David Harper v Phil Serrell - Car Boot Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

the show that pitches TVs best-loved antiques experts

against each other in an all-out battle for profits.

Let's make hay while that sun shines.

Each day, one pair of duelling dealers will face

a mighty challenge...

I've got a heavy profit here.

..putting their reputations on the line.

Who's there?

They'll give you the insider's view of the trade...

HE GROWLS

..along with their top tips and savvy secrets...

That could present a problem for me.

..showing you how to make the most money...

Ready for battle.

..from buying and selling.

Get in there!

Coming up, Phil tells us what's hot right now...

This is bang on trend at the moment and that's most unusual for me.

But Indian and Eastern silver is really, really very,

very collectible.

..David's jumping for joy...

We're going partying, Richard. We're going partying.

..and it is full steam ahead when it comes to selling.

TRAIN WHISTLES

This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

Welcome, one and all, to cheery Chesterfield

where the bells of the famous crooked spire of St Mary's have been

tolling the arrival of two saints of the sellables

and angels of artefacts.

Today, they are descending into the misty morning

of Twin Oaks Car Boot ready to anoint the masses with money

and lead themselves to the Holy Land of profits.

First up, it's the wandering wiccan of Worcestershire

whose knowledge is as ancient as the cobwebs on his wallet.

It's St Philip "The Fox" Serrell.

As a rule, I don't like buying these.

And vying for a seat at the table is the charmed cherub of choosing,

the seraphim of sales,

a man whose trousers are brighter than a technicolour dream coat.

Yes, he is devilish, but sometimes

a saint. It's David Harper.

Check out the colour of that one! That's bang on trend.

They'll be hitting this car boot with £250 of their own money

to spend on whatever they think will turn them a profit

when it comes to selling. And all the money will go to charity.

But who will be victorious in this battle for Heaven,

Earth and, of course, the car boot?

But for now, David Harper and Philip Serrell,

it's time to put your money where your mouth is.

-Good morning, Philip.

-How are you, my friend?

-Very good, very good.

-Yeah, yeah.

-We might be a bit early.

Well, I thought these car boots started at the crack of dawn.

-It is now nearly 10.00...

-I know.

-..and there's nothing here

except there's a burger van down there and you can get a 99 up there.

-That sounds all right to me.

-You been to Chesterfield before?

-Several times. I like it.

-Seen the old curly-wurly spire?

-I've seen it.

-It's lovely.

-You can't see very much today.

-We've got the M1 tearing by there...

-Pardon?

-Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I know, I know.

-So, 250 to spend.

-Yeah, what are you going to buy?

-Well, I don't know.

-You know car boots, I mean...

-Pff, get a hat, mate.

-A hat?

-Yeah.

You are just jealous of the scarf, aren't you?

-That's not a scarf, that's a curtain.

-I'm copying you.

-It's identical to yours. It's better than yours.

-Get in there.

So, having discussed their fashion faux pas

and with the gates wide-open and the crowds descending,

exactly how will Devilish be tackling this car boot?

It used to be that I would get a great thrill

and a buzz out of buying antiques from a car boot,

but the market has changed so dramatically

that now the look is all about vintage - '60s, '70s, '80s.

So, that's more of the look and the buying I'll be going for.

Yes, like a chameleon of the collectibles,

David is ready to blend in with his car boot crowd.

Phil, however, is feeling like a fish out of water.

I'm under the cosh a bit here because this is not the

natural habitat of P Serrell and I fear it might be for D Harper.

He's going to be in there buying stuff everywhere

and I'm just sort of going to be quietly looking, I think.

I'm a bit daunted.

Ooh, not the most confident of first steps.

Meanwhile, Devilish isn't just meandering the stalls,

he's downright strutting.

Morning. Hey, great to see you.

# I'm walkin' on sunshine... #

You know, I absolutely love this place.

Not because of the goods,

purely because I know Philip Serrell hates car boots. Ha!

Well, you may be right there.

As across the boot sale, the Fox seems off form.

How much is the table and chairs, please?

I've got 250 on them, but I'm very much open to negotiation.

Yeah, I wouldn't get even close to that, my friend.

You can take a two off, is where I am with them.

-Really, 50?

-Yeah. Yeah.

This really is a totally alien culture to me.

If you want to buy blue sheets, there's tonnes of them here.

Mm, with our wily wanderer feeling a little out of sorts

and needing to find his merchandise mojo,

across the field, David is in high spirits.

In fact, he is in high fidelity.

-This is a great way to start a car boot fair!

-Yeah.

-I mean, it's just fantastic. It's 1920s or '30s, isn't it?

-Yeah, yeah.

I mean, that is for fun days out.

You go on a picnic with your friends and family

and you'd just play it by the river, wouldn't you?

-Have a singsong.

-Have a singsong.

If I break it, I suppose I've got to buy it.

Well, funny you should say that, David, as the Laughing Policeman

is laughing no more.

RECORD SKIPS

It's rubbish. Richard, it's rubbish.

Come on, Richard, you can do it!

What sort of money is it to me, if we can get it to actually work?

-100.

-100 quid?

It's all the money, isn't it, as we say?

80 and we're there.

-If you can get it to play, I'll have it for 80. How's that?

-Yeah, yeah.

RECORD PLAYS OUT OF TIME

Well, that doesn't sound so good.

-It's the needle, I think. I'll have to change the needle.

-Yeah.

Always make sure your needle's in good order.

Yes.

RECORD PLAYS SLIGHTLY OUT OF TIME

RECORD SLOWLY PLAYS IN TIME

I'm not ready yet.

RECORD PLAYS CORRECTLY

THEY LAUGH

We're going partying, Richard. We're going partying. I love it.

80 quid. Thank you very much.

And David secures the party piece along with a small

collection of records for a chart-topping £80,

but will it spin him a profit?

Quite a remarkable find, I think,

and quite a big spend also for a car boot.

It's actually called a grafonola, which is not a gramophone.

Gramophone is the big fixed ones with the huge speakers.

This grafonola has the speaker built in and of course,

made to transport.

Remarkable, really.

So well put together and screaming Art Deco

and so well engineered. This little dish here holds your needles.

But when you close the lid, this rubber stopper

pushes down into the needles and keeps them in position.

And then the mark at the back, "A Hindley, Nottingham,"

which is quite close to here. I'm kind of thinking in my head here,

"Do I go vintage, go and try to sell it to a tea room?

"Or do I take it to someone who really knows music?"

So, delightful purchase and we are going to have some fun with it,

that's for sure.

