0:00:03 > 0:00:08Well, today, we are in Oswestry, on the English-Welsh border.
0:00:08 > 0:00:11The New Saints youth team are playing each other in a training
0:00:11 > 0:00:13session, and it's currently 1-1.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16- OK, Eric, let's go.- OK. - Yes, referee, sub!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22But which of our teams are going to
0:00:22 > 0:00:25be champions today at the antique fair down the road?
0:00:26 > 0:00:27- ALL:- Yeah!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Let's go...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33ALL: ..Bargain Hunting!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03Our teams today have not 90, but 60 minutes to run around
0:01:03 > 0:01:07the pitch here at the Oswestry showground.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Armed with £300,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13they have to find three items that hopefully will score high when sold
0:01:13 > 0:01:17at the auction. Let's take a glimpse at what's coming up.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22The Reds leave their expert dumbfounded.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- What's happened?- I've just bought it without consulting Charlie.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31And the Blues find themselves speechless.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- Is it still there? - Oh! Is it sold?
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Oh, no!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41And at our auction today, it's all smiles...
0:01:41 > 0:01:43Hey! Well done!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45..and surprises.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Whoa! Hey!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52But that is all for later. So let's meet today's teams.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And we've got two sets of good friends.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57For the Reds, we've got Beverly and Jean.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And for the Blues, we've got Iwan and Richard.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01- Hello. ALL:- Hello!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04So turning my attention to the Reds, now,
0:02:04 > 0:02:05how long have you two been good friends?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- About 20-25 years, yeah. - Yeah, quite a while, yeah.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10So how did you meet?
0:02:10 > 0:02:13At work. We worked together in a college,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17and we worked with adults with learning disabilities and,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- well, we just carried on being good friends, didn't we?- Yeah.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22Yeah, even when we left.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Even when we left.- So, Jean, you've got quite a challenging job,
0:02:25 > 0:02:26I think it's fair to say.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I counsel privately in my own home,
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and I actually think it's quite a privilege.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'm a quirky counsellor, because the fire's going, kettle's on,
0:02:34 > 0:02:36the chocolate biscuits are there,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39so I think I make them feel quite at home.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41I think I'm going to book an appointment with you soon...
0:02:41 > 0:02:44So I mean, you obviously need to unwind.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Mm. I'm a keen bird-watcher.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49I'm not a twitcher, I like just the whole being outside.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52So, Beverly, it strikes me you've got a very interesting job.
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Well, I'm an independent celebrant, so for all the important occasions
0:02:57 > 0:03:02in people's lives, like naming ceremonies, weddings, funerals.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04I offer a personal service, so, you know,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07perhaps to have the ceremony that fits in with their lifestyle or
0:03:07 > 0:03:10their beliefs. So it's a job I really enjoy.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14You're a crafty lady, I know, but in a nice way.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18I'm known for making things, crafting, that's my little hobby.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22There's many things in the house that I've
0:03:22 > 0:03:25put my magic fingers on, from photograph frames,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I've done pieces of furniture... I like to change things,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31I don't like things just to stay as they are.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33So, ladies, what you both know about antiques?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- Jean?- Lifelong love of antiques,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I probably got that from my mum, and I just love going to auctions,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41I love going to car-boot sales, charity shops.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Just really getting in there and seeing what's there.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45So you might be good friends,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48but do you think you're going to make a good team?
0:03:48 > 0:03:49- Yes.- Yes, we are a good team.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Because we've known each other so long.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- Yeah, we know what each other likes.- We do. We're actually
0:03:54 > 0:03:57going to think what's going to maybe sell and make a profit
0:03:57 > 0:04:00rather than something that, "Oh, we'd love that ourselves."
0:04:00 > 0:04:01That's going to be hard for us.
0:04:01 > 0:04:05- Well, good luck, good luck, Reds. - We need it.- Thank you.- OK.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Turning my attention to the Blues, Iwan and Richard.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Now, Iwan, how did you two lads meet in the first place?
0:04:11 > 0:04:15My mum used to be a teacher at Richard's primary school,
0:04:15 > 0:04:16so I vaguely knew him back then.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19But since we started high school and...same class,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22same subjects, similar interests,
0:04:22 > 0:04:25we've just been best friends since, really.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26So, what do you do, Iwan?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I work on the family farm,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31which has been in the family for seven generations.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32Wow, that's something.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35We keep a thousand-odd sheep, and cattle as well.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Added to that, I do a bit of part-time forestry contracting.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41You're a man of the great outdoors, aren't you?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- I am, yeah.- Yeah, all that fresh air.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45That's probably why you've grown so tall, actually.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Probably, probably.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49So, Richard, what do you do?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53I also work on that family farm, which we have dairy and sheep.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56What time of the day does your job start?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I generally get up about half four to start,
0:04:58 > 0:05:02and then my day generally finishes about six.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05With night checks as well, so it keeps us very busy.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08You're doing this every day of the year, yes?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- Yes.- I mean, Christmas Day.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yes, the cows get their Christmas dinner before I do, so yeah.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Hey!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- But it's all part of the job, and it's... You do enjoy it.- So,
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Richard, when you do have some spare time on that farm, I mean, what do you do?
