0:00:02 > 0:00:03Today I'm in Surrey.
0:00:03 > 0:00:06I'm currently beneath the streets of Dorking town centre.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12These caves and tunnels date back to the 17th century,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16and these upper levels were once used as wine stores.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23But the use of this chamber,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26a whopping 60ft underground,
0:00:26 > 0:00:28is shrouded in mystery.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Some say smugglers hid their booty here.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33But what about our teams?
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Will they find any hidden treasure today?
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Let's find out.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Let's go bargain hunting!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Phew! That's better.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Back in my comfort zone, surrounded by antique shops.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17But will there be any bountiful bargains for our teams
0:01:17 > 0:01:19to smuggle away to auction?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Let's have a gander at what's coming up.
0:01:24 > 0:01:25The Reds get touchy-feely.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I like the fact that you're looking, you're looking,
0:01:27 > 0:01:30you're talking, you're feeling, you're touching.
0:01:30 > 0:01:31That's great.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34The Blues rely on their expert.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36So what does that mean, then?
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Well, I was hoping you'd tell me.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Well, do you want me to tell you, then?- Please do.- OK.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And at the auction there's highs...
0:01:43 > 0:01:44Yes!
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- £20 then. - ..and lows.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50£10.
0:01:50 > 0:01:51But that's all for later.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Today, we've got an all-female set of teams.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Hello, girls.
0:01:56 > 0:01:57Hello!
0:01:59 > 0:02:04For the Red team we have mum and daughter, Elizabeth and Charlotte.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08And for the Blues, we have mum and daughter, Fiona and Mary.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now, Reds first.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Elizabeth, tell me what you do.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Well, on my working days I work at
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Westminster Abbey Choir School as their bursar.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Wow, that's an interesting job.
0:02:20 > 0:02:21Yes, it's a lovely place to work.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23What do you do in your spare time?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25I love fixing things.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Oh, right. That's what a mum does, isn't it?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29We fix things.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32The most recent thing that I've taken up is fixing clocks.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33So do you take them all apart,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36all the mechanisms apart, and put them all together again?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yes, I take lots of photographs
0:02:38 > 0:02:41because there's a lot of wheels inside a clock,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And sometimes I'm looking at it,
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I'm not quite sure how to put it all back together again.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49But it is quite a challenge and it is quite fiddly,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51but I really enjoy it.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55So, Charlotte, you've just recently finished your studies.
0:02:55 > 0:02:56What were you studying?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I was studying biology at Kent University.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01You are now working.
0:03:01 > 0:03:05I am, I'm a publications assistant at a medical communications company.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Now it says here that you were a vegan for about five minutes.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Tell me about that.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14It was ten days, so it was quite a challenge.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17I'm quite into animal welfare,
0:03:17 > 0:03:19so I thought the best way to eat ethically
0:03:19 > 0:03:21is to not eat animal material at all.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Tell me what kicked you back in.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Well, I was doing very well,
0:03:25 > 0:03:30but then our CO brought in some bacon sandwiches for his birthday.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31- Oh, right.- And I couldn't really say no.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34The first temptation and she was away.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Now, mum, daughter, how are you going to work together today?
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Who's going to be the boss?
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- This one.- Oh, right!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Did you know you were going to be the boss?
0:03:45 > 0:03:47No, I'm very stringent with money and very careful,
0:03:47 > 0:03:49whereas Mum is an impulse buyer,
0:03:49 > 0:03:51which is good in some ways because she'll say yes...
0:03:51 > 0:03:53It's usually the other way round.
0:03:54 > 0:03:55- No, not with us.- Right.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58But let's have a talk to the Blues now.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01So, Fiona, tell me what you do for a living.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03A lot of the time I interfere in my husband's business.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- What sort of business is it?- We've got an insurance brokers firm.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Now, Fiona, it says here that you do a bit of theatrical moonlighting.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12- I do.- Tell me about that.- I do.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13I do some background extra work
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and I've been in things like Downton Abbey...
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Did you get all dressed up?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I love it, I love wearing all the period clothes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Now, Mary, you've just come back from travelling.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- Yes.- Tell me a bit about that.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I went to Fiji and Australia
0:04:28 > 0:04:30and then I did a ski season,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and then I had to get a real job for a while,
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and I've just quit that and I'm off again.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Oh, right. Any funny travelling stories?
0:04:39 > 0:04:42So I went on a scuba diving trip in the Whitsunday Islands,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45on one of the boats, and it took me to realise
0:04:45 > 0:04:47until I was in the wet suit with the mask
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and the gear on and everything like that, standing at the side of the boat
0:04:50 > 0:04:52that I'm actually quite scared of fish, so I didn't...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Oh, right. And you don't like water?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Yeah, I didn't really like the ocean so I just sat on the side.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57I got a great tan that day.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- Yeah.- But everyone else looked like they were having a great time.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03So how are you going to approach today's shopping?
