0:00:02 > 0:00:05Hello and welcome to Scotland.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Today's antiques fair takes place
0:00:07 > 0:00:10at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12But before we head off inside,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15I'd like to introduce you to this big strapping laddie.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Take it away, Ian!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Argh!
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Well, I fancy having a wee go at that myself.
0:00:24 > 0:00:27Arghhhhh!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59We all know the rules of the game by now.
0:00:59 > 0:01:04The Reds and Blues have 60 minutes and £300 to buy three items.
0:01:04 > 0:01:09The team that makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss wins.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12Let's have a look at what's coming up in today's show.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15We have a competitive bunch.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17The Reds are determined to find a bargain.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20- Every item £1.- Every item... Well... - Yeah, we have to.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22You've got to make a profit on this.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24- You really ARE Bargain Hunting, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27The Blues want to win at all costs.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30We don't want to just beat the Reds.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- We want to BEAT the Reds!- Exactly.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39But will all this fighting talk pay off at the auction
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- for the Reds...- And more. - ..or the Blues?- More!
0:01:45 > 0:01:49But that's all for later. Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52For the Reds, we have friends, Amy and Catherine,
0:01:52 > 0:01:57and for the Blues, we have dad and son, Mark and Martin.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59Hello, everybody, and welcome. Hi!
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- ALL:- Hello!- So, Amy, how long have you and Catherine been friends?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08So, we met, originally, in nursery, so that was 24 years ago.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12And then we stayed together through school until we were 17.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15We were only allowed to sit next to each other once
0:02:15 > 0:02:18before we got asked to be removed quite quickly
0:02:18 > 0:02:21- for chatting too much, basically. - Too much blethering.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Too much blethering and causing trouble.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Do you ever fall out?- Occasionally. - Occasionally, yeah.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- More when we were younger.- Yeah. - I believe you're very sporty.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Yeah, we grew up doing a lot of sports together,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36so we used to play basketball for Scotland.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Wow, that's very impressive, boys.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41We did a lot of running together as well, and hockey.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43And now we've got a few new hobbies on the go.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Really? Sporty hobbies?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48- Not so much any more. More crafty.- Oh, right.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51So, we like making our own gin, making our own candles
0:02:51 > 0:02:53and going out for dinner a lot.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Yeah, well, women of many talents there.- Yeah.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00Catherine, what do you know about antiques and collectibles?
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Well, we know bits and pieces.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05I grew up with a great-aunt that owned an antique shop
0:03:05 > 0:03:07- in the Grassmarket in Edinburgh. - Wow.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, things have been passed through the generations
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- and you know a little bit as well, actually.- Yeah.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15My two great-aunts also owned an antique shop in Edinburgh
0:03:15 > 0:03:18and my uncle owns quite a successful one in London,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20so I don't if it's quite been passed on,
0:03:20 > 0:03:22but we'll see what happens today.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Have you been phoning them up and asking advice?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Yeah, we've been having meetings, we've been Skyping...
0:03:28 > 0:03:30ANITA LAUGHS
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Do you like spending money, girls?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35No, I like a bargain, so I don't like spending money at all,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- but today, it's not my money, so... - THEY LAUGH
0:03:38 > 0:03:41- What kind of team will you make? - We're really competitive
0:03:41 > 0:03:45because we've played a lot of sport and stuff, so watch out, Blues.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- We're here to win.- Yeah.- We are here to win.- You're here to win.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50So, that's the Red team.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Let's meet our Blues, dad and son, Mark and Martin.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00Now, Martin, why have you chosen your dad to be your team-mate here?
0:04:00 > 0:04:07- It's mostly because my wife said no. - Oh, right. You're only second best.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Apparently, but I can forgive him that
0:04:09 > 0:04:12because him and his wife have produced twins,
0:04:12 > 0:04:15so I'm a grandad now, so he can do no wrong in my eyes.
0:04:15 > 0:04:20- Oh, right, is this a recent double event?- Five months.- Yeah.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23- Five months.- And do you love being a grandad?- It's fantastic.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27- I thought it was never going to happen.- One for each arm.- Yes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31- They're getting a bit big now, mind you.- Well, congratulations, Martin.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Thank you so much.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- And congratulations to you as well, Mark.- Thank you.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Now, Mark, you work for an engineering company,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40but I believe you like to tread the boards.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I like to think I can act a bit and sing a bit
0:04:43 > 0:04:45- and I did think I could dance a bit. - Uh-huh.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Until one show we were doing, Little Shop Of Horrors.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We were doing a mega mix at the end,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53where everybody dances through the finale
0:04:53 > 0:04:56and the producer sidled up to me and said, "I wonder, Mark,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59"if you wouldn't mind just waiting in the wings while we do this."
0:04:59 > 0:05:04- So, maybe not such a good dancer. - He didn't think you were very good.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07- But you enjoy performing. - Oh, very much, yes.
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- Well, we'll see how you perform today.- Well, I hope.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Martin, I believe you're a dab hand in the kitchen.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Well, I do actually work as a head chef,
0:05:18 > 0:05:23so I would like to think so, anyway, since I'm getting paid to do it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25What do you do to unwind?
0:05:25 > 0:05:29I've played drums for, um, maybe 15 years now.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Your dad's shaking his head.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yeah, he was happy about that when I was younger.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Was he even happier when you left home to get married?
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- Yeah, absolutely!- What are your tactics going to be today?
0:05:40 > 0:05:45- 300 quid, let's spend it. Go big or go home.- So, you want to win?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Do we want to win? We want to smash it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51LAUGHTER
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Before you start shopping, there's one thing you need -
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- 300 smackeroos, girls. And 300 smackeroos for you.- Thank you.
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- Thank you.- Your experts await, so off you go. ALL:- Thank you.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08What a competitive bunch we have today.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Should be a great competition.
0:06:10 > 0:06:15All our teams need now are their exerts.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Leading the fanfare for the Reds, it's...
0:06:20 > 0:06:24And keeping the Blues focused, it's...
0:06:27 > 0:06:29What are we going to be buying today, Amy?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32I think I'd quite like to get something quite Celtic.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34I'm half-Irish and half-Scottish,
0:06:34 > 0:06:36so something from my heritage would be really good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38What are we looking to buy?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41If I see something that I like, go for that,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43because chances are someone else will like it.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Looking for some tartan, some blankets,
0:06:46 > 0:06:47maybe even a whiskey decanter.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49You're talking my language now, girls.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51I've always been a big fan of watches,
0:06:51 > 0:06:53so maybe if something like that crops up.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Action, teams. Your time starts now.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- CAMERA WHIRRS - Let's go Bargain Hunting.- Whoo!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Come on, let's go then.- Right.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07We have two lively teams today.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Anything on here catch your eye?- No. - No?- No.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Don't panic. There's plenty of choice here.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16- Shall we?- This way? That's fine.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Over here, every item £1. - Every item... Well...
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Yeah, we have to. - You've got to make a profit on that.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- You really are Bargain Hunting, aren't you?- Yeah.- I hope so!
0:07:29 > 0:07:32You're under no pressure whatsoever.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Just the pressure of buying three items in an hour, Blues.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Reds, is there anything here off your shopping list?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- You think you saw some tartan? - There's a tartan blanket down there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- A tartan blanket. - It looks quite new.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- I think that's sentimental but we've got to think about our profits.- OK.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Yes, that's the idea, Reds.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52MARK LAUGHS
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Reds, this 1930s glass looks Scottish.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- VENDOR:- Monart glass. It's got the original label.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05It's interesting how these are made.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06You have different coloured glass here.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09They take a blob of glass and they blow it and stretch it
0:08:09 > 0:08:11so that you start to get this marbled effect,
0:08:11 > 0:08:13but they also roll it on a marving table
0:08:13 > 0:08:17- where they have the gold dust.- Oh. - Right, OK.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19So it gets picked up in the molten glass
0:08:19 > 0:08:23- and you have this wonderful effect, which is known as "aventurine".- OK.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25It's quite a distinctive thing
0:08:25 > 0:08:28and there are a couple of good glass-making factories
0:08:28 > 0:08:30up in Scotland that produced it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32It's a nice thing and you can see, with the light,
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- when the light hits it, it's a nice thing.- I like it.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I think it's got a lot of character about it.- You like it?
0:08:37 > 0:08:39I like the story about it and the fact it's Scottish.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- And the fact it's Scottish.- Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- You were looking to buy something Scottish.- Yeah.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Could we get a Scottish item for our first item?- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:08:46 > 0:08:48You've got £138. What's the absolute def on it?
0:08:48 > 0:08:52To give you a fair chance, I'll do it for £90, is the very best.
0:08:52 > 0:08:5390 quid. What do you think?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56I think, cos the auction is in Scotland, it would sell quite well,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- and the fact it's still got its sticker.- I like it.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- The sticker's slightly damaged. - What about £85?- Couldn't do it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- They're tough, these girls. - I'm giving you a good price.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- There's nothing in it, honestly. - Sure you can't go to £85?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11No, I'm doing well for you. You're getting £48 off, which is very good.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13They drive a hard bargain, these girls.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- I know you do. - It's up to you, girls.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Yeah, I think we should go for it. - Yeah, let's go for it.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Thank you very much, sir. We've bought ourselves our first buy,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- and a genuine piece of Scottish glass.- Yeah.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Just ten minutes in
0:09:24 > 0:09:27and that's something Scottish bought for the Reds already.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30What's Martin spotted for the Blues?
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Actually, there's something here.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35If anything, I'd quite like to know just what it is.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- I can guess which one you're curious about, the chef.- Yes.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Do you know what that is? It's a manche a gigot.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- For holding the bone.- Course it is.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- If you're going to do it, do it in style.- Absolutely.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53£48. Well, is this silver? It won't be solid silver.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Silver plate or silver cover. No, silver cover.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58There's a little poincon there, a little French assay mark.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00And it's a little clamp.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02You've got teeth in there, over the bone,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- clamp it up and now we can carve away merrily.- Right.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08What do we think of that, Chef?
