0:00:02 > 0:00:03ALARM BELL RINGS
0:00:12 > 0:00:15MUSIC: Pjanoo by Eric Prydz
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Well, I think I'm just about ready. Are you?
0:00:29 > 0:00:31It's time to get the show on the road.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32Let's go bargain hunting!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Welcome to the International Ardingly Antiques Fair.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06And crikey, do we have a show for you today!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09This place is absolutely ginormous.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11I hope today's teams are limbering up
0:01:11 > 0:01:13as they've got a lot of ground to cover.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15So, let's take a shufti at what's coming up.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21There's some awkward negotiations with the Reds.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24We're looking, like, below 100.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Ooh! Ooh, I wouldn't dare!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31The Blues don't see eye to eye with their expert.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35I really don't see anybody at all in this universe, on this planet,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- buying that at auction.- Fine, sorry.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Awkward.
0:01:41 > 0:01:43And over at the auction, things get a bit heated.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Yeah, all right. Rub it in!
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Whilst some just can't believe it!
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- HE YELPS - Yes! Good start.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59But that's all coming up later. First, it's time to meet our teams.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02For the Reds, we've got father and daughter Neil and Rachel
0:02:02 > 0:02:04and for the Blues, friends Dani and Dan.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Welcome, everyone. Hello.- Hello!
0:02:07 > 0:02:10Now, I'll turn to you first, Reds. Neil, tell us about your day job.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13I'm a paramedic for a local Ambulance Service.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15It must be a rewarding job and it must throw up
0:02:15 > 0:02:17some rather interesting situations.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Plenty to talk about down the pub, I'm sure?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22There was one particular patient that unfortunately had fallen
0:02:22 > 0:02:25over in the garden. We got the stretcher, got it underneath him.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29And as I stepped back, I stepped straight into his goldfish pond.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Oh, dear!- I had a wet soggy leg for the rest of the shift, but yeah.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Now, Rachel, when it comes to your career,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37I believe you're a bit of a chip off the old block?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Yeah, now I'm working for the Ambulance Service as well.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42OK, so what's your specific role?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44So, it's called an emergency care support worker.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48So, I work with paramedics and support them in their role, really.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52Go out driving on emergency vehicles and we actually work together
0:02:52 > 0:02:54sometimes as well, on ambulances.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58So, you can have the father-daughter duo on the road as well.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Responding to the calls, yeah.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01What are your tactics going to be today?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Now, Rachel is expert at negotiation.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- So, I'm leaving all that up to her. - Where does that come from?
0:03:07 > 0:03:11I think mostly from being on holiday in Turkey.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- A-ha.- And having to haggle down for those nice handbags.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Trying to get the best price for those.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So, yeah, I'm going to use my experience to try and get
0:03:19 > 0:03:20some good prices today.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Oh, fantastic, cool.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23Well, I wish you the best of luck but now it's time
0:03:23 > 0:03:25to meet the competition.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- Now, the Blues. Dani, Dan. - Hello.- Hi!
0:03:28 > 0:03:31So, tell me, Dani, what is it you do for a living?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33I work in community engagement as a freelancer.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36So, I've set up chicken houses and care homes for older people,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40I've done community theatre for people in recovery from addiction.
0:03:40 > 0:03:41Mostly focusing on the arts
0:03:41 > 0:03:44but working with a really broad range of people.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Dan, it sounds like you have a very interesting friend in Dani.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Tell me, how did you two meet?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We met when we both worked as tour guides for the Museum of London.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53I was the Great Fire Of London, Dani was Prehistoric
0:03:53 > 0:03:55and we sort of hit it off from there really, didn't we?
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Tell me, Dan, do you ever tread the boards yourself?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59I do occasionally, Tash.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Dani directed me in a production of Cabaret, which was on
0:04:02 > 0:04:05at the School of Oriental and African Studies last month.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07That was all for charity.
0:04:07 > 0:04:08And I believe that sometimes
0:04:08 > 0:04:10you inadvertently get involved in productions, too.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Oh, Tash, it was such a palaver.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13I was backstage at the National Theatre.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15I was there for a meeting.
0:04:15 > 0:04:16And I left the meeting slightly early,
0:04:16 > 0:04:18it was about eight o'clock in the evening.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20And I was wondering about, trying to leave,
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and there's all these different corridors that you walk through
0:04:23 > 0:04:25and I thought I'm just going to open a door, see what happens.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Open a door and I walked straight onto the stage during a show.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I saw all these people in costume giving me a dirty look.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Just managed to retreat very carefully and find my other way out.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Now, tell me, what do you two think you're going to be like
0:04:36 > 0:04:38as the Blue team? How was Dani as a director?
