0:00:43 > 0:00:47Today, everyone's favourite cheeky chancer Mark Franks
0:00:47 > 0:00:53takes on the supreme sage of the saleroom, Phil Serrell, at a car boot near Romford.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Coming up, will Phil take his haggling too far?
0:00:56 > 0:01:00- That looks to me like it's a fiver. - Sorry!
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Mark plays the long game.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06- Can you squeeze it up to 30? - Unfortunately not.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Would £29.99 be too much?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13Phil reveals a secret to ageing items.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17What it wants is either cow manure or yoghurt on it.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21It promotes moss growth and it will just age it a bit.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Welcome to another epic encounter.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Two almighty antiques powerhouses are charged up
0:01:43 > 0:01:46and ready to electrify the battlefield.
0:01:46 > 0:01:51They must surge through the stalls to find the best items to bolt out a premium profit.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55In highly pressurised conditions, who will move like lightning
0:01:55 > 0:01:58and who will short-circuit?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01First up, a dealer with the greatest gift of the gab going.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04A man with an eye for a blinding buy.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06He's south London's savviest streetwise sleuth,
0:02:06 > 0:02:09it's Mark "Franksy" Franks.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12This place is full of bargains.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Next up, a man with 35 years of auction experience
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and a wit larger than life itself.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21He's one of the hardest hagglers the world has ever seen,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24he's the greatest dealer in Great Malvern.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26It's Phil "The Fox" Serrell.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30I do know that you've got to buy quick and sharp.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Car booters start at the crack of dawn
0:02:33 > 0:02:35and our gladiators are no different.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Bleary eyed or not, our Titanic traders must hunt down the most delectable deals
0:02:40 > 0:02:44here at the Bonza Car Boot Sale near Romford in Essex.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48But it's all well worth it. This field is brimming with bargains.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52It's got everything a man could desire, including the kitchen sink.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56Our experts certainly have the means to make light work of this sale.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00They've each brought £250 of their own money and once all selling is done,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03any profits they make will go straight to their chosen charities.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06It's all about old-fashioned focus,
0:03:06 > 0:03:10raucous risk-taking and some barefaced cheek thrown in as well.
0:03:10 > 0:03:11No problem there then.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Mark Franks and Phil Serrell, it may be 6:00 in the morning
0:03:15 > 0:03:18but it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20What have you done to me?
0:03:20 > 0:03:23You've brought me to a field in Essex at this time of day.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26Where I come from, the only thing in fields are cows and corn.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29- What's going on?- I've brought the sun with me, Philip.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32I don't care about the weather, as long as we're together.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35We've got 250 quid, there's not many stallholders.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Let's go and have some fun. Come on big boy!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Oh, look at Phil's face. That's not going to help his early morning mood.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46He's not known for his cheeriness at the best of times.
0:03:46 > 0:03:52The car boot might not be The Fox's natural habitat but will he have a cunning strategy
0:03:52 > 0:03:55to outfox the oh so confident Mr Franks?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I've probably been to less than 10 car boot sales in my life.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I really don't know what I'm doing here.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04But I do know that you've got to buy quick and sharp.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06If you don't get in quick, you'll miss the boat.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Well, he's certainly sharp. Quick? Not so much.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Franksy, on the other hand, could not feel more at home.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Philip doesn't do a lot of car boot sales.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18I've done a fair few in my time. My strategy is really simple.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Go to the vans first. Come on, this is where we start.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Franksy clearly has the upper hand but don't underestimate Phil.
0:04:25 > 0:04:31He might be a relative novice but both our bargain hunters will battle to bring home the bacon.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34These stalls are really good, you never know what you're going to find.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36You have to really look and concentrate.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38That is exactly what foxy Phil is doing.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Straightaway, he sniffs out potential.
0:04:41 > 0:04:44How much are your decanters please?
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Four for £10.- How much?
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Do you sleep at night?
0:04:51 > 0:04:54They're antique and everything.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57These, to me, honestly,
0:04:57 > 0:05:02look as if they're about a pound or two really.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Don't tell everyone. - A fiver for both?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- That's not a pound or two, is it? - Mum, it's up to you?
0:05:10 > 0:05:14Well, I would like more than one pound.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17- I'll give you three quid for the two. - No, five?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- I'll give you 4.5 but I won't pay five, honestly.- Do it.- Are you sure?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You're an angel, thank you.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Yes, Phil spotted his prey and went in for the kill,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30driving the price right down. No mercy whatsoever.
0:05:30 > 0:05:33Do you know, I think I might have been a bit mean with that lovely lady
0:05:33 > 0:05:37but trust me, second-hand glassware is really, really cheap.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41These are, I think, probably 40 or 50 years old.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44They have star cut bases which you can see there.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47This is almost like hobnail cut but they're not the best quality.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50If you have a look at this, you can see the stopper,
0:05:50 > 0:05:54it doesn't even sit on there square so these aren't the best quality
0:05:54 > 0:05:56but they are just a serviceable, cheap pair of decanters.
0:05:58 > 0:06:02£4? There's got to be a profit in those. I hope.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04A bit early for self-doubt, Mr Serrell.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Time to jog on though, because Mark is hot on your heels.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10He has spotted something sparkly in the distance.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13He decides there's no point in reflecting on it.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Quite nice, isn't it?
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- Let's find out the price. - So he wastes no time.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21How much on that?
0:06:21 > 0:06:26A couple of quid, I'll have that. A couple of quid. Here you go, mate.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29Mr Serrell, where are you now?
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I've just spent £2 on this. Now, what is it?
