00:05Cada día aquí es lleno de sorpresas.
00:07Es solo una cosa interesante,
00:10después otra interesante,
00:12después otra interesante.
00:15Ah, no, no, no, creo que eso se llama a ti.
00:20En el centro de edinburgh,
00:22el comercio es el curioso y el collectivo.
00:25¿Vale a mi gente a tu personas?
00:27Sí, ok.
00:28...will meet five dealers with money to burn.
00:31Look into my eyes. You need this.
00:34Like vintage buyer JB, mid-century hunter Moses,
00:3970s fanatic Estelle, scrap metal trader Mel,
00:44and brothers Sarkhan and Jay, dealers in mid-century.
00:49Auctioneer Simon is first valuing the item to nail the best sale.
00:53Could be a life-changing amount of money.
00:55So, how will today's lot do?
00:59Look at him go.
01:01That's the quickest I've seen Moses move in seven series.
01:0350 pounds.
01:05Joking.
01:05Almost around it up to 200.
01:07Pushing it now, you're not that good.
01:08When they enter the bidding room.
01:11Here we go.
01:12This is what I'm doing for.
01:14700.
01:15Go on.
01:15Go on.
01:16500 pounds.
01:17Getting a bit warmer.
01:18Do you accept our offer?
01:20It's yours then.
01:22Let's get the show started.
01:23Welcome to the bidding room.
01:25First into the bidding room is Stephen,
01:38with a colourful contraption that is sure to catch the dealer's attention.
01:42And wallets.
01:43I've brought up the type of thing you might find at a fairground or at a circus.
01:48And it's quite colourful,
01:49and it's a little bit of light entertainment for friends when they come round and visit.
01:52Hello, Stephen.
01:56Hello, how are you?
01:57Very good.
01:58How are you?
01:58Yeah, good, thank you.
01:59Where did you find this?
02:01So I found that in an antique store.
02:04And I thought, I'm going to buy that.
02:05I'm going to put it on the wall.
02:06And when my friends come round for a cup of tea, we've got a game to play.
02:10It'd be a hoopla game, wouldn't it?
02:12Hoopla, yeah.
02:12From a standard point of distance, we would then throw the ring,
02:18and hopefully we would get a five or a result.
02:24They were sort of made from rudimentary bits that were lying about, really, weren't they?
02:28Made of sort of planked construction, isn't it?
02:31Yeah, so it's almost as if somebody's taken a barn door,
02:35sawed it in half and given it a lick of paint, basically.
02:38But our traditional happy clown's face in the middle
02:42with his little Rudolph red nose,
02:44very difficult to date, Stephen,
02:46because they did give them a spruce up at the end of each season.
02:50But it's one of those, it is what it is, it's great fun.
02:54We know anything to do with funfares and things, it's collectible.
02:56Yeah, it always sells well, doesn't it?
02:58Yeah, it always sells well.
02:59And this is, you know, it's interactive.
03:01Yes.
03:01Great bit of fun.
03:02So whatever money you make, what are you going to do with the money?
03:05I've written my autobiography.
03:06Have you?
03:07So I'm either going to get some special hardback copies made
03:11just to give out to friends,
03:12or I'll use the proceeds to making it into a film.
03:16Which part would you like me to play in the film?
03:18I think we need to find a part for you.
03:19We need to have a chat.
03:20I'll get my people to ring your people.
03:21Yes, OK.
03:22OK, fine.
03:22The big question is, what do you think it's worth?
03:27In an auction, easily it would be £60 to £100,
03:32but I know with your gift of the gab...
03:35I think I might be able to talk them up.
03:36Yes.
03:36Do you think I'd offer them a free book and bribe them?
03:39I think you should try that.
03:41I'm going to do that.
03:41Yeah.
03:42I'll try that.
03:42Yeah.
03:43Push the fun elements, that's the big selling point here.
03:46Fairground is always popular.
03:49It's a great fun game.
03:50I'm sure they'll have a good play with it.
03:51Happy to meet you.
03:52And you.
03:53And very best of luck.
03:54Thank you very much.
03:55Thank you.
03:55OK, thanks.
03:56Bye.
03:57So, shall we have a go?
03:59Of course, mate.
03:59All right, then.
04:04Thank you very much.
04:05Wow, wow, wow, wow.
04:06I guess if I get anywhere in the region of £100, £150, I'd be happier.
04:13If it goes for more, I'd be happier.
04:15So I might try and get them to up their price a little bit more by giving them a free copy of my signed book.
04:22It might actually drop the value, I don't know, but they're going to get a free copy anyway.
04:25Hello, welcome to the bidding room.
04:30Thank you.
04:30What's your name?
04:31My name's Stephen.
04:32Hi, Stephen.
04:33Hello, everybody.
04:34Hello.
04:35Would you like to reveal what's underneath you?
04:36Yeah, are you ready?
04:37Yes, indeed.
04:37I can't wait.
04:38OK.
04:41Oh.
04:41Oh.
04:43Nice, isn't it?
04:44Oh, yes.
04:46I hate clowns, but actually, he's quite charming.
04:49Yeah, he's not terrifying, is he?
04:52No, he's a jolly clown.
04:53He's a friendly-looking clown, isn't he?
04:55Yeah, he is friendly.
04:56Is it a two-player game?
04:57Well, it's a three-player, because we've got three hoops.
04:59I think the brothers should demo it.
05:00Yes.
05:01We'll see who the best brother is.
05:03I think we know that already, JB.
05:05It's a fairground game, and normally you've got to pay.
05:08Wait, we'll see when we get to the big in.
05:10We'll see when we get to the big in.
05:12Go on, go on.
05:13No, no, no, no, no, no.
05:14Age before beauty.
05:16Oh!
05:18Yeah, I'm going, Shikhan.
05:22Oh!
05:23The board's at an angle.
05:25The board's at an angle.
05:25The board's at an angle.
05:26Yeah, the board's at an angle.
