00:01The Moors are alive with the sound of money.
00:04£1,300 it is. Anybody in the room?
00:07Just give them a nudge in the ribs, ladies.
00:09Because our favourite auctioneer is back with a bang.
00:14Angus's customers are happier than ever.
00:19And the jobs are bigger than ever.
00:22At the end of the rainbow, there's might be some treasure.
00:25With the help and support...
00:27..of his talented team...
00:30I think it's in need of a bit of a tune.
00:32..he's taking on even more jam-packed homes.
00:35There's a lot, isn't there?
00:36..finding priceless treasures...
00:38Oh, my word. It's a box of gold. This is fantastic.
00:41..fascinating curios...
00:43How heavy is it?
00:44Not too bad.
00:46..cherished collections...
00:48End of an era?
00:49Oh.
00:50Didn't really expect to get emotional then.
00:52..and family heirloos.
00:54Could that go to auction? That could go.
00:56Oh, you've made my day. Thank you very much.
00:58..then, using his knowledge and expertise...
01:01..what the highest orders of gallantry there is.
01:03..and his gift of the gavel...
01:05..at 1,550.
01:07You look tempted, sir. You do.
01:09..he delivers a fantastic...
01:11..2,000 pounds.
01:13..cash...
01:15..all done at 4,000.
01:17Ooh!
01:18..bonanza.
01:20I like it when it goes up like that.
01:30This is obviously Danish silver, it's very well hallmarked.
01:34The team's busy processing items for an auction in five weeks' time.
01:38That's well-made, isn't it?
01:39It is well-made, yeah.
01:40Great pieces always sell well.
01:41But more treasures will be piling up soon.
01:44Angus is off on another job.
01:47Right, Jack.
01:48Well, we're going down to Shropshire.
01:50I think you're going to enjoy today.
01:51Hi, what's up?
01:52Is it toys, then?
01:53It is.
01:54What toys are really cool that adults can play with?
01:56Well, I would argue every toy, but I'm going to hazard Lego.
02:00Lego, yes.
02:01A huge Lego collection.
02:03And well worth travelling the 150 miles to Market Drayton for.
02:08Toys are serious business in Angus's trade.
02:12It has sort of taken over the house a little bit, hasn't it?
02:15Yeah.
02:16Yeah, it's taken over a lot.
02:17I don't know what we're going to fill it with once it's all gone.
02:19The boys are visiting ex-army chef Scott and his wife, Selina.
02:24I met Scott on the internet.
02:26Scott was in Afghanistan at the time.
02:29And then, I think it was a month later, you'd said,
02:33oh, I'm coming back.
02:34I met for a coffee and we just hit it off immediately.
02:38That was in 2012.
02:40He and Selina set up home and married ten years later.
02:44Haven't looked back since, really, have we?
02:46No, no.
02:47The three-bedroom home they share is, as Angus knows,
02:51home to tonnes of Lego.
02:53There's a lot in the house.
02:54I've even got to the stage where I've bought more sets
02:56than I've got space to put them.
02:58I have started to feel a bit overwhelmed.
03:02Scott's hobby really took off when Abby, his daughter from an earlier marriage,
03:07was born in 1996.
03:09The day after she was born, we were told that she had a congenital heart condition.
03:13At six months old, she went in for surgery.
03:16And...
03:21The next morning, she had a cardiac arrest.
03:24So that left her with cerebral palsy.
03:26Her hips didn't form properly and her spine became curved.
03:31She can move her head but her back is fixed in place now.
03:34She has to literally think of every single movement she's making.
03:37So a lot of the time when Abby said there's always a member of the care team,
03:41she's an absolute star, she really is.
03:43She's such a lovely girl.
03:44She just...so funny.
03:48When she was about three, she'd have this tub of cotton reels,
03:51all different colours, and she'd sit there for hours
03:53just putting them in and out of different tubs.
03:55And I thought, let's get some Lego.
03:58And it was a way of us spending time together constructively,
04:01building things and having fun.
04:04Now in her twenties, Abby has her own place,
04:07but stays at Dad's every weekend.
04:10I keep saying to Abby, Abby,
04:11are you okay if I get rid of it?
04:12And she's like, yeah, yeah.
04:14She's kind of over it, really.
04:16Her world's all about her dogs.
04:17She loves taking the dogs out.
04:19When the carers are trying to do things in the bedroom
04:21and they're sort of knocking into things,
04:23and it is quite limited for space in there now.
