0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:00:04 > 0:00:08The show that takes the titans of the antiques trade
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- and pitches them against each other...- Mwah!
0:00:11 > 0:00:15..to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It's amazing! Truly amazing!
0:00:18 > 0:00:23Today, sophisticated Kate Bateman takes on the suave Mark Stacey
0:00:23 > 0:00:25in an all-out battle for profit,
0:00:25 > 0:00:30giving you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34Coming up, our dealers give you their top tips in car bootery.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36People move things, people adjust them,
0:00:36 > 0:00:39the stallholders change their pitches
0:00:39 > 0:00:41and it's always worth keeping your eye out
0:00:41 > 0:00:44and making sure you have a good rummage.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Our new girl on the block gives an old pro a run for his money.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52- I paid £15 for it.- Oh, they really did see you coming, didn't they!
0:00:53 > 0:00:58And shows how even the smallest items cause the biggest surprises.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- I have something in here. - Is it good?
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Very small, but I think you're going to be interested in it.
0:01:04 > 0:01:08This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24Fighting it out today is the bargain hunter from Brighton,
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Mark The Maverick Stacey.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29And our fresh-faced newbie, the queen of fine art,
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Kate The Diamond Bateman.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34So, stand by for car boot carnage
0:01:34 > 0:01:37as our antiques gladiators attempt to outdo each other
0:01:37 > 0:01:40buying and selling antiques for profit.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's the dealer from down south...
0:01:43 > 0:01:46I thought on a nice morning, everybody would be nice and friendly.
0:01:46 > 0:01:48More than friendly.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50..versus The Diamond of Lincolnshire.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Oh, here's Mr Stacey. Let's go and kick him.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Mark and Kate are at Croft's car boot sale near Leicester, and their mission is simple -
0:01:58 > 0:02:03to unearth hidden gems that they can sell on for a stupendous profit.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06They've been set a budget. £250 of their own money
0:02:06 > 0:02:10and all their profits go to their chosen charities.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11Mark Stacey and Kate Bateman,
0:02:11 > 0:02:15it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Well, £250 to spend today.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22The car boot's in sunny Stoney Stanton in Leicestershire.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24It's lovely. Really nice here.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- It's a nice dawn, isn't it?- I just hope it warms up.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Have you got any ideas of your plan for the day?
0:02:29 > 0:02:34My plan - warm up, wake up, and get a bargain.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Oh, my God, you've stolen all my lines!
0:02:37 > 0:02:41I don't know what I'm going to do. Car boots are not me, you know.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43I don't usually go to car boot sales.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I quite like them, but it's rare to find a proper antique.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Well, I'm here. - You're Art Deco, though.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53Oh, my darling! We're going to get on!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Don't be fooled by their faux friendly banter. This is all-out war
0:02:56 > 0:03:01and their keeping their battle plans close to their chests.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Newcomer Kate already has victory on her mind.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Well, the plan is, one - to find an antique,
0:03:06 > 0:03:07which may be tough-going today.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11There's a lot of modern stuff. And, er...beat Mark Stacey.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15It's early doors, but I think I can do it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17You go, sister!
0:03:17 > 0:03:21The new girl on the block is baring her teeth at old pro Mark Stacey.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24But like a polar bear on the beach, he's out of his comfort zone.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Even with all his Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is experience behind him,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30he's flailing at the start lines.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33This is not my natural habitat,
0:03:33 > 0:03:35but I do have to find the things I need,
0:03:35 > 0:03:39so I'm just hoping that one of these stallholders
0:03:39 > 0:03:41will unwrap a gem or two.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45It's not long before he gets his super-antiques-man cloak on
0:03:45 > 0:03:49and swoops right in on his first item - a small wooden box.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52I do think it's quite practical.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56You could keep your keys or you could keep all sorts of things in there
0:03:56 > 0:03:58and it's only marked up at £3.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I think this lady's got a nice smiley face.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I'm sure she doesn't want to take it home, do you?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- I don't, but it's very early in the morning.- I know.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10- But can we do anything on that? - It's £3.- Oh, come on.- It's £3.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Do it for £2.50. - It's a lovely box for £3.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17This is how mean they are. They know that I want it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22Stacey's lessons at charm school just aren't cutting the mustard.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Time for a new tactic. Buy a bundle.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27I've just spotted that. Tell me about this.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- This is Karl Francis.- Who is it?
0:04:30 > 0:04:35A racing driver. British World Champion.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Gosh. Well, I know nothing about...motorcyclists,
0:04:40 > 0:04:43but it's quite fun, I suppose, if you're into motorcycling.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- Yeah, definitely. It's a keepsake. - It's a keepsake.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49And it's got a frame, which is a bonus. Is that £3, as well?
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- That's £4.- You're putting the price up deliberately, aren't you?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55No, that one was always £4.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Can't we do a little deal on the both of them?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Again, it's early in the day. - And how much are these?
0:05:01 > 0:05:03They're a fiver.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, I quite like this. The glasses and the case don't match,
0:05:06 > 0:05:10but the leather case does have Negretti & Zambra.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14They're very well-known London instrument makers.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15It's actually quite fun.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18It's in reasonable condition, as well.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23- We can say a tenner for...No, £11 for everything.- I like a tenner.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- No, £11.- That's £15. So I need £4, is that right?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Yes, that's right.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Well, that's three items already off one stall.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35This is getting very worrying. And I've only spend £11.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38Mark is struggling to negotiate down,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42even though his bargaining turbo power is set to maximum.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44But at least he's in the game.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I'm really struggling to find anything I can buy.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49There's a lot of stalls, but it's all new
0:05:49 > 0:05:51and I think we're really going to struggle today.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54I can only hope that Mark is doing just as badly.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56Come on, Kate, start rummaging.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00She's got a feisty opponent in The Maverick and he's a hard nut to crack.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04He's already smoked out potential buy number four.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08A quite nice little 1930s jug here, actually.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12Moulded. Very typical '30s. In that sort of browny colour.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Art Pottery underneath.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17It's quite decorative with the flowers on it, isn't it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20How much are you asking for the jug, my dear?
