00:00Hello and welcome to Bargain Hunt. But where are we today?
00:05With more than 150 miles of waterways, it's nicknamed the Canal County.
00:11Love it or hate it, a famous savoury spread has been made here since 1902.
00:17And most of the county's farmland.
00:20Yes, we're at the County Showground in Staffordshire.
00:25And if you got that right, then here's another question for you.
00:28What do you think today's mystery item could be?
00:31All will be revealed later in the show.
00:34But first, we've got some shopping to do. Let's go bargain hunting!
00:58Today's teams will be shopping at this bustling antiques fair at Bingley Hall in Staffordshire.
01:06They'll have just one hour and £300 to buy three items to take to auction.
01:11One must cost at least £75. And then, of course, there's my challenge, which can be a bit tricky.
01:17When their items are sold, the team with the biggest profit or smallest loss wins.
01:22Those are the rules. Let's meet today's teams.
01:25I'm Anita. I'm Lauren.
01:28Watch out Blues! We're going to knock you off the court.
01:32Ooh, there's a challenge. What are your hobbies?
01:35We're both really sporty, aren't we? So I play netball.
01:38And I play tennis.
01:39Who's team captain, then?
01:41I think my mum and Anita will take charge.
01:43Will there be any bickering?
01:45Possibly, but, you know, we'll temper it.
01:49The Reds have their game plan. Let's see who they're up against.
01:53I'm Matt. I'm James.
01:55And we're ready to spin to win.
01:59Ah, yes. You're music fans. What's on your shopping list?
02:02Some vinyl. I reckon that'd be good.
02:04I'm hoping to find a guitar or something.
02:06Hmm, in tune, then. Will your father and son dynamic help?
02:11James will listen intently and do everything that I say.
02:13Maybe.
02:14Not really.
02:15Not really.
02:17What about your antiques knowledge?
02:19We're not experts, but we probably think we know more than we actually do.
02:23Confident?
02:24We will.
02:25We will win.
02:26We will.
02:27Ooh, fighting talk from both teams.
02:29Let the battle commence.
02:32Hello, team.
02:33Hello.
02:34Now, how are we feeling?
02:35Super excited.
02:36A little bit nervous, but excited.
02:38Now, what's the first thing you're going to need to go bargain hunting?
02:40Money.
02:41Money.
02:42You're absolutely right.
02:43Now, who would like the money over on the Reds?
02:45I trusted to Lauren.
02:46Lauren?
02:47Oh, well done.
02:49There's your money over there now.
02:51And what about over on the Blues?
02:52That'll be James.
02:53James, you're going to have the money.
02:54There we go.
02:55Now, you will also need one of my notoriously tricky challenges, okay?
02:59Anita, there we go, Mum.
03:01There's your challenge.
03:02And what about on the Blues?
03:03That'll be Matt.
03:04Dad's always up for a challenge, isn't he, James?
03:05Yes.
03:06There we go.
03:07Bert, we've got two cracking experts for you today.
03:08Are you ready?
03:09Yes, we're ready.
03:10Hey, off you go.
03:11Enjoy, teams.
03:12But what are we looking for in their expert?
03:16Someone a bit quirky.
03:18We're looking for someone with a good sense of humour.
03:21And someone who can keep us on track.
03:23Hello.
03:24For the Reds, it's Izzy Barmer.
03:27And somebody who can keep up with us when we run around this place.
03:30Keep up?
03:31Keep up.
03:32We've been looking for you all morning.
03:33And for the Blues, it's Nick Hall.
03:36Time to check out those challenges.
03:39An item with a sporting connection.
03:41Oh, that's perfect.
03:42See what it says?
03:44An item with a musical connection.
03:47Wow.
03:48Rev those engines, teams.
03:50Your time starts now.
03:52Let's go.
03:53Let's go.
03:54Go.
03:55It's exciting.
03:56The teams are off.
03:57And straight away, the Reds have sniffed out a glass scent bottle.
04:00I mean, it's oversized, so it's a decorative scent bottle.
04:04But it looks like...
04:05It's quite expensive.
04:06I suspect it's Medina.
04:07Should we have a look at the stopper?
04:08Yeah.
04:09There's a few little nibbles which you would expect to get, but it is otherwise in quite
04:13good condition.
04:14It is quite a lot at 140.
04:16Could you do lower, such as 75?
04:19Yes, we could do 70.
04:21Is that your best price?
04:23I know it's a lot you've taken off, but would we be cheeky and ask for 60?
04:27Why not?
04:28Yeah.
04:29Yeah?
04:30Yeah, we'll go for 60.
04:31I think Mum's following it.
04:32Yeah, I know.
04:33I'll take it home.
04:34Is this your choice?
04:36And we'll let Lauren have the next choice?
04:38Yeah.
04:39I'm happy.
04:40So you sure?
04:41Definitely want to get it?
04:42Yeah.
04:43The Reds aren't hanging around.
04:44At £60, this colourful scent bottle is their first buy.
04:49Wow, that was really speedy.
04:51The first item we've seen, we've bought.
04:53So this is either going to be the quickest shop ever, or we're now going to flounder and
04:57not be able to find anything for ages.
04:59Yeah, we've got to go for the challenge now, haven't we?
05:02Yeah, the challenge we think is now.
05:03Okay, which one?
05:04The big spend or the...?
05:05The sported.
05:06Sported.
05:07The Reds are focused.
05:08What about the Blues?
05:09Yeah, I think we want to look for some silver maybe.
05:10Do you?
05:11Something like that.
05:12This is the older thing, so...
05:13Okay.
05:14Which is good for auction.
05:15Or Scandinavian, that sort of thing.
05:16Oh, yeah, those are nice.
05:17Is that machine change?
05:18So it's David Anderson.
05:19Oh, good name.
05:20Very good name.
05:21Yeah, those are nice.
05:22Yeah, those are nice.
05:23Is that machine change?
05:24So it's David Anderson.
05:25Oh, good name.
05:26Very good name.
05:27Good.
05:28It's a set, and it's part of this series that they did.
05:31So you've got the booklet as well.
05:32So these are illustrated in the booklet?
05:34Yes.
05:35Oh, wow.
05:36And how much are they?
05:37I've got 85 on them.
05:38Oof.
