0:00:02 > 0:00:04We're in Kingston upon Thames,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08which is a very majestic part of the world.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10This is the Coronation Stone.
0:00:10 > 0:00:15Legend has it that would-be kings used to sit on this ceremonial stone
0:00:15 > 0:00:16when they were crowned.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19I hope they had a cushion!
0:00:19 > 0:00:23But enough of all that, what we're interested in today
0:00:23 > 0:00:26is which of our teams will make a princely sum at auction
0:00:26 > 0:00:27and be crowned today's winners.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:56 > 0:01:00Now, while kings and queens may have all the money in the world,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03they'd have to come on Bargain Hunt to get one of these,
0:01:03 > 0:01:05a golden gavel.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10But we only give them to teams who make a profit at auction on all
0:01:10 > 0:01:14three items, which today our teams are hoping to find here
0:01:14 > 0:01:16at Kingston Antiques Centre,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18so let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22We have some bright sparks on the Red team.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26THEY LAUGH
0:01:26 > 0:01:28The Blues are very demanding.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31We'd have to have the pair, I don't think one is good enough.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Here we go!
0:01:33 > 0:01:36One is just not good enough, I have to have two!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38I have to have two, have to have two!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And there's dancing and drama at the auction.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Oh, yay, thank you!
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, today's show is set to be a brilliant one because for the Reds,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51we've got best friends Deborah and John, and for the Blues,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54we've got married couple Peter and Wendy, so hello everyone!
0:01:54 > 0:01:55- ALL:- Hello!
0:01:56 > 0:02:00I like it, I can feel the energy in the Bargain Hunt teams today.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03John and Deborah, you've been friends for 30 years but, Deborah,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I believe that when you met John,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08he couldn't have missed you even if he'd wanted to?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12No, that's because I was dressed in orange from head to toe,
0:02:12 > 0:02:13including my hair.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Oh, really?- I emerged from behind a rather large trolley
0:02:17 > 0:02:21that was very highly piled with stuff.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24So probably John saw the trolley and then from behind it
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- emerged some sort of orange human? - Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30Amazing. That is quite an impression to make.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Did you hit it off straightaway?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36John had just started as a security guard.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40I introduced myself and I said, "You must be John, the new guy."
0:02:40 > 0:02:42He's like, "Yeah," and we've been friends ever since.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Then that wasn't really the job for you in the end because you did
0:02:45 > 0:02:47retrain, didn't you at a milestone birthday?
0:02:47 > 0:02:52I think I was 47 and I decided I was going to retrain
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and I took a degree in graphic design.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58How do you reckon that's going to help you today?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Well, the subject I chose was
0:03:01 > 0:03:03what makes stuff cool?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07So I'm hoping if I've got it right, I'll be able to pick up things
0:03:07 > 0:03:10that make people think, "Wow, that's cool."
0:03:10 > 0:03:14So you are, in fact, a trend barometer?
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I've been saying this for years and nobody listens to me.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20It was the orange, actually, that's why no-one believed you.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Kicking around in a full-on orange outfit,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25thousands wouldn't have believed you
0:03:25 > 0:03:27but the proof will be in the pudding.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Meeting at work as you did, you became such good friends,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32so much so, that you even played Cupid for Deborah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- Tell us about that.- Oh, yeah,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I got into scuba diving and I was in the Red Sea.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43And Derek, who is Deb's husband now...
0:03:43 > 0:03:47After a week, I came back to England and Derek stayed on the boat.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I left my camera on the boat.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Derek said, "Yeah, I know, I've got your camera." And I said,
0:03:51 > 0:03:55"Instead of getting it all the way back to me in Grays,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58"I've got a friend that lives round the corner, Debbie."
0:03:58 > 0:04:01And so he brought the camera to Debbie.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Oh, lovely.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I don't think you liked him when you first met him!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Is that right?
0:04:07 > 0:04:09I don't know if you're meant to say that.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13Well, it's a good story anyway and it's very nice that you were
0:04:13 > 0:04:15involved in it but you're such good friends,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18do you reckon you'll be a great team on Bargain Hunt?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19Who's going to be in charge?
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Who do you think?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24LAUGHTER
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I'm good at doing as I'm told and carrying, I'm pretty good at that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30OK, thank you very much for your chat.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33I'm going to head over to the competition, the Blues.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Wendy and Peter, married couple, thank you so much for joining us.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39- You're welcome.- Now, Wendy, tell me about when you met Peter,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42because today he's a man in blue but when you met, he was a boy in blue,
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- wasn't he?- Well, I used to flat in Earls Court,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47it used to be known as Kangaroo Corner
0:04:47 > 0:04:49and we were always giving parties.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We absolutely loved parties.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55One of the girls had this boyfriend who was a policeman and they said,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57"I'll bring my mate along tonight."
