:15 > 0:15:20in the late 19th century. And it was brought on that basis.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Under close examination, its true nature was revealed.
0:15:23 > 0:15:29We have, before us, a heart of medieval mail,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32probably made in Italy around 1510.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35This was picked up for all of £200.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39In its restored state, as it would have appeared back in 1500,
0:15:39 > 0:15:44its true value today is £3,000 or £4,000.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49And that is a margin I'm not going to get shirty about.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Back to the shopping, and with 25 minutes left,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03the Reds only have the gun case. Whereas, the Blue team
0:16:03 > 0:16:05have bought a vase and a book stand.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09And it seems there's a pattern emerging with their tastes.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10I think, to be honest with you,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13the only way in which we would get any money back
0:16:13 > 0:16:17is if we were to buy the whole lot for about a fiver.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Pewter dishes are so out of fashion, to be honest with you.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21- Yeah.- When it comes to buyers...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Yeah, it's the same as Victoriana stuff.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27No, no, don't listen to that Paul Laidlaw.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Aye, you cheeky young scamp.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32It's not shouting out at me saying, "Buy me."
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Now, come on, Reds.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36I think you've lost your early vigour.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I will admit there's nothing hugely enthralling.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40No.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Blues have an answer for that.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44They're heading indoors.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49It's where the high class, high risk gear is.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51We've got to stay focused and determined.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And, you never know, something completely bonkers
0:16:54 > 0:16:56might catch our eye.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57I like the look of this.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I don't know what it is, but it's pretty and it's silver.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03It is a silver handle for a cane, for a walking cane or stick.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Oh, OK.- So, it's designed to sit in your hand.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- It's got a nice clear hallmarks on the side.- Very pretty.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Come on, dazzle us with your knowledge.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Where were the marks from? - Well, you've got the lion passant.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16The lion's on all four.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19That means it's English silver, of sterling quality.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22So, it's 975 purity.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26If you've got a lion sitting on his back, he'll be a Scottish chap.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29This is an English one. Then you've got the leopard's head
0:17:29 > 0:17:31in the middle. That means it was assayed in London,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34early 20th century to the late 19th century.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- OK.- And what you've got is a very nice, chased design.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42There is a huge amount of people who collect canes.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45And also people find a nice cane, but they haven't got a nice top.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48Ah, I was just going to say, would this be a collectors item in its own
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- right, or would it be collected and used?- There are some people who
0:17:51 > 0:17:53collect them. I mean, they are...
0:17:53 > 0:17:55The one thing I find, when you look at a piece like this,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58there's a lot of workmanship goes into this
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- and the ticket price is only £18. - I was thinking it seems reasonable
0:18:01 > 0:18:05without haggling. We have to haggle though.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08You've got to go down a little bit. I must admit, you know,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10at a price like this, if I was selling it,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13I wouldn't be selling it down to a tenner, because it is so reasonably
0:18:13 > 0:18:17priced already. So, why don't you ask...
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Here, Paige, your turn. - I think it's very pretty
0:18:19 > 0:18:21and I'd like to ask £15. What do you think?
0:18:21 > 0:18:23I think that's very fair and very reasonable.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Do you think £15, sir? Would you take £15 from us?
0:18:26 > 0:18:27Yes.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Thank you. It's very pretty. - Great, thank you very much, sir.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Cheers.- Loving your work, team.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Upping the pace and grabbing your second buy with 15 minutes to go.
0:18:37 > 0:18:42So, it's even-stevens as the Blues drop down a gear.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46So, time is going to run away from us if we carry on kind of ambling.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Good heavens!
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Let's leave the Blues meandering and see if we can pick up the pace with
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- the Reds.- I'm going to go and have a look at those,
0:18:58 > 0:19:00there's some cabinets over there and stuff.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Do you want a quick look?- Quickly? - Yeah, let's do it.- Quickly?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Right.- We've got to be quick, because we've only got 12 minutes.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Yeah, that's right, Ben.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Now, the Blues have spotted some Victorian bling.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It's quite flashy. £130.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19It's a lovely card case made of mother-of-pearl.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21OK, thank you very much.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Time is running out.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Let's have a look. OK.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28So, gents, have a peer, have a feel.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Very tactile objects and made for the inside breast pocket.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35And they're made to be pulled out,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37so they would have been touched a lot.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Is your index finger a wee bit sore?
