0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today's show comes from the Park Hall Showground in Oswestry,
0:00:05 > 0:00:07famous for its pig racing.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Bargain Hunt, as we all know, is all about the race for profits,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14but there can only be one winner,
0:00:14 > 0:00:16So today will it be the Red or the Blue team?
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Perhaps the pigs can predict the outcome!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23PIGS SQUEAL AND SNORT
0:00:27 > 0:00:31MUSIC: Two Tribes by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
0:00:38 > 0:00:39Well, there we have it!
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Will our Red team do as well today?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45- Let's find out! Let's go Bargain Hunting!- Yay!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Today we are at the border where England's meets Wales
0:01:17 > 0:01:19and where the Reds meet the Blues.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The teams have just one hour to find three items that they
0:01:22 > 0:01:24hope will make a profit when sold at auction.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, with hundreds of stalls to choose from,
0:01:28 > 0:01:31who will bring home the bacon and who will make a pig's ear of it?
0:01:31 > 0:01:35Let's take a sneak peek at what's coming up -
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Jonathan Pratt shows off his expertise...
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Aerogram compressor.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42I'd say it's for compressing your aerograms!
0:01:42 > 0:01:45..the Blues forget the aim of the game...
0:01:45 > 0:01:47I'm just looking for myself!
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I'm walking around going, "What would look nice in my living room?"
0:01:51 > 0:01:53..and at the auction, there are highs...
0:01:55 > 0:01:59- ..and lows.- Come on! - That was your pick!
0:01:59 > 0:02:02But first, let's meet our teams.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08On today's show, we have, in the Red team, brothers John and Tony,
0:02:08 > 0:02:10and a lovely couple, Kerry and Tag.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Welcome to you all. Hello!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15- ALL:- Hello!- Now, John, let's start with you.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16You're a bit of a web designer these days,
0:02:16 > 0:02:18but in the past you had a sort of TV-related,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20rather glamorous role, did you not?
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I wouldn't say glamorous... I was Ricky Tomlinson's PA.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- Ooh!- Ricky Tomlinson, better known as Jim Royle, the couch potato.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32So got introduced to him through my brother, who is an entertainer.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36But I also, as you know, do web design, so I did Ricky's website, originally.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Gosh!- And basically just wangled my way into getting a job with him,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- really.- Fantastic.- It took off from there, but it's really good, yeah.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So you met through Tony, Ricky Tomlinson.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Tony, that's because you don't like being behind the camera,
0:02:48 > 0:02:49you like being in front of it.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Well, entertainment has always been my life, really, Natasha.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- 40 years I've been singing. - You're also a magician.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Tell us about that.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Well, Natasha, I've been involved in the Magic Circle,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04the Liverpool Magic Circle, for over 25 years now, probably.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Love going out doing restaurant magic, performing,
0:03:08 > 0:03:11seeing people's faces when you reveal a card's somewhere else.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15They're just amazed and it's just a great little hobby to have, you know.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Fantastic! Now, you're slightly older in our brotherhood today.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I am. Only slightly!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Only slightly. Yes, let's point that out.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Does that mean you're going to be taking charge of John?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, not really, no. He's the risk-taker,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30so I'll probably let him take charge today.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I think you'll find today a breeze. Let's meet our Blue team today.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34So we've got Kerry and Tag
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Kerry, tell me, was this blue hair carefully co-ordinated today?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- It was a happy coincidence. - A happy coincidence.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Fantastic. So tell us what you do for a living. Cos it's not the norm, is it?
0:03:44 > 0:03:48No, I'm a tattoo artist and I've been doing it for about eight years now.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53So it's just the best job. I just get paid to draw on people.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55It's amazing. It's one of those.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57So were you always into art and design?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Did you expect to become a tattoo artist?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It was that or a barrister.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I know that's completely opposite, but...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Very similar roles! My goodness! So...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09It's not just tattoo that you do.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12We couldn't get further from a barrister now because tell us what else you do.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I'm in a performance group called Monster Cirque,
0:04:15 > 0:04:20and we do all kinds of fire performing - fire breathing, fire fans,
0:04:20 > 0:04:24freak show stuff. So, bed of nails, whip-cracking, all that.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Of course, it's all about antiques today.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Is there anything particular that you collect?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Anything that you're particularly into?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I've got a lot of antique furniture.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We sort of have our own living rooms...
0:04:37 > 0:04:39As you do. As you do, of course.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Mine's just full of kind of antique furniture.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I've got, like, gramophones,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47a lot of Art Deco pieces.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Yeah...- So you know what you are looking for?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- A little bit, yeah. - You know what you like.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Anything shiny and pretty, we're all good.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Fantastic. Well, Tag, tell us how you met Kerry.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Was it your love of tattoos that brought you together?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Pretty much, yeah. I used to work in a studio up north,
0:05:02 > 0:05:06and the gentleman I worked with worked guesting...with Kerry,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10and we just got pals for a couple of years also and then it blossomed into
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- something more, didn't it?- Yeah. - I had nowt to do, so I moved down!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It was one of them.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Well, Kerry tells us you've got his and hers living rooms.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22Yeah...if it's got a plug on it, it doesn't belong in her living room. It goes in mine.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24So what's in yours, then?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Have you got anything antique-style in yours?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29A couple of old Zippos and that's about it, isn't it?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31A couple of old Zippo lighters and stuff, but, no...
0:05:31 > 0:05:36Well, it sounds like Kerry is certainly well versed in antique shopping.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39How do you reckon you'll get along to day in the shopping? A bit of a breeze?
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I think I'm probably going to be the magpie of the two,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- so I'll find the pretty things that I want and then...- Puts me on haggling duty.- Yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Right, let's get down to business because those stalls are setting up and they look good.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54So, £300 each. Off you go into the safe hands of your experts. Good luck!
0:05:54 > 0:05:59All this talk of tattoos, we'll soon find out if they ink or swim.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Ooh!
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Whose expertise will our teams be drawing on today?
0:06:07 > 0:06:09On call for the Reds, it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14And digging deep for the Blues, it's John Cameron.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, guys, what are we going to be looking for today?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I think something beautiful.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Just something that is shiny and looks expensive.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Old musical instruments if we can find any.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I'm just going to wing it, see what's there, see if we can get some bargains.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36Silver, glass. I love gadgets, so if I can find an antique gadget, that would be good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Right, teams, it's time to face the music.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Your 60 minutes start now!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43SHE STRUMS A DISCORDANT NOTE
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Shall we stay outside?- Yeah.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- It's a nice day, isn't it? - Come on, then, let's go shopping.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52They're off and straightaway the boys are putting Kerry in charge.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55You're the magpie, petal, have a look.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Girls are usually good at spotting things.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00When I walk into a shop it all becomes a big blur,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I can't see the wood for the trees, even with my spectacles on,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05so we'll be relying on your sharp eye.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09No pressure, Kerry! Tony knows exactly what he wants.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I'd love to find an old ukulele.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I've got a uke at home. I'm not very good at it.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Am I the only one that likes this blue torso here?- Yeah.- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Definitely!- All right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25It reminds me of myself.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27Maybe wishful thinking, John.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- That's got a bit of a... - There we are!
0:07:30 > 0:07:36- Yeah, it has. Very unusual. - Yeah, it's...
0:07:36 > 0:07:42It's something like you see... It's different. In bars, they decorate the bars or music lounges.
0:07:42 > 0:07:48A bit of Max Bygraves memorabilia there. You need hands!
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- # You need hands... #- A bit before my time, Tony! Moving on...
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Looks like Tag's has gone back in time too and has spotted a vintage
0:07:56 > 0:08:00- contraption for restoring hair. - A vintage hair restoring machine!
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Does it work? Because I could use it, actually!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06I think it's cool!
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It's different. Not that you need it, you've got plenty of hair.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14- Yeah, this is true.- I think that's a "no" to the hair restorer,
0:08:14 > 0:08:18but ten minutes have already gone, teams. Is nothing taking your fancy?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- There's an old xylophone.- Oh, yeah.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- It's a child's one, I think. - Yeah, it's not very good.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It's not the best...
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Meanwhile, the Blues are finding ever more unusual items.
0:08:33 > 0:08:38- What are you thinking? It's Margaret Thatcher in fishnet tights and a miniskirt.- It's different!
0:08:38 > 0:08:42It's very different. I'm not sure.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47- It looks like £45 on there.- I wouldn't...- If it was 20 quid, I'd say yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- No...- Let's keep looking. - A tenner, maybe...
0:08:52 > 0:08:55With time ticking, JP is getting worried.
0:08:55 > 0:08:5815 minutes has already gone, so we've got three quarters of an hour.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It is going quickly.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04I'd say unless something really grabs your eye...
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- OK.- Because I'm reckoning with half an hour to go we've got to be inside
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- if you haven't seen anything.- OK. - Sounds like a plan, JP.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Come on, boys, there must be something here you like.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17And John is also feeling the pressure.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20So what do you think of this, chaps?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- I like it.- Do you know what it is?
0:09:22 > 0:09:26- Go on.- It's a barograph. An anaeroid barograph.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- It's for measuring changes in atmospheric pressure.- Right.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31And anaeroid, as a rough translation means "without liquid",
0:09:31 > 0:09:35so you get mercury barometers, this is without liquid.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- You get water barometers.- Yeah, yeah.- So it measures changes in atmospheric pressure
0:09:39 > 0:09:43and it records them on this clockwork barrel here with a graph.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47So from those changes it helps to predict the weather.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50They sell at auction...the plain glaze ones for round about £100.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51That's 140.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- It is unusual.- £140 - that's a big decision, team.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58What do you think, Kerry?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01I'm happy to go with it. It looks a little bit unusual.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It may be wouldn't have been my first choice but actually, to be fair,
0:10:04 > 0:10:06I'm kind of really coming round to the idea.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10Yeah? If we can see how much the nice gentleman will give it for.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- MAN: It's 110. - Hmm...- What do you think?
0:10:14 > 0:10:1890.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- MAN: 100. - Go 95 and we're done, then.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Good man.- Thank you. - You're a gem, thank you, sir.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Well done, Blues. With 20 minutes on the clock, that's your first item bought.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35The Reds, meanwhile, are still doing laps of the fair but aren't committing to anything.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- What is that?- It says...
0:10:38 > 0:10:40"Aerogram compressor."
0:10:40 > 0:10:43- I'd say you use it for compressing your aerograms, wouldn't you? - LAUGHTER
0:10:43 > 0:10:46I think you'll find it's actually for spray-painting, team.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- Look nice in the kitchen!- Beats me.- Next to the food processor...
