0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today's fair is in Exeter where, in 1682,
0:00:04 > 0:00:09the last three women were tried and hanged for witchcraft in England.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12For Bargain Hunt, I'll risk the same fate.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15It's time for me to cast a spell of my own.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19First, two drops of experts' sweat and tears.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Then a pinch of Red passion.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28And last but not least, a dash of Blue determination.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32Hocus-pocus.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34Let's get some focus.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Antiques galore are waiting for us.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40Reds and Blues, no time to lose.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43It's time to dash and splash the cash.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12We're here at Westpoint Arena in Exeter
0:01:12 > 0:01:16where our teams have just one hour and £300
0:01:16 > 0:01:19to find three items that will make a profit at auction.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22So, let's see what magic lies ahead.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25We have some tasty treats for you today.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Isn't that sweet?
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Excuse the pun.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And fancy a brew, anyone?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33How big a teapot is that?
0:01:36 > 0:01:38At auction, it's far from a piece of cake.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- Oh, baby.- Oh!
0:01:40 > 0:01:42It's like pulling teeth.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44But who gets the cherry on top?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yes! Now we're rolling.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- Yes!- Profit's profit.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50But that's all coming up later,
0:01:50 > 0:01:52so let's start at the beginning and meet our teams.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54For the Reds today we've got friends Sue and Liz,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and for the Blues, married couple Tricia and Tim.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Hello, everyone.- Hello, hello.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Lovely to meet you all. Let's start with you, Reds.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Now, tell me, you've been friends for a long time,
0:02:04 > 0:02:05but, Liz, how did you meet?
0:02:05 > 0:02:10Sue and I started nursing on 13th September 1965.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11You remember the very date?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14- Yes.- Both sort of nervous student nurses turning up
0:02:14 > 0:02:18at the nurses' home, and we've stayed friends ever since.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21So friendship was forged, a lifelong one, which is lovely.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Yes, yes.- But tell me, now you've retired,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25so how do you fill your time? Nice and relaxed?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Oh, I do a few things, yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30I retired about three years ago and I now do voluntary work.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I went and helped plant the poppies at the Tower of London,
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- which was fantastic.- Wow.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36So that was two years ago because Sue was going to go.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- Yeah, that iconic installation. - Yes, fantastic.- Amazing.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- It was amazing.- Now tell me, I believe you also have
0:02:42 > 0:02:45a long bucket list which included a bit of pain,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- a bit of torture? - Yes, that was a tattoo.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I always wanted a tattoo but when you're nursing at 18,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53it's not the sort of thing that you do.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So when I was 65 I thought, "Right, now's the time to do it,"
0:02:56 > 0:02:58and I had a little butterfly tattooed on my...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00on the back of my neck.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- OK.- My husband still hasn't recovered.
0:03:02 > 0:03:03Oh, no!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Good work! OK, I must see that later.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Anyway, now, Sue, tell me, any hidden tattoos?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09- No!- No?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12And I spent a lot of time persuading and bribing my children
0:03:12 > 0:03:15not to have tattoos or piercings in horrible places.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16So tell me, are you still working?
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Well, until very recently, yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:20I retired on Thursday.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- Thursday this week?- Yes.- OK!
0:03:23 > 0:03:24Tattoo time, I think, yeah.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26- Yes.- I'll get her booked in.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30So, now that you do have some spare time, finally,
0:03:30 > 0:03:31how are you planning on spending it?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I play tennis, belong to a book club,
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I've just started a sewing club and do lots of voluntary work,
0:03:37 > 0:03:40do a lot for the local hospice and other charities.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42This is great. I have a feeling you're going to get the shop done
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- in about 15 minutes.- Yes. Vroom! - You don't need an hour!
0:03:45 > 0:03:48I'm interested to know about your knowledge of antiques
0:03:48 > 0:03:49because you've got antiques in your blood.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Yes, my grandfather was Thomas Keeling,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54who worked for Coalport as an artist, and he was a better artist
0:03:54 > 0:03:57so he was allowed to sign some of the work, or initial it,
0:03:57 > 0:04:00and I've managed to actually buy a few pieces.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Oh, lovely. You going to work well together?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Yes, with the help of our expert, yes.- Perfect, OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- So a team of three. - As long as we don't chat too much.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Yeah, because we do talk a lot and we are worried about the hour.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Don't worry about that!
0:04:11 > 0:04:13But it does whiz by, so play it carefully,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- and good luck to you.- Thank you.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Right, let's move on to you, Blues, newlyweds since last year,
0:04:19 > 0:04:20which is very exciting.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23So, how did you meet, Tim? How did you and Tricia cross paths?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Well, we actually attended a pub quiz at a local pub in Exeter
0:04:26 > 0:04:29for quite a while and it just so happened that one day
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Tricia's team didn't really turn up.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It was only, like, her and one friend.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35So thankfully the quizmaster just said,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38"Oh, would you like to go and join nice Tim's team?"
0:04:38 > 0:04:39- That's how he described you?- Yes.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42- That was the first vote of confidence.- Yeah, exactly.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44And then we just got chatting, and then...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46- the rest is history, I guess. - Oh, that's lovely.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Important question, did you win the quiz that night?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51I don't think we did, actually, no.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Well, some might say you won the lottery.- Aww!
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Tell me, you also have another love in your life
0:04:57 > 0:05:01- and it's part of your career, too. - Well, "15-love", one might want say.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04I am a tennis analyst, so I provide live statistical data
0:05:04 > 0:05:06for the World Tour tennis.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08So does that take you all over the world?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10All over the world...sat in Exeter.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Oh, I see, so it's all digital?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15- Yeah.- Tricia, what do you do in a working day?
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I'm a supported living coordinator,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21so we work with people with dementia, Alzheimer's
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and people with learning disabilities.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26And basically, I suppose we are trying to make ourselves redundant
0:05:26 > 0:05:27because we are trying to enable them
0:05:27 > 0:05:29to live their lives to their fullest.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- OK, that's a nice way of putting it, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You describe yourself as a bit of a water baby.