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Well, I learned that I just had to accept what Dani had to say,
0:04:41 > 0:04:43even if I thought different.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So, I guess that is going to continue onto the Ardingly Fair.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Wouldn't you say, Dani? - Suits me.- Yeah!- Happy with that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51And are you going to spend big, do you reckon?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54In for a penny, in for a pound. That's our mentality.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Talking of pounds, I've got 300 of them in each pocket.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So, Rachel, for the Reds, 300.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02And, Dani, for the Blues, £300.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Now, off you go, your experts can't wait to meet you.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Well, no matter what happens,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I think we can safely say there will be some drama today.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14The teams are going to need a helping hand along the way.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Caroline Hawley is hoping to catch a few bargains with the Reds.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24And trying to turn a big profit for the Blues, it's Tim Weeks.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- So, Rachel, what are you looking for?- Maybe trains?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- They're quite collectable. - Trains? OK.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I think we're after something kitsch, fun.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Unconventional, but also something you can take home and show your mum.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40You know you can't buy me.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I think I'd like a nice piece of glassware, maybe some Lalique,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- if possible.- Right!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Things that are baking themed, maybe.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Things you can drink your cocktails out of.- Kitchenalia.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Yeah, something retro and vintage sounds fine to me as well.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- OK, I like the sound of it. - MOOING
0:05:54 > 0:05:58You heard her. Get a moo-ve on, teams! Your 60 minutes start now.
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Let's go find them.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Ready? Let's go.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Well, that's an eclectic mix on today's shopping list.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Good luck, teams.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- The train's going to bring in the big money, I think.- Right.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Hmm, not sure Caroline is convinced.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20- What about that cute little junior Penny Farthing?- No! Nonsense.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22That's me told.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25There's no messing with you, Dani.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28I have a feeling there may be trouble in the blue camp today.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- We talked about colour.- Yes. - And a bit of vibrancy.- Mm-hm.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Have a look, propped up against the lorry there.- What are they?
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- They come straight off the carnival. - I think so.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Yeah, off the merry-go-round. - Very collectable area.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Could be a lot of money in it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Do you like that sort of colour or is that...?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46I really don't see anybody at all in this universe,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- on this planet, buying that at auction.- Fine, OK.- Sorry.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Awkward. That told you, Tim.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It's lacking that certain something, isn't it?
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- I mean, would you have that in your home, Tim?- Absolutely not.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58- There we go.- Good point.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03I'm loving this team. Certainly no holding back today, I feel.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07Back inside with the Reds, who are on track with their shopping list.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- Oh, look, there's a train over here. - Oh, my goodness, there is!
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- And that's in the original box as well.- Is that a good thing?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- To have the box with it?- Yeah. - Very much so.- OK.
0:07:19 > 0:07:20But have a look at the train.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23You can see there's a little bit of paint loss.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Which you'd expect that.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Yeah, you would. - If it was of reasonable age.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- But I would think it's sort of '50s.- Hmm.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31The price on it's 195, Caroline.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- It's quite a lot of our budget. - It's a lot of money.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think it needs to be quite a bit less than that, really.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40But it's great that it's got the box. And it's in good condition.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Can you hold that a minute?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46But will the box convince Dad to get on board with the train?
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- It's Tri-ang as well, so it's a good make, isn't it?- It is.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54- For girls and boys.- Hmm, unisex. - You'll be all right there.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- Girls and boys, you see? - The whole market.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58And the wheels are all intact.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02- Do you think they're the original ones?- Yes, I'm sure they are.- OK.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06So, 195. What do you think we should ask for?
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- What do you think you should offer? - Is going to 100...?- Ooh, 100!
0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Rachel!- Is that too low to start with?
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Good luck with that, Rach. - She's good.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- Well, it's a starting price. I don't think they'll accept that.- No.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Are you going to go and do the deal? - I'll see what we can get for it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:26Yes! Good luck.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30All the best, Rachel.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Meanwhile, with the Blues, Tim's looking rather excited.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38- What about some retro lighting? - What age is that? '70s we'd say?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- '70s, '80s, might creep into the '80s.- Yeah.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43It was actually as early as 1932
0:08:43 > 0:08:47that the Anglepoise was first produced by George Carwardine.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49- It's a good example in good condition.- Hmm, it is.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Have a look at it. Does the Anglepoise work nicely?
0:08:53 > 0:08:56- What do you think?- I think we should make an enquiry.- Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Can we ask about your lamp? - Yes, certainly.- Thank you.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Anglepoise 90, I believe. Yeah, I think that's a '70s lamp.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08- £65.- 65.- Hmm.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12We do like it but 65 is a bit more than...
0:09:12 > 0:09:14What's your very best that you might be able to offer us
0:09:14 > 0:09:17if I smiled at you and gave you a wink?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19'Oh, steady on there!'
0:09:19 > 0:09:20How about 55?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23We were thinking like closer to the 35...
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Yeah.- Top mark, 35.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- I couldn't go that low. - Would it be possible at 37?
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- We'd skip merrily down the street at 37.- We would.- 45?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37It would have to start with a three. If you want to make profit.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39But you can't buy at 45 because you wouldn't make money.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- 40, shall I come down? - Could it start with a three? 39.- 39.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- Go on then, let's do it.- Yes!- I think that's fair, yeah? Happy?- Ace.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Your first a buy of the day.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52'Check these two out. Nice work.'