05:27Go on, see if I can do any better than you lot.
05:31No.
05:32Have another go.
05:34No, see, lucky one.
05:36No, see?
05:37Oh, no.
05:37I do actually want it.
05:38No, you don't want to.
05:39But just remember, I only had one go, and everyone's having three go.
05:42Just...
05:42Just to...
05:44Oh!
05:46Yay!
05:48Finally!
05:48I've never tried it.
05:49I'm going to throw them all at once.
05:52Yay!
05:53I've got one!
05:54Hey!
05:57What did Simon say about it?
06:00So, Simon thought it was really difficult to age,
06:02because, of course, if it's original,
06:04it could have been painted over a dozen times.
06:06They utilise stuff until it's, you know, till the very end,
06:10so it will be painted over and over and over again.
06:13So, if it is from the 50s, I would expect lots of layers on it.
06:17I don't think it's 50s, personally.
06:19The problem is, is because this has become so popular in the past,
06:23say, five years, people are using the same methods
06:25as they did back then to fake it.
06:26And they are so good that it's quite difficult to tell.
06:30I mean, it's age, it doesn't really matter.
06:32It's reality of being used in a fairground
06:35is the most important thing to us.
06:38With that in mind, I don't think it really matters too much,
06:41whether it's a reproduction, whether it's old, whether it's original or not.
06:44I think the value is in its charm.
06:48You know, you've got a lot of charisma going on.
06:50Are you a salesman?
06:51I'm not a salesman, no.
06:53I'm a motivational speaker.
06:54Oh, well, that makes sense.
06:55So I speak professionally.
06:56How did you even get into all of that?
06:58What's the story behind it?
07:00It was by accident, really.
07:01I was really badly bullied at school,
07:03and my only escapism was motorbikes.
07:05And I bought a motorbike at the age of 13.
07:07At the age of 18, I lost my right arm on that motorbike.
07:10And obviously, all my job opportunities had gone.
07:13So I didn't know what a one-armed guy could do.
07:15So I tried everything.
07:16And I found that I was good at things that had previously been rubbish at.
07:19And I drifted in and out of different areas.
07:21And I started restoring jukeboxes and one-armed bandits, would you believe?
07:26And I sold them all over the world.
07:29And then I invented a digital jukebox that earned a lot of money.
07:33And then I decided I wanted to face some of my fears.
07:37And my fears was that of horses.
07:38So I took horse riding lessons.
07:40And I came third in the National Dressage Qualifiers.
07:43Wow.
07:44And then I was afraid of flying.
07:46So I took flight training with the help of a charity called Flying Scholarship for Disabled People.
07:51I needed a prosthetic arm making by the NHS,
07:54but that arm failed dramatically at 3,500 feet.
07:57So I made my own prosthetic arm.
08:00And I became a private pilot in 2015.
08:03Wow.
08:03And off the back of that, and all the successes, I wrote my book.
08:06And off the back of that, I became a motivational speaker,
08:09being invited around the world to speak at different events.
08:12You're an amazing person.
08:14You really are.
08:15Well, I'm going to throw in a signed copy as well, along with this, to the winning bidder.
08:20Wow.
08:20So hopefully that pushes the price sky high.
08:23Well, that's your job, because you're the motivational speaker.
08:26Well, I'm motivating you now.
08:27You've been motivated to spend some money.
08:31With the dealers motivated, can it reach Simon's £60 to £100 estimate?
08:35Actually, this would be great for my village fade.
08:40You've motivated me.
08:41I will start the bid in at £50.
08:45I think we should all stop clowning around, and I'm going to go in at £60.
08:48I'll go £70.
08:49£70.
08:49I'll put £80 on it.
08:51Don't forget, there's no such thing as failure.
08:53Only different degrees of success.
08:56With that in mind...
08:57With that in mind.
08:57You could be more successful if you owned this.
09:01I think I'll bid at £85.
09:04An extra £100, surely.
09:05£90.
09:06I'm going to round it up for you, £100.
09:08I like that.
09:09Well, once I round it up to £200, I like the sound of that.
09:12You're pushing it now, you're not that good.
09:14I'm not pushing it.
09:15In actual fact, you know, the winner can have a signed copy,
09:17everybody else can have an unsigned copy.
09:19Oh.
09:21I'll give you a fiver to sign it.
09:22The price has gone up to £105, then.
09:24No, because I don't really want that.
09:26So I'm going to say that I'm out, but I will...
09:28Oh, don't be out.
09:28I'm sorry.
09:29Well, you can have a book anyway, but...
09:31You know what?
09:32I don't want to be going any further than £100, really.
09:34Couldn't go any more than £100.
09:36Could you go £110 and a cup of tea?
09:38Do you know, I don't drink tea.
09:40Don't like cups of tea.
09:42I don't know.
09:43I can't go more than £100, so I'm out.
09:47We are offering you a ton, sir, £100.
09:50Would you accept?
09:51Yes, I'm going to accept it.
09:52Yes!
09:53Thank you very much.
09:54Do you know, as dealers, when we sell something,
09:57we never sell the item.
09:59We always sell the story behind the item.
10:01And that has an amazing story.
10:03Thank you very much.
10:03Oh, you're welcome.
10:04Thank you for buying.
10:05What did Simon value at, by the way?
10:07So he said he thought it was somewhere between £60 to £100,
10:10somewhere around there.
10:12I did OK.
10:13I think the book really pushed the bidding up.
10:16Here's the book.
10:17Here's your cash.
10:18Thank you very much.
10:19Steven Spielberg, I've got £100 in my pocket.
10:21If you want to start producing my book as a film,
10:23yeah, I've got an investment.
10:25Thank you.
10:26Enjoy the book.
10:26Let me know what you think.
10:27Lovely, nice to meet you.
10:28Thank you.
10:34It's all right, all right, all right.
10:37Next into the bidding room is Evie,
10:51with a decorative pair displaying an unusual subject.
