0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:06 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Yee-ha!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15..and gives you the insider's view of the trade!
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Who's there?
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:21 > 0:00:24will face a different daily challenge...
0:00:24 > 0:00:25The axeman. Grr!
0:00:27 > 0:00:29..putting their reputations on the line...
0:00:29 > 0:00:30Ready for the ball.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..and giving you their top tips and savvy secrets
0:00:35 > 0:00:39on how to make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:39 > 0:00:43Get in there! DEMONIC LAUGH
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Today, the lean, mean dealing machine Jonty Hearnden
0:00:46 > 0:00:48faces up to the lord of the lots,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51auctioneer James Braxton at a car boot sale.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Coming up, Jonty gets a bit full of himself...
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- 30 quid the two.- 30 quid for the two? As it's me...
0:01:00 > 0:01:02As it's you, 40 quid.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05..James overvalues some vinyl...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08- Not at any price.- Really? - I'd only end up,
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I'm sorry, throwing them in the bin.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13..and Jonty racks up a profit.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15There you go.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18I think that looks the business.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19The things I do for a sale.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Sunrise over the Serengeti.
0:01:39 > 0:01:41Well, actually it's an old airfield in Sussex
0:01:41 > 0:01:44but, just like the hunters of the African plains,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47today's experts will be stalking their prey
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and going in for the kill.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50Their skills will be tested
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and this is the survival of the fittest.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56We've got two bargain beasts locking horns.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Who will emerge as king of the car boot jungle
0:01:59 > 0:02:02and who will be eaten alive?
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Preparing to pounce,
0:02:03 > 0:02:06a man whose natural habitat is far from a car boot.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10He's a chipper chap and ready to dive into the pool of profit.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Charging in from East Sussex, it's the demon of the deals,
0:02:13 > 0:02:15the old master of the saleroom,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17it's James "Bingo" Braxton.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19ELEPHANT TRUMPETS
0:02:19 > 0:02:21I've been looking forward to this.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24His mighty challenger is an antiques animal.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26He may seem a friendly bloke,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29but under that country jacket is a dealer with killer instincts.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Swinging in from Oxfordshire, he's got his claws out
0:02:32 > 0:02:34and he's ready to sink his teeth in,
0:02:34 > 0:02:37it's Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39TIGER ROARS
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Just got to pounce on something as quickly as you possibly can.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Our two hunters' stall-safari takes place
0:02:45 > 0:02:48on the vast plains of the Ford Airfield car boot sale,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51all in the heat of the glaring Sussex sun.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Our experts each have £250 of their own money to spend.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Once they've bought, they must sell it on and any profit
0:02:58 > 0:03:01they make will go to charities that they've chosen.
0:03:01 > 0:03:02It's all about fast foraging
0:03:02 > 0:03:06and hard haggling, yet one false move could be fatal.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10James Braxton and Jonty Hearnden, the sun may still be rising,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13but now is the time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- Morning, James. How you doing? - Morning. Are we in the right place?
0:03:18 > 0:03:19I tell you what, we are.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Now, this place might look empty at the moment
0:03:22 > 0:03:23but very, very quickly,
0:03:23 > 0:03:26this place will be absolutely heaving with dealers.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- Believe you me.- And it's a fast and furious market, is it?- Absolutely.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35I've been here before and it fills up as quickly as they disappear.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36By midday, they're all gone.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- £250.- Yep.- Your advice?- My advice is to be as quick as possible.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44But what am I telling you advice for? THEY LAUGH
0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Go and have a good day.- Thanks a lot.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Yes, as soon as the sellers start coming in,
0:03:49 > 0:03:53it's like wildebeest round a watering hole - mighty crowded.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Our predators need to push to the front
0:03:55 > 0:03:58if they stand any chance of bagging those bargains.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Arriving in from this side and they are landing at the far end
0:04:04 > 0:04:08so I'm going to start at the far end and work my way backwards.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Follow me.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Super-savvy strategy from the old tiger. He seems confident.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16But what about Bingo?
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Really, my plan of attack is to get on with it pretty smartly.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I need to get at the back of a fresh lorry
0:04:23 > 0:04:27and buy two or three items there. Two or three items next time.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And it's just a sort of rolling programme
0:04:29 > 0:04:31but you've got to really seize the initiative.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36You know, that cap makes James look like some sort of secret superhero.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39The Masked Money Maker is on a mission!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42If you've got a lorry, he's coming to rummage around in it!
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Anyway, the flat-capped collector is quickly in attack mode.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Hey, that looks quite good, doesn't it? Here, hold on.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Yes, cat-like,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55the agile auctioneer has spotted a hefty piece of ironwork.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02- How much for your fire surround?- 40 quid.- 40 quid. I'll buy that for 40.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Brilliant. Don't go and scrap it now, will you?
0:05:04 > 0:05:06- No, I won't go and scrap it. - Thank you very much.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Fabulous quality. Really well-made. It's a fire curb so it'll go round.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15It's a smart-looking curb. Stop people bashing into things.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Keep logs from coming out.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It's a good quality of materials. Nice weight to it.
0:05:20 > 0:05:28It should be sort of 1890 to 1910 but it may be later. Mine for £40.
0:05:28 > 0:05:29Ka-ching.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Ka-ching indeed, old boy. James has wasted absolutely no time.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Jonty, however, is, um, imitating his rival.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40I say!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Yes. Trying to get a bit of superhero status.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Might be better to concentrate on scouring the stalls, Jonty,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51because James has quickly picked up his second purchase
0:05:51 > 0:05:53for £30.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55What do we have here?