0:05:34 > 0:05:35- Tell me about that.- Yes, yes.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38I love water. I've... From very, very little,
0:05:38 > 0:05:39I was straight in the pool.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42I then learnt how to scuba dive, so...
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Cool.- ..that was pretty cool.
0:05:44 > 0:05:45I learnt to dive in Falmouth
0:05:45 > 0:05:49but I was lucky enough to go out to Egypt and dive out there.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52So I've dived with turtles and saw a little reef shark,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54which was amazing, literally, like, about this far away,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57so that was really, really cool.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Now, tell me, have you ever bought any antiques, been to a fair?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Is this familiar territory for you?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Not really.- I would say this is unfamiliar territory, yes.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- OK.- But avid watchers of the show, and we are, like,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10we're one of those who go, "Oh, we could do that."
0:06:10 > 0:06:13We're going to find out later whether we can or not, so...
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Oh, you're one of those! OK, right!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Well, you won't be able to buy anything
0:06:18 > 0:06:20without some dosh, so £300 for you,
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Reds, and just to be fair, £300...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Look how excited you are! £300 for you, Blues.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30Your experts can't wait to meet you so off you go, get shopping.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Well, given Tricia's love of diving,
0:06:32 > 0:06:35let's hope our teams swim instead of sink.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Time to meet today's experts.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Hoping to hit the high notes with the Reds is Danny Sebastian.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45And need an antique?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Who are you going to call? For the Blues, it's Gary Pe.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51So, what's on the shopping list today?
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Things that people might like to give as gifts.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Erm, perhaps things with dual interests, like golf and jewellery
0:06:57 > 0:07:00or dogs and pottery.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02I would really like a teapot because I collect teapots.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Oh, right.- So that would be cool.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Hopefully glass or silver.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Little things, mainly, with particular hallmarks on them.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I used to be a baker and I'm really into cooking,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14so some kitchenalia would be brilliant.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15- I think that's doable.- Yeah?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19Right, teams, your 60 minutes start now.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20- Go!- Let's go.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Come on, let's go and have a look. - Let's go hunting.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Off you go, then, teams, the hunt is on.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Which way are we going, left or right?- Let's go this way.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29There's got to be a teapot in here, possibly.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Ah, a teapot, one of the great British classics.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34And here's another, the British bulldog.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36- Would somebody want him...? - I don't like him.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38You don't? No, OK, so...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39- I think he's got an ugly face. - Has he?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41Oh, don't call him ugly!
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Careful, he might bite.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45What else draws your eye?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Sue, what do you think? I'm quite interested in that one,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- it's a little pillbox. - Isn't it sweet?- Oh, it's sweet.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52It certainly is.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54The numbers 925 represent sterling silver...
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Right.- ..so we know it's silver.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What we really want to know is what the price of it's going to be.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Yeah. Could I have a look at the little pillbox, please?
0:08:01 > 0:08:02Yeah, certainly.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06This is sterling silver.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09- Right.- I think it's possibly American, actually.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12It's just such an unusual design.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14What sort of age do you think it is?
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Erm, I would have thought that was '50s, '60s.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17- Mm-hmm.- May I hold it?
0:08:17 > 0:08:20- Certainly.- Thank you. - What do you think, Danny?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24It's stamped as sterling, 1950s, nice little object, I think,
0:08:24 > 0:08:26and not samey-samey.
0:08:26 > 0:08:27I would be interested in that,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29and I'm sure plenty of other people will be, too.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31And how much is it, please?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Oh, there we are, 38. - I've got it marked at 38.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Right.- It's quite sweet.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Excuse the pun, but it is quite sweet.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41£38 doesn't seem too far out.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43We may even be a little bit lucky and get it a tad lower.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47We may have a really helpful man here who is going to help us.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- Are you going to help us? - I'll go to 32 for you.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Oh, you'll go to 30. Oh, you'll go to 30!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- I'll go to 30!- Thank you!- Oh, Sue!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Well done, you! - Is that a purchase?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Yes, that's a purchase.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00- OK, shake the man's hand. - There we go, thank you very much.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- Yes, thank you very much indeed. - Fantastic.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Yes, indeed, a tasty little pillbox wrapped up for £30,
0:09:07 > 0:09:08all within five minutes.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Come on, let's go and get some more goodies.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Meanwhile, over with the Blues,
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Gary thinks he may have found Tim a bowl
0:09:15 > 0:09:18for mixing all his dough ingredients.
0:09:18 > 0:09:19I spy a mixing bowl, of sorts.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22- OK.- Mm-hmm.- It looks fairly old.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- OK.- Probably English.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32There's enough patination to make me believe it's late 19th century.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34How much is it on for?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37- 35 - that's not much, is it? - That's not much at all.
0:09:37 > 0:09:41If we could reduce that amount to something in the 22 range,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- I think that would be good.- OK.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46However, before we even ask the price on this one,
0:09:46 > 0:09:48what do you think of this?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Wow! It's...
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- It's some sort of barrow.- OK.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Probably originally meant to transport sacks of flour
0:09:56 > 0:09:58or sacks of potatoes.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Nice joinery here, it was probably smoothed out by a hand plane.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Great metalwork.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- You could use this as a towel rack. - Yeah.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Something to decorate the garden with.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- Yeah.- It's priced at 65.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I like it - I think it would have to be cheaper than 65.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Absolutely.- Yeah.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Yeah, I'd definitely want it a lot lower than that.
0:10:20 > 0:10:21- Sort of 45 range.- Yeah.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Which do you have a better feel for?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm not sure, actually, I do quite like the mixing bowl.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Again, it all depends on how much we get for it, doesn't it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29That's the idea, Tim.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Time to quiz the stallholder.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34We were wondering if we could ask the price of these.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Yes, absolutely.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37So, 35...
0:10:37 > 0:10:41I can take it down to 27.50.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43- OK.- And the sack truck?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Yep.- I can take that down to 45.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49'So, which one will it be, Blues? Decision time!'
