0:00:04 > 0:00:08Today, I'm in Shropshire where, over 100 years ago,
0:00:08 > 0:00:14a Scotsman called Henry Eckford developed a little-known flower
0:00:14 > 0:00:17which was to become a worldwide favourite -
0:00:17 > 0:00:23the sweet pea, known for its bright colours and wonderful scent.
0:00:23 > 0:00:29And today, at our antiques fair, we have two very colourful teams,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32each on the scent of some great buys.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36So, let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06The antiques and collectibles fair at Oswestry Showground
0:01:06 > 0:01:08is today's fertile garden,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11where our teams hope to pluck a bargain.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15To do this, they have just one hour and £300
0:01:15 > 0:01:18to buy three items to take to auction.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20But will they grow any profit?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Let's take a look at what's coming up.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28On today's show, for the Reds, it's all about compromise.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Well, if Alan likes it, I'll let him choose this one.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35And for the Blues, it's all about disagreement.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- The chair, Josie. - No, no, not the chair.- The chair.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43While at the auction, there's disappointment...
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Oh!
0:01:45 > 0:01:46..and frustration.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Thomas!- I know, I know, I know.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56That's all for later, but let's meet today's teams, two sets of pals.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58For the Reds, we have Alan and Colin,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02and for the Blues, we have Josie and Nicole.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Hello, everybody. ALL:- Hello!
0:02:04 > 0:02:09It's lovely to have you here. Alan, how did you two guys meet?
0:02:09 > 0:02:16We met about 20 years ago when I was invited to become a Freemason.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Colin was already there.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22He showed me round and we've been pals ever since.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Alan, you're retired now, but you used to be a policeman.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26How did you get into that?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I met my future wife at a dance
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and she'd got rather an austere grandmother.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35She pulled me to one side one day, she said,
0:02:35 > 0:02:41"Young man, I approve of you going out with my granddaughter
0:02:41 > 0:02:45"but before you get married, why don't you get a job with prospects?
0:02:45 > 0:02:50"Why don't you go and join the police force?" So, I did.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52You know, things you do for love, isn't it?
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- And did you marry that girl? - I married that girl, yes, indeed.
0:02:56 > 0:03:01Now, Colin, I believe you were in international freight.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03What does that involve?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06International freight is shipping cargo from the UK
0:03:06 > 0:03:08to anywhere in the world.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13But my greatest achievement was when I became a ship owner for 15 days.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- 15 days? - Yes, and somewhere in my loft,
0:03:17 > 0:03:22I still have a cheque which was made out to me for over a million dollars
0:03:22 > 0:03:24for the charter of the vessel.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Why is it up in the loft? - It was only a photocopy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29LAUGHTER
0:03:29 > 0:03:31What's the plan out there today?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Buy what we fancy, something perhaps a little retro,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37spend a little and make a big profit.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40That sounds like the real thing to do.
0:03:40 > 0:03:47So, that's the Red team. Let's meet today's Blue team, Josie and Nicole.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Now, Josie, how did you two guys meet?
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Well, I'm a founder member of Sale U3A,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55which is the University of the Third Age,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59which is an organisation set up for people who've retired
0:03:59 > 0:04:02from full-time work but want to keep their brain active.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04It's a self-help thing.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07There are no teachers, no tutors, we don't pay anybody.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12The mantra is that those who teach learn, and those who learn teach.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- Nicole came three or four years ago...- Two years ago.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20..and joined the committee and, for some reason, we gel,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23because we're completely different people, but we do gel.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29Down here, it says that you like jumping off buildings.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32There was a charity saying, "Pay us some money
0:04:32 > 0:04:37"and we'll let you abseil down the Palace Theatre in Manchester."
0:04:37 > 0:04:41And I thought, "That's a good idea." So, I went to do that.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44And it was, it was a fabulous experience,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48but I had two hunky men helping me, so it did do good.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I think you're a bit of a wild woman.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Now, Nicole, you're also retired,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59but you started off as a set designer for television.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Yes, I was a set designer.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05One of the programmes that we were allocated to do was Play School.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09I designed the clock that has the petals on it that goes round
0:05:09 > 0:05:11and a stick and then a bit at the bottom
0:05:11 > 0:05:14that had what was on today going round.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16It was lovely. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19So, what are your tactics going to be?
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Mine is to buy with my head and not my heart.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25But, Josie, I'm going to buy with my heart
0:05:25 > 0:05:29because that's the way I do things. So, we've got a heart and head here.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- Well, maybe that's a winning combination.- Or...
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- We'll have to see, we'll have to see.- Heart, head.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Let's give you some money.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- £300 here, £300 here.- Thank you.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45- Your experts await, so off you go.- Thank you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Ladies and gentlemen, it's the battle of the sexes.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54And on hand to help, we have today's experts.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Hitting the right note for the Reds, it's John Cameron.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05And hoping to snap up a profit for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08What are we going to be buying today?
