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 antiques experts against
0:00:07 > 0:00:10each other in a all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I think I see a bargain.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Each day, one pair of duelling dealers will face
0:00:15 > 0:00:16a mighty challenge.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Oh yeah!
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Putting their reputations on the line.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Ready for battle.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25They'll give you the insiders' view of the trade...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27I'm a big boy. I'm a player.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29..along with their top tips and savvy secrets...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32It's not all about what you spend. It is about what you make.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..showing you how to make the most money...
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 brings a stallholder down to earth.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48Er, I'm thinking about 150.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Oh! I do need to sit down.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54Caroline's knowledge is right up to date.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58All these numbers in the corners will date this to the very day of
0:00:58 > 0:01:01the month of the year of registration of this pattern.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05And Kate's got a lot of bottle when it comes to selling.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07How does 380 sound?
0:01:07 > 0:01:10This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Surrey, where two of our top
0:01:28 > 0:01:32antiques players are limbering up for an on-court battle to secure
0:01:32 > 0:01:34the silverware and make the most profit.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39First out, she's a cunning competitor with a love of spin,
0:01:39 > 0:01:42always has her eye on the ball, and can cover a court of
0:01:42 > 0:01:44collectables in a flash.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46It's Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50No rest for the wicked. I'd better get a shift on.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Kate's against an outstanding opponent in crisp whites,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58who can fire off a volley of deals...
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Do you know, I do like doorknobs.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02..and won't hesitate to use a backhand move.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05I'm fighting fit and ready to go.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08It's Caroline "The Hawk" Hawley.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Today, they're grappling on grass
0:02:11 > 0:02:14at the Decorative Home and Salvage Show in Surrey.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18They have £750 of their own money to spend on items to sell on,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21with all the profits going to their chosen charities.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25So, who will be serving for the set and whose racquets
0:02:25 > 0:02:28will be coming unstrung?
0:02:28 > 0:02:31- Hi, Kate.- Hey! There you are! Good to see you!
0:02:31 > 0:02:33- What do you think of it?- It's great. I've never been here before.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35No, I haven't either.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37It's got a sort of a French feel about it, I think.
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I know we're in Guildford.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41It is a bit interior decorator stuff, isn't it?
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- It is.- Right up your street!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45- I think it is going to be a bit expensive.- Do you?
0:02:45 > 0:02:48There are some stalls that look very, sort of, high-end retail.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52- Well, we've got, what, £750? - Yes.- Which is quite a lot.- Yeah.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- Yeah, what are you going to be looking for?- Well, not sure exactly,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- but, erm, you'll have to wait and see, won't you!- Oooh!
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- We'd better get going, then. - We had!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05So, Caroline's giving nothing away to Kate,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07but what is her big match gameplan?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Well, this is a wonderful fair.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14It's very small, but it's full of unusual items.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17I'm not going to struggle today and I'm going to get something
0:03:17 > 0:03:19a little bit interesting.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22So, Caroline's playing on her preferred surface,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25and Kate knows she's going to be on the back foot.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Well, I have had a bit of a sniff about here this morning,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31and this fair's got a lovely French brocante feel to it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34But, unfortunately for me, that's going to put Caroline
0:03:34 > 0:03:35right in her comfort zone.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37It's just her kind of thing.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39So, I've got to go up a gear.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42I want to buy quality and I can't hang about.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44Oh, morning.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Well, it seems to be advantage Miss Hawley on this one,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50and straightaway she spots something she likes.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52How much is your lovely cartwheel?
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- 110.- 110?
0:03:55 > 0:04:00On this wonderful day in Loseley, how low could you go?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02It would depend on what you would offer.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04It's a big one, isn't it?
0:04:04 > 0:04:05It is a very big one.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Make me an offer.- 60-ish.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11We can meet a bit closer from 110 to 60.
0:04:11 > 0:04:1350?
0:04:13 > 0:04:15That's the wrong way, isn't it?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Nice try, Caroline.
0:04:16 > 0:04:1865?
0:04:18 > 0:04:22I was thinking my final price would be 75.
0:04:22 > 0:04:2470 and you've got yourself a deal.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25And I've got myself a wheel.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27You're a cheeky monkey, you are!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29And you're a wheeler dealer.
0:04:29 > 0:04:30Only if you pay me now.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32I'll pay you now, sir.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35- Thank you. It's a deal. - Cheers, thank you very much.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40And it's 15-0 to Caroline with her late 19th-century piece.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Well, I'm absolutely delighted with my first very quick purchase
0:04:44 > 0:04:46of this French wheel.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48It's in good, original condition.
0:04:48 > 0:04:49The size is great.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51It's exactly what I want.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54The seller told me he bought this in France
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and I can just imagine this with its other wheel
0:04:57 > 0:04:59and the chariot in the middle.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02It really is a lovely thing.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05It's going to go downhill now - I can see I've peaked too early!
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Stay confident, Caroline. You've already got your rival in a sweat.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Now, I've made my way down this main drag of the fair,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16and I haven't seen Caroline at all -
0:05:16 > 0:05:18which is slightly concerning me.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Has she found a really good stall right down there?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24I think I'd better go and check it out.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26It seems Kate is rather rattled.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Where is she?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32But it's not long before she spots something she likes.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36You haven't got another one of those, have you?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38No, just the one, I'm afraid.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42Bedside tables like this are great, and really quite commercial,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45but it's always nice to have a matching pair.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48So, one on its own, I'd probably be a bit conservative about.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52This one has got a really nice breccia marble top.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54It's got a good, red colour.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, what's the best price on that, madam?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58I could probably do 65.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Hmm.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02You couldn't do 45?
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Just for me?
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I could probably go down another ten to 55.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10I do like a round figure. You couldn't say 50 and I'll meet you?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11- Go on, then, 50. Yeah.- Done.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13- Great, thank you. - Thank you very much.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Lovely.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Brilliant. I'm up and running.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20And I think this is a really nice, tidy first piece.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23The important thing when you look at marble-topped pieces is
0:06:23 > 0:06:26that there aren't any bad cracks or chips,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29cos that just puts people off.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32But, actually, it looks really nice.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35And then a painted base, which is just a little bit worn,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37which is how people like them these days.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40So, a little bit of wear to the front here.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43I would say it's probably early part of the 20th century.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45So, quite commercial.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48It is, actually, a bedside piece, a bedside cabinet,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52but with the marble top, you could actually put it in a kitchen.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Our sporting ladies are at one-all.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57But, hang on, Kate's still on court.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Is she going for a second service?