0:10:49 > 0:10:50I quite like the sack truck.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Yeah?- Yeah.- I quite like them both.
0:10:53 > 0:10:54Is this a split decision?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I think I should play it safe and go with my wife.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00That's a very safe decision!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02So, the sack truck it is, then.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Is there any possibility we could get it down just a little bit more?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08I'm really sorry, I've taken about a third off it,
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- so I can't take any more. - Not even down to 44, just £1?
0:11:12 > 0:11:15- For a pound, absolutely. - Would that be OK?- That's fine.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Perfect, thank you! - You're welcome!
0:11:18 > 0:11:20'Well done, Tricia. You never know,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23'that pound might make all the difference.'
0:11:23 > 0:11:26First buy done and dusted in less than ten minutes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30- We can relax a little bit! - Perfect start!- Yeah.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Don't get too relaxed, though - you have two more to find.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Now, then, what have the Reds seen? A bit of glass for Sue?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Glass, does that sell?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Whitefriars sells, without a doubt.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42You know, it's well-known, it's popular, it's commercial.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's probably top of the tree when you're talking glass.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Hello, sir - your stall?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- It is indeed, yep.- We're looking for some advice, please.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- Yep.- Of all these lovely colours, is there a most popular?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The kingfisher blue or the tangerine.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57The rarest is the meadow green on the end there.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- This meadow green?- Yeah.- Right.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I quite like the cranberry-coloured ones.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Yes.- What sort of age is that?
0:12:04 > 0:12:071960s, 1970s, that sort of period.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10I remember the name because our honeymoon hotel
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- was called the Whitefriars.- Was it?
0:12:12 > 0:12:14So I've been aware of this stuff for a long time.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Might be a link here!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yeah, there might be a link here, mightn't there?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- 78.- Is there movement at all on these prices?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- I can do a bit.- Can do a bit, yeah. - Yeah.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25'While the Reds have a think about the vases,
0:12:25 > 0:12:28'the Blues have decided it's time for tea.'
0:12:28 > 0:12:29I spy a couple of teapots in there.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33- Oh, yes. - Probably made by Carlton Ware.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- OK.- It appears to be the Australian pattern.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- So, the teapot is 43. - Just for a teapot.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Yeah.- If it was a set, then of course I'd say go for it.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Yeah. We'll have a little think about it?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- OK.- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:12:49 > 0:12:51One to keep warm on the hot plate, perhaps.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- But what about this one? - That looks like a Doulton.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- OK.- From the Burslem studio.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Late 19th century, about 1880.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- OK.- Erm...- Shall I have a look at how much it is?
0:13:04 > 0:13:05Yes.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10250 for that one.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Shall we carry on? - I think we should carry on.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- I'm in shock.- Yeah!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I think Gary might need a cup of tea after that!
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Now, then, back to the Reds, and the ladies seem to think
0:13:20 > 0:13:23that doing a double deal might be an idea.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Do you think buying the two would make it more saleable,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28if we asked if we could have the two together?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31The two pieces that we've got, they're very similar in colour -
0:13:31 > 0:13:34would it be best to get two different colours?
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Yeah - if they were the same design, do you think?
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Yes.- Yes, I think so.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42A pair, but not a pair, in terms of colour.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Are we mad?- No. No, it makes sense.- OK!
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Could do that at 65.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I like this, and there is a green one, meadow green.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Got 68 - could do that for 60 on that one.- OK.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57OK, so we now have, well, almost a pair.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- 120 for the two. - Could you possibly do it for 100?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02No. No, 120 would be the very best.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05- Would you meet us in the middle? - We were hoping for 100,
0:14:05 > 0:14:06because we're optimists.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Erm, 110, final offer.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10110, done.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I think he's been as fair as he can be.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- Thank you.- OK?- Yes. - Thank you very much.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Cheers.- Thanks very much.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18So, the decisive Reds are doing a deal for
0:14:18 > 0:14:23two Whitefriars vases for £110. But is Danny happy?
0:14:23 > 0:14:25They're getting on great, they've bought two items,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28we're only 20 minutes in. They're spending quite a bit.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30I'm just a little bit worried whether or not
0:14:30 > 0:14:32there's going to be any money left for me.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Mmm, we'll have to see about that.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Now, while both teams carry on with their shopping,
0:14:36 > 0:14:37I have something to show you.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47There are some items in the antiques world
0:14:47 > 0:14:50that are made for practical purposes -
0:14:50 > 0:14:53clocks, crockery, cutlery and the like.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55But there are some that are made just to be admired,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57just to be pretty, really.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00And this quaich is exactly one of those.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02It's a silver quaich,
0:15:02 > 0:15:06a two-handled drinking vessel from the Celtic tradition,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and it's been created by an American designer,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12William Snelling Hadaway.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Now, he was born in Massachusetts in 1872,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18but he had itchy feet and he travelled to England.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21He wanted to be a great silversmith, and believe me,
0:15:21 > 0:15:24that's exactly what he went on to be.
0:15:24 > 0:15:30This quaich is a lovely example of Snelling Hadaway's signature style.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34We have some beautiful motifs that symbolise prosperity,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36good luck and power -
0:15:36 > 0:15:38the first two, prosperity and good luck,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42symbolised by the dolphins on the handles and the carp at the base,
0:15:42 > 0:15:47and power and prowess symbolised by the Viking longboats.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51And what's interesting is that we have an example here from 1904,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54sort of in the middle of his British career.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57And all of these items are really signature items.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The handles are each individually hallmarked,
0:16:01 > 0:16:05WSH, hallmarked individually because they weren't made specifically
0:16:05 > 0:16:09for this piece, they were cast in silver several times en masse,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12and they could have been used on anything that he made.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17It's sort of pieced together using items that he created in his style.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21So what we have here is a beautiful piece, not really to be touched,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24more just to be admired from a distance.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25But what's it worth?
