0:00:54 > 0:00:59- 'Phil hits a brick wall.' - 90 quid, you can have it.- No.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03- What do you mean, no? Think about it. - No! I've thought.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06'And Paul tries out a new weapon of war.'
0:01:06 > 0:01:10- Three, two, one... - THEY LAUGH

0:02:33 > 0:02:37'..will Phil's familiar surroundings help him strike gold
0:02:37 > 0:02:40'or will Paul's perky practicality win the day?
0:02:40 > 0:02:45'They've each bundled up £1,000 of their own money to spend
0:02:45 > 0:02:49'and every single penny of profit will go to a charity of their choice.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52'So, Philip Serrell and Paul Hayes,
0:02:52 > 0:02:55'it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- Ah, good morning, Phil.- Paul Hayes, how are you, mate?- Great!
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- Here we are in Pewsey.- It's a perfect day for an auction.- Yeah.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06- I like Wiltshire, it's a good part of the world. Any plan? - Well, do you know what?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08I know from these sort of rural salerooms
0:03:08 > 0:03:12that the silver and all the jewellery tend to be stolen by dealers and collectors.
0:03:12 > 0:03:18- That's harsh.- I'm going to go for things that are a bit more unusual, not so run-of-the-mill. You?
0:03:18 > 0:03:20You can only react to what you see.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24And for me, if I go in with a firm plan to buy something, it's going to catch me out.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27So I'm going to be open-minded and see what's about.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Good luck to you, Philip. Good luck.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34'This is a game where anything can happen.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38'Our iron men have a steely determination to succeed.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41'But which of our titans will emerge triumphant?
0:03:41 > 0:03:45'Before they get into the auction action, they have just one hour
0:03:45 > 0:03:49'to look at the lots and make up a premium plan.'
0:03:49 > 0:03:54- It's a bit all show and no go, this one.- 'While Paul gets stuck into browsing,
0:03:54 > 0:03:59'Phil has run into an old mate of his who'll be one of the auctioneers for today's event.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03'He's asking his advice about some fly-fishing boxes he's spotted.'
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- David, I think these are absolutely fantastic.- They're lovely.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- They really are.- So these are what, 1920s, 1930s?- Yeah.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15And these would be for dry flies, which are meant to float on the surface.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18- That's right. - If you just have a look there,
0:04:18 > 0:04:23you can see it says, "Hardy Bros". It is definitely not at the lower end of the market.
0:04:23 > 0:04:28- These are fantastic. How much is the estimate? - Published estimate, £80 to £140.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- OK. So you'll take 80 now, then. - Definitely not.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- So I've got to bid on them? - You'll have to bid on them.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37I was always told that an auctioneer is not a man to be on nodding terms with.
0:04:38 > 0:04:43'They might know each other through the trade, but it's clear Phil won't get any favours.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47'Which will be music to Mr Morecambe's ears.'
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- HE PLAYS ACCORDION - # Ohh, je have le Put Le Money blues
0:04:51 > 0:04:56I think that's enough. It's a bit early in the morning for that. That was actually a scientific test
0:04:56 > 0:05:00just to make sure everything's working. Very expensive to buy new.
0:05:00 > 0:05:05But if I could get this for £70 or £80, it's a bargain, really.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09'And while our Paul can't resist a musical instrument,
0:05:09 > 0:05:12'across the room, Phil has focused in on an optical instrument
0:05:12 > 0:05:17- 'in less than optimum condition.' - I've got here a fantastic telescope
0:05:17 > 0:05:20which has clearly been through the mill because all this is later.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23But I really like that.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27And I think if that makes anything under 100 quid, that's going to be cheap.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31'Over in paintings and prints, Paul's been put off his stroke.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34'He's only signing autographs!'
0:05:34 > 0:05:39- There, you see, you'll find something good, I'm sure.- Thank you so much.- You're very welcome.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41- OK, now.- Good luck.- Thank you.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Beat The Fox, won't you? - I'll try and beat The Fox.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48'But it's not long before our boy spots a couple of Scottish landscapes.'
0:05:48 > 0:05:53Now then, interesting things here. These look like two 19th century oil paintings
0:05:53 > 0:05:57but they've been reframed in these horrible frames from the 1960s,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01so at first glance, you think they're later than what they are.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05But my gut feeling is, these are probably 1880, 1900.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07So they might be worth... Hadfield Cubley.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11Isn't that a great name? Mr Hadfield Cubley. There we go.
0:06:11 > 0:06:18'Mm. Improving an item to punch up the profit is territory normally marked out by The Fox.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21'And speaking of the wily one, he's busy with a walking-stick stand.'
0:06:21 > 0:06:25This is oak and these are brass bands, so it's coopered.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27So it's made a little bit like a barrel.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32And this would've stood in the hallway of your big Victorian or Edwardian country house
0:06:32 > 0:06:35and it would've contained not bellows, but sticks.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37And I think that...
0:06:38 > 0:06:41That's got to be worth between £50 and £100.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46I've got to whisper cos I don't want anyone else to hear what I'm thinking.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52'The viewing hour is soon up and Phil's old friend is in the chair as the bidding kicks off.'
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Right, lot 1.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58'Auctions may have been held for hundreds of years, but Mr Morecambe
0:06:58 > 0:07:01'is using the latest technology to increase his chances.'
0:07:03 > 0:07:07What's really useful is that while I'm waiting for the lots to come up,
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I can go on the internet,
0:07:09 > 0:07:13so while I'm waiting, I've been doing homework. I'm not texting my mates.
