0:00:04 > 0:00:06Welcome to Edinburgh.
0:00:06 > 0:00:11Nothing gets a party started like a traditional ceilidh band.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14And we will be continuing the party just up the road
0:00:14 > 0:00:17from Edinburgh Castle at a huge antique fair.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20While I could stand and listen to them all day,
0:00:20 > 0:00:22it's time for me to go join the Reds and the Blues.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23Stop, boys.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27ALL: Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The Royal Highland Centre is brimming with antiques
0:00:57 > 0:01:00and collectibles, and with one hour on the clock,
0:01:00 > 0:01:04all our teams have to do is spend £300 on three items which,
0:01:04 > 0:01:07fingers crossed, will make a profit at auction.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Let's have a wee look at what's coming up.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14One of the Reds is definitely in charge.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16- What do you reckon, Tom?- Please!
0:01:16 > 0:01:18We are having it!
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Right, fine.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24The Blues make a deal with a furry friend.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- Is that an offer?- That's an offer. - Will you shake on that, then, Jacko?
0:01:29 > 0:01:31You're the man, Jacko.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35By the auction,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38the Reds are brimming with confidence.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40We are amazing at this.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42But can the same be said for the Blues?
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But that's all for later.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51For the Reds, we have Judy and Tom, who are partners,
0:01:51 > 0:01:55and for the Blues we have Jim and Adrienne, who are married.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Hello, everyone. ALL: Hello.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01Now, Tom, how did you two meet?
0:02:01 > 0:02:03We actually met on a dating app.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Oh, right. Yes, I like it. I like it.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10- I don't!- Judy is a bit embarrassed, but on our first date,
0:02:10 > 0:02:12I nearly got hit by a bus.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- How did that happen?- Well, Judy was running late, obviously,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17so she phoned me up and I was on the other side of the road and I kind of
0:02:17 > 0:02:19walked out without looking.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21He was so astounded by my beauty!
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Is that true?- More or less.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Now what do you do for a living?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm a product manager at a technology company,
0:02:28 > 0:02:32so we use lasers to do gas analysis and leak detection.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34That sounds very complicated.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36Does that mean you are a scientist?
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Yes. I did physics at university.
0:02:38 > 0:02:39It sounds so boring.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41Oh!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43You think his job's boring?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44What kind of job do you do?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47An auditor.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- That's the boring one. - Are you guys competitive?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Yeah. We're both so competitive.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55We both play a lot of sports. So I play tennis, Tom plays football.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Every time we play tennis I always beat Tom.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00What do you know about antiques and collectibles?
0:03:00 > 0:03:04We've just moved into a new house, so we're busy furnishing it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07We went to second-hand shops and fairs and bought all old stuff
0:03:07 > 0:03:11because I thought it was much more interesting and well made.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I can guess who is going to be in charge today, and it's not you, Tom,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17- is it?- I'll be reining her in.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19You're the calming influence?
0:03:19 > 0:03:21- Yes.- What are your tactics going to be?
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Spend big, win big.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26That was very definite, wasn't it?
0:03:26 > 0:03:28I don't really need a team-mate.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30It was just for numbers.
0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'll just wait outside, then.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38So that's it for the Red team. Let's meet today's Blues,
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Jim and Adrienne.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Jim, how did you meet Adrienne?
0:03:42 > 0:03:46How did we meet? I worked as a sales manager at a company when I was 26
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and Adrienne was the receptionist.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51And I used to clomp along the corridor behind her and I think
0:03:51 > 0:03:53she noticed me as I was passing by.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Maybe you were clomping deliberately.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59- I think so.- OK, maybe.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01And that was it.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Do you still work together?
0:04:03 > 0:04:04Now, we're in retirement.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05Tell me about your retirement.
0:04:05 > 0:04:10It's wonderful. I retired at the end of December last year.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12And we've just had a great time.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16We've got lots of hobbies. We like hill walking, I'm trying some golf,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19we like to play badminton, we go to yoga together.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21A pretty active retirement.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- Yes, definitely.- Can't sit on our backside for two minutes.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26You've got to get out there and do stuff.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Whatever we do, it's competitive, I'm afraid.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Are you competitive against one another?
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- Oh, yes.- She might be my wife but she's still fair game.
0:04:35 > 0:04:41- OK.- We played badminton yesterday and it was 2-2 in the last game,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43- and I won.- How did you feel about that?
0:04:43 > 0:04:45A bit gutted.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48You're working as a team today.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50You better remember that!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52So what are your tactics going to be?
