1
00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:01,430
This time.
2
00:00:02,150 --> 00:00:04,530
God, don't let the first customer walk
in now.
3
00:00:04,810 --> 00:00:05,810
Brand opening.
4
00:00:05,830 --> 00:00:07,770
I honestly don't think I've ever felt so
vulnerable.
5
00:00:08,130 --> 00:00:09,130
Missed target.
6
00:00:09,870 --> 00:00:13,470
You've not. I've done it. And a love
affair with a chair.
7
00:00:13,870 --> 00:00:16,390
That is absolutely fantastic.
8
00:00:17,030 --> 00:00:18,130
Did I die like that?
9
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:20,910
This is like a rookie error.
10
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:26,310
To millions, Johnny Vegas is known as an
award-winning stand-up comedian.
11
00:00:26,890 --> 00:00:27,890
Good evening, British.
12
00:00:28,170 --> 00:00:32,189
Much loved actor. I've got no range, but
distinctive is what I do.
13
00:00:32,890 --> 00:00:34,570
And celebrated artist.
14
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:40,430
But he's also a collector of vintage.
15
00:00:40,910 --> 00:00:45,910
The odd. This was once the pilot of a
flying badger. And the extraordinary.
16
00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:49,310
Why I bought this and what I paid for
it, I'm taking the fee.
17
00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:54,610
Now after years of dreaming, he's
turning his hobby into a business.
18
00:00:54,990 --> 00:00:56,190
Oh wow, it's massive.
19
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:59,950
By opening his very own vintage and
collectible shop.
20
00:01:00,650 --> 00:01:01,990
Oh, now we feel real.
21
00:01:03,110 --> 00:01:06,110
So with the help of lifelong friend and
assistant Bev.
22
00:01:06,410 --> 00:01:07,329
Well done.
23
00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:09,830
He's finally parting with some of his
collection.
24
00:01:10,310 --> 00:01:12,630
I'm really attached to it. And hitting
the road.
25
00:01:12,910 --> 00:01:14,170
God, we look like swingers.
26
00:01:14,890 --> 00:01:17,870
In search of hidden treasures to stock
the shop.
27
00:01:19,570 --> 00:01:20,568
Buying low.
28
00:01:20,570 --> 00:01:21,570
30 quid.
29
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:23,820
No, not 60. Just go for 70.
30
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:26,460
Are there any other monstrosities in
purchase?
31
00:01:26,900 --> 00:01:29,560
In the hopes of selling high. 200 quid.
32
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:30,900
Deal done.
33
00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:31,940
I like it.
34
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:37,660
But as a first-time dealer, has Johnny
got what it takes?
35
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:39,980
Auctions are not a good place for
Johnny.
36
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,460
Spank double the budget.
37
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:43,140
You don't trust me, do you? No.
38
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:46,560
It's been a tough week.
39
00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:50,960
To turn his lifelong passion... Here we
go.
40
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:52,860
Into the business of his dreams.
41
00:01:53,660 --> 00:01:55,260
Do you know what I'm doing?
42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,600
It's opening day at Vintage Vegas.
43
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:18,380
The culmination of a lifetime of
collecting, weeks of planning and
44
00:02:18,380 --> 00:02:19,380
construction.
45
00:02:19,710 --> 00:02:20,710
Oh, it's exciting.
46
00:02:21,850 --> 00:02:23,270
I can't be excited.
47
00:02:23,710 --> 00:02:25,790
It's like that tunnel at the end of your
life.
48
00:02:26,870 --> 00:02:29,010
Is this all I've done with my life?
49
00:02:30,790 --> 00:02:32,670
That needs to be upright.
50
00:02:33,710 --> 00:02:35,810
Oh, have you got some tweaking to do?
51
00:02:36,410 --> 00:02:40,970
With only two buying tricks under his
belt, the shop has been mostly stocked
52
00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:43,110
with items from Johnny's own personal
collection.
53
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:45,090
That's going in the back.
54
00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:46,350
OK.
55
00:02:46,450 --> 00:02:47,690
I've been on stage.
56
00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:49,410
And I've died.
57
00:02:49,530 --> 00:02:51,270
I've done comedy gigs.
58
00:02:52,030 --> 00:02:54,290
I honestly don't think I've ever felt so
vulnerable.
59
00:02:55,350 --> 00:02:59,150
It could be absolutely soul-destroying
if everybody's come in to have a look
60
00:02:59,150 --> 00:03:00,330
and not left with anything.
61
00:03:00,950 --> 00:03:03,370
I'm just really worried about what
people are going to make of it.
62
00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:07,550
God, don't let the first customer walk
in now.
63
00:03:08,050 --> 00:03:09,050
Is she going?
64
00:03:09,070 --> 00:03:11,590
Well, she can't lie under a table. OK.
65
00:03:13,950 --> 00:03:14,950
I'm not nervous.
66
00:03:15,700 --> 00:03:17,680
Opening day and he's a bag of nerves.
67
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:18,920
He really is.
68
00:03:19,180 --> 00:03:23,300
I think there might have to be a point
where I just open that door and let
69
00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:26,600
people in because it was up to Johnny.
It would still be closed at five o
70
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,180
'clock. You want to open your shop?
71
00:03:31,060 --> 00:03:37,460
And so, after last minute tinkering and
two hours later than anticipated, Johnny
72
00:03:37,460 --> 00:03:39,560
finally opens for business.
73
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:41,280
We're open!
74
00:03:41,660 --> 00:03:42,840
Ha ha ha!
75
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,740
But opening up is one thing, getting
customers through the door is another.
76
00:03:52,900 --> 00:03:53,900
Right.
77
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:04,140
Oh, there's some people. There's some
people.
78
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Hello. Have a look round.
79
00:04:09,500 --> 00:04:13,280
Ask questions. Ask a price or give us a
price. You won't offend us.
80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:16,880
You alright?
81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,860
Feel free to browse, any questions on
anything?
82
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,320
With the shop filling up, there's no
more space for nerves.
83
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,700
It's time for Johnny Vegas to turn
shopkeeper.
84
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,860
One of the first items to get noticed
are the racing courses from Johnny's
85
00:04:34,860 --> 00:04:35,860
lock-up.
86
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,280
They're off a cruise ship from the 50s
and it was a deck game and you picked
87
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:42,960
possibly the most complete one.
88
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:45,990
They are antiques, so they're 60 each.
89
00:04:46,970 --> 00:04:48,130
That's them being used.
90
00:04:49,390 --> 00:04:53,110
And that's what sold that to me, was
going, wow.
91
00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:55,610
And the condition it's still in after
all those years.
92
00:04:55,990 --> 00:05:00,670
If you're into horses and you're into
cruises, it's a bit of a no-brainer.
93
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:06,690
But he has to be 60, because he's got
all four legs, he's got his tail, and I
94
00:05:06,690 --> 00:05:09,010
can't go any lower than that. I'm sorry.
95
00:05:09,770 --> 00:05:11,690
Honestly, that's...
96
00:05:12,890 --> 00:05:19,170
I think for the back story, for
everything, it's not a bad... Honestly,
97
00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:20,810
I am not beating you up on that.
98
00:05:21,090 --> 00:05:22,770
It's worth that all day long. Thank you
very much.
99
00:05:23,470 --> 00:05:24,470
Thank you.
100
00:05:24,970 --> 00:05:29,250
When the Grand National's on, I'll get
it out and I'll be thinking about you,
101
00:05:29,370 --> 00:05:32,830
Johnny. You know you've got a back
number four every year. Yeah, a back
102
00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:33,830
number four, yeah.
103
00:05:34,250 --> 00:05:40,370
It made me feel so... It was not as
painful as I thought it might be.
104
00:05:40,990 --> 00:05:43,830
I'm happier, I'm feeling far better than
I thought I would.
