This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

0:00:020:00:04

the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts against each other in an all-out battle

0:00:040:00:09

for profit, and gives you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.

0:00:090:00:15

Coming up, our dealers show you that effective reconnaissance

0:00:150:00:18

-is not all about speed.

-If I don't slow down,

0:00:180:00:21

I may well miss something that's tucked away behind that Victorian pottery.

0:00:210:00:24

How to follow your heart when choosing which antiques to buy.

0:00:240:00:28

I like it. I could live with this.

0:00:280:00:30

And when selling your wares, it's as well to pick your buyers carefully.

0:00:300:00:34

They're hideous, tasteless, I think they're tacky.

0:00:340:00:39

Today it's The Lionheart against The Hammer,

0:00:520:00:56

as blue-blooded charmer James Lewis

0:00:560:00:58

takes on man of the people John Cameron

0:00:580:01:01

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

0:01:010:01:07

If I can't make a profit out of 150 quid,

0:01:070:01:09

I think I'd better hang up my gavel.

0:01:090:01:12

It's a culture clash of epic proportions.

0:01:120:01:14

The proud Prince of Portsmouth versus the Lord of the Derbyshire Vales.

0:01:140:01:19

If you love it, buy it,

0:01:190:01:21

but check it really carefully before you part with your money.

0:01:210:01:24

Risking their reputations and their own hard earned-cash in a battle that

0:01:240:01:29

will test their knowledge and their contact books to the absolute limit.

0:01:290:01:34

Wow, those portraits are gorgeous.

0:01:340:01:36

Our duelling auctioneers have got up to £750 of their own money to spend.

0:01:360:01:42

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

0:01:420:01:46

all of which will be going to their chosen charities.

0:01:460:01:49

Today's arena for battle is the

0:01:490:01:52

International Antique & Collectors Fair in Ardingly.

0:01:520:01:56

Held six times a year, this two-day fair sees up to

0:01:560:01:59

1,700 stalls, selling everything from

0:01:590:02:01

fine furniture and ceramics to glassware and textiles.

0:02:010:02:06

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

0:02:060:02:09

James Lewis and John Cameron, it's time to

0:02:090:02:13

Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.

0:02:130:02:16

It's a lovely day to be browsing for antiques.

0:02:160:02:19

-Beautiful, isn't it?

-So, here we are at Ardingly.

0:02:190:02:22

Hundreds of dealers are all working very hard to separate you

0:02:220:02:25

from your hard-earned cash. Speaking of which, have you brought it?

0:02:250:02:28

I have, all £750 of it.

0:02:280:02:32

Here we are, snap.

0:02:320:02:35

So, your strategy for today, what are we doing?

0:02:350:02:37

You know, I'm not going to tell you. I'm going to play my cards

0:02:370:02:41

rather close to my chest today.

0:02:410:02:43

Oh, same as last time, then?

0:02:430:02:44

-Yeah. How about you?

-You meanie!

0:02:440:02:46

-I'm not going to tell you either, so, well, good luck!

-Thanks!

0:02:460:02:50

Oh, our duelling duo are a bit cagey as they circle each other

0:02:500:02:54

like seasoned prizefighters.

0:02:540:02:56

But while they might not be willing to reveal a single

0:02:560:02:58

titbit of intelligence to each other, they've both come armed with clear strategies.

0:02:580:03:04

If you're a lover of antiques, or just somebody who likes to hunt

0:03:040:03:07

for a bargain, an antiques fair is the perfect place.

0:03:070:03:10

And here at Ardingly is one of the biggest antiques fairs in Europe.

0:03:100:03:14

It attracts vendors and sellers from, literally, all over Europe.

0:03:140:03:18

So, hopefully, my strategy today is to find something a little bit

0:03:180:03:21

continental, a little bit different and something really good value.

0:03:210:03:26

So, as he prowls this market like a lion through the savannah,

0:03:260:03:30

James will be hunting down items from the continent which will have

0:03:300:03:34

maximum appeal to his buyers here in the UK.

0:03:340:03:36

Surprise, surprise, his opposition is taking a very different approach.

0:03:360:03:40

The problem with having a strategy when you come into somewhere like

0:03:400:03:44

Ardingly is that it can all go out of the window

0:03:440:03:46

once you get here because there is absolutely everything here.

0:03:460:03:50

Every type of decorative art, fine art, you'll find it all here.

0:03:500:03:54

There are stalls packed with really good quality

0:03:540:03:57

reproduction items as well, which may well remind you of someone's

0:03:570:04:01

quirky habits that you know.

0:04:010:04:02

They're always good to earn a few pounds with those,

0:04:020:04:05

but I'm trying to avoid them and trying to stay focused on what I'm here to do,

0:04:050:04:08

that's to buy good things that I can sell and make a profit.

0:04:080:04:12

So, The Hammer will be landing on those items which are priced low

0:04:120:04:15

and which he knows he can sell high to his select list of industry contacts.

0:04:150:04:20

Both these mighty warriors are

0:04:200:04:23

ready to rumble, so it's seconds out, round one, and it's The Lionheart who

0:04:230:04:28

lands the first punch, picking up a decorated antique box for £35.

0:04:280:04:32

OK, first deal of the day done.

0:04:340:04:36

Look at that, isn't that a super little box?

0:04:360:04:39

It's likely to be Japanese.

0:04:390:04:40

This sort of style with the two colours, the copper and the brass,

0:04:400:04:44

is very much in the Magi Japanese period style, but for £35,

0:04:440:04:49

that's not expensive. I reckon there's at least £60, £70 there.

0:04:490:04:52

So, bargain!

0:04:520:04:55

Well, that's a mighty first blow from James, but his opponent is made of

0:04:550:05:00

tough stuff and he's spotted a funky coffee table priced at £45.

0:05:000:05:06

-What is it, '50s?

-'60s.

-'60s?

0:05:060:05:10

Yeah.

0:05:100:05:11

When you look underneath, they didn't do, like, a quality build.

0:05:110:05:15

-If you notice underneath, like, the chipboard?

-Yeah.

0:05:150:05:18

And then they would have bought those legs in

0:05:180:05:21

and then fitted them on there.

0:05:210:05:23

But all they've done is cut that bit out and put it at the back.

0:05:230:05:27

Are you sure I can't tempt you for 40 quid for that?

0:05:280:05:31

-Go on, then.

-Yeah?

-40 quid, done.

0:05:310:05:34

Good man. I don't know why I've bought this, but I just like it.

0:05:340:05:37

I've been walking around for half an hour, it caught my eye.

0:05:370:05:39

There we are, the first item of the day. Hope I don't regret it.

