0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- the greatest challenge our experts have faced yet.- Great start.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09In just 48 frantic hours,
0:00:09 > 0:00:12our duelling dealers will each have to source,
0:00:12 > 0:00:16buy and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques,
0:00:16 > 0:00:20testing their knowledge, stamina and nerve to the absolute limit.
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Coming up, our dealers show you the things to look out for.
0:00:24 > 0:00:28If you saw that, then it's a really good object.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Without it, it could be made by anybody.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33How dealing can sometimes be painful.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35155, cost price, that hurts.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39And how even the experts can surprise themselves?
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Why did I buy these? I don't know.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Today, it's the final battle between James "the Lionheart" Lewis
0:00:58 > 0:01:01and John "the Hammer" Cameron.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Throughout the week, they've been fighting it out
0:01:04 > 0:01:07to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques,
0:01:07 > 0:01:11but now it's time to find out what they'll be taking on today,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14the most difficult challenge of their dealing careers.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Nice gold envelope. I wonder what this is.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Hope it's not the P45.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22OK, I have my golden envelope.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26This has my challenge inside, so let's have a look.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27"James Lewis, this is your showdown.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29"The challenge is simple.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33"You have today to buy antiques and collectibles from wherever you like.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38"Tomorrow, you must sell your items off a stall at the Shepton Mallet antiques fair
0:01:38 > 0:01:41"in direct competition with your opponent, John Cameron."
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Both our duelling dealers have up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Gosh. OK.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52The winner of this challenge will be the one who makes the most profit.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54"By 5pm today, you must finish buying,
0:01:54 > 0:01:56"then travel to your hotel room,
0:01:56 > 0:02:00"where you will meet your opponent, James Lewis.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03"You will find the suggestions for places where you can buy your items,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07"together with the details of tomorrow's market. Good luck."
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Good luck? What have I got to lose?
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Well, apart from £1,000 of my own money that is.
0:02:12 > 0:02:14So our duelling dealers have got one day
0:02:14 > 0:02:17to buy up an entire stall's worth of antiques.
0:02:17 > 0:02:22Tomorrow they'll be selling the whole lot in direct competition to the antique hunters
0:02:22 > 0:02:25at the Shepton Mallet giant flea and collectors market.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27With well over 200 stalls here,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30the competition for custom will be intense.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34Antiques, jewellery, clothes and furniture pack the stalls.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37An eclectic mix of goods that attract the public,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39professional dealers and collectors.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42For the Hammer and the Lionheart,
0:02:42 > 0:02:46the key to victory in this challenge will be watertight strategy.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48My strategy today is going to be simple.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52People are always asking me in auction houses, what should I buy?
0:02:52 > 0:02:55And I always say to them the same thing, buy what you genuinely like,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58because if you can't sell it, you can always live with it.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01So as I'm spending £1,000 of my own money,
0:03:01 > 0:03:04if I can't sell it, at least I can bring it home and keep it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Fool-proof. Well, although Mrs Cameron says I've got no taste,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09so might fall at the last fence.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'd better get on. If I know Lewis, he'll be running around,
0:03:12 > 0:03:14literally like a bull in a china shop.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19So the Hammer will be relying on his own impeccable taste - the perfect plan.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23Well, so long as Mrs Cameron isn't a customer.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27John is combing his house and gathering the things he needs
0:03:27 > 0:03:29to make his next 48 hours a success.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Rival James is also trying to come up with a match-stealing strategy.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39My strategy today is to buy lots of things, small value, small profit,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41and hopefully not make a loss.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45I'm sure John is already buying, so I'd better get out there myself.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47So less is more for the Lionheart,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50who will be aiming to pick up a high volume of low value items
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and turn around as much stock as possible.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56With wallets loaded and battle plans drawn,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00it's over the top and into the fray for our gung-ho heroes.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Both our experts now have less than nine hours
0:04:02 > 0:04:04to buy enough items to fill their stalls.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08They then need to hotfoot it to their hotel in Shepton Mallet.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11James is heading for a local antiques centre.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15I know them really well and they are only a few doors away from my sale room,
0:04:15 > 0:04:17so if I can't persuade them to give me a bargain,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19I can't persuade anyone. Here we go.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21This showdown is on.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25The Lionheart is on a trajectory bound for his local antiques centre,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28looking to pick up low-cost collectable pieces
0:04:28 > 0:04:31to tempt the buying public at Shepton Mallet.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35But James isn't content to just sit idly by
0:04:35 > 0:04:38whilst his driver gets him to his first destination.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Oh, no, his finely honed dealing brain has hit on a plan
0:04:42 > 0:04:45to maximise the amount of bargains he can get his mitts on today.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51The Lionheart has contacts in all four corners of the Midlands
0:04:51 > 0:04:55and one of them, Steven, is on the end of the phone at a local auction house.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I've looked online on my phone
0:04:57 > 0:05:02and there are a couple of things I'd like to have a bid on, if possible.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07There was a lot of copper there, sort of about £40 or so.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'd like miscellaneous lots, so I can split them up and put low mark-ups
0:05:11 > 0:05:12on each thing in the box.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Is that all right? All right, brilliant. Cheers, mate. Bye.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18That's great. Super.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21So he's going to have a bid for me,
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and if he's going to go home or whatever,
0:05:23 > 0:05:25he'll leave the bids with the auctioneer.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29They're commission bids - the auctioneer bids on your behalf
0:05:29 > 0:05:31to save you wasting time at the sale room.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34For a busy antiques dealer, that's the way life is.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38So using his van as an office and the technology at his fingertips,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42James is building up his arsenal of antiques from the road.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44But what of his rival?
