Episode 6

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sets of sellers to the Bidding Room where they will try to persuade one of the five dealers to buy the items they are trying to sell.

Before facing the dealers, each seller meets Nigel and auctioneer Simon who will value their items. Simon will also give them top tips on the history and key characteristics of their piece so that when they enter the bidding room, they have all the information they need to try to haggle the best possible price from the dealers.

All the dealers are spending their own money but have no idea what the sellers are bringing in each day. If they like an item, then they will bid against one another to try to buy it. The more dealers who bid, the more chance the seller has to push up the final price tag. But the sellers don't have to sell if they don't think the dealers are offering enough money; especially if the bids don't reach expert Simon's valuation (which they should wisely keep to themselves).

First through the doors is Natalie with an anatomy model called ‘Bart'. Will curio collector James be persuaded pay up to her dream price?
Arriving next is Christine with a butter churn from the 1900s. With the help of Nigel Havers can she butter up the dealers to bid up to her dream price?

Next in are couple David and Pixie with a set of glass apothecary bottles that they found in the attic of their new house. With an assortment of glass from across the ages can they persuade decorative buyers James or Adi to part with their cash?

Next to face the dealers is Gareth with a 1940s gas meter that he rescued from a demolition site. Nigel Havers has a genius idea for giving it a new lease of life but can he persuade the dealers?

Rowan from Ireland is fourth in today, with his trio of Guinness advertising prints. Which of our dealers will he target and will his sales patter be successful?

Last in is Helen with her granddaughter Imogen. They've brought along a gold brooch from WW1 that's been in the family for seven generations. With a fascinating story behind it, which of our dealers will fight to take their item home?

The dealers in today are Ian, Adi, Jo, James and Jacqui.
