0:00:03 > 0:00:04Today, we're in Epsom in Surrey,
0:00:04 > 0:00:09where a 17th-century discovery saw visitor numbers boom.
0:00:09 > 0:00:15In 1618, a natural spring was discovered right here
0:00:15 > 0:00:20and the water was found to contain a naturally healing mineral compound,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23and once the water is evaporated...
0:00:25 > 0:00:26..you get these.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Epsom salts.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Even now, bathing in this stuff is said to cure
0:00:32 > 0:00:35all sorts of aches and pains.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37But no time to relax,
0:00:37 > 0:00:40both our teams have a spring in their step and are hoping to make
0:00:40 > 0:00:43some interesting discoveries of their own.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46So, let's go bargain hunting!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Welcome to Epsom Racecourse Antiques And Collectables Fair.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21With around 100 stalls overflowing with purchasing possibilities,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24will our teams bag a bargain today?
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Let's have a peek at what's coming up.
0:01:29 > 0:01:30The Reds are spending big.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32We've already bought one quite expensive item, haven't we?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35I don't want to leave Danny with nothing. Don't worry about me!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Don't worry about me!
0:01:37 > 0:01:39While the Blues' knowledge is put to the test.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41What date is it? Come on, I'm going to test you now.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Oh! Oh, my goodness! You've had one hour of training.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45It's definitely Victorian.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48And there's plenty of excitement at the auction!
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Yes!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56But that's all for later - let's meet today's teams.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00For the Reds, we have married couple Andrew and Stephanie.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04And for the Blues, we have friends Graham and Julie.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Hello, everyone!
0:02:06 > 0:02:07ALL: Hello!
0:02:07 > 0:02:08It's lovely to have you along.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Now, Reds first.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14So, Andrew, it says here that you're a trained actor.
0:02:14 > 0:02:15Tell us about that.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Well, Anita, it was something I always wanted to do
0:02:17 > 0:02:21when I was young, but I went into the family business,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23we had a clothing company.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Then we got out of that about ten years ago and I thought,
0:02:26 > 0:02:28"What do you do?" You go back to what you wanted to do
0:02:28 > 0:02:29when you were young.
0:02:29 > 0:02:34So, I went off to East 15 and did a MA year's acting course,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36and it's been marvellous fun ever since.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Right, do people ask you for your autograph?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Yes, one. One did, once, yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Was it this lady here?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44It wasn't, actually, no.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45It was her mum! It was her mum!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51So, Stephanie, you and Andrew work together?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53We do. A husband-and-wife team.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54I know!
0:02:54 > 0:02:56It's frightening, isn't it?
0:02:56 > 0:02:57Tell me what you do.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00We run after-school clubs where we teach children how to do things
0:03:00 > 0:03:05with computers, like stop animation, Lego robotics,
0:03:05 > 0:03:08video game labs where they design their own video games,
0:03:08 > 0:03:09and it's amazing. The children love it.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13But you're also an adventurous type of woman.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I am. You like travelling.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18So, tell us about it. Have you got any exciting trips planned?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20I do. We're going to trek part of the Wall of China
0:03:20 > 0:03:22for our local breast unit charity. Wow!
0:03:22 > 0:03:25How many thousands of miles might that be?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28It's too many for me to walk, but we're going to do 70 of it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, you guys live together and work together,
0:03:31 > 0:03:36but how will you be as a team out there, shopping at the fair?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39I'll decide, Andrew will haggle.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41He'll do what he's told, really.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Sounds like a plan!
0:03:43 > 0:03:46And take the advice of the expert as well. Yeah, absolutely.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Because we don't really know what we're looking for! No!
0:03:49 > 0:03:50Now, over to the Blues.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54We have Julie and Graham, who are best friends.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Yes. Now, Graham, how did you two meet?
0:03:57 > 0:04:01In Findon village, we have a very, very good garden association.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ah, gardening!
0:04:03 > 0:04:07And so, I was encouraged by several people, including Julie,
0:04:07 > 0:04:12to join the club, because I used to work at a local garden centre.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So, Graham, what did you do before that?
0:04:15 > 0:04:21I worked at Heathrow, for one of the big airlines there, for 31 years.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26Was that an exciting and glamorous job in those days?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Anita, I'd do it all again, absolutely.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Ah, I love it! Just as it was.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It was absolutely fantastic.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35That sounds absolutely terrific.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Now, Julie, tell me, what do you do for a living?
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Well, not so exciting, I'm afraid.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41I work for the local authority.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Right. And I'm a licensing assistant...
0:04:44 > 0:04:49But, I believe that underneath that respectability,
0:04:49 > 0:04:55there is an exotic woman there, with an exotic hobby!
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Tell us about that!
