0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, the show that pitches
0:00:04 > 0:00:07TV's best-loved antiques experts against each other
0:00:07 > 0:00:10in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Let's make hay while that sun shines.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Each week, one pair of duelling dealers will face
0:00:14 > 0:00:17a different daily challenge.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18I've got a heavy profit here.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Putting their reputations on the line...
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Who's there?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26They'll give you the insider's view of the trade...
0:00:27 > 0:00:30..along with top tips and savvy secrets...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32That could present a problem, I think.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..showing you how to make the most money...
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Ready for battle!
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..from buying and selling.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Get in there!
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Coming up, James reveals that you need to look to the past if you want
0:00:45 > 0:00:47up-to-the minute interiors...
0:00:47 > 0:00:52This has survived since the early 1960s and I think this is sort of
0:00:52 > 0:00:53bang-on trend.
0:00:53 > 0:00:58..Butterfingers Bliss shows how not to handle antiques...
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Ooh!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Oh, I'm so sorry.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04..and James cues up to pot a profit.
0:01:04 > 0:01:05On the count of three.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07Three, two, one...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30Today, we're at Hemswell car boot in Lincolnshire,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34where our treasure trackers are up bright and early in a bid to uncover
0:01:34 > 0:01:36some serious boot-sale spoils
0:01:36 > 0:01:39and brush the dust off the best bargains.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43First up, it's the Indiana Jane of today's antiques dig.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46She is armed to the teeth with expert knowledge
0:01:46 > 0:01:47and she won't rest until
0:01:47 > 0:01:51the rarest relics are nestled safely in her satchel.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54It's Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I think it's time to go up a gear and get this in the bag.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Her rival is a veteran raider of the lost artefacts,
0:02:01 > 0:02:05whose enviable experience keeps his eye on the prize and his mind on
0:02:05 > 0:02:09the profits. He wants the best idols and won't stop until he's got them.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12It's James "Bingo" Braxton.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16I think I'm going to beat that Bliss.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19They've each got £250 of their own money to spend
0:02:19 > 0:02:24and all the profits go to their chosen charities, so here we go -
0:02:24 > 0:02:26James Braxton and Kate Bliss,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32- Hello, Kate.- Hi! Well, this is exciting, isn't it?
0:02:32 > 0:02:33It all happens up north.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36It does. Well, Lincolnshire, 800 stalls.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- That's a lot, isn't it? - 800 stalls. And £250 to spend.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Yeah. So, what's your strategy, then?
0:02:42 > 0:02:44I'll buy quickly - small, portable things, I think.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- OK.- Cheap.- You're not going for the big furniture this time?
0:02:48 > 0:02:49- No, no.- OK.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Too much work. Never buy work, Kate.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54What about you? Small and precious?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Well, actually, maybe not small and precious, unless it leaps out at me,
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- of course.- Are you giving me some kind of code, Kate?
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- What's going on? - But I think I'm going to go for something a bit wacky.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06- Wacky?- Yeah.- OK.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08What, plastic, '50s?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10No, a bit wackier than that.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- Good luck.- Best of luck, best of luck.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17It's set to be a painstaking and precise hunt for heirlooms.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Kate has had a quick scoot around the outdoor and indoor stalls
0:03:20 > 0:03:22and has formulated her plan.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28They look like quite established stalls inside, whereas outside here,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30all the action's happening.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Car boots are arriving all the time and I think this is where
0:03:33 > 0:03:36the fresh-to-the-market stuff that I want is.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41So, outdoorsy Kate is resolutely sticking to the antiques-rich atmosphere
0:03:41 > 0:03:43of the exterior stalls.
0:03:43 > 0:03:44And what about James?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Does he think he's forged a winning system?
0:03:47 > 0:03:52My tactic today is just to engage the stallholder, draw them out,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55see what sort of goodies they've got
0:03:55 > 0:03:58lying on their little blue tarpaulins.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01So, Bingo's on the charm offensive, is he?
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Well, we all know flowers are a good start.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Look at this! What are these? Sunflowers?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, I hope so, yeah.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Nice bit of oak, isn't it?
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Is this your own work, madam?
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- No, it isn't.- It isn't?- No.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17There it is, the old Braxton charisma in full effect.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20And it seems to be working.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Yeah, I think it's rather attractive.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24You've got the taste. I like it.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28- How much have you got on it? - Well, I'd probably ask about 14.
0:04:28 > 0:04:3014? Really?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31I think it's really nice.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33They're not real flowers, Bingo!
0:04:33 > 0:04:35How about a tenner, madam?
0:04:35 > 0:04:36- Yeah, go on. Seeing as it's you. - Go on!
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oh, you lovely lady!
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- OK, cheers.- You lovely lady!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42He parts with £10 for the painting
0:04:42 > 0:04:44and Bingo the Bewitcher made that look easy.
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Well, it's nice to find an antique at a car boot.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50And this certainly fulfils it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54It's a nice fielded panel, painted on oak.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55When was it painted?
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Well, it has a really Edwardian feel.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59These lovely flowers there.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01I need to sell it to a great gardener.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Yes, jubilant James thinks he can smell a profit in his first purchase.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08What a positive start to the day.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Across the market, Kate is also having a smashing time.
0:05:13 > 0:05:18Look at this - this is a copy of a Faberge egg.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21What a shame it's not the real one.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Ooh! I'm so sorry!
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Thank goodness it's not a real one, Kate!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27Am I banned? Nothing broken!
