0:00:02 > 0:00:05Today, we are in the market town of Leominster in Herefordshire,
0:00:05 > 0:00:06and in the centre of the town, stands the
0:00:06 > 0:00:10Priory Church of St Peter and St Paul,
0:00:10 > 0:00:12which dates to the middle of the 12th century.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15BELLS CHIME
0:00:16 > 0:00:18These bells are used for calling
0:00:18 > 0:00:21the people of Leominster to prayer, and today, they're used for
0:00:21 > 0:00:23calling the Red and Blue team to town,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25so let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Leominster is a
0:00:55 > 0:00:59small town with a population of just 11,000 people.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But it's big on antiques, with shops lining the streets.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Our contestants will be spoilt for choice,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06but how will they get on today?
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14There's fighting talk on the Red team.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17We've gone straight from amble, quite liked it to...
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- ANGRILY:- ..now we've got to really nail somebody!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23There's disarray on the Blue team.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Where's he gone? Dexter!
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Where has he gone?
0:01:28 > 0:01:32But it's smiles all round when it comes to auction.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34This is incredible!
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Yay! Profit!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39This has been a nice sale then. And done, thank you.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42But before all that, it's time to meet our wonderful teams today.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44And talk about level pegging,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47because I'm surrounded by four men who are all friends,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51all very similar in age, and all here to do some Bargain Hunting.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- Hello to you all. ALL:- Hello.- Hello.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Let's start with our Red team today, Robert and John.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Now, Robert, I'm going straight to you.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Tell us how you guys know one another.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We've worked in the same company for nine years.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I'm main production manager, drawing maps and books.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07And John's in the research team.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09And in the same company, and we're just good friends.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Good mates, good pals, that's what it's all about.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Now, you're a bit of a fitness fanatic too?
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Yes, we both go to gym
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and this is how our love of Bargain Hunt came about.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19We watch it at the gym.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Does it sort of spur you on when you see people doing well?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Does your heart rate go up and does it slow
0:02:23 > 0:02:24when they're doing badly?
0:02:24 > 0:02:27When there's a bargain, I can row as fast as I can, and
0:02:27 > 0:02:30when someone doesn't do too well, well, you know,
0:02:30 > 0:02:32I just hit the running machine, a little jog.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34But how good are you at collecting antiques?
0:02:34 > 0:02:37I used to collect a lot of marbles when I was younger.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And I like the colours of the marbles, so something colourful
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and something interesting, that's what I'm looking for today.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- And hoping not to lose your marbles? - Absolutely.- LAUGHS:- Yes, yeah.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Let's just move swiftly on from that to you, John,
0:02:47 > 0:02:50because you also love to work out.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Yeah, I mean, I go to the gym and I run and swim,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55but I also like going to circuits classes as well.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58It's quite similar to Bargain Hunt, actually, there will be a lot of
0:02:58 > 0:03:01sweating and crying today. I hope you're prepared for that.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02I'm ready for that, of course. Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Now it's time to go in front of the nation
0:03:04 > 0:03:08and see how good you are at collecting antiques in an hour.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10We've got a plan. We've got a tactic.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13We know roughly how much we want to spend on our items,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15and how much we want to leave for our expert as well.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Well, if I were the Blue team, I'd be terrified.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So I'm going to turn to them and see their reaction.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22Dexter, Chris, are you terrified?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- No, I don't think so. Are you scared, Chris?- Never.- No.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Not fazed at all.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Now, you guys have known one another for yonks.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- Tell me, Dexter, how did you meet? - We met in school, year seven.
0:03:32 > 0:03:33About 11 years old.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Locked eyes across the room, and we've never looked back, really.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Tell me what it is that you do for a living.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I'm a civil engineer,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and I also do sort of procurement and contract management.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Oh, right, OK. Tell us what it is that you did for charity?
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Yeah, in 2008 I did a skydive for charity. A naked skydive.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- So in the nude...- In the nude. - Tell me it wasn't a tandem.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57No, it wasn't a tandem.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59THEY LAUGH
0:03:59 > 0:04:02And I don't suppose they would let a person on their own
0:04:02 > 0:04:05skydive in the nude if they weren't already quite an experienced
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- skydiver...- That's right, yeah. - ..so you've done a lot of these?
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Yeah, yeah, I've done a few before. And obviously you have to get
0:04:10 > 0:04:12up to a certain level of experience
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- before you can do your solo skydive, yeah.- With your kit off.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Exactly, yeah. Take it to the next level.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18You're a bit of a sort of bedroom DJ, is that correct?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Yeah, a little bit of a bedroom DJ, yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Yeah, for a few years, since my sort of mid-teens,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25just sort of deejaying with vinyl records
0:04:25 > 0:04:29and sort of making beats on the computer and things like that.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Yeah, it's what I do for a hobby.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, let's move on to you, Chris.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- You're quite musical too, is that correct?- Well, I play the guitar.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38I recently passed Grade 4, so I'm sitting Grade 5 at the moment.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I like blues, blues guitar.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Do you have a favourite tune that you like to play on the guitar?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- I play Blackbird by The Beatles a lot.- Oh, lovely tune.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50- Finger picking style.- Oh, cool. Oh, great. But what about your tactics?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52We need to know if you're planning
0:04:52 > 0:04:54on playing a certain way today between you.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57My father-in-law told me to spend all the money, but I'm not sure.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59I think I'd like to buy something quite cheap
0:04:59 > 0:05:01- and then sell it for a big price. - Sounds like a plan.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03That would be good for me. What about you, Dex?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Yeah, buy low, sell high.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So let me tell you, I've got something to give to you.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11First, I'm going to hand it to the Reds. It's £300 and spend it wisely.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14- Secondly, it's going to you, Blues. - Thank you very much.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15And the same advice.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Spend it wisely and off you go! And best of luck to all of you!
