Today's fair is at Oswestry in Shropshire. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:05 | |
Situated on the border of England and Wales, | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
it's had two sides fighting over territory for many years. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
Once believed to be a Welsh settlement, | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
the area then became part of England. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:18 | |
The Welsh took it back for a bit in the 12th century, | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
until the Act of Union in 1536 put the town back in England, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:29 | |
where it still lies. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
But the only battle that we're interested in today | 0:00:31 | 0:00:35 | |
is between the Reds and the Blues, | 0:00:35 | 0:00:37 | |
so let's go Bargain Hunting. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
With stalls inside and out, | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
there are hundreds of items to choose from. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Both teams go into battle with £300 | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
and just one hour on the clock | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
to buy three items to take to auction. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
But who will come out on top? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:20 | |
Let's take a sneaky peek at what's coming up. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
On today's show, the Reds hope to sniff out the bargains... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
I smell a profit. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
..while Thomas has a tough time with the Blues. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
Now, come on. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
Why are you laughing? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
But over at the auction, the Reds are rejoicing. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
Yes! | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
And the Blues are dancing. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
# We're in the money! # | 0:01:45 | 0:01:46 | |
That's all for later. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
So let's meet today's teams. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
We have two happy couples. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
For the Reds we have Pax and Helena. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:57 | |
And for the Blues, Charlotte and Ian. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
Hello, everyone. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:01 | |
-ALL: -Hello, Anita! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:02 | |
Wonderful, wonderful. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Now, Pax and Helena, tell me how you met. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Gosh, romantic story. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
About 32 years ago, on 31 Squadron in Germany, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
my husband was a bomber pilot on Tornadoes, | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
and I worked for his Wing Commander. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
Oh, yeah, a romantic-looking guy. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
-Oh, very. -Did you go for him at the time? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Well, he more went for me. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
But I resisted, and then a few years later, we met again. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:31 | |
You fell in love all over again. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
Actually never stopped loving him. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Oh, that's lovely, that's lovely. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Now, Pax, I believe your real name is Tony. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Where did Pax come from? | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
Well, it's what, in the air force, we call a tactical call sign. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
I don't know if you've seen the film Top Gun, | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
but they call themselves Maverick and Iceman. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Everyone had a nickname. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
Yes, it's so that it's easier to talk to each other in the air | 0:02:55 | 0:02:58 | |
when you are in the middle of a fight. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
I believe you also have got Helena into flying as well. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
Well, I think she was always quite interested in it, but... | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
Not just the pilots! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
-No. -Since we've been together, | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
Helena has done some flying training. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
When we fly, she sits in the front of the aeroplane | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
and does quite a bit of the flying, as well. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
So, guys, you like to fly high, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
but what will your tactics be out there in the fair today? | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
Well, we are going to spend as much money as we can, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
we want to go for quality, and we'll leave our expert | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
as little as we can. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
-Give him a challenge. -Ah, that's wonderful, | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
so you're going to give it a blast. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:38 | |
-Oh, we are, Anita. -That's our Red team. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
Now let's meet today's Blues. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
It's engaged couple Charlotte and Ian. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
Now, you guys are a new romance. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
How did you meet? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
Well, we just met in a bar in Liverpool and eyes kind of met, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:56 | |
bit of a cliche, just clicked. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
And fell in love across a crowded room? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-Something along those kind of vague lines. -Yes, not too far off. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
Now, Charlotte, you've had quite a career path. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
And you started off as a comedienne? | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
Well, not a very funny one. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Yeah, I did a politics degree and then drama teacher, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
and then I did a little bit of stand-up, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
got told to get a proper job... | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
-Who by? -Parents. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:29 | |
Oh, right. Parents are always like that, aren't they? | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
Stick in the mud, yeah. I'm a landlord now, so complete change. | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
Now, when you are not working, | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
I know that you're a very keen sailor. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
Tell me about that. You have a love for boats. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
I do. I've been sailing for quite a long time. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:44 | |
I sail on the River Mersey. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
And Ian and I, we've, not long ago, | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
just bought our first big boat together. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
-Oh, right, that's fabulous. -Very excited. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:53 | |
So you're a keen sailor as well? | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
Yes, funnily enough, since not long after meeting Charlotte. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
-Oh, right. -I realised fairly early on | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
if I wanted to spend time with Charlotte, | 0:05:01 | 0:05:03 | |
it was something I had to get involved in. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:04 | |
-And they came as a pair? -Yes. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
So, you two guys are used to working very closely together on the boat. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:12 | |
But what are your tactics going to be today? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
Well, spend, spend, spend. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:18 | |
They want to spend big as well! | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
Oh, this is fabulous. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
Well, if you want to spend, spend, spend, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
I think I'm going to have to give you some dosh to do that. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:30 | |
£300 for you, and £300 for you. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
Your experts await, so off you go. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
Thank you. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:39 | |
Masters of the air versus captains of the sea, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
this should be an interesting competition. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
And to help them out are today's experts. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
For the Reds, passing on his knowledge, it's John Cameron. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
And revving into action for the Blues, it's Thomas Plant. | 0:05:56 | 0:06:00 | |
Right, Helena, Pax, what are we going to be buying today? | 0:06:02 | 0:06:05 | |
Well, I'd be quite interested in some quality silver actually, John. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Some small bits? -Yeah. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:09 | |