0:06:20 > 0:06:22About £2. £2?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- £2?- Well, no, not now.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26THEY LAUGH
0:06:26 > 0:06:28Now, don't be naughty.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Is that your very best?- Sorry?
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Is that your best price, £2?
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- Well, yeah. - We can't do it for a pound?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Probably not, no.- Can we say £1.50?
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- No. - THEY LAUGH
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Nobody wants to negotiate!
0:06:43 > 0:06:47What's the matter with me? I'm losing my touch, I think.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51Oh, go on, I'll have it for £2. It's got to be worth more than that.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- I suppose you want cash.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Will you take a cheque?- No.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Well, what he's lacking in negotiation skills,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00he's certainly making up for in buys.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03That's his fourth item of the morning,
0:07:03 > 0:07:06and what's more, it even has some age to it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Well, there we are, that's quite nice.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Because it's a nice little 1930s jug,
0:07:12 > 0:07:16so it is actually getting on for an antique, or certainly collectable.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20The mark's a little but unclear at the bottom, but it does say, I think,
0:07:20 > 0:07:24Royal Art Pottery, or something Art Pottery, England.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27And it looks in perfect condition.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29So it's got to be worth a tenner, hasn't it?
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's a great start for Stacey,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35but watch out, our new girl Kate is hot on his tail.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Oh! Here's Mr Stacey. Let's go and kick him.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- Oh! You've bought something already! - Hold on, what are you doing here?
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- I just...What have you got? Look! - Get back over there, you.- Oh!
0:07:46 > 0:07:49What have you got? Clarice Cliff, is it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:52No, it's Art Pottery. But it's '30s, isn't it?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- It's quite pretty. - I think I might have overpaid for it.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Have you charged him a vast amount of money?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59I paid £15. Is that too much?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Oh, they really did see you coming, didn't they?
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Oh, a cruel trick by The Maverick,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07lulling Kate into believing he's overpaid for the pottery.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11But even so, our Diamond is still tearing her hair out.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Find me an antique anywhere. I'll be so pleased.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17But she soon uncovers a little gem.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22This is an AA badge, which most cars used to have on them.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I guess this is, what, probably post-war.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Yeah, '50s, just post-war.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Um, the completely flat ones, you can see if you look at these ones,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34they're slightly later, with curved fronts.
0:08:34 > 0:08:35So this is an earlier version.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Now, I know a couple of collectors that have vintage cars
0:08:39 > 0:08:42and this is the kind of thing they would collect.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It looks like The Diamond's about to cut her first deal.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50The AA badge is marked up at £35, but will she get it for less?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53- OK, £10.- Halfway. £12.50.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55A tenner and I'll buy you a cup of tea.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Er, a large cup of tea. - A tenner and a large cup of tea.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00Done. Whoo-hoo!
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Yes. It's a brilliant first buy from Bateman the Brave.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Her charm and relentless negotiation have done her proud.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11That's really good fun. I'll double my money, or at the very least, a modest profit.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I don't think from a car boot, we'll get huge profits on anything.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16So, um,...yeah, I really like that.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Sparkling with joy, The Diamond cuts a sharp trail
0:09:19 > 0:09:23around the rest of the boot sale on the hunt for more items.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26The Mighty Maverick, though, is running out of steam.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30I can get tea, I can get coffee, I can get fried-egg sandwiches,
0:09:30 > 0:09:33the one thing I can't get is an antique.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38It's a tough old boot sale for both our experts,
0:09:38 > 0:09:40but for Mark Stacey, it's dog eat dog.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42# Who let the dogs out?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44# Who? Who? Who? Who?
0:09:44 > 0:09:46# Who let the dogs out? #
0:09:46 > 0:09:48How are you?
0:09:48 > 0:09:53And like a dog digging for a bone, he sniffs out his next buy.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Well, what do you think, ladies and gentlemen? Is this a good buy?
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Or is it a hound? Or I'm just plain barking mad?
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Woof!
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Yes, he's finally gone car boot crazy and in the throes of it all,
0:10:06 > 0:10:10he's bought a bulldog cushion for just £2.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13As the sun rises higher in the sky, our rookie has yet to notch up
0:10:13 > 0:10:17her second purchase and Mark is keeping a close eye on her.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Kate, I've got you in my sights.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Mark has swiftly moved onto his next potential profit busters.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28You've got these priced up as a tenner for this and 15 for this?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- That's correct. - Can I be terribly mean, or not?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- You could be terribly mean and get down to about 24 quid.- Come on!
0:10:36 > 0:10:41That only one pound off. Could we possibly do the two for 15?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45I could, at a stretch, do you 20, because you're good-looking.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48- Can I just take it under?- No.- 18?
0:10:48 > 0:10:49Can I just take it over?
0:10:49 > 0:10:51HE LAUGHS
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Shall we say 19?
0:10:53 > 0:10:58- Just to give me a fighting chance? - No, we'll say 20 gives you more than a fighting chance.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I thought on this nice morning everybody was going to be friendly with me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04More than friendly!
0:11:05 > 0:11:09- 20 quid, then. £20 for the two. - Yes, for the two.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13- That's a bargain as the day. - Is that?
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Everybody else's on 25 with the table alone.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- Do you guarantee me a profit? - Absolutely.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- Well, you've got an honest face. - Yes.- I'm going to trust you.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26- £20 for the two.- Fine. - Thank you very much, sir. Thank you.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29The Mighty Maverick has struggled with his bargaining today
0:11:29 > 0:11:32but he's finally managed a sweet deal for the two.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36What have I bought here? I've bought an easel...
