0:00:02 > 0:00:04We often see double on this show.
0:00:04 > 0:00:05Whether that's the teams
0:00:05 > 0:00:08or the objects they discover.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12From pairs like these to pairs like these.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14But is two really better than one?
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Or does it lead to double the trouble? Let's find out.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:40 > 0:00:41As you may have guessed,
0:00:41 > 0:00:45we've two teams of twins Bargain Hunting in Lincoln today.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49I can only hope our daring duos double up the money we give them.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56On today's show, both teams are determined to come out on top.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- We've got to make a profit. - You can do this for us.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I'm feeling the pressure.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04But can they keep it together?
0:01:04 > 0:01:07I've gone with you on this but I won't go with you again.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11- I like that, this is the kind of thing I like.- Rachel, no. No.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14So, who will be victorious at the auction?
0:01:14 > 0:01:16I told you, I've got it in the bag!
0:01:16 > 0:01:1750 with you. 55.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Oh, my God! We've made profit!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23But before all that, let's meet our twins.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Well, I suspect name badges would have been a good idea today
0:01:26 > 0:01:29because Bargain Hunt is all about twins!
0:01:29 > 0:01:33And for the Reds, we've got sisters Rachel and Louise.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35And for the Blues, brothers Mark and Lee.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Hello! OTHERS:- Hello.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Well, then, you guys, who's the oldest?- That would be me.- OK, by?
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- Probably about a minute, two. - Queue jumper?- Absolutely.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Does it make a difference, being big sister?
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Yeah, I can be a bit bossy at times but she takes it well.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54She's terribly bossy, she always has been growing up.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57But to be honest, it's our younger brother that's always suffered.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Sorry, Alan. - HE LAUGHS
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Now tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I'm a drug worker so I work with clients who come out of prison
0:02:05 > 0:02:07who have identified substance misuse issues.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Oh, no, it's a commendable vocation and my hat's off to you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11What does big sister do?
0:02:11 > 0:02:13I'm a police lady.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I've been called other things but I prefer police lady.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20And I'm sure that my team will all be looking as the TV
0:02:20 > 0:02:24as they watch this, willing me to do as badly as possible.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I'm sure that's not the case.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Maybe, though.- Yes, I think so.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Now, Rach, I believe you're a competitive one.- Yes.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I've been playing football since I was about seven, I think.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37We used to go down at primary school
0:02:37 > 0:02:40and then I played competitive at university.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42But we did used to play at university
0:02:42 > 0:02:44and we played against each other.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Obviously, we were a lot better.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Louise always lost in her team.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Was she that good, Louise?
0:02:50 > 0:02:53She's always been better than me, I have to say, yes.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Gave that with some grace! So, you're both sporty and competitive?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Are you in it to win it?- Definitely.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01They're not going to stand a chance.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05You say that with some menace, I don't mind, telling. "Definitely."
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Taking no prisoners? - No, 100% menace, all the way.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10I wish you luck. Just because I'm frightened.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Are you feeling the competition from the Reds?- Not at all.- No.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20- No, the ice men here?- Yes. - Unperturbed.- They've got no chance.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Apparently, you're losers. He said that, he said that, not me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- Now, your parents, they'll probably tell you apart.- Apparently not, no.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30My dad can, he's never had a problem.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33When we're on our own, yes. They struggle.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I've been up to my mum's garden a few times
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and started talking to her for about five or ten minutes.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42And then, "Because I thought you was at work today, Mark."
0:03:42 > 0:03:46And I go, "No, I'm Lee." "Oh, yeah, I've not got my glasses ever."
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So yeah, she gets confused.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I believe you do do everything together.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Because you've pretty much mirrored one another's work.- Yeah.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00We started off working at 15, washing up in a restaurant together.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04And we moved on to a big wholesalers, got a job there.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06We work in the printing industry now.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09I'm a printer, Lee is in the bindery in the same company.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11We've even had confusion.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14From people upstairs, as the manager come down.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And he didn't know we were twins and he'd come and spoke to me
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and said, "I've just seen you in that room."
0:04:20 > 0:04:23And I said, "That's my twin brother." And he said, "You what?"
0:04:23 > 0:04:25He'd been talking to us for ten years
0:04:25 > 0:04:29- thinking we're the same person. - What? What?- Yeah, that's true.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32No, I believe, like Rachel and Louise,
0:04:32 > 0:04:33you're a wee bit competitive?
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Very competitive.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- 100%.- Losing is not an option.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Everything we do, we play to win.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42It doesn't matter what it is, we go out to win.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- So this is, we take this very serious.- Yeah.- It's not fun for us.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47- What?- No, we're here to win.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51Holy Moses.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53And in the blue corner...
