0:00:02 > 0:00:05Ah! There you are, Bargain Hunters.
0:00:05 > 0:00:07Any idea where we are today?
0:00:07 > 0:00:10Let's examine the evidence.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Clue number one -
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle came from here.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Clue number two -
0:00:17 > 0:00:20this was the first city in the world to have its own fire service.
0:00:20 > 0:00:25Clue number three - the inventor of the telephone was born here.
0:00:25 > 0:00:26Have you got it yet?
0:00:26 > 0:00:29We are, of course in my homeland, Scotland,
0:00:29 > 0:00:33at an antiques fair at the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35So what are we waiting for?
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:05 > 0:01:08And there's plenty for the Reds and Blues to choose from,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11as there are over 200 stalls here.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Should be a doddle to spend £300 on three items.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19There's a snag, though. They have to do it in one hour.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Here's a clue to what's coming up...
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Reds get confused over the price...
0:01:27 > 0:01:30- If we got a wee bit off that, I think...- A big bit?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- A big bit.- A wee bit or a big bit?
0:01:33 > 0:01:34THEY LAUGH
0:01:34 > 0:01:37The Blues really feel the pressure...
0:01:37 > 0:01:42I've had job interviews far less stressful than today's been!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- At the auction, the Reds are feeling confident.- 30...
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Are you feeling...? - Oh, I'm excited to go and make wads of cash.- Oh!
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Ten, fresh bidder.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54..and the Blues are jumping for joy.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59But that's all for later.
0:01:59 > 0:02:00Let's meet today's teams.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It's very much a family affair.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06For the Reds, we have Dorothy and her son Graham.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And for the Blues, we have Barbara and her daughter Catrina.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Welcome, everyone - and hello.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Hello! - How lovely to have you here.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- Now, Dorothy...- Yes.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19..why have you chosen your son as your team-mate?
0:02:19 > 0:02:21One day, Graham just happened to be
0:02:21 > 0:02:24popping his son in for me to babysit,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26and Bargain Hunt was on, and I said, "Oh,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29"I would love to try and be on Bargain Hunt, it looks so much fun.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32"But I don't know who I'd have as my team-mate",
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and he just jumped in and said, "Oh, I would do it with you. It looks fun."
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- So, no backing out now. - There is no backing out now!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Now, you've looked after your family for many years.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- Yes.- What do you do in your spare time?
0:02:43 > 0:02:45I've taken up swimming.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47I went for swimming lessons to be able to swim properly.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Cos I was obviously able to do the doggy paddle before...
0:02:50 > 0:02:51ANITA LAUGHS
0:02:51 > 0:02:54..and thought I would like to swim properly, up and down,
0:02:54 > 0:02:56do my lengths and get fit.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So you're quite a sporty person, then?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I used to be when I was young, but I've always wanted to do skydiving.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- Skydiving?- It was on my list to do before I was 50,
0:03:06 > 0:03:09but I didn't get round to doing it at that point,
0:03:09 > 0:03:11so as I'm approaching 60 now, I thought,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13it's on my list to do before I'm 60.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Graham, you're a manager at a local supermarket,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18but what do you do to relax?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Yeah. I'm a huge Formula 1 fan,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23so I spend a lot of time watching the races.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I've been watching it for, oh, 25 years.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- A fanatic?- A fanatic, yeah.
0:03:29 > 0:03:30What do you collect, Graham?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Lots of Formula 1 memorabilia.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So I've got over 400 models, helmets...
0:03:35 > 0:03:38So, sometimes when the racing is on, I'll sit with a helmet
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- and watch the telly. - LAUGHTER
0:03:40 > 0:03:43Get in the zone.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45- So...- What does your wife think about that?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48- Yeah... - LAUGHTER
0:03:48 > 0:03:50She's not hugely impressed with it.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53So, what are your tactics going to be?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55You think, sort of spend fairly moderately, but...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I'm here to take a bit of a gamble, I think. Try and...
0:03:58 > 0:04:00All right.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01We're aiming to win.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03You want to win.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- They want to win.- I would really like to get the golden gavel.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08You would like to get the golden gavel.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10It's got my name engraved on it already.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11LAUGHTER
0:04:11 > 0:04:13That's it for the Reds.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Now over to the Blues, Barbara and Catrina.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Barbara, why have you chosen your daughter Catrina
0:04:19 > 0:04:21to be your team-mate?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Well, she's a fun person to be with, actually.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25And we're always looking for something different to do.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I've noticed that Bargain Hunt were looking for people from Scotland.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31I thought that would be a great thing to do with Catrina.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33And were you keen, Catrina?
