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 > 0:00:16And gives you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17You've got to be in it to win it.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Each week one pair of duelling dealers will face
0:00:22 > 0:00:23a different daily challenge.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- Lovely.- We've got some work to do, let's go.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29And it will be their own money
0:00:29 > 0:00:32and hard-earned reputations on the line as they see
0:00:32 > 0:00:36who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Get in there. Ha ha ha ha.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Today, Mark Stacey, dastardly duke of the decorative arts,
0:00:43 > 0:00:48takes on Mark Franks, motormouth wheeler dealer deluxe.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52Coming up, Franksy meets his match.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Will you please accept £10, pretty please?
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Do you know, if you'll go, I'll take £10.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58I have this effect on women!
0:00:58 > 0:01:01Mark Stacey strikes car boot gold.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04There's a little watercolour,
0:01:04 > 0:01:06it could be a jolly good profit in that.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And the pressure gets to both our boys.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Nice to meet you, old boy.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12WHISTLE
0:01:12 > 0:01:13It's done.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Saddle up steeplechasers, it's dealer derby day
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and the thoroughbreds of the antiques world
0:01:36 > 0:01:37are about to hit the turf.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41First up is Brighton's pedigree antiques expert.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45He's racy, he's got form and he'll always go the extra mile.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46What can I say?
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It's Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey.
0:01:50 > 0:01:55I love collecting these novelty ice buckets.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57He'll be up against London's likeliest lad,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01the fast-talking wheeler dealer who can jump any hurdle.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04It's Mark 'Franksy' Franks.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I think I'm going to make a real splash.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09In this two-horse race the stakes just couldn't be higher
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and our boys will have to use all their years of dealing experience
0:02:13 > 0:02:16to be the first over the finishing line.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- You always want something for nothing, don't you? - I do, I'm afraid.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23Today, our rival warhorses are at the Ford Airfield car boot sale.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26The going looks good and their mission is to hunt down
0:02:26 > 0:02:30the bargain buys that they can sell on for the biggest possible profit.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33You've really got to pick through this stuff to find anything worth buying.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38They've each got £250 of their own money to spend
0:02:38 > 0:02:42and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Mark Stacey and Mark Franks, it's time to
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48HORSE NEIGHS
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- Good morning, Mark. - Isn't it morning, good morning.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54It is, very early for me, but I'm very uncomfortable here.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- This is your stomping ground, isn't it?- I love a car boot sale. - You do, I've seen you.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01The bargains you can find at car boot sale
0:03:01 > 0:03:05and you're more fine antiques, aren't you, and objets d'art?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Gosh, you've been looking at my profile again.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09That's it. What are you looking to buy?
0:03:09 > 0:03:12I'm looking to buy things obviously that are going to give me a profit,
0:03:12 > 0:03:13but not small profits.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I want to see if I can find something
0:03:15 > 0:03:17which is a treasure hidden amongst the trash.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Where there's muck, there's brass.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22And I'm looking at things that I can restore,
0:03:22 > 0:03:26so stuff that needs a bit of work, do it up and maximise potential.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31- I've seen your doing up.- You could do with a bit of a... A bit of work.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Listen, see you later.- Ta-ta.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Yes, the barbed banter proves that
0:03:36 > 0:03:38these two are far from comfy stable-mates.
0:03:38 > 0:03:41While art deco expert Mark Stacey isn't used to
0:03:41 > 0:03:45the bundle for a bargain approach of the boot sale,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48cheeky chappy Mark Franks is in his element.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54If you can't find a bargain here, you can't find your way home.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57And with that, they're off.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Out they go as fast as their legs will carry them,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04combing this car boot for anything that will make them a profit and
0:04:04 > 0:04:05as they hit the first furlong
0:04:05 > 0:04:08both our boys are completely focused on the race ahead.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11It's a strong start from Stacey.
0:04:11 > 0:04:16What I'm trying to do is to find maybe some really quality gem items
0:04:16 > 0:04:18at very, very little money.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21But Franks is looking confident.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Mark's going to be in big trouble
0:04:23 > 0:04:25because he's more of a fine arts dealer
0:04:25 > 0:04:26so he might do better at the auction
0:04:26 > 0:04:28but here I should wipe the floor with him.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Stacey's got to move fast.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Lots of stalls to look at and I bet Mark is going to
0:04:34 > 0:04:37go for his usual eccentric stuff.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40I can't compete with him on that so I'm going to have to
0:04:40 > 0:04:44go for the quality end and if not I'll just buy a load of old tat.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48Well, Maverick, it's some sort of plan.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Mark Stacey is a fish out of water here at the car boot sale
0:04:54 > 0:04:56but Mark Franks is moving through the aisles
0:04:56 > 0:04:58like a bargain-hunting great white
0:04:58 > 0:05:01and he's spotted something which might just float his boat.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07A rubber dinghy. Fancy a trip to the seaside?
0:05:07 > 0:05:10Marcus, how much is that dinghy?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14I was offered £40 for it first thing this morning.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- You was offered £14, you should have took it.- No, 40.
0:05:17 > 0:05:18No, come on, leave off.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- Best on it to you would be half price.- A tenner?
