0:00:03 > 0:00:06Today, I'm in Hemswell Antiques Centre in Lincolnshire.
0:00:06 > 0:00:09And it's brimming with goodies.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14But it's also a place where I can practise the local dialect.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18It's the perfect place for skegging!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21That means "being nosy"!
0:00:21 > 0:00:24Or we could make friends with some frim folk.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- Hi!- Hello.- That's "strangers".
0:00:27 > 0:00:31But, hopefully, our teams won't find themselves far welter'd.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34That means "in a tricky situation".
0:00:34 > 0:00:38So, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Housed in an old RAF base,
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Hemswell is Europe's largest indoor antiques centre,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08with around 400 dealers selling their goodies,
0:01:08 > 0:01:10so there is plenty on offer.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Our teams have £300 and one hour to root out some bargains which will
0:01:15 > 0:01:17hopefully make a profit at auction.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19Let's see what's coming up.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Pressure mounts in the Red team.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Rock, hard place, me!
0:01:26 > 0:01:27SHE LAUGHS
0:01:27 > 0:01:28And the Blue team know what they want.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- We're having it.- So much for the plan.
0:01:32 > 0:01:33She's so decisive!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36And there's excitement at the auction.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- Yes!- Going...
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yes!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42But that's all for later.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49For the Reds, we have husband and wife, Peter and Ruth.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54And for the Blues we have mum and daughter, Marla and Dawn.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Hello, everyone!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58- ALL:- Hello! - ANITA LAUGHS
0:01:58 > 0:02:02Now, Peter, you two met in a very romantic way.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04When was that?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Well, it was Christmas Day, 50 years ago.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- 50 years ago?!- 50 years ago.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12We were in this olde-worlde pub, and I was in there with a girlfriend,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15we were waiting for our dates to come in that we'd just met the night
0:02:15 > 0:02:19before. And while I was waiting, Peter came in and he said,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21"Now, I know this sounds a bit cheeky,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24"would it be all right if I gave you a kiss?"
0:02:24 > 0:02:26My friend says, "Oh, go on!
0:02:26 > 0:02:28"Go on. He's had the nerve to say it."
0:02:28 > 0:02:32He grabbed me really tight and gave me a really big, long kiss.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36While he was kissing me, my date came in and tapped me on the shoulder,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38and oh, my goodness!
0:02:38 > 0:02:40So you can imagine how that date went.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42He who dares, wins!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Well, it's worked, hasn't it?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Peter, you have a fab job.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- Tell me about that. - Well, I'm a magician.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Oh, I love it! I love it.- Do you? Do you like magic?- I love magic.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- Oh, brilliant.- Can you show me a trick?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- I thought you'd never ask.- Oh!
0:02:58 > 0:03:04If you tie a knot in the handkerchief, like this, pull it really tight,
0:03:04 > 0:03:09whatever you wish on that knot will come true, if the knot disappears.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Whisper to it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- (Horse.)- Ooh!
0:03:15 > 0:03:18OK. Hold it a bit looser, and if that's disapp...
0:03:18 > 0:03:23And it has. Your wish will definitely come true.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Wow. I wonder what she wished for?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27LAUGHTER
0:03:27 > 0:03:29That's terrific.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Ruth, I believe you had an interesting job with your husband.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38When he asked me out, he had a secret motive, because he said,
0:03:38 > 0:03:43"What I really would like also from you is for you to be my magical
0:03:43 > 0:03:46"assistant." The biggest thing I had to wear was a smile.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- Oh, right!- I had to come on, he was the star, obviously.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50- Aw!- I did my best.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53What do you know about antiques?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We collect them and we love antiques.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Well, very good luck to you.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02But now, we're going over to our marvellous Blues here.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05We've got mum and daughter, Dawn and Marla.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Now, Marla, you ran a pub.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I believe it was a very interesting pub.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16It was built in the 1700s, it was very hard work, but great fun.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- Yes.- We were always having themed evenings
0:04:19 > 0:04:21and it was next to the canal,
0:04:21 > 0:04:24so we had greasy pole competitions across the canal.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25It's a way of life, running a pub.
0:04:25 > 0:04:32Yeah. Now, Dawn, you've had some pretty interesting jobs as well.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37Quite recently, I worked for the RSPB and we focused on looking after
0:04:37 > 0:04:40tiny sea birds that come and breed in the Solent.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- All right.- They're called little terns,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and here's one I prepared earlier.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46And that is the size of the little tern.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49And they come and breed in the UK every year,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51but the numbers are reduced dramatically
0:04:51 > 0:04:53and so we were trying to make
0:04:53 > 0:04:55sure that when they came to breed in the UK,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58we created a most fabulous des res for them.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00That everything would be perfect for their arrival.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02That's absolutely wonderful.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07Are you the hostess with the mostess for terns?
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Absolutely, absolutely!
