Jonty Hearnden vs Danny Sebastian - Car Boot Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts

against each other in an all-out battle for profit.

-I think I see a bargain!

-Each day, one pair of duelling dealers

will face a mighty challenge.

-Oh, yeah!

-Putting their reputations on the line...

-Ready for battle.

-..they'll give you the insider's view of the trade...

I'm a big boy. I'm a player.

..along with their top tips and savvy secrets.

It's not all about what you spend, it's about what you make.

Showing you how to make the most money...

It really is war.

..from buying and selling.

You've got to be in there like a whippet.

Coming up, our boys come to blows at the car boot.

-What are you doing?

-Can you keep rolling?

-Go and have a look in the back of the van there.

-This is my patch!

-Jonty tells us what's in fashion right now.

These are Chinese, made about 1920.

And Chinese silver at the moment is really quite hot.

And good things are predicted for Danny in the selling.

I want to know whether I'm going to win or not.

-I think you will.

-I'm going to beat him.

This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

Welcome, all, to your front-row seats at the age-old battle of good

versus even more good.

Two of the universe's most powerful adversaries are locked in a fearsome

clash, each intent on becoming guardian and defender to the most

precious antiques.

First up, this heirloom protector likes to slip under the radar

and blend into the crowd. He might look like an accountant,

but don't let his alter ego fool you.

He's not Tax Man or Geography Teacher Man.

Oh, no. It's Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden.

I'm going to be as hawk-eyed as I can because there's bound to be

-something here for me.

-Up against him,

his nemesis is a super geezer of kitsch collectables.

There's no chance of him slipping by unnoticed.

He's a wheeling, dealing, show-stealing supremo.

It's Danny "Del Boy" Sebastian.

Hey, I've got a feeling today might be my lucky day.

Today, they're at Ford Airfield car-boot sale in West Sussex,

where they've each come armed with a heroic yet dastardly plot to nab

the best booty fast and first,

which they'll need to sell on,

and any profits will go to their chosen charities.

So which of our antiques arch enemies will come out on top?

It's time to find out.

-Morning, Hitman.

-How are you doing?

-Good, I'm good.

-Now, look, they're arriving.

-They are, yeah.

-Early in the morning.

-How are you feeling?

-Good.

-Is this kind of your stomping ground?

-This is my stomping ground, course it is.

You must feel like a fish out of water here!

I have been here before, Danny.

-Oh, I didn't know that.

-Yeah. It's a great place to buy.

Are you ready for some battles today?

You are the Hitman, I've got to watch you, you're a big hitter!

Go and spend the money. I'll see you later.

See you later. Good luck.

With £250 to spend and a healthy dose of competitive spirit,

our defenders of the realm can begin their battle for truth, justice,

and profitable antiques.

I know I want quality, quirky, and dead certs.

And I think I've seen one or two things already.

Yes, Danny is not short of a bit of biff and pow today.

But Jonty has got a cunning plan of his own.

Now Danny, being Danny, he's going to stop and natter to everyone.

I'm going to crack on and be rather stealth-like and grab those bargains

straight away.

And true to his word,

he soon sidles up to a stall and tries to sneak in his first

-potential purchase.

-Now this looks rather interesting.

-How much is this ring?

-That's 75.

75 what? 75p?

-Pounds.

-£75!

Give me a price and I'll buy it from you.

You can have it for 65, that's the best you can have it for.

I'll do it for 60, then we're done.

-No, sorry.

-65?

Literally when I say the best, I mean it.

Thank you very much.

There's 60. 65.

Thank you very much. You have a lovely day, yeah.

All I need is a boat!

The seller drove a hard bargain, but Jonty is one up on Danny already.

I was a little wary, certainly wary when he was asking £75 for it,

because this is not an antique.

It wasn't necessarily made or manufactured in 1922.

If you look at the colour, it's too uniform.

So the colour at the front, the colour at the sides, it's all too similar.

So therefore this has been repainted at some later stage.

So it's a decorative object, decorative only.

But, hey, I'm sure I'll find a market for this.

Yes, Jonty's confident there's a sea of buyers waiting to purchase his

nautical prop. While Danny, on the hunt for something quirky,

has found something magical.

MUSIC: Harry Potter by John Williams

It's nice, isn't it? Normally with Wedgwood, it's a certain type,

but this one's a wizard.

It's Harry Pottery!

Is it my cup of tea? Not really.

But it's about what will sell.

If it's the right money, I'll have it.

-How much do you want for it?

-£30.

-Fiver?

-No.

How about...

-Seven! Deal!

-Ten.

No, no, I can't give you ten quid. I've got to get change on ten quid.

