0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, we're at Southwell Racecourse
0:00:04 > 0:00:05in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08There's no racing going on as it's been taken over
0:00:08 > 0:00:10by a big antiques fair.
0:00:13 > 0:00:18So sorry. You might be having a day off, but I've got work to do.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23So, time for me to saddle up and let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:47 > 0:00:52There are 200 stalls here at the racecourse and with 60 minutes
0:00:52 > 0:00:56on the clock and £300 each, will it be the Reds or the Blues
0:00:56 > 0:01:01who will be first past the post and romp home with huge profit?
0:01:01 > 0:01:05So, let's study the form. Is it going to be a close race today?
0:01:05 > 0:01:07There's fighting talk from the Reds...
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- Well, first of all, we're going to win.- Oh!- Oh, no!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13..equal determination from the Blues...
0:01:13 > 0:01:17We absolutely want to win and we want a golden gavel.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20..so, place your bets on either the Reds,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24or the Blues, on who will come out on top at the auction.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Selling at 25.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29But that's all for later.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Let's meet our teams today
0:01:31 > 0:01:36- and we've got some serious girl power here today!- Yes!
0:01:36 > 0:01:40For the Reds, we have Angie and her mum, Kate,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43and for the Blues, it's Jane and her daughter Anne.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Hello, everybody.- Hello!
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Now, Angie, you've chosen your mum to be your team-mate today.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Does that mean you're going to be a force to be reckoned with?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Absolutely, yes.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59We, my mum's a massive fan of the show and we always like doing
0:01:59 > 0:02:01lots of nice things together.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So, I thought we'd apply and have some fun
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- and generally we go for the same things, don't we?- Similar.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09We have slightly different tactics sometimes,
0:02:09 > 0:02:11but I think we'll make a really good team.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Now, Angie, after helping other people to find jobs,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16you've had a change of career yourself.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17- What are you doing now?- I have.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Up until very recently, I worked at a college
0:02:20 > 0:02:22and put lots of training courses together
0:02:22 > 0:02:24for people that are out of work.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Having two young children myself, I was finding that
0:02:27 > 0:02:30the work-life balance really wasn't working for us,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32so I'm now a full-time mum,
0:02:32 > 0:02:36plus I help my husband with his business as well, part-time.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38And Kate, what do you do for a living?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I work for a very well-known retailer,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I work on the food department.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Most people get very stressed when they're shopping for food.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Rather than shopping for clothes, which is more of a pleasure.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So, what are going to be your tactics today?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Well, first of all, we're going to win.- Oh!
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Really?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I think we'll do it all by spending lots of money, or most of it.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- However...- We'll rein her back and have some smaller items.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06We'll try and compromise, I think.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- We tend to work well together, don't we?- Usually, yes.- Excellent.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Now, that's our Red team, now for our Blue team.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Jane, tell me why you've chosen your daughter Anne
0:03:17 > 0:03:18to be your team-mate today?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Well, we get on extremely well.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24We're like two peas in a pod, really.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Erm, we don't always agree, but we're really great pals.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32You've recently retired from your own HR business
0:03:32 > 0:03:34but you're keeping yourself busy?
0:03:34 > 0:03:38Yeah, I just do a little job for a local electrician
0:03:38 > 0:03:42and I'm a chair of a local charity that raises funds every summer
0:03:42 > 0:03:46for a festival in our local community, so I really enjoy that.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50Anne, you work at your local church.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I'm the administrator for our church,
0:03:53 > 0:03:57so that involves just basic administrative stuff
0:03:57 > 0:04:00but also quite a lot of pastoral care for people who come in.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02What do you do outside of the church?
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Well, I've been singing since before I could talk, I'm reliably informed!
0:04:06 > 0:04:11And so, I trained in opera and jazz, but I'm now with a community choir.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14It's fabulous, it's about 200 of us in the choir.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17I can't help noticing you're wearing a lovely bonnet.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Yes, I'm a bit of a hat freak, so I collect hats.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24I have about 20 or 30 and I love my trilbies and my bell hats,
0:04:24 > 0:04:25I particularly like vintage.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27Right, Blues, what are your tactics going to be?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- Well, we want to win, don't we? - We do! We absolutely want to win.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And we want a golden gavel. We really want a golden gavel.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Well, girls, you'll need some money, then.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- £300 here, £300 here. - Thank you.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44- Your experts await, so off you go and very, very good luck.- Thank you.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50This should be fun. Mums and daughters, what a combo!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So, let's meet today's experts.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Aiming for the back of the net, it's Raj Bisram.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02And I'm sure the Blues will be bowled over by Mark Stacey.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, girls. What are we looking for today?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'm looking for jewellery, mainly silver.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15I'd like to find a nice vase. A glass vase would be lovely.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Crystal would be fantastic.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19And I love boxes, any type of boxes.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21I'd like some militaria, would be great.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- OK.- Vintage stuff, Second World War.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25This is going to go very well, I can see it.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Let the race begin. Your time starts now.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30HORN BLARES
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Let's go shopping.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Come on.- OK.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And they're off. Let's see this girl power in action.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Come on, then.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Are we going to be decisive? - Yes.- Hopefully.- Good.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Well, let's get the first one under our belt. That would be nice.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46It pays to be decisive in this game.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- I like that.- You like that? - A football one.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- Got lots of football fans in our... - Have you?- In our house, yeah.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Who does your husband support?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Tottenham, Everton.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59- I'm a Tottenham supporter.- Oh, no.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It's not Match Of The Day, Reds.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05It is bronze, it's not an old one, but it is a nice one.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07The Reds aren't hanging about,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09but are the Blues about to put their feet up?