10:56The pieces I've brought today are from the 30s,
10:59and they're made of board, and they're educational.
11:03You know, I broke my metatarsal.
11:05Sounds nasty.
11:06Hello, Evie.
11:08Hello.
11:09Lovely to meet you.
11:10Nice to meet you, too.
11:11Welcome to the bidding room.
11:12Yeah.
11:12Look what you've brought in.
11:14So I've brought in two, I think, 1930s medical boards.
11:18Where did you find them?
11:19Just from a market.
11:20At the time, I was studying radiography,
11:22and I really liked anatomy,
11:23and I just thought they were really interesting,
11:24so I really liked them and wanted to put them on my wall.
11:26Are you still studying radiology?
11:28No.
11:28What are you doing now?
11:30I'm doing theatre and film.
11:31Do you remember what you paid for them?
11:33For both of them, I paid around 40.
11:35So you thought time was to bring them to the bidding room?
11:37Mainly because I wanted to know more about them.
11:40The name, I don't know if you noticed,
11:42the name was William Shull.
11:44Yeah.
11:44A very famous name even in today's market for foot care products.
11:49Evie, if you've noticed the publishing dates,
11:51I think this one is 1937 and then 1939.
11:56These would have been produced reasonably early in his career
11:58because he didn't graduate until about 1922-ish.
12:01Really interesting chap.
12:02He produced over 1,000 foot care products.
12:06Most of these charts were obviously for educational purposes.
12:09Yeah.
12:10He was really, really focused on promoting foot health,
12:14because he believed that everything stemmed from that.
12:18I read that he encouraged the first self-serve shop as well.
12:21So they moved away from clerks
12:23and you could actually, like, pick up the shoes yourself.
12:25Fascinating guy.
12:27We know they're collectible.
12:28They always sell.
12:29Yeah, they are.
12:30Without the connection, to be honest,
12:31just as decorative posters, if you like, really.
12:34Wherever you get, what would you do with it?
12:37So I run a local music collective in Edinburgh,
12:40so it'll go back into that.
12:41Fantastic.
12:41Excellent.
12:42Yeah.
12:42OK.
12:42Put your best foot forward.
12:45How much are they worth?
12:48I think you bought quite well.
12:50I can see a profit.
12:52And actually, I don't think the condition's that bad, Evie,
12:54to be honest.
12:55A little bit of fading on the corners,
12:57but it's not affected the image at all.
12:59I'm going to quote you an auction value of between £50 and £80.
13:07Sound all right?
13:08Yeah, that sounds amazing.
13:09Fantastic.
13:10Way more than I thought.
13:11So, Evie, thank you so much for bringing them.
13:12It's been a joy meeting you.
13:15Thanks very much.
13:15Thank you so much.
13:15Thank you.
13:16Bye.
13:16It was writing there.
13:19Yeah, it slightly faded.
13:20It was.
13:21Yeah, but we could write our own things in there.
13:23Yes.
13:24Ouch.
13:25You just trot on my big toe.
13:26They gave me a better evaluation than I thought,
13:32around £50 to £80.
13:34I'm very happy with that,
13:35considering I only paid £40 for them.
13:37I feel pretty confident
13:38because I know a lot about the area,
13:41and I also know quite a bit about the pieces now.
13:47Hello.
13:48Hello.
13:48Hello.
13:48Hiya.
13:49Welcome to the bidding room.
13:51Thank you.
13:52And what's your name?
13:53My name's Evie.
13:54Hello, Evie.
13:54Hello, Evie.
13:56Would you like to...
13:56to reveal the item so we can have a look?
14:00Ooh.
14:00There we go.
14:01They're anatomical boards.
14:03If anyone knows the name Dr Shawl at all.
14:05Oh, so you mean like the foot cream people?
14:07I've not heard of the company's shop.
14:09You will have seen the shoe.
14:10You know the wooden sold with the single strap across?
14:13Everyone wore them in 70s.
14:14Oh, yeah.
14:14Yeah.
14:15So they obviously made these to nail,
14:17to basically get the science behind the shoe, didn't they?
14:19I think that he gave to them
14:20to basically show other shoemakers about the science,
14:25because he used to hold, like, classes to do with podiatry
14:28to basically sell to shoemakers
14:32that you could be better at making your shoes
14:35if you know this information.
14:36So they're basically advertising.
14:38Colours are quite nice on them, actually.
14:44They're extremely decorative.
14:45They are.
14:45Much more than I thought.
14:47What size feet are you, Moses?
14:49They look like a size 14.
14:50Mr Average me.
14:51What size are you, Moses?
14:52Do you get yours handmade?
14:53Nice colours.
14:55And they're in fair good condition as well,
14:57apart from a bit of light damage there.
15:00They're quite decorative.
15:02They are.
15:02It's nice to have the yellow, though, isn't it?
15:04Yeah.
15:04Because usually they're, like, white background
15:06and a little bit bland.
15:07But you've got two different markets for these,
15:09which is interesting with anything anatomical,
15:11because usually it's people who collect the macabre,
15:13collect the sort of weird and wonderful things.
15:15But you've actually got the advertising side of things as well,
15:18so you've got two markets to appeal to,
15:20which is quite good for you.
15:21And because they're quite brightly coloured as well,
15:23that also helps.
15:24Do you know what date they are?
15:25So, on the bottom, one has 1939 and one has 1937.
15:30Why have you decided to sell them now?
15:32I'm not putting them anywhere.
15:33They're just in my cupboard.
15:34Locked away.
15:35Yeah, I think someone else would enjoy the history
15:38a bit more than me.
15:40OK, you lot, I think it's about time we got bidding.
15:45Oh, the dealers seem to be head over heels.
15:48But does Evie have enough of a foothold
15:51to secure Simon's £50 to £80 valuation?
15:55I have lovely feet, by the way.
15:57I think I'm going to put my foot straight in it.
15:59Go on then.
16:00At £30.
16:01I'd say £35.
16:04£40.
16:06£50.
