0:00:02 > 0:00:03We've all seen them on TV,
0:00:03 > 0:00:06but how will the country's favourite antiques experts fare
0:00:06 > 0:00:09when they're challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:12I'll be switching on my bargain-ometer.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15Knocker Knowles, I'm right on your heels!
0:00:15 > 0:00:17From car boot sales to auction houses,
0:00:17 > 0:00:21our experts will be recreating some of their real life
0:00:21 > 0:00:23deals as they go head to head
0:00:23 > 0:00:27and try to make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28You watch out here, Miss Bliss.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31So the pressure is really on.
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.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Today's hard-nosed dealers
0:01:08 > 0:01:10are Put Your Money's very own genial gent,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Jonty the Hitman Hearnden
0:01:12 > 0:01:16and our very own First Lady of antiques,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Kate Absolute Bliss.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20With a father who was an auctioneer,
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Kate has spent her life surrounded by antiques,
0:01:23 > 0:01:26and is a renowned independent valuer, agent and broker
0:01:26 > 0:01:28with over 12 years of business experience.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32To say that I've got a favourite period is actually quite tricky.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35But I think if I had to name one, it would be the Regency period,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39the very beginning of the 19th century, when things were very elegant.
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Her position as First Lady of antiques
0:01:42 > 0:01:45comes from dispensing expert advice on Bargain Hunt and Flog It.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Can I be really cheeky and say, what about 12?
0:01:51 > 0:01:56Jonty has carved out a very successful career in the world of antiques and collectibles,
0:01:56 > 0:01:59having worked at world-famous auction houses
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and running his own antiques business.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04I first got into antiques 30 years ago.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I left school with no notion of what I wanted to do at all, so I joined a
0:02:07 > 0:02:13firm of London auctioneers, where I got very excited very quickly.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Met lots of very interesting people,
0:02:15 > 0:02:17and have really never left the business.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20A firm favourite with the housewives,
0:02:20 > 0:02:22this antiques hunter can regularly be found
0:02:22 > 0:02:24searching for Cash in the Attic.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Today we're giving good old Blighty a well deserved break,
0:02:27 > 0:02:32because our challenge will be taking place overseas in Belgium.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Jonty and Kate have headed to Waterloo
0:02:37 > 0:02:42and with their reputations and the fortunes of their chosen charities on the line,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45it's time for us to find out the aim of today's game.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46- Morning.- Morning.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Well, obviously we've been sent here to Waterloo to do battle.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Yes. That must be for you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- That's presumably for you. - Let's have a look.- Here we go.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57Let's see what it says here.
0:02:57 > 0:03:02Right, it says, "Jonty and Kate, your challenge today is to spend £750..."
0:03:02 > 0:03:04That must be in euros though, surely?
0:03:04 > 0:03:08I suppose the equivalent of, "Of your own money on antiques.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13"You must then re sell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17"The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."
0:03:17 > 0:03:23Well, "Today you must buy all your antiques from a Belgian market."
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Well, bonne chance, mon ami.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27Let battle commence.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31So, our experts can spend up to £750 of their own money
0:03:31 > 0:03:33at an antiques market.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36They will then bring these purchases back to the UK
0:03:36 > 0:03:39and try and sell them on for as much profit as possible.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Today's market is on the outskirts of Waterloo near Brussels.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48The market, held every Sunday, hosts hundreds of professional dealers.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51It's a fantastic place to pick up top-quality antiques,
0:03:51 > 0:03:54but will they be at rock-bottom prices?
0:03:54 > 0:03:58Look at this - fishing for bargains, you've got a corset!
0:03:58 > 0:04:01Pretty much everybody that Jonty and Kate try to do deals with will
0:04:01 > 0:04:03be aware they're on a mission
0:04:03 > 0:04:06to raise as much money as possible for charity
0:04:06 > 0:04:08and our experts will do everything in their power
0:04:08 > 0:04:12to persuade people to give them the best possible prices
0:04:12 > 0:04:14when they buy and sell the items
0:04:14 > 0:04:16that they hope will drive them to victory.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18One thing I am focused on today is,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21I'm going to beat that Jonty Hearnden.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27In order to get the best deals Kate will keep an open mind on the items she tries to buy.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Jonty, on the other hand, will be focusing most of his
0:04:30 > 0:04:35energies on finding potentially profitable pieces of furniture.
0:04:37 > 0:04:42Perfect. This is the sort of chair that I always look for in markets like this.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Need to check what's behind the fringe at the bottom,
0:04:44 > 0:04:49but I suspect we've got ebony turned legs. Let's have a look down here.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56There we go look at that really nice quality turned legs.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00They need a bit of a freshen up, but with this fringe taken off,
0:05:00 > 0:05:03and with this chair completely re covered,
0:05:03 > 0:05:06this is a very pretty little bedroom chair.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09Excuse me. Pardon?
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Combien? Cent?- Oui.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- What about this vase. 20- This is 20?
0:05:18 > 0:05:21What's your best price for two?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23I will take 80, that's really my best price.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- 80 for two?- 80 for both.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27You have a sale. Fantastic. Merci.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32So, that's just over £75 for the vase and chair.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35If every dealer is as quick as that then Jonty
0:05:35 > 0:05:37could be back in Blighty by lunch.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Kate, you missed that. You missed it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Now listen here, listen very carefully.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50The right buyer at home is going to pay £600 - £800
0:05:50 > 0:05:54for that chair completely restored, but I've got to find the right buyer.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57If he's planning to restore the chair to its former glory,
0:05:57 > 0:06:01then Jonty will need to remember to hold back some of his budget.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05On the other side of the market Kate's made her first purchase too.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08But, unlike her rival, she's planning ahead.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Merci.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Well...