05:39You can do as a deal.
05:40Where are we thinking?
05:41I can do 60, which would be a very good price for David Anderson.
05:45It would.
05:46I mean, could you come down to say 50?
05:49I could do 55, and that's a good price.
05:52So, guys, you've got one, two, three pieces of silver that are bang on trend.
05:58Scandinavian silver is doing well by a known maker, so collectors are bidding online.
06:03Brilliant.
06:04I think that's...
06:05And you've got the booklet.
06:06I'm ready to.
06:07I think for 55 pounds, you guys need to shake this lady's hand.
06:12Thank you so much.
06:13You'll do all right with those.
06:14You're a star.
06:15Thank you very much indeed.
06:16Well done, Blues.
06:17At 55 pounds, that's your first item bought.
06:19The teams are neck and neck.
06:21Done and dusted.
06:22We are...
06:23We're flying.
06:24We're flying.
06:25We're going to be number one all the way.
06:26Come on, definitely.
06:28Not if the Reds have anything to do with it.
06:31Could these balls meet my sporting challenge?
06:35Here you go.
06:36Oh, yeah.
06:37Take a look.
06:38That looks interesting, doesn't it?
06:39I was thinking, is it a pen stand?
06:40Would you put a pen here?
06:41Yeah.
06:42But none of them are inkwells, are they?
06:44No.
06:45Well, I mean, it's priced at £10, so I would like to think we could get some money off that.
06:50And therefore it ticks the challenge and it's very cheap.
06:53Cross ball, golf ball, goose feathers.
06:56Yeah.
06:57Different types of balls.
06:59Okay, shall we...
07:00We've got lots of time.
07:01Yeah.
07:02I know by leaving it we're taking a risk that it might sell, but we've actually only had
07:05nine minutes.
07:06Oh, wow.
07:07So we do still have 51 minutes.
07:08Yeah.
07:09Yeah.
07:10Wise words, Izzy.
07:11And the Blues look like they're keen to tick off their musical challenge.
07:15Spotted a guitar.
07:16Oh, wow.
07:17Pretty nice as well.
07:18All this decoration around the centre there, that's a bonus having all that, isn't it?
07:22Yeah, definitely.
07:23I've never seen anything like that on an acoustic guitar before, so it's quite cool to see.
07:26Yeah.
07:27Not sure what sort of brand it is, but I think it would sell quite well.
07:30That's in good condition, isn't it?
07:31Yeah.
07:32Yeah.
07:33So something like this, as music enthusiasts, the sort of thing that you would bid on at
07:37auction, you would buy?
07:38Yeah, definitely.
07:39I think we would.
07:40I think it's, yeah.
07:41I think it's good as a decorative piece as well.
07:42We need to find out the price.
07:43Oh, good point.
07:44Is there a ticket on there?
07:45Well, it says 85 on there, but I think we could get that down.
07:48I tell you, if I have a quick word with the dealer, I see if there's a deal to be
07:52done.
07:53What sort of look is that though?
07:54Do you think that's Spanish?
07:55Yeah, I think it's Spanish.
07:56Yeah, maybe.
07:57Yeah, yeah.
07:58The dealer, he would come down to 50 pounds.
08:01That's pretty good.
08:02That's very good.
08:03Yeah.
08:04I think there's a profit in that.
08:05Food for thought, isn't it?
08:06Yeah.
08:07Yeah.
08:08Let's put it on the back burner.
08:09Okay.
08:10Have a quick look round.
08:11Yeah.
08:12See what we can do.
08:13It's definitely first reserve.
08:14The Blues aren't ready to add another string to their boat just yet.
08:17Back to the Reds who are still searching for their sporting challenge.
08:21It's 1975.
08:23It's not as old as I would like it to be.
08:26No, it's so far.
08:27The more collectible golfing trophies are the ones from the 30s, sort of that sort of
08:31period.
08:32Yeah, yeah.
08:33It's 145.
08:34It's expensive, isn't it, for that?
08:35Expensive.
08:36It is.
08:37But I think it would be, you know, even if we're looking at getting it down to 75, it
08:41could go one way or really could go one way or the other.
08:44Just because I have seen them sell as little as 35 and as much as, you know, 150, 160, 170.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Put it back.
08:51Yeah.
08:52Carry on lucky.
08:53One for the back burner then.
08:55Meanwhile, the Blues have set their sights on some Kitchenalia.
08:59Nick, have you ever seen any of these sell at auction before?
09:02Oh, I've sold so many jelly moulds over there.
09:05Jelly moulds, Blumange moulds, Kitchenalia in general, which is any collectible from a
09:10kitchen, is an area that's strangely doing well at the moment.
09:14Hello.
09:15Hello, hello.
09:16You all have your collection of jelly moulds as court, are I?
09:18Super.
09:19So, all these ones are English.
09:22They're all mid-Victorian.
09:24Yeah, yeah.
09:25Most of them are Benham and Froud, one of the best makers.
09:27Benham and Froud, great maker.
09:29That's going to add to the value.
09:30Great English maker.
09:31Yeah.
09:32Benham and Froud coppersmiths were established in London in 1785, and their creations reflected
09:38the glory days of jelly through the 18th and 19th centuries.
09:43This one is Trottier Paris.
09:46Oh, it's French.
09:47They've been making jelly moulds since about 1710.
09:51Wonderful.
09:52They're getting the hang of it, then.
09:53Yeah, they're getting the hang of it.
09:54French are great coffee makers, of course.
09:56Yes, of course.
09:57Trottier, fantastic manufacturer.
10:00So, price-wise, what are we looking at, roughly, for these?
10:03So, this one is about £100.
10:05Is it?
10:06Right, right.
10:07Could that come down to £75?
10:09It could come to £80.
10:11What about £79?
10:12So, if it made £80 in the auction, we'd make a pound profit.
10:15OK, I can work with that.
10:18At £79, it's about there.
10:20Yeah.
10:21There's a bit of jeopardy.
10:22It might make a few quid, it might lose a few quid.
10:24OK.
10:25But it's an interesting potential to come back to.
10:28OK.
10:29Yeah?
10:30We'll take that good advice.
10:31Lovely.
10:32OK.
10:33Well, we'll put that jelly in the fridge and we'll come back and get set, shall we?
