0:00:02 > 0:00:05As you all know, we love a fair on Bargain Hunt.
0:00:05 > 0:00:08And guess what? For our teams here in Devon,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10there'll be plenty of ups and downs.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19And as for me, well, every show is like a roller-coaster ride.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Here we go.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23NATASHA LAUGHS
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Whoo!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26Let's go Bargain Hunting! Whoo!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Well, we had lots of fun at the theme park,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55we're going to have even more fun at the fair.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57We've come to Westpoint Arena in Exeter,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00a tried and tested stomping ground for Bargain Hunt.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02So let's have a gander at what's coming up.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05The Reds have fun at first,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08but things take a turn for the worst.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I'll turn this, this shipwreck around.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12THEY LAUGH
0:01:12 > 0:01:14The Blues hope to boogie their way to victory.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16With the rump, with the rump.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Then they show off their moves at the auction.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Gary's got that down particularly, I would say.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23But will the Reds tread on their toes?
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Yes! We're getting closer.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27But that's all coming up later.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29First, it's time to meet our teams
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- and we've got a brilliant mix of family
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and friends today. For the Reds, we've got friends Nathan and Ollie.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38And for the Blues, we've got mother and daughter Janine and Lisa.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Welcome, everyone. Hello! - Hello!- Hello!
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Now I'm going to start with the boys, with the Red team.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Now, Nathan, how did you two meet?
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I signed up for a ski holiday with a university,
0:01:47 > 0:01:50we were placed in a hotel apartment,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52turned out Ollie was also in this hotel room.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54He found out, messaged me immediately,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57"Who are you?" I thought, great first impression, but, yeah,
0:01:57 > 0:02:00he turned out to be a relatively nice person in the end.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- Relatively nice?- All is forgiven.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04How do you like to spend your downtime?
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I'm very sporty, I'm a big Spurs fan and football is my main one,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- but I'll play anything. - Are you sporty, too?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12A little bit, not as sporty as Nathan, I prefer to travel
0:02:12 > 0:02:15and see what's happening up and down the UK,
0:02:15 > 0:02:16or if I've got enough time
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and there's a cheap enough flight going out, I'll jet off.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22So tell us about your travels, anything mad happen?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24On a recent trip to Thailand,
0:02:24 > 0:02:28we decided to rent a boat for the day and snorkel,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29see a bit of the fish.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32We rented this boat for about £80,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35we took it back and it turned out that we'd purchased the boat
0:02:35 > 0:02:36- off this gentleman. - LAUGHTER
0:02:36 > 0:02:39We were happy to just give it to him back,
0:02:39 > 0:02:43and he rewarded us with a nice big bag of many dragon fruits,
0:02:43 > 0:02:44which I must say are delicious.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That is quite a bizarre story.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49Do you think working together as the Red team you'll be quite serious?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Do you have any way that you're going to play this game?- Yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54We're quite dissimilar, despite being friends.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57I have more of a positive outlook on life,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00to Ollie's often pessimism, but I think that'll work well.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02I feel I reign your optimism in, though.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04To a more realistic approach.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08OK, well, that's your story. Let's head over to the Blues.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Yes, hi.- Now, tell me, Janine, I'm going to start off with you.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Now, you moved to South Africa 30 years ago.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Tell us about your life there. What was it like for you?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20The African culture is beautiful, but it was harsh times,
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- the apartheid years was finished. - Mm-hm.- There was Mr Mandela,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28he came in, he was a wonderful president.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29I did meet him on one occasion.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- You didn't?- I did. In a shopping centre...
0:03:33 > 0:03:34- Wow.- A beautiful man.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36He just had a presence about him.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40That's brilliant, but tell me about what you did in South Africa,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44because you didn't just have one set job, you were a jack of all trades?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I became an owner of my own guesthouse.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50And then I designed and ran a bistro.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Sounds like you spent your time in South Africa looking after everyone else.- Yes.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I looked after my four daughters.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00I raised them alone and they grew up to be beautiful young ladies.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04- All four of them.- Lisa, tell me, you're more of a numbers gal.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05So tell me about that.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10I am. I started my career in software, I was a programmer,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14and yes, currently work for a lovely company,
0:04:14 > 0:04:15The Training Partnership.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18We bring out foreign students from Europe.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- They're loving it.- That must be really rewarding?- Yes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23So ladies, tell me about your knowledge of antiques.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Do you have a certain area that you collect or particularly enjoy?
0:04:27 > 0:04:28- We're car booters.- Yes.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Oh, really? You said that like you were confessing it,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33getting it off your chest.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- Forgive me.- We love a good bargain.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Always looking for the missing rent while something...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Aren't we all?- Yes.- Aren't we all?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Listen, no-one will be able to buy anything at the fair
0:04:43 > 0:04:46without any money, so it's £300 each,
0:04:46 > 0:04:51- £300 to the Reds and £300 to the Blues.- Thank you very much.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54So off you go, get out there,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- the stores are waiting for you! Have fun.- Thank you!