0:06:33 > 0:06:39This is a mahogany framed mirror, Victorian. Lovely, lovely.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43All this work, all these leaves would have been done with a turning wheel.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45The wheel would have spun and spun and spun,
0:06:45 > 0:06:47cutting away and then it would have been mirrored
0:06:47 > 0:06:52or mercury covered to give you that lovely, lovely shine.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Give that a clean-up, suddenly we're looking at something from £2
0:06:56 > 0:07:01to £32, 42, 52,
0:07:01 > 0:07:0362, 72...
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Mark Franks, a wealth of knowledge, but will his knowledge bring wealth?
0:07:06 > 0:07:09He's certainly sounding confident.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Phil is starting to find his fighting feet.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14You look, you definitely are going to find something.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I think I've found the perfect lot for Mark Franks.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22A pink tiger striped onesie! Right up Franksy's street.
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Just like that hat!
0:07:24 > 0:07:28Phil bounces back into action for a good trawl of the stalls
0:07:28 > 0:07:32and Mark gets a handle on his next potential deal.
0:07:32 > 0:07:38- Where did you find those? - In the garden.- Just knocking around? Smashing.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- What have you got on them? - How about a score for them?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46A score? For those not in the know, that's £20.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- How about 15 quid? 15. - It's early yet.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's all I've got. I've just spent two over there, 18.
0:07:53 > 0:07:59- Think of the money, you don't want to take it home with you.- I do. - You don't.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01So, what have I bought? Let's have a look at one of them.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03That makes a lot easier.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05This would have been on a door
0:08:05 > 0:08:07and this is to stop you touching the door
0:08:07 > 0:08:12because it would have been made of timber and to stop the grease from your fingers damaging the door,
0:08:12 > 0:08:14door plates they're called, the handle is there
0:08:14 > 0:08:18and if you look really closely at the top, there's a number.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20That's probably a registered design number.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22A nice bit of decoration there.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27Look closely and you can see around the edge there, it is lined out.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Each of these are bevelled which shows a bit of quality.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Nicely finished, 1910 or 1920.
0:08:34 > 0:08:3818 quid, you couldn't get plastic ones made for that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41So, Mark already has a good grip on today's challenge
0:08:41 > 0:08:45but Phil is hot on his tail. He's been flashing the cash as well.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48He's just paid £65 for a pine table.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52You go back to the 19th century and mahogany and oak and walnut,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55they filled the big rooms in the house.
0:08:55 > 0:09:00They were what a gentleman used. The servants, they had pine.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05Now, pine is really collectable and this is a pine desk.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09No great age to it, at very best, it's back end of the 19th century.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10At worst, it's 20th century.
0:09:10 > 0:09:16This has cost me £65 and I'm hoping, well, if I'm really lucky,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20there might be 50 quid profit in it so fingers crossed for me.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Really pleased with this.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Our boys have made two purchases each and it's only 7am.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27Yes, there's no stopping them.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30They're already sniffing out their next deal
0:09:30 > 0:09:32or indulging in their rivalry.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35So, Mr Serrell, how are you getting on then, old boy?
0:09:35 > 0:09:39The old box, look at him, Foxy Serrell!
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Yes, don't you be worrying about Phil, Mark.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45He's stealthily hunting around, hands behind his back.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Calmness personified. Franksy however can't contain his excitement.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53My alarm went off this morning at 4am.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56There were already people at the car boot sale by then.
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I'll tell you what I am, I am absolutely tired.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03I've just bought this tyre. It's a motor bike tyre.
0:10:03 > 0:10:08It's Avon, which is a make I've heard of. It was £25.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11If you look at it, it's still got the line running around it
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and it's still got this label on it.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Now, these bits here show that it hasn't been on the road,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20cos it's still got this from when it was pressed in a mould.
0:10:20 > 0:10:22I don't know what it would cost new,
0:10:22 > 0:10:25but I know it wouldn't have been £25.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30All I've got to do now is sell it, and I'll no longer be TYRED...
0:10:30 > 0:10:31I'll be loaded!
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Mark is really into the swing of things, and pulls out ahead.
0:10:35 > 0:10:40Across the field, Phil's been casting around to try and snag a potential catch.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44A fish-shaped fountain marked up at £20.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47- You won't want to be taking this home, will you?- Yeah, no problem.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Get out of here. That looks to me like it's a fiver.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58Oh, Phil! The man looks insulted. Has our haggling hero gone too far?
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- What will you do it for?- Sorry...
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I'll knock a fiver off it, you can have it for 15, but it's...
0:11:07 > 0:11:10- I've got to make it look old, haven't I?- You'll make 30 quid on it.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13How does a tenner look like, not to carry it home?
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- See, I'm learning.- No.- Oh, go on.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18No. I was really doing it to you cheap at 15.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I can't do much cheaper than that.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Much, or at all?
0:11:22 > 0:11:2313 quid, you can check me out.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Go on. You're a gentlemen, thank you very much.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29I have just bought...
0:11:29 > 0:11:33a concrete fish, for £13.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Why have I bought a concrete fish?
0:11:36 > 0:11:38I told you. Fish out of water.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40# Under the sea
0:11:40 > 0:11:42# Under the sea... #
0:11:43 > 0:11:46Phil swims off, gasping for air.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48No such problems for Mark -
0:11:48 > 0:11:51he's hoping his next find might give him a leg up.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Yeah. Nice set of ladders.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Do you know what, I'm not even going to make you an offer.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03- You've said a fiver and a fiver it is. I'll take those.- Thanks, mate.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Lovely. OK...
