0:00:41 > 0:00:45Coming up, Danny is riding high.
0:00:45 > 0:00:46He's in first place.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Is Eric Knowles The Knowledge going to be able to catch him up?
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Eric shows us how to spot a genuine antique.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56But what makes this 18th-century is this decoration.
0:00:56 > 0:00:57It's called wrigglework.
0:00:57 > 0:01:02I don't want to be smug, but I think we're in for a nice little earner.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04And Danny nose dives.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I was thinking about £95.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08- SHE GASPS - How much?
0:01:08 > 0:01:11This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22HORN HONKS
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Welcome, one and all, to a very early morning in Essex.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Our fabulous foragers are up at the crack,
0:01:33 > 0:01:35ready to sniff out top-notch bargains
0:01:35 > 0:01:37and rummage for the relics.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Today, we're setting up stall at Marks Tey car boot,
0:01:40 > 0:01:43but it appears the forecast has scared off
0:01:43 > 0:01:46all but the hardiest of stallholders,
0:01:46 > 0:01:50so our experts of the eclectic will be battling even harder
0:01:50 > 0:01:51to find a hoard of goodies
0:01:51 > 0:01:54that will give them a winning profit when they come to sell.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59First up, it's the prince of pottery himself.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01He's the aristocrat of antiques,
0:02:01 > 0:02:04a man who knows his treasures from his trinkets.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Why, it's Eric The Knowledge Knowles.
0:02:08 > 0:02:14I'm just hoping I can wipe that smile off that man's face.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Yes, he's up against the Artful Dodger of dealers,
0:02:17 > 0:02:20the Wellingborough workhorse who can haggle until it hurts.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24It's Danny Del Boy Sebastian.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26I've got to get in there and have a look,
0:02:26 > 0:02:27see what they're all looking at.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31They've each got £250 worth of their own cash to spend
0:02:31 > 0:02:34and all their profits will go to their chosen charity.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38But who's going to be riding the gravy train of treasures
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and who's going to be asking, "Please, sir, can I have some more?"
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Only time will tell.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47So, Eric Knowles and Danny Sebastian,
0:02:47 > 0:02:51it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Good morning. Or, to be more precise,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- good very early morning. - Good very early morning, Eric.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- How are you, Knowledge?- I'm fine. I'm all right, thank you. Yourself?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Very well, thank you. Very well. - Good, good, good.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04And, I mean, are you a bit of a regular at car boots?
0:03:04 > 0:03:05- This is my home.- This is it?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08This is where I love to be, really - in car boots.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- This is Del Boy's natural habitat, is it?- Absolutely.- Is it?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Yes, and proud of it. - THEY LAUGH
0:03:14 > 0:03:17And why not? Because we've got £250 to spend,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21but just looking over our shoulder, it's looking a bit thin out there.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I mean, I've been here where there have been aisles
0:03:24 > 0:03:25and aisles of stalls,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29so we might have a bit of, you know, a challenge on our hands here.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Indeed. But, again, you just never know, do you,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34what you're going to find out there?
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It's not necessarily got to be a big boot to find good gear.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40You know, you can find good gear in the first one.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- But less of the rabbiting.- Yeah. - I see you've got your wellies on.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Yeah. And look at you. Sartorial elegance.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50You're wearing trousers that talk to you.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51Yeah, "Money talks."
0:03:51 > 0:03:55I've got to let the word be known - money talks and cash is king.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- We know that, especially at these sort of places.- Well, we do.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Well, let's just go out there and spend it.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02OK, I think you start at that end and I'll start at this end.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- And I'll meet you in the middle. - Yeah, I think it'll take
0:04:04 > 0:04:07- about five minutes. - THEY LAUGH
0:04:07 > 0:04:09# Consider yourself at home... #
0:04:09 > 0:04:13Ooh, Eric, it seems, is on the back foot for today's car-booter.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Not only is this Danny's preferred buying arena,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19but the low turnout has got The Knowledge knocking at his knees.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22So, what's his plan of action?
0:04:22 > 0:04:27My strategy today is to not give in to desperation.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29The smidgen of a profit - just buy it.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Yes, don't get desperate now, old chap.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36Meanwhile, Del Boy's not even going to think about what to buy.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39My plan of action? No deliberating.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Get in there, get some nice pieces bought
0:04:42 > 0:04:45because at this time of the year, it's slim pickings.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Mm. He's an eager beaver if ever there was one.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52It appears Danny's all pumped up and ready to get in there early.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54No deliberating Del Boy.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Um, I suppose what we've got here is a sprayer.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Like a pesticide sprayer or flowers, you know.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Made of brass. About 1920s. Nice little wooden handle.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I'm going to ask this chap how much it is, see if I can get a deal.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- How much money is it?- £20.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14- Can you do 15 and we've got a deal? - I'd like to.- You can do.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16I could be persuaded at 16.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- 16, we've got a deal. - Yeah.- Yeah, yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22I've just got myself a lovely, little, brass, 1930s sprayer.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26It's got branding, which is always good to have.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Cost me £16.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31I'm estimating to sell it for about 50 at least
0:05:31 > 0:05:33because it's really nice.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35I'm going to polish it up, make it shine.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's quite quirky, really.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40The only problem I've got with it is there's no hose.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Why is the hose not with it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Because, in the 1930s,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46these would have been made from natural rubber.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48It will have perished.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49It can go anywhere.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It can go to a gardener, it can go into a shop as a prop,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55it can probably even go into a household as a doorstop.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I've done well there.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00So, Danny's competent no deliberating strategy
0:06:00 > 0:06:02has his first buy in the bag.
