0:00:43 > 0:00:47Today, Portsmouth's antiques powerhouse John Cameron
0:00:47 > 0:00:50takes on all loot-seeking Londoner Mark Franks.
0:00:50 > 0:00:55Coming up, John finds a familiar foe on his travels.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57I think it looks a bit like Mark Franks, don't you reckon?
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Mark fears he might be taken for a ride.
0:01:00 > 0:01:03You know it makes sense. Come on, Rodney.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Yeah, Only Fools And Horses if I buy that!
0:01:06 > 0:01:11And John goes further than ever before in pursuit of a sale.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13You ready to do this?
0:01:13 > 0:01:15This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:28 > 0:01:29Great Britain.
0:01:29 > 0:01:34Land of cold, hard winters, where nature's forces reign supreme.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Sub-zero temperatures and biting winds.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Who in their right mind would venture out in conditions such as these?
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Two hardy warriors, that's who!
0:01:44 > 0:01:49Two great men who dare to do battle with the elements.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54Brave antiques exporters racing to reach the summit of Mount Profit.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57And, first to face up to the harsh conditions and attempt to
0:01:57 > 0:02:00conquer the craggy crevices of cash, it's...
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Up against him is a man who needs no Sherpa
0:02:06 > 0:02:10to help him plant his flag on the pinnacle of profit. It's...
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Our courageous experts will be pulling on their thermals
0:02:17 > 0:02:20and exploring Peterborough Antiques Fair.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24There's over 17,00 stands here and though there's plenty inside,
0:02:24 > 0:02:26there's many more out in the elements.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29So, our dealers face an added dilemma today -
0:02:29 > 0:02:33brave the ice cold conditions in pursuit of the very best
0:02:33 > 0:02:36bargains, or stay warm and risk missing out.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39This will be their toughest challenge yet.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43They've each got £750 of their own money to spend
0:02:43 > 0:02:45and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48John Cameron and Mark Franks,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55Franksy! How are you? Look at you, all dressed up like Paddington Bear.
0:02:55 > 0:03:00I've got 28 layers on. Welcome to Peterborough. Well, I know.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03How many stores are here? There's, I think, over 1,700.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06The important question is, Mark, how many are indoors?
0:03:06 > 0:03:10What you talking about? Is that dandruff or snow? I can't believe it.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13So, come on, Mark, I'm not asking you to give anything away,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15but any sort of strategy today?
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Strategy. I knew I forgot something. I left it at home.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21I haven't really got a strategy. I just want to...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24If it fits in me pocket, I'm going to buy it. Is that your strategy?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Well, do you know what, you know Peterborough Arena is also home to speedway?
0:03:28 > 0:03:32No, I didn't. Well, you know I am a big fan of the vintage scooters.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I do, I do. Well, I couldn't get us two vintage scooters today,
0:03:35 > 0:03:38but I did manage to get us these.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43Feast your eyes. This will help us get round the place, so...shall we?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46# Born to be wild... #
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Yes, these men of might won't let the weather hold them back.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53On their metal steeds, they're off, roaring round the market.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56They know it's a race to spot the best bargains first.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59How much is that? How much is that?
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Franksy is fast and furious while John is, well, cold.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05So, having given the place the once over,
0:04:05 > 0:04:10have our brave experts come up with a master plan for antiques domination?
0:04:10 > 0:04:13John certainly knows winning means decimating your opponent,
0:04:13 > 0:04:16and he has got a plan to help him do just that.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20Strategy-wise, well, I'm looking out for things with particular
0:04:20 > 0:04:22collectors or dealers in mind.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Old Franksy, he's a bit of a wily operator.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28He has certainly got courage when it comes to buying weird
0:04:28 > 0:04:31and wonderful things, so I'm going to have to go out on a limb today
0:04:31 > 0:04:33if I'm going to give old Franksy a run for his money.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Hmm, best go for two limbs, John. Makes getting about that bit easier.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39And he'll need all the help he can get,
0:04:39 > 0:04:42as Mark has definitely got something up his sleeve.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Some sort of secret masterstroke, Franksy?
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Did you ever think I was going to stay inside?
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Now it's snowing, we're outside.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Mr Cameron thinks I'm inside. Not a chance.
0:04:52 > 0:04:58What I'm looking for today is stuff that you can't buy just anywhere.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Weird stuff, unusual stuff. Different stuff.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Mmm, Mark's facing fearlessly up to the wroth of mother nature as
0:05:06 > 0:05:13he strides wantonly into the frozen wastes that are the outside stalls.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16And as the harsh winds blow through this unforgiving terrain,
0:05:16 > 0:05:19a shrewd John is keeping warm indoors.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23He knows this game can be won or lost on that crucial first buy
0:05:23 > 0:05:25and has already locked on to a potential target.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Well, this is something I've never seen before.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32These are Doulton stoneware. They look like planters.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35They've got holes in the bottom. They almost look like drawers.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39What's your best price on those? Erm, that would be £100.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43£100 is your best price? I think I'll have them at that. Lovely.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Thank you very much.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Yes, he came, he saw, he bought.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51And then he stayed a bit longer, cos he saw something else.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56I do like that. It's a biscuit mould. Earthenware.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Very nice thing. Now, as I'm such a good customer, what can you do?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03You've got 80 quid on that.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06£65. £65.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11I thought I was a good customer. Can you do something better? 60 quid?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15£60. £60? Yeah, 60. Good man, £60. Well, another purchase.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18I haven't even got off the first stall yet!