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I'm part of a choir, so me and Iwan actually sing together as well,
0:05:25 > 0:05:30and then I do enjoy travelling, so once I graduated from university,
0:05:30 > 0:05:33I went travelling around the world, so yeah, it was quite an experience,
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- I have to say.- What do you two know about the world of antiques and
0:05:37 > 0:05:41- collectibles?- I'm a cheat, but not an expert by no means.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43I know nothing about antiques, except for watching Bargain Hunt.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Need you do any more than watch this programme?
0:05:45 > 0:05:48No, we've got our expert hopefully to guide us in the right direction.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Exactly. Well, good luck guys, you're going to need some money to spend, there's your £300.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56And, Reds, there's your £300.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58And this is where you go off and you meet your experts.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- Thank you.- Bye-bye.
0:06:00 > 0:06:06So, it's the crafty ladies versus the fun-loving young farmers.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I'm looking forward to this.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Time for them all to meet their experts.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Keeping a close eye on the Reds, it's Charles Hanson.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22And en garde for the Blues, it's Kate Bliss.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27- What's our plan?- We're going to look for things that are practical.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- Mm-hmm.- Useful.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Mm-hmm.- Cheap.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- OK. And cheerful.- And cheerful.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Something big, something agricultural but something practical as well.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Something small, because people haven't got big houses now, so...
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- We're going for the unusual. - OK.
0:06:42 > 0:06:43It's got to be useful, I...
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Yeah. You've got to be able to use it.- Yeah, you're practical boys, aren't you?- Yeah, we are.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Right, teams, your 60 minutes starts now.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51PEEP!
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Follow me!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55- Come on, then, let's get started. - Lovely.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58So, practical and useful is the name of the game today.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01I can't say I like plates.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03You know, I could've guessed that, Richard?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Yeah.- What about you, do you like plates?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Um, only to eat off, yeah.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- They're not generally... - Come on then, we'll skip the plates.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Good luck with these two, Kate. I think you might need it.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I love your red trainers, are they good for running in?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Oh, yes.- Oh, you've still got it, girls.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25But the Blues don't need to run, they've got eagle-eyed Richard.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Right, I really love that hammer.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- What's that?- Straight away.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Straight away, that's your kind of thing, isn't it?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yeah, yeah, it's useful, isn't it?
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- It's practical, it's fairly... - Big.- ..agricultural.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I guess you could bang your fence posts in with this.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40Yeah, it could be a new gavel for yourself.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Yeah, do you know, you could sell a few things with that, could you?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Yeah, I mean, it's got some age to it, definitely.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49I like the way... Actually, do you see how it's just shiny.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- Aged.- Where it's, yeah, and it's just been handled nicely,
0:07:52 > 0:07:55it's got what we call a bit of a patina on it, you know,
0:07:55 > 0:07:57where through the years it's just picked up a bit of grime.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00It's got polished through use, and through touch.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03I mean, it's almost like a prop, I suppose, today, isn't it?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Yeah.- You might see it in a rustic pub, perhaps, you know that sort of
0:08:06 > 0:08:09thing. But, you know, there's nothing stopping you using it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Should we ask how much it is?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13- There's no harm in asking.- Yeah.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Excuse me, how much is the hammer?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Ten, but eight to you.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Eight to us. Would you take five?
0:08:19 > 0:08:21No, sir. Eight is the last offer.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- £7.- £7.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Do you like it, Iwan?- It's cheap, it's practical,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29and it's fairly big, so yeah, go ahead.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It ticks everything on your list, boys.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I think you got a deal at £7, sir.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Thank you.- Cheers.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40First item, there, Blues, and in two minutes exactly.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43You know, I'll tell you what, fellas, you do not hang around.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Let's hope it does its stuff at the auction.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- Indeed.- Indeed. - Yeah, let's crack on.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53The Blues are racing ahead with their first buy - are the Reds close behind?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56I quite like this over here, look.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Is that the Buddha, or the box?
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Just come round here.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Are you tea or coffee drinkers?
0:09:03 > 0:09:04- Tea.- Tea.- Good answer.
0:09:04 > 0:09:09This tea caddy is probably about 1785.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13And what just caught my eye is that lovely silvered handle.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Yeah.- That's original, OK?
0:09:15 > 0:09:17And we open the lid, what's inside?
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Look at that.- Oh, wow.- Isn't that gorgeous?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21- Yeah.- It's rather nice, actually.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26These canisters with their lids under a lock would have had your
0:09:26 > 0:09:29very expensive Bohea or green tea from China.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33We know it's lacking... What would have gone there, do you know?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- Have a guess.- Well, something...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yeah, something, Jean!