0:04:57 > 0:05:01So they arrived at the door and then I brought him into the party because
0:05:01 > 0:05:02he had absolutely gorgeous eyes.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- Oh, really?- She had a blue dress on, I remember that,
0:05:06 > 0:05:08and it was love at first sight.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Oh, lovely! Sounds like you're a fantastic family unit but how do you
0:05:12 > 0:05:15reckon you will act as the Blue team on Bargain Hunt?
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- I'm the boss.- OK.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- I see.- Straight to it!
0:05:19 > 0:05:23I'm very frugal and Wendy is the big spender.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Oh, I like it.- I like spending, he doesn't like spending.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Talking of spending, it's time to do just that,
0:05:29 > 0:05:34but you need some money in order to buy some antiques, so £300 for you,
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Reds.- Yes, please. - £300 for you, Blues.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40You've got a brilliant hour ahead of you so off you go,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43have lots of fun and all the best.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46A security officer AND a police officer in our midst?
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Those dealers better be on their best behaviour.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Fabulous teams need fantastic experts.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58He's the joker of the pack, David Harper takes charge of the Reds.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03And she's hoping to find three items to write home about,
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Christina Trevanion joins the Blues.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12I can feel the excitement, Debs, we're on our way shopping,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- what are we going to buy?- We're going to buy good quality, plastic,
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- designer.- Plastic and quality don't go together.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Peter, what are we looking for today?
0:06:21 > 0:06:22Well, I'm looking for silver.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26- Right.- But I really don't want to spend very much money.
0:06:26 > 0:06:31- Cheap silver?- Well, yes, I'm a cheapskate.- OK.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'd like to get just three bonus buys.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Three bonus buys?- Yeah, because you always get a decent bonus buy at
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- the end, don't you?- Me?- We get three, it's job done.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- Quality, quality and quality. - Oh, good.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46And lots and lots of money and I'm going to give you £1.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- A pound?- A pound.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49She's generous, isn't she?
0:06:49 > 0:06:50She is, yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Are you ready?- Ready.- Let's go.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Let's go.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Let's go shopping!
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Oh, my goodness, we're on the clock.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11I get nerves when the clock starts.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Good, I'm glad you got the nerves because we've got the nerves.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Well, I have the nerves, he never gets nerves.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18The Reds look full of confidence.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22I'd like you to lead the way. Just tell me what you like.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24- Scan the place.- OK.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26There's so much choice, it's dizzying.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29Just take a moment to find your...bearings.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Tell me what appeals to you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Oh, I like that and that, but it's not about me.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Have you spotted anything yet, teams?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Is it Clarice Cliff?
0:07:40 > 0:07:41They're quite quirky.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Oh, no, the Q word.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48That's sold, it's got a sold sticker on it. Yeah.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- CHRISTINA:- Right, let's see.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I like these. Do you like these?
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- You like this?- I love quirky things for the garden
0:07:58 > 0:08:00that you can do things with plants.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04So, now I'm very confused because you said quality, quality, quality,
0:08:04 > 0:08:06and we're looking at a chimney pot!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08THEY LAUGH
0:08:08 > 0:08:11OK, quality and quirky. Is that OK?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13That's why I married him!
0:08:13 > 0:08:15THEY LAUGH
0:08:15 > 0:08:16I love it. I love it.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19OK, so, yes, you couldn't get much more quirky.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23You're looking at chimney pots. Do we know how much is on those?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25They might... Do you know what?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I'm a rural girl, it's a bit like calving a cow, this.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29Hang on a minute. OK.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33£48!
0:08:33 > 0:08:36I honestly thought that they would be marked at about £100 apiece.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Right, and they're originals, you can tell they're not reconstituted.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Definitely not. You can tell,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44- they've even got original soot in them!- At no extra cost!
0:08:44 > 0:08:47We can certainly ask about them cos I think those are rather good.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50We'd have to have the pair, I don't think one's good enough.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Oh, here we go!
0:08:51 > 0:08:53THEY LAUGH
0:08:53 > 0:08:55One is just not good enough!
0:08:55 > 0:08:56I have to have two.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I have to have two, I have to have two.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00But will two make you double the profit?
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- Hello.- You need some help? - I'd love some help. Oh!
0:09:05 > 0:09:06I've hit my head already.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Enter with a chandelier on your head, I like it.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- Hello, Christina.- Hello, Christina, it's Matthew.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Matthew, lovely to meet you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Peter and Wendy very cleverly spotted this pair of chimney pots.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Or near pair, and we found that label on it, Matthew.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22What's the potential price on those?
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Is that the price for the two of them?
0:09:24 > 0:09:25I'll find it, it might just be one
0:09:25 > 0:09:27but we'll see what we can do on the price for you.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- You got to love a trier, haven't you?- Yes, we'll see what we can do.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Brilliant, Matthew, thank you so much.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- Gosh, he's helpful, isn't he? - Isn't he?- Yeah, I love that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37You'll like him even more if he does you a good deal.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39We'll have to wait and see.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Now, what have the Reds found?
