0:00:05 > 0:00:06best-loved antiques experts
0:00:06 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profits.
0:00:10 > 0:00:11I think I see a bargain.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Each day, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:15 > 0:00:16will face a mighty challenge.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18Oh, yeah.
0:00:18 > 0:00:19Putting their reputations
0:00:19 > 0:00:20on the line...
0:00:20 > 0:00:21Ready for battle.
0:00:21 > 0:00:22..they'll give you
0:00:22 > 0:00:24the insider's view of the trade...
0:00:24 > 0:00:27I'm a big boy. I'm a player.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28..along with their top tips
0:00:28 > 0:00:29and savvy secrets...
0:00:29 > 0:00:32It's not all about what you spend, it's about what you make.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35..showing you how to make the most money...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38- It really is war.- ..from buying and selling.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40You've got to be in there like a whippet.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Coming up... Jonty makes the find of a lifetime.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49This is what I've searched the world for high and low -
0:00:49 > 0:00:52an etching by Salvador Dali.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53Danny goes all French...
0:00:53 > 0:00:58C'est bon. C'est bon. Monsieur, c'est bon.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02..and one of our dealers decides, if you don't ask, you don't get.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04The price tag for this is £1,200.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06I think it's worth every single penny.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Bonjour, spectateurs.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Please listen very carefully.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32I will say this only once.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35In the beautiful town of Annecy in South Eastern France,
0:01:35 > 0:01:40two mysterious antiques agents are undercover and over eager.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42They've prepped hard for this assignment,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45and now they're ready to spy the rarest valuables,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48each prepared to do absolutely anything
0:01:48 > 0:01:50to prevent the other from pulling off
0:01:50 > 0:01:51a winning heist.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55First up, it's an international man of mystery,
0:01:55 > 0:01:58trained to the rim of his government-issue glasses.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01This inside man is full of antiques intel and isn't afraid to use it.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05He won't stop till he's in 00 profit heaven.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06It's...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10I'm going to get in there as quickly as I can
0:02:10 > 0:02:13to get as many bargains as I can - right now.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16His adversary is a master of disguise.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18This covert chameleon has so many identities
0:02:18 > 0:02:21that even he doesn't know who he is any more.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23He's incognito, and in with a good chance
0:02:23 > 0:02:26of making this money-making mission possible.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28It's...
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Keep your eye on me. I'm going to do well today.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You watch and see.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Their challenge is to bag the best French fancies,
0:02:38 > 0:02:40sell them on back in Blighty
0:02:40 > 0:02:43and rake in the profits for charity.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45This message is about to self-destruct.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Let's hope our dealers don't.
0:02:47 > 0:02:49Bonjour, young man.
0:02:49 > 0:02:50- How are you?- Very good.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52What a place, hey!
0:02:52 > 0:02:53- Yeah, it's nice.- Mountains, the lake.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56- Have you been to Annecy before? - Never in my life.
0:02:56 > 0:02:57I was here a long time ago.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01But I seem to remember the market was quite an expensive market.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03There's lots of tourists here, so beware.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Beware!- I tell you what.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08- I speak French. I speak a bit of French. So...- Do you?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10My parents are from the Caribbean, which was a French colony,
0:03:10 > 0:03:12so, I might have an advantage on you.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Hey, I'm worried already.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16You better had be an' all, you better had be.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Enjoy. Spend your money wisely.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20- Au revoir.- Yes.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23Au revoir. Del Boy showing off his French there.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26So, both our dealers head into the market
0:03:26 > 0:03:30to see what they can spend their £750-worth of euros on.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32- Bonjour.- Now Jonty's out of ear shot,
0:03:32 > 0:03:35what is Danny's top secret plan of action?
0:03:35 > 0:03:39My strategy today is to charm them, make them laugh,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43really get in amongst them and get myself some bargains.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45So, Danny is aiming to blend in with the locals
0:03:45 > 0:03:47and win them over with charisma.
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Eh? Very sneaky.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53But, is Agent Jonty on to him already?
0:03:53 > 0:03:55I'm convinced Danny is going to be
0:03:55 > 0:03:57trying his sales patter on the French.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Will they understand him?
0:03:59 > 0:04:01Will they get any sense out of him whatsoever?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03I'm not so sure.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07While he's gas-bagging, I'm going to be concentrating on my purchases.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Yes, you've got to get up earlier than that to outsmart The Hitman.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16In fact, he's already fawning over his first, potential purchase.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Now this is really attractive.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20This is what I like to find in French markets -
0:04:20 > 0:04:22something that's a little bit unusual.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24This is an Art Deco figure.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26So it's made in the 1930s.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Back home, an object like this would be worth
0:04:28 > 0:04:31several hundreds of pounds to the right buyer.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Now there's a bit of damage down at the bottom here,
0:04:34 > 0:04:36but I think it's still worth a punt.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37TRANSLATION:
0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's 60 euros.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Jonty secures a 20-euro discount for the damage,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00spending £34.48 on his first item.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04This is my Art Deco fawn, which I bought.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06And you can tell it's Art Deco
0:05:06 > 0:05:10because the plinth it's standing on is very simple indeed.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Around that period of before the war, just post the war,
0:05:13 > 0:05:16they produced lovely models like this here in France.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Is this a little DEAR?
0:05:18 > 0:05:19I don't think so.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23So, the jokes don't get any better in France, then.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26Elsewhere, on the cobbled streets of Annecy,
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Danny spotted an iron pestle and mortar
0:05:28 > 0:05:31and thinks he could crush the competition with it.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33You wouldn't have that in your kitchen, would you?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36But I like it. It's quite quirky.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38It's a nice, big, decorative lump.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40I'm going to find out what sort of money I could buy it for.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44Yes. Just how much can a rusty old pestle and mortar be?