0:09:38 > 0:09:39More tea, perhaps?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41It would have been a glass mixing bowl.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- Oh, OK.- Oh, all right, OK.- And you would have put your tea from the tin
0:09:45 > 0:09:50lining to keep the tea fresh into a bowl to mix it to your nice formula.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Pretty, isn't it?- Yeah, it is quite nice, yeah.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54I love it, I think it's a really nice example, actually.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Quite damaged, though, isn't it?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Well, I suppose, if you were 210 years old...
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Hmm, but how much is it?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04It's 85.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Let's get the dealer in.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07And what would be your best offer on that one?
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I could possibly do 65.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Could you do a little bit less than 65?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16- I was thinking 45.- Oh, no, no, I paid more than that for it.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18- Yeah.- OK, somewhere...
0:10:18 > 0:10:1960 would be my very best.
0:10:19 > 0:10:2160's your very best.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26I would estimate it in a sale to fetch between £60 and £80.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30So I do predict that all-important word, which is...?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31- Profit.- Profit.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Yeah. But the hour is so young,
0:10:33 > 0:10:34we can always mental-note...
0:10:34 > 0:10:38I'll do 55 if that helps you make a decision.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Yeah. 55 is good.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- Are you sure?- Yes.- For that £5, it is worth it, isn't it?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44- Absolutely.- Shake hands.- Yeah.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- Thank you.- Well done, ladies.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48- Thank you.- Grateful.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50Thanks a lot. One down, two to go.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52Good work.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Nine minutes in, it is one apiece and all to play for.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01There is a trowel there, Iwan, you are a bit of a bricklayer.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Yes.- What a find, yes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:04Are you? Qualified bricklayer?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- I am, yeah.- Doesn't mean he can do it though!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Hey!- Well, look, this is just up your street then.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14This just pushes out slightly, do you see that?
0:11:14 > 0:11:15- Oh, wow.- Are you a reader?
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Ah!- No.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Your bookmark. To mark the page.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Quite a fancy one. And you do get silver ones of these.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I'm just looking to see if we've got a little hallmark or a telltale
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- sign. Can you see anything on there?- Yeah.
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Ah, well spotted. Well spotted.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Let's have a little look. Oh, yes.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35It's tiny, tiny.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- There's a number as well.- So there is a number, yeah, exactly.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43And that tells us that it is sterling silver standard.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48In other words, in the silver, it's 925 parts of silver
0:11:48 > 0:11:50to 1,000 parts of alloy.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53So you can't just make an object out of pure silver, otherwise
0:11:53 > 0:11:57it would be too soft. So that's the sterling standard.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00But it also tells me that it is relatively modern,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02because it's got that 925 stamped on it.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05It hasn't got an antique hallmark, OK?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07But it is a lovely little object.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10A mother-of-pearl handle.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11And it's in good condition.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- It is, yeah.- All we need to know is the price.
0:12:15 > 0:12:1835.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- What do you reckon, Ian?- What's the best you could do for us on it, madam? Just in case.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24- SELLER:- 25. But that's it.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26That would be it, would it?
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Yes.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30Hm, I'll leave it with you, Iwan.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32- Not that you're passing the buck. - No!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I think we should come back for that.
0:12:35 > 0:12:36Do you? You're wavering.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Yes.- It's not cheap enough to think, yes, let's have it.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40£20, definitely.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- OK.- Nice try, Iwan.
0:12:43 > 0:12:44He says with a smile.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- No, it is 25. Which, in fairness, is a very good reduction.- Yeah.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Bookmark that bookmark then, Blues.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53You might need it later.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56The Reds, however, have sniffed out a silver perfume bottle,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58priced at £85.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh, that's pretty.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Look at that.- I do like that.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05So, what have we got here, ladies?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09Sell it to me in your best antique knowledge, what are you looking at?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11- It's an old one?- Yes.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14- 1899.- How do you know that? - Because it's on the label!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- Never!- Who needs an expert, eh?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK, Charles. Do your thing.
0:13:20 > 0:13:25That is hallmarked on the rim here, Birmingham, 1899.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27What we look for in any good goblet scent bottle,
0:13:27 > 0:13:29has it got its inner stopper?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31- Yeah, it has.- It's not attached?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32You can pull it out. That's a good sign.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35It does belong there, because you can tell by the way it fits.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38- Yeah.- The only problem is, the mushroom lid looks a bit skewwhiff.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It does.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Would you both use it? Would you both use an antique today?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Jean collects perfume bottles. - I collect perfume bottles.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I just use them as ornaments.
0:13:48 > 0:13:49But you are buying to sell, remember, Jean?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52Now, let's see your haggling skills in action.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53The bottle is £85.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56- SELLER:- 65.- 65?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58I think that is the rock bottom.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03She obviously hasn't met OUR Jean, yet. Good luck!
