(uptempo music) - [Zaraah] Today, the Secret Dealers are spoiled for choice with a collection amassed from one man's globe trotting lifestyle.

- These are bigger, aren't they?

- That's one of the great wines.

- [Zaraah] And the dealers are giddy with excitement.

- How many bids have you left?

- Lots.

- Me too.

- That's coming home, that's coming home.

- [Zaraah] But when the bidding gets tough.

- I won't muck about, 350.

- That is way, way too much money.

- [Zaraah] The tough get going, and that's not only the dealers.

- 500 Pounds Cromar, that is it.

- You're probably not in the ballpark.

- He is one of the toughest customers we have ever had on "Secret Dealers".

- [Zaraah] Homeowner Cromar is no stranger to big deals.

He's lived and worked in Dubai as a banker and lawyer where he amassed collection to rival the British Museum, well, almost.

- Today, you're going to find quite a few objects from the Middle East, 'cause that's where I've lived for about 25 years.

And so there'll be things like carpets, and maps, and other things from Africa where I used to live.

And there are some interesting items also from Indonesia.

- [Zaraah] But for Cromar, these pieces aren't only mementos of his trips, he's got the collector in him.

- Well, when I buy things, I never actually think of selling them.

And the fun is actually collecting.

You may see some things like the Doulton figures of Charles Dickens.

The fun is actually getting the whole set.

And anybody who's a collector listening to this will fully understand that you have to collect every one.

- [Zaraah] So what's an honest collector doing selling it?

- I had so many things, which were in cupboards, in boxes and there's a realization, if you haven't actually used something or seen something for three years, then maybe it's time to let it go.

- [Zaraah] And a bit of holiday money won't go amiss.

- Plans for the money today are probably going to help me continue traveling the world.

- [Zaraah] So the dealers today who will be helping Cromar with his traveling fund are Tim.

- I'll go hell for leather to get an item that I want, even if it means sacrificing a profit.

- [Zaraah] Christopher.

- I like buying any object that has got an extra edge of quality.

- [Zaraah] And Alison.

- I'll have a go at anything, particularly if it shows me a profit.

- [Zaraah] The dealers will just two hours while Cromar is away to place bids on everything they want to buy.

- Now listen, it says "Beware of the collies".

There's a dog in here.

- Okay, the mill house.

- [Zaraah] An art dealer, jewelry dealer, and a silver dealer walk into a bar.

Stop me if you've heard this one before.

- Right, I would like a gin and tonic.

- Tim, you know you can only drink lemonade.

You know what your mom said.

Someone with a lot of taste lives here.

It is fabulous.

- Time, ladies.

- Time, gentlemen, time.

- Time.

- Thank you, Bet.

- [Zaraah] Right, now put down your drinks and let's get to work.

- You never know what you're gonna find.

- Woo (chuckling)!

I am crazed by what I see.

It's just so exciting.

- [Zaraah] Cromar's collection of unusual objects from all corners of the globe has got the dealers' pulses racing.

- I love it here.

I think it's fantastic.

- [Zaraah] But Christopher has found something from a little closer to home.

- This is a real bit of Scottish memorabilia.

It's a collection of flies for fly fishing kept in its original leather case.

So in days gone by, probably your Gilly would've kept this for you and handed you the appropriate fly to go fishing for that day.

My dear old dad, Hamish Selkirk would've loved this, brought up not far from here and always used to tell me about his childhood days of fly fishing.

I love it.

(lighthearted music) - [Zaraah] Christopher seems quite attached to the fly fishing book and makes a bid, but he's already got competition in the shape of Tim.

Meanwhile, Alison's found the collection of 25 Royal Doulton Charles Dickens Figures, from Mr. Pickwick to Oliver Twist.

- All of these are all of Dickens' characters.

They're made by Doulton and they were made in the 1930's, and they're just such a great thing to collect.

And I think this is the first time I have seen a complete collection.

Each little figure is saying, "Buy me, buy me, buy me, buy me, buy me, buy me, buy me."

