0:00:05 > 0:00:07Today, I'm in farming country,
0:00:07 > 0:00:10the gorgeous Builth Wells in Mid Wales.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13And I'm making my way towards the Royal Welsh Showground,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17which is normally a Mecca for all the farmers here in Mid Wales.
0:00:17 > 0:00:22But today, it's home to a huge antiques fair for our
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Red team and our Blue team to race around.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28So, come on, guys, it's time to plough on,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30and let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01As usual, our teams have 60 minutes to work their way around the fair.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05They've got ?300 each and they have to buy three items that,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08fingers crossed, will bring them a profit at auction.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10So, let's see what's in store.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Coming up on today's show...
0:01:14 > 0:01:16..Thomas is causing chaos for the Reds.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19I am sorry. I didn't touch you.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23And the Blues know their own minds.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25You like that kind of ceramic? Not really.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I don't particularly like it. If you want it, you have it.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30And the next buy is mine.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31THEY LAUGH
0:01:31 > 0:01:35And by the auction, the Reds are feeling the tension.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37If I were any more nervous, you'd need a bucket and mop.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And the Blues are thoroughly enjoying themselves.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Hurray! Well done.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But all of that is for later. Now is the time to meet our teams.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53For the Reds today, we have married couple Nicola and Rob.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And for the Blue team, we have friends Jill and Jane.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Welcome, everybody, hello. ALL: Hello!
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Thank you for joining us.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01I'm going to start with the Red team.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, Nicola, I love this, you work in a bank. I do.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06So you're in charge of the money. Yes, I am.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08And are you good with it, that's what I want to know?
0:02:08 > 0:02:11I'd like to think I am good with it. OK, Rob, is that true?
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Well, she'd be breaking a habit of a lifetime if she was.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Well, you're going to have to prove him wrong today, aren't you?
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Yes, I am, I hope to balance the books later today.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22All about the one-liners, I love it.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24While Nicola's off working in the bank,
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I believe you have the best job in the world. You are your own boss.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I am my own boss. Well, I like to think I am.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33And you're a sign writer, so I get the impression that you must know
0:02:33 > 0:02:36everybody, because you do all the local businesses, don't you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38I do, most of the local businesses anyway.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43We do shop signs and factory signs and a lot of van liveries and stuff.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45So I have to design people's images for them.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48Now, tell me about your musical passion as well, Rob.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Well, since I was about 11, I started to play guitar.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54And at about 19, I was in my first band,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56playing mostly cover versions throughout the Valleys.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Lately we're in a band, none of us could decide on
0:02:59 > 0:03:02a name for the band, so we are now called The Band With No Name.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03The Band With No Name.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06That works, that sounds like a name you came up with.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Yes, it does, yeah. And what about Nicola?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Do you get right to the front, do you wave him on?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I do a little bit of moshing down the front after a few drinks, yes.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'd like to see that, that sounds excellent.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Now, you've been married for 14 years,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21so obviously you make a great husband and wife.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23But what about a great Bargain Hunt team?
0:03:23 > 0:03:25How do you think that's going to go?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27We've got a bit of a tactic going between us that if I keep the
0:03:27 > 0:03:31money away from Nicola for long enough, it will be a good hour.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34OK, that sounds like an excellent tactic as far as you're concerned.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38I'm not sure about Nicola. And you're here to win.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Oh, yes, definitely. But we're going to have a good day as well.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43We can have some fun. We're just going to go for it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Going to go for it, that is the right attitude.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48And let's see if the Blues share a similar attitude,
0:03:48 > 0:03:51I'm sure they will. Let's move on to Jane and Jill.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So nice to have you here. Now, Jane, we're going to start with you.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57How do you and Jill know one another? Tell us your story.
0:03:57 > 0:04:02We work together in a local charity called Merthyr and the Valleys Mind.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06We've known each other about two years, and we get on very well.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10We're good pals in work. Oh, that's fantastic. And you love your job.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Of course, yes. We have a good time there.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14And, Jill, what's your role at the charity?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18At the moment I work on a project called active monitoring,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21so I actually work out of a doctor's surgery,
0:04:21 > 0:04:26and the doctor refers people to me with mild to moderate anxiety.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29And I see them for six to eight sessions.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32And hopefully help them improve their wellbeing.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34I'm sure you very much do.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Now, I heard a little rumour about Jane that she is quite
0:04:37 > 0:04:40accident prone. I want to hear about all these accidents.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Well, she sat on an antique table and broke it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46That's not a good sign for today. No, it's not a good start, no.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50She fused all the electrics in work. She tips things.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52I'm going to really have to be careful with her today
0:04:52 > 0:04:54and keep her away from anything that's breakable, because...
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I've already asked Jill, "Please don't let me pick anything up."
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Jill can do any of the picking up. The ?300 is going to end up
0:05:01 > 0:05:04being a refund, I think. You break, you buy.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06THEY LAUGH And what about tactics?