105
00:05:44,330 --> 00:05:45,330
I'm a dealer.
106
00:05:46,270 --> 00:05:47,270
Get me.
107
00:05:49,210 --> 00:05:54,030
Hoid by his first sales, Johnny hits the
shop floor and gets to work selling his
108
00:05:54,030 --> 00:05:55,590
collection to his new customers.
109
00:05:56,910 --> 00:05:58,070
20 quid for the per.
110
00:05:58,530 --> 00:06:00,170
20 pounds it is. 20 pounds.
111
00:06:01,630 --> 00:06:02,830
I'm actually selling.
112
00:06:03,050 --> 00:06:07,650
I'm in salesman mode. 60 on that would
do it. All my stuff is really great.
113
00:06:08,190 --> 00:06:09,710
But it's going and it's selling.
114
00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:10,909
Pleasure. What a joke.
115
00:06:10,910 --> 00:06:11,910
Thanks, Quinn.
116
00:06:15,450 --> 00:06:17,990
Happy with that? Good for a first day,
isn't it?
117
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:19,310
Well done.
118
00:06:19,630 --> 00:06:22,510
The first day has been really great.
Couldn't have gone any better.
119
00:06:22,930 --> 00:06:26,410
It would have been absolutely
devastating. We'd have shut the door at
120
00:06:26,410 --> 00:06:31,130
five and had no sales. But all the
customers have been really complimentary
121
00:06:31,130 --> 00:06:33,730
about the shop and the stuff that he's
selling.
122
00:06:33,970 --> 00:06:35,850
And, yeah, there's been quite a lot of
sales.
123
00:06:36,570 --> 00:06:37,570
I'm really happy.
124
00:06:38,410 --> 00:06:42,910
I'm tired, but I'm really happy. It
didn't kill me letting stuff go.
125
00:06:43,130 --> 00:06:47,970
That's the best bit. That's the one bit
that makes me feel like I might just
126
00:06:47,970 --> 00:06:51,090
stand a chance at being more than a
fanboy.
127
00:06:51,510 --> 00:06:55,070
And I'm inspired to go out and get
better at this.
128
00:06:59,070 --> 00:07:03,850
With the shop now closed for the day,
having met the public, Johnny is keen to
129
00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:04,850
meet his neighbours.
130
00:07:06,020 --> 00:07:11,000
Dagfield is host to over 200 different
dealers and workshops with a tight-knit
131
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,640
community that Johnny is keen to become
part of.
132
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,720
Come on in.
133
00:07:16,460 --> 00:07:17,460
Hello.
134
00:07:17,940 --> 00:07:20,220
Now that's my breakfast.
135
00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:22,920
I was going to say, I thought this young
man was the proprietor.
136
00:07:23,260 --> 00:07:24,260
Hiya mate, Johnny.
137
00:07:24,580 --> 00:07:25,760
Hi, I'm Dave. Hiya Dave.
138
00:07:26,300 --> 00:07:28,120
I'm the bloke next door.
139
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,860
The new arrival. The new neighbour.
140
00:07:31,540 --> 00:07:32,560
How's it going? Hello.
141
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,640
I've seen your telly. Have you?
142
00:07:37,460 --> 00:07:38,460
I'm Baird.
143
00:07:38,900 --> 00:07:43,560
Johnny. This is Dave, but I'm guessing
you've already met him.
144
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:45,020
Yeah.
145
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,300
Do you do campers? We do. Do all kinds
of campers. I have a bit of history with
146
00:07:50,300 --> 00:07:55,100
campers. I'm doing collecting and
selling stuff that I've gathered over
147
00:07:55,100 --> 00:07:58,700
the years. It's an eclectic mix of
stuff, so there's no...
148
00:07:59,340 --> 00:08:01,640
firm plan other than things I like.
149
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:04,640
Will it work commercially? Do you like
any of Dave's stuff? He's got a lot of
150
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,640
stuff. Do you like stuff?
151
00:08:06,460 --> 00:08:09,040
And you're handy.
152
00:08:09,940 --> 00:08:15,220
Nothing can be made that I can't fix.
It's good to know. He is useful to have
153
00:08:15,220 --> 00:08:20,920
around. If you need someone to fix
something, I love that. Not in a
154
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:21,920
relationship.
155
00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:23,620
He's useful.
156
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:24,659
He's useful.
157
00:08:24,660 --> 00:08:26,420
Not wonderful to have around.
158
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,760
He's useful.
159
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,620
But if you can mend stuff, we might have
a future together, you know. Just bring
160
00:08:31,620 --> 00:08:33,280
it round, I'll sort it for you. You
sure?
161
00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:34,640
Yeah. Fantastic.
162
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:38,919
Yeah? Could be the start of something, a
wonderful, a beautiful relationship,
163
00:08:39,100 --> 00:08:40,100
couldn't it? Hi.
164
00:08:40,140 --> 00:08:41,140
Hello.
165
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:43,039
Should I open a shop?
166
00:08:43,460 --> 00:08:44,460
I've got Baba.
167
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:48,500
Again, what my financial advisor said.
168
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:51,340
Love forward to seeing you.
169
00:08:52,020 --> 00:08:53,020
Love to have you.
170
00:08:53,420 --> 00:08:54,420
Bye-bye.
171
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:55,440
Bye-bye.
172
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,720
Making friends already, it's always
nice.
173
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,280
I've always thought of having a shop as
being a solo venture, but then you do
174
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:11,040
suddenly realise you know that much, and
as you're learning more and more,
175
00:09:11,260 --> 00:09:16,080
there's a kind of specialist for
everything, and having access to all
176
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:20,780
that, where you can just reach out, or
it's a 10-yard walk away, is obviously
177
00:09:20,780 --> 00:09:21,780
hugely beneficial.
178
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,220
It looks big, this place, Johnny.
There's a lot more stuff, and a lot more
179
00:09:31,220 --> 00:09:36,080
stuff doesn't necessarily mean loads of
great stuff. But I've been in some like
180
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,200
this, and 90% of it is house clearances,
and it's not the best stuff from the
181
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,200
houses.
182
00:09:41,540 --> 00:09:46,780
Sometimes these can be either hit and
miss or an absolute goldmine. Little
183
00:09:46,780 --> 00:09:47,780
goldmine place.
184
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,580
And your kid in a candy shop, you just
don't know where to look.
185
00:09:51,980 --> 00:09:55,660
On a mission to restock their shop with
small, saleable items...
186
00:09:56,170 --> 00:10:00,290
Johnny and Bev are heading for the
Weaving Shed in Cullingworth, Yorkshire.
187
00:10:02,150 --> 00:10:06,570
At this four-storey antique
mega-emporium, they will be doing
188
00:10:06,570 --> 00:10:08,070
business with Roy Mason.
189
00:10:08,390 --> 00:10:11,870
I'm one of the four dealers here at the
Weaving Shed, and I've been in the
190
00:10:11,870 --> 00:10:12,870
business for five years.
191
00:10:20,430 --> 00:10:21,430
You've not.
192
00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:26,030
Not a half an egg, but a fellow.
193
00:10:26,250 --> 00:10:27,250
Oh, God.
194
00:10:28,590 --> 00:10:29,590
Nothing, Nora.
195
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:33,850
Nothing says I'm in business like a
massive egg stain on your teeth.
196
00:10:37,770 --> 00:10:38,770
God, it's huge.
197
00:10:39,290 --> 00:10:41,150
I'm going to mooch off and leave you.
Right.
198
00:10:44,590 --> 00:10:46,530
I like them because they've not been
touched.
199
00:10:48,750 --> 00:10:50,070
I don't like them restored.
200
00:10:51,690 --> 00:10:52,890
That door is beautiful.
201
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:56,580
I'm not even through. I'm not.
