0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello. Today, we're at Southwell Racecourse
0:00:05 > 0:00:06in Nottinghamshire.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07It's not race day,
0:00:07 > 0:00:12but we are odds-on for a great day as the Reds and the Blues
0:00:12 > 0:00:15race round the antiques' track looking for a bargain.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19So, place your bets and let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46One, two, three, four, five.
0:00:46 > 0:00:51Let's study the Bargain Hunt form today at Southwell Racecourse.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Our teams have 60 minutes,
0:00:53 > 0:00:58£300 to buy three items and, hopefully, make a profit at auction.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Let's have a look at what lies ahead.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06On today's show, we have two feisty ladies...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Oh, Maxine, here's something for you. All the criteria -
0:01:09 > 0:01:12rusty, dusty, fusty and musty.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15No way, Jose, are we having that.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18One determined lady...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Mark, I want the jug. Mark, Mark... I want the jug!
0:01:21 > 0:01:22It's terrible, isn't it?
0:01:22 > 0:01:25You give them five minutes and they start making decisions on their own.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28By the time we get to auctioneer, the teams are certainly lively...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- ALL:- Yes!- ..and determined.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33I can smell gavel, can you smell gavel?
0:01:33 > 0:01:37- I smell gavel. - LAUGHTER
0:01:37 > 0:01:41That's all for later, but let's meet today's teams.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45For the Reds, we have sisters Gillian and Maxine,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49and for the Blues, the married couple Stephen and Helena.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- Hello, everyone! ALL:- Hello!
0:01:52 > 0:01:57Yes, now, you two look like a pair to be reckoned with.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00We are. We are sisters, very close sisters and, yes,
0:02:00 > 0:02:04to be reckoned with. We are really in tune with each other.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05- We know how we tick, don't we?- Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08We've got personalities that complement each other.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10All right, and how do they complement one another?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- She's the chatty one. - Oh, is she the blether?- Yes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I didn't need to speak until I was two years old
0:02:15 > 0:02:17because she did everything for me, so...
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Well, that's what big sisters are for, isn't it?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22I'm a big sister myself and I'm a bit chatty,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24so I know what you mean.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27You are both retired now. What sort of work did you do?
0:02:27 > 0:02:29I was a primary school teacher before I retired.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Loved my job, working with really small children.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Oh, the wee tinies.- Yes, yes. - Are they funny?- Yeah.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Very funny, very funny indeed. Loved it.- You loved it, yeah.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39And what about yourself?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42My last job was working as a classroom support assistant
0:02:42 > 0:02:45in high school, which, at times, was very challenging, yes.
0:02:45 > 0:02:50But prior to that, I worked for the pensions authority and a bank.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- But you are both retired now. BOTH:- Yes.- So, what do you?
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- What sort of things are you involved in?- We do lots of things together.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Yes, we do.- Go to the gym. - Just swim.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Yeah, we don't go in the gym, we just swim. It has been...
0:03:03 > 0:03:04- No pumping iron?- No.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07It has been known that we go to the gym sometimes to wash our hair.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09LAUGHTER
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- We do voluntary work as well. - Yes, we do.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14At Barnsley Hospice.
0:03:14 > 0:03:15And actually, what we win today,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18cos we intend to win, is going to Barnsley Hospice.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20We are donating it to Barnsley Hospice.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Oh, that's fighting talk there. - Most definitely.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25We are going for that golden gavel.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Now, ladies, I know the dealers aren't going
0:03:27 > 0:03:29to stand a chance with you two.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31So, what are your tactics?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33We're going to go small,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35because we think we can get a bigger profit on it.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Right.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Because the aim is for the golden gavel,
0:03:39 > 0:03:40that's the tactics we're going to use.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44So, that's the Red team and now for our Blues.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47We have married couple Stephen and Helena.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51Now, you've been married for 25 years. How did you meet?
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Well, we went to Bible college together down on the south coast
0:03:55 > 0:03:58and Stephen was at the front there, leading the worship band,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00playing guitar, and I took one look at him and thought,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03"That's the man for me," and fell for him hook, line and sinker.
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Job done.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07And, Stephen, you've got a career in the church.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Tell us a wee bit about that. - Yeah, I have now.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13I was a mechanic for ten years and then I went into the church
0:04:13 > 0:04:17and I've been doing that for 20-odd years.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And so, I'm involved with just about everything that happens in
0:04:20 > 0:04:22the church - preaching, leading the worship,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26obviously, visiting people, youth work, all sorts of things.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Are you still playing the guitar?
