00:00It's fair like this. There are plenty of weird and wonderful items to catch your eye and some can leave you scratching your head.
00:08Like this. What do you think it is? It's made of wrought iron, it has a handle and it's very heavy.
00:15And it could come in handy on a winter's night.
00:19Any ideas? All will be revealed later in the show.
00:23But first, let's go bargain hunting!
00:30Today, our Reds and Blues will be searching for collectibles at this antiques fair in Osmer Street.
00:54Each team has just one hour and £300 to buy three items to take to auction.
01:01One of which must cost £75 or more. And then, of course, there's my shopping challenge.
01:06Whoever makes the biggest profit or the smallest loss at auction wins.
01:11Let's meet today's teams.
01:14Hi, I'm Ash. And I'm Anil. We're here to have some fun and to give the other team the Blues.
01:19Great stuff. I hear you're sporting mates.
01:24I support India when it comes to cricket.
01:26And I support England. We go to matches together, but, yeah.
01:31Friendly banter. Yeah, yeah.
01:32Well, you're on the same team today. Will you get on?
01:36Well, he's going to look after the money.
01:38I'm cautious and you are impulsive.
01:41Who's in charge?
01:43Anil's always a boss.
01:44No!
01:45Glad that's sorted. Well, let's see who you're up against.
01:50I'm Lucy.
01:51And I'm Ruth.
01:52We've got the competitive edge, so watch out the reds.
01:55Ooh, fighting talk. What's on your shopping list?
01:59I like to shop for the jewellery parts and little quirky things.
02:04And I'm quite into ceramics and pottery.
02:07Will you make a good team?
02:09We've got different strengths.
02:10I have an eye for, like, the finer things in life and I'm quite detail-orientated,
02:14whereas you're the one with the haggling skills, aren't you?
02:16Yeah, so I'll be doing a lot of the negotiating.
02:18Sounds like a plan, but who'll have the final say?
02:22Sometimes she spots some weird stuff and I think I'll probably convince her
02:26and make her come round to mine.
02:28I'll be like, no one putting my foot down with buying it.
02:31Those are the teams. Let's get things started.
02:34Hello, everybody. Gather round.
02:37How are you?
02:38How are you?
02:38How are you?
02:40Are you excited about going shopping?
02:42Really?
02:42Yeah, excited.
02:43Can't wait.
02:43We're excited.
02:44Yeah.
02:44So, what do you need before you can go shopping?
02:46Money!
02:47Money!
02:47Money!
02:49Who's having the money for the blue team?
02:50I'm the hikers.
02:51There you are.
02:53And on the red team, who's having the money?
02:55I'm having the money.
02:56There you are.
02:57Spend it wisely.
02:58And what's the next thing you need?
02:59A challenge!
03:01You do?
03:01Who's having the challenge?
03:02Me!
03:03There you are.
03:04And are you taking a challenge here?
03:06Yeah, I am.
03:07And finally, what else do you need?
03:09You can't go shopping without them.
03:11An expert!
03:13You do indeed.
03:14Your experts await.
03:15Off you go.
03:16Woo!
03:18I wonder what they think makes a great expert.
03:23Someone who could find a hidden gem.
03:26Somebody who's fun.
03:28Someone who's going to make a lot of money for us.
03:31Somebody who has an eye for the finer things in life.
03:33For the Reds, it's expert Leslie Cadell-Spencer and her interpreter, Mike.
03:39And we are going to make lots of money.
03:42Yeah!
03:43And for the Blues, it's Colin Young.
03:48Right, teams, let's see what challenges I've set you.
03:51An item with a connection to a team sport.
03:56Ooh, OK.
03:57Well, that's your love, isn't it, of sport?
04:00A piece of studio pottery.
04:02Ooh!
04:02Excellent.
04:03That's exciting.
04:04Right up your street, the roof.
04:05Right up my street.
04:06On your marks, get set, shop.
04:11So, come on then, team.
04:12Let's go.
04:14Let's get going quickly.
04:15The teams are off, and while the Reds go inside...
04:19Let's head in there.
04:20OK.
04:21The Blues are straight on the hunt for studio pottery.
04:25What have we got there, then?
04:26I mean, it's no Jack Nicklaus, is it?
04:30Yeah, I don't know what studio it is, but it's definitely studio pottery.
04:33Is it more like a tankard?
04:35It is a tankard, yeah.
04:36Yeah.
04:36So, it fits the bill.
04:37Mm.
04:38Golfing's obviously interesting.
04:40Right.
04:40It's got a price on the bottom there of £12.
04:42Now, if we were going to have something that's golfing...
04:46Yeah.
04:46...you know what the price has got to be, and we can't do any more than this price.
04:50Right.
04:50Do you know what it's going to be?
04:51No.
04:52Four!
04:56Are you able to give in, or do I have to make another joke to bore you into submission?
05:01Yes, OK.
05:02What a deal.
05:02Let's do it!
05:03Come on, you made the decision.
05:05Are we doing it?
05:06The tankard for the win.
05:07The first set.
05:07For £4.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Excellent.
05:10Thank you so much.
05:10You're welcome.
05:11Well, that was quick.
05:12Just four minutes into the shop, and £4 spent on the pottery tankard.
05:17Well done.
05:18That's one in the bag, then.
05:19One in the bag.
05:19Excellent.
05:20And it's a challenge in the bag.
05:21Oh, I'm so relieved we've got that out of the way.
05:23While the blues celebrate their first buy, the reds have spotted a miniature teapot.
05:30Quite colourful.
05:31That's beautiful.
05:32Yeah, that's lovely.
05:33£15.
05:36It's beautiful.
05:37It's quite nice.