0:06:18 > 0:06:22When I saw these from afar, I instantly recognised them as Doulton.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24They are a high-fired stoneware,
0:06:24 > 0:06:28a salt-glazed stoneware very typical of their manufacturer.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Form-wise, well, I think we worked out they look like jardinieres.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33But this is a very distinctive pattern here.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37The Doulton glazes, I think they date from about the 1880s.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39They're very unusual, I've never seen the form before,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42and I have no idea who I am going to sell them to.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46But I think they're quirky enough to take a chance. £100 I paid for those.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50This one here, well, this is a piece of pottery.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53It's a biscuit mould advertising ware.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Stamped by Maling's, and it's got "England" under the stamp there.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59That tells us it was probably made around somewhere between
0:06:59 > 0:07:011890-1910, something like that.
0:07:01 > 0:07:05They would have been sold to bolster the brand's profile.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09£60 that, £100 those, pretty sure there is some profit in there.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13So, John is first to make a foothold in this epic trek.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Outside in the freezing winds, nothing can dampen Mark's fun-loving
0:07:17 > 0:07:21spirit as he still searches for that elusive first buy.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Under pressure he may be, but he has still got time for a good gag.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28It's one small step for man,
0:07:28 > 0:07:32but one giant leap for antique mankind.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34# Spaceman
0:07:34 > 0:07:36# I always wanted you to... #
0:07:36 > 0:07:38They're not silly - I'm freezing!
0:07:38 > 0:07:42Mmm, freezing it may be, but it seems John Cameron is also
0:07:42 > 0:07:45abandoning the warmth of inside and is joining his rival.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47And he has spotted a bit of garden sculpture that reminds him
0:07:47 > 0:07:50of a certain cheeky chappie.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I think it looks a bit like Mark Franks, don't you reckon?
0:07:53 > 0:07:56This looks like Mark Franks at the end of the 12th round, doesn't it?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00It's ugly as sin. I think you'd make money on this. Well, I don't know.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04How much is it? I'm asking 90 quid, but you can bid me down to 70 quid.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06If you push me hard enough.
0:08:06 > 0:08:0860 quid?!
0:08:08 > 0:08:10I'm not sure anybody would buy it off me for 60 quid.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I'll give you 50 for it.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16You haven't got to look at it again. Well...
0:08:16 > 0:08:20Go on then. I tell you what, I might regret this, but you won't!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I just bought this sculpture for £50. What is it?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Well, to me, it looks like a piece of driftwood.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28It is certainly weathered, may well come from the root of a tree,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31the plant that can sometimes emerge from the earth.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33I hope I don't end up keeping this one.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35That'll scare the kids and the grandkids!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43It's pitchforks at the ready as John sets out to televise the locals.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49Franksy, I told him not to have too much to drink before lunch.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52What do you reckon? Yeah, a good buy, that is. 20 quid?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54200 quid, it's yours!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You know what, I said it looked like Mark Franks, it's slightly taller.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00It's taller. We're just going to see if we can get him a duffel coat.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02This is the joke that keeps on giving for John.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05Come on, let's get you home.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Well, John's certainly making himself laugh. Poor Franksy.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12He'd never stoop so low as to take the mickey out of his rival.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16John's having a little seat over there. He's happy. Oh!
0:09:16 > 0:09:18How you getting on, John?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22All right, not bad. Have you bought much? No, not...
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Oh, it's just like watching a Saturday night talent show.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29But, back to the buying or, rather, lack of it in Franksy's case,
0:09:29 > 0:09:32as he hasn't yet crossed anyone's palm with silver.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Perhaps this tasty fairground scene can persuade him
0:09:35 > 0:09:37to part with some pennies.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41That's a nice thing. Do that for 60 quid.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45If you'd have said 50, I'd have got my money out like that.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48We'll split it then. 55.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50First purchase of the day!
0:09:50 > 0:09:51# Hallelujah! #
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Right, what's it got going for it? It's an original.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57The subject is good. Fairground.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59When was the last time you saw a fairground painting?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04What they're doing here is they're erecting the, um, arms
0:10:04 > 0:10:08for what I would imagine is the swinging boats they used to have.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11So that would date the period quite early.
0:10:11 > 0:10:17Probably 1920, something like that is the time they've tried to do it.
0:10:17 > 0:10:1855 quid?
0:10:18 > 0:10:20It's got a chance.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You put your left foot in, your left foot out...
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Go on, then. Give us a victory dance, Mark.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29# That's what it's all about. #
0:10:29 > 0:10:32No matter the pressure, our Franksy will always have a good time.
0:10:32 > 0:10:36John, on the other hand, is serious and determined
0:10:36 > 0:10:38as he smashes his way into another deal,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41picking up a fireman's rammer for £50.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Now, sometimes when I come to a fair,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45I really need to be kept on a lead,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48cos I end up buying things like this and I'm sure you're asking yourself
0:10:48 > 0:10:50why have I bought it and I'm asking myself the same.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54This is a fireman's door-basher. I think this has got a bit of impact.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57I could see that standing in the corner of someone's house.
0:10:57 > 0:10:58I think it's wonderful.
0:10:58 > 0:11:02I have paid £50 for it and I might rue the day that I did but, you know,
0:11:02 > 0:11:06sometimes you've to get out of your comfort zone, haven't you?
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Yes, you'd have to be a polar bear to be in your comfort zone
0:11:09 > 0:11:12in this weather, John. And as the Arctic conditions
0:11:12 > 0:11:14continue to plague this antiques tundra,
0:11:14 > 0:11:17our two daring explorers swap notes on their buys.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21And the Hammer is determined to wind up his opponent.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24So then, Franksy, how you getting on...? Mark!
0:11:24 > 0:11:25MARK LAUGHS
0:11:25 > 0:11:28It looks like you after you've done a bit of boxing, John.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31You know what? When I bought it, I thought I had to buy it.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34You haven't! It reminded me of you. You haven't bought that. I have!
