0:00:51 > 0:00:55Coming up - John will go to any lengths to grab a bargain...
0:00:55 > 0:00:56Can't see anything I want,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59so I've resorted to rummaging through women's clothes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01..Kate's strong-arm tactics fail...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Oh, no! Hang on!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- SHE GIGGLES - Rewind!
0:01:06 > 0:01:09..and John meets a former England footballer.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- England v Austria. You scored?- That was my first England goal, yeah.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Today, we're in the shadow of Battersea Power Station in London
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and we've got two electrifying experts,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39fully charged and ready to light up the capital.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42They'll be surging through the stalls of a car-boot sale,
0:01:42 > 0:01:44digging out the best bargains.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Now, finding the fantastic among the tat-tastic
0:01:46 > 0:01:48is not for the faint-hearted,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52so prepare for a furious forage in highly pressurised conditions.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55So, who will make the lightning strikes?
0:01:55 > 0:02:00First up, an expert whose angelic looks hide a steely interior.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Her winning ways are the envy of everyone who takes her on.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08It's the mean, keen, Herefordshire haggler, Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11You've got to be quick. You snooze, you lose.
0:02:11 > 0:02:14No chance of snoozing from her competitor,
0:02:14 > 0:02:16a collectibles colossus who just happens to be
0:02:16 > 0:02:19a keen boxer in his spare time.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21He's rough and tough in the ring,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23and a hard hitter in the antiques arena.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25From Portsmouth, pumped and ready for action,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28it's John "The Hammer" Cameron.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I like to turn up, get someone on the spot and then get out.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Now, our daring dealers are both auctioneers.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39But how will our superstars of the saleroom get on at a car-boot?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, we'll soon see.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45They've each brought £250 of their own money,
0:02:45 > 0:02:48and any profit they make will go to charities of their choice.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Now, today's sale takes place in a school playground.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54So who will be teacher's pet and who will end up in detention?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Let's find out because, Kate Bliss and John Cameron,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01it's time to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Well!- Hi, Kate.- Morning. How are you doing?- Very well, thank you.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- So it's car-boot day?- I know, I'm excited.- Have you been here before?
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Well, I have. All I'm going to say is, it's a bit of a scrum.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You sound like a rugby girl.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17No! No experience of rugby, although I've got sharp elbows.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- And have you got your £250? - I have, burning a hole in my pocket.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22What's your plan today, then?
0:03:22 > 0:03:24I find car-boots a bit of a free-for-all,
0:03:24 > 0:03:27so I'm going to get in, get my bargains and get out. How about you?
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You can easily get distracted at a car-boot
0:03:29 > 0:03:31because there's so much on offer, isn't there?
0:03:31 > 0:03:34But I'm going to try and keep my standards up and go for quality,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36so try and pick out that gem.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Look, we are on the school playground race track,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41- so on your marks... - Ready, steady.- ..get set...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43BOTH: Go!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Yes, our antiques athletes are off.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Kate sets the pace but for John, it's a marathon, not a sprint.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53There is a danger of trying to rush round and cover all the ground
0:03:53 > 0:03:56but I'm going to take my time, have a close look on the stalls,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59just make sure I'm not missing any good bargains.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02So, John starts to cruise and peruse.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04I like your tartan trousers. Are they for sale?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06HE CHUCKLES
0:04:06 > 0:04:10But the relaxed approach is not for his rival.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13At a car-boot, the name of the game is speed,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16so I am going to go like the clappers!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Hmm, seems like it might be a tortoise-and-hare affair
0:04:20 > 0:04:23with these two, and we all know how that turned out.
0:04:23 > 0:04:24Come this way.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28Kate is determined to get on the inside track...
0:04:28 > 0:04:29We're behind the scenes.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Excuse me... - Ooh, look at her go,
0:04:32 > 0:04:35ducking and diving, squeezing through tiny spaces.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37Soon, she focuses on a camera,
0:04:37 > 0:04:39and although the seller would rather not be in the picture,
0:04:39 > 0:04:41he's happy to haggle.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43How much is the camera?
0:04:43 > 0:04:44- 30 quid.- 30 quid?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- 15 and you've got a deal. - No.- No?- Come on.- 20 quid?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Great!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52There you go. She's off and running.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55She snaps up the camera for a third off the asking price.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58So, first purchase of the day, and take a look at this.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01I'm quite excited. This is known as a box camera -
0:05:01 > 0:05:05it all folds up into a box - but when you open it up,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09you've got the bellows and the name quite clearly, here.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Agfa were a Belgian firm making cameras from 1867.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14I don't know the exact date of this,
0:05:14 > 0:05:18but I think it's certainly going to be
0:05:18 > 0:05:20sort of early 20th century.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22The nice thing is, it's in pretty good condition,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26because it's the bellows here which tend to get damaged.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28This is certainly one I want to research
0:05:28 > 0:05:31but for £20... The tripod's got to be worth that!
0:05:31 > 0:05:35Yes, Kate's chuffed to bits and takes an early lead.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37But John is hot on her heels.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40After all his talk of taking it easy,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43he's used his fancy footwork to stay off the ropes.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46He's bought a boxing print for £15.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50This is one of the most iconic British boxing scenes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54It's the young Cassius Clay fighting our Henry Cooper,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57three times British Heavyweight champion.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00This was an eliminator for the world title. At the end of the fifth round,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Cooper caught him with a peach of a left hook
0:06:03 > 0:06:05and sent Cassius Clay sprawling to the canvas,
0:06:05 > 0:06:08and his trainer Angelo Dundee famously tore his glove open,
0:06:08 > 0:06:10which delayed the start of the next round,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13giving Cassius Clay that all-important recovery time.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15He was out there to stop Cooper in the next round.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17It's got a facsimile signature of Cooper,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20and at £15, there's got to be a profit there.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Might even deliver that knockout blow, Kate.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25Ooh, fighting talk from The Hammer.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27And he's certainly found his fighting feet -
0:06:27 > 0:06:30he's straight in for another potential purchase.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34Can I have a look at the little matchbox covers?