05:38It's, er...
05:39Have a look.
05:41It's not old, though.
05:42Oh, OK.
05:43Oh, it's quite...
05:44But it's very decorative.
05:46Yeah.
05:47Quite modern.
05:48Yeah, and it's enamelled.
05:51Oh, right, OK.
05:52Can it make a profit, do you think?
05:56Get it down.
05:56If we could get it down, maybe, yeah.
05:59How much to?
06:00£15, you know, you'd have to be looking at £10.
06:03£10.
06:04I mean, up to you if you want to have a go, have a chat.
06:07So, while Anil gets a prize from the stallholder, the blues have spotted a cabinet.
06:14So, it's a cutlery canteen, and all the cutlery drawers have been taken out, and it's been turned into a collector's cabinet.
06:21Yeah.
06:21Good set of drawers.
06:23Sir, what sort of money are you looking for on the cabinet?
06:26£1.40.
06:27£1.40, and that's it.
06:28That's it, OK.
06:28Right, that's fair enough.
06:29We've looked at it.
06:29I don't think we're going to achieve a profit at auction.
06:32Right, yeah.
06:32OK.
06:33Keep looking, then.
06:35Red, what's the news on that tiny teapot?
06:37No discount, I'm afraid.
06:39It's £15.
06:41How much do you think we could possibly make on that?
06:44I think, looking at it, it's not old, so perhaps you might get £10 to £20 at auction, so I don't think it's going to make you a huge profit.
06:54OK.
06:55OK?
06:55Let's leave it for the time being.
06:57Absolutely fine.
06:58So, the teapot's a maybe.
07:00Over with the blues, some colourful glasses caught Ruth's eye.
07:04What about this?
07:06It's got a bit of a look about it, hasn't it?
07:08It's quite retro, isn't it?
07:09It could be 70s, could be 50s.
07:11Yeah.
07:11And it's got some markings on it, which I think is important in glassware, isn't it?
07:14It always is.
07:16Yeah.
07:16I must have, I can't even read the thing.
07:18Do you know what factory it is?
07:19Reimaki.
07:20Is it?
07:20Reimaki was a well-known glass manufacturer in Finland during the 20th century.
07:26What sort of money are you looking for on these?
07:28I was hoping to sell them together.
07:29Yeah.
07:30For £50 for the two.
07:31£50 for the two.
07:32Is there any movement on that?
07:35Not really, because that is very reasonable.
07:37It's not going to land in our big spend, but that's certainly something we could come back to for that last item.
07:44So the bars go on the back burner.
07:46Meanwhile, the Reds have found an unusual doll.
07:49What do you think about this, Anil?
07:51I think our granddaughters would love this.
07:53Yeah.
07:54Yeah, yeah.
07:55You know.
07:55Our three granddaughters would fight over this between us.
07:59What do you think, Lesley?
08:00It's lovely.
08:01It's fine.
08:05It has what is called a bisque face.
08:09Bisque dolls were very popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
08:15Unlike other dolls of the time, their faces were made from unglazed porcelain,
08:20making them much more realistic and lifelike.
08:24This one dates from 1890 and is in its original box.
08:29So how much is that doll?
08:30Well, it should be £200.
08:33It's down at half price, which is £100.
08:36Yeah.
08:36And I can do it for £80.
08:39That won't be my best price.
08:40You've come down already.
08:42Yes.
08:42But can you come down just a little bit more?
08:44From £80.
08:45Yeah.
08:45£75.
08:46Can you come down £75?
08:48Yes.
08:48Lesley, what do you think?
08:51It's got potential.
08:52Well, it's got potential.
08:54I mean, auctions can be variable.
08:56Yeah.
08:57But it is a collector's item, definitely.
09:00All original clothes.
09:00And I think it's lovely.
09:02All the original clothes.
09:03Clothes are all original.
09:04Yeah.
09:04Well, I like it.
09:06I think we should try and get £75 out of the way.
09:08£75?
09:09£75, yes.
09:11You've got a deal.
09:12Right.
09:13Let's shake on it.
09:14Thank you very much.
09:17Well done, Reds.
09:18At £75, the bisque doll is your first buy.
09:23So, team, the big spend is done.
09:26Exactly.
09:26Out of the way.
09:28Now we need to find our other items.
09:30We've got 45 minutes left.
09:32Over with the blues, Ruth has spotted a vintage bike.
09:36Let's give it a test ride.
09:37Oh, get up on your high, Nelly.
09:39There we go.
09:40Woo!
09:41Wow.
09:41Are you my stabiliser?
09:43I am indeed.
09:44OK.
09:44Do you want to give me a push?
09:46Excellent.
09:50There you go.
09:50Woo!
09:51Are you off?
09:53Well, there's nothing like trying before buying.
10:00Woo!
10:01Happy with it?
10:02Happy.
10:02Woo!
10:03Good.
10:05Well, it works.
10:06It's not stiff or anything.
10:08It's nowhere to hold.
10:08That's good.
10:09So, it's priced £35.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Who's the best negotiator?
10:13Lulu.
10:14Right.
10:15Right, OK.
10:15Let's see what you can do.
10:16So, it's up for £35.
10:19Yeah.
10:19Would you take £24?
10:22I couldn't.
10:23I'd have to be a little bit closer to £35.
10:25So, what's closer to £35?
10:27Well, I'd like £30, really.
10:29£27?
10:30£28 and it's yours.
10:32OK, deal.
10:33Deal.
10:33Is it a deal?
10:34Is it a deal?
10:35Are we happy with the bag?
10:35I'm happy with it at £28, so that's fine.
10:37I'm very happy.
10:38Share the love.
10:39Thank you so much.