0:06:09 > 0:06:12It's quite fun, it's a little child's garden seat, isn't it?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Cast metal. And I love the giraffe.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16It is, but the fact it's got a chunk out of it, I don't like that.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- You don't like chunks out of things?- No.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Right, there we are, then.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Looks like you've got your work cut out today, Mark.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Reds, how's that statue going?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Looks in quite good condition. Not any marks or anything on it?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31What is the best that you can do on it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:34I'll do 100 on it.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Could you do 70, please?- 80.- 75? - '75.'
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- What do you think, girls? I can't believe this?- Yes.- You like this?
0:06:42 > 0:06:47- Really?- Definitely.- If you're happy at 75, shake the man's hand.
0:06:47 > 0:06:48Thank you very much, thank you.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Thanks once again, lovely. - Cheers, Raj.- All the best.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Goodness me, first buy for the Reds in just three minutes.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Now, Blues, I thought you were going to be the decisive team?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01This is a jockey hat, isn't it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Well, they're quite interior design features now, these little hats.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09- They're popular at...- They are, they're very in at the moment.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- OK.- But they could be out tomorrow. - Right, so it's not...
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Shall we have a look over there?
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Trot on, Blues, but a jockey's hat could be an appropriate buy
0:07:18 > 0:07:20considering we're at a racecourse.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23I think we're going to go inside.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Go and join the Reds indoors, Blues.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28No, I was thinking those. You like your boxes, don't you?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Is this going to be a right royal buy, Blues?
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- What is it? Is it George VI? - "God save the King."
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Oh, gosh, God bless him. - And what's round the back?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- The flags and Queen Elizabeth. - Oh, and Elizabeth, yes.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50It's funny because there was a time, 1936, where we had three kings?
0:07:50 > 0:07:56- Yes. George V, Edward VIII and George VI.- Only £385.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- Well, we won't be buying it. - That's a wonderful price, my lovely.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- I'm sorry... - It's lovely.- It is, it is beautiful.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06It's certainly a wonderful price and way over budget.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Now, Reds, this £20 compact is definitely within budget.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Mother of pearl is lovely, but you always have to check for damage
0:08:15 > 0:08:18because it's not so easy to repair sometimes.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20But that looks absolutely in really good condition.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22You girls have a look at it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25See what you think, open it up. Has it got a maker's name?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Says Stratton.- Stratton.- English make, isn't it?- Yeah, well known.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Is the mirror OK?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- Yeah?- Mirror is OK.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35How much was on the ticket?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38'It's got 20 on both Strattons. That's the other Stratton.'
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So, you've got two Strattons and what could be the best for the two?
0:08:41 > 0:08:4430 for two.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45We've got a nice little lot there.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Could we twist your arm for a little less for the two?
0:08:49 > 0:08:50OK, 25.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That's brilliant, thank you very much.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- There're lovely.- I would shake hands with the lovely lady.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Thank you ever so much, thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Well done, Reds, item number two.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04With nearly 20 minutes on the clock,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07the Blues still haven't got past the first post.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10We're finding lots of things, but unfortunately,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- we're not buying anything. - I know, I know.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15- So, shall we see if we can find you something soon.- Yes.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Now, this looks like a quirky cabinet.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yes, there's some nice silver in here.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- Oh, there's lovely things in here.- I like that, a sword!
0:09:22 > 0:09:24That looks interesting. Shall we have a look at that?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26Can we look at some of them?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Can we just have a look at the sword?- Yeah, sure.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Thank you very much.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33This is quite fun. Now, what is it used for, I wonder?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Unless it's like a... - Is that silver-gilt?
