00:03An Oculus costume jewellery in the biking area.
00:06That's £200.
00:08Wow, thank you very much.
00:11Vintage Cash Cow sponsors how to clean up for cash.
00:13Offer accepted.
00:16Crammed into cupboards, filling up our lofts and stuffed under beds.
00:21Clutter. Lord have mercy.
00:23As a nation, our homes are storing £32 billion worth of unused and unloved items.
00:30There's got to be some treasures 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.
01:04£50,000.
01:05Woohoo!
01:06In secret.
01:07You beckoned, we 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? We'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. These can go.
01:41Ruthless, ruthless man.
01:43When they return home.
01:45What is going on?
01:47All will be revealed.
01:49Whoa!
01:50Will they keep the clutter?
01:52Where's my things?
01:53Or take the cash?
01:59This time, I'm in the north-east of England, helping a mum who loves to collect.
02:03Is that a didgeridoo?
02:05I love it.
02:05And a daughter who wishes it was gone.
02:08What do you need them for?
02:09Get rid of it.
02:17Oh, my God, this is beautiful.
02:20Beautiful.
02:20Welcome to North.
02:22I'm in the driver's seat because we're in my backyard.
02:24Oh, I love a northerner.
02:26Yeah.
02:26Love up North.
02:27So, guys, we're on our way to meet Ashley.
02:30Now, Ashley has secretly nominated her mum, Mandy.
02:33And they run a successful business together, making flags.
02:36Oh, that's so different.
02:37That's interesting.
02:38But the only thing that Ashley's flagging up at the moment is her mum's buying habits.
02:43She is an auction enthusiast.
02:45She goes to auction.
02:46She buys these job lots of things.
02:48But she only wants one thing in that job lot.
02:50So, she's left with all the other stuff.
02:52And she doesn't know what to do with it.
02:53Classic auction mistake.
02:55Yeah, the fast way to building that clutter.
02:57Well, she's got a room that used to be her arts and crafts room.
03:00And she's filled it right up to the top with what she can only describe as treasure.
03:05Oh, yeah.
03:06Okay.
03:07She's also a dedicated carer for her dad with Alzheimer's.
03:10Oh.
03:10So, this can be a space for her to really, like, relax, unwind, and get back into her arts and
03:16crafts again.
03:21This is it.
03:22Oh, my God.
03:22I love it.
03:24Wow.
03:25Ready, guys?
03:30Ashley!
03:32Josie Gibson.
03:33Hello.
03:33How to clean up for cash?
03:34Brilliant.
03:35Dan, Jackie.
03:37Welcome.
03:37Well, you beckoned.
03:38We came.
03:39And there's a room here which has got a bit out of control, is it?
03:42Yes.
03:43Come on in.
03:46You just go and have a look in.
03:48I'll pop the kettle on.
03:50Oh, dear God.
03:51Oh.
03:52This is amazing.
03:54Wow.
04:00Look at it.
04:02Guys, look.
04:03I'm loving this.
04:04Bits and bobs.
04:05Get organized.
04:06Keeps hiding.
04:07But I think the mantra has not quite worked.
04:11I would describe my mom as just a little bit crazy.
04:16She's up for anything.
04:17She's adventurous.
04:18She's caring.
04:19She's spent her whole life looking after me and her family.
04:24She loves crafting, mainly pottery and auctions.
04:29The only thing we do buttheads on is all the stuff that she buys.
04:34It's like endless clutter now.
04:37It's taken over a whole room.
04:40She used to have it as a craft room.
04:42So I'd love to make that room nice forever again.
04:47Is this not the swankiest ashtray you've ever seen?
04:49Wow.
04:50I've never seen one like that.
04:51Yeah.
04:52I'll never see you later.
04:52That's great.
04:53I think Mandy's got a taste for the weird and wonderful, and I am here for it.
04:58This is Japanese.
04:59That's beautiful.
05:01This is gorgeous.
05:03Who's had that before?