0:09:52 > 0:09:53- Put it there.- Yes!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Well done, thank you, sir. Right, let's go. On to the next, guys.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Hang on a minute. You said you'd be skipping merrily down the road.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- I did!- Let's link, then.- Let's go. - Come on, then. Skip away.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06Whilst the Blues skip off to find their next two items,
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Rachel is back with a price for the train.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- So, I've done a bit of negotiation. - Yes?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13He's kind of agreeing on 145.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- I like the train.- I think we'll be lucky to make a profit.- Hmm.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20But if you want, that's half our money gone.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I think it is a little bit high.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27Just ask him if he can do another fiver, 140 and we'll take it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I'll try but he is really solid on the 145.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32- So, we'll try.- I bet he is.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I think you may well be on your own with this one, Rachel.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Haggling skills at the ready.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40So, she's very good at negotiating, is she?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I found that out when, very recently,
0:10:43 > 0:10:47she negotiates for handbags in Turkey.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- So, exactly! She's very good.- Right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52Sounds promising. Oh, here she comes!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55- He'll do 140, we've got a deal. - There you go.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00- So, 140.- You see, the charm, I worked my charm, we got it down.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- It's still half of our money. - Well done!- Thank you.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well, it's not quite that 50% discount you wanted,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10but a discount nevertheless.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Back to the Blues.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Tim, I'd quite like this red box thing over here.- OK.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I mean, it doesn't look that special but, to me,
0:11:17 > 0:11:19I can see this in a contemporary bedroom
0:11:19 > 0:11:21with maybe a laptop on top of it.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24You put your underwear and socks and bits and pieces in there.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28Underwear? I'm not sure about that one, Dan.
0:11:28 > 0:11:29You put your pants in there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31It's a lot more rustic than I anticipated.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- It's got rustic charm, hasn't it? - Yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Rustic? More like a rusty, and it doesn't even have a price on it.
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Let's not pooh-pooh it just yet.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Because industrial items are very much in vogue, as you guys know.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I think it's just functional in a kooky, contemporary living
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- industrial kind of way. - Yeah. It kind of...
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I just wonder, is it we want it to be what we want
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- but it isn't quite what we want?- OK.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- Is that a fair evaluation on it?- I agree with that, I'm not sold on it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Decision made. Right, that's 20 minutes of your time.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Let's leave them shopping.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Watching these teams run around this fair is thirsty work.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Fancy a drink? Not really?
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Well, maybe I can tempt you with my twin-handled beer mug here.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24It's quite the looker, isn't it?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Well, I'd bet you'd recognise instantly
0:12:26 > 0:12:28that it's Staffordshire.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30And that it is, that lovely cream ground
0:12:30 > 0:12:35and that plain, simple palette gives that away pretty instantly.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37This one in particular probably dates
0:12:37 > 0:12:40to around the 1850s or the 1860s.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41So, I'm surprised to see
0:12:41 > 0:12:44that it's in such lovely condition.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47What do we have on the front here? Well, we've got three likely lads.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50They're enjoying a drink, shall we say?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52They look like they've had one or two.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55So often on these tankards, they're anonymous.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58But because this has the Scots text on it,
0:12:58 > 0:13:00I can tell you exactly who they are.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03That first line, "Willie brew'd a peck o' malt,"
0:13:03 > 0:13:08forms the title of a Robert Burns poem from 1789.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10So, one of these gentlemen is Robert Burns,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13one of them is Willie Nicol, who brewed the malt,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and the other is Allan Masterton,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18who took Robert Burns' poem and he set it to music.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22He was a great 18th-century Scots composer.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26And this is designed for just such people.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28So, imagine this.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Rab goes to the bar, says, "Sort me out another one for Willie.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34"But come on, play a joke."
0:13:34 > 0:13:37The landlady switches out the normal mug,
0:13:37 > 0:13:41and swaps it for one with a hidden frog inside!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45It's not the world's most exciting practical joke, but believe me,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48after a couple of drinks, it's actually quite realistic.
0:13:48 > 0:13:50What's it worth?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Not a huge amount - £20-30 in today's market.
0:13:54 > 0:13:55But here's the trick -
0:13:55 > 0:14:00such is the love across the pond for Scots and British culture
0:14:00 > 0:14:03of this period, that if you were to take it over to America
0:14:03 > 0:14:08and try and sell it, you could add a zero to your £30.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10So, next time you see one of these in an auction house
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and it's going for a song, leap at the chance
0:14:13 > 0:14:15to get a frog mug and maybe make ten times your money.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Back to the shopping and there's 30 minutes left on the clock.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Each team has one item apiece.
0:14:33 > 0:14:38- Handbags, Rachel. Handbags! - Handbags!- Oh, yeah!- Handbags.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41- That go with your coat? - More your colour, I think, Neil.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I prefer a bigger bag, like a tote bag, maybe.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- How many bags have you got? - Too many, probably.- Too many?
