0:00:04 > 0:00:07I do like to be beside the seaside. Don't you?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Yesss!
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Oh! SHE LAUGHS
0:00:20 > 0:00:24I love the fun of the fair, but not as much as an antiques fair.
0:00:24 > 0:00:29So come on! Let's go Bargain Hunting! Taxi!
0:00:55 > 0:00:56OK, thank you.
0:01:00 > 0:01:01Bye-bye.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05So here we are in lovely Lewes, and I'm off to meet the teams.
0:01:05 > 0:01:06But in the meantime,
0:01:06 > 0:01:10let's have a wee peek at what's coming up.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14Today's teams show off their antiques knowledge...
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Zenith are very under-valued because they're beautiful quality.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19110.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21THEY LAUGH
0:01:21 > 0:01:24..and they're not shy when it comes to haggling.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27I was hoping you'd be able to say 25.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29- That's £275.- Wow.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Do they think they could do it for 70?
0:01:31 > 0:01:32THEY LAUGH
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But will it all pay off over at the auction?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Selling then...
0:01:36 > 0:01:38You did the right thing, ladies!
0:01:38 > 0:01:40£60, isn't that wonderful?
0:01:40 > 0:01:4275!
0:01:44 > 0:01:48But that's all coming up later. First of all, let's meet the teams.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52For the Reds, we have couple, Ian and Denise, and for the Blues,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55we have best buddies, Karen and Mary.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:58 > 0:02:03Now, Ian, tell me how you two guys first met.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Well, at the beginning of 2004, um,
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Denise found herself on her own and soon afterwards, so was I, and in
0:02:11 > 0:02:17August, a mutual friend suggested that she call me just to say hi.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Well, she didn't call me, she sent me a text.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25And I didn't really know about texts in 2004,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28so when I'd worked all of that out, I phoned her at about 9.30
0:02:28 > 0:02:30in the evening just to say,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32"Thanks for the text, and how are you?"
0:02:32 > 0:02:37And we agreed to meet the following month and bang! That was it.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- We've been together ever since, really.- It was love at first text.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42THEY LAUGH
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I guess you could say that.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- Now, I believe you're very handy about the house.- I try to be.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I'm reasonably good with my hands,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54so I've got my new workshop outside now, so I am all kitted out.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What's your current project?
0:02:56 > 0:03:01I've got a kid's pedal car that has got bashed about over the years.
0:03:01 > 0:03:06My sons had great fun with it. And it's a restoration project now.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09- I need to get on with it. - Forget about it just now.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11You're here to have fun.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15But, Denise, I believe that you're quite a handy person as well?
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- You're interested in crafts. - I love sewing.- What do you sew?
0:03:19 > 0:03:20What is it, clothes or...?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Basically, I like going to charity shops and then altering items,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and I make things, like, for instance,
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I make handbags out of jeans.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, I'm always doing some sort of sewing.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Make do and mend, that's our policy. - Make do and mend.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Are you going to make do and mend today?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40It'll be exciting.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42What is your plan of attack for today?
0:03:42 > 0:03:47Well, basically, I think we both love things that are old,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50but we like things that have got a lot of memories as well.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52We're looking for things that jump out at us,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56and if they jump out at us as being interesting, then hopefully
0:03:56 > 0:04:01somebody else will see merit in them and give us a profit. We are hoping.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04That's what we're looking for. THEY LAUGH
0:04:04 > 0:04:08And now for our Blue team, Karen and Mary.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- How did you two lovely ladies meet? - We met when we worked together.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- We worked together in a doctor's surgery.- Right.- In South London.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You run an antique stall now?
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Well, we are amateurs and we like doing a little bit of antiques.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- And we have done one in Detling. - Oh, right.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Enthusiastic amateurs? - Very enthusiastic, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- Amateurs who made a couple of bob? - We did, actually.- We did, yeah.
0:04:33 > 0:04:38- Oh, wonderful.- We did all right. - Tell me a bit about your upcycling.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I love buying old pieces of furniture,
0:04:41 > 0:04:45especially French furniture. I really enjoy that.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50So I buy it online, do it up, paint it, and I usually keep it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54- So, Karen, you're pretty keen on antiques as well.- Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Tell me a bit about that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Well, started many years ago when I was very young,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and my dad took me into a bric-a-brac shop
0:05:01 > 0:05:04and I bought a little porcelain doll for a couple of pence
0:05:04 > 0:05:08and took it down to a local antique shop and got £2 for it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Your very first profit!- That's what started me off with it, yeah!
0:05:11 > 0:05:14But, girls, tell me, how are you going to get on today?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Well, anything that catches our eye, anything that we like,
0:05:17 > 0:05:23hopefully, somebody else will like it, and sell it as a profit.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25And now for the money moment.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- £300 to you. £300 to you.- Thank you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Your experts await, so off you go and good luck.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- ALL:- Thank you.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Lovely folk!
