0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today's Bargain Hunt comes from Cornwall,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06a county famous for its rugged coastline,
0:00:06 > 0:00:08beautiful countryside and, well, Poldark.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11Oh, excuse me. I'm looking for the antique fair.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Can you point me in the right direction?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- Yeah, it's that way, mate. - Thank you.- All right.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Blimey, do they all look like that around here?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Well, there's only one way to find out.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Today's antiques fair is at the Royal Cornwall Showground
0:00:47 > 0:00:50near Wadebridge and, if variety is the spice of life,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53there's plenty to choose from here.
0:00:54 > 0:00:59Our teams have got £300 and one hour to scour the fair for bargains.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02But can they make a profit at auction?
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Let's see what's coming up.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- The Reds are not in agreement... - I think you're totally wrong.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Do you?- Yeah. - We've got to make a decision.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- We're running out of time. - And I'm still saying no.- OK.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19..the Blues plead for the best price.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22As love... As love as a human being...
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- You're killing me! - ..and a British citizen.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And at the auction there are ups...
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- Yes!- Well done.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33..and downs.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Oh, such a shame.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Well, all that is coming up later. So let's meet today's teams.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43For the Reds, we've got Kelly and Andy, and for the Blues,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47- we've got Darren and Sarah. Hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Kelly, tell me, when did you first meet?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Well, it was about almost five years ago.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Andy was working with some other people trying to turn some disused
0:01:55 > 0:01:57land in Plymouth into a sort of community garden.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59I saw it in the paper and thought I'd turn up and try and help,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02but it was November and raining so we didn't get much done.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06I started chatting, and then hit it off and the rest is history, really.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07So on top of the gardening, really,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11I mean, you have got a very interesting job, as well.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12I do, I'm very lucky.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14I'm a sommelier in a hotel in Falmouth,
0:02:14 > 0:02:18which means that I just go in and I sort of pour your wine,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20present your wine, make sure it's all OK, let you taste it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22So any recommendations you want, then I'm the one to come to.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26- You're the girl.- Yeah, absolutely. - What about yourself, Andy?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- You're a sound engineer.- Yes. - What does that encompass?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Well, it could be anything from a rock festival to a comedy night
0:02:32 > 0:02:33or even a ballet.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39And you two seem to lead what I might call an off-grid lifestyle.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Yes, we live in a caravan on a farm just outside of Falmouth,
0:02:43 > 0:02:47and it's lovely. We're constantly outside with our two dogs.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- It's all very...- Cosy. - Very cosy.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52So what about bargain hunting, you two?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Well, we love a bargain, absolutely. I hate parting with money.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56But this isn't my money, so I'm looking forward
0:02:56 > 0:02:59to being able to splash the cash a little bit more than normal.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01And what about tactics, then?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Spend big, spend big. Absolutely, yeah.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Well, good luck to you, Reds.
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Now over to the Blue team.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11So, Sarah, I believe you met when you were quite young?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Yes, I met Darren at our local amateur dramatics group.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I was 15, and he was 12, and he used to follow me all over the place
0:03:18 > 0:03:20and I used to find it really annoying.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24But we met again, didn't we, 20 years on?
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And, well, we've been together now for two years and we've got a little
0:03:26 > 0:03:28girl called Eleanor. Yeah.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So you're still in the theatre group?
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Yes, I'm still in the theatre group.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34And you sing and you dance, and you...
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Sing, dance, act. All of it, I do all of it.
0:03:36 > 0:03:37I also do karaoke, don't I?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40So what's your show stopper, what's the one song
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- that you like to belt out? - Big Spender. I like doing that one.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- Oh, that's rather appropriate, isn't it?- Yeah, it is.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47- Well, come on, give us a rendition. - OK.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50# The minute you walked in the joint
0:03:50 > 0:03:53# I could see you were a man of distinction
0:03:53 > 0:03:56# A real big spender
0:03:56 > 0:03:59# Good-looking, so refined
0:03:59 > 0:04:04# Say, wouldn't you like to know what's going on in my mind? #
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Well done, well done!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Oh, yes. So, Darren, it took you almost 20 years, then,
0:04:09 > 0:04:12to, you know, to get things moving?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Yeah, yeah, it took a lot of persuasion.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And, to be honest, I feel the luckiest man alive.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Awww!- So I'm not going to let her go again.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23I wouldn't doubt that for one minute.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- But you're a man in uniform, aren't you?- I am, yes, yes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29I've been in the Navy for 16 years.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31I've travelled all over the world, cooking for various people
0:04:31 > 0:04:32as a leading chef.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I hope your shipmates, they appreciate the cuisine
0:04:36 > 0:04:38that you give them on a regular basis.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41It's the only job where you get inspected three times a day.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Everyone's Gordon Ramsay on board when it comes to dinner.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- You know? It gets quite annoying. - Yeah, yeah.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Well, I'm hoping that when it comes to bargain hunting,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53there's going to be absolute teamwork from you two.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Well, we're not going to give too much away.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57But Sarah's in charge, Sarah's the boss.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- But sometimes we like to mix it up. - Yeah.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01We're not going to give away any tactics.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03No, no, OK. So, if you're going to be a big spender,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- you're going to need some money. - Thank you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So there's £300 to you, and £300 for the Reds.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- BOTH:- Thank you.- So, off you go and meet your experts.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Well, I do feel that love is in the air,
0:05:13 > 0:05:17but will it bring the sweet smell of success?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21We've lined up a couple of very talented experts for our teams.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Keeping score for the Reds, it's Caroline Hawley.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29And helping the Blues stay afloat, it's Ben Cooper.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35So, Andy, Kelly, what are you looking for today?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Some silver, definitely, something strange,
0:05:38 > 0:05:40- a little bit small and interesting. - OK.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I'd like military, World War I, World War II.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Maybe some vintage theatre lighting or something like that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49I'm not sure yet. I need to see something that's pretty,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51something that catches my eye and I think, "I'd buy that."
