00:10Welcome to What's in the Box.
00:13In Dev's box of old things are old toys, a gold chain, opera glasses.
00:18Well, they got the real deal.
00:22Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
00:30Hello and welcome to the show.
00:52I'm David Dickinson, the Duke, and this, of course, is the Real Deal.
00:56Now, today, the show is coming to you from the Royal Armouries at Leeds.
01:02It is absolutely fantastic.
01:04Our sellers are here. Our dealers are here.
01:07I'm ready for a bit of battling. Are you ready?
01:11Yay!
01:12Today could be a comedy of errors.
01:14You're not smiling. Keep going.
01:16Do you think Timmy could do better? Definitely.
01:19As things take a Shakespearean turn in the den.
01:22Most of Shakespeare's work is here in miniature.
01:24What have thou put on the table, fair men?
01:28And if cash be the food of love?
01:30I think it's a whiz-bang object.
01:33Pay up.
01:34I'm not going to dilly-dally.
01:36£600 on the table.
01:37Well, actually, she's going to have some more.
01:39Let's hope all's well that ends well.
01:42£10,000.
01:44Absolutely amazing.
01:45I'm in David's good books.
01:47If I don't buy this, I am going to run down the street naked.
01:52Let's do the Real Deal.
01:53We're ready to get started.
01:59How are you feeling, dealers?
02:01I've never been to Leeds before, so it's wonderful to be here.
02:04There's lots of lovely people coming to see us.
02:07Simon, how about you?
02:09Didn't sleep very well last night, tossing and turning,
02:11thinking about spending all those lovely £50 notes.
02:14Kept me awake, gave me the terrors.
02:16Let's ease you in gently, then, with a big name we think you'll like.
02:19I love the name Cartier.
02:21See, Christine, how many of those £50 notes that have been keeping Simon awake do you want?
02:27I'd like, really, £100.
02:29Ready for this, Simon?
02:30I'm going to do my best.
02:32I think there might be a bit of profit in these if I can buy them for the right money.
02:36And that is?
02:37£80 to £100 each, something like that.
02:40Things are looking good, Christine.
02:43So, Christine, are you a smoker?
02:46Nope.
02:46Never have been.
02:47Well, obviously, somehow you have come into possession of two lighters.
02:51Yes.
02:51These were my dad's.
02:53Right.
02:53And your dad was a smoker, I'd say.
02:54He was.
02:55Cigars.
02:56So, why did he need two lighters?
02:58I don't know.
02:59Greedy.
03:00Was it just something you collected?
03:02Yeah, he was a bit of a wheeler-dealer, really.
03:04He liked to buy job lots of things.
03:07So, did you grow up in that sort of environment where...
03:09Sort of, yeah.
03:09..where things were coming in and out?
03:11Yeah, my kids have grown up in a similar environment.
03:14You know, one day there's a sofa, the next day it's gone.
03:17Yeah.
03:17No, not quite as bad as that.
03:20Obviously, there's a very, very nice name attached to them.
03:23Yeah.
03:24Carche was French, and I believe he opened his first shop in London
03:27at the beginning of the 1900s, 1902.
03:30And it is a luxury brand.
03:32Most people probably immediately think of either watches or jewellery
03:35because that's probably what they're best known for now.
03:38But what you've got here, you've got two lighters.
03:41I guess, do you roughly know how old they are?
03:44I would think they were 70s.
03:45They're both gas lighters,
03:48but they've got a traditional flint movement.
03:51They're not solid gold.
03:53They are what's known as gold plate,
03:55but they are heavy-plated gold.
03:57This one's from the 70s.
03:59Maybe that one, a little bit older, possibly.
04:03This one's got more of a sort of horizontal pattern on it.
04:07I think this one could be from the 60s.
04:09And I think if we take this out,
04:11you've got some spare flints
04:13and the actual canisters that you use to fill them up with.
04:17So it's really been kept in very, very good order.
04:20They're nice things.
04:22So if you did manage to sell them today,
04:24what would you do with any funds that you owe?
04:26I'm going to put it towards a new golf club.
04:28A new golf club?
04:29Yeah, you need a new driver.
04:31You need a new driver.
04:32I think they're quite expensive, aren't they?
04:34They are, yes.
04:34Yeah, I was afraid of that.
04:37Well, look, let me put a bit of money down.
04:40I've got a rough idea what I think these are worth.
04:43There's two of them,
04:44so they're worth more than £50, aren't they?
04:46I think for your two lighters,
04:49I would like to offer you £100,
04:51£150,
04:54£220.
05:01What do you think about that?
05:03I think you could squeeze a bit more.
05:06Let's see what David thinks about that offer,
05:08that wonderful offer.
05:09Nice to see you, Simon.
05:10Nice to see you, David.
05:11He's looking younger.
05:13I was going to say that.
05:15It's always good for getting the prize.
05:17OK, my experts say £50 to £80,
05:21£1 to £150.
05:23I reckon they're probably worth £100 apiece,
05:27something like that.
05:28You've got £220.
05:30I've had a couple recently, actually,
05:32and I think they're worth about £125.
