0:00:07 > 0:00:11There's nothing like a stroll along a beautiful river bank,
0:00:11 > 0:00:14and this five-mile stretch of the River Stort in Hertfordshire
0:00:14 > 0:00:17runs between Sawbridgeworth and Bishop Stortford,
0:00:17 > 0:00:22and in 1769, was turned into a canal to allow the barges
0:00:22 > 0:00:25to deliver grain to the Maltings just upstream.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28That industry has long since disappeared, but part of the
0:00:28 > 0:00:31original building now forms two antiques centres.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33So I wonder what's brewing today.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's go Bargain Hunting!
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Now, just remember, our teams have £300 and just one hour
0:01:06 > 0:01:09in which to buy three items to take off to auction,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12and hopefully make a profit.
0:01:12 > 0:01:13Now, let's check out what's coming up.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Time's against the Blues...
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- She won't let me... - You've got 30 seconds.
0:01:19 > 0:01:24- It's got to be 75.- 70? - I can't, I'm not allowed to!
0:01:24 > 0:01:27..and there's indecision in the Reds.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29You do it, you decide.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Gentlemen, would you like me to be arbitrator?
0:01:32 > 0:01:33- Yeah. - Go for it.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35Now looking for 12...
0:01:35 > 0:01:37By the auction, did the Reds make the right decision?
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Yes!- Get in!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42And does the tension continue to build for the Blues?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I've never burst into tears on Bargain Hunt,
0:01:44 > 0:01:46but this could be the first time.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Well, that's all for later. Now, let's meet today's teams.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54And we have two sets of friends today, and for the Red team
0:01:54 > 0:01:58we have Noman and Richard. And for the Blues, we have Joan and Deborah.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00- Hello, everyone. - Hello.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Now, Richard, you became friends through work, didn't you?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Yes, that's right, yeah, we worked together about five years.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08A bit of a forced friendship. from both of us, but...
0:02:08 > 0:02:12I worked as the software manager for the company, and Richard works...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14In the mechanical design department.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17I travel around the world dealing with computers,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20doing all the geeky stuff, and Richard...
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Basically draw stuff on the computer and have it manufactured so...
0:02:24 > 0:02:26If I've got a computer and it's gone wrong, ring you up?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28- I can fix it, yes, yeah. - Can you really?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Yes. Yeah. You can have my number after the show.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Marvellous! And Noman, what do you do in your spare time?
0:02:34 > 0:02:36I like to play cricket.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38- Do you?- Yes. - Are you a batsman or a bowler?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- I'm a left arm spinner. - Are you?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Wonderful.- Yes.- Very good.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Will you be buying a cricket bat on your tour today?
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- I hope so. - What about your spare time?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50I've a young family, so I have two children.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53- Have you?- Yeah, two girls. But when I'm not with them,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- I spend all my time designing and making things outside of work.- Yeah.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00I've just finished a large arcade machine that I've made for myself.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- I just fancied it, yeah.- You're a useful man to have around the house,
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- aren't you?- I just think, why buy it when you can just make it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Yeah, so...- Now, so what about tactics when you're shopping?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11We want to go for practical, usable things.
0:03:11 > 0:03:12- Yes.- And low cost.- Yeah.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Well, have a great shop. Enjoy it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Now, Joan and Deborah, how did you two meet?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20I was living in Norfolk on a self-build site,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- I decided to build my own house. - Did you?- Always wanted to do it,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27and I sort of opted out of everything else and went up to
0:03:27 > 0:03:30build a house, so Joan was living in a nearby village,
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- renovating a house.- Yeah.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We had an interesting conversation over my gravel delivery.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36I beg your pardon.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- That's a conversation stopper, isn't it?- It is! Absolutely.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- It moved on from there, really. - So immediately hit it off.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Yes.- Exactly. Yeah. Yes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Absolutely.- Now, Joan, you do up property, too, don't you?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Yes. I've just done up a 1930s property.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51And you're into the decor and...
0:03:51 > 0:03:55Yes, I love interior design and fabrics and textiles and...
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, I can see that. Wonderful. Now, what about tactics?
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- We're good for haggling, I think. - Are you?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02But we're ready to spend pretty much as much as we can.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Are you looking for the Golden Gavel today?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Oh, absolutely. Very decorative. Definitely. Yeah!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Golden Gavel?
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- We're in it to win it.- Yeah. They're in it to win it, girls!
0:04:13 > 0:04:15- We're on for a fight, then. - No pressure!
0:04:15 > 0:04:17They're going to be spending £300,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19you're going to be spending about £4.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Going to be quite an interesting competition, really.- Yes.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Now, what will you need to go shopping with?
0:04:23 > 0:04:26- Lots of your money. - Well, I've got it for you.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30£300. And...
0:04:30 > 0:04:31- ..£300. - Thank you!
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Off you go, and have a fantastic shop.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36So, there we have it -
0:04:36 > 0:04:39the self-confessed nerds versus the property gurus.
0:04:39 > 0:04:40Who will win?
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Poised to help today's teams are our experts.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48For the Reds, Colin Young's hoping to reel in a profit
0:04:48 > 0:04:50with the computer geeks.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54And on call for the property developing Blues,
0:04:54 > 0:04:55it's Jonathan Pratt.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So, Blues, do you know what you want to buy today?
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I'm looking for silver trinkets and jewellery.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I think in general I'll be looking for something mechanical,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07something practical, something that can be used.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10I really like the William Morris period, so arts and crafts.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- A bit of arts and crafts. Handmade stuff?- Yes, decorative.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17- It's got to be usable, and it's got to be low-cost as well.- Low-cost!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- Most important thing, yeah.- Does that mean as a team you're going to
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- be low-maintenance? - Yes, absolutely.- Yes.- Really?!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Right, teams, your time starts now.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27- Let's go and have a look.- Right.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Off we go.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33So, our teams have dived into separate antiques centres.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Have the Blues immediately spotted the silver off their shopping list?
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- I like this mirror over here. - Pretty, isn't it?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- Yeah.- Beautiful.- It's a silver mirror, heart-shaped frame.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Embossed. And if it...- Always popular, the heart shape, isn't it?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Yeah. 1962, so it's not an old one, but then the condition will be nice.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52They're saying £75.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Oh!- No, they can do better than that, surely?
