0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's make hay while that sun shines.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Each week, one pair of duelling dealers will face a different

0:00:15 > 0:00:17daily challenge...

0:00:17 > 0:00:19I've got an heavy profit here.

0:00:19 > 0:00:21..putting their reputations on the line.

0:00:21 > 0:00:22Who's there?

0:00:42 > 0:00:45Coming up, Phil tells us what's hot right now...

0:00:45 > 0:00:48This is bang on trend at the moment and that's most unusual for me.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51But Indian and Eastern silver is really, really very,

0:00:51 > 0:00:53very collectible.

0:00:53 > 0:00:54..David is jumping for joy...

0:00:55 > 0:00:59We're going partying, Richard. We're going partying.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02..and it is full steam ahead when it comes to selling.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04TRAIN WHISTLES

0:01:04 > 0:01:07This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25Welcome one and all to cherry Chesterfield

0:01:25 > 0:01:29where the bells of the famous crooked spire of St Mary's have been

0:01:29 > 0:01:32tolling the arrival of two saints of the sellables

0:01:32 > 0:01:34and angels of artefacts.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Today, they are descending into the misty morning

0:01:37 > 0:01:41of Twin Oaks Car Boot ready to anoint the masses with money

0:01:41 > 0:01:45and lead themselves to the holy land of profits.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48First up, it's the wandering wiccan of Worcestershire

0:01:48 > 0:01:52whose knowledge is as ancient as the cobwebs on his wallet.

0:01:52 > 0:01:56It's St Philip 'The Fox' Serrell.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01As a rule, I don't like buying these.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05And vying for a seat at the table is the charmed cherub of choosing,

0:02:05 > 0:02:06the seraphim of sales,

0:02:06 > 0:02:10a man whose trousers are brighter than a Technicolor dream coat.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Yes, he is devilish, but sometimes

0:02:13 > 0:02:14a saint. It is David Harper.

0:02:16 > 0:02:20Check out the colour of that one! That is bang on trend.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25They will be hitting this car boot with £250 of their own money

0:02:25 > 0:02:28to spend on whatever they think will turn them a profit

0:02:28 > 0:02:32when it comes to selling. And all the money will go to charity.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35But who will be victorious in this battle for Heaven,

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Earth and, of course, the car boot?

0:02:39 > 0:02:41But for now, David Harper and Philip Serrell,

0:02:41 > 0:02:44it's time to put your money where your mouth is.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Good morning, Philip.- How are you, my friend?- Very good, very good.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Yeah, yeah.- We might be a bit early.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Well, I thought these car boots started at the crack of dawn.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- It is now nearly 10.00... - I know.- ..and there's nothing here

0:02:54 > 0:02:57except there's a burger van down there and you can get a 99 up there.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00- That sounds all right to me. - You been to Chesterfield before?

0:03:00 > 0:03:02- Several times. I like it. - Seen the old curly-wurly spire?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- I've seen it.- It's lovely. - You can't see very much today.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08- We've got the M1 tearing by there... - Pardon?- Yeah, exactly.

0:03:08 > 0:03:09Yeah, I know, I know.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13- So, 250 to spend.- Yeah, what are you going to buy?- Well, I don't know.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15- You know, car boots, I mean... - Pff, get a hat, mate.- A hat?- Yeah.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17You are just jealous of the scarf, aren't you?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- That's not a scarf, that's a curtain.- I copied you.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22- It's identical to yours. It's better than yours.- Get in there.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26So, having discussed their fashion faux pas

0:03:26 > 0:03:29and with the gates wide-open and the crowds descending,

0:03:29 > 0:03:33exactly how will Devilish be tackling this car boot?

0:03:33 > 0:03:35It used to be that I would get a great thrill

0:03:35 > 0:03:38and a buzz out of buying antiques from a car boot,

0:03:38 > 0:03:40but the market has changed so dramatically

0:03:40 > 0:03:45that now the look is all about vintage - '60s, '70s, '80s.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49So, that's more of the look and the buying that I will be going for.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Yes, like a chameleon of the collectibles,

0:03:51 > 0:03:55David is ready to blend in with his car boot crowd.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Phil, however, is feeling like a fish out of water.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00I'm under the cosh a bit here because this is not the

0:04:00 > 0:04:05natural habitat of P Serrell and I fear it might be for D Harper.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07He is going to be in there buying stuff everywhere

0:04:07 > 0:04:11and I'm just sort of going to be quietly looking, I think.

0:04:11 > 0:04:12A bit daunted.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Ooh, not the most confident of first steps.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20Meanwhile, Devilish isn't just meandering the stalls,

0:04:20 > 0:04:22he's downright strutting.

0:04:22 > 0:04:23Morning. Hey, great to see you.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26# I'm walkin' on sunshine... #

0:04:26 > 0:04:28You know, I absolutely love this place.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Not because of the goods,

0:04:30 > 0:04:35purely because I know Philip Serrell hates car boots. Ha!

0:04:35 > 0:04:37Well, you may be right there.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40As across the boot sale, the Fox seems off form.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43How much is the table and chairs, please?

0:04:43 > 0:04:48I've got 250 on them, but I'm very much open to negotiation.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51Yeah, I wouldn't get even close to that, my friend.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53You can take a two off, is where I am with them.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55- Really, 50?- Yeah. Yeah.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59This really is a totally alien culture to me.

0:04:59 > 0:05:02If you want to buy blue sheets, there's tonnes of them here.

0:05:02 > 0:05:05Mm, with our wily wanderer feeling a little out of sorts

0:05:05 > 0:05:08and needing to find his merchandise mojo,

0:05:08 > 0:05:11across the field, David is in high spirits.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13In fact, he is in high fidelity.

0:05:13 > 0:05:16- This is a great way to start a car boot fair!- Yeah.

0:05:16 > 0:05:21- I mean, it's just fantastic. It's 1920s or '30s, isn't it?- Yeah, yeah.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24I mean, that is for fun days out.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26You go on a picnic with your friends and family

0:05:26 > 0:05:28and you just play it by the river, wouldn't you?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30- Have a singsong.- Have a singsong.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34If I break it, I suppose I've got to buy it.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37Well, funny you should say that, David, as the Laughing Policeman

0:05:37 > 0:05:39is laughing no more.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43RECORD SKIPS

0:05:43 > 0:05:45It's rubbish. Richard, it's rubbish.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Come on, Richard, you can do it!

0:05:50 > 0:05:55What sort of money is it to me, if we can get it to actually work?

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- 100.- 100 quid?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00It's all the money, isn't it, as we say?

0:06:00 > 0:06:0180 and we are there.

0:06:01 > 0:06:05- If you can get it to play, I'll have it for 80. How's that?- Yeah, yeah.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09RECORD PLAYS OUT OF TIME

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Well, that doesn't sound so good.

0:06:11 > 0:06:14- It's the needle, I think. I have to change the needle.- Yeah.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16Always make sure your needle is in good order.