- [Zaraah] Okay, whilst Alison makes an offer on our little friends, our very own tiny Tim Spider, Victorian brass telescope.

- This originally would've been covered in leather.

So at some time, it's got wet or damp, the leathers peeled off, but it's a good looking thing, isn't it?

I like that telescope and I can see that in Hogarth Towers.

Just what you need, spy on the neighbors.

- [Zaraah] Good people of Bradford, shut to your curtains.

Peeping Tim places his offer on the telescope and the bids are coming in thick and fast as the dealers scour every corner of the house.

- Never know what you might find in the junk room.

- [Zaraah] A lot of junk by the looks of it, Christopher.

Meanwhile, Alison's taking a break from bidding.

- I used to be the snooker champion at my school.

- [Zaraah] That's nice Alison, but isn't that a pool table?

Maybe you're just a bit out of practice.

- Been a while.

- [Zaraah] I think that's our cue to get back to business.

And in the kitchen, Christopher has found an early 19th century urbanized clock.

- We've got a very distressed bracket clock.

I bet this is a family piece.

- Now, the clock was being in the family for many, many years.

My father had many clocks in the house and that was his hobby.

He loved repairing and tinkering with clocks.

- It would've had glass panels and probably a wooden dome top, which is missing.

It's a nice silvered dial.

Probably the original handles.

The problem with all of these things is the cost of restoration.

I like a challenge and I like a clock.

Nobody is going to approach that.

I know I'm having that.

- [Zaraah] I wouldn't be so sure about that, Christopher, as it seems, Tim's up to the challenge too.

- I've put a cheeky little bid in it because there is always somebody who will buy it and just think, oh, I'll fiddle around with it, society.

- [Zaraah] The boys are going head to head for a whole host of items, whilst Alison has got distracted again.

(gentle piano music) Gifted, I'm sure you'll agree.

- I always think it's such a talent to be able to play the piano.

- [Zaraah] And you make it look so easy, Alison.

Meanwhile, Tim is always on the prowl for silver, and has found all manner of miniature objects in the lounge.

- Little needle case, silver vesta, that's a cigarette case.

They're not the easiest things to sell.

That's a measure for drinks.

This is a reproduction stamp case.

This is to hold your napkin in having dinner.

- [Zaraah] Tim gathers a number of the novelty silver items together and makes a bid for the lot.

Across the room, Christopher has spotted the brass telescope.

- Can't see a thing out of it.

- [Zaraah] Oh dear, have you thought about maybe putting your glasses on Christopher?

Ah, there you go.

Mr. Selkirk knows a classy lot when he sees it and his bid joins Tim's for the telescope.

(upbeat music) After all her fun and games, Alison's finally back on track, making it a trail of bids on the telescope.

- Oh, this is really nice.

- [Zaraah] And she's also taken a fancy to the fly fishing book that the boys have already bid on.

- So you've got all your little hooks and these are all handmade flies.

So they've used feathers to imitate different flies of the season.

I really like this.

I used to go fishing with my dad.

He's making me feel a bit sentimental.

I'm of the belief that I'm the only one of the dealers that feels as passionately about this fly fishing book as I do, so I reckon I'm in with a chance.

- [Zaraah] Ah, but that's where you're wrong Alison.

There's gonna be a battle for this book because Christopher and Tim have also fallen for it hook line and sinker.

- Quite a rare item.

My dear old late dad was quite a fisherman in his day.

It took me back to memories of him.

- You cannot put a value on it.

- I have to have it.

- [Zaraah] The Secret Dealers are having a field day in Cromar's emporium of exotic antiquities leaving bids on items from far and wide.

- This house has got huge potential.

- [Zaraah] And they all want to walk away with the goods.

- That's coming home, that's coming home.

- Every room I'm going into, I keep finding stuff for me.

- [Zaraah] There are plenty more fabulous items to find and the dealers are ready to spend, spend, spend.

(upbeat music) - I love it 'cause it's like going shopping really.

Get your credit card out, this could be for you.

- Well, these are bigger, aren't they?

- [Zaraah] Could be a little deer, Tim.