202
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,980
No pun intended. I'm not even through
the doors.
203
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:00,960
I'm looking at doors.
204
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,240
Roy. Johnny.
205
00:11:04,500 --> 00:11:08,440
You all right, mate? I'm all right. Nice
to meet you. So this is your spot. This
206
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,500
is your... Yep, this is all mine. I'm
round there as well, yep. Can I go and
207
00:11:11,500 --> 00:11:12,279
have a wander?
208
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,880
You certainly can, and hopefully you'll
find something that interests you.
209
00:11:15,700 --> 00:11:17,540
You can remove the hopefully out of
that.
210
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,000
Ooh.
211
00:11:29,430 --> 00:11:30,490
Yeah. West German.
212
00:11:31,090 --> 00:11:32,090
I like him.
213
00:11:34,370 --> 00:11:35,510
Oh, that's nice too.
214
00:11:36,230 --> 00:11:40,410
It is. And you know what? When I got it,
it was in a real state. It was filthy.
215
00:11:40,510 --> 00:11:42,890
Probably haven't seen the light of day
for the last 20 years.
216
00:11:43,150 --> 00:11:47,450
If you like your industrial type of
thing, it's an absolute solid table or
217
00:11:47,450 --> 00:11:48,610
deck. I love it.
218
00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:53,570
What's the age on the lamp? Is that new
to...
219
00:11:53,790 --> 00:11:55,190
No, it's the Scrumble angle poise.
220
00:11:56,530 --> 00:11:59,310
I've never seen it without a finish on
it. Yeah, it's the original finish.
221
00:11:59,970 --> 00:12:02,230
And that's called Scrumble? Scrumble,
yeah.
222
00:12:02,510 --> 00:12:05,230
It's just the Scrumble paint. You see it
on furniture as well.
223
00:12:06,310 --> 00:12:07,310
Right.
224
00:12:08,110 --> 00:12:13,170
What I'm struggling with here is the
larger buys are really reasonably
225
00:12:13,170 --> 00:12:16,850
priced. The smalls are more than what I
want a pair.
226
00:12:17,350 --> 00:12:18,990
I'll have to get the price down on
everything.
227
00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:22,750
This is not a shop for dealers, I would
say.
228
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,440
So how do you convince them to get it
down to a price to make it worth your
229
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,560
while? Because you are fundamentally
saying to them, I want your profit
230
00:12:30,560 --> 00:12:31,560
margin.
231
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,720
Back at the weaving shed in Yorkshire,
while Johnny Vegas searches for more
232
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:48,120
items he thinks he can get a deal on...
That's a nice little... Bev's keeping
233
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:49,120
herself entertained.
234
00:12:49,620 --> 00:12:50,660
I'm the chopper.
235
00:12:55,450 --> 00:12:57,450
I might need the seat lower. Oh, God.
236
00:12:58,050 --> 00:13:00,490
I don't know if they were made for
comfort in the 70s.
237
00:13:01,490 --> 00:13:04,510
Oh, it's not comfort.
238
00:13:05,110 --> 00:13:06,270
I might need some Vaseline.
239
00:13:08,290 --> 00:13:11,330
Like I say, I love the fairground stuff.
240
00:13:11,630 --> 00:13:14,490
Kicks in all your horses and I'm going,
are you buying for the shop?
241
00:13:14,750 --> 00:13:16,070
They're all original, the horses.
242
00:13:16,430 --> 00:13:20,450
Yeah, I know, you can tell. They were at
a fairground in Ripon, which isn't too
243
00:13:20,450 --> 00:13:24,190
far away from here. I just like the...
the artwork on them as well. And I think
244
00:13:24,190 --> 00:13:27,190
once you get something that's original,
they've all been hand-painted, haven't
245
00:13:27,190 --> 00:13:28,190
they?
246
00:13:29,130 --> 00:13:30,810
So this is a barber chair.
247
00:13:31,290 --> 00:13:35,050
Yep, so... That is absolutely fantastic.
248
00:13:35,930 --> 00:13:39,310
What's the age on that? Because that
looks relatively... The Italian barber's
249
00:13:39,310 --> 00:13:40,310
shop chair.
250
00:13:40,910 --> 00:13:41,970
Obviously for kids.
251
00:13:42,210 --> 00:13:45,270
You think again, how many kids will have
sat in that over the years, having a
252
00:13:45,270 --> 00:13:46,270
shop back inside?
253
00:13:46,330 --> 00:13:48,990
That is absolutely... It's fantastic,
isn't it?
254
00:13:49,290 --> 00:13:51,790
It's in good nick from that era, isn't
it? It is in good nick, yep.
255
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:53,240
The wheels go round as well.
256
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,260
I think that's fantastic. That's my
favourite thing I've seen so far, that.
257
00:13:59,140 --> 00:14:03,780
As a talking point, something in the
shop that just sets you apart, I have
258
00:14:03,780 --> 00:14:06,620
never seen one. I will never see another
one in my life.
259
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:08,160
This.
260
00:14:08,380 --> 00:14:09,420
This is phenomenal.
261
00:14:11,940 --> 00:14:15,860
Johnny now knows what he likes, but can
he get it for the price he wants?
262
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:21,040
Starting with the engineering desk,
priced at £165.
263
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,780
and the accompanying chair, on for £135.
264
00:14:25,260 --> 00:14:28,000
You give me a price that you think you'd
be comfortable with.
265
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,240
I won't start low, don't want to offend
you.
266
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:35,520
Right, I'm a plain-speaking
Yorkshireman, I like to deal with
267
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:41,020
simple. Well, I think, I hope, I'm doing
forever, taking both at once at £250.
268
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,220
I like that bet, £250.
269
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,560
Sal?
270
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,600
This 1950s machinist table and chair.
271
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,280
was purpose-built for mill workers in
Keeley, West Yorkshire.
272
00:14:53,780 --> 00:14:54,699
I'm thrilled.
273
00:14:54,700 --> 00:14:58,860
The desk and chair is not enough often
for me to make some of them.
274
00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:05,140
Next item on the agenda, the Charles
Italian barber chair, on sale for £225.
275
00:15:08,020 --> 00:15:09,020
That chair.
276
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,740
If I can get £175, that would be
amazing. I won't get that. If I can get
277
00:15:13,740 --> 00:15:15,180
£200, who knows, I'll like it.
278
00:15:15,380 --> 00:15:16,780
I think £200 would be a fair price.
279
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:18,620
I just can't leave this.
280
00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:20,480
It's lovely, isn't it?
281
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:21,700
It's a one-off piece.
282
00:15:22,260 --> 00:15:23,260
225 on it.
283
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,100
You told me the price on that one.
284
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,160
I'll give you a one-off price because I
paid quite heavily for it because I've
285
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,099
not seen it.
286
00:15:31,100 --> 00:15:34,220
But I've had it a while, so I'm prepared
to take a little bit of a hit on it.
287
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,160
185.
288
00:15:39,500 --> 00:15:42,360
That's only a ten over the cheeky bid I
was going to offer.
289
00:15:43,540 --> 00:15:44,540
Thank you very much.
290
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:49,100
This sets you apart.
291
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,480
You have not got a generic collectible
shelf.
292
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:54,880
You've got one-offs.
293
00:15:56,220 --> 00:15:59,880
Next up, the angle poise lamp, priced at
£125.
294
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:02,820
I do love that.
295
00:16:03,060 --> 00:16:04,060
Yep.
296
00:16:04,100 --> 00:16:09,500
But I have kind of spent up on the other
stuff. Yeah, I get that. It is lovely.
297
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:10,700
It's in great condition.
298
00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:12,379
It's fabulous.
299
00:16:12,380 --> 00:16:15,040
Yeah. It's got the, you know what I
mean? I know the raised base.
