0:00:02 > 0:00:03BRASS BAND PLAYS 'We're in Devon today
0:00:03 > 0:00:05'for an antiques fair at the Westpoint Arena,'
0:00:05 > 0:00:08which is why I'm proudly marching with the flag of Devon.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12The design was chosen by local people
0:00:12 > 0:00:14and officially adopted in 2006.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18But I'll be pledging allegiance to another flag today.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49So, the Bargain Hunt colours are flying proudly here in Devon.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Here's hoping that our Red and Blue teams don't flag today.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Let's take a look at what's in store.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01The search for antiques becomes painful for the Reds.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02What price is on it?
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- 145.- Ouch!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10And the Blues find out Bargain Hunting can be heartbreaking.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Oh, team, a bit of bad news.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13- BOTH:- Oh.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17But our teams are all smiles down at the auction.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18THEY CHEER
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Ohh!
0:01:21 > 0:01:23But that's all coming up later on.
0:01:23 > 0:01:24For now, it's time to meet the teams
0:01:24 > 0:01:27and we're keeping it in the family on Bargain Hunt today.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29For the Reds we have sisters Sue and Rachel
0:01:29 > 0:01:33and for the Blues we have married couple Sue and Barry.
0:01:33 > 0:01:34- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37So, we'll start with you, Reds, and straight to you, Rachel.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Now, tell me, you both love art
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- but that was directly involved in your career, wasn't it?- It was.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I worked at Sidmouth College
0:01:45 > 0:01:48as an art technician in the art department,
0:01:48 > 0:01:49which was really lovely.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52OK, so you say "worked" past tense, so you're now retired?
0:01:52 > 0:01:54I've finished, yes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- "I completed it!"- I've definitely finished for the time being.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Definitely. Yes. - OK, so what you do now?
0:01:59 > 0:02:02I still spend a lot of time painting, which I really enjoy.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04What's your subject matter?
0:02:04 > 0:02:06At the moment, it's mostly cows.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08- Oh, really?- Yeah.- OK.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13We have a field that is right next to our house that has lots of cows.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15- Mm-hmm.- So there's lots and lots that I can use
0:02:15 > 0:02:17for drawing material from that.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18So, Sue, art must run in the family
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- because you are a professional artist, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26The last seven years I've spent painting full-time.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Now, it must be fantastic to work as an artist
0:02:28 > 0:02:30because not only do you get to set your own hours
0:02:30 > 0:02:31and paint what you love,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34but you also get to mingle in high circles sometimes,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36because I believe you have a famous collector?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Well, the...
0:02:38 > 0:02:44the director of Absolutely Fabulous bought an original
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and then bought a print
0:02:46 > 0:02:49as a birthday present for Jennifer Saunders.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Oh, how cool is that?! - Yeah. That is cool, yes.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It would have been nice to meet her, wouldn't it?
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It would have been nice to have met her, yes.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Yes.- So, tell me, do you think you're going to work well as a team?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- I think we would.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Yes, I think we would. - Yeah.- Time will tell.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Time will tell.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- Yes.- Yes.- I'll leave you to mull that over,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I'm going to turn to the Blues.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13So, Barry, I'd love to hear how you and Sue met.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16We met at a drop-in centre, which was run by a local church.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Sue used to come regular and always had
0:03:19 > 0:03:23what seemed like a herd of children and it actually turned out,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25when I sort of delved a little bit further,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29she was actually a foster parent and childminder.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33So she actually only had three children.
0:03:33 > 0:03:34- More manageable.- More manageable.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Except when we did finally get together,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Sue found out that I had five children.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44OK, so we're on eight at the moment.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45That's right, yes.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Yes, we had eight and that's expanded now
0:03:47 > 0:03:50because we've also got ten grandchildren.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Tell me, how on earth
0:03:51 > 0:03:54do you keep all of these children and grandchildren in check?
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Do you have any special tricks up your sleeve?
0:03:56 > 0:04:02A few. One, I love repairing things, absolutely love repairing,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and the children think I can repair anything.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08So every time we see them it is, "Grandad, can you repair this?"
0:04:08 > 0:04:10And your love of repairing things and mending things
0:04:10 > 0:04:12comes from your career as a carpenter?
0:04:12 > 0:04:13That's how it started, yes,
0:04:13 > 0:04:17then I got into electronics for a friend, so combining the two, yeah,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I'll have a go at most things.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So, Sue, tell me about your life as a foster parent.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I was a foster parent for over 30 years.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27And I loved it.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29It was the best thing in my life, really.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Because I got such a joy from having, well, over 100 kids, really.
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Really, over 100?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Yeah. Well, over 30 years, you see.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Most of the time I'd have them for two or three years
0:04:40 > 0:04:42before they either moved on,
0:04:42 > 0:04:46back to their families or on to adoption.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50So tell me about your time as a team on Bargain Hunt.
0:04:50 > 0:04:51How do you think it's going to go?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I think we work really well together and I think the main reason
0:04:54 > 0:04:56is we've got different ideas and different views.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59And we're good at talking about things, aren't we?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01And sort of advising and helping each other, so...
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- Yeah.- I'm hopeful.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Well, it sounds like you've got some tactics and that's one thing,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07but cold, hard cash is another.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10So, let me give £300 to you, Reds,
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and £300, just to be fair, to you, Blues.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- Thank you.- Your experts can't wait to meet you, so off you go.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Get in amongst it.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Well, it's happy families for now.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Let's see if that's still the case at the end of the show.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28So, our teams are raring to go and so are their experts.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Tending to the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37And keeping an eye on those Blues, it's Gary Pe.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39What are we looking for today, Sue?