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Well, let's hope these boys are all best of friends by the
0:05:21 > 0:05:23end of the Bargain Hunt hour.
0:05:25 > 0:05:26Let's meet the experts.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Putting his oar in for the Reds, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37And putting his back into it for the Blues, its Mark Ashley.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41Rob, John, you guys are smart fellas, aren't you?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44You've been thinking about this. You've got a plan, have you not?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45Yeah, we have, absolutely.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48We're Bargain Hunting. What are we looking for?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I think I'm looking for something musical.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Dexter.- Yeah, some sporting memorabilia maybe,
0:05:52 > 0:05:53something along those lines.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56We're getting hard, fast, cut-throat. We're going to win.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- Hard and fast, I get. But cut-throat?- That's right, yeah.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03Right, teams, you're on the clock. Those 60 minutes start now.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04Come on, let's go!
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Let's go this way. Let's see what we can find.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Looks a good fun shop, doesn't it?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17I'm looking for something colourful. Something a little bit out there.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I've been a big fan of graphic design for a long time.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- So it's colours. It's something that is noticeable.- I love that.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27A few Royal Worcester porcelain vases, or whatever, so, yes.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34And look what the Reds have found.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- What do you think about something like this, Paul?- Everywhere.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Oh, right, OK.- Nice thing. Good taste.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43But it's not the standout example that we need.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45There should be plenty more to choose from
0:06:45 > 0:06:49in Leominster, which is bursting with antiques and curiosities.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Have a look at that! From a Vicker's Tank.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54That would be a sight, a gun sight or something?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Yeah, I would have thought so.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Now, what's caught Paul's eye?
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Check this out. The sweetheart brooch there.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- RAF. With enamelled wings.- Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That's enamelled on silver.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Not particularly rare,
0:07:09 > 0:07:14but fine, and I see no issues with the enamelling, OK? £18.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- If I saw that at £35, I'd go, "Not expensive."- That's not a bad idea.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21We're five minutes into it and there's something
0:07:21 > 0:07:23that I don't think is dear to start with.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Something to think about for now.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29So how are the Blues getting on?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I did notice this.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I think this is very sort of in, this sort of '70s-type look?
0:07:37 > 0:07:41So you see, it's got on the bottom all about it.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45It's Portmeirion, which is a place in North Wales,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48and it's called Magic City, that's the title of the design.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51And it was designed by Susan Clough Ellis.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I like the fact it's got a good sort of pedigree, you know.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56It's got all that on, which is nice. Cos it tells all about it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Now, what have we got? We've got the coffee pot, sugar, milk.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I think the interest is in the coffee set, to be honest.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04It's the shapes, isn't it? They're great shapes.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07But what's the magic number on the ticket?
0:08:07 > 0:08:1038 on the coffee set.
0:08:10 > 0:08:16And that's 16. They've put the plates separately, and called
0:08:16 > 0:08:18it a sandwich set. Might be quite a good thing?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- What do you think, Chris?- Yeah. - I don't know if we could try that
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- and see the best we can get. - I think that's...
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Shall we ask the lady and see what we can do?- Yeah, definitely.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Weave your magic, Blues. Now, how are the Reds doing?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- Anything, John?- No, not anything that stands out.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Something more ornate.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Hm, what happened to "hard, fast and cut-throat"?
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- We've got to go for the jugular now. Come on, let's...- Not necessarily.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52We've gone straight from amble, quite liked it to...
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- ANGRILY:- ..now we've got to really nail somebody!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00So, are the Blues ready to nail a deal with the coffee set?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- It's 38, so I can do that for £34. - Right.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- With the tea plates, that's 49. - Well, what would you think?
0:09:09 > 0:09:13- 40 for the whole...?- That would work.- £40.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- £40.- For the lot.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- DIANE:- And see what she can do.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20That would be lovely, thank you, Diane, thank you very much.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Already 15 minutes on the clock
0:09:22 > 0:09:26and it seems the Reds are reconsidering the RAF badge.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29This RAF brooch.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32I think we should go ahead and get this one, don't you think?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I like that, I like that a lot. I like the colours.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- OK, it's ticking that box. - I like that it's an RAF brooch,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39it's something military that I was fond of getting.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Yeah, it's a good price as well.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I just want to make sure it's not cheap for a reason.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- Tasty?- Why are you eating it? - Enamel isn't glass.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53It's cold and it's sheer. Your teeth gain no purchase on it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I think it has been subtly restored.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I think if we could get it down to like £10, £12, I think
0:09:59 > 0:10:03- it's worth a gamble, really.- I think you are spot-on.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06But I don't think you're going to get it down to 10 or 12.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07Says miserable Laidlaw.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08THEY LAUGH
0:10:08 > 0:10:12See that glass? Yeah, it's half empty.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15THEY LAUGH
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Are you going for that?- I am. I'll go solo.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- I'll get a decent price for it.- Good man.- And I shall see you later on.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22Good stuff.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24How's he going to deal? What's his style?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Yeah, I think he'll probably end up paying 21, not 18.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Oh, ye of little faith, boys.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Now over to the Blues who've been praying for good news.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39What's the verdict on the Portmeirion?
