TRAIN WHISTLES | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
Welcome, one and all, to cheery Chesterfield | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
where the bells of the famous crooked spire of St Mary's have been | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
tolling the arrival of two saints of the sellables | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
and angels of artefacts. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Today, they are descending into the misty morning | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
of Twin Oaks Car Boot ready to anoint the masses with money | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
and lead themselves to the Holy Land of profits. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
First up, it's the wandering wiccan of Worcestershire | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
whose knowledge is as ancient as the cobwebs on his wallet. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
It's St Philip "The Fox" Serrell. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
As a rule, I don't like buying these. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
And vying for a seat at the table is the charmed cherub of choosing, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
the seraphim of sales, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:06 | |
a man whose trousers are brighter than a technicolour dream coat. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
Yes, he is devilish, but sometimes | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
a saint. It's David Harper. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:14 | |
Check out the colour of that one! That's bang on trend. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
They'll be hitting this car boot with £250 of their own money | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
to spend on whatever they think will turn them a profit | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
when it comes to selling. And all the money will go to charity. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:32 | |
But who will be victorious in this battle for Heaven, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Earth and, of course, the car boot? | 0:02:35 | 0:02:37 | |
But for now, David Harper and Philip Serrell, | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
it's time to put your money where your mouth is. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
-Good morning, Philip. -How are you, my friend? -Very good, very good. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -We might be a bit early. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:49 | |
Well, I thought these car boots started at the crack of dawn. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
-It is now nearly 10.00... -I know. -..and there's nothing here | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
except there's a burger van down there and you can get a 99 up there. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-That sounds all right to me. -You been to Chesterfield before? | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
-Several times. I like it. -Seen the old curly-wurly spire? | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
-I've seen it. -It's lovely. -You can't see very much today. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-We've got the M1 tearing by there... -Pardon? -Yeah, exactly. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
Yeah, I know, I know. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:09 | |
-So, 250 to spend. -Yeah, what are you going to buy? -Well, I don't know. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
-You know car boots, I mean... -Pff, get a hat, mate. -A hat? -Yeah. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
You are just jealous of the scarf, aren't you? | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-That's not a scarf, that's a curtain. -I'm copying you. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:20 | |
-It's identical to yours. It's better than yours. -Get in there. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
So, having discussed their fashion faux pas | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
and with the gates wide-open and the crowds descending, | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
exactly how will Devilish be tackling this car boot? | 0:03:29 | 0:03:33 | |
It used to be that I would get a great thrill | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
and a buzz out of buying antiques from a car boot, | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
but the market has changed so dramatically | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
that now the look is all about vintage - '60s, '70s, '80s. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
So, that's more of the look and the buying I'll be going for. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:49 | |
Yes, like a chameleon of the collectibles, | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
David is ready to blend in with his car boot crowd. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:55 | |
Phil, however, is feeling like a fish out of water. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
I'm under the cosh a bit here because this is not the | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
natural habitat of P Serrell and I fear it might be for D Harper. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
He's going to be in there buying stuff everywhere | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
and I'm just sort of going to be quietly looking, I think. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
I'm a bit daunted. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:12 | |
Ooh, not the most confident of first steps. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
Meanwhile, Devilish isn't just meandering the stalls, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
he's downright strutting. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
Morning. Hey, great to see you. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
# I'm walkin' on sunshine... # | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
You know, I absolutely love this place. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
Not because of the goods, | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
purely because I know Philip Serrell hates car boots. Ha! | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
Well, you may be right there. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
As across the boot sale, the Fox seems off form. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
How much is the table and chairs, please? | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
I've got 250 on them, but I'm very much open to negotiation. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
Yeah, I wouldn't get even close to that, my friend. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
You can take a two off, is where I am with them. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-Really, 50? -Yeah. Yeah. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:55 | |
This really is a totally alien culture to me. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
If you want to buy blue sheets, there's tonnes of them here. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
Mm, with our wily wanderer feeling a little out of sorts | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
and needing to find his merchandise mojo, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:08 | |
across the field, David is in high spirits. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
In fact, he is in high fidelity. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
-This is a great way to start a car boot fair! -Yeah. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-I mean, it's just fantastic. It's 1920s or '30s, isn't it? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:21 | |
I mean, that is for fun days out. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:24 | |
You go on a picnic with your friends and family | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
and you'd just play it by the river, wouldn't you? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-Have a singsong. -Have a singsong. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
If I break it, I suppose I've got to buy it. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Well, funny you should say that, David, as the Laughing Policeman | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
is laughing no more. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
RECORD SKIPS | 0:05:39 | 0:05:43 | |
It's rubbish. Richard, it's rubbish. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
Come on, Richard, you can do it! | 0:05:47 | 0:05:49 | |
What sort of money is it to me, if we can get it to actually work? | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
-100. -100 quid? | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
It's all the money, isn't it, as we say? | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
80 and we're there. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
-If you can get it to play, I'll have it for 80. How's that? -Yeah, yeah. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
RECORD PLAYS OUT OF TIME | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Well, that doesn't sound so good. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
-It's the needle, I think. I'll have to change the needle. -Yeah. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Always make sure your needle's in good order. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Yes. | 0:06:16 | 0:06:18 | |
RECORD PLAYS SLIGHTLY OUT OF TIME | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
RECORD SLOWLY PLAYS IN TIME | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
I'm not ready yet. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
RECORD PLAYS CORRECTLY | 0:06:35 | 0:06:39 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
We're going partying, Richard. We're going partying. I love it. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
80 quid. Thank you very much. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
And David secures the party piece along with a small | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
collection of records for a chart-topping £80, | 0:06:49 | 0:06:52 | |
but will it spin him a profit? | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
Quite a remarkable find, I think, | 0:06:54 | 0:06:56 | |
and quite a big spend also for a car boot. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
It's actually called a grafonola, which is not a gramophone. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
Gramophone is the big fixed ones with the huge speakers. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:04 | |
This grafonola has the speaker built in and of course, | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
made to transport. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
Remarkable, really. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:11 | |
So well put together and screaming Art Deco | 0:07:11 | 0:07:15 | |
and so well engineered. This little dish here holds your needles. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
But when you close the lid, this rubber stopper | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
pushes down into the needles and keeps them in position. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:27 | |
And then the mark at the back, "A Hindley, Nottingham," | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
which is quite close to here. I'm kind of thinking in my head here, | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
"Do I go vintage, go and try to sell it to a tea room? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
"Or do I take it to someone who really knows music?" | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
So, delightful purchase and we are going to have some fun with it, | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
that's for sure. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:43 | |
So, David's record player has him | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
dancing away with one purchase to his opponent's nil. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
Because it seems Phil is grooving to a different beat today - | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
the solitary samba. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
Absolute feeding frenzy, there is here. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
After a little rummaging, he finally spots something | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
he likes the look of, but probably couldn't use himself. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
-Beauty. -Is that right? -Yeah. It's gorgeous. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
No-one has ever said to me, "You ought to buy this. It's awful." | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:08:11 | 0:08:13 | |
No, but you know the value of that anyway. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-HE MUMBLES -I'm not making any money at ten. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:19 | |
-You want a tenner for it? -Yeah. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:20 | |
-Is that the best? -That is definitely the best. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
