0:00:02 > 0:00:04Today, I'm in Carmarthenshire in the south-west of Wales,
0:00:04 > 0:00:09famous for its coastline, castles and its cricket.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12In fact, the first-ever recorded Welsh cricket match was played in
0:00:12 > 0:00:171783, just outside the county town of Carmarthen.
0:00:17 > 0:00:23Will our teams be bowled over at the antiques fair, or will they be hit for six at the auction?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27THEY CHEER
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Today's antiques fair is set in the beautiful grounds of the
0:00:55 > 0:00:58National Botanic Garden of Wales near Carmarthen,
0:00:58 > 0:01:01which has been transformed into a treasure trove of the unusual and
0:01:01 > 0:01:06unique, with over 100 stalls dotted around the site.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Now, our teams have £300 and just one hour in which to buy three items
0:01:10 > 0:01:13to take off to auction and hopefully make a profit.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Now, let's have a sneaky peek at what's coming up.
0:01:16 > 0:01:21The Reds are embracing all things Oriental.
0:01:21 > 0:01:26- Do you read Chinese?- No, I wish I could.- Well, you're no use to me, are you?!
0:01:26 > 0:01:28The Blues believe hope will spring eternal.
0:01:28 > 0:01:2965.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31- Yeah.- But it had 72 on it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35- It had 72 on it.- So it's coming down.- It's coming down, yeah.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36They're keen to get rid of it.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Over at the auction, the Reds are feeling tense.
0:01:40 > 0:01:45- 12, 12, that's OK.- Ooh! - 15.- Taking off now.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46And the Blues get a surprise.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47- 35.- Ooh!- Oh!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51- We're in, we're in.- God, your dad's good, isn't he?
0:01:53 > 0:01:55And I get to indulge my passion.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00Don Bradman was to cricket like Pele was to football.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04But that's all for later. Now let's meet today's teams, and for the Red
0:02:04 > 0:02:07team we have mother and daughter Gloria and Ceralyn.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11And for the Blues, we have father and daughter Berwin and Emily.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13Hello, everyone. ALL: Hello.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Now, Gloria, you're supposed to be retired, but you do an awful lot,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- don't you?- I do, I keep myself busy.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- What do you do?- I learned to play the guitar when I was 60.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25- Good Lord!- I've been playing for 17 years.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- Yeah.- I do open nights, I do a bit of gigging.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Yeah.- I like to write my own songs.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- Do you?- I love to entertain.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I like being entertained.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37Could you sing me a song, one that you've written yourself?
0:02:37 > 0:02:40# I wandered that mountain
0:02:40 > 0:02:42# Alone and blue
0:02:42 > 0:02:43# Oh, oh
0:02:43 > 0:02:46# Shadow there behind me
0:02:46 > 0:02:49# I keep thinking that it's you. #
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Well, it probably was!- Well, don't tell anybody.- That's wonderful.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Fantastic. How do you relax, then?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58I've got a caravan home down in West Wales, see...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Yes.- ..about five miles from Tenby.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Yeah.- So I spend the biggest part of my summer down there, and, there
0:03:03 > 0:03:05again, I was late when I learned to swim.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07What age did you learn to swim?
0:03:07 > 0:03:0858, 60?
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- Good grief. You're a late starter, aren't you?- I've got an awful lot of catching up to do, you know.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16You have, but you seem to be doing a very good job of it.
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Thank you!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Wonderful. Now, Ceralyn, how do you keep up with this active mum of yours?
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Well, I don't, really.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- She's a lot more active than I am, I can tell you.- Is she?
0:03:24 > 0:03:25How do you spend your time?
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Relaxing. I enjoy crosswords.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29- Yes.- Sudoku,
0:03:29 > 0:03:34and I've recently acquired a new dog, so I take her walking quite a lot as well.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Ooh, lovely. What about work?
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I'm a social care worker, part-time.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Yes.- So I'm out in the community a lot...
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- Are you?- ..mostly with the elderly, and I just love my job.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- I get a lot of job satisfaction out of it.- Do you? Yeah, yeah.- Yes, I do.- Tremendous.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Now, what about antiques, you two?
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Any love of antiques?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Being an antique myself, I am quite experienced.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55No, I have a few.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58We both collect Nao and Lladro porcelain.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- Yeah.- Which isn't really antiques, but it's...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- No, but it's quite collectable.- Yes, yes.- Good. Will you be getting on?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Will you be going for the same sort of things?
0:04:05 > 0:04:08We've got a lot of interests the same, so I think, yeah, we'll do very well.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- There won't be any squabbling over items?- Oh, I hope not.- Oh, definitely not.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- I hope not.- Not in all these years, we've never quarrelled.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Really?- So I hope we don't have to do it today.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21- There's always a first time, on Bargain Hunt!- Oh, no, no, no, no, no.- Don't say that!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23- Well, good luck to you two.- Thank you very much.- Thank you, the Reds.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Now, onto the Blues - Berwin and Emily.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Berwin, what do you do for a living?
0:04:27 > 0:04:31I'm a farmer, then, I'm coming from several generations of our family
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- have been farming, then.- Really?
0:04:33 > 0:04:34So, livestock?
