0:00:02 > 0:00:03We are in Lincolnshire today,
0:00:03 > 0:00:07the birthplace of the mathematician and physicist Sir Isaac Newton.
0:00:08 > 0:00:10In 1666,
0:00:10 > 0:00:12the young Isaac was sitting in his garden
0:00:12 > 0:00:14when an apple fell from the tree.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18In a stroke of genius, he came up with his theory of gravity.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22It's my theory that our teams
0:00:22 > 0:00:25will be touched by a stroke of genius today.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27So, what are we waiting for?
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Let's get to the CORE of the matter.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Well, you don't need a mathematical formula
0:00:57 > 0:00:58to work out where we are today.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02We're at the Lincolnshire Antiques And Home Show.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09Our teams have £300 and just one hour in which to buy three items
0:01:09 > 0:01:10to take off to auction.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13But which team will gravitate to a profit?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Let's see what's coming up.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21The Reds lose their marbles.
0:01:21 > 0:01:22There's one marble missing,
0:01:22 > 0:01:25and I notice you've got a whole collection of marbles here.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Yes, I noticed that!
0:01:27 > 0:01:28And the Blues can't add up.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31So we've got 35...
0:01:31 > 0:01:34- I think it's 35?- No, it's not, it's 80.- 85. Oh, no, I thought it was 35!
0:01:34 > 0:01:37I thought it was a bargain!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And there's plenty of excitement down at the auction.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44That is astonishing!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49But that's all for later. Now, let's meet today's teams,
0:01:49 > 0:01:53and for the Red team today we have mum and daughter Louise and Alicia,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57and for the Blues we have dad and daughter Glen and Lauren.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Hello, everyone.- Hello.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01- How are you?- Really good, thanks.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Looking forward to it?- Yes!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Good, good. Now, Louise, you're not only Mum, but you're boss as well,
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- are you not?- I am, yes,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13I run a small residential lettings company in Leicestershire
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and I employ Alicia and my best friend,
0:02:16 > 0:02:19and we have some lovely tenants and lovely landlords.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22Now, Mum, you have a passion for horses, don't you?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I do, I do, I have four horses.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25And do you take them to events?
0:02:25 > 0:02:30Yes, we do, we do show cross-country, team chasing.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So, Alicia, what about you, has this love of horses rubbed off on you?
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Yes, I started having riding lessons when I was about eight
0:02:37 > 0:02:41and then on my tenth birthday my mum bought me my first pony.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- Exciting!- I did cry, and I know it's very spoiled,
0:02:44 > 0:02:48but since then, it's been a dream and a passion.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- Wonderful.- I've had a little girl,
0:02:50 > 0:02:54so I'm hoping she'll probably follow in the footsteps as well,
0:02:54 > 0:02:55we'll have to get her a pony!
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Exciting, how old is she?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00- She's 11 months. - Is she well-behaved?
0:03:00 > 0:03:01She can be!
0:03:03 > 0:03:05She takes after me, so she's quite fiery.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Oh, yes, I have heard you can be outspoken.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Oh, have you?- Yes, would you like to say a bit more about that?
0:03:11 > 0:03:12I did ask my grandma if she was around
0:03:12 > 0:03:14when the world was black and white.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And I also said to her, "Grandma, when I'm older,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23"will I have five bellies like you?"
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- Oh, no!- I know.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- That's awful, isn't it?- Blimey!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Almost a sackable offence, isn't it?
0:03:29 > 0:03:30It is, it is!
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Now, what about tactics today?
0:03:32 > 0:03:34Well, my mum's going to be in charge, as always.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Going to have to keep a tight rein on her, aren't you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- Yes, I am, yes.- Anyway, good luck with the shopping.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- Thank you.- Well, that's the Reds, now let's go onto the Blues.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Lauren and Glen here. Lauren, you're the arty one, aren't you?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I am indeed, yes. - Tell me more about that.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Well, I'm a secondary school teacher
0:03:49 > 0:03:53and I teach textiles, art and photography.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Now, that creativity is taken home as well,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57- you are creative at home?- Oh, yeah, definitely, all the family, yeah.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59All the family are really, really creative,
0:03:59 > 0:04:00I get it from my mum and dad,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03and my brother's really creative as well, yes.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Brilliant. Now, Glen, you run a tiling company, don't you?
0:04:06 > 0:04:09- That's right, yeah.- You're also a fish vet?
0:04:10 > 0:04:16We keep fish, we found out that through the winter months,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19that's when all the fish suffer with the diseases,
0:04:19 > 0:04:25so I ended up making, like, an operating theatre in my garage
0:04:25 > 0:04:30where I could take fish out for 20 minutes and then operate on them.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32So you can CURE a fish?!
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Most fish, yeah!
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You've also got an allotment, haven't you?
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Well, we do a big charity event at Halloween every year.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I get all my seeds from America, giant pumpkin seeds,
0:04:45 > 0:04:49grow them down on the allotment, we've had them up to 900 pounds.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52900 pounds?! How big's that?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- About so big. - Look at us two doing it!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Did you hear that, girls? It's a heck of a Halloween!