-Go on, I'll give you a tenner. -You know that. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
I'll give you a tenner for it. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
So, the sun isn't shining, I've got a deck chair that | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
I wouldn't even get me foot in, let alone me behind. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
Why would I buy that? | 0:08:32 | 0:08:34 | |
Well, for £10, I think it's a real good bit of fun. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
And it's the sort of thing that you are either going to sell | 0:08:36 | 0:08:39 | |
to someone with a young child or a great thing for a doll | 0:08:39 | 0:08:43 | |
or a teddy bear collector. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
Well, that's what I'm hoping. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:46 | |
Well, with at least a modicum of... | 0:08:46 | 0:08:49 | |
let's say optimism, Phil wanders wearily away | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
while David pounces in on the same stall, | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
spots a vintage Harrods hamper basket | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
and quickly spends £10 on it. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
So, this is probably the closest I will ever get to receiving | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
a Harrods hamper. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:05 | |
But what a lovely thing to receive at Christmas time, something, | 0:09:05 | 0:09:09 | |
a gift like that would be just dreamy. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
I mean, it's a very basic basket, but I love the shape of it. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
That kind of D-end shape and the combination of the wicker as well. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
So it's really good quality. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Date-wise, almost impossible to sort of pinpoint, | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
so let's just call it vintage. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
At ten quid, there's got to be a bit of a profit on there. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
Maybe a double bubble, meaning 20 quid. Thank you very much. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
So, David is sailing ahead with two buys to Phil's one. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
It seems our Fox needs to get back on course and quickly. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
Perhaps this compass will help. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
-It looks to be off a small boat. -Yes. | 0:09:45 | 0:09:48 | |
It looks like it's somewhere between the '50s and '60s. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Yeah, I would say so myself. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
And it looks like it's got a retail value of something | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
between 50 and 80 quid, I would think. | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
Well, that's rather sporting of Phil, | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
letting the vendor know the market value before making an offer. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:04 | |
Which means I've got to try and buy it for 20, 30 quid, really. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:07 | |
If that's any good to you. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:09 | |
Hm, maybe not so sporting. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:11 | |
-£25, that's all I've got, really. -I think it's worth a little bit more. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
-What's the best you'll do? -I'll do 30 quid. -30? -Yeah. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
Go on, I'll have a deal with you. At least I'll be able | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
to find me way home. There we are. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
Thank you. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:26 | |
Yes, Phil proving there that he is not a complete | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
fish out of water as he picks up a nautical knick-knack. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
This is a ship's compass and what I love about it, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
this would have been bolted to the deck of the ship, or a small boat, | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
and however stormy the seas were, you always knew that you were | 0:10:39 | 0:10:44 | |
heading on course. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
It's an English one, there's a London maker's mark just there. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
And then there's the model number there. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
I've just got to hope that it's going to keep me on the | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
straight and narrow for a profit. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:57 | |
Indeed, Phil. | 0:10:57 | 0:10:58 | |
With two buys in the bag, | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
the Fox is working hard to navigate his way back into this competition. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:04 | |
Meanwhile, David is sticking to his strategy of buying vintage | 0:11:04 | 0:11:08 | |
and has spotted the chance to refuel with a well-used petrol can. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:13 | |
So, tell me about it. What do you know? | 0:11:13 | 0:11:14 | |
Well, this one's quite rare cos it's got an eight on it. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
That was basically the price, eight shillings, | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
so that one was later, but the later ones never really survived. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
-So, the eight means it's what? -Eight shillings. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
-A gallon? Is that right? -Yeah, I think so. -That's interesting. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:27 | |
I didn't know that. OK. So, date-wise, what are we thinking? | 0:11:27 | 0:11:31 | |
-I'd say it's about '50s. -1950s? | 0:11:31 | 0:11:33 | |
-Are you big into this stuff, are you? -Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
I love the cap as well. | 0:11:36 | 0:11:38 | |
-That's a very different cap as well, actually. -Why? | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
It hasn't got Esso on it whereas usually they have Esso on it. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
This is really good information. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:45 | |
-I'm going to have to try and buy this off of you, aren't I? -Yeah. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
-It's not going to come to me at ten, is it? -No. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |
-What's it going to come to me at? -15 will be my best. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
-15, I'm going to have it. Good man. -Thank you. -Lots of luck to you. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
# On the road again... # | 0:11:59 | 0:12:00 | |
You know, I do love this business | 0:12:00 | 0:12:02 | |
because you do genuinely learn something new every day. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
And such a delight also to learn from such a young dealer | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
who is really passionate and knowledgeable. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
Knowledge is power and power is money. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
Yes, Devilish there proving that old dogs can learn new tricks, | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
while Phil is trying some old tricks on a new dog. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:24 | |
Hello. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
How are you? | 0:12:26 | 0:12:27 | |
Oh, look at you. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
How much? | 0:12:30 | 0:12:32 | |
No, he's not for sale, Phil. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
And with that, we are already at the midway point of this buying | 0:12:34 | 0:12:37 | |
bonanza, so let's see which one of our angels of antiques is | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
trumpeting their treasures and which is praying for purchases. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
From a £250 budget, David has three purchases and has | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
spent £105, | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
which leaves him with £145 for the rest of the day. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
Phil has had a slow start | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
and spent just £40 on two items, | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
leaving him £210 in the kitty. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
-David, how are you, my friend? -All right, all right. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-Are you struggling? -Yeah. -It's a car boot. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:09 | |
Yeah, there's a lot of cars. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:10 | |
-Yeah, a lot of boots. -Yeah, a lot of boots. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
No, I'm finding it tough and I don't mind admitting it. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
-I'm not a regular car boot goer. -No. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
And it's like a totally different society for me. I just... | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
-It's tough, isn't it? -Yeah, but look around you. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
At least there are people. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
When we first arrived, we were the only people in the field. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
-But you can't buy people. -Yeah, but people have things to sell. -Really? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
-Are we on the same programme? -I'll go and have a look, then. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
So, as our pair disappear back into the car boot chaos, | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
it is clear that the Fox has only one thing on his mind. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
I know that David Harper is really, really good at this, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
so I'm going to have to be on his case here. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
What I've really got to do is focus my mind and try to find a bargain. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
So, with boilers suddenly fired up, Phil goes full steam ahead | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
and tracks down three mounted locomotives. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
These are quite fun, these, aren't they? | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
How much are these, please? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
-I'll do 15 on the lot. -I don't actually know what they are. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
Well, they're trains. I'll give you a tenner for the lot. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-Go on, then. -There we are. You're a gentleman, thank you. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Yeah, so a £5 discount | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
and Phil rolls off with an arm full of nostalgia. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
And if he wanted to know what a train sounds like... | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
Diddly-dum, diddly-dum, diddly-dum, diddly-dum. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:22 | |
These are just fun things. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:24 | |
No great age to them, probably made out of resin, | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
but they're just models of different trains | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
and there are so many train and railway memorabilia enthusiasts out | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
there that I'm sure there's a profit in these at £10. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:37 | |
I've just got to hope, really, that I don't get derailed. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:41 | |
Yes, let's hope so, old chap. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:43 | |
Now, with Phil in full stride, | 0:14:43 | 0:14:45 | |
it's not long before he spots his next potential purchase. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
Isn't that lovely quality? How much is that? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
It's £40. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Now, while Phil has taken to telling the car booter | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
the value of their items, some do come prepared. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-And how much are these? -110. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:02 | |
-You know the value of the stuff, don't you? You're good. -Hard work. | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
Too good, you are. Too good. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