0:05:22 > 0:05:24You've got to go back to school.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27School, I never went to school in the first place. That's why I'm here.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Yes, when it comes to boot fair banter, Franksy is the master.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Do you want a cheeky tenner, Marcus? - We'll let it go.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35Yeah? Let's do it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Let's do it. - Thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39He gets the dinghy down to just a quarter
0:05:39 > 0:05:42of the original asking price.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45This London lad is a man with a plan.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48I think the dinghy is probably 40 or 50 years old.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50To the right place, a nice rowing club or
0:05:50 > 0:05:54perhaps down by the seaside that £10 will make a very good profit
0:05:54 > 0:05:58and it's going to scare the bejeebers out of Mark Stacey.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03While Franksy's sailing off with his first purchase,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06the Maverick is yet to leave port.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09All the pressure, his head is starting to spin.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13# I'm spinning around, move out of my way. #
0:06:13 > 0:06:17I'll stop playing just in case I break it.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19# I'm breakin' it down. #
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Plenty of modern stuff but not much old
0:06:22 > 0:06:25and not much of quality so far.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27# I'm spinning around. #
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Mark Stacey has yet to buy.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31I'm really struggling, actually.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It seems his eyes are bigger than his budget.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Chess sets are quite collectable but they're also quite expensive,
0:06:37 > 0:06:39I think it'll be out of my budget.
0:06:39 > 0:06:44His rival though is already homing in on item number two.
0:06:44 > 0:06:45What about that?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Isn't that the strangest shaped chair you've ever seen?
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Is it a love it or hate it project? I don't know.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55It's going to need a lot of work but I really like it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Let's see if I can find it at a good price.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- 85, that one. - It's quite expensive, here, isn't it?
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- No. - DOG BARKS
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Even he thinks the prices are rough!
0:07:05 > 0:07:07How about 70? It's a lovely chair.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- It's the best thing on the market today.- Really?- Yeah.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12You're looking at it so it must be good.
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Go and get your spectacles on, are they in the front of the van?
0:07:15 > 0:07:19The master of the market knows that
0:07:19 > 0:07:21if he just keeps pushing he might get a better deal.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23£60.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- 65.- 60.
0:07:25 > 0:07:2665 and I'll carry it to your car.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30Go on, I'm going to take a chance on that because it's a nice thing. It needs a lot of work.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- You'll do well. - We'll see. Thank you.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36We'll buy it back if you don't. For 30.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39Franksy might have met his match on the haggling
0:07:39 > 0:07:44but he's bagged himself just the restoration project he set out to find.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47It's got to be 80 years old of anyone's money.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50I'm going to try and restore it as best as possible
0:07:50 > 0:07:52because the shape will sell it.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Someone will see a wonderful shape and not a doggy old chair.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00This, again, is going to scare the life out of Mark
0:08:00 > 0:08:02because he won't know what I'm up to.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05He's probably bought little bits of twiddly china and bits of glass.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- How much are your figures?- 75, sir. - Thank you very much.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14Yes, but not even twiddly china can tempt the Maverick this morning.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16I'd really want to pay £20 or £30 for them.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18If they're still there in an hour or so time
0:08:18 > 0:08:21when the car boot sale may be winding down
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I'll have another go, he can only say no.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27Franksy is the king of the car boot.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30He's now two items up on his rival
0:08:30 > 0:08:34and this top doggy is determined to have some fun.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Hello, little legs, you all right?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39What's going on here, look.
0:08:39 > 0:08:40DOG BARKS
0:08:40 > 0:08:42MARK LAUGHS
0:08:46 > 0:08:51I would well imagine that Mark Stacey is now frantic,
0:08:51 > 0:08:55probably having a hissy fit because he can't see anything
0:08:55 > 0:08:59and this is just, "Not good enough for me, I don't understand it."
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Franksy knows his arch enemy only too well.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Either the stuff is like a fiver or anything decent which is
0:09:06 > 0:09:08covered in dirt is 50 quid.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Mark's probably bought everything already,
0:09:12 > 0:09:16he's probably spent his £250 and is having a well-earned cup of coffee.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20But just when things look bleakest for our Brighton boy
0:09:20 > 0:09:21there's a light in the darkness.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23It's quite pretty, isn't it?
0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Very cheap to you, sir. - Yeah, how cheap?
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Five pounds.- Five pounds.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30- There we are, five pounds. - Much obliged.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33- I'd like it gift-wrapped of course. - Is it Christmas?- Yes.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39At last the Maverick's found an antique that's music to his ears.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Five pounds for a hand-painted Royal Doulton cabinet plate
0:09:43 > 0:09:45from about 1900, 1910.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Well, I think that's a bargain
0:09:48 > 0:09:53and if I can't get £20 or £30 for that then I'm going to give up
0:09:53 > 0:09:55and sell rubbish like Mark Franks.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Miaow!
0:09:57 > 0:10:02Oh, Mr Stacey has his claws out, but Franksy couldn't be less bothered.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Mark Stacey, Mark Stacey...
0:10:05 > 0:10:08No Mark Stacey, I'm afraid.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Ha!
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Well, he may not be blue-blooded but Brighton's finest is a king
0:10:15 > 0:10:20when it comes to quality spotting, even if it's in the back of a lorry.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Now what's going on here? I do like a good rummage, don't you?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25This is rather pretty, isn't it?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28This is a little topographical watercolour.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29This is a Victorian
0:10:29 > 0:10:34crystoleum, I think, which is a sort of print on glass,
0:10:34 > 0:10:38a Welsh lady having afternoon tea outside her Welsh cottage.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40That's lovely, isn't it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43How much did you want for these?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Perhaps 50 for the pair?
0:10:45 > 0:10:46That sounds a bit much to me.
0:10:46 > 0:10:4830 for the two, cash.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53- 35 and you've got a deal, Mark. - Oh, for goodness sake.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- Have you got more outside? - You can have a quick look.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Let me have a rummage, I'll see if I can find some other things, all right?
0:11:00 > 0:11:05The Maverick's not ready to part with his hard-earned just yet,
0:11:05 > 0:11:08but he'd better not hang about as Franksy's steely gaze has
0:11:08 > 0:11:11fallen on potential purchase number three.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15What's up with that top shelf, have you replaced it?