300
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,400
Yeah. The ones, it's the three yard
echo, but that is. Yeah. And they hold
301
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:20,400
the value as well, Johnny.
302
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:29,740
I said I've spent my money on that. How
303
00:16:29,740 --> 00:16:30,699
much?
304
00:16:30,700 --> 00:16:32,020
It'd have to be a straight one.
305
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:34,220
Yeah.
306
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,680
There you go.
307
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,200
was manufactured by Herbert Terry and
Sons in Worcestershire in 1935.
308
00:16:45,220 --> 00:16:50,660
It rose to popularity during the war as
an ideal blackout lamp that could direct
309
00:16:50,660 --> 00:16:51,900
light away from windows.
310
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,920
I'm dead happy with what I've got.
311
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,740
Yep, no, you're happy. I am more than
happy.
312
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:00,940
But Roy has got one last offer to throw
Johnny's way.
313
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:05,619
A small matter of a £250 fairground
hose.
314
00:17:05,819 --> 00:17:06,819
I'll tell you what I'll do.
315
00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:12,390
Because you're starting out in business,
and I always like to think, as a fellow
316
00:17:12,390 --> 00:17:14,930
dealer, you've got to give them a bit of
a gift at some point.
317
00:17:15,930 --> 00:17:19,650
I will do that for you for what I paid
for it, and that's £130.
318
00:17:28,310 --> 00:17:33,810
Found in fairgrounds from the Victorian
era through to the 1970s...
319
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:39,620
This late 1950s model was scratch-made
on site as a fairground in North
320
00:17:39,620 --> 00:17:43,020
Yorkshire. And I'm happy to do that
because I think... That's an absolute
321
00:17:43,020 --> 00:17:45,600
thank you. At the start of it, it's
about building these relationships,
322
00:17:45,820 --> 00:17:46,820
getting something going.
323
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:47,719
You're a gentleman.
324
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,000
Thank you. Right, well, best start
packing up, aren't we?
325
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:52,940
Tell me that's not cool.
326
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,160
Oh, I love it.
327
00:17:54,860 --> 00:17:56,220
Oh, that is fantastic.
328
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,080
That was Roy's gift to me. Was it?
329
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:00,300
Have a guess how much.
330
00:18:00,540 --> 00:18:01,540
Paper 150?
331
00:18:01,900 --> 00:18:02,900
130. Oh.
332
00:18:04,110 --> 00:18:05,650
So it's just a lamp now, then?
333
00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:07,230
The lamp?
334
00:18:07,290 --> 00:18:08,029
The lamp.
335
00:18:08,030 --> 00:18:09,030
Haven't you bought a lamp?
336
00:18:09,290 --> 00:18:10,290
I don't think so.
337
00:18:10,530 --> 00:18:13,110
Oh. What is this lamp you speak of? I
don't know. I thought they just said
338
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:15,330
anything else and they just said maybe a
lamp.
339
00:18:16,030 --> 00:18:17,110
An angle-poised lamp?
340
00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:18,990
Oh, yeah.
341
00:18:21,790 --> 00:18:22,790
Sorry.
342
00:18:23,770 --> 00:18:27,970
If you're going to ever hope to make a
profit in this game, stock control.
343
00:18:29,010 --> 00:18:30,170
Do I own a lamp?
344
00:18:30,530 --> 00:18:32,450
I've no recollection of buying a lamp.
345
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,580
How dare you accuse me of... Oh, that
one, yeah.
346
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:43,580
It's so nice in there, though, Johnny,
isn't it? All those stuff.
347
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,700
Yeah. The barber's church.
348
00:18:46,420 --> 00:18:48,360
You know what I mean? Another great
concert.
349
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,820
Great. Really good advice. Really
eye-to-eye.
350
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:55,480
Starting to feel like a dangle. Oh, I
was just going to say, you're making all
351
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,840
your little names. It's like the second
me on the... Yeah, yeah.
352
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,220
Johnny found his tribe.
353
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:02,520
Johnny returned to the shop.
354
00:19:02,860 --> 00:19:04,520
Feeling like a bona fide dealer.
355
00:19:10,500 --> 00:19:11,600
Hello, my beauty.
356
00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:18,719
What's that?
357
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,720
What was that?
358
00:19:20,300 --> 00:19:22,340
It's one of my... Did I buy it like
that?
359
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,220
I think so.
360
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,400
What, with tape on it?
361
00:19:28,490 --> 00:19:31,950
I'm not sure. I just loaded it in the
van. I didn't sort of inspect it. Why?
362
00:19:32,030 --> 00:19:33,970
What's up? What's it got on? It's just
gaffer tape.
363
00:19:36,390 --> 00:19:42,950
I don't think I'd have bought it without
it with tape on it. That's quite...
364
00:19:42,950 --> 00:19:49,950
This is like a
365
00:19:49,950 --> 00:19:50,950
rookie error.
366
00:19:52,670 --> 00:19:53,670
Is it really bad?
367
00:19:54,390 --> 00:19:57,150
It's just that all the value's gone out
of it.
368
00:19:58,300 --> 00:19:59,460
It's probably why.
369
00:19:59,900 --> 00:20:02,740
And he's a decent trader, so I'm not
going to go with him.
370
00:20:03,260 --> 00:20:04,860
It's my fault for not seeing it.
371
00:20:05,700 --> 00:20:10,840
And he did us really good on Judgmental
Horse there.
372
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,560
He's now looking at me going, well, you
didn't check it. It's on the table.
373
00:20:16,860 --> 00:20:17,880
Shall we go and get John?
374
00:20:18,140 --> 00:20:19,660
Yeah. Just come in and have a look.
Yeah.
375
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:26,040
With Johnny at the loss.
376
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:33,290
Fellow trader and neighbour, antique
dealer John Eggleton, is on hand to put
377
00:20:33,290 --> 00:20:36,310
a value on the haul, including the
broken chair.
378
00:20:37,870 --> 00:20:39,130
Johnny, how's it going, mate?
379
00:20:39,410 --> 00:20:40,189
Thank you, mate.
380
00:20:40,190 --> 00:20:41,190
What's the problem?
381
00:20:41,290 --> 00:20:45,450
I didn't check. It was taped at the
front. I got very excited. I know it
382
00:20:45,450 --> 00:20:48,690
wasn't the best example of these, but
you know the barber's chairs? Yeah,
383
00:20:48,690 --> 00:20:49,689
yeah, yeah.
384
00:20:49,690 --> 00:20:54,570
Charles Barber's chair. Yeah, but it...
I thought it had survived.
385
00:20:54,930 --> 00:20:56,550
So how much are you in that for?
386
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,040
Go for 185.
387
00:20:59,060 --> 00:21:00,060
Okay.
388
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,900
I think a lot of the money's already in
it.
389
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,540
I think as well.
390
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,240
It's just going out buying, I think a
little bit of overconfidence.
391
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:14,900
Yeah. That's got to go at either a bit
of a loss to be brutal or a very, very
392
00:21:14,900 --> 00:21:17,720
small profit. It's a great learning
piece in two ways.
393
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,940
One, price you're paying, and two,
always look for damage, and if it's
394
00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:25,040
going to cost money, it's got to go to
one side.
395
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,720
It's a lesson learned.
396
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:30,060
Move on from that.
397
00:21:30,580 --> 00:21:35,920
It's done. It's dusted. Move on to this.
I think what we need to do here, clean
398
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,420
it, because look at this here. It's got
great crackling.
399
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,100
The covers will bounce when it's...
It'll pop.
400
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,680
What would you put it out of?
401
00:21:45,700 --> 00:21:46,700
Be honest.
402
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,460
You're beyond hurting my feelings now.
403
00:21:50,250 --> 00:21:52,050
Probably 230 on it, 240.
