0:00:02 > 0:00:06Welcome to Trash To Cash, the show that rescues homes from mountains of unwanted clutter
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and resells those items for pots of cash.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Now, from the outside, this could be any house in any street but,
0:00:12 > 0:00:15once you've had a look inside, you'll realise there is a big problem.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17And that's called the garage.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20You couldn't even fit a matchbox car in there.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Let's go and help these people out.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41This house is a hoarder's paradise.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Upstairs, there are rooms with cluttered corners and stuff-filled surfaces.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50The worst-offending rooms are the bedrooms, where the amount of mess
0:00:50 > 0:00:52is enough to bring on nightmares.
0:00:52 > 0:00:54Downstairs isn't much better.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The main living and dining rooms may not be jam-packed,
0:00:57 > 0:01:01but it's all been stuffed in the cluttered conservatory and garage.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Out of sight, out of mind.
0:01:03 > 0:01:07But we won't let them get away with that for much longer!
0:01:07 > 0:01:10While most people would see just collections of clutter,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12I'm seeing pound signs!
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Because, amongst all this lot, there's plenty of cash to be made.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19So who's desperate for our help to get their house back in order
0:01:19 > 0:01:21and make some money at the same time?
0:01:21 > 0:01:26Yvonne McCulloch is the mum of the family in this Middlesex home.
0:01:26 > 0:01:31But she's had help creating all this clutter from her husband Omar
0:01:31 > 0:01:34and their two grown-up children, Zara and Aaron.
0:01:34 > 0:01:39We've lived in this house for 24 years so we've got an awful lot
0:01:39 > 0:01:43of stuff that's been accumulated that we'd now like to get rid of.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Most people manage to do that when they move house
0:01:46 > 0:01:49but we've not had the opportunity.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52We're now hoping to get rid of all of the stuff that we no longer need.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54Now, Yvonne has decided that enough's enough
0:01:54 > 0:01:57and wants our help to reclaim parts of this family home.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00And Omar is taking some of the blame,
0:02:00 > 0:02:02albeit reluctantly.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Well, I guess a lot of it is my stuff anyway
0:02:04 > 0:02:06so I'm responsible for it.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09So it's my duty to get it out of our system.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12Do you think Omar's really going to pull his weight today, Yvonne?
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- Ha ha ha ha ha!- Enough said.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But clearing out all this clutter
0:02:16 > 0:02:21and making their home as good as new is just half the battle today.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25Because Yvonne also wants to make some money from this lot.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26In getting rid of all the stuff,
0:02:26 > 0:02:31I'd like to make probably about £300 from doing this.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33More would be nice.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36And I plan to put it towards having the garage roof repaired,
0:02:36 > 0:02:38which is in desperate need.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40So we've got two big jobs today.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43First, we need to help this family reclaim the space
0:02:43 > 0:02:46in their house by ditching the piles of junk.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49And second, we have to raise hundreds of pounds by selling
0:02:49 > 0:02:53as much of the old, but recyclable, clutter as we can.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56There's plenty to get on with but, between us, Yvonne and Omar,
0:02:56 > 0:02:59we should be able to get on top of these mess mountains.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01We'll split into two teams
0:03:01 > 0:03:05and lay down the gauntlet that whoever raises the most money wins.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Before all of that, though,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12Yvonne and Omar have to agree to the Trash To Cash deal.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15OK, now, Yvonne and Omar, I know you want to raise £300 here today.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18- That's right.- Me and Mark will help you all we can.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21But, in exchange, for our expertise and advice,
0:03:21 > 0:03:23I'd like you to make exactly the same amount of money
0:03:23 > 0:03:26again for a good cause of your choosing. How does that sound?
0:03:26 > 0:03:30- Wonderful.- So do you agree to that? - Absolutely.- Fantastic.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Right, there's one other thing I need you to agree to.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35All the items that you decide to de-clutter have to be sold.
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Any items that are left over will go to charity. So do you agree?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40- Absolutely.- Great!
0:03:40 > 0:03:44What I want to do now is to add a bit of jeopardy into this
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- so I'll split us into two teams. Paul, you've got Yvonne.- Lovely. - Yvonne, you've got Paul.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51May you be very happy together. Omar, you're stuck with me, mate!
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- Great. OK. - Shall we start de-cluttering and see what we can sell?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Dividing into two teams will bring a bit of healthy competition
0:03:58 > 0:04:01to our challenge and hopefully help us reach our £600 target.
0:04:01 > 0:04:03Whoever makes the most money
0:04:03 > 0:04:07will be crowned the Trash To Cash kings or queen.
0:04:07 > 0:04:12We'll be flogging everything we can to local shops, dealers and private buyers.
0:04:12 > 0:04:18But most of it will be sold at a grand house sale in a few weeks' time.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23We've also got the third member of the Trash To Cash team, handyman Danny Wood.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26He'll be working hard, giving tired, old items a new lease of life
0:04:26 > 0:04:31to be sold on at our own auction at the house sale.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34This house needs to be taken by the scruff of its neck
0:04:34 > 0:04:37and then we can see which team will make the most cash from trash.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- This is your dining room, obviously. - Yes.- Right, and it looks amazing.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45- It's pretty much a usable dining room, anyway.- It absolutely is, yes.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48But there are a few things in here that don't really belong.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Where does this snooker table come from?- It was my son's.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Right, OK. And does he still use it?- Not so much anymore now, no.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56He's moved on to bigger things.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Right. So that can definitely go? - It can definitely go.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01But these are good, saleable items, actually.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05But, snooker, very popular here. Developed in the 19th century.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08And the word snooker actually comes from the Army.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11It was a technical or a slang term for a first-year cadet.
0:05:11 > 0:05:12- He was called a snooker.- Oh, right.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17But the reason why it was so popular here in the 1970s and 1980s was the programme Pot Black.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- Do you remember that?- Yes. - I think it's in nice condition.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23What we need to do is give it to our fabulous handyman Danny.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Yes.- And he can sort of just tidy it up slightly.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29But I think it's perfect for our house sale.
0:05:29 > 0:05:32I mean, value-wise, £30-40, do you think, a bit more maybe?
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Hopefully a bit more. But, yes, that would be good.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- We can only go up from that? - That's right, yes.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40All right, so that definitely go. Now, what's in here?
0:05:40 > 0:05:43- That's a whiteboard.- A whiteboard? Whose is this?- It's mine.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46That could sell very well. Perfect for our house sale.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49But there's something quite magical in here, actually.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- A great camera. Where's that? - It's just here.- Oh, right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54- OK, now whose is this? - This is my husband's.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Right, now tell me what it is again. - A movie camera.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02It's a Super 8 if that's right. Let's have a look. Yeah, here we go. This is called a Super 8 camera.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04And this was developed in the 1960s, this.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09- And it gets the number eight from the size of the films, 8mm. - Oh, right.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13They were mute when they came out. They had sound later on. Has this got sound on it?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- I don't believe so, no. - You don't think it has? OK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- It looks quite a good one, though, actually.- Mm, I think it is.
0:06:18 > 0:06:24- I think, potentially, you could have maybe £80-100 for this camera.- Good.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Does that sound all right to you? - Yeah, fine.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- We've got one or two things for Danny but let's keep looking.- OK.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Can we capture something magical?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33'With this camera comes an editing and projector system,
0:06:33 > 0:06:37'making it a saleable item for potential film-makers.'
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Well, I'm calling for action the garage.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44It's supposed to be Omar's workshop but you couldn't get
0:06:44 > 0:06:49anything done in here, apart from a spot of Trash To Cashing.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53- This in principle is meant to be a workshop, yeah?- Yes, meant to be.
0:06:53 > 0:06:58- You'd have to lose some weight to do any work in here. It's just chocka! - That's right, yes.- Unbelievable.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02I know exactly what's hidden underneath here. The old Singer sewing machine.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05When these were first sold, they were sold on hire purchase.
0:07:05 > 0:07:09So the man would come to the door and he would sell them to you and you would pay weekly.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14That's how Singer sewing machines became so popular. This is a bit more modern. It looks like 1970s,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- roundabout there. Would that make sense?- Possibly, yeah.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21It's a good thing to be selling because knitting and sewing, and making and mending,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25like they did do during the Second World War is coming back into fashion, in vogue.
