0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, we're in Peterborough.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07In 1850, Great Northern Railway's main line
0:00:07 > 0:00:10from London to Peterborough transformed the town.
0:00:10 > 0:00:14The floodgates were open and soon it became a thriving industrial centre,
0:00:14 > 0:00:15all thanks to the railways.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Let's hope we have some fast-track teams aboard today.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23So, full steam ahead - let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53The East of England Showground at Peterborough, twice a year,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56holds host one of the largest antiques fairs in the UK
0:00:56 > 0:00:59so, with £300 and 60 minutes,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02our teams have got a lot of ground to cover,
0:01:02 > 0:01:04so let's see what's coming up.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10On today's show, the Reds are on the lookout for a bargain...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13What I can't do is see a profit in this. I see no ships.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Not in Peterborough, you won't.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19..and the Blues have coffee tables on their minds.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- A table. Maybe put some little legs on it.- Yeah.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24- Yeah, you can't...- A coffee table? - Yeah.- Coffee table?
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I'm going to ban you from saying the words "coffee table".
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Down at the auction, the Reds want more...
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Come on. Come on, internet. One more.
0:01:33 > 0:01:3460 in the room.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36'..and the only way is up for the Blues.'
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- Another one would be nice. Another one would be nice.- That's £30.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Well, that's all for later, so let's meet today's teams.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Today we have mothers who have each brought along their daughter,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51and for the Reds, we have Joy and Emma,
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and for the Blues, we've got Julie and Sarah.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- Hello!- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Now, Joy, you're recently retired.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- I am, yes.- I envy you that. Tell me more. How is that going for you?
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Fantastic. I love it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I don't know how I found time to go to work, to be honest.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- I do a couple of mornings a week in a charity shop. I volunteer.- Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- That's a lot of fun. You have a lot of laughs in there.- Right.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13And I do a creative writing course.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Now, I understand you're a wee bit of a collector?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17I am. I used to collect glass jugs.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Yeah, and they kept breaking, so I've moved on.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I now collect tins.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Initially, I started, I bought two tins - 50p each.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Any early ones?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Unfortunately, no. I'm on the lookout.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Now, Emma, you run your own travel business, yeah?
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Yeah, I do, yeah. I've been running my own travel business
0:02:32 > 0:02:33- for about four years now.- Yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36I specialise in long-haul and luxury holidays.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I do a lot of honeymoons and weddings
0:02:38 > 0:02:41- and I also do business travel. - Very good.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42You must be a traveller yourself?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Oh, I love to travel. Yeah.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45One of my favourite places is Bermuda.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49As a travel agent, I can tell you that it's one of those few places
0:02:49 > 0:02:52that it is more beautiful than the brochures give it credit for.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Now, tactics. I mean, do you think you're going to work well together?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I think we'll work well together.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Emma's good at the haggling business and I'll be looking it out.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04I'll be reining Mum in when she gets a bit overexcited.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07You're going to have fun. I can tell. I like your style.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- Now, over to the Blues. Sarah, now...- Hello.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12..I envy your academic background.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You studied archaeology, did you not, at uni?
0:03:14 > 0:03:15Yeah, yeah, I did had, yeah.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17It was very interesting. It was really good.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Any big discoveries on digs, Sarah?
0:03:19 > 0:03:25I did have a big discovery but I also destroyed it.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- I...- What?
0:03:27 > 0:03:31It was one of my very first digs and it was a Saxon site.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33All of a sudden, I was like "clunk".
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I was like, "Oh, what's that?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37"Oh, my goodness!"
0:03:37 > 0:03:41A pot - a very, very old half a pot,
0:03:41 > 0:03:43with a really nice, clean break -
0:03:43 > 0:03:45fresh break - all the way through it.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49It was a nearly-whole Saxon wine flagon.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51I was devastated.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56It was, like, probably the best and the worst moment of my entire life.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Calamitous and wonderful in equal measure.- It was. It was. Yeah.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Now, Julie, I believe you're a bit of a fan of Bargain Hunt?- Hello.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yes. I tend to see what...
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- goes for quite a bit of profit and what doesn't...- Right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11..so I've been making notes over the last few weeks.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- Making notes? Mental notes? - Mental notes, yeah.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Tell me you don't sit there with a clipboard and a pen.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- No. Oh, no, no, no, no. - What do you do for a living, Julie?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I work part-time as a teaching assistant.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24OK, now, both of you, tactics?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Do you have any and how good a team are you going to be?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Well, our main aim is not the money, OK?
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Our main aim is to get that golden gavel.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Right.- A bit of money would be nice.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Yeah, yeah, a little bit. The main...
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- We, we, we want that... We want that prize.- Oh, yes, absolutely.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46We want that golden pin, to pin to our chests, you know? That's what...
0:04:46 > 0:04:48So our main tactic is to buy as cheap as possible.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- Buy cheap.- Yes, buy small. - Buy small, buy cheap.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Well, I wish you both luck.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Now, the money moment.
