0:00:02 > 0:00:07This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:07 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14and gives you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.
0:00:16 > 0:00:21Coming up, our dealers give you the lowdown on supply and demand...
0:00:21 > 0:00:26There are a couple of companies now that have set up buying discontinued pottery such as these.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30..James reveals an important tool for detecting the real deal...
0:00:30 > 0:00:33- DEVICE BLEEPS - That's the noise it makes if it's a diamond.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36..and how saleroom pressure can make a dealer dizzy.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38NR. What's NR?
0:00:38 > 0:00:39- No reserve.- No reserve!
0:00:53 > 0:00:58Today's extravaganza pitches two renowned auctioneers against each other,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02as Put Your Money veterans John "The Hammer" Cameron
0:01:02 > 0:01:04and James "The Lionheart" Lewis
0:01:04 > 0:01:09go head to head in a battle to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13As my grandfather said, it's cheap enough to throw at the cat to make the baby laugh.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18The stakes in this competition couldn't be higher. It's the Pride of Portsmouth...
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Don't suppose you've got a loop I can borrow, have you?
0:01:21 > 0:01:22Fantastic. What a gentleman.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25..versus the Demon Dealer from Derbyshire...
0:01:25 > 0:01:29That is worth much more than £20.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33..risking their reputations and their own hard-earned cash in a battle
0:01:33 > 0:01:38that will test their knowledge and their contact books to the absolute limit.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Our two masters of the gavel have got up to £1,000 of their own money to spend,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48and over a week of challenges their mission is to make the most profit,
0:01:48 > 0:01:51all of which will be going to their chosen charities.
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Come on, let's get on with it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Today's battleground is Waterman's auction house in Kent.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It's a general sale, so there'll be a whole mix of items
0:02:00 > 0:02:02and the bona fide antiques will be at a premium,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05so our experts will need to think laterally about which pieces
0:02:05 > 0:02:08they go for in order to turn the biggest profits.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12In this mighty battle, there can be only one winner.
0:02:12 > 0:02:19John Cameron and James Lewis, it's time to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21Good to see you. Morning.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Good to see you. Have you got your money?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- I have. That I do have.- £1,000?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28£50 notes. Haven't seen those in years!
0:02:28 > 0:02:29A man of style. Do you know what,
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- I think your challenge today is going to be trying to spend it all. - Oh, really?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36At the risk of sounding cruel, we're not spoilt for choice today.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Good start. Lawnmower, lawnmower, lawnmower.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43- But there's going to be better things inside, I reckon. - Well, let's hope so, fellas!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Remember, this is a general sale,
0:02:45 > 0:02:49so the challenge will be to look at all the options and go for anything
0:02:49 > 0:02:52that you might be able to turn a profit on. The stage is set.
0:02:52 > 0:02:58Can our two heavy-hitting auctioneers turn their years of selling experience on the rostrum
0:02:58 > 0:03:02into effective and successful buying strategies?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04This is a genuine house clearance saleroom,
0:03:04 > 0:03:08so they don't know what's coming in through the doors until they do the clearances.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12So what I'm going to do is I'm going to bid on a load of stuff right across the board,
0:03:12 > 0:03:16and hopefully buy lots of things of low value and make lots of small profits.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Hopefully, that way the result will be good.
0:03:18 > 0:03:24So, The Lionheart is under no illusions about the kind of stock that will be available today
0:03:24 > 0:03:30and so he'll be aiming to buy up a high volume of small value items to turn profits.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34What I'm going to do is utilise the contacts I have made through the auction house
0:03:34 > 0:03:37and buy things with specific people in mind,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41but I'm still taking a gamble because I'm not real sure that they'll actually
0:03:41 > 0:03:44want these goods when they see them, but I think that's my best strategy.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48I may well come across something that's a little bit quirky and take a chance on that,
0:03:48 > 0:03:52but, really, I want to try and buy things with potential buyers out there.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56And so The Hammer will be scouring his catalogue hoping to pick out
0:03:56 > 0:03:59items he can match to his potential buyers.
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Both our duelling dealers know they're going to need to work extra hard to find
0:04:04 > 0:04:09the profit turners at this kind of auction, so there's no time to lose.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12The Lionheart goes straight for the furniture.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15This catalogue's great - it tells you what the reserves are.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And on 478, here, £25.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22On 479, nothing, no reserve!
0:04:22 > 0:04:25No reserve grabs The Lionheart's attention
0:04:25 > 0:04:31because it usually means cheap, while John is thinking about his buyers.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33I've spotted a potentially interesting item,
0:04:33 > 0:04:37not something I'd normally go for, so I'm really going off-piste.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's a communion set, a little cased box set.
0:04:39 > 0:04:45It probably dates from the early 20th century. I happen to know a Eucharist down in Portsmouth
0:04:45 > 0:04:50who may well be interested in buying this as a gift for somebody taking their first Holy Communion.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Profit is going to be a hard thing here today.
0:04:52 > 0:04:59So John is clearly sticking to his strategy like glue, but will it end with him rejoicing or repenting?
0:04:59 > 0:05:02We'll find out later, as it's time for the bidding to begin.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, we start off with lot number one, which is the petrol lawnmower.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12This is the sort of auction I used to run when I first graduated from university.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14We called it a shutter sale, and we sold everything.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16We'd get the sale ready every two weeks,
0:05:16 > 0:05:20and you just didn't know what you were going to find from one week to the next.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Yes, our boys know this isn't going to be easy,
0:05:23 > 0:05:27but they're primed and ready for action, and it's The Hammer who makes the first move.
