0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, we are in Epsom, a town with a rich history.
0:00:04 > 0:00:09It is said that Epsom has more late Stuart and Georgian houses than
0:00:09 > 0:00:11anywhere else in Surrey.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14I wonder what it was like back then.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16HORSE NEIGHS
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Wow! How did that happen?
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Goodness. Is that the time?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26I've got an antiques fair to go to.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32To the racecourse, my dear coachman.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's go Bargain Hunting.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06We're here at Epsom Racecourse Antiques and Collectables Fair.
0:01:06 > 0:01:12Our teams have £300 and just one hour to buy three items.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15But will any golden gavels be awarded today?
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Let's have a look at what's coming up.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21The Reds know who's in charge.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24I do like trunks. I don't know where I'd put them or... You know.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- Well, you are not buying it, so. - I know.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The Blues get into a squabble.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- I didn't see it.- You didn't see it? - You didn't mention it. Why didn't you
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- say so at the time?- Well. - What do you want to do?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Well, you were so busy. - Don't argue.- Oh, well.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39And at the auction, it's tense for the Reds.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- 30, back in.- And the Blues can't believe their luck.- Yes!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46But that's all for later.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Let's meet today's teams.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54For the Reds, we have mum and son Gary and Robina,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and for the Blues we have married couple Ali and Bob.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- Hello, everyone. ALL:- Hello.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01It's lovely to have you along.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Reds, first.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Now, Gary.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08You worked in a chocolate factory.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- I did.- That sounds like heaven.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13It is wonderful.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- Tell me a bit about it. - I've recently retired.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18I've worked there for over 33 and a half years.
0:02:18 > 0:02:24Did several jobs. My last one was I was basically paid to go out and buy
0:02:24 > 0:02:26chocolate and sweets, measure them,
0:02:26 > 0:02:30put them on displays and then I could dispose of them as I saw fit.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Not all of them went in here.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Some we used to...
0:02:35 > 0:02:36Did you take some home for your mum?
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Indeed. But we used to raffle them off.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41So, you're retired now.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46But I believe you had a rather interesting hobby as well.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50I did use to practise aikido, which is a martial art from Japan, and I
0:02:50 > 0:02:53actually ended up being an aikido instructor.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Right. So, Robina, you're retired as well?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Yes.- But tell me, what did you do before retirement?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01All my working life was in retail,
0:03:01 > 0:03:05- but I managed a couple of public houses and a hotel.- Ahh!
0:03:05 > 0:03:09But my favourite job was just being a barmaid.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14A little birdie told me that you also have a magical background.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Indeed, I do.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Tell me about that.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20My father, semi-professional magician,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24and he started me on the magic trail when I was six.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28The first thing was eating razor blades.
0:03:28 > 0:03:29Eating razor blades?
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Yes. Real sharp razor blades, the double-edged.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35And I started performing that when I was nine.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Don't try that at home, folks.- No.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40So what's the secret?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43It's, um, magic and that's it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Now, you've obviously got a very close mother-and-son bond...
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Yes, we have.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52..but how are you going to be out there at the fair?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54I think we'll be OK.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57I will probably say, I really like the look of this.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00I really like the look of that, and then basically buy what Mum wants.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Do what your mum says. You can't go wrong.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I think you're absolutely right there.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Now, for the Blues, Ali and Bob.
0:04:07 > 0:04:09How did you two meet?
0:04:09 > 0:04:12I visited the local college to talk to the students about special needs,
0:04:12 > 0:04:14because that's my background,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17and Ali was one of the lecturers there. So that's how we met,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- originally.- It was meant to be.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- It was.- That's absolutely right.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Now, Ali, I believe you are
0:04:24 > 0:04:29incredibly handy with a needle and thread.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Where did that all start?
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Well, it started when I was young.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35I have a very creative grandmother and mother
0:04:35 > 0:04:36who both taught me how to sew.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Many years later,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42I've come back to sewing and being creative and I've started to make my
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- own clothes.- Yeah. Tell me,
0:04:45 > 0:04:48the dress that you're wearing, or tunic that you're wearing...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Yes.- ..is absolutely fabulous. - Thank you.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Did you make that?- I did make this and it's made out of jeans that had
0:04:55 > 0:04:57been thrown away in charity shops.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Absolutely fabulous.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02How are you going to do out there at the fair?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06- It's going to be her turn.- Is it?! - Definitely her turn.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Definitely her turn.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Are you going to make the decisions?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- We'll share them.- We'll share... - We're not necessarily going to look for things we like.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15But things that will make money.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Oh, right. They want to make money.