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Well, we're very good at shopping together.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- We're good at shopping. - You like shopping?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08We like shopping, yeah. We have to just limit Mary
0:05:08 > 0:05:11to three things though, that's going to be the hard thing.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Mum's a fantastic haggler though, so relying on that big-time.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16OK, I'm sure you will be absolutely wonderful.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18But I better give you some money, gals.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- Oh.- Yeah?
0:05:20 > 0:05:22For the Reds, £300.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23I'm giving it to the mums.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- It's much safer.- It's much safer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29That's what they say. And £300 for you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Your experts await so off you go!
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Thank you.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37What we've got today is girl power.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42All our teams need now are their experts.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46On-call for the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51And turning up the heat for the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK, guys, what are we looking for today? You first, Charlotte.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Some high-quality items that people want in their homes.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Well, bargains.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01But also things that don't have any chips or bumps.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04I'm thinking something sparkly, maybe a few animal figurines,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06something along those lines.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08CLOCK CHIMES The countdown's begun.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Your time starts now.
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Great, let's go looking.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Are you ready?- So ready. - Let's do it.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17And the teams head straight out onto Dorking High Street
0:06:17 > 0:06:20ready to hit the antique shops.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- And we're off.- Good, good, good, I like the fast movement,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- that's very good.- What have we got? Real hurry.- Straight in.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28I like the peacock.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- I quite like the peacock. - He's quite sweet.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32It's, you know, it's quite nice.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- It is OK, yeah.- What does that really mean then, Mary?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- She doesn't like it.- It's £10, I kind of think it hasn't got enough,
0:06:38 > 0:06:41you know, if you get 100% increase, it's only £10, do you know what I mean?
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Oh, gosh. Well, obviously you are used to much greater things.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Quite obviously.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49What are you thinking, Charlotte?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I'm quite enjoying these microscopes.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- What do you think of them?- They're quite interesting.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I don't think they're really going to be used for practical work
0:06:57 > 0:06:59but they will... Great props.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02People do like them and they seem to be all there, you know,
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- it's quite nice.- What is the price on it, Charlotte?- £85.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Oh, maybe we need to move on. - Maybe.- Yes.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10We've just got here, we've got time.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I like the fact that you're looking, you're looking, you're talking,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15you're feeling, you're touching. That's great.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17So far, so good.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Both teams getting stuck in.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20OK, what are we looking at there, Mary?
0:07:20 > 0:07:25So this is a Tang style pottery terracotta figure.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- OK.- "Impressed CH."
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- Impressed CH.- What, does that mean you're impressed?
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Whoa.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- So what does that mean, then? - Well, I was hoping you'd tell me.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39Well, the Tang Dynasty goes way back, 1,000 years,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42and the original Tang Dynasty figures, just like that,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46were made from terracotta and they were made for burials.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50That is a copy, so...
0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Let's have a look at the markings. Just CB.- CB, I think.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57OK, SO I don't recognise that but this is a one-off handmade figurine
0:07:57 > 0:07:59of modern manufacture.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- OK.- But it makes it quite interesting, I think.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Fiona, are you interested?
0:08:06 > 0:08:07- Not wildly excited.- OK.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10I have to admit. I don't like copies of things.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14OK, bizarrely, that is probably rarer
0:08:14 > 0:08:17than a Tang Dynasty clay pottery figure
0:08:17 > 0:08:20of an attendant because they are in their tens of thousands.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23But only the real McCoy will do for Fiona.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27While Elizabeth seems to be sidetracked by her love of clocks.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28This is a nice...
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Now I know you like clocks, don't you, Elizabeth?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I know you like clocks. Is it a runner?
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Well, it's... I'm not sure if it's ticking.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40- It's ticking!- It's ticking.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Yes. Yes, I wonder if there is a price on it.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46What do you think, Charlotte? Do you like clocks also?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47They all look the same to me.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49They all... And they all do the same job.
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Yes. It's working well, it says, and it's got Westminster chimes.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56You can tell because it is got the three holes,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58so they can be quite noisy clocks. It's £125.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- It's a lovely...- Example. - It's a lovely specimen.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I wouldn't mind one of my clocks looking like that
0:09:03 > 0:09:07after I'd finished working on it but it is a bit pricey, isn't it?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It does seem a bit pricey, to be honest.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It looks like it's in great stead,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14but these 1920s/1930s clock are just not overly the most in vogue
0:09:14 > 0:09:17to be putting on people's mantelpieces these days.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- No.- But, I mean, a lovely example.
