0:00:02 > 0:00:05We've all seen them on TV, but how will the country's favourite
0:00:05 > 0:00:09antiques experts fare when they're challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Watch out!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Who's going to make the biggest profit of all? Me.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17From car boot sales to auction houses,
0:00:17 > 0:00:21our experts will be recreating some of their real life deals
0:00:21 > 0:00:27as they go head to head and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Come on, Knowles. - The competition is really hot.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33The challenge to our experts is clear.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Dealers, put your money where your mouth is.
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Today's dashing experts are the smooth-talking Charlie "The Charmer" Ross
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and the king of ceramics, Eric "Knocker" Knowles.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Charlie built up his antiques know-how running his own auction house for 25 years.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22That moment when you're on the rostrum and start selling something,
0:01:22 > 0:01:24and two people start bidding, or three or four people
0:01:24 > 0:01:29and it makes 10, 20 times what you had expected it to make...
0:01:29 > 0:01:35He's best known for sharing his know-how and knowledge on the Antiques Roadshow and Flog It!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37This is a real work.
0:01:37 > 0:01:43His opponent today earned his stripes with 32 years working for a top London saleroom.
0:01:43 > 0:01:50If I had a choice, if I had a fantasy buy, it would be without question a good Tiffany lamp.
0:01:50 > 0:01:56Eric's a stalwart of the Antiques Roadshow, as they tour the country in search of treasure.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59I love having a rummage. I can't help it.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I'll go into your front room, I'll do a 360-degree turn, and I'll have worked out what there is there.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07So, our experts are poised and the stakes are high.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12With their reputations on the line, their own money at risk and the hopes of their favourite charities
0:02:12 > 0:02:17in their hands, it's time for us to find out what challenge awaits them.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Knocker! Morning.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Good morning, Charmer.- Lovely day.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Lovely day.- Where are we?
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Well, we're obviously at a sports ground, and I can see you've brought a bit of a crowd with you today.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32Listen, I've got to give you that, and you've got to give me this.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Shall I open first?- Go for it.
0:02:35 > 0:02:36"Eric and Charlie,
0:02:36 > 0:02:43"your challenge today is to spend £750 of your own money on antiques.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47"You must then re-sell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- "The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."- Right, OK.
0:02:51 > 0:02:56"Today, you must buy all your antiques from an antiques fair."
0:02:56 > 0:02:59And it says here, "Good luck."
0:02:59 > 0:03:02So I think we'd better get there pretty well post haste, don't you?
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Good luck, Knocker.- See you there.
0:03:05 > 0:03:10So, our antiques gurus each have to spend up to £750 of their own cash
0:03:10 > 0:03:15buying antiques, which they will have to sell on later for a profit.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19Pretty much everybody that Charlie and Eric try and do deals with will be aware that they're
0:03:19 > 0:03:23on a mission to raise as much money as possible for charity.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And our experts will be doing everything in THEIR power
0:03:25 > 0:03:28to persuade people to give them the best possible prices
0:03:28 > 0:03:33when they try to buy and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Charlie and Eric will be going head-to-head at Ardingly Antiques Fair in West Sussex.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41It's one of the biggest antiques fairs in southern England.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45With up to 1,700 stalls, it should provide rich pickings -
0:03:45 > 0:03:49but with so much to choose from, are our boys up to the challenge?
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Well, my strategy for a place like Ardingly
0:03:54 > 0:03:58is to remember exactly where I am, because this place is ginormous.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59It's very easy to get lost,
0:03:59 > 0:04:04and it's very easy to actually miss what might be crucial stalls.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09On top of that, I'll be switching on my bargain-o-meter, which I do by doing this,
0:04:09 > 0:04:14and what happens there is that I'm now actually between this ear and this ear
0:04:14 > 0:04:17completely focused on looking for the bargains.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25So while Mr Knowles is working his socks off, using his knowledge to his advantage,
0:04:25 > 0:04:30I'm just going to lie here, make a couple of phone calls, phone a couple of mates,
0:04:30 > 0:04:33see if I can get a couple of bargains...and then, job done.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36In the meanwhile, I'm going to have a kip.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40So, Charlie's planning to take a laid-back approach to the challenge,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43whilst Eric will be relying on his bargain-o-meter.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Time will tell which approach is best suited to today's mission.
0:04:46 > 0:04:51True to his word, the Charmer is straight on the phone to one of his contacts.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Ah, Mick?
0:04:53 > 0:04:57It's Charlie here. How are you?
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Lovely day for it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'm going to radio and see if I can buy something off you.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Whereabouts are you?
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Trust you to park near an ice cream van. Fantastic!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10I'll see you shortly.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12OK. Thanks, mate. Goodbye.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14Never know!
0:05:14 > 0:05:19So, the Charmer is sticking to his strategy and is on his way to see an old friend.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Elsewhere, Knocker is doing it the old-fashioned way.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25I'm going to go round in a big loop.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31# One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you. #
0:05:31 > 0:05:32Lorenzo with no legs -
0:05:32 > 0:05:37it's a bit like jam roly-poly without custard, isn't it, really?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Eric's doing his best to see each and every stall.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43You've got to do a deal, haven't you?
