0:00:04 > 0:00:07I'm in Edinburgh today for the antiques and collectors fair.
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Do you think I've got everything I need for a classic Scottish show?
0:00:10 > 0:00:17A haggis - a must, shortbread - my favourite, a little Westie terrier -
0:00:17 > 0:00:20so cute. But there's something not quite right.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Ah.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27That's better. I actually come from Scottish stock
0:00:27 > 0:00:31and this is my family tartan - Anderson.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Now I'm dressed for the part, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02I've travelled a few miles outside Edinburgh for today's fair.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We're at the Royal Highland Centre, which is brimming with goodies.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Our teams have £300 and one hour to find those bargains.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11So let's see what lies ahead.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17Things get a bit weird for the Reds.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- It's weird. - It is weird.- You like weird.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Weird's good.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23The Blues are in the pink.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24Gorgeous.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Wow.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And there is drama at the auction.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Shut the front door.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33£400.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36That's it. You've done it, you've done it.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38So, more of that later. Let's meet our teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We've got two pairs of really sporty mums and daughters.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44So, for the Reds, we've got Sandra and Helene.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47For the Blues, we've got Mary and Rosemary.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- Hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Right, let's meet the Reds.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Sandra, so you're very well travelled and you're going to
0:01:53 > 0:01:54- be moving to Japan.- I am, yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Yes, with my husband, yes.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59And tell me, do you speak any Japanese?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Well, I've been trying to learn the odd phrase that might come in useful
0:02:02 > 0:02:05- while I'm over there. - And have you got any?
0:02:05 > 0:02:06I've just got the one.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Bargain Hunto ni yuko.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Which means, "Let's go Bargain Hunting."
0:02:11 > 0:02:13- That's brilliant. - I think it will be so useful
0:02:13 > 0:02:15when I'm in Okayama downtown.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18But you've moved around a lot with your husband, is that right?
0:02:18 > 0:02:19We have moved a lot. Yes.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Helene was born when we lived in Holland, and then five years ago,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25we moved to Hong Kong for four years.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28We had a great time there, it was fab. Absolutely fab.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30We said you were quite sporty, but you're really sporty.
0:02:30 > 0:02:35I've played squash all my life. And so for ten years or so, I played for
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Scotland, for the over 35s.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39You played squash for your nation.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Absolutely.- Now, Helene, tell me, you have a rather interesting job,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- don't you?- Yes, I am an animal keeper at a safari park.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Right. I'm thinking of lions, tigers.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Not quite so big. My section is known as Pets Farm,
0:02:53 > 0:02:57so it's more of a domestic section, but we do actually have a couple of,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- well, scarier species as well. - Tell me about the penguins.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Do you have a love-hate relationship with them?- Yes.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I absolutely adore the penguins and I have no idea why.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08They're mean, they bite, they smell.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11They sneak up behind you and deliberately get you right in the
0:03:11 > 0:03:14back of the knee where they know it's the sorest.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17And what they do is they bite, they hold on,
0:03:17 > 0:03:20they twist and they flipper slap you at the same time,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23which is really quite funny, but not when it's happening to you.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25So, what are your tactics going to be?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28We might do a little bit of haggling and try and knock the price down.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Being in the street markets in Hong Kong we used to,
0:03:31 > 0:03:33you always try and get the best price.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35What about you, Helene, are you good?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I'm a good haggler as well, but even if I really want something,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41if Mum says no, she's said no. She's normally right. So...
0:03:41 > 0:03:42- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45That's a good lesson to learn, mums are always right.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Right, to the Blues. Mary and Rosemary, hello.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- BOTH:- Hello.- So, you're a keen jogger, is that right?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Yes. I started jogging in 2003 with
0:03:55 > 0:03:58a JogScotland group and we started
0:03:58 > 0:04:00doing one-minute walk, one-minute jog
0:04:00 > 0:04:02and then we gradually progressed to
0:04:02 > 0:04:05doing 5Ks, 10Ks...
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Now, you're also a bit of a keep fit fanatic,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11but you've sort of slightly raised the bar, haven't you? Tell me.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Yes. Well, I've always kind of ran, just like my mum,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17but I've just started doing triathlons.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20So I hear you had a bit of a calamity on your first triathlon,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- tell me about it.- I did, I bought the wrong wet suit
0:04:23 > 0:04:24and it was too thick.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28It was very heavy and I was told afterwards that I should have really
0:04:28 > 0:04:31sank, but I lived to tell the tale. So I won't make that mistake again.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Absolutely. So obviously super fit to keep yourself afloat.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37So, there's going to be no issue with you running around the fair,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39but what are your tactics?
