0:00:03 > 0:00:05Today, we are in Kent,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09the first part of the UK to have white lines and road markings.
0:00:09 > 0:00:13Introduced in 1914 on the London to Folkestone road at Ashford,
0:00:13 > 0:00:17they were painted to help drivers combat some dangerous bends.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19But there's no stopping today.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Everyone's off to the Kent County Showground for a large antiques fair.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24So what are we waiting for?
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55We're here at Detling at the antique and collectors fair,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57where it's all go today.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02Our teams have got £300 and just one hour in which to buy three
0:01:02 > 0:01:06items to take off to auction and, hopefully, make a profit.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Now, let's check out what's coming up.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12The Reds are in deep water...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- Look at that.- Not what I expected when I came on Bargain Hunt.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17THEY LAUGH
0:01:17 > 0:01:20..and the Blues drive a hard bargain.
0:01:20 > 0:01:2140.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23- He's good, isn't he?- We like that.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25Well...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30But will the gamble pay off at auction?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Hang on, that's a tenner!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34This is really good stuff.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36But that's all coming up later.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Now, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41We've got two lovely young couples today.
0:01:41 > 0:01:46For the Reds, Katie and Ed, and for the Blues, George and Minna.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Hello, everyone. TEAMS: Hello!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Good, strong voices, too.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Now, Katie, how did you meet? - We actually met on a dating app.
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Yes. So out of hundreds of thousands of men in London, I got Ed.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Wonderful.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Now, Katie, work-wise, you have the ideal job in the world, do you not?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Yes. I do actually eat for free and drink for free
0:02:08 > 0:02:10in London most of the time.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13- That's your job?- Yeah, I'm an associate editor for a nightlife website.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15So, yeah, I get to experience a lot
0:02:15 > 0:02:18of London's restaurants and experiences,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21so we go to a lot of theatre and comedy and stuff,
0:02:21 > 0:02:22which really benefits Ed,
0:02:22 > 0:02:24because he hasn't paid for a date night in two years.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28Which is fantastic. And it's benefiting my waistline perfectly.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I know how you keep your slim figure. You dance, don't you?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I do. I don't do it so much any more,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37but I used to take swing dancing lessons every week,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41so I know how to Lindy Hop and how to Charleston. It's, like, a 1920s,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44'30s dance, so it's really fun, it's amazing.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46That's quite energetic, isn't it, the Charleston?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Yes... Come on, Charlie, yes.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Lots of swivelling, swivel those hips, yeah, get it in, yeah.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Too old for that. - It seems like the move for you.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Ed, do you do a bit of this?
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I tried it once on our second date, actually.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- Our second date.- But I ended up kicking her in the shins.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02But you are a music man anyway, aren't you?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Yeah, so I play in a band with a view of my friends.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Talking about talents, didn't you used to do a bit of juggling ages ago?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Yeah, so this is what happens you don't fill out your own application form.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Things like this get brought up.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Oh, it was a secret, was it?
0:03:16 > 0:03:21Juggling? In my pocket, I happen to have one of those.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26- One of them?- Well, you need three, Charlie.- In my other pocket, I've got another of those.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28But we don't want it too easy for you,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- because I've got another of those!- Should I stand back?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37A round of applause, come on! That's fantastic.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Give them me back. Now, what about antiques?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41I know nothing about them, so this will be fun.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Do you like any antiques?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46We buy a lot of old vintage furniture when we moved in together.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50So the shopping should be quite easy?
0:03:50 > 0:03:51- No!- No? I think so.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Oh, OK. Yeah, it'll be interesting.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Good luck with that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- Thank you.- Now, George and Minna.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Minna, you met George in a similar sort of way, didn't you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Yes, we did, I was just a bit lonely on a Friday night and thought I'd
0:04:03 > 0:04:06swipe through my phone and I came across his photo and I thought,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10"Yeah, he looks a bit nice," so I swiped right and, yeah, we matched!
0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's quite romantic, isn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Now, you're a student at the moment, aren't you, Minna?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Yes. I'm at a business and media school in Oxford,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20so that's basically training up to be an executive PA.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's great fun, I started that a month ago.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- And you did a lot of travelling before you went to uni, didn't you? - Yep, I took two gap years,
0:04:26 > 0:04:28cos I just didn't know exactly what I wanted to go and do,
0:04:28 > 0:04:32but I did a lot of volunteer work in South Africa for Save the Children,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35which was incredible and the children are amazing.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Oh, brilliant. Now, George, you're also a student?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Yes, I'm doing a masters in petroleum geoscience.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44So where is this going to lead, the degree?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48I'm hoping to be an exploration geologist for a major oil company,
0:04:48 > 0:04:49or gas company, in the industry,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and with that, you travel the world looking for oil and gas.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- That's wonderful.- Yeah.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Now, the Reds like a bit of vintage furniture, what about you two?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01We're quite stingy students, so, you know,
0:05:01 > 0:05:04we're going to look to save money and we both can talk the hind leg
0:05:04 > 0:05:07off a donkey, so we can get it for nothing.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Economical, cheap and definitely going to turn a profit.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13I might not give you £300 then!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- No.- But I've got £300 for you.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Sounds like you're not going to need it all, but you never know.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Thank you.- And £300 for you two.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Is there more?- Just £300!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Off you go, and have a great shop.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27TEAMS: Thank you.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29What a match.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32But who will strike the bigger bargain?
