0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:04 > 0:00:09the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts against each other in an all-out battle
0:00:09 > 0:00:15for profit, and gives you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Coming up, our dealers show you that effective reconnaissance
0:00:18 > 0:00:21- is not all about speed. - If I don't slow down,
0:00:21 > 0:00:24I may well miss something that's tucked away behind that Victorian pottery.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28How to follow your heart when choosing which antiques to buy.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30I like it. I could live with this.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34And when selling your wares, it's as well to pick your buyers carefully.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39They're hideous, tasteless, I think they're tacky.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Today it's The Lionheart against The Hammer,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58as blue-blooded charmer James Lewis
0:00:58 > 0:01:01takes on man of the people John Cameron
0:01:01 > 0:01:07to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If I can't make a profit out of 150 quid,
0:01:09 > 0:01:12I think I'd better hang up my gavel.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's a culture clash of epic proportions.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19The proud Prince of Portsmouth versus the Lord of the Derbyshire Vales.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21If you love it, buy it,
0:01:21 > 0:01:24but check it really carefully before you part with your money.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29Risking their reputations and their own hard earned-cash in a battle that
0:01:29 > 0:01:34will test their knowledge and their contact books to the absolute limit.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Wow, those portraits are gorgeous.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42Our duelling auctioneers have got up to £750 of their own money to spend.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Their mission is to make the most profit over a week of challenges,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49all of which will be going to their chosen charities.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Today's arena for battle is the
0:01:52 > 0:01:56International Antique & Collectors Fair in Ardingly.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Held six times a year, this two-day fair sees up to
0:01:59 > 0:02:011,700 stalls, selling everything from
0:02:01 > 0:02:06fine furniture and ceramics to glassware and textiles.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09In the battle for profit there can be only one winner.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13James Lewis and John Cameron, it's time to
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19It's a lovely day to be browsing for antiques.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- Beautiful, isn't it? - So, here we are at Ardingly.
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Hundreds of dealers are all working very hard to separate you
0:02:25 > 0:02:28from your hard-earned cash. Speaking of which, have you brought it?
0:02:28 > 0:02:32I have, all £750 of it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35Here we are, snap.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37So, your strategy for today, what are we doing?
0:02:37 > 0:02:41You know, I'm not going to tell you. I'm going to play my cards
0:02:41 > 0:02:43rather close to my chest today.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Oh, same as last time, then?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Yeah. How about you?- You meanie!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- I'm not going to tell you either, so, well, good luck!- Thanks!
0:02:50 > 0:02:54Oh, our duelling duo are a bit cagey as they circle each other
0:02:54 > 0:02:56like seasoned prizefighters.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58But while they might not be willing to reveal a single
0:02:58 > 0:03:04titbit of intelligence to each other, they've both come armed with clear strategies.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07If you're a lover of antiques, or just somebody who likes to hunt
0:03:07 > 0:03:10for a bargain, an antiques fair is the perfect place.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14And here at Ardingly is one of the biggest antiques fairs in Europe.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18It attracts vendors and sellers from, literally, all over Europe.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21So, hopefully, my strategy today is to find something a little bit
0:03:21 > 0:03:26continental, a little bit different and something really good value.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30So, as he prowls this market like a lion through the savannah,
0:03:30 > 0:03:34James will be hunting down items from the continent which will have
0:03:34 > 0:03:36maximum appeal to his buyers here in the UK.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Surprise, surprise, his opposition is taking a very different approach.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44The problem with having a strategy when you come into somewhere like
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Ardingly is that it can all go out of the window
0:03:46 > 0:03:50once you get here because there is absolutely everything here.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Every type of decorative art, fine art, you'll find it all here.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57There are stalls packed with really good quality
0:03:57 > 0:04:01reproduction items as well, which may well remind you of someone's
0:04:01 > 0:04:02quirky habits that you know.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05They're always good to earn a few pounds with those,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08but I'm trying to avoid them and trying to stay focused on what I'm here to do,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12that's to buy good things that I can sell and make a profit.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So, The Hammer will be landing on those items which are priced low
0:04:15 > 0:04:20and which he knows he can sell high to his select list of industry contacts.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Both these mighty warriors are
0:04:23 > 0:04:28ready to rumble, so it's seconds out, round one, and it's The Lionheart who
0:04:28 > 0:04:32lands the first punch, picking up a decorated antique box for £35.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36OK, first deal of the day done.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Look at that, isn't that a super little box?
0:04:39 > 0:04:40It's likely to be Japanese.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44This sort of style with the two colours, the copper and the brass,
0:04:44 > 0:04:49is very much in the Magi Japanese period style, but for £35,
0:04:49 > 0:04:52that's not expensive. I reckon there's at least £60, £70 there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55So, bargain!
0:04:55 > 0:05:00Well, that's a mighty first blow from James, but his opponent is made of
0:05:00 > 0:05:06tough stuff and he's spotted a funky coffee table priced at £45.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10- What is it, '50s? - '60s.- '60s?
0:05:10 > 0:05:11Yeah.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15When you look underneath, they didn't do, like, a quality build.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- If you notice underneath, like, the chipboard?- Yeah.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21And then they would have bought those legs in
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and then fitted them on there.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27But all they've done is cut that bit out and put it at the back.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Are you sure I can't tempt you for 40 quid for that?