0:05:55 > 0:05:57All intents and purposes, it looks like a table,
0:05:57 > 0:06:03but generically these are known as gypsy tables. Gypsy tables, why?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05They're sort of turned, I suppose.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Turned by a bodger in the woods.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10They've got three legs, gypsies are always travelling, on the move.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13It's always sound everywhere.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16The edge of this table - really late 19th century.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20And then it's got this cloth top which is rather unusual.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26What I'll do is probably take off the tassels, the fringing,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30and then I'll get a new piece of material.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Put a circular piece of cut glass on it, hey presto!
0:06:34 > 0:06:38You know, retail that in the West End.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Ooh, the West End! Fancy!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Jonty is still wandering round, but nothing's caught his attention.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48I really have to look as quickly as I possibly can.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53And the danger of doing that is, when you buy, you can buy in haste
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and possibly repent at leisure.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Well, no-one said this was easy. James, though, is on fire.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02He's only gone and bought his third item, an octagonal tray
0:07:02 > 0:07:04costing him £5.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05This is quite an interesting item.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09It comes from Syria, from the streets of Damascus,
0:07:09 > 0:07:14and this sort of Syrian mosaic is rather nice. Very nice shape.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Octagonal, it's galleried.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22You can imagine coffees coming out in glass, being put on a table.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24It's a lovely, lovely thing there.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29I'm not sure, I think it's too small ever to have been a table top.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Very often you've got octagonal occasional tables.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34I think this is just a tray.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37We've got quite a lot of movement here. Somebody will buy it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40I'll get a small profit out of that. And it's an interesting item.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43All the way from the other side of the world.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48This is definitely James's game. The Hitman is nowhere to be seen.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51He really does need to buy something.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's not really for me. Unfortunately.
0:07:54 > 0:07:5930 quid? I'm not in there yet. Not quite. I'm close.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02But just as things start to look a little desperate,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04he finally spies a trunk.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08- How much is your trunk?- Beautiful little trunk, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09I've got 40 quid on it.
0:08:09 > 0:08:1240 quid. Could you do me a little less? I'll buy it for 30.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- 35.- No, 30. I've got to make a profit. 30 quid?- 35.- 30.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20It's got to be 30.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- I'll buy it now, 30 quid. - All right, done.- 30 quid.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Yes, he's a hard man, our Hitman, isn't he?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28He's finally off and running.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31But before he packs his trunk and says goodbye to the dealer,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34he enquires about some occasional tables.
0:08:34 > 0:08:39- What is the death on those? What can I do on those?- That's 25.- 22.50?
0:08:39 > 0:08:4122.50.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I don't think I've got any spare ones for change.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- Well, how about 20?- How about 20? - Cos I'm a nice bloke.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- You got away with that one, didn't you?- How about that?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- I like him.- He's given me it for 20 quid.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53And The Hitman scores again.
0:08:53 > 0:08:58So this was my first purchase of the day, this lovely travelling trunk.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Just had to buy it because it reminds me so much of those pre-war days
0:09:02 > 0:09:05of being on those steamer ships going across the Atlantic.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Just absolutely fabulous.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10You needed objects like this to store your clothes in.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13It's really solid. It's very, very sturdy,
0:09:13 > 0:09:16and you've got these wonderful brass corners
0:09:16 > 0:09:18to a travelling trunk like this.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21At 30 quid, that has to be a bargain.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26Whilst on the same stall, I spotted these retro side tables.
0:09:26 > 0:09:291950s, really cool in a certain niche market at the moment.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Got walnut-veneered tops, which I have to say,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35are in pretty ropey condition and I have to work out
0:09:35 > 0:09:37whether I'm going to restore them or not.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40I don't know, but at 20 quid, I just had to buy them.
0:09:41 > 0:09:42Well, he seems very happy,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45but he's still lagging behind old Bingo,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48who continues to prowl around.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52However, The Hitman is now into his stride and pulls up at another stall
0:09:52 > 0:09:56where he spots a glass ashtray and a Royal Doulton vase.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- What's your very best if I bought the two?- 30 quid the two.
0:09:59 > 0:10:0230 quid for the two? As it's me...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- As it's you, 40 quid. - THEY LAUGH
0:10:04 > 0:10:06If you want the two, 30 quid.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09How about 25 for the two and I'll buy the two?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I can't do it.- Yes, you can. - I can't do it. 30 quid.
0:10:13 > 0:10:18- 25. Good man.- You're a hard man. - I've got to beat James.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Yes, once again, with his competitor weighing on his mind,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25The Hitman sinks his teeth in and refuses to let go.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Maybe the stallholder just wanted to see the back of him.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Now, you should know me by now, I'm an absolutely sucker for 1960s glass.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I just get so excited about the shapes and the form
0:10:36 > 0:10:40and this is the reason why I was really attracted to this.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Another reason why I'm so attracted is
0:10:42 > 0:10:46because it's in such fantastic condition. There's no chips.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49There's no wear on it at all. Lovely shape, lovely form.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The downside is that it's an ashtray.
0:10:51 > 0:10:56If it had been a vase - a lot more commercial. Ashtray - not so much.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58But, wow. I had to buy it.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02And I also had to buy this vase as well because it was so cheap.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06An Edwardian Royal Doulton vase.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's impressed on the underside here
0:11:08 > 0:11:12and it's unmistakably Royal Doulton insofar that you can see
0:11:12 > 0:11:15the shape, the form, this...form of decoration,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19how it's decorated on the outside is so typical.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23Probably sold as a pair once upon a time, but at 15 quid...
