0:00:13 > 0:00:16'And gives YOU the insider's view of the trade.'

0:00:16 > 0:00:18I'm on the case.

0:00:19 > 0:00:24'One pair of duelling dealers face a different daily challenge...'

0:00:24 > 0:00:26I'm a cheeky chancer!

0:00:26 > 0:00:29'..putting their reputations on the line

0:00:29 > 0:00:32'and giving you top tips and savvy secrets

0:00:32 > 0:00:36'on how to make the most money from buying and selling.'

0:00:36 > 0:00:39- Let's go and spend some money! - Get in there!

0:00:39 > 0:00:43'Today, two mighty auctioneers pit their wits against each other

0:00:43 > 0:00:46'as Put Your Money new girl Christina Trevanion

0:00:46 > 0:00:51'takes on the charms of veteran bruiser Phil Serrell.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54'Coming up, Phil has a crisis of confidence...'

0:00:54 > 0:00:59How daft can you get? I'll get it home and think, "What have I done now?"

0:00:59 > 0:01:03'..Christina shows you what it takes to get a winning bid at auction...'

0:01:03 > 0:01:06Look at that steely determination.

0:01:06 > 0:01:11'..and Phil crumbles when face with England rugby legend Mike Teague.'

0:01:11 > 0:01:13How can I do a deal against a Gloucester boy?

0:01:13 > 0:01:16'This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.'

0:01:28 > 0:01:32'Let's steady our nerves and train our sights

0:01:32 > 0:01:35'as we hunt for treasure in the great indoors.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37'First up is...

0:01:37 > 0:01:41'expert auctioneer specialising in jewellery.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43'Nothing shiny gets past her beady eye.

0:01:43 > 0:01:46'She'll pounce on a twinkle of a profit.'

0:01:46 > 0:01:48I'm going to have to do some serious buying.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50'Next up, it's...

0:01:50 > 0:01:53'A veteran auctioneer with guile and cool cunning,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57'he's dogged in his pursuit of victory.'

0:01:57 > 0:01:59It could all go horribly wrong.

0:01:59 > 0:02:03'Fur will fly, as these two brilliant beasts go head-to-head

0:02:03 > 0:02:07'in a bid to be crowned King or Queen of the antiques jungle.

0:02:07 > 0:02:13'Today's rumble is taking place at Moore, Allen and Innocent auctioneers in Cirencester.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16'They each have £1,000 of their own money to spend.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19'The profits will go to their chosen charity.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22'So, Phil Serrell and Christina Trevanion,

0:02:22 > 0:02:25'it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'

0:02:26 > 0:02:28- Christina, how are you? - Really well, thanks.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- How are you?- I'm really good. Sunny Cirencester!

0:02:32 > 0:02:36- Happy days! £1,000 in the pocket. - Happy auction days.- Yeah.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Have you got a plan? - Ooh, I think... Gosh.

0:02:40 > 0:02:45You never know what's going to be here, but "condition, condition, condition" for me.

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I've had a look around. I'm going to go a bit off-piste.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Really?- Yeah.- A bit quirky? - Daft and wacky.- Ooh, I like it.

0:02:52 > 0:02:57- Are you going to spend all your £1,000? - I don't know. Let's look and see.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00'On the surface, it's all smiles,

0:03:00 > 0:03:05'but beware the steely glint in both sets of narrowed eyes,

0:03:05 > 0:03:08'as each of these purchasing predators is ready to pounce.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11'Our Phil is seasoned and stealthy,

0:03:11 > 0:03:13'and knows he'll need to take a few risks

0:03:13 > 0:03:17'if he wants to land those killer blows.'

0:03:17 > 0:03:21I've got a real plan. I'm going to try to buy some daft and wacky things.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25If you buy things that are standard, they've got a standard price.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I'm hoping to go a bit off-piste.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31I've got to be on my mettle with Christina. She's a really able girl.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33- She's going to keep me on my toes. - 'That's right, Phil.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38'After a decade in the business, Christina knows what she's doing. '

0:03:38 > 0:03:42I told Phil that my strategy was "condition, condition, condition".

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Hopefully, we can stick to that, but to be perfectly honest,

0:03:46 > 0:03:51I'm keeping my options wide open and we're going for whatever we can.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55'The bidding starts soon, so both experts need to rifle through

0:03:55 > 0:03:59'as many items as they can in their hunt for profit-busters.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02'Phil's prowl for trophies is going global.'

0:04:03 > 0:04:06There's a certain delicious irony to this, because...

0:04:07 > 0:04:11..a failed geography teacher is looking at a globe.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13I think these are great things.

0:04:13 > 0:04:16An easy way to date this is to look on the internet

0:04:16 > 0:04:20and find the manufacturer, but it gives you some clues here.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23There are steamer routes. What's the age of steamer routes?

0:04:23 > 0:04:25That's probably 1920s, isn't it?

0:04:25 > 0:04:32My guess is that this is probably somewhere between 1920 and 1940.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34Who's going to buy that?

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I think that's a really great thing

0:04:36 > 0:04:40to put on someone's really good office desk.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43It's a "dressing" lot. I think that's great fun.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46I think the estimate is £20 to £30.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I'm going to have a go at that

0:04:48 > 0:04:52and I would think it might cost me into three figures.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56It might also teach me a little bit about geography.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01'Y-yes, Phil may need a geography lesson,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04'but Christina has niftily navigated herself

0:05:04 > 0:05:08'towards an interesting collection with a guide price of £30 to £50.'

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I've spotted this group lot of pictures.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14They caught my eye because my mum went to school in Croydon.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17This is the Pump Pail, 1934.

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Beautiful picture. I love that it's quite gritty.

0:05:21 > 0:05:24It's not a pretty-pretty traditional view of Croydon.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's a group of men working on the road,

0:05:26 > 0:05:29digging it up, gritty, I love it.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34But it also comes with this picture, the Fairy Geese at Walberswick.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36And also this three-fold mirror,

0:05:36 > 0:05:39which I haven't got a clue what I'm going to do with.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42We'll have to find a home for it somewhere.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46'In his search for the wacky, the Fox is circling his next prey.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49'It's stripy. It's enormous.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51'It's got big teeth.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55'It looks like another hunter has beaten Phil to it!'