0:05:44 > 0:05:45How many?
0:05:45 > 0:05:472,000! Ow!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50- 200?!- Yes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52200!
0:05:52 > 0:05:53You said 2,000.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54I don't speak English.
0:05:54 > 0:05:56No. You're speaking it now.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57So...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01What's your best?
0:06:01 > 0:06:03180 euros.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05I've got to try and get a bit more off it than that.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Mademoiselle...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09140.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I'll tell you what. I'm going to go straight in at 160
0:06:12 > 0:06:13and tell them that's it.
0:06:16 > 0:06:17Oui?
0:06:19 > 0:06:23Oui, monsieur? Ah! C'est bon, c'est bon.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24Yes.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25We come to an agreement.
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Cushty.- Mangetout, Del Boy.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Danny leaps the language barrier,
0:06:32 > 0:06:34and the rather rusty kitchen crusher
0:06:34 > 0:06:37is his for just under £138.
0:06:39 > 0:06:41Got to be a Victorian piece this.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Absolutely fabulous - I've never seen one this big.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46It's rusty and all sorts inside.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48But one thing's for sure,
0:06:48 > 0:06:52you're not going to be ponging any nutmegs or anything in there
0:06:52 > 0:06:53that you're going to use in a dish.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's really for decorative purposes.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59There's something about it that I think everyone's going to love.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yes, it's a must for RUST-IC food lovers.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Our spies are level-pegging on one buy each,
0:07:05 > 0:07:07but Danny's not done yet.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10He's got another domestic item under surveillance.
0:07:10 > 0:07:131950s, Formica sewing table.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Very nice. Beautiful legs.
0:07:15 > 0:07:16The colour's not the greatest.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19For retro you want vibrant, you want funky.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Had it been yellow, orange, blue, red...
0:07:22 > 0:07:24Woo! I'd have been on fire.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27This one's a bit of a grey, mucky green.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30But the legs are nice.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33So, will Danny use his French to get a good deal?
0:07:33 > 0:07:35How much?
0:07:37 > 0:07:38Er, papier?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42No, we're back to writing numbers again.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Straight away he's put on it 90 euros.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46I don't like the sound of it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49Danny tries an offer of 40 euros.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51I'm starting right low on this one.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55The antiques assassin strikes again.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Oh! Hang on. He's OK.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58TRANSLATION:
0:08:01 > 0:08:04He's put in 75 and he's said dernier prix.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I think that means that's the end of it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09It's not the end of it. I want that piece and he's got to come down.
0:08:09 > 0:08:10Oui. Dernier.
0:08:15 > 0:08:16- All right.- Oh!
0:08:16 > 0:08:19THEY LAUGH
0:08:19 > 0:08:2060 euros.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21That'll do me.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Danny finally seals the deal for just under £52
0:08:24 > 0:08:28and is so happy he bursts into song.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32# Oh, monsieur, monsieur, c'est bon
0:08:32 > 0:08:36# C'est bon, c'est bon, monsieur, c'est bon. #
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yeah, that's enough now, thank you.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42I've got myself a beautiful, continental, 1950s sewing box.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44Formica-topped.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Always check there's no cracks or chips or anything,
0:08:47 > 0:08:50because that devalues it quite considerably.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53But this is absolutely beautiful.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Open it up. Double doors.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58It's full of gear in here.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Bobbins. Vintage threads.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Bits of cloth. I'll tell you what, I've got myself a right steal here.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05In fact, it's not a steal, it's not a deal.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07This is the sale of the century.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Jonty, the big Hitman, I've got this one sewn up.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16Indeed. With Jonty trailing behind on one buy to Danny's two,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18his cool eye has settled on something
0:09:18 > 0:09:21he hopes will put his competitor on ice.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24This is a beautiful, silver-plated-topped ice bucket.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26We've got a crystal base,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27you need to check that everything here
0:09:27 > 0:09:29on the underside is in good condition.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31No scratches, no marks, no chips.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34That's really important because it's completely unrestorable
0:09:34 > 0:09:36most of the time.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39You've got this lovely, silver-plated top to it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Date-wise, 1950s, 1960s.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45There's a little price tag on it, which does help me.
0:09:45 > 0:09:4755 euros.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49We're in the right ballpark already.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Let's see what I can get it for.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Brilliant. OK. Merci, madame.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Jonty gets a speedy 15-euro discount,
0:09:59 > 0:10:02capturing the ice bucket for just over £34,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05leaving The Hitman shaken and stirred.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Look at the quality in an object like this!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Wow! I just think it's going to look so cool back home.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14With our dealers now neck and neck on two buys a piece,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18Danny knows he'll have to go deep undercover to unearth the gems.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22And with that in mind, he decides to go full French.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Bonjour, bonjour, bonjour. C'est bon, c'est bon,
0:10:25 > 0:10:26c'est bon, c'est bon.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29C'est bon, bon.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That should do it. With his real identity safe for now,
0:10:33 > 0:10:36he's spotted something he could store
0:10:36 > 0:10:38his classified documents in, and swoops.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42I mean, what would this really have been used for?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43It's got to be some sort of filing.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45It's probably the '60s. It's plywood.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48So, it's not that old but it looks well.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51TRANSLATION:
0:11:04 > 0:11:07Time for Danny to get his trusty pen and paper out.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- 135.- No.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12140?
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- 140, OK.- 140, OK. Give me your hand.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20We've got a deal.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Danny files away his third purchase for £120.69
0:11:24 > 0:11:25and he's all fired up.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Jonty, you'd better be buying good because I'm buying brilliant.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34You ain't going to stand a chance against me today, boy.
