This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown, | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
the greatest challenge our experts have faced yet. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
In just 48 frantic hours, | 0:00:07 | 0:00:10 | |
our duelling dealers will each have to source, buy and then sell | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
an entire stall's worth of antiques testing their knowledge, stamina | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
and nerve to the absolute limit. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:23 | |
Coming up, our experts show you how the hands on approach to dealing can often work wonders... | 0:00:23 | 0:00:30 | |
Come on, don't be greedy, it's only money. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Mind you don't fall over when you walk off, cos you're not buying it. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
..How to leave no stone unturned in the hunt for a bargain... | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
I love buying boxes of goodies because you never know what's hidden at the bottom. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:43 | |
..And when doing your deal, only cash up front will do. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
No, you're not paying me in kind, stop it. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
Today, it's the final battle between... | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
..and... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:10 | |
Throughout the week, they've been fighting it out | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
Mr Harper's probably terrified. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
But now it's time to find out what our experts are taking on today, | 0:01:20 | 0:01:25 | |
the most difficult challenge of their dealing careers. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
Early morning delivery, I'll see what this says. "David Harper," that's me. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
"This is your showdown, the challenge is simple." Good. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
"You have today to buy antiques and collectibles from wherever you like. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:40 | |
"Tomorrow, you must sell your items off a stall at the Malvern Antiques Fair." | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
Both our duelling dealers have up to £1,000 of their own money | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
to spend, and the winner of this challenge | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
will be the one who makes the most profit. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
"You will find suggestions for places where you can buy items together with | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
"the details of tomorrow's market in your information pack," shown here. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:02 | |
Our tussling titans have got just one day to buy up an entire stall's worth of antiques. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
Tomorrow, they'll be selling the whole lot in direct competition, | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
to the discerning shoppers at Malvern Antiques market in Worcestershire. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
This popular market is set close to the rolling Malvern Hills | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
and attracts up to 1,500 dealers and public a day | 0:02:22 | 0:02:26 | |
with its mix of traditional antiques and retro items. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
So, how exactly does David propose to tackle this? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
There's an auction in South Doncaster, | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
which is about an hour and a half away from me. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
It's now quarter to eight. It's a case of blowing the grand, | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
getting myself off to Malvern, seeing Mark Franks, up early in the morning, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:45 | |
nice early start, sell, sell, sell. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
Gosh, so much to do and absolutely no time at all. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:54 | |
It's actually quite stressful this. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
I don't mind a bit of stress but this is a bit crazy. The clock is ticking. | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
Right. So a bag of polish... Ah! | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
My "David Harper Antiques & Vintage" sign, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
that'll do wonders and a bit of fabric for the stall. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
I mean, this is all about selling antiques. It's not an interior design | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
flouncy exhibition, this will have to do. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
Selling antiques is what I do. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
Well, who'd have ever thunk it. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
It's not even 8am yet and David's got the pedal to the metal. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:26 | |
As always, Franksy is a man with a plan. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:30 | |
I'm going go to Arundel because there's a car boot sale on. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
Should have been there two hours ago really, but I reckon I can still have a little tear up. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:38 | |
Today's going to be a doddle buying. I'll be at the hotel before Harpo with my feet up. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
I might be sitting round by the pool in my undies. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
I say, watch out Worcester! | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
I can see I've got a van and a very good-looking man, | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
who doesn't wave back. So, I'll see you later. Let's go. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:56 | |
So, Franksy's strategy is to drive 60 miles | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
in the wrong direction to a boot sale that started over an hour ago? | 0:03:59 | 0:04:04 | |
From where I am, we've got to travel south to Arundel, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
which is about an hour. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
I've been to Malvern before, it was closed. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
Steady on. It sounds like our London lad's got a bit too used to the 24-hour culture of the capital. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:20 | |
On route to his auction room, Devilish David isn't twiddling his thumbs. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
His dealer's mind is like a steel trap and he's got profit on the brain. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
Right, well according to the SatNav four minutes to the location. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:32 | |
It's almost half past nine, that will give me just over an hour | 0:04:32 | 0:04:36 | |
to view and scour the sale room. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
I'm just hoping there's going to be some lovely small items, | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
maybe a box of goodies. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
I love buying boxes of goodies because you never know what's hidden at the bottom. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
David arrives at a local sale room in Doncaster | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
with just one hour 15 minutes left to view hundreds of lots. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:54 | |
Devilish puts on his profit-tinted glasses and begins to sweep | 0:04:54 | 0:04:58 | |
the sale room like a pro for top class stall stock. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
-Hmm, no comment. -Right, OK. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
First impressions, as you can see it was described as an antiques and general sale but mixed in amongst it, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:13 | |
which makes me very excited, are some lovely choice antique pieces. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:19 | |
Get to it, Devilish, the auction starts in 45 minutes. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
