0:00:58 > 0:01:00- OK, call.- Tails never fails.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Tails never fails.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04..Mark does a deal that turns heads...
0:01:04 > 0:01:07Have a little look at this one. This is the clock.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10The real one's much prettier than the clock.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12It is, but I'm not selling the real one.
0:01:12 > 0:01:16..and David shows how to know if your upholstery is original.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19These nail holes here are original nail holes.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23If it had been reupholstered, you'd have a multitude of holes.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Ladies and gentlemen, strap yourselves in
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and prepare for a high octane rumble in the car boot jungle.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51This will be a battle of enormous proportions, with two giants of the
0:01:51 > 0:01:55antiques trade going head-to-head in the ultimate face-off.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58They must find the best bargains and then sell them
0:01:58 > 0:01:59on for maximum profit.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04And with these two titans of the trade, that should be easy money.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07First up, a master craftsman of dextrous dealing.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10He's an overflowing fountain of facts.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12His knowledge and nous, a knockout.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Bounding in from County Durham, it's the unstoppable,
0:02:15 > 0:02:19the unflinching, Devilish David Harper.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23By! That's a good looking thing!
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Don't really like the mirror though.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27His competitor is a nifty negotiator,
0:02:27 > 0:02:31a cunning connoisseur with a hawk-eye for the right buy.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34His lightning-quick wit leaves other dealers standing.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Speeding in from Brighton, it's the impregnable.,
0:02:37 > 0:02:40The invincible, Mark The Maverick Stacey.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47Well, you know what they say - all the nice girls like a sailor.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Our pair of profit hunters are slugging it out at the car
0:02:52 > 0:02:55boot sale at Ford Airfield in West Sussex.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58So, we're on Mr Stacey's stomping ground today.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01They've each brought £250 of their own money to spend and any
0:03:01 > 0:03:05profit they make will go straight to the charities of their choice.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07But bargain hunters beware.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Car booters haggle hard and fear no-one,
0:03:10 > 0:03:14so there should be a few little hurdles along the way.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16HE LAUGHS
0:03:16 > 0:03:21So, Mark Stacey and David Harper prepare to blaze a boot sale trail.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24It's time to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28- David...- Ho-ho! It's only you and me!- Look at this. Where are they all?
0:03:28 > 0:03:30I've no idea. This is, of course, local to you.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Well, I'm only about 15 miles down there.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Can you see your house from here? - You'd need a big ladder.
0:03:36 > 0:03:41- So, you're 15 miles away, Mark... - And you're...? 350 miles away.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- Listen, do you want a tip?- Yeah.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Why don't you leave now for the train
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- and you'll be home in time for supper?- OK.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Now, that almost worked. Have you been here before?- Lots of times.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56I've never been. This is absolutely a new experience for me.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Once those gates open, it's like the African Savanna.- Really?
0:04:01 > 0:04:06- It'll be...turmoil. Very best of luck to you.- You too.- Speak later.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Well, since The Maverick is on familiar territory,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12he should have the upper hand, but both our daring dealers will
0:04:12 > 0:04:14need full and sustained concentration
0:04:14 > 0:04:18if they're to pinpoint the profits before they're pipped to the post.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20The cars, vans and lorries are queueing up
0:04:20 > 0:04:23and they're chock-a-block with booty.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26We'll need speedy feet, sharp elbows and a mountain
0:04:26 > 0:04:30of specialist knowledge - something our boys have in spades.
0:04:30 > 0:04:36Now, David may be far from home, but he's not fazed in the slightest.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39I must tell you a strategy for buying at a car boot is
0:04:39 > 0:04:42so different to any other buying environment.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Just look around you - it is mad and manic
0:04:45 > 0:04:49and that is part of the appeal. You've just got to dive in there.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53If you like it and can afford it, buy it, because three seconds later,
0:04:53 > 0:04:56it will be history and gone.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Speed is of the essence.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02So, we're looking for fast footwork from Harper and he's hoping
0:05:02 > 0:05:05to outpace our Brighton beauty who is out of his comfort zone.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10I'm not comfortable grabbing into people's boots and boxes
0:05:10 > 0:05:12and unpacking for them.
0:05:12 > 0:05:13But I am up against Harper,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16so I need to be early to get those bargains.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19So, Mark swallows his pride and digs in.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Stand aside, people - this man is on a mission, but he needs to
0:05:23 > 0:05:26get a move on, because David is set on getting ahead.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29A Buddha's head, actually.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- What's the trade price on this one? - 60 on it, I would take 50.- 50.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Would 40 buy it?- No. I'd do it at 45.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Let's have it at 45, thank you very much.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Look at the stand, it's very unprofessional, very amateurish.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48That is not a mass-produced stand, so that's a good indication.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53The fact that he's worn, nicely patinated, a lovely green colour...
0:05:53 > 0:05:57and almost feels soft to the touch, like he's been worn away,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59is a good thing.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03I do truly believe that is evidence of an ancient artefact.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06When I say ancient, it's going to be...
0:06:06 > 0:06:12Safely described as 19th century. I and he are very pleased indeed.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15So, devilish David is first on the scoreboard.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18His imposing component said he wanted to get in early,
0:06:18 > 0:06:22but he's SO early, he's helping someone to unpack.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24He quickly comes across a vintage motorbike helmet in good
0:06:24 > 0:06:29condition which he thinks could make a brilliant decorative piece.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30How much is that?
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- Is that cheap?- How cheap? - Couple of quid?- Yeah, go on.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Two pounds, for a motorbike helmet.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42I think I've got to have that, haven't I?
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Must be somebody around who collects motorbike helmets. I don't know.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I'll have that.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51And he clearly thinks he's on to a winner with this carload.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55He gets back for another rummage and clocks a clock.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59- How much is that one?- 40.- 40? - Yes, afraid so.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Not much profit left in that for me, is there?
