0:00:04 > 0:00:06SHE GASPS
0:00:20 > 0:00:22No time to stop now.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25You have a look at the next bit while I go and gather up the teams
0:00:25 > 0:00:28and let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Goodness, just made it in time.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00We are in Lewes, but before I introduce you to the teams,
0:01:00 > 0:01:01let's take a
0:01:01 > 0:01:03sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07It's marital bliss with the Reds...
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Do you like an urn?- Yeah. - I like an urn. I love big things.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11Yeah, we like big.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- And we're here to win. - You're here to win.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- We're here to win.- Competitive?- Yes.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19But it's marital mayhem with the Blues...
0:01:19 > 0:01:22- I like the truncheon.- I like the yoke. I do really like it.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- I think it's too much of a risk. - Put it back. Put it back.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Oh, all right, OK.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27I'm too old to keep up with all this.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31But it's all happy families over at the auction.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Can I see 280 now?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Selling for £95.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40But that's all coming up later.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Today, the show is made up of two cracking couples.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47For the Reds, we have Gareth and Polly,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50and for the Blues, Richard and Abigail.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- Welcome, everyone. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54SHE LAUGHS
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Now, so, Polly, tell me how you guys met.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00So we met at St Andrews University.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02It was when we were doing our music, so Gareth was playing
0:02:02 > 0:02:06the piano for a choir that I sang in and I'd spot him over the piano.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Did you think, "I'll have him"?
0:02:07 > 0:02:11- Uh-huh. Pretty much. - THEY LAUGH
0:02:11 > 0:02:14So, Gareth, tell me about your music.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16I got involved in our local theatre group, so I'm in the pit
0:02:16 > 0:02:20normally, waving my arms in front of a band of players.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- But you are also involved in opera. - Well, I like to go to the opera.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27If I could, you know, if I had the proper skills, then I'd be
0:02:27 > 0:02:29involved in that, you know, rather than the
0:02:29 > 0:02:32sort of West End musicals because opera is proper music, you know.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35But you often find me in a standing place at Covent Garden.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Just a few quid to spend a few hours in the Opera House. It's fantastic.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39That's terrific.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42So, obviously, brought together by your love of music.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Brought today together by your love of antiques.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- How are you going to get on today? - Polly will be negotiating.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Yeah, hopefully.- I'll be spotting the class items in the shops.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- I think we're going to have fun. - I'm looking forward to it.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00That's lovely. And now for the Blue team.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04Now, Richard and Abigail, tell me how you guys first met.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It was years ago. I was 18 and Richard was 21
0:03:07 > 0:03:09and I was working in a jewellers.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Richard came to work there and we had these doors that bang.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15And we were told, "You're not to bang these doors together cos
0:03:15 > 0:03:17"you're going to hit the person behind it on the head,"
0:03:17 > 0:03:20and he did that. He banged it, he whacked me on the head, really hard.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- It was that first impression... - It was that first impression.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25He literally knocked me off my feet.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Now, Abigail, I believe you have a few phobias in your life.- I do.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31And they don't make any sense.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Tunnels - we've just come through a tunnel, flying,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39- coming on television programmes... - THEY LAUGH
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Pretty much the list of what I'm scared of is longer than what
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I'm not scared of, but I go and do it and that's how I cope.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Now, Richard, tell me about your passions in life,
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- apart from your darling wife.- Yes. I like running and I like music,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56are the two real passions I have in life.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I play the guitar and I've got some drums.- And what about running?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- Do you do half marathons? Marathons? - I did a naked run.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06A naked run? Was that not a bit draughty?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07THEY LAUGH
0:04:07 > 0:04:10It's not so draughty, but there is no nicer way of saying it,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12running downhill is not as much fun as running uphill.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13SHE LAUGHS
0:04:13 > 0:04:16What about your shopping today? How will you get on together?
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Normal options.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20I give him the choices that I like and he chooses which one
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- he likes best out of the ones that I like.- I do as I'm told.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28"I do as I'm told." And now for the money moment. £300 each.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Your experts await, so off you go and very, very, very good luck.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Marital bliss! Wonderful!
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And, of course, our teams need a little helping out along the way.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Hoping to hit the jackpot with the Reds, it's Nick Hall.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51And marching alongside the Blues today, it's Philip Serrell.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well, here we are, Gareth, Polly, ready for the shop?
0:04:54 > 0:04:55- BOTH:- Absolutely.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58All you've got to do is, in that hour, get three things bought,
0:04:58 > 0:04:59make a profit. Who can fail?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I just want to have fun
0:05:01 > 0:05:03and I want hopefully for something to catch my eye.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Whatever takes our fancy, we'll get it, right?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Let's get stuck in. Come on, guys.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, not much of a shopping list today, teams,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14or, in other words, it sounds like they're winging it.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Good luck.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20OK, teams, 60 minutes on the clock, your time starts now.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Gosh, where do you start, where do you start?