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Do that thing where you go nose-to-nose. Go on, do it, do it!
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Well, how are you going to win? - We're going to buy cheap.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04We will make a profit on everything we buy. It's impossible not to.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Have you seen this programme? - We have!- It's possible not to.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Yes, this is us now. - We will do, though.- Holy...
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I don't know whether I should give you the money or not, just run!
0:05:14 > 0:05:20- You've got £300.- Thank you.- £300. - Thank you.- Your experts await.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Off you go. And I wish you the very best of luck!- Yay!- Yay!
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well, they may be twins but I wonder if after the auction,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30their profits will look quite so alike.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35So, who will be guiding our teams of twins?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He won't bail on his girls.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Raj Bisram is batting for the Reds.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43And she's on the case.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Kate Bliss takes charge of the Blues.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48OK, girls.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Well, Rachel and Louise, what are we going to be looking for today?
0:05:52 > 0:05:56I think teapots, lids, and bakeware. Something for the house.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Vintage, retro, something cheap, got to be cheap.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00It's got to be cheap, has it?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I think whatever is going to make us win,
0:06:02 > 0:06:06because they've laid the gauntlet down, so there's no option really.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- Do you normally agree with your brother, Lee?- Yeah.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Well, 99% of the time. - We'll soon see.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Time to take the plunge, teams. Your hour starts now.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- FOGHORN BLARES - Let's go shopping.- Let's do it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Both teams of twins are desperate for the win.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24So, this could make things interesting.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28They're too far apart, it's hard to know where to go.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Do you like china?- No.- No? - Stay away from china.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Got that, Kate? And remember, these boys aren't big spenders.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Seen anything yet, girls?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I like that, this is the kind of thing I like.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40The stuff with the print on.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43You know, wooden construction, useful utilities,
0:06:43 > 0:06:44something for the kitchen.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I don't know, like a wine rack, something like that.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51- Well, they do, they do use these for wine. Erm...- Rachel, no, no.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- It's not a particularly nice example of it.- No.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- I'm going to put my foot down. - Not really and it's not that old.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Again, but if you like it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Well, it's that kind of shabby vintage stuff, isn't it?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I'm happy to look at other things like that but no,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04that's not floating my boat.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That's a good example of what I was thinking of.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09So, who is in charge here? Rachel or Louise?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I wonder if Mrs Bliss will get her way with Mark and Lee.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Let's have a closer look.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- Yeah, I like that.- What would you pay for that?- You're the expert.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23It's a little bit different, isn't it? French SNCF.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Steam locomotive, driver signalling lamp.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29I like the brass back and this looks as if it's got somewhere
0:07:29 > 0:07:32and it's got glass in the front here, look,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34which is a good sign of age.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36But that base just looks a bit newer to me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I wonder if that's been screwed on. But where's our stallholder?
0:07:39 > 0:07:44Shall we see? Is this yours, sir? Can you tell us a bit more about it?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I've seen them before and they've got the same kind of base on it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Right.- The French signalling lamp, yes.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Now, the question is, could you use it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- It's got some damage there, hasn't it?- Yeah, well spotted.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- You couldn't use it?- No.- No.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04You're right, you've got a bit of a crease in the little tank there
0:08:04 > 0:08:06at the back and its been re-soldered.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08I think it's been through the wars a bit.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I don't know what profit there will be at that.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13If it went right down in... What's the lowest you'd take for that?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- You've got 55 on it, sir.- I'd knock a tenner off. I'd do it for 45.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21'While the Blues look at the lamp,
0:08:21 > 0:08:24'Raj is sticking to the shopping list.'
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- OK, girls, you've been going on since I met you about teapots.- OK.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32And normally I don't get very excited about teapots but look,
0:08:32 > 0:08:37there's a lovely, lovely little what we call bargeware teapot.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38And this is so pretty.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41And look at that, it's got "Home, Sweet Home" on it.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43The only problem is, this is 20th century, not 19th century.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But this kind of, it's got a bargeware look
0:08:46 > 0:08:48and they were used on the canals.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I mean, this is a little copy but it's a very, very sweet one
0:08:52 > 0:08:53but it's not that old.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Lovely.- I know how you like teapots.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Absolutely, although I'm not sold on the brown.- No, OK.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- What's wrong with brown? - No, just not on a teapot.
0:09:00 > 0:09:01- It's a lovely colour.- No.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Don't stew about it!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Now, how have the Blues got on with the lamp?
0:09:06 > 0:09:08We'll come back and have a...
