0:00:04 > 0:00:08We're in Devon today and this attractive town of Topsham
0:00:08 > 0:00:11was once the second busiest port in England.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Up until the mid-19th century,
0:00:13 > 0:00:16this quay would have been a hive of activity,
0:00:16 > 0:00:21with valuable cargo being shipped in and out across the world.
0:00:22 > 0:00:26Today, there is no shortage of valuable cargo down here.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28The place is full of antiques.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32So, what are we waiting for? Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Topsham's Quay Antique Centre is today's treasure trove,
0:01:02 > 0:01:05but will it leave our bargain hunters in riches or in ruins?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08They each have £300 but only one hour
0:01:08 > 0:01:12to find three items that will make them a profit at auction.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Will it be plain sailing?
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Let's have a look at what's coming up. Ooh-arr!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21On today's show, there's food for thought with the Reds.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25This reminds me of when you take the label off a baked bean tin.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27I knew you were going to say that.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30The Blues have done their homework.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32That rabbit or hare caught my eye,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35because I'm sure I've seen that one on an antiquey programme.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And it made good money.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40And there's thrills and spills over at the auction.
0:01:40 > 0:01:4245, anywhere in the room?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I can jump straight in at £35.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yes!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51But that's all coming up later.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53First, it's time to meet our teams.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And it's a very great show we have today
0:01:56 > 0:01:59because everyone is in married bliss.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02We have got for the Reds, Mike and Michelle.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And for the Blues, Anne and Ian.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06All married couples. Hello to you.
0:02:06 > 0:02:07Hello.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Now, Michelle, I believe it's all about cycling in your life.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14Tell me, how did this start?
0:02:14 > 0:02:17About 40, really. I didn't really cycle much till then.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I've got arthritis in my knees. And it was the doctor said,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22"Right, you've got to give up everything else.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26"Cycling or swimming." So, cycling it was, really.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28OK. And where has it taken you?
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Oh! All over the place.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31to John O'Groats.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- On our tandem.- That's really cool.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35So, who on the tandem was doing all the hard work?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Oh, me.- All right.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41They call the back cyclist the stoker.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42And the front one is the pilot.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45So it's obviously the back one that does all the work.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- The stoker.- The stoker.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50So, tell me, Mike... This is something I would love to do.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53In fact, everyone would love to do -
0:02:53 > 0:02:57take a year off and go and live abroad. How did that come about?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Well, we've got friends that emigrated
0:02:59 > 0:03:03to Brittany in northern France, a long time ago.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And we've been going there a long, long time.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11On the spur of the moment I bought a completely dilapidated old cottage.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13That was 13 years ago.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17I told her it was only going to take six months to do.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Took 13 years. - 13 years!- 13 years.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22A lot of love, though. A lot of love's gone into it.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- All of the construction? - Yeah.- What's your specialist area
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- when you're constructing something? - Oh, stairs.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33- Oh, right, OK.- I'm a carpenter joiner, basically.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38But stairs, the more intricate the better. I'm just a stairs nut.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Never heard of that!
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Well, there must be some because I am one.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I love it. It means you're using your noodle a little bit rather than
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- just, you know, sawing.- If it's all about construction and wood,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52are you thinking of buying sort of treen items today?
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Is that going to be your bag?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Something where a lot of craftsmanship's gone into.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Tell me, are you going to work well as husband and wife, do you reckon?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03- No.- No, no, no, no. - Right, OK, excellent. Right.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- So, there's going to be lots of bickering.- Oh, probably.- Absolutely.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Now, let's move on to your competitors.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The Blues. Ian and Anne. Now, Ian, tell me,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16it was your mutual love of singing that brought you and Anne together.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18So tell me, how did that come about?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Well, I attended an all-male college.
0:04:21 > 0:04:26- And the music tutor used to like to have a mixed choral society.- OK.
0:04:26 > 0:04:33So we used to invite young ladies in from various groups around the town
0:04:33 > 0:04:34to make a mixed choir.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37And that's where we met.
0:04:37 > 0:04:3963 years ago.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Wow. Amazing. 63 years ago.
0:04:43 > 0:04:48And we've been singing ever since in various forms.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49So it's singing for you, Ian,
0:04:49 > 0:04:53but for you, Anne, it's all about the piano, tinkling the ivories.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Well, it is now, but I used to sing.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00No, it's more piano. And I've done a lot of accompanying over the years.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- We've really enjoyed it. - So it's not just music you love,
0:05:03 > 0:05:07it's speaking foreign languages and visiting far-flung places.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Tell me about that.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12We both like to have a bit of language when we travel.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17We've been to Canada, twice.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18- Very exotic.- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Then we went to the Cayman Islands for Christmas.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23All around the Mediterranean.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25All around the Mediterranean. And Turkey.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Now, how do you think you're going to work as a team, tactic-wise?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- Do you have any tactics? - I think we ought to spend a little.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34I think we'd stand a better chance that way.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36OK. Well, we'll see how it goes.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39A lot of people say that and it's usually the best laid schemes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- So...- Exactly, exactly. Oh, exactly. - I'm not giving you euros.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43I'm giving you pounds sterling.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45And £300 of it to be exact.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So, Michelle, for the Reds, £300.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50And Anne, for the Blues, the same for you.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Thank you.- The experts can't wait to meet you.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Off you go.- Thank you.- With all this talk of singing, I wonder,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59will our teams be in harmony today?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01The Reds and Blues will need a
0:06:01 > 0:06:03little helping hand along the way today.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Will Gary Pe help spin a profit for the Reds?
