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 > 0:00:12I bought that, hee-hee!
0:00:12 > 0:00:15The joy of car boots.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19From car boot sales to auction houses, our experts will be recreating
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 > 0:00:28Fondle without fear.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30Wait till you hear about this one!
0:00:30 > 0:00:36The challenge to our experts is clear - dealers, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
0:01:05 > 0:01:10Today's experts are our very own debonair dealer Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden
0:01:10 > 0:01:14and the First Lady Of Antiques, Kate "Absolute" Bliss.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18The daughter of an auctioneer, Kate's 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 well-respected independent valuer,
0:01:23 > 0:01:28agent and broker, with over a decade of experience under her belt.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31I love all those really clean lines and elegant pieces,
0:01:31 > 0:01:34but of course, being a girl, I also like jewellery
0:01:34 > 0:01:38and I suppose my favourite period in jewellery would be the Belle Epoque period.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Kate's title of the First Lady Of Antiques comes from dispensing
0:01:42 > 0:01:47- expert advice on Bargain Hunt and Flog It!- 200, that's cheap!- £200!
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Look at him. Look at his little face.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53- He's beautiful, isn't he?- Now, Kate's opponent might not have grown up in the antiques world,
0:01:53 > 0:01:57but with over 30 years' worth of experience in the trade behind him,
0:01:57 > 0:02:01there isn't much he doesn't know about antiques and collectables.
0:02:01 > 0:02:08One of the most exciting sales that I've ever undertaken was buying a Tudor bedstead for a client of mine.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13It ended up costing them in excess of £30,000, and when that sale actually happened,
0:02:13 > 0:02:16it was a very, very exciting moment for me.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19A firm favourite with the housewives, this antiques hunter
0:02:19 > 0:02:24can be regularly found searching for Cash In The Attic. Now, Kate and Jonty
0:02:24 > 0:02:29knew they'd be facing a special final mission and it's time for us to take a look at the moment
0:02:29 > 0:02:33they open their envelopes, as we discover exactly what that mission is.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36So, Kate, how the devil are you?
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Well, I'm pretty good, how's yourself?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39I am very, very well indeed.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42In fact, I've got a little golden envelope for you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Well, guess what? I've got one for you!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Let's have a look what this says.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- "Jonty and Kate..."- Yeah.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52"..your challenge today is to spend up to £1,000
0:02:52 > 0:02:54"of your own money on antiques."
0:02:54 > 0:02:58- £1,000!- "You must then re-sell your purchases,
0:02:58 > 0:03:01"with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07- "The winner is the expert who makes the most cash."- Wow! £1,000, eh?
0:03:07 > 0:03:09Right... "This is your Showdown."
0:03:09 > 0:03:12- Oh, yes?- "You can buy whatever you like, wherever you like."
0:03:12 > 0:03:15- Fantastic, at last! - But listen to this.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19"You must sell your items at a special one-off event."
0:03:19 > 0:03:23And right at the bottom, it says, "Good luck." So, Kate,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- may the best boy, or girl, win. - Yeah.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Sounds quite fun, this one.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35- Get to work!- So, the challenge to our experts is to spend up to £1,000
0:03:35 > 0:03:37of their own money on antiques.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41They can buy them wherever they like, before trying to turn a profit
0:03:41 > 0:03:44selling them at a one-off special event.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Pretty much everybody that Kate and Jonty try to buy from will know that
0:03:47 > 0:03:52they're on a mission to raise as much money as possible for their charities, and our experts
0:03:52 > 0:03:54will be doing everything in their power to persuade people to give them
0:03:54 > 0:04:01the best possible prices when they buy and sell the items that they hope will drive them to victory.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06This, ladies and gentlemen, is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is Showdown!
0:04:06 > 0:04:12I'm going to hand-pick some really good antiques, a cross-section of items, cheap, small,
0:04:12 > 0:04:16and then I'm going to invite a hand-picked group of people
0:04:16 > 0:04:22along to my business premises for a selling exhibition.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28Kate Bliss, I have no idea what you're up to, but I know exactly the road I'm travelling on.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32I'm going to do a charity auction, here in Herefordshire.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36I've got a great friend who runs a fantastic cafe in a church.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I might even squeeze in a raffle to maximise my profit.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45Now I've got to make sure that the pieces that I buy are really top quality to attract people in.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Well, Jonty, I don't know what you're going to do in Oxfordshire
0:04:48 > 0:04:53but I think auction plus Herefordshire equals success.
0:04:53 > 0:04:58So as our experts jump in their cars, they're both desperate to search out
0:04:58 > 0:05:02the pieces that they hope will win them today's contest.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- Hi, guys.- Morning, Jonty.- I'm in a bit of a buying mood today.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- Is it all right if I have a good look around?- Of course, absolutely. - I'll catch you later.- Good.
0:05:10 > 0:05:15The name of the game for The Hitman and Absolute Bliss is to buy potentially profitable pieces
0:05:15 > 0:05:19that will encourage the guests at their special events to dig deep.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25Remember, they have up to £1,000 of their own money to spend on anything they want.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28And there's yet more.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32And it looks as though Jonty is mapping out the road ahead.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Now, this is a hand-coloured map
0:05:36 > 0:05:38of Devon,
0:05:38 > 0:05:41and it's by a known mapmaker called Richard Blome.
0:05:41 > 0:05:46Now, Richard Blome was producing maps in the 1670s,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48so this is ancient.
0:05:48 > 0:05:511670. Just take a look at it.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Now, here, we've got the British Sea,
0:05:53 > 0:05:54which is of course the English Channel,
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and the Irish Sea, and parts of Cornwall,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00parts of Somerset-shire, look. It's lovely.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02And, of course, all of this is hand-coloured,
0:06:02 > 0:06:04so it's printed and then
0:06:04 > 0:06:08all hand-coloured thereafter, and the colours are still very crisp.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13£190. If I can get that for a little less, I think that's a winner.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18So, Jonty's hoping to do a deal on the map.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20In Herefordshire, Miss Bliss is getting down to work
0:06:20 > 0:06:23picking out some potentially profitable pieces of her own.
