0:00:55 > 0:00:59- It's only worth a tenner to me. - What about 18?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01No, it's worth a tenner.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04John makes a new friend at the car boot sale.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I think she likes me.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Jonty gets a lucky break when it comes to selling.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- How long have you been dealing? - Three months.- Perfect.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15Perfect, I've only got 33 years ahead of her.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Our two selling supermen have arrived
0:01:37 > 0:01:39in West Sussex, bright and early,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42in a bid to nab the niftiest car boot booty.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46These two sweet talking money maestros are hunting for a bargain
0:01:46 > 0:01:48and they're determined to get it.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51First up, it's the cheeky chappie of today's car boot.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55He puts the mouth in Portsmouth and the cash into cashback.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57It's John 'The Hammer' Cameron.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Get in there early, get your buying done and get home for lunch.
0:02:01 > 0:02:06Keeping his eyes on the prize is a dealer who's in it for a bob or two.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09He puts the ox into Oxfordshire, he's a trader with a capital T,
0:02:09 > 0:02:13and he won't go home until every deal is done.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I always think there's another bargain out there to be had.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19Yes, it's Jonty 'The Hitman' Hearnden.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23They've each got £250 of their own money to spend
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and all their profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29John Cameron and Jonty Hearnden,
0:02:29 > 0:02:31it's time to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Morning, John, how are you? - Morning, Jonty, I'm very well.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- We seem to meet at all the very best places. - The most glamorous of places.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41This is almost like a home fixture for me,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- I'm only 20 minutes up the road. - As close as that?
0:02:44 > 0:02:48I am indeed. Have you got your 250 smackers with you?
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I do, in my pocket, and I want to buy as much as I possibly can.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54We've arrived just at the perfect time because I want to get there,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58open the boots and hopefully spot all the bargains as they're coming out.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01My strategy usually goes out the window at car boots
0:03:01 > 0:03:03because I tend to like the most weird and wonderful things and well,
0:03:03 > 0:03:07there's no saying what I will go home with today!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10That's the great thing about a market like this,
0:03:10 > 0:03:11you just never know what you're going to find.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- Good luck.- See you later.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Our two dealing dynamos have come to the Ford Airfield car boot sale,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21armed with their own strategies and stealth-like styles,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23determined to bag the best boot sale bargains
0:03:23 > 0:03:26and pack the biggest profit punch.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30True to his word, it's Jonty who is straight on the case.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33I like the look of this leather travelling case.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37It's got an interesting makers stamp here.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41It's a British make and these locks are in good condition as well.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45Date-wise, I would imagine this is around the 1920s or '30s.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48The most important thing is that it's in really good condition.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52I really quite like the look of that but what's the ticket price?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55£55, that's a lot of money. Is there a profit in that?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59He who dares, Jonty, he who dares.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05- What's your very best on this lovely bag here?- 45.- Would you do 40?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- Go on, 40 quid.- OK, thank you very much indeed. Very good.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14So this is a really nice good-quality bag.
0:04:14 > 0:04:19What we need to do is give it a jolly good clean when I get home,
0:04:19 > 0:04:22put some lovely saddle soap on it, buff it up,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26just like you would with a pair of good quality boots.
0:04:26 > 0:04:2940 quid, I think there's a profit in there somewhere.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31That's what it's all about, Jonty.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35John says he is distracted by the weird and wonderful
0:04:35 > 0:04:38but he's on the straight and narrow at the moment.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42His first buy is this early 20th-century silverplated tea service.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44I've just paid £15 for this
0:04:44 > 0:04:47little silverplated arts and crafts four-piece tea set.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50The chap wouldn't budge on the price.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52It wasn't extortionate, to be fair.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I quite liked it really because its arts and crafts
0:04:54 > 0:04:58and why I would say that is, if you have a quick look
0:04:58 > 0:05:00here at the decoration, you can see all those little hammered marks.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04It's called planishing and in arts and crafts metalware,
0:05:04 > 0:05:06that is purposely left in
0:05:06 > 0:05:09to show that the piece has been hammered into shape by hand
0:05:09 > 0:05:10and it's not machine made.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15And it's by Barraclough of Leeds, a well-known silverplating factory.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Happy with that, 15 quid, should be a profit.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Yes, it's a pucker stop for our dapper dealers.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23Back at his favourite store, Jonty has got the bit between his teeth
0:05:23 > 0:05:25over another vintage travel case.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29But he's facing a tougher tussle this time.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- You're saying 50? - 50 would be my lowest,
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I wouldn't go 45 on this one.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36- I was thinking more like 40. - I can't to do it.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I've got the cash in my pocket, I want to buy it now.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I want to take it away.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44I know you do but for £50, you can make some serious money on that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Let's go halfway, I'll do 45.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I'm going to stick to my guns with 50 on it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I'd like to buy it now for 45.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57Jonty is not one for backing down. This man is a born negotiator.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I'll tell you what, 48?
0:06:00 > 0:06:05- All right, I'll do 48.- 48, perfect.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08A veteran deal-doer like Jonty knows that every £2 counts
0:06:08 > 0:06:11and after a hardfought battle, he closes the case
0:06:11 > 0:06:15and bags his second piece of classic leather luggage.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19There's a big business at the moment in doing anything that is revival
0:06:19 > 0:06:23and this is revival travel and I just think it's superb.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25It is good quality leather
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and everything about it is in really good condition as well.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32Look at the corners there, look at the locks, look at the handle.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34It is made probably in the 1920s or 1930s.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38At 48 quid, that is a genuine bargain.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41- Cheers!- Cheers!
0:06:41 > 0:06:44With that, Jonty steps into the lead
0:06:44 > 0:06:49but John is already eyeing up his next possible profit buster.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51How much for this sign? £20?
