0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:03 > 0:00:07the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:07 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit...
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's make hay while that sun shines.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16..and gives you the insider's view of the trade.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18Who's there?!
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:21 > 0:00:23will face a different daily challenge...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27The original cheeky chappie! Lavvly!
0:00:27 > 0:00:30..putting their reputations on the line...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32And I truly rock it.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36..and giving you their top tips and savvy secrets
0:00:36 > 0:00:40on how to make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41Get in there!
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Today, the dapper but dastardly David Harper takes on the masterful
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and mighty Mark Stacey at an antiques fair in Norfolk.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Coming up, Mark is the victim of some cunning salesmanship...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57She only paid 50p for it.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00The rotter! I've been done again!
0:01:00 > 0:01:02..David rips up the rule book...
0:01:02 > 0:01:03I don't care.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07..and Mark makes a schoolboy selling slip-up.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09If you are going to sell somebody something,
0:01:09 > 0:01:13it is a good idea to take the price you paid off the back first.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31Today, our mighty money men
0:01:31 > 0:01:33are gearing up for a Clash of the Titans.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Under the unforgiving glare of the Norfolk sun,
0:01:36 > 0:01:38our feisty fighters are hot on the trail
0:01:38 > 0:01:43of the tastiest treasures, going all-out for one thing -
0:01:43 > 0:01:44premium profit.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46In the scorching temperatures,
0:01:46 > 0:01:49this awesome challenge will push them to the limit.
0:01:49 > 0:01:50But only one man can win,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53so who will wilt in the heat and end up in a sweaty mess?
0:01:53 > 0:01:56And who will blossom in the golden rays
0:01:56 > 0:01:59and emerge the bronzed baron of the barter?
0:01:59 > 0:02:03First up, a master tactician from the North of England.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06He's cool under the collar, calm in his collecting
0:02:06 > 0:02:09and when he spots a demon deal, he takes no prisoners.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12He's Barnard Castle's biggest bargain bagger,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15'Devilish' David Harper.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17This to me is absolute heaven.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21But he has stiff opposition from the Sussex coast.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25His challenger is a finely-tuned negotiating machine.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27Always poised and ready to pounce,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30he's lightning fast and can be quite catty.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Racing in from Brighton,
0:02:32 > 0:02:34it's Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39I hope to club his profits down.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43So, it's North versus South and the battleground is sort of halfway -
0:02:43 > 0:02:47an antiques fair at the Norfolk Showground just outside Norwich.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Our two profit-seeking missiles
0:02:49 > 0:02:52must use their supreme negotiating nous
0:02:52 > 0:02:54to stop the mercury rising still further,
0:02:54 > 0:02:58but someone is bound to get a bit red in the face.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Well, I'm up against 'Devilish' David Harper, and I've just found
0:03:01 > 0:03:03this pot, which is uncannily like him.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07And, in this heat, if he doesn't keep that suntan lotion on,
0:03:07 > 0:03:10he's going to end up like a big fruit.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12SPOOKY LAUGH
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Yes, sun cream at the ready.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Both Mark and David have brought £750 of their own money to spend
0:03:18 > 0:03:20and when they've bought their haul,
0:03:20 > 0:03:23they must sell it on for as much as humanly possible.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25And let's hope they're dripping in deals,
0:03:25 > 0:03:29because any profit they make will go straight to their chosen charities.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33So, David Harper and Mark Stacey, wallets at the ready,
0:03:33 > 0:03:36it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39- Oh, no, no.- Oh, David, no.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- Mark, please! That is illegal. - Well, I don't know about that.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Listen, I know we're in mustard country,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48but really, David, you don't have to buy mustard trousers.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Pink trousers were yesterday's news.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Mustard is the new pink.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56But, white? What's your strategy?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59I've decided to blend in and become...
0:04:01 > 0:04:04..a Norfolk broad. What do you think, David? Is it me?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I think you should go with it, Mark. I think it suits you.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10- Thank you. - I think you will look like a native,
0:04:10 > 0:04:12and they're going to absolutely love you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15- David, I think...- Best of luck(!)
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Don't be rude! Happy hunting.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19- But not too happy. - OK, well, what a pair we look.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Don't look at my legs. - I don't want to look at your legs!
0:04:22 > 0:04:23Yes, you do!
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Hmm, anyone got a mirror for Mark?
0:04:25 > 0:04:28So, will the feather boa help his haggling?
0:04:28 > 0:04:31His sartorial senses may have been left in Sussex,
0:04:31 > 0:04:33but let's hope Mark's knockout knowledge
0:04:33 > 0:04:35is still punching above its weight.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Sensational deals are the order of the day,
0:04:38 > 0:04:39no matter what he looks like.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Here's a little tip for you.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44Now, I know that's Chinese straightaway,
0:04:44 > 0:04:47because it says so on the back - China.
0:04:47 > 0:04:48Yes, very impressive.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51David must be quaking in his boots(!)
0:04:51 > 0:04:53No ruffled feathers with Mr Harper.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56In fact, whippet-like, no sooner is he out of the traps
0:04:56 > 0:05:00than he spies an intricate piece of trench art.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Just imagine, First World War, 1914-1918,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06all the suffering and the dreadfulness
0:05:06 > 0:05:08going on in the trenches,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12and at the very same time that was going on,
0:05:12 > 0:05:16somebody was making this - a copy of an armoured car.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18That decoration on the top there is a cheap,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20mass-produced brass tobacco tin,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22probably sent to the troops
0:05:22 > 0:05:24in little food packages and that kind of thing,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28and then he's made the running boards out of shell casings
0:05:28 > 0:05:29sent over by the Germans.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Hang on, it's a flip top! It's not just a car, is it?
0:05:32 > 0:05:35My Lord! What's that? Inkwells.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Would 80 quid buy it?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38110.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39Mmm.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41105.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48So, David shakes on his first deal and we're up and running,
0:05:48 > 0:05:52but it already seems the heat is getting to our Norfolk broad.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It's far too warm for all this.
0:05:54 > 0:05:55Such a drag!