0:09:44 > 0:09:47- You can't buy something for me, John!- No, no.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Oh, yes, Deborah has the eye for cool stuff, John.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52You're just here to cart things around.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Tell us about it, John.
0:09:54 > 0:09:55LAUGHTER
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Off you go, John!- It's a lighter.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59- Yes.- It's a big 'un.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It IS a big 'un.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- Oh.- Is it a Zippo?
0:10:04 > 0:10:07This one's sadly not a Zippo.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10It's a copy of the brand we're talking about.
0:10:10 > 0:10:11They used to be cool.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15You used to get these things with enamel fronts, with decorations.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17The Vietnam vets would always have these things.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20It was an American thing, it was bombproof.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23It would light in the rain, it would light in the wind,
0:10:23 > 0:10:24that was the whole idea.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27You'd always get a light from a Zippo.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29We could see if we could get a deal on that.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Get a price on it. It's down for 32 at the moment.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Shall we see?
0:10:33 > 0:10:35All right, stay there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38While the Reds are after a smoking hot deal on the lighter,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41what's the word on the chimney pots?
0:10:41 > 0:10:46Well, they are 48 each but we will do 70 for the pair.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51OK. What's your thoughts, guys?
0:10:51 > 0:10:5365 and definitely yes.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57- 60?- No, I really think £60 would be better.
0:10:57 > 0:11:0260 gives us an opportunity to make a profit, doesn't it?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04We'll do 60 for you.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Yeah?- Definitely.- £60.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Oh, my goodness, speedy buyers.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Thank you, Matthew, what a star.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12I love them. There we go, one down.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Well done, team, I like your style.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17You called yourself a cheapskate, Pete,
0:11:17 > 0:11:18and it certainly paid off then.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21That's buy number one sorted on the ten-minute mark.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Will the Reds be next with the £32 lighter?
0:11:25 > 0:11:32- Hello.- Right, your jumbo lighter, I can do it for 25, the very best.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- You couldn't pull an extra one out for you?- I can't.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37If we do 24...
0:11:37 > 0:11:41They bid 20, 25, 30 and if we could get it for that then...
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- That's a point, that's a point. - ..it gives us a quid.- 24.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- Oh, lovely.- Thank you very much, thank you.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Thank you.- Thank you, Lesley. Thank you very much.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Brilliant. Marvellous.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55John, your first purchase.
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Well done.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Squeeze them for the extra pound, eh?
0:11:58 > 0:12:02I wonder if that tactic will pay off when you go to auction?
0:12:02 > 0:12:0412 minutes for the first purchase.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06That's not bad. High five.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10We're high-fiving already. This is a good sign.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- A very good sign.- But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14Each team has two items to go.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- Now, the decanter.- Yes.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Pass the port.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25No, it's not big enough, is it?
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Well, in my house, that would last about five seconds!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Are you talking about the decanter itself or what goes inside it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Either way, it's staying put, but hang on,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Christina has spotted something else her team might like.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Guys, I've dragged you into this really rather tight corner here
0:12:42 > 0:12:44to show you this.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45A butler's stand,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49because everybody, of course, who was anybody had a butler.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- I love the legs.- Those little bobbin-turned legs are lovely.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- They're gorgeous.- It's a bit of a gift because it has been buried
0:12:55 > 0:12:56under this sea of books.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Perhaps the others haven't seen it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Unfortunately, I'm going to make you work for your purchases.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Let's form a chain, guys, throw me those books.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07- Ready?- Let's make a book pile.
0:13:07 > 0:13:08Thank you.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10Great work, Blues,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13I can't wait to get chapter and verse on this butler's table.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Let's have a good look at it.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17What have we got going on here?
0:13:17 > 0:13:21So, we've got a split at the front there, which is worrying,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25but we have got all the original handles, which is lovely there.
0:13:25 > 0:13:30I mean, yes, it has been used, but I still think as an interior piece,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34£88, that is not bad, guys. That's not bad at all.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36What do you think we might get in an auction for it?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38It should be £60 to £100.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Let's go and see if we can ask Matthew
0:13:42 > 0:13:44about a potential price on this.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50It's got £88 on it, Matthew, what's your thoughts on price?
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Would 68 be OK for you?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54What's your thoughts, guys?
0:13:54 > 0:13:58Well, I'll tell you what, one of my favourite prices is £60.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- £60? I think like 60 as well. - Oh, wow!- You're marvellous, Matthew!