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Oh, yes. Straight away... - Ah, yes! She's right in. - I was really keen to come on.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38And although we're quite different, we are really close,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41so we really enjoy spending time together,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43doing different things. So we're looking forward to it.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Barbara, you're a primary teacher in Aberdeenshire?- I am, yes.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Yes.- Do you enjoy that? - I do enjoy that, I do.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53The job's so interesting. Every day is different, every class is different.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- Keeps you young.- Keeps me on my toes!- I believe that Catrina
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- was your pupil at one time?- Yes!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Now, how did you both feel about that?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05We had a great big class, actually.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- So it was easy to miss me in the class!- Was it?
0:05:08 > 0:05:12But I think every pupil has a point where they accidentally call their
0:05:12 > 0:05:15teacher Mum, so obviously that was much more difficult for me
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- than most pupils. - THEY LAUGH
0:05:18 > 0:05:20But you're living in Glasgow now.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22- Are you enjoying it? - Oh, I love Glasgow, yes.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26I moved to Glasgow about six years ago for uni and I just fell in love
0:05:26 > 0:05:28- with the city.- What sort of work do you do?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31So, I studied as a dispensing optician.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Now I work in a really lovely independent opticians.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36We have really specialist frame brands
0:05:36 > 0:05:40and we can make custom-made horn frames, platinum,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42gold with diamonds and everything.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- So really happy with where I've ended up with my work.- Ooh, yeah.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48- Yeah.- What do you know about antiques and collectables?
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I think that might be our downfall!
0:05:50 > 0:05:51THEY LAUGH
0:05:51 > 0:05:54We don't know too much about antiques.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55I think Mum's going to be...
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- She's quite slow and dawdles a wee bit...- Oh!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00..and takes time with decisions.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03- But then, I jump into things without thinking...- Oh, right.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05So you'll balance out one another.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08I'll speed her up, she'll slow me down.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11But in order to have that fun, you need some money.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14£300 for the Reds... LAUGHTER
0:06:14 > 0:06:18- Ah...- ..and £300 for the Blues. - Thank you.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Your experts await, so off you go.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Thank you! - ANITA LAUGHS
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Happy families, but which family will come out on top?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33All our teams need now are some experts.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37In tune with the Reds, it's John Cameron.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45And it's intrepid Bargain Hunter Paul Laidlaw with the Blues.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47What are we going to be buying today?
0:06:47 > 0:06:50Something motor sport-related, maybe a model car of some sort?
0:06:50 > 0:06:52That's so predictable.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56I'm looking for something small and attractive, I think.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- How about you, Mum? - Maybe something sparkly.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Is that predictable, as well?
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- Mum?- And something useful?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Time to swing into action, teams.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Your time starts now. WHISTLE
0:07:07 > 0:07:09- Let's go Bargain Hunting.- Yay.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Come on! - CATRINA LAUGHS
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Go and spend some money, teams.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19We're now on the clock, guys, all right?
0:07:19 > 0:07:2260 minutes and counting.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Where's the best stuff?
0:07:25 > 0:07:29What are you asking me for? I've no idea!
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Well, you are the expert, Paul.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Reds, will this collection of silver matchstick holders
0:07:36 > 0:07:38spark any interest?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- That's quite nice. - That's novel.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43That would have a crossover of appeal as well,
0:07:43 > 0:07:46because you're going to have the vesta collector,
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- that will be interested and a militaria.- Yes...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Could we have a look at that? - DEALER:- Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- There you go.- Thank you.- Do you know where the word "vesta" comes from?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58- It's the god of hearth, I think it is, the vesta.- OK.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00It's sterling silver, it's marked there,
0:08:00 > 0:08:03so it doesn't have British hallmarks. It's been imported.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Possibly American.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06I think that's a nice thing.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08- I do like that.- All right.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12£75 is the asking price, which, to a collector,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I don't think that's a lot of money. But we've got to take this to auction, haven't we?
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- And make a profit.- Yeah. Shall we ask the price of it?- Yeah.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21It's got 75 quid on it.
0:08:22 > 0:08:23How much cheaper could we do?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- It's quite...- Feeling generous now.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Yeah.- I'm thinking....
