0:00:01 > 0:00:05This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is, the show that takes
0:00:05 > 0:00:10the titans of the antiques trade and pitches them against each other,
0:00:10 > 0:00:15to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19That's amazing. Truly amazing.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23Today antiques power-house James Lewis takes on super-smoothy Jonty Hearnden,
0:00:23 > 0:00:27in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Coming up, our experts push their luck with every deal...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33So what price is this? 60 quid.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36I think you'll add another 100 and then we get there.
0:00:36 > 0:00:41They demonstrate the coolness under fire you need to be a dealer...
0:00:41 > 0:00:44If you don't buy it now, that queue behind you'll buy it.
0:00:44 > 0:00:49See, I'm so confident there isn't one, I'm not even looking!
0:00:49 > 0:00:52..and show there's always more than one way to reach a deal.
0:00:52 > 0:00:58- This is where turn them that way round...- In for a duel?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02James and Jonty stand by, to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Settle in and watch the cream of the crop rise to the top,
0:01:18 > 0:01:22as the daredevil dealer from Derbyshire...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27..takes on the strongest ox in Oxfordshire...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32It's going to be a roller coaster ride
0:01:32 > 0:01:35of dealer daring do, as our duelling dealers
0:01:35 > 0:01:39duck and dive in desperation to destroy each other,
0:01:39 > 0:01:43by making a profit from buying and selling antiques.
0:01:43 > 0:01:48In one corner the Lionheart, our dealing juggernaut.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51No point in bringing it if you're not going to spend it.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55In the other the Hitman, renowned for his laserbeam focus.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59I am going to go round like a preying eagle.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Our boys are at the East of England Showground, home to
0:02:02 > 0:02:05the Peterborough Festival Of Antiques and they're on a mission
0:02:05 > 0:02:10to unearth hidden gems they can sell for a rip-roaring profit.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14They've got a budget of £750 to spend,
0:02:14 > 0:02:17and all their profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21Ladies and gentlemen, strap yourselves in,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23as we release the dealers!
0:02:23 > 0:02:27- James, good to see you. - Jonty!- How are you?- Very well.
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Isn't it lovely here in Peterborough?- It is.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33So, £750 for the antiques fair. What are you going to spend it on?
0:02:33 > 0:02:36You know I like furniture, I will buy anything,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39I promise you, anything, that will turn me a profit.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41What about you?
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I am going to stick to my preferred bronzes, treen,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46maybe even a bit of furniture.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50- Really? Race you to it! Battle's on. - Which way?- That way.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54And there they go like two exuberant schoolboys on sports day.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58James Lewis, a dealing powerhouse, just bursting with energy
0:02:58 > 0:03:03and enthusiasm, and Jonty Hearnden, master tactician,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07his razor-sharp mind racing through strategies.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09James likes furniture, does he?
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Well, that's my territory,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14but little does he know that I like bronzes and treen as well.
0:03:14 > 0:03:20So both our warring warriors fancy plundering each other's territory.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23What a battle of guile and cunning this looks set to be.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26But, while Jonty pins down a winning plan,
0:03:26 > 0:03:30James homes in on a Tunbridge box and a carved cork ornament.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Give you 100 quid for the two.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36How about 105?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39How about 115 for the two and that's a bargain!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- 110 and you've got yourself a deal. - Give me your money.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47When it was made this was a tourist object,
0:03:47 > 0:03:51probably made in Singapore or China, but carved out of cork,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54and the work that has gone into that is incredible.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58This object, far more quality, and a traditional antique.
0:03:58 > 0:04:03A Tunbridge Ware workbox made around 1860, 1870,
0:04:03 > 0:04:08wonderful inlay, and this is known as the tumbling block pattern.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Yes, bit of a condition problem, but by the time we've spent
0:04:11 > 0:04:14somewhere between £50 and £100 on restoration,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17hopefully, there might still be £100 profit in it for me.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Yes, that's a mighty opening salvo from the Lionheart.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24His keen eye and bulging pocket have bagged him
0:04:24 > 0:04:27two potentially profit-busting deals,
0:04:27 > 0:04:30leaving dear old Jonty floundering on the start line.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Sometimes you might go for a good half an hour
0:04:34 > 0:04:38without spotting a thing, but, all of a sudden, voom, there you are,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41the little gem is sitting there, waiting for you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43But I haven't spotted it yet.
0:04:46 > 0:04:50Jonty, don't lose hope!
0:04:50 > 0:04:53You've got to stay strong!
0:04:53 > 0:04:56You've got to pick yourself up! And get out there!
0:04:57 > 0:05:02Because the right one, it could be just around the corner.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07# Been around the world and I, I, I, I can't find my baby. #
0:05:07 > 0:05:12The Hitman won't rest in his quest to find the jewel in Peterborough's crown.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14James isn't precious.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19He looks like he'll buy any old piece of wood as long as the price is right.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- What's it for measuring? - It's for measuring spirits or beers.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The depth in something?
0:05:24 > 0:05:27They used to go round breweries, check barrels and things.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I don't want it, I have no idea who to sell it to,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- I'll give you a tenner for it.- No. - Split the difference, 15 quid.- No.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38That's as far as I am going.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41All right, I really wouldn't know what to do with it.
0:05:41 > 0:05:4520 quid. Do you know anyone who'd want that?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- It's a quirky thing. - 15 quid, for a laugh.