0:05:27 > 0:05:34Right, a pair of garden plant pots, lot 124. At 24, sir? 26. 28.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39£30, sir. 32. 34. 36.
0:05:39 > 0:05:4238, sir? £40. 42. I'm selling at £40.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Last time. At £40, now. 1976.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, with a determined chin,
0:05:49 > 0:05:52The Hammer strikes and gets his first purchase under his belt.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56He forks out £45, including buyer's premium,
0:05:56 > 0:05:57for a pair of stone planters,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00taking a closer look once the auction's over.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03They're nice. They're very, very stylish,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07and when I first saw them, I thought, "What do they remind me of?"
0:06:07 > 0:06:13They do look a bit like an hourglass, but I think they're stylish and I reckon I'll find a punter for these.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18Well, with a potential buyer in mind, John seems confident.
0:06:18 > 0:06:19Back to the auction,
0:06:19 > 0:06:25and The Hammer's straight into the action as another item on his wish list goes under the gavel.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27A nice little communion set there. £20 for it?
0:06:27 > 0:06:2818?
0:06:28 > 0:06:34- Come down to 15, then. Nobody at 15 on it?- Come on, Mr C, keep up!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36At £13, the little communion set.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- No bidders?
0:06:37 > 0:06:3913 I have. Both of you?
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Selling at 13. Last time at £13.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44- £13, lucky for some. - Did you see that?
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- I stuck my hand up for you. - You're a good man.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- You're a good man.- Aww, well, we all need a little help from our friends
0:06:50 > 0:06:54from time to time and, thankfully for a distracted John,
0:06:54 > 0:06:57James was straight in there to secure the communion set
0:06:57 > 0:07:00on his behalf for just under £15 with the buyer's premium.
0:07:00 > 0:07:06The auction is starting to sizzle, and The Lionheart has fallen for a very lovely lady.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10OK, next we've got the original signed Angelina Jolie photo. I'll take a tenner for that one.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15Ten I've got straight in at the back, now. 12 anywhere now? At £10.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16That's for you really, isn't it?
0:07:16 > 0:07:19- Your number, sir?- Oh, number!
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- No, that's not mine. - Just show yours anyway.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25- 1976.- Same number?- Yeah.- 1976.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- You're paying for it now! - No, I'm not!
0:07:27 > 0:07:31Do you get the feeling these two aren't quite on the ball?
0:07:31 > 0:07:35So far we've seen James bid for John, and now James is using John's number to pay for his purchases.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Come on, boys, a little focus, please!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41So, for just over £11
0:07:41 > 0:07:44James has bought himself a signed print of Angelina Jolie.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48And now he's dipped his toe in the water,
0:07:48 > 0:07:52The Lionheart plunges in with merry abandon, bidding on a whole series of cheap lots.
0:07:54 > 0:07:551978, sir.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00First in the booty bag is a giant corkscrew for a total of £9.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Then The Lionheart assembles an army of pewter soldiers for £13.50.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Two ceramic flagons, NR. What's NR?
0:08:11 > 0:08:12- No reserve.- No reserve!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18James, you've only got three salerooms!
0:08:18 > 0:08:24- 1978.- But James still secures two ceramic flagons for £13.50.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So that's four purchases in quick succession for The Lionheart,
0:08:28 > 0:08:29double that of his opponent.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33But, earlier on, The Hammer spotted a lot with real promise.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Now, this could be potentially interesting.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40It's a Royal Doulton tea set. You've got the pattern on the bottom here.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43It's the Burgundy pattern, which is now out of production.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45I think it was discontinued in the early '80s.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48And there are a couple of companies now that have set up
0:08:48 > 0:08:54buying discontinued pottery and ceramic porcelain services such as these, and you can pay for them.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Often you pay quite high sums for them.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Auctioneers have got it down at £30.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02I think I could buy it for that and probably turn a small profit on it.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05It's not going to bring me all the tea in China, though, is it?
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So whilst James is all about spending fast and often,
0:09:09 > 0:09:15John seems to be taking a more cautious and clinical approach by earmarking targeted purchases.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18It's supposed to be quite a rare whisky, this one.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21James is throwing himself into the bidding once more,
0:09:21 > 0:09:25and it's a bottle of William Lawson whisky from 1960 that's caught his eye.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28£20? 20 I've got, straight in.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34Two anywhere now? Selling at 20, are we? Last time at £20, now. 1978.
0:09:34 > 0:09:40A bottle of normal malt's worth that, isn't it? So I'm hoping that might have been a bargain.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Well, let's hope so, James, as you were the only bidder in the room.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48With buyer's premium, that lot has cost James £22.50.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51It's whisky for The Lionheart,
0:09:51 > 0:09:53but tiffin and cream cakes for The Hammer,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56if he can bid successfully on the next lot.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'll come down to 20 on that if it helps. Nobody at 20? 20 I've got.
0:09:59 > 0:10:011976.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05For just £22.50, with premium,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08The Hammer's bagged another of his targets.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13Time for us to find out who's spent what so far in today's challenge.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Our dealing duo both started today
0:10:16 > 0:10:20with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:10:20 > 0:10:25So far John has secured three items and spent just over £82,
0:10:25 > 0:10:29leaving him with just under £918 in his kitty.
