0:00:03 > 0:00:06the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:06 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11Let's make hay while that sun shines.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:14 > 0:00:17will face a different daily challenge.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18I've got a heavy profit here.
0:00:18 > 0:00:22- Putting their reputations on the line...- Who's there?
0:00:23 > 0:00:27- ..they'll give you the insider's view of the trade...- Rrroar.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30..along with their top tips and savvy secrets...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32That could present a problem.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- ..showing you how to make the most money...- Ready for battle.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- ..from buying and selling. - Get in there!
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Coming up, Danny Sebastian plots an antiques invasion.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Wouldn't mind getting a bit of pottery, really,
0:00:48 > 0:00:51just to show Eric that I can play him at his own game.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Eric Knowles brushes up on his bronze-making.
0:00:55 > 0:01:00It's given me a good idea of all the work that's gone into producing it.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04And there's a singsong in the selling.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07# Sewing machine, sewing machine The greatest thing I've ever seen

0:01:11 > 0:01:14This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Willkommen, bienvenue and goede dag
0:01:32 > 0:01:36to this latest conquest of the collectibles from the Continent.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Our two valiant challengers have spurned the warmth of their beds
0:01:39 > 0:01:41in favour of an early morning stroll
0:01:41 > 0:01:45around the antiques market at Sint-Truiden in Belgium,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47all in the name of buying, selling
0:01:47 > 0:01:49and beating their opponent to a winning profit.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53Our first contender is a knight of the round Chippendale table,
0:01:53 > 0:01:55determined to throw down the gauntlet
0:01:55 > 0:02:00and be victorious in his quest to find the finest antique spoils.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04It's Eric "The Knowledge" Knowles.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06This is where you do battle.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Keen to thwart Eric's challenge is the prince of paraphernalia.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13He's the silver-tongued golden boy from Wellingborough,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Danny "Del Boy" Sebastian.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19Plenty of nice stuff here, plenty of nice stuff.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24They've each got £750-worth of their own euros to spend
0:02:24 > 0:02:27and all the profit goes to their chosen charities
0:02:27 > 0:02:29but who will be able to stake their claim
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and secure the best of today's bounty?
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Eric Knowles and Danny Sebastian,
0:02:35 > 0:02:39it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- Good middle of the night to you, cos it feels like it.- It is that.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46But I'm used to that, because I worked the markets,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- I've done the fairs.- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52But generally, by now, usually, I've sold up and gone home.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Looking at what I've seen,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- it looks like it's going to be a very nice fair today.- OK.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- There's plenty of vehicles, there's plenty of people.- Yep.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03You can always spot the bargains,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06cos they've got a red light flashing over the top of them.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Talk for yourself. You're a connoisseur in this game,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12so YOU can always spot... Shall I follow your lead?
0:03:12 > 0:03:14You can follow my lead and whatever you do,
0:03:14 > 0:03:16buy the thing next to whatever I buy,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18you'll probably make more of a profit.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21- I'll keep that in mind.- Good on you. OK.- Good luck.- Go for it.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25- Remember, we're batting for Britain. - That will do.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28So, on the surface,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30both our experts are presenting a unified front.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33But how long will this entente cordiale last,
0:03:33 > 0:03:38especially as Danny, it appears, isn't as confident as he let on.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41There's only one thing that's really worrying me
0:03:41 > 0:03:43and that is the communication lapse.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Obviously, they speak Belgian or Flemish here and I speak English.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49I haven't really got a clue how to speak Flemish,
0:03:49 > 0:03:52so I've just got to work with my pen,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55but I'm raring to go and I want to buy some good gear.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Yes, the pen is mightier than the Flemish phrasebook, Danny.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Now, "The Knowledge" Knowles knows this market well,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05so how's HE going to approach this campaign?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Got to be methodical cos there's a lot of area to cover.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13It's about the size of a football pitch and a bit bigger,
0:04:13 > 0:04:15so I'll have to do two or three circuits,
0:04:15 > 0:04:18just to make sure I cover everything.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22So, Eric plans to scout out the stalls before he spends his euros.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Danny, on the other hand,
0:04:24 > 0:04:26has already homed in on a potential purchase...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29..a milk urn.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32How much?
0:04:33 > 0:04:40- Ah, non.- It appears Danny's pen has been replaced by a calculator.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Oh, oh, oh, oh.- 20.
0:04:42 > 0:04:4625. 25. 25. 25. 25.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- 22.- 25. 25. 25.- 22.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53Well, no translation necessary, but just to be absolutely clear...
0:04:53 > 0:04:55..au lait...
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- OK.- OK
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Yes, unable to resist the sheer enthusiasm of the man,
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Danny settles on 25 euros for the urn,
0:05:05 > 0:05:07which converts into £18.52.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10So, is he happy with his first purchase?
0:05:11 > 0:05:17This is a lovely brass urn. I'd date it round about mid-20th century.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Very, very decorative piece and I find, nowadays,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23that people just buy them, they like them
0:05:23 > 0:05:26and this is quite a nice piece, being brass.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28They generally come in aluminium.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Going to milk this one, I tell you, for a good profit.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Yes, you'll be churning out the money, Del Boy.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Across the market, Eric is sticking to his word
0:05:37 > 0:05:40and is methodically perusing up and down every aisle.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42- 20?- For the two.
