0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today, we've headed to the East of England Showground at Peterborough.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Now, did you know, it's the very soil I'm stood on that brought wealth
0:00:12 > 0:00:13to this cathedral city?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Through most of the 20th century, it was Peterborough's bricks
0:00:16 > 0:00:20that helped Britain's construction industry flourish.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Now, I'm the foreman today. A bit tight.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25So if there's any building to be done, it needs to be
0:00:25 > 0:00:26focused on profits.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28So let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Our teams have some solid foundations to work from today,
0:00:59 > 0:01:01with 1,000 stalls to root around.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04So, with £300 and 60 minutes on the clock,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07let's see if they can cement a profit at auction.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Coming up on today's programme, the Reds are falling apart.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17- How long have you been married? - About three months.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Do you think it will last?- Hmm. - Hmm. Hmm.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Actually, it's been five months.- Oh! - Five months.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Blues get into the swing of it.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31- If it weren't so old, I'd tackle you down with them now.- Well, that's OK.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- That's pleasant.- That's the end of our Bargain Hunting career.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35THEY LAUGH
0:01:35 > 0:01:38And at the auction, it's all smiles for the Reds.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42And it is good news for the Blues.
0:01:42 > 0:01:43Yes!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46But before all that... On the show today,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48we have two teams of married couples.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50For the Reds, we've got Yasmin and Prash.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54- And for the Blues, we've got Simon and Lorraine. Hello. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56Now, Yasmin and Prash,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I believe it took some time for you two to get together.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We originally met about five years ago.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07And it was actually my cousin and her best mate's party.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09We kind of glanced at each other...
0:02:09 > 0:02:11I like to think there was a romantic
0:02:11 > 0:02:13glance at each other across the room,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16but it couldn't have been that good, nothing came of it then.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20- The next step, we met at the same couple's engagement.- Ah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Again, Prashant had a couple of cheesy chat up lines.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Managed to get some courage up this time. - PAUL LAUGHS
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- And we then met at the wedding. - Same couple?
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Same couple. Same couple. And we are here today.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Took some doing, but it was meant to be, clearly.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Took a little bit longer than normal, but, yeah.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Now, Yasmin, I believe your job involves bargaining.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- Tell me more about that.- Yes, I'm a medical recruiter for a hospital.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49So lots of clinical staff, nurses and doctors.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54You, in your day job, are looking for the best and something with a certain something,
0:02:54 > 0:02:57and at the right...at the right...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Competitive rates, yes, indeed.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Now, Prashant, your job is very cutting edge, I believe.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Yes, so I work for a global medical technology company.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So we do things like brain function monitoring, or region oximetry.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And what is your involvement in that? It sounds fascinating.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17I help NHS and private hospitals find funding for these
0:03:17 > 0:03:18types of equipment.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And then introduce these equipments into the hospitals so they're
0:03:21 > 0:03:24ready to use and hopefully keep everybody safe and living longer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Well, I think you've got the skills required.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28What are going to be your tactics today?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I think Yasmin has definitely got the keen eye.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36So I think you'll do the looking, hopefully I can get the price right.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40That sounds like a potentially winning approach.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Now, the Blues. Simon and Lorraine.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Simon, they tell me you met one another at an auction.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Now, that bodes well. Tell me more.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Yes, I purchased her for the princely sum of £30
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- and Volkswagen Polo. - I like your style.
0:03:53 > 0:03:58- It was a bargain.- You're hitting all the right buttons, I'll tell you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03So, you're...on a night out, charity auction. You are up for auction yourself.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07And it was like, "OK, do I get any choice in this?" And it was like, "No."
0:04:07 > 0:04:09And 26 years later, he's still got me.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Hey, that's a good buy, I have no doubt.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- Now, you design people's homes for a living.- I do.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Houses, extensions, commercial properties, anything like that.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Planning them, building regs,
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- I've been a self-employed architect for the past ten years.- OK.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Lorraine, what do you do for a living?
0:04:27 > 0:04:30I work in a chip shop in Hunstanton,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34and it is proper, traditional fish and chips. Not cooked in oil,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36cooked in beef dripping.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- So you've got the proper taste. - Salt and vinegar.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Any time you want to come up, fish and chips on me.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Pickled egg and an onion the size of an orange for me.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Onions are like that.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Oh, tell me that is as good as I want it to be
0:04:49 > 0:04:52and not a living hell because you hate fish and chips.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- Best job in the world. - That quality British product.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58It is a quality British product. It is the best of Norfolk as well.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Of course, I had no doubt. - Of course.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03Tell me about your tactics today.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07If it jumps out and I like it, and our expert agrees and says yes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Well, that leads me
0:05:08 > 0:05:11nicely to the point where I set you up
0:05:11 > 0:05:14with the money, all of £300.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Thank you.- Look at that. And for the Blues, an equal sum.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Your experts await, so off you go, and the very best of luck to you.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Thank you.- With the spotting skills and the bargaining
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I have seen either side of me today, expect some action.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38But before the fun begins, it's time to meet our experts.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Hoping for a hat-trick with his buys today,
0:05:41 > 0:05:43for the Reds, it's Philip Serrell.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49And scooting to success, for the Blues, it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51We've got one hour. What are you going to buy?