0:09:08 > 0:09:11You boys, you said you wanted cheap, you certainly do, don't you?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Thanks very much.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Lights out on that deal. Move on, Blues.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- This is, this is my kind of thing. - Ha-ha! What is that?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's an old motorcycle helmet. OK, let's have...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- I've also got a really big head. - Look at that, look at that.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It suits you down to the ground, doesn't it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34To be honest, I always thought I suited hats but clearly not.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- Take it off.- That's really bad.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Oh, dear, I think there was actually something that fell on my hair
0:09:38 > 0:09:40at that point as you took it off.
0:09:40 > 0:09:41I quite like that, though.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- How much is that, please?- 30 quid. - We'll bear it in mind.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Bear it in mind, you don't like it? - No, I think...- My kind of thing.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Yeah, it's just a little bit worn.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Obviously, that's what it's meant to look like.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- That's the whole look of it, it's an old motorcycle helmet.- It is.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58What would you date it as, gentlemen? '40s? Yeah.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02- They're very, very collectable, these now.- Would you take 25?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- That's what I paid for it.- Ah. 27? - SHE LAUGHS
0:10:05 > 0:10:08You're on the right track, definitely on the right track.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I think this is quite a nice and unusual thing, I like this.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Yeah, I like it as well, we need to have something.- 28 quid I'll have.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18- 28, we'll have that then.- I'd go shake his hand straightaway.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Just £28?
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Your canny haggling has secured you a buy at just ten minutes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- These look a bit retro, don't they? - Look at that, that is flower power.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Yeah.- I'm liking it. What do you think?- Is pottery the way?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Yeah, you guys said you didn't want pots, didn't you?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Said you didn't want china, have you changed your mind?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- I just like the retro look. - It is retro.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's Royal Tudor Ware.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45And it is made in Staffordshire, Stoke-on-Trent.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48I would say it's '70s.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's called Penthouse.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52- Nice, classy name.- Hmm.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55And the oranges, the browns,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58the typical sort of '70s colours and palette.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00But you said you wanted retro and that is retro.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03It's retro but I don't know, pottery.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I mean, I thought we'd agree but at the minute, we're not doing, are we?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Ooh!- I'm just looking at the...
0:11:08 > 0:11:10A bit of disagreement amongst the twins!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- You're looking at the price. - There's a profit in that.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15No, there's not, no-one will pay more than that.
0:11:15 > 0:11:16If we brought it down a bit.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Well, you'd have to bring it down to a fiver.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Oh! Who is the boss?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- I'm the boss.- I'm the boss, I have the final decision.- Really?
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- Of course you do, yeah.- What about me? Do I get a look in here?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Oh, no, you do. Is it going to make a profit?
0:11:30 > 0:11:34OK, I think at the right price, somebody might have a go at it.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37The boys here quite like it but they're...
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- They don't want to pay very much money.- What's the price?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- You've got £20 on it. - I'll do it for 15.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Not a tenner?- No!- For us?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Oh, go on, then, I'll do it for a tenner.- Thank you.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- You've got a deal.- Done? Thank you very much indeed.- You're welcome.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56'They've shaken on their first item
0:11:56 > 0:11:59'but I'm not sure the twins are in sync.'
0:11:59 > 0:12:01I don't know, I don't think it will make money.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- I think it's going to be a fiver at tops, if I'm honest.- Yeah.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Well, I like it, I thought for £10, you can't really...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I wanted three profitable items.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That will not make any more than £5!
0:12:12 > 0:12:13I think it might...
0:12:13 > 0:12:17I've gone with you on this but I won't go with you again.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I hope this tiff doesn't spoil their fun!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I forgot, they told me they wouldn't have any.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24Now, what have the Reds found?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26One of the things that is selling well at the moment
0:12:26 > 0:12:28is industrial lights.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- I notice there's a hell of a lot here.- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:32Let's switch back to the Blues
0:12:32 > 0:12:36who are still arguing about that coffee set they bought.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39That will not make any more.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Well, I was struggling.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47You were, then you went and pointed at some pottery. Well done.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48I like the colour.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Come on, boys. We don't want you arguing for the next 35 minutes.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'm feeling the pressure.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56Come on, find something!
0:12:56 > 0:13:00You better step on it, Reds. That goes for you too, Blues.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02What have you got?
0:13:02 > 0:13:05This ladder, I just thought if you put some pots on them,
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- make it a bit of a herb garden type thing, on a patio.- Ah!
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Bit of a decorator's piece? Yeah, or a florist's?
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- Just be something different, yeah. - Some flowers hanging over.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Yeah, so you're thinking more a decorative thing
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- rather than a practical thing? - No, I wouldn't want to use it...
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Just something you'd have in your garden.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25There's me thinking you were king of DIY?
0:13:25 > 0:13:29- I do like a bit of DIY sometimes. - Do you?- But not with these.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Not with those? - I don't think they'd hold me.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, they've certainly got the look.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36If you're thinking for an interior decorator's,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38they certainly fit the bill.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Are they rickety? Are they quite sturdy?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Yeah, well you can sort that out, couldn't you?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47- Could you sort that out?- Yes.- You're very positive about these, fellas.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49I do like them but they're...