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Just as I was leaving the stall, something else has caught my eye.
0:07:03 > 0:07:04Come on.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08I quite like your ladder. Would you say it's an apple ladder?
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- Yes, I would.- It's what I would call an apple ladder.- Yeah.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13So, what are you looking for, for that?
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Erm, I'm open to offers. Why don't you...
0:07:15 > 0:07:18Are you, now? I'm going to be super cheeky.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19Would you do a fiver?
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Ooh, that is cheeky.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- No. No way.- What would you do?
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Er, well, for you, 20.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'm thinking a tenner and I'll meet you in the middle.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28How about 15?
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Oh, you're killing me.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30Yeah, I know.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31What about a cheeky 12?
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Go on, then. Let's do a cheeky 12.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Fantastic.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38So, that's a brace of aces from the athletic Miss Bliss.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40They don't make them like this any more.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The construction of it is actually quite detailed.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48You can see where the rungs go through the main posts each side.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52You can see, in the vulnerable places, like at the top and
0:07:52 > 0:07:54at the bottom, we've got metal bars,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57just to strengthen it against damage.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59It's got a lovely weathered look to it,
0:07:59 > 0:08:01so it's quite difficult to date,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05but I would probably put it at sort of 1930s, maybe 1940s.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09Now, back home in Herefordshire, the country is covered in
0:08:09 > 0:08:12apple orchards, and this is exactly where I'm going to take this.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16So, despite a jittery start, Kate is now queen of the court.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19Caroline is finding it difficult to return serve,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22with high prices putting her off her game.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24How much is your bench?
0:08:24 > 0:08:25450?
0:08:28 > 0:08:29How much is your boat?
0:08:29 > 0:08:30475.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31475.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35That is gorgeous. Thank you.
0:08:36 > 0:08:37MUSIC: Walk On By by Diana Ross
0:08:43 > 0:08:46But there's no such leisurely browsing for Miss Bliss.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48She's 2-1 up and far from done,
0:08:48 > 0:08:52paying £40 for this butler's table and adding item number three
0:08:52 > 0:08:54to her ever-increasing haul.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58So, this carved, bamboo-like structure at the bottom really dates
0:08:58 > 0:09:01it, sort of early Edwardian, I would say.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06And if you look underneath, you've got the woven straps here.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08You can see straightaway, it's not a modern piece.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Now, I think I'd like to try and get a little bit more colour and patina
0:09:12 > 0:09:15into the top. Elbow grease, that's what it needs.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17But it's certainly got potential.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Nice one, Jeeves.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22Trailing behind and keen to feather her nest with more purchases,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26The Hawk has spotted something that could help her game soar.
0:09:26 > 0:09:27CELESTIAL MUSIC
0:09:27 > 0:09:29- Hello.- Hi.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32How much are your angel wings, please?
0:09:32 > 0:09:33I had 65 on them.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I can do about 50 now.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37They've just come out of Bruges last weekend.
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Did they fly over?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40No, I brought them!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43There's a little bit of discolouration on one of the
0:09:43 > 0:09:44feathers, I've seen.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Is it otherwise in fairly good order?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48In quite good order, yes, they are, actually.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I think they have been a stage prop at some time, so...
0:09:50 > 0:09:51But they're just a bit of fun.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53They are. I like a bit of fun.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56What is the very best you could do on them?
0:09:56 > 0:09:57It has got to be 50, I'm afraid.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Go on, I'll have those at 50. - OK?- Thank you.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Well, she said she was going to buy something interesting,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06but this is positively out of this world.
0:10:06 > 0:10:10How gorgeous are these angel wings?
0:10:10 > 0:10:14It's swan's-down and these lovely feathers. I would say they're '40s.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17I mean, this sort of, it's almost seersucker ribbon,
0:10:17 > 0:10:21that's very indicative of that period, and I don't think I'm going
0:10:21 > 0:10:24to have any difficulty finding a home for them.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Well, after that heavenly volley, Caroline comes back down to earth
0:10:27 > 0:10:33with a purchase of a cast-iron brolly-and-stick stand for £130.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35I've just broken my mould.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39I've bought something English for the first time this fair.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42This is English cast iron.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44As far as I can see there is no maker's mark on it,
0:10:44 > 0:10:48but if we turn it round, this is how I know the age of it.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51There are so many reproductions about.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52First of all, pick it up.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54This is really heavy.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56And a more precise way of telling,
0:10:56 > 0:11:02this registration lozenge on the back was used between 1843 and 1883.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08And all these numbers in the corners will date this to the very day of
0:11:08 > 0:11:12the month of the year of registration of this pattern,
0:11:12 > 0:11:15and I would say this is mid-19th century,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18but we'll have a look when I get it home.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20And with that crosscourt shot from Caroline,
0:11:20 > 0:11:22we've reached the halfway point.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25Time for a swig of barley water and an action replay of what
0:11:25 > 0:11:26they've spent so far.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32From a budget of £750, Kate has made three purchases
0:11:32 > 0:11:37and spent £102, leaving her with £648 in her kitty.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42Caroline has also made three purchases and spent £250,
0:11:42 > 0:11:45meaning she has £500 left in her pot.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Hey, I've been looking for you everywhere!
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Now, they didn't have chocolate chip, so I got you Eton mess.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- I thought it's got to be a winner. - Thank you. I don't know if I should take this, you know.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- You're trying to butter me up, aren't you?- What, me?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- I'll take it anyway. - I need to slow you down.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Cool you down, anyway.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- So, what do you think of it, then? - I love it. I knew I would, though.
0:12:03 > 0:12:05- Loads of French things.- I know. - I've only bought one English thing.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07- Have you?- Yeah. - You've gone very French.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10What have I bought? Yeah, a little bit of both, actually.
0:12:10 > 0:12:11- Have you?- Yeah.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Have you bought big or small?
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- A bit of both. - And how are you finding the prices?