10:41Great haggling.
10:43That's your second item in the bag, and you're only 20 minutes into your shop.
10:48Let's look at everything at a more leisurely pace.
10:50We've got a big spend.
10:51Yeah.
10:52If we're going to do it, let's do it well.
10:53So, while Colin and the Blues focus on their big spend, Ash and Anil have spotted some model
10:59buses.
11:00What do you think of the buses?
11:04Yeah, a lot of it depends on the price, what they're asking.
11:07They are popular, though.
11:08It might be worth having a look, if you want to have a look at them.
11:11Oh.
11:11£10 each.
11:12£10 each.
11:12£10.
11:13They're modern.
11:14I'd imagine they're within, sort of, five to ten years old.
11:18I don't know.
11:18I mean, if they were £5, they might be lucky at auction.
11:24If you take a quantity, £5 each.
11:28Yeah.
11:29Well, I would say, quite strongly, at auction, you'd probably only get £5 each.
11:36Oh.
11:36But, if you were to buy two, there might be more interest for those of you auction.
11:42What about three?
11:43What about three?
11:46Do you want three?
11:47Fine.
11:48Go for it.
11:49I'll tell you what I'll do.
11:51£15, I'll give you four.
11:55That's a deal.
11:56That's brilliant.
11:58Thank you, sir.
11:59Very decisive, Anil.
12:01But which four will you choose?
12:03You're the red team.
12:04Go for four red buses.
12:06That's a good idea.
12:06There you go.
12:07Sounds like a plan.
12:09There you go.
12:11Right, so you've got your four.
12:13I'll tell you what I'll do.
12:13I'll chuck the little one in.
12:15Oh, that is so generous.
12:16You'll need all the help you can get.
12:18Thank you very much.
12:19Thanks a lot.
12:20So, £15 for four buses and a van.
12:24You're motoring reds.
12:25That's your second item sorted.
12:27While the teams carry on shopping,
12:30remember that mystery item I showed you earlier?
12:33Time to find out what it could be.
12:35So, here it is.
12:37Let's take a closer look at it.
12:40It's a bit heavy.
12:41It's cast iron.
12:43It's got a handle and a dip to the interior.
12:47But what was it used for?
12:50Let's see if anyone at the Antiques Fair knows what it is.
12:53Ooh.
12:54That's interesting.
12:55I'd say roasting chestnuts.
12:59Soup for drinking soup.
13:02It's got to be for heating something, isn't it?
13:05I would use this a big pasta spoon.
13:07I don't think it is.
13:09Oh, dear.
13:10I think they might need some help.
13:12On a winter's night, it'd be useful.
13:15For snow.
13:18Scooping out fat off the top or something.
13:20Oh, you're so close.
13:23Just not quite there.
13:25I can reveal that this is, in fact, a grisset pan,
13:30used to catch drips of animal fat
13:32while roasting meat over an open fire.
13:36The fat, or tallow,
13:38was then used to make a very basic candle
13:41known as a rush light.
13:43Well, I'd be blown.
13:44Yeah?
13:45Yeah.
13:45Oh.
13:46OK.
13:47Oh, wow.
13:48Back in the 18th century,
13:50grisset pans like this were widely used around Britain.
13:53This one comes from Wales,
13:55and some poorer households continued to use them
13:58well into the 19th century.
14:00So, how did it all work?
14:03Well, rushes or reeds,
14:05such as these which grow in marshland,
14:09would be gathered in the summertime and dried out.
14:14Then you would peel off the outer layer
14:17to expose the inner pith,
14:19which would again be left to dry out.
14:23When dry, it would be dipped into the fat,
14:27absorbing it,
14:28and when cool,
14:30this rush light would be ready to use.
14:33For centuries,
14:34they were the light source of choice
14:36for working-class families,
14:38as they were cheap and quick to make.
14:40But compared with a traditional candle,
14:43these skinny rush lights
14:44weren't strong enough to stand up on their own.
14:47To solve that problem,
14:49the rush would be clamped into a holder like this
14:53at a slight angle,
14:55and the flame would make its way
14:58slowly down the rush,
15:00and one like this would only last around 20 minutes.
15:05A rush light would only produce a small amount of light.
15:10So, to produce more light,
15:12some people would light the rush at both ends,
15:17hence the well-known expression
15:19burning the candle at both ends.
15:22The fat or tallow was not only used for rush lights.
15:27You could make a chunky candle from it,
15:29but only licensed candle makers could do that,
15:32as the government charged a candle tax,
15:35which thankfully didn't apply to rush lights.
15:39They were a bit messy, though.
15:41As well as leaving a greasy residue on your surfaces,
15:45they also had another problem.
15:47They were smelly,
15:49although mutton and cow fat
15:52were slightly less pongy than pig fat.
15:56But later, less smelly options were available.
16:00And one of them was beeswax,
16:02which smelt considerably nicer.
16:05The use of candles gradually gave way to the electric light,
16:09after Thomas Edison patented the electric light bulb in 1879,
16:14although it took several decades for electricity
16:17to fully replace candles.
16:20So, if you have a burning desire
16:22to own a piece of candle-making history,
16:25how much would a grisset pan be worth today?
16:27Well, they're not cheap,
16:30and one like this would set you back £500 or even more.
16:37With that enlightening news, let's get back to the shopping.
16:41With half an hour left, both teams still need one more buy,
16:45and the blues are on the hunt for their big spend.
16:49I've seen something over here,
16:50and, of course, it's got our favourite colour on it.
16:53Yep.
16:53Blue. Blue.
16:54Ooh.
16:5518th century Chinese.
16:57Blue and white decorated what's known as a pallet mug.
