Series 6: 27. Fishing Rod, Lamp Stand, Butcher’s Scales

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 is Joseph, with a pair of antique golf clubs he hopes will be on par with the dealers. Joseph will need to get the room in full swing if he wants to get a 'fair way' towards raising enough money for a music therapy charity.\n\nNext in and returning to the room is Peter, with fishing paraphernalia he hopes will reel in the dealers. The hand-crafted, split-cane rods and nets have been stored in Peter’s loft for 40 years, but now is the time to send them upstream and onto pastures new. Which of the dealers’ bids will be big enough to hook the eclectic collection?\n\nThird in is Harmesh, with a holiday souvenir that’s better than the average fridge magnet. His teak-carved lamp stand was bought in Goa but no longer suits his home interior, so it’s time to move it along. Detective work from both Simon and the dealers may uncover some surprising truths about its origins.\n\nNext to arrive at Edinburgh HQ is Kezia, with a teddy bear she believes is from the 1930s, but Simon confirms is much later. Can any of the dealers see a future for this time-travelling teddy and offer Kezia the money she hopes to raise for the youth group that gifted her the teddy originally?\n\nFinally, Matt wants to weigh up his chances in the room. He inherited decorative butcher’s scales and weights from his grandparents, but with no use for them, Matt hopes to sell them on and put any of his earnings towards a family celebration.\n\nThe dealers today are Craig, Ian, JB, Jo and Melissa as well as Adi, Jacqui and Jon.