0:06:14 > 0:06:16"Not very exciting," you say to me.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Pretty dirty and certainly not very old.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20It's just a little child's deckchair.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22My daughter would love it.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25But I bought this with one particular person in mind
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and that's the lady who lives just down the road from me
0:06:28 > 0:06:32who has the most fantastic collection of child's chairs.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37This is in a completely different league of course.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41But I'm hoping, I've only paid just under £5 for it, she might just
0:06:41 > 0:06:45buy it from me for a small profit as a bit of fun.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47The worrying thing is, if I can't persuade her,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50I don't know what on earth I'm going to do with it.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54Kate may have only splashed out just under a fiver on her deckchair,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58but every penny of potential profit counts in today's competition.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Now, our cultural attaches
0:07:00 > 0:07:04have been soaking up the atmosphere since they stepped off the train.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07However, it seems the drama and pressure
0:07:07 > 0:07:11of this continental clash has become a little too much for Jonty.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22FRENCH ACCENT: I am broken by the never-ending wheel
0:07:22 > 0:07:24of the antiques hunt.
0:07:30 > 0:07:35Objects of beauty drive me wild with desire.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Hmm.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42I am an empty shell of a man
0:07:42 > 0:07:45until I find the splendour of an antique chair.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51Hmm.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54My heart weeps and is hollow
0:07:54 > 0:07:59every hour that passes without the thrill of a deal.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03Yeah whatever, Jonty. Just put your money where your mouth is.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Yes, wise words indeed from Miss Bliss.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08Pull yourself together, Mr Hearnden.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Now, when it comes to making a profit from Jonty's next purchase,
0:08:12 > 0:08:17you could be forgiven for thinking he hasn't got a leg to stand on.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Now, you may well think I've gone completely mad
0:08:19 > 0:08:21and I can understand your thinking.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24You're thinking, what on earth has he bought here?
0:08:24 > 0:08:30Well, what I have bought are two 19th century dining table ends
0:08:30 > 0:08:33in appalling condition.
0:08:33 > 0:08:39Now, once upon a time, these two lumps of expensive firewood
0:08:39 > 0:08:41were part of a very grand
0:08:41 > 0:08:4419th century dining table.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47The timber itself is walnut,
0:08:47 > 0:08:52and you can tell that by the colour and the shape of the grain.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56So, for just over £20, how could I refuse?
0:08:56 > 0:08:58How, indeed, Jonty.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Put You Money's resident furniture fanatic is on a bit of a roll.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05But his rival is also hard at work.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Just look what I've found here.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Filthy dirty, and in a scruffy box,
0:09:11 > 0:09:16I've found a German 1950s coffee set. Great coffee pot,
0:09:16 > 0:09:22five little cups and saucers, and a sugar bowl and a jug.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25Now what I like about this is, although it's German,
0:09:25 > 0:09:29it's very reminiscent of what factories like Midwinter and Hornsey
0:09:29 > 0:09:31were producing in Britain in the 1950s.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34They often used more illustrative designs,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37this is a really strong graphic geometric design.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Spots and squares, typically German,
0:09:39 > 0:09:43but also very contemporary today and commercial.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Now we've a little bit of damage to this jug,
0:09:46 > 0:09:50there's a bad chip out of the rim there, but the rest looks OK.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55Now take a look at this sugar pot. It's still got the sugar in it and
0:09:55 > 0:09:58it, and it looks like it's been there since the 50s. Nice!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01Now I've just picked this up for 15 Euros,
0:10:01 > 0:10:03so just under £15 to you and me.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05I think that's a bargain.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Let's face it, just a good clean is going to put a tenner on it.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Let us not forget that profit is what it's all about.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16With everything still to play for,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18our experts continue their search
0:10:18 > 0:10:24and Kate needs to knuckle down because, while Jonty has been busy collecting pieces of furniture,
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Miss Bliss has barely spent any money.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Well, I have myself a deal.
0:10:30 > 0:10:3320 Euros, which is roughly £18.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36I'd like it to be slightly less because he is quite badly damaged,
0:10:36 > 0:10:38but I'll just have to find
0:10:38 > 0:10:42somebody who might be able to do a little bit of repair on my bear.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Let's hope he will bring me good luck.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47I think I'm going to call him Pierre.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Pierre, le Francais bear.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53Let's hope that Pierre knows a good antique when he sees one,
0:10:53 > 0:10:57because so far Kate seems to be buying up bric a brac.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Thankfully, we can always count on Jonty's good taste.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05Or can we?
0:11:05 > 0:11:12I just bought this tangerine ceramic lamp base with this outrageously
0:11:12 > 0:11:14kitsch lampshade.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I would no more have this in my house than fly to the moon,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21but there's a big market back in the UK,
0:11:21 > 0:11:22particularly for this kind of colour.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25This tangerine you see everywhere at the moment.
0:11:25 > 0:11:29As a consequence there's going to be a profit in there somewhere.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33I've just paid 10 Euro, so just a tad under £10.
0:11:33 > 0:11:39There has to be a profit in it. So what I'm going to do is buy yet more.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43So, there's method to the big man's madness and true to his word,
0:11:43 > 0:11:46he snaps up these kitsch lights for just under £50.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Remember - when buying electrical items abroad,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54you will need a qualified UK electrician to rewire them.