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Maybe one to bear in mind. But it's still early doors.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Now, this looks right up Noman's street.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Here we are. Some cricketers.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08This is just a nice little catalogue of information
0:06:08 > 0:06:10about something useful.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Yeah, they usually do come in sets of 50, they do.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16John Player and Sons, these were given away with cigarettes
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and people collected them. Is it a full set?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21That's going to be the important thing.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24So usually there's 50. Have you got five sheets?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Two...
0:06:25 > 0:06:27..three, four...
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- ..and five. - Perfect!
0:06:28 > 0:06:31And what period are these from? Are they from the 1930s?
0:06:31 > 0:06:34All of them are from 1934.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Perfect. What sort of money are they looking for?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38It says...
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- £19.50.- £19.50. OK.- Yeah.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Yeah. That's not expensive.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47The problem is they could make as little as, you know, sort of £15,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50£10 at a push, you know, in a sale, so...
0:06:51 > 0:06:54..you'd have to get them at half price to stand a bit of a chance.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56So if we have a good bargain here,
0:06:56 > 0:06:58then...might as well make some profit out of it.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Yeah, absolutely, there is no reason why not.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So shall I go and see if I can get a good price done on this?
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Yes, please.- OK.- Yeah.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08These cigarette cards first appeared in the UK at the end of the
0:07:08 > 0:07:1119th century. They were originally produced to strengthen the
0:07:11 > 0:07:14cigarette packets and protect the contents.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18So let's see if Colin gets that 50% reduction he mentioned.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21Now, are the Blues about to take a gamble?
0:07:21 > 0:07:22I quite like this machine.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's an old one-armed bandit, isn't it? Look.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26- Oh, OK. - So that's quite cool, isn't it?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28And this one. They're great.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- What do you think of this one? - And this is quirky, isn't it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Yeah.- That's really very quirky. - Very quirky.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34£850.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Just slightly over your budget, then, Blues.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Now, did you know it was the American car mechanic Charles Fry
0:07:40 > 0:07:44who was credited with inventing the slot machine back in 1887?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- There are old pennies on top. - OK, have a go anyway, come on.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Well, no harm in having a little go, eh?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Oh, then you...
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- Oh! What's our luck? - Ta-da!
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- Oh! - Nearly!
0:07:59 > 0:08:02I hope that's not a bad omen, Blues.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05With Noman's cricket cards priced at £19.50,
0:08:05 > 0:08:09will Jo from the antiques centre give them a good deal?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- So, are you still in love with it? - Yes. It's lovely.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Now, Jo has a price for you.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18I've made a phone call, and they will do them for £8.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20- Oh, brilliant! - That's really good, yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Are we happy to purchase? - Yes. It's brilliant. Really good.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- Thank you very much. - Brilliant. Excellent deal he's done.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- Onto the next one. - Let's go!
0:08:27 > 0:08:31So, with the boys going in to bat first with these £8 cards,
0:08:31 > 0:08:33could they be on course to win this innings?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36With just five minutes gone, there's all to play for.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yeah. Oh, look at that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Sounds like the Blues are up to more mischief.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42If you need a doorbell...
0:08:42 > 0:08:46- You know?- The butler, darling, likes to answer the doorbell.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, not all of us have a butler, Deborah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Noman, what ARE you up to?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Is our leader calling?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58I'm just getting some inspiration.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Good to see you're enjoying yourselves, but you need to focus.
0:09:04 > 0:09:0615 minutes have gone already!
0:09:06 > 0:09:10Deborah, I thought it was silver you were after, not copper.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Somebody could use that as a fruit bowl or as a flower...thingy.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16I think... Oh, it's only £40, you know,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20- and all the work that goes into it. - Yeah.- And it's been repaired here.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23- But...- I think a big bunch of flowers in it.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Flowers?! Deborah, are you sure?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27That's exactly what I would buy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Would you?- Yeah. - Well, why don't you?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You know, you might be able to get a discount if you wave it in the air
0:09:32 > 0:09:33at him.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Those tactics aren't in the rule book, ladies.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- That's 40.- No, no, no. - I think it's 25 at the most for us.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- 20.- Go and ask. - 20.- Yeah. OK, we can try.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Let's see how good you are at negotiating
0:09:45 > 0:09:47with Nick from the antiques centre.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I surrender already.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I did say he would, I did say he would!
0:09:52 > 0:09:56We did, we thought we'd use this to sort of batter some kind of deal
0:09:56 > 0:09:59out of you. We think maybe £15, £18?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01What's it got on it? I don't even know.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- You'll have to show me the ticket. - OK, there we go.
0:10:04 > 0:10:0640. He'll normally do 10%.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10But I can ring him and ask what his very, very best would be.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- OK. - Have you a target I have to aim for?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I think it's got to be... It's got to be under the 30.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- I'll see what I can do.- OK, all right.- And give me five minutes.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- OK, thank you very much. - I shall come back to you.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23All right then, thank you.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Good luck, Blues,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29but that's a lot more than a 10% discount you're after.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Ah, have the Reds tracked down the mechanical item they wanted?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Think about the boundaries of what you can buy.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Yes. - It paints lines in the cricket club.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40It does. £38.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- Right.- I like that.- Yeah.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45All the mechanics are there. The problem is it's the handles.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48This would have been used to mark out the white lines you see on a
0:10:48 > 0:10:51sports field, but it's not much use without its handles.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54That's only going to really appeal to sort of, like, former groundsmen,
0:10:54 > 0:10:58- that kind of stuff. - Yes. It is a good rural bygone.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- Yeah.- Without a doubt. And it's certainly mechanical.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02- Hmm. - Hmm.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Yeah, they're, "Hmm"s, they're not a, "Wow, isn't that amazing?",
0:11:05 > 0:11:06are they? Bear it in mind.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- Bear it in mind, yeah. - Bear it in mind.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Yes. It looks really good.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Yep, it's a lukewarm response to the handle-less white liner.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Now, have the Blues managed to get the repaired copper saucepan
0:11:17 > 0:11:19for under £30?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Very best would be 29.
0:11:23 > 0:11:24JONATHAN CHUCKLES
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- You said under 30. - Mm.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29If it said £29 on there, would you have bought it straightaway anyway?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32Probably. Yeah. OK. So I think...
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Right. OK. Let's do it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35- Thank you very much. - Well, thank you very much indeed.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Thank you.- That's number one under the belt, well done, ladies.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Right, seeing as we were looking for small silver objects,
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- you've done really well. - Yes, I have, yes!
0:11:44 > 0:11:48But does it fit Joan's desire for a decorative item?
