0:00:40 > 0:00:43Today, the strong-armed auctioneer James Lewis takes
0:00:43 > 0:00:48aim against Mark Franks, the wiliest wheeler-dealer around.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Coming up, Mark enjoys a return to childhood...
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Whoa! Wo-ho! Wo-ho!
0:00:55 > 0:00:58..James proves you should never chuck anything away...
0:00:58 > 0:01:03I bet all of the schools up and down Britain are going, "No!
0:01:03 > 0:01:05"We threw them in the skip!"
0:01:05 > 0:01:10And we're shown the art of charm when it comes to sealing a deal...
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Because I love you! - And I love you too.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- Your Majesty!- Thou art welcome, Master James.
0:01:16 > 0:01:1850 and a hot chocolate?
0:01:18 > 0:01:20- Yeah, go on then.- Yeah? Deal. - Thank you.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Seat belts on. It's time to buckle up
0:01:39 > 0:01:42for one of the biggest battles ever witnessed on television.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Two finely honed antiques athletes are limbering up to enter
0:01:46 > 0:01:49the stadium and demonstrate their prowess.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52First up, a man with a fierce focus
0:01:52 > 0:01:54calmly preparing for the race of his life.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59His stamina knows no bounds and his thirst for glory is never-ending.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04It's the fighter in the flat cap, James "The Lionheart" Lewis.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07If I wear those around my neck, that'll keep them away.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09But this is no walk in the park.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13His challenger is a muscleman known as a master tactician.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15He consistently fires on all cylinders with
0:02:15 > 0:02:17an irrepressible love of life.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21It's the dynamo in the duffle coat, Mark "Franksy" Franks.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27I can't be like James Lewis wandering around. I've got to get on.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Our two crowd-pleasers are showing off their skills at the Antiques and Home Show
0:02:31 > 0:02:35at the Lincolnshire Showground and it's a mammoth event.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39No less than 2,000 stalls, which means they need raw strength
0:02:39 > 0:02:42and winning wits if they're to leave with a gold medal.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46Our bargain busters have each got £750 of their own money to
0:02:46 > 0:02:50spend and all their profits will go to their chosen charities.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, James Lewis and Mark Franks,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56it's time to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Hello, James. How you doing? - Morning, mate.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Cor, it's a bit chilly, isn't it?- It is.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04- I've got my thermals on, as ever. - Have you got your passport?
0:03:04 > 0:03:06I've got my passport. When I got to Watford, I showed it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- And I've got 750 sterling to spend. Woo-hoo!- Same as me.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- But I've got an advantage this time. - Go on.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- This is my favourite fair in England. I love this place.- Oh, no!
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Lots of locals as well. I feel at home.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22Hello, James. Oh, hello, mate. Yes, this is all I need, isn't it?
0:03:22 > 0:03:26I want to buy lots and lots and lots of gear today.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- I want to buy as much as possible. - # It's not unusual to be loved... #
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Cor, that's not unusual, is it?
0:03:32 > 0:03:37- How about you?- Small, small, small, small, small.- Five things.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40Yes, it might sound like jokey banter,
0:03:40 > 0:03:44but these two super-sportsmen are deadly serious, and as they
0:03:44 > 0:03:48wait for the starting pistol, their minds are racing through strategies.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51People often say there's masses of choice,
0:03:51 > 0:03:53it's much easier to buy when there's a lot of things.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55In a way, it's a lot harder.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's just getting your mind round the total variety.
0:03:58 > 0:04:04It's a long-distance event today and if anyone has marathon endurance, it's our Lionheart.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06But Mark is bursting with energy as well,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10in fact he's so confident, he's set himself an added challenge.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14If you've not seen it before, I'm going to buy it.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16I'm not buying anything you've seen ever before.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18I'm going to buy weird, wonderful things,
0:04:18 > 0:04:20because I'm going to beat James Lewis.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Yes, Mark Franks, a dealer who cannot be daunted, but his brimming
0:04:24 > 0:04:29over-confidence could trip him up and see him fall flat on his face.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Anyway, the gun fires and our Supermen are off.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35They dig, they trawl, they scour, and rummage,
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and Franksy's the first to strike when he spies a fairground mirror,
0:04:38 > 0:04:43charming the stallholder in his own individual way.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49- Do you want to go out for a drink tonight?- No, I'm too tired. - Worth a try.
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Worth a try, weren't it?
0:04:50 > 0:04:56This is part of a showman's...like, traveller's fairground ride,
0:04:56 > 0:04:59or it could have been a barrow, and what they've done is
0:04:59 > 0:05:03they've got four bits of timber and they've planted little
0:05:03 > 0:05:08bits across the joints to hide the joints. What's the best on that?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- The best on the mirror is 130. - I'm going to offer you £100.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I can't go a penny more. There's me hand. There's me heart. Deal?
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Deal.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20She used to have a stone in that ring. I just bit it out!
0:05:20 > 0:05:25So, Mark bounds off the starting line. First purchase - sorted.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28The reason I bought this is it's completely different
0:05:28 > 0:05:30from anything I've seen, and that is my strategy today.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33James, you can go and buy all the boring bits that you always do.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37If I find a buyer for this, they won't be able to get another one.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Therefore I should be able to make a profit.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Well, we'll see about that, but James is right on Mark's tail.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47At exactly the same moment, he spots two sets of weights, one iron,
0:05:47 > 0:05:51the other brass, which date to the early part of the 20th century.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54How much are your weights?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- I'm doing them for 12 quid to you.- 12 quid.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- Will you take eight quid for them? - Tenner.- Got a deal. £10.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04At this early stage, our boys are running neck-and-neck.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06But James is clearly feeling vulnerable.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09He's even considering some body armour.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- How much is it?- 60 quid.