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- £46 is the best she can do.- 46.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44- Shall we have a go?- Let's go for it.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Shall we shake the lady's hand?- OK. - Go on, then, Chris.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Good luck with that. I think you stand a good chance.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Cheers.- Thank you for all your efforts, Diane.- Happy, Blues?
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- Well, the coffee set wasn't on our list.- A bit of a surprise.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Yeah, I think that was a good purchase.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Yeah, I think, yeah, potentially, it could be a bit of value there
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- and a bit of profit maybe.- I think it'll be a profit in that, yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Well done, guys.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Now, what about that RAF brooch, Reds?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Purchased.- Excellent.- £13.- You've spent our money.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- Yeah, and I am over the moon with that.- Fantastic, mate.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Cartwheels.- I'll moonwalk out of the shop, that's what I'll do.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23- Moonwalking all the way out. - First buy.- First buy, there we go.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Come on, let's get a jog on.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30You've earned your wings, and that's an item each.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34But remember, time also flies and we're halfway through,
0:11:34 > 0:11:35so keep moving.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Can I show you something that we trotted past on
0:11:40 > 0:11:42the way to this cabinet?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- You certainly can.- Absolutely. - Hm, intriguing.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46If it's still here, yes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Oh, wow. I'd say it looks like a magazine stand, maybe?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Today, you might call it a magazine rack.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- There is a term for this, and it is a canterbury.- Right, OK.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02And one would store journals, broadsheets, sheet music.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06It's in mahogany, brown ceramic and brass casters. It's datable.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- Let's say 1860. What do you think?- I like it. John?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I think it could fit in anywhere, really.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yeah, it's nice, it's interesting. Just like me.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- It's a decent old canterbury. - THEY LAUGH
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Price tag is £75.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- If we could squeeze a wee bit off that...- I like it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29- Go straight for the jugular.- What do you say? Hard and fast, jugular.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Should we phone A&E in advance?
0:12:30 > 0:12:33No casualties, please. Are you going to go for it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Definitely.- See what price we could get this for.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38- Go on, John.- There is the man we need to see.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39What have you got here?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42It's an interesting piece we have seen in your shop.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44How much are you willing to part with it?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48- Well, the price on it is 75.- OK.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- I could come down to £60.- What do you think, John?
0:12:52 > 0:12:54What had you got in mind?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We were kind of hoping about 40.
0:12:56 > 0:12:5940? No, that's too low, I'm afraid.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02OK, maybe a little bit more? Perhaps 45 maybe?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03Yes, 45.
0:13:03 > 0:13:09- 45, thank you very much, that sounds good.- All done.- Fantastic. Who knew?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, that's absolutely... What can I say? Where next?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Who knows?- Yeah, well, let's go for it.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Pressure's off a little bit now. - Yeah, that's it.- Let's go.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Let's go then.- Keep the energy up.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22We've got two decent purchases under our belt,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24and the second one had a decent price tag attached to it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26And we're doing all right.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30We've got to keep this snowball rolling and nail the last lot,
0:13:30 > 0:13:31and I'm off to do that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35That's two-one to the Reds.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Now, while the teams continue shopping, I have a question for you.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Have you ever seen a three-legged toad?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Well, I have, and I've got one right here.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53But it's not just any old three-legged toad.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Let me introduce you to Jin Chan.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02This is a sacred Chinese wealth-beckoning three-legged toad.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06Because Feng Shui dictates that this little toad here,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10when placed in the appropriate area in your home, could help
0:14:10 > 0:14:14wealth flow throughout your family
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and bring you luck and prosperity.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Why on earth does it only have three legs?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21As legend would have it,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Jin Chan was one of the wives of the eight immortals,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27and she got a little bit fly,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31and she tried to steal one of the peaches of immortality
0:14:31 > 0:14:34and for her sins, she was turned into a toad.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And not just any old toad, but a three-legged one.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42Here I have for you, a 19th-century, earthenware glazed
0:14:42 > 0:14:45plant pot, but it's a gorgeous wee thing.
0:14:45 > 0:14:51I mean, you just want to touch that nodular body cos it feels so good.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53It's not the most spectacular version of Jin Chan
0:14:53 > 0:14:56that you can get, but I love it.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You might be thinking, "What could I pick one of these up for?"
0:14:59 > 0:15:00Well, let me tell you.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05Not a lot, because you can get one of these today for just £20 or £30.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08And to think, when it comes to Jin Chan,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11the money toad, that could be money very well spent.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Back to see if the teams are spending their money wisely.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26We're just over halfway through.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30The Blues need to catch up with the Reds and find their second item.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Marching orders, Blues?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Swagger sticks.- Swagger sticks, yes.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I could see myself with one of these.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44- Just like Windsor Davies.- Sergeant major, yes.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47It must be an Irish regiment with the heart.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- But this is leather, look. - Yeah, I noticed that.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I thought at first that it was an ebonised wood but that's
0:15:51 > 0:15:55stitched leather, which I think is quite a nice thing, isn't it?
0:15:55 > 0:15:59We can... Oh, now, do you want to have a look?
0:15:59 > 0:16:01"Se...pa...ra...bit."
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It doesn't help, really, does it?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07Translated from Latin,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11that means who shall separate us? Swagger sticks were usually
0:16:11 > 0:16:16carried as a symbol of authority by uniformed soldiers right up to 1939.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20There is another one, so if we get that one and have a look...
