0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:07 > 0:00:11against each other in an all-out battle for profit...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm a double your money girl.
0:00:13 > 0:00:17..and gives you the insider's view of the trade.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19You've got to be in it to win it.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:21 > 0:00:23will face a different daily challenge...
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Lovely! We've got some work to do, let's go.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30..putting their own money and their hard earned reputations
0:00:30 > 0:00:32on the line as they see
0:00:32 > 0:00:35who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Get in there! EVIL LAUGHTER
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Today's all-out battle for profit pitches the worldly wise
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Grand Wizard Of Antiques Eric Knowles
0:00:45 > 0:00:49against the Dapper Duke Of Dealing John Cameron.
0:00:49 > 0:00:54Coming up - there's an ulterior motive to one John Cameron purchase.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56How could I not buy that for £2?
0:00:56 > 0:00:58If only just to scare Eric with it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Emotions run high as Eric's past catches up with him...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03I'm going to cry.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05I bet you wish you look like that now, don't you?
0:01:05 > 0:01:08..and The Hammer takes on his toughest sale yet.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11I might even get out of here in one piece.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14You've got one minute to get you and your hairdryer out of here.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18Ooh! Better get her fired up then. Let's hope she starts!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39A long time ago in a Hertfordshire town far, far away,
0:01:39 > 0:01:41it is a period of civil war in the Antiques Empire.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45Two behemoths of the dealing world are going head-to-head
0:01:45 > 0:01:49in what could be their bloodiest clash yet.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52In this epic bout, it's Eric 'Obi Wan Knocker' Knowles,
0:01:52 > 0:01:55the legendary lord of the antiques trade,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58duelling with Jedi John 'The Hammer' Cameron. The young pretender
0:01:58 > 0:02:02who'll be fighting furiously to take over his master's mantel.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08May the force be with them both as they fire up their sabres
0:02:08 > 0:02:13for a battle royale at the Sunday market and car boot sale in historic Hitchin.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Will master Eric unleash his money-making menace,
0:02:17 > 0:02:21or will the apprentice John strike back with the biggest bargains?
0:02:21 > 0:02:25They can each spent up to £250 of their own money
0:02:25 > 0:02:28and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Eric Knowles and John Cameron,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Aye up, The Hammer. - Morning, Eric.- Morning.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Good to see you've got your gloves on. It's freezing!
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Yes, I'm all thermal today, yes, and for good reason because it is.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47But a little bit of old England, yeah?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50Beautiful location you've brought me to, Eric, but where's the car boot?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52- Ah, look no further.- Ah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Not just any old car boot, but corrugated cover, no less.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Do think they've got any central heating in there?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Don't bank on it, mate. - Have you got your £250 for today?
0:03:01 > 0:03:05It's all here and once again, it's burning a hole in my pocket.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- Shall we go and do some spending? - Come on.- Come on.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12So, as the sun rises over Hitchin, it heralds the beginning
0:03:12 > 0:03:17of an almighty clash between these two noble knights of the knick-knack
0:03:17 > 0:03:21as they stride boldly out onto the fields of battle,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23their minds are racing with strategies.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Now I think Eric's a little bit worried
0:03:25 > 0:03:29because he's not anticipating finding any antiques around here.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, he'll be the only antique here probably today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So I'm going to get stuck in and my strategy today is the bold
0:03:35 > 0:03:37because he who dares, wins.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Mm, audacious stuff from the sharp dressed warrior.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42But his more experienced rival
0:03:42 > 0:03:44has seen it all before.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Well, I don't mind telling you
0:03:46 > 0:03:49that my strategy at car boots is very simple.
0:03:49 > 0:03:50I'm going to go out there
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and look for anything that might be just that little bit older...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55than me.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well get going then, Obi Wan K-nocker.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00This boot sale browsing battle has now begun,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02but who will be the first to strike?
0:04:02 > 0:04:05The bells are ringing out already.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07Look at this, my first purchase.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12I've got two Jeff Banks limited edition canvases, hand painted.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15On the back we can see it's got the label.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18This is number 327 of only 400.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19£2, what a bargain.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22And also got myself a little bear chucked in for 50 pence.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25I know two people with daughters called Erin,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27should have another sale in the bag.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30So it's The Hammer whose first to bang out a deal.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34He's in his element here with two buys in the bag already.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37His veteran opponent must be feeling the pressure.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41His campaign is all about capturing fine antiques,
0:04:41 > 0:04:42but can he track them down?
0:04:42 > 0:04:43Is it Ming?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Might be more mass made than Ming, Eric
0:04:46 > 0:04:48but your optimism is admirable.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50HE LAUGHS
0:04:51 > 0:04:52Dare I ask how much that one is?
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Well, I was looking for 15 quid on that.
0:04:55 > 0:04:5715 quid.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Well, we can...
0:05:00 > 0:05:03- I don't want to twist your arm.... - Twist my arm.- All right, OK.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06What can we do? I could do 12 quid on it.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09OK, £12, first buy of the day, it's all there,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11it's not knackered or anything like that.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15- There's no marks on it, it's lovely.- No, no, there will be by the time I'm finished with it.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Only joking, only joking.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19Well, I just bought myself a cloisonne bowl.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21It's Chinese.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24It's not of any great age.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27It could be in the last 50 years.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30In a push it might be 1930s but I doubt it.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33But the things is about cloissone it's just such fabulous quality.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Hopefully I'll see a profit.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39So the first quality item's in the back for Knocker at a knock-down price.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41But with The Hammer still one buy ahead,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44he's got a fight on his hands.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48And Jedi JC remains dogged in his attack.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53# You ain't nothing but a hound dog... #
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Well, that's quite nice, how much are they?- £1 each.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58£1 each.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01I can't, I can't haggle at a £1 each, can I? I should do!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I know, but you look like nice people.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- We are very nice people. - You'll throw them at me if I try to haggle.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- We've got six dogs we need to feed, that's why we're here.- Right!