And as David locks eyes with future antique buys, | 0:05:24 | 0:05:28 | |
Mark is looking at nothing more interesting than the A23. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:31 | |
OK, it is nearly ten o'clock in the morning. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
We're still on route, the traffic's bad, the weather's bad. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
Back at the Doncaster sale room, David's determination to leave | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
no profit possibility unturned has come up trumps. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
This is a real antique, George III, maybe early Regency, 1820, | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
possibly 1830, sarcophagus shape in mahogany. It's a tea caddy. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:58 | |
Price-wise, it doesn't want to be more than £10, £15. Be nice for that. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
OK, ladies and gentlemen, here we go. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
It's time to get weaving. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:10 | |
Canny dealer as he is, David knows his stall will need serious | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
antique kerb appeal and here they are - woof, woof! | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
I'm going to have a go at the pair of mid-1940s, '50s toy dogs. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:25 | |
There's no estimates for this sale today, so the auctioneer cuts straight to the chase. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:31 | |
Ten bid. £10. Any more? Done, finished at ten. And it's number 41. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
It's nice to get a start. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Including commission, that's just under £12. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:42 | |
Now, let's have a look how Mark is getting on. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
Oh, dear, maybe not. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:50 | |
I don't know how many times I come to an auction | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
I get that nervous feeling. I feel it in my toes to the top of my head. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
It's a tingling sensation and I love it. | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
David is keen to get his mitts on this mirror. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
All done, it's cheap this. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:03 | |
I can't believe it. He should have put the hammer down there. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
Good man. Thank you very much. That was a very, very cheap find. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
With fees, the toilet mirror has cost just over £23.50 of his budget | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
and the auctioneer has managed to tweak every penny out of him. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
£15 bid. Any more? I'll take half if it'll help you. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
He's very good. He's gone five, ten, 15, 20 and before you know it, | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
you're paying £20. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
You better watch that wallet then, Devilish. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:31 | |
In West Sussex, one boot sale doesn't know what's about to hit it. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
Its Franksy, the man of a thousand deals has arrived at the boot. He's ready, he's willing. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:41 | |
I'm going to start buying. Are you coming? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:43 | |
And he's most certainly able, if only he wasn't four hours late. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:48 | |
It's 11 o'clock, here we are, Arundel car boot sale, rain has stopped play. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
There's still a few dealers here. I'm going to have a mooch around. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:55 | |
I've got a bag of sand, a grand to spend. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:56 | |
Do you know what? Will that fit in the van? | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
-Yes. -What else have you got? Anything that's nice? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-I had 19 of these this morning. -I tell you what, Marcus, I'll make you | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
a one off offer, because I am here to buy, I'll offer you £300. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
-Yes or no? -That's my lucky number. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-Thank you very much. -That's eight porcelain ladies and a velvet sofa to boot. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
He also snaps up a bargain basement mixed box of goodies. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
Pictures, this little gem and the box. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
-£140 then. -Done. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
And two Victorian conch shell figurines are his for a little light flirting. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
What do you want on them? | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
-25. Victorian. -Go on then, only because I fancy you. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
I tell you what, give us a price on the boat, the clouded glass and the three decanters. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:43 | |
-£180. -Cor blimey. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
What do I do? Do I carry on looking down there at them stalls, | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
or do I spend the money | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
on the modern boat, a bit of glass that won't clean up, | 0:08:49 | 0:08:54 | |
and three nice decanters, which are all the money? | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
What would you do? I'll see you after the break. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
Now, that's a cliff-hanger. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:03 | |
In Doncaster, David's sticking to his minimal outlay strategy like a limpet. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:09 | |
I've snapped up something that's really cheap. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:12 | |
They're not great but a pair of wine racks for a couple of quid, I mean, | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
they're as daft as brushes. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:17 | |
Well, that's a whole two pound coins plus 35p commission. | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
How can our Devilish Dave fail to make a profit at that price? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:26 | |
Making up for lost time, Mark's already snapped up 19 items from the boot. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:32 | |
Now, he's brokering a booty deal for these three antiques and fancies his chances of a good price. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
Would you not rather have a bulging pocket than breakable stock with a broken mast? | 0:09:37 | 0:09:43 | |
-Go on then, £135. -OK, you've got a deal. -It's only money, honey. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
-You're a hard man. -I know. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
He's spending money like Viv Nicholson after a pools win. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:53 | |
David, you need to up your game pronto. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
In the sale room, David's spotted a nice little earner in several lots of Royal Crown Derby porcelain. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:02 | |
Local buyers have already snapped up the first two lots. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
There are five of them. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
Third time lucky, David? | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
£25. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
Too expensive. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:12 | |
£25. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Oh, my gosh. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
Disaster! David took on the local boys and lost. | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
The Imari is out of his life and off his stall. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