0:11:34 > 0:11:35By Jove.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37That takes us to the halfway mark.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Time to find out who's cracked the code and who's being reassigned.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47With a £750 budget, Jonty's spent carefully so far,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51investing £68.96 on two items,
0:11:51 > 0:11:55leaving a healthy £681.04 in his kitty.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Danny's bought more and splashed more cash.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01£310.34 on three items,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05leaving a healthy £439.66 for the rest of the day.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Aye-up, Jonty, I've caught you on the move.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Are you buying it?- It'll remind me of you, a bit of a joker.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15Hey! Just be careful what you're saying here now.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- How are you getting on?- Good.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- Really?- Yeah, very good.- That's surprising.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22I'll tell you what... I've got it all that you said this morning.
0:12:22 > 0:12:23It's really dear here.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25There's no bargains.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26There's plenty of bargains here, Jonty.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28There's plenty of bargains here.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29What I find quite interesting,
0:12:29 > 0:12:31The dealers are quite happy to do a bit of a deal.
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- How many pieces have you got?- I've got a few.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- I'm doing all right.- Do you want to know how many I've got?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37I'm not really that bothered. Go on, tell me.
0:12:37 > 0:12:38I'm not going to.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40HE LAUGHS
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- I'll see you later.- I'll see you later.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48Our clandestine customers are keeping things on the QT,
0:12:48 > 0:12:50but has Danny ruffled Jonty's feathers
0:12:50 > 0:12:53more than he was letting on?
0:12:53 > 0:12:54I've just seen Danny.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57He's doing all right. He's buying a few things.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm worried, because I thought he was going to be a fish out of water.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I'd better get cracking.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I've not even covered this market and I've bought some nice bits.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09You know what? Ding, ding.
0:13:09 > 0:13:10Danny's round.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14So, confident, Danny plunges headfirst back into the market.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And his radar soon uncovers a mysterious book.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19Look!
0:13:19 > 0:13:22- First edition.- 300 euros.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24Is it?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27That's piqued his interest, but it seems to be written in some sort
0:13:27 > 0:13:28of unbreakable code.
0:13:28 > 0:13:29What is it?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Latin.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34No need for the portable enigma.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's just Latin.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38I've got a book they're sort of saying is a book of law.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40It's about 300 years old.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It's not my field whatsoever.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46In this game, you've got to take chances, you've got to take a punt.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50If it's the right money, it's exactly what I'll be doing.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- How much money?- Seven?
0:13:52 > 0:13:55Seven what? Seven, oh, hold on.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- Seven euros?- Nice try.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Seven zero.- 70. 70.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- What's your price?- 25.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09Danny's bids are lethal today, and he's not backing down.
0:14:09 > 0:14:1025.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Yeah. Yeah.
0:14:17 > 0:14:18He's told me 30.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19I'll have a go at that.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Danny and his dangerous charm offensive
0:14:22 > 0:14:25bagged the ancient book for £25.86,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28and he nudges even further ahead with four purchases
0:14:28 > 0:14:30to Jonty's two.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32This is a lovely, decorative piece.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35It's really getting my juices going
0:14:35 > 0:14:37to want to get a bit of research done on it,
0:14:37 > 0:14:39and find out what it really is.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41It might be something special.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44Jonty, I hope it is.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47Looks like the heat's got to Danny.
0:14:47 > 0:14:48All that's left is his hat.
0:14:49 > 0:14:53Yes, with Danny's disguises foxing even Agent Jonty,
0:14:53 > 0:14:55there really is no stopping him now.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Codename Del Boy has just found some early 20th-century industrial lights
0:14:59 > 0:15:01and he's lit up.
0:15:01 > 0:15:05When you talk about Decorative with a capital D,
0:15:05 > 0:15:07you're talking this pair of lights here.
0:15:07 > 0:15:08I spotted them, I love them.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09This...
0:15:11 > 0:15:12..is boombastic.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So, with the help of a friendly local translator,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Danny switches to haggle mode.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21What's the very best price you can give me?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- 180.- 150, we've got a deal.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I've got a right hard customer here.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31These are absolutely beautiful.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33I really like them. They don't look like a set of lights.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35I know, hanging down over a bar, or something like that,
0:15:35 > 0:15:38even in someone's house, in a kitchen...
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Magnificento!
0:15:40 > 0:15:41165.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44We've got a deal.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48The magnificento lights cost Danny just over £142,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51and fortune is shining down on our foreign agent today.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54He's made contact with the ultimate inside man
0:15:54 > 0:15:56and is about to extract all his intel.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Listen to this.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00Yves, it's an absolute pleasure to meet you.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02It is nice to meet you as well.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Once I bought it, you turned round
0:16:04 > 0:16:05and said you used to be in the company...
0:16:05 > 0:16:09- Talk to me.- You made a real great deal
0:16:09 > 0:16:13buying this lumiere because I recognise in this lumiere
0:16:13 > 0:16:16the glass refractor, it's not a reflector, it's a refractor,
0:16:16 > 0:16:19refracting the light instead of reflecting it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21In the past, public lighting was not made
0:16:21 > 0:16:24with bulbs, with electric bulbs.
0:16:24 > 0:16:25- It was made with...- Gas.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27- With gas.- Yes.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32And this is why it was in glass, to withstand the heat.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35This company made, for example, the refractor,
0:16:35 > 0:16:37the glass lenses for lighthouses.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38So, was it a good buy?
0:16:38 > 0:16:41I mean, I paid 165 euros for it.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45This lumiere is unique and it is worth much more than that.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47So you did a great deal.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50One, because you did not only buy a lumiere,
0:16:50 > 0:16:51you buy a piece of history.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- Yes.- So you did very well.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Congratulations.- That'll do me.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Thank you very much. Thank you.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Now, wasn't that a stroke of luck?
0:17:00 > 0:17:03And talking of luck, across the market,
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Jonty has just made an extraordinary discovery.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11This is a lithograph by the great surrealist artist,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14none other than Salvador Dali.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19This is a limited edition and we have the number here, 160 of 250.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21It's a great colour.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23And you can tell that this is original
0:17:23 > 0:17:27because you can see the impression in the plate.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28If I flip it over...