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Well, I've been teaching belly dance now, Egyptian belly dance,
0:05:01 > 0:05:05for quite a few years.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Now, I wonder, and I hope you don't mind,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11but could you teach us a couple of wee moves?
0:05:11 > 0:05:12Are you up for it, guys?!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Yes!
0:05:14 > 0:05:15OK, give us a move.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19OK. Well, first of all, we have some snaky arms.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Snaky arms, folks, snaky arms!
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Nice and elegant. Right, OK.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27And we have some cheeky shoulder shimmies.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35Well, that was great fun. That was smashing. Thank you.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37I'm going to practise afterwards.
0:05:37 > 0:05:38Good.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Well, what I have to do at this moment, then, is give you some dosh.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45300 smackeroos for the Reds.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46Ooh! I'll have that.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49And 300 for you. Thank you.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Your experts await, so off you go!
0:05:54 > 0:05:59Well, will our teams be dancing with delight when the hammer comes down
0:05:59 > 0:06:00at the auction?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05All our teams need now are their experts.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Baby-sitting the Reds, it's Danny Sebastien.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12And flying high with the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17OK, then, guys, what are we looking for today? Stephanie?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'd like something beautiful that has a bit of a story behind it.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Hopefully, a nice piece of silver.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Well, I like things you can use,
0:06:23 > 0:06:25a working antique, something practical.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Jewellery, nice piece of jewellery? A piece of jewellery?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31And what's the aim, Julie? Ooh, to get the Golden Gavel. Ha-ha!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Teams, your time starts now.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35OK, it sounds like we're going to have some great fun.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Let's get going.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Are you ready? Yes! We're ready. Go - that direction! Right.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42They're off! Best of luck, teams!
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Have the Reds found something beautiful from their shopping list already?
0:06:45 > 0:06:47What are you looking at there?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49I was just looking at these items.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Can you tell us a little bit about them?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It looks like Limoges, which is French porcelain.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Quite nice, quite desirable.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57Pill boxes?
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Hmm, we got one for your mum for Christmas once.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Did we? Well, I did. Did she use it?! No!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Well, this is the thing. Is it overly practical? Yeah.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Probably not. OK.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07I think we've got to keep moving on.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Let's move on. OK. Time's going to run out on us. Let's go.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12That's right, Danny, the clock's ticking.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Now, what is it, then, that you like about this?
0:07:15 > 0:07:20It's the style and also the quality, erm, the look about it.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yeah, what's really quite interesting about this is,
0:07:22 > 0:07:26even though it was made in 1952, if you look at the style,
0:07:26 > 0:07:30it could have really easily been made much earlier. Right.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32?92. What are your thoughts?
0:07:32 > 0:07:3475? In auction, it's probably 50-70.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37I don't think she's going to come down. But I don't think...
0:07:37 > 0:07:38No, I don't think she is.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I think this lady has a really good piece of stock.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44She has a lot of quality. And when you've got a good piece of stock,
0:07:44 > 0:07:45you don't give it away.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46No. You don't.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48So, we're going to leave this for now.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50I think we put that on the back burner. OK.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52While the Blues continue their search,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54the Reds have spotted something on their travels.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Wow, that is a big globe, isn't it?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58You'd need a lot of living room space for that, wouldn't you?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00Well, a nice office, something like that.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's all about the quality with globes though, isn't it, really?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Yes, and that doesn't look like a bad one standing from here.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Grab hold of it, grab hold of it. Let's have...
0:08:08 > 0:08:10OK. Am I allowed to do that?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11OK. Is it heavy?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13It's not heavy, but I'm just being careful with it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The last thing I want to do is drop it. Pop it on here.
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Got a nice mahogany base on it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:18OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Right here, it's got on it, Philips' Terrestrial Globe.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Philips was a big maker in the 1950s and 1960s of globes.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32Great. They normally came in metal, in, like, tin.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34This one's got no tin on it at all.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37So I think the tin ones were more desirable, but this one,
0:08:37 > 0:08:40it was probably in a school back in the day.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43I suppose the million-dollar question is what, at auction,
0:08:43 > 0:08:44what could we expect?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47It's marked up at ?150.
0:08:47 > 0:08:48?100, yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50We can always try and trim it down a little bit.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54OK. So, we're really wanting a Golden Gavel.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56This is marked up at 150. OK.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58What can we do on this price?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01What would be your really best, best, best price?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Well, I know in auction this would be somewhere between 120-180.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So, I can go down to, say, 125?
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I mean, to be honest, I'd be happier if we could get it around
0:09:11 > 0:09:13the 100 mark, but it's not going to happen.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I think 110, we're going to stand a chance at auction
0:09:17 > 0:09:18of making a profit.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Yeah, go on, then - 110!
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Thank you! Thank you very much indeed!