0:05:37 > 0:05:41The teams will, of course, need a little help along the way.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44A big fan of the Reds,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46it's Nick Hall.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47And for the Blues,
0:05:47 > 0:05:49it's Philip Serrell.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Excuse me, no, sorry,
0:05:50 > 0:05:52this is me, here.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, here we are, guys, ready for the big shop?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59- Ian, what are you looking for today? - Ooh, old wristwatches, cameras.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02- Got a plan?- Yes.- Which is? - To buy some treen.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Buy some treen? - Small pieces of treen.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Anything that's retro, vintage, I love vintage clothes.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- Anything that catches my eye. - Just anything?- Anything...
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Are we going to spend lots or a little money?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- A little.- A little money cos I'm Scottish.- Right.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20OK, teams, 60 minutes on the clock. Your time starts now.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Come on then.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Let's go shopping! Come on.- Yay!
0:06:23 > 0:06:25So plenty on the team's shopping list today.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27- This is the theatre of dreams. - Thank you.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Let's go and see what we can get.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Or it could be the stage of nightmares.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Ever the optimist, Phil.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38By the looks of it, the Reds have headed for the same shop.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Oh, lots to look at.- It's £95.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44That reminds me of Scotland, that little cruet set.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Ah, Bonny Scotland.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, we're down in the bargain basement here, aren't we?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Oh, I hope so. - That's the name of the game.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Oh, wow, they've got some retro clothes down here.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Let's have a little look.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Something will jump out at us. - Yeah. Hopefully.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Just make sure you catch it when it does.- Yes.- A Spice Girl.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- Tomorrow's antiques, that is.- Yes, that will be tomorrow's antiques.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Right, teams, time to focus on what you want,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08what you really, really want.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Phil's found something and he is joined by shop owner, Michelle.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14So what we've got here is a little bayonet top hip flask,
0:07:14 > 0:07:17bayonet top, because that's just how that works there.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19This is cork, so it's almost, there's no stop in it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22It's self-sealing, so can you see the way it is slightly graduated?
0:07:22 > 0:07:27- Yeah.- So, as you turn it, it actually brings the top down.- Right.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29You've got this here, which,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33I just want to make sure there is no damage to it... OK.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36They're meant for sort of field sports, field pursuits,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39so if you're out on your horse, out in the country doing whatever,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43and it always makes me laugh that they give you a glass hip flask,
0:07:43 > 0:07:47so if you fall over, or trip over, you know, more importantly,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50you are going to lose your booze.
0:07:50 > 0:07:56If it was silver, it's a couple of hundred pounds. Plated. It's £45.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It's like £30 to £40 worth at auction. Do you like it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02I like it, but I think that's too expensive.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06- It's too expensive, that one. - OK. Do you know?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10They've been hand-trained by me, these two. Hand-trained.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13We scoured the countryside looking for the meanest people
0:08:13 > 0:08:15we've got, and this is what we came up with.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20- What could you do that for, my love? - Well, 35 would be the best.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Don't look at me, don't look at me! - I think it should be £30.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Yeah. If we can do it for 30...- If you can do it for 30, we'll have it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- You've got your work cut out here, haven't you?- Hmm.
0:08:32 > 0:08:38- You thought I was bad, didn't you? - Terrible.- Go on.- OK.- Are you sure?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40£30.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43One item down in less than five minutes, Blues.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'm just going to stick this in my pocket and see if I can fill it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47A nice malt?
0:08:47 > 0:08:49Cheers, Phil. I'll drink to that.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51How are the Reds getting on?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Look at this Cornish ware. This looks nice.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57- Ah, you like that, Cornish kitchenware.- Yes.- Quite collectable.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Of course, the thing to look for is the more unusual
0:09:00 > 0:09:03names on the jars, so, for instance, something like saffron would be
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- worth more than, say, tea, coffee, flour, sugar.- Ah, right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08So, you've got to look for the unusual names.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10That's just coffee at the back.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Yeah, and there's no other names on the others?
0:09:12 > 0:09:14No, so they're obviously not so interesting.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Can't we write it in afterwards?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18It would be nice if we could put something rare,
0:09:18 > 0:09:19saffron would be good.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22I think someone would catch out your sneaky ways, Ian.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Someone's rather competitive.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27We'll have no cheating on this show, thank you, Ian.
0:09:27 > 0:09:32- Back to the Blues who have their hands full.- They're postage scales.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36You can tell that because it says postage here, look, you see?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38'Thank goodness you're here, Phil.'