0:11:18 > 0:11:20It's got a key, it's got a key.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Franksy's spotted that the top shelf of the cabinet isn't original.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28What's the betting he'll use that to try and drive the price down?
0:11:28 > 0:11:31Do you want a cheeky score for it before you dump it?
0:11:31 > 0:11:32No, thank you, sir.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34It's going to be a long process. 21?
0:11:34 > 0:11:36£30.
0:11:36 > 0:11:37Go on, give us a chance.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41I am, at 30. If you can't earn on that, well...
0:11:41 > 0:11:42With my bad leg?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Yeah, yeah. Well, take your wallet out of your pocket.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Go on then, I'll have a go, 30 quid.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51A hard haggle but Franksy bags item number three.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Right, let's have a look at what I've bought.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00The most important thing by far is that the lead is not damaged.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02If that was damaged it would cost a fortune to put right.
0:12:02 > 0:12:07This top shelf is completely wrong and that can stay there.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12This would have been made in 1930s, it's made of oak, it's on a stand,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15which makes it slightly more unusual.
0:12:15 > 0:12:2030 quid, the glass is worth that all day long.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24Franksy is surging ahead but the Maverick's not giving up.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Another painting has set his profit radar buzzing.
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- There's a little watercolour. - Quite nice, that.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Sort of an abstract piece, isn't it, really?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Leslie Worth. - Moonrise over a lake.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Oh, by appointment to the late King George VI, so that's 52.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42That's it.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44There might be interest there.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49Could you throw in that horrible sampler with it for 50 quid?
0:12:49 > 0:12:52- You always want something for nothing.- I do, I'm afraid.
0:12:52 > 0:12:53- Don't we all? - Yes, very true.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Can you do that? - That's fine.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56All right, 50 quid. Perfect, thanks.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01That's a mighty purchase from the Maverick.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Four pieces of art in one fell swoop.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07He's levelled the game with Franksy and our Brighton boy
0:13:07 > 0:13:09is chuffed to bits.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12I'm secretly rather pleased with that, do you know.
0:13:12 > 0:13:13I spent £50.
0:13:13 > 0:13:16I really like the little Welsh crystoleum of the Welsh lady
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and I love the little watercolour but it's this little
0:13:19 > 0:13:23mystery watercolour that I'm most interested in finding out about.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26If it is right, it could be a jolly good profit in that.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Of course I did get that little sampler
0:13:28 > 0:13:32thrown in as part of the deal, it's not worth very much but it's a frame
0:13:32 > 0:13:36and I might get a fiver and to beat Mark, every fiver counts.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39Yes, that little wink says it all.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Will the mysterious watercolour turn out to be
0:13:41 > 0:13:44the Maverick's secret weapon?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Time will tell.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51It's been a hard-fought first lap around the car boot
0:13:51 > 0:13:56this morning with both our thrifty thoroughbreds vying for the lead.
0:13:56 > 0:14:02They each had up to £250 of their own money to spend.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05The Maverick had a slow start but that's all changing.
0:14:05 > 0:14:11He's now spent £55 on two deals leaving him with £195 to play with.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Franksy's led the way for most of the first half,
0:14:16 > 0:14:22buying three items for £105, that leaves him with £145 still to spend.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29Hang on to your rings, people, this race is about to enter its
0:14:29 > 0:14:35second phase and our ruthless riders are jockeying for pole position.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Hello, there.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39I'm just off for a cup of tea, I've finished, you know,
0:14:39 > 0:14:41- I've bought everything. - Really?- No, not really.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44I've bought a couple of items. How many have you bought?
0:14:44 > 0:14:48I'm OK, actually, I don't need to buy any more particularly
0:14:48 > 0:14:50but I want to find one more bargain if I can.
0:14:50 > 0:14:51I'm not happy now.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54A lot of people have been keeping them, they said they wanted me to win.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58They've been keeping them back for me, they say, "We don't want that Franks to win."
0:14:58 > 0:15:00- Oh really? I haven't got any friends, so er...- I'm your friend.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- I'd better trot on, I can't stand around talking to you, see you later. - See you later, Mark.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Riled by the return of his rival's confidence,
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Franksy charges straight back into the fray.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- How many have you got there?- A lot.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Has our boy just spotted a bargain?
0:15:18 > 0:15:21Can't wait to see how he's going to get out of them!
0:15:21 > 0:15:25I'm not worried about getting out of them, I'm worried about getting in it!
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Haven't got any Vaseline, have you?
0:15:28 > 0:15:31I know they're not antiques, but we're not at an antiques fair, we're at a car boot sale.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36I'm here to make money, profit. I'm always looking for a different angle.
0:15:36 > 0:15:40Wetsuits are expensive. These? Hmmm...
0:15:40 > 0:15:45I feel the south coast coming on with my dinghy and my wetsuits,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48I think I'm going to make a real splash.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51With a dinghy and six wetsuits in his swag bag,
0:15:51 > 0:15:56could it be that our Franksy is dreaming of a life on the ocean wave?
0:16:05 > 0:16:0715 quid. Would you buy them?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Well, he's not ready to take a punt on the oars at £15,
0:16:11 > 0:16:13but has spotted another potential purchase.
0:16:13 > 0:16:18Do you know where Mark Stacey lives? I do. He lives in Brighton.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Now, look at that. Isn't that wicked? That's lovely old image of Brighton.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25It says on the top, "A present from Brighton."