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Go on, then.- Yeah?- 40 quid, done.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Good man. I don't know why I've bought this, but I just like it.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39I've been walking around for half an hour, it caught my eye.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43There we are, the first item of the day. Hope I don't regret it.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46I do have somebody in mind, but if he doesn't like it,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing with this.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- I'm giving it away.- You are.
0:05:50 > 0:05:5340. Well, let's hope I don't have to, eh?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'm sure you'll make a profit on that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- Thanks.- Thank you very much.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00So, John is sticking to his strategy
0:06:00 > 0:06:03of picking up items with specific buyers in mind,
0:06:03 > 0:06:08but this bout has only just begun and he's warily circling the ring.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11The problem is, with so many stalls and so much to see,
0:06:11 > 0:06:15there's a temptation to rush round, especially when you look at tables
0:06:15 > 0:06:17and they're full of Victorian bric-a-brac.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19But there's where some people may make a mistake.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22If I don't slow down and have a good look, I may well miss
0:06:22 > 0:06:26something that's tucked away behind that Victorian pottery.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, John is waiting for the right
0:06:28 > 0:06:30moment to strike, while James is focused
0:06:30 > 0:06:36on landing a series of early body blows, hunting down pieces to bulk up his booty bag.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40That's interesting because that is
0:06:40 > 0:06:42a really lovely quality miniature.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47The idea was, if you were a lady of some standing in the 19th century
0:06:47 > 0:06:50and you wanted to remember your loved one, there
0:06:50 > 0:06:54was no such thing as photography, you would hire a miniature painter.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56The asking price was 110.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00I think if that was at a really good quality specialist antiques dealer
0:07:00 > 0:07:03stand at one of the top fairs, they'd be asking probably
0:07:03 > 0:07:10300, 350 for that, so hoping, hoping there might be £100 profit in it. We'll see.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13That's a mighty purchase from The Lionheart,
0:07:13 > 0:07:18and he's quick to follow it up with two Georgian picture frames, a felt chest,
0:07:18 > 0:07:25a nutcracker and a Victorian table bowl, all purchased for a total of £40.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27What a start! James has
0:07:27 > 0:07:32racked up seven items and spent £175 of his own money in next to no time.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35He's raining down blows on his
0:07:35 > 0:07:40opposition, but the mighty Hammer isn't anywhere near the ropes yet.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44I've got myself another purchase here. It's four limited-edition
0:07:44 > 0:07:48pottery character jugs of, no less, the Fab Four!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50They're fairly modern but they are limited edition,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52and Beatles are very, very commercial.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57I bought these because I know a mad Beatles fan.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59I think he's going to see these and he's going to have them.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03The chap wanted £120. A bit of hard negotiation.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05110 was his best price, I got them for 100, so I'm happy.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07I reckon I can double my money.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Brilliant. Now, I think it's time to look for James.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12I think he's a real Nowhere Man.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Unfortunately for you, John, it's quite the reverse.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Your mighty opponent is racing round this market, and the latest piece to
0:08:21 > 0:08:24catch his eye is this bronze bust.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Do you know who it's meant to be?
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- No idea. - Is 40 any good to you?- Sorry?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32I'll give it to you for 50.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34And that's a fantastic deal.
0:08:34 > 0:08:3745 and I'll take it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- Go on.- £45.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Deal. Thank you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45You may well be thinking, "Why on earth has he bought this?"
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Well, that makes two of us! I'm thinking exactly the same thing.
0:08:50 > 0:08:51Why on earth have I bought this?
0:08:51 > 0:08:56But the great safety net for me is the weight of this.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59It is solid bronze, and if I
0:08:59 > 0:09:02can't make a profit out of it as a sculpture,
0:09:02 > 0:09:06I can take it to the scrap man and get more than £45.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08The Lionheart is hitting hard and fast today,
0:09:08 > 0:09:13following up with a quick one-two and the purchase of this porcelain figurine.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18This little figure was made around 1770, 1775,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20and although it's not marked, if you turn it over,
0:09:20 > 0:09:24there's an incised N and an incised number there.
0:09:24 > 0:09:25And when you bite it,
0:09:25 > 0:09:27the restored areas are softer
0:09:27 > 0:09:31because when it's repaired you can't fire the porcelain again to as high
0:09:31 > 0:09:34a temperature as you would need to make good, hard porcelain.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Perfect, that's worth £300 or £400.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Restored, hopefully, £100.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43As he dances round this market like an antiques Ali,
0:09:43 > 0:09:45James is well ahead on purchases,
0:09:45 > 0:09:48but it's fair to say not many of them come from the continent.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52I've bought a few continental things, which
0:09:52 > 0:09:56I'm pleased with, but, you know, the Derby figure, the little miniature,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm equally pleased with those.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I wonder how John's getting on.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03I bet he hasn't bought anything yet.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Well, the Hammer might not be landing so many punches,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08but when he hits, boy, does he hit hard!
0:10:08 > 0:10:12The man of the people has spotted two stylish clothes stands.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15- What's your price on them? - They're 100 quid for the pair.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- 100 quid for the pair?- Ouch!
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Now, if I go home and say I bought something without trying to haggle,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23- the wife, she's a Scouser, if I can tell you that...- Start again.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25They're 150 quid the pair!
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Nice try, John.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32What's your very best? What's your trade price on these?