0:05:33 > 0:05:37We've lined up two talented experts for our teams.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Rocking with the Reds, it's Raj Bisram.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45And keeping the Blues focused, it's Richard Madley.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47What are we looking for today?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Burger phones.- Burger phone!- A what?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51It's a phone shaped like a burger.
0:05:51 > 0:05:55To be honest, I'm quite open-minded and we're obviously in great hands,
0:05:55 > 0:05:59so I'm putting a lot of trust in you to find us a great bargain.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Right. So, no pressure on me.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03What about you, Ed, what are you looking for?
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Anything interesting or unique. Something a little bit different.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07I'm thinking small, stylish,
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- and something that you can put your mantelpiece.- Oh!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14Right, teams, on your bike. Your 60 minutes starts now!
0:06:14 > 0:06:16BELL RINGS
0:06:17 > 0:06:18Let's go shopping, then.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Come with me.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22And away they go.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Wasn't it the Reds who were looking for an unusual phone?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28- A little piggy phone.- A little piggy phone, indeed, yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I don't think that's going to bring home the bacon, is it?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- CYMBALS CLASH - Good line. No, it certainly isn't.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Ooh, who's been watching too much Bargain Hunt?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38The Reds have registered a possible buy.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40This is cute, what's this?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I think the market for those is really all cashed out.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- We need to find something else. - I think it's cute, though.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49OK, yeah, OK. I'll keep it in my mind.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Keep it TILL later, Reds.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Now, what have the Blues found?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55This looks quite interesting.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It's a bit Wedgwoody, in a way.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Not bad at all, actually, pretty good.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02Made in Staffordshire, it's black basalt ware.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05As a set or would this be sold individually?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07No, you would have that
0:07:07 > 0:07:12as a set, and what's nice about it, is it appears...
0:07:12 > 0:07:15"Oh, no, it doesn't," he says, as he tries to count to six.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You've got to have six coffee cans and I can only see five.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Yeah, so can I.- So, if it's incomplete, we're moving on.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25- Yeah, moving on.- That is really how blunt one's got to be.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27A full set or nothing at all!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29I like your style, Blues.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33Now, have the Reds got a first buy boxed up already?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35- I like this box. - So, you like this box?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- I like the look of the box, yeah. - This is an old military tin box.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40It's for storing ammunition.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42But what use has got today?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44- Probably not a lot. Not a lot?- No... - Repurposing or something...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- But you like it? - Yeah, I think it's nice.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- You really like it?- We do collect military style bits and pieces.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53There's a lot of military collectors. What about you, Ed?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55I'd like something a bit more interesting than a box.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Let's move on. - Ed, thanks for your support(!)
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Teamwork! Remember, Reds? Teamwork.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03Now, the Blues fancy their luck.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- That's nice.- You like the roulette wheel?
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Is that what you're saying? - It's nice, yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- Well, I like the roulette wheel.- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13As it happens, I actually bought one for my wife for her birthday.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Oh, yeah?- She was surprised, but not disappointed.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Now, I wouldn't bet on that, Richard!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- That would be a bit of fun. - Yeah.- How does it spin?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- It's nice.- It's in plastic or Bakelite, isn't it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27So it could be 1930s, 1950s.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31A bit of candle wax, obviously been playing by candlelight.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34But what I really like with it is the mats.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yeah, and I don't know if it has the original.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Let's go and ask the owner. - Yeah. Let's go and ask the owner.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41See what she has to say.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Hello there, I'm wondering if you, by any chance, might have a mat that
0:08:44 > 0:08:46went with this?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Things have been moved round this morning, hold on,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- we may have the original mat that goes with that.- Excellent.- Ah!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- That's the original one that goes with it.- Fantastic.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Oh, I like it.- I like that one. - We've got the box as well for it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Jaques of London. They were good makers.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05They made games, they made croquet sets,
0:09:05 > 0:09:09they made lots of board games from the turn of
0:09:09 > 0:09:12the 20th century onwards. So, a good make.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16I think this is earlier in date than the board itself.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18But I don't think that matters.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20It's a nice little marriage.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So in terms of putting them both together,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25we've got a pretty complete set here.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27The only thing that's missing is...
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- The price.- The price.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Right, we had 85 on it, but we want to give you a chance to earn some money.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35So, £50.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37- 50?- £50...
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- It's a bit steep for me. - Place your bets.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- THEY LAUGH - What, whether we win or lose?