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Better move on quick, Kate, before you get chucked out.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31On a nearby stall,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34a pair of knightly bottle toppers has caught her eye
0:05:34 > 0:05:37and she sets out on a crusade to rescue them.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40- How much are these?- You can have them for a tenner.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Let's have a little look. I thought I saw a bit of damage on there,
0:05:43 > 0:05:45but I'm just going to check that out.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Yeah.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Will you do a fiver, just because there's a bit of a nick on the top?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Yeah, I'll take a fiver.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Done.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- Thank you.- Good luck with them. - Thank you.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Kate slashes the price in half,
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and without even clashing swords with the vendor.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14But before the money's out of her pocket, she spots something else.
0:06:14 > 0:06:19- Isn't that fun?- I think it's to do with the Teddy Bear Club.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24It says silver.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30A little club medallion or something?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33- Never seen one of those before. - I haven't.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I'll give you a tenner for the two.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38Yes? Great.
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Two buys in one.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Indeed, and with that,
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Miss Bliss has leapt in front of her rival and leads two items to one.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I think I have got a bargain here.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52The first thing, a pair of bottle pourers, so they act like stoppers,
0:06:52 > 0:06:56but you flip up the novelty visors on these helmets
0:06:56 > 0:06:59and you can actually pour through them.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03They're not very old, but I think they're great fun.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Silver plate, and there's got to be a profit there.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09But the second thing is really interesting.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Now, I've never seen one of these before.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13It is a little lapel fob.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15And on the medallion here it says,
0:07:15 > 0:07:19"The Most Cheerful Order of Merrythoughts."
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Now, Merrythought was a company producing soft toys from the 1930s.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I think this is great fun.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28It's probably silver, and the little wishbone
0:07:28 > 0:07:31on the end here is going to be my good-luck charm.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yes, and you may need that luck,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36as James has only gone and found a...
0:07:36 > 0:07:38let's say a vintage chair?
0:07:39 > 0:07:41It's got a really good look, hasn't it?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45And Bingo knows the best way to secure a seat is to sit on it.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48This has a good house-clearance feel about it.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It is house-clearance stuff.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53How much is that... How much is this chair?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56- 35.- Oh, it goes back, as well, look.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So it has two settings.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Do you know, I'm getting quite excited about this chair now,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05because not only does it fold, but it also has two settings.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06I've just found it out.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Madam! Come over here, tell me about this folding chair.
0:08:11 > 0:08:12Good look, isn't it?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Yeah.- It's survived, as well. - Well, yeah. Yeah, it's a good chair.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18The thing is, well,
0:08:18 > 0:08:21it's still got its plastic.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Yeah, a bit grubby, but apart from that, it is all right, isn't it?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Yeah, clean up good, scrub up lovely.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And would you take 30 for it?
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- I will take 30. - You've got 30, madam.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34These are the antiques of the future.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Well, they're the antiques of now, madam, aren't they, now?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38- Absolutely, sir.- Blimey.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42Yeah, blimey indeed. So much for only buying small items!
0:08:42 > 0:08:48Bingo's, um, "antique" chair is his for £30 and, as with so many things
0:08:48 > 0:08:52from the '60s, it's really set off his imagination.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Do you know, this has got...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56It's very Bond-like, this.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58This is early '60s, isn't it?
0:08:58 > 0:09:02It has that sort of Dr No, Goldfinger look about it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04It's painted gold, the frame is all gold,
0:09:04 > 0:09:08and it's got this rather fun sort of plastic.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Very simple way of upholstering a chair.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14It is just a cord that is wrapped
0:09:14 > 0:09:17round and round and round and the gold
0:09:17 > 0:09:20and the light blue looks really good, it looks really sunny,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25it looks very sort of American and it's just a really clever design.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Look, I just fold it up like that, I just put it down, shake it,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and there we are! Go on, Dad, you sit down.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35And, oh! It's in the reclining mode.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38So you just bring these two things up here, just bring it around,
0:09:38 > 0:09:41slap them down and then you're sitting up.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43What a lovely piece.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48This has survived since the early 1960s and I think this is sort of
0:09:48 > 0:09:49bang on trend.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53This is retro, vintage, it's folding, and I'm off.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I'm going to go and enjoy the sun.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Yeah, watch you don't trap your Goldfinger in there.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00The man with the Midas touch
0:10:00 > 0:10:02is jolly excited about his retro recliner,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and he's not the only one in a tizzy, because Miss Bliss,
0:10:06 > 0:10:11as predicted by James, has found a stall full of bling and is besotted.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Look at that. Cor, look at that!
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Oh, you've got earrings to match. Ooh!
0:10:18 > 0:10:20I quite fancy these.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I love the colours in that.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24There's not a lot she doesn't like here.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Our treasure hunter has struck gold.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28So what could you do if I took...
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I can't decide whether that one or that one.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32A fiver for the two.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Fiver for the two?- Yeah.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36That's nice.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39OK. Fiver for the two?
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- Yeah.- Done. Thank you very much. Lovely.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Kate has somehow restrained herself from emptying the whole stall,
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and nabbed two necklaces for a bargain £5.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Now, these two bits of costume jewellery certainly
0:10:53 > 0:10:54don't have much age about them,
0:10:54 > 0:10:56but they've got a lovely look about them,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and the reason I bought them is, this one particularly
0:10:59 > 0:11:01is a little bit in the style
0:11:01 > 0:11:03of an American costume jewellery designer
0:11:03 > 0:11:08who was working in the 1920s right through to the '60s - Miriam Haskell.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Now, Haskell pieces are highly desirable,
0:11:11 > 0:11:13so I've bought these as a bit of fun.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17So, Miss Bliss has made a light-hearted purchase,
0:11:17 > 0:11:20but what about veteran deal-doer James Braxton?