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Yeah, let's take a look.- ..and see, now, what have we got here?
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Oh, now, this is... - Similar.- It's similar, isn't it?
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I think I prefer that one to this one.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31This looks a bit too chromey, doesn't it?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- It does, yes.- I think that looks a bit nicer.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35A bit more character.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Here's the lady.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- You found something else.- Now, we've each got a swagger stick.- Right.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43But out of all of them, we seem to prefer this one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Yes, we've got two pounds off that.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Do we get additional discount as a goodwill gesture?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I will have to phone the dealer again.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- See what the very best is, and we could go from there?- Yes.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- Right, I shall give him a ring. - Thank you very much.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I shall hang onto this.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01The Blues really need this one
0:17:01 > 0:17:04because the Reds are steaming ahead with only one item to go.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06We're going to go big now, aren't we? We've seen something we like.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08We've got a couple of ideas that we like.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10But it's now big, bold and beautiful.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13- Big bold and beautiful, like yourself?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17It's looking fantastic. Wow, that is...something else, isn't it?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- What do you think of that?- Yeah, that's your kind of thing, isn't it?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It is.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So, what's the news on that swagger stick?
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- It's better for you this time.- Oh, now, stand by your bets.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- 22.- 22?
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Good deal, I think. - Do you think we should go for it?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35- I think that fits the bill. - BOTH:- Yeah.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Thank you.- DIANE:- Thank you. Good luck.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41You've got a definite swagger in your step now, Blues.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43And look what the Reds have spotted.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Look what I found. I think this is it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I think this is the big buy we've been waiting for.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- What do you think?- I do like those. - Do you? Paul, we found these.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53HE LAUGHS
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- I like the look of them. What's your thoughts?- Doulton stoneware.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01It's fantastic. Absolutely superb.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04You've got a compressed ovoid body,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08then this really pronounced baluster neck and inverted rim.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13This impressed pattern is generally accentuated in gilt.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15I think it's a fantastic texture. I like a texture.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16I like the look of it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's certainly different. What do you think about this?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Yeah, I like them, but I think 165 is quite steep.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Is that it? 165?- Yeah, for two.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- I think we need to talk to somebody. - Shall we, shall we?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31We certainly could give it a blah and see if we can get it down.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34I'm going to get him down. I'm going to half that price.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- Yes?- I think we are.- Shock and awe.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Let's go for it.- Good luck, that man.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43MILITARY DRUM BEATS
0:18:47 > 0:18:49There's surprise news in from the front.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Having sealed the deal on that swagger stick,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Diane has a price update.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Right, some good news.- Oh, yes, Diane?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I can take another two pounds off the swagger stick.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02- That would make it 20. - That's even better, isn't it?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Well, we've bought it at 22, but if we can get another
0:19:05 > 0:19:08two as well, I think we're made up with that, don't you?
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- Yeah, very happy with that. - Brilliant!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Another two pounds to spend. - THEY LAUGH
0:19:13 > 0:19:16Now, that's a first. So the stick has cost you £20.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Meanwhile, you've still got 15 minutes in hand
0:19:19 > 0:19:20to find your last item.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25How about a price on those blue pots?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- Here he is, the man of the moment. - Ah, right.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Now then, we really like these. They are fantastic.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34We are looking at, ooh, we are looking at about 70 for the pair.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36HE LAUGHS
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- Um, £100.- Oh, no. Any lower? - No, I can't do any more. That's it.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46- That's the bottom.- You wanted to pay 80. It's only another 20.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I don't know about you, but...- Shall we?- He's swinging it, isn't he?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Well, I think that's the thing we want to do.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56- We want to spend, the last thing, a big thing, £100?- All right.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57- £100.- Jolly good.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59- JOHN:- Fantastic. Thank you for that.
0:19:59 > 0:20:05Thank you very much. Guys, this is what you were looking for.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10- I'm pleased with that. Champions. - It's FIFA, isn't it? It's the Cup.
0:20:10 > 0:20:11This is it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Three in the bag, congratulations.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19But can the Blues equalise in the last five minutes?
0:20:21 > 0:20:23I just think that's a nice little object, that.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Little turned feet.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28It's got all the little knob handles on it that it should have.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30- How old do you think that would be? - Late Victorian.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33This could be 19th century. That's one thing I've just noticed.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36It's got some cracks there which is...
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- Hence, that's why it's quite a sensible price.- How much is that?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41£33.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43If I could get that at 25,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I think that could make 30 to 50.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49What I'd really like you to find something now that you
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- feel is going to be your key piece. - OK, shall we have a look upstairs?
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- Yes, we can have a go. - Remember, time's ticking, boys.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Where's he gone? Have we lost him? Dexter!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03This is no time to play hide-and-seek.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07We've only got a couple of minutes left
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- and I'm thinking you don't want to be without your third thing.- True.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- The only thing I can think of is the small chest of drawers.- The chest.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- And if we can get a deal on that... - OK.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Yeah. So, come on, chaps, we'd better be quick, quick.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I just think it's got a great look, great colour
0:21:23 > 0:21:25and I would say I'd have this as your third.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27What would be your best price on that?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- DEALER:- The very, very best... And it is very
0:21:29 > 0:21:33sweet, isn't it? And I'll throw in a cup of tea as well. ..would be £25.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35That's our bottom line.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36- £25.- £25.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Would you be happy with £25?