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- Because it's got a little wonky lid...- It does.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09It has a wonky lid, but is 50 too low?
0:14:09 > 0:14:13- 50 is, it really is.- Can I meet you halfway and go 55?
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Let me have another look at my book.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19OK. Because I do think it is lovely.
0:14:19 > 0:14:20It's an exquisite object, madam.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- What did you say?- 50 originally.
0:14:23 > 0:14:24- No.- 55?
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Can we shake hands at 55.
0:14:26 > 0:14:31- It will have to be 60.- I think 60 is a very, very good price.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- What do you think, Bev? - Yeah, 60 is good.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'll go against my judgment and go for 60.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Which doesn't happen very often, I might add!
0:14:39 > 0:14:40We've gathered that, Jean!
0:14:40 > 0:14:44But you now have item two, a £60 perfume bottle,
0:14:44 > 0:14:47in the bag with over half an hour to go.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Now, are those Blue boys close to buying anything else?
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Nothing is jumping out there.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's stopped raining, I'm going to take you fellas outside.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I think that's a good idea. - Yeah, let's go.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Good idea, a change of tack.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Yeah, look, it's brightening up.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Let's go that way.- Righty-ho.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Meanwhile, Charlie has met up with an old friend.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07I'm enjoying myself immensely and I think with Jean,
0:15:07 > 0:15:10she really is a force to be reckoned with.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12She is driving us forward and hats off to Jean,
0:15:12 > 0:15:14she has really found that gorgeous scent bottle,
0:15:14 > 0:15:16which I think will really bring a good profit.
0:15:16 > 0:15:21Outside, Kate has found something that should suit the musical Blues down to the ground.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25The Songs Of Wales.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Look at that. You're part of a Welsh...
0:15:27 > 0:15:30- Choir.- Here we go then, give us a rendition.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Well...- What can we find?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Let's find something Welsh that you would know.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- It's not in Welsh though, is it? It's in English.- It is in English.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- Can you read Welsh?- Yes, we're both fluent in Welsh as well, yeah, yeah.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Really? "Once a Farmer and his wife."
0:15:43 > 0:15:45If only we knew how it went.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48And only if we could read music properly!
0:15:48 > 0:15:49That would be a start.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51How much is that?
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Well... Let's have a little work.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56- It's right there.- £3.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Look, somebody... Oh, look.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Llinos, is it?- "Chlinos" Humphreys.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- "Chlinos?"- "Chlinos."- "Chlinos."
0:16:02 > 0:16:04That's a Welsh name, isn't it?
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Llinos Humphreys. She's put her address in, 11 years old.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Look, she probably had it at school.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- Yeah.- This is an Edwardian copy.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13I'm just looking for a date, actually.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15I think it is probably very early 20th century.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- And a nice tooled cover.- Yeah.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19The sad thing is,
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- at auction it probably isn't going to make much, in all honesty.- No.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26It's going to be a few pounds, I'm afraid.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It's just a nice thing to have, isn't it?
0:16:28 > 0:16:30You'll have to come back later for that.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32We'll have to come back for that one!
0:16:33 > 0:16:36The song book hasn't hit the right note with our choir boys.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37Move on, then.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39We're halfway through.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41What are the fiery Reds doing?
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I've seen this over here, Charlie.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45And it is saying it is an ebony maritime ruler.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Yes.- I've never seen one of those before.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53These parallel rulers are used to plot courses on nautical maps and charts.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56We're looking for quirky, because we've bought beautiful,
0:16:56 > 0:16:59we've bought practical...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- I like it.- Why?
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Because it is a bit like, different.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Look at you two, I think you're glamorous ladies,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08you know, you're smart,
0:17:08 > 0:17:11and this to me is just almost like a little lost...
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- A bit of rubbish?- No.
0:17:13 > 0:17:18No, I like it. I like it because it has real age.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- I love antiques.- It does, like ourselves, yes.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22But what is an antique, though?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- What's an antique?- Is it 100 years?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Correct. And this goes way beyond that.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- I would take this to around 1830, 1820.- Wow!
0:17:30 > 0:17:34It's almost, you know, it's almost sort of an ebony maritime ruler,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38which could be just about be on the tip of being Napoleonic.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Or being even from the time of Nelson.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44These roundel mounts are very much Georgian,
0:17:44 > 0:17:47and I would say it's a nice,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50tactile antique collectable.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Shall I ask the gentleman if you can do a deal with him?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55Because at that price...
0:17:55 > 0:17:59- How much is it?- Is this something that is going to be saleable?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- I think it's great for £12. Do you agree?- Yeah, for that price, yes.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04OK, but we'll see.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- Go on, then.- Hello.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Hi, there.- Hello. What would you be your very, very best on this?
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I would like £9 for it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- £9.- That is my best price. - That's your very best?- It certainly is, yes.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20OK. So, Bev, what do you think, the gentleman is saying £9.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- I think it is good for £9.- Yeah.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26The final deal is done. Charles, you are surplus to requirements.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28- Sorry.- That's fine.
