0:00:03 > 0:00:06the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:06 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Let's make hay while that sun shines.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Each week, one pair of duelling dealers will face a different
0:00:16 > 0:00:18- daily challenge. - I've got a heavy profit here.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Putting their reputations on the line...
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Who's there?
0:00:23 > 0:00:26..they'll give you the insider's view of the trade...
0:00:26 > 0:00:27HE GROWLS
0:00:27 > 0:00:29..along with their top tips
0:00:29 > 0:00:30and savvy secrets...
0:00:30 > 0:00:32That could present a problem for me.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..showing you how to make the most money...
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Ready for battle.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39..from buying and selling.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Get in there.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Coming up, James reveals the hidden dangers of sailing...
0:00:46 > 0:00:47It's lignum vitae.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50It's the only wood that'll actually sink.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53..Kate uncovers a Victorian craft...
0:00:53 > 0:00:57It's actually burnt on with a really fine, hot needle point
0:00:57 > 0:01:02and then it's stained to bring that lovely floral design up in relief.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05..and someone proves popular with the buyers.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07I've come here to sell you something.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Oh, no.- Yeah, I'm afraid so. I'm afraid so.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32From the Peterborough Festival of Antiques,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35this is Strictly Come Dealing.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Please give a warm welcome to your talented contestants.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41First, it's the prima ballerina of buying.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44With a spring in her step, her antiques knowledge is on point
0:01:44 > 0:01:48and her selling spins are dizzying but perfectly placed.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52It's Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55I'm looking for something of really top quality.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58And determined to be the lord of the dealing dance,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01it's the sure-footed, twinkle toes of treasures.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05He's going to groove over the gold and tap dance on the trophies.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08It's James "Bingo" Braxton.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11We're just generally sort of groping around, aren't we?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14And it's a good job they've been rehearsing hard
0:02:14 > 0:02:16as our heirloom hunters are facing each other
0:02:16 > 0:02:19at one of the largest antiques fairs in Europe.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23With over 1,000 stalls to quick-step around, inside and out,
0:02:23 > 0:02:27our dancing dealers must tango towards the most profitable pieces
0:02:27 > 0:02:29without missing a beat.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34They've each got £750 of their own money to spend
0:02:34 > 0:02:37and all the profits go to their chosen charities.
0:02:37 > 0:02:42So, Kate Bliss and James Braxton, it's time to sew on those sequins
0:02:42 > 0:02:45and put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Morning.- Morning, Kate. How are you?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Yeah, well. We're here in Peterborough.- Peterborough and look.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54I didn't know antiques were fashionable again. Look at this.
0:02:54 > 0:02:55I know. They're queuing to get in.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- All queuing to get in and we're here early birds, aren't we?- Yeah.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Well, you know what they say. - Early bird catches the worm.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Yeah. What are you going to be looking for?
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Erm...I'm going to be looking for mainly bargains. And you?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I don't know about you but I've got a bit of a feeling
0:03:10 > 0:03:11about a big spend today.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- A big spend? Well, you've got £750. - Yeah, a lot of money.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- A lot of money.- And it's a big fair, isn't it?- It is a big fair.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- I've got my walking shoes on. - Well done.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I think there's a bit of ground to cover.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24- I don't know about you but I'm going to beat that queue.- OK, hurry.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25See you later.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28So our dealers are going to be foxtrotting to a different beat
0:03:28 > 0:03:30at this antiques fair.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32James is planning to keep a close eye on his wallet,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35while Kate wants to splash the cash.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Staying at opposite ends of the buying scale
0:03:37 > 0:03:39in order to outwit the competition.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40Very clever.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44But Miss Bliss has other plans afoot.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Now, in the past, I've had some really good finds from this fair
0:03:48 > 0:03:50and there's loads to go at here.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53I did say to James I'd like to spend a little bit of money
0:03:53 > 0:03:54but basically it depends what's here.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57So I'm going to have a really open mind.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59James seemed particularly relaxed this morning
0:03:59 > 0:04:02but I think the key is before the sun's up
0:04:02 > 0:04:03to get round those stalls
0:04:03 > 0:04:06because hordes of people are going to be descending.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08So Kate is eager to beat the crowds
0:04:08 > 0:04:13but what cunning plan does Bingo have up his sleeve?
0:04:13 > 0:04:16My strategy is really to get involved.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20I think we've got an opportunity here - it's still only 8 o'clock -
0:04:20 > 0:04:21to get those bargains.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25There's a lot of people here and here is my opportunity
0:04:25 > 0:04:29to secure them before the vandal hordes arrive.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32Yes. So both our professional prancers have,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34unbeknown to each other,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37hatched a synced-up plan to get ahead of the masses.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39This could be a close conga.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Bingo has done his warm up and, feeling flexible,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45boogies on over to a backgammon board that he likes the look of.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49But a closer inspection reveals a dirty little secret.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Oh, there's damage there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54There's always damage on these things.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56How much on your board?
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- It's 55.- 55.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I'll take a tenner off it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:0345? It's just the damage here, isn't it?
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Oh, I suppose had it been perfect it would have been a lot more.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08They used to be made in Damascus.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10- I wonder if they're still making them now.- I don't know
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- but it's got a lot of work in it. - There's a lot of work in it.
0:05:13 > 0:05:1440 quid. Go on, then.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17There we are. Thank you very much indeed, sir.
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Yes, a short shrift deal there
0:05:19 > 0:05:22and James secures his first buy of the day.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25This is probably made in Damascus, the capital of Syria.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27It's a backgammon set.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31We've got chess on the outside and it's this tessera marquetry.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33I had a specialism of Tunbridge ware,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35which is exactly the same.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38It's these little canes that are cut
0:05:38 > 0:05:42and this sort of very complex geometry here.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Got a couple of losses, a bit of damage there...
0:05:45 > 0:05:47and a bit of damage there.
0:05:47 > 0:05:48It's not hugely old.
0:05:48 > 0:05:53It's not 19th century but it's not bad, it's got some age.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57And it's a good size and at £40, bit of a bargain.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Yes, James is so far sticking to his thrifty strategy
0:06:00 > 0:06:02but what of our big-spender, Kate?
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Well, she's sashayed over to something she hopes
0:06:05 > 0:06:07will speed her to the finish line.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- A nice sturdy one, isn't it? - It is, yeah.- Made for speed.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- How much is that?- 25.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16What's the name on it, then?
0:06:16 > 0:06:20- Davos.- Yeah, what's that? - We bought it in France.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Would you take a tenner?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25- What's your best?- 20.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Go on, then. I like that.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- Great, that'll do.- Thank you.- Thank you. Let me find you some money.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It's not quite the big-money item she was looking for
0:06:37 > 0:06:40but at least that haggle was no uphill struggle.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I saw this, and it brings back so many happy memories
0:06:43 > 0:06:46of tobogganing. I don't think you're ever too old to toboggan.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49I think it's probably French.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Everything looks like it's original.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54You've got a bit of rust to the runners here, as you would expect.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Probably dates from the '50s, maybe a little bit later,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01and you've got a stamp here on the top - Davos.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Now, I don't know what that is.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06It's either the manufacturer, maybe the place where it came from,
0:07:06 > 0:07:07so I'm going to be looking that up.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11But for £20...I think that's great.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15But even-stevens is not enough for our ambitious girl
0:07:15 > 0:07:17and she quickly pirouettes into the lead,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21spearing some early-20th-century pickle forks for £40.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26I don't normally go for little...pickle forks
0:07:26 > 0:07:27but this is such a sweet little set.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31You've got a pair with mother-of-pearl handles
0:07:31 > 0:07:33and little silver forks on the end there.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Just a neat little set, isn't it?
0:07:35 > 0:07:39And they'll come in handy if Kate ever gets herself into a pickle.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'Ere. Yes? No? Anyone? Oh, never mind.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46Meanwhile, Bingo's been moonwalking tirelessly around the fair
0:07:46 > 0:07:49and seems ready for a little sit down.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52How much on your stools?
0:07:52 > 0:07:55- They're £15 each.- Can you lift one off? Can I just see?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- They look very well constructed. - Oh, they are.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03You can upcycle them and do them in nice...
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Upcycle them.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Goh, don't know if I've got the energy, sir, for upcycling.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Haven't got the energy?
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Well, Bingo, fame costs,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17and right here is where you start paying...with sweat.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Do you think I might go through?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Very good for the posture.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Shall I have a punt, then?- Go on.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Have you got six good ones?