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Look, it's left a little dot on your finger, because it wouldn't normally
0:19:42 > 0:19:45have left that. Because it would have a nice, wee,
0:19:45 > 0:19:48round, soft button on it. So, it's a little bit damaged.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We can see there is some damage there.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51No hallmark on the silver,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54but we can quite confidently say it's silver.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58You wouldn't bother overlaying silver plate onto mother-of-pearl.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's got its original lining and the hinge works quite nicely.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06How do you feel about card cases as functional items in today's society?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Probably not a huge demand for them.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Perhaps, to a collector, it is a piece that might appeal.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13It's decorative, seems to be well made.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16The thing we really need to talk about is the price.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I can't go below 100.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Not even down to about...90, 95?
0:20:22 > 0:20:24No.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29With time so tight, the Blues might be forced to pay top dollar.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32While they negotiate, how are the Reds getting on?
0:20:32 > 0:20:34I quite like both of those.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37Either of those look interesting?
0:20:37 > 0:20:40The bottom bowl is really quite simple.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It's not going to catch the eye a lot.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46The top... Can't even tell whether it is silver.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It doesn't look like it is, but let's get it out
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- and have a little look. - It's an interesting piece.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It is nice, it's marked at 45.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57It's not my cup of tea, really.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I think it might not be mine, initially,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01but, actually, I think it's quite interesting.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03There we go, we have got a hallmark on the side.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06So, it is silver, even though it's very tarnished.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- London, probably around 1890.- Oh.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13And, actually, what's nice
0:21:13 > 0:21:14is it's in good condition.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Very often...- I was going to say, it looks too new.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Well, yeah, very often in polishing, people get overzealous and they can
0:21:20 > 0:21:23wear away, particularly in a decoration, it can wear too thin.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25I would not have thought that was that old at all.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Well, it is.- I'm shocked. - It's old and interesting.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- It's old, it's interesting... - Like us.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33You are not old.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36But it's... No, it's in lovely condition.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38I really like this piece.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41So, you reckon it's between this and the lights, really, isn't it?
0:21:41 > 0:21:42We're going to need to buy this now or...
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Shall I just leave it in your hands
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- and I'll go across and ask the dealer.- If we think this is...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50You know. I don't know. I wouldn't buy it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Leave it to Ben, see what he comes back with.- We've got a bit of
0:21:53 > 0:21:56good news. She's done more. I was expecting at a price like this,
0:21:56 > 0:21:58for a silver bowl it would be £40. She said 35.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- 35.- So, that's a tenner off.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04So, we think there's a bit of profit in there, auction-wise?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Yeah, yeah, certainly. I'd have thought at auction it should have a
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- £50 to £80 estimate. Should do.- Right. Let's do it.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Third item.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Three items down. We've done it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Right, cup of tea time.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Cup of tea time.- Nicely done, Reds.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22And with time to spare for a brew.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25We are in the dying minutes now and the Blues are still trying to get
0:22:25 > 0:22:27a deal on the final item.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29And there's no way we could get the card case in two figures?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Definitely not. - Definitely not?- Definitely not.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- It's got to be 100. - 95. 95 and we'll take it.- No.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39OK. OK.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42OK, this is your splash of the cash, this is your expensive item.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44This is the splash of the cash.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- Let's do it.- OK, go for it then.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Thank you very much.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Sacre bleu! That was close, because...
0:22:52 > 0:22:53time's up.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Terrifying.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Let's reflect on what the Red team bought.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Quick as a shot,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05they picked up the leg of mutton gun case for 15 squiddlydids.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Sorry, pounds.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10The silver cane finial appealed to Paige,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13who was happy to pay £15 for it.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19And to finish, they walked away with the late Victorian silver sugar bowl
0:23:19 > 0:23:20for £35.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Paige, Adrian, that seemed a leisurely affair.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- It was good.- We're pretty calm, aren't we?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29It seems it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So, tell me, what was your favourite lot, Paige?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I like the small silver pot.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I really like the decoration on it
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and the fact that it was solid silver.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Works for me. Is it going to be most profitable, though?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43I think so.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Do we have a consensus, Adrian?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- Favourite lot?- My favourite lot is the gun case, definitely,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51from a personal point of view. But I think Paige's probably right,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I think the most profit - probably going to be
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- in the little silver pot.- We're of one mind.- Did you hear that?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Feel good?
