0:00:02 > 0:00:07We've all seen them on TV but how will the country's favourite antique experts fare when they're challenged
0:00:07 > 0:00:09to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Watch out.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14Who's going to make the biggest profit of all? Me.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will be recreating some of their real life
0:00:19 > 0:00:27deals as they go head to head and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- Come on, Knowles. - The competition is really hot.
0:00:31 > 0:00:33The challenge to our experts is clear.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Dealers, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Today's experts are animal-loving auctioneer, James "the Lionheart" Lewis
0:01:09 > 0:01:13and antiques investigator, Curtis "the Detective" Dowling.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's a fake.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Curtis was in his teens when he first became interested in antiques and was quick to discover that if
0:01:20 > 0:01:24you know what you're looking for, there are potentially huge profits to be made.
0:01:24 > 0:01:28I was at a boot fair and I bought a silver specimen vase for £1.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I remember it particularly because the woman said, it's not silver, love.
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Well, it was and I sold it for £600.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Curtis' moniker of "the Detective" comes from his expertise
0:01:38 > 0:01:41in spotting reproductions and fake antiques.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44His opponent is a well-respected valuer and auctioneer.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48James Lewis has over 20 years' experience in the business
0:01:48 > 0:01:54and just like his rival, it was as a young teenager that he first got his taste for the world of antiques.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59The turning point for antiques and collectables for me was when I took on a stand
0:01:59 > 0:02:01at Newark Market on a Monday.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03I remember coming home absolutely shattered.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05It had been a really long day.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10But when I worked out that as a 14 year old, I'd made £180 profit, I wasn't tired any more.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16A regular on Flog It, James can also be seen dispensing words of advice on Bargain Hunt.
0:02:19 > 0:02:24So, we have our experts. They have the knowledge, the contacts and a fierce desire to win.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29For the day's challenge, we're going continental.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33We've taken our experts across the Channel to Dunkirk.
0:02:33 > 0:02:37And with their reputations and hard-earned cash on the line,
0:02:37 > 0:02:41it's time for us to find out the aim of today's game.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Lionheart.- Bonjour.- Hello.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49- Good to see you. - What do you think of Dunkirk, then?
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- It's amazing.- Fantastic beach. - Not many antiques about though.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Well, let's hope that changes.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Someone gave me an envelope for you.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- And for you.- Wow. Shall I go first?
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Go on.- "Curtis and James,
0:03:01 > 0:03:06"your challenge today is to spend up to £750 of your own money...
0:03:06 > 0:03:07"on antiques.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11"You must then resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit
0:03:11 > 0:03:16"as possible and the winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."
0:03:16 > 0:03:18That'll be me, then.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21And I like a man with a sense of humour. Maybe there's one here.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- Very good.- What have you got?
0:03:23 > 0:03:27"Today you must buy all your antiques from a French antiques market."
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Bonne chance, it says.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31- Well, best we get on then.- Come on.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Lead the way.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40So, Curtis and James can spend up to £750 worth of euros on antiques
0:03:40 > 0:03:45at the annual Marche aux Puces, held in the town centre of Dunkirk.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48In order to buy the pieces that he thinks will help him win today's
0:03:48 > 0:03:53contest, Curtis is planning to buy items that he falls in love with.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Let's hope there's some good things.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59His rival, on the other hand, has decided to try and hunt out English
0:03:59 > 0:04:03antiques that are being sold cheaper than they would be back home.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Detective Dowling, I don't think he stands a chance.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Pretty much everybody who Curtis and James try to do deals with will be aware
0:04:09 > 0:04:13they're on a mission to raise as much money as possible for charity.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15And our experts will be doing everything in their power
0:04:15 > 0:04:22to get the best prices when they buy and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26With the starting whistle having been blown, our two
0:04:26 > 0:04:31intrepid experts have set to work, and the Detective has been attracted by a couple of elegant ladies.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Now, they're bronze, on a marble base. And they're really heavy.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40These are about 1925 in style.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43The name on them is Chiparus
0:04:43 > 0:04:50and he is probably one of the most famous modellers from this period.
0:04:50 > 0:04:54Now, if we came across these items and they were real 1920s Chiparus
0:04:54 > 0:05:00items, they'd be sitting here for something like £50,000 for the pair.
0:05:00 > 0:05:06You've still got the style of Chiparus but what you don't have is the crispness of Chiparus.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10Also, if you're buying reproductions, you're not getting the vibes from that period either.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I do only want to walk away with one of them.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I don't think I've got the budget for two.
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Now, it's going to be down to which one I like the most and I'm favouring this young lady here.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24It's just about the face. Don't think this one's too good-looking.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28What are they worth to me? I guess one of them's going to be worth personally about £200.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Let's see what we can get it for.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36So the Detective has picked out one of the ladies and when it comes to the all-important business of
0:05:36 > 0:05:40negotiating, he's keen to make sure there aren't any misunderstandings.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44300. A bit too much for me.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Let's see if we can get away with absolutely nothing.- No.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49No.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52That's about 220. Right.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Let's see if we can get our final deal.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- Allez. Good.- Job done. She's going to look lovely somewhere, isn't she?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Just got to work out where now.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Well, that's a problem for another day.
0:06:04 > 0:06:09At the prevailing exchange rate, Curtis has spent almost £210 on the bronze lady.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11It's a big chunk of his budget
0:06:11 > 0:06:13so he'll need to make a good profit
0:06:13 > 0:06:15when he gets back to the UK.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Elsewhere in the market, Mr Dowling's rival
0:06:17 > 0:06:23is sticking to his strategy in trying to hunt out English antiques.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26Now this is what I've been looking for.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29This is a little piece of English silver.