0:05:43 > 0:05:46And remember, there are over a thousand.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49But Charlie has spotted something en route that's got his pulse a-racing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53Should we be taking my blood pressure at the beginning of the day,
0:05:53 > 0:05:54or the end of the day?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It would be nice to do both, see how it compares.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Whether this still works or not, I don't know,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02but it looks pretty complete.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Put the strap round your arm, pump it up, and then it makes
0:06:05 > 0:06:10a pinging sound - or should do - when it gets to the correct pressure.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Madam, is this your blood pressure gauge?- It is.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Do you want to take your blood pressure? Is it going to be...?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19After talking to you, I wouldn't mind. It'll go through the roof!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Yes, they don't call him the Charmer for nothing!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24And whilst Mr Ross gets ready to start haggling,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28his opponent hasn't stood still for long enough to find anything yet.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30The old bargain-o-meter's playing up.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33No, there's nothing here with a light flashing on it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35I'm moving and shaking, OK?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Fancy that, it's not as old as I'd like it to be.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42I can hear it saying, "We're here. We're waiting for you."
0:06:42 > 0:06:45I've never seen the shape before. It's a good-looking thing.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48No, no, I'm looking out for something good, really good.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Eric's working hard, but his rival is hoping to put the pressure on
0:06:51 > 0:06:53by sealing the first deal of the day.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55How much is it?
0:06:55 > 0:06:58- £15.- £15?- Very good, nice old one.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Would you take a tenner?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Yeah, go on then. - Oh! I should have offered you five.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Hold on, I've got real money.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09First buy of the day. Something to take my blood pressure with.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13A bag, that would be lovely. Wonderful.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Have a lovely day. Thank you.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20Charlie's leisurely pace seems to be paying dividends, but having scoured the market,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Knocker has seen something that's stopped him in his tracks.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Now, my eye has been drawn to this rather splendid dish.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I just love blue and white,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35and it's a handsome dish, but it has got this damage down here.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Normally chips like this don't really matter, but cracks do.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43And although I'm tempted, I'm going to leave it for somebody else
0:07:43 > 0:07:46to take home and treasure and fondle.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Cos the great thing about ceramics is you can fondle without fear.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Easy, tiger! It might be "fondlable",
0:07:54 > 0:07:57but because of the damage, Eric's decided the plate isn't saleable.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02Elsewhere in the market, Charlie's found his contact that he phoned earlier.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08He's spotted a piece he likes and intends to haggle hard.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10It's post-Regency -
0:08:10 > 0:08:12the Regency period, 1820 -
0:08:12 > 0:08:14but it's not heavy enough to be Victorian,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17so it follows in between the two. It's in a fairly sorry state, Mick.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20You have bashed a few bits off it in the van, haven't you?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24No, I can assure you it was like it when we took it out of the house.
0:08:24 > 0:08:25The only problem of course is the price.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29It's got £219 on one side, and £140 on the other -
0:08:29 > 0:08:32well, I'm going to start at £140.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34That's a good price to start at.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- So you will take 50 quid for that, won't you?- I certainly will not,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41but I'm certainly sure we can come to an agreement.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- What about 120? - It's better than 140.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49But an old mate deserves a better discount than...
0:08:49 > 0:08:51It's more than 10%.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- I'm prepared to pay £100. - Gosh, you're a hard man.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- I'll give you 100 quid.- You're getting harder as you get older.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- Getting older, certainly. - A deal, sir.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07I'll shake your hand. I think that's great, Mick. I think that's fantastic.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- Steal it from the mother-in-law?- No! - HE LAUGHS
0:09:11 > 0:09:16The Charmer is on brilliant form. That's another purchase,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19and he's knocked a hefty sum off the asking price.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It's been a one-horse race today so far. But what's this -
0:09:23 > 0:09:25is Eric coming up on the inside?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29That's a handsome looking decanter. That's probably Belgian,
0:09:29 > 0:09:34it's probably by a maker called Val Saint Lambert,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and it's handsome. Probably about 1910 or something like that.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41- What's the asking price?- £120.
0:09:42 > 0:09:43Ooh...
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Right, £120.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49And...well, what's the best? Come on, what's the very best?
0:09:52 > 0:09:53About £100.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Eric's pulling out all the stops -
0:09:55 > 0:09:59well, some of the stops - to secure a knockdown price.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04And outside, Charlie's lining up another - yes, Eric - ANOTHER purchase.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Mr Stephens...
0:10:06 > 0:10:08another deal!
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Money's flying. - I'm going to leave your stall.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12He's spent another £15.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16Charlie's contacts are coming up trumps for him today.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21However, Knocker has finally tuned into his bargain-o-meter.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26There's something else in here saying to me, "You've got £80 to spend, Eric.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27"Will £80 buy it?"
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- Yeah - all right, I'll do that. - Would you? OK.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Right, you've got yourself a deal.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35- Thank you.- Thank YOU very much.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Today's buying battle is well and truly under way.
0:10:38 > 0:10:45Charlie may have set the early purchasing pace, but inside, Knocker Knowles has his eyes on the prize.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51I should stay clear of things I don't really understand,
0:10:51 > 0:10:54but now and then you see something, you think "I like that."
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Because it's a lovely print,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59and there's every chance that that was hand-coloured
0:10:59 > 0:11:03in the Victorian age, or maybe even early 20th century.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05But it works, it looks lovely.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07And...what's the price?
0:11:09 > 0:11:11£42.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14You know, £42 for an 18th-century print like this, framed -
0:11:14 > 0:11:17I mean, the frame's £40 worth.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22We'll go and try a little bit of a hard bit of bargaining here.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Eric needs the bargaining to go well,
0:11:26 > 0:11:28because his rival means business.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30Look what I've just bought.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Isn't that beautiful?