0:09:38 > 0:09:41- If they bought the two, what could that be?- £50.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Do you want to have a think about that?- Yes. What do you...?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47I like that. I don't think I'll go with that.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I mean, I think they're decorative. I'm not sure how old these are.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Pop them back then, Phil.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Ah, Ian, now you're a watch enthusiast.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- What about that cabinet? - Oh, oh, oh.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59What sort of watch catches your interest?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I like Tudor and they were affordable.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04They're starting to go up in price. And Zenith are very undervalued
0:10:04 > 0:10:06because they're beautiful quality
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- and most people don't know what they are.- Interesting.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- But I can't see any here, unfortunately.- What a shame.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13I thought you were going to find us a real bargain.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Well, I'll keep looking, I'll keep looking.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Well, Ian, you certainly know your stuff when it comes to watches.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Now, teams, there seems to be plenty of perusing,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24but not much purchasing going on.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- Are you panicking yet?- Slowly.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- We're beginning to.- You should be.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Nick does have a point. We're approaching the 20-minute mark
0:10:32 > 0:10:33and you have nothing to show for it.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Meanwhile, the Blues have ventured outside.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37Oh, this is the stuff I like.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Just the weather for sitting outside, isn't it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44- I like that table.- Yeah, the table's nice.- What's the table worth?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- In that state? Not a lot.- No, no. - How much is not a lot?
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- 20 quid.- Are you really interested in it?- Yes.- Honestly?
0:10:51 > 0:10:52- No.- You're not?
0:10:52 > 0:10:56- No, I just like it, but I don't want to buy it.- You don't want to buy it?
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- Because it's too much work involved. - You're not going to be doing it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Do you know, I hate it when there's a row.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- THEY LAUGH - I hate atmospheres.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06Uh-oh. Domestic.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So how do we get over this one, then?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11- We agree to differ and move on. - Right, OK, fine, follow me, then.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- THEY LAUGH - I did try.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Everyone loves a trier, Phil.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20Right, Reds, you're just over 25 minutes through your shop
0:11:20 > 0:11:22and still not a single item bought.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- Do you know what that is? - It looks like a medical instrument.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29It is a medical instrument, exactly right. It's called a fleem.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- Right.- Fleem.- And a fleem is an
0:11:32 > 0:11:35antique blood-letting bit of equipment.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39It's an ancient practice that goes back to medieval times.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42The belief that if you had an ailment, if you let the blood,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45the impurities flowed out and hence you got better.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Now, there is a big market for collecting medical antiquities
0:11:48 > 0:11:51and this, I think, has got a bit of age to it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It probably dates to, I'd have thought, the
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- beginning of the 19th century, so around 200 years old.- Gosh.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Different size of blades for different types of cutting
0:12:01 > 0:12:03and, of course, so that you don't cut yourself, you can
0:12:03 > 0:12:08close the blades back into the protective sheath like that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- And it's nice and neat and fits in the doc's poc.- Yes.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14It's an unusual thing. There won't be another one in the auction.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16If there are any medical collectors there,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20they're not going to be spoilt for choice for fleems.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- You don't see many of them. - No.- Don't think I'd want to.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Now, look, it was £65. I've got them down to £50 if we want it.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Shall we go for it?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Do you think we can knock them down a little bit more cos
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- it doesn't sort of exactly... - No. £50 was it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37Believe me, I've drained every last drop out of this deal, Ian.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Let's buy this, at least let's buy at least one...
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I think it's a good idea, Nick. Let's get this one.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44At least it starts the ball rolling.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK. Shall I go and seal the deal? 50 quid?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49At last, your first item in the bag, Reds.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51How are you finding the shopping?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's harder than you think. Much harder.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57We are really struggling to find the things that leap out and grab us.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00There are plenty of things but they're at a price
0:13:00 > 0:13:02we don't think we'd able to make a profit at auction.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Yes, that's the big problem. - Yes, that's the difficulty.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06No-one said it was going to be easy.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08With one item apiece,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11time to leave the teams shopping whilst I go off fishing.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24Norway is the land of fjords, fishing, mountains and glaciers.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28And since the time of the Vikings,
0:13:28 > 0:13:33Norway has always produced distinctive jewellery.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37And what modern jewellery is more distinctive than
0:13:37 > 0:13:40that of David Andersen?
0:13:40 > 0:13:45This little brooch has terrific charm and style.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50He founded his company in Oslo in 1878,
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and for over 100 years,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56this family company was world-famous
0:13:56 > 0:14:01for its standards of craftsmanship and design.
0:14:01 > 0:14:07It dates from about the 1950s, and is made of gilded silver.
0:14:07 > 0:14:13The body has been segmented into bands of enamel,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17just like little coloured glaciers.
0:14:17 > 0:14:22Now, enamelling jewellery is a complicated process,
0:14:22 > 0:14:28where powdered glass is fused with metal at high temperatures to
0:14:28 > 0:14:32create this high gloss finish.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Little islands of contrasting colour dot the body
0:14:37 > 0:14:42and a single eye gazes quizzically out at us.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46And what is better than one David Andersen fish brooch?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Two David Andersen fish brooches.
0:14:51 > 0:14:57Now, these brooches are sold together for £160.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00There is a substantial discount there,
0:15:00 > 0:15:05because I would expect to pay £100 for each one.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I could quite happily
0:15:07 > 0:15:11see this little Nordic shoal
0:15:11 > 0:15:13swimming on my lapel.