0:06:34 > 0:06:38My eyes are so bad these days, I need these to look at everything.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Do 15 for those two?- Yes.- Yeah? OK.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46Well, his eyesight might not be what it was,
0:06:46 > 0:06:50but his deal-making is as sharp as ever. So, what's he got?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Now, these could quite possibly be the oldest things
0:06:53 > 0:06:54I'm going to buy today.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56They're a pair of wooden matchbox covers,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00probably early 20th century. You put your box of matches in there,
0:07:00 > 0:07:03there's a hole at the back so you can push the drawer open,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and that's where you'd strike each match.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07Both been hand painted,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11this one with a profile picture of an Airedale terrier,
0:07:11 > 0:07:14this one with a scene which is slightly controversial these days -
0:07:14 > 0:07:16it's a hunting scene -
0:07:16 > 0:07:18but nevertheless, still popular in subject matter.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22But at £15, I think they're going to spark me into profit.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25And that means Kate's ambition of finding quality items
0:07:25 > 0:07:27has left her trailing.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31After some searching, she finds some cigarette cards marked up at £20,
0:07:31 > 0:07:34but the stallholder marks her card from the off.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38I don't think they're worth 20 quid. 15? Oh, go on.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Go on, go on, go on.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Seriously? - See those Everest ones there?
0:07:43 > 0:07:47You would get £20 for those anywhere, and all the rest are profit.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49You're wearing me down!
0:07:49 > 0:07:52Mmm, the seller wasn't prepared to give an inch,
0:07:52 > 0:07:54and Kate hands over £20,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57but she's sure they'll still pack a profit.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01We've got not only a variety of subjects,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04from boxers right through to lighthouses
0:08:04 > 0:08:07to scientific instruments,
0:08:07 > 0:08:11but we've also got a variety of manufacturers here,
0:08:11 > 0:08:15but my favourite ones are these ones here,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17of the expedition to Mount Everest
0:08:17 > 0:08:20at the very early part of the 20th century,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24when Mallory and Irvine attempted to conquer the summit,
0:08:24 > 0:08:25and for a collector,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28these are going to be quite sought after.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Our two bargain-baggers are level pegging - two purchases apiece -
0:08:31 > 0:08:34and John might soon pull out in front again.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36He's spotted another sporting item.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39This time, it's a money box with a difference.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42- So, does it work?- Yes, sure. - Will it go it, do you think?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Shall I give it a go?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Yes, he shoots...- Wow.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49..he scores!
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Sign him up for England. Someone can take a penalty.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- How much is that?- £40.- Ohh!
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Can you do any better than that?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- 30.- 30?- 30.- Good man, good man.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Do I get the 10p inside? No, you can have that back!
0:09:06 > 0:09:07You can have the 10p back.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09So, will this piece of footy fun
0:09:09 > 0:09:13strike the back of the net, or will it prove to be an own goal?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I know I'm here to spend money,
0:09:15 > 0:09:17but I bought something that's really aimed at saving money -
0:09:17 > 0:09:20it's a novelty money box. Sadly, not Victorian.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23If it was, it'd be worth £200 or £300.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25It's referred to in the trade as "made yesterday" -
0:09:25 > 0:09:28it's a reproduction - but this one I really liked.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I did pay £30 for it, even after some haggling,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34so not sure just how much profit there is in that.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38These two have gone sports mad.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Not to be outdone by her rival,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45crafty Kate now steps up to the crease.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49She's spotted a practice cricket wicket that's missing its bails.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52- How much is this?- £5.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Just before you burst into song,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I'll give you a couple of quid for it.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- No...- A couple of quid.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02No, cos the wicket's missing and there are no BALLS.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05- You can buy balls. - I know, but that's more money.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- Give us £4.- Three quid?- Four. - Three quid?- No, no, no.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Four is good enough.- Come on. It's a pound.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12I've been here from six o'clock.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Mmm, she's on a sticky wicket!
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Go on, mate, go on.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- £4 is good enough. It's a good price.- £4.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Oh, caught out there!
0:10:20 > 0:10:24The seller bowls our maiden over and Kate coughs £4.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30But then maybe he spotted her confusion over bails and wickets!
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Now, this is my wildcard.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Firstly, it cost me just £4 and, secondly,
0:10:35 > 0:10:37it actually shouts quality.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41It's got the name Gray-Nicolls on it.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45They started manufacturing pieces way back in 1876,
0:10:45 > 0:10:47and they are still making things today,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51so, three centuries of cricket equipment production,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54and I think I'm going to aim this at a cricket club
0:10:54 > 0:10:56who needs to get in a bit of practice.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Yes, confident Kate seems bowled over with her purchase.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Now, the old car-boot chariots are fast filling up,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06so let's see how our duo are doing.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Our experts each started the day with £250 of their own money.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13Kate "Absolute" Bliss is proving herself a force to be reckoned with.
0:11:13 > 0:11:17She's bagged three buys for a total of £44.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21That leaves her £206 to spend, spend, spend.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26John "The Hammer" Cameron is making light work of the sale too.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30He's also made three purchases but spent more - £60 -
0:11:30 > 0:11:33leaving him £190 to play with.
