0:00:05 > 0:00:07best-loved antiques experts
0:00:07 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I think I see a bargain.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Each day, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:14 > 0:00:16will face a mighty challenge.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Oh, yeah.
0:00:19 > 0:00:21Putting their reputations on the line...
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Ready for battle.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25..they'll give you the insider's view of the trade...

0:00:35 > 0:00:36It really is war.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38..from buying and selling.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40You've got to be in there like a whippet.
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Coming up, Kate's got a problem with a soggy bottom...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Oh! It's soaking wet.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50I so wish I hadn't done that.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54..Caroline has the key to an instant makeover...
0:00:54 > 0:00:56It's got a little bit of damage to the mirroring,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58which always makes one look an awful lot better.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02..and Kate's on a rocky road at the biscuit factory.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05Ooh! I'm going... Oh!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27As the morning sun shines optimistically
0:01:27 > 0:01:29across the French city of Lyon,
0:01:29 > 0:01:33we prepare to follow the epic journey of two fearless explorers,
0:01:33 > 0:01:36as they go in search of valuable new territories and bargain booty
0:01:36 > 0:01:38to bring home to Blighty.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Trying to land her vessel of valuables first
0:01:43 > 0:01:45is the Columbus of collectables,
0:01:45 > 0:01:47a savvy sailor who'll take no prisoners
0:01:47 > 0:01:49in her quest for silver and gold -
0:01:49 > 0:01:50it's...
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Well, if you want an alarm clock, this is the place to come.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Up against her is the Vasco da Gama of vintage,
0:01:59 > 0:02:01who'll steer through choppy waters
0:02:01 > 0:02:03and negotiate with the natives...
0:02:03 > 0:02:05- Bonjour, Madame.- Bonjour.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08..to bag armfuls of amazing artefacts.
0:02:08 > 0:02:09It's...
0:02:12 > 0:02:17If I can't find something amongst all this amazing stuff,
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I'm not worth my salt.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Today, we've dropped anchor at the Sunday market in Villabon near Lyon,
0:02:25 > 0:02:28where our dauntless dealers have each got £750 worth
0:02:28 > 0:02:32of their own euros to spend on items to sell on,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and any profit they make will go to their chosen charities.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38But who will bring back the treasures and trinkets
0:02:38 > 0:02:40and whose ship will sink?
0:02:40 > 0:02:41It's time to find out.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45Ah, Caroline.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- Bonjour.- Bonjour.- Mwah! Mwah!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49- Ca va?- It's fab to be here, isn't it?
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Isn't it gorgeous? What's not to love?
0:02:52 > 0:02:53France, sunshine, brocante.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Yeah. So, have you had a little bit of a mooch?
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Yes. Yeah. Right over there in those big sheds,
0:02:59 > 0:03:00I think it's really expensive.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02They're more fixed shops that are there every week.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Putting me off, are you?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08No, no, no. And then the middle bit, there's little shops either side,
0:03:08 > 0:03:10from mid-century right back to 18th century...
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Yeah, yeah, there's a real mix here.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14I mean, you couldn't really get much more variety.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I mean, there's cast-iron stoves straight out of somebody's house...
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- Yes. Yeah.- ..to reproduction items as well.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Yeah.- Yeah, I think we're going to have fun. Let's get going.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25- Bonne chance.- Bonne chance, cherie. - Au revoir.- Au revoir.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27So both our dealers are happy
0:03:27 > 0:03:30with the wide range of untapped treasures on offer.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Today, Caroline is particularly keen to blow her own trumpet,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37or should that be a French horn?
0:03:37 > 0:03:42I've got one major advantage over Kate in that I speak French,
0:03:42 > 0:03:47and that is going to help me get the best prices and the best deals.
0:03:47 > 0:03:48Ah, tres bon.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51But will The Hawk's superior language skills
0:03:51 > 0:03:53be enough to ground Kate's galleon?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Well, Caroline, you may speak the lingo,
0:03:56 > 0:03:59you may have been to these markets dozens of times,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01but I've got a fresh set of eyes,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04and I'm on a mission, so watch your back.
0:04:04 > 0:04:05And, on that confident note,
0:04:05 > 0:04:09she skates straight towards her first potential purchase.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15So, ice-skating boots...
0:04:15 > 0:04:19I'm not brilliant at ice-skating, but they're a really fun item.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24In good condition. I would think they are probably '60s in date.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I'm going to ask how much they are.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Monsieur...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32- 50.- Bother.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34Erm... Could you do...?
0:04:34 > 0:04:36TRANSLATION:
0:04:41 > 0:04:42- OK.- 25.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43- OK, OK.- OK?
0:04:43 > 0:04:46- OK, OK.- Bon! Merci beaucoup.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Well, "OK" is the same in any language,
0:04:49 > 0:04:54and Kate gets her skates on for just under £22 and takes an early lead.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Well, these are quite interesting,
0:04:57 > 0:04:59because I think Lico maybe is French.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00I'd like to look it up.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02They are leather.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05They're 1960s, 1970s,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08but, interestingly, the steel blades are marked in English,
0:05:08 > 0:05:11and here we've got "Ice Crown tempered hardened steel",
0:05:11 > 0:05:15so even if the boots are French, the steel blades are English.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Now, I should imagine in the 1970s, to buy these new,
0:05:18 > 0:05:20they would have been quite expensive,
0:05:20 > 0:05:23and I think there might be a bit of profit in those.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Across the market, Caroline is hot on Kate's trail,
0:05:26 > 0:05:30and making her first advances into unknown territory.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Oooh.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34A little hibou or owl.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Very Lalique, with this lovely opalescent base.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Ooh, it's 18 euros,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45but I think I might be able to get it even a little bit cheaper.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Time for The Hawk to show off her French.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Excusez-moi, madame.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Madame.- Bonjour.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54TRANSLATION:
0:06:06 > 0:06:09Merci beaucoup.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11So Caroline gets her late
0:06:11 > 0:06:1420th-century owl for just over £10.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Tu-whit, tu-whoo!
