00:30Trader in the Curious, Ian.
00:32Pizza!
00:33Eclectic dealer, Jo.
00:35I did not peak, honestly.
00:38Belgian art lover, George.
00:40Jackie, buyer of mid-century.
00:43You're going to be banged up, all right.
00:45And vintage collector, JB.
00:48And they actually all ride together. It's the most bizarre thing you'll ever see.
00:51First, auctioneer Simon will value the items to help nail the best sale.
00:56Could be a, you know, life-changing amount of money.
00:59So, how will today's lot do?
01:01Right, I'm just going to back off slightly.
01:04My dear wife didn't think it went with our decor, so...
01:08It went straight into the garage?
01:09It went to the garage.
01:10Oh, there you go.
01:11When they enter the bidding room...
01:14I'll do the poll, David.
01:17And out.
01:18Oh, no.
01:19I give in.
01:22A hundred pounds.
01:24No time to waste.
01:25It's full steam ahead.
01:26First into the bidding room is Ross, also known as the Mighty Lucha, for reasons which will become obvious.
01:46My item is something that every professional wrestler wants to achieve, but not everybody gets.
01:53It's something you wear, something you hold, and something you can lose.
01:58What do you think?
02:02I don't tell you.
02:06Whoa.
02:08Lucha, thank you so much for coming.
02:09How's it doing, guys?
02:10Nice to see you.
02:12Nice to see you.
02:12Why are you wearing this little outfit out of interest?
02:15I'm a professional wrestler, and I have been for ten years now.
02:19Right.
02:20And this is a particular sort of wrestling, or...?
02:22The name Lucha is actually short for Luchador, which is the Mexican style of wrestling, so that's why I'm the masked wrestler.
02:29Right.
02:29I'm just going to back off slightly.
02:32Lucha, just explain what this is, could you?
02:35So this is one of the championships that I won just over two years ago.
02:38One of the most annoying things about being a wrestler is when you win a belt and they say, right, you can take it home with you.
02:45And I go home, and my wife's like, oh, where are you going to put that?
02:49But this one in particular, the company stopped working under that name, which basically put that belt out of commission.
02:58Right.
02:58So your wife would be delighted when you get rid of it.
03:00Oh, she would be delighted with that one, because that's the one she always moans about.
03:03She always says, that big red one.
03:05Well, that's great.
03:05We'll help you do that.
03:07It's very similar, isn't it, to a weightlifter's belt in some ways.
03:10It's the really thick-stitched leather.
03:14This is a, was it steel or like a white metal, isn't it?
03:18I'm not sure as well.
03:19Yeah.
03:19And I love these with the referee's arm there, obviously proclaiming the winner of the bout.
03:25It has to be collectible.
03:27Yes.
03:28Obviously, it's going to appeal to sporting collectors in general, not just wrestling collectors.
03:33It will be a unique one.
03:35And a lot of the belts I see are sort of replicas of.
03:39Yeah.
03:40Whereas this isn't a replica, is it?
03:41That's the actual...
03:42I think that's the thing that makes this one most unique, is the fact that this is an actual in-ring used title.
03:48It's not a replica.
03:50This is the actual belt.
03:51The most important question is, what figure should I be looking at for the bidders to be beaten to submission?
03:58You're going to sell it next door.
04:00It's all about you.
04:01So go with the fact that it's been held aloft in the ring.
04:05It's not a replica.
04:06It's a complete one-off.
04:07Just as a sporting piece of, a piece of sporting memorabilia, I mean, it's got to be worth 50 to 100 quid.
04:16You know.
04:16Yeah.
04:17But you will sell it.
04:1850 be all right, or 70 be all right?
04:20I'd be shooting near 100.
04:21I'd threaten them.
04:23Yeah.
04:25Thank you so much.
04:26No problem.
04:27And very best of luck.
04:27Thanks, guys.
04:28Thank you.
04:28Bye now.
04:29Bye now.
04:30Yes.
04:31It's quite a snug fit, don't you think?
04:33Yeah.
04:34Yeah.
04:37That belt went really well.
04:39It was really positive.
04:40Simon valued the belt at between 50 to 100 pounds.
04:43And, yeah, I'm looking forward to going in and meeting the bidders.
04:47Oh, my God.
04:50Oh, my God.
04:51Hey.
04:52Hello.
04:53Hello.
04:55Oh, my word.
04:56Hello, guys.
04:57How you doing?
04:57Welcome to the bidding room.
04:59How you doing?
05:00And just who am I welcoming?
05:03I go by the high-flying, death-defying, mass sensation, Lucha DS.
05:07And I am a British professional wrestler.
05:09Oh, my God.
05:10Oh, my God.
05:11Wow.
05:12Welcome to the bidding room.
05:13I'm sure you're going to be able to wrestle off the cloth to reveal what you've brought for us, please.
05:19Yeah.
05:21Whoa.
05:21Oh.
05:23Tell us more.
05:25Yeah.
05:25So, this item here is one of the UK's wrestling belts that I've won.
05:31Unfortunately, the company that I won it for no longer runs under the name that's on the belt, so the belt can't be used anymore.
05:38How did you get into wrestling?
05:40The real story is, my wife became pregnant at the time.
05:44I said, when my wee boy grows up, I want me to be whatever he wants to be.
05:48And my wife said to me, what did you want to be?
05:50And I said, I only ever wanted to do one thing when I was little, and it was be a professional wrestler.
05:54Oh, wow.
05:55And she said, why did you never do it?
05:57So, from that day, I looked into it, and that was nearly 11 years ago.
06:01I've been a professional for 10 years.
06:03Amazing.