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Crops, livestock and pheasants.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40- Pheasants?- Yeah. We've got hundreds of cows and I know most of them by
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- sight and by name.- That's absolutely amazing.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45The pheasants, I'm still working on them.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48And what do you do in your spare time?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I get myself involved in a lot of organisations that are involved in
0:04:51 > 0:04:55the countryside. I've been a past chairman of the Welsh Ploughing Society,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58when the Welsh ploughing match was in our area.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Really? Now, Emily, are you a good plougher?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02No, not really.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05My dad doesn't really trust me on the tractors that much.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- Does he not?- No, unfortunately.- Do you get involved on the farm at all?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- Yes, yeah, I enjoy helping my dad out, yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- But actually, you're studying medicine, aren't you?- I am, yes.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15At the moment I'm living in Cardiff.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17- I'm in my third year, studying medicine.- Yeah.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Hopefully, one day, I'll be moving back to West Wales.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- You want to do that?- Yeah, I hope to pursue a career as a GP.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Well, good luck with that.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27What do you do if you have any spare time, which you probably don't?
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Well, I'm a member of the Young Farmers Club and I enjoy doing all
0:05:30 > 0:05:34sorts of things, like acting and flower arranging, etc.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36But I also like to do a bit of travelling.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Yes.- So last summer, I went to Vietnam and Cambodia.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Really?- Fantastic experience.- Yeah.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Gosh, how wonderful.- And hopefully by the time I leave university,
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I've got plans to go to South America.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48We're leaving Dad at home, are we?
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- Yes, unfortunately.- Leave him with the pheasants.- Yeah, he has to stay on the farm!
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Now, when it comes to tactics, you two, how will you get on?
0:05:57 > 0:06:01THEY SPEAK WELSH
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- What does that mean?- I'm sure we'll get along just fine.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- Oh, good.- Supposedly, I'm the brains behind my dad's business mind, so...
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- we'll see!- Now what you will need, of course, if you're going shopping,
0:06:12 > 0:06:13is a little bit of...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Money!
0:06:15 > 0:06:16Money, money, money.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Now, steady, steady, Gloria.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23It's all coming. £300 for you and £300 for you.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Have a great time. ALL: Thank you.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Off you go shopping. ALL: Thank you.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29We have social work versus farming,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31but who will milk a profit?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36So let's meet the experts who'll be giving our teams a helping hand.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Hoping to churn out a profit for the Reds, it's Nick Hall.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44And stirring things up for the Blues, it's Gary Pe.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, what's on the shopping list?
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I'd like to look for maybe a little bit of Georgian silver.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- BERWIN:- Possibly some agricultural equipment or rustic farmhouse furniture.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I'm prone to liking crystal.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56Well, I like crystal, too.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- Maybe some old toys, or anything that's going to make us a profit, really.- OK.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Right, teams, your time starts now.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- NICK:- Come on.- GARY:- Let's go!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Now, that's quite a shopping list,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09but luckily there's plenty on offer
0:07:09 > 0:07:11here under this spectacular dome,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13the largest single-span glasshouse in the world.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Don't be distracted by this beautiful environment.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19And straightaway, the Blues have spotted something from their
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- shopping list.- A lot of wood, a lot of rustic.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I like that toy.- Really? - It's fantastic, yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28There's another one behind it as well.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Oh, my goodness. Oh, that's a bit more lifelike.- BOTH: Yeah.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32This one is a bit more country, I think.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Yes. You know, with sort of the barrel body, which is a bit more unusual.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Has it been modified, do you think?
0:07:38 > 0:07:40- Or is it...?- It's a home-made piece...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- Ah, right.- ..I think.- In its original state?
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Yes. Well, a few bits missing, as you can see from the ear.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Yes, yes, yeah.- That is more traditional.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Yeah.- Probably '50s, '60s.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54I think I prefer that one, but then that one's more unusual.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- It has a charm about it.- Yeah.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58It almost looks like, sort of, a puppet.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00- Yes.- Out of those one of those children's shows, isn't it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Well, that sounds intriguing.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Now, have the Reds found something just as captivating?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Is that what they call fairy lustre?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Oh, if only it was.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10- No?- It is lustre.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Right.- Fairy lustre is a design by Daisy Makeig Jones for Wedgwood
0:08:14 > 0:08:16- in the 1930s, and it's smothered in fairies.- Right.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18This, of course, has got little lizards in it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- Oh.- It's by a different firm.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24The mark's rubbed. I suspect it's probably Crown Fieldings,
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- Crown Devon, mimicking the Daisy Makeig Jones lustres, but back in the '30s.- Right.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32If you look closely, you see the gilding on the edge?
0:08:32 > 0:08:36- Yeah.- Ah, right, OK.- That's worn off. It is £35.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- Right.- Now, if it had been by Wedgwood, I'd have said,
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- "Yes, we'll go for it."- OK. - Because it's a...
0:08:41 > 0:08:45a relatively minor factory in not great condition, we might struggle.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- OK. All right, then.- But it was a great spot.- Yeah.- I love your eye.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Well done, Gloria.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53A promising start. Right, Blues, so what's the news on the horses?
0:08:53 > 0:08:58We were wondering, these two wonderful horses, how much do they cost?
0:08:58 > 0:09:01That one there is £65.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04- Right.- And that one's 50.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05- Right.- Emily?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Yes.- The person who owned it said it was called Emily.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Oh, right.- It's got your name all over it.- Well, well.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Well, if that's not a sign, I don't know what is.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16That possibly has more commercial appeal.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19- Yes.- Yeah.- But then this probably more has artistry.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Do you prefer this one? - Oh, I don't know.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25- You choose, Dad.- No, God, no, you choose! No, no.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Well, someone had better make a decision. Gary?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31We're really interested in this horse.