0:06:31 > 0:06:37Now, this is just the sort of thing I'm looking for. It's a very pretty and tidy tea caddy.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Now, the craftsman has been quite clever here,
0:06:40 > 0:06:43because in order to present this in the best possible light,
0:06:43 > 0:06:48he's saved the very best flame mahogany veneers for the top
0:06:48 > 0:06:54and for the front. It's got nice little touches of satinwood stringing along here,
0:06:54 > 0:06:58and also, a little inlaid ivory escutcheon where the key goes.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Let's look inside, and you've got two compartments
0:07:02 > 0:07:06for two different types of tea. Lift up the lids and you can see
0:07:06 > 0:07:09some remnants of the lead lining there to keep the tea fresh.
0:07:09 > 0:07:14And these have their original little ivory finials on top,
0:07:14 > 0:07:16which are quite sweet, and they fit quite well.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22A little bit tatty in the lid, but I don't think people would worry about that,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25because these are actually really collectable little items.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33I think that might suit my auction really well. I'll leave it there and perhaps have a look round
0:07:33 > 0:07:36for something else as well, because if I take two pieces,
0:07:36 > 0:07:38you never know, they might do me a better deal.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41So, both our experts are being a little cautious,
0:07:41 > 0:07:45with neither prepared to dip into their kitties just yet...
0:07:45 > 0:07:48- Just two items in the corner there. - OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:54..but that could be about to change, because it looks as though The Hitman is making his move.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58Now, I've been particularly taken by this necklace here,
0:07:58 > 0:08:02because it has a modern feel to it.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05And I've just checked the price ticket and the label here,
0:08:05 > 0:08:08and it says, "1950s faux-aquamarine
0:08:08 > 0:08:11"and clear rhinestone necklace by Orr,"
0:08:11 > 0:08:13so that's an American company.
0:08:13 > 0:08:15It has very much a contemporary feel,
0:08:15 > 0:08:18even though this necklace would have been made 50 years ago.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21Now, that's £148 at the moment,
0:08:21 > 0:08:22so if I can get that down,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I should think that I should be
0:08:25 > 0:08:28into a bit of a profit. I just like the style of it.
0:08:28 > 0:08:29I really do like that.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Now, this is much more straightforward, this bracelet.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Now, these are rhinestones.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Now, rhinestones were designed, or are generally called,
0:08:39 > 0:08:42anything that imitates a diamond.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45What have we got on the ticket? Let me have a look at that.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47"1960s, 1970s -
0:08:47 > 0:08:52"£68," because I was thinking that I would sell that for around £100,
0:08:52 > 0:08:55that sort of ballpark, because I think it's worth it.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59So, if I can do a deal on both of those, I'm having them.
0:08:59 > 0:09:05So, can our canny collector cut a deal and walk away with his first purchases of the day?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09So, we've got 50, 100 and 155.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13That's 305. Those are really special prices for you, Jonty.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Mum's the word.- OK.- Mum's the word.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18So, the map, necklace and bracelet
0:09:18 > 0:09:22set Jonty back the grand sum of £305. The Hitman
0:09:22 > 0:09:28has managed to seal a good deal, but only time will tell if he can make a profit on his purchases.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Well, who would have believed it?
0:09:31 > 0:09:35I bought a map and two pieces of jewellery.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Me, Mr Furniture Man!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41How extraordinary! Jewellery, Kate, that's so much more your thing.
0:09:43 > 0:09:50Our furniture fanatic has thrown down the gauntlet to his rival and is taking on Kate at her own game.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Miss Bliss is a formidable opponent though and has sealed a deal of her own.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59She's used all her know-how and expertise to snap up the mahogany tea box
0:09:59 > 0:10:05and a striking emerald and diamond ring for a combined sum of £120.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09It's fair to say that she's happy with her purchases.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14Well, I can hardly believe that. What a great deal! Tea caddy, ring,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18all I've got to arrange now is for everybody to fight over them!
0:10:18 > 0:10:22Remember, both our experts started out with £1,000 of their own money
0:10:22 > 0:10:24to spend on antiques.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26Right now, Jonty is flying high,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28having spent £305, leaving him
0:10:28 > 0:10:32with up to £695 still to spend.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Kate, on the other hand, has parted with £120,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38leaving her with up to £880
0:10:38 > 0:10:39in her kitty.
0:10:39 > 0:10:46MUSIC: "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac
0:10:46 > 0:10:49So both our experts have left the grid,
0:10:49 > 0:10:53and Jonty's made a fast start driving around the Oxfordshire countryside
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and Kate in her beloved Herefordshire.
0:10:58 > 0:11:03Both are in search of top gear and Jonty's made a pit stop
0:11:03 > 0:11:10to see if one of his contacts in the antiques game has got any items to help him race to victory.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15- Oh, I say, I like that chess set. Tell me about that.- Ah, yeah.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- Well, that's a bit of a find.- Yeah? - It's all there.- Yeah.
0:11:18 > 0:11:23- Bone.- OK.- Obviously red-stained for the... For those.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26And bone has a deeper fleck, doesn't it, so these flecks here are bone.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30And I suppose when you're looking at chess sets like this, it's all down to the quality of the detail.
0:11:30 > 0:11:38- What's the best on that?- Erm, 160. - 160.- So...- That's very tempting. And it is all there,
0:11:38 > 0:11:42that's the most important thing, because you just can't sell a set that is incomplete.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45- It's all there.- That's serious food for thought.- Yes.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49- I think that's a lovely chess set. - That's a great possibility, Jonty.
