0:00:02 > 0:00:06We've all seen them on TV, but how will the country's favourite antiques experts fare
0:00:06 > 0:00:09when they're challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:12If that's £50, you've got a buyer.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15There's the stuff just leaving.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17From car-boot sales to auction houses,
0:00:17 > 0:00:21our experts will be recreating some of their real-life deals,
0:00:21 > 0:00:22as they go head-to-head
0:00:22 > 0:00:27and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28100% profit.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30£100. That is amazing.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33The challenge to our experts is clear.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Dealers, put your money where your mouth is.
0:01:05 > 0:01:11Today's experts are our very own debonair dealer Jonty "The Hit Man" Hearnden
0:01:11 > 0:01:15and the First Lady Of Antiques, Kate "Absolute" Bliss. The daughter
0:01:15 > 0:01:18of an auctioneer, Kate's been surrounded by antiques
0:01:18 > 0:01:23all her life. It's hardly surprising 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 > 0:01:34I've grown up around auction rooms. I've grown up rummaging in boxes, handling antiques all the time,
0:01:34 > 0:01:36and they're all over the place, at home.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Kate's title of the First Lady Of Antiques
0:01:38 > 0:01:43comes from dispensing expert advice on Bargain Hunt and Flog It!
0:01:43 > 0:01:45I would like 150.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47150? Oh, no, no, no.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Kate's opponent might not have grown up in the antiques world,
0:01:50 > 0:01:55but with over 30 years' experience in the trade behind him, there isn't much
0:01:55 > 0:01:59that Jonty Hearnden doesn't know about antiques and collectables.
0:01:59 > 0:02:05One of the most exciting sales I've ever undertaken was buying a Tudor bedstead for a client of mine.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09It ended up costing them in excess of £30,000, and when
0:02:09 > 0:02:14that sale actually happened, it was a very, very exciting moment for me.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16A firm favourite with the housewives,
0:02:16 > 0:02:20this antique hunter can regularly be found searching for Cash In The Attic.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26So we have our experts and with their reputations on the line and their chosen charities counting
0:02:26 > 0:02:32on them to deliver the goods, it's time for us to find out the aim of today's game.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34- Kate.- That's a nice bench.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- It's lovely, isn't it. - Now, I have an envelope.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- And I've got something for you. - Ooh. Let's have a little look.
0:02:40 > 0:02:46"Jonty and Kate, your challenge today is to spend up to £250
0:02:46 > 0:02:49"of your own money on antiques."
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- I think I can manage that. - Yes, I can cope.
0:02:51 > 0:02:58"You must then resell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02"The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."
0:03:02 > 0:03:04"Today, you must buy all your antiques from a car-boot sale."
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Do you think there are going to be any antiques?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09You never know what you might find.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12That's true. That's the one thing about a car-boot sale.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- You could see anything.- Let's go and find out.- Exciting!- Come on.
0:03:16 > 0:03:22So the challenge for our experts is to spend up to £250 of their own money at a car-boot sale.
0:03:22 > 0:03:26Pretty much everybody that Kate and Jonty try to do deals with
0:03:26 > 0:03:30will be aware that they're are on a mission to raise as much money as possible for charity.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And our experts will be doing everything in their power
0:03:33 > 0:03:37to persuade people to give them the best possible prices, when they buy
0:03:37 > 0:03:41and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.
0:03:41 > 0:03:45The Hit Man and Miss Bliss will be crossing swords at the Cheltenham Car Boot Sale.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49This weekly sale has hundreds of stalls and thousands of items on offer
0:03:49 > 0:03:53and is held at the world-famous Cheltenham Racecourse.
0:03:53 > 0:03:59Kate and Jonty are planning to hunt through every car boot, going row by row and stall by stall.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03As both experts are chomping at the bit, let's get under way.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08With the Put Your Money Challenge Cup about to start,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11this could be the biggest race since the Grand National.
0:04:11 > 0:04:17It's the young filly Kate "Absolute" Bliss versus the old warhorse, Jonty "The Hit Man" Hearnden.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20They're under starter's orders...
0:04:20 > 0:04:22And they're off.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Our experts have got up to £250 of their own money in their pockets today.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31They're on the hunt for potentially profitable and game-winning pieces.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34Now, here we are at Cheltenham Racecourse.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Look what I've taken a gamble on.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40This! Isn't she magnificent?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Now, wait for this.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45I paid £38 for this.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48I think that's a genuine bargain.
0:04:48 > 0:04:55But this yacht, or model yacht, is not necessarily 1920s or Edwardian.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57This is practically brand new.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02But for my £38, I think I've got a genuine bargain
0:05:02 > 0:05:04which allows me to sail to victory.
0:05:06 > 0:05:09The model yacht has definitely put the wind in Jonty's sales.
0:05:09 > 0:05:15But this battle has only just begun and it's only a matter of time before Kate's systematic approach
0:05:15 > 0:05:20of looking in every nook and cranny, helps her to uncover an unusual find of her own.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Excuse me, sir. Where did this come from?
0:05:22 > 0:05:26It came from a local Victorian house in Lansdown.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- Here in Cheltenham?- Yes, it was taken out by a local contractor.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32So how much do you want for it?
0:05:32 > 0:05:39- My dad's asked for 25...- Right.- ..as a round number, I guess, and that's what I've been telling everyone.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Right. I tell you what.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46I've got a figure in my head. I'll give you 15. How does that sound?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Yeah, I think that's close enough. - Yes?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- OK. Lovely.- We want to get rid of it. Yeah. That's great.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I'll take it off your hands.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- Thank you. - Thank you. But I tell you what.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Even if it's a later reproduction, it's still got
0:05:59 > 0:06:06that lovely period look, and I think a reclamation yard or even a private person nearer to where I live,
0:06:06 > 0:06:10who's doing up a period residence, would quite take a fancy to that.