0:15:21 > 0:15:26Now, with only 25 minutes remaining on the clock, both teams still
0:15:26 > 0:15:28have two items to find.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Are you into vintagey stuff at all?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Yes, I like vintage stuff. - What, clothes as well?
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- I don't know too much about clothes.- No.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I think that coat there's quite cool, isn't it?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41I mean, at any self-respecting rock concert you could wear that,
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- couldn't you?- I could wear that, yeah.- How much is that?- 85.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- I think that's a really cool thing, that.- Yeah, you can wear it, Phil.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Wear it? I couldn't get in it! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:49 > 0:15:52Right, Blues, time to get your heads together.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I'm worried, because this all started wonderfully well.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Five minutes, first buy, bang! Home and hosed.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00And now we've bought nothing.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I wonder if the Reds are having any more luck?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04195? Gosh!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I know, it's not going to do it for us, darling.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08That's a no, then.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Take 100 off it.- That far out?- Yeah.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Right, Blues, your next item is well overdue.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18So you like that?
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- Yes, I do.- Which is a WMF. It's a German factory.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- And that's £275. - We've got good taste.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Do you think they could do it for 70?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30- THEY LAUGH - You can try.
0:16:30 > 0:16:35- That's nice. That's very Art Nouveau.- That's lovely.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Liberty's. It's Tudric. Liberty's, yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40Archibald Knox, and the price is?
0:16:40 > 0:16:42Right, I'll swiftly put that back because that is £500.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44I was going to say, it'll be over 300.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Time for a reality check for the Blues.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Meanwhile, over with the Reds, Ian has spotted a novelty watch.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53It's early '50s, Hopalong Cassidy,
0:16:53 > 0:16:56he was quite a famous TV star at the time.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59And it's unusual, I think, to find it with its original box like that,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02and even the saddle and the pommel and everything with it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04So the watch sits on the saddle, on the saddle stand,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07and then you've got the actual outer case there with it as well.
0:17:07 > 0:17:1145, they are asking for it and it's not working.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I think we need to get a closer look.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Michelle is on her way with the keys to the cabinet.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22There we are. Let's have a look at this.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Wow.- It's been worn quite a lot, because the strap's got quite worn.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- It's been loved, by the looks of it. - But...
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Down to price, isn't it?
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Whoever is selling it has been very honest to say it's not working,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34which is a real shame.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- 35 would be the very best.- Oh.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I don't think there would be anything left at it at auction.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41No meat on the bones at that price?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I was hoping you would be able to say 25.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47- That's nearly half price. - Perhaps we could meet in the middle?
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- He said £30. Would that be doable? - Yeah, I think that would be OK.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53It's the most I'd want to pay, but, yes, OK, thank you.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57Are you happy with this? You have a deal. Thank you so much for that.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01- OK, so, two items bought. - We can go and hopalong off now.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06No time for joking around, Ian, you only have 15 minutes left.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10But the Blues still have two pieces to find. Come on, Phil!
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Time to have a word.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13So you quite like Liberty and Tudric
0:18:13 > 0:18:16and all that sort of stuff? So what about a tray?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18And you just happen to have one?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- It's just one I made earlier.- A magician.- What do you think to that?
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Do you like that or not? It's Tudric.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- The thing is, he said we can have it for £18!- Really?- Wow.- OK.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33- Is it stamped?- It's stamped Tudric, look. Tudric pewterware.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34- I think that's quite stylish.- Yes.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37But what I think it means is, I don't mean to buy that
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and the postage scales because then we'd be a real mean team, aren't we?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- And I would like us to be a little bit more generous than that.- Yeah.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47So would you prefer that or the postage scales?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49What do you think? Probably...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52You're going to say this and you're going to say the postage scales.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Not again.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- You like this, we'll go with this.- The price is good.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- That means I have to buy it. - So whose hand do we shake for that?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Well, we'll just grab hold of that. Now we've got to go
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and find something else now, so come on.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06You've got your hands full today, Phil.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08That's two items each team, 12 minutes left.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- You've got a hat, I'll try. - I've got a hat.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12- What?- No.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15There seems no sense of urgency with the shopping.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Right, ladies, what's the plan?
0:19:17 > 0:19:18We've got our eye on something else.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think Phil's got his eye on something else that
0:19:21 > 0:19:23he'd like us to buy, but we'll see.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25We've only spent £48.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27We've got to break the three figure barrier.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30It's just a question of finding something that they like.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31(They are mean, aren't they?)
0:19:31 > 0:19:34That was part of their tactics, though, Phil.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Has Nick found your final item, Reds?