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Well, it looks like silver, shall I get my little eyeglass out?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- It doesn't look like an English one to me.- Oh, right.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44I'll just try and not put my eye out.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- There is a little mark there, but I have no idea what it means.- OK.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53What I can see is I think the quality is quite nice.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- If you look at the work on here. - It's very good.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59The interesting thing is, as well, if I look again at the end.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- Yes, there's a little...- There's a little hook or something at the end.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05It's like a little crochet needle or something.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Have you any idea why that hook's in the top there?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09'Yes, it's just been professionally done
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- 'so you don't prick yourself, basically.'- Oh!
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- Oh, so it's not for any... - It makes sense.- Because if that...
0:10:15 > 0:10:16'It's very sharp.'
0:10:16 > 0:10:18It would be very sharp, it would be quite dangerous,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20even though it's only small.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22It's a quirky thing, isn't it?
0:10:22 > 0:10:26- It says of German origin.- Of German origin? Well, there we are.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I think there's something rather intriguing about that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31What would be your best price on this?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Well, the best price I can do is £80 and that would be it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- It is. - I mean, it's other sort of thing...
0:10:37 > 0:10:3875?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Unfortunately not, that's it. £80.
0:10:41 > 0:10:42I've never seen one.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45It's a gamble, everything is a gamble in life.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48But there won't be another one of these in the auction.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51- I like the look of it and I think... - You want to go for it?- Yeah.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- It's decided, isn't it? - Yes, so do I shake his hand?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think you should shake his hand and say thank you very much.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Thank you very much.- That's lovely.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Finally, the Blues have made a purchase.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Their first item, just shy of 30 minutes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So, whilst the teams carry on with the shopping,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12I want to show you something that might have you in stitches.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I'm no needle woman.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25And if truth be told, I cannot sew a button on a shirt.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31But I love textiles and I love embroidery
0:11:31 > 0:11:38and I find Victorian schoolgirl samplers particularly appealing.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41They have a naive charm about them.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45But samplers have been about since the 16th century
0:11:45 > 0:11:47and in those very early days,
0:11:47 > 0:11:52before the times of pattern books or instruction manuals,
0:11:52 > 0:11:57intricate embroidery stitches from across the world
0:11:57 > 0:11:59were displayed on samplers.
0:11:59 > 0:12:05This was a way of recording new or favourite stitches.
0:12:05 > 0:12:10They were avidly collected by professional and amateur
0:12:10 > 0:12:14needle workers and they were passed down from hand-to-hand
0:12:14 > 0:12:17and generation to generation.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22These 16th-century samplers were of the highest quality
0:12:22 > 0:12:26and some could be regarded as works of art.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33By the 19th century, samplers were used as an educational tool
0:12:33 > 0:12:40for girls and formed part of the formal genteel education.
0:12:40 > 0:12:48This little Victorian sampler was sewn by wee Jessie Miller.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Now, it's a fairly simple affair and I reckon that wee Jessie
0:12:52 > 0:12:58could have been no more than eight or ten years old.
0:12:58 > 0:13:04Her name, her home, Callender, a wee town in Scotland,
0:13:04 > 0:13:09and the date, 1840, is sewn at the bottom.
0:13:09 > 0:13:14I paid £30 for this and I fear here in the Midlands,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18that's probably all it would get.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23But if this was magic-carpeted to a place near Callender,
0:13:23 > 0:13:29its location, and sold there, it might double its money.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31And wouldn't that be so, so good?
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Back to the shopping here at Southwell Racecourse.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45We're over halfway through. So far, it's 2-1 to the Reds.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- Is the going good, Raj? - Girls are great.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51They found two things that they really like, the football bronze
0:13:51 > 0:13:54is not that old, but their family are all into football
0:13:54 > 0:13:55and they love it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57And Kate loves the compacts.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00We're having a little bit of difficulty finding a third item,
0:14:00 > 0:14:02but we're going to keep looking.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Raj seems happy.
0:14:04 > 0:14:09So, Blues, are these vases, priced at £45, of interest?
0:14:09 > 0:14:10It's always nice to have a pair of things.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15You're looking at between sort of 1910 to 1920.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17They are very much of that period.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Things were mass-produced but then coloured over by hand.- Yeah.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24And that matte black finish was quite a popular design then.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Lots of big factories did that has well.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- They're in good condition. - Well, they look in good condition.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- How much are they?- Right.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- They're a pair of Bretby vases. - Oh, Bretby?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Yes, dating to the 1920s.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41And I think there're beautiful but the very best price
0:14:41 > 0:14:43for the pair is 30.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45- 30 for the pair? - 'That's the very best.'
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- That's not a huge amount of money, is it?- No.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49- Talk to you, don't they?- They do.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And then we've spent 110, so we've still got quite a bit of money
0:14:52 > 0:14:55for our third item, and to leave me some change.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Yeah, what do you think? - Do you do 25?