I'm getting worried now because I've only spent about £30. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:27 | |
And as David bombs up in Doncaster, Mark's boot-buying strategy is going stratospheric. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:33 | |
He pounced on this basket weave chair for a scant £1.75, | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
and now he's heading over to cause havoc with some of the only traders on the block. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
How about we do this, right? Two benches and these two, | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
you can carve it up however you like and I'll give £80. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:50 | |
We won't be carving it up too much, will we? | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
Our boy from the boot stuff is trying to beat these dyed in the wool | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
dealers at their own game, but they're not having it. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Let's walk round because I fancy you might have missed something, | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
then we'll lump it all together and see if I can come out the right end. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
Mark isn't standing on ceremony. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Good dealers know the best stuff isn't always on display. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:18 | |
He's trashing this van. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Buy something, for goodness sake! | 0:11:22 | 0:11:24 | |
I tell you what I'll do. I'll go £35 on them two there. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:28 | |
-On the sinks? -No, one sink and a picture. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:33 | |
£40. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
Deal done. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:36 | |
With Devilish giving it some serious welly at the auction room and Franksy putting the boot in | 0:11:36 | 0:11:42 | |
at the, well, the boot, it's time to see how the cookie is crumbling | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |
so far in this mega dealer face off. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:50 | |
Our duelling duo started the day with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:55 | |
Franksy made a slow start but picked up speed, spending | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
just over £641 on 22 items, leaving him just under £360 to spend. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:07 | |
Devilish David made slow but steady progress, | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
spending just under £40, including auction fees, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
meaning he's got way over £900 still in his kitty. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
Our clashing colossi have got just 48 hours to each source, buy | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
and then sell an entire stall's worth of collectibles | 0:12:24 | 0:12:27 | |
at a posh Malvern antiques fair. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
Our London son is on a roll now. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:38 | |
Not content with nailing one poor dealer to the floor at this boot sale, | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
he's now offering his mate a deal he can refuse. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:45 | |
I know you don't want to, I'm not being horrible but I've decided | 0:12:45 | 0:12:48 | |
I don't like the black bench, but I'll give you a score for the green one, how's that sound? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:53 | |
Do you want to load that on, or do you want to spend that down the boozer? | 0:12:53 | 0:12:59 | |
-What shall we do, Tone? -All right. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:02 | |
-Give us your money. -Deal. Lovely. Thank you very much. | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
It's actually lovely. Look at the legs. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Look at the shape of that. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
With room in his van already limited, | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
Franksy's pulling ahead of David in this buying bonanza. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
Devilish needs to crack out the cash pronto. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
There we go. It's a paper roller, ladies and gents. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-£16. -Some kind of paper roller. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
I don't know if I've ever seen a paper roller before. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
It's a novelty quirky item. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:35 | |
Has David won the booby prize? | 0:13:35 | 0:13:38 | |
Let's hope the Malvern buyers won't think so. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
For this, an outlay of just under £19. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
Like Franksy, our Devilish dude snaps up an antique bench | 0:13:43 | 0:13:48 | |
for just under £19 including fees. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:51 | |
That's good, but what David needs is some classic antiquary. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
-That'll do nicely. -At £160. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
Number 41. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Wow. OK, crinoline stretcher, 19th century, cracking thing, but £160. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:08 | |
You know what I thought I'd pay for that today, £50, £60. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
Not exactly cheap as chips. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |
This tasty chair is David's for the princely sum of £188.20 | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
with commission added in. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
Over 200 miles away, Franksy has gathered together a gang of the usual boot sale suspects. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:27 | |
Piano stool, shelves, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
and the map. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:32 | |
Are we going to mess about for an hour or two or just straight... No bids, Mark, please. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
There's no stallholders, there's no-one else play with. I might as well stay and play with you. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
50 quid, I can't be bid on it. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
£40, deal? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:47 | |
Don't bother rushing back, Mark. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
That's it, Tone. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
Franksy's left this trader in need of medical attention. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:58 | |
Feel like I got to go and see a doctor. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:00 | |
David is also finding that in the world of dealing, | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
everyone wants a piece of your cash. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
That's more like it. I'm only happy when I'm spending money. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:12 | |
He bags this picturesque painting for just over £29 including fees. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:18 | |
I better keep a tight record here. I don't want to be over spending. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
Now he's got his beady mince pies on this timepiece. Let's see how he does. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:25 | |
All out done, £45. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:29 | |
OK. I've just bought an Edwardian circa 1910 hanging wall clock. | 0:15:29 | 0:15:33 | |
I didn't really have a close look at but it just looks quite cheap. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:37 | |
David gives beavers a run for their money in his eagerness to rid himself of the folding stuff. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:42 | |
That lovely sarcophagus-shaped tea caddy. Here we go. I'm going to bid on this one. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:48 | |
At £40 only bid. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
I think I've paid a bit too much money for that thing. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