0:05:51 > 0:05:54So a bit girlie, a bit blokey.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Teams, it's time to weigh up your options.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Your 60 minutes start now.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Let's head off and see what we can find. Come on, guys.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05- Let's go get.- Let's do it.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Both our teams are looking for something a bit different,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10off the wall and eye-catching.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12So it could be an interesting shop.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Let the battle commence.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17And it looks like the Reds have spotted something already.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I like those chairs, the folding ones.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Do you know? I do, I do. - They're beautiful.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- How much are they?- They're quite a nice shape, aren't they?
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Yeah, I think they're lovely. - What do you think, darling?
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- I like them, yes. - We've seen your wonderful chairs.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33- Yes.- What would be your best price? - £55.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- They say 15 on them, what's that? - 15 each.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- And how many are there? - There's four. So that would be 60.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- So I'm giving you a little discount. - 55 is the best, is it?
0:06:43 > 0:06:45I think so. I could possibly squeeze 50,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47but I will not go any further down.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- OK, OK.- Do we have a think about it?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51- Yeah, let's do that. Let's do that. - Right, then.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55It's early days, so no need to rush into buying them yet.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58And the Blues have tuned in to something vintage.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Have you seen that as well?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- What, you like that one over there?- Yeah.- What is "that"?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- I don't know. This? - This radio?- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- That's quite funky.- It's missing a button, though, isn't it?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09- It is missing a knob.- Art Deco?
0:07:09 > 0:07:11No, it would be a bit later than that.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13I'd have thought it's 1950s, probably.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Manufacturer - Ultra.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16What's the price on that one?
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- SELLER:- It's 45. - How much would it sell for?
0:07:18 > 0:07:22I would reckon a £40-60 estimate, something like that.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24So what is it that's drawn you to it, then, Darren?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27Well, I like the shape. I like the authenticity of it.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- It's got the '50s look... - Yeah, yeah.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32There is this whole sort of retro thing going on now.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34- Yeah, definitely. - And retro is really popular.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36OK, well, I'm not sure about that one now,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39because I've seen another one over here that I quite like.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- That one there. - What's the price on that one?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43The price on that one's 75.
0:07:43 > 0:07:4575?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That is, in a way, more iconic.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51That's very much of the now retro, this has got much more classic
0:07:51 > 0:07:541930s in design, in style.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56It's very much more iconic, in a way, than the other.
0:07:56 > 0:07:57- Do you like it?- I like it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00I like it, but I'm going to go for the majority, not the minority.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Shall we try and get it down, then? - OK.- See what he says.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05- OK.- He might be able to tweak lots or not.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Excuse me, mate? Sorry... - Yeah, no worries.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Would you take 60 for this? - I can't do that, sorry.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14The best I can do is 65, that's the very best price.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- 65?- A really collectable radio, that one.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Yeah?- Yeah.- It's a winner. - Brilliant.- It's collectable.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Cheers for that. - Thank you very much.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Nice one.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26- Thank you very much. - Yes!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- High-five, well done. High-five.- Yay!
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Great. Right! Let's head off and see what else we can find.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- Come on, guys. - That's pretty impressive.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The Blues have item one after just seven minutes.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40But hot on the trail are the Reds.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45They've found something perfect for a day at the Cornish seaside.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48I like those chairs. Wow! Look at them, look at the colours.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50- They are gorgeous. - They've got to be old, surely?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- They can't be new.- Yeah, I think they are and I think they're French.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Do you?- Yeah. Let me go and see... - That's got to be good.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- ..if I can find the owner of them. - OK.- I'll be back.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Look at the shape of that handle. - I'm going to try to see...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- It's like over-engineering. - I want to see how comfortable it is.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- Oh, please don't break the chair. - Don't break the chair.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- Please don't break the chair. - Oh, Andy, comfortable?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Yes!- Do you feel sturdy?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I feel... I wouldn't want to rock around in a vigorous manner,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- but I'm comfortable. They are...- It's lovely.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- They are beautiful, aren't they? - How much do you think they are?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24I think they're really expensive. Like 70 quid.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27They're French. You're exactly right.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- They were 35 each. - OK.- And they can be 30 each.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- 30 each? - Yeah.- What do you think?
0:09:34 > 0:09:36I really like it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39I'd have it in my garden, and I'd pay 30 quid for it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- Yeah.- But it's whether somebody else would.- I would as well.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Would you pay 45?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- No, maybe not. - Let's move on, then.- Yeah.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- No, I wouldn't. I'd pay 30. - Right, come on, then.- Yeah, onwards.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- No good.- Thank you!- I say, we're doing very well, aren't we?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58At £30 per chair, already they're not sure that bidders
0:09:58 > 0:10:00at the auction would pay any more for them.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Something to think about.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04So they're going to continue searching.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Meanwhile, are the Blues snap happy?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Tell us a bit about this one. - I can tell you about it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11It's non-functional because the cover has gone
0:10:11 > 0:10:14on the bellows, so you'll never get it to work again.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- It's purely a decorative item. - How much is it?- I've got 21 on it.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22How hard do you want to haggle?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Shall we come back to that one? - OK. All right, OK.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- We'll have a think about it.- You're getting a death stare going across.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- The thousand-yard stare. - It's my turn.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Darren isn't going to take on the death stare,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34so that's a no to the camera.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38But it seems the Reds are up for some horseplay.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- The saddle...- Yeah, would it just be decorative or would someone use it?