0:05:55 > 0:05:58This is a great bit of modern art.

0:05:58 > 0:06:05This guy David Farrer, who made this, was born in 1968.

0:06:05 > 0:06:10It's made of papier-mache. That's a thing, actually, to bear in mind.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Because things like this are incredibly fragile.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16If you puncture this, all your value's gone.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20I think it's a really good, wacky thing, a decorative thing.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23Who's going to buy it? I don't really know.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Hopefully, someone who's got a...gallery of modern art.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28Perhaps an end collector, who knows?

0:06:28 > 0:06:33You might even be able to go to the artist and try to sell it to him.

0:06:33 > 0:06:35'With an estimate of £400 to £600,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38'let's hope you get a rock-bottom price!

0:06:38 > 0:06:42'Because a radiant Christina is walking down the aisle

0:06:42 > 0:06:44'towards her next target.'

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I'm a sucker for any vintage clothing, vintage accessories.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54I found this wedding dress, which is just beautiful!

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Silk. Unfortunately, it has got a bit of staining, as you'd expect,

0:06:58 > 0:07:02but that's quite easy to get out, and a beautiful lace collar.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04I don't think it's going to fit me,

0:07:04 > 0:07:08but there has been a resurgence of interest in vintage wedding dresses

0:07:08 > 0:07:10and vintage costume and textiles.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14I love, particularly, these beautiful hand-sewn buttons.

0:07:14 > 0:07:20Just stunning. What's even better is you've got bridesmaids' dresses.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22It's got quite a low estimate on it.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29'The auction is about to start, but Christina just has time

0:07:29 > 0:07:34'to dive on a sign she's glimpsed with a guide price of £50 to £80.'

0:07:34 > 0:07:36I think it's quite fun.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40I am slightly concerned that it will go way over the estimate.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42There's quite an interest in early advertising signs.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45It looks typically Edwardian to me.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48Look at this wonderful hairbell decoration.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Very early 20th century. Great title.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55It's a little bit rickety. You've got a few rivets missing.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00There might be something missing from here, but I still love it.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02'That's it. Browsing time over.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07'The seasoned pro steals himself for a fearsome battle,

0:08:07 > 0:08:11'as our ravishing rookie is certainly no push-over.'

0:08:11 > 0:08:14Christina's ready now. She's got herself in pole position.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18I think she's a lovely girl. I also thinks she's a silent assassin.

0:08:18 > 0:08:23She's going to creep up on me and catch me unawares.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26She's going to be good at this. Just you watch.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30'How about the newbie? Is she nervous about battling such a don of dealing?'

0:08:30 > 0:08:34How do I feel about being up against Phil? Well...

0:08:34 > 0:08:38He's been doing this for a long time. There's no flies on him.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41It's slightly concerning. I'm the new girl on the block.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44We'll see how well we can do against him.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48- Scary? Definitely not scary! - LAUGHS

0:08:48 > 0:08:52'Those foxy fangs don't fluster our fearless feathered friend,

0:08:52 > 0:08:57'and she's out to prove it, as her first lot is about to go under the hammer.'

0:08:57 > 0:09:02We're coming up to the wedding dress and the bridesmaids' dresses now.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06They're very nice, but I'm not going to pay over the odds for them.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Vintage textiles are collectable because they're affordable.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14We're not going to go wild on them. Wish me luck. First lot!

0:09:14 > 0:09:20Who'll start me at 20, then? £20 I have. Can I see 22? 22.

0:09:20 > 0:09:2124. 26.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25- 28. 30. - It's mine at 30.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Do I see 32 anywhere?

0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Wish me luck. - 32. 34.

0:09:29 > 0:09:3236. 38.

0:09:32 > 0:09:3440.

0:09:34 > 0:09:35Five.

0:09:35 > 0:09:3945 I have. On my left at 45.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41All sure at 45, then...?

0:09:42 > 0:09:47- 45 is by 282. Thank you. - One in the bag!

0:09:47 > 0:09:51'Yes, she's done it! Bagging the vintage dresses for £53.10,

0:09:51 > 0:09:54'including auction fees.

0:09:54 > 0:09:58'Christina's hoping that the profit on these could make this

0:09:58 > 0:10:00'the happiest day of her life.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03'Now, it's Phil's chance to try and strike back.

0:10:03 > 0:10:06'The globe he spotted earlier is up next.

0:10:06 > 0:10:11'But his rival's also got an eye on it and has her own plans.'

0:10:11 > 0:10:14The globe. Love the globe. Love, love, love the globe.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19It's a little bit tatty, but there are a lot of collectors for globes.

0:10:19 > 0:10:21They've only put £25 to £35 on it,

0:10:21 > 0:10:25but I have a feeling it's going to go massively over the estimate.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29So I think I might be out before I'm in, if that makes any sense.

0:10:29 > 0:10:30We'll see what happens.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I have to start you at...

0:10:33 > 0:10:34140!

0:10:34 > 0:10:3880. At £80 on the book here. 85 now?

0:10:38 > 0:10:41Five. 90. Five. 100.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43And five. 110.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46- 120... - That's me gone. See what Phil does.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50'Christina doesn't even bid, as the price sky-rockets.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53'However, Phil is intent on world domination.'

0:10:53 > 0:10:58..150. At 150. 160. 170.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01At 170. 180 now? 170 here.

0:11:01 > 0:11:05180 at the back. 190, to be fair? 190 if you like.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07190.

0:11:07 > 0:11:09At 190. 200, if you like.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13At 190, then. All sure at 190...?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17It's cost £230, but I really like that.

0:11:17 > 0:11:22I think that's half the battle. If you like it, you'll find someone for it.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26'A deadly strike! Phil snares the early 20th-century globe for...