0:05:17 > 0:05:22Same as you guys? So, no shopping without money.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27£300 for the Reds, and £300 for the Blues.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Thank you.- There you are. Your experts await, so off you go.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37There's magic in the air today.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41All our teams need now are their experts.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46On-call for the Reds, it's Danny Sebastian.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Looking out for the Blues, it's David Harper.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58So, what are we looking for today, guys?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59Gary, you first.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Ideally something nice. Something with a bit of quality.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06Something to do with drinking, cocktail making, maybe some old bottles.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11- I think the plan is buy low, real bargains...- Yes.- ..sell high, David.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Sell high. OK.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I like silver and treen.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18Maybe Lalique, a little bit of glassware.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Buy cheap and make a profit.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23OK, buy low, sell high.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Teams, your time starts now.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27BELL RINGS
0:06:27 > 0:06:28Let's go looking.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- OK.- Let's do it.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- Let's do it.- OK.- And they are off.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34Oh, look. Bottle labels.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Quite like them. That's good.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Quite nice. Always nice when they are silver rather than gilded.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Rather than... Yeah.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- That's quite nice. - What is quite nice?
0:06:43 > 0:06:46That tray that you would put hors d'oeuvres or something like that on.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Three quid. I like the bronze colour.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I like the colour.- Both teams are finding nice things but nothing they
0:06:51 > 0:06:52want to buy just yet.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Any more luck, Reds?
0:06:54 > 0:06:55Those book slides.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58They don't really get much money now, do they?
0:06:58 > 0:06:59No. They are '60s, though.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's 1960s.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02I mean, is it practical?
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Are people really going to use it?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- No.- People don't even read a lot of books nowadays.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12- And if they did they'd have more than four.- Well, that's right!- Yeah.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Still nothing for the Reds.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16But the Blues seem to be making good time.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I quite like the look of that clock.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- OK.- It looks as if it might be oak.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Can we handle it? - Yes.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Nope. I think it is mahogany.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26What's that say there?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- New Haven, USA. How interesting, USA.- Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Date, I'm going to say that's going to give it all away.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36That little piece of marquetry decoration,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39which is a very Georgian design.
0:07:39 > 0:07:421770, in design.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- Yeah.- Oh, yeah.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46In date, it's a Georgian revival,
0:07:46 > 0:07:50dated to the Edwardian period, 1901-1910.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54And the Americans were mass-producing clocks and sending them all over the world.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57It's very stylish. It's very small and neat.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think it's really interesting.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00I think it's a nice thing.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- You haven't seen the price. How much do you think it is?- Oh, I don't know.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Probably 70-something. Let's go 70-something.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- What do you think?- I'd say closer to 50, 45.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- 45.- Whoa.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17OK, I think it's 20-30 in an auction today because these things have gone
0:08:17 > 0:08:21- down in value.- I don't think we'd make much of a loss on it but I think we
0:08:21 > 0:08:22wouldn't make a profit on that.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25How much could we get that down to, ladies?
0:08:25 > 0:08:26- 35.- 35.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I think we need to come down a little bit more.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30- 30?- It's come down to 30.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32You wouldn't just manoeuvre down a couple of pounds, say 28?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- 28.- 28, right.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Lovely.- Job done.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37Wonderful. I love you two.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Negotiated like clockwork, Blues.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45They've bagged their first item, but what about the Red team?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47What are we seeing, Robina?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50I was just looking and wondering if they were buttons there,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- and if they're silver?- Which one?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- The one with the four.- They are.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59- They are silver?- Box sets of buttons were popular in the early
0:08:59 > 0:09:0420th century and made attractive gifts to adorn women's clothes.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- How much are they?- There's no price on them that we can see.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09£80.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11£80 for the four?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- For the four.- They are nice but a little bit expensive, I think.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16£20 each is a bit much.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Quite old buttons.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Quite nice, at £20 each.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So, Danny, what would you say auction-wise is we're looking at those?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26I'd estimate them between £30-50 for the four.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28What do you feel about it?
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Mum likes them. She likes quality.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32- They are silver.- So, the best price would be?
0:09:32 > 0:09:3470 for the lot, really.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I don't think we can do that at 70.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40- If you're happy to go 65?- If you're happy to do that.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Have we got a deal?- Yeah, you've got a deal.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44£65. Shake the lady's hand.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Thank you very much.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48The Reds are off the mark in style.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Brilliant! First item bought.
0:09:51 > 0:09:5415 minutes gone. Well, just over 15 minutes gone.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- What's next?- While the Reds decide, how are the Blues doing?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Do you like the box?