0:05:390:05:43

I do have somebody in mind, but if he doesn't like it,

0:05:430:05:46

I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing with this.

0:05:460:05:48

-I'm giving it away.

-You are.

0:05:480:05:50

40. Well, let's hope I don't have to, eh?

0:05:500:05:53

I'm sure you'll make a profit on that.

0:05:530:05:55

-Thanks.

-Thank you very much.

0:05:550:05:58

So, John is sticking to his strategy

0:05:580:06:00

of picking up items with specific buyers in mind,

0:06:000:06:03

but this bout has only just begun and he's warily circling the ring.

0:06:030:06:08

The problem is, with so many stalls and so much to see,

0:06:080:06:11

there's a temptation to rush round, especially when you look at tables

0:06:110:06:15

and they're full of Victorian bric-a-brac.

0:06:150:06:17

But there's where some people may make a mistake.

0:06:170:06:19

If I don't slow down and have a good look, I may well miss

0:06:190:06:22

something that's tucked away behind that Victorian pottery.

0:06:220:06:26

So, John is waiting for the right

0:06:260:06:28

moment to strike, while James is focused

0:06:280:06:30

on landing a series of early body blows, hunting down pieces to bulk up his booty bag.

0:06:300:06:36

That's interesting because that is

0:06:360:06:40

a really lovely quality miniature.

0:06:400:06:42

The idea was, if you were a lady of some standing in the 19th century

0:06:420:06:47

and you wanted to remember your loved one, there

0:06:470:06:50

was no such thing as photography, you would hire a miniature painter.

0:06:500:06:54

The asking price was 110.

0:06:540:06:56

I think if that was at a really good quality specialist antiques dealer

0:06:560:07:00

stand at one of the top fairs, they'd be asking probably

0:07:000:07:03

300, 350 for that, so hoping, hoping there might be £100 profit in it. We'll see.

0:07:030:07:10

That's a mighty purchase from The Lionheart,

0:07:100:07:13

and he's quick to follow it up with two Georgian picture frames, a felt chest,

0:07:130:07:18

a nutcracker and a Victorian table bowl, all purchased for a total of £40.

0:07:180:07:25

What a start! James has

0:07:250:07:27

racked up seven items and spent £175 of his own money in next to no time.

0:07:270:07:32

He's raining down blows on his

0:07:340:07:35

opposition, but the mighty Hammer isn't anywhere near the ropes yet.

0:07:350:07:40

I've got myself another purchase here. It's four limited-edition

0:07:400:07:44

pottery character jugs of, no less, the Fab Four!

0:07:440:07:48

They're fairly modern but they are limited edition,

0:07:480:07:50

and Beatles are very, very commercial.

0:07:500:07:52

I bought these because I know a mad Beatles fan.

0:07:520:07:57

I think he's going to see these and he's going to have them.

0:07:570:07:59

The chap wanted £120. A bit of hard negotiation.

0:07:590:08:03

110 was his best price, I got them for 100, so I'm happy.

0:08:030:08:05

I reckon I can double my money.

0:08:050:08:07

Brilliant. Now, I think it's time to look for James.

0:08:070:08:10

I think he's a real Nowhere Man.

0:08:100:08:12

Unfortunately for you, John, it's quite the reverse.

0:08:150:08:17

Your mighty opponent is racing round this market, and the latest piece to

0:08:170:08:21

catch his eye is this bronze bust.

0:08:210:08:24

Do you know who it's meant to be?

0:08:240:08:27

-No idea.

-Is 40 any good to you?

-Sorry?

0:08:270:08:30

I'll give it to you for 50.

0:08:300:08:32

And that's a fantastic deal.

0:08:320:08:34

45 and I'll take it.

0:08:340:08:37

-Go on.

-£45.

0:08:370:08:39

Deal. Thank you.

0:08:390:08:41

You may well be thinking, "Why on earth has he bought this?"

0:08:410:08:45

Well, that makes two of us! I'm thinking exactly the same thing.

0:08:450:08:50

Why on earth have I bought this?

0:08:500:08:51

But the great safety net for me is the weight of this.

0:08:510:08:56

It is solid bronze, and if I

0:08:560:08:59

can't make a profit out of it as a sculpture,

0:08:590:09:02

I can take it to the scrap man and get more than £45.

0:09:020:09:06

The Lionheart is hitting hard and fast today,

0:09:060:09:08

following up with a quick one-two and the purchase of this porcelain figurine.

0:09:080:09:13

This little figure was made around 1770, 1775,

0:09:130:09:18

and although it's not marked, if you turn it over,

0:09:180:09:20

there's an incised N and an incised number there.

0:09:200:09:24

And when you bite it,

0:09:240:09:25

the restored areas are softer

0:09:250:09:27

because when it's repaired you can't fire the porcelain again to as high

0:09:270:09:31

a temperature as you would need to make good, hard porcelain.

0:09:310:09:34

Perfect, that's worth £300 or £400.

0:09:340:09:37

Restored, hopefully, £100.

0:09:370:09:39

As he dances round this market like an antiques Ali,

0:09:390:09:43

James is well ahead on purchases,

0:09:430:09:45

but it's fair to say not many of them come from the continent.

0:09:450:09:48

I've bought a few continental things, which

0:09:480:09:52

I'm pleased with, but, you know, the Derby figure, the little miniature,

0:09:520:09:56

I'm equally pleased with those.

0:09:560:09:59

I wonder how John's getting on.

0:09:590:10:01

I bet he hasn't bought anything yet.

0:10:010:10:03

Well, the Hammer might not be landing so many punches,

0:10:030:10:05

but when he hits, boy, does he hit hard!

0:10:050:10:08

The man of the people has spotted two stylish clothes stands.

0:10:080:10:12

-What's your price on them?

-They're 100 quid for the pair.

0:10:120:10:15

-100 quid for the pair?

-Ouch!

0:10:150:10:17

Now, if I go home and say I bought something without trying to haggle,

0:10:170:10:20

-the wife, she's a Scouser, if I can tell you that...

-Start again.

0:10:200:10:23

They're 150 quid the pair!

0:10:230:10:25

Nice try, John.

0:10:250:10:27

What's your very best? What's your trade price on these?

0:10:270:10:32

-80 quid's the death.

-I didn't realise there were two.

0:10:320:10:35

I do like them. Can we have a shake on that? Good man.

0:10:350:10:38

-Thank you.

-Thank you very much indeed.

0:10:380:10:41

Right.

0:10:410:10:43

-Cheers, mate.

-All right, thank you.

0:10:430:10:45

And that's a powerful left jab from John,

0:10:450:10:48

and it's keeping him in the game.

0:10:480:10:51

Well, they say, "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my Home."

