0:00:42 > 0:00:47Today's all-action extravaganza sets the duke of dealing, Jonty Hearnden,
0:00:47 > 0:00:50against the squire of the saleroom, James Braxton,
0:00:50 > 0:00:53at an auction in Dorset.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54Coming up,
0:00:54 > 0:00:56James blows a wad of cash.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59460.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02480. Lady's back in. 480.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06Jonty uses his nous to date a road map.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07There's no M25.
0:01:07 > 0:01:11- No, no.- And if you look further west, there's no M4.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14And James commits a crime of fashion.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17I'm going to take it off before I get arrested.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Listen up and gather round,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39prepare yourselves for a sizzling saleroom challenge.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43We have two awesome antiques experts limbering up
0:01:43 > 0:01:45ahead of a day of high drama.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49They'll be bidding for the best to ensure they make prime purchases
0:01:49 > 0:01:51that will go on to make whopping profits.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Let's meet them.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57First up, a man who spots potential in the most unlikely places.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59His laser-like vision and expert knowledge
0:01:59 > 0:02:01make him the selling superhero.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04From Oxfordshire, it's the commanding officer
0:02:04 > 0:02:05of all things antique...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10It's going to be tough buying, that's for sure.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Facing up to him, the Dark Knight of the deal.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17He might seem like a rather charming fellow, but he's an antiques ninja,
0:02:17 > 0:02:19always poised to show off his vicious skills.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22From East Sussex, pumped up and ready to pounce, it's...
0:02:26 > 0:02:28I'm looking forward to the challenge
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and I'm sort of... Really want to try and beat him.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Well, that is the aim of the game.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Our battling boys are squaring up at Cottees Auctions
0:02:38 > 0:02:39in Wareham in Dorset.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43They each come armed with expertise, skill and wit,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45along with £1,000 of their own money to spend
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and that must include the cost of the saleroom's fees.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50Once they've sold their lots on,
0:02:50 > 0:02:53any profit they make will go directly to their chosen charities.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So, let's get down to business.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Jonty Hearnden and James Braxton,
0:02:59 > 0:03:03the time has come to put your money where your mouth is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- James, how are you? - Very well. Good to see you, Jonty.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07You're looking suitably dapper.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You're looking very a la mode, if I might say.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11I'm kind of like dressed for the occasion
0:03:11 > 0:03:13cos there's a bit of outdoors, a bit of indoors going on today
0:03:13 > 0:03:15because not only have we got one auction,
0:03:15 > 0:03:18we've got two other auctions going on at the same time here.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- Oh, what, all concurrently?- Yes.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- It's going to be a lot of mayhem going on today.- Fabulous.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- I like running between sheds. - So, we've got £1,000 to spend.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28- £1,000.- Have you got any idea what you want to buy today?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Obviously, bargains. And you?
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Silly question really cos... JAMES LAUGHS
0:03:32 > 0:03:35That's what I'm going to be looking for. Bit of a challenge.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- It will be.- Enjoy your day. - Same to you.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42So, they're off, and they're going to need plenty of stamina
0:03:42 > 0:03:44because it will be a long day.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Three auctions running simultaneously in three locations,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51so there could be some legwork required running between them.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52And, before the sales get under way,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56they've already got their work cut out trying to view everything.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58It all just adds to the tension.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02There's an awful lot of stuff here that I think, I sense,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05there's going to be an awful lot of competition, including James himself.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09So, what do I buy? It's decisions, decisions.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Let's see where we go.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12We're quite similar beasts really.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17If I can steer him away from the furnishings, I might have him.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Yes, good plan, Bingo.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21Don't draw any attention to the furniture.
0:04:21 > 0:04:22Don't go near it.
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Now, this has Mr Hearnden written all over it, doesn't it?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Hm, you're asking for trouble. He'll see you.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Oh, look, here he is...salivating.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36We've got a three-seater sofa and two matching armchairs.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38So, this suite would've been made in the 1930s.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40It's never been recovered.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Art Deco suite. Very desirable,
0:04:43 > 0:04:45but it needs a fortune spending on it.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47There's stuffing coming out the arms,
0:04:47 > 0:04:48there's legs missing on the back,
0:04:48 > 0:04:51but the frame is quite extraordinary.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Well, he's definitely interested, which means James' plan,
0:04:55 > 0:04:58much like the sofa, is already in tatters.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Oh, well, if you can't beat them, join them.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Here you are, lot 35.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Got a very nice velvet-covered armchair.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Tub-shaped armchair. Late 19th century.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12We've got this sort of swirlingness here before the Art Deco period
0:05:12 > 0:05:14of the early 20th century.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Hm, might be a good idea to get out of Jonty's comfort zone, James,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and find something that has Bingo written all over it.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23What about a buffalo?
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Now, in the whole saleroom, this is the best item.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Here we are.
0:05:29 > 0:05:35We've got this fabulous Chinese figure made of hardwood.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38The detail is just phenomenal.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41You can see the swirls of its hair.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45I think this is definitely not a reproduction.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48This has a good late-19th-century feel about it.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52And the animal kingdom becomes a bit of a theme with old Bingo.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Next, he's eyeing up a couple of figures.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Nice little model of a donkey.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Donkeys are rather sweet characters.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02They have really sort of rather sorrowful eyes.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04And then, we've got a lovely Scottie dog,
0:06:04 > 0:06:07this time Royal Copenhagen.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11So, Danish. And you just always check the extremities.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13You check them for chips.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Sometimes the eyes can lie, so always use your hands
0:06:16 > 0:06:17and you can feel them.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Two quite nice items. 286.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Gives no estimate, but a Beswick figure like that must be...