0:05:44 > 0:05:47The Hammer is speeding along the coastal highways and byways,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50en route to an oasis of potential bargains.
0:05:50 > 0:05:55I'm off to Ford open-air car-boot sale, which is a Saturday affair.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59It's going to give me lots of options to buy lower value items,
0:05:59 > 0:06:03which I think may well be more suitable for that particular fair.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07People start here at about six-thirty, seven o'clock,
0:06:07 > 0:06:09so I may have missed some of the best bargains.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13But the clock is ticking and I need to start buying.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16So the Hammer is racing to a boot sale.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Remember he's not only up against the Lionheart -
0:06:19 > 0:06:23both our brave boys are pitting their wits against Old Father Time.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25And whilst John's in transit,
0:06:25 > 0:06:28James is gearing up to shop till he drops.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Got to think straight. Think straight. Oh, dear.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37I have never, ever done anything like this before.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42I'm not selling to people from the rostrum,
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'm not selling to clients that I know,
0:06:44 > 0:06:48I've got to try and buy things for people that I don't know.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Look at that split.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's been there
0:06:55 > 0:06:57for at least 150 years.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59That could even be 18th Century.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's a nice early bowl, that.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07And at around £20 to £30, it's not expensive.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10The Lionheart has found his first potential purchase.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13He's earmarked several other small pieces
0:07:13 > 0:07:16and plans to use his renowned charm to negotiate a group price.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19His next find is big, bold and a bit of an eye catcher.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25It's a copper tray in the style of
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Keswick School of Industrial Arts.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29And Keswick, up in the Lake District,
0:07:29 > 0:07:33was the leading area for beaten metalwork,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37and there was Newlyn right down in Cornwall,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39and there was Keswick in the Lakes,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43and between them they made almost all of the arts and crafts copper work in England.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47Because of the way the arts and crafts things were manufactured,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49only the very rich could afford them.
0:07:49 > 0:07:52What you would tend to look for is along this border line here,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56you would see if there was a mark saying KSIA,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59for Keswick School of Industrial Arts, or Newlyn.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03If you saw that, then it's a really good object.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Without it, it could be made by anybody.
0:08:06 > 0:08:07So...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Looking there...
0:08:11 > 0:08:13there's nothing.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Well, the copper collectible might not quite be what James hoped for,
0:08:16 > 0:08:20but if the price is right, it will be a boost to his antiques arsenal.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23Down on the south coast, it's Hammer time.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27John has arrived at the boot sale but it's mid-morning,
0:08:27 > 0:08:30and in boot-sale terms that's very, very, very late in the day.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Here we are at Ford car boot
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and already people have bought bargains and are leaving,
0:08:35 > 0:08:38so I've got to get on and see if I can get some bargains.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You're right, this boot sale is winding down
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and your opponent is already up and running,
0:08:43 > 0:08:47so what you need is a little less conversation and a lot more concentration.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49£10. £10. Thank you very much.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I suppose you want it wrapped up n'all?
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Since you offered. £10, sir.
0:08:54 > 0:08:59Pretty soon, the Hammer is snapping up bargains left, right and centre.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- £10 and I'll leave you alone.- Go on. - £10. Thank you.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Oh, I like you. £3.50. Do I get the music books as well?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- You can take those. - Wow, what a result.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- Will you take a tenner for them? - 12.50.- Go on, then.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17How much for the chair?
0:09:17 > 0:09:19- 20.- 20. Would you take 15 quid for it? yeah.
0:09:19 > 0:09:2055.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23A reindeer pelt might make Santa's eyes water,
0:09:23 > 0:09:28but John's £55 purchase has been ethically farmed and produced.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32the Hammer is smashing through this boot sale like a bargain-seeking missile.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34He's focused on just one thing -
0:09:34 > 0:09:38picking up pieces that will attract the buyers at the market.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- A lovely Deco one.- How much is that?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I've got 125 on it. I'm open to sensible offers.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- What's the very best you'll do on it?- I'll do you 100 quid on it.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51- £100.- Yeah.- OK. I'll buy that for £100.
0:09:51 > 0:09:57At £100, the Art Deco stag sculpture is John's biggest spend so far.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59He's now purchased a total of eight items,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02and he's storming away in the chase for today's title.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Back in Derbyshire, James has settled on a collection of items at the antique centre.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09He must now cut a deal for them.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13- 20, 20...- 20.- 20 and 20.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- That was 70.- We settled on 70, yeah.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18That was 20. No, yes, 20.
0:10:18 > 0:10:19- Yes, it was, yeah.- So that's 90.
0:10:19 > 0:10:2490. That was 20. 110.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- And that was...- 40.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30150. And that was 22.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- 22.50.- 22.50. So what are we up to?
0:10:34 > 0:10:35I've lost count now.
0:10:37 > 0:10:4070, 90, 110,
0:10:40 > 0:10:42that was 40...
0:10:42 > 0:10:45150, 152.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47152, 172.