0:19:37 > 0:19:43So we've got a pair of really unusual brass stools
0:19:43 > 0:19:46with this fantastic Middle East Persian design.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50I really like this sort of cut-away articulated piece underneath.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52If you could put, sort of,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54hot coals or something in there to warm yourself up.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57I think these have got a bit of mileage, you know.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59And there's actually, there's a second one,
0:19:59 > 0:20:01so we've got a matching pair, haven't we?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03We have indeed. One each, really, for you two.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05THEY LAUGH
0:20:05 > 0:20:09And actually, they're identical, but if one looks in detail, this
0:20:09 > 0:20:13has the remnants of red enamel in it and that one's blue enamel.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16My, you certainly know your stuff, Ian.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19They could be around about 50 quid-ish for the pair.
0:20:19 > 0:20:20Something worth thinking about.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I'll try and see if it passes the seat test.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27- There we go. Actually, they're quite comfortable.- Comfy?- They are.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Really?- They are quite comfortable. - I tell you what, Ian,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32you come and sit here, face me.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Now, what we've got here is a pair of Bargain Hunt book ends.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- How about that? - THEY LAUGH
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- So, what do you think, guys. Comfy? - I like it now I'm sitting on it.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- You look like you've fallen out. - THEY LAUGH
0:20:46 > 0:20:47They are quite fun!
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- We'll go tandem. Stay there, darling.- Oh, sorry.- That's tandem.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Now, what are you thinking? At 50 quid. Would you buy these?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I think just as an occasional couple of chairs,
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- or stools that you can put somewhere in the house, yes.- Well, OK.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- Do you like them enough to put a bid on them?- Yeah.- I think so.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- No more than 50.- 50's your limit? Your absolute max?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Well, you best pop off and find Michelle.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11With eight minutes to go,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Craig is here to help Phil's team find that final item.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18I think these ladies, they want a make-a-statement piece.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21What have you got that might just fit the bill?
0:21:21 > 0:21:22But I've got to warn you...
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- WHISPERS:- They're mean. They are very, very mean.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- How about the Lalique? - Oh, that looks lovely, doesn't it?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31And it's a great name, it's a great name to have in your sale.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- It's the best name, isn't it? - Certainly in glass it is.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Ah, I think Mr Serrell has a cunning plan.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Now then, Nick, you were aiming for £50 on those stools.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41How did it go?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43I come bearing news.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- Yes, yes, yes. - Right, you've got good news
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- and you've got better news. - Oh, right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50The good news is she said yes and the better news is you've finished!
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Yes!- We've got three items.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Well done, Reds. Shopping complete.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58Blues, you have one item left to find.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Time to present your case, Mr Serrell.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05Who is the best name when it comes to glassware?
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- Lalique.- Lalique.- This game's easy.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09I don't know why I'm messing around now, really.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- It's too expensive, though, Phil. - Really?- Yeah, very expensive.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Can I just have a little look, please?
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Oh, that's lovely.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Well, it's lovely if you just hold her up to the light, look.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25- She's lovely, isn't she? - And this is fairly modern, isn't it?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27Well, it's definitely post-'58, I think,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29when they dropped the R from the R Lalique signature.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Which is Rene.- Exactly. - So why did they do that in '58?
0:22:32 > 0:22:33It was to do with his death.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Almost as a mark of respect. - Exactly that, yeah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Right, so it's just got Lalique there, look.- So it's stamped.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Lalique, France. And this would have sat on a lady's dressing table?
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Yes, for rings or pins. - Rings, yes.- So how much is it?
0:22:44 > 0:22:48- 95?- Oh, Lalique. 110.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- How much is it? - THEY LAUGH
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- What do you expect?- You're good, aren't you? You're not bad, either.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04- So what would you pay for that? - I'd like it for about 45.- 45?
0:23:04 > 0:23:05No chance.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'll say 65 because I'm quite generous.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10There's mean and there's just...
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Just real mean.- So what would you take for it, that's the real issue!
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- I'd like 80 for it. - But what would you take for it?
0:23:16 > 0:23:22- 70, but that's the end.- OK.- Hm. - You like it?- Definitely. I love it.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Well that's, home and hosed, isn't it? Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27Thank you for finding it for us.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Time's up, teams. Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38First up, this steel and brass fleem set them back £50.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Their next buy was the Hopalong Cassidy watch.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44They paid £30.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49And finally, it was a pair of brass and enamel stools costing £50.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54- Ian, Denise, did you have a nice time?- Great.- We did.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Oh, who was the boss?- Ian was.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59THEY LAUGH
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Ian, tell me, what was your favourite item?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05The little Hopalong Cassidy Timex watch.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07It was a fun little early '50s thing.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10I just hope somebody out there remembers Hopalong Cassidy himself.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Denise, what was your favourite item?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15I liked the two stools.
0:24:15 > 0:24:16I think they are a good buy,
0:24:16 > 0:24:20and I'm hoping that they are going to bring in a lot of profit.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Right, so you think they are going to make
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- the best profit of all your items?- Yes, yes.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- I'm going to stick my neck out and say I think they might.- Right.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31How much did you spend in total?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Only 130.- That leaves 170... - It certainly does.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37..which you have to now hand over to me,
0:24:37 > 0:24:39so that I can hand over to Nick.