0:17:30 > 0:17:34..we see that we have a certificate on the back here,
0:17:34 > 0:17:36which gives it authenticity.
0:17:36 > 0:17:37What is your best price?
0:17:39 > 0:17:40380?
0:17:41 > 0:17:43If we do 360, I'll buy it.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47Non... Non.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49- 370.- No.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51No, it's impossible.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53OK. We'll buy at 380.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Jonty can't believe it.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00A signed Dali for just under £328.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01This...
0:18:01 > 0:18:04is what I search the world for, high and low -
0:18:04 > 0:18:06an etching by Salvador Dali.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09This is so fantastic.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12It really is very, very exciting.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17It's entitled Voices Of My Beloved, and it was made by Dali in 1972.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19He produced this on an etching board,
0:18:19 > 0:18:20it would have been hand-coloured,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23and then reproduced 250 times only,
0:18:23 > 0:18:26and then that etching board would have been destroyed.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29This is his pencil signature down here on the bottom
0:18:29 > 0:18:30right-hand corner.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32I paid, what, 380 euros for it.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37And believe you me, it's worth an awful lot more money than that.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Hitman can barely conceal his glee.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Unaware of Jonty's artistic triumph,
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Danny has decided his five French fancies are enough.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Well, I'm all bought up.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I wonder how Jonty is getting on.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I'm going to go and get myself something nice to eat.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Jonty, bon appetit.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58While Danny chows down, Jonty is still keen to splash the cash.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01And he's spied a deadly looking implement.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03Well, I just think that's a bit of fun.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06It's a baguette slicer.
0:19:07 > 0:19:08How French is that?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11We have a price tag of 65 euros.
0:19:11 > 0:19:14If it was slightly less, then I could be in for a purchase.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16TRANSLATION:
0:19:20 > 0:19:2240? 40.
0:19:27 > 0:19:28OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Tres bon. Jonty slices 20 euros off the asking price,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and shakes on £38.79.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Now, this is not strictly antique.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41It's second-hand.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43It's the kind of object that I know will sell back at home,
0:19:43 > 0:19:47possibly to a deli, to a restaurant.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50It's a flavour... A taste of France.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Jonty had better watch his fingers, and Danny had better watch his back
0:19:53 > 0:19:56because The Hitman is closing in on his lead.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59And he's spotted something he thinks will be perfect
0:19:59 > 0:20:01for the modern spy about town.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03This is so cool. Look at this.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05This is an adjustable hat stand.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07And look at the label on the top.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10Paris. Wow!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12So, it's sort of silver-plated, so it's brass.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15And the silver plate is wearing away.
0:20:15 > 0:20:16It has that lovely feel to it.
0:20:16 > 0:20:21Date-wise, I would suspect that it's probably 1920s.
0:20:21 > 0:20:22We've got an adjust...
0:20:22 > 0:20:25So, in your shop window, you put your best bonnet,
0:20:25 > 0:20:28your best bowler hat on top of that.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30TRANSLATION:
0:20:32 > 0:20:34- 70.- Would you take 50?
0:20:34 > 0:20:36No, it's not possible for me.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38- Yes. Yes, yes.- Sorry,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40it's not possible for me. Sorry, sorry.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- Not possible.- So we are saying 70.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46- OK.- OK.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Hard man.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50The seller wouldn't budge on price,
0:20:50 > 0:20:54and the hat stand is his for £60.34.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56And that's it.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57The French file is closed.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Our secretive scavengers have finished their furtive market frisk
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and it's time to tot up the totals.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08They both started the day with £750 worth of their own euros to spend.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12Jonty hopes he's created a covetable cash,
0:21:12 > 0:21:16with his five purchases, costing £495.68.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20But Danny is confident his hoard will win the day.
0:21:20 > 0:21:25Five sellables for £478.44.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Time for a bit of show and tell.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Hey.- Danny boy.
0:21:30 > 0:21:31Hey. What a day, eh?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33- Fantastic.- Best buy?
0:21:33 > 0:21:34I'm going to go with my lights.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36I absolutely love them.
0:21:36 > 0:21:37Very impressive.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The chap who was the CEO of the company
0:21:40 > 0:21:41that used to manufacture 'em,
0:21:41 > 0:21:44he was at the market, he's given me all the info.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45So he shone a light on it for you?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Ooh! I like it.
0:21:47 > 0:21:49- I like it.- I bought something for you.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51Something to hang your hat on.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Because that is lovely. - Very nice.- Very simple.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- Got Paris written all over it. - All over it. It's all over it.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Even on the underside, as well.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01You've got this needle and thread thing going on.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02The haberdashery look.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04You are a secret sewer, is that right?
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Yeah, well, I'm thinking about stitching you up.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09It's cool, it's funky.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It's a nice shape. But my piece of resistance...
0:22:12 > 0:22:16..is my lovely signed Dali etching.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18- Is it Dali?- Absolutely.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20That is Dali's signature there.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24When I bought my lot, I thought, I've got this game wrapped up.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26But now I'm getting worried.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29Well, you should be worried because that's worth a lot of money.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31Now, do you fancy a trip around the lake on a pedalo?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33Of course I do. Let's talk about your Dali.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43Battle weary and laden with booty, our duo head back to Blighty,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47but there's no time to put their feet up as they undertake the
0:22:47 > 0:22:50gargantuan challenge of selling all their French treasures.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52They must hunt down buyers, haggle hard,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55and maximise profits for their chosen charities.
0:22:57 > 0:23:02Back at his Oxfordshire hideout, Jonty is surveying his wares.