0:06:29 > 0:06:35It is engraved and chased with these wonderful stylised daffodils
0:06:35 > 0:06:40and it has a suspension ring there for you to put through your finger
0:06:40 > 0:06:47or if you were a 19th century lady, going to a dance, going to a ball, this would be over the finger, you'd
0:06:47 > 0:06:51take the gentleman's hand and you would dance with the bag in hand.
0:06:51 > 0:06:56But what also tells us it's for a dance is this, a little aide-memoire.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59And what you would do, you'd be sitting down waiting for your next dance and you would note
0:06:59 > 0:07:03the next gentlemen's names that have asked you for your dance.
0:07:03 > 0:07:09So that is a wonderful little piece of 19th century history, made in England, and the hallmarks
0:07:09 > 0:07:13that I saw through the glass are on this side here, we have a lion which is the mark for
0:07:13 > 0:07:20English silver, the anchor to say it was hallmarked in Birmingham, and the T, the date code for 1893.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24And this is an altogether very saleable piece in England.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- Monsieur, combien pour ca? - Cent cinquante.- 150 euros.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32I think he'll come down a little bit. What is your best price, sir?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- Cent vingt euros.- OK.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39120 euros. That's about £110.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43I still think there's a profit in that. So that's bought.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Thank you very much. Well done. Merci.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49So the Lionheart has snapped up a bit of Blighty in this corner of France.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Today's competition is all about making the most cash, though.
0:07:55 > 0:08:00And James is determined to find items that have the biggest potential profit, even if that
0:08:00 > 0:08:09means putting your strategy aside. He's seen the light and picked up a French 19th-century chamber stick.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Now, there are a few pointers here that would almost guarantee this is genuine.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17First of all, when you look at it, there is what we call a patination.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Bronze, in itself, is patinated when it's made. It has a covering.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24You can either get gold on the bronze which is called ormolu,
0:08:24 > 0:08:28a silvered bronze, a dark patinated bronze or just a natural bronze like this.
0:08:28 > 0:08:34And if we turn it over, look at that wonderful dark colour. That screams 19th century.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38That's 150, or at least 130 years of age to it.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42The other thing is its price. It's cheap.
0:08:42 > 0:08:47Well, the chamberstick may be cheap and at just under £17 it may have
0:08:47 > 0:08:50made James cheerful, but he'll need to sell it back in the UK.
0:08:50 > 0:08:56Curtis is using his time here in France to try and buy things that he falls in love with.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01He's bought a beautiful bronze woman but the item he's currently got his eye on isn't quite as attractive.
0:09:03 > 0:09:07Chairs like this always drag me over
0:09:07 > 0:09:10because this isn't shabby chic, this is just plain shabby, at the moment.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15But what it is is a very tired chair that's going to need a lot of love and attention.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17That's quite exciting, really. Excuse me.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20- Yeah.- Oh. A nice English lady.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Well, look at that. I love this.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Think it's lovely, but it's got to be the right price for me.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27How much is it?
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Well, I was asking 65.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- I was...- My God, I am in this French market, aren't I?
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I know it's dirty but it is quite a nice chair.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39I'll do it for 30 and that's it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41I can't go any lower.
0:09:41 > 0:09:45I wouldn't ask you to. That's good enough because it needs some restoration so let's shake on 30.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- It needs a lot of work.- It does need a lot of love and attention.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- Yeah.- But at 30, it's mine.
0:09:50 > 0:09:51Thanks very much. Job done.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57That's a good deal for the Detective.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00He's picked up the chair for a little under £30
0:10:00 > 0:10:05and it's going to need a bit, well, actually quite a lot, of TLC to restore it to its former glory.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07James' strategy was to try and find English
0:10:07 > 0:10:14antiques at knock-down prices, but as any good tactician knows, the key to victory is to be flexible.
0:10:14 > 0:10:21And the more he searches the stalls, the more James likes the look of some of the local antiques on offer.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24I've just picked this up. It's a wonderful little corkscrew.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Look at that. That's 19th century.
0:10:27 > 0:10:33That's going to be 1890. It might just creep into the '20s but that's getting on for 100 years old.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37And it's ten euros, less than £10.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40And I reckon there's got to be a profit in that.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, time will tell if the Lionheart is right but having paid
0:10:44 > 0:10:48just under £10, he certainly seems happy with the antique corkscrew.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52His expert eye is picking up piece after piece in today's market.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56And he's using his haggling skills to try and snap up another French gem.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58It started at 150.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01See if we can get it down a little bit lower. Cent?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- Cent dix.- Cent dix is it?
0:11:05 > 0:11:10She's sticking at £100. She's a very tough bargainer, this woman.
0:11:10 > 0:11:15Well, the stallholder might be a tough negotiator but the Lionheart is no pushover and after a little
0:11:15 > 0:11:20more haggling, he manages to bag the box for 105 euros, just under £100.
0:11:20 > 0:11:25Everything about this shouts mid to late 19th century.
0:11:25 > 0:11:291850, 1870, somewhere around there.
0:11:29 > 0:11:34This shape, these canted sides, rectangular form, the way the two veneers are used together,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38the way the embosses are applied, that's all classic of its period.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41And with the enamel, typically French.
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Elsewhere in the market, Curtis is hunting through the stalls searching for potentially profitable pieces.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54Yes. It looks as though the Detective is having a few problems picking
0:11:54 > 0:11:56out pieces that he really loves.