I don't really want it! Seven.

-Give me eight.

-No, seven.

-I don't do even!

-What, even?

-It's got to be odd.

-All right, 7.99.

Seven quid.

That is really bad.

Don't worry, put your hand there.

I hope you go to sleep and don't sleep tonight.

I tell you what, you've just given me... That's a bit of good luck, that is.

Knowing any profit he makes goes to charity,

he haggled as hard as he could.

That's my first buy, feeling good now.

Hitman, ha-ha-ha!

No, viewers, that wasn't an illusion.

Danny really has just bought a bright orange pottery wizard.

What I do know is Wedgwood's a very good make.

Generally it's plates, it's blue-and-white.

This is a wizard. I bought it at seven.

I think that is right money.

That, to me, is cheap.

I'd say it's probably light as I think it's quite current.

As long as it's got that name on the bottom, it's quality.

But what's happened to his magic staff, Danny?

Since I've got my hands on it, I've broke the bottom half off!

But, there you go. Bit of superglue, I'm sure it's all going to come to.

Got it bought. I'm happy.

Hope Jonty is!

And the wizard's mystical powers seem to be rubbing off.

I can see myself as a champion!

Goodness! Elsewhere, Jonty is blissfully unaware of Danny's vision.

Do I want to buy something like this?

Nah, it's a little "plane"!

SAD TROMBONE

Well, Jonty needs to buy something,

because there's no stopping our neckerchiefed crusader.

This is all my bag, it's got all mid-20th century gear in here.

-Let me get that for you. You keep on bringing it out.

-Oh, well.

I want to see what's on the bottom, I want to see what else he's getting in there.

So I'm hanging about and just giving him a little bit of a hand.

Yes, but while Danny's biding his time,

stealthy Jonty is on the prowl and Del Boy's Spidey senses

have picked up his presence.

The Hitman's here. And he's probably come with a knockout blow.

-What are you doing?

-Can you keep rolling?

-Go and have a look in the back of the van there.

-This is my patch.

-No, you just carry on.

-Go and have a look in there.

-No!

-It doesn't seem like he heard you,

-Del Boy.

-How much for this?

-30.

-30...?

-Pounds.

-Oh, that's too much.

-That's too much?

-Can you do 20?

-20, yes?

-20, OK.

-£20.

-Yeah.

-All right.

Jonty is on a roll.

-Thank you very much indeed.

-Thank you.

He just bought something right under my eyes.

Danny, come back here.

Want to give me some of that?

That's what they call a purchase. Look at that.

He's making rash decisions. He's making rash decisions.

You do know, don't you, you can buy that currently in the stores?

I mean, it's brand-new, that.

This is 1950s, French bit of glass, this is.

This is lovely. You've missed a bargain!

Get back to work.

Jonty's crafty strategy is paying dividends today.

There he was, gas-bagging again.

What did he miss? This beautiful bit of French 1950s glass.

I love these. Bit of a table centre.

I bought it for 20 quid.

-Another bargain.

-But Danny's not so easily defeated.

Have you got anything special for me in here?

That's quite nice, what's that?

Guess. Guess.

-What's that?

-Erm...

-No, no, guess.

-Is it a stool?

No.

What is it?

Coat stand?

Ah, you're getting good.

That's what you call quirky.

It sure is.

It's a retro coat stand. I'd say it's 1950s, 1960s.

Quite quirky. All folds away.

Everything pops into the basement.

Then you build it up and you've got a nice quirky coat stand.

All said and done, you can sell this anywhere.

What's the best you're going to do on that for me?

-The best?

-Yeah.

-50 is the best.

What's the absolute death you can do? Do me a better price.

Give me 75.

I want it down, he's coming up!

-Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

-You're not playing the game!

-Will you do 40?

-I can't do 40.

-45.

-OK, I'll do it.

Lovely. Thank you very much.

This was well worth the wait.

And I don't even mind losing that bit of glass to Jonty because this

is something special.

And I know one thing is for sure -

I'm going to make good, good profit on this lump.

And brave Del Boy quickly makes it three buys to Jonty's two with this

vintage bench for £28.

Well, I'd better test out the merchandise.

And this rustic bench has got that French distressed look about it.

Rustic, as you well know, is very much in vogue today.

I'm just going to sell it as is.

And sticking with the French theme,

Jonty swoops on his next potential purchase.

This is really nice.

It's a really attractive French mirror.

Oh, it's nice and chunky too.

But look at that, you see the gilding coming through?

Originally this frame here would have been a beautiful gilded frame.

Marbled gesso mirror.