404
00:21:52,270 --> 00:21:54,730
Yeah, that would be my high point on
that.
405
00:21:54,990 --> 00:21:55,990
No, he did 130.
406
00:21:57,130 --> 00:21:58,130
Oh, that's fine.
407
00:21:59,130 --> 00:22:04,450
With a potential profit of £110 on the
rocking horse, offsetting his loss on
408
00:22:04,450 --> 00:22:05,450
the barber chair,
409
00:22:05,910 --> 00:22:08,490
Johnny's hoping the rest of his buys
make the grade.
410
00:22:09,230 --> 00:22:14,050
The desk, the chair as well. So you've
got the chair with you as well. So for
411
00:22:14,050 --> 00:22:15,110
this and this?
412
00:22:15,910 --> 00:22:17,610
I would ask...
413
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,480
Hi, that's 450 for the per.
414
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,100
I know you're going to say maybe 380 or
350.
415
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:26,480
No, I'm going to say five.
416
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,180
Really? 250, 250.
417
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:29,600
You made me do it.
418
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,620
And this, I've just, I've never seen
that finish.
419
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,040
No, it's a real good, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I actually, I've never seen one in that
420
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,820
colour, and it doesn't look like
somebody's done an amateur, or is it?
421
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,920
Has somebody just had a go at it? That's
cool. Better bulb in there. Oh, yeah,
422
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:48,960
yeah. You know.
423
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:50,640
Yeah,
424
00:22:50,860 --> 00:22:51,860
I like that one.
425
00:22:52,140 --> 00:22:53,140
I paid 100.
426
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,980
I don't know, 80 is what you're possibly
thinking.
427
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,700
No, absolutely not, no.
428
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,620
I was thinking 180, 190 on that one.
Seriously?
429
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:04,120
Absolutely. It's got a great look to it.
430
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:08,380
I'd have that out at 180. I know that'd
go quick, without a doubt.
431
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:18,440
The desk, I'm saying that's the best
sort of bundle or presentation piece so
432
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:19,440
far.
433
00:23:20,780 --> 00:23:24,900
I'm really happy with the lamp. So it's
original, it's good, it's all correct.
434
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,080
It suits that.
435
00:23:26,180 --> 00:23:27,620
It's a really good size.
436
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:33,420
Lovely. The barber's chair, I do
nobody's fault but my own.
437
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,840
Bit embarrassed.
438
00:23:36,020 --> 00:23:40,980
So I'm going to put it in the back just
for now and I'm going to decide whether
439
00:23:40,980 --> 00:23:42,080
to repair it or not.
440
00:23:42,380 --> 00:23:45,780
There's no point putting something out,
clinging onto it for dear life, if it's
441
00:23:45,780 --> 00:23:47,380
going to detract from the look of the
shop.
442
00:23:47,940 --> 00:23:49,440
If it's a mistake, it's a mistake.
443
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:55,480
Own it, keep it, put it in the back, and
let it serve as a reminder what to buy
444
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,560
and what not to buy in future.
445
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,000
Johnny's got the barber chair out of the
van, the little kids one, and he
446
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,120
absolutely loved it when he bought it.
And part of it's broken.
447
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,980
The plastic was sort of like sellotaped
together.
448
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:20,700
He's gutted.
449
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,480
He's gutted because he loved it. I think
he really thought he had a really,
450
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,560
really nice piece.
451
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,100
Hello, young man. How you doing?
452
00:24:29,100 --> 00:24:30,120
What can I do for you?
453
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:36,060
Well, so obviously it's the bike you put
the kid in at the barber's, and this
454
00:24:36,060 --> 00:24:39,300
front bit is...
455
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,440
As good as gone. I'm not quite sure what
to do.
456
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,200
So do you want it loving and looking
like it always was?
457
00:24:48,340 --> 00:24:49,340
Old romantic.
458
00:24:49,420 --> 00:24:50,840
I love that this has survived.
459
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:55,660
Yeah. You know, there's certain bits of
it that you go, if I took that off and
460
00:24:55,660 --> 00:24:58,160
had a new one cast... It wouldn't be the
same. I'd know.
461
00:24:59,180 --> 00:25:00,700
It's got charisma like it is.
462
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,920
Well, I don't want to burden you.
463
00:25:04,220 --> 00:25:05,220
It's not a problem.
464
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,700
Tiny bit of TLC. No major restoration or
anything.
465
00:25:09,230 --> 00:25:12,950
Just make it look like it always was. Do
you mind having a quick kind of... I'll
466
00:25:12,950 --> 00:25:13,950
enjoy doing that.
467
00:25:14,230 --> 00:25:15,230
Will you? Good.
468
00:25:16,050 --> 00:25:19,490
Because I can't wait to see the back of
it.
469
00:25:22,270 --> 00:25:25,710
I've just taken the bike to my neighbour
Dave.
470
00:25:26,170 --> 00:25:30,770
I know it won't see back what I spent on
it. I'm still not quite willing to give
471
00:25:30,770 --> 00:25:33,130
up on it. I still want it to find a
home.
472
00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:37,770
And as long as there's not silly time
put into it, even if it's just sprucing
473
00:25:37,770 --> 00:25:38,770
it up.
474
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,100
I still think it's earned a place in the
shop.
475
00:25:43,060 --> 00:25:46,720
Johnny has already learned that antique
stealing is not as easy as it looks.
476
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:49,220
But neither is getting the day started.
477
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:52,700
I know they are quite far away.
478
00:25:53,860 --> 00:25:54,860
No, but they are.
479
00:25:55,340 --> 00:25:57,100
No, mine's got more movement than you.
480
00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,780
I don't think that seatbelt's been used
very often.
481
00:26:00,140 --> 00:26:02,660
You might have to lube it. Which is a
good thing.
482
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,160
You might have to lube it. Well,
exactly.
483
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:05,440
It'll stop you going through the window.
484
00:26:05,620 --> 00:26:07,480
You just suggested lubing up a seatbelt.
485
00:26:08,110 --> 00:26:10,990
Well, just maybe something. Just give it
a tug.
486
00:26:11,670 --> 00:26:12,670
Derive.
487
00:26:12,890 --> 00:26:13,890
I was nervous.
488
00:26:15,070 --> 00:26:16,049
About what?
489
00:26:16,050 --> 00:26:19,250
This one, but it's Swiss cottage.
490
00:26:19,830 --> 00:26:22,410
Yeah. Proper. Why are you nervous?
491
00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:26,610
Well, because it's proper. But they are
liquidating the stock.
492
00:26:32,570 --> 00:26:36,430
Johnny and Bev are back in Yorkshire,
heading to Swiss cottage.
493
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:43,380
An industrial size prop hiring antique
emporium run by John Howarth.
494
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,120
Me and my wife have been doing this for
about 40 years. We started many years
495
00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:54,080
ago with a shop that was about six foot
square and we built up from there.
496
00:26:54,560 --> 00:27:00,160
This space is now crammed with thousands
upon thousands of items encompassing
497
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,620
anything and everything you could
possibly imagine.
498
00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:08,800
My passion is just hunting, unearthing
the obscure, looking into the history of
499
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:09,800
things.
500
00:27:10,120 --> 00:27:14,400
Now, after a long career, this wily
veteran is calling time.
501
00:27:14,740 --> 00:27:19,480
After 40 years, I'm retiring and
everything's got to go. And when you
502
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,460
look round, there's a heck of a lot.
We've sold quite a bit already, but it's
503
00:27:23,460 --> 00:27:25,160
still a lot to get rid of.
504
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,460
So is it like full stock liquidation?
From what I've heard, yeah.
505
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:31,880
Ooh.
506
00:27:32,170 --> 00:27:33,990
It should be. It should just be.
507
00:27:35,670 --> 00:27:39,850
I'm hoping it's a good day for smalls.