0:10:01 > 0:10:03- Oh, the box. The box.- Does that shout at you anything?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Any particular style or design, or period?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07It looks a bit arts and craftsy to me.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Arts and Crafts, yeah.- Bang on. Absolutely screaming it.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Arts and Crafts pieces generally are very good quality.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Because they are harking back to the old methods of manufacturing.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- You bought the clock, the mass-made clock.- Yeah.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- This is the exact opposite.- Yes.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Totally handmade.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29Each and every one. Always different to the next.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31What's the price ticket on it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- 165.- 165. It's a lovely thing but it's never going to make it in the
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- auction, is it?- Never going to make us a profit.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38Maybe not.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40The Blues say goodbye to the beautiful box,
0:10:40 > 0:10:43while something has caught Robina's eye.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I was just wondering what they were, with the patterns on?
0:10:45 > 0:10:48They are old-fashioned printing blocks.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51You can use them either for paper, walls or fabric.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52What sort of age are they?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I don't know the exact age,
0:10:55 > 0:10:58but I know they don't make them like that now.
0:10:58 > 0:10:59Let me give you one to hold.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01Some people don't use them.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03They put them up for decoration.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05I see. What's the price on them?
0:11:05 > 0:11:08They're £10 each, these ones, and these make beautiful, you know...
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- They're quite interesting, actually. - ..round the wall. Things like that.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Can we bear them in mind and pop back?
0:11:14 > 0:11:17- Have a think?- Yes. You think about it and I will still be here.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19OK. Fine, thank you.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21With the blocks on the back burner,
0:11:21 > 0:11:24the Blues' eagle eyes have spotted something.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Let's have a look.- They're quite...
0:11:26 > 0:11:28I mean, they are just concrete.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30- Yeah, yeah.- But if they're cheap and cheerful...
0:11:30 > 0:11:32What price can you do on those for us?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Come on.- They're not cheap, cheap.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- They're 125.- No.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Is that too much?
0:11:39 > 0:11:41So, tell me, where would you...?
0:11:41 > 0:11:45They'd need to be a long way south of 100.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47DAVID COUGHS
0:11:47 > 0:11:51I would reckon between 30 and 45.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54Oh, my word! I think I paid more than that for them.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- How about 49?- 49?!- No?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'm not making a living here, am I?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- The bottom line is 90.- Oh!
0:12:02 > 0:12:05I'm sorry, I can't do any better than that.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Thanks for trying.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09No sale for the Blues.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Bob, how long have we had?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- Half an hour?- Ali?
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I'm going for 40 minutes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18OK, not as bad. 25 minutes, but you've got one item.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20So based on that, we're going to run out of time.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22We need to move.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24While the teams continue their shopping,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I'm going to tell you about a curious wee thing that I've found.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Derby Day's the big event here at Epsom Racecourse.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43If you've been lucky enough to back a winner,
0:12:43 > 0:12:47what better way to celebrate than with a bottle of champagne?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52A Magnum, of course, is best,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56but I've found a miniature which is a right wee corker.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02This miniature bottle would have been the perfect accessory on a
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Victorian gentleman's watch chain as he stepped out,
0:13:06 > 0:13:13all swanked up in top hat and tails to cheer on a winner on Derby Day.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16This little miniature is made of gold,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20but the interior contains not bubbly,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22but something quite different.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27It has a telescopic action which, when operated,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30reveals a propelling pencil,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34and when the cork is twisted, a lead emerges,
0:13:34 > 0:13:36just perfect for our
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Champagne Charlie to fill out his betting slips.
0:13:39 > 0:13:47It shows the mark for J&G Beasley, a fine London watchmaker and retailer.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Only the best for our chappy.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53It was made by Sampson & Mordan Co.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Sampson & Mordan patented the propelling pencil and these were known for
0:13:56 > 0:14:00their fine quality workmanship and quirkiness.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04The Victorians were enchanted by whimsical design
0:14:04 > 0:14:08and would have loved a little item just like this.
0:14:08 > 0:14:14This would have been an expensive item in its day, but in today's market,
0:14:14 > 0:14:18you can often buy gold items for just a little bit more over their
0:14:18 > 0:14:21gold weight value.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24In this case, round about £200.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Now, for a £200 stake,
0:14:28 > 0:14:31this would be an odds-on favourite with me
0:14:31 > 0:14:33and I'm sure would romp past
0:14:33 > 0:14:35the post and double its money.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Back at the fair, we're 25 minutes in
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and both teams have one item apiece.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52They'll have to get a move on if they're going to get all three items
0:14:52 > 0:14:56in the time left, and the Reds seem overwhelmed.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Oh, look, see the...