0:09:21 > 0:09:23What a deal! With a bit of help from Danny,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25the Reds have bagged their first item.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28I think there might be a chance of well making a good profit
0:09:28 > 0:09:30on that at auction. I love it, it's beautiful.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33But whatever happens, we do love it. Yeah. Well, that's half the thing.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Mmm. Yes. And, of course, secondly, we're one buy in.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37OK! Fantastic.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Let's keep going. Yes!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41So, it's 1-0 to the Reds.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Meanwhile, the Blues are getting stuck in.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Would you use that, Julie, with your hay? Would you?
0:09:46 > 0:09:47No, definitely not!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49No? I wouldn't use it in the stable, but I think...
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Have you got a horse, Julie? Yes, I have.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Oh, right! Well, you need one of those desperately!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56No, but I think they look quite nice sort of... On a wall.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58..on a wall. Yes.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59If you've got an old cottage or something.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02OK. That one in particular is quite a nice shape.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Well, let's have a look. Let's handle it, Julie.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Pull it out and tell me all about it. Tell me what you're feeling. OK.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10So, quite often these come across from France, don't they?
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes, yeah. No, it's Spanish. Spanish?
0:10:12 > 0:10:13It's all from Spain.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Nice feature that it's all one piece of wood.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Yes, fascinating, actually.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18Gives it a bit more quality, I think.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21It's incredible, isn't it? That nature can be so stunningly useful
0:10:21 > 0:10:23and beautiful at the same time.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Yes. Yep. So, that has not...
0:10:24 > 0:10:27It may have been manipulated slightly with heat, just to move,
0:10:27 > 0:10:29but that is a root that has been formed naturally
0:10:29 > 0:10:30to make into a pitchfork.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's really nice. I like that.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34It's great! I like the shape.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35What would be your best on it?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37What kind of wood, would you say? Ooh, I don't know.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Best? What have I got on there? 45.
0:10:39 > 0:10:4145. We're looking for a really good price.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43I would say probably about 28?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Oof! 28, no.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47No. That's too...too cheap.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Erm...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Do it for 30. 30? All right.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Not a moment wasted - 11 minutes in, and the Blues are off the mark.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Come on, we've bought a pitchfork. We're off.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Now, what has caught Stephanie's eye?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02I love a bit of kitsch.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03OK.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I know you love a bit of... I'm not convinced. What does Danny think?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10What do you think? Erm, well, I think Babycham, 1970s,
0:11:10 > 0:11:11very popular drink.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Right. But I've never seen...
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Would that be, like, a nibble dish or something?
0:11:16 > 0:11:18I've never seen this little dish before.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Hello, there! Hello.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21No, they're not for peanuts.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Originally, they were ashtrays and you'd find them on the bars.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26They're made by Beswick.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29The cigarettes would be obviously laid in there. I see it now. Yes.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31What is the price you've got on it today?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32The price on this is 28.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34I think we need to keep looking. OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And maybe have this in reserve, if we need it. OK.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39Good thought. Let's go.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Well done.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Decisive thinking by the Reds.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Meanwhile, the Blues are homing in on a red vase.
0:11:46 > 0:11:47I like that, but...
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Oh, tell me about that then.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Well, it's a Japanese thing, isn't it? Enamel.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Cloisonne. That's it, cloisonne.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58I think for safety, you're going to say it's early to mid-20th century.
0:11:58 > 0:12:03It could, if you were very lucky, be 19th century, a Meiji period thing,
0:12:03 > 0:12:101868 to 1912, which is the period of the master cloisonne makers in Japan.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14But there's no markings on the base, which is a crying shame.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17What sort of price do you have on the cloisonne?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19I'm asking 95 for it.
0:12:19 > 0:12:20Right. Yeah.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23At that level, I don't think it's for us. OK.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24But a lovely one to handle. OK.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Thank you.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Back to the Reds, who are, coincidentally,
0:12:28 > 0:12:29also looking at cloisonne.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31These caught my eye.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Is there anything you could tell me about these, Danny?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36What we've got here is some nice little pots, looks Chinese,
0:12:36 > 0:12:42and there's a process, cloisonne, which is enamelling on metalwork.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43What's the price on them?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oh, 125.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46125.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think they're quite modern, to be honest.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52And I think 125 is just a little bit too rich for us. OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Quite nice...
0:12:54 > 0:12:55too rich.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Move on. OK. Yes. OK.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00But both teams still have plenty of cash to splash,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04and still at the same stall, the Blues have found some silver.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06What do you think about that?
0:13:06 > 0:13:07Very, very pretty.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So, what is it?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, I think it's called a vinaigrette.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12Good. Excellent. Yes? Yeah.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16It would be filled with something sort of floral and fragrant... Yes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18..to sort of waft under your nose
0:13:18 > 0:13:20when you're going through smelly areas.
0:13:20 > 0:13:2418th century, the period of George III.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25What sort of money is it?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Erm, I'm looking for 150.
0:13:27 > 0:13:28150.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Well, the thing is, again, here we go, we're picking good things.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37And, you know, as an object made 250 years ago out of solid silver,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40with all that kind of social history to it, it's no money.
0:13:40 > 0:13:41It's no money.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Possibly too pricey for our savvy Blue team,
0:13:44 > 0:13:47but the stall-holder has something else.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Yeah, I've got another piece that might be of interest to you.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53This might have been modified.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56This is by Samuel Pemberton, late 18th century, and normally,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59when they're this shape, they contain either a scent bottle
0:13:59 > 0:14:05or an etui, but sometime in its life,
0:14:05 > 0:14:07it's had a vinaigrette grill put in it.
0:14:07 > 0:14:08How interesting.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11Isn't that sweet? I could let you have that reasonably,
0:14:11 > 0:14:12which you might stand a chance.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13I'd do 50.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16So it's 50 quid or nothing. You take it or you leave it.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17It's one of those situations.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18What's your instinct, Graham?
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Well, I'm...
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Down to 40, is what I was thinking.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24That's awful.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25He's awful, isn't he?
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I'm losing money, but you can have it, cos I'd like you
0:14:28 > 0:14:29to make a profit if you can.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Thank you, that would be wonderful. Shall we shake on that?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33I think so. Julie, you happy? 40? Oh, yes.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35There you go. Thank you. Thank you so much.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38That's unbelievable. I mean, two very interesting buys.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40We've got the hay fork and then a very refined piece of silver.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42OK? Yep. Great.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Purchase two. On we go. Wonderful. Right.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Well done, Blues.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47While the teams continue shopping,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I'm going to find out about the intriguing history
0:14:50 > 0:14:52of the racecourse here at Epsom.
0:14:59 > 0:15:05Today, I'm joined by Andrew Cooper who is head of racing here at Epsom.
0:15:05 > 0:15:10Now, Andrew, tell me when horse racing started at this course.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Well, there's record of horse racing taking place on the downs here as
0:15:15 > 0:15:16early as the 1660s.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21But it really took off as a sport in the country and also in this local
0:15:21 > 0:15:23area once salts were discovered in Epsom
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and it became a popular spa town.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Yeah, Epsom salts, I know all about that.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Andrew, tell me about the Derby.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Well, the Derby is the most famous horse race in the world.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39And there are 140 other races around the world that have copied our name,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43but this is the one and only, historic, truly original Derby.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48Now, that is a wonderful old bell. Tell me about that.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, this is the bell that was used
0:15:50 > 0:15:54to signal the start of the Derby race
0:15:54 > 0:15:59from its first running in 1780 to, we think, 1852.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01So, on both sides of the course,
0:16:01 > 0:16:04both at the start and on the grandstand side,
0:16:04 > 0:16:07a bell was rung to signify that the race had taken place,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10so the public knew that the race had actually started.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Andrew, can you tell me about these little dolls
0:16:13 > 0:16:15and what do they have to do with the Derby?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19Well, these Derby dolls, or penny woodens, as they're called,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22became very popular in the 1800s
0:16:22 > 0:16:28and their link to the Derby was that on the journey down from London
0:16:28 > 0:16:33to Epsom racecourse, on very, very dusty roads at the time,
0:16:33 > 0:16:36gentlemen in particular would wear
0:16:36 > 0:16:40these little Derby doll trinkets in their hats.
0:16:40 > 0:16:41In the hat band?
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Yes, dressed in the colours of the horses that they were going to
0:16:45 > 0:16:47support later in the day at the racecourse,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51and were one of those little lucky tokens that became associated
0:16:51 > 0:16:54with the Derby race in the mid-1800s.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56Now, I know about this book,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03But what on earth has this got to do with Epsom racecourse?
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Well, Isabella Beeton, as a teenage girl,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10lived in the grandstand at Epsom racecourse.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Really? She moved in with her widowed mother,
0:17:14 > 0:17:17who married the then clerk of the course and manager of the racecourse,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19a gentleman called Henry Dorling.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23That couple went on to have 13 children. 13?!
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Having had eight from the previous marriages
0:17:25 > 0:17:28and Isabella lived here in the grandstand.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Actually in the grandstand?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Indeed. She lived there, looking after all those younger siblings.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Isabella Beeton subsequently wrote the book in 1861, it was published,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41it was a bestseller at the time and it's still in print now.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Andrew, thank you for telling us all these interesting facts about the
0:17:44 > 0:17:47marvellous Epsom racecourse.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51But meanwhile, it's time for us to check back in with the teams.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Back to it, and the teams are halfway through the shopping.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03The Reds still need two items,
0:18:03 > 0:18:08while the Blues are feeling at ease with just one item left to find.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12I think we're doing OK, we've got two items in half an hour.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14So now we can afford to relax
0:18:14 > 0:18:18and have a good look around and see what we can come up with.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Not too much with the relaxation, not for the next 30 minutes, anyway.