0:09:31 > 0:09:32- Yeah.- Emily?- Yes.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34The best price I think is £40.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Oh, no, no.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39It doesn't work like that. Where we come from, I make you an offer for it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- It's got to be 40. - We'll do 35 in it. Yeah?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Look, my hand's out, Terry. - Hold on, just a minute.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47It's nothing to do with me, this one.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I hope you haven't scared the poor man off!
0:09:49 > 0:09:51- There's hope!- Yeah, there is always hope, yeah.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- Yeah, you've got it. £35. - Thank you so, so much.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56You can ride that home. It's called Black Bess now.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01- Oh, Black Bess, she is, now? - Not Emily?- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Well, that's a great start.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06The Blues are out of the gates with their first purchase,
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and they're not even ten minutes in.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10We've got our toy.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14- Yeah.- Brilliant.- So time for your agricultural equipment.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Now, with farming on their mind, the Blues plough on.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20The Reds, though, are looking for something far from rural.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23There's a silver trumpet vase there.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24This one on the bottom shelf?
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- Yeah.- Yeah. OK. See, that is what we're looking for.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29That is a full set of hallmarks.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Birmingham assay mark.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's an early 20th-century piece,
0:10:32 > 0:10:35loosely based on an 18th-century Georgian style,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37that sort of neoclassicism.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39145.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Wow! It's £145, which is a bit of an issue.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Yeah, it is an issue.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- I think you're going to struggle to make a profit, if I'm honest with you.- Yeah, I think so too.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51Good advice, Nick - so the vase stays put.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Found anything rustic yet, Blues?
0:10:53 > 0:10:57This has come from some country kitchen sort of in the middle of nowhere.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59It's got a lot of character to it.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01- Character, yes.- Very, very authentic.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03- Yes, exactly.- Yeah.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07- I'm not sure if it was in auction on its own it wouldn't look as impressive.- No.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- All right, OK.- I think we'll leave that one.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11So that's a no, then. Anything else here?
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- A lovely detail here, this porcelain.- BOTH: Yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17What does it say? Justice and..."fides".
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Ah, right.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Now, what is "fides"?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Is it fidelity?
0:11:23 > 0:11:25I can't remember. I failed my Latin, you know.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26LAUGHTER
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Well, you've done better than us, at least you've tried it.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30I've never done Latin before!
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- More of a kitchen item.- More a kitchen, that's right.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35So I want more enthusiasm than that.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39So, whilst Gary fails to impress his team, is Nick faring any better?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43I've got something slightly unusual which I think you might be intrigued by.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Ooh.- Oh, yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Do you know what that is?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47It's a water bottle of some sort?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49A kettle, a
0:11:49 > 0:11:51- water heater?- You're not far off.
0:11:51 > 0:11:52It's a Chinese bed warmer.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Oh, good gracious!
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Not a bed-wetter, a bed warmer.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- They're very different things.- Yeah.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Age-wise, I'm not hugely convinced it's period.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07I suspect it's probably an export piece, made in the style of the 18th
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and early 19th-century wares, but it's just unusual.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12I like the fact that it's tactile.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- It's got a nice shape to it. - It is, I like the shape.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I like the gilding, I like the fact I don't know what that says. Do you read Chinese?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- No, I wish I could.- Well, you're no use to me, are you?!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23It's just an unusual thing.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24What price is on that then, Nick?
0:12:24 > 0:12:25Well, that's not so good news.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29It's £120 before we negotiate.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31OK. Oh, it is quite heavy, isn't it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:32- Is it?- Yeah, feel it.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- I quite like it.- I do, yes.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37Well, it certainly is unusual.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40I wonder if the dealer can enlighten us further.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44I had a Chinese lady who yesterday came and explained to me
0:12:44 > 0:12:45- exactly what it was.- Right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- She said, that is a blessing in Chinese.- Oh!- OK.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51And that is a little spring poem.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54It's something about the sun comes out in the sky,
0:12:54 > 0:12:55the flowers start to bloom,
0:12:55 > 0:12:57and then we know that spring has arrived.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59Well, that sounds like Carmarthen, doesn't it?
0:12:59 > 0:13:02- It does indeed!- What sort of price can we do on it? - I've got 120 on it.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- I know.- I can do it...95.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07A bit lower than that,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- please?- Could you go anywhere nearer sort of the 70 mark?
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Er...- Is that possible?
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Does that leave you a bit of a profit?
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Come on.- Does that warm your bed?
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- 75.- Does that warm your bed? - 75 and we've got a deal.
0:13:18 > 0:13:20- 73.- 73!
0:13:20 > 0:13:24That seems a nice, round, unusual number, doesn't it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:25- £73.- 73, go on, then.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- OK.- We're done.- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Great job, Reds, and Gloria seals the deal.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34So, after 20 minutes, it's all square with one item apiece,
0:13:34 > 0:13:38but there's no rest, and Emily's had an idea.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41What about this very traditional Welsh blanket over here?
0:13:41 > 0:13:45- It's very colourful, isn't it? - That's right.- I really like this one.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46Do you think it's handmade?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I wouldn't have thought so.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I think the patterns are a bit too regular for it to be handmade. - BOTH:- Yeah.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- Certainly very colourful. - I don't think so, Emily.
0:13:54 > 0:13:58- I'm not sure.- We need something that oozes an antique quality,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00especially when it comes to fabrics.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- We'll move on.- We'll move on.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04So it's a no for the Welsh blanket.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Meanwhile, Nick has a tempting offer for the Reds.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Would you like to get a quick, cheap,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14easy second item and give you a full half-hour for your last one?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Yeah.- Yes.- I've just spotted something.- Oh, right, OK.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Well, who could resist a tempting offer like that, eh?