06:04That is fun.
06:04And you're professional.
06:06Yes.
06:06Can I ask, when you won that belt?
06:08Yes.
06:08Who were you fighting against?
06:10I was fighting a guy called the Inhuman Zero, who's a kind of monster character.
06:15Ah, hello there.
06:17I just wondered if you'd met my best friend, Lucha.
06:22We've known each other for, oh, so long.
06:26What do you think of that belt?
06:27It's fantastic.
06:28It's a one-off, only one in the world.
06:31There's only one in the world?
06:32Yeah.
06:32This belt, what makes this belt even more unique is this belt has never been lost.
06:37And because I was the first person to win it and hold it, and I never ever lost it before
06:43the company folded, so nobody's ever lost this title, so only a winner's ever held it.
06:48If you're selling it, it's such an unbelievable belt.
06:49Because his wife can't stand it.
06:53Can I ask, every wrestler seems to have, like, a signature move as well.
06:57Yeah.
06:57What's your signature move?
06:59I'm going to leave now.
07:00No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
07:03I'm not that stupid.
07:05Ian's the guy you want to eat.
07:07Thanks, Lucha.
07:08Good luck, Lucha.
07:08Thank you, Lucha.
07:09I have one move that I do.
07:10Thank you, Nigel.
07:12I'm going to have a quick look.
07:13I've never held a genuine wrestling belt.
07:15You used to get the fake ones that you had as a kid, like the plastic, rubbishy ones, but...
07:18Because you're not the champion.
07:20God, it's heavy.
07:21Yeah, sure, it's heavy.
07:21I wasn't expecting it to be that heavy.
07:23So, it's all stitched leather.
07:25Really well made.
07:26Really well made.
07:28It's about three kilograms, that is.
07:30Feel that.
07:32Oh, my God.
07:34But that has got such a look, isn't it?
07:35Yeah.
07:36Ian, I could see you wearing that.
07:40May I?
07:40Yeah, yeah.
07:41Could you do me up, please, Jamie?
07:44Can I ask a question?
07:45Now Ian's got this belt on, would you mind showing him just a couple of moves?
07:50It's all a surprise to me, I don't think.
07:51I don't normally do this sort of thing.
07:54While we all sit back and watch.
07:57Be gentle with me.
07:59How about I show you this, all right?
08:00So, if I take you here.
08:01Yeah.
08:04And then, if I wanted to, I'd just pop you onto that table.
08:08I love it.
08:08I'll let you off.
08:10Now, do you want me to do that to you?
08:13No, thanks.
08:14OK.
08:16Move should only be done by trained professionals.
08:20It's time to get bidding.
08:21In your corners.
08:22Ding, ding!
08:23The dealers are grappling with the belt, which was valued at £50 to £100.
08:29But can Lucha pin them down to clinch a championship bid?
08:34I'll kick it off with 30.
08:3625.
08:37£40.
08:38£45.
08:41£50.
08:43£55.
08:45£60.
08:46Thank you so much for bringing it in, but I'm out.
08:51No problem.
08:51So, it's a triple threat to the end.
09:05£75.
09:07£80.
09:08Well, £85.
09:09I'm going to bow out, but thank you so much for probably the best experience of my life.
09:17You're welcome.
09:22I'm going to say that I'm out.
09:23Well, thank you.
09:24It's been brilliant.
09:26No problem.
09:26We have a champion.
09:29So, £85.
09:30Do we have a deal?
09:34We have a deal.
09:35Oh, yeah!
09:36Yes!
09:40Wait a second.
09:42Can I see you at least with the belt?
09:44Oh, yeah.
09:44Oh, come on.
09:45So, we wore it on both shoulders then?
09:47Like this?
09:47Oh.
09:50So, it's such a good souvenir.
09:52Thank you very much.
09:52So proud.
09:53Thank you very much.
09:54Cheers.
09:54Brilliant.
09:56I tried a lot of fun in the bedroom.
09:57I made a sale to George for £85.
10:00So, everyone's over now.
10:02Now that we have a deal, you could maybe do me a favour to remove one of my opposite bidders,
10:09which is Ian, and bring him home.
10:11No problem.
10:12Thank you very much.
10:15What did you get?
10:16Yes!
10:21Bye, Ian!
10:23Next in is John, with a large item that I'm steering well clear on.
10:37The item brought today resembles two old coins, one large and one small.
10:42It's extremely dangerous, and it's a form of transport that can get you from A to B.
10:46No amount of money, love or affection, would make me get onto this and a bicycle away.
10:56No, I'm in total agreement.
10:57Yeah.
10:59Hello, John.
11:00Hello.
11:01Welcome to the bidding room.
11:02Thank you.
11:02I think I know what this is.
11:06Why have you got it?
11:07It's an item I purchased with the aim of selling on.
11:11Do you mind my asking what you paid?
11:12It come with a group of items.
11:13It's about £400, I paid for the item.
11:17You didn't cycle here on it, did you?
11:19No, no, it's far too dangerous for me, though.
11:21Yes.
11:22Great.
11:22Well, Simon's here.
11:23He's our expert.
11:24Over to you.
11:25Not that I've ever been on one, John.
11:27Like yourself, it's a bit too daunting, I think.
11:31Always known as penny farthings, but they were also called ordinary bikes, which is quite
11:35strange because there's nothing ordinary about it at all, is there?
11:38No.
11:38When you think that they were sort of invented in the 19th century, sort of 1860s, that kind
11:42of date, you can see the cartwheel, can't you?
11:46All cast iron.
11:48Yeah.
11:48What's slightly unusual about this one, John, is the lack of spokes.