04:26The Lego has to be let go.
04:28I really wanted to get Angus on board
04:30because I love what he does
04:32and I think doing it in one fell swoop, as they say,
04:36will, you know, rip the sticking plaster off.
04:41Oh, there it is.
04:44There we go, we're in. We're in.
04:49Right.
04:50Morning.
04:52Morning.
04:53Hi.
04:54Thanks. This is Selena, the better half.
04:55Hi.
04:57Come on in, gents. You're more welcome.
04:58Cheers. Thank you very much.
05:01Come on in to the front room, guys.
05:03This is the start of the collection.
05:05You mentioned on the phone you had a bit of a lag.
05:07Yeah.
05:08I've got quite a bit to show you,
05:09so if you want to make a start.
05:10Brilliant.
05:11Jack, do you want to get some boxes and stuff right here?
05:12I think we're going to need a few.
05:13Brilliant.
05:14Right, lead on, Scott.
05:15The first stop is, of course...
05:17Come and have a look at what's in Abby's room.
05:20Oh!
05:21Yeah.
05:22Wow!
05:23This is a whole towel.
05:24You can see what the issue is, though,
05:25when Abby's in, we've got the hoist here for getting in and out of bed.
05:28Yes.
05:29Turning the wheelchair round,
05:30kind of need to make some space.
05:32Yeah.
05:33It's a practical step, isn't it?
05:34Yeah, it is.
05:35The two of you must have spent hours together doing this.
05:38Absolutely.
05:39It was all about us building together.
05:40And that must have been a really great sort of bonding.
05:42Yeah, really good.
05:43Leave me to it, Scott.
05:44Will do.
05:45We'll get it sorted.
05:46Right, I'll let you crack on.
05:48A quarter of all LEGO sold is to adults.
05:51Are you a fan, Angus?
05:53There'll be one in here somewhere.
05:55There we go.
05:57There is a proper LEGO brick, this modular form.
06:01But it wasn't always plastic.
06:03The company was founded in 1932 by Olly Kirk Christiansen,
06:08a Danish carpenter.
06:10All his early toys were made of wood,
06:13but the Second World War made wood difficult to source.
06:17It was in the late 40s that injection moulding came in
06:20and we saw it change onto these plastic sets.
06:23In 1947, Christiansen bought a plastic injection moulding machine.
06:29It enabled his team to design and manufacture the company's first interlockable units.
06:35The toy, as we know it, was born.
06:38We are in a new golden age of LEGO.
06:41You can get everything you can possibly imagine in LEGO.
06:44We have disabled LEGO pieces.
06:46So I think they really have captured every audience possible.
06:50So Nick will go through all of this back at the sale room
06:53and sort it out into lots.
06:55Nick is the auction house's resident toys specialist.
06:59He's going to be busy.
07:00Abi's room alone contains 60 sets.
07:03It's going to be a lot of lots, so it's hard really to put a value on it at the moment.
07:07You all right, Jack? Yeah, not bad.
07:10I don't think this is going to be as bad as you think.
07:13We can literally take them as a unit, drop them into a box.
07:16They're fairly solid.
07:17Not too much playing with them, Jack.
07:19Of course not.
07:30Look at that.
07:31I mean, it just takes you into a magical world.
07:33There's probably not many buildings more famous
07:36than the Taj Mahal in Agra in India.
07:39It's a construction site in 1632, finished in 1648.
07:43It's incredible.
07:44This model was part of the Creator Expert series of LEGO
07:49for advanced builders and came out in 2017.
07:52It's huge at over 5,900 pieces.
07:56The biggest yet is the art world map with over 11,000.
08:01These sets are popular.
08:03In their original boxes, they do do more
08:05because part of the joy with LEGO is actually constructing it.
08:09Nevertheless, what a great thing.
08:11It's almost like a modern-day piece of sculpture.
08:14We'll sell this on its own as a stand-alone lot.
08:17I would estimate this at somewhere between 50 and 80 pounds.
08:20That will definitely find a good home.
08:22This brings back some memories.
08:25Trust Angus to spot former army chef Scott's old service dress.
08:30Oh, you all right?
08:31Yeah.
08:32This is it to go.
08:33Yeah.
08:34Looking at the ribbons.
08:35Iraq.
08:36Yeah, so we've got Northern Ireland first.
08:38Yeah.
08:39Iraq, Afghan, Jubilee.
08:41Got the long sausage and good custard, as chefs used to call it.