0:05:39 > 0:05:44Oh, something that's really beautifully made, handcrafted.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46What are we going for today?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Something retro, maybe, or... - OK, retro.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Walking sticks. - Yeah, I like a good walking stick.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54It would be lovely to find something that's rustic.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Maybe Chinese, if it's within our price range.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Well, there we go.- Yeah, lovely face. Arts and Crafts?
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Arts and Crafts.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Stand by, teams, your 60 minutes start now.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- Let's get started.- OK.
0:06:06 > 0:06:0960 minutes, it does seem like a really long time,
0:06:09 > 0:06:10but when you're searching,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13you'll be really surprised how quick that 60 minutes goes.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Well, don't stand around chatting, Danny, sniff out those bargains!
0:06:18 > 0:06:21If anything grabs your attention, just point it out.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25What are you thinking, ladies? I'm getting...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27You're getting me all worried, Rachel!
0:06:27 > 0:06:29You've gone quiet on me.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I have. There's so much to take in and have a look at.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34The thing is not to panic.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- Arts and Crafts.- Yes.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40I like this.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- Pewter, is it?- Yes, it's lovely.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47I love it because it's got the blue stone on the front.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Yes, this sort of cabochon, it's almost Ruskin ceramics.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- Yes, it's lovely. - Is there a date on it?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Well, that would be about 1900, 1910.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00And it's from Sheffield.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Craftsmen pewter.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03But at 145, that's overpriced.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Yes, OK, bit too rich.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08I think we can find something else.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11That's the way, Blues, be decisive.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12That goes for you, too, Reds.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Walking sticks.- Oh, yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19There's a couple of nice little ones down here.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21They're rather sweet.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22- That's a crop.- Yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24No, not sure about those.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29If you're not sure, move on. There's plenty to see.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Those pretty little tables? Or is that...?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36They're sort of stools, aren't they?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Yeah, they're cute, those, I like those.
0:07:39 > 0:07:40125.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Still quite expensive, isn't it?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45For what? It's got dual purpose, I suppose.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47You could even put a plant on it.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- But, then...- Yeah, they're very...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- But then you'd lose the pattern.- Yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Which is what it is all about. - Exactly.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, it's a no to the stools.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Back to the Reds.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00The hare is so beautiful!
0:08:00 > 0:08:05- It looks like a bit of bronze to me. - Right.
0:08:05 > 0:08:10Yeah, I do find that, really, at £295, it's all its money, really.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13We could ask the vendor what's the best price he's going to give us.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Who knows? We might be lucky. If you really like the piece.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18I think it's worth asking.
0:08:18 > 0:08:19- OK.- We could try.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22We really love your hare.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- Yes, I can understand that. - It's very beautiful.- It is.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26And we were just wondering
0:08:26 > 0:08:30what sort of price you could think of doing, your very lowest price?
0:08:30 > 0:08:31What if I said 250?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34I don't think we can afford that.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Let's bear it in mind. - Yes.- We'll have a think.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I know you've got a thing for animals, ladies,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42but you're right to put the hare on the back burner.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That's a lot of cash to spend early on.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Now, how are the Blues doing with their shopping list?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well, it's a bit of Arts and Crafts for you.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Not as elaborate as some Arts and Crafts pieces would be.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58- No, very basic.- But still, that's the whole principle, though,
0:08:58 > 0:09:02of Arts and Crafts. You know, keep it simple, show the construction.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Yes.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06And this is obviously handmade.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09And it's got something military inside the frame.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Royal Air Force in it, I can see.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yes, which didn't belong to the frame originally.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- But still, that could add to the value.- Could that be removed,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20so you've got that and you could put something else in there?
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- You can, exactly.- Possibility.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24No reason not to sell it together.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26What are we talking about here?
0:09:28 > 0:09:3065?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The best I could do is 55.
0:09:32 > 0:09:33- 55?- Hm.- 45?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38I'll split the difference, 50.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- 49.- I ain't going to cry over a pound.
0:09:45 > 0:09:46- BARRY:- I think it's worth a try
0:09:46 > 0:09:48because you've got two things there.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah, Arts and Crafts and the military.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- Yeah?- I think we've got our first buy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- That's it.- Well done.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Thank you very much.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Two for the price of one. I like it! And so does Gary.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05So, team, first buy of the day, two to go, let's find those two items.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Lovely.- OK.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09You've got 50 minutes to do it in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Now, what have the Reds been drawn to?
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Anything at all you see you like? There's some lovely bits here.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Those are very pretty, over there.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- The drawers?- Yes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- They're a nice-looking set, they are.- Yes.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23I mean, what price is on it?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25- 145.- Ouch!
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- What do you think? - I think it's lovely.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32I think it would be much more acceptable
0:10:32 > 0:10:35if it was less money, naturally, but we'd be...
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- And what does Sue think? - I think that's too...
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- I think it's a lot of money. - Yes, too much money, really.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Have we got a couple of penny-pinchers here?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48They seem to be hanging on tightly to their £300.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53Meanwhile, the Blues have £250 to spend on their next two items.
0:10:54 > 0:10:59You wanted a bit of Chinese, what do you think of these nesting tables?
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Very exciting. - Oh, they're Chinese, are they?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Yes, they are. They could be used as stands.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Yes.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08They could be used as side tables.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Yes.- What are they made of, do you think?
0:11:10 > 0:11:14They're made of a local Chinese wood, probably huanghuali.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Oh, what's...? I've never heard of huanghuali.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's sort of an oriental type of tree.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22You can see how well these have been carved.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23- The shape, yes, lovely.- By hand.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27But in this area, what are we looking at, sort of price-wise?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31I would have put them at 50 to 70.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I would like to see that as an auction estimate, yes.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37We need to find the dealer and see how...