0:11:36 > 0:11:41I don't know anybody who wants an easel but is the sort of thing I think Kate might have liked.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43I bought a 1970s gate-leg table.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46It's not the best of its kind,
0:11:46 > 0:11:50it's not really a major Danish or Scandinavian designer,
0:11:50 > 0:11:52but it has got a certain look to it.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Let's be honest, it was 20 quid for the two items.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I mean, that really can't be that much, can it?
0:11:58 > 0:12:03Cheeky tactic, buying the painter's easel just because he didn't want Kate to snap it up.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07But, there's no room for sentiment in this game, just on business.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Let's look at the facts and figures.
0:12:10 > 0:12:15This morning Mark and Kate rocked up with £250 of their own cash.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19Mark has risen to the challenge bagging him a whopping seven items
0:12:19 > 0:12:25for a lean, mean £35 leaving him £215 for the rest of the boot sale.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28It's a different story for booty newbie, Kate.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32She is yet to shift into second gear, bagging just one item
0:12:32 > 0:12:36so far for under £11, including that large cup of tea.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39She's got just over £239 left to spend.
0:12:41 > 0:12:43Mark is way out in front
0:12:43 > 0:12:45but it doesn't take Kate long to pick up her game.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Bateman The Brave, has already honed in on item number two.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53This is quite cool. A musical instrument. Clarinet.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55I'm just seeing if there's any breaks on it,
0:12:55 > 0:12:59any cracks to it that will stop it from being saleable.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03I quite like it. It's not strictly antique, Czechoslovakia Corton.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- How much do you want for it?- I want £50.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11- Oh, I want 20.- 20! No. Please.
0:13:13 > 0:13:20- No, 40 quid will do, then.- 30, come on.- 35. That is a real bargain.
0:13:20 > 0:13:27- 30 and a cup of tea? I'll buy you a cup of tea.- Will you?- Yes. Yes?
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Go on, then.- 30 quid.- Yes, thank you.- Brilliant, shake on it.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33- And I'm going to get my tea? - And a cup of tea, white, no sugar.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37She has done it again. Swinging the dealers with her winning smile
0:13:37 > 0:13:41and that crucial cuppa. Can her tea tactic win the game?
0:13:43 > 0:13:45# And she speaks
0:13:45 > 0:13:47# And she breathes
0:13:47 > 0:13:49# I want to be Kate!
0:13:49 > 0:13:51# Kate!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53# Kate... #
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Can she bring this competition back in the second half,
0:13:57 > 0:14:00come on, Kate, we know you can do it.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02I wonder how Kate is doing?
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I can only imagine she's finding it as much of a challenge as I am.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Or, if I'm very, very lucky, even more so.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14No such luck, Stacey, she has warmed up and is on her game.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Watch out, she's just landed a double whammy.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Well, this is a useful thing to buy.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24My fishing basket cost me £12 and from the same guy
0:14:24 > 0:14:27I also got this, which is vintage motoring.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31Redex is something you would squirt into your car engine.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I'm hoping the £8 I paid this will show me a profit.
0:14:35 > 0:14:40The vintage car enthusiastic that's going to buy the AA badge, might be interested in this.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42This competition is far from done and dusted.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Our fledgling bargain hunter is upping her game
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and her old master is left scouring the aisles for more items.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52People move things, people adjust them,
0:14:52 > 0:14:55the stallholders change their pitches.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59It's always worth keeping your eye out and making sure you have a good rummage.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03And it's not long before he leaps on yet another bargain.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07This has caught my eye, look at this. You might think I am hopping mad.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10It's actually quite fun. It's a little cruet set.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14It's a mother kangaroo here, with her little Joey in her pouch
0:15:14 > 0:15:15and he's the salt.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20She is the pepper. I mean, it's quite crudely made but it is rather fun.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24It's got Japan on the bottom, which gives us an indication it was made
0:15:24 > 0:15:26at the beginning of the 20th century.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30But, there are collectors, for cruet sets.
0:15:30 > 0:15:31If I can get it at a reasonable price...
0:15:31 > 0:15:36What would also be quite fun is if I could find somebody antipodean,
0:15:36 > 0:15:41who might be interested in taking a kangaroo cruet back down under.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44We might even make a few dollars on it.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47He proudly tucks the cruet set in his pouch for just £3.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49His eighth item of the day.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54Kate's tentative start is ancient history. She's whizzing around the fair
0:15:54 > 0:15:58and hones in on something that might make her a pretty profit.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03- How much do you want for your model, your man? He's quite good.- 50p.
0:16:03 > 0:16:0550p! I can't even haggle over 50p.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09I'm going to go for that, I think he's great. Yes, go on, then 50p.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- I've got £1.- Thanks very much.- I've got some change. I quite like him.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18I can make look like Mark Stacey. Here we go.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22- "Oh, why are these so expensive?" - Looks like she's already got the measure of Mark.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26- Thank you very much. Is he named, has he got a name?- Bob.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Come on, Bob, we're going home. I think he's great.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31There's no way I can't make a profit on that for 50p.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Surely that can go to an artist, an art gallery, somebody like that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38These are really expensive in art shops. I see these for £25 to £30.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40I've got to get at least a tenner for that.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43That's going to be a good, quick profit.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46She's got the hang of this and she continues her supermarket sweep,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Mr Stacey is struggling to keep up.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Here I am, fishing for bargains.
0:16:53 > 0:16:58- All I need is a bit of Bateman on the end of my road.- Steady on, Mark.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01Anyway, whilst he's gone fishing, the Diamond's laser beam focus
0:17:01 > 0:17:04has led her to yet another potential profit maker.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07It's a bit of fun but it's a compass in the tyre.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11I think anyone that has the garage or collects vintage cars,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13or something like that, would think that's quite fun.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16These are funny but then not particularly old.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19I think Mark would like those. Cheeky nutcrackers.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23They are great fun. What's on those? 25.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- I think they're good fun, actually. - I can do 20 on those.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30That's quite cool. How much is that, that's quite good, too?
