This time.

God, don't let the first customer walk in now.

Brand opening.

I honestly don't think I've ever felt so vulnerable.

Missed target.

You've not. I've done it. And a love affair with a chair.

That is absolutely fantastic.

Did I die like that?

This is like a rookie error.

To millions, Johnny Vegas is known as an award-winning stand-up comedian.

Good evening, British.

Much loved actor. I've got no range, but distinctive is what I do.

And celebrated artist.

But he's also a collector of vintage.

The odd. This was once the pilot of a flying badger. And the extraordinary.

Why I bought this and what I paid for it, I'm taking the fee.

Now after years of dreaming, he's turning his hobby into a business.

Oh wow, it's massive.

By opening his very own vintage and collectible shop.

Oh, now we feel real.

So with the help of lifelong friend and assistant Bev.

Well done.

He's finally parting with some of his collection.

I'm really attached to it. And hitting the road.

God, we look like swingers.

In search of hidden treasures to stock the shop.

Buying low.

30 quid.

No, not 60. Just go for 70.

Are there any other monstrosities in purchase?

In the hopes of selling high. 200 quid.

Deal done.

I like it.

But as a first-time dealer, has Johnny got what it takes?

Auctions are not a good place for Johnny.

Spank double the budget.

You don't trust me, do you? No.

It's been a tough week.

To turn his lifelong passion... Here we go.

Into the business of his dreams.

Do you know what I'm doing?

It's opening day at Vintage Vegas.

The culmination of a lifetime of collecting, weeks of planning and

construction.

Oh, it's exciting.

I can't be excited.

It's like that tunnel at the end of your life.

Is this all I've done with my life?

That needs to be upright.

Oh, have you got some tweaking to do?

With only two buying tricks under his belt, the shop has been mostly stocked

with items from Johnny's own personal collection.

That's going in the back.

OK.

I've been on stage.

And I've died.

I've done comedy gigs.

I honestly don't think I've ever felt so vulnerable.

It could be absolutely soul-destroying if everybody's come in to have a look

and not left with anything.

I'm just really worried about what people are going to make of it.

God, don't let the first customer walk in now.

Is she going?

Well, she can't lie under a table. OK.

I'm not nervous.

Opening day and he's a bag of nerves.

He really is.

I think there might have to be a point where I just open that door and let

people in because it was up to Johnny. It would still be closed at five o

'clock. You want to open your shop?

And so, after last minute tinkering and two hours later than anticipated, Johnny

finally opens for business.

We're open!

Ha ha ha!

But opening up is one thing, getting customers through the door is another.

Right.

Oh, there's some people. There's some people.

Hello. Have a look round.

Ask questions. Ask a price or give us a price. You won't offend us.

You alright?

Feel free to browse, any questions on anything?

With the shop filling up, there's no more space for nerves.

It's time for Johnny Vegas to turn shopkeeper.

One of the first items to get noticed are the racing courses from Johnny's

lock-up.

They're off a cruise ship from the 50s and it was a deck game and you picked

possibly the most complete one.

They are antiques, so they're 60 each.

That's them being used.

And that's what sold that to me, was going, wow.

And the condition it's still in after all those years.

If you're into horses and you're into cruises, it's a bit of a no-brainer.

But he has to be 60, because he's got all four legs, he's got his tail, and I

can't go any lower than that. I'm sorry.

Honestly, that's...

I think for the back story, for everything, it's not a bad... Honestly,

I am not beating you up on that.

It's worth that all day long. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

When the Grand National's on, I'll get it out and I'll be thinking about you,

Johnny. You know you've got a back number four every year. Yeah, a back

number four, yeah.

It made me feel so... It was not as painful as I thought it might be.

I'm happier, I'm feeling far better than I thought I would.

I'm a dealer.

Get me.

Hoid by his first sales, Johnny hits the shop floor and gets to work selling his

collection to his new customers.

20 quid for the per.

20 pounds it is. 20 pounds.

I'm actually selling.

I'm in salesman mode. 60 on that would do it. All my stuff is really great.

But it's going and it's selling.

Pleasure. What a joke.

Thanks, Quinn.

Happy with that? Good for a first day, isn't it?

Well done.

The first day has been really great. Couldn't have gone any better.

It would have been absolutely devastating. We'd have shut the door at

five and had no sales. But all the customers have been really complimentary

about the shop and the stuff that he's selling.

And, yeah, there's been quite a lot of sales.