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I am still playing the guitar, yes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And, Helena, you help them in the work within the church.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Yes, that's right.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I help to run the babes and tods group, which is lovely.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39So, I get my turn with the littlies as well. Lots of glitter,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42lots of glue, lots of noise, but it is lovely work.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46So, all our teams are involved with kids, then. Oh, that's great.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51Now, it says here that you are interested in steampunk.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53What is steampunk?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Well, for us, steampunk is science fiction, technology
0:04:56 > 0:05:00and steam power mixed together in a Victorian backdrop.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Wow. But what do you do when you are steampunking?
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- Walk about looking very splendid. - You get dressed up.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- All dressed up.- Oh, you are all dressed up?- Yes, top hats.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14So, you are involved in looking at the past in steampunking.
0:05:14 > 0:05:21Is this going to help you with your antiques and collectables buying?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Possibly. Cos we go round looking at antique shops.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27And I look at things and think, "What can I make of that?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30"How can I transform this into some sort of steampunk machinery?"
0:05:30 > 0:05:35So, these sisters here are very, very competitive.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38What are your tactics going to be to win?
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Well, we've always thought we are going to buy low, nice and cheap,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45but buy quality. Something that's going to really attract people.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47- Yeah, yeah, I like it.- You know, something a bit quirky, different
0:05:47 > 0:05:50and then hopefully, we'll rake the money in at the auction.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52All right, a lot of competition.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- We're definitely after the golden gavel.- Oh, yeah.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Well, if you want those golden gavels,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58you're going to need some money, folks.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02We've got £300 there and £300 here.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Your experts await. So off you go. ALL:- Yes!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09This looks like it's going to be an interesting one.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So, let's meet today's experts.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16For the Reds, it's mover and shaker Raj Bisram.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And getting in amongst it for the Blues, it's Mark Stacey.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, girls, what are we looking for today?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Well, I like wooden things and things with a story.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Now, what are your plans today?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Hope to get the golden gavel, that's our plan.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32HE CHUCKLES
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I quite like tasteful ceramics and glass, but I don't do rusty-dusty.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37You don't do rusty-dusty.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39She doesn't do fusty-musty either.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43Maybe some wood or silver or something that really stands out.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Giddy-up, teams, your time starts now.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- BELL DINGS - Let's go shopping!- Yeah!
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Let's go shopping, shall we?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53OK, what I suggest, girls, is we go round this way
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- and go round the outside and then come round the inside, OK?- Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59While the Reds formulate a plan,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01the Blues are getting stuck in.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Have you spotted anything?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- I was looking at the little UFO thing.- Is it a clock?- It's a clock.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09- No, it says, "rain..." - I think that's quite unusual.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- It's a barometer.- It's a bit off-the-wall, isn't it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- I like off-the-wall. - I like off-the-wall...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- Off-the-wall is good. - ..but I think it's got to appeal
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- to an auction market.- Right. - And at the right price, of course.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23And at the right price. That's the key, that's the key.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Wise words, Mark. No pressure, then, Blues.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Now, glassware was on the Reds' wish list.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- You got some very nice things on here.- Yeah, well, you see this piece
0:07:32 > 0:07:35of glass, and this is probably Mary Gregory.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- And you see these pieces that are put on?- BOTH:- Yeah.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40This is what you call punts.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43I know it's an unusual word and it's antique terminology for
0:07:43 > 0:07:47pieces of glass that are put on, and the Germans used it a lot.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51It was for decoration, but mainly, it was for gripping the glass,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54so you could grip the glass without it sliding through your hands.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- OK?- Oh, you know your stuff, don't you?- Should we keep looking? Mm-hm.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- OK.- You've impressed Gillian, Raj, and I.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Looks like the Blues are interested in glassware, too.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Is that blue glass? What's the letters? It's got M.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10It's S for sherry, P for port and W for whisky.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- I'll bet that's expensive. - How much?- 300.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Three... Cor! - Well, that's our entire budget.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Guessing we'll move on. - Maybe not, then.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21We've got good taste, obviously. Good taste, just too...too high.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Bad luck, Blues. Now, Reds, this looks psychedelic.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Oh, it's heavy.- That's nice. - You like that?- Mm-hm.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- I like the way the pattern moves. - I like that.- That is nice, isn't it?
