0:00:02 > 0:00:05We've all seen them on TV, but how will the country's
0:00:05 > 0:00:09favourite antiques experts fare when they are challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:10 > 0:00:14- Excellent. - He who laughs last, laughs loudest.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will be
0:00:19 > 0:00:23recreating some of their real-life deals as they go head-to-head
0:00:23 > 0:00:27and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Purchase of the week!
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Fantastic! I'm thrilled with that.
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.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10Today's distinguished dealers are collectibles connoisseur
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Paul "The Man From Morecambe" Hayes and the irrepressible
0:01:13 > 0:01:14Mark "Franksy" Franks.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I first started trading antiques when I was still at school,
0:01:19 > 0:01:21so I've been doing it, sort of, over ten years(!)
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Mark's no-nonsense approach and determination to win has served him well,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32whether it be trading Trash To Cash or finding hidden treasures on Car Booty.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36His opponent today is a second-generation antique dealer.
0:01:36 > 0:01:40Paul started buying and selling when he was just knee-high to a grasshopper.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Since then, he's grown up to become a well-dressed and highly-respected expert.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46OK, ready for work.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Do you know what? I was extremely lucky, actually.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53I got my big break in antiques because my father was interested, and he used to have a little shop
0:01:53 > 0:01:57here in Morecambe and I used to help him out and go to the antique fair.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02Paul can regularly be found hunting for Cash In The Attic or transforming Trash Into Cash.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06It's a shame one's not big enough for Mark Franks.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08That would be good. Throw away the key!
0:02:09 > 0:02:13So, our experts are ready and the stakes are sky-high.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16With reputations at risk, their own hard-earned money on the line
0:02:16 > 0:02:21and their charities wishing them well, it's time for us to find out the aim of today's game.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24Hello, Paul. You all right? I bought the sun from London.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27I said, "Bring me sunshine," coming from Morecambe.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Short, fat, hairy legs.- Thank you(!)
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- I've got this for you.- OK, thank you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Let's have a look. What have we got here?
0:02:33 > 0:02:38- "Mark and Paul. Your challenge today is to spend £750..." Easy.- Gosh.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41"..of your own money on antiques." Your own money.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46"You must then resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible."
0:02:46 > 0:02:51- You don't want to make a loss, do you?- No.- "The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."
0:02:51 > 0:02:56- OK. "Today, you must buy all your antiques from..."- Go on.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- "..an antique fair."- Thank goodness it's not a butcher's(!)- Exactly!
0:03:00 > 0:03:02- I think it's over there, mate. - Let's go.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09So, the challenge for our experts is to spend up to £750 of their own money at an antiques fair,
0:03:09 > 0:03:12before trying to sell on their purchases for a profit.
0:03:12 > 0:03:17Pretty much everybody that Mark and Paul try to do deals with will know that they're on a mission to make as
0:03:17 > 0:03:22much profit as possible for charity. And our experts will be doing everything in their power
0:03:22 > 0:03:28to get the best prices when they buy and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32Today's contest will take place at the Peterborough Festival of Antiques.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35In order to win, both Mr Hayes and Franksy
0:03:35 > 0:03:38are going to be looking for quirky and unusual items.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43- All right, John? How are you? - All right, mate, Mark. How are you?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46- Not bad. Any damage on this? - No, no damage.
0:03:47 > 0:03:4820 quid. Do a bit better?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- 15.- Do want a tenner?- No.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54- 15's enough.- 12 quid?- No.
0:03:54 > 0:03:5615, OK. You got a deal.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03This is what they call a yard of ale.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06So you can fill this up with ale or beer or bitter
0:04:06 > 0:04:10and you drink it. And if you're not careful, it goes all over you.
0:04:10 > 0:04:1215 quid.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17Well, that label is probably worth 15 quid, so I've got the glass for free.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19This will be fun. I don't know how I'm going to sell this
0:04:19 > 0:04:25or what I'm going to do with it, but I think this is an absolute bargain - and I will drink to that.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, it's no wonder Franksy is in high spirits.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32He's got the glass for a knockdown price.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39Inside, Paul's got his hands on a modern collectible.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44You really have to move with the times, don't you?
0:04:44 > 0:04:47I've been buying antiques now for over 20 years,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50so I started my training buying things really from Georgian times,
0:04:50 > 0:04:53the Victorian times. I never really bought much from
0:04:53 > 0:04:55the 1950s and '60s,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59but you can't help but like this stuff. This is called Homemaker,
0:04:59 > 0:05:01made by a firm called Ridgeways. And it's so retro.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05It's so funky, so modern. And that's really where the market is today.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09We have the epitome of British design done in the 1950s and '60s.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12We have a Robin Day chair here at the top,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15a coffee table which is shaped like the Sputnik.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's such a fantastic thing. The rock 'n roll era, really.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21These are actually a pair
0:05:21 > 0:05:24and they're on sale here today for £12 the pair.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And I think they're an absolute bargain.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33Mr Hayes clearly knows his stuff, but the big question is, can he negotiate a discount?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Now then, sir. Amongst all these lovely antique things,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- you have these modern 1950s plates. - Yes.- What's the best you can do?
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I've got 12 on them. I can do them for 10.
0:05:41 > 0:05:47Great. You haven't got any unusual shapes or any serviette rings or teapots or anything like that?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I don't think so. Just those really, today.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- So those are a tenner, that's the best price?- Yes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Right, OK. Is that 10 shillings or £10(?)