0:16:25 > 0:16:28If I can buy this and go to Brighton and sell it,
0:16:28 > 0:16:34especially if it's somebody he knows, that will be like putting salt into the wound.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37All we've got to do is find out the price. Madame?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Je voudrais le prix, s'il vous plait!
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- It's 15. It has got some age to it. - I know, it's damaged.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Oh!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47Will you please accept £10 for me?
0:16:47 > 0:16:48Will you please accept £10, pretty please?
0:16:48 > 0:16:53- If you'll go, I'll take £10! - I have this effect on women.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56If you go, I'll take £10. OK then.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Yes, pointing out the damage on the photo frame
0:16:59 > 0:17:03has sealed our likely lad his fifth deal of the day.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The image is from the Victorian times. Have a look.
0:17:06 > 0:17:10This is when they used to put these little carriages down into the sea
0:17:10 > 0:17:14and the ladies would get changed and step out into the sea.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18All we've got to do is see Mark Stacey's best friend
0:17:18 > 0:17:23or his fiercest competitor in Brighton and sell it to them.
0:17:23 > 0:17:28- That's going to make him hiss. - It's a dastardly plan.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Franksy aims to unsettle his rival by invading his home turf
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and he's so chuffed with his own deviousness,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37he just can't help strutting his stuff.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40- What do you think of that? Good? - That's me, just there, look.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42THEY LAUGH
0:17:42 > 0:17:46That the nudist beach, I didn't realise that! You cheeky thing.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52Fortunately, Mark Stacey is blissfully unaware of the schemes of his rival.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I don't normally do costume jewellery things,
0:17:54 > 0:17:57but I always like to have a little rummage because you never know,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00and I have known dealer friends who have found Victorian
0:18:00 > 0:18:02diamond jewellery in the costume jewellery box.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04I'm never that lucky.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08But there is this little piece here, I think it's a brooch - yes, it is.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12The thing that strikes me first of all is it's got quite a weird design about it.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Almost sort of...
0:18:14 > 0:18:19Interplanetary, with this sort of bubbling design. It's rather avant-garde.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24- How much is on the brooch?- Silver one?- Yes.- I've got 15 on that.- 15.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- It's lovely. It's unusual. - It's an unusual design.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33I like it because I think a lot of these vintage things are in fashion now.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Yeah. I'm not sure of its origins but it's got a nice hallmark on it.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39It's got a nice hallmark, yes.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41It's a little bit much for my purposes,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I need to try and sell it on, make a bit of money on it.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48- Will £10 be any good? - I'd like 12 for it.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50You're only going to get ten off me, unfortunately.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55- He's taking no prisoners now. - We can shake on ten, can't we?
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Go on, force yourself. You don't want to carry such a big piece home.
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Ten is OK.- Thanks a lot. I appreciate that.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06Yes, the Maverick's gone for the delicate, decorative brooch.
0:19:06 > 0:19:11Some serious arm-twisting means he's got his sixth purchase of the day for just £10.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13Am I going to make a profit?
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Well, I hope so.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19If not, it's a nice object and I'm very pleased to have found it.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24This is it. Time is running out and the finish line is in sight.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27Our antiques thoroughbreds now need to dig deep
0:19:27 > 0:19:31and summon up that final burst of speed.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32Come on, chaps.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36- This is what I'm looking at. - That's in good condition, that.
0:19:36 > 0:19:42- Take it out.- Now...- you can't beat a bit of Little Richard.- Tutti frutti.
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Do you want a bad offer? - You normally do. Go on, then.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- How about a fiver?- Ooh! - You all right?
0:19:50 > 0:19:52- You shocked me. - I've got exactly a fiver.
0:19:52 > 0:19:54Pop it in there then, I've had a good day.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58- Better than taking it home.- Exactly. - Give us a song, how does it go?
0:19:58 > 0:20:02# Tutti-frutti, oh rutti... #
0:20:02 > 0:20:07What a day it's been, with both our boys jumping and jiving to get the best deals.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10That's got to be worth 20 quid of anyone's money.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15Franksy, the master car booter has taken on a rather stressed Maverick.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Oh, don't watch me, madam, because I've no idea what I'm buying.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22# A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop A-lop-bam-boo! #
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Today's epic race is still hanging in the balance.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28The deal on the record means Franksy is done for the day,
0:20:28 > 0:20:32but the Maverick is still hoping for that one last hit.
0:20:32 > 0:20:34These are quite fun pottery.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Sort of 1950s or 60s, I suppose. But I love them.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- £6 for the pair, how's that? - £6 for the pair.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Well, I think those are quite fun.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47I love the rich enamel. Look at the detail and colours,
0:20:47 > 0:20:51bright blues and greens, and the fading of that red and white there.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53They are really quite nice quality, actually.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Look for the best, like these,
0:20:55 > 0:20:58and I think those are going to be really collectable in the future.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01I'm going to have to try and tweak you a bit, you know.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- I know you're going to say five pounds. Go on.- We can't say four?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- Five. Five is very cheap.- Actually, I think that is quite reasonable.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- I'm going to have them for £5. - Thanks.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12There's five quid, all right? Thanks very much indeed.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14I think I can double up on those.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think I can get 10 quid at least, for those. I think they are rather fun.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22Yes, after a blistering gallop to the finishing line,
0:21:22 > 0:21:23this buying race is done.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30Our trusty traders started out with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:21:30 > 0:21:35Mark "The Maverick" Stacey goes home having done four deals today,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38that cost him just £70.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Mark Franksy Franks was the early leader and true to form,
0:21:42 > 0:21:45he ends up with an eclectic mix of six items,
0:21:45 > 0:21:47having spent a total of £130.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53But, it's all about who will make the most profit.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Have you got any money left, old boy?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I've got lots of money left, and it doesn't look like you've spent much.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- You've got one record in your hand. - I bought this little Richard single and I was hoping,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04because you're considerably older than me,
0:22:04 > 0:22:07you might be able to tell me what year it's from.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09The insults are coming in. I thought you'd know that, Mark.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12- What's the plate?- Actually, I can't believe it, it's Doulton.