And this 1,000 gram solid silver bar is definitely going to cost you.

- One kilo Johnson Matthey, London.

That is a bullion house, so I shall just work out what that is worth today.

Because it's been put into a bar and it has been acid and numbered, it gives it a premium above its standard silver content.

It's quite a lot of money actually as well.

- [Zaraah] Well, for a kilo of silver, I should think so.

Tim leaves a bid for the bar and also makes an offer on this silver cigar vesta case, which soon catches Alison's eye too.

- I like this.

This is quirky.

And where do the finest cigars come from?

They come from Havana in Cuba.

I like that.

I think that's very commercial.

- [Zaraah] Maybe so Alison, but this particular item is very personal to Cromar.

- The silver vesta with a chain was my grandfather's, and maybe this is not the sort of thing I should be selling.

- [Zaraah] That won't stop Alison making a bid, but can any amount of money tempt Cromar to sell?

We'll find out later.

- So you've got Oliver Twist, tiny Tim, Mr. Micawber.

- [Zaraah] Upstairs, Tim's going through the Doulton Dickens figures that Alison bid on earlier.

- Pickwick, in the 1920's, '30s, Royal Doulton made huge numbers of these.

They call it a series where they did plays with all the Dickens characters on, Shakespeare characters.

Six, seven, eight.

- [Zaraah] Tim counts them up and his bid joins Alison's.

The dealers are searching high and low for the best items from the quaffable.

- That's one of the great wines.

- [Zaraah] To the squafable.

And they can't hide their excitement for Cromar's wonderful collection.

- Do you know, I love this house.

- I love this house.

- I absolutely love it.

- I have said I love this house over and over.

- It's fab.

- How many bids have you left?

- Lots.

- Me too.

- [Zaraah] Okay guys, it's not a competition.

Oh wait, it is.

As you were.

Downstairs, Christopher has found the assortment of novelty silver.

- Tim's already gone through it all and sorted out what actually is silver and what isn't.

- Oh, easy there Christopher.

- I like the look of this lot.

There's some quite interesting things in there, including a very nice vesta case with golfing motifs on, big sellers.

And there's my bid on the silver items.

- [Zaraah] And he also throws his bid in the pot for the silver bar, but it's ruffled Timmy's feathers.

- He's not having it.

He's not having it.

He's a picture dealer, not a silver dealer.

I'm a silver dealer.

I want that silver.

- [Zaraah] Well, if you want it, you're gonna have to fight for it, Tim, because it's not just Christopher you're up against, Alison wants a slice of the silver action too.

- This is gonna cost us if we really wanna buy this.

- [Zaraah] Cromar's house of treasures from all over the world has been thoroughly searched by the Secret Dealers and there are bid cards everywhere, which will come as good news to Globetrotter Cromar.

- Proceeds of the items that I am to sell today, although I've bought them around the world, will probably help me continue my travels going around the world.

And I can imagine, I will probably buy some more little treasures when I'm on these travels and bring them back.

- [Zaraah] And he's willing to drive a hard bargain.

- In terms of letting things go today, it's not really so much a problem in principle, it's just, do I think I'm getting the right value for it?

Whilst the bids will be obviously as generous as the dealers can afford to do, I may not accept any of them.

- [Zaraah] The dealers have been warned.

So how much dosh are they prepared to dole out if they can persuade Cromar to sell everything?

- The total amount on offer from us today is in this envelope.

- Thank you very much.

- If you'd like to open it.

- Now, let's have a look at this, whoa, 9,746.

Hey, this is interesting, but is it enough?

- [Zaraah] We'll let you be the judge of that Cromar.

So dealers, are you ready to get your wallets out?

- There's some really nice choice items in here and that's why we offered nearly 10 grand.

- It has been one big spend, spend, spend for me.

- [Zaraah] Well, you haven't actually bought anything yet, Alison, but now, here's your chance.

First up, it's that incredible one kilo chunk of solid silver ingot.

All three dealers would love to own it, but Cromar is well aware of its value.

- Oh, that probably was on my desk for many years.

And the fact that it's numbered and is in a bar has value, it has a premium.