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I wouldn't spend a lot of money on them. What's the price?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53No, they'd have to come down.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57You say that about everything, Mark! Or is it Lee? No, it's Mark.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59- £28.- £28, yes.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03I quite like the fact that you've got remnants of paint on them.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07They're pine, obviously, they've been stripped back a bit.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09They've been used, they've been waxed,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12they've got quite a nice sort of patina on them.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Yeah, but they need to be affordable.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20- What sort of thing are you thinking? - I think half that. £15.- Half that?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22If not, cheaper.
0:14:22 > 0:14:24I have to say, I think that's more like an auction price,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I agree with you, but it all depends
0:14:26 > 0:14:28what the stallholder's prepared to do. Do you want to have
0:14:28 > 0:14:31a chat with them? You going to do the double trouble approach?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33What's the lowest you'd take on these?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- The lowest you'd take on them? - 15 would be the lowest.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38- Would you do a tenner?- Just to make these, I'm not with them.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42- We've got to make a profit. You can do this for us.- We're desperate.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Yeah, OK.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Thank you very much.- That's my break even.- No, I appreciate it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- That's really kind, sir.- Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51- Thank you.- What a gent.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Onwards and upwards, Blues.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56That's two buys down and one to go. Ladies, be warned.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00You only have 35 minutes to get your last two.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05My advice, boldly to parts of the fair where you've never been before.
0:15:12 > 0:15:17If I turn this rather distinctive case thus,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21you will see a US Navy emblem.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23And what do we have underneath this dome?
0:15:23 > 0:15:24Is it perhaps a diver's helmet?
0:15:24 > 0:15:27That would be a Navy piece of equipment, would it not?
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Well, while it is a helmet underneath this dome,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35it's one intended not for the depths of the oceans, but rather...
0:15:37 > 0:15:40..the upper reaches of our atmosphere and beyond.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Behold the Goodrich Mark IV pressure helmet.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48MUSIC: Starman by David Bowie
0:15:48 > 0:15:50In the mid-20th century, the Space Race
0:15:50 > 0:15:52captured the world's imagination
0:15:52 > 0:15:56and saw mankind push the limits of science and technology.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59So, artefacts from that time are very special indeed.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06In 1957, Soviets put Sputnik, a satellite, in space.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Now, this shocked Americans.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13NASA was tasked with getting an American in space
0:16:13 > 0:16:14before the Soviets.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19The project was Mercury, named after the Messenger of the Gods.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And the launch is go.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26By 1961, the USA and the Soviets were neck-and-neck
0:16:26 > 0:16:30in their battle to put the first-ever human in space.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34The United States lost by a matter of weeks
0:16:34 > 0:16:36but did eventually get their man into orbit.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41All right! Liftoff and the clock is started!
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Alan Shepard became the first American
0:16:43 > 0:16:46to reach suborbital heights.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Yes, sir, reading you loud and clear.
0:16:50 > 0:16:57Shepard wore a modified Goodrich Mark IV pressure helmet.
0:16:57 > 0:17:03And if you are an aerospace geek like me, that will blow your mind.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05I adore this object.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Well, these are rather scarce. If not downright rare.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15This particular example was discovered in a general antiques
0:17:15 > 0:17:17and collectors auction
0:17:17 > 0:17:19sticking out like a sore thumb.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24It was procured for all of £320.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Now, if you're lucky enough to find one of these in the hands
0:17:28 > 0:17:32of a specialist, I expect you would have to pay in excess
0:17:32 > 0:17:37of £1,000 for the joy and privilege of owning such a helmet.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41If you're a bit of an aerospace geek like me,
0:17:41 > 0:17:47I'm sure you will agree this, so far as a bargains go,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51is almost quite literally out of this world.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Let's get back down to Earth.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02The Blues have two items and the Reds have one.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06With less than half an hour left, you're cutting it fine, ladies.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- Oh! - THEY LAUGH
0:18:08 > 0:18:11We've got to keep looking, we haven't got time to have a haircut.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14You feeling the pressure, Raj? How about you, Kate?
0:18:14 > 0:18:18The boys said they wanted to buy cheaply and oh, boy, they meant it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21And I think it's their really competitive streak coming out.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24They don't want to spend any money, they want something for nothing.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26So, we still on the retro theme?
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- Well, I've moved to anything cheap. - Quirky.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33We just need to walk a bit faster, girls.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Yeah, just keep momentum going.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Anything you fancy, guys?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Ooh, that's a bit gruesome. Ooh!