0:05:49 > 0:05:54- 18 and we've got a deal.- I'm not quibbling over three quid.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I am bonkers. I am completely insane.- Are you taking it with you?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Curiosity got the better of the Lionheart.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03He pays £18 for the stick, but isn't entirely sure what it is,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07but it's not long before a kind passerby offers some key info.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- Petroleum spirit, is it? - Could be,
0:06:10 > 0:06:13because in the early days, when they dipped tanks,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17used to dip your tank and that's how you used to do it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19So it's for petrol, not beer?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- It could be for petrol. - Things are looking up!
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- 'A Lionheart lightbulb moment.' - Thank you very much.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32I do know a man who collects classic cars,
0:06:32 > 0:06:36who bought a petrol pump at auction, about a year ago.
0:06:36 > 0:06:37Ha ha!
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Yes, that little chuckle tells us that James has a cunning plan.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45He's racing ahead, whereas the Hitman has still to make a purchase.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Come on, Jonty, get cracking!
0:06:48 > 0:06:50You've really got to cover the miles,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52so comfortable shoes is what you need.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Well, there's a tip for you!
0:06:54 > 0:06:59Jonty is floating like a butterfly, but can he sting like a bee?
0:06:59 > 0:07:02After some vigorous digging, he's unearthed something
0:07:02 > 0:07:05that speaks to him, the Victorian planter.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Sir, can I just ask you about this planter here?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- How much is it?- 100.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14What's the death on it? What would you...
0:07:14 > 0:07:20- 85.- 85. What about 70?
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I could knock another five off, 80, but that would be the death, I'm afraid.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- Right, I am going to buy it from you. - Lovely, thank you.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31After a desperately slow start,
0:07:31 > 0:07:35the Hitman finally bags his first bargain,
0:07:35 > 0:07:38but, there's no time to rest those weary loafers, no!
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Because buoyed by his successful trio of treasures,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45James the juggernaut is hammering home his advantage.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Next to catch his razor-sharp eye, is a tin helmet for £20.
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Fantastic!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54There we go, thank you!
0:07:54 > 0:07:57But for Jonty, that elusive killer collectable is still to be found.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01He's got to start bagging more items to start any stand
0:08:01 > 0:08:04any chance of nailing his nemesis.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07- Excuse me, how much is your Art Deco lady?- She's 45.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Tell me about these.
0:08:11 > 0:08:16- I think they're grave markers. - Grave markers.- Yes, a bit morbid.
0:08:16 > 0:08:22- People use them as house numbers. They're 20 each.- 20 each, are they?
0:08:22 > 0:08:27- How many have you got, in total? - Seven.- Seven in total.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- 100 would be the best offer. - You'd not do them for slightly less?
0:08:32 > 0:08:35I can't, no, they're 20 each, that's a good price.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Would you do them for 80? I'll take the whole lot.
0:08:38 > 0:08:43- What about if I bought the lady, there.- 120.- 120 for the lot. OK.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46- You've got yourself a deal.- OK. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Yes, that's the Hearnden we know and love.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Two more pieces on the pile and the Hitman is back in the ring.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And he goes from strength to strength, upping his game
0:08:56 > 0:09:02by netting a 1966 World Cup annual and a souvenir beer mat for £15.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Jonty might be doing the hot shoe shuffle,
0:09:05 > 0:09:07but he can't catch James.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The Lionheart is relentless, stalking this market,
0:09:10 > 0:09:15and he picks up a French feline ceramic for £25.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Being a Lionheart, who can resist a rather good-looking lioness?
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Showing no fear, Lionheart continues to prowl the hunting ground
0:09:25 > 0:09:31and pounces on a pair of tankards that the stallholder wants £80 for.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35You've come down to 80 for me. Is there a bit more movement?
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Tell you why, we've a bit of damage there and damage on that one.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- It's character.- It's character, I acknowledge that, but it's like me,
0:09:44 > 0:09:48I've got plenty of wrinkle and lots of chub,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50and I'd rather have no chub and no wrinkles.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54It's character I could do without, so's that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Another fiver off, 75 quid, but that would be the very least.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- Absolute death?- It is the death.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03£75. Cheers, James.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04Thank you very much.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Like a well oiled machine,
0:10:07 > 0:10:11the Lionheart expertly executes yet another deal.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16Our dealers started the day with £750 of their own cash
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and, so far, it's James's game.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22He spent £248 on a whopping six items,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25leaving him with £502 in his pocket.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Jonty, on the other hand, has only bagged four items,
0:10:29 > 0:10:32spending £215, leaving him with £535 to play with.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41It's proving to be a long, hard morning for our warring warriors,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45and they've still got mountains of money burning holes in their pockets.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49The Lionheart is bounding around the showground
0:10:49 > 0:10:53sticking his fingers into all sorts of pies.
0:10:53 > 0:10:55But it's not so tasty for Jonty.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56He still hasn't found The One.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00And he's beginning to feel like a lovelorn teenager.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02# Been around the world and I, I, I
0:11:02 > 0:11:05# I can't find my baby... #
0:11:05 > 0:11:08While young Master Hearnden ponders his problems,
0:11:08 > 0:11:11the mighty James Lewis is getting rid of his readies.
0:11:11 > 0:11:16He's just forked out £120 for his seventh purchase.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20One of the most common questions I am asked is, what is fashionable?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22What is doing well at the moment?