0:11:34 > 0:11:36I paid 50 quid for it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39I got him down from 90, it wasn't too bad. But I like that.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44How are you doing? Oh, mate, I've been outside all morning.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47It's the biggest mistake I've made. Have you bought anything?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Frostbite, I got some frostbite.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52I bought one picture. Only bought one picture?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Come on, Mark, you've got to pull your socks up.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58Pull your thermal socks up, mate. I've been on fire this morning.
0:11:58 > 0:12:00You know what they say - the worst buy is the buy you didn't make,
0:12:00 > 0:12:03so don't go home with a pocket full of money, Mark.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06"The worst buy's the buy you didn't make"? What does that mean?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Think about it. What DOES that mean?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11So while Franksy ponders that bit of Cameron philosophy,
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Let's see who's storming ahead and who's still stuck at base camp.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19John and Mark each had up to £750 of their own cash to spend today.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24John has bought four items so far, splashing out £260,
0:12:24 > 0:12:28meaning he has £490 left to spend.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Mark is trailing behind with only one deal, spending just £55,
0:12:35 > 0:12:39giving him a whopping £695 in his kitty.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42We rejoin our intrepid explorers
0:12:42 > 0:12:45in freezing temperatures and icy winds.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49The clock is ticking. Time is running out. The end is nigh.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51Mark has left himself a mountain to climb
0:12:51 > 0:12:54with only one buy under his belt.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But climb it he will, purchase by purchase.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00And it's not long before a set of brass taps catches his eye.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Go on, how much?
0:13:02 > 0:13:0620 quid. What?! What did you say?!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09You're having a laugh! How much?!
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Can I make you a really bad offer? Don't hit me. You can.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Can I give you a tenner? Please? 12.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17I hate all this messing around with numbers.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Toss a coin. 10 or 14.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Right, I'm having heads.
0:13:23 > 0:13:2510 or 14.
0:13:25 > 0:13:26Argh!
0:13:26 > 0:13:2814 it is, then.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31That is smashing.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35But this is even more smashing! Look at that.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38Now, you know in your kitchen when you mix your hot and cold
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and it comes out of one big handle...
0:13:40 > 0:13:42a big sort of spouty bit at the top, this is the same
0:13:42 > 0:13:45but this is from a bath. This has got plenty of age.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Now, how do I know how old this is?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51It's really, really heavy. Modern taps aren't that heavy.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I think it's a smashing thing and quite unusual.
0:13:54 > 0:13:5714 quid. I'd have paid 24 quid for it.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Well, don't go shouting about it, Mark.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01And, with that buy, he's off.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03With a bit between his teeth,
0:14:03 > 0:14:06there's no stopping him as he races around the fair.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08And, in a flash of Franksy flamboyance,
0:14:08 > 0:14:13he bags his next purchase, a metal carpenter's brace for a pound.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Is all of this yours? Yes, it is.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17I'm not even going to ask for a discount.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21This is the best pound I've ever spent. It's lovely. That's good.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Thank you very much. Wish me luck. I will do. Best of luck. Cheeky kiss?
0:14:24 > 0:14:28A bit of cheeky charm from our cheeky chancer. Mark is on a roll.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29His rival must be worried.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Oh, hang on. No, he's not.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Well, I'm exhausted after my buying spree this morning
0:14:35 > 0:14:38and I think Mark is probably not doing as well,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42so I think I'm going to take five and might just relax for a bit.
0:14:45 > 0:14:46Mm. Be careful, Mr Cameron.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50Don't go throwing away your advantage after such a strong start,
0:14:50 > 0:14:53especially as Mark has already spotted something else
0:14:53 > 0:14:54he likes the look of.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57Just a little pair of cuff links.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58Elegant, simple.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01Very LIGHT.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04They are very LIGHT.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07What's the cheeky chancer up to now?
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Prepare to witness Mark Franks' tactics in action.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Very nice. Nine carat gold. Very light.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Very light in weight.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26What's the death on these? Pounds notes, cash.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Pretty please, pretty please, pretty please. They are very light.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Um...
0:15:31 > 0:15:3460's the best, mate. Blimey! Yeah.
0:15:34 > 0:15:35Very light, aren't they?
0:15:38 > 0:15:41How about 50 quid? Can't do it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:42Sorry.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48He looks tight, doesn't he?
0:15:48 > 0:15:49HE CHUCKLES
0:15:49 > 0:15:53Go on, 55. Take a chance. You'd rather have the cash.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Er... Yeah, go on then.
0:15:55 > 0:15:56Go on then. Good man.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Well done, Mark. You did it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00So what have we got?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Just a simple pair of cuff links.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Probably 1940, somewhere around about there.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Got a half-panel which is engine turned,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11half-panel which is plain, so can have your initials stamped on them.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16If we spin them over, on the rear, you've got "9 375"
0:16:16 > 0:16:18so that means they're nine carat gold
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and they're 37.5 percent gold,
0:16:21 > 0:16:25which is gold mixed in with silver and other alloys,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28which makes it a strong and hard gold.
0:16:28 > 0:16:3155 quid. I'm hoping to double my money on them.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33Let's crack on.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34So, with that purchase,
0:16:34 > 0:16:37our daredevil dealers are level at four apiece.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39But it's John who makes the next move
0:16:39 > 0:16:41as he eyes a blast from his past.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I quite like these Boxing News.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I used to get these when I was a kid.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I used to wait for it to come out and go over on a Friday
0:16:48 > 0:16:51and get the Boxing News from the newsagents.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And these date from the beginning of the 20th century.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57These are very early in date, 1915.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Excuse me, how much did you say these ones were?
0:17:00 > 0:17:01They're £30 a set.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04£30 a set. If you wanted to take a few of these and a few of these,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07I could probably do a deal on the two.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09OK, if you did 30 for 70 and I bought them as well,
0:17:09 > 0:17:12100 quid for the 30 and those?