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yes, that's certainly one way to describe it.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01But, ditching his very fetching feathers soon pays off
0:06:01 > 0:06:05as Mark find something else to get hot and bothered about.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06These are rather fun.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08They're not terribly old,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11but they're a pair of little salt and peppers,
0:06:11 > 0:06:13and you've P and S on there for pepper and salt.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16But they look like little auctioneer's gavels,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19and auctioneers do like things relating to their profession,
0:06:19 > 0:06:21so if they're quite reasonable, I think we might be able
0:06:21 > 0:06:24to shake a profit out of these. COMEDY DRUM ROLL
0:06:24 > 0:06:26These are a bit of fun, aren't they?
0:06:26 > 0:06:27Yeah, I think they're probably 1960s.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30As they're not terribly old, I'm sure they're quite reasonable.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- Very reasonable.- Are they? How reasonable?- £5 note.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36£5 note?! Put it there.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39I can't argue with a fiver, I think that's quite a savoury deal.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42No arguments from 'The Maverick', he's clearly delighted
0:06:42 > 0:06:44and both our boys are now off and running.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48But there's still a long way to go. Absolutely anything could happen.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51David has already spotted his next potential purchase -
0:06:51 > 0:06:55two glass stands marked up at £50 the pair.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00The only way I could get mega excited about them
0:07:00 > 0:07:01is on a financial basis.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03- Oh, really?- Yeah.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Can they be devastatingly cheap?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Because, let me tell you, they were devastatingly...
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- I'm worried about this. - They were devastatingly cheap
0:07:11 > 0:07:14when they were made, about three hours ago.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And they're devastatingly cheap now at £25 each.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Gorgeous, come on, I think you're going to be easier to deal with.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Oh, the oldest trick in the book -
0:07:24 > 0:07:27if the man won't help, flatter his good lady wife instead.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- What do you think about these objects?- I think they're fabulous.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- You do not!- Because they're glass and they're not plastic.
0:07:34 > 0:07:35OK, that's true.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And we can do a good price, can't we?
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- This is what I'm trying to get at, you see?- I feel a bit ill, really.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44I think we could do them for 35.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- I don't think I could....- And I know what you're going to say now.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49- What am I going to say? - "Will you do 30?"
0:07:49 > 0:07:52- No, I'll say, "Will you do 20?" - SHE GASPS
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- 28 we'll do.- Go on, then, thank you very much indeed.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56- Thank you.- I needed your help there,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58cos he was going to get too hard.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01I've only bought them because I think I can make a profit,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- that's the only reason. - Well, you will now!
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Well, David, that is the whole point of the game.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08Not the easiest deal, but he racks up his second purchase at £28,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11pulling out ahead of Mark once again.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13But he may not stay out in front,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16because Mark has spied a slender sporting spoon.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- That's rather fun, the golfing spoon. Is that silver?- It is, yeah.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- And it's a woman golfer, isn't it? - Yes, it might have been a trophy.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- Is that heck-ishly expensive? - That's 65.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Can I just have a look, do you mind?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35There's a nice silver hallmark.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38The gentleman has just handed me an eyeglass.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Yes, it's hallmarked for Birmingham.
0:08:41 > 0:08:46But I have also spotted something else, which I absolutely adore.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48And it is this fabulous buckle here.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Made for Liberty & Co, fully hallmarked.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57And I just love all the turquoise and green enamel.
0:08:57 > 0:09:01The ticket price is £350. Now, is that a lot of money?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Not really, not for something which is handmade
0:09:04 > 0:09:06and produced over 100 years ago.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- What is the price of this? - I could do that for 50.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12- 50.- Yes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14And the buckle...
0:09:14 > 0:09:16270.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I was hoping to get the two for £300.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Yeah, I could do the two for 300.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Well, let's shake hands on it, thank you so much.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Mark engages an antique tactic and saves himself masses of money.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32By doing a double deal, he's knocked a whopping £115 off
0:09:32 > 0:09:35the original total asking price.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Fair play, Mr Stacey.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The golfing spoon, I'm going to have to find a world-class lady
0:09:40 > 0:09:44golf champion with oodles of money and wants a quality item,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47a silver spoon, if of course she hasn't been
0:09:47 > 0:09:49awarded one of them already.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52Yes, already thinking about how he'll make a profit -
0:09:52 > 0:09:54a master dealer at work right there.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57But that's a hefty investment for Mark,
0:09:57 > 0:09:59leaving David on the back foot.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Not that he's fazed - he's hoping to cash in.
0:10:02 > 0:10:08That was made in the days when things were made to last for ever.
0:10:08 > 0:10:09Can I have a go?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Look at that, oh, my goodness, the sound.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16So, made in the States, but for our market,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18because it's got the English currency.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21The Americans were fantastic making certain objects,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25things like this and, bizarrely, watches and clocks.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Not many people know that.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28So it's not going to be 300 quid, is it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30I didn't think it was, worth a try.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34No deal for David, the asking price is way out of his range.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36He'll have to get back to trawling the stalls,
0:10:36 > 0:10:40as that Mark Stacey is starting to run away with himself.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42This is rather fun.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46And old barrel, which is nicely coopered with a sort of brass.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50Nice handles on it. And inside you have a lead bucket.
0:10:50 > 0:10:54So you can either use it as a sort of, I suppose,
0:10:54 > 0:10:55coal box by the fire, I suppose.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58If, of course, you're like me and from the soft South,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01you could possibly use it to keep your champagne chilling in.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03The stallholder's a little camera shy,
0:11:03 > 0:11:06so Mark disappears for a chat, but, quick as a flash, he's back.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Good news, I think, anyway. He'll do it for 30 quid.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I think that's a really good price, don't you?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14But as I am up against the 'Devilish' David Harper,
0:11:14 > 0:11:19who is remorseless in knocking these poor, innocent dealers down,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23I'm afraid I've done a bit of the same and got it for £25.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Glass of shampoo, anyone?
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Surely it's too early for a bit of bubbly, Mark!