0:06:11 > 0:06:13So £1 each for those.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18The Hammer collars the ornamental retrievers putting him further ahead of his rival.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20And with the bit firmly between his teeth,
0:06:20 > 0:06:22he's revving up for another buy.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24I did spot a book here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27How much?
0:06:27 > 0:06:31We've got four on it... It's your prerogative now.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34Well, I tell you what, if we said a fiver for them both,
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- that's three quid for that and two for that.- Go on, then. - Yeah?
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Look at this! I know I'm not spending much money
0:06:40 > 0:06:43but it's not in the spending it's in the profit.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Profit is indeed king, John.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48The Hammer may not have spent big
0:06:48 > 0:06:51but with four buys to Knocker's one, he's definitely setting the pace.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53But our Eric isn't going to let The Hammer ride off
0:06:53 > 0:06:55into the antique sunset just yet.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01I'm looking at two sort of... I don't know what you call them.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03They're character mugs, I suppose.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It's Mr Micawber. It's what you might call a before and after.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08That's at he beginning of his holiday,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11and that's at the end of his holiday.
0:07:11 > 0:07:12And how much are they, can I ask?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14They're £10 each.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- £10 each.- Yes.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18Mr Micawber is one of those Dickensian characters
0:07:18 > 0:07:22that stayed with me ever since I discovered him as a small boy.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27I think he look the happiest, doesn't he? So is it £10?
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- It is, yes.- OK.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32See that, look, no haggling! £10 straight in.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35No haggling, Eric, are you sure that's wise?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Knocker is steadily catching up on The Hammer,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41but can he do anything extra to sink his rival's spirits?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Ah, Eric.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Well, there's something that'll go down a treat.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Did you lecture on one of the...
0:07:48 > 0:07:51You cheeky, on the Titanic?!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53So you made any purchases yet?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- I might've done. - Haven't hit any icebergs yet?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57No, no, no, no.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00No, but there is a lettuce over there, you might go with that one.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- OK, an iceberg lett... Oh, forget it.- All right...
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Oh, I don't know. His jokes don't get any better, do they?
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Not really, no.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11The unsinkable Hammer refuses to be put off his stroke as
0:08:11 > 0:08:12he splashes out on a another buy.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I've just purchased this cast iron doorstep for £10.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19It's rusty but actually there's not a lot of age to this.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22However, it is Titanic.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25It will be popular, and people still need doorstops.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27And on the same stall as my doorstop
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I bought this 1960s lithograph folding tray.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32£5 that, £10 that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34There's no big money to be spent here today,
0:08:34 > 0:08:36but there's lots of profit to be made.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Eric, you're going to go down like the Titanic.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44Oh, The Hammer showing nerves of steel as he taunts his senior adversary.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46And with the tray he took away for a fiver,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50that takes his tally to an impressive six purchases.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Jedi John is definitely in the driving seat,
0:08:54 > 0:08:58giving our slick back supremo enough time for a trip down memory lane.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Now, this takes me back.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03My very first job was on the family's fruit and veg stall
0:09:03 > 0:09:05down in Charlotte Street in Portsmouth.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Let's see if I've still got it.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Any bowl you like now. Pound a bowl. Plums there, look.
0:09:10 > 0:09:11Pound for pears.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Come on, don't be shy.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15BELL TOLLS Any where you like. Pound a bowl.
0:09:15 > 0:09:19Come on, sir, you look like you need warming up.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Come on. We've got plums here, pomegranates...
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I suppose I'd better get back to work. Enough of this nostalgia.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29JOKE FLOP MUSIC
0:09:29 > 0:09:32You've definitely still got it, John.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Let's hope when it comes to selling today's booty,
0:09:35 > 0:09:37things go a bit better.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39And demonstrating how it should be done,
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Knocker dashes in with a daring double deal.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45I'm forever coming across West German pottery.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47I'm just an easy touch for it.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49I've actually gone and bought meself a splendid vase.
0:09:49 > 0:09:54I just love the random construction of a vase like that.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Date-wise, probably about 1962
0:09:56 > 0:10:00and for a tenner I'm very happy.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04But I'm even happier with me lights,
0:10:04 > 0:10:07because it's very unusual to come across them.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11They go under the term of fat lava. It's a terrible title,
0:10:11 > 0:10:14but it's all to do with the sort of glazes that have been used.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Same sort of period
0:10:16 > 0:10:18and to find a pair of hanging lights,
0:10:18 > 0:10:20it's that little bit more unusual.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Price - £20 and I think £20 well spent.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25So the sage of ceramics is back
0:10:25 > 0:10:28in his comfort zone with a victorious vase purchase.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31He's hot on The Hammer's trail
0:10:31 > 0:10:35but Jedi JC is determined to exterminate his rival's chances.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- How much is the Cyberman? - Two pounds.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Two pounds. Two pound!
0:10:41 > 0:10:43How could I not buy that for two pounds,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45if only just to scare Eric with it?
0:10:45 > 0:10:47Scare Knocker?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Not sure about that, John.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53DOCTOR WHO THEME
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Our Eric's the original Time Lord of the trade.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That's got to give me a profit. Someone might buy it just to
0:11:02 > 0:11:06put on display in their very own Tardis.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08So with the Cyberman seconded, let's see
0:11:08 > 0:11:10how things are playing out
0:11:10 > 0:11:14between the south coast's Skywalker and the Ben Kenobi of Burnley.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17Both of our out-of-this-world antiques warriors
0:11:17 > 0:11:20each had up to £250 of their own money to spend.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Eric Knocker Knowles has gone for the stealthy approach,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27targeting and taking down four purchases and spending £52,
0:11:27 > 0:11:31leaving him £198 to play with.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35John The Hammer Cameron is taking on all comers,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38his swift saber work notching up seven buys so far,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41but with a spend of only £24.50,
0:11:41 > 0:11:46he's still got £225.50 left in his kitty.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48So the battle lines are drawn
0:11:48 > 0:11:51for round two of our car boot wars.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Our two knights of the antiques alliance
0:11:53 > 0:11:55are going head-to-head once again,
0:11:55 > 0:11:59lightsabers drawn, as they face the storm trooping stallholders
0:11:59 > 0:12:03and the Force is definitely with The Hammer,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06as he closes in for another deal.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Tell me about this. Is it some sort of game?