0:12:06 > 0:12:09So what have I bought? Set of ladders. What for?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10It's the only way to get to the top.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13What I'm going to do is rub down the treads,
0:12:13 > 0:12:15paint the rest of it white,
0:12:15 > 0:12:18and I'm thinking some sort of shop, use it as a display,
0:12:18 > 0:12:21perhaps a florist, with some plants on it.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Dunno. It's got a chance. It's a fiver.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Thank you very much.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Another step in the right direction, and he's happy.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Franksy's very comfortable at the car boot, and it shows.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Thing about the car boot sale, it's all about looking at the potential of things as they can be.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41It's not always what they ARE.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46Like the ladders - give them a coat of paint, rub them down, they suddenly look wonderful.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50You've only got to look at what you can make something into to make the money.
0:12:50 > 0:12:53So, while Franksy wanders off to conjure up more magic,
0:12:53 > 0:12:55let's see how our dynamic duo are doing.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01Our experts started the day with £250 of their own money.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Mark "Franksy" Franks is proving himself a cunning car booter -
0:13:05 > 0:13:07four purchases for £50.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10That leaves him £200 to spend, spend, spend.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14Phil "The Fox" Serrell might not like car boots
0:13:14 > 0:13:16but he's haggling very hard.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19He's made three buys so far for £82,
0:13:19 > 0:13:23so he's got £168 still in his kitty.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Reduced the value of this sofa somewhat by you sitting on it.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30You are so loud!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34I'm considering buying this book, cos this is a steal at a quid.
0:13:34 > 0:13:38- How do you do it? - Well, come on, it's a doddle, mate.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39It's bargain after bargain after bargain,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42it's just like a licence to print, the car boot sale.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Have you spent lots?
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I don't know how much I've spent, I've bought a few items though.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Really?- I could spend £1,000 here easily.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- How do you do that, then? - I don't know.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm going to go and concentrate the mind.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Perhaps you need a strong black coffee mate.- I'm up and at 'em now.
0:13:58 > 0:14:04Never before has Phil Serrell moved so fast! Let's see it again.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Yes, he slides out of that leatherette armchair like a greyhound out of the traps.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And now that Franksy's upped the ante, Phil is up and at 'em.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15I think this really is the home turf of Mark Franks,
0:14:15 > 0:14:17and he's going round here like a whirling dervish
0:14:17 > 0:14:20but actually I don't think I've done too badly.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I've had some quick buys, and I'm quite pleased with what I've bought.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I still need to find some more, though.
0:14:26 > 0:14:27It's got to be here somewhere.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Yes, our Phil is like a changed man.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33Energised. Confident. You might even say...happy.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37But he's off and running at a terrific pace,
0:14:37 > 0:14:42and almost immediately his auctioneer eye spies something else to get excited about.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Just behind me there's a box of old London Illustrated News prints
0:14:46 > 0:14:49and engravings, that sort of thing. I think they've been all cut up.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52The value in them is they're just decorative items,
0:14:52 > 0:14:54and there might be some that you can salvage.
0:14:54 > 0:14:59They're all priced individually, but I'm going to try and buy the whole shooting match.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- Are these yours, good sir? - They are, yes.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07- You selling them individually or the lot?- I'll sell 'em individually.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Good price for the lot. - How much is a good price?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14For a load of cut-up old newspapers.
0:15:14 > 0:15:1525 quid.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18I'll give you 15 quid the lot.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Come on, 15 quid and you'll be a gentleman.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- All right, then, give me 15. - You're a gentleman. Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27- So that's all the whole shooting batch?- Yeah. Everything there.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31What have I done? Anyway, it'll be a bit to read, won't it?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- Cheers, matey.- Cheers. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Put very simply, you know, you go and buy a newspaper today,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39and there are photographs.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43In these days - this is an engraving that's done by an artist.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48It's a work of art in its own right, and here it is reproduced in a paper.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51And I'm sure there's got to be something amongst this lot I can do something with.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54Yes, there's no stopping Mr Serrell. He's racking up the deals.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58This is a man who lives in a world of prime pieces,
0:15:58 > 0:16:02amazing antiquities, items that tell a story.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05So, what extraordinary, exceptional,
0:16:05 > 0:16:09exquisite objet d'art will he view next?
0:16:09 > 0:16:12Yes, that's right - a metal filing cabinet.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14How much you offer me, please?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17A fiver, and no more.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- OK! For you.- Good man. You're a gentleman.- I like Serrell!
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Thank you very much.- Good man, good man. There we are.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- Thank you very much. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Thank you very much indeed.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I've just bought a steel cabinet! I think it's quite a trendy thing.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36And this sort of warehouse look is quite in at the minute.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42This is probably a 1960s steel filing drawers.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44You all hear the term "vintage" and "retro"
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and you always wonder what it is, and I've always thought
0:16:47 > 0:16:50"vintage" and "retro" were terms were another word for second-hand.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well, this is second-hand, it's vintage and it's retro.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55It's all of those things, and it's what people want.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57I'm really quite pleased with that.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I'm getting the hang of this. I wouldn't want anybody to think I'm enjoying it
0:17:00 > 0:17:03but I've bought some lots, I'm really pleased.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07And that's the confirmation we were waiting for - Foxy is having fun!
0:17:07 > 0:17:10And he's got Franksy to thank for kicking him into action.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14Mark is at a van that has a couple of items he's interested in.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16A bike and a small glass jar.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Yeah, it's pretty, innit?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- It's got a bent top, that's the only killer. - Yeah, little bit crooked, innit?