0:11:22 > 0:11:25And the answer to that is anything Chinese.
0:11:25 > 0:11:30This is a Chinese lacquer casket then detailed in gold.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34Look at these wonderfully detailed Chinese warriors,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37with bamboo standing tall behind them.
0:11:37 > 0:11:39And, if we open the cover...
0:11:41 > 0:11:46..the liner here is made of paktong, which is a form of Chinese pewter.
0:11:46 > 0:11:49We've got a little ivory button handle there,
0:11:49 > 0:11:54and if we open it up, just an open space, to contain tea.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59So, this lacquer box would've been made in China
0:11:59 > 0:12:04and exported full of tea.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08And it would have been exported for some very rich person,
0:12:08 > 0:12:12because, to be able to hold that much tea, you would need to be
0:12:12 > 0:12:16the equivalent, in today's market, of a multimillionaire.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19I'm hoping that some multimillionaire might like it back.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23James Lewis might have just struck gold with his Chinese tea box.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25But, what of Jonty?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28Has the monarch of mahogany, the warrior of wardrobes,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32the Chippendale of chairs, found the answer to his prayers?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36# I need a hero
0:12:36 > 0:12:39# I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
0:12:39 > 0:12:43# He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast... #
0:12:43 > 0:12:47What I'm really looking for is that really meaty item.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51I want to invest in a big lump. But I haven't found it yet.
0:12:53 > 0:12:57Hmm, and the Hitman's not alone. James has cheekily changed tack.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01He is now concentrating his search on Jonty's specialist subject,
0:13:01 > 0:13:06furniture, and he's pinpointed a George III corner cabinet.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Will you take 160 on it?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11165.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13It's quite clean.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18It's a nice shape, nice escutcheons, nice bit of blind fret.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- The things that put me off is that. - Yes, I know what you're saying.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24That missing. And that is the killer.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Yeah, I agree.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Go on, I'll do you 160, then. - You've got a deal.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31The audacity!
0:13:31 > 0:13:35By buying furniture, the Lionheart's trespassing on Jonty's specialist area.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38As we reach the latter stages of this buying battle,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42it's every man for himself, and the Hitman comes out hard.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44In fact, he's going global.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49So, this, this is an English globe.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51What sort of date is this?
0:13:51 > 0:13:56Now, Israel's one of the great things that you can look for because you can go bang, 1947.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Look on there, and we have it? Do we have Israel there?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02It's very small. We're not quite sure.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06That's how you date globes - by looking at it from a political point of view, don't you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:10Political, and occasionally, for early globes, it's geographical.
0:14:10 > 0:14:11It's what's been discovered.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Yes, absolutely.- And the globe is in very good condition.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It's surprisingly good.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- I quite like the colour of this, actually.- It's nice.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21So, what sort of price is it? 60 quid?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25I think you'll have to add another 100, and then we get about there.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27- 160 for it?- Yes, it is.- Right, OK.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Well, I've got to make a profit on this.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34And 160 quid is no use to me whatsoever.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Well, you've got to try harder with your customers.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Well, I'm going to try very hard and say 130.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'm going to try even harder and say 145.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Come on, let's... 135.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49No, it's got to be around the 140 mark.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53That's twice I've come down, and twice you've gone up.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I don't know whether we're winning or losing here!
0:14:56 > 0:14:57Let's shake on that. 140 quid?
0:14:57 > 0:15:01- If I can get you to hold that, I need to get my hand in my pocket. - Excellent.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05Yes, the Hitman, the smoothest dealer in town.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07The world is his oyster.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10I'm really very pleased with my purchases.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13It's a fabulous day. It's a great day to be at a market like this.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15Do you know what? I feel like a kid in a sweet shop.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19This is my kind of place to be. My territory.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21James, keep off my patch.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25# I am the one and only #
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Yes, that's the spirit, Jonty! You're on the rise.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31But, James is hot stuff, too.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36Adored by the public, and racing round this market like a man possessed.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40He's looking for more car and petrol-related paraphernalia,
0:15:40 > 0:15:45and he's found some petrol cans he thinks he can make a profit on.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Would you mind if we made a cheeky offer?- Go on.- Fiver the pair?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- Fiver the pair? They're yours. - Brilliant. Thank you.
0:15:50 > 0:15:55And a fire blanket holder, bought for £15.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58If you don't buy it now, that queue behind you will buy it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02See, I'm so confident there isn't one that I'm not even looking!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05James is motoring around this antiques market,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10and it seems poor old Jonty has no idea how fast he is working.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14Now, James is suffering the same problem that I'm suffering from.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18We are looking for that one item, maybe two or three items,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20but we are looking for that one item
0:16:20 > 0:16:24that's going to give us a great return, a great profit.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27It's really interesting. I mean, there's so many items here.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31In fact, just down here, there's row upon row of sheds where,
0:16:31 > 0:16:35inside, are just full of dealers, full of items to sell.
0:16:35 > 0:16:40But can I find a profit? Can I find that really big profit?
0:16:40 > 0:16:41I haven't found it yet.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43Hmmm! Jonty's drowning in a tumultuous sea
0:16:43 > 0:16:45of thousands of antiques
0:16:45 > 0:16:48and he's desperately looking for that hidden treasure.
