0:00:43 > 0:00:47Today, the Baron of the Bargain, James Braxton, faces up to the
0:00:47 > 0:00:51First Lady of the Lots, Catherine Southon, at a Sussex antiques fair.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Coming up, Bingo gets carried away...
0:00:55 > 0:00:57Why, oh why, did I buy these?
0:00:57 > 0:01:01I wanted to buy one, ended up with five.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03..Catherine can't count either...
0:01:03 > 0:01:07Well, I told you I would go in there and buy three items and now,
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I have come out and bought four.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13..and James banks a purr-fect profit.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16You can have the kitten and I'll take the cash. That would be lovely.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- Fair enough.- Lead on!- This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:33 > 0:01:37Welcome, one and all, to another day in the sunshine.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41We're in the glorious Sussex countryside, rolling hills,
0:01:41 > 0:01:44green pastures, peace and tranquillity, but don't be
0:01:44 > 0:01:49fooled - there's nothing quiet or quaint about today's challenge.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Two intrepid dealers are about to go head-to-head in a battle to
0:01:52 > 0:01:56be crowned king of the collectibles, or queen of the curio.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59First up, an auctioneer action man who may be posh,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02but he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06On home turf, here in Sussex, it's James "Bingo" Braxton!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Everywhere I go is opportunity after opportunity. I can't stop buying!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Taking him on, the corporal of collectibles.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19She's gunning for a deal and is skilled in the art of negotiation.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's Kent's answer to Arnold Schwarzenegger,
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Canny Catherine Southon.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28Come on, Bingo! Catch me if you can!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Today's titanic tournament takes place at one of the biggest
0:02:31 > 0:02:34antiques fairs in the country,
0:02:34 > 0:02:35Ardingly in West Sussex.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40With over 1,500 stalls to plunder, spread inside and out,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44our duelling dealers will need to be like profit seeking missiles.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48They've each got £750 of their own money to spend
0:02:48 > 0:02:52and any profits they make will go to their chosen charities.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55So, on your marks, get set, James Braxton
0:02:55 > 0:02:59and Catherine Southon, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Hello, James.- Hello, Catherine. - Good to see you.- How are you?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Really good, actually.- Good, good. - Familiar territory, this one.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- It is, isn't it?- Yes, you always see different things here though.- Mm.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Always something a little bit special and so much ground to cover.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17- £750 to spend. - 750, a lot of cash there.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- A lot of cash, burning a hole in the old pocket.- Mm.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- So, are you going to be in or out? - I'm going to be outside.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27It's going to be a lovely day. Top up the old tan. I'm a multitasker.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31- I'm going to be mainly outside. I might touch on inside.- Good luck.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- I'll see you a bit later. - And they're off!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Both our treasure hunters are straight on the prowl for profits,
0:03:37 > 0:03:41but Canny Catherine is hoping to get one over on old Bingo already.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Well, I did say to James that I would be outside to start with,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50but in fact I'm going in straightaway.
0:03:50 > 0:03:54Now, this shed over here has never failed me in the past
0:03:54 > 0:03:56and I don't think it will today.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Ooh, it's going to be that sort of game, is it?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Well, watch it, Catherine,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04because Bingo is drawing up his own plan of action.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07My strategy is to find the house clearer.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10The house clearer always has fresh goods,
0:04:10 > 0:04:14but I want somebody who's arrived today with a van full of goodies.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Our trading terriers are straight into the fray,
0:04:17 > 0:04:21but with so many stalls to see, they need to hit the ground running.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24With his radar set to scan for fresh stock,
0:04:24 > 0:04:28it's not long before Bingo finds himself drawn to a garden table.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33Rather like a moth to a flame, I'm drawn to the three-legged table.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37There's something irresistible about these. Normally painted top.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Interestingly, I don't think I've ever bought a rectangular topped
0:04:41 > 0:04:45one. They're normally circular, like its neighbour next-door.
0:04:45 > 0:04:50This could be anywhere from about 1890 to about 1930,
0:04:50 > 0:04:52but difficult to date.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55Really, in this sort of condition, it's something you'd want to
0:04:55 > 0:04:59sort of purchase for £50 or £60, but let's find out the price.
0:04:59 > 0:05:05- What price do you have on this? - Can do 75.- 75? Could you do 65?
0:05:05 > 0:05:0965, I can do, yeah.
0:05:09 > 0:05:1265, you have yourself a deal!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And it's one-nil to Bingo. Good work, old chap.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'm pleased with this.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Maybe £5 too much, but a bit of work, bit of paint,
0:05:20 > 0:05:25bit of filling, and I have a lovely table - £100 table maybe.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29So, James has one purchase under his belt.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Across the market, his arch rival is poised to head inside.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34I'm going in and I'm buying.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36By the time I come out of here,
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I will have bought three items, I promise you.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Yes, that's a woman on a mission, if ever I saw one,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44and she pounces straight on a boxed painting set.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49How much for that?
0:05:49 > 0:05:5160.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Can I give you 50?
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- 55 and you've done it. - 50 and I will take it away.
0:05:55 > 0:05:5755 and you get a posh carrier bag.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- Go on, then. 55.- OK.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Mm, she doesn't hang around.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06First buy in the bag and a posh bag at that!
0:06:06 > 0:06:09I've just bought this lovely little travelling artist's set.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Some call it an air box because you're painting "en plein air" -
0:06:12 > 0:06:14you know, the French?