0:12:16 > 0:12:17- OK.- This is worrying.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19You must have gone off like a rocket, though.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21- I couldn't find you anywhere. - I did, I did,
0:12:21 > 0:12:22I only do one speed and that's fast.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Yeah. Well, it sounds like I've got some time to make up.
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Oh, well, thanks for this, Kate.
0:12:27 > 0:12:29That's all right - you owe me one.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33So, after ice cream stopped play,
0:12:33 > 0:12:36both our antiques athletes are back out on court,
0:12:36 > 0:12:39and Caroline's ready to deliver a big serve.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41Well, thanks for that lovely ice cream, Kate,
0:12:41 > 0:12:42but it won't slow me up.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44I need to get on with my buying.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46Caroline is on the offensive,
0:12:46 > 0:12:50and Absolute Bliss needs to up her game.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52I have to say, Caroline looked quite confident,
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and my instinct was right, she's buying French.
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Well, it looks like I've got a fight on my hands - better press on.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Ooh, racquets at the ready.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03But it's Caroline who's first up,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05and she does well to spot this vintage bike
0:13:05 > 0:13:07amongst the other knick-knacks.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10I think it's probably 1960s.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12It looks '60s, it really does,
0:13:12 > 0:13:14and it's got the nice, red, Michelin tyres.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17- And has it got its toolkit in here, you say?- Yes.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19Yeah, there's a toolkit still in one of the panniers.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21What's the best you could do on that?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23I usually trade them at £60.
0:13:23 > 0:13:24- Do you?- Yeah.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26It's the thing to be seen on, isn't it?
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Sunday morning, going down to the shop?- Is it?- Yeah.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32I'll give you £50.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34- I'll do that.- Thank you! - Thank you very much.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37Canny Caroline gets a tenner off the asking price
0:13:37 > 0:13:39and freewheels into the lead.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Look at my bike.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45French, barn find, the seller told me.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50The saddle looks a little bit hard, but it's an original leather saddle.
0:13:50 > 0:13:54Bikes are really, really fashionable and I think, with a little bit
0:13:54 > 0:13:58of TLC, this could be ridden away tomorrow.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03Now at 4-3 up, Caroline is leading in this very French open,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07but across the field, Kate is now interested in a German player.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Can I ask about the table and chair set?
0:14:09 > 0:14:12Yes, they're Bierkeller sets from a German beer hall.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16"Partner von Farny. Getranke Rist?"
0:14:16 > 0:14:19"Getranke" is something to do with drink, isn't it?
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- Oh, you've got another one over there?- Yeah.- OK.
0:14:21 > 0:14:23So, they're not rare, then?
0:14:25 > 0:14:27What's your very best to take one off your hands?
0:14:27 > 0:14:29120.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30I'm thinking more, sort of...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- 75.- No.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34- No?- Cost me more.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37What could you do to meet me?
0:14:38 > 0:14:42If you took that one now, £100.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45And that one?
0:14:45 > 0:14:46£100.
0:14:46 > 0:14:47HE CHUCKLES
0:14:48 > 0:14:4990, final offer.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Five.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53Done.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Yeah.
0:14:55 > 0:14:57So, what do you think?
0:14:57 > 0:14:58It's pretty basic, really.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00It's almost industrial.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03It could be 1950s, but it isn't.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06In fact, it's probably less than 20 years old.
0:15:06 > 0:15:09So, I can see myself perhaps selling this to a pub that's got
0:15:09 > 0:15:12outdoor seating or any eatery, really.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14Well, it's certainly no-frills,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17but all I want is a plain, simple profit.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21So, in this fast and furious game, we are at deuce,
0:15:21 > 0:15:22with four buys apiece.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25But The Hawk's eye has now landed on a garden item,
0:15:25 > 0:15:28as she goes in for the killer shot.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30Well, I've spotted your wheelbarrow.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33- Yeah?- I think it's rather gorgeous. - Thank you.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Now, what is the price of that fine thing?
0:15:36 > 0:15:38I could do 55.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- Would you go 40?- 45.
0:15:41 > 0:15:4340, and it's a deal?
0:15:43 > 0:15:44I'll wheel it away.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49- Go on.- Thank you. - £40, cos you're so nice.
0:15:49 > 0:15:50Thank you!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53A good baseline shot as she charms a £15 discount
0:15:53 > 0:15:55and rounds off her buying.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00I've bought this lovely French child's wheelbarrow.
0:16:00 > 0:16:04It's an absolute copy of an original adult version.
0:16:04 > 0:16:08I would think it's sort of fairly early 20th century, maybe 1920s.
0:16:08 > 0:16:09It's made in softwood.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Original paint on it.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13With this metal-bound wooden wheel.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Very often they have been replaced and you get a sort of rubber wheel.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Not the same at all.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21I think this is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm on the search
0:16:21 > 0:16:24for my very own Mr McGregor's garden to put it in.
0:16:24 > 0:16:30Our barrow girl has made her final purchase, and is retiring from play.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Well, I said I would buy interesting items, and I jolly well have.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35If Kate's things are half as interesting,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37we're going to have a competition on our hands.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Yeah, well, this is a contest, a fact that hasn't escaped Kate's notice.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48She is sizing up something huge as her fifth potential buy.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Hi there.- Hi there. - Tell me about your wine rack.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54We bought all these in the Champagne region in Reims.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56So is it for Champagne bottles?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58It is a Champagne riddle rack.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01- What are you looking for for it? - We've been asking 250 on them.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03But we're open to offers.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04Are you, now?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07What is your lowest you could do?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10I could shave it down to closer to 200 if you're very keen.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16- How far apart are we? - Yeah, I'm thinking about 150.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18I do need to sit down.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Maybe... Shall I get you some Champagne?
0:17:20 > 0:17:21So if you say 150, and I say 250,
0:17:21 > 0:17:24do you want to meet in the middle and we have a deal?
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Let me have another look at it.
0:17:26 > 0:17:27Come on, I know you like it.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Do you know, I really do like it.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33You couldn't do 180, and that's right in the middle between us.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Oh, no, I've been shaved down too many times.
0:17:35 > 0:17:36190, I can do.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Well, I'll tell you what, if I come up to 190,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40could you throw in the bottles?