0:10:510:10:54

I don't have a hat but I have got a home.

0:10:540:10:56

I think they're stylish clothes hangers.

0:10:560:10:58

I hope somebody else has my taste.

0:10:580:11:00

80 quid, I'm pretty much sure I can make a profit on that.

0:11:000:11:03

The Lion and The Hammer are approaching

0:11:030:11:05

this bout in very different ways, but the match has only just begun.

0:11:050:11:11

They started the day here at the antiques and collectors fair with

0:11:110:11:14

a budget of £750 of their own money.

0:11:140:11:17

The Portsmouth Prince is stinging like a bee.

0:11:170:11:20

He's only made three purchases, but he's spent a hefty £220, which means

0:11:200:11:25

he's still got £530 in his kitty.

0:11:250:11:29

While the Lord of Derbyshire is floating like a butterfly,

0:11:290:11:33

striking quick and often.

0:11:330:11:35

He's racked up nine items, spent £265

0:11:350:11:39

and he's got £485 still to spend.

0:11:390:11:43

Seconds out, round two, and James comes bounding out of his corner like

0:11:460:11:51

a bolt from the blue. He's quick to strike, going for a giant tin bottle

0:11:510:11:56

and a mussel-shaped snuff box.

0:11:560:11:58

75 for the two?

0:11:580:12:00

80 I'll do for the two.

0:12:000:12:02

-80. You've got a deal. Thanks very much.

-Cheers.

-Thanks.

0:12:020:12:05

True to form, he's light on his feet, hitting hard and quick.

0:12:050:12:09

And he follows up with an orange sign

0:12:090:12:11

advertising tea and an old bus conductor's badge, for £58.

0:12:110:12:16

Deal. Brilliant. Thank you.

0:12:160:12:18

And then it's another old sign, advertising paraffin.

0:12:180:12:22

A tenner any good?

0:12:220:12:24

-Fine.

-Thank you very much.

0:12:240:12:27

Back outside, it's not long before a ceramic statue catches John's eye.

0:12:270:12:31

-A bit of Lladro there, isn't it?

-Yeah.

0:12:310:12:33

How much is that?

0:12:350:12:37

-200 on that.

-What's the best price you'll do on that?

0:12:370:12:40

-I'll do one and a half.

-You'll do one and a half?

0:12:400:12:43

You know that's a good deal.

0:12:430:12:45

It's quite a unique piece. There's no damage anywhere.

0:12:450:12:49

Yeah, all right.

0:12:520:12:54

-Yeah.

-You've got a deal.

0:12:540:12:55

The £150 price tag makes this statue

0:12:570:12:59

John's biggest purchase of the day so far.

0:12:590:13:03

It's a whopping great uppercut, but his opponent is watching his every move.

0:13:030:13:08

Come on, what have you got to say about this?

0:13:090:13:11

It is restored. I looked at it earlier. It had some hemming

0:13:110:13:13

round its neck when I looked at it.

0:13:130:13:15

Hang on a minute, what's James up to here?

0:13:150:13:18

You had it done, didn't you?

0:13:180:13:19

-Had the ear restored?

-Yeah.

0:13:190:13:22

Thanks for that.

0:13:220:13:24

-It's not really.

-Do you like these behind you?

0:13:240:13:27

Ah, so The Lionheart is trying to plant

0:13:270:13:29

seeds of doubt in the mind of his opposition.

0:13:290:13:32

-Are you sure they're not IKEA?

-Yeah.

0:13:340:13:36

There's a bit of age to them, you know.

0:13:360:13:38

Two, three, four months?

0:13:380:13:40

Go on, on your way!

0:13:400:13:42

Yes, nice try, James, but The Hammer's having none of it.

0:13:420:13:45

Time for our brave warriors to down the gloves and compare notes.

0:13:450:13:50

Strategy?

0:13:500:13:51

Not really following it. I tried, but I just can't help

0:13:510:13:53

picking things up and just wanting to buy them, so how about you?

0:13:530:13:57

I have to say, I've gone off piste again.

0:13:570:14:00

-Strategy is out the window and I'm impulse buying.

-Yeah.

0:14:000:14:04

And I did love my bedroom clothes stands until you ridiculed them.

0:14:040:14:10

I can't believe you've bought those.

0:14:100:14:12

I don't go to big Swedish department stores where they make furniture.

0:14:120:14:15

The only reason I know where they're from is because I looked at them.

0:14:150:14:19

And I liked them, too! I think they're quite funky.

0:14:190:14:21

So do you think we can do a deal?

0:14:210:14:24

-No. Well, I guess we ought to keep spending.

-Well, enough chitchat.

0:14:240:14:28

I think I've got over 300 quid in my pocket still, so, shall we?

0:14:280:14:31

-I think I have, too.

-Come on, then.

0:14:310:14:33

Well, after a few rounds of fierce combat, it seems our veterans are willing to share a lot more

0:14:340:14:39

than they were at the beginning of the day

0:14:390:14:41

when they first stepped into the ring.

0:14:410:14:44

Both of them have abandoned their original strategies,

0:14:440:14:47

but with the clock ticking, they need to spend that money, and fast.

0:14:470:14:51

James is ahead on purchases with 12 items under his champion's belt.

0:14:510:14:55

Now he's got his eagle eye on a tea caddy.

0:14:550:14:58

I'm trying to get something with a bit of something about it.

0:14:580:15:02

Is 30 any good for that?

0:15:020:15:05

No, sorry.

0:15:060:15:08

-Is 35 any good to you?

-Yeah, I'll do a deal with you for 35.

0:15:080:15:11

-Thank you very much.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:15:110:15:14

Hear The Lion roar! The Lord of Derbyshire

0:15:140:15:17

is striking again and again, and if he carries on like this,

0:15:170:15:20

the Portsmouth Prince might well be floored.

0:15:200:15:23

He really needs to get a wriggle on and snap up some sure-fire bankers.

0:15:230:15:28

It's a Victorian hanging lamp,

0:15:280:15:31

which would have been hanging from a bracket.

0:15:310:15:35

Now, probably gas because you've got some air vents up the top here

0:15:350:15:39

-to let the gas fumes out. How much for the lamp?

-120.

0:15:390:15:41

-I'll give you £100 for it. That'll buy it?

-That'll buy it.

0:15:410:15:44

Good man. £100. OK, I took a chance on it,

0:15:440:15:47

but at £100 I don't think I can go much wrong, can I?

0:15:470:15:50

Well, let's hope not, John, because your opponent is powering round this market

0:15:500:15:55

and snatching up anything that he knows will make him a profit.

0:15:550:15:59

Let's have a look at this.

0:15:590:16:02

This is a really good-looking, practical piece of furniture.