0:24:39 > 0:24:43- Thank you, Anita. - Nick, that's quite a lot of money.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47- Have you got anything in mind? - Absolutely nothing, no.- Oh, dear.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50It's a lot of money, and I'm going to have a good look round and find
0:24:50 > 0:24:54something I think a bit quirky or unusual for my fun team here.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57Well, let's check out what the Blues bought.
0:24:58 > 0:25:04Their first buy was the silver plate hip flask. They paid £30.
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Next, was the pewter tray which cost them £18.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13And finally, the piece of Lalique glass set them back £70.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Mary, Karen, did you girls have a good time with our darling Phil?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Yeah, we had a brilliant time. - Yeah, we did.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25- What was your favourite item? - I think it was the piece of glass.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29- It's the Lalique.- Will it make the best profit, though?- No.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32THEY LAUGH
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- I think it's going to be the tray. - What's your favourite item?
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Do you agree?- Like Mary, the Lalique's my favourite.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41It's really beautiful. But I think the tray'll make the most profit.
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- How much did you spend?- 118.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49Well, that means that you hand over to me £182.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- There's 180, and 2.- And 2.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57Phil, that is a lot of dosh for you.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00That's a year's wages in Worcestershire, that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I've been taught to be careful, eh?
0:26:03 > 0:26:08- We've got a wee Scots canny woman here.- Aye, be canny.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11You said that you liked a specific area of antiques.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14I'm going to see if I can find something that might just...
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Ah, I know.- Fit your little bill.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20I'm sure you'll buy something wonderful, Phil.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23But right now, we're off to the auction.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I've headed west to Billingshurst
0:26:29 > 0:26:33to meet Will Pasfield from Bellmans Auctioneers.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Will, it's lovely to be here. - Good to see you.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Well, let's have a look at the Reds' items.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Now, this fleem here is a pretty gruesome old item.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47A lot of people think that they were for letting blood on humans,
0:26:47 > 0:26:52- but actually it's for animals, mainly.- So it's a rural instrument.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Yeah, it's a fairly rural instrument and then you'd
0:26:54 > 0:26:57actually use a fleem hammer, which we don't have with it,
0:26:57 > 0:26:59and you'd put the blade on the vein and you'd...
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Don't tell me any more, Will, don't tell me any more.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03- I'm a city girl.- OK.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06But it has a good age about it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Yes, it's got a good age to it, but as you've just touched upon,
0:27:10 > 0:27:14some people couldn't even bear hearing about it or holding it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Other people think it's a wonderful piece of history.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- What's your estimate? - My estimate is £20 to £40 on it.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- Well, they paid £50. Have they paid too much?- Maybe a little bit.
0:27:25 > 0:27:31- Now, Ian was determined to get a watch.- Right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34We thought he might get some beautiful Victorian or
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Georgian piece, but he got Hopalong Cassidy.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Tell me about that.- I like it.
0:27:41 > 0:27:46The original books in the 1920s, and then the TV show in the 1950s.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50This is the merchandise from the '50s. It's novelty.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54Novelty is good and it's got its original box and packaging.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- What's your estimate?- My estimate on that is £20 to £30.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Well, they've paid £30 for it, but they have a chance.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05- They've got every chance.- Third item. A pair of brass stools.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10I think these are very attractive. They're decorative. They're clean.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I wouldn't fancy sitting on them for a great period of time.
0:28:13 > 0:28:14They're a nice pair.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It's about as good as I can say for them, though.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- The fact that they're a pair. - Estimate on the pair of stools?
0:28:19 > 0:28:21£30 to £50 for the two.
0:28:21 > 0:28:27- They paid £50, so they could get there.- They could.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28I know you'll do your best.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Yeah, I'm not going to guarantee anything on that one.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Well, they may or may not need their bonus buy.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36But let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Denise, Ian, you spent £130.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46You left Nick with 170.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- Did you spend it all, Nick? - No, I didn't, actually.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I was quite frugal. Now, it was a bit of a tough shop
0:28:52 > 0:28:54and I thought we might need a hand.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57THEY LAUGH
0:28:57 > 0:28:59What do you think? Do you like that? Nice to meet you.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02It's the bidder's hand.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Yeah. Keep bidding, keep bidding, keep bidding!
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Obviously, it's an artist's model. And that's what it's for.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10For studying human form.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13And they are quite popular and decorative,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and people like them and collect them. It's not an old one.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- How do you do.- Very well, I hope.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21So you didn't pay a lot for it, then?
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- 15 quid.- Well done.- 15! - How about that?- Well done.- Yes?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Happy with that?- A very good price...- Is that worth a hand?
0:29:28 > 0:29:30I'll give it a thumbs up. Thumbs up.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35- Thumbs up for that. Thank you. - Good.- So, you both like it?- Yes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37But you don't need to decide just now.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Wait until your other three items have been sold.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45But in the meantime, let's find out if the auctioneer thinks Nick's
0:29:45 > 0:29:47model will make a handy profit.