0:17:40 > 0:17:42- Just sets it off nicely. - It does, doesn't it?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Yeah. You can have those five - that's a deal, then.
0:17:44 > 0:17:46- 190.- Thank you very much.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Thank you very much.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52A tough match against a difficult player, as Kate shells out twice as
0:17:52 > 0:17:55much for the rack and empty bottles as she has on any of her other items,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58but she is delighted with her trophy.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It's known as a riddle rack because of the way it was used in the
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Champagne-making industry.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08Now, a worker in the factory would come along and he would have to turn
0:18:08 > 0:18:13each of the bottles in many racks just like this, riddle it that way,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15and then riddle it the other way,
0:18:15 > 0:18:18basically to shake the sediment into the neck of the bottle.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21We've got the stamp there, with France on it,
0:18:21 > 0:18:24so we know it's come straight out of a Champagne factory.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29Nowadays, all this process is mechanised, so that helps to date this.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Probably, I would say, to the mid-20th century.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35Hopefully, by the end of the week, I'll be popping a cork.
0:18:35 > 0:18:36Cheers to that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40So, Kate's buying comes to an end, and with the scores level,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42our lady players head for the locker room.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45But before they critique each other's ground strokes,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48let's have a look at their total spend.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Both our dealers started with a £750 budget.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56Kate bought five items and spent £387.
0:18:56 > 0:19:02Caroline also bought five items costing slightly less at £340.
0:19:02 > 0:19:06But before they head for home, it's time to peruse each other's purchases.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- Hi.- Hey.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10The end of a long day!
0:19:10 > 0:19:11Oh, my gosh, yes, but what fun.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13- Loved it.- Really good fair.- Yeah!
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Just like being in a French market.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Well, obviously, the bedside cabinet is very French with that marble top. too.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20And in good condition.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23And what about my garish orange table and benches?
0:19:23 > 0:19:27I don't love that, Kate, if I'm really honest.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Do you know what? I wouldn't buy it for me,
0:19:29 > 0:19:31but it's quite trendy at the moment.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35I think, yeah, it's a good colour, and it is a good sort of narrow size.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Yeah. And then this is my big chunk.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But again it's got a good look about it, hasn't it?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It has. Be nicer if the bottles were full.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Wouldn't it just?
0:19:44 > 0:19:45What about yours?
0:19:45 > 0:19:50Well, I've splashed out on this lovely pair of angel wings.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- Is that what they are?- Yes.- I don't know why, I was thinking Swan Lake.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I mean, it is a pair, is it, and you can put them on?
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Yes, oh, yes.- The mind boggles!
0:19:58 > 0:20:00- What about the wheel? - The wheel's lovely, yes.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02It's got a real look about it, hasn't it?
0:20:02 > 0:20:03And a lot of people love these.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05So, yeah, I think that's nice.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07I liked it because it's slightly bigger than the average.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- You like bigger than the average! - I do...!
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Well, if that's a good thing.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14- I think it is.- And your little wheelbarrow I think is super cute.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18I'll have to have to find a super cute mini-gardener for it, aren't I?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Yes!
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Well, I don't know about you, but I could eat another ice cream.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23- So could I.- Could you?
0:20:23 > 0:20:24Yeah, they're on me this time.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Heading home with their antiques fair fancies,
0:20:31 > 0:20:35our rival English roses face the challenge of hunting down buyers
0:20:35 > 0:20:37and selling on their gathered goodies,
0:20:37 > 0:20:42making as much profit as they can for the charities of their choice.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44Back at The Hawk's nest in East Yorkshire,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48Caroline's collectables have a distinctly continental flavour.
0:20:49 > 0:20:53So, I've been to an English antique fair, and what do I do?
0:20:53 > 0:20:55Buy French items.
0:20:55 > 0:21:00French bicycle, gorgeous seat, panniers, and do you know?
0:21:00 > 0:21:04Some people collect just saddles or panniers.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08But I've been in touch with quite a few bike cafe restaurant shops,
0:21:08 > 0:21:12and I think this will be great as a display item.
0:21:12 > 0:21:18The wheel, again French, and I do have a plan for that.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21And you will be hard-pressed to guess what that plan is,
0:21:21 > 0:21:25but it will look stunning in its new location.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29My favourite item is the cast-iron stick stand.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33Sadly, it's had a little bit of damage in transit,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35so I'm going to look into having that repaired.
0:21:35 > 0:21:36And the wings?
0:21:36 > 0:21:39Well, I have just the person for these.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43I hope she will be thrilled to get them.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46So, I think I've done rather well at my English antique market,
0:21:46 > 0:21:48even though I bought mainly French items.
0:21:49 > 0:21:54Caroline also needs to find a buyer for her 1920s French wheelbarrow.
0:21:55 > 0:21:56Back in Herefordshire,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Miss Bliss can't even get her enormous spoils through the door.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04My favourite has to be my apple ladder.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08Now, this is so reminiscent of childhood days in Herefordshire
0:22:08 > 0:22:10fruit picking, and I think, actually, to sell this,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14it would be great to take it back to an orchard.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Now, the wine rack I'm a little bit nervous about, if I'm honest with you,
0:22:17 > 0:22:19because it's quite an investment.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23And although there may be plenty of apple orchards in Herefordshire,
0:22:23 > 0:22:25Champagne vineyards?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Slightly trickier. So, I might have my work cut out with this one.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34The bedside cabinet is lovely, but because it's got that marble top,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38it might look just as good in a shop as beside a nice bed.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Which leads me to my table and benches.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43It's got a bit of an industrial look,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46a little bit out of my comfort zone,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50but I think there's got to be an eating house involved where I sell these,
0:22:50 > 0:22:53and, hopefully, a good slice of profit to go with them.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57Well, I've certainly got some big lumps to load up.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00I think I might have to put the roof down on the wagon.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02And if she can squeeze it in,
0:23:02 > 0:23:07Kate also has to find a buyer for her Edwardian butler's table.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10But now, our savvy sellers must employ their expert knowledge,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13charge up their mobiles and laptops,
0:23:13 > 0:23:16and travel the length and breadth of the land to track down buyers
0:23:16 > 0:23:17for their booty.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19They will sell at the best price they can,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22with all the profits going to their chosen charities.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25But remember, until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands,
0:23:25 > 0:23:27no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33First to step up to the selling challenge is Kate.