Good, good, good. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
I'm thinking big and bold, maybe orange, maybe something garish, | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
maybe something useful, maybe something completely useless. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
-HELENA: -I quite like decanters, tantalus, something like that. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
Wine-related antiques? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |
-Absolutely. -Oh, lady after my own heart. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:24 | |
I'm an engineer, I like things that are useful, | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
that people can get benefit from, | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
perhaps a little bit more than the ornamental things. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Right, teams, you've got 60 minutes. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
Go! | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
-Let's go shopping. -Yay! | 0:06:36 | 0:06:37 | |
Let's go! | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
Charlotte's quick to find her funny side. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
-Oh, look at this. -Yes, no? -That's a no. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
While the Reds are straight into the shopping. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-Is that a yoke? A wooden yoke? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Is that something maybe you would put on a wall...? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
It looks like there are some interesting things on here. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
Shall we have a look around? | 0:07:00 | 0:07:01 | |
So, while the Reds scour their first stall, | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
have the Blues started looking seriously yet? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
We are looking for orange, functional... | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-Yes. -..useless... | 0:07:08 | 0:07:09 | |
-And useless. -Well, you know... | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
-But fabulous. -But fabulous as well? -Yeah. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
That narrows it down, doesn't it? | 0:07:14 | 0:07:15 | |
-Anything around here? -Well, I still wondered about that yoke. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
-This is the sort of thing... -Helena said the yoke, John. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Things like this are actually selling | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
and being used in the home now. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
Meanwhile, what have the Blues found? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
It's very nice, very Art Nouveau, isn't it? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
-Hm-mm. -It's functional. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
We're looking at that being Edwardian, very British. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
It's quite restrained Art Nouveau. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:39 | |
Yes. What sort of value would you think would be on that... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-Well... -..at an auction? | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |
At auction, that's got to be £40-£60, maybe 50 to 80. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
So shall I go and ask the stallholder? | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
I think that would be useful, yes. See what we can do on it. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
I suggest you take a closer look. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
We'll do that. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:55 | |
-I think it's quite... -It's got character. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:57 | |
Because it would just paint up, wouldn't it? | 0:07:57 | 0:07:59 | |
I don't know whether that goes with it? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
That will be a Georgian footman. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:04 | |
They're not a pair, but it could work. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:06 | |
-Is it quite heavy? -No, it's quite light. -It's quite light. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
Because they could paint up the same colour, maybe. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:14 | |
Right. I've spoken to the stallholder. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
-OK. -And after a bit of negotiation, | 0:08:16 | 0:08:20 | |
he said you could buy it for £45. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
Really? And there's also that, which could potentially go with it. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
Yes, it could go with it. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
So maybe could we get the two for 45? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
-Based on the fact... -He started at 80, and I got him to 45. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:36 | |
You might have to pay a bit extra to get that, as well. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
Could we... £50 for the two? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
Oh, my gosh! | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
Charlotte, you are a hard person, aren't you? | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
Well, I was thinking 45 for two. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
OK. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Don't ask, don't get. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:50 | |
Thomas, you've got your work cut out here. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
Charlotte, you drive a hard bargain. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:56 | |
Ian, how do you put up with this? | 0:08:56 | 0:08:57 | |
-Every day. -Right, £55 for the two. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:00 | |
-Marvellous. -Marvellous? | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
-That's great. -Yes, let's go for it. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:03 | |
I think it's lovely. It is really cute. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
First item down. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
And it's useful! | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
-Indeed. -But it's not orange. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
-True. -It could be. -Very black. Come on. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Well done, Blues, that's the first item bought in five minutes. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
Meanwhile, Helena finally gets to look at the item | 0:09:17 | 0:09:20 | |
she spotted earlier. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
-Do you like that? -I do like it. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
So, what do you like about it? | 0:09:23 | 0:09:25 | |
It's tactile, it's small, it looks nice, it has a use. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:32 | |
I think it may be a yoke of some sort. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
Certainly looks like that, I can't think of any other use for it. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
And with these leather straps here, | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
it definitely looks like | 0:09:38 | 0:09:39 | |
it's for something of an agricultural use, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:41 | |
doesn't it? Possibly around...maybe a goat, or maybe a donkey. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
The shape and the size of it would suggest | 0:09:45 | 0:09:47 | |
something smaller than an ox, doesn't it? | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
It's to use an animal's strength to drag something along, | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
whether it be a plough or a cart or something like that. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
What about the price? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:57 | |
Got £35 on there. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
Well... Do you think we could get that for a little less? | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
Well, we can only ask. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
He's very good at bartering. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:06 | |
Are you good at bartering, Pax? | 0:10:06 | 0:10:08 | |
Well, sometimes, yes. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:09 | |
Depends what it is. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
-Shall we find out? -You do the words, and I'll smile. -Let's go. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:16 | |
While the Reds are off to negotiate, | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
what's Thomas hanging his reputation on? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-What about this? -Disastrous. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
This is disastrous? £350 is on that. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
Wow. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
-Moving on. -Move on. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
Maybe if it was orange? | 0:10:30 | 0:10:31 | |
Now, Reds, how are the negotiations going? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
So this is £35. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
My wife has taken a shine for it. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
We don't think we could make a profit on that, | 0:10:39 | 0:10:40 | |
so we wondered what you could do for us. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:43 | |
Somewhere down nearer 20, maybe? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:45 | |
My best, because I like Bargain Hunt, would be 25. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-25? -25. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Could we make it just one below that, 24, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
because the bidding tends to go up in fives, doesn't it? | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
If it'll help you, OK, then. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:57 | |
Lovely. Thank you very much. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:59 | |
£24. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:00 | |
Well done, there's your first purchase. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