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Still looks good.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07I was so pleased with my purchases in the south of France.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10For every single object that I've got here, I'm very, very pleased with.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Starting off with the fawn...
0:23:12 > 0:23:15It's not bronze, it's spelter, which is a cheaper alloy.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18So I can't get too much for my little fawn, here.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21But I still think it's a very, very decorative object.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23The ice bucket, wow!
0:23:23 > 0:23:25I will always find a home for that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I love the fact it's silver-plated and we've got the crystal, there, as well.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31But my best, best object has to be my signed Dali piece.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34I was so excited when I stumbled across that.
0:23:34 > 0:23:39That's from a series entitled The Song Of Songs of Solomon,
0:23:39 > 0:23:45which is a set of 12 etchings, which demonstrates Dali's enthusiasm
0:23:45 > 0:23:48for religious scenes.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52It's on handmade paper and the very exciting thing, which I've discovered,
0:23:52 > 0:23:56is that the gold that glistens on the top, here,
0:23:56 > 0:23:59is literally gold dust applied to it.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02So not only have we got a signed Dali piece, here,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04we've also got gold as well.
0:24:04 > 0:24:06It really is beautiful.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13Jonty also needs to find buyers for his baguette cutter and hat stand.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17In Wellingborough, Del Boy seems confused about which country he's in.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Bonjour, Bonjour.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22What a beautiful day I had at Annecy.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25And I've got some fantastic bits, let me tell you.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27My favourite piece has got to be these public lights.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30I mean, they're great. They're really decorative.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Having a closer look, I don't think they've got a lot of age to them.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35But I'm not bothered about that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38I don't know where I'm going to sell them yet, but one thing's for sure,
0:24:38 > 0:24:42wherever I do sell them, I want strong money.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Equally my favourite piece is this bank of drawers.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47They're not really made that great.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51I like it when I can see some distinctive dovetail joints.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53But I'm not bothered about that.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57What I'm bothered about is that they are decorative on the front.
0:24:57 > 0:25:00On the face of these, they're absolutely cracking.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02I tell you what, nice big lump, that.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06It's a great decorative piece in a pharmaceutical company,
0:25:06 > 0:25:08or in a chemist.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12I just know that somebody is going to adore that piece as much as I do.
0:25:12 > 0:25:16All said and done, I had a fantastic day and I've got one thing to say
0:25:16 > 0:25:19to you, hit man, "Ferme la bouche!"
0:25:19 > 0:25:22That is what I'm going to do to you when I've sold all this gear and
0:25:22 > 0:25:23made a big profit.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26That means shut your mouth! Charming.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28As well as getting feisty in French,
0:25:28 > 0:25:34Danny also has to find buyers for his Latin book and '50s sewing box.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Having evaluated their treasures, it's time to turn them all into
0:25:37 > 0:25:39cold, hard cash.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Our brave profiteers waste no time getting straight on the road
0:25:41 > 0:25:45and remember, until the crucial handshake, no deal is truly sealed.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51First on the Hit Man's profit quest is the Oxfordshire town of
0:25:51 > 0:25:55Wallingford, where he hopes to find his French fawn a home with vintage
0:25:55 > 0:25:56storeowner, Sarah.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01So, this is my fawn, which I bought in the south of France.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Right.- It's made of spelter.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06And we've got this lovely marble base.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08The base dates it to 1930.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- Right. Yeah.- And the fawn is in just perfect condition.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15- Very sweet.- What do you think? Good impressions? Do you like it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17I like it a lot. I think at Christmas time,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19it might be quite nice to have in our displays.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Yes? So the price for my fawn...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Yeah.- ..is £80.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25A little bit high.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28You were going to say a little bit too dear, weren't you?
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- It's a little bit dear, yes. - It's not, it's a very nice dear!
0:26:32 > 0:26:33Would you take 60?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- Yes.- OK, thank you.
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Thank you very much indeed.
0:26:37 > 0:26:42The Hit Man doesn't mess around and pockets a speedy £25.52 profit.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47Danny is in Northampton, where his first nibble of interest has come
0:26:47 > 0:26:50from a fashion designer called Amanda.
0:26:50 > 0:26:52I've brought along this sewing box.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Now, this is an iconic 1950s design.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58- Is it?- Absolutely fantastic. Yes.
0:26:58 > 0:27:02It's Formica top, which is quite normal in the 1950s.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06It is something that anybody who's into retro would really find very appealing.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10But I think its home is here.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Is it?- I think so, yes. - It depends on how much.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15I would be really happy if you could cross my palm with £180.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18- That's too much.- It's just too much? It's too much.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21What sort of price are you talking about, then?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24I'm not going to pay more than £40.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26- Oh, no, Amanda. We're way out.- Why?
0:27:26 > 0:27:31I mean, I bought this in France and it cost me a lot more money than that.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I'll give you £60.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35No, we've got to go about it a bit more than that.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38I really like it but I can't go any more than that.
0:27:38 > 0:27:4070, that's it.
0:27:40 > 0:27:44- And... I'm sweating.- I'm also sweating. Can you see?
0:27:44 > 0:27:48I wasn't sweating... I'll give you 65. That's it.
0:27:48 > 0:27:52- 70 and we've got a deal. - No, no. 65.- 69.- No, 65.
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- 69.- 65.- 68.- 65.- 68.- 65.
0:27:56 > 0:28:01We'll go 66, job done. Lovely.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03Blimey. Danny met his match, there.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07And that's a somewhat bijou profit of just over £14.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11What a negotiator.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14And he doesn't have much more luck with his antique book,
0:28:14 > 0:28:17selling it to a dealer in Lancashire for £40,
0:28:17 > 0:28:20scraping himself just over £14 profit.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26At Hit Man HQ in Oxfordshire, it's the moment of truth,
0:28:26 > 0:28:29as Jonty's found a contact who's interested in Dali.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31He's invited him over for a viewing.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Ah, Perry.- Jonty. Hi.- How are you?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38With framing costs, the early '70s etching owes Jonty over £388,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42so the Hit Man needs to deliver a killer sales pitch.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44So, Perry, here it is.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46- Wow. Pretty good.- First impressions?