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Naturally, I was hoping that it was going to be a little bit less.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- Of course you are.- What about 25?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Oh, God, no, I paid more for it than that I'm afraid.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I'll do 45 for you.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57- 45.- 40 and it's there.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59He's good, isn't he?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01THEY LAUGH
0:10:01 > 0:10:05We like that. I think the deal's been done.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- OK.- Why not?
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Thank you.- Thank you very much. It's too late to turn back.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11All right, George, £40. Sold, thank you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Decisive, I like it.
0:10:13 > 0:10:1613 minutes in and the Blues have waged a bet on this roulette wheel
0:10:16 > 0:10:19as their first buy, £40 paid.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Meanwhile, are the Reds barking up the wrong tree?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24So, I quite like this dog here.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, it is a good thing to spot, Ed. That is good taste
0:10:27 > 0:10:29because out of all the clockwork toys on this table,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32that is the one that I think is the best of all.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I think that's got a pretty heavy price ticket on it,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37- because it's quite rare.- 150! OK!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Yeah, one thing is, dogs are collectable.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41People collect dogs.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I think that if I was to estimate that at auction,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47my honest opinion is I would be estimating it
0:10:47 > 0:10:49somewhere between £50-£80.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Right, OK, yeah. - So, if this lovely gentleman
0:10:52 > 0:10:56from Holland, OK, would consider a bid
0:10:56 > 0:10:59of around £60...
0:10:59 > 0:11:02- No.- What would be your very, very best?
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Well, as you said, these are quite rare and 100 is really the best I
0:11:06 > 0:11:09can do and then you already have a bargain.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11You wouldn't do maybe, like, 95?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13No, no, no, no, hang on...
0:11:13 > 0:11:14- 90!- I would go down to 90.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17We're getting there now. We're getting there now.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Mm-hm.- OK, but I still think... - I put it down.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21It's up to you. 90.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24- Take it or leave it.- And I presume you've got the key as well?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You want to leave it, Ed?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- Yeah, I think it's a third of our budget and I think we're going too high, too quick.- OK.- OK.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- It's great.- Fair enough. - But it's not for me.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36OK. Yeah. Come on then, guys, let's carry on.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- Thank you very much. - Great decision, Ed,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41you're a man who knows exactly what he doesn't want!
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- The Blues also have a plan of action.- I reckon something unusual.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Something out there.- Yeah?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Talking of which... - Did you see that lizard?
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- He's quite cool, isn't it? - The lizard...- Komodo dragon.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Komodo, yeah, he is indeed. - Bit of a big boy, isn't he?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- You wouldn't argue with him, would you?- No.- Well, keep away then!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01The Reds, however, are being drawn to another box.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- That's quite interesting. - I quite like that.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05OK, looks like a first aid box.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08Looks interesting. I'm not sure how old it is.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- Do pick it up and have a look. - Before we do...- Yes?
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Can you give me an idea of how much it is?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Well, I was asking 42, but I could negotiate.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Oh! What do you think?- It's in good condition, if it is old.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Yeah. Yeah.- I think it has got a bit of age to it.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It is quite unusual.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Yeah.- It's bold.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26What's it going to at auction?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Somewhere between £20-£30 at auction?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- That's what it's going to make. - Right, OK, yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- What is the best you could do on it? - Well, I'd really like 25 for it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37OK. Go down to 20?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- At all, maybe?- Don't look at me!
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- They are learning, they are learning.- Oh, go on, go on.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- 20.- Yeah, do you want to shake? Shake the lady's hand.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Fantastic, thank you very much. Cheers.- Lovely, thank you very much.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Lovely, thank you.- Brilliant.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53So, our first buy. Let's go and find the next one.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Thank you.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58It took 20-odd minutes, but the Reds have their first item in the bag.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01They bought this military first aid box for £20.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Now, whilst the teams carry on browsing,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I have something cute and cuddly to show the people of Detling.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Hello!- Hello.- Do you like my little bunny?
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It's a well-loved soft toy called Bunny.
0:13:13 > 0:13:14But what's it worth?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16£20, £30?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- £20 or £30.- Probably about £10.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- Well, I would think perhaps £40. - About £40.- Yeah.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- A fiver.- 25 quid.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25- 25 quid?- £250.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27£250?!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Yes.- My word, that's interesting.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33What a huge variety of valuations.
0:13:33 > 0:13:34Nobody was quite sure.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The value is in the eye of the beholder.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40What do you look for in a soft, cuddly toy?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42If a course, a toy's made by Steiff,
0:13:42 > 0:13:45that would make a huge difference to the value.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47What about condition?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Well, Bunny here has been well loved.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52We wouldn't want him looking brand-new, would we?
0:13:52 > 0:13:57But on the other hand, he is a little bit patched up.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01But none of these factors are as important as provenance.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Where did a toy come from?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Who owned the toy?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Who loved the toy? What is the history of the toy?
0:14:08 > 0:14:11And that is the key point.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14We don't know who made this bunny,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18but I know where this bunny came from.