0:10:41 > 0:10:42Well, you could use it.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46It needs a girth putting on, and maybe just a bit of a polish up.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48But it looks in great condition.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53And do you know, to buy one new, you'd pay an awful lot of money.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Mmm.- Several hundred pounds.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- That is true.- So, really, you know, it's not expensive.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- It's different.- It certainly is.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03How much is on your saddle?
0:11:05 > 0:11:07- £25.- £25?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I like it.- I like that.- I like it, too.- Do you like that, too?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- That's a hat-trick. - That is a hat-trick.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17- What is your best price? - £20.- £20?
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- Would you do 18? - OK, go on.- Really?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I think that's a deal. I like that.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- I think that's great. - Wonderful.- Thank you very much.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Well done. Excellent. - Fantastic.- Brilliant.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29- I'm happy with that.- That wasn't on the list, was it?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32It wasn't on the list. That's not small and shiny.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- No.- No, but it's lovely. - Wonderful.- Thank you.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Thanks very much. - Thank you.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40The Reds have bagged an unexpected first item.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42And with just 22 minutes on the clock,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45let's hope it will gallop to a profit.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Meanwhile, the Blues have found another vintage item that relates
0:11:49 > 0:11:51to a British institution.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Sarah, are you liking that, are you?
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- It's got Women's Institute on it. - The WI.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Yeah.- Is there a market for it? - Yeah, is there...?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I think there is. - That Women's Institute...
0:12:00 > 0:12:02I think because it's something which
0:12:02 > 0:12:04is really quite quirky and different.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I mean, you know, it's an amateur-made sign.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09It was made by a WI institution somewhere
0:12:09 > 0:12:12and it was their... their sign which somebody made.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16But it's quite fun how the paint has faded. It's a bit wacky.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- Do you want to...?- How much? How much is it, Sarah?- £135.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20OK, Sarah, I'll make you a deal.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If you can get them down then it's your decision.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Any... Can you take anything else than 135?
0:12:26 > 0:12:32- Or any lower?- The lowest I'd go is probably 90.- Right, OK.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36But it's... It's a local piece of history, it's from Camelford.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40- Right.- The institute was knocked down about 26 years ago.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42So the sign's about 60 years old.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- What do you reckon, Darren? - Well, I trust everything you say.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- What do you reckon? - I need to come back to it.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Right. Will you keep it at 90 if we came back?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- Yes, no problem.- Is that OK?- Yes. - Brilliant.- Thank you very much.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's a great-looking object but it's on the back burner for now.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Meanwhile, Kelly said she wanted something strange and interesting.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Has she found it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09- I love it.- Do you? - Yeah.- I'm not...- It's adorable.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Look at that little face. - I'm not so sure.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Would you not sit on that as a child?
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- I found a zebra. - I can see you found a zebra.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I think he's really cute. I think he's lovely.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Do you?- Yeah. - And what do you think, Andy?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29I think the total opposite.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30Do you? Right.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32Just imagine sitting on him, watching telly.
0:13:32 > 0:13:33It's not a...
0:13:33 > 0:13:38- It looks like it's off of some sort of child's fairground ride.- Yeah.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41- Or something. - He needs a new saddle, doesn't he?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Well, luckily, we've just got one of those.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Oh, luckily, you have!- Yes.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48All right, do you want me to go and see if I can find a price?
0:13:48 > 0:13:51Could you? That would be brilliant.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53While Caroline goes off to investigate the price,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56the Blues are onto something with a local connection.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- Darren, that's Pilgrim Fathers. - I like that.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Well, it's your local town. - Yeah, it is.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04That's the founding fathers of modern-day America, isn't it?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08- It is.- And they set off on the Mayflower in 1620.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12So this is the 350th anniversary, just to commemorate.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I'm sure there were quite a lot produced
0:14:15 > 0:14:19and it's not of great age, but then again, 1970, that is...
0:14:19 > 0:14:22That's 46 years now, isn't it? Depressing thought.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- So...- Vintage.- Vintage, like me!
0:14:26 > 0:14:28The condition is paramount. I can't see anything...
0:14:28 > 0:14:32I mean, do you want to have a look around, Sarah, and just see?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Has it been, like, painted, or is it...?- No, that's the glaze.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Right. - So, what it is, it's a terracotta...
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- It's very obviously a terracotta plate.- Right, yeah.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45And then that has got this slip decoration which has been moulded,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49and then covered with this cream slip to bring out all the design.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51As a bit of local interest,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54it would have probably an auction estimate of £20-30,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57something like that. I don't think it's going to set the world alight.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- No. - But it depends what is on it.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I mean, do you want to buy something local?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Sarah?- I don't mind. If I think...
0:15:05 > 0:15:07If it would get us some money, then...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Can you ask...? Do you want to do some haggling?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Yeah, I can ask. Excuse me, how much is this plate going for?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15What do you reckon it's worth, then?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- 25 quid. - Would you take 15?- No.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22- How about 20? - 21. It seems fair enough.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26Sarah? It's the anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- OK, and we are from Plymouth. - Well, yes. It's a bit of localness.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- It's a bit of localness, if that's a word.- Localness, if that's a word.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- Localness.- Localness. - Localness to us.
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- Do you want to?- I'd say yes. - OK.- Why not?- On your head it be.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Why not? OK, deal.- Deal. - Good man.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44Well done, Blues, with 30 minutes on the clock,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46they have item number two.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49So there's plenty of time for their final buy.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53But what's the news on the Reds' fairground zebra?
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- Right.- What's the word? - Well, what do you think it is?
0:15:58 > 0:16:00I wouldn't even want to hazard a guess.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- I've no idea.- Well, try.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Kelly, what do you think? - I think...