0:11:49 > 0:11:55Now, it's a fine day, and talking of weather, there's a barometer over here that I think is lovely.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I really like that barometer, Jonty.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59I'll tell you... I'll tell you why.
0:11:59 > 0:12:06It's anything that's this colour oak is very in and it dates from about 1910.
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- Now, this is an aneroid barometer. - Yeah.- So there's no mercury sloshing around in the system.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16No, you can move that around, turn it upside down and you'll be fine.
0:12:16 > 0:12:21- And I see that it's working beautifully, because it's pointing to fair.- Yes.
0:12:21 > 0:12:26And talking of fair, that's a very fair price, £135. What's the best on that, because I really like that?
0:12:26 > 0:12:31- Erm, 120.- 120. That's really good. That's fine. I really like that.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- Fantastic. You have two sales, madam.- Good. Lovely.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- I hope you do well with them. - Shall I come and pay you?
0:12:39 > 0:12:44So the mercurial Jonty Hearnden has bagged a couple more pieces for his exhibition, the chess set
0:12:44 > 0:12:49for £160 and the barometer for £120.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54No doubt Jonty's hoping he'll emerge as the Grand Master of this war of wits.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57But in Herefordshire, Kate's aiming to reclaim the advantage.
0:12:57 > 0:13:04Now, a reclamation yard may not be one of Kate's usual hunting grounds, but there's plenty to choose from.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06He's an attractive fellow, for a start!
0:13:06 > 0:13:11In fact, it looks like they've got just about everything, including the kitchen sink!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16Well, I've had a really good mooch about here
0:13:16 > 0:13:19and there are all sorts of interesting pieces to buy.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22However, not all of them fit my small budget,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24but I have found this quirky piece.
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Now, this is known as a tree bench,
0:13:26 > 0:13:28and it does exactly what it says it does.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32It's in two halves, so you can fit it round a lovely tree in your garden,
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- so I'm going to find out how much it is. Hey, Rupert.- Hi, Kate.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40- I quite like your tree bench. - It's a nice one, isn't it?
0:13:40 > 0:13:42It is, yeah. Would you say it's Regency style?
0:13:42 > 0:13:47It's definitely Regency style, typical of the 18th century,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50the flat steel, the curves.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Well, how much is it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:55£180.
0:13:55 > 0:13:56180.
0:13:56 > 0:14:01Well, I like this, and I reckon somebody else will too. Just perfect.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Absolutely.- Great, well, I think you've got a deal.
0:14:03 > 0:14:07She may have an easy-going manner, but make no mistake about it,
0:14:07 > 0:14:10Kate's determined to win today's showdown challenge.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16£180 for the bench eats up a big chunk of her budget and she'll need to make a good profit on it
0:14:16 > 0:14:19at her auction if she wants to beat Jonty.
0:14:19 > 0:14:25And, speaking of Mr H, he's hard at work trying to add to the haul of items for his selling exhibition.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28Ah, Amanda, how are you?
0:14:28 > 0:14:32- What are these?- Yeah, these are gorgeous, aren't they? These are Murano glass.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Murano glass? Now, we're talking, because I love Murano glass
0:14:35 > 0:14:39- and it's very saleable, it's also very fashionable.- No, they've been really popular.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- That's music to my ears. That's what I wanted to hear.- Yeah.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46- Think it goes with the blue? - I might give it a miss.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Mmm, that's the second lot of jewellery Jonty's bought.
0:14:49 > 0:14:55He's done a deal for a collection of Murano glass earrings and assorted items for £200.
0:14:56 > 0:15:03Well, I'm really pleased with my purchases, but I've still got a bit of money to invest and,
0:15:03 > 0:15:07as a consequence, I'm going to go indoors and think about my next move.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14Well, Jonty seems pretty pleased with his progress.
0:15:14 > 0:15:18In Herefordshire, his rival isn't sounding,
0:15:18 > 0:15:19quite so confident.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Well, it's easy to find something for myself,
0:15:24 > 0:15:25because I know what I like,
0:15:25 > 0:15:29but buying something for somebody else, now, that's a bit trickier.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34I've come to see some old friends of mine here, who have a huge variety of interesting stuff.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Let's hope I can find something suitable here.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- Hmm...- Hi, Kate.- Hi. - What have you found?
0:15:43 > 0:15:46I like that wine coaster you've got there.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Yes, that's very nice.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Lovely. Thank you very much.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54- So, it's plated, rather than silver. - Unfortunately, yes, yeah.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57Because it would be a good lump of silver, wouldn't it, if it was?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59- Yeah. It's silver plate on copper. - Yes.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01If you look here, you can see where it's worn through
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- and you can see the copper coming through.- Just a tiny bit peeping through.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09That's quite nice because Sheffield plate, or plate on copper, that they did in Sheffield,
0:16:09 > 0:16:12is much more desirable than just silver plate on a base metal.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15And I'd be a bit suspect if there wasn't some sort of wear to it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:18- And a really nice wooden base there. - Yeah. I think that's mahogany,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I'm not really sure, but I think so.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23And early 19th century, would you say?
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Yes, easily. It's very nice. Just right for its period.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28What have you got on there? 88. What could you do for me on that?
0:16:28 > 0:16:33- As it's you, I'll do 70.- 65?
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Yeah, go on then, as it's you. Come on.- Yes?- Yeah.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39Fantastic. I'd better find you a bottle, hadn't I?
0:16:39 > 0:16:45Yes, Kate's certainly got plenty of bottle, and has just paid £65 for the wine coaster.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Both our knights of the barter are charging ahead with their showdown plans,
0:16:49 > 0:16:54but who's been spending like a WAG and whose credit is crunching?