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Well, you've got a tough one, haven't you?- Have I got to talk to her nicely?
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Maybe give her a cuddle?
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Maybe that will put the price up!
0:07:10 > 0:07:11This is quite pretty.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15This is a little Edwardian mantel clock, oval.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17It's inlaid with satinwood.
0:07:17 > 0:07:22It's got stylised tulips which are quite pretty. It looks...
0:07:22 > 0:07:25It's been in the sun a bit, so the mahogany is bleached.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Can I be really cheeky?
0:07:27 > 0:07:33- What are you thinking of?- Well, 20. Because it needs a bit of work.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- Go on.- Are you sure? And I'll have the helmet as well, for two pounds.
0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Yeah.- So 22 quid.- Notice how he didn't go back to the lady.
0:07:41 > 0:07:45He has debuted with a double deal, but he's not finished yet.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49- His head is turned by a rather more unusual clock.- That's fun, isn't it?
0:07:49 > 0:07:54Little owl's eyes move as the clock movement goes. Can we say 20 again?
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Wonderful. This is going rather well, isn't it?!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I've got another clock now.- At which point, you'd think he'd move on.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03But he doesn't move a Maverick muscle!
0:08:03 > 0:08:07He's found an early 20th-century shoe last which gives him an idea.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Wouldn't that be great in a loo, to put your toilet rolls on?
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- So is that another couple of quid, do you think? How much?- A fiver.
0:08:16 > 0:08:20- A fiver?!- Yes. I don't want you having a heart attack, not just yet!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm the one supposed to be having a heart attack.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Five pounds. Good. Right, that's four things I bought here.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31I'm going to be cheeky again. Because it comes to 47...
0:08:31 > 0:08:35But I was rather hoping we might do them for 45.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Go on.- Are you sure?
0:08:37 > 0:08:40I have to be, the way you're looking at me! You're bigger than me!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- I mean taller!- Steady on!
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Well, it might have been cheeky, but he pulled it off.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50And he kept to his word of buying lots of items early on.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Well done, Maverick. So what the devil is David doing?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56He thinks he's found himself a nice little urn-er,
0:08:56 > 0:08:59and he's agreed to pay £25.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01I know exactly what that is.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03It's Satsuma ware.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06Satsuma ware is a distinctly Japanese decoration
0:09:06 > 0:09:10from the region of Satsuma in Japan,
0:09:10 > 0:09:12hence its name.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It's always golds and reds and blues and greens
0:09:15 > 0:09:20and it's decorated with raised enamel. That shape is just gorgeous.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24And ancient in its shape, with its lid, which is
0:09:24 > 0:09:27very sadly broken, what is it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:32It's an urn of some sort, but it has a really distinct purpose
0:09:32 > 0:09:35and that is to burn incense. That will be possibly Meiji period,
0:09:35 > 0:09:391868 to 1912.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41That is £25.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44The smoke comes out, it billows in clouds
0:09:44 > 0:09:48and it is meant to represent the souls of your dead ancestors.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52It's a time of reflection and meditation.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54It's coming home with me and it's going to get used.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Where's that lady? I'm going to give her some money.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00But there's no time for devilish David to reflect on the past.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Oh, no, because he soon spots a chess set. Your move, sir.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- What's that, a £10 note?- Yes, sir. Nice little box.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Tell you what, for a £10 note, to buy a hand-carved chess set,
0:10:12 > 0:10:16even without the chessboard has got to be cheap, hasn't it?
0:10:16 > 0:10:18I'll say yes to that. Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22He pays cash of course - with chess, you have to be careful of CHEQUES.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Mate.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28So here we have a mid to late 20th century soapstone
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Southern African hand-carved chess set without its chessboard,
0:10:33 > 0:10:38but even so, that, for a tenner, is positively for nothing.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39And I love it.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Those devilish deals have reduced the Maverick's lead quite
0:10:42 > 0:10:45considerably, but there's two masters at work here
0:10:45 > 0:10:49and young Stacey soon punches back with a mysterious find.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I love finding antique boxes like this.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57The first thing you can tell from this is that it's mahogany.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00It has a lovely gilt brass handle on there with
0:11:00 > 0:11:04some of the gilding missing. What an Earth was in there?
0:11:04 > 0:11:07That's the thing. Or is there still something in there?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09When we get to see inside, it is empty,
0:11:09 > 0:11:11but it does have a little drawer.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13I think this was a microscope box.
0:11:14 > 0:11:17There's some scratch-marks on the bottom here
0:11:17 > 0:11:20and I think it would have been slightly more fitted
0:11:20 > 0:11:23and you would have put your microscope in there and that little
0:11:23 > 0:11:26drawer was for keeping your slides and things.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Generally, it's actually in quite nice condition.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's a nice period one.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36This would date to around about 1880, 1890,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40so it's well over 110 years old.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42The question is, how much is it?
0:11:42 > 0:11:46And can I find a microscope collector who wants a box?
0:11:46 > 0:11:49That's the question. How much is this, sir?
0:11:49 > 0:11:55- I'll take a tenner on that, mate. - £10. It's a bargain.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I'm going to have to buy it for £10. Wouldn't you?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00Yes, of course you would.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So, let's hope The Maverick fills his box full with
0:12:03 > 0:12:06a fulfilling profit. And this man is super speedy.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10He doesn't miss a beat. Minutes later, he spots a cake stand.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- Is this a bargain, sir? - It is a bargain.- How much is it?
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- We'll do it for two.- Two pounds?! Sir, you've got a deal.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Two pounds for a cake stand.
0:12:19 > 0:12:24If I can't get 20 quid for that, it's not a bad return, is it?