0:06:10 > 0:06:16With one flutter of her eyelashes, the First Lady has managed to get the radiator for almost half price.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20Bargaining power like that could be the undoing of some opponents, but not The Hit Man.
0:06:20 > 0:06:25He's cool, calm and collected and, thanks to his eye for modern design,
0:06:25 > 0:06:27he's managed to snap up another bargain.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32So for a fiver, what have I bought?
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I've got this fabulous, retro 1960s-shaped chair.
0:06:36 > 0:06:42I call it retro in style because this is not a contemporary chair of the '60s.
0:06:42 > 0:06:47It is possibly brand spanking new, and I'll show you for why.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52Turn the chair upside-down, look at the frame here, this chrome frame at the bottom.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57That is a brand new chrome frame, which means the chair itself is brand new, too.
0:06:57 > 0:07:04So for my money, it's a fiver, but a fiver very well spent.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07So Jonty's managed to pick up a chair that's almost brand new,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11while Kate has her eye on furniture that has a distinct rustic feel.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15I'm not sure you could call this set of garden furniture antique.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I'm not even sure if it's English. It could well be French.
0:07:18 > 0:07:24But what I do know is that it's a very commercial little set of four chairs and a table.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28And the best thing is that it all folds away. Look at that.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31To even the smallest of garden sheds.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Now, I have noticed it does need a little bit of work.
0:07:34 > 0:07:40The wood is lifting here, on this arm, and it's a little bit wobbly in places.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44But perhaps just a few screws need tightening up.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47I'm not sure whether I'd paint this or whether I'd rub it down
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and ply it with teak oil to bring out the colour of the wood.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55But the damage hasn't really deterred me from enquiring about the price.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Excuse me, madam.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Hi. How much do you want for your lovely set of table and chairs?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- £60.- Well, I was hoping for 50.- 55?
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Hmm, 50's better for me.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10- OK.- 50?- Yes.- Oh, fantastic.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13I think I might just have...
0:08:13 > 0:08:16there we go, 20, 40, 50. Thank you very much indeed.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19It will go to a very good home, I can assure you.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21- Good.- Thank you very much.
0:08:21 > 0:08:27That's a good bit of business from Kate. She and Jonty are shopping like pros at this car boot sale.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30And it looks like Kate is splashing the cash again.
0:08:31 > 0:08:35Look what I have got myself for just £3. I think that's a bargain
0:08:35 > 0:08:40and I know just the retro specialist I'm going to pitch this to.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44So not only did Kate get the coffee pot for the knock-down price of £3,
0:08:44 > 0:08:48but she's also got a buyer in mind for it already.
0:08:51 > 0:08:57Elsewhere, Jonty's added a set of silver spoons and a Japanese vase to his stash of items.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04- Got a sale?- Yep.- You have two sales, sir.- I'll be able to eat tonight!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08I've got some booty from the boot sale.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Now, this fabulous vase.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12This is really attractive.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15But I've broken all of my golden rules.
0:09:15 > 0:09:21I've bought a vase with a massive great big chip on the top.
0:09:21 > 0:09:26How am I going to sell it? Because porcelain dealers are very, very fussy animals, indeed.
0:09:26 > 0:09:34But vases like this are so superb and the detailing is what really attracts me to Japanese vases.
0:09:34 > 0:09:39This vase would have been made about 120, 140 years ago
0:09:39 > 0:09:43in the southern part of Japan.
0:09:43 > 0:09:48All the decoration, all the gilding, is all hand-done.
0:09:48 > 0:09:54So this would have taken somebody literally weeks to make.
0:09:54 > 0:10:00I find them quite extraordinary, and for 50 quid, I think there has to be a profit in it. I love that to bits.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06So that's my vase. But I also bought these really great silver spoons.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12These spoons were made to commemorate the Queen's Silver Jubilee in 1977,
0:10:12 > 0:10:17and as a consequence, I think there'll be a buyer for them, out there, somewhere.
0:10:17 > 0:10:24These are solid silver, and at £30, I'm hoping I'm going to make a stir in the marketplace.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now, has Kate spotted this stand?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31I'm not quite sure whether she has the eye for genuine quality.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Ooh, I say! That's fighting talk from The Hit Man.
0:10:34 > 0:10:39He clearly means business today and he'll also be aiming to cash in
0:10:39 > 0:10:43and make a profit from a pair of Sadler vases and a green jug.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47But Jonty's not the only one combing through the car boots.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49Absolute Bliss is doing very nicely.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53When it comes to haggling, she's definitely got the gift of the gab.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I like your necklace. Can I have a look, please?- Yes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Great colour.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Lovely, thanks.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Now, this reminds me of an Edwardian sautoir, as they were called.
0:11:08 > 0:11:14They were rope-like necklaces ending with a tassel pendant, just like this one, usually about 40 inches
0:11:14 > 0:11:19in length. They were popular in the Edwardian period because Queen Alexandra used to wear them.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24This one is modern and beadwork, but it's a beautiful blue colour
0:11:24 > 0:11:27and I think, with the right dress, this could look fantastic.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30- How much is that, please?- £5?
0:11:30 > 0:11:33£5. Hmm, can you do it for a couple?
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Could go for three.- I tell you what. How much is your mannequin?
0:11:36 > 0:11:41- Mannequin's 15.- OK, what could you do if I took the two?
0:11:41 > 0:11:4215?