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Let's have a look. Shall I do that?
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Yes, if you would.- Shall I go and see what the dealer has to say?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- OK.- Good luck, Gary! We'll come back to you in a bit.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51I will find something, but we'll have to move on pretty quickly.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Oh!- Oh!- What have you seen?
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- We like!- It is a bit quackers, that, isn't it?
0:11:59 > 0:12:00We like him.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02He's smiling. And what's the price on the ticket?
0:12:02 > 0:12:04The price is 32.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06- 32?- It's hazel.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- What is that? So it's hazel wood. - It's carved from a piece of hazel.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11You can see that it's been manufactured
0:12:11 > 0:12:15and then obviously the hazel wood's the stem, the stick itself.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17I mean, the top, not really sure,
0:12:17 > 0:12:20it could have even come off something else, a wooden duck,
0:12:20 > 0:12:22that's probably broken or got damaged,
0:12:22 > 0:12:24and they just took the head off and made it, you know,
0:12:24 > 0:12:25people are sort of upcycling
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and making things great these days out of nothing.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29So he may not be very old.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32The head might not be very old, no,
0:12:32 > 0:12:34but I don't think it comes with age with a walking stick.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36You know, if somebody really likes ducks,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39or if somebody's quite country, you know, if it's the right size.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44How tall...? Gosh, you've got to be tall!
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Hold on a minute! I thought you girls were country girls?!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51You don't hold this stick like this! Isn't this a thumb stick?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- It's not a walking stick! - No, it's not a walking stick!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I don't know exactly what they call them, but they're sort of...
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Like a cane... Well, no, not a cane.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'm walking away from this conversation
0:13:02 > 0:13:04and heading back to the Blues,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06who are about to get a very surprising update
0:13:06 > 0:13:08on the Chinese tables.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Team, a bit of bad news.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Oh, dear.- I don't think that the dealer wants to sell them
0:13:13 > 0:13:15because they're very useful as display stands.
0:13:15 > 0:13:16He's got them as display.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- OK.- I wondered, seeing the way she had them spread.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22No, absolutely, I do love them, they're beautiful,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24- people do look for these things. - Of course.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- OK.- But it's not for us. Not today. - Well, we need to move on.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30We need to move on, time is ticking.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- It is, OK.- Let's go.- Thank you.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Well, as they were on a stand full of items,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'll forgive you for thinking they were up for sale.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Back to the Reds, and with 20 minutes gone,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42I wonder if they'll finally spend some money
0:13:42 > 0:13:44and fork out for the walking stick.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47We would really love to hear your best price.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Erm...25.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56If you could come down, a little bit off that,
0:13:56 > 0:13:58then we might be very persuaded.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04The best on that is going to be...22.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08I think that's quite a fair price, to be honest,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12and I think, at auction, we could be lucky and perhaps...
0:14:12 > 0:14:15£20 to £40 for that,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I think we might have a chance. It might have legs on it.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19It might even have wings!
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I like it very much. I'd very much like to buy it for 22.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25It's head over heart, isn't it, or heart over head,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27because I just think he's gorgeous.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- VENDOR:- It's a nice thing for someone to walk with.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31- Yes.- Have we got a deal?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- I think we've got a deal. - We'll have a deal.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Shake the man's hand, let's have a deal with him.- Thank you so much.
0:14:37 > 0:14:38Well, that's fantastic.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42That's one item in the bag, 25 minutes gone. Well done, ladies.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44So, each team has one item in the bag,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48and while they carry on shopping, I want to show you a special album.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50It has a unique story to tell.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Now, what do I have in front of me?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01A veritable tome of information!
0:15:01 > 0:15:05But it's not words that are contained within this book.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08In fact, this is an album containing pictures
0:15:08 > 0:15:11which, so famously, can each say 1,000 words.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16So, first of all, the spine has fallen off and here it is.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19So, whilst on the outside it looks European,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21it's what you would call Morocco bound, this style.
0:15:21 > 0:15:25On the inside, what belies its origin
0:15:25 > 0:15:27is this Chinese stamp, the Chinese characters.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30This album was purchased in the Far East.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Well, by whom?
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Likely it's been purchased by a Scottish soldier
0:15:35 > 0:15:37serving over in the Far East.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The album is inscribed in pencil here, "A Cuthbert",
0:15:40 > 0:15:43so we can assume that's to whom it belonged.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45And the first photograph proudly displayed here
0:15:45 > 0:15:48in black and white is of a Scottish regiment.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52So, I'm going to guess it was created by a Scottish soldier.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54Now, what's inside this album?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56Well, at first glance it looks very personal.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58There are, in fact, over 300 original
0:15:58 > 0:16:01black-and-white photographs in here.
0:16:01 > 0:16:06We've got some traditional Chinese ladies here, in their Chinese garb.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Military parades and exercises.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12And, in fact, even standard touristy stuff -
0:16:12 > 0:16:14monuments, archways, statues.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19So, whilst this album may seem very personal at first glance,
0:16:19 > 0:16:20A Cuthbert, whoever he was,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23didn't actually take these photographs -
0:16:23 > 0:16:27or, at least, I'm going to say the majority of these photographs.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29In fact, these original black-and-white photographs
0:16:29 > 0:16:33were produced en masse to be taken back to the West
0:16:33 > 0:16:35in albums such as these as souvenirs.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38So, what could an album like this be worth?
