0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today we are in Oswestry, where the renowned
0:00:05 > 0:00:08Reverend William Archibald Spooner was educated.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10The revered Reverend Archibald Spooner is
0:00:10 > 0:00:13best known for one thing - the Spoonerism,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16otherwise known as the knack of getting your
0:00:16 > 0:00:17words topsy-turvy.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22HE SPEAKS NONSENSE WORDS
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Now, there's nothing like a good Spoonerism
0:00:27 > 0:00:28to tickle your bunny fone.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Let's go Hargain Bunting.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34No! I mean, let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00The showground here at Oswestry's Park Hall
0:01:00 > 0:01:02has played host to North Wales's largest
0:01:02 > 0:01:05antiquing collectables fair for years.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Hunting through this vast and interesting
0:01:07 > 0:01:12collection of unusual items today is a challenge for our teams.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15They have £300 and only one hour to spend it.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22The Reds are in a frenzy.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24We might have three panic buys to buy.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Potentially, yes.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The Blues are hitting the bottle early.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Do you know what it is? - I like the effect on that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- It's for a drink, isn't it? - It is, yes.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36I could do with one now!
0:01:36 > 0:01:39And there's excitement at the auction.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41THEY GROAN
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- Oh, heck!- WE got it, we got it! - The drama!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But, first things first, let's meet our teams today.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52On the Red team we've got Jenny and Andrew.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54- Great friends.- Hi. - Good day to you.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And for the Blues we have chums Ed and Sam.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Good morning.- Hi.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- How are you all? - All right.- Yeah, good.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Fantastic! Now, Jenny, you already have a wide-ranging career.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Tell me about it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Well, I started out in an independent toy shop,
0:02:07 > 0:02:10where I used to get to play with toys all day, which wasn't bad,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13and up until recently I was at a museum where I
0:02:13 > 0:02:14used to run a 3-D printer.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I used to make all sorts of things.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Mainly toy rabbits, though.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- Toy rabbits?- Yeah.- Incredible!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Talking of rabbits, you've got something of an
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Alice in Wonderland obsession. Is that right?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26I do. Yeah. I collect vintage editions of the Alice books.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I've got about 30 of those so far.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29You also write books.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32I do. Yeah. I'm not myself when I'm not writing, I'll be honest.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36I've written two novels and one book of short stories so far, so
0:02:36 > 0:02:39hopefully you'll see one of those on the bookshelves at some point soon!
0:02:39 > 0:02:41What's your subject?
0:02:41 > 0:02:42A romantic voyage in antiques?
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Adventures!- Adventures in antiques? - Yeah!
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Adventures in antiques. Sure, why not?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Fantastic. Now, Andrew, what brought you two together
0:02:50 > 0:02:53was this great interest in Doctor Who.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57That's right. I met Jenny at a Doctor Who DVD signing in London.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00We were there at stupid o'clock, in a long queue.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04It started raining and Jenny and her friend had umbrellas, so they
0:03:04 > 0:03:07shared them with the people around them, so that's how we got to meet.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But what is it, Andrew, about Doctor Who that you love so much?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12I've always loved it. I've grown up with it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16It's just the escapism and the stories, and I loved
0:03:16 > 0:03:18all the toys and books, and the things which I
0:03:18 > 0:03:21collected when I was little and then gave away when I grew up.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And now that I'm in my second childhood
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I'm buying them all back again at stupid, inflated prices.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I like it. But another hangover from your, I suppose, childhood
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- is your interest in the trains. - Yeah.- Tell me about it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I was a train spotter at school and I got into photography that way as well,
0:03:37 > 0:03:39so I quite like going out and taking photos
0:03:39 > 0:03:43of any interesting steam trains and things like that.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Well, I really hope you don't come off the rails today!
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- What will be the tactics in the shop?- I'm going to do what I'm told.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Yeah, he is.- Really? - We discussed that. Yeah.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54He's going to do all the haggling, because I'm just useless with that.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I get the feeling, Andrew and Jenny, from Doctor Who and trains,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00you might be looking out for toys, like a pair of big kids!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- Absolutely, yeah.- We are, actually. Definitely, yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05And talking of kids, of course, over here, Ed and Sam,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- you look after children, don't you? BOTH:- We do.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- You are teachers. - We are, yes. We work together
0:04:10 > 0:04:13at a school in Stockport, at opposite ends of the school.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I'm more with the older children, Sam with the little ones, but, yes.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20We had some planning time together at school,
0:04:20 > 0:04:22and this is how this came about, really.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24I understand, Ed, that you are also
0:04:24 > 0:04:25a bit of a history buff. Is that right?