So, David's record player has him

dancing away with one purchase to his opponent's nil.

Because it seems Phil is grooving to a different beat today -

the solitary samba.

Absolute feeding frenzy, there is here.

After a little rummaging, he finally spots something

he likes the look of, but probably couldn't use himself.

-Beauty.

-Is that right?

-Yeah. It's gorgeous.

No-one has ever said to me, "You ought to buy this. It's awful."

SHE LAUGHS

No, but you know the value of that anyway.

-HE MUMBLES

-I'm not making any money at ten.

-You want a tenner for it?

-Yeah.

-Is that the best?

-That is definitely the best.

-Go on, I'll give you a tenner.

-You know that.

I'll give you a tenner for it. Thank you very much indeed.

So, the sun isn't shining, I've got a deck chair that

I wouldn't even get me foot in, let alone me behind.

Why would I buy that?

Well, for £10, I think it's a real good bit of fun.

And it's the sort of thing that you are either going to sell

to someone with a young child or a great thing for a doll

or a teddy bear collector.

Well, that's what I'm hoping.

Well, with at least a modicum of...

let's say optimism, Phil wanders wearily away

while David pounces in on the same stall,

spots a vintage Harrods hamper basket

and quickly spends £10 on it.

So, this is probably the closest I will ever get to receiving

a Harrods hamper.

But what a lovely thing to receive at Christmas time, something,

a gift like that would be just dreamy.

I mean, it's a very basic basket, but I love the shape of it.

That kind of D-end shape and the combination of the wicker as well.

So it's really good quality.

Date-wise, almost impossible to sort of pinpoint,

so let's just call it vintage.

At ten quid, there's got to be a bit of a profit on there.

Maybe a double bubble, meaning 20 quid. Thank you very much.

So, David is sailing ahead with two buys to Phil's one.

It seems our Fox needs to get back on course and quickly.

Perhaps this compass will help.

-It looks to be off a small boat.

-Yes.

It looks like it's somewhere between the '50s and '60s.

Yeah, I would say so myself.

And it looks like it's got a retail value of something

between 50 and 80 quid, I would think.

Well, that's rather sporting of Phil,

letting the vendor know the market value before making an offer.

Which means I've got to try and buy it for 20, 30 quid, really.

If that's any good to you.

Hm, maybe not so sporting.

-£25, that's all I've got, really.

-I think it's worth a little bit more.

-What's the best you'll do?

-I'll do 30 quid.

-30?

-Yeah.

Go on, I'll have a deal with you. At least I'll be able

to find me way home. There we are. Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you.

Yes, Phil proving there that he is not a complete

fish out of water as he picks up a nautical knick-knack.

This is a ship's compass and what I love about it,

this would have been bolted to the deck of the ship, or a small boat,

and however stormy the seas were, you always knew that you were

heading on course.

It's an English one, there's a London maker's mark just there.

And then there's the model number there.

I've just got to hope that it's going to keep me on the

straight and narrow for a profit.

Indeed, Phil.

With two buys in the bag,

the Fox is working hard to navigate his way back into this competition.

Meanwhile, David is sticking to his strategy of buying vintage

and has spotted the chance to refuel with a well-used petrol can.

So, tell me about it. What do you know?

Well, this one's quite rare cos it's got an eight on it.

That was basically the price, eight shillings,

so that one was later, but the later ones never really survived.

-So, the eight means it's what?

-Eight shillings.

-A gallon? Is that right?

-Yeah, I think so.

-That's interesting.

I didn't know that. OK. So, date-wise, what are we thinking?

-I'd say it's about '50s.

-1950s?

-Are you big into this stuff, are you?

-Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it.

I love the cap as well.

-That's a very different cap as well, actually.

-Why?

It hasn't got Esso on it whereas usually they have Esso on it.

This is really good information.

-I'm going to have to try and buy this off of you, aren't I?

-Yeah.

-It's not going to come to me at ten, is it?

-No.

-What's it going to come to me at?

-15 will be my best.

-15, I'm going to have it. Good man.

-Thank you.

-Lots of luck to you.

# On the road again... #

You know, I do love this business

because you do genuinely learn something new every day.

And such a delight also to learn from such a young dealer

who is really passionate and knowledgeable.

Knowledge is power and power is money.

Yes, Devilish there proving that old dogs can learn new tricks,

while Phil is trying some old tricks on a new dog.

Hello.

How are you?

Oh, look at you.

How much?

No, he's not for sale, Phil.

And with that, we are already at the midway point of this buying

bonanza, so let's see which one of our angels of antiques is

trumpeting their treasures and which is praying for purchases.

From a £250 budget, David has three purchases and has

spent £105,

which leaves him with £145 for the rest of the day.

Phil has had a slow start

and spent just £40 on two items,

leaving him £210 in the kitty.

-David, how are you, my friend?

-All right, all right.

-Are you struggling?

-Yeah.

-It's a car boot.

Yeah, there's a lot of cars.

-Yeah, a lot of boots.

-Yeah, a lot of boots.

No, I'm finding it tough and I don't mind admitting it.

-I'm not a regular car boot goer.

-No.

And it's like a totally different society for me. I just...

-It's tough, isn't it?

-Yeah, but look around you.

At least there are people.

When we first arrived, we were the only people in the field.

-But you can't buy people.

-Yeah, but people have things to sell.

-Really?

-Are we on the same programme?

-I'll go and have a look, then.

So, as our pair disappear back into the car boot chaos,

it is clear that the Fox has only one thing on his mind.

I know that David Harper is really, really good at this,

so I'm going to have to be on his case here.

What I've really got to do is focus my mind and try to find a bargain.

So, with boilers suddenly fired up, Phil goes full steam ahead

and tracks down three mounted locomotives.

These are quite fun, these, aren't they?

How much are these, please?

-I'll do 15 on the lot.

-I don't actually know what they are.

Well, they're trains. I'll give you a tenner for the lot.

-Go on, then.

-There we are. You're a gentleman, thank you.

Yeah, so a £5 discount

and Phil rolls off with an arm full of nostalgia.

And if he wanted to know what a train sounds like...

Diddly-dum, diddly-dum, diddly-dum, diddly-dum.

These are just fun things.

No great age to them, probably made out of resin,

but they're just models of different trains

and there are so many train and railway memorabilia enthusiasts out

there that I'm sure there's a profit in these at £10.

I've just got to hope, really, that I don't get derailed.

Yes, let's hope so, old chap.

