0:00:04 > 0:00:07Today, Bargain Hunt has pulled up in Peterborough.
0:00:09 > 0:00:14Now, behind the scenes it takes a big team to put this show together.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16It's time for a roll call.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Three runners.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20One researcher.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24One coordinator.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Three directors.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27The camera and sound crew.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Not forgetting four contestants.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Two experts.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Oh, and one presenter.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36That's me. Right, gang.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39All present and correct, so let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Well, our two teams have got a lot of ground to cover today.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14There are so many stalls and this fair is ginormous.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16So, no time to dilly-dally.
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Let's see what's coming up.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22The Reds shimmy and shake their way to a deal.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Maybe go and ask for a bit of discount.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26- Absolutely.- Good luck.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30The Blues swap flowers for umbrellas.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32I mean, you could put umbrellas in that.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Oh, no!- No?- Oh, my God. No.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Don't sound happy with that. - They're actually pieces of art.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41'The Reds are all loved up at the auction.'
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- Either way...- We love you, Charlie, you know that.- Thank you, Lana.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46'And it's all or nothing for the Blues.'
0:01:46 > 0:01:48What have you got to lose?
0:01:50 > 0:01:52But all that is coming up later.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54So let's meet today's teams.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58For the Reds we've got Lana and Richard, and for the Blues
0:01:58 > 0:01:59we've got Rick and Ivan.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- Hello! ALL:- Hello.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Hello. So, Richard, tell me, how did you, you lovely couple meet?
0:02:05 > 0:02:09Well, we met on a yoga retreat in Goa
0:02:09 > 0:02:11about a year ago
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and it turned out that we actually lived in the same city.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Not only that, but we lived about a mile away from each other.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- No!- Yeah, so...
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- Well, that's fate, isn't it? - Yes, could be...- It is fate.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25So what do you do in your spare time?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Do a little bit of gardening, do some cycling.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31I'm a sort of an amateur artist, as well.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I like to go to art class and pretend to be an artist for a day.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Excellent. So, Lana, what do you do for a living?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I'm a social programme manager.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43I work for an international language school in Oxford and I look after
0:02:43 > 0:02:45students who come to Oxford to improve their English.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48And I organise a lot of exciting activities for them.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Such as?
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Erm... Skydiving?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Skydiving?!- Yeah.- I'm sure skydiving can be fun to some people.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57But, I mean, you've done it yourself...
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Yeah, I've done it myself. It's really good fun.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01I'd like to do it again.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05And when it comes to your spare time, what do you do with it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:09I like walking, I like kayaking, I like Morris dancing.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11All things sporty.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13And Morris dancing, it's very British.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I mean...- It is, isn't it? - I mean you're originally from...
0:03:16 > 0:03:18the Ukraine, yes?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20So do you have Morris dancing in the Ukraine?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I don't think we do. We have some traditional Ukrainian dancing,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25but Morris dancing is so much fun.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28You meet amazing people, it keeps you fit and absolutely love it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31It's one of the best things I've done in England.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Excellent. So how do you think you're going to get on today and
0:03:34 > 0:03:35what is going to be your tactics?
0:03:35 > 0:03:40I think we should be looking to try and identify collectable items,
0:03:40 > 0:03:45something that nobody else really has picked up on
0:03:45 > 0:03:48and maybe something local to the area would be good.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50But you've got other ideas, haven't you?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54I just find something quirky, haggle to death, sell it at a profit,
0:03:54 > 0:03:56retire with the profits.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Oh... Simple as that, eh?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Easy.- Easy-peasy.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, good luck, Reds. But turning my attention to the Blue team...
0:04:04 > 0:04:07So, Ivan, tell me how you and Rick met.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11We met 20 years ago in a bar in Amsterdam.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16And we've been travelling ever since. Here, there and everywhere.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- And... - We tend to forget some flights.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22We have missed the occasional flight.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25- How many flights have you missed? - We've missed three.- Three?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28- Yeah.- Now that must be a little bit embarrassing for somebody like
0:04:28 > 0:04:33yourself, bearing in mind where you work and what you do for a living.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Yes, I do work at an airport.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37- Yes?- Yes.- So you should know better, shouldn't you?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39I should know better, yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43I feel that it's more Rick's fault that we've missed the flight.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Oh, right. OK.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I'm not always that accurate with the times that are on the tickets, so...
0:04:49 > 0:04:52OK. Well, we're looking for solidarity here.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And Rick, you do something completely different, don't you?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Yeah, I'm a primary school teacher.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- But originally you hail from Holland.- I am from the Netherlands.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- Yeah.- Where I used to be head of a primary school.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05And when I came to this country,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08I thought I would never go back into teaching,
0:05:08 > 0:05:09but after two years being here,
0:05:09 > 0:05:13it started itching and I'm back to teaching and still doing it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16And you've got a passion for antiques that goes back to your,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- almost your childhood.- Yeah, I absolutely love antiques.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21And I've been very lucky,
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I've been handed down some great cabinets through the family,
0:05:25 > 0:05:27and I'm a fifth generation now looking after them,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30so I can hand them over to the sixth generation.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Fantastic. So, how are you going to work today when it comes to buying?
0:05:33 > 0:05:35What are your tactics?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Well... Spend big.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Yeah, we're willing to spend most of it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Big profit.- We leave some for our expert,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44but if we see something that's really great, then we're, yeah,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46prepared to spend a lot of money.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50OK. Well, that brings me very nicely to the issue of money.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54So this is where I dish the dosh.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57£300 to the Reds.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59And £300 to you Blues.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Spend it wisely and off you go to meet your experts.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Thank you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09I think spending money is going to be second nature to both our teams today.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16And of course, our competing couples need some competitive companions.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18For the Reds, who you gonna call?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20It's Charles Hanson.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25And wheeling and dealing with the Blues, it's Tim Weeks.