0:11:27 > 0:11:30There's still a long way to go and anything can happen.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34While David continues scouring stalls, Mark is unstoppable,
0:11:34 > 0:11:37picking up an enamel badge bearing the name of a well-known shoemaker.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40He pays £7 and hot shoe shuffles us
0:11:40 > 0:11:43to the halfway stage in this buying battle.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Let's bring ourselves up to date with the figures.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Both our experts started the day
0:11:48 > 0:11:51with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53'Devilish' David Harper has had a slow start
0:11:53 > 0:11:56and isn't performing well under pressure.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So far he's only made two purchases.
0:11:58 > 0:12:04In total, he spent £133, leaving a mighty £617 in his kitty.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey has been blossoming in the heat.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11He's bought five items for £337,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14meaning he has still got £413 to spend.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18So, our boys take time out from their high-stakes hunt
0:12:18 > 0:12:20to see how the competition is faring.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22How are you doing?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25I'm doing very well. Actually, I'm not, I was lying.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27I should have been on my way home by now,
0:12:27 > 0:12:31I'm normally in, out, buy, gone. I think it's the heat.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Really?- Yes! - You're really suffering?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36It's not the trousers? All the energy's sunk down to the mustard?
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- They are very warm, I must say. - You see? Shorts.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Nice breeze up there, eh? How are you getting on?
0:12:41 > 0:12:45As a little novelty item, I like a little pair of salt and peppers,
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- but they're modelled as auctioneer's gavels.- Good!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52- They're not old.- Doesn't matter. - And not very much money.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54But let me tell you something, you think '60s is not very old,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57how about three weeks ago is not very old?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Can I just remind you?- Do. - It's an antique programme.- Is it?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02- Am I on the wrong show? - You're on the wrong show.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04- I'll see you later.- Bye.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Yes, good job someone's on message, and that sudden realisation
0:13:07 > 0:13:10with David seems to kick-start his resolve.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13He wastes no time in finding himself a genuine antique.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16That's a printing block,
0:13:16 > 0:13:20hand-carved out of two pieces of hardwood.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23And how many houses in the 18th or 19th century
0:13:23 > 0:13:26were decorated, in their wallpaper, by that?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29And how gorgeous is that?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32That's a proper antique and proof in the pudding
0:13:32 > 0:13:34that antiques are not expensive.
0:13:34 > 0:13:3612 quid - I'm having it.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39David heads off for a chat with the seller
0:13:39 > 0:13:42and, true to form, can't resist a little haggle.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45Never mind 12 quid - £8 for that.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50You can't tell me that isn't an absolute fabulous bargain.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52Yes, David makes another devilish deal,
0:13:52 > 0:13:54securing a third off the asking price,
0:13:54 > 0:13:57but maybe he should stop throwing his antiques up in the air.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00He may be off and running, but can David build on his success
0:14:00 > 0:14:03with the next item he spots - a fire screen?
0:14:03 > 0:14:08A piece of Japanese furniture from circa 1920
0:14:08 > 0:14:11in the kind of condition and form I like to find them.
0:14:11 > 0:14:14The fire screen is marked up at £10
0:14:14 > 0:14:16and, at that price, David doesn't argue.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18I'll have it, thank you very much indeed.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22So our demon dealer is back in the game with four buys to Mark's five.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26'The Maverick' may still hold the lead, but he's taking no chances.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29He won't let David's sudden success unsettle him.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31His next find is a Wedgwood plate.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35I don't normally buy modern Wedgwood Jasper Ware,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39even though it's quite good quality, but I do have a couple of friends
0:14:39 > 0:14:43whose initials are G, and they are known together as "Gigi".
0:14:43 > 0:14:45And look what's written on there.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49I just think that would be rather fun, to try and sell them to Gigi.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51But it is £8.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Can we get that for a good price?
0:14:54 > 0:14:59OK, well it's eight on it, and five would be the lowest I could go on.
0:14:59 > 0:15:00HE GASPS £5?!
0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Well, I think that's a pretty good price.- £5?!
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Yes, I think that's pretty good.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07I'll have it, thank you very much. £5.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10There we are, a Gigi for £5. It's on the nose.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- I only paid 50p for it. - HE GASPS
0:15:14 > 0:15:18She only paid 50p for it! The rotter! I've been done again!
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Oh, that hurts!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22The lady is definitely the winner there.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Let's hope 'The Maverick' will follow her example
0:15:24 > 0:15:26and make a similar mark-up.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30So, with Mr Stacey racking up the purchases, you'd think Mr Harper
0:15:30 > 0:15:34would be desperate to keep up, digging deep to deliver the deals.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Instead, it looks like he's taking a load off.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Surely there must be more to this than meets the eye.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Hello.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43- Do you own these chairs?- Yes.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Come and talk to me about them. Aren't they fabulous?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- They are lovely.- Have a sit down.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Welcome to my office.- Nice! - I'm David.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Hello, David, nice to meet you. - What is your name?- Sue.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Hello, Sue. These are great, aren't they?
0:15:56 > 0:15:57Nice and squidgy.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00You sit there, you just look gorgeous,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02don't worry, Sue, I'll do all the work, right?
0:16:02 > 0:16:05All I want to do is just check their condition.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- Now, would you mind terribly if I just peeled away a little bit?- No.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10What I want to do...
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Sue, I'm just going to go for it, cos I don't care,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- I'm going to buy them anyway, I don't care.- David Harper!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18What sheer reckless abandon,
0:16:18 > 0:16:21ripping away the base without even agreeing a price!
0:16:21 > 0:16:26This lady could now ask the Earth! You must be super confident.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29no woodworm, fantastically put together,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32springs don't need fixing, which would cost you a lot of money -
0:16:32 > 0:16:34it's ready to go.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Sue, they're £45 each, I want them desperately.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38- How much can I have them for? - £80 for the two.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41If you give me a tenner off, only cos I'm in love with them.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45- 70 for the two.- Go on, then. - Marvellous, thank you very much.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46What a generous lady,
0:16:46 > 0:16:49watching her chairs getting ripped open like that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50But they are David's chairs now
0:16:50 > 0:16:53and he clearly thinks he can spring a profit on them.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Only time will tell.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Mark is pushing on with his prize perusal,
0:16:57 > 0:17:00and before long he spots a pair of candlesticks
0:17:00 > 0:17:02with ladybird detailing.
