0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:04 > 0:00:07the show that pitches TV's best-loved antique experts
0:00:07 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12I think I see a bargain.
0:00:12 > 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.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20..putting their reputations on the line.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Ready for battle.
0:00:21 > 0:00:24They'll give you the insiders' few of the trade...
0:00:24 > 0:00:26I'm a big boy. I'm a player.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29..along with their top tips and savvy secrets...
0:00:29 > 0:00:31It is not all about what you spend, it's about what you make.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34..showing you how to make the most money...
0:00:34 > 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 > 0:00:45Coming up... Caroline's totting up her figures...
0:00:45 > 0:00:49We have lots and lots of nudes.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52..Kate shares her pearls of wisdom...
0:00:52 > 0:00:56If it feels gritty on your teeth, you know that you've got a cultured,
0:00:56 > 0:00:59or if you're lucky, natural pearl.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02..and a buyer is putting words into Caroline's mouth.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06I have £40. "60."
0:01:06 > 0:01:09This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Roll up, roll up, viewers,
0:01:24 > 0:01:29and jump aboard a rollicking ride as our daring duo perform
0:01:29 > 0:01:32fantastic feats of strength and sleight of hand
0:01:32 > 0:01:36to gather a carnival of collectables for the greatest profit.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40First up, it's our high-wire haggler from Herefordshire.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43She can balance her books with catlike agility,
0:01:43 > 0:01:47and is spellbindingly daring when it comes to profit acrobatics.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49It's Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53It's all about playing the auction game and keeping cool.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Pitted against her is East Yorkshire's most colourful performer,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59who can contort a good deal out of anyone
0:01:59 > 0:02:02with mesmerising, money-making skills.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04And when it comes to aerial feats of selling,
0:02:04 > 0:02:06she always lands on her feet.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08It's Caroline "The Hawk" Hawley.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Swoop in before you know it and grab the deal.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15Today, our travelling antiques experts are pitching up
0:02:15 > 0:02:18at the Ibbett Mosely auction house in Sevenoaks,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21with £1,000 of their own money to spend, and any profits
0:02:21 > 0:02:24they make from selling will go to their chosen charities.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28But who can juggle with fire, and who's a clown?
0:02:28 > 0:02:30It's time to find out.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Hey, you made it, then? - Morning, morning.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Good to see you. - It's a good, good sale.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38- Yeah.- Very small. - It's only about 300 lots, isn't it?
0:02:38 > 0:02:40I actually quite like that,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43because it's going to be fairly fast and furious.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- We're going to be on our toes. - It is, yeah.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48But we've got £1,000, including the buyer's premium -
0:02:48 > 0:02:50it's a hammer of about 850, isn't it?
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Yes. So you've got to keep a mental tally.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- Do you want me to... - I'm hopeless at maths.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56- ..do it for you?- No, I think I'll manage, thank you very much.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59- Come on, I'm going to get in the thick of it.- Good luck.- Bye.- Bye.
0:02:59 > 0:03:04So Caroline hopes her superior maths skills will make her the ringmaster.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07But before the bidding begins, both dealers take a chance
0:03:07 > 0:03:10to browse and devise their auction action plans.
0:03:11 > 0:03:16My strategy today is all about preparation and planning.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I've got down here early and had a really good snoop about,
0:03:19 > 0:03:23and I'm hoping that will put me one step ahead of Caroline.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27For Kate, it's all about a thorough trawl.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30For Caroline, the key is keeping an open mind.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33There's lots of things, so what I've done, I've marked
0:03:33 > 0:03:36my catalogue with more things than I'm clearly going to buy,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40but I'm covering all areas, and I think I'm going to be all right.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43And her hawk eye soon spots something
0:03:43 > 0:03:46she hopes will leave her bathed in glory.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48It's a Victorian pottery footbath.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52It dates from about 1840/1850.
0:03:52 > 0:03:57If you spin it over, we can see here, Berlin Roses is the pattern.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Stone china. I think that makes a great statement piece.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03I'm hoping it is going to be well inside the 100,
0:04:03 > 0:04:05but we'll see.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Yes, with no guide prices provided at this auction,
0:04:08 > 0:04:12both our dealers will have to rely on their own expert valuations.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16And equestrian aficionado Kate is not one to be taken for a ride.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Well, this is one of the first things that I noticed
0:04:18 > 0:04:21in the auction, straightaway. I used to ride as a kid,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23so I'm familiar with horses' saddles.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26There's actually a name under here,
0:04:26 > 0:04:31JA Barnsby & Sons is in the top five saddle makers in the world,
0:04:31 > 0:04:36and I'm hoping that Caroline has walked straight past it.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38With that, Miss Bliss gallops off,
0:04:38 > 0:04:42blissfully ignorant that Miss Hawley also wants to be in the pony club.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Now, this little lot I think is an absolute must.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47I'm definitely going to go for it,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50and it's got a huge amount of tack with it.
0:04:50 > 0:04:55And this thermometer that would go, not in his mouth, but anyway.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57That's...
0:04:57 > 0:05:00So it may come down to a photo finish
0:05:00 > 0:05:02for this late-20th-century saddle.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05And, with the preview session coming to an end, it's time for our
0:05:05 > 0:05:09circus stars to prepare themselves for today's matinee performance.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Well, here we go.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I'm in position right at the back of the room.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15The Hawk is just over there.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19And a bit of a hush has descended on the room.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Here we go, let's buy some stuff.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Something tells me we're going to have a great day,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27but lots of competition. Bring it on!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Yes, and our showgirls had better both be ready,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32as they're not only up against the room and each other,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34but also invisible phone bidders.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38There are no guide prices here, so until each lot comes up,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41they won't know whether they have misjudged the value
0:05:41 > 0:05:44of their saleroom favourites and can afford to bid.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Caroline is first to step out from behind the starcloth
0:05:47 > 0:05:50as an item she spotted earlier is up for grabs.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Now, this is a Victorian footbath,
0:05:54 > 0:05:56and I noticed Caroline looking at this closely.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Wish me luck.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Ten. Thank you, ten there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:0415 now. 15 to you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:0520. 25.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07And she's bidding.