0:07:14 > 0:07:19'But our technical tactician has to tear himself away from the net
0:07:19 > 0:07:24'because his attention has been caught by a selection of toy robots about to go under the hammer.'
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- OK, here they are. Here's all these robots now.- 1970s plastic robots.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- 20, thank you. - There's a lot of hands gone up.
0:07:33 > 0:07:3522. 25, sir.
0:07:35 > 0:07:3825. 28. 30.
0:07:38 > 0:07:4132. 35. 38. And 40.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- 42.- One more.- 45. 45.
0:07:45 > 0:07:4848? One more, sir? At 48.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Go on, one more. - 50. At 50. Take 5 now.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- At 50. I think it's worked. - I've gone a bit over the odds there.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- At 50. - HAMMER BANGS - There we go.- 349, thank you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02So now I'm the proud owner of 11 robots for 50 quid.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06What I'll do with them, I've no idea, but visually they're really interesting.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10They're funky. They remind you of your childhood. They're scientific.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14Erm, yeah, it's a fiver each. You can't go wrong, really, with that.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Honest.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20'Including the auction fees added to every sale,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23'the robots cost £59.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26'Paul's leapt into action first, but The Fox is on the prowl.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31'And rough, tough Phil is interested in...a doll's house.'
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Lot 111 is a 1930s Tri-Ang doll's house.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Let's see where he starts. We might get a hand up, we might not.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41I open the bidding at £50.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Ouch. That's me completely out of that.
0:08:47 > 0:08:52'It's too big a jump to make. Our saleroom stallion stumbles at the first hurdle.'
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Don't panic!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00'After the auctioneer swap-over, Paul is the next one to bite.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04'A set of 1830s pictures of the Vale of Aylesbury steeplechase.'
0:09:04 > 0:09:09- I'm selling, then, at £60. Gentleman at the back. - HAMMER BANGS
0:09:09 > 0:09:15'The steeplechase pictures set Paul back £70.80 after commission.'
0:09:15 > 0:09:19I'm delighted with these pictures. At the end of the day, they're prints,
0:09:19 > 0:09:23but they're made from steel engravings which have been hand-tinted.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28What I don't like about them is the fact that the glass is missing on two, broken on one.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30But for a few pounds, I could have all these glazed up,
0:09:30 > 0:09:35well presented, and we've got a set of four original prints here.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39'Paul has taken as early lead. He's got two items in the bag
0:09:39 > 0:09:44'while The Fox is still languishing in an empty pool of dealer despair.'
0:09:45 > 0:09:48This is me looking cool, calm and disinterested.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51HE WHISTLES
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Do you know what, Phil? You take your time.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I've got all the time in the world. I'm loving it here.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02I can finally feel my feet and the ends of my fingers. There we go.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05'Phil's left out in the cold, but once warmed up,
0:10:05 > 0:10:08'young Hayes is chomping at the bit again.'
0:10:08 > 0:10:10OK, the next lot they've actually split up.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Remember those two Scottish scenes which had the modern frames?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19They've split these up into two separate paintings. It's Henry Hadfield Cubley.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22I have researched him. He is listed as a well-known artist.
0:10:22 > 0:10:2555. 58. 60.
0:10:25 > 0:10:2765. 70.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31£70 I have. 70 I have. Do I see 75 anywhere?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34- I'm selling, then, at £70. - HAMMER BANGS
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- 349.- 349.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39'Yes, that's his third item.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42'Including the fees, the painting cost £82.60.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46'And straight away he gets the second Hadfield Cubley.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48'It cost a little more - £94.40.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52'But he's got the pair and he's got big plans.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:54So I'm going to take these frames off
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and hopefully, if I've got enough in my budget,
0:10:57 > 0:11:01I'll replace them with a big gilt frame, perhaps with the name of the artist underneath,
0:11:01 > 0:11:04and they'll look totally different.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Presented correctly, these will show me quite a bit of profit.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12'And that's the name of the game. But at this rate,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15'The Fox won't be making any money at all.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17'He still hasn't spent a penny.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20'Incredibly, he's not in the least bit fazed.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24'He even saunters over to take the Mickey out of Mr Morecambe.'
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Are you setting up a wallpaper shop? HE LAUGHS
0:11:27 > 0:11:32- I've bought a lot of pictures. - I've heard that, yeah. How many? - Just two or three.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37'And Paul's about to bid for some more pictures.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40'Some Japanese wood block prints from the 19th century.'
0:11:40 > 0:11:45100 to start me. 100 I have. 100 I have.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- It's on the phone here.- 110.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50130. 140.
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- 180.- Last one for me. - That's 200 and odd pounds.- 190. 200.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57210. 220.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I thought you said that was the last one for you.- It was. No, that's it.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- 240.- No, sir. No, sir.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- At 240...- The one that got away.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09- That's 275 quid.- Yeah, I know.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- I wish I'd gone a bit more. You put me off there.- Blaming me!
0:12:13 > 0:12:16No, honestly. Cos where else are you going to find them?
0:12:16 > 0:12:21I'm going to have to fly cos I've just left somebody a phone bid on a box of Japanese prints
0:12:21 > 0:12:23and I want to go sort them. See you later.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29'Ooh, that shady Fox. He really needs to go and hunt down a purchase
0:12:29 > 0:12:33'as unbelievably, he's still yet to buy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:38'As Phil noses about, up comes the accordion and Paul pounces.'
