00:04Watches, pens in the bagging area.
00:06That's $350.
00:08Wow, thank you very much.
00:11Vintage Qashqai sponsors how to clean up for cash.
00:14Offer accepted.
00:16Crammed into cupboards, filling up our lofts and stuffed under beds.
00:21Clutter.
00:22Lord have mercy.
00:23As a nation, our homes are storing £32 billion worth of unused and unloved items.
00:30There's got to be situations amongst this.
00:32Oh wow.
00:33You could be sitting on a fortune.
00:35Oh my God.
00:37Without even knowing it.
00:39I don't think you realise how much money is on this bed.
00:41Being a car boot fanatic and passionate collector.
00:44Wow, this is incredible.
00:46What do you think about that then?
00:48I love stuff.
00:51But over 60% of us are fed up with other people's clutter.
00:55What in the world is that?
00:57So I'm giving some long-suffering loved ones the chance to have it cleared.
01:02Flog it.
01:03And cash it in.
01:0450,000.
01:05Woo-hoo!
01:06In secret.
01:07You beckoned.
01:08We came.
01:09We have just 48 hours.
01:11My calves are hurting.
01:12For me and my team to infiltrate the homes of clutter culprits.
01:16Are the cameras all off?
01:17We're not going to get rumbled.
01:18Without them knowing.
01:19You look like you're doing something really bad.
01:21Yeah, I am.
01:22While they're distracted shopping for bargains on a fake show.
01:25He obviously thinks he's on Hidden Treasure Challenge.
01:28You could have it for a fiver.
01:29Champion.
01:30We will be boxing up their belongings behind their back.
01:33Get rid of it.
01:34And finding out just how much it's worth.
01:36Whoa!
01:37Yes!
01:38Ready to sell the lot.
01:40These can go.
01:41These can go.
01:41Roofless, roofless man.
01:43When they return home.
01:45What is going on?
01:47All will be revealed.
01:49What?
01:50Will they keep the clutter?
01:52Where's my things?
01:53Or take the cash?
01:59This time we're in Sussex.
02:01You're wearing the trousers now.
02:03I mean, I've got trousers on.
02:04Helping a man who wants to sell his girlfriend's lifetime of collections.
02:08These can go.
02:09These can go.
02:10Behind her back.
02:11How are you feeling?
02:13Under pressure.
02:16I've got to say, I'm totally in love with this village.
02:18That's gorgeous, isn't it?
02:21So we're on our way to meet Tim, who secretly nominated his girlfriend, Sally.
02:26Now, Sally and Tim, they run a 500-year-old pub.
02:29So they're really, really busy people.
02:31And Sally is quite the creative.
02:33So much so, she runs themed nights for all the people in the village.
02:38Love.
02:38Yeah, all different sorts of themes, but she's always out every weekend to different car boots,
02:42different sales, picking up lots of stuff.
02:44But all this stuff is overflowing now because they live above the pub and it's really infiltrating their home life.
02:52So this is the place, guys.
02:54A little bit of history.
02:55Yeah.
02:55This is amazing.
02:58Hello.
02:59Hello, Tim.
02:59How are you?
03:00I'm dying to know what you've got inside.
03:02Do you want to come in?
03:03Yeah.
03:06Oh, this is absolutely sensational.
03:10There's a lot to get round.
03:12I think we need to split up.
03:13Okay.
03:14Lead the way.
03:16Below the pub in the basement is Sally's props cupboard for her themed nights.
03:22Oh, lordy, lordy.
03:24Yeah, this is just the start.
03:25There's all sorts of props and different themes.
03:29Michael Jordan.
03:30Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice.
03:33That's right, yeah.
03:36She made all this herself?
03:37Yeah, yeah.
03:38I've never seen anything like it.
03:41As we've only got two days to box up and value Sally's items.
03:45Oh, my God.
03:46Is that Voldemort?
03:47Okay.
03:47We're focusing on the living room and landing in the flat above the pub, where Tim and Sally
03:53and her children live.
03:55When's the last time you had a clear-out?
03:57I don't think we've ever had a clear-out, really.
03:59You've never added a clutter?
04:01No, never done that.
04:05Oh, wow.
04:07So, this is a collection of Star Wars toys from the 90s and the 2000s.
04:13This is incredible.
04:14These are definitely going, aren't they?
04:16Uh, yes.
04:18You seem like that, I'm sure.
04:19I know, I said it with a little bit uncertainty, because Sally's kind of the boss.
04:23You're wearing the trousers now.
