0:00:02 > 0:00:09How will the country's antiques experts fare when challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11If that's £50, you've got a buyer.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15There's Knocker's stuff just leaving!
0:00:15 > 0:00:21From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will recreate 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 > 0:00:30- 100% profit.- £300 - that is amazing.
0:00:30 > 0:00:36The challenge to our experts is clear. Dealers, put your money where your mouth is.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Today's treasure-hunting Trojans are ceramics expert Eric Knocker Knowles
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and Charlie the Charmer Ross.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Charlie lives and breathes antiques, having run his own auction house for 25 years.
0:01:18 > 0:01:24The first lot I ever sold, I sold under reserve by £6 and I was on £3 a week,
0:01:24 > 0:01:30so it cost me two weeks' wages and I hope I've never sold anything below reserve ever again.
0:01:30 > 0:01:36He travels the country as part of the Antiques Roadshow team and shows the public how to Flog It.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Eric, now you can see my daytime job.
0:01:39 > 0:01:44Eric has spent 32 years working for top London saleroom Bonhams,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47but has been fascinated by antiques all his life.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I grew up in a part of north-east Lancashire steeped in history -
0:01:51 > 0:01:57Pendle Witches, Clitheroe Castle, Skipton Castle, Whalley Abbey. It was all there.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01He too makes regular appearances as part of the Antiques Roadshow team.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05I like to mix and work with passionate people.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10I'm not interested in those people who are just interested. Bring on the passionates!
0:02:10 > 0:02:14So we have our warriors and with their reputations
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and hopes of their charities dangling by a thread,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21it's time for us to find out the aim of today's game.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24The iconic Mr Knowles!
0:02:24 > 0:02:27The illustrious Mr Ross!
0:02:27 > 0:02:31- How are you?- I'm fine. I've got one of these for you.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Let's swap. You go first. - OK. What does it say?
0:02:34 > 0:02:40It says, "Eric and Charlie, your challenge today is to spend up to £250 of your own money..."
0:02:40 > 0:02:43What's new there? "..on antiques.
0:02:43 > 0:02:49"You must resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:02:49 > 0:02:54- "The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash." - That would be me.- Don't bet on it.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56What have I got here?
0:02:56 > 0:03:00"Today, you must buy all your antiques from...a car boot sale.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- "Good luck."- Are you still feeling lucky?- Not at all.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08- And with good reason. But either way, do your best.- Good luck.
0:03:09 > 0:03:16Today, our two seasoned pros each have to spend up to £250 of their own cash buying antiques,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20which they'll sell on later for a profit.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25Almost everybody Eric and Charlie try to do deals with will know they're on a mission
0:03:25 > 0:03:30to raise as much money as possible for charity and our experts will do everything to persuade people
0:03:30 > 0:03:36to give them the best prices when they buy and sell the items they hope will drive them to victory.
0:03:36 > 0:03:42They'll be slugging it out at a car boot sale in Ringwood in the heart of Dorset and, as ever,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46the Charmer and Knocker have got two very different strategies.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52Charlie, to no-one's surprise, will rely on his smooth talking to bag himself some bargains.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I expect Eric loves Rod Stewart.
0:03:55 > 0:04:01But Eric will be snapping up any potentially profitable items he sees without hesitation.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07I've got a passion for blue and white and it doesn't really matter what it is.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10This is quite a well-known design
0:04:10 > 0:04:14because this is referred to as the Wild Rose pattern.
0:04:14 > 0:04:20Lots of factories did it - in Staffordshire and they even made it in Middlesbrough.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22This one dates to probably around about 1840.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28If we turn it over, what does it tell us? Number 15, but there's no maker's mark.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Doesn't make any great odds, really, because they're not worth very much.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34There was a lot of 'em!
0:04:34 > 0:04:38It's a little bit tired, but for £3, I'm going to have it.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40It's coming home with me, is that.
0:04:40 > 0:04:47He seems happy with the buy and it looks as if he's got all the right moves for today's clash.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49The name is Powers.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52Antique Powers.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56But his plans could be thwarted by the evil Dr Ross.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Domination...
0:04:58 > 0:05:02in the world of antiques. Ha-ha-ha-ha!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05# Da-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
0:05:05 > 0:05:07# Da-da-da-da-da... #
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'm going to steal your antiques mojo, Knowles.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Ha-ha-ha!
0:05:16 > 0:05:20The doctor may be coming, but armed with a sharp suit,
0:05:20 > 0:05:24bags of antique know-how and some slightly dodgy shades,
0:05:24 > 0:05:30our international bargain spotter is cool, calm and collected and he's bagged himself another real bargain.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Groovy, baby!
0:05:32 > 0:05:35I've just bought a pair of decanters.
0:05:35 > 0:05:41He wanted 20 quid for them, but I got them for 15, so I'm feeling rather good about that.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44The great thing is they are a pair and they are cut.
0:05:44 > 0:05:49As for condition, there's a little bruise on the stopper, tiny thing.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53And also on the base, a little bruise just on the rim.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56By bruise I mean an extremely shallow little chip,
0:05:56 > 0:05:59but of very minor consequence.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01It doesn't show in any shape or form.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06You could have it polished away and you wouldn't notice it at all.