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Savour it. Now, what did you spend in all?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02£100.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04£100?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Frugal. What we suggested.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08It's more than I was expecting.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- Someone owes me £200. - You got it?- No.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14No-one goes until I get my money.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- It must be me.- Thank you very much, Paige.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Not holding it for long. Ben, seen anything on your travels?
0:24:21 > 0:24:22I've seen a few things.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25And it's nice to have a decent dollar to spend.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26So, we'll see what we can do.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Meanwhile, let's go see what the Blues have bought.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33After much deliberation,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35they brought the decorative glass vase for £10.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42Next, they paid £60 for the Victorian walnut music stand.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Lastly, they picked up the mother-of-pearl
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and white metal card case for £100.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- Paul, Edward, what happened at the end?- We ran out of time!
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Had to make a snap decision. - Panic set in, I'm afraid.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03So, tell me, what's your favourite purchase?
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Is it the obvious one?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08No, my favourite purchase is the one at the end, the card case.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Because it's beautiful, it's lovely. - Is there profit in it?
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Is that the one? - No.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Well, we'll see. But I don't think so, I don't reckon so.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- But it is lovely.- OK. Edward, do you agree?
0:25:19 > 0:25:20What's your favourite lot first?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I think my favourite one would definitely be the book stand.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26It's more my kind of thing. I think as an object as well,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- it's really nice. - Could it be the most profitable?
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I think possibly the vase, actually.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33- Right.- I think that might do it for us.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34It was a very good deal on the vase.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36What did it all add up to, price-wise?
0:25:36 > 0:25:37170.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39£170.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So, who's got £130 change?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I have here. There we are. - Thank you very much.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Natasha Raskin, are you going to be good with this?
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Listen, I'm going to try and find something.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52I don't know, a little less...
0:25:52 > 0:25:55stressful. Plain sailing, I think, for the bonus buy.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Right.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59And relax.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So, whilst Natasha does the business for her team,
0:26:05 > 0:26:07let's cross over to the saleroom.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Well, we have headed west from nought to Derbyshire
0:26:11 > 0:26:13at Hansons Auctioneers with Charles himself.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- How are you, Charles?- Hello, Paul. Very- well, thanks. Good to see you.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- You, too.- What think you of this offering?
0:26:19 > 0:26:22For the Reds, we kick off with this leg of mutton gun case.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- What do you think of that, is that your thing?- Yeah, I think, Paul,
0:26:25 > 0:26:28the team have brought something which really does fly
0:26:28 > 0:26:31in Derbyshire. Anything which is sporting related.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36This is patinated, glowing and my guide is between 40 and £60.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40Well, that sounds healthy enough. The team paid £50.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Good start.- But we go from there to the piece of silver.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I believe it's off of a walking stick,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48what you might call a finial or the pommel, palm end.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53And it's really not overly popular in the market.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57It's London, in 1913, it's nicely chased.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59So, in terms of value, Paul,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I've been quite hard to say between 10 and £20.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Safe to say, £15 was paid. So, we are out of the danger zone.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- It sounds fair enough.- Good, good.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So, from a piece of something to, in its entirety,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15rather a pleasing little sugar bowl.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Paul, that's better because it has this market of fresh appeal.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19What I like about this is it dark.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21It hasn't been cleaned
0:27:21 > 0:27:25and you can just be the depth of detail jump out at you
0:27:25 > 0:27:27in that recousse embossed work.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31This is London 1893, very, very stylish.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34I hope it might make between 30 and £50.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Well, yet again, we seem to be in safe territory.
0:27:38 > 0:27:39£35 paid.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41They may not need a bonus buy.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44But, in case they do, let's go and see what they've got.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Paige, Adrian, you spent a conservative £100,
0:27:49 > 0:27:52leaving Ben a considerable 200 to invest.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Show us what you bought.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58The lights.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Oh!
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I don't know how you managed that.