0:07:25 > 0:07:31'So much so that I'd expect an old machine like this to sell for between £20 to £30.'
0:07:31 > 0:07:36Let's have a look down here cos there's a lot of stuff here which looks very interesting to me.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40What is this contraption? It looks like a torture device.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- Dovetailing, you know. - Oh, right, I see. Do you use that?
0:07:44 > 0:07:46Well, I haven't used it for a long time.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49That is the sort of thing that you could sell to a tool shop or a DIY man
0:07:49 > 0:07:53but we can get a specialist buyer. Any other tools that we can get shot of?
0:07:53 > 0:07:57- There's this mitre saw as well. - So that's for getting the correct angles when you cut.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00You can adjust it, tighten it up. They're quite saleable.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03- Picture frames... - That's two things for the specialist.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Now, it's not quite the weather for it but... a swimming pool.
0:08:07 > 0:08:1012 foot swimming pool by 30. Are you happy to get rid of it?
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- You've got everything there. - All works?- Yeah, yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15That's a great thing for the house sale.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19- Now, these chairs, where do they come from?- Well, we bought them 30-odd years ago really
0:08:19 > 0:08:22because we couldn't afford much from outside.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25They had a plastic on them and, within a couple of years,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28the plastic wore out so I put cloth on them.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Well, they're quite saleable. We can get Danny to recover those,
0:08:31 > 0:08:35- give them a little rubdown, a bit of varnish.- Make a bit more room, yeah.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39I think the best thing to do is get this off to Danny and let him start work.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41'This garage reminds me of Santa's grotto.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45'There's just so much saleable stuff crammed inside.'
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Well, you may be thinking that Christmas has come early
0:08:48 > 0:08:53but don't get carried away as I've seen my own treasure trove in the conservatory.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55We'll have a look in the conservatory here.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- It's fair to say this is pretty full of clutter.- Yes, it is.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01And this is a fantastic typewriter here. Whose was this?
0:09:01 > 0:09:05It sat in my mother's cellar for quite a long while
0:09:05 > 0:09:09- but she palmed it off on me about ten years or so ago.- Right.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11And it's really sat here, collecting dust,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13so it would be very nice to get rid of it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- These are so underrated, we've all moved on to word processors and computers.- That's right.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21There is a market for these manual typewriters so I think
0:09:21 > 0:09:24that could go for maybe £15, £20, if not a bit more, at the house sale.
0:09:24 > 0:09:29- Does that sound all right? - Yeah. Good, good.- But what about this vacuum cleaner here?
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Look at that. Has that come out of the ark?!
0:09:32 > 0:09:34How long have you had that?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Well, that's about, I would say, about eight or ten-years-old.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40We paid quite a lot of money for it. It is a Kirby.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44We call them Hoovers in this country. That's an incorrect term because that's the brand.
0:09:44 > 0:09:49They're a type of vacuum cleaner. Potentially, there's £100 there which would be wonderful.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Yes, absolutely.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53- What about these old lampshades? - They can all go.
0:09:53 > 0:09:58- Why is there half a lampshade? - Onto the wall.- On a wall! Of course. That makes far more sense now.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00I thought Madonna was in town!
0:10:00 > 0:10:04- But they must be, what, two or three pounds each, maybe a fiver.- Yeah.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08There may be 10 or 20 quid in that box there, you see. It adds up, doesn't it?
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- You've got lots and lots of clutter in here.- We have.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Do you to see this room back to life, as a usable conservatory?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17- Yes, that would be lovely. - Have you ever sat out here and had a nice cup coffee?
0:10:17 > 0:10:21Many years ago before we started using it more as a dumping ground.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23We had it nice but need some help with it now.
0:10:23 > 0:10:27We need to de-clutter all this and the best way to do it is to send our makeover team in.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Wow, thank you.- Give it a bit of a renovation, bring it back to life,
0:10:30 > 0:10:34- and de-clutter it all. - Fabulous.- OK, so let's get cracking.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36We'll go and tell them now.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38'Yes, when all this clutter has been banished,
0:10:38 > 0:10:41'it may actually become a usable room. Imagine that!'
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Well, hopefully, we won't need to imagine it if we get rid of all of this stuff.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Talking of which, let's start as we mean to go on and get selling!
0:10:50 > 0:10:54We've arranged for Martin, a local film-maker, to come to the house
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and take a look at the Super 8 camera set.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59But, before we get down to work,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm going to give Yvonne a bit of a pep talk.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04OK, so we have the fantastic Super 8 camera
0:11:04 > 0:11:08and we have the projector and the editing suite here.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10So it's all there. Authentic dust, as well. I like that!
0:11:10 > 0:11:14We have a gentleman waiting in the wings who might be interested.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18If he asks you any questions - we don't know a lot about it, answer it with a question of your own.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Find out what he's going to do with it,
0:11:20 > 0:11:24- what uses it'll have, what films he'll shoot and that sort of thing. - Yeah.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28- That will get you on a level with him, a sort of relaxed playing field.- Right.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31- Then you can discuss prices.- OK. - But the money's down to you!
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- OK. But I think we're looking... I'd ask £100 for this.- Right, OK.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37And see where you end up. I think we're looking maybe 80 quid.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Always start a bit higher. You can come down in price, but you can't go up.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45- And just see what he says. - All right.- Let me have a word with him. He's just here now.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46'Time to face the expert.'
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Martin, come on through, mate. - Hello.- How are you? This is Yvonne.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Hi, Yvonne, nice to meet you. - Hello, Martin.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56And here we have the fantastic Super 8. There we go.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00So this is the camera, which is fantastic. Is that the sort of thing you were expecting to see?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's actually a nicer camera than what I was expecting to see.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- That's good.- Which is nice. It's in very good condition.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09What sort of things will you use that for?
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Well, I've used it in lots of things.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15- We've shot Super 8 and put it into pop videos in the past.- Right.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18It has a different ratio. When you watch telly, it's usually rectangle
0:12:18 > 0:12:21and the little gate in this is more of a square.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23And it has a really nice look.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Everything you shoot in it looks like it was made
0:12:26 > 0:12:28in the 1970s without having to do anything to it.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32- Which is great.- And what do you think of the condition of it?
0:12:32 > 0:12:35It does work. It's nice. It's clean. They're nice.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40'Lots of questions from Yvonne. She's working hard to build up a rapport with our potential buyer.'
0:12:40 > 0:12:45- You know, the vast majority of its life has passed.- Right.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49So we'd have to use it with lots of tender, loving care from now on.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51But, yeah, I think it's a great camera.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55- I'd be interested in taking it off your hands.- Excellent. OK.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- We were hoping for something in the region of about £100.- Uh-huh.
0:12:58 > 0:13:03OK. Well, I would say that I don't think it's worth 100 quid.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Yvonne's certainly being confident and direct with Martin.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11He clearly knows his stuff. She might have two extra items on the table along with the camera
0:13:11 > 0:13:15but she's going to have to work hard to get the best possible price here.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18I wonder how the opposition's getting on.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23We've hit the road in our bid to become Trash To Cash kings.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26And are going to try to sell some of Omar's old power tools.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29The question is, will he show some negotiating nous
0:13:29 > 0:13:31and get us off to a strong start?
0:13:31 > 0:13:34My team's found a guy called Sam. He owns a construction company
0:13:34 > 0:13:37and we're going to go round to his house to show him these items.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- This is where you've got to shine Are you happy?- Yeah, sure.- Let's go.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Sam da Silva is a businessman
0:13:43 > 0:13:46so we've come to his house to do some dealing.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50I just hope Omar is up for some tough negotiations.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53- Explain what you've got.- Right. This is a dovetailing machine.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58You can put two different materials to make sure that they fit nicely.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- How old is it? - Oh, it's antique, basically.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- SAM LAUGHS - This is your angle mitre saw.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Yeah, that's quite good, isn't it?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Are these something you'd be interested in, then, Sam?
0:14:09 > 0:14:15- I'm sure we could do something with that.- Perfect. Well, boys, you better start talking about money.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17As we agreed, £1,000 each.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23'Well done, Omar! He's made Sam laugh but can he secure a sale?'
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Make me an offer that I can't refuse.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28You know, cos...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32How about £30?