0:14:48 > 0:14:52Yeah, my last one was a bit expensive when I told Dad
0:14:52 > 0:14:54how much I spent on it, so...
0:14:54 > 0:14:57It was more than what we have to spend today, anyway.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Oh, dear, Rachel. You should have kept that to yourself.- I know.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'll learn for next time.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08Time to leave this little domestic and check in with the Blues,
0:15:08 > 0:15:10who are faced with some modern pottery.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Are they quite new?- Yeah, very new. - Yes.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Let me tell you about Anita Harris.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18A lot of collectors for them because she's such a great designer.
0:15:18 > 0:15:21They're not going to reach their peak for years to come.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23These are the sort of things you'll be investing in.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26But because people know about them, they're hot and people want
0:15:26 > 0:15:28to buy them, you can make a profit at auction on them.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Yeah, they're modern, course they are, you spotted that instantly.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- But it doesn't always matter because they're investment pieces.- Mm-hm.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Fingers crossed, if the market goes the way we hope it'll go,
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- in 20 years' time, you can cash out with a good investment.- I'm...
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- I like this one a lot. I'm just wondering...- I'm opposite.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I don't like that one at all.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well, that told you, Dan.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50So, what about this one, then?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- Do you like that one more?- Yes.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56- What's your price on this one, please? Here.- This one here?- Hmm.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- That's the brimstone pattern.- Mm-hm.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01And I've got 45 on it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05I can take 10 off and do it for 35.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- And that is my best. - Look at the brief.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's colourful, vibrant, fun.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Could we say 33?- No.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I gave you my best price. I dropped £10 off.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Hmm, I think this is a very nice bit of ceramic.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Yes, I like that a lot, actually. OK, let's go for that, then.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23- 35, yes, please. Thank you.- Let's do it.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28Whoop-de-doo, that's two for the Blues.
0:16:28 > 0:16:2920 minutes left on the clock.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Right, Reds, how does some WMF grab you?
0:16:33 > 0:16:34How much is that?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- How much do you think? - I think pushing £200.- £200.
0:16:38 > 0:16:43- 265. It's more actually then you've got.- Yes.- Now, isn't it?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Yes, you've spent all my money.- Yeah!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- So, do you know about WMF?- No. Haven't got a clue.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53This style just absolutely epitomises WMF.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58The initials stand for Wurttembergische Metallwarenfabrik.
0:16:58 > 0:17:02- Gosh.- Which... It is gosh!- So many words in it.- An awful mouthful.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06- Easy for you to say, isn't it?- Yeah! It is actually German.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11This is sort of on the turn of the century, 1900, 1910.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13But you could still use that today?
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Of course you could, you could use it everyday. It's a bottle stand.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21And the mark here, can you just make it out?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23It's often a very, very tiny mark.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- There's only one thing that would make it better.- A lower price.- No.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28If there was a nice bottle of champy sitting there!
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Yeah. So, how much will we need to get that down by?
0:17:33 > 0:17:35So, you've got 160.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37We're going to need to get £100 off that.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yeah, I think that is nigh on impossible.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41That's not going to happen, is it?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Even from the lovely Rachel.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46Don't underestimate Rachel's powers of persuasion, Caroline.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- Bon chance!- Fingers crossed.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52- Here she goes.- Hello.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So, we love, love the bottle holder here.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Erm, we're hoping on
0:17:58 > 0:18:03quite a big discount on that.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I can see your face is very worried already.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11We're looking like below 100.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Ooh, ooh, I wouldn't dare!
0:18:14 > 0:18:16I mean, it's got 265 on it.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19I know, I know. It's a big ask.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23So, to be honest, it would have been round about 220.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27And even if I pushed the boat out, it would be 180. So...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Thank you anyway, it's a really lovely piece.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32You're very welcome, I wish you all the best.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34'You have no shame, Rachel.'
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Not to be for this one, I'm afraid.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40180 and we've got 160 left, haven't we?
0:18:40 > 0:18:46Yes, so my maths tells me that needs to be 1...50.
0:18:46 > 0:18:4750, I think.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Which would leave a tenner.- Yeah.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52That's a big chunk of your money, guys.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54That won't leave you with much left for your final item
0:18:54 > 0:18:57and don't forget Caroline's bonus buy.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Meanwhile with the Blues,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01that red box has cropped up in conversation again.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02What do you think?
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I don't like it, I think the paint's chipping, it's...
0:19:06 > 0:19:08I think you could find it in a skip for free.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Dani, see my point, you know?
0:19:11 > 0:19:12The young people in East London,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15they're going to go wild for something like that.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Wild in a good way or a bad way, Dan? I'm not sure.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- I guess it's up to me to ask for a price on it...- You're the strongest
0:19:21 > 0:19:25- on it, yeah.- ..since I'm the one trying to sell it.- So are you happy?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27If you had a nice Anglepoise, it would look quite nice on there.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- It could do, couldn't it? How are we looking?- Spoken to the gentleman. He asked 55 for it.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33- DANI GASPS - The lowest he would do was 50,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35so I think we're going to have to walk away.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36What's the premise on that?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39That he's lugged it around all his life at various antiques fairs,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- never sold it and so wants to... - Answered your question, mate.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44It's been lugged around, it's been here a lot of times,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- it's never been sold, there's a reason for it.- OK. Move on.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Answered the question. That's a giveaway.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Top tip, Tim. You might have saved the Blues some money there.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Back with the Reds and it's decision time on the WMF.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Let's say to the lady, "We've got 150 and that's it."