0:06:12 > 0:06:18- Is 40 quid any good to you?- 55. - 45 and you've got a deal.- 50 quid.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22- Go on, make it 45. - Go on, make it 50.- I'll take it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:2450 quid.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Ooh! He relented.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28The usually hard-haggling James doesn't even get a penny off
0:06:28 > 0:06:33but despite that bruising encounter he's feeling philosophical.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It's a complete and utter fake.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39And it's just a bit of fun, but find somebody with a great,
0:06:39 > 0:06:44big medieval-style house that needs it furnishing fairly cheaply -
0:06:44 > 0:06:4750 quid isn't a lot of money.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51So the Lionheart roars into the lead leaving Franksy on the back foot,
0:06:51 > 0:06:55but Mark soon finds something to tickle his fancy.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57It just... It just sort of looks like James, doesn't it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:01He's all sort of hairy. Makes you think of James.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05Ooh, he's getting personal. He must be feeling the pressure.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08But the Lionheart is going from strength to strength.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11At one stall, a couple of items catch his eye.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15Ooh, a large green aircraft fuel tank, and a motorcycle sign.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- £85.- Oh, it's not?- It is.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's only made of fibreglass.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Yes, but it's antique fibreglass!
0:07:22 > 0:07:23JAMES LAUGHS
0:07:23 > 0:07:27- What could it be?- It's got to be 85. - Oh, has it?- Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30What would be your best on that?
0:07:30 > 0:07:33We'll do the two for an offer of 205.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36I'll give you 150 quid, the two.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40160.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43No? Aw, it's...
0:07:43 > 0:07:45It's too much.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47James walks away from the deal,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50but he can't go far without having one last go.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55Go on, you've got to do it. Move a bit. 180, and I'll take them.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Go on, put your money where your mouth is, then!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59JAMES LAUGHS
0:07:59 > 0:08:04- Oh, you're a hard man!- Cheers. - What on earth...? What...!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08James, you'll make a bomb out of that.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10Yes, it certainly looks explosive.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12This may be James's favourite fair,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14but the stallholders are flexing their muscles
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and our long-distance runner is finding it hard to overpower them.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22That has to be one of the weirdest deals I have ever done.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24I think I'm losing it.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Well, he's miles ahead of his contender with four items to Franksy's one.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30But Mark has found something familiar.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Remember that mirror that was different to anything else you'd seen?
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Well, he's just found another one.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38How much is that as it is?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- That?- Yes, go on.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42- 120.- Oooooooooh!
0:08:42 > 0:08:47I just bought one with the glass, more or less identical,
0:08:47 > 0:08:51for 80 quid from the bloke over there. Excuse me, am I telling the truth?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53On my budgie's life, I swear!
0:08:53 > 0:08:56£80? Well, let's just remind ourselves.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58I'm going to offer you £100. I can't go a penny more.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01- There's my hand, there's my heart - deal?- Deal.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Yes, let's put that down to memory loss.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I'd give you 60, cash pound notes, take it away.- 70.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11- I'll toss a coin 60-70, if you've got a coin?- I don't do coins.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15- We'll arm-wrestle for it. 60-70. - Easy.- Deal?- Yeah.- Love it!
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The deal is, when he beats me with my bad shoulder...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- I must be mad doing this! - My God.- This is true.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24When he beats me, I give him 70 quid.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26If I beat him, I give him 60 quid. Go!
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- Come on! - I've got such a bad shoulder!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34So the strong-arm approach sees forgetful Franksy
0:09:34 > 0:09:37get his comeuppance and he pays £70.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40But Mark's not finished with this stall yet as he spots
0:09:40 > 0:09:44a collection of artworks made from pieces of classic board games.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48So what he's got is an old Monopoly game.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52He's put it in a frame. He's turned rubbish into art.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54Give us a price on them three. A nice friendly price.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57You can't afford another arm wrestle, so let's say 40 quid.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- I can't, honestly. I can't. - 40 quid. And get out of me hair..
0:10:00 > 0:10:02HE LAUGHS
0:10:02 > 0:10:06I can have a cuddle. £40 quid. You're a good man.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Irrepressible Franksy takes another chance,
0:10:08 > 0:10:11and gets a purchase for his community chest.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12But when it comes to making a profit,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16will he land on Mayfair or the Old Kent Road?
0:10:16 > 0:10:20Across the fair James's buying momentum remaining unstoppable.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23He's interested in a pair of candle holders with glass lustres,
0:10:23 > 0:10:26priced up at £180.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30But he's noticed that at some point they've been drilled through.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32The stallholder is only available on the phone.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36I was offering 135, and that gives me a chance.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38Stop being so tight!
0:10:38 > 0:10:43I'm trying. OK.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It's just, because the lustres are broken...
0:10:47 > 0:10:50..and they're not the right lustres,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53£140 and you've got a deal. That's it.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58That's a discount of more than 20%, so what exactly has he bought?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Really pleased with these.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05They're a pair of post-Regency, or just slightly after 1830,
0:11:05 > 0:11:07candle lustres.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10The idea is that they would have gone on the mantelpiece
0:11:10 > 0:11:13of a really smart town house.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15They're cast in bronze,
0:11:15 > 0:11:20and they're known as lustres because of these glass-faceted droppers,
0:11:20 > 0:11:23that are suspended from these stylised stiff leaves.
0:11:23 > 0:11:28For £140, even with drilling, they're still cheap.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31As James races off to hunt down his next formidable find,
0:11:31 > 0:11:35let's catch up with those all-important numbers.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Both our veterans at the antiques track started the day
0:11:37 > 0:11:41with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Mark Franks has kept a steady pace, spending £210 on three purchases,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48leaving him with £540,
0:11:48 > 0:11:53while James Lewis has sprinted to five items for £380,
0:11:53 > 0:11:56meaning he has £370 left to spend.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00So, at this stage Mark has an uphill struggle ahead,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03but as our bargain busters break for a breather,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Mr Franks appears relaxed, and in fine fettle.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Oh, yeah. Ideas above your station, have you?