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Four rubbers, lots of rust.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32Rubbers on that.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Just check the rubbers.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37I don't like that one, hasn't got any rubbers.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Yes, if ever there were a discerning customer, it's our Bingo.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45That looks a very fine one.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I want to leave you with some.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Oh, I thought you wanted six?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50No, I think four.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Mrs Bingo might be delighted to paint these.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56But then I've got to cut all the wood...
0:08:56 > 0:08:59There's a lot of work to be done.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Clever James knows it can pay to lay it on thick before attempting a haggle.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Now, the price.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10It's a lot of work and what do they say, sir? "Don't buy work."
0:09:10 > 0:09:14I keep saying it to myself. What am I doing? How about 50, sir?
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- 55, sir.- 55. Thank you very much indeed, sir.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Yes, a steady performance there from James,
0:09:19 > 0:09:24securing the stools for £5 under the asking price.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Made in Belgium, they're really solid.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31These have done a lifetime's work already
0:09:31 > 0:09:36and yet here is Bingo Braxton, he's going to save them,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40he's going to repaint them, he's going to reseat them,
0:09:40 > 0:09:45and give them a new lease of life - not in Belgium but in England.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Wow, that purchase has left Bingo pepped up and full of pizzazz.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53And whilst he's high-kicking to his heart's content outdoors,
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Kate has sneaked inside and is cosying up
0:09:56 > 0:09:58to a late-Victorian cake stand.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02It's quite a decorative one, isn't it?
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- What's that going to be?- 48.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09It's a nice little bit of pokerwork. I particularly like this handle.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Could you do a wee bit less for me?
0:10:12 > 0:10:1545. That's it.
0:10:15 > 0:10:1745...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Couldn't do 40? A round figure?
0:10:19 > 0:10:23- No.- I'll probably lose money if I go down to 40, so 45 is a bit better.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24That's fair enough.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26OK, yeah, let's do it. I like it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:2745.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33Hm, so Kate settles on just a £3 discount. Very out of character.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Perhaps she knows something that we don't.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41So what we've got here is a really lovely three-tier cake stand.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44You don't normally see them so highly-ornate.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47And the word for this type of decoration is known as pokerwork.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51So the flowers and ribbons here aren't painted on
0:10:51 > 0:10:53or inlaid like marquetry.
0:10:53 > 0:10:58It's actually burnt on with a really fine, hot needle point
0:10:58 > 0:11:02and then it's stained to bring that lovely floral design up in relief.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05And it's the same here with this chequered handle.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08I can feel an afternoon tea coming on.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12But before leading lady Kate has a chance to put the kettle on,
0:11:12 > 0:11:16she spots something sparkly that she thinks might look great with her costume.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Pretty, very pretty.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- Do you think they're '70s? - Possibly, yeah.
0:11:21 > 0:11:22Yeah.
0:11:22 > 0:11:27So, pair of little earrings, they've got the old-fashioned little screw backs.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32The nice thing about them is that the enamel is absolutely perfect.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37They're a really sweet pink colour, aren't they?
0:11:37 > 0:11:39What's the very best on those?
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I can only go to 48.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Couldn't do 40? No.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- Have to be 48.- Have to be 48.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54I quite fancy them myself.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58This is a competition, not a shopping spree.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Always a good sign if you want them yourself.
0:12:02 > 0:12:0448, did you say?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Yes, buy what you like and like what you buy.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11But when Miss Bliss parts with them, will they turn her a profit?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14Now I am super chuffed with these.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16They're probably '70s and vintage jewellery
0:12:16 > 0:12:20from this sort of period is really coming back in at the moment.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22They are Norwegian silver enamelled.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Now, the Scandinavians are really good at enamelling.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28You can really see the quality.
0:12:28 > 0:12:32They're on silver and the silver's actually been engraved
0:12:32 > 0:12:35with tiny little flowers on each of the petals
0:12:35 > 0:12:40before the pink enamel was laid over the top.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Perfect condition... I love 'em.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46So, will Kate bring the dance floor to a halt with those bobby-dazzlers?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Stay tuned to find out.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Our challengers have cha-chaed their way to the halfway mark,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55so time to foxtrot off and check on the scores so far.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00From a £750 budget,
0:13:00 > 0:13:04James Braxton has bought two items so far and has spent thriftily,
0:13:04 > 0:13:09just £95, leaving him with £655 to play with.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Kate Bliss has bought four items but isn't exactly breaking the bank.
0:13:14 > 0:13:19Spending just £153, leaving £597 still in the kitty.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- There you are.- There we are, yeah.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- Have you been hiding?- No, I haven't. I've been lurking.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31I've been doing very much the outside stalls but...
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Have you found anything?
0:13:32 > 0:13:36I've bought some items and I've bought work again.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- Work?- Oh, dear.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42I've got to paint it, I've got to make seats.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44It's all going to look very home-made.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- You're going to be busy.- I'm going to be busy, no tele for me.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49Have you spent much money?
0:13:49 > 0:13:51Not enough. I need a big purchase.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53- What about you?- I don't know about you but I'm finding it
0:13:53 > 0:13:56really hard to spend a lot of money. I'm really pleased with what I've
0:13:56 > 0:13:59bought. I've bought a few things but they're all less than £100.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I'm not deliberately not spending much.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I'm just not finding anything that I like that's really expensive.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- Come on, get your wallet out, girl. - I'm normally quite good at that.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- Come on.- What about you? You're normally a big splash-the-cash man.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13- Yeah. Get that wad out.- Yeah.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I'm just getting into my stride, I think.- OK, good luck.
0:14:16 > 0:14:17See you later.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21So, both our dealers are finding it difficult to splash their cash
0:14:21 > 0:14:23and Kate has waltzed back indoors.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28Well, I'm glad James is finding it hard to spend money too.
0:14:28 > 0:14:29Now, I think I've left him outside.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32I've come inside to these quite dark sheds.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34There's some really nice things in here,
0:14:34 > 0:14:37so I'm looking for something of really top quality.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Miss Bliss is twisting and turning amongst the indoor stalls but
0:14:40 > 0:14:45she won't be alone for long as James is about to stamp his way inside.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50There's some very good stuff in these sheds.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52From memory - I haven't been to Peterborough for about...
0:14:53 > 0:14:55..a long time, about five, eight years -
0:14:55 > 0:14:59but I remember these sheds, these open sheds were very good,
0:14:59 > 0:15:00so let's go.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Now, frontrunner Kate has clicked her castanets
0:15:03 > 0:15:05over to a silver sugar shaker
0:15:05 > 0:15:07with a price tag of £139.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09And it's all about to get serious.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12- Danish silver?- Yes.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14But the good thing is, you can actually date it
0:15:14 > 0:15:19cos there is a little number 22 underneath for 1922.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21I thought it was English, funnily enough.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24I thought it was English Arts & Crafts.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27But now I've seen that it isn't, which makes me want it
0:15:27 > 0:15:30for a little bit less money.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33- Right...- Um...
0:15:33 > 0:15:37- I'll give you one price.- Yes.- No further negotiations.- Oh, dear. OK.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40£95.
0:15:41 > 0:15:4295?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45I'm going to have a think.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Hm, so not even a £44 discount
0:15:48 > 0:15:51has convinced Miss Bliss to splash the cash.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55But, hold your horses, does she have a sneaky double deal in mind?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58It seems so when she clocks, well, a clock.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01It came off a factory wall in France.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Obviously had an electric motor in it originally
0:16:03 > 0:16:06but they run on a different voltage to us...
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- Right.- ..hence it's now converted to quartz.
0:16:08 > 0:16:13But underneath the motor it had the exact day and year it was made.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14- Is that right?- 1954.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16I wouldn't be averse to having that on my wall.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Exactly, yeah.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20And it's a really nice decorator's piece.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21What's your best on that, then?
0:16:21 > 0:16:24- What does it say, 110 on it?- Yeah.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27Er...I would need 85 for that.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30OK.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Hm, you can almost hear the cogs turning.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36And if I took the sugar shaker?
0:16:36 > 0:16:38We said 95, didn't we?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41- Yeah.- Um...- If we took the two...
0:16:41 > 0:16:44OK, shall we say...
0:16:44 > 0:16:4880, and 90 for the caster. That would be it.
0:16:48 > 0:16:5180, and 90 for the caster. That's 170.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54OK, I was hoping for 150.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57So if I meet you in the middle at 160?