0:04:54 > 0:05:00- I've got £300 for the Reds. - Money, money.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02- Thank you.- There you go. Here's your 300.- Thank you.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Go and spend it wisely. Your experts await.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Off you go, and the very best of luck.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I live in fear that they stumble across a jug,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15because Joy could buy it or Sarah could smash it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20So, which of our experts will be helping our teams today?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Flying the flag for the Reds, it's Phil Serrell...- Whoa!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30..and hoping to have a roaring success with the Blues,
0:05:30 > 0:05:31it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35So, what are we looking for today?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Toys.- Toys? - Toys in their original boxes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Teddy bears.- Boxes, teddy bears...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Well, I quite like Staffordshire dogs.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I quite like those, and slate clocks, maybe.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46- Wacky and wild. Something wacky and wild.- She's barking, isn't she?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- What about you, Sarah?- I think anything that can be upcycled.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Maybe something silver,
0:05:51 > 0:05:55but I also love travel, so something travel-related.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Time to be on the lookout, teams.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Time starts now.- Come on!- Yay! - WHISTLE BLOWS
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- All right, let's go Bargain Hunting. Come on.- What would you like to buy?
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- OK, let's have a look.- Not that fast. Just, you know, I mean...
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- I just want a gentle pace. - Let's have a look
0:06:10 > 0:06:11and see what they've got.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14You're on the clock, remember, Phil.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- Look at all these wonderful things. - Oh, gosh.- Wow.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19What do you think?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21So, straight away, are the Blues on the right track?
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- So, girls, here's some toys. Lots of them.- Oh, good.- Lovely, aren't they?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Yeah.- Great in their original boxes, as well.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I quite like, sort of... Yeah, that one. That's lovely, isn't it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Look at that. That's splendid. "Hornby Dublo Tank Locomotive".
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- What have we got on that? - Good price.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Yeah.- We've got the £70 and we've got £5.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38I thought it was the £5.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- £5 would be good.- Yeah.- No chance.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43It's worth a try, Christina.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45We need to remember, girls. I mean, what's our...?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Are we going to spend big or spend small? Cos this has got...
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- But the price... - It's a beautiful thing
0:06:50 > 0:06:51and the price is reflected in that.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Yes, yes.- Obviously, it's not everything going for it.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56You could do it for 60? We've only just started.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58It's the first thing that we've looked at,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- so why don't we bear it in mind and keep going?- Yes. Yeah.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- What do you think? - OK.- We can always come back for it.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Yes, yes. - Don't buy the first thing you see.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- DOG BARKS - No, no.- And that dog agrees.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13It's early days, Blues. Move on.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Now, what have the Reds spotted?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- What? What's this?- Do you like that? - Mum, do you like it?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Well, it's OK. It's a blast from the past, isn't it? Comptometers.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I don't know. I've never seen it before. Not from my past, it isn't.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- I've never seen one of these before in my life.- No. Let's have a word...
0:07:29 > 0:07:31- Excuse me, good sir. - That's your early laptop.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- This is a calculator, is it? - It is, yes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:39So, could you multiply 479 by 83?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- 17,624.- He's good, isn't he? - Good grief.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- I tell you what, we don't need that. - It's wrong.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- You don't need that. - How much are you?
0:07:47 > 0:07:48You should have used the comptometer -
0:07:48 > 0:07:52It's actually 39,757.
0:07:52 > 0:07:53How does it actually work?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55You add up by pressing the keys
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and then use the handle to clear the additional numbers on here.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Oh, right, I see. - So, this shows the totals.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- It's a cool thing, that, isn't it?- Yeah.- It is.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- But would anyone buy it?- Yeah.- Made in Chicago in probably about 1920s.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10It might have been used somewhere like Sears Roebuck
0:08:10 > 0:08:11- or a big mail-order company.- Right.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Lots of people sitting in a row,
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- doing their accounts. - All with one of those.- Yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- Do you like this? - I really like it. I really do.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- It's unusual and that's what appeals to me.- Does it work?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24- It does, yeah. - What's the absolute death on that?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I can do that for £35 for you today, sir.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I think that's going to make between £30 and £50, all day long,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33and don't ask me why I think that, because I haven't got a clue,
0:08:33 > 0:08:34but it's a bit of good fun.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Shall we do it, then? - I think we should buy it.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- OK, it's a deal. - Thank you very much.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It's a pleasure. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's starting to add up for the Reds -
0:08:43 > 0:08:45a £10 discount for their first item
0:08:45 > 0:08:47with ten minutes on the clock -
0:08:47 > 0:08:49so, Blues, you need to hop to it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51We've got a little pyjama case here.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Right, looking at the eyes, there, he looks like a 1950s-1960s example.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- And with what you said, initially, looking for teddy bears.- Yes.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02When you're looking for teddy bears, collectors want names.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Yes, yeah.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07In England, the best company that you want to look for is,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10and I think we've got a nice label here - we've got Merrythought,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12which is made in my home county,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- so I'm particularly proud of them. - Is it?- Oh!