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Now, don't be a SORE loser.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- Men's tools.- It caught my eye because there is a growing movement
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- for collecting early tools.- Right.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Now, by early tools we're talking about 19th-century.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Look at this, solid brass top there,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37stamped with the maker's names and all the relevant details you want,
0:14:37 > 0:14:41but a really nice British fruit wood handle,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44all shaped in a wonderful patination and, if you turn it
0:14:44 > 0:14:47over, look at the quality of the fittings on that.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- Are they all original fittings as well?- All original. All of that...
0:14:50 > 0:14:52That's not the date, is it, on there?
0:14:52 > 0:14:5325.1.94.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Yeah.- That could well be the date.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58I mean, it would be 1894, which would be in keeping,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00because this is clearly a piece of Victorian tool.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02And I just think, for the princely
0:15:02 > 0:15:07sum of £12 before we've haggled,
0:15:07 > 0:15:12this is a nice collectable boys' toys, chap's thing, you know?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- Yes.- I like it.- 12 quid, get it for a tenner, what do you think?
0:15:15 > 0:15:17- Yeah. Excellent.- Shall we try? - Yeah.- Yes, definitely.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Try and get it for nine if you can.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Cor, she's good!
0:15:21 > 0:15:25So, whilst Nick goes off to cut a deal, what have the Blues picked up?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27The spring mechanisms are still there and intact.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32- Yes, yes.- The seat's been replaced at some point in its life.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Could do with a bit of a polish.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37- It's an antique!- Ah.- You expect a bit of dust...
0:15:37 > 0:15:38To have gathered over the years?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Original dust.- Ah!
0:15:41 > 0:15:45It's got 65, but it had 72 on it.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- It had 72.- So it's coming down. - It's coming down.- Coming down!
0:15:48 > 0:15:51They're keen to get rid of it.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Yeah, Berwin, there's hope for a bargain here,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56but haven't you already got a wooden rocker?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58We've had a rocking horse already.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00- Yeah.- Do we need a rocking chair as well?- Yeah.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01Too many rocking things.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- Yeah. We'll come back to it.- We think we'll leave it for now, Gary.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09OK, one for the back burner, but remember, time is flying.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Now, what about that £12 saw, Nick?
0:16:11 > 0:16:15- Oh, I'm working hard for you today! - Good.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17We've got it for £9, if you want it.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Yeah, definitely.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Right, I'm going to go and pay the man.- Yes.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- You've got your tools. You go and find me that third thing. - OK.- Lovely.- Thank you.- Thank you!
0:16:24 > 0:16:25Well, that was easy.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27Now, over to the Blues.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29- Closing in on half an hour.- BOTH: Yeah.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33So, with the pressure mounting and the Blues scouting out purchase number two,
0:16:33 > 0:16:37I've got something which is sure to knock you for six.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47Look at this - a tatty old book.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50If you were clearing a house and you saw this,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53you'd be sorely tempted to just put it straight in the bin, wouldn't you?
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Well, I bought this at auction.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It was catalogued as a book containing autographs.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01For a cricket lover, they're priceless.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Inside the frontispiece, John Trevor Jones of Peckham -
0:17:05 > 0:17:07the man that obviously owned it.
0:17:07 > 0:17:12But in the 1930s he must have spent his time going from cricket ground
0:17:12 > 0:17:18to cricket ground, collecting these absolutely amazing autographs.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20First up here, Duleepsinhji -
0:17:20 > 0:17:24born in India and then came to England for his education and ended
0:17:24 > 0:17:26up playing cricket for England.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30He was so good, even today he has one of the finest batting averages
0:17:30 > 0:17:34of anybody in the history of English cricket.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Turn over another page
0:17:36 > 0:17:41and you've got the Oxford University side from 1930.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45And in those days, the university sides produced a lot of players that
0:17:45 > 0:17:51went on to play for England. Here, we've got the name Pataudi, the Nawab of Pataudi,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53a particularly significant figure in cricket
0:17:53 > 0:17:56because he played for both India and England.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59He came to England to finish his education,
0:17:59 > 0:18:03played for England, then went back to India and captained India.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07What a man. And you go on through here and we come to some of the
0:18:07 > 0:18:10great, great cricket sides of all times,
0:18:10 > 0:18:16and here we have the Australian side 1934, in cigarette card form,
0:18:16 > 0:18:21and here is the greatest name of all - Don Bradman.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26Don Bradman was to cricket like Pele was to football, even more than that.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30He was the greatest player ever to play the game.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Remarkable to have his signature here.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38And on and on we go through here, with lists of the England team,
0:18:38 > 0:18:44other county sides... This person, Jones, met all these iconic figures.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47To a lot of people, these wouldn't be worth much, but I'm absolutely
0:18:47 > 0:18:50convinced that, in the right area,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52in the right auction, if necessary,
0:18:52 > 0:18:54these would make £300 or £400.
0:18:54 > 0:18:56What a return!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59But they're mine, and I'm not selling them.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Now it's time to get back to our teams.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10They're over halfway through,
0:19:10 > 0:19:12and the Reds have raced ahead with two items.
0:19:12 > 0:19:13We've got plenty of time.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16- We've got quite a bit of cash left. - That's right.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19And the Blues are yet to find their second bargain.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22But that may all change.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26- Some tools.- Oh, I tell you, I'm too old to use a pitchfork now.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Things for youngsters, pitchforks.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29How about this little beauty here?