0:05:08 > 0:05:11Well, what about Bargain Hunting?
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- I love pictures. - Right.- I've got over 100 pictures.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Haven't got enough wall space for the pictures.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18What about tactics?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- We're not telling you!- Oh!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Are you not telling me because they might overhear?
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- Yeah!- Well, that all sounds absolutely fantastic,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30so I better give you some money.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32300 smackeroos.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Thank you.- 300 smackeroos.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Thank you.- Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40Thank you very much.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Thank you.- I sense magic in the air today.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Our competitive teams need a couple of very talented experts.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55Hoping to have the magical touch for the Reds, it's Christina Trevanion.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59And steering the Blues in the right direction, it's Nick Hall.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What's on your shopping list?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Well, I would like to find some antique jewellery.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Well, I'm looking for something quite inexpensive,
0:06:06 > 0:06:08but looks really expensive.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Something exotic. Something outrageous.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Fabulous, darling.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Something like a giant Mexican statue or something like that.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18So, both teams have a clear idea of what they want,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21and they are looking for the unusual.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Let battle commence!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Your time starts now, teams.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Right, let's go shopping, come on.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- Yay!- OK, well, I'll see if I can find one of those for you.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34This place is a treasure trove,
0:06:34 > 0:06:38so fingers crossed they can find what they are looking for here.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Oh, look at all this! Wonderful.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45And something has grabbed the Reds' attention already.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- And as you know, I'm a magician. - Yeah.- Just imagine that that, on stage,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52saying, "The next show starts at..."
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- Your next magic show? - Yes.- That's a great idea!
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's a wonderfully nostalgic piece, isn't it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- How much is it?- It's £185.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03So, come on, Peter!
0:07:03 > 0:07:04- Let's move on.- Let's move on.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07That's a sensible idea, Ruth.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11Meanwhile, Dawn's eagle eye has landed on some jewellery.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Nick, the necklace at the back...
0:07:13 > 0:07:14- Oh, I like that.- That's usual, isn't it?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Very pretty. It's very you, that is.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Oh, don't be silly.- It's very you!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22It's just outrageously glamorous.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23That's one to think about.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27And the Reds have found another striking object.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I do like this elephant.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- This elephant?!- I think this looks very noticeable, very striking.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35But what's the price on it, Ruth?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- £75.- Yes, £75.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Let's have a little bit of a closer look at it.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42It hasn't got a huge amount of age to it.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46It's probably German, it's got a fat lava, or a lava glaze, to it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Yeah.- And there are collectors of that,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53but not huge collectors, and they like it because it's affordable.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57At auction, I would put it at maybe £30 to £50.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Mm.- £40 to £60 on a good day.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Would it be possible if they could just save it for a short time?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06All right, well, you guys keep browsing and I'll put this behind.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- If there's anything else that catches your eye, I'll be back in two minutes.- Thank you.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12While Christina puts the elephant on the back burner,
0:08:12 > 0:08:17the Blues have found another glamorous item.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Good spot! It's absolutely beautiful.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- It is.- Shall we take it out of the cupboard and have a closer
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- look?- Yes.- Put that in your hand and have a look at that.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Oh, it's gorgeous.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28It looks classic Art Deco, doesn't it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30French, 1920s.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- Open it up.- Yeah?- Oh, it's lovely.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Oddly enough, there's another very similar one just here.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Now, Dawn, what do you think of that?
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Gosh!- It's lovely, isn't it? - Isn't that beautiful?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I mean, they're both exquisite.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48This one's obviously got a lot more decoration going on.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- So this would be...- 1920s?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52I think so. Again, classic Art Deco.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54I'm just concerned about the condition of that.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56The handle is really quite...
0:08:56 > 0:09:01- fragile and delicate.- It is, isn't it?- I don't think you can really realistically use that.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Whereas that seems in lovely condition.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07So that's what concerns me, really.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- And how much is that?- Right, well, this one is £68.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- OK.- And then this one is how much?
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- Oh, 24, no, spot on.- Yeah!
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Which one are you two erring towards?- We've got nothing to lose.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21We've got nothing to lose on the price of that, I think.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23OK, so, this one we're going to reject?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- I think so.- I think you're spot on, I think it's a really good decision.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30- And you're quite interested in buying that?- Yes.- You just want to get a bit of the price off it?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34- If possible.- That would be lovely. - So who's the haggler out of you two?
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- Me.- So, if I take that...
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Thank you.- Are you going to go and see if you can do a deal on that?
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- I will indeed.- And come and report back, and haggle hard!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- I will.- Good luck.- Lovely.- Thank you.- OK.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Marla is off to do the deal, but what's the best price?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Ah! Have you come bearing news?