16:07We'll do £60.
16:09Will you now?
16:09Nearly.
16:11£65.
16:12Ooh!
16:13Ooh!
16:14£66.
16:16£66.
16:16£66.
16:20£70.
16:22Evie, I'm going to say that I'm out, but thank you.
16:25I'm also going to say that I'm also out.
16:28I'm out.
16:30I quite like him.
16:32£75.
16:33We, as in me and my brother, are going to step back
16:36and we are going to leave it to Moses.
16:39Do you accept £75?
16:42I would be very happy with £75.
16:44Oh, brilliant.
16:45Well done.
16:48Can I ask what Simon valued in that?
16:50Um, he said £50 to £80.
16:52Can we ask what you paid for them?
16:54I paid £40.
16:54£40, well done.
16:55That's a good boy.
16:59Everyone made a bid.
17:00Everyone was quite interested in the pieces,
17:02but Moses came out on top.
17:04I'm really happy with this because I get to put it back
17:06into my collective and we'll probably use the £75
17:10to make our next magazine.
17:12Thank you so much, Evie, for coming in
17:14and allowing me to buy two beautiful decorative items.
17:19No problem.
17:19Thank you very much.
17:20Thank you.
17:20Thank you.
17:21You know what?
17:30That Moses is always strides ahead.
17:34Get it?
17:36Strides.
17:36Very good, Jake.
17:37Thank you.
17:39Don't give up your day job.
17:40Thank you.
17:41I'm here all week.
17:51Are these those feet pictures that you like?
17:53I'm going to ask you some questions on feet.
17:57And if you get the question right,
18:00you get the chance to eat.
18:04Always up for a chocolate brownie.
18:06So you ready?
18:07I'm ready.
18:08This part of the foot.
18:12Hmm.
18:14Brownie's looking good.
18:15Oh, the heel?
18:17You mean your heel?
18:18What's the right medical term?
18:21Helios heel.
18:24Helium helios heel...
18:27heel itch?
18:28It's not looking too good, is it, Melissa?
18:31What?
18:31I've given you a chance.
18:33I'm going to have to.
18:35Oh, Moses!
18:36I hope it tastes like your foot.
18:40Thank you.
18:43Third into the bidding room today is Ruth,
18:45with a luxurious item that's a cut above the rest.
18:49It is something that's about, I'm guessing, 70, 80 years old.
18:54It is made out of green velvet, I believe,
18:56and it has come from America.
19:00I think there's a reason why we're staying down here in the dealer's room for this one, isn't there?
19:06Oh, dearly.
19:09Hello, Ruth.
19:10Hi.
19:11Welcome to the bidding room.
19:12Thank you for having me.
19:13Thank you for bringing this quite heavy piece of phone to it.
19:17I know, it's heavy, yeah, really heavy.
19:19I think it's a barber's chair, isn't it?
19:20Yes, you're right.
19:21And where did you find it?
19:22I found it in a shop that sells jukeboxes, just outside of Birmingham.
19:26Because you were after a jukebox?
19:28Yeah, my dad was, yeah.
19:29But you ended up with this?
19:30And a jukebox.
19:31And where does it live?
19:32We have a party room, and it lives in there.
19:35Why don't you invite Simon and I over for a party?
19:37It's too late now.
19:38My mum has decided the party room is no more, hence why I'm here with my chair.
19:41Do you remember what you paid for it?
19:43So my dad bought it early 90s, and he paid £1,200.
19:47Did he now?
19:4830 years ago.
19:48So he'd have paid probably retail, in the retail market.
19:51Yeah.
19:51OK, have we got Simon here?
19:53I can't wait to hear what he has to say.
19:54Well, there's lots to talk about, isn't there, really?
19:56Yeah.
19:57When you look at it, it's so much more than a barber's chair.
19:59It's almost a work of art.
20:01Yeah.
20:01There's so much going on.
20:02We've got fabric, we've got chrome, we've got enamel.
20:06It's all about the design from this period, which was very early 1900s.
20:11Oh, you think?
20:11Probably originally this was about 1910-ish.
20:13Oh, wow.
20:14Around then.
20:15You've probably noticed the maker on there.
20:17Yes.
20:17Emile Pader of Chicago.
20:19One of the top makers at the time, and they became sort of synonymous, really, with this
20:25kind of chair.
20:26Originally, it wouldn't probably have had a fabric covering, because that wouldn't make sense
20:30with hair clippings.
20:31Yes, we did think that.
20:32And I love the footrest, because you think, oh yes, nicely decorated footrest, but of course
20:38it does that as well for extra comfort.
20:41It's in absolutely beautiful condition, I must say.
20:44If you're going to be really, really picky, we've one little button missing on there.
20:49I love the way it still turns.
20:51It'd be a great TV chair almost.
20:53It's great, watching the telly.
20:55For a few years, my dad did use it to watch the TV.
20:58Really?
20:59Yeah.
21:00Until I'm on time to move it.
21:01Absolutely stunning.
21:02Absolutely stunning.
21:03And very, very popular.
21:04A lot of these trendy barber shops would love to have this as a centrepiece.
21:07You walk in, you see one of those, oh yes, I'm going in there.
21:10So, Simon, what do you think my chair's worth?
21:13Well, it's a cut-up of the rest, Ruth, so I think you should be doing really, really well.
21:21I think a confident auction estimate would easily be in that £500 to £800 bracket.
21:28That sounds great.
21:29Yeah, I'm sure my mum will be very happy with that.
21:31Push the condition, I think that's fabulous.
21:33It's such a visual thing as well.
21:35I think instantly they will be hooked on it.
21:37Yeah, great.
21:38I think you'll do very well.
21:39I hope so.
21:40Nice to meet you.
21:41Cheers, likewise.
21:41See you later.
21:42Bye.
21:44If you had it at home, where would you put it?
21:47I quite like the TV idea.
21:48Yeah.
21:49Remote control.
21:50You can lean back whenever you want.
