'This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

0:00:020:00:04

'the show that takes the titans of the antiques trade

0:00:040:00:07

'and pitches them against each other

0:00:070:00:10

'to see who can make the most money.

0:00:100:00:13

'from buying and selling.'

0:00:130:00:16

It's amazing! Truly amazing.

0:00:160:00:18

'Today, Maverick Mark Stacey takes on Kate The Diamond Bateman

0:00:180:00:23

'in an all-out battle for profit, giving you the inside view

0:00:230:00:27

'on the secrets of the trade.

0:00:270:00:30

'Coming up, our dealers show you how to handle priceless antiques.'

0:00:300:00:34

There must be a profit in this. Unless, of course, I drop it.

0:00:340:00:38

'They refuse to let the weather dampen their spirits.'

0:00:380:00:42

So I might be able to get some good deals, so bring on the rain, I say.

0:00:420:00:45

'And both contenders have cause to celebrate.'

0:00:450:00:48

What can I say? I'm truly honoured. I didn't expect this.

0:00:480:00:51

'This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.'

0:00:510:00:55

'Look out for the blue lights as a day of collectables cops and robbers gets underway.

0:01:070:01:12

-'It's Mark The Maverick Stacey...'

-Evening, all.

0:01:120:01:16

'..taking on Kate The Diamond Bateman in a high-speed chase

0:01:160:01:19

'to make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.

0:01:190:01:23

'It's Mark Stacey, Brighton's bargain maestro and dealer extraordinaire...'

0:01:230:01:29

I'm PC Maverick and I'm here to arrest Kate Bateman

0:01:290:01:32

on charges of stealing all the bargains!

0:01:320:01:36

'..versus his nemesis, Diamond Bateman, the antiques assassin.'

0:01:360:01:40

Look out, Mark Stacey, I'm gunning for you.

0:01:400:01:43

'These arch rivals will be risking £750 of their own cash

0:01:430:01:47

'as they chase each other round the mean streets of Swinderby Antiques Fair in Lincolnshire.

0:01:470:01:53

'They're racing to shoot down bargain buys that they can sell on for the most profit,

0:01:530:01:59

'all of which goes to their chosen charities. Mark Stacey and Kate Bateman,

0:01:590:02:03

'it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'

0:02:030:02:05

-Good morning, Mark.

-Hello, hello, hello. What are you doing here?

0:02:050:02:09

-This is my old hunting ground.

-Oh, yeah.

-Swinderby.

0:02:090:02:13

-So you've got an advantage?

-I'm not sure. I haven't been here for quite a while

0:02:130:02:16

so I'm not sure what kind of stuff it'll have today. But we've got £750 to spend.

0:02:160:02:21

-What are we going to buy?

-No idea. What about you?.

-Not furniture or paintings.

0:02:210:02:26

-But you're so good at paintings, Kate.

-What are you after?

-I really don't know.

0:02:260:02:30

-Well, the best of luck to you.

-And you. May the best woman win.

0:02:300:02:33

'Hm. They're playing their cards close to their chests today

0:02:330:02:37

'but both these antiques aficionados have a profit-hunting plan of action.'

0:02:370:02:42

I'm trying to really think about maybe finding those pieces

0:02:420:02:45

that I instantly know someone might be interested in,

0:02:450:02:48

or preferably two of three people might be interested in,

0:02:480:02:51

because it gives you a back-up plan.

0:02:510:02:54

It's really exciting because people are still unpacking

0:02:540:02:57

and this is the bit of the fair I love, when you're not quite sure what's here.

0:02:570:03:01

I'm just going to see if something jumps out at me.

0:03:010:03:03

Not a great strategy, but it tends to work for me.

0:03:030:03:07

'The sun may not be shining on our collectables chase today,

0:03:070:03:10

'but our treasure-hunting twosome won't let that hold them back.'

0:03:100:03:14

When it rains, all your stuff gets wet, it's cold, it's miserable. But maybe they'll be keen for a buyer,

0:03:140:03:19

so I might be able to get some good deals. So bring on the rain, I say!