0:11:29 > 0:11:34'..With our dealers neck-and-neck and Christina's sign up next,

0:11:34 > 0:11:37'Phil decides to employ some underhand tactics.'

0:11:37 > 0:11:39Oh, typical! Here he comes!

0:11:39 > 0:11:42- Put me off my stride. - 80. At £80...

0:11:42 > 0:11:45- I found a lot.- I'm bidding.- What?

0:11:45 > 0:11:48- So am I.- Next lot. No, you're not. - I am.

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- What are you bidding on? - Whatever you are!

0:11:51 > 0:11:53This is going to be an object lesson.

0:11:53 > 0:11:57Look at that steely determination.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Focused. Look at it!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Don't mess with that, trust me.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Ooh, the look! Did you see that?

0:12:05 > 0:12:07Go on. Get your hand up.

0:12:07 > 0:12:12- AUCTIONEER CONTINUES - No. Peer pressure! Leave me alone.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15- 130 here... - Philip! I should have bid on that!

0:12:15 > 0:12:17BOTH LAUGH

0:12:17 > 0:12:22'Phil's spectacular skullduggery put Christina off her game.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27'He rolls with his success and bounces away with a 1920s medicine ball he saw earlier.'

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Selling on my right, then, at 55...

0:12:36 > 0:12:39I'm really pleased because I got my medicine ball.

0:12:39 > 0:12:43It reminds me of days gone by when I was a PE student.

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Yeah, I was. Trust me.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Somebody might want to get fit with it.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53Too heavy for me.

0:12:55 > 0:13:00'Christina needs to retaliate quickly and is already galloping towards her next target.'

0:13:00 > 0:13:05We're coming up to a rather nice riding hat.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08It's in a very nice box, £20 to £30. See what happens.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Who will start me? 20? Ten to get on?

0:13:11 > 0:13:13'Tally-ho, Christina!'

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Got to be cheap at £10 here. At £10. 12 can I say now? It's at £10.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Good looking bowler at £10 the bid only.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22At £10, we're selling.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25On a maiden bid... 12, thank you, madam. 15.

0:13:25 > 0:13:2718, if you like. 18. 20.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Two. 25.

0:13:30 > 0:13:3228. 30.

0:13:32 > 0:13:37At £30. Lady's bid here at £30. Five anyone else? At 30...

0:13:37 > 0:13:42'She's done it again. Christina captures the riding hat at...'

0:13:46 > 0:13:49This was an impromptu buy, I have to be honest.

0:13:49 > 0:13:52I saw the box and thought, "Ooh!" But nice riding hat.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Nice medium size. Got a great label...

0:13:59 > 0:14:03..The nice address of 1 Old Bond Street, Piccadilly.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06And Scott & Co, who are quite good hatters.

0:14:06 > 0:14:11But for me, the icing on the cake... It isn't in its original box.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14But this box is a Herbert Johnson box,

0:14:14 > 0:14:17one of the best hatters of the early 20th century.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Unfortunately, a bit of damage on the label, but still love it.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25I think this box and this hat, together could make me a profit.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28'Christina's really motoring, as she snaps up a lot

0:14:28 > 0:14:33'containing an early 20th-century flask and scent bottle for...

0:14:35 > 0:14:40'..And makes it a double blow, by snaring some vintage fishing tins

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- 'that caught her eye.' - Sell it!

0:14:46 > 0:14:52'Time to take a breath and see how our antiques adversaries are doing.

0:14:53 > 0:14:58'Christina and Phil started the day with £1,000 of their own money.

0:14:58 > 0:15:03'Christina has soared to four buys, costing...

0:15:08 > 0:15:11'..Phil has only bought two items...

0:15:19 > 0:15:21'These wild beasts are scenting blood.

0:15:21 > 0:15:27'Neither will accept defeat, as they enter the auction jungle once more.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30'Phil is up next. He's polished his pith helmet.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34'He's donned his deerstalker and he's cocked his bidding blunderbuss,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37'as he targets his next purchase.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41'The papier-mache zebra is firmly in his sights.'

0:15:41 > 0:15:44I really want to own this because it's daft.

0:15:44 > 0:15:49I mean, how daft can you get? It's not going to be easy to sell.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53Part of me hopes that it makes £500 or £600 and I don't buy it,

0:15:53 > 0:15:56cos I'll get it home and think, "What have I done now?"

0:15:56 > 0:15:59'You could stop before it gets that far, old boy.'

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- At 110. 120 anywhere...? - It's made it a bit more interesting.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06..190, if you like on the phone. 180 I have. 190.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09At 190. 200, if you like, madam.

0:16:09 > 0:16:15190 here. Still cheap. 200. At 200 on my right. 220, now?

0:16:15 > 0:16:17At £200 in the room. At 200.

0:16:17 > 0:16:19At £200. 220, if you like.

0:16:19 > 0:16:25220 on the phone. 240. Still looks cheap. 240. 260, now?

0:16:25 > 0:16:27240 here. At 240.

0:16:27 > 0:16:31Selling in the room at £240. 260 anywhere?

0:16:31 > 0:16:34At 240, are you all sure now...?

0:16:34 > 0:16:36What have I done? GAVEL BANGS

0:16:36 > 0:16:40'Well, Phil, you just bought a zebra's head and bottom for...'

0:16:46 > 0:16:50Sometimes, you do things and you find yourself asking yourself,

0:16:50 > 0:16:52"Why?"

0:16:52 > 0:16:55And... Why?

0:16:55 > 0:16:58I think I'm losing my marbles.

0:16:58 > 0:17:01'Christina's marbles are all firmly in place,

0:17:01 > 0:17:03'as she bids on another mesmerising lot,

0:17:03 > 0:17:08'the mirror and two pictures with an estimate of £30 to £50.'

0:17:08 > 0:17:11I'm quite excited about this.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15I think my mum would be very proud if I bought this picture.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19Lot 305. What's that worth? £20 for the three? At 20 anywhere?