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Girls?- Right.- OK, I know we did the first one really quickly
0:18:44 > 0:18:47but the next two have really slowed up.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- We've only got 20 minutes left, so let's go.- Oh, gosh.- Come on.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Let's do this. Oh!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58I quite like the old suitcases.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02I quite like the dark-coloured one, Rachel, with the metal.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- What do you think?- I think it's a really nice vintage trunk.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I think it's in really good condition.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I mean, I think it's a saleable item. If you like it...
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I quite like the look of it.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15I mean, it does look like it's been painted over a little bit.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- I think that's, I think that's original.- It's a statement peace.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21We were thinking about getting a trunk.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah, put an offer in. I would.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Shall we start to negotiate?- Yes.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29All I can say to you is, girls, at auction,
0:19:29 > 0:19:33I would be estimating that somewhere between £60 and £90.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yeah, well, I'm going to ask for £60.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I'm going to say, are you going to give that to me for £60?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Absolutely not.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I think you should pack up and move on then, Reds.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48- But be warned, you've just under 15 minutes left.- Hard work, come on.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I think we need to get another one under our belt.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Two more, the Blues need just one.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Guys, come and have a look over here.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Now, we're going off the retro theme a bit but these are really stylish.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- Are you cufflinks wearing? - I'm not particularly but...- Hmm.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Hmm, not brimming over with enthusiasm?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Only because I'm not really a cufflink but what were you saying?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Well, they're nine-carat gold.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Nice and plain, they've got a little bit of engine turning on there.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19And you've got what's known as torpedo terminals.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22That are actually great because they make them quite easy to wear.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- They're in a nice little period leather box, look at that.- Hmm.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Now, the gentleman has got them at about 50.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Well, we'd need to get it right down if I was going to buy them.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35How did I know you would say that?
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- £50 is just way too much for you guys, isn't it?- We don't pay, no.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- No.- We only pay £10.- Well, do you want to have a chat with Edward?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- Sir, would you mind? - What's the best possible price?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Because obviously, we've got to make money on these.- £40.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- What would you do? Would you go 30? - It cost me £40.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Do you want it for 35, sir? - I think...
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- It would scrap for more than that. - That is a jolly good price.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- If you want to weigh it, it's £8.50 a gram today.- Could you weigh it?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Have you got some scales? Well, here we go, guys.
0:21:06 > 0:21:12OK, we've got 3.5 grams. Eight threes are 24. 24.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Got about £30 worth of scrap there
0:21:14 > 0:21:17and the gentleman is selling them for 35.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I mean, that's literally just over the scrap.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Would you do 30 and we'll take them now?- Take them.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Thank you very much, we'll take them for 30.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29You got them to part with more than a tenner! Well done, Kate.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32And well done on getting your third buy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:33That's your shop done and dusted.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35Got to win now. This is all about winning now.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37It's all about the winning.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Well, I don't think you two could have done any better.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Come on, let's go and have a cup of tea.- What about the auction?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46While the Blues put the kettle on, let's see what the Reds have found.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49There's a nice pair of mother of pearl opera glasses there.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54And they do sell. Mother of pearl is a nice material they're made with.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Very few are in good condition that are still left.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01And at auction, they should make between £40 and £60, yeah?
0:22:01 > 0:22:04I mean, they're late-19th century, early-20th century ones.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07And they look, at auction, they should do quite well
0:22:07 > 0:22:08if we can get them at the right price.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11They're nice and ornate as well. They're quite pretty.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12- Quite like them.- Cute things.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15We don't actually have time to get these out
0:22:15 > 0:22:16and have a good look at them.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19We're just going to have to make a decision and go with it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Let's find out what the best price is, yes?- Yeah, sure.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- We've got to get something. - Definitely.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Where's the stallholder? Excuse me, sir.- Yes.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- Your opera glasses, the mother of pearl ones?- Yes! £65.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34- What's the best you can do on them? - Oh!- Nice round number of 50?
0:22:36 > 0:22:3840?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39THEY LAUGH
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- That's not the way you're supposed to do it.- Yes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45At auction, I said to the girls, they should make £40-£60,
0:22:45 > 0:22:46as you well know.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49- Yes.- And so to give us a chance, can you do £40?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- I'll do them 40.- 40?- That's lovely. - I think that's a deal.- That's great.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Brilliant, Reds.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56But by not inspecting them, could you get in hot water?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58We'll find out soon.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02Well, well done, chaps. Three pieces and you've only spent 50 quid.
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Crikey! I've got £250 to blow on a bonus now. Fantastic.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10We won't be taking your bonus if you do that.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- You know what we're all about, buy cheap.- We're skinflints.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Buy cheap, sell high.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Well, you've done jolly well, well done.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20There's just five minutes left now
0:23:20 > 0:23:22and the Reds need to get their last item.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I like the look of that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27No, that's just dust.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Is that like a reproduction-type thing?