0:12:09 > 0:12:12It's a drinking game and you can choose whatever spirit you want.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Yeah. Got to check to make sure it's all there. It's all there.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- We've got the original box. - I'm sorry.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21I don't supply the whiskey or the brandy.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I think we can live with that. How much is the game?- Two pounds.
0:12:24 > 0:12:29Two pounds. Well, that's worth two pounds of anyone's money.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Thank you.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35So, with The Hammer coasting along with eight buys now racked up,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Knocker has got a lot of chasing to do.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40This is quite a tough call because
0:12:40 > 0:12:43you've got to struggle to find
0:12:43 > 0:12:48the stands that have got anything you think might have a resale value.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50Without being too unkind,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53it must be incredibly difficult for The Hammer,
0:12:53 > 0:12:57because I think he's slightly out of his comfort zone.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Unless he can find anything that goes on a boat or a ship,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04he's a fish out of water.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yes, Knocker's talking the talk, trying to keep
0:13:07 > 0:13:09his southern opponent in his place, but will his tactics
0:13:09 > 0:13:11have any effect?
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Judging by John's performance so far,
0:13:14 > 0:13:15the answer is no.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18This has got a few chips round the stopper there, love.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21- What's the best price you'll do on that?- Three?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Three quid? Deal.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Three pounds. There we are. - Thank you very much.- Very welcome.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29Another purchase there, look.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32We've got ourselves six shot glasses and a decanter,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35with a little lithograph picture on them all of a sailing ship.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Not antique, but at three quid
0:13:37 > 0:13:40definitely a profit.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42So, The Hammer notches up yet another buy
0:13:42 > 0:13:46and Knocker is forced to eat his words.
0:13:46 > 0:13:47That's got to hurt!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50So, where does our knight of the north go from here?
0:13:50 > 0:13:54What's going through my mind is that I've been around this place now
0:13:54 > 0:13:56about three or four times
0:13:56 > 0:13:59and I'm hoping that I'm going to see
0:13:59 > 0:14:02that one object that somehow I missed
0:14:02 > 0:14:04on all the previous occasions.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07And I'm walking past this stall behind me very quick,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10because I'm watching me figure at the moment
0:14:10 > 0:14:12and that's temptation behind me.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Yes, valiantly resisting a comfort-eating binge,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Knocker instead makes a move on some enamel napkin rings.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22So I'm looking at cloisonne,
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Chinese, they're not ancient,
0:14:24 > 0:14:26but I'm quite intrigued with cloisonne,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30because there's an awful lot of work goes into making one of these.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34They make so many of them, the price is very, very cheap,
0:14:34 > 0:14:36but I think they're rather chic.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- I've got six of them. How much are these, ladies?- £10 for them.- £10.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- You sure? They're £10 for the six. I'll have' em. Is that OK?- Yeah.
0:14:43 > 0:14:44- That's brilliant.- OK.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47So, I've just gone and purchased
0:14:47 > 0:14:50six little Chinese napkin rings.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Again, it's cloisonne,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54that lovely coloured enamel,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56it's actually a glass paste that's laid in between
0:14:56 > 0:14:59different copper wires
0:14:59 > 0:15:01to make up this very elaborate pattern.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Could you imagine how long it would take to make one of these alone,
0:15:04 > 0:15:08because they're all hand done. You can't do them with a machine.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11So a rattling riposte from Knocker.
0:15:11 > 0:15:13But he's still trailing on the buying front
0:15:13 > 0:15:16and The Hammer isn't letting up.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18He buys two Harley-Davidson
0:15:18 > 0:15:21drinks coasters for just a pound
0:15:21 > 0:15:24and he's spotted what could be the bargain of the day.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28I spotted something over here that I'm sure will give me
0:15:28 > 0:15:30a definite profit.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33There's a great picture on the front, real handsome guy that I think
0:15:33 > 0:15:36nobody could be able to resist having this book.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39And look who I saw right there!
0:15:39 > 0:15:40Isn't he handsome?
0:15:40 > 0:15:42And why doesn't he have the bowtie any more?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46The book's got two pounds on it. Is that the best price?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50- You can have it for a pound. - I can have it for a pound. Don't even haggle?- No.- There we are.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53There's a pound for the book. Look at that.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Now, if I don't get a profit on that, I'm going to give up this job
0:15:56 > 0:15:58and go back to carpentry!
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yes, but to be fair,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03our Knocker hasn't aged a day!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05(SUGGESTIVELY) Hello!
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Now, how will Eric react when his revved-up rival confronts him
0:16:08 > 0:16:10with purchase number 11?
0:16:10 > 0:16:13- Ay up!- Eric!- Come on!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16What's going on in there?
0:16:16 > 0:16:19I'm just trying to keep something up here in my coat.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I do apologise in advance. - Hang on, hang on, hang on!
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It's not a ferret, is it? Come on, what is it?
0:16:25 > 0:16:28It's not a ferret and I know I'm not the first to have done this to you,
0:16:28 > 0:16:29but I couldn't resist it.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32- I was browsing...- Oh, look at that!