0:08:31 > 0:08:34It's a very decorative piece of glass.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39I mean, my guess is that it probably is maybe Czechoslovakian
0:08:39 > 0:08:42or even Scandinavian. There's no markings underneath,
0:08:42 > 0:08:46but it is very decorative and a very good weight. Good choice.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, why don't you see what the dealer will do for it?
0:08:49 > 0:08:53- It's a really good price. - Well, I can't see it actually.
0:08:53 > 0:08:5522. It could be £20.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Well, I wasn't expecting to pay that, though. 20...
0:08:58 > 0:09:00In that case, let me see what you can do
0:09:00 > 0:09:03with your negotiation skills, girls. Off you go.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Mm-hm. So, what is your best price on that?
0:09:06 > 0:09:07For you two today, it can be 15.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09I think that that's a very,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12very fair deal and I think we should be shaking his hand.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15I think we've got to be fair and accept that one. That's brilliant.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Thank you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- Well done, girls.- Thank you.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20Thank you very much.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22'Well done, Reds. The first item bought.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26'Raj, you could well be in for an easy time today.'
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Girls, fantastic. I think we are about five minutes in,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32you didn't even need me to negotiate.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36I'm really not needed on this one, am I? Fantastic. Well done.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- Thank you.- Let's go, then. - Brilliant!
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Off you go in search of your second item, then, Reds.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Over to the Blues, and Helena wanted some silver.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47What about that little...? Is it silver, that jug there?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Do you know what, I think it is, actually.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Could we just have a look at that jug?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53It's not a typical British shape at all, is it?
0:09:53 > 0:09:58You've got this very highbrow here and all this embossing.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59And its rather elegant handle.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's quite feminine, Helena, isn't it?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's such a nice shape. That will look pretty on
0:10:04 > 0:10:06anybody's mantelpiece. It's not too big.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- The Victorians liked decorative things.- Yes, yes.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11But it is priced up at £90.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13We need to get something off that, then, don't we?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15We need to ask him if he can do any better.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Stephen, do you want to ask the dealer what he can do for us?
0:10:18 > 0:10:21What's your very best that you could do for us?
0:10:21 > 0:10:22What about 80?
0:10:22 > 0:10:2374?
0:10:23 > 0:10:2474, then.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- 74.- 74, I think we should go for that
0:10:26 > 0:10:29- cos we're not going to find another one...- Hold on, hold on.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31- Not 74, Mark?- Hold on... - HE CLICKS TONGUE
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Mark. I want the jug, Mark. Mark, Mark, Mark. I want the jug.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36It's terrible, isn't it? You give them five minutes
0:10:36 > 0:10:39and they start making decisions on their own. We can't have that.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42You can't do it for a round 70 to give us a chance?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- No, no, no.- You want the jug? - It's a pretty jug.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- You really want the jug. - I want the jug.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- I think you're sold on it, actually. - I'm going to get blamed, aren't I?
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- I'm going to get so blamed. - Of course.- Blamed at the auction.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- I think so.- Go for it, go for it. Go for it. We need to buy something.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- OK.- £74. Shake the man's hand. - LAUGHTER
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- I'll shake the man's hand, then. - I'll blame you for shaking it first.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Oh, she does take charge, Stephen, doesn't she?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Someone has to, Mark.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Good for you, Helena. Show the boys who's boss.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15So, that's the first buy for the Blues with 18 minutes in the clock.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18Fingers crossed, you are on track for a golden gavel.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I never knew Raj had such rhythm.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23THEY CHEER
0:11:23 > 0:11:27- There you go. Have a go. Ooh! - The golden gavel.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29I love it, ladies, but come on, Reds.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It's time to scoop up your second item.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- I like the look of that.- Yeah.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- This?- Yeah, this, yeah.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38Well, I would think this is without a doubt 19th century.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41I can tell from the holes that it's for skimming the whey
0:11:41 > 0:11:43off the top of the milk and, to be honest,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I haven't seen that many of them.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47OK, this, I think, is quite an unusual object.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You know, it's not ingenious,
0:11:49 > 0:11:51someone has taken a big wooden spoon and put some holes in it,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- and actually, that just does the job, doesn't it?- Mm-hm.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57It says £30.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Is it something you both like? - I like it.- I like it, yeah.- You do?
0:12:00 > 0:12:01I do, I like it. Yeah.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Well, in that case, should we see what we can get it for?
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- Up to you, girls.- I don't want to insult you or anything, but... Ten.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- 20.- Can we go 15?