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- Forks, yes.- The horses' yolk.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Yes.- So much to look at, so much to take in.- It is, isn't it?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08A lot of gear here. There is a lot of good stuff here.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Are the Blues finding it more fruitful?
0:15:11 > 0:15:13What can you tell us about the fruit knife?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15That one's Sheffield, 1903.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17What is it, Bob, about the fruit knives that you like?
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- Do you want to buy a collection or...?- I just think they're delicate.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22People do collect them. People do collect them, yeah.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23- They do.- But do they sell, David?
0:15:23 > 0:15:27Well, yes. Everything will sell, but I mean, what kind of value are they?
0:15:27 > 0:15:29- 10, 20, 30 quid?- Yeah.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33A pretty thing with mother of pearl, Sheffield, I assume.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Date - 1908, pre First World War.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Feel that as well, it works so well.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45I mean, Sheffield, known for making superb-quality knives.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- What are your thoughts, Bob? - I think, even at 25, it's...
0:15:49 > 0:15:50It's lovely, but...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- I don't think we'll get money on it. - OK.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55OK, that's fine. Thank you for your time.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58- Appreciate it.- That price didn't cut it for the Blues.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01Meanwhile, Gary is curious about some crockery.
0:16:01 > 0:16:04What do we know about these sort of plates, Danny?
0:16:04 > 0:16:10- This charger?- Yeah.- It looks like a bit of blue and white, late Victorian.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13£29, I mean, it's not too bad.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16You generally find these with cracks and so forth and this one isn't.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19There's a nice transfer on there as well.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22Willow pattern is a transfer print that became popular at the end of
0:16:22 > 0:16:24the 18th-century, inspired by
0:16:24 > 0:16:27the fashionable Chinese imports of the time.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29You've got it up there for 29.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33Would that be something you could see it going for in auction?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36People do like this blue and white, that is for sure.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39It's desirable, it's relatively commercial, it's a nice, big thing.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41It's practical also.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- £29.- We can squeeze them a bit more, do you think?
0:16:43 > 0:16:47You know, if we could squeeze them, there may be a chance we could.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- Wipe its nose? - Well, yes, indeed.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54Well, I like it and people with a nice country house, on the dresser,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56it would look very nice.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Shall we ask about a price?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Hello.- Hello.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I quite like this, however, it's got £29 on it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07I'm going to struggle with £29 to actually get anything out of it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10- Is there any movement from you? - There is bit of movement.
0:17:10 > 0:17:11- A little bit?- 22?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I like 22. Could we have 20?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Yes.- Shake hands?- It's your lucky day!- Thank you very much.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- Much appreciated.- It's a pleasure.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Is Mum agreeing with that?
0:17:20 > 0:17:23- Mum?- Yes. Yes, I'll go along with that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well done.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26- Thank you very much.- Well done.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Well done. Good stuff.
0:17:28 > 0:17:29- That's two in the bag.- Yep.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Job done. Let's go and find the third and final piece.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Let's find the third one.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Well done, Reds, that's 30 minutes gone and two items bought.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42The Blues are playing catch-up now, with just one item in the bag.
0:17:42 > 0:17:43I quite like the look of these.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45What on earth would you do with those?
0:17:45 > 0:17:47They were bottle tops.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50- They're silver, they've got hallmarks.- Hallmarks, yes.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52- Date?- And they're a pair. - Early 20th century?
0:17:52 > 0:17:53- I would have thought.- 1910, maybe.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55They haven't got a price on them, what is it?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58They're 30. £30, the pair.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Who would buy them? There's only one person on the planet, ie you.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05I think there would be a few others.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08But whether at a general sale, they'd have to be a lot cheaper.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Right. Ali, what are we thinking?
0:18:11 > 0:18:12I'm thinking, only Bob!
0:18:12 > 0:18:14LAUGHTER
0:18:14 > 0:18:1725, we could do a deal.
0:18:17 > 0:18:1825.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Go with your instinct. What is this instinct?
0:18:21 > 0:18:22- Cos I'm worried about time.- Yeah.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25Ali, do you allow him ever to go with his instinct?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yes, well, it's Bob, isn't it?
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Yes.- You wouldn't do 24?
0:18:30 > 0:18:3224?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34I don't think we'll fall out over a pound.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37That's very kind of you. Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:37 > 0:18:38Give you a sporting chance!
0:18:38 > 0:18:40- You're welcome.- Thank you.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Very strange! Thank you, thank you.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Strange or not, that's two items down with 20 minutes left on the clock.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Both teams are looking for their final items.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I do like trunks.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54I don't know where I'd put them, I don't know what...