10:36Yeah.
10:37All right, come on.
10:39No wobbles, Blues.
10:40Now, that's definitely not something you'd use to make a pudding.
10:45Beautiful.
10:46Japanese satsuma.
10:47Yeah.
10:48With all the gold and, yeah, all hand-painted.
10:50It's over a hundred years old.
10:51Really?
10:52But, really lovely piece.
10:53Might have a price on the bottom.
10:54I think it's going to be expensive.
10:55Yes.
10:56£150.
10:57Yeah, OK.
10:58What would be the best price you could?
11:00We can knock you £20 or £130.
11:05How about that?
11:06I think it's a lot of money for us to buy for auction, if I'm really honest.
11:09OK.
11:10Thank you for that.
11:11Thank you very much.
11:12Keep looking, Reds.
11:13There's still time.
11:14What have the Blues found?
11:16There's a pair of urns over there.
11:18OK.
11:19Urns traditionally do well at auction.
11:21Pairs of anything traditionally do well at auction.
11:24Right.
11:25They may be out of budget, but if by any slim chance they're not, they might be worth
11:29considering.
11:30Shall we have a look?
11:31We'll have a look.
11:32Yeah.
11:33Good solid cast iron.
11:34And you've got that lovely, that kind of weathered green look.
11:36They look like they've been sat in a country house for a hundred years.
11:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:40We could give those a whiz.
11:42And the bases, I rather.
11:43The bases are different.
11:44The bases are stone.
11:45Oh, no.
11:46No, they're metal.
11:47They're cast as well.
11:48But they're metal but unpainted, so they look like stone.
11:51Do you think they're meant to be together?
11:53Well, is it attached or does it sit?
11:56Oh, yeah, OK.
11:57Yeah, yeah.
11:58That looks like it's meant to be.
12:00I'd probably get them painted up probably.
12:02Yeah.
12:03Rather than leave them like that.
12:04But I know other people prefer them to be, you know, that weathered look.
12:07Yeah, that weathered look traditionally fetches more at auction.
12:10Right.
12:11But can the Blues afford them?
12:13Good news, bad news.
12:14Let's go good news.
12:15The good news is we've got great taste.
12:18OK.
12:19Bad news is they're too expensive.
12:20They're £495.
12:21Ooh.
12:22Bit of a budget.
12:23OK.
12:24So, for us, there's nothing we can earn out of those.
12:25Yeah.
12:26Onwards and upwards.
12:27Come on.
12:28That's the spirit, Nick.
12:30How are the Reds faring?
12:32Yeah, it's just got a sporting connection.
12:34How much is it?
12:35To you, 25 quid.
12:37Very often they tend to sink at auction.
12:39OK.
12:40But £25 is a very cheap price.
12:42It's a very cheap price.
12:43Yeah.
12:44What are you thinking?
12:45Is it a heavier thing?
12:46Is it sort of a handmade type of thing or...?
12:48Yes.
12:49Yeah.
12:50Yeah.
12:51There's a smaller boat there.
12:52Oh, that's pretty, isn't it?
12:54So, I wonder if it's silver...
12:56It's probably silver plate rather than...
12:58Oh, no, hang on.
12:59What does it say down there on the very base, on the keel?
13:01It's got somebody's initials, JV, and then is that a silver...?
13:04Hallmark.
13:05925.
13:06Silver?
13:07Yeah.
13:08Silver.
13:09It's a sporting item.
13:10I mean, they sell in the Olympics, don't they?
13:12Yeah.
13:13But they're like world championships of sailing.
13:14How much would you go for this small silver boat?
13:16I have no idea what price I've got on it.
13:19£5.
13:20£40.
13:21£40.
13:22I could do £32.
13:23£32?
13:24Yeah.
13:25And you wouldn't consider £25?
13:27No.
13:28No.
13:29That's fine, that's fine.
13:30Just wondered.
13:31Yeah.
13:32Yeah.
13:33Shall we leave this for now?
13:34Yeah.
13:35So, while the reds sail away, Nick's found another pair for the blues.
13:39Now, that is interesting to me.
13:43That shape and that back, particularly in that colour when it's been ebonised, it's been coloured black to look like ebony.
13:50Yes.
13:51And that shape is an English copy of Japanese furniture.
13:55Right.
13:56And it's very specifically 1870, 1880, what we call the aesthetic period.
14:01Okay.
14:02When the artists of our country was greatly influenced by Japanese exports coming in.
14:08Right.
14:09And furniture designs like that became quite popular.
14:12What do you think?
14:13And there's a handful of big name designers.
14:16Yes.
14:17That if you did your research, got all the reference books out, and you could find that design and attribute it to a specific designer, your quids in.
14:24But it looks a little bit like a chap who was E. W. Godwin.
14:28Okay.
14:29And if they're by him, they're worth ten times more than if they're by no one in particular.
14:33Well, let's keep that quiet, just in case they are.
14:35Yeah, we'll keep that quiet.
14:36But as a design, do you like...?
14:38Yeah, I do actually.
14:39I think they're decorative pieces, aren't they?
14:41Yeah, yeah.
14:42And of course, you can sell them not just to people who just wants a pair of chairs in their house or for children to sit in.
14:48So if you collect teddy bears, collect dolls, you can sit them on them.
14:51Good point.
14:52Yeah, good point.
14:53So you've got a multitude of potential billeted doors in there.
14:55Oh, and I'll tell you what's interesting.
14:58See all those holes?
14:59Yeah.
15:00Tells me that this was, at some point, it was rattan.
15:03You know what I mean by rattan?
15:05Yes, yeah, yeah.
15:06Canework.
15:07It's not woodworm.
15:08It's not woodworm, no.
15:09The seats are not in the original condition.
15:11No maker though.
15:12I'm not seeing any makers, stamps, names marked.
15:15But look guys, we need to know how much they are.
15:17Yeah.
15:18And then we can make a decision.
15:20I'll be back in a moment.
15:22While Nick checks for the blues, I'm going to leave the team to their shopping as I have a mystery to solve.
15:29So let's have a look at this really rather unusual object.
15:32What could it be?
15:33Well, it's a rectangular shape.
15:35It's not too heavy, but it is quite substantial.
15:38It looks to me like it's been made from pine.