0:11:48 > 0:11:49It's 1-1, teams.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52So roughly 20 minutes in, are Reds going off-piste?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Yeah, I like them.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57- What do you reckon on them, Colin? - Wooden, vintage...
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Yeah, I like that. - Yeah, what more could you ask for?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's very sort of, like, smoking room, games room.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04It is, yeah. Put them up as decoration.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07What do you reckon, Noman?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09That's really nice. Someone who's into skiing,
0:12:09 > 0:12:11it'll really appeal to them, yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I mean, at the end of the day, they're sort of old enough
0:12:14 > 0:12:16to be just vintage, just retro.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I mean, they're really thin blades on them, aren't they?
0:12:18 > 0:12:19Yeah, they look really nice.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I think they'd appeal to quite a lot of people, to be fair.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24OK. We're going to auction.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27What do you think people would pay for them in a sale?
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Probably, they'd probably only pay that to be honest, I think.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31- £50, that's what they're up for, so...- Yeah.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33We'd need to get a reasonably large discount price.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37Do you want to find Jo and see what price we can get off them?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Yeah, definitely. - Let's see what we get.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They seem keen. With the cricket cards and now these skis,
0:12:42 > 0:12:45could a sporting theme be developing here?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Now, Blues, what's the plan of attack for your second item?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52The photo frame, I thought was really nice.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Might be quite saleable.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56But it's about what you can get it for.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- If you can get it for £50, then it might be all right.- Mm-hm.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Do you want to try? - Yeah!- Yeah, go for it.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Yes, show us how good you are at negotiating, Joan.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Speaking of negotiating,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09I wonder if the Reds have sealed a deal for the skis?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I've managed to make a phone call, and the lady is happy to accept 25.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- Awesome.- Wow. - Well done. Shake the lady's hand.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17- Brilliant.- Thanks very much. Yeah, brilliant.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Good luck with it. - Thank you very much.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Thanks. - It's all downhill from here on in.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Well, yes, at this rate,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26you'll reach the finishing line before you know it.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29A cracking 50% discount there.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Could the boys be on track for that coveted Golden Gavel?
0:13:32 > 0:13:35So, 25 minutes in, will the Blues buy that silver frame
0:13:35 > 0:13:39they saw at the start of the shop, priced at £75?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41With that frayed corner there...
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Yes, it's sticking up, isn't it?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46I think if you tell them that this is frayed in the corner and...
0:13:47 > 0:13:51I think, you know, I think £50 would be sensible.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54We can phone the dealer and ask the dealer, and we'll see what we can do for you.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Jonathan, it's not worth more than 50.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00- I don't reckon.- If that. Because of that damage.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03So the question is, if he comes back and says 60, are we going to say no
0:14:03 > 0:14:06- and walk away? - Yes.- OK.- Yes.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09That's the plan. So, whilst they wait for news on the price,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I'm popping upstairs to relive my youth.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Well, I've been joined by Jeremy Goldsmith from the House On The Hill
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Toy Museum in nearby Stansted.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Now, Jeremy, I know your dad.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Are you as bonkers about toys as he is?
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I'm afraid so. We are a sort of family of collecting maniacs,
0:14:32 > 0:14:35really, yeah. We've got one of the largest privately owned toy museums
0:14:35 > 0:14:37in the world, with 75,000 toys on display.
0:14:37 > 0:14:3975,000!
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Indeed. That was at last count which was a couple of years ago,
0:14:41 > 0:14:44so it's probably 85,000 now. We can't stop collecting.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47No. Perhaps we could run through a few of them chronologically.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49What's the earliest one you've got?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Well, the earliest one is this toy here, and that's made by a
0:14:51 > 0:14:56German company called Gunthermann, and that dates from 1890.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59When this was manufactured, probably 1,000 at the most
0:14:59 > 0:15:02were made, and what's special about this toy is the fact that
0:15:02 > 0:15:04it's hand-painted and handcrafted,
0:15:04 > 0:15:06and it is the Holy Grail of tin plate collecting.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- It's worth around £400-£500 now. - So who bought this one?
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- You or your dad? - Well, I actually bought this.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16We do actually have a competition, me and my dad, who can sort of
0:15:16 > 0:15:19find the rarest toy, and I found this actually at an antique market.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- I bet he was jealous. - He was a little bit.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24- But then he went and beat me the next week.- Oh, did he?
0:15:24 > 0:15:25So all's fair in love and war, as they say.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Now the next object I can see here is this wonderful motorbike.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Yeah.- Is that English? - No, this is German again.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36This was made in 1907 by a company called Lehmann.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Yeah. Oh, I've heard of Lehmann.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Yeah, they are again sort of top of the pack of collecting fields.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44And it would have been a pretty smart family, wouldn't it,
0:15:44 > 0:15:46that had a toy like that?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Yeah, it goes back to what I said earlier, about only 1,000 were made.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I mean, you had to be a rich child to have that.- Yeah.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54So very few were circulated globally.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57This bike's worth in the region of around £4,000.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00- It's not?- Yeah.- Though this is an iconic car, isn't it?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yes, it's wonderful. This is the Golden Arrow.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05This is the land speed record holder from the late 1920s,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and this actual toy, tin plate clockwork toy,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10was made by a company called Kingsbury.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13They were swapping land speed records all the time then,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16and lots of toys came out because it was in the press and it was iconic,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and it's a rare toy now, you know.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- In good condition, that can go between £600-£800.- Gosh.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25And then, moving onto a slightly different genre,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- we've got this chap, who I recognise.- Yeah, this is King Kong.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32This is one of the first TV-related or film-related toys of the time.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35- Presumably he works. - He does. Yeah.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37It's a great toy, actually.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42- There you go. - Wonderful.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Hours of fun. - Oh, sensational!