0:05:51 > 0:05:54- I'm looking for maybe some figurines.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- And what is she going to let you buy?- Hopefully I'm going to find something quirky,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- something a bit out there. - So what are we looking for?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02- Quirky and unusual. - Quirky and unusual.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- And what are we looking for? - Quirky and unusual.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07- Oh, my gosh, you're married and you agree?- Oh, yes.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Right, teams, time to swing into action.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14Time starts...now.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15Let's get going.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22So, top of the list for both couples is something quirky.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Which team will come out on top?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26We are quite competitive, we like to win.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29From what I've heard, the Blues are really up for this.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- Like REALLY up for this. They want to win.- You're not wrong, Phil.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Look at them go.- We've spotted something.- Oh, my goodness.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Lorraine is excited about something. - She is a speedy worker, is she not?
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Oh, a rusty tin bath. - Oh, she wants a bath.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48HE LAUGHS
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- She probably needs a bath. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- It is quite a warm day. - People put them in their gardens for flowerbeds.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- OK.- You can use that for so many different things in your garden.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Yes, it's already got the drain holes in it,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00so that would be perfect for a planter.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I mean, I'm thinking, to be perfectly honest with you,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05that is quite big. What's your thoughts about the milk churn?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- See, I like that as well.- What would you use it for in practical terms?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Obviously that could be a planter.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12I think people put them outside their houses, don't they?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15As a decorative item. But what's really nice about it,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17it's been decorated with these wonderful floral scenes here.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20I think this could have been a heart here originally,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24which has been repainted. But I just think it is a nice, decorative thing.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Excuse me, sir.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Whose stall is this? Your stall, darling.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- How much have you got on your bath? - 65.- 65. And the churn?- The same.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- What would be your best prices on those?- 50 each.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- 50 each, OK.- See, I like both of them. I think they go together.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Yeah, they're kind of...
0:07:41 > 0:07:45- That's a lot of money to spend. - It is.- I think this one is a more practical.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- I could see someone using that as a planter. This I'm not sure about. - OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51I think that probably has got a bit more commercial appeal, in all honesty.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- I will take your professional... - I like it.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Would you take £40 cash, sir?
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yes, go on, then.- You would take £40
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Oh, my gosh, she's done it. Oh, my God. - THEY LAUGH
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Wow, there's no messing about with Lorraine.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Yeah. I think that could make a bit of profit.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- You've just bought yourself a milk churn.- We've got a milk churn!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Well done, team. Oh, my goodness.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16High-fives indeed.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19We're not even five minutes into the shop yet.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22You really are quick off the mark, Blues.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26The Reds, meanwhile, are taking an altogether more leisurely pace.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It's been awhile now, we need to...
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Lots of homeware bits, lots of glass,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33but they are not anything different.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Come on, Reds, you are already trailing behind.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Time to get in there and put some items under the spotlight.
0:08:39 > 0:08:44- Talking about lights, how about some spotlights?- They look different.
0:08:44 > 0:08:48- A feature piece, maybe. - The Norwegian Navy.- Norwegian Navy?
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Yeah.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I know you've got 175 on them.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55What's the least you could do them for?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57One's mine and one's my husband's, so...
0:08:57 > 0:09:01Ah, another husband and wife team, who each own one of the lamps.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04How will you handle this one, Phil?
0:09:04 > 0:09:08OK, then what I'd like to do is send your husband over there,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11and you whisper very gently what's the best you could do it for.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- (155.)- OK.- What did she say?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- I'm not going to tell you. What's the best for yours?- 150.
0:09:19 > 0:09:24- You're history, you are.- Divide and conquer. I like your style, Phil.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- But it's a lot of money. - Do you like that?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- I'm not 100%. - Sometimes...sometimes...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33sometimes you don't have to say a word. There is a look...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- You can see on my face. - There is a look.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39"And do you like that?" You went... "Uh! Uh!"
0:09:39 > 0:09:41That's the look that you get.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45We're getting an insight into how this marriage works.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Yeah.- Yeah?- Expressioned.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50We've only been married three months, so...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53No time for a lover's tiff, you're ten minutes in
0:09:53 > 0:09:54and yet to buy an item.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Meanwhile, the Blues are still motoring ahead,
0:10:01 > 0:10:06- and Simon has got his eye on a lovely lamp.- A nice road lamp.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Is there such a thing?- Well...
0:10:08 > 0:10:10SHE LAUGHS
0:10:10 > 0:10:13So that is a lantern that you obviously would put your...