05:34Normally I have to coax Simon for a bit more money,
05:38but he's a good boy today.
05:39I think that's a good prize.
05:41Cash, no deduction from the auction.
05:44Simon, you did do well.
05:47There you go.
05:48Christine, £220.
05:50It's my maiden bid,
05:51and it's going to be my lowest bid as well,
05:54because I think it's very fair.
05:55But I'd like you to get your new driver.
05:57Are you prepared to accept my offer?
05:59I will, Simon. It's a very fair offer.
06:01Share my hand. Thank you.
06:02Thank you very much for coming in today,
06:03and it'll be on the course, no doubt.
06:06Yeah.
06:07Thank you very much for doing.
06:09More than double what you wanted, Christine.
06:11Really pleased to meet Simon today.
06:13He was more than generous.
06:14I got the real deal.
06:16I think I probably could have bought those
06:17for a little bit less, if I'm being perfectly honest,
06:19but I still think there's a little bit of profit left in them.
06:23And what's more, I'm in David's good books.
06:25That won't last long.
06:26Talking of good books,
06:32we've seen our fair share here in the den,
06:35of all shapes and sizes.
06:37Oh!
06:38But never this small, Pam.
06:40I brought along a collection of Shakespeare miniature books.
06:44How much did you pay?
06:46It was a bargain at £15.
06:48I couldn't believe that you could get a Shakespeare book
06:50in such a small space.
06:52Forsooth the good lady fae of Walsall comes this way.
06:56You into Shakespeare, fae?
06:57I've never partaken in a Shakespearean play.
07:01I wonder if Pam has.
07:03My good lady Pam of Leeds.
07:05I do like Midsummer Night's Dream
07:06because I played a fairy in that, in a school play.
07:11I didn't have any lines, but I played the spoons.
07:13Spoons?
07:14I can't say I've seen that version.
07:17How much do you want for them?
07:18If I can get £50, £60, that'd be a good investment.
07:24Hello, Pam.
07:25Hi, Faye.
07:26How are you today?
07:27Very good, thank you.
07:28It's nice to be here.
07:29How long have you owned these leather books for?
07:31For about 20 years.
07:32I was on holiday in Plymouth
07:34and we went to a tabletop sale and there they were
07:37and I liked the look of them
07:38because they're so quirky and interesting.
07:40They are quirky and interesting, aren't they?
07:42There's 40 of them.
07:43I did a little bit of research
07:44just before I came and sat down with you
07:46and it looks to me as if the full collection
07:50of Shakespeare's plays are actually on this table.
07:53I think so, yeah, I agree.
07:55I'm going to just pick one up and have a little look at this.
08:00Crikey, they're so tiny.
08:01How on earth does anybody read these?
08:04I guess they're not really meant to be read, are they?
08:06They're just a bit quirky.
08:08You couldn't sit and read these every night, could you?
08:10Let me have a look.
08:12I can't even read the front cover.
08:14Which one?
08:15Oh, it's my favourite one here.
08:17Midsummer Night's Dream.
08:18That's my favourite.
08:19Is that your favourite too?
08:20Yes, uh-huh.
08:21So what made you bring them along today?
08:23Why have you decided to sell them?
08:25Well, I'm here with my sister who's over from Cyprus
08:28and she wanted to come and she talked me into coming along with her
08:31and I thought, oh, I know, I'll get these out of the loft
08:34and see if they might be of interest.
08:36They are very interesting, aren't they?
08:38Yeah.
08:38And they seem in reasonably nice condition.
08:41There's a little bit of curling of one there.
08:42I'm trying to work out an age of these as well.
08:47I would imagine they could be 1910 to 1920.
08:51That sounds about right, yeah.
08:52So if I did happen to buy them, have you got any plans for the money?
08:55Well, I have, but it's not the amount that you're going to be offering me
08:59because I'm going to be buying a place in France,
09:01so I might buy me a brick or two.
09:04Yeah, possibly.
09:04I was thinking, a house in France, how much money does this woman want?
09:08Exactly.
09:09I'm sure there's a market for them somewhere.
09:13What am I going to put down for these?
09:17OK.
09:18£10.
09:23£15.
09:27£20.
09:29I don't think so.
09:32£25.
09:34Keep going.
09:36Keep going.
09:36Yeah, please.
09:37Do you think David might be a fan of Shakespearean plays?
09:41He seems like the type, doesn't he?
09:43He does seem like the type.
09:44David, David, wherefore art thou, David?
09:46To buy or not to buy?
09:48That is the question.
09:51Now, most of Shakespeare's work is here in miniature.
09:54You haven't got the bookcase.
09:56No.
09:56Though a simple bookcase, it's usually like a little trestle,
10:00could be made to put these on.
10:01Absolutely, yeah.
10:02£40 to £60 is the estimate.
10:04What have thou put on the table for men?
10:10Oh, I've got £25 on the table.
10:13This world has given me no joy.
10:15OK.
10:16Not enough, I don't think.
10:17To be honest with you, I think this would do well in auction.
10:20I don't know how much, but there are always a lot of private people out there
10:24who think they like to read Shakespeare and they know all the works of Shakespeare.
