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...

0:00:29 > 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.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Got a couple of losses, a bit of damage there...
0:05:44 > 0:05:46and a bit of damage there.
0:05:46 > 0:05:47It's not hugely old.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52It's not 19th century but it's not bad, it's got some age.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56And it's a good size and at £40, bit of a bargain.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Yes, James is so far sticking to his thrifty strategy
0:05:59 > 0:06:01but what of our big-spender, Kate?
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Well, she's sashayed over to something she hopes
0:06:04 > 0:06:06will speed her to the finish line.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09- A nice sturdy one, isn't it? - It is, yeah.- Made for speed.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- How much is that?- 25.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14What's the name on it then?
0:06:14 > 0:06:16- Davos.- Yeah, what's that? - We bought it in France.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Would you take a tenner?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23- What's your best?- 20.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Go on, then. I like that.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- Great, that'll do.- Thank you.- Thank you. Let me find you some money.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34It's not quite the big-money item she was looking for
0:06:34 > 0:06:37but at least that haggle was no uphill struggle.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Everything looks like it's original.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42You've got a bit of rust to the runners here, as you would expect.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Probably dates from the '50s, maybe a little bit later
0:06:45 > 0:06:49and you've got a stamp here on the top - Davos.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50Now I don't know what that is.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54It's either the manufacturer, maybe the place where it came from,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56so I'm going to be looking that up.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59But for £20...I think that's great.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03But even-stevens is not enough for our ambitious girl
0:07:03 > 0:07:05and she quickly pirouettes into the lead,
0:07:05 > 0:07:09spearing some early-20th-century pickle forks for £40.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13I don't normally go for little...pickle folks
0:07:13 > 0:07:15but this is such a sweet little set.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You've got a pair with mother-of-pearl handles
0:07:18 > 0:07:21and little silver folks on the end there.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Just a neat little set, isn't it?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26And they'll come in handy if Kate ever gets herself into a pickle.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30'Er. Yes? No? Anyone? Oh, never mind.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Meanwhile, Bingo's been moonwalking tirelessly around the fair
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and seems ready for a little sit down.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40How much on your stools?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- They're £15 each.- Can you lift one off? Can I just see?
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- They look very well constructed. - Oh, they are.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49You can upcycle them and do them in nice...
0:07:49 > 0:07:50Upcycle them.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54Goh, don't know if I've got the energy, sir, for upcycling.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Haven't got the energy?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Well, Bingo, fame costs
0:07:59 > 0:08:04and right here is where you start paying...with sweat.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05Very good for the posture.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09- Shall I have a punt then?- Go on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Have you got six good ones?
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Four rubbers, lots of rust.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15Rubbers on that.
0:08:15 > 0:08:17Just check the rubbers.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19That looks a very fine one.
0:08:20 > 0:08:22I want to leave you with some.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Oh, I thought you wanted six?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28No, I think four. Now the price.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32It's a lot of work and what do they say, sir? "Don't buy work."
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I keep saying it to myself. What am I doing? How about 50, sir?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- 55, sir.- 55. Thank you very much indeed, sir.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41Yes, a steady performance there from James,
0:08:41 > 0:08:46securing the stools for £5 under the asking price.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49These have done a lifetime's work already
0:08:49 > 0:08:54and yet here is Bingo Braxton, he's going to save them
0:08:54 > 0:08:59and give them a new lease of life - not in Belgium but in England.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04Wow, that purchase has left Bingo pepped up and full of pizzazz.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07And whilst he's high-kicking to his heart's content outdoors,
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Kate has sneaked inside and is cosying up
0:09:10 > 0:09:12to a late-Victorian cake stand.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's quite a decorative one, isn't it?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- What's that going to be?- 48.
0:09:19 > 0:09:23It's a nice little bit of pokerwork. I particularly like this handle.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Couldn't do 40? A round figure?
0:09:25 > 0:09:29No. I'll probably lose money if I go down to 40, so 45 is a bit better.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31That's fair enough.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33OK, yeah, let's do it. I like it.
0:09:33 > 0:09:3445.
0:09:35 > 0:09:40Hm, so Kate settles on just a £3 discount. Very out of character.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Perhaps she knows something that we don't.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47So what we've got here is a really lovely three-tier cake stand.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50You don't normally see them so highly-ornate.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54And the word for this type of decoration is known as pokerwork.
0:09:54 > 0:09:58So the flowers and ribbons here aren't painted on
0:09:58 > 0:10:00or inlaid like marquetry.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04It's actually burnt on with a really fine, hot needle point
0:10:04 > 0:10:09and then it's stained to bring that lovely floral design up in relief.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11And it's the same here with this chequered handle.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14I can feel an afternoon tea coming on.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18And before leading lady Kate has a chance to pop her kettle on,
0:10:18 > 0:10:21she snaps up some vintage earrings.
0:10:21 > 0:10:22I quite fancy them myself.
0:10:22 > 0:10:2448, did you say?
0:10:24 > 0:10:29But when Miss Bliss parts with them, will they turn her a profit?
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Now I am super chuffed with these.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34They're probably '70s and vintage jewellery
0:10:34 > 0:10:37from this sort of period is really coming back in at the moment.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40They are Norwegian silver enamelled.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Now the Scandinavians are really good at enamelling.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46They're on silver and the silver's actually been engraved
0:10:46 > 0:10:49with tiny little flowers on each of the petals
0:10:49 > 0:10:54before the pink enamel was laid over the top.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Perfect condition... I love 'em.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01So will Kate bring the dance floor to a halt with those bobby-dazzlers?