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I'm all for finding some silver, ceramics.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Interesting things.- Interesting things.- Interesting. Off the wall.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17A bit of retro, memorabilia, something police orientated.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Anything that'll make a profit.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Right, teams, your time starts now. BELL RINGS
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Make a profit, and off the wall.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- We've got our money. Let's get on the beat.- Yes!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31So, they're off and our eager Blues jump straight in.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- Can we please look at the deckchair? - You've seen a deckchair?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36See if we can get it a bit cheaper.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I think she wants to sit down already.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40You want to sit down already?
0:06:40 > 0:06:42While Nicole knows what SHE wants,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44the Reds have found something on their shopping list.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Well, it's the West Mercia Police, and it's where we are.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49It's one that I used to wear.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52It's a little bit of nostalgia and a very limited market,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55- I would think.- So, you're not going to buy this?- No.- No, no?- No.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57All right then, OK. There we go.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- I'm glad you made that decision, Alan.- Come on.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02So, case closed.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Meanwhile, back with the Blues, Nicole is on a mission.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07How much is your deckchair, please?
0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Told you.- What have you done? - I'm sorry. 10 quid.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, shut up! Really?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Yes. Shh, shh. What's the matter? - You just bought it?
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- Should I not have done that? - No, that's absolutely marvellous.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25We've been shopping for a minute!
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Wow, I think that's a Bargain Hunt record!
0:07:28 > 0:07:32But before you move on, what have you bought, Nicole?
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- This is it, Josie.- Yes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Now, you see, all they have to do is put a new thing on this
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and you've got a good solid deckchair there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42That's it, all they've got to do, all they've got to do...
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I know! I know!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I don't think you need to put a new seat on it, do you?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- Well, I would, if that was me, yes. - Yeah, I can see, if you want to.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- But it's a solid construction. - You're selling it to us.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55But you didn't even look at it. You just sort of went and bought it!
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I could see that it was all right. - You could see the quality.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- I could see the quality. - Does good luck follow you?- Yes.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Well, there you are. That's all I need to know.- I hope so.- Come on.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- All right, go on.- Off we go.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09One item down and we know who's in charge with the Blues.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11I'm just going to leave it to you, Nicole.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15How are the Reds getting on?
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I quite like that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21"Oven and freezer-proof, microwave and dishwasher safe."
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Which would suggest it hasn't got a huge amount of age to it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- A reproduction.- Why do you like it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:30I like the style of it and it looks like a miniature barrel,
0:08:30 > 0:08:33- as they used to be. - I agree with you there, Alan.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I think it's a nice form. It's a coopered barrel.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I think that's a marvellous old craft that has pretty much died out
0:08:39 > 0:08:42in this country, of being able to build something made of wood
0:08:42 > 0:08:44with no glue joints on it,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- that is held together by those metal rings and it's watertight.- Yeah.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- But this one is ceramic, John. - I like it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54I like the whole form of it and it would look nice in the kitchen
0:08:54 > 0:08:57or in a bar or somewhere of that nature, I think.
0:08:57 > 0:08:58There's only one thing to say.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02# Roll Out the barrel Let's have a barrel of fun. #
0:09:02 > 0:09:04What do you think, Colin?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Well, if Alan likes it, I'll let him choose this one.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Got a price tag here of £15.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I wonder if there's any movement on that at all.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16- What's your best price?- £10.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Can you do it for £8?- No.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- These two! - Make it £9 and you've got a deal.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- Go on then.- You've got £9. Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28- Thank you very much indeed. Just the job.- £9.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Well, I quite like that as well, actually.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33So, the Reds also have their first item
0:09:33 > 0:09:35and they said they wanted ceramics.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Blues, what's Nicole spotted now?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- It's been redone.- That's all right.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47- I love it!- That's fine.- It's beautiful. It's a beautiful chair.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Is it what they call a hall chair?
0:09:49 > 0:09:51It's modelled on something like a saloon suite,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53cos you get a suite of these.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56It looks like it's in walnut, it looks continental.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59And it's being sold by a shy stallholder
0:09:59 > 0:10:02who has priced it at £125.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's like a prayer chair.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- So, if you are a believer.- Yes. - So, you kneel on it.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- And then you pray to your... - Mm.- I think it's beautiful, Thomas.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- Yeah.- Absolutely beautiful. Would you take sort of like £100?- No.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Would you take £110?- No.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Would you take £115?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25She's going up.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Yeah, will you stop her, please, before she says she'll buy it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:33- What do you want to do?- Buy it. - No, for me.- No.- Yes.- Yes, no.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Yes, yes, yes, yes.- It's an option, it's something to look at.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40- It's beautiful!- Right, girls, I think- I- need to kneel...
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- JOSIE LAUGHS - ..and pray.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I think the ladies have broken Thomas!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Have a look at this, boys.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- Look at that! - This looks interesting.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51This horse sulky tricycle. Look at that!