0:28:03 > 0:28:0675, I spent on the two.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07- Right.- Oh, good.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Did we say these weren't the proper antique ones?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yeah, they're not old, no.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15They're the look. They're modern copies.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18The shades are plastic, as opposed to the original glass holophane.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But they've got the look, they've got the real
0:28:20 > 0:28:23sort of industrial feel, which is really popular at the moment.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I like the look of them. I think they'd look great
0:28:26 > 0:28:29dangling from a long lead and from a high ceiling.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32We're chuffed.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34They should get up to the hundred-ish.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Right. Because I think 40 quid a pop for those is...
0:28:36 > 0:28:40If you were buying them new, they would probably be in the region of
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- £200, £300 each. - Yeah, I would've thought so.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43That's the kind of money for lighting.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Brilliant.- Excellent. - Happy with that.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48- Yeah, really pleased.- Thumbs up all round then, is it not?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51You don't have to decide now. We know you like them.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54You don't have to decide whether you're going to run with this bonus
0:28:54 > 0:28:56buy until after the sale of your lot. But in the meantime,
0:28:56 > 0:28:58let's go see if the auctioneer thinks our lamps
0:28:58 > 0:29:00are going to shine on sale day.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Well, prominently displayed,
0:29:04 > 0:29:09Ben's purchase of two bang on trend industrial looking ceiling lights.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Do you rate them? - They are bang on trend.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16But are they true to their period, are they 1960s or '70s?
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Have they got a hint of age?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20No. But, Paul, they're lumpy,
0:29:20 > 0:29:24they're decorative and if we get the interior decorator here who's not so
0:29:24 > 0:29:28driven by a bit of age, they might just move.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It's all style and no...
0:29:30 > 0:29:32profit?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I mean, Paul, I think they'll do well.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37I really hope they make about £30.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- The pair?- Yes, are you happy with that?
0:29:39 > 0:29:42Poor old Ben, he staked £75 on that.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- £75.- Oh, crikey.- But I reckon if anybody's going to get them
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- in the room, it's going to be you. - Paul, I'll try.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Fingers crossed. Well, that was the Reds.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52The Blues, there's a varied offering.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55We kick off with that exclamation mark of a vase.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Do you like it?- That looks to be... What would you say? Late '70s?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00That's exactly where I'd put it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Late '70s. And I think it's got a certain look about it.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I get that. And we see,
0:30:06 > 0:30:11that is orange encasing a milk glass. That almost gives it a self
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- illuminating feel.- It's got depth in that colour, if not just one colour,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18you're quite right. It ought to make £20.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20The Blues will be very happy, doubling their money.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Oh, wow.- And knowing that you're a cautious auctioneer...
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- I am.- ..maybe they'll do better than that?
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Crossed fingers.- We're off to a great start, we're flying.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- Good.- From the 1970s to, I guess, 100 years earlier,
0:30:31 > 0:30:34our walnut music stand.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36What do you make of that?
0:30:36 > 0:30:37It's very aesthetic.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It's very...
0:30:39 > 0:30:42of that period, 1880s.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46Having looked at the reverse and one can see it has come off
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- that old style piano. - Would that be a bad thing?
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Not really, Paul.- Given the piano would perhaps be
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- more difficult to sell than the stand.- Correct, correct.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59My top estimate is £30.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Bottom, 20.- Half of what the Blues paid.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Oh, no. They paid £60 for it?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06They did indeed. But it will be the only one in the sale.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07- Exactly.- And if you want it,
0:31:07 > 0:31:10you better by this one, because you'll not get another chance.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- Exactly, Paul.- The next one's got a great big
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- unsalable piano bolted to it. - Exactly.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Take it away, please. Take it away.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Now, we finish with a lovely little visiting card case.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24- Is it a good one? - This is magnificent.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29I love the chased, engraved, ornate mother-of-pearl shell case.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33It's a really beautiful object and we always say buy quality.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Quality counts, quality matters
0:31:36 > 0:31:39and this calling card case is that, Paul.
0:31:39 > 0:31:45On a really bad day it shouldn't, but it might, make 50 or £60.
0:31:45 > 0:31:51On a really good day with the wind blowing, it might do 125, 130, 135,
0:31:51 > 0:31:53if we get a good day.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Well, I hope the weather's right, because we need that wind blowing.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58£100 was paid.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Well, on the whole, we may need a bonus buy.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Let's go and take a look at what's been pulled out the hat
0:32:04 > 0:32:06in that department.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Edward and Paul, you spent a healthy £170,
0:32:10 > 0:32:14leaving Natasha all of the 130 to invest wisely.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16What did you do with the 130, Natasha?
