0:00:02 > 0:00:05We've all seen them on TV, but how will the country's
0:00:05 > 0:00:09favourite antiques experts fare when they're challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Excellent!
0:00:11 > 0:00:14He who laughs last, laughs loudest.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will recreate
0:00:19 > 0:00:22some of their real-life deals as they go head-to-head
0:00:22 > 0:00:27and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Purchase of the week!
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Fantastic. I'm thrilled with that.
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 > 0:01:09Today's experts are the suave and sophisticated
0:01:09 > 0:01:14Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden and "Queen of Antiques", Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18The daughter of an auctioneer, Kate has been surrounded by antiques all her life.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23So it's hardly surprising that she's gone on to become a respected independent valuer,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27agent and broker, with over a decade of experience under her belt.
0:01:27 > 0:01:30I think Jonty and I are quite well matched, actually.
0:01:30 > 0:01:35He's quite the gent, but he's also quite a dark horse. And I think he's got a very competitive streak.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38So I've had to pull my finger out a bit.
0:01:38 > 0:01:44Kate's title of Queen of Antiques comes from dispensing expert advice on Bargain Hunt and Flog It.
0:01:44 > 0:01:4655?
0:01:46 > 0:01:4850 is better for me.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51Kate's opponent might not have grown up in the antiques world,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54but he's got over 30 years of experience in the trade.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Kate Bliss is a wily, canny thing.
0:01:57 > 0:02:02So I think the competition is going to be rather stiff this time around.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05A firm favourite with the housewives, this antiques hunter
0:02:05 > 0:02:08can regularly be found searching for Cash In The Attic.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10So, we have our experts.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13They have the contacts and a determination to win.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It's now time for us to find out the aim of today's game.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18- Good morning.- Nice jacket.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20You're a lady of taste, you've got one yourself.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23I thought brown was more my colour, what do you think?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25It's good. I've got a golden envelope for you.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- That's for you.- Shall I open this?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30- Yeah, you go first. - Here we go, wait for this.
0:02:30 > 0:02:37"Jonty and Kate, your challenge today is to spend £750 of your own money on antiques.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41"You must then resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- "The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."- Sounds tricky.
0:02:44 > 0:02:52This one says, "Today you must buy all your antiques from an antiques fair."
0:02:52 > 0:02:56- You know your way around fairs, don't you?- Yes, I've had a few fairs in my time(!)
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Have you now?! Well, I've heard there's quite a big one round here.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- Really?- Antiques fair, that is. - Let's go for it.- That way?
0:03:02 > 0:03:04That way.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Pretty much everybody that Kate and Jonty try to do deals with
0:03:10 > 0:03:14will be aware that they're on a mission to raise as much money as possible for charity.
0:03:14 > 0:03:18Our experts will be doing everything to persuade people to give them
0:03:18 > 0:03:24the best possible prices when they try to buy and sell the items they hope will drive them to victory.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29The Hitman and his rival will be doing battle
0:03:29 > 0:03:32at the Newark Antiques Fair, on the banks of the River Trent.
0:03:32 > 0:03:39Jonty has decided to focus his energies on finding potentially profitable pieces of furniture.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Miss Bliss will be hunting for pieces with a value of less than £250.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50I've had a bit of a look round,
0:03:50 > 0:03:53but already I've spotted these, which I'm really excited about.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57What we've got here is a set of six silver napkin rings.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The Victorians were the first to fold napkins for the table.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03And, of course, you needed a ring to hold it in place.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And here, we have one of six.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Originally, they were made in sets
0:04:09 > 0:04:11of typically six, just like we have here.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15But they were usually engraved with numbers, individually,
0:04:15 > 0:04:19to show they were part of a set. Or with monograms or initials.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Or even a family crest. Now the nice thing about this set
0:04:23 > 0:04:26is that they are all quite nice and plain.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29They're not too light.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32A key thing to look for with silver is the weight of silver.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34And the other thing is the hallmark, of course.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38Dated for 1935 and tested in London,
0:04:38 > 0:04:41which is the little leopard's head mark.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43But we have another symbol,
0:04:43 > 0:04:48which only appears between the years of 1934 and '35.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52And that's a double crowned head, the symbol for
0:04:52 > 0:04:56the Silver Jubilee of George V, who was on the throne at the time.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59So, we know exactly when these were made.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01And I think I'm going to snap them up.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09So, Miss Bliss getting down to the serious business of haggling.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12The Hitman has headed to a stall of garden furniture.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15And one piece in particular has caught his eye.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18I've really been taken by this
0:05:18 > 0:05:23quite simple, stylish bird bath.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27Round the top of the bowl here are these moulded oak leaves.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31I say moulded, these are not carved, because a piece of furniture
0:05:31 > 0:05:35like this is actually made of reconstituted stone.
0:05:35 > 0:05:38So, that's ground up pieces of stone pressed into a mould,
0:05:38 > 0:05:42and that's the reason why you get this effect round the top here.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Down below, we've got this balustrade of a base.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47So it's almost like an urn down at the bottom.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50And the plinth has got real age to it.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52Look at the wear, look at the ageing.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57For goodness sake, there's a bit of moss growing, down at the bottom there.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03I would suspect that this item is post Second World War, 1950s, maybe even 1960s.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06But it's the simplicity that I like.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08So it's all down to a question of price.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11Because a little garden ornament like this could be sold
0:06:11 > 0:06:13to an awful lot of people. I'll go and check it out.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16It looks like Jonty splash some of his cash on the bird bath.