I'm really happy.

I'm tired, but I'm really happy. It didn't kill me letting stuff go.

That's the best bit. That's the one bit that makes me feel like I might just

stand a chance at being more than a fanboy.

And I'm inspired to go out and get better at this.

With the shop now closed for the day, having met the public, Johnny is keen to

meet his neighbours.

Dagfield is host to over 200 different dealers and workshops with a tight-knit

community that Johnny is keen to become part of.

Come on in.

Hello.

Now that's my breakfast.

I was going to say, I thought this young man was the proprietor.

Hiya mate, Johnny.

Hi, I'm Dave. Hiya Dave.

I'm the bloke next door.

The new arrival. The new neighbour.

How's it going? Hello.

I've seen your telly. Have you?

I'm Baird.

Johnny. This is Dave, but I'm guessing you've already met him.

Yeah.

Do you do campers? We do. Do all kinds of campers. I have a bit of history with

campers. I'm doing collecting and selling stuff that I've gathered over

the years. It's an eclectic mix of stuff, so there's no...

firm plan other than things I like.

Will it work commercially? Do you like any of Dave's stuff? He's got a lot of

stuff. Do you like stuff?

And you're handy.

Nothing can be made that I can't fix. It's good to know. He is useful to have

around. If you need someone to fix something, I love that. Not in a

relationship.

He's useful.

He's useful.

Not wonderful to have around.

He's useful.

But if you can mend stuff, we might have a future together, you know. Just bring

it round, I'll sort it for you. You sure?

Yeah. Fantastic.

Yeah? Could be the start of something, a wonderful, a beautiful relationship,

couldn't it? Hi.

Hello.

Should I open a shop?

I've got Baba.

Again, what my financial advisor said.

Love forward to seeing you.

Love to have you.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Making friends already, it's always nice.

I've always thought of having a shop as being a solo venture, but then you do

suddenly realise you know that much, and as you're learning more and more,

there's a kind of specialist for everything, and having access to all

that, where you can just reach out, or it's a 10-yard walk away, is obviously

hugely beneficial.

It looks big, this place, Johnny. There's a lot more stuff, and a lot more

stuff doesn't necessarily mean loads of great stuff. But I've been in some like

this, and 90% of it is house clearances, and it's not the best stuff from the

houses.

Sometimes these can be either hit and miss or an absolute goldmine. Little

goldmine place.

And your kid in a candy shop, you just don't know where to look.

On a mission to restock their shop with small, saleable items...

Johnny and Bev are heading for the Weaving Shed in Cullingworth, Yorkshire.

At this four-storey antique mega-emporium, they will be doing

business with Roy Mason.

I'm one of the four dealers here at the Weaving Shed, and I've been in the

business for five years.

You've not.

Not a half an egg, but a fellow.

Oh, God.

Nothing, Nora.

Nothing says I'm in business like a massive egg stain on your teeth.

God, it's huge.

I'm going to mooch off and leave you. Right.

I like them because they've not been touched.

I don't like them restored.

That door is beautiful.

I'm not even through. I'm not.

No pun intended. I'm not even through the doors.

I'm looking at doors.

Roy. Johnny.

You all right, mate? I'm all right. Nice to meet you. So this is your spot. This

is your... Yep, this is all mine. I'm round there as well, yep. Can I go and

have a wander?

You certainly can, and hopefully you'll find something that interests you.

You can remove the hopefully out of that.

Ooh.

Yeah. West German.

I like him.

Oh, that's nice too.

It is. And you know what? When I got it, it was in a real state. It was filthy.

Probably haven't seen the light of day for the last 20 years.

If you like your industrial type of thing, it's an absolute solid table or

deck. I love it.

What's the age on the lamp? Is that new to...

No, it's the Scrumble angle poise.

I've never seen it without a finish on it. Yeah, it's the original finish.

And that's called Scrumble? Scrumble, yeah.

It's just the Scrumble paint. You see it on furniture as well.

Right.

What I'm struggling with here is the larger buys are really reasonably

priced. The smalls are more than what I want a pair.

I'll have to get the price down on everything.

This is not a shop for dealers, I would say.

So how do you convince them to get it down to a price to make it worth your

while? Because you are fundamentally saying to them, I want your profit

margin.

Back at the weaving shed in Yorkshire, while Johnny Vegas searches for more

items he thinks he can get a deal on... That's a nice little... Bev's keeping

herself entertained.