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I tell you what, these guys are a bundle of fun.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02So, our Bargain Hunters are raring to go
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- and so are their experts.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Hoping to hit a high note with the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Eight days? You only get an hour at this fair.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Gary Pe is off on his travels with the Blues.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22So what are we looking for today, guys? Ollie?
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- Ideally, a little piece of... - INDISTINCT
0:05:25 > 0:05:27nice period bit of silverware, that would be lovely, I think.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Something African.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32African? Tribal art?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Yes.- Bit of sporting equipment, like some 100-year-old water-skis,
0:05:35 > 0:05:36something crazy like that.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- JANINE:- We're going to look for anything and everything,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42maybe French, maybe silver, maybe weird.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44That's a bit of a tall order, then.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Your 60 minutes start now.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48- Come on. - LISA LAUGHS
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Let's go looking.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54I tell you what, there's plenty of silver here,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56as we can see, and jewellery,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59but I've not seen any sports memorabilia yet.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Give yourself a break, Danny.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03You've only been shopping for a few seconds.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07Although the ladies have quickly spotted a screen they like.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09That is stunning.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13Monkey. Does it remind you a little bit of Africa?
0:06:13 > 0:06:14But of course it's not.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- It's probably...- What kind of material is this?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19It looks like it's a bit of... Look, it's fabric.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Little strands.- Absolutely... - That is beautiful.- It's embroidery.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24What is the price on that?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27When is it from? 19th-century Japanese.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28260.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- 260.- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33That's a lot of money to spend right at the start.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Leaf decoration, I think, is outstanding.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39That's beautiful, it's got a bit of...damage there.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Yeah, it's a bit of damage. You'd expect that, though.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- Yes.- For something this old. - This old.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- It probably dates from the Meiji period.- Yes.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47I think that's gorgeous.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49- Let's do that. - That could make some money.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I think we all like it. Shall you go find the dealer?
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Yes, I think we should. - Go on, then.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Come on, Mum. Half price. Get it for half price,
0:06:59 > 0:07:01we want a bargain today.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Well, that is what this show is all about.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09And while we wait for a price, let's see what the Reds have found.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Your thoughts on this domino one?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well, funnily enough, I was just looking at that domino one.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15That's the one that caught my eye straight away.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17No doubt, if it's catching everybody's eye,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19it's probably got a fair price on it.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20It's a little pillbox, which is...
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Still a bit practical. - It's still quite quirky, yes.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26We'll leave you to have a good look at the pillbox, boys
0:07:26 > 0:07:29- as I'm desperate to hear what the Blues can get the screen for.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32He said it would have to be 200.
0:07:32 > 0:07:37- It would have to be 200?- But I'm a little bit scared of going too high.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's... You're right, it's early on.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- Yes.- I did say we'll come back and discuss it.- OK.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Definitely.- But certainly something that's very serious consideration.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- It's fascinating.- I love it. - That's a contender.- OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- I saw some boxes down that way. - OK. Well, let's go, let's go. - Let's go and have a look.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54So with five minutes gone,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57the Blues have put the screen on the back burner.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Are the Reds going to do a deal on the domino pillbox?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04DEALER: Well, that's an unusual piece. I've got 75 on it.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I can do a good deal on that.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- You do...- I...- I think we'd need a good deal on that one.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- The nice thing is it's different. - It is, it did catch our eye.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15It's a quirky different that people will go for.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17I'm going to say one thing,
0:08:17 > 0:08:21we've just started and straight away, you've gone in and said,
0:08:21 > 0:08:26"I quite like that". My advice at this precise time is to...
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- Taken a note of it, move on. - You've got it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31NATASHA: They're fast learners, Danny.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34But don't browse for too long, as time can quickly disappear.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Back to the Blues and Gary has found out Janine has a thing
0:08:37 > 0:08:39for wooden boxes.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Both of those I think are stunning.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I love boxes.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47You're a woman of very expensive taste, I think.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48- I am indeed. - Do you know what that is?
0:08:48 > 0:08:51- That is bulwark. - That's absolutely stunning.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Wood that's been inlaid with all this brass.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Oh, wow.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- That's original.- Oh!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00What did I tell you? 650.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02But look at that, that is stunning. OK.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05- So as beautiful as this piece is... - As that is...
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- We'll have to pass that one by. - Absolutely.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Oh, sometimes I wish I could give our teams more cash to spend,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14but £300 is all they get.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Now there's a bit of sporting memorabilia for you.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- I like it.- It's all there, innit?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21The wickets, the bails, the ball and even the pads.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Frank Crawford, the first to hit 200 runs in a pre-lunch session.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Excellent. It's got a good history, it's one-of-a-kind.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- Nicely presented.- Everything's there. Do you think that could sell?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34There's no signatures on it.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37We want to see somebody like Ian Botham's name on it,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39you know, so you've got two hits in one, really.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42You've got the kit and you've also got a signature.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Bit heavy on the price tag there, as well.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47175, if we got some off that, do you think it would sell?