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It is really good, so...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Now, when it comes to shopping, Lauren, you're the arty one,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03- you will be looking for... - Yes, indeed,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05I quite like kitsch and vintage things.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- Do you?- Yeah, so...
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Might there be a little bit of a clash here, I sense?
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- I think so, definitely, yes.- You're more of a traditionalist, I think?
0:05:13 > 0:05:15We've decided we're going to have one apiece
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- and then we'll fight for the last one.- We'll fight.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Sounds as if you know exactly what you're going to do.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23What are you missing for going shopping?
0:05:23 > 0:05:24- Money!- Some money!- Yeah!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27They weren't slow with that, were they?!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29I've got £300 for you.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30Thank you very much.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32I've got £300 for you.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35- Thank you.- Go and find your experts and have a wonderful time.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Off you go.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Thank you!- Well, we have a mum versus a dad,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42but don't forget the daughters.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46All our teams need now are their experts.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Mixing it up for the Reds, it's Raj Bisram.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Will it be handbags at dawn?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57For the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So, girls, what are we looking for today?
0:06:00 > 0:06:04I'm looking for something that I would buy,
0:06:04 > 0:06:09that's probably got a bit of use to it and maybe horsey-related.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Lauren, you're in the pink!
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- Indeed!- Loving that! What are you going to be looking for?
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Something really quirky, a bit kitsch, a bit vintage.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21I fancy some old furniture, I think.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- Really?- Yes.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Something unusual, something Arts and Crafts.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Ladies and gentlemen, your time starts now.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- Let's get going.- Let's go.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Shall we have a little look outside first,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37then if we get chilly we'll go for a warm-up inside?
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yes, definitely.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Best of luck, teams.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- I like a good walking stick.- Yeah.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46I love that.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Nice little food cupboard, isn't it?
0:06:48 > 0:06:50Do you know what it was used for originally?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- No.- Well, it was a meat safe.
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Oh, gosh!
0:06:53 > 0:06:58The grill on the front to keep away the mice and rats.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Victorian, I would say, looking at it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Pine underneath all that chipped paint, probably.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Condition inside?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Good job we opened the door!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Always open the door!
0:07:10 > 0:07:13There's definitely nothing in it, Kate.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Maybe not a profit, anyway.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18The Reds, however, might have found something for Louise.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19You said you like sticks.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Sticks, yes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22This, look,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25it's a horse-measuring stick.
0:07:25 > 0:07:26So it's measured in hands,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30so this actually comes up so you can measure your horse,
0:07:30 > 0:07:34and they are very, very saleable and at auction that would make...
0:07:35 > 0:07:36..£100 at auction.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39I'm going to leave it with you, I'm going to go and find the stallholder
0:07:39 > 0:07:42- and find out what the best on it is, OK? Be back in a sec.- Thank you.
0:07:44 > 0:07:45Yeah, that is beautiful, isn't it?
0:07:47 > 0:07:53- It appeals to our...- OK, girls, the best on it is £130.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Now, I think it's a really nice thing,
0:07:55 > 0:07:58and especially you love horses and so on, but I just don't think...
0:07:58 > 0:07:59It's all the money, isn't it?
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I think it's all the money, to be honest.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Best leave it, then, ladies. Move on.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Meanwhile, vegetable-grower Glen has his eye on something.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08Oh, this one?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I was just looking at this majolica dish.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Asparagus dish. What do you think, Lauren?
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I quite like it, it's quite quirky. It did catch my eye, yeah.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17But I know there's different sorts of majolica
0:08:17 > 0:08:22but the proper majolica isn't going to be £29, is it?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Well, there are lots of people that made majolica and really we're
0:08:27 > 0:08:31talking about moulded ceramics with colourful glazes normally,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35not to be confused by the Italian maiolica
0:08:35 > 0:08:38which is spelt in a similar way but very different.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So majolica - moulded wares, very often novelty pieces,
0:08:41 > 0:08:44and there were three leading firms or manufacturers
0:08:44 > 0:08:45in Britain that did it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51Minton, Wedgwood, and George Jones, top-quality majolica.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Now I can tell you straightaway this isn't by one of those firms.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57You're looking at the quality of the moulding,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59you're looking at the colour of the glaze,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01and did you see this is quite a pastel colour?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well, the leading firms use quite striking, dense colours,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07turquoise is a favourite colour.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And the Victorians loved it.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12It started off really being fashionable in the Victorian period.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17This is a much later piece, very much 20th century, maybe '50s.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21If we turn it over you can just make out Portugal there.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23If you like, it's the poor relation.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25That's fine, there's a place for that in the market,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27but it's got to be at the right price.
0:09:27 > 0:09:3029 is on there, shall we ask the question?
0:09:30 > 0:09:31Put a cheeky bid in.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- Just let me...- Yeah, take that, take that with you.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Careful now! Is he accident-prone?