0:22:12 > 0:22:18- It's signed. Lovely little subject, for a fiver.- Oh, sorry.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22- There's a profit there though, Mark. - But that is nice, I've got to be honest. What's that?
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I actually like this. I don't know. I've got a lot of research to do.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29- I bought it because it's got an Agnew's label on the back. - I like that.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- I like that a lot. Tell you what I really like.- What's that?- That.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36- Oh, no! Oh, you rotter! - CACKLES
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I'm going to go down to your home town and if there's any dealers
0:22:40 > 0:22:43you don't like, I'm going to find them and sell it to them.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47You do this to try and unnerve me. But it won't work, Mr Franks.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50# A-Wop-bop-a-loo-lop A-lop-bam-boo! #
0:22:52 > 0:22:57Franksy and his Maverick rival must now swap their jockey's hats
0:22:57 > 0:23:02for thinking caps, because this is where the going gets really tough.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07Buying the booty was just the beginning of today's bonanza.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10Now it's time to sort the dealers from the deadbeats,
0:23:10 > 0:23:16as the two Marks compete to turn top dollar on their car-boot curios in a deadly duel for today's crown.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Sitting pretty on the south coast,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27Mark "The Maverick" Stacey is plotting over his prize purchasers.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32I did manage, I think, is to find one or two little gems.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36The Doulton plate, hand-painted by an artist called A Dicks.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40It was only a fiver - I mean, it's got to be a profit.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43And then my range of pictures, and I keep looking at these
0:23:43 > 0:23:46and thinking, "Why, oh why did I buy these?"
0:23:46 > 0:23:49The key to the success is this watercolour by Leslie Worth.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54It's the thing that might wipe the smug smile off Mark Franks's face.
0:23:54 > 0:23:58But as you know, in this business, what something is worth
0:23:58 > 0:24:02and what you get for it are two very different things.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Yes, wise words from the Maverick, who knows that no deal
0:24:05 > 0:24:08is cut and dried until that final handshake.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Up in the big smoke, Franksy is getting fired up.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Now, the car boot sale was a lot more difficult than I expected.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20The weather forecast was bad, so less dealers actually turned up.
0:24:20 > 0:24:25But what I did buy, I'm really pleased with. Let me show you this.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Souvenir from Brighton - what a smashing little image.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31Also, Little Richard. What a great little single.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I don't remember these, I'm far too young.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36It's from the '50s, and I think that's got a good chance.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Now, the wetsuits and the boat.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Tenner each - there's definitely got to be a profit.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46But my favourite item by far is that chair. That is a cracking piece.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Basically, I see money, money, money.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Mark Stacey, you should be very worried.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55Fighting talk from our London lad.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59But now, it's time to turn all that talk into antique-selling action.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03The Maverick is first into the fray,
0:25:03 > 0:25:08aiming for a potential sale of the enamel dishes he bought for just £5.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12He's invited collector and part-time dealer, Paula,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14round to his Brighton HQ.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18- I'm fine, thank you. How are you? - Fantastic. I want to show you these.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20They're rather sweet, aren't they?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24They scream 50s, don't they?
0:25:24 > 0:25:26I think they're really good quality,
0:25:26 > 0:25:29- looking at the detail of the enamelling.- They're lovely actually.
0:25:29 > 0:25:31- And it looks like they're signed. - They are.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35- I only get quality Paula. - What were you thinking?
0:25:35 > 0:25:38I was thinking something like 15, the pair.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40What about 10?
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- You think you could go to 12? - OK, we'll go to 12.- Are you sure?
0:25:45 > 0:25:48- Yeah. That's fine.- They're your sort of thing. You like this sort of stuff, don't you?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51The Maverick's dished up a £7 profit on the dishes
0:25:51 > 0:25:54but stop the press, he's not done yet.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57I also want to show you this.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- Something completely different, Paula.- That's rather nice, isn't it?
0:26:01 > 0:26:07- It's a great English name, Doulton. - The mark is 1902-1932.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11The Doulton plate cost the Maverick £5 at the boot fair.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13I was thinking if I was going to put that into my shop
0:26:13 > 0:26:18then I'd easily put between £30 and £40.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20- I'm not saying I'd get that.- No.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26So for me you would do that between 15 and 20, wouldn't you?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30For you, I'd be happy to let you have it for 15.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33- I'll agree to 15 then, that's fine.- Fantastic.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36- That will look nice on my dresser. - I think that's perfect.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Thank you very much, Paula. - Thank you, Mark.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42The plate serves up a pretty profit of £10.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I think we're cooking on gas, don't you?
0:26:47 > 0:26:51It's the first two sales to the Brighton boy and he's only just getting started.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56He's taking the silver brooch he bought for £10 to his local cafe
0:26:56 > 0:26:58to show it to his friend, William.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00WILLIAM GASPS
0:27:00 > 0:27:04- Oh my goodness, that's beautiful, isn't it?- I'll do it for 18.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- 18 it is.- And the Maverick pins down an £8 profit on the brooch.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15The Duke of all things decorative is off to an almighty start.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17But what of our white hot wheeler-dealer?
0:27:17 > 0:27:23Franksy is hoping to open by selling the inflatable dinghy
0:27:23 > 0:27:27which cost him £10 and he's come to Tadworth to try and do it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29- Hello, ladies.- Good morning.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34But what on earth is he doing here, at Kelly and Josie's grooming parlour for doggies?