0:10:47 > 0:10:48£174.50.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51170 the lot?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53It's not a huge discount, is it?
0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Go on, then.- 170. Brilliant. Deal.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57Great. Super.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00The Lionheart dips into his kitty to the tune of £170.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03Time will tell if he's bought well.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07Well, that's a great haul, I'm really pleased with that lot.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10The bowl is nice, but I'm most pleased with this copper tray.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14But I'm sure John's doing well as well, so I'll keep on my toes.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16Off to the next place and more shopping.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's a cracking start for James,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21as he secures himself nine items in total.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27On the sunny south coast, John is taking a moment to inspect his newly acquired stock.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32It's a pair of patenated, or like bronzed, spelter stags
0:11:32 > 0:11:34which are standing on this marble plinth.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38In my opinion, and feeling from some of the holes covered up underneath,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42this would probably have come off the top of a clock, a 1930s clock,
0:11:42 > 0:11:44and is very typical of that period.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47There has been some damage to it around by the antlers.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50I think three of those have been off and they've been repaired.
0:11:50 > 0:11:51There's a few signs of it.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55I have paid £100 for them, so I want to sell them for a profit.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57But if I don't, well, I think I could live with them.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00I'd better get them packed in and get on my way.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04It's wagons roll for the Hammer, his work at the boot sale is done
0:12:04 > 0:12:08and it's time to move on to profit-hunting pastures new.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13And speaking of hunting, the Lionheart is stalking his next herd of antiques prey.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Having agreed a price of £5 for a Royal Doulton character jug,
0:12:17 > 0:12:19James makes a cheeky offer.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23Would you take a fiver for this and for the Doulton character jug?
0:12:23 > 0:12:25- Yes.- You've got a deal. Thank you very much.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28There you go - if you don't ask, you don't get.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31For £5, James picks up a picture of the rolling Buxton Hills
0:12:31 > 0:12:33and the character jug.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37With both our experts en route to their next destination,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40it's time to take a look at the state of play so far.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Our dealing duo both started the day
0:12:43 > 0:12:46with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50John "the Hammer" Cameron has bought eight items
0:12:50 > 0:12:53and spent a total £208 from his kitty,
0:12:53 > 0:12:56leaving him £792 to play with.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01James "The Lionheart" Lewis has acquired 11 items
0:13:01 > 0:13:03and spent £175,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07which means he still has £825 to spend.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Our duelling dealers have got just 48 hours
0:13:13 > 0:13:17to source, buy and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques.
0:13:17 > 0:13:22They are both on the hunt for the items they think will sell best at the giant flea market.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So far, James has built up more stock
0:13:25 > 0:13:27but spent less cash than his rival,
0:13:27 > 0:13:30and he's hoping that next destination will provide him
0:13:30 > 0:13:32with more of those low-cost items
0:13:32 > 0:13:35that he's pinned his strategy on today.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36OK, I'm heading up the M1,
0:13:36 > 0:13:39getting up to Junction 29 as quickly as possible.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42There's a car boot that started at one o'clock.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46It's now just ten to two, so it has started
0:13:46 > 0:13:48but hopefully, there might be some bargains left.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52My plan was to buy lots of little things at low price,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54and then hopefully make a larger profit,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57so the strategy is going according to plan.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Fingers crossed, it will continue to do so.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03So with time marching on and money to spend,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07James is racing towards the bargain bonanza of a boot sale.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10There's around three hours of precious spending time left today
0:14:10 > 0:14:14and John's pitched up in an antiques centre in Emsworth in Hampshire.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17He is focused on hammering out yet more deals
0:14:17 > 0:14:20and a caviar server is the first piece to catch his eye.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Says £65 on it.
0:14:25 > 0:14:26It's handmade.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30The only thing is, Chris, I don't know many people who have caviar.
0:14:30 > 0:14:31- Do you?- Well, you do, John!
0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Not on my money, Chris. It's more like lumpfish.- Oh, is it?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Cod roe, John.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Yeah, cod roe and chips.
0:14:37 > 0:14:42- £65. Now you know I've come here to have a deal, Chris.- Yes, I do.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- What is the very, very best? - OK. Really, John, it's 55.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48That's the very best? Couldn't do 50 quid on it?
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- I will do it, yeah. I could do it for you.- £50.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- Since it's for you. - I appreciate that. That's one item.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Great. I haven't finished yet.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59A high falutin' Hammer bags the caviar server for £50
0:14:59 > 0:15:04and wastes no time in snooping around the rest of the antiques centre.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08In no time, he also picks up a set of Victorian shelves for £150
0:15:08 > 0:15:12and a bronze hunting scene for £100.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15John's spending at a steady rate but what of his rival?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, James has got stuck in at the boot sale
0:15:18 > 0:15:20and has already started buying bargains.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- Thank you very much. - Do you want it wrapping?
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- No, it's fine like that. Thank you.- Bye.
0:15:25 > 0:15:2630. Hmm.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Would 20 be any good?- Not quite.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32- Give you 25 for the sticks and the brass chamber stick.- All right.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Deal done. Thank you very much.
0:15:34 > 0:15:39James quickly snaps up five items and he's not finished yet.