0:05:42 > 0:05:4420 for the two. OK, thank you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48But he's yet to spot anything he likes the look of,
0:05:48 > 0:05:51so he decides a change of tack is in order.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'm going to have to keep an open mind here
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and maybe go for the quirky.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00But, there again, my competitor, when it comes to quirks,
0:06:00 > 0:06:03he knows a good quirk when he sees one.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Yes, he does indeed.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09Ooh, what's that quirky little thing you've spotted there, Danny?
0:06:09 > 0:06:14Seems like a very early telephone. Um, it's got no digits on it but...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16HANDLE SQUEAKS
0:06:16 > 0:06:20You've obviously got to wind it to get your numbers out, I suppose.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Quite interesting.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23So, intrigued by the piece,
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Danny moves in to negotiate with the camera-shy vendor.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- How much for this old phone?- 95.- Ow!
0:06:30 > 0:06:32That's a low blow!
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Very low blow.- It comes from the mines.- From the mines?
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Very interesting. What sort of period? How old?- 1938.- 1938?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44- Roughly.- What's the best price you can do me?
0:06:44 > 0:06:47- 80.- 72.- No, no, 75.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- Is that your best?- Yes.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53# No need to ask He's a smooth operator... #
0:06:53 > 0:06:59Slick and smooth, 75 euros for the mining phone converts to £55.56,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02but was it a good call?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06I'm going to be very interested in finding out
0:07:06 > 0:07:08a little bit more about it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Something that I've not really seen before.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12The gentleman's telling me it was used in the mines.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15I suppose you'd be ringing and telling upstairs
0:07:15 > 0:07:17that the coal bucket's full.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Seems all intact as well, even the handles.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23It's got that nice firmness about it, that's just right.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25# Hey, baby I'm the telephone man... #
0:07:25 > 0:07:27With two buys to Eric's zero,
0:07:27 > 0:07:31it seems our Del Boy has a spring in his step.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Plenty of nice stuff here, plenty of nice stuff.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Whilst Eric has barely moved an inch.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40At the moment, I'm struggling to find anything
0:07:40 > 0:07:43that comes under the heading of "old".
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Right, aisle number two.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48But, as Eric wades ever deeper into the market,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51he soon casts his line and catches some pottery...
0:07:51 > 0:07:52Let me look at this.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59..reeling in a set of 19th-century plates with a price tag of 30 euros.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04- You know where they say, "What is your best price?"- It's 10 euros.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- 10 euros each?- Yes.- OK, excellent.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14No haggle, Eric? 20 euros is £14.81
0:08:14 > 0:08:17and he's finally landed his first catch of the day.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22Well, my two plates could well be relatively local,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25because I'm seeing a BK there, on the back,
0:08:25 > 0:08:27not very distinct, which tells me
0:08:27 > 0:08:32that they were probably made by Boch Keramis, quite a well-known maker.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34But what I love about these plates
0:08:34 > 0:08:40is that they show French/ Belgian humour.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44The top one shows a fisherman and he's hooked a whale,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47only because he's got a lady's corset
0:08:47 > 0:08:52and the stays in the corset were normally made from whalebone,
0:08:52 > 0:08:56so that's the connection there. And this one...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59My French is somewhat wanting, but the verse at the bottom says,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03"Oh, I do like a man who knows how to row his own boat."
0:09:03 > 0:09:06I think there's something in the saying there,
0:09:06 > 0:09:09"I like a man who knows where he's going in life."
0:09:09 > 0:09:11These plates, I don't think,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14were ever meant to see a meal of any description.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18They were made, primarily, to put on the wall.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22They're there for nothing more than amusement.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27So the prince of pottery has stayed in his area of expertise
0:09:27 > 0:09:29with his first purchase
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and it seems Del Boy has forgotten his early worries
0:09:32 > 0:09:34and his confidence is growing in bounds -
0:09:34 > 0:09:38so much, he feels spurred on to venture into Eric's turf.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Wouldn't mind getting a bit of pottery, really,
0:09:42 > 0:09:45just to show Eric that I can play him at his own game.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- But it's got to be a good piece. - Hmm, this will be interesting -
0:09:49 > 0:09:53taking on the ceramic lord himself at his own game.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00- Oh...- What's going on here? - Hey, get off my ground, you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- This is MY ground. - What are you on about?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I thought you were outside.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08When I go out, then you come in.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Now, knowing your Wedgwood from your Wallendorfer in this game is key,
0:10:12 > 0:10:17but it seems Danny's not averse to getting some inside information.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21I tell you what, though, I've just seen a lovely bit of Royal Dux.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- Can I have your expert opinion? I thought it was quite pretty.- Yeah.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- What's it worth?- I don't know. You're the expert here, mate.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31Yes, it's every man for themselves in this game,
0:10:31 > 0:10:34so while Danny finds out the price...
0:10:36 > 0:10:41600? Wow! That's a big figure. Bit too rich for me, I think, that one.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45..Eric leaves his rival to it and moves outside,
0:10:45 > 0:10:51where he snaps up a mantle clock for 35 euros or £25.93.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55I'm very pleased with my clock garniture.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00A lot of people might refer to it as being art deco.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04To be technical, it is sort of more art moderne.