0:14:18 > 0:14:23This bunny was given to a great friend of mine 60 years ago
0:14:23 > 0:14:27by none other than Sir Winston Churchill.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30She was two at the time and she think she can vaguely remember in
0:14:30 > 0:14:32the back of her mind Winston Churchill
0:14:32 > 0:14:35coming in and giving her this toy.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37And, of course, she could write a letter to that effect,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41because her father farmed the land around Chequers and therefore,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44they met Sir Winston Churchill on several occasions.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Of course, any connection with the greatest man of the 20th century
0:14:48 > 0:14:53makes something considerably more valuable and I think that Bunny,
0:14:53 > 0:14:58instead of being worth a fiver, if sold, and of course Bunny won't
0:14:58 > 0:15:01be sold, would make between £500 and £1,000
0:15:01 > 0:15:03without any trouble at all.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07This Bunny was given to a friend of mine 60 years ago...
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- Right.- ..by Winston Churchill. - Really?- Yeah, honestly.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Oh, my God.- So, what do you reckon that would do to his value?
0:15:14 > 0:15:15- 80.- 80?!
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- 40.- 40? So, it's gone up, ooh, ten times or so.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23- Yes, I would think probably at least double.- At least double?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26- I'd say he's doubled it at least. - £2,000?
0:15:26 > 0:15:29£2,000, God, that's really interesting.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Well, there you have it. Provenance is everything.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Back to it, and we are 30 minutes in.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Both teams have one item each and the Blues are in a holiday mood.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43I've always liked those trunks.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Can you imagine going on holiday to Ibiza with one of those?
0:15:47 > 0:15:50- Well, I would.- I'd quite like to look at bit of silver I think.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54Possibly a thimble, something small. Definitely under 50.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Definitely under 50. Small in size and silver.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Now then, Ed, what did you ask for, again?
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Something interesting, unique and different?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07I think this might tick all three boxes.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- The diver's helmet?- You should be aware that it is a reproduction.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- OK.- It is still very, very decorative.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15I mean, we haven't seen another one here.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18You know, if this was an original one, this would be over £1,000.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- OK.- Very, very expensive.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Your diver's helmet.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25What's the best price on it? What have you got on it?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Um, I want £150 on it.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30What could you do for this lovely couple?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32125 is the best that I will do.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Pick it up, let's have a look at it, it's quite heavy.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- I'm OK.- It's very, very different...
0:16:37 > 0:16:41- Got a nice weight to it.- Yeah, blimey.- So shall I put it on now? Oh!
0:16:41 > 0:16:42THEY LAUGH
0:16:42 > 0:16:46- Brilliant! Look at that!- Not what I expected when I came on bargain hunt.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- I mean, it's a really heavy thing. - I really love the little...
0:16:52 > 0:16:53The plaque.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Yeah. It's a reproduction.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57It is a reproduction, but, like I say, if it was the original,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00you be paying well over £1,000 for it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04Guys, if I was... I mean, this gentleman looks like he's a nice gentleman.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06I mean, why did you see if, you know...
0:17:06 > 0:17:07- 110?- What do you think, Ed?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10Well, I would definitely take it for 110, I think.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12110, definitely.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13I really can't, seriously.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16125 is the best that I will do on it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Try and forget the fiver. How about 120?
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- 120?- Come on, for a fiver.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21For you, 120.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23What do you think?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25I would go for 120, I love it!
0:17:25 > 0:17:28It's definitely a cool thing. There's no doubt about it.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- You happy with that? - I'm happy with that.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32I would shake the man's hand, then.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Yeah. Thank you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- Lovely, thank you very much. - Thank you, thank you.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38£120. One item to go.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41It took us ages to get to the first item and now
0:17:41 > 0:17:43we've bought two in ten minutes.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Brilliant. Let's go and spend some more money.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Well done, Reds. I hope your second buy doesn't nosedive.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52£120 is a hefty chunk of your budget.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Meanwhile, have the Blues found the silver they were after?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I've seen the two items that I really like.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02The first is this item, this is an Indian silver bowl.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06So this could have probably been made up in northern India,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09maybe the end of the last century.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12It's priced at £69.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15There's something nice and intricate happening around the sides,
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- it's very nice. - Absolutely right. Indeed.
0:18:17 > 0:18:23Now, in terms of size and price, I've selected this.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- This is an Edwardian silver hand mirror.- I like that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30- I love it.- Now, this has probably come from a dressing table set
0:18:30 > 0:18:35and this is Edwardian, it was made 1910.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39And it's just a pretty little piece...
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- I like it.- ..which any lady would like to have on her dressing table.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- It's lovely.- So why don't you take that, have a little look there.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49- Would something like this sell?- Yes, they always sell, they always sell.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- Is it hallmarked?- It is hallmarked, Birmingham, 1910...
0:18:52 > 0:18:54- Mm-hm.- And guess how much it is?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56How much?