0:12:24 > 0:12:28I might even have a fondant fancy myself or even a cream eclair.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Or you could really push the boat out
0:12:30 > 0:12:34and treat yourself to a Chelsea bun! So Mark is rising to the top.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37He's struck twice as many deals as David and you do start to
0:12:37 > 0:12:40wonder if that Harper chap has taken his eye off the game.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44When you're looking good, you're looking good. Right, baby?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Well, that's one for the family album.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Our David really is as cool as a cucumber.
0:12:51 > 0:12:52He gets back to business
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and is soon cooing over a couple of silver candlesticks.
0:12:55 > 0:13:01They're £95 for a pair of Georgian style dwarf candlesticks.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- They couldn't be 50 quid, could they?- £75 is rock bottom.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I'll spin you, 50 or 70. Life's a gamble, isn't it?!
0:13:10 > 0:13:12Absolutely, go on, then.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15- 50 or 70? Good man! - I don't mind losing money!
0:13:15 > 0:13:17This livens the day up beautifully!
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- Call.- Tails never fails.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Tails never fails.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24And he's right! Tails never fails. There you go.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- It's worth 20 quid just for the fun. - Is it? Is it REALLY?
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Losing the toss means David hands over £70 for the pair.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35So, Georgian in their inspiration,
0:13:35 > 0:13:39kind of 1770, 1790 in their look.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42But with a very early 20th-century feel to them,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44particularly with that decoration along the top.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Certainly made in Sheffield, certainly solid silver,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50certainly 1904 and certainly at £70, even though I lost the spin,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54an absolute stonking bargain yet again.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57David Harper, always positive.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Right, let's see what that deal does to the figures.
0:14:00 > 0:14:05Both our experts came to Ford with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:14:05 > 0:14:07David has had a steady morning.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10He's bought four times and spent £150,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13leaving him a round £100 in his kitty.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16Mark, on the other hand, has raced around the car-boot sale.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19He's bought six items, but only spent £57,
0:14:19 > 0:14:24leaving him a massive £193 still to spend.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27Our brave battlers take a breather to size each other up.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30- How're you doing? - Very good. I'm liking it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- I've got some real stuff! - Really?- Yes, what have you bought?
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- I've bought some real stuff. - I mean real, as in, antique stuff.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Oh, no, I haven't bothered with antiques.- Oh, no.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- It's the wrong show!- Why ruin a good programme?- For goodness' sake!
0:14:43 > 0:14:46I've spent quite a lot. Seriously.
0:14:47 > 0:14:51But real-time antique stuff, that should be at an antiques fair,
0:14:51 > 0:14:53not a car boot fair.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yes, look at that.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58David Harper is devilish, trying to intimidate The Maverick,
0:14:58 > 0:15:00chipping away at his confidence.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04So David's bought genuine antiques and spent a lot of money.
0:15:04 > 0:15:05Should I be worried?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Probably, because David is quite a canny buyer
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and he has a lot more buyers for genuine antiques, as he calls them.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15But the proof is in the profit. Mark is a master of that mission.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18He's back walking the aisles and soon comes across a wooden
0:15:18 > 0:15:22figure of a Pierrot - one of those sad clowns to you and me.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- How much is this? - Five pounds.- Five quid?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28This is not old, you could have it for your business cards
0:15:28 > 0:15:30if you were a small shop.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34You could have your business cards on there in the doorway.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It's all hand-painted. It's just cut out of plywood.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41Five pounds for a Pierrot. I'm going to have that, thank you.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Well, that's the third time Mark's bought something without
0:15:44 > 0:15:46feeling the need to haggle.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49David is now in desperate need of bolstering his arsenal
0:15:49 > 0:15:52and he soon spies something in need of TLC.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55That is a delicious chair.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Cabriole leg, sea scroll decoration.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00The original 19th-century crushed velvet.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Look at that, horsehair filling.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Hessian, original braiding. Look at the evidence.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10These nail holes here are original nail holes.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13If it had been reupholstered, you'd have a multitude of holes.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15It's a cracking chair, that.
0:16:15 > 0:16:20For a rosewood chair, that is an exceptionally good example.
0:16:20 > 0:16:26The difference between rosewood and mahogany is that rosewood is
0:16:26 > 0:16:31a bit redder and it has black veins running through the grain.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34So there's a good example - look at the back of the leg -
0:16:34 > 0:16:35that's the original patination.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38Looks like mahogany, but you've got the black veins.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41The reason this is called Rosewood has nothing to do with the
0:16:41 > 0:16:42colour of the wood,
0:16:42 > 0:16:46it has everything to do with the way the wood smells when it's cut raw.
0:16:46 > 0:16:52When you cut a rosewood tree, it smells - the sap - of roses.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54That's where the name comes from.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57- I'd love to play 15 quid, would that get it?- 20.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Go on, I'll have to have it.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02When you got have something, you've got to have it.
0:17:02 > 0:17:06Well, that was a top-notch display of David's knockout knowledge.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Mark, as you'd expect, is working nonstop, always scouting around.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13This is rather interesting. I like this.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Look at the quality of this painting.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17All that delicate paintbrush...
0:17:17 > 0:17:19The flowers, the gilding...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22It's papier mache, that's why it's so light.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25It's not British. Where do you think it might have come from?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30I'm sure you know. This is Indian. This is probably made in Kashmir.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33They produced a lot of this type of ware for export.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36It was so admired because of the quality of the decoration.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40This was probably made...at the end of the Raj period.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Sort of 1900s...
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's actually rather nice. Do you know what?
0:17:46 > 0:17:47I've just bought it.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50£20 for a piece of Indian history.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I think that's well worth it, don't you?