0:08:28 > 0:08:3075 for it. I'll give it to you for 60.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34- It's got a chance at 60, you know. - At 60?- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36I do think. You're not convinced, Mum, are you?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38I think it's a wee bit expensive at 60.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I feel quite happy to go with that. I think it's nice, I like it.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44It's, er, shiny.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46I like it shiny.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- DEALER:- I'll take a pound off just in case it doesnae sell too well.
0:08:49 > 0:08:50Oh...
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- THEY TALK OVER EACH OTHER - Oh! What a gentleman. £59.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58- We've got ourselves our first purchase.- I think so, yes. - Well done.- Thank you very much.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03The speedy Reds have their first item in just five minutes.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Now, Barbara, you wanted something useful.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08How about this at £25?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10That'll be too expensive.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Are you sure?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Because they're not what they once were.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- But that looks handsome enough, so we'll have a look. - I thought it was quite handsome.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- OK. Right.- And useful.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Looks quite modern, though, doesn't it?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Because it's pin sharp, condition-wise.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26But it'll be 140 year old, probably.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- It's Victorian.- Mm.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31- Do people buy those? - Not like they once did.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33BARBARA LAUGHS
0:09:33 > 0:09:36He couldnae afford that block of cheese, for goodness' sake.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38It would cost you more than the object!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43So that's our dome and that's our base.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45No clues whatsoever.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47But that's an honest...
0:09:47 > 0:09:52late 19th-century piece, earthenware, in a...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56an Imari palette, iron reds, a bit of gilding and so on.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Would you have that at home?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- I don't think I would have that at all.- You're doing it on purpose.- No.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Why am I not surprised? - THEY LAUGH
0:10:03 > 0:10:07In this day and age, in your centrally-heated house,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09it's going to reek in no time.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11With that filled with sweating cheese...
0:10:11 > 0:10:12THEY LAUGH
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- But in your farmhouse kitchen, it looks just the ticket.- Yeah.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Have we decided against this?
0:10:19 > 0:10:21- Yes.- I think so.- Come on, then. - CATRINA LAUGHS
0:10:21 > 0:10:25In these modern times, perhaps it's not useful enough.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Reds, is it still full steam ahead?
0:10:31 > 0:10:33A bit of railway-ana there.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35My grandfather worked on the railways.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Really?- Yeah. It's unusual, but I'm not sure...
0:10:38 > 0:10:42There are a lot of railway-ana collectors. It is a strong area.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Maybe you wouldn't think so, but a lot of people,
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- a lot of guys have these scale model steam in their gardens... - Yes, I know...
0:10:47 > 0:10:52..and they like to have authentic items to decorate around.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Right, well... - Just an interesting thing.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Will we see how much that one is? - You stay here and I'll go and ask.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Off you pop, John.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Not quite sure what it's for,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02but you could imagine somebody having that in their house,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- just as an ornament.- Well, I don't think we'll be buying it.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Is it...?- It's £250.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- Ah.- That doesn't surprise me.
0:11:10 > 0:11:12As I say, I've never seen one.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14And it is the sort of thing that
0:11:14 > 0:11:17in a real specialist railway-ana auction would do very,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19very well. So not one for us.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20- No, OK.- But an interesting thing.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27It is, John. But £250 could derail any hopes of a golden gavel.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Move on, Reds. Blues, where are you up to?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Is there anything that you like?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- I like the blue.- You...
0:11:34 > 0:11:35Carlton Ware?
0:11:37 > 0:11:411930s Carlton Ware, from their Best Wares range.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Look... Wiltshaw & Robinson,
0:11:44 > 0:11:47which is the genesis of the Carlton Ware brand.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49£235.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- Won't like it so much now. - CATRINA LAUGHS
0:11:51 > 0:11:52A cracking thing.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Sadly, not for us. Thank you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Onwards.- Yes.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Yes, onwards and upwards and maybe find some cheaper items, teams.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02We may have found something.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04I have seen a box, but I don't know if there's anything in it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- What's that?- See that? Is that a fisherman's...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- That's sweet, isn't it? - So, what is that?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Now that, I like.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13It's Huntley & Palmers.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I like it. It's novel.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- Yeah...- And novelty biscuit tins are what sell.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You know, it's modelled on an old fishing basket.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Basket, yeah...- It's a fly fisherman's basket.- Right.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25And it's OK with a little bit of scuff?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It is a little bit scratched, but one would expect that.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30You know, it's probably 100 years old.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33This will be dating to probably the 1920s, or something like that.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35We've got £70 on there.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Mm. That's too, too expensive.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- I think if we got a wee bit off that...- A big bit.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- JOHN LAUGHS - A big bit. A big bit off it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- You're thinking a wee bit. Mum's saying big bit.- Big bit... - A wee bit and a big bit.