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Obviously, you're great mates,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10but do you think you'll make a great team on Bargain Hunt?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, this is the spender, and I think I'll have to rein her in
0:05:13 > 0:05:15a little bit, just so she doesn't go over the top.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18You'll be the calming influence. A calming influence, yes, hopefully.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Because I love to spend.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23I think we're going to go middle of the road. Middle of the road.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27OK, so mid-price. But that might change completely.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Believe me, it well. The best laid schemes and all that.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Now, money is important because you need some to go shopping.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36So I'm going to give the Reds ?300, and just to be fair,
0:05:36 > 0:05:38the Blues get ?300, too.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42You each have an expert waiting for you, so off you go and find them.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Well, by the sounds of things, I'd best get the accident book out.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49So, let's meet today's experts.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54He has a head for antiques, it is Thomas Plant for the Reds.
0:05:55 > 0:05:56And 'ello, 'ello, 'ello.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Who do we have here for the Blues?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59It's Kate Bliss.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02So, ladies, are you excited?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Yes. Yes, very excited.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05What are you going to be looking for, Jane?
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Something dog related for me, please.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09A little bit shiny. Shiny! A little bit retro.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Something ceramic. Something sort of Art Deco-ish.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15And a little bit stylish. Like yourself, Thomas.
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Like the three of us here today.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Right, teams.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21ENGINE ENGAGES Your time starts now.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22SHE HONKS HORN
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Shall we go and spend some money? Yes. Come on, then. Come on.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26Let's go.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Let's just see how much of their ?300 our teams spend today.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Blues, these look colourful.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I love the little Welsh blankets. Aren't they nice?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38They're very fashionable at the moment, aren't they?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Yes. I like the blue ones.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42That one caught my eye. ?75.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yes, it's a bit more folky, isn't it?
0:06:44 > 0:06:48At auction, unfortunately, you're probably not going to get ?70-?90.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Oh, no.
0:06:50 > 0:06:51Best move on then.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54How are the Reds measuring up?
0:06:54 > 0:06:58It's like a gypsy caravan, isn't it? Yes. It is. But it's modelled.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00But it is a tape measure.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Is it? Oh, wow. There it is. Isn't that fun? Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It's not got that much age because it's metric.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08It is metric, you're quite right.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11It's a nice thing though. It's not a gypsy caravan.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Oh, it's a bathing belle. Yeah, it's a bathing carriage.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16It's ?130.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I think on your first foray into this, it's quite expensive. Yes.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22So, the Reds are parking the caravan.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Our teams appear to have expensive taste today.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Blues, what do you think about this sampler?
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Yes, colour's good. Yes. It is, isn't it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Particularly with those lovely red flowers in the border. Yeah.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35The ones that make the most money are signed and dated.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Yeah. Or we know the age of the person who's done it.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40I can see we've got a name there, Ann Mills, at the bottom.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Yeah. But no date.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45No. I would say it's about 1830, 1840. About William IV.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Plenty of age then. Yeah, yeah.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51It's ?150 though, ladies.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Again, too pricey.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56So, no items sewn up for our teams just yet.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Check out those boots. Those boots!
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Do you think they're your size, Jane? Whoa! Wow!
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Imagine me walking in those.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04That'd be an accident waiting to happen.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07It certainly is with your accident-prone reputation, Jane.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Now, what has our musician, Rob, spotted?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14What do you think about the double bass or cello?
0:08:14 > 0:08:17What do you like about it? It's different, isn't it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:18Why did you spot it, Rob?
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Being a musician, I tend to generate towards these things, yes.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23So, what you've got is...
0:08:23 > 0:08:27It looks like a white metal, so it could possibly be silver.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29It's got one of these rotating clasps
0:08:29 > 0:08:31which sort of helps you date it. Yes.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33It's not going to be an old thing.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's got a bit of weight. It's quite a solid piece.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I can't see a hallmark on it.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But I do like it. It's got a bit of look.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42What kind of date would you put on there?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45I'd say it's sort of in the last 10, 20 years.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Do you want to see what the best price is?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Yes, please. Yes, yes.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50So, you've got ?40 on your silver stringed instrument.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Yes. What could be?
0:08:52 > 0:08:5435.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56A bit less, ?30?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58For this, I could meet you at 33.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01What do you think, guys?
0:09:01 > 0:09:0232? 32.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04What you want to do, Rob? You tell me.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07We'll go for that. Yes. You want to go for it. Yes.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Yes, please. First item. Thank you very much. You're welcome.
0:09:09 > 0:09:14Music to my ears, the first item for the Reds in just 12 minutes.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Jane, dog-related items were on your shopping list.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Feel the weight on that!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Oh, yeah. That is heavy, isn't it?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25It's not very old though. No. They're lovely.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26They're pointers, aren't they? Yeah. Yes.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28Look at them, they've scented something. Yes.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30They're quite nicely cast.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Silver plate rather than silver.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35We haven't got any hallmarks and if you look at the base,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37you can see there's a silver coating on it.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38So, it's not silver.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41So, weight doesn't mean anything really, then. Exactly, no.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44What can you do for us on these lovely dogs?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46You can have them for 30. How's that?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Perhaps it's something to come back to a bit later.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah, well, we can certainly bear it in mind, can't we?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Jane, I thought you liked to spend lots of money.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55You've not spent a thing.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Maybe this will set things on fire.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00When you said you like ceramics, Jane... Yes.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Do you like that kind of ceramics?
