This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
the toughest challenge our experts have faced yet. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Roll up, roll up. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:08 | |
In just 48 frantic hours, our duelling dealers will have to source, buy | 0:00:08 | 0:00:14 | |
and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques, testing their knowledge, stamina and nerve! | 0:00:14 | 0:00:21 | |
-May the best man win. -Yes, I probably will. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
Coming up - a good dealer is always considering his options... | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
I could sell them to my wife, but I'm not allowed to. She'd love those. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
..sometimes even the best salesman meets his match... | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
Come on, I like a good deal. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:37 | |
Like a deal where I've been hit hard in the stomach and winded! | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
..and how antiques dealing can benefit the special relationship. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
-Here's to Georgia. Here's to Georgia. -You'll have to come see us now! | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
It's the final battle between... | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
They have been battling it out over a week of challenges... | 0:01:12 | 0:01:16 | |
-I want to go over there. -I want to go over there, too. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
..to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:25 | |
That's typical getting carried away in an auction. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
It made 380 hammer. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
Fantastic! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
Both Charlie and Paul know we're coming but they have no idea where the next 48 hours will take them. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:42 | |
It's time for us to find out the details of our two heroes' most dastardly dealing challenge yet. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:50 | |
It's all happening here today. It's breakfast time, it's party time in the Hayes' household - | 0:01:52 | 0:01:58 | |
we're getting ready for a big party, somebody's birthday this week. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
More importantly, I have been waiting for this envelope to arrive. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:04 | |
"Paul Hayes, this is your showdown. The challenge is simple. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
"You have today to buy antiques and collectibles from wherever you like." | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Excuse me while I get a bit of breakfast. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
"Tomorrow, you must sell your items off a stall | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
"at the Newark International Antique and Collectors Fair | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
"in direct competition with your opponent, Paul Hayes. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
"The winner will be the dealer who makes the most profit." | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
"You will find suggestions for places where you can buy your items | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
"together with details of tomorrow's market in your information pack." | 0:02:33 | 0:02:37 | |
"Good luck." I think I'll go to an auction. I like auctions, I'm an auctioneer, that's the place to be. | 0:02:37 | 0:02:45 | |
Charlie and Paul each have up to £1,000 of their own money to spend. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
Today, they must buy an entire stall's worth of antiques. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
Tomorrow, they'll be selling the whole lot in direct competition | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
at one of the country's most established antiques fairs in Newark in Nottinghamshire. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
This internationally-renowned fair has literally hundreds of specialist stalls, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
loaded with some of the best antiques and collectibles available anywhere in Europe. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
The boys will be selling to both members of the public and to other professional dealers. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:21 | |
For The Charmer and The Man From Morecambe, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
the secret to winning this epic 48-hour challenge lies in knowing their market. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:30 | |
Not a problem, it seems, for our blue-eyed boy. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
There you are. No time for breakfast. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:37 | |
I'm delighted I'm going to Newark. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
I've spent a lot of time there, I've done the antiques stall lots of times. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:44 | |
Charlie Ross, I know you're going to be all flamboyant, all show, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
lots of interesting props and a very pretty stall. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
But a little secret - that doesn't work at Newark. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
Paul sounds seriously confident and he's got one thing spot-on. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
Charlie and he have very different ideas of what you need to pack for a day of dealing at Newark. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:05 | |
Plants, which I've been allowed to take out of the conservatory, make the stall look good. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:11 | |
A big cloth or a table cloth or a form of carpet... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
Candelabra stolen from the dining room with new candles to make it look good. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
I need a bum-bag, these are really important things. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
Most importantly, I have some confit du canard. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
In case I get a French buyer. And I need to bribe him. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:30 | |
What I need is the bare bones. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
For years, I just put things on the floor, not so much scruffy, but good quality items all placed. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:39 | |
It looks approachable, people can go down and pick items up | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
and see what they've got and can interact with them. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:44 | |
Once they've got it in their hand, we sell them the idea. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
Unbelievable! It's like our boys are going to two completely different places. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
Only time will tell whether Paul's steady old-school approach | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
or Charlie's desire to look good will win the day. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-Can you help me load up? -Yes. OK. -Come on, then. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:04 | |
Charlie and Paul must stop shopping by 5pm. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
They will then be driven to a hotel in Nottinghamshire where they will get a few hours' shut-eye | 0:05:07 | 0:05:12 | |
before stalling out at the Newark International Antiques Fair early tomorrow morning. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:17 | |
I've got my props, my bum-bag, my tickets, a kiss? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:24 | |
Wish me luck. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:26 | |
All right, see you later. Got to beat that Charlie Ross. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Our first point of call, just head towards the promenade, please. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:35 | |