0:11:42 > 0:11:45Can I be cheeky and say what about 12?
0:11:45 > 0:11:4612, OK, 12's fine.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48All right, brilliant, lovely.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- There's 10 and one, two.- Thank you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Is it heavy?- No, it's not.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Lovely. Thank you.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Better not forget the necklace. Thanks a lot.- No problem.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Both our experts are working hard to find potentially game-winning pieces
0:12:06 > 0:12:12but who's galloping to success and who needs to pick up the buying pace?
0:12:13 > 0:12:18Remember that our experts began the day with £250 of their own money.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Jonty's spent £132 on six items,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25which leaves him with up to £118 to spend.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30Kate has bought five items and spent £80,
0:12:30 > 0:12:34which means that she still has £170 in her kitty.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Both our experts have got plenty of cash left in their pockets.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42They're on the hunt for more items
0:12:42 > 0:12:46with the potential to make them the profits they need to win today's contest.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Both our experts are sticking to strategy - checking ever car boot,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55going row-by-row and stall-by-stall.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58Jonty has tracked down a potentially profitable piece,
0:12:58 > 0:12:59and it's a genuine antique.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07I freely admit that I have a chair-buying disease,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10because, yes, I have bought it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15This chair is a fabulous, kind of like, Victorian throne chair.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19When I first saw it, I thought this is probably a municipal-style
0:13:19 > 0:13:25chair, so a chair that would have housed a grand Victorian town hall.
0:13:25 > 0:13:27But I don't think it is, because of the top here.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31If it had been a municipal piece, then you'd probably have a town's crest here.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36This is somebody's individual initials carved here, in the top rail.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41So this chair would have probably been part of a very large, grand dining-room suite.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Can you imagine it? The massive table, the massive chairs?
0:13:45 > 0:13:49So this is a carver of one of the set of the chairs.
0:13:49 > 0:13:50This is the original fabric here
0:13:50 > 0:13:57This needs re-covering, but one day, sooner rather than later, hopefully, somebody will buy this from me
0:13:57 > 0:14:01and restore it, to turn it back to its former Victorian glory.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03Price?
0:14:03 > 0:14:05£70.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10The Hit Man might be sounding confident about his Victorian chair,
0:14:10 > 0:14:15but his rival has got her hands on a piece of furniture that she thinks could help her to victory.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Now, this is known as a Globe Wernicke-type bookcase.
0:14:21 > 0:14:27Funny name, but it's a name given for a bookcase that's made in sections, just like this one.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31And they can stack on top of each other to give you a versatile size.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You can extend it just as you wish.
0:14:33 > 0:14:39The name Globe Wernicke goes right back to the late 19th century, when there were two factories in America.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43The Globe Files Company and the Wernicke Company.
0:14:43 > 0:14:50By the end of the 19th century, the two companies had merged. They had patented what was known as
0:14:50 > 0:14:56the "elastic bookcase," because of its flexible size and stackable components.
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Now, it was such a good seller that they had a great slogan for the business.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04"It grows with your business as your business grows with it."
0:15:04 > 0:15:08It was so successful, it was copied in Europe and in England.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11This piece is 20th century.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16I would say it probably dates from the '40s. Look at the details on it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22The really square shape. Nice little, sort of, almost Deco mouldings to the top. And you've got these
0:15:22 > 0:15:28lovely bronzed handles, which I think are very Art Deco in shape and just give it a nice, little bit of detail.
0:15:28 > 0:15:36Inside, I've noticed you've got the retailer's label on the inside, saying "Minty Limited"
0:15:36 > 0:15:38and "library specialists, Oxford".
0:15:38 > 0:15:41So, obviously, made and retailed in the UK.
0:15:41 > 0:15:46The colour is a little bit patchy down here, where it's got a bit damp or it's been in the sun.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49And if you have a look at the top, it's even tattier.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54You've got some paint damage and the lovely, light oak-colour has faded quite a bit.
0:15:54 > 0:16:00But these are still really commercial pieces today, because of their flexible design.
0:16:00 > 0:16:05And at £40, this little bookcase has just got to be mine.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09So that's another potential bestseller for Kate.
0:16:09 > 0:16:14Elsewhere at the boot fair, Jonty thinks he's lined up another opportunity to pocket some profit,
0:16:14 > 0:16:17having just spent a fiver on three collectables.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21It's a glorious, sunny morning here at Cheltenham Races,
0:16:21 > 0:16:27and I've placed my bets and put my money on this picture here.
0:16:27 > 0:16:32When I first picked it up, I thought it looks very modern because we've got a modern reproduction frame.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36This is in the style of a 19th-century walnut frame,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39but the frame itself and the mount is brand new.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45But on the inside, here, is a late-Victorian, hand-coloured print.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50It's obviously of a family having a bit of fun playing snooker or billiards, which was
0:16:50 > 0:16:54incredibly popular in the late 19th century and into the Edwardian era.
0:16:54 > 0:16:59So underneath all of this modern frame is an antique print.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm hoping that I can snooker Kate with this one.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04I've got these...
0:17:04 > 0:17:08but I've got also a pair of Ladybird books.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13The ladybird books are now highly collectible. The reason why I think they are
0:17:13 > 0:17:19so collectible is they have that retro feel, because I remember these books as a kid, myself.
0:17:19 > 0:17:26Originally, a lot of these, I suppose, history books that were created by Ladybird in the early
0:17:26 > 0:17:311960s and late '50s had original dust jackets.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35If they've got their original dust jackets, they could be worth a small fortune.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40But here, if you look down on the spine, they are a little bit worn.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46I had a flick through and there's no children's markings on them, as that makes the price almost unsaleable.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48I'm hoping that I'll make a profit on these.