0:28:46 > 0:28:50Good. I like it. The thing like the gold at the top and the colours,
0:28:50 > 0:28:53you know, just enough colour to make it interesting, not overdone.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55I think it's pretty striking.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57And if you take a closer look at this gold,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00if you come and have a really good look, here, and you move around,
0:29:00 > 0:29:04you can actually see the gold dust and I've not seen that in Dali works before.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07So this was an etching that was produced by Dali called
0:29:07 > 0:29:09The Voice of My Beloved.
0:29:09 > 0:29:15And it's a very typical Dali because you've got this mass movement and
0:29:15 > 0:29:17everything, of course, was surreal.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20He was the surreal master of the 20th century.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25Here we see it's a limited edition of 250.
0:29:25 > 0:29:30And this is, of course, Dali's signature which is quite fantastic.
0:29:30 > 0:29:35So, I've had it framed, and on the reverse, as well, is the certificate
0:29:35 > 0:29:39that came with it from the gallery in France.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41I shouldn't say it's too good, should I?
0:29:41 > 0:29:42Because I know what's coming next.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45But, yeah, I think it's a really, really nice painting.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Really good.- The price tag for this is £1,200.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50I think it's worth every single penny.
0:29:50 > 0:29:52You know, I was thinking more,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56because I like round numbers, of £1,000.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59If we could squeeze it up a bit I'm happy to do a deal.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03- 1,100 is fine.- 1,050.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05I'm happy. 1,050 is lovely.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07Perry, it's all yours.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10And that, ladies and gents, is how you do it.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13A colossal profit of over £661.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17And even the Hit Man looks a trifle dazed.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22Wow. £1,050.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24Now that's what I call surreal.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Well, while Jonty regains his composure,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Danny is in south London hoping to make some proper cash
0:30:30 > 0:30:32with his third French fancy.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36He's brought his unusual drawers that owe him just under £121 to
0:30:36 > 0:30:39show vintage furniture shop owner, Julie.
0:30:39 > 0:30:41One thing I do notice you've got a lot in here,
0:30:41 > 0:30:42you've got a lot of drawers.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44We're the shop that sells tonnes of chests of drawers.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46We probably sell five chests of drawers a week.
0:30:46 > 0:30:48We need them all the time.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50Plenty of drawers but you ain't got a bank of drawers.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- I haven't got a bank of drawers.- No, you haven't.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56I've got two swivel chairs coming in and I thought once that sofa goes
0:30:56 > 0:30:58I'll put those in the window and this in the middle.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00- It'll look brilliant.- Oh, Julie.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02So, I've sort of got, I had...
0:31:02 > 0:31:04- You've got plans.- I've got plans for it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I've got to be honest, when you look at the corners,
0:31:06 > 0:31:08they're kind of butted together.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11I mean, you've been in the game a long time, you can see it for
0:31:11 > 0:31:12yourself, you know. If they was, you know,
0:31:12 > 0:31:15beautifully dovetailed and so forth then...
0:31:15 > 0:31:19The price would be much higher than I'm going to get them from you.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21- Need I say more.- So, yeah.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23But the front of it, it looks amazing.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25It looks good. People are going to like it.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28If it's in the window and they see it driving past they're going to go,
0:31:28 > 0:31:29"Yeah, we like that."
0:31:29 > 0:31:32So, Julie, all we've got to worry about now is the price.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33Give us £350.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35£350 is too high.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I think it's more like 200 quid.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40- How about 300? - No, 300's too high.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41300's still too much?
0:31:41 > 0:31:42It's still too much.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Two and three quarters, £275.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47- You're getting there.- Give us 260.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- I was going to go 200. - Give us 240.- 240, done.
0:31:51 > 0:31:52240, done. Lovely.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54Thank you very much. Lovely doing business with you.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59Julie fought her corner but Danny still walks away with over
0:31:59 > 0:32:01£119 profit and he's back in the game.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07So far Jonty has sold two of his five French treasures and banked a
0:32:07 > 0:32:10whopping £687.20 profit.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16Danny has done three deals but had a slow start with just under £148
0:32:16 > 0:32:18profit in his pocket.
0:32:21 > 0:32:26He may be sitting pretty but Hit Man Hearndon isn't kicking back and relaxing.
0:32:26 > 0:32:30Oh, no. He's on his way to the pub, for work, not for pleasure.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Look what I've got. I've got my baguette cutter.
0:32:33 > 0:32:37Now, I've brought it along to show Nicky who's the landlady of my
0:32:37 > 0:32:43local watering hole. So, hopefully, she might be interested in cutting a deal.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Those jokes just never get better, do they?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50Remember, this cost him nearly £39.
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Ah, Nicky, hard at work, I see.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- Of course.- Look what I've brought you.- Lovely. What is this?
0:32:58 > 0:33:03This, believe it or not, is a French bread cutter.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05- Look at that.- Oh, my goodness. That's quite scary.- So you put your
0:33:05 > 0:33:08baguette or roll or whatever it is there and away you go.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12And I thought the perfect person for this would be you and your chefs.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15- Yes.- More to the point. Have you seen anything like that before?
0:33:15 > 0:33:16- I haven't.- Have a look at this.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19The actual blade itself is in really good condition.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- How old is it, then? - Probably no more than 40 years old.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25So it's still in very much sort of working order.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28- Yeah.- But I just love the fact that, actually, if you have a look on the
0:33:28 > 0:33:31blade there itself, there's a label there which says made in France and
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I just think it's fantastic. It's a mere snip.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35A mere snip?