0:16:57 > 0:16:58Cash.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- Can we say 165?- 165.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02- Yeah?- Yeah.- Is that a nod?
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- I'm happy with that.- Are you?- Yes.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- Sure?- Sure.- Fantastic.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11That was a masterclass. Kate bought in bulk and drove the price down.
0:17:11 > 0:17:15£80 for the clock and £85 for the sugar shaker.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18Now, I saw this right at the back of the stall
0:17:18 > 0:17:21and was quite excited because I love Arts & Crafts silver.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24It's got all the hallmarks of that, hammered finish,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27lovely little cast frieze.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30It is, of course, a sugar shaker, but looking at it more closely,
0:17:30 > 0:17:33you can see it's got Danish marks on the bottom
0:17:33 > 0:17:36and a date number for 1922.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40So one good purchase and something completely different.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Now, I love this because of its simplicity, actually.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46It's got a really heavy cast-aluminium frame,
0:17:46 > 0:17:50a very industrial look, which is quite in at the moment.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53And quite a simple face with these baton numerals
0:17:53 > 0:17:56that harks back to the '30s, really, the Art Deco movement.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Now, it's a shame that a hole has been cut in the back
0:17:59 > 0:18:01but it does mean that it's working.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04Shove a battery in and it's good to go.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Talking of which, time ticking, I better crack on.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Indeed, and Captain Bingo has already set sail,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14securing a ship's wheel for £50...
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Thank you. Thank you. Really kind.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19..which he hopes will steer him to victory.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24As master of the ship, I would expect to be probably...
0:18:24 > 0:18:28It's power boaty. It doesn't seem big enough for a sail ship.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31So it's probably a little fishing boat.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35What I like about this item - it's got some real weight
0:18:35 > 0:18:38and weight with wood is often associated
0:18:38 > 0:18:40with a wood called lignum vitae.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43It's the only wood that'll actually sink.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47Whether there's any merit in having a wheel on a ship
0:18:47 > 0:18:52that will actually sink is, er, up for grabs, really, isn't it?
0:18:52 > 0:18:58But I like it. £50, great fun. Try and sell this to a ship builder.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01He's a man with a plan and, at this vital stage of the competition,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04having a cast iron course of action is key.
0:19:04 > 0:19:08I want to find something that sort of grabs me, grasps me,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10you know, with two hands.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14I want an item of quality. Until I find it, I'm not going to buy anything.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Ooh, well, that told us!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Now, Kate has been sauntering around the stalls,
0:19:19 > 0:19:23and, having spied a collection of late-Victorian matchboxes,
0:19:23 > 0:19:25has struck upon a bright idea.
0:19:25 > 0:19:30Now I've just spotted some little advertising vesta cases in there.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33Now I know a collector in Herefordshire who I think
0:19:33 > 0:19:36would love these but I'm not sure whether those are the right ones.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39So I'm just going to give him a call and have a chat.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42But this collector is no pushover.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45But it's something you MIGHT be interested in? OK. Thanks, Ewan.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Nice to talk to you. Bye.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Well, it sounds like he might be interested but if not,
0:19:52 > 0:19:54there's definitely a demand for them,
0:19:54 > 0:19:56so we'd better go and have a chat.
0:19:56 > 0:19:57Of course, he might not like them
0:19:57 > 0:20:01and remember, nothing is decided until that all-important handshake,
0:20:01 > 0:20:03but Kate is going to put her money where her mouth is
0:20:03 > 0:20:05and take the risk.
0:20:05 > 0:20:06Here goes.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09What could you do if I took those two?
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Erm...I've got 55 on each of them...
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- Have you? OK. - ..so we'll do it for 80.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19Well, it's a good start but Kate thinks she can do better.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That one's just a little bit discoloured, isn't it?
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Could you knock just a wee bit more off cos of the discolour?
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- I'll do 35 on that.- OK.
0:20:28 > 0:20:31And 30 on that.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Done.- OK.- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Yes, another dual deal for Miss Bliss.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38Let's hope her contact doesn't already have those designs
0:20:38 > 0:20:40in his collection.
0:20:40 > 0:20:45These are known as vesta cases after Vesta, the goddess of the hearth,
0:20:45 > 0:20:48and essentially you put your matches in here...
0:20:49 > 0:20:52..and you've got a little striker on the bottom.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54But these are a little bit more interesting
0:20:54 > 0:20:56because they're advertising vesta cases.
0:20:56 > 0:20:59On this one it says "Cash & Co - footwear experts"
0:20:59 > 0:21:01and you've got a little boot on the back.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05And this one says "M Blackburn - my tailor"
0:21:05 > 0:21:06based in Wigan.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Now, I know that Ewan has got a fantastic collection of these.
0:21:11 > 0:21:12I just hope he likes these ones.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15If not, I'll be looking for another collector.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17And speaking of collectors,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Captain Bingo is turning into quite the seafaring superfan
0:21:20 > 0:21:22and, sticking to his nautical theme,
0:21:22 > 0:21:25drops anchor next to something he hopes could make him
0:21:25 > 0:21:27a titanic profit.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29God, there's some work in that, isn't there?
0:21:29 > 0:21:331940s, '50s. Most of it's mahogany.
0:21:33 > 0:21:35It's lovely, isn't it?
0:21:35 > 0:21:37What could be the best on that?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39- I'd do that for 150.- OK.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42Knowing it can pay to buy a bundle, James trawls the stall and spots
0:21:42 > 0:21:47a folding table, which could give him a bit of haggling leverage.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50It could be used on the deck of a boat.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53If you had a smart yacht, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55And how much have you got on that?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57The very best on that would be £25.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59It looks good on the table.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02He's a salesman, this man, isn't he?
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Do you want to make it easy?- What?
0:22:04 > 0:22:05170.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08170 for the lot? For the two?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12- Thank you very much indeed, thank you.- Cheers.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Really kind.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21Bingo sails away with the table and model boat
0:22:21 > 0:22:23and he's twice as happy as he was before.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26I like this. It's a beautiful model.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31It's a mahogany model of a dinghy, but just beautifully done.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34It's missing a stand, it's missing a sail,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37but apart from that, it's pretty well got everything else.
0:22:37 > 0:22:38It needs a good Hoover.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43I think I can add value easily to this item by merely cleaning it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45He's on a roll, and soon spots something
0:22:45 > 0:22:49he hopes can help him perfect his twirl.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Is that a barber's chair?
0:22:51 > 0:22:54So you approach it that way, do you?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- You straddle it.- Lean right in.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59Oh, I see.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02And it sort of... Oh, it pivots.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Most useful.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07What a cool thing!
0:23:07 > 0:23:09I've never seen one like this.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12It is the three-legged stool principle.
0:23:12 > 0:23:17Here we are, I've got two legs and my stool.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19And then you can move round, look.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21You can move.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24It is a quite remarkable...
0:23:24 > 0:23:27This is, this is an object built for purpose.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29That is the coolest stool.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32James is obviously enamoured by the stool,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35but with a £150 price tag, can he cut a deal?
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- 100 quid, madam? No?- Sorry.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40- What's the best price on this?- 120.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43- That's the best.- 120?
0:23:43 > 0:23:46In for a penny, in for pound. Thank you very much indeed.
0:23:46 > 0:23:48£120 for the barber's stool,
0:23:48 > 0:23:53and Bingo's day of dealing has come to a stylish end.
0:23:53 > 0:23:54Exhausted and spent up,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57our challengers have charlestoned back to their dressing rooms.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01The judges have marked them on technique, flair and creativity.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03And the scores are in.
0:24:03 > 0:24:07Starting with £750, James Braxton wanted to spend
0:24:07 > 0:24:11thriftily today, but bought six items for £435.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Kate Bliss was aiming to make a big spend.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19She may have bought seven items, but actually spent less than James,
0:24:19 > 0:24:22just £383.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25The buying show is over, so it's time for our duo
0:24:25 > 0:24:30to take a bow and critique each other's performances.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31Lovely Kate, how have you found today?
0:24:31 > 0:24:33I've had a lovely day,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35and I'm actually pretty pleased with what I've got.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- You look like you've bought quite a bit of... You've got...- Wood.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42A lot of wood and a bit of work to do on those tools.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44You know, I am an amateur craftsman,
0:24:44 > 0:24:47so I'll get the old jigsaw out, round those up.
0:24:47 > 0:24:50They'll look very different. What about your clock? What's this?
0:24:50 > 0:24:52Have you felt the weight of this? This is a seriously heavy clock.