0:09:36 > 0:09:38No! No, I am!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Oh, are you?!
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- £12.- 12. Have you bought it?
0:09:43 > 0:09:46No, I said it's up to you, we'd ask you.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- Oh.- Yeah.- £12. - Cor, what a gent.- I know!
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Well, I think that's much more like an auction price.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Yeah?- Yeah.- Go for it, then.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- What do you think?- I think we've got our first item, well done!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Great, so do you just want to go and confirm? Brilliant.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00- How fantastic!- This is brilliant!
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Well done, Blues, you're first off the mark.
0:10:03 > 0:10:0815 minutes in, and an asparagus dish is yours for £12.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Now, where are the Reds?
0:10:09 > 0:10:12- A little solitaire board. Do you play solitaire?- I don't, no.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15No? You know, people like those, they're quite a decorative item,
0:10:15 > 0:10:17and it can still be played with.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19I think it's probably got one of the marbles missing,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21but they can be replaced, no problem at all.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's got £35 on it.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25At auction, right,
0:10:25 > 0:10:30that would be estimated, I guess, somewhere between 20 to £40,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32and it probably would make,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I'd say it would make nearer to 30 at auction.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38If you could get that within that price range, or, you know,
0:10:38 > 0:10:39at the bottom end, we've got a chance.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Do you like it?- I wouldn't look at it and think,
0:10:42 > 0:10:46"Oh, I'd want to buy that myself," but it's about making money.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47Making some money, yeah.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49What's your best price?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52I would do it for 25 for you.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54To be honest, I'm just -
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I think if you got it for 20, we'd have a chance.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Could you do that for us?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01Go on, then. I could, if you...yeah.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03In that case, girls, I think we've got our first deal,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05shake the lady's hand.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Thank you so much, sweetheart, thank you.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Thank you ever so much.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Fantastic. OK, girls, let's keep going. Thank you.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14These Red ladies don't mess about, either.
0:11:14 > 0:11:1817 minutes in, and they've spent £20 on their first buy.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Back to the Blues, Lauren thinks
0:11:20 > 0:11:23she might have spotted a potential second purchase.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24I really do like that trunk.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Do you? This one, Lauren?- Yeah, I really do.
0:11:26 > 0:11:27I like the shape of it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30But let's have a little look. So you've got some wooden struts here.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's open it up.
0:11:32 > 0:11:38Now, straightaway I can see the main clasp there isn't there.
0:11:38 > 0:11:39It's seen a bit of life, hasn't it?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Yeah, definitely, yeah. I think it's a bit too far gone.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44But if you like trunks, I think there's plenty around.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47- Let's go and see if we can find some more.- Brilliant. Thank you.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49- Shall we head inside? - Yep.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Meanwhile, Raj is on the case of the missing marble.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55We've just got the solitaire board off you
0:11:55 > 0:11:56and it's one marble missing,
0:11:56 > 0:11:59and I notice you've got a whole collection of marbles here.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Yeah, but you were explaining about the marbles so nicely,
0:12:02 > 0:12:03I didn't want to throw...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- But you will put one in there, won't you?- I will do.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Oh, you are so good, you are so good.- Thank you.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16So Raj's eagle eyes make this solitaire board an even better deal.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Now some printmaker's wood blocks have attracted arty Lauren.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Guys, I lost you, where did you go?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25This is neat. This looks right up your street.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Yeah, yeah, definitely, because I've got some at home.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29So, when you're teaching art at school,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31do you do any printing with them, Lauren?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Yeah, we do a lot of printing at school.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36We do a lot of lino printing, so it's kind of the same thing,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39carving it out of the lino and then printing it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40What's the pattern on that one?
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- A rose.- Oh, lovely.- A rose for a rose.- A rose for a rose,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47flattery will get you everywhere!
0:12:48 > 0:12:49He's talking to me!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Don't tell them!
0:12:53 > 0:12:54So which one do you like, guys?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Would these bring anything at auction?
0:12:56 > 0:12:59Well, I've no clue what the price is.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01What are we talking here, in terms of money?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Well, they're 55, the ticket, but 40 is the best on it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05- Is that for the two?- No.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Oh.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09It is a little bit of an niche market.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Yeah.- Not sure it'll bring us a profit.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Shall we keep it up our sleeves?
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- Yes.- What do you think?- Yep. Definitely, yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17OK, you have one for later.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Now, how are the Reds getting on?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Oh, I quite like this.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26I mean, that's quite nice, a little lady's trinket box.
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- Yeah.- You like that?- Yeah, I do.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30And that wouldn't affect it at all, in there?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32To be honest, I don't think so, not at all, no,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35and you could get that off if you really wanted it,
0:13:35 > 0:13:37but that shows it's got some age to it.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- Silver-plated, yeah?- Yeah, it's silver-plated,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41and it's got a little shield as well there,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43a little coat of arms, as well.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45I guess it's probably continental.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47- But you like it?- I like it, yes.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50It's priced up at £85.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53That would be an estimate of 30 to 50, but if you like it,
0:13:53 > 0:13:56I would go in at 25, OK?