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- £25.- Oh...- £25.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Still a bit steep. - Oh, you're a hard man, George.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I know, what can I say?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Now, I've spoken to the owner and that is his very best price.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- OK.- And I think it's a fair price.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11It's lovely, I do like it.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14You see, it's a lady's lot and a lady's going to buy it.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I know, yeah, I'd better stand back here. I'd better stand back.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Yeah, I know, indeed.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I do like it and it's definitely under our price range.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23- And it's small and it's pretty. - Yeah, indeed.- So...
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- Does it win out over the bowl? - Definitely.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- That is lovely, but I prefer this. - Yes, I think so, yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31- I think, "Yes".- So, in that case, shall we consider it sold?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- Yeah, definitely.- Excellent.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36We've got a deal. Thank you very much. Marvellous.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Oh, I do like these decisive Blues.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Well done. A second item, the Edwardian silver hand mirror,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44bought for £25.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Meanwhile, the Reds are having a team talk.
0:19:46 > 0:19:5125 minutes left, two items down, you both happy with them?
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Yeah, why not?- Yeah.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55We don't want, "No, why not," we want a definite.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58OK, one to go.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Let's go.- Yeah.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04With both teams two apiece, George is trying to get ahead of the Reds.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07What about this head? That looks a bit unusual.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10I like your thinking, it's not of any great age,
0:20:10 > 0:20:13but I like the scale of it.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Is that the sort of thing that...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- It's nice.- Yeah.- I like it,
0:20:18 > 0:20:20it's probably worth finding out what the price is.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25- Yes.- Excuse me, how much are you selling this head for?
0:20:25 > 0:20:26450.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Oh, matron!- Time is not on our side, let's keep going.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Even for our frugal students, that's a bit steep.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35From the classy...
0:20:35 > 0:20:38to the, erm...modern?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40What?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42No, that's amazing!
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Oh, my goodness. - You can say that again.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- Oh, my goodness.- I love it.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- You do?- Yeah.- My goodness.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- Imagine watching TV sitting in that! - You really, really like this?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- I do, yeah.- You do know that this show is about antiques and
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- collectables, don't you? - That looks collectable to me.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04OK, I suppose this is a collectable of the future.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Wow. Could you please come and talk to me about this?
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Hopefully, it might belong to... - They love it, they love it.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12It's a fairground ride.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15We gathered that. They're very popular at the minute.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18We sell them to pubs, all sorts of places.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20You can imagine that in, like, an east London pub or a pop-up place.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- I could, I could, yeah.- Really?- Yes.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25You can imagine that in an east London pub?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27- Yes.- And you think that would go down well?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- In a pub, yeah.- In a pub...
0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Let's get down to the nitty-gritty then. How much is it?- 150.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Do you know where it's from? Is it, like, '70s, or is it...?
0:21:37 > 0:21:41It would be a bit later, probably about 1990s.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's a fairly modern one, but they seem to like it.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46I mean, what would be the very, very best?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Look at these two, look at this young couple.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52140 and that is it, honestly.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- 140.- I've had four of them and each one has sold for 180.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57This is the last one.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Right.- Shall we just do it?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03- We're not going to make any money on anything anyway.- Erm...
0:22:03 > 0:22:04That's not the attitude!
0:22:04 > 0:22:08What are you here for? I think it would be the best life decision
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- I'd ever make.- OK.- I want it.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Yeah?- You want it?- 140.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- She's getting it.- I would shake the man's hand, then. Go for it.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- I really like it.- A lady of quality.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23I don't think I've ever bought anything quite as wacky as this.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Wow. Amazing. Right, we've got all three items,
0:22:26 > 0:22:31we've done it in plenty of time, and after buying that, I think I need to
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- go and have a lie down.- Yes. - Come on.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36I don't blame you at all, Raj!
0:22:36 > 0:22:38But the Reds seem very happy with their final purchase.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42£140 paid for this unusual fairground car.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44What can I say?
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Meanwhile, with ten minutes left,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49the Blues are still searching for their third item.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Do wooden boxes do well?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Wooden boxes can do well. They're useful, aren't they,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57and with nine minutes to go, I think we should have a look at it.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- OK. 45 quid.- Good spot, George.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Let's have a little look inside.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03So you've got a hinged lid.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06It's nice. Be a nice child's toy box or something.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I like that, because it just looks very authentic.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Yes, I think it certainly looks authentic.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Now, in terms of its age,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I'm sure we can talk to the owner who will perhaps give us an indication.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21It's based on a 19th-century model.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I mean, these chests were made for travel.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25They were made for overseas travel.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28A lot of it on the seas.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32So this is based on an early 19th-century seaman's trunk.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I suspect that this has been made up of old wood,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38but in an earlier style.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41It is a nice size.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43It's practical and, yeah,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45I can see it being used for a lot of different uses.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49But what grabbed your attention, though, I think, was the price, was it not, George?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Price, but also something my mum would like -
0:23:52 > 0:23:54and if my mum likes it, it's got to be good.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Oh, I think you've answered your own question there.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Well, look, shall we have a conversation with the owner?