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Yes. My father used to drag me round castles in Kent
0:04:29 > 0:04:34every other weekend, and our holidays always seemed to involve
0:04:34 > 0:04:37visiting some ruins rather than a beach.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Now, Sam, I understand you teach younger children
0:04:40 > 0:04:41and you absolutely love it.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I've taught Year One for a few years and I've
0:04:43 > 0:04:46just been moved to Year Two. I love working with the younger kids.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You can't take yourself too seriously.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49- Just have a laugh with them. - Quite right.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53On the back of your teaching, your other great passion, perhaps,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55is the love to travel.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yeah. Luckily, with my job, we have fantastic holidays,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00so I've been able to take lots of interesting trips.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01I've been all around the world.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03South America, South East Asia.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I did a World War II-themed trip round Europe,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08and more recently, I went to Africa
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and went on safari in the Serengeti, which was just amazing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Fantastic. What are the tactics, then?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Ed's got the knowledge, but I think I've got an eye
0:05:15 > 0:05:18for what will sell, and if I like it, he's allowed to buy it.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Right, so I'm like my colleague over there,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- following orders. - I like it. I like it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's now that moment where I can hand you over
0:05:25 > 0:05:27that all-important £300.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Ed and Sam.- Oh, thank you.- There is yours. Spend it wisely.- We will.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Jenny and Andrew, there we are. - Thank you.- £300.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39Now, your expert awaits. The sun is shining. Good luck and off you go.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46So, which experts will be the shining examples for our teams today?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48He's larger than life for the Reds.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It's Jonathan Pratt.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55And look out! For the Blues, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58So, Reds, what are we looking for today?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Toys. I'm thinking teddy bears.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'm interested in things like perfume bottles,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05trinket boxes, things that could look nice on
0:06:05 > 0:06:07- a dressing table.- Excellent.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Some Railwayana, maybe? - OK. Railwayana.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16I lean much more towards books and sporting memorabilia, maybe.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17On your bike, teams.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19The hour starts now.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Come on. Let's go.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- We're going to make a fortune, yes? - Oh, yes.- Come on, then!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Off they go.- Fill your boots.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Are you good at compromising, Sam?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- No. I like to boss Ed about. - Moving on.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40Here's something you might like. Ring-a-ding-ding.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- It's probably made by Wedgwood. - Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44It's a reproduction. That's what they call the Jasperware,
0:06:44 > 0:06:45- Blue Jasperware.- Yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- It's definitely... - Ooh. It's heavy.- ..unusual.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52That's a good sign, actually. It means it has got workings.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53It looks like it actually might,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55once upon a time, it might have been a phone.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yeah. "Approved for connection."
0:06:57 > 0:06:59I like how it looks really classic.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Also, my mum has a Wedgwood plate, and it reminds me
0:07:02 > 0:07:04of that, in the cabinet. I just think it's really
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- nice and shiny.- I don't know, it's the word "kitsch", perhaps.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12I imagine this in a Louis XV-style, or 1950s, 1960s interior.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Your grandmother would
0:07:14 > 0:07:16have gone and spent fortunes on these things.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I think that's what appeals to me. Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20And there's a bit of ageing to the...
0:07:20 > 0:07:23The plastic's darkened a little bit, which gives it some age.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24It says Wedgwood on there.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27It's a really interesting object.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- I've not seen one before. - It doesn't...
0:07:29 > 0:07:30To value it is a hard thing.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Well, that's a good point.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35OK, guys. Let's ask the dealer what the price is.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38What? 300? That's all the money gone.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- No.- Let's just put that back there. - Would you do anything on it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- 250?- No. Oh, well.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Never mind. We'll find something else.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52You look genuinely cut up about it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- It's a really fun thing. Anyway. OK.- Thank you.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58JP, don't be too down.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00There's a whole fair to explore
0:08:00 > 0:08:03and something else is bound to ring your bell.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06The Blues are having a good look around, and of course,
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Sam knows what she really wants.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Now, I've spotted shiny things over there.- Shiny things.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- Right! Let's go.- Silver. - Shiny things.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19- Ooh. See, I love this. That's nice.- A hip flask?
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- Yeah.- Do you know what it is? - I like the effect on that.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Well, it's for a little drink, isn't it?- It is for a little drink!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I could do with one now!
0:08:28 > 0:08:29It's a bit early for that, Sam!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I thought you were after perfume bottles?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- And what are these glass bottles? - Now, those are
0:08:34 > 0:08:38part of a dressing set, you know, for your dressing table.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- That's a nice quality. - It looks nice.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- I like the detail on the top. - Yep. Engine-turned engraving.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47There's quite a few pieces to it, as well.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48Do you want to see how much that is?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Yeah, I would be interested to find out how much that is.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Do you want to see? Where's the lady?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- There she is, behind us.- Hi, guys.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- How much is the hairbrush set? - It's 300.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01It's 300. Right.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I mean, there is movement on it, but...
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- Yeah. I think that's a tad too expensive.- Yeah.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I know that. I wouldn't want to split it up.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12You would only sell it as a whole.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15A whole set, really. It would be a shame to split it up.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- All right. Thanks anyway. - Sorry, darling.- No problem. Come on.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Remember the rules!
0:09:20 > 0:09:24You only have £300. Speaking of rules, what have the Reds spotted?