0:11:04 > 0:11:10It's a style that finds its way in to mainstream art around about 1930.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16Black Belgian slate with marble facings. It's very chic.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19That purchase means our dealers are now level pegging
0:11:19 > 0:11:21at two items apiece.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25Around the corner, Danny is hoping it won't stay that way for long.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29This is a lovely sewing machine. I quite like industrial.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32And this is just a bit different. I've seen a lot of sewing machines.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35I used to collect for a company in England that was buying them
0:11:35 > 0:11:38for display purposes. but I've never seen one like this.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42It's for leather, I think. Probably about 1940s.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Made of cast iron with the foot pedal.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49But it's just a little bit different
0:11:49 > 0:11:52and, with that, got my name all over it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55- Tell me, sir.- What?- How much?
0:11:55 > 0:11:58- 200.- No, no.- Yes.- No, no.- How much?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03100? Oh, no!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05What do you mean, oh, no? Come on.
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- No, no, no, no. - How much? What's the best?
0:12:08 > 0:12:10- No, no, no.- Give me a good price.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13- 180 is the last price.- 150.
0:12:15 > 0:12:16All right, go.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- 150, I love that.- All right. - Have you tried to sell it before?
0:12:21 > 0:12:22Yes, I have, many...
0:12:22 > 0:12:26You've tried to sell it many times and no-one had bought it.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Yes, he was obviously waiting for you to come along, Del Boy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34That 150 euros converts to £111.11,
0:12:34 > 0:12:39making this sewing machine his most expensive purchase so far.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41That brings us up to the halfway point
0:12:41 > 0:12:43in this Belgian buying bonanza.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Time to find out who's been commanding and conquering
0:12:46 > 0:12:48and who's been waving the white flag.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55With a £750 kitty, Eric has taken his time
0:12:55 > 0:12:59and so far spent £40.74 on two items,
0:12:59 > 0:13:03leaving a little over £709 in his pocket.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11Danny spent fast and big, with three items costing £185.19,
0:13:11 > 0:13:15which leaves him almost £565 for the rest of the day.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's honesty time because I don't mind telling you, my friend,
0:13:21 > 0:13:25- I am struggling out there. - It's hard, isn't it?- It IS hard.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28But isn't that the challenge?
0:13:28 > 0:13:31Danny, I'm trying to feed off your positivity,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34but there have been times during this trawl
0:13:34 > 0:13:39that I've lost the will to live. But now I've met you, I'm recharged.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42Oh, well, that's what I didn't want to do!
0:13:42 > 0:13:44I want to keep all that energy for myself.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Have you found a few bits though?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48I have found a few bits but, like you say, it's difficult.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51It's looking for those big value objects
0:13:51 > 0:13:54that you think you're going to make some big money on
0:13:54 > 0:13:58and, so far, I've just been fishing and catching tiddlers.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Just snap up what you know you're going to make a few quid on.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- OK, all right. So onwards... - And upwards.- Carry on, number one.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- Bonjour.- Take the bridge. - Take the bridge.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Well, Eric's made no bones about it.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14He's been finding this market hard work
0:14:14 > 0:14:17and, having spent just a fraction of his budget,
0:14:17 > 0:14:20he's now on the lookout for his prize piece.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23When you're going round a place like this,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26you've really got to scan every stall, even though it looks
0:14:26 > 0:14:31as though the things on there are of no great consequence,
0:14:31 > 0:14:35because that's quite often where you find the hidden gem.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38In spite of thinking big,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41Eric's next purchase is hardly a bank breaker.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46He spends 10 euros on an art deco inkwell, which converts to £7.41.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Meanwhile, Danny is turning up the heat,
0:14:51 > 0:14:54spotting an early 20th-century blowtorch
0:14:54 > 0:14:56with a price tag of 25 euros.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01- But our Del Boy has a lower price in mind.- How much?
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- VENDOR LAUGHS - Combien?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Hmm, it seems the high five was obviously too low.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Perhaps a pen and paper haggle will work.
0:15:14 > 0:15:1618 and a smile.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19- 19?- 19.- OK.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:15:22 > 0:15:28A flash of those pearly whites helps Danny nab it for £14.07.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32This is a lovely little brass blowtorch.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36I'd estimate it to be about 1920s.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39Quite nice. I think it's absolutely fantastic, really.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43It's got some great writing on it. "Beware of imitations".
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Got a nice wooden handle. It's nice and tactile.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49You're going to want to pick it up and play with it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51It's a prime boy's toy.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Somebody's going to polish this up
0:15:53 > 0:15:57and bring it back up to sparkling condition. I love it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:01Danny's boy toy blowtorch nudges him back in the lead,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03with four buys to Eric's three.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Inside the market, old Knowlesy is still trying to spot a big-money buy
0:16:07 > 0:16:12and something catches his eye - a pair of early Victorian spectacles.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15Can I look in the...? Thank you very much.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21You've got to try them on, haven't you?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24Careful, Eric, these are no ordinary specs.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26They can reveal your inner hippy.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Yeah, baby!
0:16:30 > 0:16:32They're nice.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- They suit you.- They suit me, do they? Oh, thank you.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41- How much are they? - I'm asking 45.- 45.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- If I was to offer 40, would that be acceptable?- Yeah.- OK.
0:16:45 > 0:16:51So, Eric pays a thrifty £29.63 for the ocular objet d'art.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54It's nice to see that they're in their original carrying case,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56which is just carved wood.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59But what makes these spectacles interesting
0:16:59 > 0:17:03is the fact that they've got blue lenses.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Now, I can tell you these are not sunglasses.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Apparently, they're made for an eye condition.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13I think it's something called astigmatism,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16but I might have that bit wrong. But what I do know,
0:17:16 > 0:17:24is that these date to around about 1840 to maybe 1860.