0:09:19 > 0:09:20- Shall we keep looking? - Yes, I think so.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Still no luck for the Reds.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Meanwhile, the Blues have unearthed a cute little creature.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Oh, piggy.- Oh, piggy.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32He's quite nice. Is he in good condition?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I can't see any chips.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38- He's a good colour, he's a Blue Team member, isn't he?- Yeah.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39He could be the fourth team member.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- He could be our mascot.- Yeah.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43£28.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Fiona, do we like the pig?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- I do like the pig. - You do like the pig.
0:09:46 > 0:09:47- I do like the pig.- OK, Mary,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50does that mean that she really likes the pig or is it some sort of code
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- for she doesn't?- I think it's, "The pig's OK but we will keep looking."
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- Is that right?- We'll put a bookmark and come back.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59OK, this might be a very long shop.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It could be at this rate, David.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0520 minutes gone now and both teams still need to make a first purchase.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Kitchenalia in this corner.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Kitchenalia is always desirable,
0:10:10 > 0:10:13there's a lot of collectors out there who collect Kitchenalia.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15And of course very practical,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18people like it to display in the kitchen and they can use it as well,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20so if we can find something in here
0:10:20 > 0:10:22that is really nice than we have always got
0:10:22 > 0:10:24a chance of making a profit at auction with it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- That coffee grinder is... - That's a meat mincer, that one.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Does that seem something that would be interesting to people?
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Not really. It wants to be in its box, really.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- Yes.- And you have got loads of the different inserts that go in that,
0:10:35 > 0:10:36- gives you the size... - Loads of discs.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- That's right. And they don't seem to be with it.- OK.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43While the Reds grind to a halt, have the Blues got time to pamper?
0:10:43 > 0:10:48So this is a pretty vintage pink press glass, it's a vanity set.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51It's quite sweet. 30, we could get it for less. But I think it's also,
0:10:51 > 0:10:53it can be, not modernised,
0:10:53 > 0:10:58but I think people now would buy it to use every day,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00as in if they had a pretty dressing table.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I think they would. Actually it would be rather nice.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Are you excited, Fiona?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- Erm...- No.- Am I excited?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08No, no, no, you're not excited.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10I'm telling you you're not excited.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12Do you know what? I suppose it's the candle holders,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15if they were little pots that would be more practical, I think.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17OK. Well maybe we could get a time machine,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20go back and get them to make you something different to candelabras.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21They can press glass, come on, they can do it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Well, you can't go back in time in this shop.
0:11:24 > 0:11:2725 minutes gone and still no purchases for either team!
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Danny, what about this up here?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Price first. £14.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- 14.- Yes, for a salad bowl.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Midwinter, I remember that name from my childhood.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41It was everyday sort of crockery
0:11:41 > 0:11:45in the '60s, but this looks older than that.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49It has got, sort of, a bit of Art Deco sort of styling to it.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- '30s, '40s type period.- Yes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Midwinter Pottery, founded by William Midwinter in Stoke-on-Trent
0:11:55 > 0:12:00in 1910, became one of England's largest potteries by the late 1930s.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's not chipped or damaged.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04No, it does seem like it's in good stead.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08It's quite nice, the colours are quite vibrant on it as well.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Yeah.- But I have got a feeling that at auction,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14with a bit of wind behind us,
0:12:14 > 0:12:17it should be worth between £15 to probably £25.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20It's a nice name, it's got good lines.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23It's in good, it's got lovely transfers on it.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Yes. And it's useful.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26- And it is useful.- OK.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28- So shall we ask?- Yes.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30The owner would go down to £12.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34That's not bad, I think it's a fair price initially.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35Every little helps.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Yes. How about ten?
0:12:37 > 0:12:38Ooh, dear.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Yes, ten.- Oh, thank very much.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44OK. Shake the lady's hand.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47At last the Reds have their first item.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49One buy we've bought.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Two to go.- Two to go.
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- And probably less than 30 minutes so let's keep cracking on.- OK.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59While the Reds and Blues still have a lot of shopping to do,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I'm off to find out about life in the fast lane.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Today I've come to Dorking Museum
0:13:11 > 0:13:15to hear about this fascinating little collection
0:13:15 > 0:13:16of scale model cars,
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and I've been joined by Rob Rennie.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22Rob, where did you get this collection?
0:13:22 > 0:13:24They were brought together, we think,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26by an enthusiast over a number of years,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29possibly even a member of the Rob Walker Racing Team and they
0:13:29 > 0:13:35portray the cars that the team used throughout 1953 to 1971.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Who was Rob Walker?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Well, Rob Walker was a wealthy individual,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42he was the heir to the Johnnie Walker whiskey empire
0:13:42 > 0:13:43so he had access...
0:13:43 > 0:13:44- Was he a Scot?- He was indeed.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Is that where the blue and white comes from?