15:40As I say, it's got these rather funny little markings along the top which look like a sort of measurement.
15:46Internally, it's got a circular spindle and another circular spindle and then this central square spindle which actually turns with this wooden handle but is completely free at the other end.
15:59It's got this cross beam here which you can adjust according to your widths and can be secured.
16:05And also, what's rather unusual is it has this little clamp which means it can be attached to a surface like this.
16:14It's certainly intriguing, isn't it?
16:16Let's see if anyone here at the fair can guess what it is.
16:19Some kind of measuring device, is it?
16:22Music, sheet music perhaps?
16:25Maybe something for knitting or sewing?
16:28Yeah, maybe it's something that was used in the field to measure a certain distance.
16:33And what about this turning handle?
16:35Turning butter, churning butter now.
16:39Measuring letter size, like envelope size or something.
16:43Almost.
16:44Is it to get the perfect size food?
16:48And that winds.
16:50So what would you wind?
16:52Materials or...
16:54I'll give you a clue, it's got a connection to medicine.
16:57You can't wind people round it, can't you?
17:00No, you can't wind people round it.
17:02Oh dear, they're struggling with this one.
17:04Time to wrap things up.
17:06I can reveal that this is, in fact, a bandage roller.
17:10Good gracious me.
17:12Oh, okay.
17:13I'll learn something.
17:15Yeah.
17:17For centuries, wounds have been wrapped with bandages to help them to heal.
17:21Linen and cotton bandages were the most commonly used materials
17:24to support sprains and swellings, to stem bleeding and stop infections.
17:31Now, if you injure yourself these days, you'd normally reach for something like this.
17:35A dressing or a bandage.
17:37All sealed and sterile, so you know that no one has used them before you.
17:42But that wasn't always the case.
17:45In the past, cost and lack of availability meant that bandages had to be reused.
17:50Not the most hygienic option when you think of all the blood and mud and infection and gangrene.
17:57To tackle this, the Victorians and Edwardians started to use heat, steam and water to sterilise dressings.
18:05Bandages were washed, dried outside and then stored until they were needed again.
18:09Early bandage rollers were really quite big and bulky devices.
18:15But this is a handy portable one, possibly for working in the field.
18:19And this is how it worked.
18:21So you would measure your bandage according to the scale here.
18:24So you would say it's that wide.
18:26And then you'd bring your cross beam there.
18:29Just like that. That's about right, isn't it?
18:30And then secure it with this little nut there.
18:35And then you would post your bandage to secure it through the bottom spindle there.
18:42And then post it through the top and secure it around the central winding spindle.
18:49And then you'd make sure that you've got it really tight.
18:51And then you'd start winding.
18:56And obviously the weight of itself would secure it.
18:59And that central cross beam keeps it nice and neat.
19:03And there we go.
19:05Winding a very nice, neat bandage.
19:09How do you get it off?
19:11Well, you would take out this central spindle.
19:14And there, nicely, neat, rolled bandage.
19:18The rollers were crucial during the first and second world wars.
19:24Allowing medics to quickly apply clean, tightly rolled bandages to wounds on the battlefield.
19:30In field hospitals or at first aid stations.
19:34So what might one of these be worth today?
19:37A vintage roller like this might set you back in the region of 50 pounds.
19:42But one with interesting provenance that had perhaps been at a particular battle
19:45may set you back quite a lot more.
19:48But by the 1950s, bandage making was mechanised.
19:52Using sterile materials like gauze and synthetic fibres.
19:56Which meant no more recycling of dressings.
19:58So the use of the humble winder was finally wound up.
20:05Back to the shopping.
20:07And with 30 minutes left on the clock, both teams have won by in the bag.
20:10Blues, what's the news on the price of those chairs?
20:16Interesting conversation.
20:18He's not selling them as a pair.
20:19He's selling them separately.
20:21Right.
20:22And oddly enough, I don't know why, he wants 90 pounds for that one.
20:25Yeah.
20:2680 pounds for that one.
20:28Okay.
20:29I don't know why.
20:30Is the damage on one of them all?
20:32I don't know.
20:33They look identical to me.
20:34Anyway.
20:35He wants 170 for the pair.
20:37Yeah.
20:38That's a bit steep.
20:40He bought them from an antique shop, so I guess there's a very slim profit in it for him.
20:44Okay.
20:45But none for us.
20:46Okay.
20:47Best move on, Blues.
20:49And it looks like the Reds have gone back to the pond yacht they saw earlier.
20:53Still liking it?
20:54Yeah.
20:55I think it's the right choice, isn't it?
20:56Yeah, I think so.
20:57It's a sporting item.
20:59They sell in the Olympics, don't they?
21:00Mm-hmm.
21:01The price, you're saying, is 25.
21:03Yes.
21:04Is there any chance of...?
21:05I've slashed the price in half for you.
21:07Yeah.
21:08So that's really as low as it's going to go.
21:10Yeah.
21:11I think there could be a profit in that.
21:12Yeah.
21:13Yeah.
21:14Is it in good condition, sir?
21:15Yes, it is.
21:16Yeah.
21:17I'm happy with the boat, if you are.
21:18Yeah, I'm happy with the boat.
21:19I'm happy with the boat.
21:20Yes.
21:21Yes.
21:22The boat, please.
21:23Thank you very much, sir.
21:24Thank you very much indeed.
21:26Good luck.
21:27We're back on a roll, meeting the challenge to find an item with a sporting connection.
21:32Fantastic.
21:33So we've got our challenge and now it's just the big spend.
21:35Yeah.
21:36Yes.
21:37Let's get going.
21:38Yeah.
21:39And 20 minutes to find it, team.
21:40The Blues are revisiting their potential musical challenge item.
21:44Well, guys, just fingers crossed it's still there.
21:46Let's hope so.
21:47Let's hope so.
21:48Look, there it is.
21:49There it is still there.
21:50Oh, thank goodness, it's still there.
21:52And second time round, do you like it as much, James?
21:54I like it as much.
21:55I think it's a very good decorative piece.
21:56I think we could sell it for a bit of a profit.
21:59Yeah.
22:00Do you think we're going to make a profit?
22:01I think so.
22:02Oh, I think if we can get it for £49.
22:03Yeah.
22:04Because they said £50 last time.