0:27:34 > 0:27:39- What's this one called?- Princess Tallulah.- Obviously! And this one?
0:27:39 > 0:27:42This is Elwood. He's our meeter and greeter, he's a Boston terrier.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Nice to meet you, old boy. So is this what you do here?
0:27:45 > 0:27:51- You spoil doggies? - Beautify animals, yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54The thing you haven't got here is a swimming pool facility.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57We don't have that facility at the moment, no.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00- Well, I brought this big dinghy. Let me show you.- OK.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03It needs a clean but that's not a big deal.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07If you blew it up and put water in the middle of it,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09they can have a little paddle.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13- They could do.- In their bikinis. - Bikinis?- We do bikinis.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17- We like a bikini, don't we, yes? - How would 80 quid grab you?- Oh!
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- I would have thought 40. - I would.- Let's halve it.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- Can we do better than 40, 40 is a bit mean?- It is.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- And we're not mean in here. - 70 quid!
0:28:30 > 0:28:36As a special deal I will do you £60 but an extra £5 if you walk
0:28:36 > 0:28:41my beautiful Chihuahua around the village. Deal?
0:28:41 > 0:28:44OK, deal. Thank you.
0:28:44 > 0:28:50Franksy's just sailed away with a whopping £55 profit on the dinghy
0:28:50 > 0:28:53but his work here isn't done yet.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54No number twos!
0:28:54 > 0:28:59If there is, they're going straight back. Come on, ladies and gents.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03# Walk like a man Fast as I can
0:29:03 > 0:29:08# Walk like a man from you...#
0:29:08 > 0:29:11This is doing my street cred no good at all!
0:29:14 > 0:29:16Well, he might not be Barbara Woodhouse
0:29:16 > 0:29:19but that's a cracking opener from Franksy,
0:29:19 > 0:29:23instantly smashing the Maverick's lead.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28But Mr Stacey is taking the tapestry, which cost him just £5,
0:29:28 > 0:29:33to a needlework and wool shop in Brighton to meet owner, Deborah.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36This struck me as something that was made about 40 years ago, or so.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39I bought it as a part of a consignment.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42You've seen it in the flesh, what appeals to you about it?
0:29:42 > 0:29:46I love the colours, the flowers, I just thought it was very pretty.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49It would be something my mother would love.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51- So you're buying it for a present? - Yes.- Right.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54I was hoping to get around 30 to £40 for it.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Now you've seen it in the flesh,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58is it something you'd be interested in?
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Yes, it's in very good condition.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I was thinking of offering you about 35.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Yes, well, I'm delighted with £35. So thank you very much.
0:30:06 > 0:30:09Mark stitches up a swift £30 profit.
0:30:09 > 0:30:13But it looks like this little victory is going to be short-lived
0:30:13 > 0:30:16because his worst nightmare could be about to come true.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19An enemy Franksy has landed!
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Here I am in Brighton.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Mark Stacey antiques and he's not here! Where is he?
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Is he making money? I can't stop and talk, I must go!
0:30:30 > 0:30:32Ooh, the audacity!
0:30:32 > 0:30:35Our London lad's trying to beat the Maverick on his home turf.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37He's heading to a boutique hotel to meet owner, Mick.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39# Hoots man!
0:30:39 > 0:30:42# There's a moose loose about this hoose. #
0:30:42 > 0:30:44And he's hoping to sell him the Brighton souvenir
0:30:44 > 0:30:46he snapped up for just £10.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I just had a quick look round the hallway and I spotted a gap, there's a space.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- What about that?- Brilliant. That's lovely.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59- When's that from?- It's about 1950s, it would be a souvenir thing,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02the picture is earlier, that's a picture of the bathing huts
0:31:02 > 0:31:03which they dragged down to the beach
0:31:03 > 0:31:05because the ladies didn't want to be seen.
0:31:05 > 0:31:11- Yeah, it would fit here, definitely. - Is it worth 100 quid to you?
0:31:11 > 0:31:12I was expecting it to be bigger.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16You need magnifying glasses on it, it would look bigger!
0:31:16 > 0:31:19I'd like to have started at the 50 end.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21Can I push you on a bit more and try you for 60?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- 55? Would you go for that? - Go on, then.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Deal.- Lovely.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Franksy's used all his persuasive powers
0:31:30 > 0:31:32to pull off a whopping £45 profit.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Portion of chips on the beach? Don't mind if I do!
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Yes, he does fly close to the edge, that Franksy.
0:31:39 > 0:31:44Anyway, it's time to find out how our antiques adventurers are faring.
0:31:44 > 0:31:48Mark "The Maverick" Stacey has so far sold four items,
0:31:48 > 0:31:52making a healthy profit of £55.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56Mark "Franksy" Franks has sealed just two deals
0:31:56 > 0:31:59but he's turned a bigger profit of £100.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03After a great start, Mark Stacey is now behind his rival
0:32:03 > 0:32:05in the selling stakes.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10But ever the tactician, he's got a secret weapon up his sleeve.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14You know I got very excited about this
0:32:14 > 0:32:18when I bought it at the car boot sale and I contacted Agnew's
0:32:18 > 0:32:22in London and they very kindly got back to me quite quickly
0:32:22 > 0:32:26and said, yes, this was sold at an exhibition
0:32:26 > 0:32:28of Leslie Worth's work in 1967.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32This could potentially give me a very good profit.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Well, crack on then, Mr S,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39because right now it's Franksy who's out in front
0:32:39 > 0:32:45and he's doing the Hot Shoe Shuffle round his next potential sale in west London.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49Here we are, Portobello Road in the place to be.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52I've got a mate who's got a record stall down here
0:32:52 > 0:32:55and his knowledge is second to none.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I'm going to try and sell him this Little Richard record
0:32:58 > 0:33:02I bought at the car-boot sale. Come and see how I get on.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04The record cost Franksy £5.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08So can he sell it to dealer, Darren, for a price that's music to his ears?