0:23:29 > 0:23:31I take it there's no real age to that.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Doesn't look like there's any real age.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35There might be parts of it that are old
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- but a lot of it is put together. - How about that old black one there?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Has that got any age to it? It looks older.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Yeah, I would think a lot of these have been restored.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- We'll look at that one. - It does look nice, I like them,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I like the way they look. I think some people do.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50But I think the issue is they're not going to go to auctions
0:23:50 > 0:23:53to pick them up, they're going to get reproductions, aren't they?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- But how much is it?- £75.- 75.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59OK, if you can pick that up for 50 quid, that's not a bad buy.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Let's see what sort of weight is it, let's have a look.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05As always, I won't put my back in!
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I like, what I like about this one is the glass on it,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10because that looks original.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Are you going to be able to use it, though?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16- I mean, that will work again, I take it?- Yes, definitely.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18They can all be rewired, a lot of these are rewired.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20It just comes down to the price.
0:24:20 > 0:24:24I mean, again, at auction, I'd see this around £40-£60.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28So, if you can get it within that price range, you'll be doing OK.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32- What's the best you can do? - I'll do it at 60.- Can we do 55?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34The sun's come out, they've got to make a profit,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36we're running out of time.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38- Go on, then.- 55. Shake the man's hand, girls.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Shake his hand, let's do it!- Ho-ho!
0:24:40 > 0:24:42THEY GIGGLE
0:24:42 > 0:24:44'Bravo, Reds. You got there in the end.'
0:24:44 > 0:24:46CAT MEOWS
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Time's up, twins! Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Raj found this vintage helmet and the girls went along for the ride.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54£28 paid.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57They didn't even look at these opera glasses.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00We'll soon see if £40 was money well spent.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02And this street lamp was £55.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Let's hope it brightens up the auction.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Rachel, Louise, how's the fighting spirit now then?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11It's long gone.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13We left it! We left it over there.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Tell me...just one thing.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Describe to me what those opera glasses actually look like?
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- I didn't even... - I think mother of pearl. Yeah!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- That sold it to us, really.- Really?
0:25:25 > 0:25:28How much did this cost you in the end?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30All together, it was £123 we spent today.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33123? No big jeopardy there.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- £177 there, is there?- Yes. - I'll have that, thank you very much.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40But not for long. I'll hand it over to the trusty hands of Raj.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- Thank you very much, Paul. - Kitchenalia, is it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47I'm sure I can find something that can make them some money with this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51- I've no doubt you can, Raj. Good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57The boys disagreed on the £10 coffee set,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00so will it leave a bitter taste at the auction.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03But the twins were in step on this wooden ladder.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05It cost them a tenner.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10And have they struck gold with these nine-carat cufflinks? £30 paid.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Mark, Lee, do I see victors before me?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Er, I think...- Yeah, we will...
0:26:17 > 0:26:18We'll win.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I said we're going to win, so we'll win.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It might be tight, though, because we've gotten very cheap.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25- Really?- Yes.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- What's your favourite lot? - The cufflinks.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- The third item.- The cufflinks, the gold cufflinks.- Yeah.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34But we didn't pick that.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35- Ah!- Our expert.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- I think that... - That's why she's here!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- And how much have you spent?- £50.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43And on the other two lots?
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- That was in total. - No, that's it.- Really?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Really? Including gold cufflinks?- Yeah.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55- Give me £250, one of you, please.- There it is.- Holy Moses!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Kate Bliss, what are you going to do with this? There's a budget!- I know.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02The thing is, though, do I stick to the guys' strategy
0:27:02 > 0:27:06and go really, really cheap, or do I blow the lot?
0:27:06 > 0:27:09- You know how we are, you've got to go cheap.- Cheap.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- Cheap's the only way.- Cheap. - You're under orders, Kate.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- Whether she will obey them remains to be seen.- Yes.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17And we'll find out at the auction!
0:27:19 > 0:27:23And we're literally heading down the road to Golding, Young & Mawer.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25With Colin Young himself. How are you, Colin? You well?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Very well, Paul. Good to see you.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well, look, the Reds, Rachel and Louise.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32They bought quite a little assortment.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Not the least of which is the vintage bike helmet.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- You like your motorbikes, don't you?- Oh, yes.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I like bikes, I like vintage, so that's just up my street.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43So, you like vintage bike helmets? So, '50s, '60s?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yes, that's the sort of period for that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- What sort of value's in that today? - £25-£40.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50They do come on the market fairly regularly.
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Yes, it's just an iconic piece.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well, those numbers sound all right
0:27:54 > 0:27:57because Rachel and Louise paid £28 for that.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00So we could be off to a good start, a flying start, can I say?