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Right.- Silver box.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Richard looks like he's on a mission.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34And Gareth has gone as well. Oh, there he is.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Now, this I like the look of. 20% sale.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Now there's a good start before we've even negotiated anything.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Good to see you have your business head on, Nick.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Speaking of heads, what on earth?
0:05:47 > 0:05:48If she had a sore throat,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51that would be one hell of a sore throat, wouldn't it?
0:05:51 > 0:05:55I always did find your jokes a little hard to swallow, Phil.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Has Gareth spotted something?
0:05:57 > 0:06:00What do you think about wooden stuff?
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- Wooden stuff.- All this Tunbridge ware, look, here.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I quite like the intricacy of it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Small wooden pieces, commonly known in the trade as treen,
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- very collectable if it's the right piece.- Price, yeah.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Now, the right price as well, of course.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Now, being where we are, in Sussex,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19we're not a million miles from Kent where Tunbridge is, of course.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22So you will naturally have a gravitation of Tunbridge ware
0:06:22 > 0:06:25collectors within the vicinity, possibly at the auction?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27The nice thing about boxes is that they've got a practical use
0:06:27 > 0:06:30even now. It doesn't matter how old it is, you can still...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32As long as it opens and closes, you can put something in it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Very good Gareth, thinking inside the box there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Right, time to stick your neck out on this one, Phil.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think it's £30 to £50 worth, and it's priced at 50
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- so it's probably just... - We need to get it down.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- Yeah, if you're both interested in it.- I know, I need to get Richard.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50- Richard?- I think Richard has his own ideas.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Come on, don't do that.- No!
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- It's a field telephone, isn't it? - Yes, yes.- Original post office one,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57so they would use it in the field, wouldn't they?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- Yes.- It's a possibility but...
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- Think about it.- Do you not think you kind of need two of them?
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Good point, Phil.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Although when you talk to yourself,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- you do tend to get the right answers.- What do you think of her?
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- She is head and shoulders above the...- Aw, come on.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Baboom! He's here all day.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- Put it back, put it back.- Oh, OK.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22That's why I give him the options and he chooses which one
0:07:22 > 0:07:26- he likes best. From my choices. - Then you tell him what he can buy.
0:07:26 > 0:07:27And then we...I tell him what he can buy.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Right, this is going to be an interesting auction, isn't it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Ah, marriage bliss. Consider yourself told there, Richard.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Back to the Reds.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39They've been joined by shop owner Michelle.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- That one's sweet.- I quite like the bigger one.- Help yourself.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Are we allowed to dive in? - How much is that one, Gareth?
0:07:46 > 0:07:47This one is 140.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Says it's a glove box.
0:07:49 > 0:07:53I think anything over £100 you're going to struggle with at auction.
0:07:53 > 0:07:54So anything under £100, I think
0:07:54 > 0:07:56they're the ones that we need to be looking at today.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Wise words, Nicholas. Fortunately, there's plenty of choice.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05- Penny for your thoughts, there, Phil.- Richard, I've seen a watch.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I've seen a watch.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- She's seen a watch.- It's a lot of money.- Is that good?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13It's a lot of money. That's not good, is it?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15- How much is a lot of money? - It's £150.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- HE GASPS - Yes, OK, no, no.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20I did realise that, it's just that I like it.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23At least you're keeping your eye on the time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2515 minutes into your shop, guys.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29Now it looks like the Reds have reined in their box ambitions.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32So, Michelle, what sort of discount would you do us
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- on the two boxes here?- On the £40 one, that could be 30.- That's good.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- And 55 can be 45.- OK.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42In a retail environment,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- £30 for a lovely little box like that is a good deal.- OK.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49So, I think we've found our first item then, have we?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Yeah, it's exciting.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think you ought to thank this lady, shake her hand.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Thanks very much.- Excellent. - Michelle, you're a star. Thank you.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59That all went very smoothly, didn't it?
0:08:59 > 0:09:01One item down in a third of your time.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05I wonder if the Blues are having any such luck?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- So what do you think to that? - That is really good and different.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13See, what I want you to do is come and stand here,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and look at the face that is looking at you looking at that
0:09:16 > 0:09:19which shows a degree
0:09:19 > 0:09:23- of total lack of interest in this. - Come on!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Is there a bit of a row brewing here?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Oh, no, not again.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30It's £90!
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- We are not taking it home!- I know, but it's, I don't know...
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- Come on, it's so different. - Is that a lot of money for it?
0:09:37 > 0:09:39- Truncheons are really quite collectable.- OK.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44This is a ceremonial truncheon. It's probably dated about 1860, 1870.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47At auction, I think that's going to make between £60 and £90.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51It's priced at £90. Whether we will or not, remains to be seen.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- The very best will be 70. - Couldn't do 60 then?