0:11:32 > 0:11:34A lady's walking cane.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Rosewood stem,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39carved ivory leg.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Now, we have to be careful with carved ivory.
0:11:42 > 0:11:47It's pre-1947, so provided we know that it's 19th century...
0:11:47 > 0:11:51And if ever anything was early 19th century, it was this.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53It's French.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55Beautifully carved leg.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57Perhaps a little plump in the calf, do we think?
0:11:57 > 0:12:02There are a lot of collectors about who will buy this sort of thing.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05The guy asked £150 for this.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I offered £100. We settled at £120.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11And I think at £120 there's a pretty useful profit in there.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I think it's just perfect. Very swish.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15Here goes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:21Well, Charlie looks quite the dapper gent and he sees a healthy potential profit in the walking stick -
0:12:21 > 0:12:23but Knocker's got good news too.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27I'm pleased to say that the sun is shining on the righteous out here
0:12:27 > 0:12:30in Ardingly today, and one or two of the ungodly as well.
0:12:30 > 0:12:35The good news is that the coloured print that I was admiring, I've gone and bought.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39The lady dealer gave me a 10% discount, and I thought that's good enough for me.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42The only thing is that I've got an awful lot more to buy.
0:12:42 > 0:12:47And I'm rather conscious that the competition is really hot.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55Eric's finally fired up about today's challenge, and hopefully his earlier legwork will come in handy.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58With his bargain-o-meter on red alert,
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Mr Knowles homes in on his favourite type of antique.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03130 for cash, OK.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07I don't normally buy on impulse.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10But if you look really carefully, if you look there...
0:13:10 > 0:13:13there's a red light flashing.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15And if you look there - can you see that bubble?
0:13:15 > 0:13:18It says there, look, "Buy me."
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Well, if you can't see it, I can.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24I guess the bargain-o-meter worked after all, Eric.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26As if we ever doubted you.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30The competition is really hotting up today.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Eric and Charlie both set out on their mission with £750.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Knocker has splashed out £247 on three items,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42leaving him with £503 to spend.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Charlie "The Charmer" Ross, on the other hand, has bought
0:13:45 > 0:13:48four items and parted with £245,
0:13:48 > 0:13:51leaving £505 in his kitty.
0:13:55 > 0:14:00With over £1,000 left to spend between them, our treasure hunters need to get busy.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04There are plenty of stalls and no shortage of items on offer,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06and Knocker Knowles is on the case.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Now, I don't mind admitting, I like this, because it's a quality item.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13First of all, it's cut glass, it's not pressed.
0:14:13 > 0:14:18And it's unusual insofar as you've got this silver-plated foot rim.
0:14:18 > 0:14:24But the crowning glory really is that lovely cover.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27It leaves you in no doubt what you're going to keep in there.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30So it's £50.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35If that's £50, you've got a buyer, and he's called Eric Knowles.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37OK? Although I do answer to George Clooney.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39In my dreams.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Yes... Whilst Eric dreams of Mr Clooney,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Charlie is dreaming of a life on the ocean wave.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Look what I've found here.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50The Bunting Yacht Fire.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Pure Art Deco, and '38, '39.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56Sadly, the filament's broken.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58So whether you could get
0:14:58 > 0:15:01another one of those, I rather doubt.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04But do you think you could make it into a lamp? You possibly could.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Polish it all up,
0:15:05 > 0:15:10and put a light bulb, a fluorescent light bulb, from top to bottom.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Wouldn't it make a fantastic lamp?
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I think I might call him over
0:15:15 > 0:15:17and see how much he wants for it.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Wait for him to say £175, and then I'll have to run off.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- How much is this object? - How much would you like to pay, sir?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's £110. You can have it for £70.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- £70. So 60 quid'll do the job? - Absolutely.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Quickest negotiation I've ever done!
0:15:32 > 0:15:38Charlie may be top of the haggling class, but he's not the only one who's happy with their latest deal.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Well, look what I bought.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43Do you know, you start questioning the meaning of life
0:15:43 > 0:15:46when you start looking at a biscuit barrel like that
0:15:46 > 0:15:48and you begin to eulogise about it.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51You think - "You should get out a little bit more, Eric."
0:15:51 > 0:15:53But having said that,
0:15:53 > 0:15:57I've got to say that this is the biscuit barrel of biscuit barrels.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00In fact, you could say - and I know it's painful -
0:16:00 > 0:16:03this one really does take the biscuit.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08It's a good thing he's better at buying antiques than he is at telling jokes.
0:16:08 > 0:16:14Having borrowed the yacht seller's headgear, even Charlie has his own thoughts about Eric's comedy skills.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Fetch me Eric Knowles this instant.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20I have the hat, I have the cane,
0:16:20 > 0:16:26and Eric, trust me - this is going to hurt you a lot more than it hurts me.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28I'll find you.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Fortunately for Knocker, despite the relish in his voice,
0:16:31 > 0:16:38Charlie's concentrating on buying game-winning pieces and has tracked a contact with a cabinet to sell.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42- A very fine cabinet. - It's really fascinating.
0:16:42 > 0:16:43I think it's extraordinary.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46- Cos it's kingwood... - It is, and walnut on the top...
