0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is showdown,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08- the greatest challenge our experts have ever faced.- Fantastic.
0:00:08 > 0:00:15In just 48 frantic hours, our duelling dealers each will have to source, buy and then sell
0:00:15 > 0:00:22an entire stall's worth of antiques, testing their knowledge, stamina and nerve to the absolute limit.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23That's it.
0:00:23 > 0:00:29Coming up - we'll give you an inside view of the highs and lows of successful dealing.
0:00:29 > 0:00:37Absolutely, I'm just over the moon, I'm really ecstatic by the whole thing. Perfect profit, profit.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Our experts reveal the different strategies that can lead to victory.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45I'm even more delighted that Jonty is probably running around like a headless chicken
0:00:45 > 0:00:49to Oxfordshire while I'm going to be sitting at the bar waiting for him.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53And how to put the pressure on when you need to seal the deal.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I'm begging you, please buy my mirror.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Today, it's the final battle between Jonty "The Hitman" Hearden
0:01:14 > 0:01:18and Mark "The Maverick" Stacey.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Throughout the week they have been fighting it out to see who
0:01:19 > 0:01:24can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.
0:01:24 > 0:01:27A hunter of old antiques.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31But now it's time to find out what they'll be taking on today.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35The most difficult challenge of their dealing careers.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38"Mark Stacey, this is your showdown.
0:01:38 > 0:01:40The challenge is simple..." Oh, I like simple.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44"You have today to buy antiques and collectibles from wherever you like.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48"Tomorrow you must sell your items off a stall at Spitalfields Antiques Market,
0:01:48 > 0:01:53"in direct competition with your opponent, Jonty Hearden."
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Both our duelling dealers will have up to £1,000 of their own money
0:01:56 > 0:02:03to spend and the winner of this challenge will be the one who makes the most profit.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06"By 6pm today you must finish your buying then travel to
0:02:06 > 0:02:09"your hotel where you will meet up with your opponent Mr Mark Stacey.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14"You will find suggestions for places where you can buy your items
0:02:14 > 0:02:19"together with details of tomorrow's market in your information pack. Good luck.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21"That's a really tough challenge."
0:02:21 > 0:02:26Our duelling dealers have got up to £1,000 of their own money to spend
0:02:26 > 0:02:30and one day to buy up an entire stall's worth of antiques.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Tomorrow, they'll be selling the whole lot in direct competition
0:02:33 > 0:02:37to the discerning shoppers at London's Spitalfield Market.
0:02:37 > 0:02:43The stalls at Spitalfield sell antiques, fashion, jewellery and bric a brac, a unique fusion
0:02:43 > 0:02:51of the old and the new that draws an eclectic mix of funky urbanites, professionals, and tourists.
0:02:51 > 0:02:57For The Maverick and The Hitman, the key to winning this challenge lies in knowing their market.
0:02:57 > 0:03:03Now my strategy I think to tackle this problem is to pick up on the points in that notebook
0:03:03 > 0:03:08because it says there that the audience, or the buyers, that tend to be sort of younger, trendy,
0:03:08 > 0:03:12probably people who have got their own apartments, they want something a bit funky, a bit edgy.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14Well, that's going to be a bit of a problem for you, Jonty, they're not going to want a little bit of
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Victorian nursing chair. Oh, what a shame.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Ooh, fighting talk from The Maverick.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23But as he gets packed, he better not get too cocky.
0:03:23 > 0:03:30He's not the only one applying years of experience and know-how to come up with a match-stealing strategy.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34It's my experience of Spitalfields that really, vintage clothing sells very well there.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Well, in fact it's a combination of vintage clothing and contemporary designs.
0:03:39 > 0:03:45What I really do need to find is somewhere out there today that is selling vintage clothing.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Now that is a really tough challenge.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53Well, that's one heck of a bold strategy from The Hitman.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Our favourite furniture expert has decided to turn his back on his area
0:03:56 > 0:04:02of expertise and boldly voyage into the unknown world of retro fashion?
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Both our experts now have less than nine hours to buy
0:04:07 > 0:04:10enough items to fill their stalls and then get to the hotel in London.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14But where are they going to buy?
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Quarter past ten.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Eight hours or so counting down.
0:04:19 > 0:04:24Driver, upper St James street please, Brighton.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30So the game is on. The Maverick is making a beeline for the antiques buying centre of Brighton.
0:04:30 > 0:04:35His mission, to pick up funky pieces that he thinks will appeal to the buyers at Spitalfields.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39The Hitman is racing to an auction.
0:04:39 > 0:04:47His plan is to buy up retro clothing to stitch up his opponent and sew up today's showdown challenge.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Buying at auction is a really good place to start today because
0:04:51 > 0:04:54it's where a lot of dealers go to buy their stock.
0:04:54 > 0:05:00This auction room is about an hour and a half away, which means
0:05:00 > 0:05:04I'm putting a lot of eggs into one basket, because I have no plan B at the moment.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08In this race against time, every second counts.
0:05:08 > 0:05:13It's going to take Jonty over an hour to get to his auction so it's Mark
0:05:13 > 0:05:18who's got an immediate advantage - he's heading just down the road.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Boys and girls, this is where the party starts.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Look, there's the money, this is my first shop.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I am looking for some bargains to sell at a fair tomorrow.
0:05:27 > 0:05:33So The Maverick is off, seeking out the pieces that he thinks will sell best at Spitalfields.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Well, then, what have we got here? - What have you got?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36We've got some bright coloured glass here.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- Yes, that's a Whitefriars bit. - Oh, yes, so it is.- Yes.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Because it's got the little label on it. It's quite funky, isn't it?
0:05:42 > 0:05:43It's nice and it feels nice to hold.