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Yes, I spent some of it, shall we say.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Some, not all, on this lovely Mappin and Webb candleholder.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Isn't it so cute?
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- It is.- It's got a touch of the Wee Willie Winkie about it.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32But it's not a wee, downtrodden item.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35It's Princess plate, so, good-quality silver plate.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38It's a gorgeous thing. And what do you reckon I paid for it?
0:32:38 > 0:32:4145?
0:32:41 > 0:32:4245?
0:32:42 > 0:32:46I managed to work the dealer down to £10 for it.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48How good is that?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Oh, that's brilliant.- Very good.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54The asking price was 38 and I thought, "Come on,
0:32:54 > 0:32:57"I've got to make a cheeky offer here." So, I did and he said, "OK."
0:32:57 > 0:33:01And it was the end of the day. So, luck was on my side.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- Yeah, definitely.- What does Natasha think it's worth under the hammer?
0:33:04 > 0:33:05More than £10?
0:33:05 > 0:33:0830-£50? 20-40, a bit conservatively.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- But what do you think of it? - It looks nice.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13That is timelessly elegant.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16You don't have to decide whether you're going with it now,
0:33:16 > 0:33:18we'll do that after the sale of your three lots.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20But in the meantime,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24let's go and see if the auctioneer thinks Natasha's chamber stick will
0:33:24 > 0:33:29light up the saleroom or the Blues' hopes will be snuffed out.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Now, are you going to be like Wee Willie Winkie over that
0:33:32 > 0:33:34or Ebenezer Scrooge?
0:33:34 > 0:33:38Isn't it wonderful, Paul, seeing an object serving its purpose?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Often, we see these chamber sticks lacking its snuffer.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43It's a charming object.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Mappin and Webb. And that looks a million dollars.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47It looks desirable.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Tell me the numbers, what's that going to make?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51I hope it will make £20 to 30.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Well, I hope you're right and I'm sure you are.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Natasha cleverly paid £10 for that.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Surely, how could she go wrong?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00- Exactly, Paul.- She saw the light.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Yeah, she did. May I, Paul, do the honours for you?
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Because it's great to use an original snuffer
0:34:05 > 0:34:08with a chamber stick. There we go.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10You're the man, Charles. Good luck to you.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Thanks, Paul.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16£50 for the gold earrings!
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Paige, Adrian, how's it going?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- It's good, it's good.- Cool as cucumbers or nervous wrecks?
0:34:22 > 0:34:23A little bit of nervous excitement.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26You can feel the excitement in the room.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28The first lot up is that leg of mutton gun case.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Here it comes now. - A really nice item here.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Bid here £20. Do I see five now?
0:34:34 > 0:34:35Surely, five. Five, ma'am.
0:34:35 > 0:34:3830. Five. Are you bidding? 35.
0:34:38 > 0:34:3940's my commission...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Five.- 45.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I'm out. At £45 bid...
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Oh, it's close, come on. - At 45 to a lady.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47Bid 50.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Come on!
0:34:50 > 0:34:51She says no, I say yes.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Come on.
0:34:53 > 0:34:5845 to a lady, we are going, going at £45.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well done. It's yours.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03You could smell that profit, it was that close.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05If we could have got it for a fiver less.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07A £5 loss. Here comes your best silver.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09A cane handle off a cane.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12George V. I'm only bid £8, I'm asking 10 now.
0:35:12 > 0:35:148 I'm bid. Got to go.
0:35:14 > 0:35:15Bid 10. The silver's worth that.
0:35:15 > 0:35:178 I'm bid. Surely a tenner.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Come on, you can buy a mystery gift for someone.
0:35:20 > 0:35:2210, 12, 15, sir.
0:35:22 > 0:35:2515. Surely 18?
0:35:25 > 0:35:2715 to a gentleman.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29All done? Fair warning.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31I shall sell to you, sir.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- It's yours.- Well, hey, no shame in that.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38That's fair enough. In Bargain Hunt world, this doesn't look bad.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Now, lastly, it's your favourite, the silver bowl. Here it goes.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Beautiful bowl, it's very fresh from the market, it hasn't been cleaned.
0:35:45 > 0:35:471893, it's a cracker.