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- Pounds, I'm afraid. - Nice to meet you.- Thanks.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57Let's give you some money.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Yes, nice try, Paul.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03A £2 discount might not seem like a huge amount,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06but Mr Hayes is determined to prove what a great deal he got.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11This is a perfect example of why it really does pay to have a look around.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14This is a Homemaker plate, this is exactly the same as the ones
0:06:14 > 0:06:18I've just bought and this is £15. So, it's three times the price!
0:06:18 > 0:06:19So, use your eyes.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22There's no doubt about it, Paul sealed a great deal.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26Elsewhere, the man with the biggest little black book in the business
0:06:26 > 0:06:31has spotted one of his many contacts, and he's swooping in to try and secure another deal.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Hold up, Gordon. What you got there?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- Hello, Mark. How are you? - All right, mate.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36- Nice seeing you.- What we got?
0:06:36 > 0:06:40- Lots of bike seats.- 10, 12? How many's there? Do you know?
0:06:40 > 0:06:43- There was 13, which is unlucky, so I put another in.- Ah, great.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- 14. How much?- 100.- £100. That's a lot of money to me.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48£75.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- Well, you got yourself a deal. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55So, for £75, Mark's sealed another purchase,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58and with today's contest well under way,
0:06:58 > 0:07:02he's sticking to his strategy of snapping up unusual and quirky pieces.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Of course, he's also keen to poke a little gentle fun at his rival.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Ah, Paul. Nice hat.
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Mate, I think you're overdoing it with the diet a little bit.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18He might be in a jovial mood, but make no bones about it, Mark's determined to win today.
0:07:18 > 0:07:23And he's hoping he's snapped up some more potentially-profitable items.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Cobblers.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27They're the sort of people I'm going to sell this sign to.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Double-sided, Boot Repairs & Sussex Rubbers.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32It's got the little rubber bungs, tiny bit of damage.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36If you've got a good shoe repair shop you'll want this outside.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Now, this is great fun.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41A banana. Well, what can I say?
0:07:41 > 0:07:45I wanted weird and wonderful and it doesn't get much more than that,
0:07:45 > 0:07:47because it's such an unusual thing.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51I'm going to go to New Covent Garden in London and, hopefully, one of the
0:07:51 > 0:07:55fruit and veg dealers might want this on top of their vehicle. They can then be top banana.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Now, this sign will be of interest to many publicans and bars.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04There's enough of those in the country, so that should be easy to sell.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07This little parcel here cost me 120.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Yes, I tried to get it for less, but do you know what?
0:08:10 > 0:08:14I fancy this sign has got to be the best part of that. And the banana?
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Look at that. You could fit that on top of something and you've actually got the bolt to bolt it on.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23It's weird, it's wacky, it's wonderful and it's not made in China.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Indeed, it's not.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Paul was looking at pieces of porcelain in the indoor part of the market,
0:08:30 > 0:08:34but it looks as though he's tracked down something out of the ordinary.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Now then, I think I've found the piece de la resistance today.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41This really is an unusual item.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43What a fantastic piece.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47But it's very symbolic and this is actually really important in Buddhist culture
0:08:47 > 0:08:51and it dates from a guy, I think a writer, from the 14th century.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55And he told the story of a princess who was reincarnated
0:08:55 > 0:08:58and dragged off to the heavens on a horse with five heads.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Isn't that an amazing story?
0:09:00 > 0:09:02But the quality is absolutely superb.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05We have got the detail here in the carving of the brass work,
0:09:05 > 0:09:08the rosewood base. What a wonderful thing.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10It is on the stall here today for £200.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I think I can do a bit of a deal, but we are in the lap of the gods, so wish me luck.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18While Paul's hoping for good karma
0:09:18 > 0:09:22as he looks to rustle the five-headed horse for a knockdown price,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26his opponent is looking hard for his next potential buy.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31This is something quite interesting, which is worth having a look at.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Quite often you will see a chest of drawers like this,
0:09:34 > 0:09:36and it has got a cut down the side.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Some are made that way, and some have been cut, to get them into smaller houses.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44You have got to appreciate, years ago, when there were tiny,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47tiny cottages, the doors were small, the staircases were narrow,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50and if you wanted to get this upstairs and it would not fit,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54you would chop it in half. It does not actually take away its value at all.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56This is a lovely piece of furniture.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59450 quid, I spoke to Peter, he said he would probably do it for 400.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01It's an investment for the future.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05The chest of drawers might be a good investment,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09but Franksy is not prepared to gamble over half his budget on one item.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Inside, Mr Morecambe is haggling with the owner of the five-headed horse.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16How much is it?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20- It has got to be 180.- 180?
0:10:20 > 0:10:25- Yes, I mean, that's what I paid, basically, so...- OK.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30Yes, I don't think Paul is going to fall for the "That's how much I paid for it" line!
0:10:30 > 0:10:33He is determined to get a bargain.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Can you do any sort of discount at all?
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- I will knock 20 quid off. It's a big lump and I don't really want to take it home.- 160.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42150, we've got a deal.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44- Cash?- Cash. All right?
0:10:44 > 0:10:47That's smashing, thank you. You haven't a bag, have you?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Not for that, no.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It is quite heavy, as well.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53All right, OK, I'll take it. Oh, it is heavy and all.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01So, having shot the dealer's price down in flames, Paul rides away with his five-headed steed.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07Elsewhere in the market, Mark thinks he's found an item that's a cut above the norm.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- What's the story on this, it is an early one, isn't it?- 1920s.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- Is it?- Yes.- Does it run?- Yes, well, I have been told it was running.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Oh, so you're not going to give me a two-year guarantee?