0:16:020:16:06

What is it? When was it made?

0:16:060:16:08

I should think mahogany, 1840, 1850. Mid-19th century.

0:16:080:16:14

Around the outside of the drawer here, we have what's called

0:16:140:16:17

cock beading. Cock beading became fashionable around

0:16:170:16:20

1740, 1750 in England.

0:16:200:16:23

If we go to the leg, a very plain turned leg, but here we have little

0:16:230:16:28

sections of double turning here simulating bamboo.

0:16:280:16:32

Bamboo and the Chinese taste again became fashionable

0:16:320:16:36

by George IV, the Brighton Pavilion, inspired by the Orient.

0:16:360:16:40

If we look on the back,

0:16:400:16:42

the base of this furniture is made totally differently to the top.

0:16:420:16:47

This is stained pine, here we have mahogany panels.

0:16:470:16:51

I like it. I could live with this.

0:16:510:16:54

At £190, at last, I've spent

0:16:540:16:57

more than 30 on something! Thank goodness!

0:16:570:17:00

Ooh!

0:17:000:17:02

Oh, that's an almighty wallop!

0:17:020:17:05

That's just the big money purchase that James was hoping for,

0:17:050:17:08

and he's not about to let up.

0:17:080:17:10

He's spotted an African mask and, if he pulls this deal off,

0:17:100:17:14

he will have spent almost all his kitty.

0:17:140:17:18

It doesn't have a great deal of the age to it, does it?

0:17:180:17:21

-A little bit of damage.

-Ah, yeah.

0:17:210:17:25

But, you know, these things,

0:17:250:17:27

it's a good decorative piece.

0:17:270:17:30

Yeah.

0:17:310:17:34

Beautiful.

0:17:340:17:37

I'm going to make you cheeky offer.

0:17:370:17:39

You can probably turn me down, no offence taken. 90 quid.

0:17:390:17:42

That's not enough.

0:17:440:17:46

-No? OK.

-HE LAUGHS

0:17:460:17:49

What say 120?

0:17:490:17:51

I can give you an honest answer, I haven't even got it.

0:17:510:17:53

-What's the best you could do?

-100 quid.

0:17:530:17:58

-There it is.

-Deal.

-Thank you, James.

0:17:580:18:01

Deal. Thank you.

0:18:010:18:03

You've got yourself a real bargain.

0:18:030:18:05

Well, I love it and I can honestly say,

0:18:050:18:08

of all the things I've bought today, that is my favourite by a mile.

0:18:080:18:11

Today's big bout of buying is now drawing to an epic climax.

0:18:130:18:19

It's The Lion versus The Hammer and right now it's John

0:18:190:18:22

who's on the ropes.

0:18:220:18:24

He just wants to sell me something.

0:18:240:18:26

He's only spent £470 and, with the stall holders upping sticks and heading home, he desperately needs

0:18:260:18:31

to make a big-money purchase that will keep him from a crushing defeat.

0:18:310:18:37

I think it's time for more sunshine.

0:18:370:18:39

Come on, John, keep swinging those punches.

0:18:390:18:43

-John!

-50 quid.

0:18:430:18:45

-Done!

-You just said they were sold.

0:18:450:18:47

Wow, that came out of nowhere, but what are they?

0:18:470:18:51

I'm very pleased to sell them to you.

0:18:510:18:53

-I know you didn't want to take them home.

-I know.

0:18:530:18:56

-I told you, I've been honest.

-I know.

0:18:560:18:58

Well, that's good work from John.

0:18:580:19:01

Like the seasoned warrior he is, he dug deep and struck back.

0:19:010:19:05

Now, that is what you call an impulse buy.

0:19:050:19:08

I was walking back, didn't know that they'd still be there.

0:19:080:19:11

I didn't like them the first time I walked past them.

0:19:110:19:14

They were eye-catching and that's a good thing.

0:19:140:19:16

They caught my eye.

0:19:160:19:17

When I stopped earlier he wanted 75 quid for them.

0:19:170:19:20

He was packing up, he told me earlier he didn't want to take them home, so my timing was good.

0:19:200:19:24

I think he's pleased, I'm pleased.

0:19:240:19:26

£50, I must be able to make a profit out of that, surely!

0:19:260:19:32

Well, let's hope you're right, John, because the unstoppable buying machine that is your opponent

0:19:320:19:37

is still going strong.

0:19:370:19:39

Hello.

0:19:390:19:41

Have you got anything for £12?

0:19:410:19:43

-I've got a restoration job for a tenner.

-Oh!

0:19:460:19:49

I had originally 15 on it.

0:19:510:19:53

-Will you take a fiver for it?

-Go on.

0:19:530:19:55

-Yeah? Deal.

-Seeing as it's you.

0:19:550:19:58

Thanks very much. Thank you.

0:19:580:20:00

A fiver. There we go.

0:20:000:20:02

So, it's The Lionheart who gets the last jab in before the final bell.

0:20:020:20:06

Our warring warriors have given their all and with the buying now over,

0:20:060:20:11

it's time to find out who's spent what.

0:20:110:20:14

James and John both started out with £750 of their own money.

0:20:140:20:19

The Hammer picked his punches, making six purchases and spending a total of

0:20:190:20:24

£520.

0:20:240:20:26

The Lionheart spent £743 and he made a whopping 12 purchases.

0:20:260:20:32

Our dealers have used their knowledge and experience to buy the items

0:20:350:20:38

they think will net them the most profit, but before they go their separate ways,

0:20:380:20:42

they're keen to have a quick snoop of their opponents' wares.

0:20:420:20:45

So, here we are. You bought a number of items today.

0:20:470:20:50

How many exactly have you bought, James?

0:20:500:20:52

-16, I think.

-16 items.

0:20:520:20:53

Have you spent all your money?

0:20:530:20:55

No. I was gutted.

0:20:550:20:57

What, that you spent all yours? No, I had seven quid left!

0:20:570:21:00

Anything you regret buying?

0:21:000:21:02

That horrible velvet box on the top, I wish I hadn't bought that.

0:21:020:21:07

-Pretty horrible, isn't it?

-Well, I have to say...

-How about you?

0:21:070:21:10

My table. When I bought it, it caught my eye.

0:21:100:21:13

Ever since I've bought it, I've thought, "What have I done?!"

0:21:130:21:16

The Lladro's great, you know? I have to say, I wish I'd had a go at that.

0:21:160:21:20

I can't wait to get home and have a look and see what I can find out in my reference book.

0:21:200:21:24

So, what are you going to find out in your reference book on these?

0:21:240:21:28

Well, I'm going to take your word for that, but I'm going to blot it out

0:21:280:21:32

because I think I can still sell these.