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Or will Danny Sebastian be rowing the Blues to a win?
0:06:12 > 0:06:14So, team, what's on our shopping list today?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Something unusual, I think. Be quite nice to find something that I've not
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- seen on the programme before. - Oh, that's good, I like that.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22What sort of thing are you looking for, Anne?
0:06:22 > 0:06:27I think some small pieces that aren't too expensive.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30I like jewellery. I like treen.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- I'm looking for craftsmanship. - Yes.- Well made things.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Oh!- Wood.- Oh, it sings to me. - Wooden stuff.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Agricultural stuff.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41I mean, I love African art.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Well, I think we can do this. One hour, remember. Let's go.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48- Come on, let's go shopping. - Right you are.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52I hope you're ready, teams. Your time starts now.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59- Right, team, shall we start upstairs?- Yeah.- Great.- Let's go.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02We want something big, we want something bold,
0:07:02 > 0:07:04we want something elaborate.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06We want something that's going to make a lot of money.
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- I'm not for sale.- That's because you're priceless to us, Danny.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Get cracking, teams.- Use your eyes.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15- Yep.- Yeah.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21What about the tea services, do they...?
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- No?- Unless they're the good makes,
0:07:24 > 0:07:27the good designers, best to stay away.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30And the full sort of sets, as well, I suppose.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Moving along, then, Michelle.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37What about the compact? Silver compact.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's quite a plain one, isn't it?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It looks like something from the '30s.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44- Yeah, I thought, yeah. - From the Art Deco period.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- And it says that it's silver. - Do people collect them?
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- Yes.- They do.- Very much so.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Luckily, Beverley is standing by with the keys to the cabinet.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Oh, lovely, thank you. Oh, it's quite heavy.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- Yep.- That's a good sign, as well, isn't it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:03And there are the silver hallmarks.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05- Oh!- Nice...
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- Nice bevelling. Ah, see? - Oh, you've got your terms.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11- Yeah, I know my bevelling. - Little bit of a blemish there.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Well, that's good, cos that means that it's the original mirror.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Oh, right, yeah.- Well spotted, Mike.
0:08:18 > 0:08:2155. That's not too objectionable.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23But we won't make a profit.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26OK. So I need to get it down quite a bit, to be able to get a profit.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- Well, yes.- What's the best you can do on this?- Well, I mean, normally,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33the ticket price on it would be 50,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36but I do know this dealer quite well so I'm sure she'd do 45.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Any possibility we could get down more into 30s?
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Crikey, Michelle, that would be a good discount.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47Sorry, I really can't go any further than 45.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Is there a possibility at least of 44?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- Just in case.- Well, I'll put my neck on the block and say 40.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- Go on.- Oh!
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Nice work, Gary.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Thank you so much. I'd set my heart on that. That's great. Brilliant.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03We can't refuse. It would be rude to refuse.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05It would, it would, it would be really rude.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Yeah?- Yeah. Thank you very much. - I'm happy with that.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09OK. Come on.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Well done, Reds, ten minutes in and one item in the bag.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I wonder how the Blues are getting on?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That rabbit or hare caught my eye,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20because I'm sure I've seen that one on an antiquey programme.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24And it made good money. And I think that's a bit quirky, too.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27You're getting me round to your way of thinking, you know, Anne,
0:09:27 > 0:09:31But Ian's not said nothing about it yet. What do you think about it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Well, I saw it on television, as well.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38I quite liked it. I'm thinking along the line of a child's bedroom.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh, he's not very heavy.
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- He is actually very nice. - He's 59.- 59.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49We're both a bit quirky.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- I like that.- And I think he's quite quirky.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54He's got quite a nice face, hasn't he?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I believe you'll find that's actually a hare, team,
0:09:57 > 0:09:58and a fairly modern piece.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- But do you agree?- I do agree.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I'd like to know the best price o n that one, because I like it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07I'll leave you and Anne admiring and I'll go and see if I can find
0:10:07 > 0:10:09somebody who can give me a real good price on it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11- Yes.- OK, I'll see you in a second.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Time to hop off, Danny, and work your magic.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Meanwhile, carpenter Mike has taken a fancy to something.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21- What do you think of this, Gary? - Oh, the box?- Yes.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I can't make up my mind if it's marquetry or what. What is it?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Well, to begin with, this is poker work, right?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29That's a hot iron, is it?
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Hot iron, hot burning iron that would create those impressions.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Oh, right.- Those brown impressions. A bit of burning in there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- That's quite trendy now, as well. - Exactly.- Burning it in, isn't it?
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And it's painted, as well. Do we have a price here?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- Ten quid?- 58. Sounds a bit steep. - That is a bit steep.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Right, well, we've got heaps of time.- Shall we remember where it is?
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- Remember where it is, remember the price.- Right, OK.- Should we move on?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55One for the back burner, team.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58Meanwhile, Danny has raced back with shop assistant Albert.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02This is the hare that I was talking about. Priced at 59.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Now, very, very modern, you know, and probably made in abundance.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Well, rabbits do that, don't they?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11THEY LAUGH
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Very good, Albert.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15I think it's time to put a call in to John, the dealer.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18They're looking at one of your rabbits.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21For £59. What's your best price?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Righto, John, thank you very much, sir.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26£45.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Are you happy with that?- Happy, very happy with that.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Anne?- Yes, I'm very happy, cos I want to keep him.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34And I'm happy because you two are happy. Shake the man's hand.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38- Thank you very much, Albert. - Thank you, Albert.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Top work, Blues. That's you off the mark with your first item.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Our teams are now 20 minutes into their shop. What's Gary spotted?