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Well, of course, yes, the Scottish national racing colours.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51- Appropriate.- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:56But, yes, he was a Scot and he did have access to money and he indulged
0:13:56 > 0:13:59himself in his passion for motor racing.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00Did he live in Dorking?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04He had two or three garages and a racing team based here.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07What were his most notable achievements?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11The team won no less than nine World Championship Grand Prixs
0:14:11 > 0:14:13between '58 and '68.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16He created a unique precedent,
0:14:16 > 0:14:20no other private entrant ever won Grand Prixs against works teams.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23Now, could these be bought off the shelf?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26They're not like Dinky Toys,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28they wouldn't have been in little boxes
0:14:28 > 0:14:31that people would just go in to the toy shop and buy.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Most of them have been made by specialist little companies.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Ah. Now, these wee cars,
0:14:35 > 0:14:37they're all lovely,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39but is there something special about this one here?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Now this is a special car.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44This is a Cooper-Climax,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48and it's a replica of the car that Stirling Moss
0:14:48 > 0:14:52used to win the 1958 Argentine Grand Prix.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Was this Rob Walker's first winner?
0:14:54 > 0:14:58It was. And actually it was a game-changer
0:14:58 > 0:15:01in terms of rear engine cars coming to the forefront
0:15:01 > 0:15:03and winning Grand Prixs.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07This was, in the post-war period, this was the first to do it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09And what about this one here?
0:15:09 > 0:15:11What's the story behind this one?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Well, this is a Lotus Climax.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17This car won the Monaco Grand Prix in 1961.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Rob, I see that it has no side panels.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Yes. Well, just before the start,
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Stirling Moss went to his team
0:15:24 > 0:15:27and said, "I'm wondering if we can take the side panels off,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29because it's going to get very hot during the race.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32They went to the organisers and they said, "Yes,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36"providing you put another number onto the rear of the car so that
0:15:36 > 0:15:40"the timekeepers can see him passing by and record him accurately."
0:15:40 > 0:15:45All of these look fairly similar but this one looks completely different.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Tell me about this one. This is special.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Is it?- This is a Ferrari
0:15:50 > 0:15:53250 SWB Berlinetta.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And it's a model of the car that Stirling Moss used to
0:15:56 > 0:16:00win the 1960 Tourist Trophy race at Goodwood.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Ordinarily the teams would have communicated with their drivers
0:16:04 > 0:16:08via pit boards held out as the cars went by the start and finish line.
0:16:09 > 0:16:10But on this occasion,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13because it was a road-going car it was fitted with a radio.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16And during the course of the race,
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Stirling Moss switched on the radio
0:16:17 > 0:16:19because the BBC were covering the event.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So he could hear what was going on.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25Wow, that was a fantastic story.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Thank you for sharing it with us.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Meanwhile, it's time for us to check back in with our teams.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Back on Dorking High Street,
0:16:39 > 0:16:43the Reds have one item while the Blues have no purchases yet.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46The teams are running out of time.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Why don't we, just to keep things safe, go bag to the pig?
0:16:49 > 0:16:51- Yeah.- So we've got one purchase.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Are you in agreement we're going to go and buy the pig?
0:16:53 > 0:16:55I like the pig, I like the pig, I have to say.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58OK, before she changes her mind. Go. Come on.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I don't want to worry you at all, Elizabeth and Charlotte,
0:17:02 > 0:17:05but we've only got one item and we've got about 25 minutes left.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08- OK.- So we're going to have to really crack on.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Get in here, get two items,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13and let's see if we can make a great profit at auction with them.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16While the Reds head to the same antique centre as the Blues,
0:17:16 > 0:17:18David and the team are after a price
0:17:18 > 0:17:21on their little piggy with Charles the manager.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23I've got Bargain Hunt with me,
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and they are looking at your pig. £28.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28You know the one?
0:17:28 > 0:17:31They have made an offer of 15.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33She can do 18.
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- 18, yeah.- Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- I think we're happy with that.- Good. Thank goodness for that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Success! That's the Blues' first item.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Purchase number one and you have had...
0:17:45 > 0:17:47..38 minutes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Ooh!- So at this rate,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52we're going to be very lucky to buy purchase number two.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55That's right, David, it's time to get a move on.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59While the Reds are also up against it with just the one item bought.
0:17:59 > 0:18:00Now, we're going to have to sort of
0:18:00 > 0:18:02make this a bit snappy now, Charlotte,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05because we're running out of time. That I am aware of.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07As Danny chivvies on the Reds,
0:18:07 > 0:18:09is David having any more luck with the Blues?
0:18:09 > 0:18:13So it's just a handmade horseshoe planter.
0:18:13 > 0:18:14- OK.- Which I think is quite sweet.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's £75 though so...