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- £4 each. - OK, I might make a little group.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37We'll try and work out some best prices. I think I want that...
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Kate expertly puts together a job lot, a station whistle, an ashtray,
0:17:41 > 0:17:47a compass, a novelty nutcracker and a miniature telescope for £35.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51I've kind of got buyers in mind for some of them.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52These two, motoring.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57This, I couldn't resist because it's cheeky and this, I just liked.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00There's no other reason and it's a couple of pounds and it's fun.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03If it doesn't sell, I'll give it to my children to play with.
0:18:03 > 0:18:09Like a seasoned professional, she sweeps up another five items into her shopping trolley.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13The stallholders have started to pack up and the boot sale bonanza is coming to a close.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Has Mark Stacey found any more items?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Haven't seen him for a while. There he is.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Way-hay!
0:18:22 > 0:18:27He's all booted out so it's that time again. Who spent what?
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Our collectables connoisseurs started the day
0:18:28 > 0:18:31with £250 of their own money.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Like a raging bull, Mark, the Maverick,
0:18:34 > 0:18:38quickly racked up a eight items, spending just £38.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Our newbie, Kate the Diamond Bateman
0:18:40 > 0:18:43didn't put her foot on the pedal straightaway
0:18:43 > 0:18:45but when she hit the gas, she cleaned up
0:18:45 > 0:18:49bagging ten items, spending more than Mark, just over £97.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's all about who makes the most profit.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I tell you what, I'm quite impressed with your selection, you know.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Do you like it?- I do. There's some really quirky items there.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06I quite like Bob, for 50p, my artist's model. It was brilliant.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- I couldn't even haggle. The cheeky lady nutcrackers, have you seen these?- No, I haven't.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15- Those are great, aren't they?- These are right up your street, look. - I say!- Peachy Nutcracker.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- You've got to the bottom of those, Kate.- Yes.- Those are really fun, aren't they?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Yes, I like those.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I'm feeling a little bit underwhelmed now compared to yours, Kate.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- I found it a real struggle. - It was, yes.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Everything I've bought here has been virtually nothing.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33- The little 1930s jug was £2.- £2!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36I would have paid more than that. That was good.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41I love the little kangaroo cruet set. I actually quite like this, Kate.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I mean, is not the right but it's a Negretti & Zambra.
0:19:45 > 0:19:50- Who are really good.- But, those are little opera glasses, aren't they?
0:19:50 > 0:19:55- No, horseracing.- Even better! Thank you, Kate, that's pushed the price.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59But, my biggest purchase or my most expensive purchase,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02was a 1970s drop leaf dining table.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08- Retro.- You bought that, how much to pay for it?- I paid...
0:20:08 > 0:20:10What do you think, Kate?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- If it was me, firewood, a fiver. - Oh, really.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16I've overpaid, then, I paid 15.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19It is raining and I think it's time we pushed off.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22I want a nice hot bath and a cup of tea. Not together.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- I could do with a gin and tonic. - All right, then. Let's go.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31Best to keep a clear head, Mark, because buying was just beginning.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35This is where the challenge really starts for our big hitters,
0:20:35 > 0:20:39making masses of profit by selling their items.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42And, if anyone can make a pretty penny, it's this pair.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45Our devilish dealers retire to their home turf to crack open
0:20:45 > 0:20:49their contacts books and start bashing those phones.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51They're both in tiptop condition
0:20:51 > 0:20:55and ready for a rumble in the antiques jungle, but they need their wits about them.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59If they are to win, they have to be quick off the mark.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04Looking neat in Northamptonshire, our Diamond girl is a cut above.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06These are the items I got from the boot fair.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10It was tough day. I know what you're thinking, she's bought rubbish.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I think I got the best things for the whole day.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I got this fantastic fishing basket.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17There's a little telescope, a whistle and the cheeky nutcrackers.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21The clarinet, is not old but it's in good condition
0:21:21 > 0:21:23and I think a music shop will be interested in that.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28I've got a motoring enthusiast lined up so we're putting the oil can,
0:21:28 > 0:21:33the two tyre memorabilia pieces and the AA badge altogether as one lot.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37My favourite of the day, I bought myself a man who was 50p.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Bob, look at him. Artist's model, I don't see how I can fail to make a profit on 50p.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47Yes, she's sounding confident. In beautiful Brighton our Maverick is feeling the pressure.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52I found the car boot sale one of the most difficult challenges.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57I've bought a bulldog cushion, a 1970s drop leaf table,
0:21:57 > 0:22:01a rather nice leather binocular case with the wrong binoculars,
0:22:01 > 0:22:02these are racing binoculars.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07A rather fun cruet set in the form of a kangaroo and Joey,
0:22:07 > 0:22:11a modern, decorative box, a 1930s moulded jug,
0:22:11 > 0:22:16an easel and I don't know what possessed me to buy
0:22:16 > 0:22:17a print of Carl Fogarty.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Those are my purchases. You can laugh if you want to.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23We believe in you, Mark.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26Our duelling duo are about to start fighting for sales success
0:22:26 > 0:22:32but remember, until they've shaken on it, and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:22:32 > 0:22:37Kate is first off the blocks and sprints straight to Stamford
0:22:37 > 0:22:39with the clarinet that cost £30 and a cup of tea.
0:22:39 > 0:22:42She visits David, who runs a music shop.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45But, will the Diamond's clarinet hit all the right notes?
0:22:45 > 0:22:50I have the best clarinet you are ever going to see in this box.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Come on, have a look. - Can't wait, I'm so excited.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57- How old do you think it is, then? - I was selling these in the '80s.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Is Corton a particularly good make?
0:22:59 > 0:23:03It's a very basic beginner's model, made in Czechoslovakia.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Is this the sort of thing you might be interested in buying?
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Yes, at the right price. It would be worth doing.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Obviously, we've got to have it repaired.- Yes.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17The pads have got to be changed, quite a few of them.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21- There are no splits as far as I can see.- It's in excellent condition.
