The public bring in more items for the dealers to bid on. Today, there are two 1930s suitcases, a magic lantern, a condiment holder, a tin plate toy and a fairground car-come table.

Nigel Havers welcomes five more sellers to the Bidding Room, where they try to sell items to five professional dealers who are on the lookout for interesting pieces, with help from expert Simon Bower.

Opening seller today is Sophie with a pair of 1930s suitcases complete with original parts for carrying everything the discerning traveller would need for their personal care. She is hoping they might open the bidding with style.

Next in is Scott with a twister ride car that he has transformed into a table and chair. It’s certainly unique – and brings an unusual twist to the bidding. So can Scott ride off with the price he’s after?

Third of today’s would-be sellers is Alice with a magic lantern that she found in the loft. Can her new knowledge from Simon see her project a great deal in the bidding room?

Fourth in is Nigel with a silver condiment holder that he thinks will catch the dealers’ eye. So when he faces the dealers, will his sales tactics cut the mustard?

Completing the line-up is Dennis and his quirky tin plate, wind-up toy that goes both backwards and forwards. The dealers are intrigued, but who will splash out and take it home?

The dealers in today are Adi, Ian, Melissa, Samantha, JB, Estelle, Tash and James. So will any of them buy? And if they do, will any of them match, or even top, the valuation placed on each of the items?