08:44So the LS and GC, long service and good condo.
08:46So when were you in Iraq then?
08:482005.
08:49Same time I was there.
08:50Wow.
08:51Yeah.
08:52That's pretty mad, isn't it?
08:53You'd probably cook for me at some point, yeah.
08:54But time for it to go.
08:56Yeah, to be fair, well, I've outgrown it.
08:58Right, I'll get that on my van and we'll see what we can do on that.
09:02Just a little bit too big to get two in, I think.
09:07It's not going to go in there at the moment.
09:11Isn't that wonderful?
09:13Now, most people call this a union jack.
09:15Well, technically, it's not a union jack.
09:17It's a union flag.
09:19The union jack is when it's mounted on a flagpole,
09:21usually traditionally in the Navy or at the back of the ship.
09:24It's a proper one.
09:25It's cotton and this has all been stitched.
09:27It's not printed onto one piece of fabric.
09:30It's actually made up with multiple layers of material.
09:34Angus is also adding in four flag-themed cushions.
09:40All right, Jack, what have you found?
09:43One of my favourite areas.
09:45Gaming.
09:46I knew it.
09:47You and your games consoles.
09:48What is it?
09:49Nintendo GameCube.
09:50What sort of date are we talking about?
09:51Early 2000s.
09:52Sixth generation console.
09:53Sixth generation started in 1998 and it ended in around 2013.
09:58There's also the era of the Sega Dreamcast, PlayStation 2
10:01and the Microsoft Xbox as well.
10:03And these consoles focus more on online gaming and better graphics.
10:07We're currently in the ninth generation of consoles now.
10:09It's all nostalgia, isn't it?
10:10People buying back the cool things.
10:11Did you ever have a GameCube?
10:13No.
10:14I've got original Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Series X.
10:17I got rid of my Series 1.
10:18And then I've got a PS5, PS4.
10:20I did used to have PSP and Game Boys, but I got rid of them.
10:23Jack, do you think you need to go out more?
10:25Probably do.
10:26Yeah, OK.
10:27We're probably not looking at fortunes, are we?
10:29Price off the top of my head, 50 to 80.
10:32Nice.
10:33It's all totting up.
10:35I'm not overly worried about how much it generates.
10:38I just want to be able to take Abby and her dogs for a pamper and a treat.
10:42We want to do a brilliant job today and raise as much money as we can.
10:47It's about really giving Scott's daughter, Abby, a treat
10:50and rearranging things, making life a little bit easier.
10:53And, you know, Scott actually cooked for me when I was out in Iraq.
10:56You know, we're there at the same time, both ex-Army,
10:58so, yeah, I've got to look after him.
11:01Good man.
11:03You know, I'm not up on ladies' fashion over much,
11:05but these are Radley ones, because they have a little Scotty dog.
11:09And there's a few in your team of specialist valuers
11:12who'll be all over those.
11:14Desert beats.
11:15Oh, that's what we had in Iraq, just like that.
11:17But there's no doubt the biggest part of the job is Lego.
11:21There's a lunar landing module.
11:24Just, just too wide.
11:26And a French bistro. Ooh la la.
11:29There literally is every scene you can think of.
11:32With over 200 models and sets, plus other treasures,
11:36it's going to be a cataloguing marathon back at base.
11:41So, gents, if that's it, we'd better head home.
11:44I think we're all done. Yeah, perfect.
11:46Right, come on through.
11:49Oh.
11:51Oh, my word.
11:52That's quite a difference, isn't it?
11:54It's going to be a lot more user-friendly, isn't it?
11:55Yeah, definitely.
11:56The care team are going to be happy,
11:57and that, you know, that was the main reason
11:59for getting you guys to come in brilliantly.
12:00Wonderful.
12:01Well, I'll hit the road, and I'll see you on sale then.
12:02Thanks very much.
12:03OK. Thanks, Tony. Cheers.
12:04Thanks, Tony. Cheers, Angus. Bye.
12:06It's very poignant, actually.
12:07There was a lot of time and effort went into building the sets,
12:10but I'm looking forward to the auction,
12:11and I kind of hope people get as much fun out of them
12:13as Abi and I have had.
12:16I think Scotty and Selina are happy.
12:18We've created a lot of space there,
12:20so it's all positive, and we look forward to sale, though.
12:24Let's leg it with this Lego back to Kirby Moorside.
12:28I can't wait to see how big a fund you can build
12:31for this well-deserving family.