0:12:11 > 0:12:12- MOUTHS:- Yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Brilliant. Well done.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16So, the milk skimmer spoon is the second item,
0:12:16 > 0:12:18but is that the end of the deal?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I noticed that there's a ladle over there and a spoon there.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25OK, this is a really nice Georgian spoon, I think.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26It's done a lot of work, hasn't?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Yeah, I mean, this is a 18th-century spoon in my...you know, I think.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34So, that's quite nice. And there's this lovely ladle here as well.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- So, the three of them...- Together. - Yeah, would make quite a nice lot.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41Well, the ticket price on these two is 35.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Can we ask you to come down just a little bit? 18?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- 19.- We're going to stick at the 18.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Oh, all right, then.- Ooh! Goodness gracious, me.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52I need to take you on all my buying trips. £18.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Well done. Shake the lady's hand.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Thank you for that so much. Thank you.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Interesting lot there, Reds.
0:13:00 > 0:13:05So, that's three spoons for £33 in roughly 20 minutes.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Helena, wooden items were also in your shopping list.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Are they taking your fancy?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- Is the piano a box? That's unusual. - It is.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16It's a jewellery box, I think, isn't it?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Is it musical?- No, it's not.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- Oh, right.- How much is it?
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Uh, it's £18.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24What could you do it for?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Ideally, 15.- 15. Thank you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I like that because it's so...dinky, miniature.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33- I like miniature.- And also... Does this move down? Yes?- Oh, look.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- So, it's in the style. - Oh, I really like that.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39It's in the style of a Victorian boudoir grand with turned legs.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Yeah. There's no age to it, though, is there?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- There is a bit of age there.- A bit of age.- Yeah, I mean, I would've
0:13:44 > 0:13:46thought it's '50s, '60s. So, it's got a bit of age.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48What do you think, Stephen?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I like that, but I've already have the...chose the silver jug.- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- I don't want to be...- The dealer said it's 18.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Didn't you say you'd do it for 15?
0:13:54 > 0:13:5615 would be the best on that.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58Would you actually go down to 13?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00I can do it for 14.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- You like that?- It's not a lot of money.- No, it isn't.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05I love it, but then that's me, isn't it? It's wooden.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Yeah, go for it if you want. 14.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Right.- Yeah.- We'll take it. - Thank you.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11That's lovely, thank you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Well, listen, you struck all the right notes with that one.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Should we carry on shopping?- Yes!
0:14:16 > 0:14:19Well done, Blues, or should I say Helena?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22That's your second item in 25 minutes.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Whilst the teams continue to gallop around the fair,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I've got something horse-related to show you.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Collecting is fun.
0:14:35 > 0:14:41And our fair today will be full of keen buyers looking to add
0:14:41 > 0:14:44items to their collection or to sell on.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50A favourite area of collecting is the vesta case.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54Now, the vesta case is a small, portable box
0:14:54 > 0:14:57used for carrying matches safely
0:14:57 > 0:15:01and came into common use round about the 1830s.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06The vesta cases that we are most familiar with are the small
0:15:06 > 0:15:10rectangular ones, and these are the ones that we see most on
0:15:10 > 0:15:11Bargain Hunt.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16But the collectors will be seeking out the unusual ones,
0:15:16 > 0:15:19the novelty vesta cases.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25I have found this little case in the form of a pony's foot.
0:15:25 > 0:15:31The hoof hinges back to show the little compartment where we
0:15:31 > 0:15:33would keep the matches.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37The front of it is cast quite finely
0:15:37 > 0:15:42to show the hairs of the horse's fetlock.
0:15:42 > 0:15:47So, although it's only made of brass, there is some quality there.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51At the back, we have a ribbed surface where you would
0:15:51 > 0:15:54strike the matches.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57At the top, we have a ring
0:15:57 > 0:16:00and it would be attached to your watch chain,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03or Albert, by this ring.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06It is not made of a precious metal,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09it is not made by a famous maker,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12but it is unusual. It is different.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17I bought this at a city auction for £20,
0:16:17 > 0:16:21but if this was sold today in this fair,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25in a racecourse where people would be interested in
0:16:25 > 0:16:27equestrian items,
0:16:27 > 0:16:32then I think this could trot out a healthy profit
0:16:32 > 0:16:34and double its money.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Back to the shopping at Southwell Racecourse.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46We are over halfway through.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Today's competitive teams have two items each and they are
0:16:49 > 0:16:53determined to enter the realm of the golden gavel.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56So, Reds, are you going to blow some money on this?