0:16:46 > 0:16:48..and walnut on the sides as well.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53- And it's mid-Victorian, it's 1860... - Yeah.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56Just needs a bit of TLC.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I can see that.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Got your glue kit(?)
0:17:01 > 0:17:03There's a bit of gilt metal missing as well.
0:17:04 > 0:17:05But that's all right.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Can we try and get the door in?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I think it would look pretty... Even with its warp.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12There we go.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Very smart. You'd like a pair, wouldn't you?
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Yeah. I think the price has just gone up, Charlie! Look at that.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- That's a good-looking cabinet. - Isn't it?- What do you want for it?
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- I could be interested.- Well, I would have thought about 480.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Not Euros - £480.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Just look at the quality, Charlie.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38£480?!
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Well, you've got to try and make a profit.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47A bit of veneer missing there. So you've got a little bit to do.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49200 quid?
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Well, if you can find a few for me,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I'll gladly buy them off you at that kind of money.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58No, I'm trying to buy the damn thing.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Well, if this is how he treats his friends, I wouldn't want to be Charlie's enemy.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Outside, there's bad news for Knocker.
0:18:05 > 0:18:10He's got hundreds of pounds to spend, and some of the stallholders are beginning to pack up.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12I thought it closed at 6:00.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I've just been told they close in like... I thought it was 6:00, but it's 5:00.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Don't panic, Captain Mainwaring.
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Do you know, this is so sad. I'll tell you why.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27It reminds me of when I used to work on Burnley market as a kid,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30and the saddest time was the packing up at the end...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33MUSIC: Theme from "Last Of The Summer Wine"
0:18:33 > 0:18:34..when the atmosphere evaporated,
0:18:34 > 0:18:39and the only thing that kept me going was knowing that the caff in the corner
0:18:39 > 0:18:42sold all the puddings at half price,
0:18:42 > 0:18:45so you could have a double helping of baked jam roll
0:18:45 > 0:18:48and custard that was thick enough to draw through your teeth.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51- MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY - Just showing me age, really.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Oh, come on now, Eric, focus! You need to spend some money.
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Elsewhere, Charlie's working hard to seal a big deal for the cabinet.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01250.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- 380. - It's still too much money at 380.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Can we shake at 300 quid? I'll pay you 300 quid for it and no more.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Can't do it for that, Charlie.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17330.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- 330?- 330.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Do you like the way this man is...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- What are you...?! - 330, Charlie, come on.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26- You can't take it with you.- What...?
0:19:27 > 0:19:29It's getting there.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31300 quid.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- I'm very excited about that. - How to lose money quickly!
0:19:37 > 0:19:40- Stately home material. - Could be a winner.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Fingers crossed. Thanks, Adrian, very much indeed.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Quite pleased with that.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48By George, he's got it! Charlie stood firm with his offer,
0:19:48 > 0:19:53and bought the cabinet for nearly £200 less than the asking price.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55That's how it's done.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00I have nailed that cabinet. I think I rather put him through the ringer, don't you?
0:20:00 > 0:20:02I offered him 300 quid, he nearly had a heart attack.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05He started at 480. 460. 440.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10300! 420, 400, 380, 300!
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And I think we agreed at 300. I'm still a bit shell-shocked with that.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18And I think there is the best part of 100% in that.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Eric, if you're watching - good profit!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Elsewhere, Knocker's also sounding pretty pleased with himself.
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Burnley's finest has picked up a Victorian chair.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35It was £45. So when the gentleman said that,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I said, "I think I may be buying that."
0:20:37 > 0:20:40So er...Eric's a happy bunny.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44And the happy bunny has also sown up the purchase
0:20:44 > 0:20:48of a portrait of one of history's most important figures.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Well, I've just spent some money on George Washington.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Date-wise,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57probably around about 1860 or thereabouts.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59The frame - well, if you look at the frame,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03the technical term for that frame...is "knackered"!
0:21:03 > 0:21:05It certainly needs a lot of work on it.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08And as for the tapestry itself -
0:21:08 > 0:21:10well, that is in need of a jolly good clean.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So I've got to invest a little bit in the way of money
0:21:13 > 0:21:14when it comes to presentation.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18"And what price George Washington?" you might be asking.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Well, I paid the princely sum of £120
0:21:22 > 0:21:25for this first President of the United States of America.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Now, when it comes to the selling, all I need now
0:21:28 > 0:21:33is the proper and full address of President Barack Obama,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and I could be in the money.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36"Ladies and gentlemen,
0:21:36 > 0:21:40"the President is about to leave the showground"!
0:21:40 > 0:21:42MUSIC: "The Star-Spangled Banner"
0:21:43 > 0:21:46Yes, and he's not the only one. Time's up for Charlie and Eric.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50So, let's find out how much they've spent.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54They both started the day with up to £750 to spend.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58Eric has parted with just £462, on six items.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Charlie has also bought six items,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03and he spent £605.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Our ultra-competitive pair have thrown themselves into today's challenge.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Before they head off to try and make a profit,
0:22:12 > 0:22:17they're both desperate to have a sneaky look at each other's purchases.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Have you had a good day, Eric? - I've had a very nice day.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24The sun's been shining on the righteous - and let's be honest, one or two of the ungodly out there.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27But all things considered, it's been a smashing day.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31And I don't know about you, but I've been bumping into lots of people that I knew.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Amazing how many people I saw that used to come to my saleroom.