0:04:39 > 0:04:41I think I'll listen to my mum,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43cos she's quite good, she's got a good eye.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I like the fact you're both going to listen to your mothers.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Yeah.- But before all of that, I must give you some money.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52So, Sandra, I've got £300 for you here, there you are, thank you.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I think the mums are in charge this time.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- I think they are.- Thank you. £300 for you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Off you go, meet your experts!
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Two very competitive teams.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03I think it's going to be a fast sprint to the finish line.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Our keen teams meet two super keen experts.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13Batting for the Reds, it's Ben Cooper.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18And all glammed up for the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Loads to go out here this morning,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22so what are you going to be looking for?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24I'm going to hopefully get a lovely teapot.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Right, have you got any idea what you'd like to buy?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29There's so much stuff, I don't know where to start,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32but I'd quite like something big, physically big and useful.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36I think a Chinese-style vase or some nice jewellery. Bit of bling.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I like the sound of that.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Helene.- I just want something a bit animal-y.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Well, we've got the whole fair in front of us, we've got an hour.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I spy some bargains, teams. Your time starts now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49HORN BLOWS
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Let's head off and see what we can find.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Our teams have strong ideas on what they want.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59A large, useful Chinese teapot would be very popular
0:05:59 > 0:06:01or some animal-related bling.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04No problem. Seek and you will find.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09It looks like the Blues know how to get ahead.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Oh, now, is this your size, Mary?
0:06:11 > 0:06:12- It might be, actually.- Really?
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- I've got a very small head. - Oh, you have. Oh.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16THEY LAUGH
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Don't let your brains get over sort of melted down by it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- It's too late.- Just start...
0:06:21 > 0:06:25You'll be fine, you'll be fine. Just focus in on the kind of things that
0:06:25 > 0:06:28just take your fancy to start with. It'll get easier.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32While the Reds try not to get overwhelmed,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34the Blues have already found some silver.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Have you got any Scottish silver by any chance?
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- Scottish...- Yeah.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42This is an interesting thing.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's a Cunard Line, Glasgow.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Cunard Line?- Cunard.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Compacts are quite a buoyant collectors market.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54The first thing about this one that strikes me is you've got a lovely
0:06:54 > 0:06:57bevelled edge to the mirror there and it's a good-sized mirror.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So you could actually use it today,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- have it as a little piece in your handbag.- Yeah.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05So it's silver, and then you've got a little gold cartouche there and
0:07:05 > 0:07:09- a little gold... - I've got my mum's special...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Oh, is that a magnifying glass? - Yes, it is.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Fantastic. Well, you'd better examine it, Mary.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Over to you.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- What does the initials say? What initials are on them?- DMA.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- So it's somebody's initials. - Yeah.- Somebody's little monogram.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So would that put somebody off?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Well, you know, it's a matter of taste, I always think.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30With a box of this sort of age, which is, what, 1910?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Maybe 1920?- 1920.
0:07:32 > 0:07:331920 with the Cunard Line.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35That's part of its history,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38it belonged to somebody with those initials, and for me,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- it doesn't bother me, personally. - How much is it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:46- Probably below your budget. But about 150.- Is it?- Oh.- Oh.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That's quite a lot of our budget. But I have to say,
0:07:49 > 0:07:54it is a quality thing and it would've been retailed by one of the
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Cunard Line ships as a souvenir, I guess.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Could you go down to 100?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- 130 would be the death.- 130.- 130?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07OK, so that's a possibility.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09What else have we got here?
0:08:09 > 0:08:13So that's a maybe. It's a quality item and quality costs.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15While they look for other options,
0:08:15 > 0:08:19it seems the Reds have spotted something rather exotic.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20Wow.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- What is it made of?- Right...
0:08:24 > 0:08:26It looks like it's a type of gourd -
0:08:26 > 0:08:30in other words, a big fruit which has been hollowed out. And I'm going
0:08:30 > 0:08:32to hazard a guess at South East Asian,
0:08:32 > 0:08:33something like that.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- It's unusual.- What do you think of it, Helene?