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- 60.- No, sorry. - 65, please do 65. Please.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Look, what we are going to do is, let's have a look round the
0:10:00 > 0:10:02whole shop cos we're definitely going to spend some money here.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- Good shop.- OK.- Put that by just for a moment.- OK.- All right?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09And perhaps if you buy two things here,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- you might be able to work a deal. - It's growing on me.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- It's growing on me.- Was it the same with him or...?- No, no, no.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- He's still working on it. - Oh, right, OK.- Ouch.- Ow, ow, ow, ow!
0:10:20 > 0:10:21I felt that.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23We're going to have trouble with you two.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Ay up, Nick's on the prowl. What's he spotted outside?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Guys, guys, come and have a look out here.- What is it?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34This is what you need to do when you're Bargain Hunting.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Make sure you look at and see everything.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Now, I've spied out here all sorts of stuff.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- I do like that pair of urns. - Big urns.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46What do you do with big urns? You URN big.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- Nice one.- I was trusting you on that.- Do you like them?
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- I do, actually. I've always loved... Do you like an urn?- Yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- I like an urn.- We like an urn.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56How long have they been out here and when were they made, do you think?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Are these...?- Well, they certainly aren't what we call period.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02It's a classic, 18th-century Grecian revival style.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06These will be 20th-century, reconstituted, reproduction
0:11:06 > 0:11:09copies, but they weather nicely. They age, they get patination.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Shall I go and have a chat with Michelle
0:11:11 > 0:11:13and see what sort of price can be done?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- I think so, yes.- You rummage, I'll go and talk.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20Let's leave the Reds to a touch of landscaping and join the Blues.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- What have you got?- There's a yoke here. A bit full of woodworm but...
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- That's no "yoking" matter, is it, really?- Aww.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27SHE LAUGHS
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Do you prefer that to the truncheon?- I like them both.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- I like the yoke.- It's best you make a decision, Blues.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36You still have all three items to find
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and 40 minutes left on the clock.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42Meanwhile, the Reds are checking out a potential purchase.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44Oh, guys, it's parky out here. What do you think?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- Have you had a good look? - I quite like them, actually.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Before they threw them out here, they were 245 quid the pair.
0:11:50 > 0:11:55But they can be yours, here, today, now, at £150, if you want them.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- I don't know. - Are you going to URN big?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- I love big things. - Yeah, we like big.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Well, she's not often excited about big urns.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- I think we'll go for it.- I reckon. - OK, let's go for it.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Shall I go and tell her yes? - Yes, seal the deal.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10OK, right, and we'll get them to shift and deliver them as well.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- I'll go and get them paid, thanks. - I'm stuck now.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Nice one, Reds, that's your second item in the bag.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Hm, maybe not a bag, maybe a forklift and a truck for those, eh?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Meanwhile, up the road,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Phil is getting into the rural spirit of things.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- It's looking good. You own it. - How much do you say?- 30.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34What do you reckon?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I think it's another thing that we should think about, actually.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It looks far too much like manual work for me.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Let's just go and see if we can see anything else around, shall we?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45Come on, guys, that halfway point is fast approaching.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Let's leave the team shopping
0:12:47 > 0:12:49as it's time for me to play heads or tails.
0:12:56 > 0:13:00The face value of this crown
0:13:00 > 0:13:02is five shillings.
0:13:02 > 0:13:08In today's money, that's 25 pence.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13But this crown is worth much more than that.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18Now, the crown has been around since the Middle Ages, and in
0:13:18 > 0:13:24those very, very early days, it was made of gold and hand-hammered.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30But in 1902, because of its decreased spending power
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and it's relatively cumbersome weight and size,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38it ceased to be day-to-day currency.
0:13:38 > 0:13:44But the people loved the crown, and between 1927 and 1936,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48it was reintroduced as a collectors' coin.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51This is a wreath crown,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54and it is an important collectors' piece.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58The obverse, or front of the coin,
0:13:58 > 0:14:05shows the head of George V surrounded by his Latin titles.