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Stay tuned to find out.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Our challengers have cha-chaed their way to the halfway mark,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10so time to foxtrot off and check on the scores so far.
0:11:12 > 0:11:15From a £750 budget,
0:11:15 > 0:11:19James Braxton has bought two items so far and has spent thriftily,
0:11:19 > 0:11:23just £95, leaving him with £655 to play with.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29Kate Bliss has bought four items but isn't exactly breaking the bank.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34Spending just £153, leaving £597 still in the kitty.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- There you are.- There we are, yeah.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- Have you been hiding?- No, I haven't. I've been lurking.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I've been doing very much the outside stalls but...
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Have you found anything?
0:11:47 > 0:11:51I've bought some items and I've bought work again.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- Work?- Oh, dear. - Have you spent much money?
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Not enough. I need a big purchase.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- What about you?- I don't know about you but I'm finding it
0:11:59 > 0:12:02really hard to spend a lot of money. I'm really pleased with what I've
0:12:02 > 0:12:05bought. I've bought a few things but they're all less than £100.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07I'm just not finding anything that I like that's really expensive.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11- Come on, get your wallet out, girl. - I'm normally quite good at that.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Come on.- What about you? You're normally a big splash-the-cash man.
0:12:14 > 0:12:15- Yeah. Get that wad out.- Yeah.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- I'm just getting into my stride, I think.- OK, good luck.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19See you later.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22So both our dealers are finding it difficult to splash their cash
0:12:22 > 0:12:25and Kate has waltzed back indoors.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Well, I'm glad James is finding it hard to spend money too.
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Now, I think I've left him outside.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34I've come inside to these quite dark sheds.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36There's some really nice things in here,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39so I'm looking for something of really top quality.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Miss Bliss is twisting and turning amongst the indoor stalls but
0:12:42 > 0:12:47she won't be alone for long as James is about to stamp his way inside.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51There's some very good stuff in these sheds.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54From memory - I haven't been to Peterborough for about...
0:12:55 > 0:12:57..a long time, about five, eight years -
0:12:57 > 0:13:00but I remember these sheds, these open sheds were very good,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02so let's go.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Now frontrunner Kate has clicked her castanets
0:13:04 > 0:13:06over to a silver sugar shaker
0:13:06 > 0:13:09with a price tag of £139.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11And it's all about to get serious.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- Danish silver?- Yes.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16But the good thing is, you can actually date it
0:13:16 > 0:13:20cos there is a little number 22 underneath for 1922.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22I thought it was English, funnily enough.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24I thought it was English Arts & Crafts.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27But now I've seen that it isn't, which makes me want it
0:13:27 > 0:13:30for a little bit less money.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32£95.
0:13:33 > 0:13:3595?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I'm going to have a think.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40Hm, so not even a £44 discount
0:13:40 > 0:13:43has convinced Miss Bliss to splash the cash.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47But hold your horses, does she have a sneaky double deal in mind?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51It seems so when she clocks, well, a clock.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54It came off a factory wall in France.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Obviously had an electric motor in it originally
0:13:56 > 0:13:59but they run on a different voltage to us...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Right.- ..hence it's now converted to quartz.
0:14:01 > 0:14:06But underneath the motor it had the exact day and year it was made.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07- Is that right?- 1954.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09I wouldn't be averse to having that on my wall.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Exactly, yeah.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13And it's a really nice decorator's piece.
0:14:13 > 0:14:14What's your best on that then?
0:14:14 > 0:14:17- What does it say, 110 on it?- Yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20Er...I would need 85 for that.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23OK.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Hm, you can almost hear the cogs turning.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29And if I took the sugar shaker?
0:14:29 > 0:14:3280, and 90 for the caster. That would be it.
0:14:32 > 0:14:3680, and 90 for the caster. That's 170.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38OK, I was hoping for 150.
0:14:38 > 0:14:41So if I meet you in the middle at 160?
0:14:41 > 0:14:42Cash.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- Can we say 165?- 165.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- Yeah?- Yeah.- Is that a nod?
0:14:47 > 0:14:48- I'm happy with that.- Are you?- Yes.
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Sure?- Sure.- Fantastic.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56That was a masterclass. Kate bought in bulk and drove the price down.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00£80 for the clock and £85 for the sugar shaker.
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Now I saw this right at the back of the stall
0:15:02 > 0:15:06and was quite excited because I love Arts & Crafts silver.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09You can see it's got Danish marks on the bottom
0:15:09 > 0:15:11and a date number for 1922.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16So one good purchase and something completely different.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Now I love this because of its simplicity, actually.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22It's got a really heavy cast-aluminium frame,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25a very industrial look, which is quite in at the moment.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28And quite a simple face with these baton numerals
0:15:28 > 0:15:32that harks back to the '30s really, the Art-Deco movement.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Now it's a shame that a hole has been cut in the back
0:15:35 > 0:15:37but it does mean that it's working.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Shove a battery in and it's good to go.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44Talking of which, time ticking, I better crack on.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Indeed and Captain Bingo has already set sail,
0:15:47 > 0:15:50securing a ship's wheel for £50...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Thank you. Thank you. Really kind.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55..which he hopes will steer him to victory.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00As master of the ship, I would expect to be probably...