0:21:38 > 0:21:40I mean, price-wise, yeah, it's pretty good, isn't it?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42And we haven't got much time left.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We are up against it. Shall we do the deal?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Going to shake the gentleman's hand?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- Thanks very much.- DEALER:- Well done, lads. Congratulations.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50- Good luck with it.- Cheers.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Phew! A final deal done.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01And the pressure is off, team. Your time is up.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- Cheers.- Cheers.- Cheers, everyone.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05A great day.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09- Well, it's cold enough so well done, folks.- Cheers.- BLUES:- Cheers.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18First they pinned £13 on the sweetheart brooch
0:22:18 > 0:22:20but will it bring them sweet success?
0:22:21 > 0:22:24There's the mahogany canterbury magazine rack,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26which cost £45.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32And they doubled up on the Doulton vases, bought for £100.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Rob and John, what happened? That is my question.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40What happened to the big plan? It all went out the window.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Yeah, it did unfortunately.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Was it the pressure of the Bargain Hunt stopwatch?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I think so. We certainly felt the pressure on the
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- first buy, didn't we?- We did, yeah,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51and it all went downhill but luckily Paul was there to help us,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54push us back up hill. I think we did well in the end.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56But tell me, John, what was your favourite item?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Mine was probably the canterbury.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00A classic piece. A bit pricey?
0:23:00 > 0:23:04No, I think at the price, £45, it was a pretty decent buy.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07So do you reckon the canterbury is going to bring the biggest profits?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- Yeah, I do, yeah.- OK. Quite confident there.- Absolutely.- OK.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And, Rob, do you share John's confidence in the canterbury?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16No. I think it'll do well
0:23:16 > 0:23:19but I think the purchase at the end that we got, the vases,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- I think that's the big one for us. - So that was the Doulton for £100?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- It was indeed, yeah.- I heard a little...
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Was that a little sigh I heard from you?- Yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I didn't want us to spend that much money on any item,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32so I'm not sharing Rob's confidence.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36If that goes south, you're taking no responsibility for that?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- Well, we win together, we lose together.- That's right.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43That's a nice spirit. Now, in the end, what did you spend in total?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45We spent £158.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Ohh, quite a princely sum. Not the full amount, of course.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52It leaves 142, which I will take from you. Fantastic.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- And let's get that straight over to the man, Paul Laidlaw.- Thanking you.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57This is the man without the plan.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00But at least I can't fail to meet it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04The man without the plan is sort of the theme of the afternoon, I'd say.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Absolutely.- On that note, let's find out what the Blue team bought.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12First up, will the Portmeirion Magic City set
0:24:12 > 0:24:15prove just the trick at auction? £46 paid.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Will they march away with a profit on the military swagger stick,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22which cost them £20?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27And finally, they're hoping to maximise their profits
0:24:27 > 0:24:29with the £25 miniature chest.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35That was a close call that you took it to the wire. Oh, my goodness.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Talk about living on the edge.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, Chris, what was your favourite item?
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I think my favourite item was the swagger stick.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The swagger stick. Because you clocked that, didn't you?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- I did, yeah.- And did you know what it was before, a swagger stick?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Yeah, I'd been watching...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It Ain't Half Hot Mum with Windsor Davies
0:24:52 > 0:24:54and that really stood out for me.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57But do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- I don't think it is, no.- No? So what's that going to be, then?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I think probably the coffee set.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- A nice Welsh one. A Portmeirion one.- Absolutely.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Is that why?- Yeah. - SHE LAUGHS
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And, Dexter, do you have a favourite item of the three?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Yeah, favourite item's probably the swagger stick as well.- OK.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Because it kind of fitted in with what we were going out to purchase.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19- OK, fantastic.- I think the most profit will probably come from
0:25:19 > 0:25:22maybe the chest of drawers or possibly the Portmeirion.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24And how much did you spend in total?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25£91.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Which leaves £209. Oh, my goodness.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Please could I have it back. Fantastic.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I didn't expect to be handing over so much money.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- What are you going to do with it all?- I have seen something.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I think it might fit in with one of your interests.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Let me leave it at that.- OK.- OK, sounds good.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44This man knows what he's doing.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Well, now we've found out what the Blues have bought,
0:25:46 > 0:25:50let's head straight over to the auction and get things started.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Well, here I am, the envy of millions.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I'm sitting beside Philip Serrell in Serrell's saleroom in Malvern.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14- Good morning, Phil.- How are you, lovely? You all right?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I'm really excited to be here
0:26:16 > 0:26:19because we've got a really interesting array of items
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- and I think we should get straight into our Red team...- OK.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23..led by Mr Paul Laidlaw.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Robert and John started off their shop with this RAF badge.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Now, tell me, Phil, who enamelled that?