0:17:19 > 0:17:22A tenner for it? All the hands! Ten!

0:17:22 > 0:17:2612. 15. 18. 20. Five.

0:17:26 > 0:17:2930. Five. 40.

0:17:29 > 0:17:3145. 50.

0:17:31 > 0:17:3455. 55 here.

0:17:34 > 0:17:3760, fresh place. 60. £60 on my left.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Is there any advance at 60? All done? Last chance. At 60...

0:17:43 > 0:17:47- And your number, please. 282. - Thank you.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50'Our girl sealed the deal for...

0:17:51 > 0:17:54'..Let's hope her mum is delighted.

0:17:54 > 0:17:58'The rookie is pushing forward, but Phil tackles this head-on

0:17:58 > 0:18:04'and wins a famous rugby commentator's match crib sheet...'

0:18:06 > 0:18:11There are certain commentators you link with sports. John Arlott was the voice of cricket.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Brian Moore, the voice of football. David Coleman covered all sports.

0:18:15 > 0:18:21But for me, one of the greatest sport commentating icons of all time

0:18:21 > 0:18:23is the great Bill McLaren.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28This here is a print of his notes for a game.

0:18:28 > 0:18:31He would prepare this before the match.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34You've got each player itemised.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37Their heights, weights, clubs, what they've done,

0:18:37 > 0:18:39what's notable about them.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42This is England versus South Africa.

0:18:42 > 0:18:47All these notes are there. I just think it's an iconic thing.

0:18:47 > 0:18:48It's just great reading.

0:18:48 > 0:18:52Now, I've got to find someone who's a bit of a rugby nut.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54I've got a few people in mind.

0:18:54 > 0:19:01It would be nice if we could try and sell it to someone who features on this list, but you never know.

0:19:01 > 0:19:06What I really want to do with it is hang on to it and read it all.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09'Phil's back in the game and it's not over yet.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12'He's got his eye on a 19th-century child's cradle,

0:19:12 > 0:19:14'estimated at £60 to £100.'

0:19:14 > 0:19:19Crib's coming up shortly. I've sort of backed myself into a corner

0:19:19 > 0:19:22because I've only bought four bits.

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I don't really want to pay much more than £60 or £80 for it.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28We'll find out in a minute.

0:19:28 > 0:19:3250 to get on? At £50, I'm bid. Five if you like.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35£50 I have. Five. 60. Five.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38At 65. 70 now? At £65 for the crib.

0:19:38 > 0:19:4370. Five. £80 if you like, madam. 80. Five.

0:19:43 > 0:19:4790. Five. 100 if you like. At 95.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's on my right now. 100 if you like anywhere?

0:19:50 > 0:19:53At 95, are you all sure?

0:19:53 > 0:19:56'And Phil rocks to triumph...'

0:20:00 > 0:20:02I think this is such a lovely thing.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's an oak child's crib.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08It would date from, I guess, 1840 to 1880.

0:20:08 > 0:20:10I think it's such a cool thing.

0:20:10 > 0:20:15This, ten years ago, would have been probably £300 to £500 worth.

0:20:15 > 0:20:19That's how this market has changed. This is really good value for money.

0:20:19 > 0:20:22I just love the colour of it. It's a well-made thing.

0:20:22 > 0:20:28I think there's going to be half a chance of a tidy profit there.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31'And with that final purchase,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35'it's time to see what both our predators have plundered.

0:20:35 > 0:20:41'Our wild warriors started the day with £1,000 of their own money.

0:20:41 > 0:20:45'Christina is hoping to trounce Phil with her haul of five purchases...

0:20:50 > 0:20:54'..Phil counter-attacked with five lots of his own and spent more...

0:20:57 > 0:21:02'..The bidding is over. They bared their fangs and fought ferociously.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06'Now, the beastly battlers check each other's booty.'

0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's been a day and a half. Have you enjoyed it?

0:21:09 > 0:21:14I have very much enjoyed it. I'm slightly nervous that I spent nearly £350 and looking around...

0:21:14 > 0:21:18- But I've spent double that. LAUGHING:- Have you?

0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm feeling a little hoarse!

0:21:20 > 0:21:23BOTH LAUGH Which is your best lot?

0:21:23 > 0:21:28The best lot, and the one that I like most, is my wedding dress.

0:21:28 > 0:21:33- I think we're a bit late for that! - What about your zebra?

0:21:33 > 0:21:38Most profit's got to be in the zebra otherwise I've gone horribly wrong.

0:21:38 > 0:21:43- So, we've done the easy bit now. - Ooh, gosh. Now the tough bit begins.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47- I tell you what, all the best, my love.- Good luck.- Yeah.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50- I think you might need it! - Yeah. So do I.

0:21:55 > 0:21:58'The first torrid tussle between these two is over.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02'They'll need every ounce of their selling nouse and expertise,

0:22:02 > 0:22:07'as the toughest part of this epic war is about to start.

0:22:07 > 0:22:12'Their buys will mean nothing if our eminent experts don't make a profit on them!

0:22:12 > 0:22:17'Brace yourselves, as both dealers retire to their own stomping grounds

0:22:17 > 0:22:19'to prepare for the final battle.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22'At Trevanion Towers in Shropshire,

0:22:22 > 0:22:25'Christina's taking stock of her treasure trove.'

0:22:25 > 0:22:27Here's everything I bought.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31I've got the Croydon picture by Kenneth Broad.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33I believe he's an architect and artist.

0:22:33 > 0:22:37That came with this mirror and this picture of the geese.

0:22:37 > 0:22:39Not sure what I'm going to do with those.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42The Scott & Co hat and the Herbert Johnson box,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44I think are probably 1940s,

0:22:44 > 0:22:48judging by the packaging and the style of them.

0:22:48 > 0:22:52The flies, I know quite a few fishermen.

0:22:52 > 0:22:55Then we've got the Mappin & Webb hipflask

0:22:55 > 0:22:58and the Chester silver scent bottle.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01We're not too far away from Chester.