0:08:35 > 0:08:36It's all right, it's weird.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- It is weird.- I thought you liked weird.- Yeah, weird's good.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Oh, wow.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43It's strange.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I can't tell what's inside, if it's like mould.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48It's probably had something foodie in it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Right, OK, let's put it down.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Move on. Thank you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56Helene thinks it's a bit weird, which means it's a definite maybe.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Back to the silver stall, something else has caught the Blues' eye.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04It's nice, I think it's probably Continental, is that right?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- Yeah.- Continental silver, it's probably around 1900 in date.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11It's typical of these little sort of watches that were made in
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Switzerland or in Europe.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16I think it's French.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- French.- Yeah. It's got the little French,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20I'm pretty sure, silver mark.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The thing to watch with these little pocket watches is that the enamel is
0:09:23 > 0:09:26in good condition. You often get little fractures if they get
0:09:26 > 0:09:29dropped, this is in lovely condition.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31And you've got the little fob pin in there too,
0:09:31 > 0:09:33so you could wear it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- How much is that?- That can be £38.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- 38?- Can you do it for any less than that?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Yeah, yeah.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Call it 30.- 30. - Do you like that, Rosemary?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Yeah, what do you...?- Do you think we'll make a profit on it?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Is that what you're worried about, Rosemary?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah, I'm just thinking, at auction,
0:09:50 > 0:09:52do you think that would be something that would go?
0:09:52 > 0:09:57I would put an estimate on that of £25 to £40.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02£28? Cos that would give us a profit, maybe, if it's between that.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- Do you like it, Rosemary?- I do. Yeah, I do like it.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I think it's in beautiful condition, like you say, Kate, so...
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- I can do 28.- Pardon? - I can do it for 28.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- I think we have to go for it then. - Yeah. That could be our first item.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16- Yeah.- You happy?- Yes, I am happy.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Great. We'll do it. Thank you so much.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21These girls are not hanging around.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Ten minutes in and they've bagged a bargain.
0:10:24 > 0:10:29Meanwhile, the Reds have found something close to Helene's heart.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30I like pigs.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33First time my mum ever took me to a petting zoo as a child,
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I leaned over the side and screamed, "I want to kiss the pigs,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- "I want to kiss the pigs!" - It was a Vietnamese potbellied pig.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42But this is no ordinary pig, it's useful too.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I've no idea what it is, but technically, it does have another
0:10:45 > 0:10:47purpose, because there's a hole in it.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49So I don't know what it's good for.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51- What's the price on it? - 85 for a pig.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- 85.- He's quite a sweet little piggy, though.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56He's cute, I'm just checking to see...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Check for condition. As it's ceramic,
0:10:58 > 0:11:02it damages so easily, and any damage knocks its value.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03It looks OK.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07If you look underneath, there's actually a registration number.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11So the registration number will date it to around about 1900, and with
0:11:11 > 0:11:14further research, you'd be able to find out which potter it is,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16but I think it's a nice thing.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18What do you think it was used for?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22I suppose you could use it for bits and bobs - a posy vase,
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- pop your pens in them. - Are you liking this, Helene?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- It's cute, but...- I think £85 is...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Yeah, he's not £85...
0:11:28 > 0:11:31So I think you could have a conversation with the dealer
0:11:31 > 0:11:35and just see what he might be prepared to do on it.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38£85 for a pottery pig is pricey,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42so let's leave them to negotiate and see what the Blues are up to.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44They've gone big.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46You said you wanted a pair of Oriental vases, Mary,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50you've picked the biggest in the whole place.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I do love them.- They're what's known as famille rose, with these pink
0:11:54 > 0:12:00flowers that really stand out at you, but bit of damage and £350.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- Yeah. I know. - Rosemary, I'm whisking you away.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Come on.
0:12:04 > 0:12:09That's a big price for the vases, time to move on.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11So how are the Reds getting on with that pig?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It seems he has a friend.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I'm just wondering if they'd be more sellable as a pair?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- But then that's a lot of money. - That's a lot of money for a pig.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25- I could do the two of them for 110 for you.- 110?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27That be any help to you?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29I think that's being very generous, to be honest.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Shall we go with that, Helene? - If you're happy.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- I'm happy, I'm happy. - You're happy.- May I shake your hand?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Great.- 110. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41The deal is done. Hopefully, two little piggies are better than one.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45The Reds have their first buy after 14 minutes
0:12:45 > 0:12:47and the Blues are being lured by yet more silver.