12:33Let's take a look.
12:34I know.
12:36Hi, Owen. Are you all right?
12:37Yeah, good.
12:38Back at Kirby Moorside,
12:39the cargo from Scott and Selina's house is unloaded,
12:54so it can be catalogued in time for auction day.
12:57day I always think it's great when a handbag has an outer back honestly I
13:01know very little about handbags don't worry Ewan Charlotte and Millie do we
13:06have three leather Radley bags here again I used to own one of these when I
13:11was about 13 years old and they were the absolute rage it's an English brand
13:15isn't it it was founded in London but the owners actually Australian so she's
13:19called Noel harder and she started it in the 1980s yeah her cousin came back
13:24from India with some leather bags and she actually sold these bags at a stall on
13:28Camden market when the company first started out they didn't have these
13:31Westies on them in the 90s John Lewis started to carry these bags and it
13:35became synonymous with the brand the genuine leather the stitching looks good
13:39quality the three Radleys will be offered with two matching dust bags plus one
13:45other quality handbag I always remember my grandma having a Radley bag it's quite
13:49funny how like everyone's grandma has a Radley bag but I had one when I was 13
13:52well I think those can be really fashionable 13-year-olds maybe not
13:56so much
14:02it's a bakery the lion's share of Scott's Hall is Lego there's a load of these
14:09modular buildings street scene sets that we've got here and they've been around

22:12right meli got a long drive ahead of us
22:18how far
22:20London
22:22very far
22:24aww poor angus
22:26we all know how much you hate driving into
22:28and around London
22:30but you know what they say
22:31the streets are paved with gold
22:33this next job
22:34is going to be an interesting one
22:46angus is heading to south east London
22:48yeah five hours but we're south of the river
22:51and the royal borough of Greenwich
22:54what is it meant to be like a perfume bottle
22:56incense
22:57today's appointment is with perry and her daughter dina
23:00where'd you get this from
23:02it was like a ornament shop
23:04i born in iraq baghdad
23:07and i got married there
23:09so my husband because he's a doctor
23:11so he wanted to be a specialist
23:13so we came here
23:15but then we couldn't go back home
23:18because the war started with iran
23:21the war began in 1980
23:24and lasted eight brutal and bitter years
23:28i wanted to go home because that was my home
23:31but after all my family they died there
23:35my children grow up here go to school
23:39so this is my home now
23:41and a very smart home it is too
23:45filled to the brim with things
23:47i started collecting ages ago
23:50so i used to go to the auction house
23:53some antiques shops
23:55and it's getting bigger and bigger every time
23:58if we go to a charity shop
24:00you'll find something in the corner
24:02that someone hasn't noticed
24:04and the same goes for clothes trinkets and jewelry
24:07i love victorian time
24:10my drawing room is full of style of victorian time
24:14i think the mixed kind of antique victorian art deco
24:18and kind of arabic middle eastern styles
24:20i love it
24:21i can see you're a passionate collector perry
24:25so tell us why the call to angus
24:28i've been diagnosed with breast cancer
24:33and they removed that small lump from my breast
24:38since then her health has been just generally poor
24:41and she hasn't got as much energy
24:43of course it was a shock
24:45and i have to deal with it every day
24:48my daughter she got married
24:51my son he finished his education
24:54and he got married
24:55so everybody got their own places
24:58me and my husband we separated
25:00and so i'm here by myself in this house
25:04it's time for me to change
25:06to declutter
25:08have my bucket wish list
25:10to materialize that
25:12i don't want to leave it after i have gone
25:18so it's better to do it now
25:20and find people who are interested in it
25:23maybe they love it as much as i loved it
25:26i can't think of a better reason to call on our angus
25:30could be interesting
25:32i think there's a mixed selection
25:34smalls
25:35there might be some furniture
25:36yeah we'll see how we get on
25:38so i think it's just up here
25:40double drive very handy
25:42we love a drive
25:44all right i think that'll do us
25:46good morning
25:56you all right
25:57yeah
25:58i brought millie down with us today
26:00hi millie
26:01please come in
26:02thank you thank you very much
26:03millie after you
26:08it's wonderful to be here
26:09and how is it that we can help
26:11if you could help us to sell some of the stuff here
26:15we'll be grateful
26:16there's just too much stuff
26:17okay
26:18my mum could do with a hand
26:19you feel it's time to sort of have a bit of a fin out
26:22definitely yes
26:23i have something interesting to show you