0:16:32 > 0:16:35..look what I found. And I just couldn't resist.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Oh, I'm going to cry! Look at the price.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41He actually knocked a pound off!
0:16:41 > 0:16:42- I paid a pound for it.- Oh no!
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I don't suppose I could get you to do this for me, please?
0:16:45 > 0:16:47- No, no, that's fine.- "Best wishes."
0:16:47 > 0:16:50OK, because
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I have to say,
0:16:52 > 0:16:55although it may have cost you a pound,
0:16:55 > 0:16:57the signature itself,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59I always charge a fiver for!
0:16:59 > 0:17:02So all in your good time.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04Pop it in the post to me.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07- You want a fiver for it?- Give me a fiver, just for the signature.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10You've got to earn a crust somehow, haven't you?
0:17:10 > 0:17:12A fiver! You'll be lucky, Eric.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15Both our warriors are now back in the fray
0:17:15 > 0:17:19and although time is marching on, this fight is far from over.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21I came by earlier, looked at those,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24this gentleman said he thought they were £10, but he better ask the boss.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27This is the boss. I just got them for £10.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Actually, they were priced at 20. I might have got him in trouble.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32What do they call that, when that happens?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- Divorce!- Divorce.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35THEY LAUGH
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Send me the solicitor's bill, all right?
0:17:37 > 0:17:40He's forked out just £10.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43That's a killer of a cutlery buy from The Hammer.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48My last purchase of the day, a 1960's small cutlery set.
0:17:48 > 0:17:51It's all complete, excellent condition
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and a nice striking black and white design on the box.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58I'm going to see one of the vintage dealers in Portsmouth
0:17:58 > 0:18:01and hopefully turn myself a little profit out of that.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Once again The Hammer extends his lead,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08but this time, Knocker's hot on his heels with a retro find of his own.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Little table's nice.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- How much is it and then I know. - 25.- 25.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16That's sweet, isn't it?
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Yeah. OK, that's the best, is it?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22- You don't mind me saying? - Well, make me an offer.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Well, if it was £20
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- I'd pull out a £20 note now.- OK.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31- 20. I'll do 20.- You'll do 20?
0:18:31 > 0:18:33OK, all right.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Can we just try this? - You've got proper gloves on.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- ERIC GRUNTS - OK, lovely.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42That's about as much arm wrestling as I do.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46So it's success for Knocker who's gone over to the dark side
0:18:46 > 0:18:48with the vintage coffee table.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I nearly didn't pick it up.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52It's a stylish little coffee table.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And the legs are a bit of a giveaway. Look at those legs.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58The legs point towards this dating from probably
0:18:58 > 0:19:02round about 1955, 1965,
0:19:02 > 0:19:05certainly from within that decade.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08It's not my biggest spend of the day,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10but it is one of the most pleasing spends.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12So Eric's pleased,
0:19:12 > 0:19:15but he won't be happy that he's still trailing behind The Hammer.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18With time running out, he's snatched up something he hopes will
0:19:18 > 0:19:21lay foundations of a mighty profit.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Well, I've just bought something
0:19:23 > 0:19:25that I'm half embarrassed to tell you,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I've not got much of a clue about,
0:19:27 > 0:19:31but I just bought this for £40 from a lady.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33I'm told it's Turkish.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Why on earth would I buy something that I'm clueless about?
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Well, to be frank with you, it is hand knotted
0:19:40 > 0:19:42and when I look at something like this,
0:19:42 > 0:19:47I think, "Would I want to spend hours and hours and days
0:19:47 > 0:19:52"or whatever, making, creating something like this, for £40?"
0:19:52 > 0:19:53I don't think so.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58With that sure thing purchase in the bag for Knocker,
0:19:58 > 0:20:01and with the sellers starting to pack away, let's see how
0:20:01 > 0:20:04our daring dealers have fared in today's car-boot combat.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10Our jaunty Jedis each started the day with £250 of their own money.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Eric 'Knocker' Knowles had a slow start but then rallied
0:20:13 > 0:20:17and went all-out wielding his sabre to capture seven quality items
0:20:17 > 0:20:20for a total spend of £122.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24John The Hammer Cameron got stuck in from the get go,
0:20:24 > 0:20:27going in for kill after kill with a colossal 12 buys in all,
0:20:27 > 0:20:32but only spending a total of just £41.50.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35One may have spent nearly three times as much as the other
0:20:35 > 0:20:38but it's whoever makes the most profit that really counts.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41With both dark master and khaki-clad pupil
0:20:41 > 0:20:46downing their weapons of war, it's time for a bit of show and tell.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47Oh my!
0:20:48 > 0:20:52He doesn't get out much, does he?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55You know what, you're looking like a bit of a Time Lord there as well, Eric, with the scarf.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- What do you think of my Cyberman helmet?- What!
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I didn't see that today.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04I don't know about you, Eric, but I found it quite tough going today.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07There weren't many things here that I could class as antique.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10In fact, I think one of the oldest things I bought was your book!
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Well, listen, it goes back and there's a lot to learn from it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16It was a tough call today, there's no two ways about it.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18I'm reasonably happy with what I bought.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Look, there's profit in this here junk
0:21:20 > 0:21:23so we'll see at the end of the day, all right?
0:21:23 > 0:21:26- All right, all right.- All right. - All right.- All right, Knocker.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28I'll see you later.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36And so, episode one of car-boot wars comes to an end
0:21:36 > 0:21:39but episode two marks a whole new beginning.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43The array of spoils hijacked at Hitchin must now all be sold
0:21:43 > 0:21:47for the highest prices possible. Whoever makes the most money wins
0:21:47 > 0:21:51and all the profit will be going to our experts' chosen charities.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Our noble knights return home to prepare for the fight ahead.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Knocker to beautiful Buckinghamshire and The Hammer to picturesque Portsmouth.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Knocker wastes no time in assessing his weapons of war.