0:06:02 > 0:06:07On the other side of the car boot, Eric is keen to get cracking.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09WELSH ACCENT: And over by there,
0:06:09 > 0:06:12has stumbled upon some Celtic kitchen clobber -
0:06:12 > 0:06:14a Welsh-crested pinny, look you.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- Oh, it's a Welsh one. A Welsh pinny. - Yeah, I think you need a pinny.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24- Ooh.- Yours for £5.- £5?- Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Oh, dear. Does it fit? - I think it's yours.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28- I think it's got your name on it. - Does it fit any size?- Yeah.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Well, I am part Welsh, actually. I think I'm one-eighth Welsh.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33Yeah, she's not falling for that one, Eric.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- You've got yourself a real deal there.- £5.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- £5 - that's your best price? - BOTH:- Yes.- Yes, OK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41- You look like the money honey. - Nice doing business with you.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Arrgh! Oh, dear me.- And, as the... HE CLEARS THROAT
0:06:44 > 0:06:47..money honey takes Eric's £5,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49his Welsh ware gets him off the mark.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52But for a man whose usual penchant is pottery,
0:06:52 > 0:06:55what made him go off-piste with this piece?
0:06:56 > 0:07:00There's something very regal about this apron.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Erm, I'm just thinking who I know who is Welsh.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I've bought it now. Cost me a fiver.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11I'll just have to get my thinking cap on.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Let's see... I wonder if they sell thinking caps here.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15No, but Eric does come across
0:07:15 > 0:07:17something he definitely wasn't expecting.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Ooh, hello. - Oh, hello, darling. All right?
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- ESSEX ACCENT:- Hello, darling. You all right?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23- Give us a kiss. - Oh, right. Oh, thank you.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- How are you?- Yeah, I'm fine. How are the children? All right?- Yeah.
0:07:26 > 0:07:31How indiscreet. Clacton-on-Sea, 1978.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- # Shake your booty, baby. # - SCEPTICALLY: Yes.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38Joking aside, this rummaging rascal needs to get his head down,
0:07:38 > 0:07:42as we all know pottery is the only love affair this man's ever had.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Speaking of which...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- How much is the jelly mould? - £10.- £10.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Best price?- Maybe eight.- Eight.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52I'd have settled at nine, but anyway, there you go.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- Well, I'll take nine off you. - HE LAUGHS
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Well, no, we've already agreed on eight, so...
0:07:57 > 0:08:00You're a good lad. Lovely. Lovely jubbly.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02Well, I'm just double-checking to make sure
0:08:02 > 0:08:05that I've got no chips and cracks that I missed. No, I haven't.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08It has been signed. Can't quite make it out.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'll check that out when I get it home.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12Looks to me to be Victorian.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17No, not bad. For £8, I think that was a pretty good buy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19So, with a pinny and a jelly mould in the bag,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22it appears old Knowles thinks there's money to be made
0:08:22 > 0:08:24in kitchenalia.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26And it seems Del Boy's got the same idea,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30as he pockets a vintage rolling pin for £8.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Kitchenalia is so in.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Everybody loves a bit of kitchenalia.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Whether they want to use it as a prop on their dresser
0:08:37 > 0:08:40or whether they want to use it to roll some pastry out,
0:08:40 > 0:08:42it's really in.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45So, I'm sure I'm not going to find a problem to sell this nice,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48ceramic, crackle-glaze, nut-brown,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50made-in-England rolling pin.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53I'm going to make plenty of dough with this.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Yeah, see what he did there?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Now, both our dealers have two buys in the bag.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Nevertheless, Eric feels like this car boot's not delivering today.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04Do you know what? I just want to spend some money.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07I'm just looking for something with potential.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10So, Eric begins the mission to blow his budget.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- He looks...- Good on you.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14What else have we got there? Hippopotamuses? No.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17OK, have a good fair.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18..and he looks...
0:09:20 > 0:09:22How much is it? Then I know.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24A tenner? Yeah, don't think me rude.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I've got to spend bigger or else I'm in trouble.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30..and, you've guessed it, he looks some more.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32No, not for me.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Well, with Eric struggling to unload some cash
0:09:34 > 0:09:37and on the hunt for that big-ticket item,
0:09:37 > 0:09:42our mischievous marauder Del Boy is only too happy to grease the wheels.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Loads of pottery. I know he loves it. You'll be able...
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Hey, charge him dear. - I will do.- Charge him dear.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Ooh, very crafty, Del Boy. Very crafty.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Unaware that his adversary
0:09:53 > 0:09:55is turning the stallholders against him,
0:09:55 > 0:09:58Eric has his eye on three ornate cut-glass bottles.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Could this be the big-ticket purchase he was after?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04This is where I want my wife with me.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- MAN CHUCKLES - Cos she'd tell me, you know.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Because these are very feminine things, aren't they?- They are.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12We're just mere mortals. We're only men.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You know, and they know. They know.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Even without Mrs Knowles, Eric's keen.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20So, you can have all three for 150. How's that?
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- All three for 150? - That's...that's a good deal.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27You're a gentleman.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28With no haggle necessary,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31this classy crystal is the most expensive purchase
0:10:31 > 0:10:34of the day so far for either dealer.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38Well, I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I was
0:10:38 > 0:10:43to find these three fabulous bottles with their original silver tops.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Erm, late Victorian, I think, most of these,
0:10:46 > 0:10:49but almost certainly English.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Probably made in Stourbridge,
0:10:51 > 0:10:55where some of the finest glass in the world was made
0:10:55 > 0:10:57certainly during the 19th and early 20th century.