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I do actually quite like it,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but I'm conscious that not many people
0:10:14 > 0:10:16eat meat off the bone any more
0:10:16 > 0:10:20and, if they do, they probably don't use them to do it any more.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I suspect you're right. What does Dad think?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Well, if we could get it for the right price.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29£48, I think, would be a good result at auction.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33- It's not as if we're a country mile away.- Yeah.- Are we going to ask?
0:10:34 > 0:10:36- Yeah, why not? - Shall we ask the question?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- Who's going to ask?- I'll ask.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- The manche a gigot. We like it.- Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:46But that's not really giving us much of a chance at that price.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50What's the absolutely death? Can I tell you what I'm thinking?
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Tell me what you're thinking.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57And if this sounds rude, I apologise, but I'm thinking 30 quid.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58No, that's too low.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03- What would be your best?- £38.- £38...
0:11:03 > 0:11:06- You wouldn't go £35?- I'll do £35.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- You happy with that?- Yeah, I'm happy with that. Let's do it.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14- Flattery gets you everywhere.- Thank you very much, that's very generous.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Thanks for that. Wonderful. - Thank you so much.- OK.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Fantastic!- There we go.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22You bought quality and you bought something foodie, which I like.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25- Yes, so do I.- Onwards, ever onwards. One down.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Yes, one down, two to go.- Let's go.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32You're cooking on gas, Blues. 15 minutes down, and it's one all.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Neither team is hanging about. John, what's next?
0:11:37 > 0:11:42- Look what I've found, girls.- Ah, looks like the guy from Monopoly.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44What do you think of that?
0:11:44 > 0:11:46I understand this was for your fire irons,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- so you'd hang those on from behind the fire.- OK.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51So, these would be your fireside companions.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Now, he is £38, and I'm sure we could get a bit more off that.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- What do you think of him? - Yeah, I quite like him.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Is it anything special or...?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- I just like him because he was a dog and he was Scottish.- Ah, John.
0:12:04 > 0:12:05I think he'd make a great doorstop.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07But if you don't like it, you've got to say.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I do like it but I don't love it. - Yeah, I'm with her.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- I'm not sure, John. - Do you want him, John?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Maybe if there's some money left over. Good find, John.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18We'll leave him there and let's hope he's still here.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Come on then, girls.- Thanks, John.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26It's a pause for thought, though, Reds. Blues, what's next?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29What's your knee-jerk reaction to this gaudy stuff here?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Knee-jerk? I don't like it. Awful. - Really?
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Actually, I quite do like it.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- There's mother-of-pearl inlay and things.- It is, yeah.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- It's a little writing box.- I was going to say, is it a writing desk?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43A wee writing slope. It's got £110 on it.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49- Is there any wriggle room in that? - Yeah, um, 90?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52What's the most generous you can be?
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- £75.- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Right.- It's £75.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Do you want to pursue this conversation?
0:13:00 > 0:13:05- Shall we have a closer look at it at least?- So, we are 1850s.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08- Uh-huh.- OK, and this a genteel household.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11And when we're writing our daily correspondence,
0:13:11 > 0:13:17we do so using our fabulous little lacquered mache writing board.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Drop that forward, like so,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23and there we have a plush, lined, gilt-tooled,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26leather-edged writing surface, with a pen tray,
0:13:26 > 0:13:32little recesses for stamps, to the left, and ink bottle, to the right.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38I actually love it. 75 quid seems all right. What's your opinion.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's no money. What? It's no money!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43I'd say "pretty good" is an understatement.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- This could be my item.- Yeah. - I like it.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I personally don't like how it looks
0:13:49 > 0:13:54but I do appreciate the work that obviously went into making it.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56- If we're agreed?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- Excuse me, sir. We'll take that at £75.- Good, OK.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.- Let's go.- Right, OK.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Item number two for the Blues. Thoughts, Paul?
0:14:10 > 0:14:1322 minutes down, two items bought. And those two items...
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Well, they're all right, are they not?
0:14:15 > 0:14:20Quite classy, quite traditional. All is well with the world, and I'm off.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23So, while Paul heads off and the teams continue shopping,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I've found some wee objects I want to show you.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37These were found in a box of old buttons.
0:14:37 > 0:14:43They were nestling below a bundle of odd tin and plastic buttons
0:14:43 > 0:14:46which were, indeed, not worth a button.
0:14:46 > 0:14:52These are a pair of early 20th-century cloak fasteners,
0:14:52 > 0:14:56so I suppose they do, indeed, perform
0:14:56 > 0:15:00the same function as buttons, but these are very special.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05These were made by Alexander and Euphemia Ritchie,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08who had met as students at Glasgow's School of Art
0:15:08 > 0:15:11at the height of the Celtic revival
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and the Scottish Arts & Crafts Movement
0:15:13 > 0:15:16at the end of the 19th century.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Alexander and Euphemia made their home in Iona,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25a tiny Hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And it was here that they would produce
0:15:28 > 0:15:30their unique Celtic jewellery
0:15:30 > 0:15:34and become amongst the most sought-after silversmiths
0:15:34 > 0:15:36of the 20th century.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40The design features on Ritchie jewellery
0:15:40 > 0:15:44were influenced and inspired by the ancient stone carvings,
0:15:44 > 0:15:48crosses and manuscripts found on the island.