0:16:48 > 0:16:54But, James's plan to cobble together a similar group of car-related items is still his priority.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58OK, still looking for things to accompany those petrol cans
0:16:58 > 0:17:02and my petrol measuring stick, to try to get a little group
0:17:02 > 0:17:06of automobilia together for my one potential buyer.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08Just hope he's interested in them.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Haven't seen him for years. He might have moved.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14In that case, I'm done for.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17Yes, that could be a fly in the ointment, but, before long,
0:17:17 > 0:17:19he finds an enamelled sign for £37
0:17:19 > 0:17:22that matches his collection perfectly.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27Well, at last. I've got my enamelled sign. It's a good, big one.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30You know, that, in the courtyard with his classic cars,
0:17:30 > 0:17:34a couple of petrol cans, and a measuring stick.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Oh, well, at least it makes the trip worthwhile.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39But this buying machine doesn't stop there.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44His 12th item of the day is a pair of silver candlesticks that cost him £70.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46Thank you.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49Meanwhile, Jonty's found himself an Art Deco perfume bottle.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53What could be the damage on that?
0:17:55 > 0:17:5640?
0:17:56 > 0:17:5840?
0:17:59 > 0:18:02- £35.- 35?- Yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06- I think it's quite sweet, actually.- It is, I suppose.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09I've got to find the right buyer. Nice design. Brilliant.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Can I put that there for safekeeping?
0:18:12 > 0:18:13- Yes.- 35, it is.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16See what I've got in my pocket.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20His final item of the day is in the bag for £35.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22This is a beautiful item.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24I'm not going to make very much profit on it,
0:18:24 > 0:18:26but I just think it's charming.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27And, if you're a dealer,
0:18:27 > 0:18:30you can always make profits on items that you just love.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Is this love?
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Could this be the hidden gem he's been holding out for?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37# Is this love?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41# Is this love? #
0:18:42 > 0:18:46And, as Jonty wraps up his spending spree,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49unstoppable James is taking one last pop.
0:18:49 > 0:18:53He's found a Japanese fruitwood carving that needs a little bit of TLC.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57I reckon, I'll say this, I think, if he had his eyes,
0:18:57 > 0:19:02if he had his horn, and if he wasn't damaged there, and he had his base,
0:19:02 > 0:19:07I think he's part of a bigger group, which is why he hasn't got a base.
0:19:07 > 0:19:12I think he would be, I think the quality of the carving is top-notch,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16top-quality export carving, and I think he's 300 quid, perfect.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18That's what I think.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I think he's lovely quality.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22But I think, the damage...
0:19:22 > 0:19:23There's a lot of damage there.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25But there we go.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- 45 quid.- You've got a deal.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33Of all of the things that I bought today, this is one of my favourites.
0:19:33 > 0:19:35James ends on a high.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39And as the stallholders pack up the fair, our wheeler-dealers
0:19:39 > 0:19:42can sit back and bask in the glory of a successful day's shopping.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45So, just how much money did they spend?
0:19:45 > 0:19:49They both started the day with £750.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52James has spent £700 on 13 items,
0:19:52 > 0:19:56not leaving much to pay for any restoration.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01But, Jonty only has six items to his name, spending just £390.
0:20:03 > 0:20:08Time for our warring warriors to spy out each other's strengths and weaknesses.
0:20:08 > 0:20:09It's quite extraordinary.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13We've ended up with quite a lot of items, haven't we, really?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16We certainly have and, you know, if somebody said to me,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19at the beginning of the day, that I was going to end up with
0:20:19 > 0:20:23two petrol cans, a wooden stick, a red fire blanket box,
0:20:23 > 0:20:26and half of this stuff, I'd have thought they were mad.
0:20:26 > 0:20:28And here are my gravestone markers.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- They're huge. We could do some serious damage with those. - I have quite a few of those.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35I have to say, I've got a confession to make,
0:20:35 > 0:20:37that I really don't like buying reproduction.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40But I have a lady that I had to take home with me.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42What a surprise, Jonty ends up with a lady.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46You always end up with the ladies! You've got a reputation for it.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48Well done you!
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And a lovely globe. I'm pleased with my globe. Good quality.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So commercial. I think you'll do well with that.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57I paid quite a lot of money for it, but we'll have to wait and see.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59For the right person, that could do really well.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01We have quite a bit of selling to do.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03It's easy, buying, but try the selling.
0:21:03 > 0:21:04Good luck.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Same to you.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12Our monolithic maestros are only halfway through
0:21:12 > 0:21:15today's epic challenge, but buying was just the easy bit.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Now, they must concentrate all their efforts on selling their items.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23And they only have eyes for one thing. Making profit.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27The Hitman and the Lionheart are warriors in peak physical condition,
0:21:27 > 0:21:30but this is about more than just brute strength.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33It's about mental agility. Precision planning.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And the shrewdest use of knowledge and cunning.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39And in oh-so-lovely Oxfordshire,
0:21:39 > 0:21:41Jonty is busy beefing up his big plan.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44I'm disappointed that I didn't come away with anything meaty,
0:21:44 > 0:21:47like, a piece of furniture, so I had to shop around for other things.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50But I am pleased with a lot of my purchases.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52The Art Deco perfume bottle, wonderful.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56One of the first things I bought, though, were some grave markers.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59I just thought they were fascinating objects.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02A wirework planter stand, I'm sure I can get that away.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04The lady statue,
0:22:04 > 0:22:06the 1966 World Cup stuff,
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I think I've got just the buyer for that. And the globe?