04:25I mean, I've got trousers on.
04:27Good.
04:31So, we've got a lot of stuff.
04:33We live above the pub.
04:34Sally's a big collector, and upstairs sometimes kind of just becomes a dumping ground.
04:40Yeah, it'd be great to have some separation between the pub and upstairs.
04:46I mean, it just doesn't stop, does it?
04:54Oh, that takes it out of you, doesn't it?
04:57I can tell Sally's a real collector.
05:00All of her items are in pristine condition, which means there might be trouble ahead.
05:06A lot of games.
05:08Yeah.
05:08A load of ballgames there.
05:09It's very nostalgic.
05:10It's like walking back into the 80s again, isn't it?
05:12Yeah, it is.
05:13It really is.
05:14A space hopper.
05:15Yeah.
05:15I used to love those.
05:16It's a little bit...
05:17Oh, go on, Dan.
05:18...deblated.
05:19Oh, yeah.
05:20Oh, no.
05:21Oh!
05:23Are you all right, love?
05:24Sorry.
05:25Invented in the 1960s by an Italian who just watched a documentary on kangaroos, an original
05:34space hopper can go for about 70 quid.
05:37Now we've assessed Sally's curated clutter, the hard work starts.
05:42So I'll leave you guys to it, then.
05:45We need your help, Tim.
05:46That's not how this works.
05:47That's not how...
05:48No, we need you to help us decide on what needs to be kept and what needs to go.
05:52We're keeping you close by, Tim.
05:53Yes, we are.
05:54Let's do it.
05:56Instead of going to landfill, we're going to box up Sally's clutter and value it, ready
06:01to sell before she returns.
06:03I want to clear this space.
06:04Okay.
06:05I'm going to bring in all the stuff that is in the hallway and put it here on the table
06:08so everything is in one space, so we can see what we're working with.
06:11And then we're going to divide and conquer.
06:14The average person loses over four hours a week just looking for misplaced items.
06:19So I'm hoping this is going to work wonders for Sally.
06:22Careful of that one.
06:23There you go.
06:23Okay.
06:24Space hopper!
06:25It's the original.
06:27These are valuable.
06:28Oh, great.
06:29Now we can get rid of those.
06:29Everything here I think we can get rid of.
06:31Yeah.
06:31We can get rid of that mirror and things.
06:34Oh, these can go.
06:35These can go.
06:36These can go.
06:37So far, Tim is not holding back.
06:41So this is just sewing patterns and things.
06:45Now look how vintage these are.
06:46These could be worth money.
06:48Really?
06:48They're some hard ones, eh?
06:49Yeah.
06:50Should we leave these all together and then they're already boxed up?
06:53Tim, can I ask you about these annuals?
06:56Yeah, I think the annuals we can box up.
06:58Box up?
06:58Okay.
06:59Tim is absolutely cutthroat because I think Sally normally wears the trousers and now he's
07:05got a bit carried away with himself.
07:07How did you meet such a fine lady?
07:09I met her while working in the pub, actually.
07:13You're basically the Tom Cruise of the village.
07:16Oh, in Cocktail.
07:17Yeah.
07:17How does Sally find the time to run a pub, do all these different creative events
07:23and be a mother of four children?
07:25Well, that's...
07:25I've got no idea.
07:27That's why we're here, to help, I guess.
07:30Well, I would say help.
07:31Good answer.
07:34Completely unaware we're boxing up her belongings, Sally's in London doing what she loves, shopping.
07:41That's in my budget.
07:43She thinks she's competing against Tim to find vintage bargains for my fake TV show, Hidden Treasure Challenge.
07:51Yeah, we're probably quite competitive.
07:53So it's quite important to beat him.
07:56See, I've got loads of these at the pub.
07:58I've been running the gun for 16 years now.
08:01I brought up four children there.
08:03When I first got to the pub, I never poured a pint before, so that was a challenge.
08:08See, I just like this as a collection as well.
08:10I just think I like lots of things.
08:13Going to antiques, stalls or charity shops is my little getaway, really.
08:20As the fake host of the fake show, I need to check in.
08:24I've got to ring your girlfriend now.
08:26All right.
08:27Hopefully she's picked up a bargain.
08:29She's very good at it.
08:30Yeah.
08:30I'm going to get these.
08:34Hello?
08:36Sally, Josie Gibson, Hidden Treasure Challenge.
08:39How are you getting on?
08:40Oh, I would love to say really well, but I'm struggling.
08:43How are you?
