0:00:06 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I think I see a bargain.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Each day, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:14 > 0:00:16will face a mighty challenge.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Oh, yeah!
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Putting their reputations on the line.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Ready for battle.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24They'll give you the insider's view of the trade.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I'm a big boy, I'm a player.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38..from buying and selling.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40You've got to be in there like a whippet.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44Coming up, it's all too much for Chuko.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46- £10 on the ladder. - £10 on the ladder?
0:00:46 > 0:00:48HE SIGHS
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Eric finds an item from a far-off land.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54If you want to know where it was made, here's a bit of a giveaway.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58That mountain is Mount Fuji, because this is Japanese.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01And Chuko gets a cracking deal.
0:01:01 > 0:01:02JOINTS CRACK
0:01:02 > 0:01:03I'm in one piece!
0:01:03 > 0:01:06This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25Hello, and welcome to a contest of fast and furious foraging
0:01:25 > 0:01:26with a pair of boy racers,
0:01:26 > 0:01:31each hoping to cross the chequered flag with the biggest profits.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34In pole position is an absolute classic.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36He's seen newer models come and go,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38but he's still got enough fuel in his engine
0:01:38 > 0:01:40to leave his rivals for dust.
0:01:44 > 0:01:45A quitter never wins.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47And a winner never quits.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51And hoping to steal his thunder and overtake on the inside lane,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54a young London dealer who drives home profit after profit.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00The Hat's come north, all the way to a car booty.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I don't lose. Porkpie? I'll win the pie.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05They're at Twin Oaks car-boot sale in Chesterfield
0:02:05 > 0:02:10with £250 of their own money to spend on the finest booty,
0:02:10 > 0:02:13which they'll need to sell on to accumulate profits
0:02:13 > 0:02:15for their chosen charities.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Their engines are revving and their eyes are on the road.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19But who will take home the trophy?
0:02:19 > 0:02:20Let's find out.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- Hey, Chuko.- Morning, Eric, good to see you.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26- North of the border.- Chesterfield.
0:02:26 > 0:02:28Round Chesterfield way, yes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It's a big car boot, I'll tell you.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Are you a booter?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34I'll give it a go. It's not really my thing.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35I love coming to boots, you know,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37you never know if you're going to find anything.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41As of yet, I've never found anything really of any great merit.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42- That bodes well for me.- Yeah.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Well, there's an awful lot in the way of glad rags here, anyway,
0:02:45 > 0:02:46so you should do well there.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48But you've got £250 to spend.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- I'm going to try my very best to spend it.- There's no other way.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Give it a go, spend, spend, spend!
0:02:53 > 0:02:54THEY LAUGH
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Here we go.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57THEY LAUGH
0:02:57 > 0:02:59How very immature!
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Still, neither of our brave battlers is sounding wildly optimistic
0:03:02 > 0:03:05about the chances of untold car boot booty.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08But with hundreds of sellers over this spacious site,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10there's certainly a lot of ground to cover.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So, what is Eric's plan of attack?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16This is one very big car boot.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19So my tactics are going to be orientation.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23In other words, I'm going to take each lane one at a time.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27I'm not going to be distracted, I'm going to stick to that plan.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Eric is employing a machine-like, methodical approach.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34So how will Chuko be dealing with today's challenge?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Car boots aren't my usual hunting ground.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38I don't feel that comfortable here.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41My strategy's going to be buy quickly.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Look, see, buy.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46I need to find something of quality and of age.
0:03:46 > 0:03:47Hopefully, it's here.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Yes, Eric and Chuko are two very different players of the game.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Slow and steady versus super speedy.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57And Chuko's plan of attack leads him to his first potential purchase -
0:03:57 > 0:03:59an old projector.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I've seen this, it looks really interesting to me.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05If it works, great.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07If it doesn't, it's a lovely decorative item.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Looking at the style of it, got to be mid-century.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13- Hiya.- I need to find a price on this, if I can.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- 15 quid.- Is it working? - It's untested as it is.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20We've not had time to put anything into it yet.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21But if we don't get rid of it today,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23then we'll go back and do something with it.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26I'm going to help you out. Can we go eight?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Meet me in the middle at ten. - Do me nine.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31Just so that'll give me that little bit of edge.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- Got to be ten.- Go on, then. Thank you very much.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37So Chuko snaps up the projector for £10.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41So, really happy. First buy, gone in, strategy -
0:04:41 > 0:04:43look, see, buy.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Good piece, lovely patina, aged, heavy, solid 1950s piece.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Got to do a little bit of research when I get back.
0:04:52 > 0:04:53Very happy.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Chuko flies off with his first purchase,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59while Eric is still plodding along.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01With the sun shining and the temperatures rising,
0:05:01 > 0:05:03he's in no hurry.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04So I'm practising what I preach.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06This is the first aisle.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08I'm going to zoom it.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, you say zoom it, Eric...
0:05:16 > 0:05:20We're doing a methodical up and down, up and down, we'll be back.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22OK. I know just how he feels.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Alas, poor old Eric.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Whereas over yonder the young upstart, Chuko,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30is already on to his second stall.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34Love this. Philips infrared health lamp.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37In such good condition with the box.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39This is something, if you had an ailment,
0:05:39 > 0:05:42you'd shine that light on your back.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44- Hiya.- Hi.- I like this.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46What sort of money as it?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- I've got 15 on it. - You've got a good stall.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50I like the stuff. You've got really good stuff.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Is there anything else that you've got that's interesting?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55OK, this looks good.
0:05:55 > 0:05:5818th-century sovereign scales.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01It's by Wilkinson of Ormskirk.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03It'll weigh two things. It can weigh a sovereign.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Put that over to weigh the half sovereign.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Lovely. Looks expensive.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12There you go, you put it on there...