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Hey!- Hi. How are you?- Were you speedy?- I've bought a few things.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- How about you? - Yes, bought a few things.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43I've got a couple earmarked. I'm hoping they're still there!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Have you bought any items of quality, though?
0:11:45 > 0:11:48Well, I've certainly bought variety.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50"Variety" is one way of saying "rubbish".
0:11:50 > 0:11:53I don't mind saying that that's what I've bought.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55I'm finding it a struggle to find anything decent and meaty.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- Yeah, that's the thing. - It's all little purchases.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01I haven't been over that side yet. How's it looking over there?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Well, I might have been over there.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Come on!- OK, I've been over there.- Is it all right?
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I bought a few things. Worth a look.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'm headed that way now, so I'll catch you in a bit.
0:12:09 > 0:12:10See you in a bit.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13Yes, you can try and throw him off the scent, Kate,
0:12:13 > 0:12:16but this super sleuth will try anything to bag a bargain.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19What's that, Maxi? Kate Bliss said what?
0:12:19 > 0:12:21There's no bargains over there?
0:12:21 > 0:12:23What's the bird's-eye view like?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25BIRD SQUAWKS
0:12:25 > 0:12:29Yeah, while John plays Dr Dolittle, Kate's getting all nostalgic
0:12:29 > 0:12:32and is having a Brideshead Revisited moment.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Now, this is quite fun...
0:12:34 > 0:12:39because this is an engraving of New College, Oxford,
0:12:39 > 0:12:43and I spent three happy years just the other side of that tower,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46at Brasenose College, Oxford,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50so this brings back quite happy memories for me.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- How much is your picture? - Five.- Please?- Five.- Five?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's a little bit foxed. Can I give you a couple?
0:12:56 > 0:12:58Five's... Four.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Three and you've got a deal.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Kate is back on track with her haggling...
0:13:03 > 0:13:04Two... Hang on.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07..and even gets a 5p discount. Yeah!
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Is that all right?- Yeah, fine. - Brilliant.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Well, every little helps!
0:13:11 > 0:13:14This is a type of print known as an engraving.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Now, an engraving is made by taking a copper plate
0:13:17 > 0:13:22and incising or engraving the actual scene onto the plate,
0:13:22 > 0:13:27covering it in ink and then pressing that plate on to some special paper.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29This one dates from about 1900,
0:13:29 > 0:13:33but it's also signed by the artist in the margin here,
0:13:33 > 0:13:35which makes it a little bit more sought-after.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39We've also go the title in the margin - Oxford New College
0:13:39 > 0:13:43and - this is the important bit - 31 / 100.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Limited edition to you and I,
0:13:45 > 0:13:47but limited edition in the 1900s.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50I don't know who I'm going to sell it to at the moment,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54but I think it's going to be a fun trip down memory lane for me.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57Kate's college capers will have to wait
0:13:57 > 0:14:00because John has a new plan on how to catch up.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Well, the car-boot was in full swing
0:14:03 > 0:14:05but there are still cars turning up and unloading,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08so I'm going to hold some of my money back,
0:14:08 > 0:14:09just in case there's something
0:14:09 > 0:14:12interesting coming out of these fresh cars coming in.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15More people are arriving, and the treasures are multiplying.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Before long, cunning Cameron pounces on a dinner service.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20How much have you got of it? Is it all there?
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Sets of six?- Yes, it's all there. - What's your price on it?
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- 30.- Better hold on to it, hadn't we?
0:14:26 > 0:14:27Oh, dear!
0:14:27 > 0:14:31The wind's picking now, but John's not blown over by the price.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33He makes the seller an offer.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- £20, go on.- All right.- Thank you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39£20. OK. I'll wrap it up, don't worry.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- I'm not bad at wrapping.- OK.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Yes, John, or is that J-C Hammer(?)
0:14:47 > 0:14:50J to the O to the H to the N haggles the lady down
0:14:50 > 0:14:52and does his fourth deal of the day.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Midwinter, Staffordshire pottery firm,
0:14:55 > 0:14:57set up round about 1910.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59Named after Roy Midwinter, the director.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Usually associated with these quite 20th-century designs.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I'm hoping to sell that to somebody that's into sort of retro design,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09'60s, something like that. Paid £20 for it.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11There are about 35 pieces there.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15I think this should see me with a little bit of profit there.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Our prime pair have done a lap of the booty track,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22but with time running out, they need another look.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30And it's not long before Kate finds something to make her sparkle.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- How much do you want for these? - 60 quid.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35- Can you do 50, just for me? - No, 60 quid.
0:15:35 > 0:15:38It's got to be 60? Meet me in the middle?
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- 55?- 55.- 55?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Thank you very much.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Well, I said to John that I was going to be looking for a gem.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47He's not going to believe it when I tell him
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I've actually found one,
0:15:49 > 0:15:51because this is my favourite buy so far.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54A pair of Victorian amethyst and gold earrings.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58Now, the reason I know they're Victorian
0:15:58 > 0:16:01is largely - not only because of the design -
0:16:01 > 0:16:04but the way that the stones have been cut.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06The facets are slightly bigger here,
0:16:06 > 0:16:11which allows the stone to really show some beautiful colours.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Yes, our jewellery expert can't resist a bit of bling,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16and before she leaves the stall,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19her sticky little paws pick out another gem.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Now, look what I've just spotted.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25It may be small but it's actually quite nicely formed.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29What we've got here is a sterling silver bulldog,
0:16:29 > 0:16:34and I think it was used as a little pendant or a fob,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38so the ball on the end here would go through your buttonhole
0:16:38 > 0:16:42and this would be your little pendant, your little fob.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Let's see what the price is.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- So, how much do you want for that, sir?- 25.- 25?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48I'll do you 20.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Um...