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Early 1930s.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51The King Kong film came out, and a company called Marx which were an
0:16:51 > 0:16:55American company, which also came to England and produced toys,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58they produced this to coincide with the film.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01It wasn't really, though, to be honest with you, until the 1960s
0:17:01 > 0:17:04- with things like Doctor Who and Thunderbirds...- Yes.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07..that they really, really grasped it, and then since then,
0:17:07 > 0:17:10it's skyrocketed, and of course, Star Wars was the one that really
0:17:10 > 0:17:14cashed in on it, and the toys were bigger than the film in the end.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And something like this is worth quite a small amount, really,
0:17:16 > 0:17:17- £250, £300. - Is that all?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yeah, you'd think more but it's still a wonderful toy.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Wonderful. Well, all of them are spectacular.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Thank you so much, Jeremy, for bringing these along.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30I think to see these very special toys in such incredible condition
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- is a real treat.- It's a pleasure. Good to meet you.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Meanwhile, let's go back to the teams,
0:17:35 > 0:17:36and see how the shopping's getting on.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45So, downstairs, the Blues are about to get the verdict
0:17:45 > 0:17:47on that heart-shaped mirror.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51Priced at £75, they've agreed not to budge above 50.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Best price would be 60.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58OK, well, we'll leave that.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Yes, it's a little too much, I think, for what we think it's worth.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Yes. But thank you for making the enquiry.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07Bad luck, Blues. But as you say, it could be too risky.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11So we're over halfway, and it's 2-1 to these boys.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Has Noman again been inspired by his love of cricket?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18Look what I've found. A cricket bat photo frame.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Put it on the wall, yeah. Put pictures of cricketers in it.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25I'm afraid not. I think we're going to duck out of it.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Yeah, yeah, OK.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Good call, Colin.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Ah, now, what's happening here?
0:18:30 > 0:18:33The Blues haven't moved away from the photo frame they rejected.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35Why is that?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I've just spotted another photo frame behind you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Well, that's a biggie. But it's a lot better.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43- It's a lot better.- Yeah.- It's not a photograph frame, it's a mirror.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47He's got 199 on it, but you'd want that for 120, 130, 140 maybe.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Let's see what Nick the antiques dealer can do for you.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52I would very much doubt...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55She might come down a bit more, but no way down to 150.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57I'll phone back.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Say it's definitely no, but sorry, but thank you,
0:18:59 > 0:19:00but any chance on the big mirror?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Nick doesn't appear to hold out much hope.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06But you never know. Back with the Reds,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09and Noman's trying his best to pin down their next buy.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12- Colin?- Oh!
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- What do you think of this? - Well, it's mechanical, isn't it?
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Yes. - A worm screw.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20- Yeah. - On the end of a ship's wheel.
0:19:20 > 0:19:21What are you going to put in that, then?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- Nuts. - Nuts, yeah.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26There you go, nutcracker.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28That's brilliant. How old, do you reckon?
0:19:28 > 0:19:291980s, I would imagine.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- OK.- And in terms of value...
0:19:33 > 0:19:36- Well, priced at £16, I see. - Yeah.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38If you can get it for a fiver, you're doing really well.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Yeah. I'll give it a go. - OK, you're going to give it a go.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Are you going to use that? - I hope we can get it to a fiver.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Yeah, if you can, that would be great.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Or do you just want to leave it for now and carry on with...?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52You've still got 20 minutes, you don't have to make a decision.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57- This is your last purchase. - This can always stay as a fall-back.
0:19:57 > 0:19:58- Yeah. - There was one more thing.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Hold on, Richard's spotted something.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Wanted to know a little bit more about that.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Oh, right, OK. Not particularly old,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08so I wouldn't be too enamoured by it.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11You're right, Colin. Not an old one, but practical,
0:20:11 > 0:20:12and certainly mechanical.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15And used to grind coffee beans for that perfect cuppa.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16It's a tenner.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I quite like it, though. The reason I like it is because it's
0:20:19 > 0:20:23so low cost, there's probably a good chance of
0:20:23 > 0:20:24turning a very small profit on it.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26OK. I think you're looking at the same markets,
0:20:26 > 0:20:28similar sort of things there.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32I'd just add to the same shopping list with that as one of our options
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- if we're struggling towards the end. - Yeah, sure.- Sounds good.- OK.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39Nice to have a choice, and two options fitting your brief.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Now, the ladies seem to be really keen on the mirror.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46I just hope Nick's got the price down from £199.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49It's a very nice Victorian, Edwardian one.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- Quality.- It's 1901. This is a nice dressing table thing.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54So, 150, then?
0:20:54 > 0:20:56160.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57155?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Go on. 155.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02- Let's do that.- OK. - Thank you very much.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- Cheers. - That's lovely, thank you.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- Thank you. - It's really lovely.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Wonderful. We've got two great items. Thank you!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10That's the silver you wanted, ladies,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12but it's cost you more than half your budget.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16So it's neck and neck with two apiece, and all to play for.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- So which item have you decided on? - The nutcracker.
0:21:19 > 0:21:20You're going to go for the nutcracker? OK.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22- We're going for the nutcracker? OK! - Are you?
0:21:22 > 0:21:24So which did you think you were going for?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Yes. For the nutcracker.- You thought something else, didn't you?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29- What were you after? - My little coffee grinder thing?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Yes, but the nutcracker was a lot older.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Yeah. - Let's go for the nutcracker.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- Yeah. - Why don't you do the following?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Yeah?- You get the best price on the nutcracker,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41you get the best price on the grinder.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43- OK.- Because that's the opposite way round of what you really think.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47And then who comes back with the best deal is what you're
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- going to agree on. - Sounds good.- OK.- Let's do that.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52So go and find yourself the shopkeeper.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- OK. - And get your best prices.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Yeah.- Brilliant, yeah.- Sounds good.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Well, that's the way of making a decision, boys.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Will it be the nutcracker for £16, or the coffee grinder for £10?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07So, with less than ten minutes left, teams,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09it's getting tight to bag your final item.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10Blues, any ideas?
0:22:12 > 0:22:13So let's try colourful porcelain.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16You want to settle on a piece of porcelain?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- Yeah, I think so.- OK.- There's a lovely jug here, for instance.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- That's 120.- Colourful.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23- I like colourful stuff.- 1930s...
0:22:23 > 0:22:26- Coffee pot.- Bit overpriced.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, it's a bit late for collectable, collectable Clarice.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- OK.- £85 for a little jam pot, kind of getting...
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Yeah?- I mean, I don't know, I don't know,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35I think you need to maybe go and get Nick, you've got two minutes,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37go and get Nick and decide on something quickly.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39- Quickly.- Right, OK.- Yes, quickly.
0:22:39 > 0:22:40But from my experience,
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I think that the Clarice Cliff might be missing its lid.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45These are the two we're looking at.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Are these from the same dealer?
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Yeah, same area.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50So, Reds, two practical items.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52One owner on the end of the phone.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Will it be the nutcracker or the coffee grinder?