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Well, where on earth am I going to sell that?
0:22:12 > 0:22:15I need to get on the phone... to make some enquiries.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18In the delectable dales of Derbyshire,
0:22:18 > 0:22:22James is preparing to bring out the big guns.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25There are certain things I'm convinced I've got a buyer for.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29There's that fire blanket case, the enamelled sign,
0:22:29 > 0:22:33the measuring stick and the pair of American petrol cans.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Those, I'm sure, I can sell quite easily as a group.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38Then there are other things like the pewter tankards,
0:22:38 > 0:22:41the Japanese figure, that I bought for £45.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43And it is damaged, but it's still a good thing.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47So fingers crossed, and I hope I'll come out a winner.
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Hmm. Mr Lewis has a hefty haul to hustle today.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54He also needs to sell a Tunbridge box, a Chinese cork picture,
0:22:54 > 0:22:57a tin helmet,
0:22:57 > 0:22:58a green lioness statue,
0:22:58 > 0:23:00a Chinese lacquer antique box,
0:23:00 > 0:23:03a George III corner cabinet
0:23:03 > 0:23:05and two silver candlesticks.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09Our boys must now start selling like their lives depend on it.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12But until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands,
0:23:12 > 0:23:15no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18James is the first antiques athlete off the starting blocks.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21He takes his tin helmet and heads to Nottingham to meet Rosie,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25who runs a pub, which is said to be the oldest inn in England.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28- So, do you like it? - Think it's interesting.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30It looks better off your head than on it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:35Despite the dark, he sees his way to selling it for £110,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37a heavy profit of £90.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39And, once he starts, he doesn't stop.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The Lionheart light-foots it across to Leicestershire.
0:23:43 > 0:23:47He's got Richard in his sights, who collects classic memorabilia.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51And James has plenty to tempt him with
0:23:51 > 0:23:54a combo of items that he paid a total of £75 for.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58What do you think? I think it's a really good look.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Very nice, James, you know me too well, don't you?
0:24:03 > 0:24:04I love that.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08- It's wonderful, isn't it? - Late '30s, possibly.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Very good condition, really, considering its age,
0:24:11 > 0:24:14and it's probably been outside most of the time.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Petrol cans I already have, but you can never have too many, can you?
0:24:18 > 0:24:19Brilliant.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21Measuring stick.
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Have a look on the back.
0:24:23 > 0:24:28Dring and Paige of London, makers to the customs and excise.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Right, nice to get something back from the taxman, really, isn't it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I think it's a petrol measuring stick.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38It is, they used to dip it, when they were dipping the things in it
0:24:38 > 0:24:42to get the amount of fuel they've got in it,
0:24:42 > 0:24:45they were testing it, to get the octane level.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- It is that. - And of course, the fire blanket.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51At the end of the day, you've got your fire buckets here as well.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53So, what are we looking at for the lot?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56How does, for all five objects...
0:24:56 > 0:24:58..Right...
0:24:58 > 0:25:00..190 strike you?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05A little bit more than I was expecting, actually. Yeah.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I was thinking more £90, but there you go.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- That's got to be worth just about 90, hasn't it?- Probably.
0:25:11 > 0:25:16How about 120? How does that sound?
0:25:16 > 0:25:17How about 160?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18140.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20150, split the difference?
0:25:20 > 0:25:27I'll get a drill. You put the sign up, and we'll go 145.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31Go on! Minor quibble for a fiver!
0:25:31 > 0:25:33You've got a deal.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36James earns that extra fiver in return for a spot of DIY
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and pockets a profit of £70.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The Lionheart has roared his way into an early lead,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47but the Hitman knows a man in Hampshire who sells garden antiques
0:25:47 > 0:25:51and Mr H has two absolute beauties in his boot.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54First out, his statue of a lady.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56# Man, I feel like a woman #
0:25:56 > 0:25:59It's slightly different.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00Hmmm.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06- Yeah.- You don't look too pleased. - I'm not that pleased.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09I'm not sure the quality of this is that great.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13I'm not sure this is actually going to be for us, to be honest.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Not for you?- No.- OK.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Ooh, what a disaster!
0:26:17 > 0:26:20A terrible blow to the Hitman on his first attempted sale.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Will he have any better luck
0:26:22 > 0:26:25with the wire planter he picked up for £80?
0:26:26 > 0:26:28This is something a bit different.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- That looks, actually, a bit nicer. - Do you like that?- Mmm!
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Nice little two-tier.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35That's quite pretty, actually.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I like the detail...
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Maybe Edwardian, but it's got a bit of age to it.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Yes, Victorian's a bit stretching it, somewhat.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47That's more in line with what I would be more interested in.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51- It's got the two tiers. Nice detail to it.- Yep.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Yeah.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55£160 for you, sir?
0:26:55 > 0:26:59160? I'll give you 150.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02You have a sale. Very good.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05So, if you don't succeed the first time, try and try again.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Yes, what a hero! The Hitman is in business.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11He just made a pretty profit of £70.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Reinvigorated, our brave boy fires up his engines.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Back home in Oxfordshire, he visits his friend, Keith,
0:27:18 > 0:27:22and sells his Art Deco perfume bottle for £80,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25making a profit of £45.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26And now, the gloves are off.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30There's no time on the bench for either of our heavy hitters.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33James finds a home for the Chinese cork picture in Staffordshire,
0:27:33 > 0:27:35selling it for £30,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38and making him £10 better off.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42The Lionheart then trades his other Chinese item, the lacquer tea box.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47It sells for £150, bringing in a solid £30 profit.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52Both our dealers have come out fighting,
0:27:52 > 0:27:54but who will go the distance?