0:09:24 > 0:09:27"All persons are warned not to trespass on the lines."
0:09:27 > 0:09:30You know, you do get reproductions of these sorts of things,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33but if you're going to reproduce something you'd reproduce something
0:09:33 > 0:09:34- slightly more...- Exciting.- Exciting.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37So, it's original. If it's not a collector's piece,
0:09:37 > 0:09:38then it has to be a decorative piece.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Yeah.- You might put it in your garden, but I'm not sure.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Time to motor on, I think.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47You've already had 20 minutes and no-one's bought anything.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49How are the Blues coping with the pressure?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51You've just rang a childhood memory
0:09:51 > 0:09:53of my dad tapping on the barometer to watch the weather,
0:09:53 > 0:09:55to see what the weather was going to do that day.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I think it's something that would appeal to me.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Whether or not it would appeal en masse, I don't know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's certainly not appealing to the girls.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08It's been varnished relatively recently,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10which isn't a good look.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- In my opinion, it's a bit treacly and not the original finish.- OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18But it's up to you. It's your £300.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- It said it's £55.- Right, OK. - Is that reasonable?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Well, it's not hugely expensive.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- No.- No, we're not going to make a massive loss on it.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31No, but I don't think you're going to make a massive profit, either.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34No, no. I don't think anyone would buy it to restore it in any way.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37I don't think it would be worth restoring.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Do you want to go for it? Do you want to make a bid?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I wouldn't mind. Maybe a £40 bid.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Right. Are you in agreement with that?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Go on. Shall we? - Yeah. We'll give it a go.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Ooh, I say! I thought there was going to be a bit of contention there.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Ooh, I say! Sam's letting Ed take charge on this one.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58- Would you take £40 for it? - No. Sorry, I can't do it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- I could do 50.- 45?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Hello? I thought Ed was in charge.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Go on. OK. I'll do 45. - Brilliant. Thank you.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Thank you very much. - Well done, Blues.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11You've bagged your first item but you're still under
0:11:11 > 0:11:14pressure to buy two more.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Right, that's excellent.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18You've got one thing bought and in the bag.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23But the bad news is we've got 28 minutes gone already.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26So we're halfway through the shop and we've only bought one thing,
0:11:26 > 0:11:27so what do you want to do?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- I think we should have a look inside.- Right, OK.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34That way looks furniture and quite big pieces.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I would agree with you, so, inside?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Are you in agreement? Come on, then. Let's go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Very decisive, team. I like your style.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Unfortunately, the Reds are not following suit
0:11:45 > 0:11:47and have yet to buy anything.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Something will grab me. - Something will grab you?
0:11:50 > 0:11:52That's what I hope. That's what I'm telling myself.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Let's leave them shopping for a while
0:11:54 > 0:11:57whilst I show you something I absolutely love.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06You might say it's boring, isn't it?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09But please stay with me. "What is it?" you might say.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12"It's just a lump of old wood that looks a bit tired."
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Well, it's a knife box.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19It's a knife box that was made when King George II was King of England.
0:12:19 > 0:12:221730, 1735.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24This mahogany object
0:12:24 > 0:12:28was within every great country home of that period.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33Mahogany came over from South America in around 1725.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35Ten years later, our craftsmen,
0:12:35 > 0:12:41our cabinet-makers, were mesmerised by this wonderful exotic
0:12:41 > 0:12:45South American timber. Up she goes, like that,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49and you are hit by the exuberance of this old red rag.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53This is period tapestry which many years ago
0:12:53 > 0:12:56made this old knife box a show-stopper.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59The term "knife box" is a slight misnomer because, in fact,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03a knife box would have carried spoons and forks
0:13:03 > 0:13:08and other utensils to create that experience over dining.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Look at this wonderful little ring handle here.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13This is so Queen Anne.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17This is the scar of where this ring, over many years,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20has dropped and has left its mark.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Another sure sign of real age.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27So, to a furniture historian like me with a passion
0:13:27 > 0:13:31for learning how antiques evolved, this reflects a time
0:13:31 > 0:13:34when we saw oak turning to mahogany and we saw
0:13:34 > 0:13:37etiquette move out of the 17th century
0:13:37 > 0:13:39into an 18th century of refinement.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42You may ask me what it's worth.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46Well, it cost me £80.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49What's it worth today? Well, it's probably worth £100.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51But if somebody came along and said,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54"Charles, here, have £1,000," I would say,
0:13:54 > 0:13:56"Thanks, but no thanks. Get out of here,"
0:13:56 > 0:13:59because when you buy history, you want
0:13:59 > 0:14:03something that tells a story, and this object
0:14:03 > 0:14:04is just that.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Back with our teams and they've had 35 minutes
0:14:16 > 0:14:18of their time already. The Blues have one buy
0:14:18 > 0:14:23under their belts but the Reds are struggling to find anything.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Let's cover some ground. - And JP's worried!