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Can I help you hold that? - Lantern in there.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22So I think it is probably a signal lamp rather than a lantern lantern.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- It just caught my eye, a little bit unusual.- Yes, it is very unusual.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Gosh, you're going for architectural salvage type pieces, aren't you?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It just caught my eye. It is an unusual shape.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I quite like the architectural shape and the vent holes at the top.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35How much is the lamp?
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- Well, I'm asking 300.- Oh!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41No, you're not. Really?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- That's quite a rare one.- Wow!
0:10:44 > 0:10:47At that price, it would have to be a magic lantern!
0:10:47 > 0:10:51For the shape of it... They're not coming around.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53What would be your absolute depth on that, darling?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Seeing as it's you, I could do it for 70. I can't do...
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- That's the best.- £70. Do you like it?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- No.- No. - THEY LAUGH
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- I knew the answer.- I thought we were going to agree on everything.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07It just doesn't... I can't see a use for it.
0:11:07 > 0:11:12I love that you're so speedy, but let's just...
0:11:12 > 0:11:16have a look and potentially come back in a bit. Great, are we ready?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Yes.- Right, let's go.- Oh, hang on, I wanted to look at that...
0:11:19 > 0:11:22..pull. Pull, pull, pull.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Go on, then, Lorraine, find something you can all agree on.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Back to the Reds, who are finally heading in the right direction.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I mean, on a kitchen wall or something, I think
0:11:36 > 0:11:39- that would look very nice. - A statement piece, maybe.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Yeah.- Do know what I would do with it?- What would you do with it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:44I would put it in the centre of a table.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Oh, that would look lovely, wouldn't it?- So then you've got a really cool table around you.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54- So how old is this? - I would say 1920s, 1930s.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Our shy stallholder is full of useful information.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01And he doesn't seem to want to budge on price.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04The sort of best is the price that I've stated quite clearly on it,
0:12:04 > 0:12:05which is 65.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09Would there be a way we could achieve maybe a mutually
0:12:09 > 0:12:14- amicable price?- That's it, Prashant, put those haggling skills into action.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16There is, what I call, the nominal gesture,
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- which would take it back to £60. - Are there any nominal gestures?- No.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- I...- 60 quid.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27If we do it at £60, you can get rid of my headache.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29THEY LAUGH
0:12:29 > 0:12:32With that at 60, I think that's a cracking deal. Thank you.
0:12:32 > 0:12:37I'd heard about these much vaunted Prash haggling skills.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39I think he caved in there, don't you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42No, I think it was a tough cookie.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45This newlywed is standing by her man, Phil.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47But I think you can all be very pleased.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50With 20 minutes gone, that's your first item in the bag.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- I'm really pleased with that. First buy, what do you think?- Good buy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- Good buy.- Are you happy? What, do you mean "goodbye, goodbye", or "good buy"?- Good buy.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Don't go anywhere yet. You've only bought one thing.
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Meanwhile, Lorraine is finding some scales very appealing.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11What have you got? You've got your scales here, and
0:13:11 > 0:13:15you put your sack on that side, I assume, so you can weigh your scales.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17And you have all your weights on there.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19There's plenty of chippies out there who might want to
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- weigh their potatoes. - Would you use these in the shop?- No.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- For you potatoes?- We might weigh the staff.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Make sure they're not eating too much. - CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Simon isn't convinced.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32But I think I know who will have the final say here.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37How are those Reds getting on?
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- Look at this little fella. - Do you like that?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- Yeah, he's OK.- He's OK.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45He's not exactly filled full of enthusiasm.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, he's not exactly full of enthusiasm, is he?
0:13:47 > 0:13:49What about that poster over there?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51- The White Star Line one?- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54That looks interesting, doesn't it? What was White Star Line?
0:13:54 > 0:13:57It was quite a famous shipping line. I'm pretty sure it was Titanic.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58Really?
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Posters and stuff are quite trendy. Shall we go and have a look?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04- Yeah. Let's have a look. - Let's wander around this way.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I like this one, actually. - Oh! My life!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- You like it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14I was thinking... I thought you wouldn't see me over the top.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Is this a collectable, then? - Yes. Posters are sought-after.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20You can get film posters that make an absolute fortune.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24But advertising posters, likewise, can make a lot of money.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I would think this is, probably, early '60s.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30We both know who you have to persuade. Don't we, Phil?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Do you like this?- Yes. It's a yes. I do like it.- Not just a...hmm.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36But you like it?
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I like it a lot. I do. I do.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42So, it's got Yasmin's seal of approval.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44But will they buy it?