0:16:54 > 0:16:58Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden has dug deep into his kitty
0:16:58 > 0:17:01and parted with a total of £785,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03leaving 215 still to spend.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Kate "Absolute" Bliss is being a little more careful with her cash,
0:17:08 > 0:17:10having spent £365,
0:17:10 > 0:17:14leaving £635 in her kitty.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18So, both our experts have still got hundreds of pounds left to spend
0:17:18 > 0:17:22and Mr Hearnden is keen to buy more items with his cash.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26I'm here in Oxford to pop into a shop that I know very well,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29because I've got some dapper gents coming to my selling exhibition
0:17:29 > 0:17:36and I want some jewellery for them, so I've got something in mind.
0:17:36 > 0:17:42Once again, Jonty has moved outside his comfort zone and into the world of fashion.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48Here we see our antiques fashionista in chinos and a cheeky cerise check!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51This smart little number is the man about town.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57And there's only one look for the weekend, yes, quilted.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Even on the sports field, you won't catch The Hitman in a tracksuit.
0:18:00 > 0:18:06- Yeah!- But we can reveal his secret to fashion success,
0:18:06 > 0:18:10a different colour V-neck jumper for every day of the week.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Yes, he might have more looks than Victoria Beckham,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15but making money from men's jewellery
0:18:15 > 0:18:19is not really Jonty's strong point, so he's taking a bit of a risk here.
0:18:19 > 0:18:22His stylish opponent has also been busy.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24Now, I have found three more items.
0:18:24 > 0:18:29I will show you them a little bit later on.
0:18:29 > 0:18:34Well, that's all very mysterious, but Kate's not the only one on a secret mission.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Jonty has also bought a mystery item
0:18:36 > 0:18:39that he will be revealing shortly.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43First, he's rolling up his sleeves and trying to make another purchase.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48- Morning.- Oh, hi, Jonty! - Cufflinks. What have you got? Have you got anything stashed away?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50I have got some good ones, actually, yes.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52What have you got? Show me.
0:18:52 > 0:18:57Show me. I've bought loads of jewellery for some ladies, but I now need it for gents.
0:18:57 > 0:19:02- Right.- What have you got? Oh, I like that. So those are enamel ones, those are nice.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05- Yeah, the Deco period. - These are fun. Look at those!
0:19:05 > 0:19:07- They're great fun!- Wow, I like those. Tell me about those.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10When I bought them, I thought they might be Bakelite,
0:19:10 > 0:19:14then I've looked at them a bit more and I think they're probably vulcanite, like sulphurised rubber.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17- Right.- So I think they're between Edwardian and 1920s.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19Fantastic.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22But those are 18, yes, OK. I like those.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24What about these? I like those. Are those gold?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26No, no, they're only gold plate.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- OK.- But they are '40s - you can see that, can't you?- Yes, I like those.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34- Those are really good. So they're just gold-plated?- Yes.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- OK. And the price tag of 1940s, £14. - Yes.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40You're talking my kind of language. OK. If I bought those two,
0:19:40 > 0:19:46- could you give me a little, tiny little soupcon off?- I could indeed.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- Yeah?- We can go 15 on there, and I can do 12 on there for you, Jonty.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- And I hope you win.- Music to my ears!
0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Let's shake on it. - Those are purchased.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57OK, brilliant. Thank you.
0:19:57 > 0:20:01So, our very own dedicated follower of fashion has bought himself
0:20:01 > 0:20:04two pairs of cufflinks and has decided that
0:20:04 > 0:20:08he's got everything he needs for his selling exhibition.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11Kate has also been hard at work and is set to reveal
0:20:11 > 0:20:13her clandestine purchases.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17These are my secret weapons that I'm hoping are going to do really well.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Now, first of all, I'll show you what's in my little box.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Now, what we have is a little nine-carat gold lapel pin,
0:20:24 > 0:20:26or tie pin, if you like,
0:20:26 > 0:20:30and it's beautifully cast in the form of a horse's head.
0:20:30 > 0:20:31I've picked this particularly
0:20:31 > 0:20:33because Herefordshire is a very horsey county.
0:20:33 > 0:20:41Secondly, I've got this beautiful solid silver basket. It's Victorian,
0:20:41 > 0:20:42you've got hallmarks on the bottom,
0:20:42 > 0:20:46it dates from 1897 and it's in great condition.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48I've given it a little polish
0:20:48 > 0:20:53and it's really brought up these embossed harebells really nicely.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57It's got a really sweet beaded border around the edge,
0:20:57 > 0:20:59and I think as a pretty little piece of silver,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01quite a few people are going to like that.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06Now, my last piece I'm hoping is going to bring my most profit.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09It's a table lamp, and I've chosen this particularly
0:21:09 > 0:21:11because everybody likes lamps about their home.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15It's not only functional, but also a really good decorative piece.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19Now, it's quite unusual, in that it's got a lovely cast Corinthian capital
0:21:19 > 0:21:22at the top, and then, we've got acorns and oak leaves
0:21:22 > 0:21:26trailing in a spiral around the column.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29A lovely square base, and just a little detail which gives it
0:21:29 > 0:21:33a note of quality is this lovely family crest
0:21:33 > 0:21:35that's engraved on the base,
0:21:35 > 0:21:38that dates from the 19th century, so it also gives it its age.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I've polished it up and I think it looks pretty smart.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46Well, those three items set Kate back £120
0:21:46 > 0:21:49and are the final piece in her auction jigsaw,
0:21:49 > 0:21:52so it's time to find out just how much money
0:21:52 > 0:21:55she and Jonty have spent on their showdown items.
0:21:55 > 0:21:59Remember, today's experts can spend up to £1,000 of their own money.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02Jonty's shelled out a total of £897
0:22:02 > 0:22:04from his kitty, which includes
0:22:04 > 0:22:06paying for a mystery item.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09While opponent, Absolute Bliss,
0:22:09 > 0:22:11has spent £485 on items to sell,
0:22:11 > 0:22:13has increased her spend to 850
0:22:13 > 0:22:15by paying to put on her event
0:22:15 > 0:22:18and by buying a bottle of champagne to raffle off.