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- A scythe.- If that isn't agricultural, I don't know what is.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Well, I know. 50, 60 years ago, there would be ten,
0:19:35 > 0:19:3820 men going out with a scythe like that to cut hay in the same field.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43- When you say 50 years, that's good, so that means this predates 50 years.- Yeah. Oh, yes. Yeah.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Careful, Berwin.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48I tell you, you could do a bit of damage with these!
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Looks very dangerous to me.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Please don't try this at home.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54You had to pull it right back like that,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and you'd be doing that for hours on end.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Do I get the feeling this is something that ticks the box?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It ticks the box, definitely, you know,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05and the handle is a very good quality handle, isn't it?
0:20:05 > 0:20:06- It is.- Yes.- It's a real...
0:20:06 > 0:20:10- Now, what's the wood?- What type of wood would you say that is? - Well, it looks...oak.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Yeah, I thought that it might be myself.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Yes, I think it's oak, yes.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Maybe this bolt has been added here. - Right, just for reinforcement?
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yeah, to give it more strength, you know.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22- Now, question is...- Yes.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- What's the price?- £30, they're asking for it.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I'm sure we'd manage to knock it down to 20.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- I think that's a good starting point, don't you think?- Yeah.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Sounds promising, Blues.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34Now, have the Reds found that silver they were looking for?
0:20:34 > 0:20:38You've got lots of very interesting bits of silver in this cabinet.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Pair of silver mice.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I think they're probably salt and pepper pots.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46- They look like a salt and pepper pot.- Now, they're very unusual, aren't they?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50That's rather nice as well, that little novelty spoon with the bird on it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- Oh, right.- Ooh, yes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:57Looks pricey, Reds - and remember, you've only got £168 left.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You have champagne taste and beer money, I'm afraid.
0:20:59 > 0:21:00- Aw!- Oh, no!
0:21:00 > 0:21:03The prices, I'm afraid, are beyond our means.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04- That's a shame.- Yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Never mind. Onwards and upwards.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Well, that piece of silver is out there somewhere, Mum.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Yeah.- We will find it.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12That's the attitude, Ceralyn.
0:21:12 > 0:21:17Now, back to business with the Blues, and Gary has tracked down the dealer of the scythe.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- We're interested.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I'm going to be frank, there isn't much movement on the price.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Push me to 25, but that's going to be it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- 20?- 20 would be our best.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30No, no. You know, I don't blame you for asking, but I'm being honest.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32- Yeah.- I can't do it. It's a very good piece.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35What if we went halfway between 20 and 25 - say, 22?
0:21:36 > 0:21:38No, I'm going to stick at 25.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Looks like Berwin and Emily have met their match.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42The dealer is not budging.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46I thought I'd have managed to squeeze him a bit harder than that, you know?
0:21:46 > 0:21:47I'm a bit disappointed in that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- Shall we go for it?- Oh, I think we will.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53- Yeah?- And I'm sure we'll make money on that.- Yeah.- I'm sure we'll make money on that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56- There we are.- OK.- All agreed on that, then?- I agree.- Very good.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- Yeah?- We have decided, then.- You've decided?- Yes, yes, £25, we'll take it, sir.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- Thank you very much for that.- Oh, excellent.- Yeah.- Thank you very much.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06Phew! And with just 20 minutes to go, both teams now have two items.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09The Reds, though, are still looking for that elusive bit of sparkle.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12There's some little knives in there, Victorian,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16fruit knife with mother-of-pearl handle, £45.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Yeah, it's each knife.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20- Oh, yeah.- I thought they were too good to be true, there.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22If you could buy the whole packet for £45, you'd be doing well!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Oh, never mind, Gloria.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Meanwhile, Emily has found a reminder of home.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29A plate with pheasants on it, Dad.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Oh!- Oh! Berwin, do you need another pheasant to add to your 20,000?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I don't like the look of those.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37Ah-ha! What's this, blankets again?
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- These blankets, Gary. - Welsh blankets.- Yeah.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Aren't they stunning?- They are stunning, aren't they?- Yes.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45- How old are these blankets? - They're from different eras.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47They're from the '50s, the '60s, the '70s.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- They were very popular wedding presents at one point.- Oh, right.
0:22:50 > 0:22:51All made in Wales.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Nowadays, a lot of people like to decorate their holiday cottages with
0:22:54 > 0:22:56- traditional Welsh blankets. - Indeed. Yes, yes.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59What grabs you?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I like that dark green one by here.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- Right.- The pattern's called knot garden and it's probably one from
0:23:04 > 0:23:06the 1960s because it's got fringes.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08- Right.- Double weave,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- so the pattern's different on the other side, so you get two colourways.- Oh, it's pretty.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14Two patterns for the price of one.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It might be worth considering, Blues.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Meanwhile, Nick is working hard to impress his ladies with a bit of glamour.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Is that what you had in mind?
0:23:21 > 0:23:23A whole collection of silver-mounted cut-glass scent bottles.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- Yes.- Is that ticking your box? - Definitely, yes.- Yeah, yeah.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Come a little closer, ladies.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Gosh, you're spoilt for choice, there, aren't you?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33I know. I like that tall one.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36- That's unusual.- What is it that draws you to that one particularly?
0:23:36 > 0:23:39It's because it's got the glass at the bottom and it's also got the
0:23:39 > 0:23:41- glass top...- It's different.- ..as well.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- Yes.- It's a nice shape.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45This is what we call hobnail cut glass.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47- Right.- Very particular to the Edwardian era.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49The stopper fits nice and snug.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's probably the original stopper.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Someone's loved it, they've polished it so much the mark's nearly
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- gone, but it's still there. - Yes.- We can read it.- OK.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Underneath, there's no...