0:12:49 > 0:12:50It's a really unusual shape.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54I mean, you see these lovely little silver evening purses and a little
0:12:54 > 0:12:57ring on the top you'd put your finger through,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00so you could carry it, you know... Put my glass down.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04..you could carry it on your finger as you were going out.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06You've got lovely engraving on here.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I like that a lot. It's quite stylish.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11When does that date back to?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- What date?- The date line's on it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Oh. Is it? - Shall we have a look at the inside?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Peek inside and see.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Oh, wow. That's lovely. - So that's lovely.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- So you can put your pennies in. - You could.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27You could probably even fit a tiny lipstick in there if you were lucky,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29- if it was a slim one. - I would need that.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- I would need that for my lipstick. - Just have a look at the price again.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- Yeah.- 160.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38Would you be willing to put it down to 100?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- Would 100...?- No, I can't come down as low as that.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46- I could do 140.- Shall we have a wander round and think about it
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- and then maybe come back later? - Yeah. That's fine.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52These girls certainly have expensive taste.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54That's one to think about.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- Onwards, ladies.- Yes.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Onwards and upwards.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02What on earth have the Reds found now?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04This is a poffertjes pan.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08In Holland, they have these tiny little pancakes called poffertjes,
0:14:08 > 0:14:11and you buy them on a stall, a market stall, something like that.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14And you put your pancake mixture in every one and it
0:14:14 > 0:14:17puffs up, and then you put them on the pan, and then you sprinkle them
0:14:17 > 0:14:20with icing sugar and you eat them with a little cocktail stick.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22So a bit like a little drop scone, that kind of idea.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Scotch pancakes kind of thing. - They're tiny, delicious pancakes,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but so much better than a pancake could ever be.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Poffertjes are just lovely.- You're getting quite excited about it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- I am, actually. I do. - Don't take all of them...
0:14:33 > 0:14:34It's quite nice to have something which is
0:14:34 > 0:14:37actually a bit personal about your world, isn't it?
0:14:37 > 0:14:38- Yes.- Yes. I do like it.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41You were born in Holland, weren't you, Helene?
0:14:41 > 0:14:43- Yes.- And, of course, it's made of copper,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46it's a really good conductor of the heat and a really even conductor,
0:14:46 > 0:14:51but copper, the taste of it, will taint the food.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53So that's why you then have it lined.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56It looks like it's a kind of zinc lining,
0:14:56 > 0:14:59because it won't taint the food and also it won't tarnish in the same
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- way as the copper. - What's your price on it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- 30.- 30?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Yeah, no.- Can you do any better than 30 on it?
0:15:07 > 0:15:12We were thinking down to 20, really.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13- Is that too much?- Yeah.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Maybe meet in the middle at 25.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17What do you think, Helene? I love it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I like poffertjes, I'm totally biased.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21You're having a little poffertjes moment?
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Yeah.- We are.- They're delicious.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25You see, in this game, we all learn something new every day,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- and now I know what a poffertjes pan should look like.- Yes, yes.
0:15:29 > 0:15:30- I think we should do it.- Yeah.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Do you want to shake the man's hand this time?- Yeah, go for it.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Go on, Helene, shake the man's hand.- £25.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:15:38 > 0:15:39So that's a deal.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42They have their second buy in just 24 minutes,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44and they've bought with their hearts.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46It's quite nice to find things which are more personal
0:15:46 > 0:15:50rather than just always hunting for the profit and the usual names,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53something completely different. So, yeah, I'm a happy bunny.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55So what are the Blues up to?
0:15:55 > 0:16:00They're not spotting any teapots yet, but that looks rather smart.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's quite a striking colour, isn't it?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- Yeah, it's quite unusual. - Strong colour, isn't it?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08So, is that a jewellery box and people keep their...?
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Well, I don't know, I would've said it's a glove box, actually.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13- Really?- Originally, yes.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- That's quite unusual.- Yes, well,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18in the days when gloves were de rigueur,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21if you like, it actually wouldn't have been that unusual,
0:16:21 > 0:16:26because fine ladies would want to keep them in immaculate order.
0:16:26 > 0:16:27What age do you think that is?
0:16:27 > 0:16:32I would say it is Edwardian.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Look at these silver mounts, I would say it's French.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36What is it made from? The actual...?
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I think it's a lacquer. And I'm just going to get my glass on it. Yeah,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43because it's essentially wooden underneath.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46And then very much in the Chinese method -
0:16:46 > 0:16:48they were very good at lacquering things -
0:16:48 > 0:16:50it's been lacquered with this lovely sort of almost like
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- a thick varnish.- I really like that.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55I actually like that as well, yeah.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- We're in agreement. - THEY LAUGH
0:16:57 > 0:17:00It's bright, I like bright colours.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Shall we see how much it is?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- What's the price tag, Mary? - Let's have a look.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- 70.- OK.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Well, £70 is probably a fair, you know, retail price.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14What's the best price you can do on this?
0:17:14 > 0:17:15May I see the price on it?