0:17:02 > 0:17:03There is a superstition, of course,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06that a swarm of ladybirds brings fair weather.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08We've certainly got that here in Norfolk.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12But does it constitute a fair profit? I'm not sure.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16There's only one way to find out, really - to try and buy them.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Darling, I do like these a lot. Come and talk to me, be nice to me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Only if I get a cuddle.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24You'll have a cuddle, come and have a cuddle.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26It is hot.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Oh, Mark Stacey! You shameless flirt!
0:17:28 > 0:17:32But will a little cuddle help get a discount off the £25 asking price?
0:17:32 > 0:17:36- Could I possibly get them for 20? - Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Come here.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41I wish I'd said 15. I was too easy.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- Would you like me to wrap them for you?- In a minute.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- All right then. - Just have another cuddle.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Oh, for goodness' sake! Enough with the cuddling!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Come on, Mark, there's work to be done. Tell us what you've got.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54We have a pair of West Country pottery candlesticks
0:17:54 > 0:17:57made by the factory Aller Vale,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01probably around 1890, 1910, that sort of period.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03And I think they're rather tasty
0:18:03 > 0:18:06and there should be quite a profit out of that.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07It'll really bug me if I don't.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09It's getting late in the day
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and our gunslingers need to focus their minds.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14David in particular needs to shoot from the hip
0:18:14 > 0:18:16and lasso another purchase.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18And there's some things he can't take his eyes off -
0:18:18 > 0:18:21a turn of the century horse-drawn governess cart.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26You know what? I've never, ever bought a cart in my whole life.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I've bought hundreds of vintage cars, but I've never bought
0:18:30 > 0:18:34the grandfather of the vintage car, which is the cart.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Who on Earth am I going to sell a cart to?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39I don't know, I've never sold one before.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41The owner of the cart isn't at the fair,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44so David gives him a ring to see if he can strike a deal.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47'I'm looking to get 450 for the cart.'
0:18:48 > 0:18:52I was hoping - this is terrible and I feel so guilty -
0:18:52 > 0:18:55I was hoping kind of 250-ish, is that too bad?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58'My rock bottom is 350.'
0:18:58 > 0:19:00You know what, Paul?
0:19:00 > 0:19:05For £350, if I walked away from this cart at 350,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I would forever live in regret, so I'm going to say to you,
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Paul, I own your cart, thank you very much.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Well, well! That's the biggest deal of the day by far!
0:19:15 > 0:19:18David's just spent nearly half his total budget,
0:19:18 > 0:19:20and he's going to need an ingenious plan
0:19:20 > 0:19:23to get that all the way back to County Durham.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I do believe I could probably pull it myself.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29What, all the way to Barnard Castle?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31That's the best part of 200 miles, man!
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Still, each to his own.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36David carts off the cart and winds up the day's buying bonanza.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39So, before they check out each other's items,
0:19:39 > 0:19:41let's focus on the figures.
0:19:41 > 0:19:44Both our experts came to Norfolk
0:19:44 > 0:19:46with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48'Devilish' David Harper had a slow start
0:19:48 > 0:19:51but an almighty spend in the end.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Six deals done and dusted for £571.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey had a more even and steady day.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00keeping his cool throughout,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03he bought seven items in total for £362.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06So, after a hectic day's haggling,
0:20:06 > 0:20:08how are our fearsome fighters feeling?
0:20:08 > 0:20:10What do you think?
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- These are really comfy. - Aren't they just?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16- Period Art Deco chairs. - These are nice.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19- How much did I pay for them? - I don't know, 100 quid.- 70 quid.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Well, I think there's a profit there, David.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23- The car thing.- Yes.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27First World War, made out of cigarette tobacco tins
0:20:27 > 0:20:33and shell casings, so these are early 20th-century tobacco tins.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- But you've only bought... - Sorry, I've forgotten.- ..five items.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38OK, hang on, wait there.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- Close your eyes. - HE SIGHS
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- I know you need a new car... - Oh, there's an insult...
0:20:44 > 0:20:46..so I've come to help you.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- There's an insult coming. - Turn round, Mark.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51I've bought something I've never bought in my life before.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53It's a circa 1900 cart.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55And you'd never want to buy it again.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56I probably never will, no!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59- What on Earth?- It's fabulous!
0:20:59 > 0:21:01What do you reckon then? That's me done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- Do you want to know what I bought? - I do.- Golfing spoon.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- 1920s, with a lady golfer, solid silver.- That's very good.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Anything with a sporting connection, and it's rare with a female golfer.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14The Wedgwood is funny, because I've got friends who are known as Gigi.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16What does it say on there?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Gigi, funnily enough, which is why I bought it.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21- My best piece, to be honest with you...- The Wedgwood?!
0:21:21 > 0:21:23No. The little buckle.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25- Liberty.- Liberty?- Liberty & Co.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- Mark, it's been a lovely day. - It has been wonderful.
0:21:28 > 0:21:29- Thank you, David. - Do you want a lift home?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32I wouldn't mind, actually, I'll get in the back.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39Now our persistent purchasers must turn their special powers
0:21:39 > 0:21:42from buying to selling, as they throw off their collecting cloaks
0:21:42 > 0:21:45to reveal the super sellers beneath.
0:21:45 > 0:21:46But before we kick off the selling,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50our dealers return to their respective retreats
0:21:50 > 0:21:52to draw up their road maps to victory.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Back in his Barnard Castle base, David is inspecting his stash.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Here we are in my garden on a very lovely, albeit quite breezy, day.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04But it's given me time to admire my purchases.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Come on, look at the cloud backed period Art Deco chairs.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10The two glass stands -
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I wasn't in love with them when I bought them.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14I now am in love.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Oh, the car!