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Looks like the answer's on its way.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Yes, unfortunately it's rather negative
0:23:00 > 0:23:02in that we've contacted the dealer,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05and all they're prepared to do is 10% on either item.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07Oh, no! It's all down to the boys.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Yeah. It's on you, Noman.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It's like... You do what you want to do.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13But even they can't agree.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- The grinder.- It's totally up to you. - Versus the cracker.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18You choose.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20Shall we grind out a deal,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22or shall we go for a cracking deal?
0:23:22 > 0:23:24You do it, you decide.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- Would you like me to be arbitrator? - Yes.- Go for it.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30OK. For once I will make a decision.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Get your 10% off your coffee grinder.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34The expert has spoken.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36That's only £9.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Let's do it, yeah.- Yeah. - Are we happy with that?
0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Yes.- Brilliant. - So we've got a grinder.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42- Thanks.- Thank you very much. - Thanks.- Well done, team.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- Cheers.- That was great. - It was, wasn't it?- Thank you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46Well done, Reds.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48You certainly bought what you set out to get,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51and with a very conservative spend of just £42.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53The Golden Gavel could be in your sights!
0:23:55 > 0:23:56With less than five minutes left, Blues,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59you need to make a quick decision on that pottery.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- Quite like this...- Teapot.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04She's already reduced it, so there's nothing we can do,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07because it was 165, it's now 120.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09So it's already had a huge discount on that already.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Oh, dear, you only have £116 left.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17This one here, the Clarice Cliff, the pastel autumn, that's 85.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19- Yes.- I'm sure she would do 75 on that,
0:24:19 > 0:24:23- but if you had more than two minutes I could phone her.- We've got one.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- We've got one minute.- Call it 70.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It's getting close.
0:24:27 > 0:24:28I have to do 75.
0:24:29 > 0:24:3072?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- She won't let me. - You've got 30 seconds.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36- It got to be 75.- 70. - I can't, I'm not allowed to.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38If you'd given me three minutes, I could have phoned her.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- I know, I know. - It has to be 75.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- OK, we'll have to take it.- OK.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Three... Two... One...
0:24:45 > 0:24:46Done!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Right, teams, your time is up.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Now let's just check out what the Red team have bought.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55First up, Noman was bowled over with
0:24:55 > 0:24:56this set of cricket-themed
0:24:56 > 0:24:58cigarette cards, bought for £8.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00Next, they continued
0:25:00 > 0:25:01the sporting theme
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and bought this set of vintage skis
0:25:03 > 0:25:04for £25.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07And, finally,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10mechanical and practical items were also on their shopping list,
0:25:10 > 0:25:13so they settled on this modern coffee grinder for £9.
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Noman and Richard, I gave you £300 to spend,
0:25:19 > 0:25:20and how much did you spend?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- £42. - £42!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25- Yeah.- So what's your favourite item?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26For me, it was the skis.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I thought they were a really neat item.
0:25:28 > 0:25:29I thought they were really nice.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- Noman, your favourite item?- For me, it is the cricket stamps.- Wonderful.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34What's going to make the biggest profit?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37- I think the skis will.- Skis?- I think we got them for a good price, yes.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39For me, I think it is the cricket stamps,
0:25:39 > 0:25:41because it was bought for a reasonable £8
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and I think it's going to go big.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47That must mean that you've got £258 left over.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Yes.- Hand it over.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53And that's the £8.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56He has never seen this amount of money before in his life!
0:25:56 > 0:25:57LAUGHTER
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Colin, what are you going to do with that?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02All-out, bust, or...go for sensible.
0:26:02 > 0:26:06So while Colin goes off to all-out bust, or be sensible,
0:26:06 > 0:26:08we'll check out what the Blue team have bought.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11First up, the ladies are hoping that
0:26:11 > 0:26:12this copper saucepan will stir up
0:26:12 > 0:26:14huge profits at the auction.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16£29 paid.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Next, they eventually found
0:26:19 > 0:26:20this silver mirror,
0:26:20 > 0:26:22parting with over half their budget
0:26:22 > 0:26:24in one go.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25And, finally,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27with just seconds left,
0:26:27 > 0:26:28their hands were tied into
0:26:28 > 0:26:30buying a Bargain Hunt favourite,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32this Clarice Cliff pot,
0:26:32 > 0:26:33minus its lid,
0:26:33 > 0:26:34for £75.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39Joan and Deborah, I love it when girls spend big money.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Good.- And didn't you?
0:26:41 > 0:26:42- We did.- Very good.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44- Now, what's your favourite lot? - I actually like the honeypot,
0:26:44 > 0:26:46the Clarice Cliff honeypot.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Beautiful colours, and a really good last-minute buy.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53Yeah. Are we slightly worried it hasn't got a lid?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55It's not helpful.
0:26:55 > 0:26:56LAUGHTER
0:26:56 > 0:26:57Could get away with being a sugar bowl.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- And it was £75?- It was £75, yes.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02So, Joan, what's your favourite item?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04The mirror. Definitely the mirror.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06- It's quality.- Yeah?- Yes.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08What will make the biggest profit?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I believe the copper pot, actually.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Yeah, it is very architectural, vintage, interior design piece.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I think the copper pot, definitely, because it is very on trend.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19You've spent £259.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- We have.- So you've got £41 left.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Somewhere about my person.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Hang on.- Come on, you know where it is, and so do I.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30JP, there's not much coming over here.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32- It's not a lot, is it? - What are you going to do with that?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I'm probably going to walk every single carpet
0:27:34 > 0:27:37in this building again, now, trying to find something!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40So while JP goes off to wear out yet another pair of shoes,
0:27:40 > 0:27:41I'm off to the auction.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, I've come from Sawbridgeworth all the way to Norfolk
0:27:53 > 0:27:56to TW Gaze auctioneers in Diss,
0:27:56 > 0:27:59and I'm here with the auctioneer herself,
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Elizabeth Talbot. Hello.- Welcome to Norfolk.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04- Thank you. Lovely to be in Norfolk.- Good.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06First, we come to the John Player cricket cards,
0:28:06 > 0:28:09which Noman and Richard purchased.
0:28:09 > 0:28:10What do you think of these?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Well, there's a set.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14- Yeah.- And they're loose-mounted, rather than stuck into an album,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- which is good.- Yeah.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Well, they are not reproduction, which is another good thing.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20- No, no.- But neither are they particularly rare.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23I mean, I'm biased, because I love them because they're cricket.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- Yes, so we do see this set quite frequently.- Do you?
0:28:25 > 0:28:28And so you've got an accurate valuation of them?
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Well, we hope so, we put 10-15 on them.