0:10:57 > 0:11:01And it's interesting to remember that, today,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05we're so used to getting perfume in a ready-made bottle,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09but our great-grandparents would have something as grand as this.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14They'd have to take off the stopper and they'd have a little funnel
0:11:14 > 0:11:18and they'd have to decant their perfume or their cologne
0:11:18 > 0:11:19into the bottle.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23But one thing's for certain - at £150,
0:11:23 > 0:11:27the only place where these three bottles were going to be going today
0:11:27 > 0:11:29is home with me.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33So, Eric's extravagant spend takes us up to the halfway point
0:11:33 > 0:11:35in this banquet of buying.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Time to have a look at the scoresheet.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44From £250 of their own money, Eric's cooking on gas so far,
0:11:44 > 0:11:50spending £163 on three items, leaving £87 in his kitty.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56Danny has only bought two items and spent just £24,
0:11:56 > 0:12:00so has a substantial 226 left to play with.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03But before they get back to the boot,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05there's time to compare notes.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09- So, how goes it, Del? - Good.- Good?- Very good.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Very good?- Yes. You know, I looked at it this morning,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14I thought, "There's only a few rows.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16- "We're not going to find a lot of gear here."- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- But you did. - Yeah, there's plenty there.- Oh.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24- You seem a little bit down. - No, no, I'm so happy for you.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Oh, good, good. - Well, hang on a minute.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30I have to tell you that the first stand I looked at,
0:12:30 > 0:12:32I bought something.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34- Well, that's good, isn't it? - Oh, it was a good start.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I've been watching you. You've bought a fair few bits.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38- I've been watching you.- Have you?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- I think you're trying to be a bit smug here now.- No, no, no.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Far from it. I'll always be upfront with you, Del.
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- Don't you worry about that. - So you should do, Knowledge.- Yeah.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49You've got plenty of knowledge, you know it all,
0:12:49 > 0:12:51so there's no need for you to be smug.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- Have you been talking to my mother or what?- Don't you worry.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56Don't you worry about who I'm talking to.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57I know all about you.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Well, the real truth is, Danny, you do know my mother.
0:13:00 > 0:13:01I do know your mother.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Just be careful. I might try and sell her something.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- Hey, listen, take my advice - make sure...- BOTH:- You get cash.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- Ta-ra.- Bye-bye.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Curiouser and curiouser. Danny knows Knowles's mum.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Well, the world of wares is a small one. Hmm.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Now, while Del Boy's worried about spending his money,
0:13:18 > 0:13:23the only thing big spender Eric is concerned about is, well, Del Boy.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25You know, he gives the impression
0:13:25 > 0:13:27of being a little bit, you know, sort of...
0:13:28 > 0:13:32But he's...he's quite canny.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Yes, old Del Boy is certainly feeling confident today.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Get ready for a lesson in dealer's misdirection
0:13:38 > 0:13:40as he goes in for this foot warmer.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Have you got...have you got...? Hold on. I've got one here.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- "Made in China." Eh? - HE LAUGHS
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- How about that? - Is that what it says?
0:13:52 > 0:13:53Well, something...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56It's been a bit rubbed out, so don't quote me on it.
0:13:56 > 0:13:57No, better not, eh?
0:13:59 > 0:14:03"Made in France." French.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Let's cut to the chase. What's the best price you can do me?
0:14:05 > 0:14:06- I'll do 40.- Oh, no.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08- You've got to knock a bit more than that off it.- No.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10No? You've got plenty here.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13I mean, you'd make a profit on something else, wouldn't you?
0:14:13 > 0:14:15How about, um...?
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- How about we go 35 and my hand's ready?- I'll do 35.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- You'd do 35, wouldn't you? - Yeah.- Thank you very much.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21Yeah, I'll have a punt at that.
0:14:23 > 0:14:28The dealer told me this is, like, mid-19th century.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33I don't think it is. I think this is very early 20th century.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37It's a lovely carriage foot-warming box.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40It's made of brass, it's French,
0:14:40 > 0:14:44and, you know, you'd have put charcoal inside
0:14:44 > 0:14:46and the young lady would have put her feet
0:14:46 > 0:14:48on these lovely wooden slats
0:14:48 > 0:14:52and just let the heat rise and keep her little tootsies warm.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55And it's all there. The patina's lovely.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59You know what? I'd like about £100 for it.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Maybe even more because it is quite rare.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06It's cost me today £35.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09That is a bargain
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and I'm getting a really warm feeling about this.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14# Looking for some hot stuff, baby this evening... #
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So, our Danny's chuffed with his French foot warmer
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and predicting a hot profit when it's time to sell it.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Our boys are now tied at three items each,
0:15:22 > 0:15:27so Eric moves quickly on to a Royal Doulton toby jug for just £20.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Royal Doulton. Um, made in Stoke-on-Trent.
0:15:31 > 0:15:35When is this one? Probably 1970s.
0:15:35 > 0:15:40And it appears he's no mug when it comes to boot buying. Or is he?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Many moons ago,
0:15:42 > 0:15:48David Biggs modelled me for a Royal Doulton character jug
0:15:48 > 0:15:53and it supposedly has an edition of 1,500.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I think my mother bought 400 of them, actually,
0:15:56 > 0:15:59so that's probably why there aren't that many on the market.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03I wonder who bought the other 1,100, then, Eric?
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Anyway, he secures his fourth item
0:16:05 > 0:16:08and he's spent just over £180 of his budget,
0:16:08 > 0:16:11while Danny has spent just £59.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15With the clock ticking, Del Boy finds some Tinseltown treasure -
0:16:15 > 0:16:18a much coveted and classic Vertigo movie poster.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- What price do you have on this, please, John? Please?- £80.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25All the fives do it? I don't really want to go a lot more than that.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26I'm trying to help you here.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29I'll tell you what, before I go, 60 quid and that's it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- I'll be honest with you.- 60 quid. - I'm not trying to be hard.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34- No, I won't go a penny less. - Give us all the fives.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Come on. Don't be hard on me, now. - No, 60 quid and that's it.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Ooh, stalemate over a fiver. DANNY GROANS
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- Come on. Give us 55. - No, Danny, I can't.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- It's got to be 60 quid. That's it. - I'll meet you in the middle.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Who's going to blink first?