0:06:16 > 0:06:18Yes.

0:06:18 > 0:06:23RECORD PLAYS SLIGHTLY OUT OF TIME

0:06:27 > 0:06:33RECORD SLOWLY PLAYS IN TIME

0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'm not ready yet.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39RECORD PLAYS CORRECTLY

0:06:39 > 0:06:41THEY LAUGH

0:06:41 > 0:06:44We are going partying, Richard. We are going partying. I love it.

0:06:44 > 0:06:4680 quid. Thank you very much.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49And David secures the party piece along with a small

0:06:49 > 0:06:52collection of records for a chart-topping £80,

0:06:52 > 0:06:54but will it spin him a profit?

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Quite a remarkable find, I think,

0:06:56 > 0:06:58and quite a big spend also for a car boot.

0:06:58 > 0:07:02It's actually called a grafonola, which is not a gramophone.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04Gramophone is the big fixed ones with the huge speakers.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08This grafonola has the speaker built in and of course,

0:07:08 > 0:07:10made to transport.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Remarkable, really.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15So well put together and screaming Art Deco

0:07:15 > 0:07:19and so well engineered. This little dish here holds your needles.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22But when you close the lid, this rubber stopper

0:07:22 > 0:07:27pushes down into the needles and keeps them in position.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30And then the mark at the back, "A Hindley, Nottingham,"

0:07:30 > 0:07:33which is quite close to here. I'm kind of thinking in my head here,

0:07:33 > 0:07:35"Do I go vintage, go and try to sell it to a tea room?

0:07:35 > 0:07:38"Or do I take it to someone who really know knows music?"

0:07:38 > 0:07:42So, delightful purchase and we are going to have some fun with it,

0:07:42 > 0:07:43that's for sure.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45So, David's record player has him

0:07:45 > 0:07:48dancing away with one purchase to his opponent's nil.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Because it seems Phil is grooving to a different beat today -

0:07:51 > 0:07:54the solitary samba.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57Absolute feeding frenzy, there is here.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00After a little rummaging, he finally spots something

0:08:00 > 0:08:04he likes the look of, but probably couldn't use himself.

0:08:04 > 0:08:08- Beauty.- Is that right? - Yeah. It's gorgeous.

0:08:08 > 0:08:11No-one has ever said to me, "You want to buy this. It's awful."

0:08:11 > 0:08:13SHE LAUGHS

0:08:13 > 0:08:16No, but you know the value of that anyway.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- HE MUMBLES - I'm not making any money at ten.

0:08:19 > 0:08:20- You want a tenner for it?- Yeah.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22- Is that the best? - That is definitely the best.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24- Oh, God, I'll give you a tenner. - You know that.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27I'll give you a tenner for it. Thank you very much indeed.

0:08:27 > 0:08:29So, the sun isn't shining, I've got a deck chair that

0:08:29 > 0:08:32I wouldn't even get my foot in, let alone my behind.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Why would I buy that?

0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well, for £10, I think it's a real good bit of fun.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39And it's the sort of thing that you are either going to sell

0:08:39 > 0:08:43to someone with a young child or a great thing for a doll

0:08:43 > 0:08:45or a teddy bear collector.

0:08:45 > 0:08:46Well, that's what I'm hoping.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, with at least a modicum of...

0:08:49 > 0:08:52let's say optimism, Phil wanders warily away

0:08:52 > 0:08:55while David pounces in on the same stall,

0:08:55 > 0:08:58spots a vintage Harrods hamper basket

0:08:58 > 0:09:00and quickly spends £10 on it.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04So, this is probably the closest I will ever get to receiving

0:09:04 > 0:09:05a Harrods hamper.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09But what a lovely thing to receive at Christmas time, something,

0:09:09 > 0:09:12a gift like that would be just dreamy.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15I mean, it's a very basic basket, but I love the shape of it.

0:09:15 > 0:09:19That kind of D-end shape and the combination of the wicker as well.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21So it's really good quality.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Date wise, almost impossible to sort of pinpoint,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26so let's just call it vintage.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28At ten quid, there's got to be a bit of a profit on there.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32Maybe a double bubble, meaning 20 quid. Thank you very much.

0:09:34 > 0:09:37So, David is sailing ahead with two buys to Phil's one.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40It seems our Fox needs to get back on course and quickly.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Perhaps this compass will help.

0:09:45 > 0:09:48- It looks to be off a small boat.- Yes.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51It looks like it's somewhere between the '50s and '60s.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Yeah, I would say so myself.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55And it looks like it's got a retail value of something

0:09:55 > 0:09:58between 50 and 80 quid, I would think.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00Well, that's rather sporting of Phil,

0:10:00 > 0:10:04letting the vendor know the market value before making an offer.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Which means I've got to try and buy it for 20, 30 quid, really.

0:10:07 > 0:10:09If that's any good to you.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11Hm, maybe not so sporting.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15- £25 that's all I've got, really.- I think it's worth a little bit more.

0:10:15 > 0:10:20- What's the best you will do? - I'll do 30 quid.- 30?- Yeah.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Go on, I'll have a deal with you. At least I'll be able

0:10:22 > 0:10:25to find my way home. There we are. Thank you very much indeed.

0:10:25 > 0:10:26Thank you.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Yes, Phil proving there that he is not a complete

0:10:28 > 0:10:32fish out of water as he picks up a nautical knick-knack.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36This is a ship's compass and what I love about it,

0:10:36 > 0:10:39this would have been bolted to the deck of the ship or a small boat

0:10:39 > 0:10:44and however stormy the seas were, you always knew that you were

0:10:44 > 0:10:46heading on course.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's an English one, there's a London maker's mark just there.

0:10:49 > 0:10:51And then there is the model number there.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54I've just got to hope that it is going to keep me on the

0:10:54 > 0:10:57straight and narrow for a profit.

0:10:57 > 0:10:58Indeed, Phil.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00With two buys in the bag,

0:11:00 > 0:11:04the Fox is working hard to navigate his way back into this competition.

0:11:04 > 0:11:08Meanwhile, David is sticking to his strategy of buying vintage

0:11:08 > 0:11:13and has spotted the chance to refuel with a well-used petrol can.

0:11:13 > 0:11:14So, tell me about it. What do you know?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17Well, this one's quite rare cos it's got an eight on it.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19That was basically the price, eight shillings,

0:11:19 > 0:11:22so that one was later, but the later ones never really survived.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24- So, the eight means it's what? - Eight shillings.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27- A gallon? Is that right?- Yeah, I think so.- That's interesting.

0:11:27 > 0:11:31I didn't know that. OK. So, date wise, what are we thinking?

0:11:31 > 0:11:33- I'd say it's about- '50s. 1950s?

0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Are you big into this stuff, are you?- Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like it.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38I love the cap as well.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41- That's a very different cap as well, actually.- Why?