0:22:03 > 0:22:07Let me reintroduce you to all my buys,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10starting with this pair of ceramic lamps.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Very much retro. The cloisonne is lovely.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I'm going to be looking for somebody
0:22:17 > 0:22:19who recognises quality when they see it.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22The same applies to the cloisonne napkin rings.
0:22:22 > 0:22:26The other West German vase, again about 1960,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29and it sits on a table of the same vintage
0:22:29 > 0:22:34with those wonderful sort of pylon-type steel legs.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38A Dickensian character, Mr Micawber.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I'm going to be looking for somebody
0:22:40 > 0:22:43who understands early rugs and carpets
0:22:43 > 0:22:46and hopefully I'm going to find a nice profit
0:22:46 > 0:22:50on each and every item you see before your very eyes.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54The Hammer is casting an eye over his colossal cache.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Back in the warm now, I'm glad to say, from the car-boot sale.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Bit of an interesting day.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04Didn't buy anything really old except Eric's book, that is.
0:23:04 > 0:23:09I have my 1950s retro folding tray and the '60s cutlery set.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14Love that drinking chessboard set and my little 1950s liqueur set.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16I bought those two golden retrievers
0:23:16 > 0:23:19and particularly liked my Cyberman helmet,
0:23:19 > 0:23:24and at £2, I've got to make a profit and help exterminate the Knocker.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27The Hammer has also got to shift his beanie bear,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30the Jeff Banks prints, the Titanic doorstop
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and the Harley Davidson book and coasters.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37So once again, our Jedi Knights prime themselves for battle.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41They'll be boldly roaming the galaxy in search of buyers for their items
0:23:41 > 0:23:45but no deal will be truly sealed until they've shaken on it
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and the money's changed hands.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Eric begins with some intensive research
0:23:49 > 0:23:52deep in the vaults of Knocker HQ.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56The poor fellow is up to his eyes in reference books.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58But what an opposite picture down south.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01The Prince Of Portsmouth has limited his research to just one book -
0:24:01 > 0:24:03the one that counts.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Holed up with his rubber ducky, he couldn't be more relaxed.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Once he's dried off, the Hammer heads for Southsea
0:24:12 > 0:24:16determined to offload his tray to vintage shop owner Lucy.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21- This is the item I brought you. - OK.- Have a look at it.- It's cool.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25- I can actually see this in my little '50s car, actually. - I knew you'd like it.
0:24:25 > 0:24:26I hoped you'd like it but didn't know
0:24:26 > 0:24:29whether you'd want it for the shop or for something that
0:24:29 > 0:24:31would go on vintage revivals in the car.
0:24:31 > 0:24:35I'm sure it will probably end up in my house somewhere.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- How much do you like it? - About 50p much?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41No, I don't know, depends.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45- Don't be mean. What do you see, come on?- Tenner?- Tenner!
0:24:45 > 0:24:49- I spent hours polishing that! - Did you?
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I was hoping for a bit more, 30 quid's worth.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- A little bit less would be better. 20 and we're done.- £20?
0:24:57 > 0:25:00All right, all right, £20. £20, all right.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02A bit of a tussle there for John
0:25:02 > 0:25:06but he still managed to bag a profit of £15.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09And there's another vintage item that he's loath to part with -
0:25:09 > 0:25:13his signed Eric Knowles Antiques Guide
0:25:13 > 0:25:17but after reading it from cover to cover in the hot tub
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and mugging up on all his rival's top tips,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22John parts with the trusty tome for £20.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24A corking profit of £19.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30So unwittingly, Knocker earns his opponent a nice little profit.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Such a cruel irony can trigger a crisis of confidence in a chap
0:25:34 > 0:25:37and even make him want to turn the clock back.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41MUSIC: "Those Were The Days" by Mary Hopkin
0:25:43 > 0:25:44Maybe not.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48A smiling Eric is on his way to specialist dealer Stuart in Preston,
0:25:48 > 0:25:50who he's hoping will be interested
0:25:50 > 0:25:53in his German light fittings and vase.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I'd be intrigued to know from you just who made that
0:25:56 > 0:25:57because I've not been able to find out.
0:25:57 > 0:26:02The form and the glaze is very reminiscent of Schmider.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03Georg Schmider from Zell.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07He looks better than he does in the photograph.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I thought it was a very pretty thing, that's why I bought it.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13First things first, I've got to point out that I bought these...
0:26:13 > 0:26:16- Oh, dear.- I was tempted to get the old black marker out.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19I show everything as it is.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- What sort of date are you going to put on these?- '70-74.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27The company who made these are most likely to be Kira Keramik.
0:26:27 > 0:26:32What do you think is the sort of dealer price on something like that?
0:26:32 > 0:26:34The second one, with that chip,
0:26:34 > 0:26:37you'll really find it very difficult to sell.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I would like if possible somewhere around £30 for the two.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Come at me and tell me what you'd be prepared to pay.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47I would say that that is pretty high.
0:26:47 > 0:26:52If I came down to £25, is that getting more palatable?
0:26:52 > 0:26:57- I think 20 is about as far as I can go.- Really?- It is, yes.- OK.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59So because of damage to one of the lights,
0:26:59 > 0:27:01Knocker has to live with breaking even.
0:27:01 > 0:27:03What about this little fellow?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- I thought it was a bit of a treasure, that.- It is nice.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- I'd expect around about 15 for that. - I won't get the violins out.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12I would like if I can, £18 for that pot.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15It is a nice piece. We've got a deal.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Can we do a deal on that? - Yes, we can.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- All right, excellent.- Eric talks the pot up to win a profit of £8.