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Sorry to bother you again.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11Our final push, I'm going to try really hard, we've got 150.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14If you would do it for that, I'd be so happy.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17150.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20How about 155?
0:20:20 > 0:20:25Well, I'll tell you what I'll do, because I'd like you to win.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- Thanks!- Ooh!
0:20:28 > 0:20:34- Would you like a Royal Worcester brooch and stand...- OK.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- ..for £4? So you make it a total of 159.- Yeah.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- This is a Royal Worcester brooch. - Right.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48It comes out and it's got its original box.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51It can stand like that,
0:20:51 > 0:20:57it's all marked on the back and it's a lovely hand-painted posy.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- OK.- You can have that for £4.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03A very good sell, madam. In the trade, I believe it's called a job lot.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08- What do you think? - What do I think? I'm speechless! What you mean, what do I think?!
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- Is that a deal or a deal?- First of all, we've got £100 off of that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14You have, you have. Go for it!
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Not a bad deal really, is it?- Go for it and I'm going to go for it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- Definitely.- OK.- Great!- Thank you very much.- Thank you so much.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22You're very welcome.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26- That's very kind of you.- Thank you. - I wish you all the best.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Crikey! That was unexpected.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Quick as a flash and your final two items are in the bag,
0:21:32 > 0:21:34with five minutes left on the clock.
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Well, I don't think I've ever seen that before. That sort of...deal.
0:21:39 > 0:21:44- I think we're very lucky. - I think you're very lucky. - We got a very nice piece of WMF.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Now back with the Blues who still have one item left to buy.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Don't worry, stay cool.- Yeah. I just need you to tell me to calm down.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Don't worry, calm down. It's OK. We're going to be all right.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Nobody panic.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03What about this mini chest of drawers coloured in?
0:22:03 > 0:22:08- That would be nice for, like, spices or stuff.- Functional, which is what you talked about.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- It's a reclaimed thing that somebody just painted the drawers on. - But I like that.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13They're very functional, they're very in vogue.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15That's going to go straight in the kitchen.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- It's dovetailed as well, if you look, which show signs of quality. - That's true.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- I know it's worn, but doesn't that give that vintage...- I like that.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25- It's more vintage than retro.- Yes. - I think it's worth an ask.- Yeah.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- Absolutely.- Dani, why don't you go and have a go, do a bit of negotiating for us?- Hi, there.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32We're just having a look at your little drawers.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36- I had 110 on it. 90?- That's good.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- I was thinking more at sort of around the 70 mark.- Couldn't do that, I'm afraid.- No.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42What do you think, Tim?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46- If that came into my auction room, I'd put it 60 to 80 as a guide.- OK.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49I can see that either completely bombing or completely flying.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- We're in that decision time now, people are packing up.- Yeah.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57But every pound we can shave off will make a big difference, because it is still toppy.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- Do you want to have a try, Dan? - I'll have a try.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05Hello again. What about 85?
0:23:05 > 0:23:0985? 85?
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- It's a thumbs up from me.- Why not?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- I think we'll go for 85. - 85 if we can do it. - Shake the man's hand at 85.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- 85 is a good 'un. Yeah, why not? - That's good.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Hey, come on. That's three. We got there. I was worried for a minute.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Come on.- Feel the love!
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Pop the kettle on, teams. Your 60 minutes are up.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- I think that's the right decision. - Yeah, I agree.- Right, shall we go and warm up?- Yes.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34- Cup of tea.- Let's go.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41First up, Rachel was pretty chuffed with the Tri-ang train.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43Price paid, £140.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Next, the WMF wine cooler cost them £155.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55And finally, they eventually came to a deal
0:23:55 > 0:23:57on the Royal Worcester brooch.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59It set them back only £4.
0:23:59 > 0:24:05Well, Neil and Rachel, exactly as you envisioned. Rachel took charge.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08What a great haggler you proved to be.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10That was amazing and you got something you wanted, Rachel.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- You got the Tri-ang train.- Yeah, got that in at the beginning there.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16So tell me, is that your favourite item?
0:24:16 > 0:24:20The two we got are nice, but for me it's got to be the train, definitely, yeah.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23When it comes to profit, which do you think is going to make the most money?
0:24:23 > 0:24:27Probably the brooch just because we got such a good deal on it.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Where that came from I don't know.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31The lady just thought she'd chuck it in as
0:24:31 > 0:24:33a deal at the end there. Four quid for a brooch.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I thought, how can you say no to that? It was brilliant.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Now, do you agree, Neil, what are you thinking?