0:14:05 > 0:14:12The reverse of the coin, shows the characteristic garland or wreath,
0:14:12 > 0:14:18the date, 1928, and the King's crown in the centre.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24It is a little piece of sculpture with a big bit of history.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28It was designed by George Kruger Gray
0:14:28 > 0:14:31and has a high silver content in it.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36This coin is priced up at £60,
0:14:36 > 0:14:38and to the coin enthusiast,
0:14:38 > 0:14:43a silver coin can be worth its weight in gold.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Back to the shopping, and with 25 minutes remaining,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59the Reds are way out in front with two items under their belt.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03But the Blues have yet to find their first item.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- Gareth.- Yes.- You like social history and interesting things.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Absolutely, yeah.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Do you know what that is?- No. - Cake stand.- It's not.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13If you imagine, back in the Georgian days,
0:15:13 > 0:15:16when they had these wonderful big dinner parties,
0:15:16 > 0:15:17at the end of the evening
0:15:17 > 0:15:20when the gentlemen sat around with a large port or brandy
0:15:20 > 0:15:21and the cigars came out
0:15:21 > 0:15:26and maybe some of the more bawdy conversations, they would dismiss
0:15:26 > 0:15:32- all of the waiting staff and so they would bring out a dumb waiter.- OK.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36They would put fruits and desserts and treats and nibbles on there.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- It's not an old one. - It doesn't look old.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41This was made in the 20th century. It's also not a lot of money.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- It's £24.- Yeah.- But it might be one for the back burner.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Yeah, I think back burner it is because I don't know that
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- I love it, not that it's all about loving it, but...- No, no.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- I'll put it back.- Well-spotted. - Log it up there, plan B.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- If nothing else, we'll come back to it. Carry on looking.- OK.- Cool.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Two items down with one backup,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02there's no messing with you today.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Sadly for the Blues, they're still weighing their options.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- So why do you like these? - I think they're decorative.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I think people will like them in their house.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15I would like it on my sideboard. Very pretty, very nice.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Just very appealing, visually.
0:16:17 > 0:16:22So, we've got truncheon, yoke, scales.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Certainly an eclectic taste, Blues. - We both like the yoke, don't we?
0:16:26 > 0:16:30- Yeah, OK, the yoke's in.- So it's now the truncheon or the scales.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Oh-oh. This could be the tipping point.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36I'll give up the truncheon then.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Well, let's find out what's the best on that.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41What's the best on the scales. We're sort of near the top end.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- DEALER:- 35.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Oh, no. I know what's coming.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Could you keep for us, could you keep the truncheon,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- the scales and the yoke.- OK.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53And we'll go and have a look next door, right?
0:16:53 > 0:16:54And we'll come back
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- and we are definitely going to buy something off you.- OK, thank you.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- It might be one, it might be two. - Could be three.
0:16:59 > 0:17:00It might even be all three.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Is that all right?- Yes, absolutely.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Now, that is definitely what you call
0:17:04 > 0:17:06keeping your options open, Phil.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09And don't forget, you have 20 minutes left on the clock to
0:17:09 > 0:17:13seal the deal on all three items.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Meanwhile, has Gareth tracked down the Red's final item?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Actually, it looked better from over there.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Now you can see it in its full glory, what do you reckon, Nick?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Is it worth looking at?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I can see it in its full, I'm not so sure the glory is there.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Where has it come from? Peckham?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34I think even Del Boy might have a problem trying to shift that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35It was £170 down to £80.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Gareth, I'm feeling quite fragile. - You're not convinced.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42I think if you go to auction, we'll have fun, we'll have a laugh,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45- and you'll go home with no money. - No money. And we're here to win.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- You're here to win.- We're here to win.- You're competitive.- Yes.
0:17:48 > 0:17:53That's right, Gareth, this time next year you could be millionaires!
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Oh, look out. Are the Blues about to change tactics and buy something?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Well, the Reds are going underground.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Mind the steps, guys.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06Oh, wow, loads of stuff in here.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09We've wandered down to the bargain basement here.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12What's the story with teddies these days? Do they sell?
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Can do, if they're early and if they're Steiff,
0:18:14 > 0:18:15then you're away.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Other than that, it can be a bit of a minefield, really.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Right then, teams, you have ten minutes left.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Time to put your back into it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- SHE LAUGHS - Aww!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29I just think it's funny. It just makes me laugh. Do you like it?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33- No, you don't.- I'll take that as a no, actually.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36I'll put it back. Right, OK.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38- Back it goes. Back it goes. - I'll bowl and you hit them.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42It's back-breaking work watching you, Blues.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46May I remind you, you haven't bought a single item yet.
0:18:46 > 0:18:51Come on, Reds, time to wrap up your shop with that third and final item.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- What do you think of these, Nick? - What have you spotted?- These.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56- I love the black and white... - Ooh, nice.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58..and I love the furniture on them.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- I've always loved those tables. Fabulous.- Yeah, really stylish.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Absolutely bang-on trend, that is, Homemaker design.
0:19:05 > 0:19:06They are just so saleable.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10And it fits in so well with the retro and the vintage markets,
0:19:10 > 0:19:15all those areas that the collectors' worlds are strong in at the moment.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Sounds promising. Blues, seven minutes left.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23This business these days is all about upcycling.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28And it's about taking something and turning it into something else,
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- improving it and just being different with things.- Yes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36And I think that is a great example of upcycling.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Cos it's a boat and it's a bookcase.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43It's out of our price range at 340.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47If you really liked it, you can make an offer of a couple of hundred
0:19:47 > 0:19:49and they might take it or they might not.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52- But you've got to really like it. - I do really like it.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- I think it's too much of a risk. Yeah.- You know it's not our money?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57But it's a big chunk of the budget just blown on that.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00- It would be nice to see you spend some money, wouldn't it?- Yes.- Hm.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01All right.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03You're telling me, Phil!