0:16:38 > 0:16:42I'm going to say £500 - £800.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44But what kind of market is there for such an album,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46who is going to buy it?
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Well, perhaps it'll be someone who knows who A Cuthbert was,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53or perhaps it'll be another who just simply appreciates
0:16:53 > 0:16:56the lost art of the 19th/20th century
0:16:56 > 0:16:59black-and-white souvenir album.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10There are less than 30 minutes left on the clock and the Reds and Blues
0:17:10 > 0:17:12are in search of items two and three.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And it looks like Gary has honed in
0:17:16 > 0:17:18on another item of Oriental interest.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21How do these grab you? There's a pair of them.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's called Satsuma ware.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- I've heard of that.- In the shape of sort of water pails.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- What would they be used for? - They're just purely decorative.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- Are they?- Or for flowers. - Oh, right.- Or even brushes, as well.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38That's what I thought of, artist's brushes.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- There's two of them here.- What sort of price are on those, Gary?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44120 for the two. So that's...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- Can I hold it, please, is that OK? - Yes, absolutely.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- I'm being careful. - What's the decoration in?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54That's sort of a gold and lacquer.
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Oh, right.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Something to consider.- And they are in good condition, both of them?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- That's what I was going to say, are they...?- Relatively.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03There's probably a bit of a minor chip over there.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- You can see that.- Yes,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08it's a bit of a sharp edge to it, but still, minor.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Well, all we can do, Gary, is ask for a price at this stage
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and see what your magic can...
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Well, Barry, shall you do the honours?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'll try, I'm quite happy to try.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Are you passing the buck there, Gary?
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Well, I just hope these are for sale.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Let's check in with the Reds.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Nest of tables are very beautiful.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30They're very nice.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- They look to be... - They'll be reproduction.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34They are reproduction, yes.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37But, I mean, that doesn't necessarily mean
0:18:37 > 0:18:38that they're not saleable.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Do you like the ducks? - Yes, but they're not very old.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- We're going to end up with lots of ducks.- I was going to say,
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- you've got a thing about ducks, haven't you?- Not really!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But her sister told me earlier she has a soft spot for cows,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52although I don't think you'll find many in here.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Now, how has Barry got on with the Satsuma ware?
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Due to that tiny bit of damage, I squeezed him down to 85,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02but that is... That was pushing it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05That means... 85, £42 each,
0:19:05 > 0:19:07you couldn't make this for £42.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Are we going for this?- I think so.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Yes, I think they're lovely.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's different, it's unusual and, at that price, it's worth a chance.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17OK, let's buy it and go for number three.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- I'll go and shake.- Lovely.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Bravo, Blues, you've got 20 minutes to find your last item.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Reds, you're on the hunt for two.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32We're really interested to know how much that would be.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33That's 120.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37It's not hallmarked, so we have to call it white metal.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- I see.- And it's a vesta case.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47It's got somebody's initials on it, which always detracts the price
0:19:47 > 0:19:52because it's been marked, so you'd probably want to polish it out.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55I just think at £120, to go to auction with it...
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- I think you're right.- ..and it not being silver, may just not...
0:19:58 > 0:20:02It's not perhaps the right step to take.
0:20:02 > 0:20:0515 minutes and counting, Reds. You need to get a wriggle on.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Back to the Blues and Barry the carpenter
0:20:07 > 0:20:10has taken a shine to some rustic woodwork.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17Looks like it's a bit of African wood.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Well patinated.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Yes.- So, it's not new.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27And this is probably made from just one piece of wood.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30It's got to be for either a child or for putting...
0:20:30 > 0:20:35It's something that women of the village would use
0:20:35 > 0:20:40to sit down in and sort of do their daily chores.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Right.- Can you see?
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Yes, to do the washing, or whatever, or peeling potatoes, or whatever.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47It's certainly a very interesting shape.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I've never seen it before.
0:20:50 > 0:20:51So, what do you think, Barry?
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Well, I like the way it's made,
0:20:53 > 0:20:56in the sense that we've got mortise and tenon joints.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57Exactly.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01It's probably early 20th century.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05For African furniture, that's old enough.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But I think, again, knowing our budget,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11it just depends on what the best price...
0:21:11 > 0:21:12Well, exactly.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Do you want to have a go this time?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- OK.- Use your...women's charm! - SUE LAUGHS
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Yes, you're pretty good.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Maybe if Sue uses her charms,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24you might end up getting it for nothing, gents!
0:21:24 > 0:21:29- Aw!- Aw!- We like him! - You like him, the old moo-moo.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I said you wouldn't find a cow at this fair,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34but I'll admit when I'm wrong.
0:21:34 > 0:21:35What's he made from?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- Well, I would think...- Or she made from?- ..it's a resin,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- and we've got, like, a mosaic glass.- Oh, I love it.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44There's no signature or anything. I bought it at an auction,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47and I can't say much about it apart from it's gorgeous.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yes, he is absolutely beautiful.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- What's the price?- 175.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54The bottom line I could give you is 160.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- I don't think...- No, that's fine, don't worry.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58I'm not going to force you to buy it.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I know, I know, but I want her.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01THEY LAUGH
0:22:01 > 0:22:05Sometimes, unusual, wacky works.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06- Yeah.- I must say that.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10We'd still need to get a really good price.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12That's what we're after.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- That's it.- That's definitely it? - It is. That is it. Sorry.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Well, you'd best get a MOOOve on, and decide sharpish.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20There's only ten minutes left
0:22:20 > 0:22:22and you still need to make two purchases.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Now, has Sue managed to charm the dealer on the chair?