0:06:24 > 0:06:28..£30, and the fellow 20-25.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32So, anything under about £40 will be good news, really.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36Yes. Quietly confident James marks out the catalogue,
0:06:36 > 0:06:38hoping for something to bray about later.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Jonty has been scouring the main room
0:06:40 > 0:06:44and he's found something large and shiny.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Now, you don't necessarily need to be an antiques expert
0:06:46 > 0:06:48to know what this is.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50It's a wedding cake stand.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54So, you've got this mirrored top and you've got this shaped exterior.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56And I suppose it has a feeling of being Edwardian.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Just going to see where it goes because if it's cheap enough,
0:06:59 > 0:07:00it could be mine
0:07:00 > 0:07:03and selling it could be a piece of cake.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05There are hundreds of lots to choose from,
0:07:05 > 0:07:08and our experts mustn't forget the auction will be split
0:07:08 > 0:07:09over three areas.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13James heads outside for a look and soon spots a wine rack.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16What have we got? We've got ten across
0:07:16 > 0:07:18and more than ten down,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21so it's probably about almost ten cases' worth of wine
0:07:21 > 0:07:23just disappears here.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24It's quite a nice item.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I might have to rush out for that.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yes, don't forget about it, mind.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Back inside, Jonty has navigated his way around the room
0:07:32 > 0:07:34to an intriguing item.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Now, this is a really very early sat nav.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Have a look at this.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43This is just absolutely wonderful. This is the Auto-Mapic.
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Probably made in the 1950s,
0:07:44 > 0:07:48so it's actually got a very early sort of plastic exterior to it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:53But it's got 15 maps in one. Just extraordinary.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57So, here we've got the numbers. If you were to press one,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00you then end up, I hope...
0:08:00 > 0:08:01There we go.
0:08:01 > 0:08:02We've got Cornwall.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04I just think this is really collectable.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Very desirable. Just something really quirky, something different.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Well, that's it, chaps. No more viewing time.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12The bidding is about to begin,
0:08:12 > 0:08:15and it's Jonty who's standing to attention first.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18So, coming up is the Art Deco suite.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20In the catalogue, it's estimated between £20 and £40.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23If I can get it for that, I will retire straightaway.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Yes, you should be so lucky.
0:08:25 > 0:08:30He bids, but the price goes straight up to £360.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31He's still interested, though.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33360 now.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37380. 380 bid. 380. 400.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- 400.- He soon reaches his limit. Poor old Hitman.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43But James isn't gloating.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I can take small pleasure in Jonty not getting that item,
0:08:46 > 0:08:48but it bodes rather badly for me.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Yes. If there's some heavy bidders in the room,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53it could be expensive to get the good stuff.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And so, it proves for the 19th-century tub chair
0:08:55 > 0:08:56that James wanted.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00He starts off at £55, but it's soon out of his league.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It is bid at 130.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05And selling...
0:09:05 > 0:09:06GAVEL BANGS
0:09:06 > 0:09:08It's not going well, is it?
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Dear, oh, dear.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12No, James, it's not.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14This is rather worrying, isn't it?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17While Jonty holds his ground, James decides to nip outdoors
0:09:17 > 0:09:20to make sure he doesn't miss the giant wine rack,
0:09:20 > 0:09:22but he's worried about these prices.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25(You know, I don't want to buy it too expensively.)
0:09:25 > 0:09:27What is it worth? 30 or 40 quid.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29And here we go. Lot 702, then,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31next on the list, which is the large wine rack.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33£10 there. We've got 10.
0:09:33 > 0:09:3612. £12 there now. 15. 15. 18.
0:09:36 > 0:09:3718 behind you.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40£18. 20.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42James is soon competing against just one other person,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44and our boy bids £40.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47£40 is the bid.
0:09:47 > 0:09:5045. 45 there. 50.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52He's not going to risk losing it.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55£50. 55. £55.
0:09:55 > 0:09:5655. 60.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59£60 now from the bid. All done at 60?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- HE BANGS PEN DOWN - Yes, he got it,
0:10:02 > 0:10:04but paid twice what he wanted.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05I had to buy something,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and I certainly bought something expensive, but there we are.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10We're in...we're in the market now.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15Yes, and that usually starts momentum.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Let's not forget the auction room fees for the wine rack.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20James pays a total of £70.80.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24So, his campaign has taken off
0:10:24 > 0:10:27and next he bids on a recent Poole Pottery plate commemorating
0:10:27 > 0:10:29a display by the Red Arrows.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33£60 bid. 65 I've got.
0:10:33 > 0:10:3570 quickly, if you want it.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37No, he doesn't. Put it down.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- GAVEL BANGS - Red Arrows,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41everyone loves the Red Arrows, don't they?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46He lands the lot for £76.70 including fees.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49It's a lovely design.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52It's great fun, and it's nice and sound.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Lovely lettering of this lovely eggshell glaze.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Now, Jonty is not having much luck.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00He's been bidding on lots of things,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03but the prices keep going way too high.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Dear old Jonty's gone rather pale today, in spite of the sunshine.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09(I think he's in trouble.)