05:04I'm impressed, actually.
05:06Been a while.
05:07Love the mirror.
05:08Oh, that's a beautiful mirror.
05:1019th century.
05:11Bit of a status symbol, this, in Victorian England.
05:14If you had a mirror, it was like earning a Rolls Royce.
05:16The average value for an authentic Victorian mantelpiece mirror ranges from £500 to over £2,000.
05:25The mirror's wonderful.
05:27There's furniture, ceramics, pictures, loads of stuff.
05:31I'm loving it.
05:33Eclectic is an understatement.
05:35Is that meant to be Elvis?
05:38What in the world is that?
05:40The leather jacket, everything, that's definitely meant to be Elvis.
05:42Okay.
05:43It's so random.
05:44It's a little bit daunting, isn't it?
05:46It's even overwhelming for me, this one.
05:48Okay, I think we're going to have to have a little bit of a debrief with Ashley.
05:53Ashley, this place is absolutely stunning.
05:56Yeah.
05:56Do you know what?
05:57Going in that room, you can tell your mum's got a lot of personality.
06:00Oh, yeah.
06:01Works all the time.
06:02Does karaoke at the pub on a Sunday.
06:04She's always doing something.
06:06She's got a lot going on.
06:07She's a busy woman.
06:08You know, caring for her dad for the last year.
06:10No wonder it's all got a bit overwhelming in there for her,
06:13because she wouldn't have had any time to go and saw her out anyway.
06:15Yeah.
06:16What would you like us to achieve at the end of this for you?
06:19Just a space where she can have some downtime.
06:23Even just a little bit more space in there would make room to get her pottery wheel back out.
06:27I think she'd really like to buy a kiln so she can fire her pottery here.
06:33This is going to be a proper pottery hub for her then.
06:35I hope so.
06:36It depends if she takes her cash or not.
06:38I can tell straight away that there's some interesting items.
06:41If she's ready to let go, I think we could be on to a winner here.
06:44Yeah.
06:45Brilliant.
06:46So, Dan, you're with me.
06:48Ashley and Josie, you're together.
06:50The great thing about this job is that Mandy has two big rooms,
06:54so I want to use all the space to lay things out.
06:57You've got ornaments and trinkets.
06:59Right.
06:59Furniture.
07:00Household items.
07:02Oh!
07:02You're very strong.
07:03I know.
07:04I intimidate men.
07:06There's no mirror category.
07:08Well, it's on to furniture.
07:09Thanks, Jack.
07:10See?
07:10I told you we need Jackie to tell us what to do.
07:12Most people underestimate their belongings by 30%.
07:16Seeing multiple items in one category
07:19makes it a lot easier to decide
07:21what's going to stay and what's going to go.
07:24Ornaments.
07:25Stunning.
07:26Oh, Dan.
07:27Costume jewellery.
07:29How are you getting on, guys?
07:30Well, you know, you call it clutter.
07:33I love the bits of treasure.
07:34Nice.
07:35Dan, I think I'm finding bits of treasure.
07:38Yeah, 50p.
07:40It is the most eclectic mix of things I've ever seen.
07:43She's unusual.
07:44She's very, very quirky.
07:46What are these things?
07:48But I keep looking at it and thinking,
07:50it's got to be worth some money.
07:52Oh, my dad would have loved that.
07:53My dad was an antiques dealer, see?
07:55I know he was.
07:56So I think that's where I get it from.
07:58Look at how ornate that face is as well.
08:00That's beautiful.
08:0119th century.
08:02Faux marble.
08:03That's a nice find.
08:04Yeah, thank you.
08:05Faux marble was bought by people
08:08who wanted to appear wealthy,
08:09so they bought the reproductions.
08:12Real marble ones can fetch thousands.
08:14Oh.
08:15Oh, God.
08:17Ash, it just keeps coming and coming and coming.
08:19I know.
08:19It's never-ending.
08:20Oh, here's some power tools.
08:22I'll tell you what that is, a hedge trimmer.