0:10:50 > 0:10:55I don't think so, JP. Now, half your time has gone. You need to get a gallop on.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Fairground items are quite popular at the moment,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02they're just being used as decoration, hanging on walls and things like that.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Yes.- I've sold one or two carousel horses myself recently.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- How much is the pony? £25 is a pony, isn't it? - LAUGHTER
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- MAN: You can have 160 on it. - Oh...- Mm...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Thanks anyway, though. We'll keep it in mind, yeah.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17That's a "neigh" to the horse. But keep going, team.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21Now, if that belonged to Laurel and Hardy would be laughing, wouldn't we?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23It would, yeah. I'm afraid not, though.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Prosthetics. Oops.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29- Oh, yeah. He's legless again.- Yeah.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Oh, Tony. This is no laughing matter. You still have three items to buy.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39I think we'll leave you browsing while I show you something that hits the target.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Here at Bargain Hunt we like to aim high.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Now, take a look at this. This is an interesting find.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55It's a beautiful silver trophy vase.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I think we'll call it a trophy vase because I think trophy cup gives off
0:11:58 > 0:12:01that connotation of those two handles.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02So, a small trophy vase it is.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07Now, it's from 1909, so we are in the Edwardian period here.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12So, real gentleman stuff because this is an award from the National Rifle Association.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Now, here we have, as inscribed on the front,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Captain HM Leslie.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Now, he has been inscribed onto this lovely Elkington & Co trophy vase.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27Now, Elkington & Co would not have made this vase for the National Rifle Association.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30They've just produced a lovely shaped vase, which then in turn has been
0:12:30 > 0:12:35embossed with the National Rifle Association motto and crest.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40Now, that motto is a very stirring Latin one - sit perpetuum.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43"May it last forever." Also inscribed on the front,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47we have the location of this competition and that, believe me,
0:12:47 > 0:12:49is pertinent. Because, as many of you will know,
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the location is Bisley, in Surrey,
0:12:52 > 0:12:57and that's exactly where these competitions have always taken place.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Now, I did say we like to aim high.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01But Captain Leslie, how high was his aim?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I'm not so sure.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Because he came in at a whopping 14th place.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09But, listen, silver trophy for 14th place?
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Can you imagine what the first place trophy looks like?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15It must've been spectacular.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17So what would a little trophy vase like this,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20steeped in tradition as it is, be worth today?
0:13:20 > 0:13:25Well, if I were to put this into auction, I would say £80-120,
0:13:25 > 0:13:30which isn't far off the likely fair price which would be maybe £150-200.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34But what would really hit the target would be an inscription for first place.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38And believe me, as I know our teams are thinking, as we speak,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41there's always a certain cachet in coming out in front.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Back with our teams,
0:13:53 > 0:13:57and with over half an hour gone, the Blues are out in front with one buy under their belts.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00The Red team are struggling to find anything they like.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04You wanted something musical, boys? Is that amplifier singing to you?
0:14:05 > 0:14:09It's 1972.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Ah, right. So it's not got the original blue speakers in it?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Yes, it has.- It has?
0:14:16 > 0:14:19No, it's not got the original blue speakers.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21No, not the blue ones. Though they are original Vox.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27- Yeah, original Vox, but not the blue speakers which is the '60s model, yeah?- Yeah. Yeah, this is 72s, yeah.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- What sort of price?- 350?- Ah, right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- OK.- Which is...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35It's a bit out of our price bracket, unfortunately.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36It is, yes, yeah.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41You finally find something you like and it's out of your price range.
0:14:41 > 0:14:42How are the Blues doing?
0:14:42 > 0:14:47- Oh, yeah, I quite like this.- But is it YOU like this, or do you think that if you put that into auction,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48other people will like it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52- I think- I- like it.- That's what we've got to think. You just think it's that YOU like it.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I like this. Do you think other people would like this?
0:14:54 > 0:14:56It's nice. It's kind...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Because of the colours, I think it would have to almost definitely go in a child's room.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- Wouldn't make a good coffee table because it's got the domed top.- Yep. Cool. Shall we wander?
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- We're learning.- It would be better if you were BUYING, though.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10And don't forget, you're not buying for yourself.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12They've been shopping for so long,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15it seems that the Red team's minds have turned to drink.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18And they've spotted a decanter.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20WOMAN: It's got a chute, see, engraved on it?
0:15:20 > 0:15:23I see. Has it got a bit of age to it, or...?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26No, it's quite modern. But it's unusual.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30- The stopper is unusual, isn't it? - Very unusual.- Jonathan, what do you think?
0:15:31 > 0:15:32It's certainly unusual.
0:15:32 > 0:15:37That's for sure. I'm trying to work out what it's meant to resemble.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- What does it say underneath?- It's...
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- It's quite a modern sticker... - It says it's handmade.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46"Two country images."
0:15:46 > 0:15:47Now, does handmade mean...
0:15:47 > 0:15:51- It doesn't mean that it's blown glass, does it? Handmade.- Er...
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Do you know what? It's had some hand work done on it.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- OK.- But it's probably blown into a mould...
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- Yeah.- And then the engraving is done by hand.- Do you think it's an original stopper to that?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- Oh, yes.- I just... The whole thing.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I'm just wondering if there is some symbolism to this shape.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- I'm not... I don't see it, so.- No. A walking stick, maybe?
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Could be.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- £20 your best bet. - Is that your best?- 18.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- 18.- You'll...
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- You'll make money on that. - Quite honestly, I'd say...
0:16:17 > 0:16:19And I know you can see the label, there.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21If it were a tenner, then there is a guar...
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- Then there's a fiver's profit in it. That's how I'd see it.- Go on, then.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- £10?- £10.- Oh, thank you. - OK, then?- Yeah. £10. We love you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Wow, that was some hard bargaining.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33And you've FINALLY made your first purchase.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35But you've still got two more to go.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Oh, blimey, guys. We have got 22 minutes left.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Wow.- Wow. 22?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- 22 minutes left.- My God.- That's nothing.- Time goes over, doesn't it?
0:16:45 > 0:16:49It does indeed. You'll have to be a bit quicker on those last two purchases.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Back with the Blues,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55who've stumbled upon those artificial legs the Red team spotted earlier.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57How much are the...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- How much are the legs? - MAN: They are between the wars.
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- They're a matched pair, so they're very rare. They're 550.- God. That's done us.- Yep.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- Sorry.- No, no, no. Don't apologise. They're very nice.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10But that counts as out.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- 225 each, guys. No good.- You've got to look for cheaper items, Kerry.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17You keep finding these things that are really expensive.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Remember the aim of the game, Kerry.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I am just looking for myself.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I'm walking around going, "What would look nice in my living room?"
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Oh, Kerry...