0:04:52 > 0:04:57I'm thinking we'll look around first maybe for half an hour and then
0:04:57 > 0:05:02if we see things, that's fine, then we can go back and buy them afterwards.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Do you agree with that? - Not in the slightest, Anita.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- No.- I think just get in there and get it done.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09There will be a problem there, then.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Are you going to spend big?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Absolutely.- Not too big.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I want to be able to give our expert a little bit of money to get something.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20Really, you have disagreed on every blooming thing.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21In a competitive way.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I know it's going to be fun.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Well, you won't do any shopping without money so I better hand over
0:05:29 > 0:05:34£300 for the Reds and £300 for the Blues.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- Thank you.- We've got two feisty teams today.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I wonder which way it will go.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47All the teams need now are their experts.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Scooting around with the Reds, it's John Cameron.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And keeping a close eye on the Blues, it's Paul Laidlaw.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01What are we going to be buying today?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'd like something big and shiny.
0:06:03 > 0:06:08I think I'd quite like some old jewellery or some old toys.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Tom, what about you?- Maybe some sporting memorabilia.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Jim?- Militaria for me, Paul.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18CLOWN HORN HONKS No clowning around, teams, your time starts now.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- Let's go Bargain Hunting! - All right.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Let's go. Excellent.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Good luck, teams.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31The art is getting the right thing at the right price.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Exactly.
0:06:33 > 0:06:34It certainly is, Paul.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37I don't like anything there.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41I think we all know who is in charge here,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44so what do you have your eye on, Judy?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Judy, you've spotted something big and shiny.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- Yeah, I love it. - True to your strategy.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50So what do you like about this?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Just that it's big and shiny.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Tom, what are your thoughts on it?
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Yeah, I think it could be a centrepiece in somebody's room.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00This would have actually been on a lamp post.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03This would have been gas lighting from the 19th century.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- All right.- These would have been streetlights.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07I suspect these glasses are probably replacement,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- but it it's a big impressive thing, isn't it?- I love it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12It's been fitted for electricity, as well,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16so this could be in a nice big grand entrance hall.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- You like it?- I love it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Shall we have a look at the price tag?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23- Yeah.- £135.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26It's quite a lot of the budget.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- We can work on him. - We can work on that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31So what would you like to pay for that?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35Because it's been restored, maybe 70 or 80 quid.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Bear in mind, if you try to use that as your play,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40then they will probably have had spent money on it getting it restored.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Don't you think it would be on a film?
0:07:42 > 0:07:44A James Bond film or something?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47They're walking past, like... That would be lit up.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- I'm think more Oliver Twist, Judy. - Yeah, that's what I mean.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I think we're going to have fun with these two.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I'm going to go and find out the best price.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57You two have a look and I'll go off.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Good luck with the price, then, John.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Blues, how are you settling in?
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Oh! Are those little salt things in the kit?
0:08:06 > 0:08:11Yes. If they're silver, that would take a lot of our budget.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Are your salts silver?
0:08:13 > 0:08:15They're not, they're plate.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16But there are six of them.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20This is a table salt.
0:08:20 > 0:08:25None of this salt and vinegar out of a bottle or a caster. This is a table salt.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Scallop-form, of course.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Little dolphin supports. Now, if you had two of those,
0:08:30 > 0:08:35I'd be saying they'd need to be silver to have any credence, really.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Right, OK.- Do you know what the biggest problem is?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Who do you know who is ever going to use those in the real world?
0:08:41 > 0:08:46- You're right.- Good point.- You would need a 24-foot table, staff...
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- How do you know we've not got that? - Never assume.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I'd love to come to dinner at yours, then, Blues.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- How much are they?- I was asking 90 for the set.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03I'll sell them for 75 for the set.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- That's not dear.- At auction... It's about right. See what you think.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Oh, wow! Much heavier than I thought.
0:09:12 > 0:09:13There's substance there.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18If that's where the salt's coming from, what's the food going to be like?
0:09:18 > 0:09:24- Delicious.- I can see a whole pig here, actually.- Indeed, yes.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- What do you think, then?- I think we have to go for that one.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30- Perfect.- OK.- Shake the man's hand.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- Thank you very much.- Thanks.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34That was easy, Blues.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36First buy in ten minutes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Two more to find.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45John, what's the very best price for the lamp?
0:09:45 > 0:09:47She said £115.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50I then said, "What's your really best price?"
0:09:50 > 0:09:52110.
0:09:52 > 0:09:53She said, "I can't...
0:09:53 > 0:09:55"I paid a lot for it."
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- What are you thinking? - Would she do 100, no?
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I did ask and she said she couldn't.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I think I'll just have it because I love it!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- What do you reckon, Tom?- Please!
0:10:05 > 0:10:07We're having it!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Right. Fine.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Tom, you know this is going to set the pattern for things to come
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- for the rest of your life? - We can't do this three times.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18I know, but it's amazing and I seen it as soon as we walked in.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- Right. Fine.- Brilliant, well done. Guys, we've got our first buy.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- High five.- Woohoo!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Don't leave me hanging.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Good for you, Judy.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28First buy for the Reds.