I'm the chopper.

I might need the seat lower. Oh, God.

I don't know if they were made for comfort in the 70s.

Oh, it's not comfort.

I might need some Vaseline.

Like I say, I love the fairground stuff.

Kicks in all your horses and I'm going, are you buying for the shop?

They're all original, the horses.

Yeah, I know, you can tell. They were at a fairground in Ripon, which isn't too

far away from here. I just like the... the artwork on them as well. And I think

once you get something that's original, they've all been hand-painted, haven't

they?

So this is a barber chair.

Yep, so... That is absolutely fantastic.

What's the age on that? Because that looks relatively... The Italian barber's

shop chair.

Obviously for kids.

You think again, how many kids will have sat in that over the years, having a

shop back inside?

That is absolutely... It's fantastic, isn't it?

It's in good nick from that era, isn't it? It is in good nick, yep.

The wheels go round as well.

I think that's fantastic. That's my favourite thing I've seen so far, that.

As a talking point, something in the shop that just sets you apart, I have

never seen one. I will never see another one in my life.

This.

This is phenomenal.

Johnny now knows what he likes, but can he get it for the price he wants?

Starting with the engineering desk, priced at £165.

and the accompanying chair, on for £135.

You give me a price that you think you'd be comfortable with.

I won't start low, don't want to offend you.

Right, I'm a plain-speaking Yorkshireman, I like to deal with

simple. Well, I think, I hope, I'm doing forever, taking both at once at £250.

I like that bet, £250.

Sal?

This 1950s machinist table and chair.

was purpose-built for mill workers in Keeley, West Yorkshire.

I'm thrilled.

The desk and chair is not enough often for me to make some of them.

Next item on the agenda, the Charles Italian barber chair, on sale for £225.

That chair.

If I can get £175, that would be amazing. I won't get that. If I can get

£200, who knows, I'll like it.

I think £200 would be a fair price.

I just can't leave this.

It's lovely, isn't it?

It's a one-off piece.

225 on it.

You told me the price on that one.

I'll give you a one-off price because I paid quite heavily for it because I've

not seen it.

But I've had it a while, so I'm prepared to take a little bit of a hit on it.

185.

That's only a ten over the cheeky bid I was going to offer.

Thank you very much.

This sets you apart.

You have not got a generic collectible shelf.

You've got one-offs.

Next up, the angle poise lamp, priced at £125.

I do love that.

Yep.

But I have kind of spent up on the other stuff. Yeah, I get that. It is lovely.

It's in great condition.

It's fabulous.

Yeah. It's got the, you know what I mean? I know the raised base.

Yeah. The ones, it's the three yard echo, but that is. Yeah. And they hold

the value as well, Johnny.

I said I've spent my money on that. How

much?

It'd have to be a straight one.

Yeah.

There you go.

was manufactured by Herbert Terry and Sons in Worcestershire in 1935.

It rose to popularity during the war as an ideal blackout lamp that could direct

light away from windows.

I'm dead happy with what I've got.

Yep, no, you're happy. I am more than happy.

But Roy has got one last offer to throw Johnny's way.

A small matter of a £250 fairground hose.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

Because you're starting out in business, and I always like to think, as a fellow

dealer, you've got to give them a bit of a gift at some point.

I will do that for you for what I paid for it, and that's £130.

Found in fairgrounds from the Victorian era through to the 1970s...

This late 1950s model was scratch-made on site as a fairground in North

Yorkshire. And I'm happy to do that because I think... That's an absolute

thank you. At the start of it, it's about building these relationships,

getting something going.

You're a gentleman.

Thank you. Right, well, best start packing up, aren't we?

Tell me that's not cool.

Oh, I love it.

Oh, that is fantastic.

That was Roy's gift to me. Was it?

Have a guess how much.

Paper 150?

130. Oh.

So it's just a lamp now, then?

The lamp?

The lamp.

Haven't you bought a lamp?

I don't think so.

Oh. What is this lamp you speak of? I don't know. I thought they just said

anything else and they just said maybe a lamp.

An angle-poised lamp?

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

If you're going to ever hope to make a profit in this game, stock control.

Do I own a lamp?

I've no recollection of buying a lamp.

How dare you accuse me of... Oh, that one, yeah.

It's so nice in there, though, Johnny, isn't it? All those stuff.

Yeah. The barber's church.

You know what I mean? Another great concert.

Great. Really good advice. Really eye-to-eye.