0:06:16 > 0:06:18He looks a little bit like Lalique.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Now, if I turn it over, sadly, there is no Lalique mark.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24He's actually just moulded glass.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27And the quality isn't that of Lalique,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30but I just think it is so superb,
0:06:30 > 0:06:34and for 12 euros, it's a steal.
0:06:34 > 0:06:39Caroline stows her glass owl below decks, and it's one purchase all,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41but not for long if Kate's got anything to do with it.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46She's spotted something she could haul all her treasures home in.
0:06:46 > 0:06:47Bonjour.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49TRANSLATION:
0:06:51 > 0:06:53Ooh.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56It's soaking wet. I so wish I hadn't done that.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59Oh, has anyone got a wipe?
0:06:59 > 0:07:01It's quite a nice hamper.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Probably would have been used for luggage, I would think,
0:07:03 > 0:07:08when it was made, but unfortunately that metal latch is missing,
0:07:08 > 0:07:10which is a real shame.
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Monsieur...
0:07:11 > 0:07:14TRANSLATION:
0:07:27 > 0:07:28Merci beaucoup.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34So Kate gets her wicker basket for just over £5,
0:07:34 > 0:07:35minus the wet clothes.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39While I love the rustic charm of this piece,
0:07:39 > 0:07:43it probably dates from about 1900, if not a little bit earlier.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47It's a shame that the clasp here is missing, but the rivets, the wood,
0:07:47 > 0:07:49the handles, crucially,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52cos those nearly always go, are all intact.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56I can see this in a grocer's, obviously clean,
0:07:56 > 0:07:58but laden with goodies.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Miss Bliss may be stacking up the deals,
0:08:01 > 0:08:03but Caroline's drawing a blank,
0:08:03 > 0:08:05and finding things a little too pricey...
0:08:05 > 0:08:062.30.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08No, too expensive.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09We'll move on.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Or just money for old rope.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15Hmm...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Kate, however, is sticking to her mission statement
0:08:18 > 0:08:21and alights on her next potential buyer.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Oh, now those are pretty.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27And you've got the pair, which is quite nice.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29So they're not particularly old.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32They look to be in good condition, but, of course,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35buying lighting in France means they're wired the French way,
0:08:35 > 0:08:36and to sell than in England
0:08:36 > 0:08:39I've got to bear in mind that I'd have to get them safety-tested,
0:08:39 > 0:08:40and there's a cost.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Ah, monsieur...
0:08:42 > 0:08:43TRANSLATION:
0:08:45 > 0:08:46That's 80 to you and me.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48- 80 euros... Pour le deux?- Yeah.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49For the pair.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52Mille neuf cent trente ans.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54- 1930s?- Yeah.
0:08:54 > 0:08:55You think maybe? Maybe 1930s.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Could be older.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Voila. So I'm just checking the facets.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02One, two, three, four, five, six.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04One, two, three, four, five, six.
0:09:04 > 0:09:05Looks to be all good.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07TRANSLATION:
0:09:12 > 0:09:14In the middle, meet you?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Yeah, OK. For you.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17- For me.- For you.- Bon.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Merci beaucoup.- D'accord.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23So Kate gets a healthy reduction on her chandeliers,
0:09:23 > 0:09:27which cost her just under £39, and her face lights up.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Well, I've bought this pair for the look rather than the age,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34because if you look a little bit more closely,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37you can see that the stems are moulded glass, not cut glass,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41and actually the facets look quite late.
0:09:41 > 0:09:44So I think these perhaps date from the 1950s,
0:09:44 > 0:09:47and they look as if they've come straight out of a French boudoir,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49where they would have been very elegant.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53Now, for 45 euros, I think they're a snip.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56She'll need to keep some money back for rewiring costs,
0:09:56 > 0:09:58but that's another glistening find for Kate
0:09:58 > 0:10:01to bring home safely in her ship.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03This brings us to the halfway mark.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07Time to find out who's stuck to their course and who's blown off.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15With a £750 budget, Kate's spent a little under £66 on three items,
0:10:15 > 0:10:19leaving over £684 in her kitty.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Caroline's bought one item for just over £10,
0:10:22 > 0:10:27leaving her just under £740 for the rest of the day.
0:10:27 > 0:10:28Hey, how are you doing?
0:10:28 > 0:10:30- You look exhausted. - I am exhausted.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32- It's warm.- I know.- Are you having fun?
0:10:32 > 0:10:34Yeah, I mean, everybody's super friendly.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37- Aren't they?- Absolutely, yeah.- And it's such a mixture of things.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38It's a bit like being in a sweet shop.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Are you happy with what you've bought?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43I've certainly got a mixed bag, shall we say? But more work to do.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45- I'm going to head that way. - They're going to close shortly.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- I know. Crack on.- See you soon.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Yes, French second-hand markets can close for two hours at lunchtime,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52and our dealers don't want to get stranded.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56But is Caroline rattled by Kate's purchasing claims?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Well, I think she's bought some things,
0:10:58 > 0:11:00and I think she's reasonably happy with those,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02but I'm looking forward to seeing her later,
0:11:02 > 0:11:03and having a look at what she's bought.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06That should be really interesting.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11At 3-1 down, Caroline needs to get a move on, and doesn't Kate know it?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Well, Caroline certainly looks like she's feeling the heat.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19And me? Well, cool, calm and collected, of course.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Yes, but The Hawk has regained her cool,
0:11:22 > 0:11:26and quick-smart found something that couldn't be more French.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30It's a barrel for putting grapes in, I think, for the vendange,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34which is the picking of the grapes for making the wine.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38And being in Lyon, it's a wine region, gastronomic area...