0:14:32 > 0:14:36Something tells me that's an offer that Omar CAN refuse!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40And much less than the £40 to £50 that I think the tools are worth.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44But Omar seems confident in this negotiation.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46I just hope he isn't getting a little too confident.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51Well, what's your last price? Tell me what your best price is.
0:14:51 > 0:14:5350?
0:14:53 > 0:14:5540. Have we got a deal?
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- 45.- £40.- 45.- 40 quid.
0:14:58 > 0:15:03- 45, come on! - Final offer, 40 quid. Have we got a deal?- Final offer, take his money!
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- All right, then.- Cheers, thank you. - 'Wow! Omar stuck to his guns and
0:15:06 > 0:15:12'was determined to squeeze as much out of the deal as possible.'
0:15:12 > 0:15:15But there comes a time when you need to know when to quit.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17And £40 is pretty good for those tools.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19I'm quite happy with what we got.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21Because it's been sitting around, doing nothing,
0:15:21 > 0:15:23for a long time, anyway.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Yeah, it's good.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29At the house, our expert is negotiating hard with Yvonne.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31So can she seal the deal?
0:15:31 > 0:15:35- I mean, when this was made, this was probably quite expensive.- Mm.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And you can feel the weight and it's a great camera.
0:15:37 > 0:15:41- It's optical, it's not electronic. - No.- It'll work in hot and cold, all that stuff.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43But that was then and this is now.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49And I think that 75 quid is a reasonable amount of money to pay for it.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- Can you go a bit higher? - How high is high?
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- 80-ish, five.- 80? I'll go for 80.- OK.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59- Yeah, I'll give you cash right now. - OK.- Brilliant.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01- Nice one.- Cut! It's a wrap.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03'Wahey! I'm really pleased.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06'Yvonne has sold the camera equipment on for a good price.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08'Not bad for a first-timer.'
0:16:08 > 0:16:11The tips that Paul gave me, that was very helpful.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15In how to sort of negotiate the price
0:16:15 > 0:16:17and to ask him a few questions about what he's doing.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21So that was all helpful. So, yes, I think it went well.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23So, we've had success trading our power tools.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27And our camera's been acquired by a new owner.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Thanks to the Trash To Cash team,
0:16:29 > 0:16:31plenty more clutter has also been cleared out.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34And this house is slowly but surely being reclaimed.
0:16:34 > 0:16:39The garage was full to bursting with, well, pretty much anything and everything.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44But, as Omar needs to use it as his workshop, it's being
0:16:44 > 0:16:49transformed into a spacious place for him to do what men do in a garage.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Drink coffee and read the paper, in my case!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55Our Trash To Cash clutter-busters have also been as busy as bees,
0:16:55 > 0:17:00trying to get the conservatory to look like a conservatory again.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03But, while there's a lot going on in the house, I want to check up on
0:17:03 > 0:17:06how Yvonne is feeling about the colossal clear-out.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08It's nice to just to sit down and have a little chat.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- We've worked very hard this morning.- We have.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14How does it feel now the house is coming together and the clutter is disappearing?
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Loving it. Absolutely loving it.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19So have you decided what half your money is going to go towards,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22which charity or good cause?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- I have, indeed, yep. - And what's that?
0:17:25 > 0:17:26My nephew is autistic.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30He has learning difficulties and other problems.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35For the majority of his life, he's gone to a very special school called Linn Moor School in Aberdeen.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37And they've done fabulous, fabulous things for him
0:17:37 > 0:17:41and all the other children that attend there so I think
0:17:41 > 0:17:43to give it to them would be really nice.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46- Oh, that sounds a fantastically good cause, doesn't it?- Mm.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48So how far do you think the money would go?
0:17:48 > 0:17:53I'd like to think that they can put that towards buying perhaps a piece of equipment for the school,
0:17:53 > 0:17:56something they may need. Maybe an outing for the kids. Who knows?
0:17:56 > 0:17:58Whatever they use it for, that would be wonderful.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01And what about yourself? Now, charity begins at home.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04you deserve a treat of some sort for you and your family.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06What will you do with your half of the money?
0:18:06 > 0:18:10- Well, there's a big hole in the garage roof.- Right!
0:18:10 > 0:18:14- We're going to put it towards having that fixed.- OK. - That's our goal today.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18It's home improvements for yourself, so you can enjoy the garage for what it is?
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Yeah, that's right.- And the autistic charity, which is great.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24- All right, we need to raise £600 between the two of us.- We do.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- Do you think we'll do that? - Absolutely.- I think so, too.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- Do you think we're going to beat Mark and Omar?- Oh, yes.- Oh, yes!
0:18:31 > 0:18:33Well, that's two good causes.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Omar and Yvonne's nephew's old school and important home improvement.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41But we've still got a lot of work to do
0:18:41 > 0:18:44if we want to raise the £600 that they're hoping for.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46We're not here just to make money, though.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49We're also here to clear out unwanted clutter
0:18:49 > 0:18:51and make crammed and packed rooms usable again.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Now then, Yvonne, here we are. It's the moment of truth now.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59- Cast your mind back to this morning. - Right.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01- Do you remember your conservatory? - I certainly do.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- Can you describe what it was like when we arrived?- It was a disaster.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It was messy, untidy, full of rubbish.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11Full of things we want to get rid of but hadn't quite got the heart to.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- It's time now to take a look at your usable conservatory.- Wow.- OK.
0:19:15 > 0:19:17So cover your eyes second.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Here we are, Yvonne. Just step over the little step there.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Remember this one?- Yep.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Now, I can remember I'd typewriter being in here and a vacuum cleaner
0:19:25 > 0:19:27and all that other stuff.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Well, after three, I want you to open your eyes
0:19:29 > 0:19:32and have a look at your new conservatory.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34One, two, three.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Wow!- Isn't that fantastic?
0:19:37 > 0:19:42- Oh, that's gorgeous! - Is that what you were expecting? - That's fabulous.- Isn't it beautiful?
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- You and Omar can sit out here now and look at these wonderful items. - Look at that!
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Look at your own little dining area over here, as well. Can you see?- Oh, look at that.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Morning coffee. Haven't they done well?- Oh, that's beautiful.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56What do you like? What do you notice straightway?
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- The brightness, the colours. They're very strong.- All co-ordinated.- Yes.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03I'll have to find something to put in the boxes!
0:20:03 > 0:20:06- No more clutter, I think. Keep it like this now.- No, no. Keep this.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09There's whole new part of your house that you hadn't seen for ages.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Absolutely. Very nice. I'm really impressed. That's superb.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16That seems like a totally different room now.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18And Yvonne clearly loves it.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20No longer a glorified cupboard,
0:20:20 > 0:20:25the conservatory is a room in its own right again, where the family can
0:20:25 > 0:20:28relax, eat and spend some quality time together.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32We may be getting rid of the clutter in the house,
0:20:32 > 0:20:37but we're keeping all the valuable items to sell and make some money.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39But what are our scores, so far?
0:20:40 > 0:20:44Well, my team's performance selling our Super 8 video camera
0:20:44 > 0:20:46has been an Oscar-winning, making a whopping £80.
0:20:46 > 0:20:52I love the modesty(!) But I wouldn't start writing the acceptance speeches just yet.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56We've managed to get £40 for some old power tools and, with plenty of stuff
0:20:56 > 0:20:59in the house still to go through, this could be anyone's contest.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Paul, do some work, will ya?
0:21:06 > 0:21:07Yeah, I'm up a ladder.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13- Omar?- Yeah.- Why have you got the world's dirtiest ladder up against the side of your garage?
0:21:13 > 0:21:15Well, because it was buried under the compost.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17- Can we sell it?- Yeah, sure.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19- Can we wash it?- Yeah, sure.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23- You can wash it any time you want. - Can YOU wash it?- Definitely yes.
0:21:23 > 0:21:27- Definitely yes. Could you delegate to your good lady wife or get somebody to do it?- Yeah, OK.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31That's an aluminium ladder. Brand new, that would cost well over £100.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- It's got to be worth 30, 40 quid of anyone's money, hasn't it?- Yeah. - If you clean it.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Now, what is going on with this?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Is this a decorative item for the garden?- Yee-es.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Well, there's not enough room in the garage.- You're telling me.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47So it can wash outside.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- How long has that sat there? - Oh, well, before our children.