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Yes, there's a little bit of damage there, actually.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57- I hadn't noticed that. - You hadn't noticed it?
0:06:57 > 0:07:03- No, I'm too busy to notice little things like that.- £20, yes?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Yes, I think we can do something with that. £20.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08He knows what he wants and he is willing to pay for it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11The vintage advertising sign is John's.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15It's quite nice. It's a tin sign, an advertising piece.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I have several buyers potentially for this
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and the nice thing about it is, the condition is not that bad,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23save this little piece in the corner that has rusted away
0:07:23 > 0:07:27but what we are looking for in terms of condition is that any rust
0:07:27 > 0:07:31or any damage to the surface doesn't affect the main picture
0:07:31 > 0:07:33but the thing for me, what's wonderful,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37and I didn't notice it at first because it's got this haze over it,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40these two lovely kittens just snuggling down in these boots.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42# What's new, pussycat? #
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, The Hammer is just a big softy at heart!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Our likely lads are on fire, notching up two buys apiece already
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and unstoppable, Jonty has just caught a whiff of another possible moneymaker.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56Morning, chaps, how are you, what bargain have you got for me?
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- That's French, isn't it?- Yes. - It looks rather fishy to me!
0:08:01 > 0:08:04COMEDY DRUMS CRASH
0:08:04 > 0:08:08- How much is this?- I was asking 35 for that.- 35 quid?- Yes.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10That stinks of fish now, doesn't it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11COMEDY DRUMS CRASH
0:08:13 > 0:08:16- Do you want to put an offer on it? - It's only worth a tenner to me.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- What about 18?- No, it's worth a tenner. That's all it's worth to me.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- That's all it's worth. Would you do a tenner for me?- Go on then, a tenner.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30That's very good, thank you very much indeed.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32So, Jonty's tasty haggling skills win out
0:08:32 > 0:08:35and he bags the plate for less a third of the asking price.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38I love this plate here.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40This is part of a large dinner service
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and the back stamp says Wood and Sons, England.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46A Staffordshire maker, transfer printed,
0:08:46 > 0:08:51probably therefore dated between the wars, 1920s, 1930s.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56This is the sort of platter that will sell to an individual who loves their fishing
0:08:56 > 0:08:59so for a tenner, that's a bargain.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Jonty rockets into the lead with three buys to John's two
0:09:02 > 0:09:05but The Hammer's challenge isn't dead yet
0:09:05 > 0:09:07and his attention has been caught by,
0:09:07 > 0:09:11of course, a 1960s manual resuscitator!
0:09:11 > 0:09:13Now that's the sort of thing that appeals to me
0:09:13 > 0:09:17and then I get home and think, what am I going to do with that?
0:09:17 > 0:09:22- Do stop me from buying that, won't you?- No.- I might be back!
0:09:22 > 0:09:26So, John has managed to resist the lure of the weird and wacky for now.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29As he heads off in search of something more sensible,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Jonty is hoping to take the title of Grand Master
0:09:32 > 0:09:36with this game set that he's spied for £25.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40This is a really nice, interesting chessboard.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44If you look on the inside here, it's got backgammon as well,
0:09:44 > 0:09:45which is really quite interesting.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Date-wise, I don't think it's particularly old.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50If it's a little bit older,
0:09:50 > 0:09:54you'd have a little bit more better quality finishing
0:09:54 > 0:09:56on the side and top.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58I still think it's quite nice and at 25 quid,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01it's the right sort of price, but it needs to be a little bit cheaper
0:10:01 > 0:10:03for me in order to trade with it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:04But I really quite like it.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- What's the death on this?- 20 is the best, I'm not going any lower.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- Will you do 15?- No.- 15 for me? - I don't make a profit.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19You don't make a profit? So it's 20 quid? I'll have it at 20 quid.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Thank you very much indeed. That's brilliant.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24Jonty has knocked a fiver off the game set
0:10:24 > 0:10:26but he's not stopping there.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Two boxes of retro coffee spoons have caught his eye so like a panther,
0:10:30 > 0:10:35he strikes a stealthy deal, bagging all three items for £45.
0:10:35 > 0:10:41My first set is really good quality, they are silver hallmarked,
0:10:41 > 0:10:42which is wonderful.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Both sets, of course, have this stylised coffee bean at the end
0:10:46 > 0:10:47which is really fantastic.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52These were very popular between the wars, so 1920s and 1930s.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56More often than not, these are made of Bakelite,
0:10:56 > 0:10:58these coffee beans at the end.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I will have to date these properly but I would suspect this set,
0:11:02 > 0:11:05just by looking at the presentation box,
0:11:05 > 0:11:09and looking at the design, probably 1930s.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12They might be 1950s, it doesn't really matter,
0:11:12 > 0:11:14but the most important thing
0:11:14 > 0:11:17is that the two sets are in their original box.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20That makes them very, very commercial.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22The reason why I bought this other set is,
0:11:22 > 0:11:29not because they were anything more than retailed at Harrods.
0:11:29 > 0:11:31These are perfect to sell for a dealer.
0:11:31 > 0:11:33I will probably sell the two sets together.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38With Jonty bulk buying like there's no tomorrow, let's see who is king of the car boot
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and who is prince of the paupers at this halfway stage.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Both boys arrived with £250
0:11:43 > 0:11:47of their own money to spend at the car boot sale.
0:11:47 > 0:11:53John is lagging behind with just two purchases costing £35,
0:11:53 > 0:11:55leaving him with £215 for the rest of the day.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00Jonty has powered into an early lead, spending £143 on six items,
0:12:00 > 0:12:02leaving £107 in his kitty.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08As round two gets underway, Jonty is enjoying life in the fast lane
0:12:08 > 0:12:11while John is languishing in the lay-by.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15The Hammer's sluggish start and loot finding lull means he's really got to up his game.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19When the chips are down, the weird and wonderful...