0:11:17 > 0:11:19The petrol smells a bit stale.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24Yes, I think it might need a little bit of love. Nah, be all right.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I tell you what, this is nice and all. What's the story on that?
0:11:27 > 0:11:34Apparently they were radiator caps, on the top of the radiator, for the lorries.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- Go on, then, give us a price on the pair.- That has got to be 185.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41- 185.- That's for the lawnmower, and 20 quid on that.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45I'll tell you what I'm going to do, cos I know that you like these.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Oh, yes.- Look at those. Look.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53- You're salivating now, aren't you? - What have we got here?
0:11:53 > 0:11:59£160, in cash, and I will bring you back a cup of tea, with two sugars.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01How did you know I wanted two sugars?
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Because you're greedy. Deal?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Go on.- You're a good fella. Right.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11I'll be back later.
0:12:11 > 0:12:19So, for £45 less than the asking price, Mark has bagged a 1920s mower and radiator cap.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23It would appear that Paul Hayes is not the only man who can be bought with a cup of tea.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- Hello!- One cup of tea, with two sugars. How about that?
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Thank you very much, sir.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33- You're a man of your word. - I'll see you later.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35With today's contest well under way,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39it's time to find out who's splashing the cash and who's sinking without a trace.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46Our intrepid experts are allowed to spend up to £750 of their own money at today's antiques fair.
0:12:46 > 0:12:53Paul spent £160 on two items, leaving him with £590 in his kitty.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Mark has bought seven items, and parted with £370,
0:12:57 > 0:13:01which means he has still got up to £380 left to spend.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08With plenty of cash left in their kitties, there is all to play for,
0:13:08 > 0:13:12so the time has come for our experts to put their hands in their pockets
0:13:12 > 0:13:14and part with their cash.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17What about this?
0:13:17 > 0:13:20This is the most exciting thing I have seen here today -
0:13:20 > 0:13:22a rusty old clock.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26This was originally on a building at the seaside near Clacton,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28hence the rust.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31It is about 50 years old.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You can change the hands with this little thing here.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And what's so interesting about this clock is, a bit like Paul Hayes,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40it's got two faces!
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Have you ever seen anything like it in your life?
0:13:42 > 0:13:45I haven't. And the other thing that's really exciting
0:13:45 > 0:13:50on this stall is this, this old bronze bell.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53And I think it's time to do some haggling.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Whilst Mark's prepares for a face-off with the owner of the clock,
0:13:58 > 0:14:02Paul has found a couple of items that are out of this world.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I have found two watches, and they both have a Russian interest,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09but they also have a space-travel interest.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12And the first one here depicts the Sputnik satellite.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16That was launched in 1957, so this is a period watch.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19That's £45. Sounds quite cheap, doesn't it, really?
0:14:19 > 0:14:23And this one has a picture of a very famous astronaut called Yuri Gagarin,
0:14:23 > 0:14:28and he was the very first man to orbit the Earth, in 1961.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think, potentially, we have got two collectors.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Those interested in the space race, and interested in watches.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I'm going to see how much I can get these two for.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I spotted an Omega as well, which is quite a good,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41so I'm going to have a word with Philip.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Philip, how are you, all right? - Very well, thanks.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Can you do a price on those two for me?
0:14:46 > 0:14:49I like this, which is not so much run-of-the-mill,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52but this is a good quality watch that you come across quite a lot.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56Well, we've got 265 on that, and 90 on these two.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Well, buy the Omega and I'll put these two in,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00that makes it 265 for the three.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Shall we shake on that?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04SPEAKS RUSSIAN: As they say in Russia.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- Indeed.- Thank you very much. I have got to give you some money.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11So, Paul has boldly haggled and got an out-of-this-world deal.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13Three watches for the price of one.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Thank you very much.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Elsewhere in the market,
0:15:18 > 0:15:23Mark has been trekking around, searching for more potentially-profitable items,
0:15:23 > 0:15:25and he is hoping to use bare-faced cheek
0:15:25 > 0:15:28to bag the two-faced clock and bell.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31- Hello, Paula, how are you? - All right, thank you.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I have spotted something in your van.
0:15:33 > 0:15:34I'm going to do you a favour,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37I'll buy it off you and get rid of that rusty clock.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Oh, is that right? That's a really good clock,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41that's the best thing on the field.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43That clock is so interesting.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I like the clock, how much is it?
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Er, 250.- 250, £2.50?
0:15:49 > 0:15:51Oi! 250!
0:15:51 > 0:15:53What about that old bell?
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The bell? 75.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Yeah, sounds like this lady has heard it all before,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02but will Franks' cheeky haggling style pay off?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So, come on, what's the best on the pair?
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Er, 250. I will do you 250.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- 250 the pair?- Yeah.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I can't say no, can I?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Always a good deal, you know that,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17- that's why you keep coming back. - I know.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- And cash, Mark, that's unusual. - I know.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22There is no stopping our Battersea boy -
0:16:22 > 0:16:25he bagged the clock and effectively got the bell for free.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27What a result!
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Thank you.- You're welcome.- I will come and pick them up later.
0:16:30 > 0:16:31OK, that's wonderful.