0:06:07 > 0:06:0855, 60.
0:06:08 > 0:06:1065, 70.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12She's still going.
0:06:12 > 0:06:1495, 100.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17100 anywhere?
0:06:18 > 0:06:1995, then.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24She's got it. She's out of the blocks before me.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29She is. Caroline buys the footbath for just over £112, including fees.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34I'd have been happier if it was less, but it's a nice-looking thing.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Mmm, is Kate panicked by Caroline getting in first?
0:06:39 > 0:06:41A modern print of a Spitfire comes up for grabs and,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45without even a look during preview, Kate jumps into the cockpit.
0:06:46 > 0:06:4810 now. £10.
0:06:48 > 0:06:50- 12 now.- I'm not going any more.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52£10, then, all done?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55That's me.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Kate's chocks away with her first purchase for £11.80,
0:06:58 > 0:06:59including costs.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02I'm going to go and have a look.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Hmm, shouldn't you have done that before you bought it, Kate?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Goodness me, she must be stressed
0:07:08 > 0:07:10cos she's just rushed off down the front to look at it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13My grandfather flew Spitfires and Blenheim bombers
0:07:13 > 0:07:15in the Second World War.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18You can almost hear this thundering through the air.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22There's also a great revival in World War memorabilia
0:07:22 > 0:07:23and associated items,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26so this is a great time to be looking to sell a piece like this.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Now, there's a bit of water damage,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31and the frame probably isn't the best, but with a little bit of work,
0:07:31 > 0:07:33I think I could really get this flying.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38And that purchase has done wonders for the Bliss's confidence.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Do you know, it's interesting, here it's a psychological game.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44I feel so much better now I've actually bought something.
0:07:44 > 0:07:48Spirits up, Kate buys a Tunbridge Ware paper knife...
0:07:49 > 0:07:53..for just under £65, including fees, and she's 2-1 up.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Now, this piece is probably a late-19th-century piece,
0:07:57 > 0:08:02and it's made up of gluing together lots of slivers
0:08:02 > 0:08:04or rods of different coloured woods
0:08:04 > 0:08:08and then slicing them into tiny micro-mosaic pieces,
0:08:08 > 0:08:11which are then inlaid in a piece of wood.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14So this little item, actually,
0:08:14 > 0:08:17combines a huge amount of elaborate craftsmanship.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20With this piece, I've got a good feeling.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23With no guide prices in the catalogue, both our experts
0:08:23 > 0:08:27are finding starting prices a bit too high for their tastes,
0:08:27 > 0:08:28and they're up against the wall.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30All finished, then, at 220?
0:08:30 > 0:08:32That's enough for me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:33£220?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36£150 was my limit.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Do you know, this saleroom is very expensive.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42I don't know what I'm going to do, really.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46So will they come to blows as they end up going for the same items?
0:08:46 > 0:08:50The saddle is up next, and The Hawk is trying to gee herself up.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's not going to appeal to lots of people,
0:08:53 > 0:08:57but I don't know, I mean, is it a horsey area around here?
0:08:57 > 0:09:01I think it probably is. Are there any horsey people in here?
0:09:01 > 0:09:03I don't think there are.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Well, they wouldn't turn up in their jodhpurs and boots, would they?
0:09:07 > 0:09:09Start me at £20 anywhere for it? 20.
0:09:09 > 0:09:10And they're off.
0:09:10 > 0:09:1222. 25.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15It's the Hawk versus the outsider.
0:09:15 > 0:09:1682.
0:09:16 > 0:09:17And the outsider's fallen away
0:09:17 > 0:09:20but who's this coming up on the inside?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21100.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22It's Absolute Bliss.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24But who'll be first past the post?
0:09:24 > 0:09:26185.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28That's a lot of money.
0:09:28 > 0:09:29At 185.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Coming in at 190. 190.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- No, I'm out.- At £190 in the corner.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- And Bliss wins it by a nose.- Yes!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Oh, dear.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Kate gets the late-20th-century horsey paraphernalia
0:09:43 > 0:09:46for just over £224, costs included,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49and gallops into a 3-1 lead.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53But this tussle was a mere warm-up for the battle of the bling,
0:09:53 > 0:09:57as our magnificent magnates prepare to get their hands on
0:09:57 > 0:09:59a sparkling run of jewellery lots.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02These tycoons of the auction house will stop at nothing
0:10:02 > 0:10:05to secure the best gems and strike gold.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Now, when it comes to jewellery,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10I think Caroline and I have quite similar tastes.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14Kate certainly likes a bit of bijoux jewellery, and so do I,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18and there isn't a lot of good stuff around.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The question is, who's got the nerves of steel?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26So, £80 in the room now, 90 anywhere?
0:10:28 > 0:10:29- 100 anywhere else?- Kate's in.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- I think I might have a go. - So's Caroline.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35- 100 now.- Oh! Caroline's just snooked in there.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37"Snooked"?!
0:10:37 > 0:10:39110? 120?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41130 now?
0:10:41 > 0:10:43125, then?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44130?
0:10:44 > 0:10:46135?
0:10:46 > 0:10:49- No.- So at £130 all done...