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- "Merrythought, Ironbridge, Shropshire."- How much is it?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- It's got £38 on it.- 38. If we...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Cos, you've also got... You've got a blue...
0:09:23 > 0:09:25And a replaced blue ribbon, obviously,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- around the neck, there. - Right, yes, yes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- And it's missing some whiskers.- Oh.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- But it's very sweet. - Yes, and he is, you know,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34in quite good condition, considering...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Exactly, and... - So, the original zip and...?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Certainly looks like it.- Yeah.- Yeah. - Yeah, it certainly looks like it,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and the original lining, everything there,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- so lovely thing.- OK.- Right, so... - The original bubble-wrap.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46Shall we make an offer? Shall we ask?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- I think he ticks your toy boxes, doesn't he?- Yeah, he does.- Yeah.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51The price mark I've got on it?
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- It's 38.- Right. - Would you do it for 25?
0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Yeah, I'll do 25. - No, hang on a minute, what? What?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- Too late!- Whoa!
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Hold on, Sarah. You're like a rabbit caught in headlights.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Would you be open to offers?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Open to offers? Yes. - Open to offers, super.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Right, go for it, go for it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13£10. £10? No.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- 12?- What would be...? - 12? Please?
0:10:17 > 0:10:2015 is the lowest I could go.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22- 14?- Oh, gosh, she's good, isn't he?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- Go on, then, 14.- Thank you so much. What do you think, girls?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- Yes, I think, 14, good.- Shake the lady's hand. You have a deal.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30- Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- Thank you so much. That's really kind, thank you.- Thank you.- Great.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Well done, Blues. Let's hope it makes a thumping profit at auction.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Now, are the Reds hoping for the same
0:10:40 > 0:10:43with this sewing machine at £160?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's an industrial sewing machine, isn't it? Singer?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Well, I think they call them long-arm sewing machines,
0:10:48 > 0:10:52- because the idea is that you can get something over this arm.- Oh, right.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- So, whether it's for stitching up boots...- But I like it.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Who would buy something like this at an auction?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- My mum?- Yeah, your mum, yeah.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And the thing is, you know, old sewing machines used to be...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06No-one wanted them but they are becoming more and more
0:11:06 > 0:11:10and more collectable. What's it worth? I don't know.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- I would kind of think it's worth £50-£80 but I don't know.- Right.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- Well, shall we find out? Right. - OK. Let's go.- Excuse me.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Your sewing machine.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- Yeah.- What's the very, very best you can do on it?
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Oh, £300.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Oh, my.- Really?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, £90. I can't go any less than that.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- £90. - Yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27£90? Let's see what Phil says. Phil?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- I'm here, I'm here.- He's here. He's come running round.
0:11:30 > 0:11:31What do you think it is?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I know what it is. It's a cobbler's sewing machine.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- It's a Singer one.- Yeah. - It was manufactured about 1895.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39It's got what's known as a walking foot, and if you turn...
0:11:39 > 0:11:41- I've got two of those. - I know you have.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I think, if you have a bad day, it's 50 quid.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46If you have a good day, it might be 150 quid.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- I'd tell you what I'd like us to do, if we can.- Yeah?
0:11:49 > 0:11:51Could you hang onto that for us for an hour.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52Fine. No problem.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- You're a gentleman. - Thank you very much.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- That's a really good idea. - It is nice. I like it.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Move on, then, Reds.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Do the Blues have some divine inspiration?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05That's rather fab, isn't it? Probably a Bible box, that one.
0:12:05 > 0:12:06It's got 135 on it, girls,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- and it's beautiful. It's actually carved oak on there.- Wow.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10You can see that wonderful carving
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- and those amazing hinges there are fabulous.- I personally love it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:14- Yeah?- I would have it
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- but I don't think it's got a huge wide appeal.- No?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18To everyone? Yeah, it's quite...
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You have to have the certain look in your house
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- to have this in your house.- OK.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25And, also, you can't use it, like, for a coffee table.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - No, I don't think we can...
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- Come on, then, let's move on.- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It doesn't pass the coffee table test.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36Now, could these signs be up Joy's street?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- What is it?- Joy.- Yeah?- Don't look.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Don't look.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- Emma, your mum collects biscuit tins, doesn't she?- She does.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47- Yes.- Right, don't look. I have never seen anything like these.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Look at those. What do you think?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- What's she going to like to those? - She's going to love them.- Is she?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Well, looking, this side, they're a bit rusty.- Really?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58Well, you won't get many biscuits in there. Oh, wow.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Oh, "biscuts"?- Yeah.- Not biscuits.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- I hadn't noticed that. - No, I hadn't and I don't want to.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I've spoken into the dealer. He bought these for £50 for two,
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- and he'll take a tenner profit, so he wants £60 for them.- Wow.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- I just...- I think it's a bit too pricey, honestly.- Do you?
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- Yeah.- I just, I'm not sure because I'm not sure who would buy them.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20A biscuit tin collector. If you're a biscuit tin collector?