0:11:56 > 0:12:01Mr Lewis, though, is all fired up and he's just sealed another deal.
0:12:02 > 0:12:08Merci. 15 euro. That's about £12.
0:12:08 > 0:12:15They're 18.50, they've got a great deal of character and imagine those polished up in your fireplace.
0:12:15 > 0:12:20James has bagged himself two pairs of andirons for just over £40.
0:12:20 > 0:12:26And he's also bought a 20th century oil on canvas seascape for just over £75.
0:12:26 > 0:12:31Curtis, on the other hand, is finding it harder to spot items that take his fancy.
0:12:33 > 0:12:39# But I still haven't found what I'm looking for. #
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Now, they're may be 1,000 stalls here,
0:12:43 > 0:12:49and we may have been walking around for five hours, but what there is is an awful lot of really average stuff
0:12:49 > 0:12:53and that really average stuff is at really high prices.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58Curtis is putting in the legwork to find potentially profitable items.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05And it looks as though his herdwork has finally paid off.
0:13:08 > 0:13:09What have we got here?
0:13:09 > 0:13:14We've got a 1920s, probably maybe a little bit earlier,
0:13:14 > 0:13:18art nouveau coming into the art deco period, wine flagon.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22French, says so on the bottom which is good. Lovely bit of heavy glass.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23Lovely bit of pewter.
0:13:23 > 0:13:29Curtis thinks it's a winner and he snaps it up for just under £17.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31He also bags a plant stand for just over £33.
0:13:31 > 0:13:38But before he can track down another potential purchase, his rival wants to know how he's getting on.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43Detective Dowling, my old fruit, how you doing?
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- It's my old friend.- Good to see you. How's the day going?
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Well, a lot of stalls but I'm afraid I'm not over happy with the quality.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57- Why?- Well, there's been a lot of bits here, but the prices, the prices seem to be through the roof.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58What have you found?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00An aide-memoire and card case.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Very nice.- Silver. Birmingham. 1893.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- I wish you best of luck with that because I'm a bit concerned about you, that's all.- Are you?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09I've just seen you darting all over the market.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11I thought your strategy might be just buying rubbish.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Darting, me? I don't dart.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- I wander.- Time's pressing on.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- I suppose we'd better crack on. - Go on.- Best of luck.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- Good luck.- See you later.- Have fun.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Finding the right pieces at the right prices in a
0:14:24 > 0:14:30market of this size is no easy task, but both our experts are working hard to unearth hidden gems.
0:14:30 > 0:14:35The question is, how much of their kitties have they spent?
0:14:35 > 0:14:40Remember that our experts could spend up to £750 of their own money.
0:14:40 > 0:14:48Curtis has parted with a little over £285, leaving him with just under £465 still in his kitty.
0:14:49 > 0:14:54James, on the other hand, has spent just under £355
0:14:54 > 0:14:59and at the prevailing exchange rate, that leaves him with nearly £400 still to spend.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06With so many people at today's market, Curtis and James are having to call on all their expertise to
0:15:06 > 0:15:11negotiate prices with stallholders that will give them a chance to make good profits back home.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16James started the day looking for English antiques but he's bought lots of French items
0:15:16 > 0:15:19and his latest find is another local collectable.
0:15:19 > 0:15:25Whenever you're deciding what type of clock to buy, if it's in this form, the first thing is,
0:15:25 > 0:15:30make sure you buy a decent heavy object, because if it's light it's likely to be spelter.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35If it's heavy, you've got a good chance of it being ormolu or bronze.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37The quality of the casting is also important.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Just look at these flowers on the top here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44You can see almost every petal and that tells you it's a good casting.
0:15:44 > 0:15:48The mounts, themselves, these are porcelain.
0:15:48 > 0:15:52Each panel, individual and hand painted.
0:15:52 > 0:16:00These were contemporary with the clock, made 1870 and were inserted into that clock 130, 140 years ago.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02And if we turn this clock around...
0:16:02 > 0:16:06we can see, first of all, the bell in the back.
0:16:06 > 0:16:10This means it's a clock and not a time piece.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12A clock has a bell and strikes.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14A time piece doesn't strike.
0:16:14 > 0:16:21That's the difference. So if we unscrew the little nut at the end here, the bell will come off.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24And behind it, there we are...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27the maker's mark in the back, Japy Freres.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33Good makers specialising in clocks of good quality, around this period.
0:16:33 > 0:16:34So those are all the good points.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38But there are a few bad. Here, we have some little holes in the top.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42The other problem, if we turn it back round...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45is there. We've got one hand.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49But what I would suggest, two new hands, £5, absolutely job done.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52Now, I've already asked the stallholder how much this clock is.
0:16:52 > 0:16:59It's 150 euros. Now, to me, it's worth 120 which is about £110.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm going to offer her that and if she takes it, we've got a deal.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Madam, cent vingt pour ca?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- Oui.- Oui.- Oui.- Cent vingt.- Oui.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Deal. Thank you very much. Merci.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14Now that is worth buying.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Nicely done, Mr Lewis.
0:17:18 > 0:17:23He's found plenty of pieces that he seems to love in today's market.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Sadly, his rival is having a much tougher time finding love.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31Everyone just seems to be selling T-shirts and pants.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36Curtis' strategy of trying to buy things he loves is all but a distant memory.
0:17:36 > 0:17:41Now, he's just desperate to bag himself something he can sell for a profit.
0:17:41 > 0:17:46Now, I always stop at pieces like this because I can't help myself cos I think they're attractive.