11:53They're usually a lot of spokes on the front wheel.
11:55Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
11:57Well, I think it, to me, it tells me that perhaps the front wheel is a lot earlier in
12:02the production, that more spokes came in the late as the, you know, the model developed
12:07kind of thing.
12:08I love the leather saddle.
12:09That could even be the original one, actually.
12:12Yep.
12:13Lucas carbide lamp on the top there for lighting your way at night.
12:18And of course, they didn't have brakes, Nigel, did they?
12:20So to slow down, you would try and reverse pedal kind of thing, which was even more dangerous,
12:26really.
12:27Obviously, penny farthing, penny, and farthing, that's how the term came about.
12:33Looking at it going next door, I'm going to point out a few issues, which I think the
12:38dealers will pick up on.
12:39Obviously, the pedals are later.
12:42Yep.
12:42Originally, those would have been wooden pedals.
12:44Also, the rear fork, Nigel, looks, that could be a more modern.
12:49Oh, it does look a bit modern.
12:50More modern piece, doesn't it?
12:51That bit there.
12:52Yeah.
12:52But it's all about the overall feel of it, isn't it, as a display piece.
12:56They do turn up a lot as auction.
12:58They're not rare things in that respect.
13:00But collectible, obviously.
13:01Absolutely.
13:01Yeah.
13:01Absolutely.
13:02Never fails.
13:03No.
13:04No.
13:05I'd like to know what sort of value you think it is.
13:11Surprisingly, they make good figures at auction.
13:14You say you bought it with other items for round about 400 quid.
13:18I think that's pretty much a steal, actually.
13:21I think a safe auction estimate would be...
13:26..7 to 900.
13:29You might hit the four figures, but high hundreds.
13:33How does that grab you?
13:34Yeah, high hundreds would sound perfect.
13:37John, thank you so much for bringing this in.
13:39I wish you the very best of luck.
13:40Thank you.
13:41That's great.
13:41Cheers.
13:42See you now.
13:44You're right.
13:45There's not many spokes on it.
13:46No.
13:47No.
13:52Yeah, I thought the evaluation went well.
13:54Simon valued the penny barthing at between £700 and £900 at auction.
13:58I'm quite happy with that.
14:04Hello.
14:04Hello.
14:05Hello.
14:06Hi there.
14:06How are you doing?
14:07Wonderful.
14:08I'm John from Wales.
14:08Oh, that's great.
14:11Hello, John from Wales.
14:12Welcome to the bidding room, mate.
14:14Cheers.
14:14Thank you very much.
14:15What on earth is underneath that green cloth you're going to have to show us?
14:18It's your new work vehicle.
14:21Oh, wow.
14:23Oh, look at that.
14:24It's quite terrifying, isn't it?
14:26It is very.
14:26They do actually do penny-farden rallies, though.
14:30Have you seen that?
14:30No.
14:31They're serious enthusiasts and they actually all ride together.
14:34It's the most bizarre thing you'll ever see.
14:36Yeah.
14:37Can I get up and have a look?
14:38Yeah, come and have a closer look.
14:39Is it all original, John?
14:41No, pedals aren't.
14:42I would have think it's had a few repairs.
14:45Yeah.
14:45So, I mean, look, are they around, what, 1870, 1880, something like that?
14:51Yeah.
14:51Yeah, 1880.
14:52All right, I'm going to have to have a closer look at this.
14:55Jackie, you're not, are you?
14:57No, not today, I don't think.
15:00But, yes, it's beautifully made, isn't it?
15:03I mean, it's, it's like a simple design, isn't it?
15:05Yeah.
15:06Ian, I think you'd look rather dapper on this, in your waistcoat.
15:10You wear your top hats as well, still, do you?
15:11I don't have to, grow your own.
15:13And your moustache.
15:14Yeah.
15:14I could give you a leg up or put two, you know when BMXers
15:17used to have the two pegs at the back?
15:19Yeah, yeah.
15:20And I'll just be riding, riding backy like that.
15:23There is an easier option, though.
15:24I'd just park it next to a big high wall.
15:26Yeah.
15:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:29So did Simon say anything else about the bike?
15:31He said he thinks the front wheel is original
15:34because of the lack of spokes.
15:36Right, before we go full cycle...
15:38No.
15:39Aww.
15:40We'd better start bidding.
15:43The penny farthing was valued at £700 to £900 by Simon.
15:47But can John drive the dealers up to a really good price?
15:52If not, I might have to buy this to get to my pantos.
15:55I'm going to throw £50 out here.
15:58£60.
15:59I'll go £70.
16:01£75.
16:02£80.
16:03£85.
16:04£90.
16:05£95.
16:07£110.
16:10£120.
16:11£130.
16:14JB's quiet.
16:15On the fence, Ian.
16:16Do you want to join me?
16:17You've been sat on my fence a lot lately.
16:20£140.
16:21You know, I'm special in marble sculptures
16:25and that's not the best way to deliver them to my clients.
16:28So, for that reason, I'm out.
16:34£150.
16:35John, I'm going to have to say that I'm out.
16:38OK.
16:38Thank you very much for bringing it in.
16:39OK.
16:40£160.
16:41I'll go for £170.
16:44£175.
16:47£180.
16:49£200.
16:51£220.
16:53£230.
16:54£250.
16:56£260.
16:58£270.
17:00£280.
17:01We're currently still a long way away from Simon's valuation.
17:05I'm sure.
17:05£300.
17:07£320.
17:08£350.
17:11£360.
17:13£380.
17:14No, I'm going to say I'm out.
17:16OK.
17:16Thank you.