0:12:01 > 0:12:05Elsewhere in the market, Kate has picked up a bookcase.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07It seems as though she's not its only fan.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14This is absolutely riddled with woodworm.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Now it's very easy to treat this.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20Go to your local hardware store, buy some woodworm killer
0:12:20 > 0:12:23and douse it thoroughly, pushing the liquid into all the holes.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Leave it for a good 48 hours and then do it all again.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29And hopefully you'll get rid of those worms.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Now because the holes are in the back I'm not too concerned about
0:12:33 > 0:12:36them, because this will be pushed up against a wall.
0:12:36 > 0:12:41Now, for 20 Euros, that's just under £20 for you and me,
0:12:41 > 0:12:43I don't think I can go wrong.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48And this little gem might just give Jonty Hearnden a run for his money.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Well, that's almost £20 out of Kate's kitty
0:12:51 > 0:12:54and another potential profit-turning opportunity.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58And she adds the her haul by snapping up this leather satchel
0:12:58 > 0:13:01and bag for just under £30.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Jonty, though, is a man on a buying mission.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13He's splashed over £330 on his latest buy.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Just look at this just look at it.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23How about this for a fabulous shape? Look at that domed top that we've got there. Wonderful.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Look at these wonderful...
0:13:25 > 0:13:30these outrageously good-quality bevelled mirrors on the front here.
0:13:30 > 0:13:32It's fabulous. Ready to go.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35The only problem I do have here is we've got the marking here.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I think I can disguise that.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41I have a lock issue. The lock doesn't work very well at all.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46I think that's more of a key issue rather than the lock itself.
0:13:46 > 0:13:50Apart from that it's fabulously wonderful value for money.
0:13:50 > 0:13:55To the right person, I can see this easily selling for around £800.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59If I sell it to the trade it will be a little bit less.
0:13:59 > 0:14:01But, hey how about that?
0:14:01 > 0:14:05There's bagfuls of profit in it, wardrobes full of profit.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09If the Hitman's right about the wardrobe holding a big profit,
0:14:09 > 0:14:12then Kate will need to find some heavy-hitting items of her own.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16So, it's time to find out who's on course to be today's top trump
0:14:16 > 0:14:18and who's the joker in the pack.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Both the Hitman and Absolute Bliss
0:14:21 > 0:14:25started with £750 of their own money.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29In his search for fine furniture Jonty has managed to spend
0:14:29 > 0:14:34just over £485, leaving him with almost £265 to spend.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Kate, on the other hand, has parted with just under £85,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42leaving her a little over £665 in her kitty.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49So, both our experts still have plenty of money to play with.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52And Absolute Bliss is shopping with a vengeance.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56One shelf and coat rack
0:14:56 > 0:14:59or hat rack,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01but lovely wrought iron brackets.
0:15:01 > 0:15:06These are really nicely cast with leafy scrolls on them.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10Horrible red colour. I don't think I'd want that in my house,
0:15:10 > 0:15:14but painted in a lovely heritage duck egg blue,
0:15:14 > 0:15:18or even light green, I think you could add £50 to that.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23For 20 Euros, just under £20 to you and me,
0:15:23 > 0:15:24thank you very much.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Making a profit may be the aim of the game,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29but to make money you have to spend money.
0:15:29 > 0:15:36With over £600 still in her pocket the First Lady is playing a dangerous game.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38So, with time rapidly ticking away,
0:15:38 > 0:15:44she really needs to get her skates on if she's going to get herself the best chance of winning this contest.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48- Monsieur?- Bonjour.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51Hello. You speak English. Great.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- A little bit.- I like this.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55- How much is this?- 180.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58That sounds quite a lot. I like it because it's tall.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00It's a good long one.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Folding door cabinet. Really nice.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Where did it come from?
0:16:06 > 0:16:07- From the taxman.- From the taxman?
0:16:07 > 0:16:10It's nice to get a bit back from the taxman,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12or at least have something useful.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16I notice there's a bit of damage just around here, just slightly.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- It's old as well, so... - What kind of age?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21I think 1950s.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25It's still good condition.
0:16:25 > 0:16:26It is. Very useful,
0:16:26 > 0:16:31and it's got a nice contemporary look that people like these days.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Popular these days.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35180.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37Have you got anything architectural?
0:16:37 > 0:16:40I have a mirror there which is popular at the moment.
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Everybody looks...
0:16:43 > 0:16:44for them.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47A window. Where's this from?
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- An old factory.- I like this.
0:16:49 > 0:16:54It's really, if you sand blast it or scrub it, polish it up,
0:16:54 > 0:16:58put glass in, mirrors in, it's wonderful.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01That would look lovely with mirrors in.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03How much is this?
0:17:03 > 0:17:04- 150.- 150?
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And I've got to get the work done.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10What deal can you do if I take the two, the window as well?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14It's a sunny day. I take them home for you.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16I know.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17250 is the best.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- 250?- It's a popular item.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- You spot the good things. - Can you go...
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I mean I would like 150 for the two.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27150? No, no, no.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34- I tell you what, 180.- The death?
0:17:34 > 0:17:36Yes.
0:17:36 > 0:17:40- 180.- OK.- That's fine. That's just fine. Here we go.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45So, at just under £170 Kate's more than doubled her spending.
0:17:45 > 0:17:50Elsewhere, Jonty seems to have fallen in love with, yes,
0:17:50 > 0:17:52you guessed it, another piece of furniture.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Can you imagine just how fantastic this would look re-covered?