0:15:48 > 0:15:55Our cloak fasteners show the Celtic triple spiral, the triskele,
0:15:55 > 0:16:00which is the symbol of the unending force of nature.
0:16:00 > 0:16:06And these are encircled by a stylised Celtic knot,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09the geometry of everlasting love.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13And these may well have been given to a bride
0:16:13 > 0:16:15by her groom on their wedding day.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20On the back, we can see the embossed symbols
0:16:20 > 0:16:23for Alexander and Euphemia Ritchie.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28Arts & Crafts jewellery and silver is popular today
0:16:28 > 0:16:31and the brooches and crosses by Ritchie
0:16:31 > 0:16:35are easily recognisable and greatly sought-after.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39This rare and unusual piece could be easily missed
0:16:39 > 0:16:45and it would be the jewel in the crown of any collection.
0:16:45 > 0:16:52In a specialist sale, this item could fetch in excess of £1,000.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Not bad for a pair of old buttons!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Back to it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06We're approaching the halfway mark, and it's 2-1 to the Blues.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Both teams have been negotiating hard
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and appear to have their eyes on the prize.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- I think we work well together.- Yeah, we just want to beat the Blues.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Yeah, true. Beat the Blues.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20We don't want to just beat the Reds.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24- We want to BEAT the Reds.- Exactly!
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I love it when we have a battle on our hands.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Reds, could this hold a profit?
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Yeah, I like it.- Is it an umbrella stand or something?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35That's what it would be used for now, but it's a coopered barrel.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- £48.- OK.- This is an old tradition
0:17:38 > 0:17:42and when you actually understand how they're made, it's marvellous.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44There's no joints, no glue.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47They are pieces of wood that have been shaped.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51If you look at them and how they swell and also, on the edges,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53they taper, so that when it's put together
0:17:53 > 0:17:55and they put these metal rings round them,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57it holds liquid tight, it's watertight.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00And, obviously, liquid, once it comes into contact with wood,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03would swell, so it makes it even tighter.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05It's an interesting thing, isn't it?
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- Yeah.- I like it.- I would have that. - Yeah?- Would you?- Yeah.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- But I wouldn't pay £48 for it. - What would you pay?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- What about the profit?- It's an interesting thing, a nice thing.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17If we could get it, I don't know, perhaps 35 quid,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- something like that.- Yeah. - I'm up for it.- Yeah.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- Let me go and grab the stallholder, see what we can do.- Brilliant.- OK.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Fingers crossed with the price then, Reds.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Blues, are you still sailing along nicely?
0:18:29 > 0:18:35- Ocean liner memorabilia.- Yes. - It's hot. Think of the glamour.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39You've got your Art Deco aesthetic, you've got iconic name
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and you've got a hell of a backstory.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45You've got glamour and romance wired into it.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48What about the aspect of it being an ashtray?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Yeah, that's a fair observation.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53I think it's enough money. Tab's saying £50.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I think it's dear at that.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- My suggestion would be to keep looking, just at the moment.- Yeah.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- We know it's here, that's the thing. - Yeah.- We know it's here.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Does that make sense? - Yeah.- Onwards then.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Right. Thank you. Thanks very much. - Thank you.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Keep looking, Blues.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15You have 25 minutes to find your final item.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18John, what's the best price for the barrel?
0:19:18 > 0:19:23- Right, ladies here are interested in your barrel.- Mm-hmm.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25You've got £48 on it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28They've got to take it to auction, try and make a bit of a profit
0:19:28 > 0:19:30and I appreciate you do, too. What can you do on this?
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Um, I could do £40. - We were hoping nearer £30.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38- Oh!- I'll do £35.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Yeah, meet in the middle.- We'll meet you in the middle, definitely.- £35?
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- Yeah.- I really like it.- Shake the lady's hand.- Thank you very much.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47- Thank you.- Thank so much. - Good luck.- Thank you.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- And I'll roll out the barrel.- Oh! THEY LAUGH
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Good one, John. So, that's 2-2.
0:19:53 > 0:19:5620 minutes left to find your final items.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Oh, dear. The Blue boys have got distracted.
0:20:00 > 0:20:01See if it works.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07- 500.- Quite annoyingly impressive.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09MARK CHUCKLES
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Oh! No pressure for me, no pressure for.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22- Oh, you're worse.- Well, I'm not interested. It's clearly broken.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Yeah, it's rigged.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27So, Clown-N-Up, patented...
0:20:27 > 0:20:32It looks like it was patented 29th August, 1933. That all works.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Your aesthetic, your sports chaps here.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Look of the '30s, jazz age, let's say.- Uh-huh.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I think it might be American. Do they not...? Baseball player.
0:20:43 > 0:20:48- They're American. 1930s, bagatelle type game.- Right, OK.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52- Clown-N-Up. What did you say the price was?- I do actually like it.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57- £38. That's a blast.- Surely that would appeal to toy collectors?