0:11:41 > 0:11:44It hasn't got Esso on it whereas usually they have Esso on it.

0:11:44 > 0:11:45This is really good information.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49- I'm going to have to try and buy this off of you, aren't I?- Yeah.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52- It's not going to come to me at ten, is it?- No.

0:11:52 > 0:11:55- What's it going to come to me at? - 15 will be my best.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- 15, I'm going to have it. Good man. - Thank you.- Lots of luck to you.

0:11:59 > 0:12:00# On the road again... #

0:12:00 > 0:12:02You know, I do love this business

0:12:02 > 0:12:06because you do genuinely learn something new every day.

0:12:06 > 0:12:10And such a delight also to learn from such a young dealer

0:12:10 > 0:12:13who is really passionate and knowledgeable.

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Knowledge is power and power is money.

0:12:16 > 0:12:20Yes, Devilish there proving that old dogs can learn new tricks,

0:12:20 > 0:12:24while Phil is trying some old tricks on a new dog.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Hello.

0:12:26 > 0:12:27How are you?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30Oh, look at you.

0:12:30 > 0:12:32How much?

0:12:32 > 0:12:34No, he is not for sale, Phil.

0:12:34 > 0:12:37And with that, we are already at the midway point of this buying

0:12:37 > 0:12:40bonanza, so let's see which one of our angels of antiques is

0:12:40 > 0:12:44trumpeting their treasures and which is praying for purchases.

0:12:45 > 0:12:49From a £250 budget, David has three purchases and has

0:12:49 > 0:12:56spent £105, which leaves him with £145 for the rest of the day.

0:12:56 > 0:12:57Phil has had a slow start

0:12:57 > 0:13:01and spent just £40 on two items,

0:13:01 > 0:13:03leaving him £210 in the kitty.

0:13:04 > 0:13:07- David, how are you, my friend? - All right, all right.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Are you struggling? - Yeah.- It's car boot.

0:13:09 > 0:13:10Yeah, there's a lot of cars.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Yeah, a lot of boots. - Yeah, a lot of boots.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15No, I'm finding it tough and I don't mind admitting it.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- I'm not a regular car boot goer.- No.

0:13:17 > 0:13:21And it's like a totally different society for me. I just...

0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It's tough, isn't it? - Yeah, but look around you.

0:13:23 > 0:13:25At least there are people.

0:13:25 > 0:13:28When we first arrived, we were the only people in the field.

0:13:28 > 0:13:31- But you can't buy people.- Yeah, but people have things to sell.- Really?

0:13:31 > 0:13:34- Are we on the same programme? - I'll go and have a look, then.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38So, as our pair disappear back into the car boot chaos,

0:13:38 > 0:13:42it is clear that the Fox has only one thing on his mind.

0:13:42 > 0:13:45I know that David Harper is really, really good at this,

0:13:45 > 0:13:47so I'm going to have to be on his case here.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51What I've really got to do is focus my mind and try to find a bargain.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55So, with boilers suddenly fired up, Phil goes full steam ahead

0:13:55 > 0:13:58and tracks down three mounted locomotives.

0:13:58 > 0:14:00These are quite fun, these, aren't they?

0:14:00 > 0:14:02How much are these, please?

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- I will do 15 on the lot. - I don't actually know what they are.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Well, they are trains. I'll give you a tenner for the lot.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11- Go on, then.- There we are. You are a gentleman, thank you.

0:14:11 > 0:14:13Yeah, so a £5 discount

0:14:13 > 0:14:16and Phil rolls off with an arm full of nostalgia.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19And if he wanted to know what a train sounds like...

0:14:19 > 0:14:22Diddly-dum, diddly-dum, diddly-dum, diddly-dum.

0:14:22 > 0:14:24These are just fun things.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27No great age to them, probably made out of resin,

0:14:27 > 0:14:29but they are just models of different trains

0:14:29 > 0:14:34and there are so many train and railway memorabilia enthusiasts out

0:14:34 > 0:14:38there that I'm sure there's a profit in these at £10.

0:14:38 > 0:14:41I've just got to hope, really, that I don't get derailed.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43Yes, let's hope so, old chap.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45Now, with Phil in full stride,

0:14:45 > 0:14:48it's not long before he spots his next potential purchase.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Isn't that lovely quality? How much is that?

0:14:52 > 0:14:54It's £40.

0:14:54 > 0:14:56Now, while Phil has taken to telling the car booter

0:14:56 > 0:14:59the value of their items, some do come prepared.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02- And how much are these?- 110.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06- You know the value of the stuff, don't you? You are good.- Hard work.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Too good, you are. Too good.

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Now, what about this ropey old thing, then?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12This one is 70.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15I like that.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19Quite malleable, which is a good indication that it is silver.

0:15:19 > 0:15:22The thing that just really doesn't help this

0:15:22 > 0:15:24is this inscription just here.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29"Miss Rich, in deep appreciation, Dr and Mrs FR Parrikar."

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Be lovely if that wasn't on there. - Yes.

0:15:33 > 0:15:36It's a nice thing that, but I can't give you 70 quid for it.

0:15:36 > 0:15:39For me to get a profit out of it, it's like £45.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- OK, I will do for you 50 for that. - 50.- Yeah.

0:15:42 > 0:15:43Thank you very much indeed.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Blimey, that £50 purchase doubles Phil's outlay so far.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49So, why was he seduced by the silver?

0:15:53 > 0:15:54This is bang on trend at the moment.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57That's most unusual for me, but Indian and Eastern silver,

0:15:57 > 0:16:00it's really, really, very, very collectible.

0:16:00 > 0:16:03Now, this is silver, doesn't have a hallmark on it, so the correct

0:16:03 > 0:16:05way to sell it is as Indian white metal,

0:16:05 > 0:16:09but I love these designs here.

0:16:09 > 0:16:13We've got all these fantastic landscapes all around.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16The only thing that in a way I'm disappointed with is this cartouche,

0:16:16 > 0:16:19or this shield, that is engraved.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21Now, I've got a number of options here.

0:16:21 > 0:16:24One is to try and find someone who's associated with

0:16:24 > 0:16:27the people in here or I get it polished out.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31I'm inclined just to leave it and just sell it just as it is.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I think it's a really, really lovely thing.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35And with that fourth buy in the bag,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38the Fox has surprised even himself.

0:16:38 > 0:16:41This is really uncommon ground for me

0:16:41 > 0:16:44because I've bought the things that I wanted to and I'm...

0:16:44 > 0:16:46feeling quite confident about it.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49This could all go horribly wrong.

0:16:50 > 0:16:51Optimistic as ever.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55Meanwhile, Devilish is again following in Phil's

0:16:55 > 0:16:57footsteps and has been sucked in by the silver stall.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00You have quite a collection of watches here.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- That one, how much would that one be?- 35.

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- 35.- Silver.- It is silver.

