0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08which pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts against each other
0:00:08 > 0:00:10in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13And gives you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Thank you. Have a good day.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Coming up, our dealers give you the low-down
0:00:18 > 0:00:20on getting the best from a car boot.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24It's got its problems but with a bit of a clean-up,
0:00:24 > 0:00:27and an eye for that. What's that going to cost? 50p?
0:00:27 > 0:00:31John shows how closer inspection can reveal a gem.
0:00:31 > 0:00:35All around here, we can see the individual chisel marks.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37I think possibly 18th century or even earlier.
0:00:37 > 0:00:42And how you need to be prepared to battle for the bargains dealer-style.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45You can't do that! I had a verbal agreement.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Today's boot-sale bonanza
0:01:00 > 0:01:03pitches two seasoned veterans of the antiques world against each other.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06As John "the Hammer" Cameron,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09takes on James "the Lionheart" Lewis,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.
0:01:14 > 0:01:17The stakes in this competition couldn't be higher.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20It's the unflappable South Coast Prince...
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Look at that, yin and yang. Could be me and James, couldn't it?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25Isn't it wonderful?
0:01:25 > 0:01:28..versus the deal-doing Duke of Derbyshire.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32I can't. I can't, I can't, I like it but I'm not mad enough.
0:01:32 > 0:01:36Risking their reputations and their own hard-earned cash
0:01:36 > 0:01:40in a battle that will test their knowledge and their contact books to the absolute limit.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44- That's two put together.- You got it.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Our duelling duo has up to £250 of their own money to spend.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Their mission, over a week of challenges, is to make the most profit,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54all of which will be going to their chosen charities.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57I'm off to see if I can spend my last £27.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Today's battleground is the Arundel car-boot sale in Sussex,
0:02:00 > 0:02:03where thousands of professional dealers
0:02:03 > 0:02:07and members of the public come to sell their wares.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10In the battle for profit, there can be only one winner.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13James Lewis and John Cameron,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18You're on my manor now, you know that?
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I do, I do, but does that mean you've got an advantage or a disadvantage?
0:02:22 > 0:02:24I don't think it's an advantage,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26because a few people are going to recognise me
0:02:26 > 0:02:28and may well decide to charge me a bit more
0:02:28 > 0:02:31than they would the normal man in the street.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Yeah, I've got that feeling too.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35They'll say, "That swine ripped me off last time."
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- So have you got your money? - I have, have you?- £250?- Yep.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- And what's your strategy? - Buy it cheap, sell it high.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44How about you?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46I always try to buy with people in mind,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49unless I spot something of super quality, missed by the dealer.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52But that's few and far between these days. Good luck.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Good luck, you. Have fun!
0:02:54 > 0:02:57So, in today's Premier League clash,
0:02:57 > 0:03:01the Hammer has the home advantage and our top strikers
0:03:01 > 0:03:04both have a clear strategy for tackling this epic challenge.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08So I am going to really try to buy with people in mind.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13That end user. Try and buy things I think I can sell with a profit.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I may well spot something I didn't intend to look out for,
0:03:16 > 0:03:18or don't even know anybody that might buy it.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21But if it's super quality and has been missed by the dealer,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23then we're going to try and snap it up.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26That is if James hasn't seen it first. I need to crack on.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29John will be buying to order, keeping his eyes peeled
0:03:29 > 0:03:33for the items he thinks will excite his legion of contacts.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35James is going for the simple approach,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38by relying on one of the first rules of trading.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43My strategy of buying it cheap and selling it high...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48..has to have one element for it to work.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52That is, find something cheap to start with.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Indeed, Mr Lewis. And to achieve the victory he craves,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58James will play it safe and stick to the items
0:03:58 > 0:04:01he thinks will turn the most profit.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07The race is on and James is off the blocks faster than lightning.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10He's spotted an intricately carved walking cane.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13But will our very own antiques thoroughbred
0:04:13 > 0:04:14be able to close a deal?
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- What could you do that for? - 80 is the best I can do.- Is it?
0:04:20 > 0:04:25- Just needs a lot of work on it.- Yeah, he's lovely, though. Needs one eye.
0:04:25 > 0:04:3070 quid is the real definite. I can't do it any less than that.
0:04:30 > 0:04:3370 quid, deal. Thank you very much, I'll have that.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37So, James instantly gets his nose ahead in today's race,
0:04:37 > 0:04:41but there's still a long way to go to reach the winner's enclosure.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45He spent £70 on the came and he knows he bought well.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48You know, I'm really pleased with that.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53It's not in the best of conditions but my contact, the stick man,
0:04:53 > 0:04:55I think he'll love that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56It's got its problems,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00but with a bit of a clean-up, can find somewhere an eye for that.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06I haven't got one, but what's that going to cost? 50p? £1?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09I think that's worth £150 of anyone's money.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Fingers crossed. Double money time.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16Yes, the Lionheart is brimming with confidence.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Let's hope the going stays good for him,
0:05:19 > 0:05:23because coming up on the inside like a bolt from the blue is the Hammer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27I've just bought my first lot of the day,
0:05:27 > 0:05:29this reproduction two-bottle wine cooler.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Now, the dealer was really playing a hard game there. The price was £25.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37He really didn't want to budge. I got him down to 22.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40That was his best offer. Eventually I cracked it for £20.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Saved myself a fiver, so I didn't really have the heart
0:05:43 > 0:05:46to bid him on this lovely tin of biscuit cutters.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48These are fantastic.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51I know a few people, a few chefs - they're all in there -
0:05:51 > 0:05:54a whole series of concentric biscuit cutters.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Aren't they wonderful? I think I can make a profit on those. Wonderful.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01The Hammer strikes, and it's a mighty blow.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05For £25, he's picked up a reproduction Georgian wine cooler
0:06:05 > 0:06:07and a set of biscuit cutters.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11This race has all the makings of a mighty tussle.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13Both these brainy boys want victory
0:06:13 > 0:06:15and they'll stop at nothing to get it.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18The Lionheart is roaring around this boot sale.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21# Keep on running
0:06:22 > 0:06:24# Keep on hiding
0:06:26 > 0:06:28# One fine day, I'm gonna be...