0:23:33 > 0:23:37She hopes she has found the dream location for her bedside cabinet.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39But there is not a bed to be seen.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Well, what an idyllic rural scene.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I've come just down the road from home to my local farm shop.
0:23:47 > 0:23:52I think my French bedside cabinet could be put to a different purpose,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56and I'm really hoping that Nick, who runs the shop, will agree with me.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Remember, it owes her £50.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Hi, Nick. Morning! Great to see you.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06So, here it is.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08I hope you're going to pick that up, Kate!
0:24:08 > 0:24:11It probably dates from around 1900, I would think,
0:24:11 > 0:24:12it's got some age to it.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15It's painted in typically French style.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17There probably would have been a pair to it,
0:24:17 > 0:24:21and they would have stood either side of a lovely carved French bed.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25But I think it might be a good display piece for the shop.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27It would be. We would use it for tasting.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Herefordshire does have some amazing local producers,
0:24:29 > 0:24:31and we'd use it to promote those.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33OK, well, that sounds fantastic.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Sounds like you can put it to use,
0:24:35 > 0:24:38so I was hoping for around the sort of 260-ish.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40How does that sound to you?
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Um... You couldn't stretch to 200, could you?
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Um... If I came back to 250?
0:24:46 > 0:24:48We'll go for 240 if that would be OK for you.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51240? That's sort of in the middle, isn't it?
0:24:51 > 0:24:53- It is, isn't it, yes. - That does mean it. That's great.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55- Thank you very much.- Thank you very much, Kate.- Lovely.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57Mon dieu!
0:24:57 > 0:25:01Kate's dinky little bedside cabinet gives up a whopping first profit
0:25:01 > 0:25:05of £190, and finds a new home down on the farm.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07Well, for all I know,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10that bedside cabinet was straight out of a Parisian apartment,
0:25:10 > 0:25:15and here it is in a Herefordshire farm shop displaying salad dressing.
0:25:15 > 0:25:16Well, that's a great story for me.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19And more importantly, a great profit.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Caroline? How are you doing?
0:25:23 > 0:25:26Well, The Hawk is not one to take things lying down,
0:25:26 > 0:25:30and she has got big ideas for one of her French wares.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Well, then, here I am to see Christian,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38a friend of mine who has got this exciting new project on,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41which is an adventure playground.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Christian has no idea what I have brought in.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48But I've brought him the cartwheel to hang lighting from.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I just think it's going to be superb.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53I hope he does, too.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55The cartwheel owes her £70.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00- Hi, Christian.- Hi, Caroline.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- Nice to see you.- Great to see you.
0:26:02 > 0:26:03This is amazing.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Are you keeping all the beams?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07We are retaining as much timber as possible,
0:26:07 > 0:26:11and the whole site, with the play equipment and everything else,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13is all bespoke and natural materials.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- Right, so I bet you're dying to see what I've brought you.- I am.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19I'll go and get it. See you soon.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Your childhood skills! That's really very appropriate.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25- Wheeling a wheel.- Do you like it? - Wow, look at that.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27It's early 19th century,
0:26:27 > 0:26:33and I thought it would be wonderful suspended from the beams with lights.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Well, it could either be on the wall as a feature or, as you say,
0:26:37 > 0:26:38we could make a chandelier out of it.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40Yes, exactly!
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I thought between...
0:26:43 > 0:26:46180 and 220?
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I would have been happier nearer the 100 mark, really.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53Ooh! What about 170?
0:26:53 > 0:26:54130?
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Ooh! Ooh!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59140, and it's a deal.
0:26:59 > 0:27:01- OK, Caroline. You've got a deal. - Oh, brilliant.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05Caroline rounds off her first deal with a healthy profit of £70,
0:27:05 > 0:27:10and if she's not doing cartwheels, well, she seems pretty happy.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Well, I think my wheel has found its perfect home here.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15And Miss Bliss,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19you're going to have to watch this space because I am the top
0:27:19 > 0:27:20wheeler dealer.
0:27:21 > 0:27:22At one deal all,
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Kate is also grappling with one of her big woody purchases.
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Still in the Herefordshire countryside,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35she has brought her 1930s apple ladder that cost £12 to
0:27:35 > 0:27:38show cider company boss Bean.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- Hi there, you must be Bean. - Hi, Kate, nice to meet you.
0:27:41 > 0:27:44- Great to meet you.- Fantastic, and you've brought a ladder with you.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46This is my apple ladder. What do you think of it?
0:27:46 > 0:27:48I think it looks lovely and old. Shall we go to the orchard?
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Yeah, why don't we do that?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- All right, let's go.- Great, I'll follow you.- All right.
0:27:56 > 0:27:57Well, this is beautiful.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Now, you're moving premises, aren't you, from here in Herefordshire?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02We are, yeah. We want to grow the business.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06So, we've decided to move to Cheddar and we've bought a site there.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07We're going to have quite a big shop there,
0:28:07 > 0:28:09and we want it to have a lovely rustic feel,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12so we're trying to find certain things like this.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14We're trying to find some old wooden presses,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17so that when people come in it's not just a shop,
0:28:17 > 0:28:19there's a feel about it and we can bring a bit of Herefordshire
0:28:19 > 0:28:21from here to there.
0:28:21 > 0:28:22BOTH: So...
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- We had better talk money.- Great.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29Well, I mean, I was hoping for around sort of 160-ish.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31- How does that sound...- Were you? - ..for a rustic ladder?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33OK, I was thinking maybe not quite so much.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37- OK.- I would say around 100.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Mm-hm. Could I squeeze you for, say, 120?
0:28:41 > 0:28:42Just go that little bit more?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- Go on, then.- Would that be all right?- Yes, 120.- Wonderful.
0:28:46 > 0:28:47And with her second sale,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Kate bottles a tasty profit of £108,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53and climbs one deal ahead of Caroline.