0:10:02 > 0:10:03Well, not really.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07A little bit too scary. What is the price on it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09It's quite a lot. 95.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yeah, I don't think I'd have him in my house. No. No.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's a no then.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Reds, are you trotting along nicely?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18They're quite nice. They are fun, actually, aren't they?
0:10:18 > 0:10:19They're quite rusty though.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Would you have them on your gates? I'd have to...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Make some gates. We'd have to have a gate first.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Yeah, you'd have to have a gate first. Yeah, first, to put them on.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Maybe you'll find some gates here at Builth.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31There's so much choice.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32So much choice in fact,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34the Blues have had even found more Welsh blankets.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37These are beautiful. They are lovely, aren't they?
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Lovely. Yeah. Cosy.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Yes, they're very warm. Yes. On a cold day like this.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Can we buy one so as I can take it with me?
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Feeling cold, Jill?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You need to run around this huge fair.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51That will warm you up.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Ah, Reds. You wanted to buy something shiny.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Little silver milk churn. That's ever so sweet, isn't it?
0:10:57 > 0:10:59Oh, and it's Chester silver.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03And it's Saunders and Shepherd, are the makers for it.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07And they were silversmiths in London and Chester,
0:11:07 > 0:11:10and they did all these lovely novelty items.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12And it's a screw off lid.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15You put your pepper in there. Do you like that, Rob?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Yeah. I do like that.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20It's a bit more at unusual, isn't it? It is. It's lovely.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22How much is it? SELLER: 60 quid.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24?60. Is that your very, very best?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Very best, 50.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29If we could have a slight four in front of that number...?
0:11:29 > 0:11:3148. 48?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Yeah. Can we deal at 48? Are you happy with that? Yes, we are.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36Thank you very much.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Well done, Reds. Second item bought in 18 minutes.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42You must be pleased with how it's going, Thomas.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46We've got two items in the bag. Admittedly, they're really small.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49I think we've fulfilled their shiny requirement.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53Hopefully, we'll get something big as their third and final item.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55And maybe something retro, Thomas?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57That was also on the shopping list.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58What on earth is that?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Now, the Blues are yet to open their purse,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02and Jill must still be feeling chilly,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04as, surprise, surprise,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06yet more Welsh blankets!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Now, ladies, we've looked at a lot of Welsh blankets already.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Yeah. Yeah. But I've just spotted these two.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13This one is quite a nice, soft one, isn't it?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15It's quite a good size, as well. It is, yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18But this one has got the Real Welsh label on,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20which is quite nice, all pure wool.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23I've just spoken to the stallholder, he'll do the two for 35.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24SHE GASPS
0:12:24 > 0:12:26My God. Really?
0:12:26 > 0:12:30But, but, there is a bit of a repair to it, as you can see.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Somebody's hand-stitched along the edge there, just to consolidate it,
0:12:34 > 0:12:38and repair it. So it has had a little bit of wear.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Some would say, "I don't mind that,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42"it makes it look a little bit folksy." Yeah.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44It shows it's got a little bit of age.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So, what do we think?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49I quite like it. Yeah, absolutely. 35. Definitely.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Yeah, I think we should go for it. Yeah, perfect. Fantastic!
0:12:52 > 0:12:56Our first item, and only 20 minutes gone. Brilliant! Brilliant!
0:12:56 > 0:12:57How quick are you?
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Not as quick as the Reds, Kate.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02They have two items already, but finally,
0:13:02 > 0:13:04you've made your first purchase.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Now, as we're in the heart of the farming community here in Wales,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12I'm meeting Peter Cox from the nearby Rhayader Museum,
0:13:12 > 0:13:16who has brought along some early 20th-century agricultural objects
0:13:16 > 0:13:17to show me.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Peter, thank you for bringing these items with you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Keen to know more, I think we should start with this one here.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Is it OK if I grab it? Sure, yes. Absolutely.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28So, what do you think that is? I don't know.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30It seems like a small gardening tool?
0:13:30 > 0:13:34What you're really talking about is something which would be used
0:13:34 > 0:13:36to break up molehills. Oh.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39So it would be smashed into the molehill, and raked out.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41This would have been made on the farm,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43here in the Cambrian Mountains.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Is it a kind of make do and mend piece?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, hill farmers are a long way from any shops.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50And, if you need a tool to do a job, you often make it,
0:13:50 > 0:13:51historically, certainly.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55So, this will have been ground down from different bits of metal
0:13:55 > 0:13:58around the farmyard. It's got a bit of heft in it, a bit of weight.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00So it's quite good for really getting the job done.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Quite substantial.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So, does it have a substantial value?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06The story is what's valuable with it.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09But, if you're looking on a good day, ?20-?25.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I'd never have guessed it was a molehill rake,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13so that's that mystery solved.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15We'll put it down. And then,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18something that I also can't quite figure out.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20What do you think it is? Do you know, I don't know.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21It's called The Aero... Yeah.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25..so it's got to have something to do with dispersing things...?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Yeah. I think you should, perhaps, put it on.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Oh, show me how. Over your left shoulder.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31OK. Thank you so much.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34And then you've got this rod going across,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36and if you draw your hand left and right...