22:06They did.
22:07And they might have been swinging us along, of course.
22:08Oh, I think so.
22:09They might have.
22:10So, if you can do your magic there.
22:11Right.
22:12I'll go and get the dealer, tell him we're definitely going to have it.
22:14I'll put in our bid of £49.
22:16Keep those fingers crossed.
22:17Perfect.
22:18Can Nick pull some strings and get it for a song?
22:22Oh, music, sweet music.
22:25£49, yes.
22:26Excellent work, Nick.
22:27We're going to buy it?
22:28Yes.
22:29You should do.
22:30Great work, Blues.
22:31At £49, the guitar ticks off my musical challenge.
22:35Just one more item to find, but you need to hurry.
22:39And so do you, Reds.
22:41Could this silver be your big spend and final buy?
22:45I think the only thing I've really seen here is those little egg and spoons.
22:48I don't know how much they are.
22:50You're looking at 250, I think, off the top of my head.
22:54Ah, 250.
22:55We've got 225, but you also need to leave me a little bit.
22:58Yeah, sure.
22:59The Reds still haven't cracked their big spend.
23:02And the pressure's on for the Blues, who are back at the jelly moulds they saw earlier.
23:06Can they do a sweet deal?
23:08I think there's a profit in that, definitely.
23:10Yeah.
23:11What do you think about maybe buying a set?
23:14Oh, very good.
23:15Is Dad jokes like this all the time, is it?
23:17It's worse at home.
23:18It's worse at home.
23:19Wow.
23:20Well done.
23:21A bit wobbly at times, but you know.
23:22Oh, no.
23:23It's getting worse, isn't it?
23:24Of course.
23:25It's getting worse.
23:26Dad jokes aside, would multiples sell better, or would you just sell one?
23:31Wow.
23:32I mean, would there be a discount if we bought more than one?
23:35I expect so, yes.
23:37That could be a set.
23:38We could get a set, maybe.
23:39What would be your best price if the guys took those two?
23:43130.
23:44If we could do 129, that's perfect for the auction, and I think it's perfect for both
23:49of us, really.
23:50Okay.
23:51Guys, you're in charge.
23:52If you want to spend the money, shake the guy's hand.
23:54Brilliant.
23:55Thank you very much.
23:58Well done, Blues.
23:59At £129, the jelly moulds meet your big spend.
24:04And you're done.
24:05That is it.
24:06We're all shopped out.
24:07Brilliant.
24:08We've got musical, we've got jellies.
24:10I don't know if I'm ready for a lie down in a dark place.
24:13Let's go down and have a cup of tea.
24:14Come on.
24:15Over to you, Reds.
24:17The clock is ticking, and you also need to spend big.
24:21Time to head back to that Satsuma Bowl.
24:23We've got a minute left.
24:25Okay, right.
24:26We'd like to go for the bowl.
24:27But how much?
24:28You couldn't do, you know, sort of another...
24:30130 and knock your £20 knock.
24:32Yeah, can we knock off another five, or...?
24:35Yeah, for you today, yeah, no problem.
24:37Oh, thank you very much.
24:38So, £125.
24:40Oh, you're welcome.
24:42Thank you very much.
24:43Talk about cutting it down.
24:45Congratulations.
24:47Almost gave me a heart attack.
24:49So, at £125,
24:52the Japanese bowl meets their big spend.
24:56That's it, teams.
24:57Your shopping is over.
24:59Shall we go and have a well-deserved lie down?
25:01Yes.
25:02Thank you very much.
25:05Let's remind ourselves what the Red team bought.
25:08They were quick off the mark with the pretty glass scent bottle at £60.
25:15The Pontiot for £25 met their challenge to find an item with a sporting connection.
25:21And they haggled for their big spend buying the Japanese Satsuma Bowl for £125.
25:30Oh, Anita, Lauren, that was a good shop, wasn't it, Izzy?
25:34It was a little bit stressful at the end, wasn't it?
25:36No.
25:37Surely not.
25:38Anita, no stress around here, is there?
25:39Certainly not.
25:40No.
25:41Did you enjoy it, though?
25:42I did.
25:43Really did.
25:44Tell me, out of the three things that you purchased, what was your favourite?
25:47My favourite was the scent bottle.
25:49The scent bottle.
25:50Lovely.
25:51Okie dokie.
25:52What about you, Lauren?
25:53Mine was the Japanese bowl.
25:54The Satsuma Bowl.
25:55Yes.
25:56And that was your big spend, wasn't it?
25:57Yes.
25:58Now, Anita, tell me, what do you think is going to make you the most profit?
26:00I think it's going to be the scent bottle.
26:02Oh, she's sticking to her scent bottle.
26:03I'm sticking to it.
26:04Yeah?
26:05What about you, Lauren?
26:06What do you think is going to make you the most money?
26:07I think the boat.
26:08Ah, the Pontiot.
26:09Yes.
26:10It's going to make you the most money as well, wasn't it?
26:11Yes.
26:12To find an item with a sporting connection.
26:13Yes.
26:14So, how much did you spend in total, team?
26:16I spent £210.
26:17£210.
26:18So, that means one of you has got £90.
26:21Is that right?
26:22Yes.
26:23Hand it over to Izzy, who I'm sure will spend it very wisely on your bar.
26:27Thank you very much.
26:28There it is.
26:29Izzy, what do you intend to do with that?
26:30Well, we've been quite decisive at buying expensive things, so I'm going to try and buy
26:33something expensive as well.
26:34Oh, there we go.
26:35There's a challenge.
26:36I like that.
26:37While Izzy goes off bonus by shopping, let's just remind ourselves what the blue team bought.
26:42First up was the David Anderson silver tie clip and cufflink set for £55.
26:49The decorative guitar for £49 met their challenge to find an item with a musical connection.
26:58And for their big spend, they splashed out £129 on two copper jelly moulds.
27:05Matt and James.
27:07Did you enjoy it, Charles?
27:08Yeah, it was very good.
27:09You did?
27:10A lot of fun.
27:11Good.
27:12Now, tell me, out of the three items that you purchased, James, what was your favourite?
27:15I think the guitar.
27:16Ah.
27:17So, I challenged you to find an item with a musical connection.
27:20Yeah.
27:21And you came back with a guitar.