0:16:00 > 0:16:03It's power boaty. It doesn't seem big enough for a sail ship.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06So it's probably a little fishing boat.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11What I like about this item - it's got some real weight
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and weight with wood is often associated
0:16:14 > 0:16:16with a wood called lignum vitae.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19It's the only wood that'll actually sink.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Whether there's any merit in having a wheel on a ship
0:16:23 > 0:16:28that will actually sink is, er, up for grabs really, isn't it?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33But I like it. £50, great fun. Try and sell this to a ship builder.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36Yes, he's a man with a plan and he's not the only one.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Kate has spied a collection of late-Victorian matchboxes
0:16:40 > 0:16:42and struck upon a bright idea.
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Now I've just spotted some little advertising vesta cases in there.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Now I know a collector in Herefordshire who I think
0:16:49 > 0:16:52would love these but I'm not sure whether those are the right ones.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55So I'm just going to give him a call and have a chat.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58But this collector is no pushover.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01But it's something you MIGHT be interested in? OK. Thanks, Ewan.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Nice to talk to you. Bye.
0:17:05 > 0:17:08Well, it sounds like he might be interested but if not,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10there's definitely a demand for them,
0:17:10 > 0:17:12so we'd better go and have a chat.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Of course, he might not like them
0:17:14 > 0:17:17and remember, nothing is decided until that all-important handshake
0:17:17 > 0:17:19but Kate is going to put her money where her mouth is
0:17:19 > 0:17:21and take the risk.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23Here goes.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25What could you do if I took those two?
0:17:25 > 0:17:28Erm...I've got 55 on each of them...
0:17:28 > 0:17:32- Have you? OK. - ..so we'll do it for 80.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Well, it's a good start but Kate thinks she can do better.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38That one's just a little bit discoloured, isn't it?
0:17:38 > 0:17:41Could you knock just a wee bit more off cos of the discolour?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- I'll do 35 on that.- OK.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47And 30 on that.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Done.- OK.- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Yes, another dual deal for Miss Bliss.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Let's hope her contact doesn't already have those designs
0:17:55 > 0:17:57in his collection.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01These are known as vesta cases after Vesta the goddess of the hearth
0:18:01 > 0:18:04and essentially you put your matches in here...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08..and you've got a little striker on the bottom.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10But these are a little bit more interesting
0:18:10 > 0:18:12because they're advertising vesta cases.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16On this one it says "Cash & Co - footwear experts"
0:18:16 > 0:18:17and you've got a little boot on the back.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21And this one says "M Blackburn - my tailor"
0:18:21 > 0:18:23based in Wigan.
0:18:23 > 0:18:27Now I know that Ewan has got a fantastic collection of these.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29I just hope he likes these ones.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31If not, I'll be looking for another collector.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33And speaking of collectors,
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Captain Bingo is turning into quite the seafaring superfan
0:18:37 > 0:18:39and sticking to his nautical theme,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42drops anchor next to something he hopes could make him
0:18:42 > 0:18:43a titanic profit.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45God, there's some work in that, isn't there?
0:18:45 > 0:18:491940s, '50s. Most of it's mahogany.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51It's lovely, isn't it?
0:18:51 > 0:18:53What could be the best on that?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55- I'd do that for 150.- OK.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Knowing it can pay to buy a bundle, James trawls the stall and spots
0:18:59 > 0:19:03a folding table, which could give him a bit of haggling leverage.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06It could be used on the deck of a boat.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09If you had a smart yacht, you'd like that, wouldn't you?
0:19:09 > 0:19:11And how much have you got on that?
0:19:11 > 0:19:13The very best on that would be £25.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15It looks good on the table.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18He's a salesman, this man, isn't he?
0:19:18 > 0:19:20- Do you want to make it easy?- What?
0:19:20 > 0:19:21170.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24170 for the lot? For the two?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26Yeah.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28- Thank you very much indeed, thank you.- Cheers.
0:19:28 > 0:19:29Really kind.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Bingo sails away with the table and model boat
0:19:37 > 0:19:39and he's twice as happy as he was before.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I like this. It's a beautiful model.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48It's a mahogany model of a dinghy but just beautifully done.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51It's missing a stand, it's missing a sail,
0:19:51 > 0:19:53but apart from that, it's pretty well got everything else.
0:19:53 > 0:19:54It needs a good Hoover.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59I think I can add value easily to this item by merely cleaning it.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02He's on a roll, and back inside,
0:20:02 > 0:20:05speedily spots a barber's stool and grabs it.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08In for a penny, in for pound. Thank you very much indeed.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Spending a final £120.
0:20:10 > 0:20:15And Bingo's day of dealing has come to a stylish end.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16Exhausted and spent up,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19our challengers have charlestoned back to their dressing rooms.