0:11:46 > 0:11:50If you do a bit of entertaining,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53this one might fit the bill. It's a champagne bucket.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58- Yeah?- That style is very much
0:11:58 > 0:12:01along the lines of that compact that you bought.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02- Art Deco.- '20s, '30s?
0:12:02 > 0:12:06But this, to me, looks like it was probably made
0:12:06 > 0:12:08in the last 20 years or so.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Right.- Still, it has the look.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13Do you know this bit here?
0:12:13 > 0:12:16- Yes?- This reminds me of when you take the label off a baked bean tin.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I knew you were going to say that.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22How much is it? Oh, £10.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- Ten.- Ten quid?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Reduced from 18.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31You'd certainly get a lot of beans for your buck with that, Michelle.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35I can see this making at least double that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Even at auction. Are you moving towards, "I likey likey"?
0:12:38 > 0:12:42I like it for ten quid. You can't go wrong, can you?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44If we went for nine and then we made ten,
0:12:44 > 0:12:46we'd have £1 profit, wouldn't we?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Good point, Michelle, I like your thinking. See what you can do.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Any possibility of just an extra pound off that?
0:12:52 > 0:12:55Just the fact that when it goes to auction, if it makes £10,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57- then we've made £1.- I know.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I know this lady, so, yes, she probably will do that.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh, that is so good, thank you very much.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Well, that was pretty straightforward.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Number two for you, and you're only halfway through.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10So we've got 30 minutes to find that bit of wood.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- Let's go.- Excellent.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15All under control, Gary?
0:13:15 > 0:13:20I didn't think I was going to convince them with that second buy.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23I tell you what, that £10 price tag
0:13:23 > 0:13:25suddenly changed the whole thing.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Better than that, we got it for £9.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30There's got to be a profit in that.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Only time will tell, Gary. Let's leave the teams to it,
0:13:33 > 0:13:36whilst I show you something that's rather cutting edge.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Is this a dagger I see before me?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Well, officially, yes, it is a dagger.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50But let's give it its proper Scottish name.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53This here is a dirk.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56The word dirk comes from a Gaelic word,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00and it really is just another way of saying a long, thin dagger.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04Now, dirks were introduced into Scottish military Highland Dress,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08really, around the mid-18th century and they remained popular.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11However, budgets did not remain high,
0:14:11 > 0:14:15and as they got a little stretched over the next couple of centuries,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19these dirks moved from normal weaponry, sidearms,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23to ceremonial pieces for the full Highland regalia.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25Now, you might have noticed that
0:14:25 > 0:14:30this dirk is particularly dazzling and that it is.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33This is mounted with hallmarked silver.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35Those hallmarks are on the back.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40You'll see them there. They're for 1924 and, brilliantly,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42they are from my home town of Glasgow.
0:14:42 > 0:14:43Now, another thing that tells us
0:14:43 > 0:14:48this is a Glasgow dirk is the maker's mark. G&J Morgan.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49That's George and John Morgan.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51And they've gone all out.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Look at the top here.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58Seriously beautiful leaves - acanthus leaves -
0:14:58 > 0:15:01and then you move down to the leather hilt and you'll see these
0:15:01 > 0:15:05beautifully crafted thistles, of course,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08the Scottish symbol of the thistle, in really high relief.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11So it's a bit of a dazzler, actually.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15This style is known as en-suite and what that basically means is you've
0:15:15 > 0:15:18got the dagger and a couple of extra bits.
0:15:18 > 0:15:24We've got a fork and - not for stabbing, but for eating -
0:15:24 > 0:15:25another knife.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Now, because I've removed that knife,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31the real splendour of the hilt and the handle are revealed.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Gordon Highlanders.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38So we know it's military but now we know which regiment this has been
0:15:38 > 0:15:42used in. The Gordon Highlanders, such an important Scottish regiment.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44And to whom did it belong?
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Well, let me show you. On the back, we've got some initials.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51KG O'M.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Now, you might think, O'M, that's got to be O'Malley,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57which sounds Irish, and, yes, the soldier was an Irishman.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00But not O'Malley, O'Murchu.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04Kenneth Gibbon O'Murchu, who was born in 1894 in Dublin.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And, at the age of 19, he joined the army.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12Starting in the First World War, he saw service in France and Belgium.
0:16:12 > 0:16:17But it was in 1922 he moved to the Gordon Highlanders to become a
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Lieutenant Colonel.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Now we know what it's made of, to whom it belonged,
0:16:23 > 0:16:25we know when it was made, but what's it worth?
0:16:25 > 0:16:30Well, I would say, at auction, £1,500 to £2,000.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34And I hope that you'll agree it's a fitting high value indeed.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Back to the shopping. The teams only have 20 minutes remaining.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42The Reds are on the home straight with their final piece to purchase.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45The Blues, however, are playing catch up with two items to find.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50- We'd better move.- I know we've got to move but I'm panicking.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Don't panic, keep cool. - Yeah, we'll keep cool.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Speaking of cool...
0:16:55 > 0:16:58Absorb the atmosphere,
0:16:58 > 0:17:00find that piece of wood.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Talk about laid-back, Reds.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06And if you spot something, you know, kind of point us...