0:24:39 > 0:24:42My favourite item is the WMF, definitely.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45I mean, we were so lucky to get that. For the price that we got
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- it for, it's unbelievable. - And what about this brooch, Neil?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Is it just going to bring the biggest profit?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54It's a Royal Worcester brooch, so you can't go wrong for £4.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56There is no such thing as a dead cert.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01Listen to Caroline's wise words. Now, how much did you spend?
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Oh, yes, nearly all the money! Who has got £1?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- I've got the £1.- £299 spent.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- Caroline, now I've got a red face handing this to you.- Thank you!
0:25:12 > 0:25:15What on earth are you going to find for £1?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Well, the world's my oyster, isn't it, really. Anything!
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Well, I like Caroline's positive attitude,
0:25:22 > 0:25:25so while she's off looking for our £1 bargain,
0:25:25 > 0:25:27let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32First up of the Anglepoise lamp. It cost £39.
0:25:34 > 0:25:39Next, the Anita Harris pottery vase set them back £35.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And finally, in the nick of time,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45they settled on this set of drawers for £85.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48Well, we got there, Blues, with not much time to spare.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50No, just about, yeah.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Now, Dan, tell me which of these three interesting items is
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- your favourite. - I like my colourful drawers.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58They're just something that's a bit of fun actually.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00I don't think they'll make the money in the auction.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'm worried that we were slightly panicky by that stage and
0:26:03 > 0:26:07perhaps we were a little bit too generous with our money on that item.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10So, Dan, tell me, which of the three will bring the biggest profit?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I think, although it's brand spanking new,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16the piece of Anita Harris pottery, you can't really go wrong with that.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22- I think it's a really lovely piece. - You've got a name there, so fingers crossed, people know that name.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Now, Dani, what about you? Of the three, your favourite?
0:26:25 > 0:26:29The first item we bought, the 1970s bright orange Anglepoise lamp.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31It's just really colourful, it's a nice sort of thing,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33everyone needs lighting - can't go wrong.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Do you think that Anglepoise, being quite commercial,
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- is going to bring the biggest profits?- I do actually, yeah.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40We got it for £39,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43so I think people will be up for having a little battle on it.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Fingers crossed. Now, £159 was spent.- Correct.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Which leaves 141. Dani, you've got it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- I'll take it from you. - There you are.- Thank you very much. Oh, look at that.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56Fanning out, all those notes. And that all-important £1. Tim.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- Lovely. Thank you.- £141 and do you have something in mind?
0:27:00 > 0:27:02I have an idea.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04If you haven't noticed, there's a lot of fun with these guys,
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- a lot of performance.- Oh, stop!
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So I'm going to go with something very theatrical that you might not
0:27:09 > 0:27:13- have thought of or might not think even exists, but I'm going to find it.- What's that?
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Believe us, there's nothing more dramatic than an auction,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18so let's head straight there.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31We pop from Sussex to Surrey and now we're at Southon's auction house
0:27:31 > 0:27:33with Catherine Southon herself.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Catherine, thank you so much for having us along. - Oh, you're very welcome.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Let's start off with the Reds' first lot, Tri-ang train.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Has it seen better days? - Well, it has.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45The good thing about it is we have got the original box,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48which is nice, although that has seen better days.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51However, if you look at that closely,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- I think it's been repainted. - So you're suspicious.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I am suspicious, yes.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Right in front of me there's a big sort of drip here, isn't there?- Yes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- There's a bit of paint there.- So is that going to put off the purists? - I think it will.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I mean, Tri-ang's a great name, but people,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08when they're buying toys like this, they like them to be
0:28:08 > 0:28:12exceptional quality and I think that is going to scare a few people.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15- What's your estimate? - Well, I put 20-30 on it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- The team paid £140 for it. Gulp.- Ooh.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23I'd like to say I'm wrong, but I don't think I am terribly wrong. I'm sorry.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26For something that might perhaps be a little bit more up your street
0:28:26 > 0:28:30is this lovely wine cooler, the WMF. I mean...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33It oozes quality this one. It's a really nice thing.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37The only down thing is that you have got that pitting, can you see there?
0:28:37 > 0:28:42- So again, seen better days.- Hm. - But it's so stylish.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43What kind of price have you put on it?
0:28:43 > 0:28:48Well, I've put 40-60, but we've had a lot of interest.
0:28:48 > 0:28:54- OK, well, Caroline and the team paid £155.- Let's hope.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58They had to have it so much that it came with a catch. This catch.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01This Royal Worcester brooch.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04I can't imagine this is going to get many buyers hot under the collar.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07No, it's so old-fashioned, it really is.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09No-one's going to think this is a bit of vintage cool,
0:29:09 > 0:29:14- stick it on their lapel in maybe an ironic way?- Would you?- No.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18Really, 20-30 is my absolute limit and that's kind, I think.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Well, the dealer wanted it off of their hands, so the catch was
0:29:21 > 0:29:24if they bought that for 155, they had to take that for £4.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Well, there you go. - So, they've done all right. - They've done all right.