0:16:31 > 0:16:36Inside, Paul has also been splashing the cash,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38and he has bought something he thinks will
0:16:38 > 0:16:40turn the tide on today's contest.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Do you know what? I am so excited today, I think
0:16:43 > 0:16:47I have found a wonderful painting, this really could be a show-stopper.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50What we have got here is a 19th century seascape.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53With me coming from Morecambe, the seaside, it fits in.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58If you look carefully, this has been beautifully painted.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Can you imagine the time it has taken to do?
0:17:00 > 0:17:04You have got this wonderful rustic scene along the coast here,
0:17:04 > 0:17:06you've got these people winching in the boats.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09It's a very pleasing picture, and I'm sure somebody would love it.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12But that isn't really the reason why I bought it.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15With paintings, it is all about the artist.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18On the back here, there is a little label tells us all about it.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22And this dates from 1968, and it says that under ultraviolet light,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25the name Hardy appears, and it says here,
0:17:25 > 0:17:31Thomas Bush Hardy, 1842 to 1897.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35And he painted around Folkestone and all over Europe. It is dated 1875.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Now, that artist is very well-known in the watercolour world.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43He painted Italy, France, the south coast,
0:17:43 > 0:17:46mainly around the sea areas, but he has a huge following.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50He was a serious artist, he exhibited everywhere, and his paintings,
0:17:50 > 0:17:53believe it or not, can go into the thousands.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56So I've paid £325 for this.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58I took a gamble, but if it goes into the thousands,
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I can't wait to see Mark's face, can you?
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Well, I think we can all take a pretty good guess as to how Mark
0:18:05 > 0:18:10will feel if Paul manages to sell the painting for big money.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13With Paul having splashed out on that purchase,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17it's time now to find out just how much our experts have spent.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Mark and Paul were allowed to spend up to £750
0:18:22 > 0:18:25of their own money at today's antiques market.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Paul spent his entire budget on six items.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Mark, on the other hand, has bought just nine items and spent £620.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Both experts have used all of their contacts
0:18:37 > 0:18:41and know-how to buy the pieces they think will make them the most money.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43But before they head home,
0:18:43 > 0:18:47they are keen to cast an inquisitive eye over their opponent's wares.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49How much money did you have?
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I spent everything.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55You've spend everything? You've got two plates, an empty box, a smudge and...
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- A what?- A smudge, a picture.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01A picture. But you know, mate, I always have something up my sleeve.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05You've got three watches, all with different times. They're nice.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- This picture is actually a watercolour. A good artist. - Not a print, no?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Not a print, I think that's a winner.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16That is a winner, I like that, that's really good. Do you want to see what I bought?
0:19:16 > 0:19:18- I can see from here, look at that!- Fancy a brew?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19A yard of ale, in fact.
0:19:19 > 0:19:2315 quid, Whitefriars, I think that's an absolute winner.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26- You could fill that up with tea and have a party.- No!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28What about this clock here?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30- A two-faced clock. - That's really good.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32I'll sell it to the Houses of Parliament.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- What is it about the saddles? - There's 14 saddles in there.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39They are all from the 1920s and 1930s.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42When they have had a bit of love, and perhaps a magic wand,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- they'll be very saleable.- Right, OK.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- Give us a hand. - No, you're all right.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- It looks a bit heavy. - Cheers, thanks, Paul(!)
0:19:48 > 0:19:53So, after a busy buying expedition, our experts will now
0:19:53 > 0:19:56have to sell their items for the biggest possible profit.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Mark's chances of victory rest on a Whitefriars yard glass,
0:20:01 > 0:20:04two signs, a giant banana,
0:20:04 > 0:20:0714 vintage leather bike saddles,
0:20:07 > 0:20:12a 1920s Atco lawnmower and radiator cap,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16a two-faced clock from Clacton-on-Sea and a bronze bell.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22Paul, meanwhile, will be trying to cash in on a pair of Homemaker plates,
0:20:22 > 0:20:24a brass and rosewood Buddhist sculpture,
0:20:24 > 0:20:30three wristwatches and a Thomas Bush Hardy 19th-century watercolour.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38So, after a real clash of the titans at the Peterborough Antiques Market,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41Paul and Mark have gone their separate ways
0:20:41 > 0:20:43to try and sell their items.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47They will pull out all the stops to find the right buyers for their goods,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51and they are working their way through their little black books, putting deals together.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54But until they have shaken on it,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57and money has changed hands, no deal is done.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Mark needs to get his lawnmower up and running,
0:21:00 > 0:21:03so he's called in a favour from his friend Rex.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Rex! Rex!
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Yes, yes. Mark!
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Goodness me, what have you brought me here?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Do you know, an Atco, this is a bit of quality,
0:21:15 > 0:21:17for once you've brought me some good stuff here.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19I tell you what, that was made by
0:21:19 > 0:21:22what was the Pugh's company, Pugh.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25That was made... This chap used to have this company,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28in the First World War they used to make small components,
0:21:28 > 0:21:29and he started making chains.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Because Atco is the Atlas Chain Company, you see?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Rex, can you get it going, yes or no?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- Well, of course, it is an Atco! - Go and get your tools!
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Now, that's not something you see very often -
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Mark Franks struggling to get a word in edgeways.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Rex clearly knows his stuff and he seems
0:21:48 > 0:21:52pretty confident that he can breathe new life into Mark's lawnmower.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54In Morecambe, Paul has hatched a plan
0:21:54 > 0:21:56to try and maximise the profits on his painting.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Do you remember this painting?