0:06:12 > 0:06:14flip it over, half the weight.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- What sort of money? - Well, I've got 120 on it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18How does £100 sound?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20That's a lot. I'm going to go in...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Hard. I'm a dealer, I need a dealer price.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26So you've got to help me out. Let's do a combined price.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27So, for the two, I'd say 70.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I might need nearer 100.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33100? Let's say 80 and you've got your money.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- Go on.- Let's say 90.
0:06:36 > 0:06:3785.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Brilliant, well done.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Chuko picks up his second and third items,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43pushing him yet further into the lead.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Look at this. Infraphil health lamp.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Infrared, so what these were basically used for,
0:06:49 > 0:06:54you've got a bit of pain, which I often have, stick it in the wall...
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Put it on your back and you're good as new.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00This is in remarkable condition but it's electrical and it's old,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02so we have to get it PAT tested.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05I've got something mid-century, firmly in my comfort zone.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09I've got something 18th-century, a little bit off the beaten track.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10A sovereign scale.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Well-crafted, it's got a maker's mark.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16I don't think Eric's going to be very happy with me.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18This isn't mid-century!
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's a real antique and I've bought it!
0:07:20 > 0:07:23Right up Eric's street, I'd have thought.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25But, unfortunately, it landed in my street.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27And it's mine. Very, very pleased.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Profit there. A weighty profit there.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Yes, at a weighty price.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Chuko has now eaten £95 from his budget and has bagged three items.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41Eric really does need to catch up and get spending
0:07:41 > 0:07:43if he wants to win this race.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Which may explain why he's drawn to a racing bike.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Dawes is a good name, isn't it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- You tell me. You're obviously a bike man.- Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Who do I know that wants a bike?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Have you restored it? - No, it's as found, that.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58It is as found, is it?
0:07:58 > 0:08:00That's a £60 bike.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Is that a ladies' bike?- It is, yeah.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04So... Cor, who do I...?
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I need a lady that needs a bike.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10He does appear to be struck down with indecision.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12HE SIGHS
0:08:12 > 0:08:14My brain's working overtime.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18We don't have all day, Eric. Chuko's already got three items!
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I like it, but I'm thinking hard.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I've got to think of a lady who lives in a certain part of the world
0:08:24 > 0:08:28where she's safe to cycle, cos I worry about cyclists all the time.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- OK, it's not the money issue, it's where do I go from here.- OK.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I normally work on the basis if I see it, I like it, I buy it, but...
0:08:35 > 0:08:39OK, well, you have seen it and you appear to like it, so...
0:08:39 > 0:08:41OK, all right.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Listen, I'm going to live dangerously, thank you very much.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Ladies and gentlemen, Eric finally buys the bike
0:08:49 > 0:08:53for the asking price of £60 and not a haggle in sight.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57So I've got myself what is described as a town bike.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00I don't think you'd be doing the Tour de France
0:09:00 > 0:09:01on anything like this.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05In all truth, it's a beautiful piece of engineering.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08The fact this is 1985, well, you know,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11it's getting close to a sort of classic.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I haven't got a clue at this moment in time who I'm going to sell it to.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19What I do know is that I could well be racing into the lead
0:09:19 > 0:09:22with this bike when it comes to making a profit.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24Hope you're watching, Chuko.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27Well, he's still lagging behind in the buying,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29although he does come closer to catching up
0:09:29 > 0:09:34when he also picks up a large photograph of Rome for £5.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Ooh, it's signed!
0:09:36 > 0:09:37It's signed down here.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Michael...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Angelo.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43That's it, must be one of his early photographs.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Yes... I'm not sure about that. But what did he see in the picture?
0:09:47 > 0:09:51Well, I've never seen anything quite like this before,
0:09:51 > 0:09:56but it is, obviously, a photograph on canvas of The Eternal City.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Yes, we're speaking of Roma here.
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Why did I buy it? Because it would look so right, possibly,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06possibly, in an Italiano restorante.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09I think that was £5 pretty well spent.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12So, with Eric now properly in the game,
0:10:12 > 0:10:14let's see how our racing pair are getting on.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21From a £250 budget, Eric has bought two items and spent £65,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25leaving him with £185 to spend.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28Chuko is ahead with three items for a total of £95,
0:10:28 > 0:10:32meaning he has £155 left.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37And so our pair of boy racers take a pit stop to sound each other out.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- What do you think? - There's an awful lot to go for.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- There's a lot here. - I've just scratched the surface.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Have you done any buying?- I've done a bit. I'm quietly confident.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47There's treasure in those hills, I think.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50- Oh, you think so?- Maybe. - Good.- How about you?
0:10:50 > 0:10:51I feel really happy for you.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I've parted with a few pounds, yes, that's for sure.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Cards close.- We always keep our cards close to our chest, don't we?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00We've got to. You're very competitive, I've noticed that.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- You think so?- I didn't think that was your personality,
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- but now we've been in this, together.- You're mistaken.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07I'm just calm, cool and collected.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08There you go, all right.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Come on, come on. - Can I have my hand back?!
0:11:12 > 0:11:13THEY STRAIN
0:11:13 > 0:11:15ERIC LAUGHS
0:11:15 > 0:11:18He thought I had a £5 note in my hand.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Come on now, boys, play nicely.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24There's no shortage of competitive spirit today,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27as both Eric and Chuko are clearly in it to win it.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29So how does Eric rate his chances
0:11:29 > 0:11:31now he's seen the whites of his opponent's eyes?
0:11:31 > 0:11:34I think he's doing all right. He's being a little bit coy.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40But you can't hide those lying eyes, if you're eagle-minded.
0:11:42 > 0:11:43Yes, if you say so, Eric.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45It seems the blistering heat
0:11:45 > 0:11:48is sending our battling buyers doolally.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52You start off happy, joyful, smiling.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56And then you end up desperate in a very hot, bothered situation.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00That's where I am now. But I will find gold.