0:23:01 > 0:23:05We'll see if we can find a silver dealer interested in Chester silver

0:23:05 > 0:23:07that we can sell that to.

0:23:07 > 0:23:12The obvious missing piece is the wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses,

0:23:12 > 0:23:15which I have handed over to my mum.

0:23:15 > 0:23:17She's said that she'll give it a go

0:23:17 > 0:23:20at getting those nasty brown stains out of the wedding dress.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22So, I'll have to see those later.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27'Christina's hoping to clean up the wedding dress and clean up in this competition.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30'In his Worcestershire saleroom, Phil is feeling positive,

0:23:30 > 0:23:33'as he assesses his wares.'

0:23:33 > 0:23:35I've got back and I still love all this stuff.

0:23:35 > 0:23:40The crib's a real old-fashioned antique dealer's lot.

0:23:40 > 0:23:44The zebra's head and bottom! Well! It was the thick end of £300.

0:23:44 > 0:23:49But I think there's a market there and it's a really cool thing.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52What about me? Ex-PE teacher. Ex-geography teacher.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55I bought a medicine ball and a globe.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57But the star of the show

0:23:57 > 0:24:00was the great rugby commentator Bill McLaren.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03His notes - he would have used these in a game.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06He was a complete idol of mine and many players'.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09I'm hoping that I find someone who played in that game

0:24:09 > 0:24:12and convince him that he can't live without this.

0:24:12 > 0:24:16'Phil's hoping to score a try with the rugby crib sheet.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20'Now it's time for both our experts to try to score,

0:24:20 > 0:24:24'as they hit the streets, hoping to turn all that precious treasure

0:24:24 > 0:24:26'into pocketfuls of pounds.

0:24:26 > 0:24:31'But no deal is truly sealed until they get that final handshake.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35'Seasoned salesman Mr Serrell is first to strike,

0:24:35 > 0:24:39'as he hauls the zebra pieces that cost him £283.20

0:24:39 > 0:24:42'to an art gallery in the Cotswolds,

0:24:42 > 0:24:47'where he's hoping old friend Amanda will share his enthusiasm.'

0:24:47 > 0:24:50I know I need to get out more, but I really love these.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54This is something that you can really stay ahead with.

0:24:54 > 0:24:57You might get left a little behind with this!

0:24:57 > 0:24:59I know just the lady to buy these.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01There we are, Amanda!

0:25:02 > 0:25:05I think he's a fantastic head.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09I've got to say, for me, the jury's out about the zebra's bum.

0:25:09 > 0:25:12I agree with you.

0:25:12 > 0:25:16- I sent you a photo. Did you look up David Farrer on his website?- Mm-hm.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20- So you saw what he charges for these?- Yes.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22£5,450.

0:25:22 > 0:25:23Yes.

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Now, I think they're really fun and I've got to be really truthful.

0:25:27 > 0:25:33I think he's fantastic. I think he'd look really, really good.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35You wouldn't have any problems selling him.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38There's sort of... Well.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41The jury's a bit out for me down here.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44I'm not quite sure. Honest opinion?

0:25:44 > 0:25:49- I do like it.- Get in there! - Like you, I like quirky things.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53It's not something that I would probably have in the gallery,

0:25:53 > 0:25:56but I actually do like them myself.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59- So if I buy them, I might just take them home.- Oh, right.

0:25:59 > 0:26:04- What do you see them as being worth? - I would be happy to give you 400.

0:26:04 > 0:26:09I was really hoping I'd get 600 quid for them. Is that destined to fail?

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Yes.- Right. OK. - But I'll tell you what I would do.

0:26:12 > 0:26:16- I'd meet you in the middle. - 500? You're an angel.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19I'll give you a full handshake for that. How awfully nice.

0:26:19 > 0:26:21Thanks, sweetie.

0:26:21 > 0:26:27'So, with a little help from an angel, Phil gets a heavenly profit.'

0:26:28 > 0:26:33That was my most expensive buy at the auction and my most speculative.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I've no idea whether it was worth £300 or £3,000.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39I suspect somewhere in the middle.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41But Amanda's been really fair. It's a good profit.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44I hope she does well with it, too.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50'Phil's feeling even better when he sells his 1920s medicine ball

0:26:50 > 0:26:53'for £85 to a friend who runs an antique shop, making...

0:26:55 > 0:27:00'..With her £53.10 wedding dresses all cleaned up by her mum,

0:27:00 > 0:27:05'can Christina marry a profit to her purchases, as she starts her selling in London?'

0:27:05 > 0:27:09I'm in Camden Passage, world famous for its antiques and collectables,

0:27:09 > 0:27:13to show Annie my wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses.

0:27:13 > 0:27:18She was one of the first people to spot potential in vintage textiles, so let's see what she thinks.

0:27:18 > 0:27:22Here we go, Annie. There's this wedding dress.

0:27:22 > 0:27:25- Hello, there. - What are your thoughts?

0:27:25 > 0:27:30- I have to say, I'm not so interested in the bridesmaids' dresses.- OK.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Just a little bit prudish, don't you think?

0:27:33 > 0:27:37They are quite high-necked. There's not much being revealed!

0:27:37 > 0:27:42It is period, late 30s. That's how they were.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45They had the bridesmaids looking very prudish.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48- Then we've got the star of the show. - Definitely.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50The bride. What are your thoughts?

0:27:50 > 0:27:54Um... Well, I would be interested.

0:27:54 > 0:27:59- I'd be interested in buying.- Super. - Depending on how much.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02That's it, isn't it? Can you give me an idea...?

0:28:02 > 0:28:05I thought maybe turn of the century, early 20th century.

0:28:05 > 0:28:09Late '30s, just before the Second World War,

0:28:09 > 0:28:11when an awful lot of people got married.

0:28:11 > 0:28:15Price-wise. I know you're not overly keen on the bridesmaids' dresses.