0:20:19 > 0:20:23The judges have marked them on technique, flair and creativity.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25And the scores are in.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Starting with £750, James Braxton wanted to spend
0:20:29 > 0:20:33thriftily today, but bought six items for £435.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Kate Bliss was aiming to make a big spend.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41She may have bought seven items, but actually spent less than James,
0:20:41 > 0:20:44just £383.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47The buying show is over, so it's time for our duo
0:20:47 > 0:20:51to take a bow and critique each other's performances.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Lovely Kate, how have you found today?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55I've had a lovely day,
0:20:55 > 0:20:57and I'm actually pretty pleased with what I've got.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- You look like you've bought quite a bit of... You've got...- Wood.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03A lot of wood and a bit of work to do on those tools.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06You know, I am an amateur craftsman,
0:21:06 > 0:21:09so I'll get the old jigsaw out, round those up.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12They'll look very different. What about your clock? What's this?
0:21:12 > 0:21:14Have you felt the weight of this? This is a seriously heavy clock.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16That is heavy.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21- That's out of a French factory. - The barber's stool is great fun.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- I like it. I really like it. - Your favourite item?
0:21:24 > 0:21:27Probably the earrings, actually.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28They're Norwegian silver,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31but the enamelling on them is really lovely.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35- Very nice. Very nice, lovely. Well, best of luck, Kate.- Well, and you.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38- See you on the other side.- See you on the other side. Best of luck.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Our pair of dynamic dealers must now dance to a different tune
0:21:44 > 0:21:48as they swap their beautiful buying ballet for the frenetic
0:21:48 > 0:21:50footwork of the selling salsa.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53The hunt for profit becomes their new driving force,
0:21:53 > 0:21:56and making the most money is their mantra.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Using all available methods, Kate
0:21:58 > 0:22:02and James will scour the country for buyers, both striving to accumulate
0:22:02 > 0:22:06the biggest possible profits to go to their chosen charities.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08So, at Braxton Towers,
0:22:08 > 0:22:12how is James feeling about his assorted acquisitions?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Well, what a hoard it is. And quite a utilitarian hoard, isn't it?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Sort of rather purposeful-looking stools.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Sort of something that we remember from our chemistry block.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26I need to replace the seats on those.
0:22:26 > 0:22:32They cost me just under £15 each, so if I can get £35 each,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34I'll be doing very well on those.
0:22:34 > 0:22:35And then I've got this lovely...
0:22:35 > 0:22:40This is one of my favourite items, this sort of grate folding table.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43It's extremely heavy, but it's very nice.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47That needs to go to a boat owner for some sort of fancy sailing yacht.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50And then, my fabulous stool.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55I'm hoping to sell that to a rather cool... Maybe a barbershop.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58It gives a barber occasional respite.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01But I'm hoping, with this little lot,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Kate gets no respite.
0:23:03 > 0:23:07James will also need to sell the 20th-century backgammon board and
0:23:07 > 0:23:10his nautical items - the small ship's wheel
0:23:10 > 0:23:14and the early to mid-20th-century model boat.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19Back at her Herefordshire home, Kate is getting down to business.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22My best buy is without doubt my cake stand.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26It really is the best example of pokerwork that I've seen.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29And I've never seen one with a chequered handle.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33My pickle forks, I saw and I had to buy. I think they're really sweet.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37They are made of silver. Actually, now I've got them back home,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I've researched the hallmark and they are
0:23:39 > 0:23:41a little bit earlier than I thought.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42They are actually late-Victorian,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45just, because they date from 1901.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48And I want to sell these to somebody who really appreciates what they
0:23:48 > 0:23:53were made for, and I think I've found a pickling specialist.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Which brings me to my first buy of the day. Now, I've researched the
0:23:57 > 0:24:01stamp here, Davos, which of course relates to Davos, the little town in
0:24:01 > 0:24:06the Swiss Alps. And it was in Davos that the Davos sledge was named
0:24:06 > 0:24:10after the very first tobogganing run in about 1883.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13But now I've done the research, I just need to find a buyer.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17Somebody who will push me over the finishing line
0:24:17 > 0:24:19so that I can glide to victory.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Kate will also need to shift the 1920s silver sugar shaker,
0:24:24 > 0:24:261950s clock,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29the late-Victorian matchboxes
0:24:29 > 0:24:31and the vintage enamel earrings.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36So both our experts are revved up and raring to go on their selling
0:24:36 > 0:24:40sprees, so quickly hit the phones, the web and the road.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43But remember, no deal is sealed until they've shaken on it
0:24:43 > 0:24:45and the money has changed hands.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49Both our experts know the importance of finding the right buyer.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52And in the Welsh town of Hay-on-Wye, with her pickle forks,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56Kate is confident that she's done that just that.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00What better home for my pair of top-quality pickle forks than
0:25:00 > 0:25:03an award-winning pickle and jam-making tea room?
0:25:03 > 0:25:07And what have we here? Exactly that. Let's hope they like them.
0:25:09 > 0:25:13Yes, with £40 invested in them, Kate really needs owners Mike and
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Rachel to fall for her forks.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20So here they are. They come in a beautiful, original leather case,
0:25:20 > 0:25:24actually, which is typically sort of late Victorian in date. Open it up
0:25:24 > 0:25:29and it's in lovely order. You've got a velvet lining there.
0:25:29 > 0:25:34You've got probably the retailers here. The name here for Edinburgh.
0:25:34 > 0:25:38Interestingly, the pickle forks are actually made of English silver
0:25:38 > 0:25:40with lovely little mother-of-pearl handles.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44And the silver was actually assayed, or tested, in Birmingham. It's quite
0:25:44 > 0:25:48usual for me in the antiques business to have a pair like that,
0:25:48 > 0:25:53in their original case. Because they date from 1901, so they are well
0:25:53 > 0:25:56- over 100 years old.- They are dainty, aren't they?- They are small.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59What kind of pickles do you think they would have been used for?