0:11:23 > 0:11:26can I not fail to make a profit?
0:11:26 > 0:11:30Only time will tell. So, Jonty has done two double deals back-to-back.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33Is this a winning streak or just panic stations?
0:11:33 > 0:11:34Let's pause to take stock.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Our experts each arrived
0:11:37 > 0:11:40with £250 of their own money.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42James "Bingo" Braxton was quick off the mark.
0:11:42 > 0:11:48He's snapped up three items for £75, leaving £175 to spend.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden
0:11:50 > 0:11:53started slow but suddenly has four items.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56And would you look at that. He's spent exactly the same as James,
0:11:56 > 0:12:01£75 so also has 1-7-5 in his kitty.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06It couldn't be closer. How exciting!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Our two gents, though, are typically unflustered.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- You're not disturbing the natives, are you?- There you are!
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- How are you getting on?- Yeah, fine. It's fast and furious, isn't it?
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Absolutely. Absolutely.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I must say, I think the Ford market is almost on the similar
0:12:21 > 0:12:23sort of model to the Metal Exchange.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Everything happens extremely quickly.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30- Now, good purchases, bad purchases? - All right purchases.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I've gone along with my eye. I've seen something.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- I haven't done any really healthy negotiation.- Right.- I've been...
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I think people will like me.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They've said £40 and I've just sort of peeled the money off.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- Oh, my word.- What about you? - I'm doing OK.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Doing a bit of purchases but absolutely,
0:12:47 > 0:12:50you've got a sense that all the business is being done right now.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54It is. You can't procrastinate at all, can you?
0:12:54 > 0:12:56No, you've got to really get on with it, absolutely.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Jonty, best of luck. - And to you, mate.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03No time to waste. Back into the fray they go.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Our rummaging rumble in the car boot jungle presses on
0:13:06 > 0:13:10and it's not long before Jonty comes across something else.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Now, I can spot a mirror even from the back.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17This looks quite an interesting mirror.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19This is...proper, French, late 19th-century,
0:13:19 > 0:13:22probably even turn of the century mirror.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Trouble is, down at the bottom here,
0:13:25 > 0:13:27we've got a massive, great, big crack.
0:13:27 > 0:13:32That is irreparable so the glass will have to be replaced.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35But it's the sort of shaped mirror that can be repainted.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38It's the sort of thing that doesn't necessarily have to be restored.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41It's an object that you can get the paintbrush out.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44It's the sort of object that could easily be called shabby-chic.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49It's actually even got a top here, which changes its symmetry,
0:13:49 > 0:13:51so it's really a versatile little frame, this.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56Excuse me. What's the damage? I know there's a lot of damage on there.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58- What's the price?- 45, basically.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04- 45 quid. That's far too much money. - I'll go down to 40.- 40.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07I was thinking about half that. I'll buy for 20.
0:14:07 > 0:14:12Can't. My best, I'll let you have it for 35 and that's my bottom dollar.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I'll do 25.- Can't. - Well, I've got the damage there.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19I've got to probably repaint the frame. I've got to replace the glass.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- Come on.- You've got to make a nice profit.- 25 quid.- I can't.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27- Shall we meet halfway and do 30?- Go on, then.- 30 quid?- Yes, all right.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Brilliant. Thank you very much indeed. Excellent.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Let me pay you some money.- You're a hard man to do business with.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34I'm always a hard man.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Yes, he's absolutely terrifying.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40So Jonty's two items up. Five purchases to James's three.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43And while Bingo continues to hunt for his full house,
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Jonty stays where he is and looks at some wine racks.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50You don't want to be taking these home with you, do you? Really.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54So if I was to buy these two, what would be a really good price?
0:14:54 > 0:14:59- My death would be 45 on the pair. - 45 quid?- 45 quid on the pair.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01What sort of age do you think they are?
0:15:01 > 0:15:06- They are, I would say, around 1950s. - 1950s.- 1960s.- Yeah.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09You have to go a really, really good price for me.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12You're a nice man, aren't you? Are you a nice man?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I'd like to think I am.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- I like to think you are. - Thank you ever so much.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Now what would you do for me, because I'm a nice bloke.- OK.- And also...
0:15:20 > 0:15:23£35 and I can't go no lower.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25£35. Sorry, did you say 30?
0:15:25 > 0:15:29- No, I said 35.- I thought you said 30.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32- You've heard right.- 30 quid. - Yeah.- Good man.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Yes, the old arm round the shoulder trick works a treat.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38His third double deal of the day
0:15:38 > 0:15:41and our trading tiger is one contented cat.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Look, I am such a happy man. Wonder how that Brakkers is getting on.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Well, not great, actually.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53Across the airfield, James is drastically trailing.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55The heat really is on.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57But our attack dog won't just roll over. Nope!
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Eventually, he spots a Japanese framed print.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04So this is sort of printed material.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07And they've cut it out to make a tableau
0:16:07 > 0:16:10but they've put a really nice frame around it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Gilt frame on a red backing. It's quite a nice all-round package.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15A very decorative item.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Somebody in the materials business would love this.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23So, he goes in for the kill.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Or in James's case, asks nicely...
0:16:26 > 0:16:31How much have you got on this? No? 25. Would 20 buy it?
0:16:32 > 0:16:34Oh, you lovely man.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36...and it pays off.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I know a man in soft furnishings who would love that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Soft furnishings? Is he talking about The Hitman?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Anyway, James's merry dealing dance pushes onward.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50Next, he snaps up some vintage vinyl. Two albums for £4.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54So we've bought Marvin Gaye.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58The great singer who led life to certainly the full.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Very handsome man.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Look at that cool cat.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It's a double album, so Live At The Palladium, London Palladium,
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and it's probably...