0:06:28 > 0:06:29He's pounding the aisles,
0:06:29 > 0:06:33and he homes in on a green painted bronze statue.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Is 30 any good on that?
0:06:37 > 0:06:4035, I think is probably the minimum.
0:06:40 > 0:06:4135.
0:06:41 > 0:06:4535 quid, you've got a deal. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Faster than lightning, he then scoops up
0:06:48 > 0:06:51a Georgian wooden knife box for £12.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- What can you'd do it for? - I'll do it for 12.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58- That's the absolute death on it. - All right, OK, thank you very much.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04- And then a majolica tobacco pot for the tidy sum of just £4.- Thank you.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07The man is on fire.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12Eagle-eyed James is picking out potential winners left, right and centre.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13But he's not the only one.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16The dealing powerhouse that is his opposition
0:07:16 > 0:07:19has been bowled over by a find of his own.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- Sir, this nice carved bowl here, I don't want the toys.- Right.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- What do you want for the bowl? £5.- Best price?- Yeah.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30I mean, it's not a lot of money. There we are.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33You take that while I get my money out.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- There we go.- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Hope you have a good day. Make sure you've got your sunblock on.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I've just bought myself an antique carved bowl.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I really was drawn to this, because I love carving.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52This has been carved out of one, solid piece.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Just take a look inside at all that evidence of hand workmanship.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59All around here we can see the individual chisel marks,
0:07:59 > 0:08:02where somebody has painstakingly chipped the whole bowl out.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06I think it's a nice thing. Possibly 18th century or even earlier.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09£5. I'm really excited about this.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12I think I might be able to get £200 for this, to the right dealer.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16But we'll have to see. Got myself my third lot of the day.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Behold, the mighty Hammer.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22Could that £5 purchase really net him the incredible mark-up he's predicting?
0:08:22 > 0:08:25Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29the Portsmouth Prince is here to give the Duke of Derbyshire
0:08:29 > 0:08:30the fight of his life.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Excuse me? You're on my manor here, mate, d'you mind?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Boy trying to make a living.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40That's where you live, all your bargains you keep finding.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- How much the one at the back? - That one?- Yeah.- 50 quid.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I'll give you that for it. Sold.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- I've just done it. - You can't do that.- I just did it!
0:08:49 > 0:08:53Oooh, look at this, James and John both want the same chest of drawers.
0:08:53 > 0:08:5755, done. Shaken. Shaken. Shaken!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01You can't do that, I had a verbal agreement!
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Talk about duelling dealers! Somebody call security!
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- I've done it.- I've got 60.- It's shaken.- I had a verbal agreement!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12I had a verbal agreement with this lady. I did!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I said 50 quid, sold, I'll have it!
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- So, what are we going to do here? - I don't know!
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Tell you what, let him have it for 60 quid.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- 60 quid, it's yours. - I bought it for 55!
0:09:25 > 0:09:2755, let him have it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Don't trust this man, ladies and gentlemen.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32The big guy with the silk jacket on.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36No, you see, you bought it. No, you bought it - don't back out now!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Ooh, that was quite the tussle.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42After much bravado and flexing of muscles, the Lionheart wins
0:09:42 > 0:09:47the Battle of the Chest, snatching it away from the Hammer for £55.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53But the war still rages on and, after that argy-bargy,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56John's hacking his way out of the rough
0:09:56 > 0:09:58and teeing himself up for another purchase.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Excuse me? How much for the golf montage?
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- £45?- £45. 45... 30 quid for it?
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- I would, yeah.- You'd take 30 quid for it?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well, the Hammer set out to buy with potential customers in mind,
0:10:15 > 0:10:18and with this, he's aiming to score a hole-in-one.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Let's hope he doesn't end up under par.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23I've just bought a little golf montage.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's a modern thing but decorative -
0:10:25 > 0:10:28gives you an insight into the development of golf clubs,
0:10:28 > 0:10:31how they change from the early examples, and golf balls themselves.
0:10:31 > 0:10:32I paid 30 quid for it.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35I know somebody organising a charity golf day.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I'm hoping they'll want to buy this as one of their lots for the auction.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41It's time to get myself to the 19th hole.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Yes, Mark Twain once said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."
0:10:45 > 0:10:49But nothing can spoil our walk through today's competition,
0:10:49 > 0:10:52as we take a look at who's top of the leaderboard,
0:10:52 > 0:10:54and who's stuck in the bunker.