0:17:07 > 0:17:11So, made in Birmingham, there's your Birmingham mark.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14Date wise, it's been rubbed off.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16- Can it be any cheaper for me?- 30.

0:17:16 > 0:17:18- 30, is that the best? - That's the best.

0:17:18 > 0:17:21Well, you can't go wrong, 30 quid for a silver pocket watch, can you?

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Thank you very much indeed. I'll have that. Thank you.

0:17:24 > 0:17:27I'm not a great lover of pocket watches, I've got to tell you.

0:17:27 > 0:17:31Wristwatches, I absolutely adore, but pocket watches

0:17:31 > 0:17:35are becoming quite fashionable with the hipsters in certain areas.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38You can see, can't you, a tweed suit wearing it?

0:17:38 > 0:17:39It would look pretty smart.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42So, we have the Roman numerals around the face

0:17:42 > 0:17:46and then the Arabic on the second-hand, solid silver.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48So, at 30 quid, it's not a bad buy.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51The kind of money it would make in auction, just for scrap value.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53So, all right for me.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55And all right for us.

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Meanwhile, the Fox has been lured in by an Edwardian napkin ring.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04- I will let you have it for a pound. - A pound? Are you sure? Pound?

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- Honestly?- If you think it's worth more, you must give me more.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08I will leave it to you.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11I think it's worth more, but I don't want to give you more.

0:18:11 > 0:18:12Yes, that's the Phil we all know,

0:18:12 > 0:18:16but the lady hasn't quite finished with the Fox.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18With conditions attached.

0:18:18 > 0:18:19- Go on, then. What's that? - I want a kiss.

0:18:19 > 0:18:21ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYS

0:18:21 > 0:18:26Well, a pound and a kiss, but has Phil really got a bargain?

0:18:26 > 0:18:31What a really, really lovely lady. And she sold me a pure profit here.

0:18:31 > 0:18:35The real sad thing for me is if you see that number five there,

0:18:35 > 0:18:41this would have originally been a case set of six silver rings

0:18:41 > 0:18:42and now there's only one left.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45So where the other five are, Lord knows.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48But I think this is lovely and this is typical of the period.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52The way it's got these scrolls and flower heads on it.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56No great weight there. In terms of scrap silver...

0:18:56 > 0:18:59there's probably less than an ounce. So in today's market,

0:18:59 > 0:19:03that's about £8, but that's far too good to go in the melting pot.

0:19:03 > 0:19:07Mm...that lip-smacking deal puts Phil up five items to David's four

0:19:07 > 0:19:10and he soon adds a sixth to his selection

0:19:10 > 0:19:14when he trades a £5 note for a somewhat tired-looking chair.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18And as we reach the final throes of today's forage for the finest,

0:19:18 > 0:19:22the race is on to find the best this car boot has left to offer.

0:19:23 > 0:19:26- Please tell me that's an Elvis onesie.- It is.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Have you ever worn it?- Once.

0:19:28 > 0:19:30- LAUGHS:- Once and once only.

0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Once, everybody laughed at me. - Did they? No, I'm so surprised(!)

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I mean, it looks quite big. Can I have a closer look at it?

0:19:36 > 0:19:38I mean, I will let you handle it

0:19:38 > 0:19:40- cos it's quite a valuable object, I'm sure.- There you go.

0:19:42 > 0:19:45You know, I think that's quite stylish, don't you? Seriously.

0:19:45 > 0:19:47- It is very stylish.- How much is it?

0:19:47 > 0:19:49£2. £2?!

0:19:52 > 0:19:56You know, where else in the world would you buy a second-hand

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Elvis onesie than a car boot?

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Ugh, nowhere, David, nowhere.

0:20:01 > 0:20:04I think I've just got to have it. There's no negotiating here.

0:20:04 > 0:20:06Thank you very much indeed.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11So, a cheeky £2 deal and Devilish gets to live out a lifelong dream.

0:20:13 > 0:20:17I really just don't know what to say apart from...

0:20:17 > 0:20:18Uh-huh-huh.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Yeah, viva Las Vegas, David.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25It's amazing, I've bought all my objects and people are still here!

0:20:25 > 0:20:28That's really quite rare because car boots seem to just,

0:20:28 > 0:20:31from nowhere, close up and everybody disappears.

0:20:31 > 0:20:35I've bought some good things, but my favourite is the music system,

0:20:35 > 0:20:38the grafonola, or as we like to call it in the trade,

0:20:38 > 0:20:40the grafono-lah!

0:20:40 > 0:20:43Well, Harper may have crossed the finish line first,

0:20:43 > 0:20:46but it seems the Fox hasn't given up on the race

0:20:46 > 0:20:49as he pulls over for a pit stop, spends £8

0:20:49 > 0:20:52and pulls away with a modern Scalextric set.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55This really does throw me back to my childhood -

0:20:55 > 0:20:57and yes, I can remember that long ago -

0:20:57 > 0:21:01when my dad bought me one of these model racing sets.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03I think they're really cool, really wicked.

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Now, there's no age to this at all.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08At £8, I think this is really, really cheap

0:21:08 > 0:21:10and you know, I'm a real car man.

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I know enough car people

0:21:12 > 0:21:15and I reckon I could sell that to one of them.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Then I can get to have a go on it as well. Ha-ha!

0:21:17 > 0:21:19Yeah, you big kid, you.

0:21:19 > 0:21:22And with that, our pilgrimage of purchasing is at an end,

0:21:22 > 0:21:25so let's see what they spent at the car boot.

0:21:27 > 0:21:31From £250, David bought five items

0:21:31 > 0:21:35and spent over half his budget, £137.

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Phil wanted some bargains today and he got more for less.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Seven items cost him £114.

0:21:42 > 0:21:47But before they part ways, there's time for a little show and tell.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Wow, gosh, Phil. I mean, we could set up our own car boot stall here.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53So what's your best buy?

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Oh, without a doubt, this baby here. I love it to bits.

0:21:56 > 0:21:59You know, think of a picnic, sunshine, wonderful,

0:21:59 > 0:22:02- great atmospheric sort of thing. - How much was it?- 80 quid.

0:22:02 > 0:22:05- £80?- It's not car boot money, is it? - Well, I love this.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08- This is my dearest buy. A little piece of Indian silver.- Yeah.

0:22:08 > 0:22:10£50. Which was your cheapest lot?

0:22:10 > 0:22:13- Oh, I bought a proper car boot purchase...- Really?

0:22:13 > 0:22:15- ..and I think you are going to love it.- What was that?

0:22:15 > 0:22:20Elvis Presley onesie for £2.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22I would rather have my little hallmarked, silver

0:22:22 > 0:22:24napkin ring for a pound.

0:22:24 > 0:22:27That's a car boot buy.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29I'll tell you one thing, I think

0:22:29 > 0:22:32your onesie that you paid a twosie for that could be a 50 p-sie, mate.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35I would be very pleased with a 50 p-sie, to be honest.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37- Good luck, mate.- And we are going to need some luck with this one.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39- We really are.- Absolutely. Help!