0:05:43 > 0:05:48Yes, it's very tactile. It feels a bit like the inside of a Tardis.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Oops. Hello. If you break it...
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- Was that chip always there. - I was going to say, if you break it you buy it.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- You pointed out a little cocktail shaker.- Yes. It's really sweet.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Oh, that's really sweet. A little baby one.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00- That's quite funky with the black and white like that.- Yes.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01That would appeal to a younger buyer.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- It's quite fun, isn't it?- It's nice and I like the stars around the top.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Yes, that's quite nice, isn't it? 1980s or something.
0:06:08 > 0:06:14Well, it's going quite well. I'm finding quite a lot of small items, which are good for shelf fillers but,
0:06:14 > 0:06:16of course, it all depends on the price.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Sometimes you know it's worth trying to buy three or four items from one dealer
0:06:19 > 0:06:23because then you get a bigger discount. Hopefully. In theory.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27It's a flying start from The Maverick. He's earmarked six pieces.
0:06:27 > 0:06:34Now he needs to use all his charm to seal a great deal for them so he can maximise his potential profit.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37The Hitman, meanwhile, is still waxing lyrical on the road.
0:06:37 > 0:06:42Spitalfields is a market that's all about the young, trendy folk
0:06:42 > 0:06:46of London so I'm really aiming for that under 35 age group.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50I'm looking for designer labels, I'm looking for clothes that are different,
0:06:50 > 0:06:52I'm looking for clothes that are in good condition.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54Help!
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Jonty is well out of his comfort zone today.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59He might be an expert when it comes to a finely-turned pair of
0:06:59 > 0:07:06furniture legs but in the rag trade he's a complete and utter novice.
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Back in Brighton Mark is about to back his first big deal of the day.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- Ta-da.- Will you take 60 from me in pure cash?- Yes, all right.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16As long as it's not a 50 and a ten.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- No.- I don't like 50s.- Three 20s.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22- Oh, well that will do. - What a start for Mark Stacey.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26He has spent £60 and picked up six pieces of funky glass and ceramics
0:07:26 > 0:07:33including a red Whitefriars vase, a cocktail shaker and a white ceramic bubble vase.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37Now I'm off to the next venue in my itinerary, which is actually the flea market.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40Now, they're kind of shy, they don't want to be filmed
0:07:40 > 0:07:46so I'm going to go in, you won't be able to join me but don't worry, I'll reveal all to you later.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49What a pace The Maverick is setting.
0:07:49 > 0:07:54He is focused on just one thing, picking up bargains that will attract the buyers at Spitalfields.
0:07:54 > 0:08:01- Delving in the depths of the antique centre Mark runs into one of his trade contacts.- I've got...
0:08:01 > 0:08:05This is a genuine '30s sofa in original fabric.
0:08:05 > 0:08:06Fantastic.
0:08:06 > 0:08:10- And this is a whacky... - A BT tub bench.
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- I just like this, it's quirky. It's quite expensive.- Oh. Hello.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- That is a good thing. - I know. I like it.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Gosh I think it's amazing, isn't it?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22- 120.- 120's the best.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- That is it.- Not 110?
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Definitely not. No, no I can't.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29Oh, I am trying, aren't I? It is lovely, I adore it.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31I think it's sold, don't you?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33You are a nasty man.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Yeah, I've got to try it.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37- Honestly, I love it. - No, you'll do well with it.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- Thanks a lot.- It looks like Mark has taken a calculated risk buying this quirky 1920s washtub bench
0:08:42 > 0:08:49in the hope that someone at Spitalfields will its potential for being turned into a coffee table.
0:08:49 > 0:08:55It cost him £120 and it takes his total spend so far to £180.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58So with The Maverick moving through Brighton's antique's shops
0:08:58 > 0:09:05faster than a supermodel on a shopping spree, it's time to find out where The Hitman has got to.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09So this is it, this is the auction room. Will I find some vintage clothing inside? I'm not quite sure.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13It kind of looks like a converted cowshed.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Well, with New York, Paris and Milan all out of the
0:09:15 > 0:09:19equation for today's buying race, The Hitman will have to hope that
0:09:19 > 0:09:27Bayles Auction House in Hertfordshire will offer up enough retro fashion for his stall.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29He's got no time to lose.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32He needs to work his way through the lots and pinpoint
0:09:32 > 0:09:36exactly which pieces he thinks will sell best at Spitalfields.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39Back in Brighton, Mark has been a busy boy.
0:09:39 > 0:09:45He's now racked up a whopping 16 items of cracking kitsch.
0:09:45 > 0:09:51I've brought first of all this really rather nice Hockney print from an exhibition in 1985.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Hockney is really hot at the moment, anything related to Hockney,
0:09:54 > 0:09:58and that was only 50 quid so I hope to turn 20 or 30 quid profit on that.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Going on to the smaller items.
0:10:00 > 0:10:06Now the reason I bought this one is because it's got quite a funky shape, it's got a funky design with that
0:10:06 > 0:10:12bright brown and lime green and the grid pattern, but more importantly it's got the name here,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15and then it's got the pattern name as well.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18All that adds to a collector.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21And that was actually £25 for that big lump of pottery.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Now this is really fun.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26This is a record box really isn't it, from the 1960s.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29The sale price was a tenner and it's in reasonably good condition.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33What I quite liked about it is this is fake ostrich skin
0:10:33 > 0:10:37and for a tenner I've got to be able to record a profit there.
0:10:37 > 0:10:43The Maverick is building up a mighty arsenal of items he thinks will wow the crowds at Spitalfields Market.
0:10:43 > 0:10:48Let's hope those bright young things of London will share his taste.