0:23:21 > 0:23:25- Beautiful condition. Allowing for repairs, about £40.- Oh...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- OK, I was hoping more around £50. - yes.
0:23:28 > 0:23:33I am trying to make a profit, so can you come up a little bit more?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35- I've said 40.- You want 50.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Well, I kind of wanted a little bit higher than 50. How about 48?
0:23:39 > 0:23:44- Mmm, I think that's fair.- I'm quite happy, £48 sounds like a good deal.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48- I make a profit, you're happy. It's a deal. Thank you very much. - Thank you very much
0:23:48 > 0:23:51Oh, and she's off the mark, scoring her first sale.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55The clarinet brings in a profit to the tune of more than £17.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00I can't believe I sold that clarinet. I was really worried.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03David's bought it, I've got a profit, it is music to my ears.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Come on!
0:24:05 > 0:24:10Mark is hot on their heels. He takes the racing line to Hove to meet dog lovers,
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Hayley and Stephanie and their French bulldog.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19# How much is that doggy in the window? #
0:24:19 > 0:24:22Thank you so much for inviting us into your snug.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25- We're tucked under the main road. - That's right.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28- I can't hear a thing.- No. - Except the dog.- Yeah.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29THEY LAUGH
0:24:29 > 0:24:32He might be laughing but he's come with business in mind.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38As they get comfy in the ladies' underground snug The Maverick whips out his £2 cushion.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41I'll put it down and see if we get any reaction.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Hello, hello he's spotted it's not a French bulldog.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- I think he rather likes it. - I think he loves the cushion.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Look, he's straight onto it.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I'll put it the right way up.
0:24:53 > 0:24:59The odd thing which you would never know is that Hayley's mother and father had a one-eyed bulldog.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00- No.- They did, yes.- Absolutely.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03- You're not serious? - I'm absolutely serious.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05He's called Butch.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- I think that's an amazing story. No, I didn't know that at all. - I know you didn't.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13But I was hoping to get
0:25:13 > 0:25:15£25-ish.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17I actually think that's a very good price
0:25:17 > 0:25:21because it's very special, actually...
0:25:21 > 0:25:22with the bulldog with the one eye.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25And I'm getting good looks from Nils there.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28He's looking at it, and I think he's...
0:25:28 > 0:25:30as I understand French bulldog.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32I do. Watch.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34HE SNORTS
0:25:38 > 0:25:40I think he's... Hello!
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I think he's decided he likes it.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45- Well, I think we've got to call that a deal, don't you? £25?- Certainly.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- Thank you, Hayley.- Thank you. - And thank YOU, Niels, for making it so easy for me.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52A very simple sale for dog whisperer Maverick.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55He settles down with a very comfortable profit of £23.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57At this early stage,
0:25:57 > 0:25:59they're both making decent money,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02and this epic contest is pretty much neck-and-neck,
0:26:02 > 0:26:04so can Kate pull out in front?
0:26:04 > 0:26:07She's back in Stamford with her miniature telescope
0:26:07 > 0:26:09that cost £5, and she meets Angela,
0:26:09 > 0:26:11who runs a vintage shop
0:26:11 > 0:26:14and who's rather an excitable character.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16- I have something in here. - Is it a bird?
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Very small, but I think you're going to be interested in it.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20OK.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21SHE GASPS
0:26:21 > 0:26:23What on earth is that?
0:26:23 > 0:26:24- Look how little!- Pull it out.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28It's the tiniest wee telescope I've ever seen. Oh my goodness!
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Aye, aye, captain!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Can you see me?- Oh, my goodness! - It's good, isn't it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:36It actually works. It's for the tiniest little person ever.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38Oh, my goodness, I can't believe it!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Well, I know we've come to your shop,
0:26:40 > 0:26:45and this is the kind of thing that I know you sell. I think it's probably early 20th century.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- I would like it, thank you very much.- Excellent!
0:26:47 > 0:26:48But we have to haggle.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51It's a little thing, but I'm hoping for a big price, obviously.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Where shall we start?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, how about £20?
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- What?!- That's quite a reaction!
0:26:58 > 0:27:00I would think maybe more about...
0:27:02 > 0:27:03- ..£10.- £10?
0:27:04 > 0:27:06How about we meet in the middle? £15.
0:27:06 > 0:27:07I love it! Yes!
0:27:07 > 0:27:09There we go. Brilliant!
0:27:09 > 0:27:12My lady, thank you so much for the shake on it.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- You can see me going out the door with a profit.- Yes, I can.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Angela couldn't be happier, and neither could Kate.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22She triples her money and heads home with a profit of £10.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24So, if I can keep that as a formula for the rest of my items,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Mark Stacey's not going to stand a chance.
0:27:28 > 0:27:32And the golden girl is really going for it with her smaller items.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34She's fully stoked up
0:27:34 > 0:27:36and has puffed along to her local steam railway,
0:27:36 > 0:27:39and is hoping her whistle will signal a profit
0:27:39 > 0:27:40with stationmaster Chris.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Have a look at this. I thought, "Who uses whistles?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46"Maybe a station master?"
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Well, it's the Acme Thunderer, so it's the real thing.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52Well, the station master doesn't actually have a whistle,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54but the guard does.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58- Ah, OK!- And without his whistle, the train can't leave the station.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00But we're always looking for new guards,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02and always on the lookout for new whistles.
0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Excellent!- So, potentially, yes, I could be interested.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08Price-wise, I was thinking around the sort of £25 mark,
0:28:08 > 0:28:09something like that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's the finest Bakelite.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13As you say, the Acme Thunderer.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15I could possibly look at 10.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17How about 20? I've come down a little.
0:28:17 > 0:28:18£20?
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- I'm feeling generous.- 20? - Let's go for 20.- Brilliant!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Thank you so much. £20. Now, surely, let's give it a go.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27You've got to test that it works, first of all.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31Of course! I'm not paying out £20 without proving that it's the real thing.