0:03:190:03:23

Well, the rain is actually proving more resistant than I thought. But we're keeping cheerful.

0:03:260:03:33

-THUNDER RUMBLES

-The heavens are opening.

0:03:330:03:38

If the weather continues like this, I think I've found the perfect advantage

0:03:420:03:46

over my rival, Kate Bateman.

0:03:460:03:49

I shall water-ski round the fair!

0:03:490:03:52

'That's the spirit! Come rain or shine, it'll be an epic battle for victory today.

0:03:530:03:59

'And it's Maverick Stacey who's first off the starting blocks.'

0:03:590:04:03

Now, these are quite fun. These are a pair of what look like 17th century table legs.

0:04:030:04:10

But of course, they're not. They're actually probably late 19th century or early 20th century.

0:04:100:04:15

And they would have originally had a big oak top on those.

0:04:150:04:20

But they might look quite nice with a plate glass top on it

0:04:200:04:24

as a slightly contemporary twist to an antique, as it were.

0:04:240:04:29

But we'll see what price they're asking for them.

0:04:290:04:32

-I just wanted to know how much your table legs are.

-80.

0:04:320:04:35

-£80?

-Yes.

-Well, I quite like those for £80, actually. They're quite decorative.

0:04:350:04:41

I would need to get the price down a little bit.

0:04:410:04:43

-Can we negotiate on that price, sir?

-Erm...

0:04:430:04:47

-70 but that is the very best.

-70 is the very best, it is?

0:04:470:04:51

Cos I think they're quite fun, actually. I'm going to take... Where's... I'm going to take those.

0:04:520:04:57

'A colossal first purchase for the Brighton black belt

0:04:570:05:01

'and he wastes no time notching up a second quirky buy.'

0:05:010:05:05

For £20, I think this is a reasonable buy.

0:05:050:05:08

I've got to get the electrics sorted out, but I'm sure in Brighton I can find a poodle lover

0:05:080:05:13

who would simply adore this!

0:05:130:05:16

'A pair of table legs and a poodle lamp,

0:05:160:05:19

'neither of which he has a buyer in mind for.

0:05:190:05:22

'Not exactly on strategy, but Mark's still confident.'

0:05:220:05:25

Well, who's going to make the biggest profit today?

0:05:260:05:29

Will it be Kate or Mark?

0:05:290:05:33

Well, of course, it's going to be Mark.

0:05:330:05:35

'Never underestimate the opposition, though, Mark.

0:05:350:05:38

'They don't call Kate the antiques assassin for nothing.'

0:05:380:05:41

Well, I really like these. They're a pair of lamps. They've got kind of continental scenes on

0:05:410:05:47

They're really heavy. They're brass or bronze.

0:05:470:05:49

They're sort of French style. This is a stiff leaf border here, like laurel leaves.

0:05:490:05:53

You've got this plain column base. They are really heavy, and that's a nice sign of quality.

0:05:530:05:58

They're a sort of brass or... Well, it's probably bronze, actually.

0:05:580:06:02

They're good fun. I don't know what's going on here. We've got ships and animals,

0:06:020:06:06

like a tavern and port scene, I think, on the bottom.

0:06:060:06:09

I was looking for a signature, but there isn't any.

0:06:090:06:12

Now, this chap here wants 175 the pair.

0:06:120:06:14

-It's nice to get pairs of lamps.

-£100 each, but I'd sooner sell the pair.

0:06:140:06:18

Well, I'll have the both for 150, how about that?

0:06:180:06:21

-Take them away.

-Go on, then, take them away.

-150?

-Yes.

-Good man!

0:06:210:06:25

'Applying that famous charm, the Diamond nets a tasty discount.

0:06:250:06:29

'And with the stallholder on side, she goes for the double after spotting a pair of pillars.'

0:06:290:06:35

-260, cos I bought the lamps.

-No, no, they cost me 400.

0:06:350:06:38

-You're doing 280?

-280. You've had a fantastic deal.

0:06:380:06:41

-I'm actually quite tempted by that.

-It's impossible to make a profit...

-Oh, go on, then, 280.

-Bless you.