08:44Absolutely fantastic.
08:45I've spoke to Tim.
08:47He's not struggling.
08:49He's not struggling?
08:51No, apparently he's done very well.
08:54Great.
08:55That's perfect.
08:56Are you competitive?
08:58Yes, I am.
09:00What sort of things have you got, Sal?
09:03I've got some really random items.
09:05I've got a couple of plates and some sheet music.
09:10Is random items your thing, is it?
09:13Random items are my thing, yes, for sure.
09:16I believe in you, Sally.
09:17The very best of luck on Hidden Treasure Challenge.
09:20I think you're the woman that has what it takes.
09:24Bye, Dad.
09:25Bye.
09:27You ruthless, ruthless man.
09:32Let's go.
09:34Dan, look, we found a typewriter.
09:37A lovely little typewriter.
09:37Another mid-century item.
09:39That's cute.
09:40Yeah.
09:41Needs a little bit of TLC.
09:43They're sticking.
09:44Typewriters can be worth surprisingly good money with the big books hailing from the 1800s,
09:50like the Shoals and Glidden.
09:52They can go for $15,000 plus at auction.
09:56Gorgeous.
09:56Nice, though, isn't it?
09:57Well, put that to one side.
09:58Okay.
09:59There's a lot of games here.
10:00Get rid of that one.
10:02Five seconds.
10:03Get rid of it.
10:04Chicken versus hot dog?
10:06Yeah.
10:06It's a classic, but we can get rid of that.
10:08Never heard of it.
10:08Because of Tim's decisiveness, we've managed to box up loads of Sally's stuff.
10:14I don't know about you guys, but I am absolutely parched.
10:20It's pub time.
10:21Yep, let's go.
10:22Oh, good work, team.
10:26This could get very spicy.
10:28We'll see what tomorrow brings.
10:32Josie, I'm going to ask, what's with the cowboy look?
10:36Well, I thought I'd go a little bit kangaroo today
10:38because, obviously, when Sally comes back
10:42and realises the love of her life has packed up her belongings,
10:45there might be a little bit of a showdown.
10:48Do you reckon?
10:51It's the final day, and the countdown to Sally's return is on.
10:55We haven't got a lot of time left, I'll be honest.
10:57She's coming back today.
10:58The clock is ticking.
11:00The clock is ticking.
11:01Well, there was one thing on the shelf yesterday.
11:04My late dog's ashes, and I'm not sure where they went.
11:09So you're saying we could have potentially boxed up your dead dog's ashes?
11:14That's right.
11:20Watches, pens in the bagging area.
11:22That's $250 pounds.
11:23Wow, thank you very much.
11:26Vintage Qashqai sponsors how to clean up for cash.
11:29Offer accepted.
11:30Watches, pens in the bagging area.
11:32That's $250 pounds.
11:33Wow, thank you very much.
11:36Vintage Qashqai sponsors how to clean up for cash.
11:39Offer accepted.
11:44We're in Sussex, secretly decluttering mother-of-four's Sally's home above the pub,
11:49and boxing up a lifetime of random collections with her boyfriend, Tim.
11:54Careful of that one.
11:55But Tim has been so enthusiastic about the clear-out that we've boxed up her dead dog's ashes.
12:02You need to tell us before we start boxing everything.
12:05So that's quite fundamental, your dead dog's ashes.
12:09Yeah.
12:09Hopefully we find him.
12:11Oh, God, this is getting serious.
12:13If we're possibly ditching the family dog, what other keepsakes might be boxed up?
12:18I just hope we find them.
12:22But time is against us now.
12:24It's just four hours until Sally's back, and Dan's got to value everything.
12:28So Atari's introduced in the late 70s.
12:32This particular model is from 1984.
12:36Nostalgia is worth money, and these can sell for decent prices.
12:41Retro gaming is big business.
12:44Even some games for Atari go for £20,000.
12:48But that is small fry compared to Super Mario, which holds the record at 1.5 million.
12:56And not being funny, a lot of people are putting these in cafes now.
13:00You know, like those retro cafes.
13:01They love stuff like this.
13:02Right.
13:03Any more treasures?
13:04Yes.
13:05Right below your feet.
13:08Star Wars.
13:09Now, if you've got the Jawa from the 1970s, made by Paletoy,
13:15you'd be looking at about £3,000 to £4,000.
13:17Just for one of those, we don't have that.
13:21Oh, so what have we got then?
13:23Well, we've got the American version.
13:25We've got Kenner.
13:26She's paid about £4.99 for most of them.