0:17:30 > 0:17:33The Reds have nearly all their money left,
0:17:33 > 0:17:35and have decided to try their luck inside.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37What about that one?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- It's quite damaged, yeah. - Oh, is it?- Yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43You can see that the neck's warped on it and everything.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- Oh, that's a shame. - Do you play the banjo? - I dabble a little bit, Jonathan.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Well, there is no time for dabbling. There is only 15 minutes left, teams.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You need to motor on.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- Do you know anything about Tri-ang? - Not at all.- Not really.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58It's a very famous toy-making firm.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Very good firm. This is... I've never seen this before.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Circus van. I'm guessing there probably were animals to go with
0:18:04 > 0:18:07that at some point, but they look as though they are no longer around.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- I quite like it. Do you like it? - I love it.- Yeah?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Yes. I love all my circus things, so it's just really stood out.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17It appeals to you. Excuse me, sir. What's the very best price - one-time offer -
0:18:17 > 0:18:19what can you do this for?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21It owes me 50. I'd be happy to get my money back.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- 50?- Yup.- It's a deal.- Yes. - We're going to do a deal?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Shake the man's hand.- Thank you. Thank you so much.
0:18:26 > 0:18:2850 minutes in and that's your second item, Blues.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31Well done. Now, before we conclude the business,
0:18:31 > 0:18:34anything else you see here before we go? We've got 10 minutes left here.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36I love these.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40- Both with the lampshades and... - What have we got?
0:18:40 > 0:18:42A trunk. I think that's so pretty.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Well, seems the Blues are already on the case for their third buy.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50The Reds, meanwhile, are sitting on the fence with this knife rest.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- MAN: There is silver plating there. - Yeah.- And really unusual and interesting, lovely little things.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Do you think they're worth £98, Jonathan?- They are a novelty.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01A novelty, you know, it's hard to put a proper price on them.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- £98 is quite a lot of money, but nonetheless...- They're silver-plated, yeah.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08..it's under £100 and we hopefully might be able to negotiate something.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- It's an idea at least, anyway.- OK. - I mean, they could be £70.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- OK.- I still think that's probably all our money, you know.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Eight minutes. Two items to buy.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Right. Two items. We're going to have to rush. Right. Come on.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22NATASHA: Come on, indeed. You need to get a move on, Reds.
0:19:22 > 0:19:27The Blues haven't moved an inch but they're already talking money for that suitcase.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31MAN: I'll do the case for 80, and I'll throw in the shades.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34- Can't say fairer than that.- Yeah. - Shake the man's hand again.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Thank you very much.- Thank you VERY much.- Thank you.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40NATASHA: A suitcase with a couple of lampshades thrown in.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Well done, Blues. You're all bought up.
0:19:42 > 0:19:48But the Reds still have two more items to buy and they are still looking at knife rests.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Well, that's £48.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Yep.- OK, it's just the one, but it's kind of an ornament, isn't it?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Yeah.- Yeah.- Two men playing a tug-of-war. Again, late 19th century.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The nice thing about that, the diamond mark on the bottom,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02- it's that registered mark you can look up.- OK.- It tells you it's silver-plated.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05They can tell you when the pattern was registered.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11- Yeah, yeah.- So that's as good as a hallmark in identifying the design date...- Right.- ..for that object.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- 25?- MAN: 35.
0:20:13 > 0:20:1530?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- Yeah, go on...- 30 quid? Novelty?
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- It's a novelty item, isn't it?- Yeah. - Yeah.- It's got the mark on.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25- Shake the man's hand, quickly! - Good man.- Thank you very much.- OK.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Thank you. - OK. That's the second one done.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Yeah.- All right? But we have only got about six minutes left,
0:20:30 > 0:20:35- six minutes to get the other item and to find it as well. - Let's move on.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36NATASHA: Well, hallelujah!
0:20:36 > 0:20:39You're having to work hard today, JP.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44OK. Right. Three minutes left.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Yeah.- Something else. See that blotter there?
0:20:46 > 0:20:50- Oh, yeah.- Prince of Wales's feathers, Victorian, it's for writing,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52and when you've written with your fountain pen,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55you put the paper in there and you shut it and it absorbs any
0:20:55 > 0:20:57of the thick ink that takes a long time to dry,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59so it doesn't smudge.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01I just quite like the fact that there is a lot of work.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Carved, it's a lot of work, yeah. - The price on that is 50,
0:21:04 > 0:21:06and we can have that for...?
0:21:06 > 0:21:0735 is the lowest we can go.
0:21:07 > 0:21:0935? And that is the lowest?
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I can't do any lower, I've got no scope below that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15We've got about a minute left. And that, to me, is as good as anything.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Let's go with that. - Yeah, we're happy with that.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- £30?- Hey!
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- 35?- 35. - THEY LAUGH
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- OK, we'll go with that. - Thank you.- Thanks very much.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Good luck.- Thank you. - Cheers, thank you very much.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28WHISTLE BLOWS
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Your 60 minutes are up.
0:21:29 > 0:21:3228 seconds left. That's really cutting it fine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- That's the closest. - That's pretty damn close, that is.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- Well done, chaps, well done. Thank you.- Thank you, Jonathan.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team's bought.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It took them a while to get off the starting blocks,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48but their first item was this glass decanter, bought for just £10.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Next up, JP convinced the boys
0:21:50 > 0:21:54to invest £30 in the silver-plated knife rest.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55And with just seconds to go,
0:21:55 > 0:22:00they did a deal on this Victorian oak blotter pad, price paid, £35.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I'm exhausted just thinking about your shop!
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Guys, what happened?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Well, I mean, near the end, we were sweating cobs.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Panic.- You know, we had the fleeces on, we were panic-buying...
0:22:13 > 0:22:15What was your favourite item, Don?
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I like the knife rest. It's a little tug-of-war knife rest.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Do you think that's going to bring the biggest profit at auction?