0:15:39 > 0:15:44That I rate at 15, that I rate at 25, tops.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- £40 then.- 40 quid. Deal.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Deal, thank you.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52- There we go, £40.- Thank you.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56So that's seven low-cost items in the bag for James
0:15:56 > 0:15:59and he adds to his stash by spending just £1
0:15:59 > 0:16:02on a charming clock tape measure.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Back at the antiques centre, John has acquired what he hopes will be
0:16:06 > 0:16:11a table full of bargains which will compliment his caviar server.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13These are, in my opinion, good buys.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16We've got sets of six, always very important,
0:16:16 > 0:16:18and they're all nicely etched.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21Going with the theme I'm building, they'll go down well.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23But my favourite lot here has to be
0:16:23 > 0:16:28these silver-mounted cut glass decanters by Mapping & Webb.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31Top maker, nice quality and £155.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35That's really, really good value. I'll hopefully make £100 on those.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39If not, they're mine. And then this, the wine taster,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42these aren't really used these days, it's more decorative,
0:16:42 > 0:16:45but you have your wine in there, swish it around
0:16:45 > 0:16:46and then pass it on.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51Well, the only problem with buying wine glasses like this
0:16:51 > 0:16:54is you have to wrap them, carriage them,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56and wrap and pack them again if they don't sell.
0:16:56 > 0:17:00So do excuse me, I've got some tissue paper and a couple of boxes
0:17:00 > 0:17:01I've got a date with.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03This collection of wine-related items
0:17:05 > 0:17:07has set John back a total of £295,
0:17:07 > 0:17:09but before he can move on and keep spending,
0:17:09 > 0:17:13he needs to carefully wrap and pack his glassware.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Do you want salt and vinegar on that, love?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Up in the Midlands, the car-boot sale is grinding to a halt.
0:17:19 > 0:17:24James has had a field day and he's managed to bag one more item.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26This little...
0:17:26 > 0:17:30mahogany case contains a hydrometer.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34A hydrometer is used to measure the specific gravity of a liquid,
0:17:34 > 0:17:38so this is for measuring specific gravity probably of things like beer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41There we are, end of the day, everyone is packing up
0:17:41 > 0:17:45and it's time I moved. I've got one more shop to go to and time is running out.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49It's about five to four, something like that, so about an hour left.
0:17:49 > 0:17:54James has stuck doggedly to his strategy of buying up low-cost items
0:17:54 > 0:17:57and the boot sale has served its purpose perfectly.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59OK, let's go.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04The question now is, will James have enough time to reach his next destination?
0:18:04 > 0:18:07John has only £110 left to spend.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11He's racing through Portsmouth with a smile on his face.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Feel free to take your foot off the brake any time you like, driver.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18For both our experts, it's been a long, intense buying day
0:18:18 > 0:18:23and now it's the final push before the five o'clock buying deadline.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26With only 20 minutes to spare, James picks up the pace
0:18:26 > 0:18:28to maximise his buying time,
0:18:28 > 0:18:31and John arrives at his old friend Ian's shop.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Right, we're here. Now, I've sold to Ian many times from the rostrum,
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I've even sold to him on the show,
0:18:37 > 0:18:41but I've never, in all the years I've known him, bought anything from him.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43110 quid, see how it goes.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48The Hammer's arrived in the nick of time,
0:18:48 > 0:18:50but can he secure any bargains to add to his arsenal
0:18:50 > 0:18:52for the Shepton Mallet market?
0:18:52 > 0:18:55- What's the damage on these? - 35 for the two.
0:18:55 > 0:18:5935 for the two. Could you do 30 on them?
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- 30 quid, yeah, that's all right. - I'll hold on to those.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06He's not spent the £110 left in his kitty,
0:19:06 > 0:19:11but for £30, he's secured two antique corkscrews.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14John's stall has most definitely developed a drinking theme.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17The only thing that's missing is something of a fine vintage.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Oh, spoke too soon.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Now, I've got an ancient bottle of port there.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26It doesn't say anything on the label as to age.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29- How much can I have that for Ian? - A fiver.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33£5. Well, I will have that and if I don't sell it, I will drink it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I'll see you soon. You'll come and visit me in rehab, won't you?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- Yeah.- Take care, mate, bye-bye.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42So, right at the very end of the buying day,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45John snaps up a bottle of vintage port for £5.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48The Hammer's buying bonanza is at a clos.,
0:19:48 > 0:19:52He now needs to hit the road and high tail it to the hotel.
0:19:52 > 0:19:57It's off the Shepton Mallet now and I think I might even get myself 40 winks.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00John wasn't the only one to bag some last-minute bargains.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04The Lionheart roared to his final destination with just enough time
0:20:04 > 0:20:07to grab a couple of last-minute aditions.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12My goodness. It has just struck five.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15All the clocks in there were going boing, boing, boing.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Bang on five o'clock, I bought my last two objects.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Well, what are they? You might well ask.
0:20:20 > 0:20:25I bought a pair of brass arts and crafts candlesticks for £15,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30and I bought a pair of Norfolk mud skis.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34I've never heard of them, I've never seen them before...
0:20:36 > 0:20:38If they make a profit, I'll be amazed.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41A pair of Norfolk mud skis?