Excellent. We're off the mark. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
-Yes. -Excited? | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-Yes, I am. -Well-spotted. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
Oh, thank you. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:10 | |
I think I'll go and get a cup of tea and leave you to it! | 0:11:10 | 0:11:12 | |
-You don't need me. -Oh, we do. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
So that's both teams off the mark in under ten minutes. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
Have the Blues found their next item? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
-No, nothing grabbing you here? -Nothing singing out to me. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
-No. -OK. -I think I'd like to move on. -All right. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
The Blues certainly know their mind. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
What about the Reds? | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
Something, again, completely off our strategy | 0:11:31 | 0:11:34 | |
that has caught my eye, is a toy bus garage over here. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
OK, like a diorama-type thing, yes? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-Shall we have a look at it? -Yeah. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:42 | |
Dioramas are modelled depictions of a variety of scenes | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
and are still made by hobbyists to this day. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
It's a nice thing, but... | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
It's nowhere near as nice as it looked from a distance. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:54 | |
So that's a no. | 0:11:54 | 0:11:56 | |
Now, what's caught Thomas's eye? | 0:11:56 | 0:11:59 | |
I rather like that. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
It's Charlotte Rhead, it's blue. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
I mean, I spotted it because I love this frieze around the inner rim. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Have you heard of Charlotte Rhead? | 0:12:06 | 0:12:08 | |
-Yes. -Yeah, a great designer from the Art Deco period. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:12 | |
It's got that sort of vintage look, hasn't it? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Well, it's useful as well, isn't it? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
-Yes. -That's what I like about it. -It's a nice size. | 0:12:17 | 0:12:19 | |
Is there a good market for these? | 0:12:19 | 0:12:21 | |
I think there is, it depends on... | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
You've got £40 on it. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:24 | |
What's the very best on this? | 0:12:24 | 0:12:25 | |
I could do it for 35 for you. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
35, really? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:28 | |
Well, thank you for that. But I was really thinking about £25. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
-Goodness. -Sorry. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
No, shall we settle for... Could we settle for 30? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:37 | |
I was still wanting the 20, so can I meet you halfway and say 28? | 0:12:37 | 0:12:41 | |
-OK. -Are you sure? I'm sorry about that. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
-No, no, we'll go for 28. -Is that OK? -Yes. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
You might have agreed a price, Thomas, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:48 | |
but your team still needs persuading. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
What do you think? | 0:12:50 | 0:12:52 | |
Yes, go on. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:53 | |
It's a nice bowl. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
I like it. It's got a good look. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
Functional. I don't think you would be afraid to put fruit in it, | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-as well as it's decorative, yeah. -It's got a really good look. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:03 | |
You think you've got some profit? | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
I think you have, because it's Charlotte Rhead, it's got a name. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:08 | |
The design is good. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
-I like it. -I think we should go for that. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
-We are definitely going to buy it? -Yes. -28? Brilliant. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
Second item down. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
Loads of money left. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:17 | |
-Loads of money, let's go. -OK. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
So it's a blue bowl for the Blue team. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
How's it going, Thomas? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
They are doing really well. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
I think their weakness is that they are actually quite clever. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
I mean, they are super bright people. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
And they're over-thinking quite a lot of objects. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
So, you know, that impulse buy is like, "Oh, I want to do the impulse, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
"but I don't want to do it | 0:13:38 | 0:13:39 | |
"because I want to think about it a bit longer." | 0:13:39 | 0:13:41 | |
I think follow your gut and see where it goes. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
I think we are doing OK, actually, aren't we? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
Yeah, now we've got the second item in place, yes. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
I think we need to just home in on spending the rest of the lolly. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:53 | |
And we have some money to do it... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
-We do, we've got loads. -..which is great. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
Good to see the Blues are confident. | 0:13:57 | 0:13:59 | |
Let's hope that continues. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:01 | |
Now, what have the Reds sniffed out? | 0:14:01 | 0:14:03 | |
What do you think of that, there? | 0:14:03 | 0:14:04 | |
You've spotted some silver, something shiny, haven't we? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
Let's have a look. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
It's a little silver-mounted perfume bottle. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
-It's nicely etched as well, isn't it? -Yeah. | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
I think it's got a fair bit of work gone into this. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
Is there a mark on there? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
It is not an English mark, and it's a bit rubbed. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
Often you get these in sets that come inside a travelling case. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-Oh, I see. -Sometimes they get separated. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:28 | |
How old do you think that is? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
That looks to me to be Victorian. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
I think it is foreign, I think it's continental, probably French. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
So it's got £110 on it. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-You like the item? -I do. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:37 | |
You think it will be popular at auction? | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
I think, yes, for the right buyer. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
There is a market for perfume bottles, just perfume bottles. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
And it may make a nice gift, as well. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-I'd like it. -You'd like it, let's go over and ask. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
Hello, there. The Red team here have taken | 0:14:51 | 0:14:54 | |
a little shine to the perfume bottle, | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
but we've got to take it to auction, | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
we've got to try and get a profit out of it. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
So you know price is key. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:01 | |
-Yeah. -Over to you, Helena. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
Well, we were wondering... | 0:15:03 | 0:15:04 | |
..could you do 75 on that? | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-I'd do 79, but that's the best I can do. -79? | 0:15:09 | 0:15:12 | |
What are you thinking? | 0:15:12 | 0:15:14 | |
-I'd be happy with that. -Are you happy with that? | 0:15:14 | 0:15:16 | |
-Yes. -Pax? The boss likes it. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:17 | |
Well, the boss is in charge, of course. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
I think we ought to follow the boss, don't you? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
Yeah, absolutely. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:23 | |
£79, would you like to shake the lady's hand? | 0:15:23 | 0:15:25 | |
-We can always come back. -Go on. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-Shake hands, then. -Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-Well done. -Thank you. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:30 | |
£79, it's got a chance, it's got a fighting chance. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
I smell a profit. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:36 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
Let's hope so. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
So with half your shopping time left, what now? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
We have a plan now, don't we? | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
-We do. -Because we seem to have bought two things quite quickly, | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
so now we are going to look everywhere | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