Now, what about this ropey old thing, then? | 0:15:08 | 0:15:11 | |
This one is 70. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:12 | |
I like that. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
Quite malleable, which is a good indication that it's silver. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
The thing that just really doesn't help this | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
is this inscription just here. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
"Miss Rich, in deep appreciation, Dr and Mrs FR Parrikar." | 0:15:24 | 0:15:29 | |
-Be lovely if that wasn't on there. -Yes. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
It's a nice thing that, but I can't give you 70 quid for it. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
For me to get a profit out of it, it's like £45. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
-OK, I will do for you 50 for that. -50? -Yeah. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:42 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:43 | |
Blimey, that £50 purchase doubles Phil's outlay so far. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
So, why was he seduced by the silver? | 0:15:47 | 0:15:49 | |
This is bang on trend at the moment. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
That's most unusual for me, but Indian and Eastern silver, | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
it's really, really, very, very collectible. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
Now, this is silver, doesn't have a hallmark on it, so the correct | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
way to sell it is as Indian white metal, | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
but I love these designs here. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
We've got all these fantastic landscapes all around. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
The only thing that in a way I'm disappointed with is this cartouche, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
or this shield, that is engraved. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Now, I've got a number of options here. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:21 | |
One is to try and find someone who's associated with | 0:16:21 | 0:16:24 | |
the people in here or I get it polished out. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
I'm inclined just to leave it and just sell it just as it is. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
I think it's a really, really lovely thing. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
And with that fourth buy in the bag, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
the Fox has surprised even himself. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
This is really uncommon ground for me | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
because I've bought the things that I wanted to and I'm... | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
feeling quite confident about it. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
This could all go horribly wrong. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:49 | |
Optimistic as ever. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:51 | |
Meanwhile, Devilish is again following in Phil's | 0:16:51 | 0:16:55 | |
footsteps and has been sucked in by the silver stall. | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
You have quite a collection of watches here. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-That one, how much would that one be? -35. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-35. -Silver. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:06 | |
It is silver. | 0:17:06 | 0:17:07 | |
So, made in Birmingham, there's your Birmingham mark. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
Date-wise, it's been rubbed off. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:14 | |
So we have the silver passant, we have the anchor. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:17 | |
-Do you know why Birmingham has the anchor? -No way. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:21 | |
Well, there's a number of stories, but the best one is that | 0:17:21 | 0:17:24 | |
many years ago a Birmingham and Sheffield silversmith... | 0:17:24 | 0:17:27 | |
CLOCK TICKS | 0:17:27 | 0:17:29 | |
..and they couldn't quite... | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
CLOCK TICKS | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
This is probably after about ten gallons of cider, | 0:17:33 | 0:17:36 | |
we'll have the anchor and that's why | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
the Birmingham silversmiths used the anchor. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Well, the hands of time have certainly moved on. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
In case you've forgotten, the vendor originally wanted £35 for the watch. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
-Can it be any cheaper for me? -30. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
-30, is that the best? -That's the best. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:51 | |
Well, you can't go wrong, 30 quid for a silver pocket watch, can you? | 0:17:51 | 0:17:54 | |
Thank you very much indeed. I'll have that. Thank you. | 0:17:54 | 0:17:57 | |
I'm not a great lover of pocket watches, I've got to tell you. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
Wristwatches, I absolutely adore, but pocket watches | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
are becoming quite fashionable with the hipsters in certain areas. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
You can see, can't you, a tweed suit wearing it? | 0:18:08 | 0:18:10 | |
It would look pretty smart. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:12 | |
So, we have the Roman numerals around the face | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
and then the Arabic on the second-hand, solid silver. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:19 | |
So, at 30 quid, it's not a bad buy. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
The kind of money it would make in auction, just for scrap value. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
So, all right for me. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
And all right for us. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:28 | |
Meanwhile, the Fox has been lured in by an Edwardian napkin ring. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:33 | |
-I will let you have it for a pound. -A pound? Are you sure? Pound? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:37 | |
-Honestly? -If you think it's worth more, you must give me more. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
I will leave it to you. | 0:18:40 | 0:18:41 | |
I think it's worth more, but I don't want to give you more. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:44 | |
Yes, that's the Phil we all know, | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
but the lady hasn't quite finished with the Fox. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
With conditions attached. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:50 | |
-Go on, then. What's that? -I want a kiss. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS | 0:18:52 | 0:18:54 | |
Well, a pound and a kiss, but has Phil really got a bargain? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:59 | |
What a really, really lovely lady. And she sold me a pure profit here. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:04 | |
The real sad thing for me is if you see that number five there, | 0:19:04 | 0:19:08 | |
this would originally have been a case set of six silver rings | 0:19:08 | 0:19:13 | |
and now there's only one left. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
So where the other five are, Lord knows. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:18 | |
But I think this is lovely and this is typical of the period. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:21 | |
The way it's got these scrolls and flower heads on it. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:25 | |
No great weight there. In terms of scrap silver... | 0:19:25 | 0:19:29 | |
there's probably less than an ounce. So in today's market, | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
that's about £8, but that's far too good to go in the melting pot. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
So that lip-smacking deal puts Phil up five items to David's four. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:40 | |
And as we reach the final throes of today's forage for the finest, | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
the race is on to find the best this car boot has left to offer. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:49 | |
Our keen-eyed twosome must now root through the chaff | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
and find the wheat. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:53 | |
Track down the treasures, | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
grasp the gems, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
or in Phil's case, | 0:19:57 | 0:19:58 | |
spend a fiver on a chair that's got flatulence fatigue. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
I love this chair. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:03 | |
It dates back to the mid-19th century. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
It's a north country ladder-back armchair | 0:20:05 | 0:20:08 | |
and it's just a really lovely, but totally unloved chair. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
There's some beautiful turnings here, look. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:14 | |
Where this has worn down, that's where someone's put their feet on that bottom bar | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
and it's worn it down and worn it down. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:20 | |
What am I going to do with it? | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
I can either get it restored, that's going to add cost, | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
or I could sell it to someone who's going to do the work. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
It's completely unloved. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
In fact, I know just how it feels. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
Oh, poor old Phil. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
Hang on a second! | 0:20:34 | 0:20:36 | |
Just a moment ago you were smooching a stallholder. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:39 | |
Yes. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:40 | |
Well, while the Fox goes to find a little more love, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
Devilish, the king of retro, | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
is considering a career move | 0:20:45 | 0:20:47 | |
and has eyes on becoming the king of rock and roll. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:50 | |
Please tell me that's an Elvis onesie. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
It is. | 0:20:52 | 0:20:54 | |
-Have you ever worn it? -Once. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
-LAUGHS: -Once and once only. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:58 | |
-Once, everybody laughed at me. -Did they? No, I'm so surprised(!) | 0:20:58 | 0:21:02 | |
I mean, it looks quite big. Can I have a closer look at it? | 0:21:02 | 0:21:04 | |
I mean, I will let you handle it | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
-cos it's quite a valuable object, I'm sure. -There you go. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
You know, I think that's quite stylish, don't you? Seriously. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
-It is very stylish. -How much is it? | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
-£2. -£2?! | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
You know, where else in the world would you buy a second-hand | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
Elvis onesie than a car boot? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Ugh, nowhere, David, nowhere. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
I think I've just got to have it. There's no negotiating here. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
Thank you very much indeed. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:33 | |
So, a cheeky £2 deal and Devilish gets to live out a lifelong dream. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:39 | |
I really just don't know what to say apart from... | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
Uh-huh-huh. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:45 | |
Yeah, viva Las Vegas, David. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
It's amazing, I've bought all my objects and people are still here! | 0:21:48 | 0:21:52 | |
That's really quite rare because car boots seem to just, | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
from nowhere, close up and everybody disappears. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:59 | |
I've bought some good things, but my favourite is the music system, | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
the grafonola, or as we like to call it in the trade, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
the grafono-lah! | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
Well, Harper may have crossed the finish line first, | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
