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 proceedings today is Christine, with an ornate spice tin that she hopes will tickle the dealers’ tastebuds and cause a bidding war.

Second to face the dealers is Garry, with a carousel horse from the 60s that he is hoping will see him gallop away with a great sale.

Up next is David, with two Chinese statues made from soapstone. They may look like book ends, but David discovers they are something else entirely – so will anyone bite?

Fourth in is Beth, with an Edwardian display cabinet. She is looking for a buyer who will appreciate its mahogany beauty, but will she find one in the Bidding Room?

Last in is Adam, with a truly bizarre life-size dummy called Steve, depicting a sailor from the days of the Spanish Armada. Steve has been living in Adam’s front room, but with a baby on the way, Adam needs to find a new home for the quirky model and make some cash at the same time. So will any of our bidders want to take him home?

The dealers in today are Adi, Tash, JB, Estelle and Jo. 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?