0:16:07 > 0:16:08£40.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- No, you're wrong...- Am I? - ..by 105. 145.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Oh, OK. What is it? - It's 1950s.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17This is from a 1950s fairground ride.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21- Ah!- It's totally original.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Has that changed your opinion, slightly?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27No. That's confirmed my opinion that I don't like it.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Really?- Not at 145.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33That's what he's asking, but I'm sure you could get it down a bit.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38What would be your very best price?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41120.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Maybe two digits?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- No, not two digits. - No, it couldn't be 90?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48100 is the best I will do.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- 100?- But that is the absolute bottom line.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53I think someone is going to collect those
0:16:53 > 0:16:56- and want loads of wooden animals...- What, a herd of zebras?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58- Yeah.- I think you're totally wrong. - Do you?- Yeah.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- We've got to make a decision.- We're running out of time.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03- And I'm still saying no. - OK.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Well, in that case, thank you very much. Thank you.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07He's saying no.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09They just can't agree on the quirky zebra.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13But time is ticking, Reds, and you still have two items to find.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16So let's leave the teams to continue their search.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I love having a rummage around fairs like this
0:17:19 > 0:17:22and I've come across something equally unusual.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But I want to find out if anyone knows what it was used for.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31This is something of a mystery object to some folk,
0:17:31 > 0:17:34but you may recognise it for what it was used for.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- BOTH:- Hmmm...- I would say for measuring tea, possibly?
0:17:37 > 0:17:38A medical spoon?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40It's a cheese scoop.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41Is it for scooping melon?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I thought it was for Stilton.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- An ice-cream scoop? - An ice-cream scoop?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- A little one, a dinky one?- It would be dinky, wouldn't it?- Yeah, yeah.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50It would be dinky.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Well, the answer is that this is a silver marrow scoop.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Now, don't think about the vegetable, no,
0:17:55 > 0:17:59this is actually for extracting the marrowbone jelly
0:17:59 > 0:18:02that you find in the centre of animal bones.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05This example dates to the reign of George III.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10And way back then, marrowbone jelly was seen as a real delicacy.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14We might turn our noses up at it today, but way back then,
0:18:14 > 0:18:19it was seen as being incredibly health-giving and very nutritious.
0:18:19 > 0:18:25What's more, it carries the hallmark and the date mark for the year 1801.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28On top of that, it's got something of a local connection,
0:18:28 > 0:18:34because it carries the crest here of the Cornwall 32nd Regiment of Foot.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39So this probably belonged to a high-ranking Cornish officer of that
0:18:39 > 0:18:44regiment, somebody who was keen to instil higher standards of table
0:18:44 > 0:18:47etiquette around that mess-room table.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Whereas previously they'd been gnawing and slurping
0:18:50 > 0:18:55on animal bones, and instead, use an elegant scoop like this.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- Marrow!- A marrow scoop.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Marrow jelly out of a bone. BOTH:- Ahh!
0:19:01 > 0:19:02From an animal... Marrowbone jelly?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- Do you remember it?- Yeah, I remember it, yes.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- A marrowbone scoop. - A marrowbone... yeah.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11- Have you ever tried marrowbone jelly?- No.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Now, I've seen plenty of marrow scoops made out of animal bone.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And they fetch around about £30, £40 or so.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23But this is silver, and with its regimental connections,
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I can tell you now that if it turned up locally at an auction,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30I would see this making at least £300.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Now, I think that is something of a scoop.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Back to our teams, and they're 40 minutes into their shopping.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42The Blues are ahead with two items and the Reds only have one,
0:19:42 > 0:19:46but they wanted something unusual and they might have just found it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- Oh, I like this. - What have you found?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Look at this choker. - Oh, I like that.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Isn't that beautiful? - I like that, too.- Moonstones.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03Right, it's £110. I think that that is lovely.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- It's beautiful.- It's fairly modern.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09And I don't think it's got a lot of age to it. Let's have a look.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15Yeah, it's silver, 925, which is 925 parts silver.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- And that's gorgeous. - It's lovely, isn't it?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- And the spring's still good? - Yeah, the spring's very good.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24- Has it got a maker? Can I have a little look?- It's fairly modern.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I'm sure it's modern, and they're moonstones, aren't they, madam?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Yes, I think so.- I think that's absolutely beautiful.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- I do, too.- What do you think? - I like it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36What would be your rock-bottom price?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- What does it say on it?- 110. - 100.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42100 would be the best?
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- I would wear it.- I would wear it every day.- I would wear it, yeah.
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- You see...- I really like it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- ..looking at that, then thinking about our zebra...- Yeah.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51..or your zebra, as I should say...
0:20:53 > 0:20:55..I think the zebra sounds more and more attractive now.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Can we go back and get the zebra, then?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Let's go back and get the zebra. - OK, thank you very much.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Oh, I have never in my life heard such a thing.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05- So you are rejecting... - I'm rejecting...
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- ..that rather beautiful thing. - ..that beautiful silver
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- and I'm going to go and buy... - And you want the zebra?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- ..the battered old zebra instead. - Go, go, go!- Yeah, £95... - Thank you very much.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17I didn't see that coming! Andy is won over by the zebra
0:21:17 > 0:21:20and is about to make Kelly a very happy lady.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24While they go back to find it, have the Blues found their final buy?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Time is running low. - We need to really decide.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- What about this? - They're £30 the pair.
0:21:29 > 0:21:30They're glass.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34If we hold it up to the light, some good light, can you see?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37- Yeah, you can see. - It's a dark brown glass.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I would have thought they're most likely Bohemian made.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43- Bohemia, Czech Republic, that sort of area.- Right.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Date-wise, 20th century.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- But they're a nice, decorative, and as you say, pair.- Yeah.- Yeah...