0:11:09 > 0:11:11He's yet to buy an item.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I feel a bit like a swan,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16sort of gracious on the top,
0:11:16 > 0:11:19but, all of a sudden, I feel my feet are paddling somewhat.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yes, actually, Jonty, you haven't even got a toe in the water.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26But it's a different story at the back of the room.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30James is firing on all cylinders and soon buys a pair of door pushes.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33At £30 over there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:34GAVEL BANGS
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Adding the fees, he pays £35.40.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Got this nice pair of bell pushes.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47They've got a ceramic boss here, which is a sort of pottery boss.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53Sort of gives me the idea that they might be 1890, 1900.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55They're in that sort of region.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57It's got a very close grain here.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I would say they're mahogany surrounds.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01So, when they're tidied up a bit,
0:12:01 > 0:12:06these two might look a lot better than they do now.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08While Jonty continues to flounder in the shallows,
0:12:08 > 0:12:11it's not long before Bingo dives in again.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15The 19th-century buffalo group and stand is up and this he loves.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- I'm bid £70.- Bidding kicks off at 70 and Bingo's straight in.
0:12:21 > 0:12:2585. 90. 95. 100.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27But it goes up.
0:12:27 > 0:12:28170. 180.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32190. 200. 220.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33And up.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36280 over there it is. 300.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39320. 340.
0:12:39 > 0:12:40And up,
0:12:40 > 0:12:42but James sticks with it throughout.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45At 460.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48480. Lady's back in. 480.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50500. 500.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52It's 500 right at the back.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54GAVEL BANGS
0:12:54 > 0:12:55HE SIGHS
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Wow, he spent almost all of his cash on one item.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Unbelievable.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03I haven't bought a thing yet. Help!
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yes, James wasn't letting that beastie get away.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11Including fees, he pays a whopping £590,
0:13:11 > 0:13:13far and away his biggest purchase yet,
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and the tension is getting to him.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- The old ticker's racing now. - HE LAUGHS
0:13:20 > 0:13:21His heart rate is up.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Maybe time to take a breather and catch up on the figures.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Both our experts arrived in Wareham
0:13:27 > 0:13:30with £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33James has made four purchases and spent masses,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35nearly £773,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38so has £227 left in his kitty.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Jonty's game couldn't be more different.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46He's bought absolutely nothing yet,
0:13:46 > 0:13:48so still has his entire budget
0:13:48 > 0:13:49left to spend.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55So, how are they feeling at the halfway stage?
0:13:55 > 0:13:58So, dear boy,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- you've spent almost all your money on one lot.- Yeah. I know.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01It's amazing, isn't it?
0:14:01 > 0:14:04You know what it's like, when you get on the auction
0:14:04 > 0:14:05you get on hook, don't you?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Yeah, yeah.- They keep reeling you in.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10You've bought everything, but I've bought nothing yet.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12- Not a sausage. - You'd better get going.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- I know.- You know, all the furniture's just gone, hasn't it?
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Yeah, it's all gone.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18OK. Go on, get in and get bidding, Jonty.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well, there's plenty of lovely lots left,
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and Jonty knows he has to buy something.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25He jumps straight in
0:14:25 > 0:14:28on a geographical directory of Scotland.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30The first lot I'm interested in buying
0:14:30 > 0:14:34is something called the Gazetteer Of Scotland.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39It's two volumes and it's dated 1848.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40It's really lovely.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43They've got maps inside, so it's all about the history of Scotland.
0:14:43 > 0:14:45You know, a good 150 years ago.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47there's no estimate in the catalogue.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Goes to the highest bidder.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- 10.- Here, sir.- 10. And 15.
0:14:52 > 0:14:5520. 25 in front.
0:14:55 > 0:14:5830. 35.
0:14:58 > 0:15:0040. 45 now on the net.
0:15:00 > 0:15:0450. 55. 60.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06And selling at 60...
0:15:07 > 0:15:09GAVEL BANGS That's a relief. Phew.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13I should coco! Jonty finally breaks his duck.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16The Scotland books cost £70.80 with fees.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21It's amazing what you find in auction rooms up and down the country
0:15:21 > 0:15:24because this is a collection of books based on Scotland
0:15:24 > 0:15:25and Scottish history.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27This smaller book here is restored,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30and you can tell it's restored just by looking on the outside here.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32It's been rebound.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Almost 200 years old this book.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37And we have another almanac.
0:15:37 > 0:15:42Two books, two volumes printed slightly later, 1848.
0:15:42 > 0:15:43So, who am I going to sell them to?
0:15:43 > 0:15:47Well, I need to find somebody who loves Scottish history.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49So, let's hope he's on a roll.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Next up, the wedding cake stand.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Can it be his to have and to hold?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56It's in the room at 65.
0:15:56 > 0:15:57- GAVEL BANGS - Yes, he gets it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00And, including fees, he pay £76.70,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02but he doesn't stop there.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05He outbids the rest of the room for a silver pincushion
0:16:05 > 0:16:06in the shape of a jockey's cap.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10Jonty pays £41.30 including commission.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Small is sometimes beautiful. That's... Have a look at that.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17It's about 110-120 years of age. It's silver.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It's a little bit dirty, but that doesn't necessarily matter.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23I may try and clean it a bit if I possibly can,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27but, on the inside, the red parts here, is spongy,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31so you actually apply the pins to this little, sponged area there.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Somebody's going to fall in love with that.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Hopefully, I can sell it to somebody who loves horses,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37possibly even a jockey.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39But I think that's just great fun.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Humour is really important.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Makes me smile.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Oh, good. It feels like he needs something happy to happen
0:16:46 > 0:16:49and it means he's suddenly catching up with James,
0:16:49 > 0:16:51three purchases to Bingo's four.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54Mr Braxton could extend his lead again, though.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57His Beswick donkey and Copenhagen Scottie dog are about to come up.
0:16:59 > 0:17:0425. 30. 35. 40. 45 at the back.
0:17:04 > 0:17:0650, anybody else?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Selling at 45.