0:12:00 > 0:12:01Oh, dear.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04The Hat's breakneck approach seems to be taking its toll
0:12:04 > 0:12:07as the day gets hotter and hotter.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11And the search for shade has Eric donning a hat as well.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15I've just purchased this hat because it's getting pretty hot here.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17And if you're watching, Chuko,
0:12:17 > 0:12:21you should know better than anybody else if you want to get ahead -
0:12:21 > 0:12:23you get a hat!
0:12:23 > 0:12:26And maybe there's something in that, because a now cool-headed Eric
0:12:26 > 0:12:29is quick to dive in and find something of interest -
0:12:29 > 0:12:32although he does appear to have changed his accent.
0:12:32 > 0:12:33What is this?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Is it for cards, or...? - I think it is.- Is it?
0:12:37 > 0:12:39- How much is it?- Two quid.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41£2.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Can I buy this? There we go.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46£2, I can just about afford.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48- Fantastic.- Thank you.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Eric makes his third purchase, but what has he got for his money?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Well, that's quite a useful object.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It is for putting your playing cards in.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's in nice condition.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02And if you want to know where it was made, here's a bit of a giveaway.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03When I turn it around,
0:13:03 > 0:13:08that mountain is Mount Fuji because this is Japanese.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11And the metal is called antimony.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14This actually dates probably to somewhere between
0:13:14 > 0:13:18around about 1910 to maybe 1925.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's got to much of its original silvering,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24underneath is a sort of a copper-type colour.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28There are plenty of people out there playing bridge, poker, you name it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31And that's quite a chic playing card stand.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And I like that.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38For £2, it was a bit of a no-brainer, if you know what I mean.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42So Eric is showing that when it comes to spotting a bargain,
0:13:42 > 0:13:43he's truly unmatched.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46While Chuko is showing signs of strain.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48This is tough.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51I think Eric is struggling as much as I am.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Actually, Chuko, Eric's doing A-OK
0:13:53 > 0:13:57and is eyeing up a fourth potential purchase.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58- Hello.- Hi.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Just looking at your dish.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01What a strange thing.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04What sort of money are we talking about?
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I were asking 15 for it.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07What's the best you can do?
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- £10.- £10.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12I've no idea...
0:14:12 > 0:14:14..who's going to want that, but there's a lot of work gone into it.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18- I'm happy with that. Many thanks. - Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22£10 lighter, Eric takes the tray - so what has he got for his money?
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Well, I've just bought something
0:14:24 > 0:14:26that qualifies as weird and wonderful.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32It's almost certainly been bought somewhere, maybe Cairo,
0:14:32 > 0:14:37in a bazaar, but it's just the quality of the engraving
0:14:37 > 0:14:39which I find quite staggering.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Because we've got this sort of Egyptian hieroglyphic frieze,
0:14:43 > 0:14:47we've got nine panels within these sort of palmettes.
0:14:47 > 0:14:55And then, look, the surround is sort of pure Victoriana of about 1850.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57This is obviously something to be looked at
0:14:57 > 0:15:00rather than used as a tray.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01But it would be...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Be very decadent to think you might get a cup of tea on this
0:15:04 > 0:15:06first thing in the morning.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09Yes. Very Harrogate.
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Well, maybe you should visit Harrogate
0:15:11 > 0:15:12when it's time to sell that, Eric.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Still, his tray gives him the edge in the buying.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17It seems that his rigorously methodical approach
0:15:17 > 0:15:20is finally paying off today.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Let's get this straight.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23I may have walked the best part of ten miles
0:15:23 > 0:15:27in 30 degrees of searing heat, but let me remind you, Chuko,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31that a quitter never wins and a winner never quits.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Ah, but Chuko is no quitter, either.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38I've spotted a few bits here that I like. This is interesting.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40I'd say a mid-century stool.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Covered, nice. These ladders are always good as well.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Great shop display.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- Hello.- Hello!
0:15:46 > 0:15:48So what have you got on this?
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- £10 on the stool. - And also the ladder?
0:15:51 > 0:15:54- £10 on the ladder. - £10 on the ladder.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Come on, now, no sitting down on the job.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Hold on.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02I do like that. I like the ladder more, I think.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Let me go and have a look.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08These are basic painters' and decorators' ladders.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But they've just got a bit of age, a bit unusual.
0:16:11 > 0:16:12It's all crafted, isn't it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15If I can get it for the right price, I think there is profit in there.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17I'm going to be cheeky.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Let's say...four.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- Five.- Five? Five, it's a deal.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29Yes, Chuko takes the ladder for £5.
0:16:29 > 0:16:33This is a classic Brush Strokes ladder - painter and decorator.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36In fact, I even like them more spattered with paint.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40It's a bit rickety, it needs a nail, it needs a bit of love.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43But all in all - £5?
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Can't go that wrong.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And he quickly makes purchase number five,
0:16:47 > 0:16:51picking up a vintage sack barrow for £15.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Oi-oi, look at that!
0:16:53 > 0:16:55It's a beautiful thing. This was somebody's tool,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57it's a piece of industrial history.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I need to find out exactly when it's from.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm guessing...early mid-century.
0:17:02 > 0:17:07Again, a lot of these old, vintage items are great for shop displays.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10How stylish would you look pushing your antiques
0:17:10 > 0:17:12around a fair with this?
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Love it.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15I didn't pay a lot of money for it,
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I'm sure I can carry off a profit with this.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23And, with that, Chuko calls it a day
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and finally gets to enjoy a little lie down.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28HE YAWNS
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Where's Eric? I've finished!
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Actually, Eric's finished, too,
0:17:32 > 0:17:36having rounded off his spending spree with a £3 mirror.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38And is that Eric's reflection in there?
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Er, maybe not.