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I don't think at auction.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53There's a lot left in it.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54It would leave us a bit stumped.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57- Oh, no!- I like that one. I like that one.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Me too! I'm creasing up here.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Back to the Blues. And Janine is refusing to think outside the box.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- Oh, look at that.- There we are.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Well, with mother of pearl inlaid decoration.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Yes, that is gorgeous.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Or jewellery... - Or jewellery, of course,
0:10:13 > 0:10:16you could pretty much do anything with these things now.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18That is absolutely stunning.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20INDISTINCT SPEECH
0:10:20 > 0:10:23You could make it so many things.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24- Also...- Crafts, anything.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27..with a stunning price of 290.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Yes.- Don't forget, we haven't bought a single thing.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32No, we haven't.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36But hats off to you all, you're having a good look around.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh, Danny?
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Matching? Who pulls it off better?
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Laurel and Hardy.- Yeah!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44I'm Hardy.
0:10:44 > 0:10:45And I'm the timekeeper.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47You've had 15 minutes.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51How about things out of Africa?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53- Now, this is my kind of thing.- Wow.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- African tribal masks.- Wow. - Tribal, Gabon.
0:10:57 > 0:11:02They're obviously from different tribes, based on the motifs
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- and the style of carving.- Yes...
0:11:05 > 0:11:09That would be a fine mask, mid-20th century, about 1950s.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Yes.- That would look wonderful on someone's wall.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Is it my turn to ask the dealer how much it is?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15Yes.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- Stay there.- We'll leave it to you, the pro.- I'll go.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Good luck, Gary. Now, what have the Reds found?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- I like this horn. Very cool. - Large horn.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27- A coach horn.- Can you tell us a bit more about this, Danny?
0:11:27 > 0:11:32I know one thing, it's £125 and it's very dented as well. I mean,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35OK it's showing that it's been used,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38it's authentic and all the rest of it. It's going to
0:11:38 > 0:11:41have to be pristine. Showroom condition, really.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- OK.- At that sort of money, and that piece is definitely not.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- OK.- So the horn is staying put.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50But will the mask be leaving with the Blues?
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- I'm back.- What did they say? - The original price is about 110.
0:11:54 > 0:11:55- OK.- Oh!
0:11:55 > 0:11:59He would do 85 or just slightly lower.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02- Really?- 70?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06That might be pushing it. So, sir, what's the death?
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Yes, what can you do for us today?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12What's your best on the mask?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I'll do it at 50 for you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- Wonderful.- There you go.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17- Our first buy.- First buy.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Lovely.- Excellent.- Thank you so much.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- Thank you.- Thank you, sir.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- Fantastic.- Much appreciated.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Right, team, one down two to go.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Go on.- Let's go.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Bravo ladies,
0:12:30 > 0:12:33you bought that mask on the 20 minute mark,
0:12:33 > 0:12:37and in that time Gary has gained a couple of admirers.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39He's got the charm as well, so...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41He's got the charm, we love him.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Oh, you'll make him blush.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Ladies, the Japanese screen with the monkeys.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53I think it's time we tried to seal the deal on that one, don't you think?
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Yes.- Shall we do it?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- We know what we've got to spend, let's do it.- Exactly.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- That's the way to play this game. Let's go.- Let's go.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04The Blues certainly know what they want,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06I'm not sure about the Reds, though.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Danny, I've spotted something else
0:13:08 > 0:13:10- that I'd be very interested in looking at.- What have you spotted?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12It looks like some sort of oil candle here.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15It's quirky. I like the look of it, it's a bit different.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17You'd put it on a table and it'd be like a lighter,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20- so I suppose if you're smoking... - Smoking cigars.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Yes, if you're smoking cigars, stuff like that.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- What are we talking? - We're working hard.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Right, OK.- £125.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29What are you thinking, Danny?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I'm sure the man will come down a piece,
0:13:31 > 0:13:33but I don't think we're going to make a lot of profit on that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36OK, we've got to move on, we're running out of time here.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39- We've gotta move.- Thank you. - Thanks very much.- Cheers.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Come on, gents, we're at the halfway mark and you haven't bought a thing.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Meanwhile, the Blues are closing in on purchase number two.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Right, it's still there. - There's the one.