0:12:38 > 0:12:4055. 60. 65. 70.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44- 75. We're out.- I don't want any more than 75. That's it.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49- That's my maximum.- 80 anywhere? - No-one else wants it. I'm having it. - 75. 80.- Oh.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51- 80.- Go on, one more.- 85.
0:12:51 > 0:12:59- 85. I'm prepared to sell now at £85. - HAMMER BANGS - 349.- There we go.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02'The accordion hits all the right notes for our music man.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05'He hands over £100.30.
0:13:07 > 0:13:11'As the accordion blows more heat into Mr Morecambe's game,
0:13:11 > 0:13:14'it's starting to get chilly on the foxy side of the room.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23'Our titans both arrived with £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26'Paul Mr Morecambe Hayes has bought fast.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30'He's got five lots under his belt so far for £407.10,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34'leaving him £592.90 in the kitty.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38'But in a terrible twist,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41'Phil The Fox Serrell hasn't bought a single thing.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45'So, just to be clear, that's no items and nothing spent,
0:13:45 > 0:13:48'leaving him with his full £1,000 to spend.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54'Now, either this game is going terribly for The Fox
0:13:54 > 0:13:57'or he knows something that no-one else does.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03'He's one tough cookie, but even though he's an auctioneer by trade, he's barely even bidding.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08'Mr Morecambe, on the other hand, goes from strength to strength. He's looking unstoppable.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11'But The Fox is a renowned petrol head and at last,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14'as a collection of model cars comes up,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17'he pops his key into the ignition.'
0:14:17 > 0:14:19I have 20. £20 I have.
0:14:19 > 0:14:2120 I have. 20 I have. £20 I have.
0:14:21 > 0:14:25- 'He's into gear.'- 22. 25.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28- 'He accelerates.'- 30. 32.
0:14:28 > 0:14:33- £32 on my left. I'm selling, then, at £32 on my left. - HAMMER BANGS
0:14:33 > 0:14:36# Hallelujah
0:14:36 > 0:14:40'And at long last, he's finally off the mark!
0:14:40 > 0:14:43'The classic cars cost £37.76
0:14:43 > 0:14:46'and The Fox is revved up.'
0:14:47 > 0:14:53I've got eight really great classic British sports cars from the 50s.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56And I'm hopeful... I know a few people in the old car world
0:14:56 > 0:15:01and I'm hoping that I can find one or more people that I can sell these to.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05'As Phil ups his speed, the telescope brings a glint to his eye.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08'But there could already be trouble on the horizon
0:15:08 > 0:15:11'as Mr Morecambe is after it, as well.'
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- What I like about the telescope, it has the maker on it.- Ross of London.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- It'll be interesting to see what it makes. What are you going to give? - I don't know.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I saw somebody having a really good look at it, so there's stiff competition.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27'Yes, it's the clash of the trading titans!
0:15:27 > 0:15:30'On the warm side of the room, Paul is red hot
0:15:30 > 0:15:32'and he's set his sights on victory.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36'Phil might be blue, but he's started to warm up
0:15:36 > 0:15:39'and he's a gladiator that wants glory.'
0:15:39 > 0:15:43Phil comes to action now like a coiled spring. I can see it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47The tactic here is just to watch and see what happens initially.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I can open the bidding at £50. At 50 I can bid. At 50. 55.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54At 55. 55. 60.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57- 5. 70.- I'm sure that's Phil.- 75. 80.
0:15:57 > 0:16:0085. At 85.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03At 85. At 85. And 90.
0:16:03 > 0:16:0695. 100.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08And 10, sir. 120. 130.
0:16:08 > 0:16:11140. I love it. 150.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- No, thank you.- At 150. - Swine. He's left it for me.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Oh, I'm really, really sorry, mate. I'm really sorry.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- All finished? 349. - HAMMER BANGS
0:16:21 > 0:16:23HE LAUGHS
0:16:23 > 0:16:26Well, there we are. That was Phil Serrell bidding on that.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29£150. The swine! I could've got it for 120 if he'd shut up.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34'Remember, The Fox knows all the tricks of the auction.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38'Mighty Morecambe lands his sixth lot, the telescope,
0:16:38 > 0:16:40'but it's his most expensive item so far.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44'£177 including commission.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49'Another knock to The Fox. But he soon picks himself off and dusts himself off.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51'He buys his second lot of the day,
0:16:51 > 0:16:55'miniature figures of a dog and a cat for £29.50.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01'Phil's expert engine is chugging away nicely now.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05'Next on his road to victory, a silver Victorian inkwell.'
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Straight in, £120 I've got. 130.
0:17:09 > 0:17:14- 140 commission. 150. 160. Take 5, sir?- Yeah.- 165.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19- At £165. - HAMMER BANGS - Thank you, sir.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22'Our antiques king is back in the swing
0:17:22 > 0:17:27'and the inkwell costs Phil a total of £194.70.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31I think it's a really good quality thing.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35Everywhere is hallmarked. The man who's got a wonderful study
0:17:35 > 0:17:39with a good desk and a good quality fountain pen,
0:17:39 > 0:17:41that's the sort of thing for him to buy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- # I really can't stay - # But, baby, it's cold outside
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- # I've got to go away - # But, baby, it's cold outside
0:17:49 > 0:17:53'Finally, Phil is in from the cold and heads over to where the trading temperature
0:17:53 > 0:17:57'is completely different, right next to Mr Morecambe.'