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Thereafter, it's onto the pair of pretty standard
0:28:04 > 0:28:08mother of pearl veneered opera glasses.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11It has to be said, if I had a pound for every time
0:28:11 > 0:28:15I'd seen some of these, I would probably have about £187.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- So, it's quite good actually, isn't it?- Roughly?- That's right!
0:28:18 > 0:28:21So, pleasing example of their kind,
0:28:21 > 0:28:24with the case. Fair enough.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Value?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Well, they regularly make £25,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30£40 at a push for this more standard model.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Well, you referred to at a push.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36We need the push because Rachel and Louise paid £40 for them.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- So that could be, we might need a wind in our sails.- Yep.
0:28:39 > 0:28:45OK, and lastly and substantially, we've got our wall-mounting lamp.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48It's a pretty impressive lump, is it not?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51It is, you certainly win by volume on this one, don't you?
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Victorian is the style but I don't think Victorian is the date.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57Looks to be more a sort of cast aluminium.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59So, 20th century but still a good-looking thing.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01That would be an expensive thing to go and replace.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- What's it worth under the hammer? - I think, in the second-hand market,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07you're looking at maybe £50-£80, something like that.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10£100 might be a bit of a push but you'd never know your luck.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Well, do you know what? We don't need the push.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- The Reds would be more than happy. They paid £55.- Very good.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18They may not need a bonus buy, but in case they do,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20let's go and see what Raj turned up.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26Louise, Rachel, you spent a canny £123,
0:29:26 > 0:29:29leaving Raj all of £177, if my maths is right.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Show us what you invested in, Raj.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Well, girls, you wanted something to do with kitchenalia.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37So, I thought I'd buy you a teapot!
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- THEY LAUGH - What is it?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- What do you mean, what is it? - No! You're going to sell it to us.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Do you remember when we went round and I showed you a small teapot,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- which was a reproduction and it was what we call bargeware?- Yes.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Well, this is bargeware.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58It was made in a place called Meacham and it's mid-19th century.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Raj, how much have you paid for it?
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Well, I actually only paid £30 for it, which I think is a real bargain.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11- Is brown a popular colour?- Brown's a fantastic colour!- He's happy.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12- On a teapot?- My favourite colour!
0:30:12 > 0:30:14No, absolutely. I think it's a collectable.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16It's in good condition so we might do OK.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- It works, you can think about it. - It's kitchen memorabilia.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22It's definitely kitchen memorabilia, which is what you wanted.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23We're definitely going to go with it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- I'm looking forward to losing a fortune!- Oh, you're so kind(!)
0:30:27 > 0:30:29You don't have to make that decision now.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31There may be a debate to be had later on.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34We'll wait until the auction of your three purchases.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37But in the meantime, let's go see if the auctioneer thinks
0:30:37 > 0:30:39the team should go with Raj's teapot
0:30:39 > 0:30:41or perhaps not touch it with a barge pole.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47Well, what think you of that, Colin?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Well, that is a little bit of a bonus, isn't it?
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Very nice teapot, looks to be in good order.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57Erm, fairly standard model, though. So, I suppose 25 to £40.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59OK, so well bought at £30.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Again, as with the team's purchases,
0:31:01 > 0:31:05mostly hovering at low estimate and that bodes well.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I've just got to deliver on my promises now.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11OK, well that's it for the Reds. Over to the Blues with Mark and Lee.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13And they've got an entirely different feel,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16kicking off with their full-blown retro coffee wares. Do you like?
0:31:16 > 0:31:20- Generally, I don't like but this is a pattern I do like.- Yes!
0:31:20 > 0:31:23This has that cafe au lait look about it.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27The browns are in there that's reminiscent of the coffee beans.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30And I love the name, Penthouse Pattern.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33It just raises everything up, doesn't it? Takes it to the top.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I've put an estimate of 10 to 30 and we'll see.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39Great news is Mark and Lee managed to get it for £10.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43- So, that looks a great start.- Bit of a chance there, I would think.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Well, from there, we go to the rustic stepladders.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49Well, it's a stepladder, isn't it?
0:31:49 > 0:31:51It's going to be purely for one of those buyers
0:31:51 > 0:31:53that just wants to go up in the world.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55That's all you can say, isn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Is it worth £10? Should be.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Will someone pay 30? Well, they might do. Let's go for 10 to 30.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03- Would you believe? £10 grabbed the ladders as well.- OK.