0:06:16 > 0:06:22Kate has completed her first deal and has spent £80 on the set of silver napkin rings.
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Well, that's my first buy of the day.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29And I'm pleased with those.
0:06:30 > 0:06:34So, Kate's up and running, but what about Jonty and his bird bath?
0:06:34 > 0:06:36That was the smallest haggle in history.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40I eventually got it for £110.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43She started off at £120, she wasn't going to take any less than that.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47So, I finally bought it at that price,
0:06:47 > 0:06:49but I'm hoping that, to the right person,
0:06:49 > 0:06:54I'm going to double my money. So, hopefully, £200 in the pot.
0:06:54 > 0:06:59I have no idea who that buyer is going to be, but I still love it.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03So, on a wing and a prayer, The Hitman snapped up the bird bath.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08With pride at stake, he's taking this contest very seriously indeed.
0:07:08 > 0:07:14Croquet was very popular in this country, it became popular in the 17th century.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16And the interesting part about the game is,
0:07:16 > 0:07:22it became popular not so much because you could play outdoors, but it was an equality game.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26Men and women could play with equal talent,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29because it is a game that you don't need strength to play.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31It's still incredibly popular today.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Of course, it's a summer pastime.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37But there's always a market for sets like this.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Now, I paid £160 for this set.
0:07:41 > 0:07:48So I'm hoping that I can sell this set for in excess of £200.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50Kate, do you fancy a game?
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Because I'm very good at croquet.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01So, Jonty thinks he's on to a winner with the croquet set.
0:08:01 > 0:08:05Elsewhere, his rival has given in to temptation.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07MUSIC: "Material Girl" by Madonna
0:08:16 > 0:08:21With so many sparkly things on offer, a girl has got to go home with a piece of jewellery, hasn't she?
0:08:21 > 0:08:24And look what I've just found. I think it's beautiful.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27It's Edwardian. It's made of gold,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31with a lovely teardrop-shaped amethyst in the centre and then
0:08:31 > 0:08:35a little surround of seed pearls. Now, amethyst was a type of quartz
0:08:35 > 0:08:39and its value lies in the way the stone is cut, the size of it,
0:08:39 > 0:08:43but also the way that the colour is saturated throughout the stone.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46And a good little key is to look for the way
0:08:46 > 0:08:50the deep purple saturates right through to the edge of the stone.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53And this one is a really deep, rich colour, all the way through.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Now, the word amethyst actually comes from
0:08:56 > 0:08:59the Greek, "amethystos", which means sober.
0:08:59 > 0:09:03And the Greeks believed that, if you wore an amethyst,
0:09:03 > 0:09:07it would stop you becoming intoxicated if you were drinking strong liquor.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11It's also believed to instil you with a sense of peace and calm and people
0:09:11 > 0:09:14used to place them under their pillows to give them sweet dreams.
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Now, I'm hoping that this might prove a bit of a nightmare for Jonty.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
0:09:21 > 0:09:27I paid £150 for this piece and I still think I could get
0:09:27 > 0:09:31over 200 by selling it to a top dealer, not far from where I live.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34At least mine will fit in my pocket.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I bet that Jonty is buying big lumps of furniture.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40How right you are, Miss Bliss.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45It may have taken him a while, but it was only a matter of time before The Hitman found himself a sofa.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50When it comes to buying antiques, these two can read each other like a pair of vintage books.
0:09:50 > 0:09:56I can only assume that Kate is somewhere out there in the market frantically trying to find bargains,
0:09:56 > 0:10:02but I'm nice and relaxed, because I've bought myself this very comfortable two-seater sofa
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and this very pretty little chair here.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Now the reasons why I bought them, it's not because they look fantastic at the moment.
0:10:11 > 0:10:16This sofa, particularly, needs a re-covery, the fabric is in very poor condition.
0:10:16 > 0:10:21And this chair here not only needs a re-covery, but needs re-upholstering, as well.
0:10:21 > 0:10:26So there's quite a bit of work to be done on both of these upholstered pieces.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And the reason why I bought this is because of the shape.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32It's got these lovely scroll arms
0:10:32 > 0:10:35and, particularly, these outswept legs.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38The most important thing when you're buying upholstery
0:10:38 > 0:10:42is to check whether the chair itself is comfortable.
0:10:42 > 0:10:48And, yes it is. With this lovely scroll back and these scroll arms, not only do you have the comfort
0:10:48 > 0:10:51factor there, but you also have a stylish look.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Whereas this little fella here, I think this is great.
0:10:55 > 0:10:58We've got a serpentine front to the seat here.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01We've got these scroll arms and these turned legs.
0:11:01 > 0:11:07Now just have a look at how chairs like this were upholstered.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Inside here, you've got dried grass. It's straw in here.
0:11:11 > 0:11:13This straw is 100 years old.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18And above that is a layer of horse hair. It's amazing.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22So all of this stuffing in here is original.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26The turning on the leg here makes this chair about 100 years old, as well.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29So it's more 19th century, than early 20th century.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33So chairs like this we call Napoleon Trois - Napoleon III chairs.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36He was on the throne at the time in France.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39So, these two chairs are French.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Fabulous, but I've got a bit of work to do.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45But once they're transformed, they're going to look absolutely stunning.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48So, I'm really very, very pleased.