0:18:22 > 0:18:23OK.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27While the Blues feel a bit more relaxed, the Reds are staying focused.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31This box at the back here, what do you think that might be?
0:18:31 > 0:18:36Well, we've got a nice little Victorian, I'd say late Victorian,
0:18:36 > 0:18:40jewellery box. Got a little tray inside which is quite nice.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44There's no key, but there is a little shield on top where you'd personalise it
0:18:44 > 0:18:47and put, like, initials.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Good size. I mean, it looks like it's in great stead.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54There's a little bit of damage at the front corner,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57but it's been repaired very well by the looks of things.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58So, Danny, I would buy this.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Do you think it's got a good chance of being popular at an auction?
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Little boxes are always desirable, they're very commercial.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Doesn't necessarily have to be used in its original state.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Something like that could be on somebody's desk in an office,
0:19:11 > 0:19:17and those little compartments can fit drawing pins, safety clips, stamps. You know, pens.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20If you're collecting pens as well, nibs.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22So I know they're very commercial.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24What's your price on this?
0:19:24 > 0:19:25The price is 95.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28To take it to auction, it's a bit too rich.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Really, it wants to be between, say, ?60 to ?80.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35That's going to stand us with a chance of making a profit.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38OK. I mean, what is the absolute best you can do on it, sir?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40The best on it would be 65.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Well, we've already bought one quite expensive item, haven't we?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I don't want to leave Danny with nothing.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Don't worry about me. Don't worry about me!
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Would you go to ?60, as it doesn't have a key?
0:19:53 > 0:19:54OK, I'll do it for 60.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Fantastic. I'd be happy to go with it at 60?
0:19:57 > 0:19:59I'm happy. You're happy? Yes. OK.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Shake the man's hand. Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05Great negotiating skills from the Reds.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Meanwhile, the Blues are back on track and Julie has found some colourful jewellery.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, why were you drawn to that? Tell us all about it.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16Because it's the sort of jewellery that I think is very pretty.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18It looks Edwardian, I don't know whether it is.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20OK, yeah. You can see pearls and...
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Very pretty. ..that sort of thing.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Let's have a look at it, then.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27Is that the kind of thing that you would actually wear?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29If I'm honest, only on special occasions.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31That's fine. It's rather glamorous, isn't it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34What sort of price, money have we got on that?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36195. Oh, gosh.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I mean, you haven't spent very much money.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41No. But the endgame here is what?
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Profit. For what reason?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Because we want to... To get the Golden Gavel. The Golden Gavel.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48So I think maybe...
0:20:48 > 0:20:50You're driven, aren't you? You're truly driven.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53We'll have to say thank you very much, but no thank you.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57The Blues are all about their Golden Gavel game plan,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00while the Reds have a bit of time on their hands.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03OK, so, this clock caught my eye.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I don't know if it's got any age to it.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08To me, it looks to the style of the '60s or '70s.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11What do you think? Maybe a little bit earlier. Oh.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Sort of, I'd say more '30s, '40s.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20Mantel clock - nice. It looks like a burr walnut on the front.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22I'm going to be honest with you,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I think the ticket price tells us what we've got here.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27Not the most commercial.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Yeah. Nowadays, you want something a little bit more elaborate,
0:21:32 > 0:21:33something a bit more striking.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37OK. People don't necessarily put clocks on the mantelpiece any more.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39No, I suppose not.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41A very nice example, in lovely condition,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44but I just don't think it's really in vogue.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46OK, we'll take your advice on that.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Thanks. Thank you for that. Let's keep looking.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Only ten minutes left on the clocks, teams.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I quite like that, is it a brooch, there?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56Hi, there. Can you just give us a price? Is it a silver one,
0:21:56 > 0:21:57on the left-hand side? That one?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Yes. Is it a brooch or pendant?
0:22:00 > 0:22:01It's a brooch. OK.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03What price have you got on there?
0:22:03 > 0:22:07I've got 19 on there. ?19, OK. Can we have a look at that?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yeah, make sure you can see the marker.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13OK. I'm thinking Golden Gavel territory, all right?
0:22:13 > 0:22:14This is what we want.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17It's ?19, we can do a bit of negotiating.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's got a bit of a look.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21OK, but is it silver, or is it just...?
0:22:21 > 0:22:22No, it is silver.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25It is silver. It's got a little split in it here.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Is it a split, or is it not on the pin, on the body?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Oh, yes, I can.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33No, no, no, don't discount it,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37because that means we're going to get it at a bargain price, right?
0:22:37 > 0:22:38Think Golden Gavels. Yes.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Right, Golden Gavels? Yeah.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43So, what kind of money could that be?