0:17:48 > 0:17:56Ladybird were first published, or first produced children's books, in 1915. They were designed
0:17:56 > 0:18:02to produce pure and healthy books for children. That was their motto.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Talking of children, are you sitting comfortably?
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Then I'll begin.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13"When our planet began its life as a whirling mass of hot gases, there was no land..."
0:18:13 > 0:18:19Come on now, Jonty, you haven't got time for bedtime stories because Kate's hunting out more bargains.
0:18:26 > 0:18:31She's cast her eye over hundreds of the items on offer and has picked out an assortment of pieces,
0:18:31 > 0:18:35including something with an Irish heritage.
0:18:35 > 0:18:41This is perhaps the most famous type of porcelain that's ever come out of Ireland. It's a piece of Belleek.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45It's an ashtray. Not the most commercial design,
0:18:45 > 0:18:48but as a piece of Belleek, it's certainly collectible.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Turn it over and all pieces of Belleek have their mark,
0:18:52 > 0:18:58and this piece is the fifth period mark, or the green mark,
0:18:58 > 0:19:01which helps me date it almost exactly.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05Because here you can see the words "County Fermanagh,"
0:19:05 > 0:19:11underneath the scroll here, and I know that that was removed from the mark in 1965.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16So this has to date between 1955 and 1965.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So it's got more age than you think.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I think that's quite a tidy little piece. Have a look at this teapot.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26This is probably about 1840 in date, early Victorian.
0:19:26 > 0:19:31Staffordshire and printed with painted decoration over the top, in coloured enamels.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36A bit of a crack on this side, but otherwise a really old piece.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39There's a lovely vase here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43This is probably Art Nouveau, 1930s, perhaps a bit later.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47Beautiful organic shape, and this lovely blue,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51almost opalescent, colour with a purple finish.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56Almost like an orchid vase, if you like. A really nice organic shape.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00And here is a little wine glass
0:20:00 > 0:20:04which dates probably from the 18th century or even earlier.
0:20:04 > 0:20:05And you can see how it was made.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08It's got a lovely misshapen bit on the foot,
0:20:08 > 0:20:13and you can see bubbles in the glass, which I particularly like.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15I think I'd better snap these pieces up.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20As we all know, Kate is no novice when it comes to haggling.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24So how much can she get this little lot for?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- 20?- 20...Ooh, come on, sir.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30A little bit better?
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Just for me?
0:20:32 > 0:20:35You tell me this time.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Look, split the difference. 17?
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- It's a deal.- Yes?
0:20:39 > 0:20:41Fantastic. Thank you very much.
0:20:41 > 0:20:47Yes, she may have half of her kitty still in her pocket, but like a seasoned pro,
0:20:47 > 0:20:52Kate's haggled like a trooper and managed to buy a job lot of items for just £17.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Sadly, that's the last time she or The Hit Man will be able to charm
0:20:56 > 0:21:00the stall holders today, because with the boot fair wrapping up,
0:21:00 > 0:21:05it's time to find out who's performed like a thoroughbred and who's been a bit of a donkey.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Jonty "The Hit Man" Hearnden has spent £207 on nine items,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17leaving him with £43 in his kitty.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Kate "Absolute" Bliss kept a tight grip on the purse-strings, spending
0:21:21 > 0:21:28just £137 on seven items, which leaves her with £113 in her pot.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34Remember that the winner will be the expert who makes the most profit.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Before they head home to plan how they'll sell their wares,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Jonty and Kate are keen to get a glimpse of what their opponents have purchased.
0:21:41 > 0:21:45- Look at this!- Wow, look at all this booty from the boot sale! - You've got loads of stuff!
0:21:45 > 0:21:48I know. What do you think about my big chair?
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- Yeah, it's like your throne.- I know.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52King Jonty. Your initials?
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Sadly not. And it does look a bit like a commode!
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- I do like your yacht, though. - Yes, very pleased with that.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03- That's very classy.- Oh, yes.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05I only buy classy items, Kate.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07What have you got over there?
0:22:07 > 0:22:10Do you like my lovely set of garden chairs and table?
0:22:10 > 0:22:12What d'you think?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14There's a problem.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- There's a hole in the middle of your table.- Oh, come on, you can't have everything.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21- It's for when it rains. - And I've also spotted...- Oh, yes?
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Come here, come here.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Kate, I'm concerned.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30We have a coffee pot for one, a teapot for one and a sherry glass for one. What's going on?
0:22:30 > 0:22:32Well, I'm a mean lady.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36But I have to show you this, look. I thought this was a complete gem.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40A little bit of 18th-century English porcelain sitting in a car-boot sale.
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- That is very, very nice indeed. - Probably New Hall, I would think.
0:22:44 > 0:22:48That's fabulous. I'll give you a fiver for it now...
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Right, enough chit-chat. Time to do some selling.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Oh, gosh, yeah. Do you think we can?
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Course we can. Let's get on with it!
0:22:56 > 0:23:01So at today's boot sale, Jonty bought the model yacht,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03an almost brand-new retro chair,
0:23:03 > 0:23:06a hand-painted Japanese vase,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08a set of silver spoons,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10a Victorian throne chair,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13a late-Victorian hand-coloured print,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15a pair of collectible Ladybird books,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18a pair of Sadler vases,
0:23:18 > 0:23:19and a green jug.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23Kate will be hoping to profit from a period radiator,
0:23:23 > 0:23:26a set of folding garden furniture,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28a 1970s coffee pot,
0:23:28 > 0:23:31a beaded rope necklace and mannequin,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33a bookcase,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36and a collection of glass and porcelain ornaments.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46After a titanic tussle at the car-boot sale, our duelling duo have returned home to take stock,
0:23:46 > 0:23:52have a good look at their purchases and work out who, what, where and how to shift their wares.