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Back with the Blues and has Lorraine convinced Simon
0:14:47 > 0:14:49it's worth investing in those scales?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- It's talking to me.- Is it?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Hang on. I'll go and have a chat. - You go and have a chat.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00See if you can get a good deal, Christina.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Back inside and the Reds are doing a deal on that poster.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- How much? What's your best price? - My very best on that is £60.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08£60.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I think that's a done deal. Thank you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Well done, Reds. You're really sailing along now.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19That's two items down. Now, how's Christina getting on?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Hey, guys, right.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24She says she'll do it for £40. She's got somebody else coming back.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- Right.- That is very interested.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I think we should have it for £40.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29She's not really moving on the price
0:15:29 > 0:15:31because she's probably got a guaranteed sale.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Right. I think I should take £40.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- There's something saying that we should have it.- There you go.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39You guys, two down. Go and get that deal done.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42I'm exhausted.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44She's the one! Put it there.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Whoa! I thought I was going to get in the middle of that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Halfway through the shop and both teams have two items.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Let's leave them hunting for their third
0:15:55 > 0:15:58while I show you something full of Eastern promise.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11Welcome to the world of Japanese miniature works of art.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15This little object here is termed a netsuke.
0:16:15 > 0:16:19They netsuke is no more, or less, than a toggle.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Tell me more, you ask.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Well, let me take you back to 18th or 19th-Century Japan
0:16:25 > 0:16:27and the traditional dress of the kimono.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29The kimono lacks pockets.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32So where do you keep your small change?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Well, if you're a lady,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36and you've got your lippy to hide somewhere,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39traditionally, small, little personal objects
0:16:39 > 0:16:41would be kept in the sleeves.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Gentleman, carrying, perhaps, their pipe case, their tobacco pouch,
0:16:45 > 0:16:47or their little medicine box, known as an inro,
0:16:47 > 0:16:49would employ the toggle.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52The netsuke. How does that work?
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Well, you get your little pouch, collectively known as a sagemono
0:16:55 > 0:17:00and if we have a little cord around the sagemono,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02back and into the netsuke.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06The netsuke can be tucked up and under the obi
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and there you have it.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12Many were carved in wood, or ivory, some were even ceramic.
0:17:12 > 0:17:17This little example is carved from walrus ivory. Walrus tusks.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20It depicts two gentlemen, the taller of whom
0:17:20 > 0:17:23is being supported by his diminutive little partner.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27And that little chap wears a very distinctive hairdo,
0:17:27 > 0:17:28known as a topknot.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31That was a status symbol in Imperial Japan,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34generally indicative of samurai status.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36The demise of the netsuke
0:17:36 > 0:17:40comes about following the Meiji Restoration of the 1860s.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44From that point, Japan opens up its borders to the West
0:17:44 > 0:17:48and, indeed, the Japanese start to adopt Western attire.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Of course, Western dress involves pockets.
0:17:51 > 0:17:55Rendering the poor old netsuke obsolete.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59However, the netsuke survived this little revolution
0:17:59 > 0:18:03because of its status as a work of art.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05If netsuke were simply plain old buttons
0:18:05 > 0:18:09or toggles like those on your duffle coat, they would be no more.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12They would have vanished and no-one would care,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14but because of their charm and sophistication,
0:18:14 > 0:18:20as little gems of art, they have endured in appeal.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Now, back to the specifics of this little chap.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28This was acquired in a general house clearance shop
0:18:28 > 0:18:30for less than £10.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35Believe it or not, its true value to a specialist,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38would comfortably be £250.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42Now, it goes to show, tiny little treasures like that
0:18:42 > 0:18:46still lurk in the least likely of places.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Back with our teams who've each bought two items,
0:19:00 > 0:19:05but there's only 20 minutes left and it seems pressure's getting to them.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08How long have you been married?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Er, about three months.- Rowing much?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Hmm.- Actually, it's been five months.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Oh-ho! Their first row is on television!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- What do you like about that? - I like the colours.
0:19:21 > 0:19:22Great colours, aren't they?
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Great colours but I'm gradually going off of it.- Oh!
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- I don't know why.- Does she normally change her mind this quickly?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31It was all going so swimmingly.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Come on, guys, you need to get one more item under your belt.
0:19:34 > 0:19:39- Phil, what do you think of this Titanic bag?- That's a lifebelt.- OK.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41If that was original off the Titanic, I would think it would be,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I don't know, 100,000-200,000.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Something like that. - Bit out of our price range.- It's...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54It looks like it's of that period, doesn't it?
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Excuse me, what's this?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00That's um... Early 20th-century life jacket.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05- Obviously a later edition there. - It's not really off the Titanic then?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07- It's not.- Damn.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Apparently made, reportedly, for the 1950s film.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Was that with Kenny More? - Kenny More.- Yeah, I know it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18- Well... And how much is that?- The very best one, that. It's £35.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19That's lovely.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Buy it or move on, team!
0:20:21 > 0:20:24There's only 15 minutes to go.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Over to the Blues and it looks like Simon's spotted something.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29What have you seen? Have you been looking at things?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- I daren't show you.- Why?- Um...
0:20:32 > 0:20:36- Is it dangerous?- No. Just a little salt-and-pepper shaker.- Aw!