0:22:41 > 0:22:45They may be concerned about selling their booty, but sell it they must.

0:22:45 > 0:22:48And so, our rummaging rascals hoof it home

0:22:48 > 0:22:50to plan their attack.

0:22:50 > 0:22:52They need to line up deep-pocketed buyers

0:22:52 > 0:22:55and then haggle their way to victorious profit.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57Back at his Worcestershire lair,

0:22:57 > 0:23:00Phil is assessing his arsenal.

0:23:00 > 0:23:05My best lot was undoubtedly this little Indian silver trophy.

0:23:05 > 0:23:07That's a really, really good quality thing.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10It's flavour of the month at the moment and I'm hoping that

0:23:10 > 0:23:13someone is going to show me a profit on my outlay.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16The trains, I think lots and lots of people collect train

0:23:16 > 0:23:20memorabilia, so I'm hoping there's a profit in those.

0:23:20 > 0:23:25The deck chair is clearly way, way too small for me,

0:23:25 > 0:23:28so I'm going to have to try and find someone that will fit into it.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31The chair, it was a weaker moment.

0:23:31 > 0:23:34£5 and you can't even sit in it.

0:23:34 > 0:23:35Might be in trouble with that.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37Yes, that could be tricky.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40And Phil also has to find buyers for his ship's compass,

0:23:40 > 0:23:44his Edwardian napkin ring and his racing set.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49Over at Harper Hall, David seems happier with his purchases.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52Wow, I'll tell you what, what an odd collection.

0:23:52 > 0:23:53The petrol tin, I love it.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58Great pal of mine has two wonderfully exotic cars.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01He wants to build a collection of motorbilia,

0:24:01 > 0:24:02so that will find a home.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06And then the grafonola, it is just magic

0:24:06 > 0:24:09and on rooting around inside the box,

0:24:09 > 0:24:10I found spare needles.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13There must be about 100 in there, which is fantastic.

0:24:13 > 0:24:14Finally, the silver pocket watch.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18I would love sell to this to somebody who is going to use it.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20In some quarters, it's quite fashionable now to wear

0:24:20 > 0:24:22kind of Edwardian-type clothing.

0:24:22 > 0:24:25So, quite an interesting bunch of stuff.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29So, David also needs to line up buyers for his vintage hamper

0:24:29 > 0:24:32and not forgetting his Elvis onesie.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35Both our experts are raring to go, hitting the phones,

0:24:35 > 0:24:38the internet and the road in a bid to turn their purchases

0:24:38 > 0:24:42into profit and accumulate the most money for their chosen charities.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45But no deal is sealed until they have shaken on it

0:24:45 > 0:24:48and the money has changed hands.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52Phil is starting his selling spree on his home turf of Worcestershire.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55And not only is he taking a trip down memory lane,

0:24:55 > 0:24:57but he is also going back to school.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59# Hey, teacher!

0:24:59 > 0:25:02# Leave those kids alone. #

0:25:02 > 0:25:06Now, I know you might find it hard to believe that I was educated,

0:25:06 > 0:25:10but I did go RGS Worcester and I am at their prep department to see

0:25:10 > 0:25:15if I can find someone who is going to fit in my little deck chair.

0:25:15 > 0:25:16Now, please bear with Phil,

0:25:16 > 0:25:21he may be slightly disorientated as the chalk and slate of his youth

0:25:21 > 0:25:23has been replaced by modern pens and paper.

0:25:23 > 0:25:26And look, Phil, it's all in colour!

0:25:26 > 0:25:28The child's deck chair cost Phil a tenner.

0:25:28 > 0:25:31And he is hoping headmistress Laura Brown can find a home for it.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- Hello, pleased to see you. - Good to see you. How are you?

0:25:34 > 0:25:36- Lovely to see you. How are you today?- I'm back at school.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39- I know. Welcome.- Who have they got for lesson?- Mrs Salisbury

0:25:39 > 0:25:42with our lovely Dragonflies, our reception class.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44I've got to tell you, I was never ever this well-behaved.

0:25:44 > 0:25:47- I bet you were.- No, no. I know I wasn't.

0:25:48 > 0:25:49Look what I've brought.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53I was kind of thinking you could use it in a school play or, you know,

0:25:53 > 0:25:56some sort of creative role, like that, really.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00For this age group children, we do a lot of role-plays

0:26:00 > 0:26:02and this summer, this classroom will set up a beach.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05What we are trying to do is really make the learning fun

0:26:05 > 0:26:07and really bring the learning to life for them.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10And this deck chair would be just brilliant.

0:26:10 > 0:26:14Well, I was hoping I might get, well, I don't know, £30, £35 for it?

0:26:14 > 0:26:15What's your best price?

0:26:15 > 0:26:17I'm going to give you my very best, one-off price.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Go on, you're very, very best. - Just for you. 20 quid.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23- Done. Thank you very much. - Thank you.

0:26:23 > 0:26:27Phil has doubled his money making a studious £10 profit.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29Now, are you sitting comfortably?

0:26:29 > 0:26:31An antique is a really, really old thing.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33How old do you think I am?

0:26:33 > 0:26:37- 132.- 151.

0:26:37 > 0:26:39- Well, I think you are all being rotten to me.- 64.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41- 11.- 11?

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I like you.

0:26:43 > 0:26:46I'm nice Phil and I am in competition with a man called

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- dastardly David.- Dastardly David.

0:26:49 > 0:26:50That's the very one.

0:26:50 > 0:26:53And I've got to sell my antiques for more money than him.

0:26:53 > 0:26:57- So, who do we want to win? - ALL:- Nice Phil.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00And they all lived happily ever after.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Yes, and while Jackanory Phil is in a moneymaking mood,

0:27:04 > 0:27:08he makes it two-in-a-row when he sells his broken 19th-century

0:27:08 > 0:27:11chair to antiques dealer David in Ledbury.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13- So, a tenner?- Yeah.

0:27:13 > 0:27:14A gentleman. Thank you so much.

0:27:14 > 0:27:19Making a fiver profit and doubling his money again.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21So, wily Phil is in the lead.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25But revving his engine and ready to fight back, it's our David.

0:27:25 > 0:27:29He has brought the vintage petrol can to show car enthusiast Indy

0:27:29 > 0:27:34and hopes he can motor away with more than the £15 he paid for it.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- This is one of the best man caves I've ever seen.- It's great.

0:27:37 > 0:27:40- It is great.- You clearly love your cars, Indy.

0:27:40 > 0:27:42I do. I like my classic cars.

0:27:42 > 0:27:44I think classic cars have a lot more character.

0:27:44 > 0:27:49Now, Indy, this is a fantastic man cave, but it could be perfect.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53What you need is a collection of man-tiques.