0:12:10 > 0:12:12Well, the way I see it is, if I'm the king of the castle,
0:12:12 > 0:12:14you are the dirty old rascal.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Oh, no. No. You've got it the wrong way round.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18- How you done? - Getting there. Not bought much.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- No.- How about you?
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I don't believe you. What have you bought?
0:12:22 > 0:12:24You really want to know?
0:12:24 > 0:12:26No, I don't want to know, actually. I want to carry on buying.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28See you later.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Oh, it's starting to get tetchy.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Our trading trackmongers stride out once again,
0:12:33 > 0:12:35and they're soon up to full pace.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38Franksy's chasing, but the man's unflappable.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41That's nice, I just don't think I've got enough dough.
0:12:44 > 0:12:45Yes, very amusing.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49Now get down to it, because James has already found his rhythm again.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53He's spied a censer from the Far East.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Would you take a fiver for that? It's got a tenner on it.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- Yes, that's all right.- You will? Thank you.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03Well, it's not a lot of money, but there's a profit in it,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04and that's what counts.
0:13:04 > 0:13:10This is a little 19th-century, probably Chinese, censer.
0:13:10 > 0:13:11It's made from bronze.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14We've got a temple lion or Dog of Fo on the cover,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18and the idea is they fill that with a bit of sand,
0:13:18 > 0:13:22they put little incense sticks in there, put the cover on it,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25and the smell comes out of the four pierced holes in the cover.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29So James powers on, and leaves Franksy further adrift
0:13:29 > 0:13:33when he picks up more armour - a breastplate - for £50.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38It's not genuine 17th-century steel, it's 20th-century,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40but at least it's handmade.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43If this was real 17th-century cavalry armour,
0:13:43 > 0:13:44we'd be looking at £1,000
0:13:44 > 0:13:49but for £50, together with my helmet that also cost 50,
0:13:49 > 0:13:54it should, in theory, make a decent sale, and hopefully a decent profit.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57James has got himself well defended, but he should watch out,
0:13:57 > 0:13:59because Franksy's just secured a deal.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02He's agreed £250 for a signal lamp.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06So tell me about what I've just bought.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09OK, probably about 1940s. It's been totally renovated.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Sorry, explain for people who don't understand what a signal lamp is.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14Signal lamp, Morse code.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18Morse code, basically not used nowadays.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22So it's been converted to take standard light bulbs.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Yeah, and this bit is?
0:14:23 > 0:14:28That is to sight your ship in the distance.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Yeah, angle for your signalling.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Basically, there's the button.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35This doesn't work now, because it's been converted.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37You've been a gentleman with the price.
0:14:37 > 0:14:44Now, the big question is, will I be firing SOS or win, win, win?
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Time will tell.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47Indeed it will, Mark!
0:14:47 > 0:14:48And a little bonus -
0:14:48 > 0:14:53the seller had the electrics tested and has the certificate to prove it,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55so that's one less job for Franksy.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Both our antiques athletes are quickening their pace.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01James continues to stalk the stalls,
0:15:01 > 0:15:03but Mark's confidence is driving him on.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Not long ago, it looked like the writing was on the wall for Franksy,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08but now it's on the table,
0:15:08 > 0:15:09the bench
0:15:09 > 0:15:10and the floor.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Cool, man, cool.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16He buys a whole load of letters.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20I've tried to work out every potential, possible person that
0:15:20 > 0:15:24might want to buy something, and I've got lots of little things here.
0:15:24 > 0:15:25Helen. I know a few Helens.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27Shop. Lots of people have shops.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Tea room. The Sun pub.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31I think this is hot property.
0:15:32 > 0:15:36125 the lot.
0:15:36 > 0:15:41That's a fair wedge of Mark's money, so will his purchase spell success?
0:15:41 > 0:15:45James is stuck on seven items, but our ace auctioneer is a spender,
0:15:45 > 0:15:49and with £300 of remaining budget burning a hole in his pocket,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52he's putting in the legwork.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55But Franksy's fast catching up with powerhouse Lewis,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58and for some extra acceleration, our cheeky chappie's found
0:15:58 > 0:16:01an ingenious way of getting around.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop, stop!
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Thank you, driver.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09Takes you back, doesn't it?
0:16:09 > 0:16:10To when I was 15.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Come on then, give me your worst price.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I will do you, the worst price, £10.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20£10. Have that tenner. Smashing. Thanks very much.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23You want to get ahead, get a skateboard.
0:16:23 > 0:16:24Yes, always a child at heart.
0:16:24 > 0:16:28Our skater boy can't resist burning some rubber.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32# He was a skater boy She said see you later, boy
0:16:32 > 0:16:35# He wasn't good enough for her
0:16:35 > 0:16:38# He was a skater boy She said see you later, boy. #
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Whoa! Whoa!
0:16:41 > 0:16:42I ain't lost it!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Yeah, whatever you say, Franksy!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47And James's inner athlete is coming out as well.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49He's spotted a vaulting horse.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52£450 for one of these.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57I bet all of the schools up and down Britain are going "No!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00"We threw them in the skip!"
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Well, look and learn, because- I- certainly am.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08£450 each. Gosh.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10No triple somersaults from Mr Lewis,
0:17:10 > 0:17:13just a gentle acceleration back onto the racetrack.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16Mark, however, is powering his way around the showground,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20but he slows for a pit stop when he spies a vintage petrol can.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23If I offer you a fiver, you're going to say no, aren't you?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26You can have it for eight.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- I'll toss you, five or ten. - OK then.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32Yeah? You got a coin?