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Hello, there, sir, you all right? - Hello.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07- Hello, sir. Right.- Yes, we've got limited time and money,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09so we're hoping you can help us out with this.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- 35.- What about 28?
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- Last, last, last bargain of the day. - Go on, for a nice-looking couple
0:24:15 > 0:24:18- like us.- 32.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21We've got to meet in the middle. 30, surely. Go on, then.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Yes?- Oh, thank you. - Thank you, sir.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25PHONE RINGS
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Hello? I've got it.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30Right, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31So, I think this deserves...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- A high five.- It does, indeed.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36- Well done. Let's go, guys.- Let's go.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Now, let's check out what the Red team have bought.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42First up, the Reds paid £20 for this black first aid box.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47Will they sink or swim with this reproduction US Navy diving helmet?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49£120 paid.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51And...
0:24:51 > 0:24:52HORN BEEPS
0:24:52 > 0:24:55..will they drive away with a win in this fairground carousel car?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57They paid £140.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Katie and Ed, spend, spend, spend, and you haven't left him much money,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- have you?- No!
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- Extraordinary items, too. - Didn't plan to.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Diver's helmet?- Yeah. - Loving it?- Yes.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Love it, yeah. - Well, we have to, now.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12You've been left with no option, frankly.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Yeah.- But, the car... - Yeah.- I mean, the car is enormous.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- There's a slight regret, on it, I think.- A little bit.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Raj, what do you think of these items?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I don't understand why they say they were disappointed with it now.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24They were so keen on that car.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27I mean, I've bought some wacky things, Charlie, as you know,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30but this is pretty close to the biscuit, as they say.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Well, if by any chance any of them should make a profit,
0:25:33 > 0:25:36- which will make the biggest profit? - The car.- The car.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Is that your favourite lot?- Erm, no,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I actually do really like the diver's helmet.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42- You like the diver's helmet?- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45I've tried it on and it's a nice fit. It's a shame it has to go.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47- And the same for you?- No, I think the car, probably.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50- Yeah?- Yeah.- What, will make the biggest money?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Make the biggest money, yeah. - I'm proud of you for spending £280,
0:25:53 > 0:25:54which only leaves £20.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Yes.- Could I have it, please?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Yeah, OK. What are you going to do with it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I'll tell you exactly what I'm going to do with it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02I'm going to give it to Raj.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Lovely.- Wow.- The question is, what is Raj going to do with it?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- Let me see if I can get a steering wheel or something like that! - Steering wheel.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11So while Raj goes off to buy a steering wheel,
0:26:11 > 0:26:15let's check out what the Blue team has bought.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18The Blues took a £40 gamble on this roulette wheel.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22They are hoping that this Edwardian silver table mirror will be a clear
0:26:22 > 0:26:25winner for £25.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30And finally, a 19th-century style wooden trunk, all boxed up for £30.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Minna and George, now, don't you like spending money?
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- No, we're stingy students. - Stingy students!- What do you expect?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- What's your favourite lot? - The mirror, just because it reminds me of my grandma.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43She always had one on her dressing table.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Oh, lovely.- So I thought that was quite a nice thing.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- Happy memories, and it wasn't that dear, was it?- No, no, exactly. - £25?- Yeah, yeah.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50- Fantastic. George? - It would have to be the box.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53It's robust. It's a nice colour and I got it for nothing.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56What about that? You can't fail, can you?
0:26:56 > 0:26:57- No.- Will that make the biggest profit?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00No, I think I'm going to go with the mirror for the profit because it's
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- very pretty.- And Minna, you think the same?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Yeah, I think the same. I mean,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06I do think the roulette wheel could possibly,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08it just depends if the right buyer's there on the day.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11It depends on which number comes up, really, doesn't it, Richard?
0:27:11 > 0:27:14It's all a bit of a gamble, Charlie, but they bought three good lots.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15So you spent...
0:27:15 > 0:27:17£95.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20So there's 205 to hand over.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- There you go.- Oh. Thank you very much. I will give this to you.
0:27:23 > 0:27:29- Here we go.- Well, I'm either going to go out and blow a lot of it or I
0:27:29 > 0:27:32might just have to play it safe.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37So while Richard wrestles with indecision, we're off to the auction.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Well, it's not far from Detling to Canterbury, and in Canterbury,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I've come to the Canterbury Auction Galleries and I'm here with the
0:27:50 > 0:27:51auctioneer, Cleona.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Hello.- Hello.- Very nice to see you.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Well, it's great to be here.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58We've got rather an eclectic mix for you, I have to say.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Now, starting with the Red team, Katie and Ed.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03The first thing they have is a first aid box.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I'm not quite sure why, but we do have.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well, put your first aid equipment in it, and you'll be happy.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13But as a box on its own, I've rated it somewhere between £5 and £10.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I think that's a pretty spot-on estimate, if I may say so.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18They paid £20 for it.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22- OK.- We're moving on to a diver's helmet but it is a reproduction one,
0:28:22 > 0:28:23- isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27And, you know, there is a bit of a collectors' market for these.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Obviously for the old ones, but, you know, people do still look to
0:28:30 > 0:28:35acquire these to kit out interiors or use them on sets or whatever.