0:11:48 > 0:11:55Price? Well, I paid £220 for the sofa and, wait for this,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57£130 for this frame.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00It's an absolute bargain.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04And it's comfy, too.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09That's a huge purchase for The Hitman.
0:12:09 > 0:12:15With just £750 to play with, he'll need to keep back some of his cash for the repairs that will be needed.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18His rival, though, has secured another purchase.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21This is a little bit of fun, have a look at this.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23This is an Edwardian timepiece.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Dating from the early 20th century, it's made of turned mahogany,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29with a lovely little pedestal base
0:12:29 > 0:12:33and a lovely grain and patina on the top here.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35The dial is enamelled and the movement
0:12:35 > 0:12:39is just a basic French movement, typical of this sort of sized clock.
0:12:39 > 0:12:44It doesn't have an alarm or a strike, but the workings of it,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47the balance escapement and wheel, are typical,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51because it doesn't need a pendulum to keep it going.
0:12:51 > 0:12:57And that's for a very good reason because it's got a little secret.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01If I take the top off and I take the bottom off,
0:13:01 > 0:13:04you can see that it all folds down for travelling.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08And so it will actually keep working while it's on the move,
0:13:08 > 0:13:11just like a watch. The other thing which
0:13:11 > 0:13:16the stallholder told me was that he bought it because he's a golfer.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18And he thinks, when it's all back together,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21it looks a little bit like a golf ball sitting on a tee.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24So you never know, I might find a golfer who falls in love with it.
0:13:24 > 0:13:30Well, I paid just £30 for this and I'm hoping I might double my money.
0:13:30 > 0:13:31CLOCK TICKING
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Time is ticking. Better get on.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Yes, time waits for no man or woman. And, with both our experts bagging
0:13:39 > 0:13:45items left, right and centre, it's time to find out who's leading the way and who is lagging behind.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Now, remember that our experts began with up to £750
0:13:52 > 0:13:54of their own money at their disposal.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59So far Jonty has parted company with £620 for four items,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02which leaves him with just £130 still to spend.
0:14:02 > 0:14:07Kate has only bought three items and has spent just £260,
0:14:07 > 0:14:11which means that she still has £490 in her kitty.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Miss Bliss may be lagging behind in the buying stakes
0:14:15 > 0:14:19but the First Lady of Antiques is a fierce competitor,
0:14:19 > 0:14:22and it looks like the fightback might be just about to start.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26Now, I have just secured myself the most fantastic deal.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29I've used all my powers of persuasion and knowledge
0:14:29 > 0:14:32and I have bought...a little box.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37Well, no. There just happens to be a lovely pair of earrings inside.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Now, I have fallen hopelessly in love with these.
0:14:41 > 0:14:47Each one is set with four square-cut, or trap-cut, as they're known, sapphires.
0:14:47 > 0:14:52And then, surrounded in the white gold, are brilliant cut diamonds.
0:14:52 > 0:14:57Now, the word sapphire comes from the Latin "sapphirus", which does mean blue.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59And most people think sapphires have to be blue.
0:14:59 > 0:15:04But in fact, you can get them in fancy pink or even yellow colours.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07But the blue ones come in various different shades.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11The Ceylon, or Sri Lankan sapphire, is often a lovely cornflower blue,
0:15:11 > 0:15:13as opposed to a deep jet or inky blue.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16And the lighter blue ones that we've got here
0:15:16 > 0:15:21are much more commercial these days, particularly in this sort of setting.
0:15:21 > 0:15:24Because this is very much Art Deco in style.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27It's very square, geometric in design.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31Echoed in the very square-cut stones in the centre.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36These are actually modern, but the style, Art Deco, is very commercial.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39They are rather nice, aren't they?
0:15:39 > 0:15:41Well, they were priced at 275.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46I've managed to buy them for just over £200. £210.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51But I'm still thinking, I might have to keep them for myself.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53Now, focus, Miss Bliss.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55Those earrings are not for you.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00£210 might not seem as if it fits in with the strategy of being tight
0:16:00 > 0:16:04with the purse strings, but Kate did knock £65 off the asking price.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Elsewhere, The Hitman has struck again...
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Look at this. It's my lovely mirror.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13It's pretty, it's mahogany inlay, and I'm a big fan of inlay.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15But this is Dutch,
0:16:15 > 0:16:19and this mirror would have been made about 150 years ago.
0:16:19 > 0:16:23Inlay of this style was very popular in Holland in the 18th and 19th century.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27If you look closely, you can see that it's all stylised flower heads.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29The mirror frame needs a bit of repair.
0:16:29 > 0:16:34We've got a few chips up here, a few breaks, but I'm not too worried about that,
0:16:34 > 0:16:38because a mirror like this can just go straight on to somebody's wall.
0:16:38 > 0:16:42So, in a smaller room, maybe a bedroom, even a downstairs space,
0:16:42 > 0:16:47to hang a mirror like this, there's always room for something like this. I think it's so, so pretty.
0:16:47 > 0:16:51The glass itself, the mirror glass, you can tell is 100 years old,
0:16:51 > 0:16:54because it's got that almost pitted look to it.
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Have a look at this corner here. It's still rather faded.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01So I've got it for £130.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's going to make the biggest profit of all?
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Me.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Yes, he might be predicting a fairy-tale ending for himself,
0:17:11 > 0:17:16but with plenty of money left in her kitty, our very own Snow White is far from finished.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Though with Jonty all spent up, the pressure is most definitely on.