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Oh, there's a little bit of a chip, there.- Oh, yeah.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02Tiny chip underneath.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05- Right.- What I need to do is to go and track the stallholder down and
0:24:05 > 0:24:08- get the price.- OK, that's lovely.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10So whilst Nick is off to negotiate a price,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13how are the Blues getting on with their blanket?
0:24:13 > 0:24:16What do you think, now that you've got it in your hands?
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- I really like it. - You really like it?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20What do you think, Dad?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22It's very, very, very good condition.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24What sort of price are you looking at?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26We've got £150 on it.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28CHARLIE: Not exactly a steal, Blues, but worth a haggle.
0:24:28 > 0:24:30Go on, Berwin!
0:24:30 > 0:24:33You do realise that we need to be selling this for a profit, you?
0:24:33 > 0:24:36Yes! Well, I'm sure we could negotiate.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39Well, team.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Oh, I dunno.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43I see the sparkle in your eyes.
0:24:43 > 0:24:44I really, really like it!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Well, you know, in light of our situation, you know,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51I don't think we could offer you more than 110 for it, you know.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53120?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Oh, 15, 15, we'll do a deal?
0:24:56 > 0:24:57Oh, go on, then, yes.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Oh, thank you. You're very kind.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01THEY SPEAK WELSH
0:25:01 > 0:25:02Good man, Berwin.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03You've clinched your final deal.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05EMILY SPEAKS WELSH
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- Whatever that means. I assume it's thank you.- Thank you.- Thank you!
0:25:08 > 0:25:10CHARLIE: You are a fast learner, Gary.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Now, with less than ten minutes to go, any news on the glass decanter, Nick?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Now, that one can be yours for £20.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Right.- Now I think for a perfume bottle with silver mounts,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22that's got the sweet smell of success, hasn't it?
0:25:22 > 0:25:25It's quite a weighty one. You feel the weight on it.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26It's quite a nice weight to it.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Oh, it's deceiving.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32- It's got a little bit of damage but there again, for the price that we'll be paying...- And the age.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34- It's got some quality to it.- Yes. - It's a stylish thing and you wanted
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- cut glass, you wanted silver. - BOTH: Silver.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Are you happy with that?- Yeah, yeah, I am.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40- Definitely?- Yeah, very happy.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Look, all we've got to do now is just take that off there, and put a
0:25:43 > 0:25:45little bit of that behind there and there.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48I'll go and pay £20 and I think, ladies, we are all shopped and done.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- We are!- Well done.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Phew! And the Reds have done it, too, with only minutes to spare.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55It's time to "bale out".
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Your time is up.
0:25:56 > 0:26:01- We're all bought, we're all shopped up.- Yeah.- Let's go and celebrate. Come on!- Whoo!
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Now, let's just remind ourselves what the Red team have bought.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Firstly, they fell in love with this Chinese bed warmer,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10setting them back £73.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Next, they cut a deal on this Victorian steel and brass saw,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16costing them £9.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17And finally,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20will this silver glass scent bottle come up smelling of roses?
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Price paid, £20.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Well, Gloria and Ceralyn, you had a good time, didn't you?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- Brilliant.- Thoroughly enjoyed it.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Good. Now, what's your favourite lot, Gloria?
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I think the...Chinese bed warmer.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- The Chinese bed warmer.- Yeah, that's what I would go for myself.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37But what will make the biggest profit?
0:26:37 > 0:26:39- I think the saw.- The saw?
0:26:39 > 0:26:42I think, too, that the bed warmer...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Yeah.- ..could potentially make us the most profit.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- Yes.- But again, I think the saw,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49- that's got a lot of history to it as well.- Yeah, good.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So that could make us quite a bit as well, hopefully.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54- Well, you didn't spend a huge amount, did you? £102?- We did, indeed.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57So 198 to hand over.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58- Yes.- There's the notes.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Goodness me.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00And there's £3, there.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04You're giving this man £198!
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- We are, indeed.- You must have lost your sanity.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Yeah, they've put a tracker on my ankle.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- What are you going to do with that?- I'm going to blow it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14I'm going to find something ancient and intriguing.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16- Ooh, my word.- Sounds good!
0:27:16 > 0:27:19While Nick goes off to find something ancient and intriguing,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22we'll check out what the Blue team have bought.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Firstly, they were charmed by this rustic, home-made, wooden
0:27:25 > 0:27:27rocking horse, costing them £35.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Then Berwin fell in love with this late Victorian scythe.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36With only £25 paid, it could harvest them a healthy profit.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39And finally, Emily warmed to this Welsh blanket,
0:27:39 > 0:27:42costing them a whopping £115.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Well, that was a good shop, wasn't it?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- It was.- Indeed.- They call him Berwin the blanket.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52- Did you have a good time?- Indeed, yeah.- Fantastic.- Enjoyed ourselves.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Emily, what's your favourite lot?
0:27:54 > 0:27:56I think it is the blanket.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- Is it?- But we'll see if it will make us a profit or not.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Well, what will make the biggest profit?
0:28:01 > 0:28:05I think maybe the rocking horse, but we'll see.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07The rocking horse. What about you, Berwin?
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- What's your favourite lot?- No doubt, the scythe. You know?
0:28:09 > 0:28:10- The scythe?- Yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- And will that make the biggest profit?- Oh, definitely. Definitely.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Oh, without a doubt. Anyway, you spent £175...