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Yes!- I'd better let her have one.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56So, it's Caroline who's got the metal,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59and the Victorian brooch and 1920s necklaces
0:10:59 > 0:11:01set her back just over £153,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03including costs.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Three little beauties.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Two-strand necklace, with a nine carat white gold clasp.
0:11:10 > 0:11:16Single strand with marcasite and silver clasp.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Lovely thing, ready to go.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22And this is really rather beautiful.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24It's catalogued as amethyst.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27I'm not sure, I'm going to have to check this to make sure it is.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31It's got these little seed pearls and little diamonds around it,
0:11:31 > 0:11:34but I'm very, very happy with this lovely lot.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37Her appetite for jewellery whetted,
0:11:37 > 0:11:40she fights Kate for a white gold ring...
0:11:40 > 0:11:42All done at 170.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Well, I'm pleased with that.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47I haven't got that one, Caroline's got it.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51..and wins it for just under £201, costs included.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55That is gorgeous.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- Can I keep it myself?- No, you can't.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Fashion nowadays is for white gold, platinum, silver.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06It's 18 carat and these beautiful cut blue topaz.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09It's very, very simple,
0:12:09 > 0:12:15and I've got a few people that would be really interested in buying this.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18Caroline's looking smug, but Kate's not on the rocks yet...
0:12:20 > 0:12:23- Yes!- ..finally getting her fingers on some bling
0:12:23 > 0:12:26and paying just over £106 for this modern bracelet.
0:12:26 > 0:12:32This little bracelet really caught my eye, made up of gold and pearls.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37The little test, to tell whether they are cultured or simulated,
0:12:37 > 0:12:41is to run the pearl over the enamel of your teeth, just like this.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Now, if it feels gritty on your teeth,
0:12:45 > 0:12:49you know that you've got a cultured, or if you're lucky, natural pearl,
0:12:49 > 0:12:54because the calcium carbonate, which the oyster secretes,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57is made of little plates that feel gritty on your teeth.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Now, here I know we've got cultured pearls
0:13:00 > 0:13:03and they're combined with nine carat gold
0:13:03 > 0:13:06and, as long as I can find someone who likes it as much as I do,
0:13:06 > 0:13:08I think I've got a winner.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Forced by high prices to scrap over a few precious lots,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15our exhausted dealers have reached the halfway point.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Time to find out where the scores stand.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22From their £1,000 budgets, Kate has netted four lots so far,
0:13:22 > 0:13:25costing £407.10
0:13:25 > 0:13:28and leaving her with just under £593 to spend.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Caroline has bought three lots for £466.10,
0:13:32 > 0:13:36leaving just under £534 in her kitty.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- Hey!- Hey!- We've had a good few battles, haven't we?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44We have! We had a gallop on at that saddle, didn't we?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46We had a right gallop. I really stuck my neck out,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49it's one of the things, actually, that really shouted at me here.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51But the jewellery, you were brave.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54I wanted them, got somebody in mind for the ring, definitely.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- Yes, yeah.- But what's happened to the days where you'd find it
0:13:57 > 0:13:59and you could buy it for 40 quid?
0:13:59 > 0:14:01There's some strong buyers here, they're a tough team.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05- They are a tough team, Kate, but so are we!- Talking of tough teams!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07I'll see you later. Bye, Kate.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11Let's hope she runs out of steam.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Well, that's not likely to happen any time soon,
0:14:13 > 0:14:18so Miss Bliss had better burst into round two like a bat out of hell,
0:14:18 > 0:14:22and she quickly makes a move on a Victorian wash set.
0:14:22 > 0:14:2415 now? 15.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27All done then at 15? 18 now at the back.
0:14:27 > 0:14:2820 anywhere else?
0:14:28 > 0:14:31At £18 all done...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Yes! Spontaneous or what?
0:14:35 > 0:14:36It certainly was.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40Kate spends just over £21 on the jug, bowl and chamber pot,
0:14:40 > 0:14:45including costs, and she's leading, five lots to Caroline's three.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49If there's one thing that sells well in the china market,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52it's blue and white, and this is one of the most well-known
0:14:52 > 0:14:55and famous patterns, called the Willow Pattern.
0:14:55 > 0:15:00They are in fantastic condition and they're well over 100 years old.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03You can tell that because on the bottom of the bowl
0:15:03 > 0:15:06we have the name Wedgwood.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Crikey! Careful, Kate!
0:15:08 > 0:15:11Willow, Wedgwood, England.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15If it said "Made In England", that would signify a 20th-century piece,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18but because we've got just England there,
0:15:18 > 0:15:22we know it dates from about 1895, perhaps even 1900.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26And today, even if you don't want to use them for washing,
0:15:26 > 0:15:29they're lovely decorative items.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31Kate's flushed with her potty success,
0:15:31 > 0:15:34but Caroline's interested in a seat of a different kind.
0:15:34 > 0:15:40So my next lot is this rather nice cane and chrome chair.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42It's very 20th century,
0:15:42 > 0:15:47but I think it's just the sort of thing that the kids are wanting.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Vintage furniture is The Hawk's bag,
0:15:49 > 0:15:52but in this tough auction it's anybody's game.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55I've got a funny feeling that Caroline's got her eye on it,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58so if I want it, I'm going to have to be brave.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00£30 I have to start on commission. 32.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03As bidding hots up, The Hawk pounces.
0:16:03 > 0:16:0665 anywhere? 65. 68 now?
0:16:06 > 0:16:08£65 at the back there.
0:16:08 > 0:16:0968 anywhere else?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15No, I'm going to let her have it, I don't like it that much.
0:16:15 > 0:16:16I'm happy with that.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20I can place that all day long.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24So, the Hawk gets a ringside seat and pays just under £77,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28including costs, and she's at four buys to Kate's five.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Fantastic Scandinavian look about it.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34I think it probably only dates from the 1980s.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37There's no breaks, it's in really good condition.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I think that is going to look cool absolutely anywhere.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43And let me just see, is it comfortable?