Now, with Phil in full stride,

it's not long before he spots his next potential purchase.

Isn't that lovely quality? How much is that?

It's £40.

Now, while Phil has taken to telling the car booter

the value of their items, some do come prepared.

-And how much are these?

-110.

-You know the value of the stuff, don't you? You're good.

-Hard work.

Too good, you are. Too good.

Now, what about this ropey old thing, then?

This one is 70.

I like that.

Quite malleable, which is a good indication that it's silver.

The thing that just really doesn't help this

is this inscription just here.

"Miss Rich, in deep appreciation, Dr and Mrs FR Parrikar."

-Be lovely if that wasn't on there.

-Yes.

It's a nice thing that, but I can't give you 70 quid for it.

For me to get a profit out of it, it's like £45.

-OK, I will do for you 50 for that.

-50?

-Yeah.

Thank you very much indeed.

Blimey, that £50 purchase doubles Phil's outlay so far.

So, why was he seduced by the silver?

This is bang on trend at the moment.

That's most unusual for me, but Indian and Eastern silver,

it's really, really, very, very collectible.

Now, this is silver, doesn't have a hallmark on it, so the correct

way to sell it is as Indian white metal,

but I love these designs here.

We've got all these fantastic landscapes all around.

The only thing that in a way I'm disappointed with is this cartouche,

or this shield, that is engraved.

Now, I've got a number of options here.

One is to try and find someone who's associated with

the people in here or I get it polished out.

I'm inclined just to leave it and just sell it just as it is.

I think it's a really, really lovely thing.

And with that fourth buy in the bag,

the Fox has surprised even himself.

This is really uncommon ground for me

because I've bought the things that I wanted to and I'm...

feeling quite confident about it.

This could all go horribly wrong.

Optimistic as ever.

Meanwhile, Devilish is again following in Phil's

footsteps and has been sucked in by the silver stall.

You have quite a collection of watches here.

-That one, how much would that one be?

-35.

-35.

-Silver.

It is silver.

So, made in Birmingham, there's your Birmingham mark.

Date-wise, it's been rubbed off.

So we have the silver passant, we have the anchor.

-Do you know why Birmingham has the anchor?

-No way.

Well, there's a number of stories, but the best one is that

many years ago a Birmingham and Sheffield silversmith...

CLOCK TICKS

..and they couldn't quite...

CLOCK TICKS

This is probably after about ten gallons of cider,

we'll have the anchor and that's why

the Birmingham silversmiths used the anchor.

Well, the hands of time have certainly moved on.

In case you've forgotten, the vendor originally wanted £35 for the watch.

-Can it be any cheaper for me?

-30.

-30, is that the best?

-That's the best.

Well, you can't go wrong, 30 quid for a silver pocket watch, can you?

Thank you very much indeed. I'll have that. Thank you.

I'm not a great lover of pocket watches, I've got to tell you.

Wristwatches, I absolutely adore, but pocket watches

are becoming quite fashionable with the hipsters in certain areas.

You can see, can't you, a tweed suit wearing it?

It would look pretty smart.

So, we have the Roman numerals around the face

and then the Arabic on the second-hand, solid silver.

So, at 30 quid, it's not a bad buy.

The kind of money it would make in auction, just for scrap value.

So, all right for me.

And all right for us.

Meanwhile, the Fox has been lured in by an Edwardian napkin ring.

-I will let you have it for a pound.

-A pound? Are you sure? Pound?

-Honestly?

-If you think it's worth more, you must give me more.

I will leave it to you.

I think it's worth more, but I don't want to give you more.

Yes, that's the Phil we all know,

but the lady hasn't quite finished with the Fox.

With conditions attached.

-Go on, then. What's that?

-I want a kiss.

ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS

Well, a pound and a kiss, but has Phil really got a bargain?

What a really, really lovely lady. And she sold me a pure profit here.

The real sad thing for me is if you see that number five there,

this would originally have been a case set of six silver rings

and now there's only one left.

So where the other five are, Lord knows.

But I think this is lovely and this is typical of the period.

The way it's got these scrolls and flower heads on it.

No great weight there. In terms of scrap silver...

there's probably less than an ounce. So in today's market,

that's about £8, but that's far too good to go in the melting pot.

So that lip-smacking deal puts Phil up five items to David's four.

And as we reach the final throes of today's forage for the finest,

the race is on to find the best this car boot has left to offer.

Our keen-eyed twosome must now root through the chaff

and find the wheat.

Track down the treasures,

grasp the gems,

or in Phil's case,

spend a fiver on a chair that's got flatulence fatigue.

I love this chair.

It dates back to the mid-19th century.

It's a north country ladder-back armchair

and it's just a really lovely, but totally unloved chair.

There's some beautiful turnings here, look.

Where this has worn down, that's where someone's put their feet on that bottom bar

and it's worn it down and worn it down.

What am I going to do with it?

I can either get it restored, that's going to add cost,

or I could sell it to someone who's going to do the work.

It's completely unloved.

In fact, I know just how it feels.

Oh, poor old Phil.

Hang on a second!

Just a moment ago you were smooching a stallholder.

Yes.

Well, while the Fox goes to find a little more love,

Devilish, the king of retro,

is considering a career move

and has eyes on becoming the king of rock and roll.

Please tell me that's an Elvis onesie.

It is.

-Have you ever worn it?

-Once.

-LAUGHS:

-Once and once only.

-Once, everybody laughed at me.

-Did they? No, I'm so surprised(!)

I mean, it looks quite big. Can I have a closer look at it?

I mean, I will let you handle it

-cos it's quite a valuable object, I'm sure.

-There you go.

You know, I think that's quite stylish, don't you? Seriously.

-It is very stylish.

-How much is it?

-£2.

-£2?!

You know, where else in the world would you buy a second-hand

Elvis onesie than a car boot?

Ugh, nowhere, David, nowhere.

I think I've just got to have it. There's no negotiating here.

Thank you very much indeed.

So, a cheeky £2 deal and Devilish gets to live out a lifelong dream.

I really just don't know what to say apart from...

Uh-huh-huh.

Yeah, viva Las Vegas, David.

It's amazing, I've bought all my objects and people are still here!

That's really quite rare because car boots seem to just,

from nowhere, close up and everybody disappears.

I've bought some good things, but my favourite is the music system,

the grafonola, or as we like to call it in the trade,

the grafono-lah!

Well, Harper may have crossed the finish line first,

but it seems the Fox hasn't given up on the race

as he pulls over for a pit stop, spends £8

and pulls away with a modern Scalextric set.