0:23:52 > 0:23:58They'll both be pulling out all the stops to find the right buyers for all of their items. They're working
0:23:58 > 0:24:03their way through their contact books, putting together deals on the phone and by e-mail.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09But, until they've shaken on it and money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:10 > 0:24:17Now, clever Jonty has persuaded his local charity to display his model yacht in their shop window.
0:24:17 > 0:24:23It's created some interest but Mr H still has to do the hard part and seal a deal.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Now, you've obviously spotted this in the window.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Is this something that you'd buy?
0:24:28 > 0:24:32I think I'd be very interested in adding it to my collection, yeah.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35I like models and models of yachts.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40Do you know anything about Endeavour? Because the name is here, very clearly, at the bottom.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Yeah, there were two Endeavours, built in the 1930s for Tom Sopwith.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47The gent who made all the biplanes in the First World War?
0:24:47 > 0:24:52The Sopwith Camel and other famous planes from the First World War. He got very interested in yacht racing.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55He built two Endeavours, Endeavour I and Endeavour II -
0:24:55 > 0:24:59Endeavour I about 1933, the other one was at the end of the 1930s -
0:24:59 > 0:25:04to race in the America's Cup series, against the Americans. Which, unfortunately, we didn't win.
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- Surprise, surprise!- Yes!
0:25:06 > 0:25:12I'm aware, of course, that this is not an original 1930s model. It's relatively contemporary.
0:25:12 > 0:25:15This is a modern model, but it's still very nice.
0:25:15 > 0:25:21It's very high quality, very nicely made, and it's something which will obviously appreciate over the years.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24As a model, it will become a nice collectible item.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30I'm being a little bit different here. I'm actually asking for offers in excess of £100.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33The Hit Man an has built up a rapport with his buyer
0:25:33 > 0:25:37and now he's using a top tactic by inviting an offer for the yacht.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39But will this pay off?
0:25:39 > 0:25:43Will the collector be willing to spend over £100?
0:25:43 > 0:25:48In Herefordshire, Kate has pitched up at a reclamation yard with her garden furniture.
0:25:48 > 0:25:54Remember, the furniture set Kate back £50. Can she turn a profit?
0:25:54 > 0:25:57So, here we go, Rupert. I've laid it all out for you.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59Table and four chairs.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04There is a bit of damage. This arm has come a little bit unstuck and it is a little bit wobbly.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09I think it just needs tightening up a bit. So what do you think?
0:26:09 > 0:26:10I think it's a nice little set.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Four seats, perfect for most families.
0:26:14 > 0:26:19- Galvanised frame.- Right.- And a nice silvery colour on the teak.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21It's a nice commercial little set.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Great. OK, well, I was hoping for about 120.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27How does that sound, for the whole lot?
0:26:27 > 0:26:32I think, given the little bit of wear here and there,
0:26:32 > 0:26:34maybe 100 would be a nice round figure.
0:26:34 > 0:26:37Sure, I appreciate that. I'll bow to your better judgment.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40- £100 will do it. - OK, you've got a deal.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44Lovely. I think it looks great here. Do you want to leave it here?
0:26:44 > 0:26:48I think we should leave it here. Maybe get a bottle of wine and test it out?
0:26:48 > 0:26:50That sounds great to me. I'll follow you.
0:26:50 > 0:26:56That's a great sale for Absolute Bliss and puts £50 in her profit pot.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58Jonty is a determined opponent, though,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01and is working hard to secure a deal on his yacht.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06So if I made you an offer of £150, we've got a deal?
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Perfect. Let's shake on it quick. - Thank you very much.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14Nicely done, Mr H. The Hit Man sails into an early lead,
0:27:14 > 0:27:18landing a whopping £112 profit from his yacht.
0:27:18 > 0:27:24Today's selling contest is well and truly under way, and Miss Bliss is hoping to strike back quickly.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27She's lined up a potential buyer for her mannequin and necklace.
0:27:27 > 0:27:32Kate picked up the mannequin for just a tenner and the necklace for £2.
0:27:32 > 0:27:36Will the First Lady's passion for fashion pay dividends?
0:27:36 > 0:27:37What do you think?
0:27:37 > 0:27:39I'm sure she'll be quite useful, Kate.
0:27:39 > 0:27:43She's quite full-bodied and she's missing her stand.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46She could do with a pole and a nice tripod base or something.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49- We've always got spares of that anyway.- Have you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:53I'm sure that it would be really useful, especially to some of the
0:27:53 > 0:27:56vintage stuff and probably some of the military jackets.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00- Yeah.- I know she's a lady, but we can always put a nice jacket on it.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03OK. I've got this necklace, as well.
0:28:03 > 0:28:04What do you think about that?
0:28:04 > 0:28:07Not really me, Kate. Um...
0:28:07 > 0:28:10It was the colour that really drew me.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12Yeah. I mean, it's very, very rough.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14It depends how cheap it is, Kate.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17I'm looking for 15 for the necklace.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19Oh, no, Kate, no.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23Kate's contact is driving a hard bargain and is not prepared to give up her cash easily.
0:28:23 > 0:28:28After a confident start, is Miss Bliss about to stumble?
0:28:28 > 0:28:29What do you think?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- I'd go 10 on that.- OK.
0:28:32 > 0:28:35And £30 for the mannequin?