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- 25 minutes and three objects to get. - It's OK.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I'm glad you think so, Jenny.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Maybe you need to take the reins.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40It is really worn but I like that it looks loved, I think.
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Wait for the price. Do you want to ask him?
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- What sort of price is the horse? - It could be 180.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47I think that's too much.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49It's a good price for what it is.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- What do you think, Andrew? - I think 180 is a little bit more
0:14:56 > 0:14:57than I wanted to pay.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- 150?- I have turned down an offer of 150 but I will take 150.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04If you want to spend that much on it?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07It's so much, though. I know we haven't got much time.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- I think it's too much.- OK.
0:15:09 > 0:15:13- It could be your panic buy. - Yes.- We'll keep it in mind.- OK.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15We might have three panic buys to buy.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Potentially, yes. Yes.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23You're making me panic now, Reds. Please buy something soon!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Meanwhile, the Blues have moved inside
0:15:25 > 0:15:28and Sam is still leading the way.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30That little carriage clock's quite nice.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Carriage clocks, you did say you like carriage clocks.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Oh, it's £400.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39You have expensive taste, Sam. But there are some cheaper options.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41I think it's really nice that you can see...
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- The inner workings.- Yeah. - What have you found?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Well, I've just saw this and I thought it was really
0:15:46 > 0:15:51- interesting that you can see the inner workings at the side.- Yeah.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- I really like that. - It's not cheap.- No.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Listen, it's not CHEAP cheap, but it is what it is.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02- What did you say the best price? - I said we can sell it for £190.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04And you couldn't do any better than 190 for us?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I...
0:16:06 > 0:16:09We could perhaps squeeze at 180. But that's...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11What do you think it would go for at auction?
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Well, you see, there isn't a guarantee with an auction.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It's not like buying it from the gentleman here.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17You might well get you money back
0:16:17 > 0:16:20but I don't think you'll get a profit.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Could you try a little bit harder?
0:16:22 > 0:16:24That's it, sweet Caroline, keep trying.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28- Well, at a push, we'll do 170. - Shall we?
0:16:28 > 0:16:31- You want it, don't you, Sam? - I do, I like it, I like it.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34She can already see it on her mantelpiece at home.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38- Yeah, I do, I think it's really nice.- OK. It's a deal.- 170?
0:16:38 > 0:16:40- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Well, ladies, you're masters of the haggle.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44That's your second purchase sorted
0:16:44 > 0:16:48and it even comes with a case. Just one more to go.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Back with our Reds and Jenny's still on the lookout for toys,
0:16:54 > 0:16:57and she's spotted something even Andrew might like.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- What are you thinking, Andrew? - I do quite like it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01I really like it, I think it's sweet.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05It says here it's super detailed K's. LNWR, what's that?
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- London North Western Railway. - There we are, thank you very much.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Manufactured by K's Precision Models. All right.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Humbrol enamel railway paint in there,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17so it's basically a kit anyway.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20I think it's nice that it's still got everything.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- You can have that for ten.- Oh.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Uh-oh, I don't think JP likes the price.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29- How about a fiver?- No.- Six?- No. Ten.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32You're a hard man. I admire that.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- What are you thinking, Andrew? - I do quite like it.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- Look, OK, time is ticking away. - I think for a tenner...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- It's one down, two to go. OK. - I think it's sweet.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43OK, so...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Yes.- Yes.- They'll take it. Thank you very much!
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Awesome.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Well, we got there in the end.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55With 37 minutes gone, you're finally on the right track,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58having bought your first item.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01You'd better get a move on if you're going to catch up with the Blues,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03because they're still going strong.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06We need to find that last one now. We need to go for something small.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07I think now we've got the ball rolling,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10it shouldn't take us too long to find the final item.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13So, what have you spotted, Reds?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16It's nice. I like it, actually. It's pretty.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's acid-etched glass.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21The key to this one is that there, it says Baccarat.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26They were glass-makers of the 19th century, became very famous.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Top end stuff, really top end.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30They're still going and they are still making, you know,
0:18:30 > 0:18:34a lot of top products. Now, is it a decanter?
0:18:34 > 0:18:35I suppose maybe it is.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- How much are you asking? - 150.- Oh, man.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39Oh, man, why?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41150, I'll give you 50.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45So, you're bottling out?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48You really need to get a move on.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49These look quite ornate.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Do you know what that is? - What are these?- Ah!
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Lesson, gather in.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57I can be Miss for once. Do you know what it is?
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Erm...- I haven't a clue, no.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03- Not a clue.- Have you not? It's a button hook.- Oh.