0:10:28 > 0:10:3115 minutes in, and it's 1-1.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Blues, is this a car mascot?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36That's nicely executed.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39- We know what the car mascot is, don't we?- Yes.
0:10:39 > 0:10:40It sits on the front of your car.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Big radiator, out the front.
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- OK.- And you don't want the generic one that came necessarily with the car.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52The Rolls-Royce back at the stable, it's got the Spirit of Ecstasy,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54but this one, I'd like to personalise it
0:10:54 > 0:10:58and we go out and we buy the one that's unique to you,
0:10:58 > 0:10:59or it's how you feel.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03And it sells for me, because I think that would sit as well on your desk
0:11:03 > 0:11:08or in your little bijouterie cabinet as on the front of your car.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11- Price?- 85.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Is there a price south of that?
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'd take a tenner off.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18So it's 75 now.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19It doesn't do it for me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Sorry, doesn't do it for me, either.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23You can't say I didn't try!
0:11:23 > 0:11:25You got to feel it there, have you not?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Yes. I didn't feel it, I'm sorry.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- Too bad. Thank you very much. - All the best.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Never mind, Paul. Better luck next time.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Now, Tom, these might be up your street.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- Steam toys.- Oh!
0:11:37 > 0:11:42Huh? Liking these? Large steam engines and things.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47- The engineer in me. - Mamod, great toy manufacturer.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49This guy specialises,
0:11:49 > 0:11:52so I would have said that most of the money is on his price tag.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55So although there are some good things here,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I think we might struggle to get a profit out of it,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00but what child wouldn't want something like that?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Could you give that to a kid today?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- Hmm.- Judy, what are you thinking of these?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08You don't have to speak, you've already said it.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Your looks said everything.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11They certainly do, John.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Best move on, boys.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Judy's had a purchase. You've got to get one.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Yes, Tom, it's a team effort.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Full "team" ahead!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22So while the teams carry on with the shopping,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I want to show you some beautiful Glaswegian treasures.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36Arts and Crafts items are always popular in Bargain Hunt,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and today I'm joined by Gordon Foster,
0:12:39 > 0:12:44an Arts and Crafts specialist, who has brought along some wonderful items
0:12:44 > 0:12:46that were made right here in Scotland.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Gordon, tell me, what have we got here?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52What we've got, Anita, is a range of items made by Glasgow Girls.
0:12:52 > 0:12:57So, working at Glasgow School of Art about 1900.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Gordon, these are all wonderful, but this is magnificent.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Tell me about that. - That's a standout piece, yes.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10This is by a rather exotically named artist, De Courcy Lewthwaite Dewar.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13She was born in Ceylon, daughter of a tea planter,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16but came to Glasgow and spent most of her life in Glasgow.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18She specialised in enamelling,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22so here we have a wonderful example of an enamel panel by her.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26She also did the frame, the patinated copper frame
0:13:26 > 0:13:29in this Glasgow-style lettering.
0:13:29 > 0:13:30The queen of hearts.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33And there she is presenting us with one of her tarts as it were.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37But this particular plaque was exhibited in Cork in 1902.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38It's an exhibition piece?
0:13:38 > 0:13:39This was exhibited, yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43We know that, so it's quite an important piece from that respect.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45It must be very difficult to put a price on that.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47It is, yes, not something we are going to price today.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49It's really a museum piece.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Gordon, my eyes have been drawn to this beautiful pair of bowls here.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Delicately painted.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Tell me, who did those?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00These are by a lady called Helen Walton.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And she came from a very artistic family in Glasgow.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07She worked with her sister Hannah in a studio in the West End,
0:14:07 > 0:14:12but her brother was Edward Arthur Walton, the acclaimed Glasgow Boy.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14And her other brother was George Walton,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17who of course did the interiors of the tea rooms
0:14:17 > 0:14:18for Miss Cranston in Glasgow.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22She was particularly skilled in this delicate painting, as you said,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24on these finger bowls.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26They are decorated with crabs and lobsters,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30so it would have been used for rinsing after eating seafood.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And the nice thing about these as well is that they are signed
0:14:33 > 0:14:34with her initials, HW.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37What kind of price would you put on these?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40You would be looking at about £600 for the two, thereabouts.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43They are a little work of art.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45They are, aren't they? Little gems.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Can you tell me about these pieces?
0:14:47 > 0:14:51Yes. These again are Glasgow School of Art and we have two different artists -
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Mary Thew, who worked in Helensborough and Glasgow,
0:14:54 > 0:14:57and Rhoda Wager. And Mary Thew,
0:14:57 > 0:15:02her work is characterised by these small corded spirals and delicate...