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Not bad. Ticket price was 24.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Yeah?- And they said 22, and I think 22 is fine.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- So, £22, what do you think? - Well, I'm still happy with it.- I am.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05- You're going to buy it?- Yeah.- Right, so, first item bought, number one.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- And so quickly!- In about ten minutes.- Fabulous.- Wow.- It's lovely. - And glamorous.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Put that back in the cabinet, we'll go and see if we can find item number two.- Lovely.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13God, what a great start!
0:10:13 > 0:10:16It's going to be an absolute breeze with you two. Come on. Top shoppers,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18well done. Come on.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22That's a great buy, and with just seven minutes on the clock,
0:10:22 > 0:10:24the Blues are off to a great start.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29The Reds have been scanning the shop, and it looks like Ruth has her
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- sights on something.- Do you like that brass letter rack there?
0:10:33 > 0:10:34She's very fancy, isn't she?
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- She's lovely, isn't she? - Bring your letters to me!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Brass letter rack, marked up at £28.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- That's very nice. - Would that be a reproduction?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46No, I don't think so. It's probably Art Nouveau.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48It's a good-looking thing.
0:10:48 > 0:10:49- Mmm.- I quite like that, do you?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I do actually, yeah.- She's certainly very stylish and very of the period.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56If you think of the period of Art Nouveau, 1880-1910,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59it's very much this sort of sinuous lines, so she's very,
0:10:59 > 0:11:00very of that period.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04- Mmm.- She's very glamorous, she's wonderfully, diaphanously clad.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06This wonderful tumbling hair.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08You could just imagine that on your desk, double sided.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Yes.- Taking your correspondence out...
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Taking the electric bills out, and the gas bills.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16- CHRISTINA LAUGHS - Should we go and see what's the best price they can do?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I think we should, because even if it's just a little bit off,
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- I think it's worth taking a gamble. - It sits well, doesn't it?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- And it would look nice in my house.- It would look nice in her hall.- Oh!
0:11:25 > 0:11:28You can tell we've been married a long time, we keep saying the same thing!
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Married 50 years, we're bound to say the same thing, aren't we? - Aw!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Right, come on then, let's go and find a price.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Ah, Esme, just the lady we need. Come on here, right.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39- Oh, hello.- Esme, this is Ruth and Peter.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45- Hello.- They've spotted this little Art Nouveau style letter rack.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48It's got £28 on it, what can you do for that?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- DEALER:- The dealer's best price would be £25.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- RUTH:- Would it?- Right.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- RUTH:- We'll take it, then, because I really like it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- DEALER:- All right, then.- All right, £25.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02- There we are.- Thank you very much. - RUTH:- Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. £25.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Marvellous, well done, team, first one down.- RUTH:- Thank you.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- We had a good look round here, shall we pop over to the other building?- Yeah?- Shall we do that?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11Yes. All right. Let's do it, let's go.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14The Reds also have their first item in the bag with 18 minutes on the
0:12:14 > 0:12:16clock.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18So time to widen their search.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Meanwhile, what have the Blues spotted?
0:12:21 > 0:12:25Now, ladies, I've found something I think you might be interested in.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Hmm?- What do you think?- Ah.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- Do you know what they are?- Artillery shells.- Yes.- Artillery shells.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32There's a very specific name for this type of collecting,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- do you know what it is?- No. - Trench art. Currently,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38there's a real resurgence and interest in all world war related
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- objects.- So this is contemporary,
0:12:40 > 0:12:45somebody at the time would have made these patterns on the used shells?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Absolutely right. These would have been spent shells that while they were
0:12:48 > 0:12:52whiling away the hours of endless in between time,
0:12:52 > 0:12:54they would just sit and just decorate and decorate.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56And there's a French...
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Is it "soixante"?- Yeah, you've got some text on there.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01"Souvenir de la guerre."
0:13:01 > 0:13:04They are £58 for the pair.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- Interested?- Yes.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Find out how much.- OK, I'll go and ask the questions and see what they say.- Lovely.- Thank you.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12While Nick goes off to investigate the price,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16it looks like Peter is trying to work his magic for the Reds.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- What do you think?- Can I just test it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- Yes.- See if I produce the magic? - Yeah, go on. Just in case.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27If you squeeze your wrist, sometimes, if it's a genuine, it might just...
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Yeah. It's actually stick... Yeah. It is quite good, actually.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- It's a magic wand!- Yeah.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34You could use it as a magic wand.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37While the Reds try to magic up some bargains,
0:13:37 > 0:13:39how did Nick get on for the Blues?
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Do you know what? I feel like I've been in the trenches doing battle.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- THEY LAUGH - Blimey.- Come on, darling.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46They're a tough crowd here.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49- They are.- OK, we can get it down to 50, but that's it,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51they won't go any lower.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52And I battled hard for you.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Thank you, my darling. But I don't think they'd fetch 50, do you?