0:17:46 > 0:17:51It's a marble base and it's a lady made of spelter lying on top of it with her dog.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53It's not the most fascinating item in the world, is it?
0:17:53 > 0:17:58It's all about money. 75 euros. Well, I wouldn't mind paying that, to be fair.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Let's see if we can get a bit off. Let's call him over.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03Let's hope my menu French works. Monsieur.
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- Hello.- Hello.- Now, what's the best price you can give me on this?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Got 75 on there.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13If you speak English, no, no.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Could go on for a long time.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- 70?- 70.
0:18:17 > 0:18:21- 70. OK. OK.- Job done. Fantastic.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25So, even though the spelter lady isn't really Curtis' type,
0:18:25 > 0:18:29for just over £66, he's taking her home in the hope of making a profit.
0:18:29 > 0:18:35And he's spotted something else that he thinks he might be able to make money on.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Would I normally buy this?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Absolutely no way.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42It's not an antique, but it is interesting.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46It's in the shape of a Dutch wine flagon with acorn finials.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And it's made of pewter and it's new.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52And I guess it's eclectic enough
0:18:52 > 0:18:56for someone just to pick up and say, do you know, we're going to buy that, like I want to. Monsieur.
0:18:56 > 0:18:58Lovely wine flagon.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00How much?
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Cinquante pour vous.- 40.- 50.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08- 50.- 50.
0:19:09 > 0:19:1135.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- 40.- Perfect.
0:19:17 > 0:19:23Job done. Thanks ever so much. Now that's a good deal and that is coming home and it's got some profit in it.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26And profit is the name of the game.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30Now, Curtis might not have found too many items that he's fallen in love with but his rival
0:19:30 > 0:19:32has had much more of a successful day
0:19:32 > 0:19:35and he's picked up a couple of pieces from Blighty
0:19:35 > 0:19:37that he started the day searching for.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39These are Staffordshire.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43They're made about 20 miles from where I live.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47And they were made in the 1850s, 1860s.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51And these little greyhounds resting on cushions were used as pen rests.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54The pen goes in the little hole at the front there and they would
0:19:54 > 0:19:58sit at the back of your desk with the gold line facing you.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00On the back, no gold line.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03And the dogs always face each other.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07So if you have two dogs that face away, they're not a pair.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12These are really good examples but you have to be careful because at the fairs at home at the moment,
0:20:12 > 0:20:16there are hundreds of these about but most of them are fakes and they're made in China.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20Now, since the fakes have been on the market back in the UK,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22the price for these has actually gone down slightly.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25But having said that, they were still cheap.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Hopefully, we'll nearly double the money.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32So, James has got his paws on another English antique
0:20:32 > 0:20:36and paid just under £50 for the Staffordshire dogs.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39Elsewhere in the market, his rival has got his hands on a collection
0:20:39 > 0:20:43that he thinks will pour some profit into his pot when he gets back home.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47What we've got here is a complete set of pewter tavern measures.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51For this set, we paid £9.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55I wonder how that's going to make Lionheart Lewis feel.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58He's going to be whimpering into his beer when he sees what I've paid for these.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Well, you can't fault the Detective's confidence.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04But only time will tell if it's misplaced or not.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Our experts started the day with up to £750 worth of euros in their pockets.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Curtis has spent just under £400 on seven items,
0:21:15 > 0:21:19leaving him with just over £350 in his kitty for restoration work.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24At the prevailing exchange rate, James has spent just over £515
0:21:24 > 0:21:29on nine items, leaving him with just under £235 in his kitty.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34Before the boys begin to make their way back home to Blighty, they're keen to show off their purchases
0:21:34 > 0:21:38and more importantly, to take a look at what their opponent has bought.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42- Well, hello, James.- Good to see you.
0:21:42 > 0:21:44Look at this. What an array of stuff.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Yes. I thought you'd actually been buying stuff, not raiding the tip.
0:21:48 > 0:21:54- How's your day been?- It's actually been very good. Enjoyed it. Had a great day. How about you?
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- It's been a little tough but I think what I've ended with is OK.- Yeah.
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I agree. It looks good from here.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02What's your best thing?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I reckon it's going to be the aide-memoire.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I really like it. Fantastic quality. How about you?
0:22:08 > 0:22:10Oddly enough, it's my chair.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Now, I only paid 30 euros for that.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16What do you think of my tavern measures?
0:22:16 > 0:22:19- They've got a great look, haven't they?- Yes, they have.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22I have to say, I'm never sure with French pewter.
0:22:22 > 0:22:23It always looks older than it actually is.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27- They're not old. Course they're not. - How much?- That's the best bit.
0:22:27 > 0:22:28I paid nine quid.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31- £9, for these?- Yes.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I think they might have got the decimal place in the wrong...
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- They might have done. So, £9 for a complete set. - Well done. They're great.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41A bit of a bargain, I have to say, even though obviously not antique.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43- No. Brilliant though. - It's not been a bad day, has it?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47No. I'm very pleased with it and hopefully, there might be a profit.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50When we get back to England, I guess that's the most important thing of all.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52I'm not sure about that chair though.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54You will be laughing on the other side of your face.
0:22:54 > 0:22:57- Good luck with it. - That chair's profit. Good day.
0:22:57 > 0:22:58And you.
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Having made their purchases, our experts will now have to sell them for the highest prices possible.