0:35:47 > 0:35:4928, 32.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51I'll take 2. Who wants that?
0:35:51 > 0:35:54All done? I'll sell it on commission. Bid me 2.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Fair warning, selling.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- That's it.- Couldn't have tried any harder.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Look, another £5 loss. Do you know what?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06That's the £10 loss, which is going to be disappointing,
0:36:06 > 0:36:10but in Bargain Hunt world, that's no disaster. £10 loss.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- But the big question... - It's not a weekend away.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15You're certainly not getting a weekend away
0:36:15 > 0:36:17without gambling on the bonus buy. What are you going to do?
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- We're definitely going for it. - Go for it, yeah.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Definitely. Ben's going to bail us out.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26- No pressure, Ben.- I might just take my coat now and go.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30A very, very nice pair of modern, industrial style
0:36:30 > 0:36:35ceiling hanging lights fitting. They've got that retro look,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38haven't they? There we are. Very nice.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Do I see £10 for these?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44They are very, very striking. They are a pair as well.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Come on. You're bidding 10 there, I'm asking 12 now.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48They are wonderful value.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Come on, let's roll on.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Surely £12.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54Come on. Fair warning, I shall sell.

0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Is there anything to be nervous about?- The card case, I think.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Your big spend? - It was a big spend, yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Here's your first lot. It's the orange vase.

0:39:13 > 0:39:16- Oh, that's an odd testament. - It's low and wide.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- It is vague.- Circa 1890,
0:39:18 > 0:39:21you could place your credit or debit card in there as well.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23It has got a modern purpose.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Now, what are we going to do?
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Are we going to try and recover the situation with the chamber stick or
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- are we cutting and running? - We know what we're going to do.
0:40:10 > 0:40:11We will certainly go for it.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Try and retain some dignity.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- Claw some back. - It's a chamber stick.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Very, very nice, Mappin and Webb.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Well made. It's complete with its snuffer as well.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Showing for you there, I only bid £12, I'm asking 15.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26It really is terrific.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28At 12, 15. 20 I'm bid online.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31As 20 I'm bid, do I see 2 now?
0:40:31 > 0:40:33At 20 bid, surely 2.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Come on. Look at this object, it glistens in our light.
0:40:36 > 0:40:3922, hello, there. 22.
0:40:39 > 0:40:415 online, yes or no?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43Come on, internet. Click your mouse.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Come on, internet.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48At 22, bid 5 online.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51Or I sell to a lady, you're out over here.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54All out to a lady at £22.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58Going, going...
0:40:58 > 0:41:01- Thank you.- Well done, Natasha.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06A profit of 12, bringing your loss down to £61.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08But it could be a winning score.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Keep schtum out there. You'll be quietly confident.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Well, well, well, well, well.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25Heads hanging suitably in shame, I hope.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29But the fact that I've introduced the prospect
0:41:29 > 0:41:35of no great results today, sparked hope where there was none.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Maybe we lost money, but we didn't lose as much as the others?
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Well, I shall put you all out of your misery and say that amongst
0:41:43 > 0:41:46two teams who each managed to lose money,
0:41:46 > 0:41:49sadly, it was the Reds that lost the most.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51THEY GROAN
0:41:51 > 0:41:52- Good grief!- Wow!
0:41:52 > 0:41:59There was nothing in it, all of £9 separate you.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02And I shall go further.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05If we ignore the bonus buys,
0:42:05 > 0:42:07it would have swung the other way and you'd have won.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- What do you think of that? - Oh, sorry!
0:42:13 > 0:42:16It's no catastrophe, overall - lost a tenner.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19But then you made the mistake of putting your faith
0:42:19 > 0:42:22in the bang on trend industrial light
0:42:22 > 0:42:25and you blew it all to a sum of £70.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- But did you have fun? - Yes.- We did, yeah.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31It's good, isn't it? Well, you played the game
0:42:31 > 0:42:34and I like your style. We're not dwelling on the bonus buy.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40But the Blues who thought you'd lost it and recovered it, miraculously,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43I've got to say. There was light at the end of the tunnel
0:42:43 > 0:42:45and it was Natasha with a chamber stick.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Did you enjoy it? Was it good?
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- It was great, fantastic.- Yeah, great.- Well, we all had fun.