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Thank you very much.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- I like this man.- Oh, come on, ladies, give Pete some credit.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09He's the one getting all the money off.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- You're an angel, thank you so much, Matthew.- Thank you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15It's going fantastically, two items in 20 minutes.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16They've been a brilliant team
0:14:16 > 0:14:19and I'm pretty pleased with them, really.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21I can't believe we found two items in 20 minutes.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23- That's right.- I thought we were going to be
0:14:23 > 0:14:24really rushing at the end.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Well, you do see people rushing
0:14:27 > 0:14:32but we've still got about 40 minutes to find one item.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- Gosh!- We might get a cup of tea.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Don't set your heart on that cuppa, Pete.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Time has a habit of flying by.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43Now, while the teams are busy shopping,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I've come to a quiet corner of the antiques centre.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48However, it won't be quiet for long
0:14:48 > 0:14:51because I'm joined by Michael Ryder...
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Hello, Michael.- Hello, Natasha. - ..of the Musical Museum
0:14:53 > 0:14:55just up the road at Kew Bridge.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59You've brought along this fabulous collection of musical boxes?
0:14:59 > 0:15:06Yes, we trace the early history of recorded sound at the museum
0:15:06 > 0:15:09and these are just three of the smallest of our instruments.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11We have huge ones.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14The earliest one is this little musical box here,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17made about 1860 by Nicole Freres.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22And it has a barrel with lots of little pins on it
0:15:22 > 0:15:24and a tuned steel comb
0:15:24 > 0:15:28so the little pins pluck the comb and that's what makes it play.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Can we get a rendition?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Would you like to switch it on?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Absolutely, just at the side? OK.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37Oh, watch it go.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40MUSIC BOX PLAYS TUNE
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Oh, well, it certainly sounds as good as it looks.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53What a fantastic noise!
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Tell me, who would have owned a musical box like this?
0:15:56 > 0:16:01Well, a box like that would have probably been owned by an
0:16:01 > 0:16:03upper-middle-class household.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It provided a treasured possession
0:16:05 > 0:16:09that you're showing off to your friends and neighbours and things.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12How rare is this? What kind of value would it have at auction?
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Well, one like this, I think £1,500,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19something like that if you bought it today.
0:16:19 > 0:16:20In this instrument over here,
0:16:20 > 0:16:24you can see it's got a disc in it and you can see there's holes in it,
0:16:24 > 0:16:26but all those holes are is
0:16:26 > 0:16:30the metal's been punched through to the back to make a pin.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33But the big advantage of that is,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36you can take that disc out and put a different one in,
0:16:36 > 0:16:40so you could gradually build up a collection of all the latest tunes.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44A bit like gramophone records and so on.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48This was made in Switzerland by a company called Abrahams.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- OK.- Shall we play it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I'd love to have a listen, actually,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55to see how the sound quality differs, if at all.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59MUSIC BOX PLAYS TUNE
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Now, I've got two examples here in front of me,
0:17:12 > 0:17:14both based around metal,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16but then here, I see we're onto paper.
0:17:16 > 0:17:21This is one of those light bulb experiences.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25Someone thought, if we could find a cheaper technology,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27we could mass market it to more people.
0:17:27 > 0:17:33They introduced this idea of a paper roll with holes punched in it
0:17:33 > 0:17:39and they used suction, vacuum, to trigger the whole instrument,
0:17:39 > 0:17:43to make it play. The company that made this was
0:17:43 > 0:17:46called the Mechanical Organette Company
0:17:46 > 0:17:52and this was from around the 1890s, that sort of period of time.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54So, can I get to hear this one, too?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- Yes.- Oh, fantastic.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01MUSIC BOX PLAYS TUNE
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Oh, beautifully played, sir.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Thank you for that. I have to say, out of the three,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26that's my favourite sound. Thank you, Michael.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Thank you.- I'm delighted to have been introduced to such a
0:18:29 > 0:18:32fantastic-looking and sounding collection.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And on that note,
0:18:34 > 0:18:36it's now time to head back to our teams
0:18:36 > 0:18:39to see if they're still in harmony with one another.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45With 30 minutes left on the clock,
0:18:45 > 0:18:49the Blues have bought two items while the Reds have just the one.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50- The table?- I like the table.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53The table's nice, but, no, it's not quite right.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Not cool enough for you, Deborah?
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Well, that's fine, but remember the clock is ticking.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04- What are you looking at? - I like that. What do you think?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05- I like them.- You do?
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- I do.- That's nice. John? Where's John?
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- I'm right beside you! - Don't creep up on me like that!
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- What are they? - They are pram rattles.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Birds and butterflies, antique.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19That is so, so delicate.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22That has never been played with.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25Date wise, probably 1920s, maybe 1930.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Brought back, I would say,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31from China or Hong Kong and not been used.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34These are the original clips that would go on to the pram.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36- That goes on there.- Or the cot.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40That's it. So the child can watch them or play with them,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43almost like a mobile. They're lovely.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- What is it at the moment?- 65.
0:19:46 > 0:19:4865, I was hoping to get closer to 50.
0:19:48 > 0:19:5255 is the very best I could do.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53You get a free box.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59- Once again, can I just ask you to take that pound off?- 54?