0:23:03 > 0:23:09Curtis will be hoping to profit from a Chiparus reproduction bronze statue,
0:23:09 > 0:23:14a rather tired relaxer chair, an art deco marble and spelter figure,
0:23:14 > 0:23:19an early 20th century French pewter and glass wine flagon,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and an even larger one, with acorn finials,
0:23:22 > 0:23:27a garden plant stand, and a set of pewter tavern measures.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31James will be selling an English silver aide-memoire,
0:23:31 > 0:23:35two pairs of andirons,
0:23:35 > 0:23:37a bronze chamberstick,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39a 19th century corkscrew,
0:23:39 > 0:23:44a mid to late 19th century French tea caddy with mother of pearl enamel decoration,
0:23:44 > 0:23:51a 20th century oil on canvas seascape, a 19th century spelter clock,
0:23:51 > 0:23:55and a pair of mid-19th century Staffordshire dogs.
0:23:59 > 0:24:03So, after their antiques buying head-to-head in Dunkirk, the challenge now for James
0:24:03 > 0:24:07and Curtis is to sell their wares for the biggest possible profit.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Hello, Tim. How are you?
0:24:09 > 0:24:14They'll both be pulling out all the stops to find the right buyers for all of their items.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17They're working their way through their little black books
0:24:17 > 0:24:19putting deals together on the phone and by email.
0:24:19 > 0:24:25But until they've shaken on it and money's changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27Now, when he was in France, James' painting got
0:24:27 > 0:24:32damaged when a freak gust of wind blew it over, ripping the canvas.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36As it wasn't his fault, the Put Your Money games masters have decided, with the agreement
0:24:36 > 0:24:39of his rival, to reimburse the Lionheart for the cost of the painting.
0:24:39 > 0:24:45The bad news for Mr Lewis is that he's now got one less item to sell.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48James isn't a man to dwell on setbacks though
0:24:48 > 0:24:53and he's lined up a potential buyer for the tea caddy he bought in the French antiques market.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57You definitely are trying hard, aren't you?
0:24:57 > 0:25:01I tell you what, 250 and you'll mend that as well.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05Oh, please, James.
0:25:07 > 0:25:08Go on, then.
0:25:08 > 0:25:16That's a good sale for the Lionheart and gives him a profit of over £150.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22Unfortunatley for James, when he took the box away to get it repaired, disaster struck.
0:25:22 > 0:25:29Whilst he was driving, an electrical fault caused his car to catch fire.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33The tea caddy was inside and no tea caddy means no profits.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36James' insurance claim means that he will be reimbursed for the cost of
0:25:36 > 0:25:41the item but now he's lost two pieces from the nine he bought.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44If he wants to win today's contest, he can't afford any more accidents.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48In the West Country, Curtis has arranged a meeting to try and sell
0:25:48 > 0:25:51the large flagon he bought for just under £40 in France.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52How about 70?
0:25:54 > 0:25:5690?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02- I tell you what, I'll do you a deal. - Go on.- I'll split the difference. 80.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Right.- And we'll give you a wine tasting at the same time.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Now that is well worth shaking on.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08- Thank you very much indeed.- Done.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10That's a good sale for Curtis.
0:26:10 > 0:26:15The large flagon has poured over £40 into his profit pot.
0:26:15 > 0:26:20Well, double your pleasure, double your fun. Double your money, James.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21Well, he's a happy man.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27But Curtis knows if he wants to win today's contest, he has to make good profits on all of his items.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31And he's decided to sell his smaller flagon, or decanter, to a familiar face.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Brought that decanter in to show you.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I'm pretty busy at the moment. Shall we go outside and have a look?
0:26:36 > 0:26:39Curtis bought the decanter for just under £17.
0:26:39 > 0:26:44Look, John, I know you're busy in the kitchen but I didn't think you could resist this, for two reasons.
0:26:44 > 0:26:49One, it's French. And two, it's got something to do with one of your passions, wine.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Yeah. No. Fine. So where did you pick it up?
0:26:51 > 0:26:53I picked it up in a French market.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- It's made of pewter. - Yeah.- And glass, of course.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- It's about 100 years old so it's art nouveau.- And how do I know that?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02Well, you can probably tell in two ways. First of all, the style.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06The second thing is the pewter is ageing relatively well.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Pewter changes its consistency and its colour and its texture
0:27:09 > 0:27:14over the years and if I stood a new piece next to you, you'd certainly know the difference.
0:27:14 > 0:27:15How much do you want for it?
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, I'm looking for about 100 quid, to be fair, John.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21You've got no chance with me. I'm not going to pay 100 quid for this.
0:27:21 > 0:27:2440 quid and I'm doing you a favour.
0:27:24 > 0:27:26Look. I know you've got to get back to work.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29I don't want to put it back in the car.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Come and give us the 40 quid in the place then.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33- Let's do it.- Thanks.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35John Burton Race isn't a man to mess around
0:27:35 > 0:27:41and Curtis has secured another sale and banked just over £20 of profit.
0:27:41 > 0:27:45- You drive a hard bargain, John. - I'm doing you a favour and I'm used to it, anyway.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51Curtis' rival has made his way down to the capital to try and sell his elegant aide-memoire.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55I'm in central London and underneath my feet are the world-famous London
0:27:55 > 0:28:01silver vaults, a collection of over 50 dealers specialising in silver.
0:28:01 > 0:28:06The shops here are known as vaults and they specialise in all things silver.
0:28:06 > 0:28:07But the dealers here know their stuff.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11So will James be able to make a profit on the aide-memoire?
0:28:11 > 0:28:15In France, he paid just over £113 for it.