0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Like you, Mum.- Sorry, I'll say that one more time.- Yeah, but...
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- If you're a biscuit tin collector... - But I'd only pay £5.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27Yeah, but you're mean, aren't you?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- You are mean. - Don't you want to pay a fiver?
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Oh, crumbs!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think our biscuit tin collector
0:13:32 > 0:13:35thinks you're taking the biscuit, Phil.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Now, Blues, this looks like an unusual music box.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- I can't figure out what it's playing.- Oh, hang on.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- MUSIC BOX JINGLES - # Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo. #
0:13:44 > 0:13:48- Oh, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. - Smoke Gets In Your Eyes!
0:13:48 > 0:13:53# Smoke gets in your eyes... #
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- Smoke gets in the eyes of the Blue team.- That's unusual tune for a...
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- A child's music box?- That's a pew.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- You'd think it would be a nice hymn or something.- Yeah, a hymn or...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03# Bread of heaven. #
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- You get some nice, rousing hymns, don't you?- Yeah.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- Smoke Gets In Your Eyes. - Oh. Oh, well.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12Well, don't let the smoke get in your eyes, Blues. Just focus.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14So, what's next, Reds?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Something a bit travel-related. - Yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- I like that telescope. - Do you? Why do you like that?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I just like the look of it. It caught my eye as we walked past.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Right, I'm really mean, here, right.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Really mean, cos the first thing I do is look at the price.- OK?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29And this chap's asking 175 for it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31It's going to knock a hole in the budget, isn't it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:34What I can't do is see a profit in this. I see no ships.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37- Not in Peterborough, you won't. - That's very good.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40No ships and no profit.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42You'd best sail on, Reds.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, whilst time's ticking on the shopping,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I'm keeping a close eye on the time, myself.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55What have you there, Paul, you ask?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Well, we have, in my opinion,
0:14:58 > 0:15:01what I consider an extremely fine
0:15:01 > 0:15:04George III silver pear-cased verge pocket watch.
0:15:06 > 0:15:11When I turn it over and I do that, and show you an extremely fine
0:15:11 > 0:15:16Repousse watch rococo-influenced back and you go, I hope,
0:15:16 > 0:15:21"Wow! That is exquisite."
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I may surprise you at this juncture by saying this story
0:15:24 > 0:15:28isn't about the watch, it's actually about this object here
0:15:28 > 0:15:31at the other end of the chain.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34So you may wonder why I'm now presenting you with what looks
0:15:34 > 0:15:38for all the world like some old limit fishing weight.
0:15:39 > 0:15:45Well, I shall now turn the silver mount around and reveal to you
0:15:45 > 0:15:49an engraving which reads, Waterloo, 1815.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Waterloo was the battle at which Wellington, Blucher, et al
0:15:54 > 0:15:58finally defeated Napoleon himself.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59CANNON FIRES
0:15:59 > 0:16:01BATTLE SOUNDS
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Is it perhaps the most famous and important battle
0:16:04 > 0:16:05in European history?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Now we see the import of this little object.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Of course, it's not a fishing weight, is it?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16This is a musket or pistol shot from that momentous battle
0:16:16 > 0:16:22presented, rather nicely, in silver and is a watch fob.
0:16:22 > 0:16:23This piece beggars the question,
0:16:23 > 0:16:28under what circumstances was this shot recovered?
0:16:28 > 0:16:34Now, after the battle, Waterloo became and instantaneous tourist
0:16:34 > 0:16:39destination of choice and on the back of tourists, what do we get?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41We get tourists' souvenirs.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I think it's entirely likely this particular shot was recovered
0:16:45 > 0:16:50at the battlefield of Waterloo, 1815.
0:16:50 > 0:16:56Never mind the watch, the fob on its own was found on an online
0:16:56 > 0:17:01general auction and purchased for all of £120.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05But given this fantastic and fascinating provenance,
0:17:05 > 0:17:09at a specialist sale of Waterloo memorabilia,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12that's worth £300 or £400 of anyone's money.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Back to it! We're over halfway through and it's one apiece.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27So, Blues, what's next?
0:17:27 > 0:17:30What have we got? So, we've got £49 on that.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Obviously an old crate.- Yes.
0:17:32 > 0:17:37And it's got Leslie Gardner Ltd, 23 Kings College Road, London.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40I would suggest probably the crates with their branding
0:17:40 > 0:17:42might have more appeal.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I think the big one.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Uh-oh! Let me guess...
0:17:46 > 0:17:48A coffee table?
0:17:48 > 0:17:52That can actually be used to make into a coffee table.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Oh!
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Coffee table!
0:17:55 > 0:17:56Coffee table?!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59I'm going to ban you from saying the words "coffee table".
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I think you should have been on Philip Serrell's team.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03Oh, dear!
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Speaking of Phil' team, how are they doing?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- We've got 20 minutes left.- Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11- Do you want to go and buy that sewing machine now?- Shall we do it?