0:17:32 > 0:17:33- Call.- Heads.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36He said heads, it's tails.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Sorry, mate.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Yes, the old coin toss trick works a treat.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Lovely brass top, BP.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47If that's missing, these aren't really worth very much at all.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49This is what makes it.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52As the stall holders begin to pack up for the day,
0:17:52 > 0:17:54the bell tolls for the last lap,
0:17:54 > 0:17:56and as they hit the final stretch,
0:17:56 > 0:18:00both our runners are chasing that one last item.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03I want to buy something fabulous. Something small.
0:18:03 > 0:18:05Something exquisite.
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Something that will make me a profit.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Yes. Still on the hunt, James races indoors
0:18:10 > 0:18:13to look at the more delicate items,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17but for HIS last purchase, it seems that Franksy has travelled
0:18:17 > 0:18:19to a far distant planet.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I said I wanted to buy unusual stuff that you can't buy just anywhere,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25and then I've gone and bought something really run-of-the-mill.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Take a look at these two.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30They're made of fibreglass.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Apparently they came from the Blackpool Illuminations.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36Goodness knows what I'm going to do with them.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40I've just laid out £150 from my hard-earned cash,
0:18:40 > 0:18:44but I think these are going to be an absolute winner.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Indoors, James's local connections have finally paid off.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50He's bumped into Robert, who he's bought from before,
0:18:50 > 0:18:53and the Lionheart is just in time.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Robert was about to leave, but he unpacks a case of rings.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59You've got some whoppers!
0:18:59 > 0:19:02That one you can have for 240.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05James chooses his three favourites, but he can't make up his mind,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09so he looks for ladies to help.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12# Diamonds are a girl's best friend. #
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I need advice. Which do you like?
0:19:16 > 0:19:17That one. OK. Thank you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Of those three rings, which would you like?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Mmm - that one.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24That one. Right, OK. Thank you.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Excuse me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28If you were buying a ring, which would you go for, of those three?
0:19:28 > 0:19:31Ummm... That one, I think.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Oh, no, that's one each!
0:19:33 > 0:19:34That's not helping me.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Right, the next one seals the deal.
0:19:39 > 0:19:40I know, where is she?
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- That one. - That one, thank you.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Brilliant. You've been a great help.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The first one James picked, the diamond crossover ring,
0:19:49 > 0:19:53is the winner, but it costs him almost a third of his budget.
0:19:53 > 0:19:58Well, at last, my final purchase of the day.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03I'm hoping the weary eyes and legs haven't led me to a bad decision.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06But I don't normally buy jewellery.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08But I just thought for a change, why not?
0:20:08 > 0:20:13So James's final push brings this buying battle to a close.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Our sprinters cross the finish line and while they go for
0:20:16 > 0:20:19a well-earned shakedown, it's time to tot up some numbers.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Our two medal winners both started the day with £750 of their own
0:20:23 > 0:20:25money spurring them on.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Mark "Franksy" Franks has collected eight purchases on his travels
0:20:28 > 0:20:31and spent every last penny of his budget.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36James "The Lionheart" Lewis has also racked up eight items,
0:20:36 > 0:20:38but spent less, £675.
0:20:38 > 0:20:42And so, our antiques chasers take a vantage point over the arena
0:20:42 > 0:20:44and compare their kit.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- I thought I'd bought some rubbish! - I do like that.- Do you?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50I didn't know it was for sale or I'd have bought it.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52Do you know what it is?
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Yes, it's a fuel tank for an aeroplane that mainly was
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- flown over Korea.- Somebody's told you that.- Yes.- How do you know that?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Well, you know.- Those heads, they are brilliant.- Aren't they?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- And they're as mad as that. - Yeah, yeah.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06- They would go together well. - They would.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I paid a lot of money for this,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11but I can't see anything expensive there at all.
0:21:11 > 0:21:13There was...somewhere
0:21:13 > 0:21:15a ring.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17There's one there, is that it?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19JAMES LAUGHS
0:21:19 > 0:21:20That was all right.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23I mean, I don't buy jewellery, it's not my thing really.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29No, and there's nothing wrong with buying cubic zirconia. I think it's a good way forward.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- What about this? What's going on here?- Try it.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- Now, hang on a minute. Make sure... Hang on.- Let's get me ears in!
0:21:36 > 0:21:41- Get your ears inside.- OK.- Are your ears in?- Just about. Gently!
0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Argh, that's my chin!- Go on!
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Oh!
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- What's this?- That's my...
0:21:50 > 0:21:52That's my chin!
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I can't even...
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- JAMES LAUGHS - See you.- Oh, thanks, James(!)
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Our awesome knights of all things antique may have set a mean
0:22:03 > 0:22:05pace during the buying,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09but that was just the first leg in this race for Put Your Money Gold.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12Now, as they return to their respective bases,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16both our battle-hardened hagglers have only two things on their minds,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19selling their items for as much money as possible
0:22:19 > 0:22:22and making sure that they're the one who finishes the day standing
0:22:22 > 0:22:24proud on the winner's podium.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Back at the Lionheart's lair,
0:22:26 > 0:22:29James reflects on his unusual antiques fair haul.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I've gone for the quirky and I've gone for the unusual.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Let's start with my wonderful armour.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37It isn't old, but it looks the part.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40And I've got just the person in mind.
0:22:40 > 0:22:45The weights at the front, well, I've already found somebody a set of scales in the past
0:22:45 > 0:22:48and I promised them I'd find them some weights to go with it.