0:28:15 > 0:28:17It's a bit smaller than the sort of thing I normally stock.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Great quality though.
0:28:19 > 0:28:24Yes. It's good quality. It's in good condition. Beautifully engraved.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29So I suppose, if the price is right, at £20, it'd be very nice.
0:28:29 > 0:28:32Wouldn't it just. I mean, I was thinking in terms of 250.
0:28:32 > 0:28:36My initial reaction was considerably less.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Right.
0:28:38 > 0:28:39How about 220?
0:28:39 > 0:28:42It's really got to be under 200.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44So are you thinking 190?
0:28:45 > 0:28:50- I'm thinking 170. - I'm still thinking nearer 200.
0:28:50 > 0:28:51Let's toss a coin for the difference.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54OK. Here we go.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57Right. Which one do you want?
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Heads.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03- Heads...- Heads.- it's 190.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- Tails it's 200.- I never win.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09£200.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- OK.- Well done. Thank you so much. - I keep the coin.- You do.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Well, it looks as though luck is on the Lionheart's side.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19He won the coin toss and banks almost £87 worth of profit.
0:29:21 > 0:29:26He also pockets almost £40 from his French chamberstick.
0:29:29 > 0:29:34Both our experts are working their socks off trying to secure the deals that will win them today's contest.
0:29:36 > 0:29:39And Curtis has taken to the high seas, well, sort of...
0:29:41 > 0:29:44..to try and make a profitable sale.
0:29:44 > 0:29:51My next location has played host to kings and queens, Noel Coward, Agatha Christie.
0:29:51 > 0:29:55Now, I might not be the most the glamorous person arriving here
0:29:55 > 0:29:59but I'm trying to win the prize for the most dramatic entrance.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02Now, how do you land this thing?
0:30:02 > 0:30:07Yes. I'm not sure rowing a dinghy is particularly dramatic, but you can't fault him for effort.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11Mr Dowling has come to Burgh Island because he's hoping the hotel's art
0:30:11 > 0:30:18deco heritage will help him sell the spelter and marble sculpture that he bought for just over £66.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22She's lovely.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26And what's lovely about her is I think she would really look good here.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29The thing I always find really interesting actually about
0:30:29 > 0:30:32the female figures in the period, and it is generally female...
0:30:32 > 0:30:35- You're absolutely right.- ..how surprisingly modern they are, in
0:30:35 > 0:30:38terms of figure and athleticism and their appearance.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42Maybe that's why we don't see chaps, they don't look quite as good.
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Oh, I don't know.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47No. She's a very, very, very fun piece. I'm very tempted, Curtis.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It all comes down to price in the end, doesn't it?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Well, I'd have to look at something like £250 for an item like this.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54I just can't do it that high.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57It's lovely and I don't want you to have to trek
0:30:57 > 0:31:02back across the beach on this hot, hot, hot day with this heavy statue but I just can't go to 250.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06- OK. Give me a figure. - I was thinking more of 175, Curtis.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Now, that is very low. I think that's very low, actually.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13Would you be happy with 200?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I don't want to push it that far.
0:31:15 > 0:31:21I'm going to meet you sort of in the middle and say why don't we settle on 190?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24- Not quite the middle but I'll do it. - Fantastic.
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Now, do you want us to put her somewhere and find a home?
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I think we'll check her out in reception.- See how we get on.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Well, Curtis' hotelier contact clearly knows her stuff
0:31:32 > 0:31:37but the Detective has still bagged over £120 worth of profit.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Well, how about that.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41More profit for my charity.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44Fantastic. Do you know, I never leave Burgh Island disappointed.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47It's time to go now, on a sea tractor.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Bet James Lewis has never been on a sea tractor.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Yes. I'm not sure what he's most happy about,
0:31:52 > 0:31:56bagging a fabulous profit or taking a ride in the sea tractor.
0:31:56 > 0:32:01and there's more joy for Curtis as he banks over £30 from his pewter tavern measures.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Cheers, James Lewis.
0:32:04 > 0:32:07With both our experts sealing deal after profitable deal,
0:32:07 > 0:32:14it's time to find out who's on the crest of a wave and who's in danger of sinking without a trace.
0:32:14 > 0:32:21Curtis has made £350 worth of sales and banked healthy profits
0:32:21 > 0:32:23of just under £220.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25James' tea caddy going up in flames means
0:32:25 > 0:32:30that despite sealing a deal for it, he's made very small profits indeed.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35If Mr Lewis is going to win today's contest from this position, he's really got his work cut out.
0:32:35 > 0:32:41But both he and Curtis are working hard to set up potential deals by phone and email.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44They're talking up their items but even though they might discuss
0:32:44 > 0:32:49figures with their prospective buyers, until money is handed over, no sale is secured.
0:32:49 > 0:32:55Now, I think it's fair to say that when he was buying in Dunkirk, Curtis didn't fall head over heels
0:32:55 > 0:32:58in love with many of the items he bought.
0:32:58 > 0:33:03But one thing he was keen on was the relaxer chair that had seen better days.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06He thought that it was packed with potential and in order to restore it
0:33:06 > 0:33:10to its former glory, he's arranged for it to have a full makeover.
0:33:10 > 0:33:16But this isn't just a light rubdown with some sandpaper and a damp cloth.