17:01It will have had some minor little flaw there
17:04that's been covered over by metalwork,
17:06but essentially a big, bold, chunky lump, really.
17:09Ah. OK.
17:10China is world-famous for its blue and white porcelain.
17:14The blue pigment, usually from cobalt oxide,
17:17has been produced for more than 1,000 years.
17:21What sort of money are you looking for?
17:22£120.
17:24What would the lowest be that you would go on that one?
17:27Um...
17:28Go on, your best price.
17:30For you, £80.
17:32£80.
17:33Right, OK.
17:33Amazing.
17:34Thank you so much.
17:35Yeah.
17:36That's...
17:37That's good.
17:38Is that good?
17:38That's good.
17:39That is on the shopping.
17:40So it's one to consider for the blues.
17:43Meanwhile, the Reds have found something that meets my challenge,
17:46an item with a connection to a team sport.
17:49How much is it?
17:50£35.
17:52The Star Yacht, made in Birkenhead.
17:54From the 60s.
17:56Is it actually operational?
17:58It would sail, yeah.
17:59Oh, right.
18:00It needs a little bit of tender loving care on the rigging.
18:02OK.
18:06I think it might be a bit of a risk, but, yeah, it might be OK.
18:11See if we can get it at a good price.
18:13Um, the lowest I'm going to go to is £32, I'm afraid.
18:17Really?
18:17I can't go below £32.
18:19What do you think you'll make, Lesley?
18:24Probably it's on the money, but we have to think about time and the risk.
18:30So, hopefully, if it makes £35, I will be fine.
18:34I think we've got 15 minutes.
18:36Shall we put it on the back burner in case we can't find anything?
18:39And then we'll come back with that.
18:40That one.
18:41OK.
18:41Yeah.
18:41So, you're going to have to run for it, not me.
18:44We will carry you here.
18:45We'll carry you back.
18:46We'll carry you back.
18:47OK.
18:48Fair enough.
18:48Fair enough.
18:49So, the sailing boat is a possible buy.
18:52Keep looking.
18:53What's Lucy spotted for the Blues?
18:55This chair's quite quirky.
18:57You like that?
18:58Yeah, I like the pattern.
18:59When I did my GCSE art, I did a project on William Morris.
19:03So, I did, obviously, a lot of repeat patterns and stuff.
19:06So, I'm drawn to that because of the bold colours.
19:08I would guess it's probably about 1900, 1905.
19:12And it's got a mahogany colour to it.
19:14Yeah.
19:14But it's actually a beech grain in there.
19:17It's lighter.
19:17It's coming through, isn't it?
19:18It is.
19:19Because it just doesn't have that sort of depth.
19:21So, just a really nice thing.
19:22350.
19:24350 pounds is the asking price.
19:26So, even if we get a little bit off it, we're still going to struggle when it comes to auction.
19:31And for that reason, we're out.
19:32That's not what we want.
19:33We're out.
19:33Let's park that.
19:35Too expensive.
19:36Keep searching.
19:38Meanwhile, the Reds are still on the hunt for my team sporting challenge.
19:42How much are the bowling pins?
19:44The best price we can do is 60 pounds for the set.
19:47Is that six?
19:48For the set of them, yeah.
19:49Yeah.
19:50What do you think, Leslie?
19:52I think that's a bit high.
19:53Yeah.
19:54And quite expensive.
19:55They're quite old.
19:56They're a bit damaged.
19:57And I was thinking maybe 20 or 10 pounds.
20:01Oh, really?
20:02But 60, no.
20:03And that's not the only problem.
20:06Well, it's 10-pin bowling.
20:08Oh, right.
20:09And we've only got six.
20:12Yeah.
20:13And there's no ball.
20:14OK, yeah.
20:15Let's leave it.
20:16Very wise.
20:18Over with the Blues, Ruth has spotted some fun salt and pepper shakers.
20:23They're just quite unusual.
20:24They're shaped like mushrooms.
20:26They are quite cute.
20:26They're a real novelty part, aren't they, Paul?
20:29Yeah.
20:29So, what price tag is on them?
20:32There's 89 on them.
20:3389?
20:3389.
20:34Oh, they're quite nice.
20:35Time for a closer look.
20:38So, as you can see, the enamel on the top there in green is in really good order.
20:42If you've got any chips on there, it's so difficult to actually get it repaired.
20:45What I'm going to do is just have a look and see what sort of marks are on there.
20:49And on the bottom of it, it's stamped ELA, Denmark, Sterling, 925.
20:57Does that mean that it's silver through and through?
21:00It does, yeah.
21:01Oh, it's not just silver plated?
21:03No, no, no, no.
21:03It is actually silver.
21:05It's Sterling silver.
21:06925 parts in 1,000 are pure silver.
21:10Nice baluster shape as well to the bottom of it, which will obviously make sure it doesn't
21:14fall over.
21:15What's the very best that you'd be able to do them for?
21:17Do them at Flight 75 for you.
21:19Flight 75.
21:19Flight 75.
21:20Excellent.
21:20We've got plenty of time.
21:22We know where to come back.
21:23You may feel back.
21:24You'll need to decide soon.
21:26Less than 10 minutes left.
21:28Now, could these badminton rackets meet the Reds' challenge?
21:32Leslie, we're getting a bit desperate now.
21:33I've not seen anything sport-related.
21:35I know, I agree.
21:36I agree.
21:36Yeah.
21:38So, do you want to ask about these?
21:40We can have a lot.
21:41I mean, it's sort of team sport.
21:42Yeah.
21:43We're stretching it a bit, but yeah, maybe doubles, so it's still team sport.
21:47How much?
21:48Are you selling these individually or as a...
21:50Yeah, £2 each.