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Yes.- And then we know we've got it. - Do you remember where it is?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17- I'll find it.- OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Go on, then. - OK.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Off you go, Reds.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Now, are these crates still stacking up for the Blues?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27My girls are interested, potentially, in buying one of these.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- The small one.- You prefer...? - There's a bit of damage on that one.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33OK. People use them now as vegetable stores in their kitchens,
0:18:33 > 0:18:35things like that, to add to the vintage home,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37but, originally, they were used just as boxes that,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41literally, would have been thrown away. They were utilitarian items.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43- Now, we regard them as things of beauty.- Yes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- So...- Yes.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47You're interested in that one, are you, girls?
0:18:47 > 0:18:48BOTH: Yes.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Is there any negotiation on the price on that one?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53The best I could do would be 38.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55All right. What do you think, girls?
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- I think we should.- OK.- Do you want to go for it?- I think it might...
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- I think it would sell, definitely. - Yes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- Is there any more that could come off that price?- Please!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Pretty, pretty, pretty please!
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- 35.- 35.- That is the very bottom.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- What do you think, girls? - Yes, yes.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Shake the man's hand and say thank you very much.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- Thank you very much.- Thanks.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18- We could put legs on it.- Most people turn them into coffee tables.
0:19:18 > 0:19:19No!
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- Stop it!- Thank you for that. Any little legs we could put on it?
0:19:23 > 0:19:24No, unfortunately.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Coffee tables aside... This way, girls. Thank you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Hats off to you, Blues.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Item number two in the bag with just under 40 minutes on the clock.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- So, Reds, have you tracked down the Singer sewing machine?- Look!
0:19:40 > 0:19:42- I do like it. What do you think?- Yeah.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- We've only got 20 minutes left. - Let's bite the bullet.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- Go on, then.- Actually, Reds, more like 15 minutes.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- What's your best price? - Is £90.- That's your very best?
0:19:52 > 0:19:56- Yes, it is, unfortunately. - Ah, what do you think, Mum?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- In that case, it's a deal. - You're a star. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Item number two sewn up for the Reds.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Just over ten minutes left. So, Phil, what's next?
0:20:05 > 0:20:07What I would love to do now is but something for Emma,
0:20:07 > 0:20:10something that has just got that little bit of a travel
0:20:10 > 0:20:13connotation to it, so I'll go see what I can find, then.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16What about you, Christina? Maybe a coffee table?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18I'm a little bit concerned.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22There doesn't seem to be kind of a decisive decision-making
0:20:22 > 0:20:25process, so it feels like I'm sort of trying to make them
0:20:25 > 0:20:27make a decision, but we will get there.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29It's all right, I have faith in my girls.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Now is not the time to have a wobble, Blues.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- What are you looking at, girls? - The jelly mould.- A jelly mould.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40A French copper jelly mould. What is it that you like about that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44The history behind it. And obviously everyone is into cooking at the moment.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48It's got £18 on it. What could be your best price on that?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51My best, best, best price to you girls,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- because I know you are in a competition, £12.- £12.- That's quite good.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58That's potentially something we could come back to.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03- All right, splendid.- At £12, I'd bear that jelly mould in mind, Blues.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- So will this tick a box for the Reds?- What about this?
0:21:06 > 0:21:09- Oh, that is nice.- Do you like that? - I think that is really nice.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14- I like the look of it.- So this... It is a leather trimmed canvas.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I think this is probably for a hat or something like that.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19You've got a bit of damage there, which is a bit of a problem.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21It belonged to G. Perhaps it was King George.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- You never know. - It will be when we finish with it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27It's just a good decorator's lot, isn't it? I quite like it.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- What do you think?- I quite like it. - Quite?!- I do like it.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34- Quite?!- I LOVE it.- There you are, you see?
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- I think we need to get it for a lot less than 95.- Two questions here.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42- What would you pay for it?- OK. I would pay £90 for it.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- And what would you let her pay for it?- 60.- OK.- Ah!
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Work your magic on the price, Phil. There's just under ten minutes left.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Time is of the essence, ladies, so let's get looking,
0:21:54 > 0:21:55let's get looking.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59It looks like the Blues have spotted another jelly mould.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- I like the tier one at the back. - This one here?
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Beautiful. Look at that.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- What a stunner. That's a work of art in itself.- It is beautiful, isn't it?
0:22:09 > 0:22:10So, made of copper.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Obviously you've got the three tiers,
0:22:12 > 0:22:14or even four tiers there in fact.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16I mean, gracing any fine dinner party,
0:22:16 > 0:22:18that would have been quite splendid, wouldn't it?
0:22:18 > 0:22:21I think that would have quite universal appeal
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- because it's what I would consider is the classic shape.- For a jelly.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- For a jelly.- And I would say it is probably Victorian or Edwardian.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32What does that say? It says, "Copper jelly mould with three levels height.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36"Victorian-Edwardian." It's got £165 on it, girls.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- Oh.- Gosh.- Well, hmm...- Crikey, Blues.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- Remember, the other jelly mould only cost £12.- We could afford it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45We could afford it, yes.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49At auction, they are quite a niche collector's area.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I think we should risk it. As we've still got quite a lot left.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Sir, could we ask you, what could be your best price on this jelly mould?