0:17:57 > 0:18:00- I've been sat over there.- Yeah.- In the cold corner of the saleroom.- Yep.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Yep.- You've got a fire here. What's going on?
0:18:03 > 0:18:07There's method in my madness. I must admit, everything I've bought
0:18:07 > 0:18:11- has been within close proximity of this log burner.- How does that work?
0:18:11 > 0:18:16- Lot number 573 I'm interested in. It's a stick stand. It's right behind us.- A walking-stick stand.- Yeah.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19- Start the bidding... - 'As Phil starts on the stick stand,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21'Mr Morecambe has mischief in mind.'
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- 25.- Don't let me put you off, will you?- No, no, no.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Have I ever told you, when I started out as a kid in this job,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I used to buy these sorts of things.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32- 42.- I'm not putting you off at all, am I?- No, not at all.
0:18:32 > 0:18:3448? 48. 50.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- Don't let me distract you. - No, not at all.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39'Check out that determined foxy focus.'
0:18:39 > 0:18:42He's not to be beaten. He's like a rock. Look at him.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44140. 150.
0:18:44 > 0:18:49- You do realise that's your missus on the phone, don't you? - It's actually yours.- Is it?
0:18:49 > 0:18:54'He's even able to make a jokey jab! What a contender.'
0:18:54 > 0:18:56I'm selling, then, at £150.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00- HAMMER BANGS - Hey, well done! - I'm pleased with that.- Are you?
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Yeah, I am. - I didn't put you off, did I?
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- No, not at all. - Damn! Try harder next time.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10'Yes, an impressive show of gladiatorial grit to blank out Mr Morecambe.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14'The stick stand cost £177.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17'Paul then decides to bid on a leather-bound book
0:19:17 > 0:19:20'and it's time for some fox-like revenge.'
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- What are you going to give for it? - I've no idea. Just keep quiet.- £10?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- No.- How much do you think?- 20. - It's horrible when people are talking to you
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- when you're concentrating on your bidding. Is that what happened earlier?- No.- 24?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- You'll never put me off.- 28? - No. Was it £30?- I can't remember.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40Was it 30 or was it 300? Was it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:44- Stop!- Was it 35?- Go on, one more. I've dropped my card now!
0:19:44 > 0:19:48- It's going up now, look.- £38. - How much was that?- Who knows?
0:19:48 > 0:19:50- THEY LAUGH - Go on, one more.
0:19:50 > 0:19:5340. 42.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- No, sir.- I can't be horrible to him. - £42.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59Come on, mate. HAMMER BANGS
0:19:59 > 0:20:03- You put me off. Did I buy it? - No.- Oh.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06'Mm, Paul might be way out in the lead,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09'but Philip shows him who's boss.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12'But as The Fox bounds off to pick up his stick stand,
0:20:12 > 0:20:17'Paul's paddle waves again. He buys his seventh and last item.
0:20:17 > 0:20:21'£35.40 gets a 19th century Staffordshire figure
0:20:21 > 0:20:25'of the actor David Garrick playing Richard III.'
0:20:25 > 0:20:28He's still going. But I'm going to have a close look at this fire
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and just wait for him to finish.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Ohh, lovely.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38'Never mind the wood burner, Foxy has a fire in his belly
0:20:38 > 0:20:43'and wants to reel in one last lot, the Bakelite fly boxes.'
0:20:43 > 0:20:46At 145, bid's with me. 150, sir. 155.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49160. At 160 I'm out. Bid's now in the room.
0:20:49 > 0:20:54- At 160 on my left. 160. - HAMMER BANGS - Thank you, Philip.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58'A nice way to round up the day.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01'Phil nets the fly boxes for £188.80.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05'As our purchasing pirates pick up their treasure,
0:21:05 > 0:21:07'let's tot up the figures.
0:21:08 > 0:21:14'Both bidding beasts arrived with £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20'Paul Mr Morecambe Hayes ended up with seven lots for £619.50.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24'And mercifully for Phil The Fox Serrell, he had a late surge.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30'He quickly racked up five items for £627.76 including fees.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34'Somehow it's ended up with not much in it.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37'So how do our boys think they've done?'
0:21:37 > 0:21:42Boy, there's nothing like an eclectic mix! We've got robots, paintings and buckets. What's going on?
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- It's great fun! 11 robots. Where else are you going to find them? - Which are your two best buys?
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Has to be the telescope. I think that's fantastic.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Someone under-bid that, didn't they? - Yes, I believe so.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57I could've got it for 80 quid, but someone ran me up.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00I think the best lot of the whole thing are these two paintings.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Light clean, they'll be good. - A bit of a clean,
0:22:03 > 0:22:07get rid of those horrible frames and I think they'll be a good thing.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11- What about you?- I love these fishing flies. They're by Hardy.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15And what I'm really pleased about is this little silver inkwell.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17- It's got a London make on there. - You've got the quality.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21But the one thing is, all day long you've been stood by the fire.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24- It's been lovely and toasty. - I'm frozen! Can we go and get warm?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Yeah, go on. I got a bit too hot.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34'Our gargantuan gladiators hop on their chariots
0:22:34 > 0:22:37'and scoot back to their own corners of the country.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40'It's time to muscle down and prepare to make profit!
0:22:40 > 0:22:45'They've got to sell all their items for as much money as possible
0:22:45 > 0:22:49'and this is where their top-notch contacts come to the fore.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51'It's a game of rugged determination
0:22:51 > 0:22:54'and only one of our smooth talkers can win.