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I've got a specialist car collector, possibly, in mind for that one.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24The stamp. That is great, I really want to see that thing in action.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28You can get an idea of the design, but to put some paint on that
0:22:28 > 0:22:31and then on to wallpaper will literally bring it to life.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36The Japanese screen. That is for nothing, £10.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40And how could I forget to mention
0:22:40 > 0:22:44the most fantastic cart I have ever seen?
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Am I going to make a profit? I don't know.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49But in many ways it's fantastic.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Well, fantastic it may be,
0:22:51 > 0:22:54but it's profit that will win or lose the game.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57Mark is down south in his Brighton bunker,
0:22:57 > 0:22:59thinking about potential buyers.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02These are my purchases from the Norfolk antiques fair,
0:23:02 > 0:23:04which I'm quite pleased with.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I'm not sure if I'm going to make huge profits on them,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08but you know what they say -
0:23:08 > 0:23:10the best things come in small packages.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14Though I have got interest in the little clerk's badge there,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18and in the Liberty, and possibly in the candlesticks.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21I don't want to be too complacent, as I tell you, a couple of things
0:23:21 > 0:23:23I am struggling with, particularly the golfing spoon.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27I thought that would fly out, but so far...
0:23:27 > 0:23:29it's not a hole-in-one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32I almost forgot - I'm sitting on one of the things,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34the oak coal bucket with the seat on it.
0:23:34 > 0:23:40This I think is definitely sold, so all in all it's looking pretty good.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Mark must also remember his salt and pepper set
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and the Gigi Wedgwood plate.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Our daring duo get researching, calling and zooming off
0:23:48 > 0:23:51to turn every purchase into a profit.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55But remember, until they've shaken on it, no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57It's David that's first off the blocks
0:23:57 > 0:23:58and he's opening with the big one.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02He's taken his cart to a nearby organic farm shop.
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Look at this.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07You know, this business sometimes isn't that profitable,
0:24:07 > 0:24:08but it's good exercise.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I've come to this wonderful location
0:24:10 > 0:24:14to try and find a man who will hopefully by my governess cart.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17David paid a whopping £350 for the cart,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21but will the shop's owner, Peter, like it enough to pay more?
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- How are your melons, Peter? - Hi, David.- Are you well?
0:24:24 > 0:24:28- Nice to see you, yes, fine, thank you.- How is the growing shed doing?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Great. We have a lot of stuff, peppers, melons, as you can see.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Can't believe we're growing melons in Teesdale.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35We're growing lots of stuff.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39What you need is a fabulous cart to show off all your organically
0:24:39 > 0:24:42grown vegetables and fruits, Peter.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Come on, I'll show you.- OK. - This is a special cart.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Three, two, one, feast your eyes, Peter.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Oh, God, that's quite smart. - It's quite posh.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59It's the sort of thing you'd take your children to Sunday school in.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02It's the Sunday school run, yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Circa... I suppose it's 1900, isn't it?
0:25:05 > 0:25:06Around about that period, yeah.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- 1880, 1890, 1900, something like that. But it's quite posh.- It is.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14Yeah. Would you say that's beech? You know your wood.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- Beech is a hardwood, isn't it? - I would say it's oak, actually.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, that's even better. You're building the price, Peter.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- No, you're right.- No, I think it's a mixture of both.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Do you think so? What are your thoughts? Talk to me.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'm getting a bit nervous here,
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- because I don't want to take it back!- All right!
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Look, back door, fill it with veggies.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37It's incredibly light and so well built.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- You can put it inside, I think. - I think it'll have to go inside,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I think it'll definitely go downhill quick if it stayed outside.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46It would have to be really well lacquered to leave it outside.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48How would you value something like that,
0:25:48 > 0:25:49what figure would come to mind?
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- I'll give you 550 for it. - Would you go 675?
0:25:53 > 0:25:54I think that's a little bit steep.
0:25:54 > 0:26:00- I think the most I would go to is probably 625.- 625.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03I'll meet you bang in the middle at 650, how's that?
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- Done.- Top man. Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Well, what a start!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Wheeler dealer David gallops off
0:26:10 > 0:26:13with a cracking opening profit of £300.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Which means that from the get go, Mark has a lot of catching up to do.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19But he's a man with a plan.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21And first he turns his attention
0:26:21 > 0:26:24to the ladybird candlesticks that cost him £20.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27I'm here to see Becky from Wellingham Herb Company,
0:26:27 > 0:26:30who specialise in luxury candles.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34And I hope they want my luxury candlesticks to go with them.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Keep your fingers crossed!
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So will Becky light the way to profit for the candlesticks?
0:26:39 > 0:26:41- Hello, Becky. - Hello, Mark. Nice to meet you.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Lovely to meet you too.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46I sent you an e-mail with a pair of candlesticks
0:26:46 > 0:26:48- that I'm trying to sell. - You did, yes.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I'll give you one to hold. Art Pottery, 1890-ish.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54But I really liked the little ladybirds on it.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56They are sweet. Really, really sweet.
0:26:56 > 0:27:00It's quite rare, actually, to find the ladybird design on it.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Normally these have got sort of bright colours on them,
0:27:02 > 0:27:06sometimes even with little mottos. Little Cornish mottos.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08They are sweet. Really sweet.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13I was hoping to sell them to you for around £40-£60.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16- Erm...- You're not good at dealing, are you, haggling?
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I can see you are too gentle for that.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20I'm being very mean with you, I know.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24How about we start at 35?
0:27:24 > 0:27:30Well, that's not a bad start, is it? Shall I come down to, say, 55?
0:27:30 > 0:27:31SHE GASPS
0:27:31 > 0:27:35Can't do that. Too much. Can't do that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Erm... I can go to 40.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- Shall we go with 40?- Yeah, I can't really go any more than that.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43- All right, let's do 40.- Great. - Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46A bit of a haggle and Mark has his first sale of the day,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49£40 for the pair of candlesticks, doubling his money
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and netting him a neat profit of £20.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55And staying in Sussex, Mark notches up another sale.