0:17:16 > 0:17:18It has 70 on it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:1965.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- Maybe a wee bit more. - 55 is all I would go to.
0:17:24 > 0:17:25Any more?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- 50 at the least.- 50 at the least.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31- OK.- You wouldn't take 45 for it?
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Just to seal the deal?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36My absolute lowest is 45.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- OK.- Has that clinched it then?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Yes.- That's lovely, thank you very much.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45'Wow, who would've thought it. Mary drives a hard bargain.'
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Lovely.- I'm pleased with that.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The Blues have caught up and are proving to be a formidable team.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55They're really making some great joint decisions and I think they're
0:17:55 > 0:17:57really weighing up what they're spending.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00They've got two great objects which they both really like,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03so we're on a great course at the moment.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07It's just whether we can maintain that course and get a third really
0:18:07 > 0:18:10nice object. So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12So while the teams continue their quest,
0:18:12 > 0:18:14let's take a break
0:18:14 > 0:18:17as I have something rather intriguing to show you.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Well, I don't know about you,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30but I love to start the day on a really good breakfast.
0:18:30 > 0:18:36I have toast, marmalade, good cup of tea, read of the paper,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40and I certainly love an egg, but what could enhance my breakfast?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Well, I may have something here.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46What is it? Is it a napkin ring?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48It's in aluminium, it's not that heavy.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50What function does it serve?
0:18:50 > 0:18:53How could this enhance my breakfast?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54Let's have a look.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00What a stylish egg cup this is.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03And I've not only got one, I've got four.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06So a whole family can have a fabulous breakfast.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Designed in the '70s, it looks very, very space age.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15You might be surprised to discover that egg cup collecting is extremely
0:19:15 > 0:19:18popular. There is a term for collecting egg cups, and that is
0:19:18 > 0:19:20called pocillovy. So,
0:19:20 > 0:19:24what do you think a collector would pay to have this very fine,
0:19:24 > 0:19:29modern design egg waiter on your breakfast table?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Well, you might be surprised to find out.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35At auction, this is valued between £50 to £80.
0:19:35 > 0:19:41That's an extremely good price to pay for a cracking breakfast.
0:19:51 > 0:19:52Time to get back to our teams.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54We're just over halfway through
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and they both have one item left to find,
0:19:57 > 0:20:01and it looks like the Reds have found something off their wish list.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- You wanted something big.- Yes.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06What about a trunk? I actually quite like this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07When you look at it...
0:20:07 > 0:20:11And these would have been taken on long journeys,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14people had them for schools, etc, etc.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18It's had a life, you can see it's got these nice brass fixings
0:20:18 > 0:20:21to help strengthen the wood. And there's a bit of repair on it,
0:20:21 > 0:20:23but it's been around a bit.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27You've got stickers where charges have been paid for excess luggage.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28We've got Dundee.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32On the ends, we've got Swiss sticker,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35London Victoria from Lausanne.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So it's had a bit of a life.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Yes.- And when we look in here,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42it looks like it's all still fully fitted.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46We've got the tray, which lifts out.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49This is something that people can use, it's something quirky,
0:20:49 > 0:20:51it's a conversation piece in a room.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54It's big and it's weird and it's quite ugly, so, yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- I'm happy with that.- I thought you were going to say it's like me.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- My mum. Bit weird and a bit ugly. - Cheers.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I like the way that everything... So long as it's a bit weird,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04a bit big and a bit ugly, you're quite happy.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07How much do you think that would make at an auction?
0:21:07 > 0:21:09They're a funny thing. They can either bomb completely,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12but I've seen them make in excess of 100.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Cool.- Well, if you ask the dealer, we can find out...
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Helene, your turn.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Helene is off to investigate the price.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23It's the lady over there.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27Meanwhile, the Blues are getting glammed up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Gorgeous.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I'm not sure that's one for the auction.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33So what's the news on that trunk?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Right, Helene, how have you done?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Well, she says 90 to begin with, I've got her down to 65,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42but that's the best she can do.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- That's not bad.- 65's not bad.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46No, it's not bad.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- What do you think?- Hmm...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- I'm aware...- It's your turn.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Your turn, the light is on you.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I'm aware there's a lot of the fair we haven't seen yet.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59We still have plenty time left.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Right, we've got 15 minutes left, so we've got to use that time wisely.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Let's head off and see what else we can see, but remember,
0:22:06 > 0:22:07we've still got this here.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- So let's head down and see what we can find, OK?- OK.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14That's a good plan. You might as well see what else is out there.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Meanwhile, are the Blues heading for a decision?