0:17:23 > 0:17:27I think I've spotted an antiques expert in distress.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30And it's Kate!
0:17:32 > 0:17:36As Captain Hearnden has pointed out, Kate is indeed in trouble and is frantically searching
0:17:36 > 0:17:39for hidden treasures on which to spend her cash.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43After putting in some serious legwork though,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45she finally finds what she's looking for
0:17:45 > 0:17:49and picks up two decanter sets for £125.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53You know, when your luck's out and you're trawling round a fair
0:17:53 > 0:17:58trying to find something at the right price and your feet are hurting, don't be put off.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02That's how exactly I was just about five minutes ago.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06And then, suddenly, out of the blue, I find these two crackers on the same stall.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10And what we've got here are two sets of decanters.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14And the decanter is still quite a commercial object today.
0:18:14 > 0:18:20Its history goes way, way back to Roman times, when wine was stored in great big amphora vases.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25But it was then decanted into this sort of vessel, to serve it easily at the table.
0:18:25 > 0:18:27But they're also used for another purpose.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31And that's because a lot of wine vases got a lot of sediment in them.
0:18:31 > 0:18:36And the liquid had to be decanted to get rid of the sediment in the bottle.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42And so only the clear, best liquid was put into the decanter to be used at the table.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Although they look similar, they are very different.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48We've got here a period piece.
0:18:48 > 0:18:4919th century.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52A lovely mahogany box, with brass banding.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55And the decanters inside are the original pair.
0:18:55 > 0:19:01The thing I like about these is, you've got a lovely serrated edge to the decanter.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05You've got the original stopper, now that's always worth looking for.
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Check that it fits properly and that it isn't chipped underneath.
0:19:10 > 0:19:15But also you've got a lovely little pourer moulded into the rim here.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21A little bit of damage on this one, but you can't have everything, can you? So there we go.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23A lovely set, in its box.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27This one is a lovely period box.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33In fact, we've got a brass cartouche on the top inscribed "1921, 1931".
0:19:33 > 0:19:35So we can date that exactly.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39Inside this one, you have a pair of decanters.
0:19:39 > 0:19:45But then, just when you think you've got a really nice piece, it gets even better.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50You've got a lovely sliding tray, which fits beautifully inside there,
0:19:50 > 0:19:56with a set of four tumblers to go with it. £125 for the two.
0:19:56 > 0:20:01Well, I reckon I could get £100 for each of those. Fingers crossed.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04Well, Jonty, it just seems you're not going to the right places.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08More fighting talk from the First Lady.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12That brings us to the end of today's bout between our two antique heavyweights.
0:20:12 > 0:20:18And it's now time to find out who was floating like a butterfly and who has been stung by a bee.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden came out fighting from the off
0:20:22 > 0:20:27and has spent every penny of his £750 kitty on five items.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30After a tough first round Kate "Absolute" Bliss
0:20:30 > 0:20:35got into the fight, spending £595 on six items,
0:20:35 > 0:20:39leaving her with £155 in her kitty.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43Remember that buying is only half the battle.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Before our experts head home to try and make a profit from their purchases,
0:20:47 > 0:20:50they just can't resist taking a peek at each other's wares.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- So how was your day? - Good. What have you got there?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Look at this, look at this. I love these. What do you think?
0:20:58 > 0:21:00Wouldn't suit me.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Not your colour? Hey, go with the jacket!
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- No, no, no, no, no. Oh, Kate?- Yes?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08- More mahogany?- Well, I've got a bit of a decanter thing going on here.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10But this is good, have a look.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14- Two decanters, but also, you get glasses.- They're fun.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18- What do you think? - If you get stopped for drinking and driving, don't blame me.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20I'm not going to touch it! What about this?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- I do like the croquet set. - Yes, that's very nice. - What's with the chair, then?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26There's a family of mice live in here.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You do like a project don't you, Jonty?
0:21:28 > 0:21:32- Yes, this is a big project. - You've got your work cut out. - Have you got a saw?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37- What, for the sofa?- I've got to get that in my car. Do you fancy giving me a hand in with it?
0:21:37 > 0:21:39I think I'm going to be here some time.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42There's a really nice man over there who I'm sure will give you a hand.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45- I've got to go. Sorry, bye!- Bye.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53So, assuming that Jonty manages to get them home, he'll be selling...
0:21:53 > 0:21:54A bird bath.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57A croquet set.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01A 19th-century, two-seater sofa.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03A Napoleon Trois armchair.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06And a mahogany inlaid mirror.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08Kate will be selling...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10A set of six silver napkin rings.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13An Edwardian amethyst pendant.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16A mahogany Edwardian timepiece.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20Art Deco-styled sapphire and diamond earrings.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23A 19th-century decanter set
0:22:23 > 0:22:26and an early 20th-century decanter set.
0:22:29 > 0:22:34Having gone head-to-head at the Newark Antiques Fair, Kate and Jonty make their way home
0:22:34 > 0:22:37to ready themselves for the second part of today's challenge.
0:22:37 > 0:22:42They now have to sell all their items and make as much profit as they can.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47Our experts can sell their wares to whoever and wherever they choose.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50The winner will be the one who makes the biggest profit.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53They'll both be pulling out all the stops to try and find
0:22:53 > 0:22:56the right buyers, and they are working their way
0:22:56 > 0:23:00through their little black books, putting deals together.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05But, until they've shaken on it and money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09With the pressure on to sell their wares, both Kate and Jonty
0:23:09 > 0:23:11are desperate to secure profitable sales.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17In the Big Smoke, The Hitman is calling in a favour.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20His 19th-century two-seat sofa is in dire need of an overhaul.