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Well, probably anywhere between £200 and £500.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Back to the shopping, and the teams are nearly halfway through.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43The Blues only have one item in the bag, but the Reds have two.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46We've got £160 left to spend,
0:16:46 > 0:16:51and we've still got 35 minutes to look for the last item!
0:16:51 > 0:16:53So come on, let's go and see what we can find.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The Blues know exactly what they're looking for.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Teapot, teapot...
0:16:57 > 0:17:01Yes, they're still on the hunt for a great teapot!
0:17:01 > 0:17:02How big a teapot is that?!
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Staffordshire, blue and white, transfer-printed.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09Price, 85.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- OK.- It says that it's a Spode.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Now, I don't think it's that old.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20- OK.- But it's an old pattern, which I think might be old Italian.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23I do really like the patterning, I think this is really pretty.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26You don't see teapots this size.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- No!- No!- No, definitely not!
0:17:28 > 0:17:31So, I mean, that's the only thing that sells it to me.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- Mmm.- Yeah.- The size.- Yeah.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35One to think about.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Now, then, what have the Reds spotted?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Oh, look at the tennis brooch with the tennis ball!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Oh, that's definitely what you would like, isn't it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Yeah, but not everybody else.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Well, watch out. Tim, the tennis analyst, might love it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51But at the moment, he's more interested in kitchenalia.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54That looks like some sort of grinder,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56probably for something like nutmeg.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58That looks really interesting.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Where does it originate from, do you know?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- It looks Asian, to me.- OK.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04Probably South Asian.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Ah!- Oh, wow, look at that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08India, probably. It comes in two parts.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12You'd insert the nutmeg or peppercorns in there
0:18:12 > 0:18:14and grind the spices.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- Ah.- OK. - Would you necessarily still use it
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- for its function...? - It is functional.- OK. Yeah.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And this one here is some sort of rice measure.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26£10. Oh, wow!
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Some sort of semi hardwood.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Look at that decorated banding, I think that's quite nice.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34£10 is a really good price, but then, 22...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- OK.- Why don't we combine them as a lot?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Yeah, two together?
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Two together, at the right price...
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- Yeah.- ..that would make it more sellable.- OK.- Yeah.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Off you go, then, Tim, to do the deal.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47And it's a familiar face!
0:18:47 > 0:18:50What's the best deal you could do for them both?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52So, that one I have at £22.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56That one I have at ten.
0:18:56 > 0:18:5732.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00- I could do the two for 28.- 28?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03£28 for the two of them - do we like the sound of that one?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Yeah, I'm happy with that. - Well, I'm happy if you're happy.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07- Great.- Let's go for it.- OK.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- Thank you very much!- Thank you.
0:19:09 > 0:19:14Another double deal - the rice measurer and grinder for £28.
0:19:14 > 0:19:15It's a happy team.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Two bits of kitchenalia in the bag.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- Yeah, and really unique kitchenalia as well.- Absolutely!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Now, though, where are those Reds?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- I saw a rocking horse there. - A rocking horse?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- You've seen a rocking horse?- Yes.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32That's more than the money - can't buy that.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- 325.- Yep. Can't buy that, out of our price bracket, sorry!
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Isn't it beautiful?- It's lovely. - Just too much money.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38Just too much money.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Talking of money, Tricia's had a rethink about the blue giant teapot.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47How much do you think you could do the gigantic teapot for?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I've got £85 on it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Yep.- I could sell it to you for 75.
0:19:51 > 0:19:5375. OK.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57Well, that's another teapot to put on the stand for now.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00We've got just under 20 minutes left.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03We've got the time to sort of browse around
0:20:03 > 0:20:06and we've got a couple of things in the back burner,
0:20:06 > 0:20:10so, no worries, no pressure - we'll make it.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Let's hope so! Now, back to the Reds,
0:20:13 > 0:20:17and Liz might have spotted something dual-purpose, just as she wished.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19Walking sticks are quite popular, aren't they?
0:20:19 > 0:20:20But they're quite expensive.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- 165.- Well, I quite like him.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- You quite like him?- Yes, I do.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26What sort of age do you think he would be?
0:20:26 > 0:20:28- Is that hallmarked? - 1950s, probably, some...
0:20:28 > 0:20:29He's got a brass collar.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Bit of a pug.- He's got amazing eyes.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Glass eyes. - What do you think about him?
0:20:33 > 0:20:34They're collectable and practical.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- People use them to walk themselves.- As a gift.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38People also like collecting walking sticks.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Dogs are very popular.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Yes. He's not a pretty dog... - No?- ..but he is a dog.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46I think you'd have to work a little bit on that price.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- We would, wouldn't we?- That's a lot. - You certainly will!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Now, where's the stallholder? Do your best, Liz!
0:20:51 > 0:20:54We've got a problem - we love the walking stick...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- And not the price?- We haven't got the money left to give Danny.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Yeah. Well, honestly, the very best I could do would be £140.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- 140.- It's a lovely thing, I mean, it's got ruby eyes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05What sort of age is it?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Erm, date, I would guess, not later than 1920.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12This is beech, this part is boxwood.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I'm not sure what the head's carved in, actually.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- I think it's lovely.- Do you?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Yes, I think it's lovely, it's unusual.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21If we asked really nicely, would you be able to do 120?
0:21:21 > 0:21:22- I couldn't, I'm afraid. - You couldn't, no.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Oh, go on.- Would 130 help you? - How much would that leave you, then?
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Don't worry about me, I can buy something for as little as £1,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31if that's all you're going to leave me.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35So, don't worry, if you like it, you love it - let's buy it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36What do you think, Sue?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Yes!- There's a shake of hand!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- Is that a yes?- Absolutely. - Shake the man's hand.
0:21:41 > 0:21:42Thank you very much.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Well done, ladies - £130 paid.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Fantastic. We've got three items, we're all done.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Give us a group hug here. Ooh!
0:21:50 > 0:21:52So much love in the Red camp today!
0:21:52 > 0:21:53Now, what about those Blues?
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I see bits of porcelain on that stall over there.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Not just any porcelain, mind - teapots!