0:20:03 > 0:20:07You've bought nothing and the Reds are practically finished.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09The only thing is, they're individually priced.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11It's a shame it's not a set but...
0:20:11 > 0:20:14Well, that gives you an indication of just how collectable they are.
0:20:14 > 0:20:15What about a pair of plates?
0:20:15 > 0:20:18You know, set on a sideboard, either side of a bowl or a dish.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20People like a pair of anything.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- So what are the prices? - Yeah, they're lovely. So, £15.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25I really like them. I could see these in our house, actually.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27- They'd fit our house. - You could live with these?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Easily, yes. - I could live with these.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Shall I go and get our friend and see what we can do?
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- OK, I'll be back in a minute. - Brilliant.- Brilliant, thank you.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37I love those.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Very good, Reds. Right, Phil, it's time to take action.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Five minutes left and three items to buy.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I've had a word with the dealer. OK. This originally came in...
0:20:48 > 0:20:49The dealer who bought it
0:20:49 > 0:20:53originally came in and priced it at £250. And the people who
0:20:53 > 0:20:55run the shop thought that they could
0:20:55 > 0:20:57perhaps ask a little bit more for it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00But based upon the original price at 250, I think
0:21:00 > 0:21:03we might be able to get it for £150. Are you happy with that?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- Very happy.- If they'll take it, yes. - OK, I'll be back in two minutes.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- Don't move!- OK.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Could this be item number one on the cards?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Meanwhile, Nick has returned with Michelle.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Time for some final negotiations. Two odd plates.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19There was a good price on them?
0:21:19 > 0:21:23It was meant to be 30, that's the ticket price is 30.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- I think, at the very best, it would be 20 for the two.- OK.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28You couldn't shove it to just under that?
0:21:28 > 0:21:33If we paid 18, there's a little bit of profit. Any chance?
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- OK.- Are you sure? Are you comfortable with that?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37That's really kind.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39OK, look, guys, we've got just a little over five minutes left.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- It's kind of crunch time. - It's amazing how the time has gone.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- I think we should definitely go for it.- Deal done? £18, if you're happy.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47That's fine.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- You're a star, thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- Thank you, brilliant.- Good, that's it, guys. All shopped out.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- All three pieces.- And I'll tell you what, though, it was close.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58We've only got a few minutes left. I need a drink. Who's round is it?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- Polly's.- Come on, Polly, get your hand in your pocket.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Well done, Reds. All three items done and dusted.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09However, it's sink or swim time for the Blues. Three minutes left.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12I really hope he can get it because I think anybody would buy that.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Do you know what?- What? - I love that.- Do you?
0:22:16 > 0:22:20- 150 quid, you've bought it! - Excellent.- I love you.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- I think that is so... I just hope it doesn't scuttle us.- Aw.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Very funny, Phil. But this is no laughing matter.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31You have two minutes left, two items to buy, well, come on, then!
0:22:31 > 0:22:32What are we going to do?
0:22:32 > 0:22:35We're going to go back for the truncheon and the yoke.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38So this is... There is a slight wood flavour going on here.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41- Yes, I know.- It's natural. - If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Off you go, then. Quick, quick, quick, quick!
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Well, well, well. Three wooden items.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48That's if they make it back to the other shop in time.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Look at this, I don't know.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Hang on, team. Don't forget your expert!
0:22:55 > 0:22:58This is all about the hare and the tortoise, really.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- And in my book, the tortoise always wins.- One minute!
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- Hello.- We're interested in the truncheon and the yoke.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11OK, I can do 65 on the truncheon and 30 on the yoke. So 95.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- 95, OK, we'll do that then.- Yes, OK.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- We'll do that 95, and thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I just got here in the nick of time then.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Time's up, teams!- OK, right, I think we can now go and chill...
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Yes.- ..and find out what the Reds have been doing.- Brilliant.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Um, I think that's my line, Mr Serrell.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37First up was the Tunbridge ware box priced at £30.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Next, the garden urns cost them £150.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And finally, it was the pair of Ridgway's plates.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50They set them back £18.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Gareth, Polly, did you have a good time?- We had a great time.
0:23:54 > 0:23:55Absolutely terrific. Yeah.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- What is your favourite item?- I'm a wee bit torn, but I think I would go
0:23:59 > 0:24:02for the little box that we bought, the little Tunbridge ware box.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Is it going to make the best profit, though?