0:06:06 > 0:06:14The sad truth of this situation is that if I wanted to go and buy a cut-glass decanter of this quality,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18new in the high street, I'm not going to buy it for less than £100,
0:06:18 > 0:06:23so at £15 for a pair, well, something of a steal, really.
0:06:25 > 0:06:31Yes, we'll drink to that and with his rival setting a blistering pace, the pressure is on Charlie,
0:06:31 > 0:06:34but Mr Ross has found something that could get him into the game.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- £8 for the two?- £8 for the two. - I think they're a snip.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Impressive work, Mr Ross.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43On the other side of the sale, Eric is feeling a tad nostalgic.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48How much is, dare I ask, the Antiques Roadshow game?
0:06:48 > 0:06:51- I was asking £2 for it.- £2.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56I'm going to buy it quick, not because I think it's necessarily worth £2,
0:06:56 > 0:07:00but I don't want it to be seen to be going so cheap, so take the money.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03- I can now retire(!) - Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07A slice of Eric's history for just £2 - what a bargain!
0:07:07 > 0:07:13Mr Knowles is on a roll and sticking to his strategy of buying anything that might make a profit.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19He picks up a cocktail shaker for £12 and a trio of silk panels for a tenner.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Charlie, though, is hot on his heels.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25What a "feet" of engineering!
0:07:25 > 0:07:31I have found a box full of early 19th century, cast brass feet.
0:07:31 > 0:07:36They must have come off some pretty good bits of furniture in their day.
0:07:36 > 0:07:42I bought six or eight of these feet. The lady wanted £45 for them, but I bought them for 20.
0:07:42 > 0:07:48I think these hairy paw feet will flash up a good bit of furniture.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54It's my job to find a restorer who's going to be able to use these
0:07:54 > 0:07:57and turn them into something wonderful.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Well, he's got high hopes, but Charlie is a furniture enthusiast.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06With no actual chairs or tables here today, he's turned to furniture accessories instead.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12Both our experts have got plenty of money left to spend,
0:08:12 > 0:08:17and knowing Eric is a dab hand at picking out good porcelain,
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Charlie's decided to take him on at his own game.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23What have I found?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Early Jasperware Wedgwood in a boot fair!
0:08:29 > 0:08:31It's plastic.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Dialene plastic.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Oh, bother!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43No threat to the king of ceramics just yet then.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47One, two. Testing, one, two. It still works.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51But Charlie has managed to sniff out a few other porcelain pieces -
0:08:51 > 0:08:54a collection of Goss china, two Carlton Ware dishes
0:08:54 > 0:08:58and a pair of Kutani vases costing £47 in total.
0:08:58 > 0:09:03Elsewhere in the sale, the maestro is eyeing up some silver.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05This is an interesting little box.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Weird - double-hinged.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11But a good maker cos if you look in here, you see "JD & S".
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That's James Dixon & Sons.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18They're a Sheffield maker and it says on here "EPBM".
0:09:18 > 0:09:23More often than not, you'll find "EPNS" which is electro-plated nickel silver,
0:09:23 > 0:09:29but when you find "EPBM", it tells you that it's electro-plated Britannia metal.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33Britannia metal is basically a metal which is an alloy,
0:09:33 > 0:09:39which, to all intents and purposes, looks a little bit like pewter, but it allows itself to be plated.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43But I've never seen one of these before in my life,
0:09:43 > 0:09:46so I think I need to ask the question...
0:09:46 > 0:09:50- Excuse me.- Sorry.- It's all right. What is this?
0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's a huntsman's sandwich box.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55A huntsman's sandwich box, OK.
0:09:55 > 0:10:02- He's watching his weight cos you're not going to get many sandwiches in there. How much is it?- £8.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05£8. And what about your copper kettle?
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Well, the kettle is a Victorian kettle.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- You can tell by the tongue-and-groove base.- Yeah.
0:10:11 > 0:10:15- And also you can see tongue and grooving down there.- OK.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- And the inside is tin-lined... - Right.- ..which is what they do.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- So it's got all the credentials? - It's got all the credentials, yes.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Now, I'm asking £18 for that. - What if I bought this and this?
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Well, I'd stick at 8 for that, but you could have this for 15.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- That sounds fair enough to me. - Thank you, sir.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- All right, well, put the kettle on(!) We'll do a deal.- Right.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Very good.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45£23 and two more sales to Knocker.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49Elsewhere in the sale, his rival is in a bit of a spin.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57Knocker will be wondering why I bought this.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I'm wondering a bit, because it's not old.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03And it's not valuable, but a great friend of mine
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Geoff Clarke, who runs Opera de la Luna,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09said he's doing a production and he must have a globe
0:11:09 > 0:11:11to sit on a desk.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14He can't afford an old globe, because it would be
0:11:14 > 0:11:16hundreds if not thousands of pounds
0:11:16 > 0:11:18but this I have bought for £2.