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I really like this painting, actually.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03It is a seascape, it is really well done,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07it is a nice watercolour, very visual item. And it is of Folkestone.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10I have decided to do with this is actually send it down
0:22:10 > 0:22:12to Folkestone, there is a nice auction house there,
0:22:12 > 0:22:15that gives it its best chance to sell. Let's see how it goes.
0:22:15 > 0:22:19It might not be plain sailing, but let's hope it is not too heavy a sea.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25The painting will be sold on the south coast, where it was originally painted.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28He has to allow for the auctioneer's commission,
0:22:28 > 0:22:32so he needs to sell it for more than £400 to make a profit.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37He has also decided to take a leap of faith by entering his Buddhist statue of a five-headed horse
0:22:37 > 0:22:40into one of his local auction houses in Liverpool.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47There is a temple in Angkor Wat in Cambodia which has a symbol
0:22:47 > 0:22:52with the five-headed horse, so, there is lots of interest, hopefully.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55As we're in a big city, that is the sort of thing people will understand,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59and if a few people take a fancy to this, let's see how we get on.
0:22:59 > 0:23:00It could go either way.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05We will see if Paul's auction strategy pays off shortly.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09In the Hampshire countryside, after a lot of tinkering...
0:23:09 > 0:23:12- Wahey!- He-hey!
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Look at that!- Brilliant!
0:23:16 > 0:23:19BENNY HILL THEME TUNE PLAYS
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Running like a dream, and it is all thanks to pal Rex.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30All Mark needs to do now is sell it.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34In London, Paul is hoping to sell one of the job lots
0:23:34 > 0:23:37of watches he bought for £265.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39He has e-mailed a picture of the watch to a dealer,
0:23:39 > 0:23:44but until they have shaken hands and the dealer has handed over the cash,
0:23:44 > 0:23:46the sale is far from done.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Hello. Hi, is it Jonathan?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51- Yes, Paul, how are you doing? - Pleased to meet you.
0:23:51 > 0:23:53- You have seen a photograph of this already.- Yes.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56- But here she is, this is an absolute beauty.- OK.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Omega, are Omega watches quite good at the moment?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01They are, yes, especially at the moment.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04It's a little bit worn on the bracelet,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06but that means it has had a good owner, I suppose.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08Automatic Cosmic 2000.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It is a Swiss automatic watch. It doesn't have a battery in it.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14- OK.- So, from my point of view, it is a real watch.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17With a battery inside, it's...
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Microchips and electronics and...
0:24:20 > 0:24:22This has a heart, you know?
0:24:22 > 0:24:25It was when they were making battery-powered watches,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28but this is an old mechanical movement.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31That's what we look for. We look for real Swiss technology.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I'm the same, things that tick rather than just a pulse.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- Yes.- Do you think it was made in 2000 or do you know anything about it?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41No, I know the Cosmic, and it was mainly, I think,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44from my knowledge, is the case construction.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49It was a very difficult watch to get into, it was highly waterproof,
0:24:49 > 0:24:52- anti-magnetic, anti-shock, you know? - Brilliant.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Probably originally sold for
0:24:55 > 0:25:02- £25 to £30, in about 1972 to '75.- OK.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04So, it has come up a bit.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07- Is that the sort of watch you're interested in?- Yes.
0:25:07 > 0:25:11It's nice, it's got the box. We always check under here to see
0:25:11 > 0:25:16if there's any paperwork, but this time there's not. The box is probably for ladies' watch,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19the ring being small. But it's still an Omega box.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25The dealer sounds interested, but can Mr Hayes seal a deal?
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Now, remember, Mr Franks was planning to sell his banana
0:25:29 > 0:25:33to a fruit and veg trader in Covent Garden Market in London.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35But he has had a change of heart,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39and he is headed to meet a hotel owner he knows in Brighton.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Remember, Mark paid £120 for the banana
0:25:42 > 0:25:44and two signs at the antiques fair.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46What do you say about that?!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54I've had a lot of interest in it from a lot of people,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58but I thought, big banana, Mark, it just seemed so right.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01The decor is so smart, classy and stunning,
0:26:01 > 0:26:04that this banana, I think, will fit in well.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Hang on a minute, that banana is a lot of things, but smart and classy?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10Might be pushing it a bit.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Franksy, though, is undeterred.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14You have got the style and the taste
0:26:14 > 0:26:19to appreciate such a unique, weird and wonderful item.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22And the stupidity. Um, but yeah...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24What d'you mean, stupidity? I would like £200 for that.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26- Would you, indeed?- Yes!
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I think, Mark, £200 is a little bit outside my budget, or a fair bit.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Get your hands on it first, Mark, before you say no.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37- It is a whopper, isn't it? It is a whopper.- It is!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39But so is £200.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41Right, OK, make me an offer, Mark, come on.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44130, that's the final offer.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I don't haggle, that's it, Mark.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- Will you throw in a nice cup of coffee?- No sugar?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Correct, he remembers! How good is that?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54We've got a deal.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Incredible. The giant banana might not be smart or classy,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06but Mark's selling pitch certainly was.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08And £130 is a real result.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Having paid £120 for the banana and two signs,
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Mr Franks is already £10 up,
0:27:13 > 0:27:18so everything he makes from the other two sales will be pure profit.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21It was quite a challenge to find the right man
0:27:21 > 0:27:24to appreciate my large banana.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27But I now think it's definitely in safe hands.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Well, I can't sit here any longer. I have more selling to do.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32Come on, let's get going.