21:52£2 each?
21:52Yeah.
21:53Okay.
21:55How many in this bag?
21:57There's about 15 in there.
21:59Oh, right.
21:59Okay.
22:01Oh, my God.
22:02I think, is this another one for the back burner?
22:05Personally, I think Bolt, because this is...
22:08I think this will be difficult to sell at the auction.
22:10What do you think, Leslie?
22:11Yeah?
22:13Well, yes.
22:16The boat would be better.
22:17Okay.
22:17Let's go for the Bolt.
22:18Let's go for the Bolt.
22:19We'll have to run there.
22:21You know that, don't you?
22:22I thought we would.
22:23Let's go.
22:24No, no, no.
22:25I'm not running.
22:26Give it a go.
22:26Let's go.
22:29So, while the Reds steer Leslie back to the boat,
22:32the Blues have made a quick appointment at the hair salon.
22:35I'm just going to put some toner in.
22:37Okay.
22:37And then we're going to do...
22:38I don't think I trust her with my hair.
22:39And then we do a perm.
22:41Oh, very nice.
22:43Turn around, love.
22:44Oh, my God.
22:45You're going to be the belle of the ball at the disco tonight.
22:48Some good vintage things.
22:49There's nothing that I'm seeing that betters what we've got.
22:52What we've got a medicine and got.
22:53Okay.
22:54Let's move on.
22:55Enough playtime, Blues.
22:56You need to focus.
22:57Now, is the boat still there?
23:02You haven't gotten rid of it yet, then?
23:03Er, no.
23:04A little bit of interest in it, but it's still here.
23:07Okay.
23:08No one with a blue jacket?
23:09Er, no.
23:10Okay.
23:11All right, okay.
23:13That's a relief.
23:14Best price.
23:15I wasn't really going to go lower than 32, guys, really.
23:19I'm sure you'll make something on that.
23:21You think so?
23:21If you're not going 29 and we shake on it now.
23:2530 at the death.
23:2730.
23:27What do you think, Leslie?
23:30You won't go up.
23:31I think you will see a profit in it.
23:34Oh, right.
23:34It's nice.
23:35Yeah.
23:35It's a nice boat.
23:36Yeah.
23:39And something I've spotted is the name of the boat.
23:41It's the Endeavour 4, and how many of us?
23:46Oh, yeah.
23:46More.
23:47Wow.
23:47Brilliant.
23:48So, there you go.
23:49That's our goal of the Reds.
23:51So, that's a done deal for the Reds.
23:54All right.
23:55Thank you very much.
23:56Cheers.
23:56Thank you very much.
23:57At £30, the sailing boat ticks off my team sport challenge,
24:01and you're all shopped up.
24:03Great.
24:04Well done, let's go.
24:04Come on.
24:05Let's go.
24:06Right, it's crunch time for the Blues.
24:09We've got to have to make a decision.
24:10We've either got the mushrooms, and you can do them at £75.
24:15You've got that Chinese pallet mug, which is £80.
24:20I'm going to throw it out there and say the mushrooms.
24:24I was quite taken by them in the first place.
24:26Yeah.
24:27It's your item.
24:27It's your choice.
24:28Let's just go and do the deal.
24:30Okay.
24:30Decision made, but have they left it too late?
24:33Ooh.
24:34Oh, yeah, they're still there.
24:36They're still there.
24:37Still there.
24:37Yeah, big news.
24:38Excellent.
24:38Yeah.
24:38He said he would do them at £75.
24:40Yeah.
24:41Yeah.
24:41Have we got a deal?
24:42We have got a deal.
24:43We have got a deal.
24:43Yeah.
24:46Well done, Blues.
24:47Your big spend's in the bag with these enameled silver, salt and pepper shakers for £75.
24:56Right, teams.
24:57Shopping's over.
24:58I mean, we couldn't do it without you, Colin.
25:00We couldn't do it without you.
25:01We're a little gem.
25:02Let's remind ourselves what the red team bought.
25:06They began their shop with the Victorian bisque doll for £75, meeting their big spend.
25:13This collection of model buses set them back £15.
25:17And finally, this model sailing boat met my team sport challenge, £30 paid.
25:25Leslie, how were they?
25:28Oh, they were fantastic.
25:30Great fun as well.
25:32Dragging me all over the place they were.
25:35So, tell me, which was your favourite item?
25:38Having grandchildren, I'm going to say the doll.
25:41Yes, that's gorgeous, isn't it?
25:42It is.
25:43And what about you, Anil?
25:44I'm going to go for the bus is, because we only went out to get one bus.
25:49And five came along.
25:51Oh, my goodness.
25:52And which do you think is going to make the most money at auction?
25:54Again, I'm going to say the doll.
25:56You're going to say the doll?
25:56Massive reduction on it, so that was...
25:58Fingers crossed.
26:00I don't think you'll need them crossed.
26:02And what about you?
26:03I'm going to agree with Ash, and I think the doll.
26:05So, in all, you spent £120.
26:09We did, yes.
26:09Which leaves £180.
26:11Could you please hand that over to your esteemed expert, Lesley?
26:15Here, Lesley.
26:17Ooh, thanks very much.
26:19A nice amount of money, Lesley.
26:22What do you think you're going to spend it on?
26:25I think I need to go for a cup of tea first and have a think.
26:31All right.
26:32Very wise.
26:33So, while Lesley goes for a cup of tea and a think, let's remind ourselves what the blue team bought.
26:40They teed off with the golfers' tankard, which met my challenge, to buy a piece of studio pottery.
26:47£4 paid.
26:49They got a really good deal on this vintage folding bike, which cost £28.