0:29:49 > 0:29:56Nick has bought this rather interesting handy object.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59It's an artist's model of a hand. Tell me what you think about it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00Um, I like them.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Wonderful objective look at, wonderful objects to play with.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05Sadly, not a lot of age to it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08The Victorian ones can command huge prices,
0:30:08 > 0:30:11many hundreds of pounds. However, it's just a nice thing.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- It's a bit of fun, isn't it?- It is.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- What's your estimate on this item?- 20 to 30.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Nick only paid £15.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- We should turn them a profit on that.- Well, that's it for the Reds.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25Let's take a look at the Blues' items.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30First is the little hip flask. Now, tell me, what do you think of that?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32I like the hip flask.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Always a welcome sight out on a day's sports somewhere.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Not silver-mounted. It's only silver-plated.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41And a lot of people tell me that they prefer the ones in
0:30:41 > 0:30:43leather cases, etc, because, obviously, you could risk
0:30:43 > 0:30:46having it smash in your pocket, which wouldn't be very good.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49But nonetheless, I like it. It's there, it's not broken.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Estimate on that? - 10 to 20.- 10 to 20.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Well, they've paid £30 for it so they might be
0:30:55 > 0:31:00a wee bit short on that one, but still a nice item.
0:31:00 > 0:31:05Next is this Tudric pewter tray. Arts and Crafts.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- Do you like the Arts and Crafts? - I do like the Arts and Crafts.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Tudric as well is a very good name to have.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14You could associate it with Liberty's as well.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15It probably did come from there,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17but it's not stamped, so we can't say that.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Look at the divine handles.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Every part of the surface has been hand-hammered.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27In Glasgow, we love metalwork,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31probably because of our industrial past. But I like that type of thing.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- Tell me your estimate.- 10 to 20.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Well, they paid £18, and I don't think that was
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- a lot of money for that. - No.- I can see a profit there.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44- Their third item here, a piece by Lalique.- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Karen and Mary both loved this, and who can blame them?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- The best of names when you're talking about glass.- Yes.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Post-1945 because it's got the etched signature in there.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Originally, this was sold as an ashtray.- Right.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01A very fancy ashtray.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03These days though, it's probably better as a pin tray,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05a ring tray, etc, etc,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07because obviously we're not allowed to smoke indoors.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09It's the type of thing that I can see sitting
0:32:09 > 0:32:12on a lady's dressing table and you put your wee bits,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14your rings, your earrings and so on.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17- What is your estimate? - The estimate's 60 to 80.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20They've paid £70, so I think they've done well,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22and they should make a profit on that.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24They may not need their bonus buy,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:27 > 0:32:33Karen, Mary, you spent a wee £118,
0:32:33 > 0:32:35- were you being a bit careful there? - Yes, a bit miserly.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- We were being cheap. - Oh, you were being cheap.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42You were being cheap. However, that allowed you to give Phil
0:32:42 > 0:32:46a magnificent £182.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- Phil, did you spend it all?- Ah...no!
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- I spent 50 quid. Are you ready for this?- Yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- What's that?- What's that?- It's an apple corer?- An apple corer.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01No, I'll show you exactly what it is.
0:33:01 > 0:33:02This is lignum vitae,
0:33:02 > 0:33:07which is the only wood that doesn't float and this is a 12 bore...
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Shotgun.- ..chamber cleaner. - Oh, OK.- So there we are.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12- You hold that and you hold that. - Thank you.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15So this is for cleaning the chambers of your 12 bore shotgun.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18It dates back, I would think, to that sort of Edwardian era,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21which was the golden age of English game shooting.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23So it's a real collectors' piece.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Now, it cost me £50. It's a gamble.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29If there's two collectors here, it can make £80 or £90.
0:33:29 > 0:33:34- If there isn't, it can make 25 quid. - Girls, do you like a gamble?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36- I love a gamble.- No, I'm Scottish.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39THEY LAUGH
0:33:39 > 0:33:42- That's why we go together so well. - I don't like wasting money.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48Well, Phil's buy was this shotgun bore cleaner.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53He's a country man as well so this type of thing is something that
0:33:53 > 0:33:55would appeal to him. Does it appeal to you?
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Yes, I do like it, it's for a 12 bore.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Probably the most popular gun used in sport.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Anyone who's got a nice gun round here and you want to take
0:34:04 > 0:34:05good care of it,
0:34:05 > 0:34:07it's just for cleaning the ball bit where you put your cartridge.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Wonderful piece of wood. You can feel it in your hand.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14- It's quality.- It's tactically interesting as well. I like it.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- What's your estimate?- £20 to £30. - Well, Philip has paid £50.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Has he paid too much?- He's probably paid at the top end of it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23You know, if it had Purdey
0:34:23 > 0:34:26or Boss & Co written on it, then we'd be laughing.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30It hasn't, so he's going to give me a bit of work on the rostrum to do.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32- You're taking our sale today? - I will be.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Well, I'm looking forward to that.