0:24:04 > 0:24:06I don't think it will. I've decided,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09I reckon the big urns are going to bring the most money.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Big is beautiful?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13As long as the right people are in the room, absolutely.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I love my black and white Homemaker plates.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19I frankly think they are going to make the best profit, too.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I've already fallen in love too much.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24SHE LAUGHS So, how much did you spend?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We spent a whopping £198.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well done, well done.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33£102 for me then, please, firstly, which I will hand over to Nick.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Thank you, Anita.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Do you have an idea of what would suit this lovely couple?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Do you know what, Anita? I'm going to find something sleek,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44decorative and got a bit of a bang to it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Oooh.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48- Well, good luck with that. - I'm intrigued.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52But right now, let's check out what the Blues bought.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56The first item that floated their boat was the bookshelf.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Price paid, £150.
0:24:59 > 0:25:04Next up was the police truncheon which cost them £65.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09And their final item was the yoke. Price paid, £30.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Abigail, Richard, did you have a good time with our darling Phil?
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- We had an amazing time.- Yes. - Excellent, excellent expert.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Wonderful.- Oh! Just want to frame that moment.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21THEY LAUGH
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Now, tell me, Abigail, what was your favourite item?
0:25:24 > 0:25:28My favourite item will have to be the shelves made from the boat.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- Right. - I thought they were beautiful.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33If I could have done, I would have put them in my bag
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and run away with them and not put them in the auction.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38But the question is,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40is that lot going to make the most money for you?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42It should because it's so beautiful,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45but I think the yoke might make the most money.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Richard, what was your favourite item?- The truncheon.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- Oh, the truncheon. - Definitely the truncheon.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- Still got it, despite opposition. - How much money did you guys spend?
0:25:56 > 0:26:01- £245.- Wonderful! Wonderful.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06£55, please, which goes straight to Philip.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Have you an idea of what you're going to buy, Phil?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Not really, but they've done so well, all I've got to do is keep
0:26:11 > 0:26:14things going and just buy another profit, haven't I?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Yes. They're all going to do well, right?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17And off you go.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20And right now, we're going to tootle off down to the auction.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Today, we're at Bellmans Auctioneers in West Sussex
0:26:35 > 0:26:40with auctioneer Will Pasfield. Will, it's lovely to be here.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Wonderful to see you here.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Well, let's have a look at the Reds first.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48Gareth and Polly chose first of all this lovely little
0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Tunbridge ware box. Tell me what you think of it.- I like it.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54One of the reasons I like it is because it's a
0:26:54 > 0:26:56rosewood box as well.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00So much this Tunbridge ware you see on boxwood or even beech.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It's nice that it's on the rosewood. It just gives it that little edge.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- So, what's your auction estimate? - £20 to £30.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09Well, they paid 30, so...
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- I hope we'll get somewhere near it. - Yes.
0:27:11 > 0:27:17- Next item are the huge stoneware urns.- Yes.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Good, functional, decorative items for your garden.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Tell me what you think of those. - I like them.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26And I think we'll sell them and I think we'll sell them well.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And we will sell a garden urn just as well in the winter
0:27:28 > 0:27:30as we do in the summer. It dresses the room.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32And with the interiors look.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34This is music to my ears, Will.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38- What's your estimate?- My estimate on that are £60 to £100 for the pair.
0:27:38 > 0:27:4160 to 100. They paid £150, so
0:27:41 > 0:27:44it might be pushing the boat out a wee bit.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I think it'll take some pushing to get them up there.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49- I mean, I'll give it my best go. - I know you will.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50SHE LAUGHS
0:27:50 > 0:27:55Now, their last item here, a pair of Homemakers plates,
0:27:55 > 0:27:5820th-century design. Tell me what you think of those.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02Ridgway Homemaker pattern, historically, for as long
0:28:02 > 0:28:05as I think I've been in the game, has always been quite popular.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Say about seven years ago, it was at its height.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09It might have gone down a little bit now,
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- but they're still very stylish. - Estimate on those?- £5 to £10.
0:28:13 > 0:28:18- 5 to 10. Not a lot, is it, Will? They have paid £18 for them.- OK.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21So, all in all, not too bad.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:28:24 > 0:28:26but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Gareth, Polly, you spent a wonderful £198,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37well done. And you left Nick £102.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Nick, what did you buy? Now, I did promise you
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- I was going to find something with a bang, didn't I?- You did.- Yes.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49- What about that? Going, going, gone. What do you think?- I love it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Auctioneer's gavel and stone. - Go on, how much was that then?
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- I paid the princely sum of £30. - It's lovely.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Now, as auctioneers, we all buy gavels and collect gavels,
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- but I love the funky Art Deco end on the handle.- Yes, I love that.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07It's got that sort of Georg Jensen-type look about it.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's not by him, but it's got that sort of look, hasn't it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It's a cool thing, I thought.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13But if you are not an auctioneer,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16it could come in handy as a nutcracker.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17THEY LAUGH
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Well, let's hope they go nuts about it today.