0:06:420:06:48

-You're lovely. That's fabulous. I've got another thing! Whoo-hoo! I like those.

-They're beautiful.

0:06:480:06:53

I love the fact that these are so theatrical.

0:06:530:06:55

It was a bit of an impulse buy, but I kind of talked myself into them.

0:06:550:07:00

They're really unusual. They're made of wood, he says they're French, about 1920s.

0:07:000:07:04

They'd look great in a house, you could put lamps on them,

0:07:040:07:07

you could put sculptures, or they'd look great in an art gallery.

0:07:070:07:11

It's just so nice to have pairs of things. Interior designers love these.

0:07:110:07:15

But I'm really pleased with that. I think Mark's going to be green with envy.

0:07:150:07:19

'Our treasure-hunting thoroughbred pilfers the two pillars, minus the lamps on top,

0:07:190:07:24

'and has galloped out of the starting gate having spent well over half her budget already.

0:07:240:07:29

'But this very much a two-horse race.'

0:07:290:07:31

I've found something interesting. This is something you could keep in your bedroom locked away

0:07:310:07:36

and you could have a little quiet drink, a night cap at night, maybe a whisky or a port or a brandy.

0:07:360:07:42

And the reason we call them tantalises,

0:07:420:07:44

this comes from the word tantalise, and they were locked away

0:07:440:07:48

to stop the servants taking a neck of your favourite whisky,

0:07:480:07:53

And I think it's quite sweet. It's Edwardian, 1900, made of oak and metal mounted.

0:07:530:07:59

It's got the two little decanters in there. I can't get them out. Sir, why can't I get these out?

0:07:590:08:04

-Cos it's locked.

-It's locked? And you haven't got the key?

-No.

0:08:040:08:08

Now, that's a big problem, because I have to try and find a key to open it.

0:08:080:08:13

And, of course, maybe there's no bottoms on the decanters, so I'd have to try and replace them.

0:08:130:08:18

So hopefully the dealer's going to say it's a very reasonable price.

0:08:180:08:22

-It's 75.

-Oh, no!

0:08:220:08:24

£75, plus I've got to spend weeks hunting for a key, which I don't have because I've got to sell it quickly.

0:08:240:08:30

Can we get it under 65?

0:08:300:08:32

-65.

-Is that all right with you?

-Yes.

0:08:320:08:35

Well, let's hope I'm having a little nip with my success when I find the key and sell this.

0:08:350:08:40

'Yes, smooth-talking Stacey does it again. Maybe he's got some alcohol-loving buyers in mind

0:08:400:08:46

'as he also splashes out £13 on a yard of ale glass.'

0:08:460:08:50

There must be a profit in this. Unless, of course, I drop it.

0:08:500:08:54

'Maverick's bagged two boozy bargains, taking his total so far to four.

0:08:540:09:00

'But canny Kate has racked up her third buy of the day.'

0:09:000:09:03

I'm really pleased with that. I know it's not an antique strictly,

0:09:030:09:06

but you don't get antique magazine racks.

0:09:060:09:08

This is all this shabby chic, French style, distressed. I quite like it.

0:09:080:09:13

And there's lots of places that sell this kind of thing.

0:09:130:09:16

I think that's really good. It was 15 quid. And I got a chicken thrown in.

0:09:160:09:20

I think I can make a very small profit on that, maybe £10 or a fiver,

0:09:200:09:23

but a profit's a profit and we don't sneeze at it.

0:09:230:09:26

'Yes, every penny counts in today's epic antiques adventure.

0:09:260:09:30

'Sticking to her strategy of buying anything that catches her eye,

0:09:300:09:33

'The Diamond homes in on a hefty-looking item.'

0:09:330:09:37

-How much is this stone trough?

-£100.

0:09:370:09:39

-100 quid. And the bigger one?

-That's 130.

-130.

0:09:390:09:44

I like those because they're nice and old,

0:09:440:09:47

and we see loads of repro ones that are reconstituted stone.

0:09:470:09:52

They can make them look older, they put yoghurt on them to make the moss and the lichen grow

0:09:520:09:57

and they leave them outside and all sorts of ploys.