0:18:54 > 0:18:55But you're not buying it.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58I know. But I'm thinking about from my point of view,
0:18:58 > 0:19:02if I was wanting to buy it, put yourself in the buyer's mind.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03Always great, trunks.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I love luggage myself.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08I always find with luggage it tells a great story.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10The price on that is 150.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Gary can't have these.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14No, I didn't say that!
0:19:14 > 0:19:16LAUGHTER
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- Would I say that?- Of course you wouldn't!
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Not in public, anyway!
0:19:21 > 0:19:24- All right, that's great, then.- No, I mean, maybe we'll leave those.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Mum's had the final say on that one,
0:19:27 > 0:19:29while the Blues are getting desperate.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Look at the £5 table bazaar, isn't that exciting?
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- Yes, it is!- Are you excited, Ali? - Well...
0:19:36 > 0:19:39The thing is, though, when we were at the stall previously,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42I did see there was a really sweet little brooch there,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45- a little silver riding... - I didn't see it.- You didn't see it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- Why didn't you say so at the time? - Well...
0:19:48 > 0:19:51- You were so busy.- Don't argue, we haven't got time to argue.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55- Do you want to go and see it?- Yes. - Right, Ali, you show us.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And Robina is also leading the way for the Reds.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00What have you seen, Robina?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Look, in the middle there, look.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Oh, she's lovely.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- It's bronze.- What would you look for as a value on that, Danny?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Straight away, I feel that it's repro.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14There's quite a lot of these on the markets nowadays.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19That still doesn't make it commercial, because if it was original,
0:20:19 > 0:20:21then it would be a big figure,
0:20:21 > 0:20:22somebody like Goldscheider
0:20:22 > 0:20:25who made these figures back in the 1930s.
0:20:25 > 0:20:271920s, 1930s.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28It would be a lot of money.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Get in there, let's have a look at it.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33OK. Well, it's very heavy, I'm not even going to try,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36I'm not going to try and pick it up. The reason it's heavy is its weight,
0:20:36 > 0:20:37it's £225.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- That's very heavy. - That's more than we've got.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41If we were going to put an offer on it, Danny,
0:20:41 > 0:20:45what would you think would be a reasonable estimate to go in at?
0:20:45 > 0:20:49I kind of see that reaching about 80 to £100.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51It's in the style of Chiparus.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54If we can get that down just a little bit more,
0:20:54 > 0:20:59I think we stand a better chance of making a profit at auction.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Hello, sir.- Hello.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05The very, very best I can do on that today is...
0:21:05 > 0:21:10- 130.- I know you've come down on that for us and we do like it, but,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12130 is the death, that's it, no...?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- 125.- 125.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Well, if you don't try, you don't know.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- There is that. - 125 sounds good, then?
0:21:20 > 0:21:23You'll shake the man's hand if he says 120.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- 120.- Thanks very much, appreciate that, sir.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Good luck.- We're going to need a bit of that luck, I think.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Yeah!
0:21:33 > 0:21:35What a deal.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36Well done, guys.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Thank you.- One item, we could say, every 15 minutes,
0:21:39 > 0:21:42because we bought all three in 45.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44We've got 15 minutes to spare.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Tell you what, let's go and get a Bargain Hunt cup of tea.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Come on!
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Meanwhile, Ali has taken the Blues back to the stall
0:21:51 > 0:21:53where Bob found the bottle tops.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Right, come on, Ali, shock us.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58So, it is a shocker, look at that.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- What is it? It's silver, is it? - It is, yes.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- It's a crop, isn't it?- It's a crop and we are at Epsom Racecourse.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I know, but we're not selling at Epsom Racecourse, are we?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11There is that, yeah, OK.
0:22:11 > 0:22:12Who would wear such a brooch?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Ladies of leisure.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Ladies or maybe a gentleman on their tie.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- Yes.- Or on a lapel?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- In fact...- Yeah... seriously.- Country.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Actually, seriously.- That would look nice, country jacket.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Genuinely, I would wear it, genuinely wear it.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31What's your best price on that for us?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- 20.- You've got 20 on it.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Could you do it for nine?
0:22:34 > 0:22:37My wife and ten children will kill me!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39OK, yes, right.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41Very kind, thank you so much. Thank you so much.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Thank you, thank you very much. - That's brilliant, thank you.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45- Again.- Again.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Our third item. Well done.
0:22:47 > 0:22:48ALARM RINGS
0:22:48 > 0:22:50Tick-tock, time is up!
0:22:50 > 0:22:52And in time, fantastic.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53- Well done, you two.- Really pleased.