All done at 5-0, number 41. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
-Banjo barometer, 20. -There we go. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
All done at £55. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Let's hope it works. | 0:16:02 | 0:16:04 | |
All done. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:06 | |
I've seen a bunch of pictures for three quid. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
This is a toast rack, a Lurpak butter toast rack. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
All done, finished at £1. Number 41. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
I love that. It's my favourite lot actually. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
Oh, there's no flies on Devilish today. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
He picks up five lots, not exactly for nothing but just over £175 including fees. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:29 | |
Well, that's my auction buying over for today, anyway, | 0:16:29 | 0:16:33 | |
and it is just five past one, | 0:16:33 | 0:16:34 | |
which leaves me just under five hours to spend the rest of the money. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:38 | |
The only thing is this is not my neck of the woods, I don't know where the friendly antique dealers are. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:45 | |
So, wagons roll. The fabulous Harper antiques show is on the road towards Profits Ville. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:50 | |
There's a centre nearby, about 30 minutes away, called Earls Carr Antiques Centre. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
I've been there before and it's a cracking buying environment. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
By the time I get there, I'm going to have another | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
two hours or so, at least, to hopefully find something else. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
So, onwards and upwards. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:08 | |
Now, down in Arundel, Mark's got an offer on the table | 0:17:08 | 0:17:12 | |
for three chairs and this carved wooden settle. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:14 | |
If only the seller shared his enthusiasm to close the deal. | 0:17:14 | 0:17:18 | |
I thought you wanted to sell, I didn't know you wanted to take it home. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
I don't mind selling it but I really don't want to give it away, man. | 0:17:21 | 0:17:25 | |
25 or I'm walking. Come one, don't be greedy, it's only money. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
Don't fall over when you walk off then, son, | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
because you're not buying it. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:33 | |
Come on, Mark, be sensible, son. | 0:17:33 | 0:17:37 | |
Oh, this is like watching Clint Eastwood face down John Wayne. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
25 or 40, call. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:44 | |
Tails. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:47 | |
Tails it is. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
OK, I tossed a coin, Tony won, and to be fair, | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
he's been very kind to me so he did deserve to win that one. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
Thanks very much, Mark. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
I do hope that's £40 that brings you a bit of luck. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:01 | |
-Good luck, son. -Thanks a lot, mate. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:03 | |
And I better give you your 50p back before I get in trouble. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:06 | |
That's me, I'm done and dusted. The last item of the day. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:09 | |
Let's load it up and get out of here. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:11 | |
Finally! It might have felt like pulling teeth to those traders, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
but Franksy's boot sale buying spree has come up trumps. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
If anyone can clear a stall in one day, it's Mark Franks. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:22 | |
I've got something for everyone at this antiques fair. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
It doesn't matter if you're buying bits of china, bits of glass, | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
we've got statues, we've got everything you could possibly want. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:32 | |
He's got piles of stock for his stall tomorrow and it's time to ship out. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:37 | |
I'm done and dusted, the van's full up, I'm on the way to Malvern, | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
I'm done, easy-peasy. How you getting on, Mr Harper? | 0:18:41 | 0:18:46 | |
Malvern, driver, and don't spare the horses. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
Well, Franksy might have shut up shop already but for David the buying day is still young. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:55 | |
MOBILE RINGS Mark Franks, | 0:18:55 | 0:18:58 | |
checking up on me. | 0:18:58 | 0:18:59 | |
Hello, David Harper. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:01 | |
I'm done, I've spent up, finished. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:03 | |
-You haven't? -'Yes.' | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
-Seriously? -I swear. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:08 | |
Well, listen, well done, you. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:09 | |
I'm genuinely very pleased for you. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
Just remember, we've got one day to sell all this stuff in. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:15 | |
You know what, Mark? That is what is scaring the pants off me. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
Let's just hope it doesn't scare the pants off you, keep your pants on. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
I'll try and keep my pants on, Mark. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:24 | |
OK, mate, I'll see you later. Good luck. | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
Cheers. Bye-bye. Bye. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Well, he's on fire, isn't he? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
I'm going back to my mate Robbie. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
He only wants to feel real love, a bit like me. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
# ..I just want to feel real love | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
# Feel the home that I live in... # | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
With rival Mark relaxing with his feet up, | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
David's feeling the pressure to buy, buy, buy and, he's bought. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
Well, I'm very pleased to announce that I am the proud owner of this | 0:19:52 | 0:19:57 | |
drop-dead gorgeous Art Deco mirror. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
Now, this thing in a good antiques sale, an interior design sale, | 0:20:00 | 0:20:04 | |
could easily touch £100 and I've just bagged it at a trade sale, | 0:20:04 | 0:20:09 | |
what a place, for £20. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
This baby is coming in the van with me. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
Well, I've got to say that is it for my buying trip today. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
I could have spent more money in there, but I'd need much more time and time really is pushing on. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:26 | |
So, this is it, the final item, it's in the van and off to see Franksy. What a delight. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:32 | |
Oh, like a shark scenting blood, David can see profit on the horizon. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
Franksy, you're going to need a bigger boat. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:41 | |
# ..I just want to feel real love... # | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
So, it's down tools time and our two duelling dealers | 0:20:46 | 0:20:50 | |
hot foot it to their rendezvous. | 0:20:50 | 0:20:53 | |
David and Mark both started out the day with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:58 | |