But somebody painted it, which is the real fashion at the moment.

It's so commercial.

This mirror is 100, 120 years old.

-It's just perfect.

-And with that,

he buys it from the camera-shy seller for £35.

Another Ford Market bargain!

With our masked relic defenders neck and neck,

let's see who's the villain and who's the hero at this halfway point.

Both our dealers arrived with £250 to spend.

Jonty was quick off the mark, spending £120 on three items,

leaving £130 in his kitty.

Danny's three purchases cost £80,

leaving him with a larger pot, £170, for the rest of the day.

-There you are.

-How are you?

-Good, how's it going?

-Very good.

-Very good?

-That glass, you know I'd seen it prior, don't you,

-to you buying it?

-Did you? But you dismissed it?

But I thought, yeah, I don't want that.

I don't believe him. Have you done the whole market yet?

I've done the whole market, and I'm going for a cup of tea, because I'm all bought up!

I'll see you later, Jonty!

Fact - Danny has been talking to every stallholder.

I know, I've seen it.

Is it fiction that he's bought up?

Well, we'll soon find out.

I told the Hitman that I'm all bought up.

I'm not. I've actually got a fair bit of work to do, really,

and a bit more to catch up.

Seems like now Jonty's got me on the ropes!

Surely that's just an excuse for a comeback, Del Boy.

And as Danny's latest strategy seems to be stirring things up,

these might help.

I've got here a set of spoons.

Straight away, he's lost one.

There's only five, but I'm told they're silver.

I mean, the thing is, when we're dealing with sterling silver,

we know it's 925.

It's got the mark on it. You can easily assess what you've got.

Here, I don't know the markings.

On that note, leave it alone.

So no spoons for Danny.

Across the market,

Jonty's laser vision has landed on something he hopes will boost

his speed. Time to employ the mightiest of all his superpowers -

the old Hitman charm.

-So how much for your bicycle? Cos I think that's fun.

-50.

50 quid? What about 30, would you do 30 quid?

And then it will put a smile on your face.

It wouldn't put a smile on my face.

-35.

-Go on, then.

-There you go, cheers.

-30 quid for the bike.

No, it wasn't 30 quid! It was 35!

His Jedi mind trick might be slightly on the blink,

but he still drives the price down by 15 quid.

Goodness me, the things you buy in a market.

A lady's bicycle.

How fantastic is this?

There's always a market for a great second-hand bike.

Mmm, suits you, sir!

MUSIC: Bicycle Race by Queen

But there's no point riding around that empty bit -

get amongst the stalls and get that shopping basket filled up!

That's better! But, hang on a minute,

looks like Jonty's X-ray specs have led him to one of Danny's rejects!

Does he know something that Del Boy doesn't?

These are Chinese, made about 1920.

They've got a nice hallmark on the underside.

And Chinese silver at the moment is really quite hot.

This probably would have been a set of six,

but now we've got a set of five.

But they are really quite handsome, and they're in good condition.

And I love the fact that we've got this dragon on the end there.

So Jonty's smitten. Time to talk money.

I could do 40 to you.

-What about 30 quid?

-38, thank you.

-That leaves me a little bit of a...

-Really?

-That's how tight it is.

I can now work out what you paid for them!

35 - gives me £3 profit.

38? Oh, go on, I really think they're lovely. They're charming.

-OK.

-Thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

That's the Hitman's fifth purchase and he's just been let in

on a little secret.

The stallholder told me that Danny had already looked at these and he's

rejected them. Well, it's his loss,

not mine.

You could knock Jonty over with a teaspoon.

Has Danny made a mistake?

Only time will tell.

He's trailing three buys to Jonty's haul of five and needs to don

his cape and get a wriggle on.

I'm going to let you in to a little secret.

I am shaking a little bit, really.

I'm running out of time, the people here are packing up.

I'd better get my skates on!

Yes, that would be a very wise move.

And, holy receptacles,

he uncovers a vintage film reel box and makes his move.

Best price?

Erm...

-20!

-No, no, that's not possible.

25. OK?

-Yeah.

-That's item number four for Danny, and he's as pleased as punch.

I think this is a film box.

Why? Because for one, it's got the word "film" wrote here.

And for two, it says Koliba here.

Now I know that Koliba is an area in Slovakia that has a film studio.

So it just gets better when I open up

and I see there's a partition in here.

And I'm pretty aware that there's two sizes of films.

Obviously the smaller one goes in here,

and the other one goes in here.

It's a lovely box, isn't it?

Just that rustic look about it.

I really think I'm going to get a profit with this.

And our market marvel is picking up pace.