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Well, he got his pincers into this little pot, and he didn't let go.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26But what is it?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28So, this is a salt shaker.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Often single hole for salt, you can regulate.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33Salt's not so good for you, so you don't want too much.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37If you have lots of holes, it's generally for dusting sugar
0:11:37 > 0:11:38over strawberries or whatever.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41What attracted me to it is, one, the feel of it -
0:11:41 > 0:11:44it's got this fabulous eggshell glaze.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46And it's got a great motif.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50But I love the lobster. Look at that, nice, red lobster.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52We've got the lobster pot, we've got stylised fish.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Sort of era, '60s, '70s.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56It's got a great retro look,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00and a retro fish-and-chip shop would absolutely love this.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02And it was mine for a tenner.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06And with that, our dealers are neck and neck with three buys apiece.
0:12:06 > 0:12:07We're at the halfway mark,
0:12:07 > 0:12:11so let's see who is leading and who is floundering.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Both our dealers arrived with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19James had spent £50 so far, leaving £200 in his kitty.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24Kate, however, has spent considerably less - just £15 -
0:12:24 > 0:12:30leaving her with a much larger £235 for the rest of the day.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33Hey. You found the sausages!
0:12:33 > 0:12:38Yeah. I've had such a good morning, I've been strolling around.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40- Really?- And I'm just restoring the minerals now.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- Are you?- Yeah. Have you been inside?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Yeah, I've been inside all the time, actually.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Some great stuff in there. Definitely worth a look.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- You're giving me a bum steer, aren't you?- Am I?- Are you?
0:12:50 > 0:12:52JAMES LAUGHS
0:12:52 > 0:12:56I stayed in the sunshine and I managed to find bits and bobs.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Yeah?- No other clues, though, Kate. - OK.- No other clues.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00All right. Well, I'm off for one of those.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Well, good luck.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Well, what a shocker.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Sneaky old Kate's trying to send her rival on a wild goose chase indoors,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12while James is playing secret squirrels over his stash.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Mind games are rife today.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Poor old Kate.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20There's still the same smile, but there's real panic in the eyes.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Anyway, I am having a lovely time in the sunshine
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and that's where I'm going to stay.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Now, it's quite late morning now
0:13:26 > 0:13:29and things are definitely getting harder to find.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31I think I need to get a shift on.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33That's the spirit.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Kate is planning to speed up in order to buy up.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39But before she has time to put her foot down,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41James has dug up a bit of old iron
0:13:41 > 0:13:44he hopes he can polish into a precious profit.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Now, I've just bought this from a stall.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49I'm rather pleased with this. I bought it only for £15.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Orme & Sons. Now, the clue is in the name.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Manchester. It's incredibly heavy.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56It's like an iron, a flat iron.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01And I know this is for smoothing the baize of a billiard table.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03We've got the smooth side there,
0:14:03 > 0:14:05so after you set up your billiard table,
0:14:05 > 0:14:09you'd smooth it out, tighten it all up, fabulous.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12That is a lovely item, for only £15.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14This weighs almost the same as me.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's quite a specialist item.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'm going to have to find a sort of billiards club
0:14:18 > 0:14:21or a mad billiards player who will love this.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Really lovely item.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26An item from a bygone era.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28# Any old iron, any old iron
0:14:28 > 0:14:30# Any, any, any old iron... #
0:14:30 > 0:14:33And while Bingo wanders off to do the ironing,
0:14:33 > 0:14:37Kate has buckled up and belted over to, well, a belt buckle stall.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Can I have a look at this buckle, please?
0:14:40 > 0:14:41Course you can.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44There you go.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- 29.- Oh!
0:14:46 > 0:14:48Really?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Really?- It's nice, cos under the enamel, as well,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53you've got the rose, you've got the lovely pattern.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55- Yeah, it is nice. - The pin's hallmarked, as well.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- Yep.- It's nice.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59It's not loose, is it? It's quite...
0:14:59 > 0:15:02No, you're right. It is really nice quality.
0:15:02 > 0:15:03I can do 28.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Go on, then. Thank you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:13That's Kate's biggest spend so far, and she's enamoured.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Now, there are quite a lot of people out there who collect buckles,
0:15:16 > 0:15:18and this is a really nice example.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22I can tell you the date exactly because it's made of silver
0:15:22 > 0:15:25and it's hallmarked just on the back here for 1911.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29But the best thing about it is the enamel work,
0:15:29 > 0:15:33and this is where the silver has been engraved in a beautiful little
0:15:33 > 0:15:36pattern of roses, and then the liquid coloured enamel,
0:15:36 > 0:15:39or liquid glass, has been laid over the top,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41and it's in really good condition.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43And that's key when you're buying enamelled items.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46If there is any damage, then the price plummets.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48This one's perfect.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Bingo has now finished his ironing and is looking for his next chore.
0:15:53 > 0:15:57Our domestic goddess has settled on the idea of baking.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00How much for a load of stuff like that, then, Janet?
0:16:01 > 0:16:0325 for the lot.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- For the lot? - Yeah, for the whole lot.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07There's some Forster's pieces in there.
0:16:12 > 0:16:13Cos we're all baking mad now.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's gone crazy, honestly.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- There's tonnes of it. - How does that go, then?
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yes, he's no Paul Hollywood and that's for sure.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24Erm... Don't ask!
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Can I make you a bid for that cookware?
0:16:29 > 0:16:33- You can. A sensible bid. - A sensible bid? How does 15 sound?
0:16:33 > 0:16:3515? 18 and they're yours.
0:16:35 > 0:16:3718 and they're mine?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Really? All that baking.