0:21:320:21:34

They're quirky, eye-catching. I just won't mention the high street store.

0:21:340:21:38

I think they're arty. I'm going to call those Picasso-esque dressing stands.

0:21:380:21:43

-Job done! Good luck. Have fun.

-See you soon.

-Absolutely.

0:21:430:21:48

It's now down to James and John to go their separate ways and start selling their items

0:21:480:21:53

with the aim of securing as much profit as possible on each piece.

0:21:530:21:56

As well as the Lladro sculpture of a boy and a goat and his clothes stands,

0:21:560:22:01

John will also be selling a 1960s table, four Beatles character jugs,

0:22:010:22:07

a pair of giant wicker lampshades and this large lantern.

0:22:070:22:14

And along with his small velvet box,

0:22:140:22:16

James also has to sell a Derby porcelain figurine, this tribal mask,

0:22:160:22:22

this Victorian portrait miniature, a bust and bronze Art Deco statue,

0:22:220:22:27

a selection of other boxes and tea caddies, two vintage signs and a bus wibadge,

0:22:270:22:33

this metal beer bottle tin, a nutcracker and this Victorian table bowl,

0:22:330:22:37

a pair of Georgian frames and this Regency side table.

0:22:370:22:44

For James and John, buying their items was just the start of this epic challenge.

0:22:460:22:50

With their arsenal of antiques complete, The Lionheart and The Hammer must now

0:22:500:22:54

sell their purchases for as much profit as they can.

0:22:540:22:58

The Lionheart can think of nothing but his arch rival.

0:22:580:23:02

This is John...

0:23:020:23:04

..and this is Cameron.

0:23:050:23:07

While The Hammer is equally obsessed with his opposition.

0:23:070:23:11

You may be watching me, Lewis, but I'm also watching you.

0:23:110:23:15

And whilst you may be the Champion

0:23:150:23:17

of the Derby Dales, I'm the King of the Solent.

0:23:170:23:21

Our duelling dealers are both pulling out all the stops to find buyers,

0:23:210:23:25

rifling through their little black books and setting up deals

0:23:250:23:28

left, right and centre.

0:23:280:23:31

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

0:23:310:23:34

no deal is truly sealed.

0:23:340:23:37

The Hammer is first off the blocks.

0:23:380:23:40

He's armed with the last impulse buy that he made, the giant wicker lampshades purchased for £50,

0:23:400:23:45

and he's thinking they might be of interest to a local hotel.

0:23:450:23:50

-So, here they are, what are your thoughts?

-Yes, they're impressive.

0:23:500:23:55

-You said lamps, they're quite larger than I thought they'd be.

-Really?

0:23:550:23:58

Yes, but they're nice.

0:23:580:24:00

These will have great visual impact here and they'll be a good talking point for your customers.

0:24:000:24:04

-Yeah, first impressions, I do like them.

-Yeah?

0:24:040:24:07

So, do you think you'd like to buy them?

0:24:070:24:08

-What sort of money are you talking?

-Well, I think they're unusual.

0:24:080:24:12

-They are.

-I reckon they're worth a couple of hundred quid.

-Goodness. Not each!

0:24:120:24:16

-No!

-OK.

0:24:160:24:19

-So, what would you be willing to pay for them?

-About 125?

0:24:190:24:22

-Well, I tell you what, I'll split the difference with you, £150 and they're yours.

-Go on, then.

0:24:220:24:27

Yeah? Good man.

0:24:270:24:29

The Hammer's off to a flying start with a £100 profit

0:24:290:24:33

on his giant lampshades and, always a man to go the extra mile,

0:24:330:24:36

he even helps to find a home for them.

0:24:360:24:40

In Derbyshire, The Lionheart is itching to get his first sale under his belt.

0:24:410:24:46

He's invited his old friend Ian, an avid collector of Derby porcelain,

0:24:460:24:50

to come and have a look at the figurine he bought for £45.

0:24:500:24:53

It is Derby, isn't it?

0:24:530:24:56

Yeah, it's got a little head on it.

0:24:560:24:58

It's got patch marks.

0:24:580:25:00

What do you think, 1775 or so?

0:25:000:25:03

Yes, yes. It might be a little bit earlier.

0:25:030:25:06

-Have you got her already in your collection?

-No. No, definitely not.

0:25:060:25:09

I wouldn't have one as bad as this.

0:25:090:25:12

Thanks!

0:25:120:25:14

Ouch! Well, it looks like Ian might be a bit of a tough customer.

0:25:140:25:17

What do you think she's worth?

0:25:170:25:20

Well, bearing in mind it's a sort of stuck together bits, 100? 110?

0:25:200:25:27

I can see there's some horrible figure coming out.

0:25:270:25:31

Forget it!

0:25:310:25:33

I haven't even said it yet!

0:25:330:25:35

I could have said 90!

0:25:350:25:38

-There's a nice big sticker mark on the back.

-Is it holding it together?

0:25:380:25:42

Chuck another tenner in and I'll rub it off for you.

0:25:420:25:44

-So you want 120?

-Is that all right?

0:25:440:25:47

-Yeah.

-We've got a deal.

0:25:470:25:49

-I'll take a deal with that.

-Brilliant. I'm so pleased.

0:25:490:25:53

I forgot my chequebook.

0:25:530:25:55

It's OK, I only take cash anyway!

0:25:550:25:57

Yes, nicely done.

0:25:570:25:58

The Lionheart holds on and closes the deal, walking away with a £75 profit.

0:25:580:26:06

Now, The Hammer's strategy at the antiques fair was to

0:26:060:26:10

buy with potential customers in mind, and he's not wavering from the plan.

0:26:100:26:15

I'm going to meet a girl called Lucy who runs a vintage clothes shop.

0:26:150:26:18

We've never met before. It's all about making a profit and, hopefully, I'll get one here today.

0:26:180:26:23

Right, Lucy, I described them to you on the telephone yesterday,

0:26:260:26:28

but give me your honest first impression.

0:26:280:26:31

I love them. I think they're amazing.

0:26:310:26:33

I didn't expect them to be like this. I thought they'd be

0:26:330:26:36

more the fine wiring type mannequins. I think they're great.

0:26:360:26:39

'That's a great start.'

0:26:390:26:40

-Genuinely?

-Yeah, I really do.

0:26:400:26:42

I think they'd make a great window display to hang accessories off,

0:26:420:26:45

during Christmas time or something like that,

0:26:450:26:47

to hang some sort of small pieces off so you could still see the frame

0:26:470:26:51

of the mannequin, because I think it would ruin the frame if you did cover it up completely.

0:26:510:26:56

I think it would be great to have them on show because they're a great shape.