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Sounds like Mark is trying to outdo David on expertise.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57They're both dealers at the top of their game,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01but in this challenge, it's The Maverick who's reigning supreme.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03David needs to drive another hard bargain.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06What about this metal car mascot?
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- She's just chromium plated alloy. - HE SIGHS
0:18:16 > 0:18:18I'd love her for a tenner. Is she going to come for a tenner?
0:18:18 > 0:18:20No, because she cost me more than that.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23How much do I have to pay to take that beautiful angel home with me?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26- You'd have to pay 20.- Let me pay 20 and I'm taking her home.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29- All right. - Thank you very much.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33That is a work of art from the Art Deco period, circa 1930,
0:18:33 > 0:18:39pre-Second World War. It just screams that elegant age.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Look at the hairstyle, the shape of the body,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44the wings outstretched, she is just gorgeous.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47It's just an alloy and chrome plated,
0:18:47 > 0:18:52but something that was made to bling up your car, to personalise it.
0:18:52 > 0:18:54It's a piece of 20th-century art
0:18:54 > 0:18:57and history, all rolled into one.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01And for 20 quid, she is beautiful. I love her.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03And with that, Devilish David calls it a day,
0:19:03 > 0:19:06but The Maverick is intent on checking out everything on offer
0:19:06 > 0:19:11and when he finds a wooden glove box, he goes straight in for a deal.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14- Can you do it for 10? - I couldn't do 10. I'll do 12.
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- I've got to eat this week. - Yes, looks like you're wasting away!
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Thank you very much!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24David said he was finding genuine antiques, so am I on this occasion.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28This is a nice little late Victorian glove box.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32When you open it up, it's got all its original paper
0:19:32 > 0:19:34and shot silk lining.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37A lady would have folded her long, silk evening gloves
0:19:37 > 0:19:41and kept them in a little fitted box like that.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's a little bit tired, but then aren't we all?
0:19:43 > 0:19:46I've been up since five o'clock.
0:19:46 > 0:19:51This box has been around since about 1870, if not a tad earlier.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53And at that point, Mark throws in the towel
0:19:53 > 0:19:57and goes off to rest his weary head. So, the buying bonanza is over.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Let's take a look at the final figures.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04Both our experts came to the car boot with £250 of their own money.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07"Devilish" David Harper played a steady game
0:20:07 > 0:20:09and made six purchases,
0:20:09 > 0:20:11spending £190 in the process.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Mark "The Maverick" Stacey bought a lot more for a lot less,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17nine deals and £94,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19so what do they make of their wares?
0:20:22 > 0:20:26- David, David, David. - It's not even lunchtime.- I know.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30In our chat this morning you said you'd bought wonderful antiques.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33- Yes.- Where?- Late 19th, early 20th century...
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Well, early 20th, David.
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Satsuma Koro.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37A 1920s
0:20:37 > 0:20:42Art Deco car mascot. And a...
0:20:42 > 0:20:48At least a 19th-century Buddha head on a much later stand.
0:20:48 > 0:20:49Could be earlier.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53I've often thought about your head on a later stand!
0:20:53 > 0:20:54Ooh!
0:20:56 > 0:20:59Well! Is that one of your tactics?
0:20:59 > 0:21:01David! You've just lost your head!
0:21:01 > 0:21:03I can't believe it.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- Do I now sue you? - Oh, I'm so sorry!- Stop laughing!
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- He's horrible. - Oh, David - I'm so sorry.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14You see what I mean about it being an amateur job?
0:21:14 > 0:21:16Now I'm going to have to glue his head on.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Anyway, that's my collection of wonders and treasures.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21Shall we just have a look at yours?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Come on, there's some interesting things there.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Tell me what's interesting.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I'm really pleased with my little Kashmir bowl.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33- I love my novelty owl clock. - I don't, but there you go.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- A microscope box.- Yes.- 19th-century, nice gilt brass handle.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41- What's the microscope like, is it a good one?- It's an empty microscope...
0:21:41 > 0:21:43It is a very, very rare
0:21:43 > 0:21:46late 19th-century invisible microscope.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51- Not THE invisible...? The patented one?- I'm so excited!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53I'll give you £1,000 for it now!
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'd almost take it, but I think I can get two!
0:21:57 > 0:22:02- Listen, as usual, David, great fun. - Brilliant.- Sell it, now.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You sell it, Mark - good luck, you'll need it.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Yes, nothing like a little rough-and-tumble to keep them
0:22:10 > 0:22:11on their toes.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Both our daring dealers hotfoot it home as the hard bit
0:22:14 > 0:22:16is about to begin.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18The next part of their mission is to make maximum
0:22:18 > 0:22:20money from their bargain bits.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23It's noses to the grindstone, because whoever ends up with the
0:22:23 > 0:22:26most profit will be crowned the champion.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29At Harper headquarters in County Durham, David takes
0:22:29 > 0:22:31stock of his lot.
0:22:31 > 0:22:35What do you think about that little lot, then, as a car boot booty?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40Fabulous. An Art Deco original car mascot, circa 1930.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43I think I know where I'm going with that. Silver candlesticks.
0:22:43 > 0:22:48I paid some money - £70 - but they're worth every single penny.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50The chess set is absolute rubbish.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53It's quite possibly the worst thing I've bought in about 15 years,
0:22:53 > 0:22:56but not to worry. You do make mistakes occasionally.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Favoured object has got to be the bronze Buddha
0:23:00 > 0:23:04which actually, Mark Stacey did me a massive favour by breaking the stand.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Because the stand was absolutely abominable.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I'm sat on one of the most comfortable chairs you're ever
0:23:11 > 0:23:12likely to find.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Also, one of the best quality 19th-century dining chairs
0:23:16 > 0:23:18I've owned in years.