0:19:59 > 0:20:03All right, I don't see them very often, you may hurt me.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- All right.- Thank you. - Thanks so much, thank you.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08That's cracking, Reds, well done.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10One more item to go.
0:20:10 > 0:20:1420 minutes to do it in and if ever you've been on this programme,
0:20:14 > 0:20:17you know that goes in a nanosecond.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20So, I'm bit concerned, I need to push them on.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23The hour seems to be shrinking a lot.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25We just need a little bit more time.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Yeah, everyone says that, John,
0:20:27 > 0:20:30but you and the Blues only have 20 minutes left. Chop chop!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35This little silver case.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38I'm not absolutely sure what they're called
0:20:38 > 0:20:41but I don't think I've ever used one!
0:20:42 > 0:20:44- Are you sure?- It's a little compact.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46Compact, that's the word.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48That is exactly right. That decoration on the top there,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50it's almost got a milled effect there, hasn't it?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52That's called engine-turned decoration.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- Engine-turned? Yes.- What sort of era do you think this has come from?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Think of angles, think of combinations in colours.
0:21:00 > 0:21:021920s?
0:21:02 > 0:21:03Exactly. We're thinking Art Deco.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05Art Deco, that's the word.
0:21:05 > 0:21:06If it was Victorian,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09it would be covered in flowers and foliage and embossed.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's see if we can find a maker's...
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Oh, that's nice, it's got its original little powder net in there,
0:21:16 > 0:21:17which is really sweet.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Can I ask you to hold that, darling?
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Obviously, a mirror in the top.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25This is the compact that belonged to a lady who would have gone to
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Claridge's, who would have gone to the Ritz.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30She wouldn't have gone to the Crown down t'road! You know?
0:21:30 > 0:21:33This is an elegant lady who has used this.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37The only thing I would say, it's got £129 on it, guys.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39We have got time to spare.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- OK.- It is on the top side of expensive.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Let's go and have a look for some more silver.
0:21:43 > 0:21:44We can come back for that.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49- Yes.- I think that is a little gem. Come on, let's keep going.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Don't browse for too long, Christina, only 15 minutes to go.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Now, what have the Reds found on their travels?
0:21:56 > 0:21:57This is what we saw, David.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I don't know, see what you think.
0:22:00 > 0:22:01The travel case.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Oh, there's your Art Deco.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- Yeah.- I suppose for perfume or aftershave.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Right, so we're going to look for nibbles and chips.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Oh, a nice tight fit, can you feel?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Oh, listen to that as they come out, it's almost like a suction.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22So, date wise, I would guess 1930.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You've got a hard side to it as well.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28This is not just a soft leather case, there's a hard side,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30so that made to travel.
0:22:30 > 0:22:31That's fantastic.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Fantastic. Made for travelling.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Do you love them or what?
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I'd like to know what your thought is on the price.
0:22:37 > 0:22:4385? Auction, 30 to 50, 40 to 60, but don't forget, a lot of the times,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45you put 30 to 50 and they make 100 quid.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Shall I go and get lovely Lesley?
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Yes, please.- She's going to be so fed up with us!
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Backwards and forwards.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Shake a leg, Mr Harper, there are only ten minutes left.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57This is the time for quick decisions.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02I still think silver and quality,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04you're quite right.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05You want the compact, don't you?
0:23:05 > 0:23:07I do want the compact, yes.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Providing we can get it for a decent price.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Now, who's in charge of haggling?
0:23:14 > 0:23:15She's the haggler.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17But you're doing a much better job than me.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21Let's all go and find Matthew and see what we can do.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Just remember to play it cool
0:23:22 > 0:23:25when you speak to Matthew about the price.
0:23:25 > 0:23:30Now, what's happening with the Art Deco travel case, Reds?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32He can't do any less than 75.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- Oh!- He really can't.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Even 74?
0:23:37 > 0:23:39You know me.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Oh, £1 off.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- You could do that yourself, couldn't you?- Go on, yes.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Right.- What do you think?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50You've got a very good technique there, very winning.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Yeah, it's clever.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- What do you think, John? - I like it, I do like it.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Shall we? Risk it?
0:23:57 > 0:23:58Yes.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Marvellous.- Thanks, Lesley. - Thank you very much.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Well done, you two.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Winners.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- Well done.- I really like it, I like it all.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11I can't believe it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Great stuff, Reds,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15you're done and dusted with five minutes to go.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18The Blues now need to make up their minds on the silver compact.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20We sort of...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22we don't really like that compact.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- Right.- But we feel we ought to buy it, maybe.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27But it has to be at the right price.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28The death on that would be £90.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Oh.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Oh. Hmm.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- They're brilliant, aren't they? - I don't think we would
0:24:35 > 0:24:37make on that.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41- I think we could go as far as 80. - Could you do it for 80?
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Unfortunately he did say 90 was the best he could do on that.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48What about if we met in the middle and said 85?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Do you want to do it?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Yes.- Shall we shake Matthew's hand?