0:06:25 > 0:06:30- What kind of things are you after today?- Well, ideally I'd like to
0:06:30 > 0:06:34find a bronze cockerel embellished with precious stones!
0:06:34 > 0:06:35That's very precise.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39- What have we got our eyes on today? - Well, I'm going to be looking out for something retro.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- I want something that's funky, got some colour in it...- Nice.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- Richard?- I'm going for some vintage toys of some sort.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Glassware. Silver enamel pillboxes...
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- OK.- Perhaps some travel art. - Oh, wow.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56OK, teams. Let's get things rolling.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Your time starts now.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Follow me. Come on.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- We've got to get on with it. Let's go shopping.- OK.- OK.- Come on.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09That's a pair of substantial shopping lists, but remember,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11that hour flies by. Good luck.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Has anyone seen my cockerel?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Whilst Lana is looking for a specific item, what about the Blues?
0:07:18 > 0:07:19I quite like that rack there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I think that's awful.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- I hate it.- Oh, some difference of opinion with these boys.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28This could be an interesting shop.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Let's go over here. - What have the Reds spotted?
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Well, I used to live in Japan and this is quite oriental,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Japanese-looking thing.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It's what you'd call a garden seat, really.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41If it was painted, I would love it,
0:07:41 > 0:07:43because it would be a work of art,
0:07:43 > 0:07:48but in fact, Richard, it's transferred print.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- OK, OK.- So actually, it's not very old.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It may be as old as you are.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Uh-oh! Guessing a lady's age. Dodgy ground, Charles.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Maybe it's about 25 years old.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Oh, I'm 19 so...!
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Very, very nice. But I would say you want to try and buy the real McCoy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- OK.- OK.- Come on.- Fair enough.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Panic not, still plenty of time, guys.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- Anything you fancy?- Those tins over there, they're quite cool.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Bread bin, the flour bin? The enamel ones?- Yeah.- Go and have a look.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- They're huge.- Yeah, you'd get a few loafs in there, wouldn't you?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25So, what's the price on those?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28£35.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31OK. If you're interested, we'd need to do a little bit on that
0:08:31 > 0:08:33if you want to make some profit off it.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Do you know what's interesting about that one is the colour,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- the green enamel's always popular compared to the white.- Yeah.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40They're a bit harder to find, the green ones.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41£35?
0:08:41 > 0:08:43If we get it to 30?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45- 25?- I'd want it less than that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- Less...- I mean, in an auction room I'd want them guided at around £20.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- OK.- You're going to have to get the hard negotiation skills out.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- Who's the best negotiator?- Ivan.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Rick.- I think both of you.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Go and ask him.- Excuse me, sir,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01your green bread tin...
0:09:01 > 0:09:03- Yes?- What would be your best price on that one?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- I'd have to look, see what's on it at the moment.- It says £35.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I think that can be £30.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Do you think it could be around 20?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19It's less than I paid for it, so it couldn't be that low.
0:09:20 > 0:09:2125, perhaps?
0:09:22 > 0:09:25You're not treating me very generously, are you?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29A fiver? Well, I'll split the difference, do 28.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32OK, so what are you thinking? Remember, it's early in the day.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34£28, you can't go wrong.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You happy? Go with the gut then. If you want it, let's do it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- Let's shake hands. £28. Thank you. - Number one in the bag.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's a big moment. The next two are going to be easy,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- well done.- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Shall we crack on?
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- Brilliant, well done, guys. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Nice work, chaps. Ten minutes in and the first item purchased.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58The, Reds, however, are hot on your heels.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00There's some lovely early pottery in here.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03How about this clog?
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Now, why has that appealed to you?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- It looks a bit quirky, doesn't it? - It's quite garish, isn't it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- Yes.- I suppose in many respects you could have it on your dressing table.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14It could be a little planter.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Yes. Cheap. Feel it.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21This is lovely, because this is the actual kiln marks,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25and it probably dates to around 1900.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Is it marked at all, Lana? Can you see a name on there?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30That's true, yes. It doesn't look like it, does it.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Think about it. I like it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36But remember, team, will it make a profit once it's resold at action?
0:10:36 > 0:10:39And what about... it's not quite a cockerel.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Oh, crikey. It's cockerel talk.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44She's persistent, Charles, I'll give her that.
0:10:44 > 0:10:48It's green and it's pretty, and it's a parrot.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50It's a parrot. It is a parrot.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Oh, no, it's a bit damaged.- Can that qualify as a cockerel, though?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- No, it can't. It's awful, isn't it? - Put it back.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00We've seen your nice, green glazed shoe.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05- Yes.- We've just admired your parrot, are they worthy of a second handle,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07to talk to the stallholder and ask on price?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Yes, I'll ask the price for the clog, yes.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- For the clog.- The clog, I like the clog.- How much was it?- 22.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18- Yeah.- It isn't a lot of money really, and it could be a fairly safe buy.
0:11:18 > 0:11:1915 quid will do it for me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Yeah, why don't you and your wonderful alluring Ukrainian accent,
0:11:24 > 0:11:28with love from Ukraine, maybe go and ask for a bit of discount.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Absolutely.- Good luck, go on. - Let's go.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Good luck, Lana, although I don't think she'll need it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37Let's check in with the Blues.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Let's just have a quick look at this lamp over here.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Yeah, OK. The price is my fear straight away.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Yeah.- I think it's one that before we fall in love with it too much,
0:11:45 > 0:11:48we might just want to get an idea of price.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- OK.- Try and find him.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- Hello.- Hi. We're just interested in the lamp.