0:16:50 > 0:16:54- OK, go on.- £20? Lovely. That you very much indeed.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Her dogged determination has paid off
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and she's now leading the pack - six purchases to John's four.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And our hound dog is struggling to sniff out his next purchase.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06I've been round this car-boot several times
0:17:06 > 0:17:08and I've still things to buy. Can't see anything else I want
0:17:08 > 0:17:11so I've resorted to rummaging through women's clothes.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Don't worry, JC. We know you're all man.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17And just to prove it, he spends £10 on a cheeky little number.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19In fact, it's tiny.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I'll never live this down, you know.
0:17:21 > 0:17:25I've just bought myself a lady's leather and suede miniskirt.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27It's got a designer label in I don't know.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31The young lady told me that only a few years ago she paid £300 for it
0:17:31 > 0:17:34and wore it three times. £100 a night out.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Well, don't worry, I'm not about to start wearing this,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39but I'm hoping Kate might model it for me.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Yeah, don't count on it.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43She's definitely not going to give you a leg-up.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45But she is getting in on the fashion stakes.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Our material girl is sizing up some '60s fashion.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51How much is that one?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54I can do that one for £5.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I like the jacket. I'm not sure about that one.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- That's a true '60s dress.- Hmm.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- Could you chuck that one in? - What, the two for 20?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- 20?- Yes.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06I'll do 15 for the two.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08But I couldn't do less than that.
0:18:08 > 0:18:09Hmm.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12OK. £12 and you've got a deal.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15- Go on.- Brilliant. Thank you very much indeed.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18This jacket is typical 1960s.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Great colour - that very '60s bright blue -
0:18:21 > 0:18:24but the great thing about it, it's all original.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26Look at these lovely shiny buttons.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28None of them missing.
0:18:28 > 0:18:32All I need now is a vintage dealer who's mad about the '60s
0:18:32 > 0:18:35and I reckon I can at least double my money.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Purchase number seven for our Kate.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39The finishing line is fast approaching,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42and John is starting to get a little desperate,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44but then he spots that well-known antique -
0:18:44 > 0:18:46yes, a chocolate fountain(!)
0:18:46 > 0:18:50Give me a good price on it. I want to go home!
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- Um...- 15.- 15.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Tenner.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- Go on. Tenner?- Yeah.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57HE CHUCKLES
0:18:57 > 0:19:00This could be my star lot of the day.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03A design classic - you can see wonderful lines -
0:19:03 > 0:19:05and it's got that all-important box.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08You know how we're always saying that you must keep the box?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I think there's a sweet profit in this here chocolate fountain.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, let's hope so,
0:19:13 > 0:19:15because never in the history of Put Your Money
0:19:15 > 0:19:18has anyone bought anything quite like it.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20And that's why this game is brilliant.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Now, before our bargaining buccaneers assess their stash,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26let's have a look at the figures.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29Kate and John each arrived with a budget of £250.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Kate raced round and bought seven times,
0:19:32 > 0:19:36spending a total of £133.95.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40John stumbled past the chequered flag.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43His six purchases cost him bang on £100.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46So, with all the buying done and dusted,
0:19:46 > 0:19:50how are our captains of the car-boot feeling?
0:19:50 > 0:19:51So what a mixture!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53THEY LAUGH
0:19:53 > 0:19:54That's one way of describing it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58I'm not quite sure what was going on with me today, Kate.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00What about this?
0:20:00 > 0:20:05- Well, it's an early-21st-century classic.- Very early 21st century!
0:20:05 > 0:20:08I struggled to find anything really old today. How about you?
0:20:08 > 0:20:11You know I said I was going to look for a gem?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Yes.- Well, I have found a gem,
0:20:13 > 0:20:18because there we have a pair of Victorian amethyst-set earrings.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I knew you would be looking at jewellery.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Tell me about your skirt, because it looks more like a belt to me.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- I was kind of hoping you'd model it for me.- At this temperature?!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- You've got to be kidding. - It is rather short, I grant you.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32If all else fails, I can use it as a chamois leather.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36Talking of vintage, have you seen my '60s pieces here?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39I knew you would buy vintage, and I knew you would buy jewellery,
0:20:39 > 0:20:42and if you are nothing else, you are consistent.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43You know me too well, John.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46You wouldn't have had me buying a chocolate fountain, would you?
0:20:46 > 0:20:48No, and neither would we, John.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55So, our two bargain-busters must now become super sellers
0:20:55 > 0:20:57as they face their next massive challenge.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Their electrically charged dash around the car-boot
0:21:01 > 0:21:05will seem like a walk in the park compared to their upcoming mission -
0:21:05 > 0:21:08finding the best buyers for their boot-sale bounty.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11They must get researching, use their extensive contacts or,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15if all else fails, just find someone with a whole heap of cash.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17The pressure is about to ramp up,
0:21:17 > 0:21:19so let's hope they've recharged their batteries.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24At Bliss Towers in Herefordshire, Kate is full of confidence.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29The first thing I snapped up was this camera,
0:21:29 > 0:21:31and I think it's really quirky.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33Now, I'm not a camera specialist,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36but I do know that Agfa, written here,
0:21:36 > 0:21:37is a really good make.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The cigarette cards I think were a really good buy,
0:21:40 > 0:21:44because we've got all sorts of interesting subjects in here.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47My engraving, though, is my favourite piece,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51because it makes me go all dewy-eyed and think of my nostalgic days
0:21:51 > 0:21:56when I was studying. I want to take this back to Oxford
0:21:56 > 0:21:58and look up some old haunts.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01But I think the most profit is going to come from my cricket stumps,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04and I've got a cricket club not far from here
0:22:04 > 0:22:08who could just do with one of these to get in a bit of practice.