26:53And their final buy was their big spend, £75 for the enamelled salt and pepper shakers.
27:01So, have you had a wonderful shop?
27:03We've had a great day.
27:04Oh, it's been fantastic.
27:05So much fun.
27:06How were they, Colin?
27:07They were great.
27:08It was so quick, wasn't it?
27:10We had the ball, yeah.
27:11So, which was your favourite item?
27:13My favourite item was the salt and pepper crouette.
27:16I just think they're really dinky and a bit novel.
27:18Lovely.
27:18And they were the big spend?
27:20They were the big spend.
27:21So, which was your favourite item?
27:24Mine has to be the bike.
27:26I just think it's really unique and there's just something quite quirky in it that I love about it.
27:31And which do you think is going to make the most money at auction?
27:34I think both of us think the bike.
27:35Do you?
27:36Yeah.
27:36Both of us are pretty.
27:37Yeah, it's so retro and I think it's probably in fashion right now and it'll appeal to a lot of people.
27:41So, how much did you spend in all?
27:43We spent £107.
27:45£107.
27:46Leaving £193 for Colin.
27:49There we go, Colin.
27:50Thank you very much.
27:51Don't spend it all at once.
27:53Well, I just might.
27:55You never know.
27:57So, Colin, any ideas what you're going to spend this on?
28:00Well, I came out of the shop having loads of ideas because we had so much time at the end to just look around.
28:07So, there were a few things on periphery vision that might just work.
28:11So, while Colin goes off in search of his bonus buy, it's time for me to head over to the auction.
28:20I've come to Maxwell's in Stockport to meet Tom Blackmore.
28:25Hello, Tom.
28:26Lovely to be here with you.
28:27Good to see you.
28:27Thanks for having us.
28:29First was the red team, Ash and O'Neill, ably led by lovely Leslie.
28:35And their first item was this doll.
28:37Now, what do you make of her?
28:39Yeah, nice sort of 19th century Parisian doll.
28:42If she had glass eyes, I think she'd be a winner.
28:46But with the porcelain, it's not as sought after, really.
28:49OK.
28:50What's your estimate?
28:51£30 to £50.
28:52They paid £75.
28:55I think that might be a bit ambitious.
28:57OK.
28:58Well, their second item was this selection of Corgi buses.
29:02Now, what do you make of those?
29:04Yeah, nice little relatively modern collection with some local interest.
29:09Limited editions, nicely boxed and nicely kept.
29:13But we find there's quite a lot on the market these days.
29:17So they don't have the value as some of the older sort of 60s models,
29:21that kind of thing, really.
29:22So there is people out there for them, but not in the same quantity.
29:26No.
29:26So what's your estimate?
29:28£15 to £20.
29:29Well, they'll be happy.
29:30They paid £15.
29:32Mm, just on the money.
29:33And then, finally, they bought this vintage pond yacht,
29:38which ticked off my challenge,
29:40which was to buy an item with a connection to a team sport.
29:43Mm.
29:44So what do you think about this?
29:46Nice model, in good condition.
29:48Not a bad maker.
29:49We find these days there's not as many pond yacht enthusiasts around,
29:54unfortunately, so they don't do as well as they used to do.
29:56Right.
29:56But they're still a collectible item.
29:58And your estimate?
29:59£20 to £40.
30:00Well, they paid smack-bang in the middle.
30:03£30 paid.
30:05Right.
30:05It could well do better, then.
30:07And now, let's go on to the blue team,
30:09which was Ruth and Lucy,
30:12led by expert Colin Young.
30:14And their first item was, my challenge,
30:17a piece of studio pottery.
30:19And they went for this mug.
30:21Now, what do you make of that?
30:23Interesting piece.
30:25Golfing, always popular.
30:27Yeah, nice piece of studio.
30:29I can't see it being hugely commercial.
30:32But I suppose you could have a tea or a pint in it at the golf course if you wanted.
30:36What's your estimate?
30:37£10 to £15.
30:38Well, they'll be pleased.
30:39They paid £4.
30:40Oh, £4.
30:41Yeah, that should get someone interested.
30:43Great.
30:44And then their next item was this bicycle, the folding bicycle.
30:48It's a handy piece of kit these days.
30:50A little bit of wear and tear in places.
30:53But, yeah, looks like it might be a fun one to use.
30:56And what's your estimate?
30:57£20 to £40.
30:58Well, they paid £28.
31:01Yeah, mid-estimate, so hopefully we'll do OK for them.
31:03Good, fingers crossed.
31:05And then their third item was the salt and pepper shakers.
31:10Very pretty items, these.
31:12Classic sort of Danish enamel on them.
31:16Really interesting shape.
31:17I can see these doing really well.
31:19Good.
31:20And what's your estimate?
31:21£60 to £80 on those.
31:22Well, £75 paid.
31:24I think they could carry on a bit.
31:25That's not a bad price.
31:27Yeah.
31:27Well, that's excellent.
31:28So, you're on the rostrum today?
31:30Mm, I am.
31:31Great.
31:32Looking forward to it.
31:32We'll do our best with it.
31:34Out of 85, £90.
31:36£95 is the bid now.
31:37Fair warning, ladies and gentlemen, I will sell.
31:40Ash, Emile, Lesley, Emma, are you excited to be here?
31:44Really excited.
31:45A little bit nervous?
31:47A lot.
31:48Have you been to an auction before?
31:50No, never.
31:51This time.
31:51Nothing to worry about.
31:53All is well.
31:54Your first item, which was your big spend, is a lovely doll.
31:57£75 paid.
32:00You've not long to wait, because it's coming up right now.
32:03Here we have a 19th century small Parisian porcelain-headed doll.
32:07So, what should we say for this one?