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- That is beautiful. - Isn't it stunning?- Fantastic.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- How old would that be roughly? - I would say...- "1930s".
0:10:57 > 0:10:59That's says when it was designed.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm looking at that, thinking it's probably 1960s.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04You can imagine the youngsters in the 1960s
0:11:04 > 0:11:06really having a fantastic time on that, can't you?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08What a wonderful thing.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Well, I want to go and find the stallholder
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- and just see how much that is. - OK.- I'll be back in a sec.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15While John goes search of a price,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19it seems Nicole and Josie are struggling to agree.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23- I like them.- For me, I wouldn't even pick them up.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25No, we'll go with yours the next one. We'll go with yours.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- That's what you said with the deckchair.- I shall put them back.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Well done, Nicole.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Back with the Reds, John has found the stallholder.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Tell us what you know.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Right, very little, except it's the only picture we could find
0:11:41 > 0:11:43- of this style horse and trap.- Right.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47Unfortunately, I can't say it's a original Steiff.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- It's papier mache.- Yeah. - And if you look under here,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53you can see the original felt.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58It's been left out, obviously, and they've recovered it.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I had a young lad on it the other day going up and down the path.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Don't get any ideas, you two! You're a little bit big for this.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07It will adjust a little, but not quite that much.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Not for us, I'm afraid.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12We can dream, can't we, of what we would have done when we were young?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16The big question is, what have you got it up for?
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I've got it for £125.
0:12:18 > 0:12:23Could we get that down to around 100 notes?
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- No, less than that! 100 notes?! - See what I'm dealing with here?
0:12:27 > 0:12:31All right, to please everybody, I'll come just under the £100. £95.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I think you've got yourself a deal, don't you?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35I think we'll go with that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- Put your hand out. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- I didn't even have to get involved there.- Thank you very much.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- It's a retro, which I wanted. - You did.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45- You wanted retro, you like toys as well.- Exactly.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Brilliant, boys. Well done.
0:12:47 > 0:12:48Well done indeed.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51That's two items in just 25 minutes
0:12:51 > 0:12:53and another one ticked off your wish list.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Now, is Josie having any luck in choosing an item for the Blues?
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- It's a tribal.- Right.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- You normally see these for toiling the soil, don't you?- Yes.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06But that's not been used, so is it all right?
0:13:06 > 0:13:09- Must be ceremonial.- Ceremonial. - Or it could be one of these things
0:13:09 > 0:13:12bought at the airport in Nairobi or somewhere.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's one of those mad things. Do you like it?
0:13:15 > 0:13:20- I do.- What do you like about it?- I just think it's unusual and tactile.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24- It's not very much money at £16. - No, no. Where's our stallholder?
0:13:25 > 0:13:28How much? I know what I want to pay for it,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30but what would you want to ask for it?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- Well, it says £16 on it.- Yeah.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Could put it down it down to £12. - £8.- Shh.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- Go between us, her £8 and your £12. - Go on then.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Thank you very much indeed. Can I shake your hand? Thank you.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Right, Thomas, £10. - That's brilliant!- That's great!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48- That's a really great result. Well done, you.- Well done.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50So, that means that you've bought something for £10
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- and, Josie, you've bought something for £10.- Mm-hmm.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56- You've got £280 left to spend. - Yes, we can buy the chair.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00We're not talking about the chair! We're going to move on.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03- I'm going to introduce you to a few other things.- Thank you.- OK.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- And there's a deep sigh. Come on!- OK.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Good luck with THAT one, Thomas.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Back with the Reds, John's got a plan of his own.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Right, boys, we've used up nearly half our time
0:14:13 > 0:14:15but we do have over half our money left.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Shall we head inside and look at some of those stalls in there?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- That sounds good.- Come on. - That sounds like a good plan.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24You've been very efficient shoppers, boys,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27and silver is the only thing left on your wish list.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- Is that pewter?- That's pewter, yeah. It doesn't sell massively well
0:14:31 > 0:14:33unless it's got something special about it,
0:14:33 > 0:14:36so perhaps if it's got a good designer name on it, like Liberty.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38They did a lot of pewter in the Arts and Crafts period.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So, you're looking for names and things like that.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Well, it's not silver, but it is shiny-ish.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49Over to the Blues and Nicole has found a vintage railway wagon plate.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53- Do you like it, Josie? - They can sell very well.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56But that's only £45.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Even if we paid that, we've not actually spent an awful lot.- I know.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- And we're not going to make a lot of profit.- No, I know.- No, right.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07That sounded like a joint decision, Blues.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Now, Reds, how's your search for silver going?
0:15:10 > 0:15:14- John, what about this pillbox? - It's quite sweet.- Is it silver?