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- 80 quid's the death. - I didn't realise there were two.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38I do like them. Can we have a shake on that? Good man.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Right.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- Cheers, mate.- All right, thank you.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And that's a powerful left jab from John,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51and it's keeping him in the game.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Well, they say, "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my Home."
0:10:54 > 0:10:56I don't have a hat but I have got a home.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I think they're stylish clothes hangers.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00I hope somebody else has my taste.
0:11:00 > 0:11:0380 quid, I'm pretty much sure I can make a profit on that.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05The Lion and The Hammer are approaching
0:11:05 > 0:11:11this bout in very different ways, but the match has only just begun.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14They started the day here at the antiques and collectors fair with
0:11:14 > 0:11:17a budget of £750 of their own money.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20The Portsmouth Prince is stinging like a bee.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25He's only made three purchases, but he's spent a hefty £220, which means
0:11:25 > 0:11:29he's still got £530 in his kitty.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33While the Lord of Derbyshire is floating like a butterfly,
0:11:33 > 0:11:35striking quick and often.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39He's racked up nine items, spent £265
0:11:39 > 0:11:43and he's got £485 still to spend.
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Seconds out, round two, and James comes bounding out of his corner like
0:11:51 > 0:11:56a bolt from the blue. He's quick to strike, going for a giant tin bottle
0:11:56 > 0:11:58and a mussel-shaped snuff box.
0:11:58 > 0:12:0075 for the two?
0:12:00 > 0:12:0280 I'll do for the two.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- 80. You've got a deal. Thanks very much.- Cheers.- Thanks.
0:12:05 > 0:12:09True to form, he's light on his feet, hitting hard and quick.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11And he follows up with an orange sign
0:12:11 > 0:12:16advertising tea and an old bus conductor's badge, for £58.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Deal. Brilliant. Thank you.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22And then it's another old sign, advertising paraffin.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24A tenner any good?
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- Fine.- Thank you very much.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Back outside, it's not long before a ceramic statue catches John's eye.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- A bit of Lladro there, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37How much is that?
0:12:37 > 0:12:40- 200 on that.- What's the best price you'll do on that?
0:12:40 > 0:12:43- I'll do one and a half. - You'll do one and a half?
0:12:43 > 0:12:45You know that's a good deal.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49It's quite a unique piece. There's no damage anywhere.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Yeah, all right.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55- Yeah.- You've got a deal.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59The £150 price tag makes this statue
0:12:59 > 0:13:03John's biggest purchase of the day so far.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08It's a whopping great uppercut, but his opponent is watching his every move.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Come on, what have you got to say about this?
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It is restored. I looked at it earlier. It had some hemming
0:13:13 > 0:13:15round its neck when I looked at it.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Hang on a minute, what's James up to here?
0:13:18 > 0:13:19You had it done, didn't you?
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- Had the ear restored?- Yeah.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Thanks for that.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- It's not really. - Do you like these behind you?
0:13:27 > 0:13:29Ah, so The Lionheart is trying to plant
0:13:29 > 0:13:32seeds of doubt in the mind of his opposition.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Are you sure they're not IKEA?- Yeah.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38There's a bit of age to them, you know.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Two, three, four months?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Go on, on your way!
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Yes, nice try, James, but The Hammer's having none of it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50Time for our brave warriors to down the gloves and compare notes.
0:13:50 > 0:13:51Strategy?
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Not really following it. I tried, but I just can't help
0:13:53 > 0:13:57picking things up and just wanting to buy them, so how about you?
0:13:57 > 0:14:00I have to say, I've gone off piste again.
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Strategy is out the window and I'm impulse buying.- Yeah.
0:14:04 > 0:14:10And I did love my bedroom clothes stands until you ridiculed them.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12I can't believe you've bought those.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I don't go to big Swedish department stores where they make furniture.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19The only reason I know where they're from is because I looked at them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21And I liked them, too! I think they're quite funky.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24So do you think we can do a deal?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28- No. Well, I guess we ought to keep spending.- Well, enough chitchat.
0:14:28 > 0:14:31I think I've got over 300 quid in my pocket still, so, shall we?
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- I think I have, too.- Come on, then.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Well, after a few rounds of fierce combat, it seems our veterans are willing to share a lot more
0:14:39 > 0:14:41than they were at the beginning of the day
0:14:41 > 0:14:44when they first stepped into the ring.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Both of them have abandoned their original strategies,
0:14:47 > 0:14:51but with the clock ticking, they need to spend that money, and fast.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55James is ahead on purchases with 12 items under his champion's belt.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Now he's got his eagle eye on a tea caddy.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02I'm trying to get something with a bit of something about it.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Is 30 any good for that?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08No, sorry.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11- Is 35 any good to you?- Yeah, I'll do a deal with you for 35.
0:15:11 > 0:15:14- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Hear The Lion roar! The Lord of Derbyshire
0:15:17 > 0:15:20is striking again and again, and if he carries on like this,
0:15:20 > 0:15:23the Portsmouth Prince might well be floored.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28He really needs to get a wriggle on and snap up some sure-fire bankers.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31It's a Victorian hanging lamp,
0:15:31 > 0:15:35which would have been hanging from a bracket.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Now, probably gas because you've got some air vents up the top here
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- to let the gas fumes out. How much for the lamp?- 120.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44- I'll give you £100 for it. That'll buy it?- That'll buy it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Good man. £100. OK, I took a chance on it,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50but at £100 I don't think I can go much wrong, can I?