0:23:20 > 0:23:26But, having spent all his cash, this favour could cost him a lot more than he was bargaining for.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30There she is, Simon. What do you reckon? My little beauty.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33How much do you want to spend on it?
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I've got no money at all to spend on this.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37Not a penny. I'm calling in a huge favour.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39Why are you doing this to me now?
0:23:41 > 0:23:45- I see.- I know that you're a very generous man.- Oh, fine(!)
0:23:45 > 0:23:49OK, if I'm going to do this, then you're going to have to do something for me.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51That's fine. Sounds ominous.
0:23:51 > 0:23:55I'll pick you out some dirty, horrible chair and I'll make you work for a living.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Thank you very much. Is it in there?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Come on, I'll show you.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03The good news is that Jonty's getting his sofa restored.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09The bad news, for Jonty, is that in return he's got to get his hands dirty.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12So, you've got to take all the old studs out.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14The stained, horrible fabric.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16All the inside. Don't know what you'll find.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- I'm going to be here for a week? - You'll be here for a little while.
0:24:19 > 0:24:22- I'll give you a call when I've finished.- See you later.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24Are you off to go and look after my sofa?
0:24:24 > 0:24:26- I am indeed.- OK, good.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Now, which one is it? This one here.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31This one here. Let's have a look at this.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35- # Well, I got work to do - I got work to do
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- # Everybody's got work to do - I got work to do... #
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Look at that. One nail, three million to go.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Well, Simon might be breathing new life into Jonty's sofa,
0:24:48 > 0:24:51but Miss Bliss is determined to seal a deal and bank some profit.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56The owner of a local antiques centre is interested in her silver napkin rings,
0:24:56 > 0:25:01but will he be prepared to pay more than the £80 Kate paid for them?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I'm looking for 150.
0:25:05 > 0:25:09Erm...it's about its money, really. If we could do 130, then we're away.
0:25:09 > 0:25:11There's got to be a little bit in it for me.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14- Go on, then. 130? - Yes. I'll have them for that.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17- I'm happy with that. - Fancy a cup of tea and a catch up?
0:25:17 > 0:25:18Yeah, that would be good.
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- I'll put the kettle on. - Great, let's have a brew.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25A cup of tea and a £50 profit, that's a good deal for Kate.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30In London, her rival is making a bit of a meal of his restoration job.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33Aargh! Look at that!
0:25:33 > 0:25:37I think I'll stick to being an antique dealer. Eugh.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40This is just filthy work, mate.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Now you know how we make a living. That's not too bad.
0:25:43 > 0:25:45- Would you give me a job?- No.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Now, look, I've stuck to my word, OK?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- How is my sofa getting on?- The sofa, I'd better get on with it now.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56You can come back and get it later on.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I need to pick it up later, because I'm in a competition.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I've got serious work to do, profits to make.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03- We'll make you some money. - See you later.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09So, having paid his dues, Jonty's sofa is well on the way to being totally refurbished.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14The Hitman is right about getting on, though,
0:26:14 > 0:26:16because Kate has has also banked profits
0:26:16 > 0:26:18from the sale of her Edwardian mahogany clock
0:26:18 > 0:26:20and one of her decanter sets.
0:26:27 > 0:26:30Mr Hearnden, though, is just getting started.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37He's returned to Hearnden HQ and has invited a client round to take a look at his armchair.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39MUSIC: Theme from "The Persuaders!"
0:26:39 > 0:26:43Lady Rosemary Pickering has bought antiques from Jonty in the past,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46but will the armchair be to her liking?
0:26:46 > 0:26:51He's going to need to use his relentless charm and repartee to get back in the game.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56Ladies and gentlemen, Jonty Hearnden is The Persuader.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03I know that you were looking for a little bedroom chair.
0:27:03 > 0:27:04- Yes.- But here we've got movement.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09We've got movement in the arms, we've got movement in the back, we've got the serpentine front here.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12So it's got a lovely little shape to it. Well, I think so.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15- It's a really nice chair. - Now, you must have a seat.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Well, let's try it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:21Is it comfy?
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Yes, that's comfortable.
0:27:23 > 0:27:28- You look very comfy there.- That is comfortable, I really like that.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- Special price, £350.- 350?
0:27:31 > 0:27:32Yes. Do you like it?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34I love it, I love it.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Give that a thought, because I've got something else to show you.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43The Persuader - he's as cunning as a fox and as smooth as silk.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46Lady Pickering has fallen for the Napoleon Trois armchair,
0:27:46 > 0:27:49but will she be as impressed with Jonty's second item?
0:27:49 > 0:27:54They may have spoken on the phone to arrange their meeting, but will the bird bath fit the bill?
0:27:54 > 0:27:57So, it comes in three sections, this bird bath.
0:27:57 > 0:28:02The top is loose, the pedestal and the base.
0:28:02 > 0:28:03So it's all in three sections.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Three sections? I expected something a little bigger.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08You want something bigger?
0:28:08 > 0:28:13Oh. It sounds as though Lady Pickering isn't quite so enthusiastic about the bird bath.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16The Persuader is going to need to use all his charm
0:28:16 > 0:28:21and rapier-like wit to convince her to splash out and make a double purchase.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26- You might be more interested when I tell you the price. - Well, yes, just tell me.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29£220 for the bird bath.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- A bargain.- So, that's 220. And then the chair...