0:11:54 > 0:11:59The yellow one is a 1930s airport landing light.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02'I guess you see plenty of these at work, then, Ivan.'
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Hit us with the price on that one.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- 270.- What do you think, guys?
0:12:08 > 0:12:09You've spotted quality.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12We've spotted quality, but it's a bit out of our price range.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- This is your time, this one. - Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I'll always listen to an offer.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Let's have a good look at it. Can we have...please?- Certainly.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23What are you thinking?
0:12:23 > 0:12:28Well, I wanted to make sure it's not broken, for that sort of money.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31It's a dangerous thing to take to auction when you're spending that
0:12:31 > 0:12:33sort of figure, because we're trying to make a profit.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Exactly.- Yeah. - It's not a piece of tat.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37No, no, no.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41It is something that would look fantastic, in the right environment.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44'Like an airport, you mean, Ivan?'
0:12:44 > 0:12:47We have to buy another item and there needs to be some money left
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- for Tim.- But we're only going to leave Tim a pound, aren't we?
0:12:50 > 0:12:51Yeah, that's all we need.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Do you want do the negotiations on it?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- No!- 'Nice try, Ivan.'
0:12:57 > 0:12:59This is your one. Go and have a quiet word with him.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01OK.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Whilst Ivan has a word with the stallholder,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06let's see how the Reds are getting on with that ceramic clog.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11So I've just spoken to the lovely gentleman and he agreed to sell it for £15.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14So you have acquired a £7 discount.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17That's very good. Is it a goer, Richard, at £15?
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- I do like it.- Richard like it, let's go for it.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Let's do it.- All right.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- Come on, then, let's go and buy it. - Yay! Ta-da!
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Nice one, Reds, that's your first item in the bag.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29You're coming up to halfway in to your shop.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31No time to hot-foot it, on to your next.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36The asking price for the landing light was £270,
0:13:36 > 0:13:38how did the negotiations go, Ivan?
0:13:38 > 0:13:42Well, the best he's going to do it for is £200.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Do you think there is any profit in that?- I'd be worried.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48I'd want that estimated at 80-120 at an auction house,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51so if we're still running around and we're struggling,
0:13:51 > 0:13:54we can always come back if we've got money left, and try it again,
0:13:54 > 0:13:55- I think it'll still be there.- OK.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Good advice, Tim. Certainly something to think about.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Let's leave the teams shopping, as I show you an item which is really close to my heart.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Well, everybody knows that I love pots,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19and this is a pot for which I've got a great affection.
0:14:19 > 0:14:24I have an affinity also, in so far as that I'm a Lancastrian,
0:14:24 > 0:14:28and my pot is a Lancastrian, because this was made by Pilkingtons,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32which was located near a place called Swinton Junction,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35in between Bolton and Manchester.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37The story starts all in the 1880s,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41when a local coal company was sinking mineshafts,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44and they came across a layer of clay,
0:14:44 > 0:14:46so they sent samples off.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50The results came back, saying it was ideal for tile making,
0:14:50 > 0:14:54so rather than build a coal mine, they built a tile factory.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58And I can tell you now, in later years, Pilkington tiles adorned
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the bathrooms of the Titanic, no less.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Let's have a look at the actual design,
0:15:04 > 0:15:09because it harks back to sort of medieval England,
0:15:09 > 0:15:13in so far as you've got these wonderful passant lions,
0:15:13 > 0:15:17and then the underside here is composed of little roses -
0:15:17 > 0:15:20those are Lancastrian roses -
0:15:20 > 0:15:23interspaced with heart motifs.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25So if we turn it upside down,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29the artist responsible for painting this pot, his initials are there.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33WSM - William Salter Mycock.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36He stayed with Pilkingtons for the best part
0:15:36 > 0:15:38of 30 years or more.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42He was a very loyal servant and a very well-respected artist.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46You've got an X. X stands for ten,
0:15:46 > 0:15:51so I know this pot was painted in 1910.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Doesn't get much better than that, does it, really?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I can tell you now that I was lucky because I bought this pot for £20.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59You may be wondering why so cheap?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Well, because it did have quite a bit of damage,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07which I have actually gone and done a repair on myself.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10If this piece had been in perfect condition,
0:16:10 > 0:16:15I would have had to pay at least £800-1,000 for it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17So, what is it worth today?
0:16:17 > 0:16:19If it was to turn up in an auction,
0:16:19 > 0:16:26it would probably carry a pre-sale estimate of £200-300,
0:16:26 > 0:16:30but I can tell you now that this owner is not for selling.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41Back to the shop, 20 minutes remaining and it's one item apiece.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44Team, shall we go this way or that way?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- Just want to have a quick look up here.- I'll follow you.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Focus, Reds.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51'Lana, what were you looking for again?'
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- I'm looking for a cockerel. - A cockerel!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- 'Oh, yes, that was it.'- I honestly haven't seen a cockerel yet, Lana.
0:16:57 > 0:16:58I cannot see...
0:16:58 > 0:17:02While the Reds try and find a cockerel, the Blues go inside.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07A bit of porcelain, men after my own heart.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Is there any that take your fancy in particular?
0:17:10 > 0:17:14I do really like the orangey-red one with the flowers on.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Some West German fat lava, I believe. Ticket price £70.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Why that one? - I think it's very '70s.