0:28:35 > 0:28:38No, Kate. I'll do 20 on that.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- All right, done. Yeah. 20 and 10, 30 for the two?- Yep.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46- Fantastic.- Thank you very much.
0:28:47 > 0:28:52It might not be big bucks, but that's two more items sold for Kate.
0:28:55 > 0:29:02Mr Hearnden is a determined foe, though, and he's hoping to pour more profit into his cash pot.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Here's the jug. What do you think?
0:29:06 > 0:29:07Oh, it's lovely, perfect.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- It's yours for £20. - Lovely. That's perfect.- Happy?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- Very happy.- Excellent.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Thanks very much.
0:29:13 > 0:29:18And that buyer is not the only lady to have the pleasure of Jonty's company this afternoon.
0:29:18 > 0:29:21£18. I'm being very generous.
0:29:21 > 0:29:22Is that right?
0:29:22 > 0:29:26- Yes, that sounds good to me.- Yes?
0:29:26 > 0:29:28- Happy?- Yes.- Excellent.
0:29:28 > 0:29:33Jonty's jug and two vases have delivered a £29 profit.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36He's also secured sales for his silver spoons,
0:29:36 > 0:29:38his two Ladybird books
0:29:38 > 0:29:43and his Japanese vase, giving him a further combined profit of £6.
0:29:43 > 0:29:49- Mr Hearnden's piling the pressure on Miss Bliss, who needs to sell, sell, sell!- Hi!
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- How are you? It's good to see you again.- Lovely to see you.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Remember, Kate paid just £3 for this coffee jug.
0:29:55 > 0:30:01- I'm looking for about 25. How does that sound?- Hmm...
0:30:01 > 0:30:03Accept 20?
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Seeing as it's you. You're a good businessman, Paul.
0:30:05 > 0:30:09- Thank you. Come over, I'll get you the pennies. - Lovely, thank you very much.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11That's a great sale for Miss Bliss
0:30:12 > 0:30:15and today's car-boot battle is heating up nicely.
0:30:16 > 0:30:19It's The Hit Man who's setting the pace.
0:30:19 > 0:30:25He's sold £275 worth of items and piled up profits of £147.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28After a promising start, Kate has managed to flog
0:30:28 > 0:30:34just £150 worth of goods and has put £85 worth of profit in her kitty.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41Both our experts are determined to win today's contest
0:30:41 > 0:30:44and they're setting up deals on the phone and by e-mail.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48If Kate wants to beat her rival, she needs to up her game.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52She's hoping the chrome radiator, that cost her £15 at the boot sale,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55will help her to turn up the heat on The Hit Man.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Hi, Rupert. Here I am again.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Sorry, I'm like a bad smell, aren't I?
0:31:02 > 0:31:04But you're always welcome.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07Thank you. I know you've got a really good kitchen/bathroom section.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10You've got some lovely marble wash-stands and things.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13I wondered if this just might go.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16Yeah, I like the shape of this.
0:31:16 > 0:31:21It's a bit different from your normal, plain towel rail. It's got a bit of character.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I'm told it came out of a period house in Cheltenham. I don't know
0:31:24 > 0:31:26what you think, I'm not quite sure how old it is.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29Yeah, well, it's difficult to tell with these things.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Could be ten years old, could be 30 years old.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38Obviously central-heating hasn't been around that long and there's a lot of good copies.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42I think that tap's probably a lot later.
0:31:42 > 0:31:43Yeha, yeah.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47All right, well, I'm hoping for about £60.
0:31:47 > 0:31:5160? I think 50's probably a reasonable price for that.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55Seeing as you've done me a good service and you're taking two pieces, £50 will do it.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- OK, you've got yourself a deal. - Great. Thank you.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Kate's chipping away at Jonty's lead, and will make up even more
0:32:02 > 0:32:05ground if she can sell the Belleek ashtray.
0:32:05 > 0:32:10She's called ahead to set up a meeting and her potential buyers have expressed an interest.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12They may even have talked money.
0:32:12 > 0:32:19But, until they've shaken on it and the cash has been handed over, no deal is a done deal.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24- It's very nice to meet you, after talking to you on the telephone.- Yes, lovely.
0:32:24 > 0:32:28Let me show you my little treasure. There we go.
0:32:28 > 0:32:29There's the piece of Belleek.
0:32:29 > 0:32:34You two know all there is to know about Belleek, being members of the Collectors' Society.
0:32:34 > 0:32:39I only know a little bit. I recognised it as a Belleek before I saw the mark on the bottom.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44It's got those characteristics, firstly, what I would call, that pearly finish to the lustre.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48- Is that right? - It's called cob lustre.- Ah, OK.
0:32:48 > 0:32:51And it's actually called the weave ashtray.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54- It's actually called the weave ashtray?- Yes.
0:32:54 > 0:32:55Because of that pattern?
0:32:55 > 0:33:00- Because of the weave, yes. - And this one, I know, is not particularly unusual.
0:33:00 > 0:33:01- No.- It's got the mark on the bottom.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I think I'm right in saying, is that the 1955-65 mark?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08- Yes, the fifth period, or second green.- Right.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11As a little piece of Belleek, is it fairly commercial at the moment?
0:33:11 > 0:33:16- What's the market like?- Smoking is a big taboo these days, so...
0:33:16 > 0:33:21But it's Belleek, you see, and that's what brings my interest into it.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23And I'm willing to give you £50.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25£50 is fantastic.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Thank you very much indeed.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Thank you, Kate.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Remember, Kate bought the ashtray, along with a vase,
0:33:31 > 0:33:35teapot, a bowl and a glass, for a total of £17.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38The £50 sale of the Belleek ashtray has already given her
0:33:38 > 0:33:42a £33 profit from the job lot.