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Ooh, it is.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47There's no time to relax
0:16:47 > 0:16:51because a mid-20th-century mirror is coming up, and guess what?
0:16:51 > 0:16:54They're both battling for the same item once again.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58This is a real decorator's dream.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00I'm sure Caroline's interested cos I saw her looking at it.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04It's good quality, I think it's really nice.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Fingers crossed I might get it.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08£50. 60 anywhere?
0:17:08 > 0:17:1160. 70? 80?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Let's hope it stays with me.
0:17:13 > 0:17:1690 now in a fresh place. 100?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19No bids from The Hawk yet.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22140. 150.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24It's not cheap.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26165.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Caroline's coming in against me.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29Looking for 170 now.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- 170.- No, I'm out.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33Done at 170.
0:17:35 > 0:17:39Well, the little sneaker, just came in to try and pip me at the post,
0:17:39 > 0:17:42but I've got it, and I'm pleased!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45So, it's Kate who lands the mirror for just over £200,
0:17:45 > 0:17:48including costs, and it's a showstopper.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Though it isn't old, if you look at the design of it, it goes
0:17:52 > 0:17:56right back to the 18th century and the height of the Rococo style.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00We've got C scrolls, called so because they're C-shaped,
0:18:00 > 0:18:03and the fact that the carved wood is actually pierced
0:18:03 > 0:18:08makes it quite a fragile structure, but also a very elegant one.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12And with that buy, Kate now has six items to Caroline's four
0:18:12 > 0:18:13and she's loving it.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Caroline's still struggling to buy a few things,
0:18:16 > 0:18:21and actually she has got less than 50 lots to do it in,
0:18:21 > 0:18:22so she's under pressure.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I can see the steam rising there.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28So, I've got a few lots coming up...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33..and I must try and stay calm.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37And first on her wish list is a brass table lamp...
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Start me at £20 anywhere for it?
0:18:41 > 0:18:43..and after some illuminated bidding...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45£42 all done.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Thank you.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51..it's The Hawk's for just under £50.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Beautiful Corinthian column table lamp, in brass.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01It's got a lot of age to it, well, I would say the 1920s/30s.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05It will need completely rewiring and PAT testing
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and I'm going to invest in a new shade for it,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14and I think that would sit very nicely in many a home.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Miss Bliss is still in pole position,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20and thinks this vintage toy car set might help her maintain her lead.
0:19:20 > 0:19:25It's a popular item and the bidding is already up to £90.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29At £100 with the lady. 110 anywhere else?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31At £100 then, all done.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36The vintage car set is Kate's for £118, fees included,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38but is she happy with her lot?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40This is in super condition.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43It doesn't look like it's been played with.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46We've got a trailer with a little model Ferrari
0:19:46 > 0:19:50and then we've got the Land Rover that pulls it along.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Now, this probably dates from the early 1960s,
0:19:53 > 0:19:56and it's got its box, which collectors love.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59The model cars were Kate's seventh and final item,
0:19:59 > 0:20:02but Caroline is not quite done.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Here we have quite a selection of nude sketches.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Caroline joins the bidding at triple figures.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11With you at 150. 160 anywhere?
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Done at 150.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Very pleased. Not least because it's getting near the end of the sale.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20She seals the deal for £177, including costs.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Now, avert your eyes, she's about to get them out.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29We have lots and lots of nudes.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33Now, as far as I can see, most are not signed,
0:20:33 > 0:20:38but I think, for somebody that is into drawing,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40or somebody that's into nudes -
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I think we all know a few of those...
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Speak for yourself.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47..I think these will make quite a good little lot.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49And, with budget left to spend, The Hawk is back
0:20:49 > 0:20:52in her vintage comfort zone, winning a '60s record case,
0:20:52 > 0:20:54complete with discs.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56All done at 20.
0:20:57 > 0:20:58Oh, yeah.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01It's hers for just under £24, including costs,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03and she's in retro heaven.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I thought, initially, it would be £60, £80.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I know somebody,
0:21:10 > 0:21:15and he is a DJ, specialising in 1950s/1960s,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19and I'm really hoping he's going to be the man to buy them.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23So, auction over, our high-wire heroines come back to Earth with a bump.
0:21:23 > 0:21:25Let's tot up the totals.
0:21:25 > 0:21:31From a £1,000 budget, Kate bought seven lots and spent £746.94.
0:21:31 > 0:21:35Caroline also bought seven lots and spent a little more -
0:21:35 > 0:21:38£792.96.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40But all that matters now is profit.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Our mistresses of the big auction take a bow
0:21:44 > 0:21:46and review each other's performance.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49- What a battle we've had, what a day. - I've got the scars.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53- Oh, dear!- Hey, the first thing I want to talk about is this saddle.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55I'm really envious of you.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59- I know you paid money for it, but I think it's a good thing.- Yeah.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00They are so expensive.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03I paid a lot of money for that, thanks to you.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05You will get out of that very well, I'm sure.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Well, what do you think of my mirror?
0:22:07 > 0:22:11I think it's stunning and it makes a great statement on the wall.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14- And it's wood, isn't it? It's carved wood.- It is. It is carved wood.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17- It's not old, though. - I thought it looked great.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- Gold your thing?- I personally prefer white gold, silver,
0:22:21 > 0:22:23but I think that will sell.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25What do you think of my nudes?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27There's a serious amount of sketches in there.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- You've got a wad of them.- Yes.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32But, actually, a little bit envious of those.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34And this is really dinky.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37It's so Swinging Sixties, isn't it?