0:16:39 > 0:16:4018 quid and that lot's yours.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Do you think, you know, with that, I could sort of get into Bake Off,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- couldn't I? Carry the box... - Yeah, take it there.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49Take it there.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'll assault them with me rock cakes, shall I?
0:16:52 > 0:16:5418. There you are.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- That's for you, Janet. - Thank you.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Goodness me - Mary Berry won't know what's hit her.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Do you know what? Tins are close to the nation's heart.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05And here's this lovely heart-shaped tin.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08You'd get a little sponge shooting out of this.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Everything raises in a tin like this.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Made in the 1940s.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15And then you come over to a later tin here,
0:17:15 > 0:17:17and this is sort of slightly mechanical.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19So if you've got a sticky bottom,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22that you just rush this round here and then out it comes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26You know, I never knew I was into baking until I found this box.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32£18 of tins, and this is my route to fame and fortune.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34So, with five items rising in his proving drawer,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37James calls it a day.
0:17:37 > 0:17:38But, across the market,
0:17:38 > 0:17:42Kate hasn't forgotten she's on a quest for something quirky.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- How much is your trumpet?- 35.- 35.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51- Is it all working?- Yeah. - It looks like it's all working.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55I don't want to pay 35, what could you do?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58I think the lowest I could go to is 25.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59Ooh.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03I was hoping for about 15.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- No, sorry.- No?
0:18:06 > 0:18:09This vendor isn't dancing to Kate's tune yet.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Time to blow a bit harder.
0:18:12 > 0:18:1420 quid, final offer.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15- 23.- 23?
0:18:17 > 0:18:18No.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20I'm thinking 20, will you do 20?
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Mm...- I think that's a fair price, if you're happy with that.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29- OK, yeah.- Yeah?
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Brilliant, thank you.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33And she's done it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Band leader Bliss trumpety-trumped her way to a £20 deal.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Now, this is what you call the punt of the day.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43I am not a trumpeter, but I can tell you it hasn't got a name,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45and I know the better-made ones
0:18:45 > 0:18:48certainly would have a good retailer or maker's mark on it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52It has got its case, though, and looks to be in working order.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53So this is a bit of a gamble,
0:18:53 > 0:18:56but let's hope, when it comes to selling,
0:18:56 > 0:18:57I hit the high note.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Well, with Kate off to blow her own trumpet,
0:18:59 > 0:19:01and the stalls starting to pack up,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04our national treasures have completed their search.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07But before they reveal their discoveries to each other,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09it's time to tot up the totals.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15They both started the day with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18James is hoping he's seen off the competition with his five purchases,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21costing £83.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26But Kate thinks she's dug deeper with her five items that cost £63.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Of course, all that matters now is profit.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32Our deal-doing duo have spent their dosh,
0:19:32 > 0:19:35and now it's time to compare their wares.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Now, you look far too relaxed, waltzing around there.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40And now I can see why.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Now I've seen all your lovely things.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44I know, they're very bizarre, aren't they?
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Well, do you know, I can see you doing many things, James,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49but baking isn't one of them.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, I'm a polymath, Kate, as you know.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53- We all have to bake now.- Yep.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Have to raise something, don't you?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58And what about you? What are these carbuncles over here?
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Yeah, you like these?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Do you know, these really shouted at me.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05The lady had a load of costume jewellery and these just leaped out at me.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06This one particularly.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08I thought it was quite Miriam Haskell,
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- that American costume jewellery designer.- OK.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14They're a bit of fun, really. I mean, they weren't expensive.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17So what are they - fiver each, tenner each?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19- Fiver for the two. - Really, fiver for the two?
0:20:19 > 0:20:21- Yeah.- That's good value.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Now, tell me about this.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25Trouser press?
0:20:25 > 0:20:30No, it isn't. It's so heavy - it's in fact for billiard tables.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34- Is it?- It's for ironing the baize. - That is amazing!
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Flattening the baize. It's lovely, isn't it?
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- You wouldn't think it had a sporting association. - Nor did the stall holder.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42He thought it was just a doorstop or something.
0:20:42 > 0:20:43That's fabulous. How much was that?
0:20:43 > 0:20:46- 15.- Not bad.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Not bad. And your trumpet?
0:20:48 > 0:20:50My trumpet is a bit of a punt.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52- I'm not a trumpeter.- No.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But it's in working order. I think it looks great.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56- You've got the case. - Nice case, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59And what, £50 for that?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- 20.- That is cheap, Kate.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- Is it? Are you a trumpeter? - That is so cheap.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Well, we've certainly got variety, haven't we?
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Haven't we? You can't dispute that.
0:21:10 > 0:21:11We've done very well.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14Well done, Kate. Happy selling.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18So, our booter rooters leg it home
0:21:18 > 0:21:21to hatch some shrewd selling strategies.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24This part of the challenge is the real game-changer.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26Matching the right buyer to the right item
0:21:26 > 0:21:30can make a world of difference in this game of profit.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Back at Braxton Towers, Bingo is sizing up his stockpile.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38I had to work quite hard to find my antiques in my Lincolnshire
0:21:38 > 0:21:42car-boot sale, but the first one I found was this rather nice fellow.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Painted about, sort of, 1890s to 1910,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48were these rather lovely sunflowers.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52When I saw it, I thought, grand house, grand gardens.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55So I've got to find a combination of the two for that.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57And then, this rather lovely 1960s chair.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Very clever form of upholstery here.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05You've just got a plastic cord that's wrapped round.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Very cheap. It's got one small tear there, but otherwise perfect,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12and that's lasted 50 years, which is quite remarkable.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14And I love this. This really stood out.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Why did it stand out? Because of its rather clever design.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19It's a salt cellar.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21This is a salt shaker here,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24and it's made by a good maker called Crown Devon.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It has this lovely eggshell glaze.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28A very nice touch, that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:29And with the lovely lobster.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32A small clutch of items, but watch out, Miss Bliss,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35let's see what profits I make from them.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Indeed.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38James has also to find buyers
0:22:38 > 0:22:43for his vintage baking tins and Victorian flat iron.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Over in Herefordshire, Kate is confident with her cache.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50My trumpet, you can see, is fairly straightforward.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52It is all in working order,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and it would be lovely to sell this to somebody who's just learning or
0:22:55 > 0:22:59perhaps even to somebody who's just started playing in a band,
0:22:59 > 0:23:00and to see it used.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Because I'm a firm believer that instruments were made to be played.