0:09:570:09:59

But you can tell they're really old. This one is hand-hewn. It's going to be a beast to get back, though.

0:09:590:10:05

Blimey, I don't even want to think about how much that weighs.

0:10:050:10:09

So it's sort of putting me off, the size of it, but it is a nice thing, I'm sure I could sell it.

0:10:090:10:14

Let's see if we can haggle the guy down.

0:10:140:10:16

-What's your absolute... Would you do 75?

-No.

0:10:160:10:19

-Cos it's really heavy.

-I know, but that sort of thing...

-It is really nice.

0:10:190:10:24

-What's your absolute best?

-I'll do it for 90. That's the best.

0:10:240:10:28

-85, come on.

-No, 90.

-Really? 90 quid.

-It's got age about it.

0:10:280:10:32

-It is. Do you know where it came from?

-It came out of Yorkshire.

-I'll go for that. 90 quid.

0:10:320:10:38

'The daring Diamond is spending money like water today! But she's feeling no fear.'

0:10:380:10:44

Alarm bells should be ringing for Mark Stacey. He's on the losing team today.

0:10:440:10:49

'Our duelling duo have fought through the weather and taken this antiques fair by storm.

0:10:490:10:55

'But what's the half-time tally?

0:10:550:10:57

'Maverick and Diamond both started the day with £750 of their own money.

0:10:570:11:02

'Mark's bagged four items, but spent just £168,

0:11:020:11:07

'leaving him a sizeable £582 in his kitty.

0:11:070:11:11

'Kate has also bought four items, but splashed out £535,

0:11:110:11:17

'leaving her just £215 still to spend.

0:11:170:11:20

'Buckle up for more action as this antiques adventure enters its second phase.

0:11:230:11:28

'The weather shows no signs of clearing and our daring duo are starting to feel the pressure.'

0:11:280:11:34

What's worrying is it looks like some stallholders are packing up already and it's only ten past ten.

0:11:340:11:41

They're supposed to be here all afternoon. I hope the horrible weather hasn't put them off.

0:11:410:11:45

'As the rain falls, so do Maverick's spirits.'

0:11:470:11:50

Too much of a gamble to try to sell it to a private collector.

0:11:500:11:53

'And his wallet stays firmly in his pocket.'

0:11:530:11:57

It's a nothing, really. It's quite decorative, but I think I'll pass on it for now.

0:11:580:12:02

-But I'm not buying it.

-'Oh, what's happened to our brave bargain-hunter?'

0:12:020:12:07

I don't know about you, but all this rain has extinguished my fire today.

0:12:070:12:11

# Relight my fire

0:12:110:12:14

'Come on, Maverick, get back in the game!

0:12:140:12:17

'And with Mark getting hot under the collar, cool calm Kate shows no signs of stopping.'

0:12:170:12:22

Fortnum & Mason wines with Stuart crystal glasses.

0:12:220:12:26

Well, I love the hamper. Glasses in it, as well. For quaffing your champagne.

0:12:260:12:32

And actually, there's quite a lot of people that go to summer concerts

0:12:320:12:35

around where I am, so that might do it. What have we got to drink?

0:12:350:12:39

A red. I think this is a very classy buy.

0:12:390:12:43

I quite like that.

0:12:430:12:45

Yeah, I'd have that. Let's work on the principle "buy stuff that I would like".

0:12:450:12:49

-Will you do 30?

-Go on, then.

-Oh, you're a lovely lady!

0:12:490:12:53

'Trust the diamond to spot a first-class treasure.

0:12:530:12:56

'And speaking of treasures, the Maverick has lined up three contestants for his next buy.

0:12:560:13:01

'But which will he choose? Hello antique number one.

0:13:010:13:05

'What are you and when are you from?'

0:13:050:13:07

It's a candlestick. Of course it's a candlestick.

0:13:070:13:10

I would say this piece is probably around about 1880, something like that, so it's Victorian.

0:13:100:13:16

If we open the back here, that's for keeping your matches or vestas.

0:13:160:13:21

And where do you strike them? Well, you strike them on the rock here.