0:17:24 > 0:17:29I'm now in search of a specialist spectacle collector.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And having spent just a tenth of his budget,
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Eric goes back on the prowl, but time is running out.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37As the stalls begin to shut down,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41the question is, will he get his big-money buy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Meanwhile, Danny is having a minor meltdown.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I hope I look worried cos I am. Time's running short.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Well, you won't find any more in there, Del Boy.
0:17:52 > 0:17:56So, in the race to the finish line, Danny is feeling indecisive...
0:17:56 > 0:17:58How much?
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- 10, 10 euros.- 10 euros.- Yeah.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- I might be back.- Yeah.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06..while Eric, who's been once round the track,
0:18:06 > 0:18:09has headed back to the vendor who sold him the spectacles
0:18:09 > 0:18:12and he has his eye on a 19th-century ornament.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17I've just found this bronze model of a racehorse.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20The first thing you obviously look for
0:18:20 > 0:18:22is to see if there's a signature.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24But nothing.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29He's just missing a screw and he'll be back on his feet properly.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34So, the price is 180. I'd like to offer 175.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38Is there any chance we could do that for 175?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44So, that's my biggest buy of the day.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47So, after chomping at the bit to find a big-money buy,
0:18:47 > 0:18:53Eric spends £129.63 and decides to call it a day.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55Danny, however, is not far behind,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58as he heads back to the mirror with a 10 euro price tag
0:18:58 > 0:19:02and, despite having over £550 still in his kitty,
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Del Boy's pleading poverty.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08- 10 euros.- Come down. I've run out of money.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Can you do 5?- Oh, it's good.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14And the deal is done. So, cue Danny's horse impression.
0:19:14 > 0:19:19Yes? Eh-eh-eh. That's made my day. That's made my day.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22And with that, Danny secures his final item,
0:19:22 > 0:19:27in the last throes of the market, for 5 euros or £3.70.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33It all got a bit desperate towards the end. I ran out of time.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37I bought this mirror. It's quite a simple one.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41It's got a nice brass frame on it and it's in the shape of a watch.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45It's not bevelled edge but it only cost me 5 euros.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Very, very cheap, really,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51so I don't think I'm going to have a problem selling this piece.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55And that brings us to the end of our foreign foray,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58so let's see what they spent in beautiful Belgium.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02Starting the day with £750-worth of euros,
0:20:02 > 0:20:08Eric purchased five items and spent £207.41.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Danny bought the same amount but spent a fiver less.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19So, with neither dealer managing to splash the cash,
0:20:19 > 0:20:22what will they make of each other's hauls?
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Danny, I've got to say that we've both come pretty good.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27We've come up trumps again, haven't we?
0:20:27 > 0:20:29That's got to be your favourite, that little bronze.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32Well, I'm hoping that I've backed a winner with that,
0:20:32 > 0:20:33if you pardon the pun.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36But racehorses and bronze racehorses
0:20:36 > 0:20:40- invariably find the right type of buyer.- Definitely.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I love the plates because they're Belgian,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46although they're lettered in French, but they're very humorous.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50I won't go into too much detail, but that's Belgian humour for you.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53In your case, I can see I'm dealing with a heavy metal man.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58- You definitely are. We rock! - Do you?- Yes. I think my...
0:20:58 > 0:21:00- That Singer, I like it. - It's a big one.
0:21:00 > 0:21:06- It's actually a leather sewing machine for shoes.- Is it?- It is.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09You'd know that because you're a Northamptonshire lad, aren't you?
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- That's right.- What's this big thing?
0:21:11 > 0:21:17This little baby here is an early Ericsson. It's a mine telephone.
0:21:17 > 0:21:18Oh, is it?
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Not quite sure how it worked but I suppose that was underneath
0:21:22 > 0:21:25or upstairs and they'd telephone through and said...
0:21:26 > 0:21:27- Oh, I see.- "Take the cart away."
0:21:27 > 0:21:31They've got to be very careful with electric sparks, so once it's in...
0:21:31 > 0:21:36- That looks like a very solid cast-iron cabinet.- That's right.- OK.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Insulated and all that.- Right. - What's your favourite lot?
0:21:40 > 0:21:42For me, my favourite lot...
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Well, to be frank, I love the spectacles
0:21:44 > 0:21:46because I saw the box,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I knew it should have had specs in and when they came out,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50they were that little bit special
0:21:50 > 0:21:55because they've got blue lenses and I think they use those
0:21:55 > 0:21:59for a form of astigmatism or it's some eye defect, either way.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00So, you get...
0:22:00 > 0:22:05For every, let's say 500 pairs that you get with clear lenses,
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- you'll get one with blue lenses. - Bit special then.- Yeah.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Listen, we've had a day out.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13We could be at home doing the ironing, couldn't we?