0:23:04 > 0:23:10Now, my bottle pourers here, in the shape of knights' visors or helmets,
0:23:10 > 0:23:15I think, are great fun, and at £5, I think they're a steal.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19And it would be great to offer these to perhaps a vineyard that does
0:23:19 > 0:23:23wine-tasting, perhaps a vineyard at a castle, even better -
0:23:23 > 0:23:25where the knights theme can come in.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I don't know. That needs a little bit more work.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31My buckle, with its beautiful enamel,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34is probably the best-quality piece.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37It's silver hallmarked, it's in fantastic order,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39which is unusual for enamel pieces.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41And they've even gone to the bother
0:23:41 > 0:23:44of putting this lovely wreath of roses around it.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'm thinking a buckle collector for this,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49because they are not the most commercial items.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It's more of a cabinet piece
0:23:51 > 0:23:54for somebody who collects little objets d'art like this,
0:23:54 > 0:23:55or pieces of enamel.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Kate also needs to line up buyers for her Mary Thorpe lapel fob
0:23:59 > 0:24:02and modern costume jewellery.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06It's time for our dealers to knuckle down and exhaust all available
0:24:06 > 0:24:10methods in a bid to accumulate the most money for their chosen charities.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14But remember, until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21James has decided the picturesque Suffolk market town of Bury St Edmunds
0:24:21 > 0:24:24is the perfect place to launch his selling campaign.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29He's brought the Crown Devon lobster motif salt shaker that cost him £10
0:24:29 > 0:24:32to show local French restaurateur Pascal.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36But will Pascal think it's worth shelling out more for?
0:24:36 > 0:24:38I've brought you a salt cellar.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43And what I was attracted to was this very bold lobster,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47with his lobster pot, and then these rather stylised, I suppose,
0:24:47 > 0:24:50little sardines or whitebait or whatever.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52- Yeah, yeah.- Rather fun, I thought.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55- What do you think of it?- So, yeah.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58So, tell me about it. So, it's from Devon?
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Yeah.- Is it hand painting, or...?
0:25:00 > 0:25:02Yeah, it's a pattern that was moulded,
0:25:02 > 0:25:06and then this decoration would have been transferred onto it,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and then somebody would have added the colour with a paint brush.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12So, it has some human interaction.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14OK. Do you know the year, or...?
0:25:14 > 0:25:19Stylistically, it's '50s, '60s.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21My mum has got Crown Devon collection
0:25:21 > 0:25:23and my mum has started to give me some of them.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- Funny!- So, I didn't know that.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30So, when I came up, I thought, "Oh, Pascal, restaurateur, chef.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33"He will like it because of the fish," but...
0:25:33 > 0:25:35So, you have Crown Devon?
0:25:35 > 0:25:39Now, price-wise, I wanted to put it in the hands of somebody good.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42What would you be willing to pay for that?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- It's a nice item. - What have you got on your mind?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47I was thinking about £70, Pascal.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52£70...
0:25:52 > 0:25:57I wish to have the pepper with it and do a set. Um...
0:25:57 > 0:26:00I will go for £50.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- £50.- £50.- Pascal, as in the tradition of all remaining friends,
0:26:05 > 0:26:08how about in the middle? £60.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11- 55.- 55?- 55.- 55. 55.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15- The five will pay... - You say three times 55 - deal done!
0:26:15 > 0:26:17The five will pay for the petrol.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Well, Bingo's catch has come in.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22He's more than quintupled his money,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25making a delicious £45 profit on sale number one.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Well, that was an unexpected pleasure.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32Not only did he like the item, but his mother collects them.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34What a stroke of luck!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37And keen to fan those profit flames further,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40James takes his vintage baking tins to an East London market.
0:26:40 > 0:26:4340 quid for the lot.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Go on, then.- Well done, Terry.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47You know it makes sense.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51Making a tasty £22 gain from stallholder Terry,
0:26:51 > 0:26:55and proving he's a master baker when it comes to cooking up a profit.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Bingo might be in the lead, but back in Herefordshire,
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Kate has been working hard.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02She's made a surprising discovery
0:27:02 > 0:27:05about the silver fob that cost her £5
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and is about to reveal all to local goldsmith Colin.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11I've brought you something quite quirky.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15It's a little fob chain, I would call it.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- Yeah.- I think you would probably wear it through your buttonhole.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I think you probably would. Through a lapel.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21It's that sort of length, isn't it?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23It is, isn't it? Yeah.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26It says on the little medallion,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29"The Most Cheery Order of Merrythoughts."
0:27:29 > 0:27:32And originally I thought of the Merrythought Teddy Bear Company.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35- Oh, yeah.- But it's not anything to do with that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38And I found out, it basically was
0:27:38 > 0:27:41a club formed in about the 1930s
0:27:41 > 0:27:45by members who read the Daily Chronicle newspaper.