0:16:46 > 0:16:48Wait for it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Go on.- 55?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Hold on. Did you see that? TAPE REWINDS
0:16:52 > 0:16:55A handshake, then a price.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Go on.- 55?
0:16:58 > 0:16:59- Go on.- Oh, you're a good man.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02A clever ploy by dealer Danny.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05After a battery of bartering, a slightly dazed seller gives in
0:17:05 > 0:17:09to Danny's relentless haggling for this cinematic collectable.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11You know, as soon as I saw this poster,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I got a little bit queasy myself.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Vertigo - one of Alfred Hitchcock's most famous films.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22Well, I've paid £55 for this piece. It is great.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I think there's a lot of people who do collect memorabilia,
0:17:26 > 0:17:28film posters, that sort of thing.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31You know, there is a lot of demand for it out there.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33This is actually a later copy.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37Down here, I can actually see that it's 1996,
0:17:37 > 0:17:40so, you know, it's about 20 years old.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42It's still a very nice piece.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I think Alfred Hitchcock is very well known for his films
0:17:45 > 0:17:48back in the day and there will be a lot of people, I feel,
0:17:48 > 0:17:50that are going to be wanting to buy it.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52Yes, Danny's reprinted movie poster
0:17:52 > 0:17:55hitches him level to Eric on four items each.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Now, while our pair are neck and neck in this car boot chase,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03it would seem that Del Boy is definitely betting on himself
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- for victory.- And he's off.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07BUGLE CALL
0:18:07 > 0:18:09He's in first place.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Is Eric Knowles The Knowledge going to be able to catch him up?
0:18:12 > 0:18:15He's not. He's in second place. He's heading there now.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17The finishing post is not far. Oh, my gosh.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21It's going to be a win, this is, to Del Boy!
0:18:21 > 0:18:24And as Danny keeps himself entertained,
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Eric is running his own race for riches,
0:18:27 > 0:18:31and manages to score an 18th-century copper warming pan for £8.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Well, I homed in on this one
0:18:34 > 0:18:39because once I saw the decoration on here,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42I did recognise it for being 18th-century.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45And this decoration is all put on by a hammer.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47It's called wrigglework.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I actually like this strap that's been riveted on.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's an object which has been put to very good use.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00And, you know, you're talking about somewhere around about 1750,
0:19:00 > 0:19:02maybe 1780.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06You know, if I was looking at this 30 years ago,
0:19:06 > 0:19:09I would have been lucky to have bought this
0:19:09 > 0:19:13for less than £150.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16So, how the mighty fall. I just bought it for eight.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20So, I think - and again, I don't want to be smug -
0:19:20 > 0:19:24but I think we're in for a nice little earner.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27And with that, Eric decides he's all bought up.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Just in time too, as the car boot is coming to a close.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Meanwhile, Danny has been mesmerised by some magnolias
0:19:34 > 0:19:38and spent £9 on this 1950s picture.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42I've just got this print from a really shy dealer.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45It is by the king of kitsch Vladimir Tretchikoff.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Now, you might know him
0:19:47 > 0:19:51for a portrait that he did of The Chinese Girl,
0:19:51 > 0:19:54which went under the hammer a couple of years ago
0:19:54 > 0:19:56for almost £1 million.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59I think these still lives that he also did
0:19:59 > 0:20:03is going to be coming up and worth its weight in gold in time to come,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06so keep your eyes out for all Tretchikoffs
0:20:06 > 0:20:10because they really are a piece to really pick up.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15And with that final tip, today's car boot comes to an end.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19So, let's check out how much has been spent in Essex.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23From the £250 they had to play with,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Eric bought five items and made a big dent in the budget,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30spending £191.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Danny also bought five items, but spent marginally less -
0:20:33 > 0:20:36£123 in all.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40So, after a day at the car boot, time to compare and contrast.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Well, Danny, I think it's fair to say
0:20:42 > 0:20:44that we've been having similar thoughts
0:20:44 > 0:20:47while we've been out there doing battle
0:20:47 > 0:20:49because we've both got a bit of metal
0:20:49 > 0:20:52and we've both got a bit for the kitchen.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But where we part company
0:20:54 > 0:20:58is that I've gone for a very upmarket, Welsh pinny
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and you've got some very interesting pictures.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03- Iconic.- OK.- Great.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05I've had a good day today. A really good day.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08I see we're going to make plenty of brass.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Yes, we have as well, and that is what I think it is.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13It's for warming your feet in a coach or a car.
0:21:13 > 0:21:15- You've got it. - Yeah? Very smart as well.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18They don't call you Knowledge Knowles for nowt, do they?
0:21:18 > 0:21:21No, no, no, listen and learn because I've got something here
0:21:21 > 0:21:24that warms your bed, so I'm very happy with that.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- What a lovely bit of glass. - They are lovely.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29- Cut-glass crystal, is it? - Cut-glass.- How old?
0:21:29 > 0:21:33They're all around about 1880, 1890.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35- Nice, early pieces. - So, it's nice quality, silver tops.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38A bit quirky, but for my money...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- BOTH:- Hitchcock. - HE LAUGHS
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Hitchcock.- I know. I mean, that is a great poster, isn't it?
0:21:44 > 0:21:46- Oh, absolutely fantastic. - Yeah, you can't...
0:21:46 > 0:21:49In actual fact, I saw you walk past it.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I thought, "There's no way Eric's going to leave that."
0:21:51 > 0:21:54The Knowledge did. I was straight in, bought it.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57Well, you know, it was a very early start.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59- Remember, we're all on a learning curve.- Oh, yes, indeed.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01I mean, I can't forget that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03How can I forget that when I'm alongside The Knowledge?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06He's lulling me into a false sense of security.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08- I wouldn't do a thing like that. - Oh, no, no.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Once I've heard your patter...