0:21:49 > 0:21:51And our time is ticking.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I think... I think we're being pushed into a
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Women's Institute corner here.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58- You're thinking WI? - I am as well.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- I'm thinking WI now. - I am thinking that, too.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- It's been playing on my mind since...- Yeah.- ..since the last one.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- I think...- We need to go and get that poster.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07We're going to go and get that one, I think.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08This is like deja vu.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Darren also wants to return to the item they saw earlier.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But the race is on for the Reds. They want to secure that zebra.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19Where's the zebra, where's the zebra?
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Where's the zebra?
0:22:22 > 0:22:23Hello! Sorry...
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Any way it could be £95? Any way at all?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- He's beautiful.- Go on, then.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33- Oh, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37- She's bought the zebra!- She's bought the zebra.- I've got the zebra.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I think I may live to regret this.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Now, can we move on and get the third and final item?- Yes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- Yes, let's do that. - Brilliant, where do you want to go?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I think... Back to the deckchair.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Back to the deckchair? - Back to the deckchair?
0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Back to the deckchair.- Back to the deckchair.- Come on.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57The zebra has finally been rescued with 50 minutes on the clock.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00So, have the Blues rescued the sign?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02- Bingo.- Yes, it is still there. - It's still there.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Hi, we're back again. We're really interested in this one.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Can you take it any lower?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11- I really can't.- No? - 90 from 135...
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Would you take 85? - Oh, you're killing me!
0:23:13 > 0:23:18As love... As love as a human being, and a British citizen?
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- OK.- Oh, you are a darling.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22As long as you promise it goes to a good home.
0:23:22 > 0:23:23Absolutely, absolutely.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Shall we shake on it? - Yes.- Thank you very much.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Thank you. Thank you very much. - That's really kind of you.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- Thank you so much.- No problems at all.- Well, guys, there we go.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35- All done.- All three items, with a few minutes to spare.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37The Reds will be somewhere lost, panicking,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39so I think it's time for us to go and get a cup of tea.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- Come on, guys. Let's do it, let's do it.- Come on, let's go.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well done. Well done, indeed. With ten minutes to spare,
0:23:44 > 0:23:47the Blues have done it. So, have the Reds found those chairs?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50The race is on to the finish line.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Hello, we're back again. - We're back!- 30 was her best price.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- 30.- But you can go and ask. - I'll go...- OK.- Go and ask.
0:23:57 > 0:24:0130 was your best price on the deckchair, wasn't it?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- I'll take another five off. - Will you?
0:24:03 > 0:24:05What about if you got two?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- Ah-ha, that's what I'm going to tell you.- What?!
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- I've not bought it yet.- No, no. - One for 30... Yeah?
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- ..or both for 55. - So, £27.50 each?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15- Yeah, that's a brilliant idea. - What, the two?- Yeah.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- Go and get them, then. - Happy? Happy?- Happy.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Happy. Happy!
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Happy! That's job done. - That's job done!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Yes. Yes, please. We've done it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- Brilliant!- £55 and they are ours. - Brilliant.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Testing, testing.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35Fair warning, teams, your 60 minutes are now up.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Time to stop shopping.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- I'm so happy. - Brilliant, I'm so happy.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Oh, thank you! Thank you!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49The Reds were riding high with this leather saddle at £18.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56Kelly just had to have the battered fairground zebra at £95.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00And the chic vintage French deckchairs were £55 for the pair.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05So, Kelly and Andy, I mean, a few problems
0:25:05 > 0:25:08in the agreements department, yes?
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- BOTH:- Yes. - I mean, right up to the wire.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I mean, two buys in the final ten minutes.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17So, Kelly, I need to know what is your favourite buy today.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Hands down, definitely the zebra, definitely the zebra.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- The zebra, yeah? - I love it, I love it so much.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26And what about the one item that you think is going to give you the
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- biggest profit? - I think it's going to be the saddle.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31OK. Now, what about yourself, Andy?
0:25:31 > 0:25:33I really like the deckchairs.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- Very comfortable. - What about the biggest profit?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- I'm going with the saddle as well. - You are?- Yes.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- OK. So, remind us how much you spent.- 168.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Not a bad spend, you know? - It's OK, isn't it?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Not a bad spend, because £132, which is coming my way,
0:25:47 > 0:25:51is quite a reasonable amount for you, Caroline, to go and spend,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- wouldn't you say so?- Thank you very much. Yes. Excellent. Thank you.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Got your eye on anything, Caroline?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00Well, I've seen a few things but I haven't quite made my mind up yet.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03OK. While Caroline makes her mind up, though,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11The mid-20th-century Ekco Bakelite radio was music to their ears
0:26:11 > 0:26:13at £65.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Will it be plain sailing with this Pilgrim Fathers
0:26:17 > 0:26:20commemorative plate? It was just £21.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26And it was jam and Jerusalem all the way with the vintage wooden sign.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It cost £85.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33So, Darren and Sarah, you went off for something sparkly,
0:26:33 > 0:26:36and you came up with something completely different.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Went in with a plan and rearranged the pieces, really.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- Yes.- Darren, what do you think is your favourite object?
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Definitely the plate.- Oh, right.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's going to double, maybe treble, its price.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Oh, wow, double whammy. So, Sarah, what about your favourite object?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51My favourite object was the radio.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53But do you think it's going to give you the biggest profit?
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- I think it will, yes. - Oh, you do?- Yes.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58- Oh, well, that's interesting. - More than the plate.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- Well, remind me how much you spent.- £171.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02That's a pretty reasonable spend.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- You should be proud of yourselves there.- Yeah, it was quite good.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07So that means you're going to give me 100 and...