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- Yeah. - Especially antique toy collectors.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04That would appeal to loads of people, just because it's fun.
0:21:04 > 0:21:10We're starting at £38. £30 doesn't sound overambitious, does it?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12And what's it worth? Must be worth £30, £40, £50.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17- Maybe if we offer £25, she'd come up to £30.- Go for that?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Does that sound like a plan? - Sounds good to me.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Like it. Don't be offended if I make you a cheeky offer.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- Yes, you can.- £25.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- £28 and it's a deal.- £28?
0:21:29 > 0:21:31You have yourself a deal.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Guys, would you have predicted an hour ago
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- that you'd have this three as your offering?- Not even remotely.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Not even close, not even close.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Shall we go and have a tea and mull it over then?- Sounds like a plan.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- Come on.- OK. - That's job done, Blues.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49Nothing off your shopping list though.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51But with just under ten minutes left,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55the Reds could be about to tick another item off theirs.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Cath, I really like this. - Oh, yeah. Amazing.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Cos I think they're decanters. Maybe we need to check with John.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- I'll go and find him. - Go and get John.- John, John!
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- We've found something. - What have we got?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10- See these.- Are they decanters?- Yes, they are.- It's a set.- Yes, it is.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Do you know what it is? It's a tantalus.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15- Have you heard of a tantalus before? - No.- No.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Interesting story about Tantalus.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Tantalus was a mortal who angered the Greek gods
0:22:21 > 0:22:24by divulging their secrets to mortals
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and his punishment was everlasting thirst and hunger.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31So, every time he bent down to take a drink, the water would recede.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33If he reached up to pick fruit, the bough would raise,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- and this was his punishment.- OK.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39So, the whole point of this is the decanters are locked in here,
0:22:39 > 0:22:41- so you can't get at them.- Oh, no.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44And these were really to stop the servants from helping themselves
0:22:44 > 0:22:46to your favourite whiskey.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And so, from the word "Tantalus",
0:22:48 > 0:22:51we get the word "tantalise", so you can see it.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- So full of knowledge. - Well, sometimes.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But I think this is a good spot, girls.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01I just want to have a look and check those decanters over.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- That's the important thing. - I think they're really cute.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08- They're nicely done.- They're sweet. - No chips to them.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Stoppers fits nicely as well. They look like they match.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15And this is made of rosewood, which is quite nice.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I don't recall seeing many in rosewood.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19That one's got a broken stopper.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- That's the only thing there which is a shame.- That's a shame.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26But it's OK. It's not too sharp. It still fits the bottle.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30It's got £65 on it. What could we do on that?
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I'll do 50.
0:23:32 > 0:23:38- You'll do it for 50?- 50's OK.- So, girls, we've got three minutes left.
0:23:38 > 0:23:43- Oh, no.- So, we've got this at £50 or the Scottie dog up there.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Which do you like the most?- I would say this.- I like this as well.
0:23:46 > 0:23:49- Do you like this?- You agree, yeah? - Yeah.- Yeah.- I actually do.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53- I agree with you both. - Do you, John?- £50. Well done, girls.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- We've got our last item.- Amazing! - Well done.- Thanks, John.- Whoo!
0:23:56 > 0:23:58But we didn't get something Scottish.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03- Let's put whiskey in it and say it's Scottish.- Yeah. I think it might be.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- It's got Scottish content.- Yeah. - I'll drink to that. Come on, girls.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12Well done, Reds. So, with both teams finished, I'll call time.
0:24:12 > 0:24:13BELL RINGS
0:24:13 > 0:24:18That's it, teams, time's up. Let's check out what the Red team bought.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Amy and Catherine wanted to buy Scottish items and first up,
0:24:22 > 0:24:26the bought this Scottish Monart vase.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Next up, this oak barrel.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And finally, they said they like a wee dram,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36so they bought these two decanters.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- Girls, did you have a lovely time? - It was great, yeah. Really good fun.
0:24:42 > 0:24:48- You worked very well as a team. - Yeah.- I hope so.- No falling out.- No.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Amy, what was your favourite item?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52I think my favourite was probably the cask.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Right, is that the one that's going to make the most money?
0:24:55 > 0:24:57I don't know if it's going to make the most money
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- but it's definitely my favourite. - What's going to make the most money?
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- I think the Scottish glass cos it's a Scottish auction.- OK, OK.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Catherine, what's your favourite item?
0:25:06 > 0:25:08My favourite item is the same, it's the cask.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12And I also think the vase will make the most money, so we'll see.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15Oh, you two friends are in complete agreement
0:25:15 > 0:25:19and that's absolutely lovely. You spent £175.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- Yeah.- Not bad at all. Could I have £125, please?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Yeah, we've got it here. There you go.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28John, that's quite a lot of money.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Will you stay in theme and spend it on a Scottish item?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34You've seen through me, Anita, there.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37I think I'm going to try and stay Scottish, just what the girls want.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41While John goes off to, hopefully, buy yet another Scottish item,
0:25:41 > 0:25:44let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50First up, chef Martin bought this silver lamb leg holder.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56Will this writing box hold a profit to write home about?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00And, finally, will this clown bagatelle game
0:26:00 > 0:26:02bring a smile at the auction?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07- Boys, did you have a lovely time? - I had a great time.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09- It was fantastic, it really was. - It was great fun.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12You were so cool, calm and collected.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16- You got your first two times in 20 minutes.- We had good guidance.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Yes, absolutely. I agree. - How sweet, how sweet.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Martin, tell me, what was your favourite item?