0:13:57 > 0:14:02And if she won't take the 25, maybe go up to 30, but that's it.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Let's go for it, shall we?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Yeah.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07Get ready to negotiate, Alicia.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11We really like it, but would you be able to do it for 25, at all?
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Oh, no wonder he was whispering about it!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17I couldn't quite do 25.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20I could do 40, but that's about as low as I can do on it.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22No? Can't do 30?
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- No.- Because we've got to try and make some money from it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- I know.- I'm desperate to get the Golden Gavel.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I-I think there is a compromise here somewhere.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34I reckon we should go a bit over what I said.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- Maybe 32?- 32, spot on.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37That's it. 32.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40- Go on, then. Yeah?- Let's shake hands, yeah.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- Brilliant.- Only because she wants the Golden Gavel,
0:14:43 > 0:14:44and hopefully you get it.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Thank you.- Brilliant, two items done, one to go,
0:14:47 > 0:14:48now we can really relax.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50MUSIC: Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Relax? Don't do it!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54Complacency has sunk many a team.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00With 30 minutes left, I hope the Blues are still as keen.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Now, Lauren, you know you really liked that trunk outside?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Oh, yeah. Yeah.- Well, I found you a smaller model,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08but I think it might be a little bit more commercial.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10- Yeah.- What do you think, what do you think, Glen?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I was going to say, it's got more usage, hasn't it, than the big ones.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Yeah. Vintage luggage is really in at the moment.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20This is a really cute size, I thought, actually,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23but the good thing is, from one perspective,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25it's not actually crocodile skin,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29which is what it looks like. It's actually faux crocodile, it's mock.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Because if we open it up, inside,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34you can see that it's actually thick card inside,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36- it's not leather, it's not skin. - Yeah.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38But it's got that lovely look, hasn't it,
0:15:38 > 0:15:42which of course in the 1930s, where this dates from,
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- this was the height of fashion. - Yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48You can also see - there's some little telltale signs - just where
0:15:48 > 0:15:51the brown has worn, you can see it is card underneath.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54You wouldn't get that on proper crocodile skin.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57What would you be expecting at auction for that?
0:15:57 > 0:16:01The price there is 28, which I don't think is too bad.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04You've got the clasps that were once shiny chrome.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07They're a little bit worn, but for me,
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- that's part of its history.- Yeah.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13So I would put 20 to £30 on that at auction.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Want to try a cheeky offer?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- Yeah.- Would you want to have a word, Lauren, because it's your thing.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- Yeah.- Right, Lauren, go and see what the best price is.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Oh, hello, Beth, hi.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Hello, you all right?
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Just wondering what your best price would be.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29My very best price would be 15 on this.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30Well, I'm going to stick my neck out
0:16:30 > 0:16:33- and say I think there is profit in that.- Yep.- Done deal, then.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35- Shall we do it?- Yeah.- We'll shake your hand, madam.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37- Second item done.- Brilliant, yeah.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Great.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46Brilliant, Blues. The mock croc case snapped up, with 20 minutes left.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Now, while both teams look for their third item,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51I'm off to take a closer look at the value of silver.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00When did you last use a teapot?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03For some of you, quite a while ago, I expect.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I've got a teapot here, nothing particularly special.
0:17:06 > 0:17:12It is 1934, and made in Birmingham.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14So, what's it worth?
0:17:14 > 0:17:21Well, perhaps just as a teapot, as an object - £30, £50?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24But, of course, what's its scrap value?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Now, scrap doesn't necessarily mean it's got holes in it,
0:17:28 > 0:17:33or it's damaged, it's actually the value of the silver content.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I'm going to go outside and ask the people of Lincoln
0:17:36 > 0:17:39what they think of my teapot - scrap it or keep it?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- Buongiorno! - Buongiorno.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45- How are you?- Bene grande.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Oh, bene grazie.
0:17:47 > 0:17:48Do you like my teapot?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Yes. It's not something that I would buy.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- It's silver.- It's silver.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55Very smart. It looks like it needs a little bit of a polish.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Would you keep it or would you scrap it?
0:17:58 > 0:18:00I'd keep it.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02I probably wouldn't keep it myself,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05but I don't think I'd scrap it, that sounds a bit mean.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07What do you think it's worth?
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- Probably £45?- £45.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12£50?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13110?
0:18:13 > 0:18:15120?