0:17:40 > 0:17:44I've just got myself a mirror photograph.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45It is of John Wayne.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It says here, "In Tall In The Saddle,"
0:17:48 > 0:17:51which I think probably dates from the late 1930s.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I've got to do my homework.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56But it's John Wayne. John Wayne is an icon.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00I think I'm going to have no trouble whatsoever selling this on.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02So if you're watching, Chuko,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05get off your horse and drink your milk.
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Having lassoed his fifth and final purchase,
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Eric brings us to the end of this car boot buying bonanza.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17So before our pair come together, let's see how they spent today.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24From a £250 budget, Eric made five purchases and spend £80,
0:18:24 > 0:18:28whereas Chuko spent £115 on his five items.
0:18:29 > 0:18:30Eric, we've done it!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Talk about squeeze.- I know.
0:18:33 > 0:18:34What about that!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Big lump streamline or what?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I've got a feeling this could be rare.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39I'm not going to do a lot to it.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I'm just going to clean it up a little bit.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43That would look good in anybody's shop, wouldn't it?
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- What is that? - Infrared - it will heal you.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- I promise. - THEY LAUGH
0:18:48 > 0:18:50If all else fails, if it doesn't cure you,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52you could cook a chicken in front of it, couldn't you?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55That's the idea. My favourite bit is this.
0:18:55 > 0:18:56Oh, I like that.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Let's have a look. What does it say?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Wilkinson, Ormskirk, Lancashire.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Your neck of the woods. - Well, not far away.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03I'm surprised you didn't see that.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05I think that is a fabulous thing.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07I would have wanted to have bought that.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08You notice - look, look - no pottery!
0:19:08 > 0:19:11- No pottery!- That must hurt.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Well, no. To be honest with you,
0:19:13 > 0:19:16there was nothing much in the ceramic world out there I wanted.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- I could see that. - This, I thought, was interesting.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Japanese antimony - that's the material.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23There it is for your decks of cards.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- What a gentlemanly way of playing poker.- Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29And last but not least, my ladies' bike.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30Immaculate condition, very nice.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32And what's that, '80s?
0:19:32 > 0:19:331985.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36So we're getting close to classic.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39You're about 100 years out of where you'd normally be.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Yeah. Well, there you go.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43All I hope, obviously,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45is that mine sell for a lot more than what yours sell for.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49- You've just beat me to it! I hope- I- win, and you lose.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, there you go. Yeah, I want a cup of tea, old bean.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Lead on.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55- Oh! - ERIC LAUGHS
0:19:58 > 0:20:01Our tussling twosome now shift gear from buying to selling
0:20:01 > 0:20:03as they prepare to peddle their wares
0:20:03 > 0:20:07and realise the profit potential of every purchase made,
0:20:07 > 0:20:09with the money going to their chosen charities.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11In his High Wycombe home,
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Eric is ready for action.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16So this is the end product.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20It is the result of walking hours
0:20:20 > 0:20:22under a scorching sun.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25My John Wayne mirror, actually,
0:20:25 > 0:20:29shows a still from the film Tall In The Saddle,
0:20:29 > 0:20:31which was released in 1944.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34This was produced almost certainly
0:20:34 > 0:20:37in either the '70s or maybe even the early '80s.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Now, I do have a potential buyer for that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44My Japanese playing card case
0:20:44 > 0:20:46might be something of a rarity,
0:20:46 > 0:20:49if only for the fact that I've never seen one before
0:20:49 > 0:20:53and I've only been in this sort of job since 1971(!)
0:20:53 > 0:20:57My Egyptian tray, you might describe it as my problem child.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01The quality of the craftsmanship that has gone into making this
0:21:01 > 0:21:03is quite incredible.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07It's just who do I know who is going to appreciate
0:21:07 > 0:21:09such craftsmanship?
0:21:09 > 0:21:13And then, finally, that wonderful panorama of the city of Rome.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16But it does have a little bit of water damage.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19But, fortunately, it's occurred
0:21:19 > 0:21:21in the sky, amongst the clouds.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23It's completely disguised.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27It doesn't detract from the image whatsoever.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32Now, all I've got to do is find the willing buyers.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Yes, including one for his ladies' bike.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Back in his London lair, Chuko is also plotting a plan of attack.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42I've actually managed to get some great pieces.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Look at this Aldis projector.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46It's a great, decorative piece.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48I'm going to have to take the wiring off
0:21:48 > 0:21:51and give it a bit of a clean before I sell it.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54I've done my research with this coin scale.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57And when sovereigns were currency, they were made of precious metals.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00So this was, essentially, a counterfeit detector.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04And, then, maybe going a little bit down-market,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07my ladder is too old and too rickety to actually use,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but a lot of people nowadays will use these for display,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and that's exactly who I want to sell it to.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16And, then, finally, I've got my vintage sack barrow.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Weathered, aged and industrial piece.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21I didn't pay a great deal of money for it.
0:22:21 > 0:22:22Should be a profit.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26And he'll also need to get his infrared lamp up to spec,
0:22:26 > 0:22:28then find a buyer for that.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Now, both our experts will hope to make good on their buys
0:22:31 > 0:22:33as they reach for their contact books,
0:22:33 > 0:22:34pick up their phones,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and take to the roads that they hope will lead to a profit.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40Chuko and Eric know that no deal is done
0:22:40 > 0:22:44until the hand is shaken and the cash is handed over.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Eric is hoping to be first off the mark
0:22:46 > 0:22:50as he marches down to one of the more upmarket parts of London.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53I'm on my old stomping ground of Knightsbridge.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56Now, I spent 25 years of my life here,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59working for a very large London auction house.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02But bang next door is a very fine Italian restaurant.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06When I clasped my eyes on that panoramic photograph of Rome,
0:23:06 > 0:23:07I thought of one person.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I thought of the owner.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10I thought of Antonio.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Ah, but what will Antonio think of the print that cost Eric £5?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Now, you do get some big names in here, don't you,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21without going on too much?
0:23:21 > 0:23:22We have...