0:33:42 > 0:33:47Well, £50 for my lovely piece of Belleek. That is quite a result.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50Jonty Hearnden, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
0:33:50 > 0:33:55Yes, those last two sales have put a real spring in Absolute Bliss' step.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00However, Jonty, the man who would be king, has tracked down a potential buyer for his throne chair.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04Gee, that's heavy. Hi, Simon.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06- How you?- Look what I've brought you.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- What have you got here? - What do you think?
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Nice Victorian, sort of, hall chair.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- This is original fabric on the back, isn't it?- Yes, coarse hair
0:34:16 > 0:34:21and everything. And you can tell it's the original by original lining and it's only one row
0:34:21 > 0:34:24of tacks underneath the finish. So totally straight.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28The wooden seat would have been completely wooden once upon a time.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33Yes, they've obviously cut it out with a saw to make it and sprung
0:34:33 > 0:34:35it to make it a bit more comfortable.
0:34:35 > 0:34:37A bit of old carpet under there.
0:34:37 > 0:34:39Now, are you interested in buying this?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43- How much?- It's all down to money. The dirty question.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45I'm looking for £140.
0:34:45 > 0:34:51In this condition, with the polishing, it's going to be a little bit too much.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53I could give you 100.
0:34:53 > 0:34:57Go on, then. That's a quick profit.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00- Excellent.- Thank you.- Wonderful.
0:35:00 > 0:35:03£100 lands The Hit Man a £30 profit.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Nicely done, Jonty.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Put Your Money's resident furniture fanatic isn't going to rest on his laurels, though.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15He's lined up a potential buyer who loves modern design.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Jonty paid £5 for the '60s-style chair.
0:35:18 > 0:35:24He's told the dealer by e-mail what he thinks it's worth and used all his expertise to get him interested.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27But the dealer wants to check it over, before he shakes on it.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29Is it what you imagined it to be?
0:35:29 > 0:35:32It is. From the picture I saw of it, it is what I imagined it to be.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34The condition's very good.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Probably be preferable to be leather in that colour, not cloth.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42In cloth, you're normally looking for bright colours like reds, blues and that kind of colour.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45But I think it's saleable and it goes exactly with what
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I actually sell. It's a good choice to bring it down to me.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52- One thing that I must do, though, is sit in this chair.- Absolutely.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54If you're going to buy a chair, you've got to sit in it.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57- What d'you think? - It's still comfortable.
0:35:57 > 0:36:01The padding underneath is still in good condition and it's not shaking.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- That's always a good sign.- Yeah. Can I serve you a drink, sir? - Um, what have you got?
0:36:05 > 0:36:08I'd love a drink! I really would.
0:36:08 > 0:36:14It's nice, Jonty. Let me just double check underneath it first.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18We always do that before we buy chairs. Make sure it's all in good condition.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20All your screws are there, all nice and tight.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25- Do you approve, sir?- I do approve.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Can we agreed on a £40 sale?
0:36:26 > 0:36:28I offered £40 and I'm happy to pay £40.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Chris, I like you even more. - Fantastic.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37So The Hit Man's retro blind date is a real success
0:36:37 > 0:36:41and he's now almost £60 out in front of his rival.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Miss Bliss is hoping that her glass and ceramic pieces
0:36:45 > 0:36:51and her star item, the £40 bookcase, can deliver a big sale and a decisive profit.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53Have you given it the once-over?
0:36:53 > 0:36:55It's a little bit on the rough side.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57Well, I know,
0:36:57 > 0:37:03but with a good polish, a good bit of elbow grease, I think that might come up rather nicely, Russell.
0:37:03 > 0:37:08- It is a rather nice light oak colour. - It is, which customers seem to like.
0:37:08 > 0:37:11There's a nice retailer's label inside there.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13Minty.
0:37:13 > 0:37:16That's right. Library specialist, Oxford. I would think it's
0:37:16 > 0:37:19- probably '30s.- '30s to '40s, yes. It's got a handle missing.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23- I knew you'd notice that. - Which is difficult to get hold of.
0:37:23 > 0:37:28- I thought they were quite nice, little '30s handles, almost bronzed handles.- They are, yes.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29How much are you talking?
0:37:29 > 0:37:32£100 and it's yours.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36I was thinking more of 75, 80.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39- Really?- Yes. - Well, I think it is quite commercial.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43You could get quite a few books in there, and it's not too big, is it, as bookcases go?
0:37:43 > 0:37:4590.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- That's pretty much halfway, isn't it? - Yeah.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51- All right, happy with that. - Happy with 90.- Bingo!
0:37:51 > 0:37:55The bookcase sells for £90, yielding a nifty £50 profit
0:37:55 > 0:37:58and putting Kate right back into contention.
0:37:58 > 0:38:03- The little bits? Have you had a chance to look at those? - Yeah. The teapot...
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Well, you tell me. It's got some damage.
0:38:06 > 0:38:11If Kate wants to win today's contest, she needs to seal a big deal
0:38:11 > 0:38:15for her glass and ceramic items.
0:38:15 > 0:38:18In Oxfordshire, her rival is also keen to show that he's
0:38:18 > 0:38:23the best of the best and is determined to make sure he doesn't get snookered.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Actually, Jonty, there is a picture I have some interest in.
0:38:26 > 0:38:28- Which one's that?- It's the one here.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32- This one here?- Yes. - The snooker picture? Ah, OK.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34What took your eye?