0:20:41 > 0:20:45OK, so they only cost £5, but for your sake, Mr Lewis,
0:20:45 > 0:20:49let's hope they don't contribute to your showdown challenge going downhill.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53Before heading to Shepton Mallet, James is making a pit-stop
0:20:53 > 0:20:55at his sale room to pick up the auction items
0:20:55 > 0:20:59that his friend Steven bid for on his behalf.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01OK, here we go.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04These are the things I have bought from the auction in Nottingham.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07It's a quantity of tools in there,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09and then we've got
0:21:09 > 0:21:14a big lot of copper, this was about £45,
0:21:14 > 0:21:15then we have...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17a concertina
0:21:17 > 0:21:19and two radios.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Total spend, about 96, 98 pounds.
0:21:25 > 0:21:27The best thing of all is that.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30Look at that. Isn't that style?
0:21:30 > 0:21:34John Cameron is not going to have anything on his stand as classy as this.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38So with a sign knocked up by the staff of his auction room,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40James is off to meet his rival at the hotel.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44There, our brave boys will get a good night's shut eye
0:21:44 > 0:21:47before their day of selling at the antiques market.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48It's now time to tot up the totals
0:21:48 > 0:21:51to find out how much our dealers have spent.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54John and James both started out today
0:21:54 > 0:21:57with up to £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:21:57 > 0:22:03John The Hammer Cameron spent a whopping £923 on 21 purchases
0:22:03 > 0:22:06while James The Lionheart Lewis
0:22:06 > 0:22:12bagged 20 items and shelled out just over £366.
0:22:12 > 0:22:17Once they've checked into their hotel and freshened up, our warring warriors hold a temporary truce.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22Tomorrow brings the real battle as they attempt to sell
0:22:22 > 0:22:27all of their purchases in direct competition at the Shepton Mallet Market.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28Did you spend all your money?
0:22:28 > 0:22:31All bar about 70-something quid.
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- You didn't?- I did, yeah.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I thought, look, last show, you know,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39every time James has outspent me, I've got to go for it now.
0:22:39 > 0:22:41You've done it this time by a mile.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44That may come back to bite me in the backside.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47I've spent, well, less than 400, I think.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50If you make profit on that and I haven't sold half mine,
0:22:50 > 0:22:52then you've done me. I've got to sell everything.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Well, you know, you're a braver man than me.
0:22:54 > 0:23:00- You've spent more and you deserve to win. Cheers. - Here's to tomorrow.- Good luck.
0:23:00 > 0:23:07It's first thing in the morning in Shepton Mallet and the flea market is springing into life.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10There's a palpable sense of tension in the air
0:23:10 > 0:23:13as our brave boys prepare for the days trading.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16And antiques dealers, collectors and connoisseurs
0:23:16 > 0:23:19from all over the country are arriving ready to spend, spend, spend.
0:23:19 > 0:23:24Over the next eight hours our experts face their biggest challenge yet,
0:23:24 > 0:23:29they must attempt to sell everything that they bought yesterday.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Morning. - Good morning. Did you sleep well?
0:23:31 > 0:23:33- I did. You?- No. Tossing and turning all night,
0:23:33 > 0:23:35worrying about the things I've bought.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38I'm bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, ready for the challenge.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42OK, I don't think there's time to waste chattering, we've got to sell this stuff.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45- Everyone's setting up so... - Come on.- Come on.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48The Lionheart and The Hammer have stalls right next to each other,
0:23:48 > 0:23:54so they'll have to fight even harder to make sure it's their stall that the buyers come to first.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03I knew I shouldn't have that full English for breakfast.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08I'm pleased with my sign. I'm more pleased with my sign than anything I've bought, really.
0:24:08 > 0:24:12As they unpack their goods, their aim will be to display them
0:24:12 > 0:24:16in ways that will inspire buyers to part with their cold, hard cash.
0:24:16 > 0:24:20James looks to be creating his very own great wall of literature
0:24:20 > 0:24:25and John appears to be trying his hand at a little origami.
0:24:25 > 0:24:31This is retail and it's like selling anything - if it doesn't look good,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35you've got no chance of persuading people it is good.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40So James is dressing to impress, but John has his secret weapon.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42And the piece de resistance.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Voila! Look at that.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Isn't that quality?
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Yes, John, we're All Shook Up.
0:24:50 > 0:24:55But James has found something that could shake up the entire contest.
0:24:55 > 0:25:00As I was taking it out of the van, look what I noticed.
0:25:00 > 0:25:01Just here...
0:25:01 > 0:25:06is a tiny little mark - KSIA.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08When I was in the shop,
0:25:08 > 0:25:11I thought, "If only it was Keswick School of Industrial Arts,"
0:25:11 > 0:25:16and I must have, literally, been holding it like that, over the mark.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19But that makes a huge difference in value.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23You know, a bit of Kewsick metalwork like this,
0:25:23 > 0:25:26in the right sale, is over £300.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28What did I pay? 20.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33This is certainly a bargain, but are the right people going to be here on the day? That's the question.
0:25:33 > 0:25:35So great news for James.
0:25:35 > 0:25:40He'll be hoping that the right buyer does come along and he can cash in with a big profit.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44John is busy grappling with his glasses
0:25:44 > 0:25:50and as the two boys set up their stands, The Hammer slips seamlessly into selling mode.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53- Port, vintage.- Yeah?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57He's trying to sell them that rotten old bottle of wine, I can't believe it.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00How much do you want to pay?
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Ten quid?- Oh, ten quid.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08- The bottle's worth ten quid. 25 quid.- I'll give you 20.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12£20, it's yours. Thank you very much.