A strong buying strategy will be crucial. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
Paul is planning to stay local for his first buys. His initial port of call is just up the road. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:45 | |
I want to buy as many items as I can to make a really impressive stall. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:49 | |
We'll start at the nearest place to me, which is an antiques place on the promenade. On the right. | 0:05:49 | 0:05:55 | |
But The Charmer is thundering towards Leamington Spa, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
where his first auction is due to start any minute. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Strategy number one, hit the saleroom and buy as many lots as possible, as cheaply as possible. | 0:06:04 | 0:06:11 | |
And then we will worry about the quality later. | 0:06:11 | 0:06:13 | |
But as Paul is pulling up at his first buying location... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
Let's have a look at this place. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
..Charlie's razor-sharp brain is already planning what to do if his auction strategy fails. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:25 | |
Shops. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:26 | |
Ah-ha. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:29 | |
My old mate Nigel Townsend. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:32 | |
Sorry, I'm breaking up, where are you today? Hello? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:39 | |
Oh, bother. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:41 | |
Oh, he's cut off. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
I hate this blooming mobile phone. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Anyway, Nigel Townsend sells things in an antiques centre which is closing in a month. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:51 | |
So he says, "I've got some fantastic deals for you." | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
I wish I'd phoned him first because he is in Winslow. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
Which is in exactly the opposite direction to the one we're travelling. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
I could get him to put some things in his car and meet us halfway. We will cross that bridge when we come to it. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:08 | |
The Charmer is trying to cover as many buying bases as he can, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
but The Man from Morecambe has already started shopping | 0:07:12 | 0:07:16 | |
and he is focusing on pieces that he is hoping will go down well with Newark's international clientele. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:23 | |
Here we are, nice coffee pot - exactly the sort of thing the Italians go for at the market. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:29 | |
Nice gravy boat. Starting to accumulate already. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:34 | |
For 20 quid, I've got a nice little selection. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
Little tip. You can see how yellow that's gone. Look at the colour of this and the colour of that - | 0:07:37 | 0:07:42 | |
that is the nickel coming through, you can see that yellow tinge, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
so that needs to be replated, but it's quite a good style, isn't it? | 0:07:46 | 0:07:51 | |
That's 24, is there a profit on 24? No, I don't think so. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
Paul has already found plenty to tickle his interest. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
We have got two gravy boats and a nice coffee pot or water jug. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
Nice, clean silver or silver plate, it doesn't have to be re-silvered in any way, it's ready to go. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
And to be honest, the international market, they don't really understand the hallmarks, | 0:08:06 | 0:08:12 | |
so it looks fantastic, it's very visual and it's honest - it is what it is. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
I like things like this - a nice coffee grinder. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
He's like a little lad in a sweet shop, snaffling up silver, | 0:08:18 | 0:08:24 | |
gobbling up ceramics and gorging himself on glass. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
He sees potential profit in every nook and cranny. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
There's a toast rack there as well. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:34 | |
But he's not the only one in his element... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
What good time! We're here before it starts. Saleroom number one. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:44 | |
..because for the clientele of this Leamington Spa auction house, | 0:08:44 | 0:08:48 | |
the competition has just got a little stiffer. The Charmer is in the house. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
You have got to be on your toes here. I walked through the door and no sooner had I come through the door | 0:08:53 | 0:08:59 | |
than I bought this rather splendid chimney. Isn't that magnificent? Good garden fodder. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:06 | |
I've also bought a little Arts and Crafts wall bracket, very cheap, £10. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:12 | |
I then bought four colour prints. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
Which I have to say I really, really like. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
I could sell them to my wife but I'm not allowed to. She'd love those. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:23 | |
But I think at £40 for the four, I think I'll get £20 each for them. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
Those auction lots cost The Charmer just under £85 with bits - | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
that's the term dealers use for auction taxes and fees. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
And it's Charlie who records the first buys of this extraordinary 48-hour dealing challenge, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:44 | |
and he's not finished with this auction house yet. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:47 | |
A Victorian walnut-framed mirror. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:50 | |
45, 55? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
60? | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
At 55, is there 60? 60. Five? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
At 65. One more will do it. At £65, are we all done? | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
£70 on that. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Yours. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
Over-mantle mirror. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
£70. I think it's worth a bit more. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:12 | |
That's lucky, Charlie, because with bits, this mirror set you back just over £82. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:19 | |
But Charlie's auction house haul pales into insignificance | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
next to The Man from Morecambe's antiques centre stash. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
If this was a supermarket sweep, Paul would already be at home | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
with his feet up and polishing the winner's trophy. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
Now, Joanne... That goes on forever, doesn't it? | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
You've picked a few bargains, there. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-I've tried to pick things that are pretty perfect, in nice condition. -A lot of silver plate. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
A lot of silver plate - I'm going to a big antiques fair. A few ceramics as well. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:54 | |
We've got one, two, three, four, five, six pieces of Indian tree. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
