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