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- Give me a price on that, and that push-bike there.- 60 for the pair?
0:17:27 > 0:17:2955. Come on!
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- Go on, go on. - Deal, lovely. Gentleman.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Right, come here, you, let's see what we've bought.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Right, now - dirty old black push-bike. Come a little closer.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Look at the make, down the side. Nice make.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Good pedals. Disc brakes.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47When I was a kid, we didn't have brakes, let alone disc brakes.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50And also, I've just bought this.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53This is lovely. This is a little silver-topped pot.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56The top's a bit winky-wonky, I can get that straightened out.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59There's a nice hallmark there - made in London.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01It's in great condition.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04This has all been turned on a wheel
0:18:04 > 0:18:08and all this work's been chiselled out of it. Beautiful.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11That is a good little buy.
0:18:11 > 0:18:1355 quid the pair,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17so I'm going to quote this to 15 quid, this to 40 quid,
0:18:17 > 0:18:18and er...I'm out of here.
0:18:18 > 0:18:23# I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike... #
0:18:23 > 0:18:26No hands! No hands.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Ooh, look at him go. Our daredevil dealer decides to call it a day.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35That's it. I'm going home.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Phil is having too much fun to call it quits.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40He's still out there, hunting around.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45- What's that?- It's an old-fashioned brooch.- I'm old-fashioned.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51- How much is this? Please.- To you?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53To me. It's my colour.
0:18:53 > 0:18:58- It's the red that appeals to me. - 22.- Is it?- Yeah.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01What's the best you can do?
0:19:01 > 0:19:04As you are a nice man, £20.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07- It's got enamel on it. - It's quite nice, isn't it?
0:19:07 > 0:19:08Quite a lot of writing on the back.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14I'm going to try...
0:19:14 > 0:19:1615 quid.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20It's a good try but if you get another three pounds out of your pocket it will be a deal.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I haven't got another three pounds.
0:19:23 > 0:19:2518.
0:19:30 > 0:19:32One more.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Go on, one more.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39- It's a deal.- Thank you very much.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42He does like to play his little games but it pays off.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The enamel brooch is his for £17.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49I really love this little Norwegian brooch.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52It's silver marked up as silver but doesn't
0:19:52 > 0:19:54have an English hallmark on it.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59It's Norwegian and some of the great Scandinavian silversmiths
0:19:59 > 0:20:03and jewel makers like Georg Jensen hugely sought after today, and
0:20:03 > 0:20:08in a way silver as a piece of ladies jewellery is more popular than gold.
0:20:08 > 0:20:13And what I love about this, it's got these beautiful bright enamel colours.
0:20:13 > 0:20:18I'm not sure how old it is, it could be anywhere from, I don't know,
0:20:18 > 0:20:241950s onwards but it cost me £17.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27I don't think that's any money at all for a really sweet piece
0:20:27 > 0:20:31of jewellery and I think, for me, it's quite a trendy bit of jewellery.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34Hm, Phil Serrell the trend-setter, who'd have thought it?
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So, will the brooch prove to be the jewel in his crown?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41Only time will tell. For now, let's tot up the trinket tally.
0:20:42 > 0:20:46Mark and Phil each arrived in Essex with a budget of £250.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Mark threw himself into it backing six bargains for £105.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Phil finished with a strong spending spree
0:20:54 > 0:20:59and leads with six items having spent a little more, £119.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05So, with the deals done and dusted, how are they feeling now?
0:21:05 > 0:21:09- How are you doing? - Mate, I've got to shake your hand.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13I looked behind at this madness and you've bought antiques
0:21:13 > 0:21:14and old stuff.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18I think you've done amazingly well for somebody who wasn't enjoying themselves.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21I felt so out of my comfort zone
0:21:21 > 0:21:24and I sort of warmed to the task. It was OK.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27You found some brass amongst the muck.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Yeah, I'm quite pleased with what I bought, actually.- So you should be.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- The mirror is really cool.- It was expensive. Two quid.- Two pounds.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37A pair of decanters, they must be a few quid.
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- Yeah, four.- Four pounds!
0:21:39 > 0:21:44- What is the bike all about then? - I just think there's a profit.
0:21:44 > 0:21:49It's a really good make, it has disc brakes, a million gears.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52- I like that.- That's got good potential. You know it.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55That could be something special, couldn't it?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57You think of Norwegian silver, Georg Jensen
0:21:57 > 0:22:01and I think that might have some potential.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03I think we've done really well.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05These are a bit behind the times.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08You've spoiled that lovely moment!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Our two battle-hardened heroes now take their foraged finds
0:22:15 > 0:22:19and return home. And they need to get down to business.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Finding buyers for their booty is much harder than it seems.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26It requires detailed research and plundering their extensive
0:22:26 > 0:22:29contacts books to make sure they turn the biggest profit
0:22:29 > 0:22:31possible. But, remember, until they have shaken on it
0:22:31 > 0:22:35and the money has changed hands no deal is truly sealed.
0:22:35 > 0:22:39Time to find out their plans and there's news just in,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42let's go over to our reporter in Worcestershire, Phil The Fox.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Here is the breaking news from Malvern.
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Philip Serrell has been sent to a field in Essex with £250
0:22:47 > 0:22:49and what does he come back with?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Well, there's a metal cabinet and a concrete fish,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54still no point in carping about that now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Look at this wonderful desk.
0:22:56 > 0:22:5965 quid. How can I fail to make a profit out of that?