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Because it's got the split, you could have it for ?10.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49?10. It is what it is, but I think it's lovely, and I think it perhaps...
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, hang on a minute. It's ?10, what date is it?
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Come on, I'm going to test you now. Oh, my goodness. You've had one hour of training.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56It's definitely Victorian.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59OK, it's late 19th, early 20th century.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00Oh, right, OK. It's got to be.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03Pre-First World War, I would guess.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05It's got a lot of shine to it. Let's go for it.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Yes. Let's do it.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Let's go for it. Do you want to?
0:23:09 > 0:23:10With a box.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Yes. Lovely, thank you, madam.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15Well done, Blues, that's your third and final item.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19Right, OK, that, chaps, is Golden Gavel territory.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Hooray! There we go.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Thank you, madam, thank you very much.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Now back with the Reds,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27they have just six minutes left to find their last item.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31And can I have a look at the little travelling perfume bottle, please?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34That's actually a smelling salts bottle.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Oh, it's a smelling salts bottle.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38What are you thinking?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40I'm thinking it's beautiful, I've never seen one.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42I know it's not useful.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44I mean, it's in great condition, let's not take that away.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48It's marked up at ?12.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51You know, I mean, it's not too far out, to be honest.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56OK. You know, there's always collectors for little things.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59This is a lovely little reviver, smelling salts bottle.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02You know, it's got a nice polished top, white metal polished top.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04It's in nice condition.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07We'll just take the lid off, just to check for chips.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09And we could say there's no damage.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Well, I think we need to make a decision.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14We know it's priced at ?12.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16There must be about just over five minutes left.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19So, we're going to have to make a decision.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I've learned over the years, if Stephanie's happy with it,
0:24:21 > 0:24:23I've got to be happy too.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Let's see what price we can get.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28Hi, there. Hi. It's priced up at ?12.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Yeah. We're really going for a Golden Gavel.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33What would be your very best price on that?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Really, it would be ten on that, which is no money, really,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38for what it is. OK.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Would you be able to do it for nine? Yeah, we'll do it for nine.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Thank you very much indeed.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46This could be the Golden Gavel, you never know.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Good luck. Thank you so much, really appreciate it.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51That's it, teams, your time's up.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53That's it, gents, ladies and gents.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55We've done well. That's our third item.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56She's happy, look at that.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05First up was the large terrestrial globe with a price of ?110.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10They found a gem in this jewellery box at ?60.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And finally, a miniature scent bottle
0:25:15 > 0:25:17at the equally miniature price of ?9.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Stephanie, Andrew, did you have a good time?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Yes, we did, didn't we? What was your favourite item?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26I think for me it was the tiny little bottle in the leather pouch,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I loved it. Andrew, what about you?
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Well, for me, it's the globe.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Oh, right. It's something you can use, it's huge, it's imposing,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38just the kind of thing I like. Yeah!
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Is it going to make the most money?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43With a strong wind, I think it could do well,
0:25:43 > 0:25:45so I'm going to stick to my guns and say the globe, yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, you spent ?129.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Can you give me 121, please?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Which I will pass over immediately to Danny.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57Thank you. Are you happy with that amount of money?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Well, I think I've got plenty to spend.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00We bought some great items.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I've got my work cut out if I can keep up the flow.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07While Danny goes off to do his very best,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10we're going to have a look at what the Blues bought.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12First up, they got into country living
0:26:12 > 0:26:17with this carved wooden pitchfork, bought for ?30.
0:26:17 > 0:26:21They picked up this late 18th-century vinaigrette for ?40.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24And finally, this silver and amethyst brooch caught Julie's eye,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26?10 paid.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Julie, Graham, did you have a nice time today?
0:26:29 > 0:26:30Wonderful. It was amazing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Yeah. Julie, what was your favourite item?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Definitely the hay fork.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38I love it. Graham, what was your favourite item?
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Well, I have to say, it's got to be the hay fork.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44Oh, so you're both in agreement? We're both in agreement on that.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's in one piece, that's what's amazing,
0:26:46 > 0:26:49and where the forks are out, it's just amazing.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53But profit wise, I think, really, the vinaigrette may do it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57You spent ?80, could you give me 220, please?
0:26:57 > 0:27:02There we go, madam. ?220 is an enormous amount of money, David.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04I've never seen that amount in my life.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06Are you going to blow the lot?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well, I'm going to stick to the trying to make a profit,
0:27:08 > 0:27:10so I'm going to be very cautious.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Profit, profit, profit.
0:27:12 > 0:27:13Golden Gavel.
0:27:13 > 0:27:18While David goes off to buy something with a definite profit,
0:27:18 > 0:27:19we're off to the auction.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32I've travelled to Bellmans auctioneers in West Sussex
0:27:32 > 0:27:34to meet auctioneer Jonathan Pratt.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Hello, Jonathan. Hi, there.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Now, Reds first of all.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Andrew and Stephanie.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44Their first item, this Philips terrestrial globe, what do you think of it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48I like it a lot because, obviously, it's an educational tool.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49They have a sculptural quality.