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- Isn't it?- You can see it with the little kinky boots and miniskirt,
0:22:40 > 0:22:42- going down the disco.- You can.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44This, I think, of its type, it's a lovely example,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47but they're just a bit out of fashion, are they not?
0:22:47 > 0:22:49I know, but roses are never out of fashion.
0:22:49 > 0:22:53I love roses and I think just this blue and white...
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I'm a sucker for it. And I know I've got my work cut out,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59- but I will find a buyer.- Yeah. - It's been a long day, though, Kate.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Hasn't it just? Crikey!
0:23:01 > 0:23:04I don't know about you, I could do with a good cup of tea.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Yes. And feet up, or feet in footbath.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Oh, yeah. Let's fill it up.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12That's a great idea. Come on.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20And there's no time to waste, as this auction was just the first step
0:23:20 > 0:23:23on a long and thrilling journey. Now our dealers must go all-out
0:23:23 > 0:23:26to sell their items and make more money than their rival,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30with all the profits going to their chosen charities.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Both head back to their bunkers to map out their selling strategies.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37In Herefordshire, Kate is sifting through her spoils.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42Well, I'm back home at Bliss HQ and I've unpacked everything
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and, actually, I've already cracked on and had a bit of work done
0:23:45 > 0:23:47on my Spitfire picture.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I've had a specialist remount it to cover up that water damage
0:23:50 > 0:23:53on the mount. That's cost me £25.
0:23:53 > 0:23:56My mirror, now I've got it out of the auction house,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59the only thing about this, which I discovered after I'd bought it,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01is it has a little piece missing.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03But, guess what? I have the piece.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05So it just needs a little bit of wood glue
0:24:05 > 0:24:06and we've got a perfect mirror.
0:24:06 > 0:24:11My little letter opener, or paper knife, is quite a specialist area.
0:24:11 > 0:24:15In fact, a lot of the collectors are around Tunbridge,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18so I may even have to think about mailing that one out.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22My gift set was actually only produced for three years,
0:24:22 > 0:24:25between 1963 and 1966,
0:24:25 > 0:24:28so it's not a particularly common piece.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33So I need an historic racing car enthusiast who's going to love that.
0:24:33 > 0:24:36So, time to saddle up and get going.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Kate will also need to find buyers for her modern bracelet
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and Victorian wash set.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Over in East Yorkshire, Caroline is weighing up her wares.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Well, the spoils of auction.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54Now, the pearls with the brooch/pendant,
0:24:54 > 0:24:57I'm thinking that a girl can only have so many pearls.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00So what I'm going to do is split those.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04I think I'm going to find somebody for the necklaces
0:25:04 > 0:25:07and somebody else for the brooch.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09The ring is delightful.
0:25:09 > 0:25:14I've had it looked at and it is not, in fact, blue topaz,
0:25:14 > 0:25:17it's actually aquamarine.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22This portfolio of nude drawings is really interesting,
0:25:22 > 0:25:26but I can't find the artist, so I have to deduce that
0:25:26 > 0:25:31it was just some keen amateur artist and I'm on the lookout for
0:25:31 > 0:25:36quite a specialist collector, maybe artist.
0:25:36 > 0:25:37And, finally,
0:25:37 > 0:25:42this little 1960s record case is crammed full of little singles -
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Beatles, Cilla Black,
0:25:45 > 0:25:50so I'm going to find a super-cool guy or girl to sell those to.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Caroline also needs to find buyers for her Victorian footbath,
0:25:53 > 0:25:57'80s chair and Corinthian lamp base.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Both our savvy sellers must open their contacts books,
0:26:00 > 0:26:02man their mobiles and log on to their laptops,
0:26:02 > 0:26:06using every resource they can to hunt down the sales
0:26:06 > 0:26:08that will make their profits soar.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10But, remember, until they've shaken on it
0:26:10 > 0:26:14and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Kate is first to take off and, keen to sell her Spitfire print,
0:26:17 > 0:26:21she pitches up at a windy Shobdon Airfield in Herefordshire.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26Well, that plane's taking off, let's hope my sale does, too.
0:26:26 > 0:26:31After restoration, the 20th-century print owes her just under £37,
0:26:31 > 0:26:35so she hopes cafe-owner Jim will make her profits soar.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- Hi, you must be Jim?- Hi, Kate. - How do you do?- Great. And yourself?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Yeah, very well, thanks, great to meet you.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45- Great.- Let's get the wrapping off.
0:26:45 > 0:26:46It's a fabulous subject.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49You've got the Spitfire coming out of a thundercloud.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- It's quite a dramatic picture. - It's very dramatic.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54It is really very good, yeah.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Yeah. The artist, of course, is Barrie Clark.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59He was born in the 1940s, in Hampshire,
0:26:59 > 0:27:03and his passion is aircraft.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06And this is actually one of the pictures he is best known for.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10And I've spent a little bit of money on getting it remounted.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13- So, what do you think of it? - It's fantastic, it's really lovely,
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and I think it would fit in very well with what we have here.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20Yeah. How does around the sort of £220 mark sound?
0:27:20 > 0:27:23That's within our budget, I think so, yes.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- I mean, that's brilliant for me, if you're happy?- Yeah, absolutely.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- I think it's wonderful. - Wonderful. Let's shake on it.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Kate scores an impressive profit of just over £183
0:27:34 > 0:27:38after restoration costs, and she's flying high.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I don't think I could have found a better place for my Spitfire
0:27:40 > 0:27:43to be on display. Now, I've done all my checks,
0:27:43 > 0:27:46just ready for air traffic control to give me the all clear.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Yep. Can you hear me, boys?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51I'm ready.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Yeah, I said I'm ready. Hello.