32:08I have commission interest.
32:10I can start the bidding on this lot at £20 on commission.
32:13Come on.
32:13I need £20 on commission.
32:14You need it.
32:16At £20 now.
32:18Any further bids?
32:19I have 20 and five.
32:20Come on.
32:2135 with you.
32:23Commission's out now.
32:23We're in the room there.
32:24At £35 now.
32:26Are we all finished this time?
32:27Fair warning.
32:28No, we're not.
32:28We're not finished.
32:29Hiya.
32:29£45.
32:3350 bid.
32:34And five.
32:3655 now.
32:37Any further bids at £55?
32:39Oh!
32:41That's rumoured.
32:42£55.
32:43Don't worry.
32:44£55.
32:45Could be worse.
32:46That's minus £20.
32:49But don't worry.
32:50It's not a lot.
32:51Your next item is the buses.
32:54£15 only paid.
32:57They're all boxed, mint condition.
32:59They're coming up right now.
33:01We have the Corgi original omnibus models here.
33:05Double-deckers.
33:06All boxed here.
33:07Nice condition.
33:08Some limited models as well.
33:10Start me somewhere.
33:10£20 for it.
33:12£20 is the bid.
33:13Yes!
33:13We're in a profit.
33:13Yes, we're in a profit.
33:15Yes, we're in a profit.
33:17Any further bids now?
33:19I have £20.
33:20Are we all finished at £20 this time?
33:22For the buses, fair warning, I am going to sell.
33:25Yes!
33:26£20.
33:28Brilliant.
33:29That is plus £5, which takes you to minus 15.
33:34Ooh.
33:34Those dizzy heights.
33:36You're creeping back.
33:38Now, your next slot is my challenge,
33:41an item with a connection to a team sport.
33:43That's right.
33:44And you bought this lovely pond yacht.
33:47£30 paid.
33:49Is it going to sail away to a profit?
33:51That's helpful.
33:51It looks so.
33:53It's coming up now.
33:54This vintage wooden pond yacht, star yacht Birkenhead, named Endeavour 4.
34:00Start me somewhere for it.
34:01£20.
34:0220.
34:0320 bid.
34:04And five, sir.
34:05And 30.
34:07And five.
34:07Yes!
34:08Oh, come on!
34:09Any further bids now?
34:12I have £35 and £40 just in time.
34:14Oh, come on!
34:15We're in the room still at £45.
34:17£45 then.
34:19Oh, yes!
34:21£45.
34:22Are we even yet?
34:22That is plus 15, which takes your total to zero.
34:28Yay!
34:29Which is brilliant.
34:31And you've got all to play for, because you've still got Leslie's bonus buy.
34:35So, close your eyes, guys.
34:37Leslie, could you please go and get your bonus buy?
34:39Kilt parade.
34:41Nice picture, Steve.
34:41What shall we say?
34:42Right.
34:43Open your eyes.
34:45Oh, wow.
34:46That is very pretty.
34:48It is pretty.
34:50Do you remember it?
34:51I do.
34:51Yeah, we remember it, yes.
34:53We did pick it up.
34:54OK, so it's an enamel teapot.
34:59You wouldn't use it for real.
35:00It's just a small collectible, and they are very collectible items.
35:04The enamel is in perfect condition as well.
35:06How much did you pay for it, Lillian?
35:09£15.
35:10How much do you think we can make it, Leslie?
35:12Mm-hmm.
35:13£20 to £25?
35:15Yes.
35:16I think we have to go for it, don't we?
35:17100%.
35:18You're definitely going for it.
35:19Yes.
35:20Right.
35:20Let's find out what our auctioneer thinks about Leslie's bonus buy.
35:26An interesting item.
35:27Unusual designer, Charlotte Davite.
35:30People like fish.
35:32People like small display teapots.
35:34So, hopefully, it should do OK.
35:36And what's your estimate?
35:37£15 to £20.
35:38Right, well, £15 paid.
35:40£15 paid.
35:41They should, hopefully, be in luck with that.
35:45I've had a word with the auctioneer, and he likes your teapot, Leslie.
35:49He likes it quite a bit.
35:50And he's estimated it at £15 to £20.
35:53Oh, right.
35:55So, with a fair wind, there should be a bit of profit.
35:57That's hoping to be.
36:00Good luck.
36:00It's coming up right now.
36:02Miniature blue enamel teapot by Charlotte Davite.
36:05£20 for it?
36:06£20?

36:09And £30 is the bid.
36:09Oh, yes.
36:12Win the profit.

36:23Yeah!
36:24We're in profit.
36:25We're in profit.
36:26Fantastic.
36:26Thank you, Leslie.
36:27Thank you, Leslie.
36:28Thanks to your wonderful expert, Leslie, you have turned a zero to a nice fat £15 profit.
36:36Well done, Leslie.
36:38Yes!
36:39Brilliant.
36:40I'm really happy about that.
36:41I am.
36:46Well, Lucy, Ruth, are you excited?
36:49Cannot wait.
36:50Super excited, yeah.
36:51A bit nervous?
36:53Yeah, definitely.
36:54Don't worry.
36:55Colin's here to look after you.
36:56I'm here to be nervous for you.
36:58Well, your first item, which was my challenge, a piece of studio pottery, you went out and
37:05bought that lovely mug, didn't you?
37:07We did, yeah.
37:07£4 only paid.
37:09I'm a bargain.
37:10We're happy to go for it.
37:11That's to be seen.
37:11It's coming up right now.
37:13We have this vintage 1970s mug here, studio pottery, decorated with a golfer, taking a shot.
37:19Start me at £15 for the mug.
37:22£15.
37:23No.