0:17:09 > 0:17:10What, an old donkey?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Hm, has he paid over the odds?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16The lot cost £53.10 including fees,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19and James thinks he's backed a winner.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21Pleased with that.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26So, Jonty's still behind in the buying stakes.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27He's determined to up his game
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and decides to have a go on an Art Deco vase.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32He makes a single bid.
0:17:32 > 0:17:3585. 85 first bidder.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37GAVEL BANGS
0:17:38 > 0:17:39So, that's his fourth purchase.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43He pays £100.30 including fees.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49Bit of Art Deco here. This is my 1930s flower vase.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51I've got a stem support, which is loose inside there,
0:17:51 > 0:17:53so I need to take care of that.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56If you look round the outside, you can see how very simply
0:17:56 > 0:17:57this has been decorated.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01It has all the hallmarks of looking like Clarice Cliff,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04very simple style of decoration,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07lots of very simple brushstrokes there, but it's not.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11The quality's not quite there. It's made by a factory called Myott,
0:18:11 > 0:18:12which is collectable.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I'm hopefully going to sell that to either a dealer who sells similar
0:18:16 > 0:18:18kind of ceramic wares
0:18:18 > 0:18:21or, of course, anybody who collects Art Deco.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Jonty's soon back on his feet and it's for one of the items
0:18:24 > 0:18:26he viewed at the start of the day.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Oh, here's my map. Here's my map. Here's my map!- 20 bid now.
0:18:31 > 0:18:3420. 25 I've got. 30.
0:18:34 > 0:18:3635 right at the back.
0:18:36 > 0:18:37There's a lot of interest in the room
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and the map shoots past its estimate of £100.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45150. 160.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47170 anywhere?
0:18:47 > 0:18:48In the room at 160.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50- GAVEL BANGS - 160.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53So, Jonty holds his nerve and, including commission,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56pays £188.80 for his sliding map,
0:18:56 > 0:19:00far and away his biggest purchase of the day so far.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Absolute fortune I've paid for it. Absolute fortune,
0:19:04 > 0:19:05but I love it to bits.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07Well, that should make it easier to sell, then.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11He's now back in the game, level with James at five items each.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Bingo has been quite quiet recently, clearly biding his time,
0:19:15 > 0:19:17but Jonty is now on a roll.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21He suddenly buys two brass Meiji period Japanese boxes,
0:19:21 > 0:19:22and they're not cheap, no.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26£260, selling...
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- GAVEL BANGS - 260.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Add in the fees and the boxes cost even more, £306.80.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36A lot of money. So, why did he decide to suddenly go for them?
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Mid 19th century. Really very good quality indeed.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43I just love the detailing on it.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Look at this first one here, for instance.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50There is applied decoration to the top and to all sides as well.
0:19:50 > 0:19:51Nothing on the interior at all.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It's really quite plain on the interior,
0:19:53 > 0:19:55which is quite interesting really.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Just as the same as this box here. Look at the detailing on the outside.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02This one is really exquisite.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04So, have I paid too much money for them?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07This is an area that I don't necessarily
0:20:07 > 0:20:09spend too much time dealing in,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11so it's going to be really fascinating.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Now, there's a challenge.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Ooh, we like a challenge.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Jonty Hearnden always pushing the limits.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Now, there's a more immediate difficulty.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23We're getting into the last load of lots and the room has thinned out.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Does that mean all the good stuff's gone,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29or is it the perfect opportunity to pick up the best bargains?
0:20:29 > 0:20:32James tries his luck on a Victorian tapestry panel
0:20:32 > 0:20:34that comes, oddly, with a silk kimono.
0:20:36 > 0:20:3810 then. Thank you. £10 bid.
0:20:38 > 0:20:4015 anywhere?
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- GAVEL BANGS - Thank you.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Hmm, no-one else bids. Could be ominous.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Anyway, including fees, he pays £11.80.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Time for a proper look.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52I've come outside and it's such a lovely day.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53It was getting stuffy in there.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57But I wish I hadn't now because I suddenly see in the daylight,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59you know, these big cracks here.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03It's where the material has deteriorated due to sunlight.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05This is an old pole screen.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08It's got sort of rather nice Regency motifs here,
0:21:08 > 0:21:10but a very Victorian tapestry scene.
0:21:10 > 0:21:16A cornucopia here, a bird. It's all a bit sentimental in a way.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20£10 and I got a nice, heavy piece of silk thrown in as well.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23A silk kimono big enough even to fit me.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Bingo Braxton in a kimono, now there's an image.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29But no time to give us a twirl, no, no,
0:21:29 > 0:21:30he's straight back to the bidding.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32He's been waiting for two
0:21:32 > 0:21:3419th-century wooden boxes to come up.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37£85. In the room it is.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Very cheap, isn't it? Two work boxes, 85 quid.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44- BANGS GAVEL - 85.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48With fees, he pays £100.30 and it's his last purchase of the day.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50He's all sewn up.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I've got two work boxes here.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55This is the earlier.
0:21:55 > 0:22:01Probably about 1820, 1830 by the sarcophagus shape here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Nice hardwood fellow.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04The weaker of the two.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06This is the better, the inlaid fellow.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09Nice marquetry, contra-marquetry,
0:22:09 > 0:22:10hardwood and a lighter wood,
0:22:10 > 0:22:15maybe a maple, mid 19th century, about 1850.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18So, there we have it. Their trip to Dorset has borne fruit.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20But what's the damage?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Both our experts started the day with £1,000 of their own money.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Jonty had one of the slowest starts in Put Your Money history,
0:22:28 > 0:22:29but he pulled it back
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and spent £784.70 on six items.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37James, however, found things much easier.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38He leaves with seven lots
0:22:38 > 0:22:42having spent a massive £938.10.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46So, what do they make of each other's hauls?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51That's a big fellow, isn't it? I didn't see you buy that.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53It's seen few wild parties, hasn't it?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55It has seen some wild parties, hasn't it?