0:22:19 > 0:22:24At the end of today's romp through the world of antiques, our dynamite dealers have proved once again
0:22:24 > 0:22:28that they can spot a bargain and are performing at the top of their game.
0:22:28 > 0:22:34Kate "Absolute" Bliss has stockpiled a 19th-century bottle coaster,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36a Georgian mahogany tea caddy,
0:22:36 > 0:22:39a Victorian silver bonbon dish,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42a Regency-style tree bench,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44a nine-carat gold lapel pin,
0:22:44 > 0:22:46a diamond and emerald ring,
0:22:46 > 0:22:49a 19th-century table lamp,
0:22:49 > 0:22:52and a very fine bottle of champagne to raffle.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden also shopped till he dropped,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58purchasing a 19th-century bone chess set,
0:22:58 > 0:23:01an aneroid barometer from around 1910,
0:23:01 > 0:23:03a 17th-century map,
0:23:03 > 0:23:07a 1950s rhinestone necklace and bracelet,
0:23:07 > 0:23:10a 1920s and 1940s pair of cufflinks,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13a collection of Murano glass jewellery,
0:23:13 > 0:23:17and a mystery item that's yet to be revealed.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23Today's showdown challenge is going to decide the outcome
0:23:23 > 0:23:28of the weekly battle for profits between Kate and Jonty.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32Remember, our dynamite dealers can each spend up to £1,000 of their own money,
0:23:32 > 0:23:36with all the profits going to a good cause of their choice.
0:23:36 > 0:23:39In order to sell all her items Kate is holding an auction
0:23:39 > 0:23:42in Herefordshire complete with outside catering
0:23:42 > 0:23:44which she's paid for out of her kitty.
0:23:44 > 0:23:50She's hoping this added touch will give her event an upmarket feel and persuade people to dig deep.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Right, we're getting there, I think, we're getting there.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57Time to start unloading.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01Jonty is holding a selling exhibition in his shop and to keep costs down
0:24:01 > 0:24:05his family and friends have all pitched in to help him with drinks and canapes.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Now, that looks very nice indeed.
0:24:08 > 0:24:13He's spoken to his guests about the items he'll be selling and given them ballpark figures,
0:24:13 > 0:24:15but none of them have seen the items
0:24:15 > 0:24:18so until the money's changed hands no deal is sealed.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20And then there was light!
0:24:20 > 0:24:25All the guests at both events will know The Hitman and Miss Bliss are raising money for charity
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and our experts are doing everything in their power to maximise their profits.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Excellent! Look, proper jewels!
0:24:31 > 0:24:37With both our rivals working hard to make their showdown events a success the pressure is mounting.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Only half an hour to go!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44But, as ever, The Hitman is cool, calm and collected
0:24:44 > 0:24:47and he's about to reveal his mystery item.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51This is a lovely English silver bowl.
0:24:51 > 0:24:56It's not particularly old, but it has a lovely style to it.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00Now what I'm going to do with this is I'm not going to sell it,
0:25:00 > 0:25:01I'm going to raffle it,
0:25:01 > 0:25:05and I'm to persuade everyone who walks in through the door
0:25:05 > 0:25:10to buy a raffle ticket so this is my trump card.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Very cunning, Mr Hearnden, very cunning indeed.
0:25:14 > 0:25:18The silver bowl set Jonty back £85,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21but he hopes his plan to sell it in a licensed raffle
0:25:21 > 0:25:23will give him a great return.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27And it seems great minds think alike because Miss Bliss has also
0:25:27 > 0:25:32organised a licensed raffle for a rather special bottle of champagne.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Speaking of Kate, her saleroom is packed to the rafters
0:25:36 > 0:25:40and the assembled great and good of Hereford are warming up for the main event.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43Oh, my goodness, I am really short of time.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46This is going to be the quickest change you have ever seen.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50Quickest change in history.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Well, I'm all set for my charity auction
0:25:52 > 0:25:54and I'm going to put my money where my mouth is.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Let's go and make some money!
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Well, our very own Wonder Woman is ready for action.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Kate's invited pretty much everyone in her contact book to her event
0:26:03 > 0:26:06and all that's left is for her to open proceedings.
0:26:06 > 0:26:09Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all very much for coming this evening.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13After the auction I'll do the raffle so don't go away.
0:26:13 > 0:26:17We have seven fantastic lots here this evening. Let's go on.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Lot number one is over there.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25It is this beautiful plated wine coaster.
0:26:25 > 0:26:30Remember, the 19th century silver-plated bottle coaster set Kate back £65.
0:26:30 > 0:26:34Will her eye for silver see her coast to a profit?
0:26:34 > 0:26:37What are we going to say for that, ladies and gentlemen?
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Start me at £200. Do I see £200? 100, then. Don't be shy.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42The first lot is always the cheapest.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47100 I have just before you. 110? 110. 110 I have.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49At 110 is standing.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51At 110. Do I see 120? At 120.
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Do I see 130? At 130. 130, thank you.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57130 the hand. At 130, don't be shy.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59At 130 is here. All done, then?
0:26:59 > 0:27:05All done and sold then at 130. Thank you very much, madam, over there.
0:27:05 > 0:27:09£130 gives Kate a £65 profit.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Having grown up as the daughter of an auctioneer,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14Kate is using all her auctioneering experience
0:27:14 > 0:27:19and with the scent of profit in the air she moves swiftly on to her next lot.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Lot number two, Toby, is the Georgian flame mahogany tea caddy.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Now this is a lovely little lot.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29It's not often you find these lovely Georgian tea caddies in such original condition.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It's got its two interior lids and a sweet little ivory escutcheon.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34What will we say for that?