0:06:14 > 0:06:17- With me? - Yes, otherwise known as "outside"!
0:06:17 > 0:06:21Anyway, these little tubes retail at about £2 each.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25Some really nice good quality brushes and the palette as well.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29It's all complete, it's all there, and it folds up really nicely.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31All ready to go.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35All I have to do now is find an enthusiastic landscape painter.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37So, savvy Southon's made it one-all.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41Back outside, Bingo's already bought a rusty table,
0:06:41 > 0:06:44so the next logical thing is to buy a set of rusty chairs.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46A sparkling £40.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I love these chairs. Why do I love these chairs?
0:06:48 > 0:06:52They're work, aren't they? Look at them. They're rusty.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55They're quite sweet, aren't they? But they're French, 1960s.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00I think I'm going to put them with that three-legged rectangular
0:07:00 > 0:07:05table and sell them to a little cafe, restaurant, outside.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06Lovely!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Well, while Bingo takes a load off,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Catherine is still hot-footing it around the inside part of the fair
0:07:12 > 0:07:15and she soon gets the measure of her second potential profit -
0:07:15 > 0:07:16a tailor's rule.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- Do you know they're definitely tailor's ones?- They always are.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24They have a special mathematical formula for working out
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- radiuses and curves. - I couldn't even begin to think how...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Someone explained to me once how it worked. It was complicated.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- It goes in one ear and out the other! - It's very complicated, yeah.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38- Only tailors know!- Can I give you £20 for it, sir?- I can't. No.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41I will have paid more than that for it, unfortunately.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43I'll give you 25 for it.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47- You've got a deal.- Yeah?- Yeah. - A deal? Lovely.- You're welcome.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50So, that's another deal sewn up and Bingo has been busy too
0:07:50 > 0:07:54and spent £190 on yet another table.
0:07:54 > 0:08:00I like it! Six-legged table. It's engineered, isn't it?
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Rather like those Edwardians, Victorians, those great engineers.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08This was the time of the great housing explosion.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10All those Edwardian property developers,
0:08:10 > 0:08:13those lovely red brick homes we see today.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16The lovely architectural detail.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18This would have filled them.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23At £190, I think there's a lot of value in this
0:08:23 > 0:08:27and it's something I want to keep, but I know I've got to sell.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yes, Bingo may be happy
0:08:29 > 0:08:33but his sharp-eyed opponent is showing no signs of stopping either.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Her indoor tactic is proving very fruitful and
0:08:36 > 0:08:40she's just sealed the deal on not one, but two pieces of jewellery.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Look at that!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46I have bought these beautiful Art Deco-style earrings
0:08:46 > 0:08:49and I don't know about you, but I think these are so delicate
0:08:49 > 0:08:53and elegant and they really have the look.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56OK, they're costume jewellery, they're marcasite
0:08:56 > 0:09:00and they're on silver, but they certainly have a wonderful look
0:09:00 > 0:09:04and I think for £20, people will be queuing up to buy these.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07Now, my other piece of costume jewellery is this Victorian
0:09:07 > 0:09:10brooch in the form of a bee.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Once upon a time, in the Victorian era, people went for these insects,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17spiders, bees, and I think today,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20people are still going for these.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22They are more collectible than ever.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26OK, this isn't diamonds, it's not baroque pearls,
0:09:26 > 0:09:31but for £60, it's going to fly away to sweet success.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34So, Catherine's set herself a challenge
0:09:34 > 0:09:36and she's rather proud of herself.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41Well, I told you I would go in there and buy three items and now,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I have come out and bought four.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Beat that, Bingo!
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Canny Catherine has snuck into the lead with four deals to James'
0:09:50 > 0:09:53three, but Bingo's had the outdoor market all to himself
0:09:53 > 0:09:58and our agile auctioneer soon homes in on an antique lawnmower.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Time to get in touch with his inner Titchmarsh.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04This is lovely, isn't it? Just a lovely action, isn't it?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08- And what price do you have on this? - 90.- £90.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11I rather like the blades. Is there any movement?
0:10:12 > 0:10:17- A tenner, that's about as far as I want to go.- £80.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- I'll buy it for 80 quid. - OK.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23It's deal number four for our trading giant
0:10:23 > 0:10:27and he's over the moon with his antique mower.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30I'm loving this item. Look, the Pennsylvania.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's a lovely edging mower.
0:10:32 > 0:10:37So, this is going trickling along, next-door to your herbaceous border.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Now, I've got to find some lawn fanatic and, I tell you,
0:10:41 > 0:10:44they're quite stiff on the ground, old lawn fanatics.
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Probably made in the 1930s, the ash handle's still sound,
0:10:49 > 0:10:51the mechanics are still sound.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I think I've just got the man for this.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57At £80, what's it worth to a fanatic?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00150? 200? Maybe even three!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Ah, yes. Aim high - that's true Braxton style!
0:11:04 > 0:11:08So, with one expert spending big and one spending small,
0:11:08 > 0:11:10let's take a look at the figures.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Our experts each arrived with £750 of their own money.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18James Bingo Braxton has been quick to splash the cash.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22He's snapped up four items for exactly half his budget,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25giving him another £375 to spend.
0:11:25 > 0:11:32Canny Catherine Southon has spent just £160 on her four deals,
0:11:32 > 0:11:35leaving £590 in her kitty.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40Before their buying bonanza continues, time to compare notes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44- Colourful Catherine!- Oh, thank you, James! So, how's it been?- Very good.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Very good. Everywhere I seemed to go, I seemed to like something.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- How about you?- Oh, really?