0:12:19 > 0:12:20How much for the little bird lamp?
0:12:20 > 0:12:25- ..become just wonderful.- £30.- £30?
0:12:25 > 0:12:28- 20 quid.- 25?- 20. - No, I'm not going to move.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31I've got to earn a profit myself.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33You've got to earn a profit?
0:12:33 > 0:12:38I'll bet you paid a fiver for that. £20, come on.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- OK.- What a good man! £20.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46So, with his wacky radar turned right up,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49John is flying high with his pigeon lamp.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51This is typical of me in car boots.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Look at that, it's possibly the most bizarre thing here today
0:12:54 > 0:12:58but I don't know, I took a fancy to it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03I will need to get that tested and rewired but I don't know,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05I think I might find somebody who will like that.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07Well, fingers crossed, John.
0:13:07 > 0:13:12The Hammer is on a roll now and speeds straight on to his next purchase,
0:13:12 > 0:13:1615 vintage car badges for £10 and he's delighted.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19There's a big market for restoration of vintage cars.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21All the little bit and pieces,
0:13:21 > 0:13:24collectors want to put the original bits back on their cars.
0:13:24 > 0:13:25I'm restoring a Lambretta at the moment
0:13:25 > 0:13:29and I've just spent £50 on five reproduction badges
0:13:29 > 0:13:34so for a £10 layout for 15 various, I should get a good return.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37I'm going to put these online and try to sell them as one job lot.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40Rain begins to fall and our car boot bonanza
0:13:40 > 0:13:44and while our furry friends take cover, the stallholders pack up.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45As other buyers head home,
0:13:45 > 0:13:50our expert know that this is a key time to strike a deal.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52When dealers in particular are packing away
0:13:52 > 0:13:57and you see something you might want to buy, then make them an offer.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58What are they going to do,
0:13:58 > 0:14:00take it home with them or do they want the cash?
0:14:00 > 0:14:02Jonty does just that.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06He splashes out £20 on this silver rimmed stoneware jug.
0:14:06 > 0:14:11This is a lovely mid-19th century, if not earlier, cream jug,
0:14:11 > 0:14:16salt glazed cream jug, with a lovely solid silver rim at the top.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20The glaze is a two tonal glaze
0:14:20 > 0:14:25and then you have these applied moulded decoration on the outside.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27All of these extra clay moulds
0:14:27 > 0:14:31have been applied at a slightly later date to the jug.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36There is a slight hair crack in the handle which is a great pity
0:14:36 > 0:14:39but I paid just 20 quid for it.
0:14:39 > 0:14:40I think it's really charming
0:14:40 > 0:14:43and I'm sure somebody out there will buy it from me.
0:14:43 > 0:14:47The Hitman's dynamic dealing skills put him firmly in the lead
0:14:47 > 0:14:49with seven items to John's four,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52but the battling bargainer is hoping to clean up
0:14:52 > 0:14:55with this vintage vacuum cleaner.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57- You're a sucker for one of those, aren't you, John?- Oh, look at this.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59I don't know what I'm going to do with it, Jonty,
0:14:59 > 0:15:02- but I've just paid £20 for it. - Have you just bought it?
0:15:02 > 0:15:05- I have, I told you I buy mad things. - Well, some sucker will buy it.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Some sucker - I like it, I like it.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Everyone's packing away and the rain has come down.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- Hence why I bought this! - THEY LAUGH
0:15:12 > 0:15:16Come on, get on with it. I'll see you in a bit.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18And Jonty launches straight back into action
0:15:18 > 0:15:20while John admires his quirky new buy.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22I've no idea what I'm going to do with that.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25but it looks to have some of its original fittings, here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27well, I don't know about you,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29but I'm always losing the fittings on my new ones.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32this must be a good 40 years plus old.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35so for them to be there is quite remarkable.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39John, now unable to resist the pull of the stranger things on offer,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43has a lingering regret over an item he rejected earlier.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45I might be back.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48# Sometimes
0:15:48 > 0:15:55# All I need is the air that I breathe and to love you... #
0:15:56 > 0:16:00Yes, the 1960s manual resuscitator has lured him back.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- I said I'd be back, didn't I?- Yes. - And I said I was mad, didn't I?- Yes.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08- You've got £8.50 on there, I'll give you a fiver for it.- OK.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12- Five pounds?- Yes.- Thank you very much. £5, look at that.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14isn't it wonderful?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17So, will the resuscitator revive John's chances of winning?
0:16:17 > 0:16:20Time will tell.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23As the rain keeps falling and the stallholders keep disappearing,
0:16:23 > 0:16:26John knows he needs to get a wriggle on if he's to catch his rival.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29but never fear, he quickly spots a potential profit pot.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31How much for the pot?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- Seven on that.- Seven pounds.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Can we make it a fiver? Five pounds?
0:16:40 > 0:16:46Five pounds. There we are. Done. Thank you very much.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47And he's done it.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49John's speedy 1960s vase deal
0:16:49 > 0:16:53means he's neck-and-neck with Jonty on seven items each.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56I quite like the design on that.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59It's no great profits in it, but we don't have a lot of choice.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Everyone's going home and I need to buy a couple more things.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05While John is still trawling for last-minute treasures,
0:17:05 > 0:17:08his opponent's trusted tactics have paid off.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11He's already filled his swag bag and called it a day.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Well, I think I've done all my buying.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20But there is just one person left in this whole market still
0:17:20 > 0:17:22trying to make some purchases.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Hoping for one last bit of profitable plunder,
0:17:25 > 0:17:27John heads to his final stall.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28They may be packing up,
0:17:28 > 0:17:33but he knows what he wants and pays £100 for an American rocker?