but it seems the Fox hasn't given up on the race | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
as he pulls over for a pit stop, spends £8 | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
and pulls away with a modern Scalextric set. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
This really does throw me back to my childhood - | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
and yes, I can remember that long ago - | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
when my dad bought me one of these model racing sets. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:28 | |
I think they're really cool, really wicked. | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Now, there's no age to this at all. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
At £8, I think this is really, really cheap | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
and you know, I'm a real car man. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
I know enough car people | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
and I reckon I could sell that to one of them. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
Then I can get to have a go on it as well. Ha-ha! | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
Yeah, you big kid, you. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
And with that, our pilgrimage of purchasing is at an end, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |
so let's see what they spent at the car boot. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
From £250, David bought five items | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
and spent over half his budget, £137. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
Phil wanted some bargains today and he got more for less. | 0:23:02 | 0:23:06 | |
Seven items cost him £114. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:10 | |
But before they part ways, there's time for a little show and tell. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
Wow, gosh, Phil. I mean, we could set up our own car boot stall here. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
We might have to. How have you got on? | 0:23:19 | 0:23:20 | |
Well, I think you have to cover the miles. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
We must have walked ten miles today. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
-I was six foot three when I started. -You've walked yourself down! | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
The thing is, everything I bought perhaps a little bit more than it should have been. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
-I'm feeling exactly the same. -Yeah. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:34 | |
Car boots should be bargains. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
Actually, I don't think I've necessarily bought a bargain. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:39 | |
So what's your best buy? | 0:23:39 | 0:23:40 | |
Oh, without a doubt, this baby here. I love it to bits. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
You know, think of a picnic, sunshine, wonderful, | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
-great atmospheric sort of thing. -How much was it? -80 quid. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
-£80? -It's not car boot money, is it? -Well, I love this. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:53 | |
-This is my dearest buy. A little piece of Indian silver. -Yeah. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
£50. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:56 | |
You see, you think you go to a car boot, that should be a fiver, | 0:23:56 | 0:23:59 | |
that should be a tenner but you don't find that. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:02 | |
Which was your cheapest lot? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:03 | |
-Oh, I bought a proper car boot purchase... -Really? | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
-..and I think you are going to love it. -What was that? | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
Elvis Presley onesie for £2. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
What an earth is an Elvis Presley onesie? | 0:24:12 | 0:24:15 | |
Haven't you got a onesie? | 0:24:15 | 0:24:16 | |
-Don't tell me you don't have a onesie. -No! | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
Everybody in the world has a onesie. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:22 | |
I would rather have my little hallmarked, silver | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
napkin ring for a pound. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
-That's a car boot buy. -It's hallmarked silver, you know. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:30 | |
So what did you spend, Phil? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
About 110. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:33 | |
Just over that. You? | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
Yeah, 130-something. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
Not a load of money, but I don't think | 0:24:37 | 0:24:39 | |
we've bought a load of great stuff, to be honest. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
We certainly haven't covered ourselves in glory, have we? | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
I'll tell you one thing, I think your onesie that you paid a twosie for, that could be a 50p-sie, mate. | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
I'd be very pleased with a 50p-sie, to be honest. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
-Good luck, mate. -And we are going to need some luck with this one. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
-We really are. -Absolutely. Help! | 0:24:54 | 0:24:55 | |
They may be concerned about selling their booty, but sell it they must. | 0:24:57 | 0:25:01 | |
And so, our rummaging rascals hoof it home | 0:25:01 | 0:25:05 | |
to plan their attack. | 0:25:05 | 0:25:06 | |
They need to line up deep-pocketed buyers | 0:25:06 | 0:25:08 | |
and then haggle their way to victorious profit. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:11 | |
Back at his Worcestershire lair, | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
Phil is assessing his arsenal. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
My best lot was undoubtedly this little Indian silver trophy. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:21 | |
That's a really, really good quality thing. | 0:25:21 | 0:25:23 | |
It's flavour of the month at the moment and I'm hoping that | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
someone is going to show me a profit on my outlay. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:29 | |
The trains - I think lots and lots of people collect train | 0:25:29 | 0:25:33 | |
memorabilia, so I'm hoping there's a profit in those. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
The deck chair is clearly way, way too small for me, | 0:25:36 | 0:25:41 | |
so I'm going to have to try and find someone that will fit into it. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:44 | |
The chair, it was a weaker moment. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
£5 and you can't even sit in it. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
I might be in trouble with that. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:52 | |
Yes, that could be tricky. | 0:25:52 | 0:25:53 | |
And Phil also has to find buyers for his ship's compass, | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
his Edwardian napkin ring | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
and his racing set. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Over at Harper Hall, David seems happier with his purchases. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:05 | |
Wow, I'll tell you what, what an odd collection. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
The petrol tin, I love it. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
Great pal of mine has two wonderfully exotic cars. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:14 | |
He wants to build a collection of motorbilia, | 0:26:14 | 0:26:17 | |
so that will find a home. | 0:26:17 | 0:26:19 | |
And then the grafonola, it is just magic | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
and on rooting around inside the box, | 0:26:23 | 0:26:25 | |
I found spare needles. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
There must be about 100 in there, which is fantastic. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Finally, the silver pocket watch. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:31 | |
I would love to sell this to somebody who is going to use it. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
In some quarters, it's quite fashionable now to wear | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
kind of Edwardian-type clothing. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
So, quite an interesting bunch of stuff. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:41 | |
So, David also needs to line up buyers for his vintage hamper | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
and not forgetting his Elvis onesie. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:48 | |
Both our experts are raring to go, hitting the phones, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
the internet and the road in a bid to turn their purchases | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
into profit and accumulate the most money for their chosen charities. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:58 | |
But no deal is sealed until they have shaken on it | 0:26:58 | 0:27:01 | |
and the money has changed hands. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Phil is starting his selling spree on his home turf of Worcestershire. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
And not only is he taking a trip down memory lane, | 0:27:08 | 0:27:11 | |
but he is also going back to school. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
# Hey, teacher! | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
# Leave those kids alone. # | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Now, I know you might find it hard to believe that I was educated, | 0:27:18 | 0:27:23 | |
but I did go to RGS Worcester and I am at their prep department to see | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
if I can find someone who is going to fit in my little deckchair. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
Now, please bear with Phil, | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
he may be slightly disorientated as the chalk and slate of his youth | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
has been replaced by modern pens and paper. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
And look, Phil, it's all in colour! | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
The child's deckchair cost Phil a tenner. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:44 | |
And he is hoping headmistress Laura Brown can find a home for it. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:48 | |
-Hello, pleased to see you. -Good to see you. How are you? | 0:27:48 | 0:27:50 | |
-Lovely to see you. How are you today? -I'm back at school. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:52 | |
-I know. Welcome. -Who have they got for lesson? -Mrs Salisbury | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
with our lovely Dragonflies, our reception class. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
I've got to tell you, I was never ever this well-behaved. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
-I bet you were. -No, no. I know I wasn't. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
Look what I've brought. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
I mean, clearly, if I sit in there... | 0:28:06 | 0:28:08 | |
It's not going to work very well. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:11 | |
No personal offence intended. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
-That's harsh, isn't it? That's really harsh. -I can't sit in there either. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
There we go, that's two of us. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
No, no, no, no, I'll let you off on that. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
I thought it was really, really sweet. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
I was kind of thinking you could use it in a school play or, you know, | 0:28:22 | 0:28:26 | |
some sort of creative role, like that, really. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:29 | |
For this age group children, we do a lot of role-plays | 0:28:29 | 0:28:32 | |
and in the summer, this classroom will set up a beach. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
What we are trying to do is really make the learning fun | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
and really bring the learning to life for them | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
and this deck chair would be just brilliant. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
But what we do need to do, if it's all right with you, | 0:28:43 | 0:28:46 | |
is just check that it's the right size for the children. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
-Can I get a volunteer over? -Yeah, you can. | 0:28:48 | 0:28:50 | |
Time for four-year-old Sophia to see if the chair meets | 0:28:50 | 0:28:53 | |