0:22:19 > 0:22:21So, quick conflab.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25We've seen the little silver purse, we've seen the lovely compact,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- any thought?- I like the compact. - You like the compact?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Yeah, I actually do like the compact.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31It's got a lot of history behind it.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Why don't we walk that way
0:22:33 > 0:22:36and just see if he can do anything more for us?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- And check out the bag in the passing.- That's a good idea. OK.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Let's go.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44So it's down to the compact or the bag for the Blues,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48and after a bit of a mooch around, the Reds are getting decisive.
0:22:49 > 0:22:50Make a decision, girls.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52- Helene. - We'll just go and get the trunk.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Yeah?- Yeah.- Happy with that? - Happy? Let's head down.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57They know what they want.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So while the Blues hunt down their final item,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02will the trunk still be there for the Reds?
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Battle through the crowds, we've probably only got about five minutes
0:23:06 > 0:23:10left. It's still here. Are you still both happy?
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- Yes.- Yes.- Well,
0:23:11 > 0:23:14let's bring the lady over and I think it's time to shake her hand.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- For £65?- Yes.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19'The trunk is in the bag and that's their final purchase,
0:23:19 > 0:23:20'with time to spare.'
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Right, girls, we're done. Are you both happy?- BOTH: Yes.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Are you sure?- Yes.- Right, fantastic.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Three things brought, fitting all your different requirements.
0:23:29 > 0:23:34- I think we can go and put our feet up. Let the Blues sweat on.- OK.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36So with less than a minute on the clock,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38which item have the Blues gone for?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41Can you do anything else for us on there?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44'Looks like it's the compact.'
0:23:44 > 0:23:49- 120.- 120.- 120? - I can't go any lower...
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Ladies, let's bite the bullet, let's go for quality.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yes. Let's do it.
0:23:53 > 0:23:58They finished where they started. The compact is their final buy.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Well done!
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Come on, teams.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Reel it in, your time is up.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05We've done it. Well done.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06It's high-fives all round,
0:24:06 > 0:24:09so let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14These two Victorian pottery piggies are off to market.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Cost - £110.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21The Dutch poffertjes pan could rustle up a profit.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23It was a mere £25.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28And the canvas steamer trunk surely has some tales to tell.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It was £65.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33So I hear that was rather fun.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34- That was fun.- It was really fun.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Tell me what was your most favourite item.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39My favourite item was the poffertjes pan we found.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42- The what?!- Yeah, I think me and Mum are possibly the
0:24:42 > 0:24:45only people in the entire fair who know what a poffertjes pan is.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47What's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50On a good day, hopefully our little piggies.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I think the trunk will do the best.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53So how much did you spend?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- £200.- £200, that's a brilliant amount of money.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Who's got the dosh?- Mum does.
0:24:58 > 0:24:59That's easy. £100.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Thank you very much. Ben, there you are. £100.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Thank you. - What are you going to do with that?
0:25:04 > 0:25:08Well, something possibly with an animal theme, but who knows?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11When I head out there, I could just change my mind and spend it on
0:25:11 > 0:25:13something completely different.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Well, while Ben goes off on safari,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:25:18 > 0:25:24The stylish Blues bought the classy ladies' fob watch for £28.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30The elegant 19th-century glove box was £45.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37And, finally, the refined Cunard silver compact was £120.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- So, Rosemary, Mary, was that fun? - That was so much fun.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46- It was really, really good fun. - Had a great time.- We were on fire.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48We didn't have any major disagreements, did we?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- No.- No.- It was all smooth as glass.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Now, Rosemary, tell me, what was your most favourite item?
0:25:55 > 0:25:59I love the compact mirror, because it was stylish,
0:25:59 > 0:26:00but also had a story behind it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Come on, Mary, what was your favourite item?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05My favourite item was the box.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Now, tell me what's going to bring the biggest profit, Rosemary?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11- I think the fob watch. - Fob watch. What about you, Mary?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13- I think the box...- You think the box?- I think so, because...
0:26:13 > 0:26:15The box is winning for you, isn't it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's something that's going to be attractive to everybody.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20In total, how much did they spend?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Well, we spent £193.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Kate, well done.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Not bad, hey?- Really well done.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Right, who's got 107?