0:23:22 > 0:23:24the best, like Princess Diana,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Al Pacino.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29Ava Gardner was here almost every day when she was alive.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The one thing I remember more about the decor here
0:23:32 > 0:23:33were all the photographs.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36Consequently, when I was out and about,
0:23:36 > 0:23:39and I came across this large, panoramic view of Rome,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42I immediately thought of you.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44- So do you want to see it?- Please do. - OK.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Under a magnifying glass, the detail is just...
0:23:47 > 0:23:48Roma.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50I love Roma. I love...
0:23:50 > 0:23:53For me, it's the best city in the world.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Now, I've got a small confession to make.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Can you see the clouds?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Yes.- OK.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Some of those clouds have been accentuated
0:24:00 > 0:24:02by a little bit of moisture.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06But it's very fortunate that what has happened there
0:24:06 > 0:24:10blends in perfectly with the rest of the clouds.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14I'm looking for somewhere in the region of around £40 for this.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15That's my opening gambit.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17- You say £40?- Yes.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I'll give you 50.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22I'm not sure that's the way it works.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24When you barter, you tend to go the opposite way.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Because I like for Knightsbridge,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I cannot say, "I pay £40."
0:24:29 > 0:24:30Oh, really? Oh, I see.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32- £50?- Yes.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34That's very generous of you.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35OK, you think that's fair?
0:24:35 > 0:24:37OK, listen, I'm not going to argue with you.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39- Thank you.- Excelente.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Eric makes and opening profit of £45 for the Rome print,
0:24:42 > 0:24:46but it wasn't the only picture he picked up at the car boot.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Still in London, Eric moves on to his next item.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I've come to Rayners Lane up here in North London
0:24:52 > 0:24:54because, for the past 25 years or more,
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I've been having my hair cut here by Andy, my barber.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Nowm Andy, I can tell you, is a very, very big John Wayne fan.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05So when I saw this mirror of John Wayne himself,
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I saw another face in there, and that was Andy's.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Now, Andy is probably going to drive a hard bargain,
0:25:10 > 0:25:14so if I dare quote the great man himself, "Courage...
0:25:14 > 0:25:18"is being scared to death but saddling up anyhow."
0:25:18 > 0:25:21AS JOHN WAYNE: And, so, the one they call El Knowledge
0:25:21 > 0:25:25tethers his trusty steed, and with trigger finger twitching
0:25:25 > 0:25:27and keen eyes shifting,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30he comes face-to-face with the man who once cut him.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33Well, his hair.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35So, tell me, John Wayne...?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37When did he become your hero?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39When I saw Rio Bravo.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40Well, the funny thing is,
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I sat in that chair for a few years,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46and over those years I used to see bits of John Wayne appear.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Mindful of your memorabilia,
0:25:49 > 0:25:53I just happened to be at a car boot not so very long ago.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I came across John Wayne.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59But the truth was that this is the man that was looking at me.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Have a look at it. I just thought that might add to your collection.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm in a position to sell you that
0:26:04 > 0:26:07at what I would say is a favourable price.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Around about...
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- £30.- I will give you 28...
0:26:13 > 0:26:17- ..and a haircut.- £28 and a haircut?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- I think we've got ourselves a bit of a deal, OK?- Sure?
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Put it there.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23So Eric takes a seat in the barber's chair,
0:26:23 > 0:26:26he's cut into the lead now with two sales to nil.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28And Andy takes a little off the back and sides
0:26:28 > 0:26:31while Eric makes a little more on top,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33with £25 made on the mirror.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36If I day quote from John Wayne himself,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40"Tomorrow hopes that we've learnt from yesterday."
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Wise words, Chuko. Wise words.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Yes, and Chuko is hoping to brighten up HIS tomorrow
0:26:46 > 0:26:49with his first potential sale at a retro store in London.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53What I'm going to try to do with this lovely vintage sack barrow,
0:26:53 > 0:26:55which will look great in there for display,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58is to take a little bit of their profit and add to mine.
0:26:58 > 0:26:59Wish me luck.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02And he'll be hoping visual merchandiser Sophia
0:27:02 > 0:27:06will help him roll out with a profit on the £15 it owes him.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09This I thought would make a great display for you guys -
0:27:09 > 0:27:10be really good in here.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12It's vintage, industrial,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14good, solid sack barrow.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Do you think it would work in here?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Well, we are always looking for new props.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I'm the visual merchandiser, so it'd be a massive help to me, I'm sure.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23You do wow with the visuals here.
0:27:23 > 0:27:24- Thank you very much.- You do.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Let's get down to a price.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28- Okey dokey.- I was thinking...
0:27:29 > 0:27:30..125.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I don't know if I can give you 125.
0:27:32 > 0:27:33THEY LAUGH
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I've got to work with what I've got here!
0:27:36 > 0:27:39I think...55.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40- 55?- Yeah.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Shall I just give you an amount that I think you will say yes?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46- You can try.- Did you see what I'm trying to do?
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Look into my eyes!
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Can't see them under your hat.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53This hat is never comes off.
0:27:53 > 0:27:54Ever.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56Let's say...£80.
0:27:57 > 0:27:5880?
0:27:58 > 0:28:02A little bit closer to what I was thinking.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03- CHUKO YELPS - Go on, then. It's a deal.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- Thank you very much.- You're welcome.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07It'll look great here. Really good.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08I'll see what I can do with it.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09I've already got some ideas in my head.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12So after some pretty tough negotiating,
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Chuko walks out £65 up,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16and he's delighted.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18I made a great profit.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20I'm going to need that sack barrow back
0:28:20 > 0:28:22to carry all the cash I've made.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Yes, he takes the lead, meaning Eric will have to pedal hard to catch up.