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Probably the local blacksmith in a very dark room.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Would that originally have just been the badge on its own
0:26:35 > 0:26:37because it's very botched, isn't it, the enamelling?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39It's utterly botched.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41And it's either something that's been restored
0:26:41 > 0:26:42or someone's had a go at home enamelling
0:26:42 > 0:26:44but either way I kind of don't think it's worked.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's got that RAF connection.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49So, we think it should do between £15 and £30.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Just in then because they only paid £13.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Oh, well, they're home and hosed, aren't they?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- Lucky for some then, 13.- Absolutely.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56OK. We'll move away from this enamel,
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- which might actually make some money.- Absolutely.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- And we'll move onto this canterbury. - Cos this is an Edwardian
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- mahogany canterbury.- Hm-hm.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08If you look just here, there's a fillet of wood let in.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11And if you look just here, there's another fillet of wood let in.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13There's been some back struts here.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16That's the front of it and there's probably been some shelves.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20But I think it's such a lovely thing because people still read magazines.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Absolutely right.- They still read music sheets and things like that
0:27:23 > 0:27:26and a canterbury can be quite handy. What are you selling it at?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- I think £30 to £50, something like that.- They paid £45 for it.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I think they're fine. I think that will do all right.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Anyway, then we move on to ceramics. Your bag, ceramics.- Yeah.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35But Royal Doulton, how do you feel about that?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Well, it's not Worcester, is it?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's no Worcester but do you know,
0:27:39 > 0:27:44I don't think you're going to rate these and I personally love them.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45For a start off with this, when you've got
0:27:45 > 0:27:47the leaning Tower of Doulton,
0:27:47 > 0:27:49and I think the top of that one has been restored.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52I think they're like £20 to £30 worth with those issues.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55They spent a third of the money on this. £100.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Right. The thing is, there's a lot of good Doulton in this sale.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Do you know what? They might just get away.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06OK. Well, Phil seems a little bit anxious about these
0:28:06 > 0:28:08and, in that case, the Reds might just need their bonus buy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11So, let's see what Paul came up with.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15Well, Robert and John, you spent just over half the money.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19Paul, did you spend every single penny of that £142
0:28:19 > 0:28:21of leftover lolly?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24"Oh, don't be so silly," he says.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25Let's have a look.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28We've got two strapping/burly guys in front of me
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and I bought that little bobble.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- OK.- OK.- Ohh.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- What is it?- You better sell that cos it's not selling itself.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- That looks nice.- It is a pendant...
0:28:40 > 0:28:41..cum brooch.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43The stone is an actual mineral.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46In Scotland we'd call it a cairngorm. It's quartz family.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47- Smoky quartz.- Yeah.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52What works for me is the fact that it's a bold standard piece.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I like that. I do like it. I like the smokiness of it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56What do you think, John?
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- I'm not so sure. - THEY GROAN
0:28:59 > 0:29:00It's going to be numbers, isn't it?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02The important thing, yeah.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04PAUL LAUGHS
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Well, the other important thing is what it's worth.- Yes.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10The answer to the first question, £20.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13OK. OK?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- It ain't staggeringly valuable... - No.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18..but it's got to be worth £20 to £40.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- 30 to 50 on a good day.- It's different to what we've got
0:29:20 > 0:29:23in a way, so I quite like that.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Well, Paul thinks this piece might have potential
0:29:25 > 0:29:28but will Philip approve of the feminine touch?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Here we are. Paul Laidlaw's bonus buy.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36Very feminine but smoky quartz and quite dramatic.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39- I quite like the shape.- It's quite moody, isn't it?- It is very moody.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Yeah. We've put a bottom estimate on that of £25
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- and I think that'll do OK.- He only paid £20 for it.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- Well, there's a profit, isn't there? - He's done so well there
0:29:47 > 0:29:48cos it's such a gorgeous thing.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50So we think we're quite safe with the Reds.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52- Well, let's move on to Chris and Dexter now.- OK.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54Start off with the Portmeirion. Love it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57Now, I'm a big fan of this particular style
0:29:57 > 0:29:59of Susan Williams-Ellis. I love it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:05For me, it's very difficult selling things that are younger than I am.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08OK. I mean, I rarely have that problem...
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- I'm just kidding!- You know...
0:30:11 > 0:30:12No, I think it's really cool.
0:30:12 > 0:30:17I think Magic City, especially because her father designed a city,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20it's got interest. And what do you reckon it's going to make?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I would think it's going to make between £15 and £30.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Well, they paid £46.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27- You're speechless.- I am. - Let's move on.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Item number two is a swagger stick.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33The boys have done quite well cos it's got silver-plated mounts.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Does it have enough swagger for you, Phil?- Again, I don't think it's got
0:30:36 > 0:30:38the greatest amount of age in the world.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40I think it's going to make between £10 and £15.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- Is that all?- Yeah.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- I tell you, the boys paid £20 for this...- Really?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47..and I think they've done really well.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48I reckon that's going to make a profit.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Moving away from the 20th century, we're going back in time
0:30:51 > 0:30:53and we've got this... Is it an apprentice chest?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55I quite like this. We've put £40 to £60 on it.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- There are other bits...- Similar. - ..right behind us.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00There's miniature furniture in this sale.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- So I think that'll do quite well. - OK.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Well, believe it or not, although it is a wee bit shoddy,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08it's got to be worth more than the £25 that they paid for it.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- Is that what it cost?- That's all they paid.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Well, I would think they're home and hosed with that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15- Do you reckon?- Yeah.- Well, Phil seems awfully confident
0:31:15 > 0:31:16but just in case it doesn't go to plan,
0:31:16 > 0:31:21let's see what Mark bought for his bonus buy for the Blues.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Well, Chris, this is now your time to ask Mark lots of questions
0:31:25 > 0:31:27but I have a question for you. Where on earth is Dexter?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Dexter had an appointment he just couldn't get out of, I'm afraid.
