This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

0:00:020:00:04

which pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts against each other

0:00:040:00:08

in an all-out battle for profit.

0:00:080:00:10

And gives you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.

0:00:100:00:13

Thank you. Have a good day.

0:00:130:00:15

Coming up, our dealers give you the low-down

0:00:150:00:18

on getting the best from a car boot.

0:00:180:00:20

It's got its problems but with a bit of a clean-up,

0:00:200:00:24

and an eye for that. What's that going to cost? 50p?

0:00:240:00:27

John shows how closer inspection can reveal a gem.

0:00:270:00:31

All around here, we can see the individual chisel marks.

0:00:310:00:35

I think possibly 18th century or even earlier.

0:00:350:00:37

And how you need to be prepared to battle for the bargains dealer-style.

0:00:370:00:42

You can't do that! I had a verbal agreement.

0:00:420:00:45

Today's boot-sale bonanza

0:00:580:01:00

pitches two seasoned veterans of the antiques world against each other.

0:01:000:01:03

As John "the Hammer" Cameron,

0:01:030:01:06

takes on James "the Lionheart" Lewis,

0:01:060:01:09

to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.

0:01:090:01:13

The stakes in this competition couldn't be higher.

0:01:140:01:17

It's the unflappable South Coast Prince...

0:01:170:01:20

Look at that, yin and yang. Could be me and James, couldn't it?

0:01:200:01:24

Isn't it wonderful?

0:01:240:01:25

..versus the deal-doing Duke of Derbyshire.

0:01:250:01:28

I can't. I can't, I can't, I like it but I'm not mad enough.

0:01:280:01:32

Risking their reputations and their own hard-earned cash

0:01:320:01:36

in a battle that will test their knowledge and their contact books to the absolute limit.

0:01:360:01:40

-That's two put together.

-You got it.

0:01:400:01:44

Our duelling duo has up to £250 of their own money to spend.

0:01:440:01:48

Their mission, over a week of challenges, is to make the most profit,

0:01:480:01:51

all of which will be going to their chosen charities.

0:01:510:01:54

I'm off to see if I can spend my last £27.

0:01:540:01:57

Today's battleground is the Arundel car-boot sale in Sussex,

0:01:570:02:00

where thousands of professional dealers

0:02:000:02:03

and members of the public come to sell their wares.

0:02:030:02:07

In the battle for profit, there can be only one winner.

0:02:070:02:10

James Lewis and John Cameron,

0:02:100:02:13

it's time to put your money where your mouth is.

0:02:130:02:16

You're on my manor now, you know that?

0:02:160:02:18

I do, I do, but does that mean you've got an advantage or a disadvantage?

0:02:180:02:22

I don't think it's an advantage,

0:02:220:02:24

because a few people are going to recognise me

0:02:240:02:26

and may well decide to charge me a bit more

0:02:260:02:28

than they would the normal man in the street.

0:02:280:02:31

Yeah, I've got that feeling too.

0:02:310:02:33

They'll say, "That swine ripped me off last time."

0:02:330:02:35

-So have you got your money?

-I have, have you?

-£250?

-Yep.

0:02:360:02:40

-And what's your strategy?

-Buy it cheap, sell it high.

0:02:400:02:43

How about you?

0:02:430:02:44

I always try to buy with people in mind,

0:02:440:02:46

unless I spot something of super quality, missed by the dealer.

0:02:460:02:49

But that's few and far between these days. Good luck.

0:02:490:02:52

Good luck, you. Have fun!

0:02:520:02:54

So, in today's Premier League clash,

0:02:540:02:57

the Hammer has the home advantage and our top strikers

0:02:570:03:01

both have a clear strategy for tackling this epic challenge.

0:03:010:03:04

So I am going to really try to buy with people in mind.

0:03:040:03:08

That end user. Try and buy things I think I can sell with a profit.

0:03:080:03:13

I may well spot something I didn't intend to look out for,

0:03:130:03:16

or don't even know anybody that might buy it.

0:03:160:03:18

But if it's super quality and has been missed by the dealer,

0:03:180:03:21

then we're going to try and snap it up.

0:03:210:03:23

That is if James hasn't seen it first. I need to crack on.

0:03:230:03:26

John will be buying to order, keeping his eyes peeled

0:03:260:03:29

for the items he thinks will excite his legion of contacts.

0:03:290:03:33

James is going for the simple approach,

0:03:330:03:35

by relying on one of the first rules of trading.

0:03:350:03:38

My strategy of buying it cheap and selling it high...

0:03:380:03:43

..has to have one element for it to work.

0:03:450:03:48

That is, find something cheap to start with.

0:03:480:03:52

Indeed, Mr Lewis. And to achieve the victory he craves,

0:03:520:03:56

James will play it safe and stick to the items

0:03:560:03:58

he thinks will turn the most profit.

0:03:580:04:01

The race is on and James is off the blocks faster than lightning.

0:04:030:04:07

He's spotted an intricately carved walking cane.

0:04:070:04:10

But will our very own antiques thoroughbred

0:04:100:04:13

be able to close a deal?

0:04:130:04:14

-What could you do that for?

-80 is the best I can do.

-Is it?

0:04:140:04:18

-Just needs a lot of work on it.

-Yeah, he's lovely, though. Needs one eye.

0:04:200:04:25

70 quid is the real definite. I can't do it any less than that.

0:04:250:04:30

70 quid, deal. Thank you very much, I'll have that.

0:04:300:04:33

So, James instantly gets his nose ahead in today's race,

0:04:330:04:37

but there's still a long way to go to reach the winner's enclosure.

0:04:370:04:41

He spent £70 on the came and he knows he bought well.

0:04:410:04:45

You know, I'm really pleased with that.

0:04:450:04:48

It's not in the best of conditions but my contact, the stick man,

0:04:480:04:53

I think he'll love that.

0:04:530:04:55

It's got its problems,

0:04:550:04:56

but with a bit of a clean-up, can find somewhere an eye for that.

0:04:560:05:00

I haven't got one, but what's that going to cost? 50p? £1?

0:05:000:05:06

I think that's worth £150 of anyone's money.

0:05:060:05:09

Fingers crossed. Double money time.

0:05:090:05:12

Yes, the Lionheart is brimming with confidence.

0:05:130:05:16

Let's hope the going stays good for him,

0:05:160:05:19

because coming up on the inside like a bolt from the blue is the Hammer.

0:05:190:05:23

I've just bought my first lot of the day,

0:05:250:05:27

this reproduction two-bottle wine cooler.

0:05:270:05:29

Now, the dealer was really playing a hard game there. The price was £25.

0:05:290:05:34

He really didn't want to budge. I got him down to 22.