0:24:52 > 0:24:54- Yes.- It's a deal?
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Matthew, that's a deal.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59- £85, thank you very, very much. - Very grateful.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04It's time to face the music, teams, your 60 minutes are up.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05That's it. Well done.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15Will the jumbo lighter spark some interest at the auction?
0:25:15 > 0:25:16£24 paid.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22These pram rattles passed Deborah's cool test
0:25:22 > 0:25:24and they forked out £54 for the pair.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29And finally, the set of Art Deco travel bottles
0:25:29 > 0:25:32was their most expensive buy. It cost them £74.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37Well done.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Best of friends after that hour? - Still talking?- We are.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Come on, let's talk favourite item.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Which was yours, Deborah?
0:25:44 > 0:25:47It's got to be the Chinese pram toys.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51OK, do you think they're going to bring the biggest profit at auction?
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I'm hoping so.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56So, John, which was your favourite item of the three?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58My favourite item has got to be the lighter, hasn't it?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Yeah, you spotted that. - Oh, I love that thing.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03The biggest profit?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07It's difficult between the other two, to choose, to be honest.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Either could pip it. - I tell you what's difficult,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11getting a straight answer from either of you.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16What about money? 152 spent, so one of you has £148.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Ah, she is in charge, that's right.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Then you need that as well.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24OK, so it's quite a hefty sum I'm handing to you, David.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- Oh, it is.- Do you have any idea of what you're going to do with it?
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Not really. Just again,
0:26:29 > 0:26:34to make that collection even wilder than it is currently.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Well, David will have his work cut out to make this collection even
0:26:37 > 0:26:42stranger. Right, it's time to remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46This pair of chimney pots was £60 but was it a smoking hot deal?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Christina spotted the Edwardian butler's tray
0:26:51 > 0:26:53and they got it for £60.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58And Peter fell in love with the silver compact
0:26:58 > 0:27:01but will he be made up when the hammer falls? £85 paid.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Well, husband and wife and a brilliant Blue team, well done!
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Thank you.- It was so nice of you, Wendy,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10to let Peter get a look in at the end!
0:27:10 > 0:27:12THEY LAUGH
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Peter, which was your favourite of the three?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Oh, definitely the compact.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19Do you think that compact
0:27:19 > 0:27:21is going to bring the biggest profit at auction?
0:27:21 > 0:27:25I think it is. I don't know what the other two think.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Well, let's find out from Wendy first of all. Favourite item, Wendy?
0:27:29 > 0:27:32I do absolutely adore my garden chimney pots.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33Is that because you love gardening?
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I love organising my garden and I love making it look different,
0:27:37 > 0:27:40and that would make any garden look different.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45You spent £205, which means I need £95 from you, please.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47£95 you shall have.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49I'll hand it straight over to Christina.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Thank you kindly. I was expecting a pound!
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I did warn you. - This is a huge bonus!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57What are you thinking, then, seeing as you got more than you were
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- expecting?- I think I should probably get something for Peter, really.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Oh!- Come on, we got everything else.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Let's be honest.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Well, let's leave Christina to spend all that money on Peter and in the
0:28:08 > 0:28:10meantime, let's head to the auction.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18'We've left Kingston upon Thames'
0:28:18 > 0:28:21'and come to SAS Auctions in Newbury,'
0:28:21 > 0:28:24with my old pal Thomas Plant. How are you?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26- Very good.- Thank you for having Bargain Hunt along.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29It's always a pleasure. We love having Bargain Hunt here.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Well, we're pleased to be here. Six interesting items.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Let's see how interesting you find them.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36We'll start off with the Reds.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38This large lighter.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Yeah, it's a very large lighter.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42If you had a big open fire,
0:28:42 > 0:28:45a log burner and you needed something to light it with, well,
0:28:45 > 0:28:47you've got your big novelty lighter.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51OK, so table lighter, novelty lighter, log burner lighter,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54- how much is it worth? - Well, £20 to £30.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58OK, well, John had to have it and together they paid £24.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- It's a bit of fun, isn't it? - It's a bit of fun.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03I think that's going to go down quite well, actually.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Yeah, it is.- Now, let's move on to these interesting rattles.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10I mean, they've being sold as pram rattles but is there another
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- function there, do you reckon?- Well, I think they're for candlesticks.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17Ah, so the light would come through the thin picture.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21Whilst there is a bit of ambiguity as to what they are, they do rattle.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24They do make a noise. So, rattles is how we'll describe them.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25- Yeah, definitely. - What are they worth?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I think they're worth £30 to £50.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31OK, together the team, led by Deborah, they paid £54.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Well, they could make it. That does seem like the top end.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- It could happen.- OK, well, we'll see what happens.