0:19:03 > 0:19:08So if a lady had buttons on her shoes or buttons on her gloves,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11you would have this and you would fasten them up,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13the tiny little buttons.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- And the end of it is silver. - Yeah.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19This'll be steel because it needs to be strong
0:19:19 > 0:19:22to do those buttons and silver would be too soft.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And, at 15 quid, it's not a lot of money.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- No, it's not. - But, I don't know about you,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I don't use button hooks to do up my buttons.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32No, I just do it myself.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Well, that's lovely.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You're teaching the teachers today, Caroline.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Are things looking up for the Reds?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46A little meerkat. Meerkats are all the rage.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Yeah, I like bronzes because often there are things
0:19:48 > 0:19:51which we call cold cast and they're much lighter
0:19:51 > 0:19:53and they feel more tinnier,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55whereas this has got the right weight.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58You can see some yellow on the tail, you can see the base metal, the...
0:19:58 > 0:20:01It's bronze, a patinated bronze showing through.
0:20:01 > 0:20:02It's lovely and detailed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's not made yesterday because you can see in certain areas
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- it's been polished out. - Yeah.- You know, the ears.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10The bits that stick out normally.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12But the thing is I'm going to ask the same question
0:20:12 > 0:20:17- and I'm anticipating a more favourable result from this one.- 35.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22- Oh, OK. £25?- That's nice of you. - Oh, hang on, my ears.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Nice try, JP!
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- 27?- Yeah, I'll do 27.- Yay! - Do you like it?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I think it's sweet and I think, as you said,
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- meerkats are a popular animal. - People like meerkats, don't they?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36And they are really sweet, aren't they? I like the detail.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39It is a meerkat, isn't it? I think it is a meerkat.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42We're going to find out that it's a stoat or something.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- A stoat on its hind legs. £27? - Yes.- You happy with that?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Yes.- Yes. - Yeah, I think we should do it.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Number two, get in there. Right.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Thank you very much! Thank you. Brilliant!
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Well done, guys, you've got yourselves a meerkat!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59But what you don't have is much time to buy your last item.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02We've got ten more minutes. Come on, let's go.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Well, the Blues haven't gone very far
0:21:05 > 0:21:08and Sam is determined to find her dressing table items.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- There's some nice small bottles. - Scent bottles.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Is there anything there of interest?
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Well, one of them, you see the sort of rather fatter one,
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- that's a powder pot.- Ah, right.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25And, at £55, it's within your budget.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Do you want to look at the one with... That big one?- Yeah.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Can we have a look?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I like the detail on the top of that.- Do you?
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- It's looking good, Ed, it's looking good.- Oh...
0:21:38 > 0:21:40But is that quite worn?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Let's have a look.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45Now...one of my top tips for silver,
0:21:45 > 0:21:48because it's such a soft metal, too much polishing
0:21:48 > 0:21:50and you can rub through,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52especially on this lovely work here,
0:21:52 > 0:21:56which is known as repousse work. So it's pushed through.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59And this has got its lovely little original
0:21:59 > 0:22:03swan's down puff for powder puffing.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Powder coming off it.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07You can see the powder coming off it as we speak.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10The silver mark is here. Can you see?
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- And this is what's known as a vacant cartouche.- OK.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And that means that it would normally have
0:22:16 > 0:22:18somebody's signature on.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20But it's great that it hasn't got a signature on.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22So someone could personalise it?
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Yes, so you could buy it and put an S on it
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- and have it on your dressing table.- Lovely.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28So, do you like this, Sam?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I do like it but, Ed, what do you think?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33It's not really...
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- It's in the price range. - I like it more now!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38Yeah? It wants to be less than that.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Sorry, sir, that wasn't a demand,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- but we'd like it for less.- 45.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48See, to have some money left over, we need it at 40, really.
0:22:49 > 0:22:54- Go on. I'll do that at 40. - She's gone in there!
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- Are we happy?- Well, you wanted something shiny.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59It's shiny.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02What do you think it would get at auction? A little bit?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04If I was putting that in my auction,
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I would value that at £20-£40.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- Right.- So I would want to buy it at 30 but it's up to you.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19No. And it's come down from 55 to 40.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I don't know. I feel a bit under pressure to buy something
0:23:23 > 0:23:25because we're running out of time.
0:23:25 > 0:23:2739, you can have it for.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Could we be cheeky and ask for 35?
0:23:29 > 0:23:33- Go on, then. Yeah.- Thank you.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36She's done it again. Our Sam, she's done it again.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- I do like a bargain. - Excellent. All done.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42- Shall we get back out in the sunshine?- Definitely.- Let's. - Come on, then.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46Super haggling skills, Sam, with just five minutes to spare.
0:23:46 > 0:23:47You're all done, Blues.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50No pressure, Reds, but time is running out.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Didn't you say you wanted teddy bears, Jenny?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55- Do we like the bears here? - We like the bears.- The bears?
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Can we have a look at the bears, please?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02- Thank you.- They're sweet.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- I think they're really cute. - I think they're really nice.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I think bears were something we were interested in to start with.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09Yeah, and they look much loved,
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I think that's why I like them as well.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Would you do 15?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I would, yeah, go on.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Now you wish you said ten, don't you?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Do you know how old they might be?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- They're probably from the '50s. - Yeah.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27Bearing in mind... BEARING in mind...the time.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Your time, you know?- Yeah. - I think you have to go for it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I'm pleased with the price and I'm pleased with them.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35- I think they are really... - It's one bear each.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37There we are, look at that. You can now comfort each other.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41It was no teddy bear's picnic but you finally got there.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43ALARM RINGS
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Reel it in, teams. Your hour is up.
