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