0:15:50 > 0:15:55Well, let's hope not, John, because your opponent is powering round this market
0:15:55 > 0:15:59and snatching up anything that he knows will make him a profit.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Let's have a look at this.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06This is a really good-looking, practical piece of furniture.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08What is it? When was it made?
0:16:08 > 0:16:14I should think mahogany, 1840, 1850. Mid-19th century.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Around the outside of the drawer here, we have what's called
0:16:17 > 0:16:20cock beading. Cock beading became fashionable around
0:16:20 > 0:16:231740, 1750 in England.
0:16:23 > 0:16:28If we go to the leg, a very plain turned leg, but here we have little
0:16:28 > 0:16:32sections of double turning here simulating bamboo.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36Bamboo and the Chinese taste again became fashionable
0:16:36 > 0:16:40by George IV, the Brighton Pavilion, inspired by the Orient.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42If we look on the back,
0:16:42 > 0:16:47the base of this furniture is made totally differently to the top.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51This is stained pine, here we have mahogany panels.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54I like it. I could live with this.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57At £190, at last, I've spent
0:16:57 > 0:17:00more than 30 on something! Thank goodness!
0:17:00 > 0:17:02Ooh!
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Oh, that's an almighty wallop!
0:17:05 > 0:17:08That's just the big money purchase that James was hoping for,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10and he's not about to let up.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14He's spotted an African mask and, if he pulls this deal off,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18he will have spent almost all his kitty.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21It doesn't have a great deal of the age to it, does it?
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- A little bit of damage.- Ah, yeah.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27But, you know, these things,
0:17:27 > 0:17:30it's a good decorative piece.
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Yeah.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37Beautiful.
0:17:37 > 0:17:39I'm going to make you cheeky offer.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42You can probably turn me down, no offence taken. 90 quid.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46That's not enough.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- No? OK. - HE LAUGHS
0:17:49 > 0:17:51What say 120?
0:17:51 > 0:17:53I can give you an honest answer, I haven't even got it.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58- What's the best you could do? - 100 quid.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- There it is.- Deal. - Thank you, James.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Deal. Thank you.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05You've got yourself a real bargain.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Well, I love it and I can honestly say,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11of all the things I've bought today, that is my favourite by a mile.
0:18:13 > 0:18:19Today's big bout of buying is now drawing to an epic climax.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22It's The Lion versus The Hammer and right now it's John
0:18:22 > 0:18:24who's on the ropes.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26He just wants to sell me something.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31He's only spent £470 and, with the stall holders upping sticks and heading home, he desperately needs
0:18:31 > 0:18:37to make a big-money purchase that will keep him from a crushing defeat.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I think it's time for more sunshine.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43Come on, John, keep swinging those punches.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45- John!- 50 quid.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47- Done!- You just said they were sold.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51Wow, that came out of nowhere, but what are they?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53I'm very pleased to sell them to you.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- I know you didn't want to take them home.- I know.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58- I told you, I've been honest. - I know.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Well, that's good work from John.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Like the seasoned warrior he is, he dug deep and struck back.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Now, that is what you call an impulse buy.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I was walking back, didn't know that they'd still be there.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14I didn't like them the first time I walked past them.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16They were eye-catching and that's a good thing.
0:19:16 > 0:19:17They caught my eye.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20When I stopped earlier he wanted 75 quid for them.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24He was packing up, he told me earlier he didn't want to take them home, so my timing was good.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26I think he's pleased, I'm pleased.
0:19:26 > 0:19:32£50, I must be able to make a profit out of that, surely!
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Well, let's hope you're right, John, because the unstoppable buying machine that is your opponent
0:19:37 > 0:19:39is still going strong.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Hello.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43Have you got anything for £12?
0:19:46 > 0:19:49- I've got a restoration job for a tenner.- Oh!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I had originally 15 on it.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Will you take a fiver for it?- Go on.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Yeah? Deal.- Seeing as it's you.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00Thanks very much. Thank you.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02A fiver. There we go.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06So, it's The Lionheart who gets the last jab in before the final bell.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11Our warring warriors have given their all and with the buying now over,
0:20:11 > 0:20:14it's time to find out who's spent what.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19James and John both started out with £750 of their own money.
0:20:19 > 0:20:24The Hammer picked his punches, making six purchases and spending a total of
0:20:24 > 0:20:26£520.
0:20:26 > 0:20:32The Lionheart spent £743 and he made a whopping 12 purchases.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Our dealers have used their knowledge and experience to buy the items
0:20:38 > 0:20:42they think will net them the most profit, but before they go their separate ways,
0:20:42 > 0:20:45they're keen to have a quick snoop of their opponents' wares.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50So, here we are. You bought a number of items today.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52How many exactly have you bought, James?
0:20:52 > 0:20:53- 16, I think.- 16 items.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Have you spent all your money?
0:20:55 > 0:20:57No. I was gutted.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00What, that you spent all yours? No, I had seven quid left!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Anything you regret buying?
0:21:02 > 0:21:07That horrible velvet box on the top, I wish I hadn't bought that.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10- Pretty horrible, isn't it?- Well, I have to say...- How about you?
0:21:10 > 0:21:13My table. When I bought it, it caught my eye.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Ever since I've bought it, I've thought, "What have I done?!"