0:22:10 > 0:22:11If you're giving it to me,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14you'll be giving it to your buyers and that's what worries me.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- I'll agree with that. - HE LAUGHS
0:22:20 > 0:22:22Our pair of eager boot bargaineers
0:22:22 > 0:22:26must now turn their attention from purchasing to profit.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Using any and all avenues,
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Eric and Danny must now scour the four corners
0:22:30 > 0:22:34of this green and pleasant land in search of suitable buyers
0:22:34 > 0:22:37hoping to accumulate the biggest profit,
0:22:37 > 0:22:40all of which will go to their chosen charities.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42So, down in his Wellingborough workshop,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45how is Del Boy feeling about his car booty?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I didn't actually spend a lot of money on the items I bought,
0:22:49 > 0:22:54but the most money I spent was on my Alfred Hitchcock Vertigo poster.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58It's not original, but it's still a cool thing.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01I'm really happy with my Tretchikoff print.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04It is a steal at £9.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And personally, he is an artist that I really, really like,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11so I'm not going to have a problem, I don't think, selling that.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Anybody who's a bit funky, anybody who wants, you know,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19one of Tretchikoff's prints or is a collector, I'm your man.
0:23:19 > 0:23:25But the real cream of what I found was this foot warmer.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27I think I'm going to be trying to find a museum,
0:23:27 > 0:23:29something of that sort of description
0:23:29 > 0:23:32where they're going to really appreciate this bit of kit I've got.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36I don't think there's really going to be a great, big challenge
0:23:36 > 0:23:38in getting rid of these items.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42The challenge is going to be whether or not I make a big profit.
0:23:42 > 0:23:43Indeed.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46And remember, Danny also has his brass sprayer
0:23:46 > 0:23:49and retro rolling pin to help his profit pot along.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Eric has returned to his warren in High Wycombe
0:23:52 > 0:23:54and has done some research
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and there's good news about his jelly mould.
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Well, it might look like something of a mixed bag,
0:23:59 > 0:24:02but it's not a bad collection.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04The jelly mould is great
0:24:04 > 0:24:07because I've deciphered the name Brownfield on there,
0:24:07 > 0:24:10and on top of that, it's actually got a date on it
0:24:10 > 0:24:15because it's marked fractionally 11/87 -
0:24:15 > 0:24:18November 1887.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Not a bad year.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23In fact, Golden Jubilee for Queen Victoria, that year.
0:24:23 > 0:24:29It's wonderful to find an 18th-century copper warming pan
0:24:29 > 0:24:30at a car boot.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34And then, finally, my three lovely,
0:24:34 > 0:24:40English, cut-glass, silver-topped, Victorian perfume bottles.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Erm, I paid reasonable money for them,
0:24:43 > 0:24:47but I hope to make a reasonable profit.
0:24:47 > 0:24:49So, all in all,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53it was worth getting out of bed at four o'clock in the morning.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Yes, the early bird catches the worm.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00Eric also needs to find buyers for his Welsh pinny and golfers jug.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Our dealers must now get down to the nitty-gritty,
0:25:04 > 0:25:06whipping out their little black books
0:25:06 > 0:25:09and hitting the phones, the web and the road,
0:25:09 > 0:25:12traversing the breadth of Britain,
0:25:12 > 0:25:15from rolling countryside to bustling city,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18in order to find the right buyers who'll pay the right prices
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and lead them to a winning profit.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25But remember, no deal is sealed without the shake of a hand.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Eric is first to kick off his selling
0:25:28 > 0:25:31and is sticking close to his home in Buckinghamshire,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35starting at a 17th-century coaching house in West Wickham,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39bringing his 18th-century warming pan to show landlord Ray.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41It owes him £8.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46This is the sort of object that, back in the 18th century,
0:25:46 > 0:25:48there'd be no shortage of in your place.
0:25:48 > 0:25:53- And it was the duty of the maid... - Yeah.- ..to run it across the bed.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55When the steam stopped coming off,
0:25:55 > 0:26:00then you knew full well that the sheets were nice and dry.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05I know for a fact that this area here is 18th-century.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08The actual handle itself is probably Victorian.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Probably been replaced.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I'm hoping that you've taken to my warming pan.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Well, yes, I have, actually,
0:26:16 > 0:26:19because we've had a few highwaymen through here before.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- Oh, have you? - THEY LAUGH
0:26:21 > 0:26:25I'm not here to do highway robbery. I'm here to do a decent deal.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Erm, and as you're mine host,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31I want to keep in your favour, but...
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- So, where can we get a figure? - Well, you come at me.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36You tell me what you're thinking in terms of
0:26:36 > 0:26:40and let's just see where we go cos I won't drag this out.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- I'm thinking of around about £40.- £40?
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Life's too short. Put your hand there. £40.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49You've got yourself an 18th-century...
0:26:49 > 0:26:52- Thank you very much, Eric. - ..copper warming pan
0:26:52 > 0:26:54with a bit of a Victorian handle.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57This will be happy in our restaurant by tomorrow morning.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59With a price tag of 450 quid on it?
0:26:59 > 0:27:01No, no, but whatever.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04So, life's too short for a haggle, it would seem,
0:27:04 > 0:27:08but this highwayman does come away with a warming £32 profit.
0:27:08 > 0:27:12Almost tripling his outlay, it's a strong start from Eric.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17But our Danny's certainly not sitting on his thumbs.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19He's headed all the way to Preston.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21He's visiting Becky,
0:27:21 > 0:27:24the owner of a vintage decor and antiques shop
0:27:24 > 0:27:28with a Tretchikoff print that cost him £9.
0:27:28 > 0:27:33- Hi there.- Hello, Becky.- Hello. - How are you?- All right. How are you?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Wet.- Wet. I know. It's not so good out there, is it?- How are you?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- Yeah, nice to see you. - Always a pleasure.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- SHE LAUGHS - What have you got for me?