I noticed on a couple of them... That one's been priced at £20, then reduced to a fiver. What's happened? | 0:10:59 | 0:11:06 | |
He's had it in for a while and he just wants to clear it, | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
he keeps his turnover quite fresh so he just wants to clear. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:14 | |
Right, so you've got six pieces, which would have cost me pretty well over £100. What can you do? | 0:11:14 | 0:11:20 | |
For the six? He'd let it go for £40. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:24 | |
That's a real bargain, there's a chance of a profit on it. OK, that's great. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
Paul has chosen 17 separate items from the antiques centre. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
As well as six Arthur Wood pottery pieces, he has picked up a selection of silver-plated items, | 0:11:35 | 0:11:41 | |
an oriental blue and white tea set, a cruet set and, finally, this colourful jug. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:47 | |
This is a Royal Doulton character jug. | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |
A character jug is just purely the head and shoulders, not a Toby jug, which is the full seated figure. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:56 | |
It's of a character called Sarah Gamp. And this is very popular, it dates from 1940, 1950. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:02 | |
And it was £28 on the price tag, so that's a bargain. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
I'm sure it catalogues at more and will be a winner when it comes to selling. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:12 | |
It reminds me of Charlie Ross, don't you think? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
Excuse me, can we have our blue-eyed boy back, please? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
Suddenly the nicest man in antiques has come over all catty. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:23 | |
Well, sort of. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:25 | |
Down south, Charlie is more interested in his latest purchase than he is in making fun of Paul. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:31 | |
He will get to that later. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:33 | |
So, Victorian walnut over-mantle. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
Decent condition mirror. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:42 | |
Basically walnut. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
Inlaid with amboyna here and strung with satinwood and with ebony. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:51 | |
Nicely carved. Carved top, carved mounts, | 0:12:51 | 0:12:54 | |
costs £70. See what we can do. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
Charlie seems reasonably pleased with his opening deals, | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
but The Man from Morecambe will have to be tied down if he gets any more excited about today's challenge. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
And he doesn't care who knows it. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
Ah, Hayes, my little angel, how are you? | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
I'm fine, thank you very much, delighted when I opened my envelope. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
Wonderful, off to Newark, have you been to Newark? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
I've never been to Newark in my life, so you'll know all the people there. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
-Have you spent any money? -Yes, I've bought a few bits. -Have you? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
What about yourself, have you bought something good? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:33 | |
No, I didn't see anything good. I went to an auction room where the most expensive thing was about £4.60. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
But I did buy eight lots. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
-I haven't stopped buying yet and I've bought 17 things. -17 things? | 0:13:40 | 0:13:45 | |
-And I've spent £17.50. -Oh, dear. I am trying to do auction rooms, but it's not easy. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:51 | |
I'm sure you will work it out. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
-All the best. -Thank you, caller. Bye. -You're welcome. Bye. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
He is obviously going round the trade, buying things. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
I wonder if I've got the right tactic here, going to salerooms? | 0:14:04 | 0:14:08 | |
Only time will tell. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:11 | |
Driver, put your foot on it! | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
And as Charlie prepares to step his buying day up a gear, | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
it's time to find out what both our fine dealers have spent so far. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
Our dealing duo both started the day with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:30 | |
Paul has spent a confident £377 on a stall-busting 17 items, | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
but he still has £623 to play with. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
The Charmer isn't far behind and has invested just under £320 | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
on eight showdown items, leaving just over £680 still to spend. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:51 | |
It's nip and tuck as we head into the business end of buying for our hardcore weekender of dealing. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:58 | |
And Charlie The Charmer Ross is looking to squeeze one last auction into his day. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:03 | |
-Have you finished, sir? -No, 30 lots to go. Don't worry. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:08 | |
About 30 lots left. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, that concludes our sale. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
Charlie has spent £122.51 including fees and picked up six more pieces. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:33 | |
One Clarice Cliff jug. It's not the best pattern | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
but it's Clarice Cliff and it's not a repro, which is good news. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |
I bought these two little cottages because they are reasonably collectible, Anne Hathaway's cottage. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:47 | |
I would have loved them to be Goss china, but they aren't. | 0:15:47 | 0:15:51 | |
Willow china and the whole lot for £8. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
But a very nice little piece of art glass. And I think that's probably 19th century. | 0:15:55 | 0:16:02 | |
And if it isn't, it's early 20th century. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:06 | |
And that was a bonus because I didn't even see that lot. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
For £8, to include a nice little art deco scent bottle. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
So I'm quite happy with that. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
Charlie's plan to bulk up his stall with cheap and cheerful auction lots has certainly worked. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:23 | |
But now The Charmer has had his fill of auctions. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |
No more auctions today, just shops. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
And I'll try and up the quality a bit because I need to. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:33 | |
Paul is fresh from his buying blitz in Morecambe and has now arrived in Lancaster. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
It's now quarter to three. I've come to Lancaster, | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
to quite a famous antique centre, to buy some nice quality items. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