0:22:20 > 0:22:21No, I think the blotter book.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24What about yourself, Tony, favourite item?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27The blotter book. It's a nice little item, the carving's lovely on it.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29I think it'll appeal to a lot of people, as well.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31So do you agree that'll bring the biggest profit in?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Well, definitely, yeah. Because the other items we got were, you know...
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Some panic-buying!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39You didn't spend a lot of money. What was the grand total?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- £75.- £75.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44So that leaves £225!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Poor Jonathan! If I could please take that from you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Oh...- Oh, it's heavy!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- It is!- OK, straight over to you, JP.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54What on earth are you going to do with it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Um, well, it's been such an experience.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02I'm going to buy something to remind me, or us, of this wonderful,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- wonderful day.- Oh, God.- OK.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Well, an experience indeed and it's smiles all round.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Let's find out what the Blue team bought.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11First up was this copper-cased barograph,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14which they secured for £95.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Our showgirl couldn't resist this Tri-ang circus van,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21and they did a deal at £50.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26And without moving an inch, they found this Airstream suitcase,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28and the dealer threw in some lampshades.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Price paid, £80.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Kerry and Tag, you had pretty expensive taste.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- What was going on there?- I was just buying things that I really liked
0:23:38 > 0:23:41or things that would look really nice in my living room.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45So I kept spotting things, like, 300, 400, 500 quid.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Like, "OK, not in budget! Let's get it down a little!"
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Tell me, what was your favourite item purchased today?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I really like the Airstream trunk.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Mm.- I think that is so cool, with the lampshades to match.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00- Yeah, I just love it.- Really trendy! - Yeah. I like it a lot.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03And do you reckon that's going to bring the biggest profits?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07I'd like to think so, cos I picked it! So maybe, fingers crossed.
0:24:07 > 0:24:08Tag, what about you?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11I reckon the little circus van. I think it's brilliant.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- Boys and their toys stuff?- Yeah, I think that'll make the most profit.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15We got the most knocked off it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- So your favourite and your best profit, you reckon?- I reckon, yeah.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Fantastic. Now, you spent quite a decent amount today, did you not?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- What was the grand total, in the end?- Yeah.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- 225?- Yeah, 225. - 225? Not too shabby.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I'll tell you what, you had 300 quid to spend, so why not?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32That leaves 75. I'll take that from you, Kerry.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Is that devastating, handing that over?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- I know.- Yeah! I'll give it straight over to John,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- and what are you thinking?- I think I'm going to buy something cheap.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Cheap? Sorry, Kerry.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, while John goes off to find something cheap and cheerful,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48we'll head over straight to the auction.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Well, we were in Oswestry,
0:25:02 > 0:25:05and now we're in Whitchurch, in Shropshire, and we find ourselves at
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Trevanion & Dean with Christina Trevanion.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Christina, thank you for having us along.- Oh, an absolute joy.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12And we'll start off with John and Tony.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16The first thing they bought was this Country Images decanter.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Tell me what you think about that.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21Yeah, to be perfectly honest, it's got a sticker on the bottom,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23so it's really not particularly old.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27But that little scene on the front of that chappy shooting with his dog
0:25:27 > 0:25:29there, is a lovely, charming scene, isn't it?
0:25:29 > 0:25:33And, to be honest, we do have a lot of farming folk around,
0:25:33 > 0:25:37people that have country pursuits and who do country pursuits,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39so it's the perfect place to be selling it, really.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42As a nice, modern decanter, we've put £10-£20 on it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Not too shabby. The boys only paid £10.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46- Oh, perfect. Yeah.- So they've done all right there.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49It's got to make that. Now, if you're looking for novelty,
0:25:49 > 0:25:52you're looking for quirky fun, this has got to be your lot.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Does it not?- I sold this about three months ago!
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- This exact one?- So it's like a boomerang coming back to me.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I can't remember what we sold it for, but the reason I remember it,
0:26:01 > 0:26:03is because it's broken.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Basically, somebody's put a safety pin around the middle,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07because the rope has broken.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Obviously, the knife has worn through the rope through time
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and, yeah... I sold it. I've already sold it once!
0:26:14 > 0:26:17That's bonkers. I wonder how many times that happens.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19OK, so you don't remember what you sold it for,
0:26:19 > 0:26:22but what do you reckon it's worth this time on its own,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23not part of a job lot?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25We've put £15-£20 on it on its own.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28To be perfectly honest, I think that might be slightly punchy,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31because it is quite fundamentally damaged, sadly.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34OK, well, a wee bit worrying if you find that punchy,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37because the gents paid £30 for it in the first instance.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40OK, let's move on to the last lot, which, by the by,
0:26:40 > 0:26:44the boys both think will bring the most profit.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's this lovely oak blotter pad
0:26:46 > 0:26:48with the Prince of Wales's feathers on it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50So tell us what you think about it, Christina.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53I think this is absolutely gorgeous, I really do.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55This pierced fretwork around here,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59this wonderful Prince of Wales's feathers with the little crest,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01this may have been a family crest.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- It's gorgeous. - It just oozes sumptuous quality.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Yeah, love it. - OK, so what have you put on it?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08- £30-£50.- £30-£50?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Well, the gentlemen paid 35!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Oh, OK, yeah.- I think they've done all right here.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Yeah, I think they have. I think they've got a very good eye.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18OK. Well, a good eye, says the auctioneer,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20but let's go and find out if they've got a good bonus buy.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25JP, you look nervous. Should you be? Tell us what you've got.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well, I'm buying something for a couple
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- of very sort of, you know, MEN! You know, like this?- Yeah.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34And what have I gone and bought?
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- A piece of jewellery. - NATASHA LAUGHS
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Oh, right.- Just what I've always wanted!- Exactly.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42But what it is, our shopping experience was so memorable...