He spots a 1920s silver box he thinks is worth a closer look.

Got a bit of a date on it.

-Well worn, isn't it?

-I think it's George V.

What's the best you can do me on it?

-60.

-No, come down.

-Really?

-40 quid.

-45.

-No.

-Go on, then, £40.

I should've said 30! Eh? What have I done wrong here?

It's too late now!

-Thank you very much.

-Lovely.

Not bad, that. Nice little bit of silver.

40 quid. This could well have been a cigarette box.

Hallmark on the side.

Got a bit of a date on it.

Quite nice. That'll do me.

Yes, it's whack, boff, kapow!

And with the stalls packing up,

Jonty's decided the five items he's already bought are enough and calls

it a day. So, shopping done, our off-duty suave super

can enjoy a cuppa. But what's he spotted?

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No, it's only Del Boy.

Look, there he is.

The last buyer in the whole market.

Good old Danny.

Yeah, Del Boy's after one final flutter before the stallholders all

-disappear.

-I'm just going to have another little scout about and see

whether or not I can pick up something for little money.

A metal bear and golf print block have caught his eye,

but the seller wants £19 for the pair.

I want to buy the two, but I don't want to pay 19.

Listen, you're packing away here now, it's dead!

-17 and we've got a deal.

-Go on, then, mate.

Nice one. I'll have that.

And that cheeky final double deal takes Danny's total number of items

to seven.

Got a lovely combo deal here.

1940s, I would have said, with this copper print block.

It would have gone into the printer, obviously had ink all over it.

Bosh. And that print would have come out on a bit of paper.

It's an old vintage golfer on there.

You know, could probably even go on a gent's desk.

As well on the combo deal I've got this little bear.

I'd say it's brass.

But there's a lovely patination on it and very good definition.

The foot here just not really the same sort of colour or texture -

that tells me there's a repair.

Good job I only paid £7 because if I'd have paid any more than that,

I might have bought a pig in a poke,

never mind a bear!

With that, our supreme beings have soared over the finish line and it's

time to tot up the totals.

They both started the day with £250 of their own money to spend.

Jonty is hoping he's seen off the competition with his five purchases

costing £193.

But Danny's fought the good fight with his seven items that cost £162.

Of course, the only thing that matters now is profit.

Our deal-doing duo have spent their dosh and it's now time to compare

their wares.

-How are you, Jonty?

-How you doing, matey?

-Yeah, good.

-How did it go for you?

The truth be told, I was struggling a little bit.

It was a doddle for me, doddle for me.

And so it should be, because half the bits I left for you.

Something that was left for me were these spoons.

Explain, why didn't you buy these lovely spoons?

I was told they were Chinese silver, and...

-..I didn't think they were.

-They are Chinese silver, yeah, absolutely.

I don't want to stir it for you.

DANNY CHUCKLES

Don't want to stir it!

What's all this with the wizard on the table here?

It was in perfect condition when I bought it this morning,

and then I broke it, I broke the...

-Oh, no.

-I broke the sphere.

-Better for you, that.

-Yes.

-You've got a chance now.

I say, "Oh, dear..."

What about my mirror, do you like my mirror?

I don't like it, it's too modern.

What, 19th-century mirror's too modern for you?

-Is it 19th century?

-Oh, yes.

But something that is not is my bicycle.

Now tell me, what's all this about recycling timbers,

-what's all this about?

-This kind of rustic,

distressed look is very in vogue, and I love it.

I'm saying nothing, I'm saying nothing. And, yeah,

what's this bit of scrap metal here?

-Lovely, that.

-Explain.

It's a '60s coat stand, all packed away, you know,

into the base and I thought, there's plenty of room for profit there also.

-So are you sure about that?

-Positive.

If I remember rightly, I seen you sitting down having a cup of tea.

You did, you did, that was me.

And the tea is very good here, I can tell you.

-Well, on that note, let's go and get one.

-Come on.

-Come on.

But with great buying power comes great selling responsibility,

so our heroes must now scour the land in search of homes for all their

items, each with the intention of building the biggest bank of money

to go to their chosen charities.

At his Oxfordshire base, Jonty's reflecting on his purchases.

My favourite item is my mirror.

I bought it for an absolute song,

and I think it's worth quite a bit of money.

And my life buoy, perfect for a rowing club,

something that looks the business.

And when I bought the bike, I had no idea who I could sell it to,

but I've done a bit of research and have discovered that there are quite

a few businesses that trade in the second-hand bike market.

Jonty also has to find buyers for his Chinese silver spoons

and his 1950s vase.

So what of Danny in Wellingborough?