0:10:54 > 0:11:00Our dealing duo both started their day with £250 of their own money.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05So far, the Hammer has made four deals and spent a total of £60,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09leaving him with £190 in his kitty.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15The Lionheart has five items that set him back a total of £176,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19which means there's still £74 left for him to spend.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25So, at the halfway point of today's boot-buying bonanza,
0:11:25 > 0:11:28the Lionheart has one more purchase than his rival
0:11:28 > 0:11:30and has spent a lot more cash.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33And James shows no signs of slowing down.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He's quick to spot an 18th century wash stand.
0:11:36 > 0:11:3718, it's a deal.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40And he's not finished there.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44The Lionheart also nabs an Art Deco vase for £15.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47This was made around 1780, 1790.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51It's made of mahogany and is a classic English corner wash stand.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55A hole here for the bowl, and here for the soap,
0:11:55 > 0:11:58but, on the same stand, was this.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01You couldn't really get two more contrasting objects.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05This was made 150 years later.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It's French and it's classic Art Deco.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10We've got a white and purple marble base,
0:12:10 > 0:12:15a conical and almost a bomb-shape in silver plate,
0:12:15 > 0:12:17and these are rosewood mounts here,
0:12:17 > 0:12:23so the three things combine to form a really stylish Art Deco vase.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26And £18 paid for the wash stand,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28£15 paid for the vase.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31There should be at least double your money in both.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Like the profit predator that he is, James is sticking to his strategy
0:12:35 > 0:12:39of shopping for what he knows at knock-down prices.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44John set out to buy specifically for customers.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48But, as the day goes on, it's proving to be not quite that simple.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50This is an example of what I said earlier
0:12:50 > 0:12:52about trying not to buy things I like.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54I'm a big fan of coloured glass.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57This is a nice hand-blown piece, lots of inclusions in it,
0:12:57 > 0:13:02probably continental. And the lady's got £12 written on it as a price.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05It's all about maximising profit, so I'll see if I can get it cheaper.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09- I love it.- The shape of it. - It's nice.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13- Is that your price on it? Is that the price today?- Yeah.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16£12? OK, well, what's your best price, though?
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Erm, eight, could be eight. - I think we can do £8.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24- Can we have a shake on that? Yeah? OK, £8. Got yourself a deal.- Thanks.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Thank you very much. Put that there.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32Calm and full of charm. John bags the rainbow glass vase for just £8.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35So far, the Hammer has been spending little and often.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37But he's spotted two old blue signs
0:13:37 > 0:13:40that he thinks could have major profit potential.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Could I ask you about these?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Do you know anything about Strong and Co?
0:13:44 > 0:13:49Not really. I thought it might be from sort of the old brewery.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53A brewery! Strong and Co would be a good name for an ale, wouldn't it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:56You would have a dedicated following with Strong and Co!
0:13:56 > 0:14:01- Romsey's local to here, obviously. What are you asking for then?- 150.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- For both of them, I guess that is. - That's the pair.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07You can't have one without the other!
0:14:07 > 0:14:12- 150? What is the very best price you can do on these?- For you, 120?
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- 120, that is your really best price? - Yeah.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- OK. Can we do a deal on that? - Yeah, sure.- OK.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Wow! John's forked out almost half his entire budget on those signs,
0:14:20 > 0:14:23despite getting the asking price down by 20%.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Our two mighty warriors are battling for the advantage
0:14:28 > 0:14:33and wildlife lover James has spotted a piece that's calling out to him.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- What's that?- I think it's bronze.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- How much?- A fiver?
0:14:42 > 0:14:44Yeah, nice one.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48Look, five quid, that is one cheap bear.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52He's probably made in Sweden, I should think.
0:14:52 > 0:14:54He's cast in solid bronze.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58He's typical of that Art Deco style bronze that were made
0:14:58 > 0:15:01in the 1920s and 30s, but he's on a cheap little wooden base.
0:15:01 > 0:15:07For £5, it's got to be worth 20 quid, I think. Got to be.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Once again, James is bang on strategy, buying cheap,
0:15:10 > 0:15:13and there's no doubt he'll be aiming to sell high.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18With his kitty dwindling and his items stacking up,
0:15:18 > 0:15:21the Lionheart decides that now is the time
0:15:21 > 0:15:24to take a closer look at that chest of drawers he fought so hard to buy.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26Was the battle worth it, James?
0:15:27 > 0:15:32Well, I've bought it now, this £55 chest of drawers.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Good things and bad things about it, really.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Good thing, original handles, the colour's good, it hasn't faded.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42It's a little bit rocky but I think...
0:15:43 > 0:15:45There we are, it's in the drawer, there.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48So, that's all right, that's no problem.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53The biggest problem is this, a great big split along the top.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I mean, really, it's seen better days but, £55,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58it really isn't a lot of money.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Well, it might have a few more drawbacks than James spotted first time round,
0:16:03 > 0:16:07but the Lionheart is adamant there's a profit in it.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09So it seems the effort was well spent
0:16:09 > 0:16:12to wrestle it from the clutches of his opponent,
0:16:12 > 0:16:15who also has decided to take a sneaky peek at the piece he missed out on.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- Did he come back and get it? - He did.- Let me have a quick look.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I'm glad I put him up another fiver anyway.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25This is the piece we fought over.