0:24:45 > 0:24:46- Well done.- We got there.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Right down to the wire. Let's go and have a well-deserved cup of tea.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51- Come on.- Sounds good to me.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Andrew wanted railwayana and he got it with this model train kit,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01bought for £10.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08They stuck their neck out and invested £27 in this meerkat statue.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12And with just minutes to spare,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15our toy-obsessed team found these teddy bears.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17Price paid? £15.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21It's amazing. You came to buy what you wanted, bears.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Yeah. That's what I was out to get,
0:25:23 > 0:25:25so I'm really pleased I managed to get hold of some.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- Two, in fact.- So, tell me, what is your favourite item, Jenny?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- I really like the bears, actually. I think they are really sweet.- Why?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34I like that they're in a pair and they look well-loved.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- But, Jenny, your wingman... How was it for you?- I loved it.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It was great fun and I was really pleased that we got a train.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44On a serious note, if I said to you, Jenny, what'll make the most money?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- I think the train, actually.- Why?
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Well, it's got all the pieces and I think it's an individual,
0:25:50 > 0:25:51sweet little thing.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I think the train. It's boxed. It's got the original paint.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- It's good to go.- Yeah.- So, tell me, you spent how much money?
0:25:58 > 0:26:06- We spent £52.- Oh, goodness me! So that means you must have 248?- Yeah.
0:26:06 > 0:26:12Wowee, JP. 248 is no mean spend. What's the plan?
0:26:12 > 0:26:13We looked at a lot of things.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16We dismissed a hell of a lot of them in the first half-hour,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17so I've no idea.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19This is your moment.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22While JP's away, let's go and find out what the Blue team bought.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25They were cool under pressure
0:26:25 > 0:26:29and bought this oak case barometer for just £45.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32With time ticking away,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36they managed to secure this brass carriage clock for £170.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41And finally, Sam wanted silver and sparkly
0:26:41 > 0:26:45and she got it with this silver and cut glass powder puff jar.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Price paid? £35.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Sam, you were pretty decisive. - Yeah. When I see something I want,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- I go for it.- Now, tell me, Ed,
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- what is that winning object?- Well, we think it's the carriage clock.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Really?
0:26:58 > 0:27:02San found it, identified it and bartered the guy down
0:27:02 > 0:27:07considerably, and we are hopeful that that might make some profit.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- And tell me, Sam. Your favourite find?- It's the same.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- The carriage clock.- Really?- Yeah.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- What did you spend? - We spent £250.- We did.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- A whopping 250?- Yeah. - Unbelievable.- Expensive taste.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- I need £50 back from you, Sam. - Yep.- Thank you very much.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26- Caroline Hawley.- Thank you, Charles. - What is the plan?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Well, I've been looking at a few things, I got a few ideas,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32but I'm going to keep it under my hat for now.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34But whilst, Caroline, you are on your voyage of discovery,
0:27:34 > 0:27:38it's now time for us to go to Whitchurch and the auction.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48We've stumbled into Whitchurch. Christina, wonderful to see you.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Jenny and Andrew, on our Red base, first of all, Christina.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I love these little what we call cave position model engineers.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Coal Tank.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- What do you think of it? - I think it's lovely.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01To be perfectly honest, it's just so lovely to have the box
0:28:01 > 0:28:04and its original content, isn't it? They've obviously given it a good go
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and given it a bit of a paint but they haven't completed it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- It's ready to be made, isn't it? - Absolutely right.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I think, as you say, boys' toys.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Something they can get their claws into, isn't it?- Exactly.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15What's it worth?
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- We have put £15-£20 on it.- It only cost- £10. Oh!- Good investment.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- So we are moving and grooving... - ..in the right direction.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Brilliant. Second item.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27I love these meerkats. What do you think of it?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29I don't know about you but when we go to the zoo with the kiddiewinks
0:28:29 > 0:28:32you always gravitate to the meerkats because they are so much fun.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33They're so busy, aren't they?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I think we have a huge affection, as a public,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39as a general public, for animals like this.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41It probably has got some minor age. Not a lot of age.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44No, not huge amounts of age and I think anybody that is a serious
0:28:44 > 0:28:48collector will want something by a better artist, potentially.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50What's it worth here in Shropshire?
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Well, we've put £30-£50 on it... - Good.- ..but again, on the internet,
0:28:53 > 0:28:54you never know.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I think it's looking very, very good.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00It cost £27, which is a really good, sure sign.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02At the moment, I see profit.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Can they do number three with these bears?