Starting to feel like a dangle. Oh, I was just going to say, you're making all

your little names. It's like the second me on the... Yeah, yeah.

Johnny found his tribe.

Johnny returned to the shop.

Feeling like a bona fide dealer.

Hello, my beauty.

What's that?

What was that?

It's one of my... Did I buy it like that?

I think so.

What, with tape on it?

I'm not sure. I just loaded it in the van. I didn't sort of inspect it. Why?

What's up? What's it got on? It's just gaffer tape.

I don't think I'd have bought it without it with tape on it. That's quite...

This is like a

rookie error.

Is it really bad?

It's just that all the value's gone out of it.

It's probably why.

And he's a decent trader, so I'm not going to go with him.

It's my fault for not seeing it.

And he did us really good on Judgmental Horse there.

He's now looking at me going, well, you didn't check it. It's on the table.

Shall we go and get John?

Yeah. Just come in and have a look. Yeah.

With Johnny at the loss.

Fellow trader and neighbour, antique dealer John Eggleton, is on hand to put

a value on the haul, including the broken chair.

Johnny, how's it going, mate?

Thank you, mate.

What's the problem?

I didn't check. It was taped at the front. I got very excited. I know it

wasn't the best example of these, but you know the barber's chairs? Yeah,

yeah, yeah.

Charles Barber's chair. Yeah, but it... I thought it had survived.

So how much are you in that for?

Go for 185.

Okay.

I think a lot of the money's already in it.

I think as well.

It's just going out buying, I think a little bit of overconfidence.

Yeah. That's got to go at either a bit of a loss to be brutal or a very, very

small profit. It's a great learning piece in two ways.

One, price you're paying, and two, always look for damage, and if it's

going to cost money, it's got to go to one side.

It's a lesson learned.

Move on from that.

It's done. It's dusted. Move on to this. I think what we need to do here, clean

it, because look at this here. It's got great crackling.

The covers will bounce when it's... It'll pop.

What would you put it out of?

Be honest.

You're beyond hurting my feelings now.

Probably 230 on it, 240.

Yeah, that would be my high point on that.

No, he did 130.

Oh, that's fine.

With a potential profit of £110 on the rocking horse, offsetting his loss on

the barber chair,

Johnny's hoping the rest of his buys make the grade.

The desk, the chair as well. So you've got the chair with you as well. So for

this and this?

I would ask...

Hi, that's 450 for the per.

I know you're going to say maybe 380 or 350.

No, I'm going to say five.

Really? 250, 250.

You made me do it.

And this, I've just, I've never seen that finish.

No, it's a real good, yeah, yeah, yeah. I actually, I've never seen one in that

colour, and it doesn't look like somebody's done an amateur, or is it?

Has somebody just had a go at it? That's cool. Better bulb in there. Oh, yeah,

yeah. You know.

Yeah,

I like that one.

I paid 100.

I don't know, 80 is what you're possibly thinking.

No, absolutely not, no.

I was thinking 180, 190 on that one. Seriously?

Absolutely. It's got a great look to it.

I'd have that out at 180. I know that'd go quick, without a doubt.

The desk, I'm saying that's the best sort of bundle or presentation piece so

far.

I'm really happy with the lamp. So it's original, it's good, it's all correct.

It suits that.

It's a really good size.

Lovely. The barber's chair, I do nobody's fault but my own.

Bit embarrassed.

So I'm going to put it in the back just for now and I'm going to decide whether

to repair it or not.

There's no point putting something out, clinging onto it for dear life, if it's

going to detract from the look of the shop.

If it's a mistake, it's a mistake.

Own it, keep it, put it in the back, and let it serve as a reminder what to buy

and what not to buy in future.

Johnny's got the barber chair out of the van, the little kids one, and he

absolutely loved it when he bought it. And part of it's broken.

The plastic was sort of like sellotaped together.

He's gutted.

He's gutted because he loved it. I think he really thought he had a really,

really nice piece.

Hello, young man. How you doing?

What can I do for you?

Well, so obviously it's the bike you put the kid in at the barber's, and this

front bit is...

As good as gone. I'm not quite sure what to do.

So do you want it loving and looking like it always was?

Old romantic.

I love that this has survived.

Yeah. You know, there's certain bits of it that you go, if I took that off and

had a new one cast... It wouldn't be the same. I'd know.

It's got charisma like it is.

Well, I don't want to burden you.

It's not a problem.