0:20:36 > 0:20:38It's so sweet!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40That is the thing I would least expect you two go for.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- What do you love about it? - It just caught my eye.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47It's just unusual. The cartouches aren't marked, which is a bonus.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- Amazing!- Yes, you're absolutely right.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's hallmarked.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It's quite light.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57They are sweet, aren't they? Ideally, you'd want them in a little box.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- How much are they?- They're 75.
0:20:59 > 0:21:0075 for the pair, OK.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- There's no box? - There isn't one, no.- OK.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06I was asked to ask your opinion on these. You might know about them.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10- They're boleadoras, from Argentina. - Oh, stand back!
0:21:10 > 0:21:11THEY LAUGH
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- What if it comes off and you hit somebody?- Yeah, they are very old.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Don't do it too vigorously.- Don't swing them, babe.- So what do you do?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- You do that and they spin out... They should untangle.- Right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Then come out... So they go either way... Want one?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27And they wrap around the hooves of a cow or something and bring it down.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Then spin 'em.- Ah!- They wrap around your legs.- Oh, right.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32If it weren't so old, I'd tackle you down with them now.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Oh, well, that's... - OK, that's pleasant!
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That's the end of our Bargain Hunting career!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Christina, I think you need to herd them away
0:21:40 > 0:21:42before they do themselves an injury!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48What I was thinking was, that sewing machine
0:21:48 > 0:21:49that I saw earlier...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Seems Phil has spotted something he hopes will have
0:21:52 > 0:21:55victory all sewn up for the Reds.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Yeah, well, how old would you say this is?- 1880, 1890?
0:21:59 > 0:22:01- It's got...- Birmingham.- Yeah.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- Maxwell Agenoria Works.- Mmm.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07I quite like this design on the inside as well.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- What you've got is a piece of sculpture, isn't it, really?- Mmm.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- And I think now, we've only got...10-15 minutes left, so... - Yeah.
0:22:14 > 0:22:20..in my eyes, you either buy this or you buy the life belt.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25The choice of two items is not a bad place to be, Reds.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Back with the Blues and it's Simon's turn to choose the last item.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm still waiting for inspiration.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Still waiting for something to leap out at you?- Yeah.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38And he's struggling.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42This is a nice piece of engineering.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's...beautiful?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46HE LAUGHS
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- It's your choice.- I'm more drawn by the lamp.- By the lamp?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- The first...- The first lamp we saw? - Yeah.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- Really? Do you really love that lamp?- I don't know why.- He does, he keeps going on about it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59It appears nothing can compete with that lamp.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Perhaps Simon's hoping there's a genie inside.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Does it have to be that lamp?
0:23:04 > 0:23:10Er, no. The lamp, it just grabs my attention, rather like that.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16- Well, that is not a lamp. - No, but it's...
0:23:16 > 0:23:17I like the '50s kitsch style.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Do you know, actually, that's really quite clever, Simon,
0:23:22 > 0:23:26because if you... If you look at it, it is very kitsch
0:23:26 > 0:23:29and actually people are buying these to turn them into lamps.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- You wouldn't use it as a heater now, you just wouldn't. - No, no.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- I can see that in a modern sort of townhouse in...- Oh, yeah.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- In London somewhere, some groovy hipster.- Some groovy hipster?- Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Much like yourself, you groovy hipster!
0:23:43 > 0:23:47I mean, if it's £30-£50, I can see you making some money out of that.
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Yeah, yeah.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Go on, you groovy hipster, go and ask the price.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Simon, you need to get this heater for the right price.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Have you worked your magic, like you did on me?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- It didn't work very well.- Oh.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Um, £60 is the best they would do.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06There's only five minutes to go, what're you going to do, team?
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Is he a charming kind of guy?
0:24:07 > 0:24:11- No, he's not very good at that sort of thing.- No.- OK, I'll have a chat.- OK, thank you.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Go on, Christina. Work your magic!
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Meanwhile, it's decision time for the Reds.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21- What shall we buy? Sewing machine? - Yeah, sewing machine. - Sewing machine, yeah.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23There he is, you'll have to deal with it.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Right, you groovy kids, 55. - Yeah?- Wow.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30- What's the best price you can do for us?- I've got 55 on it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- Yeah.- But seeing it's the end of the day, 45.- 45?
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Could we maybe meet at sort of 40?
0:24:37 > 0:24:38Would that be doable?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40What's the plan?
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Let's do it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- Go on, then. That's fantastic, thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49- Did you get it?- £55.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52High five! Oh, you can't, you'll drop it.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53Tick-tock!
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Right, teams. Time's up!
0:24:55 > 0:24:58We've done really well, there, haven't we?
0:24:58 > 0:24:59THEY CHEER
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Well done. Well done! What a great shop.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Let's take a look at what the Red team's bought.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09First up, they navigated their way to this ship's compass,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11bought for £60.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Keeping the nautical theme going, the next item was this poster,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20also costing £60.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22And finally, Phil craftily convinced them
0:25:22 > 0:25:25to buy this Victorian sewing machine.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Price paid, just £40.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Yasmin, Prash, what was that like?