0:13:49 > 0:13:52I think you two need to go and speak to the dealer together,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54- You think so?- I'll look after it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- All right.- Yes.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- I'll take good care of it. - Let's go, let's go, let's go.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03I love this, that's gorgeous.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Hello! We're back, Paul.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10I think Mum's got this one in the bag,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and I think, yes, she's got the charm,
0:14:13 > 0:14:17she's put it on, I think we might just have won this one.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18- What did he say?- 190.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20There you go. I think we've got it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22I'm happy with that.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23- You're happy?- Yes.- Great.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- Super.- Definitely.- Two in the bag.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27One item left.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- Let's go.- No time to waste.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Did you hear that, boys?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Remember, you've got three items to buy and just 20 minutes to do it in.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Couple of juggling, antique juggling things.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40Shouldn't we have three?
0:14:40 > 0:14:42Well, Ollie's the juggler.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Ollie's the jugglist.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Shouldn't there be three? - Yeah, usually you'd have three!
0:14:46 > 0:14:49There's no way I'm doing it with antique clubs, no way!
0:14:49 > 0:14:50OK, how much are they?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53They are £42.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- What do you think, Danny?- I think they're quite nice, to be honest.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Got a nice patina, there's a nice colour to them.
0:14:58 > 0:15:01They don't sound too far out, 42.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03If we can get a little bit knocked off as well...
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- We might be onto something. - And I tell you what,
0:15:05 > 0:15:06I'll count juggling as a sport
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and that gets the difficult one out the way, doesn't it?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Shall we find out what... - Yeah, definitely.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12..what the best the lady can do on them,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14or a little bit more about them?
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- Is this your stall?- Yes, it is.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19We're quite interested in these juggling...
0:15:19 > 0:15:21They are actually for exercising.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Could you show us how they work?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25I'd prefer not to!
0:15:25 > 0:15:26For health and safety!
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Exactly.- But I did try them out in the garden.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31In private.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Yes, so no-one could see. - And they work?
0:15:33 > 0:15:38If you use them for very long you'd have very good muscles in your arms.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42The modern juggling club was actually inspired by exercise batons
0:15:42 > 0:15:43that were made in this style.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Is there any movement on the price at all?
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- Have you got the ticket? - The ticket's just there.
0:15:47 > 0:15:4942 for the pair.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I can take them down to 32.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56We might stand a chance if they're a tad under 30.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58I can't take them under 30.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Can you take them for 30 on the dot?
0:16:01 > 0:16:03We will shake your hand right now.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04- DEALER:- I can do it for 30.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Wonderful. Thank you very much.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- You're welcome.- Thank you. - Thank you.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- All right.- Thanks very much, lovely.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12- Cheers.- That's the first buy! - We got em!
0:16:12 > 0:16:14You've taken your time, though.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16There's only quarter of an hour left on the clock
0:16:16 > 0:16:19and you have two items to find. Avoid boxes, though.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21The Blues have that covered.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Oh, boxes!
0:16:25 > 0:16:27I don't know what it... Look at this one.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Oh, isn't that sweet?
0:16:29 > 0:16:32What is it? Is that "Corrento" or Sorrento?
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Sorrento. Yes, Sorrento ware, from Italy.
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Book box. Puzzle box.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38The age of that one?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41That would be 1920s, 1930s.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's got a little bit of damage, is that damage?
0:16:44 > 0:16:48Yes, that is damage. A little chip, that's OK, that's fine.
0:16:48 > 0:16:49And on the side as well.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Anything that old will have a bit of wear.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Let's have a look at some silver. We're going off the beat.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59You best get a move on, teams, as your time will be gone soon,
0:16:59 > 0:17:01or should I say gong soon?
0:17:01 > 0:17:05I love it. I would buy that if I was here, that is brilliant.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You can bang it when dinner's ready.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- It's practical. - That is not practical!
0:17:10 > 0:17:12A dinner gong. Danny, could it sell at an auction?
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Yes, I'd imagine so. Do you want to enquire about it?
0:17:15 > 0:17:16- You like this.- I love it, I love it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Can this work? You're saying you love it,
0:17:19 > 0:17:20you're saying you hate it, Ollie.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- We've come to that... - Is it that time?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- That struggle already. - I feel like I can talk you around.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- OK.- You do know it's £185?
0:17:28 > 0:17:30If we can get that to say maybe 130...
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- 120.- 120.
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- I love a gamble. Get it to 120. - Yeah. We'll talk at 120.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38OK, I think we need to talk to the dealer, then, Danny.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39- I'll try my best.- OK.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42- Keep admiring it, give us a couple of minutes.- All right, OK.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I love it. I love it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Gongs were traditionally made in the Far East, and the larger the gong,
0:17:49 > 0:17:50the softer the hammer.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52But has Danny been able to hammer down the price?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- What's the damage, Danny? - There's a sale going on here.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57- Really?- We can get that for 90 quid.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- Seriously?!- Seriously.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00- We're getting it.- I can't say no.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- You've got it for less than half price.- About 1920.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Don't tell everyone, we'll keep that secret.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07But we've got a deal, thank you.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- Can I gong it? - Absolutely, it's yours now.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm going to gong it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12GONG SOUNDS
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So Nathan and Ollie got the gong for a song with ten minutes to go.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18But someone's not quite struck on it.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21I am actually speechless. Such a terrible purchase!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24We've only got ten minutes left, so I think we should crack on,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- get your silver and then we're done. Yeah?- Yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31I'll turn this shipwreck around!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33We'll have to wait and see if your items run aground at
0:18:33 > 0:18:36the auction, gents. Back to the Blues,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39and is there going to be a mutiny over a fruit knife?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I don't think it's very attractive.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43You don't think it's attractive?