0:32:03 > 0:32:09Now, we go from retro through rustic to something rather smart
0:32:09 > 0:32:13in the pair of gold cufflinks with a good name attached to them.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Surely you like those? - I think they're all right.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20But, and I suppose the inevitable question on these is always
0:32:20 > 0:32:22how much they paid on the day.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Has the gold price changed from the day of the buying
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- to the day of the auction? - Indeed, yeah.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32And with an estimate of 25 to 40, we're going to find out the truth
0:32:32 > 0:32:33when the hammer falls, aren't we?
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Indeed we are. But do you know what?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- What?- The cufflinks were bought for £30.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40So again, it makes no difference.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43At low estimate, this is looking like
0:32:43 > 0:32:46maybe a varied but certainly a strong portfolio from here.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- Both teams look good.- Happy days.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53Well, bonus buy may not be needed here but we never can tell.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Let's go and see what Kate bought in that department.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Lee, Mark, I'm ashamed to say you spent £50.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05That said, you left your expert £250
0:33:05 > 0:33:07to go and invest on your behalf.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10Show us, what have you come up with, Kate?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- OK, you ready, boys?- Hmm!
0:33:12 > 0:33:14What do you think of that name?
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- It's a nice box. - Well, have a look inside.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21- Just check it out, check the condition out. Oh!- So, what is it?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24So, it is a little bookmark.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27It's by Tiffany's, so it belongs in the little box.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30And it's a little bookmark in the shape of a turtle.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32It's a lovely shape, animals always...
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- We just want to know the price.- Oh!
0:33:36 > 0:33:39OK, I'll tell you, boys. It was...a tenner.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- Oh!- That's good, that's my kind of...- I like it.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Does that suit?- I'm liking it.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49- Sounds like a clever purchase to me. - Yeah.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Well then, you don't have to decide.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Not until after the auction of your lots.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56But in the meantime, let's go see
0:33:56 > 0:34:00if the auctioneer agrees that our bookmark was a wise purchase.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Well, Colin, what do you think of our little turtle?
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Well, that's all right, isn't it?
0:34:06 > 0:34:09I mean, with silver, there's probably £10 worth of silver there.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13You've got a brand name on top. So, I suppose, estimate 25 to 40.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- That should encourage. - Do you know what?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I think it's worth a tenner of anyone's money without the name.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21The minute you slap Tiffany on it, that's got to squeeze it further.
0:34:21 > 0:34:28- Yes.- Good news for the Blues, good news for Kate. She got that for £10.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I think the Blues are going to struggle to go wrong here
0:34:31 > 0:34:33but I could be jinxing it.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35We'll see what they're going to shell out for it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- Oh, loving your work. Taking the auction, Colin?- I am indeed.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Well, I am looking forward to it.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44With the form you appear to be on, I think we are in safe hands.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48I cannot wait to see how this lot all goes under the hammer.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Excellent quality at 55 bid. 60, do I see now? 60 on the net.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55Going at £85. Last call, 85. Thank you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Rachel, Louise. How are you feeling?
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- A bit nervous.- A bit nervous? - Yeah, possibly.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Your helmet's the first lot and here it comes now.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Lot number 169 is the vintage two-tone
0:35:05 > 0:35:07black and white motorcycle helmet.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Who's going to start me at £30 for it?

0:35:20 > 0:35:22No way! No way!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25No more from the room, going then at £35.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- No way.- £35.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- It's a profit.- That is plus £7.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33The horror opera glasses!
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Here it comes now. Good luck.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Lot number 170, pair of late-19th, early-20th century
0:35:37 > 0:35:40gilt metal and mother of pearl opera glasses.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42There we go, who's going to start me at 30?
0:35:42 > 0:35:4430 bid. 5. Bid 40.
0:35:44 > 0:35:4640 bid. 45 now. Come on!

0:35:50 > 0:35:52- No way!- No.- Yes.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5650 with you, 55, commission bidder, 60 in the room now.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57THEY LAUGH

0:36:08 > 0:36:10Done and finished on the net at £70.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- £70!- Huge! Plus £30.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- I think the expression ye of little faith.- Yes, exactly, girls!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19This was my favourite. It'll probably make a loss.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Well, here's the lamp.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Lot number 171, of course, is a cast aluminium street lamp and bracket.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Who's going to start me at £100 for it? £100 for this, 100.
0:36:27 > 0:36:2980 to go then. £80, anybody?

0:36:33 > 0:36:35- No!- '30 to go, surely?'
0:36:35 > 0:36:36I made a loss.

0:36:37 > 0:36:4030 with you. 35. 35. Bid 40.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- It's cheap!- It's just in weight? - Come on.- No, it's going.

0:37:04 > 0:37:07- How do you like them apples?!- Girls!
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Now, are you going to gild the lily with the teapot? Or not?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Yeah, I'm going to... He picked the opera glasses, so yes.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17Well, here it comes now. Your bargeware teapot.