0:21:51 > 0:21:56- Over 20 years ago.- You're joking?! - No. We only used it a couple of times.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00People always want push bikes. They're always desirable, always handy.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04It's a foldy-up one, so you can put it in a caravan, the back of your car. Definitely saleable.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08- Can you put the saddle on it? - Yeah, sure. - Great. That can go at the house sale.
0:22:08 > 0:22:13- It's got to be a tenner of anyone's money. Whose bike was it? - We bought it for Yvonne, really.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15She wanted to have a bit of exercise.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Talking of exercise, before we get this sold, I've seen some exercise equipment in your bedroom.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- That's right.- It's like a mini gymnasium. What's that all about?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- Well, it's a mini gymnasium! - Oh, OK, that answers that question!
0:22:27 > 0:22:32- We had nowhere to put the stuff except upstairs in a loft room. - Is it being used?
0:22:32 > 0:22:34It hasn't been used for a couple of years, probably more.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37- Shall we go and have a go? - Yeah, sure.- Come on, let's go.- OK.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- So who's the keen gardener? - Omar.- Right.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43- There's loads of pots and pans here. - There certainly are.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47- Still chatting, mate? - We're not chatting. We're hard at it. How about you two?
0:22:47 > 0:22:51We've been up there for five minutes, discovering things to sell and you're, "Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah."
0:22:51 > 0:22:55Since you've been there five minutes, it's started to snow. We're freezing out here.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Why are you standing around like a pair of lemons? Come on.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01- We're about to clear this patio and make it usable, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Sorting out some of these plant pots. We've done very well.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07- We've had a look at a great camera, a Super 8 camera.- Mm-hm.
0:23:07 > 0:23:12- What's so super about it?- Super enough that we've sold it.- How many sit-ups can you do?- How many what?
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Exactly! Let's have a look at this exercise equipment. We're well ahead of the game.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21- These are perfect for our grand house sale.- Excellent.- People are always looking for plant pots.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24They must be 50p, £1 each, something like that.
0:23:24 > 0:23:28They're expensive down the garden centre. So we can definitely get rid of those.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I think there may be 20 or 30 quid, just lying here in all these bits and pieces.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36You've got bits of old wood, bits of drains. That whole lot wants to go.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- Have a nice dining area. - Lovely. Yes.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- OK, well, let's keep looking, just for now, all right?- OK.
0:23:41 > 0:23:45Omar, this is my favourite room of the house. There's no snow in here.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47It's warm, it's cosy.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50And you've got some sort of contraption which
0:23:50 > 0:23:52- looks like it's for torture.- Yeah.
0:23:52 > 0:23:53What on earth is that?
0:23:53 > 0:23:57- Well, we have people on it who help me with enquiries.- Yes, exactly!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59What is it? It looks like a dentist's chair.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01Well, it's sort of an inverter.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05You put your body up and your feet can be strapped in here,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07and your body is dangling.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09So it's really stretching, gravitationally.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11So what did this cost when it was new?
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Oh, it was about £302 or something.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16About 302?!
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Now, my team have found somebody who's interested in buying this.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24I think it's a couple that are personal trainers, so they go from
0:24:24 > 0:24:28door to door, and actually go to your office, your house...
0:24:28 > 0:24:30They will be interested in buying this.
0:24:30 > 0:24:33But keep in mind, second-hand exercise equipment has
0:24:33 > 0:24:35a much lower value than new.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40So this is really where you have to do the selling.
0:24:40 > 0:24:41'No need to sweat it.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45'Remember what a great negotiator Omar was with the power tools.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48'I'm sure he'll get us a great price for the exercise equipment.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51'And, while we've been busy sorting through our items,
0:24:51 > 0:24:54'Danny the handyman has been hard at work.'
0:24:54 > 0:24:55Too right.
0:24:55 > 0:24:59And I'm hopeful that he'll be a hotshot with my snooker table
0:24:59 > 0:25:02which I think could win the game for me.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05And this is how to bring something similar back to life.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08First, drill on some new legs to ensure the table top is level,
0:25:08 > 0:25:13being careful to use good quality fittings to make sure it's a solid structure without a wobble.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18Next, fix the snooker pockets by weaving
0:25:18 > 0:25:22string around the holes to make sure that they catch the balls.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Finally, give the green baize a brush down and polish up
0:25:25 > 0:25:28the wooden edging to make the snooker table look as good as new.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31That, my friend, will leave you snookered at the auction.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Danny did a very good job of the table. He managed to put legs on it,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40something we never achieved over all the years that we had it.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42And he tied off the pockets, for the balls,
0:25:42 > 0:25:45so that they didn't drop to the floor, which was very good.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47So, pleased with that.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51Not bad. But going head to head with your snooker table
0:25:51 > 0:25:54are my two chairs, which should leave me sitting pretty.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56And if you've got similar tired, old chairs.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Here's how to bring them back to life.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04First, dismantle the cushions from the base of the chair.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09Sand down the frame before applying a fresh coat of paint and leave them to dry.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13Next, cut out new cushion covers, using the chair seat and back as a template.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17And then attach the material in place with a staple gun.
0:26:17 > 0:26:22Finally, screw the newly covered seats and backs onto the frames.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23And, there you have it.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Two old chairs, transformed into the best seats in the house.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And, most importantly for me, very sellable.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34We'll see who wins the auction battle during the house sale.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39But we don't want to wait until then to make some more money.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44I'm hoping I won't work up a sweat selling our exercise machine, though.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46You may not, but it seems Omar will!
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Delegation, Paul. Delegation.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53A local personal trainer, Claire, is interested in buying it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56So let's see if Omar can stretch his money muscles
0:26:56 > 0:27:00- and get a good price. - Ah, what do you think, Claire?
0:27:00 > 0:27:04It's not bad. It's a good bit of equipment. You've still got the instruction manuals.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08- Oh, yes.- That's the second time this has ever been used. Isn't that right?- No. Only once!
0:27:08 > 0:27:12- It certainly could do with some more use. - So what would you do with it, then?
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Basically, we would use this with people who do an office job.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Anyone who's had a previous back injury. It will allow them to relax their back out,
0:27:20 > 0:27:25uncompress the vertebrae in the back and really stretch everything out the way that it needs to be done.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- It was in excess of £300 when it was new, wasn't it?- Yeah, that's right. - Well in excess of £300.- Yeah.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Claire, I think you guys need to be speaking about money now.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37The kind of price that we're looking to go for is 175.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41That's the best offer that we can do. How would you feel about that?
0:27:41 > 0:27:42195?
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Omar is quick as a flash to counter Claire's offer,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49and he's trying to get her to go up but, with second-hand
0:27:49 > 0:27:53equipment like this, I think £175 is a very fair price.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56I'm going to have to stick at 175, I'm afraid.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Is that your best offer? - It's my best offer.- Is this the offer that I can't refuse?
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- This is the offer you can't refuse. - Then I can't refuse.- Excellent.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05- It's a deal, then.- Excellent.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08It's worth a try to push for more money but Claire knew
0:28:08 > 0:28:11exactly what the exercise machine was worth to her.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16We've got more exercise equipment to sell later on to add to our total.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23Talking of which, 175 big ones is a massive boost.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26Add that to our profit from the tools earlier
0:28:26 > 0:28:29and we're sitting pretty on 215 quid.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35Hm. There's not an awful lot I can say about that.
0:28:35 > 0:28:37We've still only made £80 from our camera sale
0:28:37 > 0:28:40so we've definitely got some catching up to do.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42It's been a very, very bad day, Paul.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45For you! 215 quid! You've made £80.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47What is going on?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51Hang on a second. We've actually only sold one item and I hear that you've sold two.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Yeah, but you say it with some sort of pride!
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- I've sold two items and made over £200. You're lagging behind. - We are, slightly.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Don't forget, there's a house sale to come and we're going to win, win, win.
0:29:01 > 0:29:02- Sorry, mate.- We'll see.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10It's getting late in the day
0:29:10 > 0:29:12so it's the final push to claim things to sell.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Ah, there we are. I'm getting a little bit tired now.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19- Are you, Yvonne?- Yes.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21- It's the final push of the day, isn't it?- Yes.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26- All right, OK. So this is Aaron's room, is that right?- That's correct.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- OK, now, is he a keen golfer? - He certainly is.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30OK, and these are his clubs here.