0:17:06 > 0:17:08- In that direction?- Yes.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Right, come on, Blues, time to get that second item under your belt.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The birdcage, I did actually see that, it's quite nice.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Vintage ebonised birdcage.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22I quite feel that this could be a great decorator's piece.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Decorator's piece being something
0:17:24 > 0:17:27that's just used as a nice decorative piece.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It does not necessarily have to be old. What do you like about it?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Well, I like it, whatever, you know, as a thing, if you like.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38It's a birdcage. But you would obviously not use it as a birdcage,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41but there are many uses... People would like that.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44I'm sure they could put it to several different uses.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- Good point.- I like the form of it.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I think it's architectural.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51And I think Ian's quite clever to have spotted that.
0:17:51 > 0:17:56I like that. What could we get it for? It's 78. Would he do 50?
0:17:56 > 0:17:59You sound a lot like myself, you do, Ian,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but I don't think he's going to go to 50, to be honest.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04From 78, were talking about 70, aren't we?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I tell you what, keep on admiring it,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09and I'm going to go and see if I can get a real good price on it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Good man.- OK. I'll see you shortly. - Good luck.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It certainly sounds promising, team.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Let's just hope the price is right.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Meanwhile, has Gary come up trumps for the Reds?
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Feast your eyes
0:18:21 > 0:18:24on this.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26- That's really pretty, isn't it? - It's been overpainted.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- Yeah, yeah.- Strangely enough.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- Would that strip off? - It certainly would.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33If you strip that down to the original colour...
0:18:33 > 0:18:40- Yeah?- That, along with this central frame here,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44which is made of embossed brass
0:18:44 > 0:18:47in the Aesthetic style
0:18:47 > 0:18:49encloses...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- A bevelled mirror. - Another bevelled mirror.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54We're into bevelled mirrors today, aren't we?
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I think they're impressed, Gary.
0:18:56 > 0:19:01Arts and Crafts movement, 1890 to about 1915.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Think of the possibilities.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Strip that down.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- Yeah.- 28 quid. Isn't that amazing? - That is ridiculously cheap.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- That's very cheap, isn't it?- I mean, that is...
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- For a mirror, yeah.- That is a steal.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16- What you think?- Could we get it cheaper, do you think?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18I think it's your turn to barter, isn't it?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- My turn to barter.- I did it. I did the last two. It's your turn.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- Show us what you can do. - OK.- Right. 28.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- 20.- 20. We want 20.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- Try, anyway.- I'll do my best.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Well done, Gary. Let's just hope Mike can seal the deal.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Speaking of which, Danny's back with a price for the birdcage.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Eh. Good news.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Good news. I've spoke to the assistant
0:19:43 > 0:19:47and they said the very best they could do is £65.
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Now, to be honest with you,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51I think there's room at auction for this to make a little profit.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53We buy things we like,
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- don't we? I like that. - Shall we buy it?- Yep.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Yes, OK. We've got one more item to buy,
0:20:00 > 0:20:04so let's go and find it and get this wrapped up.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Lead on, Macduff.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Nice one, Blues, that's your second item.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12But remember, that clock is still ticking. Ten minutes left.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Back to the Reds, where Gary and Michelle
0:20:16 > 0:20:17are playing the waiting game.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19I don't think he will get it for 20.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- I don't think so.- Oh, here he is. - Good news. They'll do it for 20.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24- You're wrong.- Oh, no, I said you wouldn't.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26I said you'd have paid more for it.
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- I said you get embarrassed when I do it.- Well, guys, we've done it.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Three items.- Yeah, yeah. - Yeah. In style, as well.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35In good time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Yeah.- We're off to auction.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Brilliant.- Away we go. Excellent.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Cool, calm and collected. Well done, Reds.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48I'm very impressed. However, back with the Blues...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51Do you see anything that you think...
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Nothing's jumping out at me.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Come on, team, you only have three minutes left.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Is there anything that takes your fancy?
0:21:02 > 0:21:05The magnifying glass.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- The wine stoppers.- I like the wine stoppers.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11I think we're going to have to rush and make a decision here.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13You certainly have taste, team.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16All hallmarked solid silver items.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Well, I think they're all pretty much of a muchness, really,
0:21:19 > 0:21:20to be quite honest with you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23It's whether or not you think it's more favourable
0:21:23 > 0:21:25with the shooting or the magnifying.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29Down to personal preference here, really, I believe.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Well, the thing is, you'd want the two of those,
0:21:31 > 0:21:33which is going to push the cost up.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36Because I think they'd be better as a pair.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Hallmarked silver wine stoppers, made in Birmingham.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42However, they are modern pieces, team. One minute left.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Let's make a decision and go for the magnifying glass.
0:21:46 > 0:21:47I think it's all right.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50No chips on it that I can see.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Better let Danny have a look at it, with his eagle eye.
0:21:53 > 0:21:58It does look very modern but it's nice and crisp and clean. £28.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02The silver-handled magnifying glass, again, is a modern piece,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06made in Sheffield in 1989 by the silversmiths Harrison Brothers.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09What's the absolute best you can do this for, please, Albert?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11- You're running out of time! - It's got 28.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Could I give a cheeky bid?