0:05:340:05:37

That was his best offer. Eventually I cracked it for £20.

0:05:370:05:40

Saved myself a fiver, so I didn't really have the heart

0:05:400:05:43

to bid him on this lovely tin of biscuit cutters.

0:05:430:05:46

These are fantastic.

0:05:460:05:48

I know a few people, a few chefs - they're all in there -

0:05:480:05:51

a whole series of concentric biscuit cutters.

0:05:510:05:54

Aren't they wonderful? I think I can make a profit on those. Wonderful.

0:05:540:05:58

The Hammer strikes, and it's a mighty blow.

0:05:580:06:01

For £25, he's picked up a reproduction Georgian wine cooler

0:06:010:06:05

and a set of biscuit cutters.

0:06:050:06:07

This race has all the makings of a mighty tussle.

0:06:070:06:11

Both these brainy boys want victory

0:06:110:06:13

and they'll stop at nothing to get it.

0:06:130:06:15

The Lionheart is roaring around this boot sale.

0:06:150:06:18

# Keep on running

0:06:190:06:21

# Keep on hiding

0:06:220:06:24

# One fine day, I'm gonna be...

0:06:260:06:28

He's pounding the aisles,

0:06:280:06:29

and he homes in on a green painted bronze statue.

0:06:290:06:33

Is 30 any good on that?

0:06:340:06:36

35, I think is probably the minimum.

0:06:370:06:40

35.

0:06:400:06:41

35 quid, you've got a deal. Thank you very much. Thank you.

0:06:410:06:45

Faster than lightning, he then scoops up

0:06:460:06:48

a Georgian wooden knife box for £12.

0:06:480:06:51

-What can you'd do it for?

-I'll do it for 12.

0:06:510:06:54

-That's the absolute death on it.

-All right, OK, thank you very much.

0:06:540:06:58

-And then a majolica tobacco pot for the tidy sum of just £4.

-Thank you.

0:06:580:07:04

The man is on fire.

0:07:050:07:07

Eagle-eyed James is picking out potential winners left, right and centre.

0:07:070:07:12

But he's not the only one.

0:07:120:07:13

The dealing powerhouse that is his opposition

0:07:130:07:16

has been bowled over by a find of his own.

0:07:160:07:19

-Sir, this nice carved bowl here, I don't want the toys.

-Right.

0:07:200:07:24

-What do you want for the bowl? £5.

-Best price?

-Yeah.

0:07:240:07:27

I mean, it's not a lot of money. There we are.

0:07:270:07:30

You take that while I get my money out.

0:07:300:07:33

-There we go.

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:07:350:07:38

Hope you have a good day. Make sure you've got your sunblock on.

0:07:380:07:41

I've just bought myself an antique carved bowl.

0:07:440:07:47

I really was drawn to this, because I love carving.

0:07:470:07:50

This has been carved out of one, solid piece.

0:07:500:07:52

Just take a look inside at all that evidence of hand workmanship.

0:07:520:07:56

All around here we can see the individual chisel marks,

0:07:560:07:59

where somebody has painstakingly chipped the whole bowl out.

0:07:590:08:02

I think it's a nice thing. Possibly 18th century or even earlier.

0:08:020:08:06

£5. I'm really excited about this.

0:08:060:08:09

I think I might be able to get £200 for this, to the right dealer.

0:08:090:08:12

But we'll have to see. Got myself my third lot of the day.

0:08:120:08:16

Behold, the mighty Hammer.

0:08:160:08:18

Could that £5 purchase really net him the incredible mark-up he's predicting?

0:08:180:08:22

Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure.

0:08:220:08:25

the Portsmouth Prince is here to give the Duke of Derbyshire

0:08:250:08:29

the fight of his life.

0:08:290:08:30

Excuse me? You're on my manor here, mate, d'you mind?

0:08:300:08:34

Boy trying to make a living.

0:08:340:08:37

That's where you live, all your bargains you keep finding.

0:08:370:08:40

-How much the one at the back?

-That one?

-Yeah.

-50 quid.

0:08:400:08:43

I'll give you that for it. Sold.

0:08:430:08:45

-I've just done it.

-You can't do that.

-I just did it!

0:08:450:08:48

Oooh, look at this, James and John both want the same chest of drawers.

0:08:490:08:53

55, done. Shaken. Shaken. Shaken!

0:08:530:08:57

You can't do that, I had a verbal agreement!

0:08:580:09:01

Talk about duelling dealers! Somebody call security!

0:09:010:09:04

-I've done it.

-I've got 60.

-It's shaken.

-I had a verbal agreement!

0:09:040:09:08

I had a verbal agreement with this lady. I did!

0:09:080:09:12

I said 50 quid, sold, I'll have it!

0:09:120:09:14

-So, what are we going to do here?

-I don't know!

0:09:170:09:19

Tell you what, let him have it for 60 quid.

0:09:190:09:22

-60 quid, it's yours.

-I bought it for 55!

0:09:220:09:25

55, let him have it.

0:09:250:09:27

Don't trust this man, ladies and gentlemen.

0:09:270:09:30

The big guy with the silk jacket on.

0:09:300:09:32

No, you see, you bought it. No, you bought it - don't back out now!

0:09:320:09:36

Ooh, that was quite the tussle.

0:09:360:09:39

After much bravado and flexing of muscles, the Lionheart wins

0:09:390:09:42

the Battle of the Chest, snatching it away from the Hammer for £55.

0:09:420:09:47

But the war still rages on and, after that argy-bargy,

0:09:490:09:53

John's hacking his way out of the rough

0:09:530:09:56

and teeing himself up for another purchase.

0:09:560:09:58

Excuse me? How much for the golf montage?

0:10:000:10:03

-£45?

-£45. 45... 30 quid for it?

0:10:030:10:07

-I would, yeah.

-You'd take 30 quid for it?

0:10:070:10:11

Well, the Hammer set out to buy with potential customers in mind,

0:10:110:10:15

and with this, he's aiming to score a hole-in-one.

0:10:150:10:18

Let's hope he doesn't end up under par.

0:10:180:10:21

I've just bought a little golf montage.

0:10:210:10:23

It's a modern thing but decorative -

0:10:230:10:25

gives you an insight into the development of golf clubs,

0:10:250:10:28

how they change from the early examples, and golf balls themselves.

0:10:280:10:31

I paid 30 quid for it.

0:10:310:10:32

I know somebody organising a charity golf day.

0:10:320:10:35

I'm hoping they'll want to buy this as one of their lots for the auction.

0:10:350:10:39

It's time to get myself to the 19th hole.

0:10:390:10:41

Yes, Mark Twain once said, "Golf is a good walk spoiled."