0:21:16 > 0:21:20The Lladro's great, you know? I have to say, I wish I'd had a go at that.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24I can't wait to get home and have a look and see what I can find out in my reference book.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28So, what are you going to find out in your reference book on these?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Well, I'm going to take your word for that, but I'm going to blot it out
0:21:32 > 0:21:34because I think I can still sell these.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38They're quirky, eye-catching. I just won't mention the high street store.
0:21:38 > 0:21:43I think they're arty. I'm going to call those Picasso-esque dressing stands.
0:21:43 > 0:21:48- Job done! Good luck. Have fun. - See you soon.- Absolutely.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53It's now down to James and John to go their separate ways and start selling their items
0:21:53 > 0:21:56with the aim of securing as much profit as possible on each piece.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01As well as the Lladro sculpture of a boy and a goat and his clothes stands,
0:22:01 > 0:22:07John will also be selling a 1960s table, four Beatles character jugs,
0:22:07 > 0:22:14a pair of giant wicker lampshades and this large lantern.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16And along with his small velvet box,
0:22:16 > 0:22:22James also has to sell a Derby porcelain figurine, this tribal mask,
0:22:22 > 0:22:27this Victorian portrait miniature, a bust and bronze Art Deco statue,
0:22:27 > 0:22:33a selection of other boxes and tea caddies, two vintage signs and a bus wibadge,
0:22:33 > 0:22:37this metal beer bottle tin, a nutcracker and this Victorian table bowl,
0:22:37 > 0:22:44a pair of Georgian frames and this Regency side table.
0:22:46 > 0:22:50For James and John, buying their items was just the start of this epic challenge.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54With their arsenal of antiques complete, The Lionheart and The Hammer must now
0:22:54 > 0:22:58sell their purchases for as much profit as they can.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02The Lionheart can think of nothing but his arch rival.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04This is John...
0:23:05 > 0:23:07..and this is Cameron.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11While The Hammer is equally obsessed with his opposition.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15You may be watching me, Lewis, but I'm also watching you.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17And whilst you may be the Champion
0:23:17 > 0:23:21of the Derby Dales, I'm the King of the Solent.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25Our duelling dealers are both pulling out all the stops to find buyers,
0:23:25 > 0:23:28rifling through their little black books and setting up deals
0:23:28 > 0:23:31left, right and centre.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34But, until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40The Hammer is first off the blocks.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45He's armed with the last impulse buy that he made, the giant wicker lampshades purchased for £50,
0:23:45 > 0:23:50and he's thinking they might be of interest to a local hotel.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55- So, here they are, what are your thoughts?- Yes, they're impressive.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- You said lamps, they're quite larger than I thought they'd be.- Really?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00Yes, but they're nice.
0:24:00 > 0:24:04These will have great visual impact here and they'll be a good talking point for your customers.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07- Yeah, first impressions, I do like them.- Yeah?
0:24:07 > 0:24:08So, do you think you'd like to buy them?
0:24:08 > 0:24:12- What sort of money are you talking? - Well, I think they're unusual.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16- They are.- I reckon they're worth a couple of hundred quid. - Goodness. Not each!
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- No!- OK.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- So, what would you be willing to pay for them?- About 125?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27- Well, I tell you what, I'll split the difference with you, £150 and they're yours.- Go on, then.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yeah? Good man.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33The Hammer's off to a flying start with a £100 profit
0:24:33 > 0:24:36on his giant lampshades and, always a man to go the extra mile,
0:24:36 > 0:24:40he even helps to find a home for them.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46In Derbyshire, The Lionheart is itching to get his first sale under his belt.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50He's invited his old friend Ian, an avid collector of Derby porcelain,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53to come and have a look at the figurine he bought for £45.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It is Derby, isn't it?
0:24:56 > 0:24:58Yeah, it's got a little head on it.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's got patch marks.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03What do you think, 1775 or so?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Yes, yes. It might be a little bit earlier.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09- Have you got her already in your collection?- No. No, definitely not.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12I wouldn't have one as bad as this.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Thanks!
0:25:14 > 0:25:17Ouch! Well, it looks like Ian might be a bit of a tough customer.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20What do you think she's worth?
0:25:20 > 0:25:27Well, bearing in mind it's a sort of stuck together bits, 100? 110?
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I can see there's some horrible figure coming out.
0:25:31 > 0:25:33Forget it!
0:25:33 > 0:25:35I haven't even said it yet!
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I could have said 90!
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- There's a nice big sticker mark on the back.- Is it holding it together?
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Chuck another tenner in and I'll rub it off for you.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- So you want 120?- Is that all right?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49- Yeah.- We've got a deal.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I'll take a deal with that. - Brilliant. I'm so pleased.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55I forgot my chequebook.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57It's OK, I only take cash anyway!
0:25:57 > 0:25:58Yes, nicely done.
0:25:58 > 0:26:06The Lionheart holds on and closes the deal, walking away with a £75 profit.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Now, The Hammer's strategy at the antiques fair was to
0:26:10 > 0:26:15buy with potential customers in mind, and he's not wavering from the plan.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I'm going to meet a girl called Lucy who runs a vintage clothes shop.
0:26:18 > 0:26:23We've never met before. It's all about making a profit and, hopefully, I'll get one here today.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28Right, Lucy, I described them to you on the telephone yesterday,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31but give me your honest first impression.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33I love them. I think they're amazing.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I didn't expect them to be like this. I thought they'd be
0:26:36 > 0:26:39more the fine wiring type mannequins. I think they're great.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40'That's a great start.'