0:22:13 > 0:22:17We would do 25 without any hesitation.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23- Shall we go 22? All the twos? - Go on, then, 22.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25- Shake the man's hand. - Thank you, Albert.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28- Again.- You're welcome. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31I hope you found some treasure, teams. Your time's up.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34That's us, just finished with about a second to spare.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- That's all right.- Isn't it always the way?
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Well, it is when you're working with me.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45First up was Michelle's find, the powder compact.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Price paid - £40.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51Next, it took a bit of convincing,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54but Gary's ice bucket set them back £9.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58And, finally, Mike was determined to
0:22:58 > 0:23:01find a piece of wood and the Arts and Crafts mirror cost him £20.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Well, Mike and Michelle,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06you weren't expecting to get along so well as a Red team.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- It was all very harmonious, wasn't it?- Not one bicker at all.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- Gary was the peacemaker.- Yes, he's known for that, he's known for that.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Now, Mike, of the three items that you bought,
0:23:16 > 0:23:18which would you say is your favourite?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Oh, the mirror.- The mirror, because it's got the most wood in it?
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Yeah. The only bit of wood we got, yeah.- You didn't pay a lot for it,
0:23:24 > 0:23:27so do you think it's going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30No, I think what I call the spittoon will.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32- The ice bucket.- Yeah.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The cheapest item is hopefully going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Yeah, I think so.- Michelle, do you agree
0:23:37 > 0:23:39that the mirror's your favourite, or...
0:23:39 > 0:23:42No, I think the silver compact. I love the silver compact.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46I just thought it was so classy, so simple and classy. It was lovely.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48OK. And your biggest splurge, as well.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50- Yes.- So is that going to bring the biggest profit?
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Do you know what? Probably not.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58No, I can't make up my mind between the baked bean tin and the mirror.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I think between one of those.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02So just to clarify, the spittoon and the baked bean tin,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04- that's the ice bucket?- Yeah.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Gary, you know, you loved that ice bucket.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11- Is that hard to take?- When I showed them that £10 price tag,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15they were convinced. Better yet, they got it down to nine.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19Right, OK, you only spent £69, so who's got 231?
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- I've got it in my pocket.- Right, Mike, hand it over.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Here we are, 230. - 230 should be.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30Yeah. And the one. Right, Gary. So what are you going to spend it on?
0:24:30 > 0:24:34I think I'll buy something that has flowing elements to it.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37- Right.- A touch of the orient in a western setting.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Well, it sounds as though Gary has a good idea what he's going to buy.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45So let him do that and we'll remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50First up, the carved hare ornament set them back £45.
0:24:51 > 0:24:54Next, the wooden birdcage cost them £65.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58And, finally, with only seconds to spare,
0:24:58 > 0:25:01the silver-handled magnifying glass cost them £22.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Well, Ian and Anne, we got there,
0:25:04 > 0:25:08- because that was a bit close, wasn't it?- It was.- Yeah.- Seconds.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12Now, of those three items, Ian, which was your favourite?
0:25:12 > 0:25:14I think possibly the birdcage.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18Ah, right, OK. Your most expensive buy.
0:25:18 > 0:25:19OK, so it's your favourite.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22But, of the three, is it going to bring the biggest profit at auction?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24I don't think so.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I've got a sneaking feeling the magnifying glass might.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Ah, that was your last-minute purchase.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- That's right.- OK. Cool. Hopefully it will pay off.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Anne, do you agree with Ian - the birdcage, is that your favourite?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37No, I've got a soft spot for the rabbit.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41Cos he was just so lovely. I would have liked to have had him myself.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- I had a feeling you were going to say that.- I would've cherished him.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Oh, gosh, well, you're going to have to let him go.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Now, what do you think is going to bring the biggest profit?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51The magnifying glass was the cheapest thing,
0:25:51 > 0:25:53and so I think it stands a better chance.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56And what did you spend? £132 in total?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- 132.- OK, so who is in possession of 168?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04- I am.- I should've known, Ian, it's you. Right.- 60 and 3 more.
0:26:04 > 0:26:10There we are, Danny. £168. What are you going to buy Ian and Anne?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Something that might bring music to your ears.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16So while Danny goes to find his bonus buy,
0:26:16 > 0:26:18it's time for us to head straight to the auction.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Well, we've hopped over from Topsham to Ottery St Mary and I'm here with
0:26:31 > 0:26:34David Sumner of Ottery Auction Rooms.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36David, thank you so much for having Bargain Hunt along.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- It's a pleasure.- We'll start with the Reds, we always do,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43and here we have the choices of Mike and Michelle, led by Gary.
0:26:43 > 0:26:48Now, let's start off with this beautiful silver compact.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Nicely worked, it's got its hallmarks underneath,
0:26:51 > 0:26:53everything you want from the silver compact, right?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57It's very nice. Wonderful engine-turned decoration.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58You can see the hallmarks.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03They're very, very small, but it's a quality piece.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- What do you think someone will pay for such a nice piece?- £25 to £35.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08OK, well, we're on the cusp there,
0:27:08 > 0:27:13because Mike and Michelle paid £40 for it and, let me tell you,
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Michelle loved it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17She loved it, so she'll be hoping for a profit on that.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20And then Gary sort of had to talk them into this one.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22The ice bucket.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Summertime, stick a bottle of champagne in there,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27a bottle of Chablis.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29It's a useful thing.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32Stainless steel. About £5, £10.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Well, they only paid £9 for it. So it's all right.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36It was cheap and cheerful and, hopefully,
0:27:36 > 0:27:38there will be a couple of pounds in it for them.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Now, when we're talking cheap and cheerful, we do not think of Vienna,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46the Ringstrasse in the 1880s, 1890s.