Me favourite piece, I must say,

has got to be me Italian coat and umbrella stand.

It's got great style, it's a stainless steel stem,

but I'm going to do more research.

I want to know who designed it, cos it's a great, iconic piece.

Then, of course, I've got my little silver box.

It'll be going to a silver dealer.

This film box, I'm just a little bit dubious if I'm going to have a bit

of a problem selling this, but I'm going to give it a whirl.

Me wizard...

I'm sure I'm going to get a bit of good luck with this.

The only thing I do have to do with this young chap here

is repair his wand with a bit of glue and then we're going to be

wizarding away to a grand profit.

And Danny is also hoping to conjure up money from the metal bear,

copper print block and vintage bench.

Both our experts are hoping for a victory, but, make no mistake,

their magical machinations belie the solid phone work,

legwork and web work necessary to turn their purchases

into profit-punching sales,

and no deal is done until the hands are shaken and the money taken.

Pleasure.

First to feel the tug of a potential profit is Jonty with his favourite

item, the mirror.

He's brought it to Wallingford to show vintage shop owner Sarah.

Now she sells similar kinds of items like my mirror in here,

so I'm hoping she might be the perfect buyer.

The mirror stands him at £35,

so will Sarah be able to see any profit in it for Jonty?

Ah, there you are.

-Oh.

-How you doing?

-Lovely.

Now, look what I've brought you, what's your first impressions?

Well, it's nicely aged.

-Yes, a bit like me.

-And it's been distressed.

A bit like me!

What I think this is, is it's a 19th-century French mirror.

OK.

But it didn't start life that way.

I think this was a picture frame,

because you've got a new board on the back, they have...

Somebody has cut an old mirror to put into an old frame.

-Right.

-Mirrors weren't necessarily this size.

You either get a large over-mantle mirror or you get a small dressing table mirror. Is this the rage now?

If this was gilded, could you sell it?

-No.

-Because it's painted, does that it make it more saleable?

-It does, definitely painted at the moment, that's what people are wanting.

-Yeah, I thought so.

So that's the reason why I bought it in the first place.

-Yep.

-And I thought it was a really good size.

The price I'm looking for is £80.

Erm, I don't think I can run to 80 at the moment.

So if I come back tomorrow, you're saying you can get 80?

I don't think so! Would you take 60?

£60. Would I do 60?

-For you, I would.

-OK.

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much indeed, very good.

So Jonty kick-starts the selling with £25 of pure profit

on the mirror.

Danny is keen to wave his wand and whisk up a few pounds for his first

item. His research has led to him to the Northamptonshire home of a very

special lady.

I'm here to see Natalie.

Now she is a psychic, she's into the weird and wonderful,

the supernatural, and also the mystical world.

I'm just hoping that me and my wizard can work some magic.

I'm coming in.

And so Danny steps into the author of ghost-hunting books abode,

hoping to find a home for his wizard and escape with a profit on the £7

-it cost him.

-What's going on here, it's all a bit spooky?

I've seen some ghosts up the top there.

That's my job.

Well, I do readings, I'm also a writer on ghosty things.

-There's a lot going on.

-Yeah, there is a lot going on, yeah.

People find it a bit spooky.

But what will she make of Danny's wizard?

Look at that chappie there.

-He's lovely, isn't he?

-In cracking condition.

I must admit, there was a little break in the sceptre and I've just

superglued it to put it back in place, but not really noticeable,

you know, as you can well see.

But there's no chips. He's named the Sun King.

I'm surprised someone was selling this at a car boot, to be fair.

-Is it something you'd like?

-Yes.

-Do you like it?

Yes, I like him, he's nice, yeah.

And do you think he could sort of...?

Could he fit in with you and your gargoyles and your Green Man?

Let's have a look, does he fit over there?

Yeah, I think he'd fit in with that.

-He'd fit in, wouldn't he?

-Yeah. I know exactly what I'm going to pay for him.

Psychic haggling - this could prove interesting.

I've got 40 quid here, cash for him, and a reading.

I can't say fairer than that.

You might have to go a little higher than that.

-No.

-You're not, are you?

-No, that's what he's worth.

Now here's a lady who knows what she wants and knows what she's going to pay. Give us your hand.

So Danny shakes and takes a profit of £33 for the wizard,

and whilst he's there, sees whether Natalie can help him see the future

of this competition.

I want to know whether I'm going to win or not.

I think you will.

And also, when you win, I know what's going to happen when you win.

-Do you?

-You're going to get yourself... Treat yourself to a new van.

I was thinking about a van.

Oh, you're good!

-Yeah.

-Did I tell you?

-No.

-You're good.