0:25:30 > 0:25:33- Oh, I think that was a brilliant day, a really good day out. - A lot of fun.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37And I think pretty much the division of responsibilities was stuck to?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Yeah, I think I stuck to the haggling,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42although I think you were crucial in haggling a bit.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- But...- You did well, you did well. - But, yeah, it was good.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- And we got some good items under our belt.- A good plan, well executed.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Prash, your favourite lot?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- Favourite lot for me has to be the nautical compass.- Yeah.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- The nautical compass, I've never seen anything like it before. It looked really good.- Great stuff.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Where's the biggest profit? Was it in the compass?
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- I think it's going to be in the poster.- OK.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Yasmin, favourite purchase? - I think it was the poster.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Big profit in that?- I hope so.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I think it's about the poster. I'm loving it.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- What was the total spend?- 160. - OK, healthy.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- So someone's got £130 worth of change for me.- I do. There you go.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- This is for my friend, Philip. - Thank you.- What're you going to do with that?
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Well, I think we need to go and find something that, if we need it,
0:26:24 > 0:26:25might just save us at auction.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Oh, a hedging tactic! Did you see that?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Man's a genius!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Well, while he's off being a genius,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34let's go and see what the Blues have bought.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38First up, they got off to a flying start with this milk churn,
0:26:38 > 0:26:39bought for £40.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Next, Lorraine had her heart set on these weighing scales,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47which also cost £40.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52And Simon finally had his say with this 1960s heater.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Price paid, £55.
0:26:55 > 0:27:00Simon, Lorraine, you were quick out the blocks, were you not?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Yes, no messing about with us. - Clearly not.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Simon, tell me about your purchases, your favourite thing?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09My favourite thing was the heater.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Is that where the profit lies, or elsewhere?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Um, no, I'm going to go with a small profit on milk urn.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Lorraine, is your hubby right?- No.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Of course he's not, he's a man.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I think we're going to make the most profit on the weighing scales.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29I wonder what the appeal was in the potato scales?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32- Oh, I wouldn't know. Chips, maybe? - Chips, mmm...
0:27:32 > 0:27:35There must be a link there somewhere, but it's lost on me.
0:27:35 > 0:27:36THEY LAUGH
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Now, tell me, what was your spend on these three treasures?
0:27:39 > 0:27:45- We've spent £135.- Yup.- OK, so you owe me, one way or another, £165.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- We do.- Who's got that? Thank you very much. There's a budget for you.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- What think you of that, Christina? - Why, thank you kindly, my love.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- There was a bit of long list of things that we didn't get for you, weren't there?- Yeah.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59So think I might maybe...
0:27:59 > 0:28:00..revisit one of those.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04Now, while Christina's off on her shopping travels, we're off to the auction.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18We have travelled from Peterborough to Lichfield
0:28:18 > 0:28:21and to Richard Winterton's Auction Room with Richard Winterton himself.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- How are you, Richard?- I'm very well and delighted to have you here, Paul.- Thank you very much.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Well, look at this offering from Yasmin and Prashant.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30What an interesting little trio we have.
0:28:30 > 0:28:35Certainly, the smell of the sea in the air with our binnacle compass.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- You rate it?- It's interesting.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Personally, it doesn't do a lot for me.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- I think if you lived on the coast or you have a kind of interest... - OK, yeah.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44..it's all good, because it's well weathered.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47What do you rate it at, pounds, shillings and pence-wise?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- We've gone £20-£25.- OK.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51The dealer would not budge.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53It had to be 60, it was 60.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Probably a bit cautious on my part on it. But I can see the appeal.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Fingers crossed.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Now, from there, we go to, well, an arguably iconic
0:29:02 > 0:29:04White Star Line poster.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- But any age to it?- No.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- Probably not done that long ago. - What can I say?
0:29:09 > 0:29:13It's individual A4 elements, pasted on a bit of...
0:29:13 > 0:29:16somebody has photocopied it and stuck it together.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Student's bedroom wall stuff. - It is, and that is. Again, that's probably where the market will be.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Someone will want it on their bedroom wall, you know.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- And hopefully it's the right money. - What are the numbers?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28We haven't actually put a guide on it, I'm really sorry!
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Which means it's under a tenner! - OK.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Prash and Yasmin both think this is where all their profits lie
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- and they paid £60 for it! So... - Oh, dear, Paul.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Oh...- I think we move on.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Shall we? Hastily!
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Now, we've left the sea
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and now we're in the parlour
0:29:45 > 0:29:48with the Victorian "cat-back" sewing machine.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50Tell me about it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- I think this could be a little sleeper.- Go on.- I do.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I think it's just got that look.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58I love the serpentine look on the top.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01And I just think that the sewing machine...out there boys
0:30:01 > 0:30:03that go and collect this sort of thing,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06I think they could just want to add this to their collection.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10OK. An uncommon... Jones, of course, are associated with the cat-backs.