0:33:16 > 0:33:20When the Detective has his furniture refurbished, he spares no expense.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24To do the job properly, it has to be stripped,
0:33:24 > 0:33:26reassembled
0:33:26 > 0:33:29and finally, carefully waxed.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36In Derbyshire, the Lionheart is on his way to try and get his paws on some more profit.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39# You ain't nothing but a hound dog
0:33:39 > 0:33:42# Crying all the time. #
0:33:42 > 0:33:46James paid just over £47 for the pair of Staffordshire dogs and it's time to start selling.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50Yeah. They're nice, presentable.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Yeah? Good. I love them.
0:33:52 > 0:33:54I thought they were quite delicate.
0:33:54 > 0:33:59I thought the necks were nice and slender and I loved the way you can actually see through the arch there.
0:33:59 > 0:34:01- Yeah.- They're not the standard moulded model.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04- No.- One grade up, I think. 1850, do you think?
0:34:04 > 0:34:071850, 1870, somewhere around there.
0:34:07 > 0:34:09- Yeah.- Yeah. - Yeah. Do you agree on that?- Yeah.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Absolutely. And they're not the fakes which is the best bit.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15You get a lot of them about but these are genuine.
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- I was thinking around 220?- No.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- No?- Little bit strong for me, that. Bit strong.- What were you thinking?
0:34:22 > 0:34:24I'd like to pay £100 for them.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26Oh, no. 150.
0:34:26 > 0:34:31No. 120.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- 130.- 125 and done. Deal?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37Deal. Deal. That is fantastic. I'm happy with that.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Nicely done, James.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44The dogs have added almost £80 profit to his kitty.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49125 shows a great profit for me but also a bargain for Kevin so he's happy.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54So it's smiles all round and there's more good news for Mr Lewis
0:34:54 > 0:34:59as he secures good profits from the sale of his two pairs of andirons.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05In London, Curtis is trying to sell his plant stand to another famous face.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08Known to most of us as Keith from EastEnders,
0:35:08 > 0:35:11not so many people know that actor Dave Spinks is also a keen gardener.
0:35:11 > 0:35:16But will he be keen enough to give Curtis a profit on the plant stand
0:35:16 > 0:35:20which set the Detective back just over £33 in France?
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Well, I think it's perfect.
0:35:21 > 0:35:27I've a feeling I'm going to put my glass terrarium on top, have some pots, bit of dangling ivy.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29I think I'll have a quick look down here.
0:35:29 > 0:35:36- Right. The wheels are looking dodgy but I can fix that. - A handyman as well.- Not a problem.
0:35:36 > 0:35:40Well, the big question is, Dave, what are you prepared to pay?
0:35:40 > 0:35:43Right. Haggle time, folks.
0:35:43 > 0:35:48I tell you what, I was thinking maybe, what, 40 quid,
0:35:48 > 0:35:50as a starting point. Come on.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54OK. Well, I was thinking pretty close to 70 quid.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56Ouch. You're robbing me. No.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- I tell you what, it looks like we're going to meet halfway somewhere here.- Go on.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04So let's call it a round figure.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- 50? - I knew that's where you were going.
0:36:06 > 0:36:09Well, there seems nowhere else to go, was there?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Listen. Put it here, mate. 50 quid. 50 quid. Yeah?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13- Are you happy with that?- Very happy.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15Well done, Curtis.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Another satisfied customer and another profit.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24James still has items left to sell though and has taken his 19th
0:36:24 > 0:36:28century corkscrew to an auction house on the south west coast.
0:36:28 > 0:36:35Having bought it for just under £10, he's confident this vintage will serve him well.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Ten is bid straightaway. Can I see 15? 15 is bid. 20.
0:36:38 > 0:36:4325. 30. 35. 40.
0:36:43 > 0:36:4545. 50.
0:36:45 > 0:36:4855. 60. 65. 70.
0:36:48 > 0:36:5165 with you, sir.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54That's more than six times what I paid for it.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57- Number, sir? - Fantastic. I'm thrilled with that.
0:36:57 > 0:37:02That's a great result for the Lionheart. And as he's on a mission to raise as much money as possible
0:37:02 > 0:37:06for charity, the auctioneer has kindly waived his fees.
0:37:06 > 0:37:12So, the 19th century corkscrew has produced a very tasty profit of just over £55.
0:37:12 > 0:37:18The Detective is aiming to seal a big deal by entering a dragon's den.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21He's trying to sell his restored relaxer chair and bronze lady to
0:37:21 > 0:37:26Joanne Bannatyne, wife of the famous businessman, Duncan Bannatyne.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30Including £130 worth of restoration,
0:37:30 > 0:37:34the pair cost Curtis just over £365.
0:37:34 > 0:37:37- Here they are.- Oh, wow.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Well, I know you like eclectic things, you see.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42I do. OK. Tell me about it then.
0:37:42 > 0:37:48Well, I bought them both from a French market and this chair was in ruins when I bought it.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49It's not massively old.
0:37:49 > 0:37:54But what it is is it's attractive, it's well made.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56- Yeah. I really like that. - Well, the other thing's this statue.
0:37:56 > 0:38:03Now, it's a copy of a maker and a sculptor called Dimitri Chiparus, who was a Romanian.
0:38:03 > 0:38:09- She's lovely.- Now, Dimitri Chiparus came into France to start sculpting in about 1915.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13He wanted an original Dimitri Chiparus, like that.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17Today you're probably going to pay anywhere between £15,000-£30,000.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Well, I love her because like the chair, I'd say she makes you smile.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25- I love her shape and well, her position.- Do you like them both?
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- I like them both.- If you like both of them, that brings us onto the terrible subject of money.
0:38:29 > 0:38:32I was thinking for the pair, of about £1,000.
0:38:33 > 0:38:38- As a pair, knock it in half. 500. - Wow.