- There is absolutely no brain power whatsoever regarding this item.

You buy it for one and you sell it for two.

- [Zaraah] That should be a quick, easy deal then.

- And this led me, detective Timothy to believe that you are a banker.

- Guilty as charged.

(all laughing) - Shall I open the bidding then?

For your bullion bar, 285 pounds, Cromar.

- I think it's time we cut for what they used to call a short commercial break because my price is 140 pounds.

- Silver's just gone down by half.

The markets are crashing as we're bidding.

- And my offer, Cromar, 307 pounds.

- That is spot price.

- Is it?

- Yeah.

- However, I might round it up to 310.

- I have to say I actually don't understand this.

I don't get it.

Look, I'm out.

- 325.

(tense music) - 350.

- 375.

- Why are you doing this to me?

(dramatic music) - 390.

- 395.

- 400.

- What's a girl to do?

405 pounds.

- I think that premium has been reached, Cromar, and I am out at 405.

- [Zaraah] Cromar hasn't been tempted to look at the secret valuation, and with a stonking bid from Alison, he doesn't need to.

- And I don't have to look at this because I think that premium has been reached and I will accept.

- Great, thank you very much.

- Thank you.

- Super.

- [Zaraah] Looks like Cromar knows the silver market just as well as the dealers.

- It's what I expected and I think I got a happy result there.

- I can sell it as an item.

I don't have to go and scrap it.

- As an investment piece, there will be a profit in it without doubt.

- [Zaraah] Another item our three dealers could see plenty of potential in is the Victorian brass telescope.

- I think that, that would grace anybody's drawing room study, and I would really like to buy it.

- I could sell it and therefore make a profit.

That's what I like about it, profit.

We all like it and we're here to bid.

So shall we start?

- Well, Cromar, 80 pounds.

(dramatic music) - 120.

- And my offer is 90 pounds.

- We're probably deflating your expectations of this slightly.

- Yes, quite a bit.

- [Zaraah] Deflated he may be, but not defeated.

- Yeah, okay, 145.

- 150.

- 160.

- 185.

- Well, I have to say that's me out I'm afraid.

- Okay.

- 190.

- I can tell you now, nobody is gonna want to pay 200 pounds, 199.

- 199?

He's pushing us up, and up, and up.

Well, 200 pounds.

- You don't really want to pay that though, do you?

- No.

- Tim, you're actually being quite painful here.

I just wish he'd drop it.

(dramatic music) 225.

- 250.

- No, that's enough for me, I'm afraid.

- So it's 250?

- [Zaraah] This time, Cromar has turned into his secret valuation and that's all he needs to know.

- Well, this agrees with you and I will accept your offer.

- Thank you very much, Cromar.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

(upbeat music) - Nice man is our Christopher, but I think he might have just been running after me up a little bit there.

- Yes, I think 250.

It's probably roughly about what I paid for it.

- It's not expensive.

I'd rather regret not buying it though.

- [Zaraah] But Christopher has no regrets over some of the other items that he bid for.

He got the better of Tim for this Edwardian Sutherland table.

- 80 Pounds, Cromar.

- 85.

- I'll accept that.

- [Christopher] Okay, Cromar.

- At this current moment in time, it will not sell.

- [Zaraah] Don't be a sore loser Timmy.

And when it came to bidding for a Victorian tortoise shell purse, Christopher was top dog again.

- 100 pounds.

- I think we have a deal.

- [Christopher] Excellent.

- Congratulations.

- Cromar, thank you.

I bid a top price but it's a quality item, so I'm happy.

- [Zaraah] Next, Alison and Tim will be jostling for the sort after Royal Doulton Dickens figures.

But some dealers seem to think they know their Dickens better than others.

- I'm just gonna buy them, buying them.

Shall I tell you why?

- [Zaraah] Go on then.

- I've been in this game a long time and one of my specialisms was Doulton.

I started a thing called the Doulton Circle.

- [Zaraah] On second thoughts, let's just get on with the deal.

- They do like a Dickens figure, but I'm hoping, Cromar that you have not got great expectations.