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Well, to begin with, I've gone to my old faithful shed
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- and I've gone in there and... - Inside?- Yes, inside.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59I thought, I'm definitely going to buy some really good things
0:11:59 > 0:12:02in there, but then, all of a sudden, bum-bum-bum-bum, done.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Lots of bums there. - Lots of bums, yeah. So, pretty good.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Very good, very good. Well, I've just had steady progress...
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Good, good.- And I'm quite pleased with the items I've bought.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16Whether I've bought them for the right price or not, we'll find out.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17We'll see. How's the tan going?
0:12:17 > 0:12:21Very good. Very good, nicely topping up. There's a nice breeze as well,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23so it's a tan without perspiration.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26So, next time I see you, you're going to have all your purchases
0:12:26 > 0:12:29lined up and you're going to be beautifully bronzed.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Not just bronzed, but mahogany!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Ah, the colour of a true furniture fanatic!
0:12:35 > 0:12:38So, pleasantries aside, the battle continues.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Having exhausted her favourite shed,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Catherine's joining her opponent in the open air.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I got the impression James has bounced around quite nicely
0:12:47 > 0:12:50out here and bought pretty comfortably,
0:12:50 > 0:12:53so I'm now going to give it a chance outside and see
0:12:53 > 0:12:56if I can find something maybe a little bit quirky,
0:12:56 > 0:12:58a little bit different.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Well, with Canny Catherine on the prowl,
0:13:00 > 0:13:03Bingo had better watch his back.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06This is probably a time for a bargain.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Why not sell it, rather than pack it?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11But I've got to get a wiggle on because I'm not going to get
0:13:11 > 0:13:14something that's in the back of a van.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18So, while James goes on the hunt for a last minute bargain, sharp-eyed
0:13:18 > 0:13:21Southon is hoping to tee up a profit with an unusual walking stick.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23It's a Sunday stick.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- It's what they call a Sunday stick.- Why is it called
0:13:26 > 0:13:30- a Sunday stick?- Because...- You go out for a walk on a Sunday, golfing!
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Golf was banned in Scotland through the Church on a Sunday.- Oh, right!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37They'd go out with their walking sticks and when no-one was...
0:13:37 > 0:13:40And pretend, when no-one was looking, give it a quick whoosh.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- Evolved into a fashion item. - And this is about...what?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- Late 19th, early 20th?- Yeah. 1910 at the latest.
0:13:47 > 0:13:53- Yeah. And what is the very best you can do on that?- I'll do it 100.
0:13:53 > 0:13:5595 and I'll buy it.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Thank you very much indeed.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01That's deal number five for Catherine
0:14:01 > 0:14:03and she's sure it's a hole-in-one!
0:14:03 > 0:14:07I cannot tell you how happy I am with my Sunday stick.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I've never heard of a Sunday stick before,
0:14:10 > 0:14:13but it's one that I will never forget, for sure.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15This is late 19th century.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19Now, this is essentially a novelty walking stick,
0:14:19 > 0:14:21but wonderful that once upon a time,
0:14:21 > 0:14:26when golf was banned on the Sunday in Scotland, it was also used
0:14:26 > 0:14:31when nobody was looking to give a little hit and hit it is
0:14:31 > 0:14:34because I think this one will certainly be a winner.
0:14:34 > 0:14:40Seeing unusual items like this is why I love this business so much.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44We're entering the final furlong of this fast-paced fair
0:14:44 > 0:14:47and Bingo's thinking out of the box.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Or should that be the basket?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Could you do me a really cheap cat basket?
0:14:53 > 0:14:55The damaged one, that one's £11.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- It's pre-loved.- Pre-loved?
0:14:58 > 0:15:01- Pre-loved.- What does that mean?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04My Jack Russell's abused it and loved it.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- So, pre-loved is pre-owned, is it?- Absolutely.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12- So, what could that be? A fiver? - Yes, go on, then.- Fiver.- Done, sold.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15- You've got yourself a deal. - Well done. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19It may not be his usual flavour of antique, but never fear.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Bingo is a man with a plan.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I live next-door to a cattery - it will be perfect for them.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32A fiver for a pre-loved cat basket. It's not too expensive, is it?
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Yes, shopping with buyers in mind -
0:15:34 > 0:15:37the sign of a true profit hunting professional.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40But what will his rival make of it?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Hi.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44Do you like my little basket?
0:15:44 > 0:15:46Where's your feline gone?
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Where's your cat gone?- It escaped.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52The door... My pre-loved door slipped and it disappeared.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- James, I think that's absolutely brilliant.- Basket...
0:15:55 > 0:15:57- Is that what people like?- Yes.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00How much should I charge somebody for that?
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It's got to be £40, hasn't it?
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Surely, to buy something like this in the shops is about £40, £50.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- You're...- I don't know. I don't have a cat.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14I live next door to a cattery - I thought I'd sell it to them.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- You are a smooth mover!- 50 quid, I think. Don't you?- Smooth mover!
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm impressed!
0:16:20 > 0:16:22And as James saunters on,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26it seems he's left a rather concerned Catherine in his wake.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29It's quite strange because sometimes, the first thing you buy
0:16:29 > 0:16:33and the last thing you buy can be the hardest.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36And quite frankly, I'm struggling. The middle's been fine.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39The beginning and the end have been hard.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43So, while Catherine's losing her mojo, James is chipper
0:16:43 > 0:16:44and joking around.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47This has been a first class antiques fair.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51Everybody's packing up, so I'd better get on post-haste.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Post-haste!