26:26would you like to come with me
26:27certainly yeah
26:28yeah
26:29you've got that five hour drive back to yorkshire ahead of you remember
26:33better get cracking
26:35oh wow so all your jewellery
26:37if you could give me some value on it
26:40well i mean there's one thing that jumps out straight away
26:42this is nice
26:43yeah this is a necklace
26:45very delicate
26:46i think this is victorian as well
26:48we'll get our uh
26:49charlotte jewellery lady to go over those
26:52yeah
26:53the stones in this pendant necklace with matching drop earrings aren't precious
26:57but the chain and earring backs are 18 carat gold
27:02you've got a cocktail watch there
27:03yeah this is my favourite one
27:05it has a special place in my heart
27:07because my mum she used to have a watch like it and it's been lost
27:12so i wanted some replica for it
27:15i loved it and because it's gold 18 carat
27:18yes
27:19and the diamonds around it
27:22the diamonds around yeah
27:23there are 36 small diamonds embedded in the gold
27:26and that's in contrast with what we call a champagne coloured dial
27:31and a plated mesh bracelet
27:33i mean it's a lovely thing i think you go between three and four thousand pounds
27:37so passion for jewellery but time to let it go
27:41it is
27:42you've been here two minutes and literally struck gold angus
27:46wonderful leave me to it
27:47thank you
27:48okay no worries
27:49i wonder what millie's up to
27:51oh it looks nice
27:52yeah very nice
27:53little um fob watch but it looks like it's
27:56yeah so it's been made as a it can be worn as a brooch as well
27:59yeah
28:00i love enamel work it's powdered glass
28:02yeah
28:03it's coloured
28:04and so it's heated at extremely high temperatures
28:07and you get this glossy kind of enamel so it almost feels like a ceramic to some extent
28:12but it it's technically it's glass
28:15when enamel is set into a metal framework to form a design it's known as closonet meaning partitioned
28:23Perry's fob watch is swiss and marked 1908
28:27it contains ten bright cut diamonds and the bar is 14 carat gold
28:32probably like victorian edwardian i would have thought
28:36something that beautiful should be worn as a piece of jewelry i think
28:39get that back to the cell room
28:40yeah
28:41wow wee this is totting up
28:43what's the plan for any money you raise Perry
28:46i would love to go to cruise yeah i love cruise and this is one of my bucket wish
28:52bucket list
28:53how fabulous a cruise but they don't come cheap angus we need more lots
28:59stumps who'd have thought stamps would be so heavy let's see what we've got
29:08interestingly we've got in here the full set of edward the eighth stamps
29:14but there wasn't many edward the eighth stamps that was because edward the eighth abdicated
29:19he didn't even do a full year on the throne
29:21when king george v died in 1936 his eldest son became edward the eighth
29:28but he stepped aside eleven months into his reign so just four new stamps were issued in his honor
29:35many people saved them so they aren't all that valuable what else is there angus
29:40this is kind of early 20th century so george the fifth era but it's more commonwealth countries
29:47and some of those can be collectible and quite expensive particularly if it's a very small place there was a small run done
29:54sadly no rarities here
29:57i think this is probably a collection that we sold as a whole with tens of pounds essentially over the hundred pound mark
30:06the stamps will be sold in a mixed lot with coins and other assorted memorabilia not a mind-blowing lot then shame i was getting excited
30:16it is a very traditional collector's area whether it will continue with the new generation i don't know
30:25ah well let's get them on the van perhaps there are some valuables in the garage
30:30i think we can pretty much take anything we like
30:33this is a moorish style cafe table
30:37it's more awkward than having
30:39with matching chairs
30:40but they're cool
30:42and this rococo style gilt mirror
30:45oh steady what are we doing
30:47plus a glass topped part gilded coffee table with curved oak supports
30:53okay wonderful
30:55so what might be lurking in the loft
30:59well these are nice
31:01but there's no time to get as snug as a bug in a
31:05keeling rug
31:07when we say keeling rug we're really referring to the the type of weave
31:13so when you turn the rug over it's the same finish
31:16rather than a traditional rug the underside is coarse and the top sides fluffy
31:21known for millennia across north africa and throughout the east keelings were woven to decorate homes but also to wear and even to shroud the dead
31:32so very popular either thrown over a sofa a floor covering you can create a real impact in a room
31:39they sell well the decent keeling rug could be one to two hundred there's a few here great colors great great things