0:28:31 > 0:28:33Well, have you got a guard that we can try it on?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36- I'm sure I can find one, Kate. - Ah! Hello, Ian the guard.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39- Hello.- This is Kate. - You've got the puff. Let's do it.
0:28:39 > 0:28:40- OK, then. Cover your ears. - Go on then.
0:28:43 > 0:28:45- It works!- It certainly works!
0:28:45 > 0:28:47And as the whistle blows on the deal,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Kate doubles her money and picks up a profit of £10.
0:28:51 > 0:28:53There you are. Money well earnt.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56Thank you. Can I have a go on the train, then?
0:28:56 > 0:28:57I could use that for a go, couldn't I?
0:28:57 > 0:29:01- What do you think, Ian?- She looks like a good flag-waver to me, Chris.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02- Oh, go on!- All right. You're on.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05MUSIC: "Locomotion" by Kylie Minogue
0:29:05 > 0:29:10She might be the Put Your Money rookie, but she's steaming off ahead of Mark,
0:29:10 > 0:29:12picking up a profit wherever she turns.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17That was amazing! Look at my hands!
0:29:17 > 0:29:20I tell you what, I don't care about the profit.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24That was a price worth paying for that experience. It's been brilliant!
0:29:24 > 0:29:25I am SO ahead of Mark Stacey!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27That was chuffing brilliant!
0:29:29 > 0:29:34And Brighton's looking bright for the Maverick. He's notched up his second sale.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36He haggled for the 1930s jug
0:29:36 > 0:29:38and ended up paying £2 for it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40His contact, Tina, comes to see him
0:29:40 > 0:29:42and likes what she sees.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45- That is great. A fiver. I'm very happy. Thanks very much.- Thank you.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47She takes it off his hands
0:29:47 > 0:29:50and Mark finds himself £3 better off.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53And Kate's got another potential sale lined up.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54She's travelled to the Fennes
0:29:54 > 0:29:56and the small city of Ely
0:29:56 > 0:29:59to meet auctioneer David who sometimes works in her sale room.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02He's a collector of cheeky items
0:30:02 > 0:30:06so she's brought her £15 novelty nutcrackers to see if they tickle his fancy.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Now I know you like this kind of slightly cheeky stuff.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12First impressions, come on?
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Yeah, quite fun. Quite small. - Quite small?
0:30:15 > 0:30:20- Are you familiar with the size of nuts?- Only at Christmas, clearly.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23But that would do the job. I'm sure that would do the job.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25You're not going to get a walnut in there.
0:30:25 > 0:30:30- Oh, you're haggling! Now look, she's cheeky, she's a bit of fun. - Yes, they're are quite fun.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33I see her around the £40 mark.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37Look at you, looking completely gone out, like I've gone off it!
0:30:37 > 0:30:40OK, 30. I've got to make some kind of profit.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- I'd go to 20. But that really is... - 25, come on?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- No, I'm a hard man. - A hard nut to crack!
0:30:47 > 0:30:51Very, very. This, I mean, the joint is very poor.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55- Oh! All right, £20.- Done. Thank you.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Not nearly the profit she was hoping for, but it's not peanuts.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01A cracking profit of £5.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06As we reach the midway stage, how are our bargain beauties getting on?
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Mark the Maverick has so far sold just two of his items,
0:31:10 > 0:31:12making a profit of £26.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Kate the Diamond has been pushing that little bit harder -
0:31:16 > 0:31:19four items gone and a profit of just over £42.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26As Diamond Girl races away, Maverick Mark knows he has got to pull something out of the bag
0:31:26 > 0:31:28to bring the contest back under his control.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31So he gathers together three of his remaining items
0:31:31 > 0:31:35and takes them to a furniture and collectibles dealer in Brighton.
0:31:35 > 0:31:40I have brought along three items I'm hoping to sell as a job lot.
0:31:40 > 0:31:44Now I paid £15 for the table, £5 for the easel
0:31:44 > 0:31:47and just £3 for the small decorative box.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52I'm hoping to get around 50. Whether I do or not is yet to be seen.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- So here they are, it's the 1970s, I think, isn't it? - Mm-mm. Looks it to me.
0:31:56 > 0:32:00Drop leaf dining table. A fairly modern easel.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03And, I mean, quite a modern and decorative box really.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07- It's a nice box. - Now I quoted around 50 quid.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Now you've seen them, are they up to expectations, below expectations?
0:32:10 > 0:32:15I love the box, I like it a lot. I find easels hard to sell at times.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17- They tend to hang around. - The table's nice, I like it.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20So you're saying 50 quid is too much, basically?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23I would pay you...30?
0:32:23 > 0:32:28- Can we get a little bit closer to 40? - I would pay you 40.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30- Are you sure? - I'm sure I would pay you 40, yes.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- I think there's a bit of profit left. - I think there is.- You know what I mean? Even at that price.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38And I've made a very small amount of money in 40 quid.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- So I'm quite happy with that. - Excellent.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- So I'll just take your 40 quid, Martin.- Yes.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46The job lot pays off. In one big deal Mark sells three items
0:32:46 > 0:32:50and makes a very useful £17 profit.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54Our two sparring salespeople are now too close to call.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58But as we enter the final straits, Kate shows no signs of letting up.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03She's keen to make a bumper profit on the artist model she calls Bob.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06She bought him for just 50 pence and has brought him to a gallery
0:33:06 > 0:33:09in Oundle, Northamptonshire to meet artist Holly.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11This is Bob. He came from an artist.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14And I'm hoping he'll go back to an artist.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16So is he - is Bob an antique?
0:33:16 > 0:33:21He's not, but he's well used. I think he's about 20 years old, maybe 30 years old maximum.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Is he the sort of thing that you might need?