17:17I'd be looking for, realistically,
17:20the benchmark would be around £800.
17:22See, that's what I see at retail.
17:24OK.
17:24To be honest, for me.
17:26So, what's your best offers?
17:28I give £400.
17:29My best offer would be £450.
17:31That's where I'm at.
17:32Is there any improvement?
17:33I think your best bet might be with JB,
17:36so I am out.
17:37So, that's your final offer?
17:39Yeah.
17:40On this occasion, I think I'm going to have to decline.
17:42No, I fully appreciate it.
17:43Because I've had higher offers than that previously.
17:46So, you're going to ride it back home?
17:47Yes, definitely.
17:51There was a lot of interest around the penny farthing,
17:54but unfortunately, on this occasion,
17:55I didn't get the sale.
17:57It was a great experience.
17:58I really enjoyed it.
17:59I'm really sorry we couldn't get to where you wanted to.
18:01Yeah, no, it's absolutely fine.
18:02Thank you so much for coming in.
18:04It's been great to meet you and see the penny farthing as well.
18:06Yeah, that's great.
18:07Cheers.
18:07Thank you, John.
18:08Bye.
18:08Bye.
18:12Do you ever get the feeling, though,
18:14where you kind of regret not buying something?
18:16Yeah.
18:17Absolutely.
18:18Yeah.
18:19Kind of at that point now.
18:20Third in is Eileen, with a collection
18:31that will hopefully make the dealers dig deep.
18:35So, today, I brought in an item
18:37that is small but collectible.
18:41Children enjoy playing with it.
18:43I've enjoyed playing with it for a number of years.
18:45Funnily enough, I had exactly the same...
18:50Did you?
18:51Yeah.
18:51Yeah.
18:5360, 1961.
18:55Spot on, date-wise, yeah.
18:58Hello, Eileen.
18:58Hello.
18:59Nice to meet you.
19:00Thank you for bringing this in.
19:02You're welcome.
19:02It's made me very emotional,
19:03because I had exactly the same set.
19:06Did you?
19:06Yes.
19:07Oh.
19:08But do you know, see the rock pool?
19:09That would have a little mirror.
19:10It did, yes.
19:12Yes.
19:12Yeah.
19:13That's disappeared.
19:14Well, after 61 years, yes.
19:15Yes.
19:18So, you see, I know all about this.
19:21Right.
19:21Yeah.
19:22It started off little items,
19:24and it got built and built and built, yes.
19:26It's been well-loved.
19:28Yes.
19:29I think it's tremendous.
19:30Really tremendous.
19:31So, you had it, and, of course,
19:33you stopped playing with it after.
19:35Actually, Mum and Dad used it for a while,
19:38because it's handy for them as well,
19:40because when we moved to the next house,
19:43they sort of planned their garden out with this,
19:46using this.
19:47That's a clever idea, isn't it?
19:49Yeah.
19:49So, it's not just for children.
19:51No.
19:51I had animals, too, ducks and various other things.
19:54Oh, really?
19:55Yes, and fields with sheep and cows.
19:57I've still got those for some reason.
20:00But I love the planting tool
20:02and putting the different flowers in.
20:04It's fabulous.
20:04I had it myself, actually.
20:06Did you?
20:07Yeah, as a youngster.
20:08My grandmother used to have a toy shop way back when,
20:12and so she sold a lot of these in the shop.
20:14They're by Britons, as you know.
20:15Yes, yes.
20:16It's funny you mentioned the farm animals as well,
20:18because they're all the same chap.
20:19It was Roy Selwyn Smith.
20:21Oh.
20:21And he, if you remember the Britons' toy soldiers,
20:24he famously designed those as well.
20:27Oh, right. Yeah, yeah.
20:28Circa 1960s, as you well know.
20:30Yeah.
20:30And it ran for a little sort of 10 years or so, you know.
20:33But I love it.
20:34And actually, you know,
20:35you've kept it in really nice condition.
20:37Very nostalgic, it's made me feel.
20:39Now, are they collectible?
20:41They are, as we know.
20:42Toy market is ever popular, isn't it?
20:45It is.
20:45And it sort of reminds us of childhood, doesn't it?
20:48It certainly does.
20:49You've got the greenhouse and the shed.
20:52And the shed.
20:53And the shed, yes.
20:54The good old garden shed.
20:55Oh, great.
20:57Simon, how deep in their pockets are they going to have to dig?
21:03I think they will have to dig a bit, to be honest.
21:07It's, we've got, it's so busy and it's so visual
21:10that I think they'll fall in love with it immediately.
21:14I think next door you can confidently expect to see
21:1870 to 100, that kind of bracket.
21:22But if someone like Jo, she might want her grandchildren
21:28or something like that.
21:29So it may even do a little more.
21:32Are you happy with that?
21:34I would like slightly more.
21:36Yes.
21:36Well, I think you'll work hard.
21:38I'll try my best.
21:39Thank you so much for bringing it in.
21:41Thank you.
21:42Making it my day.
21:43Thank you very much.
21:44And very best of luck.
21:45Thank you.
21:46Bye-bye.
21:46Bye.
21:47Bye.
21:47I love it.
21:53I'm looking forward to going into the bidding room.
21:55It'll be nice to meet them all.
21:57Nigel did say it was very nostalgic for him.
22:01And it brought back a few memories for him.
22:04So that was nice.
22:08Hello.
22:08Hello.
22:09Hello.
22:10Hello.
22:11Hello.
22:11Welcome to the bidding room.
22:12Thank you.
22:13And what's your name?
22:14My name's Eileen.
22:15Eileen.
22:16Lovely to meet you.