0:24:52 > 0:24:54That is heavy.
0:24:54 > 0:24:55That's out of a French factory.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Favourite item?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Favourite item...that -
0:25:01 > 0:25:03the barber's stool is great fun.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07- Does it go round and round? - Well, it really works.- I love those.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10- I like it. I really like it. - Your favourite item?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Probably the earrings, actually.
0:25:13 > 0:25:15They're Norwegian silver,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17but the enamelling on them is really lovely.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21- Very nice. Very nice, lovely. Well, best of luck, Kate.- Well, and you.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24- See you on the other side.- See you on the other side. Best of luck.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Our pair of dynamic dealers must now dance to a different tune
0:25:30 > 0:25:34as they swap their beautiful buying ballet for the frenetic
0:25:34 > 0:25:36footwork of the selling salsa.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39The hunt for profit becomes their new driving force,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and making the most money is their mantra.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Using all available methods,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Kate and James will scour the country for buyers,
0:25:47 > 0:25:50both striving to accumulate the biggest possible profits
0:25:50 > 0:25:52to go to their chosen charities.
0:25:52 > 0:25:54So, at Braxton Towers,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58how is James feeling about his assorted acquisitions?
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Well, what a hoard it is. And quite a utilitarian hoard, isn't it?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Sort of rather purposeful-looking stools.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10Sort of something that we remember from our chemistry block.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12I need to replace the seats on those.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18They cost me just under £15 each, so if I can get £35 each,
0:26:18 > 0:26:20I'll be doing very well on those.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21And then I've got this lovely...
0:26:21 > 0:26:26This is one of my favourite items, this sort of grate folding table.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29It's extremely heavy, but it's very nice.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33That needs to go to a boat owner for some sort of fancy sailing yacht.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36And then, my fabulous stool.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38It's like the third leg, this,
0:26:38 > 0:26:42and it's on a very purposeful spring here.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46I'm hoping to sell that to a rather cool... Maybe a barbershop.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49He'd rather like that. It's very comfortable.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52It gives a barber occasional respite.
0:26:52 > 0:26:57But I'm hoping, with this little lot, Kate gets no respite.
0:26:57 > 0:27:02James will also need to sell the 20th-century backgammon board
0:27:02 > 0:27:05and his nautical items - the small ship's wheel
0:27:05 > 0:27:08and the early to mid-20th-century model boat.
0:27:08 > 0:27:13Back at her Herefordshire home, Kate is getting down to business.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16My best buy is without doubt my cake stand,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and I brought this home and my husband said,
0:27:18 > 0:27:20"Wow, that's a great example."
0:27:20 > 0:27:25And it really is the best example of pokerwork that I've seen,
0:27:25 > 0:27:28and I've never seen one with a chequered handle.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30My pickle forks, I saw and I had to buy.
0:27:30 > 0:27:33I think they're really sweet. They are made of silver.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Actually, now I've got them back home,
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I've researched the hallmark
0:27:37 > 0:27:39and they are a little bit earlier than I thought.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41They are actually late-Victorian,
0:27:41 > 0:27:44just, because they date from 1901.
0:27:44 > 0:27:47And I want to sell these to somebody who really appreciates what they
0:27:47 > 0:27:51were made for, and I think I've found a pickling specialist.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55Which brings me to my first buy of the day. Now, I've researched the
0:27:55 > 0:28:00stamp here, Davos, which of course relates to Davos, the little town in
0:28:00 > 0:28:05the Swiss Alps. And it was in Davos that the Davos sledge was named
0:28:05 > 0:28:09after the very first tobogganing run in about 1883.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12But now I've done the research, I just need to find a buyer.
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Somebody who will push me over the finishing line
0:28:16 > 0:28:18so that I can glide to victory.
0:28:18 > 0:28:22Kate will also need to shift the 1920s silver sugar shaker,
0:28:22 > 0:28:241950s clock,
0:28:24 > 0:28:27the late-Victorian matchboxes
0:28:27 > 0:28:30and the vintage enamel earrings.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34So both our experts are revved up and raring to go on their selling
0:28:34 > 0:28:39sprees, so quickly hit the phones, the web and the road in search of potential buyers.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42But remember, no deal is sealed until they've shaken on it
0:28:42 > 0:28:45and the money has changed hands.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Keen to maximise his earning potential,
0:28:48 > 0:28:51surprisingly handy James has donned a rather fetching apron,
0:28:51 > 0:28:56and is about to put his restoration skills to the test.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58To add value and repair these stools,
0:28:58 > 0:29:01the first thing I've got to do is the seats.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03They are in a very parlous condition.
0:29:03 > 0:29:07So the first thing I've got to do is just draw the mat on a template,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10and I'm not using a pencil, I've got a bradawl,
0:29:10 > 0:29:15because it forms a really good guide for the saw.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17Now I've scored the surface,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20I'm going to use the jigsaw just to cut it out.
0:29:27 > 0:29:28And that's the final bit.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32I'm going to turn it over and just mark the drill holes.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Restoration can be both easy and fun.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43Like that.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47It's always very difficult to replicate...
0:29:47 > 0:29:51the original fittings from modern manufactured items,
0:29:51 > 0:29:55so although these stools date from not a long time ago,
0:29:55 > 0:29:58they're probably 1960s, '70s,
0:29:58 > 0:30:01it's quite nice to have the original fittings
0:30:01 > 0:30:06so I'll just put all these in.
0:30:11 > 0:30:15There we are. New seat, old bolts, old frame,
0:30:15 > 0:30:17and will last another 40 years.
0:30:17 > 0:30:21Now all James needs to do is find the right buyer,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24and in the Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye, with her pickle forks,
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Kate is confident she's already done that just that.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30What better home for my pair of top-quality pickle forks
0:30:30 > 0:30:34than an award-winning pickle and jam-making tea room?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37And what have we here? Exactly that.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40I'm hoping for between £60 and £80.
0:30:40 > 0:30:43Let's hope they like them.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45Yes, with £40 invested in them,
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Kate really needs owners Mike and Rachel to fall for her forks.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52You seem the perfect home to me
0:30:52 > 0:30:55for my lovely little pair of pickle forks.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59So here they are. They come in a beautiful, original leather case,
0:30:59 > 0:31:05actually, which is typically sort of late Victorian in date. Open it up
0:31:05 > 0:31:09and it's in lovely order. You've got a velvet lining there.
0:31:09 > 0:31:14You've got probably the retailers here. The name here for Edinburgh.
0:31:14 > 0:31:18Interestingly, the pickle forks are actually made of English silver
0:31:18 > 0:31:20with lovely little mother-of-pearl handles.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24And the silver was actually assayed, or tested, in Birmingham. It's quite
0:31:24 > 0:31:28unusual for me in the antiques business to have a pair like that,
0:31:28 > 0:31:33in their original case. Because they date from 1901, so they are well
0:31:33 > 0:31:36- over 100 years old.- They are dainty, aren't they?- They are small.
0:31:36 > 0:31:39What kind of pickles do you think they would have been used for?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Small... I was thinking small gherkins or something like that.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Yeah, something like that. - Yeah, you wouldn't use them for
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- pickled onions or something. - No, or pickled eggs.- No.- No.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50You're going to struggle, aren't you, with a pickled egg on there?
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- Yeah.- Sliding off, yeah.- OK.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55- Yeah, they're very nice. - They're beautiful.- Mm-hm.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Are they something you think you might like to purchase as part of
0:31:58 > 0:32:01- your collection or to put on display?- Yeah, no, they'd go on
0:32:01 > 0:32:05display with the others we've got here. No, they'd be nice.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08I was hoping for sort of around the £80, £90 mark.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Because they are quite a nice pair, in their box,
0:32:11 > 0:32:14which you don't often see. How do you feel about that?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17They are a bit small, aren't they, you know, for £80, £90?
0:32:17 > 0:32:21Can you do a bit better? Maybe 60, 70?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- 60, 70... I'd prefer the 70. - Right.- Um...
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- SHE SIGHS - You couldn't do 80?
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Eh... 75?
0:32:33 > 0:32:3475...
0:32:34 > 0:32:38If you did 80, I could give you a bit of a hand with the pickling,
0:32:38 > 0:32:39if that's any good.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Yes, yeah.- How does that sound to you?- Yeah, no, that sounds good.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47As it happens, we do have some pickled red cabbage to jar.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49- Do you?- Yeah, so £80 if you are willing to give us a hand.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52- And I'll give you a bit of labour this morning.- That'll be fine.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54- Is that all right? - Yeah, no, that's good.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Fantastic. I love a bit of red cabbage.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:32:59 > 0:33:04So Kate got the price she wanted and preserves a tasty profit of £40.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- It's such a fab colour, isn't it, Rachel?- It is beautiful.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Look at that. This is going to be messy.