0:16:53 > 0:16:57The clock is ticking and with the end of the day in sight,
0:16:57 > 0:16:59it's time for our brave buyers to do one last
0:16:59 > 0:17:03sprint around the stalls, as they search for a final killer deal.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06The pressure is rising and it's James who's first to
0:17:06 > 0:17:11swoop on a potential profit, as he spots some wooden drawers.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14- So, how much are your drawers, then, chief?- Um... They're nice ones.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17A little bit deeper than the average. These are...
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Is that a good thing? Being deeper? - I think it may be, yeah, you know.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22The other ones can only fit thimbles.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- How much for all five then?- For all five?- Yeah.- 100 quid.- 100 quid.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31£20 apiece and like, individually...25.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- I tell you what, can I buy that top one for 20 quid?- Course you can.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Thank you. - You're not too far out there at all.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Pleasure. You know what's going to happen though, don't you?- What?
0:17:41 > 0:17:44You're going to sell that one so quick, you're going
0:17:44 > 0:17:46to think, "I wish I'd have bought..."
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I know. I'm going to repent at leisure.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52- You think I'm being a fool, do you? - I think...
0:17:52 > 0:17:56Like I say, I've had quite a few of them and this is what's left.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Could you do the other four at 70?
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- They're rough as houses, aren't they?- We'll have a deal at that.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06You've wisen-ed me up now!
0:18:06 > 0:18:08A last minute change of heart
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and James walks away with all five drawers.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15Why, oh why, did I buy these? I wanted to buy one,
0:18:15 > 0:18:21ended up with five, and each one contains 96 divisions.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24They will have come from an electrician's.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28They were all to do with fuses, electrical spare parts when
0:18:28 > 0:18:33everything was assembled, before they were all on circuit boards.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36The 96 divisions cheers me up.
0:18:36 > 0:18:40The five rather bashed drawers gets me rather down.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Well, it's always a numbers game with Bingo,
0:18:44 > 0:18:49and with that, he decides to call it a day and plan his journey home.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51I've covered some ground today
0:18:51 > 0:18:55and I wish I'd found this trusty white steed earlier.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58My advice to you, if you're doing a big antiques fair like this,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01bring one of these.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Nice tip there, Mr B, but remember to return the bike, eh?
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Meanwhile, Catherine's not quite done
0:19:07 > 0:19:10and she appears to be following in Bingo's footsteps.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14- Hello.- Are you all right?- Yes. How much is your bread basket?
0:19:14 > 0:19:18- Bread basket, 20 quid. - Shall I be really honest with you?
0:19:18 > 0:19:21- You've got to be, haven't you? - I have got to be honest with you.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23There's absolutely no way I would pay any more than £5.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26You ARE actually going for profits here, aren't you?
0:19:26 > 0:19:30It's the end of the day, you're trying to pull something out the bag. Have you made a mistake?
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Probably. - Have you overpaid for something?- No!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35You're trying to get it back on this basket.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- What do you mean?- I don't know. It seems like a low offer to me. - No, no, no.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41- You can have it. Give us a fiver.- Can I?
0:19:41 > 0:19:44- Yeah, I'm feeling sorry for you now. - Are you?
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Ah, Catherine plays the end of day sympathy card
0:19:48 > 0:19:51and gets a great deal, but was it a wise purchase?
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The big question - why - jumps out at me.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58At this time of the day, I have just bought my last item
0:19:58 > 0:20:02and I have spent £5 on what can only
0:20:02 > 0:20:05be described as...a basket.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Probably a baker's basket.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11But I have now just got to find someone, preferably a baker,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15- who has a space on his shelf and needs to this to fill it.- Yes.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18So, now, both our experts have a basket to sell.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20Prepare for a war of the whicker!
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Before they come face-to-face, let's take a look at the numbers.
0:20:24 > 0:20:30James and Catherine each arrived in Sussex with a budget of £750.
0:20:30 > 0:20:35James bought six items, costing a total of £470.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Catherine also made six deals but spent very modestly - £260.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Before they head home to start selling,
0:20:43 > 0:20:46they get to check out each other's treasures.
0:20:46 > 0:20:49- Catherine...- Oh!
0:20:49 > 0:20:54The first thing that comes to mind is that you have had...as much
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- difficulty as I have had today. - I know!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- I know!- Am I allowed to say that about your items?
0:21:01 > 0:21:05It's not the finest antiques haul. I like this sort of putter.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- What's going on here? A club.- Do you know what it is?- No.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- A walking stick. Apparently, it's a Sunday stick.- Ah!
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Did you know that? A Sunday stick because it wasn't...
0:21:15 > 0:21:19- You weren't allowed to play golf on a Sunday.- The basket...
0:21:19 > 0:21:22- Oh, don't even go there, James. - Basket...- Do not even go there.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Basket takes on basket.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Well, I saw your basket and I had to have a basket
0:21:27 > 0:21:28and it was the end of the day and...
0:21:28 > 0:21:31I don't even... Can we not talk about that, please?
0:21:31 > 0:21:35I bought a basket and I don't even like cats!
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- I tell you what, that is a corker, the mowery thing.- My edging mower.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Your edging mower. - That is lovely, isn't it?