21:51If you wanted to nod off during the advert break.
21:53Yeah, it's fantastic.
21:59The barber's chair has been valued between £500 and £800.
22:03When I get into the bidding room, I'm going to focus on how good the condition of the chair is.
22:07Maybe they can sit in it and see how good it really is.
22:11Hello.
22:13Hi.
22:13Hello.
22:14Hello.
22:14Hello.
22:14Hello.
22:15Hello.
22:15Hello.
22:15Welcome to the bidding room.
22:16Thanks for having me.
22:17And what's your name?
22:18It's Ruth.
22:18Hello, Ruth.
22:19Hello, Ruth.
22:19Good to meet you, Ruth.
22:21Could you do the big reveal, please?
22:23Ooh.
22:24Oh.
22:25He's rather nice.
22:26So has it been in your home?
22:28Yeah, we've had it at home for over 30 years now.
22:30It was in the lounge for a bit.
22:31My dad used to watch the TV on it.
22:34Nice, so we've got an armchair.
22:36Yeah, and then it's been in our party room ever since.
22:39I like your house, a party room.
22:41I know, yes, a party room.
22:43JB, what can you see from there?
22:45So I think the upholstery is not original, so have you had this recovered?
22:49We haven't had it recovered, no, we bought it like that.
22:51Colors work really well together.
22:53So it's an American one, so it's from Chicago.
22:55How do you pronounce the name?
22:57Padere.
22:57Padere.
22:58Emile J. Padere.
22:59They were one of the leading brands of the time.
23:01Is this a 30s one?
23:02I thought it was 50s, but Simon said it was early 1900s.
23:07Oh, really?
23:07Oh, wow.
23:07Yes, that was his estimation in the mid-century.
23:10It's so, so stylish.
23:12I mean, these have fallen off a little bit.
23:14Having said that, this is better than mostly you'll find.
23:19Could give you a beard trim.
23:20Do you need some scissors?
23:21No, no one's cutting my beard.
23:23Not today, not ever.
23:24How old's your beard again?
23:26I haven't shaved since 1994.
23:28Before you were born, JB.
23:29Older than me.
23:30I like it.
23:31We like it.
23:33We.
23:33We.
23:34You may like it, but we are going to pay for it.
23:39Right, bro, give us a bit of a massage.
23:42I'll have it.
23:42Oh, yeah, I'll pull the beard.
23:44I would give you 100 quid if you just whipped out some scissors
23:47and just chopped that beard off.
23:48100 quid?
23:49You're not made of money.
23:51You've got to buy a barber's chair.
23:52Do you agree with it?
23:53Like, barber's chairs have gone off a little bit.
23:55Having said that, if you're after one,
23:57that's probably the best you'll get.
23:59Yeah.
23:59Yeah.
23:59Do you know, I bought one of these five years ago
24:02and I've still got it.
24:04I can concur with that, because I also have as well.
24:06But mine's no way near as good as that, so.
24:08The thing is, there's loads and loads of traditional barber shops
24:13that's decorated them in traditional barber's chairs like that.
24:18So, in reality, there should be a huge market for it.
24:20Yeah.
24:21But it's tricky.
24:21I mean, I think with it being velvet, though,
24:23would it not work in a barber's?
24:24You'd have to recover that in vinyl.
24:26You can't sell it in green velvet.
24:27No.
24:27I mean, the colour is very, very in at the moment, though.
24:31Yes, it's like green velvet.
24:33The green is very, very...
24:34The colour suits my living room.
24:36It's that nice green I've got.
24:37There you go.
24:38You can watch it.
24:39You know, everything that we've been bidding on
24:41is all for your house.
24:42What the hell are we going to sell?
24:45With a price tag of £500 to £800,
24:48Ruth will want more than a trim for her barber's chair.
24:51I just think it's a shame they never invited me to the party.
24:55I'll start it off at £50.
24:57You're joking.
25:00Hold on, hold on.
25:01£150.
25:02£200.
25:04£250.
25:05£255.
25:06£260.
25:07It's beautiful.
25:08Thank you, I agree.
25:09But I'm out.
25:10I am actually going to be out.
25:12If it was orange and plastic from the 70s, I probably would,
25:15but it's a bit too early for me.
25:16£270.
25:18£300.
25:19£310.
25:20Ho, ho, ho, ho.
25:21Whoa, whoa, whoa.
25:21Whoa, ho, ho, ho, ho.
25:23I can see a lot of...
25:26Lads, shut up.
25:28£320.
25:33At £320, I think I am...
25:35I am out.
25:37We are out.
25:38We are out.
25:39So we have £320 on the table.
25:42£325.
25:42£325.
25:43Oh!
25:44What are you doing?
25:46Seriously?
25:47Seriously, you're not going to be another pound on this one.
25:51You're going to go one more, JB?
25:52Do it, JB.
25:53JB, don't do it.
25:54You're causing...
25:54JB, do it.
25:56Do it.
25:57I'm going to say I'm out.
25:58Oh!
25:59I'm going to be on JB's.
25:59Yes.
26:01Right, Ruth, they're all out.
26:03£325.
26:04Do you accept?
26:04I don't think I do, no.
26:05Oh!
26:06Oh!
26:08So, Ruth, what would be your absolute bottom line to leave it here today?
26:11I think £500.
26:12I'm so sorry we weren't able to get you a deal here today, Ruth, in the bidding room.
26:16I get the feeling your dad might be quite pleased about that.
26:19I bet he will be, actually.
26:21Back in the front room.
26:22The party room's back in business.
26:24We'd all have to come round for a party, though.
26:25Welcome any time.
26:26Oh, well, it's been lovely having you here.
26:29Thanks for having me.
26:29Fantastic.
26:30It's been fantastic.
26:30Thank you very much.
26:30Thank you.
26:31Cheers.
26:31Thank you.
26:36The chair's coming home with me.
26:38And it will sit with the jukebox again until we find it a new home.
26:43Lads, you missed out there.