0:27:46 > 0:27:50And that's what this mirror screams of, doesn't it?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It's just absolutely gorgeous.
0:27:52 > 0:27:53Do you love it as much as I do?
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I do. Aesthetic movement.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58It's got that Japanese influence.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01My only failing with it is someone has painted it.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Why?- I know, shocking, shocking.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07However, you've got this beautiful repousse work brass design
0:28:07 > 0:28:10with exotic birds and flowers.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13A lovely good-quality bevelled glass mirror.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Good period piece.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- How much?- 40-60.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19They only paid £20 for it,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22so they will be absolutely chuffed and hopefully your buyers will, too,
0:28:22 > 0:28:25because they are going to come away with something gorgeous.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Right, it sounds like David thinks there is a potential for profit, so,
0:28:29 > 0:28:33just in case, let's find out what Gary bought as a bonus buy.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Michelle, Mike.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39You didn't spend a lot, which means that Gary was left a lot.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41And I don't know about you, but I'm itching
0:28:41 > 0:28:44to find out what's beneath the red cloth.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46An earthenware platter.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50From the 1850s, English, in blue and white, obviously,
0:28:50 > 0:28:54with a pattern called Tonquin.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55What the Staffordshire potteries
0:28:55 > 0:28:58were trying to do around that time was to copy
0:28:58 > 0:29:03the more expensive porcelain wares coming out of the Far East.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Look at the condition of this piece.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07Barely a scratch.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09It's not particularly crisp, is it?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- Now, this is it.- It's very blurry.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Very, very good.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16This technique is called flow blue.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19So sort of a bit dreamlike quality.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- Exactly. There you go. - Rather than blurry.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24It flows.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26How much have you spent?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29I paid £29.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30No!
0:29:31 > 0:29:34For a piece that is 150 years old.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- Fantastic.- In this condition, I think that is a bargain.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40We absolutely love it now, don't we? Love it!
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Well, Reds, you don't need to go with the flow just yet,
0:29:44 > 0:29:47so it's time to find out what our auctioneer David
0:29:47 > 0:29:49thinks of Gary's meat platter.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Now, Gary had loads of money to spend
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and this is what he spent some, but not all of it, on.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57So, what do you think of this lovely...
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I would call it an ashet or meat charger.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- What do you reckon?- Very nice charger. Yeah. Flow blue.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Good period piece. Tonquin pattern.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09There's a couple of little glazing flaws,
0:30:09 > 0:30:12but that's not later damage, that's done in production.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16If you're going to buy a piece of flow blue, this is the piece to buy.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18I mean, it stands out, doesn't it?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21It's so rich in its colour and it really is quite striking.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23What do you reckon your buyers will want to pay for it?
0:30:23 > 0:30:25It should do about 15-25.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27OK. Well, Gary, in that case, has done quite well,
0:30:27 > 0:30:32because he paid £29 for it and he absolutely loves it, so, hopefully,
0:30:32 > 0:30:36it will fly away. From our blue charger, we go to the Blue team.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Ian and Anne, delightful.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40And talking of delightful, that's exactly
0:30:40 > 0:30:42how Anne described this hare.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Now, do you think your buyers will find it delightful, too?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47Definitely. I think it's utterly charming.
0:30:47 > 0:30:48It's not old,
0:30:48 > 0:30:50but I love it.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Absolutely love it. I think it will do 15-25, at least.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56They paid a fair bit more. £45, the Blue team paid.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58So, hopefully, your optimism will
0:30:58 > 0:31:02come in the form of some excellent bids.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06The hare was Anne's favourite item, but Ian's was the birdcage.
0:31:06 > 0:31:07But I think... Can you confirm to us?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09None of us thought it had any age at all.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12No, it's straight off the boat.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14OK, so you think it has come from the Far East, perhaps?
0:31:14 > 0:31:16It has, yeah. It's a very nice thing.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Concertina shape, good interior design piece.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20Estimate about 20-25.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22They paid even more for this than they did for the hare.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25£65 for the birdcage.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28So you might have your work cut out.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- I think I will.- But all hope is not lost,
0:31:30 > 0:31:34because both Ian and Anne agree the most profitable item is going to be
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- this hallmarked silver magnifying glass.- Very pretty. 1989.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Harrison Brothers. Again, useful item.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Should make about 18 - £25.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47OK, well, Ian and Anne thought this would be their most profitable item,
0:31:47 > 0:31:51but they paid 22, which is slap bang in the middle of your estimate.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54So it sounds as though David is a wee bit worried about the Blues,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56but don't worry, Danny is here to help.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Let's find out what he bought as a bonus buy.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- Are you excited?- We are excited.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05But it's not quite what we thought, I'm sure of that.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08- Oh.- Oh.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11What I found is this lovely little trivet stand.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Solid brass, great gauge, very heavy.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18And I thought we might need a little bit of luck, so...
0:32:18 > 0:32:20it's in the shape of a clover.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Early 20th century.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25I think it can complement any kitchen.
0:32:25 > 0:32:26Kitchenalia is always in.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30I just think it's practical as well as beautiful.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- Yes.- What do you think?- May I?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34Absolutely.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38- Gosh.- There's a bit of weight to it.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41What I like about this older brass,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43it's a better colour, isn't it?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45It's more mellow.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48One's thing for sure, you won't say no when I give you the price that I
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- paid for it.- How much did you pay?