0:10:410:10:45

But nothing can spoil our walk through today's competition,

0:10:450:10:49

as we take a look at who's top of the leaderboard,

0:10:490:10:52

and who's stuck in the bunker.

0:10:520:10:54

Our dealing duo both started their day with £250 of their own money.

0:10:540:11:00

So far, the Hammer has made four deals and spent a total of £60,

0:11:000:11:05

leaving him with £190 in his kitty.

0:11:050:11:09

The Lionheart has five items that set him back a total of £176,

0:11:100:11:15

which means there's still £74 left for him to spend.

0:11:150:11:19

So, at the halfway point of today's boot-buying bonanza,

0:11:220:11:25

the Lionheart has one more purchase than his rival

0:11:250:11:28

and has spent a lot more cash.

0:11:280:11:30

And James shows no signs of slowing down.

0:11:300:11:33

He's quick to spot an 18th century wash stand.

0:11:330:11:36

18, it's a deal.

0:11:360:11:37

And he's not finished there.

0:11:370:11:40

The Lionheart also nabs an Art Deco vase for £15.

0:11:400:11:44

This was made around 1780, 1790.

0:11:440:11:47

It's made of mahogany and is a classic English corner wash stand.

0:11:470:11:51

A hole here for the bowl, and here for the soap,

0:11:510:11:55

but, on the same stand, was this.

0:11:550:11:58

You couldn't really get two more contrasting objects.

0:11:580:12:01

This was made 150 years later.

0:12:010:12:05

It's French and it's classic Art Deco.

0:12:050:12:07

We've got a white and purple marble base,

0:12:070:12:10

a conical and almost a bomb-shape in silver plate,

0:12:100:12:15

and these are rosewood mounts here,

0:12:150:12:17

so the three things combine to form a really stylish Art Deco vase.

0:12:170:12:23

And £18 paid for the wash stand,

0:12:230:12:26

£15 paid for the vase.

0:12:260:12:28

There should be at least double your money in both.

0:12:280:12:31

Like the profit predator that he is, James is sticking to his strategy

0:12:310:12:35

of shopping for what he knows at knock-down prices.

0:12:350:12:39

John set out to buy specifically for customers.

0:12:400:12:44

But, as the day goes on, it's proving to be not quite that simple.

0:12:440:12:48

This is an example of what I said earlier

0:12:480:12:50

about trying not to buy things I like.

0:12:500:12:52

I'm a big fan of coloured glass.

0:12:520:12:54

This is a nice hand-blown piece, lots of inclusions in it,

0:12:540:12:57

probably continental. And the lady's got £12 written on it as a price.

0:12:570:13:02

It's all about maximising profit, so I'll see if I can get it cheaper.

0:13:020:13:05

-I love it.

-The shape of it.

-It's nice.

0:13:070:13:09

-Is that your price on it? Is that the price today?

-Yeah.

0:13:090:13:13

£12? OK, well, what's your best price, though?

0:13:130:13:16

-Erm, eight, could be eight.

-I think we can do £8.

0:13:160:13:19

-Can we have a shake on that? Yeah? OK, £8. Got yourself a deal.

-Thanks.

0:13:190:13:24

Thank you very much. Put that there.

0:13:240:13:26

Calm and full of charm. John bags the rainbow glass vase for just £8.

0:13:260:13:32

So far, the Hammer has been spending little and often.

0:13:320:13:35

But he's spotted two old blue signs

0:13:350:13:37

that he thinks could have major profit potential.

0:13:370:13:40

Could I ask you about these?

0:13:400:13:42

Do you know anything about Strong and Co?

0:13:420:13:44

Not really. I thought it might be from sort of the old brewery.

0:13:440:13:49

A brewery! Strong and Co would be a good name for an ale, wouldn't it?

0:13:490:13:53

You would have a dedicated following with Strong and Co!

0:13:530:13:56

-Romsey's local to here, obviously. What are you asking for then?

-150.

0:13:560:14:01

-For both of them, I guess that is.

-That's the pair.

0:14:010:14:04

You can't have one without the other!

0:14:040:14:07

-150? What is the very best price you can do on these?

-For you, 120?

0:14:070:14:12

-120, that is your really best price?

-Yeah.

0:14:120:14:14

-OK. Can we do a deal on that?

-Yeah, sure.

-OK.

0:14:140:14:16

Wow! John's forked out almost half his entire budget on those signs,

0:14:160:14:20

despite getting the asking price down by 20%.

0:14:200:14:23

Our two mighty warriors are battling for the advantage

0:14:250:14:28

and wildlife lover James has spotted a piece that's calling out to him.

0:14:280:14:33

-What's that?

-I think it's bronze.

0:14:350:14:38

-How much?

-A fiver?

0:14:380:14:40

Yeah, nice one.

0:14:420:14:44

Look, five quid, that is one cheap bear.

0:14:440:14:48

He's probably made in Sweden, I should think.

0:14:480:14:52

He's cast in solid bronze.

0:14:520:14:54

He's typical of that Art Deco style bronze that were made

0:14:540:14:58

in the 1920s and 30s, but he's on a cheap little wooden base.

0:14:580:15:01

For £5, it's got to be worth 20 quid, I think. Got to be.

0:15:010:15:07

Once again, James is bang on strategy, buying cheap,

0:15:070:15:10

and there's no doubt he'll be aiming to sell high.

0:15:100:15:13

With his kitty dwindling and his items stacking up,

0:15:140:15:18

the Lionheart decides that now is the time

0:15:180:15:21

to take a closer look at that chest of drawers he fought so hard to buy.

0:15:210:15:24

Was the battle worth it, James?

0:15:240:15:26

Well, I've bought it now, this £55 chest of drawers.

0:15:270:15:32

Good things and bad things about it, really.

0:15:320:15:35

Good thing, original handles, the colour's good, it hasn't faded.

0:15:350:15:39

It's a little bit rocky but I think...

0:15:390:15:42

There we are, it's in the drawer, there.

0:15:430:15:45

So, that's all right, that's no problem.

0:15:450:15:48

The biggest problem is this, a great big split along the top.

0:15:480:15:53

I mean, really, it's seen better days but, £55,

0:15:530:15:56

it really isn't a lot of money.

0:15:560:15:58

Well, it might have a few more drawbacks than James spotted first time round,

0:15:580:16:03

but the Lionheart is adamant there's a profit in it.

0:16:030:16:07

So it seems the effort was well spent

0:16:070:16:09

to wrestle it from the clutches of his opponent,

0:16:090:16:12

who also has decided to take a sneaky peek at the piece he missed out on.

0:16:120:16:15

-Did he come back and get it?

-He did.

-Let me have a quick look.

0:16:160:16:20

I'm glad I put him up another fiver anyway.