0:18:28 > 0:18:30OK, what's your best price?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33No, what's the best price? What has he said to you.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- £9.- Eh? What are you giggling about? What has happened?
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I've just bought it without consulting Charlie.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42Has she bought it, sir?
0:18:42 > 0:18:45They sure have!
0:18:45 > 0:18:48I like your style. The show's over!
0:18:48 > 0:18:53Charlie is speechless for once, and the Reds are all done with over 20 minutes left.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55You've made it an easy one.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Is that it?- Yeah.- A cup of tea? - I can't believe you...
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Now, Blues, you've got some serious catching up to do.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06You still need two items. Come on!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Well, I have just nipped inside.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10It's amazing, we started off so well,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12they bought the first thing within minutes.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15And now I think we've just lost our way a little bit.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19We can't quite find something which is agricultural
0:19:19 > 0:19:22or which takes their fancy.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23No.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Personally...- OK, we'll move on.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29So, I think it's time to change tack.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31IN WELSH:
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- I haven't a clue, to be honest. - Train sets?- No, it's not...
0:19:38 > 0:19:41And maybe show them a few things which may not be what they are
0:19:41 > 0:19:44looking for, but might have more chance of making a profit.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49So what do you want to do, guys? We've had a good look outside.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I think we go back in there, innit?
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I don't like the look of that great big dark cloud up there.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55- It's ominous.- Come on, let's leg it.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00I've got a feeling those stormy skies don't bode well for the Blues.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04While they head for cover, I've got something rather special to show you.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13In the 16th and early 17th century,
0:20:13 > 0:20:16the Chinese dominated the porcelain trade,
0:20:16 > 0:20:21but by the mid-1600s production in the country was disrupted when civil
0:20:21 > 0:20:24war broke out, destroying the country's porcelain kilns.
0:20:24 > 0:20:29The Japanese stepped in, exporting ceramics, similar to this one.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Now this is a bottle vase, technically it is referred to as Kakiemon.
0:20:33 > 0:20:41Kakiemon were a family of potters that specialised in this particular type of design.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45Which has this very sort of asymmetrical type of decoration,
0:20:45 > 0:20:50making use of a limited number of colours, be it greens,
0:20:50 > 0:20:52blues and these iron reds.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54And it is entirely hand-painted.
0:20:54 > 0:21:00For me, as a ceramics man, it is ceramic perfection.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Now, from a distance, in all fairness,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05you would be forgiven for thinking that this was the real thing.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07You know, 1760, 1780 Kakiemon.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12In truth, it dates from the late 20th century.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15I mean, you would have to pick it up and look at it to know that it
0:21:15 > 0:21:17wasn't from the 17th century.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20It bears the mark on the base.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24That translates, basically, "made in Arita province".
0:21:24 > 0:21:26And it's signed by the maker.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Now, if I'd have wanted to buy the real thing,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I would have to pay £8,000.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35I paid the princely sum of £20 for it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40Despite the fact it's not of any great age, am I bothered?
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Of course I'm not bothered.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44It's a great pot, no matter what its age.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46So, what is it worth?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47If I put it into an auction,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50I might be lucky if it went into three figures.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54But I'm not holding me breath because it's never going to happen,
0:21:54 > 0:21:55because this pot is mine.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57It's all mine.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Back to the shopping. The Reds are done and dusted already,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11but the cool Blues still need to find two items.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14And after a promising start, they started to flag.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Can Kate convince them to buy something
0:22:16 > 0:22:18that's not on their shopping list?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20We've got about eight minutes, guys.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24- OK.- I'll tell you what, we haven't looked at any jewellery.- No.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28It's not what you sort of set out to buy, but how do you feel about that?
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Erm, at the right price, I think.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Yeah? What about you, Iwan?- Well, it's getting on now, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Well, there are some interesting little things here.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37What do you think of that little pendant?
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- It's all right, isn't it?- Yeah? It's all right.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45It's a really nice, original piece and it is typically
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Edwardian in style.
0:22:46 > 0:22:51It's a very delicate mount and it's set with amethysts and little pearls
0:22:51 > 0:22:53around the outside.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57And I think this is probably nine carat.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- OK.- What do you think?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Oh, it is. It is stamped, which is nice.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04We have got nine carat there. It's very delicate.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And I think quite wearable today, really, considering, you know,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10it's probably 100 years old.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12What do you think, would you buy that for the girlfriend?
0:23:12 > 0:23:15- Well, Richard?- Be honest!
0:23:15 > 0:23:18- Ye-es!- No?
0:23:19 > 0:23:20How much is it?
0:23:20 > 0:23:2478, but I can do it for 68.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Is that a fair price?
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I would put probably 40-60 on that.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33It's the top end of my estimate, but it's got a chance.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Would you go down to 65?