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- Shall I have a go?- Yeah!- What do you think?- BOTH:- Yeah.- Play us a tune.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04HE PLAYS OFF-PITCH NOTE, THEY LAUGH
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Rubbish!- Well done, well done. - I'm getting better.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- You passed the audition. - But don't give up your day job.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Blues, have you been drawn to another wooden box?
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What's this, then, Mark?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- It's a cigarette box, I think. - It is a cigarette box.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- You could use it for other things, couldn't you?- Could you?
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I don't know. Open it and find out.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Oh, right, yes. Brings your cigarette out for you.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27- I don't like that.- No. - It's clever, but I don't like it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Wouldn't have a great deal of appeal, would it? Really, now?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Smoking is not quite in now, is it?
0:17:32 > 0:17:34No, it's a dying hobby, I think.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37"Dying hobby!" Oh. Doubt he gets worse.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40He certainly does, Helena.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Now, what's the weather doing?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- It's actually stopped raining, OK?- Right.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Why don't we go outside into the outside stands.- Yeah.- Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- While it's stopped raining. - Yes, yes.- Should we nip out?
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Yes, let's do it.- You up for that? - Yeah.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Head outside, then, Reds,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57but there's only 15 minutes left on the clock.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Gillian is getting excited.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01Oh, Maxine, here's something for you!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Whatever has she spotted?
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Oh, look at this! All the criteria -
0:18:05 > 0:18:09- rusty, dusty, fusty and musty. - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:09 > 0:18:11No way, Jose, are we having that.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16Ah, yes, I had forgotten the Reds were avoiding rusty-dusty items.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20Back inside, what's next for the Blues?
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Are they Doulton, the salt and the mustard?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- Are they together or separate? - Well, they are a pair, so...
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- I mean, they look nice. - I'll give you that piece.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31You've got the Doulton Lambeth mark here
0:18:31 > 0:18:33and you've got signature here
0:18:33 > 0:18:36- and you've got a date there - 1871. - Yeah.- Whoo!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38What's the price?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- 145.- Right.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- I don't know, Stephen. - We are now down to ten minutes.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44We may need to make decisions.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47If this is a no, then we will thank the dealer and we will move
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- on to the next one.- No, I think it's a no at the moment.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51No, it's a no permanently. I'm not coming back.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54- We haven't got time to come back. - Thank you very much, sir.
0:18:54 > 0:18:55- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- You've got ten minutes, Stephen. - Yes.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02This is what I promised we would not do is to leave it last-minute
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- and then make a bad decision. - Come on, Blues.
0:19:04 > 0:19:09Now is not the time to crumble. As Mark says, just ten minutes left.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Reds, you need to find your final item, too.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I thought you didn't want to spend much.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17- No, it's going to be an awful lot of money.- It's £240.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21I'm afraid it's out of our the league. 240.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Well, Reds, you have £252 left to spend.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28I mean, it's a very pretty set, it's a really good maker, Shelley.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32It is collectable, but that...that is a retail price, I think.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Tell me, what do you think about this?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Well, it caught my eye from a distance.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I just love the colours to it and the quirky shapes to it.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41I just find it so appealing.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45Hi there. The girls really like the Shelley tea service.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47My good lady says we can go down
0:19:47 > 0:19:49to 160 on it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53I think that's actually not a bad price at all.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Well, we'll have to sort of say, "If it's perfect."
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- You can say, "Is it complete?" Yeah. - Yeah, yeah. OK. Come on, then.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- Let you do the negotiating on this one.- Yeah.- Come on, then.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Looks like the stall holder has brought in his good lady to
0:20:04 > 0:20:06negotiate with you, Maxine.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08They've got some questions for you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Is it a complete set?
0:20:11 > 0:20:16It is. There's 24 pieces because it's actually got its teapot stand,
0:20:16 > 0:20:17which is very unusual.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20It's in perfect condition. It's 1930s.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- Can I touch a piece? - Yes, you can.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26Thank you.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28How do you feel about 120?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Um, 140?
0:20:30 > 0:20:31130?
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Yes. I'll do 130.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- Yeah?- Are you happy with that? - I'm happy with that, yeah.- And you?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I think that that's a very, very fair price, girls,
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- so I would shake the lady's hand. - Thank you very much.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Thank you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:45What a discount, Reds.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48Wow, girls, we've already got the three items.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50We are finished.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Let's go and have a cup of tea. - Sounds like a plan.- Let's go!
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Hopefully, not in your Shelley tea service, Reds.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58How long left on the clock?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- Seven minutes.- Seven minutes.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03And it looks like the Blues have returned to a familiar stall.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Is this card box worth the gamble?