0:11:38 > 0:11:39It's a lovely thing.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Excusez-moi, monsieur.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43TRANSLATION:
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Ooh-la-la.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03I think it needs to be a little bit less.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- OK.- Merci, monsieur.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Merci beaucoup!
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Caroline's persuasive French haggling
0:12:23 > 0:12:25gets her the vintage grape carrier for
0:12:25 > 0:12:30just under £26, and she's closing in on Kate's lead.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31I just love it.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's in great condition.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34It's from this area.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38It's for gathering the grapes to make Beaujolais wine.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40It's in chestnut wood.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43I don't think there's going to be much call
0:12:43 > 0:12:46for grape-picking containers in the UK,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49but I could see it filled with wine bottles
0:12:49 > 0:12:51in a smart wine retailer.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54This is a great buy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57Yes, joking aside, Caroline is on a roll,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00and quickly draws level with purchase number three,
0:13:00 > 0:13:01an Art Deco light shade...
0:13:06 > 0:13:10..for £21.55, and she's in the pink.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14Well, look at this lovely shade, dating from the 1930s,
0:13:14 > 0:13:16late Deco period.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19With these symbols, the birds, the fish...
0:13:19 > 0:13:22These sort of swirling lines, and the colour,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24the opalescence of the glass...
0:13:24 > 0:13:27What I'm going to have to do is take this wiring off,
0:13:27 > 0:13:28because it's different to English wiring,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30and besides, it looks very unattractive.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34It's a very good-looking thing in a great colour,
0:13:34 > 0:13:35and it goes with my outfit.
0:13:37 > 0:13:38Determined to regain her lead,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Kate's found what seems to be a collection of books,
0:13:41 > 0:13:43but looks can be deceiving.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47There's a sneaky hidden secret, because, if I turn it over here,
0:13:47 > 0:13:51you can see that there is a name on the top.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Now, Huntley and Palmers was a biscuit factory
0:13:54 > 0:13:56that was founded in 1822
0:13:56 > 0:13:59in Reading in England by Joseph Huntley.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01In the late 19th and very early 20th century,
0:14:01 > 0:14:04he started making novelty biscuit tins,
0:14:04 > 0:14:07which was all part of his marketing strategy.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11And this is just one of the designs that he came up with.
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Now, I love this sort of thing.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Kitchenalia enthusiasts love it.
0:14:15 > 0:14:19But it's all about condition, and this one is a little bit scratched.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22So I need to go and see if I can get a bargain.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25- Ah, monsieur... Bonjour.- Bonjour. Enchante.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27TRANSLATION:
0:14:34 > 0:14:39Kate's picked up another price, but has she picked up on the compliment?
0:14:39 > 0:14:43I'm trying to sell it in England, where the price is...
0:14:43 > 0:14:45at auction...
0:14:45 > 0:14:48At auction, it would be sort of 50 to 70.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Pour moi?
0:14:59 > 0:15:01I don't know what that was, but it's good.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Thank you very much.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Leaving a besotted Frenchman in her wake,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08Kate gets the tin for just under £52,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11and that really takes the biscuit.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15Caroline is also rubbing shoulders with the friendly locals.
0:15:15 > 0:15:16TRANSLATION:
0:15:29 > 0:15:30Oh.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32He's very interesting, isn't he?
0:15:32 > 0:15:33Indeed.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37And after a quick foray elsewhere,
0:15:37 > 0:15:39Kate has sailed back to the biscuit tin store.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43Just checking this fella out.
0:15:43 > 0:15:49It's French stoneware, and I'm pretty sure it's ovenproof,
0:15:49 > 0:15:54so you could actually bake something in this, or for pate, maybe.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57It's a great novelty piece, and I've got to have it.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02If only there was a nice Frenchman around to give her a good deal...
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- Bonjour, again.- Enchante.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Ah, oui.
0:16:06 > 0:16:08TRANSLATION:
0:16:10 > 0:16:11It is expensive.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13It's not that old.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14It's moderne, moderne.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17'50s to '60s.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Voila.- Oui. Here, just a tiny, tiny...
0:16:20 > 0:16:22You see, they're very little.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26Oui, un petit peu?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Could we say 80?
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Oui, 80 euros?
0:16:37 > 0:16:39- Yes.- OK. Bon.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40Merci beaucoup.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Our French friend almost halves the original asking price,
0:16:45 > 0:16:50and Kate gets the pate dish for just under £69, and trotters off.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52I've had a closer look at this fella and underneath,
0:16:52 > 0:16:56if I very carefully turn him over, there is a mark,
0:16:56 > 0:16:58and I think that's some sort of signature
0:16:58 > 0:16:59that's been impressed in there,
0:16:59 > 0:17:00so that's something,
0:17:00 > 0:17:03but I'm going to have to get a magnifying glass on it
0:17:03 > 0:17:04and do a bit more research when I get home.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08Well, I think this guy is my favourite piece of today,
0:17:08 > 0:17:12and I don't know about him, but I feel like a pig in muck.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14And, not letting Kate hog all the buying,
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Caroline is on familiar territory at a vintage clothing store.
0:17:18 > 0:17:22I love this. It's a really 1950s style.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23Look at this nipped-in waist.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Very fitted, and you would have a great big skirt to go with it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28Well, similar to this.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30TRANSLATION:
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Merci.
0:17:39 > 0:17:40It's 48.
0:17:41 > 0:17:4245.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45It's 45.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Oh, what shall I do?
0:17:47 > 0:17:48What shall I do?
0:17:48 > 0:17:5045 euros for the two...
0:17:50 > 0:17:52I think I'm going to have it.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54Bon. 45. C'est bon?