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Kate must also sell her earrings, her vintage clothes
0:22:12 > 0:22:14and her bulldog fob.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17But what about John's haul from the stalls?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20He's back on the south coast at his auction house.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24I spent £100 and have a rather interesting array of items.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28I've got this Midwinter dinner set here, £20.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Absolutely brand-new chocolate fountain,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33still in the box with the packaging - £10.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36So a sweet profit there. I've got two matchbox covers here -
0:22:36 > 0:22:39only £15 for the two - and there was this,
0:22:39 > 0:22:44the Cooper-Cassius Clay classic photograph print.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45£15 - that is knockout.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49Then I've got this suede and leather miniskirt.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51I didn't get Kate to try it on for me
0:22:51 > 0:22:55but, potentially, the buyer might give us a little show of that.
0:22:55 > 0:23:00And then you've got my reproduction cast-iron football moneybox,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02and I should be able to score with that one.
0:23:04 > 0:23:05In the back of the net!
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Our dynamic duo get down to business doing everything possible
0:23:09 > 0:23:11to line up those sales.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14And remember, it doesn't matter how many calls they make,
0:23:14 > 0:23:17how many e-mails they send or the distances they travel,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22no deal is ever sealed.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Kate goes into bat first.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27She's hoping to field a deal at her local cricket club
0:23:27 > 0:23:30with the practice stumps that cost her £4.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32I am at one of the most picturesque cricket grounds
0:23:32 > 0:23:35in my county, in the shadow of Eastnor Castle,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39and I've come to meet Jim, who's a member of the cricket club here.
0:23:39 > 0:23:40What stunning grounds you've got.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- Absolutely wonderful. - Especially on a day like today.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It's wonderful. A pleasure to play here.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Now, I've brought you this set of cricket stumps
0:23:47 > 0:23:50that I thought might come in handy for a bit of practice
0:23:50 > 0:23:53at the club. Now, my little set here has a cast-iron base,
0:23:53 > 0:23:55all sprung, all in working order
0:23:55 > 0:23:59- apart from I'm afraid I haven't got the bails.- I'll help you there.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03- Could you?- I've got a set of bails here, which you can have.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Oh, fantastic.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07So there you go - all ready for a match.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11So, Jim, I was looking at maybe £60?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13How do you feel about that?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17- 40.- Give me 40. Could you do a wee bit more for me?
0:24:17 > 0:24:21If you give me three chances to knock the bails off the wicket,
0:24:21 > 0:24:22and I can do it in three,
0:24:22 > 0:24:24- you can have it for 50.- Right.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- How does that sound?- It's a deal.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29- A deal?- Yes.- OK.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Hmm, Kate's so confident
0:24:31 > 0:24:35she hasn't even considered what the price might be if she fails.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Once she's in full cricket whites, she clarifies the gamble with Jim.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42If I can knock the bails off within three attempts,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- you can have the stumps for £50. - Right.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47If I can't, you can have them for 45.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- That's a deal.- Come on, then, what are the tips?
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- The main thing is to get your left arm...- Left arm?- ..straight.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57And then you follow through, and your right arm, the bowling arm,
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- try and touch your ear as you come over.- Piece of cake.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04- Whoo!- Yes!
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- SHE GIGGLES - It's tricky.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12- Oh, I forgot to do the other arm. - Yes.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Oh, no. Hang on. - SHE GIGGLES
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Rewind.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23Oh, no!
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Well, don't think I'll quite make the captain.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Jim, I think you won that one.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32- 45 it is.- Thank you very much.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35She said she'd do well with the stumps.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Despite losing the challenge,
0:25:36 > 0:25:39she still makes an impressive profit of £41.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41And that's an excellent start.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43Howzat?!
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Will John hit a six with his first appointment?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49He's in Southsea with his £10 leather miniskirt.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53He's taking it to show the owner of a vintage clothes shop.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55It's nice to see you, Lucy.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Tell me what's selling and what's not at the moment.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59They're loving the '90s at the moment.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02But, as always, we get our scenesters
0:26:02 > 0:26:04and the local rockers and mods, which is cool.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Still the '50s, the '60s...right up to the '90s?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Still, yeah. The '90s are vintage now, apparently.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Well, you know, I wouldn't be here if I hadn't brought you something.
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Have a look at this. Now...- Oh.- Be honest.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18- Have a look.- OK.- Feel the quality.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22- OK.- Look at the label inside, as well.- It's definitely not vintage.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25The style is a little bit dated but not dated enough.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28- What do you want for it? - Make me an offer.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Fiver?- Oh, Lucy! Behave yourself.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33I was thinking about 40, or something like that.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- 25.- Is that it?- I think 25 is good!
0:26:35 > 0:26:3830, and I'll put it on for you.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Will it fit?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Actually, I don't think it will.- No.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Mmm, even the prospect of John in a skirt fails to push up the price.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Reluctantly, he agrees to her offer of £25,
0:26:49 > 0:26:51bringing in a profit of £15.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58But Lucy does have some on-trend '90s gear for John to try on.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Give us a twirl, hot stuff!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02- Ah!- Ta-da!- Wow!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- So, what do you think? - Love it. It's bang-on-trend
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and it's what everybody's wearing, I promise.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10OK. Well, let's see if I turn some heads.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12Yes, John, you might turn some heads,
0:27:12 > 0:27:15but possibly for all the wrong reasons!