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Or not.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31He's taking his bike to Oxford-based bike shop owner Dave,
0:28:31 > 0:28:34hoping to make something on the £60 it cost him.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38- Dave, hello. Eric. - How are you?- Nice to meet you.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39I've never bought a bike before.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42I mean, I'm mainly... sort of ceramics and glass.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45But I was told it dates from 1985,
0:28:45 > 0:28:48so I'm wondering whether it comes under the heading
0:28:48 > 0:28:50of, maybe, classic bike.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Well, my first impression is that it's extremely clean.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55It is in very good condition.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Almost suspiciously good condition.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Almost as if it's been restored.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01I can see there are things on there that are not original -
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- they wouldn't have come out the factory with the bike.- Such as?
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- The mudguards, for a start. - Oh, yeah?
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- The pump is...- Yes.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09- ..not original. - Correct, yes, that's true.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11And the kickstand isn't original either.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Oh, this one here, down here? - It isn't a classic. It isn't.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16- It's not?- No, it's an old bike in very good condition.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- I see.- It's certainly better than many of the second-hand bikes
0:29:19 > 0:29:22- that we see from that era. - Oh, well, that's encouraging.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25We just have to come down to something that's mutually agreeable.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28I was thinking that, you know,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30we might be around the £150 mark.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Realistically, we need to be sort of talking closer
0:29:33 > 0:29:34to about 70 quid.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36- £70?- Yeah.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38I-I just feel, as a matter of honour,
0:29:38 > 0:29:40just to tag on another tenner, if possible.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42Do you think we could do the 80 on that?
0:29:42 > 0:29:43Can we agree at 80 and close at 80?
0:29:43 > 0:29:45The only thing I would ask,
0:29:45 > 0:29:49I would like to think whoever does ride it does wear a helmet.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Yes, we do encourage helmet use.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54I had bigger ideas for it, but if we're going to settle on 80,
0:29:54 > 0:29:56- let's settle on 80. - 80 quid it is.- OK.
0:29:56 > 0:30:00So Eric makes his second sale and a £20 profit.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04I know it wasn't a big profit, £20.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07But, having said that, you know, it was a profit.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10And if you're watching, Chuko, on YOUR bike, mate.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Well, he's on foot, actually,
0:30:12 > 0:30:17and still hard at work as he arrives at an osteopath's for his next sale.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I've got my Infraphil infrared light.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Hopefully, I'll get a cracking good deal.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27The light cost Chuko £15.50 after PAT testing,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30but will osteopath Torben be interested in buying it?
0:30:30 > 0:30:32- So it's an Infraphil.- Yes.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34She's actually from the '70s.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Yeah, I've seen them. I think they're more white now.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Wow.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Don't look straight into it.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44I've never used infrared before, I must say.
0:30:44 > 0:30:45It's a proven technique.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48Infrared light does penetrate the muscle and relax it, doesn't it?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Yes. I can imagine that it'll help loosening up the muscles
0:30:52 > 0:30:53and get it ready to be adjusted.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56So is it something you think you'd be interested in?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58- I think so.- I'm thinking...
0:30:58 > 0:30:59£65.
0:31:01 > 0:31:02What about 35?
0:31:04 > 0:31:05How does...
0:31:05 > 0:31:0750 sound?
0:31:07 > 0:31:09That sounds better.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I think you've still got a bit of stiffness in the neck.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16What about if we do 45 and I'll loosen up your neck for you -
0:31:16 > 0:31:18- how is that?- I don't even have to think about that.
0:31:18 > 0:31:2045 and a click?
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Sounds like a CRACKING deal to me.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Chuko loosens up a profit of £29.50 on the lamp,
0:31:26 > 0:31:28and whilst he's there...
0:31:28 > 0:31:30Can I keep my hat on, Torben?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32No, you have to take your hat off.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34The Hat is taking his hat off.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Oh, man.- That is an honour.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39The signals are not coming through here
0:31:39 > 0:31:41to the arm muscles well enough.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42I'll do a little flick like that.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44There'll be a little click.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45NECK CRACKS
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Is that supposed to do that?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And here.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51NECK CRACKS Oh, no, that's not right.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53How's that?
0:31:53 > 0:31:54Shocking.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55And again.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57SOMETHING CRACKS
0:31:57 > 0:31:58No, that's enough of that.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Good.
0:32:00 > 0:32:01I'm in one piece.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05So Chuko's CRACKING deal brings us to the halfway mark
0:32:05 > 0:32:07of this spectacular selling spree.
0:32:07 > 0:32:11Let's take a moment to see how much our experts have made so far.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Eric has made three sales and brought home a profit of £90.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Chuko has only sold two items,
0:32:17 > 0:32:21but is a smidge ahead with a profit of £94.50.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24It's close - it's extremely close -
0:32:24 > 0:32:28and Eric is hoping his next sale will help him regain his lead,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30as he arrives in Chelsea.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34I'm here to meet a certain William Rouse, who moves in certain circles.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38To be precise, he moves in the Magic Circle.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41He's brought the card box, hoping to magic up a profit
0:32:41 > 0:32:43from the £2 it cost him.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44Like everybody,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47once they find out that you are a member of the Magic Circle,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50they're going to say, "Show me a trick. Come on, show me a trick."
0:32:50 > 0:32:52So show me a trick!
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- I'd be delighted, yes.- OK.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57If you don't mind, perhaps you could just slide out a card?
0:32:57 > 0:32:58- OK. Yeah.- Very good.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Have a look at it, remember it, don't forget it,
0:33:01 > 0:33:02but don't let me see it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04For the benefit of people at home...
0:33:04 > 0:33:07- Lovely.- Perfect. Perhaps you could slide that back somewhere...
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- OK, let's go there. - ..around the middle of the pack.
0:33:10 > 0:33:14- I'm going to attempt, I think, to locate your card.- OK.
0:33:14 > 0:33:17And it's going to look a little bit like this.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19- OK.- Just out of curiosity, what was the card you chose?
0:33:19 > 0:33:21It was the nine of spades.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- The nine of spades?- Yeah.