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- Fiona?- I think it's quite a lot for a load of old horseshoes.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Well, yeah, there are... But it is now a piece of art, isn't it?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24It's nicely done. Yeah.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27I quite like that. It's very cleverly done.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- I think it's quite sweet.- What actually is it?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32It's a planter so you put a nice pot in there, probably.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Sitting outside would look pretty good, wouldn't it?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- A log basket.- A log basket would be better.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40And you can't value it because, you know, if Henry Moore made it,
0:18:40 > 0:18:43it's going to be worth several millions of pounds
0:18:43 > 0:18:44but we don't know.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- I bet he didn't.- No, no, he probably didn't.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49So it's got nothing to do with what it is made from,
0:18:49 > 0:18:51it's all about the intrinsic-ness of it.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54It's a piece of art, really, it's quite cleverly done.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I like it. I'd prefer to be a lot cheaper than that,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58£75 is just the only thing...
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- How much time as we got?- Well, not much. We've got about 15 minutes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03So I'm going to leave you two to chat and look around.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I'm going to go downstairs and get a price,
0:19:05 > 0:19:06I'm going to give you the price,
0:19:06 > 0:19:07then we're going to see if we can buy it.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09- All right.- Does that make sense?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- Yes, indeed.- Thank goodness. - Right. Good plan. Yeah.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13While David goes to find the best price,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16the Reds are underwhelmed.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Mmm. OK. Children's things.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21- Bed pans.- Including what looks like
0:19:21 > 0:19:23children's commode and a children's bed pan.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I'm not feeling it, Danny.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Come on.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Back with the Blues, David has some news.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33We can't get hold of the dealer.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35The chaps downstairs have put two phone calls in
0:19:35 > 0:19:37and we're waiting for a call back,
0:19:37 > 0:19:40so at the moment the best they can do is 60.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Is it worth holding out the ten minutes to see if they call back?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44But then at the end of ten minutes,
0:19:44 > 0:19:46you've bought one object and then that's it.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- No, we'll have it at £60 if we have to.- OK. OK, is that a plan?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- We'll have it at £60.- We need something.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53We need it less, really.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56OK, with one minute left, we're going to buy that at £60.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59That's number two done but we need number three now.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01So there's a plan in place for the Blues.
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Meanwhile, with 13 minutes to go, Danny has lost track of the Reds.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Where are you?- Oh, we're here, Danny. We've just found this.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10- It's a Victorian tea caddy.- Oh, I'm glad you've found
0:20:10 > 0:20:12something because I know we're running out of time.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Charlotte spotted this.- I thought it would be quite a nice thing,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I'd love to give this to a friend or a sister.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Do you think it's interesting? - Very interesting.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I mean, tea caddies, they're quite popular.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Lovely wood, great colour, you know,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I like the blend of the inside colour of the wood,
0:20:27 > 0:20:29and the outside sort of darker colour,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31with nice little bun feet on it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Yeah.- It's in nice condition.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Nice sort of... Nice shape on it.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Which is a typical, I suppose, Victorian tea caddy shape, really.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Shame it is missing the glass bowl.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Great commodity, you know, tea was, back in Victorian times.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47I mean, it was as good as money.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Anyway, it says £50.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50So shall we see?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51- What do you think?- At auction,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- it will probably make between probably 30 to £50.- Right.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So if we can trim that down a little bit, then we're in with a chance.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- That sounds like a good idea. Charlotte, you've spotted it.- Yeah.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Would you like to go and see what you can...- Do your best, Charlotte.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Thank you.- While Charlotte goes to find Charles,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11the Blues have tuned into a potential item.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13Ooh, Mary, Mary, look.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- A radio. Look. - Do you like radios?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- I do, actually, yes.- OK.
0:21:18 > 0:21:19Pick it up, let's have a look at it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- Is this Bakelite?- You've got a little bit of...
0:21:23 > 0:21:26No, I would say that's more plastic than Bakelite.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28- But it is...- Veneered.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32This is something that's come over from France or Belgium.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36- So date-wise, what are we thinking, 1950?- Yeah.- Something like that.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- Yeah, yeah. - It's got a great look to it.
0:21:38 > 0:21:39- It's funky, yeah.- It is funky.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Shall we take it downstairs and get a price?
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- Shall we have a look?- OK, who's carrying it?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- You're carrying it.- I'll do the heavy lifting.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- Go on, then.- If you drop it, that's all right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Meanwhile, the Reds catch up with Charles and talk money.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54So, what's the best price that you can do for us on this?
0:21:54 > 0:21:55It says £50.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58OK. I've contacted the dealer,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01and bearing in mind it's missing its glass bowl,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03the dealer would be prepared to accept £30.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06That's a really good price for a Victorian item, then.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Yes, I think we should be happy with £30.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12I think so, I think there's room now to make a profit at auction with it.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15- We'll go the £30.- Great. Thank you very much.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18The Reds have their second item with ten minutes left on the clock.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Let's go.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Hot on the Reds' heels, the Blues are keeping Charles on his toes.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Here we go.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28We have this lovely radio.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30- Wow.- We cannot find a price ticket on it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33You happened to have hit on the one item in the centre
0:22:33 > 0:22:35that nobody knows who it belongs to.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38We don't know which dealer of the 55 it is,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41and we haven't any price idea.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43How long haven't you had an idea who owns it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Some weeks, maybe months.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Aha. Are you open to an offer, then?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- I will sell it.- OK.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Just wait a minute. This is an usual situation here.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54So what's it going to make in auction?