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Small... I was thinking small gherkins or something like that.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Yeah, something like that. - Yeah, you wouldn't use them for
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- pickled onions or something. - No, or pickled eggs.- No.- No.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10You're going to struggle, aren't you, with a pickled egg on there?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- Yeah.- Sliding off, yeah.- OK.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Yeah, they're very nice. - They're beautiful.- Mm-hm.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Are they something you think you might like to purchase as part of
0:26:18 > 0:26:21- your collection or to put on display?- Yeah, no, they'd go on
0:26:21 > 0:26:25display with the others we've got here. No, they'd be nice.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28I was hoping for sort of around the £80, £90 mark.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Because they are quite a nice pair, in their box,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34which you don't often see. How do you feel about that?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37They are a bit small, aren't they, you know, for £80, £90?
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Can you do a bit better? Maybe 60, 70?
0:26:41 > 0:26:45- 60, 70... I'd prefer the 70. - Right.- Um...
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- SHE SIGHS - You couldn't do 80?
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Eh... 75?
0:26:52 > 0:26:5475...
0:26:54 > 0:26:58If you did 80, I could give you a bit of a hand with the pickling,
0:26:58 > 0:26:59if that's any good.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Yes, yeah.- How does that sound to you?- Yeah, no, that sounds good.
0:27:02 > 0:27:07As it happens, we do have some pickled red cabbage to jar.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Do you?- Yeah, so £80 if you are willing to give us a hand.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12- And I'll give you a bit of labour this morning.- That'll be fine.
0:27:12 > 0:27:14- Is that all right? - Yeah, no, that's good.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Fantastic. I love a bit of red cabbage.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- Thank you. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:19 > 0:27:24So Kate got the price she wanted and preserves a tasty profit of £40.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- It's such a fab colour, isn't it, Rachel?- It is beautiful.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31Look at that. This is going to be messy.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Oh, that's really good.
0:27:35 > 0:27:40In Suffolk, James is hot on Kate's heels. He's brought his model boat
0:27:40 > 0:27:44to a yacht club to show Sean, boss of a shipbuilding company.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It cost him £150, so it is time for Bingo to batten down the hatches
0:27:48 > 0:27:51and haggle his way across the high seas.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55Now, here is my rather humble offering in comparison
0:27:55 > 0:27:57to this mighty fellow we're on.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, this isn't a humble offering, this is a...
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Just like what you're sitting on,
0:28:02 > 0:28:06this is a handmade, beautifully crafted wooden yacht.
0:28:06 > 0:28:09And...I'm rather taken with that.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12This is, I would say, 1930s.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It's in a pretty rough old state.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17This is a classic, traditional boat building in miniature.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22- Yeah.- And it's beautifully done because these little ribs would all
0:28:22 > 0:28:24be made from taking slivers of timber -
0:28:24 > 0:28:26in this case, it's mahogany...
0:28:26 > 0:28:29- Yeah.- ..and steaming them, probably just over a kettle,
0:28:29 > 0:28:30- to bend them into shape.- Right.
0:28:30 > 0:28:34I think it's lovely. It needs a lot of work, and I shall take great
0:28:34 > 0:28:35delight in re-rigging it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39Well, Sean seems very taken with Bingo's maritime offering,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42but will he be as keen on the price?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- I said to you an estimate, 200 to 300.- Oof!
0:28:46 > 0:28:49I'm going to be brutal with you because it's going to take me quite
0:28:49 > 0:28:51a lot of work to put this back alive,
0:28:51 > 0:28:55but I'm going to offer you £150 for it.
0:28:55 > 0:28:59How about...how about 220?
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Done.- 220? Thank you very much indeed.- Done.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Thank you, Sean.- I think that's... I'm a very happy with that.- Yeah.
0:29:05 > 0:29:09And so is James, adding £70 to his profit pot.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14And he takes his windswept hair and barber's stool
0:29:14 > 0:29:16to Brighton barber Alex.
0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Free haircut and 125? - Yeah. Put it there.
0:29:19 > 0:29:21THEY LAUGH
0:29:21 > 0:29:25Cutting a deal with a pretty tiny but stylish profit of £5
0:29:25 > 0:29:28plus a free haircut. Suits you, sir.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32James is leading at this stage with two sales to Kate's one.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34But back in Herefordshire,
0:29:34 > 0:29:38Kate is hoping to draw level with her late-Victorian matchboxes.
0:29:38 > 0:29:42Now, I've had Ewan in mind to buy my vestas ever since
0:29:42 > 0:29:43I saw them at the fair
0:29:43 > 0:29:46because I know that he's got an extensive collection.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I've spoken to him about them, he's seen photographs,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51but he hasn't actually seen the real thing.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54So here goes, and I really hope he likes them.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Ewan is a knowledgeable specialist collector, so this really won't be a
0:29:58 > 0:30:01walk in the park. For Kate, it's a tough task ahead
0:30:01 > 0:30:05to make a profitable return on her £65 investment.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Ewan, hi. How are you doing? - How are you?