0:27:54 > 0:27:58MUSIC: "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora
0:27:58 > 0:28:03The Lionheart is prowling deep in the wilds of Surrey.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08He's arranged to meet the man who runs the Born Free Foundation -
0:28:08 > 0:28:09Will Travers.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14As James is a patron of this charity, it's a cause close to his heart,
0:28:14 > 0:28:18and he knows that Will is a fan of all things to do with lions.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21But the bad news is that Will can be a tough negotiator
0:28:21 > 0:28:26and will put up a good fight for the very best price for the lioness figure,
0:28:26 > 0:28:30especially as he's thinking of buying it as a present for his mum, the actress Virginia McKenna.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32What do you think to her?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Well, I mean, it's very green.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37It is. It's a malachite glaze.
0:28:37 > 0:28:43Malachite glaze? Tell me a bit more about her. It's very large.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- I thought it was going to be small. - She was made in France.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51And these models, in one colour,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55were made from about 1930, through to the late '50s.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00You find just about any animal on the planet
0:29:00 > 0:29:02that the French decided to make.
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Some of them are very stylised and angular and are on marble bases,
0:29:06 > 0:29:08and some of them are more natural.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10She's quite realistic.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14All in proportion and in rather a classic lion pose.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19She is, yeah. I guess she's going to be 1935.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Some of the glazes are in white and are a little bit boring.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25You get the blues and oranges,
0:29:25 > 0:29:27but the malachite glaze is my favourite of them.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31It's a rather special year for us, because it's my mum's, well,
0:29:31 > 0:29:36it's her 80th birthday, and I'm thinking that this would make
0:29:36 > 0:29:40a lovely present for her from everyone at the office.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42What do you think? £90?
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Well, it's a tad more than I was thinking
0:29:44 > 0:29:47but we're not a million miles apart.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I think I was going 75?
0:29:51 > 0:29:53- That's not too bad. - I could be pushed.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Could you? To 80?
0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Done.- Deal.
0:29:58 > 0:29:59Fantastic!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Thank you, thank you.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06James finally seals the deal with Will with a hard-fought-for £55 profit.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11James is on eight items to Jonty's two,
0:30:11 > 0:30:15but the Hitman is digging deep, coming up with a dastardly plan
0:30:15 > 0:30:18for the grave markers he purchased for £80.
0:30:20 > 0:30:25MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson
0:30:28 > 0:30:31In all my years of trading in antiques,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35I've never quite seen markers like these. Have you?
0:30:35 > 0:30:39Well, as cast iron markers go, if they're grave markers, if that's what they are...
0:30:39 > 0:30:44This is what I was sold them as, and I was fascinated by them.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46Sounds plausible.
0:30:46 > 0:30:50Of markers that I am aware of in cast-iron,
0:30:50 > 0:30:55I've seen ones where you've got a circle with a cross running through it,
0:30:55 > 0:30:59because they don't look very churchy or religious in any way.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04The whole gravey business, the whole association with,
0:31:04 > 0:31:07that sort of thing can spook people.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10- Yes.- Which is understandable. They're really nicely made.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12I think they're great, aren't they?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16I would reckon that they're a good 100 years old. What do you think?
0:31:16 > 0:31:17The quality of them.
0:31:17 > 0:31:22Yeah, I mean, the casting and the way that they're double-sided,
0:31:22 > 0:31:25and the definition of the casting, and so on.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27The reason why I was attracted to them,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29I thought they would make interesting alternative
0:31:29 > 0:31:32numbers to a house, if you're looking for something
0:31:32 > 0:31:35a little bit different to place outside.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I'm looking for £30 a pop for them.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39How many have you got?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- I've got seven in all. - So, that's three sevens, 21.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Couple of hundred quid.- £210.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49But, because I'm a generous kind of bloke, we could round it down to 200?
0:31:49 > 0:31:52- Um, Yes...- Looks like you're going to hit me with that now!
0:31:52 > 0:31:55Well, this is where we turn them that way round!
0:31:55 > 0:31:57- Go for a duel.- Yes, exactly!
0:31:57 > 0:32:00I'm thinking 140 would be more appropriate,
0:32:00 > 0:32:02given the terrible damage here.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Can I meet you somewhere in the middle?- OK.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07180?
0:32:07 > 0:32:09- OK.- Yeah?
0:32:09 > 0:32:11It's a deal, let's go.
0:32:11 > 0:32:12Wonderful!
0:32:12 > 0:32:18And Jonty's numbered pegs notch up a deadly profit of £100.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22So, as we hit the midway point of today's selling,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25which of our warring warriors is gaining the advantage?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28The Hitman has notched up three mighty sales
0:32:28 > 0:32:30and bagged a peachy profit of £215.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37And even though the Lionheart has sold a whopping eight items,
0:32:37 > 0:32:40he's not much further ahead on profit.
0:32:40 > 0:32:41He's made £255.