0:14:36 > 0:14:38That's it. OK. Oh, look at that. Look at that.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Oh, the wheel of fortune turning, there.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44So, if you imagine this bag is full of grass seed,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and it's for broadcasting seed.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Which is for spreading seed when you're reseeding a field.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52OK, so seed goes through the bag... Yeah.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54..into the blades... Into the spinner.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57..and then, off they get thrown! That's right. How far can they go?
0:14:57 > 0:15:00They can go up to about four metres. No. It's called a seed fiddle.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's a seed... Of course it is, it's a seed fiddle!
0:15:02 > 0:15:05So, if you imagine racing up and down a field,
0:15:05 > 0:15:06you'd be doing it very fast.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08It does look like you're playing a fiddle from a distance.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11You'd look a bit bonkers, from a distance. Yeah.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13It's absolutely brilliant. So tell me when this was produced.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16This particular artefact was around about 1940.
0:15:16 > 0:15:181940, right, OK. Yeah.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20On the farm, people were really needing things
0:15:20 > 0:15:22that are not going to cost a lot of money... Of course.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24..that are not going to involve great resources of fuel,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27or anything like that. So this is a really practical thing.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30Now, this was only worth about 25 on a good day.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34I'm guessing that this is a slightly different echelon.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Yeah. 120, 125, perhaps. Really?
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Yeah. Some of our viewers might even remember people using them.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Some parents and grandparents from farming communities will recognise
0:15:42 > 0:15:45it, and possibly have one tucked away in the barn somewhere, as well.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Thank you very much for telling me about these wonderful items, Peter.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Pleasure. Well, it's back to the shopping, now.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Let's see if our Reds and Blues are sowing the seeds
0:15:53 > 0:15:55of some healthy profits.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59We're approaching the halfway point, and it's 2-1 to the Reds.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02So, Blues, are you a fan of tribal art?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05I like things like that. It's so unusual.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08It's not something you're going to pick up in the supermarket.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11Well, that's true. Not in the supermarkets I go to, anyway. No.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12I think before we go any further,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14we'd better find out how much it is. Yeah.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16Do you want to go and have a word, Jane?
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Ask the stallholder, see what he thinks.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Maybe he can tell you a bit more about it. OK, just a moment.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24Off you go, Jane. Reds, what's the plan for your third item?
0:16:24 > 0:16:28I think I have fulfilled your requirement for shiny.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Yes. You have, yes. Definitely. Is that done? That's done.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Is that washed out of your system? Yeah. Got rid of that, yes.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Yeah. Right, OK.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40Next thing was sort of something retro and stylish. Yes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Could be some glass, could be a piece of furniture. Yeah. Yeah.
0:16:43 > 0:16:44Let's see what turns up, then.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Jane, what did you find out about the tribal mask?
0:16:49 > 0:16:50You're looking happy.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53He said it was 65, but he'll sell it to us for 55.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56OK. And it's natural, it's not made for the tourist trade.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Mm. That's what struck me. I quite like that, yes. Do you, now?
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Do you like it? No, I don't like it at all. I quite like it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04But if you want it, you have it.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06And the next buy is mine.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07THEY LAUGH
0:17:07 > 0:17:09You think there's any profit in it?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Well, I have to say, it's all about patina.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13And it has got a nice feel about it.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15If you look here,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18can you see where it's just a little bit shiny on the top, here?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20And that's just from where it's been handled.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24Turn it over, and we can see how it's been carved out of one piece,
0:17:24 > 0:17:26here in the centre.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31At auction, I would probably put a, sort of, ?50-?80 estimate on it.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Ooh. Shall I ask him to go five pound more off?
0:17:34 > 0:17:35Might as well try.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37And see if it'll can go down a little bit more.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Go on, then, Jane. Go back to him.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41See if you can work your magic, Jane.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Is she good at haggling? She is pretty good, yes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Is she? She usually her own way, as well. Does she? Yeah.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Hmm. Let's find out.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51What news? ?50. SHE GASPS
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Jane, you've done it. Shall we do it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Well done! Shall we have it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56Yeah, OK, we'll go for it. Are you sure? You're going with the flow?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Yes, I'll go with the flow.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59I think we ought to go before she changes her mind. Yes.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01?50, you've got two things, well done ladies!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03And that makes it two-all.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Are you pleased?
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'm really happy with what we've got so far.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11A bit of Welsh, a bit of African. What's next?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13What country shall we go to next?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16I think we should stick with the Welsh, I've got to be honest.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Stick with Welsh? Yeah. If we can, yeah.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And, Kate, what's your verdict?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22They've done brilliantly on the blankets -
0:18:22 > 0:18:23I think that's a nice buy.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25They both love those.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28But now Jane is streaking ahead on the choices.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I've just got a feeling that Jill might get her own back.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Well, Kate, Jill did say that the third item
0:18:34 > 0:18:36was going to be her choice.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Now, Reds, this games table looks earlier than retro,
0:18:39 > 0:18:41but it does look fun.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You've got backgammon, chess.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Wow. That's beautiful.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49I would've that is going to be Anglo-Indian, Indo-Portuguese,
0:18:49 > 0:18:531920s to 1950s - any of that date.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56And that folds over, and then it's a table on the top.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Right. I like that a lot. Really? Yes, I do.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01Does this sort of thing sell? No.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03But that's beside the point - you like it.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06BOTH LAUGH How much is it?