10:28Well, you can buy all the works of Shakespeare now.
10:31I'm going to suggest, unless more money is put down,
10:34I think it's worth a gamble, because I suspect we might get someone there.
10:38Lovely, yep.
10:39So you don't have to buy it.
10:41Hmm.
10:41No.
10:42OK?
10:42OK.
10:43Thank you, David.
10:45There we go.
10:45Well, I think David has got the best advice for you here.
10:49Yeah.
10:49This is a little bit out of my remit.
10:52Fair enough.
10:52Um, I'm not going to put any more money on the table for that reason.
10:56Yeah.
10:56Are you going to take the money, or are you going to auction?
10:59I think I'll take David's advice and take them to our auction.
11:02It'll be a bit of fun, if nothing else.
11:04I'm glad you brought them along, because they're great.
11:06I am as well.
11:06And, um, yeah, I hope you do really well with them.
11:08Thank you very much.
11:11I thought that was a little bit mean,
11:13but it is difficult to put a good value on these items.
11:17I'm quite happy with going to auction.
11:19Who knows, I might make a little bit more money.
11:21I have a feeling I've missed out on something good there.
11:25I think they might do really well at auction.
11:27I cannot wait to see.
11:29To sell or not to sell?
11:32Let's find out if auctioneer Dominic Cox
11:34expects big things from these little books.
11:37It's a nice set.
11:39They are more of a novelty item.
11:40A bit of a shame that they don't have the sort of miniature bookshelf
11:43that a lot of them come with,
11:45but it's a complete set, and they're in reasonably good condition.
11:48How are you feeling, Pam?
11:50I'm feeling quite excited about the auction today.
11:52I've not been to this kind of auction before.
11:54I've been to a property auction, but that was very stressful.
11:57Don't worry, Pam.
11:59The Duke will look after you.
12:01Is it intimidating, or do you feel comfortable in the auction?
12:04I'm not too bad.
12:06I'm more nervous being stood next to you, David.
12:07Oh, well, you don't have to worry about that, does you?
12:10OK, Shakespeare miniature books, they're coming up now.
12:14Nearly a full set.
12:16£40 is the reserve.
12:18What are they going to fetch?
12:19I think £60 or £80.
12:21Here we go.
12:22The set of 40 miniature Shakespeare books,
12:25all 40 of them, as you see, published by Allied Newspapers Ltd.
12:29And I've got a sack of bids on these,
12:30starting on the estimate at £40.
12:33In at £40.
12:34£45.
12:34£50.
12:35£55.
12:36£60.
12:37£60 are online this time at £60.
12:39Do I see five anywhere next?
12:40£65, a fresh bit of thank you, at £65.
12:43£65.
12:44That's OK.
12:44Johnson's selling at £65.
12:46£65 under the gavel.
12:50Yeah.
12:51We, of course, have got the dreaded commission to take off.
12:54That's £54 coming home with you.
12:57Satisfied?
12:58Absolutely, yeah.
12:59I'm happy.
13:00On the real deal, that's the price, £54.
13:04Pam, anything you'd like to say to Faye?
13:06Thank you very much for your offer of £25.
13:09But here at the auction, I've more than doubled that,
13:11so that to me is the real deal.
13:14If I ever see these again for sale,
13:16I won't let them slip through my fingers next time.
13:20After the break, Tracey's favourite thing is in the den.
13:23You know I get super excited when I've got gold.
13:27£400.
13:28You're not smiling.
13:29Keep going.
13:31And it's brought out her naked ambition.
13:33If I don't buy this today,
13:35I am going to run down the street naked.
13:42Let's see how they've done.
13:43Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal from the Royal Armourers in Leeds.
14:11Before we dive back into the den,
14:13we've just got time for a quick look around.
14:16They've got everything here.
14:18Knights jousting, knights on horseback.
14:21There's even a duke.
14:23Get a load of that.
14:24Ooh!
14:26That's definitely the elephant in the room.
14:29Right, better get back to it,
14:31as there's plenty coming into the den.
14:33OK, there you go, my friend. Thank you.
14:35Now, why is our Tracey looking so pleased with herself?
14:39I've got some shiny metals on my table,
14:41and you know I get super excited when I've got gold.
14:45You do, Tracey.
14:46Seems to send you a bit doolally.
14:48If I don't buy this today,
14:50I am going to run down the street naked.
14:53Tracey!
14:53You'd better get your cash out, then,
14:57and make sure you buy it.
14:59Claire, how much will it take for Tracey to keep her clothes on?
15:03Five to six hundred.
15:05I've seen her on the telly.
15:07She likes to buy gold,
15:08so I think the sovereign could be right up Tracey's street.
15:12There's a lot happening on that street.
15:14I can see what you've brought in today,
15:18but do you want to tell me a little bit about it?
15:21It's a gold sovereign handed down to me mother from me grandmother.
15:26From your grandmother?
15:27Yes.
15:28That's lovely.
15:29You've got a 22-carat gold sovereign,
15:32and then I think this is a 9-carat gold mount,
15:35and then a 9-carat gold chain.
15:37Yeah.
15:37Have you ever worn it?
15:39I've never worn it, no.
15:40I think because the chain is a bit too thin.
15:44It's only little, isn't it?
15:45Yeah.
15:46So we've got an 1876 full sovereign there.
15:50It looks a bit upside down.
15:53Is that the year that the manufactured them upside down?
15:56Yes.
15:57Right.
15:57She said it was unusual because it was upside down,
16:01so they didn't make a lot of them.
16:02I think round about that period,
16:04for some reason they ended up upside down,
16:07but I don't really know much about it.
16:09No, we're not sure about that either.
16:11So, obviously, we've got the George and the Dragos,
16:14and then we've got the young Victoria head on the reverse.
16:19It's been handled, it's been worn on a chain,
16:21so it's not a proof coin or anything like that.
16:24So the collectors wouldn't go for it
16:26because they want them immaculate.
16:29Right.
16:29So nobody's ever wore it in your family?
16:31Your mum never wore it.
16:33Yeah, I think my mum did wear it,
16:35but I think then she put it away for safekeeping.
16:39Safekeeping.
16:40Yeah.
16:40I know, the thing is,
16:41you're always going to be scared of losing it, aren't you?
16:43That's the thing, yeah.
16:44I know.
16:45At this moment in time,
16:46they're quite fashionable, actually.
16:49Yeah.
16:49I went to a concert,
16:51and it was Plum of Faith, actually,
16:53and she was wearing one.
16:54Wearing one.
16:55So, yeah.
16:55Yeah.
16:56A couple of years ago,
16:57I just said,
16:58oh, they're not very fashionable,
16:59but at the moment,
17:00a lot of the young girls are wearing them.
17:02Yeah.
17:02So, which is a good thing for you.
17:04Yeah.
17:05Not for me,
17:05because I've got to try and buy it.
17:07Yeah.
17:08So, what are you going to do with the money
17:09if I do manage to buy it?
17:11Hopefully, give it back to mum
17:13and she can go on a holiday, maybe.
17:15Well, I'm going to put some money down on the table
17:18and hopefully buy this from you.
17:20OK.
17:21OK.
17:22I know how much this is worth to the penny.
17:25We'll see.
17:26We will.
17:27OK, so we're going to go 20,
17:2940,
17:3160,
17:3280,
17:33100,
17:3520,
17:3640,
17:3760,
17:3980,
17:40200,
17:4220,
17:4340,
17:4460,
17:4580,
17:46300,
17:4820,
17:5040,
17:5260,
17:5380,
17:55400.
17:56You're not smiling.
17:58Keep going.
17:5920,
18:0140,
18:0160,
18:0260,
18:0380,
18:045,
18:0620,
18:0740,
18:0960,
18:1080,
18:116.
18:14Now, I bet you
18:15they said between 600 and 700.
18:20So, Claire, I think we need to bring David in
18:22because I'm nearly there.
18:24Yes, let's bring David in.
18:26OK.
18:26What's on the table?
18:27600.
18:28600.
18:28600.
18:28600.
18:28600.
18:29OK.
18:29Well, I'm going to tell you, this girl, note her gold, note her jewellery,
18:35and as I often say, is as sharp as razors.
18:37Oh.
18:38But I've just been back to my independent valuers.
18:40Now, they seem to think that is a half-sovereign.
18:44You think it's a full-sovereign.
18:45I think it's full and I'm pricing it as a full.
18:47OK.
18:48Well, their valuation in bullion is about 550.
18:51You've got 600 on the table.
18:54Well, actually, she's going to have some more.
18:56So, what are you going to put down?
18:57700.
18:58That's where I'm going to be.
18:5920, 40, 60, 80, 100.
19:02Well, you can see that the seller is smiling because she doesn't need my help.
19:07Tracey's doing the job for me.
19:09She's put 700 on.
19:10I would have to say to you, get hold of that as quick as you can
19:14and get out of this building fast.
19:17So, I've given you the price that we're buying sovereigns in our shop for today
19:22and then I've calculated a little bit of the nine carat,
19:25so that's what the price includes.
19:26OK.
19:27So, I can see a smile there.
19:30Is it more than the value you did for?
19:33600 to 700.
19:34I thought it was 600 to 700.
19:36Are we doing a deal?
19:38Yeah, we've got a deal.
19:39We've got a deal.
19:40Give us your hand.
19:41Thank you, Clare.
19:44You've done well for your mum there, Clare.
19:47Yes, a lot more than I thought.
19:49Does it feel good in your hands?
19:51It feels great, but it won't be coming to me.
19:56You dodged a bullet there, Tracey.
19:59Phew!
20:00At least I don't have to run down the street naked.
20:03There's about 20, 30 quid in it, so good deal for me, good deal for Clare.
20:10Now here's your chance to win big with our huge cash competition prize.
20:15David, how much are we giving away?
20:18Wow!

21:20Don't go anywhere, because after the break, Faye is hoping to coin it in.
21:24The good thing about this collection is the fun you've had in acquiring them.
21:28You know, rubbaging in boxes and thinking, wow, I wonder if this is real treasure.
21:32And Simon blows us away.
21:34I can imagine the flame is really fierce.