0:22:55 > 0:22:56It's very good.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- I saw you buy this...- Yeah. - ..and the whole room went silent.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01HE LAUGHS
0:23:01 > 0:23:02And you were perspiring.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06That was a lot of money, but the quality is outstanding, isn't it?
0:23:06 > 0:23:08It is. So, it took me all the way to 500.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13I must say, no need to go to the gym, my heart was racing.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17I think my fun item today has to be this road map.
0:23:17 > 0:23:18I think it's just great.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22You've got not only one road map, but you've got 15 in there as well.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25- Oh, I see! So, it's back and front? - Yes, yes.- Isn't that clever?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Yeah. Well, I think we've done pretty well actually,
0:23:28 > 0:23:30- but who'd have thought we would end up with this?- I know.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I didn't intend to buy any of this. Did you?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Absolutely not. I bought it because...
0:23:35 > 0:23:38You bought it because you were a desperate man at one point.
0:23:38 > 0:23:39THEY LAUGH
0:23:39 > 0:23:41So, all we've got to do now is sell it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Yeah. Easy peasy.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- Good luck to you, mate. - Good luck to you.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53So, it's time our buoyant buyers became super sellers.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56They need to seek out prime purchasers with deep purses
0:23:56 > 0:23:59and bottomless wallets as they bid to outdo each other
0:23:59 > 0:24:01in the search for stellar profits.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05They must conduct research, hit the phones, use their contacts
0:24:05 > 0:24:06and scour the country
0:24:06 > 0:24:09to match all their items with potential customers.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Any profits they make will go to charities of their choice,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15so they must really work for their money.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Time, then, to look over their wondrous wares.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20And back at Hitman headquarters in Oxfordshire,
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Jonty is under pressure.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Now, I've got a confession to make.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28That auction sale was just so tough.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I think everything I bought was just a bit too expensive.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34The vase I was hoping to pay for less.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38Great object, very saleable, but will I make a profit?
0:24:38 > 0:24:40And the road map here, just in front of me,
0:24:40 > 0:24:44I wanted to pay half the amount of money that I did pay for it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45I love my little pincushion.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48That's a great object. Somebody will buy that.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Now, my Japanese boxes, fantastic quality.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Really top draw.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54The question is,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56who on earth is going to return a profit for me
0:24:56 > 0:24:58on those lovely things?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00And my books...likewise.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Really interesting objects.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06But I'm not really into antiquarian book-selling,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09so that's going to be a real tough challenge for me.
0:25:09 > 0:25:10My cake stand, what fun.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13And also, I realised after the auction
0:25:13 > 0:25:16that this lovely box was part of it too,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19so not only have I got my cake stand and my knife,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22but it comes in this lovely sort of travelling box.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24So, I've got some great objects.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27The question is, who on earth am I going to sell them to?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Oh, dear, he's worried. Better get his skates on.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Over at James's joint in East Sussex,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35Bingo's piled it all up in his garden,
0:25:35 > 0:25:37and he's feeling all positive.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41This little lot cost me a lot of money.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43That's my big fellow over there.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47Over £500 for the buffalo and the figures.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51But I think that's going to give me my big profit.
0:25:51 > 0:25:57The wine rack, the most expensive at auction this year at about £70.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I think I'm going to have to go to London to sell that.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03And then we've got the bell pushes. They were a nice, cheap lot.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05We've got two lovely boxes there.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08We've got this sewing box and the other box there.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Nice bit of parquetry. About £50 each.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Two little fellows here. We've got a lovely Beswick donkey
0:26:15 > 0:26:17and Royal Copenhagen. This is porcelain,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19the nice Scottie dog.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Slightly cheaper, the pole screen, the tapestry fellow,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24and the Red Arrows plate,
0:26:24 > 0:26:27that was over £70, made by Poole Pottery.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29I'm going to have to work hard on that
0:26:29 > 0:26:31and all the rest of these items.
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Oh, come on, chaps, positive mental attitude.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39If anyone can find buyers, it's these two titans of the trade,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41but, remember, until they've shaken on it
0:26:41 > 0:26:44and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48The Hitman is first to arrange an appointment.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51His contact, James, runs an antique centre in Tetsworth
0:26:51 > 0:26:54and he knows a lady who's visiting from China,
0:26:54 > 0:26:57looking for items to put in her private museum over there.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59James thinks she'll like the Japanese boxes
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and, helpfully, has offered to translate.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, do you think she'll fall in love with my boxes?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Well, we will see because she's an expert.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Ah.- OK? She was a very tough lady to a bargain.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- Shall we go and meet her? Come on. - No problem.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16A tough lady to bargain with? Uh-oh.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19The boxes are Jonty's most expensive purchase as well,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- owing him just over £300. - Nice to meet you.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24So, here are my beautiful boxes.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29Date-wise, they are about 120 years old,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33and all of this has been applied to the box.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35But this is the really good quality one.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37What she said is it's a very fine quality.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40It is. Yes, I'm glad that you approve.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44Her idea is try keep it this one in the private museum.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45Ah. Into a museum, OK.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48It's such a beautiful piece from Oriental style, you know.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52This one is £450.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54This box is free.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58SHE SPEAKS CHINESE
0:27:59 > 0:28:01- OK. What she said...- Yes.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04..she offers you the first price of 280.