0:19:06 > 0:19:07We've got 400 on it. 400.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09We haven't got ?400.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12What have we spent? ?80. 80. ?80.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14We've got 220. I need, probably, a fiver or something.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16200. 200?
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Is that the absolute best you could do, to give us a fighting chance?
0:19:19 > 0:19:20He started at ?400!
0:19:20 > 0:19:23I'll tell you what, 190, and that's it. 190. That is it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:28I like your...your...gumption!
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Your cheekiness.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Can we think about it? Would you mind holding it for us?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34No, not at all. Thank you. We've got it...
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Wow, that was a considerable reduction, Reds.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Maybe one to think about. Could be a game changer.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Now, Jill, your time to choose. What have you found?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46It's a cow. It's a butter dish.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48It's a butter dish! That's unusual. Yeah.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Where's Kate? Kate!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53What have you got, ladies? What do you think of this?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56It's a little butter dish. Yeah. It's really fun.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00It's moulded glass. Not cut glass, importantly.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02A moulded, star-cut base.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It's '30s in style, I would say, but it might be a little bit later -
0:20:06 > 0:20:07it might be '50s.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10And then the lid, which is silver-plated,
0:20:10 > 0:20:12fits on the top there quite nicely.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I like the way the handles come up to hold the lid on.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Yeah. With your rather nice cow handle on there.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20How much is the butter dish, please?
0:20:20 > 0:20:22I've got 15 on that. OK.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Would you take a little bit less?
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I'll take ten. All right, thank you.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Let's leave it there for the moment. Yeah. Have a quick squinny around...
0:20:30 > 0:20:31And we can always come back to it. Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Another one to add to the list, Blues.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Reds, are you sticking to your list?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39There's quite a cool stall over there, like a retro stall.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Shall we have a look over there? Yes. OK, yeah.
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Hm, it looks like they are. Get stuck in.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45OBJECTS CLATTER
0:20:45 > 0:20:46I wasn't near it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49I didn't mean literally, Thomas. Oh, dear.
0:20:49 > 0:20:50Derek...is...
0:20:50 > 0:20:53I am sorry. I didn't touch you. NICOLE LAUGHS
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Poor Derek. Move away, Thomas. You best join the rest.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59The trunk is good, isn't it? Yes.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02It's got the dome top - not as popular, sometimes.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04But...that's lovely, isn't it?
0:21:04 > 0:21:07A good original lining, love this decoration round there.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10It looks quite sort of Eastern European. Yeah.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12There's a little bit of a split in the bottom.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Shall we just close it? Do you want to just pull that hinge forward.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17It's got the original hinge, which is good.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20I quite like... What's on the front here? What's on the front?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Oh, look, a metal base. That's good, isn't it? Yes.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25It's a sign of quality, that.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27See, that would stop the water from coming up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29So a proper travel trunk.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31What would you say the wood is made of,
0:21:31 > 0:21:32this part is made of?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34So, I think this is going to be some form of leather,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36you know, animal hide.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40This wood here is going to be quite a laminate type of wood,
0:21:40 > 0:21:41like an ash, which bends.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44What's the price, Nicola? It's 195.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48I think it is much more saleable than the table we've seen.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Decisions, decisions.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54Now, the Blues have ventured outside.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56So, is this on the right frequency?
0:21:56 > 0:21:59You get Radio 1 on now. THEY LAUGH
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You'd have to rewire it, probably.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04A lot of people are using the lovely Art Deco shape,
0:22:04 > 0:22:08the retro look of them, and putting modern radios inside.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12It's a lovely shape, it's got a lovely retro feel to it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:1455 is the price.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16What's your very best on that?
0:22:16 > 0:22:1940 is the best we can do. 40 is the best. Yeah.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well, Jill, it's your buy - what do you think?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23I do like the butter dish.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24But it was only ?10,
0:22:24 > 0:22:26and I would prefer to spend just a little bit more.
0:22:26 > 0:22:30What's this? The Blues want to spend some MORE money?
0:22:30 > 0:22:31But it's your choice, Jill.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Looks like the Reds have decided to negotiate for the trunk,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38priced at ?195.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41And they have some tactics up their sleeves, too.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43We'll send you in first. Yeah... Then we'll come in.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I'm like the cannon fodder, aren't I? We'll cover you.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And this time watch your step, Thomas.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50What's the best?
0:22:50 > 0:22:53Well, you know, I can't be the buyer as well as the seller.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55No. You've got to make me an offer. OK.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Could I offer you ?100 for it? Hell no.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Why not?!
0:23:00 > 0:23:02It's an offer! You asked me.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06I could go to 145.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08What about 115?
0:23:10 > 0:23:14120. 120. Can we do 119, please?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16We couldn't. It's got to be 120.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Rob, I applaud you for trying, but 120, it's a deal.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25Well, it worked. Job done.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Now, Blues, with 10 minutes left, what's it going to be,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30a butter dish or the radio?