0:12:46 > 0:12:47How much is a big bit?
0:12:47 > 0:12:53Well, I think if we started at 50 and then see how it goes from there?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54That would be a good price.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57What's the very best you can do on this?
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Death would be 55.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00That's the death, is it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- That's the absolute death? - That's the death.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05- Can we get some biscuits in it? - THEY LAUGH
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- I think it's worth a punt. - I think so.
0:13:07 > 0:13:0955, yep. I'm happy with that.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- You're happy? Right.- £55, then. We've got ourselves a deal.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- DOROTHY:- OK, then.- Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18Well done, Reds. That's item number two
0:13:18 > 0:13:20with just under 25 minutes on the clock.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Blues, you need to buy something!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25So as the teams carry on with their shopping,
0:13:25 > 0:13:28I'm going to find out about some Scottish collectables.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I've dragged Tony across from his stall
0:13:38 > 0:13:42and he's brought across some of the collection of Mauchline Ware
0:13:42 > 0:13:46that he has - and it's absolutely wonderful.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Tell me, what is Mauchline Ware?
0:13:48 > 0:13:54Mauchline Ware is a term used for a group of Scottish treen,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57produced from around 1780,
0:13:57 > 0:14:01through to 1935-36 period.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04Now, why is it called Mauchline Ware?
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Mauchline, a small village in Ayrshire,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10is where it was predominantly made.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14Prior to that, it was actually known as Scottish Fancy Ware.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- Scottish Fancy Ware? I love it. - Exactly.- Yeah.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- We're more familiar with souvenir ware.- Yeah...
0:14:21 > 0:14:22But originally they made...
0:14:22 > 0:14:26The workshop in Aberdeen produced personal items,
0:14:26 > 0:14:28things like snuff boxes,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32sewing boxes, crochet sets, they even made brooches.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35- And the souvenir ware came later. - Ah-ha.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Snuff was a way of taking tobacco in the 18th century.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43What was so important about these snuff boxes?
0:14:43 > 0:14:48There was a chap called James Sandy who lived in Alyth in Perthshire.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50He managed to design a hinge
0:14:50 > 0:14:53that allowed the snuff box to be sealed
0:14:53 > 0:14:56without any moisture getting in.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58And this is the secret hinge there.
0:14:58 > 0:14:59So this was very important,
0:14:59 > 0:15:03because that was the first time it allowed the snuff
0:15:03 > 0:15:06to remain dry at all times.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Once the snuff boxes went out of fashion,
0:15:09 > 0:15:12then the major box works appeared.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15And the boxes were given pen and work decoration.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17So these are all hand-done?
0:15:17 > 0:15:19These are all hand-done.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22This one's got a scene from Ury House on the lid.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26And the family that lived in Ury House, the crest is in the front.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29So therefore, that's been made bespoke
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- for the people in that property. - Yeah.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33We're going from this bespoke piece,
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- which was made in the north-east...- Yes.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39..and we're coming down here to the souvenir ware,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- which was made in Mauchline.- Yeah.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45And this is what our bargain hunters will also be familiar with,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48this wonderful honey-coloured sycamore.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Yes, certainly. you had objects like tea caddies,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54made of sycamore wood, and game boards,
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- brooches and bangles and bracelets for people.- Ah-ha.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59Tony, in Bargain Hunt,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01we always want to know what something's worth.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02THEY LAUGH
0:16:02 > 0:16:06And I know that we've got the high-end here.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10- A magnificent box like that...- Yeah. - ..what would that be worth?
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Unfortunately, that is worth £7,000.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15£7,000.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20And at the other end, you've got what is called photographic ware.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24You can find a piece of photographic ware for as little as £10.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Tony, thank you for showing me your collection.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I wonder if our teams will bag any Mauchline Ware today.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Back to it. We're just over halfway through,
0:16:40 > 0:16:45the Reds have been motoring with two items bought and £114 spent.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50The Blues, on the other hand, are struggling
0:16:50 > 0:16:52and they've not spent a jot!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54Way beyond our reach, I have no doubt.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I would put them down. - THEY LAUGH
0:16:59 > 0:17:02Paul seems determined for a profit, Blues.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Reds, any ideas for item number three?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- John?- John.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10- Oh...- We've seen a little table over here.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Who spotted this?- Well, I did.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15- You again.- I don't think it's very old.