0:22:35 > 0:22:36What's your best buy? Come on.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40- The nicest thing, I think, is the walking stick.- Oh, the walking stick?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Time will tell. And what about you?
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Well, for me - biscuit barrel. You know you're getting sad in life
0:22:46 > 0:22:47when you get excited about them.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50- But that is a Rolls-Royce of biscuit barrels.- It is a good one.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55But it's remarkable, bearing in mind the sheer size of this place, that
0:22:55 > 0:22:59that we've been able to actually sort of ferret out some good objects.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02Yeah, yeah. I'm going to get them loaded up into the car
0:23:02 > 0:23:04- and go home.- Good to see you.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- And you.- Happy selling.- Thank you.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09So, as our treasure hunters head for home,
0:23:09 > 0:23:13Eric is taking with him a cut glass biscuit jar,
0:23:13 > 0:23:14a print of Greenwich,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16an Arts and Crafts chair,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20a late 19th-century tapestry of George Washington,
0:23:20 > 0:23:23a Belgian cranberry glass decanter,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and an Art Deco Crown Devon vase.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31His rival will be attempting to sell a vintage blood pressure gauge,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34an early 19th-century ivory-topped walking stick,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37a large gilded overmantel mirror,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39a collection of copper and brassware,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42an Art Deco yacht-shaped heater,
0:23:42 > 0:23:46and a striking Victorian kingwood and walnut cabinet.
0:23:48 > 0:23:53After their market adventure, our two antique-hunting knights
0:23:53 > 0:23:56have headed back to their castles to prepare for the next part of the battle.
0:23:56 > 0:24:01They now have to try and sell their purchases to make as much profit as possible.
0:24:01 > 0:24:07Eric and Charlie will be knuckling down to find the right buyers for all of their items.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11They're working through their little black books, putting deals together on the phone and by e-mail.
0:24:11 > 0:24:17But until they've shaken on it and money's changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Never one to hang around, Charmer Ross
0:24:19 > 0:24:23is off to get one of his most expensive purchases restored.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26I think it's quite nice. I think it's got potential.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29But as you can see the door is warped.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33- And some of the veneer is coming off. - OK.- Tell me what you think.
0:24:33 > 0:24:34Well, I think it's rather nice.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37And it is interesting you've got walnut on the sides,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40walnut on the top and kingwood on the front.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- I don't know why it's like that. - No, no.- I've never seen that before.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I've never seen that combination. Is it English?
0:24:46 > 0:24:47I think it's definitely English.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51Anyway, what about the damage for doing it?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54The panel's completely bowed, and the veneer's lifting.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58- And we'll have to re-veneer a piece on the back.- Right.
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Flatten the panel, clean the polish off the back,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07find an eighth-of-an-inch piece of veneer, of thin board, mahogany,
0:25:07 > 0:25:09and glue it on the back.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11That's fantastic.
0:25:11 > 0:25:13It's quite difficult to put in, because...
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- But it'll look good when it's done. - Oh yes, no, it'll be very smart.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19So, cutting to the chase, how much to do it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:22Probably a couple of hundred pounds.
0:25:22 > 0:25:27Remember, any restoration costs will eat into his profit - but Charlie is a man with a plan.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Right. So, when you sell something,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- it needs delivering...- Yes.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40If I made myself available for lots of trips - free delivery service - could I work off £200?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45Well, I'm sure you could. Careful how you say that though!
0:25:45 > 0:25:48So I could deliver things. I've got an estate car.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Yes... OK. Yes, you could.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54- If we come up with a rate... - A £40 delivery.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You'll restore this if I do five deliveries?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- That's right, absolutely. - I think that's fantastic.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01- We've got a deal.- We've got a deal.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05Charlie's determined to win today's contest, and he's not afraid
0:26:05 > 0:26:08to get his hands dirty if it helps him to beat Knocker.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11He'll need to do five deliveries to work off his debt.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15However, he isn't done with his restorer just yet.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Well, when I bought this, I thought I was buying an absolute steal.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24I bought it at the fair, and I thought "I can get £300 for this standing on my head."
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Oh, I don't think so... Standing on your head(!)
0:26:30 > 0:26:31DEJECTEDLY: Oh.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Yes, oh indeed.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36This isn't going very well.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40If I made you a once and never-to-be-repeated offer...
0:26:40 > 0:26:42150 quid.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44140.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46You are so hard!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51145, and I'll shake you by the hand.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53All right, 145.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55That gives me a profit of 45%.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57That's fantastic, we've got a deal.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00£45 profit is a lot less than the Charmer was hoping for -
0:27:00 > 0:27:04but he still banks the first cash of the day.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06This will be a fight to the finish,
0:27:06 > 0:27:09and Knocker Knowles has headed to the bright lights of London
0:27:09 > 0:27:11with some of his favourite buys.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13PET SHOP BOYS: # Call the police, there's a madman around
0:27:13 > 0:27:15# Running down underground
0:27:15 > 0:27:17# To a dive bar in a West End town
0:27:17 > 0:27:20# In a West End town in a dead end world
0:27:20 > 0:27:24# The East End boys and West End girls
0:27:24 > 0:27:26# West End girls. #
0:27:26 > 0:27:32Our Burnley boy might be far from home, but he's ready to take the West End by storm.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Well, I may have bought my things in a field in Sussex,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38but when it comes to the selling, I'm here in central London.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43I'm in a very smart part of Mayfair, outside a very important antiques centre.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45I've made a few phone calls beforehand,
0:27:45 > 0:27:48and a couple of dealers have expressed an interest
0:27:48 > 0:27:52in my biscuit barrel and also in my decanter.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56So let's see if they're going to put THEIR money where THEIR mouths are.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Good luck, Knocker. Go forth and conquer.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Hello, Arnold. How are you? - Nice to see you.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08And you too. I come bearing gifts.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10Well, gifts at a price, anyway.