0:18:15 > 0:18:16About £120?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Well, there we have it, I think everybody liked my teapot,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and actually they wanted to keep the teapot,
0:18:25 > 0:18:27but they were way out on the valuation.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31The fact is, that this teapot weighs 14oz,
0:18:31 > 0:18:36and the price of silver today is between £13 and £14 an ounce,
0:18:36 > 0:18:39so you're getting onto a value of nearly £200,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42that's in its scrap form.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Well, I've seen huge fluctuations in the price of silver in my lifetime.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49In 1980, people called the Bunker Hunts
0:18:49 > 0:18:51tried to corner the world market in silver.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It went zooming up, £3, £8, £10, to well over £20.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Then in 2011, on the back of the monetary crisis,
0:18:59 > 0:19:03silver went whacking up again, and in both those periods,
0:19:03 > 0:19:07we lost a lot of really lovely Georgian silver.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Anyway, my teapot, I quite like, and despite its value,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I'm going to keep it.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Back to the shopping.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22With 15 minutes left, both teams are on a par,
0:19:22 > 0:19:24looking for that elusive third purchase,
0:19:24 > 0:19:26and the Blues are also silver-spotting.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Well, there is a great selection here, guys, loads of shiny stuff.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32What is it that takes your fancy, Lauren?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35- I quite like that little envelope. - This here?- That's quite cute, yeah.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38Let's get it out and have a closer look.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39- Now, what do you think?- Oh, yeah.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- What is it, actually?- Could you keep your stamps in it?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44You have got it, she's on the ball, isn't she?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46You got it in one.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49If you open it up, can you see there's a little divider there?
0:19:49 > 0:19:54- Yeah.- If you look how slim it is, you'd pop your stamps in there.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57You could even have one compartment for first class,
0:19:57 > 0:20:00and the other compartment for second class, if you are clever.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The condition is lovely, and I have to tell you, it is English silver,
0:20:04 > 0:20:07because we've got a little hallmark here on the lid,
0:20:07 > 0:20:12and we also should have another hallmark on this piece.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16So when you get little pieces of silver, this is a really good test,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19they should be hallmarked on all the separate pieces,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21and of course, this little hinge here
0:20:21 > 0:20:24is a completely separate piece in the manufacturing process.
0:20:24 > 0:20:28- Gosh.- So both pieces, crucially, should be hallmarked, OK?
0:20:28 > 0:20:32Now I think it dates to roughly,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35possibly sort of George V period, which was sort of after 1910,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37it could be '20s, '30s.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Yeah.- That hinge is so neat.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Yeah, it's lovely, yeah.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45- Look at that for a piece of engineering.- Yeah, it's brilliant.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48- And what...- Now, you're more the businessman, Glen,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50what do you think about the price?
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- I'd say half of that. - So we've got 35...
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- I think it's 35...- Oh, no, it's not, it's 80.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59- Is it 80 or 30?- 85.- I thought it was 35, I thought it was a bargain!
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- No.- It's quite nice, because it's a double one,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04and that is more unusual.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08If I was being mean, I'd put an estimate of 40 to 60 on it,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11but I think there's a good chance it could make more than that.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13- Yeah.- So let's find out what they want.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- You want me to do it? - Go on, I'll let you go.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Go on, Glen, work your Yorkshire charm.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22There isn't any chance of that at 40, is it, please?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25While the ladies wait for Glen to work his charm,
0:21:25 > 0:21:27the Reds are stepping it up.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30It's quite unusual, but people really like them now.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31- Yes, they do.- These old steps.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- I've seen them painted, and people putting plant pots on them...- Yeah.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36..and they can be used.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39If you can get a set of steps at the right price...
0:21:39 > 0:21:40It's definitely worth an ask.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I just wondered how much your wooden steps were?
0:21:42 > 0:21:4424 is the best on them.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Yeah?- Is that the very best?
0:21:46 > 0:21:48It is. I have 28 on the...
0:21:48 > 0:21:52We want to get these for around 15 each, OK, so if we bought two,
0:21:52 > 0:21:53- maybe we could get a better price. - Yeah.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55If we were to buy...
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- Two lots of steps.- ..two pairs of steps, what could you do them for?
0:21:59 > 0:22:0040. I couldn't do them any less.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02- OK. I think it's going to be close. - OK...
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- I mean... - Because there's some more up there,
0:22:04 > 0:22:05you can have the pick of the bunch.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- There's some big taller ones up there.- OK.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11They're quite nice, actually, I think, because I like the...
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- You like that?- Yeah. - Yeah, I like the string on those.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Yeah, the string on those, and then the...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18It is going to be tight, I warn you,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- this is going to be a possibility of a profit on this one.- Yeah.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24How about 38?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- It's got to be 40.- Yeah.
0:22:26 > 0:22:27What do you think, girls?
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- BOTH:- Hmm!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31The Reds hold their ground,
0:22:31 > 0:22:35while the stallholder checks if she can lower the price any further.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37In the meantime, Ken is back alongside the Blues
0:22:37 > 0:22:40with news on the silver stamp case.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- Best price is £60.- 60.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- OK.- They'll not go any lower than that.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48- Well, you know, it's the top end of my mean estimate.- Yeah.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Could we see if they'd put it away and just have another look?
0:22:51 > 0:22:53We could. How are we doing for time?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- What we got?- We haven't got an awful lot of time.- Yeah.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57We couldn't just hold it
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- maybe for five minutes, could we? - Course we could.- Yeah.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- OK, let's do that.- Is that OK?- Yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Hold it for five - but you're cutting it fine.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06There's only ten minutes to go.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09Now, has there been a climb-down on the price of the steps?