0:17:33 > 0:17:36There you go, Andy. All right, thank you very much.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39OK, you'd better get it out of the van now, for me, hadn't you?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Oh, that sort of American rocker!
0:17:47 > 0:17:51They date to the late Victorian period, turn of the last century.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53and these were very popular in America.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56And they patented this idea
0:17:56 > 0:18:00because the old traditional rocking chair with the curved rockers,
0:18:00 > 0:18:04they used to make a lot of damage to the boards on the verandas.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08So this one here is kind of more static and allows the chair
0:18:08 > 0:18:11to rock nicely without causing any damage to the floor underneath.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14They used to make quite a bit more than they do now,
0:18:14 > 0:18:19but at £100, there is a chance of a little profit there.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And with that final purchase complete,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24just in the nick of time, our boys take shelter from the rain
0:18:24 > 0:18:26and tot up the totals.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30They both started the day with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32John is hoping he's seen off the competition
0:18:32 > 0:18:36with his eight purchases, costing £195,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38while Jonty's sure he's a shoo-in
0:18:38 > 0:18:41with his seven items that cost £163.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46of course, the only thing that matters now is profit.
0:18:46 > 0:18:47So now our damp deal-doing duo
0:18:47 > 0:18:50have dashed indoors to compare their wares.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It doesn't look like we did too badly.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56So here we are, we've got quite a different array of items here, Jonty.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59- Absolutely. - What's your favourite piece?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01I suppose to start off with,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04I was very pleased with the two cases that I bought.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05The first one is a travelling case
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and then the other one is a larger suitcase. Really good quality, those.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13- And I bought my fish plate, no chips!- No chips!
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Well, I like my fish plates to have chips, Jonty, I have to tell you.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Do you know anything about angling? What sort of fish that is?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Well, you know, it's possibly a tench or a perch.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26But is it a good "perch"-ase, Jonty, that we will have to see.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28What about you? What have you got there?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Well, I went a little off piste when they started packing up
0:19:30 > 0:19:33and bought two quite bizarre purchases.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36My vacuum cleaner and my resuscitator,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40which, you know, I've no idea who I'm going to sell those to.
0:19:40 > 0:19:41But I didn't pay big money.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45My favourite purchase has to be my boot polish sign there
0:19:45 > 0:19:47which wants a little bit of cleaning up, but again,
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I only paid £20 for it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- Really?- So there should be a profit in there.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53I like that, that's really nice.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55And what do you think of my pigeon lamp?
0:19:55 > 0:19:58I don't think I'm a pigeon fancier, I have to say.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- Again, at £20, you know, you can't go wrong.- Sometimes you can!
0:20:08 > 0:20:11That gallop around the car boot sale was an encounter
0:20:11 > 0:20:14of epic proportions, but it pales in comparison
0:20:14 > 0:20:16to the out-and-out selling warfare
0:20:16 > 0:20:20that lies ahead for our two prolific pullers.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24The real fight for antiquarian glory is mere moments away and both men
0:20:24 > 0:20:27know that they'll need to shine up their stash
0:20:27 > 0:20:29and put their best bargaining foot forward
0:20:29 > 0:20:31if they're to emerge victorious.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36They've each retreated to their lairs to regroup
0:20:36 > 0:20:38and take stock of their loot.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41At the Hearnden residence in Oxfordshire,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Jonty is feeling confident about his items.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47My first two purchases were probably my favourite purchases.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50The suitcases. They are of such great quality.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53That was a genuine bargain
0:20:53 > 0:20:55and I hope I'm going to do really well with them.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I also love my games set.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01The backgammon pieces I have just discovered have been made
0:21:01 > 0:21:05out of real solid bits of timber and I didn't realise that on the day.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09So I just think that's great. I hope I'm going to find a buyer for that.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11And I've got my Doulton Lambeth jug.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14That, believe it or not, is 150 years old.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17So here's my collection, my car boot booty.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19All I've got to do now is sell it.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Jonty also needs to sell the two sets of 1930s coffee spoons
0:21:23 > 0:21:25and the Edwardian fish plate.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Over at Casa Cameron in Portsmouth, our boot crusader
0:21:28 > 0:21:31is analysing his eclectic haul.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34If anything is consistent about me, I always buy odd things.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38And I think when you look at my '50s or '60s vacuum cleaner,
0:21:38 > 0:21:42and my resuscitator here, they are both cases in point.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45But the great thing about car boots is everything tends to be
0:21:45 > 0:21:49fairly cheap, so there's nothing much you can lose here.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51All good profits.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53The only thing I'm really wincing about having bought
0:21:53 > 0:21:58is my rocking chair. Now, I paid £100 for that. Circa 1900.
0:21:58 > 0:22:0210 years, 15 years ago, you would have got that at auction for it.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03But in recent years,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06the prices have come down so I would rather have paid 50.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10But at £100, I may still squeeze a profit out of that yet.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12I'm all brought up. now I just need to sell up.
0:22:12 > 0:22:15John also needs to sell the 1930s pigeon lamp,
0:22:15 > 0:22:19the early 20th century arts and crafts tea set,
0:22:19 > 0:22:22the vintage car badges, the 1960s vase,
0:22:22 > 0:22:24and the vintage advertising sign.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29It's time for our boys to don their thinking caps and scour
0:22:29 > 0:22:33their contacts books in a bid to turn their purchases into profit.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35But remember, until they've shaken on it
0:22:35 > 0:22:38and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Speedy salesman John gets straight down to business.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47He's brought his most expensive purchase,
0:22:47 > 0:22:50the late 19th century American rocking chair,
0:22:50 > 0:22:54to show contact Georgia who works in an upholsterers in Hampshire.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56So, what do you think, then?