0:23:18 > 0:23:23This is my original Japanese late 19th-century Satsuma Koro,
0:23:23 > 0:23:24an incense burner.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Let's just be calm and reflective.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Hmmmmmmmmm...
0:23:31 > 0:23:32Profit.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34Hmmmmmmmmmm... Antiques.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Well, everyone has their own way of making this bit work(!)
0:23:37 > 0:23:40Mark, meanwhile, is at Maverick Towers in Brighton.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44He is feeling confident about his collection.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I've got some really exciting sales lined up, I think.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50This stand, we're going to have a little tea party
0:23:50 > 0:23:54of the four-legged variety. That's got you thinking, hasn't it?
0:23:54 > 0:23:57The vintage motorbike helmet, well, I have got
0:23:57 > 0:24:01someone in mind for that and they specialise in vintage motorcycles.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04The owl clock, which I love, it's a late... Well, it's Black Forest,
0:24:04 > 0:24:09probably 1950s or so. My Pierrot stand.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13What better way of putting out information about your shop?
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Your business cards or a little leaflet about an upcoming event.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22I love this Kashmir papier mache tray, it's so beautifully done.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24It would grace any table.
0:24:24 > 0:24:27The vintage shoe last, I think it would
0:24:27 > 0:24:30make a fantastic loo roll holder.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32No, I'm not talking a load of cobblers,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34but I have got a cobbler in mind.
0:24:34 > 0:24:38This microscope case, of course it hasn't got a microscope in it,
0:24:38 > 0:24:40but it's a nice mahogany case
0:24:40 > 0:24:44and the other item I really like is this lady's glove box.
0:24:44 > 0:24:45It could possibly be yew wood.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48If it is, it makes it quite unusual,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53because you don't find a lot of yew wood items in English furniture.
0:24:53 > 0:24:54That's one to watch, I think.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58And Mark also has his Edwardian clock to sell as well.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02So our rip-roaring rivals delve into their little black books,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04hit the internet search engines
0:25:04 > 0:25:06and start setting up potential sales.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09But until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11no deal is ever sealed.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15And it's The Maverick who revs up and gets going first -
0:25:15 > 0:25:19with the wind in his hair, he takes his £2 motorbike helmet
0:25:19 > 0:25:24to Handcross in West Sussex to meet two vintage motorcycle dealers.
0:25:24 > 0:25:27- Gordon... - And this is Ian.- And Ian.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30This is amazing, isn't it? Ooh, look at the little one!
0:25:30 > 0:25:32Mini Indian.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34This is the item.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38This is a perfect place to display it, just as a piece of memorabilia.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41- They ARE still legal. - They are?- Strangely.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44- It's got the British Kitemark. - Which makes it legal.
0:25:44 > 0:25:49I think I said a rather modest sort of £20-£30.
0:25:49 > 0:25:55- Well, I think perhaps we could come in somewhere between those.- 28?- 25...
0:25:55 > 0:26:0025! I did pick it up rather cheaply, I have to say.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- If you're happy with 25... - Absolutely.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- I'd be very happy, thank you very much.- Marvellous.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08- And thank you, Gordon - that's wonderful.- Hats off to Mark.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11His first deal motors in a profit of £23.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13That's over 10 times what he paid.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17And whilst he's there, he can't resist a little ride.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19That was a jolly good profit.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22I think I'm cruising to victory at the car-boot sale, don't you?
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Yes, but you can't rely on Ian and Gordon to push you everywhere!
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Devilish David is hot on Mark's tracks.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32He's started off in his hometown.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34You know, sometimes in sales,
0:26:34 > 0:26:36you've just got to go with your gut instinct.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39My gut instinct tells me that my friend Ali,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41the interior designer here, is going to love this object.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45She knows I'm coming, but she has no idea what I've got with me.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47It could be a white elephant, it could be a book,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51but no, it's a Japanese Koro, and I think she's going to love it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Well, let's hope she does.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58The Satsuma incense burner owes David £25.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02- What do you think? It's got a loose lid, be careful!- A loose lid!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Beautiful, decoratively. - It's Satsuma ware.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09What do you think someone would pay for a hand-decorated incense burner
0:27:09 > 0:27:12that's about 100 years old?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- 50-ish.- I'm thinking £75.- Hmm.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18What about meeting you in the middle, about 65?
0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Make it 70 and we're done. - OK.- Happy?
0:27:23 > 0:27:29- £70.- Well, I'm pleased, because that could have gone so badly wrong.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Well, it certainly went right for David.
0:27:31 > 0:27:36Devilish makes £45 profit and he's instantly out in front.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38So Mark is on the back foot,
0:27:38 > 0:27:42but what better item to produce than his shoe last loo-roll holder?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45He heads inland to Lewis to see Graham the cobbler.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49But will he give Mark a profit on the three pounds he forked out?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Graham!- Hello, Mark! Nice to see you.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55How are you? Sorry, you're hard at work there.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- This looks a hive of activity. - I swept it especially for you!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- I've got this item that I want to sell.- Oh, yes?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I thought it might make a good loo-roll holder.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10Wow. That's a last...
0:28:10 > 0:28:13A shoe tree, actually. Someone's put this in.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I think on the telephone I mentioned a very modest price of sort of...
0:28:17 > 0:28:21- 20.- It was 20 to 30...- No, I couldn't afford 30.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23Not in these days!
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Do you think we could be somewhere near the middle?
0:28:26 > 0:28:30- I would go 15.- Could we say 18?
0:28:30 > 0:28:34- Yeah. 18.- £18.- That's a deal.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37And it's also another great return for The Maverick.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39A very healthy profit of £15.