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Yeah.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39I mean, you can buy new ones online from companies for a few hundred
0:28:39 > 0:28:43pounds, so this one, at sort of £40-50, is surely worth it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47I hope it is, because they paid 120 for it.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Oh, did they?- Yeah. - Let's see how we get on.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Fingers crossed. Now, have you ever sold a carousel car before?
0:28:54 > 0:28:56I can't say I have.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58It's a fairly full-sized piece, this.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01It's for the person who has everything, really, isn't it?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- Yeah.- It's big, it's bright, it's colourful.- Yeah.- Slightly wacky.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07It's got to be £50-70.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Well, look, they paid £140 for it.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- OK, yes.- Quite a lot of money, isn't it?
0:29:11 > 0:29:13It is, yeah. It doesn't surprise me.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Whether we'll get to that dizzy height or not, we'll have to wait and see.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20We'll see. Do you know, I think I feel a bonus buy coming on?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Let's have a look at it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Katie and Ed, you didn't leave the great Raj with much money, did you?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Didn't plan on doing so! - You didn't want to risk it, did you?
0:29:29 > 0:29:32No, I see money, I spend it.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37- And what have you done, Raj?- Well, as you know, I only had £20 but...
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- OK.- Newspaper, nice.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's not just a newspaper.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- I get one every morning on the train.- OK...
0:29:44 > 0:29:46It's not just a newspaper.
0:29:46 > 0:29:50It's the first edition of The Cartoonist, came out in 1993,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- April Fools' Day.- The 1st of April. - Unfortunately, this newspaper
0:29:53 > 0:29:56only came out for eight months, and then it went bust.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Yeah.- But it's in great condition.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00It's a first edition.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's a collectable of the future, without a doubt.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Well, how much did you spend on it because it says £1.20?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08Yeah, that was in 1993.
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- OK, fair enough. - I actually paid only £5 for it.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13OK, that doesn't seem too bad.
0:30:13 > 0:30:17And at £5, this should make at auction £20-40.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Oh, OK.- It should do.- That's quite an optimistic kind of, yeah...
0:30:20 > 0:30:22That's what I think it should make.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Well, you don't have to decide now, of course.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26- Right. OK. Cool.- You can think about it, mull it over,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29and during the auction, that's when you'll have to make the decision.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33- Yeah.- Meanwhile, I wonder what the auctioneer thinks of The Cartoonist?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35It's unusual.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37The so-called Cartoonist.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Yeah.- I mean, it's quite a fun publication but I couldn't find
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- a huge amount of them...- No.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44..that have actually come onto the market.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- Yeah.- So I've only put £5-10 on it.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50I think that's very realistic. He only paid £5 for it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- OK.- So he might be all right, mightn't he?
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Well, that's the Reds done. Now the Blues, Minna and George.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57They were with Richard and they kicked off with a roulette wheel.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I love roulette!
0:30:59 > 0:31:03- A bit of a gambler? - In a very modest way.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05It's great fun, isn't it?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09- Yeah.- I mean, it's a fantastic, sort of, home gambler's bit of kit,
0:31:09 > 0:31:11really, with the cloth as well.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13We have put £10-15 on it.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Yeah, they paid £40.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19I think for £40, I'd want one in rather nice, polished wood,
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- wouldn't you?- Well, that would be nice but I suppose, maybe,
0:31:22 > 0:31:26not everybody's pocket can extend to that and it is a good, dinky size.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28So you never know.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- We might just reach that.- And if I were to spin it, and I'm not going
0:31:31 > 0:31:36- to, what would be your number? - 29.- 29. You said that very quickly.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39- The birthday!- My favourite number is 32, so perhaps it will make £32.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Oh, we'll keep our fingers crossed.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43It would be a modest lot, wouldn't it?
0:31:43 > 0:31:48Now, the mirror, I think we've got a bit of a difference in dating, here.
0:31:48 > 0:31:52I think they thought it was Edwardian but you have discovered otherwise, haven't you?
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Yeah, the hallmarks on it would indicate that it's 1978.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00- Right, as late as that? - But it is very Victorian/Edwardian
0:32:00 > 0:32:04in style, with the embossed decoration, so, it's a dressing
0:32:04 > 0:32:07table mirror, obviously, from a dressing table set,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10where you would have had the mirror, the brushes.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11- Yeah, yeah.- Clothes brushes, etc.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14So we now just have one item and as a single item,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16I've only put £5-£8 on it.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19Yeah, now, they paid £25, which I think is a bit of an old-fashioned
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- price, really.- Yeah. It's in good condition, and, you know,
0:32:23 > 0:32:24we'll just have to wait and see.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27And the third item, very different to the mirror, was the box.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- The pine box.- Yeah, very different indeed. Big pine box.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- Yeah.- Yes. A good storage unit.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- Yeah.- And that's really all I can say, at £10-15.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38They are saleable enough, though, aren't they?