0:26:12 > 0:26:17Do you know what? I was secretly thinking, "If I don't sell that, I'm drinking it."
0:26:17 > 0:26:21Thank you very much, £20, first sale of the day. Is that first blood to me?
0:26:21 > 0:26:25So the bottle of port gives John an early £15 profit.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31James at last is ready for action so, gentlemen, it's time to reveal your stalls.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Now I think I've put all my eggs in one basket.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Do you know, it's funny, look at your stand and look at mine.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- They say a lot about us. - Totally different.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46James has put together an eclectic mixture of items
0:26:46 > 0:26:50whereas John's stand is a mixture of statues and drink-related items.
0:26:50 > 0:26:55Both stalls have their appeal, but which one will pull in the punters?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58That's a nice item. It's worth 50 quid.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02If you want it for 50 quid, you can have it for 50 quid. I've got to sell this stuff.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04- Go on, I'll have it for 50. - OK, you've got a deal.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09So following John's early success, James strikes back.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11Enjoy it and do well with it.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Fantastic, that's my first sale in the bag.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I bought that I think for £20, £22, something like that.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21That's more than double my money. Great start.
0:27:21 > 0:27:27Profit is the name of this game and The Lionheart roars into action with sale after sale.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Yeah? 38, that's a deal. - I'll give you eight.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Make it nine, you've got a deal.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Eight. - All right, you've got a deal anyway.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38Make an offer, it's here to go, I want to sell it.
0:27:38 > 0:27:4275 and it's yours.
0:27:42 > 0:27:43Deal. 75 quid.
0:27:43 > 0:27:49In a flash James makes three sales, all giving him good profits.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53Done, £75. Doubled my money. Things are going all right.
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- On John's stall, he's got some interest in Elvis.- 20 quid.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- 20 quid.- Definitely a bargain. £20.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Porcelain. Give the King a home.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- And then I can say Elvis has left the building.- Tenner.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09A tenner. I paid that for him. Give me 15, I'll meet you in the middle.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12- 12.50.- Oh, don't do that to me.
0:28:12 > 0:28:1515 quid, that's cheap. Have a glass of wine before you go.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18I'll have a glass of wine and 15 quid.
0:28:18 > 0:28:19Oh, I'm so glad Elvis has gone.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23So the King gives John a £5 profit
0:28:23 > 0:28:27and while he serves the drinks, James gives us an insight into his selling strategy.
0:28:27 > 0:28:33I'm not being greedy, I'm not looking for huge profits, I just want the people here to get a good bargain.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I want to sell it, I want to make a bit of money for my charity.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Everybody's happy. I'm not being greedy, that's the key.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- How much is the bronze, then? - The bronze?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44Well, it's nice, have a feel of it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47And John's strategy of chatting over a glass of wine
0:28:47 > 0:28:52pays dividends as the Elvis fan is interested in his £100 bronze.
0:28:52 > 0:28:56- 150.- I'll give it a bit of thought. - What about a small profit?
0:28:56 > 0:28:58Yeah, I promise I'll think about it.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01So that's a "no sale" for John.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05But over on James's stall, he's closing deal after deal.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07That was 35.
0:29:07 > 0:29:1125, you've got a deal. It's an elegant one, isn't it?
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Yeah? Deal.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16James banks more profit and immediately sells his other cane.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Brilliant. Thank you very much. Thank you. I've priced it to sell.
0:29:19 > 0:29:2132 and you've got a deal.
0:29:21 > 0:29:25- Two quid for luck. 31, give me a pound for luck.- Go on, then.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27And he doesn't stop there.
0:29:27 > 0:29:2940 and that's a deal if you want it.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Go on, then.- 40. Brilliant.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Give me 35 if it helps.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35Deal, thank you very much.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38A tenner. Done. Thank you.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Good profits. I'm happy.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42James isn't the only one making profits.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44- £20.- £20.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46Thank you very much. God bless you.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49£20. That was a hard sell, wasn't it?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- But he's working his socks off for each sale.- I'll wrap them for you.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56£29 then, you've got a deal.
0:29:56 > 0:29:58You're breaking my heart.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01And all his hard work earlier pays dividends.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- We've got about £110 between us. - You want it?- Yeah, we'll have it.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Good man. All right?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Thank you. I'm glad it's got a good home.- Yeah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13- And every time you look at it you'll think of me.- We'll remember you.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Well, our John might not be a work of art himself,
0:30:17 > 0:30:24but his huntsman and pack of hounds has brought him a cast-iron profit of £10.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27£110, thank you very much.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31Cheers! Keep buying from him. If he keeps making a tenner, I'm happy.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I've got to get rid of the big lumps.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36I've just made a tenner on it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39Do you know, I thought that was going to be the thing where...
0:30:39 > 0:30:43I was sticking around. I'm happy I'm not taking it home.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44Our contest is really hotting up.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49The experts have made some good sales, but with the market at its busiest,
0:30:49 > 0:30:52they have to strike now to maximise their profits.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56John has some interest in his caviar server but can he close the deal?
0:30:56 > 0:31:00Yours for 70 quid today and that is rock-bottom.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02I was thinking about 50.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05I can't sell it for that. It doesn't give me a profit.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07That's a great object. He's my competitor
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- and I think that's a great object. - All right.- It's lovely.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12£70. Let's see the colour of your money, then.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17So with a little help from his friend, John sells the caviar server and makes a small profit.