0:16:25 > 0:16:29Now I can have a closer look at it, it's got a hardboard back.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32I'll ask him when I see him, see how honest he is,
0:16:32 > 0:16:34if he wants to tell me that that's what he found.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Well, what a surprise.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40The infamous chest of drawers gets a positive spin from its new owner
0:16:40 > 0:16:43but a hammering from the man who just missed out.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Time will tell which of our duelling dealers made the right call.
0:16:48 > 0:16:53With cash still burning a hole in his pocket, John is back on the hunt.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58It's like a mould, isn't it? And what would you put in there?
0:16:58 > 0:17:01I don't know, chocolate, something like that.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03A chocolate mould? That's fantastic!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06- It's unusual, isn't it? - That's nice.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08I can't see me putting chocolate in there.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Melting up the kids Easter eggs - what would they think of that?
0:17:11 > 0:17:16- What's it up for today? - Well, I was asking 45.
0:17:16 > 0:17:2145, that's a little bit much. Can you do any better? Can you do £30?
0:17:23 > 0:17:27- 35.- £35?- Make a fiver out of it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- OK. Can we do a deal? - Do a deal, yes.
0:17:29 > 0:17:30That's yours.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Well, I certainly won't get run over walking out of here carrying that, will I?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38It's a spend of £35 and a seventh item for John,
0:17:38 > 0:17:41and if he doesn't sell the chocolate moulds,
0:17:41 > 0:17:46the junior Hammers could be embarking on the longest Easter egg hunt in history.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49The end of the day is rapidly approaching
0:17:49 > 0:17:52and the stall holders are taking flight from the airfield,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55but the Lionheart is still on the prowl.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- How much are they?- £15.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Would a tenner do? - £10, we've got a deal.- Brilliant.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Thank you very much, thank you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08That's great. That's another bit of local Derbyshire ceramics.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Found down here on the south coast.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14Again, they're not marked, but look at the bases -
0:18:14 > 0:18:16very biscuity coloured clay
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and these are Lovatt's Langley Ware,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21made in Langley Mill in Derbyshire.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25Made around 1905 to 1915.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29For a little pair like that, £10? They've got to be £35-£40.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32I'm pleased with that.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35So, the Lionheart pounces on another purchase,
0:18:35 > 0:18:38backing Derbyshire potters in the hope it makes him some profit.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43James is still spending but John has hammered the last of his kitty,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46forking out £27 on his eighth item of the day.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Well, I managed to spend my last £27.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55The gentleman wanted 35 for this. I told him 27 was all I had. He took it.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00He didn't have to cart it home, and I've spent my whole £250.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03Last time I saw Lewis, he had six quid left.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05If he hasn't spent his six quid,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08this is definitely going to ruffle the Lion's mane.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11Well, with the experts' boot-sale blitz coming to an end
0:19:11 > 0:19:14and the stall holders heading home in droves,
0:19:14 > 0:19:19the Lionheart takes the chance to have a closer look at his final buy.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22This was my last purchase of the day.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25And I think it's probably the best one as well.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26An ebony shaft,
0:19:26 > 0:19:30it has a gold-coloured metal collar around the top.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34It's just an interesting thing. It has a great feel to it.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37And it's about 120, 130 years old.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40And, you know, at £20, that isn't a lot of money.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43There's got to be a profit in this. Has to be.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48And with that last mighty roar from the Lionheart,
0:19:48 > 0:19:51this boot sale is well and truly over.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It's time now to find out who spent what.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00Both experts started out today with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03John "the Hammer" Cameron held nothing back
0:20:03 > 0:20:05and spent the entire £250.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10James "the Lionheart" Lewis wasn't far behind,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14spending a cracking £244.
0:20:14 > 0:20:17This boot-sale bonanza has been one big battle
0:20:17 > 0:20:20but, before our boys hit the road,
0:20:20 > 0:20:24there's time to have a quick spy of each other's wares.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- What's your favourite lot? - Well, I ended up in the rough
0:20:27 > 0:20:30when I bought these golf things. I never set out to buy those.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33But the thing that I really like is my enamel sign.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Aren't they fantastic?
0:20:35 > 0:20:38They're huge, but I've got two buyers in mind for those.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I don't know the company. I'm hoping it's a brewery.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- I spent 120 quid on it. - Ooh, lot of money.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47It is a lot of money but I was banking on a lot of profit.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- I've seen this chest of drawers before.- Just, forget that.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53THEY LAUGH
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Do you know what? - Do you regret buying it?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00A brand new panel on the back. Is it hardwood or something?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I have to confess, when I saw them and you hadn't collected it,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07I snuck over and had a look and I said, "Oh! Look what's on the back!"
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- It's just shocking.- Isn't that sad?
0:21:10 > 0:21:14How can it be so fantastic at the front and so poor at the back?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17All I'm going to say is, put it up against a wall
0:21:17 > 0:21:20- and it doesn't matter, does it? - Sold as seen! Yeah, I'm sure!
0:21:20 > 0:21:23The two things I really like are my sticks.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27And if the stick buyer doesn't want one, maybe he'll want the other.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32- Or maybe the two together. - That's wonderfully carved.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34I like this one, too.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Enough about these items, let's get them packed up and get home.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39Let's do that.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41James and John's aim will be to secure
0:21:41 > 0:21:44as much profit as possible on the items they've bought,
0:21:44 > 0:21:46to donate to their charities of choice.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50As well as his pair of vintage brewery signs,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52John will also be selling...