0:14:58 > 0:14:59I really can't.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04I need to make a living somehow, so £30 is the bottom line.
0:15:04 > 0:15:0629?
0:15:06 > 0:15:10'No, it's going to have to be 30. I need to make something. So, 30.'
0:15:10 > 0:15:14OK, well, I was just trying. 29, no.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17OK, we'll buy them for 30, thank you very much.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Jane certainly likes to haggle. Well done, Blues.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22So, that's two items apiece.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26The race is on for both teams to find their final item.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29But who will get to the finishing line first?
0:15:29 > 0:15:32I think it's time to show my face.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36Well, girls, well, aren't you doing well?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Two items in the bag, 25 minutes to go.- That's right.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- Don't get complacent because that time will go like that.- Yes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- Well, that's told us, we better get on.- Definitely.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Yes, get cracking, blues. You're in the final furlong.
0:15:50 > 0:15:51Same goes for you, Reds!
0:15:51 > 0:15:58- Girls.- Yes?- No panic yet, but we've got just under 20 minutes left. OK?
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Let's get looking, then.- OK! - Sounds like a plan.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04Now, Blues, is this ticking a box?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06It's a tea caddy.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- You see, that's got a space for a mixing bowl.- Right.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13The larger tea caddies had two sections for green and black tea.
0:16:13 > 0:16:17And a little space for a glass bowl to mix your type of brand.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Do you mind if I pick it up? - 'Not at all.'
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- 'But see, it's had a scar.' - Oh, gosh, yes.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Things like this really put people off. It will put some people off.
0:16:26 > 0:16:30I think... Can we just come back to it, if we need to?
0:16:30 > 0:16:31Yes, of course we can.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Maybe one for the back burner, then, Blues.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38So, Kate, you're a fan of boxes. Here's one for £80.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44It's a nice thing but at auction, tops,
0:16:44 > 0:16:4630 to 50 and it could make top estimate.
0:16:46 > 0:16:4865 and that would be it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49That would be it, yes.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53I just don't think at auction... It's a nice thing.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Don't get me wrong, and it is an old one, which is really quite nice.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Ah, that's a shame, then, Reds, but before we move on,
0:17:00 > 0:17:02time for a quick hello.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Two items, that's absolutely wonderful,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- but you've only got ten minutes to go.- Oh!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10In that case, Anita, I'm afraid we cannot stop and talk to you.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13As much as I'd love to, we've got to go. We've got to go, OK?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17- The girls have been good?- They've been absolutely fabulous, fabulous.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Well, good luck.- Thank you! - We'll see you later.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- Come on then, let's get moving. - Yeah, ten minutes left, girls.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Well, I think Raj is feeling the pressure,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26but time is of the essence.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30- You still want a bit of silver, a little glitzy bit?- Yeah, yeah.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32What about this, then? This looks interesting.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- What about that there? - That's a double-ended block.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37It's rather nice, isn't it?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Blues, now's not the time to dilly-dally,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41you need to be decisive.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Reds, what's in the cabinet?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45These little silver vesta cases,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48pretty run-of-the-mail, but it depends what they can do it for.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50You best find the stall holder.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Blues, any closer to buying anything?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- What about this? - Oh, the little pillbox.- Yeah.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Well, that looks silver, doesn't it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Have a look at it, you need to buy something!
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- 'It's 1905.'- Oh, is it?- 'Yeah.'
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- That looks quite nice, actually. - It's lovely.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Now, Reds, you're running out of time.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Would this vesta case, priced at £48, be worth an investment?
0:18:15 > 0:18:21About 1920, early 1920s, it's got a couple of dents in it as well.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26- A bit damaged.- It's a little bit plain. Oh, really, no, sorry.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- No, it's all right. - No, sorry.- Got a little couple.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31It's got couple of little marks on it.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33We're running out of time and we want one more thing.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- I can do 25 on that. - Did you hear that, Reds?
0:18:35 > 0:18:39The stall offered £25. Time isn't on your side.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Same for you, Blues. What about the pillbox?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Yes, it's quite sweet, 38.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47I mean, it would sell, but it's quite light.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50- But it is reasonably priced. - The age is great.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52And it's a nice Edwardian one.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- I quite like that. - I like it as well.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Reds, have you had second thoughts about the damaged vesta case?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01We're down to the wire, it's quite a nice little thing.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- Will you go for 20 for it? - 'I can't.'
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- How about 22?- Yeah, go on, have it for 22.- 22? Are you happy with that?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- 'That'll give you a chance.' - Absolutely, yes.- That gives us a bit
0:19:09 > 0:19:12- of a chance. Shake the lady's hand, girls.- Thanks very much, thank you.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Thanks very much.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Phew! Job done.- Phew! We made it.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Come on, Blues. Decision time.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Are you buying the pillbox priced at £38?