0:27:53 > 0:27:56This is a prime example of the kind of thing that you want.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58I have been interested in some vintage memorabilia

0:27:58 > 0:28:01and this looks quite good.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03So, tell me a little bit about it.

0:28:03 > 0:28:07Well, it's probably '40s or 1950s, something like that.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09It's been repainted, but I think you can see

0:28:09 > 0:28:11evidence of its earlier, original paint underneath.

0:28:11 > 0:28:14It has definitely seen better days, though, David.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16You're not going to put petrol in it, are you?

0:28:16 > 0:28:18Absolutely not because it's probably going to come out of the bottom

0:28:18 > 0:28:22- with all the holes. - Oh, I didn't spot that.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25It's a nice piece of memorabilia, isn't it?

0:28:25 > 0:28:28- I guess you have a price in mind. - Well, I was thinking 35.

0:28:29 > 0:28:33- I was thinking more of a tenner, really, David.- Ten?! Oh, my gosh.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36- Really?- Yeah.- Let's do it for 30.

0:28:37 > 0:28:42I'll tell you what I'll do. £20 and a blast in the Cobra.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46We will make it 25, plus a blast on a nice summer's day.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48£22 and a blast in the Cobra.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- And is lunch on you? - I'll do lunch as well.

0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Good man.- Why don't I give you a taste and start the car up now?

0:28:55 > 0:28:57- Fire the baby up.- Let's do it.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59- ENGINE REVS LOUDLY - Whoa!

0:28:59 > 0:29:03Goodness me, that's a noisy £7 profit

0:29:03 > 0:29:05and the promise of a summer joyride.

0:29:05 > 0:29:09He revs up his coffers even more when he sells his vintage basket

0:29:09 > 0:29:12to gift hamper businesswoman Emma.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Goodness' sake. Are you going to throw in a pie?

0:29:14 > 0:29:16- I'll give you a pie.- Marvellous!

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Selling it for £22.50,

0:29:18 > 0:29:22which makes just over £12 profit and two sales all.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26Staying on the home turf and under the cover of darkness,

0:29:26 > 0:29:30Phil has hatched a plan for his unusual piece of Indian silverware.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33Worcester isn't only famous for its sauce,

0:29:33 > 0:29:37but also its curry houses. And I'm here to see a man here

0:29:37 > 0:29:39and I hope that not only is he going to buy this off me,

0:29:39 > 0:29:42he's also going to tell me what it is.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51Wow, this is very nice.

0:29:51 > 0:29:53All this decoration is Indian, Asiatic in design?

0:29:53 > 0:29:55It is very traditional Indian design.

0:29:55 > 0:29:57- An overlapping relief, isn't it? - Yes, yes.

0:29:57 > 0:29:58- This is 19th century, isn't it?- Yes.

0:29:58 > 0:30:01So, this possibly would have been made of silver rupees or

0:30:01 > 0:30:03- something like that. - Yes. This is silver rupees.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06There's no hallmark on it. Is that meant to look like an Indian village

0:30:06 > 0:30:10- with these trees and these fronds here?- Yes, all this...

0:30:10 > 0:30:12The houses, this is India.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- This is the Middle East.- So, what would it have been used for?

0:30:15 > 0:30:17Back in the days, there was no aftershave, no perfumes.

0:30:17 > 0:30:21- So, what did they do with that? - So, they used to burn a tree,

0:30:21 > 0:30:24- a tree called oud. - An oud tree.- Yeah.

0:30:24 > 0:30:26Very, very scented, very expensive.

0:30:26 > 0:30:30It used to be used only in the king families, royal families.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32No-one else could afford this kind of thing.

0:30:32 > 0:30:34- So, is that something that would interest you?- Yes.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36- I do collect these.- You do?- Yes.

0:30:36 > 0:30:38It's getting better by the minute, this does.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Well, lucky old Foxy, without even knowing what it was,

0:30:41 > 0:30:43he has stumbled across a collector.

0:30:43 > 0:30:46I was hoping I might sell it for something around like £120,

0:30:46 > 0:30:48something like that.

0:30:48 > 0:30:49I'll give you 80 quid.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52What about if I split the difference with you?

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Deal. Done.- You done? You are a good man. Thank you very much indeed.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58That £100 deal gives Phil a £50 profit

0:30:58 > 0:31:01and he doubles his money again!

0:31:01 > 0:31:03That is not to be sniffed at.

0:31:03 > 0:31:06Feel like I could do with a bit of oud myself at the minute, actually.

0:31:06 > 0:31:09I have got some, actually. I use that quite a lot.

0:31:09 > 0:31:13- And you use this now at home? - Yeah, I use it instead of perfume.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16- Oh, that's lovely.- Yes. Very.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19And with the sweet smell of success tantalizing his nostrils,

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Phil moves onto his Edwardian napkin ring,

0:31:21 > 0:31:24selling it to silver collector Roddy.

0:31:25 > 0:31:27Why don't we say 21?

0:31:27 > 0:31:29Do you know what? I like the profit margin in that.

0:31:29 > 0:31:30- Well...- It's good, isn't it?

0:31:30 > 0:31:33That's a cracking return on Phil's £1 investment,

0:31:33 > 0:31:35making him a profit of £20 and

0:31:35 > 0:31:37pushing him further into the lead

0:31:37 > 0:31:39with four sales to David's one.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42Well, that's a really good mark-up.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45Who knows, I might even win.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47The Fox is hoping for victory,

0:31:47 > 0:31:51but as we've reached the halfway mark, how are the figures looking?

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Trailing slightly, David has done two deals

0:31:54 > 0:31:57and has a profit of £19.50 in his pocket,

0:31:57 > 0:32:00but in the lead, Phil has sold four of the seven items,

0:32:00 > 0:32:04racking up a solid starting profit of £85.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09So, ever-cunning Phil has sweet-talked his way into an early

0:32:09 > 0:32:13lead, but David is not going down without a fight. Oh, no.

0:32:13 > 0:32:17He is headed to Kent and he is ready turn the tables with his turntable.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20Right, well, I've come to see my friend Paul Rudd.

0:32:20 > 0:32:25Now Paul is a music producer and he lives and breathes music.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29So, of all people I know, this thing should be right up his street.

0:32:29 > 0:32:31The grafonola cost him £80,

0:32:31 > 0:32:35but can spin doctor David groove off with a profit?

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Now, you are big into music. You're passionate about music.

0:32:37 > 0:32:39I am indeed.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42This is state-of-the-art, transportable music,

0:32:42 > 0:32:47- circa 1920s, 1930s.- OK. - In remarkable condition.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50- It's surprising, isn't it?- Yeah. Something like this I'd expect it

0:32:50 > 0:32:52- to be a lot bigger.- Yeah.

0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Are you ready?- Yeah.- So, silence.

0:32:56 > 0:33:02RECORD PLAYS AT DOUBLE SPEED

0:33:02 > 0:33:07RECORD PLAYS AT NORMAL SPEED

0:33:10 > 0:33:12I'm speechless.