with her exacting standards. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
Do you think you could try that deckchair and see if it's really comfy for me, Sophia? | 0:28:55 | 0:28:59 | |
Do you think we should have this deckchair for our classroom? | 0:28:59 | 0:29:03 | |
So it's passed the Sophia test, now Phil needs to push the price. | 0:29:03 | 0:29:07 | |
Well, I was hoping I might get, well, I don't know, £30, £35 for it? | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
What's your best price? | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
I'm going to give you my very best, one-off price. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
-Go on, your very, very best. -Just for you. 20 quid. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
-Done. Thank you very much. -Thank you. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
Phil's doubled his money, making a studious £10 profit. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
Now, are you sitting comfortably? | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
An antique is a really, really old thing. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
How old do you think I am? | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
132. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:32 | |
151. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:33 | |
-Well, I think you're all being rotten to me. -64. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
-11. -11? | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
I like you. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:39 | |
I'm nice Phil and I am in competition with a man called | 0:29:39 | 0:29:43 | |
-dastardly David. -Dastardly David. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
That's the very one. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
And I've got to sell my antiques for more money than him. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:50 | |
So, who do we want to win? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:51 | |
-ALL: -Nice Phil. | 0:29:51 | 0:29:53 | |
And they all lived happily ever after. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
Ah, and while Jackanory Phil is in a moneymaking mood, | 0:29:56 | 0:30:01 | |
he sells his 19th-century chair to antiques dealer David in Ledbury. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:05 | |
-So, a tenner? -Yeah. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
A gentleman. Thank you so much. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:08 | |
Making a fiver profit and doubling his money again. | 0:30:08 | 0:30:12 | |
So, wily Phil is in the lead. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
But revving his engine and ready to fight back, it's our David. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
He's brought the vintage petrol can to show car enthusiast Indy | 0:30:18 | 0:30:22 | |
and hopes he can motor away with more than the £15 he paid for it. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:26 | |
-This is one of the best man caves I've ever seen. -It's great. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:31 | |
-It is great. -You clearly love your cars, Indy. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:34 | |
I do. I like my classic cars. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
I think classic cars have a lot more character. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
Now, Indy, this is a fantastic man cave, but it could be perfect. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:43 | |
What you need is a collection of man-tiques. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:47 | |
This is a prime example of the kind of thing that you want. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:50 | |
I have been interested in some vintage memorabilia | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
and this looks quite good. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:54 | |
So, tell me a little bit about it. | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
Well, it's probably '40s or 1950s, something like that. | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
It's been repainted, but I think you can see | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
evidence of its earlier, original paint underneath. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
It's definitely seen better days, though, David. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:08 | |
You're not going to put petrol in it, are you? | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
Absolutely not because it'll come out of the bottom with all the holes. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
Oh, I didn't spot them. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:16 | |
It's a nice piece of memorabilia, isn't it? | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
I guess you have a price in mind. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
Well, I was thinking 35. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
I was thinking more of a tenner, really, David. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Ten?! Oh, my gosh. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -Let's do it for 30. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:29 | |
I'll tell you what I'll do. £20 and a blast in the Cobra. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:35 | |
We'll make it 25, plus a blast on a nice summer's day. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:39 | |
£22 and a blast in the Cobra. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
-And is lunch on you? -I'll do lunch as well. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
-Good man. -Why don't I give you a taster and start the car up now? | 0:31:44 | 0:31:48 | |
-Fire the baby up. -Let's do it. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:51 | |
-ENGINE REVS LOUDLY -Whoa! | 0:31:51 | 0:31:53 | |
My goodness that's a noisy £7 profit | 0:31:53 | 0:31:55 | |
and the promise of a summer joyride. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:57 | |
Now, with his ears ringing, | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
David goes off in search of some peace and quiet. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Still in the lead, and under the cover of darkness, | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
Phil has hatched a plan for his unusual piece of Indian silverware. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:10 | |
Worcester isn't only famous for its sauce, | 0:32:10 | 0:32:13 | |
but also its curry houses. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:15 | |
And I'm here to see Manir, | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
and I hope that not only is he going to buy this off me, | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
he's also going to tell me what it is. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:22 | |
It set Phil back £50, | 0:32:22 | 0:32:24 | |
but will restaurateur Manir be able to reveal its silvery secrets? | 0:32:24 | 0:32:28 | |
Wow, this is very nice. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
All this decoration is Indian, Asiatic in design? | 0:32:30 | 0:32:33 | |
It is very traditional Indian design. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
-An overlapping relief, isn't it? -Yes, yes. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:37 | |
-This is 19th century, isn't it? -Yes. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:38 | |
So, this possibly would have been made of silver rupees or | 0:32:38 | 0:32:41 | |
-something like that. -Yes. Silver rupees. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
There's no hallmark on it. Is that meant to look like an Indian village | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
-with these trees and these fronds here? -Yes, all this... | 0:32:46 | 0:32:50 | |
The houses, this is India. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
This is the Middle East. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:53 | |
-How do you know that? -Date trees only grow in Middle East. -Really? | 0:32:53 | 0:32:57 | |
-Yes. -And how do you know that's a date tree? -Different shaped leaves. | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
That's very cool. I just didn't know that. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
If you look at this inscription around here, | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
-"Miss Rich, in deep appreciation, Dr and Mrs FR..." -Parekh. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:11 | |
-Parekh. -Indian surname. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:13 | |
-It's a rich name. -Higher class. -Highest class name, yeah. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
Definitely Indian, yes. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
So, what would it have been used for? | 0:33:18 | 0:33:19 | |
Back in the days, there was no aftershave, no perfumes. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
-So, what did they do with that? -So, they used to burn a tree, | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
-a tree called oud. -An oud tree. -Yeah. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
Very, very scented, very expensive. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:30 | |
And you'd put your bit of oud tree in there, | 0:33:30 | 0:33:33 | |
and you'd set fire to it... | 0:33:33 | 0:33:34 | |
-Yeah. -..and then the... | 0:33:34 | 0:33:36 | |
the scent would infuse into your body, your clothes, | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
-your house, everything. -Everything. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
It used to be used only in the king families, royal families. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
No-one else could afford this kind of thing. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
-So, is that something that would interest you? -Yes. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
-I do collect these. -You do? -Yes. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:52 | |
It's getting better by the minute, this does. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
Well, lucky old Foxy, without even knowing what it was, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
he has stumbled across a collector. | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
I was hoping I might sell it for something around like £120, | 0:33:59 | 0:34:02 | |
something like that. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
I'll give you 80 quid. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:05 | |
What about if I split the difference with you? | 0:34:05 | 0:34:08 | |
-Deal. Done. -You done? You are a good man. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:11 | |
That £100 deal gives Phil a £50 profit | 0:34:11 | 0:34:15 | |
and he doubles his money again! | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
That's not to be sniffed at. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Feel like I could do with a bit of oud myself at the minute, actually. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
I have got some, actually. I use that quite a lot. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
-And you use this now at home? -Yeah, I use it instead of perfume. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:29 | |
-Oh, that's lovely. -Yes. Very. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:32 | |
And with the sweet smell of success tantalising his nostrils, | 0:34:32 | 0:34:35 | |
Phil moves on to his Edwardian napkin ring, | 0:34:35 | 0:34:38 | |
selling it to silver collector Roddy. | 0:34:38 | 0:34:40 | |
Why don't we say 21? | 0:34:41 | 0:34:43 | |
Do you know what? I like the profit margin in that. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:45 | |
-Well... -It's good, isn't it? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
That's a cracking return on Phil's £1 investment, | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
making him a profit of £20 and | 0:34:49 | 0:34:52 | |
pushing him further into the lead | 0:34:52 | 0:34:53 | |
with four sales to David's one. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:55 | |
Well, that's a really good mark-up. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:59 | |
Who knows, I might even win. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
The Fox is hoping for victory. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
But, back in Barnard Castle, Devilish David | 0:35:04 | 0:35:07 | |
has plenty more antiques ammunition, including his vintage hamper. | 0:35:07 | 0:35:11 | |
He's brought it to show Emma, who runs a gift hamper business. | 0:35:11 | 0:35:15 | |
He picked it up for a tenner, but can he fill it with profit? | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
Let me see if I can tempt you to buy a one-off, very special hamper. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:23 | |
This is something, I think, altogether different. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
It is, isn't it? | 0:35:26 | 0:35:27 | |
-Now, I bought it at a car boot fair. -Right. -But it's a posh hamper. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
It is very posh, yeah. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
Reputedly, it comes from an incredibly posh | 0:35:32 | 0:35:35 | |
-central London store. -Right. It's a very unique shape. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:40 | |
Yeah, it's got the carry handles, | 0:35:40 | 0:35:41 | |