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Oh, that's really good.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18Kate may be first out of the blocks, but James is hot on her heels.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21He's brought his nautical items to a Suffolk yacht club
0:33:21 > 0:33:25in hopes of securing a double sale.
0:33:25 > 0:33:29I've come to see Sean, managing director of a large
0:33:29 > 0:33:32and rather glamorous shipbuilding company.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33I'm hoping to make a profit,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36otherwise I'm in rather dire straits.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41He sank £150 into the model boat, and £50 into the wheel,
0:33:41 > 0:33:46so it's time for Bingo to batten down his hatches and haggle his way across the high seas.
0:33:46 > 0:33:49Now, here is my rather humble offering in comparison
0:33:49 > 0:33:51to this mighty fellow we're on.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54Well, this isn't a humble offering, this is a...
0:33:54 > 0:33:56Just like what you're sitting on,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00this is a handmade, beautifully crafted wooden yacht.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03And...I'm rather taken with that.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04This is, I would say, 1930s.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06It's in a pretty rough old state
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and the poor old thing's had a bit of a hard time.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11She's very shallow draft,
0:34:11 > 0:34:16you can see that the rudder doesn't extend below the line of the boat.
0:34:16 > 0:34:20This would have been probably from somewhere like the Broads,
0:34:20 > 0:34:21shallow waters.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25This is a classic, traditional boat building in miniature.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Yeah.- And it's beautifully done because these little ribs
0:34:28 > 0:34:31would all be made from taking slivers of timber -
0:34:31 > 0:34:33in this case, it's mahogany...
0:34:33 > 0:34:36- Yeah.- ..and steaming them, probably just over a kettle,
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- to bend them into shape.- Right.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41I think it's lovely. It needs a lot of work, and I shall take great
0:34:41 > 0:34:42delight in re-rigging it.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46Well, Sean seems very taken with Bingo's maritime offering,
0:34:46 > 0:34:50but will he be as keen on the price?
0:34:50 > 0:34:54- I said to you an estimate, 200 to 300.- Oof!
0:34:54 > 0:34:56I'm going to be brutal with you because it's going to take me quite
0:34:56 > 0:34:59a lot of work to put this back alive,
0:34:59 > 0:35:02but I'm going to offer you £150 for it.
0:35:02 > 0:35:06How about...how about 220?
0:35:06 > 0:35:09- Done.- 220? Thank you very much indeed.- Done.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- Thank you, Sean.- I think that's... I'm a very happy with that.- Yeah.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17And so is James, adding £70 to his profit pot.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Now, will his little ship's wheel steer him further towards victory?
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Now what do you think of this?
0:35:24 > 0:35:29The problem with these, this one - I hate to tell you -
0:35:29 > 0:35:32- is a modern machine-made one. - Oh, no!
0:35:32 > 0:35:33Yeah, I'm afraid so.
0:35:33 > 0:35:36So as somebody who makes everything from scratch,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39this has very little interest to you.
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Um, no.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Well, that told James.
0:35:43 > 0:35:45Very pleased to have sold Sean my model boat,
0:35:45 > 0:35:48but the ship's wheel, the voice of reason,
0:35:48 > 0:35:52unfortunately it's machine-made, and against a hand-built yacht,
0:35:52 > 0:35:54it seems a little incongruous.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57So it's back to the drawing board for old Bingo,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59but it's not all bad news
0:35:59 > 0:36:02as he takes his barber's stool to Brighton barber Alex.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Free haircut and 125? - Yeah. Put it there.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07THEY LAUGH
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Cutting a deal with a pretty tiny but stylish profit of £5
0:36:11 > 0:36:14plus a free haircut. Suits you, sir.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18James is leading at this stage with two sales to Kate's one,
0:36:18 > 0:36:20but back in Hay-on-Wye, can Kate draw level
0:36:20 > 0:36:22with her vintage earrings?
0:36:22 > 0:36:25I've brought my lovely enamelled earrings to see
0:36:25 > 0:36:29a good friend of mine, who's been in the jewellery trade for several years.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Now I fell in love with these,
0:36:31 > 0:36:35but I may have paid a little bit over the odds,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38so Marie-Claire might give me a little bit of a rough ride.
0:36:38 > 0:36:43They set her back £48 and Kate fears she may have bought with her heart,
0:36:43 > 0:36:46so she'll need to screw on her selling head if she's to make a profit.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50Now, I brought you something which I'm hoping is going to be
0:36:50 > 0:36:51your kind of thing.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54They are Norwegian silver
0:36:54 > 0:36:59with beautiful enamel. They're screw back earrings,
0:36:59 > 0:37:03but the enamel is beautiful.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07Now these, I would say, are probably about 1970s.
0:37:07 > 0:37:10I should think they're probably a little earlier because they've got the screws.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Screws tended to be phased out a little bit by then.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- I should think they're probably a '50s one.- Oh, would you?
0:37:16 > 0:37:18I would do, especially with the shape, the floral shape.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20- I think it's an orchid, isn't it? - I think so.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Lovely pink enamel.- It is lovely pink enamel.
0:37:24 > 0:37:27I really... I fell in love with them.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29Just put them in the light so we can see.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31The pink is very pretty on the enamel, Kate.
0:37:31 > 0:37:34I think it's in rather good condition as well.
0:37:34 > 0:37:35They are absolutely gorgeous.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- Am I talking you into them?- I don't know, how much did you pay for them?
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Well, I actually paid 48.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- OK!- Oh, dear.
0:37:44 > 0:37:46I think the fact that they're...Norwegian,
0:37:46 > 0:37:50everybody loves Scandinavian silver,
0:37:50 > 0:37:56the enamelling is one of the best, from Scandinavia, apart from Russia.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00- I mean, I'm not going to get an awful lot more than 48 for them.- OK.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02So...
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- I think probably around 50 is going to be my best, Kate.- Really?
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- I'm sorry, I couldn't give you any more than that.- Well, you know,
0:38:11 > 0:38:13a profit is a profit at the end of the day.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- Let's do it.- Fantastic.- Thank you.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20Yes, every penny counts in this game and Kate adds 200 of them to her profit purse.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22200 pennies, that is.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Well, I always knew that was going to be a tricky sale,
0:38:25 > 0:38:30and you know, some times the best way forward is to be completely open about what you paid.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34I've still got a few pennies in the pot, and I got a strong reminder -
0:38:34 > 0:38:37head, not heart.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39Onwards and upwards, Miss Bliss.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Now, James has packed the games board that cost him £40
0:38:43 > 0:38:44and headed to London,
0:38:44 > 0:38:48hoping to make his fortune from his friend, backgammon player Jules.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52- Now here's the...- Wow! - ..the Damascus board.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56Well, it's beautiful, isn't it? Beautiful. Mother-of-pearl?
0:38:56 > 0:38:59All this, mother-of-pearl. And the incredible intricate mosaic.
0:38:59 > 0:39:03Supposedly these were made on the street,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06or in workshops. Have you ever seen them being made?
0:39:06 > 0:39:12I have seen them being made, and I've been to all the souks where they make them too.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I mean, the degree of work that goes into these is incredible.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18You know, this is bone and, you know, hardwood and softwood.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21Mother of pearl too. I've seen them being made in Damascus.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- Cairo as well.- Do you like the board.- It's a beautiful board.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27This is a really good sort of bridge, isn't it?
0:39:27 > 0:39:30- That's not a bad bar, they call it.- Bar.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Some of the tiny little bits of wood here that have just come away.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36It's a... Yeah, it's a nice board. I mean, make me an offer.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Well, I was hoping for 200 quid. - Oof!
0:39:39 > 0:39:41I was thinking more along £30 to £40.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43JAMES LAUGHS
0:39:43 > 0:39:46- So we are miles apart here, aren't we?- Yeah.- The board is not antique.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49I mean, I can come up a bit, but not a whole lot.
0:39:49 > 0:39:51I'll give you £50 for it.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53I think I'd want more than that, Julesy.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55How about 80 quid?
0:39:55 > 0:39:59- 80 quid?- 80 quid. I'd say 50...- 60?
0:39:59 > 0:40:01No, I think it's got to be 80, chief.