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Go on. Yeah. Good man. That's very kind of you.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Now, here's something I didn't expect to buy here today,
0:17:18 > 0:17:21a collection of early boxing magazines.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23All titles I used to read as a youngster.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26We've got the Boxing News and the American Ring magazine
0:17:26 > 0:17:29and Boxing Illustrated.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32The Boxing News, they date from the early part of the 20th century
0:17:32 > 0:17:36when the magazine was first printed. Now, what am I going to do with them?
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Well, I know a local gym
0:17:37 > 0:17:40that is looking for stuff to decorate the walls with,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42but I want to score at least double money
0:17:42 > 0:17:44if I'm going to knock Franksy out.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46That's fighting talk from the Hammer.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50He thinks he's got Franksy on the ropes now, begging for mercy.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54Not a chance! As it looks like the South London southpaw
0:17:54 > 0:17:57is powering up for a purchase of his own.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00So what you've actually got is you've got a first-day cover.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03You've actually got the note which is of the Wellington
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and the sovereign, so this is...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08This hits coin collectors, stamp collectors,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and money, note collectors in the same way.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15What would your absolute, absolute best be on that?
0:18:15 > 0:18:18I'd do it for 250 for you, and that is absolute bottom-end.
0:18:18 > 0:18:19That's less than gold price.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22I'm not going to argue. You've got a deal, you're a gentleman. Thank you very much.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26It is a collector's item, it is better than money in the bank.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Good luck. I need it. Thank you very much.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32Gold sovereigns, cuff links? Playing it safe today, are we, Franksy?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Where are all the wild and wacky purchases
0:18:34 > 0:18:36we've become so accustomed to?
0:18:36 > 0:18:39Isn't it usually this sort of time
0:18:39 > 0:18:43we see you eyeing up some strange old thing that's falling apart?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Do you want a ride on my pony?
0:18:45 > 0:18:47Now, that's more like it.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50Who have I got to bribe to buy this cheap? Me.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53It can't go cheap, no.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55How cheap's cheap? I'll do £90 on it.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Blimey, this is going to take a while, isn't it? What time's sunset?
0:19:00 > 0:19:04What time's it get dark? I'll be a few hours.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06We're going down £1 an hour. It's a nice little thing.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10No, it's not nice, it's cream-crackered. It's not!
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Come on, help me out, I've got to try and buy something cheap.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16I'm struggling today. I've got frostbite of the nose.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18£80. £60.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Meet you in the middle. 70 quid.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Come on! 75 - that's the middle. Oh!
0:19:23 > 0:19:27You know it makes sense. Come on, Rodney.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30Yeah, only fools and horses would buy that. You know it!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Sold. Thank you very much.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Yes, never one to disappoint.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39There's the classic Mark Franks weird and wonderful purchase.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Now, our brutal bargain-hunters are facing their darkest hour.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44With the day drawing to a close,
0:19:44 > 0:19:49they must move swiftly to snag their last bits of profit-making booty.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Well, earlier I was really pleased with my progress.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55I'd bought nearly all my items and I think I've got ahead of myself.
0:19:55 > 0:19:56Bit of a hare-and-tortoise moment,
0:19:56 > 0:19:59because people are starting to pack away
0:19:59 > 0:20:01and I haven't bought all my things yet,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03so now I'm starting to panic.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07With the clock running down, John must find something, and quick.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10This late in the day, he's certain to go for a safe bet,
0:20:10 > 0:20:14something sure-fire. Hang on, what's this?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16This is the sort of impulse buy I make,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19and then I get it home and I think, "What have I done?"
0:20:21 > 0:20:22Now, I do really like it,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25but I haven't got a huge amount of money left.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28What's your very, very, very best price?
0:20:28 > 0:20:31The end of the day - 250. 250? Yeah.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35I think at that price, it's not going to make a monkey out of me, is it?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39£250, I've got to shake your hand.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Because I know I'll wake up tomorrow, if I don't buy this, and regret it,
0:20:42 > 0:20:44at that money. Thank you very much.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Now, this is just the sort of thing I hoped I'd buy today here.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You don't have to ask me why I was drawn to this.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55There's six individual carved chimps' heads here.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I've no idea what it is, it's just some sort of sculpture.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03For 250 quid - pfft - I'd have been bananas not to buy it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06And with that bit of monkey madness John is all bought up.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Now, the day might be nearly done,
0:21:08 > 0:21:09but not for Franksy,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13who's still out in the elements, looking to snatch one last buy.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16And with time ticking down, he has his eye on the clock -
0:21:16 > 0:21:18well, a digital watch, to be precise.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I do remember, when I was a little boy,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24getting a watch not dissimilar to this.
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Mine was plastic, this is not, this is stainless steal.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32Now, this is the same sort of time digital calculators,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35all this technology, was coming through,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38and the prices were really screamingly high.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41This would have been the equivalent of a week's wages when it was new.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44The guy's asking 30 quid for it
0:21:44 > 0:21:48and inside he said it's got the original receipt.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52The battery's gone, so you'd have to get a new battery. Will it work?
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Not guaranteed. It's a risky business. What's the best on that?
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Give us a chance. It may not work. 30 quid, really.
0:22:01 > 0:22:0325? Go on, then, I'll do you 25.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You're a gentleman, thank you very much.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07And with that final purchase,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10both our dealers have come to the end of the day,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13so let's top up the totals to see who's spent what.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17John and Mark both started the day with £750 of their own money.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21John has made six deals and spent a total of £610.
0:22:21 > 0:22:28Mark went one better and made seven purchases, but only spent £475.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30But the name of the game here is profit,
0:22:30 > 0:22:32and as the day draws to a close,
0:22:32 > 0:22:35it's time for both our adventurous experts
0:22:35 > 0:22:38to return to base camp, warm up, and take stock of their haul.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41So, Mark, here we are, end of the day, how you feeling?