0:27:41 > 0:27:43Never you mind what I've got for you.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45"What have I got for you?" Let's have a look.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49This is a print of one of the most iconic painters
0:27:49 > 0:27:52of the 1960s, 1970s - a Vladimir Tretchikoff.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54I think he's a bit more known, really,
0:27:54 > 0:27:57for his portraits of Asian women, but...
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Yeah, I thought I've seen those. - You've seen them, haven't you, yes?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Yeah, yeah, I have. They do sell well.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04We've had one that's been a bit similar.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06You don't have to tell me. You don't have to tell me.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- I know that. - SHE LAUGHS
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- They do sell well. I know that.- Yeah, yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- And you'll find that with the price I'm going to give you.- All right.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- Yeah, go on.- Give us 55 quid.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Ooh. Would you take about 40?
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- When you say about 40...? - Well, yeah, 40.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I could do it for 40.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- You'd like to have a deal at 40, would you?- I would, if you could.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Cor, I tell you what, that beautiful smile.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33- I'm really trying hard. - I'm going to put my hand there.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35- You're really what? Hold on. - THEY LAUGH
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Yeah, perfect.- £40? - Yeah, I can make a bit on that.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40- Well, that'll do me. Thank you very much, Becky.- Lovely.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42Oh, you old charmer.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46And that sale puts £31 into Danny's profit pot.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Oh, my gosh! Licence to print money.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54Indeed. And that licence also takes him to a community cafe
0:28:54 > 0:28:56in Brockley, in South London,
0:28:56 > 0:28:59where he sells his vintage rolling pin to Jackie and Robin
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- to use in their apprentice scheme... - 12?- 12?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- I reckon, yeah, 12. - Are you happy with that?- Yeah.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- Yeah, I'm happy with that, yeah. - That's good.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11..making a small profit of £4.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14So, Del Boy's leading by two sales to one,
0:29:14 > 0:29:16but not to be outdone,
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Eric has picked up a whiff of eau de profit
0:29:19 > 0:29:23as he heads to Covent Garden with his most expensive boot-sale buy.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Well, I'm on the scent of a trail that's leading me
0:29:26 > 0:29:29to one of Britain's oldest perfume houses.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33I'm there to do a deal on my three silver-topped perfume bottles.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38I'm going to make sure that this is a deal not to be sniffed at.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43Yes. Remember, the bottles cost him £150.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46- Hello. Robin, I presume. - Hello. Yes, welcome.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48- Nice to meet you.- You too. - Very nice to meet you.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52So, I believe your perfume house goes back to the 1870s.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55That's right. We were established in 1870.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57William Penhaligon -
0:29:57 > 0:30:00a fantastic, flamboyant perfume creator
0:30:00 > 0:30:02who was looking to make a name for himself.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04And, oh, boy, did he make a name for himself.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Well, no disrespect, but these bottles,
0:30:06 > 0:30:09they're quite utilitarian, aren't they?
0:30:09 > 0:30:10They're there to do a job.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15Erm, mine, I'd like to say, are out there to impress.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20I had you in mind because, from the point of view of display,
0:30:20 > 0:30:25it really doesn't get any better than those three bottles.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30So, they all date to within a few years of one another.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32This one, I know, is 1887.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36As for the actual makers, one cannot be absolutely certain,
0:30:36 > 0:30:38but the glass cutters here
0:30:38 > 0:30:41are almost certainly working in Stourbridge.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Erm, and that was where, you know,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47some of the best cut glass in the world was ever made.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49And when we're talking about glass,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51you're really talking about lead crystal.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- They're the best of English. - Best of English.- Yes.- Wow.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58So, my question is,
0:30:58 > 0:31:01do you think they're going to be of interest to your perfume house?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03They might possibly be.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Well, I take the "might"
0:31:06 > 0:31:09as leading to "all depending on the price".
0:31:09 > 0:31:13If I started at 350, where do you think you might be coming in at?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Ooh, 350?
0:31:15 > 0:31:18Maybe 200, 250?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Erm, if we get...
0:31:22 > 0:31:24Do you think if we got nearer the three
0:31:24 > 0:31:27that we might be able to talk turkey, as they say?
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I think we could. 280. 300.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33- I could...I could possibly stretch. - I like the three.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So, if we could do a 300 on those three bottles,
0:31:35 > 0:31:37we've got ourselves a deal.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- OK, deal.- Put it there.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Excellent. Fantastic.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Incredible. It appears three is the magic number.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49And with that one sale, Eric pops a mighty £150 into his pot.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Well, yes, I doubled my money,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56but those bottles were worth every penny.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Our dealers are now tied on two sales each,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02but eager to get ahead,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Danny's not had time to polish his brass sprayer,
0:32:05 > 0:32:09so keen is he to sell it to antiques dealer John in Rossendale.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- I was hoping for 25. - Hey, I think I'll take that deal.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16There's a lot of elbow grease needed to bring that up to shine.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19That sale earns Danny just £9 profit,
0:32:19 > 0:32:21and with that, we reach the halfway mark
0:32:21 > 0:32:22of our selling stage.
