00:00Oh, and 466, the one you've all been waiting for.
00:04Yay, here we go.
00:07What can I say about this one?
00:08I've done nothing but talk about this for a whole week.
00:11We have got the fantastic Strongbox, as you can see there, 17th century most likely, from Nuremberg in Germany.
00:19It does have the key.
00:21It is in working order.
00:23A couple of the locks may need a little bit of attention, but it does lock.
00:27We do know that because it's locked in by accident, but thankfully we did manage to unlock it because we have the key outside the box.
00:33As featured on the BBC Spotlight last night, and I'm pleased to say I can start at £650, £700, and £50, and £8, and £50, and £9, at £950, £950, £1,000, at £1,000, £1,100, at £1,100.
00:54Can I say £1,200? Can I say £1,200 I can, at £1,200?
00:58Would you like £1,300 you would, at £1,300? I'm looking for £1,400 now, I have.
01:02Can we say £1,500? Thank you, £1,500. I'm looking for £1,600 now.
01:08£1,600 I have. £1,700 surely.
01:13I've got £1,600. Would you like £1,700?
01:15£1,700? You're not going to see another one of these in a hurry, certainly not in that condition.
01:21£1,700?
01:23I'm looking for £1,800 now. £1,700 I have. £1,800.
01:28At £1,800, I'm looking for £1,900.
01:33All with the internet at the moment, £1,800. Underbid up.
01:36Bid quickly if you'd like it.
01:38It's at £1,800, £1,900 I have.
01:41At £1,900. Now can we say £2,000?
01:43£1,900.
01:47At £1,900 discovered by TIGS here.
01:52Woo-hoo!
01:53At £1,900.
01:58Underbidder, come in at £2,000 if you'd like it.
02:00I'm just going to give you a chance to think about it, because I know it's a big purchase,
02:03but I don't need to miss out, I don't need to have regrets afterwards.
02:07£1,900 if you'd like £2,000, bid quickly, otherwise the hammer is up.
02:12Make no mistake, final warning, I will sell £1,900.
02:24Can I say thank you to everybody for that one?
02:27And thank you to Johnny Rutherford, actually, for the movie championing for us on People's
02:34Disciplesite.
02:36Can I just say, that was the hardest I think I've ever worked in this job, to keep it together,
02:42when the other auctioneer threw his tea all over the box.
02:45You did very well, I thought, you know.
02:49I really, really struggled to keep a straight face there.
02:52Well done, David.
02:53I know, it was my fault, I elbowed him.
02:57I mean, I want to say, I'm really, it's such an emotional, I'm coming up.
03:01Oh, goodness.
03:03It was so lovely, and they have no idea, she used to sit on the box and change her boots.
03:09It does belong to a really, really lovely local couple, we've had no idea if it's worth it.
03:15So, I think we are absolutely thrilled for them.
03:18Alrighty, so let's moving on, and four, six, seven, crashing back down to work.