22:17Nice to meet you.
22:18And where's this been living in your home?
22:20It's been living in a biscuit tin in my wardrobe.
22:24That's a shame, isn't it?
22:25It is, unfortunately, yes.
22:27Did it come as one piece or did you add to it sort of each birthday?
22:31No.
22:31No, you can start off basically with a lawn.
22:34Right.
22:35And then you build up a little bit at a time.
22:38And of course, when I got to birthdays or Christmases,
22:41I got pocket money and I was straight to the toy shop.
22:44Love that.
22:45Got a little bit more of an add to it.
22:47So, Eileen, are you still a keen gardener?
22:50Yes.
22:51That's fantastic.
22:53I am, but it doesn't look anything like that.
22:57I'm intrigued.
22:58I love this.
23:00Love it.
23:00Look at that.
23:02Could you mow the lawn while you're there?
23:03Yes, OK, right, where's the lawnmower?
23:07Oh, can I do a little roll?
23:09I'm going to do a little...
23:10The lawn needs...
23:11Rolling.
23:12It needs rolling.
23:13It hasn't been looked after, has it?
23:14No.
23:14Oh, you roll.
23:15You've got a little veg patch there, then.
23:18There's a little...
23:19So, there's a greenhouse.
23:21There's trellises.
23:23There's little raised beds.
23:25A patio.
23:26And you see, this is so indicative of the day,
23:28because this is crazy bathing.
23:30It is.
23:30What did Nigel think about this?
23:32Nigel said it was very nostalgic,
23:35and it took him back to his childhood years.
23:37I can't imagine.
23:39Right, come on, then.
23:40Let's get a roll on.
23:42Oh, dear.
23:44This charming teeny-weeny garden
23:47was valued at £70 to £100.
23:49But can it sprout a bidding war?
23:51I'm secretly hoping Mrs Havers
23:54buys me this for Christmas,
23:55and I really mean that.
23:58I'll kick it off with £10.
24:00I'm going to give £15.
24:02And I'll do £20.
24:03I'll do £25.
24:06I'll go £30.
24:07Well, £33.
24:09My ear drink...
24:10£33.
24:13I'll go £35.
24:14I'm going to be the first one to say that I'm out.
24:16I'm not sure what I'd do with it, but...
24:18Thank you for bringing it in.
24:19Thank you.
24:20Eileen, my fingers are not green.
24:23So on this occasion, I'm out.
24:24But thank you so much.
24:25Thank you.
24:26Well, I don't want to be the last one being out,
24:28so I'm out now.
24:33Well, I'm going to join you.
24:34I'm out.
24:35Like Ian, I'm not green-fingered.
24:39Well, you were left with me, Eileen.
24:42So my bid was at £35.
24:44No, I'm sorry.
24:48May I ask what would be your bottom figure?
24:52Well, considering I've seen them anything up to £400...
24:56Oh!
24:56..but not a lot bigger than the set I have.
24:59I think the top amount I'd be willing to pay would be £60.
25:04I'd like to rake a bit more in.
25:05You'd like to rake a little bit more?
25:07OK.
25:08£70 is really my top offer.
25:12Are we still way off?
25:13Yes.
25:14OK.
25:15Yes.
25:15I wouldn't go away with less than £100.
25:18I'd give in!
25:20£100!
25:21Ah, million won't.
25:23Go on.
25:24Yay!
25:24All the bidders were interested,
25:32but I think Jo fell in love with it
25:33and she bought it for £100.
25:36I'm quite happy with that.
25:38I'm delighted to be the proud owner of your garden.
25:41I think it's gorgeous.
25:43I'm going to have a little play with my grandsons
25:45before I decide what happens to it next,
25:48but rest assured, it will stay all as one.
25:51Thank you very much.
25:52Thanks, Eileen.
25:52Thank you.
25:59Right, does anybody want to come do some gardening with me?
26:02No.
26:03I'm busy.
26:12I really liked that penny farthing.
26:15Yeah.
26:16You know when you see something and you're like,
26:18I should have bought that.
26:19Buyers regret.
26:20What do you think I should do?
26:23Do you think I should give in there?
26:24Yes!
26:24Should I do it?
26:25Yes!
26:25I'm going to do it.
26:26I'm going to do it.
26:27I'm going to ring in.
26:27Do it!
26:27Do it!
26:27Do it!
26:27Do it!
26:28I'm going to ring in.
26:33Hello?
26:33Hello, it's Jackie from The Bidding Room.
26:37You know you bought that penny farthing in.
26:39Yes.
26:39Can I put a bidding of £500?
26:47Yes, I think I'll accept that.
26:49Oh, fantastic.
26:50Oh, lovely.
26:51Oh, thank you.
26:51I'm very excited.
26:53Thank you very much.
26:53Okay, see you later.
26:55Thank you.
26:55Bye.
26:56Okay, thanks, Guy.
26:56Bye-bye.
26:58Oh, my God!
27:00I'm an owner of a penny farbage!
27:08Next up is Richard,
27:10with a stand-up piece
27:11that should give the dealers
27:12some bright ideas.
27:15What I'm selling is something
27:16black, chrome, tall,
27:18and might light up your life.
27:20I like the bulb.
27:25They're great, those bulbs, aren't they?
27:26They are, yes.
27:27Yeah, really, really good.
27:30Hello, Richard.
27:30Welcome to The Bidding Room.
27:32Look what you've bought,
27:33a lovely lamp,
27:35Art Deco lamp.
27:36Where did you find it?
27:37I bought it in an auction.
27:39How long ago?
27:40About eight years ago.
27:41Right.