0:26:560:26:59

OK. You want to buy them?

0:26:590:27:00

I am interested, I must admit, yes.

0:27:000:27:03

I could push 100.

0:27:030:27:05

I think 100 would be just right.

0:27:050:27:07

You drive a hard bargain.

0:27:070:27:09

-Yeah, I do.

-I had it on good authority.

0:27:090:27:11

Is that your best price today?

0:27:110:27:13

-It is.

-OK. I'm going to take your £100.

-OK, thank you.

-Jolly good.

-Thank you very much.

0:27:130:27:17

Great. Well, I can't wait to see these in the window.

0:27:170:27:20

There you are, it's about knowing your market and knowing when to

0:27:200:27:24

close the deal, and The Hammer is a true expert. He made a £20 profit.

0:27:240:27:28

The Lionheart has picked his target for his next sale

0:27:310:27:35

and he's taking a step back in time.

0:27:350:27:37

Here at the National Brewery Centre, bottles of beer are a bit of

0:27:370:27:40

a theme, as you can see with this wonderful old car.

0:27:400:27:44

That leads me to believe that this is probably the right place

0:27:440:27:47

to sell this.

0:27:470:27:49

-Hello.

-Hello, there.

-How are you?

0:27:510:27:54

I'm very well thank you. So, what have we here?

0:27:540:27:57

I saw this at the Ardingly Antiques Fair and I thought,

0:27:570:28:01

"Look at that, I know the perfect place for that"!

0:28:010:28:03

-Yes.

-And I just thought it was rare, but they seem to be everywhere!

0:28:030:28:07

But what do you think?

0:28:070:28:08

Not that rare, but unusual.

0:28:080:28:12

Unusual in as much as it's got a blue triangle as opposed to

0:28:120:28:15

a red triangle, so that makes it interesting from my point of view.

0:28:150:28:20

-So, OK, cut to the chase, do you like it?

-I do.

0:28:200:28:23

I was hoping to start the negotiations around 200, something like that.

0:28:230:28:27

Goodness gracious me, great balls of fire!

0:28:270:28:30

-Well, I don't think I could go quite that high.

-Make me an offer.

0:28:320:28:35

How about 150?

0:28:350:28:38

150, you've got a deal.

0:28:390:28:42

-Deal.

-Absolutely. Thank you.

0:28:420:28:43

I think that's fair.

0:28:430:28:45

Well, that's a £70 profit from that blast from the past, and James still

0:28:450:28:49

has the snuffbox to sell.

0:28:490:28:51

With 17 items to sell, James knows speed is of the essence.

0:28:510:28:55

In quick succession he racks up four more sales.

0:28:550:29:00

The Japanese box earns him a profit of £55.

0:29:000:29:04

The pair of frames nets him £20 profit.

0:29:040:29:08

The Victorian table bowl sells for £40 profit.

0:29:080:29:14

And, finally, James bags £20 profit for the nutcracker.

0:29:140:29:18

James may be feverishly offloading his mountain of items,

0:29:210:29:25

but John still has four purchases left to sell,

0:29:250:29:29

so to ease the stress our number-one antiques superstar lets off some steam.

0:29:290:29:34

MUSIC: "Are You Gonna Go My Way" by Lenny Kravitz

0:29:340:29:37

John Cameron, ladies and gentlemen, the coolest dad in the world!

0:29:380:29:41

James, if you beat that, it'll be the great rock 'n' roll swindle!

0:29:440:29:47

Yes, well, band practice over, where better

0:29:480:29:53

for our antiques rock god to go than his hairdressers?

0:29:530:29:56

But not to get that breathtaking barnet styled.

0:29:560:29:58

No, instead The Hammer is hoping he might be able to do a deal on his 1960s table.

0:29:580:30:03

I hope you like it.

0:30:050:30:07

-There we are.

-Oh, it's nice!

0:30:070:30:09

You like it?

0:30:090:30:10

-Yeah.

-Genuinely?

0:30:100:30:12

-I do like it. It's like a clover.

-It's nice, isn't it?

0:30:120:30:14

-And you girls are into the retro thing, aren't you?

-Yes, I am.

0:30:140:30:17

See how they've done it? That's cut out of there.

0:30:170:30:20

-If you lift that over, it fits on like a jigsaw.

-I see.

0:30:200:30:23

-That's quite smart, isn't it?

-Very clever.

0:30:230:30:25

Do you think you'd like to give this house room?

0:30:250:30:28

-I think so.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

0:30:280:30:30

Well, I think it's worth £100.

0:30:300:30:32

What do you reckon?

0:30:320:30:33

If I see this in a store, I'd probably think maybe £55, £60.

0:30:330:30:38

-Listen, you're rinsing me here!

-SHE LAUGHS

0:30:380:30:41

Get it, rinsing me?

0:30:410:30:43

How about 75 and it's a deal?

0:30:430:30:45

-75 and it's a deal?

-Yeah.

-Sam, do you know what?

0:30:450:30:48

I think that's a snip at 75 because you've got a deal.

0:30:480:30:52

It's more than a snip, Mr C! It's a profit of £35.

0:30:520:30:57

Both our heavyweights have made some cracking sales,

0:30:570:31:00

but who's surging ahead and who's slipping behind?

0:31:000:31:06

So far John 'The Hammer' Cameron has sold £325 worth

0:31:060:31:10

of antique fair items netting a sturdy profit of £155.

0:31:100:31:16

Rival James 'The Lionheart' Lewis has sold £470 worth of goods,

0:31:160:31:21

banking £280 profit.

0:31:210:31:24

The Lionheart may have opened a lead in today's battle,

0:31:240:31:27

but he's still got plenty more items to sell.

0:31:270:31:31

Hold tight, please!

0:31:310:31:32

To secure victory he needs to keep up the pressure,

0:31:320:31:36

so she's decided to take another step back in time.

0:31:360:31:39

He's heading for the National Tramway Museum,

0:31:390:31:42

armed with the two metal signs he bought for £68.

0:31:420:31:45

Well, as you can see by looking around - look on the end of that building there -

0:31:450:31:49

they are full of these old enamel signs.

0:31:490:31:53

They're everywhere, so this is the very logical home for my signs.

0:31:530:31:57

What do you think?

0:32:010:32:03

-Shall we just have a closer look at it?

-OK.

0:32:030:32:07

I'm certainly very happy about both of them

0:32:070:32:10

and happy to attempt to acquire them.

0:32:100:32:12

Shall we, say, start at £100?

0:32:120:32:16

I think that's a fair offer.

0:32:160:32:18

-I think it's on the conservative side though.

-Yes.

0:32:180:32:23

I'm against John Cameron and it's Derbyshire versus Hampshire, so come on!