0:40:01 > 0:40:0480 is a good...
0:40:04 > 0:40:08- 80 is a good buy.- You think so? - Yeah.- I'm not sure if I think so.
0:40:08 > 0:40:10THEY LAUGH
0:40:10 > 0:40:14- Um...- I'd give you a tickle on it. - OK, I'd say I'd split...- 70.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- 70 is fine.- 70. Go on, well done. - Done.- Well done.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19James took a gamble there,
0:40:19 > 0:40:22but Lady Luck was smiling and he adds £30 to his balance sheet.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27Now, Kate is back in her homeland of Herefordshire,
0:40:27 > 0:40:31hoping to strike a deal on her late-Victorian matchboxes.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Now, I've had Ewan in mind to buy my vestas ever since
0:40:34 > 0:40:36I saw them at the fair
0:40:36 > 0:40:39because I know that he's got an extensive collection.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I've spoken to him about them, he's seen photographs,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44but he hasn't actually seen the real thing.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47So here goes, and I really hope he likes them.
0:40:47 > 0:40:51Ewan is a knowledgeable specialist collector, so this really won't be
0:40:51 > 0:40:54a walk in the park. For Kate, it's a tough task ahead
0:40:54 > 0:40:57to make a profitable return on her £65 investment.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01- Ewan, hi. How are you doing? - How are you?
0:41:01 > 0:41:05- You said you had a collection, but look at this!- I know.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08- This is fabulous. - It's amazing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- So how many have you got?- There's got to be around about 400 there.
0:41:11 > 0:41:12There's 80 in each tray, and there's
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- a few drawers there, isn't there? So...- Wow!- Yeah, it's amazing.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18I've gone a little bit overboard, I know, but at the end of the day,
0:41:18 > 0:41:20it's something that I love
0:41:20 > 0:41:23and I think the social history that comes with it
0:41:23 > 0:41:24is amazing, really, to be fair.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28There are real pieces of social history. I mean, just looking
0:41:28 > 0:41:30at the names on them, there's some wonderful names here.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33They're called celluloid vestas,
0:41:33 > 0:41:35or celluloid match safes over in America.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38So they're made from silver-plate and then the celluloid is
0:41:38 > 0:41:41wrapped round and then advertising motif is printed on, basically.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42That's right, it is, yeah.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46Well, I have finally found you two. That one has got the boot on it,
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- which I think is really nice. - Very nice, yeah.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Now, the other one, I thought was really interesting.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53It is a little bit fox.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56But again, it's a really nice name. You've got Blackburn.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59- My tailors.- So the question is, Ewan, do you like them now
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- you've had a chance to look at them? - Yeah, they are very nice,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06like I say. At the end of the day, they're ones I haven't got and,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08as you can see, I'm a bit of an addict.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- So I suppose I would be interested in them.- I was thinking maybe for
0:42:11 > 0:42:16the nice one, perhaps somewhere around 60, 70?
0:42:16 > 0:42:20And maybe for the one that is a little bit stained,
0:42:20 > 0:42:24sort of 40-ish? 30, 40, you think?
0:42:24 > 0:42:28- Perhaps?- Yeah, I will give you 30 for that one.- OK.- I will give you
0:42:28 > 0:42:31- 30 for that one.- Right.- But this one is a little bit...
0:42:31 > 0:42:33a little bit steep at 60.
0:42:33 > 0:42:35- Is it?- Just a bit.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39I'll give you £80 for the two of them. How would you feel about that?
0:42:39 > 0:42:45Could you, just...just to help me a wee bit, could you just go to 90?
0:42:45 > 0:42:48I'll meet you halfway. 85, isn't it?
0:42:48 > 0:42:51- You drive a hard bargain. - I do.- 85 it is.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54And that £20 profit brings us to the halfway mark,
0:42:54 > 0:42:57so time for our dealers to come together once more,
0:42:57 > 0:43:00because this plucky pair have been given the chance to mate up
0:43:00 > 0:43:02and find out who is in the lead so far.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07- So how are you doing? - Well, there's a story.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- I'm doing OK, actually.- Oh, dear, I'm worried now.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14I've sold, I would say I've sold half,
0:43:14 > 0:43:18and I've got a couple to go. How about you?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21I don't know. If you're feeling OK, I think I should feel almost miserable.
0:43:21 > 0:43:25- Shall we see who's doing...? - Shall we? There's a message in here, apparently.
0:43:25 > 0:43:28- Ready, one, two, three. - The big reveal.
0:43:28 > 0:43:33Oh, dear. So far in the contest, you've made more profit than... Me?!
0:43:33 > 0:43:36You! It says, so far in the competition,
0:43:36 > 0:43:37you have made less profit.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40- Will I maintain my lead? - I wonder how much is in it.
0:43:40 > 0:43:45- Well, good luck, but not too much, OK?- And you.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48I'm worried now.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52I know now, currently, I have more profit,
0:43:52 > 0:43:54but that could be short-lived.
0:43:54 > 0:43:57Kate is a fearsome adversary, she's got more items to sell,
0:43:57 > 0:44:00I've got less. I think it's going to be very close.
0:44:00 > 0:44:03That was a bit disappointing. I thought I was doing all right
0:44:03 > 0:44:06till I spoke to James, so now I've really got to crack on,
0:44:06 > 0:44:09and have a sprint finish.
0:44:09 > 0:44:14Yes, Kate must now dig deep and fight for that extra profit to pip her opponent to the post,
0:44:14 > 0:44:17but let's see how much work she has to do.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22In the lead, James has sold three of his six items
0:44:22 > 0:44:25and made £105.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28Kate has sold the same number of items
0:44:28 > 0:44:30but earned just £62 profit.
0:44:34 > 0:44:38So, Bingo has the sweet smell of success tantalising his nostrils,
0:44:38 > 0:44:41and he's ready to charge onwards.
0:44:41 > 0:44:43He's had a closer look at the ship's wheel
0:44:43 > 0:44:45that he tried and failed to sell earlier
0:44:45 > 0:44:50and he's starting to think it might not be a mass produced, decorative piece after all.
0:44:52 > 0:44:54When you look at it again
0:44:54 > 0:44:56it's all made in sections, it's pegged,
0:44:56 > 0:44:59the dowels project differently, some are smoothed down,
0:44:59 > 0:45:01some have risen.
0:45:01 > 0:45:05I'm just going to see to what extent the brass extends.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07You know, is the whole thing collared here,
0:45:07 > 0:45:09or is it just for show.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12If it isn't just for show
0:45:12 > 0:45:15it would imply that it actually has a use.
0:45:15 > 0:45:18Well, better get polishing then, Bingo.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21It really is beginning to come up.
0:45:21 > 0:45:23I'm just going to do... Let's see
0:45:23 > 0:45:25whether this is brass, as well.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29Which I think it is, I'm getting copper deposit here now.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31This is definitely made for purpose.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34I couldn't have hoped for a better result.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36This whole central section is made of brass
0:45:36 > 0:45:38from which radiates the spokes.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40Why bother to put this whole thing in brass
0:45:40 > 0:45:42if you're going to hang it on the wall.
0:45:42 > 0:45:45This actually was at the helm of a boat
0:45:45 > 0:45:47and by doing this I'll reassure the buyer
0:45:47 > 0:45:51and I should get a really good price.
0:45:51 > 0:45:52Well, well, well...
0:45:52 > 0:45:55His elbow grease may have added substantial value.
0:45:55 > 0:45:58And, with wind in his sails, and the wheel in his hands,
0:45:58 > 0:46:00Captain Bingo navigates his way
0:46:00 > 0:46:03to the coastal Sussex town of St Leonards-on-Sea.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10# Somewhere beyond the sea... #
0:46:10 > 0:46:12The wheel cost James £50,
0:46:12 > 0:46:14but can its newly gleaming condition
0:46:14 > 0:46:16attract a higher price
0:46:16 > 0:46:18from antiques dealer, Robert.
0:46:18 > 0:46:21- Get it in your hands, Robert. - Oh, super. Yeah, nice.
0:46:21 > 0:46:24- You see these, don't you, on small boats?- Yeah.
0:46:24 > 0:46:29- The size is comparable to the rudder size.- Oh, I see.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32It is rather a nice one. How much are you looking for?
0:46:32 > 0:46:35- I'm looking for big money, Robert. - Are you?- I want three...
0:46:35 > 0:46:37You know, only three figures for this.
0:46:37 > 0:46:42- And what would that be?- What do you think it's worth? What, 150?