This really does throw me back to my childhood -

and yes, I can remember that long ago -

when my dad bought me one of these model racing sets.

I think they're really cool, really wicked.

Now, there's no age to this at all.

At £8, I think this is really, really cheap

and you know, I'm a real car man.

I know enough car people

and I reckon I could sell that to one of them.

Then I can get to have a go on it as well. Ha-ha!

Yeah, you big kid, you.

And with that, our pilgrimage of purchasing is at an end,

so let's see what they spent at the car boot.

From £250, David bought five items

and spent over half his budget, £137.

Phil wanted some bargains today and he got more for less.

Seven items cost him £114.

But before they part ways, there's time for a little show and tell.

Wow, gosh, Phil. I mean, we could set up our own car boot stall here.

We might have to. How have you got on?

Well, I think you have to cover the miles.

We must have walked ten miles today.

-I was six foot three when I started.

-You've walked yourself down!

The thing is, everything I bought perhaps a little bit more than it should have been.

-I'm feeling exactly the same.

-Yeah.

Car boots should be bargains.

Actually, I don't think I've necessarily bought a bargain.

So what's your best buy?

Oh, without a doubt, this baby here. I love it to bits.

You know, think of a picnic, sunshine, wonderful,

-great atmospheric sort of thing.

-How much was it?

-80 quid.

-£80?

-It's not car boot money, is it?

-Well, I love this.

-This is my dearest buy. A little piece of Indian silver.

-Yeah.

£50.

You see, you think you go to a car boot, that should be a fiver,

that should be a tenner but you don't find that.

Which was your cheapest lot?

-Oh, I bought a proper car boot purchase...

-Really?

-..and I think you are going to love it.

-What was that?

Elvis Presley onesie for £2.

What an earth is an Elvis Presley onesie?

Haven't you got a onesie?

-Don't tell me you don't have a onesie.

-No!

Everybody in the world has a onesie.

I would rather have my little hallmarked, silver

napkin ring for a pound.

-That's a car boot buy.

-It's hallmarked silver, you know.

So what did you spend, Phil?

About 110.

Just over that. You?

Yeah, 130-something.

Not a load of money, but I don't think

we've bought a load of great stuff, to be honest.

We certainly haven't covered ourselves in glory, have we?

I'll tell you one thing, I think your onesie that you paid a twosie for, that could be a 50p-sie, mate.

I'd be very pleased with a 50p-sie, to be honest.

-Good luck, mate.

-And we are going to need some luck with this one.

-We really are.

-Absolutely. Help!

They may be concerned about selling their booty, but sell it they must.

And so, our rummaging rascals hoof it home

to plan their attack.

They need to line up deep-pocketed buyers

and then haggle their way to victorious profit.

Back at his Worcestershire lair,

Phil is assessing his arsenal.

My best lot was undoubtedly this little Indian silver trophy.

That's a really, really good quality thing.

It's flavour of the month at the moment and I'm hoping that

someone is going to show me a profit on my outlay.

The trains - I think lots and lots of people collect train

memorabilia, so I'm hoping there's a profit in those.

The deck chair is clearly way, way too small for me,

so I'm going to have to try and find someone that will fit into it.

The chair, it was a weaker moment.

£5 and you can't even sit in it.

I might be in trouble with that.

Yes, that could be tricky.

And Phil also has to find buyers for his ship's compass,

his Edwardian napkin ring

and his racing set.

Over at Harper Hall, David seems happier with his purchases.

Wow, I'll tell you what, what an odd collection.

The petrol tin, I love it.

Great pal of mine has two wonderfully exotic cars.

He wants to build a collection of motorbilia,

so that will find a home.

And then the grafonola, it is just magic

and on rooting around inside the box,

I found spare needles.

There must be about 100 in there, which is fantastic.

Finally, the silver pocket watch.

I would love to sell this to somebody who is going to use it.

In some quarters, it's quite fashionable now to wear

kind of Edwardian-type clothing.

So, quite an interesting bunch of stuff.

So, David also needs to line up buyers for his vintage hamper

and not forgetting his Elvis onesie.

Both our experts are raring to go, hitting the phones,

the internet and the road in a bid to turn their purchases

into profit and accumulate the most money for their chosen charities.

But no deal is sealed until they have shaken on it

and the money has changed hands.

Phil is starting his selling spree on his home turf of Worcestershire.

And not only is he taking a trip down memory lane,

but he is also going back to school.

# Hey, teacher!

# Leave those kids alone. #

Now, I know you might find it hard to believe that I was educated,

but I did go to RGS Worcester and I am at their prep department to see

if I can find someone who is going to fit in my little deckchair.

Now, please bear with Phil,

he may be slightly disorientated as the chalk and slate of his youth

has been replaced by modern pens and paper.

And look, Phil, it's all in colour!

The child's deckchair cost Phil a tenner.

And he is hoping headmistress Laura Brown can find a home for it.

-Hello, pleased to see you.

-Good to see you. How are you?

-Lovely to see you. How are you today?

-I'm back at school.

-I know. Welcome.

-Who have they got for lesson?

-Mrs Salisbury

with our lovely Dragonflies, our reception class.

I've got to tell you, I was never ever this well-behaved.

-I bet you were.

-No, no. I know I wasn't.

Look what I've brought.

I mean, clearly, if I sit in there...

It's not going to work very well.

No personal offence intended.

-That's harsh, isn't it? That's really harsh.

-I can't sit in there either.

There we go, that's two of us.

No, no, no, no, I'll let you off on that.

I thought it was really, really sweet.

I was kind of thinking you could use it in a school play or, you know,

some sort of creative role, like that, really.

For this age group children, we do a lot of role-plays

and in the summer, this classroom will set up a beach.

What we are trying to do is really make the learning fun

and really bring the learning to life for them

and this deck chair would be just brilliant.

But what we do need to do, if it's all right with you,

is just check that it's the right size for the children.

-Can I get a volunteer over?

-Yeah, you can.

Time for four-year-old Sophia to see if the chair meets

with her exacting standards.

Do you think you could try that deckchair and see if it's really comfy for me, Sophia?

Do you think we should have this deckchair for our classroom?

So it's passed the Sophia test, now Phil needs to push the price.

Well, I was hoping I might get, well, I don't know, £30, £35 for it?

What's your best price?

I'm going to give you my very best, one-off price.

-Go on, your very, very best.

-Just for you. 20 quid.

-Done. Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

Phil's doubled his money, making a studious £10 profit.