0:28:30 > 0:28:31Oh, well, they paid eight.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33What about the skis and poles?
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Do you sell many skis?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36We don't see many, no,
0:28:36 > 0:28:39but they're always useful for the mountains of Norfolk, you know.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42But, I tell you what, we don't often see skis with poles.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43They've often become separated.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47So I do quite like the fact that they're a unit, still together.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Yeah.- So they're decorative and interesting from that perspective,
0:28:50 > 0:28:52but they're not very collectable.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54We've put £15-£20 on those.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55They paid £25.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58So they might, and they might not.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59Now, what about a coffee grinder?
0:28:59 > 0:29:00I think it's rather fun to look at.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Well, it's fun to look at.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03It is in the bygone ilk.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05However...
0:29:05 > 0:29:08..I'd have said that's very much a reproduction of an earlier style,
0:29:08 > 0:29:09so it is a bit of a pseudo.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11It's not a collector's piece.
0:29:11 > 0:29:13What about value, cutting to the chase there?
0:29:13 > 0:29:15- We've put £15-£20 on that.- 15-20?
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Well, I think you might be able to grind out a profit with that.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21- They only paid nine. - There you go, then!- I know.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24So after you've finished with that extraordinary mix,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26let's have a look at the Bonus Buy.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Well, chaps, you left Colin with the princely sum of £258.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34What did you do with it, Colin?
0:29:34 > 0:29:35LAUGHTER
0:29:35 > 0:29:36Nice.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37A picnic box.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39LAUGHTER
0:29:39 > 0:29:41It's got a few more sandwiches in.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44- What do you think to that, then? - Yeah, no, I do like that.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46- I thought you might.- That's good.
0:29:46 > 0:29:47It's in pretty good order, isn't it?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50And of course, great name. His Master's Voice.
0:29:50 > 0:29:51I mean, vinyl is all coming back now.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- Definitely. - So, yeah, it is a great item.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55How much did you spend?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57£22.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Wow.- And how much do you expect it to make?
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I would put that into auction with an estimate of 25-40.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04So, chaps, what do you think of it?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06I think we're going to break records with this.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09LAUGHTER Oh, very good, Noman!
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- I like it a lot. I think it'll do quite well.- It could go.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Well, you don't have to make up your mind now, chaps.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15Leave it to the auction.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18In the meantime, let's see what the auctioneer thinks of
0:30:18 > 0:30:19this wonderful record player.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26Well, Noman and Richard, having only spent £42,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29sent Colin off with £258,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31and he's come back with this.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33Well, it's a late example of HMV,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36and collectors prize the earlier examples most readily,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- the ones with the horns, the wind-up ones.- Yes.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39What about value?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Value is a modest £20-£30.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46Yeah. He paid 22. So he didn't overpay, anyway, did he?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47No. No. Condition's good,
0:30:47 > 0:30:49I just think there's more against it than for it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Yeah, yeah. Well, that's the Reds finished.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Now, onto the Blues, onto Joan and Deborah.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57They started off with an old copper saucepan.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It's a good size, it's got good presence,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02I like the fact it's an old, riveted repair,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04and it's just a good fun example of what it is, really.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Yeah. What about value?
0:31:06 > 0:31:08We've put 20-30 on that one.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- Have you?- Yes.- They paid rather an odd figure of £29.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14- There you go.- Just tucked it under your top estimate.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16Well, now, onto the silver-framed mirror.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- It's rather splendid, isn't it? - It's beautiful. It's decorative,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21it's from a wonderful period of silversmithing,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23the Edwardian period. They still knew how to really
0:31:23 > 0:31:24craft silver beautifully.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26There's a lot of detail there.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28And there's surprisingly little damage.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30It could have been rubbed and polished to sort of oblivion,
0:31:30 > 0:31:32but actually it's quite crisp, still.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33The mirror plate is good.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So I like that very much.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37It's got a vacant cartouche at the top, which I quite like,
0:31:37 > 0:31:39so you can give it to somebody as a present, can't you?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- Yes, you could.- Grave their name on it.- Yeah, absolutely.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44- So, no, I think that's very nice. - Yeah. What about value?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46We've put £100-£150 on it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Yeah, I mean, they went quite strong. They paid 155.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51There shouldn't be a shortage of buyers, at a price.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- I would hope not, no.- No, no.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57So they go from this rather splendid silver-framed mirror,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00to the desperado buy, LAUGHTER
0:32:00 > 0:32:01which was the honeypot.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04They were running out of time, they needed to buy something,
0:32:04 > 0:32:06and they have bought a bit of Clarice Cliff.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09You might think that's good news, but something's wrong, isn't it?
0:32:09 > 0:32:12Because it hasn't got a lid. And, also, it is quite worn,
0:32:12 > 0:32:13the painting is quite worn.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14- Yeah.- And collectors these days,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16they maintain their fastidiousness.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18It has to be in good condition,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20otherwise they won't pay much for it.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22- Yeah.- So the name itself is not enough.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Answer a question for me, Elizabeth.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25If that had the lid, what would it be worth?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28I'd like to think sort of 150-250, something like that.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Perhaps not all is lost. What have you estimated that at?
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- We've put £30-£40 on it. - Have you?
0:32:32 > 0:32:34They paid £75.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39That, I think, is high, for incomplete,
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- I think that's a lot. - Incomplete, that is the word, yes.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44It looks like they might well be needing their Bonus Buy...
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- I think so. - ..so let's have a look at it.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Joan and Deborah, it was all spend, spend, spend, wasn't it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54- Absolutely, yes. - £259 just blown away.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57But what's happened in the meantime?
0:32:57 > 0:32:58I had a fall.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00Oh, dear!
0:33:00 > 0:33:01Blame real estate stress.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Oh, dear, you poor thing, is it giving you pain?
0:33:04 > 0:33:05- No, it's fine. - Thank goodness for that,
0:33:05 > 0:33:08because we've got to concentrate on the matter in hand here.
0:33:08 > 0:33:09Wait for ME to give you some pain.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11LAUGHTER Yes!
0:33:11 > 0:33:14He can't give you too much pain, cos you only gave him £41.
0:33:14 > 0:33:15Absolutely right, yes.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- That's true.- So what did you do with it?- There we are, look.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20- Ooh.- They're tea knives.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23You've got silver blades, and you've got these agate handles,
0:33:23 > 0:33:25banded agates, here.
0:33:25 > 0:33:261926.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29And I just thought they were really nice quality.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Do you like them?