Tiny bit of TLC. No major restoration or anything.

Just make it look like it always was. Do you mind having a quick kind of... I'll

enjoy doing that.

Will you? Good.

Because I can't wait to see the back of it.

I've just taken the bike to my neighbour Dave.

I know it won't see back what I spent on it. I'm still not quite willing to give

up on it. I still want it to find a home.

And as long as there's not silly time put into it, even if it's just sprucing

it up.

I still think it's earned a place in the shop.

Johnny has already learned that antique stealing is not as easy as it looks.

But neither is getting the day started.

I know they are quite far away.

No, but they are.

No, mine's got more movement than you.

I don't think that seatbelt's been used very often.

You might have to lube it. Which is a good thing.

You might have to lube it. Well, exactly.

It'll stop you going through the window.

You just suggested lubing up a seatbelt.

Well, just maybe something. Just give it a tug.

Derive.

I was nervous.

About what?

This one, but it's Swiss cottage.

Yeah. Proper. Why are you nervous?

Well, because it's proper. But they are liquidating the stock.

Johnny and Bev are back in Yorkshire, heading to Swiss cottage.

An industrial size prop hiring antique emporium run by John Howarth.

Me and my wife have been doing this for about 40 years. We started many years

ago with a shop that was about six foot square and we built up from there.

This space is now crammed with thousands upon thousands of items encompassing

anything and everything you could possibly imagine.

My passion is just hunting, unearthing the obscure, looking into the history of

things.

Now, after a long career, this wily veteran is calling time.

After 40 years, I'm retiring and everything's got to go. And when you

look round, there's a heck of a lot. We've sold quite a bit already, but it's

still a lot to get rid of.

So is it like full stock liquidation? From what I've heard, yeah.

Ooh.

It should be. It should just be.

I'm hoping it's a good day for smalls.

Yes. But not pricey smalls as well. Oh, no, no, no.

Cheap smalls, high turnover.

Do you know, interesting fact, monkeys eat the bananas from the other end. They

do. And they use that to hold it. They do.

Are you going to do it like a monkey does? No, I'm not.

God's sake, how do you drop a banana on yourself?

You're a proper messy eater.

I'm not.

Right, try not to undermine me. I won't undermine you.

You know I'm an idiot, he doesn't.

I'm an idiot savant.

Get some deals, don't bid over.

Idiot savant. Do not tell me about my... I'm joking.

I knew that I'd annoy you.

Already, I have spotted... I've seen loads of things already.

There's lots of smalls here. So can I do this one? Yeah, go on.

Oh, yeah, I'm going to have a mooch.

John?

How are you doing, pal?

Not bad, not bad. Good to meet you.

Wow, you've got stuff.

You haven't seen it out yet.

What got you started and when did it become...? Me and my wife, we hadn't

been going out right long, we were bored, and we went to a car boat sale

and she stood lucky, she bought some jewellery.

And that was it. We'd made more money on that when we did working on his jobs and

we were off and running.

Do you know what I love? You never meet a collector who isn't full of stories.

Yeah. So what are you going to go for? Are you going up market, down market?

Are you going to build?

I'm very open-minded. I have that firm belief if I like it, I hope somebody

else will like it too. It's a good way to start.

I'm hoping today will be good for smalls and for walkouts.

You know what I mean? Let's do small in here, looking round, all sorts of bits

and pieces. We'll keep you interested.

I can spend the week in here. There's so much stuff. I'm just going to make a

start from one end to the other.

I'll see you in about two hours.

Cheers, John.

That's a beast.

There's so much stuff here.

So much.

Do you like all these old vintage suitcases? They go well.

There's everything here.

Oh my god.

God, there's row after row after.

It's funny at home, plus it doesn't bother me, but suddenly I feel very,

very unknowledgeable.

If I was to give anybody advice like Johnny starting out in this business,

I'd say, trust your gut, trust your instinct, and it'll earn you money.

Every item of fibre.

Now, is that a good thing, or is there a reason why every item is a fibre?

Oh, no.

It's a fair ground prize.

I'm asking the bed to put out the light.

Look, they've got full onesies on with a candle at the end of it.

It's very naive.

Well, it's naive because it was a prize because they were made dirt cheap.

Sometimes they've got more to them.

That's a five.

Yeah, I'm going to keep that.

I'm honestly genuinely just overwhelmed and I do

not know and I've got to hold my hands up.