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- That is absolutely brilliant.- £95. I like your oils.- Do you?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- These are palette knives, are they?- They are.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- There's some good brushes there.- I like a palette knife. Look at that.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55And a good selection of oils.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Come on, I'm going to take you for a cup of tea...- Thank you.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00- ..and a sit down.- And a doughnut. - And a doughnut.
0:22:04 > 0:22:06So, now our duo head home
0:22:06 > 0:22:10and prepare to unleash their inner selling supremos.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's time to forget what's gone before
0:22:13 > 0:22:17and focus purely on profit, as they need to find buyers for all
0:22:17 > 0:22:21their items and haggle their way to tip-top prices.
0:22:21 > 0:22:25Back at Braxton Towers, James is feeling manly!
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Look at my items. They're quite sort of macho, aren't they?
0:22:29 > 0:22:34A rather odd purchase from me - a cat basket. Hm. Chairs.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36They've got a bit of style about them.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40I thought I'd put the chairs that I bought for 40 with the table
0:22:40 > 0:22:45that I bought for 65 and it would be perfect for a cafe. Lawnmower.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48I love this lawnmower. It's an edging lawnmower.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53Looking forward to selling that to a lawn enthusiast. And then my table.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Why have four legs? Why not six? This has got six.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02And sell it to a private buyer who's got a nice sort of Edwardian
0:23:02 > 0:23:04home, it would sit very well in.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And then these fellows. I want to try and double my money on those.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I think we'll feed that on to an antique dealer.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13It's for somebody who can add more value to it.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16I think Catherine got a bit of whicker envy
0:23:16 > 0:23:21and she went for that bread basket. Let's see who makes the most profit.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23My cat basket or her bread basket.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Oh, that sounds like a challenge.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Now, across the home counties in Kent, Catherine is feeling
0:23:29 > 0:23:31manly too!
0:23:31 > 0:23:35I think that I may have gone down a slightly masculine route.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39It all feels a bit kind of woody, now that I'm looking at it.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44The thing that I'm most happy with has to be my Sunday stick.
0:23:44 > 0:23:49I'm thinking that I can probably sell it as a novelty walking stick
0:23:49 > 0:23:54to maybe someone at a golf club, someone with a golfing interest.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56The tailor's rule.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Now, I bought that with someone in mind and I really hope that they
0:23:59 > 0:24:05go for it, but the piece that I really love has to be this air box.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08I think I need to sell it to a private person, an artist,
0:24:08 > 0:24:11someone who is going to buy this, love it,
0:24:11 > 0:24:15take it out and paint some beautiful landscapes with it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Basket envy.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21James was walking around Ardingly, clutching his little cat basket
0:24:21 > 0:24:26and I saw that and I thought I'd like to buy a basket of some description,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28and I bought a bread basket.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I will easily double my money, if not triple it.
0:24:32 > 0:24:38My delicate bee brooch. I think that I have a jeweller in mind for this.
0:24:38 > 0:24:43I was really happy with these Deco earrings when I bought them.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45The only problem is they're modern
0:24:45 > 0:24:48and I think it might put a lot of people off.
0:24:48 > 0:24:52All in all, quite brown, rustic items,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56but let's just hope they make me a sparkling profit.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Now, our daring duo need to hit the phones
0:24:59 > 0:25:01and line up the best potential purchasers for all
0:25:01 > 0:25:04their treasures it requires quickfire research,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07hotshot negotiating and sizzling salesmanship.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Remember, the most profit wins.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12But until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14no deal is ever sealed.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18So, first to hit the road is our glamorous auctioneer,
0:25:18 > 0:25:22as she decides to start her profit quest with her sparkliest items.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25A dealer in Surrey wants to see just one of them,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28but Canny Catherine has a plan.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31I've come along to Dorking to see Hillary,
0:25:31 > 0:25:34who specialises in costume jewellery.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38She's expressed some interest in my bee brooch, but I'm hoping that
0:25:38 > 0:25:43I can sneak the Deco earrings in as well and hope that she'll buy both.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47The brooch and earrings cost £60 and £20 respectively,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50but this canny woman's aiming for a double deal.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- Hi, Hillary.- Oh, hello!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- How are you?- Oh, I'm fine, thank you. - Lovely to see you.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Nice to see that you've got a wonderful cabinet of jewellery.
0:25:58 > 0:26:04- Now, I've brought a couple of items to show you. I bought these.- Right.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07That wasn't a very enthusiastic "right".
0:26:07 > 0:26:09Mm. Well, they're not very old.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11- No, they're not old, but I think they're beautiful.- They are.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- They're really nice Deco-style, aren't they?- Yes, they are.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17They are lovely.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- And the other piece? - The... Oh, OK. OK, here we are.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Ooh!
0:26:22 > 0:26:24- You like that.- I do.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27It's going to be a lot of money, I suppose.
0:26:27 > 0:26:33Well, it is going to be a bit, yes. Um... I would like...
0:26:33 > 0:26:35- How does 150 sound?- It sounds a lot!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Too much. OK.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42I'd probably like to do...125.
0:26:42 > 0:26:43125, OK.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46All right, I'm happy with that.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Yes?- 125 is fine. Are you interested in these?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51At a price.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55They'd have to be very cheap for me to buy them in.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- What would you pay for those? - Not a lot.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58What's "not a lot"?
0:26:58 > 0:27:00£30, then.
0:27:00 > 0:27:06- £30.- £30 would have to be the death. - Right. OK. So, 30 and 125.- And 125.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08- Is 155.- 155.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10I'm happy with that. They're yours.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14All I need now... All I need now is a handshake and some money.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17- Thank you.- Wonderful. Thank you. That's easy.