0:17:08 > 0:17:10When is it? 1977.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16And then here, this is a chap, this is a gap in my Motown collection.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19So Jimmy Ruffin Greatest Hits.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22And famously, What Becomes Of The Broken Hearted?
0:17:23 > 0:17:24That's the great thing about vinyl.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Look, you get all this lovely artwork.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29I've got to find some cool cat out there, haven't I?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38Yeah, well, our cool cat is just oozing confidence now. So relaxed.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41So self-assured. No worries.
0:17:43 > 0:17:47He leisurely strolls out for another foray and in time,
0:17:47 > 0:17:48he finds something.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50It's a building set, is it?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- So budding architect. How much have you got on this then?- 20.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Could you do this for 15?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Yeah, I could, yeah.- OK, I'll take it. That's really kind.- OK.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Thanks a lot.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07What have we got here? We've got a very sophisticated toy, really.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's Austrian. It's in this box.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11The box cover gives a clue to what it is.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It's making architectural models.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17So you lift up the lid there. What have we got here? Ah, here's the...
0:18:17 > 0:18:21The clue is in the instructions. You can make model towns.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23You can do slightly simpler versions.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25You can make individual buildings.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Has the very sort of...Brave New World feel about it.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Gotham City, doesn't it?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34And then here are the objects.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37They're all made of beech and they're sectional objects.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40You've got elements like corners, you've got elements like arches.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43And these are rather fun, these are the windows.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45So you just introduce the windows like that.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49At £15, it doesn't seem that expensive.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Ah, yes, James can't resist a bit of architecture.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56It's one of his private passions.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00That model deal brings our buying bonanza to an end.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04As they get ready to show off their wares, let's tot up the tallies.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09James and Jonty each arrived at Ford with a budget of £250.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11After a worrying period in the middle,
0:19:11 > 0:19:15James leaves with six purchases costing £114.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Jonty struck gold with three double deals.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23He's spent a little more. £135.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- Wow. What a collection.- It's a great collection, isn't it?
0:19:27 > 0:19:32I'm feeling sort of... um, purchasing envy towards you.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- You've got some big bits. What are those beasties?- My wine racks.- No!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40- Yeah.- They're the sort of Rolls-Royce version.- I don't know about that.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45- What, 50, 100 did you pay? - No. £30, I bought them. Not bad, huh?
0:19:45 > 0:19:46What, each?
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Just for the pair.- No!
0:19:48 > 0:19:53- Yes.- What's your best buy, do you think?- My best buy, I reckon...
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I think I did pretty well on my mirror, you know.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- 30 quid for the mirror.- £30!- Yeah. - Are you sure?- Yeah.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- I know, an absolute bargain.- £30?
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The problem is that the mirror itself is damaged.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08- Tell me about this fender. I think that's very good quality.- Yeah.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10You need to be a muscle man to lift it.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14It's really good quality. It's got great integrity of construction.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17It's a nice piece. That's where my profit is.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- What did you pay for that? - What do you think?
0:20:19 > 0:20:23- That's a good £100 worth of fender there.- Really? You're too kind. 40.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- 40, bargain.- Now, you've got some smaller items here, haven't you?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30Yeah, got this funny architectural game. A sort of modelling game.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Austrian, made of beech,
0:20:32 > 0:20:36and you can construct these Gotham-like, Manhattan skyscrapers.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- So sort of 1960s and '70s game, is it?- I think it's '50s really.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Ah, no, I can see where that's come from.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Good luck.- I think you've got this one, Jonty.- No, no.
0:20:45 > 0:20:47We haven't finished yet. We haven't finished yet.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Oh, James is nervous and he's only done the easy bit.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58This is where the pressure ramps up considerably,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01because they now face the even greater challenge
0:21:01 > 0:21:02of selling everything.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Big profits are the name of this part of the game.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09To secure those, they must chase every contact, follow every lead
0:21:09 > 0:21:13and exhaust every last drop of energy to bring home the bacon.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Back at Hearnden HQ, Jonty, at least, is in an upbeat mood.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24Really interesting mix. My wine racks, they were an absolute steal.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Got a pair of tables. Now, they're damaged.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'm not sure where I'm going to go with those.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30I've also got a damaged mirror as well.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Really, what I'm going to be doing, is to take that to a glaziers
0:21:33 > 0:21:37to try and replace the glass to maximise my return.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39My trunk, I'm sure there's an awful lot of people that want trunks
0:21:39 > 0:21:43and I've got my two decorative objects on the top there too.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So all in all, I really do think that I've come away
0:21:46 > 0:21:51from this car boot sale genuinely pleased with what I've purchased.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55In East Sussex, James has also gathered together his items.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58But is he feeling any more confident?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Probably the principle item is this lovely fire surround.
0:22:01 > 0:22:06It was the first thing I bought on the day and I paid £40 for it.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09It's got everything with greater integrity.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12You can see all the construction there.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I like this as well, this is my chintz picture
0:22:15 > 0:22:20and it looks like a 17th-century Dutch master's still life.
0:22:20 > 0:22:25This is quite a sweet item, only a fiver. A Damascus tray from Syria.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Gypsy table, generically known as a gypsy table.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Three-legged table with spindle things. And Gotham City.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35This is a rather nice architect's block work game.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38And the marvellous Marvin Gaye and Jimmy Ruffin,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41those two vinyl records. They only cost me £4.