You may be wondering why there's a bull on the roof, have you heard the story about a bull in a china shop? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:57 | |
It actually happened here. | 0:16:57 | 0:16:59 | |
Next door there was a livestock market, one of the bulls got out, | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
went into here, caused a right old mess. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
MOOING | 0:17:05 | 0:17:07 | |
Moo! Straight away, our boy gets back to what he does best. And his interest is piqued by this piece. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:14 | |
What we've got here is called a tantalus. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |
The idea was it would go on your sideboard or your dining table. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
And it would tantalise you. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:25 | |
In other words, you can see it, but you couldn't get in there unless you had the key. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:32 | |
This little hole here would have had a lock | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
and only you or the butler would have had the key. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
So when it was in place, the decanters are impossible to remove. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
So what we've got are three matching bottles, which is good. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
They're moulded glass, not cut crystal, and there is some damage - | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
I can feel a couple of nicks around the rim of this one. Maybe the stopper has been damaged as well. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:56 | |
So this is a restorer's lot. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
It needs a new lock, a good polish and some restoration on the bottle. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
A good quality tantalus is worth well over £100, if not a bit more. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:08 | |
The best ones have what we call a piano type | 0:18:08 | 0:18:11 | |
and they have a place for your cribbage board or cigars. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
Let's have a look. This is out for sale at £25. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:20 | |
I think that's a bit of a bargain, bearing in mind, perfect, you'd be looking at over £100. | 0:18:20 | 0:18:25 | |
I'll have a go with that, I'll tantalise somebody at Newark. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
Oh, and the lad was doing so well! | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
It sounds like Paul is feeling confident about his tantalus. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
In Northamptonshire, Charlie is calling in a favour to try and squeeze one last buying location. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:45 | |
Here in record time. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
He's convinced a contact, Nigel, who's having a closing-down sale in his antique shop in Oxfordshire, | 0:18:49 | 0:18:55 | |
to drive to Northamptonshire and leave a selection of pieces for view at the shop of a mutual friend. | 0:18:55 | 0:19:02 | |
-I'm fine, how are you? -Very well! | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
But he's not the only one racing against the clock. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
Customer announcement. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
Paul Hayes to the checkout, please. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
-Right, OK, Hayley? -OK, it comes to £162, please. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:23 | |
OK. I think I have stopped buying and I've still got 25 minutes left. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
I can relax a little bit, now. And I may have a cup of tea. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:32 | |
Well done, Paul. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
The Man from Morecambe wraps up his buying with 20 minutes to spare. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
In Northamptonshire, Charlie is about to find out if his contact, Nigel, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
has left him anything worth buying. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Talk me through them. How much is that? | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
-That's French, I think. -It's really sweet. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
It's quite delicate. That's £75. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
I don't think that's too bad. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
-I like that. -That's a kettle stand. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
That's 75 again. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
And some small things. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
That's rare, isn't it? How much is it? | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
That's £140. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:08 | |
-But they're usually pigs. -They ARE usually pigs. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:12 | |
-I'm not sure I've seen an elephant one. -And that's dated 1906. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
Isn't that fabulous? | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
Bit of a scary price. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:19 | |
The blue vase is a lovely colour. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-I suppose this is a lamp base, has it got a holder? It's a lamp base. -£20. -I can't resist that. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:28 | |
Shall I try and ring him very quickly? See if he'd do something. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:33 | |
If I said I quite like the lamp base, kettle stand, the oak table and the elephant, | 0:20:33 | 0:20:41 | |
what could you do those four for? | 0:20:41 | 0:20:43 | |
That comes to, er...£315. | 0:20:44 | 0:20:50 | |
Your maths is unbelievable. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:52 | |
Can you do them for 275 cash? | 0:20:52 | 0:20:55 | |
I know you did. But you know what a hard what's-it I am. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:03 | |
£290? | 0:21:03 | 0:21:04 | |
You are an absolute master. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:09 | |
I will leave £290 with Jackie and I'll give Jackie a kiss on your behalf. | 0:21:09 | 0:21:14 | |
Right. That is all my buying done for the day. Take me to Newark. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:22 | |
And that is a fantastic bit of last-minute dealing from The Charmer | 0:21:22 | 0:21:25 | |
and the hammer comes down on the buying part of our 48-hour dealing marathon. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:30 | |
Unfortunately, when he was at the antique shop, Charlie didn't quite hear the final whistle, | 0:21:30 | 0:21:35 | |
and these three items purchased at 5:20pm won't be included in the challenge. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:41 | |
Sorry, Charlie. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:42 | |
Both Paul and Charlie started out today with up to | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
£1,000 of their own money. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
The man from Morecambe spent £539 on 21 purchases for his Newark stall, | 0:21:50 | 0:21:57 | |
while Charlie upped the ante by spending just over £733 | 0:21:57 | 0:22:01 | |
buying the 16 items and two job lots | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
that he hopes will see him crowned the showdown king. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
And as the sun sets over Morecambe and Oxfordshire, | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
both our duelling dealers are heading for a hotel in Newark, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:14 | |
where they will be resting their weary heads for the night. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
Their vans are chock-a-block with the items they think will turn a profit at Newark tomorrow. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:27 | |