0:28:39 > 0:28:44If he keeps making mark-ups like this, he'll win the show hands-down.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47David has driven over to North Yorkshire for his next meeting
0:28:47 > 0:28:52- and he's targeted his hopeful buyer very carefully.- You know what?
0:28:52 > 0:28:56I really want to see this fantastic quality chair
0:28:56 > 0:28:59employed for its original purpose - to be sat on and used.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03So where better to bring it, to an original Victorian fitted shop
0:29:03 > 0:29:07in Harrogate, to a retailer who needs seating for his clients.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09On paper, it looks good.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12On paper, maybe, but to the untrained eye,
0:29:12 > 0:29:18- it looks pretty ropey. David bought it for £20.- Jonathan, how are you?
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Very well thanks, David.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23I've got to tell you, I don't ordinarily wander around
0:29:23 > 0:29:25carrying a chair, then sitting down at people's desks!
0:29:25 > 0:29:27You know why I'm here!
0:29:27 > 0:29:31I'm just demonstrating just how stout and sturdy is it.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34Stand up and admire this baby.
0:29:35 > 0:29:40This is an example of a mid-19th century chair made out of rosewood.
0:29:40 > 0:29:45Cabriole legs, gorgeously carved back with these nice floral scrolls.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48In super condition, structurally - look at the base,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51look how it's been strengthened. This is from manufacture -
0:29:51 > 0:29:53all absolutely original.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59It's got a company stamp, which I've got to tell you is incredibly rare.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03I'm going to give you the best deal in the world - 50 quid.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06Do you know what, I thought you were going to say 100!
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- I want you to have it very badly. - Done.- Jonathan, you're a gentleman.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Oh, no - his starting price should have been much higher!
0:30:13 > 0:30:17Will he live to regret that? The chair brings in a profit of £30.
0:30:18 > 0:30:20So that's two sales each.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24But Mark takes flight again, this time with his owl clock.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28He thinks he's got the perfect buyer in mind in Horsham.
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I'm hoping to sell my carved Black Forest owl today to a friend,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35Paula, who is mad about owls and Black Forest items.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39What better place to come and sell it than at a bird of prey centre?
0:30:39 > 0:30:44- Wish me luck!- Best of luck! The Maverick paid £20.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Will he make a decent profit or look like a "twit-to-you"?
0:30:48 > 0:30:51- Isn't he wonderful? He's a tawny owl.- Absolutely beautiful.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55He's being so gentle. Have a little look at this one. This is the clock.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58The real one is much prettier than the clock!
0:30:58 > 0:31:00It is, but I'm not selling the real one!
0:31:00 > 0:31:04I think it's probably going to be sort of '70s, do you think?
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Maybe, maybe a bit earlier. How much?
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Well, I was hoping £40-£60.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I was thinking closer to 20.
0:31:13 > 0:31:15Paula, you can't be serious.
0:31:15 > 0:31:20- 35 is the absolute most I would go to.- My favourite number is eight.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23- No. 35.- Oh, Paula!
0:31:23 > 0:31:26If I didn't have an owl on my hand, I'd get on my knees!
0:31:26 > 0:31:2938 and that's it. OK.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32That wasn't much of a hoot for Mark.
0:31:32 > 0:31:37Paula didn't make it easy, but the clock chimes in a profit of £18.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Mark also sneaks in the sale of his Edwardian clock,
0:31:40 > 0:31:42a gentleman in Newhaven pays £30,
0:31:42 > 0:31:44making a profit of £10.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47Our two top trainers are going great guns
0:31:47 > 0:31:49and there's no sign of them slowing down.
0:31:49 > 0:31:52David is in the village of Romaldkirk to visit a pub
0:31:52 > 0:31:55which has a chess board but no pieces.
0:31:55 > 0:31:57See where he's going with this one?
0:31:57 > 0:31:59It's funny how antiques take you on a journey.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I bought this chess set at a car boot fair,
0:32:02 > 0:32:06now I'm taking it to one of the poshest pubs in the North of England.
0:32:06 > 0:32:08Quite a contrast.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Mr Harper paid £10 for his soapstone pieces,
0:32:11 > 0:32:18- but will head chef Henny pay any more?- Horsey...knight.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19Castles. Perfect, full set.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22I actually can't believe that is a full set.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27- I had a real...- A moment!- I thought that box does not contain a full set!
0:32:27 > 0:32:31What would you pay then, for a handmade chess set?
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- I don't know, are you going to guide me?- 50 quid.
0:32:35 > 0:32:38I'm afraid, for my money, you're way off the mark.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40- I'm not sure I'd want to go into double figures.- What?!
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Yeah, £8 is feeling about where I would be.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- I'll put it up to a tenner.- Oh, my gosh.- We've got to meet somewhere.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53I'll take £15 and that gives me a five-pound-note profit.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- All right, we'll do a deal at 15. - Oh, take the money quickly and run!
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Ooh, Henny haggles hard
0:32:59 > 0:33:02and pays less than a third of David's asking price.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05The little devil skulks back to Barnard Castle with
0:33:05 > 0:33:07a profit of just five pounds.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10So, we're roughly halfway through our selling spree.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12How are our mighty merchants getting on?
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Devilish David has so far struck three deals
0:33:16 > 0:33:18and is sitting pretty
0:33:18 > 0:33:20on a profit of £80.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Mark "The Maverick" however, has sold four items
0:33:22 > 0:33:24and is coming in slightly under
0:33:24 > 0:33:26his opponent in the profit stakes -
0:33:26 > 0:33:28£66.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30So, Mark has a little bit of catching up to do,
0:33:30 > 0:33:34which means his sad clown needs to put a smile on The Maverick's face.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38It cost him five pounds and he's brought it to a fancy dress shop
0:33:38 > 0:33:41in Bodiam to meet the owner, Gem.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44We chatted on the phone, didn't we, and I sent you some photographs
0:33:44 > 0:33:50of an item that I thought might lend itself to a fancy dress outlet.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54For putting business cards or pamphlets on. This is the item.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- I think he's quite fun.- I think it's delightful. It's very sweet.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00Is it something you'd like to make an offer on?