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- It was, you're right.- This is a token, this is a forget-me-not.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Ah!- Oh, OK. - It's a forget-me-not stick pin.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53It's in gold, and you've got this lovely turquoise enamel,
0:27:53 > 0:27:57centred by a little faceted diamond, a little thing.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59And if you looked at it and thought,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01"What's the gold worth? What's the diamond worth?"
0:28:01 > 0:28:04it doesn't add up to what I paid for it, because it never does
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- at this sort of size of object. - Right.- It's very, very nicely made.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11It's a high-grade gold, it's late 19th-century.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- It could be Russian.- Right.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I couldn't find a mark anywhere on it, but I just think it's a really,
0:28:18 > 0:28:19really sweet thing.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- How much?- How much do you reckon I paid for it?- 60?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- £40.- Oh, wow.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- That's OK.- Do you think it'll make a profit?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Um, it's a difficult thing. You know, £40 isn't a lot of money.- No.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Is it going to make 80, is it going to make 60?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36I'd be very surprised if it made less than £40.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38- Yeah.- Cos I think it's a really pretty, good quality,
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- nice antique piece.- Right. - So, yes.- OK.- OK.- You heard it here.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- You heard him, yeah. - I think it's caught your eye,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48but let's see how you get on before you make up your minds,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50and importantly, let's see if the auctioneer
0:28:50 > 0:28:53thinks that the boys should pin their hopes on JP's
0:28:53 > 0:28:55little bonus buy.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Check this out. What do you make of JP's bonus buy?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I think it's just absolutely gorgeous,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04to be perfectly honest, Natasha.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07The Victorians were so full of their symbolic meaning,
0:29:07 > 0:29:08their hidden meaning.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11It's a forget-me-not in a little forget-me-not flower.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14It's full of that loaded sort of wonderful romanticism.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17It's got diamonds in it, diamonds are for ever,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19forget-me-not forever... It's just exquisite.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23I'm completely a sentimental old fool, I love it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25And I'm sure the buyers will love it, it's a lovely thing.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I've put £40-£60 on it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29I would hope it would get the top end of that.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Well, that's brilliant because JP only paid £40 for it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Oh, brilliant.- So, in a retail environment, as we would say,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- he's done extremely well. - He's done extremely well. Yeah.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40OK, well, it's got a little bit of blue on this brooch and that's
0:29:40 > 0:29:43pertinent, cos we're now moving over to the Blue side of the table.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Yeah.- And we're starting off with copper and brass.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49It's a barograph. And what do you think of this instrument?
0:29:49 > 0:29:52It's unusual because it's got this lovely copper and brass case.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54It's a good-looking thing.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56And I love the fact that it's got this copper case.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59That sets it apart from the others.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01So often you see them with oak or mahogany cases, so, yeah,
0:30:01 > 0:30:04it's a bit quirky. It's nice to see something a bit different.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Well, we have put £50-£80 on it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09OK, well, hopefully, you can work your magic, because the couple,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Kerry and Tag, paid 95 for it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Oh, did they?- Yeah. So, top end, I'd say, for what it is,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17but you never know, do you?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Yeah, exactly, and you're absolutely right in that hopefully,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22we'll get a bit of a bidding war going on
0:30:22 > 0:30:24and boys will pay over and above.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27You never know. I mean, let's hope so, let's keep it all crossed.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Yes, well, talking of boys and their toys,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32did you notice that you're sitting behind, I'm sure you did,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35a very large Tri-ang circus van?
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- And it's such good fun.- I love it.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I mean, the rust comes for free, we know that, but it is cool.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Yeah.- Because this has a good market, doesn't it, toys?
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Yeah. They certainly do.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47I mean, I believe, having done some research on them,
0:30:47 > 0:30:50that they actually came with the animals.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Ah, kind of like a Noah's Ark, but the Tri-ang circus version?
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yeah, the circus version, exactly.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56I believe they came with animals, and you do still find them.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59You do still find them in absolutely mint condition,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02and this is the key with toys, is that, unfortunately, people,
0:31:02 > 0:31:05as you well know, like them un-playworn,
0:31:05 > 0:31:07and this one has been, as you would expect...
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- I mean, it's been loved, it's been played with...- It's meant to be.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Yeah, to me, it's a joy that it has been played with,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15because it's fulfilled its destiny, if you like.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Exactly.- But at the same time, collectors don't like that so much.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20And what kind of estimate have you placed upon it?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I've put, bearing in mind its condition, £30-£50 on it.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27OK. Well, again, a sprinkle of magic might be necessary
0:31:27 > 0:31:28because £50 was paid.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- OK.- OK, Christina, what do you make of the modern?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33Because here we've got some genuine Airstream products.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Aren't they fun?- Yeah. I mean, they're funky, aren't they?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37I love the case.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- Mm-hm.- I think I'd almost feel like a sort of MI5 agent
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- wandering around with that. - Yeah! Bulletproof.- Yeah, exactly.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48- Yeah.- But how functional are these pieces?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Well, I mean, you could still use the pendant light fittings,
0:31:50 > 0:31:53couldn't you? And you could certainly use the case.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I certainly think they're saleable.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I don't rate them massively, if I'm perfectly honest, but...
0:31:57 > 0:32:00- It's not in your taste.- Not my taste, but that doesn't necessarily
0:32:00 > 0:32:02mean that they're not anybody else's taste.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- OK.- So, you never know. Let's keep it crossed.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Now, what do you think they're worth?
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Well, I put probably quite a conservative £30-£50 on them.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13OK, I'm glad you said conservative because, do you know, they paid 80?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Well, hopefully we'll get some good bidding on those.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19But it sounds as though the Blues may need their bonus buy.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21And so, let's find out what it is.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Not a lot left for John.
0:32:26 > 0:32:27So what did you spend it on?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30- You're going to love this. Or hate it!- Oh!