508
00:27:40,450 --> 00:27:43,550
Yes. But not pricey smalls as well. Oh,
no, no, no.
509
00:27:44,650 --> 00:27:46,190
Cheap smalls, high turnover.
510
00:27:47,550 --> 00:27:52,370
Do you know, interesting fact, monkeys
eat the bananas from the other end. They
511
00:27:52,370 --> 00:27:53,970
do. And they use that to hold it. They
do.
512
00:27:54,290 --> 00:27:56,230
Are you going to do it like a monkey
does? No, I'm not.
513
00:27:57,930 --> 00:28:00,950
God's sake, how do you drop a banana on
yourself?
514
00:28:01,660 --> 00:28:03,380
You're a proper messy eater.
515
00:28:03,620 --> 00:28:04,620
I'm not.
516
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Right, try not to undermine me. I won't
undermine you.
517
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:13,800
You know I'm an idiot, he doesn't.
518
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:15,840
I'm an idiot savant.
519
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,720
Get some deals, don't bid over.
520
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,880
Idiot savant. Do not tell me about my...
I'm joking.
521
00:28:22,620 --> 00:28:24,240
I knew that I'd annoy you.
522
00:28:25,100 --> 00:28:28,420
Already, I have spotted... I've seen
loads of things already.
523
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,640
There's lots of smalls here. So can I do
this one? Yeah, go on.
524
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,380
Oh, yeah, I'm going to have a mooch.
525
00:28:40,540 --> 00:28:41,540
John?
526
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,440
How are you doing, pal?
527
00:28:44,660 --> 00:28:46,340
Not bad, not bad. Good to meet you.
528
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:47,980
Wow, you've got stuff.
529
00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:49,560
You haven't seen it out yet.
530
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,100
What got you started and when did it
become...? Me and my wife, we hadn't
531
00:28:53,100 --> 00:28:55,780
been going out right long, we were
bored, and we went to a car boat sale
532
00:28:55,780 --> 00:28:58,540
and she stood lucky, she bought some
jewellery.
533
00:28:59,500 --> 00:29:03,280
And that was it. We'd made more money on
that when we did working on his jobs and
534
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,280
we were off and running.
535
00:29:04,340 --> 00:29:08,000
Do you know what I love? You never meet
a collector who isn't full of stories.
536
00:29:08,340 --> 00:29:12,180
Yeah. So what are you going to go for?
Are you going up market, down market?
537
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,400
Are you going to build?
538
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,420
I'm very open-minded. I have that firm
belief if I like it, I hope somebody
539
00:29:18,420 --> 00:29:20,800
else will like it too. It's a good way
to start.
540
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,060
I'm hoping today will be good for smalls
and for walkouts.
541
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,960
You know what I mean? Let's do small in
here, looking round, all sorts of bits
542
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,420
and pieces. We'll keep you interested.
543
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,140
I can spend the week in here. There's so
much stuff. I'm just going to make a
544
00:29:33,140 --> 00:29:34,500
start from one end to the other.
545
00:29:35,540 --> 00:29:36,780
I'll see you in about two hours.
546
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:38,800
Cheers, John.
547
00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:46,290
That's a beast.
548
00:29:54,890 --> 00:29:56,610
There's so much stuff here.
549
00:29:57,070 --> 00:29:58,070
So much.
550
00:29:58,530 --> 00:30:01,730
Do you like all these old vintage
suitcases? They go well.
551
00:30:02,170 --> 00:30:03,530
There's everything here.
552
00:30:03,790 --> 00:30:04,790
Oh my god.
553
00:30:11,290 --> 00:30:13,250
God, there's row after row after.
554
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:20,280
It's funny at home, plus it doesn't
bother me, but suddenly I feel very,
555
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,380
very unknowledgeable.
556
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:26,000
If I was to give anybody advice like
Johnny starting out in this business,
557
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:31,000
I'd say, trust your gut, trust your
instinct, and it'll earn you money.
558
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:33,700
Every item of fibre.
559
00:30:33,940 --> 00:30:36,980
Now, is that a good thing, or is there a
reason why every item is a fibre?
560
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:39,840
Oh, no.
561
00:30:40,180 --> 00:30:41,440
It's a fair ground prize.
562
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,100
I'm asking the bed to put out the light.
563
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,960
Look, they've got full onesies on with a
candle at the end of it.
564
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:49,300
It's very naive.
565
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,260
Well, it's naive because it was a prize
because they were made dirt cheap.
566
00:30:53,500 --> 00:30:56,640
Sometimes they've got more to them.
567
00:30:57,100 --> 00:30:58,100
That's a five.
568
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,040
Yeah, I'm going to keep that.
569
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:08,680
I'm honestly genuinely just overwhelmed
and I do
570
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,720
not know and I've got to hold my hands
up.
571
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:15,250
I don't know what's tat and what's any
good. I know I've come here for smalls,
572
00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:20,590
but I could just quite easily, and it's
no fun at all, I could end up buying
573
00:31:20,590 --> 00:31:22,630
just a tall load of rubbish.
574
00:31:25,570 --> 00:31:26,670
Oh, I can't move.
575
00:31:28,450 --> 00:31:30,270
That just could be genius.
576
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:33,690
That, I'm having that.
577
00:31:34,990 --> 00:31:35,990
Is that real?
578
00:31:38,510 --> 00:31:41,050
That little... That sign round there,
the cheerio.
579
00:31:41,330 --> 00:31:42,590
Yes. That's genuine.
580
00:31:42,790 --> 00:31:44,910
It's not been mocked up or... No, it's
genuine.
581
00:31:45,210 --> 00:31:46,210
You promised me that.
582
00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:47,730
It's genuine, absolutely genuine.
583
00:31:47,910 --> 00:31:51,590
I'm paying for your... It's a genuine...
Where did you get that?
584
00:31:51,970 --> 00:31:58,490
That came many years ago in the corn
exchange in Leeds. They had a shop that
585
00:31:58,490 --> 00:32:00,850
was set up just as a chemist. That's
fabulous.
586
00:32:01,650 --> 00:32:05,710
That's almost... I had to ask, it's
almost too good to be true.
587
00:32:06,390 --> 00:32:07,610
I like that.
588
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,940
All the classic baby foods.
589
00:32:10,140 --> 00:32:14,760
These are definitely not. They're not
fake. They're genuine. The original
590
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,760
counter displays.
591
00:32:16,620 --> 00:32:18,520
Bone and vegetable broth.
592
00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:19,960
Nestle's baby foods.
593
00:32:20,260 --> 00:32:20,959
It's nice.
594
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:21,960
It's another nice piece.
595
00:32:33,100 --> 00:32:36,740
Is this a device to show you how to lift
something properly?
596
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,900
Lift with the knees and not the back.
597
00:32:42,660 --> 00:32:45,160
This is just fun.
598
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,200
I've got to have this.
599
00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:56,960
Hello.
600
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:58,800
Look at him.
601
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:00,660
Hello, you spiv.
602
00:33:00,980 --> 00:33:02,360
What's the story with this guy?
603
00:33:02,730 --> 00:33:04,330
It's my great-grandad. Get lost.
604
00:33:04,770 --> 00:33:06,110
Yes, he was a music host there.
605
00:33:06,610 --> 00:33:09,630
You are joking. Who painted that thing?
My grandad.
606
00:33:09,850 --> 00:33:14,590
Oh, it's not for sale then, is it? His
father, Herbert, worked for the music
607
00:33:14,590 --> 00:33:16,230
halls around Blackpool and all that sort
of area.
608
00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:17,770
He was on the music hall circuit.
609
00:33:18,210 --> 00:33:21,630
That's absolutely... So he was quite the
artist then?
610
00:33:22,010 --> 00:33:24,430
My grandad, he was a footballer, to be
honest.