0:10:48 > 0:10:53In Hertfordshire, Jonty is also focused solely on Spitalfields but whilst his opponent is going
0:10:53 > 0:10:59for funky miscellania, The Hitman is on the hunt for retro clothing.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02This is a great little goldmine here.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05All these are what's known as job lots.
0:11:05 > 0:11:11We've got six hats in one collection, we've got four shoes here, aren't they fun?
0:11:11 > 0:11:13Just perfect
0:11:13 > 0:11:16for a 20-, 30-something-year-old in London.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20What price do I pay for a jacket like this, and like this?
0:11:20 > 0:11:22I haven't got a clue.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25If I could mix a suitcase with
0:11:25 > 0:11:29other items, it all kind of like ties in - I'm running with a theme.
0:11:29 > 0:11:36With Jonty looking to start his very own vintage fashion house and Mark marauding through the antiques
0:11:36 > 0:11:41shops of Brighton, let's take a look at the state of play so far.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44Our dealing duo both started the day with up to £1,000
0:11:44 > 0:11:47of their own money to spend.
0:11:47 > 0:11:52The Hitman has yet to make a single purchase so he still has £1,000
0:11:52 > 0:11:55burning a hole in his wallet.
0:11:55 > 0:12:01But The Maverick has bought a mighty 16 items and spent £364,
0:12:01 > 0:12:05leaving him with £636 still to spend.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Our duelling dealers have got just 48 hours to source, buy
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and then sell an entire stall's worth of antiques.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18They are both on the hunt for items that they think will sell best at Spitalfields Market.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Right now, there is no stopping The Maverick as he
0:12:22 > 0:12:28picks up this 1950s cocktail shaker, his second of the day, for just £15.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30- £15.- £15.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34And he follows it up with a collection of items bought as a job lot, including a bracelet,
0:12:34 > 0:12:43an Avon owl, a cigarette dispenser, two beefeaters and three rather fierce looking Danish warriors.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46What if we say 25?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48I think that's very reasonable.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I must be able to make a profit on that.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Yeah? Happy?- That's fantastic.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54It's now just before 1.30
0:12:54 > 0:12:59and in Hertfordshire it looks like The Hitman could be finally about to splash some cash.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03The auction is about to commence.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Number one is...
0:13:05 > 0:13:09It's time for Jonty to put his master plan into effect, to bid only on retro clothing
0:13:09 > 0:13:17that he thinks will sell well at funky Spitalfields Market and spend as little as he possibly can.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20It really is exciting because I've got my strategy in place
0:13:20 > 0:13:24to buy all of those retro items, and they're all here.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27The first one is lot 13, it's just around the corner,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31and right now, just before the sale starts I've got all the butterflies.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35For every item Jonty buys at this auction, he'll be charged a buyer's premium
0:13:35 > 0:13:40of 10% plus VAT, which will be added at the end of the sale.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42There are no guide prices on the lots
0:13:42 > 0:13:46so Jonty is going to have to use his instincts to judge how much to bid.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Lot number 13.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Greek canvas and leather suitcase and a baggage case.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55Lot number 13, these two together.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58£10. That's a nice suitcase. Ten.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Five? Two, one, two bid. Three bid.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03In the middle now. Three is bid, £3, four on the right side.
0:14:03 > 0:14:08This end, £4. four, five, six with you. Six, seven, he says no, you're still here.
0:14:08 > 0:14:09Six, seven, eight, nine.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12£8.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Nine? It's sold in the back corner.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16Eight I'm bid. Sold at £8.
0:14:17 > 0:14:25And he's off. The Hitman lands his first lot, a vintage suitcase and vanity case for just £8.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28He's quick to follow up with two more vintage cases at low prices.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34And 26. Selling then at £13.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39It's lunchtime already, I've bought my three lots, I'm into profit already.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44Mark Stacey, I can just imagine running around the lanes of Brighton, he'll be
0:14:44 > 0:14:47absolutely drained by now and I'll bet he hasn't bought a bargain yet.
0:14:47 > 0:14:53Well, The Hitman is certainly not lacking in confidence but it might be a little misplaced.
0:14:53 > 0:15:00This fantastic street and my friends have supplied me virtually everything I need for my market stall tomorrow,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03so I've decided to go much, much further afield for lunch.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06I'm just going to get in the van.
0:15:06 > 0:15:13In fact the fastest antiques dealer in the south has already managed to cram his van full of bargain booty.
0:15:13 > 0:15:20He's bought a whopping 25 items and has enough time to spare to treat himself to a spot of lunch.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well, I'm flying high, aren't I?
0:15:25 > 0:15:30Now the trick, Jonty, keep it simple.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Yes, our galloping gourmet had better be careful, he doesn't want this to become a case of the hare
0:15:33 > 0:15:40and the tortoise because whilst he's filling his face, The Hitman is filling his van.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43The next lot is the first pair of shoes and then
0:15:43 > 0:15:48there's another lot beyond that, but I just think they're lovely and so watch this space, it's the next lot.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53Lot number 30. Four pairs of ladies shoes, pre 1970.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56And 20. Ten then.
0:15:56 > 0:16:01- Five then.- Jonty's in. - Six, seven, eight, nine, ten now.
0:16:01 > 0:16:0611 bid in the back of the room. 11, 12. 12 is bid, anywhere else now?
0:16:06 > 0:16:10I'm bid 12. They are sold at £12.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12£12 for four pairs of shoes?
0:16:12 > 0:16:14That's just £3 a pair.
0:16:14 > 0:16:20- Then Jonty picks up another four pairs for £24.- And 24.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Now you're cooking, Jonty.- Another genuine bargain, Mark Stacey.