0:30:10 > 0:30:11But this isn't.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15This is a lesser manufacturer, a rarer manufacturer, perhaps.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18The condition, the enamelling, the gilding.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Everything looks great about it.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22You've got it on the head there, really.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It is an unreal... small manufacturer.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28That is what they want, that little bit of difference, don't they?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- What are the numbers? - We've gone 40-60.- OK.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34And you are ever-cautious. So you're thinking it could do more than that.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37I think... Yes, with a little twist we could get up to double.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Fantastic. That is good news.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Prash and Yasmin paid £40 for that.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- They've done well.- Did we steal? - They've done OK.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Well, that's great news.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50If the sewing machine doesn't do it, they may require a bonus buy.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Let's go and see what Philip bought.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I just thought in case we ever got that sinking feeling...
0:30:57 > 0:30:59LAUGHTER
0:31:01 > 0:31:03As you know, we saw it. It was £35.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05And it's clearly not Titanic.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08If it was, it would probably be 300,000!
0:31:08 > 0:31:11I still like it. Phil, is there any mileage in this?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Do you know what, it's a gamble, isn't it?
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- It could make £40 or £50.- Very nice.- You don't have to decide now.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20We'll do that after your lots have sold at the auction.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23In the meantime, let's go and see if the auctioneer
0:31:23 > 0:31:26gets a sinking feeling over Phil's bonus buy.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Now, then, what can I say about this?- What CAN you say about this?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- It's a bit of fun.- I think you've got it. It's a bit of fun.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I think that's where... Yes, it's a bit of fun.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41As long as they haven't paid more than a tenner, we'll be OK.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Therein lies a problem. Philip paid £35 for that.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46Did he?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48He might need that life jacket!
0:31:48 > 0:31:50PAUL LAUGHS
0:31:50 > 0:31:51That's that for the Reds.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- And now to the Blues.- Hm.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Lorraine and Simon, well, they've got some stand-out pieces there,
0:31:59 > 0:32:00have they not?
0:32:00 > 0:32:04The first of which, our churn or barrel, call it what you will.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Little bit of bargeware. That's what it is.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08I think it's spot-on. Yeah.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Again, commercial piece.- Yeah. - More for the outdoor sort of look.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Again, people buy it. It's commercial. That's what it is.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- What do you price that at? - We've gone 30 to 40.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Spot-on. They paid £40. So we're in the right territory for sure.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23- Yeah, perfect.- OK. Now, the scales.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Holy Moses, the mother of all scales!
0:32:25 > 0:32:27What do you reckon?
0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Well, I love this sort of thing. - Yeah.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Again, it's the same theme. It's ready to go...to go outside.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33It's decorative.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37- What are the numbers? What are they weighing in at?- We've got 30 to 40.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Which again is in the right territory,
0:32:39 > 0:32:43because they paid 40, and you're cautious, so I think it bodes well.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47From the rustic to the downright trendy,
0:32:47 > 0:32:49what do you reckon to the heater?
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Love it.- Yeah? - It's modern, it's in. It's fresh.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It's right in the mode, what people are after at the moment.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- Yeah. In Lichfield? - Yes, in Lichfield.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01We're trendy in Lichfield! Yeah.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- And we've gone 20 to 30.- It's going to do more than that, we hope.
0:33:04 > 0:33:05It needs to. They paid £55,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08and it doesn't seem too much at that, does it?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- No, I think you're spot-on again. - Absolutely.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14They may not need a bonus buy, but nevertheless, let's see what it is.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17At the end of the day, you spent £135,
0:33:17 > 0:33:21leaving Christina £165 to invest wisely.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23What did you go and buy?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Well, I don't know whether I've invested wisely!
0:33:26 > 0:33:31However, I do feel that I've got something which you loved.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33- So I wanted to revisit that. - Ooh.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36My little friends!
0:33:36 > 0:33:37THEY LAUGH
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- Your little friends.- Lovely. - Do you like?- I do.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40I still like them.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43You loved them when we saw them the first time round, didn't you?
0:33:43 > 0:33:44You take one, you take one.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47So, William Devenport, who was a maker in Birmingham.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49And they're actually fully hallmarked on there
0:33:49 > 0:33:51for Birmingham 1907.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53I paid £50 for them.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Oh, OK.- That's all right. - I think that's OK.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57- You like that?- Yeah.- Very much so.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01I suspect you're on the verge of making a decision, but don't.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05Leave that until the auction of your lots.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08In the meantime, let's go and see if the auctioneer thinks
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Christina's pepperettes will spice up the Blues' profits.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15- Do you like the little condiments? - I do.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17And they've got a good look as well, aren't they?
0:34:17 > 0:34:19You know, and I had a look.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21You usually see these dented, don't you, and all that?