0:30:08 > 0:30:12- You said you had a collection, but look at this!- I know.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- This is fabulous. - It's amazing, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- So how many have you got?- There's got to be around about 400 there.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19There's 80 in each tray, and there's
0:30:19 > 0:30:22- a few drawers there, isn't there? So...- Wow!- Yeah, it's amazing.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25I've gone a little bit overboard, I know, but at the end of the day,
0:30:25 > 0:30:27it's something that I love
0:30:27 > 0:30:30and I think the social history that comes with it
0:30:30 > 0:30:31is amazing, really, to be fair.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35There are real pieces of social history. I mean, just looking
0:30:35 > 0:30:38at the names on them, there's some wonderful names here.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40They're called celluloid vestas,
0:30:40 > 0:30:42or celluloid match safes over in America.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So they're made from silver-plate and then the celluloid is
0:30:45 > 0:30:48wrapped round and then advertising motif is printed on, basically.
0:30:48 > 0:30:49That's right, it is, yeah.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53Well, I have finally found you two. That one has got the boot on it,
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- which I think is really nice. - Very nice, yeah.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58Now, the other one, I thought was really interesting.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01It is a little bit fox.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03But again, it's a really nice name. You've got Blackburn.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- My tailors.- So the question is, Ewan, do you like them now
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- you've had a chance to look at them? - Yeah, they are very nice,
0:31:10 > 0:31:13like I say. At the end of the day, they're ones I haven't got and,
0:31:13 > 0:31:15as you can see, I'm a bit of an addict.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- So I suppose I would be interested in them.- I was thinking maybe for
0:31:18 > 0:31:23the nice one, perhaps somewhere around 60, 70?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27And maybe for the one that is a little bit stained,
0:31:27 > 0:31:32sort of 40-ish? 30, 40, you think?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Perhaps?- Yeah, I will give you 30 for that one.- OK.- I will give you
0:31:35 > 0:31:38- 30 for that one.- Right.- But this one is a little bit...
0:31:38 > 0:31:40a little bit steep at 60.
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- Is it?- Just a bit.
0:31:42 > 0:31:46I'll give you £80 for the two of them. How would you feel about that?
0:31:46 > 0:31:52Could you, just...just to help me a wee bit, could you just go to 90?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I'll meet you halfway. 85, isn't it?
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- You drive a hard bargain. - I do.- 85 it is.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02She strikes a deal and illuminates her balance sheet
0:32:02 > 0:32:03with £20 profit, then
0:32:03 > 0:32:07spurred on by her success, sells her vintage earrings to vintage dealer
0:32:07 > 0:32:09Marie-Claire in Hay-on-Wye.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12- I think probably around 50 is going to be my best, Kate.- Really?
0:32:12 > 0:32:16- I'm sorry, I couldn't give you any more than that.- Well, you know,
0:32:16 > 0:32:18a profit is a profit at the end of the day.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21- Let's do it.- Fantastic.- Thank you.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25Yes, it might only be £2, but every little helps.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30James has packed the games board that cost him £40
0:32:30 > 0:32:31and headed to London,
0:32:31 > 0:32:36hoping to make his fortune from his friend, backgammon player Jules.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40- Now here is the... - Wow!- ..the Damascus board.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44Well, it's beautiful, isn't it? Beautiful. Mother-of-pearl?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47All this, mother-of-pearl. And the incredible intricate mosaic.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51I mean, the degree of work that goes into these is incredible.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54You know, this is bone and, you know, hardwood and softwood.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56- You like the board. - It's a beautiful board.
0:32:56 > 0:32:58This is a really good sort of bridge, isn't it?
0:32:58 > 0:33:01- That's not a bad bar, they call it.- Bar.
0:33:01 > 0:33:04Some of the tiny little bits of wood here that have just come away.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07It's a... Yeah, it's a nice board. I mean, make me an offer.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10- Well, I was hoping for 200 quid. - Oof!
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I was thinking more along £30 to £40.
0:33:12 > 0:33:14JAMES LAUGHS
0:33:14 > 0:33:18- So we are miles apart here, aren't we?- Yeah.- The board is not antique.
0:33:18 > 0:33:20I mean, I can come up a bit, but not a whole lot.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22I'll give you £50 for it.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25I think I'd want more than that, Julesy.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- 80 is a good buy.- You think so? - Yeah.- I'm not sure if I think so.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31THEY LAUGH
0:33:31 > 0:33:35- Um...- I'd give you a tickle on it. - OK, I'd say I'd split...- 70.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39- 70 is fine.- 70. Go on, well done. - Done.- Well done.
0:33:39 > 0:33:40James took a gamble there,
0:33:40 > 0:33:44but Lady Luck was smiling and he adds £30 to his balance sheet.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49And that £30 profit brings us to the halfway mark, so let's find
0:33:49 > 0:33:53out who's dancing out front and who's dragging their feet.
0:33:56 > 0:34:02So far, James has sold three of his six items and made £105.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06Kate has sold the same number of items,
0:34:06 > 0:34:08but earned just £62 profit.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15So, Bingo has the sweet smell of success tantalising his nostrils,
0:34:15 > 0:34:17and he's ready to charge onwards.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20So, with the wind in his sails and the ship's wheel
0:34:20 > 0:34:22in his hands, Captain Bingo navigates his way
0:34:22 > 0:34:26to the coastal Sussex town of St Leonards-on-Sea.