0:32:30 > 0:32:32It's an Edwardian spittoon.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34- Wow!- Nice!
0:32:34 > 0:32:36- How good is that?- You're liking that, Tag.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38You've been after one of them for years.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42One question I'd like to ask is, "In whose living room would this go?"
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Mine.- Yours! Ah.- Do you like this?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I do, actually, I really like it. It would look nice in the living room,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- I must admit.- Well, I'd never seen a spittoon in this format before.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52I've seen spittoons, you know, in ceramics.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54But, you know, I saw it at the fair, I asked the chap,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56and I just thought, "Wow!"
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I've had 25 years in auctioneering, I've never seen one.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00So, it appealed to me for its novelty value.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03- I know it's a filthy habit. - How much did you pay for it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05Well, I paid £50.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08But I didn't have any sort of experience with them,
0:33:08 > 0:33:10seeing them either sold or having seen them before,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13so I don't know if that's a good price or not. I just thought
0:33:13 > 0:33:15for novelty value it was definitely worth a punt at that price.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Do you think it will come up in the auction, then?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Well, that's the unanswered question, Tag.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22My reputation's on the line here.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I don't know. I'd like to think that it's going to appeal, for the same
0:33:25 > 0:33:28reason it did to me, novelty value, to someone.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I think we might make a few pounds profit, but who knows?
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- Fair enough.- Well, if I can spit it out, let's find out
0:33:34 > 0:33:37what the auctioneer thinks of John's rather rare spittoon.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42So, John has bought this little footstool.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44But it's not just a footstool. Tell us what it is.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Well, it's got hidden depths. I mean, there is debate.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49It could be a spittoon, it could be a foot warming stool.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52You could put your ashes in there to keep your tootsies warm.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54It's not the most practical of spittoons.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You'd have to bend down, open your lid and spit into it,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59but I prefer to think of it as a foot warming stool, personally.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- Perhaps more sophisticated than a spittoon.- Yeah, exactly.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04But a footstool nonetheless when you first look at it.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Exactly. And you get a lot of footstools that you find
0:34:07 > 0:34:10with this typical upholstered top, galleried surround there.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14But you don't get this magic, magic treacle-glazed inside.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18It's lovely to have that still with it. It's a great thing.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21I think this has been replaced, obviously, at a later date.
0:34:21 > 0:34:22It's nice and lush, isn't it?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25Yeah, it probably would have had a tapestry top or a needlepoint
0:34:25 > 0:34:27embroidery top, originally.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30I think it's a lovely thing, I really do.
0:34:30 > 0:34:31What do you think it's worth?
0:34:31 > 0:34:34Well, we've put £30-£50 on it. I think it's a good-looking thing,
0:34:34 > 0:34:37but I don't think it's going to be one that flies for us, I'm afraid.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Hm, well, hopefully, hopefully John will be proved right,
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- cos he paid £50 for it.- OK.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- But anything can happen at an auction, can't it?- It certainly can.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- And I wish you the best of luck on the rostrum.- Thank you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- John, tell me how you're feeling. - I'm feeling really excited.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02It's my first auction. Confident that we won't make a profit.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04But you never know, fingers crossed.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Well, yeah, first time again at one of these auctions,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09so looking forward to it. Hopefully we will make a big profit,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- I'm hoping for. Yeah.- Feels good. - We're both hoping to win.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- That's the main thing.- That's what it's all about.- It's why we're here.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18- Yup.- We're starting off with that clear glass decanter.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20You've paid £10 for it.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Christina thinks you could double your money, 10-20. Here it comes.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27Lovely little thing, this. Bid me 10, straightaway, surely at £10.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29At 10. At £10, for the decanter and stopper.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31At £10.
0:35:31 > 0:35:3310 is bid online, straightaway. £10 here.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34- Bid me 15, now.- Come on.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37At £10, I have internet bidder at £10.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Looking for 15.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41At £10 only, then, if you're all done...
0:35:41 > 0:35:4215 is bid.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Internet bidder now at £15.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Come back at 20.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48At £15, internet bidder. Internet bidder at £15.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51If you're all done, internet bidder wins at £15.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- No taste.- Gents. No taste! Listen, don't complain.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57You're in profit. OK, so we're £5 up.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Let's keep things going with your favourite.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02It's the knife rest modelled as a tug-of-war. Here it comes.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05I've got £10, straightaway, with me at £10, with me here on commission.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07For the knife rest at 10.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Where's 15? At £10 I have, bid me 15 now for the knife rest.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13At £10. Bid me 15.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15At £10, then, if you're all done,
0:36:15 > 0:36:18- commission bidder wins at £10. - Come on.- That was your pick.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19At £10.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Oh, £10.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24So, you have lost £20 on that,
0:36:24 > 0:36:27which means that overall you're minus 15.
0:36:27 > 0:36:28You can claw it back on item number three.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- You both think this will make the most profit.- This, hopefully, will.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34It's the carved blotter pad. Here it comes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37I'm bid £30, straightaway with me on commission at £30.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- Where is 5?- OK.- Straight in. - That's good.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42She's starting at 30. You've paid 35.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45At £30, I have. With my commission bidder at £30.
0:36:45 > 0:36:4835, 40. At £40, still with me, then, at £40.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51If we're all done at 40?