21:37A 12 to 18-inch flame.
21:39It's a bit of a work of art.
21:40Who'd have thought that Simon would have bought a blowtorch?
21:44I just need the tank next.
21:45Anyone got an old Chieftain tank?
21:50Let's see how they've done.
21:52Vintage cameras. Gold jewellery.
21:56Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
22:01Let's see how they've done.
22:03Vintage cameras. Gold jewellery.
22:07Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
22:10Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal.
22:17Do you want to come along to the show and sell your goods?
22:20I've got the money.
22:21Bring along small items of value you can carry.
22:25Lovely, lovely.
22:26Don't miss out.
22:28I'll be waiting for you.
22:30Bring your valuables to our next Dealer Day on Saturday 31st January at the Sheffield Town Hall.
22:35Doors open from 8am to 5pm.
22:38Details of all our upcoming Dealer Days can be found at itv.com slash beyondtv.
22:44Right, you lot, stand by your beds as we've got some interesting military in the den.
22:52Tracy?
22:54B?
22:55Timmy?
22:56Yeah, I'm ready.
22:57Right.
22:58Simon?
22:58Oh!
22:59You caught me counting my money.
23:01Very good.
23:02As you were.
23:04Robert, fall in, please.
23:06How are you?
23:06Very well, thank you.
23:07And what have we got here, then?
23:09It's a World War II British cold winter start-up blue torch.
23:14Run that by me again.
23:15A World War II British start-up cold weather blue torch.
23:20That's what I thought you said.
23:22Hopefully I will get £50, £60 for it.
23:25Bet you're looking forward to this one, Simon.
23:27You never know what you're going to get on this show, and I haven't got a clue about what I'm doing next.
23:32Well, Robert can help you out, and it's not his first time in front of the cameras.
23:38I'm part of a living history group called the Howerphone Guard.
23:42We do re-enactments up and down the country, radio, film, TV, and we was all extras in the Dad's Army film, 2015.
23:51What was that like?
23:52It was an amazing couple of days' experience.
23:57What on earth have you bought in?
23:59That is a 1940 dated British World War II cold weather tank start-up blue torch.
24:08Wow.
24:09I don't think those words have ever come out of my mouth before in that order.
24:13I'll tell you what I think it is.
24:17I think it's what we call, generally nowadays, a man-teak.
24:22Yes.
24:22And it is a really great example of what a man-teak is, because it's the sort of thing that a lot of men would just love.
24:30Yes.
24:30Just because it's got knobs and things on.
24:32Exactly.
24:33I actually think it's a really interesting-looking thing.
24:36It's very nice-looking, yes.
24:37And it's in fantastic condition.
24:39This would be used to warm the tank of the tank up.
24:43Yes.
24:43Being diesel, it wouldn't start from, yeah, cold in the middle of winter.
24:47So I can imagine the flame, when it comes out, is really fierce.
24:5112 to 18-inch flame, yes.
24:53It's fierce.
24:54Paraffin?
24:55Yes.
24:55It's a bit of a work of art in its own right.
24:58It's beautiful, yes.
24:58I mean, British made, as you said.
25:00Yes, there is a date.
25:02It's Samuel Heath and Sons, 1940, with the broad arrow World War II British stamp on it.
25:08And it's brass, obviously.
25:09It is.
25:10What's this, iron?
25:11I would say that was cast.
25:12Cast, yeah.
25:13Yes.
25:13I guess wherever there was a tank squadron, there would be a few of these.
25:16Yes, my father was a tank driver in the Second World War, so I would imagine he would have used one of those.
25:23Wow.
25:24That's the control of the flame.
25:25That is to pump the pressure.
25:28Right.
25:28And the one nearest to you is where you pump the fuel.
25:33Everything's working.
25:34And what made you decide to bring it in today?
25:36I've got quite a lot in my collection, and it's just sitting in the fireplace, looking pretty.
25:41If I do manage to part you from this today, what would you do with the money?
25:45I promised my wife a meal out.
25:47A meal out.
25:48An expensive meal out.
25:49An expensive meal out.
25:50Yes, of course.
25:51I'd like to own this.
25:53How much is it worth?
25:55I haven't got a Scooby-Doo, but that's part of the fun of what we do, isn't it?
26:00It is.
26:01£20.
26:05£40.
26:08I don't know.
26:09I'm going to say £60.
26:12Not quite there yet.
26:14Let's see what David thinks about your...
26:17I was going to give the whole lot of the blowtorch.
26:19Thank you, Simon.
26:20Well, I'll tell you what David thinks about it.
26:23I think it's a whiz-bang object.
26:25I think it's great.
26:27The estimation is £40 to £60.
26:29I think £60 is a pretty good price.
26:33If you go to the auction, somebody has got to pay another 25% on top of the hammer.
26:39I think £60 today is a win, and I'm going to say, good offer, and if it was me, I'd accept that.
26:46Thank you, David.
26:48£60.
26:49What do you feel about that?
26:51You couldn't squeeze a tiny bit more.
26:55Well, I think I probably could.
26:57I could find a £5 note.
26:59£65 leaves me a tiny little bit of profit.