0:22:41 > 0:22:45I'm feeling like I need a big box of matches to give you a helping hand.
0:22:45 > 0:22:49What is going on with all this nasty wood? You loved that.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52That is rubbish, I don't like that at all. That's rubbish.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55What about this? I'm pretty annoyed because I did see that
0:22:55 > 0:22:57and I thought it was resin or plastic.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I just glanced at it, looked away, and it's not, is it?
0:23:00 > 0:23:02It's actually really nice.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04There's a certain likeness. If you put that on there...
0:23:04 > 0:23:08I see what you mean, I see what you mean.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Charles Darwin had a point, didn't he? It's a nice thing, good buy.
0:23:11 > 0:23:12So, hang on a second.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16The wood brace - do tell me that's by a very rare maker.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Yes, it's by I Don't Know.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But, pro-rata, out of everything here,
0:23:21 > 0:23:23that will make the biggest profit,
0:23:23 > 0:23:27because that cost me £1. Brace yourself. I'm braced.
0:23:27 > 0:23:32Well, I do wish you the best, but, erm, THAT is the winner.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35THAT is the sinner. I was going to say, I'll swap that for that!
0:23:35 > 0:23:37No, you're all right!
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Yes, the buying is over,
0:23:41 > 0:23:43and it's time to steam through the selling,
0:23:43 > 0:23:47as our dealer supremos head back to their respective homes
0:23:47 > 0:23:49to thaw out and think battle strategies.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Each is planning the other's destruction
0:23:51 > 0:23:54as they plot to get the most profit from their plunder.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Down in his Portsmouth bunker, John is warming up
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and inspecting his wares.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01So, what have we got here?
0:24:01 > 0:24:05Well, the only thing here I bought with somebody in mind
0:24:05 > 0:24:06was these boxing magazines.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10My Polson's biscuit mould is in good condition
0:24:10 > 0:24:14and I do actually like that. These other four items.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Well, starting with my fireman's door-rammer,
0:24:17 > 0:24:20then there are my Doulton stoneware window boxes.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Now, these are quite scarce
0:24:22 > 0:24:25and I bought them because I've never seen them before.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29Now, my monkey sculpture here is absolutely amazing.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32A tour de force of wood carving.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And then last, but by no means least,
0:24:34 > 0:24:36is my carved driftwood sculpture.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Finding a buyer might prove a little difficult, but do you know what,
0:24:40 > 0:24:42it's starting to grow on me.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46And if I do end up with it, well, I think I could live with it.
0:24:46 > 0:24:48It'll remind me of my fun days with Mark.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53This is no time to be sentimental, John - your rival certainly isn't,
0:24:53 > 0:24:57as back at his South London HQ, Mark is assessing his arsenal.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00Well, this is what I bought. I'm quite happy, really.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03First item I bought was in the morning,
0:25:03 > 0:25:04the rest were in the afternoon.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Now, the reason I bought this
0:25:06 > 0:25:09is that I know a guy called John Saunders,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11and it's a very similar name
0:25:11 > 0:25:13to what's written on the side of the carriage there
0:25:13 > 0:25:14that's got loads of fairground rides,
0:25:15 > 0:25:15that's got loads of fairground rides,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17so I'm hoping he'll have an interest in that.
0:25:21 > 0:25:22The watch - what a cracker. I know exactly where I'm going to go.
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Couple of guys that have got a shop. The taps?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Cuff links, looking at the style,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32they look like 1920s, 1940s, I've got a young lady for those.
0:25:32 > 0:25:33The horse and trap. I've got a couple of ideas.
0:25:34 > 0:25:35The horse and trap. I've got a couple of ideas.
0:25:35 > 0:25:36Here's a tale.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43managed to get lost on the way back here from the antique fair.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I've got somebody that wants to buy an investment for his godson -
0:26:01 > 0:26:03this may do the trick.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Yes, as it wasn't Mark's fault the presentation pack got lost,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07the Put Your Money games masters decided it's only fair
0:26:14 > 0:26:16So, the battle is back on,
0:26:16 > 0:26:16as both our experts hit the phones and search the internet
0:26:20 > 0:26:22to find the buyers who'll give them the best possible profit.
0:26:23 > 0:26:26But remember, no deal will be done until it's sealed with a handshake.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28It's John who's first to make a break.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32he's been canny enough to find a collector
0:26:36 > 0:26:37who's interested in not just one but both his wooden carvings.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39I'm in Southsea to meet car dealer Mark.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42No ordinary car dealer, he does like the weird and the wonderful,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45as you will see from the inside of his apartment.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46Now, the driftwood sculpture is already inside.
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Now, the driftwood sculpture is already inside.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50I've got a little monkey surprise -
0:26:50 > 0:26:52hopefully, two birds with one stone. Nice profit as well.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59certainly has an eye for the offbeat and oddball,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02but will John's £50 driftwood carving
0:27:02 > 0:27:08and the wooden monkey sculpture he paid £250 for tickle his fancy?
0:27:08 > 0:27:09What do you think? I do like it, actually.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14To start off with I thought it was resin, but it's made of wood. Do you know what, it's driftwood.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18Coincidently, nothing to do with you. His name's Mark. That's good, then.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20It complements my skull.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23He looks like a bit of a ghoul next to the skull
0:27:23 > 0:27:26but they kind of do go hand-in-hand. I do like it, surprisingly so.
0:27:26 > 0:27:30I got something else I want to show you... The monkeys. The monkeys.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33All right. Let's have a look at this.
0:27:33 > 0:27:34Now... That's unusual.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Have a look at this. You've got six individual monkey faces on there.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Each one carved with an individual expression. Yeah.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44It definitely is wood, isn't it?
0:27:44 > 0:27:47Do you know, Mark, I spent hours looking on the internet.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50I couldn't find anything like it. I've never seen anything like it.