0:22:54 > 0:22:59'In Lancashire, lithe Mr Morecambe is limbering up and he's liking his lots.'
0:22:59 > 0:23:02So these are the items I bought at auction.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06It was difficult as Philip Serrell was winding me up and putting me off things,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08but what I bought I'm very pleased with.
0:23:08 > 0:23:14These four prints of a steeplechase, I reglazed them, I got new glass and they look very presentable.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17I wasn't expecting to buy all these robots,
0:23:17 > 0:23:23but I'm so glad I did, they're funky, they're cool and they do work.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25There we are.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28The accordion, this seems to be a pre-war example.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Not one you see on the circuit today.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35They tend to go for the smaller examples. I might actually struggle trying to sell that.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40But I must admit, one of my best buys has to be this telescope.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43'Paul also has to sell the Henry Hadfield Cubley oil paintings
0:23:43 > 0:23:46'and the figurine of Richard III.
0:23:46 > 0:23:52'Over in Worcestershire, our wise warhorse thinks he's got the winning hand.'
0:23:52 > 0:23:56This stick stand, I think it's got a great country house feel to it.
0:23:56 > 0:24:00If I can find a local hotel where this would fit in the entrance hall or the foyer,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I think there should be a good profit in that.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Fishing tackle stuff is big, big business.
0:24:05 > 0:24:12So I've got to try and find either a collector or somebody who deals specifically in this type of stuff.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14What a fantastic quality silver inkwell.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18And I didn't see it in the auction room, but when I got it back home,
0:24:18 > 0:24:24just around there is the retailer's name and address in London and that really is going to add value.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30'Phil The Fox must also sell his collection of toy cars and the cat and dog figurines.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34'Our profit pirates are both giving off a glow of confidence.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39'But only one will triumph. They'll bash the phones, trawl the internet and arrange meetings.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45'But until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:46 > 0:24:51'And it's our Paul who's first out of the blocks, kicking off with quite a journey.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56'From his home in Morecambe, he travels almost all the way to the south coast of England
0:24:56 > 0:24:59'where he's hoping for a stellar sale.'
0:24:59 > 0:25:03So, here we are. I've got my telescope and tripod in hand.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05I'm in rural Hampshire.
0:25:05 > 0:25:10And I'm here today to try and hopefully shed some light on what exactly this telescope was used for.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15And I've come along to one of the country's biggest collectors of telescopes.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21'After that bidding battle with The Fox, Paul paid £177 for this item.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25'So will Graham send Mr Morecambe over the moon?'
0:25:25 > 0:25:30- What would this be used for? - Generally speaking, it's not an astronomical telescope.- OK.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32But it would be used for looking at long distances.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37- This could be somebody like a harbour master looking out. - Sure. Harbour master, yeah.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41- HM Customs who might be looking for smugglers or... - You never know, do you?
0:25:41 > 0:25:45Any idea how old this might be? Just roughly, from your experience.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- It's probably about 100, maybe 120 years old.- That's amazing.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54- The body does seem to be a bit... - It's had a life.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- THEY LAUGH - But it could've been catching pirates.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00It looks like someone's hit a pirate with it, to be honest.
0:26:00 > 0:26:06So even in this condition, if I was to ask you around the £300 mark, would that be a realistic figure?
0:26:06 > 0:26:11- Am I under-selling it there? - I think we could bargain at that. - Bargain at that, OK.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14If I said £275,
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- as it is, could we shake on that? - I'd shake on that.- Shall we do that?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- That's lovely. Thank you very much.- Excellent.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25'Yes, that's a brilliant start to Paul's game.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28'The telescope magnifies his money quite considerably.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31'He sees a profit of £98.
0:26:31 > 0:26:38'It means that Phil is instantly under pressure, but our cool cat has style on his side.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41'He's already lined up his first potential sale,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44'deep in the beautiful Herefordshire countryside.'
0:26:44 > 0:26:49They say the only difference between men and boys is the size of their toys.
0:26:49 > 0:26:54And I've got my toy cars in the bag here and the man I'm going to see, his toys are substantially bigger.
0:26:54 > 0:26:58Now, he is a farmer turned classic-car dealer.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01So when it comes to me trying to sell him these things,
0:27:01 > 0:27:04I know he's going to really give me a bad time.
0:27:04 > 0:27:10'Remember, The Fox paid nearly £38 for his toy classic cars.'
0:27:10 > 0:27:14- Gordon, how are you?- Hello, Philip. How are you? You all right?
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- This is glorious, isn't it? - Beautiful car, isn't it?
0:27:17 > 0:27:21- So that's an XK...- 120. - And that's 1953?- 1951.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25Now, I know that people who collect the big grown-up cars
0:27:25 > 0:27:27also collect toy cars, don't they?
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- They do a bit.- I have brought along...- Oh, yeah.- Here we go.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- What's that, an XK120.- 120.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37- There another...- XK120.- XK120.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- And then we've got a little Healey, look.- Hm.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- I've got one like that. - That's actually that car, isn't it? - That's right.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- This is putting the price up, isn't it?- It would, wouldn't it?
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Especially if I sold it with it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54There's eight of them and I reckon there's between 100 and 110 quid's worth there.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57That's what I think. What do you reckon to that, then?
0:27:57 > 0:28:02You're £100, £110. I'm £70.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07- 90 quid, you can have them.- No. - No? Think about it.- No. I've thought.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- HE LAUGHS - £80.- Oh, come on!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- It's cold.- I'd toss you, 70 or 90.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16'Ooh, a smart move by Gordon.