0:11:18 > 0:11:24I think he can old it up a bit, make all the bits red that used to be British
0:11:24 > 0:11:28hundreds of years ago and then I can probably sell it to him
0:11:28 > 0:11:3210, 20? Bit of a snip, really.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Anyway, money makes the world go round.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Indeed it does, Mr Ross, and that would be a good profit.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Whilst Charlie carries on browsing, Eric's buying is being held up
0:11:44 > 0:11:48as he attracts attention from the other buyers and this is not the first time.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Having made a programme wearing a builder's outfit and a moustache,
0:11:52 > 0:11:57I'm being mistaken for somebody in Village People.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59# Y-M-C-A
0:11:59 > 0:12:01# It's fun to stay at the... #
0:12:01 > 0:12:08Whilst Eric relives his youth, Charlie, unable to find antiques, has bought books on the subject.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12At £12, he's hoping there's a profit in these pages.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Elsewhere, Eric has spotted something he likes.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19I couldn't resist this mirror for the simple reason that it was cheap
0:12:19 > 0:12:24and that's my real criteria for buying things here today.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28If I think I can make a profit, I'll buy it and I've gone and done it, but it's a nice mirror.
0:12:28 > 0:12:33I suppose we're looking around about 1850, 1860.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38But having paid less than £25 for it, I'm feeling rather pleased.
0:12:38 > 0:12:43Eric is buying anything that he thinks will make him a profit.
0:12:43 > 0:12:49With today's contest getting fiercer and fiercer, he's keen to see how his rival is doing.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- Just the man!- Knocker!
0:12:51 > 0:12:56- Blimey! I jumped out of my skin! - How is it going anyway?- Forwards!
0:12:56 > 0:13:02- It's unbelievably hard work.- It's not an easy one.- You told me it would be hard. An old pro like you!
0:13:02 > 0:13:09- The truth is, you being a furniture man, I think I've seen about half a dozen pieces of furniture.- Yeah.
0:13:09 > 0:13:15The best thing I've bought is a book on furniture, the nearest I've got to a nice piece of furniture.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- I bought a Victorian mirror.- Well done. How much do you want for it?
0:13:19 > 0:13:23Once I've done it up, I'll give you a ring.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Will you take 30 quid now, blind?
0:13:25 > 0:13:30- I'm tempted, Charlie, but I don't want you to waste your money at this stage.- I've got cash.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33No, don't blind me with science.
0:13:33 > 0:13:39Go out there. I've got a feeling there's something lurking out there for you. You never know your luck.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Luck is what he needs plenty of!
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Both our treasure hunters are desperate for victory today.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50You can smell the competitive spirit in the air.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54They started with a budget of up to £250 each
0:13:54 > 0:13:58and have both been working hard to find game-winning items.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Eric has spent £88, leaving his kitty at £162.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07His opponent, on the other hand, has parted with £89,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10giving him £161 to play with.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14With nothing to choose between our rivals,
0:14:14 > 0:14:21there is still everything to play for and finally, Charle's found a piece of antique furniture.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23I've found a bit of a gem here.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27Walnut, late Victorian, bordering on Edwardian
0:14:27 > 0:14:31from the tramline mouldings coming up and down the door here.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35It used to be part of a full length corner cupboard.
0:14:35 > 0:14:39I should think it was about six foot high originally.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42But what I'm going to do is convert it.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44We can put a bit of marble on this.
0:14:44 > 0:14:49I'm going to open the drawer and hope to find a stamp, but I don't think I will -
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Edwards & Roberts or Shoolbred or something.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56It's not quite of that quality, but it's not bad.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01Original handles, I think. Bracket feet. I think it will clean up well.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07Cut a bit of marble to go on the top of it and it would look really good even in a modern kitchen.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10So I think I've got a bit of a snip here.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Knocker, watch out! This is a big profit.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Bigger than any one you're going to get.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Fighting talk from the Charmer!
0:15:19 > 0:15:24It seems that both our treasure hunters are sticking to familiar ground
0:15:24 > 0:15:27as Eric has picked up another piece of porcelain for just £5.
0:15:27 > 0:15:32I've bought myself a vase that probably dates to some time round about 1920.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35It's not by anybody in particular.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41In fact, nobody's really owned up to making it, but it's made in England
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and it's not bad for the money.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45What I like is the subject.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49I like the idea of this Japanese lady and this young girl
0:15:49 > 0:15:51and I love those lanterns
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and I like that semi-matt black ground.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58You've got transfers for these Japanese figures.
0:15:58 > 0:16:04They're basically cut out and applied on to the surface of the pot
0:16:04 > 0:16:08and they're then put in the kiln and they go hard.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11As for this gold decoration and the beading,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13that's all actually hand-done.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16And so too this scratching down here.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19So it's a mixed method process -
0:16:19 > 0:16:25a little bit of hand decoration and a little bit of transfer and it works.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29It's just a nice design and even if you turn it round at the back...
0:16:29 > 0:16:32These were meant to go up against a wall,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36so most potters would pay very little attention to the back.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39What's the point? Nobody's going to see it. It costs money to do that.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43What I'd have liked more than anything else was a pair of them,
0:16:43 > 0:16:49but for a fiver, well, yeah, I have to say that Knocker's in for a profit.
0:16:49 > 0:16:55Not a big one, but I'm on the right side of an earner.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01And staying with his favourite type of antique, Knocker buys an hors d'oeuvres dish for a princely £12.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03He's on a roll!
0:17:03 > 0:17:07But he needs to stay focused because having scoured the boot sale,
0:17:07 > 0:17:13his opponent has found another piece of furniture and, at £30, he won't leave it for anyone else to buy.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Bit of weight training, actually. That's quite good.