0:18:43 > 0:18:47- No.- I think the mother-of-pearl, and it's silver, it's 1866.
0:18:47 > 0:18:48That's the age, isn't it?
0:18:48 > 0:18:54- Yes.- But as you can see, it's been used and worn and bent.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56What would the best price be on this, sir?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58I can do that for £8.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Eight? I think that's a little winner.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03I think you're a star!
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I do, too!
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I love you!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Have we done it?- I think so!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Have we bought items one, two, three?
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Little bit of silver! We have. - The silver bit, there you go.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- That's a deal. Thank you very, very much.- Thank you, Mike, thank you.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Wonderful, thank you.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- You get a nice little bag. - Oh, you're a star.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Thank you so much.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Team, you've done me proud.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Say that on auction day!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Shall we do the dance?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Yes. With a bump, with a bump.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41The scores are in, and you get full marks for finishing first, Blues.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43The Reds have found some silver,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45but they only have five minutes to make a decision.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Well, the sovereign case will always sell,
0:19:50 > 0:19:52they are always very collectable.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57There's no monogram, it's in very, very good condition. Made in 1912,
0:19:57 > 0:19:59so just before the First World War,
0:19:59 > 0:20:04and the loop is often to go onto an Albert chain and be put into
0:20:04 > 0:20:08the waistcoat pocket, so you've always got some money with you.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Silver and gold is just so collectable.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Don't like the price on it, mind you, but there's room for movement,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18I'm sure. It's marked up at £185.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'm sure we can do something about that.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23I would be happy to sell that to you for 160.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- 160.- I work on small margins
0:20:25 > 0:20:27but good quality items,
0:20:27 > 0:20:32and it will realise that at auction most days of the week.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Are we able to squeeze just a few more pounds out of that
0:20:35 > 0:20:37to give us a good chance at the auction?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Can you go 150 for three boys running out of time?
0:20:41 > 0:20:42Look, 150, I'm happy with.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Thank you very much. - We're there? We're there.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- Cheers.- That's it, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Well done, guys. Well done.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57The boys took 40 minutes to buy the wooden batons.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58They cost £30.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Danny hammered down the price and got this gong for £90.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06And, with minutes to spare,
0:21:06 > 0:21:10they splashed out on this silver sovereign case, £150 paid.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Well, Nathan and Ollie, you put Danny through his paces.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16You did get there in the end!
0:21:16 > 0:21:20Now, out of all three items, which, Nathan, is your favourite?
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I have a feeling I know what you're going to say!
0:21:22 > 0:21:24- I love the gong!- The gong! - I love it, I love it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25What a discount, as well!
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Yeah, Danny's pulled a miracle out there.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29Ollie, do you agree, is the gong...?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- Absolutely not.- No! OK!
0:21:31 > 0:21:33That is going to be a catastrophic loss.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Which do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39I think the biggest profit will turn on the silver.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Now, you spent pretty big, £270.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45I must say, I'm very proud of you both, good work. So who's got £30?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I do, yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Well, you won't have it for long
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- because I'm going to give it to Danny.- Thank you.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52What are you going to do with such a paltry sum?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I'm not really sure, to be honest,
0:21:54 > 0:21:58but there's plenty out there, so I know I'll get something.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Well, I'm sure Danny knows what he's doing,
0:22:00 > 0:22:02so while he's off getting the bonus buy,
0:22:02 > 0:22:05let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09The African tribal mask called out to them in the first few minutes.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10£50 paid.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14The Blues fell in love with this Oriental-style screen
0:22:14 > 0:22:16and paid the price.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It cost them £190.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Finally, the 19th-century fruit knife was only £8,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25but will it be a bad apple?
0:22:26 > 0:22:31So, Janine, Lisa, Gary, which is your favourite?
0:22:31 > 0:22:35My favourite is the Asian screen, it's beautiful.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37So do you think that screen's going to make the most money?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40I think it may be the little knife.
0:22:40 > 0:22:41It's worth it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45OK, so, Janine, you went from Africa to Asia to England.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Which continent is your money on for the biggest profit?
0:22:48 > 0:22:49It's the Japanese screen.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- OK.- I love it, I loved it.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55- So did I.- What did you spend in total?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57£248.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00- We went shopping!- Which leaves 52.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04- OK, who's got it? I bet you've got it, Lisa.- I do.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Thank you. That's perfect.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I will do the very same to Gary.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09Gary, £52.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Thank you very much.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Now, you weren't up against time during the shop
0:23:14 > 0:23:16and now you've got even more to look for a bonus buy!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What are you thinking?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21Well, I might have found something that's perfect
0:23:21 > 0:23:23for a cold winter's night.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It will certainly warm your hearts...