0:28:16 > 0:28:20'One of Phil's own favourite tricks. The deal-deciding coin toss.'
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- Heads.- Are you ready for this?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- It's heads! Whoo!- Ohh!
0:28:29 > 0:28:34'Yes, the groan says it all. Not the speedy start Phil was hoping for.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37'Gordon wins the toss and hands over £70.
0:28:37 > 0:28:42'Foxy fixes a profit of £32.24.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44'And he's straight into his second sale.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48'His cat and dog figures are bought by Pamela in Worcester
0:28:48 > 0:28:50'who's a feline fanatic.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54'She pays £50 and Phil makes a profit of £20.50.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57'But it's still not enough to catch up with Mr Morecambe,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00'who's back in his home county of Lancashire.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05'He's come to Leyland where he's meeting David from the town's accordion club.'
0:29:05 > 0:29:08Have you come across the maker before, Pietro?
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Yeah, Pietro was a famous accordionist. He was an Italian-American.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18- So it's like having a Les Paul guitar.- Yeah. He was a top player and they named the brand after him.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21Look inside the bellows to make sure there's no splits.
0:29:21 > 0:29:23We can tell that if...
0:29:23 > 0:29:28It's shutting slightly. See it's shutting on its own without playing so there are some air leaks.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32'The true test, though, is whether it holds a tune.'
0:29:32 > 0:29:35HE PLAYS ACCORDION
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- That's in not bad condition. - And what do these do here?
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- That's for accompaniment. You just play the two together.- Go on, then.
0:29:47 > 0:29:50HE PLAYS ACCORDION
0:30:00 > 0:30:02That is beautiful!
0:30:02 > 0:30:06We have a concert on tonight and a few people coming down to play.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10And what we'll do is take this in, have a play and see if anyone's interested in buying it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:17'But once he's in the hall, Paul realises he may have a challenge on his hands with this crowd.'
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Are you in the market for a fantastic accordion? Look at this.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- I've got six.- You've got six?
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Now then, sir, would you happen to be in the market for a new accordion?
0:30:27 > 0:30:33- Do you have several? - I could sell you nine. - You've got six, you've got nine.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- You can never have too many, I say. - I've got eight.- You've got eight.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40My wife will kill me if I go back with another accordion.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43- Do you have several?- Two.- Two.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48'It's not looking promising. Is there anyone in the room who'd like to add to their collection?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51'Paul paid just over £100 for his accordion,
0:30:51 > 0:30:57'but at his own impromptu auction, he's forced to start the bidding at 50.'
0:30:57 > 0:31:00There it is, thank you very much, sir. I have a bid of £50.
0:31:00 > 0:31:04This gentleman here at £50. Anyone else want to come in at 55 here?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Thank you very much. I have 55, sir. Thank you very much.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10It's £60, £60 I have in the door there.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13£60, we're looking for 65, sir. 65 out there.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Make it 70. £70 I have.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17Anybody want to come in here?
0:31:17 > 0:31:21OK, sold to the gentleman at the door. Can I have a massive round of applause?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24'Oh, the accordion fails to hit the right note
0:31:24 > 0:31:27'and leaves Paul all of a semi-quaver.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30'It's a loss of £30.30.
0:31:30 > 0:31:35'But the lad's not crotchety. He picks himself up and heads to York
0:31:35 > 0:31:38'with the Staffordshire figure of the 18th century actor David Garrick,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41'playing Shakespeare's Richard III.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46'He sells it to a museum dedicated to the real-life king for £45,
0:31:46 > 0:31:50'bringing in a decent profit of £9.60.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53'So, as we reach our midway stage,
0:31:53 > 0:31:56'our mighty marksmen are both making progress.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01'Phil The Fox Serrell has so far sold two of his five items,
0:32:01 > 0:32:05'and he's sitting on a pretty profit of £52.74.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08'But it's Paul Mr Morecambe Hayes who's in the lead.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10'He's got rid of three of his seven lots
0:32:10 > 0:32:14'and has the profit to show for it, £77.30.
0:32:16 > 0:32:19'So it's The Fox who's fighting for his reputation
0:32:19 > 0:32:22'as we enter the latter stages of our right royal rumble.
0:32:22 > 0:32:26'But when focus is needed, Phil is the man.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29'With his silver inkwell, he needs to be on top form.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34'At nearly £195 it's the most expensive item he bought.
0:32:34 > 0:32:40'He's near Kidderminster hoping to sell it to one of his regular customers, Tom.'
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Now, I remember selling you a really good fountain pen and I thought,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47for the man who's got the best fountain pen,
0:32:47 > 0:32:50you've got to have the best inkwell. I thought this was a belter.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54This hallmark here, where does that show it was made?
0:32:54 > 0:32:59It could have been made anywhere, it's where it was assayed, that's where the hallmark was applied.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04And the assay office in this instance, it's got a leopard's head, so that's London.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07If it had been an anchor, that would've been Birmingham,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10a crown would've been Sheffield.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13I'd like to get as close to 320 as I could for it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Well, I tell you what, I could live with £300.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18- Really?- Yeah.- Really?- Yeah, go on.
0:33:18 > 0:33:23Well, I think that's a really terrific offer from you, Tom, and I'm going to take that.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26'And in one stroke of the pen,
0:33:26 > 0:33:28'The Fox rewrites the story of this contest.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33'The inkwell sinks a profit of £105.30.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35'And Phil leaves Paul trailing in his wake.