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- I take it these must be quite small for him now, actually. - They are, yes.
0:29:34 > 0:29:37- These obviously have been from when he was a child.- Well, yes.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40Quite a bit younger but he's got a bigger set now.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- Right, OK, so these are surplus.- Yes.
0:29:42 > 0:29:47They're absolutely perfect for our house sale. Sometimes you get lots of kids that come around.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51- A budding golfer would love these. What do you think of the bag? - It's in good nick.
0:29:51 > 0:29:56- It's worth maybe 15 quid, then the clubs on top, so it all adds up, doesn't it?- Absolutely.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59- They can definitely go?- Yeah. - Excellent. Whose was this? - Again, that's his.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Given to him by his uncle but he's not really very keen.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04I don't think he's used it very much.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08I think there's a budding astronomer out there waiting for one of these items.
0:30:08 > 0:30:11- You know, I think I can see him coming now.- Mm.- All right.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15I think it's something that's great for the house sale and that must be £10 or £20.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- OK.- We'll see how it looks when it's all together.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21I'd like to think it went to somebody interested in astronomy or something.
0:30:21 > 0:30:22- It would be great.- Exactly.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26We want a fortune teller or somebody interested in the stars for that.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27What's in these cupboards here?
0:30:27 > 0:30:30- More games. - Let's have a look in here. Oh, yeah.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Board games and things. Do you ever use these?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Er, no, not personally, but they've been used over the years.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Oh, that is nice. 20 or 30 quid here, you know, just adding up.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42A few puzzles. Labyrinth.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43That's a good educational one.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46Good for dexterity.
0:30:46 > 0:30:51- Oh, right. OK. So those are great. I think you've got maybe 20 quid's worth of games there.- Mm-hm.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53- So that all adds up. Isn't it amazing?- Yeah.
0:30:53 > 0:30:57Well, talking of games, I wanted to ask you about this one here.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59How do you play this?
0:30:59 > 0:31:01What is it, for a start?
0:31:01 > 0:31:05It's called a Carrom board. And it's from either Pakistan or India.
0:31:05 > 0:31:08And it's played with little discs, the size of this.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10And they're different colours.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12They represent different scores.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14And you sort of flick them around the table.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17You score somehow but I'm not altogether sure how.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21I think it's a great visual item. I can imagine somebody that has maybe a social club or a pub.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24It's an interesting thing to have, isn't it?
0:31:24 > 0:31:27- Yes, it would be.- Sort of an evening's entertainment, really.
0:31:27 > 0:31:29- That's right. - If we knew how to play it!
0:31:29 > 0:31:32But if I said, what, ten or 15 quid upwards and see how that goes?
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- See how it goes, yeah. - It all adds up, doesn't it?
0:31:34 > 0:31:37There may not be mountains of clutter here
0:31:37 > 0:31:40but what there is, is very saleable.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42You've missed out here, Mark.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Oh, don't worry about me. These boots are made for selling.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48And I think I'm going to walk away with loads of money from this little lot.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50- I can't believe women, can you?- No.
0:31:50 > 0:31:55I know I'm generalising slightly but how many pairs of shoes have you got?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- About three or four.- Exactly. That's a normal bloke thing.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Look at those, they're brand spanking new.- That's right.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Another pair there. Another pair there.
0:32:02 > 0:32:06Over there there's about 30 pairs of shoes. More shoes there.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09More shoes there. I've never seen anything like it!
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- Except Imelda Marcos.- Exactly. She's a young Imelda Marcos.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Now, shoes, believe it or not, second-hand shoes do sell.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18There's nothing wrong with those. They've barely been worn
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Haven't even been broken in yet.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23At a car boot sale, house sale, auction,
0:32:23 > 0:32:26I've seen these sell for up to £10 a pair.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28- Really?- Yeah. For second-hand shoes.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32- So you've got to realise what you've got there is a big bag of cash.- OK.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34And what have we got in here?
0:32:34 > 0:32:37- Some clothes and bits and pieces. - Some clothes.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40Just take this one for example. Nice quality. 100% wool.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42- That's a couple of quid of anyone's money.- Yeah.
0:32:42 > 0:32:46Again, we've got another few quid's worth of money there.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50She needs to have a major sort-out. This wardrobe is packed full of money waiting to happen.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55So, in exchange for some of Zara's unwanted clothes and shoes,
0:32:55 > 0:32:59we'll send in our makeover team to give her room a whole new look.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03We've already cleared out loads of clutter from the rest of the house.
0:33:03 > 0:33:07The conservatory is now a family space.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Omar has a whole new haven in the garage.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12And we'll be seeing more of their new-look home later on.
0:33:12 > 0:33:17But don't forget, we're also here to raise £600 for Yvonne and Omar,
0:33:17 > 0:33:19just by selling their unwanted stuff.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21And, right now,
0:33:21 > 0:33:25it's time to compare what we've got to sell at the house sale.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30There we are. It's the end of the day. Night-time is upon us. I think we've worked really hard, don't you?
0:33:30 > 0:33:34- I think we have, yes.- Guys, where has all this stuff come from?
0:33:34 > 0:33:38- Our house, garage, conservatory. - Various places.- Bedrooms. - Well hidden.
0:33:38 > 0:33:42- I'll tell you what we've got. - Go on, then.- Have a look at these. Do you remember these?- I do.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44- How nice do they look now?- Very good.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- We have a fully functional snooker table. There you are. - What's a functional snooker table?
0:33:48 > 0:33:51It's very useful, it comes with its own legs.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54We've got you licked - we've got more stuff and better quality stuff.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- What do you think, Yvonne?- Well, I don't mind, really.- You don't mind?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01- I don't mind.- OK.- As long as we raise some money for charity.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03I don't mind if she loses. It's OK.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13After our big clear-out, Yvonne, Omar and the Trash To Cash team
0:34:13 > 0:34:16have been rallying people to the house sale.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20We've both picked out loads of items from Yvonne and Omar's
0:34:20 > 0:34:25clutter-filled home and we now must try and turn it into £600 hard cash.
0:34:25 > 0:34:29We've already made £295 between us but, right now,
0:34:29 > 0:34:31we've got to whip up a selling storm.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37It's been a couple of weeks since we've rummaged through Omar and Yvonne's home,
0:34:37 > 0:34:41clearing out the clutter. Now it's time to turn those unwanted items into cash.
0:34:41 > 0:34:44Now, thank goodness Omar and Yvonne have done a lot of hard work
0:34:44 > 0:34:46and have got this lovely crowd here.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49CHEERING
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- And they all want to spend money, don't you?- ALL: Yes!
0:34:52 > 0:34:56So, without further ado, I'd like to declare this house sale open.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Let's hope they are here to spend a whole lot of money
0:35:07 > 0:35:11because we have a whole lot to sell.
0:35:12 > 0:35:18And with your lead of £135, Mark, I need some out-of-this-world sales.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20I've got just the thing, from one of the bedrooms.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23There we are. What are you planning to do with that?
0:35:23 > 0:35:26Well, I was planning on giving it to my daughter
0:35:26 > 0:35:28but I think Sandy thinks I've got other ideas for it.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Oh, right.- Peeping Tom!
0:35:30 > 0:35:34Do you know what? These are fantastic for a conservatory or a loft, or something like that.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Spying on the neighbours. She's not one of your neighbours, is she?
0:35:37 > 0:35:41- No.- No? You don't want to spy on this house. It all goes on here.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44All right, well, that's a nice example. These are very expensive to buy.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48If I asked you for £20, would you think that was intergalactic?
0:35:48 > 0:35:51It's maybe a little bit too intergalactic.
0:35:51 > 0:35:55OK, I can spot a bargain from a mile off and I can see you through the lens here.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59- I can read your lips. It says 15 quid. How does that sound? - Yeah, that sounds good.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03- Thank you very much. Good luck with that.- It does work very well.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07- It's for my daughter. She's doing astronomy GCSE. - That's you.- Thank you very much.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09And thank you for that. I think that will be lovely.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12And I deserve a GCSE in selling!