0:16:200:16:23

This is the piece we fought over.

0:16:230:16:25

Now I can have a closer look at it, it's got a hardboard back.

0:16:250:16:29

I'll ask him when I see him, see how honest he is,

0:16:290:16:32

if he wants to tell me that that's what he found.

0:16:320:16:34

Well, what a surprise.

0:16:340:16:37

The infamous chest of drawers gets a positive spin from its new owner

0:16:370:16:40

but a hammering from the man who just missed out.

0:16:400:16:43

Time will tell which of our duelling dealers made the right call.

0:16:430:16:47

With cash still burning a hole in his pocket, John is back on the hunt.

0:16:480:16:53

It's like a mould, isn't it? And what would you put in there?

0:16:550:16:58

I don't know, chocolate, something like that.

0:16:580:17:01

A chocolate mould? That's fantastic!

0:17:010:17:03

-It's unusual, isn't it?

-That's nice.

0:17:030:17:06

I can't see me putting chocolate in there.

0:17:060:17:08

Melting up the kids Easter eggs - what would they think of that?

0:17:080:17:11

-What's it up for today?

-Well, I was asking 45.

0:17:110:17:16

45, that's a little bit much. Can you do any better? Can you do £30?

0:17:160:17:21

-35.

-£35?

-Make a fiver out of it.

0:17:230:17:27

-OK. Can we do a deal?

-Do a deal, yes.

0:17:270:17:29

That's yours.

0:17:290:17:30

Well, I certainly won't get run over walking out of here carrying that, will I?

0:17:300:17:34

It's a spend of £35 and a seventh item for John,

0:17:340:17:38

and if he doesn't sell the chocolate moulds,

0:17:380:17:41

the junior Hammers could be embarking on the longest Easter egg hunt in history.

0:17:410:17:46

The end of the day is rapidly approaching

0:17:460:17:49

and the stall holders are taking flight from the airfield,

0:17:490:17:52

but the Lionheart is still on the prowl.

0:17:520:17:55

-How much are they?

-£15.

0:17:550:17:58

-Would a tenner do?

-£10, we've got a deal.

-Brilliant.

0:17:580:18:01

Thank you very much, thank you.

0:18:010:18:04

That's great. That's another bit of local Derbyshire ceramics.

0:18:040:18:08

Found down here on the south coast.

0:18:080:18:10

Again, they're not marked, but look at the bases -

0:18:100:18:14

very biscuity coloured clay

0:18:140:18:16

and these are Lovatt's Langley Ware,

0:18:160:18:19

made in Langley Mill in Derbyshire.

0:18:190:18:21

Made around 1905 to 1915.

0:18:210:18:25

For a little pair like that, £10? They've got to be £35-£40.

0:18:250:18:29

I'm pleased with that.

0:18:290:18:32

So, the Lionheart pounces on another purchase,

0:18:320:18:35

backing Derbyshire potters in the hope it makes him some profit.

0:18:350:18:38

James is still spending but John has hammered the last of his kitty,

0:18:380:18:43

forking out £27 on his eighth item of the day.

0:18:430:18:46

Well, I managed to spend my last £27.

0:18:470:18:51

The gentleman wanted 35 for this. I told him 27 was all I had. He took it.

0:18:510:18:55

He didn't have to cart it home, and I've spent my whole £250.

0:18:550:19:00

Last time I saw Lewis, he had six quid left.

0:19:000:19:03

If he hasn't spent his six quid,

0:19:030:19:05

this is definitely going to ruffle the Lion's mane.

0:19:050:19:08

Well, with the experts' boot-sale blitz coming to an end

0:19:080:19:11

and the stall holders heading home in droves,

0:19:110:19:14

the Lionheart takes the chance to have a closer look at his final buy.

0:19:140:19:19

This was my last purchase of the day.

0:19:190:19:22

And I think it's probably the best one as well.

0:19:220:19:25

An ebony shaft,

0:19:250:19:26

it has a gold-coloured metal collar around the top.

0:19:260:19:30

It's just an interesting thing. It has a great feel to it.

0:19:300:19:34

And it's about 120, 130 years old.

0:19:340:19:37

And, you know, at £20, that isn't a lot of money.

0:19:370:19:40

There's got to be a profit in this. Has to be.

0:19:400:19:43

And with that last mighty roar from the Lionheart,

0:19:440:19:48

this boot sale is well and truly over.

0:19:480:19:51

It's time now to find out who spent what.

0:19:510:19:53

Both experts started out today with £250 of their own money to spend.

0:19:540:20:00

John "the Hammer" Cameron held nothing back

0:20:000:20:03

and spent the entire £250.

0:20:030:20:05

James "the Lionheart" Lewis wasn't far behind,

0:20:070:20:10

spending a cracking £244.

0:20:100:20:14

This boot-sale bonanza has been one big battle

0:20:140:20:17

but, before our boys hit the road,

0:20:170:20:20

there's time to have a quick spy of each other's wares.

0:20:200:20:24

-What's your favourite lot?

-Well, I ended up in the rough

0:20:240:20:27

when I bought these golf things. I never set out to buy those.

0:20:270:20:30

But the thing that I really like is my enamel sign.

0:20:300:20:33

Aren't they fantastic?

0:20:330:20:35

They're huge, but I've got two buyers in mind for those.

0:20:350:20:38

I don't know the company. I'm hoping it's a brewery.

0:20:380:20:40

-I spent 120 quid on it.

-Ooh, lot of money.

0:20:400:20:43

It is a lot of money but I was banking on a lot of profit.

0:20:430:20:47

-I've seen this chest of drawers before.

-Just, forget that.

0:20:470:20:50

THEY LAUGH

0:20:500:20:53

-Do you know what?

-Do you regret buying it?

0:20:530:20:56

A brand new panel on the back. Is it hardwood or something?

0:20:560:21:00

I have to confess, when I saw them and you hadn't collected it,

0:21:000:21:04

I snuck over and had a look and I said, "Oh! Look what's on the back!"

0:21:040:21:07

-It's just shocking.

-Isn't that sad?

0:21:070:21:10

How can it be so fantastic at the front and so poor at the back?

0:21:100:21:14

All I'm going to say is, put it up against a wall

0:21:140:21:17

-and it doesn't matter, does it?

-Sold as seen! Yeah, I'm sure!

0:21:170:21:20

The two things I really like are my sticks.

0:21:200:21:23

And if the stick buyer doesn't want one, maybe he'll want the other.

0:21:230:21:27

-Or maybe the two together.

-That's wonderfully carved.

0:21:270:21:32

I like this one, too.

0:21:320:21:34

Enough about these items, let's get them packed up and get home.

0:21:340:21:37

Let's do that.