0:32:51 > 0:32:53- £4.- Wow!
0:32:53 > 0:32:54That's a steal.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57It was a steal. It was just one of them,
0:32:57 > 0:32:59I just thought, for what it is...
0:32:59 > 0:33:01Yes. That's good. That's very good.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03That is really a clever buy, isn't it?
0:33:03 > 0:33:08I'd like to think that could make 20, maybe even £25.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10- Well pleased with that.- You love it,
0:33:10 > 0:33:13but you don't need to make your minds up just yet.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Let's head back to the auction to
0:33:14 > 0:33:17find out what David thinks of Danny's trivet.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Now, we think the Blues might need a wee bit of luck.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22So perhaps this should have been a four-leaf
0:33:22 > 0:33:24and not three-leaf trivet,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26but, David, that is a cool bit of kitchenalia, isn't it?
0:33:26 > 0:33:31Very much so. Late 19th, early 20th century.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36It's brass or almost like gunmetal, actually.
0:33:36 > 0:33:38Yeah, about £15 to £20.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41And it's just a gorgeous thing and guess what Danny paid for it?
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- £4.- Profit, profit, profit.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Is that what you predict from the rostrum today?
0:33:47 > 0:33:49- I certainly hope so.- Fantastic.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52Well, in that case, David, take it away.
0:33:52 > 0:33:5528. 30. 32. 32.
0:33:55 > 0:33:5935. 38. 38. 40. 42.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Right, Reds, here we are, auction time.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Terrifying, isn't it?- Yeah, a bit worrying.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11You can hear the hammer just going down, flying through them.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13So what's your first one? You've got that powder compact.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15This was your fave. Fingers crossed.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- Fingers crossed.- You paid £40. Here it comes. All right.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It's a silver powder compact with engine-turned decoration.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23This is a really good quality piece.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Someone start me away at £30.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29£30. £20, then.
0:34:29 > 0:34:3110 I'm bid. Cheeky bid at 10.
0:34:31 > 0:34:3312. 15. 18.
0:34:33 > 0:34:3720. 20. 22.
0:34:37 > 0:34:3825, sir?
0:34:38 > 0:34:4025. 28. I'm out.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Looking for £28. 28.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43Fresh face in the room at 28.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- 30.- Oh, come on.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Not at 30. Internet.
0:34:47 > 0:34:4930. 32, madam?
0:34:49 > 0:34:5332. I'm selling, in the room, at £32.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Oh!- Small loss to start us off.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00It sold for 32, you paid 40, so it is a loss of 8.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05But worry not, your favourite lot is coming up, your £9 ice bucket.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Lot 86 is this 20th-century
0:35:08 > 0:35:11twin handled plated ice bucket there.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Lovely thing. Somebody start me away at £5.
0:35:13 > 0:35:155. Thank you.
0:35:15 > 0:35:168. £8 for this lot.
0:35:16 > 0:35:188 I'm bid. 10.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Not at 10. Fresh face at 10.
0:35:20 > 0:35:2312 and I'm out. Looking for £12 for this lot.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25£12. Let's move to the internet.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27Any interest on the internet at 12?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29I'm selling at the back of the room.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31- £10.- Oh.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33- Well done.- It's a profit.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36£1. So you are now minus 7.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40- Worth getting £1 off. - But this is a real cracker.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Beautiful Aesthetic Movement mirror.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45£20 paid. This has got to see a profit.
0:35:45 > 0:35:51This truly wonderful late 19th century Aesthetic Movement brass and
0:35:51 > 0:35:53wood-framed mirror. Start me away at £20.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Oh, come on. £20. 15, then.
0:35:55 > 0:35:5815. 18. 20. 22.
0:35:58 > 0:36:0025. 28. 28.
0:36:00 > 0:36:0430. 32. 32. 35. 38.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Not at 38.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Looking for £38.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I'll move to the internet. £38.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Fresh face at 38. 40.
0:36:11 > 0:36:1442. 45. 48.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Not at 48, but thank you for your bids.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Looking for £48 for this lot.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Last chance, internet. 48.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I'm selling at the back of the room for £45.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- Brilliant.- Well done. More than doubled.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32How good does that feel? You've made a profit of £25 on that.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Which means, overall, you are plus...
0:36:37 > 0:36:3918. Plus 18.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41How good is that? You're in profit.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43Are we going to go with the bonus buy?
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Definitely going to go with it. - Definitely going to go with it.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Ah. I'd like your enthusiasm for the flow blue.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Gary paid £29.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54So anything more than that is more profit. Here it comes.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Very nice 19th-century flow blue and white Tonquin pattern
0:36:58 > 0:37:00charger, showing there.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01Loads of interest in this.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03I've got conflicting bids.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06I've got to jump straight in at £38 with me.
0:37:06 > 0:37:0840 with me.
0:37:08 > 0:37:1040. 42. 45.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Not at 45. 45 anywhere in the room?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Before I move to the internet.
0:37:14 > 0:37:1745. 48. I'm out.
0:37:17 > 0:37:21Looking for £48. I'm selling at the back of the room, £45.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Gary has just added £16 to your running total,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27which means that, overall,
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Reds, plus 34.- Fantastic.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- How good is that?- We can get some chips tonight!
0:37:35 > 0:37:36Chips?