so it's made to go on a picnic somewhere, I'm guessing. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:44 | |
-It would be perfect for a picnic, absolutely. -Ideal. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:46 | |
Look at the fact that you've got these leather straps. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
-It's not plastic. It is actually leather. -Yeah. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:51 | |
So, it's a very good quality thing. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:52 | |
How much do you pay for your hampers? | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
For one about that size, perhaps a bit shorter, I'd pay around £18. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:59 | |
Obviously, I buy them wholesale, so that's a little bit cheaper. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:03 | |
And this is a one-off, and mine are all... | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
pretty standard shapes and sizes. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
-So, would you, for a one-off, pay double that? £36. -£36? | 0:36:08 | 0:36:16 | |
That's a little bit more than I was expecting. Let me have a think. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
-I wouldn't pay £36 for it, David. -You wouldn't? -No, I... | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
When I looked at it, | 0:36:23 | 0:36:25 | |
that said that that was about a 20 quid basket to me. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
-Really? -Yeah. -Could it be a £30 basket? | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
-No. -OK. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
You could edge me over 20 but not far. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:39 | |
-Why don't we meet in the middle? -25... -Let's do it. -22.5? -Go on. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:44 | |
For goodness' sake. Are you going to throw in a pie? | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
-I'll give you a pie. -Marvellous! | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
So, David stuffs £12.50 into his profit pot and gets to stuff | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
his face, too. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
This is the way to do business. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |
And that brings us to the halfway mark, and it's time to reunite | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
our dealers and find out who's in the lead. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
-Welcome to my office. -Good to see you. -How are you getting on? | 0:37:08 | 0:37:10 | |
-I'm on a roll. I'm on fire. How about you? -Well, it's all going. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
-I mean, it's all going, actually. -Well, let's see where we are, then. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:17 | |
-One for you. -Right, what does yours say? | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
"So far, you've made less profit than your opponent." | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
-You're the one that's on fire! -Yes! | 0:37:23 | 0:37:26 | |
I was going to call you a loser because I'm doing really well! | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
No-one's ever called me a winner before. Ever, ever, ever. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
-I didn't call you a winner. -Loser. -I called you a loser. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
Worryingly... | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
I feel quite confident at the minute. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
-That's normally when it all goes wrong. -That's the spirit, Phil. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:45 | |
He's currently leading, but by how much? | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
I'll tell you what, let's have a look at the figures. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
Trailing slightly, David has done two deals | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
and has a profit of £19.50 in his pocket, | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
but, in the lead, Phil has sold four of the seven items, | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
racking up a solid starting profit of £85. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
So, ever-cunning Phil has sweet-talked his way into an early | 0:38:06 | 0:38:09 | |
lead, but David is not going down without a fight. Oh, no. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
He is headed to Kent and he is ready to turn the tables with his turntable. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
Right, well, I've come to see my friend Paul Rudd. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
Now, Paul is a music producer and he lives and breathes music. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:25 | |
So, of all the people I know, this thing should be right up his street. | 0:38:25 | 0:38:29 | |
The grafonola cost him £80, | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
but can spin doctor David groove off with a profit? | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
Now, you are big into music. You're passionate about music. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:37 | |
I am indeed. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
This is state-of-the-art, transportable music, | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
-circa 1920s, 1930s. -OK. -In remarkable condition. | 0:38:42 | 0:38:48 | |
-It's surprising, isn't it? -Yeah. Something like this, I'd expect it | 0:38:48 | 0:38:50 | |
-to be a lot bigger. -Yeah. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
And it carries just like a case. It is so beautifully made. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:57 | |
And very stylish and fashionable, from its day. | 0:38:57 | 0:39:01 | |
And just before we play that record, just feel that. | 0:39:01 | 0:39:05 | |
-Wow. -Doesn't that feel lovely? -Yeah. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:07 | |
You know, vinyl, everyone thought it had its day. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
And now, you've got really big-named artists pressing their albums | 0:39:09 | 0:39:13 | |
on vinyl again, which is fantastic. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
This is the Cumberland Gap. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:16 | |
-Let me play it to you. -Sounds like a sausage, but, you know... | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
-DAVID LAUGHS -It does, doesn't it? | 0:39:19 | 0:39:20 | |
-Are you ready? -Yeah. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
So, silence... | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
RECORD PLAYS AT DOUBLE SPEED | 0:39:25 | 0:39:29 | |
RECORD PLAYS AT NORMAL SPEED | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
I'm speechless. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
This definitely would create a talking point. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
I actually do have one but it's not quite the same. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:46 | |
-Do you know the term "put a sock in it"? -Yeah. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
-Do you know it comes from that? -Really? | 0:39:48 | 0:39:49 | |
The very early ones had no control on the sound. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
And if someone shouted, "Turn that music down!" | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
the only way they could do it was to put a sock in the horn. | 0:39:55 | 0:40:00 | |
-And muffle the sound. -I am surprised how loud that was. -Yeah. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
-And there's no control on this. -No. -It's all or nothing. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
But if you want to calm it down, you could pad it literally with | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
-socks, or a T-shirt, or something to calm it down. -Wow. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:13 | |
-The condition of it is brilliant. -It's actually remarkable. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
But I do actually like collecting old sort of music memorabilia | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |
things and something like this would just be great. | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
These discs are actually thrown in. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
David Harper's best hits? | 0:40:24 | 0:40:26 | |
Can I tempt you? | 0:40:26 | 0:40:28 | |
What would something like this sort of be worth? | 0:40:28 | 0:40:32 | |
If I said to you 160, I don't think you would go far wrong. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:36 | |
I'd be happy, I'll say, 130. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
I'll meet you at 145. | 0:40:39 | 0:40:41 | |
-140 and you've got a deal. -Good man. -Thank you very much. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
Thank you, Paul. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:46 | |
David is back in the race with that £60 profit | 0:40:46 | 0:40:49 | |
and that is music to his ears. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:51 | |
You know what? I'm doubly happy about that sale because that | 0:40:51 | 0:40:55 | |
grafonola really needed to go to a home | 0:40:55 | 0:40:57 | |
that's going to appreciate it. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
And, guess what, it's going to be used regularly. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:02 | |
And that is magnificent. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:05 | |
But Phil is still in the lead. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
And he's hoping his next sale will keep him on track. | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
When I bought these, I knew I had got to find a train buff | 0:41:11 | 0:41:15 | |
and here I have and here I am | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
at Norchard Station on the Dean Forest Railway. | 0:41:17 | 0:41:21 | |
The Fox is hoping train buff Chris will give him | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
a profitable return on his £10 stake, | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
but will need to steam in with a charming sales pitch. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
Now, you must be Chris. Good to see you, my friend. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
Let me just put it down. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
-Now, that engine looks absolutely fantastic. -Yeah. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
And it's just an age gone by, | 0:41:37 | 0:41:38 | |
there's no-one that can be failed to be captivated by that, is there? | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
-No, there's not. -Are you a volunteer here? | 0:41:41 | 0:41:43 | |
Yes, I'm a fireman here at the Dean Forest Railway. | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
-Fireman - they don't put out fires. -No. -Makes them. -Makes fires. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:48 | |
-Yeah, so you're the shoveller. -Yes. -That sounds like hard work to me. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
-It is hard work at times. -My interest in this, really, | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
is that as a child, I used to travel on a steam railway. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
It was fantastic, you know? | 0:41:57 | 0:41:58 | |
And that probably just shows how old I am, really. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
How exactly did you get involved? | 0:42:01 | 0:42:03 | |
My father is a railwayman, and his grandfather was a railwayman. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:07 | |
-So, steam just runs in the blood? -Yes. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
Well, I bought these in a car boot, I know nothing about them. | 0:42:10 | 0:42:13 | |
Go on, tell me what you think. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:14 | |
My guess is they might be ten years old. Is that a fair comment? | 0:42:14 | 0:42:17 | |
Yeah, that would be about right, I think. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:19 | |
And now, here's a loaded question, what would they have cost? | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
-£10, £15 each at the time. -Well, that's not too bad. | 0:42:22 | 0:42:25 | |
-I was kind of hoping I might get ten quid apiece for them. -Ahh... | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
I'd be thinking more 20, 25. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:30 | |
-£25 is your best offer? -Yes. | 0:42:30 | 0:42:33 | |
-I'm going to take that. There is a proviso. -And what's that? | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
-Can I have a go on the train? -You are more than welcome. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
Oh, come on, then! | 0:42:38 | 0:42:40 | |
Phil chugs further into the lead with that £15 profit | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
and transforms from antiques ace dealer | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
to locomotive fab controller. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:47 | |
Yeah, FAB controller. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
TRAIN WHISTLES | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
TRAIN WHISTLES | 0:42:54 | 0:42:56 | |