0:28:54 > 0:28:55And staying in Herefordshire,
0:28:55 > 0:28:59she sells her Edwardian butler's table to inn owner Mark.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02- Is 180 OK?- 180 is fair. - Lovely, thank you very much.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Thank you very much.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07Serving up another bumper profit of £140.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12Meanwhile, Caroline has arranged to meet Maria,
0:29:12 > 0:29:16founder of a Derbyshire charity which arranges caravan holidays
0:29:16 > 0:29:20for families affected by life-limiting conditions.
0:29:20 > 0:29:22Hello. Hi, Maria!
0:29:22 > 0:29:27And she has a very special reason for bringing her 1930s angel wings.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31So, just tell me a little bit about the charity work that you do.
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Well, I set it up ten years ago and there's two caravans
0:29:35 > 0:29:39in Mapplethorpe, one for families facing very short futures,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42so, for a lot of families, their last holiday.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46Then there's the second caravan which is for seriously injured military.
0:29:46 > 0:29:49- You have volunteers helping you. - Yes.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- Now, a little bird told me that these volunteers, they're called angels.- Yes.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57- We've only got a very small group, probably a dozen.- Mm.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59So, when events are on, they're there,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- you know, sleeves rolled up. - Your angels are there.- That's right.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Brilliant - well, this might be a good point
0:30:04 > 0:30:07for me to leave you for one second, Maria.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10Ooh, this is exciting - I hope she's going to like them.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Yes, because the wings owe her £50.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17- SHE GASPS - Oh, wow!
0:30:17 > 0:30:20A real pair of angel's wings!
0:30:20 > 0:30:23- Oh, they're lovely! - And they're swan's-down.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Oh, how beautiful!
0:30:27 > 0:30:31I think they will be on display, a feature at the charity ball.
0:30:31 > 0:30:32Now, price.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36I was looking for about 150.
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Were you? What if I was to say £100?
0:30:40 > 0:30:41110?
0:30:43 > 0:30:47What if I met you halfway with 105?
0:30:47 > 0:30:48- I think that's a deal.- Do you?
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Yes, I do.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- Brilliant!- Thank you very much.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56Our Angel of the North flies off with a profit of £55,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58and that brings us to the halfway mark,
0:30:58 > 0:31:00so let's tot up the totals so far.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07Kate has made three sales and has a profit of £438.
0:31:07 > 0:31:12Caroline is trailing with two sales and a profit of £125.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16So, Kate is out in front, and she aims to stay in pole position.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Her mid-century Champagne riddle rack
0:31:18 > 0:31:21has been delivered to a winery near Tamworth.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24At £190, it was Kate's priciest buy -
0:31:24 > 0:31:27but will proprietor Yvonne like it?
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Hello, Yvonne. - Hello, nice to meet you.
0:31:30 > 0:31:31Yeah, and you. How do you do?
0:31:31 > 0:31:34I see my wine rack's arrived in the winery there.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37It has. I've been putting bottles in it just to see what it looks like.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Yes! So, what's your speciality?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41Because, of course, my wine rack
0:31:41 > 0:31:43is straight out of a Champagne producer..
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- Yeah.- ..in France - and you've got to be very careful
0:31:45 > 0:31:48- how you use that word, Champagne, haven't you?- You have, yes -
0:31:48 > 0:31:50you're not allowed to use it in England.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51We are producing sparkling wine,
0:31:51 > 0:31:55which I have some of our own here which hasn't got that far,
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- it's been settling - but it's all the same process, really.- Yeah.
0:31:58 > 0:32:00They just have to keep turning it
0:32:00 > 0:32:04until all the sediment has gone into the bottom.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07And then what happens when all the sediment has gone into the neck?
0:32:07 > 0:32:08- We freeze this.- Mm.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11The pressure makes the cork come out, the sediment comes out,
0:32:11 > 0:32:13and then we re-bottle it.
0:32:13 > 0:32:14So, what do you think of it?
0:32:14 > 0:32:16You could see the age in it,
0:32:16 > 0:32:19and I think it'll look really cool in our deli cafe,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22- so that people can actually be able to talk about it...- Yes.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- ..and find out what it's for, really.- Yeah.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26So, what about price, then?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28I mean, how does 380 sound?
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Unfortunately, I don't think we can go to that much.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33- Mm-hm.- I could probably go to about 280.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Could I push you just a wee bit?
0:32:35 > 0:32:38Maybe, I might get you £10 on that.
0:32:38 > 0:32:39- So, 290?- Yeah.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41- Maybe.- Yeah? That sounds great -
0:32:41 > 0:32:44I tell you what, I'll give you a hand in the winery.
0:32:44 > 0:32:45- That sounds good. - If you can stretch to 290.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I might even give you a glass of sparkling.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50Ooh! That sounds even better!
0:32:50 > 0:32:52So, Kate makes a sweet profit of £100
0:32:52 > 0:32:55and fills up her coffer as well as the rack.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59- Lovely.- Don't drop any. - OK, I'll do my best.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09- Well done.- Fantastic! Brilliant. - Looks brilliant.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13Kate is 4-2 up, but iron-willed Caroline is not to be beaten.
0:33:13 > 0:33:19She's in London with her Victorian stick stand that owes her £130.
0:33:19 > 0:33:20As it was damaged in transit,
0:33:20 > 0:33:24the Put Your Money games masters have covered the cost of the repair.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The Hawk has had it delivered to specialist Dominic
0:33:27 > 0:33:29who deals in, well, sticks.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32# Hit me with your rhythm stick... #
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- Hello, Dominic.- Hi, hello.- Hello! - Hi, nice to see you.- And you.- Yes.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39This is the stick stand I told you about.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Yes, indeed. Tell me more about it.
0:33:41 > 0:33:43Well, it's English.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- Yes.- It dates between 1843-1883,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49and I know that because it's got a registration lozenge on the back.
0:33:49 > 0:33:52- Yeah.- It's a little bit of sadness here, it was broken...
0:33:52 > 0:33:54- I spotted that, yes. - ..so, that's been repaired -
0:33:54 > 0:33:58- but it's been properly repaired by a cast-iron repairer.- Sure.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00We, as walking stick specialists,
0:34:00 > 0:34:04buy stands like this really to supply them to our collectors
0:34:04 > 0:34:07because they often don't know what to put the canes in.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09So what collectors look for with these
0:34:09 > 0:34:11is really how decorative they are,
0:34:11 > 0:34:13and what the motifs are,
0:34:13 > 0:34:16and that often relates to things they collect.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18So, you know, you will get ones with horses if they collect horses.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Or this one has got some pretty birds, or...