0:21:59 > 0:22:03They look like Belleek - the best Irish porcelain that you can find.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Now, if they are Belleek, there's only one condition
0:22:07 > 0:22:09that I would impose, if you want to buy them.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- Yep.- They have to have the early black mark.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- OK.- All right?
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Better have a closer look, then.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Which one do the couple prefer?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I quite like the one with the handle going over the top.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- All right, this one here. - The bigger one.- The bigger one.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Now, what was it I said that was important about Belleek?
0:22:26 > 0:22:28That it's got a black mark.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29Shall we look at the underside?
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- Yeah!- Tension... - DRUMROLL
0:22:32 > 0:22:33- Ta-da!- Yes!
0:22:33 > 0:22:37The all-important harp and hound Belleek black mark.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- And probably first period.- Yep.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So, you've got sort of a coral form in here.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46Sort of shellfish design.
0:22:46 > 0:22:47- Mm-hmm.- Or scallop design.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I mean, look at that kind of detailing.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53And the porcelain, the translucency of it, is just remarkable.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- I do like the patterning on it, it's...- That's right.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58- It's very nice, isn't it? - No, absolutely.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00But I see no price.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I see a price on the other one...
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Yeah.- Yes.- ..which is 120.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09So we're probably talking about an extra 50 quid on that.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- OK.- And again, let's do the same thing with that.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- Let's just check it over. - Check the mark.- Yep. - DRUMROLL
0:23:16 > 0:23:19And lo and behold, black.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- Oh, wow!- Right? So, like I said,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25it's the highest quality Irish porcelain you can find.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27There's a big market for them,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31particularly the ones that have the black mark.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33The price is not that scary.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- OK.- It depends how low we can go.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37I like them, I think they're really nice.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39- They're nice.- Yeah.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41I'm liking the age in them as well, I think that's really good.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Now, compared to the giant of a teapot...
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Yep.- ..what are we thinking?
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Spode being quite modern, I think it's less...
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Well, this has the antique label.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Exactly, yeah.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54- Shall we find out? - Shall we find out?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Is it your task to do? - It's your turn!
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I think it should be mine, as I'm the teapot lady!
0:23:59 > 0:24:00You're the teapot lady, exactly!
0:24:00 > 0:24:02OK, then, Mrs Teapot -
0:24:02 > 0:24:04go and have a chat with the stallholder about the little one.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I am positive about the make, great patterns on it, so...
0:24:08 > 0:24:11if we can get that right price then I'm happy and excited.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15Now, then, Tricia, what news on that £120 price tag?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- So...- Yes?
0:24:17 > 0:24:18- 88?- Ooh!
0:24:18 > 0:24:21- For the teapot? - For the teapot, yeah, the small one.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22- Item number three.- Yes.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Have we done this? - I think we might have done.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- Tim, are you in agreement? - Are we shopped out?
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Oh, don't keep us in suspense, Tim!
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- OK!- Yes!
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Go, team!
0:24:35 > 0:24:38At last, Tricia's got her teapot, and with 12 minutes left to spare!
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Are we happy?- Yeah.- Yeah, very.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Hey-hey! Come on! Celebrate!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51First up, they spent £30 on this sweet little 1950s silver pillbox.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58They then bought two coloured Whitefriar vases for £110.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03And finally, they're hoping to walk away with profit
0:25:03 > 0:25:08with this unusual dog's head walking stick. £130 was paid.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Now, as I said to you at the beginning of the day,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12you were going to get that shop done quickly.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14You just don't have time to hang around!
0:25:14 > 0:25:1738 minutes is all it took - well done!
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Impulse buying, I think!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20OK, well, tell me about the impulse buy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Which are you thinking was an impulse buy?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25I think the Whitefriars. We bought two Whitefriars vases,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28which perhaps in hindsight was a mistake.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Well, you know, it's a good name, so, there's a good market for it.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- And you never know, right?- Yes. - Which was your favourite item, Liz?
0:25:35 > 0:25:36I think the bulldog walking stick.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Do you think it's going to bring a good profit,
0:25:39 > 0:25:40perhaps the biggest profit, Liz?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I think probably the first item we bought,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- which is a little sweetie pillbox. - OK, Sue, do you agree?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I loved the walking stick, very nice buy, that,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51and I'm not sure if any of the things will make much profit,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and I don't think the Whitefriars will make any profit at all,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- in hindsight.- Oh, no! But you did spend a lot of money,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I'm very proud of you - £270. - That's right.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00- £30 left.- There you go.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Fantastic, thank you, Liz, going to Danny.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Danny, they've not left you much.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Do you have any ideas how you'll spend that £30?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10We bought quite traditionally today, so I think we're going to
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- go for something quite modern. - OK.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17So, as Danny moves into the 20th or 21st century for these ladies,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22First up, they wheeled out £44
0:26:22 > 0:26:25for this wooden and cast iron sack truck.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32They then bought this rice measure and Indian spice grinder for £28.
0:26:34 > 0:26:35And finally, they paid £88
0:26:35 > 0:26:39for an unusual Irish Belleek porcelain teapot.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Tea, anyone?
0:26:41 > 0:26:44So, Tim and Tricia, it didn't take you long to find all three items,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46but you did spend a while looking for a teapot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47Yes, just a little!
0:26:47 > 0:26:52But you did get it in the end, so, Tricia, is that your favourite item,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54- the teapot? - I think it is, yeah, definitely.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- It has to be, doesn't it, after all that looking?- Yeah.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And what about profit? Do you think it's going to bring the biggest?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I'm not sure if it will bring the biggest.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I reckon it might be the sack truck.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Tim, do you agree?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10- I think my favourite's the little Indian...- The rice measure?
0:27:10 > 0:27:13The rice measure and the grinder because it's so unusual.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Quite quaint.- Exactly, and I think it will do really well.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19OK, so you think that's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21- I think so, yeah.- You did pretty well, only spending £160,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25so who's got 140? You do, OK, thank you so much.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- So, all these notes, Gary, £140. - Well, well, well!