0:34:00 > 0:34:01Would you take 15 for it?
0:34:01 > 0:34:05If I do sell it to you, maybe you could let me try on
0:34:05 > 0:34:07a devil's outfit?
0:34:07 > 0:34:11So if I could possibly squeeze you up to say, 18?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- How about we make it 17.50 and we throw the costume in?- Absolutely!
0:34:15 > 0:34:18- You've got a deal. Thank you very much.- No problem at all.
0:34:18 > 0:34:23That went rather well. Another £12.50 for Mark's profit pot.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26So come on, let's see what he looks like in costume.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Can he out-devil Devilish David?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31David, I know you're the devilish one,
0:34:31 > 0:34:34but I can be a devil when it comes to money too!
0:34:34 > 0:34:36EVIL LAUGHTER ECHOES
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Yes... Scary little jumps.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Just what devils are known for(!)
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Maybe leave the devilish stuff to David, eh?
0:34:43 > 0:34:47Mark goes on to sell his Kashmiri bowl to a lady who lives
0:34:47 > 0:34:48just along the coast from Brighton.
0:34:48 > 0:34:54She pays £25, serving The Maverick with a profit of five pounds.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Now, remember David's Buddha head
0:34:56 > 0:34:58that Mark accidentally snapped off its stand?
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Well, concerned that David would lose out because of the damage,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05the Put Your Money gamesmasters offered to pay to have it repaired.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07However, David refused,
0:35:07 > 0:35:09saying he thought that Mark had actually done him a favour.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12So will that decision bring good fortune?
0:35:12 > 0:35:14He's off to meet his collector friend, Anthony,
0:35:14 > 0:35:18who lives in a very relaxing location in Barnard Castle.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23Buddha, the enlightened one. It's bronze.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26It's positively 19th-century.
0:35:26 > 0:35:29- Or earlier.- I think it's earlier.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- Look at the traces of gilding there. - I know.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35So that tells me that at some point,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37he was either all gilded or
0:35:37 > 0:35:40very often, as you know, what people did was go to worship
0:35:40 > 0:35:42an icon of some sort
0:35:42 > 0:35:47and they would rub a little bit of gilt every time they worshipped.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52Yes, it's charming, it really is a lovely, unique...
0:35:52 > 0:35:54- Would you like to own it? - You know I would.
0:35:54 > 0:35:5665.
0:35:56 > 0:35:57I know you, Ant,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01and I'm thinking that you don't think it's right to negotiate.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05I think you're right. Let's just be happy and thank you very much.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08A good home for a very interesting object.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09And the Buddha's head
0:36:09 > 0:36:11brings in a profit of £20,
0:36:11 > 0:36:14pushing David back out in front.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Now, in East Sussex, Mark's seeing fellow antiques dealer Ron,
0:36:17 > 0:36:19who collects medical antiques.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24So where better to try to sell the microscope box that cost him £10?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26That's a good thing.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29It needs some compartments putting in the inside there, but...
0:36:29 > 0:36:33- Where they're missing. That can be sorted.- But it's a good size.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37We'll find it very useful. I'm happy to give you £30 if it's any good.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39That's giving me quite a good profit,
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- so I'm happy to take 30 quid for it. - Good to deal with you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44That was quick and easy.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46The microscope box sees a profit
0:36:46 > 0:36:47of £20,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50so each of our boys has two items left to sell.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53They need to dig in and focus for the final furlong.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Still in Barnard Castle, David's brought his motoring mascot
0:36:57 > 0:37:00to a company that specialises in restoring classic cars.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03- And he's as happy as a pig in mud! - Look at this!
0:37:03 > 0:37:06My idea of a perfect day out.
0:37:06 > 0:37:10We've got a '95 XJS Cabriolet...
0:37:10 > 0:37:14We've got a '57 Jaguar XK 150...
0:37:14 > 0:37:19And, my gosh! We have a '68 Lotus Cortina.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21That, along with this,
0:37:21 > 0:37:25an American Art Deco, circa 1930, car mascot
0:37:25 > 0:37:28AND the right man who loves these objects...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I...am in heaven!
0:37:32 > 0:37:33The mascot owes David £20,
0:37:33 > 0:37:35so will one of the company's owners,
0:37:35 > 0:37:38- Dick, like it?- Wow.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41I know you are a passionate man, a passionate man!
0:37:41 > 0:37:45- Isn't she lovely?- Isn't she lovely. Art Deco...- Yeah.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- That's lovely, I like that. - It's not for a specific model, is it?
0:37:48 > 0:37:52- No.- You could put it on an Austin or... Do what you want.- Absolutely.
0:37:52 > 0:37:57There's a couple of cars over here. This is a Wolseley Hornet...
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- What year is this one? - About '35. That would...
0:38:01 > 0:38:03That's the kind of place you would find it.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- Would you like it for your collection?- What do you want for it?
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- 50 quid.- What about 40? - Meet in the middle?
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- 45?- I'm happy. Good man.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Gone to the right home. - Yes, it certainly looks that way.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18David's angel flies away,
0:38:18 > 0:38:20making him a profit of £25.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22That has made his inner engine
0:38:22 > 0:38:23run even faster
0:38:23 > 0:38:26and the finishing line is not too far away.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28In Brighton, Mark is going strong.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32He's off to sell his cake stand and he's been invited out for tea.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36And very pleasant, you might think, but this could get rather unusual!