0:19:23 > 0:19:25What is your very best on that one?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27- 'I'll do it for 30.'- 25?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29'I've got to try and make something on it.'
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- 26.- 'Oh, go on, then.'
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- Thank you very much. Thank you so much.- You have found three items.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Well done, Blues, but you've only just managed it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41That's it, teams. Time's up.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- I need to go and lie down in a darkened room.- Yes, me too.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Let's go.- Me too, thank you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51First up, Angie and Kate got the ball rolling
0:19:51 > 0:19:54and bought this football statue for £75.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Next, they're hoping to be made up at the auction
0:19:57 > 0:20:01as they paid £25 for these two compacts.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05And finally, did they strike a good deal on this vesta case
0:20:05 > 0:20:06bought for £22?
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Well, girls, you were a pretty confident team at the beginning.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- Are you still confident?- Absolutely. - We are, yes.- Oh, excellent.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16What was your favourite item?
0:20:16 > 0:20:20- The bronze of the footballers. - Oh, right?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Is that the item that's going to make the best profit?
0:20:23 > 0:20:26I don't think so, no. Possibly not.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28I think the vesta case will.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29The vesta case.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Well, those are a great favourite on Bargain Hunt.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34What about yourself? What's your favourite?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38My favourite was the two compact mirrors. Well, compact cases.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41My nan, when she was alive, never went anywhere
0:20:41 > 0:20:43without her powder compacts, so it really reminds me of her.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45So, definitely my favourite.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- Oh, will it make the most profit?- Probably not.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I think I agree with Mum, I think it'll be the vesta case
0:20:51 > 0:20:52that makes the most money.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Right, so you spent 122.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Not a huge amount, you wanted a big spend.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- I know!- So 178, please.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06And the rest, and the rest. Now, the girls wanted to spend big, Raj.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09I've got plenty of money. Let's see what I can go and find.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11Well, I wish you luck with that, Raj.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14But let's check out what the Blue team bought.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18First up, do Jane and Anne have a stab at a profit
0:21:18 > 0:21:21with this paper knife sword bought for £80?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Next up, will the birds on these vases help them fly at auction?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27£30 paid.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And finally, a profit on this pillbox
0:21:30 > 0:21:32would be the perfect medicine.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34£26 paid.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35Well, the girls, that was fun.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- You were cutting a bit fine at the end there.- We were a bit.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41We got a bit scrambled at the end.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42What's your favourite item?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46I absolutely adore the sword come...
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Well, it's not a letter opener, but it's something like that
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- and I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it.- It's beautiful.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- I absolutely love that.- But is that going to make the best profit?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57No, I think the Bretby vases is probably,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00they're the thing that's going to make the most profit, I think.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Uh-huh. And did you like the little sword as well
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- or do you have another favourite? - I did like the little sword, yes.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I quite like the silver pillbox we got at the end.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12What is going to make the most profit, in your opinion?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16- Erm, the pillbox could, I think. It could.- It's a good item.
0:22:16 > 0:22:21- It's 1905 and silver and, yeah. - It's got everything going for it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- It has, I think. - OK, you've spent £136.- Yes.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Can I have 164 of leftover lolly?
0:22:28 > 0:22:29I think she has the money.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Right, Mum's got the money, 164 to you, Mark.- How good is it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Have you an idea of what you're going to buy?- I have, Anita.
0:22:36 > 0:22:41- I've got something of quality and sentimentality, romanticism...- Oh!
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- ..and inexpensive.- Well, good luck.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46While Mark goes off to spend his money,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49we'll head off to Colin Young's auction at Bourne.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07- It's lovely to be here, Colin. - Great to see you, Anita.- Terrific.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13Now, first item for our Reds is this bronzed figure group of footballers.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14Tell me what you think of that?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I think it's a really nice item. Nice and decorative.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- There's going to be plenty of buyers.- What's your estimate?
0:23:20 > 0:23:22You're being very positive on that one.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well, I've put an estimate of £50 to £80.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27We get a lot of these types of bronzes
0:23:27 > 0:23:28sent through all the salerooms
0:23:28 > 0:23:32and so, we've got a reasonable idea of what it's likely to realise.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Yes. They paid £75.- Yeah, OK.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38So, they have a slim chance of making something on it.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39They do, yes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44Coming up next, we have two Stratton compacts and I suppose
0:23:44 > 0:23:48if you're going to buy compacts, Stratton are the compacts to buy.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50It is, it's certainly the name you want.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55It's been such a collectors' market, really, for the last 25 years.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58They make so many different versions of this.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01These we do see on a fairly regular basis, but nevertheless,
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- there'll be a queue of people that want them.- Excellent.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06What's your estimate on these?