But only time will tell who's chosen the winning strategy. | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
As Paul predicted, the Charmer is first to arrive at the hotel. But in the past, | 0:22:33 | 0:22:37 | |
the man from Morecambe used to sleep in his van when he was stalling out at Newark. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
So even though he's turned up a bit later, he's still a chirpy chappy. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
Oh, standards are slipping! | 0:22:46 | 0:22:48 | |
-Hey! -They're letting anybody in nowadays! | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
-How are you? -Hello, how are you? -Good to see you. -You too. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
-You've even brought a clean shirt for tomorrow! -Do we get a room each? -No, we're sharing a room. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:59 | |
Come off to the bar with me... | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
With their buying done, our two heroes call a temporary truce | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
and head for some well-earned refreshment. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
But relations won't be quite so cordial tomorrow, | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
when they need to sell everything they bought today at the antiques fair in Newark. | 0:23:09 | 0:23:15 | |
May the best man win. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
You must be joking! | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
Because I think that can't be true, because I suspect that you'll win! | 0:23:20 | 0:23:24 | |
Coming up - Paul gets back to dealing basics. | 0:23:24 | 0:23:28 | |
The first thing I'll do, Charlie, is get rid of this table. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
And Charlie discovers it's not so easy. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
I can't get people in here, that's the main problem. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:37 | |
They tend to walk past. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:39 | |
It's first thing in the morning here at Newark antiques market, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
and the traders are preparing for one of the biggest days in the UK antiques calendar. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:50 | |
Our brave boys know that over the next eight hours, they face their biggest challenge yet - | 0:23:53 | 0:23:58 | |
trying to sell to Newark's legion of private buyers and profit-hungry dealers. | 0:23:58 | 0:24:02 | |
I don't know whether to put my table out or leave it in here. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
The first thing to do, Charlie, is get rid of this table. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
-You can't sell without a table! -There's method in my madness. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
-Where are you going to put it? -I've got a unique method of selling. -Have you got a magic carpet? -Yep. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:18 | |
Oh, you're reducing the quality of the area. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
-That's my shop front, so let's see what happens. -Oh, dear! | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
I need to get my nice silk damask tablecloth into action. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
Already, our boys are taking totally different approaches to the way they're setting out their wares, | 0:24:31 | 0:24:37 | |
but which one of them has judged this market and its clientele most accurately? | 0:24:37 | 0:24:43 | |
-The decorative award goes to C Ross. -Charlie's got a good strategy there, | 0:24:43 | 0:24:47 | |
he's gone for the very posh look. I've gone for the dealer's market - | 0:24:47 | 0:24:50 | |
that's what this place is full of, dealers. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
Gentlemen, it's time to reveal your stalls. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
Newark old hand Paul is convinced that his informal, ground-level display will lure in the buyers. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:10 | |
Just as his rival predicted, the Charmer has gone for | 0:25:10 | 0:25:14 | |
the upmarket look, displaying his pieces in a classic table top array. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:19 | |
It all comes down to this - Oxfordshire's finest gent against | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Morecambe's man of the people in their final showdown. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
-I like your stall there, Charlie, looking good. -May the best man win. -Yes, I probably will. Ha! | 0:25:27 | 0:25:32 | |
And guess what? It's the Newark new boy who's first to get some interest - in his 12 colour prints. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:40 | |
-80, is that for the whole lot, sir? What do you think? -85. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
There's 80. Have you got a fiver? | 0:25:43 | 0:25:46 | |
If you've only got pound coins, I'll take 84. | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
Oh, that's 84! You're an absolute... | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
Thank you very much, madam. Thank you, sir. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
£84, that's a profit of just under £37, and a cracking start for the Charmer. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
And he increases his early lead when he sells a watch from one of his job lots for £15. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:10 | |
£15, sir, done. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
But then, the man from Morecambe bursts into the selling action. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:17 | |
First to go is his silver-plated claret jug for £25. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
That will be 25 if you want it. That's lovely, thank you very much. | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
And just as the interest starts to dry up for Charlie, Paul gets on a selling roll. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:31 | |
First to be snapped up, his Poole pottery barrel. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Erm, that one can be...30 quid. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:38 | |
OK, that's good. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
Then, his Derby jug more than doubles its money when he sells it for £20. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:44 | |
-What's the best price you can do me? -How about 20 quid? | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
That's a little memory of today, and meeting me. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:50 | |
-Yeah, take care. -All the best. Cheers, mate, bye now. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:53 | |
Another silver piece goes next. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:56 | |
£24 just for you. 50% discount, just because you've got a green jacket on. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
That's an absolute bargain. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
You won't go no lower? | 0:27:03 | 0:27:04 | |
Erm, how low do you want me to go? | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
-Ha-ha! We'll say 20. -OK, that's lovely, thank you very much. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
Paul certainly seems to speak this market's language. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
The buyers love him! | 0:27:15 | 0:27:17 | |
I couldn't imagine me putting a posh thing out like that... | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
I would be disappointed if I came to your house and you didn't. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
He's like a sort of selling machine! | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
£15 and we'll have a deal. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:29 | |
I will let you into a little secret here, it's cost me 16, so I can't work on losses. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:33 | |
18 quid and we'll have a deal. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
-Go on, then. -We'll shake on that, shall we? | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
