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.\n\nFirst through the doors today is James, who caught the vintage bug from his antique dealer father. He has with him a set of wooden gym lockers from the 1970s, which he recently picked up from a local charity for a small donation. Mid-century items like these are in high demand, so James plans to exercise his bartering muscles to pump as much money as possible out of the dealers.\n\nFormer greengrocer Glenn with a Chinese fruit yoke - a pair of wicker baskets joined together by a yoke, used to pick and display fruit and vegetables. Will the dealers go bananas over the piece and help Glenn make the fruitful trade he seeks?\n\nJed wants to sell an ornate gold mirror, thought to be from France. With Adi a fan of all French furnishings and Jane a dealer in decorative pieces, Jed could be in good stead for a top trade.\n \nGayle has brought in a pair of bronze busts she inherited from her grandfather, of Princess Margaret and Queen Elizabeth II as children. Simon is impressed by these rare pieces, so if the dealers don't reach his estimation, Gayle could take them to a specialist auction.\n\nLast to face the dealers is Sara, who has with her a contraption she found while clearing out a shed on the family farm in Wales. It's a mechanical sheep shearer that belonged to her grandfather. Victorian and Edwardian mechanical items are always a hit with the dealers, but will Sara shepherd the deal she’s looking for?\n\nToday's dealers are Adi, Ian, Jane, JB, Jo, Melissa, Moses and Tash.