0:24:06 > 0:24:10I've placed 15 to 30 estimate on them and I think that does
0:24:10 > 0:24:12reflect what the market's going to be.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15They paid £25, so we're sort of straddling it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- It might, it might not.- Yes.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Their third item, the little silver match sleeve.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26And although this was a bit of panic buying at the end,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30they did like it and they did think it would bring them most profit.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Tell me what you think, Colin.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I suppose if it's going to bring the most profit,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- how much did they pay for it? - SHE LAUGHS
0:24:37 > 0:24:39They paid £22. What's your estimate?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41OK, I've put 15 to 30.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44So, there's a chance of a profit in there.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48But the thing, really, with vestas is that the more desirable ones
0:24:48 > 0:24:50are the vertical ones with the flip top.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53That tends to be where the collectors go for.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56The sort of a laid horizontal sleeves, less so.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58But nevertheless, it is silver.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01It's nicely engine-turned, it's a good example.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- So, we've got a good chance? - Yeah, reasonable chance.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06- They might be right.- They might.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- So, they may or may not need their bonus buy.- OK.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12But we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Well, Angie, Kate, you spent £122
0:25:19 > 0:25:24and you gave Raj 178 smackers.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27Raj, what did you buy?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Well, I didn't spend that much money, but I bought
0:25:31 > 0:25:32a stereoscope.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- OK?- What is it?- What is it?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39It's an early photographic piece of equipment.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41You would put the slides in here.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43These lenses are for the left and the right eye
0:25:43 > 0:25:47but when you look down it, it looks like one three-dimensional image.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Is it going to make any money? - I think so.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52- How much did you pay for it? - I only paid £25 for it.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Oh, that's not too bad. - Which I think is really cheap.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- This should make £40 to £60.- Oh, OK.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It should do on a good day.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Let's hope it is. - With the wind behind us!
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- So, that's my guestimate.- OK.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You don't have to make up your minds at the moment, girls.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13But we're going to find out what Colin, our auctioneer's view,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15is of Raj's viewfinder.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- For his bonus buy, Raj bought this stereoscope.- Yes.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24A Victorian home entertainment system.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27What do you think of this, Colin?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31I think that's a really good piece of energy efficiency.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34You're not going to need to plug it in.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38And as you know, we get plenty of these through the salerooms.
0:26:38 > 0:26:43And generally, the viewers are worth anywhere between £10, £20.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48The value is always in those cards. What is the subject?
0:26:48 > 0:26:52That's the key to the value on all of these things.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Having looked at these, they're fairly mundane scenes.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58There's nothing there that's going to sort of excite the collectors.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03So with that, I've placed an estimate of the standard £15 to £30.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Raj paid £25 for it.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07I can see what you mean,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11it is a fairly simple, straightforward stereoscope.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16If it had been perhaps mahogany with inlay, more detail on it,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18we would have crept up there.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Moving onto the Blues, Colin.- Mm-hm.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24What do you think of this little paper knife?
0:27:24 > 0:27:29So-called paper knife, in the form of a rapier.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It's exquisitely made.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33You look at the rope work around there,
0:27:33 > 0:27:37the hilt in that basket shape, it's just so well engineered.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Condition of the blade is good as well.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41What's your estimate on that, Colin?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Well, estimate wise, I've only put £25 to £40 on it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46They paid £80 for it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48- Ooh!- So...
0:27:48 > 0:27:52That stirs seem a little bit steep, but I do sort of understand
0:27:52 > 0:27:54why you would do that.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56They could be lucky to make a profit on that.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I think they'll struggle, but it wouldn't surprise me.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Now, Jane collects vases.- Yes?
0:28:02 > 0:28:08She wanted to buy vases and these Bretby vases took her fancy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Do you like them, Colin?- I do.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I mean, Bretby is one of those factories
0:28:12 > 0:28:13that tends to be underrated.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16And you get an awful lot of pot, a really well-made thing,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18for really not a lot of money.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22So I hope estimate for these, which are essentially
0:28:22 > 0:28:27a standard, ovoid baluster shape, nicely hand-painted,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30a black background isn't always the most desirable of designs.
0:28:30 > 0:28:3325 to 40 is what I've put on them.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35How painful is that?
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- They paid £30.- OK.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40So your estimate is good and you can see a profit in these.
0:28:40 > 0:28:45The condition, the decoration and the shape are all going
0:28:45 > 0:28:49- for these vases, so I think there could be a profit there.- Yes.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Our third item is the silver pillbox. What do you think?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I think little is the size
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and I think the little is going to be the estimate.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01But nevertheless, let's start off with what is it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04It's Edwardian. It's hand-finished.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07I mean, it's a nice piece of workshop craftsmanship,
0:29:07 > 0:29:11which has been applied to a fairly standard model box.