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Well, savvy Southon worked her magic and nets herself
0:27:20 > 0:27:25a profit of £10 on the earrings and a buzzing £65 on the brooch.
0:27:29 > 0:27:35Two items sold, two profits. What do you think about that, Bingo?
0:27:35 > 0:27:37Ooh, she's confident!
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Meanwhile, in Sussex, James' first customers are waiting patiently.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43They sense their master approach.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Connoisseurs of whicker, their leader has leapt over
0:27:46 > 0:27:49the garden fence with a cat carrier in hand.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54Yes, it's Bingo "Basket-man" Braxton!
0:27:54 > 0:27:57I have come to see a near neighbour of mine,
0:27:57 > 0:28:01Sue, who runs a very smart luxury cattery, a sort of cats' hotel.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05When she hears the price, let's hope she doesn't have kittens!
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Hey, Sue.- Hello, James. How are you? - Very good. How are you?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Nice to see you. You well?- Very well, thank you.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14And who's your little occupant in here?
0:28:14 > 0:28:16- This is young Barney...- Barney.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19..who just arrived yesterday, so he's just settling in.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- He's settling in.- Yes.- Oh, that's good.- Nice little chap.- Now, Sue.
0:28:23 > 0:28:27I bought this very much with you in mind. Is this a familiar object?
0:28:27 > 0:28:28We have seen one or two, yes.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31Bang on trend, this. Bang on trend.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Shabby chic, I think we say. - Shabby chic!
0:28:34 > 0:28:39Now, if I said to you, Sue, £60, would you think I was barking mad?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Barking mad is a good thing to say in a cattery.- Is it?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45It's not the perfect price.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48- £15?- I tell you what, Sue, special price, 40.
0:28:48 > 0:28:5025!
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- How about that?- 25. I tell you what...- It would be very useful.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56£30 and you've got yourself a deal.
0:28:56 > 0:29:01- Go on, then. £30.- Well done, Sue. It's yours!- Thank you very much.
0:29:01 > 0:29:06- A prize basket. Treasure it!- All I need is a kitten to put inside.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09- BINGO LAUGHS - You can have the kitten and I'll take the cash. That would be lovely.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Fair enough.- Lead on.
0:29:12 > 0:29:16Bravo, Bingo! That's a profit of £25 on his very first sale.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21That was a purr-fect profit. Beat that, Catherine.
0:29:21 > 0:29:24So, the basket battle lines are drawn,
0:29:24 > 0:29:26but Bingo is not stopping there.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29That rusty metal table and chairs are next on his hit-list.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33He's brought them to show a dealer in Lewes, and having spent
0:29:33 > 0:29:38£110 on them at Ardingly, he needs to unleash his best selling pitch.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43- Hello, James.- Hello, Andre. Very nice... Very good to see you.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Now, in all the time I've known you, Andre,
0:29:45 > 0:29:50you have always been at the forefront of these lovely
0:29:50 > 0:29:54sort of continental three-legged tables, which I love as well.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57On the whole, they always were quite popular, even in the past.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59I'm putting the chairs with it.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03They're still sound, in spite... I like the sort of, that salty patina.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05They look as though somebody's shoved them
0:30:05 > 0:30:07in the sea for a bit, don't they?
0:30:07 > 0:30:11- Special price.- Oh, right. - For the lot, 160.
0:30:11 > 0:30:14Yeah, I would say about 90 quid
0:30:14 > 0:30:16and that's being generous.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19115 and it's all yours, all five items.
0:30:19 > 0:30:20110, then, OK.
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- 115?- 110! 110, I said, come on, come on!- Ah.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Here we go, James, you are a good chap,
0:30:26 > 0:30:28I'll write you a cheque for it.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30So, that banks Bingo just a fiver,
0:30:30 > 0:30:33and with three of his six items sold,
0:30:33 > 0:30:35he's way behind in the profit stakes.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Two items down but streaking ahead, canny Catherine is in Bromley, Kent,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42travelling paint set in hand,
0:30:42 > 0:30:43to show art teacher Roger.
0:30:43 > 0:30:46It cost her £55.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47Hi, Roger.
0:30:47 > 0:30:50- Hello, Catherine.- Hi, how are you doing?- Nice to see you.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53I have brought you, I believe, an air box.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Oh!- Is that what they call them?
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- Yes, a travelling case. - A travelling artist's box.- Yes.
0:30:59 > 0:31:03Gosh, this is a substantial box, isn't it?
0:31:03 > 0:31:08- Travelling cases are useful. - Right, OK, do you have one?
0:31:08 > 0:31:13I don't have one quite like this, actually. It, erm, looks very nice.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Do you think this is something that you would be interested in?
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Erm, yes, I, erm...
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I like the aspect of it.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23It's a substantial box, got a nice handle...
0:31:23 > 0:31:25- Yes, it has.- ..and lockable, well, clips anyway...
0:31:25 > 0:31:28- Nice clips, yes.- ..to hold it. And it's also lined.
0:31:28 > 0:31:33- I think it's lead-lined. - Lead-lined, it is.- It's very nice.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38I would like somewhere in excess of 100.
0:31:38 > 0:31:39Let's say 80. Could we go 80?
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Could we go 90? That's a nicer half?- Hmm...
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- How about 85?- Go on, then. 85, that sounds good to me.