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Don't you? I think you've got a good chance,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59because of what's happening at the moment,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02looking back nostalgically with all that happened in the trenches in
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- the first war.- I'd rather this than the necklace. Let's have these.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08So, is this going to be our big guns for number two buy?
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- Yeah.- And if we lose money on it, we'll have to...- We'll come and get you.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14We'll have to come and get you!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- Yeah, not with bayonet, I hope. - THEY LAUGH
0:14:17 > 0:14:18- OK, well, we're done.- Thank you.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Well, that's number two bought. - Oh, my goodness!
0:14:21 > 0:14:24- We're doing really well, you two. - Are we?- I knew it.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26You two are fantastic shoppers.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30The Blues are ahead with two items in just 29 minutes,
0:14:30 > 0:14:32so while both teams continue searching,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35I've been having a bit of a rummage.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39In places like this, some dealers specialise,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42whilst others focus on the unusual.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45And here's some I'd like to show you.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Gary, I...
0:14:47 > 0:14:49love this. The words that I'm
0:14:49 > 0:14:52thinking about are "eclectic", "eccentric"...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Well, I just like to think of it as weird and wonderful.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Oh, yeah.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01My eyes have been pulled round this shop, and I see so many unusual things.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04What on earth is that?
0:15:04 > 0:15:08In the days before policemen on the beat had personal radios,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12the way that the station, the police station, would contact them,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14would be by lighting this light,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18which was fixed on the top of the police telephone box.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21So when the policeman on the beat saw the light was on,
0:15:21 > 0:15:22he'd go to the box,
0:15:22 > 0:15:27phone the station and they would then direct him to whatever incident
0:15:27 > 0:15:28- had occurred.- Wow.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33I think it could be wired up with a modern light fitting inside, and
0:15:33 > 0:15:37what a wonderful, you know, unusual lamp to have.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39And, Gary, I've spotted something over there.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43That looks an interesting item.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46- What is it?- It's what they called a gold changer.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49You can see it's marked either 20 shillings or ten shillings.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52So if you wanted to change one of those coins,
0:15:52 > 0:15:56you would put it in the slot and the coin would fall on that lever,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59which would allow this drawer to open.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05And in the drawer, you see these little tin containers?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Mm-hm.- And they would have the equivalent amount of money,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12but in possibly shillings and two shillings, or whatever.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17- Small change.- The empty container would be pushed through the slot.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Do you know, I've never seen one of those before.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25I've spotted something else over there that I think is lovely.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Come and tell me about that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Well, this is basically a letterbox.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34But it would have been in the lobby of either a large country house or
0:16:34 > 0:16:37hotel, and then once or twice a day,
0:16:37 > 0:16:42a servant would empty this and take the letters down to the Post Office.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44These items are so unusual
0:16:44 > 0:16:47that it must be hard to put a price on them.
0:16:47 > 0:16:52It is difficult, especially when these things are so rare.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57For the police box light, for instance, we're asking £295.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01The gold changer, 345.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05But this is 1,650.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07But it's such a lovely and rare piece
0:17:07 > 0:17:10that we'd be quite happy to keep it if it didn't sell.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13Thank you very much for showing me around your
0:17:13 > 0:17:17wonderful collection. But now it's time to get back to the teams.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21I wonder if they've found anything as intriguing.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25They're 30 minutes in and the Blues are ahead with two items,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27while the Reds have just one.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30But have they found something?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Oh, that's nice, that little vesta.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Exactly, yes, let's have another look at that. So, unfortunately,
0:17:35 > 0:17:37there's a little bit of damage on it. It's been over polished.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39- Yeah, it has.- It so often happens.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43- When it's been embossed, as it has, it's been pressed out.- Yeah.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45When people polish them, they polish away the high points,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48which shows it's probably quite a thin gauge of silver,
0:17:48 > 0:17:53but silver matchbox covers, little vesta sleeve, Birmingham, 1909.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55- £18.- Mmm.- What do you think?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58If there's some damage on it, you know...
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Not convinced?- Well, I'd like to think about it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04OK, all right. Let's put it back and we'll keep looking.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05Yes. Ooh!
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Oh, Peter, see that gold coach?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Shall we just investigate and see what's that made of?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12PETER LAUGHS
0:18:12 > 0:18:15All that glitters might not be gold, guys!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- Very good! - CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Too true. So, while they continue looking,
0:18:20 > 0:18:24have the Blues found anything exotic and outrageous yet?
0:18:24 > 0:18:25- Oh, we like...- What have you found now?
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- You're busy bees, you two.- We've found this chunk of pot.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- It's a big old pot, isn't it?- It is.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34The trouble with studio pottery is people collect by potter.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- Yeah.- So it's got to be a potter that somebody knows and collects.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39It's a nice-looking vase, it's not a lot of money.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's going to struggle at auction.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Is it?- Yeah. But, a nice pot, but not in our bag.