0:21:370:21:39

James and John's aim will be to secure

0:21:390:21:41

as much profit as possible on the items they've bought,

0:21:410:21:44

to donate to their charities of choice.

0:21:440:21:46

As well as his pair of vintage brewery signs,

0:21:460:21:50

John will also be selling...

0:21:500:21:52

a rainbow-coloured glass vase,

0:21:520:21:55

a Georgian style wine cooler,

0:21:550:21:57

this set of 1930s metal biscuit cutters,

0:21:570:22:01

a Victorian wooden bowl,

0:22:010:22:04

a glass-cased reproduction vintage golf set,

0:22:040:22:07

this late Victorian wooden flower barrel,

0:22:070:22:10

and a chocolate mould.

0:22:100:22:12

And along with the Georgian mahogany chest of drawers,

0:22:120:22:15

and his antique walking sticks, James also has to sell

0:22:150:22:19

this majolica tobacco jar,

0:22:190:22:22

an Art Deco silver plate rocket vase,

0:22:220:22:25

a Georgian mahogany knife box,

0:22:250:22:27

this bronze statue,

0:22:270:22:30

an 18th century wash stand,

0:22:300:22:32

a pair of small bottle vases

0:22:320:22:34

and a 1920s bronze statue of a polar bear.

0:22:340:22:38

The Lionheart and the Hammer must now focus

0:22:420:22:44

all their guile and cunning on selling their items,

0:22:440:22:47

as they graduate to the second phase of this epic battle.

0:22:470:22:52

They'll be rifling through their contact books, hitting the phones

0:22:520:22:56

and bashing out e-mails,

0:22:560:22:58

all in the hope of setting up sales and making handsome profits.

0:22:580:23:02

But until they've shaken on it, and the money has changed hands,

0:23:020:23:05

no deal is truly sealed.

0:23:050:23:08

I'm coming up against a barrier here.

0:23:080:23:10

The Hammer purchased his items with specific buyers in mind

0:23:110:23:14

and, not wanting to waste any time, he's spoken to his local solicitors

0:23:140:23:18

about whether they might be interested in his framed golf set

0:23:180:23:21

for their next charity golf day.

0:23:210:23:23

Well, here it is. What do you think of it, Jenny?

0:23:230:23:26

It's what we call a golfing montage. Have a look.

0:23:260:23:29

So, who's put this together, then?

0:23:290:23:31

It's a reproduction thing.

0:23:310:23:33

It just basically charts the development of the game of golf.

0:23:330:23:37

In here, we have copies of the early balls,

0:23:370:23:40

right up until the kind of modern balls.

0:23:400:23:44

So these are reproduction ones, then?

0:23:440:23:46

Yes, these are reproduction.

0:23:460:23:47

And you've got these cards, with some nice visuals on them.

0:23:470:23:50

-St Andrew's.

-Do you think this might fit into one of your golf days?

0:23:500:23:54

-Yeah.

-The next one, we've got coming up, we have a charity auction.

0:23:540:23:58

-That's right, yeah.

-For a local children's charity.

0:23:580:24:01

I am hoping for, I think it's worth about £120, something like that.

0:24:020:24:06

There's a lot there for that, what do you think?

0:24:060:24:09

Having come back from Turkey, and learnt a bit of bartering,

0:24:090:24:12

I'd say about a tenner!

0:24:120:24:14

A tenner! The Hammer's going to have to up his game here

0:24:140:24:18

if he wants to seal a deal.

0:24:180:24:20

Seriously, I know you said a tenner, but forget Turkey.

0:24:200:24:23

-70.

-£70?

0:24:230:24:25

The deal's back on track.

0:24:250:24:26

100?

0:24:260:24:28

-No.

-Ooh.

0:24:280:24:29

No. 80?

0:24:290:24:30

I tell you what.

0:24:300:24:32

£90, and I owe you an auction, a charity auction.

0:24:320:24:35

What? You'll do the auction?

0:24:350:24:37

-I'll do the auction for you. £90 though.

-Done.

0:24:370:24:40

-Yeah?

-Pleasure doing business with you.

0:24:400:24:42

I have to say, it wasn't a pleasure doing business with you two!

0:24:420:24:46

I don't know what you mean!

0:24:460:24:48

Yes, that got the result.

0:24:480:24:49

The Hammer dangles the juicy carrot of his gavel-bashing services for free,

0:24:490:24:54

persuading his potential buyers to bite,

0:24:540:24:56

and earning himself a tasty £60 profit in the process.

0:24:560:25:01

I didn't get as much as I'd hoped,

0:25:010:25:02

but what did I expect from a firm of solicitors other than tough negotiating?

0:25:020:25:07

I paid £30 for it and just got £90.

0:25:070:25:09

That's 200% profit. I'm off the first tee.

0:25:090:25:12

But the Lionheart is not far behind.

0:25:130:25:16

He's on the prowl,

0:25:160:25:17

armed with the chest of drawers he fought so hard to wrestle

0:25:170:25:21

from the clutches of his opponent.

0:25:210:25:23

He's brought it to restorer Paul, to see if he can tempt him to buy it.

0:25:230:25:27

But, will that replacement hardboard back prove to be a sticking point?

0:25:270:25:30

What is that? Chippendale hardboard?

0:25:330:25:36

Erm...

0:25:370:25:39

I don't suppose for one moment the old back's on the other side, is it?

0:25:390:25:42

Could be.

0:25:420:25:44

Well, it says, "Royal Board Made In Sweden".

0:25:460:25:49

Does it?

0:25:490:25:51

That rare Swedish hardboard!

0:25:510:25:54

I'll be honest, I didn't see it.

0:25:540:25:56

-You bought it and didn't notice the back?

-Yeah.

0:25:560:25:59

Ooh, that's got to smart.

0:25:590:26:01

James must be hearing John's laughter echoing across the Dales.

0:26:010:26:05

Linings wise,

0:26:050:26:07

and as a piece of furniture to break up,

0:26:070:26:09

I would happily part with 110.

0:26:090:26:12

-So you're interested in it then?

-110.

0:26:140:26:16

If you've something else to show me or want to throw in,

0:26:160:26:20

then we can come to something else. But that as it stands, is 110.

0:26:200:26:24

There is something else. Don't go anywhere. Hang on.

0:26:240:26:27

Well, veteran restorer Paul doesn't look like he's budging.

0:26:270:26:30

But, just like his south coast nemesis,

0:26:300:26:32

James sees the chance for a bit of added incentivising.

0:26:320:26:36

How about that?

0:26:360:26:38

That has seen better days, James.

0:26:380:26:40

Yes!

0:26:400:26:41

-There's a bit missing. I don't suppose you have the lid?

-No.