- Oh, really.

- Because this could be bleak house, 250 pounds.

(dramatic music) - Well, my offer is 308 pounds.

- [Zaraah] Both Tim and Alison are short of the mark.

What's Cromar going to do with his insider information?

- Well, you know what he's gonna say now don't you?

Please, sir, more.

- Oh, well done.

- 320 Pounds.

- 320 is getting there.

But even then, for 25 figures, it's not enough.

- I won't muck about, 350.

- What about 400 pounds?

- No, you're probably not in the ballpark.

- [Zaraah] It's a tale of two dealers as Alison and Tim slug it out for Cromar's highly collectible Charles Dickens figures.

Tim's currently in the lead with his over the valuation top bid.

- What about 400 pounds?

- [Zaraah] But money minded Cromar will want to pick the deepest pocket.

So can the dealers meet his high demands?

(tense music) - Well, what about 410?

- No.

I'm just thinking what I paid for them.

- Oh, forget about that, that's history.

- It's probably wrong to do that.

- It would have to be in the 500s otherwise.

- No, I'm out.

I think that that level, entry level, I'm out.

- Well, I'm not, I'm still here.

Meet me at 450.

I really want them, Cromar.

(tense music continues) You want 500 for them?

- No, he wants to start at five.

- Will you be quiet a little bit because it would just suit me at the moment if you learn to be quiet.

Just be quiet.

I'm thinking 500.

- [Zaraah] Alison has now offered 150 pounds more than the top valuation.

But will it be enough to tempt Cromar to sell?

- That, I accept.

- I'm so happy with that.

Thank you very much Cromar.

Thank you, thank you.

Today is a first for me, the whole collection of Dickens figures in one spot, and now they're in my handbag.

- Do I think she'll get a profit?

- No.

- [Zaraah] Well, we'll see about that, Tim.

Next is the leather bound fly fishing book that caught bids from all three dealers.

- I am so taken away with the fly fishing book.

It reminds me of my childhood with my father.

- My dear old late dad, Hamish was quite a fisherman in his day, and I must say it took me back to memories of him.

- [Zaraah] Are heart's about to rule heads?

Let's find out.

- [Timothy] I wonder what our bids are gonna be?

- I don't know.

Shall we reveal?

- Right, my bid Cromar is 100 pounds.

- And my offer is 107 pounds.

- Good.

- Where are you Chris?

- Cromar, I'm offering you 120 pounds.

- Well, there we are.

- [Alison] I want them.

- [Zaraah] Christopher's bid is good, but it still hasn't reached the top valuation.

Cromar will want to push them up, but will he need to?

- 130, Cromar.

- Well, let's see if I can get you on the hook with this, 150 pounds, Cromar.

- 200.

- I'm gonna cut to the chase here.

250 pounds, that's my offer.

- 260.

- Chris, that's very generous.

- It is, I am that sort of person, Cromar.

- What is he doing?

He's not meant to even want it.

- Oh God, we all want these flies.

Come on dad, help me here.

(tense music) - I'm out, the water's too deep for me.

- Okay.

- I can see that you really want this.

At 260, I'm out.

I think that's a good price.

- I think it's a cracking price.

So Cromar, at 260 pounds, have we got a deal?

(tense music continues) - Well done, we have a deal, congratulations.

- [Zaraah] And congrats to Cromar who got more than the top valuation again.

- Why has Christopher Selkirk paid 260 pounds for that book?

- It's got a sentimental value.

It's got nothing to do with money.

- [Zaraah] Sentiments, you can't put a price on it.

So how will the dealers fair with our next item, the silver cigar vesta case, which has been passed down in Cromar's family from generation to generation.

- The silver vesta with a chain was my grandfather's.

- I've got an ideal buyer for it.

I've left a stonking good bid.

I have to have it.

- [Timothy] How did you acquire this item, Cromar?

- This item is actually from my father.

As far as I know, he got it from his father.

- [Alison] So shall I reveal?

- [Timothy] You reveal.

- My offer is 146 pounds.