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Kate is hoping to extend her lead in Gloucestershire.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22She's meeting Jim, who's a member of the Cartophilic Society,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26so he collects cigarette cards. Kate's box cost her £20.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Have a little look in here and tell me what you make of them.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I'll put on my glasses and let's have a look.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35The first one coming out.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I recognise that. That is Churchman's Life In A Liner.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Now, for me, Jim, these are really interesting,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42because these are like little windows
0:27:42 > 0:27:44on history, life on board.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47They're nice. They're not too bad, condition-wise.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- I like these. Is this the Everests? - I thought these were really nice.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Yeah. When you pick them up, you can feel they're clean
0:27:53 > 0:27:55and there's no damage.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58- You like those?- I would definitely be interested in those.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I'll put those there.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02I really don't need those.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03And I really don't need those.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- Let's talk money, then.- Yes.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09I wouldn't want to go more, seriously, than £150.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Well, £150 sounds great for those,
0:28:13 > 0:28:16but these are also quite collectable, aren't they?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18Change of plans, then.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21Why don't I make it a round 200, and that's it?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23- £200 the lot?- Sure?- Done.- Right.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25Do I get a kiss or not?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27- Absolutely.- That's right. Yeah.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Jim definitely deserves a kiss.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32That's ten times what Kate paid.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36She makes a whopping profit of £180.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40And she barks up the right tree with her bulldog fob.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43An antiques dealer in Surrey buys it for £45,
0:28:43 > 0:28:45bringing in £25 profit.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49She's clearly the queen of the castle for now,
0:28:49 > 0:28:52but John is determined to fight back.
0:28:52 > 0:28:53And this is exciting.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56He's brought his novelty moneybox to Portsmouth
0:28:56 > 0:28:59to meet a former England footballer.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03I'm about to meet a Portsmouth and Ipswich Town footballing legend,
0:29:03 > 0:29:07a striker who amassed over 300 goals in his professional career.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09I've brought my cast-iron moneybox.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I'm just hoping that my admiration and respect for this man
0:29:12 > 0:29:16doesn't cloud my view when I'm trying to strike a deal.
0:29:16 > 0:29:21Ray Crawford's impressive career lasted from the 1950s to the 1970s.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Ray, it's good to see that you're in pretty tip-top shape.
0:29:25 > 0:29:26Have you been training?
0:29:26 > 0:29:29No! I've got a bit of a dodgy knee at the moment, John,
0:29:29 > 0:29:30but I'm fairly fit.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33My daughters keep me going. I've always got something to do for them.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36You were capped for England. I can see you've got two caps here.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Have you just got these out to tease me?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- You've got England v Austria there. - Yes.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- You scored?- I got the first goal.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- That was my first England goal, yeah.- What did that feel like?
0:29:46 > 0:29:47Amazing, John.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50You just don't know what to do with yourself once you've scored.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Ray, I could stay here all day and chat football with you,
0:29:54 > 0:29:57but I've got something I want to show you. It's up your street.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- Is it really?- It is. What do you think of this?
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Oh, that is brilliant!
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Have a look.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06We need to put a 10p piece on the launch pad here,
0:30:06 > 0:30:08foot comes back, like that,
0:30:08 > 0:30:10pull that trigger...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Whoa! Scored again!
0:30:13 > 0:30:16In the goal. 300 and how many is that now?
0:30:16 > 0:30:18That's 328.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20What do you think of it?
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Yes, that is for me.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24How's about 50 quid?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26I see you're as deadly with your dealing as you
0:30:26 > 0:30:27were in front of goal, Ray.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Is that your best offer? - I'll go up to 70.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- £70?- I will pay you £70 for this.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Ray, it would be an honour to sell it to you for one,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38and a double honour to take £70 for it,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- so can we shake on that? - Oh, definitely.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43£70, got yourself a deal there, Ray.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Ray sets it up and John powers a £40 profit
0:30:46 > 0:30:48into the back of the net.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51The sale couldn't have gone any better than that.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53I had a childhood trip down football memory lane
0:30:53 > 0:30:55and I made a decent profit.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59So, beware, Kate, it looks like Cameron's about to lift the title.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Mmm. We'll see.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03John's moved up the table but he'll need something special
0:31:03 > 0:31:06to get him to the top of the league.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09Now, will the chocolate fountain manage that job alone?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Unlikely, but he's back in Southsea to meet Hannah.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Although the machine has never been used,
0:31:14 > 0:31:17John has had it electrically tested to make sure it's safe.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19That cost him £2.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- Do you think you'd want to buy this? - I think I would.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25Yeah, I'm very interested.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27Why don't you make me an offer?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29£15.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Could you go to 25?
0:31:31 > 0:31:35- Will you take 20?- I will take 20, as long as I can test it, Hannah.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Yes.- Deal?- Deal.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Now's the moment of truth.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Do you want to unleash the chocolate?