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Different to what I thought it would be, but it's a really nice chair.
0:23:00 > 0:23:03The frame is good. I mean, the frame doesn't need any work.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05- It's just the upholstery, isn't it?- Yes.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08So, is it something that we could work with? Are you interested in it?
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Yes, definitely.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Knowing there's quite a lot of work to be done...
0:23:14 > 0:23:16Make me an offer, Georgia.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Erm...
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- 120.- £120.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25I was going to ask you about 200, actually!
0:23:25 > 0:23:30It's going to cost me more to do because I've got to strip it.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Any better than that that all?
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- My final offer would be 150. - £150?- Yes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44I was hoping for a bit more, but OK. £150.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47- Yes, I can work with that. - Yeah? OK. OK.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52And The Hammer's rocked his way to a £50 profit.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55That's my most expensive purchase from the car boot sold
0:23:55 > 0:23:57and I'm happy.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Ready to open his campaign in Oxford, Jonty's brought
0:24:00 > 0:24:04his £10 Edwardian fish plate to angling shop owner, Phil,
0:24:04 > 0:24:06who he hopes will take the bait.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- How are you doing? - Yes, not bad. And yourself?
0:24:08 > 0:24:10Here is the plate. Good.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13Here is the very plate we talked about. You like?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15What is your first impressions?
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Yeah, I used to use these many years ago when I was catering,
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- before I came into this job. - Oh, really?
0:24:20 > 0:24:24- Yeah.- What, with fish on them? - Yeah, yeah.- Really?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Now, what kind of fish is that?
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I don't know, it's quite an unusual fish.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32It's a bit like a trout, but it's not a trout.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34- It's an artist's impression, is it?- Yeah.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- So it's not a particular fish? - No, I don't think so.- Really?
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Unless it's some foreign fish I've never seen before.
0:24:41 > 0:24:43Well, it's interesting, because it's not a foreign plate.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I've got the back stamp here of Wood and Sons.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49They were in business, they started up in 1865.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And they were very big in the Edwardian times.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56And this is when this plate was made. So the plate is about 100 years old.
0:24:56 > 0:25:02- Is it for you?- It's all down to pennies!- It certainly is!
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- I'm looking for 60 quid for my plate.- 60 quid.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- Is there any leeway at all? - I can come down a bit.
0:25:10 > 0:25:16- How far is a bit, though?- 50? - 50 quid? I can do 50 quid.
0:25:16 > 0:25:17- I'm quite happy with that.- Yeah?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yeah, very happy with that, Phil. Yes, you've got a sale.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21So Jonty's plate is the catch of the day
0:25:21 > 0:25:25and he swims upstream with a profit of £40.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28Our brave bargaineers have both darted off the starting grids
0:25:28 > 0:25:30with one sale each
0:25:30 > 0:25:33but John is determined to regain his early lead in his booty battle.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36He's brought his £20 1950s advertising sign
0:25:36 > 0:25:39to the home of specialist collector, Richard.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- It's been in the wars a bit, that one, hasn't it?- It has a bit.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44A lot of people think that's a trendy thing,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46they call it shabby chic.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50But in my collection, I prefer it pristine, mint.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53In that condition, I see that probably at about £30.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56Oh, come on, go 50.
0:25:56 > 0:26:00- 45.- £45 then. Rich, I'll shake your hand.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Right-oh, John.- £45.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Yes, they shake on a shiny profit of £25,
0:26:05 > 0:26:09putting John in the lead with two items sold to Jonty's one.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13And with victory on his mind, John's poised to widen the gap.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17He's brought his vintage buyers to the 1960s-inspired home of contact,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Dave, a collector of the era's decorative art and design.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I reckon my little five pounds investment, well,
0:26:23 > 0:26:28I could double, treble, quadruple my investment and some.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30I've got high hopes for this.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33# He's got high hopes... #
0:26:33 > 0:26:36And that confidence could take John all the way to the top.
0:26:36 > 0:26:40But will Dave want the vase for his '60s collection?
0:26:40 > 0:26:45- Here we are.- OK, yes. - It's West German. Have a look.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Now, the interesting thing about the West German pottery is that it's
0:26:49 > 0:26:52probably one of the most uncharted areas in terms of knowledge.
0:26:52 > 0:26:56So new information is coming to the surface all the time
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and it is a really interesting area
0:26:58 > 0:27:00if you want to delve further into it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03But, you know, I saw that and I thought, you know what,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06that's quite a stylish thing. I've got to have it. So what do you think?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07Yes, it's actually quite nice.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I like the texture and the little designs on there as well. So, yeah.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14And size-wise, I think is pretty good.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18- Do you think you'd like to buy this piece?- I might be persuaded.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You might be persuaded? It's going to come down, as always, to price.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- I think so. - So, what do you see it as?
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Erm, I was sort of thinking around 30 quid.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32- I'm thinking kind of 50-ish, what do you reckon?- Right.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Well, I guess inevitably we might have to sort of settle
0:27:35 > 0:27:38somewhere in the middle.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42So if you are happy right now with 40 quid?
0:27:42 > 0:27:46Do you know what, £40, I'm not going to argue with that.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47£40. Lovely.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52So, John seals the deal and pulls in a groovy profit of £35.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well, I was transported back to '60s heaven there,
0:27:55 > 0:28:01and I got to make a nice seven times profit on my West German vase.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04Well, as they say in the soul world, Jonty,
0:28:04 > 0:28:09# Nowhere to run to, baby, nowhere to hide... #
0:28:09 > 0:28:12A sweet singer as well as a super seller!