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- 29.- So it doesn't stay with me for more than a few seconds,
0:27:11 > 0:27:14it goes over to Ben for the bonus buy.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15So, any ideas?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, I'm thinking of getting something older.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Pre-20th century.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22I think going to go, get something really old, that's my plan.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25OK. Well, whilst Ben goes off to spend,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27we're going off to the auction.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40We're in Plymouth. We're in Eldred's auction house
0:27:40 > 0:27:43and I'm joined by Anthony Eldred himself.
0:27:43 > 0:27:44It's a pleasure to welcome you here.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Thank you. Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49So, starting with the Red team, that's Kelly and Andy.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53They came up with this very impressive-looking English saddle.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58Now, are we in an area where you've got lots and lots of equestrian
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- events happening?- Oh, absolutely. I mean, we are on Dartmoor.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- Of course you are. - So lots of horse events going on,
0:28:03 > 0:28:04lots of interest in saddlery.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06So, what's your estimate on the saddle?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09My estimate, £20-30.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10There's quite a lot of them on the market.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Oh, right. They did OK, they paid 18 for it.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16- Well, that's a good buy.- They could be riding high with that one,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- couldn't they?- Oh, I hope so. - Well, let's watch, wait and see.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Now, the next item... I don't know - the zebra.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24It might have started off on a roundabout or something
0:28:24 > 0:28:25but you don't see many of them.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I'd like to have seen the whole roundabout
0:28:28 > 0:28:30and I think it probably did come off a roundabout,
0:28:30 > 0:28:32looking at the fixtures, they're quite heavy-duty.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34- Yeah.- Just the one?
0:28:34 > 0:28:36It's not in the best of condition.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39So I think, again, a modest estimate, 20-30.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Yeah, it's modest in comparison to what they paid.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- They paid £95 for it.- Did they? Did they?
0:28:45 > 0:28:48And the third item are two wood-frame deckchairs.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52- I mean, perfect for summer.- Yes, we're back in the '60s and '70s.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54Well, there's a pair of these, so what do you think
0:28:54 > 0:28:59- and what's your estimate?- You can buy a reproduction one for £105.
0:28:59 > 0:29:04- So we thought 20-30 would be right. - They paid £55 for the pair.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- I think they're still in with a chance.- They are.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Well, it looks as though they may well need to consider
0:29:09 > 0:29:12their bonus buy, so let's take a look at it.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Well, you left Caroline £132 to go out and spend.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20So, Caroline, what did you spend it on?
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Well...
0:29:22 > 0:29:23You're looking worried.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27OK!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29Do you like?
0:29:29 > 0:29:31It's quite sweet.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33The little illustration's cute.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I don't think I would have picked it up, but what is it?! What is it?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Well, it's a baby plate.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40It's about 1930s.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- OK.- Made by Shelley.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47And the designer is Mabel Lucie Attwell,
0:29:47 > 0:29:49who's designed this lovely picture here.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- She did the illustrations for some of the Alice In Wonderland books, didn't she?- Yes, yeah.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55And then you've got this little rhyme here.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Would you like to read it?- OK.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00"If I had a fairy How jolly it would be
0:30:00 > 0:30:03"I'd bathe him in a tea cup And take him walks with me!"
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Aww.- That is quite sweet. - Isn't that lovely?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Do you want to have a look? How much did you pay for it?
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I paid £15.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15- Oh, OK.- And what do you think it will make at auction?
0:30:15 > 0:30:17I think it's going to double its money.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19- Really?- I do.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21It's certainly interesting.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Do people collect this sort of thing?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Yes, yes, there is a following of people
0:30:25 > 0:30:29that collect works by Mabel Lucie Attwell, or Shelley,
0:30:29 > 0:30:33baby memorabilia. I think it's a really sweet thing.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Good.- Remember, you don't have to make your minds up now.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40You do that after you've sold the first three lots.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42But, meanwhile, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:30:42 > 0:30:45about Caroline's Shelley baby plate.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- What's your thoughts? - Well, Mabel Lucie Attwell,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51we've had them before.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Normally they're not in as nice a condition as this one.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55The paint falls off them very easily.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57And what's your estimate?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Well, the market is worldwide now with the internet
0:31:00 > 0:31:02for this sort of thing. My estimate, £10-20.
0:31:02 > 0:31:0410-20?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06OK. Well, they paid 15 for it.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Well, I like that and I think it deserves to do better.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12But having said that, let's have a look at the Blues,
0:31:12 > 0:31:16this is Darren and Sarah, and their first item is behind you.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19It's the Ekco Bakelite radio receiver.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21The market for vintage radios is there,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23it's very much on the internet.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26You really want colour and shape for these things.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28It's a little bit square.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30But there it is, it's Ekco, good name,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32missing one or two little bits here and there.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35I think it will make between £10-20.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38£10-20. They went and paid £65 for it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Ah.- Yeah.- I don't think they're going to get that for it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46OK. Well, the next item they've got is a Pilgrim Fathers Plymouth plate.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49You can see there, it's all sort of slip trail
0:31:49 > 0:31:54and 350 years since the Mayflower set sail from Plymouth.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Indeed. But it's not a rarity. - No?
0:31:56 > 0:32:00We do see these and there really isn't a lot to say about it.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02It's perfectly decorative if you want to put
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- yet another plate on your dresser.- Right.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07- So, estimate? - £5-10.
0:32:07 > 0:32:105-10. They paid £21 for it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13So that one may be sailing into the sunset,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16and whether or not it's going to make any money, we shall see,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19we shall see. So, their third item is the sign.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Stencilled in black and white with "Women's Institute".