0:32:43 > 0:32:47With only £40 in it, this epic battle couldn't be any closer,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50and still, anything could happen,
0:32:50 > 0:32:54but lucky Mr Lewis is getting excited about his next item.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57And it's got pound signs all over it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:00Of all of the things that I bought from the antiques fair, there is one
0:33:00 > 0:33:03that I think I significantly undervalued at the time,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05and it is this little chap.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07A little carved, hardwood Japanese figure.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10I thought the damage would put people off considerably
0:33:10 > 0:33:14and I might just make maybe £100 profit.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Since then, I've reviewed my expectations.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19The dealers and collectors have looked at it,
0:33:19 > 0:33:22and I've picked one man to try to sell it to.
0:33:22 > 0:33:26And fingers crossed, this little chap is going to do really well.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29When I bought it, I liked it.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Since then, it's just grown on me more and more.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35I think he's a fabulous little figure.
0:33:35 > 0:33:41It's got a few bits of damage, three toes missing, horn at the back.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45A little tiny bit over there.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48An emasculated dragon, by the look of it.
0:33:48 > 0:33:49An emasculated?
0:33:49 > 0:33:52He's got half a horn missing,
0:33:52 > 0:33:57and the horn is one of the symbols of the masculine's inner potence,
0:33:57 > 0:33:59the adultness of the Dragon.
0:33:59 > 0:34:06It's second half of the 19th century, 1860-1890.
0:34:06 > 0:34:10I have shown it to two or three very good collectors and dealers,
0:34:10 > 0:34:12all of whom think it's just fab.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15It is very intricately carved.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17There's no getting away from that.
0:34:17 > 0:34:21It's got very good detailing on the scales,
0:34:21 > 0:34:27it's got very good detailing on the individual hair strands.
0:34:27 > 0:34:32I suppose we ought to come on to the rather vulgar business of money.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Well, in this competition, money makes all the difference.
0:34:35 > 0:34:38Will James's figure make a pretty penny
0:34:38 > 0:34:40or will the damage deny him the dosh?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43We'll find out later in the show.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Now, Mr Hearnden is in London.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49He wants to offload his World Cup album and beer mat,
0:34:49 > 0:34:53and he knows a man who collects 1966 memorabilia.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57But some of his pieces are so pricey,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00he keeps them under lock and key at a high security bank.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Jonty's allowed in, but he's kept under close surveillance,
0:35:04 > 0:35:09and it's not long before Andrew unveils his prized possession.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11This isn't just any shirt, this is THE shirt.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14When I say THE shirt, do you know what I mean?
0:35:14 > 0:35:17It's not from the '66 World Cup final?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19This is from the '66 World Cup final,
0:35:19 > 0:35:21and have a guess whose shirt it is.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23It's not Geoff Hurst's?
0:35:23 > 0:35:24It is, Sir Geoff Hurst's.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Would you like to see the number?
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Yes. Let's have a look.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32This really is...
0:35:34 > 0:35:37- If you can help me with this, Jonty? - There we go.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41Got to be very, very gentle, but look, there is the famous number 10.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43They think it's all over. It is now.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46It isn't now, because I think it's about my size.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Jonty, don't even think about it!
0:35:49 > 0:35:52That is such a treat. Wow!
0:35:52 > 0:35:56- Well, it's a pleasure to see it again.- Put it down quickly.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00Because you have to be very, very delicate with that. Very delicate.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04Because I thought this might just be the icing on the cake for you.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06It's emotional blackmail, here, Jonty!
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Yours for £35.- Ey-ey-ey!
0:36:10 > 0:36:11Not millions of pounds, but 35.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14How much was this originally, do you know?
0:36:14 > 0:36:16I think there's a five shilling...
0:36:16 > 0:36:18OK, five shillings?
0:36:18 > 0:36:20No, £35?
0:36:22 > 0:36:23What about £30?
0:36:23 > 0:36:24£30 and it's yours.
0:36:24 > 0:36:27Fantastic. I'll take it. Thank you very much.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29It's been an absolute privilege to see all of this.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Ooh, back of the net with that one, Jonty,
0:36:32 > 0:36:37Andrew probably won't be keeping the World Cup album and beer mat in his bank vault,
0:36:37 > 0:36:40but they bring home a useful profit of £15.
0:36:40 > 0:36:45So, we're into the final, desperate exchanges of this epic battle.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50Our gladiators are racing to bring in those last, crucial profits.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Next up for James is the Tunbridge box,
0:36:52 > 0:36:54that needed a fair bit of work.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58He's used up most of his leftover budget to pay restorer, Paul,
0:36:58 > 0:37:00£40 to fix the damaged lid.
0:37:00 > 0:37:01But it's money well spent,
0:37:01 > 0:37:05as James goes on to sell the box to his contact, Anne, for £205,
0:37:05 > 0:37:11which, after restoration costs, makes a profit of £75.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15Anne's husband takes the tankards, totting up another £20 profit.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Fantastic! Thank you so much. Thank you, well done.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24Indomitable Jonty's finally found a home for his troublesome lady friend.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28After his early rejection, he's lugged it to his friend Alex's garden,
0:37:28 > 0:37:33and she snapped it up for £100, leaving the Hitman with £60 profit.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36The statue had him going round the houses,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40but Jonty's last item brings him much closer to home.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42Cheltenham, in fact, to a travel agency.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47He's hoping to sell the globe that cost him £140.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Miles, there you are. Look what I found you.- Good morning.