0:15:14 > 0:15:18It looks silver. It looks like it's hallmarked 1909. It's Chester.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21It's got £110 on that.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Also, I've spotted there, there's a little auctioneer's gavel,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- and it's a rattle. Can you see that?- Ooh, yes.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Now, we're after a golden gavel, obviously.- That's right.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31But this could be our chance to buy a silver gavel.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- That's got £155 on it, hasn't it?- Hmm, OK.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- Let's ask the vendor, see what we can do on price.- OK.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Sir, my partners in crime here have taken a shine
0:15:40 > 0:15:42to a couple of items in your cabinet here.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46What about this little gavel here?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48It's a baby's rattle.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- RATTLE TINKLES In working order.- In working order.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Let's have a look at this one.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54There's a nice embossed scene on the top there.
0:15:54 > 0:15:56You've got these little cherubs, playing music.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58- That's nice, yeah. - It opens up there.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- There's still traces of its gilding inside.- Yeah.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03And you've also got some marks here as well.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06So, £110 is the asking price. What can you do on that?
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- £100.- What do you think? - How about £80?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12- £95.- I tell you what...
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- £90, negotiate.- I tell you what,
0:16:15 > 0:16:18make it £90 and I'll take it off your hands right now.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- I'll sell it to you for £90. - You're an absolute gentleman.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I think he's going to sell it to you for £90
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- just to get rid of the pair of you. - THEY LAUGH
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much indeed.- Very happy chaps.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Well done, you two.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35We've got our third purchase and we have got 25 minutes left,
0:16:35 > 0:16:38so you certainly haven't slowed down in your advanced years.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41In fact, you two have gone round here like a couple of two-year-olds.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Is it either a cup of tea or some warm milk?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- I'll settle for coffee. - A cup of coffee.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Well done, Reds.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Three items bought and your shopping list all ticked off.
0:16:53 > 0:16:57Now, Thomas, how are you finding shopping with THESE women?
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Well, I've one, Nicole, who goes on impulse.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Give me free money and I'll just go for it.- Yeah.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05And then I've got Josie,
0:17:05 > 0:17:10who's lovely and she really wants to take her time and consider.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12And then I'm stuck in the middle.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- What do you mean, my thing?- Or both.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17We haven't spent very much money.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20So, Blues, what are you thinking?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- We're trying to negotiate, aren't we?- We are indeed.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25- We're trying to sort of do that. - Yes.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- But...- But we've not really spent very much and we need a third item.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- The chair, Josie, the chair. - No, no, not the chair!
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I think you need to keep looking, Blues.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Now, did the Reds find their cup of coffee?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41What do we think of the Bargain Hunting?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- Well, I think it's a bit of a doddle.- I think we've cracked it
0:17:45 > 0:17:48and I bet the others are going round still shopping.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Well, shall we drink to that? - I think we should.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Now, now, Reds, no need to be smug.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56But the Blues do still need one more item
0:17:56 > 0:18:00and they now have just ten minutes of shopping time left.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I've brought you here because there's some nice little bits
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- of silver and I feel that silver does very well at auction.- Right.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08- I know you still like your chair. - Yeah, I do.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10I know, I know, but I am just trying to introduce you to other things.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Josie, what do you see?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16These three pieces of silver - the mustard, the pepper and the salt.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18These are lovely. There are three bits,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21it's part of a cruet set, it adorns anybody's table.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25They're not made to go together
0:18:25 > 0:18:27but they are three things to go on a table.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29They have the same date letter.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31We call those trencher salts
0:18:31 > 0:18:34and that cruet is missing its blue glass lining, that one there.
0:18:34 > 0:18:35- Yeah.- But you can get those.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38And if you open that mustard, what do you see in there?
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- It has got its liner.- That's beautiful, isn't it?- It's beautiful.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- Absolutely beautiful.- Price is £120.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47What's your best possible price?
0:18:47 > 0:18:50The best price would be £100.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Can you do any better? £80?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56No, I couldn't do £80 because I paid more than that.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- I'll drop to £90, if that would help.- OK.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03If you could possibly just drop it a fiver, down to £85?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06OK, as it's the end of the day.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Well, it's Josie you need to shake with, not me.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11No, you've just done the... Go on.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14Thank you very much indeed.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Thank you. Appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Oh, I love you two! This has been marvellous.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22HORN BLARES Right, teams,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24stop clowning around. Time's up.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29- £105, you two have spent on three items.- That's not bad.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- We can go and get some more then, can't we?- We're not allowed!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35THEY LAUGH
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41First up, their stoneware barrel.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Next, the child's sulky tricycle.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Finally, it was the silver pillbox.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Well, you guys knew what you wanted,
0:20:00 > 0:20:05you knew what you liked and you went out and got it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09But not only that, but you are fast.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11What was your favourite item?