0:27:27 > 0:27:30How are you going to spend them?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34I think I may have found something that's electrifying.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37OK, OK!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Well, on that note, let's head straight to the auction,
0:27:39 > 0:27:41where it's all going to unfold.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47I've hopped over to Honiton and to Whittons auction house
0:27:47 > 0:27:49to meet the man himself, Edward Whitton.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Thank you very much for having us along.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Thank you for coming along.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Now, I present to you the Red team's items.
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Here we have Liz and Sue, great friends,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01and will they still be great friends when this little sweetie box
0:28:01 > 0:28:04goes under the hammer? Because it's a gorgeous thing, isn't it?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Yeah, it is, nice hinged top, silver, 925 standard,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09fairly late in the last 20, 30 years.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12It's machine-made but, you know, it's quite a novelty.
0:28:12 > 0:28:13I've never seen one in a sweetie shape,
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I think it's really lovely.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18So, what do you reckon it's going to make, silver as it is?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21- I've put 20-30 estimate. - Well, the ladies paid £30,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23top end of your estimate,
0:28:23 > 0:28:25so hopefully they'll get a SWEET return.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29OK, let's move on to something that might actually be a little bit sour.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32This is their Whitefriars glass.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Tell me what you think of these.
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Copy of the cucumber type of vase that they made but smaller.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42But I personally don't like them,
0:28:42 > 0:28:44don't have a lot of confidence in them,
0:28:44 > 0:28:46hence the estimate of £20-30.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49But, you know, hopefully we'll be surprised on the day.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52The ladies paid £110 the pair.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Right.- I think they got a bit carried away.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- I think they did.- So, if the vases go a little bit south,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01all hopes might be pinned on this rather stylish walking stick.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Tell me your thoughts on this beauty.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06Yeah, I like it. It's a nice lot, nice style,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09it's got the silver band to it and the gemstone eyes,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12so I've got hope for this one, to be fair.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- I mean, it's not unusual to see a dog handle, is it?- No.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17But there's something about this one.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Yeah, you can have dogs, fish, cats, they're not uncommon,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22but they are quite collectable.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Often, items like this are difficult to age
0:29:25 > 0:29:28because there are so many reproductions out there.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30What do you think of the authenticity of this one?
0:29:30 > 0:29:33I think this bit here is later, this is old,
0:29:33 > 0:29:36and underneath the silver strip there there'll be a join,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38so it's been put together.
0:29:38 > 0:29:39So, how much are they going to pay for it?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I put 100-150.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- OK, well, the team paid £130 for the stick...- OK.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46..so we're on a knife edge here with these estimates.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49So, just in case it doesn't work out,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52let's find out what Danny bought as a bonus buy.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Well, Liz and Sue, you were so cruel to Danny, £270 spent,
0:29:57 > 0:29:59you only gave him £30 to spend!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- We felt really mean. - Oh, did you?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Let's find out, Danny, £30, what did you spend it on?
0:30:05 > 0:30:09Well, I've spent it on something every house needs.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Oh, wow!- I love mirrors, I think they're great things,
0:30:13 > 0:30:15people always need one.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19This is a very contemporary one. It's not bevel-edged,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22it's got no age to it, really - it's brand-new, to be honest -
0:30:22 > 0:30:24but I just find it quite quirky.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27It's lovely with the rope round the outside.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31I just think that, in the auction, everyone's going to want a mirror,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- and I'm sure...- It's whether they want THAT mirror, Danny!
0:30:35 > 0:30:39- This is the question! - How much did you pay for it, please?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41You only left me £30!
0:30:41 > 0:30:43You didn't spend £30?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45I did, I spent the whole £30 on it!
0:30:45 > 0:30:46Big spender, like us!
0:30:46 > 0:30:49- Absolutely!- So if we have got people who would like this mirror,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51how much are they going to buy it for, do you think, Danny?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Well, I'd like to think it would probably reach somewhere
0:30:54 > 0:30:57between 40, £50 quite easily.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Interestingly, you're meant to obviously fix it to the wall
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- with that. - Does that change anything for you?
0:31:02 > 0:31:03No!
0:31:05 > 0:31:08Well, the ladies aren't quite decided yet,
0:31:08 > 0:31:11so in the meantime, let's find out what auctioneer Ed
0:31:11 > 0:31:13thinks of Danny's quirky mirror.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Now I have a feeling, Ed,
0:31:15 > 0:31:17that Danny was under a little bit of pressure when he bought
0:31:17 > 0:31:20this bonus buy because bearing in mind we were at an antique fair,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23and this doesn't have a lot, or any, age to it, does it?
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It doesn't, no.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- It's as new as they come. - Do you rate its style?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30I think it's ghastly!
0:31:30 > 0:31:32I mean, Ed, tell us what you really think(!)
0:31:32 > 0:31:34No, it's an acquired taste.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37OK, and what do you reckon it's going to be worth?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- 50-80.- Fantastic, well, Danny spent £30 on it.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42- He will be delighted.- Yeah.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Right, let's move on now to our Blues,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Tim and Tricia, and we're starting off here with a little bit of
0:31:48 > 0:31:52an industrial lot, the set of coal trucks here, or a sack barrel,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54- I would call it.- They're nice quality, they've been nicely made,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56there's no damage to them.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59How old are they? Are we talking sort of 1940s, '50s?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Yeah, they probably are 1940s, around that time.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I think they're saleable, up to a price.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- And what's that price?- 30-50.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08OK, well, the team paid £44,
0:32:08 > 0:32:11and I reckon they'll do all right, won't they?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13It's quite a fun thing, someone will come away with that
0:32:13 > 0:32:15and they'll be quite happy.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17So, let's move onto another wooden set of items,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20this is this novelty grinder and the rice measure.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24So we're from a different continent altogether, we're over in the East.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Whilst they look the part, how old do you really think these are?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Within, I'd say, the last 15, 20 years, to be honest, at the most.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Do they fall under tourist item?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Yeah, it's a holiday memento.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Sort of a taste of the East when you come back to the West?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Yeah, the sort of item you pop on a kitchen windowsill,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41something like that. You wouldn't use them.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- They don't look very hygienic, do they?- No.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47OK, so, bearing in mind that we can't really use them
0:32:47 > 0:32:49and we're not sure quite how we'll display them,
0:32:49 > 0:32:51how does that affect your estimate?