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- Now, you spent £91...- Yes.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35..between you. Not a huge amount of money.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- We did give you 300. Do you remember that?- I know.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Which means £209 was given to Mark.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- Please show us what you got. - Right, here we go.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Ohh!- Oh.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53There we are. A Maxitone gramophone from the late 1920s, early 1930s.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Wow.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58And it works, which was... Well, you wouldn't buy it if it didn't.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- To have it mechanically working. - Yeah. I wasn't sure, actually.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03It's got lots of extra needles and it's a good-looking thing
0:32:03 > 0:32:06and I think with all the vintage and retro interest,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- I think someone might go for it.- How much did you pay for it?
0:32:08 > 0:32:12I ended up paying 55, which actually was a third off.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14- It was 85 and I got a reduction. - That's good.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16But to be honest, I think we are only hoping
0:32:16 > 0:32:18to get £70 or £80 for it.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- It's not going to run away, I don't think.- Yeah, I like it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Good. I'm glad you do.
0:32:23 > 0:32:24Well, Chris seems to love it,
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Mark absolutely loves it but will Philip Serrell, our auctioneer,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31think his buyers will be in tune with this gramophone?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Now, Phil, here we have Mark's bonus buy.- Yes.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37- I love it.- Really?
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Love the history of turntables and all that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42It just looks like an ordinary sideboard.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46You lift the lid and the magic of music turns within.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49- What do you think?- There are people who are big collectors of vinyl...
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Hm-hm.- ...and turntables and all things mechanical
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- to do with the music business. - They are.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58I think we've put £20 to £30 on it.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Well, Mark, I think, has done really well
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- cos he only paid £55 for it. - Really?
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You think that's twice what is going to make
0:33:05 > 0:33:07but it's just the romantic edge that I love.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- I need a room full of Raskins, that's what I need.- You do! You do!
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- You'll be taking the auction today, is that correct?- Yes, indeed.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I personally can't wait to see you in action
0:33:15 > 0:33:18and I bet you can't either, so let's see him strut his stuff.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22110, 120, 130...
0:33:25 > 0:33:27100, 110.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Any more? 110.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31In the room, 120.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32120.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Well, Robert and John, Paul, I'm glad I wore my high heels
0:33:36 > 0:33:39because I'm on your level now. This is great.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Tell me, are you excited about the auction? The moment has come.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- Absolutely, yeah.- We're confident. We are confident.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Is there any particular lot you're very nervous about or...?
0:33:47 > 0:33:48- Yes, I am.- Which one's that?
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- The vases.- The vases!
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- My vases.- Honestly.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55First of all coming up, it's the sterling silver brooch.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57Let's see how it goes.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01Is the little sterling silver enamelled RAF brooch.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Bid me for that, I don't know, who's got £30 to start?
0:34:04 > 0:34:0530 I'm bid. 5.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- '40. 5.'- Straight to 30.
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Get in there.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I've got 40. I'm bid here at 40.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12This is incredible.
0:34:12 > 0:34:1440. 45. Fresh blood.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16At 45. The book's out at 45.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Any more? At £45.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- Come on, more!- They're loving it, Rob. Keep going.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23And done. Thank you.
0:34:23 > 0:34:24- Fantastic.- Oh, that was amazing.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- You've just made £32 profit. - That's incredible.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Now, let's keep that up.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31We're going onto our mahogany three division canterbury.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Give me 50, sir.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34Give me 30.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- Not 30.- '30 I'm bid.'
0:34:36 > 0:34:38At 30. £30. And 5.
0:34:38 > 0:34:4040. 5.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- £45.- OK. Breaking even.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45At £45 I'm bid. At 45, it's your bid. 5.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Come on. Come on. Please.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51At £45 I'm bid. 50. 50 bid.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Oh, 50's bid! That's another profit.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54One more. Yes?
0:34:54 > 0:34:5660. 60 bid.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Yes! Get in there!
0:34:58 > 0:35:00'At 60. 60 bid.'
0:35:00 > 0:35:03The gentleman's bid at £60 and done.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06And it's 60 and done. Thank you.
0:35:06 > 0:35:07- Fantastic!- We're doing all right.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10£60. Which means £15 profit, which means 47
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- thus far.- That's fantastic.
0:35:13 > 0:35:14It's all on you, Robert.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17A pair of Doulton vases. Good shape, good colour.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Bid me for those. I don't know, start me off at £100.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23100. 50.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26- Come on.- '20 on the net bid.'- Ohh!
0:35:26 > 0:35:2730 I'm bid on the net.
0:35:27 > 0:35:2935. 35. 40.
0:35:29 > 0:35:315 now. At 45.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33At 45 in the room. The net's at 50.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34- OK. OK.- 60.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Oh, get in there! - PHIL:- '70. 70 bid.'
0:35:37 > 0:35:39£70. 80.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40One more, sir.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42It's only money.
0:35:42 > 0:35:43At £80.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46Bid's on the net at £80. Any more at all?
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- Come on.- 'At £80, then.'
0:35:49 > 0:35:52At £80 and done. Thank you.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56You've lost £20 and it means that you're still in profit. £27.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Fantastic.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59But now we have to decide
0:35:59 > 0:36:03are we going to go with this very feminine pendant?
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Oh, this is a tricky one, isn't it?
0:36:05 > 0:36:06You are in profit.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- Let's... Shall we do it?- Let's give it a blast.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Yeah, let's go for it. Let's go for it. We'll go with it, yeah.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- You have faith in Paul Laidlaw? - We trust you.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I think you've done pretty well there.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- Will the buyers like it? - Bid me for the pendant.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Start me at 50.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Give me 40.