and then make a decision.... | 0:15:50 | 0:15:52 | |
We've done about 50 yards what's here, | 0:15:52 | 0:15:54 | |
and there's 300 yards over here, so we'll have to see how it goes. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
The guys are flying, | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
they seemed rather confident in what they like and what they don't like. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
It's a day out for me at the moment. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
With both teams two items in hand, | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
it's a good time to have a break from shopping. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
Just down the road from Oswestry is the birthplace of Wilfred Owen, | 0:16:17 | 0:16:22 | |
the great war poet, | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
so where better to talk about | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
a couple of panels which have a World War I connection? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:29 | |
This panel shows figures in a landscape, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
and this panel shows deer grazing in a woodland scene. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
Although these are charming, there is no great quality. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:41 | |
There is no great artistry. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
In fact, the backboard started life off as an old tea chest. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:49 | |
But it is on the back... | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
..of the panel that the story begins to unfold | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
and make them much, much more interesting. | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
Inscribed in a handwritten text are the words, | 0:17:01 | 0:17:05 | |
"Made by prisoner of war at Stobs, 1916." | 0:17:05 | 0:17:11 | |
Stobs was one of the largest military camps in Britain. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
And in 1914, it became a prisoner of war camp, | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
and home to some 6,000 prisoners over the next five years. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
Life as a prisoner of war would be terrible. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
At Stobs, prisoners were allowed to make trinkets from found materials, | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
that's really just anything that's lying around, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
and sell them to prison officers, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
visitors or members of the local population. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
These panels are part of that craftwork. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
They illustrate a human story in an inhuman time. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
Now, if these were just decorative panels, | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
they would be worth under £20. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
But with the markings on the back, and the Stobs connection, | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
in a specialist militaria sale, they could fetch over £100. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:09 | |
So, don't just look at an object on the face of it, | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
it could be the story BEHIND the object | 0:18:13 | 0:18:16 | |
that makes it more desirable and, therefore, worth more. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
Back to the shopping, and with only 20 minutes left, | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
both teams still need to buy one item each. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
It's tracted to that shelf unit. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
It's quite a good-looking thing. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
Charlotte's looking really disinterested. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:40 | |
-Does nothing. -Really disinterested. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:41 | |
OK, come on, then. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
So, Charlotte still knows what she DOESN'T like. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
Meanwhile, Pax has spotted something he DOES like. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
I've seen some silver spoons over there. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
Silver spoons and sugar tongs... | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
-OK. -..in a box. | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
They're not plated. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:55 | |
-OK. -Can we have a look at those? | 0:18:55 | 0:18:56 | |
Why not, it's your money? | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
Come on, then. | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
Right, let's have a look at these that you've spotted, Pax. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
They are quite nice. Well, they're a full set. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
And they're not silver. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:11 | |
-They're not? -No, they're not, they're actually plated. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
-Oh, OK. -They look like hallmarks, but they're not. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:16 | |
When you are looking for silver, if it's English silver, | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
the first thing you're looking for is the lion patent. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
A sideways view of a lion. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
But even if they were silver, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
I wouldn't want to pay more than about £25 for them. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:28 | |
We'll leave those, then. It was my mistake. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
-All right. -Thank you. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
We can all make mistakes. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:33 | |
As long as you don't make the same one twice. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:36 | |
Well, that's true. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:38 | |
Keep looking, Reds. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
How are the Blues getting on? | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
Guys, we've done outside, and we could go inside to the stalls, | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
which might have items of... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
..more expensive, but smaller, so my kind of jewellery and silver. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
-Shall we do that? -That sounds like a plan. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
While the Blues head off inside, the Reds have found more spoons, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:59 | |
but this time, they ARE silver. | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
Well, it says silver handles, let's check them out. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
They are hallmarks. | 0:20:04 | 0:20:05 | |
And that's that lion patent I was telling you about. | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
That shows you they're English. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:09 | |
The key thing, though, is condition and completeness. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
So they are not bad, they're not bad. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
What do you think, for a fruit salad or something like that? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
-They've got £75 on them. -What do you think? | 0:20:17 | 0:20:20 | |
I think they've got a good chance of making that sort of money. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:23 | |
Does it matter that the box is a bit tacky? | 0:20:23 | 0:20:26 | |
No, it's the original box. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:28 | |
It's the original box. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:29 | |
I would say, without looking at that hallmark, | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
I would say these probably date to the '30s. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:33 | |
Who is doing the bargaining here? | 0:20:33 | 0:20:36 | |
-45. -So you looked at the wife. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:37 | |
You're a bit like me, aren't you? | 0:20:37 | 0:20:39 | |
We're supposed to be the men of the house, we look to the wife. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:41 | |
I spent my whole working life being in charge, so, you know... | 0:20:41 | 0:20:45 | |
You're submissive now, are you? | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
-Is this true? -Oh, gosh, no. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
-OK. -I wouldn't have him if he was. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
Right, well, actually, I do think Helena's bargaining skills | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
haven't let us down so far. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
-Oh, right. -So shall we find out? | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
See what you can get, Helena. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
OK, you stand with me, though. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
-THEY LAUGH -OK. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
While the Reds go off to find the dealer, | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
how is Thomas getting on? | 0:21:08 | 0:21:09 | |
I think what we need to do is look for something with a bit of pizzazz, | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
a bit of style to it. Yeah? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
I'm thinking orange and maybe amber. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
Good idea, good idea. Let's go and have a look. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
So the Blues still have something colourful in mind. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
Meanwhile, the Reds are about to start negotiating | 0:21:22 | 0:21:24 | |
for those silver spoons. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:26 | |
I need to get something off that. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-OK, what were you thinking? -Well, I was thinking 48. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
48? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:35 | |
Well, I was thinking about 50, so my bottom line was 50, so... | 0:21:35 | 0:21:40 | |
Would you go 49, do you think? | 0:21:40 | 0:21:41 | |
-Yeah, go on, 48, I'll do 48. -Oh, you are kind. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:45 | |
Oh, what a gentleman. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:46 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:21:46 | 0:21:48 | |
He said his bottom line was 50, and he went to 48. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
He's like me. There we are. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:52 | |
Take a leaf out of this woman's book here. | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
Job done, Reds. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:56 | |
Now with just 10 minutes left, | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
Thomas is driving the Blues to find the last item. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
I'm just going to show you, I'll talk you through it, | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
it will have a story. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
The carving on that is absolutely superb, I think. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:09 | |
So, what you've got is a Chinese coconut bowl, halved. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
And this would have been made for our market, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
as the sailors would have gone over there in the 19th century. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
I'm talking, you know, 1850s and onwards. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
You've got this lovely Chinese stamp here. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
It's in remarkably good condition, | 0:22:23 | 0:22:24 | |
because very often the coconut will crack. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
But this is in excellent condition. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
I like that. | 0:22:29 | 0:22:30 | |
-Beautifully carved. -Like the carving, lovely... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
It's very fine, isn't it? | 0:22:33 | 0:22:34 | |
And the quality is lovely. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:37 | |
-And it's useful. -It is useful. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:39 | |
Can I feel for the weight? | 0:22:39 | 0:22:41 | |
Have a feel of it. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
Because coconut is very light. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:44 | |
-Tactile. -Yes, it's tactile, isn't it? | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
What's your very best on that? | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
Well, I've got 150 on it. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
135? | 0:22:52 | 0:22:53 | |
OK. Couldn't squeeze you to 120? | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
If we had 120, we might be able to do a deal, mightn't we? | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
Split it at 125. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:03 | |
125. It's a risk, but it's a good risk. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
And I wouldn't be embarrassed about buying that. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
It's a quality item. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:11 | |
-Yeah. -DEALER: -I think you've got a chance with this at 125. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
I think we'd have a chance at 80, but we're never going to get there. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
You may have a chance at 150. | 0:23:17 | 0:23:19 | |
-Shall we do it? -Well, I think we're running out of time. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:22 | |
We are running out of time. We really are. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:25 | |
-This is it. -I guess... -Decision. | 0:23:25 | 0:23:26 | |
I think we'd probably better go with that one, hadn't we? | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
Let's do it, decision made. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:30 | |
It's very attractive. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
So the Blues are all shopped-up too. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Teams, that's your hour, time's up. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
Well, well done, you two. That's it, third and final item. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
I don't know about you two, but I need a cup of tea. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
Me, too. Let's go. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
Their first buy was Helena's yoke, price paid, £24. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
Next, their silver-mounted perfume bottle. | 0:23:57 | 0:24:00 | |
It cost them £79. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
Finally, the silver spoons, bought for £48, | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
but will they scoop up a profit? | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Well, did you guys have a good time? | 0:24:11 | 0:24:13 | |
-We did. -We had a great time. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:14 | |
What was your favourite item? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:16 | |
The first item we bought, which was the yoke. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
What's going to make the most profit? | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
The most profit, I would imagine to be the spoons. | 0:24:21 | 0:24:25 | |
Pax, what was your favourite? | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
My favourite was the set of spoons. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
What do you think's going to make the most profit? | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
I think the most profit will be made from Helena's choice, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:35 | |
which was the perfume bottle. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
How much money did you spend in total? | 0:24:36 | 0:24:38 | |
151. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:40 | |
I thought you guys were going to spend BIG! | 0:24:40 | 0:24:42 | |
-So did we. -We tried. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:43 | |
Well, will you give me 149? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:48 | |
John, that's quite a lot of dosh. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:51 | |
Do you have something in mind? | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
I've got something I've spotted, yeah, | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
I just need to go back and see if I can get it | 0:24:55 | 0:24:56 | |
at a slightly better price. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
While John goes off and tries to get a great deal, | 0:24:58 | 0:25:01 | |
let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
Will the bidding heat up for the fireplace and fender? | 0:25:05 | 0:25:08 | |
It cost £55. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:10 | |
Next was the Charlotte Rhead ceramic bowl. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
Price paid, £28. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
Finally, the silver and coconut bowl cost them £125. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
Well, guys, did you have a good time? | 0:25:25 | 0:25:27 | |
-It's been great. -We had a smashing day. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
So, Charlotte, | 0:25:30 | 0:25:31 | |
you were very determined about what you did like | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
and what you didn't like. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
Is she always like that? | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
-Of course. -Is that one of the reasons you love her? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
One of the many. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:41 | |
Charlotte, what was your favourite item? | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
I like the coconut bowl, I thought it was very nice. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
I have to agree, I think for me, the way it was made. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:49 | |
Is it going to make the best profit, though? | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
We think maybe the fireplace... | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
-I'd agree. -..might make the most... | 0:25:53 | 0:25:54 | |
So once again, in agreement. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:56 | |
-I think so, yes. -What a couple! | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
They were a pleasure to shop with. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Remind me again how much money you spent? | 0:26:01 | 0:26:04 | |
We've spent £208. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
Will you give me £92? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:09 | |
Not a bad sum of money, Thomas. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:11 | |
It's not a bad sum of money, and I plan to spend the lot. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
-Great. -Oh, marvellous. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:17 | |
So while Thomas goes off to try and spend the lot, | 0:26:17 | 0:26:22 | |
we're going to go off to the auction. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:24 | |
Today we're at | 0:26:31 | 0:26:32 | |
Trevanion and Dean Auctioneers and Valuers in Shropshire, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:36 | |
with auctioneer Christina Trevanion. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
It is such a pleasure to have you here, Anita. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
It's great to be here, Christina. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
It's absolutely wonderful. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
So, for the Reds, Tony and Helena, | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
we really have a table of two halves. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
We have the sparkly, | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
and we have the not so sparkly. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
Our first item is the yoke. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
Does this old yoke make you smile, Christina? | 0:26:59 | 0:27:02 | |
It really does. I think it's just fabulous. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