0:17:54 > 0:17:55- OK.- Yes, right.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59Despite some French resistance,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02Caroline seals the deal at just under £39,
0:18:02 > 0:18:05and that's four buys under her vintage belt.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Meanwhile, Miss Bliss has decided
0:18:07 > 0:18:09the five items she's bought are enough
0:18:09 > 0:18:11and calls it a day.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13Well, that was really fast and furious,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and I'm feeling quite pleased with what I've got,
0:18:15 > 0:18:19so I'm even more curious to find out what Caroline has got.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22Well, she'll have to wait,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25because Caroline is still combing the stalls for another bargain.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Gosh. Well, I've done really well so far,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30but I'm just finding it difficult now.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32People are starting to sit down for lunch,
0:18:32 > 0:18:33and I'm getting a bit peckish too.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37And before you can say bon appetit, she spots a gilded mirror...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It's got a little bit of damage to the mirroring,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42which always makes one look an awful lot better -
0:18:42 > 0:18:44especially first thing in the morning.
0:18:44 > 0:18:45..and snaps it up...
0:18:45 > 0:18:47TRANSLATION:
0:18:48 > 0:18:50..for a little under £147,
0:18:50 > 0:18:55more than all her previous purchases put together.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Well, I couldn't come to France
0:18:57 > 0:19:00without buying a typically French mirror,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03and I bought this one, which is in the Louis XVI style.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07This hails from the end of the 19th century.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It's bevelled around here, and it's got some damage in the glass.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14It's otherwise in really good condition.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17I think some of the gilding needs a little bit of a touch-up.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20I think it's great. There is a lot of mirror for your money.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23Caroline's shiny purchase brings the buying to a close.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Well, I've finished buying for the day.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Phew. That is a relief.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31I've bought all sorts of everything, but I think I've done OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32It's been great.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33Yes!
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Our swashbuckling seafarers
0:19:35 > 0:19:38must load up their spoils and prepare to bring them home,
0:19:38 > 0:19:40but, before they raise the mainsail,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42there's just time to tot up the totals.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46They both started the day with £750 worth
0:19:46 > 0:19:48of their own euros to spend.
0:19:49 > 0:19:52Kate hopes she'll profit from her five purchases,
0:19:52 > 0:19:55costing just over £186.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Caroline believes she'll win the challenge
0:19:57 > 0:20:01with five purchases for just over £243.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Time to reveal their new discoveries.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Ah, ma cherie!- Hello, hello.
0:20:06 > 0:20:07How are you doing?
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Great. I've had a fab day.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11- Oh, I know.- Have you?- I've had a fab day, actually.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12Yeah, you've got some great stuff.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14I like your vintage.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16In fact, I love that jacket.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18Really nice shorty shape.
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Silk-lined from Lyon.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21I love that. But the skirt is amazing.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25It's all raffia and netting, so it sort of almost stands by itself.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27This is lovely. It looks really Art Deco.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- Very '30s.- Yes, yeah.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Is it marked?- No, no.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33Sadly not. It might be later cos I might scratch it on, but, no,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36- I'm only joking.- No, it's a lovely bit of moulding.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Yeah.- Yeah, really nice.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39I just think it's sweet.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41This is fab, and the thing I like about it, actually,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43is the fact it's got an old plate in it.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45- Yes.- And, you know, some people pay good money
0:20:45 > 0:20:47- to have the old plates.- They do.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49- But it's a lovely decorative piece, isn't it?- It is.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53- Yeah. Oh, I love your sanglier. - He's my favourite.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Wild boar, sanglier. He's lovely.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57That lovely treacle glaze.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59I have to say, I've got a bit of porcine envy.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01- Have you?- Yeah, Kate. Yeah, I have. - Yeah.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04- And the basket is rather lovely. - Well, the basket was a bit of fun.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06It wasn't very much money at all, but I looked at it,
0:21:06 > 0:21:07and I could just see it
0:21:07 > 0:21:09with gorgeous French sticks coming out of it.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12I won't tell you what was inside it, though. I've got rid of that.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14- Oh, have you?- It wasn't very pleasant.- Was it dead?
0:21:14 > 0:21:17No, well, not quite as bad as that, but bad enough.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19So, OK, I'm sure it will be better with bread.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21- Yeah.- And your ice-skating boots.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Yeah, no, that's the one I'm slightly worried about,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27cos I would quite like to finish this with two limbs intact.
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- I can see you might have to model those. Are they your size?- They are!
0:21:31 > 0:21:32I think it's time for a glass or two.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34- Don't you?- Oh, I do.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36Come on, let's go.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37- With ice.- Yes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Our Francophile fillies hotfoot it back across the Channel
0:21:46 > 0:21:47with their French finds
0:21:47 > 0:21:49to face the selling stage of their challenge.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Using all methods at their disposal,
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Kate and Caroline must find the best homes and the highest prices
0:21:55 > 0:21:57for their continental collectables,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00with all profits going to their chosen charities.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Back home in Herefordshire, Miss Bliss is assessing her stash.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Well, I certainly managed to pick up a variety across the Channel.
0:22:09 > 0:22:10And I've come back home,
0:22:10 > 0:22:13and some things I've done quite a bit more research on.
0:22:13 > 0:22:15If we start with my favourite,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18which is the wild boar tureen, he's just lovely.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22And the more I look at him, the more detailed I see in the moulding.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25But I've managed to look up that name on the bottom,
0:22:25 > 0:22:27and I'm pretty sure it reads Joaquin,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29and it might be pronounced "Hwa-keen",
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and I've traced that name to a pottery factory,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35actually, in California,
0:22:35 > 0:22:38that started producing wares in the 1930s.
0:22:38 > 0:22:39And I've found out that this
0:22:39 > 0:22:42is actually quite an unusual and rare thing.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Now, my chandeliers, I think, have a gorgeous, delicate look to them,
0:22:47 > 0:22:51and to me they would look great in a bridal boutique.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Now, to my lovely biscuit tin.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57I found out quite a lot about this piece.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02It wasn't until after 1900 that the novelty shaped tins really took off,
0:23:02 > 0:23:05and would you believe the book set, like this,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07was a really popular design?