0:32:230:32:27

OK, how about 150 the two?

0:32:290:32:32

130 and we can offer you a tram ride.

0:32:320:32:36

-130, you've got a deal.

-Thank you.

0:32:360:32:38

The Lionheart pockets £62 profit for the metal signs

0:32:380:32:41

and, during his tram ride, The Lion with a soft heart is overcome

0:32:410:32:46

by a sudden bout of generosity.

0:32:460:32:48

-There you go.

-Oh, brilliant!

0:32:480:32:51

-Thank you very much.

-It's yours, it's a present.

0:32:520:32:55

-Thank you very much.

-My pleasure.

0:32:550:32:57

Having already made the profit he came for,

0:32:570:32:59

James is happy to give away his bus badge

0:32:590:33:01

and he doesn't look back because he's a man on a mission.

0:33:010:33:05

He sells his tea caddy for £25 profit.

0:33:070:33:10

The bronze statue he bought for £5 makes a £55 profit.

0:33:110:33:16

And there's £50 profit on the mussel shell snuffbox.

0:33:180:33:22

As The Lionheart's sales mounts, so does the pressure on The Hammer.

0:33:250:33:29

Our man's not wilting though,

0:33:290:33:31

and he's hoping his next sale will keep his own profit-ometer rising.

0:33:310:33:35

I've come to Hayling Island to meet a writer and publisher I know

0:33:370:33:41

who is a Beatles fan.

0:33:410:33:43

Not only that, but my Beatles jugs that I've bought

0:33:430:33:46

have a nice link to the place he lives.

0:33:460:33:48

Well, The Hammer's obviously thought this one through,

0:33:500:33:53

but can he seal the deal?

0:33:530:33:54

They're nicely done, aren't they?

0:33:540:33:57

-Do you want to know what I think of them, honestly?

-Go on.

0:33:570:34:01

I think...

0:34:010:34:03

they're hideous.

0:34:030:34:05

I think they're tasteless. I think they're tacky.

0:34:050:34:09

Oh, this could be a bit of a disaster.

0:34:090:34:12

And I love them!

0:34:120:34:13

Hallelujah! The Hammer's instincts were bang on.

0:34:130:34:16

I'm glad you added that last bit there, Stuart, I really am!

0:34:160:34:19

I love them in an ironic way.

0:34:190:34:21

You're going to love them even more cos there's a story about these.

0:34:210:34:25

Now, you see on the bottom there, "Modelled by Ray Noble,"

0:34:250:34:28

-who lived literally a mile from where we are now.

-Wow!

0:34:280:34:31

Do you like them even more now?

0:34:310:34:33

They're coming home! That depends on the price, of course.

0:34:330:34:36

All right, well, since you mention it, I think that they're worth £180.

0:34:360:34:41

So what do you think?

0:34:410:34:43

-STUART EXHALES

-£180.

0:34:430:34:45

-I could do 150.

-150?

0:34:450:34:48

Do you know what?

0:34:480:34:49

-I love you, yeah, yeah, yeah.

-That's a deal.

-Good.

0:34:490:34:52

Cor, it looked bad there for a minute,

0:34:520:34:54

but The Hammer walks away with £50 profit.

0:34:540:34:58

The Lionheart still has five items left to sell and time is running out.

0:34:580:35:03

So, he decides to put three of them into auction with no reserve price.

0:35:030:35:08

Could be risky.

0:35:080:35:10

First up is the miniature portrait.

0:35:100:35:12

I think I paid a little bit too much money for it,

0:35:120:35:15

so if I make a profit on that I'll be thrilled.

0:35:150:35:18

At £120 I'm bid. 120. All done?

0:35:180:35:21

Quite sure? Finished and away at £120.

0:35:210:35:23

You're out on the 'net.

0:35:230:35:24

-Selling and away at 120.

-That's not good. That is not good at all.

0:35:240:35:29

Oh, The Lionheart isn't happy.

0:35:290:35:31

He makes a small loss of just over £6 including selling fees.

0:35:310:35:34

Next up, the bust James bought for just under £32.

0:35:340:35:40

At 140 I'm bid. 140.

0:35:400:35:42

140. 140. Shall we say 50, quickly?

0:35:420:35:44

It's in the room at 100... 150.

0:35:440:35:45

I'm bid 150. At 150. I'm bid 150.

0:35:450:35:48

I'm bid 150. Are we all finished? On the 'net and sold and away at £150.

0:35:480:35:53

-Finished.

-I'm thrilled with that.

0:35:530:35:55

150, great result.

0:35:550:35:58

Mmm. Things are looking up.

0:35:580:36:00

That's a profit of just over £73 after auction costs.

0:36:000:36:04

The last lot under the hammer is the small felt chest.

0:36:040:36:09

£28 I'm bid. Are we all done?

0:36:090:36:11

Quite sure? Finished and away.

0:36:110:36:13

It'll make a lovely jewellery box, this will. At £28 and sold.

0:36:130:36:16

The Lionheart makes a profit of just over £9 including fees,

0:36:160:36:21

so he walks away from the auction with just over £76 in profit.

0:36:210:36:27

The Hammer is desperate to score some major profits of his own

0:36:290:36:33

on his last two purchases.

0:36:330:36:34

He's picked out a local pub with a collection of lanterns

0:36:340:36:37

as the ideal target for his next potential sale.

0:36:370:36:41

I think this is copper under all this paint.

0:36:410:36:43

I've cleaned up the glass, it's come up quite nice,

0:36:430:36:46

but if you get this stripped off with some paint stripper

0:36:460:36:49

you'd have a nice copper shiny lamp under here.

0:36:490:36:52

-Do you like it? It's an early gas one.

-Mm-hm.

0:36:520:36:54

-Go on, 150.

-Can't squeeze another tenner out of you?

0:36:540:36:57

160?

0:36:570:36:59

160?

0:37:000:37:02

155?

0:37:030:37:04

155, you've got yourself a deal.

0:37:040:37:07

There's no messing from John and he pockets £55 profit.

0:37:070:37:12

In response, The Lionheart turns his attention to his most expensive buy -

0:37:140:37:18

the mahogany side cabinet he bought for £190.

0:37:180:37:23

He's lined up an appointment at a local boutique hotel

0:37:230:37:26

in the hope that owner Tim will be interested in it.

0:37:260:37:28

So, you've seen the image.

0:37:280:37:30

What do you think to the actual furniture, do you like it?

0:37:300:37:33

I'll turn it over and have a bit more of a look.

0:37:330:37:35

-OK.

-But I think it's quite handsome. The proportions are good.

0:37:350:37:39

I was just wondering about the veneers on these little doors,

0:37:390:37:42

which seem more ambitious and elaborate than the rest of the mahogany.