0:16:24 > 0:16:29With eight pairs of shoes under his belt, Jonty is now moving into the realms of millinery.
0:16:29 > 0:16:37- Hats to you and me.- The very next lot are all those beautiful hats and they are three lots back to back.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43Stand by for some quickfire buying action from The Hitman as he tries to pick up
0:16:43 > 0:16:47the next three lots of ladies' hats for as little as possible.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Six ladies' hats dated 1960s.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55All done, sold. Sold at 30.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01In a blaze of bidding, he spent £58 on three lots of ladies' hats.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04They've been sold straight away at...
0:17:04 > 0:17:07And then just a tenner on a collection of handbags.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11So just to sum up - the theme is taking shape.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I've now got to bid on all the clothes as well but I'm
0:17:14 > 0:17:17going to stay and I'm going to be as hard as I possibly can.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Well, for a renowned antiques dealer, Jonty
0:17:20 > 0:17:24seems to be taking to the world of ladies' fashion like a duck to water.
0:17:24 > 0:17:31Let's hope his strategy will pay off and that all this retro gear will sell well at Spitalfields.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36In Brighton, an uber-confident Mark Stacey is fully bought up with 25
0:17:36 > 0:17:39funky pieces in his bulging booty bag.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I'm just going to finish my dessert and then I'm heading to London where I shall be sitting with
0:17:44 > 0:17:49a chilled glass of Chablis waiting for The Hitman to arrive.
0:17:50 > 0:17:57And in Hertfordshire, The Hitman is busy building up a mighty arsenal of cheap retro fashion.
0:17:57 > 0:17:5928. Sold.
0:17:59 > 0:18:04Perfect purchases. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven ladies' coats.
0:18:04 > 0:18:10Absolutely, I'm just over the moon, I'm really ecstatic over the whole thing.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12Perfect profit, profit.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Ah, look at the excitement on that face.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17It's now just after three o'clock and Jonty's really hitting his stride.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22He's secured the collection of seven ladies' coats for £115.
0:18:22 > 0:18:27That is just over £16 a coat. Bargain.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30I'm really pleased with the quality items I bought.
0:18:30 > 0:18:35I'm even more delighted that Jonty is probably running around like a headless chicken through Oxfordshire
0:18:35 > 0:18:38while I'm going to be sitting at the bar waiting for him.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Driver, London. Full speed ahead.
0:18:45 > 0:18:52The Maverick sets off for the capital in high spirits but his rival is no headless chicken.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56He's been buying vintage clobber like there's no tomorrow.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00The last lot of the day is hopefully a little mirror,
0:19:00 > 0:19:04a little decorative mirror so that everyone can see just how pretty they look with their bonnets on.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Lot 232, modern bamboo frame wall mirror.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10Mirror decorated with ivy and trellis. £10.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13Ten. Five? Five back of the room, five now. And selling
0:19:13 > 0:19:16at £5.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20That was all I wanted to pay. £5 is absolutely fine.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23We're done. Let's get out of here.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25What a result for The Hitman.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29We may know him as a successful antiques dealer but today he's jumped feet first
0:19:29 > 0:19:37into the retro rag trade and picked up a collection of ladies' shoes, hats and mirrors for just over £410.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43So auction room is done and dusted. Time is really marching on.
0:19:43 > 0:19:49I want to head into town to see if I can hit some shops before they close, a few more vintage shops.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That's if I can get there on time.
0:19:51 > 0:19:55The Hitman is now heading to London to look for more purchases whilst The Maverick is heading
0:19:55 > 0:19:59to the hotel looking for a nice chilled glass of wine.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04The race to the capital is on.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08Now I have to say that I'm cockahoop about all the items that I've bought.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11I actually can't wait to get to London now and see what Jonty is up to.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15I think it's going to take a good hour to get to those shops.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17Will they still be open? Not quite sure.
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Once that clock strikes six o'clock we've finished.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34With very little time left on the clock
0:20:34 > 0:20:38The Hitman is stopping off at a vintage outfitters in north London
0:20:38 > 0:20:43looking to spend some more of his money and find some last minute additions to his stall.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44There we go, what do you think?
0:20:44 > 0:20:46I think it fits me like a glove.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51A Gianni Versace shirt, and the lady is now letting me have it for 30 quid.
0:20:51 > 0:20:57Now what I think I'm going to do is probably wear it tomorrow and so I can model it.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Not am I a salesman I'll be a model as well.
0:21:01 > 0:21:03Not bad, huh?
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Ah, he's so chuffed it seems a shame to shatter his illusions.
0:21:06 > 0:21:11Yes, Jonty, you truly are the model of sartorial elegance.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15And that spend of £30 sees The Hitman sew up his buying for the day.
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Jonty and Mark both started out today with £1,000 of their own money.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24With his auction fees added on Jonty spent just over
0:21:24 > 0:21:28£443 on 23 purchases,
0:21:28 > 0:21:33while Mark bagged 25 items and spent £404.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40With their buying done both our duelling dealers are battling their way
0:21:40 > 0:21:44through London traffic to the hotel where they'll be staying the night.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Who is going to get to the hotel first?
0:21:46 > 0:21:53Their vans are piled high with the items they think will turn a profit at Spitalfields Market tomorrow.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57But only time will tell who has chosen the winning strategy.
0:21:59 > 0:22:05It's a photo finish as The Hitman and The Maverick hit the hotel at exactly the same time.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Jonty.- Look who it isn't. - How are you?
0:22:09 > 0:22:11We've arrived at exactly the same time.
0:22:11 > 0:22:13I can't believe it. And what is that?
0:22:13 > 0:22:16- Ah-ha.- Is that for the stall?
0:22:16 > 0:22:18No, I've got an even better shirt for tomorrow.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22I want to see a photo of you in that. That is fantastic. Well done.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28Once they've checked in and freshened up our warring warriors hold a temporary truce.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Tomorrow brings the real battle as they attempt to sell all
0:22:31 > 0:22:36their purchases in direct competition at Spitalfields Market.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39It's been a long day, Jonty, hasn't it?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40It has. Have you had a good day?
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Actually it's gone remarkably well.
0:22:42 > 0:22:47I was terribly worried when I got the challenge this morning, the golden envelope.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52I thought it was my Oscar nomination but no, it turned out to be a challenge apparently.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54I thought it was my P45!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57But like we always say, it's not the buying, is it?
0:22:57 > 0:22:59No. I think we've done the easy bit.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02We've done the buying, now we've got to do the selling.
0:23:02 > 0:23:03Will we be opposite each other?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05I don't know. I hope so.
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Can I pinch your customers?
0:23:06 > 0:23:10- You are not allowed to pinch your customers.- You promise.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12That counts for you as well then.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14But can I follow you when you're doing
0:23:14 > 0:23:17a dance when you're desperate to sell the last remaining items?
0:23:17 > 0:23:19I would have sold out, I'll be watching you.
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I think you need another drink, Jonty. Cheers.
0:23:23 > 0:23:27Coming up, Mark reveals the power of persuasion.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29I love it. It's very dramatic.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31It's a statement piece.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33And Jonty demonstrates the hard sell.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35I have to sell it now.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37What do you mean, you have to sell it now.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40I want to sell it to you now.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45It's first thing in the morning in East London
0:23:45 > 0:23:48and Spitalfields Market is springing into life.
0:23:50 > 0:23:55There's a palpable sense of excitement as the dealers prepare for the day's trading,
0:23:55 > 0:24:02selling to East London's diverse mix of trendy youngsters, tourists and city professionals.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Over the next eight hours our dealers face their biggest challenge
0:24:06 > 0:24:10yet, they must attempt to sell everything they bought yesterday.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14- Dear boy.- Jonty, look at that. - Wore it especially for you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18You shouldn't have bothered but thank you anyway. But look at all this.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20- It's such a hustle and bustle. - We've got a blank canvas here.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23I love it. I'm really getting thrilled and excited here, Jonty.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Yes. Are you ready to stall out? - I think so.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Come on.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Mark and Jonty's stalls are right next to each other so they'll have to fight
0:24:32 > 0:24:36even harder to make sure it's their stall that the buyers come to first.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39As they unpack their goods their aim is to display them in ways
0:24:39 > 0:24:43that will really inspire people to part with their hard earned cash.
0:24:43 > 0:24:47The Hitman, creating his very own retro fashion boutique,
0:24:47 > 0:24:52and The Maverick setting out an eye catching emporium of funky pieces.
0:24:52 > 0:24:58But who will pull in the most buyer and who will claim the ultimate victory?
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Finished.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Gentlemen, reveal your stalls.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10I must admit you know, Jonty might have pulled off
0:25:10 > 0:25:14quite an interesting strategy here because he's bought a lot of vintage
0:25:14 > 0:25:21fashion items from an auction at what sounds like very cheap prices and he's been getting a lot of attention.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24And I must say I'm secretly quite worried.
0:25:24 > 0:25:30And with some justification, Mark, because your opponent comes haring off the starting blocks,
0:25:30 > 0:25:35a whirling dervish of charm and persuasion as he tries to bag the first deal of the day.
0:25:37 > 0:25:39- Up, down?- Yes.- Where do you want me?
0:25:39 > 0:25:4120 quid? That's an absolute steal.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Look, you've got the belt there as well. There you go, perfect.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Thank you very much indeed. Bye-bye.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50What a start from The Hitman, selling one of his retro coats
0:25:50 > 0:25:54for £20 and in no time he's got some interest in one of his hats.
0:25:56 > 0:25:57You've got to have that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Yeah. Brilliant.
0:26:02 > 0:26:0420 quid it's yours. There you go.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Enjoy.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Oh, god, I hope somebody buys something.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11Jonty is firing on all cylinders.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16I'll do you a big deal if you buy two pairs of shoes, so £15 for the two pairs.
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Are we done?
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- We're done.- Good.
0:26:20 > 0:26:25That's another sale of £15 for The Hitman. The Maverick is reeling.
0:26:25 > 0:26:31He's selling all these vintage bits and bobs and nobody is coming near my stall.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34But Jonty's buyer is still working his way around his stall.
0:26:34 > 0:26:39I'm selling all of that collection there for £40, the whole lot.
0:26:39 > 0:26:40Is that your best?
0:26:40 > 0:26:43It is my best. Absolutely my best.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47I was trying to do you a really good deal. Yes?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48Very good.
0:26:48 > 0:26:52As Jonty's buyer walks away with a box of assorted fabrics and some
0:26:52 > 0:26:57shoes, Mark desperately needs to stir up some interest in his stall.
0:26:57 > 0:27:04The Hitman has just notched up a big sale so his strategy of buying up retro fashion is really paying off.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07- It's because I'm wearing this shirt. - Well, can I borrow it?
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Shall we swap shirts?
0:27:10 > 0:27:16Ew. Jonty is in his element, clocking up sales left, right and centre.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20- How much is the case?- This one here, you can have it for 20 quid.
0:27:20 > 0:27:23- Fantastic, it's all yours. - Thank you very much.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25It's a lovely quality tray that,
0:27:25 > 0:27:27- absolutely gorgeous. - Yeah, we'll have it.
0:27:27 > 0:27:3030 quid. Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34- Thank you. - Another 50 quid in the kitty. Great.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38Only an hour into the market and Jonty is making serious money.
0:27:38 > 0:27:42# The best things in life are free
0:27:42 > 0:27:45# But you can give them to the birds and bees
0:27:45 > 0:27:46# I need money... #
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Now take all those hats off and buy a hat from me.
0:27:49 > 0:27:53- You can have a hat each for a tenner if you buy a hat each from me. - I'm sold.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Look at Audrey Hepburn there, the blond Audrey Hepburn.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59- So have we got a deal, girls?- We do.
0:27:59 > 0:28:05Yes. One, two, three. So three hats. So that's 30 quid then, yeah?
0:28:05 > 0:28:07- Yeah.- OK. Cool.- OK, thank you.
0:28:07 > 0:28:10What have you got? OK, that's for you.
0:28:10 > 0:28:13- Thank you very much. - Thanks girls. Bye.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17Oh, you know it's like watching a great master at work,
0:28:17 > 0:28:21squeezing out every iota of charm to get another £30 into his pot.
0:28:21 > 0:28:26The girls looked fantastic in their Brazilian hats but they look even better in mine.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28This is all piling pressure on Mark.
0:28:28 > 0:28:30Jonty's clothes are flying off his stall,
0:28:30 > 0:28:34but The Maverick is yet to sell a single one of his funky pieces.
0:28:34 > 0:28:40Come on Mark, rise up, don't lose hope, sell, sell, sell.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- It's a little Avon perfume thing.- Oh.
0:28:43 > 0:28:44If you actually open it up,
0:28:44 > 0:28:48originally I think it had cream in it or something.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- How much is that?- £8.
0:28:50 > 0:28:52Let me wrap him up for you. You'll be my first sale of the day.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Now I'll give you that, all right?
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Thank you for buying something.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59At least I won't go home with it all.
0:28:59 > 0:29:01Thank goodness for that, he's done it.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03# Hallelujah. #
0:29:03 > 0:29:08The Maverick has closed his first deal of the day and made £8.
0:29:08 > 0:29:09There we are, sir, how's that?
0:29:09 > 0:29:11Thanks a lot.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Oh, he's done it again.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15Let me see, 12.50.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- A tenner. Now that's cheap, isn't it? - Go on then.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22- You'll have it for ten quid?- Yeah. - Fantastic. Let me wrap it up.
0:29:22 > 0:29:23Yeah, get in there, Mark.
0:29:23 > 0:29:28It's a start but I've got a long way before I catch The Hitman up.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Yes, Mark, but you do have to be in it to win it,
0:29:30 > 0:29:35and with those three sales under your belt you are back in the game.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38That was 18 but I can come down a bit.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40Because it's a nice colour, isn't it?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42- I collect red glass. - And it is Whitefriars.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45I'm going to be really cheeky. Would you take ten for it?
0:29:45 > 0:29:47I could take, um, 12.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49You wouldn't do 11?
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- If I take 11, I'm making £1. - OK, I'll give you 12.
0:29:53 > 0:29:56Mark's getting stuck in, and he's a hard negotiator.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01These might not be huge sales, but every penny counts if he wants to close the gap on his rival.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06At the moment I'm up to roughly £240
0:30:06 > 0:30:11and it's quarter past 11, so it's steady as she goes.
0:30:11 > 0:30:17I'm pleased with the footfall but boy have I got to work very hard just to break even.
0:30:17 > 0:30:22So with £240 in his till The Hitman is in the lead.
0:30:22 > 0:30:26His strategy of selling retro clothing is really working out at this market,
0:30:26 > 0:30:32but he's got a long way to go yet before he's into profit and The Maverick is hot on his heels.
0:30:32 > 0:30:37He's busy charming a buyer who is interested in two of his major pieces.
0:30:37 > 0:30:42They are all the rage apparently now, particularly with such a strong design on them.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45- And you've got the fact that the label is on there.- Yes.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48But I think that is rather funky actually.
0:30:48 > 0:30:50If you wanted the two, then I could do them for 40.
0:30:50 > 0:30:52- 40 for...- 40 for the two.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55That's quite a reasonable price. Go on, be brave.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00- I think, yeah.- Yes, shall we go for that?- Yeah.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Yes, that's Mark's biggest sale yet.
0:31:02 > 0:31:07A winning smile and a sprinkling of charm earns him £40.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10I'd like to find my wife a B.Cal bag. She used to work for B.Cal.
0:31:10 > 0:31:14- Well, I think a bargain would be £10.- Do you?
0:31:14 > 0:31:17- She'll give you a big peck on the cheek.- That would be a result.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21If you paid 20 quid, I would have given you a peck on the cheek.
0:31:21 > 0:31:23Can I just pay ten?
0:31:23 > 0:31:24- Oh, thanks(!)- That's all right.
0:31:24 > 0:31:29An interesting tactic from The Maverick, but it's earned him another £10
0:31:29 > 0:31:34and slowly but surely his strategy of buying a mix of funky pieces is starting to pay off.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38Next, Mark's got some interest in his record box from an American visitor.
0:31:40 > 0:31:4115 quid and it's yours.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- I'm only making a very small profit I promise you.- Hmm.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- Go on. 15 quid, come on.- 15 quid.
0:31:47 > 0:31:49- OK, done deal.- Wonderful.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- You're a star, sir.- I know. - And you will going to heaven.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I don't know they take retired antique dealers.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Thank you very much.
0:31:55 > 0:32:01It's slowly trickling in but I need some of these bigger items to sell, so please come and buy them.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04£7.50. Now that's cheap, isn't it?
0:32:04 > 0:32:07- Yeah.- Shall I wrap it for you?
0:32:07 > 0:32:08- You can.- Do you want a kiss as well.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14Thank you. I shall think of you as I put my nuts on there.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Will you?
0:32:16 > 0:32:21Oh, Mrs! Could this be a monumental showdown comeback from The Maverick?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25He has now sold eight items for a total of £112,
0:32:25 > 0:32:32but if Mark wants to put a serious dent in The Hitman's lead he needs to shift his higher value items.
0:32:32 > 0:32:36As today's market hits its middle phase both our duelling dealers hit their stride,
0:32:36 > 0:32:41using all their experience and expert techniques to seal those deals.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44What's the best price you'll give me?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Well, it's 30 really because it's such a lovely shape.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49First it's the hard sell.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- I have to sell it now.- What do you mean you have to sell it now? - I want to sell it to you now.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55Then it's persuasion.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I love it. I think it's very dramatic.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59It's a statement piece.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01But it's results that matter.
0:33:01 > 0:33:0222 it is.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04- All right.- £22.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06Like I need another knick-knack.
0:33:06 > 0:33:07OK.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12Oi yoi yoi. £15. I'll wrap it up.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Don't you just love the cut and thrust of
0:33:15 > 0:33:20two expert dealers going toe to toe for profit?
0:33:20 > 0:33:24This showdown is turning into a titanic tussle.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28The Hitman came hurtling off the blocks, wracking up sale after sale.
0:33:28 > 0:33:33So far he has sold 15 items and he has made £262,
0:33:33 > 0:33:40but he's got just over £181 to make before he breaks into profit.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43With grim determination The Maverick has been making up
0:33:43 > 0:33:44for a desperately slow start.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48He's sold ten items and made £127.50.
0:33:48 > 0:33:53So he's got to make another £276.50 to break into profit.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02In the final hours of today's showdown The Maverick needs to break out with all guns blazing.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06He's got to find a way to make some big money fast.
0:34:06 > 0:34:11They said a lot of people want interesting, collectible items, which I think I've bought,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15and I've sold a lot of the cheaper items which I've even still had to drop the prices on.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18But there's a little way to go and maybe I'll sell
0:34:18 > 0:34:21some of things then, but it's not looking hopeful at the moment.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25Oh, Mark, don't let despondency take you in its dark grasp.
0:34:25 > 0:34:31You need to summon up every last ounce of selling know how and keep bashing away.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34It would make a great coffee table, with a glass top on it or something like that.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39And I was hoping to get something like 175 for it, something like that.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41- Thank you.- All right. Thanks.
0:34:41 > 0:34:43Oh, crushing disappointment.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46It's very difficult because you don't know whether you've just said
0:34:46 > 0:34:51a million times too much or it's so cheap they can't believe it and walk off anyway.
0:34:51 > 0:34:52So what can you do, eh?
0:34:52 > 0:34:55Yes, that's a terrible blow for The Maverick.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59If he doesn't sell these bigger items, he's going to be in desperate trouble.
0:34:59 > 0:35:06Meanwhile, The Hitman is loading on the pressure by lining up yet more sales.
0:35:06 > 0:35:09Try it on. Try it on.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12It's 1950s, 1960s.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17It's got to be 30. What about 27?
0:35:17 > 0:35:20Give me 30, you get £3, we're done.
0:35:21 > 0:35:28Having bagged himself £27 from the sale of one coat, Jonty flies straight in to selling another.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30- Like it?- Yeah.
0:35:30 > 0:35:3145 quid it's yours.
0:35:31 > 0:35:35And poor Mark is forced to look on from the sidelines.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Thank you very much. Looks like I've got a great bargain there.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41OK.
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Yes, the House of Hearnden collection is flying off the stall.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47This can't be easy for poor old Mark.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49- Hello.- How is it going, matey?
0:35:49 > 0:35:52Well, not too bad I suppose, it's not too good either.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55I've taken around the £150 mark. What about yourself?
0:35:55 > 0:35:59OK, I've done OK. I'm about 400ish or thereabouts.
0:35:59 > 0:36:00Oh, well very good. Very good.
0:36:00 > 0:36:04- If you can get your furniture away, then you're back up there. - I'm back up there.
0:36:04 > 0:36:10- It's only around quarter to two so we've still got a few hours left. - Absolutely.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12- We must keep optimistic.- Yes.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16So our brave boys have just got a couple of hours of selling left.
0:36:16 > 0:36:21So far The Hitman has sold 19 items whilst The Maverick has just sold ten.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26He desperately needs to lock down some sales to stay in this competition.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29- I can do it for £15. - Right OK.- Right?
0:36:29 > 0:36:32- That's exactly what I paid for it, 15 quid.- That's all you...?
0:36:32 > 0:36:35I was going to say, will you take ten?
0:36:35 > 0:36:37Oh, but then I'd be losing £5.
0:36:37 > 0:36:41- OK.- 15 quid.- Yeah. - Oh, you're a star, sir.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44£15 to The Maverick, but zero profit.
0:36:44 > 0:36:49He may be shaken but he's got to stir up those big sales.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54Good job we're taking the weight off our pins. Sitting down is good news.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Well, it's a difficult challenge this.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01All that running around yesterday, no rest. Today, up early doing this.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05I'm so exhausted. It's nice to take the weight off my feet.
0:37:05 > 0:37:08Mark, beware, don't let The Hitman lure you
0:37:08 > 0:37:12into taking a breather just when you need to be up and fighting hardest.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Gentlemen, there's not much time left.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18Sell like you've never sold before.
0:37:20 > 0:37:23Well, I was trying to get 15 for it but can we say 12?
0:37:23 > 0:37:26- 12. Yes.- And a kiss.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29£12 to The Maverick.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34Thank you so much. Ten, that's all I'm asking, begging for.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36Keep going, Mark.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39And I just thought they are really sweet actually.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41And for a tenner it can't be bad, can it?
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- All right, done.- OK? I'll wrap them for you, all right?
0:37:44 > 0:37:45Yes, £10.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47Give me 20 and it's yours.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Good man, thank you very much.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53£20 to The Hitman.
0:37:53 > 0:38:00The name of the game is at the end of the day, I want to be in profit not in a loss situation.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04I have 15 on it today but I was hoping to get around a tenner for it.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- Would you go anywhere near that? - I'll give you eight.- I'll take it.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11If you bought this shirt, I would come free.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- For how long?- What?- How long?
0:38:13 > 0:38:15For however long you want me.
0:38:15 > 0:38:16Hmm, now there's an offer.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- Not interested? - I would, but no, I won't.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20He's going into overdrive.
0:38:20 > 0:38:25I'm begging you, please buy my mirror.
0:38:25 > 0:38:26I'm doing this with love.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29You'll get a kiss as well.
0:38:29 > 0:38:30Ah! Ah!
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Mwah and mwah.
0:38:34 > 0:38:40As the end of the day draws near, both our experts have demonstrated the full gamut of sales techniques.
0:38:40 > 0:38:47The Maverick is still chasing buyers while The Hitman has one last roll of the dice to play.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52I've now sold the whole lot to a dealer who is a little camera shy
0:38:52 > 0:38:55but I've sold it for an absolute bargain for him,
0:38:55 > 0:39:00but at least I have... cleared the table.
0:39:00 > 0:39:04I've sold every single item apart from the shirt.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10Well, it's hats off to The Hitman.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14He has managed to sell everything but the shirt off his back. So far.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18I've got some even further great news to tell you.
0:39:18 > 0:39:24The dealer who has just bought the remainder of my stock off my stall wants to buy the shirt off my back.
0:39:24 > 0:39:30Fantastic. But...all of you with a nervous disposition at home, look away now.
0:39:41 > 0:39:42Right, off I go.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45What a storming result.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden has sold absolutely every purchase he made.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Jonty, I must say thank you so much for helping me pack up.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59I applaud you, you sold everything, you've pulled a master stroke.
0:39:59 > 0:40:05It was just luck for me that I found an auction room relatively near to me that wasn't in Scotland or Wales
0:40:05 > 0:40:09that was selling the effects and the items that hopefully I could have bought.
0:40:09 > 0:40:11So I was lucky but I also went out on a limb.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13No, you did, so you know..
0:40:13 > 0:40:17I am not the world's expert in ladies' coats and shoes.
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Well, you are after today. It's a whole new career for you.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22- Yes.- But you know what they say?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Who dares wins. And you dared and you won.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27- Congratulations.- Thank you very much.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33It's time now to tot up the totals and find out exactly how much our dynamic duo have made.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39Both Mark and Jonty were allowed to spend up to £1,000 of their own money on the showdown.
0:40:39 > 0:40:41Including his auction fees
0:40:41 > 0:40:45Jonty spent just over £443 on his retro clothing.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Mark spent £404 on funky miscellanea.
0:40:49 > 0:40:54Both our experts have worked their socks off to make as much money as possible,
0:40:54 > 0:40:58and every penny they made will be going to their chosen good causes.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05So it's time now for the talking to stop as we reveal just how much money Mark and Jonty have made.
0:41:06 > 0:41:08What a tough challenge that was.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12- Oh, Jonty...- Oh, boy. - You did rise to the challenge though.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14It was the furniture that let me down.
0:41:14 > 0:41:16They were still standing there at the end of the day.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19And unfortunately I had to stand there as well.
0:41:19 > 0:41:20Shall we see how we got on?
0:41:20 > 0:41:23I'm not looking forward to this, Jonty.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26- Here we go, ready? - Ready.- Let's do it.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Oh, that's a bit of a loss. - I know. That's the furniture.
0:41:30 > 0:41:31Oh, Jonty, you made a profit.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Well done.- It was small but I think to make any profit is a big deal.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39You went the whole hog with it. Even selling the shirt off your back.
0:41:39 > 0:41:40You can see the lengths I go to.
0:41:40 > 0:41:46So it's victory for Jonty today, but our two experts have battling against one another
0:41:46 > 0:41:53all week in the quest for profit and it's now time to find out how much they've made in total.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57Ready, here we go.
0:41:57 > 0:41:58Oh, well I'm not too bad.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00Oh, Jonty, that's ridiculous.
0:42:00 > 0:42:03- What have we done?- Is that Turkish lira you've got there?
0:42:05 > 0:42:09Well, I'm very pleased at my first attempt. I made nearly £600.
0:42:09 > 0:42:13I'm going to shut this box because I want to shake your hand. I think I've found a friend.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- You certainly have. - You've been great fun to work with.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Oh, Jonty, and you. I've learned a lot, thank you.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Well done, Jonty.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Now, despite making some losses Mark has also been building profit all week for his charity.
0:42:25 > 0:42:29As a patron it's a cause close to his heart.
0:42:29 > 0:42:35I'm delighted to be able to hand over a cheque for over £580 to the Sussex Beacon who care for people living for
0:42:35 > 0:42:38HIV and AIDS. I know it will go a long way to help them.
0:42:38 > 0:42:45My chosen charity is SeeSaw, which is an Oxfordshire-based charity that helps children that are bereaved.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Well, after a week of no holds barred combat both
0:42:48 > 0:42:53our experts have put their money where their mouths are and have proved that they've got what it
0:42:53 > 0:42:58takes to make a profit from antiques when their own money is on the line.