MUSIC: Tales Of The Unexpected by Ron Grainer

That has made me quite jittery, but the good thing is,

I pulled in a tidy profit - and, of course, the most important,

thanks to Natalie, I can now see into the future.

And Jonty...

It ain't looking so bright for you, son.

Yes, well, we'll have to see whether Natalie's prediction comes true.

With the sales standing at one-all, the future is anything but certain,

and it's Jonty next.

He's in Didcot with his mid-century vase.

Jenny is an enthusiastic collector for anything 1950s or 1960s,

so hopefully she could be the perfect person for this.

Jonty snatched the vase for £20 while Danny was looking the other way,

so will the Hitman's sneaky tactics pay off now?

-Jenny.

-Good afternoon.

-How are you?

-I'm very well, thank you.

So we talked about this on the telephone, and I notice, hey,

-you're a bit of a collector.

-Yeah, I am, these are from my personal collection.

-These are French, aren't they?

-Yes, these two are French,

and they're both signed by Daum.

Daum, of France?

-Yes.

-Lovely. Well, I'm afraid my vase is not signed.

Is it something that you might be interested in adding

to your collection if it was the right price?

Yeah, I would be interested in adding it to my collection,

cos it is a good, solid piece.

I like things that have a lot of weight to it.

Yes, when I first started in the very late 1970s,

glass like this would have just been thrown away, absolutely discarded.

I think it's nice that lots of things are being reused again now,

and there's a big sort of vintage thing going on at the moment.

It's nice to have old stuff.

My vase here - I'm looking for £50.

50 is probably the top end for this.

Would you do 45?

-Yeah.

-45.

-45, we have a sale.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

With £25 profit for the vase, Jonty edges back into the lead.

Wow. I more than doubled my investment there.

What a result. Now, Danny,

that's how you make your money at a car-boot sale,

and I pinched it from right underneath your nose.

Yes, well, don't get too cocky, Jonty.

When you were buying your vase,

Danny was buying his coat stand and Del Boy's research has revealed

it's a designer Italian piece.

He's hoping it will look the business in a barbers shop in Wellingborough.

I've brought along today my beautiful, extendable,

retro Italian coat stand.

I'm just hoping when it comes to the price,

he don't take too much off the top!

It was no snip at £45, but he's hoping for big bucks

from barber Jim.

-Yes, Jim.

-Yes, Danny.

Look what I've got here.

What do you think it is, a seat?

-I thought so, yeah.

-Yeah, well, it's not.

-What is it?

-Let me show you.

This is great. This is Italian in design, 1960s retro.

'60s is well in at the minute, everybody wants retro,

everybody wants the '60s.

Say like there's a barbers' event or if you go to a fair or something,

this is going to come in right handy.

A portable coat stand.

That goes on there.

What do you think of that, Jim?

Black and white is what you've got in here.

So how much you want for it, mate?

250 quid.

-Ouch!

-Too much.

Too much, why?

I would say, from my experience, about £80.

No, Jim!

Over £1,000 these, brand-new.

Give me 220.

-Nah. I've got bills to pay, just come down.

-This is probably one of your bills you'll be paying.

Listen, I don't want you to go out with it, I want to keep it here.

-190.

-I'm not complaining.

-You just want less.

-Exactly.

-Yeah.

-Give us 175, me hand's there.

No, I'll say 140, me hand's there.

No, I'm going to retract me hand, no.

-155.

-160.

-No, 155.

-158.

-No, 155.

-Give me your hand!

-With his charity in mind, Danny pushed the price hard,

making an impressive £110 profit for the coat stand.

Jonty, I may not have had a trim, son, but...

..I'm looking sharp!

Yes, and with the sales evened up,

let's take a moment to consider the money made at this halfway stage

of the selling.

So far Jonty has sold two items, racking up a tidy profit of £50.

Danny has also done two deals, but has a profit of £143 in his pocket.

Jonty has some catching up to do in this profit race,

and next he's in Abingdon with his bike.

Found it. So this is a local cycle shop which I brought the bike to.

I know they sell brand-new bikes - the question is,

are they going to be interested in my second-hand bike?

And will owner Stewart like the recycled cycle enough to give Jonty

a return on his £35 investment?

Here's my bike. I need to sell it, what's your first impressions?

OK, a nice traditional ladies' bike, really.

They are very popular at the moment. It's got a basket, which is good.

Yep, that's extra, by the way.

Is it? We'll negotiate on that.

Really, what we'd do with this is we'd just put it through

the workshop, do a full service on it.

All I'm asking is £120 for my bike.

Well, when we take in a part exchange,

we always have to consider the work we'll have to do to it.