31:45three cheers for last minute treasure
31:49thank you
31:51ah
31:52well i think we're all loaded up aren't we millie
31:55oh wow it's quite a lot of stuff isn't it
31:57great job
31:58i think we're there
31:59how are you feeling now things are
32:00oh i'm already feel lighter
32:02yeah
32:03good
32:04well we will get it all back
32:06and cast logs
32:08and hopefully we can get
32:10two cruise tickets
32:11great
32:12great
32:13thanks so much guys
32:14thank you so much
32:15thank you so much
32:16thank you so much
32:17thank you very much
32:18you take care
32:19it's sad because that stage of my life which is uh i was interested in buying things
32:23it's gone on but now i'm glad it's going to somebody else
32:29we've got some lovely rugs we've got some other jewelry that's good uh interesting smalls uh and we've we've got a few nice middle eastern pieces it's a very interesting mix loads and i'm hoping we can get enough that's going to cover the two of them to go on a cruise
32:44well your next port of call is kirby moorside where you'll have your work cut out trying to raise enough cash for that it certainly won't be plain sailing
32:59hi millie hi
33:13perry's treasures have arrived safely in kirby moorside
33:17it's just bronzy mirror isn't it
33:20good word
33:21and it's far from being the only showy thing in the van jeremy
33:25that's quite a stylish thing isn't it
33:29is that everything jeremy
33:31yep that's it
33:32the greenwich hall contains over a hundred individual items to research certify and value in time for the auction in a fortnight's time
33:43coffee time is it jeremy
33:45absolutely of course
33:46it's always coffee time
33:47it feels like we're in a little turkish cafe or sort of middle eastern isn't it
33:50yeah sort of moorish
33:51moorish as in the style of the muslim rulers of southern spain from the 8th to the 15th century
33:57not as in tasty although they are very tempting
34:01the styles haven't changed for centuries probably have they
34:04no
34:05this is a 20th century one it makes a nice decorative piece you know with the brass a lot of design work
34:10that used to be the thing didn't it they used to use this parketry
34:13parketry is the art of creating decorative strictly geometric design in whole pieces of wood often in contrasting colors and grains as in parquet flooring
34:25very decorative you know a lot of design work in middle eastern sort of
34:30stylized flowers aren't they very typical isn't it
34:32we've got a sort of a combination of techniques haven't we sort of embossing this raised out so it's the patterns pushed through from underneath and then engraving where it's cut into the metal isn't it
34:42yeah
34:43the table will be offered with three moorish style stools and a chair
34:47well they're lovely but you know we're not talking huge amounts of money are we
34:50of course 80 to 120
34:52i think so it's ideal for somebody doing a little cafe or something like that that just wants a little sort of feature piece
34:57it's a coffee pot and a milk jug
35:02okay
35:03Millie's sharing one of her greenwich pines
35:05a design by robert welch a famous mid-century designer they're really interesting design aren't they almost like space age style he had his own company but he worked quite closely with old hall who had like their own stainless steel range and they were quite well known for stainless steel right from the 20s
35:21midlands manufacturers old hall made tableware for 80 years from 1904 these are robert welch's own creations i mean they're very mid-century in a very classic sort of mid-century way the
35:34the handle and the finial are both made from teak so they're going into a lot of general metalware but these are like the style piece i think and what will sell that lot so i put 50 to 70 on the lot
35:45speaking of tea and coffee fancy one
35:47ah yes please
35:48i'm guessing coffee
35:49coffee please
35:50ah a bit of tea for me
35:51all right
35:52excited about the auction yeah
36:01perry and dina have made the five-hour trek from greenwich to yorkshire
36:06wow
36:08bigger than i thought
36:09ah this is the clean carpet
36:11do you think you'll be sad to see all this stuff go
36:13part of me yes and part of me i'm happy because i'm a lighter now
36:18oh look
36:19there's
36:20stamps
36:21i bought it for my son
36:22it's just sort of gathering dust it's good that we're gonna sell it i think
36:29and this watch

36:58well that's probably the star item isn't it

37:25so i think we should get a few good results but it might be a day of mixed results
37:29what about the star lot
37:32the cocktail watch i would like to leave a reserve so it can reach the amount which i paid in the first place for it
37:40oh dear that's a four grand reserve angus
37:44might be a bit of a stretch to get that it's probably round about three thousand is probably where it's at
37:49uh but we'll see we'll we'll do our best