0:29:11 > 0:29:16This is the one that Jane thinks is going to make the most profit
0:29:16 > 0:29:18and the one that she liked the best.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21I can understand why she likes it the best.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24The question of is she going to make a profit on it comes down to
0:29:24 > 0:29:26how much did she pay for it?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- They paid £26.- OK.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I'd put an estimate of 15 to 30 on it,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34so that sort of straddles either side of what was paid.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39So, it can go one way or the other and you're perhaps not too hopeful
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- on the little sword.- No.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45So, our teams may need their bonus buy
0:29:45 > 0:29:47and we're going to go and have a look at it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Well, well, well, girls, are you excited?- We are.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57This is the Christmas morning moment. Mark, you had £164.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Reveal all. - You're going to like this.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- Oh!- Oh, I do.- And it is romantic. - It is, it's heart-shaped.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08It's heart-shaped, it's a little lady's inkwell for a desk.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- Oh, it's nice!- And it's solid silver and it's hallmarked in Chester.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Oh, wow.- Oh, I really like it. - And it's late Victorian.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- I really like that. - I think it's absolutely wonderful.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18That's delightful.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22- Girls, you seem very enthusiastic. - I really like it.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Really, really like it.- How much? - £65.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- Oh! OK.- That's not bad, is it?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Which I think is very good, actually.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31And how much do you think it will make?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Well, if I was estimating on that at auction, I would certainly put
0:30:34 > 0:30:35the cliche, £80 to £120 on it,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38because I think it's just a lovely, wee object.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- It's delightful. It's so beautiful! - Absolutely, can I have it?
0:30:42 > 0:30:46I'm afraid not, I'm afraid not. But you seem to like it.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- We really like it. - You like the price?- Yes.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53- You quite excited about it?- That's beautiful, absolutely beautiful.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Thank you, I really like that. - You're welcome.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Girls, you don't need to make up your mind right now.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03But let's find out if the auctioneer loves it as much as the girls do?
0:31:05 > 0:31:10Now, Mark Stacey is an old romantic, as we both know.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13And he has bought for his bonus buy
0:31:13 > 0:31:16this delightful little, heart-shaped inkwell.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18What do you think? It is silver.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21Yeah, it is, and a nice, crisp example.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24With that wonderful little gadrooned rim to it,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- just adds that little bit of finesse, should we say?- Mm-hm.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30And nice-cut crystal as well, the hallmarks are good.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34- Chester Assay as well. - Yes, Stokes & Ireland.- Yes, it is.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39All these little tick boxes say this is a really good item.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40- And you like it?- Absolutely.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44What's your estimate of this delightful little item?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Very easy one, £50 to £80 every day of the week.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Mark paid £65 for this,
0:31:50 > 0:31:54so there is the chance of a reasonable profit on that.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Yeah, they've got a chance with that. I think that was a good buy.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58However romantic he was over it,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01I think he certainly had the right choice.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02Thank you very much, Colin.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Now, are you going to take our sale today?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- I will be on the rostrum today, Anita.- I can't wait.
0:32:07 > 0:32:0921, 30 now do I see?
0:32:09 > 0:32:14At 120, 120, finished and going that at £120, no more.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15How do you feel?
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- Are you excited? - Excited! Yeah, very.
0:32:19 > 0:32:20You've got a packed room here.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- Have you been to an auction before? - I have.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I haven't, but you have, haven't you? My first experience.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29- First experience?- Hope it's good!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32So do I, I hope it's a good one for you as well.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34OK, your first item is coming up.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39- It's your bronze sculpture of the two footballers.- Yes.- Terrific item!
0:32:39 > 0:32:40Here it is, coming up now.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Who's going to start me at £100?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46£100 would be a low start, 100. 100 anybody?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48'80 to go then, 80. 50 if you like, 50.'
0:32:48 > 0:32:5130, £30. 30 at the back of the room,

0:32:52 > 0:32:57At 30 bid, do I see 35? Bid 40, 5, 45, 50 bid.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29£120, girls!
0:33:29 > 0:33:34That's a fabulous start and that is plus £45.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- What a blooming start.- That's a really good kick-off to it all.
0:33:37 > 0:33:42Let's hope you can maintain that with your two Stratton compacts.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Our two Stratton compacts.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46This time, one with a mother of pearl finish
0:33:46 > 0:33:49and the other with the enamel decoration.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52There we go, nice pairing, these, and who's going to start me at what?