0:33:35 > 0:33:40'Up next for Mr Morecambe is his set of four engravings of the Vale of Aylesbury steeplechase.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44'After putting in new glass, they stand him at almost £85.
0:33:44 > 0:33:49'Paul gallops to an antiques centre in Wendover, just down the road from Aylesbury,
0:33:49 > 0:33:53'and he may be geed up but he has some big jumps ahead of him.'
0:33:53 > 0:33:58We've got about two or three sets already, so alas, we don't really need any more.
0:33:58 > 0:34:02'And that's a story he keeps hearing.'
0:34:02 > 0:34:06- Let's put it in perspective, those two are originals.- Yes.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09And they're priced at £78 the pair.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11- OK.- Retail. - Right, OK, that's retail.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- And those are 150 years old, these are 50 years old.- OK.
0:34:15 > 0:34:20'With the clock ticking, our Paul has to accept that Wendover is a non-runner.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24'He eventually sells the pictures at an antiques fair for £60.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26'Including the cost of the pitch at that market,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29'it all adds up to a loss of £29.80.
0:34:29 > 0:34:34'But our blue-eyed boy remains undeterred in his money-making mission.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37'Remember those Henry Hadfield Cubley oil paintings?
0:34:37 > 0:34:42'True to his word, Paul's reframed them himself and wants to sell them again at auction.
0:34:42 > 0:34:48'So he's brought them to a saleroom in Shrewsbury where Jeremy is the director of fine art.'
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Henry Hadfield Cubley, have you heard of this artist before?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Absolutely, he's something of a local here, he was a West Midlands artist,
0:34:55 > 0:34:59and he painted a lot of scenes of Wolverhampton,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02though these are Scottish Highlands scenes, not Wolverhampton.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Yeah, they don't look like Birmingham or Wolverhampton.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08How would you rate them if they were brought in off the street?
0:35:08 > 0:35:14- To put it bluntly, Hadfield Cubley can make anything from £90 to £900 at auction.- Really?- Oh, yes.
0:35:14 > 0:35:19And you paid 220, 225. Gosh, if you don't double up, it's a poor show, really.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23'This could be an incredible turn up for the bookkeeping.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27'They're potentially talking hundreds of pounds in profit.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30'We'll find out exactly how much they sell for later on.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35'It looks like Phil's pictures could really pack The Fox a punch.
0:35:35 > 0:35:40'But Phil's response is to come out shooting with both barrels. Well, one, actually.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43'He's come to a pub near Droitwich with his stick and umbrella stand.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46'But there's one already in the entrance hall.'
0:35:47 > 0:35:50- Carl, how are you? - Philip, good morning.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54What on earth is that thing you've got in the hall? What is it?
0:35:54 > 0:35:59- Oh, are you on about the umbrella stand?- No, this is a stick and umbrella stand, that is firewood.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- Tell me what you think.- The brass goes with the brass tables,
0:36:03 > 0:36:06the wooden... It's a nice looking thing, to be fair.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08I paid the thick end of 180 quid for it.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12And I think it's worth close to £300.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- How close? - Look at the look on his face.
0:36:15 > 0:36:20I don't see it at £300, but 240?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23How much? 240?
0:36:23 > 0:36:28- I don't know. 275. - Stick a fiver on it and it's yours.
0:36:29 > 0:36:34- As it's you, Philip, I wouldn't argue over a fiver. 280 quid.- Are you going to buy me a drink, mate?
0:36:34 > 0:36:38'And the stand brings in a profit of £103.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40'No scraping the barrel there.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43'But if Phil is to trump Paul's oil paintings,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46'he's going to have to pull off something pretty spectacular.
0:36:48 > 0:36:53'Mr Morecambe only has one lot to offload, the box of 11 toy robots.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56'Our antiques android is in Nottingham
0:36:56 > 0:37:01'to meet robot enthusiast John and his champion robot warrior.'
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Ah, now then, John. How are you? All right? Nice to meet you.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09- You, too, nice to meet you. - And this is The Ripper, is it?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11This is the current UK champion.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14That's amazing. So what does he do? He just fights other robots?
0:37:14 > 0:37:17He fights other robots, he's fitted with a flipper powered by CO2,
0:37:17 > 0:37:21he drives underneath someone else and flips them out of the arena.
0:37:21 > 0:37:25I brought along a selection of robots. Your robot, OK, it can flip things,
0:37:25 > 0:37:27but can it zap you with a laser beam?
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- Look at that!- Oh, my God. - Isn't that amazing?
0:37:30 > 0:37:35I've also got another one here, look. But can I interest you in one or two or maybe the whole lot?
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- You can never have too many robots. - I do have a lot of robots already.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I mean, what were you thinking?
0:37:41 > 0:37:4485 quid as a lot. How does that sound?
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- What about 75?- 75 quid? - Yeah, for the lot.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52- Right, OK, shall we shake on that? - Let's shake on it.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56'The robots make £16 and Paul's work here is done.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59'Time to let rip with The Ripper.'