Mark has spent big, laying out just under £780 on 36 items of stock, | 0:20:58 | 0:21:05 | |
plus stall decoration. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:07 | |
David, on the other hand, has bagged 16 items, less than half | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
the antiques of his rival, and spent just under £600, including fees. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:16 | |
In Malvern, Franksy has arrived at the hotel to find it a David-free zone. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:21 | |
I've been here nearly two hours. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:24 | |
Here he is. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:27 | |
David, I've bought you a pint. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
-No, I bought you a pint. -I'm pleased, I'm pleased. -It is your round. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-Well, deserved drink, how you doing? -Good to see you. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
Very good, I've had a long hard, horrible day. Tough day, how about you? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
Have you got any money left? | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
Yes, I've got money left, disappointingly. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:51 | |
-What about you? -I've got no money left, but I've got an empty glass. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
Come on, I'll get you a drink. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
I just feel relieved to have goods that can be sold and I'm in my bedroom ready to order some food | 0:21:57 | 0:22:05 | |
and get an early night, because my strategy for selling starts now | 0:22:05 | 0:22:10 | |
and that is food, bed, early up, get to the fair, get the goods out, | 0:22:10 | 0:22:16 | |
get my polishes out and get everything prepared | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
because prior preparation for selling is everything. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
Plan of action. Strategy. | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
Very simple. Any profits, take them quick as you like, don't mess around. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:31 | |
I've seen what David's bought. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:32 | |
I'm not worried at all. I've had this one. | 0:22:36 | 0:22:38 | |
Easy-peasy, in the bag. All I've got to do is sell the stuff. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:42 | |
But, mind you, selling is a lot harder than buying. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:46 | |
Coming up, Mark shows how a little romance never hurt a sale. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:51 | |
Oh. I'm off, see you, David! | 0:22:51 | 0:22:56 | |
And David puts his shoulder to the selling wheel. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Working hard, working hard. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:00 | |
But that's what you've got to do, you don't earn money without work, you've got to graft it. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
It's first thing in the morning in Worcester, where the Malvern Antiques Market | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
is gearing up for a busy day's trading. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
Dealers are setting up shop ready for the influx of potential buyers, | 0:23:14 | 0:23:18 | |
a mix of day trippers, trade and private collectors. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:22 | |
Over the next eight hours, our duelling duo face their biggest challenge yet. | 0:23:22 | 0:23:27 | |
They must attempt to sell everything they bought yesterday. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:31 | |
Mr. Harper. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:33 | |
I'm desperate to get going. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:35 | |
-Are you ready? -You should dress your stall up first. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Get your cloth out, I'll get my cloth. Go. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:42 | |
Franksy and Devilish David have stalls side by side. | 0:23:42 | 0:23:45 | |
They will have to pull out all the stops to ensure buyers come to their stall first. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:50 | |
Which might explain this. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
Franksy's using expanding insulation foam in an entirely novel way. | 0:23:55 | 0:24:01 | |
It's like an explosion in a paint factory. It looks like Devilish is equally baffled. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:09 | |
Is that one of your antiques? | 0:24:10 | 0:24:12 | |
Well, it's certainly eye catching but whether Franksy's rainbow stall decor converts into profit | 0:24:12 | 0:24:17 | |
remains to be seen. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:19 | |
The demon seller has opted for a more low key approach to bring in his customers. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:23 | |
Which stall is decked out for victory and which will prove a damp squib? | 0:24:25 | 0:24:31 | |
Gentlemen, reveal your stalls. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
Roll up, people of Worcester your dealers await you. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
It's a fantastic thing. Utterly fantastic. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
I mean normally I'd want £90 for it honestly, £43. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:50 | |
Have it £40, good man, you've got a bargain there, well done. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
Yes, a whopping 100% profit of £20 for David's first sale | 0:24:57 | 0:25:02 | |
and before Mark can turn around he's at it again. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
Now, yes, that's a limited edition signed print. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:09 | |
£38, that's a good price. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:10 | |
£42 and we're done. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
-Got to be £40. -Do it, good man. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
Thanks very much. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:17 | |
-You've got a cracking buy there. Well, done you. -Well, done Devilish. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:20 | |
Over £10 of pure profit. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
So, I made £10 and a bit, £10 pure profit | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
and an extra sold sign which will bring the blighters onto my stall. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:32 | |
Like the Linford Christie of collectibles, David starts his race on the B of the bargain. | 0:25:32 | 0:25:39 | |
Ah, what's this? A return volley from Franksy's court? | 0:25:39 | 0:25:43 | |
Why don't I do you two for £15? | 0:25:44 | 0:25:49 | |
-Oh, go on. -Go on then. There you are, darling. -I don't suppose you have any boxes. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:53 | |
I've got boxes, bubble wrap... | 0:25:53 | 0:25:56 | |
That's £12.50 profit for the ceramic ladies. | 0:25:56 | 0:26:00 | |
-Can I leave with you? -I'm here all day, it will be in this vehicle. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:04 | |
OK, shouldn't be that long. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:06 | |
-Thank you, sir. -And Franksy's seafaring centrepiece bags him £10 profit. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:11 | |
Our demon dealer doesn't even blink at Mark's accomplished display of selling. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:16 | |
How can he? He's got his eyes on a customer of his own. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:20 | |
David snapped this up for under £20 at auction | 0:26:20 | 0:26:23 | |
but can he squeeze a comfortable profit margin out of this lady? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:28 | |
And that is £49. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:30 | |
You can do better than that. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:31 | |
I couldn't do a great deal better but I'll try. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:34 | |
Ooh, she's no pushover. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:36 | |
Do me £42. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
-Go on. -Go on, wonderful. Do I get a kiss as well? | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
Thank you very much indeed. Brilliant, well done you. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
Come back and we'll give you a hand with it. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