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Roughly ten variations were made on this theme.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14However, some are more collectable than others.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17The set which has The Pilgrim's Progress,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20The Pickwick Papers and Robinson Crusoe,
0:23:20 > 0:23:21just like my example,
0:23:21 > 0:23:26actually, in good condition, you can pay upwards of £200 at auction,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29so I definitely picked the right one.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32But, as they say in France, you mustn't hang about -
0:23:32 > 0:23:34allez, allez, vite, vite!
0:23:34 > 0:23:38And speedy Miss Bliss must also find a buyer for her vintage ice skates
0:23:38 > 0:23:41and early 19th-century wicker basket.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Over at her East Yorkshire HQ,
0:23:45 > 0:23:48is The Hawk satisfied with her French collection?
0:23:48 > 0:23:53Well, what a wonderful array of things I've bought in Lyon.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Now, this grape-picking barrel hails from between the wars.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's beautifully coopered with these metal straps
0:24:00 > 0:24:02going all the way around it,
0:24:02 > 0:24:07and I'm looking for maybe a wine retailer, wholesaler.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11My favourite piece is this lovely mirror.
0:24:11 > 0:24:13It's growing on me.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15The more I look at it, the more I love it.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17It's a good size.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21It's in exactly the state I would like to buy one in.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25And the costume, I think this needs a good pressing,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29but it's rather pretty and I've got a few leads
0:24:29 > 0:24:31as to where this is going to go.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36I'm having a few second thoughts about the skirt.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40I think it's great, but it certainly needs something underneath it.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44And I don't like the sort of curtain tape heading to the top.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49My lovely little Lalique-esque owl is great,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53and I've found the most perfect place to sell him.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56It's going to be a real hoot!
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Caroline also needs to sell her 1930s lightshade.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Both our experts are gearing up and raring to go,
0:25:04 > 0:25:07scouring town and country to find the perfect buyers
0:25:07 > 0:25:10and make the best profits for their chosen charities.
0:25:10 > 0:25:14But, remember, no deal is sealed until the hand is shaken
0:25:14 > 0:25:16and the money is taken.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18First out of the blocks is Caroline.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21She's had her glamorous mirror delivered to Milton Keynes,
0:25:21 > 0:25:24because she thinks she may have found the perfect buyer -
0:25:24 > 0:25:26specialist French dealer Sophie.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29She knows all about French furniture.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33She lives in France, and she imports a lot of it over here to the UK,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35so she knows what she's talking about.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37She's going to be a hard negotiator,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40but I think it's going to be right up her street.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44The mirror was The Hawk's costliest item at just over £146,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47so will her investment reflect a profit?
0:25:48 > 0:25:52- Hello, Sophie.- Hello, Caroline. - Lovely to see you.- And you!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Do you like it?- I do. I do.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57- The problem you've probably noticed...- Mmm.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00..is that I think somebody's painted over it.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04Yeah, and what a shame. Much easier to just simply gold leaf.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07But it's a very pretty shape. The decoration is in great condition.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10- Yes, it is.- There's a little chip on this side, but...
0:26:10 > 0:26:12And it's wood, isn't it? Because very often they're plaster.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Do you agree that... - Yes, that's all wood, isn't it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17- Wood carving.- Yeah, the bow is wood. - Yeah.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20The condition of the mirror, it's been well loved and well used.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22- Yes.- But I wouldn't change that.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26And I think, date-wise, 1880, 1890.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- Yes, yes.- Would you agree with that? - Absolutely.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31And price, I was thinking, sort of...
0:26:31 > 0:26:33- That was a... - SHE INHALES QUICKLY
0:26:33 > 0:26:34Take a breath, Sophie!
0:26:34 > 0:26:36THEY LAUGH
0:26:36 > 0:26:37I was thinking 320.
0:26:39 > 0:26:43I think, sadly, because it's had gold paint on it...
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- Yes.- ..I might have to negotiate a little harder.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48OK. Go on, then.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51Could we get closer to 250 with it?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54What about 2...80?
0:26:57 > 0:26:59THEY LAUGH
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- I'll do 280.- 280? Oh, thank you. That's brilliant.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06And that gilt-edged deal brings Caroline a whopping first profit
0:27:06 > 0:27:10of over £133, and she sprints into an early lead.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15With five French fancies to sell, Kate is on her way to Ledbury,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19hoping to make a very continental killing with her thoroughly-scrubbed
0:27:19 > 0:27:20wicker basket.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24Now, this is an emporium that has everything from a deli to fashion,
0:27:24 > 0:27:26and I've come to meet the owner, Patricia.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Now, I'm hoping my basket will fit in.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33Remember, the basket was Kate's cheapest buy at just over £5.
0:27:33 > 0:27:37- Patricia, great to meet you. - Lovely to meet you, Kate.
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Well, what do you think of it?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Well, I can see it in the window.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44When we receive French garlic and the onions, perfect.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Back to its home, really.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48But, as we get towards Christmas time,
0:27:48 > 0:27:51then I can see it in one of the other windows with lots of presents
0:27:51 > 0:27:52tumbling out of it.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Well, I think it probably dates from about sort of
0:27:55 > 0:27:581900, or certainly the early part of the 20th century.
0:27:58 > 0:27:59It's got a lot of age to it.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03And the inside I've given a really good scrub and clean.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05I personally really like the fact
0:28:05 > 0:28:07that it's got its original little linen straps here,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10so the lid stays up by itself.
0:28:10 > 0:28:14You can see that, on this clasp, this piece is missing,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16which is such a shame.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19But, actually, if you want to use it for display purposes,
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I guess it doesn't matter too much.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24How does sort of 160-ish sound?
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Cor, she's gone in high!