0:33:35 > 0:33:37- At £80.- It's quite a bit.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41I know it's quite a bit because it's a fine quality item we have here.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- 65?- I'd be more happy at 70.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47- Yeah, that would be lovely. - Fantastic, thank you very much.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48- OK.- Brilliant.- Thank you.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53Jonty nearly doubles his money adding just over £31 profit to
0:33:53 > 0:33:55- his pot.- I wonder how Danny's getting along
0:33:55 > 0:33:57because I just keep on making dough.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01Yes, thank you, Jonty.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04Danny is keeping busy on the mean streets of London and is on the
0:34:04 > 0:34:06trail of a buyer for his favourite item.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11I've got me lights delivered to the Trafalgar Hotel.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Cara, she is the arts manager.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18She looks after all the installations that's going on.
0:34:18 > 0:34:19She's looked at me lights.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23I'm just hoping they're going to be good enough to be housed there.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Come on, let's go and have a look.
0:34:26 > 0:34:30He's had them rewired and safety tested so the lights now owe him
0:34:30 > 0:34:33nearly £154.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Cara.- Hello, dear.- How are you? - I'm very well, thank you.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40I'm seeing a great look of glee on your face when you're looking at
0:34:40 > 0:34:42these lights. It looks like you're adoring them.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Well, they are very nice.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46- They're lovely pieces.- So, I bought them in France.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48You know, these are quite special.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51They're very decorative and they're very contemporary, they're very in,
0:34:51 > 0:34:53- they're in trend.- Absolutely, yeah. - They're in vogue.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55They've got this nice polished steel.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57You know, it's got a great long chain,
0:34:57 > 0:35:00which is quite nice, as well, when you sort of hang it from a high ceiling.
0:35:00 > 0:35:01Yeah, nice and versatile.
0:35:01 > 0:35:06They definitely would complement the style of the hotel, you know,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09and the contemporary feel of the hotel and that's something that's
0:35:09 > 0:35:10really important to us.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13- Shall we talk money? - Let's talk money.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17I'd like to achieve round about £650 for the set.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Right.- What are you thinking? - That's... That's...
0:35:20 > 0:35:23There's a look of fear on your face.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25Yeah, that is a lot more than what we would want to pay.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I mean, I do love how they look.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30So, what sort of price have you got in mind?
0:35:30 > 0:35:35We'd be looking more around the kind of £400 mark.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Can you push the boat out a little bit?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40For you, Danny?
0:35:40 > 0:35:45- For me.- I mean, I would say 425.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50- Can you say 475? - I can say 450.- 460?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- 450 would be wonderful. - 450.- And we'll shake.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56- If it's going to be wonderful, I'll have a deal at that.- Excellent.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01So, Danny walks away with a sparkling profit of over £296 on his lights.
0:36:03 > 0:36:07You're never going to get a problem selling if you buy right.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09I made a healthy profit so I'm happy.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Cara's happy. Everyone's a winner.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14Just hopefully not you, Jonty.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20Hm. Let's not mention Dali.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Jonty does still have two items left to find homes for, though.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26And he's got a meeting with Oxfordshire milliner, Louise.
0:36:27 > 0:36:32A milliner is somebody who makes hats, so I'm hoping I've got the
0:36:32 > 0:36:36- perfect object for them.- Yes, joining the dots there, Hit Man.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40But can he turn a profit on the £60 purchase price?
0:36:40 > 0:36:42- Louise, how are you?- Hi, I'm well thank you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- How are you?- Good to see you.- And you.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- Wow, look at this array of hats. - Yeah, amazing, isn't it?
0:36:47 > 0:36:50- So how many hats have you got, here? - Roughly about 1,200 altogether.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52Really? So over 1,000 hats?
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Yes.- How many hat stands have you got?
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Not... Well, I've got a few, but not that many.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I've brought you another one. Have a look at that.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02Wow, that looks lovely. It has a nice weight to it, as well.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05Yes. When I picked it up, it was so nice to see that because it's so important.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08It is. Some of them, if they're too flimsy then that's not good for the hat.
0:37:08 > 0:37:10Now, we've got these maker's marks on the top, here.
0:37:10 > 0:37:14So this is the maker, VN Siegel, on the top, there.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17But it's all repeated on the underside as well.
0:37:17 > 0:37:18Oh, lovely, that's nice.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20There's a sort of impressed mark on the base.
0:37:20 > 0:37:24- Yeah.- So this is sort of cast metal on the underside.
0:37:24 > 0:37:25- Yes.- And then it's all screwed.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28So it goes up-and-down as well, so this adjusts.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31- If I can just put that there.- Yeah. - Can you see that goes up like so?
0:37:31 > 0:37:33You can adjust it to whatever height you want.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34Very nice, yeah, nice height.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37So, date wise, I think we're looking at 1920s.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41So, it's brass but it's also been coated as well.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43- OK.- So the brass is actually coming through.- I can see it there, yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45- So, do you like it?- I do like it, yeah.- OK.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48It's ideal, it would be very good for showing off my bespoke pieces
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- to customers when they're coming in for their meetings.- Really?- Yeah.
0:37:51 > 0:37:56- Price, I'm looking for £120 for it. - About 90?- I need a bit more.- 100?
0:37:56 > 0:37:58- Uh, yeah.- Deal.- Yeah.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03So, Jonty nets another tidy profit of just under £40 without even
0:38:03 > 0:38:06breaking a sweat.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Very good, look at this.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Now, listen to me young Del Boy,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13if you want to get ahead, go to a hat shop.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Yes, if you want good jokes, don't call Hit Man.