0:23:26 > 0:23:28I hope it's not a water bottle!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30..and perhaps some other body part!
0:23:30 > 0:23:34- But, anyway...!- Well, Gary's certainly got us intrigued here.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Of course, the auction looms large, but before we head there,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I'm off to Axminster,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42where I'm hoping they'll have rolled out the red carpet.
0:23:46 > 0:23:51Elaborate floor coverings were once only afforded by wealthy aristocrats,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55but machinery efficiencies during the 18th and 19th centuries
0:23:55 > 0:23:57would ultimately reduce production costs,
0:23:57 > 0:24:00so making them available to a larger market.
0:24:00 > 0:24:05The Devon town of Axminster is known worldwide for its legendary carpets.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08It all began in 1755,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12when local clockmaker Thomas Whitty was inspired by the colourful patterns
0:24:12 > 0:24:15of Turkish carpets and set out to recreate them.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Of course, Whitty needed a factory where he could bring his carpet
0:24:21 > 0:24:25creations to life, and it was on this very site that production began.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Lawrence Hitchcock is a local historian who can tell me more about Witty
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and how he made carpet making an art form.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41This carpet is an absolute masterpiece by the looks of things so, please,
0:24:41 > 0:24:43tell me of its history.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Well, it was made in 1769, on this site,
0:24:46 > 0:24:50and it was laid at Rockbeare Manor, just outside Exeter,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53and it has been there for 247 years,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56until it has now come home, to where it was made.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Whitty's competitors used horizontal looms,
0:24:59 > 0:25:01but he invented a vertical loom,
0:25:01 > 0:25:04which allowed weavers to tie knots faster
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and make the carpets more quickly.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08How involved would he have been in the process?
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Design only or actual manufacture?
0:25:11 > 0:25:15He was very involved because he invented the Axminster weave,
0:25:15 > 0:25:20the Axminster knot, so he would have been actually weaving to start with.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23These carpets received a royal seal of approval.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Yes, George III visited the factory here with the queen
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and the princesses, and they ordered some carpet from him,
0:25:30 > 0:25:32which wouldn't have done his business any harm at all.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34They became the must-have thing.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Whitty was a master craftsman and savvy businessman.
0:25:39 > 0:25:43But in 1792, at the height of his success, Whitty died.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Production continued, but in 1828, tragedy struck again
0:25:51 > 0:25:53when fire destroyed the factory.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Sadly, the business couldn't recover and went bankrupt.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06But in 1937, carpet making began in Axminster once again.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12And at this factory they have a special team
0:26:12 > 0:26:14who replicate carpets that Whitty made
0:26:14 > 0:26:17to replace originals of his that have been damaged beyond repair.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Gary Bridge is the man in charge.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24But how do you, as design director, reproduce these,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26now they are hundreds of years old?
0:26:26 > 0:26:29We go on site, we'll take some photographs,
0:26:29 > 0:26:32then we'll do some tracings and we colour match it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34We will take along a selection of colours
0:26:34 > 0:26:37and then bring the designs back here and then check it that we have got
0:26:37 > 0:26:40all the details that was in the original.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41At Windsor Castle,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45Thomas Whitty's carpets were laid proudly in state rooms,
0:26:45 > 0:26:50but they were destroyed when the castle was ravaged by fire in 1992.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54However, Gary's team were able to recreate them.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00And they are replicating Whitty's carpets at other iconic buildings as well.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02At Brighton Pavilion,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06only a small fragment of their original Whitty carpet has survived,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09so how will Gary bring it back to life?
0:27:09 > 0:27:12They were quite fortunate, we've got a section of the original painting.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14So that was hand-painted by Thomas Whitty?
0:27:14 > 0:27:16By Thomas Whitty, in the 18th century.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Wow, what a resource.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Using Whitty's original drawing for inspiration,
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Gary and his team have created this template of Brighton Pavilion's Thomas Whitty carpet.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29When people walk into the room, they don't want to see a new carpet,
0:27:29 > 0:27:32they want to think that they are walking on the original carpet.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35You've got to put in all the little handmade mistakes and idiosyncrasies
0:27:35 > 0:27:38within the carpet, so our job is to put all these little things back into
0:27:38 > 0:27:40the carpet to make it look like it was hundreds of years ago.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- So the perfection is in the imperfection.- Absolutely.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Back on the factory floor,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48reproductions are created using computerised looms,
0:27:48 > 0:27:50but they are all checked by hand.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54By combining all the original methods and new technology,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57the genius of Whitty's craftsmanship can be recaptured
0:27:57 > 0:28:00for future generations.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04And I'm sure Thomas Whitty would be extremely pleased about that.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10But now it's time for the auction.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Well, we're still in the south-west, but we've headed a little east,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16so now we're in Honiton, at Whitten's Auction house,
0:28:16 > 0:28:18with Mr Whitten himself, Edward.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Hello, thank you for having us along.