0:32:22 > 0:32:25- What do you think?- I like it. - Good!- I think it's a great object.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29Yeah, I can just see that in a big farmhouse, the jam pan underneath.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32I'm hearing Jerusalem as we speak.
0:32:32 > 0:32:33I like that as well.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35So, estimate?
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Between 30 and £50.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Again, they've gone and paid £85 for that.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44It sounds a lot to me but I wouldn't rule it out.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- It could well make it.- I think all things being equal, though,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50they're going to have to consider their bonus buy.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54So let's have a look at it.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58Well, Blues, you left Ben £129 to go out and spend.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00So spend you did, Ben, but what on?
0:33:00 > 0:33:03Well, I wanted to find something old
0:33:03 > 0:33:05and something a bit different from what you'd found on your shop,
0:33:05 > 0:33:10so I found a bit of 18th-century Chinese porcelain.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- So, Sarah, what do you think of it? - I think it's cute.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15I like it. I do like it a lot, actually.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19I reckon, when I look at the kind of potting on the bottom here,
0:33:19 > 0:33:25and also having this brown colour at the top, this cafe au lait colour,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28it dates to the late Kangxi period into Yongzheng period,
0:33:28 > 0:33:31which is around about 1735-ish.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35So it's actually quite an old pot
0:33:35 > 0:33:36and it's in perfect condition.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40The handle has no cracks on it, it's all there.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- So, Darren, what do you think of it? - I like it now.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47When you first showed it to me, I was a little bit sceptical about it.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49But now you've told me the background about it
0:33:49 > 0:33:52and where it's from, I quite like it. How much did you pay for it?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54£22.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Ooh, and how much do you think it'll be worth?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Well, I really hope it should double its money.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03For a bit of porcelain which is almost 300 years old,
0:34:03 > 0:34:07it would be so sad if it only goes for 20 quid
0:34:07 > 0:34:09considering it's perfect. It's a lovely thing.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- That would be good, then. - I like it.- Yeah, I like it as well.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Remember, you don't have to make your minds up now,
0:34:16 > 0:34:18you do that once you've sold your first three items.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22But, meanwhile, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:34:22 > 0:34:25about Ben's Chinese cup.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28So, this is Ben's bonus buy. What are your thoughts?
0:34:28 > 0:34:33- Where's the saucer?- Well, there is that, yes, that's very true.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34But it has got some age to it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Yes, I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, it's a Chinese cup from
0:34:37 > 0:34:41I think a little later, I think it's late 17th century.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44But again, it is just the cup, so we really need the saucer
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- to make a go of it, I think.- So, estimate?
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- 10-15.- 10-15. He paid £22 for it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53I still think that 18th-century porcelain is dirt cheap.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- You're taking the auction today?- I am and I'm looking forward to it.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57And so are we.
0:35:01 > 0:35:035, 6...
0:35:03 > 0:35:04How are we feeling, you two?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I'm so excited. I can't believe this is actually happening.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09- It's brilliant.- I'm a little nervous.- A little nervous?
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Yes.- That's all right, it's all part and parcel of what we do.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Yes, it is.- But your first item's coming up.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- It's the leather saddle. - You paid £18 for it.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19So I think you should be in for a profit on this one.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22- Easy money. - Either way, it's coming up now.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Let's have a tenner for it, somebody, quickly.
0:35:24 > 0:35:2510 I'm bid. At 10, 12.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- Come on.- Come on. - 15, seated at 15.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30At £15 here at the back with the lady.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32At £15. 18 anywhere?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35- Come on, bit more! - A bit more!- At £15, then.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Nothing online? At £15.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- Oh, no...- Quite sure at 15. Last chance, everyone.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Oh, such a shame. - No!
0:35:44 > 0:35:46You paid 18, you just sold it for 15.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48- We're in a minus three situation. - That's OK.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51It's OK. Well, the zebra toy's coming up now.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52- You paid £95 for it. - Yes, we did.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- You get a lot of zebra for £95, don't you?- You do.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56- You do as well. - It's beautiful.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58- Tenner for that one, quickly.- What?!
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Somebody, a tenner. 10 I'm bid. At £10, 12.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01- Two bids, two bids.- 15, 18, 20.
0:36:03 > 0:36:052. 25. 25, 28.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07£30. And 2.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Bidding's in the room.- Yes. - At 125. It's against you online.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Last chance online, then.- One more. - One more.- At £125, I'll sell it.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56All done.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57ALL: Yes! Well done.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01- Thank you! Thank you, world. - Well done.- I can't believe it.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06OK. Well, I mean, paid 95 for it, you've just sold it for 125.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08So you've just made yourself £30,
0:37:08 > 0:37:12you were already minus 3, so that puts you in a plus £27 position.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- That's not too bad.- That is good. - We've got your deckchairs coming up.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- You paid £55.- Yeah.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19- They're coming up now. - A tenner for those two, quickly?
0:37:19 > 0:37:23Somebody, 10. 10 I'm bid. At 10, 12.
0:37:23 > 0:37:24At £12 against you.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Bidding? 15. At 15, 18.
0:37:27 > 0:37:3120 now. At £20. Against the net at £20.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Bidding's with the lady here.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35At £20, then. It's your last chance,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I know summer's gone but it's coming again soon.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41At £20. Are you all done at 20?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Oh!- What a shame.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49So, there you go, you just lost yourselves £35 there.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54You were plus 27 ahead, so you are minus £8, if my maths is correct.
0:37:54 > 0:37:58So, you've still got the option of Caroline's bonus buy.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- Are we going to go for it or what? - I think we have to, don't we?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- I think we're going to. Yeah. - We can't lose money.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- Let's go for it, let's go for it. - Excellent, fighting talk.- Decided.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Tenner starts that one quickly.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Nobody? 10 I'm bid. At £10. Here at 10. 12 if you want it?