0:28:15 > 0:28:20I can understand your reservations, but I am ridiculously sentimental.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22I would hate to split them

0:28:22 > 0:28:26and I was hoping to realise about £100 for all three of them.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30- I don't know what your thoughts are about that.- This one, I like.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33And I would be happy...

0:28:34 > 0:28:37..to pay... I'd like to say 90.

0:28:37 > 0:28:38Right. OK.

0:28:38 > 0:28:43- I can't just push you to that £100? - Oh, go on.- Is that all right?- Yeah.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46- That's fine. - Oh, fantastic! It's a deal!

0:28:46 > 0:28:51'Christina says, "I do" to her first sale and a profit of...'

0:28:54 > 0:28:58There we go, one down. Almost doubled my money so can't be bad.

0:28:58 > 0:29:02The important thing for me is that, for now, they're staying together.

0:29:02 > 0:29:08Although how long those dresses will stay bridesmaids' dresses, I'm not sure.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11'Rugby fan Phil is in Gloucester

0:29:11 > 0:29:15'to try and sell his star buy, the framed rugby match crib sheet

0:29:15 > 0:29:18'by revered commentator the late Bill McLaren

0:29:18 > 0:29:21'that cost him just over £47.

0:29:21 > 0:29:24'He's cunningly tracked down former England player Mike Teague,

0:29:24 > 0:29:28'who played in the match concerned, and is meeting him in his pub.'

0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Mike.- Phil.- How are you doing? - Yeah, I'm good.

0:29:31 > 0:29:35This is the one thing I bought that I don't want to sell.

0:29:35 > 0:29:39- But I've got to. You played in this game.- A long time ago.

0:29:39 > 0:29:44There I am, number 6. Definitely.

0:29:44 > 0:29:48That's awesome. Did you meet Bill McLaren?

0:29:48 > 0:29:52- Face-to-face? No. He was like a god, wasn't he?- Yeah.

0:29:52 > 0:29:57He never really... He distanced himself from the players.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00Why was Bill McLaren so good?

0:30:00 > 0:30:03He had a very calm voice, the way he put things across.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06For every rugby player, the one thing you wanted

0:30:06 > 0:30:08is Bill McLaren to say,

0:30:08 > 0:30:13"There's going to be a big cheer down Gloucester way cos Mike Teague's got his cap."

0:30:13 > 0:30:18You think, "I've made it. I am now an international rugby player."

0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think every player wanted him to say that.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24I went to an auction in Cirencester and I saw this there.

0:30:24 > 0:30:28I can't tell you how pleased I was to see it.

0:30:28 > 0:30:32I don't even know what it was estimated at.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35If it had cost me £200, I'd have bought it.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38It stands me in a few quid under £50, OK?

0:30:38 > 0:30:40And I think...

0:30:40 > 0:30:44Hark at this, eh? How can I do a deal against a Gloucester boy, eh?

0:30:44 > 0:30:47I think this is worth 120 quid to you.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Oh, look at the face!

0:30:49 > 0:30:55- You do realise that this is part of the amateur era?- Yeah.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58- And we never got paid.- Oh! - No money at all.- Right.

0:30:58 > 0:31:02- "Nee money." There was nothing for us.- Yeah.

0:31:02 > 0:31:07- And being a builder now, it's an awful trade to be in.- Yeah.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09- Is that enough?- Yeah.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12- I've no money.- Have you got any violins on the wall?

0:31:12 > 0:31:15- The pub trade as well, not doing good.- Yeah, yeah.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18- Um, right.- Go on.

0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Make me an offer I can't refuse. - 80 quid.- I can refuse that.

0:31:22 > 0:31:25I just have. I'll tell you what I'll do...

0:31:25 > 0:31:30- Bidding, do I go up in fives or twos?- You go up in 20s.- OK.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33I said 120. You said 80.

0:31:33 > 0:31:37- I'll shake your hand at 100 quid. - Sounds fair.- Good man.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40'Phil gets to shake the hand of a hero

0:31:40 > 0:31:45'and converts a purchase of passion into a powerful profit of...'

0:31:46 > 0:31:51I'm glad we got the price sorted. I wouldn't want to fight him for it!

0:31:51 > 0:31:56'Another fight is the last thing Phil needs in the middle of this profiteering punch-up.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00'At the half-way point, let's see who's jabbing above their weight

0:32:00 > 0:32:03'and who's hitting below the belt.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07'Courageous Christina has sold just one of her lots...

0:32:11 > 0:32:15'..Super salesman Phil has sold three items...

0:32:20 > 0:32:22'..Phil has raced ahead for now,

0:32:22 > 0:32:25'but Christina has decided to spread her wings

0:32:25 > 0:32:30'as she flies south to busy Croydon, to try and sell her Pump Pail print.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33'She's hoping that an old school friend of her mum's

0:32:33 > 0:32:36'and lifelong resident of the town, Jan,

0:32:36 > 0:32:40'might be interested in her piece of Croydon history.'

0:32:40 > 0:32:43- Hi, Jan.- Hello, how are you? - Good to see you.

0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Fine, thank you.- Thanks so much for meeting me.- That's a pleasure.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51We meet in all the best places(!)

0:32:51 > 0:32:55We brought you here today because I think that this

0:32:55 > 0:32:59is pretty much the only surviving feature in this painting.

0:32:59 > 0:33:05- I think you're right.- It's brilliant that you can still see it.

0:33:05 > 0:33:09- What do you think? - I think it's lovely. Yes.

0:33:09 > 0:33:12As you know, I have a passion for architecture

0:33:12 > 0:33:16from Arts and Crafts, since the 1930s.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20I love the Art Deco period and I like local history,

0:33:20 > 0:33:24- so this sort of gives all of those things.- Ticks the boxes.

0:33:24 > 0:33:28I would be hoping to fetch somewhere in the region of 150 for it.

0:33:28 > 0:33:31- Right.- Would that be something you might be interested in?

0:33:31 > 0:33:36It's sentimental value, in that Pump Pail was where the Trinity School was.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39My husband went to Trinity School.