0:17:17 > 0:17:24Whilst Charlie does an impersonation of a furniture remover, Eric's ceramics buying spree continues.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It's just a Chinese ginger jar,
0:17:26 > 0:17:30but I love that colour because that's a sort of famille verte,
0:17:30 > 0:17:37and originally, this colour was used in the late 17th and early 18th century.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40This, I can assure you, is 20th century,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44but I think it looks the part because you've got these two phoenix, look.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45This is all hand-painted.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50It's just a decorative jar. It would have had a cover originally.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56But sometimes you can get little wooden covers and wooden bases and they look a thousand dollars.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58So when it comes to price, well, £2?
0:17:58 > 0:18:02I just paid more than that for a cappuccino up the road.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Now, that is a bargain.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10Knocker's sticking to his strategy of buying anything in which he sees a profit.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13He's going to have a rather full car on the way home.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17It's been a fiercely fought clash at today's car boot sale,
0:18:17 > 0:18:21but Charlie the Charmer Ross isn't done just yet.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26The wind's getting up, the clouds are coming in, it's getting chilly and people are beginning to leave,
0:18:26 > 0:18:30but I've found a couple of gems at the last minute -
0:18:30 > 0:18:32both nine-carat gold,
0:18:32 > 0:18:37the bottom one, a Royal Marines bar brooch from pre-war
0:18:37 > 0:18:41with the laurel leaves surrounding the world.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It's in nine-carat, as I've said, and the bugle above.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49And I think this is a beautiful, beautiful brooch and in good order.
0:18:49 > 0:18:55Above it, we have a naval brooch also inset with enamel, also nine-carat.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00I can tell you very little, but I'll do a bit of research on it.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04I managed to buy the two for £50, a nifty fifty.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Frankly, if there isn't a profit in those, I will eat my hat,
0:19:08 > 0:19:11so, carry on, sir.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13I'll see what I can do.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18Well done, Corporal Ross. That's Charlie's most expensive purchase
0:19:18 > 0:19:21and he's decided that he's got enough booty.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26His rival has uncovered a bit of a gem and sealed a sweet deal.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Now, I haven't bought the table, but I have bought this lovely little sugar basket.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It's only silver plate. When I say "only", it's a little bit special.
0:19:35 > 0:19:42First, it has a blue glass liner. These are called Bristol blue, but they were made all over the place.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47But what makes the basket itself that little bit special is the mark on the base
0:19:47 > 0:19:51because it tells me that this was made by Elkington & Co.
0:19:51 > 0:19:57They are without question the premier maker, not just of silver, but also of silver plate.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01And also Elkington are that little bit special
0:20:01 > 0:20:05in so far as they used to put a year mark on their silver plate.
0:20:05 > 0:20:11You'll find year marks on silver, but it's exceptionally rare to find it on silver plate,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15so I'll check it out at home and find out exactly when it was made.
0:20:15 > 0:20:19I would suspect it was some time in the late Victorian period,
0:20:19 > 0:20:24but I tell you what, for £20, this may turn out to be my bargain of the day.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Time will tell.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Indeed it will, but with the stallholders packing up and heading for home,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Charlie's got harsh words for his rival.
0:20:38 > 0:20:43There's Knocker's stuff just leaving.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Our ultra-competitive pair have taken today's boot sale by storm,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51but with all the buying over, who has spent the most cash?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Both gents started out with a budget of £250.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59Eric spent just over half with a total of £127,
0:20:59 > 0:21:03but Charlie's golden charm has led him to splash the cash
0:21:03 > 0:21:06and he's parted with £191.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11It's been a triumphant day's buying for our treasure hunters
0:21:11 > 0:21:15and before they pack up their purchases and head for home,
0:21:15 > 0:21:18they can't resist a peek at each other's goods.
0:21:18 > 0:21:23So, Mr Ross, this is the result of all your charm and your endeavours, is it?
0:21:23 > 0:21:28This is the result of 40 years in the antique business. What have you found?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32I thought I'd go for variety being the spice of life.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36I see there's a Roadshow game there, presumably featuring you?
0:21:36 > 0:21:40- Do you want to have a look? - May I?- I'll show you very briefly.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44If you look at... If I just turn it upside down,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- can you find me on there?- No.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Are you sure? LAUGHTER
0:21:50 > 0:21:54- Oh, yes!- There I am. - You look like Groucho Marx.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59Hang on, that's Hilary Kay you're talking about. That's me here!
0:21:59 > 0:22:04- What's your favourite item, the buy of the day? - The buy of the day, the brooches.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- The brooches?- Yes. I found a bit of gold out there.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- They're very beautifully done. - I really like those.
0:22:11 > 0:22:17Charlie, if you think we found it difficult to buy here, wait till we try and sell the stuff.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Not a hope!