0:29:20 > 0:29:2330 quid. And it's going to make how much, do you think, in the auction?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Aw, that's a big question, isn't it?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Oh, I think this is going to rattle away and double its money.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Double its money? - There's a prediction for you.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- Feels a bit rich to me. - It's got style, hasn't it?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37It's got a certain je ne sais quoi.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Now, you don't need to make up your mind at the moment.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Wait until after your first three items have been sold.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45But let's go over and see if the
0:29:45 > 0:29:48auctioneer is nuts about Nick's gavel.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- Will, what do you think of this interesting object?- I do like it,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57actually. Is it an auctioneer's gavel? Is it a nutcracker?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59People can make up their own mind.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02But I do like the pattern on the silver plate here.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Yeah, we've mentioned in the Georg Jensen style,
0:30:05 > 0:30:06so it's quite nice.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- It's got a bit of shape to it. - What's your estimate on that?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12My estimate on that is £20 to £30.
0:30:12 > 0:30:18Well, he paid £30 for it, so not too bad. There is a chance.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- I think there's every chance.- Yes. Moving on to the Blues now.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Our first item is quite an interesting object here.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29It's an open book case
0:30:29 > 0:30:34- and it was made from a section of a clinker boat.- Yes, it is.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I do like it. However, I think
0:30:36 > 0:30:37they've missed a bit of a trick here.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40For my money, it's upside down.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42If you were to turn it the other way up,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44you would actually get the nice point.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47There is also a lovely stencil of a number and a maker's name in there.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I think it would give it a much brighter future
0:30:50 > 0:30:54- if it was the other way up.- Give me your estimate.- £30 to £50.- 30 to 50.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Well, they've paid £150. HE LAUGHS
0:30:57 > 0:31:02So that's going to be a hard one to get to.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- Well, let's go on to the police truncheon.- Yes.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10And Richard liked this item here. Tell me what you think of these.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13We sell a lot of policemen's truncheons. People always like them.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15They display easily, they display well,
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I don't think we'll have any trouble selling this one.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20- Estimate on that? - It's £30 to £50.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24They've paid £65 on this one. Is it going to get there?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26I think we might struggle getting that far.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Because it doesn't have a lot of stencilling on it.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30It's a bit too plain.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32The ones that come under the high price have got
0:31:32 > 0:31:33- a lot of decoration on them.- Yes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:39Last item, Will, is this rustic late-19th, early 20th-century yoke.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I think it's lovely. We're in the countryside here as well.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44There's plenty of milking herds round here.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46There's plenty of dairies, there's plenty of farms,
0:31:46 > 0:31:47there's plenty of farm shops.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- These are all things that decorate them nicely.- Yes. Estimate, Will.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- £10 to £20.- 10 to 20. Well, they paid £30 for it.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55From what you've said, Will,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I think they're going to need their bonus buy,
0:31:57 > 0:31:59so let's go and have a look at it.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Richard, Abigail, you spent a wonderful £245.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08That was marvellous.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Spendthrifts. You left Phil £55.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Phil, show us what you bought.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Well, I might need your hand there, actually.
0:32:17 > 0:32:22- Let me help you, darling.- Woo, there you go.- Ohh!- All right.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24OK.
0:32:24 > 0:32:30I think this is probably somewhere between about 1895
0:32:30 > 0:32:32and 19... First World War period.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34And this sort of era
0:32:34 > 0:32:38that relates to various different regiments,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- I think, is hugely collectable. - Yes.- It's amateur-done.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45I would think it was done either by a soldier or it was
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- done by his family, but it was £20. - £20 is not bad, I think.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- What will it make?- I think it ought to make between £30 and £50.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Yes, I do like it.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- I do think that there is interest in this sort of thing.- You like it?
0:32:59 > 0:33:02I do actually like it, yes, I do. It's growing on me.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Is it growing on you? - Just like Phil.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07You don't need to make a decision now,
0:33:07 > 0:33:11but let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Phil's flags.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Will, tell me what you think of Phil's framed and embroidered
0:33:17 > 0:33:19panel of the Borders Regiment.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23It's ready to go. A little bit of work on the frame.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26It's going to appeal to a very small section, I think,
0:33:26 > 0:33:31- so I wouldn't be banking on it.- But is the military market not strong?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33It can be.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36I'd hazard a guess that this is what someone's
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- done themselves at home. - Well, it's big.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44It is naive and it has a military connection, so it's got two or three
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- good aspects. What's your estimate on that, Will?- £20 to £40.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- Well, Phil only paid £20.- Perfect.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54So there might be a profit flying on that one.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- There could well be.- Terrific.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00150. 160. 170. 180.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02240. 260.
0:34:02 > 0:34:03Do I see 280 now?
0:34:03 > 0:34:07It's on the left at 350.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11Gareth, Polly, it's time for our items to be sold now.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16- This is the exciting part of it. Do you feel confident?- Do we?- Yes.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20OK, apparently we do.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Your first item is that lovely Tunbridge ware box,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- and I know you liked that.- Love it.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28A nice little bit of quality here, lovely.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30You paid £30 for it.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34And it's coming up right now.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Lot 254 is a late Victorian Tunbridge ware rosewood
0:34:37 > 0:34:40parquetry and marquetry box.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43And I've got bids here taking me up to 15, 20, £25 bid.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Who's got 30 now for the box, anywhere?