0:22:54 > 0:22:5620, £30 maybe.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Yeah. So you need to make an offer based on that,
0:22:59 > 0:23:01you want to make a profit. What's the offer going to be?
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- £10.- £10, yeah.
0:23:03 > 0:23:06- Make the offer.- Could you take £10, maybe?
0:23:06 > 0:23:09I can't take ten but I will take 15.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- 15.- Yep.- This is brilliant dealing, isn't it?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Of course he's going to take that. Brilliant. Thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Excellent. Good luck with it.- Thank you very much.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18- Thank you.- OK, that's number two.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20And what are we going to do for number three?
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- I like the log basket.- I like the log basket, yes.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25- OK.- I think we'll do that because it's quirky and...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Yeah.- OK. Just wait, this might be our man.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- Saved by the bell.- Talbot House, good morning.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Darren, hi. Fortuitous you should get back.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39You have a log basket, ticket price at 75.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I have Bargain Hunt with me and the lovely Blue team.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46They've made a cheeky offer of £40.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Would you consider taking that, please?
0:23:49 > 0:23:52You can't take 40, but you would do 45.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- Thank you, Darren.- Well, he's sold it. Thank you very much.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- Thank you, Darren.- Thank you, Darren.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Thank you. Bye now.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59Marvellous. Fantastic.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- OK.- Great.- With moments to spare.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03- Thank you so much.- Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06You two have turned into superstars.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Where did that come from?
0:24:08 > 0:24:09- You doubted us?- High-five!
0:24:09 > 0:24:12The Blues lucked out there,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15getting their final item in the last five minutes.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Now the Reds are really up against it.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20What do you think about these vases?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Pair of Doulton vases, are they?
0:24:22 > 0:24:26Mm-hm. Pair of Doulton vases, early 20th century.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29They're priced at £58.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Are they big enough for a pair?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32The bigger the better, really.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I suppose the bigger they are, the more money they are going to be.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38And they're quite nice, I mean, the colours, you know, they're not big,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40loud, vibrant colours.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Oh, I see.- But, I mean, they're a well-known name,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45been going since the turn of the 20th century.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48What do you think they would go for at auction, then?
0:24:48 > 0:24:51At auction... I mean, I'd like to think that
0:24:51 > 0:24:55they could make 50 to £70, really, as a pair.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57So if we got a bit shaved off...
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- If we got...- We could be there, could we?- We could well be there.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03OK. So shall I go and see if I can get a better price?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05- See if you can get a better price. - OK.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Hi, Helen, it's Charles.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Ticket price is 58.
0:25:10 > 0:25:11What's your very best, please?
0:25:11 > 0:25:1348. Thanks, Helen, I'll put that to them.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16- 48.- I think there's a chance of a profit there.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20They've got a nice pair, it's a good make, Royal Doulton.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22There's no damage.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24- Yep.- And I like the colours.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26- And you like the colours.- I do like the colours.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- Shake the man's hand, I think. - OK, jolly good. Well, good luck with it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Thank you very much.- Thanks again. - Thanks very much.- OK.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34That's it, teams. Time's up.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43First up was the Midwinter salad bowl at the healthy price of £10.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49They bagged this Regency tea caddy, bought for £30.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53And finally this pair of Doulton Lambeth vases
0:25:53 > 0:25:55caught their eye, £48 paid.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Well, girls, did you have a good time?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59- We did.- Yes, we did.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Yeah. Now, tell me, what's your favourite item?
0:26:02 > 0:26:03My favourite item is the tea caddy.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05- Oh, right.- I thought that was
0:26:05 > 0:26:07something I would like myself, really.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Oh, right.- So it's my favourite item and I think
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- it would sell well too. - What about mum here?
0:26:11 > 0:26:14My favourite item is the third thing that we chose which were
0:26:14 > 0:26:18the Royal Doulton vases, a pair of vases, the same.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23But the best profit I think would be on the first item, the salad bowl.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Right. Now you only spent £88.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Yes.- Can you give me £212, please?
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- We can.- Danny, that is an enormous amount of dosh.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- It is.- Do you know what you're going to buy?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41I think I'm going to try and spend the lot.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Spend the lot, be brave! - That's right.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49While Danny goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55First up, they fell in love with this
0:26:55 > 0:26:5820th century ceramic pig at £18.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03This German valve radio was music to their ears at £15.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08And finally they got lucky with this horseshoe bowl, £45 paid.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Fiona, Mary, you did an awful lot of window shopping
0:27:13 > 0:27:15and I was a wee bit worried that
0:27:15 > 0:27:18you weren't going to make it, but you did.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20- We did.- What was your favourite item?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22The radio for me, definitely the radio.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Oh. Is that the thing that's going to make you most profit?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- I think so. - Do you agree with your mum?