0:32:38 > 0:32:40It might make 20 or £30, possibly.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- Yeah, yeah.- They paid 30.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- OK.- They didn't spend a lot of money but with the leftover lolly,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48let's have a look at what Richard's bought.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Minna and George, you left this man, Mr Madley,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55with a huge amount of money. Come on, Richard. Thrill them.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- What have you got? - No pressure, then.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Well, I thought, a sporting couple right the way through,
0:32:59 > 0:33:03I have to go and buy a sporting object.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Oh!- Oh, look, I got a...- Love it.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10- A "love it" from George, and Minna, I was...- Hmmm...
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Well, let me tell you what I bought you.
0:33:12 > 0:33:18I bought a continental, patinated bronzed figure of a rugby player.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21So, in style, it could be 1930s.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Maybe it's made a little bit later,
0:33:23 > 0:33:25it could be from the '50s or even the '60s.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27But it's got movement.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29It's got a bit of style about it.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- You like rugby, George? - I do. My old dad would love that.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Would he? There you go. Is he coming to the auction today?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- No.- Minna, you look slightly reserved.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Yeah, how much did you spend of our massive amount of money?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Ah, the money. Well, originally it was being offered at £90,
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I got him down to £60.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- OK.- Hard bargainer. - I learned from you, George.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52So are you going to ask me the question?
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Do you think it will sell?
0:33:54 > 0:33:56THEY LAUGH
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Great question, indeed.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Yes, it's going to sell.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Now, is it going to make a profit? I hope so. I'd bet...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05But don't bank too much on it.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07There could be ten or £20 left in it.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Minna, you don't have to make up your mind now but I've got a bit of inkling as to what
0:34:10 > 0:34:12you think of this rugby player.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14I quite like it, though. It's got bags of movement, hasn't it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- Don't you think so, George? - Yeah, absolutely. It looks like it's got a bit of a shimmy in it.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21A bit of a shimmy! Well, let's see if the auctioneer thinks that
0:34:21 > 0:34:24the rugby player has got a bit of a shimmy in him.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30Well, Richard Madley is mad keen on sport and there is the living proof.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34In the bronzed spelter, he is a bronzed spelter as opposed to bronze.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- Yeah, yeah. - He's a good subject, isn't he?
0:34:37 > 0:34:41- Yes.- The rugby player in motion with a nice verdigris finish to him.
0:34:41 > 0:34:46He's just not terribly old, and as a result, we have put £10-15 on him.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Right, he's going to be disappointed with that as an estimate.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But hopefully it will make a bit more because he paid £60.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56You think he's overcooked it, don't you?
0:34:56 > 0:34:59Well, I'm just being a little bit wary about the modern nature and the material.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02Hopefully, the sporting enthusiasts will emerge.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Yeah, yeah. You'll be taking the sale?
0:35:04 > 0:35:05- I will, yes.- Good, good.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Well, we look forward to this and let's hope this figure takes us
0:35:08 > 0:35:10over the line.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13700. 720. 70 it is for you.
0:35:13 > 0:35:1580 I'm bid. Selling.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17Right, you two, are you pent up with emotion?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- Can't control myself.- Exactly, yeah.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21I'm going to lose it.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22You've got a first aid box to start.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24We did. I just liked the look of it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Yeah. I think it will do well.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Here it comes.- Who will start me here at £5?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32Thank you. Five I'm bid, looking for the ten, any interest at £10?
0:35:32 > 0:35:36£5 it is, then, selling at £5, if we're done.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38£10, straight in on the internet.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Hang on... It's a tenner!

0:42:02 > 0:42:06and taking absolutely no advice from Richard whatsoever,
0:42:06 > 0:42:07you've only lost a tenner.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11So, marvellous. Anyway, don't discuss it with the Red team.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Goodness knows who has won and who has lost!
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Well, just occasionally on Bargain Hunt,
0:42:21 > 0:42:24both teams lose money, and that's what's happened this time.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27One team have lost a smidgen, the other team have lost, frankly,
0:42:27 > 0:42:29in my terms, a fortune.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33And the runners-up are today, the Red team.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Well done, the Red team!
0:42:35 > 0:42:37My goodness, did you lose money!

0:42:40 > 0:42:46But thanks to your wonderful expert, you only lost 185.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Anyway, Blues, you did thumpingly well,
0:42:48 > 0:42:50you were going for a golden gavel at one stage, weren't you?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52And then you lost on that box.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55A great shame. So, as it was, you only lost £10.
0:42:55 > 0:42:57So, well done for only losing £10!
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Happy with that, yeah.- My word.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01- You had a good time? - Brilliant, yeah.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03- Marvellous. You've enjoyed it? - Thinking about it. - Despite everything?