And delivery service thrown in too. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
That's another double bubble profit for Devilish. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
But, does our London lad look intimidated? Does he heck as like. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:57 | |
He's just sold his lamp... | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
It's only money. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
I'm not long for this world, I won't be taking it with me. Thank you, sir. | 0:27:00 | 0:27:04 | |
..and his shelves for £10 profit. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:06 | |
Happy days. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:08 | |
I tell you what, I'll take £40. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
That's just me getting my money back. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
Oh, look, he's trying to act all casual. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:17 | |
What do you think of my stall, it's nice isn't it? | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
And bingo, the "doesn't give two hoots" approach worked a treat. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:25 | |
-I'll have that. -I thought you would. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:27 | |
He's a man who knows what he's looking at. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
-What have you sold, Mark? What was that? -The shelves. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:33 | |
-Shelves, how much? -£25. -Yeah, what did you pay for those? | 0:27:33 | 0:27:37 | |
-About £15, I think. -OK. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:39 | |
Oh, hark at sticky beak here. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
How much profit have you made so far? | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-I don't know. -Go on, keep me informed. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
I don't know exactly, a little bit. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
He's fishing for information like a man trying to land Moby Dick. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:53 | |
You are killing my secret weapon of the aroma of wax, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:57 | |
all I can smell is like going into a car paint shop. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |
It's positively revolting, do you realise what you're doing to the antiques trade? | 0:28:00 | 0:28:04 | |
Livening it up a little bit. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:05 | |
A neon bright stall is an interesting selling strategy from Franksy. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:09 | |
Maybe a free pair of sunglasses for every buyer. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
I honestly think that if you look up and down this market, | 0:28:13 | 0:28:17 | |
it is a mass of boring shades of brown. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:21 | |
This, people standing and staring. It's making them focus and concentrate on my stall | 0:28:21 | 0:28:27 | |
and in so doing, they look at the stock. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:32 | |
I actually don't think it's the stock they're staring at. | 0:28:32 | 0:28:35 | |
No matter, if the tills are ringing the paint job's working. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |
I'll meet you in the middle at £15, but I don't do a penny less. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:43 | |
Thank you, sir, isn't it lovely? | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
Ker-ching. David has got his pot of polish in his hot little hand and he's not sparing the elbow grease. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:52 | |
Part of my top tip for selling strategy is always to remain on the stall, | 0:28:52 | 0:28:57 | |
be around and talk to every single human being that comes within a few feet radius of you. | 0:28:57 | 0:29:04 | |
Mark Franks, where is he? He's missing punters all the time. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:07 | |
He's somewhere else drinking coffee, eating bacon butties, | 0:29:07 | 0:29:11 | |
gassing away to other people and he's missing potential sales. Suits me. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
Well, don't laugh too loud, David, Franksy's sold double the items you have. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
Oh, look who's back. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:21 | |
I am the cheapest stall by far. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:23 | |
I've just sold a bench, three chairs and a hanging chair for £50. I must be mad. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:28 | |
But, to be fair, I'm selling and that's the name of the game. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:32 | |
Mark and David have been fighting it out now for four hours. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
Working hard, working hard, but that's what you've got to do, | 0:29:35 | 0:29:38 | |
you don't earn money without work, you've got to graft it. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:41 | |
David is taking a selling back seat so far, with only three sales to his name. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:47 | |
Mark, however, is happy to grab all the limelight with his cheeky, chirpy chappiness. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
Right, let me ask the boss. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:54 | |
Can you do that for £25? No! No, he didn't want to know. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:59 | |
Shall we dance? | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
See you, David! I think I've pulled! | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
Go on, buy it and I'll dance with you again. | 0:30:07 | 0:30:10 | |
A bit of bubble wrap. | 0:30:10 | 0:30:12 | |
You're going to spend all evening popping this, aren't you? | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
And his gift of the gab is getting results. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
Any chance of coming over for a roast dinner tonight? £25, come on, I've made you laugh. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:28 | |
There's a £10 deposit. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:29 | |
What's this, £10 deposit? | 0:30:32 | 0:30:35 | |
The silver tongued charmer has made over £30 profit with his motor mouth skills. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:41 | |
Devilish needs to get his selling skates on | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
if he wants to take on the mighty man of many words. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:50 | |
Oh, lovely, lovely stuff. | 0:30:50 | 0:30:53 | |
In nearly two hours, he's just sold one contemporary wine rack for just under £7 profit. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:58 | |
This is my old mate, Brad the antique dealer. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
David's amongst his own, but can he talk their language? | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
£50. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:06 | |
-Can't give you £50. -How much will you give me? -£45. | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
Give it to me. You're an absolute star. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
-Fluently. -This is why I love antique dealers because when they know a good deal, they just buy it. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:18 | |
-They buy them. -They buy. -And he makes nearly 300% profit on this 50s novelty toast rack. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:24 | |
Every pound counts. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
-Have you got change for £50? -Not bad for an outlay of just over a £1. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:30 | |
You've got to make your own toast. | 0:31:30 | 0:31:32 | |
It's around noon in our market today, so it's time to find out which dealer's | 0:31:34 | 0:31:38 | |
buttering up the buyers nicely, and which dealer is subsisting on crumbs. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:44 | |
Franksy has taken £285 so far | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
and needs to make just over £490 to break even. | 0:31:48 | 0:31:54 | |
The Put Your Money games master is refunding just under £19 as | 0:31:54 | 0:31:58 | |
one of his figurines is broken in transit through no fault of his own. | 0:31:58 | 0:32:02 | |
David is slightly behind, selling £179 of items | 0:32:02 | 0:32:06 | |