0:27:54 > 0:27:55Hello!
0:27:55 > 0:27:57Hello?
0:27:57 > 0:27:59But, after that stunning success,
0:27:59 > 0:28:01Kate comes back down to Earth with a bump
0:28:01 > 0:28:04when she sells her Tunbridge Ware paper knife for a profit
0:28:04 > 0:28:07of just 10p to collector Peter in Hereford.
0:28:09 > 0:28:13In East Yorkshire, Caroline has brought her vintage pearl necklaces
0:28:13 > 0:28:16to show a very discerning customer.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19Well, I've come to the local pub to see Tracy and her granddaughter
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Arabella, who's going to be two.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26Now, I think these short ones will be absolutely beautiful
0:28:26 > 0:28:29for Arabella, who loves to dress up.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33And Grandma Tracy loves pearls, too.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Pearls for a two-year-old?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Caroline, you move in some fancy circles.
0:28:39 > 0:28:41Hello.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Hello, Arabella.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45Now, first of all I've brought those.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48Oh, Caroline, they're lovely.
0:28:48 > 0:28:53They're cultured pearls, they're about 1920s, 1930s,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56and the clasp is silver.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57Oh, look. Yes.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Just need to road test these.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03And they're the sort of thing she can wear when she's 21, or...
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Oh, I think that's a yes. - That's a deal.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08Hmm, they seem tough enough.
0:29:08 > 0:29:14And then these, and the clasp this time is nine carat white gold...
0:29:14 > 0:29:17- Oh, they're lovely. - ..with a tiny diamond in.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- So, what for both? - 150 for the both?
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I think we've decided we're having those, don't you?
0:29:25 > 0:29:27- Would you like those?- Yeah.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Shall we say 140 for them both?
0:29:30 > 0:29:31140.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Yes. Go on, it's a deal.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- I wouldn't dare argue with Arabella! - It's a deal!
0:29:35 > 0:29:38Bye, sweetheart.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40- Bye.- Bye.- Bye.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Two very happy ladies and one extremely happy dealer.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47The necklaces came with a Victorian brooch,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50which Caroline sells to jewellery dealer Richard in Hull...
0:29:50 > 0:29:54- 190.- Sounds like a deal.
0:29:54 > 0:29:55Lovely. That's beautiful.
0:29:55 > 0:30:00..banking a profit of just over £176 for the entire lot.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04And she completes her hat-trick of sparkling transactions
0:30:04 > 0:30:06when she sells her 20th-century ring
0:30:06 > 0:30:09to contact Libby in the Yorkshire Wolds.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- What about 300, then? - I'm going to say yes.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14- Are you going to say yes? - I am going to say yes.- Thank you.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16I should've said 250!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20And with a third profit of just over £99,
0:30:20 > 0:30:23Caroline is ahead by three sales to two.
0:30:25 > 0:30:26Back in Herefordshire,
0:30:26 > 0:30:30Miss Bliss is hoping for big profits from the saddle and tack
0:30:30 > 0:30:32that cost her nearly £225.
0:30:32 > 0:30:35She's had them delivered to a local stud farm.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I am a little bit nervous about this sale.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41The saddle was THE thing that I wanted at the auction
0:30:41 > 0:30:43and, of course, I had to battle Caroline hard for it.
0:30:43 > 0:30:45You're hungry.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49She's come to meet stable-owner Jenny and her master saddler, Michael.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- Hi there, Jenny. Good to see you.- Hello, Kate.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55- You must be Michael.- Michael. How do you do?- How do you do?- Hi there.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58- So this is a pretty special stud, isn't it?- Yes.
0:30:58 > 0:31:03They are pure desert horses, mainly from the royal stud of Bahrain.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05You've got another special owner, too, haven't you?
0:31:05 > 0:31:08One very special owner and I'm very honoured,
0:31:08 > 0:31:12Her Majesty the Queen keeps two of her stallions here.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Wow. Now, Michael, you're here to cast your eyes over my saddle.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18This is a general-purpose saddle.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21I mean, I can check the tree to see if the tree's OK.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23So what's the tree?
0:31:23 > 0:31:26The tree is basically what the saddle is made on.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- The tree is like the chassis of a car.- OK.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32- Swing that round.- Yes.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Can you see how that shape is the shape that you would fit to
0:31:35 > 0:31:37- a thoroughbred?- Right.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40And most of the horses here, being Arabs, are
0:31:40 > 0:31:42- much rounder in shape.- Oh, OK.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45This would be far too narrow to put onto one of these horses.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- Is that right? - I mean, it's beautifully made.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50It's made out of lovely leather.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Would you say this was, what,
0:31:51 > 0:31:54somewhere between five, ten years old, something like that?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57More like 35 to 40 years old.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Would you? You've got a little hat, as well, which I can throw in,
0:32:00 > 0:32:03but I know you've got to be really careful about
0:32:03 > 0:32:06- having second-hand riding hats. - That's right. We never do.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10We don't know if that hat's had a knock, in which case it's not safe.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12But what do you think of the saddle?
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Well, I know Michael says it won't fit my horses, but I do like it.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18I would be interested in it if the price was right,
0:32:18 > 0:32:20just as a collector's item.
0:32:20 > 0:32:25OK. So if I said, I mean, somewhere around the sort of 380...?
0:32:25 > 0:32:28- How does that sound? - I think that'd be OK.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Well, that's great for me, if you're happy with that.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32- I'm happy with that, yes.- Wonderful.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Yes, Kate trots off with a profit of just under £156
0:32:37 > 0:32:40and an equestrian treat into the bargain.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Now, I don't want to put any pressure on you,
0:32:42 > 0:32:45but this horse does belong to Her Majesty the Queen.