0:15:02 > 0:15:03Almost like wire work?
0:15:03 > 0:15:05..delicate wire work, exactly, yes,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08and punctuated with semi-precious stones.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12This is one of the things that I like about Arts and Crafts jewellery.
0:15:13 > 0:15:18They're not using diamonds or emeralds or rubies, they are using
0:15:18 > 0:15:24these obscure, mysterious and somehow exotic stones,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26but a lot less expensive.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29All Arts and Crafts jewellers at this period, mostly,
0:15:29 > 0:15:32were working in silver and semi-precious stones,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35sympathetic colours that go along with the artist's design
0:15:35 > 0:15:37for the jewellery.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40One of the things that I like about the Glasgow Girls
0:15:40 > 0:15:45was that many of them were multi-skilled and they moved
0:15:45 > 0:15:48from one discipline to another.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Multi-skilled, multi-talented, full of creativity,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and as we can see with the array of things in front of us,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57all had their own slant and angle on things.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Thank you, Gordon, that was fascinating.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Now it's time to get back to the shopping.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Back to it. We're halfway through and it's 1-1,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16but Paul's struggling to get the Blues interested
0:16:16 > 0:16:18in their second item.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22What do you think of this? Of the table?
0:16:22 > 0:16:26It's OK. Maybe on this occasion we'll give it a miss.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's not jumping out.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Let's put it back, then.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Nothing the matter with that, if you like it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- It's not doing it for you, is it? - No because I like the other style.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41Argh!
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Interesting. You know how I'm playing this now?
0:16:45 > 0:16:46I've tried.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Over to them. See what they can come up with.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Paul's having a wee drama.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Lay low then, Laidlaw.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Reds, how are you doing?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Anything on here?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Nice...
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Oh! Look at that.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03What do you think, Judy?
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I like it. And it's only £25.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Do you know what it is?
0:17:08 > 0:17:10- Cutlery.- It is cutlery, obviously.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Is it fish?- It is indeed fish.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Let's have a look at one of these here.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Do you know, there's actually no reason for that blade to be that shape.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23No-one can actually explain why a fish slice is that shape.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27It's silver-plated, and I'm pretty sure the shape of this handle is known as
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Dubarry pattern, which I would guess is probably named after
0:17:31 > 0:17:33Madam Dubarry from the French court.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35That's a guess, but I think it's a good guess.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37So it's a fish set. It's in quite nice condition.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Does the fact that it's silver-plated mean
0:17:40 > 0:17:42that it's not going to sell?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Not at all. Silver-plated sells, silver-plated sells.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46That is in really nice condition.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I think that's got a chance, even if it's only sort of a 10,
0:17:48 > 0:17:5120 quid profit. I think it's got a chance.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52Should we have a go?
0:17:52 > 0:17:54You want to go and ask? See what you can do.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- We'll have a look at it. - Good luck negotiating, Tom.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Blues, have you found anything you like yet?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03It's a bit of a girl thing.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06OK. Shall we?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08I think we should explore it anyway and have a look.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11I know you say it's like a girl thing. I actually like it.
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- Right.- It's was a present to "Peggy".
0:18:16 > 0:18:18But, Paul, if that's got engraving on it,
0:18:18 > 0:18:21will it not tip the value of it at all?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22Engraving is double-edged.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24You could find it charming.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- Right.- You could know one or be called Peggy.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32A purist could go, "Well, I'd rather it was entirely anonymous."
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Let's have a wee look at the front.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39We have got a running border of... Looks like prunus blossom,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and then what I assume is a hinged lid.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- There you go.- Wow!
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Mirror.
0:18:45 > 0:18:52That is unmarked but, in my opinion, is silver.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Date-wise, between the wars.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00- OK?- The big question is, do they like it?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- I like it.- Oh!
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- I do.- Is this two "we like"?
0:19:04 > 0:19:09This is two "we like"s, providing the price is right.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I think it's way, way too much.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14What is it worth at auction?
0:19:14 > 0:19:1640, £50.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18It's a long way off.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You want to ask?
0:19:21 > 0:19:24My big problem is, at auction, I think it's worth a fraction of that.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Sure.- There is no way on God's earth you are taking 30 quid for that,
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- is there?- No, but I can do something with you.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32If I ask my little dog here.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Jacko, what do you say?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36ANITA: Ah, bless him.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39What do you say? £35?
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- £35 it is.- Is that an offer? - That's an offer.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44I'm going to shake on that, then, Jacko.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- Excellent!- You're the man, Jacko.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50You lot are barking mad...
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- Come on.- Let's go!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55..but the Blues are back on track. Item number two in 40 minutes.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00So, Tom, what's the best price for the fish knives?