0:26:22 > 0:26:26The game that we bought at the end. I really liked that.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28It was, I thought, quite out of the ordinary.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Is it going to make the most profit? - I think it'll make a good profit.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36- Mark, do you agree with your son? - Not even remotely.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40I think the best item we bought today was the writing desk.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Had a little bit of class and style to it
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and has the potential, I think, to fly.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- That's going to make the biggest profit?- In my view, yes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- So, a boy and his dad are not agreeing on this one.- No.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56But we'll find out at the auction who is right.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Remind me again what you spent. - £138.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Well, could I have £162, please? - Yes, you can.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Which I will pass immediately over to Paul.
0:27:06 > 0:27:13- You like spending. Is that enough for you?- I'll make do and mend.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Have you any idea what you're going to make do and mend with?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19No, but if spending this money was as easy
0:27:19 > 0:27:22as spending it on the first three purchases, it'll be a breeze.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27Well, Paul seems to think he's going to make it a breeze,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29but we're going off to the auction.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Today, I've been joined by auctioneer Dennis Clark
0:27:46 > 0:27:50at Shapes Auction House in Edinburgh. Hello, Dennis.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Hello, Anita.- It's lovely to be here.- It's lovely to see you.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Excellent, excellent. Well, straight on to the Reds.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Their first buy was this Monart vase.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Lovely blue one with gold aventurine.- It's a good size.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08It's a bit smaller than most. Nice shape and the colour's good.
0:28:08 > 0:28:11Two-tone blue and the gold inclusions as well.
0:28:11 > 0:28:12It also has a label to the base,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15although I'm not sure whether it's original to the vase or not.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- What's your estimate, Dennis? - £80 to £120.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22They paid £90 for it and they think that that's the one
0:28:22 > 0:28:25which will make them the most profit.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27There's every chance that may happen
0:28:27 > 0:28:30- and we could get top estimate for that.- Excellent, Dennis.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34Their second item was this big barrel here.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37Is this a modern one? Is it an old one?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40I think it's circa early 20th century,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42probably now used as a stick stand.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Condition-wise, you can see a couple of pieces of the wood
0:28:45 > 0:28:47starting to come out, but it should sell OK.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- What's your estimate?- £30 to £50.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54They paid £35, so there is the possibility of a profit there.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56That's not too bad, what they paid for it.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Moving on to their third item, the tantalus. What do you think of that?
0:29:00 > 0:29:04The good thing about this is its coromandel decoration to the side
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- which originates...- Exotic wood.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09And I think the decanters are in good condition as well.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Also has its key, which is very important.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Very, very important, Dennis.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16And the door at the front there pulls down.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18All the mechanisms are working,
0:29:18 > 0:29:20so it's in good condition, which really helps it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- What's your estimate?- £50 to £70.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- They paid £50.- Yeah, that's a good buy, and I'm hopeful for that.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29So, all in all, they seem to have done pretty well, Dennis.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Yes, I think they have. - They may not need their bonus buy,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Well, girls, you spent £175.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42You left John with £125.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47Now, John, you said you wanted to keep it Scottish. Have you?
0:29:47 > 0:29:51Well, I wanted to go Scottish, but I think I've ticked the boxes here...
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- GIRLS:- Ooh!- Nice!
0:29:54 > 0:29:57..with this Waterford crystal golfing figure.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I know Waterford is based in Ireland
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- but you've got some Irish blood in you, Amy, as I recall.- Yeah.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Well, Scotland is the home of golf, isn't it?- Mm-hmm.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- So, I thought I'd tick the boxes. - You've done well.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- £25 this cost me, and it's got its original box as well.- OK.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13How much do you think it'll go for?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I think it should be sort of £40, £50, maybe,
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- something like that.- It's not what we thought you'd come back with.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20We thought you'd come back with the Scottie dog.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yeah, definitely.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I nearly did, but I thought it was a little too obvious,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28so I wanted to surprise you, and make you happy.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Yeah, well, it goes with our love of sports.- Yeah, definitely.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Sport's in both our families and golf, especially,
0:30:34 > 0:30:35so that's fantastic.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38Well, let's hope it's a hole in one and not a bogey for me, shall we?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Girls, you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Wait until your other items have been sold.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47In the meantime, let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:30:47 > 0:30:50of John's Waterford crystal golfer.