26:44Your beards do need a good trim, especially yours, Shakaan.
26:46I didn't miss out.
26:48I didn't miss out.
26:49Jay looks gutted.
26:50I think he was saved.
26:52I'm not going to hear the end of it.
26:53He's always going to remind me.
26:54Do you remember that time I saved it?
26:56Next in the bidding room is Stephen, with a collection of relics from a bygone era.
27:05So today I have brought with me some collector's items that could be quite possibly over 100 years old,
27:12with wealth well used and functional at the time, and a wee slice of history.
27:20Hello.
27:21Hello, Stephen.
27:22Welcome to the bidding room.
27:23Very nice to meet you.
27:24Let's see you.
27:25All things cigar.
27:26We own a family tobacconist, which has been in my wife's family since 1957.
27:32These come from the shop, I take you?
27:34Yes, they do.
27:35They've been collected over the years, mainly by my father-in-law, and they've been given to us when we've taken over the shop.
27:41Very interesting.
27:42The big wooden rectangular pieces, they're actually Dutch cigar presses.
27:48Holland was the biggest producer of cigars in the 1800s in the world.
27:53You're right, Dutch, because this one is actually stamped on the back.
27:56Right.
27:56Dating late 19th century.
27:58What fascinates me is the box.
28:00This probably dates, what, early 1900s?
28:03It's what we call a dual top.
28:05Mm-hm.
28:05German manufacturer.
28:06We've got the DRGM mark underneath, and that slid out for you to get your little waste materials out.
28:13But what would you have put in that, then?
28:16So, that would be the head of the cigar.
28:18Is it true that the guys and the girls' rolling cigars would have stories read to them?
28:24Yes, that's absolutely true.
28:26They have one person on a tannoy reading a story like Roman Juliet.
28:31The Count of Monte Cristo.
28:33Exactly.
28:33And then they would read that on the tannoy, and they just work away, you know?
28:37You know these two chaps here?
28:38Yeah.
28:39What do you think about them?
28:40They're supposed to be tobacco pickers.
28:44It's when my father-in-law went to Cuba, and he's picked this up along the way.
28:48It's a souvenir.
28:49I can see it in the street somewhere, in the street market, yeah.
28:52Fantastic.
28:52Really great.
28:53OK, collectible.
28:55Yeah, but of course we wouldn't recommend taking up the habit of smoking.
29:00But there are still very strong collectors for this kind of item.
29:04How much do you think the collection will fetch?
29:07So, we've got a good span of eras.
29:09We've got late 19th century here.
29:11We've got early 20th century.
29:14And then sort of mid-century as well.
29:16So, Stephen, I reckon as a whole collection, I'm going to give you an estimate of 500 plus.
29:25Yep.
29:26Sounds right.
29:27Yeah, it sounds right enough.
29:28Yep.
29:30Fantastic.
29:31Well, thank you so much for bringing this in.
29:32Thank you very much.
29:33I appreciate it.
29:33Cheers.
29:34All the best.
29:34Bye-bye.
29:35Thank you.
29:40Simon valued the whole collection between £400 and £500, and I think I would be happy to receive that.
29:48Hi there.
29:51Welcome to the bidding room.
29:52Thank you.
29:53What's your name, sir?
29:54And where did you come from?
29:55I'm Stephen, and I'm from Edinburgh.
29:57We can't work out what that is, so if you could do the honours.
30:00Oh!
30:01So we've got a collection of cigar-related items.
30:04Oh, look at those.
30:05What's the little paper mache figurine there?
30:08I don't know.
30:08They're just like two guys with hats.
30:10Yeah.
30:10No, these are Cuban farmers who will probably work in a tobacco field.
30:15It does say at the bottom, it does say Cuban Tobacco Pickers.
30:19We do collect stuff like this.
30:21Yep.
30:21Although I do have a few of them.
30:25Nowadays, people use these as, you know, decorative, and I've even seen some of them being framed up and on the wall.
30:31Wow.
30:31But this, this is pretty good.
30:33I've not really seen one like this.
30:36You just leave it on the table, and you put your cigar on it, and it just cuts it.
30:39And the models as well, they're really nice.
30:42Again, decorative, the model, yeah.
30:44Yep.
30:44There's a market, and they're collectible, but at the end of the day, you know, smoking's bad for you.
30:49It's kind of gone out of fashion in the last couple of decades.
30:52They would make really, really good pen trays.
30:55Or you could use them for paintbrushes, pencils, crayons, magic markers, you know, that kind of thing.
31:00It would really fit into some London interiors to kind of like repurpose its actual use rather than try and use it for what it was made for.
31:10Stephen, how old did Simon say they were?
31:12I think we agreed on early 1900s.
31:15That is lovely, isn't it?
31:16Yeah.
31:16I must admit, there is a huge collector's market for anything tobacco related, whether it's tobacconic or whether it's for actual cigars.
31:23But this particular piece, out of all of them, this one I've never seen.
31:27It's quite an interesting little piece.
31:28I've never seen it either.
31:29This is kind of our bag, but we're keeping our poker faces.
31:33You've not kept your poker faces very well, lads.
31:35In fact, you are rubbish.
31:39Absolutely rubbish.
31:40It's good we don't play poker.
31:42Yeah, no gambler.
31:43Right, so should we start?
31:44Go for it.
31:45The tobacco collection was valued at £500 plus, but will the dealers dig deep enough to meet Stephen's price?
31:55So I'm going to put 25 quid down.
31:58I'll go 50 quid.
32:0055.
32:01And is this for the whole collection?
32:02The whole collection.
32:04The shade.
32:05I know.
32:06I guess I'm out at that point.
32:08Sorry, Stephen.
32:09OK, thank you.
32:10Again, I don't really know too much about him, but I'll give him a go.
32:12£60, please.
32:14Oh.
32:1565.
32:1770.
32:18Getting more there.
32:20100.
32:21I'm just after the cutter.