0:26:410:26:45

No.

0:26:450:26:46

I daren't ask, but I'm going to.

0:26:460:26:48

-Do you like it?

-Actually, it's quite sweet.

0:26:480:26:51

-I like it.

-It is quite sweet.

0:26:510:26:52

I like that more than that.

0:26:520:26:54

How much would it cost to put a lid on this?

0:26:540:26:57

I would probably do it for you for about 30 or 40 quid.

0:26:570:27:00

I'll take 110 quid for the chest.

0:27:000:27:03

If you do a lid for me for that?

0:27:030:27:06

Yeah, all right. OK.

0:27:060:27:07

Deal.

0:27:070:27:08

-OK.

-Thank you.

0:27:080:27:09

-When do you want it?

-Tomorrow.

0:27:090:27:11

There is an answer to that,

0:27:110:27:14

but it's not going to happen right now.

0:27:140:27:17

Don't push your luck, James. But that bit of a smooth negotiating

0:27:170:27:20

nets our man a £55 profit on the chest of drawers,

0:27:200:27:23

-and he gets the restoration work on the knife box thrown in for free.

0:27:230:27:27

-Deal.

-All right.

0:27:270:27:30

If he's going to tame this lion,

0:27:300:27:31

John is going to have to raise his game.

0:27:310:27:35

But he's not sitting around fretting.

0:27:350:27:37

Oh, no. Our man's on the case in Portsmouth,

0:27:370:27:40

hoping to sail his way to another tidy profit.

0:27:400:27:43

Wow, this is much nicer than I was expecting.

0:27:430:27:46

I thought it would be lustre. This is groovy.

0:27:460:27:49

-Do you like it?

-Yeah.

0:27:490:27:50

I am so pleased, because my main concern

0:27:500:27:53

was, when you saw it, you were going to say, "I hate it."

0:27:530:27:56

Look. It's beautifully made. A nice polished base.

0:27:560:27:59

I always look at the bottom of glass,

0:27:590:28:01

because you can see the age if it's scratched.

0:28:010:28:04

And I love the air bubbles.

0:28:040:28:06

And I've got one, 1940s looking,

0:28:060:28:08

very similar.

0:28:080:28:10

It definitely is Murano. How much do you want for this?

0:28:100:28:13

I think this is worth £50 of anyone's money.

0:28:130:28:16

OK. 50? 50 is a bit high.

0:28:160:28:19

How do you see it?

0:28:190:28:20

I can't offer you 25 quid,

0:28:200:28:22

that's half what you want for it. That's not fair.

0:28:220:28:24

Would you offer me £40 for it?

0:28:240:28:26

Hm.

0:28:260:28:28

35?

0:28:280:28:30

£35?

0:28:300:28:31

I think it's worth it. I love it. It's a period piece.

0:28:310:28:34

William, the fact that you like it is a compliment.

0:28:340:28:38

His strategy of buying with specific people in mind

0:28:380:28:41

really is paying off,

0:28:410:28:43

as the Hammer bangs home a £27 profit on an £8 purchase.

0:28:430:28:47

The Lionheart is flying through the Derbyshire dales

0:28:470:28:51

like a man on a mission.

0:28:510:28:53

He's looking to raise the stakes with what he thinks could be his most profitable item.

0:28:530:28:58

I've turned down one very reasonable profit on this walking stick,

0:28:580:29:02

hoping for a better one.

0:29:020:29:03

I've come here to see Nigel Smith, who's been buying from me

0:29:030:29:06

for about ten years, and one thing you're about to see

0:29:060:29:10

is his home is his life, but also his passion.

0:29:100:29:12

It's Black Rod!

0:29:180:29:20

-Hi, James.

-Good to see you. How are you?

0:29:200:29:23

-Fine, thanks. Are you?

-Good.

0:29:230:29:25

This is the one. I'll tell you what I've had done to it.

0:29:250:29:28

See those little eyes? When I bought this, it had one eye,

0:29:280:29:32

a black and white eye, and I couldn't find a match,

0:29:320:29:35

so I took the black and white one out and put two beads in there

0:29:350:29:38

and they cost nothing.

0:29:380:29:39

But I think... It looks almost evil, actually, with the black eyes,

0:29:390:29:43

but I think he looks quite striking. Have a look.

0:29:430:29:46

I know, it's lovely. You know, you can imagine a farmer

0:29:460:29:49

strolling down his fields with that. No, that's great, actually.

0:29:490:29:53

Glad you like it.

0:29:530:29:55

So what's the damage then?

0:29:550:29:57

How about 240?

0:29:570:29:59

240. Well, I do like it. I haven't got a horse's head.

0:29:590:30:03

-So, yeah.

-Yeah?

0:30:050:30:07

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

0:30:070:30:09

What a result! The Lionheart strategy of buy low, sell high

0:30:090:30:13

is clearly every bit as successful as his opposition's,

0:30:130:30:17

as he transforms a £70 purchase into a whopping £170 profit.

0:30:170:30:23

-Does it give you a profit, or...

-It does give me a profit. It does.

0:30:230:30:27

And it's a fair one.

0:30:270:30:28

And James's lucrative love affair with walking sticks doesn't stop there,

0:30:280:30:32

as he also finds a buyer for his other walking stick,

0:30:320:30:35

doubling his money and making £20 profit.

0:30:350:30:38

The Lionheart's on a role with sales coming thick and fast.

0:30:390:30:43

He sells the majolica tobacco jar for a tidy £16 profit.

0:30:430:30:47

But his 18th century wash stand makes a disappointing loss of £8.

0:30:470:30:52

With the Lionheart on the rise, it's the Hammer's turn

0:30:550:30:57

to try to sell his most expensive items - the pair of blue pub signs.

0:30:570:31:02

Martin. How are you?

0:31:020:31:03

He's brought them along to show a mate, who also happens to be

0:31:030:31:07

a collector of advertising memorabilia.

0:31:070:31:09

Here you go. What I know about Strong and Co, since I've bought them,

0:31:100:31:15

they were obviously based in Romsey, started there in about 1860.

0:31:150:31:20

Quite a distinctive brand, bought by one of the bigger names in the end,

0:31:200:31:25

and I think they finally closed around the early 1980s.

0:31:250:31:28

-Shall we put the other one over there?

-Sure.

0:31:280:31:31

So, are you interested in them?

0:31:320:31:34

I am, John, but at the right price.

0:31:340:31:37

I really would like about 300 quid for them.

0:31:370:31:41

-300?

-Yeah.

0:31:410:31:43

300 is too much, John. Really. I'm thinking more two.

0:31:430:31:47

225?

0:31:480:31:50

Go on then. 225. 225.

0:31:500:31:52

That feels like a victory, Martin.