0:32:45 > 0:32:46- Really?- Really.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48Honestly? Thank you, Jenny.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51Lovely to meet you, Michael. Thank you very much for your help.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Well, keep up, Caroline. Tally ho!
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Go on, walk on.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00And once she's finished sitting on Her Majesty's horse,
0:33:00 > 0:33:03she turns her attention to her Victorian potty,
0:33:03 > 0:33:05which she's thankfully not sitting on -
0:33:05 > 0:33:07selling it, along with the washing set,
0:33:07 > 0:33:10to inn-owner Stewart in Herefordshire.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13- Could I say 120?- That sounds like a reasonable price to me, yes.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16- Lovely.- Deal. - Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20And with a profit of almost £99, she's one sale up.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Caroline is in Derbyshire,
0:33:23 > 0:33:26hoping the singles case that cost her just over £23
0:33:26 > 0:33:29will put vintage entertainer Paul in a spin.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- Hi, Paul.- Hiya.- Hello, how are you?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I'm all right, thank you.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I brought this little case I was talking about.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Full of records, but I just think the case is fab.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Yeah, I like the case. That's really nice, yeah.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43- Do you? It's you, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- You can see it sort of swinging along Carnaby Street, or something, can't you?- Yeah.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50I'm sure you've been swinging along with it, as well.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53Oh. Just a little.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55Is it something you'd like?
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- Yeah.- I was looking for £60.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04I think we've got better ways of negotiating with just, you know,
0:34:04 > 0:34:09- face-to-face.- Right.- I've got this. - Oh, my goodness, what is this?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11What is it? Oh, my goodness.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15Paul, what are you doing?
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Brilliant.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Hello.
0:34:20 > 0:34:26To be honest, I was looking a little bit more about £40.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28"60!"
0:34:28 > 0:34:30What about if we met halfway?
0:34:30 > 0:34:32About 50. "50?"
0:34:32 > 0:34:34Oh, yes!
0:34:35 > 0:34:38"I think that would be great."
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Caroline leaves the stage with a profit of £26.40.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48Not bad when someone else has negotiated for you.
0:34:50 > 0:34:52Well, Paul's really happy with his record case.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55He might have made me look a bit of a dummy,
0:34:55 > 0:34:58but I've made a little bit of profit on that.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02And that vintage ventriloquism brings us to the halfway point,
0:35:02 > 0:35:04so let's take a look at the figures.
0:35:04 > 0:35:10Kate has done four deals, making a profit of £437.86.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12Caroline has also done four deals,
0:35:12 > 0:35:16but has made a lower profit of £302.40.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21So Caroline's got some catching up to do in round two, but she's got
0:35:21 > 0:35:24naked ambition on her side, in a portfolio of nudes
0:35:24 > 0:35:27that cost £177 under her arm.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30She's meeting artist Chiria in Cambridgeshire.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Oh, these look really interesting.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35I would say these were art school drawings.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Do you think they're all by the same hand?
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I wouldn't have said that person drew that one.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44You can just tell by the style of it.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Are these something that you might be interested in purchasing?
0:35:48 > 0:35:52Yes, because I do teach,
0:35:52 > 0:35:57and having examples of things is really very useful for me.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02I was looking at between 250 and 300 for the lot.
0:36:02 > 0:36:06Yeah. 265?
0:36:06 > 0:36:10265.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14- 270?- 270.- That's a deal. - It's a deal.- It's a deal.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Those sketches make Caroline a good profit of £93
0:36:17 > 0:36:21and she gets a little something extra on top.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I'm looking for features that are peculiar, if you like, to you.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Oh, I've got lots of those!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Oh, my goodness.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33How clever are you?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36And that's 275, please, Caroline.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38I know! I owe you a fiver!
0:36:39 > 0:36:42Caroline also sells her '80s chair for £100,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44making a profit of just over £23.
0:36:44 > 0:36:48It goes to David, who owns a B&B in Staithes,
0:36:48 > 0:36:49and Caroline is sitting pretty.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53Absolute Bliss is now running two sales behind,
0:36:53 > 0:36:56but she's in Herefordshire, hoping to drive up her profits
0:36:56 > 0:36:59with her vintage toy cars that cost £118,
0:36:59 > 0:37:03so she's tracked down Jonathan, who restores historic racing cars.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07- Ah.- You must be Jonathan. - Kate. Hello.- How do you do?
0:37:07 > 0:37:09- Very well.- Very nice to meet you.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11You've got some amazing things in here. What's this?
0:37:11 > 0:37:15This is a 1965 Cobra which won 39 races.
0:37:15 > 0:37:20Well, from the big thing to my little Corgi model.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24As you can see, on the back, you've got a racing Ferrari.
0:37:24 > 0:37:28- A 156 sharknose Ferrari. - Exactly. Yeah.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33It won the World Championship in 1961 and there aren't any left.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36- No real ones. So it's pretty unique. - Really?
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Well, is this a piece you might like to add to your collection,
0:37:39 > 0:37:41or perhaps put on the side in the workshop?
0:37:41 > 0:37:45I think we could possibly find a home for it, for the right price.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I was hoping for around the £280 mark.
0:37:51 > 0:37:52Sharp intake of breath!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57- 250? - 250's a good round figure.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59- I like the sound of that. - OK.- Yeah, I can do that.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02- OK. Done. - Great. Thank you very much.