0:33:30 > 0:33:33They are absolutely beautiful.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35- Really?- I'd love them for myself.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- OK.- Yeah, I do, I love them.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40I think they're very... They're glistening with the silver,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43- and the stonework in the handles, it's really beautiful.- Gorgeous.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45How much did you spend?
0:33:45 > 0:33:46So I spent the lot, £41.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48I'd like to think they're worth £40-£60.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50I just think that they've got to be worth £40-60.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53I would be very upset if they didn't make a profit.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55So, girls, you don't have to make up your mind now,
0:33:55 > 0:33:57you can make up your mind at the auction. See how things are going.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02Meanwhile, shall we see if the auctioneer likes these knives?
0:34:02 > 0:34:04They only left Jonathan with £41,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06so he went shopping and he bought these.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09My only criticism, or irritation... It is a personal irritation.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11It's almost like a composite set.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14You've got three of one,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16and five of the other finishes to the handles.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19What have we got, carnelian, and just another stone.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Agate?- Agate and carnelian. Now, he also has a set with one broken.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25And that, as a set of knives, will just influence it.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28They're rather lovely. I rather thought, looking at these,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31that if a dealer bought them, they could probably sell them,
0:34:31 > 0:34:33one at a time,
0:34:33 > 0:34:37as silver-plated butter knives,
0:34:37 > 0:34:39and probably get £20 for one each.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40They're lovely objects.
0:34:40 > 0:34:41What about a value on those?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43We've put £30-£40 estimate.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Jonathan spent his whole £41.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48- That's good.- Very good. Well, it's up to you now.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50You'll be taking the sale, won't you, Elizabeth?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52I shall indeed, yes, yes.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- I'm looking forward to seeing how you get on.- Thank you.
0:34:55 > 0:34:56On my left at 20.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57At £20, I am out.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00£20 bid. I'll tell you later.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01At £20.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Well, you two, have you been to an auction room before?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- I haven't, no.- This is my first one.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07- Is it your first one?- Yes. - What are your reactions?
0:35:07 > 0:35:08- What do you think? - It looks very nice.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10- It is quite busy. - A lot going on, isn't there?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- There is a lot going on. - Quite a few enthusiast people here.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Do we have cricket lovers here?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- Maybe.- I hope so.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Yes.- Kick off with the cigarette cards.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Only cost £8, so you should be all right.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Here they go.- Lot 200.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29We have a full set of 50 John Player cigarette cards.
0:35:29 > 0:35:30Where am I saying for the set?
0:35:30 > 0:35:31Start me at ten.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Come on, ten, surely.
0:35:33 > 0:35:34Five, I'll take.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Five bid, the front bid, thank you.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Five, I have. Where are you at six?
0:35:37 > 0:35:38- We're in. - They are here to sell at £5.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41All those cards for only £5.
0:35:41 > 0:35:42- At £5, amazingly...- Oh, no.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45They will sell, if you're all done.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Oh, dear! Oh, that's a shame.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48You've lost £3. Heart-breaking.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50Heart-breaking, yeah.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Here come the skis. They cost £25, didn't they?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56So... Time will tell. Here they come.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57Lot 201.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00We have a set of vintage skis with their poles.
0:36:00 > 0:36:01With their poles, that's the key.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03Start me at 30.
0:36:04 > 0:36:0520.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Ten, if you will.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Come on, we're going backwards rapidly here,
0:36:08 > 0:36:09we need to be going up.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13Oh, dear, the slippery slope of the auction room.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15£10 on the two skis, with their poles.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16- Come on. - A WHISTLE
0:36:16 > 0:36:18Thank you, ten bid, ten, I have.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19Oh, a whistling bidder!
0:36:19 > 0:36:22At £10 bid, where are you at 12?
0:36:22 > 0:36:24At £10, a maiden bid.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26All it took was a whistle at ten, all done?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28Oh, dear.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29That's a loss of 15.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30So you're down 18.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34But don't worry, there is always a coffee grinder to fall back on.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36- Come on, chaps. Enthusiasm. - We need to grind the result out.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38Grind a result out of this, yes.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39- Here it comes.- 202 now.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42The cast metal and wood coffee grinder.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44No kitchen should be without one.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Start me at £10.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Ten in the gallery. Thank you.
0:36:47 > 0:36:4910, I have. Where are you at 12?
0:36:49 > 0:36:51The coffee grinder at ten now, looking for 12.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53- Straight in.- At 12 next door.
0:36:53 > 0:36:54- 15...- This is great.
0:36:54 > 0:36:5618, 20.
0:36:56 > 0:36:5820, the gentleman upstairs at 20 now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Where are you at two? At £20, the lady is out.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02- Any advance?- This is good.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05That's plus £11.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09So, actually, overall, you're only down £7.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10- Shall we take the...- Not bad.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12What're you going to do with this record player?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- Yeah, we like it.- Yes.- You sure? - Yes.- We believe in you.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17We can set the record straight with this.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18LAUGHTER
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Have you ever thought of going into comedy scriptwriting?
0:37:21 > 0:37:22I'll give it a thought.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Right. Well, cost £22.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27So, come on, team.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29- We can do it.- We can do this. - I think you can.
0:37:29 > 0:37:32We have the mid-20th century HMV electric record player
0:37:32 > 0:37:35in a case. Can I start at £12?
0:37:35 > 0:37:3712 I do have.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38I think we can do better than £12.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40On the little record player there for £12.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41It's for nothing at 12.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- £12? This is very cheap.- 15.
0:37:43 > 0:37:4418. Where is 20?
0:37:44 > 0:37:46I've lost you. But worth a try.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48£18 and selling.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- 18?- Yes?
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- 20 bid.- Yes!- Get in!
0:37:52 > 0:37:54One more. £20 bid.
0:37:54 > 0:37:55At £20 bid.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Any advance?
0:37:57 > 0:37:59That is my man.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00- That's good.- You've lost £2.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Thank you very much.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Went shopping for a whole hour with this wonderful man,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07- and lost nine quid. - I've had worse days.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10It may be a winning score.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13You don't know. So not a word to the Blue team.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15People have lost more on Bargain Hunt.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23OK, girls, the moment of truth.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- Are you excited?- Very.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Course you are. Come on, team.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30This is going to be wonderful. We kick off with the saucepan.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31- £29.- Yes.- Yep.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Funny price to pay.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Tried to get under the 30...