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- How did you get on, Sue? - He wasn't going to move from £60,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30but I got him down to 50.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33Do you think that's pretty good?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- I would buy it.- Right, OK.- ..at 50.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- Do you like it? - Yeah, I do like it.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39I think it's really unusual.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- I like it.- So do I.- You like it.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- You like it.- And if you like it, that's all I need to know.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Well, I certainly would be proud to have this in my living room.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49- Fantastic.- That's good enough for us.- So, the price is right,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52we are all agreed, we buying it?
0:22:52 > 0:22:54- Yes.- That's item number three.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Brilliant.- It's a wrap.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Definitely.- Thank you.- Excellent!
0:22:58 > 0:23:00Let's go.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Cracking job, Blues, and with ten minutes left.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06I wish the Reds were as decisive as you are!
0:23:06 > 0:23:09They're still deciding on the £160 cow head.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13If it were me, I would buy it for my house.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- You'd buy it for your house. - I would now buy that.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- You would?- I would, but...
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Oof...
0:23:18 > 0:23:20- 155?- No.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22It's up to you, ladies.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- OK, shall we go for it? - You want to go for it?
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Yes, please.- Yes. We're going to go for it.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Well done, but there's no time to waste -
0:23:32 > 0:23:34you have less than five minutes to get your last buy.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41We've not got a lot of money and we've got very, very little time.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Is there anything at all that you've got that is extraordinary?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47What is it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It's called a wimble.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51A wimble is used for making straw rope
0:23:51 > 0:23:54to tie the stocks of corn around
0:23:54 > 0:23:56before they stack it in the field for drying.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- Are there collectors that would...? - Collect wimbles?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Yes.- Not really, but people collect treen
0:24:01 > 0:24:03or anything to do with farming implements.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05What's the best price?
0:24:05 > 0:24:07I'll do it for £35 for you.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09- £30?- I can't take £30.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11- You can't take 30. £35.- £35.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15I don't think we're too far out. We've got two minutes to go.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Yes, we'll go with it. - Shake the man's hand.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Thank you very much. That sounds great.- It's very unusual.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It's just that we haven't seen anything like it before,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- so we weren't sure. - Which might work.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26There's only one minute. Give us a shake.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27SHE BLOWS WHISTLE
0:24:27 > 0:24:30That's it, teams. Your 60 minutes are up.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33- Brilliant, girls.- Thank you. - We've done it, we've done it.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Just by the skin of our teeth, as well.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43Animal lovers Rachel and Sue went QUACKERS over the walking stick
0:24:43 > 0:24:45with duck's head. They paid £22.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51They continued the animal theme with this cow wall-hanging
0:24:51 > 0:24:52with a mosaic finish,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57but it definitely did not come for FRIEsian - £160 paid.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58And with minutes to spare,
0:24:58 > 0:25:02the pair rushed in and bought this iron wimble for £35.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Tell me, your hearts must have been pounding.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08We had no time. We took it to the wire.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11But we were saved at the end.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13- By a wimble.- Yes, by a wimble!
0:25:13 > 0:25:16But tell me, that big cow's head.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18We love the cow's head.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19Is it your favourite item?
0:25:19 > 0:25:20- Absolutely.- Yes.- Absolutely.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- It was really expensive. - It really did stand out.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Tell me, Rachel, which do you think
0:25:24 > 0:25:26is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- I'm really hopeful that the cow will.- OK.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31That would be really wonderful, as we love it so much.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34But I think, possibly, the wimble.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35I don't know.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37What did you spend in the end? Remind me.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- £217.- OK, quite a healthy sum,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42so £83 left.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Oh, look at that. Just there it is.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46So, 83 to me, but not for long.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Danny Sebastian, how are you going to play this?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Sue and Rachel wanted a bit of bling.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52We didn't buy any bling.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55It was all kind of farmyard-y, woody-type stuff,
0:25:55 > 0:25:58so I think I might go for something a little bit sparkling
0:25:58 > 0:25:59for this lovely pair.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02OK, well, while Danny goes on a bounty hunt for some bling,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Barry and Sue fell for the Arts and Crafts frame,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09featuring an RAF insignia.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11But will it take off at the auction?
0:26:11 > 0:26:12£49 paid.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The Blues fell for the pair of Satsuma baskets
0:26:16 > 0:26:19and got a decent discount. They cost them £85.
0:26:20 > 0:26:24And the hardwood, handmade chair spoke to Barry the carpenter,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27and they brought it for £50.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Sue, Barry, Gary, you got pretty much everything that you wanted.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Unusual, Arts and Crafts and Oriental.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Perfect. Absolutely perfect.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38So, Barry, which of those three did you prefer?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I actually like the Arts and Crafts frame with military badge,
0:26:41 > 0:26:43because I think there's two possibilities there -
0:26:43 > 0:26:46someone collecting military, someone collecting Arts and Crafts.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:26:49 > 0:26:53I'm not so sure. I think Sue's favourites may bring the profits.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56OK. So, Sue, tell us, which were your favourite items?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58I like the Satsuma pots.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00They're so intricate and beautiful patterns on them.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I just think they're absolutely beautiful.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And think... And I also think that they may bring the best profit.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08And you spent pretty well, too - 100 and something.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Remind me of the final sum.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- 184.- OK, pretty good.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- So, you've got...- I have.- ..£116.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19OK. That all-important nugget.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Right, Gary, £116.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Do you have any idea what you'll spend it on?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- I haven't got a clue. - Sounds interesting.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30But there's a lot of variety there,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34so I want to keep up this thing that we've got - different material,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37different periods, different continents,
0:27:37 > 0:27:39so just watch this space.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40Gary sounds positive.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42So let's hope that positivity continues
0:27:42 > 0:27:44as we head to Honiton for the auction.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53And we're setting up shop at Whittons auctioneers...