0:22:41 > 0:22:46Um, it's a good clutch of items. There should be good profits in it.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50Well, he seems in a fairly chipper mood, which is just as well.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Both our boys need all their strength
0:22:52 > 0:22:54if they're to find the very best buyers.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56And remember, until they've shaken on it
0:22:56 > 0:22:59and the money has changed hands, no deal is ever sealed.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Jonty already has a plan.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Before he kicks off his campaign proper,
0:23:04 > 0:23:06he's got a bit of restoration to do.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09He's brought his mirror to David who's a glazier in Wallingford.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- Now, here's my mirror.- Yeah.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17As you can see, the glass has been completely smashed here.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21And the only way I think I can maximise my return on this one
0:23:21 > 0:23:24is to get the mirror replaced.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26OK. Yeah,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29I think we could probably do that with a bevel for around £55.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Would you be able to put it into the frame as well?
0:23:31 > 0:23:34Yeah, we can do that for you. Not a problem. We'll give you a call.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35Thanks very much.
0:23:35 > 0:23:36The price of that new glass
0:23:36 > 0:23:38will almost treble the cost of the mirror.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41But Jonty still thinks it'll make a clear profit.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43There's five other items to sell
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and he wastes no time getting down to business.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48First stop, Henley-on-Thames.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51So this could be my first sale.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I've had my wine racks delivered to James, who's a local wine merchant.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59They're inside and hopefully, he might quite like them.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01There he is.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- Afternoon.- James, how you doing?- All right.- I see they arrived safely.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06They seem to have done.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08What's your first impression of my lovely wine racks?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10- Well-used. - THEY LAUGH
0:24:10 > 0:24:12You're very polite.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15They look like they've been in quite a damp environment.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- Uh, well, they come from a cellar presumably.- I hope so.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Now, are cellars normally damp? Is there a dampness to cellars?
0:24:20 > 0:24:22- You're a man that should know. - They should be, yeah.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Because they should be a fixed, low temperature.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26So naturally, by being in the ground,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29they will remain damp to a degree.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32But they look fine apart from that. Well-aged.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35Yeah. Now, presumably, one could get an awful lot of bottles on these.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Yeah, I don't know how many. We haven't...- One, two, three,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40- four, five...- Yeah.- ..per section.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44So yeah, we're looking at maybe a couple of hundred bottles on these.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46I'd have thought so, yeah. Quite efficient storage.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Are these good enough quality
0:24:48 > 0:24:51for you to think about a possible purchase here?
0:24:51 > 0:24:52Yeah, I would have thought so.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55They'll be fine for our own storage of stuff in the office,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58- so samples that are coming in and out.- Oh, right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01I have noticed there's just a few bottles lying around here.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03There's a bit of a problem in this office, yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05We never seem to get on top of the sampling
0:25:05 > 0:25:07so we often have a lot of extra bottles kicking around.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08OK.
0:25:08 > 0:25:13- Price wise, I'm looking for £60 each. - OK.- How does that sound to you?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- Bit steep, really. How about 80 for the pair.- 80 for the pair?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19- What about 90?- 90's good.
0:25:19 > 0:25:2190 quid, but you've got to put the rack into place
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and put some bottles in it.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- I think I'll do that for you, sir. - All right. Thanks, Jonty.- Thank you.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Jonty's in the money. He racks up a profit of £60.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36There we go. I think that looks the business.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37The things I do for a sale.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Can James also make a big impression with his first sale?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45He's in Brighton to meet George who sells LPs.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48His shop has been here for more than 65 years.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Looks like I've come to the right place.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Hello.- Oh, hello. Good afternoon.- James.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- George.- George, very nice to meet you.- And you as well.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- I've heard a lot about you from my son. - THEY LAUGH
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Who says you have a remarkable collection
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- and it is a remarkable shop.- Thank you very much. A labour of love.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Here are the two records that I bought.- Ye gods.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16And I bought them at a car boot. Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Ruffin.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Oh, dear, oh, dear, oh, dear...
0:26:18 > 0:26:20What are you oh, dear-ing, oh, dear-ing and dear-ing?
0:26:20 > 0:26:25When people bring in records for me to buy,
0:26:25 > 0:26:31if the cover is like that, worn etc, I don't bother to look at the disc.
0:26:31 > 0:26:36- Really?- Because I can be assured that the disc is in a similar state.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38- Really?- Yep.- So you don't get...?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That isn't so worn, the Jimmy Ruffin.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45I know, but it's too worn for me. So sadly, I must decline them.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- No? Not even at any price, George? - Not at any price.- Really?
0:26:49 > 0:26:55- I'd only end up, I'm sorry, throwing them in the bin.- Really?- Yes.- OK.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57No, I totally accept that. Don't worry.
0:26:57 > 0:27:01Hopefully, I might be able to keep them, George, and play them myself.
0:27:01 > 0:27:02Well, the best of luck to you.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04No, no, no, no. That's against the rules.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06If he can't sell the albums,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09the Put Your Money games masters will seize them.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13And maybe listen to them. So, the records are a bad start for Bingo.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16Let's hope there's a more positive spin on his next item,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18his £5 Syrian tray.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21He's in Bloomsbury in Central London to meet Christopher
0:27:21 > 0:27:24who's an antiques interior designer.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27- Oh, James. Good morning.- Morning, Christopher. How are you?- Very well.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28- Good to see you again. - Lovely to see you.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Now, who's your little friend down here?- Oh, this is Dolly.- Dolly.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35My daughter's dog. Comes to work with me a couple of days a week.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Now you've seen the image of this, Christopher.- Yes.- Have a look at it.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43Yeah. It's a bit more beaten up, James, than I'd realised.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Incredible craftsmanship. - It is.- All this inlay.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Christopher, what sort of age do you think this is?