13:29Some of them are doubled, some of them are tripled.
13:31What a treasure chest.
13:32Yes.
13:34You've got a lovely array of cameras here.
13:39Yeah, there's a bit of a collection.
13:41And what about these ones up here?
13:43Oh, I still use those ones.
13:45So they're non-negotiable?
13:47Definitely, because it's mine.
13:50So you've got rid of your girlfriend's stuff?
13:53Yeah.
13:54But yours are non-negotiables?
13:55Yeah.
13:56And do you know what as well, Josie?
14:00Tim's cameras could raise £1,500 to £2,000.
14:04Shall we box them up?
14:05Well, I need them for work.
14:07Oh.
14:07Oh, OK.
14:11During my time at the Carboots, this is what you do.
14:15You lay it all out nicely.
14:17I know my mate Anthony at Vintage Cash Cow takes cameras and typewriters,
14:21so I've invited him along to strike a deal.
14:25Ready to do business.
14:27Hello?
14:28If you want to have a sit down, we can negotiate.
14:31Oh, thank you.
14:31What do you want me to do?
14:32Negotiation.
14:32I do like a negotiation.
14:34So do I.
14:35Are you ready to see my treasures?
14:37Wonderful treasures.
14:39Oh.
14:40Oh, it's a Hermes baby.
14:42Does it work, though, Josie?
14:43It does indeed, yeah.
14:44Are you sure?
14:44Yeah.
14:45It's a beautiful, beautiful piece.
14:47Yes.
14:47So I hope you're going to offer me good money.
14:49I, well, I'm going to try my best,
14:50and I'm going to offer you £50 for it.
14:53I'm thinking more like £100.
14:55Well, I'm going to offer you £75 for it,
14:57because we've got to make some money, too.
14:59£75.
14:59OK, done, dear.
15:00Pleasure of doing business with you.
15:01Hermes baby.
15:02I do like them.
15:03Right, now...
15:03It gets interesting now, I'll tell you.
15:05Those, I'd offer you some money for them,
15:07but it'd be as a group of cameras, all together as one.
15:10Oh, so there's not one standout piece?
15:12There's not a standout piece, darling.
15:13I'm going to offer you for the whole lot, £120.
15:15Shall we just round it up and call it £200?
15:17Where were we at?
15:18Well, we were at £75 and £120.
15:21No, yeah, that's right.
15:23Oh, sorry.
15:23You said I was good with numbers, I thought that was...
15:26Now, I'm no Carol Vorderman.
15:28So, that's £210.
15:34Now, that's what you call a deal.
15:36Now all we have to do is box up and value the rest of Sally's belongings.
15:41Right, OK.
15:43Any news on the dog's ashes?
15:45Good news.
15:46I did find them, and they were just over there, actually.
15:48Yay!
15:51Never cheered for dog's ashes before.
15:54So, we'll keep those.
15:55Yeah, we'll definitely keep them.
15:56Cos I don't... I think we'd struggle getting the value for that.
15:59We'll pop these up here, safe, and then we're...
16:01Yeah, there we go.
16:02I don't want to alarm anyone, but Sally's here in two hours.
16:06Right. OK?
16:07OK.
16:08It's going to be a showdown, Tim.
16:10OK.
16:10How are you feeling?
16:12Under pressure.
16:14Get your box.
16:14Give me two minutes.
16:17Go on, ladies.
16:18Is it really heavy, that one?
16:20Yeah.
16:20We'll just...
16:21We'll just do it, yeah.
16:22You did really well on that.
16:24So, what have we got in total?
16:28That's not bad.
16:29That's good.
16:30I think so.
16:32I just hope Sally thinks so.
16:36Two days ago, the corridor and living room were full of Sally's clutter.
16:41Now, she has a calm and relaxing living space.
16:46And we've sorted out the trash from the treasure.
16:49Filling 22 boxes with Sally's belongings,
16:53all of which have been catalogued and valued.
16:55Sally's up the road.
16:56Yep.
16:56We've got to go and reveal that she's on a secret show.
17:00Are you OK?
17:01I think so.
17:02I think I've just realised, throwing away your girlfriend's stuff isn't always going to end well.
17:12Oh, Tim, there is no turning back now.
17:15OK, bye then.
17:16Bye, good luck.
17:18Unaware we've been boxing up her belongings, Sally is at a hotel down the road.
17:23This is crunch time.
17:25She's being interviewed for my fake show, Hidden Treasure Challenge.