0:38:02 > 0:38:03- Thank you.- Lovely.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06And with this magnificent profit of £132,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Kate's hoping to throttle the competition.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12Caroline, I hope you're keeping up, cos we are racing ahead.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Let's go, Jonathan.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Attempting to draw even,
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Kate brings her modern pearl and gold bracelet to jeweller Robert
0:38:23 > 0:38:27in Hereford, who weighs the gold and gives her a price.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29About £170.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30I mean, 170 is great for me.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- Yeah, you're welcome, darling. - Wonderful.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Thank you so much. - Thank you very much.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Our golden girl walks away with a shiny profit of £63.80,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41leaving her with just one item to sell.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46Caroline's in Etton with her Victorian footbath, which cost £95.
0:38:46 > 0:38:50She's hoping to make a splash with china collector Vicky.
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Do you remember you bought a lovely blue and white plate from me,
0:38:53 > 0:38:55- a long time ago?- Yes.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58Well, that's why I thought of you when I bought
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- this mid-19th-century footbath. - Oh, wow! That is lovely.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05I love the shape, it's beautiful.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Yeah. I think they look beautiful potted up with something.
0:39:08 > 0:39:10- Lavender.- With lavender.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Well, we're sitting here amongst the lavender.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16Now, I was hoping for 220 for it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20- 200?- 200?
0:39:21 > 0:39:25- Could you squeeze another fiver. 205?- All right, then.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Oh, thank you, it's a deal. - You're on.- It's a deal.
0:39:28 > 0:39:32Caroline adds nearly £93 to her profit pot
0:39:32 > 0:39:35and Vicky adds another item to her collection.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Caroline's on a roll and heads to the beautiful seaside village
0:39:38 > 0:39:42of Staithes in North Yorkshire with her 1920s lamp.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46It owes her just under £90, after a rewiring and PAT testing costs,
0:39:46 > 0:39:51and she sells it to Victorian B&B-owner Stuart for £100...
0:39:51 > 0:39:54- OK, it's a deal.- Brilliant.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58..making a small profit of just over £10, and she's all sold up.
0:39:58 > 0:40:02Has Caroline's final profit pushed her ahead of Kate,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05or will Miss Bliss's last deal be the decisive one?
0:40:05 > 0:40:10Back home, she's repairing that slightly damaged mid-20th-century mirror.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13So what I'm going to do is get my wood glue,
0:40:13 > 0:40:16put a little bit just on here
0:40:16 > 0:40:19and then repair it just like that.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22All mended, she's brought it to show local hotel owner Yvonne.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26Now, I am a little bit nervous about this piece.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28It's cost me £200,
0:40:28 > 0:40:31but I've done my research and I'm hoping that the glamorous interior
0:40:31 > 0:40:35of this place will be just right. Fingers crossed.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Well, Yvonne, what do you think of this?
0:40:38 > 0:40:40It's absolutely beautiful, Kate.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44I have to tell you, it has had a very small repair,
0:40:44 > 0:40:48just to one very end of the leafage scroll there,
0:40:48 > 0:40:49and that's been re-glued.
0:40:49 > 0:40:52But you can hardly notice it, I think, I'm sure you'll agree.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54So, you think it would be fitting here?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56I think it would look absolutely superb.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58I think it would go with everything beautifully.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02Well, I was hoping for sort of towards the £500 mark.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Well, £500 is a lot of money.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Kate's going all out, but, before we find out
0:41:07 > 0:41:10whether she adds a glittering profit to her pot
0:41:10 > 0:41:12and who becomes our queen of the knick-knacks,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15let's recap what they spent at auction.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18Both started the day with £1,000 to spend.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Kate bought seven items,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23spending a total of £771.94,
0:41:23 > 0:41:26including restoration costs.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29Caroline also bought seven lots,
0:41:29 > 0:41:31spending just under £833,
0:41:31 > 0:41:33including electrical costs.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35But who has made the most profit?
0:41:35 > 0:41:39All of the money Kate and Caroline have made from today's challenge
0:41:39 > 0:41:42will go to charities of their choice, so let's find out
0:41:42 > 0:41:46who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50- Hi.- How are you doing?
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- I'm good. And you? - Yeah, pretty good. Excited.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55- Been busy?- Yes, really busy.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- How did you get on, then? - Do you remember my Spitfire print?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Yes.- That I bought on a knee-jerk reaction.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- Yes.- I sold it to a lovely cafe on an aerodrome.
0:42:04 > 0:42:06- Nice!- It was good fun. How about you?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08I want to know about your sketches.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Yes, they turned out to be art school sketches
0:42:11 > 0:42:14and I sold them to a portrait artist, and she loves them.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16And a bit of profit, too.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Yeah. We'd better cut to the chase, then.
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- Let's get to the bottom line, Kate. - Oh, my goodness. OK.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23- Are you ready?- I am.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25One, two, three, go!
0:42:27 > 0:42:30- Kate, that is amazing! - Wow, that's pretty good, too.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33- Wow!- It was that Spitfire that got you there.
0:42:33 > 0:42:34Well, the Spitfire and...
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Oh, actually my mirror did very well, too.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Yes, Kate's the winner today with her profit pot topped and tailed
0:42:40 > 0:42:43by the sale of a Spitfire print and that fancy mirror...
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- Perhaps 410.- Great.
0:42:45 > 0:42:51..for a profit of over £209, leaving Caroline in her wake.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Well, I didn't know whether I was quite going to pull that one
0:42:54 > 0:42:58out of the bag. The Spitfire print was such an impulse buy -
0:42:58 > 0:43:00boy, did THAT help me out!
0:43:00 > 0:43:02And I won! Yes!
0:43:02 > 0:43:05I'm very pleased with what I made
0:43:05 > 0:43:07and I think Kate's done exceptionally well.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10It must've been the Spitfire which flew.
0:43:10 > 0:43:14But Caroline will have another opportunity to overcome her rival
0:43:14 > 0:43:18tomorrow, when they visit an antiques market in France.