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- We got ourselves a deal? - They could do 20 quid.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- 20 quid?- I think we should go for £20.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07- £20?- Yeah.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Right, well, high-five, then. This time, don't leave him hanging.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So I'm... You go and do the deal, then.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- All right.- Let's wrap it up.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Woohoo!
0:20:16 > 0:20:20The boss has spoken, and that's another shiny item for Judy.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Blues, will it be a struggle to find your final item?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27What's that thing at £48?
0:20:27 > 0:20:28- A card case.- For business cards.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32It was fashionable to leave your card on the salver in the hall as we entered
0:20:32 > 0:20:36the residence. This example here, mid-19th century, let's say.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Not rare. These survive.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Are they all as fine as that?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45No. Are they as collectible as once they were?
0:20:45 > 0:20:46- No.- All right.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Should you have another look at that one? Why not?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50- It's all right.- OK.- If you like it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Yes, I think we should have a look at that.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54- Do you?- Yeah.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56OK, so this we can see.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Mother-of-pearl.- Yep.
0:20:58 > 0:21:04This more vivid veneer is abalone, which is another type of mollusc.
0:21:04 > 0:21:05Again, it's part of the shell...
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- Right.- ..but much more vivid.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Ten years ago, I think you could get £85 for that, give or take,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13- under the hammer.- OK.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Today, it's worth half that on a good day.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19They're not what they were.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22Do you want to hang on? Want to ask?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Is there a bit of room for manoeuvre there?
0:21:25 > 0:21:27What would be your best price on that?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I can do 38 on it.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32You're not going to suffer badly.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I don't want to suffer at all.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Is that it? Can we push any harder or not?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- 35.- £35. - 35 would be the dirt.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42It's not a lot of money for a good thing, is it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Listen, my lucky number is 32.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48- Would you do it for that? - Is it? Mine's is 33.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50I'm not joking. 32 is my lucky number.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52- It is.- Go on, then. 32.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Woohoo! We're in!
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Well done, Blues.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Fantastic.- Well done, we've got all three!
0:21:59 > 0:22:02I wish I could say that was easy.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I think you guys, you know what you like, and you know what you don't,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09certainly. It's most of the things I do like.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Did it all go to plan, Blues?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- No.- Yes.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Yes, we have.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- In a way, yes.- In a way, yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We didn't fall out, that's for sure.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Not in the slightest, but that's later.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28- Yeah, all right.- Oh, I do hope not.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Now, Judy, what are you going to pick for your final item?
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Let me just show you something quickly.
0:22:36 > 0:22:37- I saw this...- Oh, I like that!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- You like that?- Yeah.- When I saw that, I thought of Tom.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Tom, you're not looking terribly impressed.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- No, I like it.- You like it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Yeah.- I don't think there's massive age to it,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48but I do think it's got the look.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- Yeah.- Do you like that? - For a study.- Yeah?
0:22:50 > 0:22:51- Yeah.- It's only got £38,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54but remember, it's not about spending big, it's about profits.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- Yeah.- You can spend big and lose big.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59Well, let's knock 'em down to 30 or 25 quid or something...
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Yeah, cos I don't... I like it, I don't love it.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Remember, this is not about what you want to take home.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It's about thinking about other people.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09- Yeah.- It's unusual, we haven't seen anything else like it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13- Yeah.- Yeah?- We'll see what the guy wants for it, what his best...
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Graham, right?- Yes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Yes, see, I've got a good memory.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Oh, you charmer.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But it's always good to get the stall-holder on-side.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22Tell us a bit about it, actually.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24I haven't a clue. It's...
0:23:24 > 0:23:28I would say it was 1960s, '70s.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33The clock is ticking. You don't have to, but we've got three minutes.
0:23:33 > 0:23:34- Yeah.- What do you reckon?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35I like it. I think we can...
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Graham, what's the best you can do on that, mate?
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- Take a tenner off it.- 28 quid? 28 quid.- Can you do 25?
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Oh, don't... She's a cheeky girl, isn't she?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Now the auditor came out in her then.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- It's gotta be 28 quid, hasn't it? - OK.- It's unusual.- Yes?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Quick, shake his hand before the clock ticks.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Judy, you have your three items.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Well done. Let's call time.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00That's it, teams, time's up.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Come on, we're done. We'll have a quick cup of tea,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and then I've got to go and spend some money.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Come on.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12First of all, Judy's eyes lit up when she saw this lamp,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15and they paid £110 for it.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Next, some more shiny items,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22this time in the shape of the fish knives, £20 paid.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And finally, with minutes to spare,
0:24:26 > 0:24:31they bought this modern desktop statue for £28.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34Well, my lovely young couple, did you have a good time?