0:31:49 > 0:31:53Yes, that's another £30 into Catherine's profit purse.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56And she rounds it off when she sells her tailor's rule to
0:31:56 > 0:31:59a dealer in Hungerford for a profit of £10.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02And with that fourth sale under her belt,
0:32:02 > 0:32:05just how far ahead of Bingo is she now?
0:32:05 > 0:32:07Let's have a look at the books.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14James has so far sold three of his items but only made a profit of £30.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17But Catherine has stormed into the lead.
0:32:17 > 0:32:23She's struck four deals and taken a decent profit of £115.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29So, it's been a one-horse race so far, but with half his items
0:32:29 > 0:32:33still to sell, Bingo isn't giving up any time soon.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36He didn't have much success with his metal furniture,
0:32:36 > 0:32:39but he's hoping his wooden table will be much luckier.
0:32:39 > 0:32:43It cost him a whopping £190, and he's brought it to St Leonards
0:32:43 > 0:32:47on the sunny Sussex coast to show it to furniture dealer Robert.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51Robert, I had to fight very hard to find a little floor space to
0:32:51 > 0:32:54put this table on. You are packed here, aren't you?
0:32:54 > 0:32:57Right, we are a little bit, just a bit!
0:32:57 > 0:32:59And it's just what I needed was another piece of furniture(!)
0:32:59 > 0:33:01I know!
0:33:01 > 0:33:02Six legged...
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- ..mahogany and, er, bit of rosewood. - Yeah.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09- Very nice, Liberty style?- Oh!
0:33:09 > 0:33:13- I'm liking it.- Is it?- Well, I think it is. I think definitely the shape.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- It's not one of those dull Edwardian ones, is it?- No.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21It's got that sort of Arts & Craftsy look about it, which is fun.
0:33:21 > 0:33:26Anyway, Robert, the nutty business price, I wanted £280 for it.
0:33:28 > 0:33:29I could give you two.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33- What, 200?- It's in nice condition, I'm not knocking the condition.
0:33:33 > 0:33:38Could you narrow your margins a bit for me, Robert, and do 240?
0:33:40 > 0:33:42- I couldn't. I couldn't.- 240? - I like it a lot.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46But I think, to be honest,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49there's a very small profit in that for me at 200 quid.
0:33:49 > 0:33:50Last and final offer...
0:33:50 > 0:33:54- It's not next week. - 220 and we'll touch hands.
0:33:55 > 0:33:57You know it makes sense.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59JAMES LAUGHS
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Well, it's not a massive profit at £30,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05but it doubles his total so far.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10Ah, well, I was jolly lucky to find space in that shop,
0:34:10 > 0:34:14and Robert was jolly lucky to buy yet another item of stock.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17But, in the end, a good little working profit.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Wow! Beggars can't be choosers! With Bingo under the cosh,
0:34:21 > 0:34:25canny Catherine swoops in to conclude the war of the wicker!
0:34:27 > 0:34:29OK, Bingo, this is war!
0:34:29 > 0:34:32You've got a basket, I've got a basket.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34I'm in Sevenoaks with mine.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36Who's going to make the biggest profit?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Our daring duo spent just a fiver each on their baskets
0:34:39 > 0:34:43and Bingo has already banked £25 profit on his.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Catherine has brought hers to show cafe owner Tim,
0:34:45 > 0:34:49so let the Battle of the Baskets commence!
0:34:49 > 0:34:53- Hi, you must be Tim!- I am. Hiya. - Nice to meet you.- You, too.
0:34:53 > 0:34:54Right, I bring you gifts.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Lovely, very nice, yeah. It's very much in keeping with
0:34:58 > 0:35:03- the kind of style that we have, so, yeah.- Yeah, it's quite a rustic theme, isn't it?- Yeah, no, I like it.
0:35:03 > 0:35:06OK, so it comes down to money. How much?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Er, I'll give you £15 for it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:1115.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16Would you make it a nice round 20 and make me very happy?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20I would give you £15 and make you a nice coffee.
0:35:22 > 0:35:25All right, then. I need a coffee! CATHERINE LAUGHS
0:35:25 > 0:35:29Yes, that caffeine addiction has cost Catherine dearly.
0:35:29 > 0:35:32She makes just £10 and loses the battle of the baskets,
0:35:32 > 0:35:35which makes Bingo King of the Wicker!
0:35:36 > 0:35:39And back in Sussex, King Braxton himself
0:35:39 > 0:35:41has lined up a meeting with Viv,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43who runs a garden machinery company.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47James is hoping he'll be interested in his metal edging mower
0:35:47 > 0:35:49which cost him £80.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52Look at this - poetry in motion!
0:35:52 > 0:35:53What have we got here?
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- I think I'm strimming your vinyl. Viv, hello.- I see.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59- James. How are you? - Hello, James. I'm Viv. Hello to you.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02- Very good.- Well, you've had that long time, obviously.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Yeah, I've come to the right place.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07- Yes.- Viv, you are the expert.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I thought this is...
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Is it for mowing the edges between the grass and a border?
0:36:12 > 0:36:14A floral border?
0:36:14 > 0:36:17- It's actually for up against a wall. - A wall...!
0:36:17 > 0:36:22- Which is why you've got a flat side down here...- Yeah.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24..and it's before the strimmer was invented
0:36:24 > 0:36:26to tidy all the edges up.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30That would go right down... And, specifically, for gravestones.
0:36:30 > 0:36:31Ah!
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Every churchyard would have one for cutting around by the gravestones.