0:28:12 > 0:28:15Profit-prowler Jonty certainly isn't hiding from victory,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18as he rolled the dice on his next item.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20But will his numbers come up?
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Now, I have with me my games box which
0:28:23 > 0:28:26I bought in the car boot sale only for 20 quid.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Now some of you might know that I'm a rugby coach and in the past,
0:28:29 > 0:28:32parents have expressed interest in my stock
0:28:32 > 0:28:35and I happened to show one of the parents, Jo, a picture of this.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37And she expressed an interest.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40The question is, will she be game for a purchase?
0:28:40 > 0:28:45- Mahogany games box. It's about 100 years old, so it's Edwardian.- Yes.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48OK? So you get two for the price of one here. OK.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Because on the outside, as you can see, you've got the chequerboard.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Yes.- But on the inside, you've got a backgammon set.- Excellent.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57And what I really love,
0:28:57 > 0:29:01have a look at these lovely pieces of turned timber.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03Aren't they gorgeous?
0:29:03 > 0:29:04I think they're very beautiful.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07You can actually almost see the rings, can't you?
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Where it's been cut.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13These shakers are obviously quite contemporary,
0:29:13 > 0:29:16- so they're not original, but they are nice leather.- Yes.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20- And we've got some lovely old bone dice as well.- Ah, very good.
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- Those are rather nice as well.- Yes. - So, do you play?- I do play, yes.
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Well, let the game begin!
0:29:28 > 0:29:30- 100 quid to you, madam.- Right, OK.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33He's gone in high. Has he put her off?
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Erm, I definitely like it, I think it's great.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39We're on the right track?
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Yeah, definitely. I think the boys would really enjoy this,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and I would as well, more to the point.
0:29:44 > 0:29:49Erm, I don't know whether £100 is completely where I'm at with it.
0:29:49 > 0:29:51Excellent haggling skills from Jo.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54She's forcing him to make another offer.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55What about 90 quid?
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Oh, that's £10 off.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, I was thinking more around 75.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04She counter-attacks with a lower bid.
0:30:04 > 0:30:05What about 80?
0:30:05 > 0:30:08He's not giving in easily.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- OK, you've got a deal. - Yes? Yes, we'll do 80.
0:30:12 > 0:30:18Game over, Jo gets the game's board and Jonty takes home a £60 profit.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21now, down on the south coast, our guru of the gavel, John,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24has delved into his little black book to find a buyer
0:30:24 > 0:30:28for his £15 early 20th century tea set.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29He's targeted Ian,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32an antiques dealer he's dealt with many times before.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35So he knows he's in for a rough time.
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- There we are.- It's chaos, but fun. What have you brought me today?
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I've brought the tea, I hope you've got the biscuits!
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Well, I may have the biscuits, but let me see, it's a four piece set?
0:30:44 > 0:30:47A four piece set and the tray doesn't come with it, I'm afraid.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Not the tray?- No, the tray doesn't come with it.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51I'm pleased, because the tray doesn't work, really, does it?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54See, the insults start right away with you, Ian.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56That's the bit I like!
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Well, you've cleaned it up, it's very shiny.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01But you do know silver plate
0:31:01 > 0:31:03is a little bit difficult to sell, don't you?
0:31:03 > 0:31:07I kind of thought you were probably going to come in at that angle, Ian.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11I know silver plate isn't as fashionable as it once was
0:31:11 > 0:31:13and I appreciate that difficult sell.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17But, you know, I think what's nice about this is the decoration on it.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- It gives it that subtle arts and crafts feel.- Yes.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Which would be consistent with the date, around about 1910, 1915.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Around about the First World War. - Yes.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29It is in nice condition
0:31:29 > 0:31:32and I think that you could get a profit out of that.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36It's a decent thing. I think somebody would buy that purely for an arts and crafts interior.
0:31:36 > 0:31:37I think they would.
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- So are you interested in buying it? - I think so, if the price is right.
0:31:41 > 0:31:45But they have to be modestly priced to get the sale.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48So, what are we going to do?
0:31:48 > 0:31:53I'm going to say I think this is worth every bit of £60, Ian.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58- Perhaps 40.- Well, I was expecting a counter offer from you, Ian.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01If I didn't get one, I'd be taking your temperature right now!
0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Yes, you would! You would. - Can we do any better than that?
0:32:05 > 0:32:10- Well, not very much. Maybe another fiver, £45.- £45?- Yes.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15Well, £45. Well, the fact that you didn't give me a tougher time,
0:32:15 > 0:32:17Ian, I'm happy with that. I'll take the £45 and run!
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Gives you a profit, I hope.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24John survives his toughest tussle yet and polishes up a profit of £30.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28The Hammer is storming ahead with four sales to Jonty's two.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30And as he motors towards his next sale,
0:32:30 > 0:32:35he stays focused on victory by keeping his rival close by.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38John put his £10 vintage car badges up for sale online in the hope
0:32:38 > 0:32:43of driving up a large profit, but his strategy has stalled.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46The auction's just finished and they've sold for £20,
0:32:46 > 0:32:49which I've got to be honest, is a bit disappointing.
0:32:49 > 0:32:54I was hoping for more. But, there you are. Sold and a small profit.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Chin up, John.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59After selling fees, the Hammer still pulled a profit of £7.90.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01But as we reach half time,
0:33:01 > 0:33:05arch rival Jonty still has five items up his sleeve.
0:33:05 > 0:33:08So has The Hammer built up an insurmountable lead?
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Or is The Hitman poised to hit back?