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Erm... I had started in my head thinking about 130.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Mm-hmm?- Something along those lines.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Could I... Could I push and sort of meet in the middle?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Could we say maybe a nice round 150?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Yes, I'm happy with that.- Wonderful.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46That is an incredible 30 times what she paid for it,
0:28:46 > 0:28:50making Miss Bliss nearly £145 profit.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Absolutely stonking!
0:28:52 > 0:28:56Well, not a bad profit, and I think Patricia's got a fair price, too.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00Well, I'm really looking forward to seeing my basket in the window.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05Both our moneymaking maestros are reaping huge profits so far,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09but can The Hawk pull in front with item number two?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11# Red, red wine... #
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Her grape barrel owes her just under £26,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17so can she harvest a juicy profit
0:29:17 > 0:29:19from Oxford-based wine bar owner Ted?
0:29:19 > 0:29:23- Hi, Ted.- Hi.- Hello. Hi. - Nice to see you.- And you.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- Nice to see you. Take a...- You've had a...- Take a seat.- Thank you.
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Well, you've had a look at this... - I have.
0:29:28 > 0:29:32Well, I was told it was a benne a vendange.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35I think I know it just as a hod, and from between the wars.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37- Yes.- Yeah.- I bought it in Lyon.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Right, which is just south of the Beaujolais region.
0:29:39 > 0:29:42This has dropped down a little bit.
0:29:42 > 0:29:43It happens because it dries out,
0:29:43 > 0:29:45and you just need to put a few pins underneath that.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47That can be easily repaired, yeah.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52I think this would look very good in this establishment,
0:29:52 > 0:29:57to either display wines in, or to plant up with geraniums.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Yes. It's...
0:30:00 > 0:30:01It is a nice piece of kit.
0:30:01 > 0:30:06Well, I was wondering if you might see your way clear
0:30:06 > 0:30:10to give me £130 for this item?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14Could I go down to a local garden centre and buy something
0:30:14 > 0:30:18similar and pay 50 or 60 quid?
0:30:18 > 0:30:20You might, but it wouldn't be the same as this.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22- It wouldn't be genuine. - No, it wouldn't be genuine.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24- Because a lot of those are manufactured.- Yes.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27I was thinking nearer the sort of 80 or £90 mark.
0:30:27 > 0:30:33Well, could we make it a nice round figure of 100?
0:30:33 > 0:30:36I think I could probably go to £100.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- It's not far off.- Brilliant.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- So, is that the sort of thing we're looking at?- Oh, it is.- OK.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42- £100.- Thank you so much, Ted.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45And with that coup de grace, Caroline gathers up a profit
0:30:45 > 0:30:50of over £74 and overtakes Kate with two sales to one.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53And still in Oxford, The Hawk flies even further ahead,
0:30:53 > 0:30:57selling her 1950s jacket and skirt to vintage buyer Hannah.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- And would you do 90?- Go on, then.
0:31:00 > 0:31:01- Are you sure?- Yes, I would.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Lovely. Thank you very much. - Cheers. Thank YOU very much!
0:31:03 > 0:31:08Making a profit of over £51 and going 3-1 ahead.
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Miss Bliss is in Morven and really needs to get her skates on.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Now, it's a while since I've had a pair of these on,
0:31:15 > 0:31:20but I'm hoping these are going to glide me to a smooth profit.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22# Ice, ice, baby! #
0:31:22 > 0:31:25The vintage skates set her back just under £22,
0:31:25 > 0:31:30but will they get a frosty reception from leisure centre owner Sharon?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Wow. How long have you had the ice rink?- Just over five years now.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34- Yeah?- Yes.- Fantastic.- Yeah.
0:31:34 > 0:31:39Well, I'm hoping that you might like my vintage skates.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41- They're lovely.- What do you think?
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I do like them. They're absolutely gorgeous.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Well, I actually bought them in France.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48Did you? Well, I think these are from Germany.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50I know at some point they were made in Austria,
0:31:50 > 0:31:51but these are from Germany.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53- Ah, that's interesting. - But they're lovely.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56So, I would think it wise they are, what, '70s, would you say?
0:31:56 > 0:31:59- Yeah, maybe earlier.- So do you think they might make a nice sort of
0:31:59 > 0:32:01- vintage display piece? - Oh, I think they'd be lovely.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I should put them into the area where the parents sit.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07I've already got a gents' pair, so this would be lovely.
0:32:07 > 0:32:08I'll put them both on display.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13Well, I was hoping for sort of £80.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- How does that sound? - That's not bad, actually.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20I think I could probably get them for about 75, but, having said that,
0:32:20 > 0:32:23with all the packaging, etc, and the postage, that's great.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25- I'll buy them. - Are you happy with 80?
0:32:25 > 0:32:27I'd be delighted. 80 would be fantastic.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Sharon, that's a deal.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much indeed.- Thank you.
0:32:31 > 0:32:36No slippery moment there, as Kate makes a profit of over £58.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38But will she make a clean getaway?
0:32:38 > 0:32:41So, basically, you're just going to move your weight over the foot that
0:32:41 > 0:32:43way, that way...
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- Yeah. Count one, one. - OK. One, one.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49One, one. One, one.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Whoa!- When you get the hang of it, we'll go up to two!
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Yeah, Jayne Torvill's got nothing to worry about(!)
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Well, a few more months with Chris and I might be getting there,
0:33:01 > 0:33:04but, most importantly, for the sale of the skates,
0:33:04 > 0:33:08I managed to keep a cool head and everything went smoothly.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11And that deal signals the halfway point of the selling,
0:33:11 > 0:33:16so let's see who's warming to the task and who's facing the big chill.
0:33:16 > 0:33:21So far, Kate has sold two items and made a profit of just over £203,
0:33:21 > 0:33:25but Caroline has sold three items
0:33:25 > 0:33:28and has nearly £259 in her profit pot.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31So Kate has some catching up to do in Hereford, and,
0:33:31 > 0:33:33before you can say custard cream,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36she's packed up her novelty biscuit tin and made her way to meet
0:33:36 > 0:33:38biscuit company founder Frank.