We are in the right place, we are in a rural county. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
It's the kind of thing that you could put on your wall. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:09 | |
I've put £20 to £30 on it as a good decorative thing. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
They've paid £24, so it's not a lot of money. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
Now, what about this wee scent bottle? | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Isn't this a pretty thing? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
It is so sweet. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:21 | |
What I particularly like about it | 0:27:21 | 0:27:22 | |
is this lovely engraving around the glass. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
Really sweet, they're eternally popular, good sellers. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
And I think it's a nice thing, it's a commercial thing. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
So, possibly French, with a little bit of je ne sais quoi. | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
A lot of je ne sais quoi. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:37 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:27:37 | 0:27:38 | |
What's your estimate? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
I have said £30 to £50 at auction. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
Well, they paid 79, | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
so it's going to need an awful lot of je ne sais quoi... | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
-It really is. -..to make a profit. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:48 | |
We might need a bit of ooh la la on that one. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
And their third item was the cutlery. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
Often when I see cased cutlery like this, my heart sinks. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:58 | |
Because when was the last time we used fish servers? | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
When was the last time we used cased flatware like that? | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
The thing it HAS got going for it is it's King's pattern. | 0:28:03 | 0:28:06 | |
King's pattern, obviously, we get Queen's pattern, | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
we get King's pattern, Albion pattern, Dheli pattern, | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
King's pattern is one of the most popular patterns. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
And what's the estimate? | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Well, I've put £40 to £60 on it. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:17 | |
They paid 48... | 0:28:17 | 0:28:18 | |
-Oh, that's great. -..so I think that they have a chance of a profit... | 0:28:18 | 0:28:22 | |
-Agreed. -..on that so that's excellent. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
They may not need their bonus buy, | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
but we're going to go and have a look at it, anyway. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
Pax, Helena, you gave John £149. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:38 | |
John, what did you buy with it? | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
Well, feast your eyes on these. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:45 | |
-Here we are. -Oh, my goodness. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
A set of six Art Nouveau silver buttons, dating from about 1901, | 0:28:47 | 0:28:52 | |
and people collect just buttons. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:54 | |
So a nice bit of crossover appeal there. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:56 | |
So how much of a dent in the 149 did it make? | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
Well, though they are buttons, they didn't cost buttons, they cost £70. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
But I think that with the internet, | 0:29:02 | 0:29:04 | |
this is the sort of lot that gives us a chance. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
What sort of profit might we make on that? | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
Well, they can make around that sort of money at auction. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
I have checked, but you do see sets exactly the same make over £100. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:16 | |
Does that sound good to you? | 0:29:16 | 0:29:17 | |
-Yes. -It does. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:18 | |
Do you like them? | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
-I do, actually. -They are very pretty. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
But you don't need to make up your mind just now, | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
wait until after your first three items have been sold. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:29 | |
But in the meantime, | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of John's set of buttons. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:35 | |
So, the bonus buy, Christina. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
-Do you like these? -I love them, and we do see them an awful lot. | 0:29:40 | 0:29:44 | |
And they are always beautiful and always sought-after. | 0:29:44 | 0:29:47 | |
Great that you've got a set of six. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
So often we see a set of five, | 0:29:49 | 0:29:50 | |
that somebody has then found a different button, | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
put it in with a set. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
Very beautiful, and I love them. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:55 | |
What's your estimate? | 0:29:55 | 0:29:57 | |
Well, at auction, I've put £60 to £100 on them. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
They've got to be worth that, haven't they? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
They are just beautiful, they really are. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:03 | |
-Well, John paid £70... -OK. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:06 | |
..so there is definitely a chance of a profit there. | 0:30:06 | 0:30:09 | |
Let's hope so, yeah, I think so. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
That's it for the Reds. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:12 | |
Now on to the Blues, Charlotte and Ian. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:16 | |
Now, again, quite a mixture of items. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
-Eclectic. -Pretty and... | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
well, functional. | 0:30:21 | 0:30:22 | |
Tell me what you think about it. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:25 | |
I think it would be great if it was complete, wouldn't it? | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
But it is a bit of a marriage, | 0:30:28 | 0:30:29 | |
and probably not a marriage made in heaven, | 0:30:29 | 0:30:32 | |
because you've got a rather lovely Victorian cast-iron fireplace | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
with a Georgian footman. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:36 | |
If it were complete, I'd be happy. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
What's your estimate? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:40 | |
I've put £30 to £50 on it, I think I've probably been a bit mean, | 0:30:40 | 0:30:43 | |
but it just needs so much doing to it. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:45 | |
Well, they paid £55 on it, so they might nearly be there. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:50 | |
Their next lot was the Charlotte Rhead. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
Now, this isn't typical of Charlotte Rhead. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
It's an incredibly pretty bowl. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:57 | |
And I'm a huge admirer of the Rheads. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:00 | |
I think what's actually particularly nice about this example | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
is you can see the influence of her father, Frederick, who was so, | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
so incredibly talented at his pate-sur-pate. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
And you can see that here. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:09 | |
Because pate-sur-pate, of course, | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
is the sort of layering of enamels | 0:31:11 | 0:31:12 | |
to create this wonderful sort of, almost translucent effect. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
And I just think it's beautiful. I love it. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:17 | |
And for someone who collects Charlotte Rhead, | 0:31:17 | 0:31:21 | |
then that would be a perfect example of her early work. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:25 | |
Very pretty, what's your estimate? | 0:31:25 | 0:31:26 | |
Well, I've put £30 to £50 on it. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:28 | |
Well, that's wonderful because they've only paid £28. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:32 | |
-Oh, brilliant. -So perhaps a profit... | 0:31:32 | 0:31:35 | |
-That's good. -..for Charlotte Rhead. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:36 | |
Excellent, excellent. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
Now their third item is this oriental bowl. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
Coconut shell and silver. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
The Oriental market is hot just now. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:47 | |
Yeah, it is, it really is. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:48 | |
What's really, really nice is the carving is so particularly lovely. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
All these wonderful scholars, attributes, these wonderful mondes. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
So often you see these and they're cracked. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:58 | |
And this is really in very good condition still, | 0:31:58 | 0:32:00 | |
and a nice mark on the bottom. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:01 | |
We've had quite a lot of interest in this, so I'm hoping, | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