0:31:17 > 0:31:23The Lionheart returns to his stall and has a potential buyer for his copper Keswick tray.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- Do you like Keswick? Keswick School of Industrial Arts?- Is it Keswick?
0:31:27 > 0:31:28Yes, it's marked here, look.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- I bought it yesterday. I have to sell it.- Oh.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I rate that. That's my star of my show today.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38I really like it.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40What would you offer for it?
0:31:40 > 0:31:45- You can try.- I suppose you wouldn't take a 100 for it, would you?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I'd rather take it home.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50What about 120?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53130 you've got a deal and you've got a damn good deal and a bargain.
0:31:53 > 0:31:57- All right, go on then. - Deal. 130 quid.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02That's a massive sale for James and John can only stand by and watch.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03Wimbledon.
0:32:03 > 0:32:08The Hammer strikes back fast though by selling one set of Champagne glasses.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much.- Thank you. Good luck.
0:32:11 > 0:32:15Is that your daughter? She said 25 quid and a kiss from my mum.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22The deal is sealed with a kiss and John goes on to sell a second set of glasses.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26Those are the best ones on the stand today, those ones there.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- They are lovely. £35?- Yes. - You're a good lass.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34It's a good profit for John, but until he offloads his shelves
0:32:34 > 0:32:36and the pair of Mappin & Webb decanters,
0:32:36 > 0:32:38he's going to be nowhere in this contest.
0:32:38 > 0:32:43Our two dealers are going toe to toe for profit in this titanic tussle.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Time to check out who's the leader of the pack.
0:32:48 > 0:32:52John Cameron has made eight sales and £324,
0:32:52 > 0:32:57but he needs another £599 before he breaks into profit.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02James Lewis has racked up 14 sales and made £493.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06He's already broken into profit by just over £126.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12So John has it all to do in the final hours of today's showdown.
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Unfortunately for him, things are a little quiet around his stall.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20James on the other hand is pulling in the buyers and doing swift trade.
0:33:20 > 0:33:25Thanks. Do you want that one as well for a fiver?
0:33:25 > 0:33:26I don't know about that one.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- I know about those.- Period '70s one.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31- I'll have that one. - That's yours, five quid.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33£5, thank you, bargain, well done.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Salt. I was asking 55. 45.- 35?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Go on, then. £35, they're yours.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41He's converting every sale.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43What are you doing on this one then, mate?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45That, I could do for £8.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47I'd give you a fiver.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50- Make it seven and it's yours. - All right.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Thank you very much.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55So it's a frenzy of selling at James's stall.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59He learnt his trade as a 17-year-old selling at Newark Antiques Market.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Well, that is non-stop.
0:34:01 > 0:34:06In the last five minutes I have sold one, two, three, four, five, six, seven things in five minutes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12But little tiny profits all the way, not being greedy, it's going well.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14James's stall is really clearing out.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17For John things are a little bit more difficult.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20He's working hard to sell his expensive items,
0:34:20 > 0:34:24but he's only back in the competition if he can get a good price for them.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Everything's got to go here today. Anyone interested?
0:34:27 > 0:34:33While John tries to drum up interest for those expensive items, James is closing yet more deals.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35Make me an offer on it. Up to you.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- 15 quid.- Oh, go on, then. - 15 quid, it's yours. Deal.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44That's another £15 and a good profit for James's Buxton watercolour.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- Do you like them? - They're nice, but...
0:34:46 > 0:34:50Not for you. I think I'm going to be taking those home.
0:34:50 > 0:34:55At a cost of £155 John can't afford to take the decanters home.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59James is having no problem shifting any of his items.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01- Make an offer.- For those three?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Yeah.- Fiver.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05- 12 quid any good?- No.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08OK. All right, a tenner.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Eight.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Nine and they're yours. Three quid each.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14- Done.- £9. Deal done.
0:35:14 > 0:35:20As James wracks up more profit, John wracks his brain. He needs sales.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23How about those shelves? They are lovely. Victorian.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28James looks like he's about to erase John from the competition.
0:35:28 > 0:35:34- Look...£25.- Shall I get them from James for £25? Yeah? 25?
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Do you notice, even now the deal's done, I'm still polishing.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Keep polishing! You keep going.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44James makes yet another sale and John finally has interest at his stall,
0:35:44 > 0:35:47but not for one of his pricier items.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50No-one's going to make fake Doulton, are they?
0:35:50 > 0:35:51They just don't weigh enough.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53It's hollow cast, isn't it?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56It's bisque. 15 quid, what a ridiculous price.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- I'll give you a tenner. - I paid a tenner for it. - Well, you'll get your money back!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03No, I need to make a small profit. 15 quid. Go on.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06You won't regret it and I'll even wrap it for you.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Thank you very much. You won't regret it. You know it makes sense.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13So, John offloads another low-cost item.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16However, his rival is romping away with this contest,
0:36:16 > 0:36:21and as hard as he tries, John The Hammer is finding it difficult to shift his expensive items.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24James, on the other hand, is having no such problem.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Little tobacco jar.
0:36:26 > 0:36:2840 quid, then.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30- 42. That's the death on it.- 40 quid.