0:21:06 > 0:21:08So, what do you like about it?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10It just attracts me.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12This type of decoration was very popular in the late
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Victorian, Edwardian period. And this is known as pokerwork.- Yes.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So, all this would have been done by hand.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I mean, it is what it is.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22It's a nice, simple item. I mean, it's priced at £22.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25It's not going to set the auction world alight, I'm afraid.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27But you like it, Stephen, and it's the first time
0:21:27 > 0:21:31so far that I've seen any passion in anything we've liked.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32- Yes.- So, please, buy it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34We've got five minutes, Stephen.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37He's got 22 on the price tag, what can you do it for?
0:21:37 > 0:21:3916 would be the best on that.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Can you not come down a little bit more?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44I think about 14 again, like the other item we bought?
0:21:44 > 0:21:45I'll meet you in the middle at 15
0:21:45 > 0:21:47being as you bought the other one.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Helena?- Please buy it, Stephen. - Please buy it?
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Please just buy the box!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Thank you very much. £15.- Pleasure.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54Well done, Blues.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Job done with just minutes to spare. BELL TOLLS
0:21:59 > 0:22:00That's it. Time's up.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Hallelujah. We've finished. Well done.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10First up, our sisters Gillian and Maxine wanted the golden gavel.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14At £15 will this vase help them on their way?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Next up, maybe these spoons will cause a stir at the auction,
0:22:18 > 0:22:20bought for £33.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23And finally, will they be dining out on the profits
0:22:23 > 0:22:27from this tea service, bought for 130?
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Well, well, well, girls. Smiling faces here.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36- You spent 130 on your Shelley tea service set.- Mm-hm.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Is that the item that you like the best?
0:22:39 > 0:22:41It isn't the item I like the best -
0:22:41 > 0:22:44the one I like the best are the wooden spoons -
0:22:44 > 0:22:47but it's the one that I think is going to make the most profit.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And what about you? Do you agree with your sister here?
0:22:50 > 0:22:52My favourite is the Shelley tea set.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55But you would think that because you were the one that negotiated it.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58- Yes, I was, yes.- And pretty good they were, too, Anita.- Were they?
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Believe you me, they didn't need me for the negotiating.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02They were brilliant on their own.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- OK, girls, you spent £178.- Yeah.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- Could I have £122?- Yes, you may.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- There you go.- Lovely. Oh, Raj is there rubbing his hands.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17- I am, I am.- Do you know what you are going to buy?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18I've got a clue.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I've got a clue. I think I did spot something.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Let's hope it's still there when I go in.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Oh, OK. There you are, Raj.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26- Lovely.- Very good luck on that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29While Raj goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32let's check out what the Blues bought.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35First up, Stephen and Helena poured £74 of the cash
0:23:35 > 0:23:37into this silver jug.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41Will this jewellery box be playing a happy tune at auction?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Only £14 paid.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And finally, I'm sure our pastor will be praying for a profit
0:23:46 > 0:23:49on this card box bought for £15.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Well, well, well, smiling faces. Did you have a good shop?
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- Yes.- We did.- Yes.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00Now, I know your tactics were to spend small
0:24:00 > 0:24:04and that went out of the window on the first item.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Was it something that you fell in love with?- Yes.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10It just had "buy me" written all over it, so we did.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13- Is your expensive item your favourite item?- Yes, the silver jug.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15That's my favourite item.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19But is that the item that's going to make you most profit?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21- No, I don't think so.- No?
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I think that will be the little jewellery box
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- in the shape of a piano. - What was your favourite item?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Well, it probably was the same, really.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30It was a nice silver jug at the start.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35It's decorative, nice, and so I think that's my favourite.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37That's your favourite, and what about the best profit?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And I think it's probably going to be the jewellery box.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45Right, OK, so nice married couple agreeing with one another.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- That's what it's all about. - We hope so.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52You hope so. Your total is £103.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Could you give me 197, please?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58197.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00Mark, that is a whack of money.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02It's a huge amount of money, Anita.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04You going to spend it all?
0:25:04 > 0:25:07I'm going to be very decisive...
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- LAUGHTER - ..and buy you something big.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Good luck, Mark, but right now we are going to head to Lincolnshire
0:25:13 > 0:25:15and Collin Young's auction.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Today, we're at Golding Young Auctioneers
0:25:26 > 0:25:28with our auctioneer Colin Young.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Colin, it's lovely to be back here.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33A delight to have you here as well, Anita.