0:32:22 > 0:32:25It's time to find out who's conquering Everest
0:32:25 > 0:32:27and who's clinging to the precipice,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29so let's take a look at the scoreboard.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34So far, Eric has sold two of his five items
0:32:34 > 0:32:38and made an impressive £182.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Danny, however, has sold three of his five,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44but banked just £44.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47So, Knowledge Knowles is king of the cash flow at the moment
0:32:47 > 0:32:51and showing no signs of wobbling on his selling adventure.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Yes, it's no trifling matter for Eric
0:32:53 > 0:32:56as he hotfoots it to a pottery and painting cafe.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58Well, I'm in an very windy Amersham on the Hill,
0:32:58 > 0:33:00in leafy Buckinghamshire.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I'm here to meet Carrie.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Now, she runs a place where children can have an encounter
0:33:05 > 0:33:08of the ceramic kind.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Ooh, this sounds like the perfect place
0:33:10 > 0:33:12for a young Eric Knowles wannabe.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Remember, his jelly mould cost him £8.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Hello, Carrie.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19- Hello. Lovely to meet you. - And you too.- Thank you.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Do you ever, bearing in mind that a lot of your clientele
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- are of a sort of limited size... - SHE LAUGHS
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- The little ones. - ..do you ever offer them
0:33:28 > 0:33:30jelly and blancmange at any stage?
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Pizzas, cakes, blancmanges, jellies -
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- everything is welcome in here. - Oh, excellent.
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- You could, if we can do business...- Mm-hm.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41..actually offer the service of actually moulding your jelly
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- and moulding your blancmange if... - SHE GASPS
0:33:44 > 0:33:47..if you go with one Victorian jelly mould.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49So, listen, we're both kindred spirits
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- cos, you know, you know me - I'm a pottery man.- Absolutely.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56- I mean, it's a tactile thing.- It is. It's quite weighty, isn't it?- It is.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01- And this is the date. Look, it's actually 11/87.- Oh, right.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04So, that pot was made in November 1887
0:34:04 > 0:34:08when children would have been eating jelly and blancmange
0:34:08 > 0:34:13to actually celebrate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15Of course, yes.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Well, there it is.- How much? - I'm open to offers.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21Well, I thought maybe around about...
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- ..£25, something like that.- Ooh.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27What's the budget going to stretch to? Come on.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Would you take 20 for it?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32I would because, you see, I've bonded with you...
0:34:32 > 0:34:36- Oh, thank you. - ..as a pottery person. £20.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39- Wonderful.- Yeah.- Thank you. - That's the best £20...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- There we go.- ..you're going to spend on a pot, OK?- Indeed.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43We'll have to see what my jellies turn out like.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Well, it's in perfect working order.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47So, Eric closes a sweet deal
0:34:47 > 0:34:49as he finds the perfect fit for his jelly mould
0:34:49 > 0:34:52and takes £12 into custody.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Well, that was a good sell in every sense
0:34:57 > 0:35:01because I don't live too far away from here
0:35:01 > 0:35:06and the minute I know that they've got blancmange on the menu,
0:35:06 > 0:35:08I'll be in there like a flash.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Well, while Eric's got pudding as well as profit on the brain,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14Del Boy needs to pick up the pace and get selling.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17He might be down on cash, but he's far from out,
0:35:17 > 0:35:20as he trucks on with his treasure.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I'm in Bacup. I've come to see Paul at his vintage shop.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26I've brought along my Vertigo poster.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Let's just hope he doesn't start going all dizzy
0:35:28 > 0:35:30when I give him the prize.
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Hmm. Danny paid £55 for this cult classic.
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Always a pleasure. I've brought this lovely Vertigo poster for you.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42- Is it something that...?- Never mind about the pitter-patter. Crack on.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44That's what I like about Northern folks -
0:35:44 > 0:35:47they don't muck about, they're straight in at the jugular.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Yes, it seems there's no messing about with Paul,
0:35:50 > 0:35:53but will he go psycho at Danny's asking price?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56I was hoping to get about 100, 110 -
0:35:56 > 0:35:58that sort of figure - for it, really.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03No. Not 110.
0:36:03 > 0:36:04How about 100, then?
0:36:05 > 0:36:07HE SIGHS
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Still a no. I can tell. I see that great, big huff and puff
0:36:11 > 0:36:15and that breath you took before you...
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Right, I'll hit you with a figure. 75.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I did want a little bit more than that, Paul, really.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26Won't be much more, but go on.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31- Could you do 90? - No, but can meet you halfway at 80.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- You know what, Paul? I'll have a deal at that.- Thank you very much.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Yeah, thank you very much. - Cheers. Thank you.- Enjoy it.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39So, Paul was the man who knew too much
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and showed Danny the rear window
0:36:42 > 0:36:44with a profit of £25.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49Now, with Del Boy on four sales to Eric's three,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52The Knowledge swiftly levels the scores in Lincolnshire
0:36:52 > 0:36:56as he sells his Welsh pinny to arts and crafts hobbyist Pauline
0:36:56 > 0:37:01for an incredible £40, netting a healthy profit of £35.
0:37:01 > 0:37:06He then heads to Stoke Park in Buckinghamshire with his final item.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Now, this is something of a mecca
0:37:09 > 0:37:12for the golfing fraternity in this part of the world
0:37:12 > 0:37:14and I'm here to fraternise
0:37:14 > 0:37:20in the hope that I'm going to find a permanent home on the 18th green
0:37:20 > 0:37:23for my Royal Doulton golfer.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Very swish indeed, Mr Knowles.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29He's meeting food and beverage manager Tariq
0:37:29 > 0:37:31with a golfing tankard that cost £20.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- Hello. Tariq, yes? - Good afternoon, Eric.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- Hello. Lovely to meet you. - How are you? Nice to see you.
0:37:38 > 0:37:40The golf club itself, I mean,
0:37:40 > 0:37:42how many members are we talking about there?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Well, we're talking about 4,000 members now.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47Well, I'm hoping to make it 4,001 members,
0:37:47 > 0:37:50although, in this case, he's inanimate,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- so he's not going to be crowding the green.- Fantastic.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57But this is my Royal Doulton character jug
0:37:57 > 0:37:59and they don't make them any more.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03I just thing that he would look quite resplendent in your clubhouse.