0:33:39 > 0:33:43I'm going to buy it for him for his birthday, but don't tell anyone!

0:33:43 > 0:33:47OK! Brilliant, well, that would be wonderful.

0:33:47 > 0:33:52- With regards to money-wise, how are you...?- Yes. I'll pay the 150.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55Brilliant! That's fantastic! Thank you very much, Jan.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59It's a deal! Brilliant. Thank you.

0:33:59 > 0:34:03'Christina is cheerful about getting £150 for the print.

0:34:03 > 0:34:09'She follows up quickly with sales of the watercolour and mirror from the same lot,

0:34:09 > 0:34:11'getting £25 for both.

0:34:11 > 0:34:14'A heartening overall profit of...

0:34:16 > 0:34:18'..Hoping to gallop into the lead by selling

0:34:18 > 0:34:23'the early to mid 20th-century riding hat she bought for £35.40,

0:34:23 > 0:34:28'Christina trots back to Shropshire to meet dressage and event rider Emily Gilruth.'

0:34:28 > 0:34:32- I wonder whether you're in the market for a new hat.- A new hat?

0:34:32 > 0:34:35- Um...- You take the top off for me.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38- And see what you think.- Yeah.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40- I bought it at auction...- Oh, wow!

0:34:40 > 0:34:42What do you think?

0:34:42 > 0:34:46That's the sort of thing I'd wear doing my dressage part of eventing.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50- So it's a riding hat? - Yeah. Shall I try it on?

0:34:50 > 0:34:53- LAUGHING:- That's the crux of it, isn't it?

0:34:53 > 0:34:56I don't really suit hats, though.

0:34:59 > 0:35:04- It needs to be fairly tight, I would imagine, to not fall off.- Yeah.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08- You look very, very smart. - Well, not with this gear on!

0:35:08 > 0:35:11Maybe with my smart gear on, it'd look all right.

0:35:11 > 0:35:15- Maybe if I could try and ride in it? - That would be brilliant.

0:35:15 > 0:35:19Go on. You know you want to. That would be lovely.

0:35:19 > 0:35:23'Emily decides to put her potential purchase through its paces

0:35:23 > 0:35:25'before agreeing to the sale.'

0:35:25 > 0:35:27Very smart.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30MUSIC: Theme to "Black Beauty"

0:35:36 > 0:35:41'The rider returns, but has the hat lived up to expectations?'

0:35:41 > 0:35:46- Happy with it?- Yeah, I am. Yeah. - Oh, brilliant!

0:35:46 > 0:35:51- I was hoping to get 50 quid for it, because it's a nice box.- Yeah.

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- But...- It's got the name on it and everything.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57- Yeah. Nice hat. - It's obviously very old.- It fits.

0:35:57 > 0:36:01- Well, I'd give you 30 quid for it. - 30 quid? Emily!

0:36:01 > 0:36:05Emily! Go on, a little bit more. Little bit more.

0:36:05 > 0:36:10- 40 quid.- OK. 40. And then you've got a bit of...- Thank you very much.

0:36:10 > 0:36:15- A bit of profit in it.- Yeah. - Thank you very much. It's a deal.

0:36:15 > 0:36:20'Christina finds the hat a worthy home, but only just wins a profit.

0:36:22 > 0:36:25'She then sells the 1920s hipflask for £60

0:36:25 > 0:36:29'to contact and fan of the great outdoors Fred,

0:36:29 > 0:36:32'to warm his cockles on country pursuits.'

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Yay!

0:36:36 > 0:36:39'And the scent bottle for £10,

0:36:39 > 0:36:43'giving her a grand total of £11 profit.

0:36:43 > 0:36:45'But Phil is fighting back.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48'He circumnavigates his globe to Worcester

0:36:48 > 0:36:51'to see whether antiques dealer Gabrielle will love it

0:36:51 > 0:36:54'as much as he does.'

0:36:54 > 0:36:59I just think these are really great things.

0:36:59 > 0:37:01I wasn't sure on date.

0:37:01 > 0:37:05If you had a mind to, you could go through the countries and date it.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08- When do you think this is?- Um...

0:37:08 > 0:37:11- It's obviously not an 18th-century one.- No, no.

0:37:11 > 0:37:17And it's not... Might it squeak into the 19th? Probably not.

0:37:17 > 0:37:21No. I think it's probably early part of the 20th, is my shout.

0:37:21 > 0:37:25- Yeah. 1910?- Yeah.- 1915?

0:37:25 > 0:37:28Do you want to sit down cos the bit that's coming...

0:37:28 > 0:37:32- LAUGHING:- It's going to be that bad? - Well, you know what I'm like.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34I wanted to own that.

0:37:34 > 0:37:37I did and I still do.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39- You can, you can.- No, no.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42Is it worth 300 quid?

0:37:42 > 0:37:44I could probably sell it for 300.

0:37:44 > 0:37:48- It's not worth £300 for you to buy. - It's going to be tight, Philip.

0:37:48 > 0:37:50But I do like it.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52- What's your best price?- Um...

0:37:52 > 0:37:56I won't haggle with you. No ups or downs. Give me your best price.

0:37:56 > 0:38:00- I'll give you 280 cos I'd like to have it.- I'll take it.

0:38:00 > 0:38:04- You're a star, Gabrielle. - It's a good globe.- Yeah.

0:38:04 > 0:38:07'Phil's globe gives him a stellar profit of...

0:38:07 > 0:38:11'but he soon comes back down to Earth with a bump.'

0:38:11 > 0:38:13I'm really sorry to see my globe go.

0:38:13 > 0:38:17I might have learnt something from it. It was a good thing.

0:38:17 > 0:38:20I think Gabrielle did me a good price for it.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24'Phil adds to his total by selling the 19th-century oak crib

0:38:24 > 0:38:27'to dealer Ben for £185,

0:38:27 > 0:38:29'making a profit of...

0:38:30 > 0:38:35'..But to clinch the deal, Phil has to throw in some elbow grease.'