0:18:45 > 0:18:46- Thank you, thank you.- Thank you, darling.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Nick's right. It's all about making a profit.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53Meanwhile, Ruth has her sights set on that golden carriage.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55What did you see? The coach on the top?
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- Yeah.- Yes. It's certainly...
0:18:57 > 0:18:59"Giltwood cased coach, £75."
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It certainly looks to me like the Coronation coach, doesn't it?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Yes.- Mmm.- I mean, has somebody made that in the wood shop, or...?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Yeah, I would suggest that's exactly what's happened to it.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Glancing down, my eyes have just fallen on that.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14That's very unusual.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Oh, let's have a look.- Right.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Ah.- There's nothing at the bottom.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21No, there's nothing at the bottom.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23That is a British piece rather than...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25It's purporting to be Chinese,
0:19:25 > 0:19:28and I would suggest it's probably turn of the century.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29I do like it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- It's quite splendid, isn't it? - Yes.- Mmm.- Yeah.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34I actually love it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- Do you?- I don't like it, I love it. - Oh, really?- I love it!
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I would suggest originally it was one of a pair.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- Oh.- And it's now by itself.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43And it's marked at £50.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- But I don't want to burst your bubble.- Oh, no. I think that would go for £80.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I think it's a beautiful thing, and if you think it will sell,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53then go for it. I think at auction, you're looking at £30-£50.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Just have a feel of it. - I know, it's really heavy and...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58It's not really heavy, it's just...
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Well, I think...- It just looks so good, doesn't it?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I've never seen one like that before, have you?
0:20:02 > 0:20:04So, we have had 35 minutes,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07so we've had over half our time now and we've got two things on the back
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- burner, we've only bought one thing.- Yeah.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12So, if it's between... The elephant, remember, is in a whole different
0:20:12 > 0:20:14building, it's going to take us time to get back there as well.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Which do you think would sell?
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Ah...
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Rock, hard place, me!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- I think...- If you've set your heart
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- on it, darling, then...- She has, obviously.- Yeah.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29- I prefer it to the elephant. - Do you?- I do.- It's yours, yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Do you actually like it? - That doesn't make any difference.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Should we just go and see how much
0:20:33 > 0:20:34- we can get it for? Let's do that. - Yeah.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37- It's a good idea.- Come on!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Time for Ruth to try her haggling skills.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44This is 50, and I was wondering if you could make it 40?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- Please.- I can't make it 40.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50It's marked up at £50, but I'll do it for 42 for you.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- We'll take it.- PETER:- Another deal done.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Thank you for being so generous. - Brilliant, team, well done.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- You've got two of your items, only one to go.- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59So, shall we give the marked vase to Margaret for now?
0:20:59 > 0:21:00- Thank you.- And we'll keep shopping.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03- We've got no time to spare, come on! Let's go!- Thank you.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07So, with 37 minutes on the clock, the Reds have their second item,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10but I get the feeling that Ruth is in charge here.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I think we should move on.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16We ought to move on and see what else we can see.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- Who's in charge?- I'm so excited.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21CHRISTINA LAUGHS
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Both teams have one item to find and there are literally thousands of
0:21:26 > 0:21:27things on offer here.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31But it looks like Nick has found something he thinks might appeal to
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- the Blues.- So, ladies, this is the inkwell I spotted earlier.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Oh, yes.- Isn't that cute?
0:21:37 > 0:21:40- Oh...- It's silver plate onto a copper base.
0:21:40 > 0:21:41But the nice thing is,
0:21:41 > 0:21:43you've got the original hinged lid and the glass
0:21:43 > 0:21:44inkwell, all there.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47You've got a little maker's mark in there, which I haven't had
0:21:47 > 0:21:49chance to look at, but the fact that
0:21:49 > 0:21:51it's stamped with an original maker's mark
0:21:51 > 0:21:53gives it an air of quality.
0:21:53 > 0:21:54How old is it?
0:21:54 > 0:21:57This would be sort of Art Nouveau period.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Would it?- Sort of 1900, 1910.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02So it's £48. But, you'll like this,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I had a chat with the dealer earlier when I spotted it and he said it
0:22:05 > 0:22:07could be ours at 40 if you really want it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- We're having it.- So much for the big buy.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11She's so decisive!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13No, you wanted a big buy, I didn't.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15How much do you think this would get at auction?
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Well, I would hope it's going to make 50, £60, £70,
0:22:18 > 0:22:19something like that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well, look, before we make a final decision,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25we've still got that rather stylish necklace as a plan B if you wanted
0:22:25 > 0:22:27to make a beeline back for it?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Beeline... You don't like it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31- I don't like it.- I like this better than the necklace anyway, now.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- You're erring towards this?- Yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35You're definitely sold on that, aren't you?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Executive decision, Mum. - Yes.- £40.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Yes.- Third item bought. - We've done very well.- We're there!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42We are.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- Fantastic!- Thank you.- Well done, Nick.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, that's everything done. Are you happy? It is.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Yeah...- Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Great stuff. Well, that's ours, so, come on,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54let's go and get it paid for. And then go get a cup of tea, shall we?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Well done, Blues. They have all their items with 48 minutes on
0:22:58 > 0:23:02the clock. So can the Red team magic up their final deal?