0:23:37 > 0:23:4266, and that is getting really close to what I paid for it.
0:23:42 > 0:23:4466.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Do you know... Oh, crikey! Oh, Lord!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49Oops! Well, you'll have to buy it now, Blues.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Iwan's got it. Is it still in one piece?
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I hope so.- We haven't got much time left, have we?
0:23:56 > 0:23:59- We haven't got much time. - So I think, go for it?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02- Go for it, yeah.- Great. Let's shake the lady's hand.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Thank you very much.- Second item bought with just five minutes to go.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08You're cutting it fine, guys. What's the plan now?
0:24:08 > 0:24:11If we're going to get that little bookmark, we better run.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13- Yeah.- What you think, yes?- Let's go.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14We've got to run. This way, guys.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Yes, run like the wind, Blues.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Meanwhile, Charles has ventured into the rain to treat his team to some
0:24:20 > 0:24:22fish and chips.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26This is the life, isn't it? I think I will try and finish everyone really early.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Oh, save a chip for me!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Three minutes left, time to cement your final purchase, Blues.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Oh, it's here, it's here.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Hi, there. We've got minutes to spare.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- Is it still there?- Oh! Is it sold?
0:24:42 > 0:24:43Oh, no!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46- Oh! That's our plan backfired, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Hang on, what's this?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Oh!
0:24:49 > 0:24:51THEY LAUGH
0:24:51 > 0:24:52You tease!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56What are you like?
0:24:58 > 0:24:59- Oh, yeah, I like it.- Do you?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Do you like the feel of that, do you?- Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03So what do we think then, boys?
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I like it. Since we have come here now,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07and she has saved it especially for us, I think.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09What was your best price again?
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- I can do it for 22.- 22.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- That's fair enough, really.- Yeah, I think we've got to take it.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18The best was £25 before. Shake on it quick!
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Shake the lady's hand.- Well done, boys.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23- Thank you very much.- Great.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Right, that's it. Time's up.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- Well done!- I had a panic, then.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30With about 30 seconds to spare.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Good. Come on, I need a cup of tea.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- And me.- You guys have worn me out.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44First, they bought a Georgian tea caddy for £55.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Next, they sniffed out a late
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Victorian silver scent bottle for £60.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58And, finally, Jean navigated a £9 deal on a maritime ruler.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01So, Red team.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Yes.- I mean, Red is racing.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06You're Formula 1 stuff, aren't you?
0:26:06 > 0:26:08- Absolutely.- You just went for it, big-time.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Yeah. I believe it was a quick time, Charlie, is that right?
0:26:11 > 0:26:13It was one of our quickest ever.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- It was wonderful.- Let me ask you, favourite item?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- The perfume bottle.- With the silver overlay.- It's beautiful.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23And which of the three do you think is going to give you
0:26:23 > 0:26:26- the biggest profit? - The maritime ruler.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Do you think so, do you?
0:26:27 > 0:26:31- Yeah.- That was a very surreptitious buy, wouldn't you say?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- Yes.- So much so, that your expert had no idea.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37So let's keep our fingers crossed now.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Jean, what's your favourite item?
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Again, I love the perfume bottle.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I think it's absolutely beautiful.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43- You do.- It's a beautiful item.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Yeah, it is lovely.- So will that give you the biggest profit?
0:26:46 > 0:26:50- I'm going to go with the ruler, I think. Yeah.- Interesting.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Now, tell me, how much did you two ladies spend?
0:26:52 > 0:26:53124.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55£176, please.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- I have it for you.- Thank you, Beverly. Thank you. There you go, Charles.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01And now I almost feel like the Lone Ranger.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I cannot wait to buy something that is really going to excite you.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- Looking forward to it.- Looking forward to that.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Pleasure.- OK. So whilst Mr Charles Hanson goes off to find that bonus buy,
0:27:10 > 0:27:12let's remind ourselves what the Blue team bought.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16First up, the boys struck a deal on
0:27:16 > 0:27:19a 19th-century rustic mallet for £7.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Next, they spent £66 on a delicate
0:27:23 > 0:27:26gold, amethyst and pearl pendant.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29And finally, they are hoping to
0:27:29 > 0:27:31build a tiny profit on a silver and
0:27:31 > 0:27:35mother-of-pearl bookmark, £22 paid.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38So, you were like a couple of greyhounds straight out of the trap,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42weren't you? I mean, the first buy within two minutes.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47Yes, indeed. We were a bit guns-blazing to begin with.
0:27:47 > 0:27:48We bought a big lump of wood!
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Let me ask you, Richard, favourite item?