08:23Oh, we don't have any hedges,
08:25so get rid of it.
08:27Excuse me.
08:28Sorry, damn it, you're in the way there, mate.
08:30Watch the trombone.
08:32Oh, that is lovely, isn't it?
08:34Hmm.
08:36Do you see any of this as treasure?
08:39No.
08:39But your mum does?
08:40Yeah.
08:42Do you don't think she'll want to keep that?
08:44No.
08:45You are quite militant about getting rid of all this stuff.
08:48No sort of non-negotiables?
08:50Not for me, anyway.
08:52Get rid of this bag because it's just old candles.
08:54Okay.
08:55Are you sure you don't want to go through the jury?
08:57No.
08:58Ashley is on fire,
09:00and I just hope she knows what she's doing
09:02because we could be on a collision course with Mandy.
09:05How long have you wanted to do this for?
09:08I've always wanted to do it every time I come here.
09:10I can't be sentimental about that stuff.
09:13What do you need them for?
09:14Get rid of it.
09:17120 miles away in Manchester,
09:19none the wiser,
09:20Mandy's been hunting for vintage treasure.
09:23Woo-hoo!
09:24My God, your shop looks like my house.
09:27For my fake show, Hidden Treasure Challenge.
09:30I like this plate here.
09:31I like the colours.
09:32Ooh, miners, lamps.
09:34Where she thinks she's competing with her daughter, Ashley,
09:37to find bargains.
09:38Oh, yeah.
09:39Look at that, kaleidoscope.
09:41I like anything different.
09:44Oh, Bruce Lee.
09:45Antiques.
09:47Curious objects.
09:49My house is full of them.
09:51Ashley hates it.
09:52It's very easy to get distracted in places like this.
09:56Oh, look at Elvis.
09:59Oh, my.
10:00He won't be cheap, will he?
10:01You can have it for a fiver.
10:02Champion.
10:03Is that a didgeridoo?
10:04Yeah.
10:05I love it.
10:05Right, I might need another bag then.
10:08I've had a fantastic day in Manchester.
10:10I'm going to guess Ashley's still out shopping in the rain.
10:14Wherever she is, I'm going home with stuff.
10:16I'm going to win this challenge.
10:19As the fake host of the fake show, I need to check in with Mandy.
10:25Hello?
10:26Mandy, Josie Gibson, Hidden Treasure Challenge.
10:29How are you getting on?
10:31Eey, we've had so much fun today.
10:33It's been absolutely brilliant.
10:34I didn't have bought all sorts of treasure.
10:36I've got a didgeridoo.
10:38It's beautiful.
10:39Have you ever played the didgeridoo before?
10:41No, it's a first.
10:43So now we're having a gin.
10:44Oh, I am.
10:46Do you know what?
10:48You're the perfect person for Hidden Treasure Challenge.
10:51I can't wait to meet you and see the treasure.
10:53Lovely.
10:54See you.
10:54Bye.
10:55I just hope she's going to be all right that we've been in a rouse behind her back.
10:59Do you reckon Hobbs all?
11:02We could have a problem.
11:04It sounds like Mandy likes stuff more than she likes space and might not take the cash.
11:11No way.
11:12I found a pottery wheel.
11:14There it is.
11:15Yeah.
11:16I knew it was here somewhere.
11:17We've got the makings here of a workshop.
11:21Right.
11:22I don't want to alarm anyone.
11:25However, we filled up two huge rooms there full of stuff.
11:30I'm really proud of you guys.
11:32That was a lot.
11:33It's good.
11:33I like to see it clear.
11:34It's weird seeing it in the other rooms, though.
11:37It's spread out.
11:37It looks very much like a lot more.
11:39It's going to be boxed up tomorrow.
11:41And the valuation.
11:42And then she's got a decision to make.
11:44I just hope that she can part with this stuff.
11:48This is years of buying that we're asking Mandy to let go of.
11:52I don't think this is going to be an easy decision.