0:37:50 > 0:37:54I see you've been busy, because you've obviously been plucking maps
0:37:54 > 0:37:58or globes from somewhere, and ironing them onto your wall.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02- I have.- Well, I've got you a proper globe here, what do you think?
0:38:02 > 0:38:03I think it looks great.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07I think it looks, initial reaction, very antique, is what it looks.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08I love the feel of it.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12Well, for the price of the world, it's only 300 quid.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14- HE INTAKES BREATH SHARPLY - Hmmm!
0:38:14 > 0:38:17"Can we compromise?" is obviously the question.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Well, what sort of figure did you have in mind?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23I was thinking around 200.
0:38:23 > 0:38:27OK. That is, the globe is worth an awful lot more than that.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I have to say that the globe is worth absolutely every penny
0:38:29 > 0:38:31of the £300 I'm asking for,
0:38:31 > 0:38:35- but, shall we, can we meet somewhere in the middle? - Is there a deal to be done?
0:38:35 > 0:38:37How about something like 250?
0:38:40 > 0:38:41You have a deal.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43OK, thank you.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45# You spin me right round, baby... #
0:38:45 > 0:38:49An amazing way to wind things up.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53The Hitman dances into the sunset with a profit of £110.
0:38:53 > 0:38:58Now, all the pressure is on James, who's got to sell his last two items.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01At this stage, he simply can't afford a loss.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04He's come to see hotel owner, Tim,
0:39:04 > 0:39:09to see if he's interested in his corner cabinet and candlesticks.
0:39:09 > 0:39:15Victorian, 1850-1870, not solid silver, silver plate.
0:39:15 > 0:39:23The edges are cast and then applied and then plated afterwards.
0:39:23 > 0:39:29Um, so they are Sheffield-plated, rather than Sheffield plate.
0:39:29 > 0:39:33This is, 1775, 1775-1780.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36We're talking about a corner cabinet that was made
0:39:36 > 0:39:40when King George III was fighting for America.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42We're talking about something that was made,
0:39:42 > 0:39:46at the height of British power overseas,
0:39:46 > 0:39:48and it's something that, in my opinion,
0:39:48 > 0:39:51would've graced a lovely 18th century townhouse.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54It is very much subject to price.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58I guess you're looking at £120 or so, for that.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Actually, a little bit more...
0:40:01 > 0:40:05You've backed me into a corner completely!
0:40:05 > 0:40:06- Go on.- How about 180?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09No, I wouldn't go that far.
0:40:09 > 0:40:10No? Where would you go?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12Possibly halfway with you.
0:40:12 > 0:40:13- 150?- Yeah.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16OK. And how about this? 350?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I think it's 300. I'll do that for you.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24And 150 for those?
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Yeah, yeah, you've got a deal.
0:40:27 > 0:40:28Deal.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31So, two mighty sales making massive profits.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34The candlesticks and the cabinet combined
0:40:34 > 0:40:38leave the Lionheart £220 better off.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Our warring wheeler-dealers have bowled their last balls
0:40:41 > 0:40:46and must now retire to the pavilion with their heads held high.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50They each started off with £750 of their own money.
0:40:50 > 0:40:56The Hitman bought seven items and spent just £390.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59The Lionheart made a whopping 13 purchases
0:40:59 > 0:41:03and, including some restoration costs,
0:41:03 > 0:41:06he spent almost his entire budget of £740.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08But, sales are one thing.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10It's profit that really counts.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15All of the money that Jonty and James made from today's challenge
0:41:15 > 0:41:17will be going to a charity of their choice.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19So, without further ado, it's time to see
0:41:19 > 0:41:23who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Jonty.- Good to see you. How are you? How was it for you?
0:41:27 > 0:41:30I haven't seen you for a long time now.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31I bought so many things.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33You did! You really did.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36It just makes it that much harder to try and find...
0:41:36 > 0:41:39I thought, if I buy a whole load, then I can just think,
0:41:39 > 0:41:41I can sell that, I can sell that.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45But I kept thinking, "I've got to sell it all!" Too much. Never do it again.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48How about the globe? I loved that globe.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50The more I looked at that globe, the more I fell in love with it.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54It was a great object. I managed to sell it to a travel agent.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58- Ah! Perfect! - He had the perfect space for it, so I was really pleased with that.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02- Oh, well done, brilliant. - Ready to see how we've done? - Yeah, come on, then.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Three, two, one.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Ah! You whopped me!
0:42:08 > 0:42:10You whopped me!
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Come on, I'll buy you a pint. - Well done, you.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16A convincing win for James,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19and it was the Japanese figure that sealed victory.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23He forked out just £45, so, how much money did he make?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26I will start, 400.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Five.
0:42:28 > 0:42:35I was thinking about 10% onto that, 450. 440, sorry.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Go back to the 450, and you've got a deal.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- Shake on 450?- 450.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43- Done and done, young man. - Well bought.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47£450! That's 10 times what he paid,
0:42:47 > 0:42:51making him an incredible £405 profit.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55The antiques market has been a great journey.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00I really, really enjoyed seeing Geoff Hurst's shirt. What a treat!
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I often think that going to an antiques fair alone
0:43:03 > 0:43:06is a little bit like having a meal on your own.
0:43:06 > 0:43:07Not a great deal of fun.
0:43:07 > 0:43:09But with Jonty, he was a great sport,
0:43:09 > 0:43:12and also a really tough competitor.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15But there's no time for James to bank his winnings.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Another challenge is approaching fast.