0:22:59 > 0:23:01But this lot is fantastic.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Illustrated London News all cut up and I think, in a way,
0:23:04 > 0:23:08they are quite an educational toy because if you gave those to children
0:23:08 > 0:23:11and they could use them to learn history they would be fantastic.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14At £4 for these decanters, how can I fail with those?
0:23:14 > 0:23:17And this has got to be my star buy.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20I didn't know at the time but it's by a man called Anderson,
0:23:20 > 0:23:25cost me £17, should make £80-£100.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28How good is that and I didn't even know when I bought it!
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Well, Phil is clearly confident,
0:23:30 > 0:23:34but over in south London Mark is feeling pretty punchy himself.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Lovely brass door plates, really nice.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Look at the pierced top.
0:23:39 > 0:23:4218 quid, they are a snip.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46And a little silver bottle, the glass is all really heavily engraved
0:23:46 > 0:23:49and it is lovely, solid silver top.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53A great mountain bike, it's a good quality make,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57it's got disc brakes, ooh, when I was a kid, hadn't been invented!
0:23:57 > 0:24:00A brand-new motorcycle tyre
0:24:00 > 0:24:04and a mahogany mirror, two pounds.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06What I'd really like to do with this mirror,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10if the adjudicator will let me, is put it into Philip Serrell's
0:24:10 > 0:24:15auction house and watch him squirm as he has to make me a profit.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17The ladders, these are lovely.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22These are turn-of-the-century, 100 years old, as solid as you like.
0:24:22 > 0:24:23They are made of pine.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26There are so money things I can do with these, I've got someone in mind.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31These were a fiver, it's a no-brainer, these are a profit.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33This is going to be the stairway to me winning.
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Well, not if Phil has anything to do with it because, like
0:24:37 > 0:24:40a finely honed athlete, it is the Fox who springs into action first.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44He starts his mammoth mission by taking his pine table
0:24:44 > 0:24:46across to Herefordshire to a furniture shop.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Phil is meeting the shop's owner Nick,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53so will he give Phil a profit on the £65 that he laid out?
0:24:53 > 0:24:57I am a bit of a car boot novice, but that table I bought, I thought
0:24:57 > 0:25:00it was really cheap and this is the place to sell it.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02They've got lots of other similar stuff,
0:25:02 > 0:25:04I'm hoping I can make a really good profit on this one.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10- That's a fine table, isn't it? - Nice table, yeah.- Is it all right?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Yeah, it's good, I think. A nice saleable thing.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- It looks like it's Victorian. - It isn't though!- It's Elizabethan!
0:25:16 > 0:25:18The second.
0:25:18 > 0:25:23But when I saw it, I thought it was probably... institution,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27possibly out of the school or a government building.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31- That's exactly where it's come from, I think.- I bought this for £65.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35I think it's worth close to £200 and I think that will still leave you with a profit.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- We wouldn't quite pay that. - Come on then, how much?
0:25:38 > 0:25:42- I'll try one and a half.- You can try but you can try a bit harder.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44What are you looking at then?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46The bottom line for me is...
0:25:46 > 0:25:51I think it's worth 165 quid which is £100 profit for me, which is
0:25:51 > 0:25:53fantastic and quite rare for me
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but I think honestly it's worth that.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59- I think that's fair. I'm quite happy with that.- You're a gentleman.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Yes, he is off and running well, sprinting actually.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05A whopping £100 profit for the table
0:26:05 > 0:26:10and for someone who doesn't like car boots it's a very promising start.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Which means this competition is already looking like it has
0:26:13 > 0:26:16more twists and turns than a game of Snakes And Ladders.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Talking of which, Mark takes his ladder to Carshalton
0:26:19 > 0:26:22to an organisation that gives people with learning difficulties
0:26:22 > 0:26:27the chance to restore furniture and then sell it on themselves.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31Hello, chaps, how are you doing? These ladders, I saved these.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34These are Victorian, they're about 100 years old. They still work.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37- What would you do to them, any ideas?- Sand it down.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40That's not a bad idea. Are we up for doing a bit of that then?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42- I think so.- All right then.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45Steve, follow Nick. Come on, are you coming down there?
0:26:45 > 0:26:47You've got to, I need some helpers!
0:26:47 > 0:26:53# Now, there are three steps to heaven... #
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Now he knows that Nick the manager is interested,
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Franksy follows the guys down to the workshop.
0:26:58 > 0:27:03So, will Mark make some money on the £5 he paid for the ladders?
0:27:03 > 0:27:06So, Nick, this is where it all happens, this is the workshop.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09So, the boring bit is I can't give you these.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- I do need to sell them so can we talk money?- Yep.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Make me an offer I can't refuse.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I was thinking about, somewhere in the region of the 10 or £15 mark.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22- I will accept the higher offer, £15. How's that?- OK.- We've got a deal.
0:27:22 > 0:27:23Brilliant.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28Mark makes a profit of £10 and the team get to work straightaway.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33What a lovely bunch of people and great fun.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35I've made a small profit,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39they will make a profit and I can't wait to see the finished product.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41See you later.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43With Mark climbing the ladder of success,
0:27:43 > 0:27:48Phil looks like he might be getting ready to hit the bottle, surely not!
0:27:48 > 0:27:49I'm hoping to sell these decanters
0:27:49 > 0:27:52and there's no better place than Worcester's oldest wine merchants
0:27:52 > 0:27:55and I hope my friend Nigel who might just buy these
0:27:55 > 0:27:57is going to be down in the cellars.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04EVIL LAUGHTER
0:28:04 > 0:28:07And so our hero descends to the depths
0:28:07 > 0:28:10of Worcester's dark underworld.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13Will he emerge with a profit? Will he emerge at all?