0:36:12 > 0:36:14I forgot to tell you, we just found this,
0:36:14 > 0:36:18and if you can tell me which planet is closest to Earth,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20you can have this for three quid.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22- Can you tell me?- Closest to Earth?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- On this map here.- Mars or Venus.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Well, that'll do. That sounds like a great answer to me!
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Is that all right with you? - Yes.- All right.
0:36:31 > 0:36:35The chances of you catching up with me today are pie in the sky.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39Especially as you don't seem to have taught your apprentice
0:36:39 > 0:36:40the art of selling.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43Erm, anything you like.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Now, Yvonne, let me give you a little tip here, actually.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49- That's not how it works, right? - That's not how it works!
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- I got it wrong.- What we need to do is give the lady a price, OK.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56So you're wanting to buy that?
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Those are a couple of pounds apiece. So that's six pounds for the lot.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03- But, hopefully, what'll come back now is, "I'll give you a fiver." - Right!
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Six pounds for the lot, how does that sound?
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- OK, I'll give you a fiver. - Fantastic!
0:37:08 > 0:37:09- That's how it's done.- Sold. OK.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14She's picking it up and I'm more than happy with the progress.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17We're having a good run of customers.
0:37:17 > 0:37:22You may be doing well today but I'm feeling the love of my customers, too.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24You've got a teddy.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27- Is that a little message to me?- No.
0:37:27 > 0:37:32- How much would you like to pay for that?- Erm, a fiver?
0:37:32 > 0:37:36- Yeah, I think that's very fair. - Great, yeah.- That's very kind.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37I said £2!
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Nah, she's nicer than you!
0:37:39 > 0:37:42- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44I don't think they're feeling the love
0:37:44 > 0:37:46but you are getting some cash out of them.
0:37:46 > 0:37:51True, but, at the moment, your stall seems to be making the most money.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Even your sales technique isn't putting them off, Paul.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Now, believe it or not, that's the hot wire to my house, OK.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Any time you fancy a cup of tea, give me a ring and I'll pop round.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02- Where do you live?- Morecambe. It's 256 miles north of here.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- That's very nice. What do you think, a tenner?- Yeah.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07If the lady's happy with that.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- In true Cockney style, how about a Pavarotti?- OK, I'll give you ten.
0:38:11 > 0:38:16- Is that all right with you?- Yes, that's fine, thank you. That's good. Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Now, seeing as you've already spent some money, you get a good discount on any other items, OK.
0:38:20 > 0:38:26We believe this is in good working order but normally the onus is on the buyer to check electrical items.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29So far, you seem to be selling more than me today.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32Just as well, seeing as I started with such a big lead.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36True, but this isn't all about the money because, don't forget,
0:38:36 > 0:38:40we're also celebrating getting all the clutter out of the house
0:38:40 > 0:38:44and reclaiming space for the family to enjoy again.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Including one of the bedrooms that was in a right old state when we first saw it.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52All overcrowded surfaces and cluttered chaos.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53But we'll see what Yvonne
0:38:53 > 0:38:57and daughter Zara think of the brand-new bedroom later on.
0:38:57 > 0:39:02On the stalls, I was a massive £135 down when we started selling.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05But now, I'm sensing some magic in the air.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Ready, watch.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Oh! Ah, ah!
0:39:10 > 0:39:12He's unravelling it, isn't he?
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Do you like that? Right, you better spend some money.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22300 tricks. Do you want to play a trick on Mum?
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Yeah, shout again.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25- How much, a fiver, was it? - Yes.- Thank you.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Are you sure?- Thank you. - That's so nice of you.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Thank you very much.- For a fiver I'll throw in the jigsaw, as well.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33- Yeah, there you go.- How's that?
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Now, the jigsaw, there's 1,000 pieces in there
0:39:35 > 0:39:38but there's actually only 999 and I've got the extra one.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42When you need it, give me a ring and we'll negotiate a price, all right?
0:39:42 > 0:39:44Good luck.
0:39:44 > 0:39:49You're a proper Paul Daniels, making that magic set disappear.
0:39:49 > 0:39:50I know. I'm on fire today!
0:39:50 > 0:39:54You seem to be having to work a little harder, though, Mark.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56What are you seeing, girls?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59We're just having a general look round. We're not sure what we want.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03Why don't you empty your purse into here and take what you like?
0:40:03 > 0:40:05I'll think about it.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Come on. Make me an offer.
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Erm, a tenner.
0:40:11 > 0:40:12Make it 15 and you can have it.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15I'll think about it.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- What size feet have you got?- Size five.- Guess what size these are?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22- I don't know.- These are size five. - I don't have no money.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24You know what they say, Paul.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27If at first you don't succeed, try it on someone else.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30What size feet have you got?
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- Five.- Five?- I'm five, too.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Well, who likes these? Look, brand spanking new.
0:40:36 > 0:40:39And they're size five. Made to measure. What do you reckon?
0:40:39 > 0:40:40Four quid, the pair.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- Cheap, innit, eh?- Yeah.- Brand spanking new. What do you reckon?
0:40:44 > 0:40:47- Three pound, a pair.- Yeah. - It's nothing. It's a gift.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52- I might wear these.- Do you think you'll wear them?- Take her out somewhere nice she can wear them!
0:40:52 > 0:40:55- He can't afford it!- We can't afford it.- He's tight, ain't he?- I know.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59- Where did you find him?- Dunno. - Me pockets are sewn up.- Did you win him in a raffle?
0:40:59 > 0:41:04- No, I didn't.- Four quid, what do you reckon?- Yeah, go on, then. - What a lovely lady.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08- I tell you what. - Has he got four quid?- He's going to say to me, "Have a tenner."
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- You watch. I bet he does. - He's going to pay for them, is he?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- I don't think he's even got four... - One, two, three...
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- Well, I never. It's all he's got left now.- Look at that.- Are you are right? You're not going to faint?
0:41:18 > 0:41:21You're going to pass out. He's got his wallet out.
0:41:21 > 0:41:23Thank you, darling. Cheers, mate.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26'It really seems to be a woman's world at today's sale,
0:41:26 > 0:41:29'as the girly goods are flying off both stalls.'
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Money coming from all angles, isn't it?
0:41:39 > 0:41:40She's got the movement!
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- I'll tell you what would look great with that. A green outfit. - Yes, you're right.
0:41:51 > 0:41:56You've got a deal. CHILD CHEERS
0:41:57 > 0:42:00So, women are ruling the roost at this house sale.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04It seems they're the ones to please inside the house, too.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07True, as I'm showing the newly made-over bedroom to Yvonne
0:42:07 > 0:42:09and her daughter Zara, whose room it is.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12Will they warm to the new look boudoir?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14OK, so, Yvonne and Zara.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Now, Zara, you're Yvonne's daughter
0:42:16 > 0:42:19and it's your room we're going to look at in a minute.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Now, cast your mind back a couple of weeks ago.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26Omar and Mark were having a look in there and I think, it's fair to say, it was slightly untidy.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Yes. - And a lot of clutter hanging around.
0:42:29 > 0:42:32Yes, it was very boring, very cluttered. Just a mess.
0:42:32 > 0:42:33A mess. Right, OK.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35Well, I think they've done a really good job.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38I hope you're pleased with it. You've got your space back.
0:42:38 > 0:42:42It's now your bedroom again. No more clutter from mum and dad, all right?
0:42:42 > 0:42:47- It's not mine.- It's your room, OK? - Yes.- Let's keep it this way. But keep your eyes shut.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50- And take a look at your new bedroom, Zara. No peeping.- No.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52OK, come on through. Now let me just shut the door.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54Just stand there for a second.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Right, if you just move over towards this little area here.
0:42:57 > 0:42:59- Keep your eyes shut.- OK.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01Move closer together. There we go.
0:43:01 > 0:43:04After three, I want you to open your eyes and tell me what you think.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06- You ready?- OK.- Yes.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08One, two, three. There you go, that's your new room.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Oh, wow!
0:43:10 > 0:43:12- Oh, wow!- Oh, it's really nice!
0:43:12 > 0:43:16- Oh, isn't that gorgeous? - Isn't that fantastic, isn't it?
0:43:16 > 0:43:17- Oh, look.- Oh, it's lovely.
0:43:17 > 0:43:21Now, tell me what's new in here and what was in here before.
0:43:21 > 0:43:24Was that your shoe cupboard? I don't remember seeing that.