17:29I'm feeling really on edge, by the way.
17:31Oh, don't feel on edge.
17:32And she's expecting to meet up with Tim to see who's won.
17:36Right.
17:38She's just sat right there.
17:41Do not make a peep.
17:43Shall we stop?
17:45Sally, Josie Gibson, Hidden Treasure Challenge.
17:48Hello.
17:49It's so nice to meet you.
17:50How have you been getting on?
17:51I thought you were just going to be another customer coming in.
17:54So, shall we go back to the pub?
17:56Yes.
17:56Where all will be revealed at how well Tim's done?
18:00Fabulous.
18:01I know he's been really busy.
18:02I don't believe that.
18:04Poor Sally.
18:05She's absolutely clueless.
18:07I think she's here.
18:08OK.
18:11Oh, my God.
18:13What's going on?
18:18Oh, my God.
18:20So, are you OK?
18:22I don't know.
18:24Sally, I don't know how to tell you this, but the show that you've been on, Hidden Treasure Challenge, does
18:30not exist.
18:31Really?
18:32It is totally fake.
18:35You've actually been on another show called How to Clean Up for Cash.
18:44We wouldn't be here without you being secretly nominated by your boyfriend, Tim.
18:50OK.
18:51So, Tim, what have you got to say for yourself?
18:56Hello.
18:58Hello.
18:59Where's my things?
19:00I wanted to do something because you're always too busy.
19:03And I wanted to show you how I loved you by getting rid of all your things.
19:07You could have bought me flowers.
19:08Yeah, I mean, I went for this.
19:10I thought it would be a bit of a grand gesture.
19:13He was so ruthless that Jackie nearly boxed up your dog's ashes.
19:17Oh, no.
19:18Oh, what, Nelson?
19:19Nelson nearly went, yeah.
19:21We know that you're a busy landlady.
19:23Yeah.
19:24You're also a mother.
19:25We wanted a space where you could call your business space, your pub downstairs, and we wanted to call this
19:30a home for you.
19:31Lovely.
19:32Every single item that we have boxed up has been valued by Dan here.
19:37Would you like to know how much has all been valued at?
19:40Yes, this might make me feel better.
19:43Your possessions, and we can take this away today for you, are at a grand total of £2,000.
19:52That's a lot, that's a lot.
19:56That is amazing that you've found £6,000 worth of stuff on the shelves.
20:02That's incredible.
20:03The Space Hopper came to £60.
20:07Sally's Atari console and games were valued at £150.
20:10The typewriter and cameras came to £210.
20:15And the Star Wars toys were valued at £610.
20:20With all the other miscellaneous items adding a further £970, making a total auction value of £2,000.
20:30The power is in your hands.
20:32So why don't you and Tim go off, have a little conversation, because I've got a big question to ask
20:39you.
20:39OK, then.
20:42She's not happy, is she?
20:44She's in trouble.
20:46He's really pulled the rug from underneath.
20:47He has.
20:48She did not see it coming.
20:50Absolutely blinded by it.
20:53You're right.
20:55Well, at least we didn't box away the ashes.
20:58No.
21:00This is such a strange thing.
21:02Yeah, it has been weird.
21:03I'm not sure how I'm supposed to react.
21:05I guess the point would be to free up some space.
21:09So we can enjoy the space more.
21:12I did notice that predominantly it was your things still left.
21:20Hey, guys.
21:21Hello.
21:22You all right?
21:23Be frightened.
21:24I'm just at Phil when you walk in this room now.
21:27Bear.
21:27You have got a big decision to make now, Sally.
21:31Are you going to take the cash or keep the clutter?
21:42I'm going to take the cash.
21:44Yeah!
21:49How would you like to say anything to Tim?
21:52Once the cameras are open.
21:55Gosh.
21:56This is going to be an exciting evening.
21:59You two are absolutely delightful.
22:02And hilarious.
22:04And we want to wish you the very best of luck with all your different theme nights.
22:07Yay!
22:11What do you think, Holly?
22:12That's a mess.
22:13We got that.
22:14Everybody say cash.
22:16Cash.
22:18Phew.
22:25Next time, wow, there's a lot.
22:28We help a granddaughter clear out and value her grandmother's clutter.
22:32Oh, my goodness, they're down.
22:34But her emotions get in the way.
22:36Is it the reason you can't let go of things is because they hold too many memories?
22:40Yeah, absolutely.
23:04Watchers, gold in the bagging area.
23:06Vintage Cash Cow sponsors how to clean up for cash.