0:27:51 > 0:27:52It's kind of retro as well.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56So in that respect, you can see someone having it in a study,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59you can see them having it in a kid's bedroom as an ornament or as
0:27:59 > 0:28:02a useful tool as well. So I think it's got quite a lot going for it
0:28:02 > 0:28:04and it is a big one, it's the size of a beach ball.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07What's your estimate on that? I've estimated at ?50 to ?70.
0:28:07 > 0:28:0950 to 70?
0:28:09 > 0:28:13They paid ?110 for it. There we go, yes.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17OK, their second item, it's the Victorian jewellery box.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Are these still popular?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23This is very traditional. At an auction, you often see two or three in a lot.
0:28:23 > 0:28:24Often they've been gutted.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27So the nice thing about this one is
0:28:27 > 0:28:30it's quite presentable and it's got a nice interior which is nicely
0:28:30 > 0:28:32finished in a nice fabric and it's nicely buttoned,
0:28:32 > 0:28:34and there's a lot of nice things about it to sell it.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36What's your estimate on it?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I've put ?20 to ?40 on it.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Well, I think they may have paid a wee bit too much at ?60.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47If I get 60, I think I'll be inundated with other people wanting to sell them.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52Now, their third item is the little perfume bottle,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54vinaigrette, sweet smelling.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Yeah, it's called the Revive You
0:28:56 > 0:28:59and that suggests to me that it's smelling salts.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03It's moulded glass, nickel-plated sort of, you know, cover.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Very little... There's no quality there.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Not really, no. But it's a novelty, isn't it?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10It's a bit of fun. Yeah. And at ?5 to ?10, is what I reckon.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Well, they paid ?9, so, they have a chance.
0:29:13 > 0:29:17My minimum bid, I try to get ten for everything at the very least,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20so I've got to get a profit on it. You've got to get a profit on it.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23So, that's their three items.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26They may or may not need their bonus buy.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29But we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33Andrew, Stephanie, you spent ?179.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36You gave Danny 121.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Danny, what did you buy?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41I bought something a little bit different, a little bit quirky.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43OK. Oh!
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Oh, I love it, what is it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48It's a Brunsviga Nova calculator.
0:29:48 > 0:29:51It dates back to about the 1940s.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I can't remember how it works, but I know when I bought it
0:29:54 > 0:29:56the vendor showed me it working!
0:29:56 > 0:29:58He really did.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00It's not something you're going to use, anyway, is it?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02It's a piece of art to sit on your table.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06Yeah, absolutely, that's exactly it. OK, so, how much did you pay for it?
0:30:06 > 0:30:07I paid ?40.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09OK. I don't think that's too bad.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11Well, what do you think it could make?
0:30:11 > 0:30:17I'd like to think it could make ?50 to ?70, may even go daft, big money.
0:30:17 > 0:30:18Really? I think so.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21If we've got some accountants with a nice desk in the house.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Well, you don't need to make up your mind at the moment.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31But in the meantime,
0:30:31 > 0:30:36let's find out if the auctioneer thinks Danny's calculator
0:30:36 > 0:30:39will add up to a profit.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41And as if by magic, Jonathan,
0:30:41 > 0:30:45has appeared something completely different.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Yes. It's an old calculator.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49What do you think of that?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53It's a piece of history, modern history at that,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55something made in the early part of the 20th century.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58And, again, it has a sculptural quality, doesn't it?
0:30:58 > 0:31:00You know, you can put it in the home and, what does this do?
0:31:00 > 0:31:04I quite like it. It has no practical sense whatsoever in modern society,
0:31:04 > 0:31:08but it's not too big, it's a piece of history, bit of fun, really.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10What's your estimate on that?
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I've suggested between ?15 and ?25.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Yeah, they paid ?40 for it.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17I mean, I can see that doing not too badly.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Well, that's it for the Reds.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21And now for our Blues, Julie and Graham.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Their first item, it's a pitchfork.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26There is a collector's market for tools anyway
0:31:26 > 0:31:28and there's museums of garden tools and things.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31And it may not be terribly old, it might only be from the '40s or '50s.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34What I like about it, it's been used and you can see it has been used.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36You've got wear to the tines.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I rather like it. I think it's quite a novelty.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41What's your estimate on the pitchfork? ?30 to ?50.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Well, they paid ?30. Good. So there is a chance here.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Second item is the little vinaigrette.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52What's nice about it is that it has period charm,
0:31:52 > 0:31:54you can see it's a Georgian piece
0:31:54 > 0:31:58with the bright-cut engraving, and the shape is an etui,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01which in itself is a sort of, I mean, it's a rare object,
0:32:01 > 0:32:05so it has a novelty shaped value rather than a straightforward sort of rectangular vinaigrette.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08So I like that a lot, actually. What's your estimate on that?