0:27:53 > 0:27:55with Edward Whitton.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57So, Edward, thank you for having us along.
0:27:57 > 0:27:59- Thank you for coming. - It's a real pleasure,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02especially because we have quite a mighty fine selection.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04A fine array.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Let's start off with Rachel and Sue's.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10And we'll start off with their walking stick.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Now, as far as duck walking sticks go, this is the cream of the crop,
0:28:13 > 0:28:14isn't it? It's a good one.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Absolutely. Best I've ever seen.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It's a bit reproduction, a little bit made up, I think.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20You've got a bit of beech as the actual stick,
0:28:20 > 0:28:25and then mahogany face, and it's just a bit of a put-together job.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Do you think it was pieced together by an amateur?
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Yeah. Absolutely.- OK, and as such, is that reflected in the estimate?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Yep, 20 to 30.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Well, the sisters won't mind that at all
0:28:35 > 0:28:37because they only paid £22,
0:28:37 > 0:28:41which I've just realised is two ducks in a row! Sitting ducks, £22!
0:28:41 > 0:28:43It's all working out nicely.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46So, let's stick with our animal theme.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I'll bet, I'll wager that at Whittons auction house
0:28:49 > 0:28:52you've never sold a Friesian cow head of this style before.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54I'll bet there's not many auction houses
0:28:54 > 0:28:57that have sold a Friesian cow head like that.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59Well, it's made of fibreglass...
0:28:59 > 0:29:01probably in the last 20 years.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05It's got the crackle-ware mosaic-type effect.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08But it's not in great condition.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11So, hence, it reflects the estimate, 60 to 80.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15OK, well, the ladies love their farmyard animals,
0:29:15 > 0:29:20and they were prepared to pay £160 for this prize beast.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22So, item number three, Edward - I'm a bit of a city girl,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25so educate me a little bit here.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26What on earth is a wimble?
0:29:26 > 0:29:30I think it's for tightening twine on, perhaps, bales,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33straw bales, something like that.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36But what do you do with it these days?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38It's a decorator's item. Perhaps hang it on the wall.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- What do you think it's worth? - I'd put 20 to £30 on it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43OK. Well, the ladies paid £35.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Oh, OK.- So, really, it's all about this cow,
0:29:46 > 0:29:50and I think you're going to have to milk it when you're on the rostrum!
0:29:50 > 0:29:52So, just in case the Reds need their bonus buy,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55let's find out what Danny bought.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- Well, Sue, Rachel, you spent quite well during the shop...- Yes.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01..leaving Danny only £83.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Go on, Danny, reveal all.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Look at that little beauty. - That's very pretty.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11A lovely Victorian little cabochon scarf pin...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Oh, OK.- ..with a garnet stone.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15It's got a little twist, as well, as you can see on the pin.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19If you look closely, you can just see a little twist in the metalwork.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- It would look really pretty. - I think it's pretty, yeah.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24How much did you pay for it?
0:30:24 > 0:30:25I paid £40.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29- OK.- But I think there's still plenty of room in an auction.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31So, what would you think that would...?
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I'd like to see that achieve somewhere between
0:30:34 > 0:30:3660, maybe even a little bit more.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39- Excellent.- All right.- We like it. - We'll give it some thought.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Well, while the ladies give it some thought,
0:30:42 > 0:30:43let's find out what Ed, our auctioneer,
0:30:43 > 0:30:45thinks about Danny's stick pin.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50It's not gold, but do you think it glitters?
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Yes. A typical bit of Victoriana, with the cabochon stone,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55the cabochon, which is French for polish,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58which is just blatant polished stone, not unusual.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It's nice and clean. Nice original old box, which helps it along.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04OK, and what kind of estimate are you going to place on the bonus buy?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06£20 to £30.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09OK, well, Danny has not done too badly, then.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11- He bought it for £40, this stick pin.- OK.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13So, he'll be quite happy with your estimate.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- Good.- Because we're hoping for a good competition
0:31:15 > 0:31:17- and a wee bit of profit.- Yeah.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20OK, that's another thing that the Blues will be hoping for - profit.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25So, let's start off with our RAF insignia in this brass frame here.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- Yeah.- I mean, it wouldn't originally have been on this bit of fabric,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- would it?- No, it probably would have been on a jacket at some stage
0:31:30 > 0:31:33- and the jacket's gone into disrepair.- Yes, it's quite sweet.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- Yeah.- Obviously the two - you can tell by the size -
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- didn't really go together originally.- No.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40So, someone, the dealer, has pieced together
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- the frame and the insignia.- Yeah.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46And have you put an estimate that the Blues are going to like on it?
0:31:46 > 0:31:4730 to 50.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Well, as a team they paid £49.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- OK.- And that was very much led by Gary, so that one's on their expert.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57So, turning to item number two - typical Satsuma style,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00but in the form of baskets. So, what do you think of this pair?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02They're nice, typical of their type.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04Nice and clean.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05But they're cracked.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07They have slight damage and restoration,
0:32:07 > 0:32:08which doesn't help them along.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- What sort of estimate have you got?- 50 to 80.
0:32:11 > 0:32:1550 to 80. Well, actually, they paid £85.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19So, we'll really have to keep our fingers crossed for that lot.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- Yep.- Now, let's move on to something completely different.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24We've got this Continental chair.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26It's quite a nice style, to be fair.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- But...bit uncomfortable. - A wee bit uncomfortable,
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- but miniature furniture does...- It does.- ..have a place in the market.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36Yeah, it does, very much so, and it's quite rustic, as well.