0:10:29 > 0:10:31James, on the other hand,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35has bought five items that cost him just under £70,
0:10:35 > 0:10:40which means there's still a little over £930 left for him to spend.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Earlier in the day, before the bidding began,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48our contenders poured over the lots on offer.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50With profit margins the key to victory,
0:10:50 > 0:10:54telling the gems from the junk at this stage is absolutely crucial.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58What is that? I don't know.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01I'm talking to myself again!
0:11:01 > 0:11:04The Hammer was on the lookout for items he could match to buyers,
0:11:04 > 0:11:09- and being from a naval stronghold, it's no surprise he was drawn to one item.- Thank you very much.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Now, it's just a little gold mounted badge
0:11:11 > 0:11:16that a naval officer or an officer's wife may have well worn when they're on parade
0:11:16 > 0:11:21or perhaps when they're at one of the big functions they have down at the officers' mess in Portsmouth.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25The auctioneers have only got £14 on it as a reserve, so I'm going to keep my eye on it.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30It won't return me a huge profit, but I am struggling to find items to buy here today.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36The Lionheart's aim was to buy a high volume of small value items with profit potential.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39He's spotted what he thought could be a gem of a piece,
0:11:39 > 0:11:45and he's got a little gadget up his sleeve that will tell him for certain whether he's right.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49They've catalogued that as a costume jewellery brooch with an estimate of £20.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55That, I'm 90% sure, is sapphire, diamond and solid gold.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58And if it is, it's £500.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00I'm going to go and get a tester and we'll see.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08For us amateurs, who aren't specialist jewellers, these are really useful things.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10It's a diamond tester...
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- TESTER BLEEPS - ..and that's the noise that it makes if it's a diamond.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17So, if it touches the metal...
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- TESTER BLEEPS RAPIDLY - ..it sounds like that.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Please let this be a diamond!
0:12:23 > 0:12:24TESTER BLEEPS
0:12:24 > 0:12:28Bingo! It is!
0:12:28 > 0:12:32That is worth much more than £20!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35There are two other brooches in the same lot.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39What a fantastic piece of espionage from our auction room James Bond.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42He's spotted what is clearly the find of the day,
0:12:42 > 0:12:49but the question will be whether anyone else in the saleroom has spied the same hidden gem.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53With antiques in limited supply, The Hammer has opted to step out of his comfort zone,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57loosen his strategy and look further afield.
0:12:57 > 0:13:02Now, this is an interesting piece. It's a piece of tribal art, basically.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07Now, I can't profess to be an expert, we just don't see enough of it down in the auction houses in Hampshire.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11But there are pieces now making hundreds of thousands of pounds.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14It's been painted recently, but it's certainly got a bit of age to it.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Now, I think this is something that The Lion may well get his teeth into,
0:13:17 > 0:13:20because he does have a love affair with Africa,
0:13:20 > 0:13:23so I'm certainly going to make a mark against it in the catalogue,
0:13:23 > 0:13:26and if he is after it, I might have to give him a run for his money.
0:13:26 > 0:13:32So, John fancies moving into the territory more usually associated with The Lionheart,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37but as we return to the auction, James is more interested in bidding on another item.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40It's the weather vane out the back now. A nice big weather vane.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Start me off at 30. No bids at 30?
0:13:42 > 0:13:4530 I've got right at the back now.
0:13:45 > 0:13:4732. 35?
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- One more.- 35 I've got. Selling at £35 now.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53For the last time at 35.
0:13:54 > 0:13:571978. £35.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03With buyer's premium, James bags the weather vane for just over £39.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07And, within the blink of an eye, he's bidding on another item.
0:14:07 > 0:14:101978.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12(That is all right at 25 quid.)
0:14:12 > 0:14:15For just over £28 including fees,
0:14:15 > 0:14:18The Lionheart acquires a finely made walking cane,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22and takes a closer look once bidding is over.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26That is made of hundreds of rings of horn.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Possibly from a cow horn, possibly stag horn.
0:14:29 > 0:14:35The thing that I like about it is it's unusual, it's a novelty, but it's not an ivory one.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Nothing has been killed for this. This is a by-product.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41And look at all of those rings. They start large
0:14:41 > 0:14:46and they go all the way down the shaft
0:14:46 > 0:14:48to tiny ones at the tip.
0:14:48 > 0:14:52And on the end we've got a piece of bone there with a brass tip.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55This stick was made around 1850, 1860.
0:14:55 > 0:15:03And at less than £30, this is a real bargain. I hope to at least double my money.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06There's still plenty of bidding to do back in the saleroom,
0:15:06 > 0:15:13and up next is the naval badge John spotted earlier, but can our wily old sea dog net his catch?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Still 22 in there. Four anywhere now? 24. 26?
0:15:16 > 0:15:2024 still. Six anywhere now? Selling at 24.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24Last time at £24. 1976.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26£24, nine carat gold, Royal Navy.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29That is a fantastic buy.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Even his opposition is impressed.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34With auction costs,
0:15:34 > 0:15:37The Hammer has secured his navy veteran's badge for £27.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40The auction is in full flow,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43and next up is the diamond brooch The Lionheart hopes no-one else spotted.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Right, we've got 399.
0:15:45 > 0:15:52And a bit of interest here starts me off at £100. Looking for 110.
0:15:52 > 0:15:54110 I've got right at the back.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57I'm out, he's in. There's someone on the phone.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02Well, it seems the other eagle-eyed dealers also spied the potential profit in the brooch.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05320. 330. 340.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08The price is rising sharply, and so is the tension.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12I'm going to sell it at 460. 470. 480.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Oh, and James is out.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Well, I gave him a good run for the money. A phone bid came in.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22The brooch is just too expensive for The Lionheart's profit-calculating brain.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24740 I've got. You've done it.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27760 is out. Looking for 750.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- Last time at 740. - GAVEL GOES DOWN
0:16:30 > 0:16:34That was a good battle. Nothing better than a good battle.