0:29:27 > 0:29:29They'll get their money back on £4, for sure.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Well, the team might get their money back on £4, but it
0:29:31 > 0:29:35- sounds as though they might be struggling with the other two items. - Yeah, a little bit.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37So let's see what Caroline bought the Reds as
0:29:37 > 0:29:39a potentially life-saving bonus buy.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Well, Neil and Rachel,
0:29:42 > 0:29:47how cruel you are, because you have left Caroline £1.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52- Caroline, what on earth did you come up with?- Well, I spent the pound.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56- Are you ready?- Oh.- Ooh!
0:29:56 > 0:30:02- Ooh!- Is it a toast holder? - It is a toast holder.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- It's a toast rack.- For a pound? - For a pound.- I'm quite impressed.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10It's in perfect condition. There's no damage.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14- Now, a present from the Crystal Palace.- Oh.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20- How old do you think this is? - 1900s?- It's exactly 1851.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Ah. How much do you think it's going to make?
0:30:23 > 0:30:28Well, it's got to make £10, surely? I mean, I think it's brilliant!
0:30:28 > 0:30:33- And it's a practical item, isn't it? - Absolutely, yeah. People eat toast.
0:30:33 > 0:30:38- People do eat toast! Did you have toast for breakfast?- I had a banana.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- Right. Well, a lot of people still have toast.- I have toast, yeah.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- I think you've well spent our pound there.- Thank you.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48I wholeheartedly agree. I think that Caroline rose to the challenge of the £1
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- bonus buy.- Definitely. - But importantly,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54it's time to find out what Catherine thinks of this toast rack.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59Well, here it is, leafy and lovely, our porcelain toast rack.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01We've got Crystal Palace written on it,
0:31:01 > 0:31:04so I'm thinking 1851 exhibition.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07But I think it's a lot of wear to the building and I think
0:31:07 > 0:31:10maybe not very much at all, £10 to £20.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Well, I don't know if you were doing the maths when we were going through the other items
0:31:14 > 0:31:17because that added up to 299, leaving Caroline £1.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Ah! Well, that's fine then. We'll make loads of money on that!
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Exactly. I'll hold you to that.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24A guaranteed profit on the toast rack.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27Let's see how it goes. Let's move to our Blues.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31We start off with the Anglepoise. So trendy, aren't they?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35You just cannot get your hands on these in the shops for less
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- than £100, so do you love it? - I absolutely love that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42It's very stylish. The colour is just brilliant.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46- So what do you reckon this will make at auction?- Easy-peasy 30 to 50.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51- Well, the team paid, somehow, £39 at a fair.- Bargain.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Then we stick with the orangey hues. Now, Anita Harris,
0:31:55 > 0:31:57as a sculptor, we don't know a lot about her,
0:31:57 > 0:32:01but are you taken by her cylindrical vase?
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I must admit, I don't know a huge amount about Anita Harris.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06It's an interesting design, quite a nice pattern,
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- I like the flame colours on it. £30 to £50.- OK.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Well, I'm sure Dan and Dani will be quite happy with that. They paid 35.
0:32:14 > 0:32:18Again, they kept it low and they were hedging their bets,
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- hoping to make a profit by not spending too much money.- OK.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Then they went quite big on these drawers.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Now, they're pretty handsome from where I'm sitting.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28When I first saw these, I didn't really like them.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31They're not particularly well made, they're very rustic,
0:32:31 > 0:32:34they look like they've just been banged together with a few screws.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37But I'm amazed at how much interest we've had in them.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40So I'm obviously missing the point here.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Not at all, each to their own. What have you gone for?
0:32:44 > 0:32:49We've gone for the old favourite of £30 to £50, but who knows!
0:32:49 > 0:32:51- The team paid £85.- OK, right.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Well, it seems like they've done pretty well at the fair
0:32:54 > 0:32:57but, just in case, let's find out what Tim bought as a bonus buy.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03Well, Dani, Dan, you had the most colourful shop so I'm interested
0:33:03 > 0:33:09to know, Tim, with your £141, did you continue along that theme?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- I've really tried and I hope I've delivered.- Good.
0:33:11 > 0:33:12- Are you ready?- Yes.- Oh, yes.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Here we go. What do you think of this?- Oh!
0:33:15 > 0:33:17LOL. Wow!
0:33:17 > 0:33:18That is... Yeah.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- I mean slightly scary. - A little bit disturbing.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- It's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, that's right?- Yes.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- This one is going to appear to me in a dream.- Or a nightmare, in fact.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30- Yes, yes.- Manufactured by a company called Chad Valley.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- Oh, OK.- OK.- You know Chad Valley? - Oh, yes.- Yeah.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35They were given the Royal Warrant to be the toy manufacturers for
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Her Majesty the Queen. That's what makes Chad Valley so collectable.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41But the condition could be better, agreed.