0:23:02 > 0:23:04All right, I have a trick up my sleeve.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Right, you two wait here, just for two seconds.- OK.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12Potentially, every magician needs some of these.
0:23:12 > 0:23:18Open your hand. Not one, but two magic dice.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19- What do we think?- Are they silver, then?
0:23:19 > 0:23:24They are. These are £26, that's £13 apiece.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27These would be really good for a birthday present for a chap,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29potentially, who played cards.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Or I was thinking, with your magic tricks...?
0:23:31 > 0:23:36I do close-up magic and this could be used
0:23:36 > 0:23:38in a close-up routine.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40You would be the envy of your magic circle with silver dice.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Yes, solid silver, yeah.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43- It's true.- It's pretty flash, isn't it?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I think they are, yeah.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Well, there's only two of them, isn't there?
0:23:48 > 0:23:51They're so small. It's just that they're so small.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53I'd like those myself, to be honest, to do magic with,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55so you were very clever finding these.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- Aw. We got something for you, Peter! - Yes, very good.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- I think we should go with these. - Decision made?- Yes.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Decision made. That's our third and final item.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Let's see Margaret and see if she can take anything off that price.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Oh, Margaret!- Hello.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12On hand as always, I love it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- Of course.- Now, Margaret, we've seen these die here.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18They're marked up at £26.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20What's your thoughts on those?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I would be able to do those for 23 for you.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Well, that's really good.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- Very different.- Yeah. I think they're really cool, aren't they?
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- Yeah.- £23. Are we happy with that, team?- I'm happy with that.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31- Yeah?- Very happy.- Brilliant.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Thank you, Margaret.- Thank you very much.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Wonderful.- Thank you.- Thank you. - Well done, team, that's it!
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- A pleasure doing business with you. - Three items, well done.
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Group hug.- It's hugs all round as the Reds secure the last item with
0:24:44 > 0:24:46time to spare. HORN SOUNDS
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Stop clowning around!
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Time's up.- Oh, can we go and have a cup of tea now, please?- Yeah.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Ruth fell in love with the Art Nouveau style
0:24:59 > 0:25:02brass letter rack at £25.
0:25:02 > 0:25:08Ruth also had to have the distinctive art pottery vase.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10It cost £42.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13And there was magic in the air with Peter's choice,
0:25:13 > 0:25:16a pair of silver dice at £23.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Well, guys, did you have a lovely time?
0:25:19 > 0:25:24- It was fantastic, thank you very much.- We had a marvellous time. - Marvellous.- It's been an experience.
0:25:24 > 0:25:29And you guys had very definite ideas and you went for it, is that right,
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- Christina?- Definite ideas, yes.
0:25:31 > 0:25:32LAUGHTER
0:25:32 > 0:25:35What's your favourite item?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36The vase.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Will it make the best profit?
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Um... I hope so.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43I hope so, because I love it.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45What about you, do you agree with your beautiful wife?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46No.
0:25:46 > 0:25:47LAUGHTER
0:25:47 > 0:25:49What was your favourite item?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53I think it was the silver dice.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Is it going to make the most profit?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Do you know, I think they will, yeah.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02Now, you spent only £90, not a lot of money, so could I have £210?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Lovely, thank you very much.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06That will go off to Christina.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Perfect. That's a goodly amount, isn't it?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Do you know what you want to buy?
0:26:10 > 0:26:11Oh, I don't know.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Top hats? Magician's implements?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16I don't know.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18While Christina goes off on her search,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21let's have a look at what the Blues bought.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25The glamorous Blues loved this mid-20th-century beaded bag.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28It cost just £22.
0:26:28 > 0:26:34The pair of First World War decorated shell cases were £50.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39And the early-20th-century Danish desk stand was £40.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Well, girls, did you have a good time?
0:26:43 > 0:26:44Fabulous. Absolutely.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46What's your favourite item?
0:26:46 > 0:26:47I think the inkwell.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Is that going to make the best profit, though?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Um...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I think it might do, yes.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Right. What was your favourite item?
0:26:55 > 0:26:56The little Art Deco purse that we bought.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Quite quickly.- Is that going to make the best profit though?
0:26:59 > 0:27:00Probably, I think.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Well, fingers crossed.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05You spent £112.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06- Not a lot of money.- No.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11I wanted to blow it all, but I was under instruction.