0:22:56 > 0:23:01- Do 142, and that's the bottom.- Could you do it for 140 flat?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03OK. Done.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- Is that what you really, really want?- I really, really want it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- You really, really want it. £140. - I'm happy.- I bet you're happy.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13THEY LAUGH
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Brilliant. Right, that's it, team, well done.- Woo!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18We are done. Fantastic.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Wobble, wobble, wobble. - That's it.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23That's all your jelly on a plate.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Job done with just four minutes to spare.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Time is ticking, Reds, so don't keep us in suspense, Phil.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Have you got a good price for the travel case?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- What did you say you wanted to pay for it?- I said I would pay £90.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38- And what did you say she said pay for it?- £60.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- 60.- OK. Can we have it for 60?- 60.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Yay!
0:23:43 > 0:23:44BELL RINGS
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- Time for tea. Time's up. - All right, well done, you.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- And we've got three minutes left to go have a cup of coffee. Come on. - Fantastic.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Let's take a look at what the Red team have bought.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59First up, hoping the figures stack up at auction,
0:23:59 > 0:24:03they bought this comptometer for £35.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Next, for £90, will this Singer sewing machine run them up
0:24:06 > 0:24:08a nice profit?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11And finally, will they be stitched up with this travel box?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13£60 paid.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- Joy, Emma and Phil, you visions in red.- Oh!
0:24:17 > 0:24:21That appeared to be rather a sedate, civilised affair, was it not?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- It was a lot of fun. - Yeah. It was brilliant.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29- You bought an adding machine to clock up your profits.- We did. Hopefully.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30There's no minus button on it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32THEY LAUGH
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I like that.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- So, tell me, Mum, your favourite buy.- I think the sewing machine.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Is their profit in the sewing machine?- I'm not sure.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46- I think it might be the comptometer. - OK.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Emma, tell me, your favourite purchase.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- I think it's got to be the travel trunk.- And profit in it?
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Um, I hope so, yes. I think we got it for a good price,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58so I'm hoping we might be in for a profit.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01- The total spend on this smorgasbord? - 185.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- OK, healthy, so you owe me £115, someone.- I have it.- There you go.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10Look at that. And over to the trustee, Philip Serrell.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14- What are you going to do with that, then?- I'm going to try and find something that meets with
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- the seal of approval with these girls.- Sounds like a good idea.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Now, let's go see what the Blues have bought.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24First up, they pulled this rabbit out of the hat and paid £14.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29They hopped on and invested £35 in this wooden crate,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31or should I say coffee table?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34And finally, will their profit wobble with this jelly mould?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36£140 paid.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40Julie, Sarah, what happened to the "we are going to be judicious
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- "and cautious" tactic?- Um, sort of went out the window, really.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46From the first five minutes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Tell me, then... I was just going to wave goodbye to your plans...
0:25:50 > 0:25:53THEY LAUGH ..just over there.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Julie, your favourite lot. - I liked the crate.- OK.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Are we well enough to make the most profit,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02- or does something else get that title?- Possibly, yes.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Does Daughter agree with Mum?
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- I agree that the crate will probably make the most profit.- OK, but?
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- But my favourite has to be the jelly mould.- No!
0:26:12 > 0:26:13THEY LAUGH
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'm just going to assume this position.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19It is awesome. It is an awesome jetty mould.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It was a good buy!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23We are going to insist that the auctioneer catalogues it
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- as an "awesome jelly mould".- Yes!
0:26:26 > 0:26:29How much did the awesome assemblage cost?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33We got it down from 165 to 140.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Just for... For everything?
0:26:35 > 0:26:40- No, just for the jelly mould. - OK. For everything?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43189, altogether.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48So you owe me, one way or another, £111. OK.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50HE LAUGHS Thank you very much.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56I'm going to entrust the wonderful Christina Trevanion,
0:26:56 > 0:27:01the awesome, the awesome Christina Trevanion with 111. Any plans?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- Well, we didn't get your box toy, did we?- No.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- And I've got plenty to splash. - A nice coffee table.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09THEY LAUGH
0:27:09 > 0:27:11No more coffee tables...ever!
0:27:11 > 0:27:14While Christina goes off to invest wisely, we are
0:27:14 > 0:27:16off to Lichfield to the auction.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well, today we are at Richard Winterton's auction
0:27:28 > 0:27:31rooms at Lichfield, with auctioneer Richard Winterton himself.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- How are you?- I'm very well, thank you. And welcome.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Thank you very much. Look at this offering for the Reds.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Joy and Emma bought some statement pieces, did they not?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Not the least of which, I guess, is our comptometer.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- What do you make of that? - Interesting.- And a good example...
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- It looks very smart to me, very presentable.- That is all there.