0:28:34 > 0:28:36The chair is 350.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I was just wondering,
0:28:38 > 0:28:44is there any way in which that could be a different kind of sum?
0:28:44 > 0:28:46I can make it higher if you like(!)
0:28:47 > 0:28:49You know precisely what I mean.
0:28:49 > 0:28:53I was just wondering if you could do a little reduction.
0:28:53 > 0:28:58- How about £500 for the two? - For the two?- Yeah.
0:28:58 > 0:29:02- Does that sound better?- I think that sounds very nice indeed.- Yes?
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Yes, I think I'm going to have them.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- You're a star.- I think so.
0:29:08 > 0:29:12Yes? I'm not going to shake hands, can we kiss on this, please?
0:29:12 > 0:29:15- Oh, Jonty.- Done.- Lovely.- Wonderful.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20It's £500 for the chair and the bird bath, netting Jonty a fantastic
0:29:20 > 0:29:26£170 profit for the Napoleon Trois armchair and £90 for the bird bath.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31Things are really hotting up in today's competition.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34With both dealers sealing profitable deals, it's time to find out
0:29:34 > 0:29:38who's heading for a famous triumph and who's heading for a fall.
0:29:40 > 0:29:44Jonty has sold his Napoleon Trois armchair and the bird bath,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48which has banked him a very impressive £260 worth of profit.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52His rival has sold one of her decanters, a clock and a set
0:29:52 > 0:29:58of silver napkin rings for £340, giving her £105 worth of profit.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06So, both our experts have got profits in the bank.
0:30:06 > 0:30:11And with Jonty edging out in front, it's just as well that Kate isn't one for resting on her laurels.
0:30:12 > 0:30:19Keen to seal more deals, "Absolute" Bliss hits the road in the hope of selling her remaining decanter set.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24Don't forget, both our experts have been setting up potential deals on the phone and by e-mail.
0:30:25 > 0:30:29But until money's changed hands, no sale is secured.
0:30:31 > 0:30:33- Ah, Louis!- Nice to see you.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36- And you, how are you? - Long time no see.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Yes, shop looks good.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40- Thank you.- Looks great. Very nice.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- This is the box. - That's the box, fantastic. Shall we go upstairs?
0:30:44 > 0:30:49- Lovely, OK, I'll follow you. So, how are things?- Not so bad.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55Remember that Kate bought two decanter sets for £125.
0:30:55 > 0:31:00Having sold the first set for £150, she's already recouped her costs.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03That means every penny she gets from this sale
0:31:03 > 0:31:05will be pure profit.
0:31:06 > 0:31:11Well, let me pop this down, because it is fairly heavy.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12I wonder why.
0:31:12 > 0:31:16Well, lovely rosewood box,
0:31:16 > 0:31:20with a nice bit of brass banding here. And a carrying handle.
0:31:20 > 0:31:25I saw it at an antiques fair and I just thought it was super quality.
0:31:25 > 0:31:31Also, which I think is really fun, we have glasses to match.
0:31:32 > 0:31:38There we go. And I thought, as you're an interior designer - I know that you like antiques as well -
0:31:38 > 0:31:44but you might just find a corner, or one of your clients might have a corner for this, perhaps.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47I need to find someone who drinks whisky, don't I?
0:31:47 > 0:31:51- That's right. Scotch on the rocks. - Scotch on the rocks.
0:31:51 > 0:31:58It would look lovely on a sideboard in somebody's dining room, or even in somebody's, you know, sitting room.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02But also it's got that carrying handle, so you could take it with you
0:32:02 > 0:32:05on a picnic, even. If you fancied it.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09- For the man that has everything. - It is, isn't it?- It seems to be OK.
0:32:09 > 0:32:14The decanters are all in good condition, no damage.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17That one needs a bit of a clean-out. I should have done that for you.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18No, it's all right.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Sign of age. I think that's a good sign.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23But they're all in nice condition.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28- It's not often that you see the glasses as well, is it? - No. Very different.
0:32:28 > 0:32:32Now the glass is much later, it's fairly modern cut glass.
0:32:32 > 0:32:37But the box, I would think, dates from around 1900, something like that.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- Your sort of thing? - I might be interested.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44- Mm-hm.- What sort of money are we talking about?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Well, how does 250 sound?
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- Expensive!- (Oh, Louis!)
0:32:50 > 0:32:51Oh, dear.
0:32:51 > 0:32:57The proceeds of this sale might be all profit, but things haven't got off to the best of starts.
0:32:57 > 0:33:04At Hearnden HQ, it's a case of mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the canniest dealer of them all?
0:33:05 > 0:33:10It could prove to be Jonty, if he can offload his Dutch mirror, that he paid £130 for.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15Guy, there's a mirror here that I think you might be interested in.
0:33:15 > 0:33:17- Very nice.- Just here.
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Now, what do you think about that? - Very attractive.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23It's Dutch, mid-19th century.
0:33:23 > 0:33:26Mahogany frame, with inlay all the way around.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29There's a bit of damage on the side here.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33- Right, I see.- So there's a bit of a chip off the side there.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Do you want to have a look at it? - Yes, please.- Yeah?