0:30:51 > 0:30:57Well, John's bonus buy - Waterford crystal golfer.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59What do you think of that?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01A nice item. We're in the right area for golf.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04We're not far from Muirfield. It's in good condition.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Waterford crystal, Irish crystal, and I'm sure it'll do well.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- It's got everything going for it. - It has.- What's your estimate?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- £30 to £50. - Well, John only paid £25,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15so there could be a profit there.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- There could and should be a profit there for that.- Excellent.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22It's all looking pretty positive for the Reds. Now onto the Blues.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27Their first item was the silver-plated lamb leg holder.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29Who's going to use something like that?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32I don't know, Anita, is the answer. I'm not sure.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34It's a functionable item, though.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37The key works, so the top of it expands.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40It's a novelty piece and we'll have to see how it goes on the day.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43- What's your estimate, Dennis? - £20 to £30.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47- They paid £35 on it so there may be a problem there.- There could be.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50It's probably a touch too high for that, but I'm hopeful on the day.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54Next item is this Victorian papier-mache writing box.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- What do you think of it, Dennis? - I like it. It's a good example.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02A hand-painted floral panel to the centre. It's a good size.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05The gild into the corners, mother-of-pearl.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09The gilding is slightly fading to the edges there,
0:32:09 > 0:32:11but it's a good example.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Mm-hmm. Well, Martin thought it was going to make the most profit.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16- What's your estimate?- £70 to £100.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20They paid £75, so there's every chance that it will make a profit.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Yeah, there's every chance. I'm hopeful.- It's a good item.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24It is a very good item.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Now, their third item, which is totally different,
0:32:27 > 0:32:32is this vintage Clown-N-Up bagatelle board.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Yeah, I think it's a nice item. I've never saw it before.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36The lever at the bottom's fully functionable.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38I had a go at it earlier on. I had a wee play with it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41- You were playing with it. - I was, I was.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45- And all the ball bearing balls are there.- An American toy.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Yes, I believe so.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- What's your estimate?- £20 to £30.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Well, they paid £28 on it,
0:32:52 > 0:32:57- so there's still the chance of a wee profit.- There is, yes.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02Well, all in all, they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:33:02 > 0:33:05but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:33:06 > 0:33:11Boys you spent £138. You left Paul with £162.
0:33:11 > 0:33:13Paul, what did you buy?
0:33:13 > 0:33:17Guys, it's fair for me to say we've seen our fair share of bars,
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- have we not, in our lives? - Absolutely.- Yes.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I'll wager, however,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25you haven't seen one of those in such an establishment.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Oh, it's a... - I have not.- What is that?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30THEY LAUGH
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Do you know, when I saw it at the fair, that was MY reaction.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I'll be honest with you, I've never seen one before.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37But, back in Victorian Britain,
0:33:37 > 0:33:40if you needed a light for your big cigar
0:33:40 > 0:33:43and you've left your Vesta at home, you may have found,
0:33:43 > 0:33:50fixed to the bar, and plumbed into the gas, this cigar lighter.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52The gas comes out that little spout.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55There's a little pilot flame there, permanently flickering,
0:33:55 > 0:33:58for the convenience of you and I.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02- What did you pay for it? - What did you pay for it?- I paid £55.
0:34:02 > 0:34:08- These can make £140, £150. - Oh, I'm liking it more.- I LOVE that!
0:34:08 > 0:34:13- I like that a lot, actually. It's really strange and unusual.- It is.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15You don't need to make up your mind at the moment, boys.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19Wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20But in the meantime,
0:34:20 > 0:34:25let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Paul's bar lighter.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32Paul's bonus buy was this cigar lighter.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33It's for a bar.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37It is a smoking item. Smoking items are not popular.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41But this is an unusual piece. Are your buyers going to like that?
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Yes, I hope so, and it was popular, in Edinburgh,
0:34:44 > 0:34:48to have one of these in a bar, so I'm hopeful it'll do OK.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- So, there's a local connection. - Yes, I believe there is.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- What's your estimate?- £60 to £100.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Well, Paul only paid £55 for that.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- I think that's maybe a good buy. - That is a good buy, again,
0:35:00 > 0:35:03and I'm hopeful it'll at least be bottom estimate.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06Excellent! You're the man on the rostrum today?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- I am, Anita. - I'm looking forward to it.
0:35:11 > 0:35:1320, at the back of the hall. Standing at 20.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Any advance on 20 now? Going to sell to the room for 20.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21- Have you girls been to auction before?- No, this is our first one.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Is it your very first one?- Yeah. - It's very exciting.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28We've got a packed room here. The auctioneer's in fine voice.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30The people are bidding away.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Good luck, girls, because your Monart vase is coming up now.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37This is a Scottish Monart glass vase. This is a nice item now.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Two-tone blue and the gold inclusions. Who'll start me at £80?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42£80 on the Monart vase.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- 80 is bid.- Straight in at 80!
0:35:44 > 0:35:47Any advance on 80 now?
0:35:47 > 0:35:4985, fresh bidder. 90.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5195. 100.
0:35:51 > 0:35:52£100, girls!
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Are we all done at £100? All done?
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Wow! Plus £10.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02The second item was the coopered barrel.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06You paid £35 for it. It's the one you were a wee bit worried about.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08It's coming up now, girls, so good luck.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11It's the oak and metal-bound barrel or stick stand there.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Circa early 20th century. Who'll start me at £30? £30?