0:28:10 > 0:28:11One biscuit barrel.
0:28:11 > 0:28:15All right. Let me put that there. Let me move this stuff to one side.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18Yes, it's a nice hobnail cut...
0:28:18 > 0:28:23- A few minor little chips, but nothing tragic.- No.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- It's a good quality piece.- Good.
0:28:26 > 0:28:32Um... Well, it's yours for £100.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33Eric, Eric.
0:28:33 > 0:28:38Very nice, but at this moment,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42- plate is not exactly flying out. - No.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44How about 70?
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Ooh, I'm not so sure about 70. I tell you what -
0:28:48 > 0:28:50£80, and it's yours.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55- OK. You've got a deal.- All right.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- Thank you.- Excellent. Thank you very much for being Eric-friendly.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01Bye-bye.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Nicely done, Eric.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06That's a £30 profit - and Mr Knowles wastes no time
0:29:06 > 0:29:11trying to secure a profit on his £80 cranberry glass decanter...
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- It's a fabulous decanter, isn't it? - It is.- It is.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16OK, it will be fine.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- 130?- Yes.- 130. Put it there.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23..topping up his profit pot by another £50.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26London Town is coming up trumps for Knocker today,
0:29:26 > 0:29:28and he's taken an early lead,
0:29:28 > 0:29:30but whilst he pounds the city streets,
0:29:30 > 0:29:35his opponent is taking a more laid-back approach to selling.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43I bet Eric's up and down, up and down the country trying to sell his bits.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46And here I am, in my local, having a pint.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48And while I'm here, I thought I'd sell something.
0:29:48 > 0:29:49Because it's an old pub,
0:29:49 > 0:29:53I've got an old Victorian watering can which I bought at the fair,
0:29:53 > 0:29:57and we've got a lovely landlord, he's bound to buy it. So, here goes.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Cheers, Eric.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02- Sean!- Hello, Charlie, how are you?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- I'm doing well.- Nice to see you. - Enjoying a little pint.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- I should hope so.- Now, have you got a watering can in your pub?
0:30:09 > 0:30:12No, but I could do with one for my little plants in the conservatory.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Could you?- Yeah. It's pretty sweet.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16- It's old.- Is it?- Victorian. Yeah.
0:30:16 > 0:30:1830 quid?
0:30:18 > 0:30:21I'm a poor publican, Charlie. Come on, let's be fair.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Well, try me.- I'll give you 15.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- 20 quid and it's yours. - Done. £20 it is.- Superb. Thank you!
0:30:27 > 0:30:28Thank you very much.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30Short and sweet.
0:30:30 > 0:30:34£20 isn't a bad price for the watering can, and Charlie sells the rest of the items
0:30:34 > 0:30:37from the mixed lot of copper and brassware
0:30:37 > 0:30:42to another of his contacts, giving him a total profit of £70.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45The Charmer is on a roll, and there's more good news
0:30:45 > 0:30:50when he bags another £5 profit for his antique blood pressure gauge.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55Both our gents are slugging it out to get ahead in today's profit-making competition.
0:30:56 > 0:31:00In London, Eric's pulling out the big guns with his most expensive purchase.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Having paid £130 for the vase,
0:31:03 > 0:31:07he's going to need to work his socks off.
0:31:07 > 0:31:08Mm. Well, it is very nice, yes.
0:31:08 > 0:31:14Oh, good. That's the seal of approval from probably this country's top collector!
0:31:14 > 0:31:19It's like a Mattajade piece, but it doesn't actually SAY Mattajade.
0:31:19 > 0:31:24- Hang on a minute. Mattajade...? - That's a kind of line,
0:31:24 > 0:31:27it's a sort of... a type of Crown Devon.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30- It's not actually Mattajade, but it's like it.- It's like it. OK.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Cos that was a name I'd heard before.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I've certainly not seen this shape before.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I thought it was a good shape.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39But look at the condition.
0:31:39 > 0:31:40Go on, Eric. Reel him in.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Anyway - yes, very, very nice. So what would you like for it?
0:31:44 > 0:31:46- Well, do you want to buy it? - Yes, I'd like to buy it.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I'd quite like to buy it. I'm quite prepared to buy it.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51I'll give you £225 for it.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53£225? That's more than enough.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55I think you're being very generous.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Well, I'm not being generous - to me it's worth it.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- I'm a potaholic.- Are you? - Yeah.- Well, I am a bit.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- I think you are a lot, actually. - I do like this stuff.- Good.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10- Just in case it went up to 250. - No, no! It's going to 225.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12- Well, that's good enough for me. - OK?- Pleasure.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15That's £95 into Eric's profit pot.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Another smooth deal from the king of ceramics,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20and Knocker can hardly believe his luck.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24He who laughs last, laughs loudest.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27Our two treasure hunters are both desperate for victory today,
0:32:27 > 0:32:31but the winner will be the one who makes the most profit.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Eric has stormed into an early lead,
0:32:33 > 0:32:39selling £435 worth of goods and netting £175 profit.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Charlie is trailing in second place,
0:32:41 > 0:32:48with just £245 worth of goods sold and £120 of profit in his pocket.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Mr Ross might be lagging behind,
0:32:52 > 0:32:55but he's waiting for his most expensive purchase, the cabinet,
0:32:55 > 0:32:58to be restored to its former glory.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04He's also sent his Art Deco yacht heater to another restorer,
0:33:04 > 0:33:07so he's hoping to land some serious blows
0:33:07 > 0:33:09when these two items are shipshape and ready to sell.