0:27:48 > 0:27:50Which is a good plus, it is good.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54And these surely are the objects that will be collected
0:27:54 > 0:27:57in the future, as we have entered the digital age.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00This is essentially entry-level computing, is it not?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I think you've got it bang on there.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Have you done the sums, have you added up the numbers?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07- What's it worth? - We've gone 15 to 20.- OK.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well, that looks a wee bit of a challenge.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11They paid 35, which is not a lot of money.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- I think we should be there or thereabouts.- Good stuff.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18From one piece of computing technology to the mother
0:28:18 > 0:28:22of all mechanical sewing machines. What do you think of that brute?
0:28:22 > 0:28:25It is a brute, but it is shouting history at you.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I would have thought it's... What do you think, shoes, are we going shoes?
0:28:28 > 0:28:34- Leather working, is that where we are with this?- Yeah.- Oversized, strong.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Love this big horizontal beam above.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40I mean, it is a joy of a piece of engineering...and casting.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43We see its merit. Do we see value in it?
0:28:43 > 0:28:45There are people out there who collect sewing machines,
0:28:45 > 0:28:49and there's a really strong market. We've gone 20 to 25.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52It could make a touch more. I've got the history there, so...
0:28:52 > 0:28:56OK, it needs more than history, it needs legs under the hammer.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Because they paid £90 for that.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00I can't see us getting to the 90, I have to say.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I'm not surprised they paid the 90, but we will have to see on the day.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Fingers crossed.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09Well, then, from these big metallic brutes to a fine
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- piece of vintage lockage. What do you think of that, Richard?- Love it.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14I love it, and it is in at the moment,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- isn't it?- Isn't it just?- It is right in there. It's got some...
0:29:17 > 0:29:19The leather on it, it's got everything about it, it is
0:29:19 > 0:29:22a bit rubbed, I know, but that wouldn't take much to bring back.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Bang on trend with luggage.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27Emma thinks that's the one with the profit in it. The moment of truth.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Where are you pitching this? - We've gone 40 to 50.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33- It is nudging in the right direction. They paid 60.- Great.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35So we are in the right ballpark, are we not?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Emma could be right.- Perfect.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Well, they may or may not need their bonus buy.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42I suspect they may with the sewing machine.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Let's go see what Phil has pulled out of the hat.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50- Joy, Emma, this is exciting stuff, is it not?- Fantastic.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54You left Phil £115. Phil, what did you invest that in?
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Well, I spent all of it.- Get in. - £115.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- And I bought these little seals, look.- Oh.- I'm going to show you one.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Oh, wow, I like those. - That is the best one, I think, which is Blue John.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Oh, that is lovely.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12- And I think two of them might be...MIGHT be gold.- When you say seals...
0:30:12 > 0:30:14They would have been on the end of a watch chain.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I think they are worth between £30 and £50 each.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20- What do you think they will make at the auction? - I would be bitterly disappointed
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- if they didn't make the thick end of £150.- Right.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Ask Phil why he has singled out the Blue John matrix.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Yes, why did you?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32Blue John is hugely, hugely collectable.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37- Probably worth... Well, I won't say worth more than gold, but not too far behind.- So, it is a valuable...
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Yes, very, very much so.- Flavour of the moment.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44So, you don't have to decide on the fob seals now,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47we have to wait until your lots have sold.
0:30:47 > 0:30:51But in the meantime, let's see if the auctioneer thinks Phil's
0:30:51 > 0:30:54fobs will seal the deal for the Reds.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Well, our man Mr Serrell craftily acquired not one,
0:31:00 > 0:31:05but four 19th-century fob seals, including a Blue John example.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08- Do you like?- I do, now you have shown me the Blue John.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12But as a collective lot together, I'm hoping he's bought them quite well.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14OK. Well, it remains to be seen, Richard.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16You tell me, what do you think of them?
0:31:16 > 0:31:20We've gone £20 each, we've gone at 50, 60-ish, somewhere around there.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23OK. Well, they maybe need to do closer to £30 a pop
0:31:23 > 0:31:25because £115 was paid.
0:31:25 > 0:31:30But perhaps the fact we do have Derbyshire Blue John, it is such a
0:31:30 > 0:31:33striking mineral, and there seems to be a feeding frenzy around it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Maybe therein lies salvation.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39I think you are probably right, because that could be worth 60, £70 on its own.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Now, over to the Blues with Sarah and Julie.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- What do you think of little pyjama case?- It's got likeable value.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49It's got a good name attached to it. Good character, good manufacturer.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Shirley liked it. Is she going to like your estimate?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- We've gone 25 to 30. - Absolutely fantastic!