0:28:04 > 0:28:05Oh!
0:28:05 > 0:28:07425. I will come down.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10SHE CONFERS IN CHINESE
0:28:13 > 0:28:16She's going up to 300.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19300... Ooh, no. You have to go up much more.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20360.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22- 360?- That's a very good figure.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25I say 380 and we shake hands.
0:28:27 > 0:28:28OK.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29OK? HE SPEAKS CHINESE
0:28:29 > 0:28:30- I understand that.- Great.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32- Thank you very much. - You don't need me anymore.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- We do the deal, now you don't need me.- Thank you very much.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37Well, that's not a bad start at all.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41The boxes close a profit of £73.20.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44And who'd have predicted they'd end up in a museum in China?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Hm! From the Far East to the far southwest of England,
0:28:48 > 0:28:50James is near Lands' End
0:28:50 > 0:28:52and he's starting off with the wine rack
0:28:52 > 0:28:53that he thinks he paid too much for,
0:28:53 > 0:28:55so this could take some bottle.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Where do I sell a wine rack?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00A private bar with a lovely cellar.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02A wine merchant keeps everything in cases,
0:29:02 > 0:29:04but who keeps everything in racks?
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Well, publicans, of course.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10And I've come to see Anita at Logan Rock Inn.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Blimey, O'Reilly, they don't get any lighter, do they? Hello, Anita.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- Good. Hello, James. Goodness me! - Good to see you.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- It's got 12 going up and 10 going across.- Right.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21120 bottles in all.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23It should do a week.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25It should do... Oh, you're busy here, aren't you?
0:29:25 > 0:29:26SHE LAUGHS
0:29:26 > 0:29:32Price-wise, we've got 120. It will take 120 bottles.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34How about £1 a bottle?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36That sounds pretty good to me actually, James.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37- Does it?- It does indeed, yes.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- Oh. Do you want it? - Shall we shake on it?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Thank you, Anita. That's really kind.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Well, that proved to be very straightforward.
0:29:44 > 0:29:45He found the perfect buyer.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49James racks up a profit of £49.20.
0:29:49 > 0:29:54Now, Jonty has moved onto his Art Deco vase that cost him £100.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56He wants to try and sell it to Lorraine,
0:29:56 > 0:29:58who owns an Art Deco-themed tea room in Henley.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00And the Hitman has come dressed accordingly.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03It's enough to put you off your muffins. Oof.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08- What do you think?- I think that looks amazing.- Yeah?
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Now, Lorraine, this is the vase I wanted to show you.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14I thought this would be perfect for your restaurant
0:30:14 > 0:30:18because it's absolutely of the period.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21Oh, it is. It's definitely Art Deco.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23So, you can see how simply it's decorated,
0:30:23 > 0:30:26which is the fashion of the time.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29So, this is a vase made by Myott, which is a company based...
0:30:29 > 0:30:32- They were based in Stoke on Trent. - It's a good name.- Absolutely!
0:30:32 > 0:30:37What I find so interesting is if you think about the Edwardian period,
0:30:37 > 0:30:42which was what, turn-of-the-century? This was made in the 1930s.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45And if you think of the leap from that sort of heavy Victorian,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- highly decorated forms... - Gild and everything.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Yes, to something very, very simple, very angular...
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah, I think that's lovely.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Do you like it?- Really lovely. - I'm only asking £175 for this vase.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- I'd think around the 100 mark. - Oh, dear.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06I can do 160.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10What about 150?
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- 150?- Mm-hm.- Go on, then.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15- OK.- It's yours.- We'll do a deal.- I'm happy with that.- OK.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Thanks, Lorraine, that's great! Excellent!
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Now, what to think about my attire? Do you think it's really good?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23I think it really suits you. And I've got a job for you.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26If I, you know, can't sell any antiques anymore,
0:31:26 > 0:31:27I can work here for you?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I think you'd make more money here, actually.
0:31:29 > 0:31:30Hm, that sounds all right.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34Because he didn't do badly on the vase - £49.70 profit,
0:31:34 > 0:31:36but he does have some scrubbing to do.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39HE SIGHS
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Second thoughts, I think I'll stick to antiques.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Aw, not such a nice uniform, though.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47In Cornwall, James has moved on to Penzance.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50He sells his two wooden boxes to an antiques dealer.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54- 110 the two, then. - 110, you got yourself a deal.- Yeah?
0:31:54 > 0:31:56- Come on, Tricia.- OK, then.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00But that only brings in a profit of £9.70.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05So, let's hope he does better with his 19th-century buffalo
0:32:05 > 0:32:09and let's be honest if this does badly, he's done for.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13Still in Cornwall, James has one man in mind.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15I've come to see Chris, a respected dealer,
0:32:15 > 0:32:19who I know likes a bit of oriental art.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Well, let's hope he doesn't mind paying for it.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26The carving owes James £590.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Now, this... I took a bit of a punt on it. I like the fact...
0:32:30 > 0:32:32..the sort of anatomical detail.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36There's nothing sort of stylized or podgy about this water buffalo.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42- He's very haunchy.- I mean, the detail is fantastic, really.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46However, the figures on top are not so good.
0:32:46 > 0:32:51- The hands and feet are very naive. - They are naive, aren't they?
0:32:51 > 0:32:54More than one carver, do you think? I mean, it has to be, I think.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55- I can't see...- Do you think so?
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I can't see the person who carved all that hair
0:32:58 > 0:33:00carving those big, fat fingers.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02My guess is 1820 onwards.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03What I'm really looking for...
0:33:03 > 0:33:09I'm looking for to try and get around about sort of...