0:31:45 > 0:31:46- OK.- Flick the switch.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48FOUNTAIN RATTLES
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Hmm, that doesn't sound too healthy, John.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53For a minute there, I thought it was going to grind to a halt,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55but it's working. It's coming out.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Well, Hannah's a happy customer,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00and John's probably delighted to have sold the thing.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Deducting the cost of the safety test,
0:32:02 > 0:32:04John makes a modest profit of £8.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07And he can't resist a taste.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Mmm.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16You see, Kate, even small profits can be sweet.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Hmm, that's as may be
0:32:18 > 0:32:20but the aim of the game is big profits, John.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23As we reach the halfway point of this selling saga,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26let's see how the profits are totting up.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Kate Bliss has so far made three sales
0:32:29 > 0:32:33and earned a very healthy profit - £246 all in.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36John Cameron has also sold three items
0:32:36 > 0:32:39but is trailing quite spectacularly -
0:32:39 > 0:32:41just £63 profit at this stage,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44which is about a quarter of Kate's total.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47So, as we hit the final furlong,
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Miss Bliss is way out in front and determined to stay there.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53She's on her next selling mission -
0:32:53 > 0:32:55with the 1930s camera that cost £20.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I've done a bit of research
0:32:57 > 0:33:01and found out that it's a fairly standard vintage model,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04so instead of marketing it at a specialist camera collector,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08I've brought it to Becky, who works for a prop hire company
0:33:08 > 0:33:10in north London.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13This place looks pretty big, so I've got to find her first.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Hello, I'm looking for Becky.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Ah, hello!- Hi!- Are you Becky? - Yes. Lovely to meet you.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30I found you at last! This place is amazing.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34We basically go around the world planning themed parties for people.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37So if someone wants a particular old-fashioned theme or
0:33:37 > 0:33:39a futuristic theme, we can go and create it for them.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Well, what I've brought you, I sort of had in mind
0:33:42 > 0:33:45it might be useful for something like a period drama.
0:33:45 > 0:33:51- Because this is the camera, and this folds out.- Very cute.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55This is a pretty standard camera from the early '30s.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Known as a box folding camera.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01It's got these lovely bellows on the front.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04It really looks the part, I think, and having the tripod as well,
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- I think it's a great period furnishing piece.- Yes, I love it.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- Brilliant. - For the camera and the tripod,
0:34:12 > 0:34:14I'm looking for around the £150 mark.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16How do you feel about that?
0:34:16 > 0:34:20It's probably more than we would usually pay for something like this.
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- I would've been thinking more around the £100 mark.- Could you do 120?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28I could probably go to 115,
0:34:28 > 0:34:30if that would work for you.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- I think that would work for me. Yes, 115.- Lovely, let's do it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:40Smile for the birdie, indeed! Kate manages another profit-busting move!
0:34:40 > 0:34:44She leaves North London a flashy £95 better off.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48That is the last thing John needed.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51But things could get worse.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54Kate's picked up momentum, and her next stop is her beloved Oxford.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59Obviously, she's brought the etching that cost her just £2.95.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I've brought my engraving right to the centre of Oxford,
0:35:02 > 0:35:06and New College, where this picture is taken from, is just over there.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10And behind me is my old college, Brasenose, and I'm really
0:35:10 > 0:35:14filled with nostalgia here, remembering my three happy years.
0:35:14 > 0:35:18But just like in my college days, there's work to be done.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Indeed there is.
0:35:20 > 0:35:25She's meeting Phil, who deals in antiquarian prints of the city.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29What I've brought to you, Phil, is a print of New college, which is
0:35:29 > 0:35:31just across the way here, isn't it?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35- It's a nice etching by Ferdinand Giele.- Yes, that's right.
0:35:35 > 0:35:41It is signed down in the bottom. Datewise, it's sort of 1915, 1920.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Ferdinand Giele moved over to England from Belgium at the outbreak
0:35:45 > 0:35:48or just after the outbreak of the First World War.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51- So that date would fit in about right.- OK.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55Well, I was hoping for somewhere near £150.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- How do you feel about that?- Not sure that leaves too much in it for me.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- OK.- Yeah, I think closer to the hundred mark,
0:36:03 > 0:36:06and I could make something out of that.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08That's good for me.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11My goodness! That's a mark-up of more than 3,000%
0:36:11 > 0:36:15and a profit of £97.05.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19So, does that mean it's frame, set and match?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Not if John has anything to do with it.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24He's still in Southsea to show his mid-20th-century
0:36:24 > 0:36:28dinner service to vintage collector Abigail.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32- I have to say you're looking very vintage today.- Thank you.- As always.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35And nobody rocks a turban quite like you, I have to say.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Well, I am the urban turbanista.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41The urban turbanista! I like that, that's good.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46- Anyway, here is the Midwinter dinner set.- Hmm. Pretty something, isn't it?
0:36:46 > 0:36:50- So what do you think? - I think it's really beautiful.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52It's not normally a colourway I would go for,
0:36:52 > 0:36:55but the fact that everything is complete and it's just so unusual.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58When you think of British ceramics, you think of Worcester
0:36:58 > 0:37:03and Wedgwood and Derby, but Midwinter was a very important factory.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Really, their success was due to the fact that they employed
0:37:07 > 0:37:10designers - people like Jessie Tait, Terence Conran -
0:37:10 > 0:37:14so the designs were always innovative.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17And their tableware is, certainly in the '50s and '60s,
0:37:17 > 0:37:18they were number one.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Yeah, I'm bowled over.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24And this would be yours for a one-time very reasonable price...
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Of 70 quid.- £70.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- I'll take that.- It's the first time no-one's tried to knock me.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34Yeah, well, perhaps you should have gone in higher, then, John!
0:37:34 > 0:37:39He gets a healthy plate of profit - a much-needed £50.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And he soon adds to that.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44His wooden matchbox covers are bought by a gentleman in Havant
0:37:44 > 0:37:48for £40, sliding in another £25 profit.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52So, John is back in the game, and just at the right time too.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Kate's run of big profits could be coming to an end.
0:37:55 > 0:37:59Something's happened with her earrings. Spill the beans, Kate.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03They've been tested on a gemological instrument which has proven
0:38:03 > 0:38:07that they are not in fact amethyst, but a simulant of amethyst,
0:38:07 > 0:38:11a synthetic stone which is man-made and grown in a laboratory.