0:31:55 > 0:31:59- They snapped it up for £14. - A good buy!- We are off and flying.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- Now, the antidote to the plush toy, the wooden crate.- It's good.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Again, in at the moment. People are using them.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Me, personally, I like that sort of thing.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Very sad. I don't mind admitting I do like them.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17We've gone 20-25, and again I would expect a tad more than that.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20A tad more than that. They paid £35.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Again, spot-on with the estimate, spot-on with what they bought.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Happy with that.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Sarah and Julie love this as much as you clearly do
0:32:27 > 0:32:30and they think this is where their profits lie.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Well, looks like we're on a roll.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35- The copper jelly mould - how much you like that?- It's lovely.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37I love these jelly moulds.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I love the copper, I love that look about it.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42A little bit extra with this - it's got that little step.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45You see that little step going up there. It goes into the three.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50The only slight downer, is got quite a bit of damage to it,
0:32:50 > 0:32:52which ruins it for that serious collector.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56If that was spot-on, you'd be pushing an £150-£160,
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- but gone 40-50... - So it's got an Achilles heel.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01It would need to fly.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05- They'd need to overlook that because the team has paid £140 for.- Ouch!
0:33:05 > 0:33:10Christina may need to find a little joy here to recover the situation.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Let's go and see what she found.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Right, Sarah, Julie, you spent 189, which is healthy enough,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20leaving Christina £111.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Have you got anything underneath there?
0:33:22 > 0:33:24ALL EXCLAIM
0:33:24 > 0:33:28- That's not what I expected.- Do you like it?- Yeah, it's really sweet.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31So, it's a little silver lady's fob watch, OK?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34If we open the back, we've got a 935 stamp,
0:33:34 > 0:33:36which tells us that it's silver. So very sweet.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Got a nice little white enamel dial with Roman numerals,
0:33:39 > 0:33:40and this gilding as well,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43which sets it apart from a fairly standard fob watch.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- Have a little look at it.- I do like the back, it's very pretty.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50So often you find that they are initialled or monogrammed
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- and that one isn't.- OK.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55It might need a little bit of TLC, but nonetheless...
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- What kind of period is it?- It would probably be about 1875, 1880.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05- OK.- Do we like?- I like it very much. - Is it actually working, though?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- Um... - LAUGHTER
0:34:07 > 0:34:08...broken...
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Which is why I say it does need a little bit of TLC,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13but that is reflected in the price that I paid for it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16- And now to the crunch.- Yeah, how much should you pay for it?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- £15. - THEY GASP
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- Ooh!- That's really good!
0:34:20 > 0:34:21At auction, I mean,
0:34:21 > 0:34:24they regularly make somewhere in the region of £30-£50.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- Something like that.- Oh, right. - You don't have to decide now.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30We'll leave that to after your lots have sold.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32But meanwhile, let's go and see
0:34:32 > 0:34:38if the auctioneer thinks Christina's timepiece is one to WATCH.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Should they need their bonus buy,
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Christina Trevanion purchased that little fob watch. Do you like?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48They are picked up, they are sold. People want them still.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49So there is a market for it.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51And being silver, you've got that added thing.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- It's quality, yeah?- Yeah. It all depends what she paid for it, mind.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57We've gone £20-£25.
0:34:57 > 0:34:59Well, I think Christina would be quite happy with that
0:34:59 > 0:35:01because she paid 15.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04- All bodes well. - She's a goodie on that one.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07This will be an interesting auction. Are you taking it, Richard?
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- I am.- Well, I for one cannot wait. Good luck to you.
0:35:10 > 0:35:11There's great, thank you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:1410. 12.
0:35:15 > 0:35:1730 in the room.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19At 30.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24- How are the nerves? Brimful of optimism or sheer terror?- Um...
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- I'm optimistic.- I'm excited! - Yeah, these are good!
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Now it's the comptometer. Here it comes.- £20. 15? Tenner?
0:35:33 > 0:35:3510. 15.
0:35:35 > 0:35:41£15 bid. With me at 15. With me at 15. Internet is out. Room is out.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44£15... Are we all finished? All done?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- 20. Thank you, sir.- Oh, come on!
0:35:47 > 0:35:49£20. Are we all finished?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54£20. A £15 loss on that.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58Don't be despondent, it's all to come, I'm sure.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Your sewing machine, here it comes now.
0:36:00 > 0:36:05£15. £20. 25. 30. 35.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08- 35 away.- Oh, no!
0:36:08 > 0:36:12- 40, the internet. 45, the room. - Come on!
0:36:12 > 0:36:1545, the room. 50, the internet.
0:36:15 > 0:36:1760, the room.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19- Come on, internet!- 60, the room.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23All done. Sold at 60.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- There was healthy competition. - I think we've been stitched up.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31Stop it! Minus £55.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34Here's your last lot. It's down to the travel trunk. Here it comes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Again, I've got four or five bids. These are popular at the moment.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41£20. 25. 30. 35. 40. 45.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4450. 50 at the back of the room. 50. 50.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48- Come on!- Back of the room. 60. Thank you.
0:36:48 > 0:36:5060 here. I'll take a little 'un. 65?
0:36:50 > 0:36:5360 down here. At 60, you're all out.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Down here. Sold at £60.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03That was a break-even. The final hurdle.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Leaving us a grand loss of £45.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- That's not bad!- It's not too bad.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11In fairness, in Bargain Hunt world, that isn't bad.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14So stay optimistic. Go with the bonus buy, the fob seals.