0:13:210:13:25

'And what about you, number two?'

0:13:250:13:28

This is a little desk ornament.

0:13:280:13:30

It's again bronze, probably French,

0:13:300:13:34

and just inset here is a carved cameo shell.

0:13:340:13:39

'And last but not least, number three.'

0:13:390:13:42

It's a lovely ladies' walking cane.

0:13:420:13:44

Again, 19th century.

0:13:440:13:46

Silver-plated with a lady artist here at her easel.

0:13:460:13:51

Maybe French again, because we've got a little crystal top. I don't think, unfortunately, it's rock crystal.

0:13:510:13:58

'So will it be antique number one?

0:13:580:14:00

'He's bronze, Victorian and he's desperate to be snapped up.

0:14:000:14:05

'Or will it be antique number two, the pricey continental rack

0:14:050:14:08

'that makes the ladies go wild?

0:14:080:14:10

'Or will Mark walk off with antique number three,

0:14:100:14:13

'the 19th century cane that'll always stick around?

0:14:130:14:17

'Mark, the choice is yours.'

0:14:170:14:19

Here are my two items. I've paid £220 for this, £70 for this,

0:14:190:14:23

so a massive total of £290.

0:14:230:14:27

But I think I've got a buyer for this and a buyer for that,

0:14:270:14:31

so I hope I'm going to snap up a jolly good profit.

0:14:310:14:35

'Ooh, Mark, you old devil! He's walked off with not one but two items

0:14:350:14:40

'and smacked £290 in one fell swoop.

0:14:400:14:44

'Kate had better watch out, as this collectables carnivore

0:14:440:14:48

'soon gobbles up another profit-worthy prey,

0:14:480:14:50

'a set of silver-plated Deco-style boxed fish servers for £7.'

0:14:500:14:55

Another potential tasty profit bought.

0:14:550:14:58

'And that takes Maverick's treasure tally to seven.

0:14:580:15:01

'But with time running out, the Diamond hits back with a knockout blow of her own.'

0:15:010:15:07

Well, this is cool. This is a copper top and a cast-iron base.

0:15:070:15:12

You can see there's a bit of rust, but I like it, I don't want it looking new.

0:15:120:15:15

It's got some age to it. I think it's really pretty.

0:15:150:15:18

So what you can have, it could be inside, you could use it as a coffee table, or in a conservatory,

0:15:180:15:23

or outside. I'm thinking I might put it outside with plants on it. It's a really decorative piece.

0:15:230:15:29

I only paid £25. There's a very small profit in it.

0:15:290:15:33

But it's a nice thing. I think it's probably early 20th century, 1920s maybe.

0:15:330:15:37

But it's nice. Somebody's gone to the effort of cutting out all that copper. So I like that.

0:15:370:15:42

It's heavier than it looks.

0:15:440:15:46

'That's purchase number six for our Lincolnshire lady.

0:15:460:15:49

'And with the market starting to pack up around her, she wastes no time hunting down a lucky seventh.'

0:15:490:15:56

I've just seen something on this stall that I'd really like.

0:15:560:15:59

I've had a word with the owner of the stall. It's a nice lamp base.

0:15:590:16:02

He reckons his best price is 35, but I'm going to haggle.

0:16:020:16:05

It's the end of the day, people are packing up, he may want to settle

0:16:050:16:09

and get rid of something else. So let's see how I go.

0:16:090:16:12

-Hi there.

-Hello.

-Is... What was your best price on this?

0:16:120:16:17

-The best I could do that would be £45.

-45? Oh, my goodness.

0:16:170:16:21

-How about 30?

-I'll do it for 35.

-35.

-It's a good quality lamp.

0:16:210:16:26

-Well, I like it. OK, we'll go for 35.

-Thank you.

-Brilliant.

0:16:260:16:30

-Thank you very much! I'll take it away.

-Thank you. Bye-bye.

0:16:300:16:33

Right! Well, there we have it.

0:16:330:16:37

Wasn't the exact deal that I was hoping. I was hoping for 30.

0:16:370:16:40

But I really like it. It's late Victorian.