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yeah, it was so much fun!
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Judy, you were like a kid in a sweetie shop.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41You were like a magpie.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44You wanted to buy everything, but now, tell me, Tom,
0:24:44 > 0:24:45what was your favourite item?
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- I like the sculpture.- Uh-huh.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49I'm having difficulty describing it,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51but it's kind of like an orbital sculpture.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Is it going to make the most profit, though?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Well, I hope so. We got a tenner off the price, so...
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Well done. What was your favourite item, Judy?
0:24:59 > 0:25:00My favourite item was the big lamp.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03Uh-huh. Is it going to make the most profit?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I think the cutlery might make the most profit...
0:25:05 > 0:25:07- Right.- ..because it was so cheap.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11Now, you spent £158. That's not too bad.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Yeah.- Could you give me 142, please?
0:25:16 > 0:25:21Right, which I will pass straight over to John.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23That's a lot of money.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And they didn't want to leave me more than a fiver.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Do you know what you're going to buy?
0:25:29 > 0:25:31I've seen a couple of things on the way around.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33We'll see if they're still there.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35While John goes off to buy his Bonus Buy,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:25:38 > 0:25:43First, they're serving up this silver salt set, £75 paid.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50This Chinese silver compact was their second buy, £35 paid.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53And finally, Adrienne loved this mother-of-pearl card case,
0:25:53 > 0:25:55and they shelled out £32.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Jim, Adrienne, did you have a good time?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- Fantastic.- You were very picky about what you wanted...
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- We were.- ..but you bought beautiful items.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05We did. We got three smashing things.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Yeah. What was your favourite, Jim?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10My favour, Anita, was the abalone and mother-of-pearl card holder.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Do you think it'll make the best profit, as well?
0:26:13 > 0:26:14For me, yeah, absolutely.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16OK, Adrienne?
0:26:16 > 0:26:18I think the one that'll make the most profit will be
0:26:18 > 0:26:20the little powder compact.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I really liked that, and I think that will...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Is that your favourite item?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26No, my favourite item would be the salt pots,
0:26:26 > 0:26:29but I don't think it'll make the most money.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Guys, you spent £142. Could I have 158, please?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35- You certainly can.- That's lovely.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Thank you very much.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40That will go straight over to Paul.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Do you know what you're going to buy?
0:26:42 > 0:26:43Well, I'll tell you this much -
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I feel a wee bit mischievous at this stage in the game,
0:26:47 > 0:26:48so brace yourselves.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54While Paul goes off feeling a little mischievous,
0:26:54 > 0:26:56we're going to head off to the auction.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Today, we're in Edinburgh at Shapes Auctioneers,
0:27:09 > 0:27:12and I've been joined by Dennis Clark.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Hello, Dennis.- Hello, Anita.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Let's get straight into our Reds, Judy and Tom.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22Their first item was this large copper lamp.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24What do you think about it?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Victorian piece, probably started off as a streetlight,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29it would have been originally gas-fired,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31now it's been converted to electricity.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Has the hanging chains there, potentially used as a ceiling light,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37although it's a big item.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But it's a good thing, and we tend to do pretty well with these
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- on the day.- It's an architectural antique, isn't it?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45- Yes, it is.- What's your estimate on that?
0:27:45 > 0:27:4680 to 120.
0:27:46 > 0:27:52Well, they've paid £110, so there's light at the end of the tunnel there.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54There is, there is light at the end of the tunnel.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58And I think it has every potential to make 120, top estimate.
0:27:58 > 0:28:04Excellent. Now, their second item was this case of fish cutlery.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Now, it is Dubarry. It's a good make.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11That looks as if it's never been used.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Yeah, Dubarry is a good make for fish cutlery.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I don't know how practical it is nowadays.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19It's in good condition, though, and all the pieces are there,
0:28:19 > 0:28:20and it's in a nice old case, as well.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Yeah, what's your estimate, Dennis?
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- 20 to 40.- Well, they paid £20.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It should make 20.
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Item number three. Dennis, what do you make of this?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I don't know, is the answer.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37It's a novelty piece, possibly a desk item.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And it's in perfect working order.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43It's in perfect working order for those who like it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Well, it's the sort of thing that you could see sitting perfectly well
0:28:48 > 0:28:50on a contemporary desk.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Yeah, yeah, I would agree.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54It's a decorative item, so...
0:28:54 > 0:28:56- What's your estimate?- 20 to 40.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Well, they've only paid £28,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01so you think that there's a hint of a profit there?
0:29:01 > 0:29:03We might get it away at that.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05They may not need their Bonus Buy,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Well, Judy, Tom.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You spent £158.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17You left John 142.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20A lot of money. What did you spend it on?