0:29:37 > 0:29:42Then we move onto these lovely Art Deco travelling scent bottles
0:29:42 > 0:29:45with the case. How much do you love it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:46I think it's lovely, I really do.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It's very stylish, it's quite reserved.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50It would adorn anybody's dressing table.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52Do you think the fact it's not a precious metal
0:29:52 > 0:29:53is really going to hamper its chances?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55I mean, it was reflected on what we put on it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- Which was?- £40 to £60.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00OK, well, the team paid £74 for the bottles.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I can understand. I can see that, they're quality items.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06But you think they might struggle to get that?
0:30:06 > 0:30:07If they were silver, definitely.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11OK, Thomas, our auctioneer, thinks the Reds might need their bonus buy,
0:30:11 > 0:30:14so let's see what David, our expert, bought.
0:30:15 > 0:30:19Well, Deborah, John, you obviously are best of friends
0:30:19 > 0:30:22and you invited David into the fold. You had lots of money left.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27- What did you spend it on?- Lots of money. OK, it's all about the size.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Behold that baby!
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Wow!
0:30:31 > 0:30:33A great response there.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35Feel the weight of that as well.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37That is really heavy.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39It looks like boiled sweets.
0:30:39 > 0:30:40It does, doesn't it?
0:30:40 > 0:30:41It's a big globule of glass
0:30:41 > 0:30:44and you've got those gilt inclusions in there.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48This is a hand-blown piece of modern art glass.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- How old is it if it's modern?- 1970.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54I'm bringing you right up to date here, John!
0:30:54 > 0:30:55- So, how much was it?- 30 quid.
0:30:55 > 0:30:5730 quid, and it's a bargain.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02I'd buy it for 30 quid every day of the week, ten times.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- It's fantastic.- No, I love it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07It could double its money.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09Why not? It should be worth a couple of hundred quid.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Well, the Reds seem half sold but let's not forget David is the
0:31:13 > 0:31:17mid-century man, so let's see what our auctioneer thinks of the vase.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22OK, Thomas, let me show you this seriously heavy bit of glass.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25What do you think of this bit of retro?
0:31:25 > 0:31:29Well, it is seriously heavy and that's an indication of age as well.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31If it was '50s, it would be a bit lighter.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33And the quality would have been there, but I like it.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35Well, estimate, does that reflect it?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- 30 to 50, yeah.- I'll tell you what, David got it for £30.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Well, David did very well.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41He's a clever man and hopefully
0:31:41 > 0:31:44this red vase will do well for our Red team.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48But now it's time to go Blue over here with Peter and Wendy.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50We start not on the table but to the side of it
0:31:50 > 0:31:52with these big chimney pots.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Terracotta.- They're lovely. They're just right for here.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58These are the kind of things that would adorn anybody's garden here in
0:31:58 > 0:32:01West Berkshire. We've estimated them at £60 to £80.
0:32:01 > 0:32:02OK, fantastic.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Wendy spotted these and they only paid 60.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06Oh, well, great!
0:32:06 > 0:32:10Another of Wendy's choices was this butler tray.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12And stand, let's not forget the stand.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Is it run-of-the-mill, or does it pack a punch?
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Yeah, I love these butler's trays. I think they're great fun.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21It's one of those things to have in the corner of your room,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23your bathroom or spare room
0:32:23 > 0:32:26or just in your living room. Put your drinks on it.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28How much is it worth, Thomas?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30£70 to £90, they are dead popular.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33OK, fantastic. Well, once again, Wendy spotted a bargain,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- £60 she paid for it. - I like it, well done, Wendy.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Good work from Wendy. Now Peter's turn to come to the fore
0:32:39 > 0:32:41because he spotted this compact.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It is silver with a bit of silver gilt, so what do you think?
0:32:44 > 0:32:461949, Birmingham?
0:32:46 > 0:32:50It is 1949, it is a lovely compact.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Actually, I think there's a bit of gold on it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54It's a quality item, however...
0:32:54 > 0:32:56However, there's always a but.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59There's always a but with this. It is a compact.
0:32:59 > 0:33:00Is it just one compact too many?
0:33:00 > 0:33:04- (We see a lot.)- What do you think people will pay for this one?
0:33:04 > 0:33:06It's a quality item, £70 to £100.
0:33:06 > 0:33:10OK, again, this was Peter's choice and he paid the most money,
0:33:10 > 0:33:12he paid £85 for this item.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- It's got a small chance.- I think they'll be pleased because that was
0:33:15 > 0:33:17a pretty healthy appraisal from you, Thomas,
0:33:17 > 0:33:18but just in case they need it,
0:33:18 > 0:33:22let's find out what Christina bought as a bonus buy.
0:33:22 > 0:33:23Well, Peter and Wendy,
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I think we can safely say the story of your shop was variety.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Everything from compacts to chimney pots.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33So, Christina, £95, what have you thrown into the mix?
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Well, variety is the spice of life, is it not?