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Nice work, Knocker.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Still in Southsea, The Hammer is after a buyer
0:27:25 > 0:27:27for his '60s boxed cutlery.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29He's tracked down Chris,
0:27:29 > 0:27:33whose retro-style flat could be the ideal home for it.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37I've been sort of holding out for the right cutlery set
0:27:37 > 0:27:41and I've got a feeling that this is probably the closest I'm going to get
0:27:41 > 0:27:47- to a '60s set, to be honest. - I was looking for about £40.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Is that the best you can do?
0:27:50 > 0:27:55- In my head, I was looking at more sort of 30.- £30?
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Any better than that?
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- 31?- 31!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- It's slightly better. - I would stretch to 35.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05£35.
0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Chris, you've got yourself a deal. - OK.- And a cutlery set.
0:28:09 > 0:28:14So the knives are out and give The Hammer a profit of £25.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16Knocker, the noble knight, is undaunted
0:28:16 > 0:28:20and takes his cloisonne bowl to dealer Andrew. Go on, Eric!
0:28:20 > 0:28:25I was mesmerised by it because I just loved the design.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28Anyway, you deal with cloisonne and suchlike,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32so you tell me what you think.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35- I do like that.- You do. You're not alone.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38What sort of price were you looking for that, Eric?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40Well, I was looking around the sort of £45 mark for it.
0:28:40 > 0:28:46- I just noticed that. That's strange.- That is weird.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Forgive me, I've been living with this for a few days
0:28:49 > 0:28:53and I've looked at it and I've had my fingers around it.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56That might colour your thinking but does that bother you?
0:28:56 > 0:29:01- I think it does at 45. - What price would it not bother you?
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- That's the question. - I think nearer the 30 mark.- 30.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08OK, can I sting you for another £2
0:29:08 > 0:29:12because that would make everything nice and even for me.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15As this is nice and even, I think I could stretch to that.
0:29:15 > 0:29:20OK. You're a star. OK, and thank you very much.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24Goodbye, darling, I've loved being with you.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27It's the only bird I've ever come across
0:29:27 > 0:29:29that's never really broken my heart.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Aw - a rare insight into Knocker's inner pain.
0:29:31 > 0:29:37But the Burnley boy still stings like a bee to get a profit of £20.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41It's Jedi John's turn to strap on his shiny armour for battle.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44So, suited and booted, he sets out
0:29:44 > 0:29:47to convince Karen that the Jeff Banks prints he bought for only £2
0:29:47 > 0:29:50would be the perfect additions to her restaurant.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- Make it 100 and you've got yourself a deal.- No. 85?
0:29:54 > 0:30:00- 90, come on.- 87.- 87!
0:30:00 > 0:30:04You know what, I'm going to take 87. £87. I don't mind odd numbers.
0:30:04 > 0:30:10So John makes a very impressive profit of £85 and that's got him
0:30:10 > 0:30:12in the mood for an intergalactic assault.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14He's on the trail of collector Richard.
0:30:14 > 0:30:17Could a man who is already the proud owner of a Dalek
0:30:17 > 0:30:21be persuaded to buy a Cyberman mask?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25- The grandchildren must love this. - They love it to bits. It's just beautiful.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27They bring their friends to come and see it.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- They photograph themselves with it. - It's amazing.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32It's my first, I have to say.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37Listen, you can't have a Dalek without a Cyberman, can you?
0:30:37 > 0:30:42- Goodness!- The grandkids are going to love that. Don't you think?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45Yes, very different. I've not seen one of those.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47I do feel at a bit of a disadvantage that you've got
0:30:47 > 0:30:52a Dalek here to help you with negotiations, Richard.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56I hope you don't mind if I get into character. Is that all right?
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Let's have a look.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02ROBOTIC VOICE: I would like £30 for this helmet, Richard.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04How does that sound?
0:31:04 > 0:31:09- What do we think? - Don't listen to him.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Way above what I'd like to pay for that.
0:31:12 > 0:31:17I would think more about £10-15, on those lines, really.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- £10 is not enough.- 15. 15, I would say.
0:31:21 > 0:31:2315 is not quite enough.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- I was thinking at least £25. - I tell you what.
0:31:27 > 0:31:31- Don't point that thing at me. - I think we could split.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34£20, I'd be happy taking a gamble with that.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39£20 then. You have a deal.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43An £18 profit from a surreal sale.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Knocker better watch his back because it looks like
0:31:46 > 0:31:49the Hammer's recruited some serious help in taking him down.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51What was that you said?
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Eric Knowles, we will exterminate you.
0:31:55 > 0:31:56Scary!
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Both our lords of the lightsaber
0:31:58 > 0:32:00have been duelling deftly right from the off.
0:32:00 > 0:32:05So far, Eric has sold three of his items and has bagged a profit of £28
0:32:05 > 0:32:09while John has made five sales at this midway stage
0:32:09 > 0:32:13and he's way ahead in cash terms with a profit of £162.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15The Hammer might be ahead on sales
0:32:15 > 0:32:18but he's still got six items to offload.
0:32:18 > 0:32:23Knocker only has four more buyers to seek out for his wares
0:32:23 > 0:32:27so steeling himself for the critical combat ahead, our jousting Jedi
0:32:27 > 0:32:30is walking his dogs down to his local radio station
0:32:30 > 0:32:32to try and collar a sale.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36I'm here to meet local DJ Rick Jackson with my two little resin dogs
0:32:36 > 0:32:38that I bought at the car boot.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41Why have I brought them here? Rick is a well-known dog lover
0:32:41 > 0:32:43and has a fondness for golden retrievers.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46MUSIC: "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen
0:32:48 > 0:32:49There's no age to them.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53They aren't made of the finest injection-moulded resin.
0:32:53 > 0:32:59- RICK LAUGHS But they are charming nonetheless, aren't they?- That one is.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03This one is a bit sad. It looks like it needs a little bit of extra love.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- You like this one but not so much that one?- No.