0:22:13 > 0:22:17- Look on the bright side of life. - I shall do.- OK.- Ciao.- See you.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Our pair of Belgian bargaineers must now head home to good old Blighty
0:22:25 > 0:22:27and turn their attention to selling.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Eric and Danny will scour the breadth of our great nation,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33from its metropoli to its manor houses,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37in search of profitable homes for all their foreign spoils.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39Each expert is driven,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42driven to win and make more profit than their opponent,
0:22:42 > 0:22:45with all their earnings going to a charity of their choice.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47So, back in Wellingborough,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50Danny is reflecting on his collectibles campaign.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54The real cream of the crop here, today,
0:22:54 > 0:22:58is this Singer cobblers sewing machine.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00A great thing, that.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05I've not seen any of these sewing machines with this base before,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07so it's just a little bit different.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Nowadays, if you look on the high street,
0:23:09 > 0:23:12you see that a lot of people have got old machinery
0:23:12 > 0:23:14in their shops as props.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16There's going to be a healthy profit on it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Then I've got my little Sievert blowtorch.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Sievert is the maker's name. It's got writing on it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It's even got "This is not an imitation".
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Great, I think it's quite fun.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Got to try and find a collector of blowtorches,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32or something of that description, for that piece.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34My milk urn - nice little thing, that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Quite commercial, whether someone wants to use them in the garden,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but I'm not going to use it in that field.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43I'm going to stick a cushion on the top and sell it as...
0:23:44 > 0:23:46..a seat, a stool.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Hmm, how very creative, Del Boy. Let's hope it pays off.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Don't forget, Danny will also need to find homes
0:23:52 > 0:23:55for his miners' phone and mirror.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59Over in Buckinghamshire, Eric is considering his Belgian bonanza.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Well, I'm now back from Belgium
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and I've brought a little bit of Belgium back with me.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08My horse, well, still need to find a stable for that, at the moment.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10It's a nice object.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13It's not a huge amount of money, but it's not signed
0:24:13 > 0:24:16and with bronzes, you do like to see a signature.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19Now, I've got to say that the spectacles,
0:24:19 > 0:24:21I was delighted to find those.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25I've always been interested in early specs and those are,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27having done my research,
0:24:27 > 0:24:33from around 1845 to maybe 1865, so relatively early.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36I've got an art moderne clock.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39You can say art deco, if you like, but I like to say moderne,
0:24:39 > 0:24:43cos these are round about 1930, 1935.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45In black Belgian slate.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And also Belgian is this wonderful, very heavy,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52masculine marble inkstand.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Now, these really need to go into
0:24:55 > 0:25:00a good and large art, dare I say it, moderne house.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03There are one or two in this area,
0:25:03 > 0:25:05so I'll be maybe knocking on a few doors.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08He'll also need to find a profitable home
0:25:08 > 0:25:10for his 19th-century Belgian plates.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15So, now is the time to hit the phones, the internet and the road.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19But remember, no deal is done until they've shaken on it
0:25:19 > 0:25:21and they're counting the cash.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24First off the starter's gun is Danny,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27who's found a micropub in his home town of Wellingborough
0:25:27 > 0:25:32where there's interest in the brass milk urn he bought for £18.52.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Danny planned to turn the urn into a stool,
0:25:35 > 0:25:38so time to reveal his expert upcycling.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Tell you what I've got...
0:25:42 > 0:25:43Stool.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46Ooh! Well, it was a nice idea,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49but will owner Martin appreciate all that effort?
0:25:49 > 0:25:52If it's a stand-up day, take the stool off, umbrella stand,
0:25:52 > 0:25:54especially if it's raining.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- Course.- Want to keep the door open, put it against the door, door stop.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Lovely, that.- No, I do like, it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03Are you going to like the price, that's the question?
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- Let's get to the business part. - Give us 75 quid.- No.
0:26:07 > 0:26:12- As you say, micropub, microprices. - Micropub, micromoney, eh?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- I don't believe that for a second. I've seen this place packed!- £25.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- Ooh, no, Martin.- I do like it but...
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You do like it, but you don't like ME.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Come on! 60 quid.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29- 40.- 5.- 40. Final offer.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Why are you being hard on me now?
0:26:31 > 0:26:35Oh, dear, is Danny's milk urn going to turn sour on him?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37- I like it but... - This is an adaptable thing
0:26:37 > 0:26:40that is going to fit into your shop greatly.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42How about meeting in the middle? £42.50.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- 45.- 42.50.- All the fours.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- 42.50, I'll take it. - I'm going to grab it.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Well, Martin was no pushover, but our stubborn salesman manages
0:26:53 > 0:26:57to milk a profit of £23.98, a nice little "urn-er"!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00That's my first sale done.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I did double my money but, to be quite honest with you,
0:27:03 > 0:27:08it was just a small purchase with a small profit. I need to up the ante.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11So, Danny's desperate to do better.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Meanwhile, Eric has made his way to Soho, London,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18and he's hoping to get up close and personal with his first buyer.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I'm here to meet a man who'll always see me right
0:27:21 > 0:27:23because he sells spectacles.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26Ah, good one, old boy.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30Remember, Eric paid just under £30 for the spectacles,
0:27:30 > 0:27:32but will framemaker
0:27:32 > 0:27:35and vintage optics collector Tom like what he sees?
0:27:37 > 0:27:41What is it about spectacles? There you are wearing a designer pair.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- Did you design those yourself? - These, yes, these are my own work.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46The beautiful thing about spectacles
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- is they're an amazing piece of design.- Yeah.
0:27:49 > 0:27:55- They also help you see.- I hope I can get you excited with my spectacles.
