The first bid was GBP5, to which the auctioneer said: “500, yes we have 500 pence. Do I see 6?”, before he then saw bids of “600”, “700” and “800”.

The item finally sold for GBP10, or 1000 pence as he put it. After selling their bonus item, chosen by expert Kate Bliss, the Blue Team had an overall profit of GBP18, meaning they won today’s challenge. Bargain Hunt airs weekdays at 12.15pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer
