0:00:02 > 0:00:09How will the country's antiques experts fare when challenged to make a profit with their own cash?
0:00:09 > 0:00:15- I'll be switching on my bargain-ometer.- Knocker Knowles, I'm right on your heels!
0:00:15 > 0:00:21From car-boot sales to auction houses, our experts will recreate some of their real-life deals
0:00:21 > 0:00:27as they go head-to-head and try and make the most money for their chosen charities.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31- You watch out, Miss Bliss! - So the pressure is really on.
0:00:31 > 0:00:36The challenge to our experts is clear. Dealers, put your money where your mouth is.
0:01:05 > 0:01:09Today's experts are king of the ceramics world, Eric Knocker Knowles
0:01:09 > 0:01:13and the smooth-talking Charlie The Charmer Ross.
0:01:13 > 0:01:19Charlie is a true auction professional, having run his own Bedfordshire saleroom for 25 years.
0:01:19 > 0:01:25My most memorable sale would be an auction where the car started at about 3 million
0:01:25 > 0:01:29and eventually ended up selling at just over 8 million.
0:01:29 > 0:01:33It took about ten minutes to sell. It was thrilling for me.
0:01:33 > 0:01:38He's often seen sharing his knowledge on Flog It and the Antiques Roadshow.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Well, Eric, now you can see my daytime job.
0:01:43 > 0:01:49Eric's antiques know-how comes from 32 years working for one of London's top auction houses.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52I just love the hunt. I've never lost it.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56I'm very happy whether I'm at antique fairs or car boots.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It makes no difference. It's the thrill of the chase.
0:02:00 > 0:02:06He still works as an independent valuer and he is a regular member of the Antiques Roadshow team.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09I love having a rummage. I can't help it.
0:02:09 > 0:02:16I'll go into your front room, do a 360-degree turn and I'll have worked out what there is there.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21Our gents have hopped across the Channel for a continentally-themed challenge.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25It's time for us to find out exactly what that entails.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Ah, Monsieur Le Toc-Toc! - What is this "Le Toc-Toc"?
0:02:32 > 0:02:34It is French for "Knocker".
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Then you must be Monsieur Charmeur, yes?
0:02:38 > 0:02:44- C'est moi.- Here we are in la belle France and I have to give you "zis". - And I give you "zat".
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- OK, and I think if you go first... - I will try.
0:02:49 > 0:02:56"Eric and Charlie, your challenge today is to spend up to £750 of your own money on antiques.
0:02:56 > 0:03:02"You must then re-sell your purchases with the aim of making as much profit as possible.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06"The winner is the presenter who makes the most cash."
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Right, well, let's see.
0:03:08 > 0:03:15It says here, "Today, you must buy all your antiques from a French market."
0:03:15 > 0:03:18And it says there, "Bonny chancey(!)"
0:03:18 > 0:03:20"Bonne chance!"
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- But £750. I hope you've brought euros.- Of course.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- And so has "moi". - Oh, Monsieur Clever Clogs!
0:03:27 > 0:03:30No, I'm just an old Boy Scout. "Be prepared."
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Good luck, Eric.- Au revoir.
0:03:33 > 0:03:39So our British gents each have to spend up to £750 of their own cash buying antiques,
0:03:39 > 0:03:45which they'll then try to sell on for a profit when they get back to the UK.
0:03:45 > 0:03:50Almost everybody Charlie and Eric try to do deals with will know they're on a mission
0:03:50 > 0:03:56to raise as much money as possible for charity and our experts will do all they can to persuade people
0:03:56 > 0:04:02to give them the best prices when they buy and sell the items they hope will drive them to victory.
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Today's challenge will take place in the antiques markets of Paris.
0:04:07 > 0:04:11With a combination of street stalls and indoor boutiques to peruse,
0:04:11 > 0:04:14our experts have got plenty to search through.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Nice if you like cats.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22Zis is quite the nicest chapeau I have found 'ere, but it is too much money.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24350 euros?!
0:04:24 > 0:04:30To bag the best bargains, Charlie will rely on his mastery of the local language
0:04:30 > 0:04:33and his silver-tongued charm.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36- Pardon, madame...- Bonjour.- Bonjour.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40Eric, on the other hand, will be looking for some Art Deco pieces
0:04:40 > 0:04:46and he's hoping they'll have a red, flashing light above them to help him find them.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Do I need one? No.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54I've worked with one or two in my time.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Who could Knocker be referring to? I can't imagine.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Whilst Eric goes for wild animals, Charlie's got his hands on a more domestic beast.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06I've picked up on this, a couple of spelter dogs.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11I'd like to think late 19th century, but I think probably more like 1910.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16They are very well modelled. I'd like to think they were bronze, but they aren't.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20They would be hundreds of euros if they were bronze.
0:05:20 > 0:05:25- This poor chap has lost his tail. We can stick that on when we get home. Combien?- Quatre-vingts.
0:05:25 > 0:05:32I've asked him how much and he said "quatre-vingts" which is four times 20, which is 80. That's too much.
0:05:32 > 0:05:38- I think I'm going to offer him 20. Vingt euros, monsieur. - Non. Soixante si vous voulez.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- 60, coming down.- Very cheap. - Very cheap? Whose side are you on?
0:05:42 > 0:05:46What about trente? I'm trying 30.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Pour moi. Je suis anglais!
0:05:50 > 0:05:53- I'm English.- Ah, quelle horreur!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55- LAUGHTER - He didn't like that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59- Quarante if you want.- Quarante? - Quarante.- That's 40.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02I think there's a profit there at 40.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Monsieur...- It's OK?
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- It's OK. Merci, monsieur. Quarante euros.- Quarante, yes.- Excellent!
0:06:08 > 0:06:13Sticking to strategy, Mr Ross used his silky French-speaking skills
0:06:13 > 0:06:16to bag the spelter dogs for 40 euros,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20which at the current exchange rate is just under £38.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23He's clearly feeling at one with nature today
0:06:23 > 0:06:29because he has also snapped up a 19th-century parrot figurine for just under £19.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Now, who's a clever boy?
0:06:31 > 0:06:38The Charmer's having a whale of a time in this market and he's found a few more items to try on for size.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42# Allons enfants de la patrie... #
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Vive la France!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- MIMICS TOMMY COOPER: - Ha-ha-ha-ha. Ha-ha-ha.
0:06:48 > 0:06:5030 euro. 20 euro.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53It's a nice hat.
0:06:55 > 0:07:00# Thank heaven for "leetle" girls... #
0:07:00 > 0:07:03Ha-ha-ha. Bet you can't guess who I am!
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Good "moaning".
0:07:05 > 0:07:09He's wearing my hat. Cheeky bounder!
0:07:09 > 0:07:13OK, sir, we're taking off now. Come on, Knowles.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17It looks as if Charlie's successful buys have gone to his head.
0:07:17 > 0:07:23Whilst his rival continues to browse the stalls, he's pounced quickly on another potential purchase.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Beautiful 19th-century blotter.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I think that's a real work of art.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- Pardon, monsieur...- Oui? - C'est francais ou allemand?
0:07:32 > 0:07:36- C'est francais. C'est Napoleon III ou peut-etre...- Napoleon III?- Oui.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Quality doesn't come much better than that, but at 150 euros...
0:07:41 > 0:07:46It's well worth the money if you wanted to keep it, but I can't see a profit in it.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Charlie, where's that famous charm?
0:07:48 > 0:07:54Luckily, our smooth-talking gent can't resist chancing his luck with a haggle.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- Quatre-vingt-dix.- Non, quatre-vingts.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01- La marge n'est pas grosse. - Non, je sais...
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Allez-y, quatre-vingts.- Oui?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06- Merci, monsieur. - It looks like he's gone for it.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12I got a bit cheeky and I offered him 80 and he said "non", but he would take 100.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15I stuck with 80 and he said, "No, 90."
0:08:15 > 0:08:19And I stuck with 80 and I bought it for 80.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Quality, profit.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26Yes, that, ladies and gents, is what it's all about.
0:08:26 > 0:08:30The exchange rate means that 80 euros is just over £75.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Mr Ross is storming through this market,
0:08:34 > 0:08:41but after browsing stall after stall after stall, Knocker has decided to put his hand in his pocket.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43I think that's rather nice.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46This is part of a desk set.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50This is the blotter pad. Oh, it's got original blotting paper.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Date, what's that? That's going to be about 1900.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56And I like this design.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01I like anything with conkers on. It brings out the small boy in me.
0:09:01 > 0:09:09I'm mindful of the fact that it is actually Art Nouveau and I really am looking for Art Deco here, but...
0:09:10 > 0:09:15At 20 euros, I'm not even going to bother haggling. I'm having that.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18I think it's such a great piece of design
0:09:18 > 0:09:20and with the initials JB...
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Who do I know - JB, JB...?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25John Bly!
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yes, my colleague and mentor.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But I can see that on his desk.
0:09:31 > 0:09:36And every time he opens it, he'll think of moi!
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Fantastique!
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Mr Knowles has bagged himself an Art Nouveau blotter pad,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44spending almost £19.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48With Knocker trailing a long way behind his opponent,
0:09:48 > 0:09:52he needs to make some purchases and fast.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Unfortunately for Eric, Charlie has honed in on another potential purchase,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59and this one could have his adversary in checkmate.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05What a large chessboard! 1910, 1920.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Just into the 20th century.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Mahogany inlaid with boxwood
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and with ebony.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16And we'll just open it up
0:10:16 > 0:10:20and there is the baize backgammon interior.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24Little bit of moth damage, but not too bad.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28And the original counters, beautifully turned.
0:10:28 > 0:10:33They could polish up as well, I think. And the leather shakers.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35So it's pretty complete.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Un peu trop cher pour moi.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Trente euros?- Quarante.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44- Trente!- Quarante. - Oh, trente!- Quarante.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- Monsieur?- Quarante.
0:10:46 > 0:10:50- La derniere fois, trente-cinq. - Pas possible.- Trente-cinq?- Quarante.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53- Give me your hand. Quarante. - Quarante?- Good price.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57- Oh, quarante!- OK...- Monsieur!
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- Excellent.- Voila, super.
0:10:59 > 0:11:04Cinquante pour vous et dix pour moi.
0:11:04 > 0:11:09The dealer stood firm, but just under £38 is still a bargain price.
0:11:09 > 0:11:14Charlie is making friends with all the sellers and Knocker is beginning to worry.
0:11:14 > 0:11:20Do you know, that Charlie, I've not seen hide nor hair of him for absolutely ages.
0:11:20 > 0:11:26What worries me is that he's somewhere at the far end of this market packing his pantechnicon.
0:11:26 > 0:11:32Yes, he might be using big words, but unfortunately, he's not spending big money,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34unlike his rival, who's splashing the cash.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40Soixante euros.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45- Soixante?- Soixante.- That's 60. I think we're going to try 40.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Quarante?- Ah, non.- Non?
0:11:47 > 0:11:53- Pour moi? Je suis anglais. - Vous seriez breton, normand, c'est pareil. C'est pas quarante.
0:11:53 > 0:11:58He says wherever you come from, it's the same price, which is a bit of a disappointment.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- Peut-etre cinquante? - Bon, cinquante, oui.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- Cinquante?- Oui.- Excellent. 50, we've got a deal. Merci, Monsieur Norbert!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09When my wife has finished with these, they'll look fantastic.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12What a lucky lady Mrs Ross is!
0:12:12 > 0:12:16But at just over £47, the saucepans sound like a bargain.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22Elsewhere, Eric has spotted something with that all-important, red, flashing bargain light.
0:12:24 > 0:12:27Now, that is one very pretty vase.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32And without being clever, it's the sort of thing if you turn it upside down,
0:12:32 > 0:12:38you should know from the colours that have been used that it must be Scandinavian.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41And is it Copenhagen
0:12:41 > 0:12:43or is it Rorstrand?
0:12:43 > 0:12:49It's Copenhagen. It's all there on the base. It's what you'd expect - the wavy blue lines.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54And that design is just so very 1905, 1910.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57It's a delightful vase.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59But Copenhagen is difficult to sell.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03It's so under-appreciated. I promise you, it really is.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06That is very nice. What's the price on it?
0:13:06 > 0:13:11- 230 euro. I like it a lot. Excuse me, monsieur!- Yes?
0:13:11 > 0:13:16We have 230 euro. Is there a best price on this?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- A best price?- A best price. - Maybe it could be 200 euros.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24200 euros. I was thinking of an even better price.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- Even better? - Even better, even better.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- For you or for me?- For both of us.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34HE LAUGHS But primarily for me!
0:13:34 > 0:13:41It's not Art Deco, but ceramics king Eric has clearly fallen in love with the vase
0:13:41 > 0:13:43and he's in full haggling mode.
0:13:43 > 0:13:49On the street stalls, the Charmer has bought an unusual but pricey lamp.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51I think I've got a bargain here.
0:13:51 > 0:13:57I walked past it earlier and thought that man is going to be asking 300 or 400 euros, I won't even ask.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03I was pleasantly surprised when he said 250. I really wanted it for 150, tried like mad,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07tried 175, settled at 180, and I've just had a little bit of a bonus.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I was wondering how to get into it?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14It's been electrified. We'll take the gubbins out for the electricity
0:14:14 > 0:14:18and put a large candle in there, repaint it.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21Wouldn't it look sensational in a conservatory?
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Onward...
0:14:24 > 0:14:31Charlie's sealing deal after deal in today's market. Eric's working hard to get a pretty piece of porcelain.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35- 150?- 150 euros?- 150 euros. - Euros?- Euros.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- OK.- OK?- Yeah.- Put it there. - Thank you.- Thank you very much.
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- You're welcome.- One very nice vase.
0:14:44 > 0:14:50His heart melted at the sight of the vase and he splashed out over £140.
0:14:50 > 0:14:57He's clearly found a shop he likes and also bags a 1920s silver and glass tray for almost £85.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00What I see... I see a few nachos at each side
0:15:00 > 0:15:05and a little bit of a salsa dip or maybe a bit of guacamole there in the middle.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08I'm off to organise a house party.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12Well, it sounds as though Eric is getting into the swing of things,
0:15:12 > 0:15:16but just how much cash have he and his rival parted with?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20Both our treasure-hunting titans started the day
0:15:20 > 0:15:23with up to £750-worth of euros in their pockets.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30At the prevailing exchange rate, Knocker Knowles has spent just over £245,
0:15:30 > 0:15:34leaving him a little over £500 still to play with.
0:15:35 > 0:15:37But Charlie is still sealing deals
0:15:37 > 0:15:43and has smooth-talked his way into over £386-worth of purchases,
0:15:43 > 0:15:45leaving a little over £360 in his kitty.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51So both our experts still have plenty of cash in their pockets.
0:15:51 > 0:15:57Eric might not have bought as many items as his smooth-talking rival, but he can make up some ground
0:15:57 > 0:16:00because Charlie has got a little sidetracked.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03C'est tres jolie, madame. Oui.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08I'm selling now. The lady holding the stall is selling something else, so I'm working for her.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I might pick up a few euros.
0:16:10 > 0:16:16It might seem as though the Charmer has lost the plot, but it's all part of a cunning plan.
0:16:16 > 0:16:22After a bit of voluntary work, he's bagged a silver-plated jam pot for just under £25.
0:16:22 > 0:16:27And on the next stall, he spots an inlaid wooden notebook cover.
0:16:27 > 0:16:33It's only got a 20-euro price tag, but the Charmer is determined to get a discount, whatever it takes.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36- Voyez avec le monsieur... - Dix-huit, madame!
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Pour moi!
0:16:39 > 0:16:45She won't even take 18. She's the hardest lady in the world to deal with!
0:16:45 > 0:16:50Oh, I'm going to buy it for 20. There must be a two-euro profit in it.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Souvenir...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55of the hardest lady in France.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Merci, madame!
0:16:58 > 0:17:04At less than £19, the Italian olive and fruitwood notebook cover isn't going to break the bank.
0:17:04 > 0:17:09Elsewhere, Eric has seen something else that has taken his fancy.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11I'm quite excited to find this
0:17:11 > 0:17:16because this is a piece of Art Nouveau spelter.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Spelter is a sort of derivative...
0:17:18 > 0:17:23It's basically zinc. In other words, it's not bronze.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26But if you tap it, it gives a tinny sort of sound.
0:17:26 > 0:17:30Bronze would have more of a resonance. It would ring like a bell.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33But looking at it, it's all to do with nature.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37This vase is sort of evolving. I love that little beetle.
0:17:37 > 0:17:40Acorns on one side.
0:17:40 > 0:17:46If you turn it, we've gone Christmassy on the other side with holly and berries.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49It's seen better days, but something like this,
0:17:49 > 0:17:54it's not by a big name, so it's not the sort of thing that's going to be copied.
0:17:54 > 0:18:01It's right for age, but is it right for price? There's only one way to find out. Excuse me, monsieur!
0:18:01 > 0:18:05- Oui? Bonjour.- Combien? Combien? - Ah, the price - 50.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07Dernier prix?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Dernier?- Ah, the last price. You want to know the last price. - The very last price.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17- OK, I can do for you 40 euros. - 40 euros, monsieur...- Is OK?- Is OK.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- OK.- Yeah. Excellent.
0:18:19 > 0:18:24So, Art Nouveau rather than Art Deco seems to be the flavour of the day for Eric.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27And at less than £38, he's pleased with the vase.
0:18:27 > 0:18:33He'd better keep his cool, though, because his rival is squaring up for battle.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Eric, I am the greatest and I'm coming to get you.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41I'm going to knock you out with a quick purchase and another purchase
0:18:41 > 0:18:44and another purchase and two more to the body
0:18:44 > 0:18:48and Eric, you are on the...floor!
0:18:48 > 0:18:50Fighting talk from the Charmer.
0:18:50 > 0:18:55He's in confident mood and he's looking to land a knock-out blow on Burnley's finest.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01Oh, that's nice. That's very nice.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05It is a lovely Daum vase,
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Daum, of course, made down there in Nancy
0:19:08 > 0:19:11in the Alsace-Lorraine region.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16And that is a classic piece of Art Deco.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I love this glass. That colour, that smoky grey.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23I'm not getting too excited until I know for a fact that it's all there
0:19:23 > 0:19:26cos you're looking for internal cracks.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30This stuff doesn't come cheap. It never did.
0:19:30 > 0:19:34There's the mark, look, just to confirm it. "Daum, Nancy, France."
0:19:34 > 0:19:37So the question is, can I afford it?
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Let me just find the "owneur".
0:19:39 > 0:19:43Excusez-moi, monsieur. Combien, le prix?
0:19:43 > 0:19:45Huit cents euros.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Huit cents, that's about 800 euros.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Le dernier prix? Le dernier prix?
0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Cinq cents euros, dernier prix. - Cinq cents? OK, that's about...
0:19:56 > 0:20:01We started off there at 800, we've gone down to 450... Hmm...
0:20:01 > 0:20:05Hmm, indeed! This sounds like an awful lot of money to spend on one item.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Inside, the Charmer is lining up a big potential purchase.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13What a delightful frame!
0:20:13 > 0:20:15French, Charles X,
0:20:15 > 0:20:18about 1830.
0:20:18 > 0:20:22It's rosewood, marquetry inlaid in satinwood.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Priced up at 350 euros,
0:20:25 > 0:20:27so you'd think 200 euros would buy it,
0:20:27 > 0:20:34but sadly, the man I've just been trying to buy it off had bought it from his neighbour just over there
0:20:34 > 0:20:38and paid him 250, so there was little likelihood of me being able to buy it for 200.
0:20:38 > 0:20:44I'm not entirely sure how Mr Ross is going to get a good discount on this frame,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48but never underestimate the Charmer's powers of persuasion.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Eric is trying to seal the deal for the Daum vase.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54Le dernier, dernier prix?
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Je vous enleve vingt euros. Quatre cents quatre-vingt. Voila!
0:20:58 > 0:21:03OK, OK. Oui. At that price... Yes, I think we're going to say yes to that.
0:21:03 > 0:21:08That works out at about £450, so to be frank with you, I think we're quids in.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- Monsieur, monsieur...- OK.- Voila.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Eric has just spent a huge chunk of his budget on the vase,
0:21:14 > 0:21:19but the good news is he's bagged a quality piece of Art Deco glass.
0:21:19 > 0:21:27With time almost up, has Charlie been able to get a good price for that quality rosewood frame?
0:21:27 > 0:21:29I went back, pleaded with the man
0:21:29 > 0:21:33and he let me have it at cost - 250 euro,
0:21:33 > 0:21:36which is about £235.
0:21:36 > 0:21:41I think there's a slim profit there, so all's well that ends well.
0:21:41 > 0:21:48Yet again Charlie's charm-offensive strategy has done him proud and he's bought a very elegant item.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53Our two messieurs took two very different approaches to today's continental challenge,
0:21:53 > 0:21:58but with the buying over, who has spent the most cash?
0:21:59 > 0:22:03Both started out with up to £750-worth of euros.
0:22:03 > 0:22:08Eric has splashed the cash and spent almost his entire kitty.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10At the prevailing exchange rate,
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Charlie has parted with just over £665.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Our gents have plenty of packing to do before they head back to Blighty.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24First, they want to check out each other's treasures.
0:22:24 > 0:22:29Charlie, 'ow was eet for you? This was your first time buying in Paris.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32It was. And for me, Eric, eet was wonderful!
0:22:32 > 0:22:38- Listen, what I want to know is what's your favourite? - Without doubt, my blotter.
0:22:38 > 0:22:43- That's lovely.- 1860. Whoever was on the throne over here.- Lovely thing.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Fabulous.- Yes.- What about you?
0:22:46 > 0:22:50I think my best buy is my Daum vase. I hope it is, anyway.
0:22:50 > 0:22:53But my favourite buy, believe it or not, is that.
0:22:53 > 0:22:59I thought that was a treasure of a vase. Copenhagen, not the best of sellers back home.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- A bit old-fashioned, isn't it? - Well...- My granny would love that.
0:23:04 > 0:23:11I mean, in retaliation, what about that? What on earth possessed you to buy a green parrot?
0:23:11 > 0:23:15The colour. I think it's absolutely charming.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20- And that is going to fly away! - Ha-ha! In your dreams, I think.
0:23:20 > 0:23:24- Anyway, what about a drink?- Yeah. - Excusez-moi, garcon!
0:23:24 > 0:23:29So Knocker is heading home with a German silver and glass tray,
0:23:29 > 0:23:32an Art Nouveau Copenhagen vase,
0:23:32 > 0:23:34a blotting pad initialled JB,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37an Art Nouveau spelter vase
0:23:37 > 0:23:41and that magnificent Art Deco Daum glass vase.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Whereas Charlie will be trying to sell a set of five copper saucepans,
0:23:46 > 0:23:48a 19th-century blotting stamp,
0:23:48 > 0:23:51a silver-plated jam pot,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53a spelter desk sculpture,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56an inlaid notebook cover from Sorrento,
0:23:56 > 0:24:02a 19th-century painted model parrot, a boxed walnut backgammon and chess set,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05an unusual metal standard lamp
0:24:05 > 0:24:07and an inlaid rosewood frame.
0:24:11 > 0:24:16Back on English soil and our two battling bargain hunters
0:24:16 > 0:24:22now have to sell their purchases for as much profit as possible, but how did they rate their trip?
0:24:22 > 0:24:29I had a fantastic time in France. Really enjoyed it, probably even more than old Knocker.
0:24:29 > 0:24:35The thing I'm a little bit worried about is that frame. It's a good frame, lovely quality,
0:24:35 > 0:24:37but I think it was a bit too much.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41If I can double my money all the way round, I'll be doing well,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46so well that, if you're watching, Charlie Ross, be afraid.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49In fact, be very afraid.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Oh, fighting talk, Knocker!
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Eric's sounding confident about his double-your-money strategy
0:24:55 > 0:25:00and with mainly glass and porcelain to sell, he's in his comfort zone.
0:25:00 > 0:25:05Both will be pulling out all the stops to find the right buyers
0:25:05 > 0:25:11and they're working the way through their little black books for deals.
0:25:11 > 0:25:17But until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:25:17 > 0:25:22I've come to just the right place with my backgammon set.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25A restorer who likes a bargain.
0:25:25 > 0:25:29Good quality, needs a little bit of work, and it's cheap.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33Charlie paid almost £38 for the backgammon set.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38- Want to have a look inside? - Certainly.- You're tempted?- I am! - Good man.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42Original catches either side. Look at that!
0:25:42 > 0:25:44- Original baize.- Yes.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- A little bit stained, but quite fun. - I think it's very nice.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49How much do you want?
0:25:49 > 0:25:50£100.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56- OK, deal.- That's the quickest deal I've ever done! That's fantastic.
0:25:57 > 0:26:03Just over £62 in the bank is a real result. Nicely done, Mr Ross.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I knew he'd find that irresistible. £100!
0:26:10 > 0:26:16Well, he's a happy man, but there's a long way to go and Knocker Knowles is hot on his heels.
0:26:16 > 0:26:20Eric paid almost £38 for the spelter vase,
0:26:20 > 0:26:24so will he be able to put his double-your-money plan into action?
0:26:24 > 0:26:29- Let me show you the piece I told you about on the telephone. - I'm excited to see it!
0:26:29 > 0:26:34- Ah, there we go. It doesn't get more organic than that.- Crikey!
0:26:34 > 0:26:38That's...that's quite spectacular.
0:26:38 > 0:26:44- You've probably noticed that it's still got its original liner. - So you could put a pot plant in.
0:26:44 > 0:26:50- Yeah.- Rather than a bunch of flowers. - It's in what you would describe as perfect working order.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54A bit like a clock, really. Anyway, as I said to you,
0:26:54 > 0:26:59I'm looking for no more than £80 on it. If you're happy with that...
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- Deal.- OK! - All right, Eric.- Excellent.
0:27:03 > 0:27:07Mr Knowles more than doubled his money, making a profit of over £40.
0:27:07 > 0:27:13Impressive stuff, Knocker. Will your opponent have similar success at his next appointment?
0:27:13 > 0:27:20I'm on my way to see Paolo and Giovanni, Italians I've known for years. They came to my sale room.
0:27:20 > 0:27:27I've got a couple of things, particularly the blotter, that they might be interested in.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31They're staying in a hotel, but they go back tomorrow morning,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34so we've got to catch them now.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39Good luck, Signor Ross. I hope the dealers fall in love with your purchases.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42Time to turn on that famous charm.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46# When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
0:27:46 > 0:27:49# That's amore
0:27:50 > 0:27:52# When the world... #
0:27:52 > 0:27:56- Paolo! Giovanni! - Charlie!- How are you?
0:27:56 > 0:28:01- Not too bad.- How nice to see you! Mind your head! Great to see you.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04- You're enjoying an English pub.- Yes.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- I've got some nice things. Do you like that?- Hmm, very nice.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10How about buying it? £300.
0:28:12 > 0:28:19- Charlie, for me it's very expensive. - Expensive? How much do you want to pay for it?- 150.
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- 150?!- Sorry, sorry. Charlie, sorry.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25- It's too much?- I think yes.
0:28:25 > 0:28:29- It's a very beautiful piece. - Let me try something else.
0:28:29 > 0:28:34- Not the best start, but the Charmer isn't one to give up easily. - How about that?
0:28:34 > 0:28:38- That's lovely. Lovely quality. - It's French.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's French. Charles X.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- How much you want?- £150.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44Sold?
0:28:44 > 0:28:47- My price for that...- Yes?
0:28:47 > 0:28:49..70.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51That's less than half.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54Let me try something else. Olive wood?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Olive wood.- And what is this here?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Pear.- Pear wood.
0:29:01 > 0:29:05- You like it?- Yes. - It's very cheap.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07- £40.- £40?
0:29:07 > 0:29:09£40, maybe.
0:29:09 > 0:29:13- For the two?- I'm going to be really kind to you, because I like you.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16£120 for the two.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18- OK.- Not too bad.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- Can you do that?- Not too bad, Charlie.- Give me your hand, yes?
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Fantastic!
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Grazie.- Grazie!
0:29:27 > 0:29:33The Italian buyers drove a hard bargain and Charlie walks away with little more than £25 of profit
0:29:33 > 0:29:35and the unwanted frame.
0:29:35 > 0:29:41There's better news for Mr Ross when his silver-plated jam pot sells at a local auction house,
0:29:41 > 0:29:43topping up his profits by over £32.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47The Charmer is in the lead, but don't underestimate Knocker.
0:29:47 > 0:29:54He's lined up a potential purchaser for his glass tray, which cost him almost £85.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56Can he double his money again?
0:29:56 > 0:30:00- I've got a piece of WMF.- Mmm!
0:30:00 > 0:30:02And...
0:30:02 > 0:30:07Some small chips on the top. I was going to have them ground down,
0:30:07 > 0:30:13but as I was passing, I thought I'd give you first refusal on it.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18- What sort of date would you put on it?- It's about 1900, 1905.
0:30:18 > 0:30:26- Yeah.- It's on the market... I was looking for something round about £170.- OK.
0:30:26 > 0:30:30I think with the flea bites I might be looking for a bit better.
0:30:30 > 0:30:35Well, a bit better... would probably be about 150.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40Yeah, OK. That's fair. It's lovely quality glass. That's fine.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44- Thanks again.- I'll leave you to it. - Right, see you soon.- Bye.
0:30:44 > 0:30:49Knocker didn't quite double his money, but made a healthy profit.
0:30:49 > 0:30:55His opponent, though, is about to unveil his newly-restored and rather tropical lamp.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02# Club Tropicana, drinks are free
0:31:02 > 0:31:06# Fun and sunshine There's enough for everyone... #
0:31:09 > 0:31:16As a favour to Mr Ross, the restorers have removed the rust and given it a base coat for free.
0:31:16 > 0:31:22But it cost almost £170 in the first place, so I hope the potential buyer likes tropical chic.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26- A bit different, isn't it? - Very nice, very nice.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- I'm really thrilled with it.- Yes.
0:31:29 > 0:31:34- They haven't wired it up yet.- No. - But you want it wired up, don't you?
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- Yes!- You won't just put a candle in there?- No, no, no, a bulb.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41If you buy it, I will get it wired up.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Let's say 300.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45I just think it's worth more than that. £350.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- How about that?- 325.
0:31:50 > 0:31:53- As it is, but wired.- Yes.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57- Go on.- Thank you. Very good.
0:31:57 > 0:32:04Wow! That's a fantastic result. Charmer Ross has just banked a fabulous profit of over £155.
0:32:04 > 0:32:08That sale puts him in pole position for the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is crown.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Very good! I shall look forward to it.- Thanks. Bye!
0:32:14 > 0:32:20I thought there was a profit in that lamp when I bought it. Should I have asked a bit more?
0:32:20 > 0:32:23But 325 is a profit of £150 or so.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Quite good.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Charlie's being a little modest.
0:32:28 > 0:32:36That sale was more than just quite good. And he also got the lamp professionally wired for free!
0:32:37 > 0:32:42Now Eric Knocker Knowles has made sales totalling £230
0:32:42 > 0:32:46and has almost £110 of profit in his pocket,
0:32:46 > 0:32:52which means that Charlie has taken an early lead with a whopping £611 of goods sold
0:32:52 > 0:32:56and a profit of just over £275.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Eric may be trailing behind, but he's still got his star item to sell.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07He paid over £450 for the Daum vase and hopes to double his money.
0:33:07 > 0:33:14He's looking for a buyer with taste, style and a healthy bank balance, so must do some legwork.
0:33:14 > 0:33:21The Charmer is on his way to try to tie up another sale. The restorer working on his spelter dogs
0:33:21 > 0:33:28is interested in buying them, but until the money has changed hands, the deal isn't sealed.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30# Walking the dog
0:33:30 > 0:33:33# Just a-walking the dog... #
0:33:33 > 0:33:36- Charlie!- Geoff, how are you? - Come on in. They're ready.- Thanks.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39- There you go.- That's fantastic!
0:33:39 > 0:33:40How long did that take?
0:33:40 > 0:33:44- All in all, a few hours. - That's wonderful.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Will you make me an offer for them?
0:33:47 > 0:33:50100 quid?
0:33:50 > 0:33:54I'd have expected to pay 100 quid for that so let's shake on it. That's fantastic.
0:33:54 > 0:34:01So the restorer has repaired the spelter dogs and he and Charlie have struck a deal
0:34:01 > 0:34:04that gives a profit of over £60.
0:34:04 > 0:34:07- Thanks a lot, Geoff.- You're welcome. - All the best.- See you soon.
0:34:07 > 0:34:13Charlie is securing sales, but Knocker is not done yet and brings out the big guns.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19He's headed to a village in Essex with the Copenhagen vase which cost him over £140 in France.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- Hello, Robbie.- Hello, Eric. - Nice to see you.- And you, too.
0:34:24 > 0:34:30- I brought the Copenhagen.- Lovely. - Let me give it to you like that, pull it straight out.
0:34:30 > 0:34:35- Oh, Eric, that is lovely.- I thought so.- That's very, very nice.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40The mark tells you that it's got to be before 1910.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- I just thought it was ceramic perfection.- I love that.
0:34:43 > 0:34:48- Can I put it down there?- Yeah, do. - See it in all its glory.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52- Isn't that lovely? - But it's looking for a good home.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Well, I think you've found it. - Have I? Good.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59A fellow enthusiast! Time to talk money.
0:34:59 > 0:35:04I've got to be firm about this one. It's a one-and-only price, OK?
0:35:04 > 0:35:07It has to see me with £200.
0:35:07 > 0:35:13Eric, if you're asking me 200, it's cos that's what it's worth.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16- I absolutely trust your judgment. - Oh, good.
0:35:17 > 0:35:23Almost £60 profit isn't bad, but what happened to your double-your-money plan?
0:35:23 > 0:35:29Will our Lancashire hero manage to stick closer to his strategy with the blotting pad?
0:35:29 > 0:35:34- This is the blotter! - The blotter you told me about.
0:35:34 > 0:35:41I was in a Paris flea market, I see this, then the initials and I'm thinking...JB, JB...
0:35:41 > 0:35:45- And, of course, there's only one JB. - I'm very pleased. That's lovely.
0:35:45 > 0:35:53Let's have a look inside. They make the covers and put them on professionally-produced interiors.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55A lot were done by amateurs.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00- Really?- Yeah, sure. Better than a vicar's carving class!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03- I'll give you 35 quid for it. There you are.- 35?- Yeah.
0:36:03 > 0:36:09- We go back. You're my mother's favourite and her mother's before that.- I know!- Whatever.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13- 35 quid.- All right, Eric. - It's a done deal.- OK.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17- Thank you for thinking of me. - That's more profit for Eric.
0:36:17 > 0:36:21He's just got one item left to sell.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26It's the impressive Daum vase, which he hopes for a massive profit on.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30He's waiting for a call from a potential buyer.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33In Oxfordshire, his rival is hoping for another sale
0:36:33 > 0:36:36and has met up with a pub landlord that he knows.
0:36:36 > 0:36:41- Look what I've got for you! - You've been at the scrap merchant's!
0:36:41 > 0:36:44- They're in pretty good condition. - Great. Lovely.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46- And I thought you, pub.- Yeah.
0:36:46 > 0:36:51- Would they look good hanging up? - I know where they're going to go.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54If the price is right. CHARLIE LAUGHS
0:36:55 > 0:36:57I'd like a couple of hundred really.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03- You're breaking my heart, Charlie. - One, two, three, four, five of them. Forty quid a pan.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- I think that's a bit rich.- Do you?
0:37:06 > 0:37:10- We'd settle on around 35, I think. - What, per pan?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12- Oh, dear, dear.- For the lot?!- Yeah!
0:37:12 > 0:37:13You crook!
0:37:15 > 0:37:20- How about 65 quid? - They've got to be worth more. I'm prepared to come down a bit.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22150 quid?
0:37:24 > 0:37:28I don't want to make you sweat too much.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29I'll do you for a ton ten.
0:37:30 > 0:37:37- 110?- Yeah. I think that's a good deal. There's a lot of work putting holes in walls and things.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40- Unless you're...- That is...! Go on, 110 quid! Fantastic.
0:37:42 > 0:37:46Nicely done, Mr Ross. That's more profit for the kitty.
0:37:46 > 0:37:52Charlie's stormed ahead in today's challenge, but with the end of the contest in sight,
0:37:52 > 0:37:57he suddenly stumbles. He pockets a very slim profit for his parrot
0:37:57 > 0:38:03and makes a loss of more than £35 on his most expensive purchase - the ornate rosewood frame.
0:38:03 > 0:38:06Mr Ross is now all sold up.
0:38:06 > 0:38:12Knocker's chances of victory rest on his striking Daum vase.
0:38:12 > 0:38:17With pound signs in his eyes, he's headed to a rather posh part of the capital.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19# Money
0:38:21 > 0:38:23# It's a gas
0:38:23 > 0:38:29# Grab that cash in both hands and make a stash... #
0:38:29 > 0:38:34Our northern gent sent the vase ahead for the buyer to have a look.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39When he spoke to the shop on the phone, Eric gave them a ballpark figure of the price he wanted,
0:38:39 > 0:38:45but until they've shaken on it, the deal isn't done.
0:38:47 > 0:38:51- Good afternoon, sir. Nice to see you again.- Thank you.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55- Hello. Are you Claire?- Yes. Hello. Welcome to the store. - Nice to meet you.
0:38:55 > 0:39:00It's palatial in here, isn't it? It is quite breathtaking.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05- Yes, it's very special indeed. - Has my special vase arrived?
0:39:05 > 0:39:07It has, yes. Come and have a look.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11- Is it safe and sound?- Yes. We've got a special place for it.
0:39:12 > 0:39:15Now I have to admit, Claire,
0:39:15 > 0:39:21- that that vase looks so dramatic there.- It does, doesn't it? Thank you very much.
0:39:21 > 0:39:23We're very pleased with it.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28- Good. That was going to be my first question. Do you like it?- Yes.
0:39:28 > 0:39:34It's amazing how well it's fitted in, a 1930s piece with modern-day Daum.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38- It just looks fantastic. The team were really pleased with it.- Good.
0:39:38 > 0:39:44I have to admit, I'm a bit of a fan. I've been to the factory in Nancy and I've seen how it's made
0:39:44 > 0:39:49and I've followed the history. I give talks about the history.
0:39:49 > 0:39:54But when it comes to art glass, certainly in the Art Deco period,
0:39:54 > 0:39:59nobody does it better than Daum.
0:39:59 > 0:40:03- So, em, I mean, we had a telephone conversation.- We did.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05- Yes, indeed.- And I did make it clear
0:40:05 > 0:40:08- that I was looking for £1,000 on this piece.- £1,000.
0:40:08 > 0:40:13He's gone in for the kill. £1,000 would give Eric a resounding victory,
0:40:13 > 0:40:20but as the vase cost him over £450, if his asking price scares off the buyer, he has a massive loss!
0:40:20 > 0:40:24We'll find out very shortly what happened.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Right now, it's time to tot up how much profit our warriors made
0:40:28 > 0:40:33and reveal which one of them will be crowned today's winner.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37Eric splashed out over £735 in the Parisian market.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41His opponent, though, spent over £665.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46Remember, all their profits today will be going to charity.
0:40:46 > 0:40:51Now, both our gents have worked their socks off and after a titanic tussle
0:40:51 > 0:40:55it's time to find out who is today's champion.
0:40:55 > 0:41:01- I feel compelled to say allo, allo, Charlie.- Bonjour! - 'ow was eet for you?
0:41:01 > 0:41:06- Very difficult. To the extent that I made a loss on one lot.- Oh, no!
0:41:06 > 0:41:12- Dare I ask what that was? - Remember a rosewood frame? Beautifully inlaid...- Yes!
0:41:12 > 0:41:16I thought it was a picture frame. Do you know what it was?
0:41:16 > 0:41:23- Tell me.- It was to go round the face of a Comtoise clock. If you don't have a Comtoise clock, useless!
0:41:23 > 0:41:27- Ah!- Tell me about your vase. - I'm not going to say too much.
0:41:27 > 0:41:34- I hope the profit may be reflected in this little box.- I remember you looking at that and thinking,
0:41:34 > 0:41:37"I might even double my money."
0:41:37 > 0:41:42- We'll have to find out in a moment. - Come on.- Let's go for it.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Voila!- Sacre bleu!
0:41:46 > 0:41:50Eric, you have, 'ow you say, thrashed me!
0:41:50 > 0:41:53Within an eench of your life!
0:41:53 > 0:41:59- That's a really good performance. Well done.- Not bad.- For an English speaking gentleman, remarkable.
0:41:59 > 0:42:04- Come on. I'll take you off for a meal.- Good lad. OK.
0:42:05 > 0:42:09So Knocker Knowles fought his way to victory and it was
0:42:09 > 0:42:14the much-loved Art Deco Daum vase that led him to success.
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Sticking with my original asking figure, is that acceptable?
0:42:18 > 0:42:24- Absolutely. I think we will shake on that. - We'll definitely shake on that.
0:42:24 > 0:42:29Knocker more than doubled his money, which made him champion,
0:42:29 > 0:42:35but both our experts made sizeable profits and every penny they made will go to their good causes.
0:42:35 > 0:42:41My chosen charity is the Prince's Trust. I've been an ambassador for 15 years.
0:42:41 > 0:42:47My chosen charity is CLIC Sargent, a national charity looking after children with leukaemia.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51So, after a slow start, Eric stormed to victory,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54but tomorrow our experts go head-to-head again
0:42:54 > 0:42:56in a final antique-buying showdown.
0:42:56 > 0:42:58Oh, ho ho.
0:42:58 > 0:43:04This makes this probably one of the most rare David Shepherd signed prints.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07I really like the look of this. A bit of glamour!
0:43:07 > 0:43:15Our experts can buy whatever they want from wherever they want and sell them at one-off events.
0:43:15 > 0:43:181,200. 1,300. 1,300. 1,400?
0:43:18 > 0:43:21For the last time. Speak now.
0:43:21 > 0:43:23It's yours, madame!
0:43:23 > 0:43:30For the final time this week, we'll be saying to our experts - put your money where your mouth is!