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I am going to have to say it is the mallet.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Oh, the mallet, OK.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Which of the three is going to give you the biggest profit?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- Probably the mallet, yes.- The mallet!- It is not going to make much,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02but I think it might make a profit.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04All right. We have got you down as a mallet man.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06What about yourself, Iwan?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08I like the silver trowel.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- You do?- Yeah.- It is dainty.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Dainty, it's silver.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17So it should sell, hopefully for a profit.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Which is the one that is going to give you the biggest profit,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21- do you think?- Hopefully, the silver trowel.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So how much money did you spend, gentlemen?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26We spent 95 altogether.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30So you are going to give me £205.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Oh, Kate.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34What are you going to do with £205?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38I don't know. But I'm going to have some fun with this, aren't I? Look at that!
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Actually I have seen something,
0:28:40 > 0:28:42and it's more along the lines of your first
0:28:42 > 0:28:45purchase. I would say. I'm not going to tell you anything else.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Well, while Kate goes off for the bonus buy,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51we're going off to the auction.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Well, we've come along to Whitchurch to the salerooms of Trevanion and
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Dean, and I'm joined by Christina Trevanion herself.
0:29:06 > 0:29:07- Hello.- Hello.- Down to business?
0:29:07 > 0:29:11- Absolutely.- Let's start with our Red team. This is Jean and Beverly.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15Their first item is a tea caddy, quite a simple one.
0:29:15 > 0:29:16- Yeah.- But I like this.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18I know tea caddies are plentiful.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- What do you think?- Do you know, I absolutely agree with you.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23And often tea caddies you see, they're very ornate,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26they are sort of sarcophagus-shaped and they get all twiddly.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28But there is something quite majestic about this.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30It is simple, it's plain,
0:29:30 > 0:29:33it does what it says it does and it holds your tea.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- It does.- Yeah, like Fort Knox, that one.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39- What you think it's worth? - I put £50-£70 on it.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42They paid £55 for that, which I think was money well spent.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45Yeah, I think so. Definitely. That was a good buy.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49Item number two is this very ornate scent bottle.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Looks as though it has been in the wars.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55I think it has had a drop or something at some stage.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59It needs a bit of work. But then we have had interest in it already.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Oh!- I would put £40-£60 on it.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03I think it should go top end of that.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Well, that is good, because they paid top end, they paid £60 for it.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09- Well, we are happy at that.- Right, and then, quirky thing I think.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Quirky's the word.- Number three.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16It's an ebony parallel ruler, I believe for maritime charts.
0:30:16 > 0:30:17Yeah, absolutely.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I just don't quite know what you would do with it now, really,
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- unless you were a sailor.- I think you bring it out for dinner parties.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Or you can take off the brackets and use those as moustaches.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Well, there is a thought! Either way, what do you think it'll fetch?
0:30:29 > 0:30:30Well, I don't...
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Goodness only knows. I have put £20-£30 on it.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35They only paid £9 for it.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36- Oh, bargain, yeah.- OK.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39But are they going to need their bonus buy?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Either way, let's find out what it is.
0:30:42 > 0:30:47Now, Beverly and Jean, you left our Charles here £176.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Charles...you know, reveal all.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I used to, as a young man, do silver service, many years ago,
0:30:52 > 0:30:54in a restaurant.
0:30:54 > 0:30:58- Did you as well?- Yeah.- Well, roll back the years.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Ah!- A bit of silver service for you.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- Look at this.- Oh, Charles.- I do like that.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Three wonderful peppers.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07- We do like that.- But the star lot are the four salt.
0:31:07 > 0:31:09These are made by Barnard & Sons.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14They are London 1901, with matching spoons as well.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Look how they glisten in the light.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17All solid silver.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20- Absolutely beautiful. - How much did you pay?
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Dare I say, I blew the lot, which was the full £176.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27- I think you bought well, actually. - It's worth it.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29How much do you think that's going to make?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32We might just slip over 176.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Oh, OK.- Ooh!
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Right?- OK.- Ladies, do remember you don't have to make your minds up now.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Wait till you have sold your first three items and then make that
0:31:40 > 0:31:42decision. But in the meantime,
0:31:42 > 0:31:47let's find out what the auctioneer had to say about Charles's
0:31:47 > 0:31:49silver ensemble.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53So, here it is, Christina.
0:31:53 > 0:31:54What a lot you have got.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Yeah! I particularly like the salts, they've got the matching spoons,
0:31:58 > 0:31:59lovely gilt interiors.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Really pretty. And then I think these are a bit of a bonus, really.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05These didn't start life as a little family.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07No, they didn't. So, nice quality.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11- Yeah.- What do you reckon?- Well, I've said £80-£120 on the group.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Well, Charles went out and he paid £176.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Oh, gosh, Charles!
0:32:16 > 0:32:19I don't know. I think this lot may well have legs.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21I think it might need a bit more salt and pepper.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23OK. So, that is the Red team.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26Moving now onto the Blues, Iwan and Richard.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31- Starting with the mallet. What do you think?- Yeah.