0:38:35 > 0:38:38Things I let myself in for!

0:38:39 > 0:38:43'Christina is hoping to throw a line and catch a profit

0:38:43 > 0:38:47'when she takes the vintage fishing tins, which cost £129.80,

0:38:47 > 0:38:49'to angling enthusiast Peter.'

0:38:49 > 0:38:53- What have you got in here, Christina?- Have a good root around.

0:38:53 > 0:38:56To be perfectly honest with you,

0:38:56 > 0:38:58- I haven't got a clue. - BOTH LAUGH

0:38:58 > 0:39:04It's a nice box. You've got quite a lot of nice dry flies in here.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06You float those on the surface.

0:39:06 > 0:39:10So, forgive my ignorance, but the point of fly fishing

0:39:10 > 0:39:15is that you have a fly on the end of a rod and you cast out

0:39:15 > 0:39:20and you're trying to trick the fish into thinking

0:39:20 > 0:39:22- that this is some sort of insect? - Exactly.

0:39:22 > 0:39:26- And it wants to come up and gobble it?- That's right.

0:39:26 > 0:39:31To fish with a dry fly on the surface is the most exciting type of trout fishing.

0:39:31 > 0:39:35When they come up and take your fly, you know that you're doing it right.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39- LAUGHING:- Always helpful. - Doesn't always happen like that!

0:39:39 > 0:39:42Yes, there's a nice lot of dry flies in there.

0:39:42 > 0:39:46- Would they be the sort of thing that you'd be interested in buying?- Yes.

0:39:46 > 0:39:48We can salvage quite a few of them.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51I was thinking - now don't fall in the lake -

0:39:51 > 0:39:54but I was thinking a couple of hundred quid.

0:39:54 > 0:39:57- What's your thoughts? - Way over the top.- Is it?- Hm.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00- What do you think?- Way over the top.

0:40:00 > 0:40:05Well, I think I would go as far as 150 and that would be my lot.

0:40:05 > 0:40:07And I think that's plenty at that.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11OK. Can we call it £150 and a free fishing lesson?

0:40:11 > 0:40:15- All right.- Ooh! That sounds good. We'll shake on that, then.

0:40:15 > 0:40:18Thank you very much. Can I take a fish home for my tea?

0:40:18 > 0:40:21If we catch one. BOTH LAUGH

0:40:21 > 0:40:25'Peter takes the bait and Christina reels in a profit of...'

0:40:30 > 0:40:33That's the last thing I needed to find a home for from the auction.

0:40:33 > 0:40:37Let's hope I've made enough profit to beat that foxy Serrell.

0:40:37 > 0:40:42Shame I didn't catch a fish. Don't know what I'm going to have for tea now.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44'Never mind catching fish.

0:40:44 > 0:40:48'The question is whether Christina netted enough profit to beat Phil

0:40:48 > 0:40:51'in this battle of buying and selling.

0:40:51 > 0:40:56'Our duelling duo both had £1,000 of their own money to spend...

0:41:08 > 0:41:11'..Who has made the most profit?

0:41:11 > 0:41:16'All the money Christina and Phil have made from the challenge will go to charities of their choice.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19'So, let's find out who is today's

0:41:19 > 0:41:22'Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.'

0:41:22 > 0:41:24- Hello.- How are you?- Really well.

0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Good to see you. - Nice to be at your home again!

0:41:26 > 0:41:29I'll be pleased when the extension's finished.

0:41:29 > 0:41:33- The auction, how did you get on?- It was fairly nerve-racking at times.

0:41:33 > 0:41:35One of my first Put Your Money experiences.

0:41:35 > 0:41:40But came out with some really good selling days. Enjoyed it very much.

0:41:40 > 0:41:45Considering we're auctioneers, the auction room is a bit tense. Which were your best selling days?

0:41:45 > 0:41:48Personally, for pure girlie indulgence,

0:41:48 > 0:41:52it had to be the wedding dress and bridesmaids' dresses.

0:41:52 > 0:41:57- How about you? - You've got your wedding dress. I've got my rugby commentary.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00- I met a legend, a rugby legend. - Brilliant.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03That was fantastic, really good.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06- And your medicine ball? - Yeah, OK. Shall we do the...?

0:42:08 > 0:42:12- We won't concentrate on that. - No. Swiftly moving on.- OK.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15On a count of three, then. One, two, three...

0:42:15 > 0:42:19- Kerching. How did you do? How did I do?- Oh, my goodness!

0:42:19 > 0:42:23- Yeah, but...- How on Earth did you manage that?- I don't know.

0:42:23 > 0:42:27- I just had a bit of luck. - You had a serious amount of luck!

0:42:27 > 0:42:31- What did you get out of your dresses?- I made 50 quid in the end.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35- They were a bit minging, weren't they?- They weren't when I sold them.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38- You got them un-minged? - My mum worked wonders.

0:42:38 > 0:42:41Is your mum any good at sewing...?

0:42:41 > 0:42:45'Mm, Phil has trounced Christina in today's auction hoedown,

0:42:45 > 0:42:48'making over twice as much profit.'

0:42:48 > 0:42:50I really enjoyed the auction.

0:42:50 > 0:42:54Given half a chance, I'd buy my front and back end of a zebra again.

0:42:54 > 0:42:57I really enjoyed selling them and they made me a great profit.

0:42:57 > 0:43:01The one thing I wish I hadn't sold were Bill McLaren's notes.

0:43:01 > 0:43:06They were fantastic, but it got me to meet Mike Teague - England and the British Lions.

0:43:06 > 0:43:10It was a very different experience on the other side of the rostrum.

0:43:10 > 0:43:15I'm flabbergasted that a, Philip Serrell made money on modern art

0:43:15 > 0:43:18and b, that it was on papier-mache - clearly there's money here.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22'Christina may have lost today, but there's all to play for tomorrow,

0:43:22 > 0:43:25'as our duelling dealers fight it out one last time

0:43:25 > 0:43:28'in the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown.'