0:25:33 > 0:25:39Now, for the Reds today, our first item is this art glass vase.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- You like it?- I do like it, yes.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46You know, we get boxfuls of this sent in for virtually every sale.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50Clearly, it is an art form and a design that people want.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And you know, Colin, it is not cheaply made.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- It has a good weight, so we've got a wee bit of quality there.- Yes.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59What's your estimate for it?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Well, I've put an estimate of 15 to 30 because we see them
0:26:03 > 0:26:06so often, you know where the estimate it's going to be.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- They paid £15.- Oh, right.- So, with a fair wind behind them...
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- Yeah.- ..they could double their money.- They could. That is possible.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Second item, the three rustic spoons.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Tell me what you think of those.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I'm going to ask first how much they paid for them.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24They paid £33.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Right, 15 to 30.- 15 to 30.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29HE INHALES SHARPLY You don't like them, Colin?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30No, I think they're great!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32But it's three wooden kitchen implements.
0:26:32 > 0:26:39Yes, but cooking, baking and all things to do with the making of food
0:26:39 > 0:26:40is popular today.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Let's see if they are going to win the Great British Lot Off, then.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47SHE LAUGHS OK, so their third item.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51This tea set was chosen by Maxine.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Tell me what you think.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56I think it is a really, really good lot.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00The condition is good throughout. The colours are nicely muted.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Really strong orange band across them.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06There's a lot of positives and an estimate of £100 to £150,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- I think, does reflect size, scale and pattern.- Mm-hm.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- They paid £130.- OK.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15So, are you predicting that this will make a profit
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- or it has a very good chance? - Yes, it does.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- All in all, not too bad here. - No, it's good.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23They may not need their bonus buy,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26but we're going to have a look at it anyway.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Well, girls, this is the exciting part.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34We've left him £122,
0:27:34 > 0:27:36which is a goodly sum.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Raj, what did you spend the money on?
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Well, you did leave me a good amount,
0:27:41 > 0:27:42but I didn't spend all of it.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- Are you ready, ladies?- Ready.- Yes.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- THEY GASP - Voila.- Oh, nice.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51It's a little display cabinet with a tray top.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53I like that, yes. Impressed.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55- I think it's very saleable. - What did you pay for it, though?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57£50, that's all.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Wow!- Yeah.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Think we could make a profit on that, don't you?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I certainly hope so.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06We will probably go with it, but we're not deciding yet, though.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Oh, no, you don't need to decide yet, girls.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12We until your first three items have been sold.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16But we are going to ask Colin, our auctioneer,
0:28:16 > 0:28:21if he thinks that this little cabinet will display a profit.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26Raj's bonus buy is a too big for me to whisk on to the table, Colin.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Tell me what do you think of it.
0:28:27 > 0:28:32Well, when we had a sneaky look at it, I like the brass detail on it.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35The problem is even the period ones, the best models,
0:28:35 > 0:28:37really make little money now.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39But I've placed an estimate of 40 to 60,
0:28:39 > 0:28:41and I think that does reflect what we've got.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44- Raj, paid £50 on that.- OK.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47It's the type of thing that someone might fancy strongly.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50That's all for the Reds. Now to the Blues.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Stephen and Helena both loved this elegant silver jug.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56What do you think of it, Colin?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58I really like it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02It's high Victoriana with such a mixture of styles.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05All that and more, Colin. And a good London maker.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Indeed. Maurice Freeman.
0:29:07 > 0:29:08Very popular.
0:29:08 > 0:29:13They did produce an awful lot of these type of wares, and very
0:29:13 > 0:29:16synonymous with, again, this mixture of styles
0:29:16 > 0:29:18into a single body.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20I've put an estimate of £60 to £90.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Now, is that because I really, really like it
0:29:22 > 0:29:25or because that's what it's going to make?
0:29:25 > 0:29:28- What do you think? - They paid £74 for it.- OK.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31So, a good estimate. A good estimate.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34And if they get the higher estimate,
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- they're going to make a profit. - Yeah.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Second item was chosen by Helena.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43It's a little jewellery box in the form of a grand piano.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45What do you think? They think it's going to make the most profit.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48They didn't pay a lot for it. What do you estimate it at?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Well, my estimate is 15 to 30 for it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Really nice figuring of walnut on it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57It's a little bit bleached out to one side, but in essence,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00it's a good decorative desktop or tabletop piece.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05They only paid £14 and, I mean, it's just a nice wee thing.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09It's a wee talking point and it has a little bit of charm.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12So, if you can get between 15 and 30,
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- I think they'll be happy. - Good. Excellent.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18The third item is the little pokerwork box.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Steve chose this one. - Has he chosen well, is the question.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Yeah, well, what do you think? - Well, I like it.