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Of all of the things that I've found at the antiques fair, my cut-glass
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and bronze candle lustres are without question the most in demand.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Everybody loves them
0:22:56 > 0:23:02and the final two lots are my Korean War extended flight fuel tank that
0:23:02 > 0:23:04has been used as an antiques shop sign
0:23:04 > 0:23:09and my International Motorcycle Club Tour map.
0:23:09 > 0:23:14They're both bonkers, but they're both going to be great fun.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18James also needs to find buyers for the 19th-century Chinese censer
0:23:18 > 0:23:20and the gold diamond crossover ring.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24While the Lionheart appears to be the picture of confidence,
0:23:24 > 0:23:26down in his London lock-up,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30wheeler-dealer Franksy is less at ease, as he surveys his stash.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Right, what have we actually bought? A beautiful lamp. Isn't it nice?
0:23:33 > 0:23:36The letters? Not a problem, they'll sell themselves.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39These are pretty, recycling, love it!
0:23:39 > 0:23:43The heads? Mmm, anyway, let's just gloss over the heads.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45The petrol can, that should be great.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Now, I've got a couple of different colours that I'm going to spray it.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52I'm going to go for blue. A mate of mine's got a blue car.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56If I can spray that blue, they'll be very saleable.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59£750?
0:23:59 > 0:24:02The lad looks daunted. Mark will also need to sell the skateboard
0:24:02 > 0:24:04and the fairground mirrors.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Well, this looks set to be an almighty clash of differing styles,
0:24:08 > 0:24:12the ducking and diving of dealer Mark versus the knowledge
0:24:12 > 0:24:14and determination of auctioneer James.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17They'll both need to dig deep into their contacts books to
0:24:17 > 0:24:20secure the best buyers for the biggest profit.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Remember, until they've shaken on it
0:24:22 > 0:24:26and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29It's Mark who is first to get into his selling stride,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31as he dashes over to Battersea, south-west London,
0:24:31 > 0:24:35with some of the letters he paid a total of £125 for.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38He's hoping the personal touch will do the trick
0:24:38 > 0:24:42when he shows them to dealer and long-time friend Helen.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- They're lovely, Mark. Where are they from? Can I have a look?- Yeah, sure.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Oh, they're wood. No9, it's not wood. It's MDF-y stuff.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53- Is it?- They've got to be of age though. They're not brand-new.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56OK, darling. Well, as usual, how much?
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- Would £100 be wrong?- Yes!
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Is it too cheap?
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- So wrong!- Shucks!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08I was doing sums in my head. Can you get a tenner a letter?
0:25:08 > 0:25:12If you get a tenner each, I want to pay you half that. I think 40 quid.
0:25:12 > 0:25:1445.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Because I love you.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18I love you too!
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Sealed with a kiss. Charmer Mark pockets £45.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24He's not in profit yet,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27but he's still got over two-thirds of the letters left to go.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29He's quick to line up another potential
0:25:29 > 0:25:34deal for more of the letters and he heads over to a cafe in his local town of Wallington, in Surrey.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37He's hoping that Natasha, who works there, will be
0:25:37 > 0:25:40interested in buying the letters to use as wall art.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- What do you think of that?- Yeah, love it.- Is it something you'd be interested in?- Yeah.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- I've got the perfect space for it up on the wall.- You've got the room. And it's a showstopper.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51So how much is that then?
0:25:51 > 0:25:55- Why don't you make me an offer that I can't refuse?- 40?
0:25:55 > 0:25:5650 and a hot chocolate.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- Yeah, go on then.- Yeah? Deal!- Thank you.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04Yes, it's another kiss, another £50 in the pot and a hot chocolate.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07And when Franksy finds two more buyers for the remaining
0:26:07 > 0:26:10letters, it spells out a final overall profit of £40.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15But James has no intention of letting Mark run away with victory.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18He's hoping to redress the balance,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21as he takes the weights he bought for £10 to show Paul Harrison,
0:26:21 > 0:26:24a client to whom he's previously sold a set of scales.
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- Are they something you'd be prepared to have a go for? - Um...depends what you want for them.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Obviously. - Yeah. I don't want a fortune. What would you have in mind?
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I'd probably say round about the 20 mark.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Could I budge you a couple of quid? - 25?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Deal.- OK.- Brilliant. Thank you.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44James weighs in with an opening profit of £15.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49Next, he focuses attention on the diamond ring he bought for £240.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Aiming to maximise his profit, James has decided to raffle the ring
0:26:53 > 0:26:56and has invested in a raffle licence and tickets.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00At £10 a ticket, he's hoping to sell enough to far exceed what
0:27:00 > 0:27:03he might have earned if he'd merely sold on.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- There's a lump in my throat to say this is my last ten-pound note.- Oh!
0:27:07 > 0:27:08Thank you!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10That's fantastic. Thank you very much.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- There we go.- Thank you. - Have one of those.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- £10 each, there you go.- I want two. - There we are. Thank you very much.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18- And for me.- Brilliant. Thank you very much.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Fill out your details on there for me. Thank you.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- I'll have one.- Brilliant.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25There we go. There's one. I'll let you know. Fingers crossed.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28Well done, guys. Thanks very much. Cheers, bye!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's a radical strategy,
0:27:30 > 0:27:33but will James's raffle deliver victory or disappointment?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36Time will tell.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40Back in London, Franksy's looking to race away with his next profit.
0:27:40 > 0:27:45He's meeting friend Mark Coughlin, the owner of a classic 1926
0:27:45 > 0:27:50Delage car, to show him the vintage petrol can which he paid £5 for.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54And in a bid to secure the best deal, Franksy has repainted
0:27:54 > 0:27:58the can with old spray paint to try and match the colour of the car.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01What about that for a nice colour match? Not bad, is it?
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- Is it a Second World War one? - I think it's pre-Second World War.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07No, it's been through the Second World War!