0:34:26 > 0:34:32# Somewhere beyond the sea... #
0:34:32 > 0:34:33The wheel cost James £50,
0:34:33 > 0:34:38but can he steer antiques dealer Robert towards a higher price?
0:34:38 > 0:34:40- Get it in your hands, Robert. - Oh, super. Yeah, nice.
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- You see these, don't you, on small boats?- Yeah.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48- The size is comparable to the rudder size.- Oh, I see.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52It is rather a nice one. How much are you looking for?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54- I'm looking for big money, Robert. - Are you?- I want three...
0:34:54 > 0:34:57You know, only three figures for this.
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- And what would that be?- What do you think it's worth? What, 150?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Oh, I think that's a little bit much.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07I think it needs to be really near the £100.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09£100 mark? OK.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- Special price to you, Robert, 110. - 110, that sounds brilliant.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- Go on, put it there. Put it there. - I'll buy that from you. Thank you.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18You're going to put it on your riverboat now, aren't you?
0:35:18 > 0:35:20- I will, yeah. - THEY LAUGH
0:35:20 > 0:35:22Anchors aweigh, Bingo!
0:35:22 > 0:35:25He more than doubled his money, making a bracing profit of £60.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Desperate to fight back, though,
0:35:28 > 0:35:33Kate makes a delicious £75 on her Victorian cake stand
0:35:33 > 0:35:35when she sells it to Hereford tea shop owners
0:35:35 > 0:35:37Asanghar and Michelle...
0:35:37 > 0:35:39120.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42..and then moves quickly on to potential sale number five,
0:35:42 > 0:35:45her mid-20th century Swiss sledge.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48Now, I think my sledge was a bargain at the antiques fair,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51and I'm bringing it to some Christmas tree growers
0:35:51 > 0:35:53here in Herefordshire.
0:35:53 > 0:35:57Now, they have a lovely seasonal display, a winter wonderland,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01and I'm really hoping my sledge will fit in.
0:36:01 > 0:36:06It set her back £20, but will owners Colin and Davina put her on the path
0:36:06 > 0:36:09to profit or will it be an uphill struggle?
0:36:09 > 0:36:12This is what I've brought you, which is actually, I have to say,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15- a pretty good sledge. - It's a lovely sledge.- It's good.
0:36:15 > 0:36:16It's a great size.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19You can certainly get two little kiddies on there.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I don't know, Davina and I will probably be in it,
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- going down the back... - Looking at that slope...
0:36:24 > 0:36:26You could get a fair lick-up down there.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30- What does it say?- It says... It's made of ash and oak, I think.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33And it's stamped Davos.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35Now, only the pukka sledges are stamped Davos,
0:36:35 > 0:36:38which refers to the place in Switzerland.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41I think it has a bit of age to it, but it is certainly not antique.
0:36:41 > 0:36:42- So, what do you think?- Yeah.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Is it the kind of thing that would go well in your display?
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Let me turn that back round.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51- I've got an idea of the position that it could go.- Yeah, I think so.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Well, I know I said to you somewhere between £60 to £90.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59- The 90 sounds a little bit dear. - OK.- Quite a lot dear, actually.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00DAVINA LAUGHS
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Could you come up to 80?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Do you think we should go the 80? - I think we should.- We'll go the 80.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08- We'll never get something like that again.- No, we won't get it again.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10- It's lovely.- OK, 80 it is. - Sure?- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I'm going to shake your hand before you change your mind.
0:37:13 > 0:37:14Thank you very much, Kate.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18What an impressive bit of money-making from Miss Bliss.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22She quadruples her investment and glides away with a £60 profit.
0:37:22 > 0:37:25Now she just needs to pop the sledge into its new home.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28Sort of like that.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Pressies on the top.
0:37:30 > 0:37:32I think that looks fantastic.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35And with that, Kate slides into the lead.
0:37:35 > 0:37:37I don't think my sledge could've found a better home.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40There's a good bit of profit in the kitty too.
0:37:40 > 0:37:42I'm picking up speed, Bingo.
0:37:42 > 0:37:44Well, with two items left to sell,
0:37:44 > 0:37:47clever old James has replaced the seats on his stools
0:37:47 > 0:37:52and zeroed in on Belgian restaurant owner Stephane in Eastbourne...
0:37:52 > 0:37:55- Thank you, Stephane.- No problem, pleasure.- BOTH:- Thank you.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00..selling them for a profit of £32.26 after restoration costs.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04With just his folding table to shift, Bingo has cast his net wide
0:38:04 > 0:38:07and headed to Hastings. It cost £20,
0:38:07 > 0:38:11but can he reel in a bit more from Mick at the Fishermen's Museum?
0:38:11 > 0:38:13Feel the weight of this, Mick.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16- I've come here to sell you something.- Oh, no. No, no.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18No, I'm afraid so.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Made of, I think, teak. And I like this sort of...
0:38:22 > 0:38:25What do you call these? Sort of like hatch covers, are they?
0:38:25 > 0:38:27- They're gratings.- Gratings. - They're called gratings.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I thought, with the grating, I thought it would go quite well.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33But the lovely thing about it -
0:38:33 > 0:38:37I always think weight is a sign of quality.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40- Eh...- Do you think the museum would have a nice use for that?
0:38:40 > 0:38:43- Well, I expect we could find somewhere to put it.- Yeah.