0:23:30 > 0:23:33What do you think, Jane? I don't particularly like it,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I've got to be honest. OK. But it's Jill's choice on this one,
0:23:36 > 0:23:37I had the choice on the previous one.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40You liked the butter dish, didn't you? I quite liked the butter dish.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Shall be go back and get it? Shall we get it?
0:23:42 > 0:23:46We can go for a cup of tea, then. OK, we're going for the butter dish.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48Final answer? Final answer.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50We'd better run. If it's still there. We'd better run.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Are you sure about that, Jill?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57It's this one, yeah. You sure it wasn't that one? No, this one.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58You need to find it first.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Is it still there? Yes, it's still there.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Yes, oh, thank goodness for that. Yes, it's still here.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09OK for ?10 for this one, yeah? Wonderful. Well done. We've done it.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Well done, Blues. All done with minutes left.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13HORN BLARES
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Right, teams, your time is up
0:24:16 > 0:24:19and let's find out what the Red team brought.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22First up, Nicola and Rob are hoping this silver cello brooch
0:24:22 > 0:24:26will hit the right note at auction bought for ?32.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Next, the Reds wanted something shiny
0:24:28 > 0:24:32and they bought this shiny pepper pot for ?48.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37And finally will this wooden trunk turn into a treasure chest?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39?120 paid.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Did you enjoy it? We did, we loved it. Yes.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I bet you enjoyed it cos Thomas did all the hard work.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48He did, yes. Thank you, Thomas. No, no, they did a lot of the hard work.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50You spotted items. You were really, really good.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52But then we sent the Rottweiler in to do the deed.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54Well, I think you had the right idea,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57cos you got some good discounts, so well done.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Now, Nicola, tell me, which of the three is your favourite item?
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I love the little pepper pot that you spotted.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06You think that's going to bring the biggest profit at auction?
0:25:06 > 0:25:06I do, yes, definitely.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09OK, so you're putting your money in the pepper pot? Yes.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Rob, are you on the same page? No, I like the brooch.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13You think it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17No, actually I agree with Nicola on this one, the pepper pot. Fantastic.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, ?200 is what you spent... Yes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21..which leaves one third of the money.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24If I could take ?100 from you, Nicola, that would be great.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Here you are. Thank you. And do you know where it's going?
0:25:26 > 0:25:29Thomas has plans... The Rottweiler, as you called him.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31Now, where are you going to go with that?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Are you going to bark up someone's tree?
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I've got to go and bark around the stallholders.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37No, no, no, I'm not going to do that.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I'm going to find something with a bit of style for you.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Oh! That's what we need. Finish the day. Thank you.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47So while Thomas hunts for a stylish item for the Reds,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50let's remind ourselves what those Blues brought.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53First up, Jane and Jill hope they've got it wrapped up
0:25:53 > 0:25:55with these Welsh blankets bought for ?35.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Next up, Jane liked this mask, Jill didn't, but they bought it for ?50.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05And finally, will they have a spread of the profits
0:26:05 > 0:26:06with this butter dish?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07Bought for ?10.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Well, well done, ladies.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You took a very measured approach to your shop,
0:26:12 > 0:26:14quite staggered with your buying, and talking of staggering,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16you didn't fall over, Jane, and break anything. I know.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20It's got to be a first, but there's the auction. Well, well done.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22So of the three items that you bought,
0:26:22 > 0:26:23which was your favourite item?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It was the butter dish.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27The butter dish with the wee cow handle? That's it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Not expensive, though, was it? No, it was only ?10.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31I wanted to spend more.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Which do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37The pair of Welsh blankets. The Welsh blankets.
0:26:37 > 0:26:38Now, Jane, well done for buying tribal art.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yes, I know. Is that something you would have wanted
0:26:40 > 0:26:42for your collection anyway?
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I don't think I'd have bought it for myself, but when I saw it,
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I did like it. Had to have it. So is that your favourite of the three?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It is. It is. Now, what do you think is going to bring the biggest
0:26:50 > 0:26:53profit? I think it's going to be the Welsh blankets. The Welsh blankets.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55So you're on the same page there.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57You didn't spend a huge amount of money.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01No. 95 in total. So who's holding on to ?205? I've got the money.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I'll take it from you and it gives me great pleasure to hand it
0:27:04 > 0:27:08over to Kate Bliss. ?205, that's quite a lot. Quite a wad, isn't it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10What are you thinking? I don't know.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11They weren't the best at spending,
0:27:11 > 0:27:15so I'm just going to do it go and do my hardest now to have a splurge.
0:27:15 > 0:27:16Fantastic.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Well, Kate's off to splurge on a lovely Blue bonus buy
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and we're off to the auction.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Let's find out how it all goes.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Well, here I am in Cardiff with Ben Rogers Jones
0:27:33 > 0:27:35of Rogers Jones auction house.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Hello, Ben. Hello. Hello.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm excited to show you these items,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41small may they be on the Red team.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45We're going to start off with this lovely wee silver brooch
0:27:45 > 0:27:46or can we call it silver, Ben?