37:23Start me at £10, then, if you like.
37:24Ooh!
37:26No.
37:27Start me at £5, if you like.
37:29£5.
37:30Yes.
37:32That's a profit.
37:32Any further bids now?
37:35I have five, and I will sell at £5.
37:38Wow.
37:39Wow.
37:39£5.
37:40That's plus £1 profit.
37:43Now, your second item, the 20th Century Folding Bicycle.
37:47I'm so excited for this.
37:48£28 only paid.
37:50But is it going to ride off with a profit for you?
37:53Ingers crossed.
37:54Well, we're going to find out.
37:55Let's find out.
37:56The late 20th Century Folding Bicycle made by Universal here.

38:11Oh, it's wrong in all.
38:13Wrong in all.
38:14Wrong in all.
38:14£15.
38:16At £15, are we all finished at £15?
38:18All done this time?
38:20Fair warning.
38:21Oh.
38:23£15.
38:25That is minus 13.
38:27I can't believe it's a palace, by the way.
38:28It's a palace.
38:29You're at minus 12.
38:31But don't be despondent.
38:32You've got your big spend.
38:34Lovely little pair of salt and pepper shakers.
38:37£75 paid.
38:39And here they are.
38:41This pair of Danish salt and pepper shakers in the form of mushrooms.
38:45Very pretty shakers here.
38:47Start me somewhere, then.
38:47£80, if you like.
38:48£80.
38:49£80 and bid.
38:50Yes.
38:51There's some movers and shakers for this.
38:54And £5 now.
38:55We're in the room now at £85.
38:57Have £85.
38:58£90 now.
38:59£95.
38:59Another bid.
39:00£5.
39:02And £100.
39:04And £10.
39:05£110 is now the bid at £110.
39:07£120, they're back again.
39:09It's getting better.
39:10Getting better.
39:12Are we all finished this time?
39:13Fair warning, ladies and gentlemen.
39:14I will sell.
39:15Yes.
39:16£120.
39:18That's £45 profit.
39:22Yes.
39:22You were at minus 12, so you're now at plus £33, which is brilliant.
39:31And you've still got magnificent Colin's bonus buy.
39:35Oh, I can't wait to see that.
39:36So, close your eyes, ladies.
39:39Colin, please go and get your buy.
39:42Right.
39:43Open your eyes, ladies.
39:45Oh, the tiny tankard.
39:47Well remembered.
39:49The tankard.
39:49She was a beauty.
39:5018th century Chinese pallet mug or tankard.
39:54We discussed it when we looked round on the shop.
39:56We looked round, didn't we?
39:57Just that little bit of repair there, but really it's next to nothing on it.
40:00Yeah.
40:01Lovely serpent handle on it.
40:03Beautiful decoration.
40:04What did you pay for it?
40:06Well, I got it for £75.
40:10I managed to go back and do a little bit more negotiating.
40:13Yeah.
40:14What do you think it will sell for?
40:15I think it has got to be worth a minimum of 80 to 120.
40:18OK.
40:19I rate it.
40:20OK.
40:21Because you love it, Colin, I think, go for it.
40:23Yeah, we've got a fake thing here.
40:25We love a gamble.
40:26We do.
40:26OK.
40:27So, let's find out what our auctioneer thinks about Colin's Chinese tankard.
40:33It's a nice big piece, this one.
40:35Nice and bright.
40:36Nice condition overall as well.
40:38You can never count out Chinese export wear.
40:40So, hopefully, it'll do quite well.
40:42And your estimate?
40:4380 to 120.
40:45Well, Colin will be pleased.
40:46He paid £75.
40:48I think that's a good buy.
40:50I've had a way with the auctioneer and he likes Colin's tankard.
40:54He likes it quite a lot, in fact.
40:56He's estimated it at 80 to 120.
40:59Oh, wow.
41:00£75 only paid.
41:02And he's coming up right now.
41:04This Chinese export, very large tankard here, dragon decoration to it.
41:10So, what do we say?
41:10£100?
41:12£100?
41:13No, start me somewhere.
41:14£50.
41:14£50?
41:16£40?
41:17£40.
41:18It's rather silent, isn't it?
41:19Yeah.
41:20£40 bid, thank you.
41:21You're online at £40.
41:23£45, thank you.
41:24There's the hand at £45.
41:25Any further bids at £45?
41:28At £45?
41:30No!
41:30I'm afraid that is minus £30, but don't worry, that still leaves you with a profit of £3.
41:45Caroline, you're rocking the world here.
41:47Well, teams, what a journey that was, eh?
41:59Yeah, quite exciting.
42:00And I've got money to hand out.
42:02Ooh!
42:03But there can be only one winner.
42:09And today, the winning team are the Reds!
42:15Well done, guys.
42:22Blues.
42:23You've finished up winning £3.
42:26£3 profit.
42:28Any ideas what you're going to do with it?
42:30We'll probably get a bottle of pop each on the way home.
42:32Good.
42:34Good, but you've had fun.
42:35We've had fun.
42:36Yeah, we've had a great time.
42:37We've had a great time with Ash and O'Neill as well, so, yeah, it's been really good.
42:41Yeah.
42:41And now, the winners.
42:43You have ended up winning, with a whopping £15.
42:47Ooh!
42:48Well done.
42:48Wonderful, Lesley.
42:49Thanks to Lesley.
42:50Thanks to Lesley, yeah.
42:51So, who's going to have the money?
42:52Ash.
42:53There you are, Ash.
42:55Now, what are you going to do with it?
42:56I think I'll share it with O'Neill.
43:00Brilliant.
43:01And you've enjoyed yourself?
43:02I've had a great time.
43:04It's been great.