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Well, it was a lot of money to give me, but I didn't spend much of it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:30In fact, I only spent £20 on this novel silver propeller brooch.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32I love it!
0:29:32 > 0:29:35You do? I'm pleased that you said that, Judy, which is why I bought it.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38I find novelty silver items at the moment are performing quite well
0:29:38 > 0:29:42at auction, and often outperforming what their, sort of, you know,
0:29:42 > 0:29:44their weight value is, certainly.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- Uh-huh.- But I can imagine somebody, you know, like an old man with,
0:29:46 > 0:29:48like, a little hat wearing it.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- Really?- And he was in the RAF or something.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53Maybe an old pilot.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55So do you think it's going to make a profit?
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Well, I think for £20, it's not going to make much of a loss, is it?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00But certainly for me, it's worth more than £20.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03You don't need to make up your mind just at this moment,
0:30:03 > 0:30:05but in the meantime,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of John's
0:30:08 > 0:30:10silver propeller brooch.
0:30:11 > 0:30:18John's Bonus Buy was this little silver brooch in the shape of an aircraft propeller.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21What do you think of that, Dennis?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25Novelty item, decorative piece for those who are interested in planes,
0:30:25 > 0:30:26transport, that type of thing.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30- It is silver.- Well, I think it's got a sort of Art Deco look about it...
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- Yes.- ..which makes it very attractive.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Do you think this will fly at auction, Dennis?
0:30:35 > 0:30:36What's your estimate?
0:30:36 > 0:30:40- 10 to 15.- Well, John paid £20, so...
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Yeah, it could do that.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Well, that's it for the Reds.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Now over to the Blues, Jim and Adrienne.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Their first item was this boxed set of salts.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Quite impressive-looking, Dennis.
0:30:53 > 0:30:54Tell me what you think about that.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Yeah, it's a nice case set of condiments.
0:30:57 > 0:30:58All the spoons are present,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01and the shells themselves look in good condition.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03And the case is not too bad, as well.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07Does the modern diner need that type of item?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Not as much, not as practical as it used to be, I would have thought.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12What's your estimate?
0:31:12 > 0:31:17- 30 to 50.- Well, they paid £75 for that one, so...
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Yeah.- ..that could be a wee bit tricky, do you think?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22It could be a bit tricky on the day, but I'll do my very best.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Their second item was the Chinese compact.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29The Chinese market is hot just now.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34Yes. Yeah, I agree, the Chinese market is very popular at the moment.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Probably more a novelty piece now, but it's in good condition,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41there is a bit of pitting to the inside interior, though,
0:31:41 > 0:31:44and it isn't signed, it's unmarked.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45Tell me what your estimate is.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- 40 to 60.- 40 to 60. They paid 35, so that could reflect a profit.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Yeah, they should get more than that.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Excellent. Third item now, and this is Jim's favourite.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58What's your opinion of it?
0:31:58 > 0:32:0119th-century calling-card case, mother-of-pearl.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05Looks in good condition, the hinge is good. Silver lozenge cartouche,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07which could possibly be engraved.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13But is this the type of thing that would have a use in these modern days?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16Probably not, but they tend to sell fairly well in auction.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Perhaps a collector's item...
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Yes.- ..to sit in a nice little bijouterie.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Yeah, I agree, more a collector's item.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Yeah. You seem pretty confident about this, Dennis.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- What's your estimate?- 50 to 70.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Well, they paid £32.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Oh, that's a good buy.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36They may or may not need their Bonus Buy,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43Jim, Adrienne, you spent £142.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47- We certainly did.- You left Paul 158. Paul, what did you buy?
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Forgive me, I couldn't resist!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56We had a sneaky feeling that you would do that!
0:32:56 > 0:32:58- I'm quite pleased, actually! - Are you?!
0:32:58 > 0:33:00I thought you were going to be cross!
0:33:00 > 0:33:03No, because I did like it in one way.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05You know how I feel about this.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- Yes.- This is uncommonly fine, and do you know what? Since I bought it,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11I've looked into it a wee bit further.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14I have not been able to find another example.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- OK.- And that's a good thing.
0:33:16 > 0:33:22- Right.- I think this, 1920s, probably French, was high-end then,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25relatively few made, and rare today.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Connoisseurs should appreciate this.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Wow. Wow.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32And, how much did it cost?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- £55.- Wow.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Happy?- Very happy now, yes.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Delighted. Do you think it can make us a few bob?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44As an auctioneer, I would be relaxed about the auctioneer's hedge
0:33:44 > 0:33:46of £80 to £120.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Oh, excellent. I'm really chuffed!
0:33:49 > 0:33:50You do seem pleased,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53but you don't need to make up your mind just at this moment.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58- Yes.- Let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Paul's car mascot.