0:17:57 > 0:18:01At the moment, it's covered in this, I suppose, the original fabric,
0:18:01 > 0:18:04it's a brushed cotton and it's a raised brushed cotton,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08because we've got the pattern that's raised on the fabric itself.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13I think, if this is the right price, I've saved the best till last.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Monsieur, how much is this chair?
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- 90 Euros.- 90?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- What's your best? Best price for me? - 80.- Oui, oui, oui.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:18:25 > 0:18:27So late 19th century, yeah.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28- 80 for you.- 80 Euros?
0:18:28 > 0:18:3080 Euros.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31You have a sale, sir. That's a buy.
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Thank you, let me pay you.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Yes, when the Hitman sets his heart on something,
0:18:37 > 0:18:38there's no stopping him.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44Perfect. I have saved the best till last.
0:18:44 > 0:18:4680 Euros! 80 Euros!
0:18:46 > 0:18:48That's just in excess of 70 quid.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Kate, you missed this one.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54As a consequence I'm definitely going to keep some money in my pocket,
0:18:54 > 0:18:57because this chair will look amazing restored.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59The dog won't even sit on it at the moment.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01It's going to look fantastic.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05# Let's get it on, baby... #
0:19:05 > 0:19:08And, as the Hitman carries his latest conquest into the sunset,
0:19:08 > 0:19:10it's time to bring down the curtain
0:19:10 > 0:19:12on the buying section of today's contest
0:19:12 > 0:19:17and find out who is our collectibles Casanova and who's unlucky in love.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Our experts began the day with £750 of their own money.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Jonty's search for furniture has seen him spend over £560,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32leaving almost £190 unspent.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Despite flashing her cash at the end of the day, Kate has only parted
0:19:36 > 0:19:38with just over £270,
0:19:38 > 0:19:42leaving over £475 in her kitty.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47Before they begin to make their way back across The Channel,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50curiosity gets the better of our duelling dealers.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53They decide to have a look at what their rival has bought.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- I've ended up with quite a lot in the end.- What have we got here?
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Well, I like my coffee set and the shelf that I'm going to paint.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03But the piece de resistance is my window.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07- What do you think?- Bit of bomb damage there you've got there, Kate.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11It is bomb damage. Did you buy that from Steptoe? I didn't see Steptoe and son here!
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I'm even more concerned with the teddy with the hole in his heart.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17I know. He's lost his growl.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Lost his stuffing. - What about your stuff, then?
0:20:20 > 0:20:23You like your Dralon, Jonty.
0:20:23 > 0:20:25That's all going to be changed.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27I can now reveal...
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- my tables without legs. - I like them actually. Fair dos.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Just a tad over £20.
0:20:33 > 0:20:37- That's pretty good.- And £3,000 of work later, they could look great!
0:20:37 > 0:20:39So, this is it. This is our collection.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43It's going to take us a whole week to pack this up in the van.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46But because the sun is shining I'm going to treat you to an ice cream.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- That sounds fantastic.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51So, as our guys cool off with an ice cream,
0:20:51 > 0:20:53let's look at what they've bought.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Kate purchased a child's deckchair,
0:20:56 > 0:20:59a German 1950s coffee set, a book case.
0:20:59 > 0:21:04A 1960s raffia clutch bag and leather postbag. A coat rack.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08A Belgian taxman's filing cabinet,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11a factory window and a cuddly toy.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15Jonty bagged himself two 19th century chairs ripe for restoration.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17A collection of kitsch,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20including a table lamp, ceiling lights and a vase.
0:21:20 > 0:21:23Two 19th century table ends
0:21:23 > 0:21:25and a 19th century armoire.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33So, after the fiercely-fought battle of Belgium,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35our two intrepid experts have returned home.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38The challenge is now to sell on their spoils of war
0:21:38 > 0:21:42and both Kate and Jonty will be pulling out all the stops
0:21:42 > 0:21:44to find the right buyers for all their items.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47They're working their way through their little black books,
0:21:47 > 0:21:50putting deals together on the phone and by e-mail.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54But until they've shaken on it, and the money has changed hands,
0:21:54 > 0:21:56no deal is truly sealed.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Determined to make a sale, Jonty is stepping back to a time
0:22:00 > 0:22:04when Demis Roussos so was number one, Abigail was having a party
0:22:04 > 0:22:06and fondue was all the rage.
0:22:13 > 0:22:17# And it's plain to see you were meant for me, yeah
0:22:17 > 0:22:21# I'm your toy Your 20th century boy... #
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Yes, Put Your Money's very own 20th century boy
0:22:25 > 0:22:29has lined up a potential buyer for his retro collection.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Amanda.- Hello.- I've got my goodies. - Come in.
0:22:33 > 0:22:37Remember, Jonty's collection of kitsch, including his vase,
0:22:37 > 0:22:41table lamp and five glass ceiling lights cost him just over £66.
0:22:41 > 0:22:45And...voila!
0:22:45 > 0:22:47The last. Saved the best till last.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49What do you think?
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Fantastic. Some great colours here.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Really retro green and orange. Like them.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56What do you think about this?