0:27:56 > 0:28:0019th century, steel, steel wire.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Oval lens with a blue tint.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Over the last 2,000 years, people have used
0:28:05 > 0:28:06all types of colours of lenses
0:28:06 > 0:28:10- to affect and ameliorate different medical conditions.- Right.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Blue was very popular in the 19th century,
0:28:12 > 0:28:16partly because there's that psuedo-medical element,
0:28:16 > 0:28:19but I think it became associated with status in society as well,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21particularly the legal profession.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24So, do you have a collection of early specs?
0:28:24 > 0:28:29Yeah, absolutely, so I'd love to add to my 19th-century metal collection.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33All these things are possible, Tom, all these things are possible.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38But if I was to ask for, say...£80 for those,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- where would you come at me from? - So, 80 seems a bit punchy to me.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45If I was looking at an auction or a collectors' fair,
0:28:45 > 0:28:49I'd be looking more in the range of £40 to £45.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51£55, do you think we could do a deal?
0:28:52 > 0:28:55- I think we could do a deal. - Good lad. Put it there.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58Eric certainly saw clearly on that deal,
0:28:58 > 0:29:02adding £25.37 to his profit pot.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06# Cos he's a dedicated follower of fashion... #
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Yeah, that's enough now. Time to get back to selling.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11Eager to build on his sales success,
0:29:11 > 0:29:13Eric rolls his wheels to Oxfordshire.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15He's brought his 19th-century Belgian plates
0:29:15 > 0:29:18to show French restaurateur Antoine.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Un and deux.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Parfait! - They're not actually French.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- Um, they're Belgian.- Very well.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Cos they've got the mark on the back for Boch, Boch Freres.
0:29:34 > 0:29:38But they are in very good order and I think, datewise,
0:29:38 > 0:29:42they're around about 1895, maybe 1900.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47So, would you be kind enough to translate into anglaise pour moi?
0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Avec grand plaisir.- OK.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- "Sports, fishing."- Yes?
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- "Amazing, wonderful."- OK...
0:29:57 > 0:30:01- "A deep-fried whale's bone." - I beg your pardon?
0:30:01 > 0:30:04- If it makes any sense to you. - Yes, yes, it does.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07- Then "corset". - Well, Eric seems to get it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11So, basically, we know that the corset
0:30:11 > 0:30:14- has got whalebone stays, you know? - Yeah.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18So, that is the connotation, yes?
0:30:18 > 0:30:24- OK, and this is, obviously, French humour.- It is indeed, yes.- OK.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Do they appeal to you, that's the thing?- They do indeed.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31They remind me of my grandma's house, where she's got a few -
0:30:31 > 0:30:34not those ones, sadly, so it gives me an idea.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39- So, it depends, of course... - OK. Well, come at me with an offer.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44Normally, I would spend about £20 for a present,
0:30:44 > 0:30:48so what about that one at 20 and this one at 30?
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- 20 and 30 - that's £50. - It is, indeed.- OK.- Cash.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I tell you what. Let me offer another deal.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00I'll offer you that at 25, OK, and I'll offer you that at 25.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- How does that sound? - Not quite the same.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05But it's the same money!
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It doesn't matter, at the end of the day.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Yes, with a joke befitting his plates,
0:31:10 > 0:31:14Eric is laughing all the say to the bank, pocketing just over £35.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19That sale nudges Knowlesy ahead with two sales to Danny's one.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22But not to be outdone, Danny is eager to prove
0:31:22 > 0:31:25his boots are made for walking with his next sale.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I'm here in Earls Barton,
0:31:27 > 0:31:30the historical town of the boot and shoe industry,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33to see Georgina. She has a village museum.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38I'm going to try and sell her my Singer cobbler's machine.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41Let's hope I don't get stitched up!
0:31:41 > 0:31:46Remember, this cobbling collectible cost Danny a whopping £111.11,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49so will he make his money back?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55- Good morning, Georgina.- Hello.- I see you're having a lovely look at it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57Yes, well, I want to know what you've got me into here.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Course you do. What do you think?
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- Yes, not bad, not bad.- Not bad?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06It's going to need a bit of rubbing up, a bit of conditioning,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08but I know a man that can do that. That's not a problem.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13How it works, you see - that revolves at 360 degrees,
0:32:13 > 0:32:16and that is why you can mend all sorts of things,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19because you put the leather behind
0:32:19 > 0:32:22and then you can stitch it and move it round.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- It seems like a great thing. - Yeah, it's a good bit of kit.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- I'm dreading this moment, to be honest.- Come on then.- Are you ready?
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- Yeah.- 330.- No! That's too much, Danny.- Too much?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Yeah, you got to go down a bit, I'm afraid.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38If you sing the nursery rhyme "The sewing machine, the sewing machine,
0:32:38 > 0:32:43"the greatest machine I've ever seen", I'll go up to 235.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47Yes, Georgina has a bizarre bartering technique, hasn't she?
0:32:47 > 0:32:52Well, this is a "Singer" sewing machine, but Eurovision this ain't.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54I'm a terrible singer.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57I can do a lot of things, but one thing I can't do is sing.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59A great big man like you with a big booming voice?
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- "Sewing machine, sewing machine." - Well, we'll have a...