0:33:08 > 0:33:14- Darren. How you doing, mate?- Good to see you. What you got for me?
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- # Tutti-frutti, oh rutti... # - At least it's a lovely cover.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- The first issue, 1071. - Just what I thought.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26I was looking on the back here and down the bottom it says HD57/5.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29- Does that mean 1957? - It does mean 1957.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31It was released in May
0:33:31 > 0:33:35but the first issue of this was released a month earlier.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39You've got a mauve cover where Little Richard is in mauve, not red.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44The label itself was issued as a gold label, not a silver label.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46So it's still really collectible
0:33:46 > 0:33:49and collectors are buying the golds and the silvers.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51And with the condition as well, it's a very nice item.
0:33:51 > 0:33:55It is a great record. Would you be interested in buying it?
0:33:55 > 0:33:57I'd always be interested in buying it.
0:33:57 > 0:34:01- We could really only offer in the business about £25.- £25.
0:34:01 > 0:34:05What about 30 and I will buy you a coffee? Or tea.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- We'll agree on 30 and you can buy me a cup of tea!- You're a star!
0:34:09 > 0:34:10The tea costs Mark £1.50,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14but he still makes a profit on the record of £23.50!
0:34:16 > 0:34:21No wonder he's jumping for joy! Or is that supposed to be dancing?!
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Good grief!
0:34:25 > 0:34:28Down South, the Maverick is bringing out the big guns
0:34:28 > 0:34:30in his bid to annihilate Mr Franks.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33He's armed himself with a Leslie Worth watercolour.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39I've brought my quality picture to a quality area
0:34:39 > 0:34:41just outside Brighton to Michelle and Ian.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I've actually shown them this item.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46They've had a little time to consider it, they've rung me
0:34:46 > 0:34:48and said they are interested in buying it,
0:34:48 > 0:34:50will I get the full potential?
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Let's hope so. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56The painting cost the Maverick a mere £20.
0:34:56 > 0:34:59From the very beginning he's believed in its pedigree
0:34:59 > 0:35:02but will his friend Michelle agree with him?
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I have to say, the reason I bought it,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I'd never heard of the artist at all, Leslie Worth.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10The thing that really struck me was this label.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13In terms of antiques and art dealing,
0:35:13 > 0:35:15this firm are right up there.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17I did some research on the artist, as well,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21and found out it's a post-war artist and quite collectable.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24But his work is very, I suppose, abstract.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27It has got that sort of look of Turner about it.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29It'll go beautifully in our bedroom, actually,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33we've got a grey shade of wall, so it would look really lovely there.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- I'm getting the feeling you quite like it.- I do like it.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I said to you roughly that I was looking for
0:35:40 > 0:35:42between £200 and £300 for it.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44What's that in your budget?
0:35:44 > 0:35:47I'm veering more towards the 200.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50I think a fair compromise would be around 250.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- I'm happy to compromise on 250. - Are you sure?
0:35:54 > 0:35:57I think Arthur's happy to compromise at 250.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Do you like this picture, Arthur?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01I'm quite pleased he's happy to compromise,
0:36:01 > 0:36:04cos I don't want to get on the wrong side of him.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Mark's faith in the painting is vindicated.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Come on, show us where it's going to go, Arthur.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14A profit of £230 is more than ten times the price he paid for it.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16What a comeback!
0:36:16 > 0:36:20Well, you know what they say, the sun always shines on the righteous
0:36:20 > 0:36:24and this is a righteous profit for that picture, Mark Franks.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Loadsamoney!
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Yes, that one magnificent deal puts the Maverick way out in front,
0:36:31 > 0:36:33and with the clock ticking old Franksy needs to pull
0:36:33 > 0:36:36something pretty spectacular out of the bag.
0:36:39 > 0:36:43He's in Surrey hoping that fellow dealer Gavin
0:36:43 > 0:36:46will like the look of the Cabinet he bought for £30.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49There you are, Gav. What a wonderful, wonderful item.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Yeah, it's very nice.
0:36:51 > 0:36:55And all the leadwork's good, which is nice, because if that's damaged...
0:36:55 > 0:36:58It's too expensive to get it replaced now.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01- Each one of those would be about £30.- Wow, can you imagine?
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I'd like to pay you £70 for it.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Would you go any further?
0:37:07 > 0:37:0975.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13That means "75, Mark, not 80," am I right?
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Not 80, definitely!
0:37:14 > 0:37:17I know you too well. Top man, sold.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Yes, Franksy knows that a £45 profit is not to be sniffed at.
0:37:22 > 0:37:27Well, as my dear old father used to say, "A profit's a profit, boy."
0:37:27 > 0:37:29And that was a profit - not the best profit and the world,
0:37:29 > 0:37:33I'm not going to get rich, but Gavin's a man who says a price
0:37:33 > 0:37:35and you don't often get him to move.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38He knows what it's worth, he knows what he's going to get for it.
0:37:38 > 0:37:42Everyone's a winner, it's now night time, I'm going to bed, good night.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45This is turning into a real tussle.
0:37:45 > 0:37:49The Maverick is desperate to sell his last two remaining pictures
0:37:49 > 0:37:52and he's come to the Hungerford Antiques Arcade in Berkshire
0:37:52 > 0:37:56to see if he can get any interest from dealer Pauline.