0:28:07 > 0:28:11Look, it's a nice thing. Are you interested in buying it, Mark?
0:28:11 > 0:28:12Depends how much it is.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14We'll talk money, but I do need a lift home.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I've been standing out here in the damp.
0:28:17 > 0:28:2020 quid and I'll give you a lift home.
0:28:20 > 0:28:22Go on, then. Deal. Start driving!
0:28:22 > 0:28:25Franksy manages to fuel a profit of £15 on the petrol can
0:28:25 > 0:28:28and get a lift home to boot.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32- Mark, would you mind if I called you James, rather than Mark?- James?
0:28:32 > 0:28:35James! Home, James! And don't spare the horses!
0:28:37 > 0:28:38Cheeky boy!
0:28:38 > 0:28:42This selling race is now starting to heat up with Mark leading
0:28:42 > 0:28:44James by two sales to one.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47But the Lionheart is looking to strike back,
0:28:47 > 0:28:49as he travels to Uttoxeter to see John,
0:28:49 > 0:28:53a regular client of his and owner of a museum of everyday items.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57James is hoping his pair of candle holders that cost him
0:28:57 > 0:29:01£140 will prove a desirable addition to John's collection.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04Of all the things I've bought from the antiques fair,
0:29:04 > 0:29:08if I was going to live with and own any of it, it'd be these.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12So I think they're probably 1850,
0:29:12 > 0:29:16with these candle lustre droppers.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19Yes, very nice. Very ornate. So what are you looking for?
0:29:19 > 0:29:24You're going to knock me down, so I'll start higher.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26- 500.- 500?- Yeah.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29And do you know? Actually, to be fair,
0:29:29 > 0:29:35I could see those with a price tag of more than 500 in a smart shop.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40I'm going to be cheeky. I like the idea of 285.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43- 300.- Thank you very much. - 300, there you go.
0:29:43 > 0:29:48Extraordinary. James lights up a profit of £160 on the candleholders.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52And whilst he's there, quick-thinking Mr Lewis also tries his luck
0:29:52 > 0:29:54selling some raffle tickets.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57It's a tenner to win something that's probably worth,
0:29:57 > 0:30:00if you were to buy it from a shop, 500-700.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Well, the wife does love a bit of bling.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05- Does she?- Mm.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- JAMES LAUGHS - She does. I'll have five.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Fantastic! You're a good man. Thank you very much.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Yes, Mark's quick to retaliate though, as he heads up to Stotfold
0:30:14 > 0:30:17in Hertfordshire with his mirror and mirror frame,
0:30:17 > 0:30:19which cost a combined £170.
0:30:19 > 0:30:23He's arranged to see fairground and steam enthusiast John,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25who has expressed an interest in them,
0:30:25 > 0:30:28which Franksy's hoping will be reflected in a tidy profit.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32John, I bought these at an antique fair. What do you think of those?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34I think they are very good.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38A nice piece of original fairground memorabilia.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41It's been sculptured, the woodwork,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44because fairground people were very much artists as well,
0:30:44 > 0:30:46not just the decorative work,
0:30:46 > 0:30:48but the gold leaf and the way they got it all together.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Are these something that would be of any interest to you at all?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54- They'd be well worth having, yes. - Good stuff.- Well, I don't know.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57I would have thought probably somewhere about £85 apiece.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01Why don't we round it up and call it 200 quid and then make life a lot easier?
0:31:01 > 0:31:04You're a hard man to deal with, I think!
0:31:04 > 0:31:07But if you say you want 200, the thing you've got to remember,
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- we can't go and buy any more new ones.- You won't get them new and these have got age.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14It's craftsmanship and I agree. I'm taking the words out of your mouth.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18- Yeah.- Can I shake your hand? - You're a good salesman, I think.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Mark pockets a profit of £30 for the mirror and frame.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25So, as we reach the halfway point in this selling battle,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28it's time to see who is looking at victory
0:31:28 > 0:31:31and who just needs to take a long, hard look in the mirror.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35Mark was first to hit the track and has made four sales so far,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38sprinting ahead with an £85 profit.
0:31:38 > 0:31:43James has only sold two items, but has a profit of £175, as well
0:31:43 > 0:31:47as the money from the diamond ring raffle tickets he's sold so far.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54So, James has taken an imposing lead in this selling race and he shows
0:31:54 > 0:31:57no signs of slowing down, as he heads to Tutbury Castle,
0:31:57 > 0:32:00near Burton on Trent, with the replica breastplate
0:32:00 > 0:32:03and helmet that cost a combined £100.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06He's hoping they'll be interested in buying them,
0:32:06 > 0:32:09but he's going up against a formidable potential buyer.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12By Royal Appointment, it's Queen Elizabeth I herself.
0:32:12 > 0:32:16Well, Lesley actually - the castle curator,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18to give her her proper title.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Hello there!
0:32:20 > 0:32:25- Or should I say - Your Majesty! - Thou art welcome, Master James.
0:32:25 > 0:32:27- Lovely to see you.- And you.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31Well, I was thinking in terms of some things to decorate
0:32:31 > 0:32:33Tutbury Castle, but in such garb,
0:32:33 > 0:32:36maybe it's more appropriate to fight the Spanish with them!
0:32:36 > 0:32:39Of course. Well, this looks fabulous.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41And in my other job as a curator,
0:32:41 > 0:32:44as well as being Queen of England, I'm delighted to see some
0:32:44 > 0:32:47things that could be interesting and we want people to be engaged
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- with history here, as long as it's the right price!- Yes. Yes.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52- Then I could get a bit queenie again!- OK.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56- Tell me all about it then. - Neither of them are period.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01They're not real. They are good-quality props.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04- That has more age than that. - And what would this be used for?