0:27:27 > 0:27:28What's your favourite item?
0:27:28 > 0:27:31My favourite item has got to be the little piggy that we got.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34But I've got to agree with Mum on the most profit on the radio.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37All right, so there's a wee bit of agreement on that.
0:27:37 > 0:27:42- Yes.- That's great. Well, girls, you spent a tiny, tiny, wee £78.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45- I know.- Well, you have to give me £222.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- There we go.- OK.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49222, that's a lot of money, David.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- It is, Anita. It's big pocket money, that.- Big pocket money.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Are you going to spend big?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58I don't know, but I'm certainly going to spend quickly,
0:27:58 > 0:28:00unlike these two.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Well, as David goes off to buy his bonus buy,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05we're going to head off to the auction.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15I've travelled to West Sussex, to Bellmans Auctioneers
0:28:15 > 0:28:18to meet auctioneer Jonathan Pratt.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19It's lovely to be here, Jonathan.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It's lovely to see you again, Anita.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Now, our Reds, Elizabeth and Charlotte,
0:28:23 > 0:28:28and their first item was this Midwinter salad bowl.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I rather like it, you know, it's a bit of the deco style about it
0:28:31 > 0:28:33and it has a bit of jolly colour.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35So kind of, you know, a straightforward useful thing
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- in nice condition. - Estimate, please.
0:28:37 > 0:28:3930 to £50.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41That's terrific. They only paid £10.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Oh, good. - I think that was a bargain.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- Yes, yes, I agree. - Wonderful.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Their second item, this Regency tea caddy.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Very typically Regency in style,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54but what's nice about it is, you know, it is in rosewood,
0:28:54 > 0:28:58and it's very clean and sharp edges still and in a nice condition.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Now, estimate? - 50 to 80.- Well, they only paid £30.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04- Well, OK.- So again good price.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Now, their third item, the pair of Doulton vases,
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Elizabeth loved these.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Yeah. 20 years ago they would made quite a lot more money
0:29:12 > 0:29:15than they do now and there's some very good names attached to,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19you know, decorators attached to the factory, but I think what I like about them is
0:29:19 > 0:29:21they're nice and small, because they've got
0:29:21 > 0:29:22this little dainty flowers on them,
0:29:22 > 0:29:25these little pink flower heads and they're a pink pattern.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27I've not seen that pattern before and I rather like it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- What's your estimate? - I'd say 30 to 50.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35They paid 48, which is nearer the top estimate, but there is a chance.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- Yes, there is a chance, yes.- All in all, not too bad for the Reds.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41They may not need their bonus buy,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44but we're going to go and have a look at it, anyway.
0:29:44 > 0:29:48Well, girls, you were a wee bit canny, spent £88.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53You gave Danny a magnificent 212.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Danny, did you spend it all?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59I did say I was going to spend big.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Oh!- Ah!
0:30:01 > 0:30:02OK. Is that a pin cushion?
0:30:02 > 0:30:07It is a little pin cushion, in the style of the Victorian boot.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09It's silver plate.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12Round about 1940s, round about 1950s.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16As we know, everybody's a little sewing bee these days,
0:30:16 > 0:30:17so I've got a feeling it's going to
0:30:17 > 0:30:19kick some profit into boot, this one.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21How much did you spend on it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Yes, how much?- Well, I did say I was going to spend big.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Was it £200?
0:30:25 > 0:30:26- A tenner.- A tenner!
0:30:28 > 0:30:29OK. So how much do you think?
0:30:29 > 0:30:31There's definitely room for a profit.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I'm really sorry, Danny, it's definitely not my taste.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It looks kind of strange to me.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39But I trust your judgement.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42So I guess we'll see, depending on how desperate we are.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50So we have divided opinion here between mum and daughter.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53But you don't need to make up your mind at this moment.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56Wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58But in the meantime,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Danny's pin cushion.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Bonus buy for the Reds.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Danny brought this 20th century silver-plated pin cushion
0:31:08 > 0:31:11in the form of a Victorian brogue.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15It's quite fun, in a sense of I like the style about it.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17And it's very functional and I kind of see the appeal for it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19It's not something I like, particularly.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21But then people who sew, you know,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- there'll need somewhere to put their pins.- Estimate on that?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26- £10-£20.- Danny paid £10.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28So, it may have been a good buy.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Now over to the Blues.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Fiona and Mary.