0:17:15 > 0:17:16But it caught my eye.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Look, do you know what? It doesn't always have to have the age, you see.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22It's got the look. This look is current.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- Let's have a look underneath. - Is it quite stable? - Let's have a look.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27- Yeah, it's got good... - INDISTINCT
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- Hello. It's OK.- It's pretty good.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31I think that's quite nice, I do like that.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34If I'm honest, if I saw that, I would... No, I would buy it.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36I like things like this, personally.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- What do you think, Graham?- I'm just more concerned that it would
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- actually sell at auction, to be honest.- Yeah.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- I do like it.- Yeah.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- But how much will we get it for? - It's got £75 on it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- I think that's too much. - Yeah?
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Excuse me, your little table here. What's the best price you can do?
0:17:53 > 0:17:55It's got £75 on it.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59- 70.- Is that really the best? A fiver?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- 68.- 68! She's tough, isn't she?
0:18:02 > 0:18:03- She's tough.- Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I know you've got to make a profit, is that really the best you can do?
0:18:06 > 0:18:0765, OK?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- 65.- What do you reckon?
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Well, personally, I would buy it because I like it.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15You know?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17And again, I like this sort of thing.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Anything hunting related, I like.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21It's got the look. But it's your decision.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Could we leave it just now, think about it?
0:18:23 > 0:18:25You've got a little bit of time left.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Let's think about it but keep looking.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Come on.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31The Reds might have their eyes on a golden gavel,
0:18:31 > 0:18:33but it would be nice if the Blues spotted something
0:18:33 > 0:18:34they wanted to buy.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Not wanting to panic anyone, but I would panic.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40How about this inkwell, Blues?
0:18:40 > 0:18:41- Do you like?- I like that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43OK.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Late 19th century, could be continental.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49People aren't buying them like they did, and it's brass and, and, and...
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Show me a parade, I will rain on it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53That is what I am doing today.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57You certainly are, Paul.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58That's a better one.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Yeah!- I suspect that will be Germanic in origin.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02Is it WMF? It's WMF.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- It's marked on the base. - Let's have a wee look, yeah?
0:19:05 > 0:19:06A little well, there.
0:19:07 > 0:19:09And can't argue with that.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12In their day, the biggest manufacturer of art,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14metalwork in Europe,
0:19:14 > 0:19:16that's fair comment, isn't it?
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Yes.- Your inspiration here is from the Vienna secession.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25The Vienna secession was an art movement formed in 1897.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26I love it.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Really like that. - It's gorgeous!
0:19:28 > 0:19:29By any measure.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32How much would you be looking for for that?
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- £50.- And that's the best price you can do?
0:19:34 > 0:19:36That's the best price.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Don't deliberate over £50 for too long, Louise.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42You only have 20 minutes left to buy three items.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Reds, what's next?
0:19:44 > 0:19:46So, the table, are we going to go back?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I think we'll go back and see the table again.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We can try and get it down a little bit.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51- Yeah.- Maybe 60?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- Do you think that would... - We'll try.- We'll try. Try 60.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57You might have your work cut out.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Blues, are you still deliberating?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02We like the WMF ink stand dish.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Is there anything else talking to us?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06I quite like that mirror.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Celtic influenced Arts and Crafts work.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11That's our Scottish item, yes.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16OK. The world is full of Arts and Crafts metalwork
0:20:16 > 0:20:21that in my opinion is no more than O-level metalwork.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- What about that one? - I was going to ask you.
0:20:23 > 0:20:24It looks good to me.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I'd be quite happy to hang it up on my wall.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29And you should do because it's lovely.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32That is true craftsmanship.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You can see a lot of work went into that, can't you?
0:20:35 > 0:20:40- Yeah.- Arts and Crafts is the combination of the hand and the eye.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43It's the artistry, and the artisanship,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45the technique, you get both there.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49- It's working.- So it's completely unique, bespoke?
0:20:49 > 0:20:50No, there's tonnes like that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52LAUGHTER
0:20:52 > 0:20:54No, but each one is different because it was handmade.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Yes! Yes.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58So what's the price?
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Best I can do on the mirror would be 140.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- 140.- And 50 for the desk set.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07And I can do 50 for that, so that's 180 for the two.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10Could you do 49 and...