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I think these retro lights are absolutely fab.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01I think they're fabulous.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03I love the fact these colours have been brought in,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05the green and the orange,
0:23:05 > 0:23:08which are very strong for the retro thing. It's great.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13Price wise, we're looking at £30 for the larger glass light
0:23:13 > 0:23:16- and these smaller babies are £20 each.- OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19All right? So that's what I'm asking for those.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22- The big vase here. That is £20.- OK.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26- Right. So that's that price there. - Not too bad.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30As I brought this out of the box, I have a little confession to make.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33I'm very disappointed about the condition of the shade.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36It wasn't like that when I bought it.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39That's all happened in transit. That's what happens sometimes.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43You bring something back in transit and it's not the way it was.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44It's happened to me many times.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47It is battered, isn't it?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50It will be a tough one, the lampshade, I'm afraid.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54It looks like Jonty will have to use all his guile and ingenuity
0:23:54 > 0:23:55to sell his retro collection.
0:23:55 > 0:24:00The damage the lamp has suffered in transit is causing Amanda concern.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02Can the Hitman seal the deal?
0:24:03 > 0:24:07In Herefordshire Kate's research and some careful planning
0:24:07 > 0:24:09might be about to pay off.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Not only has she tracked down a potential buyer for the coat hooks,
0:24:13 > 0:24:16she's also given them a complete overhaul.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Hello, Sally. - Hello, Kate. How are you?
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- How are you?- All right, thanks.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23- The weather's on the turn out there. - Summer's gone, I think.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Let me put that down.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27What do you think? I've brought it to show you.
0:24:27 > 0:24:32- Very nice. Nice colour. - I've actually painted it myself.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34It came from a flea market in Belgium
0:24:34 > 0:24:36and it was this funny garish red colour,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38that you can see just on the back there.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40So not a very commercial colour.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45So I've painted it this lime white colour.
0:24:45 > 0:24:50- It's almost ivory.- It is. It's quite a good quality paint, so it's come up well. The finish is nice.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53These nice brackets are like the old cisterns, aren't they?
0:24:53 > 0:24:54I thought that was nice.
0:24:54 > 0:24:58I took those off to paint it, so they are exactly as they were.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02And the hooks have got a nice little bit of wear on them to give it a nice antiqued look.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04And a nice hat rack on the top.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06Yes, you put your coats on there and your hats on the top.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07Very nice detail.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10Is it the sort of thing you could sell?
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I think it would go with my garden bits at the back.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Well I'm looking for about £75. How does that sound?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Ooh.
0:25:20 > 0:25:25- I think I could do £70.- All right, brilliant. £70.- Thank you.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26So, a little bit of hard graft,
0:25:26 > 0:25:28but the paint brush has secured Kate a sale.
0:25:28 > 0:25:34£70 for the coat hooks gives her a profit of just over £50.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37That went really well. It's a nice little profit for me
0:25:37 > 0:25:39and it will look great in Sally's new shop.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42That's a good deal for the First Lady of antiques.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46Jonty though, is also working hard to secure a sale.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So, you couldn't sell that with the shade?
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Not easily.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I'm not sure that I can even really repair it.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Yes, it sound as though the Hitman has his work cut out here.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Kate, on the other hand, is aiming to seal a deal for the book case
0:26:03 > 0:26:06she paid just under £19 for.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Here we are, Sandra, here's the book case.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14Although today I think it has a contemporary look about it.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17You could use it for CDs or little knick knacks.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Whatever you like, really. What do you think?
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Yes, I think so. It's, you know, it's a practical piece.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25It's got all these little pigeonholes
0:26:25 > 0:26:27which you could use for whatever you wanted really.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30It's a bit of a funny looking thing.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33It is a bit strange.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Originally, perhaps, these little clips on the front
0:26:36 > 0:26:40would suggest there was a pole or curtain or a screen of some sort.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Without that, it takes on a bit more of a contemporary look really.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46It's almost sort of Heals in type.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49I agree with that. Entirely. Yes.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Is it something, do you think you could sell?
0:26:52 > 0:26:56I think so. What sort of price were you thinking of?
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Well, I'm looking for about £70.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Um, well I think that's a little bit high.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05How about £60?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- £60 is fine.- Is that all right?
0:27:07 > 0:27:08- Great.- Lovely.- Thank you very much.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11Thank you very much. If you'd like to come with me.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13And another one bites the dust.
0:27:13 > 0:27:14Kate's on blistering form today
0:27:14 > 0:27:18as the book case turns a profit of over £40.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21She's on a roll and is hoping to bag more money
0:27:21 > 0:27:25with the child's deckchair which cost her the grand sum
0:27:25 > 0:27:27of £5 at the Belgian market.
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Let me shut the door.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30It's nice and sunny out there.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32I can see the child's chairs already.
0:27:32 > 0:27:35Yes. Well. I'm afraid they're everywhere, Kate.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37I love that one.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43Will she be able to add her chair to her contact's collection and leave with some profit in her pocket?
0:27:43 > 0:27:46I've just got back from Brussels.
0:27:46 > 0:27:47It was a really good trip.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50You know what it's like, shopping at a flea market abroad,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53- you never know what you'll see. - No. Absolutely.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56So, I saw this little chair and I just thought, "Brenda"!
0:27:56 > 0:27:59I thought of your fantastic collection of little chairs.
0:27:59 > 0:28:01I mean, it's a bit of fun really.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04I don't know how much age it's got to it really.
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Probably not that old, 10, 20 years at the most.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Maybe more. '50s or '60s.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11- Maybe.- It's a fun thing, isn't it?
0:28:11 > 0:28:14It's a little deckchair. You could almost use it in the garden
0:28:14 > 0:28:16for the grandchildren if you like.
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I certainly haven't got one like that and I would love to have it.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21I think it's lovely.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25- I was thinking around £25. How does that sound?- Great.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Entirely reasonable.