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Hi, there. Any good news?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Yes, he says 38, because you're his favourite.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- Oh, how lovely!- Aww.- Thank you. - Brilliant. Fantastic.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- That's so good. Thank you. - That's OK!
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You're going to have to decide which ones you want.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I'll let the girls do that. So, we've got two pairs at 38.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Do you like those two?- These were originally more expensive, anyway.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Yeah.- So, let's go for these two. - We like those.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31- These are the two we are going to have.- Okey dokey.
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Fantastic, thank you very much indeed.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Thank you very much.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36That's our three items - let's go and get some fresh air, shall we?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Bye!- Thank you!- Thank you.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40So, the Reds are done and dusted.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42But with only five minutes left,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45the Blues are still scouring the stalls for that third item.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Hey, these would be good for the allotment.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49What do you think, hey?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- What sort of money is your telephone, sir?- 250.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- 250?- Yeah? Forget that.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Thank you very much.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Hmm, maybe a little expensive.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01What's that you have there?
0:24:01 > 0:24:02It's a prune drier.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06If you put plums on it, you put them into a kiln, it dries them.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- It's lovely. - I think we need to move, don't we?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- It's nice, but...- It's lovely -
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- but maybe not in our auction in Grantham.- That's right, yeah.- OK.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Not many prune dryers in the Grantham area.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20With just two minutes left,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23panic brings them back to the silver stamp case.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- Was it down here?- Yeah.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28OK. Right, I'll go and see if there's anything he can do.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29OK, brilliant.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Go, Kate! You need to be quick.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Fingers crossed.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37You're never going to believe this - it's your lucky day.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39You know, the stallholder's come down another fiver.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- So, it's 55.- Oh, that's brilliant! - Oh, brilliant!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44- Happy with that?- Amazing, thank you so much.- Definitely.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46So, you've got your third piece.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48You know what? I think that fiver will make all the difference.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52- Yeah, definitely.- Yeah. That's brilliant!- Well done!
0:24:53 > 0:24:55MORSE CODE BEEPS
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I've got the message. Right, teams, your time is up!
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Brilliant. - Come on, I need to lie down.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Definitely!
0:25:06 > 0:25:09Now, let's remind ourselves what the Red team have bought.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14First up, they made an early move on this solitaire board,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17with handmade marbles, paying £20.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21They paid £32 for a trinket box...
0:25:24 > 0:25:26..and, finally, they stepped it up,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30buying two wooden stepladders for £38.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Well, Louise and Alicia, that was pretty painless, wasn't it?
0:25:33 > 0:25:34- Yes!- Yes, it was wonderful.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38- What's your favourite lot, Louise? - Um...I think the trinket box.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- The trinket box?- Yeah.- You got a heck of a deal on that, didn't you?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- We did.- My word!- Yes, yes. - What about you, Alicia?
0:25:44 > 0:25:45- The same.- The same?
0:25:45 > 0:25:46Yeah, the trinket box.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48What's going to make the biggest profit?
0:25:48 > 0:25:49I'm hoping the trinket box will.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- Trinket box? Well, it's all trinket box, trinket box, trinket box.- Yeah!
0:25:53 > 0:25:54What does the maestro think?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Would you believe it, Charlie? I like the trinket box!
0:25:58 > 0:25:59Well, that's marvellous.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01You didn't spend a massive amount of money, did you?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- No, we didn't.- No.- No, no.- No. - £90.- £90.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Well, it means... Oh, you've got it there.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09210.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Raj, £210?- Ooh!
0:26:12 > 0:26:13What are you going to do with it?
0:26:13 > 0:26:16I'm going to buy something that will fit in the trinket box.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19So, while Raj goes off to buy something really nice
0:26:19 > 0:26:20that fits in the trinket box,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22we'll check out what the Blue team have bought.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27First up, for £12, they bought this asparagus dish.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33They snapped up a faux crocodile skin suitcase for £15...
0:26:35 > 0:26:37..and, finally, they made a last-minute dash
0:26:37 > 0:26:40for this silver stamp case, paying £55.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Lauren and Glen, decisive shopping.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Indeed. Indeed.- Oh, yes!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- You know what you like, don't you? - Yeah.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51But you didn't spend a huge amount of money.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- No, we didn't, no.- No.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54What's your favourite lot?
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- The little silver stamp... - The bit of silver?- Yeah, definitely.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Well, silver, you can't go too far wrong with silver.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00- Yeah.- That's right. - Are you of the same opinion?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02That and the trunk.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04The little...crocodile case.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Fantastic. The only danger with all this, of course,
0:27:06 > 0:27:08and not spending much money,
0:27:08 > 0:27:13it does mean that Miss Bliss is going to have a fortune.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- So, I think I want £218 off you. - Yeah, yeah.
0:27:16 > 0:27:17That's quite a lot, isn't it, Kate?