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Start me at 100, ladies and gentlemen. It ought to be 100.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40You'd pay that in a saleroom. 100 is bid.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43At 100 right in front. Ladies are in. 110. 110. 120.
0:27:43 > 0:27:45120 I have. It's against you, sir.
0:27:45 > 0:27:46130.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49140. 140 I have. It's a lady. At 140.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51Do I see 50? At 140 it is you, madam.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54I won't rob you. At 140. In the front.
0:27:54 > 0:27:58150? 150 I see. At 150 fresh blood. 160.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01We've got family competition. 160. At 160 I'm bid.
0:28:01 > 0:28:05It's on the right at £160. All done?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07170. At 180, thank you. At 180.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10At 180. All done at £180?
0:28:10 > 0:28:14And I'm selling, all done and finished at 180.
0:28:16 > 0:28:22A sale price of £180 has turned a blistering profit of £120 for Kate.
0:28:22 > 0:28:27And there's more good news when her Victorian silver bonbon dish
0:28:27 > 0:28:31adds another £135 to her profit pot.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35For you, sir. 180, thank you very much.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38Her first three sales have given her a commanding lead but,
0:28:38 > 0:28:42when any great prizefighter is on the ropes they come out fighting
0:28:42 > 0:28:44and The Hitman is no different.
0:28:44 > 0:28:46His guests are beating a path to his door
0:28:46 > 0:28:49and Hearnden HQ is almost fit to burst.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54All that remains is for our genial gentlemen, Jonty, to get this party started.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57# I'm coming up
0:28:57 > 0:29:00# So you'd better get this party started. #
0:29:01 > 0:29:07As Jonty works the room there's interest in the barometer that cost him £120.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I've been looking for a barometer.
0:29:10 > 0:29:12I always wanted a barometer.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14My mother had a barometer in her house,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17I always coveted it, played with it, you know,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20as you do every time you go down the hall knocking it,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22and when she died it went to my niece
0:29:22 > 0:29:26so I haven't got a barometer and I've been looking for one for ages.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29- So you've been the barometerless... - I have indeed.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32- For a long time in your life. - It's terrible. Absolutely.
0:29:32 > 0:29:37The price, I'm looking for £200 for it, that's what I'm looking for.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39- You looked stunned.- Slightly.
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Is that your best deal?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43You know, it is a little damaged.
0:29:43 > 0:29:46Well, yes, there is... Actually, you're absolutely right.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48There's a little nick just off here.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52I didn't notice it when I bought it, it's been cleverly polished in.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Of course, if you want me to discount it I will,
0:29:55 > 0:29:57so what about 180?
0:29:59 > 0:30:00- Yes.- Yes?
0:30:00 > 0:30:02That sounds good to me. I really like it.
0:30:02 > 0:30:04- That's fantastic.- It's a deal.
0:30:04 > 0:30:06Now that's what you call fair weather!
0:30:06 > 0:30:10The barometer has added £60 to Jonty's kitty.
0:30:10 > 0:30:15He also bags a combined profit of £23 for his two pairs of cufflinks.
0:30:18 > 0:30:22The Hitman is also inviting sealed bids for his necklace.
0:30:22 > 0:30:25It's a popular way of maximising profits at charity events.
0:30:25 > 0:30:31As the bids come in he also bags £50 for his 1960s rhinestone bracelent.
0:30:31 > 0:30:35- Do you want to try it on? - I'd love to.- There we go.
0:30:35 > 0:30:36Seal it with a kiss.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Seal it with a kiss.
0:30:38 > 0:30:39And one for luck?
0:30:39 > 0:30:41Steady!
0:30:41 > 0:30:47In Herefordshire it's time for Kate's tree bench to go under the hammer.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49And now we go to lot number four,
0:30:49 > 0:30:51which is the biggest lot of this evening,
0:30:51 > 0:30:54it's right in the centre and this would be
0:30:54 > 0:30:56a super centrepiece for any garden, big or small,
0:30:56 > 0:30:58you've just got to find the tree.
0:30:58 > 0:31:02It might take quite a bit of time to grow it in the middle, but there we have it.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05It's the seat, it comes in two parts, obviously.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07It's Regency style with that lovely strap work top.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10Ladies and gentlemen, it ought to be £400.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Well, Kate might want £400 for the bench,
0:31:12 > 0:31:14but in order to make a profit
0:31:14 > 0:31:18she only needs the bidding to go higher than the £180 she paid.
0:31:18 > 0:31:22Start me at two and we'll start. £200 do I see? A 200 I'm bid.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24At 200. At 200, gentlemen in brown.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28220. Three bidders. 230. 240.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30At 240 is here. 250. At 250.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Four of you. 260. At 260 I'm bid.
0:31:32 > 0:31:33At 260.
0:31:33 > 0:31:38At 260. It's all gone quiet at 260. 270, fresh blood. At 280.
0:31:38 > 0:31:4090, sir? 290.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43At 290 right at the back. At 290.You can come back.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Do I see 300? Come on, gentlemen, round it up. 300 I have.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47At 300 in the middle.
0:31:47 > 0:31:51320. At 320, standing. At 320. Do I see 40?
0:31:51 > 0:31:52Thank you, right in the middle.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54At 340. 50 I'll do.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59At 340 it's in the middle. At £340. Do I see another 10?
0:31:59 > 0:32:01At £340 for the bench.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03At 340 then all done.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06I'm selling, it's had its time. For you, sir, thank you.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10That's another big sale and another big profit.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14And she follows it up with the sale of her nine carat gold lapel pin.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Where are you horse lovers? £80 and I'm selling.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19For you, sir, thank you.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23Oh, all of a sudden it's not quite so blissful for Kate.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27A £60 profit is her smallest so far.