0:33:11 > 0:33:14So far, our speedy seller John has sold five items
0:33:14 > 0:33:18and earned a profit of £157.90.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21While slow starter Jonty has sold just two items
0:33:21 > 0:33:24and notched up £100 worth of profit.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28So, The Hammer has stolen an impressive lead from his rival
0:33:28 > 0:33:30in this race for selling superstardom.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Jonty will need to come into round two all guns blazing.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39That's it. I've lost. I'm never going to win this competition.
0:33:39 > 0:33:43I've packed my bags, I'm leaving the country for good.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46No! Whatever do you mean, Jonty?
0:33:46 > 0:33:48Ha ha! I haven't!
0:33:48 > 0:33:51I've just found a buyer over the road there, he's going to love
0:33:51 > 0:33:55these suitcases and I think I'm in for a big profit.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59During his research, Jonty found antique luggage specialist Tim
0:33:59 > 0:34:02and he's hoping to pack a profit on the two cases.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05First up, the gentleman's case that cost £48.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- So, I've sent you pictures. Are they what you expected?- I think they are.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12- No nasty surprises. - I love this label.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14You know, this label is actually very unusual.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17I see a lot of Army and Navy cases, but actually,
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- I don't think I've ever seen that label.- Yes.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22I think this was made in the '20s, perhaps the '30s.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26I mean, this is a really nice quality, good, heavy, practical case.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I like the colour, too.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31And I think with a decent polish, that would begin to glow again.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Yes, I think this is a lovely object.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38And I was hoping to sell it to you, in this state, for 150 quid. OK.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40I think I'm close.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43OK. So if we could get sort of an equitable balance.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Well, tell me what would you offer me?- I'd be happy at 120 quid.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50120 quid? I'm happy with that. Yeah, very happy with that.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53120 quid is absolutely fine. Thanks so much.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57One case closed, and it packs Jonty a £72 profit.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00But can he rack up a trunk full of cash with the second case?
0:35:00 > 0:35:03We'll find out later.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07John has hit the road and headed north in search of his next buyer.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09I've come to Manchester to see a prop hire company
0:35:09 > 0:35:12to see if I can unload a couple of items from the car boot.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15The first up is my vintage vacuum cleaner,
0:35:15 > 0:35:19which my wife rather cheekily asked, did I know how to use?
0:35:21 > 0:35:25# I want to break free
0:35:25 > 0:35:29# I want to break free... #
0:35:29 > 0:35:31The second item is my resuscitator.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34Again, early 1960s, good vintage piece.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37I only paid £25 for both of them. I'm hoping there's a small profit.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39But no losses!
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Our Doctor of the Dosh has only seen profits
0:35:42 > 0:35:45so far in this epic clash and now he's hoping his two vintage
0:35:45 > 0:35:49items will lead props house manager Geoff breathless.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51# Doc, Doc, Doctor Beat... #
0:35:51 > 0:35:54The first item I want to show you is this.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58- Right,- OK. Early 1960s. - OK, all right.- Australian...- Right.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00..resuscitator. OK!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03So this would have gone out to all the ambulances,
0:36:03 > 0:36:05- military vehicles, of that period. - Right, OK.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08OK, pop that down there. You don't look impressed!
0:36:08 > 0:36:10A bit specialist for us. A bit specialist.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- Well, you never know, you never know.- You never know, yes.
0:36:13 > 0:36:16The second item here is the vacuum cleaner.
0:36:16 > 0:36:18- OK, this looks interesting. - This, I do like.- I like that.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20- That's good, isn't it? - Yeah, I do like that.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22it's got all the bits in there.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25this was designed I think in the 1950s
0:36:25 > 0:36:28and it was actually made in Sweden.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30And it's actually on little sledge runners.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- It's an amazing thing, isn't it? - A very nice piece, that, yeah.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Something we can do a deal on? - Yeah, what are you looking for?
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Well, I tell you what. I want to do the two today as a job lot.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- Right,- OK. Not a lot of money. - Right, OK.
0:36:43 > 0:36:48- I'm looking for 60 quid for the both of them.- Oh!
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Erm, no. No.
0:36:52 > 0:36:5335 for them both?
0:36:55 > 0:36:58Would you make it 40?
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- Yeah.- £40? - Yes.- Good man.- OK, all right.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06- Cheers.- £40.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10John cleans up a tidy total profit of £15.
0:37:10 > 0:37:11not to be outdone,
0:37:11 > 0:37:16our eminent expert Jonty retaliates with an immediate strike back.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19He's brought the £20 Victorian silver rimmed jug to local
0:37:19 > 0:37:22silver dealer and contact, Siobhan.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26- Here it is. Here's my lovely jug. - Oh!- What do you think?
0:37:26 > 0:37:30- I think it's lovely. Very decorative. Nice size.- Yes.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33It's nice with the silver rim and I like the fact that it's Doulton.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Yes. Great. 80 quid, madam.
0:37:36 > 0:37:40I was thinking more like 50.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42If we can do a bit more, it's yours.
0:37:42 > 0:37:48- So if I said 60, it's yours for the taking.- £60? Yes, OK.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Will you do that? I can do £60.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Jonty walks away with a brimful of profit totalling £40.
0:37:54 > 0:37:59What a comeback. Jonty is now down to his two final items.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01He's hoping to sell the two sets of coffee spoons
0:38:01 > 0:38:05he bought for £25 to rookie antiques trader, Karen,
0:38:05 > 0:38:07who is looking to increase her stock.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11They're very pretty. I'm quite new at this, so you'll have to be fairly gentle with me
0:38:11 > 0:38:13and just tell me the details about them.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- How long have you been dealing, actually?- Three months.- Perfect.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19Perfect! I've only got 33 years ahead of her! Now, listen.
0:38:19 > 0:38:25we've got one silver set there and a silver-plated set.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28OK, now, are they teaspoons or are they coffee spoons?