0:16:400:16:42

This is a Corinthian column, so you've got this Corinthian top here, a reeded column.

0:16:420:16:47

You can see there used to be a pull chord out of here. So hopefully £50, something like that, I can get.

0:16:470:16:54

So not much of a profit but still a profit.

0:16:540:16:57

Right, let's go and light up his day.

0:16:570:16:59

'A triumphant sprint across the finishing line for the daring Diamond.

0:16:590:17:03

'But the Maverick isn't done yet. Despite the wind and driving rain,

0:17:030:17:08

'he's spotted one more lot that's got his pulse a-racing.'

0:17:080:17:12

This is really quite a top-of-the-range butler's tray, isn't it?

0:17:120:17:15

-It's very unusual with the turned legs.

-It is.

0:17:150:17:18

Yeah, it's a little... Just needs a bit of attention but I think it's a lovely thing.

0:17:180:17:23

Do you know anything about the provenance of it?

0:17:230:17:26

I can tell you the motto is the last Earl of Thanet

0:17:260:17:30

-and the family lived in Skipton Castle.

-Wow.

0:17:300:17:34

I love pieces of history like this. These are one-off pieces. You won't find another one.

0:17:340:17:39

-What are you looking to get on this?

-I was looking around 180.

-180?

0:17:390:17:43

Yeah. I understand, you know, that there's the bit that needs the repairs there,

0:17:430:17:49

but it's such a fascinating piece to me.

0:17:490:17:52

And is that the very best?

0:17:520:17:55

It's raining, it's cash, 150.

0:17:550:17:58

150.

0:17:580:18:00

-You're tempted, aren't you?

-150.

0:18:010:18:04

I'm not going to let the damage rain on my parade

0:18:040:18:07

and I'm going to take a punt with it. Please, someone want it.

0:18:070:18:11

'A colossal end to the day for the Brighton titan. It's been an epic showdown at this soggy antiques fair

0:18:110:18:18

'but now it's time to find out who spent what.

0:18:180:18:22

'Our treasure-hunting Trojans started the day with £750 each.

0:18:220:18:27

'Mark bagged eight items and spent a sizeable £615.

0:18:270:18:32

'Kate splashed out only slightly more at £625,

0:18:320:18:37

'and comes away with seven lots to sell.

0:18:370:18:41

'Before they go their separate ways, our duelling duo meet up to check out the competition.'

0:18:410:18:47

-How do you think you've done?

-I'm very pleased and confident with my pieces. I bought quality.

0:18:470:18:52

-You've bought quite a lot. You've bought the bottom half of a table.

-Yes, which will be fun.

0:18:520:18:56

-Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet.

-No, OK, fine.

-But it is fun.

0:18:560:19:00

I'm quite pleased because I've managed to spend around £615.

0:19:000:19:05

That's almost the same as me, £625.

0:19:050:19:08

-What, on this?

-Yes. You look horrified.

0:19:080:19:11

I bought things in pairs today. I bought a pair of brass lamps, or bronze lamps. I quite like those.

0:19:110:19:16

And a single lamp. It was a day for lamps. And this, I've got people who go to picnics and concerts

0:19:160:19:22

who'll go for that. Do you think we should toast our success to buying.

0:19:220:19:25

Well, let's hope so. Come on, get the bottle open.

0:19:250:19:28

One for you.

0:19:280:19:30

'It took stamina and determination for our two mighty gladiators to battle through the elements

0:19:320:19:38

'and make their purchases. But that was just the start.

0:19:380:19:43

'Now they must both sell like they've never sold before.

0:19:430:19:46

'Back in their respective corners, our feisty fighters survey their treasures

0:19:460:19:51

'and plan their means of attack. The Lincolnshire Diamond is feeling chipper.'

0:19:510:19:56

Well, the Swinderby Antiques Fair basically drove me to drink, literally.

0:19:560:20:00

This hamper. It's my favourite. It's full of wine. How can you not like that?

0:20:000:20:04

Maybe I do regret buying these architectural pillars.

0:20:040:20:07

I think I paid too much for them and there's going to be a really tricky job to get a profit.