And, determined to continue on his route to victory, he sets sail for | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
Malvern, to show his vintage ship's compass to antiques dealer Jeremy... | 0:43:01 | 0:43:06 | |
Is 55 any use to you? | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
-£55? -Yeah. -I'm going to shake your hand, sir. Thank you very much. | 0:43:08 | 0:43:12 | |
..and he navigates his way to a £25 profit - | 0:43:12 | 0:43:16 | |
that's six items sold to David's three. | 0:43:16 | 0:43:18 | |
But the Devilish one is using his time wisely. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:22 | |
He wants to find out all he can about his silver pocket watch - | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
so he's brought it to London to show watch expert Johnny. | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
-Now, you must be Johnny. -Hi. How are you? | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
Now, you've been dealing in watches for how long? | 0:43:32 | 0:43:34 | |
-40 years now. -40 years? -Yeah. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:36 | |
Now, I bought this thing - I'd love your thoughts on it. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
The date letter's been scratched out | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
but there might be another mark on the inside... | 0:43:41 | 0:43:44 | |
-Yeah. It's Birmingham 1918... -Yeah. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:49 | |
Swiss, although the case is English. | 0:43:49 | 0:43:51 | |
I see, so it's a Swiss movement imported, then, isn't it? | 0:43:51 | 0:43:53 | |
-Yeah, Swiss-made... -Yeah. -15-jewel movement. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:57 | |
The actual case is nice, the dial's in nice condition, | 0:43:57 | 0:43:59 | |
it's got its original hands on it. | 0:43:59 | 0:44:01 | |
I'll tell you what's interesting with this watch - | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
the year it was made. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:04 | |
There must have been very few people buying watches at the end of the war. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:08 | |
The working man in the street could not afford to buy a pocket watch. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:11 | |
-They were a fortune, they were like, £50, £60, a year's salary. -Wow! | 0:44:11 | 0:44:15 | |
So probably an officer's watch. Fully restored... | 0:44:15 | 0:44:17 | |
I'd sell something like that for...£150. | 0:44:17 | 0:44:20 | |
Yeah. Yeah. | 0:44:20 | 0:44:22 | |
But it's going to cost me £150 to do up | 0:44:22 | 0:44:24 | |
-so it's not a watch... -No. -..you know, I'd want to buy. | 0:44:24 | 0:44:27 | |
I know lots of people would like to buy a watch like that, cos it's something from the past. | 0:44:27 | 0:44:31 | |
-Doesn't matter it's not working, it's just a piece of dress furniture. -Yeah, it is. | 0:44:31 | 0:44:35 | |
-I'd sell it for 50 or 60 quid. -50, 60 quid, you'd probably do fine. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
-They'll be happy and you'll be happy. -Absolutely. | 0:44:38 | 0:44:41 | |
Well, if I can find a buyer. But you're not the buyer. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
-I hope it didn't cost you a lot, did it? -30 quid. -30 quid, that's all right. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:46 | |
-For an amateur. -Oh, thank you very much(!) | 0:44:46 | 0:44:48 | |
Now, then, talking about non-amateurs and real professionals, show me something really meaty. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:53 | |
So what have we got, what are we looking at? | 0:44:54 | 0:44:56 | |
Before watches were being mass-produced, | 0:44:56 | 0:44:58 | |
time was told using a sundial. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:01 | |
My gosh. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:02 | |
And these were made really from 1600 up to around 1670. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:05 | |
-So that's a portable sundial? -Yeah. -My gosh! | 0:45:05 | 0:45:08 | |
So you point it in the direction where the sun is, | 0:45:08 | 0:45:11 | |
that you pick up a shadow... | 0:45:11 | 0:45:12 | |
And it would give you time within what - half an hour, an hour? | 0:45:12 | 0:45:15 | |
-Probably ten, 15 minutes. -As close as that? Really. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
The problem is you had to rely on having nice weather. | 0:45:18 | 0:45:21 | |
Yeah! | 0:45:21 | 0:45:22 | |
Value there, Johnny? | 0:45:22 | 0:45:24 | |
About 2,000, something like that. | 0:45:24 | 0:45:26 | |
-It doesn't sound a fortune. -No, not a fortune. It's not, no. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:30 | |
This is more me, I think, | 0:45:30 | 0:45:31 | |
that's a very, very stylish thing. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:34 | |
-Date-wise...? -Around 1660. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:37 | |
1660. So this is not long after the English Civil War. | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
So worth what? | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
-About £14,000. -14,000, yeah. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
-I mean, that's serious collecting territory. -Oh, absolutely, yeah. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:47 | |
This is 1680. Tortoiseshell, | 0:45:47 | 0:45:49 | |
With mother-of-pearl and silver inlay case. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:51 | |
Now, the condition of this is absolutely amazing. | 0:45:51 | 0:45:54 | |
-In working order? -In absolute working order. | 0:45:54 | 0:45:58 | |
-This is really, really a one-off. -That is astonishing. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:02 | |
Top end price...? | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
-Erm... About £40,000. -Yeah. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:06 | |
-OK, now this one... -This is the parasol watch. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
-Top of a parasol handle... -Yeah. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:11 | |
-Date-wise...? -1890 to 1910. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:14 | |
-You turn the top... -Looks like a kaleidoscope. That's gold, I assume? | 0:46:14 | 0:46:18 | |
That's 18-carat gold. I've never seen another one of that. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:20 | |
Asking 10,000, I'd be happy to get 9,000 for it. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:23 | |
These things were made to last for generations, | 0:46:23 | 0:46:27 | |
and here they are, proving that. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:46:27 | 0:46:30 | |
So, brimming with horological history, | 0:46:30 | 0:46:32 | |
has David found out enough to up his sales patter? | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
Time will tell. | 0:46:35 | 0:46:36 | |
Across town, Phil is also out on a fact-finding mission, | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
and wants to put the pedal to the metal with his earning potential. | 0:46:40 | 0:46:45 | |
He's roared to motor enthusiasts' hangout, Ace Cafe in London, | 0:46:45 | 0:46:48 | |
with his final item, the racing set. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:50 | |
He's meeting Scalextric enthusiast Roger, to give him a grilling. | 0:46:50 | 0:46:55 | |
Roger, how are you? Good to see you. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
Brings back so many memories to me, it really does. I just love these older cars here. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:01 | |
-They're lovely genuine old 1960s Vanwalls. -Fantastic. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:05 | |
When did these race sets first come out? | 0:47:05 | 0:47:08 | |
They first appeared at the Harrogate Toy Fair in 1958. | 0:47:08 | 0:47:12 | |
The original idea was a guy called Fred Francis, | 0:47:12 | 0:47:14 | |
who owned a company called Mini Models. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
Fred had this idea of motorising his tinplate cars, | 0:47:16 | 0:47:20 | |
and putting them on a circuit | 0:47:20 | 0:47:22 | |
so people could actually race them. | 0:47:22 | 0:47:25 | |
1958 was also an important year for racing. | 0:47:25 | 0:47:27 | |
Stirling Moss won four Grand Prix, and became a national hero. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:32 | |
Suddenly, little boys like Phil wanted to become race drivers. | 0:47:32 | 0:47:36 | |
So, Scalextric became an overnight hit. | 0:47:36 | 0:47:39 | |
The original kit cost £5, 17 shillings and sixpence, | 0:47:39 | 0:47:42 | |
the equivalent of £126 in today's money. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:46 | |
How many cars have you got? | 0:47:46 | 0:47:48 | |
Er... In excess of 1,000. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:52 | |
From very early tinplate, the early stuff, | 0:47:52 | 0:47:54 | |
right the way through to something that's been made this year. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:58 | |
Which cars are the most valuable things you could buy? | 0:47:58 | 0:48:01 | |
A Type 59 Bugatti. Absolutely the Holy Grail for any collector. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:05 | |
You can spend £4,000 to £5,000 on each car. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
-5,000? -Yeah. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:10 | |
-Got something that might just interest you over here. -OK... | 0:48:10 | 0:48:12 | |
Now... | 0:48:12 | 0:48:14 | |
Wow. | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
-Is that a good "wow"? -No. -What do you mean, "no"?! | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 | |
It's a starter set for youngsters. | 0:48:19 | 0:48:21 | |
Youngsters. | 0:48:21 | 0:48:22 | |
These are what they call a generic car. | 0:48:22 | 0:48:24 | |
Which looks a little bit like a GT car. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
It's done, I would imagine so there are no licensing fees involved, | 0:48:27 | 0:48:30 | |
so they can keep the cost down to get an entry-level racer. | 0:48:30 | 0:48:34 | |
How old is this for a start, then? | 0:48:34 | 0:48:36 | |
2012, 2013 - without double-checking, | 0:48:36 | 0:48:39 | |
but it's around that area. | 0:48:39 | 0:48:41 | |
You'll get £20, £25 for that, no problem. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:43 | |
In terms of collectability... this hasn't got much at the minute. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:46 | |
Not at this time, no. | 0:48:46 | 0:48:48 | |
To the true collector, it has to have never seen a track, | 0:48:48 | 0:48:52 | |
maybe been out of the box but never been used. | 0:48:52 | 0:48:54 | |
So help - what do I do? | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
If you can find somebody that's, er... | 0:48:56 | 0:48:59 | |
somebody with young children, | 0:48:59 | 0:49:01 | |
who might want to get their children an interest in a hands-on hobby - | 0:49:01 | 0:49:05 | |
-try and place it with somebody like that. -OK. | 0:49:05 | 0:49:07 | |
You've been a star, mate. Thank you. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:09 | |
Happy in the knowledge his set is worth more than the £8 he paid for it, | 0:49:09 | 0:49:12 | |
Phil can devote a little time to perfecting his lap of honour. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:16 | |
Meanwhile, David is ready to convert HIS research into cash. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:24 | |
Armed to the Roman numerals with fascinating facts about his watch, | 0:49:24 | 0:49:27 | |
he's brought his £30 timepiece to fashionable Savile Row - | 0:49:27 | 0:49:31 | |
but will tailor William Hunt think his pocket watch is the next best thing? | 0:49:31 | 0:49:34 | |
-Now, you've got to be William Hunt. -I am. | 0:49:34 | 0:49:36 | |
-William, very nice to meet you. -Very good to meet you. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:39 | |
I see you're just dressing up a suit here. | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
-Nice to see the chain. -Yeah. -What's all this about? | 0:49:41 | 0:49:45 | |
It started out as a piece of jewellery, we brought the chains in | 0:49:45 | 0:49:47 | |
-first, and the guys wanted the watches to go with it. -Right. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:50 | |
So we brought them in, and it adorns the suit beautifully. | 0:49:50 | 0:49:52 | |
Is this a bit of a modern phenomenon then, William, | 0:49:52 | 0:49:54 | |
the pocket watch is becoming quite fashionable now? | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
-20 years ago, the dads and grandads probably would have worn them. -Yeah. | 0:49:56 | 0:50:00 | |
-So therefore you probably wouldn't. -Exactly. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:03 | |
-But that sort of period's gone... -Yeah. -..and it's become very fashionable. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:06 | |
-And it's quite a cool thing, actually, isn't it, to just... -I think it IS a cool thing. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:10 | |
The fashion of this sort of sparked off an interest in these things, | 0:50:10 | 0:50:13 | |
and as I say, these are sort of jewellery pieces, and I'd like something a bit more... | 0:50:13 | 0:50:17 | |
Something with a bit more pedigree? | 0:50:17 | 0:50:18 | |
-Well, yeah. -As opposed to a brand-new one. -Something that's been around a bit. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:21 | |
OK. I can give you something with pedigree. Does it matter if it works? | 0:50:21 | 0:50:24 | |