0:21:52 > 0:21:55a rainbow-coloured glass vase,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57a Georgian style wine cooler,
0:21:57 > 0:22:01this set of 1930s metal biscuit cutters,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04a Victorian wooden bowl,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07a glass-cased reproduction vintage golf set,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10this late Victorian wooden flower barrel,
0:22:10 > 0:22:12and a chocolate mould.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15And along with the Georgian mahogany chest of drawers,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19and his antique walking sticks, James also has to sell
0:22:19 > 0:22:22this majolica tobacco jar,
0:22:22 > 0:22:25an Art Deco silver plate rocket vase,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27a Georgian mahogany knife box,
0:22:27 > 0:22:30this bronze statue,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32an 18th century wash stand,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34a pair of small bottle vases
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and a 1920s bronze statue of a polar bear.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44The Lionheart and the Hammer must now focus
0:22:44 > 0:22:47all their guile and cunning on selling their items,
0:22:47 > 0:22:52as they graduate to the second phase of this epic battle.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56They'll be rifling through their contact books, hitting the phones
0:22:56 > 0:22:58and bashing out e-mails,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02all in the hope of setting up sales and making handsome profits.
0:23:02 > 0:23:05But until they've shaken on it, and the money has changed hands,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I'm coming up against a barrier here.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14The Hammer purchased his items with specific buyers in mind
0:23:14 > 0:23:18and, not wanting to waste any time, he's spoken to his local solicitors
0:23:18 > 0:23:21about whether they might be interested in his framed golf set
0:23:21 > 0:23:23for their next charity golf day.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Well, here it is. What do you think of it, Jenny?
0:23:26 > 0:23:29It's what we call a golfing montage. Have a look.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31So, who's put this together, then?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33It's a reproduction thing.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37It just basically charts the development of the game of golf.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40In here, we have copies of the early balls,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44right up until the kind of modern balls.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46So these are reproduction ones, then?
0:23:46 > 0:23:47Yes, these are reproduction.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50And you've got these cards, with some nice visuals on them.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- St Andrew's.- Do you think this might fit into one of your golf days?
0:23:54 > 0:23:58- Yeah.- The next one, we've got coming up, we have a charity auction.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- That's right, yeah. - For a local children's charity.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06I am hoping for, I think it's worth about £120, something like that.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09There's a lot there for that, what do you think?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12Having come back from Turkey, and learnt a bit of bartering,
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I'd say about a tenner!
0:24:14 > 0:24:18A tenner! The Hammer's going to have to up his game here
0:24:18 > 0:24:20if he wants to seal a deal.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Seriously, I know you said a tenner, but forget Turkey.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25- 70.- £70?
0:24:25 > 0:24:26The deal's back on track.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28100?
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- No.- Ooh.
0:24:29 > 0:24:30No. 80?
0:24:30 > 0:24:32I tell you what.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35£90, and I owe you an auction, a charity auction.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37What? You'll do the auction?
0:24:37 > 0:24:40- I'll do the auction for you. £90 though.- Done.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42- Yeah? - Pleasure doing business with you.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46I have to say, it wasn't a pleasure doing business with you two!
0:24:46 > 0:24:48I don't know what you mean!
0:24:48 > 0:24:49Yes, that got the result.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54The Hammer dangles the juicy carrot of his gavel-bashing services for free,
0:24:54 > 0:24:56persuading his potential buyers to bite,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01and earning himself a tasty £60 profit in the process.
0:25:01 > 0:25:02I didn't get as much as I'd hoped,
0:25:02 > 0:25:07but what did I expect from a firm of solicitors other than tough negotiating?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09I paid £30 for it and just got £90.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12That's 200% profit. I'm off the first tee.
0:25:13 > 0:25:16But the Lionheart is not far behind.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17He's on the prowl,
0:25:17 > 0:25:21armed with the chest of drawers he fought so hard to wrestle
0:25:21 > 0:25:23from the clutches of his opponent.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27He's brought it to restorer Paul, to see if he can tempt him to buy it.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30But, will that replacement hardboard back prove to be a sticking point?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36What is that? Chippendale hardboard?
0:25:37 > 0:25:39Erm...
0:25:39 > 0:25:42I don't suppose for one moment the old back's on the other side, is it?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Could be.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Well, it says, "Royal Board Made In Sweden".
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Does it?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54That rare Swedish hardboard!
0:25:54 > 0:25:56I'll be honest, I didn't see it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- You bought it and didn't notice the back?- Yeah.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Ooh, that's got to smart.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05James must be hearing John's laughter echoing across the Dales.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Linings wise,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09and as a piece of furniture to break up,
0:26:09 > 0:26:12I would happily part with 110.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- So you're interested in it then? - 110.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20If you've something else to show me or want to throw in,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24then we can come to something else. But that as it stands, is 110.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27There is something else. Don't go anywhere. Hang on.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Well, veteran restorer Paul doesn't look like he's budging.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32But, just like his south coast nemesis,
0:26:32 > 0:26:36James sees the chance for a bit of added incentivising.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38How about that?
0:26:38 > 0:26:40That has seen better days, James.
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Yes!
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- There's a bit missing. I don't suppose you have the lid?- No.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46No.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48I daren't ask, but I'm going to.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51- Do you like it? - Actually, it's quite sweet.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52- I like it.- It is quite sweet.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54I like that more than that.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57How much would it cost to put a lid on this?