0:28:13 > 0:28:17I've brought you these decanters. I don't think they are as old as you and I.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21No, I don't think they are old at all. They are nice modern ones.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Are they different shapes for different booze?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Whisky ones have tended to be square.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29People don't really use whisky decanters very much these days.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- What are they worth, Nigel? Not too much.- Not a lot.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36Are they worth 30 quid? Here we go, sharp intake of breath.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Well, I suppose £15 each, we could say yes to that.- You are a scholar.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- All we've got to do now is find something to put in them.- Absolutely.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- That'll be fun.- Not so fast, Phil, there's still a lot of work to do.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Our wily one distils a neat £26 profit on the decanters,
0:28:51 > 0:28:54more than six times what he paid for them.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Mark really is on the back foot now.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02Talking of Mark, where is he? And who's that?
0:29:02 > 0:29:03It's only me.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07I'm in Tooting, I've got a tyre, I've got a mate who owns a motorbike shop.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I've only got to sell him a tyre and make a profit
0:29:10 > 0:29:13and the bonus of it all, he's going to lend me a big motorbike -
0:29:13 > 0:29:16Harley-Davidson, Honda, Suzuki, I don't care.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19I'm going for a ride.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- Mark is here to see Paul and his dog, Sadie.- How are you, Paul?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Hello, Mark. Unusual for you to be coming in here.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33I've got all the clobber on. Got a lovely tyre for you to look at. Still got the label on it.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36And more importantly if we do a deal on this, you did say I could
0:29:36 > 0:29:39borrow a motorbike, I've really got my eye on that one behind you.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42- We'll see what we can do.- OK, mate. What do you think of the tyre?
0:29:42 > 0:29:45It's not bad. A bit of old stock but it's all right.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48The bloke asked me 40 quid for it, I bashed him down to 25 quid
0:29:48 > 0:29:50and that's what I paid for it.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53- Is there a profit in that for you, Paul?- Yeah, I think so.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- Make me an offer.- 30 quid on that one.- 35 and I'll give you a handshake.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59- No, 30 quid. 32.- 32.
0:29:59 > 0:30:0132, champion.
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Mark makes a profit of £7 on the tyre
0:30:03 > 0:30:07which means it must be time to take one of the bikes for a spin.
0:30:07 > 0:30:09- Is it a Harley?- Close.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13- Paul, is it the Honda?- No, mate.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Much much better than that.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- What about this? - Nice but it's better.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21- Suzuki.- No, no. This is it.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- This is a bit of you.- What, this?!
0:30:24 > 0:30:28- Is it a motorbike?- It is. Just.- Great(!)
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Oh, well, Mark, it's not the size of your bike that counts.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Daredevil Franksy is obviously on a roll
0:30:37 > 0:30:41because he sells the black push-bike he bought to a bike enthusiast
0:30:41 > 0:30:44for £50 and Mark makes a profit of £10,
0:30:44 > 0:30:47so what cunning scheme is he planning for his next sale?
0:30:47 > 0:30:50Do you remember that tired-looking mirror
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I bought at a car boot sale for literary couple of quid?
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Well, it had a nasty crack in it which I've now glued up,
0:30:57 > 0:31:01which was there, and I've waxed it so it's now shiny.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03This is mahogany.
0:31:03 > 0:31:07It's beautiful. I've cleaned the glass...
0:31:09 > 0:31:12And that's ready to go back in. Look, how lovely is that?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Now, I'm going to wrap it up and send it to Phil's auction house.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19One restored mirror bought at a car boot sale for £2,
0:31:19 > 0:31:23Phil really liked it so I'm going to give him the pleasure of selling it.
0:31:23 > 0:31:29I know his minimum lot price is a fiver so I am into a profit already.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Well, it could always fail to sell.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35These tactics might be underhand but they are not against the rules
0:31:35 > 0:31:39and the very next day the mirror arrives at Phil's saleroom.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42What's this?
0:31:44 > 0:31:48"To Phil, please sell for me, love Franksy."
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- He's got some cheek, hasn't he? - You can say that again.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53But that's why everybody loves him.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56Fantastic Mr Fox will put the mirror in his next auction
0:31:56 > 0:31:58and we will see what happens later.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03But now, let's see how they're doing.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Mark "Franksy" Franks has so far sold three of his items,
0:32:06 > 0:32:08but he's only made £27 profit.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Phil "The Fox" Serrell might have only sold two items
0:32:14 > 0:32:18but he's way out in front in profit terms with an impressive £126.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23And there we were all thinking this would be Franksy's game
0:32:23 > 0:32:26but if anyone can claw it back, it's Mark.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Phil jumps in with the next potential sale
0:32:28 > 0:32:32and he's going considerably upmarket for his newspaper cuttings.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34This is my box full of car boot history
0:32:34 > 0:32:37and if you want to sell history, who better to sell it to
0:32:37 > 0:32:41than Sir Nicholas Lechmere, eighth baronet. Well, here's hoping.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50- Nick, how are you?- Very well, thanks, Philip. Good to see you.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53When I bought these, they were £15
0:32:53 > 0:32:58and clearly someone has brought them with a view to chopping them up and selling them to American tourists,
0:32:58 > 0:33:01but I thought they would make a great teaching aid for history lessons
0:33:01 > 0:33:05in the 19th-century and I thought of you having, how many children, is it?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Four.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Are these of interest to you, Nick? - Of course they are, Philip.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12They are intriguing, you only have to turn the page over
0:33:12 > 0:33:15and there something else fascinating underneath.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18I thought they'd be great for papering the loo.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21You can sit down and read till your heart's content.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23What are you looking for, Philip?
