A Bargain Hunt seller was taken aback by a scouser's cheeky bid on today's show.
Eric Knowles returned to front Thursday's edition of the popular BBC programme. Two more teams were given £300 and browsed an antique market in Wrexham to see who could make the biggest profit.
The red team consisted of Nikki and Ian, who hailed from Liverpool. The buyers were joined by Caroline Hawley on their search and were immediately grabbed by a pair of buttercup bar stools.

The buyers approached the seller, Brian, and were tempted into making a bid despite the high price. Ian said: "You've got £175 on the ticket and we were thinking about £70 for the pair."
The cheeky bid staggered Brian as he said through fits of laughter: "I better call the police, you're trying to rob me. That's OK, I'll make a phonecall."
The sellers would not go below £150 so the buyers walked away from the deal. Nikki and Ian embarked on a jam packed search and found their final item with just a couple of minutes left.
Nikki needed to sit down as they secured their final item as Caroline branded the hunt "stressful". The couple had secured a glass vase, a miniature corgi tram and a bronze Labrador for £188.
The red team made a loss of £78 when it went to auction and emerged victors as the blue team lost £128.
