Bargain Hunt

Blue Bloke looks like Paul Avon Darrow. Phwoar Glynis Barber!!!

 

More Jokes about having a Devil in the house.

Charles likes the beaded rim. Fnar fnar.

Hanson gorging himself on silver again.

 

Didn't get to see today's fun. Had stall at Collectors Fair in Petersfield but wasn't massively busy.

 

titter!
= They don't like spending much. They are tight-fisted. Snigger

 

Mouthwatering sight!
What is in the big binder/folders?

 

The four big ones in the middle-to-right of first picture - there are two of 'Programmes with Tickets' (I don't really do tickets on their own, but if I have the programme I 'pair' them. One folder contains 'specials', i.e Finals/Internationals etc, the other folder is standard League stuff with tickets). The other two are 'First & Lasts' (for instance our game at home to Southport from April 1978 is in there as it was Southport's last game in the Football League).

 

Next Sunday in Kensington should anyone be interested......

 

Meanwhile ....... after being distracted for a few hours,

Another Hanson folly? That jug.

Blues buy a 2-handled cup, snigger, fnar, LOL

 

Dirty laughing from Christina.
Uncle Eric: Thank you for having us.
Christina: It's very lovely of you to come.

Gulp! Sweat!

 

Charles: Look at that.
Red Woman: Oh!
Charles: Do you like it?
Charles: Have a handle.



116 notes for a small silver stamp case. Hanson folly?

 

She's taking the Auction. Uncle Eric says she has a safe pair of hands.

 

LOL. Hanson wipes out their profit. Classic Charles.

Blue Avon had his trousers Auctioned once. I must admit I'm not au fait with the polari slang. He was one of the original crew on Red Dwarf. Did he get to orbit around the rings of Uranus?

Perhaps Christina could do some Auction trousering. or some exploration around a tilted planet next to Neptune.

Lots of low level moaning.

 

BBC approved preamble:
Oswestry
Bargain HuntSeries 47-49 (Shortened Versions)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00085vd
Eric Knowles heads to the Antiques and Collectors Fair at Oswestry in Shropshire, where two married couples buy three items that they think could make a profit at auction. Providing a helping hand to our teams are experts Charles Hanson and Kate Bliss.

The Translation:
Uncle Eric along with his Tat Troubadours, Dreamblazer Manson and the Trillster, descend on Antiques and Collectors Fair at Oswestry in Shropshire to ferment discord and eventual break-up of 2 married couples. Auctioneering will be with Sex on a Gavel, Christina Trevanion, so we'll be needing all our of powers of concentration to not get too distracted but it will be mightily tough.

The Staff:
[Gaffer] Uncle Eric Knowles, he loves his Lancs pork sausage
[Red Team Expert] Charles Madness, madness they call it madness Manson Hanson
[Blue Team Expert] Posh Kate Shrilly Trilly Bliss
[Auctioneer] Sexbomb Christina Trevanion
[Auction Location] Trevanion and Dean, Whitchurch
(Miserlin Rating: Unlisted)



The Teams:
[Red Team] Married couple, she wears a flowerpot on her head.
[Blue Team] Married Male couple, Dr Who fans, only recently married after years of hiding in the Tardis closet.

The Shopping:
Reds: Vietnamese silver brooch (22) fine, Georgian silver sugar tongs (32) good, Late 18th-century creamware jug (130) maybe.
Blues: Art Deco ink stand (55) topend, Pair of Dolphin decorative lamp bases (75) singe, WMF Two-handled cup (35) bargain.

The Distraction:
None today as it's Stumpy the short-arsed programme.

The Auction:
Reds: Vietnamese silver brooch (small profit), Georgian silver sugar tongs (small profit), Late 18th-century creamware jug (small profit).
Charles BB is a 1907 silver stamp case (116), cough splutter, 40-60 LOL, 85. Yup, Hanson folly time.

​

Blues: Art Deco ink stand (loss), Pair of Dolphin decorative lamp bases (largish loss), WMF Two-handled cup (small profit).
Trilly's BB is a small brass 19th century tape measure (18), 20-30, 25. Small profit for Trilly.



The Aftermath:
A decent auction from the Steamstress Christina, Thwack. Squeezing some extra juice out of the punters to get 3 small profits and a Golden Gavel for the Reds. The Jug was a big gamble but she helped it over the line as any half decent auctioneer would (or should that be wood). Then another folly with that overpriced stamp holder wipes out their small overall profit in true Hanson style. Camp Avon and his accountant Hubby only made a profit on their 2-handed cup and Trilly's small profit BB was not able to save them from an overall loss.



The Hi-Kick:
Conventional indoor kick. Everyone hits par apart from Trilly, tight dress syndrome again, but the coordination is awry with the Reds being particularly late. Charles gives a full wide-angled shot of his crotch. Yes, YES!!

​

 

Squealing already.

Raj and Steph again.

No wonder beer is so expensive if pubs are buying tat like this.

I don't like it says Red Medusa.

Can't really arm twist on camera.

Steph handling a double-ender, ooo-er

But Medusa likes the chipped glass bowl.

 

Raj's weakness, expensive, unfashionable brown furniture.

 

Is Raj explaining to two adults what papier maché is?

 

Reds might be OK you know. Chipped bowl is **** but only 12 quid. 75 quid for the corner cabinet could go either way. Perfume bottles look OK.

 

Blues, 90 quid lot of scent bottles, could go either way.

Jardinaire and 5 quid royal crown Derby thing will both do well

 

Who's wielding the gavel today?

 

This proves how old Bruce Forsyth was.

 

Good question. Somebody who has a wedding ring on their hand.

Treepole Jnr again. Boooooo.

Bit strong is his catchphrase.

Ricky Gervais Red.

Tightarse Norfolk audience.

Out come the Miser Moths.

Medusa REJECTS Raj's BB.

Norfolk says ....... break even.

Steph probably has more chance with these cheaper items.

Excellent profit on the bottles.

Is 3 notes the lowest ever accepted sale price?

Pocket money.

 

Gays and sons of Diss

BBC box checked

 

Sofas in the sale room = comfy and non bidding misers

 

It's a shame that a 250 year old piece of artisan furniture is only worth 60 quid, but Raj should have known that corner cabinet would lose.

 

Chess table is nice - it's probably gonna do OK.

But they reject it

 

Washed its face

 

Come on Steph, there's a chance to win this!

 

Scent bottles outperform Gays Sons' estimate!

 

Napkin ring must have been utter dump to not even break a fiver. Imagine losing a GG for a 5 quid item!

 

Steph with a very boring BB. Old teacup. I'd reject it because it's so, so dull.

 

I'd buy it just to smash it. Ugly thing.

 

Blues absolutely steamroller Raj's reds. Feel Raj wasn't quite on form today.

 

Good day for Steph this time.

 

You're really restricted in those Antique Centres to get a genuine bargain. So finding something aged and underpriced is challenging.

 

Was thinking same myself.