0:27:55 > 0:28:00The barrel seat is bought for £45 by a lady who organises antiques fairs.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03And 'The Maverick' rolls away another £20 better off.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08Mark may be making solid profits but David is still way out in front,
0:28:08 > 0:28:10and he plans to stay that way.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Next up, he's hoping the printing block can print him
0:28:13 > 0:28:15a princely profit.
0:28:15 > 0:28:18He doesn't have to go far to find out.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21This is really an exciting moment for me because, luckily,
0:28:21 > 0:28:25in my town there is an interior designer who still actually uses
0:28:25 > 0:28:27these original printing blocks. So here we are.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30We're going to bring this thing to life
0:28:30 > 0:28:32and then hopefully give it a new home.
0:28:32 > 0:28:33David paid £8,
0:28:33 > 0:28:37but what will interior design shop owner Victoria think it's worth?
0:28:37 > 0:28:40- Good morning, Victoria. - Oh, good morning, how are you doing?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42- Nice to see you. You busy at work?- Yeah.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Can I show you something very special?- You can. Wow!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- That's a gorgeous one.- It is, it's positively 19th-century.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53It may well be earlier. From country of origin, I wouldn't have a clue.
0:28:53 > 0:28:57- What are your thoughts?- The majority either come from India or Thailand.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01I think this would have definitely repeated... Possibly, actually,
0:29:01 > 0:29:05looking at it, in a sort of flower shape, because it looks like it
0:29:05 > 0:29:08comes through to the centre and it looks like it would present round.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10So when you're looking at it, it's not just the one piece,
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- it's about looking at how they would repeat it and reprint it through. - Got you.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I'm desperate to see that thing in action,
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- so can we give that one a go?- Yes.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20- Nice and firm?- Yeah. Wow!
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Oh, it's really beautiful. That's gorgeous.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24That is gorgeous, isn't it?
0:29:24 > 0:29:29If I said to you 40 quid, would that seem really cheap?
0:29:29 > 0:29:33- No, I think that's probably quite expensive for one.- Really?- Yeah.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Seriously?- Yeah.- Would you go at 30?
0:29:36 > 0:29:39Go on, then. Go on. Thank you very much indeed.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41That's really good, thanks, Victoria.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Yes, David puts his stamp on the competition with an indelible
0:29:44 > 0:29:47profit of £22 for the printing block.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51That was absolutely magnificent, to see that print in action,
0:29:51 > 0:29:56the very same image that people were looking at 100 to 200 years ago.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59It sends shivers up the back of my spine.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02And also, a nice profit, too, that sends shivers!
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Well, David is shivering with delight
0:30:05 > 0:30:08but Mark is simmering with excitement.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11He's come to an auction house in Bodiam in East Sussex
0:30:11 > 0:30:13armed with his salt and pepper pots.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15He's hoping the gavel shape will appeal to his old friend
0:30:15 > 0:30:17and auctioneer, Pippa.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19Mark paid £5 for the pots,
0:30:19 > 0:30:22so can he shake out a profit on them?
0:30:22 > 0:30:23- Pippa.- Hello.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27- Gosh, I haven't seen you for so long.- How are you?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- Who's this?- This is Tom.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Hello.
0:30:31 > 0:30:37Mark and Pippa go way back, but baby Tom is an antiques apprentice.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- Well, you know why I'm here. - Yes.- I sent you some photographs...
0:30:40 > 0:30:42- You did, I can't remember... - You can't remember?
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- ..what they look like.- Well, you've had a lot to cope with.- Yeah.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- NARRATOR AS BABY TOM:- "You think SHE'S had a lot to cope with?"
0:30:48 > 0:30:52Well, these are the items. And I said to you a rather modest price of...
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Oh, she's laughing already, I'm in trouble! Now I know I'm in trouble.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58Did I say £30-£40?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03- Do you know what?- What? - I can't remember!
0:31:03 > 0:31:07It's coming back to me now, I think I said 50-80.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- AS BABY TOM:- "I don't know about £80. I'm going to get 40 winks."
0:31:11 > 0:31:16- Could we say 30?- Oh! I think we can still be friends at 35, can't we?
0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Shall we shake on 35? - We can shake on 35.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20- Thank you, Pippa.- It's a pleasure.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Lovely to catch up with you again.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24It's very lovely to see you.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27So, having sent baby Tom to the land of nod, Mark heads to the
0:31:27 > 0:31:32land of profit, making £30 on the salt and pepper shakers.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35So at the halfway point of this sensational selling race,
0:31:35 > 0:31:38let's see who's furlongs ahead enjoying giddy success,
0:31:38 > 0:31:41and who fell at the early hurdles and is lagging behind.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44David raced away at the start.
0:31:44 > 0:31:49He's sold two items so far and made a hefty profit of £322.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52Mark, meanwhile, is one deal up with three sales in the bag.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56But he's seriously trailing in profit with just £70.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59So Mark has really got to dig deep
0:31:59 > 0:32:03if he's to stand any chance of gaining antiques glory.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05He gets back on the phone and trawls the internet
0:32:05 > 0:32:08to make sure he finds the very best buyers.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11But let's not forget, this is a marathon, not a sprint,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13so who will cross the line first?
0:32:15 > 0:32:17'Devilish' David jumps in again.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20He's hoping to sell his First World War model car
0:32:20 > 0:32:23to a vintage car expert, so where better to butter him up
0:32:23 > 0:32:26than in David's very own classic sports car?
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Hello.- Hello, David, how are you? - Good to see you.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- Would you like to step into my office?- What an office!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37- It's a mobile office, Stuart. - Fantastic.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Well, Stuart, I want to show you something that might be
0:32:39 > 0:32:42up your street. It might be a bit too modern for you!
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Let's have a look at it, David!