0:33:07 > 0:33:12How much would you be willing to pay for this charming Harvey look-alike?
0:33:12 > 0:33:13Let me have a closer look.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16It does look like Harvey, it's got his colour and everything else.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I know a place where it could go as well.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23- So, a fiver?- A fiver! You are... Do you know what?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25It's a generous day, it's almost my birthday.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28I didn't believe all the things people said about you, Rick.
0:33:28 > 0:33:32- Now I'm starting to! I was thinking 20 quid.- Were you?- Yeah, I was.
0:33:32 > 0:33:35- Radio presenters don't get that much.- Come on!- Tenner.
0:33:35 > 0:33:41Call it 15 quid, right, for Harvey and I'll chuck in that one.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Make it 15 quid, don't chuck in that one.
0:33:45 > 0:33:4815 quid. That's great, OK.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51Since I have agreed to your request of taking this one away,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53can I make a request?
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Go on then?- Can you do MC Hammer - Can't Touch This?- I can.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59MUSIC: "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer
0:33:59 > 0:34:02The sad-faced dog might have been cruelly rejected
0:34:02 > 0:34:07but the happy Hammer gets to take him home along with a profit of £13.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11The irrepressible Eric is beaming in blue and he won't be denied.
0:34:11 > 0:34:14He's headed to Hartford with his coffee table
0:34:14 > 0:34:18and he's hoping that it will win over retro furniture dealer, Hannah.
0:34:18 > 0:34:22I'm not sure whether it's you or not. I don't want to say too much.
0:34:22 > 0:34:25- Do you want to...? - Yeah, let's have a look.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29I thought when I bought that, it had enough style.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33It's quirky, it's quite sweet. It's very small.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Sonny, what do you think?- Is this your business partner?- He is, yes.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38He makes most of the decisions.
0:34:38 > 0:34:43- I guess the question is how much? - I was... We're talking small money.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45We're talking £30.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47It's the sort of thing if I did buy,
0:34:47 > 0:34:50I would probably be paying a little bit less for.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52OK, How much less?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55I reckon I'd probably pick him up for about 20 quid.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Do you think we might find a halfway house?
0:34:57 > 0:35:02I tell you what, I think Sonny could use it to hold his dog food bowl.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- How decadent, how decadent is that! - I think he's given it the nod.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Haven't you, Sonny.- Has he?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- I think we have a deal. - Listen, put it there, kid.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14It's a paltry profit of £5 on the tiny table
0:35:14 > 0:35:18but look on the bright side, Eric. It all counts.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21As much as it grieves me to admit it,
0:35:21 > 0:35:24I think I've made something of a dog's dinner about that last deal.
0:35:27 > 0:35:28Now, what's this?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Our south coast stormtrooper is on the move
0:35:31 > 0:35:32but where on earth is he off to?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I'm here with my Harley Davidson book and coasters
0:35:35 > 0:35:39to meet a friend, Keith, who is a member of a local riding club.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Now, as anyone knows,
0:35:40 > 0:35:43the Mods and Rockers never really got along that well.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47With me in full dress on my scooter and he with his riding mates,
0:35:47 > 0:35:49I'm expecting a bit of a rough ride myself
0:35:49 > 0:35:52and I think he'll have brought a few numbers as well.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02How's it going? All right? Thank you for turning up.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06I didn't know you were going to bring a few boys with you, Keith.
0:36:06 > 0:36:10- Here is the book. Do you like it? - That's very good.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- It's not one you've got? - It's not one I've got, no.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14I think I might be interested.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17OK, look, I'm going to throw in these two coasters as well, look at that.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Do you want to make me an offer for the book, Keith?
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Depends what you're asking for it.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Listen, I know you're a good man so you make me an offer.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28- What about 20?- £20 is not a bad bid, Keith. Not a bad bid.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Could you make 25?
0:36:31 > 0:36:3215!
0:36:32 > 0:36:35He's supposed to be coming up the other way!
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Would £25 be any better?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- I was thinking more 20.- £20. - Driving a hard bargain.
0:36:42 > 0:36:47- What you want to do, £20?- £20. - £20, you've got a deal.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50And I might even get out of here in one piece.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53You've got one minute to get you and your hairdryer out of here.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Better get her fired up then. Let's hope she starts!
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Yes, a hasty exit for The Hammer before the bikers get to hairy,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11but he's made a profit of £16 on that double deal
0:37:11 > 0:37:13which is a real result.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15After more copious research,
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Eric has driven down to Henley to dispense with his Turkish rug.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23I know when we were talking before we agreed £45,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26so if now you're seeing it as is, you still happy with that?
0:37:26 > 0:37:32- I'm happy, of course I am. - OK, put it there. Excellente!
0:37:32 > 0:37:34And his successful sale to dealer Abbah gives him
0:37:34 > 0:37:37a delightful profit of £5
0:37:37 > 0:37:39so it's smiles for Knocker
0:37:39 > 0:37:43but not for the Hammer, who's been thwarted in his first attempt
0:37:43 > 0:37:45to sell the Titanic doorstop.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Is he discouraged? No. He lifts anchor once more
0:37:48 > 0:37:51and heads to the house of boat owner, Albert,
0:37:51 > 0:37:53hoping that he might go for the doorstop
0:37:53 > 0:37:55and his maritime-themed drinks set.
0:37:55 > 0:38:01- What about 75 quid for the two? - I'll give you 70 quit.- £70?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- Both lots.- Yeah, both lots. - £70, got yourself a deal.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Cash, I've got to give you? - Cash you've got to give me, yeah.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11It's a shipshape £57 profit on that daring double deal
0:38:11 > 0:38:12from our Hampshire hero.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17I'll go to any depth for a good profit.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Whatever you say, JC.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21Next on Knocker's to-do list
0:38:21 > 0:38:24is a visit to dealer Mike in Hertfordshire with his Dickensian jug.