Would be nice. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:26 | |
Right! That's a bit of a problem, then. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:27 | |
-Isn't it lovely? -Oh, it's got some weight. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:30 | |
It's solid silver, made in 1918 | 0:50:30 | 0:50:32 | |
at the end of the period where pocket watches | 0:50:32 | 0:50:35 | |
were made in big numbers. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:37 | |
This is where the wristwatch starts to become more popular. | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
-How did that happen? -Well, I shall show you. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:42 | |
Look, if I can use your mannequin as an example. There's your chain... | 0:50:42 | 0:50:47 | |
Let me fit my watch... | 0:50:47 | 0:50:48 | |
..so there we have it... in his pocket. | 0:50:51 | 0:50:54 | |
As we know, he tells the time - if he drops his watch, | 0:50:54 | 0:50:56 | |
it's safely attached to his chain. | 0:50:56 | 0:50:59 | |
But now, transport yourself to the First World War, and the trenches. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:03 | |
You catch your chain - | 0:51:03 | 0:51:05 | |
you lose you watch. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:06 | |
-Ah. Well - and possibly more, if you get snagged up. -Well, exactly. | 0:51:06 | 0:51:11 | |
So the Army officers came up with this idea. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:14 | |
They took their pocket watches off the chain, | 0:51:14 | 0:51:16 | |
they gave the watches to the blacksmiths, | 0:51:16 | 0:51:19 | |
and they got them to weld on lugs to the side of the pocket watch... | 0:51:19 | 0:51:22 | |
And then straps. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:23 | |
And straps, and then strap it to their wrist, nice and tight and safe... | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
-And that's where the wristwatch came from. -That's where it came from. | 0:51:26 | 0:51:29 | |
And suddenly it started to become fashionable. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:32 | |
There ended the big fashion for the pocket watch. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
And here it comes again! | 0:51:35 | 0:51:36 | |
Well, as you know, everything in fashion goes in cycles. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
-But this watch is fascinating. -It's a cool watch. -1918... | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
It's a connection to the past, and if that could tell a story, | 0:51:42 | 0:51:44 | |
by gosh, could it tell one. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:46 | |
The war ended in '18, it was made in '18 - it could have been there. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:50 | |
So what are we talking? | 0:51:50 | 0:51:52 | |
80 quid? | 0:51:52 | 0:51:53 | |
I've got to haggle. | 0:51:54 | 0:51:56 | |
-I think 50's about right. -I'll do 70. | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
-Let's do what gentlemen do and meet in the middle. -60 quid, it's a pleasure. | 0:51:58 | 0:52:01 | |
David's doubled his money, making £30 profit, and he's delighted. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:06 | |
Doesn't get much better than that. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
Back in Malvern, Phil is hoping to get into | 0:52:09 | 0:52:12 | |
pole position with his final sale, the racing set. | 0:52:12 | 0:52:15 | |
He found out it wasn't a collector's item | 0:52:15 | 0:52:17 | |
and would be best sold as a starter kit, | 0:52:17 | 0:52:20 | |
so he's taking it to show dealer friend Lee | 0:52:20 | 0:52:23 | |
and his nine-year-old son AJ. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:25 | |
So you're not a train man, you're a car man. | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
-Car man. -That's the good stuff. | 0:52:28 | 0:52:29 | |
Now, I bought this at a car boot, | 0:52:29 | 0:52:33 | |
and I'll you what it cost me, it was £8, | 0:52:33 | 0:52:34 | |
and I've paid a pound and I've had it PAT tested. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:38 | |
-There are the cars. What do you think of those? -Cool. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:40 | |
Wow. They look good, don't they? Very sporty. | 0:52:40 | 0:52:44 | |
Go on, then. You're the man. | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
So far, so good. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:47 | |
AJ might think it looks cool, | 0:52:47 | 0:52:49 | |
but as everyone knows when buying | 0:52:49 | 0:52:51 | |
your first car, you really ought to take it out for a test drive. | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
Does he let you win? | 0:52:56 | 0:52:58 | |
-Erm, not always. -Not always?! -LEE LAUGHS | 0:52:58 | 0:53:00 | |
-What do you reckon, AJ? -Good. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:03 | |
-Do you like it? -Yeah. -We'll have some fun with this, won't we? -Yep. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:07 | |
As long as he lets his dad win on the odd occasion. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
And it will get him away from his video game... | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
What do you think it's worth? | 0:53:13 | 0:53:14 | |
It's probably worth...as much as AJ's got in his pocket. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:19 | |
Or in his piggy bank. What do you reckon? | 0:53:19 | 0:53:21 | |
-Oh, he's got to pay for it? -Oh, absolutely. | 0:53:21 | 0:53:24 | |
If I ask you £19, is that going to be fair? | 0:53:24 | 0:53:27 | |
-I think that's fair. Don't you? -Yeah. | 0:53:27 | 0:53:29 | |
I'm going to shake your hand, AJ. You're a gentleman. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:32 | |
-And, Lee, thank you very much. Cos I've got a sneaky feeling you might be paying for this. -I am. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:36 | |
Well, at least Phil kept on track. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:38 | |
He's £10 up, and is first past the chequered flag. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:41 | |
But, has he hung on to his lead in terms of profit? | 0:53:41 | 0:53:45 | |
Now - with just his two quid Elvis onesie left to sell, | 0:53:45 | 0:53:48 | |
it's up to David to get this competition all shook up. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:52 | |
He's back in London searching for the perfect buyer - | 0:53:52 | 0:53:55 | |
and my goodness me, this chap looks familiar. | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
-Now, you've got to be Jim. -David, hi. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:00 | |
Now, how did I pick you out of a busy cafe like this? | 0:54:00 | 0:54:03 | |
It's the shirt, isn't it? Yeah. | 0:54:03 | 0:54:04 | |
But there is a remarkable resemblance. | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
So how long have you been an Elvis impersonator? | 0:54:07 | 0:54:09 | |
Discovered Elvis when I was a little kid, first music I ever heard, | 0:54:09 | 0:54:12 | |
and when I came out of school, didn't know what to do with myself, | 0:54:12 | 0:54:14 | |
-I just thought, "Why not do Elvis?" -Right. | 0:54:14 | 0:54:17 | |
So, I'm still doing it now, 13 years later. | 0:54:17 | 0:54:19 | |
What kind of value would an original jumpsuit have? | 0:54:19 | 0:54:23 | |
-Anywhere between £50, maybe even up to £150,000. -Really? | 0:54:23 | 0:54:27 | |
-So you know your stuff, then, when it comes to jumpsuits. -I do, I do. | 0:54:27 | 0:54:31 | |
-I want a competition here. Your jumpsuit, versus my jumpsuit. -Cool. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:37 | |
And it's time to say goodbye to Jim, because tonight, viewers, | 0:54:37 | 0:54:40 | |
he's going to be Elvis. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:43 | |
-AS ELVIS: -Hello, there. Sir, you wanted to speak to me? | 0:54:43 | 0:54:46 | |
Wow. That is one cracking jumpsuit, I've got to say. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:51 | |
-Thank you very much. Thank you. -Please sit down, please sit down. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:54 | |
Is it worth a lot of money? | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
Yeah, I'd say it's about...3,500. | 0:54:56 | 0:54:59 | |
-Really? -Yeah. | 0:54:59 | 0:55:00 | |
OK - close your eyes. I'm going to roll the baby out. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:04 | |
Feast your eyes...on that! | 0:55:04 | 0:55:07 | |
-Wow. -Wow. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:10 | |
You know, I wear this on stage, | 0:55:10 | 0:55:11 | |
but I don't have anything to wear in bed. | 0:55:11 | 0:55:13 | |
So, a bed suit. Now you're talking. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:17 | |
I like it for what it is. I can see it, | 0:55:17 | 0:55:19 | |
-I can see the vision. -OK. | 0:55:19 | 0:55:20 | |
Are you happy to give me £4 to take this baby away? | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
-Yeah. Let's do that. -Done deal. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:27 | |
Thank you. Thank you very much. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:29 | |
Well, David avoided heartbreak hotel, | 0:55:29 | 0:55:32 | |
making a final profit of £2. | 0:55:32 | 0:55:34 | |
AS ELVIS: That's all right. | 0:55:34 | 0:55:36 | |
Well, that is it, I am all sold up - | 0:55:36 | 0:55:39 | |
and what a way to end, my final object sold...to the King, baby! | 0:55:39 | 0:55:45 | |
You old hound dog. | 0:55:45 | 0:55:46 | |
Remember, Phil was in the lead at the halfway point, | 0:55:46 | 0:55:49 | |
but has David overtaken? | 0:55:49 | 0:55:50 | |
Before we reveal the winner, | 0:55:50 | 0:55:53 | |
let's have a quick reminder of how much they spent at the car boot. | 0:55:53 | 0:55:56 | |
From their £250 budget, | 0:55:56 | 0:55:58 | |
David bought five items, costing £137. | 0:55:58 | 0:56:03 | |
Phil made seven purchases and spent a total of £115, | 0:56:03 | 0:56:07 | |
including PAT testing - but who has made the most profit? | 0:56:07 | 0:56:12 | |

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:23 | |
-David, how are you? -This reminds me of the car boot. | 0:56:23 | 0:56:25 | |
-Well, it's not quite as misty. -Well, it's wet, isn't it? | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
-Tell me - that Elvis thingy... -Oh, the onesie. | 0:56:28 | 0:56:31 | |
You loved that, didn't you? Tell the truth. | 0:56:31 | 0:56:33 | |
No. It was absolutely dreadful. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:35 | |
-I got two quid profit. But I sold it to the King! -Really? | 0:56:35 | 0:56:39 | |
-I thought he was dead. -He's alive and kicking. -Uh-huh. -Yeah, huh! | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |
And what about that music thingamajig job? | 0:56:42 | 0:56:45 | |
I sold it to a music producer, a friend of mine. | 0:56:45 | 0:56:47 | |
-Big profits? -Good profit. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:49 | |
Let's get back to you. We're car men... | 0:56:49 | 0:56:51 | |
I love me car set, but I think I've turned. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:54 | |
-It's time to come out, really, for me. -Oh. Well, please... | 0:56:54 | 0:56:58 | |
I've always been a car man, | 0:56:58 | 0:57:00 | |
but now... | 0:57:00 | 0:57:02 | |
I'm into trains as well, I like 'em. | 0:57:02 | 0:57:03 | |
Oh, I'm sorry! | 0:57:03 | 0:57:05 | |
I am really sorry. No, no, I was thinking something else. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:08 | |
-Come on, let's do this. -Profit-wise, have we made lots of money? | 0:57:09 | 0:57:12 | |
-I doubt it. One... -Two... -Three. | 0:57:12 | 0:57:15 | |
Whoa! | 0:57:15 | 0:57:17 | |
Oh! You've got me, you double rat. | 0:57:17 | 0:57:19 | |
-How has that happened? -I have no idea. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:22 | |
-Tell me about trains, then. -So what you do is you get on there, | 0:57:22 | 0:57:25 | |
and you get coal and you just keep chucking it in... | 0:57:25 | 0:57:28 | |
Yes, Phil "The Fox" Serrell is today's winner, | 0:57:29 | 0:57:32 | |
and it was the trophy that sealed his victory. | 0:57:32 | 0:57:35 | |
Well, what a double surprise that was - | 0:57:35 | 0:57:38 | |
because I won by £20, and I don't know how on earth I did that | 0:57:38 | 0:57:42 | |
cos I really thought David would win. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:44 | |
And...I've turned - | 0:57:44 | 0:57:46 | |
from cars to trains! | 0:57:46 | 0:57:49 | |
He's pipped me by about £24, which doesn't sound much | 0:57:49 | 0:57:54 | |
but in the world of car boot, that's a lot of money, | 0:57:54 | 0:57:57 | |
even though I bought some cracking items. | 0:57:57 | 0:57:59 | |
The Elvis onesie - how COULD I have lost?! | 0:57:59 | 0:58:03 | |
Between them they've made over £246, | 0:58:03 | 0:58:05 | |
and every penny of that will go to good causes. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:09 | |
My charity is the Friends of the Darlington Memorial Hospital, | 0:58:09 | 0:58:13 | |
who help and support patients and the hospital itself. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:17 | |
My charity is ABC, Anorexia & Bulimia Care, | 0:58:17 | 0:58:21 | |
which offers support for people with eating disorders. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:24 | |
Our amazing experts have really put their money where their mouths are, | 0:58:25 | 0:58:29 | |
and shown they can make a profit from buying and selling antiques, | 0:58:29 | 0:58:33 | |
when their own money is on the line. | 0:58:33 | 0:58:34 |