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- Thank you, thank you for coming. - It's great to be here.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24We're going to start off with the Red team.
0:28:24 > 0:28:25I love that they bought these juggling pins.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Yeah.- What do you make of them? Have you sold these before at auction?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31No, never sold a pair in my auction house here.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35A bit unusual, a bit of worm in them I see, which doesn't help them.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37What do you reckon your buyers are going to make of them?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Have they been juggling around on the view?
0:28:40 > 0:28:41Have you been keeping an eye on them?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43Yes, there's been strong, heavy viewing this week,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46so it's quite optimistic on the sale full stop, as it is.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49So tell me, if you think they are going to be quite popular,
0:28:49 > 0:28:51what estimate have you put on the juggling pins?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53The juggling pins, I've put 30 to 50 on.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55OK, that's not too bad because the guys paid £30.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59- There you go.- Not too shabby. - No.- Right, let's move on.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03This gong, I mean, Nathan absolutely loved it.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06They had to have it. What kind of age do you reckon it is, Edward?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09It's 1920s, 1940s.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10It's got a few later additions.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13The handles don't match on the top.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15But it's a big, showy piece.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17It is a bit of a show stopper, isn't it?
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- Absolutely, yes.- And do you reckon it's going to bring
0:29:19 > 0:29:22a good hammer price? What sort of estimate have you put on it?
0:29:22 > 0:29:2360 to 80.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25Oh, well, at £90 the boys paid,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27you wouldn't think it was a bargain for them, then?
0:29:27 > 0:29:29No. A bit optimistic, I'm afraid.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Then the last thing, this tiny, little bit of silver.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Yeah.- But it's not a novelty, it's quite practical, isn't it,
0:29:34 > 0:29:38- this sort of piece?- Yes, typical sovereign case of its type.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42It's a nice clean, nice gauge to it, not engraved with initials,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44nicely marked, and quite saleable.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47- What kind of estimate have you put on it?- £80 to 100.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50OK, well, the lads will be hoping for a wee bit more
0:29:50 > 0:29:52because they paid 150 for it, actually.
0:29:52 > 0:29:54We'll see what happens.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57So it looks as though Edward might think the Reds will need
0:29:57 > 0:30:00their bonus buy. Let's find out what it is.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Ollie, Nathan, you left Danny very little, only £30.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Are you starting to regret that now?
0:30:06 > 0:30:08No, I've got all the faith in him.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11OK, pull that red cloth off and let's see.
0:30:11 > 0:30:12Oh, wow, look at that.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Look at the finish on that. - Can I hold it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- Absolutely.- What is it, Danny?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18It's a bottle crate holder.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20Generally you see them carrying six.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21This one carries ten.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26This kind of roughly French kind of look, very, very in.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29So I've got a feeling this is going to fly at the auction.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31How old is it, do we think?
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Round about 1950s.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34- OK.- Ollie, what do you think about it?
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I think it's a shame it's empty, Danny.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39We could have done with a few nice bottles of champagne in there,
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- but never mind.- Probably wouldn't have got it for 30 quid then,
0:30:41 > 0:30:43and I think that's 30 well spent.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45So what do you think it could fetch?
0:30:45 > 0:30:47Well, obviously the saleroom is going to be online,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49so I mean this can go anywhere, really.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Interior designers, they like this kind of rustic look.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54So I've got a feeling that this is
0:30:54 > 0:30:57going to make strong money at auction.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01OK, well, Danny is relying on the weather, let's see if Edward,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04the auctioneer, thinks he can rely on his buyers to be interested in
0:31:04 > 0:31:06the wine crate.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09So, Edward, here's Danny's choice.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11It's quite a cool thing, but, I mean,
0:31:11 > 0:31:15how much competition do you think this is going to get in the auction room?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Not a great deal, if I'm honest.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20But there's a lot of the shops in Honiton will buy things like this,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23just stand outside their front door. It's a good window dressing item.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25And what do you reckon they'll pay for it?
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- What's the estimate?- £25 to £30.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, Danny did pay the top end of the estimate, £30,
0:31:30 > 0:31:31so all hope is not lost.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Absolutely.- OK.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Let's move on to the Blue team and the first thing they bought was
0:31:36 > 0:31:40something that they really wanted, an African mask.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- Yeah, well...- What do you make of this example?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Well, no home is complete without one. Typical of its type.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49It's a typical Internet buying item.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52OK, so you reckon it's going to go to maybe an international buyer,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- or...- Yeah, I don't think it'll stay locally, personally.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Listen, you never know. You never know.