0:33:09 > 0:33:15His rival is also working hard, and has decided to invest in a little restoration work of his own.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Let's have a look.- OK?
0:33:17 > 0:33:20- Yeah.- Let's put it like so.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- You got it?- Right...- OK.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28Well, as chairs go, it's pretty sound but I have to admit, Nigel,
0:33:28 > 0:33:30it does look a bit tired, bless, doesn't it?
0:33:30 > 0:33:31It needs a bit of a facelift.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35And look at that fabric. It's just so appalling.
0:33:35 > 0:33:36So...what do you think?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Erm, the problem with chairs like this is
0:33:39 > 0:33:42they were glued together with the old animal glue,
0:33:42 > 0:33:46and when the glue gets warm it loosens the joints,
0:33:46 > 0:33:51and so obviously we've got to take it apart and reglue it completely.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Hang on a minute. You started off talking about a facelift -
0:33:53 > 0:33:56it seems to me that we're moving more into sort of
0:33:56 > 0:33:59open-heart surgery with this one.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01At the end of the day, if we've got to sell a chair,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- you can't sell a rickety chair. - That's true.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06If you're going to spend money out, do it properly.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08I'm just conscious about spending the money out.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10I know what I paid for it.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Plus your charges -
0:34:12 > 0:34:16you then sell it, and then we split the profit.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Yeah, I think we could cut a deal on that.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22It just leaves me to say...
0:34:22 > 0:34:26- maestro, just work your magic. - We'll see what we can do.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30Eric hasn't quite struck the same deal as silver-tongued Charlie.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32And 50% of his profits going to the restorer
0:34:32 > 0:34:34could have a big impact on his money pot.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38The same restorer has given his tapestry a makeover for a set price of £80,
0:34:38 > 0:34:43and a newly revitalized George Washington pours plenty of cash into Eric's kitty.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45It's a one-off price, and it's £450. Are we happy with that?
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- I'd love it. I'll go get a cheque right now.- OK.- Thank you very much.
0:34:49 > 0:34:50That's a pleasure.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Nice work, Knocker.
0:34:52 > 0:34:56That's a whopping £250 into Eric's profit pot,
0:34:56 > 0:34:58and there's more good news for Mr Knowles
0:34:58 > 0:35:02as he bags another £63 profit from the sale of his Greenwich print.
0:35:02 > 0:35:07Eric's pulling out all the stops to beat Charlie, but don't underestimate the Charmer!
0:35:07 > 0:35:10He's hoping to pull off a show-stopping deal.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13The quirky walking stick with the leg-shaped handle
0:35:13 > 0:35:16was one of Charlie's favourite market purchases,
0:35:16 > 0:35:19and he's hoping for a high-kicking profit.
0:35:19 > 0:35:20That's absolutely lovely.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24A lovely ivory leg on there. Nice and plump. French, I should think.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28- Yep.- Early 19th century, late 18th century maybe.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32I think it's early 19th. I would think it's 1830, 1840.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36- Super thing.- I think the handle belongs to the cane.
0:35:36 > 0:35:38So often you see marriages.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41Oh, I think it's always been on there, yes.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Right. Interested in buying it?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Yes. I'll make you an offer for it.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49How much?
0:35:49 > 0:35:50£200.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54£200 will give Mr Ross an £80 profit -
0:35:54 > 0:35:58but our silver-tongued Charmer isn't about to accept the first offer.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02It's more than I thought you'd offer, but it's not enough. It's worth 500.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You know it's worth £500!
0:36:06 > 0:36:08It might be worth 500 to somebody one day.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:36:10 > 0:36:12300.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16I'll come down to 400, but no lower.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19- Are you sure? - Yeah, I'll do a deal at 400.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- 400.- Fantastic.- That's great. Let's go and sort out the money, then.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24- Rather!- In the office, yeah. OK?
0:36:26 > 0:36:32Wow - Charlie keeps his cool and nets a colossal £280 profit.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36With both our antique heavyweights banking hundreds of pounds at a time
0:36:36 > 0:36:38this is going to be a fight to the finish.
0:36:38 > 0:36:45The Charmer's selling spree continues when the Art Deco yacht heater delivers an excellent profit.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I'll sell it to you for 250 quid.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49I'd say yes.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- Would you?- Yes.- Let's shake on it. Where are we going to put it?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Shall we try it in the study? Let's go and have a look.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58- Right, lead on.- OK. Off we go.
0:36:58 > 0:37:00That is a sensational result for Charlie.
0:37:00 > 0:37:06Even with nearly £60 worth of restoration fees, he's more than doubled his money.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09There's no stopping him at the moment.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11How are you getting on, Knocker?
0:37:11 > 0:37:14I suspect not quite well enough.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17You're up against the top man here.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Yes, well, Knocker's also determined to win today's contest.