32:23I'm after the cutter.
32:25The cutter's worth twice that in itself.
32:27110.
32:28Because they're related to tobacco, I'm going to be out.
32:31I understand.
32:32I understand.
32:34120.
32:35150.
32:37Anything higher on 150?
32:38No, I'm going to say I'm out at that, Stephen, but thank you.
32:42OK.
32:44At 150, I think we'll...
32:46That's where we are.
32:47Where we are.
32:47Yeah, you know what, I give me 170 for the lot.
32:50I want to make a bit of profit on him.
32:52I'd like to stick at 150.
32:54OK.
32:55Well, you've got to be in it to win it, and I will take 150 for him.
32:59Yay!
32:59Oh, great.
33:01Well done.
33:05Can we ask what does Simon value at?
33:07He reckoned we'd get £500.
33:09Really?
33:10Yeah.
33:10Yeah, yeah.
33:12Melissa ended up going for the sale, and I think she got a bargain.
33:17So with the £150, we will reinvest it in our new business venture,
33:21which is a coffee store.
33:23Well, Stephen, I am extremely happy with my bag today.
33:26And thank you for bringing them in and telling us the history.
33:29It's been great.
33:30I'm glad you're happy, and thank you for having me.
33:32Thank you so much.
33:32It's been a pleasure to see you.
33:34Thanks very much.
33:35You too.
33:35Do you know, I really like them.
33:42I can't wait to just fill them up, you know, with paintbrushes and belt tips.
33:46Do you know what you can do?
33:47You know the cigar cutter?
33:48You can cut the ends of your crayons with them.
33:50Oh, I can sharpen things.
33:51Yeah.
33:52Oh, my goodness.
33:54That's amazing.
33:54Pencils, everything.
34:02Last into the bidding room are Abigail and Jessica,
34:05with a stylish, practical piece that's bound to turn heads.
34:09So today we've brought something that's quite big, functional.
34:13It's teak, and you could find it in a bedroom.
34:15You know, it's funny, because it looks as though it was on the floor,
34:24and then they built something to pop it on top of.
34:27The feet look as though it's just gone,
34:29right, we'll just put it on there.
34:30Boom.
34:32Hello, you two.
34:33Hi.
34:34Welcome to the bidding room.
34:35This is a nice piece of furniture.
34:37Thank you.
34:37You probably know all about it.
34:39I wish we did.
34:41OK.
34:42First of all, where did you find it?
34:43We found it online.
34:45Someone was giving it away.
34:47Really?
34:47Yeah.
34:48We liked the style of it,
34:49but we didn't know too much, really, about the designer.
34:53Yes, what a great, great find.
34:55It's just an area of furniture that everybody wants at the minute.
34:59It's so commercial.
35:00We get all the information, don't we, when we open the top drawer.
35:04We've got a little stamp in there for G-Plan,
35:07but not just G-Plan, G-Plan Danish Design.
35:10And this was a range that started in 62, somewhere around there.
35:15And this is a Covard Larson one, and he was one of the top guys.
35:19I love the fact when you look at it from the front to start with,
35:21you think three drawer.
35:23Of course, they're all split, aren't they?
35:25Yeah.
35:25So it is, in fact, a six-drawer chest, and I think that's quite clever.
35:29How clever is that?
35:30I think it's brilliant.
35:32Keeps things simple and cluttered.
35:35And then, of course, we've got, as Nigel said, quite a short, short leg,
35:40but that's what we expect.
35:42This bit of a sweep on the edge there is typical of this range.
35:46Did you do any sort of polishing up to it, or was that how it was?
35:50There were a few ring marks and things like that on them when we picked them up,
35:52so we just lightly sanded it back and then just re-oiled it.
35:55The only bit I'm not happy with, ladies, is the backboard.
35:59I think that's probably a replacement.
36:01Yeah.
36:01But as with a lot of these, they did tend to get woodworm affected, you know.
36:06But the front, the bit you see, the important bit, is really, really nice.
36:12So we know they're very collectible.
36:13They are.
36:13And JB immediately came to mind.
36:16Yes, no, absolutely.
36:17Moses is good too, isn't he?
36:19Yes.
36:19On this sort of thing.
36:20They're not going to lose on this, dealers.
36:22No, no.
36:23You're in for zero.
36:25Yeah.
36:26So anything is going to be good news, isn't it?
36:27Yeah, definitely.
36:28It's like hitting the jackpot.
36:29Right.
36:30Whatever it makes, what will you do with the money?
36:32And let me give you some advice.
36:34Get into the business, because you seem to be very good at it.
36:37Well, yeah.
36:38I mean, we are already in the business.
36:40Are you?
36:40We upcycle and refurbish furniture, so...
36:44Oh, right.
36:45Great.
36:45So you know how to do all this?
36:47Yeah.
36:47Yeah.
36:48OK, it's time to ask that question.
36:50How much do you think it's worth?
36:52It's bang on commercial at the minute,
36:54so you shouldn't have any problem getting plenty of bids next door.
36:59I think in an auction room it's going to be anywhere between $400 and $600,
37:05that kind of bracket.
37:06Yeah, lovely.
37:07I don't think you'll have to say much next door, to be honest.
37:10Yeah, just push on the commercial aspect.
37:13Yeah.
37:13That's all you need to do.
37:14Perfect, thank you.
37:16You're in for a treat.
37:17Thank you very much.
37:18Thanks for coming.
37:19Thank you for having us.
37:20Nice to meet you, Ben.
37:21Thank you.
37:21Thank you.
37:22Thank you.
37:22Bye.
37:24Look at this, I love this.
37:26I mean...
37:26That's so clever.
37:27Yeah.
37:28Well made.
37:28Yeah, yeah.
37:29I know it's in a factory and everything.
37:30Yes, yeah, yeah.
37:31But they had pride in doing it, didn't they?
37:33They did.
37:34Simon valued the Curford Larson draws between £400 and £600.
37:41We're really happy with that because it's more than we'd originally thought.