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- Well, I was thinking they should be worth 50 quid.- 50 quid?
0:33:27 > 0:33:31- And the shirt off my back! - Come on, Nick.- I could...
0:33:33 > 0:33:37- Make me an offer I can't refuse, Nick.- 45, Philip.- Really?
0:33:37 > 0:33:40That's absolutely fantastic! Really, really fantastic.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43Honestly, you are a gentleman.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47Phil cuts a deal for the cuttings and makes a profit of £30.
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Phil is looking unstoppable and this is now getting rather
0:33:53 > 0:33:56serious for Mark, but he is a fighter.
0:33:56 > 0:34:00For Franksy's next sale, we join Phil again because it's auction day
0:34:00 > 0:34:04at Phil's saleroom and the time has come for him to make some money.
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- For Mark.- Lot 249, actually a very nice little mirror. There you are.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11Ooh, that hurts!
0:34:11 > 0:34:14Mark is being treated exactly like all of Phil's other customers,
0:34:14 > 0:34:18paying the normal fees and when the gavel goes down...
0:34:18 > 0:34:20£35.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24Well, it pays off for Franksy. The mirror only cost him £2.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26This is the moment of truth, I am sort of dreading it,
0:34:26 > 0:34:31but it's time to tell Franksy exactly what's happened.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35I tell you what, I've got to change my screensaver.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37'Hello, silver fox, how the devil are you?!'
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Franksy, how are you doing, mate, all right?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- What did you pay for that mirror? - 200 pence.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- It was two quid, wasn't it? Yeah. - How much did it sell for?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48It sold for 35 quid.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51I got just over 11 quid in commission
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and the VAT man just over a pound.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57So you've ended up with just over £22.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Cheers, mate. You make me feel so special(!)
0:35:00 > 0:35:04So, after all the deductions, Mark's mirror makes a profit of £20.06.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08So, now he's done helping his opponent,
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Phil can get back to the job in hand.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15It takes the £5 filing drawers to Clive, who also lives in Malvern
0:35:15 > 0:35:18and specialises in vintage and retro furniture.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23I'm not quite sure I get this industrial-type look.
0:35:23 > 0:35:27There are certain people who will be wanting to buy this.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30For example, for their kitchen.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33They might polish it up slightly or we can prime it
0:35:33 > 0:35:34and paint the whole thing.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35I bought this at a car boot sale
0:35:35 > 0:35:38and I was thinking I'd get between 20 and £30 for it.
0:35:38 > 0:35:43To be honest, I think the condition it is in, handles falling out.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- It is actual rust.- It's industrial, people want that!
0:35:47 > 0:35:50You can't fake this rust, Clive. That's what people want.
0:35:50 > 0:35:55- I would be looking at around £15. - Watch it, Phil, you don't want to add any more dents.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00When I stop doing it, it won't hurt. How much did you say?
0:36:00 > 0:36:05- I would do £20.- Thank you very much, see you soon, Clive. Lovely job.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08Never one to hang about once he's got what he wants,
0:36:08 > 0:36:13Phil scarpers is with a profit of £15.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Good old Clive.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18He reckons he's going to have a buyer for that, but I tell you what,
0:36:18 > 0:36:23- beauty is definitely in the eyes of the beholder.- Well, that's very true.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24Franksy is up next.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28He's travelled all the way to Biggleswade with his silver-topped glass jar.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32He's meeting Doretta who buys and sells gold and silver.
0:36:32 > 0:36:33Are they real diamonds?!
0:36:35 > 0:36:37I don't think so.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- How's things?- Yeah, all right. - Lovely to see you.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43I normally get a kiss but there we are.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- I've got something to show you. - I bet it's exciting.
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Well, don't hold your breath!
0:36:49 > 0:36:52But, it is, if you look at it, it's quite a nice little thing.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55A nice bit of workmanship. Got a bit of age to it.
0:36:55 > 0:36:58She spends her life looking through that thing.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01I know, me and this thing are attached.
0:37:01 > 0:37:04- It is very nice.- It's got the hallmark.- Yes, got the hallmarks.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08I bought it and I thought I know you appreciate something pretty,
0:37:08 > 0:37:11I thought I would come and see you to see what you thought.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- I can give you about £20 for that. - Oh, dear. Here we go again.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18This is the bit I hate doing. Can you squeeze it up to 30?
0:37:20 > 0:37:23- Unfortunately not.- OK, fair enough.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26Would £29.99 be too much? Ha, ha!
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Just a tad.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Go on, give us your bestest offer, my hand is there, my heart's there.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- Let's go for it. - 25.- 25, go on, then.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39He only needed to shake her hand but he goes in for a kiss as well.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42And why not? She's just given him a £10 profit
0:37:42 > 0:37:44and he's jumping for joy.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50Mark also manages to sell his door handles away from the cameras.
0:37:50 > 0:37:52They are bought by a man who does house clearances,
0:37:52 > 0:37:56he pays £20 which only gives Mark a meagre profit of £2.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Phil is off to Worcester to see one of his regular buyers.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05He is taking the brooch to antiques dealer Gabriel
0:38:05 > 0:38:09- to see what value she puts on it. - Gabriel, how you?
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Philip. Are you well? - Yeah, I am actually.
0:38:12 > 0:38:16I bought this at a car boot sale for the princely sum of 17 quid.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20I thought of thought Jensen when I picked it up which it isn't.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- Er, no, you doesn't do that sort... - Enamel. But is it the same period?