Now, are you sitting comfortably?

An antique is a really, really old thing.

How old do you think I am?

132.

151.

-Well, I think you're all being rotten to me.

-64.

-11.

-11?

I like you.

I'm nice Phil and I am in competition with a man called

-dastardly David.

-Dastardly David.

That's the very one.

And I've got to sell my antiques for more money than him.

So, who do we want to win?

-ALL:

-Nice Phil.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Ah, and while Jackanory Phil is in a moneymaking mood,

he sells his 19th-century chair to antiques dealer David in Ledbury.

-So, a tenner?

-Yeah.

A gentleman. Thank you so much.

Making a fiver profit and doubling his money again.

So, wily Phil is in the lead.

But revving his engine and ready to fight back, it's our David.

He's brought the vintage petrol can to show car enthusiast Indy

and hopes he can motor away with more than the £15 he paid for it.

-This is one of the best man caves I've ever seen.

-It's great.

-It is great.

-You clearly love your cars, Indy.

I do. I like my classic cars.

I think classic cars have a lot more character.

Now, Indy, this is a fantastic man cave, but it could be perfect.

What you need is a collection of man-tiques.

This is a prime example of the kind of thing that you want.

I have been interested in some vintage memorabilia

and this looks quite good.

So, tell me a little bit about it.

Well, it's probably '40s or 1950s, something like that.

It's been repainted, but I think you can see

evidence of its earlier, original paint underneath.

It's definitely seen better days, though, David.

You're not going to put petrol in it, are you?

Absolutely not because it'll come out of the bottom with all the holes.

Oh, I didn't spot them.

It's a nice piece of memorabilia, isn't it?

I guess you have a price in mind.

Well, I was thinking 35.

I was thinking more of a tenner, really, David.

Ten?! Oh, my gosh.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Let's do it for 30.

I'll tell you what I'll do. £20 and a blast in the Cobra.

We'll make it 25, plus a blast on a nice summer's day.

£22 and a blast in the Cobra.

-And is lunch on you?

-I'll do lunch as well.

-Good man.

-Why don't I give you a taster and start the car up now?

-Fire the baby up.

-Let's do it.

-ENGINE REVS LOUDLY

-Whoa!

My goodness that's a noisy £7 profit

and the promise of a summer joyride.

Now, with his ears ringing,

David goes off in search of some peace and quiet.

Still in the lead, and under the cover of darkness,

Phil has hatched a plan for his unusual piece of Indian silverware.

Worcester isn't only famous for its sauce,

but also its curry houses.

And I'm here to see Manir,

and I hope that not only is he going to buy this off me,

he's also going to tell me what it is.

It set Phil back £50,

but will restaurateur Manir be able to reveal its silvery secrets?

Wow, this is very nice.

All this decoration is Indian, Asiatic in design?

It is very traditional Indian design.

-An overlapping relief, isn't it?

-Yes, yes.

-This is 19th century, isn't it?

-Yes.

So, this possibly would have been made of silver rupees or

-something like that.

-Yes. Silver rupees.

There's no hallmark on it. Is that meant to look like an Indian village

-with these trees and these fronds here?

-Yes, all this...

The houses, this is India.

This is the Middle East.

-How do you know that?

-Date trees only grow in Middle East.

-Really?

-Yes.

-And how do you know that's a date tree?

-Different shaped leaves.

That's very cool. I just didn't know that.

If you look at this inscription around here,

-"Miss Rich, in deep appreciation, Dr and Mrs FR..."

-Parekh.

-Parekh.

-Indian surname.

-It's a rich name.

-Higher class.

-Highest class name, yeah.

Definitely Indian, yes.

So, what would it have been used for?

Back in the days, there was no aftershave, no perfumes.

-So, what did they do with that?

-So, they used to burn a tree,

-a tree called oud.

-An oud tree.

-Yeah.

Very, very scented, very expensive.

And you'd put your bit of oud tree in there,

and you'd set fire to it...

-Yeah.

-..and then the...

the scent would infuse into your body, your clothes,

-your house, everything.

-Everything.

It used to be used only in the king families, royal families.

No-one else could afford this kind of thing.

-So, is that something that would interest you?

-Yes.

-I do collect these.

-You do?

-Yes.

It's getting better by the minute, this does.

Well, lucky old Foxy, without even knowing what it was,

he has stumbled across a collector.

I was hoping I might sell it for something around like £120,

something like that.

I'll give you 80 quid.

What about if I split the difference with you?

-Deal. Done.

-You done? You are a good man. Thank you very much indeed.

That £100 deal gives Phil a £50 profit

and he doubles his money again!

That's not to be sniffed at.

Feel like I could do with a bit of oud myself at the minute, actually.

I have got some, actually. I use that quite a lot.

-And you use this now at home?

-Yeah, I use it instead of perfume.

-Oh, that's lovely.

-Yes. Very.

And with the sweet smell of success tantalising his nostrils,

Phil moves on to his Edwardian napkin ring,

selling it to silver collector Roddy.

Why don't we say 21?

Do you know what? I like the profit margin in that.

-Well...

-It's good, isn't it?

That's a cracking return on Phil's £1 investment,

making him a profit of £20 and

pushing him further into the lead

with four sales to David's one.

Well, that's a really good mark-up.

Who knows, I might even win.

The Fox is hoping for victory.

But, back in Barnard Castle, Devilish David

has plenty more antiques ammunition, including his vintage hamper.

He's brought it to show Emma, who runs a gift hamper business.

He picked it up for a tenner, but can he fill it with profit?

Let me see if I can tempt you to buy a one-off, very special hamper.

This is something, I think, altogether different.

It is, isn't it?

-Now, I bought it at a car boot fair.

-Right.

-But it's a posh hamper.

It is very posh, yeah.

Reputedly, it comes from an incredibly posh

-central London store.

-Right. It's a very unique shape.

Yeah, it's got the carry handles,

so it's made to go on a picnic somewhere, I'm guessing.

-It would be perfect for a picnic, absolutely.

-Ideal.

Look at the fact that you've got these leather straps.

-It's not plastic. It is actually leather.

-Yeah.

So, it's a very good quality thing.

How much do you pay for your hampers?

For one about that size, perhaps a bit shorter, I'd pay around £18.

Obviously, I buy them wholesale, so that's a little bit cheaper.

And this is a one-off, and mine are all...

pretty standard shapes and sizes.

-So, would you, for a one-off, pay double that? £36.

-£36?

That's a little bit more than I was expecting. Let me have a think.