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Well, I think they certainly were making them
0:27:53 > 0:27:55throughout the 19th century.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59And, you know, the English equivalent would be Tunbridge ware.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- Wouldn't it?- Yeah. It's a nice thing, James.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04How much are you looking for?
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- What would you be happy to pay for it?- Would £30 be acceptable?
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- £30?- Yes.- It's yours, Christopher. Thank you very much indeed.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Thank you, James. Pleasure. Thank you.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Well, he's finally got a sale. And it's a good one.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20The tray makes six times what James paid. That's a profit of £25.
0:28:22 > 0:28:24In this business, you've got to be flexible.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26It was slightly more damaged than Christopher thought,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28so he paid me less.
0:28:28 > 0:28:29But I'm still very happy with the price.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Now, this is turning into a fairly unlucky game.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37First James's records, now there's a bit of a saga
0:28:37 > 0:28:40with Jonty's pair of kidney-shaped 1950s tables.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43And it's all because of a leaky roof...
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Now, I've got a bit of bad news to report. Remember these tables?
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Well, they were damaged. But they've become even more damaged.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53They've been stored in my garage and we've had a heavy downpour
0:28:53 > 0:28:55but I've had a bit of a leak.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58And the whole top and the underside of one table
0:28:58 > 0:29:00has become very damaged indeed.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04Which really makes these tables completely un-restorable.
0:29:04 > 0:29:05Or, more to the point, not worth restoring.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10It's going to cost me more to restore than I can get a return.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13So I'm going to have to withdraw them.
0:29:13 > 0:29:14Oh, dear, Hitman.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Well, that means Jonty loses the money
0:29:16 > 0:29:19he paid for the tables. £20 down the drain.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Or through the roof, whichever way you want to look at it.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Jonty does have some luck though.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28He sells the Morano Glass ashtray to a tour operator in Henley
0:29:28 > 0:29:30who's looking for a centrepiece for his meeting room...
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- Could we say 30?- Yeah, very happy with that.- Yeah?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39And that provides Jonty with a much-needed profit of £20.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44James is still in London at Canary Wharf.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47He's meeting Andrew who's the Chief Executive of a new railway line
0:29:47 > 0:29:49being dug beneath the capital.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Andrew is always on the lookout for things to inspire young engineers
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and James is hoping his wooden architectural kit
0:29:55 > 0:29:56could be just the thing.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58It cost him £15.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04There's some weight there, Andrew. Why have you brought me here?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07James, we're standing right by the Canary Wharf Station.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12One of ten stations of Crossrail which is 120km long.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15And we're building it right now. We're halfway through.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- 2018, we're going to open it to the public.- 2018?
0:30:18 > 0:30:22And really, this is the stuff on the surface. The real action is...
0:30:22 > 0:30:24How far below?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Well, if you can imagine, this is about half the height,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30so 20m below there is where our tunnel-boring machines,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33our factory is, and they come with ladies' names.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Elizabeth and Victoria passed through this area late last year.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40So they've gone through. They're off now into the West End.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44An amazing scale of engineering. A Victorian size.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Well, funnily enough, doesn't this look like Canary Wharf? Doesn't it?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53It's quite fun. This is the game I showed you in the photograph.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56The New City. And that could be Canary Wharf, that.
0:30:56 > 0:31:01Instead of plastic bits and bobs, you can make all these models
0:31:01 > 0:31:04and it's all beech, made of beech. And things like that.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07I think what I might do is to buy this and to give it
0:31:07 > 0:31:10to a fantastic initiative we've got called Young Crossrails.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Come on, James, what's the price? - I was looking for around 100.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- Right. I'll offer you £70. - £70.- Yeah.- £70.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Could I squeeze you a bit? 80?
0:31:22 > 0:31:25- Um... Let's call the final figure 75.- You've got yourself a deal.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Thank you.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29And that builds nicely on James's profit.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31He makes £60.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35I'm very pleased with that.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39A very appropriate price for the centre, the financial hub,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42of London, if not the world.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45And while James gets food for thought on how to make big money,
0:31:45 > 0:31:48let's see how our selling stalwarts are getting on.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Jonty has so far struck two deals,
0:31:53 > 0:31:57but taking his loss into account, has only made a profit of £60.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01James, however, is doing better.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05He's made just two sales but taken a profit of £85.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08But he does still have those problem records to deal with.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12So, we're a long way from big money just yet.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Jonty knows he needs some success and fast.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Time to pull something out of the...trunk, actually.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22It cost him 30 quid and he's brought it to Twyford in Berkshire.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27So I've got my trunk and I'm going to show it to Ethan
0:32:27 > 0:32:30and we've arranged to meet in this particular inn.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Now, Ethan's a film director
0:32:32 > 0:32:35and he's expressed an interest in possibly buying this
0:32:35 > 0:32:38as a prop for one of his movies.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40Sounds a bit strange to me.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Now, Ethan's not just any old film director. No!
0:32:44 > 0:32:47He makes horror movies and he's filmed in the pub before.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Can Jonty hold his nerve in the dark?
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Ethan, I am intrigued to know
0:32:52 > 0:32:55why you might be interested in buying my trunk.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59Er, I plan on using it for a film called Director.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Basically, he - the main protagonist - is...
0:33:02 > 0:33:06He murders people using film. And he has this trunk.