0:32:27 > 0:32:30In Oxfordshire, Miss Bliss's rival is hoping the map
0:32:30 > 0:32:34which he bought for £155 will put him on the road to victory.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Now, John, what do you think about this map?
0:32:36 > 0:32:40It's great. The question is, where did you find it?
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- That's my secret.- Your trade secret. - My trade secret, yeah.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45I've got a cottage in Devon and I...
0:32:45 > 0:32:48Now, I thought you did. I knew that you had a cottage in Devon.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I can visualise a place to put it.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- Yes.- And it would go very nicely.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56- Do you think so?- So, the question is, how much do you want for it?
0:32:56 > 0:32:59The death is 250 quid. What do you think?
0:32:59 > 0:33:03- For a bit of old map?- It's just a...
0:33:03 > 0:33:07- Well, OK. Done.- That's brilliant. Thank you very much, John. Lovely.
0:33:07 > 0:33:08Thank you.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Nicely done, Mr H. That deal has secured him a £95 profit.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15There's more good news as there's interest in his bone chess set.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20I've got to sell this tonight. £300.
0:33:20 > 0:33:24Jonty, I thought I heard you quote £250 to somebody else earlier.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26Would I do such a thing, Mike?
0:33:26 > 0:33:28Yes, you would, I've known you for a long time.
0:33:30 > 0:33:31What about 275?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34You mean, you've only raised it by 25!
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- Being cheeky.- Yes.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39I think our son would really like this.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42You can spend pounds buying a contemporary chess set,
0:33:42 > 0:33:45but if you want something antique, quality,
0:33:45 > 0:33:50something that will last, something that will go through the generations of course you have to pay more.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52He's good, he's good.
0:33:52 > 0:33:53Done!
0:33:53 > 0:33:54THEY LAUGH
0:33:54 > 0:33:59That sale gives Jonty a further £115 in his profit pot.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Our two antiques grand masters are locked in a no-holds-barred battle
0:34:03 > 0:34:09but which one of them has been making the most profitable moves.
0:34:09 > 0:34:16Jonty has sold £855 worth of antiques and made £343 of profit.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19He's closed the gap on his rival, Kate,
0:34:19 > 0:34:26who's sold a total of £910 worth of items netting profits of £540.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Kate and Jonty have been locked in antiques combat all week
0:34:32 > 0:34:36and today's showdown challenge could still go either way.
0:34:36 > 0:34:41Remember Jonty's secret silver bowl which he decided to raffle?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43He's had his very own Debbie McGee, his wife, Toni,
0:34:43 > 0:34:47helping to sell raffle tickets in the shape of flowers at £20 each.
0:34:50 > 0:34:54We'll find out a little later how successful this tactic proved to be.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56And, speaking of tactics,
0:34:56 > 0:35:00another of Jonty's cunning plans has paid dividends.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04His modern jewellery collection has been selling like hotcakes.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07In total, the various items set him back £200
0:35:07 > 0:35:13and after a stampede of jewel-loving ladies he's turned a profit of £175.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19Kate still has items left to sell.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21On we go to the dress ring.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Now this really is a super piece.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28It's set with numerous diamonds and really good coloured emeralds,
0:35:28 > 0:35:32a really strong green colour, and it's quite a good size.
0:35:32 > 0:35:37Remember Kate's diamond and emerald ring cost her £60.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39Start me at 200. £200. 200 is very reasonable.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Lots of diamonds in there and emeralds.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45£200. Do I see 200? 150 then.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47100 I'm bid. 110. 110 I'm bid.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50120. 120, three of you. 130.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54140. 140 I'm bid this way. At 140.
0:35:54 > 0:35:55150, fresh blood.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59160. 170. 180. 190.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00190 I'm bid. At 190.
0:36:00 > 0:36:02One of you. 200.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04£200 and the price is still rising.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07This is fantastic auctioneering from Miss Bliss.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11220. 230. 240.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14250. 260. 270. 280.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17300. At £300. Fresh blood at 320.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19At 320 front row. At 320.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21May I see 40, sir?
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Don't duck down, that's not allowed!
0:36:24 > 0:36:26At 320 is front row.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29At £320. Front row has it then.
0:36:29 > 0:36:30All done? Selling at 320.
0:36:30 > 0:36:36£320 lands Kate a whopping £260 of profit
0:36:36 > 0:36:39and piles the pressure on to her rival.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42On we go. This is the very last chance you've got of taking
0:36:42 > 0:36:46an item away with you this evening, the very last lot, and here it is.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49It's this lovely silver-plated table lamp. It is Victorian.
0:36:49 > 0:36:53It has a cream shade which I think goes rather nicely.
0:36:53 > 0:36:56Beautifully cast with trailing acorns,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58which is actually rather unusual.
0:36:58 > 0:37:01So, the silver-plated lamp is Kate's final auction item.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03It cost her just £55,
0:37:03 > 0:37:07but the winning bidder should get it checked out by an electrician,
0:37:07 > 0:37:09and that will cost money,
0:37:09 > 0:37:12so she might struggle to make a huge profit.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Start me at 150. £150. Do I see 150?
0:37:15 > 0:37:18150 I'm bid. At 150 I'm bid. 160.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21170. At 170 in the middle. 180.
0:37:21 > 0:37:23180 I'm bid. At 180 is there.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26190. 190. Do I see two?
0:37:26 > 0:37:28You can't stop there. At £190. 200.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30At 200 right in the middle. At £200.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Do I see 210? At 210 I'm bid.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Right in the middle at £210.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Quite sure? There's my bidder right in the middle, you can all join in.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42At £210 then and I'm going to sell.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Thank you, Tony. £210.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Another profitable sale for Absolute Bliss.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51The lamp lights up the end of Kate's auction
0:37:51 > 0:37:54and drops another £155 in her kitty.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56That concludes the auction, thank you very much.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59I'm going to take a break for two minutes.