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Does it fall into your area of passion or expertise? - Yeah, that's my area.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Absolutely. You are spot-on, really.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54I collect crazy things like this, so, yes, very interesting.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57- Date-wise, it's obviously '14-'18. - Yes, I would say so.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01And it's an inkwell, you know. You take that out.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03It's been made from tobacco tins
0:33:03 > 0:33:07and toffee tins, as well as shell casings, all put together.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- That is amazing. - Just have a handle of that.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13You get involved with the selling of these very early vehicles.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16What's the most expensive early vehicle you've ever sold?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20I handled the sale of the oldest Rolls-Royce in the world,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24- sold for £3.5 million. - Get that figure in your head.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29For this armoured car of the First World War period,
0:33:29 > 0:33:31220.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Sounds painful to me, David. It sounds very painful.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I would struggle up to £100.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Plus, it's not going to look beautiful on my desk.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44- Can you go 200?- Well, what about 120, David?- I can't.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- I can't.- 120 would be it, really.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Can you go 180? I'm really struggling here.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53I will go one more bid, David. £140 on that.
0:33:53 > 0:33:57I'm going to take the bid, it's a trickle of a profit, but I'll have it.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59I'm delighted.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Well, that's considerably less than he'd hoped for,
0:34:01 > 0:34:05but David still manages to drive away with a profit of £35.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09Mark still has to work hard if he's to move out of the slow lane,
0:34:09 > 0:34:15but he is a man on a mission, and he has motored to Kent with his buckle.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18I think I've tracked down the perfect buyer for my Liberty's buckle.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I've committed to the Design Gallery in Westerham,
0:34:20 > 0:34:24who specialise in all things Art Deco and Art and Crafts,
0:34:24 > 0:34:27and if there's a buyer for this, hopefully it will be here.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30Will I buckle up a profit? I don't know. We'll soon find out.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Mark is meeting shop owner Chrissie,
0:34:33 > 0:34:37but will she have grand designs on the buckle that cost him £250?
0:34:37 > 0:34:39- You know why I've come here.- I do.
0:34:39 > 0:34:42- I looked on your website and I know you like Liberty's.- Yes.
0:34:42 > 0:34:47- And I bought this little buckle. - OK.- Which is, I think, 1905.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52Really pretty design. We do specialise in Art Nouveau.
0:34:52 > 0:34:54It's a charming piece.
0:34:54 > 0:35:00If it was at an auction, it could be estimated 200 to 300, do you think?
0:35:00 > 0:35:04- That's exactly what I thought. - I'd be happy to give you 285.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09I would be delighted to accept 285, if you're happy with that.
0:35:09 > 0:35:11I feel I've found the right buyer for it.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14I've made a bit of a profit, and I'm very happy with that.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Mark, you might have been able to push her for more, then.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20But £35 is a profit nonetheless.
0:35:20 > 0:35:22While David keeps his selling wheels in motion,
0:35:22 > 0:35:25Mr 'Maverick' is moving onto his Gigi plate.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28He's come to London to see friends Geoff and Glynis,
0:35:28 > 0:35:32who conveniently have names beginning with the letter G.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35The sharp ones amongst you will see what he's thinking here.
0:35:35 > 0:35:36They know nothing about this.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40They don't know what it is or how much I want for it.
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'm just hoping that I'm going to sell it.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47- And you'll find out why in a moment. - No point in being mysterious, Mark.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51- Everyone's already up to speed. - Darling, how are you?- Hi, Mark.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53Air kiss. Mwah! Mwah!
0:35:53 > 0:35:58- Nice to see you. Come on in.- So, this G-G-Glynis. Geoff is at work.
0:35:58 > 0:36:02- So what will she make of the £5 pound plate?- Ready?- Yes, OK.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- I think you're going to love it. - OK.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Gigi.
0:36:07 > 0:36:10SHE LAUGHS
0:36:12 > 0:36:14That's absolutely wild.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18You know, we know you and Geoff affectionately as Gigi.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20You can keep your little candies in it,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23when you have a little cocktail soiree.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26- You can keep your glace cherries in it.- Absolutely.- Isn't it fabulous?
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Where on earth did you find a piece of Wedgwood that said Gigi?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Ooh! Just take that off.
0:36:32 > 0:36:34You didn't notice that, did you?
0:36:34 > 0:36:37Now, let me just give you a little tip at home.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40If you are going to sell something to somebody, it is a good idea
0:36:40 > 0:36:44to take the price you paid for it off the back first. I've just rescued myself there.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Mark! What a mistake to make.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48But ever the professional, Mark presses on.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51All I want is £30.
0:36:52 > 0:36:59£30! For something that doesn't even match my colour scheme?!
0:36:59 > 0:37:02This is a perfect idea now to go out and think,
0:37:02 > 0:37:06I know, let's bring back Wedgwood blue. I could drop a little.
0:37:06 > 0:37:13- Well, I think you ought to.- 28. - £20?- It's getting there, isn't it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- Could we possibly settle on 25? - All right, then.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20- Another air kiss? - 25 and an air kiss, darling.
0:37:20 > 0:37:21BOTH: Mwah! Mwah!
0:37:21 > 0:37:25Mark makes £20 on the plate. That's four times what he paid for it.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Not a bad profit made on the Gigis.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31However, he's less lucky with the silver golfing spoon.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34A lady in Brighton pays him £50 for it,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36which is exactly what Mark paid himself,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39so that's absolutely no profit at all,
0:37:39 > 0:37:42which just goes to show that anything can happen.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46'Devilish' David remains in the lead and is hoping for a demon deal
0:37:46 > 0:37:47on his Art Deco armchairs.
0:37:47 > 0:37:51One of his regular customers, Rob, has taken a shine to them,
0:37:51 > 0:37:56but is he prepared to part with more than the £70 David spent on them originally?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58There you go, Rob. Thanks for the help, by the way!
0:37:58 > 0:38:01- I'm sorry about that. - That was really good of you.- Thanks.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- They look fantastic.- Well, you would say that. They do look good.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09- But they look better in situ, don't they?- Definitely.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- David, what are we talking about, then?- What do you think?- 170.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- A trickle more. A trickle more. - A trickle more.- A trickle.