0:32:51 > 0:32:5320-30.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55OK, well, the team paid £28,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58- so we're getting there, fingers crossed.- Yeah.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59On the right lines.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Now, we're sticking with the kitchen
0:33:01 > 0:33:03but now we're onto fine Irish porcelain.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06Belleek here - quite an unusual example of one of their teapots.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Yeah, nice looking pot, no damage to it.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12It's a clean, collectable item.
0:33:12 > 0:33:13When you're selling Belleek,
0:33:13 > 0:33:16do you have Irish bidding for it or does it tend to stay around here?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Yeah, we've got quite strong Irish connections
0:33:18 > 0:33:20that will buy a lot of this porcelain.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- What do you reckon it's worth? - 25-35.
0:33:22 > 0:33:27OK, well, the team paid two fat ladies, 88 for the teapot,
0:33:27 > 0:33:29which means they might need their bonus buy.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32So let's find out what Gary came up with.
0:33:32 > 0:33:36Well, Tricia and Tim, you spent a fair amount of money at the auction
0:33:36 > 0:33:38but you left plenty for Gary to play with,
0:33:38 > 0:33:41so are you worried about what he got up to
0:33:41 > 0:33:43when he went back to the fair?
0:33:43 > 0:33:46I think he will have done quite well. I'm hopeful, yeah.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48He's been very good at guiding us through so far.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50OK, Gary, guide us through your bonus buy, then.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Well, I promised something electrifying -
0:33:53 > 0:33:54what about a danger sign?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- Oh!- 33,000 volts of it.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- Very nice.- That is interesting.- Yes.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Got positive vibes about that one.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04It is a porcelain enamel sign,
0:34:04 > 0:34:07obviously from the Indian subcontinent,
0:34:07 > 0:34:11and this probably would have come out of an electrical power station.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13Now, it's very useful nowadays.
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Can you imagine attaching this to your fridge
0:34:17 > 0:34:19if you want to go on a diet or something like that?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21Well, that depends how much whisky gateau you make, Trish!
0:34:24 > 0:34:27So, how much did you actually spend on it?
0:34:27 > 0:34:29- Well... £15.- Ooh!- OK.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- That's very good, actually. - OK, I'm happy with that.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34There's a lot of collectors for enamel signs,
0:34:34 > 0:34:36and this is in fairly good condition.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39How much do you think it would make in auction?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42I'd like to think it would treble that amount.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Does sound very good.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46That sounds very positive, I'm quite happy with that!
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Let's see if Ed, our auctioneer,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51is feeling positive about Gary's dangerous sign.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Now, Ed, I'm going to presume that, like me,
0:34:54 > 0:34:55you don't speak fluent Sanskrit?
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- No.- No, you don't, neither do I.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00If that even is the language depicted on this sign.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04But tell me, does this smell danger in the auction room or do you think,
0:35:04 > 0:35:06in fact, it's going to get loads of attention?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08It's a bit of a novelty item, isn't it?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Put it on the toilet door, wherever!
0:35:10 > 0:35:11In the kitchen.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Do you think this will appeal to those who have a taste
0:35:14 > 0:35:16for the macabre, with the skull and cross bones?
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Yeah, you try and find them, though. We'll hopefully try and find them.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21I don't know what it's going to sell for, to be honest,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23but I think 20-30 is what I'd put on it.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Well, I tell you what, Gary paid £15
0:35:25 > 0:35:28for this dangerous sign and I don't think in that case
0:35:28 > 0:35:29- he'll be in too much danger.- No.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Well, we've discussed these at length,
0:35:31 > 0:35:34and I presume you'll be itching to get them under the hammer.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38- Looking forward to it. - In that case, let's get started.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41£50 here, for an estimate. 50 on the internet.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Are you still feeling good about the lots that you bought?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- Not all of them. - Which is giving you a headache?
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- The second one that we bought. - The vases.- The Whitefriars.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52- But pleased with the other two.- Yes.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54We're starting with the silver pillbox.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- See how that does. - Here comes item number one.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00595, item number two, a silver pillbox.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02What, £20 for this?
0:36:02 > 0:36:03£20 I'm bid. £20? 22?
0:36:03 > 0:36:06- For the silver, the sweet. - He's off the mark.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0822 here. Four, six,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10eight, 30...
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Brilliant!- Yes!- Yes!
0:36:12 > 0:36:15At £30 here. 32, is it?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18At £30 here, 32 anywhere else?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20At £30, then, at £30, here.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Oh, well, it broke even.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Good start, that.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28OK, so we're back to square one.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30But this is your dreaded lot.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33The Whitefriars, £110 paid.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36These two Whitefriars vases here, 596,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40and 32, I'm bid. Four, six, eight...
0:36:40 > 0:36:41They've got a long way to go.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4338, and 40.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45At 40, 42. 44.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Come on!
0:36:46 > 0:36:4946. At £46. 48?
0:36:49 > 0:36:50- At 50?- Come on!
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- At £48 here.- Oh, come on!
0:36:52 > 0:36:54£50 anywhere?
0:36:54 > 0:36:5550. We're at £50.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57And two, I'll take.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58At £50, then.
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Ladies, £50. You had a feeling it wasn't going to go well.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- We did.- So it's lost £60.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07So the unusual walking stick,
0:37:07 > 0:37:10which the auctioneer thinks should make between £100-150,
0:37:10 > 0:37:13really has to go some to get you back into the black.
0:37:13 > 0:37:1580, I'm bid, five.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- 90. Five.- Come on, come on.
0:37:18 > 0:37:2095, 100. And 10.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23110, 120. 120.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25At 120, 130, is it?