0:17:21 > 0:17:22- Good design.- Yes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Vibrant, funky, which is what we were looking for, wasn't it?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Yes.- DEALER: It's a sunflower, have a look.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31And each piece is individual, you never get one piece the same.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34So what would be your very best price on this one?
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Christine, what's our best price on that?
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I'm afraid we couldn't go under 55.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Hold it. Feel how heavy it is.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I mean, you can put umbrellas in that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48- DEALER:- Oh, no! God, no!
0:17:50 > 0:17:52'Oops, maybe not the best idea, Ivan.'
0:17:52 > 0:17:55They are actually pieces of artwork.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58It's a one-off. You won't find a second one.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00You can't knock another £5 off?
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Not really. No.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06If you could get that fiver, it would probably do it, wouldn't it?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08The boss has to make his mind up.
0:18:08 > 0:18:0950's just a nice number, isn't it?
0:18:09 > 0:18:12- It's easy cash. - 50 and we shake hands.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- Come on, 50.- 50, shall we do it?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Let's do it. Are you happy with that?
0:18:16 > 0:18:17- Yeah.- That's nice, isn't it?
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- That's a fantastic buy.- You said you liked decorative art, 20th century.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23- Let's keep looking, shall we?- OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25Some tough negotiating there, fellas.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28However, that's item two for you.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32Meanwhile, the Reds still have only one item to their name.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Time to have a word, I think, Mr Hanson.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37- I truly think with what, 20 minutes to go...- Yeah.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39..we're just stop-starting,
0:18:39 > 0:18:45and I think we've now...put on our big show caps and go indoors,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and try and find some serious stuff.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- Don't you agree?- I do, yeah. - Come on.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Or in other words - focus, team.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56Right, Tim, how are the Blues getting on?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Definitely got different tastes.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01They can't quite agree,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03but they're having fun. I think they should get what they want
0:19:03 > 0:19:05and they're definitely doing that.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Do I think we've got two guaranteed profits so far?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11No. Do I think we're going to buy something later that's going to make
0:19:11 > 0:19:12another slight loss?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Perhaps. But they're going with their gut,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16they're seeing it and they're buying it.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Why listen to me?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22And Reds? You're looking a bit stressed, Charles.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I cannot believe we've only have six minutes left, with £230 to spend,
0:19:26 > 0:19:29and I'm nervous, because at the moment, it's Lana's way.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32I'm hoping Richard might just come into his own now and really take it
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- over the line.- I think we need to just get a move on,
0:19:35 > 0:19:38we need to find something big, bold, maybe expensive.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39Let's spend some of this money.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42It needs to be done quick. We need to get on with it.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I'll do whatever he says. As always.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yeah, yeah, Lana, we believe you.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Now stop monkeying around and start buying.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53OK, Blues, something seems to be on your mind.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- I'm not shaking the lamp off. - Come on, talk to me about it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- If we can get that lamp for 190... - OK.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00So let's see if he's still there.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- Was it up this...?- That way.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- Oh, no!- Is it the next one? - No, it was here.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08- I think it was up here. - I think it's up here.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09Is it up there?
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Well, you track down that lamp, whilst we track down the Reds.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Guys, let's walk down here.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21Right, you have ten minutes to buy two items.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24No pressure. Charles, time to take charge.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29There is some lovely jewellery, and particularly in this cabinet here,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31there's a real celebration of life,
0:20:31 > 0:20:33and this is obviously memorial jewellery.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35What I quite like in here, it's that pendant there.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37- Can you see it?- Yeah.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39That lovely rich ruby eye.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41- Like it?- Yeah. I like it.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- It's a pretty piece. - Absolutely, Richard,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48because if you look at that charming pendant head,
0:20:48 > 0:20:52you've got this beautiful almost three-leaf clover with this really
0:20:52 > 0:20:54beautiful oval ruby.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Are you a diamond girl, Lana, a ruby girl, emerald?
0:20:56 > 0:20:57- Absolutely.- Are you?
0:20:57 > 0:20:59- Sapphire?- Anything.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04So that piece there is late Victorian by its manner,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07so it's almost forever ageless.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Forever ageless, like me.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The big question is, what's your asking price on it?
0:21:13 > 0:21:14- 70.- 70.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- Oh, that's not bad.- Well, you need to come down a little bit,
0:21:18 > 0:21:22because we're trying to make some profit. Would you want us to win?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24The best I can do on it is 60.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Its market auction guide would be between £50 and £80,
0:21:28 > 0:21:30just for the gold content alone.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32I do like it, yes. For the right price, definitely.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36Would you be able to do 55 for it? And I think you might...
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Yes, I can.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39..find that you've got a deal.
0:21:39 > 0:21:40- Shall we go with it?- Yeah.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- Let's do it.- At last, we've bought something and it isn't that cockerel.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Thank goodness for that.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Thank you very much. Right guys, that is two down.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52- One to go.- We have got, literally, six or so minutes.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Come on, team. Thanks a lot.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55Come on, follow me.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Charles is on a charge.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01That's two items each, teams.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Six minutes left on the clock and you're going to have to
0:22:03 > 0:22:05pull something out of the bag soon.
0:22:07 > 0:22:08I don't think it's this one.
0:22:08 > 0:22:09I think it's the other one, the next one.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Oh, no! The Blues are still looking for that lamp.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15There he is, guys. Look.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Ah, good spot, Ivan. Right, time to get that deal sealed.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22- You might need a little bit of luck with this one.- Yes.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Ivan, it's over to you.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- Good afternoon. - Good afternoon again.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- It's late.- It is.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30It's very late. I expect you want to go home?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Oh, no, I'm here tomorrow as well.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34- Oh, right.- Going well, Ivan(!)