0:33:59 > 0:34:05Well, Paul's Bonus Buy was this little car mascot.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Don't know what car he's come from.
0:34:08 > 0:34:09I think he's French.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- What do you think? - Yeah, French item,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14again, I don't know what car it comes from.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19It's... The character is Pan, Pan the faun, playing the pan pipes,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21but it's a fairly collectable thing.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23I mean, it's difficult to know where to start.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Car mascots, early ones, are desirable.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28What estimate would you put on that?
0:34:28 > 0:34:33- 60 to 100.- They paid 55, so you seem fairly confident on that one.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Yes, yes, I think that's a good buy,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38and I'm hopeful it will make at least bottom estimate.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Excellent. Well, that's it.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Are you our auctioneer today, Dennis?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- I am, Anita.- Excellent. Well, go grab your gavel.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Anyone for 20? 20's bid.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Any advance on 20 now?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Judy, Tom, here we are at the auction.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Now, how are you feeling?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Are you confident?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00I'm so excited!
0:35:00 > 0:35:03- Can't wait.- You're an excitable girl, aren't you?
0:35:03 > 0:35:08First item was that vintage street lamp.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10You love it to bits, and it's coming up.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12We have the large Victorian copper street lamp there,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14converted to electricity.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18Nice item, though, and I've commissioned bids at £110.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21£110 starts the bidding.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Any advance on 120, 130?
0:35:24 > 0:35:26It's back at the book at £130 now.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Any advance on 130?
0:35:28 > 0:35:29All done at 130.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31One more!
0:35:31 > 0:35:33130.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Plus 20.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39What a girl. Your next item - it's that case set of fish cutlery.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Good luck, here it is.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Dubarry fish knives and forks, in the nice case there,
0:35:44 > 0:35:45starting at £20.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48£20 for the fish cutlery, starting at 20.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- Come on!- I'll take 15, then.
0:35:50 > 0:35:51Ten again, then, let's get going.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Ten is bid on my right, seated at ten.
0:35:53 > 0:35:5515, fresh bidder.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5620, fresh bidder in the room.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- 25.- 25!
0:35:59 > 0:36:0230 on the phone. 35.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04We're amazing at this!
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Any advance on 35?
0:36:07 > 0:36:08All done at 35.
0:36:09 > 0:36:1535, well done. Another profit, of 15.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Now, all together, that's plus 35.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You're doing wonderfully well.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24Your third item is the orbital desk ornament.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Good luck. Here it is.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28It's the chrome-and-brass orbital desk ornament there.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30And who will start me at £20?
0:36:30 > 0:36:32Let's get going now. I'll take 15, then.
0:36:32 > 0:36:3515 is bid. 20, fresh bid in the room.
0:36:35 > 0:36:3725, fresh bidder now.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38It's standing at 25.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4125! Come on!
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Any advance on 25 now?
0:36:43 > 0:36:45- Please!- Are we all done at 25?
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Fair warning, I'll sell in the room for 25.
0:36:49 > 0:36:5125, so near!
0:36:54 > 0:36:59You have an overall profit of £32, which is absolutely wonderful.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01You've got to make up your mind now.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Are you going to take your Bonus Buy?
0:37:03 > 0:37:04- We're going for it. - Yes, John, we will.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- You're absolutely sure?- I think they just need the adrenaline rush.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Ah, yeah. Well, John paid £20 for it, and I have to tell you that
0:37:11 > 0:37:15the auctioneer's estimate is 10 to 15.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- It might be a come-and-buy-me estimate.- Well, I think it's lovely.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Let's hope they do.
0:37:22 > 0:37:23Coming up right now.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26This is a silver brooch, modelled as the plane's propeller there.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Nice item. Who will start me at £10?
0:37:28 > 0:37:31£10, straight in at £10 in the room.
0:37:31 > 0:37:3315, fresh bidder, all the hands are up.
0:37:33 > 0:37:3520 at the back of the hall now.
0:37:35 > 0:37:3925. It's at the door at £25 in the room.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Any... 30, still going now.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44It's at the back of the hall, standing at £30.
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Any advance on 30 now?
0:37:45 > 0:37:47All done at 30? Selling for 30.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Brilliant, brilliant, £30.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54That gives you another £10 profit,
0:37:54 > 0:38:01which takes your overall profit to plus £42. Congratulations.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Isn't that absolutely marvellous?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Could be a winning score, of course,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09but don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Adrienne, Paul, here we are at the auction. How do you feel?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22Excited, bit nervous.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26A bit nervous? Are there any items that you are a wee bit worried about?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28I think my first one, the salts.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33It is a live auction, we do not know the outcome until the hammer falls.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36First item's coming up, so good luck, guys.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38And I have a commission bid.