0:34:45 > 0:34:4630 anywhere?
0:34:46 > 0:34:4735. 40.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Yes!- No, still with me at £35.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Who's got 40 now, anywhere else?
0:34:51 > 0:34:5240 anywhere?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55All done then at £35.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Hammer's down at 35.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Plus 5.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Wonderful start.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02Wonderful start.
0:35:02 > 0:35:08Your next item are these fabulous big stoneware urns.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11You paid £150 for them.
0:35:11 > 0:35:12Popular little lot, this.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14And I've got six or seven bids on here.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16And I'm going to start off at £80. 90. 95.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17100. 110. 120.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19130. 140. 150.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23160. 170. 180. I stop. I'm looking for 190 in the room now.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27190. I've got two hands up. 190. 200. 220?
0:35:27 > 0:35:28240. 260.

0:35:29 > 0:35:31260, I'm out.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35It's on the left at 260. Are we all done at 260?
0:35:35 > 0:35:37280, new face.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38300.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40320.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41350.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43It's 350 on the left. Are we all done?
0:35:43 > 0:35:46It's on the left at 350...
0:35:47 > 0:35:52£350. You guys have just made
0:35:52 > 0:35:55a profit of 200 quid!
0:35:57 > 0:35:58So lot 258.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02It's a pair of Ridgway plates in the Homemaker pattern. £10.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03Come on, it's got to be worth £10.
0:36:03 > 0:36:0510 is bid. Is that 15?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07Are you going to go 15?
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- 15? No? Are you sure?- Come on.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1212. Yes? 12.
0:36:12 > 0:36:1415? 18, anywhere?
0:36:14 > 0:36:15It's with the ladies at 15.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Are you all done? It's fair warning.
0:36:17 > 0:36:18It's £15. Are we all done?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Selling for £15...
0:36:22 > 0:36:27- Aw, 15.- We are three quid down, guys. What are we doing?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- Minus 3.- Minus 3.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31We're nearly there.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33But that takes you to the
0:36:33 > 0:36:36magnificent profit
0:36:36 > 0:36:40of £202.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Are you going to take the bonus buy? - You get to choose.- No, you choose.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- No, I'm not choosing.- Come on, quick, quick...
0:36:45 > 0:36:48- Are you going to take it?- Oh, go on, then.- Go on, we'll take it.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Go on.- Are you going to take it? - Yeah, we're going to take it.
0:36:51 > 0:36:56Can you lose £202 on this? No. You're going to take a chance.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Take a gamble. Oh, I admire your spirit.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Probably nuts.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Right, lot 264 is a white metal and
0:37:03 > 0:37:05ebonised wood gavel nutcracker.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08It's very multi-purpose here, you can do what you want with it.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11And I'm straight in at £20. I'll take a 5.
0:37:11 > 0:37:1225, I see. 30 now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1430, anywhere?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16It's £25. Are we all done? All out?
0:37:16 > 0:37:21No further interest? It's seated then, at £25.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26- Aw. £25.- I can't believe that! - Unbelievable.
0:37:26 > 0:37:31- That's minus £5.- I'm gutted. - Minus £5.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32That takes you to
0:37:32 > 0:37:38- plus 197, which isn't a bad result. - Not too shabby.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Well done, guys. Well done. - Brilliant.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44The only thing is, put your smiles away.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- Be sombre, composed, say nothing to the Blues.- Mums the word.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- Richard, Abigail, here we are. BOTH:- Yes.- At the auction.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59Your item's about to come up.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Your first one is that lovely open bookcase.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Now, I love that one. - I would have bought that.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- I would still like to have it in my house if I could.- You can't.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11It's a lot of money. I'm a bit worried now. I'm very nervous.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- I have to admit. I'll block my ears and hope for the best.- Yes.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20I have to say, though, that the auctioneer
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- has estimated it at 30 to 50.- No!
0:38:22 > 0:38:26We'll find out in a minute who was right.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Because that lovely bookcase
0:38:28 > 0:38:31made from a clinker boat is coming up now.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Right, lot 280
0:38:33 > 0:38:36is an open bookcase, built from the end section of a mid-war
0:38:36 > 0:38:39clinker-built rowing boat. Really nice little lot, this here.
0:38:39 > 0:38:41And I've got five commission bids here.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42- 35.- Five?- 45. 50.
0:38:42 > 0:38:4655. 60. 65. 70. £75 with me.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Who's got £80 for the bookcase, anywhere?
0:38:49 > 0:38:51£80. 80 is bid. And 5.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52And 90.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55£90 has it. Clears the commission. Is there a 5 anywhere?