0:46:42 > 0:46:43Oh, I think that's a little bit much.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48I think it needs to be really near the £100.
0:46:48 > 0:46:49£100 mark? OK.
0:46:49 > 0:46:53- Special price to you, Robert, 110. - 110, that sounds brilliant.
0:46:53 > 0:46:56- Go on, put it there. Put it there. - I'll buy that from you. Thank you.
0:46:56 > 0:46:58You're going to put it on your riverboat now, aren't you?
0:46:58 > 0:47:01- I will, yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:47:01 > 0:47:02Anchors aweigh, Bingo!
0:47:02 > 0:47:06He more than doubled his money, making a bracing profit of £60.
0:47:07 > 0:47:09Desperate to fight back, though,
0:47:09 > 0:47:13Kate makes a delicious £75 on her Victorian cake stand
0:47:13 > 0:47:16when she sells it to Hereford tea shop owners
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Asanghar and Michelle...
0:47:18 > 0:47:19120.
0:47:19 > 0:47:23..and then moves quickly on to potential sale number five,
0:47:23 > 0:47:26her mid-20th century Swiss sledge.
0:47:26 > 0:47:29Now, I think my sledge was a bargain at the antiques fair,
0:47:29 > 0:47:32and I'm bringing it to some Christmas tree growers
0:47:32 > 0:47:33here in Herefordshire.
0:47:33 > 0:47:37Now, they have a lovely seasonal display, a winter wonderland,
0:47:37 > 0:47:39and I'm really hoping my sledge will fit in.
0:47:41 > 0:47:46It set her back £20, but will owners Colin and Davina put her on the path
0:47:46 > 0:47:49to profit, or will it be an uphill struggle?
0:47:49 > 0:47:53This is what I've brought you, which is actually, I have to say,
0:47:53 > 0:47:55- a pretty good sledge. - It's a lovely sledge.- It's good.
0:47:55 > 0:47:56It's a great size.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59You can certainly get two little kiddies on there.
0:47:59 > 0:48:01I don't know, Davina and I will probably be,
0:48:01 > 0:48:04- haring down the banks on it! - Looking at that slope...
0:48:04 > 0:48:06You could get a fair lick-up down there.
0:48:06 > 0:48:11- What does it say?- It says... It's made of ash and oak, I think.
0:48:11 > 0:48:13And it's stamped Davos.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16Now, only the pukka sledges are stamped Davos,
0:48:16 > 0:48:18- which refers to the place in Switzerland.- Oh.
0:48:18 > 0:48:23And Davos, in fact, was where tobogganing itself actually started
0:48:23 > 0:48:25at the end of the 19th century.
0:48:25 > 0:48:27So it's a pretty good quality sledge.
0:48:27 > 0:48:30It's... I don't think it's got a huge amount of age to it.
0:48:30 > 0:48:34I think there's a bit of age to it, but it's certainly not antique.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36But you can see the runners are all in good condition.
0:48:36 > 0:48:40You've got the metal runners there to slide along the snow.
0:48:40 > 0:48:42- So, what do you think?- Yeah.
0:48:42 > 0:48:44Is it the kind of thing that would go well in your display?
0:48:44 > 0:48:46Let me turn that back round.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49- I've got an idea of a position that it could go.- Yeah, I think so.
0:48:49 > 0:48:53Well, I know I said to you somewhere between £60 to £90.
0:48:53 > 0:48:57- The 90 sounds a little bit dear. - OK.- Quite a lot dear, actually.
0:48:57 > 0:48:59DAVINA LAUGHS
0:48:59 > 0:49:02- What about...- You're going to barter, are you?
0:49:02 > 0:49:03- 70 would be better.- Would it?
0:49:03 > 0:49:06OK, I'll drop to 80. How does that sound?
0:49:06 > 0:49:08Could you come up to 80?
0:49:08 > 0:49:11- Do you think we should go the 80? - I think we should.- We'll go the 80.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14- We'll never get something like that again.- No, we won't get it again.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16- It's lovely.- OK, 80 it is. - Sure?- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:49:16 > 0:49:20- I'm going to shake your hand before you change your mind. - Thank you very much, Kate.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24What an impressive bit of money-making from Miss Bliss.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28She quadruples her investment and glides away with a £60 profit.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31Now she just needs to pop the sledge into its new home.
0:49:31 > 0:49:34Sort of like that.
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Pressies on the top.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38I think that looks fantastic.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41And with that, Kate slides into the lead.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43I don't think my sledge could've found a better home.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46There's a good bit of profit in the kitty too.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49I'm picking up speed, Bingo.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Yes, you want to watch your back, James.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53With two items left to sell,
0:49:53 > 0:49:56he's cast his net wide and thinks he's found the perfect home
0:49:56 > 0:49:59for his folding table.
0:49:59 > 0:50:02I'm in Hastings outside the Fishermen's Museum.
0:50:02 > 0:50:04It has a whole boat inside.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Anyway I've brought along my folding teak table
0:50:07 > 0:50:09because these look very similar to hatch covers
0:50:09 > 0:50:12that you might get onboard deck.
0:50:12 > 0:50:14Anyway, I hope they like it.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16It cost him £20
0:50:16 > 0:50:21but can James reel in more money from museum representative, Mick?
0:50:21 > 0:50:23Feel the weight of this, Mick.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26- I've come here to sell you something.- Oh, no. No, no.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28No, I'm afraid so.
0:50:28 > 0:50:32Made of, I think, teak. And I like this sort of...
0:50:32 > 0:50:35What do you call these? Sort of like hatch covers, are they?
0:50:35 > 0:50:37- They're gratings.- Gratings. - They're called gratings.
0:50:37 > 0:50:41I thought, with the grating, I thought it would go quite well.
0:50:41 > 0:50:42But the lovely thing about it -
0:50:42 > 0:50:46I always think weight is a sign of quality.
0:50:46 > 0:50:50- Eh...- Do you think the museum would have a nice use for that?
0:50:50 > 0:50:53- Well, I expect we could find somewhere to put it.- Yeah.
0:50:53 > 0:50:56And in fact, funny enough, it's a humble object,
0:50:56 > 0:50:59and you'll think, in a of couple years' time,
0:50:59 > 0:51:04"How did we survive without James' lovely folding table?"
0:51:04 > 0:51:06- That's what you'll be saying, isn't it, Mick?- Not necessarily.
0:51:06 > 0:51:10- JAMES LAUGHS - How about 35 for it, Mick?
0:51:10 > 0:51:12- MICK SIGHS DEEPLY - Oh, dear.
0:51:12 > 0:51:15Go on, what do you think it's worth to you? What do you think, 30?
0:51:15 > 0:51:18I wouldn't say that at all. No, no.
0:51:18 > 0:51:20Oh, dear, now he's going to get tough on me, isn't he?
0:51:20 > 0:51:22- I reckon 20.- 20...
0:51:22 > 0:51:25I tell you what, split the difference,
0:51:25 > 0:51:28don't put yourself in a corner, 25.
0:51:28 > 0:51:3025, come on. Put it down there.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32- OK, then, you've pushed me into it. - Well done.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34That's £5 profit in the bag.
0:51:34 > 0:51:38With just his Belgian stools left to shift, clever old James
0:51:38 > 0:51:41has zeroed in on a Belgian restaurant in Eastbourne
0:51:41 > 0:51:45and with just under £58, including restoration costs to earn back,
0:51:45 > 0:51:49Bingo hopes this won't be a 'bum' deal.
0:51:49 > 0:51:52Hello, Stephane. I've brought you these stools.
0:51:52 > 0:51:55I think you need more retro furnishings, Stephane,
0:51:55 > 0:51:57and these will fit the bill.
0:51:57 > 0:51:59- I had to replace some of the studs. - Yeah.
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Which I've done with bigger, brassier ones.
0:52:02 > 0:52:05But they're rather nice and they're very comfy.
0:52:05 > 0:52:10I mentioned a price to you, I wanted sort of 100/150.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13I was rather hoping for £30/£40 a stool.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16There's still some work to do.
0:52:16 > 0:52:19Some painting, I'll let you choose the painting.
0:52:19 > 0:52:22But they are going to go on... These have lasted 50 years already.
0:52:22 > 0:52:25They are going to go on for another 50/100.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27- I hope so!- How do you see them?
0:52:27 > 0:52:29In the middle £35 a stool?
0:52:29 > 0:52:31That's still a bit too high.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33I would say...