- Thank you, Alison.

- My offer is 80 pounds.

- Okay, well, there's quite a difference there, isn't it?

- Yes, there is.

- [Zaraah] Alison has already nearly hit the top estimate.

But will Cromar sell such a precious family heirloom at any price?

- And the answer to this is going to be no.

And the reason for that is that I have three sons and if they felt that I have sold their great grandfather's vesta, they would think ill of me.

And so, I'm going to say no almost at any price, but thank you very much for your offer.

- Well.

(all laughing) - Yes.

- I have a client for that.

They collect them and I don't think they've got that one.

So I'd like to give you one more effort.

180 pounds, now that is a stonking good offer.

- I have very few items that my grandfather has passed down.

So the answer in principle has to be, no, I'm sorry.

- You see, there is no price on sentiment is there?

- No.

- I admire him for not selling it to me.

He knows his heritage and he's keeping it.

- I decided that at any price, I would hold onto that item.

- [Zaraah] And that wasn't the only item Cromar just couldn't part with.

- Here it is.

- [Zaraah] Alison didn't let principles get in the way of a quick buck.

- There's a part of me that almost feels I can't bid on it 'cause it's just so beautiful.

And then there's another part of me that says there is a profit.

- [Zaraah] But her bid of 375 pounds wasn't enough for Cromar.

Christopher wanted to trot off with these three leather saddles.

- Gave up horse riding when I was five.

- [Zaraah] But Cromar had a little more stay in power and wouldn't give them up for the 320 pounds Christopher offered.

And a big bid of 490 pounds from Tim for these Mappin and Webb silver plates was also turned down.

- Some you win, some you lose.

- [Zaraah] On now to the mantle clock, that's also a family piece and has seen better days, isn't that right, Tim?

- We're talking a lot of work and a lot of money to get that clock up to scratch.

- It's in terrible condition, just the sort of thing I love.

What I can only describe as something of a wreck, but a wonderful wreck though.

- [Cromar] Yes.

- Tim, how are you on clock wrecks?

- Well, I'm not brilliant on clocks, so my bid for your distressed wrecked clock is 120 pounds.

(dramatic music) - I would like to own this because I love the challenge of it.

I'm offering 380 pounds.

- Very generous.

- We're too far apart.

There's absolutely no point in me bidding you up because personally, I don't see it at 380 pounds.

- Neither do I.

(all laughing) - Right.

- Right.

- This isn't about profit, this is about ownership.

And I'm hoping at 380 pounds to be the owner of that clock.

- [Zaraah] Christopher's offer has smashed the valuation.

Surely, this is gonna be an easy decision for Cromar.

- And the answer is, it's yours for 400.

- Oh, he got you there, didn't he?

- It was very clear that he was very keen on this clock, and so I thought, how far is he prepared to go?

- [Zaraah] Secret Dealer Christopher's in a battle with homeowner Cromar for the mantle clock he's fallen in love with.

Christopher's opening bid is already way over the valuation.

And with Tim out of the running, Cromar's eager to find out just how much Christopher wants this clock.

- It's yours for 400.

- [Zaraah] So the question is, will love be blind?

(tense music) - Now, come on, you like it this much, Christopher.

What is 20 pounds?

- I'm wondering what the valuation is.

May we see the?

You don't have to really.

- No, I think I'll just hold it here.

- Oh, do you fancy a game of poker?

390.

That extra 10 pounds is through gritted teeth.

- Through equally gritted teeth, I accept your offer.

Thank you, Cromar, thank you.

(upbeat music) I'm gonna take it home, enjoy it, and then think about a profit on it.

- I'm not so sure whether that item will see him with a huge profit.

- [Zaraah] Has Christopher paid too much?

Time will tell.

Now, it's time for our final item, the collection of novelty silver.

And again, Tim's only thinking about one thing, profit.

- If this lot can be bought at a competitive price, there's a profit in it.

- There's this vesta case engraved with golfers that is so saleable.

- [Timothy] Are these little items that you've picked up on your travels?

- That's right, I bought these things one off here and there and probably paid more than there was required.