0:43:24 > 0:43:27- Was that buried amongst everything? - Probably, yeah.- Buried.
0:43:27 > 0:43:30- Oh, it's lovely. - There's all those pictures, look.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32Look at this, isn't that lovely? Look at that.
0:43:32 > 0:43:35- Some candles and stuff. - Oh, it's so lovely.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37- I can see you're pleased, then. - Yes!- Yes
0:43:37 > 0:43:41So all this de-cluttering has been worth it just to see a smile on your face, Zara.
0:43:41 > 0:43:45- Wow! - Fabulous. That's really lovely.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48- Excellent. All right, OK, well, follow me.- Thank you.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51That really is some transformation.
0:43:51 > 0:43:54This bedroom is now light and airy.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57A proper little palace for Zara to call home.
0:43:57 > 0:44:00It's gone from cluttered chaos to soothing sanctuary.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03And the most important thing is, it's a bedroom again.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10But getting the house back in order was only half the battle.
0:44:10 > 0:44:14We also have to reach our £600 target.
0:44:14 > 0:44:15Make it four. Come on.
0:44:15 > 0:44:18Can Mum stretch to a fiver or do you want to haggle?
0:44:18 > 0:44:19Young lady, what you got?
0:44:19 > 0:44:22It says here a maze of intricate, winding passages.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24It's a bit like Mark.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30Right, who wants to buy that lounger chair down there?
0:44:37 > 0:44:39Everything to go.
0:44:42 > 0:44:45- Lovely. Thank you very much. - Thank you, darling.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48All right, thank you very much.
0:44:48 > 0:44:50That's lovely. Thank you for that.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Now then, you look like a little lady who likes a nice whiteboard.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55Would you like that?
0:44:55 > 0:44:57What would you do with it?
0:44:57 > 0:44:59Play teachers with my sisters.
0:44:59 > 0:45:02Play teachers with your sisters. That's fantastic.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06Well, this actually is my fresh joke book for the year 2010.
0:45:07 > 0:45:10That's all my fresh jokes. Would you like that thrown in?
0:45:10 > 0:45:12No.
0:45:12 > 0:45:14What a sensible little girl.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- Are we on a budget?- Yeah.- Shall we say a fiver, is that all right?
0:45:17 > 0:45:20- Yes, that's fine.- How much have you got on you?- £3.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23- £3.- Well, OK.- What do you think, is that all right?- Yeah.
0:45:23 > 0:45:24Sounds like a deal to me.
0:45:24 > 0:45:26So if you hand the lady the money.
0:45:26 > 0:45:30An extra £3, less clutter and making one little girl very happy.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31Can't be bad!
0:45:31 > 0:45:33That's true, Paul.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35You've sold a whole lot of stuff today
0:45:35 > 0:45:39so I need to bring out the big guns from the garage clear-out.
0:45:39 > 0:45:44This ladder was owned by the most famous DIY man in this area.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48- Me.- Yeah.
0:45:48 > 0:45:49And it's good quality.
0:45:49 > 0:45:51Aluminium. Two-piece.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53So make me an offer.
0:45:53 > 0:45:55£25. £25?
0:45:55 > 0:45:5835 and you can have it.
0:45:58 > 0:46:01- Where is my wife? - Don't ask the wife.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03- Is she the boss?- Yes.
0:46:03 > 0:46:04Always the way.
0:46:04 > 0:46:0635 and you can have that.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08- I'll give that to you. - OK, that's a deal.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12- Very nice, thank you. - Quick, throw the money in.
0:46:12 > 0:46:16I've got to say, Omar is getting the hang of this salesman lark.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18£35 is a good deal.
0:46:18 > 0:46:22And I'm hoping our game is popular, that we got from one of the bedrooms.
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Now, I've never, ever seen anything like this before.
0:46:26 > 0:46:28So what's the basic rules here, Yvonne?
0:46:28 > 0:46:31I'm not sure, really.
0:46:31 > 0:46:33It's a flicky game.
0:46:33 > 0:46:35This man here knows. He'll tell us.
0:46:35 > 0:46:38OK, come on then, Omar. You can help us with this.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40It's a Carrom board. It's a Spanish word.
0:46:40 > 0:46:43It's a game like shove ha'penny.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45You do that and you set them up
0:46:45 > 0:46:49and the idea is that you pocket these ones.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Whatever goes first, that's your colour, OK.
0:46:51 > 0:46:54- I'm out of practice. There. - Nearly!- It would have gone in.
0:46:54 > 0:46:58- Is that about what you thought, as well? - Yeah.- It's a nice one, isn't it?
0:46:58 > 0:46:59OK, is this Dad with you?
0:46:59 > 0:47:02- Are you Dad?- Yes.- What do you think?
0:47:02 > 0:47:04Are we on a budget?
0:47:04 > 0:47:06- Are we on a budget? - Do we have a price in mind?
0:47:06 > 0:47:09- Have you got a price in mind? - Go on, then.
0:47:09 > 0:47:13- A fiver? A fiver. So we've been offered a fiver.- Yeah. - Is that all right with you?
0:47:13 > 0:47:19- Go on. It's a bargain.- Well, there's a saying in the antique business. One bid is worth 1,000 lookers-on.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22All right, so we'll take that. Shall we shake on that?
0:47:22 > 0:47:25Thank you. Thank you, Dad. I hope you have hours and hours of pleasure with that.
0:47:25 > 0:47:29- You need no batteries, no computers. That's for you.- Thank you.
0:47:29 > 0:47:32'Great! With all these customers visiting our stall,
0:47:32 > 0:47:35'we must be catching up with you now, Mark.'
0:47:35 > 0:47:36'You'd better hope so.
0:47:37 > 0:47:41'But, right now, it's time for the Trash To Cash auction.'
0:47:41 > 0:47:44We're both selling off the items Danny restored for us.
0:47:44 > 0:47:48My snooker table versus Mark's chairs.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52Right, guys, who wants to buy a pair of beautifully re-upholstered chairs?
0:47:52 > 0:47:55Right, I'm going to start the auction. Who's got a pound?
0:47:55 > 0:47:58- Oh, we've got a pound. - One there. Two?
0:47:58 > 0:48:00Who's got three?
0:48:00 > 0:48:02Three, four, five.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05Six. Who's got seven? Seven.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07- Eight.- Nine, anyone?
0:48:07 > 0:48:08- Who's got nine?- I've got nine.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09- Nine.- Ten.- Ten.
0:48:09 > 0:48:11Who's got 11?
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- 12!- 12. - 13!- 13.
0:48:14 > 0:48:15Who's got 14?
0:48:17 > 0:48:2014. Who's got 15? £15 to you.
0:48:20 > 0:48:22- £15.- Anyone else?
0:48:22 > 0:48:23She can have 'em!
0:48:23 > 0:48:25She can have 'em!
0:48:25 > 0:48:28- £15. Are you happy?- I'm happy.
0:48:28 > 0:48:30You've bought them. Come and pay. Thank you.
0:48:30 > 0:48:33Well done. Round of applause!
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Paul, ha ha, ha ha ha!
0:48:39 > 0:48:44That's good selling. I just have to hope there are a few people here who have room
0:48:44 > 0:48:49for a snooker table because I'm determined to stop it cluttering up this house.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53OK, it's come to the time now we're going to auction off this snooker table.
0:48:53 > 0:48:56Believe it or not, this was left in your dining room, doing nothing.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59But our fabulous handyman Danny has restored it,
0:48:59 > 0:49:04put it on these reversible legs, so you can take the legs on or off.
0:49:04 > 0:49:06So we want lots and lots of bidders.
0:49:06 > 0:49:09A fiver, then. Who wants to give me a fiver for a snooker table?
0:49:09 > 0:49:12A fiver for a snooker table. With two cues. All restored.
0:49:12 > 0:49:14- I'll give you a pound. - A pound, I will take.
0:49:14 > 0:49:19Can I see £3, sir? £3 to the gentleman in the front here. Thank you very much.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21Do I see a fiver anywhere?
0:49:21 > 0:49:26- A fiver.- A fiver. Thank you, sir. Hey, it's getting hot now! £5, do I see six, sir?
0:49:26 > 0:49:28£5 we have.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Well, it's going to go for a fiver. It's going once.