0:33:23 > 0:33:27I'm hoping to be an art teacher, so this would probably be quite good for my students.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Exactly. There you go. It is basically for that, for you to pose and put it in,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33and kind of get the rough proportions of it.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- How does £15 sound to you? - 15? Well...
0:33:37 > 0:33:41- He's solid wood. - Yes, but I have seen them for...
0:33:41 > 0:33:44As you say, they do sell them in art shops for a bit cheaper than that.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48He's about half the price of a new one and he's already been antiqued.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53- Look, he's got some patina on him. - Um, what about...- Am I selling him? - 10? 10?
0:33:53 > 0:33:57- How about we meet in the middle. I would go 12.- 12.- £12?
0:33:57 > 0:34:02- Eh... Tw...oh! - That's only a couple of coffees!
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Um, OK... I'm going to stick at 10. I'm going to stick at 10.
0:34:06 > 0:34:12She's tough, she is tough! £10, sold! I will take your £10. Thank you.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Polly strikes a hard bargain and Bob strikes a pose.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18Kate sells him for 19 times what she paid
0:34:18 > 0:34:21and makes a profit of £9.50.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25The going is good for both our wily wheeler dealers.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Mark has picked up his pace and is now galloping along
0:34:28 > 0:34:31and he's geed up by his next potential sale.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34I'm so excited today. I'm going to the races.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37I've come to my local course, Brighton Racecourse,
0:34:37 > 0:34:42to meet the general manager, Callum, to hopefully sell the racing binoculars and case,
0:34:42 > 0:34:45that I bought at the car boot sale, remember, for £4.
0:34:45 > 0:34:50I quoted between £20-£30, potentially quite a good profit.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53But will they be odds-on favourite to win? I simply don't know
0:34:53 > 0:34:56but I'm going to find out right now.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Those are the actual glasses.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02They're in this actual box, which is Negretti & Zambra of London.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06They're scientific instrument makers. The box is really nice. I love it.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10It's a nice old antique box. The glasses are Parisian.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14But I think the two pieces didn't originally start life together.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16- OK.- But they've have been here for some time.- Yeah.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19What better place to sell them than a racecourse?
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Yeah, it's quite handy for us because we have a members' lounge.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27And, um, I've been looking for a pair of binoculars recently
0:35:27 > 0:35:29to put there so the members could use them on race day.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- So somebody could just grab them... - Yeah, they just grab them, yeah.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35What are you feeling? What could you offer?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39The problem is I've not had many winning bets recently! Cash is a bit tight now.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43But, um, I was thinking about starting at about £10?
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- Is that rude? - I think if you were happy to say,
0:35:47 > 0:35:50"Let's settle for 15 quid", then I would be happy with that.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- I think that seems reasonable, Mark. - Is it?- That seems reasonable. Yes. Thank you very much.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58The binoculars do the business.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00They romp home with a profit of £11.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Before he hands them over, Mark can't resist
0:36:03 > 0:36:06taking the glasses up to the stand.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09WOMAN SCREAMS
0:36:09 > 0:36:12That was so close, I don't know who's won.
0:36:12 > 0:36:17Is it Maverick Mark or Diamond Kate? I think it's a photo finish!
0:36:17 > 0:36:19Yes, it's looking that way, Maverick.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22As Mark canters off to find his next sale,
0:36:22 > 0:36:25we find our diamond dame at a very peaceful Rutland water.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29And she's ditched her usual classy clothes.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33You may well be wondering what I'm doing by the side of a lake dressed up like this.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36And to be fair, so am I. But I've come here to see Rob,
0:36:36 > 0:36:38who teaches fishing. He's promised to take me out.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41But first of all I'm hoping I can sell him my basket.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44A fishing basket I bought for £12. I'm sure there's a profit there.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49And, well quite frankly, I've got all the gear and no idea. Let's go.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- What do you think, first impressions? - Is there any beer in it?- Sadly not.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57- I don't like it!- Oh, what!- No! - Come on, you're a fisherman.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- Is this the basket then? - This is the basket.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03To be honest, I don't know how old it is. I think it's got some age.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Sometimes I take families and young kids
0:37:06 > 0:37:09when they want to catch fish and we go coarse fishing.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12This is the sort of thing that I can picture them sitting on.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Very handy for putting your dirty boots inside if you haven't caught any fish.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20If you saw this at an antiques fair, what sort of price would you pay for it?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- I don't know, what's it worth, 10, 20 quid?- How about 30?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- I'll come down a bit. - You'll come down to 30?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- What about we meet in the middle, Kate? - Oh, he's a hard bargain!
0:37:30 > 0:37:34- Go on, 30. Every penny counts. - Seeing as it's you.
0:37:34 > 0:37:38- I, I... You could take me fishing as well. OK,- it's a deal.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- Yeah?- All right then.- Brilliant. - OK.- Thank you very much. Woo-hoo!
0:37:41 > 0:37:44# Gone fishing... #
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Another big catch for Kate.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50The basket reels in a profit of £18.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54Mark has almost sold up. Just two more items to get rid of.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57He nips to the beach to meet his contact Peter.
0:37:57 > 0:38:02Here's hoping he'll jump at the kangaroo cruet set that cost him £3.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I mean, is it something you...
0:38:04 > 0:38:06- It's something I like.- Is it?
0:38:06 > 0:38:08- Very much.- It's quirky, isn't it?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10It's quirky, absolutely.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13Could we start on...above £10?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15Oh, actually, I was going to say 12.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17- Oh, 12?- My lucky number.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Well, I'm amazed. Yes, £12, you've got a deal.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23The sun seems to have got to Peter's head.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25But that works in Mark's favour.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27£9 for his profit pouch.