I don't know what's tat and what's any good. I know I've come here for smalls,

but I could just quite easily, and it's no fun at all, I could end up buying

just a tall load of rubbish.

Oh, I can't move.

That just could be genius.

That, I'm having that.

Is that real?

That little... That sign round there, the cheerio.

Yes. That's genuine.

It's not been mocked up or... No, it's genuine.

You promised me that.

It's genuine, absolutely genuine.

I'm paying for your... It's a genuine... Where did you get that?

That came many years ago in the corn exchange in Leeds. They had a shop that

was set up just as a chemist. That's fabulous.

That's almost... I had to ask, it's almost too good to be true.

I like that.

All the classic baby foods.

These are definitely not. They're not fake. They're genuine. The original

counter displays.

Bone and vegetable broth.

Nestle's baby foods.

It's nice.

It's another nice piece.

Is this a device to show you how to lift something properly?

Lift with the knees and not the back.

This is just fun.

I've got to have this.

Hello.

Look at him.

Hello, you spiv.

What's the story with this guy?

It's my great-grandad. Get lost.

Yes, he was a music host there.

You are joking. Who painted that thing? My grandad.

Oh, it's not for sale then, is it? His father, Herbert, worked for the music

halls around Blackpool and all that sort of area.

He was on the music hall circuit.

That's absolutely... So he was quite the artist then?

My grandad, he was a footballer, to be honest.

Was he?

He played for Burnley and then he ended up being a policeman during the Second

World War.

God! I thought it was an advertising piece. No, it's done by Harold, my

grandad. I think you're fantastic.

I really wanted a guy. I want him to adopt me.

I wish he'd, like, took me on for an apprenticeship years ago. I'd have come

and worked for him for now.

Quite liking these.

Whenever I've seen a lizard without a tail, I've gone, how did that happen?

Now I know.

That rat's going, I want my money Tuesday.

Or else he'll lose a foot.

Where did you get these posters from, John?

School. They're all school posters. That was in the school?

Yeah. Oh, these are... They weren't framing up, really.

Oh, aye.

And then you can go for a decent amount.

Oh, John, these are fabulous, mate.

I hope I just keep a girl about.

They're a piece of social history, really.

It was just... It was just... The end of a long day.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Finally, there's posters that match how my head works.

Moo!

Oh,

fabulous.

There's too many for me to take all of them, mate, but I certainly do want

quite a few of them.

Jolly good.

Good man.

But with Johnny yet to do any deals, will the Swiss Cottage prices be as

friendly as the owner?

In Yorkshire, Johnny's hunting for small bargains at the Swiss Cottage Antique

Emporium, which is soon to be closing down.

An antique type from the 1920s. Yeah, it's a reaper.

It's a shame.

He and owner John have been getting on famously, but now it's time to do some

deals.

Right, shall we start talking?

Note you're doing them, because they're just a five in each, aren't they? Yeah.

They're done. I love that.

They were brilliant, weren't they? Yeah.

These Victorian-era ceramic pieces were made to be given out at fairs as prizes.

They were produced mainly in Germany from the mid to late 19th century until

the First World War.

Absolutely no secret of the fact I love the posters.

It's one of the items that I'm going, is it just me?

Will other folk like them and what will I make about once I've framed them?

Because I think they need framing up and presenting.

How many are you wanting? There's 11 there. I'd say there'll be at least

another nine by the time I've gone through them all. 20. So at five rupees,

20 would be 100 quid.

75 quid.

What were we saying on these now?

They're 30 and 35.

Do you know what? You've done me a better deal on them. I'll pay you that.

Right. That's done, yeah.

Now this piece. So it's a workplace tool to show you how to lift with your knees.

Right, where did you get that from, John? Leeds University.

Wow. On one of their storerooms when I cleared it many years ago.

It's one of them talking pieces. People are going to come in. They're going to

have a bit of fun with it.

I don't know, have you found a place now that you don't want to sell it? No, I'll

sell you it.

Yeah, 25 quid.

Couldn't shake your hand quick enough.

You've done, you've proper done right by me. Thank you, mate. Yeah, I hope you do

well.

Well, so do I.

Yeah, it's been a very successful day.

Bought well.

Met the most fantastic guy.

He's given me really good prices.

You know what? It's been a really important buying trip.

Found stuff I could never have guessed, and I'm up for Sundays.

So we're building up stock, but it's the right kind of stock, and we've not got

thousands of pounds worth of stock sitting idle.