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Yeah.- Which is a great Victorian subject,
0:34:23 > 0:34:25lots of bird-related walking canes.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27The repair here is a little bit sad...
0:34:27 > 0:34:31- Yes.- ..but sometimes they're missing the base altogether -
0:34:31 > 0:34:33and, as you say, that's been done pretty well.
0:34:33 > 0:34:34So, I think it's desirable -
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- so, now it's the hard bit. - Excellent - now it's the hard bit!
0:34:37 > 0:34:38- Now it's the hard bit.- Dominic!
0:34:38 > 0:34:43Well, I was hoping to get about 220 for it.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- Yeah. You know, if it didn't have any faults...- Mm-hm.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48..that would be a fair price for it.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- Yeah.- Even though it's been repaired very well,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53it's sadly no longer perfect.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57I'd rather offer you something like 180 for this,
0:34:57 > 0:35:01- I think that's going to be... - Could you stretch to two?- Ooh.
0:35:01 > 0:35:02You are fierce.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04- I will split...- I'm a fierce Yorkshire lass, Dominic.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07Yes, you've come down here, and bashing us up.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I will split the difference with you, I'll give you 190 for it.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12I will accept your 190.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15- You spoil me. - Thank you very much.- OK.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18So, Caroline sticks it to the competition with that profit of £60,
0:35:18 > 0:35:22and gets a guided tour of Dominic's canes.
0:35:22 > 0:35:23This is a lovely one,
0:35:23 > 0:35:27made for a lady who might have just perhaps gone and ordered
0:35:27 > 0:35:31a taffeta dress in apricot, and she'd go and have a cane to match.
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Yes, in the guilloche enamel.
0:35:32 > 0:35:33- Exactly.- Ohh!- Yeah, silver -
0:35:33 > 0:35:36and then this does something a little bit more special,
0:35:36 > 0:35:37it opens up...
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- Oh, that is beautiful.- So...
0:35:39 > 0:35:42So she can powder her nose at the same time as spying behind her.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- I hadn't thought of that. - To see who's behind her.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46That's a lady's trick, isn't it? I had never thought of that,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49- you could see over your shoulder. - Yes, you can!- Well done, you.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52As I always, always say,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55a little bit of damage makes an awful lot of difference -
0:35:55 > 0:35:58but I've made a healthy profit, so, job done.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03Fortunately, there's no damage to her 20th-century wheelbarrow,
0:36:03 > 0:36:06and Caroline sells it to holiday cottage owner Louise
0:36:06 > 0:36:08in East Yorkshire.
0:36:08 > 0:36:10- 120?- Yeah.- Go on.
0:36:10 > 0:36:13- I'll go for that. - Brilliant, it's a deal!
0:36:13 > 0:36:16She wheels away her biggest profit so far -
0:36:16 > 0:36:19£80 - and Louise has a pretty addition to her garden.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22Another great sale from The Hawk.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Doesn't it look wonderful in that little courtyard garden?
0:36:25 > 0:36:26What do you think, Kate?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31Our antiques aficionados are now on four deals apiece,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34and Kate is looking to shift her final item.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Now, what's big, orange and German?
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Yes, it's her 1990s Bierkeller set.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42She's had it delivered to a pub in Kington,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44but she's sounding distinctly unconfident.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I'm just about to meet the owner, John,
0:36:47 > 0:36:49but I'm a little bit nervous,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51because I'm not quite sure it's going to fit
0:36:51 > 0:36:53with the current garden furniture -
0:36:53 > 0:36:58but it is my last sale, so let's hope it's a good one.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01Remember, it cost £95.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Hello there, John.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- Hi.- How do you do?- Hi, Kate, hi.
0:37:05 > 0:37:06It arrived safely, then, I see.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09It has, and...yeah, it's...
0:37:09 > 0:37:11- it's different, for sure. - Yeah!- Yeah.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13The size is actually quite good, isn't it?
0:37:13 > 0:37:15It's about two metres, I think.
0:37:15 > 0:37:17So you can get a lot of people round there.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19Well, our other benches, they're not going to take more than four -
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- and we do get groups of 10 or 12, and they'd love it round here.- Yeah?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26It's straight out of a German beer house -
0:37:26 > 0:37:28and you can see it's got the German writing here, so...
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- That's original?- It's original. - You haven't just written that on?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- No, absolutely not.- Fantastic.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36So it's got folding legs, though, which...
0:37:36 > 0:37:38- they are really useful because... - That's good.
0:37:38 > 0:37:41- You want to be able to pack it away. - Exactly.- I like it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- Can I...?- Yeah, try it out.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- You can imagine... Ooh! - Whoa!- Oh, hello!
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- I'll sit at the other end. - Now, we've got to remember that,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50we've got to have at least two of us on here, otherwise...
0:37:50 > 0:37:52- There we go, that's better. - ..we have a slide, as well!
0:37:52 > 0:37:54Yeah!
0:37:54 > 0:37:56I mean, have you ever had beer festivals at the hotel?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Might that be something?
0:37:58 > 0:37:59We used to have beer theme nights.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01Well, maybe you could bring it back, then?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04Yeah, I'm sure the locals would be up for it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08Well, I'm hoping for about sort of 320, how does that sound to you?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Wow. I was hoping we could go more like sort of 150 to start with.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- Were you?- Yes.
0:38:13 > 0:38:15I've got a reputation to keep here
0:38:15 > 0:38:18because they know that I'm a mean landlord, you see.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23- Are you?- Yeah.- Well, if I came just under the three and said 290,
0:38:23 > 0:38:25how does that sound?
0:38:25 > 0:38:26Somewhere near 250?
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Tell you what, 270?
0:38:30 > 0:38:32All right, OK, 270.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34- Yeah, that sound all right? - Yeah.- Fantastic.