611
00:33:24,650 --> 00:33:25,369
Was he?
612
00:33:25,370 --> 00:33:28,830
He played for Burnley and then he ended
up being a policeman during the Second
613
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:29,529
World War.
614
00:33:29,530 --> 00:33:35,040
God! I thought it was an advertising
piece. No, it's done by Harold, my
615
00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:36,840
grandad. I think you're fantastic.
616
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,980
I really wanted a guy. I want him to
adopt me.
617
00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:43,700
I wish he'd, like, took me on for an
apprenticeship years ago. I'd have come
618
00:33:43,700 --> 00:33:44,700
and worked for him for now.
619
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,520
Quite liking these.
620
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,840
Whenever I've seen a lizard without a
tail, I've gone, how did that happen?
621
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:56,960
Now I know.
622
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,200
That rat's going, I want my money
Tuesday.
623
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:01,060
Or else he'll lose a foot.
624
00:34:02,740 --> 00:34:05,220
Where did you get these posters from,
John?
625
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,820
School. They're all school posters. That
was in the school?
626
00:34:08,860 --> 00:34:12,900
Yeah. Oh, these are... They weren't
framing up, really.
627
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:14,138
Oh, aye.
628
00:34:14,139 --> 00:34:15,960
And then you can go for a decent amount.
629
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,320
Oh, John, these are fabulous, mate.
630
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:25,699
I hope I just keep a girl about.
631
00:34:26,540 --> 00:34:28,560
They're a piece of social history,
really.
632
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:33,139
It was just... It was just... The end of
a long day.
633
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,380
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
634
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,400
Finally, there's posters that match how
my head works.
635
00:34:44,500 --> 00:34:45,500
Moo!
636
00:34:46,820 --> 00:34:47,820
Oh,
637
00:34:48,659 --> 00:34:49,659
fabulous.
638
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:55,100
There's too many for me to take all of
them, mate, but I certainly do want
639
00:34:55,100 --> 00:34:56,100
quite a few of them.
640
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:57,520
Jolly good.
641
00:34:58,300 --> 00:34:59,300
Good man.
642
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:04,640
But with Johnny yet to do any deals,
will the Swiss Cottage prices be as
643
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:05,640
friendly as the owner?
644
00:35:12,980 --> 00:35:18,160
In Yorkshire, Johnny's hunting for small
bargains at the Swiss Cottage Antique
645
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,400
Emporium, which is soon to be closing
down.
646
00:35:20,980 --> 00:35:24,320
An antique type from the 1920s. Yeah,
it's a reaper.
647
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,560
It's a shame.
648
00:35:26,030 --> 00:35:30,910
He and owner John have been getting on
famously, but now it's time to do some
649
00:35:30,910 --> 00:35:31,910
deals.
650
00:35:32,130 --> 00:35:34,210
Right, shall we start talking?
651
00:35:34,970 --> 00:35:37,770
Note you're doing them, because they're
just a five in each, aren't they? Yeah.
652
00:35:37,830 --> 00:35:39,590
They're done. I love that.
653
00:35:39,870 --> 00:35:41,570
They were brilliant, weren't they? Yeah.
654
00:35:42,670 --> 00:35:47,970
These Victorian-era ceramic pieces were
made to be given out at fairs as prizes.
655
00:35:48,310 --> 00:35:53,110
They were produced mainly in Germany
from the mid to late 19th century until
656
00:35:53,110 --> 00:35:54,110
the First World War.
657
00:35:56,660 --> 00:36:01,000
Absolutely no secret of the fact I love
the posters.
658
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,640
It's one of the items that I'm going, is
it just me?
659
00:36:04,460 --> 00:36:07,780
Will other folk like them and what will
I make about once I've framed them?
660
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,040
Because I think they need framing up and
presenting.
661
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:13,820
How many are you wanting? There's 11
there. I'd say there'll be at least
662
00:36:13,820 --> 00:36:17,320
another nine by the time I've gone
through them all. 20. So at five rupees,
663
00:36:17,540 --> 00:36:19,420
20 would be 100 quid.
664
00:36:21,380 --> 00:36:22,460
75 quid.
665
00:36:28,190 --> 00:36:30,270
What were we saying on these now?
666
00:36:30,510 --> 00:36:31,710
They're 30 and 35.
667
00:36:32,170 --> 00:36:35,290
Do you know what? You've done me a
better deal on them. I'll pay you that.
668
00:36:35,330 --> 00:36:36,870
Right. That's done, yeah.
669
00:36:40,450 --> 00:36:44,610
Now this piece. So it's a workplace tool
to show you how to lift with your knees.
670
00:36:44,890 --> 00:36:47,410
Right, where did you get that from,
John? Leeds University.
671
00:36:47,930 --> 00:36:50,870
Wow. On one of their storerooms when I
cleared it many years ago.
672
00:36:51,190 --> 00:36:54,010
It's one of them talking pieces. People
are going to come in. They're going to
673
00:36:54,010 --> 00:36:55,490
have a bit of fun with it.
674
00:36:56,190 --> 00:36:59,210
I don't know, have you found a place now
that you don't want to sell it? No, I'll
675
00:36:59,210 --> 00:37:00,209
sell you it.
676
00:37:00,210 --> 00:37:02,230
Yeah, 25 quid.
677
00:37:04,190 --> 00:37:05,750
Couldn't shake your hand quick enough.
678
00:37:09,550 --> 00:37:12,950
You've done, you've proper done right by
me. Thank you, mate. Yeah, I hope you do
679
00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:13,950
well.
680
00:37:14,190 --> 00:37:15,190
Well, so do I.
681
00:37:15,430 --> 00:37:16,890
Yeah, it's been a very successful day.
682
00:37:17,230 --> 00:37:18,078
Bought well.
683
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,680
Met the most fantastic guy.
684
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:21,300
He's given me really good prices.
685
00:37:21,860 --> 00:37:24,880
You know what? It's been a really
important buying trip.
686
00:37:25,300 --> 00:37:28,520
Found stuff I could never have guessed,
and I'm up for Sundays.
687
00:37:28,740 --> 00:37:32,980
So we're building up stock, but it's the
right kind of stock, and we've not got
688
00:37:32,980 --> 00:37:35,940
thousands of pounds worth of stock
sitting idle.
689
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:46,600
After a 90-minute drive across the
Pennines...
690
00:37:47,020 --> 00:37:52,020
Johnny and Bev are back from Swiss
Cottage, ready to price up and get their
691
00:37:52,020 --> 00:37:53,300
new items out for sale.
692
00:37:53,580 --> 00:37:54,860
This was a fun pick.
693
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,240
If I lose on that, I don't bother. It's
character for the shop, but I paid £65
694
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:00,999
for the pair.
695
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:06,200
I don't know if the charity will take
some money back, but this one is £32.50.
696
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,000
Put £45 on that, it's a winner.
697
00:38:09,900 --> 00:38:11,100
£25 for this.
698
00:38:14,140 --> 00:38:15,140
Sells itself.
699
00:38:15,900 --> 00:38:20,420
£25, I'm going to ask £75 each.
700
00:38:20,700 --> 00:38:23,720
I want £20 out of them, and I'm not
taking less than £20.
701
00:38:24,940 --> 00:38:27,680
The school educational posters.
702
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,900
I paid £75 for 20 pictures.
703
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:34,940
Best £75 I've ever spent.
704
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,440
I will price them on how much they make
me laugh, genuinely.
705
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,700
Though overall, Johnny and Bev's Swiss
cottage trip has more than paid for the
706
00:38:44,700 --> 00:38:48,210
petrol. with Johnny upbeat about what he
could potentially make.
707
00:38:48,690 --> 00:38:53,750
For his kinetic lifting model, a sale
would see a potential £45 profit.