0:33:36 > 0:33:40Now...not only have we got a great front to it,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43look at the quality of the inlay there.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45Probably worth about £100 to me.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47£100? I was thinking of doubling that, Guy.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50The thing is that I don't actually have anywhere...
0:33:50 > 0:33:54I haven't got a plan for it, so it would be an indulgence.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- I'd go 150, Jonty. - I'm feeling generous.- Jolly good.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Even more generous.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03- We'll have a sale and I'll give you a cup of tea, as well. - That will be very nice.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06- Go on.- OK, thanks. - There's always a first!
0:34:06 > 0:34:11So, having sold the mirror for £150, it's another £20 profit.
0:34:11 > 0:34:19It might not be an earth-shattering amount, but it's a good result and, in this contest, every penny counts.
0:34:19 > 0:34:23Louis still has designs on Kate's decanters, but he's proving to be a tough negotiator.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27Can the golden girl of antiques strike a deal?
0:34:27 > 0:34:30It's nice, though, isn't it? Do you like it?
0:34:30 > 0:34:31You've won me there.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34- The price.- The price, OK.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37How about 200?
0:34:39 > 0:34:41Can I squeeze another 10?
0:34:43 > 0:34:47- Why not? OK. That's fine. - Great.- Thanks.- Thank you very much.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52So, thanks to the decanter set, the profit is pouring in.
0:34:52 > 0:34:57Kate bought two sets for £125 and has sold them for £360,
0:34:57 > 0:35:01giving her a huge £235 profit.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04It's a fantastic result,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07but her rival isn't going to give in without a fight.
0:35:09 > 0:35:13So I'm here with my croquet set and I've come to visit an old pal of mine, who's a croquet nut.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17And I'm going to see whether he's going to be interested in buying it.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23And I quite fancy challenging him to a game.
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Jonty paid £160 for the set at the Newark Antiques Market.
0:35:28 > 0:35:33As he's on a mission to raise money for charity, he's hoping to persuade Charlie to dig deep.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35But before he tries to seal a deal,
0:35:35 > 0:35:38he's decided to challenge his friend to a game.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Are you up for a challenge?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42- Yeah. I'll take you on, but my rules.- You're on.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- YESTERYEAR BBC VOICE: - Ladies and gentlemen,
0:35:44 > 0:35:48welcome to the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is croquet challenge.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54Jonty's competitive streak means he can't resist
0:35:54 > 0:35:59giving his contact a darned good thrashing at croquet.
0:35:59 > 0:36:04But was the game enough to persuade Charlie to dig deep and gave Jonty a big profit?
0:36:05 > 0:36:06£600, Jonty.
0:36:06 > 0:36:08That's very kind.
0:36:09 > 0:36:10Well, there you have it.
0:36:10 > 0:36:16Jonty Hearnden - antique dealer, raconteur, bon viveur and top-drawer sportsman, to boot!
0:36:16 > 0:36:21And, thanks to Charlie, he's just made a whopping £440 profit
0:36:21 > 0:36:24and piled the pressure on his rival.
0:36:25 > 0:36:31Now, "Absolute" Bliss knows a thing or two about jewellery, being a qualified gemologist.
0:36:31 > 0:36:36However, in order to land an all-important sucker-punch, she needs to turn a sizeable profit
0:36:36 > 0:36:39from her Art Deco earrings, and the Edwardian pendant.
0:36:39 > 0:36:44- Hello, Andrew.- Hello, Kate, how are you?- I'm back from Newark.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- Good to see you again. - The antiques fair.
0:36:46 > 0:36:48- You rang me from there. - That's right.- Did it rain?
0:36:48 > 0:36:52- It always rains when I go. - No, it didn't, actually. It was really cold, though.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55These are what I told you about on the phone.
0:36:55 > 0:36:56I told you about some earrings.
0:36:56 > 0:36:59- Let's have a look. - Here are the earrings.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02There's something else in there, which I'll show you in a minute.
0:37:02 > 0:37:05- But what do you think about those? - Very Deco-looking, square.
0:37:05 > 0:37:11- They are, yes. Modern, I know, but they've got that Art Deco look about them, haven't they?- They have.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15- Repro, but gold.- Yes, yes. - Are they hallmarked?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18They are, yes. Have a little look on the back.
0:37:18 > 0:37:20Lovely colour from the Ceylon sapphire.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23That's a lighter-coloured sapphire, isn't it?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Much more commercial these days. - Well, it's a better quality stone.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30Hopefully you didn't pay too much, because they're nine carat.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33- You know that, don't you?- Yes. I know you like 18 carat, don't you?
0:37:33 > 0:37:35I prefer 18 carat.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40It's just, diamond jewellery, we prefer to sell in 18-carat gold.
0:37:40 > 0:37:46However, because these are a Deco repro, they're a shape that people like.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50And they're sought-after. But it does depend on the price.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53- What's in that box? - Well, this is the other thing.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56This was a spontaneous buy. Tell me what you think about that.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59The reason I bought it was because I thought that amethyst
0:37:59 > 0:38:01was such a lovely colour and such a nice stone.
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- It's Edwardian, I think, too, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:38:05 > 0:38:09The amethyst-pearl combination was used a lot in the Edwardian period.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- They liked that combination. - Yes, this purple colour.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17- It's a pretty piece, especially the pear shape.- It is lovely, isn't it?
0:38:17 > 0:38:19On a chain, if I can find an old chain for it to go with it...