0:28:15 > 0:28:17- We did.- ..which is a jolly good spend.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Yeah.- So one of you's got £125 to give me.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- Here we go.- And I'm going to pass that on to the great man and what's
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- he going to do with it? - It has to be country.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29It's not going to be rock and roll.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35So, while Gary goes off to the country, I'm off to the auction.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43I've come down the road to Cardiff, to Rogers Jones,
0:28:43 > 0:28:44to meet up with the auctioneer, Ben.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46- How are you?- I'm very well.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- How are you?- Yeah, very well indeed, thank you.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Now, Ceralyn and Gloria kicked off with this hot water bottle.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54How old is it?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57My thoughts are...
0:28:57 > 0:28:58not particularly old.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00No. I think you're probably right.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02When you unscrew the top...
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- The thread looks a bit sharp, doesn't it?- It does, it does, really.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09How much of an important factor is age these days?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12Not that important, as long as it's decorative - and it is quite decorative, so...
0:29:12 > 0:29:14- Yeah.- What about value?
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Not an easy thing to value, is it?
0:29:15 > 0:29:20No. We've put £30-£40 on it, an auctioneer's favourite.
0:29:20 > 0:29:21If in doubt, go 30-40.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- Quite.- They paid 73, which seems a bit punchy to me.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26It sounds a bit high.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29Now, something completely different is the saw.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31I suspect you like the saw.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I love the saw. It's so nicely put together.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36This one has definitely got age.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Two excellent factors going for it,
0:29:39 > 0:29:45- it's got the maker's name and it's got the original carpenter, which I love.- Yeah.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47- So, value?- 30-40.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Do you know, they bought that for £9?
0:29:50 > 0:29:51That is a bargain.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56- It's amazing.- Mmm.- And very different again is the scent bottle.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58Yeah, quite an ordinary scent bottle, really.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Would be nice as part of a set.
0:30:00 > 0:30:05- Yes.- But on its own, fairly plain Jane, hobnail cut,
0:30:05 > 0:30:08we see lots of those. £10-15, Charlie.
0:30:08 > 0:30:09Yeah, they paid 20.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I mean, I can understand that.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13It's quite a good-looking object, isn't it?
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- It's OK.- But of course, they just might need their Bonus Buy.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Let's have a look at what Nick has bought for the Red team.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Ceralyn and Gloria, this is the moment, isn't it?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27You've given him £198 and he ran off into the mist,
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- saying he was going to buy something ancient and intriguing. - Mmm, I know!
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Do you think he did?- I hope so.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Shall we have a look?- Yeah.- I have something I think you'll be intrigued with.- Wow!
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Ancient amber bead necklaces.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42- Oh, I like those.- Good.- Ooh!
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- You don't get to wear them or keep them, but I'm glad you like them. - Yeah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46How old are they?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Well, this is an enigma.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53If they are genuine and right, I mean, they're millions of years old.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57- Good gracious.- If not, they were made in Taiwan three weeks ago.
0:30:59 > 0:31:00Have you met our expert?!
0:31:02 > 0:31:08Even now, gemologists in jewellery sales are cataloguing amber quite
0:31:08 > 0:31:09cautiously with little get-outs -
0:31:09 > 0:31:11"in the style of," "possibly", "in the manner of".
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- Right.- Unless you've got a certificate with them,
0:31:13 > 0:31:17it's really hard to be 100% accurate, but I think they're right.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I think you'll do well with them.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20How much did you pay for them?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23Now, I paid £75, and that's not each, that was for the two.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26- What's your gut feeling?- My feeling is they'll do well.
0:31:26 > 0:31:27Right, OK, then.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Now, girls, you don't have to make up your mind now.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Leave it until the auction.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Meanwhile, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of these amber necklaces.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37What do you know about amber beads?
0:31:37 > 0:31:39I hope it's more than me.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I'm not an expert, I have to profess.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- They look OK to me.- Yes.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45It looks like Baltic amber.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- Yes.- Uncut and...
0:31:49 > 0:31:54..the irregularity would say that it's come straight from the mine, probably.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Yeah.- We've put £70-100 on them.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- Have you?- Yes.- At 70-100,
0:31:58 > 0:32:02I think the team would be quite pleased because Nick paid £75 for those,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05so he's in with a chance, in your expert opinion?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08There is a possibility, I think.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Yeah. Well, that's good.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12That's it for the Red team.
0:32:12 > 0:32:13Now, let's have a look at the Blues.
0:32:13 > 0:32:18Now, Emily and Berwin kicked off with the rocking horse.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22- What do you think? - Not a lot, quite honestly.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26It looks like the sort of thing that was put together in the garage one afternoon.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29I'm really lost for words, in all honesty.
0:32:29 > 0:32:31CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:32:31 > 0:32:33It's a rocking donkey, I think.
0:32:33 > 0:32:34CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:32:34 > 0:32:37OK. Have you been able to attach a value to it of anything at all?
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It's going to struggle. We've put £30-40 on.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Have you? Seems quite bullish to me.
0:32:41 > 0:32:45They paid £35 for it which is smack in the middle of your estimate.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49OK. And it's a very different thing from the English scythe that they
0:32:49 > 0:32:50bought, which I rather like.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52It's got a sort of Gothic look to it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54It has got a look about it, yeah.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59I like this. It's the sort of thing that is collected by Welsh people in agricultural Wales.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Yeah.- Could go on a barn conversion, or perhaps...
0:33:02 > 0:33:03- Yes.- ..a restaurant.