0:38:03 > 0:38:04This is absolutely fantastic.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08As you know, we've got a lot of character around the building
0:38:08 > 0:38:11and I think I know just the place where he can go, actually.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14So, the only thing we have to discuss is his green fees, don't we?
0:38:14 > 0:38:17Oh, yes, I think we're going to have to negotiate about that one.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22- OK.- It is a great piece, I'll give you that much. 37.50?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25I'll go to, and I think my standing place,
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- will be £39.- £39?- £39.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Excellent.- There it is. - £39 it is.- OK.- Fantastic.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Champion, as they say up north.
0:38:33 > 0:38:34Ooh, champion.
0:38:34 > 0:38:38Eric sinks a profit of £19 on this old pro
0:38:38 > 0:38:40and he thinks it's a very fitting home.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46Well, I reckon I've done the old golfer a bit of a favour
0:38:46 > 0:38:49cos let's face it, he's going to spend the rest of his days
0:38:49 > 0:38:52in palatial splendour.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55And that marks the end of Eric's pitch for profit,
0:38:55 > 0:38:57as he's all sold up.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Danny is still on the road
0:38:59 > 0:39:02and heading to Bedfordshire with his final item in hand -
0:39:02 > 0:39:06his turn-of-the-century carriage foot warmer that cost him £35.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08He's behind in the profits game,
0:39:08 > 0:39:12so will Liz, the co-owner of a carriage hire company,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14help him trot to a lead?
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Hopefully, there's a place for my foot warmer
0:39:17 > 0:39:20somewhere in this carriage hall.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23I mean, where would it normally sit?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26It'd be for the customer. Normally, the ladies.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28And it would sit on the floor is here.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- Then in this particular carriage... - Sit on the floor. Yes.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33..you could pull the apron up and that would help keep the heat in.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Keep the legs warm, keep the ankles warm
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- when your feet are getting warm with the warmer.- Yeah.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- I've brought this to the right place.- You have, yes.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42What sort of money are you talking?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Well, I was thinking in the region of...
0:39:45 > 0:39:47It's very decorative. It's a nice thing.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50The handle's got this little... It's all there.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52- I was thinking about £95. - SHE GASPS
0:39:52 > 0:39:57- How much?- £95.- Oh, no, I think that's quite expensive.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59What sort of price were you thinking, Liz?
0:39:59 > 0:40:00I was thinking more 60.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Ooh, Liz. Cor, you've knocked 30% off straightaway over that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- SHE CHUCKLES - You're a hard lady.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- I am a hard lady. - I knew you were a hard worker,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12but I didn't think you were a hard lady to go alongside it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14How about...
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- ..75?- 70.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- Deal.- OK.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Yes, Liz was a tough negotiator,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25but everyone knows never look a gift horse in the mouth,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28as Danny ends the day with a profit of £35
0:40:28 > 0:40:33and all sold up, he's only too happy to enjoy some horseplay.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Who wants a big, modern car
0:40:36 > 0:40:39when you've got a beautiful horse and carriage to ride in?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42- Makes me want to get married. - SHE LAUGHS
0:40:44 > 0:40:48And with that, our dealers' road trip for riches is at an end.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's time to see who's whipped up a storm of wealth
0:40:51 > 0:40:53and who's made a piddling profit.
0:40:53 > 0:40:57Before that, let's remind ourselves of how much our dealers have spent.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Both our dealers started the day with £250 to play with.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08Eric was the big spender, pocketing five items costing £191.
0:41:08 > 0:41:13Danny also picked up five purchases, but spent just £123.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15All that matters now is profit.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18All of the money that Danny and Eric have made today
0:41:18 > 0:41:20will go to the charities of their choice,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23so, without further ado, let's find out who is today's
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28- How are you doing? - Not so bad. How are you?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30- HE CHUCKLES - What about car boots?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33I mean, you start virtually in darkness, don't you?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35And you're there when the sun comes up.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It's quite romantic, in a sort of strange way.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Well, that depends if you're going looking or if you're going working.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Yeah, we were working that day, weren't we?
0:41:42 > 0:41:44We were working and it was a hard slog.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Despite all that slogging, how did you get on? What was your best buy?
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Well, my best buy would have been my foot warmer.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- I've sold it to a person who's got a carriage hire company.- Oh, right.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57So, I went out for a ride and a cloppety-clop
0:41:57 > 0:41:59and all the rest of it. Very nice.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01- Fair bit of profit as well.- Good.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03- What was your favourite piece? - Do you know what?
0:42:03 > 0:42:07I think it was probably my copper warming pan, you know,
0:42:07 > 0:42:09because I managed to repatriate it
0:42:09 > 0:42:12to a 17th-century sort of coaching inn near where I live.
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Well, seems all like good fun.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- It was and it's all in the selling, isn't it?- It's all in the case.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- So, shall we...? - Shall we have a look? Yes, why not.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24- Are you ready?- I'm ready.- OK.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- ERIC CHUCKLES - Eric, you've well beat me this time.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31I knew it was hard, but I didn't think it was that hard.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35- Well spotted, those perfume bottles. - Hey, somebody's got to win.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Somebody's got to win.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Yes, Eric The Knowledge Knowles is today's king of the collectables,
0:42:40 > 0:42:43slingshotting his way past his opponent
0:42:43 > 0:42:45to take a comfortable victory.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Well, it was a win and without wishing to gloat,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49it was a convincing win,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52but I think it was the sweet smell of success
0:42:52 > 0:42:56provided by my three perfume bottles that won the day.
0:42:56 > 0:42:57I don't believe it.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Car boot's my territory and I got thrashed.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03Don't you worry. There's still a bit of life left in me yet.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06Yes, Danny gets another pop at the prize tomorrow
0:43:06 > 0:43:10when he and Eric head to an auction in Somerset.
0:43:10 > 0:43:15I know who's bidding against me. Del Boy running me up.