0:33:23 > 0:33:24- Fantastic. Fingers crossed...- OK.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26..we should find...
0:33:28 > 0:33:29..the nine of spades.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32Excellent!
0:33:32 > 0:33:33So Will gets the right card,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36but will Eric get the right price for his box?
0:33:36 > 0:33:37There it is...
0:33:38 > 0:33:40..in all its glory.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Let me explain. It's made of a material called antimony.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46Date-wise, it's around about
0:33:46 > 0:33:50- 1900 to 1910.- Mm-hm.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55And what amazed me was that it's there to take two sets
0:33:55 > 0:33:56of playing cards.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- Lovely.- Ever seen one of those before?
0:33:59 > 0:34:02I've seen lots of card cases before, lots of boxes for cards,
0:34:02 > 0:34:03but not a metal one,
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- and certainly not one with the same design as this.- Amazing.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Well, I've only been doing this since 1971
0:34:09 > 0:34:11and this is the first one that I've seen.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15So... But having said that, there's always somebody at home
0:34:15 > 0:34:17that says, "Oh, I've seen a dozen of those."
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- Well,- I- haven't.
0:34:19 > 0:34:21But there it is.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24I'm going to start off asking £30 for it anyway.
0:34:26 > 0:34:27OK.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29It's intriguing, it's somewhere to keep cards at home.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32And it's a nice thing because there's a connection between ideas
0:34:32 > 0:34:35of the mysterious East and magic, particularly from the period.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37But the problem is perhaps it's not something I would be...
0:34:37 > 0:34:39If I'm doing a show or something like that,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41it's not something I would be using for it.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44No, there is that. Where would you come in for something like that?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47I don't know. Maybe £10 or £12, something like that?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- £10 or £12?- Enough that I can smile about it
0:34:49 > 0:34:51when I see it and use it at home.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55I'd smile a lot more at my home if I could, let's say,
0:34:55 > 0:34:57settle on £20 for that object.
0:34:57 > 0:34:58I think we can shake on 20.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Presumably an IOU would be fine for that?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Well, I'm sorry, Will,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07but, given the opportunity, I think we would rather...
0:35:07 > 0:35:08We'd rather take cash.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Perhaps we could try this, then.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13If you won't accept an IOU...
0:35:13 > 0:35:15- maybe £20 will work OK...- Ooh! - ERIC LAUGHS
0:35:16 > 0:35:20- ..by way of alternative. So, yes...- Fantastic!- ..there's £20,
0:35:20 > 0:35:21and thank you very much indeed.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25We have a deal.
0:35:25 > 0:35:26Better check that note, Eric.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29Still, that's an £18 profit for the case
0:35:29 > 0:35:32and Eric only has one item left.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Chuko has three.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36He's back in London for his next sale.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39It's the £5 ladder, which he brings to florist Joanna,
0:35:39 > 0:35:42hoping to step out with a profit.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44You've got such rustic charm in here.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46I thought this would be a perfect display.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49The reason I bought it is because you've got that display there.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51- Yes, I have.- I wouldn't try and climb up it.- No.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Something you think you could work with?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I think definitely I could, yes.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57- If the money's right? - If the money's right.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00I was thinking something like £65.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02- Was you?! - CHUKO LAUGHS
0:36:02 > 0:36:04I wasn't!
0:36:04 > 0:36:05Bit less.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06- 30?- 30...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08THEY GROAN
0:36:08 > 0:36:11What if we say 40?
0:36:11 > 0:36:1235?
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- Go on, then, 40.- Oh, yes!
0:36:15 > 0:36:17THEY LAUGH
0:36:17 > 0:36:18Well done.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22Chuko makes £35 and climbs further up the profit ladder.
0:36:22 > 0:36:27He's in Oxfordshire next with the 1950s projector that cost him £10.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30It turns out the projector wasn't in working order,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33so Chuko has stripped out all the wiring for safety,
0:36:33 > 0:36:35and he's hoping pub owners Damian and Johnny
0:36:35 > 0:36:38will want it as a decorative piece in their pub.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Good to see you.- You, too. - Love this place.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- Thank you very much. - It's just such eclectic taste.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- This wouldn't be out of place here. - I was going to say!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Right.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I want to add to it.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53So, yeah, 1950s slide projector.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56It's all stripped, so purely for decorative.
0:36:56 > 0:36:57- Can it work?- I think so.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00I think it'd make a really good light,
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- or something really interesting in here, yeah.- OK.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03- Could get bulb in there.- Yeah.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05I think it would suit here very well.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- What are you asking for it? - Right, don't be scared...
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- cos these go for a lot of money. They're rare.- OK.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12They're rare. But I'm not going to hurt you too much.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14But I would love to get about 120.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16- 120?- Yeah.- Ooh.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I was thinking more sort of, er...
0:37:18 > 0:37:21- 40?- Oxford prices...
0:37:21 > 0:37:23for a London boy.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- THEY LAUGH - Ow!
0:37:25 > 0:37:26Meet me up a little bit.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27Let's say 90?
0:37:29 > 0:37:3065.
0:37:30 > 0:37:31BOTH: 65.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33That's a good price.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35I'm not going to argue at that.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37- Thank you, Johnny. Thank you, Damian.- Thank you.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Enjoy. I think it will look brilliant in here.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Chuko kisses goodbye to the projector
0:37:43 > 0:37:46but waves hello to £55 of profit.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Which brings us back to Eric's final sale,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52the Egyptian tray that cost him £10.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55He's brought it to Marlow-based vintage shop owner Sara.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I've got something that I'm hoping is going to be of interest to you
0:37:58 > 0:38:00that looks very, very old.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03It looks about 4,000 or 5,000 years old, but, obviously, it's not.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06It's been carved by hand,
0:38:06 > 0:38:08probably in a bazaar in Cairo,
0:38:08 > 0:38:10sometime in the 20th century.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13I would have thought the early 20th century.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I think that is perfect,
0:38:15 > 0:38:18if you're serving drinks for two.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21I mean, very decadent, I think, to use something like that.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23I tell you what's going through my mind.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Where we are, there's a real trend for cocktails.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28There's a cocktail called an Egyptian martini
0:38:28 > 0:38:31and, somehow, the Egyptian tray with martini glasses
0:38:31 > 0:38:33sort of fits together quite nicely.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35You think you've got a market for that?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37I think we might be able to do something with it...