0:49:31 > 0:49:37It's going twice, and that's sold. Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:49:37 > 0:49:39That's cleared some space, hasn't it?
0:49:39 > 0:49:41Paul, £5 for a snooker table?
0:49:41 > 0:49:45- £5 for a snooker table. - I got more than that for one chair.
0:49:45 > 0:49:50To be fair, with an item like that, you've got to have the people there bidding to get the cash.
0:49:50 > 0:49:55- Ah, who am I kidding? I won! - Yes, you did, but I wouldn't rest on your laurels for long, though.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59With the sun going down, it's time for one last push.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Remember, the rules state that anything left over will go
0:50:02 > 0:50:06to the charity shop, so it's time for a selling frenzy.
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Are you twins?
0:50:08 > 0:50:11I'm her 16-year-old mum.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15- You can't be her mother! - Thank you. You're very flattering. - I know. Can I have some money now?
0:50:17 > 0:50:19Someone with a size 14.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23- Have you seen a yeti or the abominable snowman about? It's cold enough, isn't it?- Yes.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26- You've literally just bought the seed packets?- Yes.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29- On your way over here, saw this happening?- Yeah.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33- Came along and saw the plant pots to go with it?- Mm-hm.- It's meant to be!
0:50:33 > 0:50:35- Thank you.- Thank you very much. - Thank you so much.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Thank you. Bye.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47How about a fiver for the lot?
0:50:47 > 0:50:51- Does that sound all right? - Yeah, fine. - Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:50:51 > 0:50:54I'm pushing hard to get every possible penny I can.
0:50:54 > 0:50:57This is actually a health spa in a box.
0:50:57 > 0:50:58Very nice, very nice.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01You can have your nails done, your body moisturised.
0:51:01 > 0:51:04There's a scrubber and you can wash your hands at the same time.
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- How much is a weekend at a health club?- Hundreds!
0:51:06 > 0:51:10- Must be a thousand quid, something like that.- Absolutely.
0:51:10 > 0:51:13Well, we're going to do this today for £3.
0:51:13 > 0:51:16- Yeah, that sounds good. - Does that sound all right to you?
0:51:16 > 0:51:17- Yeah.- So that's done for £3.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21I tell you what I'll do. I'll throw you in a Play With Words just because I like you.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24- Thank you very much. - You're very welcome.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27- And that's it. We're out of customers.- All but one.
0:51:27 > 0:51:33We arranged to sell some of our exercise equipment to a private buyer and she's here.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37This is our very last chance to make some money.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40- Why do you want an abs machine? - I want an ab machine for my son.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42He's really keen to keep fit and exercise.
0:51:42 > 0:51:46- It looks in good condition. - It's in fabulous condition. - It looks in good condition.
0:51:46 > 0:51:52- Omar, are you going to show Ashanti how this one works?- Yeah, sure. - Go on, then.- OK.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55I'm going to do my gyratory, you know.
0:51:55 > 0:51:58This time next year, you'll be running the marathon.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02- I might have to get on it myself, maybe.- Yeah, why not?
0:52:02 > 0:52:07Demonstration over and it's time for the last deal of the day.
0:52:07 > 0:52:11Now is the time that you need to start talking about money. Omar, it's over to you.
0:52:11 > 0:52:17- This was about 25, 30, er, 35, £45, that's what it was.- OK.
0:52:17 > 0:52:20- This was about £30-odd as well.- OK.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Make me an offer I can't refuse.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25OK, so if I said 15 each?
0:52:27 > 0:52:29OK, then. I don't mind. That's fine.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31So what happened to haggling?
0:52:31 > 0:52:34You've got the same problem as me, Omar. I'm no good with a pretty face!
0:52:34 > 0:52:37- It's getting a bit late. - I can't deal with a pretty face!
0:52:37 > 0:52:40Don't judge everyone by your own standards, Mark.
0:52:40 > 0:52:44And Omar still did pretty well, getting an extra £30 for your kitty.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Too right! And with that, it's all over.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53Everything left at this stage will be given to a charity shop.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57Because one thing's for sure, it ain't going back in the house.
0:52:57 > 0:52:59After all our hard work,
0:52:59 > 0:53:02Yvonne and Omar's house is looking back to its best.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07The conservatory is a bright, usable space again.
0:53:08 > 0:53:13And Zara's room has been transformed into an attractive and relaxing place.
0:53:13 > 0:53:19Now, remember, Yvonne and Omar wanted to raise £600 from their clutter.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21Half to go towards a new garage roof
0:53:21 > 0:53:24and the other half to be given to their chosen good cause.
0:53:24 > 0:53:26So this is it.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29It's time to find out if we've hit our £600 target
0:53:29 > 0:53:32and who has turned the most trash into cash.
0:53:37 > 0:53:40- It's been a busy afternoon. - It certainly has.
0:53:40 > 0:53:43- There seemed to be deals happening left, right and centre.- Absolutely.
0:53:43 > 0:53:46But it's time now to reveal how much we've both made.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50- The big thing is, have you enjoyed yourselves?- We have.- Oh, yes.
0:53:50 > 0:53:52It's been lovely. Thank you all.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54I've had warmer days!
0:53:54 > 0:53:57- Yes!- Has he behaved himself? - It was a tad chilly.- Oh, I think he was all right.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00All right? I was excellent, actually!
0:54:00 > 0:54:01- I was wonderful!- You was average.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05On the count of three? One, two, three.
0:54:05 > 0:54:08- Wow!- Oh, look at that!
0:54:08 > 0:54:10- By a massive amount.- Wow! - That's incredible, isn't it?
0:54:10 > 0:54:13- That's very good. - So you're the winners.
0:54:13 > 0:54:16- By a lot.- By a long, long way. What did you sell for that sort of money?
0:54:16 > 0:54:19- Brilliant.- Well, just age before beauty, I suppose.
0:54:19 > 0:54:24- Well, do you know what? We've made £569.65.- Brilliant.
0:54:24 > 0:54:29Which is fantastic. Of which you get half and your charity gets half. Remind me about the charity again.
0:54:29 > 0:54:34It's a special school for children that are autistic and various disabilities.
0:54:34 > 0:54:39- Fantastic. Well, they get £284.83. - Brilliant. Brilliant.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41- Which is great, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43- And you get £284.82.- Right.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46- That's the way we do things. Does that sound all right?- Fair enough.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49I'm going to ask the boss what they'll do with the money.
0:54:49 > 0:54:52What are you going to do with the money?
0:54:52 > 0:54:56We'll put it towards having the garage roof fixed, which was always our aim.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58- I know a good builder.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02Not him.
0:55:06 > 0:55:11A few weeks later and it sounds like Yvonne has changed her hoarding habit.
0:55:11 > 0:55:14There's a lot more stuff that we'd probably like to get rid of
0:55:14 > 0:55:18so it's given us the impetus to go forward.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21We won't replace any of the things that we've gotten rid of.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23- That's the point of it. - I'm going to get a new wife.
0:55:23 > 0:55:27- We got rid because we don't need it. - New house. New wife. New kids.
0:55:27 > 0:55:32Brave man, Omar, especially as the money's being spent on the garage roof.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34Your little workshop.
0:55:34 > 0:55:38Well, all these roof planks have got to be replaced. All of them.
0:55:38 > 0:55:41As you can see,
0:55:41 > 0:55:44the dark colour shows you how much water has gone in there.
0:55:44 > 0:55:50And perhaps the most rewarding thing is raising money for their nephew's old school.
0:55:50 > 0:55:55The best aspect is the fact that the money raised for the charity
0:55:55 > 0:55:57will go towards Linn Moor School in Aberdeen.
0:55:57 > 0:56:01My nephew, John William McCulloch, attended that school.
0:56:01 > 0:56:03I'm sure it'll buy a piece of equipment
0:56:03 > 0:56:05so I'm pleased to be able to do that at least.
0:56:10 > 0:56:14There we are. A good day was had by all. Omar and Yvonne have some money for the new garage roof.
0:56:14 > 0:56:16And the charity's got a good lump sum.
0:56:16 > 0:56:20- And we all had a good laugh. - We had a fantastic time. - How bad is that?
0:56:20 > 0:56:23If you want to turn your trash into cash, watch us next time
0:56:23 > 0:56:25and we'll show you how to do it again.