0:22:19 > 0:22:24So, Eric's heading home with a pair of glass decanters,
0:22:24 > 0:22:28the 1980s Antiques Roadshow board game,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31three Chinese embroidered silk panels,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33an Art Deco cocktail shaker,
0:22:33 > 0:22:36a huntsman's sandwich box and sugar basket,
0:22:36 > 0:22:38a 19th century copper kettle,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41a Victorian, mahogany dressing table mirror
0:22:41 > 0:22:44and a selection of 20th century ceramics.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49Charlie will be trying to sell a pair of carved, wooden wall brackets,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52a mixed lot of brass furniture feet,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54various contemporary ceramics,
0:22:54 > 0:22:56a small, modern globe,
0:22:56 > 0:23:00three antique books, an Edwardian corner cupboard,
0:23:00 > 0:23:02a 20th century Indian coffee table
0:23:02 > 0:23:05and two military gold brooches.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12Eric and Charlie now have to try and sell their car boot purchases
0:23:12 > 0:23:15to make as much profit as possible.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Having worked their socks off at the car boot sale,
0:23:20 > 0:23:24our gents will have to pull out the stops to find the right buyers for their items.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27They're working their way through their little black books,
0:23:27 > 0:23:31putting together deals on the phone and by e-mail,
0:23:31 > 0:23:36but until they've shaken on it and money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39Charmer Ross hits the road with his Goss china.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44He paid £25 for the set and he's hoping to make a big profit.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Peter, when I was at the boot fair the other day,
0:23:48 > 0:23:54I saw a gentleman that had quite a lot of bits of Goss china on his table.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00- But I thought of you.- Thank you. - If anybody's going to buy a bit of Goss, it's Mr Goss.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04I'm hoping that there's something here that will take your fancy.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- You've got some pieces which are the same like that.- Oh, dear.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15The smaller pieces here aren't worth quite so much, but the nice pieces are.
0:24:15 > 0:24:19- That's a nice little piece.- Is it? - That's a little pin tray, a pin box.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Are you able to make me an offer as a punt?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27Or do you want me to ask you a price?
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Well, you say what you think it's worth and I'll...you know.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36I think... One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine... You're shuddering now.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- I think I'd like 50 quid for the lot.- 50 quid?- Yeah.
0:24:40 > 0:24:46- How about 45?- Oh, blimey, that's closer than I thought it would be! I'll take that.- 45, OK.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50- I think that's very fair.- OK. - What about a cup of tea?
0:24:50 > 0:24:54- I tell you what, you have the cup. - Yeah.- And I'll have the cream jug.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57- And we'll go and make some tea. - Fantastic.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01That's £20 profit in the bag.
0:25:01 > 0:25:05Buoyed by his success, Charlie heads off to another sale.
0:25:05 > 0:25:14He bought his globe for just £2 and he's hoping to sell it to a friend who runs an operatic company.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17- KNOCKS ON DOOR - Morning, Jeff!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- Is that it?- That's it.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23I thought it was going to be a big one.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Well, it's the best I could do.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- Is it any good?- It's a start.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32That'll have to be a finish.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36- How much do you want for it then? - 20 quid.- No!- I do.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40I've only got 50 quid for the whole show. You must be joking!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42A fiver?
0:25:42 > 0:25:45What do you mean? I'll settle at ten.
0:25:45 > 0:25:50- I think that's very reasonable.- Do you?- Yeah.- Can I pay you in stamps?
0:25:50 > 0:25:53No, you can't pay me in stamps!
0:25:53 > 0:25:55£10. Bank of Scotland.
0:25:55 > 0:26:01- Thank you very much indeed. - There's some paint come off it here. - Stop whinging!
0:26:02 > 0:26:08Another £8 profit and our silver-tongued charmer is sounding confident of victory.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10But don't underestimate Knocker.
0:26:10 > 0:26:16He's been doing some forward planning and has sent his mirror ahead to tempt a buyer.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20The mirror was Eric's most expensive boot sale purchase,
0:26:20 > 0:26:23costing £23.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26This lady, if I can her, has seen better days, bless her.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31Her complexion's looking a bit tired. Can that be resurrected?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34It's tired, but it can come up.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Is one interested in making a purchase?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Well, what sort of price are we looking at?
0:26:40 > 0:26:47Well, I thought £80 for something like that would be quite a reasonable... No?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- A bit high, I'm afraid.- A bit high? - I'd see it more at 40, I'm afraid.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- What about 50?- 50?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57- Yeah.- Yeah?- OK.- You're a star. - You've got a deal.- Thanks, Nick.
0:26:57 > 0:27:03Smoothly done, Knocker. Eric manages to double his money and more, banking £27 profit.
0:27:03 > 0:27:08With the dealer in the palm of his hand, he doubles his money on the copper kettle,
0:27:08 > 0:27:11adding another £15 to his profit pot.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- £30 and...- Yes?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20- Do you have the modern-day equivalent?- We certainly do.
0:27:20 > 0:27:26- Could you put it on? I'm gasping for a tea.- Yeah, not a problem. - 30 quid and a cup of tea.- OK.
0:27:26 > 0:27:32He also manages to make another £20 profit from the sale of the black oriental vase.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36- Shall we say 25?- 25? I'll give you 25.- 25.- Deal.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Eric is in the zone and has struck back with three sales,
0:27:39 > 0:27:44but Mr Ross is also hard at work, doing a spot of furniture delivery.
0:27:44 > 0:27:49- Where is it going to go? - Mind the paintwork. Just in the front room, in the middle.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53There's an absolutely bare space where this needs to be.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56- Coffee table shaped.- Look at that.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- What do you think?- It looks good. - Do you like it?- Yes, it's not bad.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05She sounds keen, but will she be prepared to pay more than the £30 Charlie paid for the table?