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- £107.- So I've got... There's a £2 coin and loads of notes.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38Kate, there you are. There's £107. What are you going to do with that?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Well, we have got a little bit of a feminine theme going on, I think.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43- Yeah.- I'm going to stick with it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Oh, good.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48So while Kate goes off and finds a bit more girl power,
0:26:48 > 0:26:50we're off to the auction.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01So here we are in the big country
0:27:01 > 0:27:04in Glasgow at Great Western Auctions
0:27:04 > 0:27:06with auctioneer Anita Manning.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Welcome, Thomas, it's absolutely lovely to have you here.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Now, let's start with the Reds.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15We've got Helene and Sandra - mum and daughter.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Their first item were these little oinky-oinks, piggy wigs.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23I love these from the tips of their curly tails
0:27:23 > 0:27:26right down to their snouts.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I think they're fabulous, they are full of character,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31they are full of humour.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32What's your estimate on these?
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Estimate on those - £100 to £200. - £100 to £200.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40I think that is a very good estimate, because they paid £110.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Right, onto an item I know nothing about - a poffertjes pan.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46What do you know about this?
0:27:46 > 0:27:52It's a visually interesting object as well as being functional.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55It brings character into the kitchen.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56So what's your estimate?
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Estimate on that - 20 to 40.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Not a lot, Thomas, not a lot.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03I mean, they knew what it was and they paid £25 for it,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07but I can't really miss their last and third and final item.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11They seem to be all the rage at the moment. These trunks.
0:28:11 > 0:28:18Well, luggage and trunks are becoming part of interior design.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19The modernist flats,
0:28:19 > 0:28:23the loft apartments will have something like that in it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It's a good one of its type.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27So what have you put on it?
0:28:27 > 0:28:2980 to 120.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Ooh, £65 paid by those two girls.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- 65.- They're a bit clever, aren't they?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37I'm hoping our bidders go for it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42Hopefully. They'll have the bonus buy to fall back on if they need to.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Let's find out what it is.
0:28:45 > 0:28:51Helene and Sandra, you had £100 which you gave to the wonderful,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53fabulous, very clever Ben Cooper.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Ben Cooper, what did you spend that £100 on?
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Well, I wanted something with an animal theme,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00because you like animals.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01So what I found was...
0:29:03 > 0:29:06..a brooch. A wonderful gazelle.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07It dates to the 1950s.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's Danish.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- Danish jewellery is really hot at the moment.- Yes.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15And it's by the designer Hansen & Andersen,
0:29:15 > 0:29:17which is one of the top makes.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21So if you look on the back, you can see the mark under there
0:29:21 > 0:29:23is stating it's silver. So there you go.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25What do you reckon I paid?
0:29:25 > 0:29:29I am hoping that you paid £20 to £30.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Oh...
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Well, I think I'm going to burst your bubble - I paid 35.
0:29:35 > 0:29:36- 35.- That's not bad.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- That's not so far away. - I didn't waste it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41No, no, no. And what do you think it might fetch today?
0:29:41 > 0:29:46I would reckon that it should get towards three figures.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47- Really?- Wow.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51It could be. You're in two minds, aren't you?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Well, you don't have to make that decision now.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56But for the audience at home - here's what the auctioneer thinks.
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Here it is.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Rather handsome silver brooch.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- What do you think about that? - Lovely wee brooch.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10Well, Danish has that wonderful 20th-century Scandinavian design,
0:30:10 > 0:30:15but this is perfectly in keeping with today's taste.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17So what's your estimate on that?
0:30:17 > 0:30:1960 to 100.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Well, I think Ben has played a blinder - £35.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25He has a chance of profit on that.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27He does, doesn't he? Well done, him.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Right, let's see what the Blues have bought.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32We've got Mary and Rosemary.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Their first item is a Swiss ladies' fob.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Well we see plenty of these in auction.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43The thing about this one is the condition is perfect.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45It's a nice little item.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47- What's your estimate?- 30 to 60.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Well, £28 paid.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51- Well done, them. - They just hit the right price.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Their next item is the glove box.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56That is just sumptuous.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I love it.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03And I love the fact that it has a locking mechanism.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Of course it would have been expensive,
0:31:05 > 0:31:10handmade gloves and you would have put them in this beautiful French
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- ooh-la-la box.- It is ooh-la-la.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14- Ooh-la-la.- I love it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- What's your estimate? - I've put 60 to 100 on it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Right. £45.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Well, I did like it.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Good, good. And their third item, their final item, they chose was...
0:31:26 > 0:31:28We see a lot of these compacts, don't we?
0:31:28 > 0:31:29What do you make of this one?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Well, this is a wee Rolls-Royce of compacts.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36This was retailed by Edwards of Glasgow...
0:31:36 > 0:31:42- Oh, really?- ..who sold luxury and high-quality items.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45So I loved the fact it's come home.