27:02It will, yes.
27:04Are you happy with that?
27:05May I shake your hand?
27:06You certainly may.
27:07Thank you so much for coming in today.
27:09I really like what you brought in today.
27:10We're going to have a lot of fun with it.
27:12Thank you very much.
27:14Happy with the deal, Robert?
27:16Unbelievable.
27:17Simon was really nice, and I got more than I wish for.
27:20I promised my wife a meal out, and hopefully this will get one.
27:24Have a wonderful meal with your wife, and thank you so much for bringing in my favourite object today.
27:29Who would have thought that Simon from Brighton would have bought a blowtorch?
27:33I thought it was a cookie, interesting item.
27:36No, I've got the tank starting blowtorch.
27:38I just need the tank next.
27:40Anyone got an old chieftain tank?
27:42We don't have a tank, but we've got a box, and it's stuffed full of cash.
27:47David, tell us about our huge competition prize.
27:50This is week four of our four-week prize draw, that gives you a chance to win a fantastic £110,000.
28:11Go to the website.
28:14Entries cost £2.
28:15Text WIN to 68123.
28:18Text cost £2 plus one standard network rate message.
28:22Or call 0906 8788123.
28:26Calls cost £2 plus your network access charge.
28:29Alternatively, post your name and phone number to DRD 1097 P.O. Box 7558 Derby DE1 0NQ.
28:38Entrance must be 18 or over.
28:40Lines close Monday, 2nd of February at 10am.
28:45Seems like the good people of Leeds are having a right good clear-out today.
28:49I said to my husband, just take photographs, and he said, no, it won't be, we have to show them.
28:55And it's up to our team of valuers to find something for the dealers.
28:58Mind if I dig in?
28:59Yeah, dig in.
29:01This rather extensive coin collection is coming your way, Faye.
29:05Will these sell in your shop?
29:07Every Saturday we get the kids come in, they spend their pocket money on the cheaper coins.
29:12So yes, I've got lots of buyers for this sort of stuff.
29:14So how much of the cost you do?
29:17About £60 in total.
29:20And how much would you like?
29:22A bit more than £60 if possible.
29:25Ask a silly question.
29:28Hello Dawn.
29:29Hello, nice to meet you.
29:31Nice to meet you.
29:32Can you just tell me what you've brought along today, please?
29:35Yeah, I have a smidgen of my coin collection.
29:38They're just so interesting with all the patterning, the words, the sizes, the colours, and crazy shapes and things like that.
29:46What first set you off on this collection?
29:49My son, to be honest.
29:50We went to some car boot sales and he was picking them up and showing me them and showing me the dates on them.
29:56And it was like, wow, that's travelled through the war and things like that.
29:59And it's like, wow.
30:00So we just bought a few more and then he lost interest and I just continued doing it.
30:04I've had a little flick through the book.
30:07Most of it is...
30:10Reproduction.
30:11Reproduction.
30:13There's a couple I did pull out which made me go, ooh, they'll be interesting.
30:17This one, for example, would be a silver Victorian crown.
30:20It isn't actually.
30:21It's a cast reproduction as opposed to struck with a die.
30:25And also from the wear, you can see wear on old coins.
30:29The wear just isn't right and around the edges as well.
30:33There's no silver content in those.
30:35With some of the more recent currency, I always look for dates sort of predating 1921 because there was British coins I'm talking about here.
30:45They had a full silver value.
30:47And then from the year 1921, then they became half silver.
30:53OK.
30:53And then after 1946 onwards, they then became like a cupro nickel mix.
30:59And there's no sort of precious metal value in there.
31:03Right.
31:04There's lots of crowns, Charles and Diana commemorative coins and so forth.
31:09I mean, I remember sitting in class in 1977 for the Queen's Silver Jubilee and all of us kids were sat there.
31:15And they came and gave us each a crown, a 1977 Queen's Silver Jubilee crown, to commemorate the occasion.
31:22You think, wow, this is proper treasure when you're a kid.
31:25I think it probably started a lot of kids off collecting.
31:28The good thing about this sort of collection is the fun you've had in acquiring them.
31:33You know, rubbaging in boxes and thinking, wow, I wonder if this is real treasure.
31:37That's it.
31:37But the commemorative coins here, these are proof coins, so they're struck with the die, so they're a higher quality casting.
31:46OK.
31:46They were never meant for general release.
31:49They were meant for collections like this.
31:50For display purposes.
31:51For display purposes.
31:53There isn't anything specifically I can see that's of any great value.
31:58Yeah.
31:58But you've enjoyed collecting them.
31:59I've enjoyed, yeah, they've been brilliant.
32:01They've kept me busy.
32:02Have you always collected?
32:03Have you always had the need to collect?
32:05Teddy bears are my biggest interest.
32:07Teddy bears?
32:07Yeah.
32:08The characters, the colours.
32:10So if we were to do a deal, that's where the money would be going?
32:14Yes.
32:14Teddy bear collection.
32:15Definitely.
32:16Another new stife.
32:17A stife.
32:19OK.
32:20Well, I don't know how well we're going to do here.
32:23Let's start.