27:22So, well done for that.
27:23What about you, Matt?
27:24What was your favourite?
27:25Favourite item, definitely the jelly moulds.
27:27Yeah.
27:28And of course, the jelly moulds were your big spend, weren't they?
27:29They were.
27:30So, James, what do you think is going to make you the most profit out of the three items
27:33that you've purchased?
27:34I'd like to think the guitar.
27:35Right.
27:36Because it was like my choice, so I want to stand by it.
27:37Are you going to stand by a guitar?
27:38My contribution, yeah.
27:39Okay, fair enough.
27:40What about you, Matt?
27:41What do you think is going to make you the most money?
27:42I think it's going to be the cufflinks and the tie clip set that they bought.
27:45Ah, the first item that you purchased.
27:47Yeah.
27:48The first thing they bought was the first thing they saw straight in.
27:50Straight in.
27:51Big profit.
27:52No messing.
27:53So, overall team, what did you spend in total?
27:56£233.
27:57£233.
27:58So, someone has got £67 to hand over to Nick.
28:03Who's got that?
28:04You've got that, James.
28:05Show me the money.
28:06Yeah.
28:07There we go.
28:08There we go.
28:09Nick, what do you intend to do with that?
28:10I'm going to find something cool and quirky.
28:12Oh, there we go.
28:13Much like your good self.
28:15While Nick goes off bonus by shopping, let's head over to the auction.
28:20For today's auction, we've travelled to Derby, where James Lewis is on the restroom.
28:26James, what a pleasure and a delight it is to be here.
28:29Great to have you.
28:30Now, shall we chat about the reds?
28:32Go on.
28:33So, Lauren and Anita went shopping with Izzy Barmer.
28:35Yep.
28:36And the first thing that they purchased was this rather spectacular scent bottle and stopper
28:41over here.
28:42What do you think of that?
28:43Yeah, what did they buy it as?
28:44Well, they bought it as Medina.
28:46Yeah, now, interestingly, it's a rare pattern.
28:49It's Crizzle Stripe.
28:50OK, so what do we think on value?
28:52£30 to £50.
28:53OK, £60 paid on that one.
28:56Yeah, it's got a chance with our Maltese buyers.
28:58OK, well, their next purchase was their challenge, to find an item with a sporting connection.
29:03It's a rather beautiful pond yacht, isn't it?
29:05Yeah.
29:06They look great in a window, don't they?
29:08They look really smart for an interior designer.
29:10Really smart.
29:11What is your estimate?
29:12£20 to £30.
29:13They'll be delighted.
29:14Only £25 paid.
29:15OK.
29:16So let's move on to their final purchase, which was their big spend.
29:20It is, of course, this rather lovely bowl.
29:22The quality of the decoration, I think, is quite nice.
29:24It's sort of just slightly above average, I would say.
29:27There's warriors in there.
29:28Yes.
29:29And really quite stylish.
29:31The issue with it, which will put off a lot of the collectors, is the gilding is badly worn.
29:36I've put £60 to £100 on it.
29:38What did they pay?
29:39£125.
29:40Oh, I knew you were going to say that.
29:43Let's move over to James and Matt, who went shopping with Nick Hall.
29:47Now, the first item that they purchased was the David Andersons of tie clip and cufflinks.
29:52Yeah.
29:53With this rather sweet little booklet as well, which is quite cool, isn't it?
29:55It is.
29:56David Anderson is popular.
29:57This sort of 1970s retro look is popular as well.
30:02Cufflinks, popular.
30:04£30 to £50, I thought of.
30:05OK.
30:06Well, Matt thinks they're going to make them the most profit.
30:08OK.
30:09OK, the little group with the booklet.
30:10They paid £55.
30:11OK.
30:12It's got a chance.
30:13It's doable.
30:14It's got a chance.
30:15It's doable, yeah.
30:16Now, they then moved on to purchase their rather lovely guitar.
30:19And I challenged them to find an item with a musical connection.
30:23It's fairly modern and mass-produced.
30:25And there are plenty of exactly this model.
30:28What's your estimate?
30:29I've put £20 to £40 on it.
30:31OK.
30:32£49 paid.
30:33They moved on to their final purchase, which was their big spend.
30:37These rather beautiful moulds.
30:39They're cool, aren't they?
30:41Really smart.
30:42They're a good colour.
30:43They're really useful.
30:45There are some huge collectors of jelly moulds out there.
30:48You know, people love them.
30:50£40 to £60.
30:51£129 paid.
30:53It might be a push.
30:54Now, will you be taking the auction for us?
30:56I will.
30:57Well, very best of luck.
30:59At £260, £270 to £80.
31:03So, Lauren, Anita, how are you feeling?
31:06Just now.
31:07Nervous.
31:08Nervous.
31:09Nervous.
31:10Why are you nervous?
31:11Just want to see what's going to go on.
31:12Yeah.
31:13If only we could tell what's going to happen.
31:14Yeah.
31:15Your first purchase was your really rather beautiful art glass Medina ovoid scent bottle.
31:20You paid £60 for it.
31:22All right.
31:23Here it is.
31:24I can start the bidding as an absentee bid of £30 for the Medina glass.
31:28£45, £45, £50.
31:29Do you want to go one more?
31:31Add £50.
31:32It's a really rare pattern.
31:34Come on, someone.
31:35Go on.
31:36Give them one last go.
31:38One more.
31:39Add £50.
31:41Anyone else?
31:42£50.
31:43Oh, so close, ladies.
31:44That's just sold for £50, which at the moment is sadly.
31:49That's a loss of just a tenner.
31:51Yes.
31:52So, here comes your second purchase, which was, of course, your rather lovely pond yacht.
31:56I challenge you to find an item with a sporting connection.
31:59Very well done.
32:00It does pass the challenge.
32:01You paid £25 for it.
32:03The auctioneer's estimate is £20 to £30.
32:05So, we're there or thereabouts.
32:06Okay.
32:07Here it comes.
32:08Good luck.
32:09There we are.
32:10And I can start the bidding at 20, 25, 30, 5, 40, 5, 50, 5.
32:20Come on, pond yacht racers.
32:21Come on.
32:22At 50.
32:25Oh, well done.
32:27That has just sold for £50.
32:29That is a profit of £25.
