A Bargain Hunt expert pleaded 'no, no, no' as an auction went from bad to worse.
Charlie Ross returned to front Monday's edition of the popular BBC programme. Two more teams were given £300 and browsed an antiques fair in Oswestry to see who could make the biggest profit.
The blue team consisted of Irene and Michelle, who were assisted by expert, Ben Cooper. The buyers had an hour to find their items, but Irene and Michelle struggled to agree on what to purchase.
They eventually settled on a Japanese Satsuma plate from the early 20th century that Ben said would be worth between £20 to £30 at auction. With Irene taking the lead on haggling, the seller came down from £30 to £20.
However, Michelle had some concerns. She said: "You're paying £20 to get £20."
Irene responded: "But I think it will go for more." Michelle said: "OK, we will go with you."
Before the auction, Charlie met with auctioneer Matthew Tong to gauge how much the items the teams had bought were worth. When it came to the Satsuma plate, Matthew wasn't impressed.
He said: "They're not fashionable, nowadays you have to look at the fashions and they just don't fit in like they used to. Value £10 to £20."
During the auction, there was very little interest in the plate, causing Matthew to drop the price to £10. Charlie reacted to this, saying: "Oh, come on."
But even £10 didn't interest bidders and Matthew was forced to open offers to £5. After one person bid on the plate, Matthew tried to raise the price to £6.
However, there were no takers. As Matthew drew the bids to a close, Charlie said: "No, no, no - what on earth was that about?"