After a 90-minute drive across the Pennines...

Johnny and Bev are back from Swiss Cottage, ready to price up and get their

new items out for sale.

This was a fun pick.

If I lose on that, I don't bother. It's character for the shop, but I paid £65

for the pair.

I don't know if the charity will take some money back, but this one is £32.50.

Put £45 on that, it's a winner.

£25 for this.

Sells itself.

£25, I'm going to ask £75 each.

I want £20 out of them, and I'm not taking less than £20.

The school educational posters.

I paid £75 for 20 pictures.

Best £75 I've ever spent.

I will price them on how much they make me laugh, genuinely.

Though overall, Johnny and Bev's Swiss cottage trip has more than paid for the

petrol. with Johnny upbeat about what he could potentially make.

For his kinetic lifting model, a sale would see a potential £45 profit.

With the fairground prizes, Johnny's hoping to make £15 on each one sold.

For his pair of advertising posters, he's rounding up to £45 each.

And finally, having bought the educational posters as a job lot,

Johnny's decided to price each one individually.

based on their condition and level of interest.

Well, let's get out and see how I can open up.

A few people waiting already.

Hello.

Feel free to move. Ask on the price. I'll be honest with you.

Everything's for sale.

Oh, cash for you.

Thank you.

How much is that?

Two, that's 15.

Oh, beautiful, I like that.

Pleasure. I think 25.

That's a two.

Anything you like?

We just have a question about this.

We don't think we can afford it, but we feel like we'd really like to ask you

about it.

It's original.

It's genuine.

When you're saying you can't afford it, unless it's something really insulting

as a price, you might surprise yourself.

What do you think? What would you like to pay? And I'll be just dead straight

up with you with what I'm looking for off it. We won't offend each other. OK.

We've never asked anybody before in our lives how much a fairground original

horse is. We have absolutely no idea. We want it for the living room. That's been

ridden. It's been played on.

And you get a lot of the foregrounds now of the families.

It wasn't made by a grandmaster, that one. It would have been a family, and

the grandad would have cut all that out, done it.

Another member of the family would have painted it.

I had, like, 240 on it.

That's authentic.

And the only reason, I'll be honest with you, I can do 240 is the lad sold me a

couple of other things, and he did me a really nice number on it.

Is that the lowest?

Yeah, I've got to be.

A little bit strict on it, because it will go.

If I'm honest, we had a kind of what we would pay was two, but we thought it

would be a lot higher. That was where we kind of pitched it. That's why we were a

bit scared to ask.

Two forties, it's a good price.

I know, you're right. I promise you.

Why don't you go and have an ice cream? Have a think on it.

Okay.

I think they'll be back.

Can I squeeze past you? Sorry to be a nuisance.

Thank you, young man.

There we go. I've brought your beauty back.

Taste through stored.

Oh, man, that's mint.

I've taken all the grime off the handlebars, and it should be ready to

go. No, you've done it perfect. It's not overdone, you know what I mean?

There's not another one up for sale in England at the moment, and the cheapest

one is £195 just as a plain chair.

As in plain, what, missing the wheels, missing the...? Yep.

Just as a plain child's barber seat.

You're joking.

So you've done all right.

Oh, you've turned that frown upside down with that, haven't you?

He was gutted, didn't you? Really was. Dave, that's fab. I loved it. I really

liked it. I was... Yeah.

You were a bit... You were really downhearted when you opened it up,

didn't you? You've done it absolutely perfect.

Oh, Dave. Cheers, mate. Oh, we've got the best neighbour.

You're welcome. Thanks for that.

See you later.

Thanks, guys.

Cheers, Dave.

You're back.

We're back.

You knew we would. I take it you're back because you're back for Secretary.

We just know we're going to do another one again and it's like fate that we

came out today and saw it. We got to the car, we shook hands on the deal and we

just cut it.

I can promise you 240's great on that.

We agree.

I'm glad it's going with you because I can see you going, you're loving it more

and more every time you're looking at it. It's just brilliant.

Thank you. Thank you for buying it. I thought we could buy it.

Cheers, mate.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Cheers, mate. Thank you very much. Thank you.

That was good, eh?

They're going away.

You get the sense they're going to be repeat customers. People are going to

ask them where they got it. They got it from here.

So it's like the best free advert you can be passing on. I had a profit.

I haven't lost money.

What a great day.

And every sale is a confirmation that you belong.

And it got up.