0:21:10 > 0:21:1149?!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13And 139?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- Oh, my goodness!- Please?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18If someone can add it up for me, yeah.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20LAUGHTER
0:21:20 > 0:21:22So it would be 188.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- Well done, yes.- For the pair. - Yeah, go on, I'll do that for you.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Yes! Thank you.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Just wanted to haggle!
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Finally in 45 minutes, it's a double whammy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36£49 for the inkwell, and £139 for the mirror.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Come on, we've only 15 minutes!
0:21:39 > 0:21:41All of a sudden, it's two all.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Now, Reds, remember you wanted a golden gavel?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49I still can't get these guys to make up their minds.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Would you do £60 on this?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- OK, but I'll have to get the bus home.- Oh!- We like you.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58£60. Thank you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00Only because you're wearing red.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02That's my favourite colour.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03We'll take that, we'll take that.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Thank you very much. We've got our third and final item!
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- Yay!- Good.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12Now, Dorothy, this was your choice, wasn't it?
0:22:12 > 0:22:13- Yes.- Are you pleased with it?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Yes, I'm delighted.- Oh, that's great, cos you get to carry it.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Come on, let's go.- Come on.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Well done, Reds. Job done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26Ten minutes left, Blues, to get your final item sewn up.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28And what's the threads?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31That's just a wee... I think that would just be for a wee thread box.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- See, look.- Oh, yeah.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Actually, that's good fun. Is that inexpensive?
0:22:38 > 0:22:3912.75.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Could you do maybe like £9, £8?
0:22:44 > 0:22:45- Eight.- Eight.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48- Could we have... - What do you think of that?
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Well, I quite like it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55My granny used to work in the coats factory, in Paisley,
0:22:55 > 0:22:58so that's kind of what drew me to that.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59- Good.- You sew, though.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Yeah, I sew.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03I do a bit of embroidery from time to time.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I'm quite taken by that.
0:23:05 > 0:23:10Because, in my experience, sewing related material sells well enough.
0:23:10 > 0:23:11- Yes?- That's fine.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I think it will go well.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Shall we shake hands on it?
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18Well done, Blues.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20You got there in the end.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22So, with everyone finished, let's call time.
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Hold your horses, teams.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Time's up.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29One way or another, at least we've got three items.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30LAUGHTER
0:23:30 > 0:23:34You've got one minute spare, but three items, what was that like?
0:23:34 > 0:23:35How did that happen?
0:23:35 > 0:23:40I have had job interviews far less stressful than today has been!
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Let's check out what the red team bought.
0:23:44 > 0:23:45Mother and son didn't hang about.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50Within five minutes, they brought this vesta case for £59.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Next up, they negotiated £15 off the asking price of this biscuit barrel,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and paid £55.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03And finally, item number three was the silver table
0:24:03 > 0:24:05which they bought for £60.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10Dorothy and Graham, how did you get on, folks?
0:24:10 > 0:24:12- Fine, thank you.- You enjoyed it?
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- We had a great time.- It's not as easy as it looks, though.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19No, it's not. An hour's not a long time.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Dorothy, what's your favourite item?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It was our small silver effect lamp table.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- You fell in love with it? - Yes, I did.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27Is it going to make the most amount of money?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31- I don't think so.- So, what is going to make the most profit?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35An old biscuit tin, that John advised us was best.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Good advice, here. Graham, what was your favourite item?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I would say the biscuit tin as well.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42I think we could possibly double our money with that.
0:24:42 > 0:24:43It's your favourite,
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and you also think that it's going to make the most profit?
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Yeah, I think so. I think we're onto a winner with that one.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Well, you spent £174.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Could I have 126, please?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56John, not a bad amount.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Have you something in mind?
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Well, possibly something for the petrolhead here,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03or something shiny for Mum.
0:25:03 > 0:25:04Not sure yet!
0:25:04 > 0:25:07While John goes off to fetch his bonus buy,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09let's have a look at what the Blues bought.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14After much deliberating, and 45 minutes on the clock,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18they brought this silver WMF inkwell for £49...
0:25:19 > 0:25:23..swiftly followed by this Arts and Crafts oval mirror
0:25:23 > 0:25:25which they bought for £139.
0:25:27 > 0:25:32And finally, they bought this wee ceramic cotton reel for just £8.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37- Well, girls, you're both still smiling.- Still alive!
0:25:37 > 0:25:40It took a wee while for you to get into gear...
0:25:40 > 0:25:42LAUGHTER
0:25:42 > 0:25:44..and then you left everything to the last minute!