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- It looks quite good in here.- Yeah, I need it to put my cup of tea on. - You do.- Yeah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14- So have we got a deal? Does it fit? - We have to decide the price.
0:28:14 > 0:28:19Of course. It's not an antique, but then it's not an antique price
0:28:19 > 0:28:23because the Georgians and Victorians didn't make coffee tables.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27All their occasional tables were this height. So it needs to be new. I think it's fun.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29£100?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32What are you laughing at?
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Don't you think £100?
0:28:34 > 0:28:40- I'll start at...- What do you mean, "start"? I want to know where you'll finish. It's £100.
0:28:40 > 0:28:46- I'll start at 30.- Don't be so ridiculous.- It's only for coffee and tea.- You can't have it for £30.
0:28:46 > 0:28:52I brought it all the way here from Ringwood near Southampton. You can do better than 30. £75?
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Oh, a deal! - See, I wasn't that tough.
0:28:56 > 0:28:5975 is a lot nearer 100...
0:28:59 > 0:29:03- Than 30.- Than 30.- But you're the professional, so you should be.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08They don't call him the Charmer for nothing.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12A sizeable £45 profit on a £30 purchase is a great return.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18Whilst he's out and about, Charlie also manages to sell his trio of books for an £8 profit
0:29:18 > 0:29:22and bank a tidy £22 profit on his pair of carved wooden wall brackets.
0:29:22 > 0:29:28With both our antiques agents on a real selling spree, this competition is really hotting up
0:29:28 > 0:29:32and Knocker Knowles has headed to the bright lights of London
0:29:32 > 0:29:37to find a buyer with some city chic for his stylish cocktail shaker.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- Nice to see you.- You too, Arnold. Let me show you what I've got.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- Are you a Singapore Slinger or a Manhattan man?- Manhattan.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48A man after my own heart.
0:29:48 > 0:29:53You'll need one of those if you're going to put your Manhattan together.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57OK, 1930s, cracked ice glass.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Pretty good condition, I would say.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Yeah.- No maker's mark, unfortunately,
0:30:03 > 0:30:06- but I could be interested. - What is the price?
0:30:06 > 0:30:12The price? Listen, it's "be kind to Arnold" day today. £75 to you.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Make it 50 and you've got a deal.
0:30:14 > 0:30:19- OK, Arnold, for £50, give me your hand.- Thank you very much.- It's a pleasure.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21The name's Knowles, Knocker Knowles,
0:30:21 > 0:30:25and that's a £38 profit, shaken not stirred.
0:30:26 > 0:30:34Our Lancashire lad sells another hot lot when his sugar-plated sugar basket yields a £20 profit.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Sweet.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Both our profit hunters have been on top selling form,
0:30:39 > 0:30:42they've nade money on everything they've sold
0:30:42 > 0:30:46and they're both determined to emerge victorious today.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49Eric has been a profit-making whirlwind,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52selling £195-worth of goods
0:30:52 > 0:30:54and banking £120 profit.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Charlie is not far behind, though,
0:30:57 > 0:31:00with £180-worth of goods sold
0:31:00 > 0:31:03and £103 profit in his pot.
0:31:03 > 0:31:10It's a closely run race, with both of them pulling out the stops to sell their pieces.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14They've been going through their contacts.
0:31:14 > 0:31:15Charmer Ross lines up a potential purchaser.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19He's struggled to find a buyer for his antique furniture feet.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23He hopes his local auctioneer might be able to get him out of trouble.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29First he's trying to soften him with a military brooch.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31I bought two brooches, one is an Army one.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34I'm selling it to somebody related to the Army.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39And this naval one, I thought you could be the man.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Indeed. Lots of collectors here.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Should do very well.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Good. Can you get rid of these for me?
0:31:45 > 0:31:48How many sets do we have there?
0:31:48 > 0:31:54- They're a bit random. I've got two fantastic paw feet. - Those are indeed fantastic.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59I could be seriously interested myself. I think I might have just the use for these two.
0:31:59 > 0:32:06- Perhaps I could sell them to you. - Tell me what you want and we'll work down from there.- 50 quid for the lot?
0:32:07 > 0:32:10- I've only got a use for two at the moment.- Have you?
0:32:10 > 0:32:13- How about £20?- 30 any good?
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- 30 sounds grand. We'll have a deal.- Brilliant.
0:32:16 > 0:32:22- Thank you, Joe. I'll leave the brooch with you. Go and get me 30 quid.- I shall do that.- Thank you.
0:32:22 > 0:32:28That's a great result - £10 profit for the feet and the brooch is going into the next sale.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Knocker is also trying to make more profits.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36He's set up a meeting to try and sell his huntsman's sandwich box.
0:32:36 > 0:32:42The dealer is interested, but until the money has been handed over, the deal is far from sealed.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44What do you make of this thing?
0:32:44 > 0:32:46I was told, rightly or wrongly,
0:32:46 > 0:32:50that it's been described as a huntsman's sandwich box.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54I could quite believe that. I think I've seen similar ones to this,
0:32:54 > 0:33:00Shropshire being very much a hunting county, not presently, obviously.