0:36:35 > 0:36:36Can you...? Have you seen many of these?
0:36:36 > 0:36:40I haven't seen these before, but you can still get them.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43- What, buy them?!- Yes! It's in remarkably good condition.
0:36:43 > 0:36:45They were last made in about 1960.
0:36:45 > 0:36:49- Really.- Yes, they were made from about 1927 to 1960.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53Anyway, Viv, you would make my day if you gave me 120 quid for this.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56All right, James, you've twisted my arm.
0:36:56 > 0:36:58- What?- £120.
0:36:58 > 0:36:59You could have £120 for it.
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Viv, you're very kind, indeed!
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Thank you very much indeed.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06What a great salesman - not even a counterbid!
0:37:06 > 0:37:10And at £40 profit, it's Bingo's biggest deal so far.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12So it's time for one final killer deal
0:37:12 > 0:37:14and he's headed home for this one.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18The man I'm awaiting, I've known for over 30 years.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21He's an antique dealer and, bizarrely, he happens to live
0:37:21 > 0:37:23in the same village as me,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26so it's two gentlemen of the parish clashing.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Anyway, we're going to clash over these five drawers.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31The drawers cost James a sizeable £90,
0:37:31 > 0:37:34and he's given one of them a paint job
0:37:34 > 0:37:36in the hope of enticing dealer Lloyd to buy.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41This... It's rather like Blue Peter -
0:37:41 > 0:37:43this is before and after, OK?
0:37:43 > 0:37:47Did you paint this was a loo brush with no bristles?
0:37:47 > 0:37:49No, I painted it with a brush,
0:37:49 > 0:37:50I did it in a bit of a hurry,
0:37:50 > 0:37:53and I used a lime-based paint,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56- which I probably shouldn't have done.- How extraordinary!
0:37:56 > 0:37:59What do you see? How do you see them, Lloyd?
0:37:59 > 0:38:02Well, we have a pair of drawers and one free.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05- Two for the price of one. - OK, OK. Shall I put that away?
0:38:05 > 0:38:07I know it's slightly offends you.
0:38:07 > 0:38:08So we have now a pair and a pair.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10You can get that free.
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I was thinking 90 a pair.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15£30 pair and that is a £60.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18How about 100? £100.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Can't be done, James. It's madness.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23What are we going to put these holes?
0:38:23 > 0:38:25- 90.- I can't do it.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I'll give you £80, end of story.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28Put it there, Lloyd.
0:38:28 > 0:38:29I knew you would!
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Well, Lloyd was a tough customer
0:38:31 > 0:38:34and Bingo's balance sheet takes a £10 loss,
0:38:34 > 0:38:36but he's still feeling chipper.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38That was the last sale.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41I may have lost that little battle,
0:38:41 > 0:38:44but have I possibly won the campaign?
0:38:44 > 0:38:46I can't wait to find out, Catherine.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48That's the spirit, Bingo!
0:38:48 > 0:38:52Your canny opponent has one final item to sell, as well,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54and it's been causing her sleepless nights.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Well, I don't mind telling you it hasn't been easy
0:38:58 > 0:39:00trying to sell this Sunday stick.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04First of all, I thought about selling it to a golf club,
0:39:04 > 0:39:05but that didn't prove possible.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08So, instead I've come to London
0:39:08 > 0:39:11to see leading cane specialist Dominic.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Well, I hope she's right,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15as it was her most expensive item from the antiques fair,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18so there's a lot riding on this.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- Hi, Dominic.- Hello.- Fancy seeing you here.- Nice to see you.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- How are you?- Wonderful, thank you.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27- It's lovely to be here and see all these canes.- You're very welcome.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30I have never actually seen so many canes, all in one place.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I'd love to know how many have you actually got here?
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Well, it's a frightening question, and we're asked it often.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39And the truth is, I don't really know.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41Well, I've got something for you
0:39:41 > 0:39:43and I'm hoping you're not going say,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- "Oh, I've got 50 of those. I don't need it."- Unlikely.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48Ah-ha.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49Is this a Sunday stick?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52You're absolutely right, it is. That's exactly what it is.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55They come in different sizes and different shapes,
0:39:55 > 0:39:58and this one is one with a traditional wood head.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01Sometimes they come with the iron head.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04But primarily they were putters.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06- So, it's a novelty cane.- It is.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09- Which had a sort of added bonus. - It did.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13And also, it's a good one because it is a genuine Sunday cane.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15Sometimes they're just golf putters turned upside down.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17So, is it something you'd be interested in?
0:40:17 > 0:40:19That's the million-dollar question.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Well, I think it's certainly something we'd be interested in,
0:40:22 > 0:40:25certainly the sort of thing we've sold in the past,
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- and you better tell me what you're thinking of.- Right.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I'll be totally honest with you,
0:40:30 > 0:40:32I paid £95 for this.
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Perhaps we could do...140.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38OK. All right. Well, that's really kind.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41And... And, for me, it's really fantastic
0:40:41 > 0:40:44that it is coming to you, to the right person.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47I think it will sit beautifully with the other walking sticks.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Well, it will eventually go to a very good home, I'm sure.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51I'm sure. Hopefully, a golfer.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53Indeed. Somebody who could practice.
0:40:53 > 0:40:55- Well, thank you very much. - You're welcome.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Catherine banks a tidy £45 profit
0:40:57 > 0:40:59on the Sunday stick
0:40:59 > 0:41:01and with that our daring duo are sold out.