and must make just over £420 to break even. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:11 | |
In the biggest challenge of their dealing lives, | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
Mark and David have just 48 hours to buy and sell an entire stall worth of antiques. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:21 | |
Mark is marginally ahead in this fantastic face off | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
but time will tell which of our boys will be the better dealer. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:29 | |
Mark has managed to move another of his ceramic lovelies at a slight loss, but he seems happy enough. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:36 | |
Another one of the ladies has gone, that leaves me three. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
So, slowly, slowly... | 0:32:39 | 0:32:42 | |
Wasp, I'm catching monkeys. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:45 | |
-David's got some interest in the star of his show. -£220. -£210. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:51 | |
-You're killing me. -£210. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:52 | |
£215. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:54 | |
£210. | 0:32:54 | 0:32:56 | |
You're a dealer and I love you, well done. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
I can't believe what a rubbish profit, but it's been a delight meeting you. | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
It's more profit for dealing Dave's cash tin. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:06 | |
Wonderful, I've never been so excited about making under £20 in my whole life | 0:33:06 | 0:33:12 | |
but a relief, a real relief. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:15 | |
Still high from his last sale, he's asking Lady Luck to help him land another. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:19 | |
Go on, then. Do I call or do you call? | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
-You call. -£55 or £60. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
-Yeah. -OK, happy. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:27 | |
-Yeah. -Let's go for it. You call. | 0:33:27 | 0:33:29 | |
-Heads. -And it looks like she's heard his plea. -£60. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:32 | |
-Yeah. -Good man. Thank you very much. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:35 | |
Wunderbar! And you can have your 10p back, it's an unlucky one. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
That beautiful tea caddy has gone. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:41 | |
Wonderful. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:42 | |
Oh, he's not here. Oh, Mark, what a shame, you've had punters. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:48 | |
I've been selling, you're not here, where are you. | 0:33:48 | 0:33:51 | |
Mark's back in business and like any good dealer, he's spinning a negative as a positive. | 0:33:52 | 0:33:57 | |
It's about turn of the century, about 100 years old, and if you look at the top | 0:33:57 | 0:34:01 | |
I haven't even cleaned it. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
It might need a bit of a dust, but the £25 in Mark's back pocket is clean enough. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:10 | |
£25, go on take it away, give us your money. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
What a terrible man you are. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:14 | |
You've had a bargain there, you know that, don't you? | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
You've got the fattest wallet of anyone here. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
Well, I was right about one thing. | 0:34:23 | 0:34:26 | |
Big lumps of furniture don't sell too well on a Sunday with Joe public everywhere. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:33 | |
But a dealer's just come up to me and offered me £60 for this bench. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:36 | |
I bought it in a parcel. I reckoned it about £100 in the parcel so, I've actually took a loss. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:42 | |
But it takes a brave man to take a loss, but it's gone, it's sold. | 0:34:42 | 0:34:47 | |
Cash is in my pocket so, let's carry on selling. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:51 | |
Not good news, but the sale of these three framed military photographs cheer Mark up a little. | 0:34:55 | 0:35:01 | |
£45, that's £15 each. | 0:35:01 | 0:35:04 | |
-That's for nothing and I've turned down £20s today. -£45 is all right. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:08 | |
Deal. Good stuff. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
We're now a solid six hours into the sale and the market is experiencing something of a post lunch slump. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:19 | |
So, where are you then? How much have you got? | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
£410, I think. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:28 | |
£410, I've got about £445, I can't believe it, it's very close. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:33 | |
Five past two, just under two hours to go. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
What have you got, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, £7.5, £8 something. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:43 | |
OK this David's checked this buyers got available funds now what can he sell him. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:48 | |
How about vintage retro magazine rack. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
Whatever you've got there you can have that for, what do you say? | 0:35:52 | 0:35:55 | |
Are you on for it? | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
-I'll give you a fiver for it. -OK, for goodness sake, give me a fiver. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:01 | |
So, things are going all bargain basement for our dealing duo. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:08 | |
So, everything absolutely rock bottom. It's all got to go. | 0:36:08 | 0:36:11 | |
Devilish is busy weaving a deal for his novelty item. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:15 | |
I'd never seen one like it in my life and I genuinely didn't know what it was but it's a paper roller. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:22 | |
-But you could use it for tin foil in the kitchen. -If you say so, David. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:27 | |
He might not have a clue about what he's selling, but he can tell one end of a tenner from another. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
£30 it's a chancy thing. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
Solid, oak handle. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:35 | |
£30, go on. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:37 | |
Good man. Thank you very much. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:39 | |
Looks like Franksy has regained his previous selling form. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:44 | |
He's literally pounced on a passer-by and bagged himself £5 profit. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
I saw a bloke walking through here, he had a silver topped decanter I said, "Do you want to buy these, | 0:36:48 | 0:36:53 | |
"£100, no, £90 no, give me £60." He shook hands at £70. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:57 | |
And I'm watching David take losses so I think I need to catch up a bit. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:02 | |
You can say that again, Devilish Dave is losing money all over the shop. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:09 | |
Nearly £10 loss on the sale of his barometer. | 0:37:09 | 0:37:11 | |
£35 lovely. Thank you very much. I've made another loss! | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
Over £7 loss on the wooden calendar. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
There we go, I'm selling for less than cost yet again. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:21 | |
I am going to do anything to off load this gear. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:24 | |
So, I'm going to keep on going. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
And nearly £14 loss on his tray. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:30 | |
-What's the bid? -£45. -£45. I've lost money but you can have it. Well, done, thank you very much. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:35 | |
I wonder if I'll be able to pay the mortgage, don't think so. | 0:37:35 | 0:37:39 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:37:39 | 0:37:42 | |