0:20:11 > 0:20:14My favourite item was the little pillbox.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Do you agree?- No.- No.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Mine was the ceramic barrel.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25I think that's a super little item and that's my favourite.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30- But is it going to make the most profit?- Yes, I think it is.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Do you agree?- No. - ANITA LAUGHS
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I think the pillbox will do very well.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Remind me, again, exactly how much you spent.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42£194.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Well, that is absolutely splendid.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Could you give me £106?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- There we are.- There you go.- £106. I will hand it over to John.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55It's not a bad amount of money, John.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Do you have any idea what you're going to buy?- No, I don't.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01It's a good sum of money, but we certainly had
0:21:01 > 0:21:04no bitter pills to swallow and barrels of fun,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07so I'm going to keep the consistency up here.
0:21:07 > 0:21:08I want to surprise you both.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12So, while John goes off to buy his lovely surprise,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15let's have a look at what the Blues bought.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Nicole was quick off the mark with her folding deckchair.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Next up, the tribal tool.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And, finally, the silver condiments set.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Well, girls, did you have a lovely time?- Yes, thank you.- Yes.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40Now, Nicole, you bought the first item in one minute.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I've never seen that happening before.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Well, it was just sort of, like, it was there, so I went and bought it.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- And I forgot about Thomas, I forgot about...- Josie.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51- I forgot about Josie.- Josie.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55I forgot everything and I just went and shook hands and it was done.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00It was a shock to me. I didn't know it was happening. It was just done.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Tell me, what's your favourite item?
0:22:02 > 0:22:06For me, it's the Chester silver, the three-piece cruet set.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- Nicole, what's your favourite item? - The deckchair.- Ah, wonderful.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I think it will make a profit, you see.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15But I think that the silver will make the best profit.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Yes, the silver.- Do you agree?- I do. - You girls are in agreement.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21For once, this afternoon.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24Tell me, how much money did you spend?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26We spent £105.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31£105. Well, £195 to me, please,
0:22:31 > 0:22:34which I will hand over to Thomas.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Thomas, that is a lot of money.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- It's a lot of money. - What are you going to spend it on?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42I'm going to buy something with a bit of quality
0:22:42 > 0:22:45to reflect the quality ladies I've had the pleasure
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- of shopping with today. - How lovely you are.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52While Thomas goes off to look for something with a bit of quality,
0:22:52 > 0:22:56we're going to go and have a look at someplace interesting.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03I've headed across to the Izaak Walton Cottage in Shallowford,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06which was once owned by the author of a book
0:23:06 > 0:23:10that has remained in continuous print for around 300 years.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Izaak Walton's The Compleat Angler
0:23:13 > 0:23:16is said to be the third most reprinted book
0:23:16 > 0:23:18in the English language,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21after the Bible and the Works Of Shakespeare.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24But who was the man behind this ever-popular novel
0:23:24 > 0:23:27that focuses on the pastime of fishing?
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Born of humble beginnings, here in Staffordshire, in 1593,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35little is known of Walton's early years.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38It's thought he received a grammar school education
0:23:38 > 0:23:40and then an apprenticeship,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43but became a successful and wealthy London tradesman,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47who made friends with the poets and nobles of the day.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I'm meeting Jill Fox, who can tell me more.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Jill, it's lovely to be here.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54And this is the book,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59The Compleat Angler, that Izaak Walton was famous for.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03It certainly is. And this particular one is our prized possession.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05I've brought this in specially for you to see
0:24:05 > 0:24:07cos it is a first edition.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11It was published in 1653. Izaak was 60 at the time.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- So, he was an older man.- Yes, yes.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16But why a book on fishing?
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Maybe, during the turbulent times of the 1600s,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24a fishing book was quite a safe book to write.
0:24:24 > 0:24:28There's no need for an actual manual on fishing at that time
0:24:28 > 0:24:31because a very good one was published a few years earlier.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37I think it's more sort of love of the countryside and fishing,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40and Izaak liked to be very quiet,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44and maybe it was that he wanted people to understand that.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49So, as well as being a novel, it had advice for fishermen too.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54It sort of told you a lot about how to catch fish and how to cook it.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Everything was there. - Everything you needed, really.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Do you know what? I feel hooked.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03I think I'm going to have to have a wee look inside myself.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07"There is no life so happy and so pleasant
0:25:07 > 0:25:09"as the life of a well-governed angler,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12"for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business
0:25:12 > 0:25:16"and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots,
0:25:16 > 0:25:18"then we sit on cowslip banks,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22"hear the birds sing and possess ourselves in as much quietness
0:25:22 > 0:25:28"as the silent silver streams which we now see glide so quietly by us."
0:25:29 > 0:25:32You get a feeling that Izaak wanted to paint a picture
0:25:32 > 0:25:36of a better way of living and seeing the world.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40But not only did he write about these higher morals,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43he demonstrated these in his actions.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48And a copy of his will in the cottage gives us some clues.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51What does it tell us about the man, Jill?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I think it tells us he was a kind, generous, decent sort of a man.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59The cottage that we're standing in now was part of Halfhead Farm,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02which he left to the Corporation of Stafford.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05So, how did this help the townspeople?