0:34:36 > 0:34:3935 on the left now. Who's got £40 anywhere else?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- Have you been to an auction before? - Uh-huh. Yes, yes, we have.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Oh, so you're old auction hands. - I wouldn't say that.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49First item is the brass fleem.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51You paid £50 for it and the
0:34:51 > 0:34:54auctioneer's about to sell it right now.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Lot 306, a Victorian steel and brass fleem with the
0:34:57 > 0:34:59three folding blades.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01And who's going to start me off at £10?
0:35:01 > 0:35:0210. 15.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04And 20.
0:35:04 > 0:35:05No, it's 15 in the middle of the room.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Looking for 20 now somewhere else.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09It's in the middle of the room at £15.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13If you're all out, selling them, at £15.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- That's a wee bit disappointing. - That cut deep, guys.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- ALL:- Ohhh!
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Well, that's minus 35,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24but the next item is your favourite, wasn't it?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27The Hopalong Cassidy watch.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Do you think anybody can remember Hopalong Cassidy?!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Ah, yeah, well, there's an example of this watch
0:35:32 > 0:35:34in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35It's one of my favourite lots.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38This is the child's novelty Hopalong Cassidy wristwatch with
0:35:38 > 0:35:40a nice original box as well.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44And I've got three bids here, take me up to 15, 20, 25, 30, 35,
0:35:44 > 0:35:4540, £45 bid.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Who's got 50, now? Who's got 50?
0:35:47 > 0:35:4950, I see, and 5. And 60.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5260 has it. Do I see 5 anywhere? 5, anywhere?
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Gentleman seated at £60.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- '5 from anyone?' - £60! Isn't that wonderful?
0:35:57 > 0:35:58£60. Are we all done?
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Selling for £60...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- Oh, yes.- You have doubled your money.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Well done.- That's what I like.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Oh, that is excellent.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10So that's plus 30.
0:36:10 > 0:36:11You have almost
0:36:11 > 0:36:13eliminated the loss you made.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14Oh, gosh.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Your last item is this lovely pair
0:36:16 > 0:36:19of brass and enamel decorated stools.
0:36:19 > 0:36:23- Paid £50.- Bids here up to £20.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Do I see the 5 anywhere? 5, 30, 5, 40, 5.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28No, £40 still with me.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Looking for the 5 now. Are you all out?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Then, it's with me at £40. It's fair warning.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34It's on the commission at £40.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36All done at 40.
0:36:36 > 0:36:37- 40.- Never mind.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Ah, minus 10. What a shame.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42I thought they would go further than that.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44That brings your total to minus 50.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48Now, that's not bad. Are you going to take the bonus buy?
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Nick paid £15 for it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53- I think we've got to try and recoup our losses somehow.- I think so.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56So if he felt it was good, I think we should have a go at it.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- You're going to. You're sure about that?- I think it's fun anyway.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Are you both in agreement?- Yes.- Are we in agreement?- We're in agreement.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04You're both in agreement. The auctioneer has estimated it
0:37:04 > 0:37:05- at 20 to 30.- Right.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08So we've got a chance of a profit.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Artist's articulated softwood model of a hand and a wrist.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Start me off at £10, please, everyone, for this. 10 is bid.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Do I see 15 anywhere? 15?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19And 20? And 5.
0:37:19 > 0:37:2025?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22And 30?
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- It's 25 on the left.- Come on!
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- One more. One more.- Selling for £25.
0:37:29 > 0:37:3425, 25. That's a profit of £10.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36And that's pretty good.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38So you made the right decision there.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40And that takes
0:37:40 > 0:37:46your overall to minus 5.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- Just a fiver. Just a fiver!- That was so close!- Oh, you are nearly there!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Well, Karen and Mary, here we are at the auction.
0:37:57 > 0:38:03- Have you been to an auction before? - No.- No.- No, never? It's exciting.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07It's a piece of theatre. And we are part of the cast.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- We are.- Today we are, yeah.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13Your first item is that little silver plate hip flask.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16You paid £30 for it, is it going to make a profit?
0:38:16 > 0:38:19We'll find out right now.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Lot 332 is a silver plate-mounted glass hip flask.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I've got three bids here and I come in at £15.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I'll take a 20.
0:38:26 > 0:38:2820, I see. Looking for 25 now.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29Let's move on. 25, anywhere?
0:38:29 > 0:38:3122, anywhere, then?
0:38:31 > 0:38:3222.
0:38:32 > 0:38:3325.
0:38:33 > 0:38:3428.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36And 30. 32.
0:38:36 > 0:38:3835.
0:38:38 > 0:38:3938.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40And 40.
0:38:40 > 0:38:4142?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43No, he says. It's £40, seated still.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44Is there a 2 anywhere?