27:42And has it had a shade on it?
27:44It had a very naff cloth shade
27:46when I bought it.
27:48Yeah.
27:48So I actually prefer it
27:49with the lamp,
27:50but unfortunately,
27:51my dear wife didn't think
27:52it went with our decor, so...
27:54It went straight into the garage?
27:55It went to the garage.
27:56Oh, there you go.
27:57You don't really have to be an expert,
27:59do you, Nigel,
27:59to immediately think,
28:01Art Deco,
28:01this wonderful chrome finished column
28:04with just this so understated
28:06bit of scroll work, isn't it?
28:09It's not overly done.
28:11They're moving down
28:12to, again,
28:13the chrome banding
28:14on the base there.
28:15Date-wise,
28:16it's classic late 20s,
28:18coming into the 30s,
28:20you know...
28:21100 years old.
28:22Yes, basically, isn't it?
28:23People collect these sort of things.
28:24Yeah.
28:25Big time.
28:26Yes, yes,
28:26still a good strong market
28:27for anything...
28:28Well, lighting in general,
28:30Nigel, isn't it?
28:30It's always pretty strong.
28:32What did you pay for it?
28:33Do you remember?
28:33I think it was about £14
28:35at the time.
28:37£14.
28:38It was a good buy.
28:39Good buy.
28:40So,
28:41what do you think it's worth?
28:44I think £14
28:46was a bit of a steal,
28:48naff shade or not.
28:50If I had it in an auction room,
28:52I'd happily put a pre-sale estimate
28:54of sort of 70 to 100,
28:56maybe a little more,
28:57that kind of bracket,
28:58you know.
28:59So I think you're going to be
29:00three figures
29:01plus a little bit,
29:02hopefully.
29:03Lovely.
29:03How does that sound?
29:04Sounds good.
29:05Thank you.
29:05I think you'll have no trouble
29:07selling this.
29:08Good luck.
29:08Thank you.
29:09Nice to meet you.
29:09Nice to meet you.
29:11Yeah, I like it.
29:12I'm just thinking
29:13we haven't really had
29:14an Art Deco lamp.
29:15No, not a standard lamp.
29:17No, standard.
29:18It's a nice thing to see.
29:24I think Simon's valuation
29:25was close to what I was expecting.
29:28£70 to £100 auction estimate
29:31and should hopefully sell
29:32well into three figures.
29:36Hello.
29:37Hello.
29:37Hello there.
29:38Hello, Lossa.
29:39And welcome to the bidding room.
29:41And what's your name?
29:42My name's Richard.
29:44Hi, Richard.
29:44I'm from Bristol.
29:44Hello, Richard.
29:45Can you put us out of our misery
29:46and can you whip the cloth off for us?
29:48Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
29:52Oh.
29:53Oh.
29:53Oh.
29:53Oh.
29:54Oh.
29:55Oh.
29:55Ah.
29:55Oh.
29:55Ah.
29:57So I'm going to jump up
29:58and have a look at this
30:00wonderful piece of lighting.
30:03So yes, very, very Deco,
30:04very Art Deco.
30:06And you've got this lovely chrome,
30:07haven't you?
30:08And this lovely sort of like,
30:09I don't know what wood that is,
30:10but it's like...
30:11It's a wooden base.
30:14Yeah, nice.
30:15Been abonised, hasn't it?
30:16Yeah, very, very nice.
30:18Let me have a look,
30:19because I must admit,
30:20I am a fan of Art Deco.
30:21The thing I like about Art Deco,
30:22it was a real big thing
30:24that took over.
30:25Even before you were an antique dealer?
30:27Yeah.
30:28You used to do quite a lot of
30:29dancing in clubs
30:31and private bars, didn't you?
30:33You mean like pole dancing?
30:36Exactly.
30:36Pole dancing.
30:37Because I actually was a Morris dancer
30:39when I was at school.
30:42But I'm not touching on that.
30:44But if you want me to actually
30:45do the pole,
30:47I'll do the pole, then.
30:51Is this what you pay for
30:52at the weekend?
30:53Yeah.
30:54Is it?
30:55You should give up,
30:56I'm teaching.
30:56My eyes, my eyes,
30:58my eyes,
30:58I don't want to see anymore.
30:59Is it?
31:00Oh, no, I just do that.
31:02JB's getting excited, then.
31:05Morris dancing?
31:06Yeah.
31:07I was a Morris dancer
31:08in a play at school.
31:10I don't know what that is.
31:11Can you demonstrate, please?
31:12Basically, you know
31:13what a Morris dancer is,
31:14don't you, Richard?
31:14I do.
31:14You dress in white
31:15and you've got usually elastic
31:16around your ankles
31:18and you've got bells on you.
31:20So, basically,
31:21when you're dancing...
31:22It's unbelievable.
31:25Yeah, it is, isn't it?
31:26I love it.
31:26It's totally unbelievable.
31:28And I get paid for it.
31:31But not a lot.
31:32Well, guys,
31:35I think we need to light up our life.
31:38Oh, definitely.
31:39Ah, dear, I do.
31:40And let's start bidding.
31:43So, Ian's dancing
31:45may have given us all nightmares,
31:47but has he helped dance up
31:48the interest in Richard's lamp,
31:50valued at £70 to £100?
31:51I'm going to throw in
31:55a £50.
31:5755.
31:5960.
32:0075.
32:01Strange increments today.
32:03I don't know what you're talking about.
32:0477.
32:0780.
32:09100.
32:10110.
32:12120.
32:14130.
32:16140.
32:17You won't see another original
32:19like this in a hurry.
32:21160.
32:23170.