32:31Yes.
32:32So, at the moment, girls, we are up by £15, okay?
32:35Yeah.
32:36So, here comes your big spend.
32:38Now, Lauren, this is your favourite piece.
32:39Yes, it was.
32:40The Japanese Satsuma Bowl.
32:42Unfortunately, as James pointed out, there's quite a lot of gilding wear on the outside.
32:45But I said, let's focus on the middle.
32:47Yeah.
32:48Not on the outside.
32:49Here it comes now.
32:50You paid £125 for it, okay?
32:52There it is.
32:53There it is.
32:54The Satsuma Bowl.
32:55Beautifully decorated in the centre.
32:57It's a good thing and a good size.
33:00And I can start at £75, £85, £95, £100, £110, £120, £130, £140, £150, £160, £170, £180, £190.
33:17£290, £220, £220, £240.
33:24Yeah, what's money?
33:27Who cares?
33:28£270 with the yellow.
33:30£270, £280, £290.
33:32Well thought.
33:33Well done online.
33:35At £280.
33:36That's a staggering result.
33:37Yeah.
33:38So that is a £155 profit.
33:39So that means at this point, after your three lots, you are up by £170.
33:42Wow.
33:43Now, you did leave Izzy with £90.
33:45Yes.
33:46OK.
33:47Right, ladies, close your peepers just for a minute.
33:49And Izzy will go off and get her bonus prize.
33:50OK.
33:51OK.
33:52OK.
33:53Ladies, are you ready?
33:54Yes.
33:55OK.
33:56Open your eyes.
33:57Oh, wow.
33:58OK, so I know you both have enamelling, silver, jewellery, which is exactly why I bought it.
34:03However, I'm not going to lie.
34:04It is my money.
34:05It is my money.
34:06It is my money.
34:07It is my money.
34:08It is my money.
34:09It is my money.
34:10It is my money.
34:11It is my money.
34:12It is my money.
34:13It is my money.
34:14It is my money.
34:15It is my money.
34:16It is my money.
34:17I'm not going to lie.
34:18It is modern reproduction.
34:20And I have got buyer's remorse.
34:22I do think I've overpaid.
34:23OK.
34:24So because you're up so much money, I'm just going to be totally honest with you.
34:27OK.
34:28How much did you pay for it?
34:30Here it is.
34:31I paid £80.
34:32OK.
34:33And do you think it will make a profit?
34:34No.
34:35Oh.
34:37I saw it.
34:38I loved it.
34:39And now I'm thinking, why did I pay so much money?
34:42Go with the expert Izzy on what you're saying and not go for it.
34:45Yeah, not go for it.
34:46And if it makes a profit, you won't be mad at me?
34:48No.
34:49Not at all.
34:50No.
34:51So final decision?
34:52Final decision.
34:53You're not going to go for the bonus buy.
34:54No.
34:55OK.
34:56Well, out of curiosity, we are going to sell it anyway.
34:57So let's see what our auctioneer thinks of Izzy's really rather lovely Art Nouveau style
35:01necklace.
35:02It's in a 1920s box, but the necklace itself is very modern.
35:10But it is silver and it is enamel.
35:12So I've put £25 to £35 on it.
35:14OK.
35:15Izzy spent £80 on it.
35:17You never know what might happen.
35:18You might get there.
35:19Yeah.
35:20Definitely.
35:21The auctioneer's estimate is £25 to £35.
35:24OK.
35:25Would it have been a risk worth taking?
35:26Let's find out.
35:27I can start the bidding at £25.
35:29£30 now.
35:30Should be hands everywhere.
35:32£35, £40, £50, £50, £60 on the fourth row.
35:38At £60, anyone else?
35:40All sure?
35:42Hey!
35:43Made the right decision.
35:45It would have made a loss of £20.
35:47You decided not to go with a bonus buy.
35:49So you are still at an incredible £170 profit.
35:55Wow.
35:56Well done!
36:04James, Matt, how are you feeling?
36:06Excited.
36:07Excited?
36:08Yeah.
36:09Oh, that was quite an intense excitement.
36:10I know, but we're a bit nervous.
36:11Tents and excited.
36:12Tents and excited.
36:13Tents and excited.
36:14Your first purchase was the tie clip and the cufflinks.
36:17Very nice, sir.
36:18With the little booklet as well.
36:20Yeah.
36:21You paid £55 for them.
36:22Yeah.
36:23Are you ready?
36:24Ready to go.
36:25Ready to go.
36:26Ready to go.
36:27Right.
36:28Here they come.
36:29Aren't they stylish?
36:3030, 35.
36:3140, 45.
36:32They're worth more than that.
36:33David Anderson, great maker.
36:3550.
36:3655.
36:37Go 56.
36:38Let's see if we can do it.
36:4056!
36:41Yeah!
36:4257.
36:43Career highlight.
36:44Going up in £1 lots.
36:46At 57.
36:48Yours!
36:49Yes!
36:50Excellent.
36:51I'm not entirely sure he's ever worked so hard for a pound.
36:56For a pound?
36:57I would have been so pleased for a pound, wouldn't I?
37:00Brilliant.
37:01Well done, guys.
37:02That just made £57.
37:03Perfect.
37:04Your first purchase, of course, your cufflinks and tie bar.
37:06Profit.
37:07Profit.
37:08That is a £2 profit.
37:09Now, the next item that you purchased, your second item, was, of course, your rather lovely
37:12acoustic guitar.
37:13Yes.
37:14Now, James, this was all about you, wasn't it?
37:16Yeah.
37:17Yeah.
37:18Because we set you a challenge to find an item with a musical connection.
37:20Okay.
37:21Well, here we go.
37:22£49 paid.
37:23That was savvy, wasn't it?
37:25Here it comes now.
37:26Good luck, guys.
37:27I've got two absentee bids, which means I've got to go to 45.
37:33Come on.
37:34It's an absentee bid.
37:36I can't persuade an absentee bid at 45.
37:40Anybody got a child or a grandson who plays the guitar, this will be a super Christmas
37:45present.
37:46Yes, it would.
37:47Oh, yes.
37:48Lovely quality.
37:49Anyone else?
37:50Are you sure?
37:52At 45, gavel is raised.
37:57Oh!