0:38:28 > 0:38:29They are coffee spoons
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- because we've got the stylised coffee bean at the end.- Oh, I see.
0:38:32 > 0:38:33OK, so that's what they are.
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- They are in their original presentation box.- Yes, I like that.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40These are hallmarked on the actual spoon itself.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42- So they are 1930s.- Oh yes, that's very nice, isn't it?
0:38:42 > 0:38:45- Yes, really nice. Really nice detailing.- And where are they made?
0:38:45 > 0:38:47They are assayed in Birmingham, that's where
0:38:47 > 0:38:51a lot of 19th century and early 20th century silver was made.
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- I would be interested in them. - You like them?- Yes.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56It of course will depend on what you were looking for.
0:38:56 > 0:39:01It always depends on price. I want £60 for these and £30 for these.
0:39:01 > 0:39:02OK.
0:39:02 > 0:39:07That is a little bit more than I was hoping to pay.
0:39:07 > 0:39:12- Would you take 45 for these? - 45 for those, right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15And 20 for those?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Let's stick with £20 for these. OK. I'm very happy with those.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Yes, I'm happy with that.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22But if we could just do another fiver, we're on.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25- So £50 for the set.- That's fine, that's a deal.- You happy?- Yes.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Brilliant.- Thank you very much. - Well, I hope you make lots of money.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30- Good, I will. - That's the name of the game.
0:39:30 > 0:39:31It certainly is.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Jonty scoops out a combined profit of £45 as the curtain
0:39:34 > 0:39:37falls on his selling spree.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40The final whistle is mere moments away,
0:39:40 > 0:39:44so time for John to say goodbye to his last weird and wonderful item.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45HE COOS
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Think she likes me!
0:39:48 > 0:39:51John's had the pigeon lamp rewired, PAT-tested
0:39:51 > 0:39:56and fitted with a new glass shade, bringing the total cost to £30.50.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59He's brought it to Southsea to show antiques dealer, Debbie,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02who specialises in unusual decorative pieces.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05And it looks like the pigeon might just fit right in.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12I have one similar, which I have lived with for eight years.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- what, you've had it eight years? - Eight years.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19- They don't exactly fly out! - Ah! Well look, I can assure you...
0:40:19 > 0:40:21This one might!
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Well, I can assure you, if it does, it's got no ring on its leg,
0:40:24 > 0:40:27so this is no homing pigeon. It won't come back!
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Looking at that, you've got the same rouge marble base.
0:40:30 > 0:40:34We've got the same replacement reproduction glass shades on them.
0:40:34 > 0:40:39So you've now got, potentially, a pair of them. So, do you like it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:42I do. I think it's lovely.
0:40:42 > 0:40:48- Do you think we could possibly work out a deal?- We'll try.- We'll try?
0:40:48 > 0:40:52Well, I'm looking for, I think it's worth £100.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I think that's a little steep.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00I really would like to give 85 for it. Tops.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03- £85? Yes?- 85, yes.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06- You wouldn't go any more than that? - No, I'm sorry.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- I wouldn't.- Well, £85, I think I could live with.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13- It does give me a bit of a profit. Shall we shake?- We'll shake.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16Yes, John secures a highflying profit of £54.50
0:41:16 > 0:41:20after restoration costs and he's all sold up.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22This money-making marathon is over
0:41:22 > 0:41:25and our selling sprinters are both crossed the finishing line.
0:41:25 > 0:41:29Only one of them can take gold. Who will it be?
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Our duelling duo each started with £250 of their own money.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34John bought eight items,
0:41:34 > 0:41:38spending £205.50 including restoration costs.
0:41:38 > 0:41:43Jonty hauled in seven items and spent £163,
0:41:43 > 0:41:47but the question still remains, who has made the most profit?
0:41:47 > 0:41:48All the money that John
0:41:48 > 0:41:50and Jonty have made will go to the charities of their choice
0:41:50 > 0:41:53so without further ado, let's find out who is today's
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- Jonty Hearnden!- How are you doing? - How are you?- I'm very well.
0:41:59 > 0:42:00But before we go any further,
0:42:00 > 0:42:04I just so want to know how you got on with that pigeon lamp?
0:42:04 > 0:42:07Well, it did bring home the corn in the end, Jonty.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08And you know, I love car boots
0:42:08 > 0:42:11because you end up buying quirky things like that lamp.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14But after a new lampshade and a rewire, I managed to sell it.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- but not to a pigeon fancier.- You actually managed to get that sold?
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Don't act surprised, Jonty! But how about you? Your fish plate.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- A fine item.- I found the perfect buyer for my plate.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29The absolute perfect buyer for that. So I was pleased with that.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- Now, shall we find out how we got on? OK. Ready?- I'll count it in.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35One, two, three.
0:42:37 > 0:42:43- Oh, Jonty!- Oh!- I will shake your hand and say the best man won.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45No, that was good, I enjoyed that market.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I usually like car boots, but not any more!
0:42:48 > 0:42:51so Jonty 'The Hitman' Hearnden triumphs today.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53But what sealed his victory?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- How much do you want for this? - 150 quid.
0:42:56 > 0:42:59- OK, I won't bid you on this one. - Perfect. Deal done.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Jonty sold up for the stylish sum of £150
0:43:02 > 0:43:05and packed away a profit of £110.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08That's another case closed for the Hitman!
0:43:08 > 0:43:11Well, I lost by a clear mile there.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15But The Hammer might be down, he certainly isn't out.
0:43:15 > 0:43:19So in the end, it was all about selling those suitcases.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23Victory is mine. John, pack your bags!
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Well, they both need to pack their bags because tomorrow,
0:43:26 > 0:43:30John has the chance to get his own back at an antiques market in Paris.