0:33:38 > 0:33:41- Hello, Kate.- Hello there. You must be Frank.- I am, yes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- This is where it all happens, then? - It is indeed, yes.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45The tin owes her just under £52,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49so will it help her nibble away at Caroline's lead?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Well, Frank, this is the biscuit tin that I told you about.
0:33:51 > 0:33:57And these lovely tins were brought out between about 1900 and 1924,
0:33:57 > 0:34:01I think, by Huntley and Palmers, who were, of course,
0:34:01 > 0:34:03one of the most famous names in biscuit making.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07They were... Well, they were always a name that I was familiar with.
0:34:07 > 0:34:10So this was produced in, actually, ten different versions,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13and this one is one of the rarer ones.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16So what do you think of this tin?
0:34:16 > 0:34:18Well, I'm intrigued by the tin. And I do like the tin.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21It wouldn't be used, obviously, because nowadays it's not airtight.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24- No.- And everybody needs to keep things airtight,
0:34:24 > 0:34:26unless they're going to eat them straight away.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29But as a souvenir, yeah, it's nice.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Mm-hmm. Well, I was hoping for somewhere in the region between
0:34:32 > 0:34:35sort of 200, 220.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39I would have thought more in the region of about £150.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44Could I say somewhere around 180, say?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47I mean, if you need a hand on the production line, I've got time.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49Well, we've got plenty of work.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51- Have you?- Yes, if you're willing to come and do some work,
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- we can go to 180.- Can you? Let's shake on it. Great!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Kate's not short of dough after that deal,
0:34:58 > 0:35:01rolling out a sweet profit of just over £128.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04But her work here is not done yet.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Oh. Fetching, eh?
0:35:08 > 0:35:12- Well, what sort of biscuits are these?- Rocky Road.- Rocky Road?
0:35:12 > 0:35:15They've got chocolate in them!
0:35:15 > 0:35:16Oh... And three...
0:35:16 > 0:35:19We might need you to work a little bit faster, Kate.
0:35:19 > 0:35:23I'm going... Oh! As quickly as I can.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- Oh. What, it's meant to look like that?- Yeah.- OK!
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Give me... Give me just a minute.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29I think Gary can tidy that tray for you, Kate,
0:35:29 > 0:35:31and we'll put you on to another job.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34- All right. Something a little bit easier maybe.- Maybe!
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Well, I'm really pleased that my tin has gone to Frank,
0:35:39 > 0:35:41a connoisseur of biscuits.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43But, when it comes to baking,
0:35:43 > 0:35:45I think he's quite pleased to see the back of me.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49And with food still on her mind,
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Kate sells her beloved 1950s pate mould to Adam,
0:35:52 > 0:35:57owner of an appropriately-named pub in Ludlow, for £180.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59How does that sound?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Yeah, I think we can... We can agree on that.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- That would be fine.- Can we do that?- Yeah.- Fantastic.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Kate adds a profit of just over £111 to her coffer,
0:36:06 > 0:36:10leaping one sale ahead of Caroline in the process.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14But our very own bird of prey isn't slacking and has landed in the
0:36:14 > 0:36:18East Yorkshire countryside with the glass owl in her clutches.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21I'm at the South Cave Falconry and Bird Rescue Centre
0:36:21 > 0:36:24to see Peter with my little owl.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25The place is full of birds,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28and I'm sure he's going to fall for this one.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29Wow, look at this big guy!
0:36:31 > 0:36:33The little owl cost Caroline just over £10,
0:36:33 > 0:36:35but can it make her profits fly?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39- Good morning, Peter. - Good morning.- Morning.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41- How are you?- I'm fine, thank you.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43- Looking after the birds? - Yes, we are. Definitely. Yeah.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- Well, I've brought you another one. - I won't have to feed this one!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48No!
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Well, I bought this in France, and immediately thought of you.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54- Yeah.- Because you house owls as well as having all these lovely hawks.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57We do. We rescue owls, yeah. We have a rescue centre here,
0:36:57 > 0:37:00and we've got a lot of birds which have been taken from the public.
0:37:00 > 0:37:03Well, would you like to re-house this little bird?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05We'll definitely rehouse this little bird.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Well, have a look at it. He's in perfect condition.- Yeah.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11And I was looking for about 50 for him.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13That's fantastic, yeah. Yeah.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16- Brilliant.- Yeah, I'll... Yeah, we're quite happy with that.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18- It's a deal.- It's a deal!
0:37:18 > 0:37:21The little hibou makes Caroline a profit of nearly £40,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23and she claws level with Kate.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26And The Hawk even gets to spend a bit of time with the family.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28Off you go!
0:37:31 > 0:37:34- A little bit more like that. - Yeah.- OK? Here, Casper.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Come here.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38THEY LAUGH
0:37:38 > 0:37:40Came from nowhere!
0:37:40 > 0:37:42He's light as a feather, isn't he?
0:37:42 > 0:37:44- He is, yeah.- He's gorgeous.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48- He's quite happy just to stay here, isn't he?- Yeah, yeah.- Gosh.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50- He's my new friend.- Yeah.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53While Caroline's flying around in Yorkshire,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55Kate is still in Herefordshire.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58She's had her chandeliers delivered to a local interior design company,
0:37:58 > 0:38:01and is hoping for an illuminating profit.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Now, their shop is a converted coach house in an idyllic location.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09And I'm hoping, particularly as this is my last sale,
0:38:09 > 0:38:12the chandeliers will set it off beautifully.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17The glamorous pair owes her nearly £75 after electrical testing,
0:38:17 > 0:38:19so will owner Nigel think they're worth more?