0:28:27 > 0:28:30Excellent. I've brought it to the right place then?
0:28:30 > 0:28:32You certainly did.
0:28:32 > 0:28:34Thank you.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36That's more profit for Absolute Bliss.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It looks like she bought well in Belgium.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Jonty isn't a man to crack under pressure, though.
0:28:42 > 0:28:46His collection of kitsch might not all be in tip top condition
0:28:46 > 0:28:49but he's pulling out all the stops to sell it.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52That was £20. But I'm happy to take a tenner for that.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55So collectively, where are we then?
0:28:55 > 0:29:00Let's do that. That's two, four, six, eight. £110.
0:29:00 > 0:29:04£140 all together.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07All right. You've got a deal.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09The Hitman's back in the groove
0:29:09 > 0:29:12and back in today's competition
0:29:12 > 0:29:15with a very respectful profit from his collection of kitsch.
0:29:15 > 0:29:17That is amazing.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19I've sold all my kitsch items.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23Sold all those lamps, including the tangerine lamp.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26Even that was a teensy-weensy small profit.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29That's what I call groovy, baby.
0:29:29 > 0:29:35With both our experts desperate to win today's contest, the profits are rolling in.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Jonty has decided that instead of refurbishing his 19th-century table ends,
0:29:39 > 0:29:42he'll try and make a quick sale to one of his London contacts.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52In Hay-on-Wye, Miss Bliss is hoping to cash in on the leather post bag
0:29:52 > 0:29:55and raffia clutch bag that cost her just over £28.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Hi, Stuart. Hello, Kate, nice to see you.
0:30:05 > 0:30:07- And you, how are things?- Busy.
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Good. Great. Well, look,
0:30:08 > 0:30:12I've brought you something that might be just your cup of tea.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15- I know you sell quite a lot of leather bags.- Yes.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17This one actually came from Belgium.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20I bought it in a flea market over there.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22I thought it was a great size.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26Because you could fit a laptop in there, if you wanted to.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Or, at a push, you could use it as a little overnight bag.
0:30:29 > 0:30:33And inside I've noticed you've got, on a strap here,
0:30:33 > 0:30:36original ruitertassen.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38- Now I think that means it's German. - Yes, German.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41And it means literally a sort of rider's bag,
0:30:41 > 0:30:42or a courier's bag, if you like.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45So I think it's an old postbag for the mail.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Yes.- It's that sort of size.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50- Excellent condition.- It is isn't it?
0:30:50 > 0:30:54I've got this one as well, which is probably more Carol's cup of tea.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57- It would be, yes.- Fifties, I'd say.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59- A bit glitzy.- What kind of money are you looking for?
0:30:59 > 0:31:06Well, I'm looking for £30 on that. Because it's in such nice condition.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08And 60 for the leather bag.
0:31:08 > 0:31:10- I can do 30 on this one.- Yes?
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- I can't do 60 on that. - OK. What do you think, then?
0:31:14 > 0:31:15I can allow you 50 on that one.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17All right, I'm happy with that.
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Let's do 80 for the two.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- Shall we call it a deal then? - I think that's a deal. Brilliant.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25That's more than £50 profit for Kate,
0:31:25 > 0:31:28and she extends her lead even further when she sells
0:31:28 > 0:31:32her 60s coffee set, making a profit of over £35.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36£50? Yes, that's good for me.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38- OK, then.- Brilliant, thank you very much indeed.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42Hay-on-Wye has been a profitable stomping ground for Kate.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44In the capital, has the Hitman's gamble
0:31:44 > 0:31:48of trying to make a quick sale with his legless table ends paid off?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Hey-hey.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Quick sale. Talk about a quick sale.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55£90 I've just got for those pair of tables.
0:31:55 > 0:32:00That's roughly 70 quid profit, just like that. Kate, are you watching?
0:32:00 > 0:32:04Don't buy earrings, buy furniture, you just can't go wrong.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08Now remember, Mr Hearnden paid almost £24 for those table ends.
0:32:08 > 0:32:13Selling them for £90 has given his profit pot a much needed boost.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19It's been a roller coaster ride for Jonty today.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21He's still trailing in Kate's wake,
0:32:21 > 0:32:25and his position isn't improved when his large wardrobe
0:32:25 > 0:32:27sells at auction for just £250.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30At 250 I'm selling, all done? Sold at 250.
0:32:30 > 0:32:34With commission, the Hitman has lost almost £100 on that sale
0:32:34 > 0:32:35and at the moment
0:32:35 > 0:32:38there's no doubt about who's the selling sorcerer,
0:32:38 > 0:32:40and who's the lowly apprentice.
0:32:42 > 0:32:47The Hitman has sold £480 worth of antiques but, having taken a big
0:32:47 > 0:32:52loss on the wardrobe, he's got just over £40 of profit in his kitty.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Kate, on the other hand, is setting a blistering pace.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58She's sold items totalling almost £300
0:32:58 > 0:33:01and has made profits of just over £200.
0:33:03 > 0:33:05So, as we enter the final furlong of today's challenge,
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Kate is out in front and has three items left to sell.
0:33:09 > 0:33:13But Jonty has got his two fabulous chairs left, so all is not lost
0:33:13 > 0:33:18as our profit hunting pair hit the phones in search of their next deal.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23- Hi, is that Rita?- Yes, it is. - Rita, it's Jonty here.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Yeah, I know you've got all sorts of goodies, yeah. I know.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35# ..Leave me hanging on the telephone... #
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Hi, Lynne, it's Jonty calling.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40# ..Don't leave me hanging... #
0:33:40 > 0:33:42See you soon. Bye.