0:33:41 > 0:33:46But you gave me £141, to buy these mint, we're looking at 400-450.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I got these for £100.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51- I really like them. - Tim, you are a dream.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54How much do you think they're going to make then?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57Well, I really don't know because of the condition but I think with
0:33:57 > 0:34:00a bit of work someone somewhere with the right skills could
0:34:00 > 0:34:03turn this into 300, 350, 400.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Let's just hope that the punters are not Bashful but they are Happy.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10- Oh!- We're happy.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12You do not need to make your minds up just yet.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13In the meantime,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16what does Catherine think of Snow White and her Seven Dwarfs?
0:34:17 > 0:34:20You know what they say, boys and their toys,
0:34:20 > 0:34:24so, Tim, came up trumps with these Chad Valley items, or did he?
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- What do you reckon?- I love Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31But we've got beards that have been trimmed.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33We've got hair that's been cut.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35We all did this to our dolls.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37So, in perfect condition,
0:34:37 > 0:34:39they can make £300,
0:34:39 > 0:34:43but these are nowhere near that.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- What can they make in this sort of condition?- 60 to 100.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- OK, Tim paid the top end of your estimate, £100.- Right, OK.
0:34:50 > 0:34:51We may get there.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53We may struggle.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Do you feel like it's going to be a successful auction today?
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- Yes, of course.- I can't wait.
0:34:58 > 0:34:59Let's see how it goes.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02100, 110 anywhere?
0:35:02 > 0:35:03£100 then.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09- Neil, Rachel, this is it.- Yeah. - Auction time, how are you feeling?
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- Very nervous. Anxious.- Yeah. - You're wringing your hands.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17- Well, worried about a couple of our items now.- OK.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Shall we see me get on with our first lot?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Keep everything crossed, here it comes.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26We have a Tri-ang express train and I'm looking for 20.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- 20!- No. Higher!
0:35:29 > 0:35:32£20. 10 then. 10?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Thank you. £10.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36£10, any more?
0:35:36 > 0:35:38- 10.- Got to start somewhere.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- £10 I've got. Oh, 11.- 11!
0:35:42 > 0:35:46- 12, why not?- It's flooding in now.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- It is.- 13. 14.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5115.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53£20. £20 then.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57£20 I've got, £20 all done.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Oh, no! God!
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Thank you. - We play the cards that we're dealt.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05That's a loss of £120.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08The second lot, our WMF wine cooler.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11- We paid 155.- Yes.- OK, fingers crossed for profit.- Right.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13And interest here, I've got.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- 120, 130.- Come on.- Just come on.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18140 with me.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20145. Thank you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23150. 155.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25155, yes!
0:36:25 > 0:36:28160. 165.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31170 with me. 175.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- 180 with me.- This feels better.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38All right, rub it in.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40185.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- 190.- Yay!
0:36:43 > 0:36:46No, are you sure? £190 then.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51- Not bad.- You excelled yourself.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53In fact, it's a profit of £35
0:36:53 > 0:36:55which means you're -85 so that
0:36:55 > 0:36:58brooch has got to make a lot of money.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59Here it comes.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01And I have interest here at £20.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Yes!
0:37:03 > 0:37:0625. On the internet at 25.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08I'm looking for 30.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10£30 on the internet. £30.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Any more at 30?
0:37:12 > 0:37:14I will sell. £30, fair warning.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17£30. Thank goodness for that.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22A profit of 26, which means overall you're -59.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- A minute ago you were -120.- Yes. - So you did all right.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28So -59, the question is,
0:37:28 > 0:37:32are you going to put your faith in the one pound toast rack?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- It's got to make £55.- It's a no-brainer.- It's got to...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39That toast rack, £59 all day.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43I think you made the right decision. Catherine said, "£1 paid,
0:37:43 > 0:37:46"I think it can make the team 10 or 20." Here we go.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50OK, who's going to give me £10 for this, please?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52It's bid. Thank you. 10, 12.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- 14, 16.- Look, it's going crazy.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57..24, 26. 28.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Oh, my God.- Yes!- Caroline!
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- Go on.- 40. 2, 5, 8.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04- It's going to happen.- 48?
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- Come on.- Come on.
0:38:06 > 0:38:0950. £50 I've got. £50 then.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11£50, any more at 50?
0:38:12 > 0:38:15Well done.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17You could knock me down with a feather.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22A profit of 49, overall -10.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24- The glory might be, you never know. - Yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27-10 could be a winning score so say nothing to your
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- competition, the Blues.- Yeah.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31See how it all pans out.
0:38:38 > 0:38:44Dani, Dan, Tim, we're here at the auction. Nerves are running high.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47- How are you feeling?- Well, yeah, my nerves are through the roof.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- Hopefully, the same level as the prices will be.- Dan?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Call me a Jelly Baby, that's what I'm, I'm total jelly.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Our first lot is a retro orange Anglepoise desk lamp.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Here it comes.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59How retro can you get?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01OK, this is quite a funky thing,
0:39:01 > 0:39:07who's going to bid me £30 to start me off. £30 surely? Come on.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Got to be.- All day long.