0:37:420:37:47

I thought that as well, until you come down here

0:37:470:37:49

and there's a little rectangular panel...

0:37:490:37:52

Yeah, good point. That is a similar kind of veneer.

0:37:520:37:55

-It marries it beautifully.

-Yeah.

0:37:550:37:57

I thought it was a marriage when I bought it. I think now it did actually start life together.

0:37:570:38:02

Why don't we see if we can find a spot for it,

0:38:020:38:05

because I think if we can, it's just the sort of thing that would look well in a house like this.

0:38:050:38:11

It's a bit earlier than the house, but never mind.

0:38:110:38:14

Let's see if we can find somewhere for it

0:38:140:38:16

and if we can, see if we can do a deal.

0:38:160:38:18

-OK.

-Would you mind giving me a lift?

0:38:180:38:20

-Not at all.

-Thank you. Which way shall we go?

0:38:200:38:22

-Let's go this way.

-Past the croquet lawn.

0:38:220:38:25

Help!

0:38:320:38:33

The Hammer has travelled to Kent to try and sell

0:38:330:38:36

his last and most expensive item, the Lladro statue he bought for £150.

0:38:360:38:42

He's made contact with a goat sanctuary,

0:38:420:38:45

hoping that the subject of his statue will appeal.

0:38:450:38:48

Well, they're very friendly.

0:38:480:38:50

Very friendly indeed!

0:38:500:38:51

I'm just hoping it doesn't like my jacket!

0:38:510:38:54

Right, here's another one that I'm hoping we'll be able to add to...

0:38:540:38:57

He just bit my ar... He just bit the microphone pack!

0:38:570:39:01

Oh, nasty!

0:39:010:39:03

The Hammer nearly turns the air blue, but soon recovers his composure.

0:39:030:39:07

-Can you tell me a little bit about it?

-Of course.

0:39:070:39:09

It's made by the very famous factory of Lladro.

0:39:090:39:12

This particular piece - a sculptural piece - is quite scarce

0:39:120:39:15

and they're very expensive when they're first made.

0:39:150:39:18

I found two that are for sale other than this one,

0:39:180:39:21

both of which are in America.

0:39:210:39:23

One of those is for 2,300,

0:39:230:39:26

which is about £1,500.

0:39:260:39:28

The other one is 1,250, which is about £800 at today's exchange.

0:39:280:39:33

I'm not asking you anything like that,

0:39:330:39:36

but I'm going to ask you £300 for it.

0:39:360:39:39

That's a bit more than I was thinking of. 245?

0:39:390:39:42

Oh, come on. There's still a good profit in this.

0:39:420:39:45

All right, my final offer - 255.

0:39:450:39:48

-260, come on.

-255.

-255?

-Yeah.

0:39:480:39:51

OK, 255. You've got yourself a deal.

0:39:510:39:54

-OK. And you've now got yourself another goat.

-Jolly good!

0:39:540:39:58

Another one for the herd.

0:39:580:39:59

Well, John overcomes a goat attack and some determined haggling

0:39:590:40:04

to seal a profit of £105.

0:40:040:40:06

James, on the other hand, still has a couple of items left to sell,

0:40:070:40:11

but he makes a radical decision with one of them.

0:40:110:40:16

The thing is, if you use your heart, you often make mistakes

0:40:160:40:19

and you buy things that nobody else would want.

0:40:190:40:21

It's commercially a nightmare.

0:40:210:40:23

The good thing is, though, if you use your heart,

0:40:230:40:26

you don't mind living with them afterwards.

0:40:260:40:28

I quite like this. Good job really!

0:40:280:40:30

Oh, it's not like The Lionheart to admit defeat.

0:40:310:40:35

He's having to keep his tribal mask, which leaves him with a £100 loss.

0:40:350:40:38

So his fortunes now depend on the sale of his side cabinet.

0:40:380:40:43

We'll find out later if James managed to secure the price he needs for victory.

0:40:430:40:47

Time now to tot up the totals

0:40:470:40:50

and reveal who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:40:500:40:54

The Lionheart and The Hammer both had up to £750 of their own money

0:40:550:40:59

to spend at the antiques fair.

0:40:590:41:01

John bagged himself six items spending a total of £520,

0:41:010:41:07

while James bought in bulk, splashing out £743 on a whopping 17 items.

0:41:070:41:14

All the profit James and John have made over a week's challenges

0:41:140:41:17

will be going to their chosen charities,

0:41:170:41:19

so without further ado, it's time to find out

0:41:190:41:22

who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.

0:41:220:41:26

-Mr Lewis!

-Mr Cameron, how are you?

-I'm all right.

-Very well.

0:41:260:41:30

I bet those coat stands saved your bacon.

0:41:300:41:32

Not quite saved my bacon, but they were a couple of pigs, that's for sure!

0:41:320:41:36

I still made a profit though,

0:41:360:41:38

but the best thing I sold was my Lladro sculpture.

0:41:380:41:40

-My best thing?

-Go on.

0:41:400:41:42

-My mask.

-Your mask?

0:41:420:41:44

The best thing about it... I've still got it!

0:41:440:41:46

Right. OK, come on, look, put me out of my misery.

0:41:460:41:49

-OK.

-On three.

-One...

-One, two, three.

0:41:510:41:52

-Oh, ho!

-Hang on a second!

0:41:520:41:55

-How did you do that?

-Come on.

0:41:550:41:57

So it's a victory for James thanks to the sale of the side cabinet.

0:41:590:42:04

You've got a deal. Super. Thank you very much.

0:42:040:42:07

The Lionheart more than doubles his money with a profit of £210,

0:42:070:42:11

ensuring a handsome victory.

0:42:110:42:14

Well, beaten at the antiques fair by the Dick Dastardly of Derbyshire,

0:42:140:42:19

James Lewis. But, a consolation, I made £365 for my charity.

0:42:190:42:26

I'm really surprised at that end result.

0:42:260:42:28

At the end of the day, I spent a lot more money than he did

0:42:280:42:31

and, I guess, as Del and Rodney would say, he who dares wins, he who dares wins.

0:42:310:42:38

Yes, you can't keep a good man down.

0:42:380:42:40

and there's still more challenges to come before our dealers' profits can be banked,

0:42:400:42:45

starting with tomorrow when The Hammer gets the chance to even the score

0:42:450:42:48

as our two warring warriors go head to head at an auction.

0:42:480:42:52

-No, that's not mine.

-Well, just show yours anyway. 1976.

0:42:520:42:55

-Same number?

-Yeah.

-1976.

0:42:550:42:56

-You're paying for it now!

-I'm not!