0:27:45 > 0:27:48And they founded this club, seeking
0:27:48 > 0:27:51to invite people to take up membership
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and assist in the spreading of its gospel,
0:27:54 > 0:27:58which is, basically, being cheerful. I'm pretty sure it is silver.
0:27:58 > 0:28:02It says sterling on the fob, it feels like silver.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- And I like the wishbone on the end. - The wishbone is lovely, isn't it?
0:28:05 > 0:28:08That's the bit I love. And funnily enough, in America, apparently,
0:28:08 > 0:28:11wishbones are known as merrythoughts.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13It's a sort of nickname.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- Yeah.- Hence the combination of the two, I guess, the association.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19It's very nice, yes.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21And I've got a friend who would love this.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- Really?- Yes, I do, who is a cheery soul.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28I was hoping for somewhere between sort of £30-£50.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30How does that sound?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Well, I'd certainly do 30.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- OK.- You might tempt me up a little bit.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37- Really?- You could tempt me.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Could you sort of go for the middle area and say 40?
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- OK, yeah. I will.- Fantastic.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Thank you very much.- Lovely. I really hope the friend likes it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48So do I!
0:28:48 > 0:28:52Nothing gives Kate merry thoughts like a 35 profit.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54And she's just about to get even happier,
0:28:54 > 0:28:59as she sells her necklaces to dress-shop owner Brenda in Hay-on-Wye.
0:28:59 > 0:29:00- 40?- 40 for the two?
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- Yeah.- If that's good for you, that will do for me.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05Wonderful. Oh, that's great.
0:29:05 > 0:29:10Making another £35 profit, and our jolly girl has drawn level.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13But Bingo is not about to be outdone.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18Oh, no. Not even a rainy day will dampen his profit-hunting spirits.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Spot the contrast. Umbrella, deckchair.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25The two don't rather go, but anything can go in Norman Road.
0:29:25 > 0:29:29The epicentre of trendy Hastings.
0:29:29 > 0:29:30Anything goes, eh?
0:29:30 > 0:29:35James is hoping home interior design shop owner Samantha will agree,
0:29:35 > 0:29:39and give him a stylish return on his £30 investment.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Here is the fellow in person.
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Nice.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47The reason I bought this item is it's a great survivor - 1960s.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51But what I loved about it, you just lift the arms, easy peasy,
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- and you've got a recliner. - Yeah, that's lovely.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- It's clever.- You see this plastic tubular thing now.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00I've seen it, it's come back around.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Has it come back around?- It has.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04So for an old dinosaur like me,
0:30:04 > 0:30:08if I wait long enough, it comes back, doesn't it?
0:30:08 > 0:30:09It's definitely come back around.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12I didn't know I'd be bang on trend today!
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- It's a lovely chair.- It's a lovely chair and it's a lovely colour.
0:30:17 > 0:30:2245 years old, how about a pound for every year of its life, Sam?
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Wow. I would... I would say 30.
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- 30?- Yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29I've got to make a bit of money on it.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32How about in the middle, 42?
0:30:32 > 0:30:33SHE LAUGHS
0:30:33 > 0:30:35No.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36THEY LAUGH
0:30:36 > 0:30:39No, I'm toying. 40? £40.
0:30:39 > 0:30:4040, 40.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- I would say...- Come on, Sam!
0:30:42 > 0:30:47- 38.- 38, you have yourself a deal.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52And that small but comfortable £8 profit brings us to the halfway mark.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56So let's find out how our knick-knacking ninjas are doing so far.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03In the lead, James has sold three his five items,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06racking up a starting profit of £75.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Trailing slightly, Kate has done two deals,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12and has a profit of £70 in her pocket.
0:31:14 > 0:31:16This game is incredibly close,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20but Kate is one of the most determined experts around.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23She wants to win, and changes up a gear
0:31:23 > 0:31:25to make sure she leaves James in her dust.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27She's travelled to Gloucestershire,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31and our prize-fighter is preparing for battle.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34Now, I think my bottle pourers were a real steal at the car boot,
0:31:34 > 0:31:37and I always had in mind for them either a vineyard,
0:31:37 > 0:31:41to put on wine bottles, or a castle, because they're knights' helmets.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45Or a vineyard and a castle, but that was a bit of a tall order,
0:31:45 > 0:31:46so I've got for the vineyard.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48Did you follow that, viewers?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50The pourers cost Kate £5,
0:31:50 > 0:31:56but will vineyard boss Thomas top up her "bouteille de profits"?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Hello, Kate.- How do you do? - Very nice to meet you.- And you.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- So, how many vines have you got? - We've got 75 acres.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05We make about 250,000 bottles of wine a year.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I thought you must do tastings here, obviously.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Just one or two.- Just one or two!
0:32:10 > 0:32:15So I wondered if bottle pourers might come in handy.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Have a look. They're a bit of a novelty, really.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22They're obviously knights' helmets and you flip the visor up
0:32:22 > 0:32:26and you... There's a little pouring aperture there.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29But I would say, they're definitely plated, as you can see,
0:32:29 > 0:32:31silver-plated, I would suggest.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33They've certainly got a little bit of age.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I wouldn't say they were antique, though.
0:32:35 > 0:32:36They're a bit of fun, aren't they?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40We sell a lot of bottle pourers, because it's always fun to have
0:32:40 > 0:32:42a bit of nonsense about the place.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44- Yeah, a bit of a talking point, perhaps.- Yes.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I was hoping for around the sort of £150 mark.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49Hmm, £60?
0:32:49 > 0:32:52I was hoping really for about the sort of 120 mark.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55That's quite a lot of money, isn't it? £60 each?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Can we go to 110?