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Is it not?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- I absolutely love that. - It is exactly what I was looking at.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Really?- Yes.- What a reaction.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49Fantastic. We've got a 19th-century pitch pine collection box.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Obviously, it would have been an ecclesiastical piece,
0:33:52 > 0:33:54possibly in a chapel or a church, something like that.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- You like this?- Yes, but... - But how much did you pay?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00I paid 40 for it.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03- Very good.- You couldn't make it for that.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05It's a great fun thing.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I think, hopefully, it should make 50 to 70, 60 to 100.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10- Really? Is that a promise?- Gosh.
0:34:10 > 0:34:11No.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14THEY LAUGH
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- It's lovely.- Lovely, indeed.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18It's a seriously positive reaction from the Blues
0:34:18 > 0:34:21but it's time to find out if our auctioneer thinks
0:34:21 > 0:34:24this collection box is a saint or a sinner.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27It's obviously a church collection box.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30A nice bit of oak. And probably from the turn of the 20th century?
0:34:30 > 0:34:34Yeah, I would say very late 19th, early 20th century.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Why would you have a collection box?
0:34:36 > 0:34:37I don't know.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I mean, you could make a feature of it at home.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Every time that someone swears,
0:34:42 > 0:34:44you could put money in there or if someone does a good deed,
0:34:44 > 0:34:46you could put money in there, or something.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Do you know, I never thought about that. I like that.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You could make a feature out of it.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52What's it worth, now that it's in this new context?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54£50 to £80.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58OK, well Christine has done pretty well because she paid £40 for it.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00- Oh, well done, her. - And she did have 95 to spend,
0:35:00 > 0:35:01so she saved some money
0:35:01 > 0:35:04and I think it's an interesting thing at that sort of price.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Yeah, and I think that's how I'm going to sell it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09OK, and talking of selling, you'll be on the rostrum today?
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Of course.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I can't wait.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15£20? 20 I have.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17It's in the room at £20.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19At 20.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20The gavel is up.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Well, on Bargain Hunt, it's all about the auction, isn't it,
0:35:23 > 0:35:25in the end? Here we are, standing.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Are you nervous, John?
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Anticipating...
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- Yeah, I am.- What about you, Deborah, how are you feeling?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- I'm terrified!- Oh, bless.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36All I can say is the next time you hear the gavel go on the rostrum,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39which was right there, it means your lot is up next.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43- Here we go.- A large petrol lighter with brushed stainless steel.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45There we are.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Start the bidding with me here at £10.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49There's got to be a £10 note here for this.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52'This is a fabulous piece of iconic lighter design.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55'5 then. Start me here at 5.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57'Surely, ladies and gentlemen?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59'£5?'
0:35:59 > 0:36:00£1?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02No!
0:36:02 > 0:36:035 we've got.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05THEY CHEER
0:36:05 > 0:36:075 once, 5 twice.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09Well, that just happened.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11- That happened.- Welcome to my world.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15The lighter sold for 5, which means you've lost 19.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19So, here we have the rattles, which Thomas loved.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22These are probably going to be for your candles, not for a pram,
0:36:22 > 0:36:27but I've got bids here with us at 45 and 50 already online.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30'And 5, and 60 online.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32'60, 75, 80 online.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34'£80 online and £90 online.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35'At £90.'
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Are we done? 90, it is.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39- Yes!- £90!
0:36:40 > 0:36:42You brilliant people.
0:36:42 > 0:36:48That is a profit of £36, which means you are £17 in profit.
0:36:48 > 0:36:52£17 in profit, so now it all depends on our Art Deco bottles.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Here they come, here they come.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56'Start the bidding with me here at £30.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57'30 I have.'
0:36:57 > 0:37:005, 40.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02It's climbing.
0:37:02 > 0:37:0345. 45, it is.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05The gentleman's bid at 45.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07At £45.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11'Just imagine your cologne in here as you travel round the country.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12'45 I have.'
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Once, twice.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17Oh, again!
0:37:17 > 0:37:19OK, so they've made a loss this time,
0:37:19 > 0:37:22minus 29, but you had a small profit,
0:37:22 > 0:37:24which means that you are only minus 12,
0:37:24 > 0:37:26so now's the time to consider
0:37:26 > 0:37:28whether or not you're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Let me remind you, that gorgeous big vase.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- I'd like to.- Let's do it.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Could be the thing to take you out of loss.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- If it does...- OK, we'll do it.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39- Just to be clear, going with the bonus buy.- Absolutely.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Well, let me tell you, David paid £30 for it.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Thomas thinks, 30 to 50.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45- Good.- So, fingers crossed.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47'Stylish piece here.
0:37:47 > 0:37:48'Quite a heavy piece of glass,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51'I can start the bidding with me here at £20.'
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Start me here at 20.
0:37:52 > 0:37:53£20 for starters.
0:37:53 > 0:37:5520 I have.
0:37:55 > 0:37:56'It's in the room at £20.'