hoping that you'll get two very competitive buyers with it. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
Now, what's your estimate on that? | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
Well, I've put £60 to £100 on it. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
I think it's a nice piece. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
-What have they paid? -£125. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
That's not too bad, it could get there. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
-It could get there. -Yeah, and more, hopefully. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
OK. They seem to be doing not too badly. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
A bit of a rollercoaster, isn't it? | 0:32:24 | 0:32:25 | |
They may not need their bonus buy, | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
but we are going to go and have a look at it, anyway. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
Charlotte, Ian. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
Well, you spent £208 and gave Thomas £92. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:38 | |
-What did you buy? -I said I'd spend a lot, and I bought you... | 0:32:38 | 0:32:42 | |
He's a little Black Forest carved inkwell. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
Now, come on. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:46 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:32:46 | 0:32:47 | |
Why are you laughing? | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
Ian, I want you to hold it, have a look at it. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
It's continental, probably carved in | 0:32:52 | 0:32:53 | |
the Black Forest in southern Germany. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:55 | |
It's an unusual face. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:57 | |
Real expression, he's got these wonderful little glass eyes. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:00 | |
And it's an inkwell, so I've got double collectors there. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
I've got inkwell collectors and Black Forest collectors. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
How much did you pay for it? | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
-I told you, I spent the lot. -Go on. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
-£90. -BOTH: -No way. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:11 | |
Yes, 100%. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
-Back of the net. -OK. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:15 | |
It's unusual, it's strange. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |
It is, it certainly is, isn't it? | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |
And you think it will make, how much? | 0:33:21 | 0:33:24 | |
Oh, it's going to make hundreds. | 0:33:24 | 0:33:25 | |
-OK. -Hundreds of pounds. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
-Ker-ching! -I've never, ever seen another one. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
-I can understand that. -Honestly, you guys hate it that much? | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
I've never seen... He looks marvellous. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:37 | |
Now you don't seem too convinced on this one. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
-No. -But you don't need to make up your mind just now. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:44 | |
But in the meantime, | 0:33:44 | 0:33:45 | |
let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Thomas's scary inkwell. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:50 | |
Right, Christina. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:53 | |
Now, what do you think? | 0:33:53 | 0:33:56 | |
Do you want me to be honest? | 0:33:56 | 0:33:57 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
Be honest, Christina. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:01 | |
Let's focus on the good things. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
I mean, I think it's an interesting thing. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
The market at the moment wants everything that's quirky, | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
unusual and well done. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
And I think it ticks those boxes. | 0:34:11 | 0:34:12 | |
I have estimated it at £20 to £30, I really don't rate it hugely highly, | 0:34:12 | 0:34:16 | |
but I'm fully prepared to be wrong. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
Thomas has paid £90 for this scary carving. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:22 | |
OK. A scary carving. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
Shall I amend the catalogue description to say that? | 0:34:25 | 0:34:27 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:34:27 | 0:34:29 | |
But it is an unusual item, and the market likes novelty items. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
It certainly does, yes. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:34 | |
So I'm hoping it will treble my estimate, I hope so. | 0:34:34 | 0:34:37 | |
OK, are you our auctioneer today? | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
-I will be, yes. -Well, I am looking forward to that, Christina. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
Pax, Helena, the moment of truth, the auction is here. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
-How do you feel? -Excited. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
-Excited. -Nervous. -Absolutely. -Have you been to an auction before? | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
-Yes, I have. -What about you, Pax? | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
Well, I used to help occasionally by holding up some of the lots, | 0:35:00 | 0:35:03 | |
that's the extent of my... | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Right. OK, chaps, your yoke cost £24. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:10 | |
It's coming up now. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
Lot 135 is the oak yoke. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:15 | |
I've got to start this at 35, | 0:35:15 | 0:35:17 | |
£40 with my commission bidder at £40 here. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
I'm looking for five now. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
At £40, are we going to stop there? | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
It's at £40. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:24 | |
If you are all done, then, selling to my bidder at £40. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:28 | |
Yes! | 0:35:28 | 0:35:29 | |
£40. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:33 | |
What a wonderful start! | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
That's plus £16. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:38 | |
Your second item is about to come up. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:41 | |
It's that beautiful, continental silver-mounted perfume bottle. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:47 | |
You paid 79, fingers crossed, | 0:35:47 | 0:35:49 | |
because it's coming up now. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:51 | |
Lot 137 is the | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
continental silver-mounted perfume bottle and stopper, | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
circa 1900. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:56 | |
Really pretty little example, this, | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
with the beautifully engraved body there, as well. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
I've got a clear book here, so bid me £30, somebody. | 0:36:01 | 0:36:04 | |
Bid me 30. Straight away online at £30, I have. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:08 | |
Bid me 5. At £30, I have. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:10 | |
35 with you, madam, thank you. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:12 | |
At £35 seated, where are you online? | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
Come on, we need more. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:15 | |
At 35, I have, then. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:16 | |
If we are all done, I will sell, make no mistake, to the room at 35. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:21 | |
35! | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
So that is minus 44, which, | 0:36:25 | 0:36:30 | |
after your first two items, | 0:36:30 | 0:36:32 | |
is taking us to minus 28. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
But never mind, we still have those wonderful spoons. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:41 | |
Fingers crossed for these. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:42 | |
Here they are. | 0:36:42 | 0:36:43 | |
Lot 139 now is the cased set of King's pattern handled | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
fruit salad servers and spoons. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
I've got a fairly mean bid, I think, here of £32. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
So that's where I will start. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:53 | |
Bid me 35, someone. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:54 | |
35 clears my bidder at £35 online. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
Bid me 40. At 35, I have. | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
Bid me 40 now. These are silver handles. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
Looking for 40. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:03 | |
At £35. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:04 | |
If you are all done, then, I will sell, | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
make no mistake, online, at £35. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
35. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:10 | |
Oh, what a shame. We started off so well. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
That is minus 13, | 0:37:13 | 0:37:16 | |
which takes us to a grand total of | 0:37:16 | 0:37:20 | |
minus 41. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:22 | |
But you still have the bonus buy, you have John's bonus buy. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:27 | |
Those lovely Art Nouveau buttons. He paid £70 for them. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:32 | |
Do you want to go with the bonus buy? | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
-We do. -Well, they are coming up now. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