37:45We're feeling quite excited about it, aren't we?
37:46Yeah, a little bit nervous, but yeah.
37:48Quite excited.
37:49Thank you.
37:53Hello.
37:53Hello.
37:54Hi.
37:55Welcome to the biddy room.
37:56Thank you.
37:56Thank you.
37:57What's your names?
37:59I'm Jess.
37:59I'm Abby.
38:00Hi.
38:00Hi, Jess.
38:01Hi.
38:02Hi.
38:03Who's going to do the honors?
38:04Oh, you weren't wrong, Moses.
38:06It's a nice chest of drawers.
38:07Nice.
38:08It's a nice chest of drawers.
38:09Nice.
38:10That's a nice G-plan chest of drawers.
38:12Is it the Curford Larson?
38:13It is.
38:14It's the Curford Larson.
38:15With the generous drawers.
38:16So good.
38:17It's that man.
38:18With the generous drawers.
38:20I wonder if I can have a quick look.
38:22Absolutely.
38:23Look at him go.
38:24That's the quickest I've seen Moses move in 17.
38:26Shuffling off.
38:27I've just been woken up.
38:30It's by G-plan, but it was commissioned.
38:35They commissioned a designer called Kofan Larsen,
38:37who did a collection of different types of styles.
38:42This is particularly a good one because of the generous size of the drawers
38:46and a very, very stylish front.
38:49This one is in particularly reasonable condition.
38:53Just a little bit of wear at the bottom runners.
38:55And it's a good example of mid-century modern design.
39:00So why are you selling it?
39:02We just found it online and someone was about to throw it in the tip.
39:06So we rescued it.
39:08Well done.
39:08And it's just been sat in our workshop, so...
39:10Have you guys done any work to that?
39:12Yeah.
39:13Yeah, I love it.
39:13It had a few ring marks and a few scratches when we picked it up.
39:17I don't think it had much love for a while, so...
39:19Have you done anything to the front?
39:20It's just been re-iiled.
39:21Re-iiled.
39:22So did Simon tell you anything else about the chest?
39:24He said that the back might have been replaced at one point,
39:27but that wasn't done by us.
39:29You've done well saving it out of a skip, don't you?
39:31That's amazing if you got it out of a skip.
39:32And did you know what it was when you picked it up
39:34or did you just pick it up because you thought it was attractive?
39:37I mean, mid-century, we know it's quite good anyway,
39:40but, yeah, when we picked it up, we did a little bit of research
39:42and we're really glad we saved it up.
39:45You used to lose your lens on the old internet.
39:47Yeah.
39:48Well, do you know something?
39:49I'm not a furniture type of person and I know nothing,
39:53so I'm kind of just listening to everybody with this
39:55because I'm hoping that you're going to just lead me.
39:58These are popular for so many reasons.
40:00Like, new-build houses and flats and stuff in London,
40:03that is the perfect chest because your bigger chest are drawers,
40:05you're not going to fit it up the stairs and such.
40:07So there is a huge market for it,
40:08especially this sort of range as well, the Danish-inspired stuff.
40:12It's a really nice compact piece of furniture.
40:15It wouldn't look out of place in a living room or a hallway.
40:17I think it's got a really nice sort of broad range of versatility with it.
40:22Can imagine a nice London flat.
40:24Is that in the...
40:25Nice record player on top.
40:26In North London, somewhere nice.
40:28See, I see it in more of a Manchester house with, like, a nice plant on top.
40:32Manchester?
40:33Going back to South London, you know it often.
40:35You lot will be rubbish at poker.
40:39Like, your poker babies have gone.
40:43Abigail and Jessica have a long way to go
40:45to meet Simon's £400 to £600 valuation for those drawers.
40:49Actually, they look rather smart in my dressing room.
40:53I'll start the bidding at £50.
40:56£70.
40:58£100.
40:58£150.
41:01£160.
41:02£200.
41:03I'm out of the bidding, but I'm sure you will get a very good price.
41:08£220.
41:08£230.
41:09£250.
41:11£255.
41:12£260.
41:14£275.
41:15£300.
41:16Ouch.
41:17£3 or £5.
41:18£310.
41:21That's gone too high for me for that one.
41:24£315.
41:25£320.
41:26£325.
41:26I'm going to say I'm out at that point,
41:32but thank you for bringing it in.
41:33Yeah.
41:34I think it's worth more than that.
41:36£330.
41:37£335.
41:38Stop.
41:39Stop.
41:41You should give it to me at £350.
41:43I think these two are going to be out,
41:46cos it's far too much.
41:48It's hit my...
41:49It's hit my limit.
41:51Good, good.
41:52But I'm going to do one more cheeky...
41:53We are going to do one more cheeky one.
41:55Are you sure you don't want to talk about it?
41:57No, we don't want to talk about it.
41:59We're telepathic now on this.
42:03£355.
42:07I'm out.
42:09I've paid £5 more than I wanted to pay for that.
42:12That was my top.
42:13£350 was my top, but...
42:14£355.
42:16Snatches, Adolf.
42:17Do you accept?
42:18Yeah.
42:19Go ahead, go ahead.
42:20And what did Simon value it at?
42:25Between £400 and £600.
42:26Well done.
42:27Whoa.
42:27Whoa.
42:29We're absolutely over the moon.
42:30We picked it up for nothing.
42:32And we're going home with £355 worth of brunches.
42:37Here's your tosh.
42:38Thank you.
42:39Thank you very much.
42:40It's been a pleasure.
42:41Thank you.
42:41Yeah, we're happy we brought it up.
42:47Really glad we came on the show, yeah.
42:48It's been a fun day.
42:49Well, that was interesting, wasn't it?
42:51We have South London on the right here versus North London on the left.
42:56South London saw sense.
42:58There is only one part of London, Moses.
43:01North London.
43:02North London forever.
43:04Well, that was exciting.
43:10Join us again for another great day on The Bidding Room.