0:38:17 > 0:38:22The last stop on his profit quest is to sell his crystal 1960s ice bucket
0:38:22 > 0:38:24to contact, Fiona, in Oxfordshire.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- I'll do 70.- Hm. 60?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31Go on, then, 60 quid.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Topping up his coffers with a final £25.52.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38See? That's how you do it, Danny. You've just got to be ice cool.
0:38:40 > 0:38:41With Jonty over the finish line,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Danny's got a final London buyer up his sleeve.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49He's brought his pestle and mortar to show natural herb supplier, Steve,
0:38:49 > 0:38:52hoping for a profit on his £138 investment.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57Don't you even think about making anything with that yet, Steve.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00- You've not bought it yet. - OK, Danny. Nice to meet you.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04Pleasure. I've noticed that in your cabinets, here, you've got some...
0:39:04 > 0:39:07We sell pestle and mortars and have done for as long as I can remember.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09I mean, they are still made in the UK.
0:39:09 > 0:39:12They would be grinding down the herbs,
0:39:12 > 0:39:16so you grind down roots to make them easier to make infusions from.
0:39:16 > 0:39:21We sell an awful lot of them and have done for as long as I can remember.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24- So they are a popular... - You just be careful, Steve.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26You're making me put your... I'm thinking a bigger price for this
0:39:26 > 0:39:30- piece here, now.- Well, I don't think many people would be able to use this.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32It's not really in the condition that you'd want it to be.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- It's not, no.- I think it would make a very nice display item.
0:39:36 > 0:39:40Well, I mean, Steve, you took the words right out of my mouth.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I bought it in France.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47It's a great shame, really, that it didn't have a sort of date on it.
0:39:47 > 0:39:52- Yeah.- And I can't seem to find out where it was originally used.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56It looks more like the type of pestle and mortar you'd use to get
0:39:56 > 0:39:59the husks off corn and things like that.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02But it's an interesting looking object.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05I'm sure it's something that we'd like to have to display.
0:40:05 > 0:40:09It just depends on the sort of money that you're looking for.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11Well, I mean, I think it's quite rare.
0:40:11 > 0:40:16What I do know is you won't find it on the high street, you know.
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Wouldn't have thought you would've done, no!
0:40:18 > 0:40:21I'd be happy with three and a half hundred quid.
0:40:21 > 0:40:22I was thinking more like 200.
0:40:22 > 0:40:26- What's the best you can do?- The most I'm prepared to pay, 250.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27265.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Call it 260 and we've got a deal.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31We'll have a deal.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37Del Boy just made himself over £122 profit on a rusty pestle and mortar.
0:40:37 > 0:40:39Impressive.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42Yes! That's me all finished up.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45I always get a kind of feeling at this sort of time that the results
0:40:45 > 0:40:48are going to be coming up soon, and all I've got to say...
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Good luck, Jonty and may the best man win.
0:40:53 > 0:40:59How very sporting. Now, both our experts took £750 worth of euros
0:40:59 > 0:41:01to the market in France.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07Jonty bagged himself five items with a total spend of £556.41,
0:41:07 > 0:41:08including framing costs.
0:41:08 > 0:41:14Danny also came home with five treasures, costing just under £490,
0:41:14 > 0:41:15including electrical costs.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20But, of course, all that matters now is profit.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23All the money our delectable duo have made will go straight to their
0:41:23 > 0:41:27chosen charities, so buckle up and prepare yourselves as we find out
0:41:27 > 0:41:31who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:32 > 0:41:36- Bonjour, Danny.- Bonjour, monsieur. - Annecy, what a market!
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- What a beautiful place. Did you enjoy it?- Oh, I loved it.
0:41:38 > 0:41:41- That lamp I bought. Do you remember the lights?- The industrial lights?
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- That's right.- Yeah.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Well, I sold them in the heart of London to a very grand hotel.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48- Did you? Not a dealer?- No, not a dealer.
0:41:48 > 0:41:49They wouldn't pay enough.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52So, you know, I got strong money for it there, but I must say,
0:41:52 > 0:41:55on the other side of the coin, do you remember my sewing box,
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- my 1950s sewing box? - That dodgy looking thing.
0:41:58 > 0:41:59Well, I loved it.
0:41:59 > 0:42:01I thought it was absolutely fantastic.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03But the lady who bought it off me,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06she wasn't as keen on it as what I was because she gave me quite a...
0:42:06 > 0:42:09- Hard time?- Yeah, she did give me a hard time, yes.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Well, she speaks my language, then. - How did you get on, then?
0:42:12 > 0:42:15- Well, just one word. - Oh, it's the Dali!
0:42:15 > 0:42:18- Dali.- How did you get on? - Well, I sold it.- You sold it.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Well, I had no doubt about that at all.- For a small profit.
0:42:21 > 0:42:24Hey, let's have a look in these suitcases and see how big those profits were.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26Shall we have a look? One, two, three.
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Oh, made a small profit!
0:42:29 > 0:42:32You never made... I knew it was a big profit on that piece.
0:42:32 > 0:42:35It was a great item. I'm really pleased, really pleased.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38- Yes, pleased when you found it.- But look at you, you've done so well, too.
0:42:38 > 0:42:40- I've still got a foot in yet. - Haven't we done well?
0:42:40 > 0:42:41- We have done well.- Well done.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47So, Jonty stole the show with his amazing artwork, and he's delighted.
0:42:49 > 0:42:51Well, was it ever in doubt?
0:42:51 > 0:42:53It was the Dali what done it.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55As soon as I saw that, I knew it was a winner.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Quite surreal, really.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00Oh, gutted, pipped to the post.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03But I always knew I was going to struggle against that Dali.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06One thing's for sure, though, you just can't win them all.
0:43:07 > 0:43:11But the Wellingborough wheeler dealer gets another chance at the
0:43:11 > 0:43:13crown tomorrow, when our gents go head-to-head
0:43:13 > 0:43:15at a fast-paced London auction.