32:24180.
32:26190.
32:27200.
32:28Richard, at that point,
32:30I'm going to save my money
32:31for a proper pole to dance around.
32:35And I say thank you very much.
32:37It was lovely and so are you.
32:39I'm scarred by him
32:40dancing round it,
32:41so thank you very much,
32:43but I'm out.
32:44Thank you.
32:45I'm the opposite.
32:46It's added value to me.
32:47It's, um...
32:47210.
32:51And I'm going to leave that to JB,
32:52so I'm out.
32:55215.
32:57220.
32:58I'm going to do one more
32:59at 225.
33:02230.
33:04On that, I'm out.
33:05So we've got 230 on the table.
33:10Would you be happy with 230?
33:11Can I round you up to 240, can I?
33:13No.
33:14No?
33:15235.
33:17I'm out.
33:18Oh, no, come on!
33:20Oh, come on!
33:21You're kidding me.
33:22You must be kidding me.
33:24You must be kidding me.
33:26Well, JB, you're supposed to keep going.
33:28That's how it works.
33:29My max price is genuinely £200,
33:31and I've already gone over that,
33:34so I am out.
33:35But thank you.
33:36So, uh, do we have a deal?
33:38We have a deal.
33:39Thank you very much.
33:39Well done.
33:40Well done.
33:47George bought the lamp for £235,
33:50and I was delighted with that.
33:52There were a lot of strange things going on
33:54in the bidding room
33:54with Ian dancing around the lamp.
33:56I'm not sure that it helps,
33:58but it certainly caused a lot of laughter.
34:02Well, thank you very much, Richard.
34:04It was a very nice moment with you.
34:06Thank you all very much.
34:07Great to meet you.
34:08Yeah, you too.
34:09Thank you.
34:09You too.
34:09Bye.
34:14Don't worry, George.
34:15As Ian demonstrated magnificently, by the way,
34:19you've got a Morris dancing pole as well.
34:21Oh, yay!
34:21It's pretty good.
34:22Yeah, that's it.
34:24It works very well.
34:25It is.
34:26Wonderful.
34:27Well, thank you very much.
34:28Thank you very much.
34:28Thank you very much.
34:37Last into the bidding room is Pooja,
34:40bringing in a musical instrument
34:41that should hit the right note.
34:44So the piece I've got today
34:45is almost 100 years old,
34:47and it makes beautiful sound,
34:49and it's from India.
34:52Well, we like a box.
34:53This is a box for the difference.
34:55Yes, it's had a life, hasn't it?
34:58It's definitely had a life.
35:00I like the way it's been repaired, though,
35:01in sort of a bit of sticky tape here and there.
35:04Yes, exactly.
35:04Hello, Pooja.
35:06Hello.
35:07Welcome to the bidding room.
35:08Thank you so much.
35:09And thank you for bringing this in.
35:10Where did you find it?
35:12Actually, this was given it to me many years ago
35:16because I'm a singer,
35:18and I used to go to this meditation centre
35:21and I would sing from time to time.
35:23Right.
35:23And the lady was very impressed,
35:24and one fine day she said,
35:26here, this is for you.
35:27Oh.
35:28And apparently this is 70, 80 years old,
35:30and I've had it for almost 25 long years,
35:34so it must be 100, more than 100 years old now.
35:36I still use it.
35:37Do you?
35:38I still play because the sound is very beautiful.
35:40Yes.
35:41And it's quite similar to accordion, the sound.
35:44But you have to operate that and play at the same time?
35:46Yes, and play at the same time.
35:47So you only play with one hand?
35:48One hand.
35:49Okay.
35:49And press with the other, and you press the keys.
35:52And, I mean, when you start learning Indian music,
35:55this is the basic, you know,
35:56they teach you how to play the harmonium.
35:58But you've decided to move it on?
36:01Yes, because I've got a very modern version of it now.
36:04I don't have room.
36:05No.
36:05Okay.
36:06In my house.
36:07You brought it to the right place.
36:08Right place.
36:09Well, we can tell, Pooja,
36:10that it's been well used over the years, hasn't it?
36:12Yes.
36:14Nothing fancy about its construction.
36:16Opening the lid then, Pooja,
36:18we then have inside.
36:20I love the keys because it's that sort of mother-of-pearl,
36:24luster-type finish.
36:25And, again, I just love the wear on those.
36:28You can tell how many fingers have been playing those over the years.
36:33Date-wise, I'd probably agree with you.
36:35It must be round about the hundred years old, Mark, by now, wouldn't it?
36:39You know, our lid folds back like that,
36:42and then the important bit is at the back here, Pooja, isn't it?
36:45And we just squeeze, and it'll play, Nigel,
36:47if you want to hit a note.
36:51Oh.
36:54It's a lovely sound, isn't it?
36:55Very nice sound.
36:56Yes.
36:56Very good.
36:57Well, collectible.
36:59Collectible, yes.
37:00You've got, obviously, people who collect musical instruments.
37:03I like the fact that it's still working.
37:06Obviously, we've got a few repairs and knocks and scratches here and there,
37:09but...
37:10That's all part of it, isn't it?
37:10I don't mind that, you know.
37:12It's part of its history, isn't it?
37:14Yeah.
37:14Part of its history.
37:15So, Simon, will it go for a song?
37:17I've got to be honest, I don't think it'll be a huge, huge amount of money
37:26because of the condition.
37:28Yeah, yeah.
37:30But having said that,
37:32you're as important to the story of this as the instrument itself.
37:36Mm-hmm.
37:37So, that will help it.
37:38Mm-hmm.