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- That's good for me.- OK, super. - Thank you very much.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04My goodness me. She's £105 up!
0:33:04 > 0:33:09Her glass is brimming with earnings and Kate is brimming with pride.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Bingo is suddenly playing a serious game of catch-up.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15He's back in Hastings with his sunflower picture,
0:33:15 > 0:33:18and whilst he hasn't tracked down a grand house to sell it to,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21he has found a green-fingered florist.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24He's hoping the £10 he paid for it is but a seed
0:33:24 > 0:33:27that will bloom into a beautiful profit.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31But will shop owner Mao want to pluck it?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Hello, Mao.- Hello, James.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37Here is my lovely sunflower panel. I think it very attractive.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Sort of painted in about the 19...
0:33:39 > 0:33:42Turn of the century, about 1900.
0:33:42 > 0:33:46- Right.- And I must say, I think it would look rather good on your...
0:33:46 > 0:33:49in your thing. It really stands out, doesn't it?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Yes, the colour goes with all the wreaths we've got here.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53It does. It does.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59I was rather hoping to get somewhere in the region of £40-£60.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03I think it's a beautiful painting, and it's on oak.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Yes, maybe 40.
0:34:04 > 0:34:0740? Ohh! You see?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08You think around 40?
0:34:08 > 0:34:10Yes, I think so, yes.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13Could you do a little more, 45?
0:34:13 > 0:34:17Er, no, I'd like to keep it for 40, I think.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20I'm not going to fiddle around. You can have it for 40.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22- Wonderful. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26Well, James has cultivated a fragrant profit of £30,
0:34:26 > 0:34:28and is closing in on Kate.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34In the meantime, Miss Bliss is dancing to her own tune.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38She takes her £20 trumpet to a music shop in Cheltenham
0:34:38 > 0:34:43and hopes owner Ian wants to buy her brass.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- # Yeah, yeah - Let's get down with the trumpets
0:34:45 > 0:34:47- # Yeah, yeah - Let's get down with the trumpets
0:34:47 > 0:34:50- # Yeah, yeah - Let's get down with the trumpets. #
0:34:51 > 0:34:54This is the trumpet I told you about on the telephone.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- Have a look inside.- Oh, right.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58There it is.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Right. Pity, really, because the case is a bit nicer than the trumpet.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04Oh, that's not a good start, I would say.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07This is something that's made in India, I think.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09And is probably not as old as it looks.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So, what makes you say that it's from India?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I recognise the finger buttons, to start with.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18I've seen those on instruments of the same ilk.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22- Right.- It's not very well-made - that's the other giveaway.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24And they didn't bother stamping a name on it,
0:35:24 > 0:35:27because if it was well-made, they'd want to put their name on it.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29- Right...- Not terribly exciting, but go on.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31OK, do you want to try it out?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33Let's see if we can get a note out of that, shall we?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Yeah. Interesting, just while you
0:35:35 > 0:35:37put that in, what do you think of the mouthpiece there?
0:35:37 > 0:35:39That's actually an American mouthpiece.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Made by Old's. It's actually a flugelhorn mouthpiece.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47So it's the wrong mouthpiece for the instrument anyway, but it will work.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- I'm sure.- It'll work? - Well, let's see.
0:35:49 > 0:35:50All right.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54HE PLAYS A FEW NOTES
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Oh, beautiful, isn't it?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58It sounds good when you play it.
0:35:58 > 0:35:59It sounded great!
0:35:59 > 0:36:01- It's about a quarter of a tone sharp...- Right.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03..to what it should be.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05And what about the mouthpiece?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07- The mouthpiece is the nicest thing. - Is it?- Yeah!
0:36:08 > 0:36:12- What's that worth?- If you wanted to buy that new, probably £45.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13OK, all right.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16- Lovely.- After all that, would you like to buy it?
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I'm might take a punt.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23You might take a punt?
0:36:23 > 0:36:26What if we said 25 for the trumpet and...
0:36:26 > 0:36:28um...
0:36:28 > 0:36:3120 for the mouthpiece?
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- 45 altogether?- 45 altogether.
0:36:34 > 0:36:35And the case, of course.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- And the case. - You get the case thrown in.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40All right, we'll do that.
0:36:40 > 0:36:41- 45, yes?- Yeah.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43See if we can make a go of that.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Wonderful. Thank you very much indeed.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Well, a tuneful £25 profit
0:36:49 > 0:36:53and Kate ends that sale on a high note.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56With just his smoothing flat iron left to sell,
0:36:56 > 0:36:59James is hoping he's going to pot a big profit
0:36:59 > 0:37:01from snooker fan John in East Sussex.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04Remember, it cost him £15.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07- Hello, John.- Good to see you. - Very nice to see you.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Now, here's the mighty... Feel the weight of that.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Let me feel that.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Feel the weight of that. - That is some weight.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16It is heavy, isn't it?
0:37:16 > 0:37:17- Four kilos?- I would have thought so.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Anyway, you know what it is.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21- It is a smoothing iron. - Smoothing iron.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24- Yeah. Do you have one? - I don't. I have a modern one.
0:37:24 > 0:37:29It's electric, it's got a thermostat control.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31It takes a little while to heat up, but probably not as long as this.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I'm really pleased to see Burroughes & Watts label there.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39They were the sort of Rolls-Royce manufacturers.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43And Orme & Sons were the big boys up in Manchester,
0:37:43 > 0:37:44so, the Northern ones.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Burroughes & Watts were London-based.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52And they, in fact, acquired Orme & Sons in Manchester,
0:37:52 > 0:37:58and I love the fact that they've got this lovely industrial design.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01If we can get sort of anywhere between 100 and 200,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- I'd be a very happy bunny.- OK.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07How do you...? Now, looking at it, are you sold on it?