0:31:45 > 0:31:46It's come home.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48OK, your estimate.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51100 to 150, and I may have over egged it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Because you love it. - Well, they did pay £120 for it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- It seems a lot of money. - They could be in a sticky moment.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01It could be sticky on that one.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02So they may need their bonus buy.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05So it's a good time to have a look at it.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Mary, Rosemary.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Hi.- You left £107.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Kate, what did you do with that £107?
0:32:14 > 0:32:19Well, ladies, we've gone all-out and what I've got you is...
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- Oh, wow. It's lovely.- You like?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26- It's really glam.- Well, it is, of course, a compact.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29But it's quite a fun compact, because it's compact powder.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33We've got the lipstick case on the outside and, actually,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36in compact world, it's known as a party case,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38which I think is a great name.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- Yeah.- But this one is particularly nice.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It's got a great name attached, and this is one of the best names in the
0:32:44 > 0:32:46business - it's the name of KIGU.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51And if I open it up, you can see the mark on the inside there.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53It's all exactly how it should be
0:32:53 > 0:32:55and this has got the quality that you would expect.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58How much did it cost you, Kate?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00You're straight in there, aren't you, Mary?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03She wants to get straight down to business.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Well, it cost...
0:33:06 > 0:33:08I had to haggle hard.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10£37.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- That's nice.- So how much do you think it'll make at auction, Kate?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17I can see it making 50, maybe £60.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- You like it.- Yes, we do.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23But remember that decision doesn't have to be made now.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- I think we've made it already. - THEY LAUGH
0:33:26 > 0:33:29No, you haven't. You wait!
0:33:29 > 0:33:32But for the viewers at home, here's what the auctioneer thinks.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Kate's gone out there and she's bought something
0:33:36 > 0:33:39which I think rather suits me. THEY LAUGH
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- What do you think of that? - Oh, it's great.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44This is all about post-war glamour.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47If a girl was carrying that to a party,
0:33:47 > 0:33:49she wouldn't need anything else.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51No, she wouldn't, would she?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53So, with that in mind, what's your estimate?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- Estimate - £40 to £80.- £40 to £80.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Kate's been very clever - £37.
0:34:00 > 0:34:05£37, well, I'm hoping that we can make a profit on that 37.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08- So you're in charge today, Anita? - I am, Thomas.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- I think we'll do all right, then. - I'll do my very, very best.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14In fact, I think we'll do better than all right.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21With you, sir, at 30.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Helene and Sandra, is this your first auction?
0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Yes.- Is it? - I've been to a cattle auction.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27You've been to a cattle... Slightly different.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Little bit slower.- I'm a bit more wound up for this one.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Are you? Can you control your mother?- Not a chance.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37Right, now, the first item is your pigs.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40You paid £110 for them and they're up now.
0:34:40 > 0:34:45And I can start the bidding at £50.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09All done at 120.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12120...

0:35:18 > 0:35:20£25 paid. It's up now.

0:35:47 > 0:35:4840 it's sold.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50That's superb.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52That is a £15 profit.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54Well done.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58So you're plus 25 and your next item is the green canvas,
0:35:58 > 0:36:00wood-and-leather-bound travel steamer trunk.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02It's a really good lot.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You've paid £65 for it.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06It's coming up now.

0:36:34 > 0:36:37Now, that's great. You are plus, at the moment, £30.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41You have got the £30 profit that is in your hand.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Now, what are you going to do? You've got the decision to make.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Are you going to go with Ben's bonus buy?
0:36:46 > 0:36:50That lovely, fabulous Danish brooch for £35?
0:36:50 > 0:36:51I think so, yeah.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- I love it.- You love it?
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- And I trust Ben.- You like it. - Fingers crossed.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58Start me at 30.
0:36:58 > 0:37:0330, 30 bid with you, madam, at 30.
0:37:03 > 0:37:04Don't go quiet, don't go quiet.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Come on!- This doesn't go towards the gavel, does it?
0:37:07 > 0:37:0940. 50.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13Any advance on £50? Any advance on £50?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15£50.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Yes! £50. Well done.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20That's a £15 profit.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Your grand total is £45, but Helene,
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I need you to look after your mother. OK?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- I'll try.- Because at the moment, not a word to the Blues.- No.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Mary, Rosemary, are you excited?
0:37:36 > 0:37:37- Yes.- Is this your maiden auction?
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- It is.- Really?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- It is indeed. - You seem quite centred.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45- I'm quite nervous. - We watch it a lot on telly.
0:37:45 > 0:37:50OK. Right, now, your first item was that fabulous Swiss fob watch.