0:26:05 > 0:26:09Well, the rent from the farm was to be used for apprenticeships
0:26:09 > 0:26:13for two young boys from poor families.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16That was £10 per year for that.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20And then £5 of the rent was to go to a poor man's daughter.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24It seems to me that, not only did Izaak leave a legacy,
0:26:24 > 0:26:29but his book, The Compleat Angler, continues to enthral.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31So, thank you very much, Jill.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34And now it's time to move on down to the auction
0:26:34 > 0:26:39to see if our teams can walk away with a catch of their own.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Today, we're at Trevanion & Dean Auctioneers & Valuers
0:26:51 > 0:26:55- in Shropshire with Christina Trevanion.- Hello.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Christina, it's lovely to be here. - It's a joy to have you.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05- Well, our Red team here have, well, quite a mixed lot of items.- They do.
0:27:05 > 0:27:11- And their first item is this pottery barrel.- Yes.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Tell me what you think of it. - Well, it's useful, isn't it?
0:27:14 > 0:27:18It was obviously made to look like a antique cooper barrel
0:27:18 > 0:27:22but it is particularly modern. But useful for parties, I would say.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Christina, you're being so lovely and positive.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28What's your estimate?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Well, apparently, I'm not allowed to put £1 on it,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35so I've put £10 to £20, in hope.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37- They paid £9.- Oh, there we go.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- They'll be fine.- Hopefully, they'll at least make their money back.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Yes, let's hope so.- If not, a couple of pounds.- Let's hope so.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Their second item - now, this is a lovely thing.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Child's tricycle or velocipede.
0:27:52 > 0:27:57It would be lovely if this was a Steiff horse but you,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01as in the auctioneer, will have had time to do the research on it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Yeah, you're absolutely right.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05It is so important that when things come into us,
0:28:05 > 0:28:07we do thoroughly research them and go into them.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Steiff certainly did a version of this.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14So, as much as I would love it to be Steiff, sadly, it's not.
0:28:14 > 0:28:15- Steiff style.- Estimate?
0:28:15 > 0:28:19I put £40 to £60 on it because I just think it's so much fun.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I love it, Steiff or no Steiff.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Well, they paid £95 for it.- Ooh.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It would be nice to think that it would go there
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- and quite possibly might have a chance.- I would hope so, yes.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- Their third item is this little oval box.- Mm-hmm.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- We see a lot these reproduction ones.- Yeah.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- But this one is a period one.- Mm. - What's your estimate?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I've said £30 to £50.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47It's a good silver sale, so there will be a lot of silver buyers here.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- Well, they paid £90.- Ooh, wow! - So they really pushed the boat out.
0:28:51 > 0:28:56- Yeah, clearly, yeah.- So, it may be that they will need their bonus buy.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59- Mm, they might do, yeah. - So, let's go and have a look at it.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Well, you guys spent £194. Not too bad at all.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08You gave John £106.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10John, what did you buy?
0:29:10 > 0:29:16- Well, I bought this lovely silver novelty money clip.- Wow!
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- Modelled as a tennis racquet. - That's lovely. I love silver.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- That really looks nice and elegant. - And how about your oppo here?
0:29:23 > 0:29:28- How about your doubles partner? - I think that's a bit...miserable.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- Is it silver? - It's a slightly lower grade.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33It's 800-grade silver, so it's continental silver.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Continental silver. - So, it's imported?- It's imported.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- How much did you pay for it? - I paid £45 for it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41And how much do you think it'll fetch at auction?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Well, again, this, for me, is a good internet lot.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46It's novel, it's a money clip.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I think we should get excess of £50 for it.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Oh, fantastic! That's really good.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- Is that wishful thinking?- Yes.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55THEY LAUGH
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Now, Alan, you love it.- Yes.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Colin's a bit more sceptical about that.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- I certainly am.- Well, you'll have to discuss it between yourselves.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10You don't need to make a decision just now.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12But right now, we're going to find out
0:30:12 > 0:30:15what the auctioneer thinks of John's money clip.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18- Do you like it, Christina?- I do.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think it's a great little novelty item.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23It is a slightly lower grade of silver but, nonetheless,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26what a bit of fun. That's the kind of present
0:30:26 > 0:30:27you'd give to somebody who's got everything.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Perfect Christmas present, perfect birthday present.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- Christina, your estimate, please. - £25 to £35 at auction.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Well, John paid £45.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Well, we'll have to get a rally going in the bidding, won't we?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Do you think we might get there? - Well, let's hope so.
0:30:42 > 0:30:46- Now, let's have a look at the Blues. - OK.- Josie and Nicole.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51Their first item, went straight to it, was this deckchair.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53It's brilliant, isn't it?
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Not quite sure whether there'll be a huge amount of interest in it,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59in landlocked Shropshire, but we'll see. No, they're great.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02In all seriousness, it's just great, isn't it?