0:22:34 > 0:22:37How about...190?
0:22:38 > 0:22:39All right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42Thank you! Thank you.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44- He got it.- Yeah.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49- Three! Yes.- Yes, the magic number. - Three items.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52I'm really scared that you've bought it, but you bought what you wanted.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53You went big today, you said you would.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Three in the bag, let's put our feet up, shall we?
0:22:56 > 0:22:58Let's go and relax. Come on, this way.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01Well, I'm not sure Tim is totally sold on the lamp,
0:23:01 > 0:23:04but sometimes you have to go with your heart, Ivan.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Well done, Blues, that's you done and dusted with two minutes to spare.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11That's right, Reds, I said two minutes!
0:23:11 > 0:23:13The pressure's on.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15How are you, mate? We're desperate.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Have you got anything? - What's your budget?
0:23:17 > 0:23:18We've got quite a big budget.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Oh, you've got a big budget. Four spoons.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Gilded, enamelled.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Team, look, we have literally - dare I say it - about 40 seconds.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32These are good silver, gilded, blue enamel stem spoons.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34They're Danish, they're probably, what, 1960s?
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Yeah.- 20 seconds left.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39- How much?- £20.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40And you will make a profit on that.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43So they are a good set of Danish silver gilded,
0:23:43 > 0:23:46blue enamel inset coffee spoons
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and you're saying £20 for the whole lot.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51- £20. £5 each. - Guys...- Let's do it.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56- £15? £15?- Go on, then.- £15.- Shake his hand.- Come on, let's do it.
0:23:56 > 0:23:57Time's up, teams.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01- That's been the hardest hour in my career.- Oh, my God!
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Let's go and sit down and have a coffee. Black for me, please.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07- And strong.- Let's do it.- Come on.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Let's check out what the Reds bought.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14First up was the 20th century pottery shoe.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Price paid - £15.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Next, after perusing over the pendant, it was purchased for £55.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29And finally, they settled on the set of enamelled spoons for £15.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Charlie, let's be frank, tough call, tough call.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36It was, it was an amazingly exciting hour
0:24:36 > 0:24:39and it was up and down and round and round, but we got there in the end.
0:24:39 > 0:24:40You did get there in the end.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43So, Lana, what's your favourite item?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I really liked the piece of golden jewellery that we bought,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48with the ruby inside. I think it's really pretty
0:24:48 > 0:24:49and I think we got a really good price on it.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And so do you think that might be giving you the biggest profit,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56- or is that something else? - I think so, I think the jewellery will make the biggest profit.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58So, Richard, favourite object?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00I like the green boot.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04It got a really good feel to it and the colour was vibrant, and that was my favourite,
0:25:04 > 0:25:09but I think maybe the one that would give us the most profit, possibly,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11are the spoons, I would say.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14The spoons? Interesting. So how much did you spend?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We spent £85.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20OK, so that means that somebody is going to give me...
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I have £215 to give to you.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25That's the amount that I was looking for.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28It's with me for a brief moment in time.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30It goes to Mr Hanson there for the bonus buy.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Yes, exactly, if ever the escape is on, this is it,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36and I intend to blow the whole lot and really do a good job.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Excellent. Good luck.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41But, meanwhile, let's find out what the Blue team have bought.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45Their first item was the enamel bread bin.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Price paid - £28.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Next was the German fat lava vase.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54They paid £50.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58And, finally, an airport light.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00But will it land them a profit at auction?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03They settled on £190.
0:26:03 > 0:26:04So, Tim, how was it for you?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06It was great. Scary, at times,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08because they spent a lot of money today.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10- Yeah.- But they really went out for it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14They said they were going to spend big and it's exactly what they did, so good for them.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17You did, I mean, all that money on the lamp, you know?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Yeah.- But you liked it, you wanted it?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yeah, definitely, yeah.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23So, Ivan, what's your favourite buy?
0:26:23 > 0:26:24It's definitely the lamp,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27because I was the one that was the most passionate about the lamp,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30but I really think that's going to bring us in the biggest profit.
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- OK.- Yep.- Now, Rick, what do you think is the best buy?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37The German vase.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39The German vase, OK. Oh, right,
0:26:39 > 0:26:42and what do you think is going to give you the biggest profit?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Probably the bread tin.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Probably the bread tin! OK.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49So what was your total spend?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51£268.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55£268, so how much are you going to give me back?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- £32.- £32.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- There we are.- It's not a lot for the bonus buy,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04but I'm sure you can make that go a long way, Tim.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- I'm going to try.- Have you got your eye on anything?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10Well, not as yet, but I'm going to try and get something at least we're
0:27:10 > 0:27:12going to agree on and both like, that's my challenge.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14That's a big challenge.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17Well, while Tim goes off for the bonus buy,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20we are going off to the auction.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well, we're now in Lincolnshire
0:27:29 > 0:27:32and we've come up to the brand-new saleroom
0:27:32 > 0:27:34of Golding, Young & Mawer,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37and I'm joined by Kirsty Young today.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Thank you very much for coming.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Well, we're delighted to be here, Kirsty.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Let's start with our Red team.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44The first item we're going to talk about
0:27:44 > 0:27:47is the 20th century pottery shoe.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- What are your thoughts?- They are sort of mass-produced for the mass
0:27:50 > 0:27:52market, so you do see quite a few of them about.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55We've put an auction estimate of £10 to £20 on it.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57That's good, they paid £15 for it.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01This is Richard's favourite, so he thinks that it's going to do well.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06The second item is the mid-Victorian mourning pendant.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08It looks very chic, doesn't it?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12It does. Very pretty piece, one of my favourite subjects, jewellery.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16The mourning pendant on the back of it, you can tell the age from that,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18the way that the wear's on there
0:28:18 > 0:28:20from, obviously, the user wearing it.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23We've put an auction estimate of £60 to £80 on it.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It's very popular at the moment, mourning jewellery,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28so that should be its achievement.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Well, it's looking good for these two, because they paid £55,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34so a profit beckons there.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- Absolutely.- And the third item, very stylish, aren't they?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Those four Scandinavian part-enamel spoons.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Now, Richard thinks that this is going to give them the biggest profit.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- What do you think?- The Scandinavian market is a popular one at the moment,
0:28:47 > 0:28:51so I would say £25 to £40 is the best bet for them.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54It's all looking good for this couple, because they spent £15,
0:28:54 > 0:28:58so whether they're going to need their bonus buy, well,
0:28:58 > 0:29:00we're going to have to wait and see, but in the meantime,
0:29:00 > 0:29:02let's go and have a look at what it is.