0:38:24 > 0:38:31I've got a character jug which I'm trying to move along.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- I've grown attached to him. - Very nice. Silver-plated at the top.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38I think - is it perfect?
0:38:38 > 0:38:43The only thing I've not done, I've not cleaned it
0:38:43 > 0:38:46because it makes it look a bit bright and shiny.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48- It might rub it off. - It might!
0:38:48 > 0:38:51It's in good condition,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54it just all depends how much you want for it, doesn't it?
0:38:54 > 0:38:57I was looking for about 20 quid for the thing.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02I think at £20 we have a deal. Shall we shake on it?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Yeah, we'll have to now, won't we?
0:39:04 > 0:39:07I should have said more, I should have said 25 or something.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- You would have got 25.- No! Just cut that. Cut that immediately.
0:39:11 > 0:39:14Sorry, Eric. We tell it like it is.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Knocker should have seen that one coming
0:39:16 > 0:39:18but at least he pockets a £10 profit.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Eric doesn't dwell on his misfortune for long though.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25He comes out fighting with an £80 sale of the napkin rings
0:39:25 > 0:39:29he bought for just £10, a very civilised £70 profit
0:39:29 > 0:39:31for the Earl Of Earthenware.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34And that big final sale for Knocker's got to have
0:39:34 > 0:39:36The Hammer shaking in his boots.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39He's still got two sales left to make
0:39:39 > 0:39:43and he's taking his beanie bear to local acquaintance, Sonia.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47With a daughter called Erin, this bear has got her name all over it.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50What are you laughing at, Sonia?
0:39:50 > 0:39:54- Because it's green and her name is Erin Green.- Pleased or disappointed?
0:39:54 > 0:39:55It's very small.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58- It's not the first time I've heard that, I can tell you.- OK.
0:39:58 > 0:40:03- Limited edition, still in the packaging.- Right.- Want to buy it?
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- What's the damage going to be? - 25 quid?- I'll give you 20.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11You'll give me 20 and 10 seconds to get out your office, is that right?
0:40:11 > 0:40:14£20. I will take that
0:40:14 > 0:40:19and I shall not darken your doorstep for a long time. £20? Deal.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24A very bearable profit of £19.50 for The Hammer who wastes no time
0:40:24 > 0:40:27in heading for a local hostelry in a bid to offload
0:40:27 > 0:40:29his drinking game to his friend, Giles.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33I've never seen the game before.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35It is French, it's in good condition, the box is intact,
0:40:35 > 0:40:37all the pieces are there.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Do you want to make me an offer? - I'll give you 15 quid for it.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43- 15 quid, I was thinking 40 quid actually.- 40!
0:40:43 > 0:40:46This is vintage, Giles. You can't get this any more.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Come on, you can do better than that.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53- I'll give you 20 quid.- £20! No, no, no. 35, come on, Giles.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- No way.- Give me 30.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- No.- Come on, 30 quid.- You're meant to know how bartering works!
0:40:59 > 0:41:0022.50.
0:41:00 > 0:41:06- Tell you what, £25, we'll have a deal. £25 is cheap.- 25 quid.
0:41:06 > 0:41:07- Go on then.- Deal.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Our happy Hammer comes up trumps with a profit of £23
0:41:12 > 0:41:16so can the young pretender triumph over the antiquarian Obi-Wan,
0:41:16 > 0:41:20or will our wily old knight of the north come good in the end?
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Each of our experts had £250 of their own money
0:41:24 > 0:41:26to spend at the car-boot sale.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31Eric Knocker Knowles made seven buys and spent a total of £122.
0:41:31 > 0:41:34John The Hammer Cameron made a massive 12 purchases
0:41:34 > 0:41:38but spent a total of just £41.50.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40All that matters from here on in is profit.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43All of the money that Eric and John have made from today's challenge
0:41:43 > 0:41:45will be going to charities of their choice
0:41:45 > 0:41:49so without further ado, it's time to find out who is
0:41:49 > 0:41:51today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- John, how you doing? - Good evening, Eric.- Good evening.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57The last time we met it was good morning
0:41:57 > 0:42:00and a very early good morning at that, wasn't it?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02I need to know how you got on with my book.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05I did read it first, Eric, you'll be pleased to know.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07I did read it and the signature did help
0:42:07 > 0:42:12but you managed to buy the only genuine antiques at that car boot.
0:42:12 > 0:42:16- I bought household stuff.- I did like the cloisonne that I bought.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20It hurt to sell something for less than I would be prepared to pay for it
0:42:20 > 0:42:22but that's the name of the game.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Was it the tat or was it the treasure that won the day,
0:42:25 > 0:42:28we're about to find out. Go for it.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30It was the tat! Good grief.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33What on earth have you been selling for that sort of money?
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Do you know how much I got for your book?- Go on, tell me.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39It wasn't that much.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42I wish I could have kept it actually. It was a good read.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44Come on. I've got another book for you to read.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48So John has trounced Eric in today's car-boot combat
0:42:48 > 0:42:50making over twice as much profit.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55When it comes to antiques knowledge, Eric is definitely my master.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58But when it comes to making profit out of other people's rubbish,
0:42:58 > 0:43:00I'm living proof that where there's muck there's brass.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03I don't want to come across as being a bad loser
0:43:03 > 0:43:08but how anybody could find such tat and then sell it for such a profit,
0:43:08 > 0:43:11it completely flabbergasts me.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I am obviously dealing with a man here
0:43:14 > 0:43:18who could sell snow or ice cream to Eskimos.
0:43:18 > 0:43:22But the antiques emperor will be hoping to strike back tomorrow
0:43:22 > 0:43:27when he takes on The Hammer in a continental clash at a flea market in Paris.