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I would probably do it for you for about 30 or 40 quid.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I'll take 110 quid for the chest.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06If you do a lid for me for that?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Yeah, all right. OK.
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Deal.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09- OK.- Thank you.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- When do you want it?- Tomorrow.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14There is an answer to that,
0:27:14 > 0:27:17but it's not going to happen right now.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Don't push your luck, James. But that bit of a smooth negotiating
0:27:20 > 0:27:23nets our man a £55 profit on the chest of drawers,
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- and he gets the restoration work on the knife box thrown in for free.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30- Deal.- All right.
0:27:30 > 0:27:31If he's going to tame this lion,
0:27:31 > 0:27:35John is going to have to raise his game.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37But he's not sitting around fretting.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Oh, no. Our man's on the case in Portsmouth,
0:27:40 > 0:27:43hoping to sail his way to another tidy profit.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Wow, this is much nicer than I was expecting.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I thought it would be lustre. This is groovy.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50- Do you like it?- Yeah.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53I am so pleased, because my main concern
0:27:53 > 0:27:56was, when you saw it, you were going to say, "I hate it."
0:27:56 > 0:27:59Look. It's beautifully made. A nice polished base.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I always look at the bottom of glass,
0:28:01 > 0:28:04because you can see the age if it's scratched.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06And I love the air bubbles.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08And I've got one, 1940s looking,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10very similar.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13It definitely is Murano. How much do you want for this?
0:28:13 > 0:28:16I think this is worth £50 of anyone's money.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19OK. 50? 50 is a bit high.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20How do you see it?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22I can't offer you 25 quid,
0:28:22 > 0:28:24that's half what you want for it. That's not fair.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Would you offer me £40 for it?
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Hm.
0:28:28 > 0:28:3035?
0:28:30 > 0:28:31£35?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34I think it's worth it. I love it. It's a period piece.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38William, the fact that you like it is a compliment.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41His strategy of buying with specific people in mind
0:28:41 > 0:28:43really is paying off,
0:28:43 > 0:28:47as the Hammer bangs home a £27 profit on an £8 purchase.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51The Lionheart is flying through the Derbyshire dales
0:28:51 > 0:28:53like a man on a mission.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58He's looking to raise the stakes with what he thinks could be his most profitable item.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02I've turned down one very reasonable profit on this walking stick,
0:29:02 > 0:29:03hoping for a better one.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06I've come here to see Nigel Smith, who's been buying from me
0:29:06 > 0:29:10for about ten years, and one thing you're about to see
0:29:10 > 0:29:12is his home is his life, but also his passion.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20It's Black Rod!
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Hi, James.- Good to see you. How are you?
0:29:23 > 0:29:25- Fine, thanks. Are you?- Good.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28This is the one. I'll tell you what I've had done to it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32See those little eyes? When I bought this, it had one eye,
0:29:32 > 0:29:35a black and white eye, and I couldn't find a match,
0:29:35 > 0:29:38so I took the black and white one out and put two beads in there
0:29:38 > 0:29:39and they cost nothing.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43But I think... It looks almost evil, actually, with the black eyes,
0:29:43 > 0:29:46but I think he looks quite striking. Have a look.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49I know, it's lovely. You know, you can imagine a farmer
0:29:49 > 0:29:53strolling down his fields with that. No, that's great, actually.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55Glad you like it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57So what's the damage then?
0:29:57 > 0:29:59How about 240?
0:29:59 > 0:30:03240. Well, I do like it. I haven't got a horse's head.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- So, yeah.- Yeah?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Yeah.- Brilliant.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13What a result! The Lionheart strategy of buy low, sell high
0:30:13 > 0:30:17is clearly every bit as successful as his opposition's,
0:30:17 > 0:30:23as he transforms a £70 purchase into a whopping £170 profit.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Does it give you a profit, or... - It does give me a profit. It does.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28And it's a fair one.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32And James's lucrative love affair with walking sticks doesn't stop there,
0:30:32 > 0:30:35as he also finds a buyer for his other walking stick,
0:30:35 > 0:30:38doubling his money and making £20 profit.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43The Lionheart's on a role with sales coming thick and fast.
0:30:43 > 0:30:47He sells the majolica tobacco jar for a tidy £16 profit.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52But his 18th century wash stand makes a disappointing loss of £8.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57With the Lionheart on the rise, it's the Hammer's turn
0:30:57 > 0:31:02to try to sell his most expensive items - the pair of blue pub signs.
0:31:02 > 0:31:03Martin. How are you?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07He's brought them along to show a mate, who also happens to be
0:31:07 > 0:31:09a collector of advertising memorabilia.
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Here you go. What I know about Strong and Co, since I've bought them,
0:31:15 > 0:31:20they were obviously based in Romsey, started there in about 1860.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25Quite a distinctive brand, bought by one of the bigger names in the end,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28and I think they finally closed around the early 1980s.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31- Shall we put the other one over there?- Sure.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34So, are you interested in them?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37I am, John, but at the right price.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I really would like about 300 quid for them.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- 300?- Yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47300 is too much, John. Really. I'm thinking more two.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50225?
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Go on then. 225. 225.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55That feels like a victory, Martin.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Kerching! That's a £105 profit for the Hammer,
0:31:58 > 0:32:01and he heads home with a lighter load.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Both our experts have already banked some handsome profits.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09Time now to see who's surging ahead and who needs to ramp up the race.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16So far, John had sold £350 worth of car-boot booty,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19netting a formidable £192 profit.