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Did you?- ..in the hope of a little tiny profit.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Well, here it is.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41A Victorian copper saucepan with wrought iron handle.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42Start me at 20.
0:38:42 > 0:38:43£20.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45Enhance your kitchen decor with this one at £20.
0:38:45 > 0:38:47Come on, it's worth £20.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Come on. Surely a good bygone here.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51£10, if you will.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52It's for nothing at £10.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54£10 for a copper saucepan?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- It's outrageous. - Honestly, Deborah, that's no good.
0:38:57 > 0:38:58Come on! £10!
0:38:58 > 0:39:00Bid, sir. 10, I have.
0:39:00 > 0:39:01Back row at ten, where is 12?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03It should be more than this at £10.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Where are you at 12? It's a £10 bid.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07- Oh, no.- It will sell.- Deborah!
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- Deborah, you've lost £19 on a copper...- So beautiful!
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- It was absolutely lovely. - It's a team effort.- Never mind.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16We've got Joan's frame now.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18- OK.- All is well.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Quality.
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Lot 227.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23The Edwardian silver easel back mirror.
0:39:23 > 0:39:241901 is the date.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Start me at 100.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- It's for nothing. - It's for nothing.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- Oh, dear.- 70, if you will.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I've never burst into tears on Bargain Hunt,
0:39:32 > 0:39:33but this could be the first time.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36That beautiful item.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38It should be worth this, easily.
0:39:38 > 0:39:3950 bid,
0:39:39 > 0:39:4155.
0:39:41 > 0:39:4260, 5,
0:39:42 > 0:39:4370, 5.
0:39:43 > 0:39:4580, 5, 90...
0:39:45 > 0:39:47- It's going.- 90 by my right.
0:39:47 > 0:39:48At 90. Where's five?
0:39:48 > 0:39:49It's still good value.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52At £90, surely worth more.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54At £90. Everybody else can join in.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- You'll regret it in the morning, not going in, missing out.- You will.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00£90 on my right, are you all done?
0:40:00 > 0:40:01GROANING
0:40:01 > 0:40:03That's £65 loss.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05Excruciating.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Do you know, you're only down £84?!
0:40:07 > 0:40:09LAUGHTER
0:40:09 > 0:40:12But you've got a honeypot to come, girls, without a lid!
0:40:12 > 0:40:15No lid, but it's the blue autumn pattern.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Interest shown. I start at £18.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19£18 bid.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22May I say 20? I have the 18.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- 20 bid. I have 22. - There it is.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26Where are you at five, now?
0:40:26 > 0:40:28At £22 on the Clarice Cliff.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Look. At £22 with me.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32The room is out at 22.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33- It's not enough.- Where are you?
0:40:33 > 0:40:3525 is bid. Right, 25, where's eight?
0:40:35 > 0:40:38At 25 now in the room, at 25 and selling.
0:40:39 > 0:40:43- £25.- Gosh. Good stuff. - A record loss?- That's a loss of 50.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46You're only down £134.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49I think that's a piece of cake, frankly.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51Now, look, you've got JP to lean on, now.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- You going to go with him? - Yes.- Without a doubt?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Yes, please.- Yes.- Cost 41.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57We need all the help we can get.
0:40:57 > 0:40:58You certainly do.
0:40:59 > 0:41:00Lot 234.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03We have the set of HF and Co silver-bladed butter knives.
0:41:03 > 0:41:0520 to start.
0:41:05 > 0:41:0720, the lady. 22,
0:41:07 > 0:41:0825, 28,
0:41:08 > 0:41:1030 bid.
0:41:10 > 0:41:1132, 35.
0:41:11 > 0:41:1435 is standing there, at 35, left-hand bid.
0:41:14 > 0:41:15Where are you at eight?
0:41:15 > 0:41:16They're good quality at 35.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- Where are you at eight?- £35!
0:41:18 > 0:41:19Good for 35.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21All done at 35?
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Oh, no.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24I think that's really sad.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28There is only one consolation by losing £6.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32You've lost a very even number.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33£140.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36- Anyway, not a word to the Reds.- No.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37You may well have won with £140!
0:41:37 > 0:41:39- I promise you.- Well, yes, it would be nice.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41It has happened. It has happened.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- Positive thinking. - Positive thinking.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44We'll find out later.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57We've had some close challenges on Bargain Hunt.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59We've had some really tense moments
0:41:59 > 0:42:02when it's gone right down to the wire.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04This is not one of those occasions,
0:42:04 > 0:42:07because there is a whopping great chasm
0:42:07 > 0:42:09between one of the teams and the other one.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11And you've both lost money.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16It's just that one team have lost even more than the next team.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17LAUGHTER FROM THE BLUES
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Because the runners-up are indeed the Blue team.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Oh, no!
0:42:22 > 0:42:23I'll come to you in a minute.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25But, girls, I mean, remarkable.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Loss, loss, loss,
0:42:27 > 0:42:31and a little bit of Jonathan in with a splash of a loss
0:42:31 > 0:42:33at the end. So you lost £140.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Wow.- It's pretty good going, isn't it?- Consistent.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39They were pretty big numbers. And I have to say, in your defence,
0:42:39 > 0:42:40I liked the items you bought.
0:42:40 > 0:42:41They were good, weren't they, JP?
0:42:41 > 0:42:42HE CHUCKLES
0:42:42 > 0:42:43LAUGHTER
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Anyway, chaps, you only lost tiny amounts of money.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49Do you know why that was?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Because we only spent tiny amounts of money.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53Because you only spent tiny amounts of money.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56After all, if you spend £8 on something, you can hardly lose 100,
0:42:56 > 0:42:57- can you?- It's all right.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59Only £7 down.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02And then, again, Colin, rather like JP,
0:43:02 > 0:43:05just added a little bit of his own loss,
0:43:05 > 0:43:07just to top it up to £9. So only lost £9.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09That was good, wasn't it? Anyway, you've had a good time?
0:43:09 > 0:43:11- Oh, yeah, really good, yeah.- Brilliant.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Really good time. Girls, I can tell you had a good time.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16- We've had a good time.- Absolutely. - Marvellous.- Absolutely.
0:43:16 > 0:43:18Well, thank you so much for being such good sports.
0:43:18 > 0:43:20It's been great having you on the programme.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Now, don't forget to have a look at our website
0:43:22 > 0:43:24and indeed to follow us on Twitter.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27In the meantime, join us for more Bargain Hunting, yes?
0:43:27 > 0:43:28ALL: Yes!