0:32:36 > 0:32:37I think it will sell.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- And what kind of estimate have you put on this?- 40 to 60.
0:32:39 > 0:32:4340 to 60. OK, well, the team paid slap bang in the middle - £50 -
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- so they won't be too upset at all. - No, no.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48But they might be in the red,
0:32:48 > 0:32:53so if they are, let's see what Gary bought as a bonus buy.
0:32:53 > 0:32:58Sue, Barry, you left Gary quite a good amount of money - £116.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Gary, show us what you've bought.
0:33:01 > 0:33:06Well, I thought I'd get something from the North American continent.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Something that has a big name attached to it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10- Wow.- Oh.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13Tiffany & Company.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19And more importantly, there's a name, a designer, attached to this.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21- Yes.- A very important designer.- Yes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25Elsa Peretti, who used to be a fashion model in the '60s.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27- Is it silver?- It is silver.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29- Sterling.- Oh, lovely.- Elsa Peretti.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31- Is it all right to hold it, Gary?- Yes, absolutely.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32How much was it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- 75.- Oh, right.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- So, two big names...- Yeah. - Elsa Peretti and Tiffany.- Tiffany.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40I love the design.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Gary, do you have high hopes for it in the auction?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44I'd expect it, if it was catalogued properly,
0:33:44 > 0:33:48to fetch in the region of £90 to £100.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51It couldn't be better, because we wanted something with a name,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53you know, one of the names which we couldn't find.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- You found it. - That name couldn't be bigger.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- No, not really, no. - Absolutely fabulous.- Beautiful.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- And functional.- Yes, that's it. It's got the dual purpose, hasn't it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03It's very stylish.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I'm sure it's something you'd like to own, Natasha.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I would, but whether or not I want to own it is not relevant.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11It's time to find out if our auctioneer, Ed,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15thinks that his buyers will want to own this Tiffany pen.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Here we have Gary's bonus buy,
0:34:18 > 0:34:19and I think he's done pretty well.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22He's got Tiffany & Co. Lovely pen. What do you reckon?
0:34:22 > 0:34:27Yes, it's clean, it's all 925 silver marked.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It's in a fitted box with the sleeve.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Pretty well as new, ideal present for someone, possibly.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35OK, so, sounds like you've got quite high hopes for it.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36What do you reckon it's going to make?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39I'd put a conservative effort of 40 to 60,
0:34:39 > 0:34:40but I'm hoping it will make more.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43OK, well, so will Gary, because he paid £75 for it.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46But fingers crossed, because it's all about competition with this one,
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- isn't it?- Yes.- It could be a battle of the buyers.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Absolutely.- OK, well, as you'll be taking the auction today
0:34:51 > 0:34:53you'll be hoping for plenty of battles amongst the buyers.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Yeah, points mean prizes!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Well, fingers crossed there'll be lots of scoring all round!
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Rachel, Sue, the time has come.- I know.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You're faced with the auctioneer
0:35:10 > 0:35:14and the prospect of making or losing some money. How are you feeling?
0:35:14 > 0:35:15Really excited.
0:35:15 > 0:35:19- Quite nervous.- I'm nervous as well, but, yeah, really excited.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Now, we're starting with the walking stick.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- You both love that.- OK, yeah. - It's not really on anyone's head
0:35:25 > 0:35:27- if it doesn't make any money, right?- No.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Here it comes.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31What are we? 20 to start me?
0:35:31 > 0:35:3320, 15 I have. 16.
0:35:33 > 0:35:3518, 20...
0:35:35 > 0:35:37- Two...- We are in profit!
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- Four?- My goodness.- Six?
0:35:39 > 0:35:41At £24. 6 anywhere else?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44At £24, gone on.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Quack-quack! We've made a profit.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50£24. You've made a £2 profit.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Not too shabby.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Next it's your favourite, £160 paid for. Your cow!
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Here's hoping she's a prize beast.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00- Let's hope they are all animal lovers.- Pride of the herd.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02On the internet, then... Here we go,
0:36:02 > 0:36:0665. 65. 70, 70 for you on the phone.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0880.
0:36:08 > 0:36:115. 90, 95 on the internet.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12Fill it up? 100?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- £100 here on the phone.- Come on.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16£100. And 10.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- 110.- Yay!- 120.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21120. 120 for you on the telephone.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23At 120 on the telephone.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25Last call.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26130.
0:36:26 > 0:36:27THEY CHEER
0:36:27 > 0:36:29We're gradually drawing them out.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31At 130. 130.

0:36:43 > 0:36:44One and a half hundred pounds here.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46It's being sold.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48And this is the final call for it.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50And it is sold.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- BOTH:- Oh!
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Close!- I feel like we've been through the mill.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56THEY LAUGH
0:36:56 > 0:36:59£150. You still made a wee loss of ten,
0:36:59 > 0:37:01so overall we're minus eight at the moment.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05So, still a loss, but we're heading into our third item here,
0:37:05 > 0:37:06which is the wimble.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08Yes, the wimble.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Here it comes. You paid 35, so, let's get 40 and above.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1515 I'm bid. 15 for this here.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Lot number 4519. At 15.

0:37:27 > 0:37:28THEY GROAN
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- £20.- A little bit shy. - A little bit shy.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Right, OK, what does that mean? It means that it's lost £15,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36so overall, as a team,
0:37:36 > 0:37:38you've lost 23.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39- OK.- Not too bad.- Not too bad.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42But it means that you have to take the bonus buy
0:37:42 > 0:37:44into serious consideration. Are you going to go for it?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47- What do you think?- I think yes.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51- OK, so Danny's Victorian-style stick pin...- Yes.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53100% you're going for it?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- 100%.- Danny paid £40 for it.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59So he's got his work cut out, cos to get you back in the black
0:37:59 > 0:38:03it's got to make 70, really. So fingers crossed. Here it comes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:0516 I'm bid.