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- 240, if I pass the test.- OK.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08# Sewing machine, sewing machine
0:33:08 > 0:33:10# The greatest thing I've ever seen
0:33:10 > 0:33:12# Sewing machine, sewing machine
0:33:12 > 0:33:14# The greatest thing I've ever seen. #
0:33:14 > 0:33:17- You're done. It's... That's brilliant, OK.- Will that do you?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- I'll let you off.- Oh, lovely. You deserve a...mwah.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Wow, talk about singing for your supper!
0:33:22 > 0:33:28But that performance brings Danny a tasty profit of £128.89.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32And that sale puts our duo neck and neck,
0:33:32 > 0:33:35but the singing salesman decides to get ahead
0:33:35 > 0:33:38by heading to the market town of Kettering in Northamptonshire...
0:33:38 > 0:33:40# Here comes the mirror man... #
0:33:40 > 0:33:44..where he sells his novelty mirror to vintage cafe owner Jade...
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- £18?- Yeah, go on then. - Give us a shake.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50..making a modest profit of £14.30.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54And with that, we're at the midway point of selling,
0:33:54 > 0:33:58so let's see whose profit is knocking it out of the park
0:33:58 > 0:34:00and whose sales are striking out.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04So far, Eric has made a profit of £60.56
0:34:04 > 0:34:07on the two items that he's sold,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10but Danny is way out in front, having sold three items,
0:34:10 > 0:34:15giving him a meaty £167.17 profit.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Now, we all know that Eric is the prince of pottery.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24Bronze isn't his forte, so to help him sell his equine sculpture,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27he's decided to buff up on his bronzeware.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31He's come to Oxfordshire to meet Hamish,
0:34:31 > 0:34:32an artist and master sculptor,
0:34:32 > 0:34:35to find out how much of a thoroughbred he's backed.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40- It's got some age.- It's lovely, isn't it? Late 19th century.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44It looks like it's been sand-cast
0:34:44 > 0:34:46because of the slight pitting on the surface.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49If you were lucky, you picked it up for a couple of hundred quid.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51What would it cost today to make something like that?
0:34:51 > 0:34:54We're looking at just over £1,000, just to make.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57So, an asking price, from my perspective,
0:34:57 > 0:35:03of, let's say, £200 to £250 should be considered to be reasonable?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- Very reasonable.- Good.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09So, Eric may have got a bargain in Belgium,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12but before he gets back to trying to find a buyer for the bronze,
0:35:12 > 0:35:14he takes the opportunity to find out
0:35:14 > 0:35:17exactly how this magnificent metal is cast today,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21starting with the design and modelling of the sculpture from clay
0:35:21 > 0:35:27and making it into a negative mould, which is fired and hardened.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31We're finally ready for the bronze pouring,
0:35:31 > 0:35:33which is where the magic happens.
0:35:33 > 0:35:38The metal is heated to 1,200 degrees and poured in to fill the mould.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41When a bronze is finished, it comes out the colour of a shiny 2p coin.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- Yes.- And what I now do is I patinate it.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47You're basically changing the colour
0:35:47 > 0:35:49and we use a mixture of heat and various different chemicals.
0:35:59 > 0:36:05It's given me a good idea of all the work that's gone into producing this
0:36:05 > 0:36:09and, by rights, I should be asking the best part of £1,000 for this.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12- I think so.- But I don't think I'm going to get away with that.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14- Listen... - Thank you very much for coming.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Well, £1,000 may be a bit steep
0:36:17 > 0:36:20but, as Eric only paid just shy of £130,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23he's still in a very strong position,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26and armed with all that extra info about his horse,
0:36:26 > 0:36:30is taking it to show an old antiquing acquaintance, Geoffrey,
0:36:30 > 0:36:32who owns an upmarket gallery in Belgravia, London,
0:36:32 > 0:36:36and specialises in bronze equine pieces.
0:36:37 > 0:36:42- And that is my little horse. He's.. - I'll put my glasses on for this.- OK.
0:36:42 > 0:36:46- He is what he is.- It's 19th century, isn't it? Quite squeaky in there.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Yeah, I like it. What do you want for this?
0:36:50 > 0:36:55Well, I see this maybe around the 300 mark but...
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Anything to do with horses, you're pretty well on the mark.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Well, that flattery, Eric, goes a long way, I have to say.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07You know, I do like it. It's not quite our thing, but I like it.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12I would be more tempted around the 250, you might push me to 260.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Geoffrey, I'm not going to push you anywhere.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20If you're happy around the 250 mark, that's good enough for me.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Are you sure? No, I'm happy with that. I think I've got a bargain.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27Listen, listen, I make a profit, you make a profit -
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- that's what this game's all about. - Everybody's happy.- Yeah.- Perfect.
0:37:31 > 0:37:37And make a profit he did - £120.37, to be exact -
0:37:37 > 0:37:40proving his bronze horse was a solid bet.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43Both dealers have sold their big-ticket items
0:37:43 > 0:37:48for a healthy profit and the competition is still wide open.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50On a roll, Eric goes on to sell his marble inkwell
0:37:50 > 0:37:54to an antique dealer in London for £50,
0:37:54 > 0:37:57earning himself a profit of £42.59.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00He then travels to Westerham in Kent
0:38:00 > 0:38:03with his art deco clock to meet Ashton.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09- I would go in at £80.- I think, at £80, I can take a chance.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Clocking up a profit of just over £54
0:38:12 > 0:38:15and, with that, "The Knowledge" is all sold up.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18While Eric's already crossed the finish line,
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Danny still has two items to sell and he's not hanging around,
0:38:22 > 0:38:27scooting north to the old Norman stronghold of Clitheroe,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30where he sells his 1920s miners' phone
0:38:30 > 0:38:32to Matt at his vintage emporium.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- Can I squeeze you for a bit more? - 90?