0:36:30 > 0:36:35- 41, and go on then, I'm not going to argue with you for a pound.- 40 quid.- 41.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38- A pound for luck.- Go on, then.
0:36:38 > 0:36:39Yours.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44James stands his ground and gets his lucky pound and boy, oh, boy is it lucky.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Deal. Thank you.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Thank you very much, that's great.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Give me 30 for it, then. Deal.
0:36:50 > 0:36:51£30, it's yours.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Items are flying off his stall.
0:36:54 > 0:36:55Oh.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57- Go on.- 28 and you've got a deal.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03£30. It's the death on it, really. Yeah? Deal. Thank you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06But James isn't the only one having success,
0:37:06 > 0:37:09John bags a buyer for one of his more expensive items.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13- So £75?- 75 and it's done, yeah. - Brilliant. £75. Thank you very much.
0:37:13 > 0:37:18That's a great result for John, but James is still coining it in.
0:37:18 > 0:37:23- 35, OK?- Fantastic. Thank you very much. Enjoy them. Thank you.
0:37:23 > 0:37:25- Thank you. Bye.- Well done.
0:37:25 > 0:37:30OK, right, one thing left, these are my tools.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Everybody hates them. I'm going to do a lucky dip.
0:37:33 > 0:37:40Everything in this bag is worth more than a fiver and I'm going to do £2 a dip and see if anyone wants them.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42So here we go.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Good plan, James.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46That one?
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Well done. That's two quid, well done, that's a bargain.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54- I think you've done well, I mean... - I did have a quick look first.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56Did you? Well done. I don't mind.
0:37:56 > 0:38:01But I guarantee that whatever you pick out of this box is worth more than £2.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Two quid. I'm not saying you particularly want it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- That's not bad, is it? - No, that will do.
0:38:07 > 0:38:13As lucky dippers get stuck in to James's bag, John is trying to sell his last set of glasses.
0:38:13 > 0:38:14Meet me in the middle at 25?
0:38:14 > 0:38:16That's the cheapest set I've sold all day.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19I've been selling them for 35.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22£25.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26- 20, I can't sell them at the same... No, go on, £25.- Go on, then.
0:38:26 > 0:38:3025. I'll wrap them up for you. £25.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33There we are. I can actually go off and do some selling now.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36Yes. But there is some wrapping to do first, John.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Once it's done, he can then hit the road and look for buyers around the market.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41That's the other one.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Ah! It's sunny. Perfect place to do some selling.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49You don't want that. You don't want that. You want that.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51He's heavy.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Well done, you've got the best one.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55That's all right.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58I think it's for piping icing, but...
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Oh, that's worth a pound, isn't it? Well done. Great.
0:39:02 > 0:39:08- Thank you.- There you go, it's all yours and you've got a free box too.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10So, The Lionheart is all sold up.
0:39:10 > 0:39:16John has sold his Victorian shelves at cost price. Now for his other items.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18The market is starting to shut down
0:39:18 > 0:39:21and he knows if he doesn't sell his remaining antiques,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24their cost will count against his profit.
0:39:24 > 0:39:28It's do or die for John, he needs to turn over his stock, and fast.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31155, cost price, that hurt.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36- Here we are.- £55. Thank you. My first loss of the day. £50, then.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Go on.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- All right, then.- There we are.- Can't argue with you.- Thanks, fellas.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Next up is his reindeer pelt.
0:39:45 > 0:39:4825? Go on. I feel like I should give you a kiss for that.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Go on then, give her the kiss.
0:39:50 > 0:39:56Well... And Mum. Thank you very much. I think I need to give James a kiss as well for setting that up.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59No, I was waiting to take a kiss.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03With the selling over, it's only fitting to end with a kiss
0:40:03 > 0:40:08and as the stall holders pack up and head home, our duelling duo meet for a final chat.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11Are you wiped out?
0:40:11 > 0:40:16- Completely and utterly shattered. - Well, you've sold everything.
0:40:16 > 0:40:17Yeah, so have you.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Well, everything, but one thing.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22Just the cocktail strainer which...
0:40:22 > 0:40:26I didn't really want to sell it. I'm going to give that to my son.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Two quid it cost me, it's Asprey,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30he's just started a job as a cocktail waiter.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33It's time now to tot up the totals
0:40:33 > 0:40:38and find out exactly how much our dynamic duo have made.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42Both John and James were allowed to spend up to £1,000
0:40:42 > 0:40:44of their own money on the showdown.
0:40:44 > 0:40:49John relied on his own taste and spent a total £923,
0:40:49 > 0:40:57whilst James spent just over £366 on a cornucopia of collectibles.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Both our experts have worked their socks off
0:40:59 > 0:41:03to make as much money as possible, and every penny of profit they made
0:41:03 > 0:41:06will be going to their chosen good causes.
0:41:06 > 0:41:12It's time now for the talking to stop as we reveal just how much John and James have made
0:41:12 > 0:41:13in their showdown challenge.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15How are you?
0:41:15 > 0:41:18A lot better for seeing you.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21- I know you made a profit of some kind.- I made a small profit.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23I don't even want to open this case. Shall we see?
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Go on, then. Three...- Two...- One.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- Oh!- Do I have to look?
0:41:29 > 0:41:33- Dear.- No, I mean do I have to look at that? £27.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36We both made a profit, that's all that counts.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39So it's victory for James today.