0:33:12 > 0:33:14This definitely would create a talking point.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16- The condition of it is brilliant. - It's actually remarkable.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20But I do actually like collecting old sort of music memorabilia

0:33:20 > 0:33:22things and something like this would just be great.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25These discs are actually thrown in.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27David Harper's best hits?

0:33:27 > 0:33:29Can I tempt you?

0:33:29 > 0:33:33What would something like this sort of be worth?

0:33:33 > 0:33:37If I said to you 160, I don't think you would go far wrong.

0:33:37 > 0:33:40I'd be happy, I'll say, 130.

0:33:40 > 0:33:42I'll meet you at 145.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45- 140 and you got a deal. - Good man.- Thank you very much.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Thank you, Paul.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50David is back in the race with that £60 profit

0:33:50 > 0:33:52and that is music to his ears.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55Phil is back in Gloucestershire, still in the lead

0:33:55 > 0:33:58and hoping his next sale will keep him on track.

0:33:58 > 0:34:02When I bought these, I knew I had got to find a train buff

0:34:02 > 0:34:04and here I have and here I am

0:34:04 > 0:34:08at Norchard Station on the Dean Forest Railway.

0:34:08 > 0:34:10The Fox is hoping train buff Chris will give him

0:34:10 > 0:34:12a profitable return on his £10 stake,

0:34:12 > 0:34:16but we'll need to steam in with a charming sales pitch.

0:34:16 > 0:34:18Now, you must be Chris. Good to see you, my friend.

0:34:18 > 0:34:20Let me just put it down.

0:34:20 > 0:34:23Now, that engine looks absolutely fantastic.

0:34:23 > 0:34:25- Yeah.- Are you a volunteer here?

0:34:25 > 0:34:27Yes, I'm a fireman here at the Dean Forest Railway.

0:34:27 > 0:34:30- Fireman, don't put out fires. - No.- Makes them.- Makes fires.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33- Yeah, so you are the shoveller.- Yes. - That sounds like hard work to me.

0:34:33 > 0:34:36- It is hard work at times. - My interest in this, really,

0:34:36 > 0:34:39is that as a child, I used to travel on a steam railway.

0:34:39 > 0:34:40It was fantastic, you know?

0:34:40 > 0:34:43And that probably just shows how old I am, really.

0:34:43 > 0:34:47Well, I bought these in a car boot, I know nothing about them.

0:34:47 > 0:34:48Go on, tell me what you think.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51My guess is they might be ten years old. Is that a fair comment?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53Yeah, that would be about right, I think.

0:34:53 > 0:34:56And now, here's a loaded question, what would they have cost?

0:34:56 > 0:34:59- £10, £15 each at the time. - Well, that's not too bad.

0:34:59 > 0:35:02- I was kind of hoping I might get ten quid apiece for them.- Ahh...

0:35:02 > 0:35:04I'd be thinking more 20, 25.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07- £25 is your best offer?- Yes.

0:35:07 > 0:35:09- I'm going to take that. There is a proviso.- And what's that?

0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Can I have a go on the train? - You are more than welcome.

0:35:12 > 0:35:14Oh, come on, then!

0:35:14 > 0:35:17Phil chugs further into the lead with that £15 profit

0:35:17 > 0:35:20and transforms from antiques ace dealer

0:35:20 > 0:35:21to locomotive fab controller.

0:35:21 > 0:35:25Yeah, FAB controller.

0:35:25 > 0:35:26TRAIN WHISTLES

0:35:28 > 0:35:30TRAIN WHISTLES

0:35:32 > 0:35:35And determined to continue on his route to victory, he sets sail for

0:35:35 > 0:35:40Malvern to show his vintage ship's compass to antiques dealer Jeremy.

0:35:40 > 0:35:44- Is 55 any use to you?- £55?- Yeah. - I'm going to shake your hand, sir.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much.

0:35:46 > 0:35:49Navigating his way to a £25 profit,

0:35:49 > 0:35:53that's six items sold to David's three.

0:35:53 > 0:35:56But now Devilish is taking his silver pocket watch

0:35:56 > 0:35:58to fashionable Savile Row.

0:35:58 > 0:36:02It cost him £30, but will tailor William Hunt think

0:36:02 > 0:36:04it's the next big thing?

0:36:04 > 0:36:06- Now, you've got to be William Hunt. - I am.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08- William, very nice to meet you. - Very good to meet you.

0:36:08 > 0:36:10I see you are just dressing up a suit here.

0:36:10 > 0:36:12- Nice to see the chain. - Yeah.- What's this all about?

0:36:12 > 0:36:15It started out as a piece of jewellery, we brought the chains at

0:36:15 > 0:36:17first and the guys wanted the watches to go with it.

0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Right.- So we brought them in and it just adorns the suit beautifully.

0:36:20 > 0:36:22These are sort of jewellery pieces.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25- I'd like something a bit more... - Something with a bit more pedigree?

0:36:25 > 0:36:27- Well, yeah. - As opposed to a brand-new one.

0:36:27 > 0:36:30- Something that's been around a bit. - OK. I can give you something

0:36:30 > 0:36:32- with pedigree. Does it matter if it works?- Would be nice.

0:36:32 > 0:36:36Right, it would be. That's a bit of a problem, then. Isn't it lovely?

0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Oh, it's got some weight on it. - It's solid silver, made in 1918.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42At the end of the period where pocket watches

0:36:42 > 0:36:44were made in big numbers.

0:36:44 > 0:36:46It's a connection to the past and if that could tell a story,

0:36:46 > 0:36:48by Gosh, could it tell one.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52The war ended in '18, it was made in '18, it could have been there.

0:36:52 > 0:36:54So, what are we talking?

0:36:54 > 0:36:5580 quid.

0:36:56 > 0:36:58I've got to haggle. I think 50 is about right.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01- I'll do 70.- Let's do what gentlemen do and meet in the middle.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03You know what we do. 60 quid. It is a pleasure.

0:37:03 > 0:37:05David has doubled his money,

0:37:05 > 0:37:07making £30 profit and he is delighted.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11Doesn't get much better than that.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14Back in Malvern, Phil is hoping to get into

0:37:14 > 0:37:17pole position with his final sale, the racing set.

0:37:17 > 0:37:19He found out it wasn't a collector's item

0:37:19 > 0:37:23and would be best sold as a starter kit, so he is taking it to show

0:37:23 > 0:37:27dealer friend Lee and his nine-year-old son, AJ.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30- So, you are not a train man. You are a car man.- Car man.

0:37:30 > 0:37:34That's the good stuff. Now, I've bought this at a car boot

0:37:34 > 0:37:37and I'll you what it cost me. It was £8

0:37:37 > 0:37:40and I've paid a pound and I've had it PAT tested.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42- There are the cars. What do you think of those?- Oh, cool.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Wow, they look good, don't they? Very sporty.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48Go on, then. You're the man.