0:32:31 > 0:32:32It's a very tactile thing.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34You can see it has had years and years and years of use.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37It has obviously been knocking in the same things for years and years
0:32:37 > 0:32:39and years. I like it very much.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40But I haven't massively rated that,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43I think I have said £20-£30 as a bit of fun.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Well, they bought it as a bit of fun because they only paid £7 for it.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Oh, magic, happy days.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52Item number two, the Edwardian amethyst pendant.
0:32:52 > 0:32:53- What do you think?- Very, very sweet.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Typical of its period.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58They are eternally popular at auction.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Very, very nice. I think I have put £50-£70 on that.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03They paid 66, so...
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- That's not too bad at all.- That's in with a real chance, isn't it?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Yeah.- Absolutely.- OK. Let's go onto our third item, which is the little
0:33:09 > 0:33:12- page marker.- Very sweet and in very good condition - so often,
0:33:12 > 0:33:15you find that either the handles have been broken or the blade has
0:33:15 > 0:33:18obviously had a split to it. But it hasn't.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Yeah, it's all there. It's really sweet.- Yeah. I haven't gone wild.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- I've said £20 to £30. - OK, paid 22.
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Oh, yeah, great buying.- Whether or not the Blue team are going to need their bonus buy,
0:33:27 > 0:33:28let's find out what it is.
0:33:30 > 0:33:35So, Iwan and Richard, you left our Kate £205 to go and spend.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36Kate, just reveal all.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- OK, you ready?- BOTH: Yes!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Tada!
0:33:42 > 0:33:45So... There's a little snigger going on.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- Did you hear that?- What is that?
0:33:47 > 0:33:48A little snigger there.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Have a little look at it.
0:33:51 > 0:33:52- Have a guess.- I haven't a clue.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- Woodworking tool?- Good thought.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I can see why you're thinking that.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01It is for administering the last rites on a fish.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05And it's called a priest for that reason.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09So it's made of fruit wood and it dates from the 19th century,
0:34:09 > 0:34:10could even be Georgian, actually.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13It's got a lovely patina to it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:14So how much did you pay for it?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16I paid 12.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- Ooh!- Is that good
0:34:18 > 0:34:21- or bad?- And how much is it going to go for?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25My husband is a bit of a fisherman and I've bought him one of these...
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Is he going to be there today, though?- He's not, sadly.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- Well...- But I had to pay £60 for mine.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35So I think £12 is a good buy.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37You don't have to make up your minds
0:34:37 > 0:34:40until you've sold your first three items, but in the meantime,
0:34:40 > 0:34:43let's find out what the auctioneer has to say
0:34:43 > 0:34:45about Kate's knockout item.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50So this is Kate's bonus buy.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Described as a wooden priest.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55It's clearly seen a lot of wear.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- Yeah.- Obviously all of these wonderful knocks and things on here,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02it's a great, nice bit of treen, nice displayable piece.
0:35:02 > 0:35:03I haven't gone crazy.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05I've said £15-£20 on it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Kate paid only £12 for it.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Oh, good girl. Very good price.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Yeah. So are you taking the sale?
0:35:11 > 0:35:12- I am, yes indeed.- Excellent.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14We are looking forward to it.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16At 75, 75 I have.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18Thank you. At £75.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20So how is the excitement factor at the moment?
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- It's high.- It's very high at the moment.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- Yes, very high.- Well, your first item's coming up.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28It's the rather nice mahogany tea caddy.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30I do like it. It's coming up now.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33Regency walnut tea caddy, very beautiful example, this.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37Start me at £40, somebody. This is absolutely beautiful.
0:35:37 > 0:35:3840 I have online.
0:35:38 > 0:35:4045, 50 at the back.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42Thank you, anyway, at £50.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- One more!- Looking for five now.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46At £50, 55, thank you, madam.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49£55, looking for 60.
0:35:49 > 0:35:5260 there bid. 65, madam?
0:35:52 > 0:35:53Go on, it's lovely. 65 I have.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- Thank you.- Oh, you're in, you're in.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57With the lady in pink,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59if we are all done at £65...
0:36:00 > 0:36:02Hey, well done.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Good start, gives you a plus £10.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06Your next item's coming up,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09it's your silver mounted scent bottle.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11You paid £60 and here it comes.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12It needs a little TLC,
0:36:12 > 0:36:14but nonetheless, it's very pretty, isn't it?
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Start me at £40.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17It's got to be worth that all day long, hasn't it?
0:36:17 > 0:36:1940... 60 is bid straight away.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21One more we need.
0:36:21 > 0:36:2265 with you, sir.
0:36:22 > 0:36:2470.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26- Perfect.- ..and 75, sir.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2975. It's going against you online.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31So it's 75 and 80 is bid.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Five, sir? 85.
0:36:33 > 0:36:34At 85 in the room.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Looking for 90.- It's wonderful.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40I will sell then to my room bidder if we're all done at £85.
0:36:41 > 0:36:4585. That's given you £25 profit.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48So we're now at plus £35.