0:29:03 > 0:29:10Well, Reds, you left Charles a staggering £215 to go and play with,
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- and play with it you did, Charlie. - Yeah, I did, and sometimes, Eric,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16you've got to just go for the unusual,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- so I found this.- Oh, my goodness!
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Look at that, Richard. Richard, just look at this object.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26It's a real work of art, and what's lovely is it's dated,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28there, look, 1776,
0:29:28 > 0:29:31and we're talking 13 years before the French revolution.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34If it could talk, what could it tell us?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35Well, essentially, it's a mangle.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- How much did you pay for it? - Just feel it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40- For this piece of joy? - THEY LAUGH
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Just feel the tactile qualities.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Richard, do you like it? - Yeah, I mean, it's interesting, that's for sure,
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- with all this decorative...- Yes. - How much did you pay for it again?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- Well, just feel the history... - Charlie, Charlie, Charlie, just get to the point,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55tell the lady how much you paid for it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Do you like it, Eric?- I like it, but that's beside the point,
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- how much did you pay for it? - It cost...
0:30:02 > 0:30:04It's all about speculating to really accumulate...
0:30:04 > 0:30:05How much? How much?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07£215. 215.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- £215?!- Yes, yes. - Let me have another feel of this.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13- Wow.- And don't wallop me on the head with it!
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Give it back to Charlie and get our money back!
0:30:15 > 0:30:16THEY LAUGH
0:30:16 > 0:30:20It's something which, again, could make £100, who knows?
0:30:20 > 0:30:21It could make £400.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23OK, well, remember, you two,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26you don't have to make that decision until your first three items have
0:30:26 > 0:30:28been sold, but meanwhile,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32let's go and find out what our auctioneer has to say about
0:30:32 > 0:30:34Charles's historic bonus buy.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40So here it is, there can't be many to the square mile in Lincolnshire,
0:30:40 > 0:30:41but one mangle board.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44We have erred on the side of caution with it,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46because they do make a lot of copies of these,
0:30:46 > 0:30:49so they're not always what they seem.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51No, sometimes they can be earlier,
0:30:51 > 0:30:55but then, somebody puts the date on at a later date, don't they?
0:30:55 > 0:30:56- That's it, yes.- Yeah.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00But it does look to be of the period, there's plenty of wear there,
0:31:00 > 0:31:02there is a bit of woodworm, as you'd expect,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06so I'd say £80 to £120 and they should be good with that.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10OK. £215 was spent on that item.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12If they do go for it, it's in the balance, isn't it?
0:31:12 > 0:31:15That's it, it is in the balance, but there may well be somebody out there
0:31:15 > 0:31:17wanting to take the risk on it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20So, that's the Reds, now for the Blues.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24And the first item is the mid-20th century enamel bread bin.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28I can tell you this is the one that Rick thinks is going to give them
0:31:28 > 0:31:31the biggest profit, but what do you think, Kirsty?
0:31:31 > 0:31:33It's a nice 20th century one there.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Obviously, it still has a purpose, people still use bread bins.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It is a nice example of that one.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41We've given it an auction estimate of £20 to £30,
0:31:41 > 0:31:43which I think is definitely doable for them.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47OK, well, they paid £28 for it, so that could be a goer.
0:31:47 > 0:31:53Item number two is the West German fat lava vase.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56It's big, it's bright and it's reasonable, isn't it?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58It is reasonable. Obviously,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00the fat lava is the phrase that everybody looks for,
0:32:00 > 0:32:04so we've given it an auction estimate of £10 to £30,
0:32:04 > 0:32:05so that should achieve that.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09OK, well, they paid £50 for it,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11but you do get a lot of vase for your money, don't you?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- You do, yeah, and it is a large example, so there may well be. - It is.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19So item number three is our metal-cased aeroplane light
0:32:19 > 0:32:24and "industrial brutal" is the usual heading.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Big business in this part of the world?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27Still popular, obviously it is a mismatch,
0:32:27 > 0:32:30the base is most likely a surveyor's tripod
0:32:30 > 0:32:33and they've added the later light on top.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Well, it's got a certain amount of decorative appeal, hasn't it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- It has.- But you wouldn't want it in the corner of your house, would you?
0:32:40 > 0:32:42I'm not sure actually, I think I probably would.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Oh, my goodness me! I forget how young you are and how old I am!