0:31:31 > 0:31:36Their first item was this model of a sitting pig
0:31:36 > 0:31:39with a quizzical expression. Yeah.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42It's not an academic sort of collector's piece.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46It's not by anyone in particular and it's not got a great deal of age,
0:31:46 > 0:31:47but actually, you know,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49what you've got is a very decorative model of a pig.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51It's in nice condition, it's a good size
0:31:51 > 0:31:53and everyone loves a pig, don't they?
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Now, what's your estimate on this?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57I'd like to think we'd get £20-£30 for it.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Well, they paid 18, so they may make a profit.
0:32:00 > 0:32:06- Sure.- Their second item was this Nordmende radio - it's very vintage.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08It's very retro.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11You're quite right, this sort of is a popular market now,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14and you're seeing a lot of styling of modern radios
0:32:14 > 0:32:17bringing in this sort of taste.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20I suppose though it's the wood effect.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22You know, that may not go in its favour,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25and it's also German, you know, with German stations on there.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27But you know, we're an international sales room,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29we can reach far and wide these days,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31but that will have a limit on the value.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33So, estimate on that?
0:32:33 > 0:32:34Optimistically, 20-40.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Well, they paid only 15, Jonathan.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39- That's all right, isn't it?- So could be a profit on that one.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43Their third item, what do you think?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's a funny thing, isn't it? And what we sell at auction these days,
0:32:45 > 0:32:48it doesn't have to be academic and antique to make the value because
0:32:48 > 0:32:50it's all about style very often, it's about style.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52And you've got to try and think outside the box
0:32:52 > 0:32:55and think of the function. So, you're right,
0:32:55 > 0:32:57maybe it did happen to have a liner of sorts or someone
0:32:57 > 0:33:00can put something in it. They can fill it with moss,
0:33:00 > 0:33:02and they can have a planter in there, or something.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03Estimate on that, Jonathan?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06I'd say between sort of £10-£20.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08Yeah. Well, they have paid £45,
0:33:08 > 0:33:11which is quite a lot of money, I think.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15- I think it's a lot of money. - For horse shoes.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17But I could be wrong. So a wee bit of worry on that one.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19They may need their bonus buy,
0:33:19 > 0:33:21so we're going to go and have a look at it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Fiona, Mary, you spent £78.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28I know. Not enough, was it?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Well, we'll find out.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35You left David £222, which was a lot of money, David.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38It's a lot of money. The question is, did I spend it all?
0:33:38 > 0:33:40- Did you?- We have to work this one out.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Very elegant, I think.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Very sophisticated. Just like you two.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Oh, stop!- I don't know. Works every time.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- Is it a perfume bottle? - It is a perfume bottle.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Very well done.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52- Is it silver?- It is silver.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56The top is hallmarked, London 1922.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58- How much was it?- £25.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Oh, wow! Excellent!
0:34:00 > 0:34:01And it took me two minutes to buy it.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03- That's how you do it.- Oh!
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Right! So how much do you think it's going to make today?
0:34:06 > 0:34:08Well, I'm hoping it's going to make more than that,
0:34:08 > 0:34:11but I'm guessing he might estimate it at 20-40.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Oh! I would have thought because of the silver...
0:34:14 > 0:34:15I know, it's too cheap.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Girls, you don't need to make up your mind just now,
0:34:18 > 0:34:20which I am sure you're very happy about.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22You wait until your first three items have been sold,
0:34:22 > 0:34:26but in the meantime, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31Now David's bonus buy was this rather pretty scent bottle.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33What do you think of that, Jonathan?
0:34:33 > 0:34:34It's nice quality, isn't it?
0:34:34 > 0:34:36I mean, you can see it's proper cut glass.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38It's not moulded glass and finished.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41You know, there's a lot of work and it's all very sharp edges.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44It's rather nice. The mount's in good condition. Hallmarked 1922.
0:34:44 > 0:34:45Stopper's in nice condition.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47And it's just got a little bit of style about it.
0:34:47 > 0:34:48There's no chips on the foot.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51You know, actually, for what it is, it's OK.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52What's your estimate on that?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- £30-£50.- Well, David only paid £25.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56I think that was a good buy.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59- I think that was a good buy.- Yes. Are you our auctioneer today?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- I am indeed!- Terrific!
0:35:02 > 0:35:03£20 I have. Who's got 5?
0:35:03 > 0:35:0525, 30 with me.
0:35:05 > 0:35:0635, 40 with me.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Selling £40.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Well, Elizabeth, Charlotte. Here we are. Auction day.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13The moment of truth. How do you feel?
0:35:13 > 0:35:15Excited, nervous.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17- All of the above!- All of the above!
0:35:17 > 0:35:19All of the above! Your first item
0:35:19 > 0:35:22was that wonderful Midwinter salad bowl.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27Now you only paid £10 for that, for nothing!
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Hopefully we can make a good profit on that,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32because it's coming up right now.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Lot 269. A Midwinter's Burslem salad bowl of square form.