0:16:34 > 0:16:35APPLAUSE
0:16:35 > 0:16:39The brooch sells in the end for a whopping £740.
0:16:42 > 0:16:47As today's sale races into its final stages, it's time for our brave boys to dig deep,
0:16:47 > 0:16:50get stuck in and show us how they do it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54# This is how we do it
0:16:54 > 0:16:56# All hands are in the air
0:16:56 > 0:16:58# And wave them from here to there
0:16:58 > 0:17:01# If you're an OG Mack or a wannabe player... #
0:17:01 > 0:17:05And there you have it, the full gamut of bidding techniques.
0:17:05 > 0:17:11But this auction is fiercely competitive, and our warriors still have money to spend.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14So far John has just four items,
0:17:14 > 0:17:19but he's looking to increase his haul as the ethnic mask goes under the hammer.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's the African tribal death mask, this one.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25A tenner? Nobody at ten? Seven, then?
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Seven I've got. Eight anywhere now? Selling at £7, are we?
0:17:29 > 0:17:34Last time, then, at seven. Eight. Nine. Ten? Nine I've got.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36And selling at £9.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Nine quid. That's cheap enough just to scare the kids with it!
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Well, that was easy enough.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45With buyer's premium added,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48John purchased the African piece for a little over £10.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Selling at £10 right at the back there.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53James bags himself a highly collectable
0:17:53 > 0:17:57and potentially profitable film poster for just over £11.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01And he's not the only one looking for artistic inspiration.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04John has got his eye on a lot of six paintings depicting
0:18:04 > 0:18:08the dramatic rescues of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.
0:18:08 > 0:18:1134. 36. 38.
0:18:11 > 0:18:1340? No? 38, still.
0:18:13 > 0:18:1640 anywhere now? Selling, last time, then, at 38.
0:18:16 > 0:18:21Well, I'm really pleased with that. £38. I can't believe I bought those.
0:18:21 > 0:18:28I know that stormy, rough seas with ships sinking aren't the most commercial maritime subjects,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31but that I think is my bargain of the day.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35So for just under £43 with buyer's premium
0:18:35 > 0:18:37John secures the set of six prints.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45As the saleroom starts to wind down, James is hurling himself into a spate of quick-fire buying...
0:18:45 > 0:18:471978.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51..notching up another five purchases in next to no time.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54# Five, four,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57# Three, two, one... #
0:18:57 > 0:19:03First up it's a pastel painting costing James just over £29.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06This film poster is his for just over £29.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11These two majolica vases cost him £22.50.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Three movie posters are his for just under £34.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19And finally comes The Lionheart's biggest spend of the day,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22just under £124 on a padauk wood stool.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Well, at least I've spent some money!
0:19:26 > 0:19:28What a finish from The Lionheart!
0:19:28 > 0:19:32James spends £230.50, including buyer's premium,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34on those five items.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37And after that flurry of spending, the buying is over.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Thank you very, very much for coming.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41See you all in a fortnight.
0:19:41 > 0:19:47Auction over, The Lionheart takes the chance to have a closer look at his biggest purchase.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49This is padauk wood.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Chinese hardwood in the rosewood family.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Called rosewood because when you cut the trees down it smells of roses, nothing to do with rosebushes.
0:19:57 > 0:20:03That is lovely quality, and mother of pearl cabochon bosses all the way around the top.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05£300, I hope.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Both our experts have secured a veritable cornucopia of collectables.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13It's now time to take a look at how they've spent.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18John and James each started the day
0:20:18 > 0:20:22with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27John made six purchases costing a penny over £162,
0:20:27 > 0:20:34while James spent £387 on 13 items, unlucky for some!
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Before they head their separate ways to start selling, our duelling dealers
0:20:41 > 0:20:43take a peek at each other's wares.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- OK, it's the end of the day, so how many lots have you bought?- 13 lots.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49And your favourite lot?
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Your mask.- My mask! You like my mask?- I think that's great.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I think it's completely and utterly mad. What's yours?
0:20:56 > 0:21:00I don't think I fared much better. My favourite lot, actually, is your walking stick.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02- I missed that.- I like that.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- I like it, too. - A big profit in there, I hope. - Well, I think you might be right.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08How did you find being this side of the counter?
0:21:08 > 0:21:12Didn't like it. I really didn't like it. I'm much happier on the rostrum.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15You can control the bidding, try and get the bidding up.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17This side, it's a very negative approach.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21I'll tell you what, we've both got our work cut out here today,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24so let's waste no more time, let's get this stuff loaded up and get on with it.
0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Good luck, you.- All right. You, too.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Yeah, it reminds me of someone. Can't think who it is.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Now the challenge for James and John is to secure
0:21:33 > 0:21:37as much profit as possible on each of the items they've bought.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42As well as the African tribal mask stick, John will also be selling
0:21:42 > 0:21:47a Royal Doulton Burgundy pattern breakfast set, a communion set,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50this pair of retro stone planters,
0:21:50 > 0:21:56six framed lifeboat prints and a nine carat gold naval sweetheart badge.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Along with his walking stick, James also has to sell
0:22:00 > 0:22:06a corkscrew, a selection of pewter soldiers, two ceramic flagons,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10a 1960s bottle of whiskey, this weathervane,
0:22:10 > 0:22:17a selection of movie memorabilia, a framed pastel portrait,
0:22:17 > 0:22:22a pair of Majolica vases and this padauk wood and mother of pearl stool.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Our two gamekeepers turned poachers may have bagged themselves tidy auction hauls,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32but that's just the beginning.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36Our heavyweight auctioneers must now embark on their selling campaigns.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39The Prince of Portsmouth is preparing for battle.