The man from Morecambe has slammed down the gauntlet, and Roscoe is starting to feel the pressure. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:44 | |
He's selling all his stuff, I'm a bit worried about Morecambe. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:47 | |
Morecambe is taking the dosh, he keeps going into his little pouch and pulling out change for people. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
I can't get people in here, that's the main problem, they tend to walk past. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
Perhaps that says something about the quality of my stock. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
Well, it's a bit late to be worrying about that, Charlie old boy, because Paul is about to realise | 0:28:00 | 0:28:06 | |
his international sales strategy by targeting this Dutch couple with his silver-plated teapot. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:11 | |
That's really nice, lovely condition. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:14 | |
-I only ever buy things which are in really nice condition. -Yeah. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
And that dates maybe 1910, 1920? | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
-That is so neat. -Yes, we buy it. -It's a bargain. Thank you very much. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
-How do you say thank you in Holland? -Dank u wel. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:28 | |
It looks like Paul has pinched his rival's charm, and our Charlie is struggling to get a bite. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:34 | |
Can I tempt you to anything on my stall? | 0:28:34 | 0:28:37 | |
Any of the ladies? Come round my stall and have a look. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:40 | |
If you don't look, you can't spend anything. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
But a man of Charlie's character never gives up, and he finally gets some interest in his scent bottle. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:49 | |
It looks so typically Art Deco. | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
-For five quid, it's neither here nor there. -I'll have it. -Well done. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:55 | |
His orange toilet jug and bowl are up next. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
10 quid, if you want it. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
-Can I have the lot? -You certainly can. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
I've just offered it to a lady and a gentleman. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
It's Edwardian, I should think it's 1910. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:09 | |
-Done. -Done. 10 quid, sold to the lady in the corner. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:13 | |
£10, keep them coming, Charlie, strike while the interest is there! | 0:29:13 | 0:29:17 | |
-How much do you want for the whole lot? -Oh, my goodness me. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:20 | |
I'll take £40 for the lot. | 0:29:20 | 0:29:24 | |
-OK. -Well done. Thank you, my dear. | 0:29:24 | 0:29:27 | |
Now, things are really spicing up. | 0:29:27 | 0:29:29 | |
Paul is lining up another sale. | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
-Isn't that lovely? -I'll give you £40 for it. | 0:29:31 | 0:29:34 | |
Come on, I like a good deal. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
I like a deal, but I don't like being hit hard in the stomach, and winded. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:43 | |
-Lovely. -Can't do 45. | 0:29:43 | 0:29:45 | |
45? £42.50. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
All right, shall we have that for £42.50? | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
The buyers love our blue-eyed boy, but Charlie's back on top selling form, | 0:29:52 | 0:29:58 | |
charming some interest in his table from these ladies, all the way from the US of A. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:02 | |
-I would sell it to you for 100 quid, special offer. -It's nice. I like it. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:07 | |
I mean, it can't be expensive for that. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
It's in jolly good order, it's definitely got age, it's not a repro or anything like that. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:15 | |
And it's got this super frieze to it. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
It cost me £75, my dear. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |
Make it 25 quid. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
IN AMERICAN ACCENT: I love you the way you say "25 quid"! | 0:30:22 | 0:30:26 | |
Oh, Charlie, you say all the right things, you old charmer! | 0:30:26 | 0:30:31 | |
-Done. -Madam, mwah! Here's to Georgia. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
-You'll have to come and see us. -I would love to. -We've got a lovely antique shop. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:39 | |
-There's a lovely song, Georgia On My Mind. -Yes, that's right. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:43 | |
Ah, it seems these Georgia ladies just can't get enough. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
# Georgia, Georgia... # | 0:30:46 | 0:30:53 | |
-I love the chimney. -You can have it for 35 quid. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
It would look great with plants in it. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
How about 30? | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
-30, sold. -All right, we'll have that, too. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:05 | |
Good, that's the way to do business. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
Charlie Ross, ladies and gentlemen - charmer, heartbreaker, deal-doer. | 0:31:07 | 0:31:12 | |
Paul is furiously trying to line up a sale of his own. | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
I'll do them for 40 quid the pair, | 0:31:20 | 0:31:22 | |
-and that's a fiver - how does that sound? -It's a deal. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
-OK. -Sounds good to me. I think they're wonderful, | 0:31:25 | 0:31:27 | |
I've never seen anything like them. I wish you all the best. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |
£45 to Paul, but Charlie is matching him every step of the way. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
He's just sold his Victorian walnut-framed mirror for £90. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:39 | |
No, that's fine. OK, thank you very much indeed, bye-bye. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:44 | |
Onwards and upwards. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
And I have got... | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
le veritable stack of cash here. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:52 | |
But I still haven't broken even. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
More sales needed. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
That's the spirit, Charlie! | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
This showdown is turning into a titanic tussle. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
The man from Morecambe came hurtling off the blocks. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:04 | |
So far he's sold 10 items, and he's made £225.50. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:09 | |
But he's got another £313.50 to make before he breaks into profit. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:15 | |
With steely determination, | 0:32:15 | 0:32:17 | |
the Charmer has been making up for a desperately slow start. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:20 | |
He's sold 14 items and made £369. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:24 | |
So he's got to make another £364.45 before he breaks into profit. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:30 | |
Our brave boys know they need to pull out all the stops, | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
as they enter the final phase of this epic challenge, and the Charmer is making his presence felt. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:42 | |
Roll up, roll up, roll up for Roscoe's snips. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