-I wouldn't pay £36 for it, David.

-You wouldn't?

-No, I...

When I looked at it,

that said that that was about a 20 quid basket to me.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Could it be a £30 basket?

-No.

-OK.

You could edge me over 20 but not far.

-Why don't we meet in the middle?

-25...

-Let's do it.

-22.5?

-Go on.

For goodness' sake. Are you going to throw in a pie?

-I'll give you a pie.

-Marvellous!

So, David stuffs £12.50 into his profit pot and gets to stuff

his face, too.

This is the way to do business.

And that brings us to the halfway mark, and it's time to reunite

our dealers and find out who's in the lead.

-Welcome to my office.

-Good to see you.

-How are you getting on?

-I'm on a roll. I'm on fire. How about you?

-Well, it's all going.

-I mean, it's all going, actually.

-Well, let's see where we are, then.

-One for you.

-Right, what does yours say?

"So far, you've made less profit than your opponent."

-You're the one that's on fire!

-Yes!

I was going to call you a loser because I'm doing really well!

No-one's ever called me a winner before. Ever, ever, ever.

-I didn't call you a winner.

-Loser.

-I called you a loser.

Worryingly...

I feel quite confident at the minute.

-That's normally when it all goes wrong.

-That's the spirit, Phil.

He's currently leading, but by how much?

I'll tell you what, let's have a look at the figures.

Trailing slightly, David has done two deals

and has a profit of £19.50 in his pocket,

but, in the lead, Phil has sold four of the seven items,

racking up a solid starting profit of £85.

So, ever-cunning Phil has sweet-talked his way into an early

lead, but David is not going down without a fight. Oh, no.

He is headed to Kent and he is ready to turn the tables with his turntable.

Right, well, I've come to see my friend Paul Rudd.

Now, Paul is a music producer and he lives and breathes music.

So, of all the people I know, this thing should be right up his street.

The grafonola cost him £80,

but can spin doctor David groove off with a profit?

Now, you are big into music. You're passionate about music.

I am indeed.

This is state-of-the-art, transportable music,

-circa 1920s, 1930s.

-OK.

-In remarkable condition.

-It's surprising, isn't it?

-Yeah. Something like this, I'd expect it

-to be a lot bigger.

-Yeah.

And it carries just like a case. It is so beautifully made.

And very stylish and fashionable, from its day.

And just before we play that record, just feel that.

-Wow.

-Doesn't that feel lovely?

-Yeah.

You know, vinyl, everyone thought it had its day.

And now, you've got really big-named artists pressing their albums

on vinyl again, which is fantastic.

This is the Cumberland Gap.

-Let me play it to you.

-Sounds like a sausage, but, you know...

-DAVID LAUGHS

-It does, doesn't it?

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

So, silence...

RECORD PLAYS AT DOUBLE SPEED

RECORD PLAYS AT NORMAL SPEED

I'm speechless.

This definitely would create a talking point.

I actually do have one but it's not quite the same.

-Do you know the term "put a sock in it"?

-Yeah.

-Do you know it comes from that?

-Really?

The very early ones had no control on the sound.

And if someone shouted, "Turn that music down!"

the only way they could do it was to put a sock in the horn.

-And muffle the sound.

-I am surprised how loud that was.

-Yeah.

-And there's no control on this.

-No.

-It's all or nothing.

But if you want to calm it down, you could pad it literally with

-socks, or a T-shirt, or something to calm it down.

-Wow.

-The condition of it is brilliant.

-It's actually remarkable.

But I do actually like collecting old sort of music memorabilia

things and something like this would just be great.

These discs are actually thrown in.

David Harper's best hits?

Can I tempt you?

What would something like this sort of be worth?

If I said to you 160, I don't think you would go far wrong.

I'd be happy, I'll say, 130.

I'll meet you at 145.

-140 and you've got a deal.

-Good man.

-Thank you very much.

Thank you, Paul.

David is back in the race with that £60 profit

and that is music to his ears.

You know what? I'm doubly happy about that sale because that

grafonola really needed to go to a home

that's going to appreciate it.

And, guess what, it's going to be used regularly.

And that is magnificent.

But Phil is still in the lead.

And he's hoping his next sale will keep him on track.

When I bought these, I knew I had got to find a train buff

and here I have and here I am

at Norchard Station on the Dean Forest Railway.

The Fox is hoping train buff Chris will give him

a profitable return on his £10 stake,

but will need to steam in with a charming sales pitch.

Now, you must be Chris. Good to see you, my friend.

Let me just put it down.

-Now, that engine looks absolutely fantastic.

-Yeah.

And it's just an age gone by,

there's no-one that can be failed to be captivated by that, is there?

-No, there's not.

-Are you a volunteer here?

Yes, I'm a fireman here at the Dean Forest Railway.

-Fireman - they don't put out fires.

-No.

-Makes them.

-Makes fires.

-Yeah, so you're the shoveller.

-Yes.

-That sounds like hard work to me.

-It is hard work at times.

-My interest in this, really,

is that as a child, I used to travel on a steam railway.

It was fantastic, you know?

And that probably just shows how old I am, really.

How exactly did you get involved?

My father is a railwayman, and his grandfather was a railwayman.

-So, steam just runs in the blood?

-Yes.

Well, I bought these in a car boot, I know nothing about them.

Go on, tell me what you think.

My guess is they might be ten years old. Is that a fair comment?

Yeah, that would be about right, I think.

And now, here's a loaded question, what would they have cost?

-£10, £15 each at the time.

-Well, that's not too bad.

-I was kind of hoping I might get ten quid apiece for them.

-Ahh...

I'd be thinking more 20, 25.

-£25 is your best offer?

-Yes.

-I'm going to take that. There is a proviso.

-And what's that?

-Can I have a go on the train?

-You are more than welcome.

Oh, come on, then!

Phil chugs further into the lead with that £15 profit

and transforms from antiques ace dealer

to locomotive fab controller.

Yeah, FAB controller.

TRAIN WHISTLES

TRAIN WHISTLES

And, determined to continue on his route to victory, he sets sail for

Malvern, to show his vintage ship's compass to antiques dealer Jeremy...

Is 55 any use to you?

-£55?

-Yeah.

-I'm going to shake your hand, sir. Thank you very much.

..and he navigates his way to a £25 profit -

that's six items sold to David's three.

But the Devilish one is using his time wisely.

He wants to find out all he can about his silver pocket watch -

so he's brought it to London to show watch expert Johnny.