0:32:46 > 0:32:49So, auction estimate-wise, we have given it £40 to £60,
0:32:49 > 0:32:53but I wouldn't be surprised if it did just a little bit better than that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54But it's going to have to work very, very hard,
0:32:54 > 0:32:58because they paid £190 for it,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00so they could take it on the chin with that one, couldn't they?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02They could. There might be a little loss on there,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05but they shouldn't be too far away.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Well, it strikes me that our team may be in need of their bonus buy,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11so let's take a look at it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16So, gentlemen, you left our Tim £32.
0:33:16 > 0:33:22Tim, you said you were going out there to find something that would please both the Blues.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25- Tough challenge.- Yes.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27But I think I've done it. Would you like to see it?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- Yes.- Here we go. What do you think?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Oh, you look underwhelmed.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35THEY LAUGH
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Is it an ashtray?- Well, I would call it a pin dish.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40It reminds me a bit of the vase we bought.
0:33:40 > 0:33:41Yes, yes, very true.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Retro, colourful, funky.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Do people use pins?
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Well, what would you use it for?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Perhaps a pot plant on there, or something?- Or even maybe would you just pop your keys,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53or loose change at the end of the day, just by the door as you go out.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59- Yeah.- No, no, you can't do that to a beautiful pot like that,
0:33:59 > 0:34:00it's to be admired.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Look, that's a lovely piece and it's so period.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- It is. Well, who do you think it's by?- Well, it's probably German, but...
0:34:06 > 0:34:11Well, it's actually British, one of my favourite studios, Poole Pottery.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- Have a feel of it. You will see the condition's great.- Mm-hm.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- Good quality.- It's heavier than I thought.
0:34:16 > 0:34:17How much did you pay for that?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20Well, I paid £15, which I don't think's bad,
0:34:20 > 0:34:22because it's real quality.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24There's a definite chance for a bit of profit in this, no doubt.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27So how much do you think we could make on that then, Tim?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Well, look, it is a small piece, but I think we can maybe make a tenner.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32The thing to remember, gentlemen,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34is the fact that you don't have to make your minds up now,
0:34:34 > 0:34:38but meanwhile, let's find out what our auctioneer has to say about
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Tim's Poole Pottery dish.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46One bonus buy, small but perfectly formed, you might say.
0:34:46 > 0:34:52Absolutely. Nice Poole little pottery pin dish there, nice design.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54I mean, it's got that retro look, hasn't it?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Sort of 1960s, '70s.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58It has, typical of that sort of style.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Studio pottery again, so very popular.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04We've put an auction estimate on it of £20 to £30,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06which I would say it should easily achieve.
0:35:06 > 0:35:11Yeah, good news really, in so far as Tim went out and paid £15 for it,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14so £20 and £30 is very good news.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16So what about the auction, who's taking it?
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- That will be me.- Excellent. Well, in Kirsty we trust.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26170, 180, 190, 200, 220?
0:35:28 > 0:35:32So I need to know, are you regulars at auction houses?
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Er, no, not really, I've been to a few, but generally car auctions actually.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- Oh, right. OK. Lana, what about you? - This is my first time ever,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- so I'm really, really, really excited.- Oh, good! Well, listen,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44we've got your first lot coming up,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47it's the early 20th century pottery shoe, it's coming up now.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49And who will start me at £20?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Come on. It's novelty.- Come on.
0:35:51 > 0:35:5410? £10?
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Five then, surely?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Five we have, and eight anywhere now?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59- Come on.- Eight anywhere now?
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Are we all sure, then? Is it going for five?
0:36:02 > 0:36:04- Gavel's raised.- I don't believe it.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Oh, no.- So you are minus 10
0:36:07 > 0:36:11to start, but anyway, the next item coming up
0:36:11 > 0:36:12is the mid-Victorian pendant.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15Here we go. Good luck, team. The comeback is on.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16And I have got bids on the book
0:36:16 > 0:36:19and we're starting with me at £40.
0:36:19 > 0:36:20OK, come on!
0:36:20 > 0:36:2242, 45, 48,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25bid 50, five, 60, five, 70.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- We're in business!- We're on, we're on.- 80. And five.
0:36:28 > 0:36:3180 is with me, and Five anywhere now?
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- Come on.- Five anywhere now?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Are we all sure then? We're on the selling on the commission bid at 80?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38GAVEL BANGS
0:36:38 > 0:36:40You've just made yourselves £25 of profit.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Takes us to a total of plus £15.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- That's good, we've come back.- OK?
0:36:46 > 0:36:48So next item, the spoons.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Here they come.- The set of Scandinavian spoons there,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54and I have got £30 to start me.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56£30!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- We've doubled up!- 32, 35, 38 now?
0:36:58 > 0:37:02- Here we go. Come on! - At 35 I have, 38 anywhere now?
0:37:02 > 0:37:0435 I have, and 38 is on the net.
0:37:04 > 0:37:05- 40 anywhere now?- Yes!
0:37:05 > 0:37:07At 38 is on the net.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08And 40 anywhere now?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Are we all sure then? Are we resting on the net at 38?
0:37:12 > 0:37:13Good work.
0:37:13 > 0:37:1738, OK, lovely jubbly.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20So, you've just made yourselves there £23,
0:37:20 > 0:37:23you're ahead of the game, all right?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26You now have to make your decision about your bonus buy.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Have you been thinking about it?
0:37:27 > 0:37:29We have been thinking about it.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31- OK. And?- Thinking two minds about it.
0:37:31 > 0:37:36And we love Charlie and we love the item and that's why it's a no.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- It's a no?- It's a no. It's a no. OK, well...
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I can tell you, the auction estimate was 80-120.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Bearing in mind that Charlie paid 215, they may be very right,
0:37:45 > 0:37:48they may be very wrong. We're just about to find out.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52And I have got £50 to start me, Five anywhere now?
