Episode 13
Nigel Havers hosts as five dealers bid to buy items brought in by the public, including a rice warmer, a kingfisher vase, a hop sieve, a port pourer and a harmonium.
Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.
Ellie and her dog Reg arrive, hoping their Middle Eastern rice warmer will help them cook up some cash. The pair live on a canal boat and are selling the rice warmer on behalf of a neighbour, and they plan to use the money towards a doggy holiday for them and their pets. Will Reg鈥檚 puppy dog eyes convince the dealers to raise their bids?
Next through the doors is Steve, with a unique piece of hand-painted piece from an iconic French pottery in Limoges. Will the globular vase, decorated with a kingfisher and gold detailing, be a fly-away hit with the dealers, or will Steve be taking it back home with him?
Jane and her son Hugo have brought in an item they hope will get them a swift deal. The large hop sieve was a car boot find, and they are hoping to use the proceeds of the sale to buy egg-laying chickens. At 拢10 per hen, Hugo needs to charm the dealers into an eggsellent deal.
Cecilia is selling a fancy gadget that she hopes the dealers will take a shine to. The Victorian-style port pourer was a gift from her father, and with help from Nigel, Cecilia is hoping to say 'chin chin' to a top deal.
Last through the doors is a familiar face, Rikesh, who has returned to the bidding room with an antique he hopes will play into the dealers' hands. The large oak harmonium and stool were rescued from a Methodist church for just 拢1, but will any of the dealers go for such a sizable instrument?
Today's dealers are Ian, Jacqui, Adi, Jo, James, Jayne, JB and Tash.