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- Genuinely?- Yeah, I really do.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I think they'd make a great window display to hang accessories off,
0:26:45 > 0:26:47during Christmas time or something like that,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51to hang some sort of small pieces off so you could still see the frame
0:26:51 > 0:26:56of the mannequin, because I think it would ruin the frame if you did cover it up completely.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59I think it would be great to have them on show because they're a great shape.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00OK. You want to buy them?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I am interested, I must admit, yes.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05I could push 100.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07I think 100 would be just right.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09You drive a hard bargain.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11- Yeah, I do. - I had it on good authority.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Is that your best price today?
0:27:13 > 0:27:17- It is.- OK. I'm going to take your £100.- OK, thank you.- Jolly good. - Thank you very much.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Great. Well, I can't wait to see these in the window.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24There you are, it's about knowing your market and knowing when to
0:27:24 > 0:27:28close the deal, and The Hammer is a true expert. He made a £20 profit.
0:27:31 > 0:27:35The Lionheart has picked his target for his next sale
0:27:35 > 0:27:37and he's taking a step back in time.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40Here at the National Brewery Centre, bottles of beer are a bit of
0:27:40 > 0:27:44a theme, as you can see with this wonderful old car.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47That leads me to believe that this is probably the right place
0:27:47 > 0:27:49to sell this.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54- Hello.- Hello, there.- How are you?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I'm very well thank you. So, what have we here?
0:27:57 > 0:28:01I saw this at the Ardingly Antiques Fair and I thought,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03"Look at that, I know the perfect place for that"!
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Yes.- And I just thought it was rare, but they seem to be everywhere!
0:28:07 > 0:28:08But what do you think?
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Not that rare, but unusual.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Unusual in as much as it's got a blue triangle as opposed to
0:28:15 > 0:28:20a red triangle, so that makes it interesting from my point of view.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23- So, OK, cut to the chase, do you like it?- I do.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27I was hoping to start the negotiations around 200, something like that.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Goodness gracious me, great balls of fire!
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- Well, I don't think I could go quite that high.- Make me an offer.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38How about 150?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42150, you've got a deal.
0:28:42 > 0:28:43- Deal.- Absolutely. Thank you.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45I think that's fair.
0:28:45 > 0:28:49Well, that's a £70 profit from that blast from the past, and James still
0:28:49 > 0:28:51has the snuffbox to sell.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55With 17 items to sell, James knows speed is of the essence.
0:28:55 > 0:29:00In quick succession he racks up four more sales.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04The Japanese box earns him a profit of £55.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08The pair of frames nets him £20 profit.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14The Victorian table bowl sells for £40 profit.
0:29:14 > 0:29:18And, finally, James bags £20 profit for the nutcracker.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25James may be feverishly offloading his mountain of items,
0:29:25 > 0:29:29but John still has four purchases left to sell,
0:29:29 > 0:29:34so to ease the stress our number-one antiques superstar lets off some steam.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37MUSIC: "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz
0:29:38 > 0:29:41John Cameron, ladies and gentlemen, the coolest dad in the world!
0:29:44 > 0:29:47James, if you beat that, it'll be the great rock 'n' roll swindle!
0:29:48 > 0:29:53Yes, well, band practice over, where better
0:29:53 > 0:29:56for our antiques rock god to go than his hairdressers?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58But not to get that breathtaking barnet styled.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03No, instead The Hammer is hoping he might be able to do a deal on his 1960s table.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I hope you like it.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- There we are.- Oh, it's nice!
0:30:09 > 0:30:10You like it?
0:30:10 > 0:30:12- Yeah.- Genuinely?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- I do like it. It's like a clover. - It's nice, isn't it?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17- And you girls are into the retro thing, aren't you?- Yes, I am.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20See how they've done it? That's cut out of there.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- If you lift that over, it fits on like a jigsaw.- I see.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25- That's quite smart, isn't it? - Very clever.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28Do you think you'd like to give this house room?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- I think so.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Well, I think it's worth £100.
0:30:32 > 0:30:33What do you reckon?
0:30:33 > 0:30:38If I see this in a store, I'd probably think maybe £55, £60.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Listen, you're rinsing me here! - SHE LAUGHS
0:30:41 > 0:30:43Get it, rinsing me?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45How about 75 and it's a deal?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- 75 and it's a deal? - Yeah.- Sam, do you know what?
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I think that's a snip at 75 because you've got a deal.
0:30:52 > 0:30:57It's more than a snip, Mr C! It's a profit of £35.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Both our heavyweights have made some cracking sales,
0:31:00 > 0:31:06but who's surging ahead and who's slipping behind?
0:31:06 > 0:31:10So far John 'The Hammer' Cameron has sold £325 worth
0:31:10 > 0:31:16of antique fair items netting a sturdy profit of £155.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21Rival James 'The Lionheart' Lewis has sold £470 worth of goods,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24banking £280 profit.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27The Lionheart may have opened a lead in today's battle,
0:31:27 > 0:31:31but he's still got plenty more items to sell.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Hold tight, please!
0:31:32 > 0:31:36To secure victory he needs to keep up the pressure,
0:31:36 > 0:31:39so she's decided to take another step back in time.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42He's heading for the National Tramway Museum,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45armed with the two metal signs he bought for £68.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49Well, as you can see by looking around - look on the end of that building there -
0:31:49 > 0:31:53they are full of these old enamel signs.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57They're everywhere, so this is the very logical home for my signs.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03What do you think?