- Well, I'm probably gonna embarrass myself here.

My offer at the moment is 180 pounds.

- That's a good bit.

- I think that's a good bid, Chris.

- Good bid, Chris.

And my offer is 176 pounds.

- My offer is 165 pounds.

- Very, very accurate.

- So we'll shake hands now Cromar, and I'll pack them up and put them in my car.

- I'm just going to have a little look inside here.

- [Zaraah] The dealer's bids may be close to each other, but none of them are anywhere near the top valuation.

- There we are.

- [Christopher] Yeah, 200.

- Well, I'm on catch up, 200 pounds.

- 240.

- 250.

- 260.

(tense music continues) - I'm out at 260.

- Okay.

- 320.

- 330.

- 340.

- 350.

- Bang, bang, bang.

I'm not seeing dealership here.

I'm not seeing two men thinking of profit.

I am seeing them pumping up against one another.

- He's not having it.

He's not having it.

He's a picture dealer, not a silver dealer.

I'm a silver dealer.

I want that silver.

- 380.

- 390.

- 400.

- What do you want out of there Christopher?

- Just one thing.

What do you want out of this for?

- A profit.

- Well, that's long gone.

- Just going in with one more, 410.

- 420.

- That is too much money.

That is way, way, way too much money.

But I'm in so far, 460.

- Oh, Timothy, Timothy, 480.

- 500 pounds Cromar, that is it.

- I'm out.

- Have we got a deal at 500 pounds?

- We have a deal at 500, congratulations.

- Cranky Moses.

(upbeat music) - I was quite surprised it went to that.

- I know that Tim spent too much.

Tim knows that he spent too much and Chris, Chris had a lucky escape.

- I wish Tim the best of luck with this lot.

I think he's gonna really be pushed to make a profit.

- I might as well have just put 200 pounds into the middle of the road and put a match to it.

Up in flames.

- [Zaraah] The Secret Dealers have truly met their match today.

So exactly how much cash has shrewd Cromar squeezed out of them.

- Very happy to hand over to you, sir.

- This looks lovely.

- 4,483 pounds of our very hardened money.

- Whoa, that's really lovely.

- [Zaraah] Indeed it is Cromar, enjoy your travels.

It's fair to say that the dealers let their emotions get the better of them today, but what kind of heartache will that have on their profits?

Christopher paid well over the valuation for the fly fishing book that reminded him of his father.

- 260.

Chris, that's very generous.

- It's got a sentimental value.

It's got nothing to do with money.

- [Zaraah] And it seems he just couldn't bear to part with it.

He also overpaid for the distressed mantle clock he wanted to bring back to life.

- It's in terrible condition, just the sort thing I love.

- I'm not so sure whether that item will see him with a huge profit.

- [Zaraah] Well, you could be right, Tim.

Christopher's still getting it restored, so it remains unsold.

Tim knew exactly when to stop when it came to the Victorian brass telescope, winning it with his top of the valuation bid of 250 pounds.

- I can see that in Hogarth Towers.

- [Zaraah] But it didn't stay there for long.

Tim couldn't miss an opportunity to make a profit and sold it on for 320 pounds.

However, he did get a little carried away in a battle with Christopher for the assorted silver items.

- 480.

- 500 pounds, Cromar.

There is a 200 pound loss in that without any hesitation.

- [Zaraah] But when Tim came to move them on, he got a nice surprise.

He only lost 100 pounds.

Every cloud, Tim, every cloud.

So could Alison keep a clearer head than the boys?

She knew what she was doing paying 500 pounds for the 25 Doulton figures as she plans to sell them at an upcoming Charles Dickens Festival.

Great expectations, but no profit as yet.

Alison bid over the scrap price for the kilo of solid silver, eventually paying 405 pounds.

- I can sell it as an item.

I don't have to go and scrap it.

- [Zaraah] Good thinking, Alison.

She sold it to a Canadian buyer for 699 pounds.

Good to see one of our dealers keeping their emotions in check.

- Ooh, woo (chuckling), joy!

- [Zaraah] Or not.