0:27:17 > 0:27:19It is a lot, look at that.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20I'll get your change.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22And the shrapnel, yes.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24That's it. There you are.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Lovely!- What are you going to do with it?
0:27:26 > 0:27:28Well, they've done so well,
0:27:28 > 0:27:30I'm going to have to keep the standards up.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- Ooh, dear!- It's a challenge.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35So, while Kate goes off to keep the standards up,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36we're off to the auction.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Today, we're in the lovely town of Grantham,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45home of the magnificent St Wulfram's Church -
0:27:45 > 0:27:48and the auction is just down the road...
0:27:52 > 0:27:54..and I'm with the boss, Colin.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- Hello, Colin. - Good to see you, Charlie.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00The Red team, Alicia and Louise, what do you think of their objects?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02What about the solitaire board?
0:28:02 > 0:28:04Well, let's just hope when we go to auction
0:28:04 > 0:28:06we do have more than one person playing.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Ha, ha, ha! Very good.- Mm!
0:28:08 > 0:28:10What do you think about the marbles, though?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12They are a bit all over the place, aren't they?
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Mis-shapes, mistakes and misfits, really, aren't they?
0:28:15 > 0:28:17Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
0:28:17 > 0:28:19- It adds intrigue, should we say? - Yeah.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21Will it add value? I've no idea.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Well, you'll find out - but the polished wood is rather good.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Is it yew wood? It looks like yew wood to me.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29It does, it does have that sort of grain to it, doesn't it?
0:28:29 > 0:28:3125-40 is the estimate we've put on it.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, they paid £20 for it.
0:28:33 > 0:28:34OK, looks like there's a chance for them.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Keep you to your word, there.
0:28:36 > 0:28:37What about the casket?
0:28:37 > 0:28:39- Good mounts on it.- Yeah.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43It's a little bit sort of rudimentary in the base metal to it.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- You'd expect it to be better quality...- Yeah.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46..but I think it's decorative enough.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I have placed an estimate of 25-40 again.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53- Well, that is just bracketing the cost of £32.- OK.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58Now, we've gone from these two items to something rather different.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00What do you think of those stepladders?
0:29:00 > 0:29:02I think it's for the man with two libraries.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Yes. That's right!
0:29:04 > 0:29:06These sort of rustic things, when they come to auction,
0:29:06 > 0:29:09there's usually plenty of people bidding for them.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10Again, an estimate, to tease everyone,
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- I've gone for the hat-trick. - Have you?- 25-40 yet again.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17They paid 38.
0:29:17 > 0:29:18- So, if you could just...- OK.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21..ease it up to the top level, they may do well.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25They may, however, need recourse to their bonus buy.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Let's have a look at it.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33Alicia and Louise, were you really happy giving this man £210?
0:29:33 > 0:29:34Er, yes.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37You look slightly nervous.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Well, let's see what you've done with it.- Well, girls...
0:29:39 > 0:29:41it's not chocolate...
0:29:41 > 0:29:42- BOTH:- Ooh!
0:29:42 > 0:29:44How lovely.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46They're little cameos, and they're...
0:29:46 > 0:29:47I think they're off rings.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- So....- Oh, yeah! - ..they've all been taken off,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53and there's a nice little collection of 19th century cameos.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Lovely.- Oh, lovely.
0:29:55 > 0:29:56- So, how much are we looking at? - Yeah.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58I spent £25.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02- No!- Yeah.- It's got to be a profit, surely.- Ooh!
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I like your optimism.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05They're beautiful.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07They should be.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09They should fetch £40-£60 all day long.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11- You like them, girls? - Yes.- Yeah, definitely.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Well, I'm so pleased you like them. - Yes.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Raj likes them.- Yeah. - I quite like them.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Does the auctioneer like them?
0:30:21 > 0:30:22What do you think?
0:30:22 > 0:30:25This looks to me like the last number of years
0:30:25 > 0:30:28- when all the gold has been melted away from a number of rings.- Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I think these are the leftovers from that melt
0:30:31 > 0:30:33and somebody has made a really nice display of them...
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- ..and that's what you've got.- Yeah.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40It's the sort of thing you can place a fairly hefty estimate on them,
0:30:40 > 0:30:43and that should hopefully drag them up by their bootstrings,
0:30:43 > 0:30:46because...essentially, they're not great.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48I've put an estimate of 40-60,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51and hopefully that will bring people in to spend a few tens on them.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Can you get a £25?
0:30:54 > 0:30:55I'll try my hardest.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- That's what Raj paid, £25. - Right, OK. Yeah.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- A sort of 50-50 shot, isn't it?- Mm.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Now, on to the Blues, Lauren and Glen.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06We start off with something, we all know what it is, don't we?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- Yes, asparagus dish.- Yeah.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It's got a type of majolica glaze to it.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12- CHARLIE LAUGHS - I think...