0:27:50 > 0:27:55This is a complete one-off work of art. I think this is worth 550.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58That's 150, that 700 quid.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01If you were to buy both, I would do 650.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06I was going to say 550. Where you really? Would you do 600 quid?
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Go on, then. Yeah. Let's have a deal. £600.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13So our king of the jungle swings into a phenomenal profit
0:28:13 > 0:28:15of £300 for his two sculptures.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19But, up in London, local boy, Mark, is wasting no time
0:28:19 > 0:28:22trying to sell his £25 digital watch to repairer, Tim.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Hey, Tim, how is it going? Are you all right?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Listen, I've seen your beautiful new signs saying watch batteries.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33As I come here regularly, I thought I might be able to get a battery put in this little baby.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35What do you make of that? Wow, retro!
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Nice, isn't it? Yeah.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38What's the story with this watch?
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I bought it at an antiques fair
0:28:40 > 0:28:42and I bashed the guy down to £25 on the price.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I'm just looking to make a profit, really.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46If you are interested, make me an offer.
0:28:46 > 0:28:50We have had more people looking for retro watches.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54I think it will be quite a popular item.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56This seems to fit.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59Nothing's happening yet. It could just need a service.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01It looks in pretty good condition.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04The movement hasn't had any battery leakage in it.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06I think £30 would be my limit, though.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08OK, you've got a deal. Thank you very much.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11So Mark winds up a winner
0:29:11 > 0:29:12with his £5 profit on the watch.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14But, this fiver's only just begun
0:29:14 > 0:29:18and a pumped up John heads to a local boxing gym to try
0:29:18 > 0:29:21and sell his £100 vintage magazines to club trainers, Endra and Josh.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24But, what's this?
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Instead of selling, John seems to be indulging in his favourite hobby.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30So...
0:29:30 > 0:29:31Are you ready to do this?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Keep it clean.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Right...
0:29:36 > 0:29:37Oh, I almost forgot.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Hang on.
0:29:41 > 0:29:45Well, you said you were looking for something to decorate the club with.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48Josh, feast your eyes on these,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Boxing Illustrated and Boxing News.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54Ring magazines from 1948.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56What do you reckon. Yeah, brilliant.
0:29:56 > 0:29:57As you see, we need some colour for the walls.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Well, it is looking a bit bare, to be honest with you.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03You need to be inspired but I've saved the best till last.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Look at this...
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Boxing News 1911.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09The condition is exceptional.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12What sort of price have you got in mind?
0:30:12 > 0:30:14I reckon they are worth at least a fiver each.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16There's a couple of hundred quid.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19I'll offer you 150. 150.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21170?
0:30:21 > 0:30:22OK, 170.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I thought he was going to give me a harder fight than that, Josh.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29John makes £70 profit and with that killer glint in his eye,
0:30:29 > 0:30:32he's only got one man in his sights.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39The Hammerhead straight into training as he aims to become
0:30:39 > 0:30:41the Rocky of Relics.
0:30:41 > 0:30:46He's a lean, mean antiques selling machine and every muscle in his body
0:30:46 > 0:30:50is working for a common purpose, the annihilation of his opponent.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Yes, John might not be pulling any punches
0:30:54 > 0:30:57but Mark is quick to counter, as he sells his carpenter's brace
0:30:57 > 0:31:01to a hardware store in Wimbledon for a profit of £24.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Mark is on a roll.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Roll up, roll up, in fact, as he is straight off to the fair
0:31:06 > 0:31:10to sell his £55 painting to John, a fairground ride collector.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Well, John, I bought this at Peterborough antiques fair.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17As soon as I bought it, I thought of you.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I thought it said "Saunders".
0:31:19 > 0:31:21I misread it, to be honest but I thought it's so close,
0:31:21 > 0:31:24and you've got some form of swinging boats there.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27It's a nice watercolour, isn't it?
0:31:27 > 0:31:30That's exactly what it is, it's a watercolour. Yeah.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32It says on the back,
0:31:32 > 0:31:36"Pulling down the fairground, Uxbridge by Ernest Boswell 1948."
0:31:36 > 0:31:38It says on the front,
0:31:38 > 0:31:42"His family are from the fairground community."
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Go on, make me an offer. It cost me 55. Give us a profit.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Well, I don't know. How about 60 quid?
0:31:48 > 0:31:5065 and you've got a deal.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53All right, 65. Are you happy? Yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy, too.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56John will not be pushed on money. I know him from old.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59That's about as good as it gets.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01It's a profit and that's what counts.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Now, more importantly, let's have a go on the funfair ride.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06Ooh! I want to go faster!
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Ah!
0:32:07 > 0:32:09# Scream if you want to go faster. #
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Scream if you want to go faster?
0:32:11 > 0:32:15So Mark makes a merry profit of £10 on his fairground painting
0:32:15 > 0:32:17and, with that tenner in his pocket,
0:32:17 > 0:32:20it's time to see who on this roller coaster ride of selling
0:32:20 > 0:32:24has their hands in the air, enjoying the dizzy heights of success
0:32:24 > 0:32:27and who is stuck on the teacups, feeling a bit queasy.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34John has so far sold three items and made a huge profit of £370.
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Mark has also done three deals
0:32:37 > 0:32:41but is trailing behind with a profit of only £39.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46So in this topsy-turvy tale of buying and selling,
0:32:46 > 0:32:48John has left Mark a mountain to climb.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51But, in the strange world of antiques, anything can happen
0:32:51 > 0:32:55and Frank's determined not to play catch-up for long as he taps up
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Simon, a collector of antique bathroom fittings,
0:32:58 > 0:33:02looking for a profit on the £14 he paid for his Victorian mixer.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05All right, Mark, pull up a pan.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Oh, smashing, I don't mind if I do, this is very nice.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Now, listen, I know that your experience is much vaster than mine
0:33:13 > 0:33:16but I've bought a few... You see those taps with the mixers?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I've bought a few of those in my time.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22But these I've never seen anything like it before.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Can I show it to you because I've not seen anything of the like.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Please fill me in.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29Well, I do know what they are.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31I have to admit they are very rare.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36But, believe it or not, I collect salesmen's samples of old baths and loos, as well. Yeah.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39I have an extremely rare salesman sample that shows
0:33:39 > 0:33:42how that tap works and it's all correct and complete.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Please show me.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47This is a bath with a wash basin built-in.