0:27:11 > 0:27:16If you could give me 188, please, I'll hand it over to Nick.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- Right.- Nick, you're going to have to get something that both the girls
0:27:20 > 0:27:21- agree on.- I know.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22I feel morally obliged.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I've got to spend a lot of money,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27find something glitzy and glamorous like these two lovely ladies.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I think I've got my instructions.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33While Nick goes off on his search,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35we are going to pop off to the auction.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Today, we're at Sheffield Auction Galleries
0:27:49 > 0:27:51with auctioneer Robert Lee.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Robert, it's lovely to be here.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Welcome to Sheffield, Anita.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- Lovely to see you.- Well, let's have a look at our teams' lots.
0:27:58 > 0:28:03The Reds, Peter and Ruth, bought this lot, here.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Their first lot was the Art Nouveau style letter rack.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Well, I have put "style" on.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12So it's not actually Art Nouveau.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It's certainly that decoration,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17but it was made a lot more later than that.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18What's your estimate?
0:28:18 > 0:28:20£10-£20.
0:28:20 > 0:28:25Yeah. They paid £25 for that, so they may have a problem there.
0:28:25 > 0:28:31- Yeah.- Their second item was the art pottery vase.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32I like it, I do.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Yeah, it's nicely worked.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Tell me an estimate on that one.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Well, I've gone more 20-40.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42Yeah. Well, they paid £42, so they have got a bit of a chance there?
0:28:42 > 0:28:44Yeah, I would have thought so, yeah, yeah.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47Quite a reasonable buy, I would have said.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50And their third lot was this pair of silver dice.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Peter is a magician, so these appealed to him.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00But are your buyers going to throw a double six for this lot?
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- What's your estimate?- I've gone in low, £10-£20.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Yeah. Well, they've paid 23.
0:29:06 > 0:29:11But they are the sort of item that might capture someone's imagination.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13- Yeah, they've got a chance.- Good.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Well, a bit of a mixed bag there.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17They may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19but let's go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Peter, Ruth, you left Christina £210.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Christina, what did you buy?
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Now, you two are such a picture-perfect pair.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34We did look at a lot of things, I seem to remember, a lot of things,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37but there was one thing which really stood out for me and I thought this
0:29:37 > 0:29:39would be perfect for you two.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Oh, yes!
0:29:41 > 0:29:44This is hallmarked for London, 1988.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47So often with those early frames, you find they've been cleaned so
0:29:47 > 0:29:49much that the silver does actually wear through.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53This is actually in really, really good condition. There we go.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I really, really like it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57How much did you pay for it?
0:29:57 > 0:29:58I did pay top-end for it.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00I paid £60 for it.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01OK? Which I would say if it
0:30:01 > 0:30:04were an Edwardian example that were in really
0:30:04 > 0:30:06good condition, any day of the week OK?
0:30:06 > 0:30:09But it's not, it's a later example.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Yes. It's a very good choice.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13I knew you'd love it.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14I'm glad you did as well.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17It would make a little bit of profit for us, do you think?
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Well, I would hope so.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20I would hope so and who knows,
0:30:20 > 0:30:22if you put a wonderful picture of you two
0:30:22 > 0:30:25in your magician heyday in it, we might stand a chance.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27LAUGHTER
0:30:27 > 0:30:29The heyday is still happening now, you know!
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Oh, sorry!
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Well, you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38- You wait until after your first three items have been sold.- Yes.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39But in the meantime,
0:30:39 > 0:30:44let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Christina's silver frame.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Silver photograph frame, what do you think?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I've gone in at £20 to £30 and let's hope it does a lot more.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Christina paid £60 for that so it's got to do a lot more.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58You're putting the pressure on me now!
0:30:58 > 0:31:02No pressure! Well, that's it for our Red team, over to our Blues,
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Dawn and Marla.
0:31:03 > 0:31:09Their first item was this very sweet, little, ooh, la, la,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11French evening bag.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13It's not my strongest subject, I'm afraid, Anita.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It's not something I'd use personally.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Yes, it's quite sweet, isn't it?
0:31:19 > 0:31:23The fact that it is French gives it that little bit of style.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Je ne sais quoi.- That is the style.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Now, tell me what is your estimate on that?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Don't shout at me, I've just said five to ten.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34They paid £22.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I think you might be a bit of a tease, Robert.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Is the trench art any more to your taste?
0:31:39 > 0:31:43I like them. All this poker work foliage and what have you.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46What's your estimate on those?
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I've gone in for the pair at 20-40.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Well, they paid £50 for them, Robert,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54so we might have a bit of a problem there.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56But let's go on to our third item.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Is this Danish desk set.
0:31:59 > 0:32:00I can't see any dents in it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02For me, it's in really good order.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04What's your estimate on that?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I've gone 20-40.
0:32:06 > 0:32:0720-40? That's
0:32:07 > 0:32:11good enough because they paid £40 for it.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Robert, it looks like they might have a couple of problems here.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18So, let's go and have a look at the bonus buy.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Dawn, Marla, you gave Nick £188.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Nick, what did you buy and where is it?