I'd probably go in at around £70-£75.

-OK.

-That sort of area.

Well, if you can do the £80, I'd be a happy man.

Yeah, 80 sounds good.

-Brilliant.

-Happy with that.

-Thanks very much indeed.

Now all I've got to do is get the bus home.

So Jonty cycled in, but he walks out with a £45 profit for the bike.

That's what you call a wheelie good deal.

Danny, are you feeling deflated?

Well, in fact, Danny is pumped up and ready for his next sale,

having gone to Kettering-based upcycler Steve,

hoping he might want the vintage film reel box as his next project.

It cost him £25.

Is it something that you might be well interested in?

It's nice, I like it.

Nice heavy hinges, nice clasps on it, good handles.

Would you take all this stuff off?

No, no. If it was for me, we'd work with it as it is.

This is a piece that, if the price was right...

The price is always right.

We wouldn't paint this piece.

And I think it's worth £100.

We're not going to start talking at £100, Danny.

Well, what I'm thinking is, with probably a set of legs on it,

it would make a great table, wouldn't it?

It may make a great table, but at £100 starting price, it's too high.

-How about 90?

-How about 70?

-How about 80, I'll go in the middle with you?

-80? Let's have a think.

-Me hand's ready.

-Go on, then, £80.

80 quid.

Danny makes a profit of £55 on the film box and gets to see what Steve

has planned for it.

We're kind of artists, in a way.

Definitely. It's going to look amazing, this.

-It's all about what's in here and in here.

-Yeah.

You've done a fabulous job. It's totally transformed it, hasn't it?

-It gives it another lease of life.

-I like the way you put that.

Ay, how fantastic!

Who would have thought that my reel box would have been turned into

a nice table? Jonty, I'm up-cycling, I'm recycling.

And, most important, I'm making plenty of profit, lad.

Try and catch me!

Yes, and when Danny sells his metal bear and golf print block

to a fellow dealer for a profit of £13, he makes it 4-3.

Jonty is going to have to paddle hard to stay afloat in this

turbulent selling half, as he sails into Maidenhead.

I brought my life buoy with me, to show Richard.

Now, Richard runs one of the oldest established businesses on the Thames,

and their business is to restore and build traditional boat craft.

But will he be interested in this?

Let's find out.

The decorative life buoy cost him £65 at the car boot,

so Jonty will be looking for a buoyant sale.

Now, look what I've brought you, a beautiful life buoy.

-Wow!

-How about that?

-That's got some colour to it, hasn't it?

-Two for the price of one. Here...

-Look at that.

-It's all on the other side, too.

-Fantastic.

-So we've got,

"Oxford Rowing 1922".

I just thought it could be up your street.

I think that might fit very nicely.

-You like this?

-Yeah, yeah.

I see it as more of a prop, Jonty, than a life ring that we'd use.

Well, it's cheap as chips.

I only want 150 quid for it.

-HE INHALES SHARPLY

-150? Wow.

I was more in the region of 100, Jonty, I've got to say.

-100?

-Yeah, cos it's just going to be a prop.

What about 125?

I've got to play hardball with you, Jonty.

-It's got to be 100.

-100?

Yeah.

It's going to a good home.

-110?

-Go on, then, 110.

Good man. Richard, thank you very much indeed.

Excellent. So where are we going to put that? Somewhere...?

I've got the perfect position - it's going to go in our showroom.

Look at this!

Very nice.

The life buoy prop has a new home,

and that £45 profit means that Jonty can swim away happily.

Danny, meanwhile, still has two to go.

For his bench, he's come to Clitheroe,

where he's hoping boutique-owner Helen will help him find some profit

on top of the £28 he paid for it.

You've got this up-cycling thing going on here, I'm sure.

My bench, here, now, I find it very...

You know, this kind of distressed French look.

-Yeah.

-That might fit in.

It would be useful for displaying bags on.

I'm thinking of introducing shoes into the shop.

Well, can I get a couple of bits? I just want to get a couple of bits,

and see if I can dress it up a little bit.

What do you reckon? I think it'll fit in!

Yeah, definitely, it will.

It depends on the price, really.

I'd like £95.

No, that's way too much.

I was thinking more round about the 40 range.

Oh, no, no, no.

I don't know how much you paid for it, but...

You're making me sweat! Come on, up your ante, Helen, up your ante.

-What're we saying, 75?

-55.

-Oh, no, a bit better than that.

-60.

-What if I said 75, and stuck my hand out?

Oh...

70?

Cor, I don't know if I can... That smile, that's just done it!

Give us your hand! Thanks very much.