I thought that might work. But actually it probably drives people away. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:51 | |
Well, Charlie's certainly doing something right, because he's lined up the sale of his silver elephant. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:57 | |
-140 quid, sir? -Yeah, that's fine. | 0:32:57 | 0:32:59 | |
There we go, you have my elephant, I'll have your money. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
Well, again, it's a tiny profit, but it's such a lovely thing, | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
and I'm losing the confidence in things at this time of day. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
Oh, stay strong, Charlie - believe, and the buyers will come. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:17 | |
-Right, chaps, we've got that, that and that. -Yep. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:21 | |
-And those. -Yep. | 0:33:21 | 0:33:23 | |
-40 quid the whole lot, because that's all you've got, isn't it? -It is! | 0:33:23 | 0:33:27 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
I think you've cemented me into a substantial loss there. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:33 | |
But you've been my best customer today. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
Yes, good work, Charlie, eight pieces sold for £40. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
Watch out, Mr Morecambe. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
Sometimes you have to think outside the box. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
I've got a bit of a lull in traffic at the minute, | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
so I'm going to take my lovely silver cruet and my pistol-grip silver handles | 0:33:46 | 0:33:51 | |
and see if I can sell them on the move. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:53 | |
Do you want to come? | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
Oh, we surely do, Paul, go for it. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
-How are you doing? Good to see you. -Thank you very much. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
Are they the sort of thing that you'd be interested in? | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
-Erm, it depends on the money. -Well, about 110 for the lot. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
-No, thank you. -Not even for these? | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
No, thank you. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:09 | |
Paul's got his work cut out here - this dealer is only interested in this set of knives. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:14 | |
I'll buy them off you for £30. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
£30... That's a fiver a handle, isn't it? Can't you go 35? | 0:34:16 | 0:34:19 | |
-If they were silver-plated, I would give you a bit more. -32, then? | 0:34:19 | 0:34:23 | |
-All right. -Good man. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
£32 is a loss for Paul of £5. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:30 | |
And Paul's not the only one who's abandoning his stall in the hunt for profit. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:35 | |
There's a gentleman along here who had been looking at this, wanting to know a bit more about it. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:41 | |
And frankly, if he's not coming to me, I will go to him. | 0:34:41 | 0:34:45 | |
I've got to the stage of this time of day, where I've got to start getting rid of everything. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
-I'm nearly sold out, I've got a couple of things left. -You've done very well, haven't you? | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
I have. I'll sell it to you for 90 quid if you want. | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
I'd rather give you 75 for it. | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
-That's what I paid. -Is it? -Give me a tenner on it, give me 85 quid. -OK. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
Well done, Charlie, a £10 profit could make all the difference. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:08 | |
Paul is back on the move, and this time it's his tantalus that he wants to offload. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
Now, this morning, your good lady wife was looking at this tantalus. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:17 | |
One of the bottles is damaged, but it's not worth anything to you as a frame or...? | 0:35:17 | 0:35:22 | |
Not for me, but thank you for the offer. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
-Not even at a fabulous price? -It would have to be so fabulous that you'd have to be paying me. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:29 | |
That dealer might not be interested in the tantalus, but someone else is, | 0:35:29 | 0:35:33 | |
and a mystery lady snapped it up out of Paul's hands for £20 before disappearing into the crowd. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:40 | |
There we go, a lady has just given me £20. See what's happened there? | 0:35:40 | 0:35:44 | |
I wandered over to the stall, asked the gentleman for £20, the lady overheard and came over, | 0:35:44 | 0:35:49 | |
she's a bit shy, she's given me £20. Thank you very much! | 0:35:49 | 0:35:52 | |
Next, our Morecambe boy gets some interest in some pieces from his blue-and-white tea set. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:58 | |
20 quid. Lovely, thank you very much. Have a look at the other bits, while you get your money ready. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:05 | |
Ah, clever. Paul uses the old dealer's tactic of leaving your buyer to ponder your pieces. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:11 | |
-Two saucers... -Two saucers... | 0:36:11 | 0:36:15 | |
The breakfast cup... | 0:36:15 | 0:36:17 | |
And it's paid off, as Paul nets £30. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:19 | |
Is that all right with you? Smashing, thank you. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:22 | |
With the market starting to wind down, Charlie is desperate to offload his last remaining pieces. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:28 | |
Well, here it is. If I'd said at the beginning of the day, | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
"What are the last two things I'll have left in the world?", | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
it would be that damn wall bracket thing, which I'm frankly going to put in a bin, and my menus. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:41 | |
There's always something you regret. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
And of course, my costume jewellery. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
But, at a pound an hour, in another three weeks, I'd have sold the lot, so it's not too bad. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:50 | |
I'm going to go walk about with these three things, and then I'm nearly there. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:55 | |
And it's not long before he finds a buyer for his chain... | 0:36:55 | 0:36:58 | |
-I'll give you £8 for it, I've got to leave myself something. -Eight quid. Sold. -OK, done. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:02 | |
To the man in the corner. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
And then a buyer for his lamp base... | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
35 quid, yours for 20 quid, now. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
20, come on. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:13 | |
20 quid. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
Yeah! 20 quid's all right. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
He's getting there, but Paul is hot on his heels, and he's found another | 0:37:17 | 0:37:21 | |
pair of international buyers, this time from Oz. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
What happened to all the sunshine? | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
I think you must have kept it in Australia. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
How about 65 quid and the cake stand? | 0:37:28 | 0:37:31 | |