0:27:32 > 0:27:37Well, credit to Mark for spotting that that banana was ripe for a profit.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39In the capital, Paul is working hard
0:27:39 > 0:27:42to close a sale on the first of his three watches.
0:27:44 > 0:27:45What d'you expect to get for it?
0:27:45 > 0:27:47I was hoping for around the 300 mark.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I was working on a third of the cost of a new one.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- Are you prepared to be disappointed or...?- Of course I am.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57It stands at £200, but a profit would be fantastic.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00I think you're in for a small profit. I could go to 240.
0:28:00 > 0:28:04What if I throw the box in, does that make any difference, say 250?
0:28:04 > 0:28:05I can go to 250, yeah.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- Excellent, sounds like a deal to me. - Nice to see you, Paul.- Cosmic!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Paul has squeezed as much as possible
0:28:13 > 0:28:15out of that negotiation, and he is a happy man.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19He might have sealed a deal, but having paid £265 for all
0:28:19 > 0:28:23three watches, Paul has still got work to do before he is in profit.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28He needs to knuckle down, because Mark is in fighting mood.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Morecambe. Eric Morecambe came from Morecambe. Bring me sunshine.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Well, I've got sunshine in Brighton, I don't need to go to Morecambe.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40With plates and watches and bits and bobs. Agh!
0:28:40 > 0:28:43Yes, they might be friends, but something tells me
0:28:43 > 0:28:46they're both desperate to win today's clash.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48And Mark moves his selling up a gear by offloading
0:28:48 > 0:28:50the radiator cap for £50.
0:28:52 > 0:28:57Remember, he bought the radiator cap as part of a joint deal with a lawnmower for £160,
0:28:57 > 0:29:02so £50 from this deal puts him well on the way to profit.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06But Franksy's not done yet, and he's headed
0:29:06 > 0:29:09to another contact to try and sell one of his signs.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13- Hello, Kev, how's it going? - Nice to see you. All right?
0:29:13 > 0:29:16I'm all right, I've got no boots, no shoes today.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19But I know you like a bit of this, what d'you reckon of that?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22That is lovely. Lovely condition.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24And it is a double-sider.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29- Are you interested in buying it? - In that condition, definitely, yes.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34- I was looking for about 90 quid. - I think a sign like that, about £30.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36It's hard work, isn't it?
0:29:36 > 0:29:38- 70 quid?- £50.- 60?
0:29:38 > 0:29:41- No, I'm going to stick at 50.- 55?
0:29:41 > 0:29:45I will give you £50, and I will do your red stilettos free of charge.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Keep that one quiet! Kev, you've got yourself a deal.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50- Good man, thank you. - Lovely, thank you.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53I'm sure he looks lovely in his red stilettos.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- There we go, thank you very much. - See you soon.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Don't forget your stilettos!
0:29:57 > 0:29:58Having made another sale,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Franksy is looking favourite to win today's competition.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04The pressure is beginning to build on Paul.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Mr Morecambe hasn't made any profit so far, but he has arranged
0:30:08 > 0:30:13to meet one of his contacts to try and sell his two remaining watches.
0:30:13 > 0:30:14Ah! Hello, Glenn.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Hi, Paul, how are you?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19- How is the emporium? Looking good.- Not so bad.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- A couple of watches to show you. - Let's have a look.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24This is where you do your business?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27You always have something interesting, Paul.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Don't expect a Rolex or your Breitlings or that sort of thing.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32This is something different.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35These are Russian cosmonaut-inspired watches.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38This one here, do you recognise that fella?
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Er, Yuri Gagarin, is it? - That's right.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44That's to commemorate the first man in space.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46That one there, do you recognise it?
0:30:46 > 0:30:47I don't, actually, what's that?
0:30:47 > 0:30:49That's the Sputnik satellite.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- So, that actually could be a bit earlier. 1950s.- Yeah.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54How rare are items like this?
0:30:54 > 0:30:58Up until recently, they were quite rare because outside Russia
0:30:58 > 0:31:01you didn't see any Russian goods, sort of thing.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03In the modern world, with the internet,
0:31:03 > 0:31:06and because the Iron Curtain is not there the same way,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08there's more Russian merchandise around.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10They were probably worth more years ago
0:31:10 > 0:31:14than they are actually worth now, because there's more about.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17What's the market like for space memorabilia?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Do you get lots of people coming in?
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Strangely enough, we haven't had anybody this week!
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- Really?!- But usually, they are coming in all the time, you know!
0:31:26 > 0:31:27A few people spaced out?!
0:31:27 > 0:31:32So, is this the sort of thing that you would be interested in?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Yes, they are interesting, really, they are a bit different.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- They don't look to be in bad condition.- No, they're all working.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41He's managed to make the shop owner smile,
0:31:41 > 0:31:46and he sounds interested, but Paul desperately needs to make a sale.
0:31:48 > 0:31:53In London, Mark is trying to sell his second sign to a pub landlord.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56What about two £20 notes?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59I think that's still a bit much. How about I give you 20?
0:31:59 > 0:32:02- And a fiver?- Er, about 20.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07Er... I'll tell you what, you've got yourself a deal.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- Excellent. - And a sign.- And a sign, brilliant.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- How about that?- £20, done.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18You're a star. Take care, cheers.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21That sale has given Mark a final profit of £80 on his
0:32:21 > 0:32:25job lot of three items, putting him firmly in the lead.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28Despite having already secured one sale,
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Paul is yet to make a profit on his three watches,
0:32:30 > 0:32:34but he's working hard to seal a deal for the remaining two.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36I was going to ask you a million roubles,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39but I'm not sure how much it is.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43But I was thinking about the £60 mark each.