0:37:25 > 0:37:26- LIZ:- Go on, it's beautiful!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28- AUCTIONEER:- At £120 here.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29Come on, internet.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31At £120.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32OK.
0:37:32 > 0:37:34120. So close.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36It's another loss of £10.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39We're straight into that all-important question -
0:37:39 > 0:37:41are you going to go with the bonus buy?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Yes.- Yes.- OK, Danny,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45the ladies are going to go with your bonus buy.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47No pressure. You paid £30 for it
0:37:47 > 0:37:50and the auctioneer actually reckons £50-80.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52So, here's hoping for a profit.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Good mirror here, a bit nautical.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56£50 for this one?
0:37:56 > 0:37:5830, I'm bid. 32.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00- Profit!- Yes!- 34. 36.
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Now we're rolling!
0:38:01 > 0:38:03At 38? 40.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- 42.- Still cheap!- At 42.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07At 42. And 45.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- Yes!- At 45.- I don't think he can quite believe it.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13At £45...
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Fantastic!- Ooh, I deserve that!
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Am I getting one from you as well? Mwah!
0:38:19 > 0:38:23£45. Finally I get to write a plus here!
0:38:23 > 0:38:24Plus 15, brilliant.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- So, overall, minus 55. - Well, it could be worse.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Well, yeah, you can't really get excited about that, can you?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32In my nightmares it was worse.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Tim, Tricia, how are you feeling?
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Good. Excited.- A bit apprehensive.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47Here's your first item. It's the set of coal trucks.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49You bought for £44, so hopefully we'll get a profit
0:38:49 > 0:38:51on our first item. Here it comes.
0:38:51 > 0:38:5230 for this?
0:38:52 > 0:38:5420 then. 20 to start me.
0:38:54 > 0:38:5620, I'm bid. At 20.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58And two, and five, 25.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59Come on.
0:38:59 > 0:39:0128, and 30.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03I've got £30 here.
0:39:03 > 0:39:04- Getting there.- Getting there!
0:39:04 > 0:39:06And two. Good pair of sack trucks.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- 34...- Up, up, up!- Still going.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10At 34. Bid's at the back.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- TIM:- Only- £10- away.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14- AUCTIONEER:- At £34.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Oh, 34.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19£10 less than what you paid for them.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22So, now it's on to our grinder and measure.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Are you ready for this? £28 paid.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28The novelty items here, the grinder and rice measure.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And £20? 22. At 22.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- 22.- 24. 26. - Gary, it's getting there.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37At £26 here.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39- At £26.- Come on.- 28.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Yes!
0:39:41 > 0:39:43And 30 I'll take anywhere else.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45At £28 here. 30 I want.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- We're all waiting.- £28.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- Done.- Oh! That's like pulling teeth!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Oh, my goodness!
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Right, OK, so that was £28.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57So zero, we're back to where we started, minus 10.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Right, OK, Belleek teapot, £88.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01We need this Belleek to make some money.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03605, Belleek teapot here.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07And 22, five, eight, 30, five.
0:40:07 > 0:40:0840.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11We need more than that.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12At 42.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14At £42 here.
0:40:14 > 0:40:15Five I'll take.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- AUCTIONEER:- At £45 anywhere else? - TIM:- Oh, no.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20At £45.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23I think the kettle's just boiled!
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Right, OK, £45 hammer, there.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27It's a loss of 43.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32Right. Overall, minus 53, Blues.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34That's where we are. There's no getting around it.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35Minus 53.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38- So, danger, danger, high voltage. - Here we go.
0:40:38 > 0:40:39Here comes the bonus buy.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41- Are you going to take it? - I think we better.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- I think we should, shouldn't we? - I think so, yeah.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I don't think there's a question about that one.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- It might be a shock! - Might be a shock!- Exactly!
0:40:47 > 0:40:49We actually need a shock result.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Now, Gary paid £15 for it.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Shocker - the auctioneer thinks £20-30.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- No!- 20-30.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58I can't look.
0:40:58 > 0:40:59Danger sign, here.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Lot number 609.
0:41:02 > 0:41:0320 for this?
0:41:03 > 0:41:0415, I'm bid.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- At 15, and 16.- Oh, oh, oh!
0:41:07 > 0:41:09At £16, and 18.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- At £18.- Doesn't that feel good?
0:41:11 > 0:41:1420 I'll take. At £18 here.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15A bit more. A bit more.
0:41:15 > 0:41:1720. That is it.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18At £20. Sold.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20- Yeah!- Profit's profit.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24A sweet profit at last, thanks to Gary.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Fantastic. £20, which means a profit of £5. OK.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31So, that takes you down to minus 48.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34- Well, do you know what...?- Result(!)
0:41:34 > 0:41:35But you've had a nice time, right?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Yeah, definitely. I'll stick to the tennis, I think!
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- So you're not giving up the day jobs!- No.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I think you're both safe in your roles, don't worry.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44What a relief!
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Now, interestingly, the biggest profit made today
0:41:55 > 0:42:00was on the most contemporary item, which was Danny's bonus buy.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04Ooh, it's looking rosy!
0:42:04 > 0:42:07But I don't have any money to give anyone.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08I've got empty pockets.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11So everyone made a loss.
0:42:11 > 0:42:15So how important was that bonus buy?
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Let me tell you.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Today's winners...
0:42:18 > 0:42:19The Blues.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22- DANNY:- Well done!
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Believe it or not.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29But, Danny, kudos to you, because for the Reds, who broke even,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32then there was a loss, then there was another loss,
0:42:32 > 0:42:34you swooped in with a profit of £15.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37And all of our hopes were hinged on it,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40but it wasn't quite enough to beat the Blues -
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Minus 55 overall.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43But, I tell you what, not a lot in it.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Blues, minus 48.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48So just pipped at the post.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51I don't think you guys can believe it, actually.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53No.
0:42:53 > 0:42:54But it's lovely to see the fact
0:42:54 > 0:42:56that everyone's got a smile on their faces
0:42:56 > 0:42:59even though they've got no money in their pockets!