0:38:34 > 0:38:36Was it the guys playing the...?
0:38:36 > 0:38:39- Not really. It's the actual frame. - You like the frame?
0:38:39 > 0:38:41What wood is that?
0:38:41 > 0:38:45This is veneered walnut. Veneered burr-walnut,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49and this style of frame was very popular in the 19th century.
0:38:49 > 0:38:56So a lot of pictures you'll see framed just like that, with a little gilded edge on the inside there.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00But this is a reproduction frame. A relatively new frame.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03- All right. - This is not a Victorian frame.
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- But the actual print on the inside here is about 100 years old.- I see.
0:39:06 > 0:39:12- It's hand-coloured.- That might actually lend me more to actually keeping the print in the frame.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16- Really?- Yes. Have to see what it looks like when I get it home - if it's the right price.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18OK. I'm looking for £50 for this.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21I'd say 40 would be my top. That's what I'd pay.
0:39:21 > 0:39:2340?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- 40's a done deal.- Good man. Thank you very much indeed.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- It's yours, sir.- Thank you.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35Now THAT is a massive margin sale.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37I paid £4 for that print.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40£4. And I've just sold it for 40.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44Kate, I think I've got you snookered.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46It might be a massive mark-up, Mr Hearnden,
0:39:46 > 0:39:49but will it be enough to secure victory, or will Miss Bliss
0:39:49 > 0:39:53be able to seal a great deal for her glass and ceramic items?
0:39:53 > 0:39:56It has got damage - you've seen. But teapots are quite collectible,
0:39:56 > 0:40:00- aren't they?- Yes, we have quite a few people come in for them.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Maybe.- Maybe?- Maybe.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Now, the vase, I thought it was really attractive.
0:40:06 > 0:40:10It's a lovely sort of late Victorian/ early Edwardian, maybe Art Nouveau,
0:40:10 > 0:40:16opalescent with this lovely bluey colour, and then a really nice violet edge to it.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- In perfect condition. - Yes, a little posy vase.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21That's right. Quite a nice size, though.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24How much do you want for the lot? We'll do a deal on all of it.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27- Happy to take the lot? - We'll see what you're asking.- OK.
0:40:27 > 0:40:32With Kate piling on the charm, the outcome of today's contest is hanging in the balance.
0:40:32 > 0:40:34We'll find out shortly if Kate can steal a victory
0:40:34 > 0:40:40from the jaws of defeat. Because it's now time to tot up the totals and reveal our winner.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Today's roller-coaster ride of ducking and diving saw our experts
0:40:45 > 0:40:50start with up to £250 of their own money at a car-boot sale.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Jonty splashed out £207 in total.
0:40:54 > 0:40:58His rival, on the other hand, spent only £137 from her kitty.
0:41:00 > 0:41:04They've both worked hard to sell all their items. It's time to bring
0:41:04 > 0:41:07our battling experts to the capital, for one final confrontation
0:41:07 > 0:41:13as we discover who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Now, that was a really tough call, doing a car-boot sale,
0:41:17 > 0:41:21because that's not really our happy hunting ground ordinarily, is it?
0:41:21 > 0:41:24Not really, but I have to say, it was a lot of fun, wasn't it?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Yeah, it was great fun. Really was.
0:41:26 > 0:41:33I actually feel much more comfortable dealing in £5 and £10 notes rather than in £100.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Yeah, and the beauty of that is, if you make a mistake, it doesn't really matter.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38True. Although, every penny counts.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40What about your yacht? I quite liked that.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42Ah, my yacht.
0:41:42 > 0:41:46I did manage to find a buyer. That sailed right out of the showroom
0:41:46 > 0:41:49where I managed to display it, so I was very pleased about that.
0:41:49 > 0:41:50Really? Well done you.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52- Shall we have a look, then?- Yeah.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- It's exciting.- After three.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57- One, two, three.- Go.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Oh, pretty close!
0:41:59 > 0:42:02- Very close.- Congratulations.- It's me!
0:42:02 > 0:42:04It's pretty close, though, isn't it?
0:42:04 > 0:42:06Yeah, that's very close indeed.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Well, looks like it's my turn to buy the ice creams.
0:42:09 > 0:42:11Yes, lots of ice cream, please.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- It's a hot day.- Come on, then.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16It's a great result for Miss Bliss.
0:42:16 > 0:42:20After a fiercely fought contest, Kate's snatched a famous victory,
0:42:20 > 0:42:25and it was the sale of the glass and ceramic items that swung the result in her favour.
0:42:25 > 0:42:26100 for the lot.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29Could you do another 10 at a push?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32I suppose we could squeeze £10 more out, yes.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Fantastic. Thank you very much.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36I've just beaten Jonty.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I'm surprised but delighted.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41Well, I thought I was going to be king of the car-boot sale.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44Instead, crowned, we have a queen.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48Well, it might have been a triumph for Kate, but both our experts
0:42:48 > 0:42:53worked round the clock and all their profits will be going to their chosen charities.
0:42:53 > 0:42:58My £313 is going straight to the Alzheimer's Society in Herefordshire.
0:42:58 > 0:43:03I'm very pleased that I've managed to raise just a smidgen under £250 for Helen & Douglas House.
0:43:03 > 0:43:09Kate might have been crowned today's champion, but this clash of the antiques titans is far from over.
0:43:09 > 0:43:15Tomorrow The Hit Man and Absolute Bliss do battle in a final, no-holds-barred showdown.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17I'm running really short of time.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19I've got a lot to do.
0:43:19 > 0:43:26Tonight is a special night because I'm in a competition and this competition is a fierce competition.
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Only half an hour to go.