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Brace yourselves, you've never seen a tea party like this,
0:38:40 > 0:38:41I promise you.
0:38:41 > 0:38:42# Who let the dogs out?
0:38:42 > 0:38:44# Who, who, who, who
0:38:44 > 0:38:46# Who let the dogs out?
0:38:46 > 0:38:48# Who, who, who, who
0:38:48 > 0:38:50# Who let the dogs out?
0:38:50 > 0:38:51# Who, who, who, who
0:38:51 > 0:38:54# Who let the dogs out? #
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Mark has brought his nephew's dog Bielke to see Helen and Maggie,
0:38:58 > 0:39:01who run a cafe that hosts tea parties for four-legged friends -
0:39:01 > 0:39:03and their human companions.
0:39:03 > 0:39:05So will they want his cake stand?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07You can't be serious?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09It's meant to be antique, not just old and rubbish.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11I just thought, wouldn't they be great
0:39:11 > 0:39:14- to put the trays of biscuits on?- No!
0:39:14 > 0:39:15Why?
0:39:15 > 0:39:18The dogs would eat them straight off!
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I know it's not a piece of rare Art Deco, but...
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- You're getting desperate, aren't you? - £10. Don't be harsh!- Let's say nine.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Let's say 9.50.- You are cheeky!
0:39:28 > 0:39:309.50!
0:39:30 > 0:39:32Somehow, Mark has his cake and eats it.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34A profit of £7.50.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Mark rounds off his supreme selling with a wooden glove box.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42It ends up going for £25 to a lady in Littlehampton and hands him
0:39:42 > 0:39:47a profit of £13. So we come round to David's last deal.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52He's driven all the way to central London. Let's hope it's worth it.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55The streets of London are paved with silver.
0:39:55 > 0:39:59My lovely, Edwardian Georgian-style silver sticks from the car boot
0:39:59 > 0:40:02have arrived here at Alfie's Market in London
0:40:02 > 0:40:06and this place is full of old-school antiques dealers
0:40:06 > 0:40:11and these pieces are real good stock for these guys.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16David paid £70, so will dealer Chris make a better offer?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18- Good to see you! How are you? - Fine, I'm wonderful!
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Look at you, can't keep your eyes off my candlesticks, can you!
0:40:22 > 0:40:28- The problem is the age.- They're Edwardian. In the Georgian style.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I haven't dated them, but I'd guess 1910.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34- They're 1904.- 1904? Bit better.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36OK. Very early Edwardian.
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Hollow.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Filled.- The filling breaks down, they rattle, like a child's shaker.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46That's right.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49These things are filled to keep them weighted so they stay on the table,
0:40:49 > 0:40:52because casting that in solid silver would be an absolute fortune.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56They've drilled this one and literally shook out the fillings
0:40:56 > 0:41:00because they were sick of it making a racket on the dining room table!
0:41:00 > 0:41:04How do you see them, Chris? 120, they can't be dear, can they?
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- I reckon those are 100 quid, dead. - OK. I can see that.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Would you meet me halfway at 110?
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Yeah, go on.- Thank you very much.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14You're always a good man, thanks, Chris.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Devilish David makes a decent final deal
0:41:17 > 0:41:19and £40 lands in his profit pot.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24So our experts are all sold out, but before we reveal today's winner,
0:41:24 > 0:41:27let's remind ourselves of what they spent at the car-boot sale.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30Both our boys arrived at the airfield
0:41:30 > 0:41:33with £250 of their own money to spend.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35"Devilish" David Harper bought
0:41:35 > 0:41:38six times and spent £190.
0:41:38 > 0:41:39Mark "The Maverick" Stacey
0:41:39 > 0:41:41bought a lot more for a lot less,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43nine deals for £94.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46But which turned out to be the best strategy?
0:41:46 > 0:41:48All of the profit that David
0:41:48 > 0:41:50and Mark have made from today's challenge will be going to the
0:41:50 > 0:41:54charities of their choice, so without further ado, let's
0:41:54 > 0:41:58find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- David Harper! How are you?- I'm loving the colour scheme there, Mark!
0:42:03 > 0:42:04- Thank you.- Looking good!
0:42:04 > 0:42:08- You look just like you stepped out of bed, lovely!- It's my pyjama top!
0:42:08 > 0:42:13- It's a great look! Listen, how did you do?- Not bad.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17My little Buddha head, I actually didn't make very much on it,
0:42:17 > 0:42:19but I loved the research.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23I sold my owl with an owl on my arm.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- You didn't?- A tawny owl, a real one.- A real one?
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- How are you feeling, confident?- No, I'm not! YOU'RE feeling confident.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- You're always feeling confident! - All right, I'm feeling confident!
0:42:33 > 0:42:36BOTH: Three, two, one!
0:42:36 > 0:42:38- Oh, but it wasn't too bad, David. - Oooh!
0:42:38 > 0:42:41- Very close indeed.- Well done.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- You're so cheeky, you don't mean it at all!- I do!
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I know you, you don't mean it! You can buy me a coffee.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- Oh, go on, then.- So, David did
0:42:50 > 0:42:51the business right at the end.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54He is our car booting champion.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Life isn't such a load of old cobblers,
0:42:56 > 0:42:59because I sold the last to a specialist cobblers,
0:42:59 > 0:43:03but still managed to lose! So maybe it IS a load of old cobblers.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06I don't go to nearly enough car boots.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08I need to go to them more often.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11I don't like getting out of bed so early, but let me tell you, when
0:43:11 > 0:43:15you have a result like that, it's worth getting out of bed any time.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17David may be today's winner,
0:43:17 > 0:43:21but what will happen when our daring duo do battle again tomorrow?
0:43:21 > 0:43:25There will be bids flying in all directions at an auction in London.