0:33:06 > 0:33:08No-one knows what's in it.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10So the idea is that this will be his trunk
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and we'll find out as the film goes on, the mystery of it.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16- So you're looking for a prop? - Basically, yep.
0:33:16 > 0:33:17Looking for a prop for the film.
0:33:17 > 0:33:21- OK.- So something that looked a bit worn and old. It adds a bit more...
0:33:21 > 0:33:25- Sounds very spooky to me.- A bit more horror-esque.- Proper horror.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Yeah, we're going with a bit of a Hitchcock vibe to it, so.- Wow.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31So a trunk like this is the perfect size.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34- You want something with a bit of character.- Exactly. The idea...
0:33:34 > 0:33:38One of the mysteries of it is he might have a few dead bodies in it.
0:33:38 > 0:33:39- So...- Few dead bodies!
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Cut up a few bodies, should be able to fit a few in the trunk,
0:33:42 > 0:33:44so that's the idea of it anyway.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46You're looking for something like this, bit of character.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48The trunk is probably about 50 years old,
0:33:48 > 0:33:50if you look at these brass corners,
0:33:50 > 0:33:52that's exactly the same style of trunk
0:33:52 > 0:33:56that was designed in the early part of the 20th century.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- So, price. I'm looking for £60 for my trunk.- I was thinking...
0:33:59 > 0:34:02You say 50 years old? About that?
0:34:02 > 0:34:08- It's about 50 years of age, yes. - Well, £10 a decade.- £10 a decade?
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- Yeah, takes up to 50.- 50 quid. - Any good to you, or...?
0:34:11 > 0:34:13- I'm happy with that. - 50 quid.- Yeah.- OK, then.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Well, that works. The trunk will have a starring role in a movie
0:34:17 > 0:34:19and Jonty has a £20 profit.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24A great little sale. Great profit.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26And good luck to Ethan for making the movie.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31But dead bodies in trunks. It just makes me wonder...
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Did I leave anything in that trunk?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43SCREAMING
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Crikey! Not sure which face is scarier.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48One thing's for sure, Jonty is back on track
0:34:48 > 0:34:51and now not all that far behind old Bingo.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53James continues to criss-cross London
0:34:53 > 0:34:55but things aren't as simple as he'd hoped.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58His wrought-iron fender is causing him problems.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00This is my star.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04I thought I was going to sell this easy peasy to a private buyer.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08But I haven't found one, so I'd come to Golborne Road
0:35:08 > 0:35:11in Notting Hill to a fireplace
0:35:11 > 0:35:14and fire surround, extras, accessories shop.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18If you're going to wholesale something, wholesale it in London.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23Well, let's hope this works then. The fender owes him £40.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25- Hello, Tony.- James.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28Well, speaking and carrying this is not an easy operation.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Very nice to meet you. - You too. You too.
0:35:30 > 0:35:35I see you're accustomed to fire surrounds and fire baskets
0:35:35 > 0:35:37and various other things.
0:35:37 > 0:35:38This is the fellow.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41What do you think? Is this something that you might be interested in?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44It could be. It could be, James. It could be.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46Tony, it's very much Arts and Crafts in spirit.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Do you think it is late 19th-century?
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Er, possibly not.
0:35:51 > 0:35:57I wouldn't say so, but it certainly has aspects of Arts and Crafts.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Especially all this ironwork round here.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04I thought on this, I thought 120-180.
0:36:04 > 0:36:10- I'd guess 135.- 135.- I'd like to do the 135.- 135, it's yours, chief.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- All right, James.- Thank you.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16That's exactly what Bingo needed, a fiery profit of £95
0:36:16 > 0:36:19and that takes him way out in front of Jonty.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25He then finds a record dealer in Cornwall who DOES like his LPs.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28They sell for £11 but deducting the cost of some postage,
0:36:28 > 0:36:31the vinyl spins a profit of just £3.80.
0:36:31 > 0:36:32At least it's not a loss.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Back in Oxfordshire, Jonty does a deal
0:36:37 > 0:36:39on that Edwardian Royal Doulton vase.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41A friend in Henley pays £30
0:36:41 > 0:36:44and Jonty makes a useful £15 profit.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49The Hitman only has one item left to sell
0:36:49 > 0:36:52and he's hoping the mirror is going to bring in the big bucks.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55With the new glass installed, it stands him at £85.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58He takes it to Cheltenham to see an interior designer
0:36:58 > 0:37:01who specialises in shabby-chic furniture.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04She's called Charlie and she's already seen a picture.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Charlie, how you doing? - Hello, how are you?- I'm good.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10Come and have a look what I've brought you. What I've done to it...
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- The mirror, I bought the frame and the mirror.- Yes.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15The mirror was cracked.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- So I had to replace the glass.- Yeah.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19OK, so this is a brand-new bevel mirror.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23It's an object that I was delighted to buy and I'm hoping
0:37:23 > 0:37:26that you might be just the person to utilise something like this.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29Yeah, just thinking of a different use for it, actually,
0:37:29 > 0:37:30from where you've laid it there.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I do get sometimes these massive oak tables.
0:37:32 > 0:37:37- It'd look fantastic painted with all candles on it actually.- Oh, my word.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41- Getting creative now. But if you... - Filled that with candles?
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Yeah, if it was all painted beautifully,
0:37:43 > 0:37:45you could have petals and all sorts on it.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48But it is a mirror, so let's get back to that.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- Um, price? You interested in a price? - It would be nice, wouldn't it?