0:33:04 > 0:33:09To decorate some great Victorian's home? Or is it later still than that?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11- I think it's 20th century. - Oh, is it?- Yeah.
0:33:11 > 0:33:16I think it's probably a prop from a film studio, something like that.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20In style, it's early, it's probably 14th century, something like that.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24I'd much rather have the real thing, but often it's important for people to get a chance to handle
0:33:24 > 0:33:28these things, which they wouldn't normally have. So this is great for the schoolchildren
0:33:28 > 0:33:33- and the public to get a sense of the weight of these things. This does feel like the real weight.- Yes.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36What time do you think this dates from?
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- 19th century. - So, let's talk about the price.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- What were you thinking? - 150? 175 would be the top, I think.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- I was hoping for nearer 250.- Let's just have a look at things here.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50And this of course, as you can see, is the real thing.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Now then, we've got some notes here.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55I should probably ask you who that woman is on the front!
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- I'm going to put 200 in front of you and see how you feel about it. - Go on, then.
0:33:59 > 0:34:0220, 40, 60, 80, 100.
0:34:02 > 0:34:08- 20, 40, 60, 80, 100. - Oh, you've got more left! But I'm not going to go down that line.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- You've got a deal.- 200?- Brilliant. - Fantastic! That's great!
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Yes, thankfully, James is more Blackadder than Baldrick,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18as he haggles his way to a double-your-money profit of £100.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21But Mark won't go down without a fight
0:34:21 > 0:34:23and he's putting in the hard graft.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26He's travelled north to Blackpool in Lancashire with the alien
0:34:26 > 0:34:32heads that cost him £150. He knows they were originally part of the city's world-famous
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Illuminations and he's hoping they can be repatriated for a profit
0:34:35 > 0:34:40when he shows them to Mark Yates, a collector of Blackpool memorabilia.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44Mark, I've e-mailed you pictures of these but they're quite a size.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- Are they bigger than you imagined them to be?- They're a lot bigger, yeah. They are brilliant though.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54- It's not often you get to see the Illuminations up this close.- Yeah. - So it is a good thing to see them.
0:34:54 > 0:34:59- Now, you've done a bit of homework. You believe they were in... - In the flying saucers, yeah.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03They used to have a sign at the start of the Illuminations that said "Welcome Earthlings".
0:35:03 > 0:35:06And they were either there or on one of the roundabout features.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Brilliant.- As you go through them. So they're a piece of history, really.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Where are you going to put them? Have you any ideas?
0:35:12 > 0:35:16I think first of all, we might put them in the window of the shop
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- downstairs and actually light them up for people to see them. - Fantastic. I'm so glad I bought them.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27The ball's in your court, we're in Blackpool, you know what these things cost and what their value is.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Make me an offer and we'll shake hands.
0:35:29 > 0:35:33- I was thinking around the 200 quid mark.- Are you happy with that?
0:35:33 > 0:35:37- Over the moon.- We've got a deal. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- Stick of rock thrown in, obviously.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- We'll sort you out with some rock. - Brilliant!
0:35:39 > 0:35:45So the alien heads head home and Mark heads back to London with a £50 profit.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Both our battling bruisers have been banking impressive profits
0:35:48 > 0:35:52and the frenetic pace of selling shows no signs of abating,
0:35:52 > 0:35:56as James targets more profit with a fuel tanker that cost him £110.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00He's travelled to Newark Air Museum, a place he knows well,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03having spent many a day there as a boy.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07I have to say, it's 26 years ago that I was last here.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11I think you had about five planes then, something like that.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15That's right, that's when we first started. And now we have over 80.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17So we've grown quite a bit since then.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Gosh! And what are we leaning on? - This is a Meteor.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23A night fighter Meteor. Hence the rather large nose.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25And it would be used in interception roles.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29- And the relevance of this is that. - It's the fuel tank, that's right.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33When I first saw this, I had no idea what it was.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37I thought it could be a torpedo. It could be a missile.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41The guy who sold it to me actually knew. I thought, one place for that.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46Well, it's fabulous. Most of the later ones were aluminium.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47This is a fibreglass one.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50And obviously designed to mount on the wing tips.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54We can see the connections here for the fuel, which was for being
0:36:54 > 0:36:57pumped out, and the refilling would be on the side there.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00- But it normally would not be this green.- No!
0:37:00 > 0:37:05- It makes it stand out more.- Would it be silver or grey, like that? - Something like that, a silver grey.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Yes.- How about 350?
0:37:07 > 0:37:10Ooh, that's a little bit too much, that is.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15- If you said half that, I'd have... - Half? Oh, how about 250?
0:37:15 > 0:37:17225?
0:37:17 > 0:37:21- We've got a deal.- Thank you very much, James. Thank you.
0:37:21 > 0:37:26So, James fills up with another £115 of profit fuel.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31The pressure's really on Mark now to turn his last three
0:37:31 > 0:37:33items into big profits.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35But things don't go well when two of his items he's
0:37:35 > 0:37:39put into auction in Tooting, south London, make a loss.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Firstly, the Monopoly and Scrabble pictures fail to prove bankers,
0:37:43 > 0:37:48leaving Mark with a loss of £32.64 after selling fees.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52Then, the skateboard which cost Mark £10 skates away for exactly the same
0:37:52 > 0:37:58amount he paid for it, meaning that after fees, Franksy's down by £2.64.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00That wasn't very good, was it?
0:38:00 > 0:38:03Franksy's quest for profit may be floundering
0:38:03 > 0:38:05but there's no such problem for James.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09He's made profits on all his items so far and that continues,
0:38:09 > 0:38:12as he offloads the censer to a dealer who is
0:38:12 > 0:38:14a client of his for a profit of £20.