0:33:00 > 0:33:06It's small enough for them to take it on their horse and small sandwiches could come out.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- It wouldn't be a very big sandwich. - No, it wouldn't.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14- I think that dates to about 1875, 1885, something like that.- Yes, yes.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- Would you go with that? - I agree with that, yes.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21If it's any interest, I just wanted 20 quid for it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24I think £15 is a fairer price, Eric.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29Well, it is a fairer price from your point of view, not necessarily mine,
0:33:29 > 0:33:35but having said that, I'm still in with a profit, so £15, yes. Go on, say, "Yes, Eric."
0:33:35 > 0:33:38- Yes, Eric. Thank you very much. - A pleasure.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Eric nearly doubles his money, banking £7 profit,
0:33:42 > 0:33:48and when he passes another antique shop, he chances his luck with two of his Chinese silk panels.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- Hello there. Are you the owner? - I am, yes.- Eric. - Eric, nice to meet you. Simon.
0:33:53 > 0:33:58Forgive me, I've not phoned ahead. I'm just calling in on spec, really.
0:33:58 > 0:34:04- Looking around, I wonder if I've made a mistake? You're mainly china, aren't you?- Mainly china.
0:34:04 > 0:34:10- I've got a couple of silk panels. Any point in me showing you? - Yeah, I'd be interested. Definitely.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14They're Chinese and they're probably mid-20th century,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17but they're just so beautifully worked.
0:34:17 > 0:34:22- There you go, a couple of mandarin ducks and peonies... - They're nice quality, aren't they?
0:34:22 > 0:34:25What sort of price were you looking for?
0:34:25 > 0:34:30- I thought somewhere around about £25. - 25 for the pair?- Yeah.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33It doesn't leave me a great deal in it. 20 quid any good?
0:34:33 > 0:34:39- 20 quid, is that an offer I can't refuse?- That's a good offer. - It's an offer I can't refuse.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- It's a deal.- It's a deal.- I'll go and get some money for you.- OK.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47It just goes to show it was well worth popping in here.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Eric had already sold one of his trio of silks for £10,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55so after selling this pair, he banks £20 profit overall.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Our northern warrior is pretty pleased with himself.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03Nothing ventured, nothing gained, and I actually got a result,
0:35:03 > 0:35:07so I may try a bit more of this selling on spec.
0:35:07 > 0:35:12Yes, the profit gods are really smiling on Mr Knowles today
0:35:12 > 0:35:17and he banks another £18 profit from his Poole Pottery hors d'oeuvres dish
0:35:17 > 0:35:20and £25 profit from his pair of glass decanters.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26His opponent is now trailing nearly £100 behind. Time for Charlie to bring out the big guns.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33# Missiles flying over your head
0:35:33 > 0:35:37# If you want to survive, get out of bed
0:35:37 > 0:35:40# You're in the Army now
0:35:40 > 0:35:45# Oh, oh, you're in the Army now... #
0:35:47 > 0:35:51Now, the moment, victor's moment, I'm going to call this.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56- OK.- So I want an instant reaction to the brooch.
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Oh, fantastic.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Do you like it?- It's beautiful. - Oh, great.
0:36:01 > 0:36:08The Charmer paid £50 for the pair of military brooches and with one going through his local auction,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10he is hoping to maximise profit from this one.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- It's so beautifully made and it's Royal Marines.- Yeah.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- Which fits in with your husband. - It certainly does.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- How long has he been in the Marines?- 12 years now.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26- Fantastic.- I love the colour. It's beautiful.- It's beautiful and it's in super condition.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29We've got to talk about price.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33And I think I'd quite like to get £75 for it.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39- Right. It is relatively old, but that is a little more than I was anticipating.- Was it?
0:36:39 > 0:36:44- You can try me. - How about more in the region of 40 or is that way too cheeky?
0:36:44 > 0:36:46No, that's not cheeky at all.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Could you squeeze to 50 and we would have a deal?
0:36:50 > 0:36:55- As five is my lucky number, I think I can do that.- Is it?- Yes, it is.
0:36:55 > 0:37:01- What about nought? Is that your lucky number?- I don't know about that.- Would 50 be all right?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Yeah.- That's fantastic. We've got a deal.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09- I'll leave that with you and head off home. Thank you very much. - Thank you.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13A satisfied customer and a satisfied Charmer.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17And when the other brooch brings in another £45 in the saleroom...
0:37:18 > 0:37:22..the pair give him a £45 profit.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28Proving it's not just what you know, but who you know, Charlie has also persuaded a local shop
0:37:28 > 0:37:34to sell his Carlton Ware dishes and Kutani vases on his behalf, netting him a combined profit of £16.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38Both are desperate to win today's car boot battle
0:37:38 > 0:37:41working flat out to sell their items.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44Eric's hit the road with a selling plan.
0:37:44 > 0:37:47The plate, the ginger jar and the board game
0:37:47 > 0:37:49cost Eric £7 in total.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Despite the bargain basement price,
0:37:51 > 0:37:54will he be able to sweet talk his way to a big profit?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- There's my plate.- That's nice.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- Good. I'm glad you like it. - Middlesbrough, do you reckon?
0:38:02 > 0:38:06Probably. 1830 or 1840, something like that.
0:38:06 > 0:38:10- Is £10 OK? Is that...? - Yeah, that sounds good to me.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I've got this fella,
0:38:14 > 0:38:17which is the Chinese famille verte.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- 19th century, not 18th century. - Yeah, absolutely.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24But still nicely done, hand-painted.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- It looks the part, doesn't it? - Yeah, it does.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- It matches your shirt, actually. - Almost, doesn't it?