0:22:39 > 0:22:43Having to actually become a dealer is a bit alien to me.
0:22:43 > 0:22:49I'm a bit like a fish out of water, but I do have a little bit of knowledge, it's fair to say,
0:22:49 > 0:22:54so hopefully, I'll be able to utilise some of those contacts and make some good sales and get some profits in.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59While The Lionheart is back in Derbyshire, a picture of calm and focus.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04The one thing about living in the Derbyshire countryside is you never,
0:23:04 > 0:23:09ever get stressed about having to sell antiques.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13They're both rifling through their little black books and setting up deals,
0:23:13 > 0:23:18but until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26It's The Hammer who's first out of the blocks.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29He's brought his African tribal mask to Portsmouth dealer, Ian,
0:23:29 > 0:23:33whose shop is renowned for its stock of the weird and wonderful.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- Hi, mate.- Hi, John.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- No-one in the shop?- No.
0:23:37 > 0:23:42- You're a rather trusting person these days.- It's Albert Road, isn't it? It's fine.
0:23:42 > 0:23:44Look, I brought this to show you.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46- It's like a skateboard!- Skateboard!
0:23:46 > 0:23:49It wouldn't take my weight! It's the plaque I told you about.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Yes, it's interesting.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54What do you think? Would something like this interest you?
0:23:54 > 0:23:59- I think it would sell in the shop. Put it up on the wall. 60 quid?- 60 quid?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Can you do any better than that?
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- What were you thinking? - I was thinking more like about 100.
0:24:04 > 0:24:09- No, no, no, I don't think so, John. 70 quid.- 75?
0:24:09 > 0:24:12- Go on, John, you've got me again. - Good man.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16The Hammer is off the mark with a handsome first profit of nearly £65.
0:24:19 > 0:24:26The Lionheart is also chasing his first sale, but for James it might not be so quick and easy.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32At least you can say weathervanes are fashionable around here, they're everywhere!
0:24:32 > 0:24:36Just need to find a buyer who will stump up the cash, Mr Lewis.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39There we go.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Dear me!
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- What do you think to it? - Magnificent!
0:24:45 > 0:24:51Isn't it? It's not an easy thing to wheel about, but... And you weren't an easy place to find, either.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53Well, we're well tucked away.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Well, I had some guidance with my weathervanes.- Yes.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59So, is it the sort of thing you like?
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yes, yes, I really do.
0:25:01 > 0:25:06- Well, the way you're talking means you want it.- I was trying not to... - Which is fantastic!
0:25:06 > 0:25:08Which gives me an awful lot of confidence!
0:25:08 > 0:25:15The thing that I liked about it was the harvester, if you look, is all made out of one piece.
0:25:15 > 0:25:22The letters aren't individual, they're all linked, which is not an easy thing to do.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25What would you like to give for it?
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Between 80 and 120.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28OK.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31How about 200?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34If I can get 175 I think we've got a deal.
0:25:34 > 0:25:41- That is a handsome profit for me and if you like it, I'm glad I've found it a really good home.- Lovely.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44The Lionheart shoots straight into the lead
0:25:44 > 0:25:48with a cracking first profit of just under £136.
0:25:50 > 0:25:55The Hammer is working through the checklist of potential customers he had in mind when he was buying.
0:25:55 > 0:26:00He's brought the pair of planters purchased for £45 to his local florist.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Ah, Soraya.
0:26:05 > 0:26:10- You weren't supposed to look at them until I had them here. What do you think?- How are you?
0:26:10 > 0:26:12- So?- They're amazing. Bigger than I thought.- Yeah?
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Can you tell me about them?
0:26:14 > 0:26:19I think they've got a bit of age to them. I reckon they're 1960s or 1970s.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24- There's a nice amount of lichen around them, so they've been well weathered.- They certainly have.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28- And when I saw them I thought they were very stylish.- Very retro.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I'd certainly give them house room.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- Definitely.- So, do you like them?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Yeah, I love them. What are they made of?
0:26:35 > 0:26:37They're reconstituted stone.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40So would you have these as a shop display or would you have them...
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I'd have them out the front of my shop
0:26:43 > 0:26:46and put some big hydrangeas in there to catch people's eye. Very cool.
0:26:46 > 0:26:52- Let's talk the money, then, OK? What do you reckon? - How much do you want for them?
0:26:52 > 0:26:55- I'm looking for about £150 for the pair.- They're a bit grubby.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Shabby chic, we called that.- I see.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01- What do you think they're worth? - I'll give you 120 for the pair.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04- £120?- Yeah. Do you know what?
0:27:04 > 0:27:07I can be having a deal with that. £120.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10- Just take them outside? - Come on, then.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12The Hammer continues to cultivate his coffers,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16netting a tasty £75 profit for the garden planters.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- There we are.- Very nice.- Wonderful.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21- Aren't they great?- It looks great, doesn't it?- Fantastic. - Really eye catching. Thanks, John.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25- You're welcome. Have you got some money for me?- I forgot about that!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30With 12 items still to sell,
0:27:30 > 0:27:34The Lionheart has decided to combine some of them into job lots.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36His first target is his friend, Alice.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40- Film posters.- Film posters? - Do you want to have a look?