0:31:12 > 0:31:14All right, I'm clutching at straws.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15- No, no.- It's a bit of pot.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I liked the way you haven't put the word majolica into the catalogue.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- You'd have people phoning up from everywhere, wouldn't you?- Indeed.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26It doesn't really have that exotic 15th century look about it, does it?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Not quite. What's it worth?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I suppose £15-30 is the sort of range for it.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33- Well, they only paid 12.- Did they?
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- OK. Yeah.- What about the suitcase?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38A little bit worn around the edges, looks rustic.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Yeah.- Been well used.
0:31:40 > 0:31:45It's a simulated skin, so no real problems there.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Again, it doesn't really inspire.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50If you went on holiday, you wouldn't get a lot in there, would you?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- I suppose you could keep your small change in there.- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- That would match the estimate of 15-30.- 15-30?
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Paid 15.- OK.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Looking quite promising, this, isn't it?- It is, yeah.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01What about that little stamp holder?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Nice little piece of silver, there, in the form of an envelope.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06- Beautifully crafted.- Yes.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Very much a novelty item.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11It's going to appeal, obviously, to the silver trinket collectors...
0:32:11 > 0:32:14- Yeah.- ..but also, you should get people interested
0:32:14 > 0:32:18- from the philately fraternity... - Yes.- ..and maybe 40-60, I think.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- They paid good money for it.- Right.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23- £55, so...- OK.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25..it's there or thereabouts, isn't it?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Doesn't seem too painful. - Of course, after all that,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29they might need their bonus buy.
0:32:29 > 0:32:30Let's have a look at it.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Well, Lauren and Glen, Kate liked your purchases.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39- Ooh!- Ooh!- When you sent her off with that massive £218, what did she say?
0:32:39 > 0:32:42"I'm going to keep up the standard."
0:32:42 > 0:32:43- Yeah!- Have you, Kate?
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Tough call - but, yeah, this is what I've come up with.
0:32:47 > 0:32:48- LAUREN GASPS - That's nice.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Oh, my gosh. I really like that.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Do you?- Yeah!
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Oh, my gosh!- Quirky, that, in't it?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Here's me thinking you were going to say,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59- "Oh, she's bought us a rusty old tin."- Oh, no!
0:32:59 > 0:33:01That is amazing.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03- If you turn it over...- Oh, yeah!
0:33:03 > 0:33:07..you can see there's a little tab just here.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08- Oh, yeah.- Give that a pull. There you go.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11- Oh, gosh!- So, it's a biscuit tin...
0:33:11 > 0:33:14- Oh, right!- ..but it's not just any old biscuit tin.- Mm!- Yeah.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- Because, in the 19th century... - Yeah.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19..the leaders in biscuit-making in England
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- were a firm called Huntley & Palmers.- Gosh.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26They started making novelty tins,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- and this is one of the rarer versions.- Oh!
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- So, if you look, it's all about the titles of the books.- Yeah!
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- You've got The Pickwick Papers, you've got Robinson Crusoe...- Yeah.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40..and this is the most sought-after library set for collectors.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Yeah! How much did you pay for it?
0:33:42 > 0:33:44£38.
0:33:44 > 0:33:45- That's good.- Oh!
0:33:45 > 0:33:47What do you think it'll make in auction?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50That's got to be £50 of anybody's money, certainly.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Brilliant.- Brilliant. Yeah. - I would hope a little bit more.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Yeah. Brilliant. - Could be quite a profit there -
0:33:56 > 0:33:59but you don't have to make up your mind now, wait until the auction.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02Meanwhile, let's go and see what Colin Young, the auctioneer,
0:34:02 > 0:34:04thinks of Kate's biscuit tin.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11- There we are.- I've seen these make anywhere between £100 and £200...
0:34:11 > 0:34:14- Yeah.- ..but, the inevitable thing... - I knew there was a "but" coming.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16There's always a "but", isn't there?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19- The but on this occasion is actually condition.- Mm.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24So, looking at other examples that have had this little bit of wear,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- little bit of tear, it's lived in, basically.- Yeah, yeah.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30So, I've put 40-60.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32Is that painful, compared to purchase?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35No, no, I think Kate bought it reasonably well. £38 paid.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- OK.- So, you'll be taking the sale, Colin?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Indeed I will.- I look forward to it.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Be a pleasure.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Girls, have you been to an auction before?
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- No.- No.- Never?- Exciting. - Are you excited by it?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Yes.- Now, starting off with the solitaire board.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Confident?- Yes.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57- Yes.- What about the marbles, Raj?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59- They're various types. - I've lost them.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03More than once!
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Very, very good.
0:35:05 > 0:35:06Here we go, here it is.
0:35:06 > 0:35:0919th-century polished wooden solitaire board.
0:35:09 > 0:35:1010 is bid on the internet.
0:35:10 > 0:35:1210, 12, now, do I see? It's your move now.
0:35:12 > 0:35:1410 bid, 12, now, do I see? 10, are we all done?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Maiden bid has it, then.
0:35:16 > 0:35:17At 10, are we all done now?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19- It's the only bid, on the net. - ALL GROAN