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Date-wise, you are looking at late 19th century, maybe 1900, 1910.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32It's got that sort of pokerwork look about it of an earlier
0:30:32 > 0:30:36period, but it is actually just a more or less stained or an
0:30:36 > 0:30:38ink-stained, beech design.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42It's all in good order, so I would put £15 to £30 on it.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Well, they only paid £15 on it,
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- so there could be a profit in that little box.- There could well be.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Well, it's all looking quite good for the Blues here.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54They may not need their bonus buy,
0:30:54 > 0:30:58but we are going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03Stephen, Helena, you left Mark quite a bit of money.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05Did you want him to spend it all?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- BOTH:- No.- Not all. - LAUGHTER
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Will he have spent a lot of money?
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- Yes, he would have spent a lot of money.- Mark, reveal all.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- Well, I will.- Ahh!
0:31:17 > 0:31:21You see, I really like this. It's not terribly old. It's...
0:31:21 > 0:31:25I don't know, 20, 30 years old, but I think it's really nicely done.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27And it fits an old and a new house.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30This would look lovely on a Georgian side table.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34So, how much did you...spend?
0:31:34 > 0:31:39I spent £170 on it, which is the gamble, isn't it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41How much do you think it's going to get at auction?
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- About £1.70. - THEY LAUGH
0:31:43 > 0:31:46No, I don't know. It really does depend.
0:31:46 > 0:31:50It wouldn't surprise me if it made a profit, but on the other hand,
0:31:50 > 0:31:52it's a tricky decision.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56You don't need to make your mind up just now, and it might require
0:31:56 > 0:31:59a lot of thought and discussion,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01but for the moment,
0:32:01 > 0:32:06let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Mark's purchase.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Mark bought this rather substantial item here.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14Do you like it, Colin?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17I do. I think it's a very nice piece of art.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21It's nicely sculpted, good base to it as well.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Clearly not very old, but it's certainly got a look about it.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30I put it estimate of 50 to 80, but I could easily see it making 100, 120.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31That sort of figure.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Mark pushed the boats out.
0:32:33 > 0:32:40- He had lots of money to spend and he paid £170 for this bronze.- OK.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I think it's a terrific item
0:32:42 > 0:32:45and I think that it was well-spotted by Mark.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49And I know he took a chance on 170, but I think he
0:32:49 > 0:32:54was maybe thinking, "If I like it, someone else is going to like it."
0:32:54 > 0:32:59- And the materials are there. It is bronze.- It is.- It is marble.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Thank you very much, Colin. Now, are you going to take our sale today?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- I will be on the rostrum today, Anita.- I can't wait.

0:33:23 > 0:33:25- It is exciting?- Very.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59- At £15 you've broken even. - Well, that's good.- That's OK.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02- We can live with that.- That's fine.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Your next items coming up are those wonderful rustic spoons.

0:34:56 > 0:34:58This is really lovely, Anita.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02You paid £130, a lot of money, but you did a very good deal on it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- You got the price down a lot. - We did, we did.- Well done on that.

0:35:52 > 0:35:53Are you going to take the bonus buy?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56Put our trust in him? Yeah, definitely.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- Are you sure?- Yeah, we're going to put our trust in you.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- Are you absolutely sure, girls? BOTH:- Absolutely.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35At 48 bid, 50 now. Last call for anybody in the room.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Selling then at £48.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40Oooh!
0:36:40 > 0:36:4348. It didn't quite make it.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47And it ate a little bit into your profit, but only by £2.
0:36:47 > 0:36:53But, girls, don't go out with big smiles on your faces, all right?
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Because £10 could be a winning score
0:36:57 > 0:37:02- and we don't want the Blues to know a thing.- No. Zip!
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Stephen, Helena, here we are in the auction. We have a packed room.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- How are you feeling? - I'm nervous. Apprehensive.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Your first item is the little jug which was a lovely item. Loved it.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- And you both loved it.- We did, yes. - You both loved it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- My favourite item. - Paid quite a lot of money.
0:37:28 > 0:37:32- Do you regret that now?- No, it's quality, quality. It'll be fine.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Well, I love an optimist.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37Lot number 176, Victorian silver jug this time.