0:25:44 > 0:25:45LAUGHTER
0:25:45 > 0:25:47But did you have fun?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50It was good fun. Got our hearts pumping.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Excellent. Catrina, what was your favourite item?
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I think it's going to be the ceramic bobbin pot.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57I thought that was a really sweet item.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00We just managed to get in at the end, there.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Is that the item that's going to make the most money, though?
0:26:03 > 0:26:05I hope it will be the inkwell.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06That was.. I really liked that.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Barbara, what's your favourite item?
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I like the Arts and Crafts mirror.
0:26:12 > 0:26:13It was pretty.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15I could see it hanging up on somebody's wall.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Do you think that it will make the most profit?
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I'm not sure.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21I think we cannae go far wrong with the bobbin pot.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23Remind me what you spent.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It was 196.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Could I have 104, please?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30That's lovely, thank you very much,
0:26:30 > 0:26:33and I will hand that straight over to Paul Laidlaw.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- Thank you.- Paul, any ideas what you're going to buy with it?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Look, didn't we say small and pretty at the off?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- We did say that.- Well, we did small.
0:26:41 > 0:26:42I don't know that we did pretty enough,
0:26:42 > 0:26:44so that's what I'm looking for.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48While pretty Paul goes off to buy something pretty,
0:26:48 > 0:26:49we'll go off to the auction.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Today, we're in Shapes auctioneers in Edinburgh,
0:27:02 > 0:27:04with auctioneer Dennis Clark. Hello, Dennis.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Hello, Anita.- Well, Reds first.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10Dorothy and Graham fancied this vesta case.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15Now, we see hundreds of these in auctions and in our fairs.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Is there anything special about this one?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21I think the attraction with this one would be the military motif,
0:27:21 > 0:27:23so it'll attract the military buyers.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25What's your estimate?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- 40-60. - 40-60.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30They've paid £59 for it, Dennis.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Yes, towards top estimate, but it has a chance.
0:27:32 > 0:27:38Now, the second item is this Huntley and Palmer biscuit tin.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40What do you think of it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Yeah, I like this item, novelty biscuit tin.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Model is a fishing creel,
0:27:44 > 0:27:46and I think Huntley and Palmer were the first company
0:27:46 > 0:27:49to market biscuits in this way,
0:27:49 > 0:27:51and they were hopeful on the day.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52What's your estimate on this one?
0:27:52 > 0:27:5430-50.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57Well, they paid 55. Is that a bit too much for this?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- It could be, but I'm hopeful that we might get close to that.- Yeah.
0:28:00 > 0:28:06Now, their third item is this contemporary silver-plated
0:28:06 > 0:28:10wine table with this absurd base.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12LAUGHTER
0:28:12 > 0:28:14Silver-plated antlers.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I mean, it's got something about it.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20- What do you think?- Yes, I think that will appeal to the modern person.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21It's in fairly good condition,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23contemporary piece.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24What's your estimate?
0:28:24 > 0:28:2530-50.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Dennis, they've paid £60.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28That's a bit deer, Anita!
0:28:28 > 0:28:30LAUGHTER
0:28:30 > 0:28:34So it looks like they may need their bonus buy today,
0:28:34 > 0:28:35so let's go and have a look at it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Dorothy, Graham, you spent £174.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43You gave John 126.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45John, what did you buy?
0:28:45 > 0:28:49I've bought this rather charming Bakelite desk pen holder
0:28:49 > 0:28:51with a little Scottie dog on it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53Dorothy looks terribly disappointed already.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Graham, get me out of this one.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58- What do you think?- Yeah...
0:28:58 > 0:28:59No.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01LAUGHTER
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- I'm not so sure.- No, I'm not so keen on that.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05The reason I bought this,
0:29:05 > 0:29:08for me it's got three different types of buyer potential crossover.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11It's Bakelite, people collect Bakelite,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14it's a desk pen holder, people collect vintage writing equipment,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16and it's got this wonderful little Scottie dog there as well,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19so when I'm looking at items to go in to auction, make a profit,
0:29:19 > 0:29:21I'm trying to find things that will appeal to the broadest type
0:29:21 > 0:29:23- of collectors.- How much?
0:29:23 > 0:29:24£28.
0:29:24 > 0:29:25- 28?- It's not a lot of money,
0:29:25 > 0:29:28but I still think it's quite a lot when it should have a pen.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Most pens would fit in there, that's the thing.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32It tapers so a pen will stick in there.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- All right, OK. - You think it will make much?
0:29:34 > 0:29:37I think it'll make more than £28, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it.