0:36:51 > 0:36:5540, which means you made 5, which means you're minus 10.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- OK, come on.- OK, so now is a time to think. You're in the red here.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00- Minus 10.- Yeah.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02But what did you make of JP's bonus buy? Tell us.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- I think it was quite nice, actually. I thought it was good.- 40 quid.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- It's a piece of jewellery with gold and diamond in it.- Come on, JP.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11So, let's be sure, you're going for the bonus buy?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Yeah, we'll go for it.- OK, well, let me tell you now what our auctioneer
0:37:15 > 0:37:17thinks of it. £40 paid by JP.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- Yeah.- Christina said, "Nice bit of jewellery, little sparkle on it.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24"I reckon it'll make 40-60," she said.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27So he paid the right price.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- Let's see.- Let's see who was right.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- I've got interest here, at 35, £45.- Yes!- Straight in at £45.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- So, we're 5 under. We need a couple more.- Come on.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39On commission, at 45, looking for 50 now.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44At £45, it's against you all. With me then at 45.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46- Still profit. - OK, so that makes five.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Got a fiver back, didn't it?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51That means you finish under, but only £5 under.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54And we all know that on Bargain Hunt, that could be a winning score.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Yeah.- Nothing to the Blues,
0:37:56 > 0:37:59and fingers crossed you could win on that.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01- Thank you.- Hopefully. - You never know.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Kerry and Tag, not your first ever auction,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12but your first at Trevanion & Dean, so are you excited?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Yeah. Yeah, nervous but excited.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18Do the Bargain Hunt fleeces add a little bit of pressure?
0:38:18 > 0:38:19- A little, yeah.- A little bit.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22But it's always nice when they match your hair. That's always good.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Exactly.- Didn't have time to do mine.- I know, I didn't get the memo.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Or my eyeliner, nothing. Never mind.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Your first lot is coming up right now.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33It is the copper case barograph. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35£40, on commission with me at 40.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39At £40, here with me on commission, at £40.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40At 40. Looking for 5.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44At £45, internet bidder at £45.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46- Bid me 50, now.- Oh, no, keep going.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48At £45, bid me 50.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53At £45, if you're all done, then, I'm selling to the net at £45.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56- Oh, no!- £45 it sold for.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- So, that's minus 50. - Oh, well.- Do not worry.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02You've got two more opportunities to get some profit.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Here comes your Tri-ang circus van.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06I've got a good starter bid here of £30.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Here with me, at 30.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11At 30, I have here, internet, against you at 30.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I'll take 35. 35 is bid.

0:39:17 > 0:39:20At £35, I have, internet bidder.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Where's 40? At £35, if we're all done,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26internet bidder wins it, then, at £35.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Ooh, £35!- Oh, no!
0:39:28 > 0:39:30That means you've lost another 15.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Your running total is minus 65.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- It all hinges on...- It's still better than I thought!
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- We're doing well.- It all hinges on item number three.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Airstream suitcase and lampshade.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44£20. 20 is bid online. Straight away at £20.

0:39:53 > 0:39:57At £40, internet bidder. Any interest in the room at 45?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00So at £40, internet bidder, then, if we're all done at £40?
0:40:04 > 0:40:05"Covering her mouth in..."
0:40:05 > 0:40:07It's going to be down to you, this one, mate.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09I see the attention's gone back to me now.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11OK. So you've lost 40 on that.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16That means, overall, you are £105 below.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18That's not bad. Plus the petrol, doing well.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21Do you want to go with the lovely John's bonus buy?
0:40:21 > 0:40:23- I would.- Yeah?- Yeah, yeah.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27- What do you reckon? Is it a definite answer? 100%?- Definite answer.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30- I'd buy it myself, so, yeah. - That's what it's all about.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31OK. It all rests on...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Just pay 100-and-odd over the odds and we'll break even.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35- Go for it.- Lot 218.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37Bid me £30.
0:40:37 > 0:40:3920, then.

0:40:41 > 0:40:43At £20, for this little piece here, at £20.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Where's 20? 20 is bid.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Madam, thank you very much. At £20, on my left.
0:40:47 > 0:40:48At £20, where's 5?
0:40:48 > 0:40:51- Come on, somebody else. - At £20, I have, looking for 5.
0:40:51 > 0:40:5225.
0:40:52 > 0:40:5430.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Thank you, anyway. At £30, with you, then, madam at £30.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Looking for 5.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02At £30, with you, then, if we're all done at £30.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Oh, £30.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07It's another £20.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Do you know what? I say, if you're going to do it, do it in style.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15You have lost £125, but, believe me, I've been there.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17This could be a winning score.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20So, promise me you won't say anything to the Reds.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Well done, guys.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31One of you lost in single figures,
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- and one of you lost in triple figures.- Oh, dear.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Which means, that our runners-up today...
0:41:37 > 0:41:39THEY LAUGH
0:41:39 > 0:41:41..by a long chalk, are the Blues.
0:41:41 > 0:41:46And you knew it was coming because you went and lost all of that money.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49- I'm surprised.- I tell you what, we started with a loss,
0:41:49 > 0:41:51and we thought, "Stay positive." Then it was another loss,
0:41:51 > 0:41:52and then it was another loss.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54And we said, "OK, we'll go with the bonus buy,"
0:41:54 > 0:41:56and that was another loss.
0:41:56 > 0:42:02And, overall, believe it or not, you lost the very healthy sum of £125.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I say! Which means I have nothing to hand over to you.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I do hope you go away with some fond memories.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Yeah.- Yeah, definitely. - Of course. Aw, lovely.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Smiling all the way through it, and some more smiles over here,
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- from Tony and John.- Yeah.- We've won. - Because you won, but you still lost.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Because, what was it, a fiver? Just a fiver.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Not bad.- You did pretty well.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22What happened with you?
0:42:22 > 0:42:24It was plus, then minus.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Then minus again, then plus, and so, overall,
0:42:27 > 0:42:30you came out just minus £5.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32But, you guys, you kept us laughing all the way through.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Did you have good fun?- Yeah.- Oh, fantastic. We didn't expect to win.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37- We really didn't expect to make any profit.- Yeah.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- We didn't expect to win.- Well, it's a story to dine out on now,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- isn't it?- Certainly is. - If we had the money.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44SHE LAUGHS Exactly.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46It'll be takeaway from now on.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Anyway, stories to dine out on are exactly what you'll find on our