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- 25?- 25? Well, I could be persuaded to 25 possibly.- Really?- Yeah.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40If you take that for 25, there's a bonus.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- I've got my eyes closed. Do I need my eyes closed?- OK, open them.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49- Because it is the Antiques Roadshow...- In a box!
0:38:49 > 0:38:53What's important about this... It's very personal from me to you.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56If you look here, you will see...
0:38:56 > 0:38:59- Man and boy.- The boy. This is 20 years ago.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03So if you paid me £35 for those two pots,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07this comes virtually free, OK? Well, it is free.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12I tell you, I'd give you 35 quid for that and you can throw the pots in!
0:39:13 > 0:39:21So the board game sealed the deal and with £28 profit, Knocker is now all sold up.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24But Charlie has still got his corner cupbaord left to sell.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Now to unveil the C Ross restoration masterpiece!
0:39:30 > 0:39:35One corner cupboard, one sumptuous piece of marble.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38The cabinet cost Charlie just £22,
0:39:38 > 0:39:44but with a piece of marble he got for free from a friendly contact, he's hoping for a decent profit.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48He's decided the best place to sell it is his local auction house.
0:39:48 > 0:39:52- Look what I have got for you! - Good morning, Charlie.- How are you?
0:39:52 > 0:39:58- What have you brought for us today? - A little corner cupboard.- Jolly nice little Edwardian cupboard.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01- What do you think? - It's exactly what we need.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05It's sort of late Victorian, Edwardian?
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Yeah, I would say 1900, '05-ish.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13- We can squeeze it in the sale for you this weekend.- Can you?- We can indeed. - That would be brilliant.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15£40 to £60?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18That would do extremely well, I think.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21It cost 22,
0:40:21 > 0:40:27- so any profit would be most acceptable because I managed to get the marble for nothing.- Ideal.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32Are you going to do me a deal on the commission? The profit is for charity.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- For charity, we will always talk business.- You're my man. - Let's do some paperwork.- OK.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41If the cabinet sells for the £40 to £60 estimate or more,
0:40:41 > 0:40:48Charlie will snatch victory from Knocker's hands at the final furlong, but if it fails to sell,
0:40:48 > 0:40:52it will be victory for Eric. We'll find out shortly how it fares.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Right now, it's time to tot up how much our profit hunters have made
0:40:56 > 0:41:00and reveal which one of them has claimed victory today.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03Eric spent just £127 at the boot sale,
0:41:03 > 0:41:07whereas the Charmer splashed out £191.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Remember, all their profits today will be going to charity.
0:41:11 > 0:41:17It's time to find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:17 > 0:41:21- Charlie the Charmer...- Knocker, how are you?- I'm very well.
0:41:21 > 0:41:26- How did you find the car boot? Level with me. - It was my first ever car boot sale.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Frankly, I thought it was a bit of a struggle.
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- What was your best buy? - Oh, what was my best buy?
0:41:33 > 0:41:38I've got to cast my mind back because I spread my money over quite a few objects.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42The decanters came in at a tidy profit.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- Did they?- But they were lovely.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49- But what about your Goss?- Oh, a real result with the Goss.- Oh, good.
0:41:49 > 0:41:55- Guess who I sold the Goss to? Mr Goss.- No?- Yeah. - You know everybody, Charlie.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00- He collects Goss china.- My goodness me! Let's check out those profits. Let's see how we've got on.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05- Are you ready?- Yeah. - One, two, three and up they come.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- Ouch!- Ho-ho-ho!
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Ouch, ouch, ouch!- Percy Profit!
0:42:10 > 0:42:15- To say you've never been to a car boot before, were you spinning me a yarn?- No, I wasn't.
0:42:15 > 0:42:19- But I had two ridiculous bits of luck.- Did you? Oh, my goodness me!
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Well, on that basis, Charlie, I'm going to leave you
0:42:23 > 0:42:25and tomorrow is another day.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Tomorrow is another day...
0:42:28 > 0:42:33So it's victory for Charlie and it was the marble-topped corner cupboard
0:42:33 > 0:42:36that helped him to a last-minute triumph.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41It flew past the saleroom's £40 to £60 estimate, making a whopping £124
0:42:41 > 0:42:44and giving Charmer Ross a £102 profit.
0:42:44 > 0:42:50Charlie might have been crowned today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion,
0:42:50 > 0:42:55but both experts worked hard to sell their items and all their profits will go to charity.
0:42:55 > 0:43:02My chosen charity is the Prince's Trust. Now, I've been an ambassador for over 15 years.
0:43:02 > 0:43:08My chosen charity is CLIC Sargent, a national charity looking after children with leukaemia.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Today's tussle is over, but the battle doesn't stop here
0:43:11 > 0:43:15as tomorrow, our experts will go head to head again
0:43:15 > 0:43:18as they cross the Channel to tackle a Parisian market.
0:43:18 > 0:43:21Ha-ha-ha... Ha-ha-ha.
0:43:21 > 0:43:2330 euro, 20 euro.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26I may not have the French, but I've got the maths.
0:43:26 > 0:43:29Quality, profit.