0:33:03 > 0:33:08And you can just imagine some late-Victorian farm worker breaking
0:33:08 > 0:33:10his back in the fields with it, can't you?
0:33:10 > 0:33:12God, wow. You paint such a picture.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14- What about a value?- 30-40.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Well, they paid £25. It was quite a reasonable buy, I think, wasn't it?
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- They've got a good chance.- Probably better than the rocking horse. - I think so.
0:33:21 > 0:33:22CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:33:22 > 0:33:24And then they bought a blanket. Now, you must see a lot of these.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27We sell lots of Welsh blankets here in Cardiff.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28And they're very popular.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Are they?- Perennially popular.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31They go into cottages.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32They go over your sofa.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33Perhaps for a picnic.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36Depending on the colour and the size and the age,
0:33:36 > 0:33:38they usually make between 50 and £70.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39Yeah, the only trouble is,
0:33:39 > 0:33:42they did go a bit of a bundle on it. They paid £115.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44That's pushing it a bit, isn't it?
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Probably about right for retail, but not at an auction.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51Right, so it seems to me they might well need their Bonus Buy.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55Let's have a look and see what Gary has bought for the Blue team.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00Now, Emily and Berwin, you spent £175,
0:34:00 > 0:34:04leaving Gary with 125, and what did he say?
0:34:04 > 0:34:09"I'm going to buy something country, not rock and roll."
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Let's have a look.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14- ALL: Ooh!- More Willie Nelson...
0:34:14 > 0:34:17More Willie Nelson than Elvis Presley.
0:34:17 > 0:34:18Oh, fantastic!
0:34:18 > 0:34:20- I love it.- Isn't that a reaction?
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Yeah.- The good thing about this, it's a two in one piece of furniture.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27- Yeah.- Because it converts into...
0:34:29 > 0:34:31- This is a simple IQ test.- We're going to...- Yes, yes.- Ah.- Ah.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34- Ah, right.- Oh, my gosh!
0:34:35 > 0:34:38- Well done.- There. - Oh, very nice.- I do like it.
0:34:38 > 0:34:39Typical Edwardian, isn't it?
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- Yeah.- So what sort of money did you give for this, then?
0:34:42 > 0:34:43£35.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Oh!- And how much do you think it'll go for?
0:34:46 > 0:34:51As a good country piece of furniture, a child's furniture...
0:34:51 > 0:34:54- BOTH: Yeah.- ..which should add to the value, £60, maybe?
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- Yeah.- Brilliant.- I can honestly see that doing £60.- Yeah.- Yeah. - Yeah.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Well, it seems to me that you like it, but you don't have to make
0:35:00 > 0:35:04up your mind as to whether you go with it or not. Leave that until the auction.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Let's see what the auctioneer thinks
0:35:06 > 0:35:08of this rather splendid metamorphic chair.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- What do you think of it?- Yeah, well, we've seen a few of these in our time.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- I'm sure you have.- Yeah, they're ingenious.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I mean, the design work is fantastic.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Yeah.- But they're not uncommon.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23No. There's almost one in every sale I go to.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I think they are and this one's badly stained.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Someone's had a bit of a restoration job on it.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32It's OK, but it isn't going to set the world alight, I'm afraid.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34No, it's not a 100-pounder, is it?
0:35:34 > 0:35:35- It's not, no.- What sort of value?
0:35:35 > 0:35:3735, 45?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Well, that's not too bad. Gary only paid £35 for it, so...
0:35:40 > 0:35:44- About right.- You should get a little profit out of that, shouldn't you?
0:35:44 > 0:35:46- Quite possibly.- You'll be taking the sale?
0:35:46 > 0:35:47- I will.- Well, we look forward to it hugely.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Good luck with this rather eclectic mix.
0:35:50 > 0:35:5270 bid. £80, then.
0:35:52 > 0:35:5490 now. 100 anywhere?
0:35:54 > 0:35:55Hammer's up now, 100.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57Well, girls, the excitement is intense.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00- It is, indeed.- Are you, are you nervous?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02No, I'm really excited.
0:36:02 > 0:36:03- Are you?- Oh, yes, I can't wait.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05Do... Are you confident?
0:36:05 > 0:36:06I really am.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Now, he's kicking off with the Chinese hot water bottle.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11Lot 104, it's a Chinese hot water bottle.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I thought it was for curling.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39Do you know, you've lost £43 on a hot water bottle?
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- Oh!- Never mind, here's your saw.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43It only cost £9.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45The auctioneer loves this.

0:38:56 > 0:38:58You did, yeah.
0:38:58 > 0:38:59- Oh.- And that may be a winning score.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- Well, hopefully.- Yes. - Fingers crossed.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Right, Emily and Berwin, this is it, isn't it?

0:42:14 > 0:42:17ALL: To make a profit. To make a profit, yes.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20You have singularly failed... ALL: Aw! ..both teams, to make a profit -
0:42:20 > 0:42:23in fact, you both lost really quite a lot of money.
0:42:23 > 0:42:24ALL: Oh, no!
0:42:24 > 0:42:27But don't worry, we don't have winners and losers.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51- Ahh!- Aww. No!
0:42:51 > 0:42:52I'm so sorry!
0:42:52 > 0:42:55You did well on a couple of things. Your saw was good and your scent bottle was good.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58The less said about the amber beads, really, the better.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01- Yes.- Now, before you get too smug, Emily and Berwin,
0:43:01 > 0:43:04you managed to lose money on three items
0:43:04 > 0:43:06and you made one little profit.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08You did make profit on that scythe, didn't you?