37:38I think next door we're probably going to be 30 to 50 pounds,
37:44that kind of bracket.
37:45Okay.
37:46Is that all right?
37:46Brilliant.
37:47Good.
37:47I'm happy.
37:48Thank you.
37:48Very best of luck.
37:49Thank you so much.
37:50Thank you.
37:50Never seen one before.
37:51That's great.
37:51Thanks.
37:52Bye.
37:52Bye-bye.
37:53Bye-bye.
37:55Amazing.
37:55It's survived 100 years, actually.
37:57Absolutely.
38:02Yes, I've met Simon,
38:03and he estimated between 30 to 50,
38:06which I'm quite happy.
38:08I'm a bit anxious,
38:09but I'm happy and excited as well
38:12to show this antique harmonium to the Vedas.
38:16Hello.
38:20Hello.
38:21Hello.
38:21Hello.
38:22Hello.
38:22Hello.
38:23Hello.
38:23Hi, everyone.
38:25Welcome to the bidding room.
38:26Thank you.
38:27What's your name, please?
38:28I'm Pooja.
38:29Pooja.
38:30Hello, Pooja.
38:31Hello, Pooja.
38:31Very Indian name.
38:33Lovely name.
38:34Thank you.
38:34Lovely name.
38:35Thank you.
38:35Would you like to put us out of our misery, please?
38:39Sure.
38:39And reveal what you've brought us.
38:44Ooh.
38:44Oh.
38:45Still none the wiser?
38:47No.
38:47Even from this side of you.
38:48Come on, Jackie.
38:49I'm going to go and investigate.
38:51So, okay.
38:52Oh.
38:53Oh.
38:53Oh.
38:55How pretty is this?
38:57I don't know why I did that accent.
38:58Don't worry.
39:00It's almost like a, you know, like a squeeze box.
39:03Like an accordion.
39:04It's like, um, it's a travel piano or something.
39:11Aha.
39:13Oh, right.
39:14That's fantastic.
39:16Do you play this?
39:17Yes, I do.
39:18Ah.
39:18Oh, wow.
39:19Excellent.
39:20So, you can give us a tune.
39:21Sure.
39:22Please.
39:22Oh, lovely.
39:23I just play only me for, you know, it's much easier, you know, for you if I play that.
39:34Oh, that sounds good.
39:39Excellent.
39:40Brilliant.
39:41Lovely.
39:42Jackie.
39:44That's how you do it.
39:45What is it called?
39:46It's called harmonium.
39:48Oh, my.
39:49And if you see the sound, it's quite, it sounds like an accordion.
39:53I'm really drawn to it.
39:54I'm not at all musical.
39:56Not at all.
39:57So, I'm not going to attempt.
39:59Although, having said that, I can remember something like, just back.
40:02What's that called?
40:10I don't know, Joe.
40:10No idea, Joe.
40:12Absolutely.
40:13It's called nothing because you are not playing anything.
40:18But what I love, all the colours and the textures and the, it's scrummy.
40:24It's scrummy.
40:26I think we're ready.
40:27I think we're definitely ready.
40:29Start the bidding.
40:29The harmonium was valued at £30 to £50.
40:35But can Pooja squeeze any more out of the bidders?
40:39I'll start us off with £20.

41:06Well, I'm out.
41:07I'm not really for music instruments.
41:10So, I'm out.
41:12And unfortunately, I'm going to join George.
41:14I'm going to say that I'm out as well.
41:15But thank you.
41:16Yeah, I'm afraid you can't squeeze any money out of me today.
41:20So, respectfully, I'm out as well.
41:22Thank you so much.
41:22Thank you.
41:23I'm afraid I'm out.
41:26So, it's with me at £80.
41:28How does that sound?
41:30A little bit more.
41:31A little bit more.
41:33A little bit more.
41:33A little bit more.
41:3590?
41:37OK.
41:38Are you sure?
41:39Yeah.
41:39Fantastic.
41:40Thank you so much.
41:42Brilliant.
41:43I think it's time to celebrate now.
41:45Why not some Bollywood moves?
41:47Oh, yes.
41:48Would you like to please tant?
41:50I don't want to cause offence to you, though.
41:52I'm not very good at dancing.
41:54It's like just changing the balls.
41:56One, two, three, four, and one, two, three, four.
42:02Oh, Ian, you're very good at this, aren't you?
42:03And one, two, three, four.
42:06I've done this before.
42:07Four!
42:09Thank you so much.
42:10Thank you, Rooja.
42:11That was fantastic.
42:12Thank you.
42:12Wonderful.
42:13Wonderful.
42:15It went really well.
42:17I'm really pleased.
42:18Simon valued between £30 to £50, and I managed to get £90.
42:23In the end, when I got the £90, we all celebrated by doing dance.
42:29Thank you.
42:30Thank you.
42:30Lovely to meet you all.
42:32Bye-bye.
42:32Bye-bye.
42:33Bye-bye.
42:34Yeah.
42:35Yes.
42:36Wow.
42:37Lovely lady.
42:40Yeah, goodbye, Joe.
42:41Yeah.
42:42Good boy.
42:42I love that.
42:43Love it.
42:47What another incredible day.
42:49It's so good to be back in the bidding room with you, Simon.
42:53In fact, to celebrate, I've had these made.
42:56N and S.
42:58What do you think?
42:59I don't know what to say.
43:00You don't say anything.
43:00See you later.
43:01See you later.
43:06Actually, it should be S&N.
43:10Why'd you say anything?
43:11Bye-bye.
43:12Bye-bye.
43:13Bye-bye.
43:13Bye-bye.
43:17Gracias por ver el video.