0:29:05 > 0:29:06The market loves bears
0:29:06 > 0:29:09and collectors particularly love bears that have a name to them.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12So you're looking at Merrythought, you're looking at Steiff,
0:29:12 > 0:29:16something like that. These guys don't have a name to them, sadly.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18They are a very sweet near-pair.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21We've got very, very similar features, although one has
0:29:21 > 0:29:24more of a pronounced little nose and, sadly, better ears.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25What are they worth?
0:29:25 > 0:29:29As a come-and-get-me estimate for a bear collector, we've put £15-£20.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- That's wonderful. They only cost £15.- Oh, really?
0:29:33 > 0:29:35So, to me, that looks a hat-trick of profits.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38And the golden gavel is beckoning.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41They might not want to go with JP's bonus buy
0:29:41 > 0:29:44but if they do, let's see what JP's bought.
0:29:45 > 0:29:52With £248, I'm sure he made it a good one.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Well, do you know, I actually said I might spend all of it...- But?- But?
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- You did!- Wow!- No, I didn't spend all of it, thankfully.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05But what we have here is a silver bowl
0:30:05 > 0:30:08from the end of the 19th century, from Burma.
0:30:08 > 0:30:13Beautifully embossed with figures in country scenes, with palms
0:30:13 > 0:30:15and farming scenes going on.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- So, how much did you spend? - Going straight for it. OK.
0:30:18 > 0:30:24- Just, I'm curious.- £65.- Oh, that's OK! Good!- You said it's collectable.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- How much do you think it will fetch? - Well, it's not going to go mad.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31I think it's worth sort of £60-£80, so you're going to tickle a profit.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34- It's a bit different. I like it. - So, guys, you can think about it.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Anyway, let's find out what the auctioneer
0:30:38 > 0:30:41thinks about JP's Burmese bowl.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47So, Christina, if they do, they might do, that is JP's bonus buy.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I think, personally, it's probably part of a tea set that
0:30:49 > 0:30:52has been split, so it would be great to have the rest of them, as well.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56But, nonetheless, I love the fact that it's got this wonderful, naive scene all around it.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59You've got these wonderful people in paddy fields. I think it's great.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00What's it worth? Worldwide market?
0:31:00 > 0:31:06- I have put an auction estimate of £50-£70 on it.- They paid £65.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09I feel it has legs. So, that's the Reds.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12We now go over to the Blues' first item.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16It's what maybe you might call a little outdated.
0:31:16 > 0:31:20Well, potentially outdated, Charlie, but it's got this wonderful
0:31:20 > 0:31:23ascetic carving to it, which is really rather beautiful.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25But I think it's had some work done at some time because
0:31:25 > 0:31:29obviously this bezel around here has been repainted at some stage.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32It might be slightly yesterday's antique. Who knows?
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Christina, what's it worth? - Well, we have put £40-£60 on it.- OK.
0:31:36 > 0:31:42- They paid the princely sum of £45. - Oh, that's a good price.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45But moving on to the second item, this delightful carriage clock.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46What do you think of it?
0:31:46 > 0:31:49It is a lovely thing, you are absolutely right.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52The piece de resistance is it has this wonderful case,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54which really does add to the value of it.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I mean, we see so often the examples
0:31:56 > 0:31:58that don't have their case with them.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02It's a nice, standard example of its type.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04What's it worth in the current market?
0:32:04 > 0:32:08- Well, we've put £60-£100 on it. - Sam was quite hefty.
0:32:08 > 0:32:14She dug deep with Ed and they paid £170. It's strong.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- Ouch.- Could we hit 170?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I would love to think so
0:32:18 > 0:32:21but would £170 be a record price for one of these?
0:32:21 > 0:32:23It would be doing very, very well.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25It would be really approaching that retail price.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Well, we might want to be fluffy, Christina.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30We might want to powder our profits.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35And come to this, what I think is a neat, cut-glass powder puff jar.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I think it's gorgeous.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I mean, it's in the style of a Victorian example
0:32:40 > 0:32:43but it is very much not a Victorian example.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's still got its little powder puff inside.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47I do think it's absolutely gorgeous. I really do.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49The only thing that would let it down slightly
0:32:49 > 0:32:51is it's not an antique one.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54It's not a Victorian one, which is what people will be looking for.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- What's it worth? - Well, I've put £40-£60 on it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02So they might claw a bit back on the clock because they only paid £35.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Oh, good buy!
0:33:03 > 0:33:06But I have a feeling there will be a call for Caroline
0:33:06 > 0:33:08because I can foresee they'll be struggling.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Will the bonus buy be that magical formula?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Let's find out what Caroline bought.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- You ready?- Yes.- Very nice.- Nice.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- But what is it? - Ah! What do you think they are?
0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Well, something ornamental.- No, something you use in the kitchen.
0:33:26 > 0:33:32- You're getting warmer.- Salt and pepper.- They are salt pots. Yes.- Ah!