0:38:37 > 0:38:38- OK. All right.- ..at a price.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39At a price, yes.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42I was looking for somewhere in the region
0:38:42 > 0:38:44of around about, I don't know...
0:38:45 > 0:38:47..£60, something like that?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50- 60 I think is a bit steep. - OK, fair enough.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52Remember, I've got to sell it on.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54I was going somewhere near the 30s.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Let's have a think now.
0:38:55 > 0:38:59If we said 40, would that be encouraging to you?
0:39:00 > 0:39:03What about 35?
0:39:03 > 0:39:0535. You like the sound of that, don't you?
0:39:05 > 0:39:06Just something, yes.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08- Yeah. I'm going to say 35. - Well done.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Come on, put your hand there. - Thank you, Eric.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12So Eric carries off a final profit
0:39:12 > 0:39:15of £25 for the tray.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Chuko has one item left to sell.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20He's weighed up his options and travelled to Buckinghamshire.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23I've got my coin scales here.
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I really love these.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Great engineering.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28I don't know too much about them.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Could be 1780, could be 1880.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34But I know somebody that will know about them - Charles.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38He's an auction consultant and he's a coin collector.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Hopefully, the scales will tip in my favour.
0:39:41 > 0:39:45The scales cost £70 but what will the expert think?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47So I've got these coin scales, lovely coin scales.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50You have to be very fair with me cos I know very little about this...
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- Yeah.- ..and I know this is your area of expertise.- Yeah.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- What do you think?- Yes. - Well, the first thing to say
0:39:55 > 0:39:57is that these aren't actually sovereign scales.
0:39:57 > 0:39:58They are earlier than that.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01This is actually a pair of guinea scales,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05which means that it's from pre-1817.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08You can tell from the paper label inside
0:40:08 > 0:40:10that it's probably from about 1780.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Better than a sovereign scale. It means it's a bit more valuable.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- OK, brilliant.- What you did with it
0:40:16 > 0:40:18is you put your gold guinea on here.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22And if it tipped the scale just a little bit, like this,
0:40:22 > 0:40:26your gold was good. Now, the market for these is...
0:40:26 > 0:40:29a little bit weak, shall we say,
0:40:29 > 0:40:31because once a coin collector has got one example...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- Yeah.- ..he doesn't want to buy ten.
0:40:34 > 0:40:35How would 95 sound?
0:40:35 > 0:40:3895? I'm a London boy, I'm from Hackney.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40My instinct is to nudge you to 100,
0:40:40 > 0:40:43but I think you've been very fair, you've been very honest,
0:40:43 > 0:40:45- and you've been very straight. - Thank you, Chuko.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I'll shake your hand at that. Thank you very much, Charles.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51So Chuko walks away with a final £25 profit
0:40:51 > 0:40:54and brings us to the end of this selling bonanza.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57So before we find out who's earned the mantle of winner,
0:40:57 > 0:41:00let's remind ourselves how much our pair spent.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07From a £250 budget, Eric bought five items for £80 in total.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Chuko also bought five items but spent £115.50,
0:41:11 > 0:41:14including PAT testing costs.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16All the profits from today's challenge
0:41:16 > 0:41:19will go to Eric and Chuko's chosen charities. So let's find out
0:41:19 > 0:41:23who is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26How are you doing?
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Hello, Eric.- How was your booty? Have you done any more car booting?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31- I haven't. Have you? - Well, yes, I have,
0:41:31 > 0:41:34but not as extensive as the one we went to.
0:41:34 > 0:41:36- It was tough.- It was, wasn't it?
0:41:36 > 0:41:38There was an awful lot of ground to cover.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40- So what about the selling? - So my Infraphil,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I made a CRACKING good profit with that.
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Oh, did you?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I took it to a chiropractor.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Let's just say he had a good relationship with my back.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Oh, right.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53- How about you?- For me,
0:41:53 > 0:41:56I called on a little bit of magic
0:41:56 > 0:41:59when it came to my card case.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02I did rub shoulders with a magician,
0:42:02 > 0:42:05and I'm hoping a little bit of magic is about to rub off.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- Shall we have a look?- Here we go.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Are you ready?- Three...- Two... - BOTH:- One...
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- BOTH:- Oh!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- Close.- No!
0:42:15 > 0:42:16THEY LAUGH
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Don't patronise me!
0:42:18 > 0:42:20No, I would never do that.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Either way, when it comes to the magic,
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I think I'll just do a disappearing trick.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26- Come on.- Let's go and make some.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29Yes, Chuko is today's winner
0:42:29 > 0:42:33after taking the two highest profits on the sack barrow and projector.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36To win against Eric is always a hard fight.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39And that's what I did - I fought really hard.
0:42:39 > 0:42:40I'm proud of myself.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43Why shouldn't I be? I won, but it was tough.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47Well, it's very tough to spend big money at a car boot,
0:42:47 > 0:42:49and it's when you spend the big money
0:42:49 > 0:42:52you stand a chance of making the bigger profits.
0:42:52 > 0:42:57But it's fair to say that Chuko was almost buying on demand.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58He knows his market,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01and I may have lost the battle, but I haven't lost the war...
0:43:01 > 0:43:03yet.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05But Eric gets to fight again tomorrow
0:43:05 > 0:43:07when he takes on Chuko at the showdown.