0:38:27 > 0:38:30It's been going swimmingly for our plucky pair.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34They've been sweeping up the deals like there's no tomorrow
0:38:34 > 0:38:37but that's where the good times end for our tip-top traders.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39It looks like their luck has legged it.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42The thing I'm stuck with, not surprisingly,
0:38:42 > 0:38:44is the Carl Fogarty print.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48I've tried a few sources. It's not racing away at all.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50The big problem - it's not signed.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52It's just a framed print,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54and I can't even sell the frame.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Keep plugging away, Maverick. SOMEONE must want it
0:38:57 > 0:39:00and don't be downhearted, as the Diamond has also lost her sparkle.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04What a nightmare. These motoring things are giving me more grief
0:39:04 > 0:39:07then my other items put together. I thought they'd be easy to sell,
0:39:07 > 0:39:11they'd go to a vintage collector, but nobody's been interested.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14They cost me £23, but I've had a brainwave.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15I've come to this motoring museum.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19They've got loads of vintage cars, vintage planes, and vintage items
0:39:19 > 0:39:22and I'm pretty sure they'll be interested in them.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25I've come to see a guy here, to see if he wants to buy them
0:39:25 > 0:39:26so wish me luck.
0:39:28 > 0:39:29So, Paul, tell me honestly,
0:39:29 > 0:39:33what do you think of my fabulous collection of vintage car things?
0:39:33 > 0:39:34And where did you get these?
0:39:34 > 0:39:37I'll be honest, this was a car boot sale, but I worked hard,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40I had to search from different people to get this group together.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42For my own collection,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45I would possibly see this on a shelf somewhere.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47What are the other things you've got?
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I've got an ashtray with a tyre, and a compass with a tyre,
0:39:50 > 0:39:51which I think, they're a bit of fun.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54They're vintage, they're quite kitsch, but I think
0:39:54 > 0:39:57if you put those in a garage with the rest of your stuff
0:39:57 > 0:39:58they'd be quite fun.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Yeah, I guess I'd possibly be interested in this.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06- I'm not sure about the ashtray. I'm not a smoker.- Well, they're a job lot
0:40:06 > 0:40:09so if you love one, you have to take the rest, I'm afraid.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11I've got to get rid of them all as a group.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Well, really, I'm only interested in this
0:40:13 > 0:40:17but if you want the whole lot to go, I'd probably give you...
0:40:18 > 0:40:19..£10?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22My goodness, no, it cost me more than that.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Really?- I was hoping for more like £35 for the group.- Really?
0:40:25 > 0:40:30Yeah, cos I think £10 for this one and the car badge at least, each.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32And that, maybe £10, I think it's quite fun.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34How about 30? I'm coming down a bit.
0:40:34 > 0:40:3725 and that is it. That's my last offer.
0:40:37 > 0:40:3928 and a ride in a car.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42No. 25 and you get a ride in the car.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I honestly think I can sell these for more. 26!
0:40:45 > 0:40:47Come on, one more pound.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50You'll have to dig around in your car somewhere,
0:40:50 > 0:40:51down the side of a sofa.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53- Done.- 26 and a ride in a car.
0:40:53 > 0:40:54- Done.- Hurray!
0:40:54 > 0:40:56She pulls it off, but only just.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58All the various car collectables
0:40:58 > 0:41:01make a profit of a little over £2.
0:41:01 > 0:41:03That may not have been a huge profit
0:41:03 > 0:41:06but I bet I'm having way more fun then you are, Mark Stacey.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09MUSIC: "I Get Around" by The Beach Boys
0:41:12 > 0:41:17Our mighty Maverick never did find anyone to buy his motorcycle print.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19It goes unsold, a complete waste of his money
0:41:19 > 0:41:22and he makes a loss of £4.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25The challenge is over. With all their items accounted for,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28we'll soon find out which of our dealers has done the deed.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31They both arrived at the car boot sale
0:41:31 > 0:41:35with £250 burning holes in their pockets.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38The Maverick snapped up eight items,
0:41:38 > 0:41:40costing him a minuscule £38.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42The Diamond, however, spent much more,
0:41:42 > 0:41:45ten items for just over £97,
0:41:45 > 0:41:49including the cups of tea she bought to push through those purchases.
0:41:49 > 0:41:54But buying and selling is one thing. It's the profit that really counts.
0:41:54 > 0:42:00All the money Mark and Kate made from today's challenge will go to a charity of their choice.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03So without further ado, it's time to find out who is today's
0:42:03 > 0:42:06Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Hello, Mark.- Hello, Kate.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- How are things, all right?- I'm good.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- The car boots?- Yes, it was a toughie, actually.- It was terrible!
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Lots of modern stuff, not much antiques.- Terrible stuff.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21We both spent very little. I think we probably made very little profit.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22I think you did better than me.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I liked your selection. You had a keen eye.
0:42:24 > 0:42:27I don't like saying this, but I think it's true.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Look at this! Magnanimous to the end.- No, I am.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31You might not say that if you win.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Come on, let's have a look.- OK.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Ready?- One, two, three....
0:42:37 > 0:42:40- Oh!- Oh, Kate!- Just again!
0:42:40 > 0:42:43- You've done it again!- Yes! - Very close again, though, Kate.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- We are pretty evenly matched. - We are.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47In both spending and actual profit.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Absolutely, which is very worrying.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53God. How I got something in common with Mark Stacey? That's worrying.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Congratulations, Kate. You've won this battle
0:42:56 > 0:42:58- but not the war.- Oh!
0:43:00 > 0:43:04Our fresh-faced new girl comes up trumps, a convincing win.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06She really is a Diamond dealer.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10I can't believe I've come out the winner, I made such a small profit,
0:43:10 > 0:43:13but Mark made £10 less, so that's the name of the game.
0:43:13 > 0:43:14This one's to me.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17As you know, I only spent £38, so I wasn't expecting to win this one
0:43:17 > 0:43:21because I genuinely thought Kate bought a lot more interesting items then me.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24No time for Mark to fret. He could pull it all back tomorrow
0:43:24 > 0:43:28when our gorgeous gladiators are battling it out
0:43:28 > 0:43:30at an antiques market in Paris.