32:2620.
32:30£25, Dawn.
32:32It's a little bit low for what I thought.
32:36If we could push a little bit more.
32:40£30.
32:46Could we go ten more and I'd make it a deal?
32:50I've got my eye on a little teddy bear.
32:54Have you named him already?
32:56Yeah.
32:57God, blimey.
32:58Bernard.
32:59Bernard the bear.
33:01Well, I'll be honest with you, when I started this deal, I looked, I thought, £40, not a penny more.
33:07£40 on the table.
33:09So it really is your decision.
33:11Yeah, I'm happy with that, definitely.
33:13So we have a deal?
33:14We do.
33:14Wonderful.
33:15Thank you very much.
33:16Lovely to meet you today.
33:17And you.
33:18I'm really happy with my £40.
33:21I'm going to be buying some more teddy bears for my vintage collection.
33:25That's a lot of coins you've got there, Faye.
33:27What are you going to do with them?
33:29I will give them to my dad.
33:31He'll spend hours going through these, sorting them out into the 10p box, 50p box.
33:36Yeah, he'll be a happy man.
33:38Still to come.
33:40Timmy's in for a treat.
33:42Yay!
33:42The table is groaning with gold.
33:45And so is our seller.
33:47Oh, he's my favourite.
33:49Timmy's teasing you.
33:51But will Tim live up to the hype?
33:53Are you ready?
33:54Yeah.
33:55£10,000.
33:57It's a bit overwhelming.
33:59I'm finished.
34:00Welcome back to Dickinson's Real Deal.
34:30We're almost done here in Leeds.
34:33What have you learnt from your day, Timmy?
34:35Leeds is famous for many things.
34:37Marks and Spencers, Mel B and Cluedo.
34:41So it's only fitting that our last dealer is Professor Tim in the dealer's den with a huge table of gold.
34:48Yay!
34:49Look at this lot.
34:51The table is groaning with gold.
34:53This is going to cost me big money.
34:55It sure is.
34:56How much are you after, Lisa?
34:58About 5,000, awfully.
35:00Happy to be sitting down without him?
35:02Oh, he's my favourite.
35:04Let's hope he's still your favourite dealer by the end.
35:07I hope so.
35:10Hello, Lisa.
35:12How are you, Tim?
35:12Welcome to the Real Deal.
35:15Now, it's a silly question.
35:17What brought you here today?
35:19I've decided to get rid of my jewellery.
35:21It's no longer worn and it's just sitting in a draft.
35:25And is this stuff that you've accumulated over the years?
35:28It's mainly gifts and presents things over the years.
35:30And did you used to wear it then, Lisa?
35:32Oh, yes, yeah.
35:33But I've never wore it for at least 10 years.
35:37You'd be like Mr T wearing all this, wouldn't you?
35:40Yeah, I would.
35:41What's your favourite piece in this?
35:43What's got the most sort of sentimental value?
35:46It would be this ring.
35:48This one?
35:48Yeah.
35:48The buckle ring, yeah.
35:49She's given off me mam.
35:51Oh, right, yeah.
35:52And that was the very first one I actually bought myself.
35:56Yeah, half-sovereign ring.
35:57So when did you buy that, Lisa, then?
35:59I think I was about 18 at the time.
36:0118.
36:02So obviously, sort of like back in the day, you know, when you were 18,
36:05this was very fashionable, wasn't it?
36:07You know, girls used to wear lots and lots of gold jewellery,
36:09lots of rings, earrings, chains.
36:12It was really, really fashionable.
36:14Fell out of fashion a little bit.
36:16And then, you know, it comes back.
36:17It ebbs and flows.
36:18I mean, obviously, you've got a lot of gold here.
36:21So you've got a lot of value in gold.
36:24Most of it, the majority of it, is nine carat gold.
36:27Apart from you've got a full sovereign there
36:30and you've got a half sovereign in that ring,
36:33which are 22 carat gold.
36:35These items here, I think these are quite saleable items.
36:41The chain, this bracelet here.
36:44Now, what would you spend the money on, Lisa?
36:46It's going to be four children.
36:48Right, OK.
36:49They would have inherited the gold.
36:51Right.
36:51And they don't want it.
36:53They don't want it.
36:54They wouldn't wear it and things.
36:56So it's just time for it.
36:59Yeah, yeah, I understand, I understand.
37:02So I'm not going to dilly-dally.
37:05I'm going to get to the money, Lisa.
37:09And I would like to offer you...
37:13..1,000.
37:17Paperclips are optional.
37:18£2,000.
37:23£3,000.
37:26£4,000.
37:29£5,000.
37:32How is it looking, Lisa?
37:35Erm, could look better.
37:37Do you think Timmy could do better?
37:38Definitely.
37:39Right.
37:42£50, 1,
37:43£1.50,
37:442,
37:45£2.53,
37:46£3.54,
37:47£4.55,
37:48£5.56,
37:50£6.57,
37:51£7.58,
37:53£8.59,
37:54£9.50,
37:55£1,000.
37:57£6,000.
37:59Smiling at me, Lisa.
38:00You're smiling at me.
38:02I'm finished.