0:33:47 > 0:33:51It was for rooms which were very small, trying to save on space.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53The idea is you turn the taps on there
0:33:53 > 0:33:57and if the spout is pointing that way, it fills the basin
0:33:57 > 0:34:02and if you turn the spout that way, fills the bath. That is fantastic.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04Would you be interested in buying that?
0:34:04 > 0:34:07Well, we don't actually sell restored sanitary ware any more,
0:34:07 > 0:34:10only brand-new exact replicas. Yeah.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13But, I can't resist buying things for myself.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15I've got something like 1,000 pairs of taps
0:34:15 > 0:34:18but I don't think I've got... I shouldn't be saying this!
0:34:18 > 0:34:20No, you should be saying this!
0:34:20 > 0:34:22My hand is ready to shake, what do you want to pay for them?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Well, I mean...
0:34:24 > 0:34:26What would you say to £80?
0:34:26 > 0:34:28£80, they're sold to you. Nice and easy.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33So Mark has reason to be flush as he reached a £66 reward
0:34:33 > 0:34:37on the Victorian mixer taps and closes the gap on his rival.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39John Cameron...
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Flushed away.
0:34:41 > 0:34:45Mark's selling streak continues as he shifts the gold cuff links
0:34:45 > 0:34:47to a jeweller for a profit of £10
0:34:47 > 0:34:49but Mr Cameron is no slouch.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52He's hoping antiques dealer, Ian, will be able to tell him
0:34:52 > 0:34:56more about those rare Doulton planters he paid £100 for.
0:34:56 > 0:34:58Hello, mate, how are you? Very well, thanks.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01Let me put these down, they are rather heavy.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03What are those, Victorian CD holders?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05JOHN CHUCKLES
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I've got to confess, I've never seen them before
0:35:07 > 0:35:09but I know you know architectural antiques.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11They are sectional, Doulton,
0:35:11 > 0:35:14like a window box, really.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I think it was to go indoors, rather than outdoors.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20When they're glazed, they're usually for inside. For a posh house.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23OK, that's interesting. What do you reckon, 1900?
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Yeah, I was thinking the end of the Victorian period.
0:35:25 > 0:35:29I quite like these. You do? I think they're good.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32We have always got to get down to the nitty-gritty. How much are they?
0:35:32 > 0:35:34I think they're probably worth 200 quid.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37What about 150 quid, John.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Would you do 170? 160 and I'll have a deal.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Ian, 160.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Yes, another £60 in profit for John's planters.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Now, Mark, might be slightly off the pace but he's hoping his £75
0:35:50 > 0:35:54horse and trap toy might get him back in the selling saddle.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57I'm in Woodmansterne to see an old mate of mine, Andy.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01He's nearly six foot four tall but he's interested in buying this.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04I don't think he's really going to fit in it but I don't care,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06I just want his money.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Come on.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10Andy, how are you doing? How are you doing, Mark?
0:36:10 > 0:36:14Please explain, why do you want this? Honestly? Yeah.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Who's this? That's my son, Levi. Levi, come here.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21What do you think of this?
0:36:21 > 0:36:22Good. Good.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Can you ride it, that's the problem?
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Go on then, show me.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Well, Andy, we need to start talking about money because,
0:36:29 > 0:36:32I tell you one thing, I'm not taking it back off of him.
0:36:32 > 0:36:35Come on, let's have a ride in this. Let's see how it goes.
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Come on then, mate. Go on. Walk on. Walk on.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40I think the thing is, Andy... Yeah?
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Levi is not being taken off that horse and cart by me. No.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47He's going to have that, isn't he, Mark? He's got to, hasn't he? Yeah.
0:36:47 > 0:36:48How old is it?
0:36:48 > 0:36:51It's got to be of age. I'd say it's 30 years old.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53It's not brand-new but it's not antique.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55I think we will have to start talking about money
0:36:55 > 0:36:57and I don't like talking about money. Do you want 40 quid for it?
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Leave off! For your boy? 100 quid.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03I'll tell you what, you're a generous bloke, you are a good fellow
0:37:03 > 0:37:06and you now own two horses and Levi is happy.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Mark, I couldn't take it off him, anyway.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11If you had said £1,000, I'd have had to give that for it.
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Now you tell me!
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Mark! You old softy. You should have pushed him harder.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19But he still rides away with a profit of £25.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22John is also looking to be rolling in the dough
0:37:22 > 0:37:25as he heads off to set up a sweet deal.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27I'm in the heart of the Dorset countryside
0:37:27 > 0:37:31to see chef Lesley Waters at her renowned cookery school
0:37:31 > 0:37:34and what better home for my biscuit mould.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I'm hoping to teach Lesley one or two things about kitchenalia
0:37:36 > 0:37:41and pick up one or two tips about making biscuits in the process.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45John paid £60 for his biscuit mould but will he get a tasty profit?
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Excuse me, Miss, am I late for class?
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Hello. How are you?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Good to see you. It's lovely to see you.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55What have you got for me today, you naughty boy?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58I've brought along a biscuit mould.