0:27:46 > 0:27:51I think it is silver, but unfortunately the hallmarks
0:27:51 > 0:27:55have worn, which will factor in on the price, I'm afraid. Mmm.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56What do you reckon it's worth?
0:27:56 > 0:28:01I think we could fiddle in a value of ?10 to ?15. Oh, is that all?
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Do you know they actually paid ?32?
0:28:03 > 0:28:06HE INHALES A wee bit steep? I think it is.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Hopefully the buyers will come out in their droves for this brooch.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12Now, both Nicola and Rob rate this pepperette.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14I'm interested to know what you think, Ben.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I like novelty silver and it's very, very popular.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21Unfortunately, it's quite small and there are some serious dents
0:28:21 > 0:28:23on the body.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25There is one right there. Just above the handle, that's right.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29So I think that will have an impact on the auction price.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Right, OK. So what have you gone for?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I have got ?15 to ?25 on that one.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38OK. Well, they paid ?48 for it. But it is their favourite.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Anyway, let's move on. They went large for their third item.
0:28:41 > 0:28:45Yeah, there are lots of trunks on the market of all shapes and sizes.
0:28:45 > 0:28:50The problem with dome-top trunks is that you can't stack things on top.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Mm. And also it's got two handles missing. Yeah, they're gone.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58So, estimate? ?30 to ?45.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02That's a little bit sore because the Reds wanted to spend big
0:29:02 > 0:29:04and they spent ?120.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07So on that note they might just need their bonus buy
0:29:07 > 0:29:09so let's find out what Thomas bought.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Well this is exciting, Nicola and Rob. It is. All round numbers.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19200 spent. 100 left. Yes. Yes. Thomas, I'm terrified.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21To give you ?100 is...
0:29:21 > 0:29:22LAUGHTER
0:29:22 > 0:29:26Oh, my goodness, it's like giving him an inch and he takes a mile.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Yes. But how far did you go?
0:29:27 > 0:29:32Well, I kept it round. I said I'd get something stylish for you.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35You did. British quality. Have a look. What are they?
0:29:35 > 0:29:38They're napkin rings!
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Bilston Enamel napkin rings.
0:29:41 > 0:29:46Bilston enamel is enamelling on metal which started in
0:29:46 > 0:29:50the 18th century. These are 1930s ones. These are Art Deco.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53And the colour, that sage green, is so now. It is a lovely colour.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Clearly, Thomas's taste. Are they yours, Nicola?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59I don't know whether I would have these on my dining table
0:29:59 > 0:30:00cos here is only two.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03So you could only have two people around for dinner.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08Just the two of you, you know? Well, yes, yeah, we could do that. Yes.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10And obviously the important question.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12BOTH: How much did you spend?
0:30:12 > 0:30:17Well, ?20. ?20. Oh, I'm pleased with that. I'm pleased with that.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Yes, that's very nice. That's very good. You've done well.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Thomas has sold them to the team. He's certainly sold them to me.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26But will the auctioneer the jumping through hoops when
0:30:26 > 0:30:27he sees these napkin rings?
0:30:28 > 0:30:35Well here they are, Ben, these enamelled copper napkin rings.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Hm. That's not an enthusiastic face, Ben.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It's a bit of a strange choice really.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43I'm not quite sure whether people
0:30:43 > 0:30:46are using napkin rings at the moment.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Plain green and gold coloured. You're not thinking less is more?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I'm thinking, not very attractive in their colour,
0:30:53 > 0:30:54is what I am thinking.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I don't rate them very highly I'm afraid, Natasha.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01OK, well, does your estimate reflect their plain nature?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05I think it does, yes. ?10 to ?15 on them.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Well, Thomas only paid ?20, so fingers crossed we get
0:31:09 > 0:31:12a little bit of competition going for the Reds.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16But it's time to move on to our Blues, Jane and Jill.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21Starting with not a mixed blanket but a pure wool set of two blankets.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Tell us about these.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26They're very, very popular down here in Wales for spreading
0:31:26 > 0:31:29on suites in cottages and for decorating the houses.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33We sell lots of them. They're usually about ?30, ?40 each.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Although good colours can make more than that.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40For the two we've put ?50 to ?70 on them. The ladies only paid ?35.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42I think they'll sail that.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Yeah, and I'm really pleased to hear your estimate because they
0:31:44 > 0:31:46both think these will make the most profit.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49But are you going to be as kind about their tribal mask?
0:31:49 > 0:31:54The important thing with tribal art is age.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Were the pieces crafted prior to the tourist industry?
0:31:58 > 0:32:02Unfortunately this hasn't got much age and that will determine
0:32:02 > 0:32:05its fairly modest value I think.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07We've put ?20 to ?30 on the tribal mask.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Well, I think Jane might be quite disappointed because she
0:32:10 > 0:32:13convinced Jill that they had to have it at ?50.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16So unless you can convince the buyers to exceed that amount
0:32:16 > 0:32:20they are going to have to depend on this butter dish,
0:32:20 > 0:32:22with this weird little cow handle.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26The problem again is that it doesn't do enough decoratively.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28It's not something you would display.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31And then the other factor against it is that people aren't
0:32:31 > 0:32:35generally using butter as much. You could fill it with anything.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Who's to say it has to be butter? You could I suppose, granted.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40I'm trying to find positives here. You are an optimist. I like that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Am I going to find optimism in your estimate?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45?5 to ?10. That's a no.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49But let me tell you optimistically that the team only paid ?10.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53I think we should moo-ve on! Oh, very good! Well, just in case these
0:32:53 > 0:32:55blankets don't do as well as we hope they will,
0:32:55 > 0:32:56let's move on, as Ben says,
0:32:56 > 0:32:58to the Blues' bonus buy.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02Well, here we are, all the ladies in blue.