0:37:48 > 0:37:49So far, so good.

0:37:49 > 0:37:53AJ might think it looks cool, but as everyone knows when buying

0:37:53 > 0:37:57your first car, you really ought to take it out for a test drive.

0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Does he let you win? - Not always.- Not always.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05- What do you reckon, AJ?- Good.

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- Do you like it?- Yeah.- We'll have some fun with this, won't we?- Yep.

0:38:08 > 0:38:12As long as he lets his dad win on the odd occasion.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15And it will get him away from his video games.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16What do you think it's worth?

0:38:16 > 0:38:21It's probably worth as much as AJ has got in his pocket.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25- Or in his piggy bank. What do you reckon?- Oh, he's got to pay for it?

0:38:25 > 0:38:26Oh, absolutely.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29If I ask you £19, is that going to be fair?

0:38:29 > 0:38:31I think that's fair, don't you?

0:38:31 > 0:38:34- Yeah.- I'm going to shake your hand, AJ. You are a gentleman.

0:38:34 > 0:38:36And Lee, thank you very much cos I've got a sneaky feeling

0:38:36 > 0:38:38- you might be paying for this.- I am.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40Well, at least Phil kept on track,

0:38:40 > 0:38:44he is £10 up and he is first past the chequered flag.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47But has he hung onto his lead in terms of profit?

0:38:47 > 0:38:50Now, with just his two-quid Elvis onesie left to sell,

0:38:50 > 0:38:54it is up to David to get this competition all shook up.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57He is back in London searching for the perfect buyer

0:38:57 > 0:39:00and my goodness me, this chap looks familiar.

0:39:00 > 0:39:02- Oh, you've got to be Jim.- David, hi.

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Now, how did I pick you out of a busy cafe like this?

0:39:05 > 0:39:07- It's the shirt, isn't it? - Yeah, yeah.

0:39:07 > 0:39:08There is a remarkable resemblance.

0:39:08 > 0:39:10So how long have you been an Elvis impersonator?

0:39:10 > 0:39:14Discovered Elvis when I was a little kid, first music I ever heard.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17And when I came out of school, didn't know what to do with myself,

0:39:17 > 0:39:19- I just thought, "Why not do Elvis?" - Right.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21So, I'm still doing it now 13 years later.

0:39:21 > 0:39:25What kind of value would an original jumpsuit have?

0:39:25 > 0:39:29- Anywhere between £50, maybe even up to £150,000.- Really?

0:39:29 > 0:39:33- So you know your stuff when it comes to jumpsuits.- I do, I do.

0:39:33 > 0:39:38- I want a competition here. Your jumpsuit versus my jumpsuit.- Cool.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42And it is time to say goodbye to Jim because tonight viewers,

0:39:42 > 0:39:45he is going to be Elvis.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48- AS ELVIS:- Hello, there. Sir, you wanted to speak to me.

0:39:48 > 0:39:53Wow. That is one cracking jumpsuit, I've got to say.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56- Thank you very much. Thank you. - Please sit down, please sit down.

0:39:56 > 0:39:57Is it worth a lot of money?

0:39:57 > 0:40:00Yeah, I'd say it's about 3,500.

0:40:00 > 0:40:04- Really?- Yeah.- OK, close your eyes. I'm going to roll the baby out.

0:40:06 > 0:40:08Feast your eyes on that!

0:40:09 > 0:40:11- Wow.- Wow.

0:40:11 > 0:40:13You know, I wear this on stage,

0:40:13 > 0:40:17- but I don't have anything to wear in bed.- So, a bed suit.

0:40:17 > 0:40:21- Now you are talking.- I like it for what it is. I can see it.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23- I can see the vision.- OK.

0:40:23 > 0:40:26Are you happy to give me £4 to take this baby away?

0:40:26 > 0:40:29- Yeah. Let's do that.- Done deal.

0:40:29 > 0:40:32Thank you. Thank you very much.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34Well, David avoided heartbreak hotel,

0:40:34 > 0:40:36making a final profit of £2.

0:40:36 > 0:40:38AS ELVIS: That's all right.

0:40:38 > 0:40:41Well, that is it. I am all sold up

0:40:41 > 0:40:47and what a way to end my final object sold to the king, baby!

0:40:47 > 0:40:49You old hound dog.

0:40:49 > 0:40:51Remember, Phil was in the lead at the halfway point,

0:40:51 > 0:40:53but has David overtaken?

0:40:53 > 0:40:55Before we reveal the winner,

0:40:55 > 0:40:58let's have a quick reminder of how much they spent at the car boot.

0:41:09 > 0:41:14including PAT testing, but who has made the most profit?

0:41:24 > 0:41:27- David, how are you? - This reminds me of the car boot.

0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Well, it's not quite as misty. - Well, it's wet, isn't it?

0:41:30 > 0:41:33- Tell me, that Elvis thingy... - Oh, the onesie.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36You loved that, didn't you, Phil? Tell the truth.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39- No. It was absolutely dreadful. - It got two quid profit.

0:41:39 > 0:41:41- But I sold it to the King.- Really?

0:41:41 > 0:41:43- I thought he was dead. - He is alive and kicking.- Uh-huh.

0:41:53 > 0:41:56I love my car sets, but I think I've turned.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58It is time to come out, really, for me.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00Oh, well, please.

0:42:00 > 0:42:02I've always been a car man,

0:42:02 > 0:42:04but now...

0:42:04 > 0:42:07- I'm into trains as well. I like them.- Oh, I'm sorry.

0:42:07 > 0:42:10I'm really sorry. No, no. I was thinking something else.

0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Come on, let's do this.- Profit wise, have we made lots of money?

0:42:14 > 0:42:17- I doubt it. One.- Two.- Three.

0:42:17 > 0:42:21- Whoa! - Oh, you got me, you double rat.

0:42:21 > 0:42:25- How has that happened?- I have no idea. Tell me about trains, then.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27Really, so what you do is you get on there,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30and it you get coal and you just keep chucking it in...

0:42:31 > 0:42:34Yes, Phil 'The Fox' Serrell is the today's winner

0:42:34 > 0:42:38and it was the trophy that sealed his victory.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Well, what a double surprise that was

0:42:40 > 0:42:44because I won by £20 and I don't know how on earth I did that

0:42:44 > 0:42:46cos I really thought David would win.

0:42:46 > 0:42:51And I've turned from cars to trains.

0:42:51 > 0:42:56He has pipped me by about £24, which doesn't sound much,

0:42:56 > 0:42:59but in the world of car boot, that's a lot of money,

0:42:59 > 0:43:01even though I bought some cracking items.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05The Elvis onesie, how could I have lost?!

0:43:05 > 0:43:09Yes, never fear, David will have the chance to fight back tomorrow

0:43:09 > 0:43:11when he takes on Phil at auction.