0:38:19 > 0:38:24- That would set it off really nicely. - Excellent, yes.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- You just need a little black dress. Well, not you, personally.- No.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32Oh, I don't know(!) Anyway, it would appear that Kate's expertise
0:38:32 > 0:38:35in the world of gems and jewellery could get her a result.
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Her dealer is interested, but can she get the mark-up required to catch The Hitman?
0:38:41 > 0:38:47In London, Jonty's two-seater sofa has been restored and there's interest from a potential buyer.
0:38:47 > 0:38:50But can Mr H seal a deal?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53Here is the sofa. There it is, in all its splendour.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56Well, I've already come down a couple of times to have a look.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00I love coming past this shop, there's always something different.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02So what do you think about this?
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I've got the perfect spot for it.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Yeah? I think it looks great in this sort of freshly covered linen here.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12- And the seat, particularly. And these lovely tapering legs.- Yes.
0:39:12 > 0:39:14I think it gives a real bit of style to this sofa.
0:39:14 > 0:39:17- What do you think? - It's simple, but chic.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20It's a great neutral colour too. It's just what I'm looking for.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- And I'm very fussy!- So, where would you put a sofa like this?
0:39:23 > 0:39:27In my living room, because I've never been happy with
0:39:27 > 0:39:31the living room and we never use it, because I'm not happy with it.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34So this would be perfect and I'll have another room in my house.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37- Wonderful.- But how much is it?
0:39:37 > 0:39:38It's £650.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Ooh, that's a bit more than I was hoping to pay for it.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Is there any negotiation?
0:39:43 > 0:39:45Today's challenge is going right to the wire.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Will Jonty's sale of the sofa get him over the final hurdle?
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Will Kate's jewellery turn enough profit to pip The Hitman?
0:39:53 > 0:39:57All will be revealed very shortly, because it's time to tot up
0:39:57 > 0:40:01the profits and find out how much our determined dealers have made.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08Both Kate and Jonty were challenged to spend up to £750
0:40:08 > 0:40:11of their own money on antiques.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Mr Hearnden didn't hold back and blew the lot.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18Kate, on the other hand, parted with just £595.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24The big question, though, is who made the biggest profit?
0:40:25 > 0:40:29It's time to bring together the Posh and Becks of the antiques world
0:40:29 > 0:40:32and reveal today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:40:35 > 0:40:39Jonty, this must have been a walk in the park for you. You go to Newark all the time.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41I love it. It's a great place.
0:40:41 > 0:40:44You bought those decanters, those were sweet. How did they get on?
0:40:44 > 0:40:49- That was a good buy, buying the two together. I actually sold them to different people.- Did you?
0:40:49 > 0:40:54For one of them, I looked up an old friend, Louis, who's a great pal of mine, in Ledbury.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56And he loved them.
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Now, shall we find out? Because I can't wait to see how we've got on.
0:41:00 > 0:41:02- Let's have a look. - Ready? After three.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04One, two, three...
0:41:04 > 0:41:09- Wow! Four figures!- That's amazing.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12That's a bit of a thrashing, isn't it?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15I didn't realise it was over £1,000.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17That's fantastic! Well done, you.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19- God, the sofa did go well! - Ha-ha-ha!
0:41:19 > 0:41:24And, talking of which, therefore, I owe you lunch. A big slap-up meal.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26- Lunch!- How about that? - I'm not going to turn you down.
0:41:26 > 0:41:29- Come on. It's all on me. - You lead the way.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Unfortunately for Kate, all that glitters didn't quite turn out to be gold.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38- £600?- Mmm, for the two.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42- No! No, I can't go that high, Kate.- OK.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Got to be 520 - the maximum I'd go for.- That's your top?
0:41:45 > 0:41:50As all of Kate's profits are going to her good cause, her contact dug especially deep.
0:41:50 > 0:41:54But a combined profit of £160 on her two pieces of jewellery
0:41:54 > 0:41:56still wasn't enough to win today's contest,
0:41:56 > 0:42:01because The Hitman banked an amazing £380 profit on his sofa.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03What about 600, how about that?
0:42:05 > 0:42:07- And free delivery?- Of course.
0:42:07 > 0:42:09- Fantastic.- Yes?- Yes, that's a deal.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11- You'd like to buy it? - Yes, please.- It's yours at 600.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13Oh, I'm so thrilled. That's great.
0:42:13 > 0:42:17£1,100, on the nail.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21I am delighted. I'm over the moon that I've made that amount of money.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26I think you would call that a resounding defeat.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Fair do's, you've got to hand it to Jonty, he's a bit of a pro, isn't he?
0:42:30 > 0:42:33Well, today's title may have gone to Jonty, but both our experts
0:42:33 > 0:42:38have raised fabulous sums for two deserving causes.
0:42:38 > 0:42:43I chose Helen Douglas House, because it's a charity based not too far away from my home
0:42:43 > 0:42:46and I think it's an incredibly worthy cause.
0:42:46 > 0:42:49Well, I'm really pleased to have made a profit of just under £500
0:42:49 > 0:42:52to give to the Alzheimer's Society in Herefordshire.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Well, there's no time for Jonty to rest on his laurels,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01as tomorrow, battle lines will be drawn at a car-boot sale.
0:43:02 > 0:43:07I wonder who's going to be the king or queen of this boot fair?
0:43:07 > 0:43:11- I think it will be me. - That is quite a result.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14Jonty Hearnden, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Ready to go over the top and into battle? Follow me.