0:38:11 > 0:38:15Now, had I known that when I bought them, I wouldn't have touched them.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18These things happen quite a lot in the jewellery trade,
0:38:18 > 0:38:21and in fact the amount of synthetic material
0:38:21 > 0:38:22coming on to the market
0:38:22 > 0:38:24unfortunately is increasing all the time,
0:38:24 > 0:38:27and it's a hazard of the jewellery trade.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30So unfortunately I've been caught out.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34I've got to now declare them as synthetic, and it's made me
0:38:34 > 0:38:37not nearly as confident about making a profit
0:38:37 > 0:38:38as I was when I bought them.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Well, Kate went on to sell the earrings at a jeweller's
0:38:41 > 0:38:46in Hereford, but for just £65 - much less than she hoped.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49It means her profit is a mere £10.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54And this is John's chance.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57He's off the ropes and heading back into the ring - quite literally.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01He's in the familiar surroundings of a boxing gym in Portsmouth
0:39:01 > 0:39:04to meet his friend Brad, who collects boxing memorabilia.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07And, before they even look at the Henry Cooper print,
0:39:07 > 0:39:09they can't resist a little sparring.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14- Time.- Right, come on, let's have a look at this boxing print.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17This is a lot better than I was expecting. It's really nice.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- You like that? - With a signature. Yeah, really nice.
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Probably the most iconic photograph in British boxing history.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27It's interesting you say that cos the tag line with
0:39:27 > 0:39:32this photo was "the punch that almost changed the world".
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- Fantastic image, limited-edition print. Do you like it?- I do.
0:39:36 > 0:39:41- Brad, make me an offer.- £30.- 30 quid? Is that your best offer?- It is.
0:39:41 > 0:39:46I was hoping to have done a bit better than that. But £30...
0:39:46 > 0:39:48All right. Shake my hand.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50A good, clean fight.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54The profit is only £15, though, and quite frankly,
0:39:54 > 0:39:56that's more featherweight than heavyweight.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58That may have sealed the contest.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Kate does still have one last sale. Still in Oxford,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05she's hoping to see off the dress and jacket that owe her £12.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08She's meeting vintage stylist Hannah.
0:40:08 > 0:40:09I thought at first actually it was '50s,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12but perhaps it might be a little bit later. I don't know what you think.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16I'm thinking more '60s, mid to late '60s.
0:40:16 > 0:40:20OK. So there's that one, and perhaps this is of interest as well.
0:40:20 > 0:40:21That's beautiful. This is gorgeous.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Yes, it's a little bit more unusual, I would say,
0:40:25 > 0:40:29- to have a frill. - They were quite simple in the '60s.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33If we start with the dress, I was hoping towards the £60 mark,
0:40:33 > 0:40:38and the jacket, perhaps around £30-£40 mark.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Certainly, that sounds like a great price for the dress.
0:40:40 > 0:40:41We could really use that.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45We do a lot of plays, so straight to the costume department.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49And this one, £30 sounds OK, if that's all right with you.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Mm-hm. That sounds fantastic for me.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57Well, her '60s clobber makes a very groovy profit of £78.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00So, there we are. They've done it. Everything has gone.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Before we find out the final results, though,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05let's remind ourselves what they spent.
0:41:05 > 0:41:10Kate and John arrived in Battersea with £250 of their own money.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15Kate left the car-boot with seven purchases, and spent £133.95.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18John struck six deals and,
0:41:18 > 0:41:21including the cost of the safety test on his chocolate fountain,
0:41:21 > 0:41:23spent £102.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25What matters now, though, is profit.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28All of the money that Kate and John have made
0:41:28 > 0:41:30from today's challenge will go to charities of their choice.
0:41:30 > 0:41:34And although you've probably guessed the winner, let's get confirmation.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion?
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Hey there!- How you doing? - Pretty good. How are you?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43Not too bad, thank you. Not too bad at all.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- Did you do all right on the selling side?- Yes, good fun, actually.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50I bought a job lot of cigarette cards, found a lovely
0:41:50 > 0:41:53collector, who I'm sure is going to make a profit on it as well.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- So a good result on those.- Good.
0:41:55 > 0:41:58I did enjoy selling my Henry Cooper boxing print.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Met an old sparring partner of mine at the gym
0:42:01 > 0:42:03and we had some fun with it.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06You know, I learned a few things about cricket.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Got the old bowling arm in action. Seriously!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- So, am I going to be out for a duck here?- I might hit you for six.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19- Oh, dear. Come on, then.- Let's have a look.- Ready.- Steady.- Go.- Go.
0:42:19 > 0:42:20- Ooh!- Oh, wow!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23I don't know about being bowled for a duck or hit for six.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25You've smashed it out the park there, Kate.
0:42:25 > 0:42:27Early tea and back to the pavilion for me.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30It's a shame I didn't do as well with my bowling, because there
0:42:30 > 0:42:34were some frightened cricketers when I got on the pitch, I can tell you.
0:42:34 > 0:42:38Yes, a brilliant innings for Kate. And John was caught behind.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41You have got to be quick off the mark at a car-boot
0:42:41 > 0:42:43and get in the fight.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46And I put my result down to a no-nonsense approach
0:42:46 > 0:42:51- and quite a lot of luck.- That girl certainly has good selling skills.
0:42:51 > 0:42:57She is hot. In fact Kate Blisteringly Hot has taken me back to school.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Well, John can attempt to reach the winners' enclosure tomorrow,
0:43:01 > 0:43:03when our duelling dealers go head-to-head
0:43:03 > 0:43:05at an antiques fair in Berkshire.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Does this work - the donkey barometer? WOMAN LAUGHS
0:43:08 > 0:43:10I'm serious!