0:52:34 > 0:52:36£15 each.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Ohh...too low.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40Special price, £25 a stool.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42£100, come on.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46- If you bring down to 20.- How about we do the difference, 22.50.
0:52:46 > 0:52:5022.50 and then we're just under the 100. You'll be happy
0:52:50 > 0:52:51and I'll be happy.
0:52:51 > 0:52:53- Yeah.- Good. Thank you, Stephane.
0:52:53 > 0:52:55- No problem, a pleasure.- Thank you.
0:52:55 > 0:52:59So that £90 deal brings in a profit of over £32
0:52:59 > 0:53:02and it's a full house for Bingo.
0:53:02 > 0:53:06So the pressure is on for Kate to sell her final items,
0:53:06 > 0:53:10starting with the £85 silver sugar shaker.
0:53:10 > 0:53:12It's her most expensive purchase
0:53:12 > 0:53:15so her sales pitch to Glasbury-on-Wye restaurant manager,
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Kate, will have to be sugar-coated.
0:53:20 > 0:53:22Have a little look, what do you think of it?
0:53:22 > 0:53:24It's lovely, it's really nice
0:53:24 > 0:53:26and I really like the design around here.
0:53:26 > 0:53:29You said it was 1920s.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32Exactly right. This one is Danish silver, not English silver
0:53:32 > 0:53:35and you can tell that straightaway by looking at the bottom.
0:53:35 > 0:53:39So you've got a three turreted tower there which is a mark
0:53:39 > 0:53:43that symbolises Danish silver and quite unusually for silver hallmarks
0:53:43 > 0:53:45you've got a little 22 there
0:53:45 > 0:53:48and that number is relating to the date.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51So we can tell that it's 1922.
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Would you think of buying this for display purposes
0:53:54 > 0:53:57or would you be interested in actually using it
0:53:57 > 0:53:59- as a sugar caster?- Well, we might use it.
0:53:59 > 0:54:04I mean, we have some pastry chefs who would make very good use of that.
0:54:04 > 0:54:07But whether it's too precious to let them use it, I don't know.
0:54:07 > 0:54:08THEY LAUGH
0:54:08 > 0:54:12I'm hoping for around the £200 mark.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14It is a really nice, quality piece.
0:54:14 > 0:54:15What were you thinking?
0:54:15 > 0:54:17150.
0:54:19 > 0:54:22That sounds good, could you do a little bit more?
0:54:22 > 0:54:24Could you come up and meet me just a wee bit?
0:54:24 > 0:54:27160?
0:54:27 > 0:54:31- 160 is great.- Thank you very much.- Thank you. That's super.
0:54:31 > 0:54:35And she's done it, almost doubling her money
0:54:35 > 0:54:38and adding a sweet £75 to her coffer.
0:54:38 > 0:54:41With the finish line looming and time ticking away,
0:54:41 > 0:54:44Kate targets a cafe on the River Wye
0:54:44 > 0:54:49and hopes owner Jane can give her old £80 clock a new home.
0:54:49 > 0:54:51I love the look you have in here.
0:54:51 > 0:54:54I'm thinking that my clock might fit in quite well.
0:54:54 > 0:54:58My clock has a very industrial look, and this, of course,
0:54:58 > 0:55:01is cast-aluminium, so it is incredibly heavy,
0:55:01 > 0:55:03if you want to have a feel of it.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05It's really nice and simple, isn't it?
0:55:05 > 0:55:07- That's what I... - Yes, it is.- It's lovely.
0:55:07 > 0:55:10I was told by the person I bought it from that it came
0:55:10 > 0:55:12out of a French factory.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15You can see the remnants of the dirt there, which I quite like.
0:55:15 > 0:55:18- Yes.- It shows you it's a genuine piece.- Yes.
0:55:18 > 0:55:21- It's ready to go.- I really like it. I do really like it.
0:55:21 > 0:55:24I've had a clock in here that I just haven't liked for ages
0:55:24 > 0:55:26and I've been looking for one, so this is amazing. I love it.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30- Well, it's very handy for me.- Yeah, very handy.- Opportune.- It is.
0:55:30 > 0:55:34Well, because it is an original sort of '50s piece, it's
0:55:34 > 0:55:36in great condition, all in working,
0:55:36 > 0:55:42I was hoping for somewhere around sort of 220, something like that.
0:55:42 > 0:55:43How does that sound?
0:55:43 > 0:55:46Yes, Kate is definitely trying her hardest with this sale.
0:55:46 > 0:55:51Remember James was the lead at the halfway point and this sale could make all the difference.
0:55:51 > 0:55:55But, before we reveal all, let's have a quick reminder of how much
0:55:55 > 0:55:57they spent at the antiques fair.
0:56:00 > 0:56:03Having each started the day with £750 to spend,
0:56:03 > 0:56:08James bought six items and spent £437.74,
0:56:08 > 0:56:10including restoration costs.
0:56:10 > 0:56:14Kate bought seven items, spending a total of £383.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17But who made the most profit?
0:56:17 > 0:56:20All the money that James and Kate have made from today's
0:56:20 > 0:56:23challenge will go to charities of their choice, so let's find
0:56:23 > 0:56:27out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:56:27 > 0:56:31- Well, hello.- Hi. - On this blustery afternoon.
0:56:31 > 0:56:33It is sort of sailing weather, isn't it?
0:56:33 > 0:56:36Yeah, cos you had a bit of a marine theme going on, didn't you?
0:56:36 > 0:56:39Yeah, I had my nice, little model boat that somebody really loved
0:56:39 > 0:56:41and that funny ship's wheel.
0:56:41 > 0:56:44What about that funny ship's wheel? How did that go?
0:56:44 > 0:56:48It was more difficult than I thought, one of my last sales.
0:56:48 > 0:56:52- And you?- Well, my sledge, which I loved as soon as I saw it,
0:56:52 > 0:56:54- that went whizzing along.- Good.
0:56:54 > 0:56:58Oh, my little pickle forks were a very small purchase,
0:56:58 > 0:57:01but I had lots of fun learning how to make lovely pickle.
0:57:01 > 0:57:05- It's a learning process. - It's a learning curve.- It really is.
0:57:05 > 0:57:08- Yeah. Come on, I'm...- Come on. - The suspense is killing me.- Come on.
0:57:08 > 0:57:10Ready, steady...
0:57:10 > 0:57:11Go!
0:57:11 > 0:57:14- Oh!- Yes! Well done, you.- Yes!
0:57:14 > 0:57:16Just-ish.
0:57:16 > 0:57:20There is no just in it, there's about £180.
0:57:20 > 0:57:22JAMES LAUGHS
0:57:22 > 0:57:26- Well done, you.- Oh, brilliant.- Well done.- I think it must have been...
0:57:26 > 0:57:28- What was it?- ..the sledge, actually.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31- The sledge, really? - It's going to be a bad winter.
0:57:31 > 0:57:33Yes, indeed, the sledge helped.
0:57:33 > 0:57:37But it was also the sale of her 1950s wall clock that pushed her
0:57:37 > 0:57:39past the winning post...
0:57:39 > 0:57:41How does just the very round 200 sound?
0:57:41 > 0:57:43Why don't we settle on 180?
0:57:43 > 0:57:46- Can you go just a tiny bit and say 190?- 190, it's a deal.
0:57:46 > 0:57:51..making a timely £110 profit and making Kate the winner.
0:57:51 > 0:57:54Chuffed, that's the word. I am really chuffed.
0:57:54 > 0:57:56And all that hard work has paid off.
0:57:56 > 0:58:00I was pleased with my sales, but Kate did much better than I.
0:58:00 > 0:58:02Oh, well, you can't win 'em all.
0:58:02 > 0:58:06Yes, between them they've made over £584 and every penny
0:58:06 > 0:58:08of that will go to charity.
0:58:08 > 0:58:12My chosen charity is the Herefordshire branch of SSAFA,
0:58:12 > 0:58:15because it gives lifelong support to servicemen, veterans
0:58:15 > 0:58:17and their families.
0:58:17 > 0:58:21My chosen charity is the Windmill Hill Windmill Trust.
0:58:21 > 0:58:25Bought at auction over 20 years ago, saved from dereliction
0:58:25 > 0:58:27and about to grind corn.
0:58:27 > 0:58:30Our excellent experts have really put their money
0:58:30 > 0:58:33where their mouths are and shown they can make a profit
0:58:33 > 0:58:37from buying and selling antiques when their own money is on the line.