0:38:12 > 0:38:14At £10, 12.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17At £12. Against the net at £12.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19- Bidding? 15.- It's so cheap!
0:38:19 > 0:38:22We want more. Come on, we want more.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26At £15 only, then. Third row. Last chance, everyone,
0:38:26 > 0:38:27I'm selling it at £15.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Come on!
0:38:29 > 0:38:34- Oh!- Sorry, guys. - That's all right.- No harm, no foul.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37£15, broke even on that one.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41So we're left with a grand total
0:38:41 > 0:38:45- of minus eight.- Never mind. - It could have been a lot worse.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49And I can tell you now, that can be a winning score.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53OK? But, as always, not a word to the Blues.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Sealed.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Hello, Blues. Now, how are you feeling?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Excited.- Yeah.- I can't wait.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It is going to be interesting, I think. Very interesting.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10And we're all excited. I can assure you we're all excited.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12What about auctions, are you regulars at auctions?
0:39:12 > 0:39:13No, I've never been to one.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I've got a funny feeling after this you'll be going to them regularly,
0:39:16 > 0:39:20I really am. Your first item's coming up, it's the Ekco-type radio,
0:39:20 > 0:39:24the Bakelite one. You paid £65 for it.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25And it is coming up now.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27A tenner for that one, quickly.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Somebody, 10, surely, for the Bakelite radio.
0:39:29 > 0:39:335 I'm bid. 6. At £6, there.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- That's so cheap.- At £6 only. 8.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Are you bidding or not? 10.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38- 12.- Keep it going.
0:39:38 > 0:39:4214. At £14, there, standing.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Quite sure at £14, then?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Take more if I can.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Are you all done at £14?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Last chance, everyone. You're out online. 14 it is, then.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55Oh, such a shame.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59Don't be down. £14, so it gives us a rolling total of minus 51.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01OK? Everything to play for.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Now, we've got our Pilgrim Fathers Plymouth plate coming up.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You paid £21 for it. And it's coming up now.
0:40:07 > 0:40:08A fiver for this one, somebody?
0:40:08 > 0:40:115, 6, 8, 10.
0:40:11 > 0:40:1412. At £12 here.
0:40:14 > 0:40:1715 now. At £15.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- 18. Third row now. - 18...
0:40:20 > 0:40:22At £18 in front.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- 20. At £20. Two of you want it. - Oh, come on. Go one more.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- At £20 online.- Yes!
0:40:27 > 0:40:29- 22.- 22, profit, profit, profit.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32At £22, against the net now. 25.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35At 25 here. 8 if you want it, sir.
0:40:35 > 0:40:36At £25.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Bidding's online. Quite sure?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Last chance, then? At £25, I'll sell it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45- Yes!- £25!
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Well done - a profit.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Well, that's £4 profit, which gives us a rolling total now of minus 47.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54We're chipping away at it, aren't we?
0:40:54 > 0:40:57And the next item that's coming up is the Women's Institute sign.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00£20 at that one. At £20. 2 anywhere?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03At 22, 5, 8, 30.
0:41:03 > 0:41:062, 5, 8, 40.
0:41:06 > 0:41:092, 5, 8, 50.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- 5, 60.- Yes!
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- At £60, bidding's on my right here. - Go on...
0:41:13 > 0:41:15- You're all out before, then. - Give it another.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17At £60. Nothing online?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18All done at 60, then.
0:41:20 > 0:41:21Oh! Sold for 60.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Now, that's a loss of £25,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27which brings your total to minus £72.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- But you have got your bonus buy to go for.- Yep.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32- The decision is yours.- Yeah, we're going to go with it, aren't we? - Definitely.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34- We have every faith in you, Ben. - Yeah.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- Fingers crossed. - No need for fingers crossed.
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Good old Ben.- No need to. - Right, it's coming up now.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I'm bid a fiver for it. At £5. 6 if you want it.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45At £5, six?
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- 8. At £8. 10. - Come on.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- At £10.- We know it's well worth the money.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51Against the internet at £10. 12, if you want it.
0:41:51 > 0:41:5312. 14.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56At £14.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Against the net, then, at £14.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03- All finished at £14. I'll sell it. - No money.- Come on, room.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05Oh, £14.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09- OK.- Never mind.- It's a minus 8, which takes us up to
0:42:09 > 0:42:12a rolling total of minus £80.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16That could be a winning score. OK?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- So, remember, not a word to the Reds.- Not a word.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Well, the results are in.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32But it does grieve me to say that I'm not going to be handing out any
0:42:32 > 0:42:36money, because neither team made a profit.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39But we do have a winner and we do have a runner-up.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43And our runners-up today, with a loss of £80,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- is our Blue team.- Oh! - Yes!
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Oh, what a shock.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50I think it's fair to say the Bakelite radio
0:42:50 > 0:42:52- didn't do you any good, did it?- No.- Nah.- It really didn't.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54- But have you had fun?- Yes, we have. - Yeah, great fun.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57- We've had really good fun. - Because that's what it's all about.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58- Absolutely.- Yeah.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- So, turning to the Reds, with a mere loss...- Yes!
0:43:01 > 0:43:04..of £8. I mean, let's be honest,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- your zebra did you proud today. - Yes, it did.- Certainly did.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09I'm going to buy so many more zebras now.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11That's just me done.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13- Have you had fun?- It's been amazing.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14- It's been brilliant, yeah. - Brilliant.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17- You've enjoyed yourselves. - Thank you so much.- Pleasure.
0:43:17 > 0:43:18So, that's it for now.