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- Well, I'm definitely interested, but I do need to see them.- OK.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Original film posters in good condition are often keenly sought after collectables
0:27:48 > 0:27:52and James hopes they'll fit right in here.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54Well!
0:27:54 > 0:27:56- There we go.- My goodness!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58Look at all of those!
0:27:58 > 0:27:59I can't believe it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03I mean, are they just too expensive to use as wallpaper?
0:28:03 > 0:28:05That is exactly what I would do with them.
0:28:05 > 0:28:10- Yeah.- I would just plaster that entire wall, and even overlap them.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Exactly.- Gum them up. - That's what I'm thinking.- Yeah. - Where did you find them?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- In auction.- You did? - There's another one.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20- I've forgotten to put in the car my other one, Lady And The Tramp.- Oh, right.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23You can have that one. They've got lots of nice colours.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I really do like them. It is a good room for it.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28How much?
0:28:28 > 0:28:31I was thinking 120 quid.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37Well, I tell you what, I'll give you 100.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40Throw in Lady And The Tramp...
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- No...- £102!
0:28:42 > 0:28:48- No, throw in Lady And The Tramp and you can have the whole lot for 100. - Oh, really? Oh, bless you!
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Thank you, James. - This is where they belong.
0:28:50 > 0:28:56Yeah. And we'll invite you round for dinner, as well, so you can look at how gorgeous it looks.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Oh, The Lion with the soft centre.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02That's three auction purchases less to sell
0:29:02 > 0:29:05and just under £26 profit for our hero.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08And James presses on with his selling spree,
0:29:08 > 0:29:13offloading his pair of ceramic flagons for a small profit of £6.50
0:29:13 > 0:29:17and his five pewter soldiers for a profit of £36.50.
0:29:18 > 0:29:25As the profits stack up, which of our warriors is boxing clever and which one needs to punch harder?
0:29:27 > 0:29:32So far John has sold £195 worth of auction items netting a profit of
0:29:32 > 0:29:39almost £140, while James has managed to sell £345 worth of goods,
0:29:39 > 0:29:44banking a healthy profit of just over £204.
0:29:44 > 0:29:50The Lionheart has opened up a strong lead, but with plenty of items still to sell,
0:29:50 > 0:29:52The Hammer is far from out of the contest.
0:29:52 > 0:29:58He's headed to Bognor Regis to see his friend, Nicolas, a jeweller with a passion for the sea.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03I was hoping for about £200 for all of them. What do you reckon?
0:30:03 > 0:30:09I like them, but some of the frames do have a little bit of damage where they've been knocked about
0:30:09 > 0:30:11back and forth maybe from auction houses.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Six at 25 each would bring us to 150.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Nick, 150.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Even if it saves me having to wrap them all up again, 150 it is.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Thank you very much.
0:30:22 > 0:30:27And The Hammer sails away with just over £107 profit.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30He's looking to strike while the iron's hot, so he's come
0:30:30 > 0:30:35to Portsmouth Docks, a historic stronghold of the British Navy.
0:30:36 > 0:30:41I'm here at Portsmouth's Royal Naval Dockyard, home of HMS Victory,
0:30:41 > 0:30:47Nelson's flagship at Trafalgar, and HMS Warrior, the 19th century ironclad battleship.
0:30:47 > 0:30:53So what better place to try and sell my First World War nine carat gold Royal Naval sweetheart brooch?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Nestled among the dockyards is an antique storehouse specialising in
0:30:57 > 0:31:02maritime collectables and The Hammer's got an appointment with owner, Andrew.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Here we are. First World War.
0:31:04 > 0:31:10- Right.- Look at the hallmark, it's 1917.- It looks delicious.- They call them sweetheart brooches, don't they?
0:31:10 > 0:31:15Yeah, yeah. It's to give to your loved ones as you're going to sea and facing the enemy.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18I've seen quite a few now, different regiments and things like that.
0:31:18 > 0:31:23You usually get them in silver, but to actually have a gold one is, you know, relatively rare.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25And it's also very nice it's a Royal Navy one.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31You see so many for the Army regimental ones, and I've perhaps had 100 or so in the last year,
0:31:31 > 0:31:34but it's probably only the second Royal Navy one I've had.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36- Interested?- Could be, I haven't seen one for a while.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39I would happily go about £50 on that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43Can you do any better than that? I was hoping for about 80.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47I wouldn't go that far because I've my rent to pay, but it's a nice one.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- I'll go 60.- £60, then? - I'll do 60, that's great.- £60, done.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- Brilliant.- OK, thank you very much. I shall treasure that.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59The Hammer makes a nine carat profit of £33.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05The Lionheart knows that today's signed celebrity photo is tomorrow's antique.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07He's exploiting his local knowledge.
0:32:07 > 0:32:12Derby is the birthplace of Jolie's best known character, Lara Croft.
0:32:12 > 0:32:17He's decided to add value to the photo by framing it together with an Angelina Jolie poster.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20- Hi. How are you?- Hi, James. - Good to see you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:27The work costs him £41, but The Lionheart is delighted with the results of his extra investment.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Just look at that!
0:32:30 > 0:32:33That is how you transform a simple £10 photograph
0:32:33 > 0:32:36into something that will grace any nightclub,
0:32:36 > 0:32:40any entertainment suite and some of the biggest homes in the country.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42There is a profit in that now.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Bursting with energy, The Lionheart is taking Angelina to meet his friend Tim,
0:32:45 > 0:32:49and with a house like this, complete with its own games room,
0:32:49 > 0:32:54The Lionheart is hoping that Tim might be a good target for some of his other items.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57While you're looking at that, I'll fish out...