708
00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:59,350
With the fairground prizes, Johnny's
hoping to make £15 on each one sold.
709
00:39:00,170 --> 00:39:04,690
For his pair of advertising posters,
he's rounding up to £45 each.
710
00:39:05,110 --> 00:39:09,110
And finally, having bought the
educational posters as a job lot,
711
00:39:09,370 --> 00:39:11,970
Johnny's decided to price each one
individually.
712
00:39:12,620 --> 00:39:14,840
based on their condition and level of
interest.
713
00:39:19,860 --> 00:39:21,960
Well, let's get out and see how I can
open up.
714
00:39:24,160 --> 00:39:26,380
A few people waiting already.
715
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:28,960
Hello.
716
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:34,120
Feel free to move. Ask on the price.
I'll be honest with you.
717
00:39:40,460 --> 00:39:41,460
Everything's for sale.
718
00:39:45,420 --> 00:39:46,420
Oh, cash for you.
719
00:39:46,780 --> 00:39:47,780
Thank you.
720
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:49,000
How much is that?
721
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,220
Two, that's 15.
722
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:52,840
Oh, beautiful, I like that.
723
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:57,400
Pleasure. I think 25.
724
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:58,880
That's a two.
725
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,340
Anything you like?
726
00:40:05,740 --> 00:40:07,600
We just have a question about this.
727
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:11,740
We don't think we can afford it, but we
feel like we'd really like to ask you
728
00:40:11,740 --> 00:40:12,509
about it.
729
00:40:12,510 --> 00:40:13,328
It's original.
730
00:40:13,330 --> 00:40:14,330
It's genuine.
731
00:40:14,370 --> 00:40:18,190
When you're saying you can't afford it,
unless it's something really insulting
732
00:40:18,190 --> 00:40:20,090
as a price, you might surprise yourself.
733
00:40:21,530 --> 00:40:25,430
What do you think? What would you like
to pay? And I'll be just dead straight
734
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:29,130
up with you with what I'm looking for
off it. We won't offend each other. OK.
735
00:40:29,330 --> 00:40:34,290
We've never asked anybody before in our
lives how much a fairground original
736
00:40:34,290 --> 00:40:38,530
horse is. We have absolutely no idea. We
want it for the living room. That's been
737
00:40:38,530 --> 00:40:40,350
ridden. It's been played on.
738
00:40:40,750 --> 00:40:43,490
And you get a lot of the foregrounds now
of the families.
739
00:40:43,730 --> 00:40:47,170
It wasn't made by a grandmaster, that
one. It would have been a family, and
740
00:40:47,170 --> 00:40:50,050
the grandad would have cut all that out,
done it.
741
00:40:50,410 --> 00:40:52,290
Another member of the family would have
painted it.
742
00:40:52,750 --> 00:40:54,370
I had, like, 240 on it.
743
00:40:54,830 --> 00:40:55,769
That's authentic.
744
00:40:55,770 --> 00:41:00,890
And the only reason, I'll be honest with
you, I can do 240 is the lad sold me a
745
00:41:00,890 --> 00:41:04,890
couple of other things, and he did me a
really nice number on it.
746
00:41:05,270 --> 00:41:06,290
Is that the lowest?
747
00:41:06,930 --> 00:41:08,550
Yeah, I've got to be.
748
00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:11,640
A little bit strict on it, because it
will go.
749
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:16,500
If I'm honest, we had a kind of what we
would pay was two, but we thought it
750
00:41:16,500 --> 00:41:20,300
would be a lot higher. That was where we
kind of pitched it. That's why we were a
751
00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:21,300
bit scared to ask.
752
00:41:21,340 --> 00:41:23,380
Two forties, it's a good price.
753
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:25,360
I know, you're right. I promise you.
754
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:29,100
Why don't you go and have an ice cream?
Have a think on it.
755
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:30,320
Okay.
756
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:33,260
I think they'll be back.
757
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:38,400
Can I squeeze past you? Sorry to be a
nuisance.
758
00:41:40,230 --> 00:41:41,230
Thank you, young man.
759
00:41:43,990 --> 00:41:46,550
There we go. I've brought your beauty
back.
760
00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:48,670
Taste through stored.
761
00:41:49,910 --> 00:41:51,030
Oh, man, that's mint.
762
00:41:51,290 --> 00:41:54,470
I've taken all the grime off the
handlebars, and it should be ready to
763
00:41:54,470 --> 00:41:57,430
go. No, you've done it perfect. It's not
overdone, you know what I mean?
764
00:41:57,890 --> 00:42:01,570
There's not another one up for sale in
England at the moment, and the cheapest
765
00:42:01,570 --> 00:42:04,530
one is £195 just as a plain chair.
766
00:42:05,890 --> 00:42:09,410
As in plain, what, missing the wheels,
missing the...? Yep.
767
00:42:09,950 --> 00:42:12,570
Just as a plain child's barber seat.
768
00:42:12,830 --> 00:42:13,830
You're joking.
769
00:42:14,050 --> 00:42:15,210
So you've done all right.
770
00:42:15,690 --> 00:42:19,310
Oh, you've turned that frown upside down
with that, haven't you?
771
00:42:19,630 --> 00:42:24,070
He was gutted, didn't you? Really was.
Dave, that's fab. I loved it. I really
772
00:42:24,070 --> 00:42:26,390
liked it. I was... Yeah.
773
00:42:26,730 --> 00:42:29,170
You were a bit... You were really
downhearted when you opened it up,
774
00:42:29,210 --> 00:42:31,030
didn't you? You've done it absolutely
perfect.
775
00:42:31,310 --> 00:42:33,470
Oh, Dave. Cheers, mate. Oh, we've got
the best neighbour.
776
00:42:33,730 --> 00:42:35,130
You're welcome. Thanks for that.
777
00:42:35,650 --> 00:42:36,609
See you later.
778
00:42:36,610 --> 00:42:37,448
Thanks, guys.
779
00:42:37,450 --> 00:42:38,450
Cheers, Dave.
780
00:42:44,420 --> 00:42:45,420
You're back.
781
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:46,640
We're back.
782
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,840
You knew we would. I take it you're back
because you're back for Secretary.
783
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:55,360
We just know we're going to do another
one again and it's like fate that we
784
00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:59,120
came out today and saw it. We got to the
car, we shook hands on the deal and we
785
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:00,120
just cut it.
786
00:43:00,700 --> 00:43:03,120
I can promise you 240's great on that.
787
00:43:03,660 --> 00:43:04,598
We agree.
788
00:43:04,600 --> 00:43:07,860
I'm glad it's going with you because I
can see you going, you're loving it more
789
00:43:07,860 --> 00:43:10,820
and more every time you're looking at
it. It's just brilliant.
790
00:43:11,340 --> 00:43:14,020
Thank you. Thank you for buying it. I
thought we could buy it.
791
00:43:15,020 --> 00:43:16,020
Cheers, mate.
792
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,040
Thank you. Thank you very much.
793
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:26,140
Cheers, mate. Thank you very much. Thank
you.
794
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:36,040
That was good, eh?
795
00:43:36,750 --> 00:43:37,750
They're going away.
796
00:43:37,810 --> 00:43:40,910
You get the sense they're going to be
repeat customers. People are going to
797
00:43:40,910 --> 00:43:42,910
ask them where they got it. They got it
from here.
798
00:43:43,230 --> 00:43:47,730
So it's like the best free advert you
can be passing on. I had a profit.
799
00:43:48,290 --> 00:43:49,530
I haven't lost money.
800
00:43:49,910 --> 00:43:50,910
What a great day.
801
00:43:53,550 --> 00:43:57,030
And every sale is a confirmation that
you belong.
802
00:43:57,410 --> 00:43:58,410
And it got up.