-Now, you must be Johnny.

-Hi. How are you?

Now, you've been dealing in watches for how long?

-40 years now.

-40 years?

-Yeah.

Now, I bought this thing - I'd love your thoughts on it.

The date letter's been scratched out

but there might be another mark on the inside...

-Yeah. It's Birmingham 1918...

-Yeah.

Swiss, although the case is English.

I see, so it's a Swiss movement imported, then, isn't it?

-Yeah, Swiss-made...

-Yeah.

-15-jewel movement.

The actual case is nice, the dial's in nice condition,

it's got its original hands on it.

I'll tell you what's interesting with this watch -

the year it was made.

There must have been very few people buying watches at the end of the war.

The working man in the street could not afford to buy a pocket watch.

-They were a fortune, they were like, £50, £60, a year's salary.

-Wow!

So probably an officer's watch. Fully restored...

I'd sell something like that for...£150.

Yeah. Yeah.

But it's going to cost me £150 to do up

-so it's not a watch...

-No.

-..you know, I'd want to buy.

I know lots of people would like to buy a watch like that, cos it's something from the past.

-Doesn't matter it's not working, it's just a piece of dress furniture.

-Yeah, it is.

-I'd sell it for 50 or 60 quid.

-50, 60 quid, you'd probably do fine.

-They'll be happy and you'll be happy.

-Absolutely.

Well, if I can find a buyer. But you're not the buyer.

-I hope it didn't cost you a lot, did it?

-30 quid.

-30 quid, that's all right.

-For an amateur.

-Oh, thank you very much(!)

Now, then, talking about non-amateurs and real professionals, show me something really meaty.

So what have we got, what are we looking at?

Before watches were being mass-produced,

time was told using a sundial.

My gosh.

And these were made really from 1600 up to around 1670.

-So that's a portable sundial?

-Yeah.

-My gosh!

So you point it in the direction where the sun is,

that you pick up a shadow...

And it would give you time within what - half an hour, an hour?

-Probably ten, 15 minutes.

-As close as that? Really.

The problem is you had to rely on having nice weather.

Yeah!

Value there, Johnny?

About 2,000, something like that.

-It doesn't sound a fortune.

-No, not a fortune. It's not, no.

This is more me, I think,

that's a very, very stylish thing.

-Date-wise...?

-Around 1660.

1660. So this is not long after the English Civil War.

So worth what?

-About £14,000.

-14,000, yeah.

-I mean, that's serious collecting territory.

-Oh, absolutely, yeah.

This is 1680. Tortoiseshell,

With mother-of-pearl and silver inlay case.

Now, the condition of this is absolutely amazing.

-In working order?

-In absolute working order.

-This is really, really a one-off.

-That is astonishing.

Top end price...?

-Erm... About £40,000.

-Yeah.

-OK, now this one...

-This is the parasol watch.

-Top of a parasol handle...

-Yeah.

-Date-wise...?

-1890 to 1910.

-You turn the top...

-Looks like a kaleidoscope. That's gold, I assume?

That's 18-carat gold. I've never seen another one of that.

Asking 10,000, I'd be happy to get 9,000 for it.

These things were made to last for generations,

and here they are, proving that. Thank you very much indeed.

So, brimming with horological history,

has David found out enough to up his sales patter?

Time will tell.

Across town, Phil is also out on a fact-finding mission,

and wants to put the pedal to the metal with his earning potential.

He's roared to motor enthusiasts' hangout, Ace Cafe in London,

with his final item, the racing set.

He's meeting Scalextric enthusiast Roger, to give him a grilling.

Roger, how are you? Good to see you.

Brings back so many memories to me, it really does. I just love these older cars here.

-They're lovely genuine old 1960s Vanwalls.

-Fantastic.

When did these race sets first come out?

They first appeared at the Harrogate Toy Fair in 1958.

The original idea was a guy called Fred Francis,

who owned a company called Mini Models.

Fred had this idea of motorising his tinplate cars,

and putting them on a circuit

so people could actually race them.

1958 was also an important year for racing.

Stirling Moss won four Grand Prix, and became a national hero.

Suddenly, little boys like Phil wanted to become race drivers.

So, Scalextric became an overnight hit.

The original kit cost £5, 17 shillings and sixpence,

the equivalent of £126 in today's money.

How many cars have you got?

Er... In excess of 1,000.

From very early tinplate, the early stuff,

right the way through to something that's been made this year.

Which cars are the most valuable things you could buy?

A Type 59 Bugatti. Absolutely the Holy Grail for any collector.

You can spend £4,000 to £5,000 on each car.

-5,000?

-Yeah.

-Got something that might just interest you over here.

-OK...

Now...

Wow.

-Is that a good "wow"?

-No.

-What do you mean, "no"?!

It's a starter set for youngsters.

Youngsters.

These are what they call a generic car.

Which looks a little bit like a GT car.

It's done, I would imagine so there are no licensing fees involved,

so they can keep the cost down to get an entry-level racer.

How old is this for a start, then?

2012, 2013 - without double-checking,

but it's around that area.

You'll get £20, £25 for that, no problem.

In terms of collectability... this hasn't got much at the minute.

Not at this time, no.

To the true collector, it has to have never seen a track,

maybe been out of the box but never been used.

So help - what do I do?

If you can find somebody that's, er...

somebody with young children,

who might want to get their children an interest in a hands-on hobby -

-try and place it with somebody like that.

-OK.

You've been a star, mate. Thank you.

Happy in the knowledge his set is worth more than the £8 he paid for it,

Phil can devote a little time to perfecting his lap of honour.

Meanwhile, David is ready to convert HIS research into cash.

Armed to the Roman numerals with fascinating facts about his watch,

he's brought his £30 timepiece to fashionable Savile Row -

but will tailor William Hunt think his pocket watch is the next best thing?

-Now, you've got to be William Hunt.

-I am.

-William, very nice to meet you.

-Very good to meet you.

I see you're just dressing up a suit here.

-Nice to see the chain.

-Yeah.

-What's all this about?

It started out as a piece of jewellery, we brought the chains in

-first, and the guys wanted the watches to go with it.

-Right.

So we brought them in, and it adorns the suit beautifully.

Is this a bit of a modern phenomenon then, William,

the pocket watch is becoming quite fashionable now?

-20 years ago, the dads and grandads probably would have worn them.

-Yeah.

-So therefore you probably wouldn't.

-Exactly.

-But that sort of period's gone...

-Yeah.

-..and it's become very fashionable.