0:38:05 > 0:38:0818, 20? 18 on the internet.
0:38:08 > 0:38:1020. £20.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Two I'll take anywhere else.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14In the case here. Good stick pin.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16At £20. Thank you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18You've got to take these gambles.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- I know.- We had to, we had to go with that.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- £20 is a loss of 20. - It was really pretty.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25So, it means that overall you're minus 43.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Minus 43 could, in fact, in the weird Bargain Hunt fashion,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31be a winning score.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34So say nothing to your competitors, the Blues.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- We won't mention anything about this.- Brilliant.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Barry, Sue, here we are, auction time.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47How does that make you feel, Barry?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Apprehensive, but very excited.
0:38:50 > 0:38:54- Sue, are you on the same page? - Not so apprehensive,
0:38:54 > 0:38:56but I'm really excited and looking forward to it.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59We've got something for everyone, basically, with your three lots,
0:38:59 > 0:39:03and we're going to start off with the high flier, the RAF insignia.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06So, hopefully there's some sweetheart out there
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- who just has to have this. - You never know.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- Fingers crossed. Here it comes.- £30 for this.
0:39:11 > 0:39:1330. 20 I have.
0:39:13 > 0:39:1420. 2?
0:39:14 > 0:39:1722, 24, 26.

0:39:27 > 0:39:30£34. 36, anywhere?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32At £34.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- OK, £34 it is. - We're happy with that.
0:39:37 > 0:39:38It's a loss of £15.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40So, Satsuma baskets,
0:39:40 > 0:39:42for which you paid £85,
0:39:42 > 0:39:44have to really make some money now.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- OK, are you ready?- Make or break.
0:39:46 > 0:39:47Here they come.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Straight in at 50. At 50.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- 50?- Now, does he have that?
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- Yes, and five.- Oh, he does.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56At £50 here.
0:39:56 > 0:39:585. And 60. And 5?
0:39:58 > 0:40:00And 65. And 70.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02At 70.
0:40:02 > 0:40:03And 5.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- And 80.- That lovely shape...
0:40:05 > 0:40:06At £80 with me.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09At £80. And 5 I'll take.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Come on.- At £80 they're selling.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13At £80,
0:40:13 > 0:40:14at £80.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Oh!
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Close.- That was close.- Close.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21So £80 is the hammer price. That's another loss,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23but just a wee one, £5,
0:40:23 > 0:40:24so you're minus 20.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26So, here comes the chair.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Not quite sure where it's from, but you paid £50 for it anyway.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Here we go.
0:40:31 > 0:40:3230 I'm bid. 30.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34- 32. - That's a good sign.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3732. 4? 34.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39- Come on.- 36, 38.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42At 38. And 40?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44At £40. And 2 I'll take.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46At £40.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Two anywhere else? At £40.
0:40:48 > 0:40:50OK.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52- Never mind.- The triple whammy, another loss.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55Minus 10. So, overall, minus 30.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57So, now, you have to ask yourselves,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00are you going to go with that beautiful Tiffany pen?
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- Definitely.- We've definitely made up our mind.- Yeah.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05- It's a no-brainer.- OK.
0:41:05 > 0:41:06Now, it wasn't cheap, it was £75.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- No, but it's a beautiful piece. We're only here once...- Ah.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11We're not going to miss the opportunity.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13Right, well, £75 paid.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15You're going with the bonus buy.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Brace yourselves. Here it comes.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22545. Tiffany pen. In the box.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25And 25. 30. 5. 40?
0:41:25 > 0:41:2740. 5?
0:41:27 > 0:41:2950. 5.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31At 55.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34And 60. At 60 we're at now.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36At £60. 5 anywhere?
0:41:36 > 0:41:37At £65.
0:41:37 > 0:41:39At 65 now.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40At 65.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42At £65.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Selling at £65.- Oh, no.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46Sold.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- OK, 65.- Good, though. Gary, that was good.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50OK, minus ten.
0:41:50 > 0:41:51- Wasn't too bad.- No.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53I was not expecting that.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57- Were you?- No.- OK, overall, minus 40.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59It's a funny old game - you never know,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02minus 40 could actually mean that you're today's winners.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03- You never know.- You never know.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06- What will be will be.- So, don't say anything to the Reds,
0:42:06 > 0:42:09keep it to yourselves, and, like you said, que sera.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Between you, there was one profit made today,
0:42:17 > 0:42:20and your experts didn't do you any favours, either,
0:42:20 > 0:42:22because they both made losses, too.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25But one team made a slightly smaller loss.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30The team, therefore, that lost the least today...
0:42:31 > 0:42:32The Blues!
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- Well done.- Well done.- Well done.
0:42:35 > 0:42:40The Blues lost £40, and the Reds £43.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41I can't believe it was that close.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43But despite the fact you lost a little bit more,
0:42:43 > 0:42:45it was our Reds who made a profit today of £2.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49So, that was pretty exciting at that point.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52That was your first lot, and we were all up and then all of a sudden
0:42:52 > 0:42:53we were pretty down.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56So, it's funny the way it works out, isn't it? But it was a good laugh.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- It was.- Fabulous. Absolutely fabulous.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01And if you're sitting at home thinking,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04"Oh, I fancy a bit of that," then find out how to apply.