0:38:43 > 0:38:46And in fact, funny enough, it's a humble object,
0:38:46 > 0:38:49and you'll think, in a of couple years' time,
0:38:49 > 0:38:54"How did we survive without James' lovely folding table?"
0:38:54 > 0:38:57- That's what you be saying, isn't it, Mick?- Not necessarily.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- JAMES LAUGHS - How about 35 for it, Mick?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02- MICK SIGHS DEEPLY - Oh, dear.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Go on, what do you think it's worth to you? What do you think, 30?
0:39:06 > 0:39:08I wouldn't say that it all. No, no.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10Oh, dear, now he's going to get tough on me, isn't he?
0:39:10 > 0:39:12- I'd reckon 20.- 20...
0:39:12 > 0:39:15I tell you what, split the difference,
0:39:15 > 0:39:18don't put yourself in a corner, 25.
0:39:18 > 0:39:2025, come on. Put it down there.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- OK then, you've pushed me into it. - Well done.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25Yes, that's a £5 profit in the bag.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27And it's a full house for Bingo.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31So the pressure is on for Kate to sell her final items.
0:39:31 > 0:39:36She takes the £85 silver sugar shaker to Glasbury-on-Wye
0:39:36 > 0:39:38restaurant manager Kate...
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- 160?- 160 is great. Thank you very much.- Thank you.- That's super.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47..and almost doubles her money, adding a sweet £75 to her coffer.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51With the finish line looming and time ticking away,
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Kate targets a cafe on the River Wye
0:39:54 > 0:39:59and hopes owner Jane can give her old £80 clock a new home.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02I love the look you have in here.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04I'm thinking that my clock might fit in quite well.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08My clock has a very industrial look, and this of course
0:40:08 > 0:40:12is cast-aluminium, so it is incredibly heavy,
0:40:12 > 0:40:13if you want to have a feel of it.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15It's really light and simple, isn't it?
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- That's what I... - Yes, it is.- It's lovely.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21I was told by the person I bought it from that it came
0:40:21 > 0:40:22out of a French factory.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26You can see the remnants of the dirt there, which I quite like.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28- Yes.- It shows you it's a genuine piece.- Yes.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- It's ready to go.- I really like it. I do really like it.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34I've had a clock in here that I just haven't liked for ages
0:40:34 > 0:40:37and I've been looking for one, so this is amazing. I love it.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40- Well, it's very handy for me.- Yeah, very handy.- Opportune.- It is.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Well, because it is an original sort of '50s piece, it's
0:40:44 > 0:40:47in great condition, all in working,
0:40:47 > 0:40:52I was hoping for somewhere around sort of 220, something like that.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55How does that sound?
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Well, Kate's definitely trying her hardest.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00This sale could make all the difference.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04But before we reveal all, let's have a quick reminder of how much
0:41:04 > 0:41:06they spent at the antiques fair.
0:41:07 > 0:41:11Having each started the day with £750 to spend,
0:41:11 > 0:41:15James bought six items and spent £437.74,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17including restoration costs.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22Kate bought seven items, spending a total of £383.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25But who made the most profits?
0:41:25 > 0:41:28All the money that James and Kate have made from today's
0:41:28 > 0:41:30challenge will go to charities of their choice, so let's find
0:41:30 > 0:41:34out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Well, hello.- Hi. - On this blustery afternoon.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41It is sort of sailing weather, isn't it?
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Yeah, cos you had a bit of a marine theme going on, didn't you?
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Yeah, I had my nice little model boat that somebody really loved
0:41:47 > 0:41:49and that funny ship's wheel.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52What about that funny ship's wheel? How did that go?
0:41:52 > 0:41:55It was more difficult than I thought, one of my last sales.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00- And you?- Well, my sledge, which I loved as soon as I saw it,
0:42:00 > 0:42:02- that went whizzing along.- Good.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Oh, my little pickle forks were a very small purchase,
0:42:05 > 0:42:09but I had lots of fun learning how to make a lovely pickle.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- It's a learning process. - It's a learning curve.- It really is.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- Yeah. Come on, I'm...- Come on. - The suspense is killing me.- Come on.
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Ready, steady...
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Go!
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- Oh!- Yes! Well done, you.- Yes!
0:42:22 > 0:42:23Just-ish.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28There is no just in it, there's about £180.
0:42:28 > 0:42:30JAMES LAUGHS
0:42:30 > 0:42:34- Well done, you.- Oh, brilliant.- Well done.- I think it must have been...
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- What was it?- ..the sledge, actually.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- The sledge, really? - It's going to be a bad winter.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Yes, indeed, the sledge helped.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44But it was also the sale of her 1950s wall clock that pushed her
0:42:44 > 0:42:46past the winning post...
0:42:46 > 0:42:49How does just the very round 200 sound?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Why don't we settle on 180?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Can you go just a tiny bit and say 190?- 190, it's a deal.
0:42:54 > 0:42:59..making a timely £110 profit and making Kate the winner.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Chuffed, that's the word. I am really chuffed.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04And all that hard work has paid off.
0:43:04 > 0:43:08I was pleased with my sales, but Kate did much better than I.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10Oh, well, you can't win them all.
0:43:10 > 0:43:13Yes, James will be doing all he can to redeem himself
0:43:13 > 0:43:16tomorrow in the ultimate antiques challenge -
0:43:16 > 0:43:19the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown.