-And it's quite a cool thing, actually, isn't it, to just...

-I think it IS a cool thing.

The fashion of this sort of sparked off an interest in these things,

and as I say, these are sort of jewellery pieces, and I'd like something a bit more...

Something with a bit more pedigree?

-Well, yeah.

-As opposed to a brand-new one.

-Something that's been around a bit.

OK. I can give you something with pedigree. Does it matter if it works?

Would be nice.

Right! That's a bit of a problem, then.

-Isn't it lovely?

-Oh, it's got some weight.

It's solid silver, made in 1918

at the end of the period where pocket watches

were made in big numbers.

This is where the wristwatch starts to become more popular.

-How did that happen?

-Well, I shall show you.

Look, if I can use your mannequin as an example. There's your chain...

Let me fit my watch...

..so there we have it... in his pocket.

As we know, he tells the time - if he drops his watch,

it's safely attached to his chain.

But now, transport yourself to the First World War, and the trenches.

You catch your chain -

you lose you watch.

-Ah. Well - and possibly more, if you get snagged up.

-Well, exactly.

So the Army officers came up with this idea.

They took their pocket watches off the chain,

they gave the watches to the blacksmiths,

and they got them to weld on lugs to the side of the pocket watch...

And then straps.

And straps, and then strap it to their wrist, nice and tight and safe...

-And that's where the wristwatch came from.

-That's where it came from.

And suddenly it started to become fashionable.

There ended the big fashion for the pocket watch.

And here it comes again!

Well, as you know, everything in fashion goes in cycles.

-But this watch is fascinating.

-It's a cool watch.

-1918...

It's a connection to the past, and if that could tell a story,

by gosh, could it tell one.

The war ended in '18, it was made in '18 - it could have been there.

So what are we talking?

80 quid?

I've got to haggle.

-I think 50's about right.

-I'll do 70.

-Let's do what gentlemen do and meet in the middle.

-60 quid, it's a pleasure.

David's doubled his money, making £30 profit, and he's delighted.

Doesn't get much better than that.

Back in Malvern, Phil is hoping to get into

pole position with his final sale, the racing set.

He found out it wasn't a collector's item

and would be best sold as a starter kit,

so he's taking it to show dealer friend Lee

and his nine-year-old son AJ.

So you're not a train man, you're a car man.

-Car man.

-That's the good stuff.

Now, I bought this at a car boot,

and I'll you what it cost me, it was £8,

and I've paid a pound and I've had it PAT tested.

-There are the cars. What do you think of those?

-Cool.

Wow. They look good, don't they? Very sporty.

Go on, then. You're the man.

So far, so good.

AJ might think it looks cool,

but as everyone knows when buying

your first car, you really ought to take it out for a test drive.

Does he let you win?

-Erm, not always.

-Not always?!

-LEE LAUGHS

-What do you reckon, AJ?

-Good.

-Do you like it?

-Yeah.

-We'll have some fun with this, won't we?

-Yep.

As long as he lets his dad win on the odd occasion.

And it will get him away from his video game...

What do you think it's worth?

It's probably worth...as much as AJ's got in his pocket.

Or in his piggy bank. What do you reckon?

-Oh, he's got to pay for it?

-Oh, absolutely.

If I ask you £19, is that going to be fair?

-I think that's fair. Don't you?

-Yeah.

I'm going to shake your hand, AJ. You're a gentleman.

-And, Lee, thank you very much. Cos I've got a sneaky feeling you might be paying for this.

-I am.

Well, at least Phil kept on track.

He's £10 up, and is first past the chequered flag.

But, has he hung on to his lead in terms of profit?

Now - with just his two quid Elvis onesie left to sell,

it's up to David to get this competition all shook up.

He's back in London searching for the perfect buyer -

and my goodness me, this chap looks familiar.

-Now, you've got to be Jim.

-David, hi.

Now, how did I pick you out of a busy cafe like this?

It's the shirt, isn't it? Yeah.

But there is a remarkable resemblance.

So how long have you been an Elvis impersonator?

Discovered Elvis when I was a little kid, first music I ever heard,

and when I came out of school, didn't know what to do with myself,

-I just thought, "Why not do Elvis?"

-Right.

So, I'm still doing it now, 13 years later.

What kind of value would an original jumpsuit have?

-Anywhere between £50, maybe even up to £150,000.

-Really?

-So you know your stuff, then, when it comes to jumpsuits.

-I do, I do.

-I want a competition here. Your jumpsuit, versus my jumpsuit.

-Cool.

And it's time to say goodbye to Jim, because tonight, viewers,

he's going to be Elvis.

-AS ELVIS:

-Hello, there. Sir, you wanted to speak to me?

Wow. That is one cracking jumpsuit, I've got to say.

-Thank you very much. Thank you.

-Please sit down, please sit down.

Is it worth a lot of money?

Yeah, I'd say it's about...3,500.

-Really?

-Yeah.

OK - close your eyes. I'm going to roll the baby out.

Feast your eyes...on that!

-Wow.

-Wow.

You know, I wear this on stage,

but I don't have anything to wear in bed.

So, a bed suit. Now you're talking.

I like it for what it is. I can see it,

-I can see the vision.

-OK.

Are you happy to give me £4 to take this baby away?

-Yeah. Let's do that.

-Done deal.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Well, David avoided heartbreak hotel,

making a final profit of £2.

AS ELVIS: That's all right.

Well, that is it, I am all sold up -

and what a way to end, my final object sold...to the King, baby!

You old hound dog.

Remember, Phil was in the lead at the halfway point,

but has David overtaken?

Before we reveal the winner,

let's have a quick reminder of how much they spent at the car boot.

From their £250 budget,

David bought five items, costing £137.

Phil made seven purchases and spent a total of £115,

including PAT testing - but who has made the most profit?

All the money that David and Phil have made

will go to charities of their choice

so, without further ado, let's find out who is today's

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

-David, how are you?

-This reminds me of the car boot.

-Well, it's not quite as misty.

-Well, it's wet, isn't it?

-Tell me - that Elvis thingy...

-Oh, the onesie.

You loved that, didn't you? Tell the truth.

No. It was absolutely dreadful.

-I got two quid profit. But I sold it to the King!

-Really?

-I thought he was dead.

-He's alive and kicking.

-Uh-huh.

-Yeah, huh!

And what about that music thingamajig job?

I sold it to a music producer, a friend of mine.

-Big profits?

-Good profit.

Let's get back to you. We're car men...

I love me car set, but I think I've turned.