0:37:56 > 0:38:02Can I try and flog these to you at a bargain basement price?
0:38:02 > 0:38:05I'll even get my secret book out.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I paid 15 and 10.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11Now, can I possibly make a pound or two profit on those from you?
0:38:11 > 0:38:16I'm desperate, I need to sell them, I need to sell them today!
0:38:16 > 0:38:17So what are you looking for?
0:38:17 > 0:38:23I'd like to make £3 on them. £28 for the two.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- I'll give you 28 for them. - 28, you've got a deal.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28It's a modest £3 profit,
0:38:28 > 0:38:31but at least Mark has sold them within the selling deadline.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34It's done! Everything is sold!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40The Maverick thinks it's all over,
0:38:40 > 0:38:43but Franksy can't rest on his laurels just yet -
0:38:43 > 0:38:47he's still got two purchases left to sell.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Do you remember the wetsuits I bought at the car boot sale?
0:38:49 > 0:38:53I paid a tenner for the whole lot. I've tried selling them everywhere.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56I've gone down the Thames, I've been on the phone to the south coast,
0:38:56 > 0:39:00I've tried ski schools, dive clubs, canoeing clubs,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02I've tried everyone.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Do you know what? I can't sell them, but I know a woman who can -
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Christine is the top auctioneer in this area
0:39:08 > 0:39:10and she doesn't stand for any messing around,
0:39:10 > 0:39:13so, let's go and see how she gets on.
0:39:13 > 0:39:17For a man who likes to do his deals face-to-face, it's an unusual tactic,
0:39:17 > 0:39:23but at this late stage he's got to get any profit he can.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- Lot 130...- They look nice.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Five full body wetsuits.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31£30? back of the room at 30.
0:39:32 > 0:39:3532, 34, 36...
0:39:36 > 0:39:39..38, 40...
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Are you all done for the wetsuits at £40?
0:39:42 > 0:39:43HAMMER
0:39:43 > 0:39:47I should have come here first.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52Against the odds, Franksy has swum away with a £21.84 profit
0:39:52 > 0:39:56after auction fees, and that just leaves his spider web chair.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01At £65, the chair was Franksy's most expensive purchase,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05and his plan was to have it restored before selling it on for maximum profit.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09He's come to seek antique upholsterer John
0:40:09 > 0:40:13to see what he can do, but time is ticking away.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15There's more work than I thought.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18The back is broken, so there is quite a bit of work,
0:40:18 > 0:40:21once I've done that I have to re-upholster it and re-cover it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Time's running out, John, can you do a night shift for me or something?
0:40:24 > 0:40:26I don't think so, mate, unfortunately.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29- No?- No, I haven't got time to do this now for you.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33Oh, that's crushing news, but Franksy is not beaten yet.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35If you haven't got the chance to do it,
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I'm not going to be able to sell it, is it something you'd buy?
0:40:38 > 0:40:42- Cos I'm in a bit of trouble here now. - I'll make you an offer for £70, mate.
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Mmm, that's just five £5 than he paid for it.
0:40:46 > 0:40:47Can you go a little bit more?
0:40:47 > 0:40:50only a tenner, mate, £80 would be my maximum.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54£80, and if you make a fortune you take me out and buy me a pint.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Will do, mate.- Deal. Thanks, John.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Our London lad seals the deal on the chair for £15 profit.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04It may not have been the big restoration project he was aiming for,
0:41:04 > 0:41:08but Mark Franks is all sold up and just in the nick of time.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Today's challenge is now over,
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and with all the purchased pieces having found new homes,
0:41:16 > 0:41:21we'll soon find out which of our dealers is to be crowned king of the car boot.
0:41:23 > 0:41:29Both our boys started this contest with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32The Maverick did four deals for just £70.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38While Franksy spent almost double - £130 on six purchases.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Now the only thing that matters is who has made the most profit.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47All the money the two Marks have made today will go
0:41:47 > 0:41:51to the charities of their choice, so let's find out who is today's
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57Ah, Mr Stacey, welcome to my humble abode.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Oh, Mark number two, you're ever the wit, aren't you? Ever the wit.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02The car boot sale, how did you get on?
0:42:02 > 0:42:06I tell you what, it wasn't that easy but it was good fun.
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Remember the rubber dinghy?- Yes.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11I sold it to a lovely lady, and she has a dog grooming parlour,
0:42:11 > 0:42:15for the dogs to paddle around in and keep cool in the summer.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- Mad.- How did you get on?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Well, you know that lovely Leslie Worth watercolour?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22That was lovely, you must have made a fortune.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24I did very well on that, shall we find out?
0:42:24 > 0:42:27Let's have a look. On the count of three - one, two, three...
0:42:27 > 0:42:31- Oh, you beat me!- Oh-ho-ho! Mark, very close, well done.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33No, you've wiped the floor with me.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Well, I'm amazed you made that much on the rubbish you bought.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- I resemble that remark! - You do, let's get into the warm.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44At the car boot sale I bought some interesting and wacky items,
0:42:44 > 0:42:46and Mark Stacey just beat me.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Not by a lot, but my parents taught me good manners,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52and they always said, "Age before beauty."
0:42:52 > 0:42:54That's why I let Mark Stacey win.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Oh-ho-ho-ho!
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Well, that car boot sale turned out all right, didn't it?
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I thought Mark had bought better items than me,
0:43:01 > 0:43:06but that painting, I'm afraid, it sealed his fate.
0:43:06 > 0:43:11Tomorrow, Franksy has a chance to fight back against the Maverick...
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Now this is my cup of tea.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17..as our boys battle it out at an antiques fair.