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- Shall we just have a closer look at it?- OK.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10I'm certainly very happy about both of them
0:32:10 > 0:32:12and happy to attempt to acquire them.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Shall we, say, start at £100?
0:32:16 > 0:32:18I think that's a fair offer.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23- I think it's on the conservative side though.- Yes.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27I'm against John Cameron and it's Derbyshire versus Hampshire, so come on!
0:32:29 > 0:32:32OK, how about 150 the two?
0:32:32 > 0:32:36130 and we can offer you a tram ride.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- 130, you've got a deal.- Thank you.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41The Lionheart pockets £62 profit for the metal signs
0:32:41 > 0:32:46and, during his tram ride, The Lion with a soft heart is overcome
0:32:46 > 0:32:48by a sudden bout of generosity.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- There you go.- Oh, brilliant!
0:32:52 > 0:32:55- Thank you very much. - It's yours, it's a present.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57- Thank you very much.- My pleasure.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Having already made the profit he came for,
0:32:59 > 0:33:01James is happy to give away his bus badge
0:33:01 > 0:33:05and he doesn't look back because he's a man on a mission.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10He sells his tea caddy for £25 profit.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16The bronze statue he bought for £5 makes a £55 profit.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22And there's £50 profit on the mussel shell snuffbox.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29As The Lionheart's sales mounts, so does the pressure on The Hammer.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Our man's not wilting though,
0:33:31 > 0:33:35and he's hoping his next sale will keep his own profit-ometer rising.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I've come to Hayling Island to meet a writer and publisher I know
0:33:41 > 0:33:43who is a Beatles fan.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46Not only that, but my Beatles jugs that I've bought
0:33:46 > 0:33:48have a nice link to the place he lives.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Well, The Hammer's obviously thought this one through,
0:33:53 > 0:33:54but can he seal the deal?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57They're nicely done, aren't they?
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- Do you want to know what I think of them, honestly?- Go on.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I think...
0:34:03 > 0:34:05they're hideous.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09I think they're tasteless. I think they're tacky.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Oh, this could be a bit of a disaster.
0:34:12 > 0:34:13And I love them!
0:34:13 > 0:34:16Hallelujah! The Hammer's instincts were bang on.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19I'm glad you added that last bit there, Stuart, I really am!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21I love them in an ironic way.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25You're going to love them even more cos there's a story about these.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Now, you see on the bottom there, "Modelled by Ray Noble,"
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- who lived literally a mile from where we are now.- Wow!
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Do you like them even more now?
0:34:33 > 0:34:36They're coming home! That depends on the price, of course.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41All right, well, since you mention it, I think that they're worth £180.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43So what do you think?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45- STUART EXHALES - £180.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- I could do 150.- 150?
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Do you know what?
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah. - That's a deal.- Good.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54Cor, it looked bad there for a minute,
0:34:54 > 0:34:58but The Hammer walks away with £50 profit.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03The Lionheart still has five items left to sell and time is running out.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08So, he decides to put three of them into auction with no reserve price.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Could be risky.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12First up is the miniature portrait.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15I think I paid a little bit too much money for it,
0:35:15 > 0:35:18so if I make a profit on that I'll be thrilled.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21At £120 I'm bid. 120. All done?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Quite sure? Finished and away at £120.
0:35:23 > 0:35:24You're out on the 'net.
0:35:24 > 0:35:29- Selling and away at 120.- That's not good. That is not good at all.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31Oh, The Lionheart isn't happy.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34He makes a small loss of just over £6 including selling fees.
0:35:34 > 0:35:40Next up, the bust James bought for just under £32.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42At 140 I'm bid. 140.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44140. 140. Shall we say 50, quickly?
0:35:44 > 0:35:45It's in the room at 100... 150.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I'm bid 150. At 150. I'm bid 150.
0:35:48 > 0:35:53I'm bid 150. Are we all finished? On the 'net and sold and away at £150.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55- Finished.- I'm thrilled with that.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58150, great result.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Mmm. Things are looking up.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04That's a profit of just over £73 after auction costs.
0:36:04 > 0:36:09The last lot under the hammer is the small felt chest.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11£28 I'm bid. Are we all done?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13Quite sure? Finished and away.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16It'll make a lovely jewellery box, this will. At £28 and sold.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21The Lionheart makes a profit of just over £9 including fees,
0:36:21 > 0:36:27so he walks away from the auction with just over £76 in profit.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33The Hammer is desperate to score some major profits of his own
0:36:33 > 0:36:34on his last two purchases.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37He's picked out a local pub with a collection of lanterns
0:36:37 > 0:36:41as the ideal target for his next potential sale.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43I think this is copper under all this paint.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46I've cleaned up the glass, it's come up quite nice,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49but if you get this stripped off with some paint stripper
0:36:49 > 0:36:52you'd have a nice copper shiny lamp under here.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54- Do you like it? It's an early gas one.- Mm-hm.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Go on, 150.- Can't squeeze another tenner out of you?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59160?
0:37:00 > 0:37:02160?