0:32:57 > 0:33:02- Wow!- That's nice.- What do you think to that?- That's good. Can you hold it up for me?
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Wow!- That's better.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07- Isn't she beautiful? - Is that a genuine...
0:33:07 > 0:33:08- That's a proper autograph?- Yeah.
0:33:08 > 0:33:16Proper signed photograph. I bought it just as the signed photograph and she was a full length poster.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- How much is that? £50?- No.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20It cost me more than that.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23I will give you for that today,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26without quibble, £150.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- This is an easy day for me.- Done?
0:33:31 > 0:33:33It's a deal. I'm not even arguing.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37That shows me a very handsome profit and it will look fab in here.
0:33:37 > 0:33:38- You're welcome. - It will look absolutely brilliant.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42The work pays off and James makes a profit
0:33:42 > 0:33:44of just under £98 for the signed print.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48The Lionheart is on a roll and sells the 1960s bottle of whiskey
0:33:48 > 0:33:49to Tim's friend, David.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51How's 80?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53£80 is absolutely brilliant.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55I'm absolutely thrilled with that. That's a great profit.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Pocketing £57.50 profit.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03And, without any haggling, David also decides to buy the corkscrew.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- I'll give you 50 quid for that. - You've got a deal.
0:34:06 > 0:34:08You've got a deal. Right, put that away!
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Delivering a £41 profit.
0:34:11 > 0:34:13If only every evening was this profitable, Mr Lewis!
0:34:13 > 0:34:19The pressure is on The Hammer now as The Lionheart snatches back the lead
0:34:19 > 0:34:21in the profit stakes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Unlike James, John is thinking more fine tea than whiskey and wine.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29He's arranged to see his friend Debbie and is hoping the Royal Doulton breakfast set
0:34:29 > 0:34:31might just be her cuppa.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36- It is really nice. It's a breakfast set?- Yeah, this is how I bought it.
0:34:36 > 0:34:42You've got four of each, so you've got four cups, saucers, side plates and breakfast plates, yeah?
0:34:42 > 0:34:48- And four egg cups. It's a breakfast set for four people.- I like the egg cups, but not this.- What's that?
0:34:48 > 0:34:52There's nothing wrong with your eyes, is there? I haven't noticed that. There's a chip.
0:34:52 > 0:34:59Oh, there may be a chip in one of the cups, but there's no sign of one in The Hammer's negotiating skills.
0:34:59 > 0:35:02I'm looking for about 150 for it.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- A bit lower?- Well, what would you want to pay for it?
0:35:10 > 0:35:14Between 90 and 100, and 100 being the max.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16£100. You would pay me £100?
0:35:16 > 0:35:18- I'll give you £100 today. - Let's have a deal.
0:35:18 > 0:35:22That's a healthy £77.50 profit for John,
0:35:22 > 0:35:26leaving him with just one more item to sell.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30James, on the other hand, still has four items to go.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32But The Lionheart isn't fretting.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36He's brought his walking stick, purchased for just over £28, to collector David.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41OK, James, come on through and let me see what you've got for you today, then.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43- What do you think? - I do like it, yeah.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48With the sort of longer ferrule, often they say that is a sign of age.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50- I quite like that.- Good.
0:35:50 > 0:35:53But, of course, it all depends on
0:35:53 > 0:35:56that well known factor, doesn't it?
0:35:56 > 0:35:58I hoped you might give me about 180.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Right, right.- How does that grab you?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05I would see it at perhaps at around about 150, maybe.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08- 160 and you've got a deal.- 160.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13OK, then. Yeah, it's a nice looking thing and I've never seen one.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15- I've never seen one. - It's got a nice taper.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20- That looks good.- You've got a deal. - We've got the deal.- 160, that's done.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23The Lionheart walks away with a cracking profit
0:36:23 > 0:36:25of just under £132 and heads for a
0:36:25 > 0:36:30dealer he knows in Doncaster with his pair of majolica vases.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Are they the sorts of things that you've got a market for?
0:36:33 > 0:36:38- Yes, James, I would say I have got a market for them.- OK.
0:36:38 > 0:36:42- And, obviously, it all depends on the price, you know?- I hate this part.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Because of the condition...
0:36:45 > 0:36:47In good order, they're worth a lot of money.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Yes, there's a few hundred pounds there, yeah.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54In that condition, James, I would have
0:36:54 > 0:36:55offered you £100.
0:36:57 > 0:37:04Just based on the condition, because they're going to cost quite a lot of money to get, you know, restored up.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06OK. I was hoping for nearer the two.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12I couldn't. 130, that would be the most I would want to give for them.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15It's going to be £100 to restore them, isn't it?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19- It is, yeah.- You've got a deal. - Lovely. Cheers.- Thanks very much.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- Thank you, James.- I think you'll do really well with them. - Thank you.- All right.- Cheers.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Have a good day.- Thank you.
0:37:25 > 0:37:31Another deal and another cracking profit for Mr Lewis of £107.50.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33But The Hammer hits back.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37He's gone to see his old school friend, Melvin, who's now a minister
0:37:37 > 0:37:41and could be the perfect buyer for the Communion set purchased for nearly £15.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- There we are.- Gorgeous, isn't it?