0:32:20 > 0:32:24Rival James has managed to sell £420 worth of goods,
0:32:24 > 0:32:27banking a profit of £253.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33These two antiques heavyweights are locked in combat,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36and with plenty of items still left to sell,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38this battle could still go either way.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41The Dealing Duke of Derbyshire
0:32:41 > 0:32:43may have manoeuvred his way into the lead,
0:32:43 > 0:32:45but he's not resting on his laurels.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48He's taking the rocket vase he bought for £15
0:32:48 > 0:32:52to a dealer contact who specialises in Art Deco pieces.
0:32:52 > 0:32:57Well, Jay, that is the vase. That's the object in question.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00I think it looks better than it does in its photograph. How about you?
0:33:00 > 0:33:02I'm not sure. Let me look.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06You think all the plate's still there?
0:33:06 > 0:33:10Having not polished it, I'm not 100% sure, but it looks to be.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- It looks as though it's worn through to me.- Does it?
0:33:13 > 0:33:17The dealer doesn't appear to be bowled over, but the Lionheart's having none of it.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Here we go. Keep going. What do you think? What's it worth to you?
0:33:21 > 0:33:25To me, and probably bearing in mind I'll probably keep it
0:33:25 > 0:33:27for a bit, for myself, anyway.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30I'll start you at 50 quid.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36Do you know... I would stick it on my desk and put pencils in it for that.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Well, even done up and immaculate...
0:33:39 > 0:33:41..I think £200, tops.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45All right, so, if you're going to get £200 for it...
0:33:45 > 0:33:48150, how about that?
0:33:50 > 0:33:53See, we're still miles apart.
0:33:54 > 0:33:55I'll go to £100.
0:33:59 > 0:34:00120.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06And that is just about as far as I'm budging. I think it's a good thing.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08- £120 it is, then.- You've got a deal. Well done.
0:34:08 > 0:34:12- All right.- And I think you are going to do very well with that.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's a nice piece. It's a nice piece.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17Now you say it's a nice piece! Now you own it.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21After the deal, I can say, yeah, I don't think the plate's worn at all!
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Honestly, the wily ways these dealers negotiate.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27The Lionheart's refusal of Jay's low opening offer,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29and his steely determination,
0:34:29 > 0:34:33earn him a profit of £105. And he can't resist a bit of a gloat.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Do you want me to tell you what I paid for it?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- Go on, then.- 15.
0:34:42 > 0:34:43I should have haggled harder.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Go on, then. What are you going to charge for it?- 400.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Oh!
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I knew you would. Oh, well done.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Oh, right back at you, Mr Lewis.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Could it be this time round you bought cheap
0:34:55 > 0:34:58but you didn't sell high enough?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02The Hammer is hoping that his love of food and drink
0:35:02 > 0:35:05might lead him to feast on another tasty profit.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08He's taking three of his items to his local pub.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11- Hi, John.- Long time no see. - You all right?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13- Yeah, good thank you. You?- Good.
0:35:13 > 0:35:18Darling, first of all, with these, what do you think of those?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- Biscuit cutters.- Yes.
0:35:20 > 0:35:26As you know, we make quite a few things in the pub ourselves.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28- A full set as well, John.- Yeah.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32I'd certainly say they've got age. I would have put them in the 30s
0:35:32 > 0:35:34- or something like that.- Yeah. - You like those?
0:35:34 > 0:35:36Yeah, I do like those, John.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39OK. That's the first item. Put that there.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Second one, this, I thought, was a bit of fun.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45I had a bit of negotiating to do with that.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50It's a chocolate mould. Have a look at that. Opens up like that.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54It's a bit rusty, John, isn't it? Could do with a Brillo pad on it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Can you do anything with it?
0:35:56 > 0:35:59I think one of the girls in the kitchen should be able to
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- bring that up to speed. - I thought that was quite nice.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04You can make some decorative Easter eggs.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08Last but not least is this big item here.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11It's this flower tub, which...
0:36:11 > 0:36:13have a look at that.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15What age do you reckon that is, John?
0:36:15 > 0:36:18It's hand-made, you can see that. There's no ply in it as well.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24I'd say it's late last century, or very early in the 20th century.
0:36:24 > 0:36:29- Is it interior or exterior, do we reckon?- Well, it's been waxed.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- I think you'd keep that on the inside.- On the inside.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36It obviously hasn't got its top but I think it would make a great stick stand.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38It's got a nice rustic charm about it, yeah?
0:36:38 > 0:36:42It would fit in the pub well, aged - like most of the customers.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I'm glad YOU said that!
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Anyway, interested in the items?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51- Yes, John. Especially these biscuit cutters.- You like those?
0:36:51 > 0:36:55All right, well, I want to sell the three items together.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58I'm looking for about £160 for them.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I reckon... 160?
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Mm.- What about if I gave you £130 for the lot?
0:37:05 > 0:37:10£130, I want to do a bit better than that. 160...
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Would you do 150?
0:37:12 > 0:37:15- 140.- 145.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17142 and a half?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19145, come on.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21145, deal.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Good man. Have you got the money? - I've got the cash. 140 for cash?
0:37:25 > 0:37:27145. I'll let you owe me a fiver.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- OK, I'll buy you a drink.- 145.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35Three items sold for £145.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39John doubles his money with the £78 profit.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And the Hammer doesn't stop there.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44He sells his Victorian wooden bowl to a private buyer
0:37:44 > 0:37:47and makes a whopping great profit of £160.