Lot 145 is the set of six silver Art Nouveau buttons, | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
import mark for London, 1901. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Bid me £40 for them. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:44 | |
Bid me £40. 40 is bid. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
65, I have straightaway online, sir. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
70 in the room. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:50 | |
At £70 in the room, where is five? | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
It is with you then, sir, at £70. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
Oh, £70. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:58 | |
£70. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:01 | |
Neither loss nor profit. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:04 | |
-No. -So that means, | 0:38:04 | 0:38:06 | |
chaps, that you are at minus 41, | 0:38:06 | 0:38:10 | |
but don't be despondent because minus 41 could be... | 0:38:10 | 0:38:15 | |
..a winning number. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:18 | |
But you've got to promise me that you won't say a word to the Blues. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:22 | |
-No, we won't. -But well done, anyway. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:24 | |
Thank you, Anita. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
Charlotte, Ian, here we are. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
-How do you feel? -Can't wait. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:36 | |
-Are you excited? -Totally. -Completely. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
Overwhelmed. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |
But tell me, have you been to an auction before? | 0:38:40 | 0:38:42 | |
-Once or twice. -Once or twice. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:44 | |
Did you feel like this? | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
It didn't compare. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:47 | |
First item is the Victorian cast-iron fireplace. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:50 | |
You paid £55 for it. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
So, let's hope we can make a profit on that, because it's coming up now. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:58 | |
Lot 160, now, is a Victorian cast-iron fireplace. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:01 | |
Interest here with me at £40. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:03 | |
Bid me 5. At £40, I have here. | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
Looking for 5 now. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:07 | |
At £40. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:08 | |
If there is no further interest... | 0:39:08 | 0:39:10 | |
45, 50. 45. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:13 | |
-Go on, one more. -At £50, I have. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:14 | |
If we are all done, then, at £50... | 0:39:14 | 0:39:17 | |
£50. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
Oh, minus 5, not too bad. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
Your next item is coming up. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:25 | |
Charlotte Rhead, you only paid £28. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:27 | |
A great buy. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:29 | |
Let's hope we can make a profit on that. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:31 | |
Lot 162 is this rather lovely early | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
Charlotte Rhead for Bursley Ware bowl. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
Bid me £20 for it. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:37 | |
At £20. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:39 | |
20 is bid. 25 here, madam. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:40 | |
Go 30? 30. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
35. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:43 | |
Profit. Made our money back. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
Made our money back. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:46 | |
At £45 with the lady seated. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
At £45. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:49 | |
Looking for 50 now. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
At £45 I have, looking for 50, | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
but I'll sell to the room at 45. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
£45. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:58 | |
Well done, | 0:39:58 | 0:39:59 | |
that's absolutely brilliant. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
You have just made a profit of £17. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:05 | |
Which takes your total to | 0:40:05 | 0:40:08 | |
plus 12. | 0:40:08 | 0:40:09 | |
We're still in profit. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
Your next item is the Chinese silver and coconut bowl. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
You liked that one, you paid £125, it's coming up. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |
Lot 164 is this rather interesting | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
Chinese silver and coconut-mounted bowl. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
I've got to put you straight in at 70, 80. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
At £80, Internet bid here at £80. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:29 | |
Bid me five. At £80, I have. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
Online at £80, I'm looking for five now. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:34 | |
£80, fair warning, Internet, it's at £80. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:36 | |
I'm looking for five. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:38 | |
It's against you all, online at £80. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
Ah. £80. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:46 | |
Oh, dear. That is minus 45 | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
on that. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
That takes your overall total to minus 33. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:56 | |
Don't lose hope. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |
Are you going to take the bonus buy that Thomas bought for £90? | 0:40:57 | 0:41:01 | |
-I'd say not. -I'd say a big, fat no. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:06 | |
A big, fat no. I think we have a unanimous decision there. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:11 | |
The auctioneer's estimate was £20 to £30. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
-Generous. -Well, it might be a come-and-buy-me estimate. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:20 | |
He paid £90 for it, let's see how it does. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:23 | |
Lot 170 is the desk inkwell. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
It is on commission at £45. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
Here with me at 45. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
Looking for 50 now. | 0:41:28 | 0:41:30 | |
50 is bid. 5 here. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:32 | |
At 55 with me. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:33 | |
Looking for 60. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
£55, if you are all done... | 0:41:35 | 0:41:36 | |
60 is back. | 0:41:36 | 0:41:38 | |
Online. 60, online. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
Looking for five. But it's against you all online at £60. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
£60. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
-Made the right decision. -Good Lord! | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
£60. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:49 | |
It was a good item. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:50 | |
But it's still minus 30 on that. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
So you made the right decision, | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
and it leaves your total at minus 33. | 0:41:56 | 0:42:02 | |
But don't, don't be sad... | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
We're definitely not sad. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:06 | |
..don't be sad because that could be a winning score. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
It could be a winning score. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:11 | |
-It could. -Could be a winning score. | 0:42:11 | 0:42:13 | |
The only thing is, don't say a word to the Reds. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
Unfortunately, no teams have gone home with any money today. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:27 | |
-Aw! -No. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:28 | |
We have winners and we have runners-up. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:32 | |
Today's runners-up, I'm afraid, are the Reds. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
Aw. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:37 | |
You started off so well with that terrific profit. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:43 | |
Was it as exciting as flying? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
Depends who your pilot is. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
Ah, right. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:49 | |
In the end, it was minus 41. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:52 | |
That's not too bad in the grand scheme of things. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:56 | |
So our victors today, are our Blues with minus 33. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:02 | |
Result. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
Just as well you didn't take the bonus buy. | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
That was a good decision with hindsight. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:09 | |
-I liked it. -So did I. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:10 | |
Each to their own. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:13 | |
But you were all wonderful sports. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:16 | |
Tell me, did you all enjoy it? | 0:43:16 | 0:43:17 | |
-We did. -Did you have a great time? | 0:43:17 | 0:43:19 | |
-Yes. -So did we. | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