0:38:25 > 0:38:26'70s?
0:38:26 > 0:38:30A bit earlier, I would think. Yeah, it's probably late '50s.
0:38:30 > 0:38:32- Really?- Scandinavian.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35If you are looking for a piece of modern jewellery, modern-ish,
0:38:35 > 0:38:38that is going to appreciate in value this is what to go for.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41The colours in that are fantastic, aren't they?
0:38:41 > 0:38:44- Is it something you would be interested in buying?- Yeah, I think it's really nice.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49Well, I've got no idea what to ask you and I know you are fair so tell me what it's worth.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53Well, I would give you £85.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Fantastic. Thank you.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57That is five times what Phil paid
0:38:57 > 0:39:01and it brings him a very shiny profit of £68.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Franksy's work is done so he can relax.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08He decides to go back to Carshalton to see how the restoration
0:39:08 > 0:39:11- of the ladders he sold is going. - How are we getting on?
0:39:11 > 0:39:15- It's looking great. Who is this young man?- James.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17James, lovely to meet you. I'm Mark.
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Have you been helping with this? - Yeah, I have.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22You've done an amazing job. The big question, James,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26how much should we sell these for now you've upcycled them?
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Um... 50.- 50 quid?!
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Yay, that's it. Start high.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36I would suggest a tiny bit below, 48. It makes it sound cheaper.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Start high, you can always come down, can't you?
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Right, I think you've done a good job. Shall I go now?- No, Mark.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45- You've got to help us. - You want me to do some help?
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Go on, then, let's try. OK.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50This is hard work, isn't it?
0:39:50 > 0:39:53Oh, well, Franksy, no rest for the wicked.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58Phil has motored around to his last item, the stone fish.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01He's brought it to Rob who runs a maze outside Worcester
0:40:01 > 0:40:06but a fish in a maze, has Phil got a bit lost?
0:40:06 > 0:40:10- You ever seen a fish like that? - It's a bit grey.
0:40:10 > 0:40:15I got him at a car boot in Essex and I think he's a water fountain.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19When I saw him, I thought for one beautiful moment it was stone
0:40:19 > 0:40:21- but it's concrete, isn't it? - It looks like it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25What it wants is either cow manure or yoghurt on it because, joking apart,
0:40:25 > 0:40:30if you put that on there it promotes moss growth and it will age it a bit.
0:40:30 > 0:40:35- We have plenty of the former!- Plenty of the former, well, there we go.
0:40:35 > 0:40:40Now, I was told that next year here you're going to have some
0:40:40 > 0:40:42sort of sea theme going on.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45That's right, we're doing a Poseidon/Neptune adventure.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49So, he could fit in. He's getting more valuable by the minute!
0:40:49 > 0:40:53I was hoping I might get 30 or 40 quid for it. What do you reckon?
0:40:53 > 0:40:55I think we could do that. Yeah.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57What, the 30 or the 40?
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Yeah, we'll do 40. - You are a gentleman!
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Phil makes a splash with a profit of £27 for the stone fish,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07meaning he's all sold up.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Thanks very much. See you, Rob. Cheers now.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13And after an amazing deal,
0:41:13 > 0:41:18Phil tries to take a short cut to the car park...
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Hold on, Phil. Is that the right way?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- My Landy's not parked around her, I know it isn't.- Oh, dear.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28At least he's better at finding profits than finding his way.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Let's leave him at it because it's almost time to reveal the winner.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36First, let's remind ourselves of what our dealers have spent.
0:41:36 > 0:41:41Mark and Phil each arrived at the car boot with £250.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45Mark bought six times and spent a total of £105.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Phil also did six deals and paid out a little more,
0:41:48 > 0:41:55£119. But all that matters now is who has made the most profit.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59All of the money Mark and Phil have made will be going to charities of their choice,
0:41:59 > 0:42:04so let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Franksy.- Mr Serrell. - How are you?- Not bad.
0:42:07 > 0:42:10I've got to be honest, I know you've got your auction house
0:42:10 > 0:42:12and you're professional in that field,
0:42:12 > 0:42:14but talk about lost at the car boot sale.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16You looked horrified. You didn't enjoy it?
0:42:16 > 0:42:22They are a strange experience but you pulled a stroke there. That mirror.
0:42:22 > 0:42:27- What?- Getting me to make a profit for you.- No, mate.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I chose the best auction house I thought would make the most money
0:42:30 > 0:42:32and it happened to have your name written on it.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35- I didn't know you were associated with it.- You are such a ratbag!
0:42:35 > 0:42:39- Come on then.- Ready. Here we go. - BOTH: Go!
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Blimey. What happened there?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44I don't know, but I think the drinks are on me.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47That bloomin' auction house, that wasn't good after all.
0:42:47 > 0:42:49So, that's quite a result. Against the odds,
0:42:49 > 0:42:52Phil wipes the floor with Mark.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Philip Serrell is a dark old horse.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58He said he didn't like car boot sales, didn't like getting up
0:42:58 > 0:43:01in the morning, didn't enjoy it but then absolutely whooped me.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03The car boot was just amazing.
0:43:03 > 0:43:07I can't believe how much luck I had because I happened to walk into
0:43:07 > 0:43:11some half-decent things, but has it changed my mind about car boots?
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Well, sorry.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15Well, you might feel more at home tomorrow
0:43:15 > 0:43:17when our prize-fighters jump into the ring again.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19Phil is on home turf at an auction,
0:43:19 > 0:43:23but judging by today's challenge absolutely anything could happen!