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Not £29?
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- That's still a profit, isn't it? - Yeah, I'd take that.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43You don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Wait until your other items have been sold.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- OK.- In the meantime,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50let's find out what the auctioneer thinks
0:29:50 > 0:29:53about John's lovely Bakelite pen holder.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Well, John bought this.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59Bit of fun.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01The Bakelite pen holder.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03What do you think, Denis?
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Art Deco piece.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06It looks in good condition.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09The pen holder reminds me of the HMV motif there.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- Yes.- So that's attracting other buyers as well.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14What's your estimate on that?
0:30:14 > 0:30:1530-50.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17They only paid 28.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Great, well, that's a good buy.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22So that's our Red team, now onto our Blue team.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27Their first item is this WMF ink stand.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Very stylish.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30What do you think?
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Yeah, it's a stylish piece,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33and WMF, very well known.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Circa 1890s, I would say, looking at that piece.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Will your buyers like that type of thing?
0:30:39 > 0:30:42I think that will appeal to mainly young buyers who'll go for that.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44What's your estimate?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- 40-60.- 40-60.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Well, they paid 49, so there is the chance of a profit.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52Yes, there is, that's not a bad price for that.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Good. Now, their second item,
0:30:55 > 0:31:01and a favourite item of mine is this wonderful Arts and Crafts mirror.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04The West Coast folks love this.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08Will the East Coast folks love it just as much?
0:31:08 > 0:31:09Well, I hope so, Anita.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12They sell fairly well through the East Coast as well.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Nice repousse work decoration to it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16What's your estimate on that?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18100-150.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Yes, well, they paid 139, so there is a chance of a profit there.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Yes, I think there's more chance
0:31:24 > 0:31:25of getting towards top estimate on this.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Excellent.
0:31:27 > 0:31:32Their third item is a little ceramic cotton reel container
0:31:32 > 0:31:34in the form of a bobbin.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35What do you think of that?
0:31:35 > 0:31:38Quirky piece, novelty,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40and I don't think it will make a great deal,
0:31:40 > 0:31:41but we'll see how we go.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46There's not much to it, but sewing has had a wee bit of a revival.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Yes, I'm led to believe,
0:31:47 > 0:31:49but I'm not speaking from personal experience there.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51SHE CHUCKLES
0:31:51 > 0:31:52What's your estimate?
0:31:52 > 0:31:53My estimate is £3-5.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55Well, she did pay £8,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58so they may or may not need their bonus buy,
0:31:58 > 0:32:00but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Catrina, Barbara, lovely to see you again, and I love the hairstyle!
0:32:06 > 0:32:07It's very glamorous.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Yeah, supporting the Blue team.- Yes!
0:32:10 > 0:32:11LAUGHTER
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Now, you left Paul £104.
0:32:14 > 0:32:15Paul, what did you buy?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18What do you think of that?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20ALL: Oh!
0:32:20 > 0:32:25- It's beautiful.- Edwardian England, we're going out to the dinner dance,
0:32:25 > 0:32:28OK? And it ain't down the village hall either,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30this is in the big house.
0:32:30 > 0:32:31And what do we take?
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Our little silver ring purse.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37There you go, how easy is that?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- How practical.- I know.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42I was looking for something useful.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47Press this little button here and it opens to reveal that little...
0:32:47 > 0:32:49That's lovely.
0:32:49 > 0:32:50Silk lined interior.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52How much did it cost?
0:32:52 > 0:32:53£35.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Oh, wow, OK!
0:32:54 > 0:32:58I think that's a bargain, I think so.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00What do you think it might make?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I think that's a 40-60.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- OK?- OK.- But you don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Wait until your other items have been sold,
0:33:07 > 0:33:08but in the meantime,
0:33:08 > 0:33:12let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of Paul's silver purse.
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Paul's bonus buy is this little embossed silver purse.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21Nice little thing.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22It is a nice thing.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24There's a nice embossed decoration there
0:33:24 > 0:33:26and the cartouche to the centre,
0:33:26 > 0:33:29hanging chain, yes, it's a good decorative item.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31What's your estimate on that?
0:33:31 > 0:33:3230-50.
0:33:32 > 0:33:3530-50. Well, Paul paid £35,
0:33:35 > 0:33:38so there is the chance of some profit on that.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41Yeah, there's definitely a chance of profit on this item.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43I believe you're our auctioneer today.
0:33:43 > 0:33:44I am, Anita.