we're on the home straight at today's sale and either dealer could take today's prize. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:47 | |
Mark is getting busy selling his porcelain ladies. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:51 | |
Can I have a sweet? what have we got | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
He gets £10 for this silver swathed figure. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:57 | |
Right, thank you, ladies. | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
And a free toffee. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:00 | |
£20 for the pair of Victorian conch figures. | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
All right here we go, £20 the lot, yes, or no? | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
-Yes. -Of course you will. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
And a further two figurines go for £25. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:14 | |
Devilish still has his two pet pooches on his stall, but not for long. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:22 | |
-I want to buy the dog. How much can you give me? £10. -£10, can you make it £12? | 0:38:22 | 0:38:27 | |
No, I have only £10. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
Give me the £10, thank you very much, and give me a kiss. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:32 | |
-Say bye to the other dog. -They've been together for 50 years. -Bye. -Bye, bye. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:38 | |
Well, he's broken even on that doggie deal. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |
Almost got my money back on one, just need to sell the other. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:44 | |
And now he's looking to shift the other. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
What kind of things are you looking for? Dog here a tenner. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:50 | |
-Go on. -Good man. Shake my hand. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:55 | |
Thank you very much. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:58 | |
Yes, David's the best in show. | 0:38:58 | 0:39:00 | |
Right, so that's now the two dogs done, £20. | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
That's actually a very good profit because I paid £10 for the two plus the commission, | 0:39:03 | 0:39:07 | |
so in percentage terms it's a great return. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
The sale is in its dying embers. | 0:39:10 | 0:39:12 | |
Mark's got a few items left to shift and David has just three items left. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:17 | |
Can he clear his stall? | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
Mark makes a last minute selling attempt. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:23 | |
Definitely British there. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
-Fiver the pair. -Deal. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:29 | |
I'll leave that there and go and get you a fiver. | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
You can take them with you, go on, I'll trust you. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:35 | |
Bingo, he's moved those pair of framed photos and this candy stripe vintage deck chair. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:40 | |
Little bits left, gone another fiver. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:43 | |
Just before the final whistle blows, a fellow dealer wanders over. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
I've got three things left and I can guarantee you'll make a profit on them. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:51 | |
David's moving in for the kill. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:53 | |
£8 for the two pictures. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
-And then the kitchen scales. -Some people are on the pitch. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
If I take the lot, how much. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
They think it's all over. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
-£17. -£15. -Go on then, give us a kiss. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:05 | |
-It is now! -Another trade sale. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
Yes, I love dealers. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
£15, I am out, sold out. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:13 | |
No more goods, thank you very much. Yes! | 0:40:13 | 0:40:16 | |
Franksy, eat your heart out. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
Hard work, don't want to do it again. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
Hat off to David, and may the best man win. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:28 | |
Both Mark Franks and David Harper were allowed to spend up to £1,000 | 0:40:31 | 0:40:35 | |
of their own money on the ultimate showdown. | 0:40:35 | 0:40:38 | |
Mark spent just over £750 on 36 items | 0:40:38 | 0:40:43 | |
plus just over £26 dressing his stall. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:47 | |
David, on the other hand, spent just under £600 including auction fees. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:52 | |
Both our experts have worked their socks off in today's buying and selling challenge, | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
with any profits made going to their chosen good causes. | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
It's now time for us to reveal just how well Mark and David have done. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:04 | |
I can't believe it, this is the last time Mark Franks. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
I thought it was mission impossible. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:11 | |
I don't know that they understood what I'd bought, really, they all seemed a little bit confused. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:16 | |
It wasn't the stall, Mark, was it? | 0:41:16 | 0:41:18 | |
I heard plenty of comments, none of which were complimentary. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
Mine were all positive. Shall we see how we've done? Three, two, one. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
What about that, you made a profit, I made a small loss. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:29 | |
A little profit and a little loss. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
So, it's victory for David Harper today but our experts have been battling against each other | 0:41:33 | 0:41:37 | |
to make the most profit over a week of challenges. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:40 | |
So, let's find out who is this week's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:46 | |
Three, two, one. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:48 | |
Not bad at all, a bit better than me. | 0:41:48 | 0:41:52 | |
Well, I got you Mark, however it has been a very enjoyable journey and experience. | 0:41:52 | 0:41:58 | |
A lot of hard work, well done, congratulations. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
-Good fun. -And as you've raised so much money you can get your hand in your own pocket, | 0:42:00 | 0:42:05 | |
for the first time ever, and buy me a drink. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
Drinks are on me. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:09 | |
So, it's an overall victory for Devilish David. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:13 | |
Despite Mark making a loss today both our experts have made good profits | 0:42:13 | 0:42:18 | |
and every penny they've made will go to their chosen charities. | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |
Just over £1,500 will be going to the Great North Air Ambulance who do an amazing job | 0:42:20 | 0:42:28 | |
of getting critically injured people to hospital in a very short space of time. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:33 | |
I want my money to go to the Scout Association. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:36 | |
The Scouts, in my opinion, give very good moral standings and experiences to the youth of today. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:43 | |
Well, after a week of no holds barred combat, | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
both our experts have put their money where their mouths are | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
and have proved they can make a profit from antiques where their own money is on the line. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:55 | |