0:33:09 > 0:33:11800, 900 for this fellow.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15I was just looking at it as sort of a £500, £600 level.
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Would you touch left hands because I see you're rather damaged
0:33:19 > 0:33:21on your right at £800?
0:33:21 > 0:33:24No. I'm going to make a final offer.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Don't back yourself into a corner, Chris.- 700.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30- 700.- But that would be... That's an absolute final,
0:33:30 > 0:33:32- please-don't-come-back-with-an -alternative.- Really?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35This is why I didn't want you to back yourself into a corner.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38I will give you a final offer of 750.
0:33:38 > 0:33:40Oh, I don't like to go back on my word when I've said...
0:33:40 > 0:33:41You didn't go back on your word
0:33:41 > 0:33:43because I gave you the let-out clause.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45- Come on, Chris, put it there.- 750. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47- OK.- It's yours.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Bravo, Bingo! There were little hints of desperation there,
0:33:50 > 0:33:54but he held his nerve and his big investment paid off.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59James makes a very healthy profit of £160.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02So, let's see what that's done to the figures so far.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Jonty started his selling well.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11He's only sold twice, but has brought in a profit of £122.90.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15James, on the other hand, is flying high.
0:34:15 > 0:34:16Three lots down
0:34:16 > 0:34:21and he's sitting on a very comfortable profit of £218.90.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24So, Jonty needs to pull his finger out.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27He makes his way to Wallingford with his cheapest item,
0:34:27 > 0:34:30the silver pincushion in the shape of a jockey's cap.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34He drops in to see Yvonne in her sewing shop.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37- Hello there!- Yvonne, how are you doing?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- I'm very well.- Great to see you.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Now, I brought my little pincushion to show you.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Yes, you said you were coming along with something.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Would you like to have a look at that? That's silver
0:34:45 > 0:34:48and it's in the shape of a jockey's hat. Do you like it?
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- It is gorgeous.- Yes, it is great.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54During the late 19th century,
0:34:54 > 0:34:57there was a fashion to produce silver pincushions.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Often, they were in the shape of animals, for instance,
0:35:00 > 0:35:01and they're very collectible.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05Some can easily reach sort of top hundreds.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09And what you don't know is what the real draw about this is for me...
0:35:09 > 0:35:14Is that my grandfather used to ride horses in Ireland point to point.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17No! Well, I want £80 for it.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21- How about if we sort of... 70.- 70?
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- Yeah.- Go on, then.- Done.- Let's go for it.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28The pincushion makes a profit of £28.70.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30Not massive, but every little helps
0:35:30 > 0:35:33particularly as Bingo starts to have some issues.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35He hits turbulence with his Red Arrows plate.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39A man in Berkshire pays about half what James paid himself,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41so it lands with a bump,
0:35:41 > 0:35:44a loss of £38.70.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48And things don't get any better with the Beswick donkey
0:35:48 > 0:35:50and Copenhagen dog.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52A lady in Oxfordshire gives him £50,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54which chalks up another loss,
0:35:54 > 0:35:58although this time it's only £3.10.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01So, this is Jonty's chance to pull it back.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03He's brought his map to a classic car showroom in Kensington
0:36:03 > 0:36:06in London to meet the owner Graeme.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10It's in its original box, so I'm going to unravel it to him
0:36:10 > 0:36:12to see whether this is the kind of object
0:36:12 > 0:36:15that he would want to sell along with these beautiful cars.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18The map owes him nearly £190.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Will it put him streets ahead of Bingo?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Well, here's my map. The Auto-Mapic.
0:36:25 > 0:36:30- Nice name.- It's a road map of southern England and the Midlands.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34So, you've actually got... It's 14 different maps in total.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Also, what I find quite interesting
0:36:35 > 0:36:38is that I think this is glove box size.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Yeah, for cars of that period whether it had a reasonable size...
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Yes, everyone had a glove box. - I do think it's a brilliant piece.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45I like the way it looks.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49I like the tactile sense of the fact it's all within this plastic case.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Probably, the most...
0:36:51 > 0:36:55interesting part is probably sort of London and the surrounding area
0:36:55 > 0:36:57because you can probably date it much more readily
0:36:57 > 0:37:00if we just sort of skip up to London.
0:37:00 > 0:37:04Here. And you can see very clearly that there's the North Circular.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08- The beginnings of.- But of course, there's no M25.- No, no.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11And if you look further west, there's no M4.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13You've just got the Bath Road, the A4.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Yeah, and there's no beginning of the M1 either,
0:37:15 > 0:37:18so we can date it as pre-1960...
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Well, price-wise, I'm looking for £280 for it.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24- What?- £280.
0:37:24 > 0:37:26- I thought that's what you said. - THEY LAUGH
0:37:27 > 0:37:30I was going to give you £200
0:37:30 > 0:37:32when I had seen the photographs,
0:37:32 > 0:37:34but having actually seen it now
0:37:34 > 0:37:38and the fact it's got a box, which I didn't notice in the photographs,
0:37:38 > 0:37:40but was probably there and it's mint,
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I would give you 225.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Could you do another 25? 250?
0:37:47 > 0:37:48230.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- 240.- Done.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55A gentlemanly haggle and the map navigates a profit of £51.20.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02Well, that's another great sale, but time to move on.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03Left here, Graeme.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Jonty soon finds his way to another sale.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08His Scottish books are bought by a Scottish friend
0:38:08 > 0:38:14who pays £120, bringing in another decent profit £49.20.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18Now, remember the silk kimono that came with James's tapestry panel?
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Well, Bingo has finally got round to trying it on.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Ooh, and he looks lovely.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27So, will this help sell it to fashion student Millie?