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Easy to store, easy to fold away
0:31:03 > 0:31:06and a bit of vintage loveliness in your garden.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- Who couldn't fail to want it?- You couldn't fail. What's your estimate?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I've said £15 to £20. We have sold them before.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Nice sweet things, but not hugely valuable.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- Well, they did very well by buying it for £10.- Really?!
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Yes.- Well done, them. That's great.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27- Their second item is this Polynesian axe.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Tourist item, perhaps?- Yeah, I think you're absolutely right.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35But it's a nice thing. It doesn't have a huge amount of age to it.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Yeah. What's your estimate?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41We have said £15 to £20, as a sort decorative, tribal-looking piece.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Yeah, they paid £10 for it. - Brilliant. Happy days.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Now, what about these three pieces of silver, Christina?
0:31:48 > 0:31:52- Mm.- George V silver.- Mm-hmm. - Chester hallmark.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Chester is our local assay office and we do have, particularly,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58buyers coming in here, saying, "Do you have any Chester silver?"
0:31:58 > 0:32:01They'll only buy town marks, obviously collecting by town.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03They're in great condition.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06They'd make a great wedding present and they're still useful today.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Yeah. Estimate? - I've said £60 to £100 at auction.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Mm-hmm, well, they paid £85. - That's not bad.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16So, there is a possibility of a profit there.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19That's really good, actually. £85 for three pieces of silver.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- That's very good.- So, it's all looking quite good for the Blues.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Worryingly so, isn't it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27They may not need their bonus buy,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:30 > 0:32:36Now, you spent a canny wee £105.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42And you left Thomas a huge £195.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Thomas, what did you buy?
0:32:44 > 0:32:49Well, girls, I wanted to get you something functional,
0:32:49 > 0:32:52stylish and with some real quality.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- You're joking.- I bought you...
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- Oh, Thomas!- What do you mean, "Oh, Thomas"?
0:32:58 > 0:33:00I've been dreaming that you would have bought
0:33:00 > 0:33:02that apricot prayer chair.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06- I know, I know. But I didn't. - That's rubbish!- It's not rubbish!
0:33:06 > 0:33:11This is made by one of the great London houses.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13It's made by Asprey.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17It's engine-turned, it's in sterling silver, it works,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20it's beautiful, it's highly collectible.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- How much, Thomas? - Well, you gave me £195.- Mm-hmm.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Now, I spent £95 on that. It's the name. It's the name Asprey.
0:33:28 > 0:33:34- Yeah, yeah.- Right.- Beautiful quality.- What's it going to make?
0:33:34 > 0:33:39It could make between £20 and £30 profit with the right people there.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43You're going to have to come to some sort of agreement.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47You don't need to do that just now. Wait till the auction.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50But, in the meantime, let's see what our auctioneer thinks
0:33:50 > 0:33:55about Thomas's little silver Asprey case.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- What do you think? - I think it's gorgeous!
0:34:00 > 0:34:01I think there's a faint mark on there
0:34:01 > 0:34:03which I think is Asprey's and, obviously,
0:34:03 > 0:34:08that name is just synonymous with luxury, beautiful, well-made goods.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- What's your estimate? - I've said £50 to £70.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Thomas has paid £95 for it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14- OK.- Is that too much?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Um, it is a little on the heavy side
0:34:16 > 0:34:19but, at the end of the day, you never know.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Anything can happen.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- Well, that's what auctions are all about.- Exactly.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Are you our auctioneer today? - I am, yes.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Oh, I can't wait to see you on the rostrum.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Blimey, I'm quite nervous now!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44OK, Colin, Alan, how do you feel? How do you guys feel?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Nervous excitement!
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Anticipating.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I'm rooting for you, boys.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54First item is the little stoneware barrel.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56It's not terribly old, but it's decorative.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00Boys, you only paid £9. Here it is.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Put me in, someone. £10 for it. - Come on!- Beautiful for parties.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08- Surely, for £10, somewhere.- Come on. - Come on! Come on, somebody!
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Are you sure?
0:35:10 > 0:35:11At £10. 5 then.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13£5. Put me in, someone, at £5.
0:35:13 > 0:35:155, she's back! Quite right.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- Come on!- Good, good.- At £5, I have.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I'll take 6. I'll take anything, frankly. I've got 5.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21I'm looking for 6.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- But I'm selling it at £5 only. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:35:25 > 0:35:28- ALL:- Oh!- How did you do that?!
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Sold for £5.- Oh, dear. - So, it's minus 4.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Your second item, it's the child's tricycle, and it's coming up now.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Bid me £30 on him.- Oh, at £30.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- We've got a starting bid.- Ooh! - At 30, I have.
0:35:42 > 0:35:4435 online. 40.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- 50.- 50.- 55.- Keep going!
0:35:47 > 0:35:4960. 65.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53- I'll be selling, online, at 65.- Oh! - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Oh!- Never mind.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00That is minus £30, boys.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03That takes you, after the first two items, to minus £34.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Next item is your lovely little silver box.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- Here it is now, boys, so fingers crossed.- Oh, fingers crossed.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Look at those really rather sweet cherubs there. Bid me 30.