0:22:53 > 0:22:58- Really pleased.- Let's remind ourselves what the Reds bought.
0:22:58 > 0:23:04First up were the silver buttons at the shiny price of £65.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08They served up this willow pattern meat plate at £20.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13And finally, this bronze statue of a dancer was a must-have for Robina,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15£120 paid.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18Well, guys, did you have a good time?
0:23:18 > 0:23:19We did, a great time, thank you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22You two worked very much as a team.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Yes.- And you worked very efficiently.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27One item every 15 minutes?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Yes.- Finished 15 minutes early?
0:23:29 > 0:23:32- We did.- And then had a nice cup of tea?
0:23:32 > 0:23:33We did!
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Now, Robina, tell me what your favourite item is.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Well, it has to be the Art Deco figure.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- You like Art Deco?- I do, and I just fell in love with her.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Is that the item that is going to make the most money, though?
0:23:47 > 0:23:49- No. No.- Which item?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51I think the blue and white plate.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Right. Always popular, always popular.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yes, I think that will make the most money.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58Gary, do you agree with your mum?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Yeah, the Art Deco figure was brilliant and we loved it.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Heart ruled the head there.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04But I think the plate's going to bring the most money.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- All right, so both in agreement? - Yeah, yeah.- You work as a team!
0:24:07 > 0:24:09LAUGHTER
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Now, you spent £205.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15- Yes.- Perfectly respectable, so could I have £95?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17You can, indeed, there we are.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Thank you very much. £95, Danny.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- Thank you very much.- Do you know what you're going to buy, Danny?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25I've seen something.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Let's just say - I think this is going to be EASY to buy.
0:24:29 > 0:24:34- Ooh!- Good.- While Danny goes off for his EASY buy,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37let's remind ourselves what the Blues bought.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41First up, the American mahogany
0:24:41 > 0:24:45mantle clock which set them back £28.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49This pair of silver scent bottle tops were not to be sniffed at,
0:24:49 > 0:24:51costing £24.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57And finally, this silver riding crop brooch spurred them on at £9.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Bob, Ali, did you have a good time?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04- Yes, fantastic, fantastic.- We did!
0:25:04 > 0:25:08You started off very focused and then you kind of lost the place.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10- Yes. - LAUGHTER
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Decided to rein yourselves back in and became focused again.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Yes.- Ali, what was your favourite item?
0:25:17 > 0:25:21My favourite was the little bar brooch that we bought at the end,
0:25:21 > 0:25:23the little riding crop. That was my favourite.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Is that going to make the most money, though?
0:25:25 > 0:25:27I think it might, yeah, I think it might.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Bob, what was your favourite item? Do you agree with Ali?
0:25:30 > 0:25:34The favourite item for me was the little American clock.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35Is it going to make the most profit?
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Doubtful. I think Ali's brooch will,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41but I'd like to beat her on that one!
0:25:41 > 0:25:44A wee bit of competition going here as well, David.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Well, they're married, Anita, what do you expect?
0:25:47 > 0:25:48I'm saying nothing!
0:25:49 > 0:25:53You spent a tiny, wee £61.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- We did.- But that was part of the grand plan?
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- Yes. It was, it was.- Well, you have to give me £239, please.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- And here it is.- Here it is.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04David, a lot of money.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Anita, what am I going to do with £239?
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Well, blow the lot.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Do you reckon? Do you want me to?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Is that what you want to do? - I would love to really.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16But I'm going to be cautious. I'm going to look for
0:26:16 > 0:26:20something interesting that can match the interest of your purchases.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21It won't be difficult.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25While David goes off to buy something interesting,
0:26:25 > 0:26:26we're off to the auction.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36We are at Bellmans Auctioneers in West Sussex
0:26:36 > 0:26:38with auctioneer Jonathan Pratt.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41- Hello, Jonathan.- Hi, Anita. - It's lovely to be here.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- Thank you for coming.- Now, for our Reds, Gary and Robina,
0:26:45 > 0:26:50we have first item, this set of Art Nouveau buttons.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- OK.- Now, these are very pretty and they're by William Cummins.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58A very good maker of the early 20th century. Style-wise, nice, too.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01I don't think it's the original box but it's still a period box which is
0:27:01 > 0:27:04rather nice, so, you know...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06they are what they are. They'll sell happily at auction
0:27:06 > 0:27:07- at the right price.- Uh-huh.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10What price have you estimated them at though, Jonathan?
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Between 60 and 90.