0:32:08 > 0:32:09?70 to ?90.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Well, that's not too bad.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13They've only paid ?40.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Wow, have I overcooked it? I hope not.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20Now, their third item, Julie loves amethyst
0:32:20 > 0:32:24and they saw this silver and amethyst brooch.
0:32:24 > 0:32:25Tell me what you think of that.
0:32:25 > 0:32:30Where do I start, really? Problem is with brooches is that people don't wear them that often any more.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32So the value of brooches has been affected by popular fashion,
0:32:32 > 0:32:34but then it's not an expensive one.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Just in silver with amethyst, a nice colour, you know?
0:32:36 > 0:32:39So there are pluses and minuses for it, really.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Yeah, what's your estimate? I've put ?5 to ?8.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Yeah, well, they've paid ?10 so they've got a chance there.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I reckon I'll probably get ?12, ?15 for it. Very likely.
0:32:47 > 0:32:53Well, I think it's looking as if they're doing quite well, our Blues. Yeah.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55They may not need their bonus buy,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04Julie, Graham, well, you spent a modest ?80.
0:33:04 > 0:33:10That's true. You left our David ?220.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12David, did you spend it all?
0:33:12 > 0:33:19Let me tell you, I blew caution to the wind, and I bought with my heart.
0:33:19 > 0:33:25Oh! Wow. That is a real, proper bonafide antique.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Do you know what it is?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Tea caddy? Yes.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29What date is it?
0:33:29 > 0:33:3217... Victorian. 1750.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34Oh, my gosh. Oh, wow!
0:33:34 > 0:33:36You're bang on! Oh, well done!
0:33:36 > 0:33:37Absolutely marvellous!
0:33:37 > 0:33:41George II, solid mahogany, bomb-shaped tea caddy.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Would have had a segmented interior there.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46What's it worth, then? 150?
0:33:46 > 0:33:47OK, Julie? 80.
0:33:47 > 0:33:5280. I bought that for a ridiculous ?40. Oh! Wow!
0:33:52 > 0:33:54That's the market.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56You don't need to make up your mind just now.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59Wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01But in the meantime,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of David's tea caddy.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Blues' bonus buy is this tea caddy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Yeah. Very good shape.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Good shape, and it's earlier,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17it's not early, early, but being mid-18th century,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21sort of George II sort of piece, early George III sort of piece.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24And I like that. So, yeah, a nice thing, really.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27But, sadly, not as collectable as they used to be.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28What's your estimate, Jonathan?
0:34:28 > 0:34:3120-40. Yeah, so David paid ?40 for this.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34So there is a chance that it will get there.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Look, my estimate is there as a bit of a come and get me.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I really like it, I think this could do quite well.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Are you taking the auction today, Jonathan?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Yes, I am. Oh, yeah? Can't wait.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49?20 I have. Who's got five, 25?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51Selling, ?40.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Have you guys been to an auction before?
0:34:54 > 0:34:56No. So it's a new experience?
0:34:56 > 0:34:57Is your heart pounding?
0:34:57 > 0:34:59No, mine's stopped!
0:35:01 > 0:35:06Well, your first item, that wonderful Phillips globe,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08you paid ?110 for it.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I know. And it's coming up right now.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Good luck, guys. Thank you.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Lot 165.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23And five and 60, and five and 70, and five and 80 with me, 85 then.
0:35:23 > 0:35:2490 standing.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26Five, 100.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29And ten. And ten in the red, now, 110 in the red.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31?110 in the red.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34110 with you, sir, fair warning.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36At ?110, selling, all done?
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Oh, 110, guys. You haven't lost any money.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45So I'm going to call it a good start.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51Your next item, your Victorian jewellery box, you paid ?60 for it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Good luck, because it's coming up now.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Lot 167.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Victorian jewellery box.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Starting at ?20 for it.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Thank you, 20, 25. 30, 35.
0:36:02 > 0:36:0335. Go on, one more.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Come on, come on. 40, waving, standing.
0:36:06 > 0:36:0845 seated.
0:36:08 > 0:36:1050's bid. Oh, yes.
0:36:10 > 0:36:1255 seated at my right, anyone else in the room?
0:36:12 > 0:36:16At ?55, I shall sell at ?55, all done?
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Last chance, then, fair warning, ?55?
0:36:20 > 0:36:2255.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25That's -?5.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28That's not too bad, not too bad.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Third item is the little miniature scent bottle,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34you only paid a wee tiny ?9 for it.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Hopefully make a profit.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Coming up. So, Lot 169.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41This lovely little miniature scent bottle.