0:38:38 > 0:38:43Well, Curtis has started high but Joanne is going to be no pushover.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47If he wants to win today's contest though, he needs to persuade her to
0:38:47 > 0:38:52pay nearer the £1,000 he's asked for than the £500 she's offered.
0:38:52 > 0:38:58His rival is also determined to win today's competition and he's hoping to seal a big deal of his own.
0:38:58 > 0:39:00How are you?
0:39:00 > 0:39:02He's brought his ormolu clock to a hotelier contact
0:39:02 > 0:39:05who has a real passion for, and knowledge of, antiques.
0:39:05 > 0:39:11If he wants to make a profit, he needs to sell it for more than £114.
0:39:11 > 0:39:12My goodness, you're right.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Business must be good. This looks fantastic.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Superb. What have you got for me?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21It's a French clock, made around 1870.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23I love the quality of the ormolu.
0:39:23 > 0:39:25That's actually what made me think of you, to be honest.
0:39:25 > 0:39:27You're missing a hand.
0:39:27 > 0:39:32When I was at the French market, I thought, I'll get that done but when I thought about you,
0:39:32 > 0:39:36- I thought well, maybe you've got somebody here that can do it.- Yeah.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38- Have you?- Well, quite possibly. Yes.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40It's a good size. Good shape.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Good design. Do you like it?
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- Oh, very good.- Yeah? Keen?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Well, tell me what the damage is.
0:39:47 > 0:39:49What were you thinking?
0:39:49 > 0:39:52I'll give you £100 for it.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54Looking for bids, not insults.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56That is far too low. That is less than I paid for it.
0:39:56 > 0:40:02- You tell me. Come on. - OK. I was thinking in terms of 400.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04It'd have to be less than that.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06I'm a poor hotelier.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10Well, we'll find out very shortly how much James managed to sell the clock for
0:40:10 > 0:40:13and if Curtis was able to persuade Joanne Bannatyne to
0:40:13 > 0:40:18pay anywhere near the £1,000 for the relaxer chair and statuette.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22As it's time to tot up the totals and reveal who is today's
0:40:22 > 0:40:26Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:40:26 > 0:40:31Curtis spent just under £400 at the French antiques market
0:40:31 > 0:40:34and a further £130 renovating his chair.
0:40:34 > 0:40:40James, on the other hand, parted with just over £515.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45All of the profit that James and Curtis have made from today's challenge will be going to charity.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48So, without further ado, it's time to find out which of them has made
0:40:48 > 0:40:53- the most cash and who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.- Curtis, good to see you.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- James, how are you? - Very well. How are you?
0:40:56 > 0:40:58I'm good. Ready for the magic moment.
0:40:58 > 0:41:00- Feeling quite nervous.- Are you?
0:41:00 > 0:41:04- You shouldn't. That beautiful aide-memoire you bought. - Well, yeah, I did OK with that.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07I mean, I sold it to a really good dealer but you bought some great things.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10- That spelter figure, I loved it. - Yeah. Did OK with that.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13And do you remember that chair?
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Talking about great things, that chair. Yes.
0:41:15 > 0:41:19I did it up and it was OK in the end.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20- OK?- Yeah. It worked out nicely.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23- Stood on the floor, did it? - It's comfy.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26Oh, yeah. I bet you were sitting in it at home.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28You didn't actually find anyone to buy that, did you?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30I did, actually. Yes.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31God. Now I am nervous.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- Here we go.- Yes.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38- After three.- Yes.- One. Two. Three.
0:41:41 > 0:41:44- Congratulations.- I owe you a beer.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46I think you did very well do. Come on.
0:41:46 > 0:41:50So, it's a victory for James and he banked an excellent profit on the sale of his clock.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53260, my final offer.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56Well, you look after me. I'll look after you. Well done. Fantastic.
0:41:56 > 0:42:02A sale of £260 gave James a profit of almost £150.
0:42:02 > 0:42:06Curtis did manage to seal a deal on his chair and bronze lady.
0:42:06 > 0:42:10- 570?- Deal.
0:42:10 > 0:42:14But it wasn't enough to win today's contest.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16Bit disappointed I didn't win this one.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19I think James was slightly a fish out of water with this because I've
0:42:19 > 0:42:22done a lot of these French markets, but it was a fairly tight thing.
0:42:22 > 0:42:26Where did I fall down? I bought a chair and spent an awful lot of money doing it up.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Maybe if I hadn't done that, I'd be winning this one today.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Beating Curtis, it's luck, not judgement. It's pure luck.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36But you know, at the end of the day, I'm so pleased.
0:42:36 > 0:42:40Well, I think the Lionheart is being a little modest.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43But both our experts worked incredibly hard to raise hundreds of
0:42:43 > 0:42:48pounds and every penny will be going to their chosen charities.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51The charity I've chosen is Disability Challenges down in Surrey.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55They're a fairly small charity and money like this will go an awfully long way.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58It's going to mean so much to ACE Africa.
0:42:58 > 0:43:00It is just such a wonderful charity.
0:43:00 > 0:43:04And that will save children's lives and what can be better than that?
0:43:04 > 0:43:08It's been a triumphant day for James but he and Curtis aren't finished,
0:43:08 > 0:43:12because tomorrow, they'll be locking horns at an auction.
0:43:14 > 0:43:15Lost again.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17This is not going the way I planned it, you know.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20That is incredible.
0:43:20 > 0:43:22Well, we've got a bit of time left. Good luck.
0:43:22 > 0:43:25I wish I could say the same.