37:59So, that just sold for £45, which is a £4 loss.
38:03That was a £49, wasn't it?
38:05£49.
38:06So, here comes your final purchase.
38:07Now, Matt, this was your favourite.
38:09Jelly Moles.
38:10The Jelly Moles.
38:11The Jelly Moles.
38:12This is it.
38:13Look, his little face swipes on.
38:14Jelly on the telly.
38:15Yeah!
38:16Could we name them?
38:17The Telly Moles.
38:18The Telly Moles.
38:19The Jelly Telly Moles.
38:20I like that.
38:21And you paid £129 for them.
38:23Here they come.
38:24We can start at 40, 45, 50, 55, 60.
38:29At 60...
38:30Oh, no.
38:31Taking a photograph, not bidding.
38:32Careful.
38:33At 60, 65, 70.
38:36At 70, 75, do I see?
38:39At £70.
38:40No.
38:41One more, Seth.
38:42One more.
38:43One more.
38:44At 80.
38:45They are really good.
38:46They're a lovely colour.
38:47Have confidence in them.
38:49At 80.
38:50At 80 pounds.
38:51Try another.
38:52Try another.
38:53Come on.
38:54At 80.
38:55At 80 pounds.
38:5680.
38:57What have we done?
38:58Gently more disaster.
38:59They just sold for £80, which is a £49 loss, sadly.
39:04So, overall, we are at minus 51 pounds.
39:09You left Nick with £67.
39:13Shall we find out what he did with it?
39:14Yes, please.
39:15OK.
39:16Right, Nick, would you please go and get your bonus buy?
39:18Chaps, close your peepers just for a moment.
39:20Right, chaps, are you ready?
39:21Yes.
39:22OK, open those peepers.
39:23We like a bit of silver.
39:24They're amazing, aren't they?
39:25Obviously salt and pepper pots.
39:26Yeah.
39:27Penguins.
39:28They look like they're Victorian, but they're not.
39:29They are of the 20th century.
39:30They are of a continental white metal.
39:31They have the little maker's stamp on the back, which is always encouraging for a collector
39:32to know who they made by.
39:33You can research them.
39:34But they're novelty.
39:35And novelty, silver wares, white metal, silver plated wares, has a huge following.
39:38Yeah.
39:39So, that's a big part of it.
39:40So, that's a big part of it.
39:41It's a big part of it.
39:42It's a big part of it.
39:43It's a big part of it.
39:44It's a big part of it.
39:45It's a big part of it.
39:46But they're novelty.
39:47And novelty, silver wares, white metal, silver plated wares, has a huge following.
39:52Yeah.
39:53So, how much did you pay for them?
39:54I paid a poultry £40 for the pair.
39:57That's quite good.
39:58I think that's a good deal.
39:59What do you think they'll make?
40:00I think we're going to at least double our money.
40:04Well, we've got nothing to lose.
40:05It'll clear our losses, won't it?
40:07So, come on.
40:08I think it's a good thing to do.
40:09You going to go for it?
40:10We're going to go for it.
40:11All right.
40:12Well, let's see what our auctioneer, James, thinks of Nick's really rather gorgeous penguins.
40:18I think they're brilliant fun.
40:19And they're silver?
40:20Well, what's your estimate?
40:2180 to 120.
40:22Well, he spent half that.
40:24He spent £40 on them.
40:25Oh!
40:26One to watch.
40:27Definite profit.
40:30So, our auctioneer has had a look at the really rather cute little penguins, OK?
40:34Now, he has put an estimate of £80 to £120 on them.
40:39This is a good move.
40:41Let's see if these flightless birds will fly.
40:44I can start the bidding at £45, £50, £55, £60, £65.
40:50Come on.
40:51£80, £85, £90.
40:53It's gone to £100.
40:55It's gone to £110.
40:56You're in a profit!
40:58You're in a profit!
40:59£120 now.
41:00They really are good fun.
41:02£120 anywhere.
41:04Come on, they're worth another.
41:06All short and selling.
41:09£110.
41:11Brilliant!
41:13Brilliant!
41:14Brilliant!
41:15We've got happy feet!
41:18Yeah, we like that.
41:19We like that.
41:20You are out of the doldrums.
41:21They made you a profit of £70, so you are up £19.
41:25It might surprise you to learn that both you parents and children will be leaving with money.
41:38Oh, wow!
41:39Oh!
41:40I'll put you out of your misery because today's winners are...
41:47It's Lauren and Anita!
41:48Yay!
41:51Many, many congratulations.
41:53Thank you!
41:54Many congratulations.
41:55Oh, James are mad.
41:57I mean, to be honest, it wasn't going that well, really, was it?
42:01It was the jelly moles.
42:02It was the jelly moles.
42:03I think I'm going to be saying that in my sleep tonight.
42:06It was the jelly moles.
42:08But thank the Lord for your expert.
42:11Well done, Nick.
42:12Nick Hall, whose bonus buy made you a profit of £70.
42:16Which means you're leaving us today with £19 in your pocket.
42:20Fantastic.
42:21Yeah.
42:22Now, who would like the money?
42:23Better give it to the student.
42:24Really?
42:25Is that wise, Matt?
42:26I know.
42:27Oh, my goodness.
42:28OK, there's your 15.
42:29Hang on a second.
42:30I've got some more in here as well.
42:32Have you enjoyed it?
42:33Brilliant.
42:34It's been a great day.
42:35Good.
42:36Shall we chat to these winners over here?
42:37Wow.
42:38Lauren and Anita.
42:39I mean, what a masterclass.
42:40Well, you did lose on your first lot, but then you made a profit on your second lot,
42:43and then your bowl.
42:44So, they ended their lots at £170 up.
42:48You decided not to go with the bonus buy, which was very wise.
42:52You didn't need me.
42:53I should go over here.
42:56So, you are leaving us today with £170.
43:00I'll take it.
43:01There we go, Lauren.
43:03That is all yours.
43:04Very well deserved.
43:05Congratulations.
43:07Thank you very much.
43:08We've loved having you as part of the show.
43:09Have you enjoyed it?
43:10Yes, it's been really good.
43:11Good.
43:12Now, if you think you can do as well as our teams today, then don't forget you can apply
43:15to come on the show via our website, or why not give us a follow on social media.