0:34:21 > 0:34:23But these are OK.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25The more I look at them, the more I like them.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27We've gone 30 to 40 on it, which, you know...
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's getting in the right direction.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32This is the pattern with the Blues' purchases.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Christina paid 50, which sounds like no money for a pair,
0:34:35 > 0:34:40a good pair, of atypical Edwardian pepperettes.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- I think we're not far away.- Well, are you taking the auction, Richard?
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- I am.- I feel we're in safe hands, and I'm looking forward to this one.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- Good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Is this familiar territory to you, the auction room?- I don't think so.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- No.- No, never.- Seriously?- Yeah.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03OK, folks, here is the compass now.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Good example. Lot 405. Commission bids are in at £20 bid.
0:35:06 > 0:35:085. 30. 5.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Off and running.- 40. 5. 45 with me.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1445 I'm bid. 45 I'm bid. 45.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18£50 front row. £50 here. £50 I'm bid.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20£50 I'm bid. £50 I'm bid.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24£50 on the front row. At £50. All done?
0:35:24 > 0:35:28All finished. Sold at 50.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32That isn't bad. £50. £10 loss.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You can take that on the chin.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Here's the poster.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39In your hands on this one. £10.
0:35:39 > 0:35:418. £10. 15.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45£20 at the back of the room. £20 I'm bid. £20. £20.
0:35:45 > 0:35:4925. £30. 35. £40.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5545. 45 there. 45. 45. £50. £60.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Here at £60.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01In here at 60. In here at 60.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04All done and finished at £60.
0:36:05 > 0:36:073909.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11I've got to say, when you disrespected the poster...
0:36:11 > 0:36:13THEY LAUGH
0:36:13 > 0:36:15407. A lot of interest on this one.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17The sewing machine. There's a lot of interest in this sewing machine.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Here it comes now.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21A lot of condition reports. Loads of bids on the book.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24I'm in at £70. At 80, 90,
0:36:24 > 0:36:29100, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 160.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32With me at 160. Internet come again. 170.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36170 with the internet. 180 with the internet.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37190 with the internet.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- What?!- 190 with the internet. - What?!- 190 with the internet.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44190 with the internet. 200, the internet.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- We've got this all sewn up! - £200 with the internet.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51200 with the internet. 200 bid. 210 bid, internet.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- It's nonstop yet! - 210 with the internet.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55210 with the internet.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02You coming again? No. Sold. 210.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04- Internet bid.- £210.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- That is... PHILIP:- Look at her little...!
0:37:08 > 0:37:12170 clear profit on one lot.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17- We've forgotten about... - 160... £160.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20I've got to say, you may have stitched this up!
0:37:20 > 0:37:22It's astonishing!
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- You don't need the bonus buy. - We don't need the life belt!- But...
0:37:25 > 0:37:27But it's there.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28What are you going to do?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Are you going to gamble some of this big profit?
0:37:31 > 0:37:32- Mmm... - THEY LAUGH
0:37:32 > 0:37:35- No.- I think we'll stay away from the life belt.- Yes.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37We'll stay away from the life jacket.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Moving now - lot 413.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41We're moving now to the life jacket.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Lot 413. Nothing on my book. - Nothing.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47In your hands.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49Where are you going to be? £10?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Bid.
0:37:51 > 0:37:5415. 20.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- Healthy increments.- £20 in the room.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- Yours at £20. - PHILIP:- I think it's sinking!
0:37:59 > 0:38:01£20?
0:38:01 > 0:38:05Upturn... Hammer's up. Sold at 20.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Yours, sir. 2290.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11You made the right call. You walked away.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- I think we dodged that iceberg! - Mind you...
0:38:13 > 0:38:18Not bad. 20 I think is probably more than might... £160.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Now, don't be counting any chickens before they're hatched.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24You never know how the Blues are going to do.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27And for sure, keep mum about it, OK?
0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Lorraine, Simon, how are you doing? - Excited.- Excited? Seriously?
0:38:42 > 0:38:46- A lot excited, a little excited? - A lot.- A lot?- This is it.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51We come to now the painted barge milk churn.
0:38:51 > 0:38:56I'm in at £40. £40 I'm bid. £45.
0:38:56 > 0:39:02£50. 60. £70 with me. £70 I'm bid.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- £70?- £70 I'm bid. £70 I'm bid.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09- We're all done. We are sold at 70.- Wow.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11- That is some result!- Yes!
0:39:11 > 0:39:132919.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Plus £30!
0:39:15 > 0:39:17What a result. Now, the scales.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19Now we go potato scales.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Again, great for the outdoors. Where are you going to be? Tenner?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- Tenner to go.- Come on, come on. - Ten.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- £10 bid.- This is a slow start. - 12.- Come on.
0:39:29 > 0:39:3314, 16, 18, 20, 22.
0:39:33 > 0:39:37- £22. Down here at £22.- Come on.