0:37:20 > 0:37:25He's aiming to cash in on his newly restored Arts and Crafts chair,
0:37:25 > 0:37:28and there's interest from a very famous buyer.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- Shaky!- Pleased to meet you. Yeah.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I'd never have you down as being and Arts and Crafts man.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37I thought you'd be... I thought you'd be a '50s retro man, whatever.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Ah, see?- Just goes to show.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43He's been very mysterious with me on the telephone.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46He says, "You'll know him, you'll know him." Do you like the chair?
0:37:46 > 0:37:47I think it's fantastic.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52- The material and everything is great.- The fabric works, doesn't it?
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Remember, Eric bought the chair for £45 - but with half
0:37:55 > 0:38:00the profits going to the restorer, he needs to haggle, and haggle hard.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I feel like I've been caught on the hop here
0:38:02 > 0:38:04because we haven't even talked about a price.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08So we'll be up front with you, Shaky.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09So, Nigel, come on -
0:38:09 > 0:38:13if that's in your shop window, what's it going to be priced at?
0:38:13 > 0:38:18I would think that I would put that in the shop for about £240 to £250.
0:38:18 > 0:38:24But obviously Shaky's a regular customer of mine, so we need to give him a good deal.
0:38:24 > 0:38:29So I was thinking of £200. Don't know how that sounds to you.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Well, I'll have to go out and do some busking, but...
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Well, you're never short of a crowd, are you?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Could you hold the chair for a couple of weeks(?)
0:38:38 > 0:38:41You can go out the front if you want.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43- Are you happy with 200?- Yeah, I'm...
0:38:43 > 0:38:45OK. I mean, we're all...
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Are we all happy?- We're all happy. - Put it there.- Thank you.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49I'm going to ring my mum and tell her.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51THEY ALL LAUGH
0:38:54 > 0:38:56That's £155 profit -
0:38:56 > 0:39:01but with 50% going to the restorer, Eric will only bank half of that.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Not bad - but will it be to enough to win today's competition?
0:39:05 > 0:39:09Knocker has made some massive sales, but the Charmer is hoping for a knockout blow
0:39:09 > 0:39:12as he lines up a buyer for the newly restored cabinet.
0:39:14 > 0:39:19Are you still buying hotly like you used to in the past? Yeah?
0:39:19 > 0:39:20Pier cabinet.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22Oh, it's good.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25It's got lovely mounts on it, it's been restored.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27At least you'll have a look at it, won't you?
0:39:27 > 0:39:29You're a good man.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Well, I'll bring it along. Get your chequebook out!
0:39:32 > 0:39:36That sounds promising, but it's all or nothing now for the Charmer.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40He might have an interested buyer, but if he fails to seal the deal
0:39:40 > 0:39:42he'll be handing victory to his rival.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Right. On the table, without spoiling your lovely table...
0:39:47 > 0:39:50How's that?
0:39:50 > 0:39:51What do you think?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Well, I think it's very nice.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57It is good. I mean, it's a really unusual combination.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01It's walnut on the top, walnut
0:40:01 > 0:40:04down here, walnut on the plinth,
0:40:04 > 0:40:06and the rest of it is kingwood.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- So you tell me, is it French or is it English?- French.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12But it's got real English qualities to it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17These ormolu mounts, which look very French, are fantastic quality.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22They're better quality, really, than this in the middle here.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- But it's good.- Sounds like the price is going up, Charlie.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28The price is so reasonable, you can't believe it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Well, we'll find out shortly if the buyer agrees with Charlie -
0:40:32 > 0:40:36and remember, if he fails to sell it Eric will be today's winner.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39Time now to count up how much profit our warring experts have made,
0:40:39 > 0:40:43and reveal which one of them will emerge victorious.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Eric spent £462 at the market,
0:40:47 > 0:40:52but his restoration costs took his total spend to just under £620.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Charlie, on the other hand, spent £605 at the market
0:40:56 > 0:40:59and a further £58 on restoration.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02All of our experts' profits will be going to charity,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04so without further ado
0:41:04 > 0:41:10it's time to reveal who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- How are you, matey? - I'm good, thanks.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16- How was Ardingly for you?- Big.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18- It's a big place, isn't it?! - It certainly is.
0:41:18 > 0:41:22I've got you down now for sure as being a leg and thigh man.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24Yes?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27- Cos that was quite a walking stick. - You refer to my walking stick.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30That was the easiest thing to sell. But you bought some nice things.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I did all right, yes. I think so.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35George Washington? How did he do?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38- He's er...he's now on somebody's wall in Connecticut.- What?!
0:41:38 > 0:41:43- That's brilliant.- But Charlie, the question I'm now asking myself -
0:41:43 > 0:41:46- how we went on with our profits. - I am sitting on a thumper here.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49OK. Well, show the man... and here we go.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54Ohhh!
0:41:54 > 0:41:57You're printing that money! That is staggering.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59This was a result, wasn't it?
0:41:59 > 0:42:02That is a result and a half.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Well, that's not bad.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07Well, it all adds to the coffers - but even so,
0:42:07 > 0:42:10you've virtually doubled me. I'm stuck for words.
0:42:10 > 0:42:16In fact, I don't want to come across as a very bad loser but I'm going to
0:42:16 > 0:42:19phone my mum - because...Charlie, I'm losing the will to live.