0:37:45 > 0:37:51Now, it dates, I think, looking at the box, to about 1920, something like that.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53So, what do you think of it?
0:37:53 > 0:37:56Well, the thing that first strikes me, really, is
0:37:56 > 0:37:58rather than the item, the emotion, really.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Because you could imagine this was probably used during, you know,
0:38:02 > 0:38:04First World War, Second World War.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08That those sort of times people would have clung on to their faith,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11so I could imagine this thing would have been used quite extensively.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13So, yeah, it's really nice.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16There's a little bit of staining inside the lid,
0:38:16 > 0:38:19which is why I've brought you one of my own white silk hankies,
0:38:19 > 0:38:23so if you buy this you can do one of your notorious repair jobs there,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25take this out and reline that.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- I'll accept it.- You like it, yeah? - Yeah, yeah. Absolutely.- Great.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31It pains me to have to talk about money
0:38:31 > 0:38:34when you've described this so beautifully.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37I'd like to take £40 for this.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40£40, would you? Would you take £25?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43I wasn't expecting you to come in so low. £25!
0:38:43 > 0:38:46- You can do better than that. - What's your best price?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48£35 for it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- 35, it's a deal.- love you like a brother, I'm glad you got this.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55£35, it's now yours. Cheers, mate.
0:38:55 > 0:39:01The Hammer nails his final deal, making a touch over £20 profit.
0:39:01 > 0:39:06The Lionheart still has two items left to sell and selling them is not proving easy,
0:39:06 > 0:39:11pushing James to take desperate measures with the pastel portrait and put it back into auction.
0:39:11 > 0:39:17Are you all done, then? You're quite sure? Finished and away at £32.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19There we go. £32, that's a loss.
0:39:19 > 0:39:24At the end of the day, I hated it and I'm really glad I got rid of it.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28Anyone who ends up with that, good luck, I hope you do better than I did.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Oh, the Lionheart is not best pleased to be making a loss after
0:39:32 > 0:39:37seller's fees of nearly £7, but he still has his most expensive
0:39:37 > 0:39:42purchase up his sleeve, the padauk wooden stool he bought for nearly £125.
0:39:42 > 0:39:49A dealer contact, Pat, has expressed an interest in it, but he's abroad, so dealing is done by phone.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53When I was at the auction I didn't plan to buy this at all.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56This was a last minute, "I've got to be something," purchase.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01But it might just turn out to be the saviour for me on this show.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03Here goes.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Hello, Pat, it's James.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Hi, there. Hi. I'm very well. Are you enjoying yourself on holiday?
0:40:10 > 0:40:15Well, this padauk wood stool that you saw the images of?
0:40:17 > 0:40:18Do you like it?
0:40:18 > 0:40:21We'll find out shortly if The Lionheart managed
0:40:21 > 0:40:29to seal his long distance deal, but first it's time to tot up the totals and reveal who's made the most cash.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33The Lionheart and The Hammer had up to £1,000 of their own money
0:40:33 > 0:40:34to spend at the auction.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39John was ultra cautious, spending just over £162,
0:40:39 > 0:40:44while James splashed out £387 at the auction,
0:40:44 > 0:40:49as well as just under £41 on framing the Angelina Jolie print,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52giving him a total spend of just under £428.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56All the money that James and John have made over their week of challenges
0:40:56 > 0:41:00will be going to the charities of their choice, so, without further ado, it's time
0:41:00 > 0:41:06to find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Mr Lewis!- Good to see you, Mr Cameron. How are you?
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I'm not bad. How did you get on with the auction stuff?
0:41:12 > 0:41:17I found it quite easy to sell, I think because there was not a lot there of high value,
0:41:17 > 0:41:22lots of little £5 here, £20 there and those are the things that are easy to sell. How about you?
0:41:22 > 0:41:25I made very good profit on everything.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27- 200% on some items.- Yeah?
0:41:27 > 0:41:32I found it hard to buy, I think I spent 162 quid or 165 quid. Put me out of my misery?
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- Let's have a look. One.- Two.- Three.
0:41:36 > 0:41:37Oh, look!
0:41:37 > 0:41:41200% profit and you've still battered me, James!
0:41:41 > 0:41:44But I spent three times more than you.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46- Lewis, you are a bandit.- No, no, no!
0:41:46 > 0:41:49I reckon there are wanted posters around Derbyshire for you.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52Let's get out of here before the police turn up!
0:41:52 > 0:41:58So, today's spoils go to James Lewis, who managed to seal a deal for his Chinese padauk wood stool
0:41:58 > 0:42:00with mother of pearl inlay.
0:42:00 > 0:42:05525. Deal done. Thanks, Pat. Get back your glass of wine and your pool. Enjoy it.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Yes, that's £525, earning The Lionheart
0:42:09 > 0:42:15an amazing profit of over £401 and ensuring a resounding victory.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17I only spent 160 odd quid.
0:42:17 > 0:42:22I more than made 200% profit on that, but it still wasn't enough to get near him.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25For me, the lucky result was that padauk wood stool.
0:42:25 > 0:42:31He looked at it as well. It could have been John buying it or me. A bit of luck there, I think.
0:42:31 > 0:42:37Before our duelling dealers can bank their week's profits, they must face their greatest challenge yet
0:42:37 > 0:42:41as they go head to head in the 48 hour showdown.
0:42:41 > 0:42:4515 quid, go on. You won't regret it. And I'll even wrap it for you!
0:42:45 > 0:42:49I've got to think straight, think straight. Oh, dear.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53I've never, ever done anything like this before.