0:37:59 > 0:38:04- I'd love to find out what Ripper does.- Well, Ripper's got the CO2-powered flipper.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- Right.- Want to have a go? - Are you sure?- Yeah.- Go on, then.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12It's quite simple. Stand back a little bit. All you've got to do, this stick just here, push it down.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15- That's all you have to do?- That's all.- And what will it do?- It'll flip.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- Three, two, one. - HE LAUGHS
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Do you know what? That's a bit scary for me, mate.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- I think your job's safe. Nice to meet you, John.- You, too. - I'll go for a lie down, I think.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33'Paul is flipping The Fox off his feet in this game
0:38:33 > 0:38:35'and all the glory is surely heading to Morecambe.
0:38:35 > 0:38:40'But our broad-shouldered bulldog can hack the intense pressure.
0:38:40 > 0:38:45'He has one final sale, the fly fishing boxes, and he's remarkably calm.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49'But then the surroundings of the River Frome probably help.'
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I really, really love these. And after I bought them
0:38:52 > 0:38:55I found a guy who lives in Dorset who collects vintage fishing tackle.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00I've come down here hoping to sell to him. He couldn't make it today but he sent a friend along.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03I'm hoping he's going to find these just irresistible.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08'Phil paid nearly £189 for the boxes.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11'Can he reel in a profit from Matt?'
0:39:11 > 0:39:17That I think is probably nothing, really. A little line waxer in what would've been a silver-plated box.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19I guess, what, 1870, 1880?
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Yeah. Yeah. Maybe a little bit later. Nice little box.
0:39:23 > 0:39:27These I love. I just love the effect of them.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- I know that Hardy is the best name. - It's a tortoise shell effect, isn't it?- Absolutely right.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34- That one's got windows. - Yep.- That one hasn't.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39To me, that's much more attractive. But I'm told that's worth a little bit more than that one.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Yeah, I think these are known as the pipe-cleaner boxes.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46- I think they appeared in 1934 in the catalogues.- Really?
0:39:46 > 0:39:49Priced at ten shillings and sixpence.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52- Which is, what, 52 and a half pence, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- I'd like a little more than that.- OK.
0:39:54 > 0:40:00- I was thinking if I could get 140 each for these...- OK.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04- And 20 quid for that, that's the thick end of £300. - Yeah, chuck that in, yeah.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- My good friend Mark collects game fishing tackle.- Right.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12So he's left me to negotiate.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Has he given you a fixed price?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18He's told me what to go up to...
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- ..which is 210. But...- Really?
0:40:23 > 0:40:26- Well, see, I think they're worth more than that.- OK.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30- All right? So I don't want you to get into trouble with Mark here.- No.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32But I do want you to get into trouble with Mark here.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35If we dropped it to 250, 260?
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Erm, what about 240?
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I think that's really fair of you.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45I hope you don't lose your friend on the back of it.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47- I don't think so. - I'm going to take that.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51'Matt's confident that he's paid the right price
0:40:51 > 0:40:53'and Phil hooks in a profit of £51.20.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56'So now they're all sold up.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00'But which of our demon dealers had the dogged determination to dig deep
0:41:00 > 0:41:04'and who is left looking decidedly dodgy?
0:41:04 > 0:41:08'It all started back at the auction when both our bargain busters
0:41:08 > 0:41:11'had £1,000 of their own money to spend.
0:41:11 > 0:41:17'Phil The Fox Serrell bought five lots and spent nearly £628.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20'Paul Mr Morecambe Hayes forked out slightly more.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25'Including restoration and selling fees, he spent just over £684,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28'but he walked away with seven buys.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31'So, at the end of the day, who's our prime profiteer?
0:41:31 > 0:41:37'All of the money that Paul and Phil have made from today's challenge will go to their chosen charity.
0:41:37 > 0:41:44'So without further ado, let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.'
0:41:44 > 0:41:48- Good morning, Philip. - Paul, how are you?- I'm great. How's things?- Auction day, isn't it?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52- It was your territory, the auction. - I don't know how I got on.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56- Remember those Hardy fishing boxes? - Yes.- I loved them from day one.
0:41:56 > 0:42:02- I didn't make a massive profit out of them but I went to the best place ever to sell them.- Right. Great fun.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04What about your fantastic telescope?
0:42:04 > 0:42:10- Apparently it was a really good one. The gentleman...- There was an under-bidder in the room.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14- Apparently it was a £750, £800 telescope.- Really? - When it was all done.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Wish I'd gone a bit more. - It didn't pan out for me.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Are you ready? Three, two, one, go!
0:42:19 > 0:42:23What is that? How did you do that?
0:42:23 > 0:42:28Well, I made good money on the telescope but then I lost it all on a pair of Scottish paintings.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31'Yes, those Scottish paintings.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36'It was all looking so promising but the landscape changed horribly in Shrewsbury.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39'The pictures didn't meet expectations at the auction
0:42:39 > 0:42:42'and sold for just £260.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46'After auction fees, the Hadfield Cubleys made a loss of £39.41
0:42:46 > 0:42:49'and completely changed the game.'
0:42:49 > 0:42:52That was a real good result for me. I don't know how I did it.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55But the inkwell and the stick stand, they did really well,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59but for me the whole thing was about that fishing trip. Absolutely fantastic.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Well, I really enjoyed myself at the auction.
0:43:01 > 0:43:06I thought the telescope in particular was a real quality item.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09The profits didn't really pan out the way I expected them to.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13But it's not over until that accordion has been played.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15'Oh, really?
0:43:16 > 0:43:19'That should do the trick, then.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22'There'll be more secrets of the trade tomorrow
0:43:22 > 0:43:27'when our gun-slingers shoot it out for ultimate antiques achievement at a fair in Lincolnshire.'