0:33:32 > 0:33:39- OK.- The original spoons. They are solid silver, Birmingham, 1891.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43In the original case, lined in silk and silk velvet.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Retailed in Calcutta. Absolutely beautiful.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50So, what sort of price do you think I paid for them?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- £40?- £30.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56And I think that that's a really, really good price.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58How much do think it will make at auction?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01I think they could make 40-45.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05But, as ever, it all depends on if our auctioneer feels
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Caroline's salts will be a bittersweet success.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15So, Christina. Some salts. Caroline's find. What do you think?
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Well, Caroline is a classy lady
0:34:18 > 0:34:20and she has obviously bought a classy bonus buy.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22You've got these little salts in their original box
0:34:22 > 0:34:26in great condition with the original spoons, and the icing on
0:34:26 > 0:34:30the cake for me is this wonderful retailer stamp on the box here.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31Jewellers in Calcutta.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It's got that wonderful Empire feel about it, hasn't it?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36What are they worth in your sale, Christina?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Well, I put them at £30-£50.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42- I'm pleased to say Caroline paid only £30.- Brilliant.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Hopefully, they might just take the bonus buy
0:34:45 > 0:34:49and we can begin to claw back.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53Now, talking of clawing back, you will be on very shortly.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Are you, Christina Trevanion, the lady with that gavel today?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- I will be wielding it. - That's what we're hoping for.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Jenny, Andrew, JP. This is it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10My voice is quite quiet because we're really in it, aren't we?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14We're really on that auction battlefield. Excited?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- Tense but quite excited, I think. - Andrew?- Really excited about this.
0:35:18 > 0:35:19The first lot is coming up now.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23The K's Precision Model Engineers' LNWR coal tank.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Straight away, £10 with me. On commission at £10.
0:35:27 > 0:35:31At £10 with my commission bid at £10. I'll take 12 if it helps.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3512 I have. There's my commission bid at £12. With you at 12.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Looking for £15 now. It's at £12 with the lady.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42If you are all done, then, selling to the lady at £12.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46That's OK, that's OK. You are plus two.
0:35:46 > 0:35:50It is one smaller auction leap for Bargain Hunt mankind. Here we go.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Next one, this is the meerkat.
0:35:52 > 0:35:57- Bid me £20 for it.- Come on. - 15 then.- Uh-oh!
0:35:57 > 0:36:02- £15 for our meerkat.- Oh, dear. - Oh, I've got £15 online.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- Fantastic.- 18 with you, madam. Thank you very much at £18.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08I've got 18 in the room now. It's against you.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14I'll take 20 and 20 is back. At £20. Will you go two? 22.
0:36:14 > 0:36:20I'll take five now. At £22 with the lady if you're all done.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Oh, I say!
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I mean, on paper it was a guarantee. It's lost £5.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Doesn't matter.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28You are now minus three but hold tight,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31the teddy bears might save the day.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Pair of teddy bears, circa 1940s. We have a phone bid on this.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Bid me £10 for them. £10 for the pair of teddies.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Can't be bad at £10. Where is 10? £10 is bid online.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46Straight away at £10. 15 is bid online as well. £15, where's 18?
0:36:46 > 0:36:5118 is bid on the telephone at £18. I'll take 20. £20. Internet is back.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Good, we're in profit now, we're in profit.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- 25 is bid on the phone, at £25. Where's 30?- Fantastic.- Excellent.
0:36:57 > 0:36:5830 is bid. Go five?
0:36:58 > 0:37:04- Yes, please.- I don't believe it. You are flying high.- 40 is bid.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- Oh, my goodness me.- Go five?- Yes, please.- At £45 on the telephone.
0:37:08 > 0:37:13Looking for 50 now. At £45 on the telephone. 50 is bid.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18- Oh, my goodness me, team.- Yes. 55 is bid on the telephone. At £55.
0:37:18 > 0:37:25- We did have faith in the bears. - £55, if we're all done at £55.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I can't believe it. That's amazing.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32That's giving you a huge teddy bear profit of £45, which,
0:37:32 > 0:37:37take off your three pounds less, you've made a wonderful sum of £37.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Congratulations.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42JP, £37 is no mean profit
0:37:42 > 0:37:46but will you or won't you add to it with that Burmese bowl?
0:37:46 > 0:37:48That's the decision, guys.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51I don't think we're going to risk it, just because we thought
0:37:51 > 0:37:54if we made a profit, we'd stick, and I think we've done pretty well.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- I don't think we should. - We're not going to go with it.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Not going to go with it. That's a definite decision.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00You're holding firm. It's coming up now.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02The Burmese silver bowl
0:38:02 > 0:38:04and I've got a commission bid here starting at £40.
0:38:04 > 0:38:09We got a commission at 40. 45 online. 50 here. At £50.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Still with me on commission. 55. Clears my book at £55.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Looking for 60 now. 60 right at the back with you, sir. JP, well done.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22That's five. Looking for 65. At £60. With you right at the back.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27I'm convinced. No. You're right. You were right. You didn't go with it.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29It lost five pounds. Right decision.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33You ring-fenced a really good profit of £37 and on Bargain Hunt