0:37:52 > 0:37:54A price. 300 quid is what I'm looking for.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57SHE GROANS
0:37:57 > 0:37:59That is a little bit too dear for me cos I've got to work on it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:00Yep, understandable.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03And even though I love doing my work, I've got to earn some pennies.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06- How about 170?- 170.
0:38:06 > 0:38:07- Yeah.- Ooh.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Yeah, I know you've replaced the glass, but I've got to still
0:38:10 > 0:38:13do quite a lot of work on it and make it look unique, haven't I?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I'll come down. 275?
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- 220.- 220?
0:38:19 > 0:38:23- Another fiver and it's yours. - OK, 225.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26- OK. Thank you.- Thank you.- Bless you.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The Hitman finally has a hit!
0:38:29 > 0:38:33The mirror creates a dazzling profit of £140.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Well, I definitely saved the best till last.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40And all of that hard work was definitely worth it.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42How are you getting on, Bingo?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Well, he's still got two items left to sell.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46He's still in Notting Hill
0:38:46 > 0:38:50and has arranged to see Simon who's an upholsterer.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53- Simon, what are you up to here? - Hello, young James.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- Is this the magic happening? - This is something like that.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00This is called, "Get some fabric on a chair quick and get it sold."
0:39:00 > 0:39:06Set that aside. Feast your eyes on this little beauty.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Somebody told me it was a gypsy table. I haven't a clue why.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12Um, it's something that they might have sat on with their little
0:39:12 > 0:39:15ball and sat there to read palms and all that.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Reading palms.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19And looking into the future.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22And how much would you be happy to pay for this?
0:39:22 > 0:39:25Start at a tenner and work down.
0:39:25 > 0:39:2650 quid, mate.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Are you sure?- 50 quid.- Can't we do it a bit better?- Yeah, we can.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- I'll teach you upholstery on it. - Yeah, no, no, but what's your price?
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- 40 quid?- 40 quid, you've got yourself a deal.- OK.- Go on.
0:39:38 > 0:39:39- Done and dusted.- There we are.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42You're itching to show me what you're going to do with this.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I'm absolutely fascinated.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- Now, you say you can do it under five minutes?- Under five minutes.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49- I'm going to time you, Simon. - OK.- Ready, steady, go.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52What did you say to me? Never arm wrestle a...?
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- Never arm wrestle an upholsterer. You'll lose. - JAMES LAUGHS
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- Two minutes 15 have elapsed. - Far too long.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02I see you're gathering speed now.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- Very good. You're doing very well. Come on.- There you go.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11You have done it with ten seconds to spare. And it is transformed.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Well done.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Wonder how much value Simon's just added.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18Anyway, for James, that deal brought in a £10 profit.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24You can't stop this profit maker. £10, a whole £10.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Watch out, Warren Buffett, this man is taking over.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Really, James? A profit maker, you say?
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Come on then, show us your final Buffett-busting move.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I've still been left with this picture.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39I've been unable to sell it.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44I liked it, everybody I've shown it to doesn't like it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49And it appears not to be circa 1900, more like circa 1980s.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52So it remains unsold and, in fact,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I and Mrs Bingo are the only two who like it.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Ah, well. Sadly for Mrs B, she can't stick it on her walls.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02That's against the rules.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05Yes, that picture is seized by the Put Your Money games masters
0:41:05 > 0:41:07and they donate it to a charity shop.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10For James, that means a loss of £20.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Now, let's think about the bigger picture
0:41:12 > 0:41:15and remind ourselves what they spent in Sussex.
0:41:16 > 0:41:21Both our experts took £250 of their own money to the car boot sale.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Jonty made six purchases
0:41:23 > 0:41:27and, including the replacement mirror, he spent £190.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30James also bought six times.
0:41:30 > 0:41:35Including his postage to Cornwall, he forked out £117.20.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37But what about the profit?
0:41:37 > 0:41:38All of the money that Jonty and James
0:41:38 > 0:41:40have made from today's challenge
0:41:40 > 0:41:42will go to charities of their choice.
0:41:42 > 0:41:43So, let's find out who is today's
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Champion!
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Hello, James.- Hello, Jonty. How are you?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Slightly different setting somewhat from the car boot sale.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I know, it is. All this lusciousness.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Favourite item?- Favourite item, I think my Austrian modelling set.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- Ah, yes.- Which I went to Canary Wharf
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- and I saw the mighty new station by Norman Foster.- Yeah.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Very impressive.- Make a nice, impressive profit?- I did!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Yeah, I did. And you? What was yours?- Wine racks did pretty well.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16I sold my mirror very well.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20- Bizarrely, I did quite well out of my car boot sale.- Oh, dear! Watch out.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Am I taking a bath, then? - Don't know. Shall we find out?
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Yeah, come on.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27- Ready?- On three. - BOTH: One, two, three...
0:42:29 > 0:42:34- 173.80.- Oh, it's close.- That was close.- Close.- You're nipping it now.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Well done again.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Well, the champagne could be on you.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42Yes, only £60 in it.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Jonty drives to victory at the car boot,
0:42:44 > 0:42:47while James was left needing roadside assistance.
0:42:48 > 0:42:49It was so close.
0:42:49 > 0:42:54If only I'd sold that picture, I may have won this leg.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56So pleased I restored the mirror.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Who's going to win next time, though, James?
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Well, that is the big question.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Tomorrow is not just any other day either.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04It's the culmination of the week,
0:43:04 > 0:43:07the ultimate challenge in antiques television.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11Fasten your seat belts for the mighty Put Your Money Showdown!
0:43:11 > 0:43:13That is an absolute bargain.