0:38:34 > 0:38:35- Thank you, John.- OK.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Kate's seesaw-cum-bench and table set
0:38:39 > 0:38:42brews up a fabulous final profit of £175,
0:38:42 > 0:38:45and Kate says auf wiedersehen to her last item.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49Well, I'm really pleased.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52John's got himself a set of lovely practical garden furniture,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55which hopefully the locals will love -
0:38:55 > 0:38:57and as for me, well, I'm sitting pretty.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01# I'm gonna ride my bike until I get home... #
0:39:01 > 0:39:03Kate is out of the selling game now,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07so there is all to play for on Caroline's final deal.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11She's brought her 1960s bike that cost £50 to Martin,
0:39:11 > 0:39:15owner of a bike workshop and cycle-themed cafe in York.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Well, Martin, I think, without a shadow of a doubt,
0:39:18 > 0:39:22I've come to the right place here, looking around.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Yes, I think you have, looking at this.
0:39:24 > 0:39:25So, what do you think?
0:39:25 > 0:39:27It's beautiful, it really is beautiful.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29I mean, I've not seen one of these before,
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I've got to be honest.
0:39:31 > 0:39:33I don't really know an awful lot about the make,
0:39:33 > 0:39:36but you can clearly see that it's quality,
0:39:36 > 0:39:38and it's got some nostalgia to it.
0:39:38 > 0:39:43- Yeah, well, it came straight from a barn in France...- Right, wow.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47..and I've looked into it a bit - the seat is absolutely original,
0:39:47 > 0:39:49and another thing I love are the panniers.
0:39:49 > 0:39:52Yeah. They also, to me, look original.
0:39:52 > 0:39:53Yeah, I'm sure they are -
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- but look, yes, yes.- Yeah, also inside here,
0:39:56 > 0:39:57which is just even better...
0:39:57 > 0:40:01- Oh, wow, yeah?- ..this looks like the original puncture repair kit.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Obviously, it's had a few modern additions...- Yeah.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06..but the tooling that's inside it -
0:40:06 > 0:40:09I mean, you just don't see spanners like that any more.
0:40:10 > 0:40:12We're very much kind of, the nostalgic stuff.
0:40:12 > 0:40:14- You've got bike frames hanging up, haven't you?- Yeah,
0:40:14 > 0:40:17we've got a lot of old bike frames hanging around the place.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Once we give it a good clean and a good polish,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21it's just going to look amazing.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- I'm so pleased you like it! - Providing we can agree on a price!
0:40:24 > 0:40:30Right! Well, I was thinking, what about 190?
0:40:30 > 0:40:31I was looking for...
0:40:31 > 0:40:35So, has Caroline found the perfect buyer for her bike?
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Before we find out who is riding high and who's taken a tumble,
0:40:39 > 0:40:42let's remind ourselves how much our experts spent.
0:40:42 > 0:40:47They both started with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52Kate made five purchases costing her a total of £387.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56Caroline also made five buys, costing her £340 -
0:40:56 > 0:40:59but who has made the most profit?
0:40:59 > 0:41:02All the money that Caroline and Kate have made in today's challenge
0:41:02 > 0:41:05will go to charities of their choice, so let's find out
0:41:05 > 0:41:08who is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12- Hi, Kate.- Hey, how you doing?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Good!- Good to see you!- Well, that was an interesting fair, wasn't it?
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- Yeah, a little bit tricky in places, I thought.- Yeah.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19So, how did you get on with the selling?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21Well, do you remember those angel wings?
0:41:21 > 0:41:23You know, that's the one thing I really wanted to ask you about -
0:41:23 > 0:41:24who did you sell them to?
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Well, there was only one client that would have bought those.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- She just adored the wings.- Yeah? - She was absolutely thrilled -
0:41:31 > 0:41:32but if she didn't want them,
0:41:32 > 0:41:35I think I might have struggled to find someone.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- And then my little French barrow... - Yeah.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41..that went to a lovely lady to use in a sort of holiday cottage garden,
0:41:41 > 0:41:43and it looked really, really sweet.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45Well, I think, probably, in terms of profit -
0:41:45 > 0:41:47do you remember my Bierkeller set?
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Yes, yes, yes.
0:41:49 > 0:41:51They were a really good, successful sale -
0:41:51 > 0:41:54but I think my favourite sale was my rustic ladder,
0:41:54 > 0:41:56which, for me, just was meant for an orchard -
0:41:56 > 0:42:01and that's exactly where I sold it, to some cider makers.
0:42:01 > 0:42:02So, shall we face the music?
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Yeah, we'll see how it all turned out, then, shall we?
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Yeah. Are you ready?
0:42:06 > 0:42:08- Yeah.- One...- Two...- Three...
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Go!
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Ooh!- Ooh!- Look at that!- Kate!
0:42:12 > 0:42:13Well done, you!
0:42:13 > 0:42:15That's better than I thought, actually.
0:42:15 > 0:42:16I didn't think I'd made that much.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- Excellent. - All items actually went well,
0:42:19 > 0:42:20so it's a sort of combined effort.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Brilliant - well, you've done very, very well indeed, Kate.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26So have you. Well, I tell you what, those angel's wings, you know,
0:42:26 > 0:42:30when I saw them, I was so jealous - I thought they were fantastic!
0:42:30 > 0:42:33So, despite a great final deal by Caroline...
0:42:33 > 0:42:34170?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Done.- Brilliant!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40..which netted her a stonking profit of £120,
0:42:40 > 0:42:42it wasn't enough to beat Kate,
0:42:42 > 0:42:46whose bedside cabinet and Bierkeller set pushed her profits right up...
0:42:47 > 0:42:49Well, I knew I had done consistently OK,
0:42:49 > 0:42:54but when that briefcase opened and I saw over £700, wow!
0:42:54 > 0:42:56I am super chuffed.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00Kate did absolutely brilliantly profit-wise,
0:43:00 > 0:43:02but I think I had the most fun.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05I liked buying every single one of my items,
0:43:05 > 0:43:06and I enjoyed selling them.
0:43:06 > 0:43:10..but Caroline will get one last chance to fight back tomorrow,
0:43:10 > 0:43:13when she and Kate gear up for the battle of all battles -
0:43:13 > 0:43:15the showdown!
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Oh, no! That was quick!