0:33:02 > 0:33:07Well, you left Kate a big amount of money to spend. ?205.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10We hope you spent a lot because we didn't. I know you didn't.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13I wanted to spend a lot and I didn't.
0:33:13 > 0:33:18I was on a mission... Oh, good. ..for the one thing we didn't find.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20A dog. Yay!
0:33:20 > 0:33:22LAUGHTER
0:33:22 > 0:33:25He's so cute. I thought he would be a sparkly silver one.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27No, couldn't find a sparkly silver one.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31So there he is. He's a cute little Jack Russell I reckon.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34He's cute. He's in perfect condition.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38He does have a little mark on his tummy there. Beswick? Beswick.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Exactly. Or some people say "Bes-wick".
0:33:40 > 0:33:45Of course made by that Staffordshire factory founded actually way
0:33:45 > 0:33:50back in the 19th century by Joseph Wright Beswick. How old would he be?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54He's 1960s. Good condition for that age then. And it's a boy dog!
0:33:54 > 0:33:56LAUGHTER
0:33:56 > 0:34:00You checked him out. Oh, Jane.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Tell us. You're obviously dog lovers.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05Yes. Yes. Would you own this wee chappie? Oh, definitely.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Yeah, he's cute. How much did you pay for him?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10So, I tried really hard to spend lots. Yeah.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12I actually spent a tenner.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Never! I did. ?10. I think it's worth more than that.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Wow! Yeah.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Let's find out if the auctioneer reckons Kate is barking up
0:34:20 > 0:34:22the right tree with this Beswick model.
0:34:23 > 0:34:28So here it comes. It's lovely. Beswick, which is very collectable.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31There are lots and lots of collectors for Beswick animals.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It's at the entry-level for the Beswick range.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38I've put ?10 to ?15 on this little Jack Russell. Do you know what?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40That's all right. Kate only paid ten for it.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44And the ladies are so taken by dogs that I would bet my bottom dollar
0:34:44 > 0:34:47on the fact that they'll go for it no matter what's happening.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Will you be taking the auction today, Ben? I will. Great.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52I look forward to you putting these items under the hammer.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57?50. 60, 70, 80.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Are you nervous? Excited. Excited. Really excited.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04How do you feel, Rob? Terrified. You don't look terrified.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08If I were any more nervous you'd need a bucket and mop.
0:35:08 > 0:35:09Rob, a true musician,

0:39:43 > 0:39:47at ?30. ?30. ?30. It is a loss.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50That was bad luck because I thought that would have done it.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Bad luck but you already had 10 in the bank
0:39:52 > 0:39:55so you've lost 20 which means you're only minus 10.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Now it comes to the butter dish.
0:39:58 > 0:40:04You only paid a tenner so hopefully we can claw some back. ?20. 15.
0:40:04 > 0:40:10Come on. Bid me 10. 10, thank you. At 10. Any advance now. At ?10.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32Minus 5.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We're so close!
0:40:34 > 0:40:37So now I've got to ask two dog lovers a very important question.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Are you going to go for Kate's Beswick dog? Yes.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Definitely. Did you have a feeling they were going to say that, Kate?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48Maybe. Kate, amazingly only paid ?10 for this.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53You're 5 under so we need it to make ?15 or more and then you
0:40:53 > 0:40:55could come away from Bargain Hunt with a profit.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Come on. We can do this. It's too exciting. Here it comes.

0:41:24 > 0:41:27You've made ?7 profit. Yes! Great!
0:41:27 > 0:41:28You came to Bargain Hunt
0:41:28 > 0:41:31and you can go away saying you made a profit. Yes.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33But will you be the winners?
0:41:37 > 0:41:41Well, that was a brilliant auction, wasn't it? It was. It was.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Do you know how I'd describe it? I'd describe it as a rollercoaster.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Because there were ups...and there were downs.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52And today one team finished on the rollercoaster at the top...
0:41:52 > 0:41:56and one team found themselves crashing down to the bottom.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Our winners today, the Blues.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02CHEERING AND LAUGHTER
0:42:02 > 0:42:06And not a breakage in sight. How good is that?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Nicola and Rob, you were doing so well.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13You started with ?10 but in the end after all of that how did
0:42:13 > 0:42:15we come away minus ?61?
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I don't quite know. Or do I?
0:42:17 > 0:42:19It was the trunk. Was it the trunk? Yes.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22It was the trunk what done it. It was.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24But we don't mind because it was so much fun. It was.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26We thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Let's turn to our valiant team today, the Blues.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33I cannot believe that you are such serious winners with only
0:42:33 > 0:42:36a ?7 profit. LAUGHTER