0:38:27 > 0:38:29- Hello, Millie.- Hello.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Don't be alarmed by my attire. It is slightly worrying, isn't it?
0:38:32 > 0:38:34I think it suits you. Yeah.
0:38:34 > 0:38:36A middle-aged gentleman in a sort of kimono.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39This is what I wanted to show you. Come on, you fashion student.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Beautiful, isn't it? It's really beautiful.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Is it something that you might wear to possibly a fancy dress?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Not fancy dress. I think it's kind of...
0:38:48 > 0:38:49It's more like a dressing down.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52- Something you can just chuck on in the summer...- Yeah.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54..and sit in the garden with a coffee or something.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56- Would you buy this for a fiver?- Yes.
0:38:56 > 0:38:58Would you have it for a fiver? It's now yours.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01I will definitely have that for a fiver.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03And I'm going to take it off before I get arrested.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Well, Millie clearly doesn't think it's a crime of fashion.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08So, what about the tapestry panel?
0:39:08 > 0:39:12He takes that to an antiques shop in Bexhill to meet the owner Andy.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16But will the rips in the panel be a problem?
0:39:16 > 0:39:17Have a look at that.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- What, half a pole screen, James? - Half a pole screen.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Somebody's obviously whipped the stand for a...
0:39:22 > 0:39:25What happened there? A little bit damaged as well, unfortunately.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27What I love about these is I'd love something...
0:39:27 > 0:39:29I like the complete contemporary package.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33I like it when you've got a panel in its original frame.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35And it's a really sweet frame, isn't it?
0:39:35 > 0:39:37Yeah, it's nicely carved, isn't it?
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- This is the cornucopia, so symbol of plenty.- Yeah.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43And I want to try to get 20 quid for it.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45It's a tenner for the frame really, James, isn't it?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- How about 15, Andy?- No, I need 10 on this, James, I think.- Really?
0:39:48 > 0:39:51Yeah, it's... Otherwise I'll pass it on by, let someone else have a go.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53- Really?- Yeah, it's a tenner's worth.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57Tenner's worth. God, you are a hard man, Andy, aren't you?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00- Tenner's worth?- Yeah, go on, then.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02- OK. You can have it.- OK. Thank you, James.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05So, add that to the fiver he got for the kimono
0:40:05 > 0:40:07and James's profit is just £3.20.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12Whilst he's there, Andy also buys the pair of door pushes.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- OK, 45?- Go on, then. - Well done. Thank you.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19And that rings in a profit of £9.60.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21So, the second half of this selling spree
0:40:21 > 0:40:23hasn't really gone James's way.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Could Jonty cook up a win with his last item?
0:40:26 > 0:40:29The wedding cake stand cost The Hitman nearly £77
0:40:29 > 0:40:33and he's staying local, taking it to show Rob
0:40:33 > 0:40:37who manages a hotel in Shillingford that caters for weddings.
0:40:37 > 0:40:38This is a cake stand.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Because of its wear, I suppose,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44it has to be probably just before the war this was made.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48And it's also sort of plated silver we've got here.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52It comes with a knife as well attached.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54You can see it's definitely got some age to it.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Yes, genuinely nice piece. Nice to see it in its original box.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Now, price-wise, I'm looking for £140.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- I'm looking more in the region of paying around £100.- 100 quid?
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Well, if we do a bit more than that, I'll be happy. What about 110?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12- Yeah, OK.- Do that?- 110. - I'm happy with that. 110.- 110.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14- It's all yours, sir.- Thank you very much.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19Excellent work. Jonty cuts a deal and gets a profit of £33.30.
0:41:19 > 0:41:23Well, James, that's how to do it. Another sale, another profit.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25It's a piece of cake.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28So, there we have it. Everything has been sold.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30We'll find out our winner in just a moment.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33First let's remind ourselves of what they spent in Wareham.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39Both our boys arrived at auction with £1,000 of their own money.
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Jonty had a hard time but eventually left with six lots,
0:41:43 > 0:41:46spending nearly £785.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49James however spent much more.
0:41:49 > 0:41:53He bought seven times and forked out over £938.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56But, now it's all about the profits.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58All of the money that Jonty and James have made
0:41:58 > 0:42:01from today's challenge will go to charities of their choice.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04And it's now time to reveal who is today's
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Champion.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Jonty.- James. Now, that auction sale, it was tough!
0:42:11 > 0:42:15It was tough. It's very hard to buy well with that premium.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16You name it, it's all there, isn't it?
0:42:16 > 0:42:19I got really excited at the beginning of the day. Walked into the room.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- I thought there was so much to buy... - Yeah.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23..but when the auction sale started,
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- it was just more and more difficult to buy.- It was.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Should we see how we've done?- Should we see? I'm interested!- Let's go.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31285...
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- 189!- Oh!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35There should be a nought after that one.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38HE LAUGHS Oh, dear! Yeah.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- Well done, well done. - Well, one for me.- Yep. Champagne.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45Bit of a surprise there for James, it seems.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48He clearly thought the Chinese group had carved out a win,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51but Jonty's solid consistency wins through.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57How did slip away? My Chinese water buffalo make me a good profit.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01And I did all right on the rest, but Jonty has it.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06Wow! Got some great sales there. I had needed an interpreter for one.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08Road map, what fun that was.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Well, I won this one James. Maybe, you're going to get me next time.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16Hm. Maybe he will. Our boys do battle again tomorrow
0:43:16 > 0:43:19when they go rummaging around at an antiques fair in Leicestershire.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23HE BLOWS HORN