0:34:34 > 0:34:36One more item to go.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52- '20, 2 bid, 5 bid, 28.'- Yes!
0:34:52 > 0:34:53The golden gavel!
0:34:53 > 0:34:55It's even got the matches. 28, 30.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59'2 again now? No, at £30 bid.'
0:34:59 > 0:35:002 now, may I say? At £30, are we all done?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Straight in front of me here. 2 now do I see at £30?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05All done at 30.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06- £30.- Yes!
0:35:06 > 0:35:10That's plus 8, which takes you to a total
0:35:10 > 0:35:15- of 63 in profit!- Brilliant.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19Isn't that absolutely wonderful? Wonderful, wonderful.
0:35:19 > 0:35:24- Unbelievable, yes.- Girls, are you going to take the bonus buy?- No.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- No. Sorry!- Are you sure?- Yes! - I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Well, Raj paid 25 and I can tell you that
0:35:31 > 0:35:35the auctioneer estimated it at 15 to 30.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38And it's coming up right now.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41What shall we say for that? Who's going to start me with a perfect bid
0:35:41 > 0:35:43at £50? 50 anybody? 50, 50.
0:35:43 > 0:35:4730 will do, then. £30 anybody? 30. Anybody got me 30?
0:35:47 > 0:35:49'I'll take 20 to go, then. 20 and 10.'
0:35:49 > 0:35:5110 bid, 10. I'll make it at 12 bid,

0:36:02 > 0:36:04'the back of the room, selling at 25.'
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Thank you.- £25!
0:36:07 > 0:36:11- There are no losses made on that. - No.- There were no losses made.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- But you decided not to take a chance.- We did.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17But you're at plus 63!
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- What a wonderful score! - I'm so pleased.- Well done.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- Thank you very much.- My pleasure. - Are you happy, girls?- Elated.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30I think what we want you to do is calm down a wee bit.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33You can't go out there with a big smile on your face.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Don't say anything to the Blues.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43OK, girls, this is the moment,
0:36:43 > 0:36:47this is the moment when all your lovely things will be sold.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51- Have you been to an auction before? BOTH:- Once.- Once, did you enjoy it?
0:36:51 > 0:36:55- Yeah, it was good.- Well, you're going to enjoy this even more.
0:36:55 > 0:36:59- Tell me how you feel. - I'm questioning everything!
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Are you getting a wee bit worried now?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04I still love everything we bought, but I am now,
0:37:04 > 0:37:06I'm hoping everybody else loves it too.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12Your first item's coming up, girls. It's that wonderful little sword.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16White and yellow metal paper knife, it's modelled as a cavalry sword.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18It's absolutely exquisite work,
0:37:18 > 0:37:21who's going to start me at £100 for it? 100, 100?
0:37:21 > 0:37:2380 to go, then, surely?
0:37:23 > 0:37:24£80, anybody? 50 to go, then.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26'50, everybody got me 50?'
0:37:26 > 0:37:2950. 30 will do. £30, 30.
0:37:29 > 0:37:30Come on!
0:37:30 > 0:37:34£20? £20, come on, ladies and gentlemen. £20 for it.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36- It's so beautiful. - 'And 10 to go, then, surely?'
0:37:36 > 0:37:3910, 12, 15, 18, 20, 2? No?
0:37:39 > 0:37:40£20 down here.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42'2, surely? At 22, surely?'
0:37:42 > 0:37:46But 20 is here, surely. Coming back? And £20 bid, 22 from Russia.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49- 22 from Russia!- '28 now, 28 bid now.'
0:37:49 > 0:37:53Quickly now, 28 bid. 30, do I see? 30 bid.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5432 now do I see?
0:37:54 > 0:37:58No, at £30, the bid's in the room now. £30, are we all done?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00'2 from anywhere else?' Selling then at £30.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Oh.
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Oh, that was so disappointing.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Well, that's minus 50, girls.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10That's a big chunk, but you've still
0:38:10 > 0:38:13got two to go, so let's be positive.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Let's be optimistic!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Your next item, a pair of Bretby vases and Jane,
0:38:19 > 0:38:21you love these, you collect vases.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Let's see if the bidders love them
0:38:23 > 0:38:25because they're coming up right now.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Wonderful pair of Bretby vases there,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30decorated with birds, insects and also apple blossom.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33There we go, who's going to start me at 50? £50, anybody? 50?
0:38:33 > 0:38:3640 to go, then. £40. Anybody on 40.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38'30 to go, then, surely? 30.'
0:38:38 > 0:38:4020 if you like, then. Who's first in? £20.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43£20, not going to go any lower, surely? £20.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45'Come on, ladies and gents,'
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- £20 for Bretby.- Oh, dear.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50'I can go lower, if I'd lower the seat.