0:38:16 > 0:38:22- I think they've got to be worth £100 a chair. I don't think you'd buy the fabric for that.- Right.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25What if we said just under 200 to make your day, Rob?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Would you go halfway, 190, roughly?
0:38:28 > 0:38:31- Halfway, that is.- Yeah. Shall we do it?- Can we do that?- Let's do it.- OK.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36- I don't want to carry them back home.- Brilliant.- Try them out!
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Yes, no wonder David's smiling. That's a very comfortable profit
0:38:40 > 0:38:43of £120 for the armchairs.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46Mark has driven back down to the south coast and Brighton.
0:38:46 > 0:38:51He's hoping for a winning result from his final item, his enamel badge,
0:38:51 > 0:38:54and he's hoping the shoe motif will appeal to former dancer Peter,
0:38:54 > 0:38:57who's now our fellow antiques dealer.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02- Oh, my goodness!- Am I interrupting? - Not at all, no.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- Now, I said I had a little something to show you, didn't I?- Right.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- I think you're going to find this amusing.- Oh, don't say that.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Are you ready?- I'm ready. - You might even remember them.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14It's a little badge. I think it's for a kids' club, don't you?
0:39:14 > 0:39:19- I've never seen that. I don't what it could be for.- I think it's 1930s.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21I don't really want that much for it, Peter,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24but I want to make a little profit on it.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Is 'Maverick' Mark losing his grip?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29The name of the game is making a LOT of profit.
0:39:29 > 0:39:34- I was thinking maybe of £10. - Oh.- You're surprised! I should have said more.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- I should have said 20.- No, no, no.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Yes, yes, yes, you absolutely should have done.
0:39:39 > 0:39:44- Eight!- No, I'm not going to... £10, come on. Do we have a deal?
0:39:44 > 0:39:46- We have a deal.- 10 quid. Thank you so much.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49A pretty modest profit of £3 for the badge.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54But with his final item sold, Mark can sit back and relax.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57In County Durham, David continues to push, push, push.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01He sells his 1920s Japanese fire screen for £80,
0:40:01 > 0:40:04bringing in a red-hot profit of £70.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06He's having a fantastic day!
0:40:06 > 0:40:12# Fantastic day... #
0:40:12 > 0:40:16So, will David's last deal be a laughing matter?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19It's time to see off the modern glass stands that cost £28,
0:40:19 > 0:40:23and David's set his sights on the owner of a local hairdresser's.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Will he shave off a profit or will he have to cut and run?
0:40:27 > 0:40:31- Simon, how are you?- David, hi, how are you?- Very good to see you.
0:40:31 > 0:40:35- Good to see you as well. - I bought these things in Norfolk.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I thought, you, Simon, you're a contemporary,
0:40:37 > 0:40:40whizzy young fella about town.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43I think there's something that we could use, maybe, in the salon.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48- That's what I was thinking.- They're quite modern.- How do you value them?
0:40:48 > 0:40:52For the purposes of what I would use them for, maybe I would think
0:40:52 > 0:40:55they might be worth £15 each, £30 for the pair.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59That's sort of disappointing, but I'm almost impressed.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Because it's almost... I paid 28 quid for the pair.
0:41:02 > 0:41:07If I said to you, £60, that's £30 each, I'm doubling my money.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- If we meet in the middle. - Where?- 50.- 5 for the two.
0:41:10 > 0:41:16- 5 for the two and I'll shake your hand. - OK. Will you give me a haircut?
0:41:16 > 0:41:19- We'll throw a haircut in for you! How's that?- Can you really do me a haircut?
0:41:19 > 0:41:23- We can do something for you, no problem.- I'm up for it.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25So David somehow squeezes out a profit of £22
0:41:25 > 0:41:29and gets a free haircut thrown in.
0:41:29 > 0:41:32Some might call it a haircut, others would say it's a head wash.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36So our dashing dealers are all sold up, and before we get
0:41:36 > 0:41:40the final figures, let's remind ourselves what they spent in Norfolk.
0:41:40 > 0:41:44Both our boys started the day with £750.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48David Harper made six purchases and spent £571.
0:41:48 > 0:41:54Mark Stacey struck seven deals but paid out much less, £362.
0:41:54 > 0:41:58So just one question remains. Who has made the biggest profit?
0:41:59 > 0:42:01All the money that David
0:42:01 > 0:42:03and Mark have made from today's challenge will go to
0:42:03 > 0:42:06the charities of their choice, so without further ado,
0:42:06 > 0:42:11let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- Hello.- You're looking jolly. You are looking jolly!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18- Well, I've been a Norfolk broad all day!- Does that cheer you up?
0:42:18 > 0:42:20I don't know about that, but it helped me blend in.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22You blended in beautifully.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I would never have spotted you with the feather boa.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28You can always spot you, David, particularly on a sunny day.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- There's a beacon. Are you pleased with the things you bought? - Very pleased.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Any particular ones?- Well, the cart. - Oh!
0:42:33 > 0:42:35I've never bought a cart in my whole life.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Don't tell me you made a huge profit.
0:42:37 > 0:42:39I made a very good profit, and rightly so,
0:42:39 > 0:42:45- because that cart was actually... - Belonged to Jane Austen. No.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47- Undersold by me, Mark. - Anyway, shall we find out?
0:42:47 > 0:42:50BOTH: Three, two, one.
0:42:50 > 0:42:53Oh, David, how do you do it?!
0:42:53 > 0:42:56- Oh, Mark, it's called working. - I'm off!- Mark!
0:42:56 > 0:42:58No, I'm going. I'm giving up.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01Oh, we have a bad loser in our midst.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04David, however, walks away a very convincing winner.
0:43:05 > 0:43:09David managed to do so well on his items, especially the cart.
0:43:09 > 0:43:11Ha-ha!
0:43:11 > 0:43:16I've got to say, for me, buying in a UK antiques fair is just heavenly.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19But Mark mustn't be too downhearted.
0:43:19 > 0:43:21He can straighten things up tomorrow
0:43:21 > 0:43:24when our bargain battlers slug it out on the Continent.