0:33:45 > 0:33:49The Hitman and Miss Bliss might be putting together
0:33:49 > 0:33:50more deals on the phone,
0:33:50 > 0:33:53but until money has changed hands, no deal is secure.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55After talking to a potential buyer,
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Kate thinks she might have found a home for Pierre the bear,
0:33:59 > 0:34:00who cost her just £19.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03Will his new board and lodgings give her a profit?
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Well, Pierre, you're in very distinguished company.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Sue, this is just a mind blowing collection.
0:34:11 > 0:34:12How many have you got in total?
0:34:12 > 0:34:16Altogether I've got about 2,500.
0:34:16 > 0:34:21- But that includes more modern ones right back to older ones.- Right.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Well, Pierre,
0:34:23 > 0:34:26I think you're in very distinguished company,
0:34:26 > 0:34:29but I'm not sure you're quite in this league, old boy.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Is he a bear that you'd want in your collection?
0:34:32 > 0:34:37- Well, I think that I've fallen in love with Pierre.- OK.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Yes, the finer details of this adoption
0:34:39 > 0:34:41still need to be ironed out.
0:34:41 > 0:34:47But, with Kate's contact losing her heart to Pierre the bear, the pressure is building on the Hitman.
0:34:47 > 0:34:53Jonty, though, thrives under pressure, and he's hoping one of his favourite restorers will be able
0:34:53 > 0:34:58to breathe new life into his two chairs and give him a good price for the work that's needed.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02Would £100 be OK?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05That'll be fine for you. I'll get on with them for you.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Simon, you're a star.- We'll sort them out today, if we can.
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Really? I can't wait to see them transformed.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14- Because they're going to be fabulous. Wonderful. Great, mate. See you later.- God bless.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17As he's on a mission to raise as much money as possible for charity,
0:35:17 > 0:35:21Mr H has got a great deal out of Simon to re-cover his chairs.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24But he's trailing in his rival's wake.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Kate is trying to seal a deal for Pierre the bear.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31Can she agree a price with his potential new owner?
0:35:31 > 0:35:33So what do you think?
0:35:33 > 0:35:36I'd like to offer you £45.
0:35:36 > 0:35:39That sounds great. You're a very lucky bear, Pierre.
0:35:39 > 0:35:44But, the bears have been thinking about things.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47- And they've emptied their money box. - Right.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50And they put it in a purse ready.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54And they would like to add £5 more.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- £5 more, Pierre.- For you, Pierre.
0:35:57 > 0:35:58What do you say, Pierre?
0:35:58 > 0:36:03Don't tell me that I don't bring you to the best places. Thank you, Sue.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06Another sale, and more money for Kate.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Sue gave her £45 for Pierre,
0:36:08 > 0:36:10and as she's on a quest to raise as
0:36:10 > 0:36:14much money as possible for charity, the bears gave her an extra fiver.
0:36:14 > 0:36:15Aah.
0:36:15 > 0:36:18Well, I don't think Pierre could be happier.
0:36:18 > 0:36:21Sue seemed delighted, and I've got a tidy profit.
0:36:21 > 0:36:23But one thing is for certain,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I think he's going to be quite cosy in there.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31So, with Pierre luxuriating in his new home,
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Kate can press on with her selling.
0:36:33 > 0:36:39She's taken her factory window to a salvage yard and is hoping to reclaim a substantial profit.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I don't think it's in too bad condition. No cracks.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47A little bit of marks from the casting,
0:36:47 > 0:36:50but I don't think it's actually corrosion.
0:36:50 > 0:36:53I think it's just casting marks.
0:36:53 > 0:36:57Right. So, although it's rusted, it's not cracked or anything?
0:36:57 > 0:36:59No, it's a good raw condition, as it were.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02So is this something you think you could sell?
0:37:02 > 0:37:05I might be able to do something with it, yes.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08It all depends on money, that's the bottom line.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Well, I'm looking for about 150.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Bit too much, really, for us.
0:37:16 > 0:37:20- Because of the cost of having it blasted, really.- Right, sure.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Kate is doing her level best to strike a deal for her window.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27In the capital, there's good news for Jonty about his chairs.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31- Hello?- Hello, Jonty, it's Simon, how are you?
0:37:31 > 0:37:34Simon the magician! How are you?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I'm very good. Some news.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39I've finished one of the chairs you got in Belgium.
0:37:39 > 0:37:40Yes?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43The printed linen. But I've had a bit of interest on it,
0:37:43 > 0:37:47is there any chance you can come over and sell it to the fella?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50Absolutely, well done. Imminently?
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Yes, whenever you like.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57- If you could pop over and we could do that for you.- Fantastic.
0:37:57 > 0:37:59I love you, I love you, I love you.
0:37:59 > 0:38:01I know you do.
0:38:01 > 0:38:03OK, mate. Thanks so much.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- See you when you can.- OK, bye.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Brilliant.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10Yes, this is good news for Jonty.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13He's miles behind in today's competition
0:38:13 > 0:38:18and his chances of winning rest on his ability to get a fabulous profit on his two chairs.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23In Herefordshire, Kate is closing in on yet another deal.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26OK. What could you do?
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- £100? - No, I need a bit more than that.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33What about I meet you in the middle, say 125?
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Yes, go on then. - Yes? Happy with that?