0:37:44 > 0:37:47First item is your favourite, Anne, the hare.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- I like it.- You'll be sad to see him go to someone else.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53But you will be chuffed if they pay good money for him.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Right, get ready, Blues, here comes your first item.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57I've got loads of interest in this.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I can jump straight in at £20.
0:37:59 > 0:38:0122, will you?
0:38:01 > 0:38:0322. 22. 25. 28.
0:38:03 > 0:38:0730. 32.
0:38:07 > 0:38:0935. 38.
0:38:09 > 0:38:1140. 42.
0:38:11 > 0:38:1345. 48. Madam, 48?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15One more, might get it.
0:38:15 > 0:38:1948. 50. 55.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22Not at 55. Fresh face at 55.
0:38:22 > 0:38:2360. 65.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Last chance. It is my commission bid.
0:38:26 > 0:38:30£60! Blues! Great work.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34Now you don't miss it so much, do you? No, it's just made you £15.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38So, all eyes on the wooden birdcage. Your favourite, Ian.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41This is a 20th-century Chinese wooden birdcage.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Pretty little lot, this. Put your aspidistra in there.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Who will start me away at £30?
0:38:46 > 0:38:47£20, then.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- It's got to be worth that. £20? - Oh, come on.- 15, then.
0:38:50 > 0:38:5115 I'm bid. 18.
0:38:51 > 0:38:5418. 20. 22.
0:38:54 > 0:38:5522. 25.
0:38:55 > 0:38:5725. 28. 30.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00I'm selling in the room at £28.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Oh!- That's a stinger.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06- Not so good. I thought it might make more.- You did, you did.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- And so did we, actually. - I did, yeah.- 28.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12Now, that's a loss of £37.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14This is it, we need to magnify those profits.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17Here comes the magnifying glass. You paid 22.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20A silver-handled magnifying glass.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22This is Harrison Brothers, 1989.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I can jump straight in at 12. 15, will you?
0:39:25 > 0:39:2615. 15.
0:39:26 > 0:39:2818. 20.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Yes. 20. 22. 25.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33This is your last chance.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35My commission bid will buy at 22.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- Oh.- Wiped its face!
0:39:37 > 0:39:40That's what they say, yes.
0:39:40 > 0:39:4522 means no profit, no loss, so you're still minus 22.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47That's where you've landed after your three.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52However, it's not over until Danny's had a chance to sell his bonus buy.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56And are you going to go with it, or are you going to stick at minus 22?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- We're definitely going to go with it.- Yes.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00Is that a unanimous decision?
0:40:00 > 0:40:03It is, absolutely. We decided before we...
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Oh, brilliant. Oh, brilliant.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- It is a good buy.- So, going with the bonus buy.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Here comes your trefoil trivet.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Late 19th-century brass trefoil-shaped trivet.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17Nice lot, this. Loads of conflicting bids.
0:40:17 > 0:40:18I can jump straight in at £35.
0:40:18 > 0:40:2138. 40.
0:40:21 > 0:40:2242. 42.
0:40:22 > 0:40:2345. 48.
0:40:23 > 0:40:2550. 55.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Not at 55.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- I'm looking for 55.- 55!
0:40:28 > 0:40:3055. 60.
0:40:30 > 0:40:3265. 70. 75.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33Not at 75.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35I'm looking for 75 for this lot.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38My commission bid is going to buy.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40£70.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43£70. £70 for a trivet.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45That has to be a world record, I'm telling you.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49That's a profit of 66 on the trivet,
0:40:49 > 0:40:53which means you are now in profit overall. £44.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- Brilliant.- Well done.
0:40:56 > 0:40:57Well done, Danny.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59- Thank you, mate.- You're welcome.
0:40:59 > 0:41:01But you have to promise me something.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- I won't tell anybody. - You have to promise me
0:41:04 > 0:41:07- you won't say anything to the Reds. - Not a word.- OK.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14Who's the more nervous team?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16You both look terrified to me.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20You each go away with folding money.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- ALL:- Oh!
0:41:22 > 0:41:23£10 between you.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25- Wow.- Oh.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29But in whose favour?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32The suspense is terrible.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35Let me tell you, our runners-up today...
0:41:35 > 0:41:36the Reds.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41£34 profit versus the Blues' £44 profit.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Well done, Reds, of course.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47We are all winners, really, aren't we?
0:41:47 > 0:41:50It's excellent when everyone makes money.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- It's even better when you get to hold it in your hand.- Oh, thank you.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55There you are, Michelle, £30.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58And let's not forget those all-important four pound coins.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59And you've had a great time, Mike?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- We have, yeah.- You go home runners-up,
0:42:01 > 0:42:05- but with money in your pocket, so I applaud you.- That's excellent.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07But let's turn to today's winners.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09The Blues. Ian and Anne, well done.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12With a profit of £44.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15So there's the 40 and there's the 4.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16And, dare I say it,
0:42:16 > 0:42:20you were unlikely victors because you were minus 22
0:42:20 > 0:42:22after your first three items.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26But, get this, Danny's bonus buy, purchased for £4,
0:42:26 > 0:42:29made a £66 profit,
0:42:29 > 0:42:32and sold for 70.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36So kudos to Danny.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39We came for the fun, we came for the interest, and we got plenty of it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Oh, I'm so pleased to hear that.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Anne, you must be chuffed? - I am, I'm really thrilled.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Oh, fantastic.
0:42:45 > 0:42:49It was great to see that you could rely on your expert in the end.