0:31:56 > 0:31:57You don't, you can't tell.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Now, one thing you might know is what you reckon they'll pay for it,
0:32:00 > 0:32:01so what's your estimate?
0:32:01 > 0:32:03- 20 to 30.- 20 to 30 for the mask.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05OK, well, they paid £50 for it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07There's hope for that, actually, to be fair.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Not too bad, I'm sure you will try your very best.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- Absolutely.- So item number two, this stand behind you,
0:32:14 > 0:32:17the screen cum stand cum tapestry.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18What do you make of it?
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Well, the bamboo effect is quite saleable.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24The monkey and animals is quite a saleable item, I think.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25I mean, condition isn't great.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27The condition isn't great.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30There's a slight damage to it, but the woodwork and the stand is fine,
0:32:30 > 0:32:32and I think it's quite a saleable item.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Me too. I think it's really cool. OK, saying that,
0:32:34 > 0:32:36tell me, what estimate have you got on it?
0:32:36 > 0:32:37One to 150, I'm afraid.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40One to 150, OK, so bearing in mind they were in a retail environment,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42the team paid £190.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Yeah, I still think that could actually, that could do that.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48It would be great if it got £200, they would be so chuffed.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52And then, next item is this MOP fruit knife.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55I mean, it's got its hallmarks, but perhaps it's seen better days.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59It has. The blade is quite thin, quite whippy, bent at the end.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Been used, it was probably a screwdriver at some point, to be honest.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06But the MOP, mother of pearl is in good condition
0:33:06 > 0:33:09and it's nice, clear marks, but it's a fruit knife.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11They are sweet things. They always sell, don't they?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Yeah.- So when you see one of these you probably have a set estimate
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- in mind.- Yeah.- So what is it? - It's 10-15 quid.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Pounds.- Always 10 to £15, isn't it?
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Yeah, yeah.- Well, guess what, they only paid £8.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24- There you go.- So there could be a profit in it.- Absolutely.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26- Most likely there will be. - Yes, definitely.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28OK, so it's really all about this screen, isn't it?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Yeah.- And if that falls flat on its face,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32then they are going to need their bonus buy.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35So let's find out what Gary bought for the Blues.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39So, Janine, Lisa, you spent so much money during the fair,
0:33:39 > 0:33:41you hardly left Gary anything.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Just £52, to be precise.
0:33:43 > 0:33:4452 is what you had, Gary.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46What did you spend it on?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48- Come on.- Well, I promised something heart-warming.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- Yes.- So what do you think?
0:33:50 > 0:33:52It's a warmer of some sort.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57It's a foot warmer, late Victorian or early 20th century.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02You'd fill it up on the inside with burning coal.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- That is so cute.- And is that in good condition, Gary, for what it is?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Yes, and look at the detail.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11It's got embossed birds with leaves on them.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- Beautiful.- That's very pretty.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16So did you spend the 52, or just the £2?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18I tell you what. I spent...
0:34:18 > 0:34:20£25.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Whoa!- Now we know what Gary spent on it,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25but you want to know if there's going to be any competition
0:34:25 > 0:34:27- in the auction.- Yes.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29How much do you reckon it's going to make, Gary?
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Well, I think there's an upward movement of about 15 quid,
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- turn a profit at least. - That sounds good enough.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38I think that's going to make a nice profit, Gary.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Yes. And does this warm your heart?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43- Yes.- Warms my cockles.
0:34:43 > 0:34:44- It does.- There you go.
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Well, the ladies have definitely warmed to Gary's bonus buy.
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Let's find out what Ed, our auctioneer, thinks.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Well, Edward, would you have this in your house
0:34:54 > 0:34:57- to keep your tootsies toasty? - Absolutely not, I'm afraid.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58It's quite a novelty item.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01It looks nice. It's nicely decorated with flowers and birds.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04It's quite fun. I mean, the thing is, foot warmer,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07- how practical is it?- Absolutely. - Are people buying it, for what purpose?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09It's just a decorator's item these days.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So pretty as it is, it's not exactly the most practical item,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14so what's the estimate?
0:35:14 > 0:35:18- 20 to 30.- OK, well, Gary spent 25 on it,
0:35:18 > 0:35:20so fingers crossed he'll do all right.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- Yeah, yeah, I'm quite happy with that.- OK, well,
0:35:23 > 0:35:26we always ask for a variety on Bargain Hunt, and we certainly have it with
0:35:26 > 0:35:29these items, so will you look forward to selling them on the rostrum?
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- Yeah.- Well, I look forward to seeing you in action.- Thank you.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Nathan, Ollie, how are you? How are you feeling?- Good.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47Good, yeah. I think we've got three, maybe four, good items, so we'll see.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Hopefully there's a couple of clowns in
0:35:49 > 0:35:51because the first lot is the juggling pins.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Yes, yes, yes. - Gents, here they come now.