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Thank you very much indeed.- Deal.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Kate was a long way out of her comfort zone buying that reclaimed window,
0:38:42 > 0:38:46but our plucky expert has still managed
0:38:46 > 0:38:48to turn a profit of more than £30.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Well I've sold my window.
0:38:49 > 0:38:53It hasn't given me my biggest profit, but it's still a profit.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56And you never know, it might just make the difference against Jonty.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59Well, Kate's right. Every penny counts.
0:38:59 > 0:39:02But it's not all good news for Miss Bliss because,
0:39:02 > 0:39:03despite her best efforts,
0:39:03 > 0:39:07she's had to sell her filing cabinet for a loss of more than £25.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10On the positive side, though, she's sold all her items,
0:39:11 > 0:39:13and is way out in front of the Hitman,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15whose hopes rest on his two chairs.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Jonty paid just over £140 for the chairs in Belgium,
0:39:19 > 0:39:23and has parted with another £100 to have them re-covered.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26If he's going to win, he needs to make a huge profit.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30Luckily, he's got a potential buyer for the recovered green chair,
0:39:30 > 0:39:33and they've sent someone to buy it on their behalf.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35As long as the price is right.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37- Stuart, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, Jon.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41Simon gave me a call and told me you were interested in this lovely chair.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42I am indeed.
0:39:42 > 0:39:47What do you think? I think it's fantastic now it's been covered in this beautiful linen.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I understand that all of the pattern on this chair is hand printed.
0:39:50 > 0:39:53It looks like it's been well upholstered. A good shape.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56I actually bought this chair from a market in Belgium,
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- hence the reason why it's got chocolate stains.- Marvellous.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I like the shape. It's got a good firm seat.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Nice deep seat as well.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09That will do the job.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13So, the price for the chair is 375, and that's not £3.75.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17Well, Jonty is aiming high. But, if he wants to beat Kate, he needs to.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20We'll find out very shortly if he was able to sell his chairs
0:40:20 > 0:40:25for a big enough profit, because it's time to reveal who is today's
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30Remember, both our canny competitors
0:40:30 > 0:40:33could spend up to £750 of their own money.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38Jonty spent just over £560 on antiques, plus a further £100
0:40:38 > 0:40:45to have his chairs re-upholstered, making a total spend of over £660.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48Kate Absolute Bliss spent a little over £270
0:40:48 > 0:40:51on her foray into the European market.
0:40:52 > 0:40:54It's been a fierce battle.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57And to reveal the final result of today's contest,
0:40:57 > 0:41:01we've called Miss Bliss and Mr H to the bright lights of London.
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Hi, Jonty. - Kate. Fresh from the battlefield.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- Yes.- How was it for you?
0:41:06 > 0:41:08- Do you know, pretty difficult. - Was it?
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Yeah. Because it was so contained,
0:41:10 > 0:41:13and you had to really buy what was there
0:41:13 > 0:41:16and I didn't really take a fancy to much until quite late on.
0:41:16 > 0:41:22Right. There was a bit of a mixed bag there, but you're never really quite sure with markets like that.
0:41:22 > 0:41:23And the whole thing in Euros,
0:41:23 > 0:41:27my maths is hopeless, so there was a sort of added difficulty.
0:41:27 > 0:41:28Yes. And the language.
0:41:28 > 0:41:33Right. Time to find out what we made, or how little we made!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Ready?- This was a tricky one.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37- After three. One, two, three...- Go!
0:41:39 > 0:41:43Look at that. That's very good, Jonty. I think.
0:41:43 > 0:41:46That's not too bad.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49We've done pretty well, both of us, actually.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53- Another hammering. - It looks like it's lunch on me again.
0:41:53 > 0:41:56- Kate, you're becoming an expensive girl.- This is all right, isn't it?
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Well, that's an incredible result. And what a turnaround!
0:42:00 > 0:42:03Kate set the early pace, and was out right in front to the death.
0:42:03 > 0:42:08So how on earth did Jonty almost double Kate's total profit?
0:42:08 > 0:42:10I can do an extra £20.
0:42:10 > 0:42:13Go on then. You've got a sale.
0:42:13 > 0:42:19Jonty sold his re-covered green chair for a whopping £320
0:42:19 > 0:42:22and his red chair for another £350,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26giving him a massive profit of almost £430.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Kate, big commiserations.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31Our challenge is very much The Beauty And The Beast.
0:42:31 > 0:42:32I'm afraid the beast won today.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36I am quite disappointed that I've lost today, but I'm still really
0:42:36 > 0:42:41pleased that I've managed to raise a good couple of hundred pounds for my good cause.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46And pleased you should be, Kate, as you've both raised fabulous amounts for your chosen charities.
0:42:46 > 0:42:52The money that I've just raised today will all go to Helen & Douglas House,
0:42:52 > 0:42:57which is a children and young adults' hospice, based in Oxford.
0:42:57 > 0:43:00I'm raising money for the Alzheimer's Society in Herefordshire.
0:43:00 > 0:43:02So it's victory for the Hitman,
0:43:02 > 0:43:06but hold on to your hats because tomorrow Kate will be looking
0:43:06 > 0:43:11to wrestle the crown away from Jonty when our profit hunting pair will be locking horns again
0:43:11 > 0:43:12at a British antiques market.
0:43:14 > 0:43:20Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who's going to make the biggest profit of all? Me.
0:43:20 > 0:43:24Now, I'm hoping that this might prove a bit of a nightmare for Jonty.
0:43:24 > 0:43:26I've spotted an antiques expert in distress...
0:43:28 > 0:43:30and it's Kate!