0:38:14 > 0:38:18And with the finishing line in sight, and the raffle draw for
0:38:18 > 0:38:22the diamond crossover ring imminent, James sells his last few tickets.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25But as well as the ring raffle,
0:38:25 > 0:38:29the Lionheart also has one other item to find a buyer for,
0:38:29 > 0:38:31the motorcycle sign that cost £70.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Aiming for a clean sweep of profits, he's travelled to meet
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Bill at the London Motorcycle Museum in Greenford, north London.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42Bill, I have to say, I've never been
0:38:42 > 0:38:45so sure that I've brought the right thing to the right place.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48This is what I've brought along for you.
0:38:48 > 0:38:53- Is it something you're familiar with?- I've heard about it.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56There's quite a few biker clubs across Europe, of course.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01- If it was a vitreous enamel, it would be very collectible.- Yeah.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05But being fibreglass, it's not so interesting,
0:39:05 > 0:39:10but the actual sign is good and it would look good.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13- So what sort of price are you looking for it?- How about 150?
0:39:13 > 0:39:16I think it would be nearer the price at 50.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18Would 75 do it?
0:39:18 > 0:39:2065.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23That's fine by me. It's the right place for it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Thanks very much.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Oh, James's hopes of a clean sweep of profits are dashed
0:39:28 > 0:39:32as he makes a £5 loss on the sign.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36So, with James all sold up, it all comes down to Franksy's last item,
0:39:36 > 0:39:40the signal lamp, which cost him £250.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Looking for that deal to seal victory,
0:39:42 > 0:39:46Mark has taken his lamp all the way to the Lanes in Brighton to
0:39:46 > 0:39:49meet Alice, who owns a retro antiques shop.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51- What do you think?- Yeah, it's lovely. - It's nice, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54What's the story behind it? Do you know?
0:39:54 > 0:39:57Well, I bought it from a guy, he makes them,
0:39:57 > 0:40:00so he's bought an old signal lamp and if you look on the handle,
0:40:00 > 0:40:03there's a button you can press in which would do like the Morse code.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07It's got a lovely old wooden tripod and it's just really nice.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11So I can see by your shop that you've got taste cos it's rammo-jammo
0:40:11 > 0:40:12full of nice stuff.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17- So it just fits in nicely.- Yeah, it goes with the concept very well.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21- I do like it. So what kind of money do you want for it?- It cost me 250.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24If you can give me a profit, I'll be over the moon.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Cos it is nice and I do think, to the right person,
0:40:28 > 0:40:30you could put it in the window and you'll make a profit on it.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34I reckon...bottom line would probably be 290,
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I could give you for that.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38- We've got a deal. Lovely.- Great.
0:40:38 > 0:40:44Yes, it's a £40 profit for Mark, but is it enough for victory?
0:40:44 > 0:40:48James and Mark both started this contest with £750 of their own
0:40:48 > 0:40:51money to spend at the antiques fair.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Mark Franks picked up eight purchases,
0:40:53 > 0:40:56spending all £750 of his budget.
0:40:56 > 0:41:02James Lewis also bought eight items, but spent less, £675.
0:41:02 > 0:41:06But who has made the most profit? All the money that James
0:41:06 > 0:41:09and Mark have made from today's challenge will go to
0:41:09 > 0:41:12charities of their choice, so without further ado, let's
0:41:12 > 0:41:16find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20- Have you bought me a present? - I have. This is all about my ring.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25Would you do me the honour of drawing my raffle?
0:41:25 > 0:41:30- I won't look. I'm not going to look. - I'm not going to look either.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33If it says Mark Franks, we're all onto a winner.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38This is the ticket that I've drawn. His name is Alan Whelan.
0:41:38 > 0:41:44- What was that ring worth, a few hundred quid, yeah?- It was worth probably 300-500 at auction, yeah.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46So his ten pound has done very well for himself.
0:41:46 > 0:41:51- Righty-ho.- Come on, then. This is scary.- Three...- I don't want to look.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- ..two, one. - Well, I'm pleased with what I made. I'm not looking at yours.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59Cos you've wiped the floor with me, no doubt, by selling the ring for...
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Wow! You have wiped the floor with me!
0:42:02 > 0:42:06- You're my hero, James Lewis! - Aw, thanks, Mark!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Can I keep the fishbowl? Yeah, why not?
0:42:09 > 0:42:13So, James dishes out an almighty thrashing.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16Having got Mark to do the draw, James arranges to see Alan,
0:42:16 > 0:42:19the winning ticket holder, to tell him the good news.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24- You...have won that.- The raffle! I've won it!- Well done, you.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Thank you very much.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28But the story doesn't end there.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31James has an admission to make about the prize ring.
0:42:31 > 0:42:36I have got a confession to make. That is not the original ring.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39The original one has gone missing. I've no idea where it's gone.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42We've searched high and low for it,
0:42:42 > 0:42:45- but I think this might be a bit prettier.- It's a nice ring.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Cost me the same though, that came straight out of my pocket.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50- Thank you very much. - It's a pleasure.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53It's jolly pretty and I hope whoever ends up with it enjoys it.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Thank you very much, James. - Pleasure.- Cheers.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59Luckily for James, the Put Your Money gamesmasters ruled that he could
0:42:59 > 0:43:01pay for a replacement ring of the same value
0:43:01 > 0:43:05and style out of his own money and not from his profits.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10So, the raffle makes James a total profit of £433.54 after the
0:43:10 > 0:43:14cost of the raffle licence and tickets are taken off.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17I made a good profit, but I couldn't quite keep up with James.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Well, what a whopping profit from the antiques fair.
0:43:21 > 0:43:22I'm thrilled with that.
0:43:22 > 0:43:26James may have prevailed today, but tomorrow is another day
0:43:26 > 0:43:30and our experts get the chance to battle it out at an auction.