0:31:520:31:55

Kerching! That's a £105 profit for the Hammer,

0:31:550:31:58

and he heads home with a lighter load.

0:31:580:32:01

Both our experts have already banked some handsome profits.

0:32:020:32:05

Time now to see who's surging ahead and who needs to ramp up the race.

0:32:050:32:09

So far, John had sold £350 worth of car-boot booty,

0:32:110:32:16

netting a formidable £192 profit.

0:32:160:32:19

Rival James has managed to sell £420 worth of goods,

0:32:200:32:24

banking a profit of £253.

0:32:240:32:27

These two antiques heavyweights are locked in combat,

0:32:300:32:33

and with plenty of items still left to sell,

0:32:330:32:36

this battle could still go either way.

0:32:360:32:38

The Dealing Duke of Derbyshire

0:32:380:32:41

may have manoeuvred his way into the lead,

0:32:410:32:43

but he's not resting on his laurels.

0:32:430:32:45

He's taking the rocket vase he bought for £15

0:32:450:32:48

to a dealer contact who specialises in Art Deco pieces.

0:32:480:32:52

Well, Jay, that is the vase. That's the object in question.

0:32:520:32:57

I think it looks better than it does in its photograph. How about you?

0:32:570:33:00

I'm not sure. Let me look.

0:33:000:33:02

You think all the plate's still there?

0:33:030:33:06

Having not polished it, I'm not 100% sure, but it looks to be.

0:33:060:33:10

-It looks as though it's worn through to me.

-Does it?

0:33:100:33:13

The dealer doesn't appear to be bowled over, but the Lionheart's having none of it.

0:33:130:33:17

Here we go. Keep going. What do you think? What's it worth to you?

0:33:170:33:20

To me, and probably bearing in mind I'll probably keep it

0:33:210:33:25

for a bit, for myself, anyway.

0:33:250:33:27

I'll start you at 50 quid.

0:33:290:33:30

Do you know... I would stick it on my desk and put pencils in it for that.

0:33:310:33:36

Well, even done up and immaculate...

0:33:360:33:39

..I think £200, tops.

0:33:390:33:41

All right, so, if you're going to get £200 for it...

0:33:410:33:45

150, how about that?

0:33:450:33:48

See, we're still miles apart.

0:33:500:33:53

I'll go to £100.

0:33:540:33:55

120.

0:33:590:34:00

And that is just about as far as I'm budging. I think it's a good thing.

0:34:010:34:06

-£120 it is, then.

-You've got a deal. Well done.

0:34:060:34:08

-All right.

-And I think you are going to do very well with that.

0:34:080:34:12

It's a nice piece. It's a nice piece.

0:34:120:34:14

Now you say it's a nice piece! Now you own it.

0:34:140:34:17

After the deal, I can say, yeah, I don't think the plate's worn at all!

0:34:170:34:21

Honestly, the wily ways these dealers negotiate.

0:34:210:34:24

The Lionheart's refusal of Jay's low opening offer,

0:34:240:34:27

and his steely determination,

0:34:270:34:29

earn him a profit of £105. And he can't resist a bit of a gloat.

0:34:290:34:33

Do you want me to tell you what I paid for it?

0:34:340:34:37

-Go on, then.

-15.

0:34:370:34:39

I should have haggled harder.

0:34:420:34:43

-Go on, then. What are you going to charge for it?

-400.

0:34:430:34:46

Oh!

0:34:460:34:48

I knew you would. Oh, well done.

0:34:480:34:51

Oh, right back at you, Mr Lewis.

0:34:510:34:53

Could it be this time round you bought cheap

0:34:530:34:55

but you didn't sell high enough?

0:34:550:34:58

The Hammer is hoping that his love of food and drink

0:34:590:35:02

might lead him to feast on another tasty profit.

0:35:020:35:05

He's taking three of his items to his local pub.

0:35:050:35:08

-Hi, John.

-Long time no see.

-You all right?

0:35:090:35:11

-Yeah, good thank you. You?

-Good.

0:35:110:35:13

Darling, first of all, with these, what do you think of those?

0:35:130:35:18

-Biscuit cutters.

-Yes.

0:35:180:35:20

As you know, we make quite a few things in the pub ourselves.

0:35:200:35:26

-A full set as well, John.

-Yeah.

0:35:260:35:28

I'd certainly say they've got age. I would have put them in the 30s

0:35:280:35:32

-or something like that.

-Yeah.

-You like those?

0:35:320:35:34

Yeah, I do like those, John.

0:35:340:35:36

OK. That's the first item. Put that there.

0:35:360:35:39

Second one, this, I thought, was a bit of fun.

0:35:390:35:42

I had a bit of negotiating to do with that.

0:35:420:35:45

It's a chocolate mould. Have a look at that. Opens up like that.

0:35:450:35:50

It's a bit rusty, John, isn't it? Could do with a Brillo pad on it.

0:35:510:35:54

Can you do anything with it?

0:35:540:35:56

I think one of the girls in the kitchen should be able to

0:35:560:35:59

-bring that up to speed.

-I thought that was quite nice.

0:35:590:36:02

You can make some decorative Easter eggs.

0:36:020:36:04

Last but not least is this big item here.

0:36:040:36:08

It's this flower tub, which...

0:36:080:36:11

have a look at that.

0:36:110:36:13

What age do you reckon that is, John?

0:36:130:36:15

It's hand-made, you can see that. There's no ply in it as well.

0:36:150:36:18

I'd say it's late last century, or very early in the 20th century.

0:36:180:36:24

-Is it interior or exterior, do we reckon?

-Well, it's been waxed.

0:36:240:36:29

-I think you'd keep that on the inside.

-On the inside.

0:36:290:36:31

It obviously hasn't got its top but I think it would make a great stick stand.

0:36:310:36:36

It's got a nice rustic charm about it, yeah?

0:36:360:36:38

It would fit in the pub well, aged - like most of the customers.

0:36:380:36:42

I'm glad YOU said that!

0:36:420:36:45

Anyway, interested in the items?

0:36:450:36:48

-Yes, John. Especially these biscuit cutters.

-You like those?

0:36:480:36:51

All right, well, I want to sell the three items together.

0:36:510:36:55

I'm looking for about £160 for them.

0:36:550:36:58

I reckon... 160?

0:36:580:37:01

-Mm.

-What about if I gave you £130 for the lot?

0:37:010:37:05

£130, I want to do a bit better than that. 160...

0:37:050:37:10

Would you do 150?

0:37:100:37:12

-140.

-145.

0:37:120:37:15

142 and a half?

0:37:150:37:17

145, come on.

0:37:170:37:19

145, deal.

0:37:190:37:21

-Good man. Have you got the money?