0:32:43 > 0:32:48I think if we call it £50 apiece, which leaves us a bit of leeway,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50to obviously get them fixed, et cetera, Paul.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Right, well, I think you're in the right orbit.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56It is not out of this world.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01- Is that a deal?- That's a deal.- OK, thank you very much. M says hello.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03Always a pleasure.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05His jokes might not be the best - well, actually,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09they are terrible - but that's a brilliant deal for Paul,
0:33:09 > 0:33:12and he has made an £85 profit on his three watches.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Paul has racked up £350 worth of sales,
0:33:22 > 0:33:25and banked £85 worth of profit.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Mark, on the other hand,
0:33:27 > 0:33:32has sold £250 worth of goods and has £80 in his profit pot.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40With everything still to play for, our experts have hit the road
0:33:40 > 0:33:42in an effort to sell their remaining items.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Mark is on his way to see his pal Rex.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50- How is the lawnmower? - Coming along very well.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Today, I have been tinkering with it.- Let's see.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I have given it a good polish and shine.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I have to say, it looks smashing.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00I have not put a drop of paint on it,
0:34:00 > 0:34:05I have kept it absolutely original, with this lovely brass work.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- And also, as you can see, look at all that writing on there. - Beautiful.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Well, Mark might be happy with the lawnmower,
0:34:14 > 0:34:16but Rex has got more good news.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20He knows someone who's interested in buying it at the right price.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29He bought the lawnmower along with the radiator cap for £160.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Will he be able to sell it for a profit?
0:34:32 > 0:34:35It was a snip. It's a beautiful thing.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40Is it something you would be interested in?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43If the price was right we might have a go at it.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Go on, Nigel, make me an offer.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Well, I think £150 would be top money, wouldn't it?
0:34:49 > 0:34:51I think it stands being a bit more than that.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53What if I squeezed you up to £200?
0:34:53 > 0:34:56HE INHALES DEEPLY
0:34:56 > 0:34:58- It's only money.- 170.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01190.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04170 and a tenner for luck, 180.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07You've got yourself a deal. You are gent. Thank you, Nigel.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10£180 for the lawnmower is a good result.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13And, having sold the radiator cap for £50,
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Mark bags a £70 profit on the two items.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21He's on a real roll and he also seals a deal for the bell.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24£70 and I'll put my hand out to shake it. Come on, that's a good price.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27- Go on, then.- Yeah, deal. Lovely.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29The beers are on Richard, boys!
0:35:33 > 0:35:36Mark might have sold the bell but he bought it with the two-faced clock,
0:35:36 > 0:35:40so he's still got work to do before he's in profit.
0:35:40 > 0:35:4570 quid, not bad. I could have stayed there all afternoon, to be fair.
0:35:45 > 0:35:49But guess what? I've got work to do. Are you coming?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52And speaking of work, Mark's hard at it and he's aiming to sell
0:35:52 > 0:35:58his Whitefriars glass that he paid £15 for to another pub.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Would you have any interest in buying it?- Maybe a tenner.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- What? I was thinking like 50 quid. - 50?
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Um... 15? No, 20.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12£20? 40.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14£25?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16£35.
0:36:16 > 0:36:1730, that's the last.
0:36:17 > 0:36:1930 and a pint?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Maybe. No, 30.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24You've got a deal. Thank you, Kate.
0:36:24 > 0:36:31- 10, 20, 30. And the rest is mean. - Is it? OK, that's perfect.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34- You're an angel.- Thank you.- Just going to another pub for a pint.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38No, I'll have a lemonade, please. Quick as you like.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Well, that's a well-deserved drink for Franksy.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45He's doubled his money and the pressure is building on Paul.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Pint of lemonade. A yard of ale.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53I doubled my money. Thank you very much, I'll drink to that.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Mr Hayes, though, isn't a man to give in
0:36:56 > 0:36:57when the going gets rough.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00His Thomas Bush Hardy painting of the Kent coastline
0:37:00 > 0:37:02is about to go under the hammer.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Paul has chosen to sell it here because he thinks
0:37:05 > 0:37:07that local interest could push the price up.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11Remember, he bought it for £325.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15There's a 19th century watercolour of fishing boats off the Folkestone coast.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17You need to start me here at three.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19320. 330.
0:37:19 > 0:37:24340. Looking for 350. 350 anywhere?
0:37:24 > 0:37:29£340 is a good start, but if Paul wants to win today's competition,
0:37:29 > 0:37:31he needs the bidders to push the price higher.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Found somebody. Thank you. 350.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36360 anywhere. 360?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39370. 380.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42All done on 370. Going to sell it then.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44£370.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47354, thank you.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49That isn't good news for Mr Morecambe.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52After the auctioneer's fees are deducted,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55he's made a loss of just over £36.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58Mark is working hard to sell his items and he's brought his
0:37:58 > 0:38:04rusty old two-faced clock to a salvage reclamation specialist.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10- Light as a feather, Jesse. - Mark bought the clock and the rusty old bell for £250.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13He's already sold the bell for £70, so he needs to make at least
0:38:13 > 0:38:17£180 from this sale in order to make a profit on the two items.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20I'm going to put the ball in your court and you can make me an offer.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23£200 would be a fair offer.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26I think it probably cost me all of that, if not a bit more.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29I was thinking more than double that. I was thinking of a nice little £500.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- I'm sure you were. - 250 a face, how about that?