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Straight in at 30, in the room.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Any advance on 30 now? It's on 30.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21- Come on!- 35, fresh bidder.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25- 40.- Ooh!- Yes!
0:36:25 > 0:36:27£40. 45, online.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30- 50. 55, online.- Oh, yes!
0:36:30 > 0:36:32It's back in the room at 60, now.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34Fair warning. I'm selling for 60.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Yes!- £60!
0:36:36 > 0:36:38And that was the one you were worried about.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- We were. - That's plus £25 on that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45- Now, your third item is the coromandel tantalus.- Yep.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47Yep. You paid £50 for that.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- It's coming up now. - The coromandel two-bottle tantalus.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Who'll start me at £50 for a tantalus? Nice item there.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56- Who'll start me at 50? Let's get going now. Start me at £50.- Come on!
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- Go on.- I'll take 45 then. Let's get going.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01It's bid in the room now. 45 is bid.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06- Come on.- 50, fresh bidder. 55.- 55!
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- You're in profit!- Are we all done at 55? Fair warning. Selling for 55.
0:37:12 > 0:37:1555! So, that's plus 5.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- That's profit on all three times. - That's good!
0:37:18 > 0:37:24- And that takes you, overall, plus 40.- Chuffed with that.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Really, really chuffed. - Well done, girls.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32Now, you have to make a very important decision at this point.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35Are you going to go with John's bonus buy,
0:37:35 > 0:37:39the wonderful Waterford crystal golfer?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Yeah.- Let's go for it.- Yeah. - You're absolutely sure?- Yeah.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46- You're positively sure?- My dad's a golfer, so...- We're 99.4% sure.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48- Sure enough to go for it. - Sure enough to go for it.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49- You're both in agreement.- Yeah.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51You're going to go with the bonus buy.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Fingers crossed for the Waterford crystal.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- Coming up now. - There's a Waterford crystal figure
0:37:56 > 0:37:58of the golfer in full swing there. Who'll start me at £30?
0:37:58 > 0:38:01Let's get going now. I'll take 25 then.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03- 25 is bid in the room.- 25, yes.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- 25 now. 30, fresh bidder. - Yes!- Yes!- 35.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- JOHN:- Birdie.- AUCTIONEER:- 40. 45.
0:38:10 > 0:38:14- Oh!- Hole in one. - Are we all done at 50? I'm selling.
0:38:15 > 0:38:20- Yes!- Yes!- Wow!- Well done! - Thanks, John.- Oh, John, well done.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24You've given the girls another £25 profit,
0:38:24 > 0:38:26which takes their overall profit
0:38:26 > 0:38:32- to 65 lovely smackeroos.- So happy!
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Well done, girls. Look at their smiles, John.- I'm so happy.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- Thanks, John.- Thank you.- Well done. But calm down, girls, calm down.- OK.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42And don't say a word to the Blues.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Here we are, guys. Auction day.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- I know! I'm so excited.- Are you?
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- Are you? Are you confident? - Yes, actually, yes.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Is there anything you're a wee bit worried about?
0:38:59 > 0:39:05I think if anything will let us down it's the meat holder.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- The manche a gigot, yeah.- Good luck, boys, because it's coming up now.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Oh, right.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13This is a vintage silver-plated lamb leg holder there.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Who'll start me at £20? £20 for the lamb leg holder there?
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Who'll start me at 20?
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- Novelty piece. I'll take 15 then. - 15 in, 15 in.
0:39:22 > 0:39:2420, fresh bidder.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- £20, seated in the room now. - PAUL:- Come on, keep it going.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- I'll sell to the room for 20.- More! - And selling.
0:39:32 > 0:39:35- Oh!- £20. Hard luck, boys.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- We'll just have to make up on the next two times.- Love your optimism.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Well, £20, so that's minus £15.
0:39:41 > 0:39:47Your next item is that gorgeous Victorian papier-mache writing desk.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Good luck, boys. Coming up now.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Victorian papier-mache and mother-of-pearl writing slope.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55- Who'll start me at 70?- Come on!
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- I'll take 65 then. 50. - It's not going.
0:39:59 > 0:40:01Let's get going. Surely worth that. Who wants it for 40?
0:40:01 > 0:40:06- It's bid at the back of the hall. £40 is bid.- It's a start.- Bargain!
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Any advance on 40? I'm selling for 40.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- Oh!- Oh!- I think you were a wee bit unlucky there. £40.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18That's minus £35 on that item,
0:40:18 > 0:40:22which takes your overall score to minus £50,
0:40:22 > 0:40:24after your first two items.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27A vintage Clown-N-Up bagatelle there. A novelty piece.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Who'll start me at £20? Who'll start me at 20? Let's get going here.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34- Who wants it for 15? - Come on!- 15, fresh bidder.
0:40:34 > 0:40:38Seated at the back of the hall at 15. Any advance?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40- 20, fresh bidder now.- 20. We're creeping up.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- PAUL:- Keep going. - AUCTIONEER:- 25 online.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- Online now at 25.- Give us one profit!- 25. Selling for 25.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52- 25...- OK, this has been great!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55You were nearly there on the last one.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57At least we were committed to making a loss.