38:03I'm finished.

40:35£9,950.
40:37£8,000.
40:40No.
40:41Not enough, no.
40:42I don't like you shaking your head up there.
40:44I want you to go away with the real deal.
40:46So do I.
40:47So do you.
40:48Exactly.
40:50£9,000.
40:51£9,000.
40:51£9,000.
40:52£9,000.
40:53£9,000.
40:54£10,000.
40:59But I think you now need some advice from David.
41:02Please.
41:03Well, the first thing I'm going to say is £10,000.
41:06Yeah.
41:07Has that come as a bit of a shock?
41:09It does, yes.
41:11What did you think when you arrived today?
41:14Um, I thought about maybe half that.
41:17£5,000.
41:18Yeah.
41:18Don't listen too carefully, Timmy, because I'm finished with you.
41:21No.
41:21Let me tell you what the independent valuers, what the guys that crunch the numbers say.
41:26Yeah.
41:27They say an overall value of £12,000 to £14,000.
41:32Uh-huh.
41:32So we now have to manipulate him a little bit and say, Tim, we would like you to be a little bit more generous and then we'll come back and see if we can come to a happy agreement.
41:56Thank you, David.
41:58Now, Lisa, you didn't think that I was going to let you down today, did you?
42:03No.
42:03So, £10,000 there, Lisa?
42:06Yeah.
42:07Right.
42:08Are you ready?
42:09Yeah.
42:09£1,000.
42:23£1,000.
42:25£11,000.
42:28Not finished.
42:30I'm not finished, Lisa.
42:31£12,000.
42:38Unlucky for some, £13,000.
42:43How are you feeling, Lisa?
42:45It's a bit overwhelming.
42:46Well, I've been listening from the sidelines here and I have to say my friend, Timmy, has been generous.
42:56OK, £13,000.
42:58Now, obviously, a dealer has got to earn.
43:01It is the dealer's money.
43:03So, on the day, I'm going to say, thank you, Tim.
43:06A very, very good offer.
43:09I'm happy with what you're going away with.
43:11You can't get any more, I don't think, anywhere.
43:14And I'm going to say, congratulations, that is a really cracking deal, a real deal.
43:20So, what else can I say, Lisa?
43:23I know, really good.
43:25I tell you what, Lisa, you've come a long way today, haven't you?
43:28You've come a long way.
43:29So, I am going to give you a little bit more.
43:33Lovely.
43:33I'm going to give you a little bit more money so that you can have a nice meal on me.
43:39So, £50, £100, £150.
43:42£13,150, Lisa.
43:47You've been very generous.
43:49Is that OK?
43:50Yeah, it is.
43:50Have we got the real deal?
43:52Real deal.
43:53Super.
43:54Shake my hand.
43:55It's been a pleasure.
43:56Thank you, Lisa.
44:00Wow.
44:00You only wanted £5,000, Lisa.
44:03What a result.
44:04Amazing.
44:05Absolutely amazing.
44:07He's been so generous and thank you very much.
44:09Lisa, did you really think that your favourite dealer, Timmy, would let you leave the dealer's den without the real deal?
44:17£13,000, going to me four children and £150 for a nice meal for me and my husband.
44:24He was my favourite dealer and he's still my favourite dealer.
44:26Now, with all that cash flying around today, have any of our dealers made any profits?
44:35Simon paid £220 for the Cartier lighters.
44:39I think I probably could have bought those for a little bit less.
44:41I bet you wish you had, Simon.
44:43I took a massive loss.
44:45I sold it for £80.
44:46I lost £140.
44:49What can you say?
44:50You win something, you lose something.
44:52I've really lost this one.
44:54And what about that £65 World War II blowtorch you fell in love with?
44:59Well, as you can see, I've still got the blowtorch.
45:02And to be honest, I just can't bear to be partied from it.
45:05I mean, I've still got no idea how it works, but look at it.
45:08It's lovely.
45:10I might sell it one day, but you're not taking it away from me yet.
45:14Faye paid £40 for the huge coin collection.
45:17How are you getting on with them?
45:19I think I've sold about £2.50's worth so far,
45:22so I've still got a way to go before I see a profit.
45:25Tracey was confident she'd paid the right price for the sovereign in chains.
45:29£700.
45:30There's about £20, £30 in it.
45:32And she did better than expected.
45:35I sold a couple of days later in the shop
45:38and got £745, so I helped a profit of £45.
45:45And how about you, Tim?
45:47Did you manage to make a profit from that epic gold deal?
45:50Well, Lisa, you will be pleased to know
45:52that I made the grand total of £100.
45:57But a profit is a profit.
45:59Hope you are well and sending lots of love to me.
46:02Lisa has got £13,000 for her gold.
46:09A fantastic price.
46:11Have you enjoyed today's show?
46:12Well, it's been a crockerjack.
46:14Don't forget to join me, David Dickinson,
46:16the Duke next time for Dickinson's Real Deal.
46:18I'll see you.
46:19Don't you be late.
46:20Well, they got the real deal.
46:46Dickinson's Real Deal, brought to you by Vintage Cash Cow.
46:49I'll see you next time.