0:38:07 > 0:38:09- I'm certainly interested. - You are interested.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14I'm interested. I'll give 100 quid for it.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16But I'll give you an extra 50 quid
0:38:16 > 0:38:21if we have a game of who gets closest to the cushion.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24Fabulous. No, I am well up for that.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29And it's the nail-biting finale to Bingo's selling spree.
0:38:29 > 0:38:34Can he get his yellow ball closer to the cushion than John's green ball
0:38:34 > 0:38:37and walk away with that extra £50 bonus?
0:38:37 > 0:38:41- On the count of three. - On the count of three. OK.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Three, two, one.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46It's a steady shot from both players.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Oh, James has it!
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Aah, there you go!
0:38:54 > 0:38:55I'd better get the cash out!
0:38:57 > 0:38:59# Snooker loopy, nuts are we
0:38:59 > 0:39:02# Me and him and them and me... #
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Well, with surprising skill and cue control,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07James won the higher price fair and square
0:39:07 > 0:39:11and walks away with £135 profit.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Nobody expected that.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Bingo is all sold up.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18But over in Cheltenham, Kate has one final chance
0:39:18 > 0:39:21to make her fortune with the silver belt buckle.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24It was Kate's most expensive item at £28,
0:39:24 > 0:39:27but can she tempt vintage boutique owners
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Theresa and Paul with more?
0:39:30 > 0:39:32I told you about this on the telephone,
0:39:32 > 0:39:35and I'm hoping it might fit in with your mix.
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Either the vintage fashion, maybe,
0:39:36 > 0:39:40or even as a little cabinet piece for a collector.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43As you can see, it's a little buckle, but the enamelling on it -
0:39:43 > 0:39:47which is why I liked it - is really lovely, because...
0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Beautiful.- Yes. - Nicely hallmarked there.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51It's Birmingham 1911.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- Right.- And in fact it's L and S, which is Levi and Salomon.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56So, just into the reign of George V.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Exactly. Just into George V.
0:39:58 > 0:39:59A real sign of quality.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02They're known for their nice quality works.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It's quite stunningly simple, as well.
0:40:04 > 0:40:05Very elegantly simple.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09- That's right.- And wearable today. It's still a practical piece.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Exactly. For those people who like to wear nice quality period pieces,
0:40:12 > 0:40:16because they don't really make things like that these days -
0:40:16 > 0:40:19not in that sort of detail, obviously with the age.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24- Yes.- So, I was hoping for sort of towards 150-ish.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25How does that sound?
0:40:25 > 0:40:29That's probably a little bit rich for us, actually.
0:40:29 > 0:40:35Well, Kate is certainly aiming high, and this sale could be the decider.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37But before we reveal all,
0:40:37 > 0:40:41let's have a quick reminder of how much they spent at the car boot.
0:40:41 > 0:40:48From his £250 budget, James bought five items, costing £83.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53Kate also made five purchases and spent a total of £63,
0:40:53 > 0:40:55but who has made the most profit?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57All the money that James and Kate have made
0:40:57 > 0:40:59will go to charities of their choice.
0:40:59 > 0:41:03So, without further ado, let's find out who is today's
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Put Your Money where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Hi. Glad you could show up!
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- How are you doing? - I'm very good, very good.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15The car boot was quite a struggle, wasn't it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17You know, it was a bit of a struggle.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18It's finding those gems,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20and they were a bit thin on the ground, I thought.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I like that lovely enamelled buckle.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- That was really nice. A really nice quality piece.- Big profit, Kate?
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Sold OK, sold OK.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30JAMES LAUGHS
0:41:30 > 0:41:34I want to know about your... First of all, your lovely flower picture.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37- That was pretty, wasn't it? - Yeah, your Van Gogh in the making.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40I sold that to a very lovely flower shop.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- Did you?- Yeah. Looked very good on the wall.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46So, what about your unusual flat iron, your table iron?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Do you really want to know, Kate?
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- Oh!- Beware of humble objects.- No!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- It did really well, didn't it? - Beware.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Beware. Shall we see how well?
0:41:55 > 0:41:56- I've got bad vibes.- No, rubbish!
0:41:56 > 0:41:59I've got really bad vibes.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01Come on, put me out of my misery.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- One, two, three.- Go!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06262, 240!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- How close is that?!- See, Kate?
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- Oof! That was close.- That was close.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16Wow, Mrs Bliss.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Look at that - just a few drinks in it.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- I'm buying the drinks.- Ohh!
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Come on, it was pretty close.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Yes, Kate "Absolute" Bliss triumphs,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30and it was her buckle that strapped her into the winning seat...
0:42:30 > 0:42:33My thoughts are probably around £80.
0:42:33 > 0:42:37Could you just do a wee bit more and say the £100 mark?
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- How would 90 sound? - £90 sounds good to me.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- Fantastic.- Thank you very much.
0:42:43 > 0:42:44Thank you very much.
0:42:44 > 0:42:49..giving her a smart £62 profit and making her the champion.
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Well, I think Bingo thought he had that one in the bag.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54He was pretty confident about his flat iron.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58It may only have been by that much, but I beat him.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59I enjoyed the car boot.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03A bit of a struggle, but I managed to find some nice wheat amongst
0:43:03 > 0:43:09the chaff, but still it wasn't quite enough to beat "Absolute" Bliss.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Well, you can be certain James will do everything he can
0:43:12 > 0:43:15to redeem himself tomorrow, when he and Kate slug it out
0:43:15 > 0:43:18at an antiques market in Belgium.