0:36:14 > 0:36:1730 I have online. I'm looking for 5 now.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19At 35, I have. 35 online now.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22At £35. 40 with you, sir, thank you.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25At £40 in the room. At 40. 45.
0:36:25 > 0:36:2750, sir? 50. 5?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29- We're getting there.- 55. And 60.
0:36:29 > 0:36:3165. 70, sir?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34£65, with you then, sir.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- At £65, seated in the comfy chair. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- Oh!- Oh, £65, boys.- Here we go!
0:36:41 > 0:36:46That's minus £25. That takes your overall score
0:36:46 > 0:36:49to minus 59. You've got to make up your mind
0:36:49 > 0:36:52whether you're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57John paid £45 for that lovely little silver money clip.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59Do you want to go with the bonus buy,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01cos you weren't too sure before?
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I think it's a superb item and I liked it the moment I saw it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- And I'm all far going for it. - Being as you've changed your mind
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- and want to go for it, yeah, we'll go for it!- Go for it.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Bid me... What's it worth? £20 for it? £20. Surely at £20.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Come on, come on!- Let's let the market dictate. Where's 20?
0:37:20 > 0:37:2320 is bid. Thank you. On the front row at £20.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- You're all done at 20. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- Oh!- Oh! Well, sold at £20,
0:37:28 > 0:37:31so that's minus 25.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35And that takes you to a minus £84.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38The only thing is, boys, remember,
0:37:38 > 0:37:42- don't say a word to the Blues. - Not a word!
0:37:48 > 0:37:53- Josie, Nicole, well, here we are at the auction.- Mm.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- How are you feeling?- Nervous.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59- Are you nervous?- I'm nervous, yes. - What about you?- No.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- No?- She's not, no. - She's a cool character.- Yes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:08- Your first item is the vintage folding deckchair.- I love it!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10I love it as well, Nicole.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- But you only paid £10 for it. - I know.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Well, it's your first item and it's coming up now.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20A vintage folding deckchair with a striped seat. Bid me £10.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24- Where's 10? At £10.- THOMAS:- Surely.
0:38:24 > 0:38:295 then. Bid me 5. Ooh, 8. You've got competition.
0:38:29 > 0:38:3110, Vanessa? It's 8 here, with this lady.
0:38:31 > 0:38:3410 I have now. At £10, with the lady in black.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- THOMAS:- Go 12!- AUCTIONEER:- Bid me 12. At £10 I have.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Looking for 12 now. At £10, if you're all done.
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Thank you, milady. At £10. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Oh, there you are, there you are. £10.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50You had a lot of fun buying it and you haven't made a loss.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55The next lot - again, a lot that was bought fairly cheaply -
0:38:55 > 0:38:58is this Polynesian axe.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- I didn't like it, Thomas, very much. - Didn't you?
0:39:01 > 0:39:04- No, no.- She wasn't impressed. - I thought it was ugly.
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Bid me 10 for it.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07At £10 only. Where's 10?
0:39:07 > 0:39:10At £10 for this tool. At £10 only. 5 then.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- Come on.- THOMAS:- 5?! - AUCTIONEER:- Give me 5, somebody.
0:39:12 > 0:39:165, I have at the back, thank you. At £5 only. At £5.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Looking for 10 now. At 5.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20- Are we all done at 5? - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:39:20 > 0:39:22- Ooh.- £5.- Oh, Thomas!
0:39:22 > 0:39:26- I know, I know, I know. - £5. That made £5.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29You paid £10, so there's a £5 loss on that.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34But your first two items, it takes us to still minus 5,
0:39:34 > 0:39:36which is not too bad a score.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41Let's hope that your silver can take you into profit, girls.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Coming up now.
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Lot 314 is the George V silver condiments set.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Bid me £50 for it, please.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50At £50. 40 then.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- No!- Come on, come on.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57At 40. 40, I have. Internet bidder at £40. You should be all over this.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- 45 in the room. Bid me 50. - THOMAS:- Oh, come on!
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- AUCTIONEER:- At 45. Against you at £45.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03- THOMAS:- This is a nightmare!
0:40:03 > 0:40:06At £50. Looking for 5 now. 55 is bid online.
0:40:06 > 0:40:0960 is bid. At £60 then, if we're all done.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- Selling online at £60. - SHE BANGS GAVEL
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Oh, £60, girls. I think you were a wee bit unlucky there.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21So, that's minus £25 on that lot.
0:40:21 > 0:40:26It takes your overall score to minus £30. That's not a lot of money.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's too much.
0:40:28 > 0:40:34You could be rescued by Thomas's Asprey engine-turned box.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40- Are you going to take the bonus buy? He paid £95.- We should go with it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Really?- Because we've lost, lost, lost.- Good luck, girls.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49It's a quality item, and it's about to be sold now.