0:27:12 > 0:27:1760 and 90. Well, they paid 65, so we have a glimmer of a profit there.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- Yeah, good start.- OK, second item, a functional item,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24a marvellous meat platter. What do you think?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Well, we live in the country and there are collectors
0:27:27 > 0:27:29of blue, decorated pottery. It's not a rare pattern,
0:27:29 > 0:27:31it's just willow pattern, but it's a nice size, not too big,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34sits on the dresser in the new family room with all the, sort of,
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- where everyone eats and dines. - And will look beautiful. - It'll look beautiful, yeah.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40So a perfectly functional, useful thing as well.
0:27:40 > 0:27:41If you wanted to use it, you can.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Estimate?- 30 to 40.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Well, they paid £20.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48- I think that's good. - I think that was a good buy.- Yeah.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51Their third item was this Art-Deco lady.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Now, both of them fell in love with this.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Jonathan, do you think it's super?
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I'm a great fan of the Art Deco style, I like it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01This is a reproduction, obviously.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05It's a model after Ferdinand Priess or Chiparus or Lorenzl.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08They were Deco sculptors in the early part of the 20th century,
0:28:08 > 0:28:12sort of 1915, 1920 to the '20s and '30s.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Very popular, because of its popularity, reproductions are made
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- in their numbers. - Will your buyers like this?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21They will like it, yeah. Everybody loves a bit of Deco.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Estimate, Jonathan?
0:28:23 > 0:28:2480 to £120.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Right, well, they paid 120.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27They may not need their bonus buy,
0:28:27 > 0:28:30but we're going to go and have a look at it anyway.
0:28:31 > 0:28:36Gary, Robina, you spent £205.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39And you gave Danny 95.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Danny, what did you buy?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43I bought something which...
0:28:45 > 0:28:46..you're going to love.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- What?- Yes.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52It's an old easel, an old school easel,
0:28:52 > 0:28:54but quite a special one, this.
0:28:54 > 0:29:00It's ESA, which is Esavian, a British make round about the '40s,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04round about the '50s, and they supplied a lot of stuff to schools,
0:29:04 > 0:29:06but nowadays it's quite in vogue,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08all this school furniture, basically.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11I just think it's quite adaptable, really.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14You can use it probably in a restaurant
0:29:14 > 0:29:16where you've got the menu on it,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19you can use it at home, it can be used in schools,
0:29:19 > 0:29:22and it's pleasant also to the eye. So what do you think of it?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I like it a lot. I remember using one like that at school.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27As soon as you said ESA, I remembered using those at school.
0:29:27 > 0:29:33I'm not sure, to be honest. I can see its use in other areas.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- What do you think would be a good price?- £20?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Ooh! Well, I paid a bit more than that.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I think about 50.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- 40.- I like that.- I'm not sure.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47You're not sure? Well, you don't have to make up your mind just now.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- Wait until your first three items have been sold.- OK.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53But in the meantime,
0:29:53 > 0:29:56let's find out what the auctioneer thinks about Danny's easel.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Now, Danny's bonus buy was this artist's easel.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- Do you like that?- I do, yeah.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07It's a practical thing, but it can be used by many people.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Some people like to display them at home, something like that,
0:30:10 > 0:30:13if you've got a big enough room, but otherwise, dealers like them.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16We sell lots of paintings so there will be people here who will be
0:30:16 > 0:30:17- interested in it.- Yeah. Estimate?
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- 30 to £50.- Well, they paid 40, so,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23looks like there could be a profit in Danny's bonus buy.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Let's go on to the Blues now.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Bob and Ali both loved this little balloon clock.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Tell me what you think.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33I do quite like these sort of things.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36There's a little bit of decoration to it. The American maker might...
0:30:36 > 0:30:39You know, you'd want an English one, I suppose, you're in England.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42It's a nice piece in the style of the period and it's nice and honest.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44OK, what's your estimate?
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- 20 to 40.- Well, they only paid £28.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50- OK. Stands a chance.- Yeah, so we could have a profit here.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53Second item, a pair of silver bottle tops.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56What do you think of that purchase?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58They're missing the bottles!
0:30:58 > 0:31:01But I suppose you could argue that the value is in the top and they're
0:31:01 > 0:31:04in reasonable condition... A bit flat on one side, perhaps,
0:31:04 > 0:31:05but that's what they are.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I mean, when you've got them with the bottles,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11you can get 30 or £40 each for them sometimes, but they haven't,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13so they're going to be limited to the buyer.
0:31:13 > 0:31:14It's not something they can take home and say,
0:31:14 > 0:31:16"I'm going to leave them on the dressing table."
0:31:16 > 0:31:19There's no use directly for them so the trader would be interested and
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- that's probably about it. - Yeah. What's your estimate?