0:38:36 > 0:38:40- That will do.- Yeah?- Yeah, 90 quid will do.- Happy at that.- Yeah.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44So, Danny can phone home and report a profit of £34.44.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47And continuing his northern selling spree,
0:38:47 > 0:38:51Danny heads to the picturesque village of Whalley in Lancashire
0:38:51 > 0:38:53with his vintage blowtorch
0:38:53 > 0:38:57to show head chef Gareth at a local restaurant and deli.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02It cost Del Boy just over £14, but will he be able to cook up a profit?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07Now then, I came here one time before
0:39:07 > 0:39:12and I thought that creme brulee that I ate needed a bit more glaze.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I've got just the thing to put the job right.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18- Yeah, it looks just the ticket. - Ah, that's what I like to hear.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20It just looks the ticket, that, doesn't it?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22But I'm not sure if it works.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I thought, you know what, I'm not going to muck about with it,
0:39:25 > 0:39:28I'm going to leave it, but I think, in this kitchen, it...
0:39:28 > 0:39:33A great souvenir, that could... This is a special one, this is, look.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35- Looks good, doesn't it? - It certainly does.
0:39:35 > 0:39:39Right then, shall we see what needs to go in it and fire it up?
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I wouldn't bother with all that. I'm getting a bit...
0:39:41 > 0:39:44You don't want to be firing it and all that carry-on.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Are you not confident in your product?
0:39:46 > 0:39:48It's not to say I'm not confident in my product,
0:39:48 > 0:39:53it's just that you've got to appreciate, Chef,
0:39:53 > 0:39:55that this is an antique and I'm just...
0:39:55 > 0:39:58It's had a lot of wear and tear, it's had a lot of usage.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02- It's been in service longer than I have, that has.- Exactly my point!
0:40:02 > 0:40:05The only problem I have is that this runs on kerosene
0:40:05 > 0:40:07or something like that, or paraffin,
0:40:07 > 0:40:09and we can only really use butane in the kitchen,
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- with it being a food product. - Yes, but of course, you know, um,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16make a nice little, you know, showpiece or...
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- It would look nice in my kitchen, actually.- It can be yours.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- Right, if the price is right. - Exactly, exactly.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Let's talk turkey. - Yeah, talk turkey?
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- I prefer to talk goose - it's a bit more expensive.- Right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- Well, I want 50 quid anyway, Chef. - £50?
0:40:32 > 0:40:3345, for cash?
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- And a free creme brulee? - Well, can we go 48?
0:40:41 > 0:40:44- I'll go 48.- You'll go 48? Give us your hand here.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46- Good man.- Excellent.- Deal's done.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50Del Boy secures a delicious profit of £33.93
0:40:50 > 0:40:54and that sweet deal is Danny's final sale of the day.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57I couldn't resist it.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Mmm, so sweet. And a sweet profit also.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08With the moment of truth nearly upon us, who will be walking away
0:41:08 > 0:41:12with today's crown and who will be left weeping at the sidelines?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15First, a quick reminder of what they spent in Belgium.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21Our duo started the day with £750-worth of euros to spend.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26Eric backed five items, costing £207.41.
0:41:26 > 0:41:32Danny also picked up five purchases and spent £202.96.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36But now it's all about the profit.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39All the money our boys have made will go to their chosen charities
0:41:39 > 0:41:42so, without further ado, let's find out
0:41:42 > 0:41:45who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Well, Danny. It's good to go travelling
0:41:48 > 0:41:50- but it's good to get back home, isn't it?- It is, indeed.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54Tell me about your best buy and your favourite item.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57My best buy, without a doubt, was my cobbler's Singer sewing machine.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Very much your area, Northamptonshire.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Well, of course, yes, the Cobblers. - Yeah.- Lovely people, lovely profit.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- Yeah?- What was your best one?
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Well, profitwise, my little bronze horse came in at very good odds.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- It did, did it?- It did. - Galloped in and won.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17Well, it led by more than a head, let's put it that way, all through.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- Shall we see how we got on?- Why not? Come on!- OK, one, two, three...
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Oh!- Oh!- You pipped me! - Oh.- You pipped me to the post.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- By a smidgeon.- Well, that's enough.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- It's enough. Come on, let's go and resolve this.- Yes, indeed.
0:42:35 > 0:42:36Yes, Eric has won today's race
0:42:36 > 0:42:40and it was that little bronze horse that got him a photo-finish win.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43It's always good to win.
0:42:43 > 0:42:46It's going to put my competition on the back foot there,
0:42:46 > 0:42:50but in all fairness, I think it was miraculous that we both found
0:42:50 > 0:42:54enough interesting objects to buy on the day. It was a tough call.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57I wish I'd have squeezed a couple more quid out of my clients
0:42:57 > 0:43:02cos it was close but it just weren't close enough. Better luck next time.
0:43:02 > 0:43:06Yes, tomorrow, our pair get to fight it out in one last hurrah,
0:43:06 > 0:43:08as they go head-to-head
0:43:08 > 0:43:11in the contest to end all contests, the showdown.