0:37:52 > 0:37:56- Come on, let's go.- At 50, it's with me, and 55, bid 60, and five now?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58At 60, I have.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00It's probably the wrong market, that's my excuse.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I think it's probably... Come on!
0:38:02 > 0:38:06We are all out then. We're on the book at 60...
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- 60.- Thankfully I wasn't paying! - Oh, well, I've got to say, Reds,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13quite a canny decision on your part not to go with it,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- but either way...- We still love you, Charlie, you know that.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Thank you, Lana.- The good news is that you're plus £38 ahead of the
0:38:19 > 0:38:21game. That being said,
0:38:21 > 0:38:23do not say another word to the Blues.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37So, Blues, do you have any experience of auctions?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- No. No.- Is there a feeling of excitement here?
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Oh, yes!
0:38:42 > 0:38:44- Yes!- Yeah, it's good for the soul.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48The first item coming up is the mid-20th century bread bin.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- It's coming up now. - Start me at £30 for this one.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53£30? 20?
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Come on, more than that.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5610?
0:38:56 > 0:38:5810, surely, for the kitchenalia.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00£10?
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Five I have at the back.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03And eight bid. And 10?
0:39:03 > 0:39:0410 bid. And 12?
0:39:04 > 0:39:0612 is on the net.
0:39:06 > 0:39:0715 now? No?
0:39:07 > 0:39:0915 is on the net then.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Are we all sure then? Are we selling on the net at 15?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Oh!- Oh, no!
0:39:15 > 0:39:19That is a start of a minus 13, OK.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23We've got your mid-20th century West German fat lava vase.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27- Here it comes.- £15 to start me, 18 anywhere now?
0:39:27 > 0:39:3515, I have. And 18 and 20, 22, 25, 28 now, 30 at the back of the room.
0:39:35 > 0:39:3932, 35, 38, and 40 now, surely?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41And 40, are you sure you don't want to go another one?
0:39:41 > 0:39:43At 38 we have on the net. 40 anywhere now?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Are we all sure? Are we all finished on the internet
0:39:45 > 0:39:48and in the room at 40?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51£40. Well, you paid 50,
0:39:51 > 0:39:53so a minus 10.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Right, so, the next item is your aeroplane light.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59You paid £190 for it, Ivan.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Did you not?- He did.- He did.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04So, let's just wait and see.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Here it is.- Who will start me at £80 for it, surely?
0:40:07 > 0:40:08£80?
0:40:08 > 0:40:1050?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12- What?- 40?
0:40:12 > 0:40:1540, I have at the back of the room. And two anywhere now?
0:40:15 > 0:40:1845. 48. Bid 50?
0:40:18 > 0:40:20And five. Bid 60.
0:40:20 > 0:40:2265. 70 bid.
0:40:22 > 0:40:2575. And 80?
0:40:25 > 0:40:27It's our highest selling item!
0:40:27 > 0:40:2990 bid. 95. 100.
0:40:29 > 0:40:36- Come on.- 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, and 150, 160?
0:40:36 > 0:40:38No. At 150, I have in the front.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40160 anywhere now?
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Are we all sure then? We're in the front at 150.
0:40:45 > 0:40:50- Whoa!- Exciting, though, no? - 150, it deserved better, didn't it?
0:40:50 > 0:40:51It really did.
0:40:51 > 0:40:58Minus £40, which gives us a total of minus £63.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02So, we're now at the decision time when it comes to the bonus buy.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04I don't want to influence you, but what have you got to lose?
0:41:04 > 0:41:06THEY LAUGH
0:41:06 > 0:41:07So, do I take that as a yay?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Yes.- A yay!
0:41:09 > 0:41:11Now, listen, Tim paid £15 for it.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13- Yeah.- The auctioneer said £20 to £30.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- Ah!- So, let's just wait and see.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Here it is.- Who will start me at £30 for this one, surely?
0:41:19 > 0:41:22£30? £20 for the Poole pottery.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23£20?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26£10? At 10 we have. And 12 anywhere now?
0:41:26 > 0:41:2912 bid. 15, 18?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31No, 15 I have at the back of the room then.
0:41:31 > 0:41:3218 anywhere now?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Are we all sure then? Are we selling at the back of the room at 15...?
0:41:36 > 0:41:3815!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40It doesn't make a jot of difference,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43but it does give you a relatively
0:41:43 > 0:41:44respectable minus 63.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- Yeah.- OK, anyway, not a word to the Reds, obviously.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49- Of course not.- And I'll see you boys later.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Well, this is not a game of winners and losers,
0:42:02 > 0:42:04it's a game of winners and runners-up.
0:42:04 > 0:42:09And I have to tell you that today's runners-up are the Blue team!
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- No!- Whoo!
0:42:11 > 0:42:17The Blue team. I'm so sorry, boys, insofar as it was
0:42:17 > 0:42:21a bit of a grim start, I'm afraid, it was minus £63.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22But have you enjoyed yourselves?
0:42:22 > 0:42:25- Yes.- Yeah! It's being here that matters.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27So, Red team, what do we say?
0:42:27 > 0:42:33- Woohoo!- I can tell you, you made yourselves a profit of £38.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I hate to say it, Charlie, but it could've been so different
0:42:35 > 0:42:37if they'd gone with that bonus buy.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39Indeed. I'll say no more.
0:42:39 > 0:42:46OK. So, it gives me great pleasure to present you with £38, OK?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49All right, don't spend it all at once.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51- Whoo!- So, has everybody had a good time?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53- ALL:- Yes.- That's what we need to know.