0:31:22 > 0:31:24- £5 to 10.- 5 to 10.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27They paid £24 for them, so they could be in trouble there.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- I don't think they'll make a profit. - Their third item was a little brooch
0:31:31 > 0:31:34and it was modelled as a riding crop.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36Now, will your buyers like that little brooch?
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I think they will cos it's something that's very wearable, isn't it?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41It's made of silver.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I suppose the downside, perhaps, is it's a continental piece,
0:31:43 > 0:31:46not an English piece, but it's got some age, too, so it's
0:31:46 > 0:31:50- quite a...quite a nice little object.- Yeah. Estimate please?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- 30 to 50.- Well, they only paid £9 for that
0:31:53 > 0:31:56so that's looking quite good.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59But the worrying thing is the bottle tops.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01So they may need their bonus buy
0:32:01 > 0:32:05and we're going to go and have a look at it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10Bob, Ali, you spent a wee, wee, tiny £61.
0:32:10 > 0:32:16- Careful with your money. - Oh, yes.- And you gave David £239.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18What on earth did you do that for?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20David, what did you buy?
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Talking of wee things,
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I'm going to show you a wee drinking glass.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Oooh! May I?
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Go for it, it's so small and it's so simple, but I'm going to tell you,
0:32:30 > 0:32:31there's an awful lot going on there.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33- That's old.- Well done, Bob!
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- That's great, you should be an antiques dealer.- No chips.- Yeah.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Mind you, you wouldn't get much of a drink out of that, would you?
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Very good point. So what's it for?
0:32:43 > 0:32:44I don't know, is it spirits?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Yes. Any liquor. Toasting.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Date, Ali?- Well, I'll go very old.
0:32:49 > 0:32:51"Very old," you're ridiculous!
0:32:51 > 0:32:531860, '70?
0:32:53 > 0:32:54Earlier.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Really?- George III period, circa 1800.
0:32:57 > 0:32:58- Ooh.- I wasn't far out.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01And it could be called many things, it could be called a rummer,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04it could be called a dram glass, a toasting glass, a shot glass,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08but I'm going to stick my head on the block and call it a firing glass.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11You're in a tavern - this is 1805, the Battle of Trafalgar -
0:33:11 > 0:33:14you are toasting Lord Nelson's victory.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- What do you do?- You smash the glass afterwards.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19You don't smash it, you do this, Bob -
0:33:19 > 0:33:20you toast, you drink...
0:33:22 > 0:33:24- ..and you slam on the tavern table. - OK.- Ah.
0:33:24 > 0:33:25All your mates are doing the same,
0:33:25 > 0:33:27so you have this constant bang, bang.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30Shot, the sound of a musket shot,
0:33:30 > 0:33:35so they were referred to as firing glasses, later called shot glasses.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Has David sold it to you?
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Oh, yeah, definitely. - David, how much?
0:33:41 > 0:33:4215.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- 15?- Ooh, 15.- £15.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48But you don't need to make up your mind just at this moment.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Wait until your first three items have been sold.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53And in the meantime,
0:33:53 > 0:33:58let's find out what the auctioneer thinks of David's firing glass.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00Now, I'm going to slap...
0:34:02 > 0:34:05..this little striker on the table.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07What do you think of this?
0:34:07 > 0:34:11It's rather neat, isn't it? It's very tactile, it's got the age,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13when you start learning about English glass.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15It's a couple of hundred years old and a little bit more,
0:34:15 > 0:34:18and for that to last all the time, it's actually rather nice.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19What's your estimate?
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- 30 to £50.- 30 to 50? Well, that's terrific,
0:34:22 > 0:34:25because David only paid £15.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27There could be a profit in that.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28You're our auctioneer today.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30- Yes, I am.- Excellent!
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I can't wait.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Any other bids?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35INDISTINCT AUCTIONEERING
0:34:35 > 0:34:3740.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Gary, Robina, here we are at the auction.

0:34:43 > 0:34:44How are you feeling, Robina?
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- A bit excited, really.- A bit excited, yeah.- A little bit nervy.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Uh-huh. Gary, what about you? - Loving it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54You're loving it! You're loving it!
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Well, auctions are exciting.
0:34:56 > 0:35:01Your first item was that lovely set of Art Nouveau silver buttons.

0:35:05 > 0:35:08because they're coming up right now.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04£25, I'm selling...
0:36:04 > 0:36:0625.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08You're still in profit.

0:36:15 > 0:36:18Your third item is the Art Deco figure.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20It was your favourite one, wasn't it?
0:36:20 > 0:36:22It was my favourite, I loved it.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- It was your big ticket item.- Yep. - You paid a lot of money,