I'll have a deal at 70. Cor, I bet you're going to put it in the window

-now, aren't you, and sell it!

-I'm going to sit down!

You're going to sit down!

Well, on that note, I'll leave you to it.

Whoo! I'm happy as Larry, I made a tidy little profit on that,

and I tell you what, that bench is going to look right as rain in Helen's shop.

But I'll tell you something else, Jonty,

you should have bought that bench.

Why? Because you're going to need something to sit down on,

when you find out how well I'm doing.

That's £42 profit for the bench,

and both our boys are down to their final items -

Danny's silver box and Jonty's silver spoons.

The Hitman was delighted when he found out that Danny had rejected

them at the car boot.

It's his loss, not mine.

Well, sadly for Jonty, it turns out it was his loss.

So I've sold my silver spoons for a £3 loss,

which is extraordinarily disappointing.

And if I look back, it's probably because they're not a set of six.

They should have even been in their original presentation box,

which would have made them very, very saleable indeed.

So, yeah, wow.

Very, very disappointing.

And that £3 loss signals the end of Jonty's selling spree.

Will Danny have better luck with his silver box?

It owes him £40,

so will Ramsbottom-based jewellers Dave and John think it's a gem?

How's the precious metal business going?

Gold and silver's been on the up.

The only unfortunate bit is that the price of silver -

it's made it too expensive to buy.

Is that a sales pitch, Dave, or what? Is he trying to knock my piece down already?!

-Have you got some silver?

-I've got a bit of silver for you.

I've got a very lovely little silver box.

1925, hallmarked, lovely stamp on the side,

little bit of a dentation on the side here,

but I don't think it's nothing to worry about, but I'm not the expert.

That's why I'm here, because I'm sure you'll give me a fair price,

if it's something that you like.

Originally a cigarette box?

-Yes.

-Get your glasses out, have a read of that.

The hinge is OK.

Hallmark's a bit rubbed, but it's been polished for a long time, so...

It's a run-of-the-mill cigarette box.

Yeah. But I don't want a run-of-the-mill price.

-You never do.

-No!

-What are you looking for for it?

-I'd like to see 150 quid.

So Danny is hoping to make a winning profit on his silver box.

But before we find out who's holding the silver bullet,

and who's going to be left howling at the moon,

let's remind ourselves of how much our boys spent.

They both started the day with £250 of their own money.

Jonty made five purchases, costing him a total of £193.

Danny bought more but spent less, picking up seven items for £162.

But one question still remains - who has made the biggest profit?

All of the money from today's challenge will go to our dealers' chosen charities.

So let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion!

-How are you?

-Not bad.

-Car-boot sale.

-My territory.

-I know.

But I like it at the old car-boot sale, I have to say.

There's always a bargain to be had at a car-boot sale.

There is, yes. Did you find any?

Yeah. I was quite pleased, actually.

All right. Not too bad.

-What was your biggest sale?

-My biggest sale would have been

my stacking Italian coat stand.

-That's what they called it?

-That's what they called it, yes.

Well, I took it to a barbershop, you know, where obviously when you're

getting your hair cut, you take your jacket off, hang it up.

-Yeah.

-And that's what they used it for.

-And your hat.

And your hat, yeah. Well, I won't be getting my hair cut!

And then, of course, my Wedgwood Sun King.

I took that to, like, a person who was into supernatural and stuff like

that. Now, would you believe it?

She actually said to me, when we looked in the crystal ball...

-Yes?

-"I can see you holding gold."

-Really?

-Well, we'll see if she's right or not.

-How did you get on?

-I sold my mirror, it did pretty well.

-Oh, I remember!

-Yeah, did pretty well on that.

-19th century.

-I sold my bicycle, got that away.

Rode off into the sunset with all my profits, I can tell you.

It's going to be hard for me to catch you on your bike!

Well, we need to find out. Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Whoa!

-Ooh!

-Argh!

-Look at that!

-Cor, I tell you what, Jonty,

it looks like that medium was right!

Yeah, you need to tell me a bit more about that.

I think I better give you a reading myself, yes.

Yes, Danny is victorious, making over twice as much money

as his opponent, polishing his lead when he saw this silver box.

105?

-Done.

-I think I have been, but...!

Making £65 profit, and himself the winner.

I always knew that Italian coat stand was a winner,

and that little silver box just brought home the gold!

If I hadn't have bought those silver spoons, well,

it could have been a different story.

So, Danny, you were right to avoid them.

But never fear, Jonty will get the chance to strike back tomorrow,

when he takes on his nemesis Danny once again at an antiques fair

in West Sussex.