0:38:32 > 0:38:36You can think what you like. You're free to think what you like.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Really, you know, I think maybe
0:38:39 > 0:38:44you might twist my arm a little bit and say 250.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47I'll go down to 400. I'll knock 100 quid off, discount. There we are.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- 400 quid.- No, you're not close. You're not close enough.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- 350 to tempt you.- 300.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Is that your best offer? - That's my best offer.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I think it's time we had a deal.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Put the kettle on, will you?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Nicely done, Mr Franks. Along with the proceeds
0:39:03 > 0:39:09from the sale of the bell, he's made a profit of £120 on the two.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13Despite his best efforts, Mark sold the vintage bike saddles for a loss,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16but the good news is he's all sold up.
0:39:16 > 0:39:20His rival's only broken even on his two Ridgeway plates,
0:39:20 > 0:39:22so the outcome of today's contest
0:39:22 > 0:39:26now rests with Paul's statue of the five-headed horse.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29This is a big moment and he's arrived in Liverpool
0:39:29 > 0:39:31to see the statue being auctioned off.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33There's a good turnout in the saleroom,
0:39:33 > 0:39:37but Mr Morecambe is an anxious man.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39I'm hoping it'll go well under the hammer.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42My lot's going to come up any minute now, but I'm nervous.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44But it is in the lap of the gods, literally,
0:39:44 > 0:39:46so let's see how we get on.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Paul bought the statue for £150.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52It's now time for the bidding to begin.
0:39:52 > 0:39:58..which is a very fine bronze casting of a 19th-century Buddhist sculpture
0:39:58 > 0:40:01depicting a great chariot.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03It's on its original rosewood base.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06It is an antique one and it's very, very fine quality,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09ladies and gentlemen, so let's see what we can do with it.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13I think it's a very, very nice object. 100. 110, sir.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14120.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17130. 140.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19150 now. 150 behind the wardrobe.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22150, that's it.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23160, yes?
0:40:23 > 0:40:28Another one? 160, I think, is going to be bid. 160, thank you.
0:40:28 > 0:40:32- 160, OK. So, we're out on this one.- 180.
0:40:32 > 0:40:33190.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Well, the price is climbing,
0:40:35 > 0:40:39but will it climb high enough to give Paul victory today?
0:40:39 > 0:40:43We'll find out very shortly because it's now time to tot up the totals
0:40:43 > 0:40:46and find out how much our experts have made.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Both Paul and Mark were allowed to spend up to £750
0:40:52 > 0:40:55of their own money at the antiques fair.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Mr Franks parted with £620.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01Paul, on the other hand, spent every last penny.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06After a titanic tussle that's taken Mark and Paul all over the country,
0:41:06 > 0:41:09we've called them together in the capital to reveal
0:41:09 > 0:41:13who's going to be crowned today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19- Antique fair, now, I enjoyed that. - I had a fantastic day.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20I really did. I enjoyed it.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22- I bought a lot of wacky items. - You did.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26And you bought a few fairly conservative items.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- How did you get on with the watches? - The watches went well.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31In fact, they were intergalactic.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32I'm glad you sold them in time.
0:41:32 > 0:41:37Exactly. But also, how did you get on with that lawnmower?
0:41:37 > 0:41:40Yeah, I went door-to-door, cutting people's lawns and made £7.16.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43I got it fixed and I sold it for a small profit.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45This is going to be quite close, I think.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Are you ready? Three, two, one, let's go.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Yay! Fantastic. How did you manage that?
0:41:50 > 0:41:52Skill, technique and a lot of luck.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55I think a lot of that, as well.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57It ain't over. There's more challenges.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Come on, let's go.- Good luck.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02So, it's a terrific triumph for Mark.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Even though the auctioneer waived his commission, Paul's statue still
0:42:05 > 0:42:08didn't make enough money to win today's contest.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11210. Sold.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14That's great. Thank you very much. £210. That's wonderful.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16There's a profit there.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19£210 gave Mr Hayes a £60 profit,
0:42:19 > 0:42:24but it's Mark who emerged triumphant in today's clash.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I didn't want to buy china and glass and bits of boring furniture.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I wanted to buy more weird and wonderful items.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32And I'm well pleased.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36I saw what Mark bought. He bought a van load of very heavy stuff.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I'm surprised he's managed to sell it all.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41I just wish I'd done a bit better on what I bought.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Paul might have wished he'd made a bit more,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46but every penny of our experts' profits
0:42:46 > 0:42:48will be going to their good causes.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53Paul D'Auria Cancer Support Centre in Battersea. They need every penny they can get.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56It's a really small charity and it's struggling like mad.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58So, I'm well pleased.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00The lifeboats, the RNLI.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02They're purely a voluntary organisation
0:43:02 > 0:43:05and they need as much money as they can get.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Well, Mark may have pipped his rival to the post today,
0:43:07 > 0:43:11but tomorrow, both our experts will be playing away from home
0:43:11 > 0:43:15as we take them across the Channel to an antiques market in Belgium.
0:43:15 > 0:43:18Now, could this be the best £40 I've ever spent?
0:43:18 > 0:43:22I asked the gentleman the price on an object and I didn't understand a word he said.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24Have a butcher's at this.
0:43:24 > 0:43:30I brought you all this way and I'm going to show you an English chest of drawers.