-I've got the cash. 140 for cash?

0:37:210:37:25

145. I'll let you owe me a fiver.

0:37:250:37:27

-OK, I'll buy you a drink.

-145.

0:37:270:37:31

Three items sold for £145.

0:37:310:37:35

John doubles his money with the £78 profit.

0:37:350:37:39

And the Hammer doesn't stop there.

0:37:390:37:41

He sells his Victorian wooden bowl to a private buyer

0:37:410:37:44

and makes a whopping great profit of £160.

0:37:440:37:47

With time running out and four items left to sell,

0:37:470:37:52

the Lionheart decides to try and clear them all in one go.

0:37:520:37:55

It's a few minutes to go before the start of the auction.

0:37:550:37:58

I've brought for things along from the car boot sale.

0:37:580:38:01

Remember that mahogany box without a lid?

0:38:010:38:03

That's now here with a lid.

0:38:030:38:06

Also the polar bear on the wooden plinth, that's here.

0:38:060:38:09

The figure bronze, allegorical of summer holding the wheat sheaves, that's here,

0:38:090:38:14

and the Lovatt's Langley Ware vases.

0:38:140:38:16

Four lots, fingers crossed, here we go.

0:38:160:38:18

Lot 28...

0:38:180:38:20

First up, the patinated bronze polar bear, bought for £5.

0:38:200:38:24

25, am I bid 25?

0:38:240:38:26

Selling to the room at £25.

0:38:260:38:28

All finished and away then at £25.

0:38:280:38:31

-Sold.

-Well, below estimate.

0:38:310:38:35

But £25, it's a £20 profit.

0:38:350:38:37

Minus auction fees of course, Mr Lewis,

0:38:370:38:40

giving a final profit of nearly £12.

0:38:400:38:42

Now to the antique, this is a lovely piece.

0:38:420:38:45

What are we going to say, £100?

0:38:450:38:46

Next up is the allegorical bronze statue.

0:38:460:38:49

£60, it's time to go please, at 60. All done?

0:38:490:38:54

£60, well...

0:38:540:38:56

..it's gone.

0:38:580:38:59

Don't complain, it's still a profit of just over £10.

0:38:590:39:02

Followed by another, with the sale of the Lovatt's Langley Ware vases.

0:39:020:39:06

Away then at £27.

0:39:060:39:08

That's fine, paid 10. 27 - more than doubled my money. Pleased with that.

0:39:080:39:13

The first three items have all shown a profit

0:39:130:39:17

and now it's on to the final one, the George III mahogany knife box.

0:39:170:39:23

£65 and sold.

0:39:230:39:25

£65, that's a good result. I'm not complaining at that.

0:39:250:39:29

I paid 12, got the restoration as part of the deal with the chest,

0:39:290:39:32

so that's a handsome profit.

0:39:320:39:34

-I'm pleased with that.

-And so you should be, James.

0:39:340:39:37

After auction fees, the Lionheart makes a total profit

0:39:370:39:41

of over £67 on his four items.

0:39:410:39:43

With James all sold up, the pressure is on the Hammer.

0:39:460:39:49

He's going to need to make a serious profit on his final item,

0:39:490:39:53

the wine cooler he bought for £20,

0:39:530:39:55

if he wants to be in with a hope of winning today's battle.

0:39:550:39:59

Hoping that he might be toasting victory afterwards, the Hammer

0:39:590:40:03

has invited his friend Mac to his office to take a look.

0:40:030:40:06

You asked me to look out for a nice wine bucket or cellaret, Mac,

0:40:060:40:10

for you and Jane, and this is what I've come up with. What do you think?

0:40:100:40:14

Yeah. It's all right, it looks a bit Art Deco-ish to me.

0:40:140:40:19

I know how you like red, and Jane likes sparkly white

0:40:190:40:22

-so we've got one each there.

-That's right.

-Do you like it?

0:40:220:40:25

We'll find out shortly if John's purchase suits Mac's taste

0:40:250:40:30

but first it's time to tot up the totals

0:40:300:40:32

and reveal who has made the most cash.

0:40:320:40:36

The Lionheart and the Hammer both had £250 of their own money

0:40:360:40:40

to spend at the car boot sale.

0:40:400:40:42

John didn't leave a penny to spare, spending the full £250.

0:40:420:40:48

James wasn't far behind, parting with an impressive £244.

0:40:480:40:53

All the money that James and John have made today

0:40:550:40:57

will be going to the charities of their choice so, without further ado,

0:40:570:41:02

it's time to find out who is today's

0:41:020:41:04

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:040:41:07

-If it's not my old mucker, James Lewis.

-Mr Cameron, how are you?

0:41:070:41:11

So how did you get on at the car boot down my neck of the woods?

0:41:110:41:14

You tell me. I'm not letting out any secrets.

0:41:140:41:17

I didn't do too badly with things.

0:41:170:41:19

I did manage for once to spend as much money.

0:41:190:41:22

I spent all of my £250.

0:41:220:41:25

-Put me out of my misery.

-Come on then. After three.

0:41:250:41:28

1, 2, 3... Ohhhhh!

0:41:280:41:32

I've restored some credibility!

0:41:330:41:35

Well done, you!

0:41:350:41:38

I was about to ask you what the house prices in Derbyshire were like.

0:41:400:41:44

I thought, I can't go back to Portsmouth after this!

0:41:440:41:48

Well done. Come on, you owe me a beer.

0:41:480:41:51

So the Hammer takes the winner's podium by the slimmest of margins

0:41:510:41:55

and it all came down to the wine cooler.

0:41:550:41:58

Seriously, I can see you two on your deck chairs in the garden,

0:41:580:42:01

bottle of red, bottle of white, you'll be away.

0:42:010:42:04

-£50?

-£50.

-Yeah? Cheers, mate.

0:42:040:42:08

That netted John a £30 profit and is the icing on the cake for the Hammer

0:42:080:42:12

as he snatches victory from the Lionheart by almost £35.

0:42:120:42:17

Ooh! John Cameron beat me just, what a swine!

0:42:190:42:23

But, hey, win some, lose some.

0:42:230:42:25

-Well done him.

-To beat James at the car boot sale is a consolation.

0:42:250:42:31

I've won at least one of our challenges, and so to the next one.

0:42:310:42:36

Well, James might be second best today but he has the chance to gain revenge tomorrow

0:42:360:42:41

when he and John will be going into battle at an antiques market.

0:42:410:42:46

If I don't slow down and have a real good look,

0:42:470:42:49

I may miss something tucked away behind the Victorian pottery.

0:42:490:42:53

You may well be thinking why on earth has he bought this?

0:42:530:42:56

Well, that makes two of us.