0:36:22 > 0:36:23Ouch! Give me 30.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Somebody at 20, surely?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Go on. 20 I'm bid. At 20.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- Broken even.- 'At 20.'

0:36:42 > 0:36:44Any more? At £30...

0:37:01 > 0:37:03- I'm delighted for you.- Thank you. - But it's not a huge profit
0:37:03 > 0:37:06and those Blues could come at you with a bigger one.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08So promise me you'll just keep it all together
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- and you'll say nothing to them. - Poker face.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Chris, you are the sole representative
0:37:21 > 0:37:23- for the Blue team today, Dexter can't be with us.- No.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- So how are you feeling?- I'm feeling really excited,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28really nervous but, yeah, looking forward to it.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I have to say, it's not showing. Are you genuinely feeling pressure?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Yeah, a little bit. Yeah, yeah, quite a lot of pressure, actually.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37So our first lot today is Portmeirion
0:37:37 > 0:37:38under the hammer now.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Somebody bid me for that. £50 start bid.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- I've got 30 bid with me.- OK, 30 bid. - At 35.

0:37:59 > 0:38:04Gentleman, straight off the mark with a £4 profit.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07Here comes the Royal Irish swagger stick. You paid 20.
0:38:07 > 0:38:09He says 10 to 15. So again, fingers crossed.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Bid me £30 to go.

0:38:20 > 0:38:2320. At £20. There's the bid, seated.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- At £20.- I think £20. - Oh, we need one more.
0:38:26 > 0:38:2820 and done. Thank you.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Oh, 20. We broke even.- Broke even.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59At £35 and done. Thank you.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Overall, Chris...and Dexter, too, £14 in front.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05So now is a pretty big decision
0:39:05 > 0:39:07and you've got to make it on your own.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Are you going to go with the gramophone?
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Mark paid £55.

0:39:19 > 0:39:20so fingers crossed. Here we go.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23The gramophone. Who's got £50 to start?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28There's a bit of a deathly hush over the place.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Who's got £20? Well done, sir.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31I'm pleased you came.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35At 20. 5. 30. 5.
0:39:35 > 0:39:3640.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Go on. 5. 45.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40- 45 in the room.- You need two more.
0:39:40 > 0:39:4150.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43One more, sir.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4550. It's only money.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- 60.- Oh, 60! Yey, profit!
0:39:48 > 0:39:4970.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51One more, sir.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53At £70 on the net. Any more?
0:39:53 > 0:39:54At £70 then.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57I'm selling at 70 and done. Thank you.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Delighted! £70.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04It means plus 15, which means overall plus 29.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05By golly, you've done it.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Now, you never know, the Reds could have made more
0:40:07 > 0:40:10but you, as a Blue, have gone away with a profit.
0:40:10 > 0:40:14So poker face please and say nothing to those pesky Reds.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15I won't.
0:40:23 > 0:40:27Chris, Robert and John, representing Chris and Dexter of course.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Blues and Reds, how are you all feeling after that mad auction?
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Pretty good. Exhausted.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- Pretty good.- Confident.- Confident, yeah.- OK.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38We're all winners today because everybody's going home with money,
0:40:38 > 0:40:40which is good.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44But one team is going home with slightly more money.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46And that team...
0:40:46 > 0:40:49is the Reds. Well done! Our winners today.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Our runner-up today is Chris
0:40:51 > 0:40:55but didn't he do a great job representing the Blue team, Chris.
0:40:55 > 0:40:56And you did very well
0:40:56 > 0:41:00because we all thought that the Portmeirion Magic City set
0:41:00 > 0:41:03was never going to make the £46 you paid for it
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- and it made £50, so you made a profit.- Oh, well! Just.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10You came out £14 in front after just three lots and you said,
0:41:10 > 0:41:11"What would I do if Dexter was here?
0:41:11 > 0:41:13"I reckon we'd go for that gramophone."
0:41:13 > 0:41:17So you went for it and you got an extra £15,
0:41:17 > 0:41:19making 29 in total.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20So, very well done.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Let me hand it over to you, Chris.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24I'll give you some folding money and some coins,
0:41:24 > 0:41:28- coming to a grand total of £29. Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:41:28 > 0:41:29Any idea what you'll spend it on?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33Yeah, I think I'm going to buy something for my baby daughter.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- She's 13 weeks.- 13 weeks old? Oh, lovely!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38Well, you get her something pretty to wear
0:41:38 > 0:41:40and tell Dexter you're keeping it all, yes?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42THEY LAUGH Fantastic. Well done.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46But what about these Reds?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48A fantastic job, Robert and John.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Of course, you made a profit straight off the mark
0:41:51 > 0:41:54with your RAF brooch. It wasn't difficult, you only paid £13 for it.
0:41:54 > 0:42:00- I know.- And then we went on until we made a wee loss, £20.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Not such a big deal because it was those vases
0:42:03 > 0:42:05and we all pretty much were on the same page.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Where did you end up?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08£37 profit.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10Just enough to beat Chris and Dexter
0:42:10 > 0:42:13and I'm going to give that straight over to you.
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- £37.- Thank you.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Fantastic. Did you expect to make a profit?
0:42:18 > 0:42:19Yes, of course we did.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I was happy with what we did and we've had a great time.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Fantastic.- I would say no. - THEY LAUGH
0:42:25 > 0:42:30I thought those vases were going to lose a lot, so I'm very happy.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34I'm delighted for you. Well, everyone here has made some money
0:42:34 > 0:42:35and they've had a great time.