0:37:03 > 0:37:04155?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07155, you've got yourself a deal.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12There's no messing from John and he pockets £55 profit.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18In response, The Lionheart turns his attention to his most expensive buy -
0:37:18 > 0:37:23the mahogany side cabinet he bought for £190.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26He's lined up an appointment at a local boutique hotel
0:37:26 > 0:37:28in the hope that owner Tim will be interested in it.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30So, you've seen the image.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33What do you think to the actual furniture, do you like it?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35I'll turn it over and have a bit more of a look.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- OK.- But I think it's quite handsome. The proportions are good.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I was just wondering about the veneers on these little doors,
0:37:42 > 0:37:47which seem more ambitious and elaborate than the rest of the mahogany.
0:37:47 > 0:37:49I thought that as well, until you come down here
0:37:49 > 0:37:52and there's a little rectangular panel...
0:37:52 > 0:37:55Yeah, good point. That is a similar kind of veneer.
0:37:55 > 0:37:57- It marries it beautifully.- Yeah.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02I thought it was a marriage when I bought it. I think now it did actually start life together.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Why don't we see if we can find a spot for it,
0:38:05 > 0:38:11because I think if we can, it's just the sort of thing that would look well in a house like this.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14It's a bit earlier than the house, but never mind.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Let's see if we can find somewhere for it
0:38:16 > 0:38:18and if we can, see if we can do a deal.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20- OK.- Would you mind giving me a lift?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22- Not at all.- Thank you. Which way shall we go?
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Let's go this way. - Past the croquet lawn.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33Help!
0:38:33 > 0:38:36The Hammer has travelled to Kent to try and sell
0:38:36 > 0:38:42his last and most expensive item, the Lladro statue he bought for £150.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45He's made contact with a goat sanctuary,
0:38:45 > 0:38:48hoping that the subject of his statue will appeal.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Well, they're very friendly.
0:38:50 > 0:38:51Very friendly indeed!
0:38:51 > 0:38:54I'm just hoping it doesn't like my jacket!
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Right, here's another one that I'm hoping we'll be able to add to...
0:38:57 > 0:39:01He just bit my ar... He just bit the microphone pack!
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Oh, nasty!
0:39:03 > 0:39:07The Hammer nearly turns the air blue, but soon recovers his composure.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09- Can you tell me a little bit about it?- Of course.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12It's made by the very famous factory of Lladro.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15This particular piece - a sculptural piece - is quite scarce
0:39:15 > 0:39:18and they're very expensive when they're first made.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I found two that are for sale other than this one,
0:39:21 > 0:39:23both of which are in America.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26One of those is for 2,300,
0:39:26 > 0:39:28which is about £1,500.
0:39:28 > 0:39:33The other one is 1,250, which is about £800 at today's exchange.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36I'm not asking you anything like that,
0:39:36 > 0:39:39but I'm going to ask you £300 for it.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42That's a bit more than I was thinking of. 245?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Oh, come on. There's still a good profit in this.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48All right, my final offer - 255.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51- 260, come on.- 255.- 255?- Yeah.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54OK, 255. You've got yourself a deal.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- OK. And you've now got yourself another goat.- Jolly good!
0:39:58 > 0:39:59Another one for the herd.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04Well, John overcomes a goat attack and some determined haggling
0:40:04 > 0:40:06to seal a profit of £105.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11James, on the other hand, still has a couple of items left to sell,
0:40:11 > 0:40:16but he makes a radical decision with one of them.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19The thing is, if you use your heart, you often make mistakes
0:40:19 > 0:40:21and you buy things that nobody else would want.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It's commercially a nightmare.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26The good thing is, though, if you use your heart,
0:40:26 > 0:40:28you don't mind living with them afterwards.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I quite like this. Good job really!
0:40:31 > 0:40:35Oh, it's not like The Lionheart to admit defeat.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38He's having to keep his tribal mask, which leaves him with a £100 loss.
0:40:38 > 0:40:43So his fortunes now depend on the sale of his side cabinet.
0:40:43 > 0:40:47We'll find out later if James managed to secure the price he needs for victory.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Time now to tot up the totals
0:40:50 > 0:40:54and reveal who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59The Lionheart and The Hammer both had up to £750 of their own money
0:40:59 > 0:41:01to spend at the antiques fair.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07John bagged himself six items spending a total of £520,
0:41:07 > 0:41:14while James bought in bulk, splashing out £743 on a whopping 17 items.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17All the profit James and John have made over a week's challenges
0:41:17 > 0:41:19will be going to their chosen charities,
0:41:19 > 0:41:22so without further ado, it's time to find out
0:41:22 > 0:41:26who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Mr Lewis!- Mr Cameron, how are you? - I'm all right.- Very well.
0:41:30 > 0:41:32I bet those coat stands saved your bacon.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36Not quite saved my bacon, but they were a couple of pigs, that's for sure!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38I still made a profit though,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40but the best thing I sold was my Lladro sculpture.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42- My best thing?- Go on.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44- My mask.- Your mask?
0:41:44 > 0:41:46The best thing about it... I've still got it!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Right. OK, come on, look, put me out of my misery.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51- OK.- On three.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52- One...- One, two, three.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55- Oh, ho!- Hang on a second!
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- How did you do that?- Come on.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04So it's a victory for James thanks to the sale of the side cabinet.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07You've got a deal. Super. Thank you very much.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11The Lionheart more than doubles his money with a profit of £210,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14ensuring a handsome victory.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19Well, beaten at the antiques fair by the Dick Dastardly of Derbyshire,