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Have I got a treat for you?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30I mean, these lovely, glitzy, glamorous ladies.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35I had to trawl the earth to find something suitably glamorous for you two.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36Hold your thought.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Wait there, I'll be back. Wait a minute.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39Now then, now then.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41What is this?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Are you ready for this? Are you sure?
0:32:48 > 0:32:52- Oh, dear. Hm.- What do you think? Initial thoughts?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Do you like it or not?
0:32:54 > 0:32:55No. Hate it.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57It's weird, isn't it?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It's creepy. It's like a ghost.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- Who would want it?- If I'm honest, that wasn't the reaction I
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- was hoping for!- It's a wedding dress.- It's a wedding dress, of course.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08It's vintage fashion.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10The nice thing is, it's absolutely genuine,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13completely original, from the 1920s I would suggest,
0:33:13 > 0:33:17that sort of period, and you've got this wonderful veil attached to the
0:33:17 > 0:33:21bonnet. I'm hoping someone else falls in love with it as I did.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22Right. Good.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- How much did you pay for it? - Possibly too much, I'm thinking!
0:33:27 > 0:33:29More than £25?
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Yes. Well, actually,
0:33:30 > 0:33:35it was £125 but I had to buy the stand as well to display it on.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37How much is it going to make?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I really don't know. If everyone's reaction is as yours,
0:33:40 > 0:33:42I think this could be a divorce quite quickly.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45Looks like it's just me and you, then.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Come on!
0:33:47 > 0:33:48LAUGHTER
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Girls, you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:33:51 > 0:33:57- Oh, good.- You can wait until after you've sold your first three items.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- OK.- But in the meantime,
0:34:00 > 0:34:06let's see if the auctioneer likes Nick's vintage wedding dress.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12Nick bought this wedding ensemble as his bonus buy.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Do you like it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I do, actually.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I'm not an expert in this sort of thing
0:34:18 > 0:34:20but I can appreciate the quality.
0:34:20 > 0:34:21A lot of work has gone into that.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26Well, Nick paid £125.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I've gone in at 30-50.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- I've a lot to do, haven't I?- You have a hard job to do.
0:34:31 > 0:34:37But if anyone can do it, Robert, you can.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38SHE LAUGHS
0:34:40 > 0:34:41Five, eight, ten.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Going, going. The hammer's going to drop.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Going, going. To you, madam.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50Peter, Ruth, are we going to make magic today?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52I just hope we do well.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54All my fingers are crossed and my toes as well.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Are you excited?- Very.- Very.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Very excited. That's what I like, excitement, excitement.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01My palms are sweating.
0:35:03 > 0:35:04Your first item is coming up.
0:35:04 > 0:35:10It's the Art Nouveau style letter rack and you paid £25 for it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12It's coming under the hammer right now.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Brass letter rack. Let's go low, £10 for it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18A tenner for it. Ten, 12, 15, 18, £20.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Got to be 22 now.
0:35:20 > 0:35:2220 bid. 22 bid on the internet.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23Anyone else at 25?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Anybody else interested?
0:35:26 > 0:35:27It's on the internet at 22, it's going to sell.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30One last look at 22. I'll give you another second.
0:35:30 > 0:35:31All done, are we, at 22?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Going, going... In at 25.- Yes!
0:35:33 > 0:35:3428, please.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Going, going.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37HAMMER THUDS
0:35:37 > 0:35:41£25.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44No gain, no pain, no loss.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Your next item is the art pottery vase.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50It cost £42. Here it is.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51It's a beauty.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53£30 to kick us off, come on.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56£30 for it. There must be 35.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Must be 35 if you want to join in.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Must be £35.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Anybody else in? It's selling at £30.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02One last look. All done at 30.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04It's gone.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05£30.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Oh, that's minus 12 on that one.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11So, after your first two items,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14we're at minus 12, which is not too bad.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Our third item is the dice.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Will that give us double sixes?
0:36:19 > 0:36:20Let's hope so.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21£20 for them.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27£20, 22, 25, 25. 28, sir?
0:36:27 > 0:36:2925 bid on the internet.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3028 must be. 28. 30, we're after.
0:36:30 > 0:36:3328 bid on the internet, 30, I'm after.
0:36:33 > 0:36:3535 bid on the internet. Who's on £40?
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Get your hands up quick. Hammer's going to drop at £35.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39- Going, going. - HAMMER THUDS
0:36:39 > 0:36:43£35, that is absolutely wonderful.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48So, you have made a profit of £12
0:36:48 > 0:36:51so your very final score
0:36:51 > 0:36:54is zero. It will all depend
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- on the bonus buy.- If we've got...
0:36:57 > 0:37:02The photograph frame cost Christina £60.