That is an absolute bargain. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:32 | |
-Actually, yeah, OK. -Fantastic. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:36 | |
I'll tell you what, come into my office, and I'll find you some paper. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:39 | |
That's another £65 to Mr Hayes for his cake stand and cruet sets. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:45 | |
All the best now. Thank you. Don't get too wet now. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:48 | |
As this market hurtles towards its conclusion, our boys are now focused on offloading whatever they can. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:55 | |
Paul sells his Indian tree-design pot. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
-I can do you that for 15. -Take a tenner? | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
Well, there's a saying, one bid is worth a thousand lookers-on. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:05 | |
Charlie has sold his wooden wall shelf for just £2, and he's got some interest in his Clarice Cliff jug. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:12 | |
Hiya, do you want to take 15 for that? | 0:38:12 | 0:38:14 | |
-Do I want to take 15 for it? -Yeah. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:17 | |
It cost 35 quid. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
I'll have it for 15. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
It's 1:50pm, everybody's going home. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
-15, then? -Sold, sir. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:26 | |
Cheered by his success, Charlie goes on to sell his costume jewellery for £20. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:31 | |
You've been my absolute godsend today, my dear. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:36 | |
-Godsend! -You have. -Don't know about that. -£20. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:39 | |
And he homes in on a buyer for his menus and programmes. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
Thank you very much, my dear. Bye-bye. | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
Well, there we are. We have finished two solid days' work | 0:38:46 | 0:38:51 | |
with taking a pound, but I've got nothing left to sell. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
Well done, the Charmer. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:56 | |
Your opponent will surely be delighted. | 0:38:56 | 0:39:00 | |
-I've got nothing left. I've sold the lot. -You've got nothing? Nothing?! | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
But I've got one problem. Go on. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:06 | |
I've got so much money in my back pocket, walking is incredibly difficult. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:11 | |
Don't feel guilty for me now, will you? | 0:39:11 | 0:39:13 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
With the market emptying around him, Paul is sitting in the last-chance saloon. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:20 | |
# All by myself | 0:39:20 | 0:39:27 | |
# Don't want to be all by myself... # | 0:39:27 | 0:39:33 | |
Ah, but perhaps all is not lost. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
I'll make it a tenner, and I'll throw you in two cups to go with it, just for you two. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:41 | |
-With the saucers? -What you've got is a ready-made coffee set. Shall we shake on that? | 0:39:41 | 0:39:45 | |
-Goodbye. -Lovely to meet you. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
I'm delighted with my performance today. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
Most of all, I've proved that I can still do it, my strategy has worked to a tee, | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
I've sold loads and loads of items, | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
I made a good profit, and hopefully I've beaten that Charlie Ross. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:01 | |
Well, it has been a steep learning curve. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:04 | |
The buying was hard, the selling of course started really easily and got harder and harder as the day went on, | 0:40:04 | 0:40:10 | |
and I took some losses at the end. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
But I've made an overall profit, and I've got nothing to take home with me, except a load of cash. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:18 | |
And with that, it's time to tot up the totals and find out exactly how much our dynamic duo have made. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:25 | |
The man from Morecambe spent £539 on 21 purchases. | 0:40:28 | 0:40:33 | |
While Charlie forked out just over £733, | 0:40:34 | 0:40:38 | |
buying 16 items and two job lots. | 0:40:38 | 0:40:41 | |
So, at last, it's time to reveal just how much profit our boys have made in today's showdown. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:48 | |
It's over! It's all over! | 0:40:48 | 0:40:51 | |
-Have you recovered? -Only just! | 0:40:51 | 0:40:52 | |
Do you know what? Over the course of the day, I ended up selling things for a little bit of a loss. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:57 | |
A LITTLE bit of a loss?! I went running round the fair, selling things to anybody! | 0:40:57 | 0:41:02 | |
Yeah, but you sold the whole lot. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:03 | |
At any price I did, but my final coup de grace was selling something for a pound that had cost 18. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:08 | |
-OK, so, this could be quite close, then? -It wasn't all roses. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:12 | |
All right, shall we see how we got on? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
-Yeah, go on, count it down. -Three, two, one... | 0:41:14 | 0:41:18 | |
You swine! | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
So, it's victory for Charlie today. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
Over a week of challenges, our boys have been battling against each other in the quest for profit. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:32 | |
It's now time to find out who is this week's overall champion. | 0:41:32 | 0:41:34 | |
-Go on, count it down again. -Three, two, one... | 0:41:34 | 0:41:38 | |
Oh! Well done! That's amazing. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:42 | |
-Mr Morecambe, how close is that? -Congratulations, mate, that's fantastic. -Absolutely amazing. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:48 | |
And our charities have done pretty well. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
Brilliant. Well done, mate. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:52 | |
Put it here. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:53 | |
-You're a good man. -So are you, Charlie. Can you give me any tips? | 0:41:53 | 0:41:57 | |
So, it's an overall victory for the Charmer. | 0:41:57 | 0:42:00 | |
Both our boys have made good profits, and every penny they've made | 0:42:00 | 0:42:04 | |
will be going to their chosen charities. | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
I've managed over the entire week to make almost £900 for the Derian House Children's Hospice. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:12 | |
I'm delighted with that, and they're the real winners. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
My charity, the National Society For Epilepsy, and I'm going to be giving them well over £1,000. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:21 | |
And who knows, with a little more help and tuition | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
from my good friend Mr Morecambe, one day I might just make a dealer. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:30 | |
Well, after a week of no-holds-barred combat, | 0:42:31 | 0:42:35 | |
both our experts have put their money where their mouths are, | 0:42:35 | 0:42:39 | |
and proved that they've got what it takes to make a profit from antiques, | 0:42:39 | 0:42:42 | |
when their own money is on the line. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:44 | |