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Well, I see they've arrived safely, Nigel.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- Yes, indeed, yes.- And you've hung them really well up here.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Yeah, these are only temporary fixings, just to display them.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31I originally thought that you were interested in them as light fittings
0:38:31 > 0:38:34- for here.- Yeah.- But could they be something that a client might be
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- interested in?- They could, because they're crystal.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39They look very good in a lot of locations.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Date-wise, they hark back in style
0:38:43 > 0:38:45to the early part of the 19th century, I would say.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48They almost look a little bit Venetian with these lovely
0:38:48 > 0:38:52sort of moulded glass fronts, and faceted glass drops, which I love,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54that catch the light.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56But, actually, they're not very old,
0:38:56 > 0:38:58and I've had my electrician look over them,
0:38:58 > 0:39:00so they've been safety-tested,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02and he says the wiring on them is very modern,
0:39:02 > 0:39:05so I would say in date they're actually late 20th century.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08So you've got the best of both worlds, really.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11Indeed, and they will throw off a really good amount of light
0:39:11 > 0:39:12into a room, and a subtle light,
0:39:12 > 0:39:14which works very well with our designs.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I was hoping for around the £300 mark.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20How does that sound to you?
0:39:20 > 0:39:22I would have thought 300 would be fine.
0:39:22 > 0:39:26OK. Well, that is great for me, Nigel. We'd better shake on that.
0:39:26 > 0:39:27- Indeed.- Thank you very much indeed.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30And what I forgot to mention, Kate, was that we've actually had,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33in the interim, a customer looking at them,
0:39:33 > 0:39:35and they've shown some great interest in them as well,
0:39:35 > 0:39:37so that's absolutely happy days.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40No wonder you were so quick to accept my first offer, then.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43- Indeed.- No, that's great news. - Thank you very much.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45A hassle-free haggle earns Kate her biggest profit of all,
0:39:45 > 0:39:50at just over £225, and she is all sold up.
0:39:51 > 0:39:56What a sale to finish on, a dazzling profit for me, and, even better,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59it sounds like Nigel has already sold them.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04At 4-5 down, Caroline's setting out in the hope of her final deal.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Her rose-tinted '30s lightshade owes her nearly £22,
0:40:08 > 0:40:12and her target is Tim, an Art Deco collector in Hull.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Right, Tim, so I know you are the king of Deco...
0:40:16 > 0:40:17- You think? Right.- Yeah.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20- Very pink.- It is! Is that a bad thing?
0:40:22 > 0:40:24- That's lovely, yeah. Well, it's pretty.- Well, I bought in France.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- Did you?- And there's no signature.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Sometimes it's moulded into the pattern, isn't it?
0:40:28 > 0:40:31- But that's quite interesting. - And what period do you think...
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Yeah, it's definitely '30s, yes, isn't it? Yeah.
0:40:34 > 0:40:36Can you see the light through it as well?
0:40:36 > 0:40:39- Yeah, it looks gorgeous.- Because it's quite shallow, isn't it?
0:40:39 > 0:40:41That interesting, yeah. It's definitely very French.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45- So what sort of price are we looking at?- Well, cut to the quick...
0:40:45 > 0:40:47So, will Caroline's own classy glass
0:40:47 > 0:40:50deliver enough profit to knock Miss Bliss for six?
0:40:50 > 0:40:54We'll find out soon, but before this final deal is revealed,
0:40:54 > 0:40:58let's have a quick reminder of how much our experts spent in France.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Having each started the day with a £750 worth of euros to spend,
0:41:02 > 0:41:06Kate picked up five purchases for just over £222,
0:41:06 > 0:41:08including electrical costs.
0:41:10 > 0:41:14Caroline matched her five but spent a smidge over £243.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17But what matters now is profit.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20All the money that Kate and Caroline have made will go to charities of
0:41:20 > 0:41:22their choice, so let's find out
0:41:22 > 0:41:27who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:27 > 0:41:30- Hello.- How are you? Hi, Kate.- Hello.
0:41:30 > 0:41:33- So, how have you got on?- Well, do you remember the big gilt mirror?
0:41:33 > 0:41:35I do! Good size.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37It was. But I think I got it cheap,
0:41:37 > 0:41:39because it was right at the end of the fair.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41- Cunning!- So I was really pleased with that.
0:41:41 > 0:41:43And the little glass owl, do you remember that?
0:41:43 > 0:41:44Yeah, I do remember that.
0:41:44 > 0:41:48I sold that and I got to walk with a hawk and fly a hawk.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Amazing! What about you?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Well, yeah, I had a few jolly japes as well.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- Yeah?- I... Oh, you know my ice skates?
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- Yes.- So, I skated - well, tried to - and I'm still intact...
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- You are, yes.- So that was good fun.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02So we'd better find out, hadn't we?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Are we ready?- Un, deux, trois...
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Voila. Oh!
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Kate, well done! Well done, you!
0:42:10 > 0:42:13That's pretty good, too!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15- Fantastic!- I think we both did tres, tres bien.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- Yeah!- Well, well done, mon amis.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Oh, merci.- Let's go and celebrate. - On y va!
0:42:20 > 0:42:22Yes, Kate is today's winner,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26and although Caroline did make money on her final sale...
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Can I offer you 50?- Yes. - It's a deal. Pleasure.- It's a deal.
0:42:30 > 0:42:34That £28 gained couldn't hold a candle to Kate's overall profits.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37Well, I am really surprised at that result,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39and absolutely thrilled.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42Caroline was very much in her comfort zone, buying in France,
0:42:42 > 0:42:47so I think it must have been more luck than judgment on my part.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50To be fair, I would have thought I would have beaten her on that one,
0:42:50 > 0:42:53so she really has done brilliantly.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58Yes! It goes to show that anything can happen when two demon hagglers
0:42:58 > 0:43:01aim for punchy profits when their own money is on the line.