0:37:58 > 0:37:59Here we are.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02It's a shortbread mould by Brown & Polson.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05Do you know anything about Brown & Polson's? No.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09Brown & Polson's, very successful up in Paisley.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13This is a genuine piece of advertising ware.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15The mark would suggest with that Made In England
0:38:15 > 0:38:17that we are looking probably into war period.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Maybe 1920s, 1925, something like that.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24I'm assuming that it makes one hell of a biscuit?
0:38:24 > 0:38:25THEY GIGGLE
0:38:25 > 0:38:27The sort of biscuit I'D eat!
0:38:27 > 0:38:30Certainly I'd like to put that to the challenge.
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Do you think we could roll...
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Could we get that in there?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36YOU can do it. I was going to say you've got to make me do it. You can do it.
0:38:36 > 0:38:41And it's ready, steady, profit as John is made to work for his money.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44OK, Lesley, this could be the make or break of my prize, couldn't it?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Yes, it could be.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Look at that wonderful, golden brown...
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Yes, antiques supremo and domestic God!
0:38:53 > 0:38:56But John's biggest talent of all, cooking up a delicious profit.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59It pains me to have to talk turkey.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Well, let's talk shortbread, then.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05I think is probably worth about 120,
0:39:05 > 0:39:08in that condition. Let's go with 110.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Oh! You're a wonderful person.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14Because your rolling was exceptional. 110, that's very kind.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15110.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Yes, John takes the biscuit as he makes a profit of £50.
0:39:19 > 0:39:23He then piles even more pressure on Mark as he makes a further £100
0:39:23 > 0:39:27selling his fireman's rammer to Paul, an ex-fireman.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31Mark has one last roll of the dice to take this competition and
0:39:31 > 0:39:34he's putting all his hopes on his coin and note presentation pack.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36He thinks he may have found the perfect buyer
0:39:36 > 0:39:38but is it too little, too late?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42So I'm back in Wimbledon to see my mate, Ritchie.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45He asked me to find something for his godson
0:39:45 > 0:39:47that would go up in value in the future.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49I've got the gold coin, let's see if I can sell it to him.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Now, Ritchie, you said to me
0:39:51 > 0:39:55you are looking for something for your godson.
0:39:55 > 0:39:57I ideally want something for my godson. He's five.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Something he can maybe sell.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02Something that's going to go up in value.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04Sell it, go on holiday, towards a car, something like that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06So not now, in a few years' time?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Yeah, yeah, yeah, in about 15 years' time. Perfect.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I might have found the right thing. This is what I found, OK.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14What this actually is,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17is a limited edition.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19It's to commemorate the Duke of Wellington.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21It's a £5 note.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25This is in mint condition, it's in a case, as you can see inside there.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27It's never been touched by human hands.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29The stamp, which again,
0:40:29 > 0:40:33this is the 150 years anniversary of the Duke of Wellington.
0:40:33 > 0:40:34That's in there, as well.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36And, a gold sovereign, as well.
0:40:36 > 0:40:41Gold, over the last five years has just quadrupled and gone up
0:40:41 > 0:40:44sort of so much that I believe it will carry on going that way.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47What do you think? I think it's very nice. Very nice.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50At the end of the day I paid 250 for it.
0:40:50 > 0:40:52I know you're a generous guy. I know you love your godson.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55I don't know how much you love him, only your wallet will tell me.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58Mark is relying on a generous offer from Ritchie,
0:40:58 > 0:41:01but will the gold turn him into today's champion,
0:41:01 > 0:41:04or will his hopes of winning melt away.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06All will soon be revealed.
0:41:06 > 0:41:11John and Mark both started out with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:41:11 > 0:41:15John made six deals and spent a total of £610.
0:41:15 > 0:41:20Mark picked up seven purchases and paid £475.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23But all that matters now is who's made the most profit?
0:41:23 > 0:41:27All the money from today's challenge will go to our dealers' chosen charities.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29Let's find out who is today's
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35How are you doing, John? Are you all right, mate?
0:41:35 > 0:41:38Good to see you, good to see you. How are you doing? Yes, not bad.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40How did you get on at the antiques fair, then?
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Oh... It was OK.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I got off to a bit of a stuttering start but I think I did all right.
0:41:45 > 0:41:46How about you?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Thomas Crapper, I sold the taps to. Very good.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51He bought the taps off me and that was the best profit of the day,
0:41:51 > 0:41:53believe it or not, out of all that stuff.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Interestingly, the two things I thought would be the hardest to sell,
0:41:56 > 0:42:01my driftwood sculpture, which you loved, and my monkey sculpture,
0:42:01 > 0:42:03those two were in fact the easiest things to sell.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06They were quite unusual. I didn't do too badly with them.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10Are you ready to reveal the results? Better now than never.
0:42:10 > 0:42:11OK, ready, steady, go!
0:42:12 > 0:42:14Whoo! Wow, that's very good, John.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18That's a lot of profit, mate. What did you do with my horse and cart?
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Yes, John is today's winner
0:42:20 > 0:42:23and, why, because Mark just didn't push hard enough on his gold coin.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26What about 280? Deal.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Thank you very much, indeed.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30Thank you and I really hope... He doesn't lose it!
0:42:30 > 0:42:32And although he made a £30 profit,
0:42:32 > 0:42:35it just couldn't put him into pole position.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40John really cracked it there, nearly £600, it's a lot of money.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42I'm pleased with the profit I made.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46I didn't make any stonking big profits but a profit is a profit.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Well, I'm very pleased with the profit I made at the antiques fair
0:42:49 > 0:42:51and I had some fun in the process.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I did very well with the monkey sculpture
0:42:53 > 0:42:56and a piece that I really wanted to keep, but did good profits with,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59was my Mark Franks driftwood piece.
0:42:59 > 0:43:03Tomorrow Mark has his chance to stage a comeback
0:43:03 > 0:43:06when our dynamic duo go head-to-head against each other
0:43:06 > 0:43:09at an auction in Leicestershire.