0:37:59 > 0:38:02If you haven't got a raffle ticket please do go and buy one,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05we're still selling them just near the door there
0:38:05 > 0:38:07and I'll see you in a moment. Thank you very much.
0:38:07 > 0:38:12Thanks to her extensive contacts book at her years of auctioneering experience,
0:38:12 > 0:38:17Kate has ensured a high turnout and pulled in some gigantic profits on her purchases.
0:38:17 > 0:38:21Her opponent has been charming his way to impressive profits
0:38:21 > 0:38:22and he's poised to announce
0:38:22 > 0:38:25the lucky winner of his solid silver dish.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28Right, without further ado, it's time to do the raffle first,
0:38:28 > 0:38:33so first of all can you check that you have got your numbers available, that you can see your numbers?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35OK.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Right, Toni, do you want to pluck a number?
0:38:38 > 0:38:40So long as it's 22.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Oh, the tension mounts!
0:38:45 > 0:38:48OK, here we go.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50Right, are you ready?
0:38:50 > 0:38:52It's number two and the number three,
0:38:52 > 0:38:54so it's 23.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57It's you! Oh!
0:39:02 > 0:39:04I've never won anything in my life!
0:39:04 > 0:39:05Come here.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- Darling, thank you.- Well, done.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Now, this is a solid silver bowl.
0:39:10 > 0:39:11Fantastic.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13All right?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15You can put your peanuts in there.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17Oh, I really wanted to win it.
0:39:17 > 0:39:18Well done.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Thank you.- Well done. That's brilliant. Fantastic.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24There you have it, one very lucky winner
0:39:24 > 0:39:29and the raffle generated profits of £175 for "The Hitman" Hearnden.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Right now, Jonty's snapping at Kate's heels in today's competition
0:39:32 > 0:39:37and he still has his sealed bids for the necklace left to reveal.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40Right, are we ready for the blind sealed bids?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47The winner is...
0:39:47 > 0:39:48Shirley.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Well done, Jonty!
0:39:50 > 0:39:54The Hitman's banked an impressive £150 profit on the necklace,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57but will it be enough to claim victory?
0:39:57 > 0:40:00His rival has one last trick up her sleeve.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Her swanky event may have cost her hundreds of pounds to put on,
0:40:04 > 0:40:09but all the assembled guests have been happily buying raffle tickets at £10 each.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Someone will be taking home a very nice bottle of champagne.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Have a good rummage.
0:40:18 > 0:40:19Have a look. Who've we got?
0:40:20 > 0:40:24The winner is Andrew Lampert.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Kate's gamble really paid off.
0:40:28 > 0:40:33Her raffle made a staggering £1,135 profit.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35Well, what a whirlwind that was! All the lots flew.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38In fact, I made money on every single one of them
0:40:38 > 0:40:41and it was great having the gavel back in my hand and selling.
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Tonight was a wonderful, wonderful evening.
0:40:45 > 0:40:47A big success.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49All I need now is a big sleep.
0:40:49 > 0:40:53With our experts' events wrapped up, all that remains is to reveal
0:40:53 > 0:40:57which of our duelling duo has made the biggest profit.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Both Jonty and Kate were allowed to spend
0:40:59 > 0:41:03up to £1,000 of their own money on items for their special events.
0:41:03 > 0:41:09Jonty spent £897 buying eight items for his selling exhibition.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14His rival, Kate Absolute" Bliss, spent a total of £850 on eight items
0:41:14 > 0:41:17and entertaining her guests at a charity auction.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24After a nail-biting showdown it's time to find out which of our experts
0:41:24 > 0:41:27has made the biggest profit from their special event.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31- Ah ha, Jonty!- Kate. This is it. - This is the showdown.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32This is the big one.
0:41:33 > 0:41:36Now, are we ready to do this? Shall we?
0:41:36 > 0:41:40- Come on, then.- OK, after three. One, two...
0:41:40 > 0:41:41Three!
0:41:41 > 0:41:43- Oh, look at that! - Wow! You whopped me!
0:41:45 > 0:41:46You beat me!
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Well, about time.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Kate, well done.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55Yes, that's a resounding victory for Miss Bliss, but we're not done yet.
0:41:55 > 0:42:00Kate and Jonty have been battling it out all week to raise money for their chosen charities,
0:42:00 > 0:42:05so it's time to find out who has made the biggest overall profit.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Well, shall we see who's won overall because it's going to be tight?
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- It's going to be so tight.- Ready?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14One, two, three!
0:42:15 > 0:42:19Oh, my goodness, I can't believe how close it is!
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- That's so close. - Look at that!- That is so close.
0:42:21 > 0:42:25That is less than £100 in it. Oh, well done, Jonty. Well done, you.
0:42:25 > 0:42:30- But we've both raised so much money. - That is great to give to my charity.
0:42:30 > 0:42:31Congratulations. Well done.
0:42:31 > 0:42:33- Well done, you.- That's brilliant.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36- Right!- Fantastic. - We have both done so well.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Do you know, it's been hard work, hasn't it?
0:42:38 > 0:42:42- I think we both deserve a huge celebration.- A huge celebration.
0:42:42 > 0:42:43- Come on, let's do it.- Let's.
0:42:43 > 0:42:48Well, Jonty might have emerged victorious by the narrowest of margins,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51but both experts made tremendous profits
0:42:51 > 0:42:54and all that cash will be going to their chosen charities.
0:42:54 > 0:43:00The money I've raised today will all go to Helen & Douglas House,
0:43:00 > 0:43:05which is a children and young adults hospice based in Oxford.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10I'm really pleased that over the whole week I've raised over £3,000
0:43:10 > 0:43:14and I can't wait to hand that over to the Herefordshire Alzheimer's Society.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18So, Kate and Jonty worked their socks off and rose admirably to the challenge.
