Episode 5
A group of dealers bid against each other for items brought in by the public. Up for grabs are a lamp, a Victorian wall mirror, a Black Forest inkwell and a quirky sideboard.
Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to five professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.
Kicking off the bidding is Sam, with a house clearance find that he is hoping will light up the bidding room. Next is Janine, with a Victorian wall mirror that she thinks will fetch a handsome price. Third in to meet the dealers is Karen, with a bear-shaped inkwell with a famous heritage. Fourth in is Lisa, with a quirky optical testing kit. She can see its value, but will she be looking at a done deal when the bidding begins? Last in is football manager Roy, hoping to score a big price tag for his mid-century sideboard. He is so determined that he uses all his soccer-boss motivational skills on the dealers. Will he kick off a bidding frenzy?
Today's dealers are Adi, Melissa, Moses, Lucy, JB, James, Estelle, Tash and Ian. Will any of them buy? And if they do, will any of them match, or even top, the valuation placed on each of the items?