0:37:47 > 0:37:52With time running out and four items left to sell,
0:37:52 > 0:37:55the Lionheart decides to try and clear them all in one go.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58It's a few minutes to go before the start of the auction.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01I've brought for things along from the car boot sale.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Remember that mahogany box without a lid?
0:38:03 > 0:38:06That's now here with a lid.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Also the polar bear on the wooden plinth, that's here.
0:38:09 > 0:38:14The figure bronze, allegorical of summer holding the wheat sheaves, that's here,
0:38:14 > 0:38:16and the Lovatt's Langley Ware vases.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Four lots, fingers crossed, here we go.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Lot 28...
0:38:20 > 0:38:24First up, the patinated bronze polar bear, bought for £5.
0:38:24 > 0:38:2625, am I bid 25?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Selling to the room at £25.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31All finished and away then at £25.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Sold.- Well, below estimate.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37But £25, it's a £20 profit.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Minus auction fees of course, Mr Lewis,
0:38:40 > 0:38:42giving a final profit of nearly £12.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Now to the antique, this is a lovely piece.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46What are we going to say, £100?
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Next up is the allegorical bronze statue.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54£60, it's time to go please, at 60. All done?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56£60, well...
0:38:58 > 0:38:59..it's gone.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Don't complain, it's still a profit of just over £10.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Followed by another, with the sale of the Lovatt's Langley Ware vases.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Away then at £27.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13That's fine, paid 10. 27 - more than doubled my money. Pleased with that.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17The first three items have all shown a profit
0:39:17 > 0:39:23and now it's on to the final one, the George III mahogany knife box.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25£65 and sold.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29£65, that's a good result. I'm not complaining at that.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32I paid 12, got the restoration as part of the deal with the chest,
0:39:32 > 0:39:34so that's a handsome profit.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- I'm pleased with that. - And so you should be, James.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41After auction fees, the Lionheart makes a total profit
0:39:41 > 0:39:43of over £67 on his four items.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49With James all sold up, the pressure is on the Hammer.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53He's going to need to make a serious profit on his final item,
0:39:53 > 0:39:55the wine cooler he bought for £20,
0:39:55 > 0:39:59if he wants to be in with a hope of winning today's battle.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Hoping that he might be toasting victory afterwards, the Hammer
0:40:03 > 0:40:06has invited his friend Mac to his office to take a look.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10You asked me to look out for a nice wine bucket or cellaret, Mac,
0:40:10 > 0:40:14for you and Jane, and this is what I've come up with. What do you think?
0:40:14 > 0:40:19Yeah. It's all right, it looks a bit Art Deco-ish to me.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22I know how you like red, and Jane likes sparkly white
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- so we've got one each there. - That's right.- Do you like it?
0:40:25 > 0:40:30We'll find out shortly if John's purchase suits Mac's taste
0:40:30 > 0:40:32but first it's time to tot up the totals
0:40:32 > 0:40:36and reveal who has made the most cash.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40The Lionheart and the Hammer both had £250 of their own money
0:40:40 > 0:40:42to spend at the car boot sale.
0:40:42 > 0:40:48John didn't leave a penny to spare, spending the full £250.
0:40:48 > 0:40:53James wasn't far behind, parting with an impressive £244.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57All the money that James and John have made today
0:40:57 > 0:41:02will be going to the charities of their choice so, without further ado,
0:41:02 > 0:41:04it's time to find out who is today's
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11- If it's not my old mucker, James Lewis.- Mr Cameron, how are you?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14So how did you get on at the car boot down my neck of the woods?
0:41:14 > 0:41:17You tell me. I'm not letting out any secrets.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19I didn't do too badly with things.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22I did manage for once to spend as much money.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25I spent all of my £250.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28- Put me out of my misery. - Come on then. After three.
0:41:28 > 0:41:321, 2, 3... Ohhhhh!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35I've restored some credibility!
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Well done, you!
0:41:40 > 0:41:44I was about to ask you what the house prices in Derbyshire were like.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I thought, I can't go back to Portsmouth after this!
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Well done. Come on, you owe me a beer.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55So the Hammer takes the winner's podium by the slimmest of margins
0:41:55 > 0:41:58and it all came down to the wine cooler.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01Seriously, I can see you two on your deck chairs in the garden,
0:42:01 > 0:42:04bottle of red, bottle of white, you'll be away.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- £50?- £50.- Yeah? Cheers, mate.
0:42:08 > 0:42:12That netted John a £30 profit and is the icing on the cake for the Hammer
0:42:12 > 0:42:17as he snatches victory from the Lionheart by almost £35.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23Ooh! John Cameron beat me just, what a swine!
0:42:23 > 0:42:25But, hey, win some, lose some.
0:42:25 > 0:42:31- Well done him.- To beat James at the car boot sale is a consolation.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36I've won at least one of our challenges, and so to the next one.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41Well, James might be second best today but he has the chance to gain revenge tomorrow
0:42:41 > 0:42:46when he and John will be going into battle at an antiques market.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49If I don't slow down and have a real good look,
0:42:49 > 0:42:53I may miss something tucked away behind the Victorian pottery.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56You may well be thinking why on earth has he bought this?
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Well, that makes two of us.