0:20:070:20:12

Maybe the same sort of thing with this magazine rack. I love the copper garden table, it's brilliant.

0:20:120:20:17

And the lamps I love. Sticking with lamps, I bought a single Corinthian column brass lamp.

0:20:170:20:22

Also, which isn't here cos it's so heavy, the stone planter. I might have made a few expensive errors,

0:20:220:20:27

but what was he thinking with the table legs without a table top?

0:20:270:20:31

Goodness knows. Erm, would it be unsporting to hope he's struggling? I don't think so.

0:20:310:20:36

'Yes, the gloves are off. But does the diamond diva have a point?

0:20:360:20:40

'In sunny Brighton, the Maverick is sensing a few grey clouds ahead.'

0:20:400:20:44

These are my purchases from the antiques fair. Cased 1930s Art Deco fish server.

0:20:440:20:50

A lovely 19th century French ladies' walking cane.

0:20:500:20:53

An Art Deco French poodle lamp.

0:20:530:20:56

A rather sweet and charming Victorian miniature tantalis.

0:20:560:21:00

Not much to say on this. It's a yard of ale. I love the candlestick,

0:21:000:21:04

but I did pay a lot of money for it and potentially, at this stage, that could even land me a loss.

0:21:040:21:10

The tables legs also are great fun but not everybody wants heavy carved oak furniture.

0:21:100:21:16

And even though I love the butler's tray and I would adore it in my own home,

0:21:160:21:21

that again was quite a lot of money and I've got to spend more money on it to restore it.

0:21:210:21:25

So fingers crossed it'll turn me a profit.

0:21:250:21:27

'Both our brave warriors get stuck in,

0:21:270:21:30

'scouring their contacts books, hitting their phones and leaving no stone unturned

'in this race for maximum profit.

0:21:350:21:37

'But until they've shaken on it and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.

0:21:370:21:43

'It's diamond girl Kate who's first out of the traps.

0:21:430:21:46

'She bought her copper-top table with local florist Tracy in mind.

0:21:460:21:50

'Now it's the moment of truth. Can she make a profit on the £25 she paid?'

0:21:500:21:55

Here's my table. First impressions.

0:21:550:21:57

-Yes, it's nice. It's quirky. I like the curved edges.

-It's a copper top which has been hand-cut.

0:21:570:22:03

Very much in the Arts & Crafts style, so Newlyn School type thing. It's not signed.

0:22:030:22:07

-I think it is just a piece someone's put together.

-Yes, it's nice. I could put flowers in vases on top

0:22:070:22:14

-because that's nice and stable. It looks like it comes off, as well.

-Yep. Perfect for cleaning.

0:22:140:22:19

-So are you interested in buying it?

-I think it would work well, cos it's not too big to fit in the shop.

0:22:190:22:24

I was hoping for around the £60 mark. How does that sound?

0:22:240:22:28

-Ooh. 40?

-40? Oh, crikey.

0:22:280:22:32

48! Come on! I'm sticking to my bargains!

0:22:320:22:35

-47, how about that?

-47. Brilliant. 47.

-Deal.

0:22:350:22:41

'Buying the table with Tracy in mind was inspired.

0:22:410:22:44

'That's one sale down and £22 profit in the bag.

0:22:470:22:51

'in Brighton, her rival has decided on a different approach.'

0:22:510:22:55

Right, I'm here to see Stuart with my butler's tray.

0:22:550:22:58

This guy works miracles on furniture he's restored for me in the past

0:22:580:23:02

and I'm hoping he's going to say what a wonderful bargain I got

0:23:020:23:06

and turn it into something magical.

0:23:060:23:08

-Obviously it needs quite a bit of work to the top.

-Oh, dear.

0:23:110:23:14

The stringing needs putting back in.

0:23:140:23:17

-Yes.

-We'll pull some of these splits up where it's shrunk over the years.

0:23:170:23:21

-You don't sound terribly enthusiastic.

-No, I think... The worst bit of work is the top.

0:23:210:23:26

-I am on a limited budget before we go on.

-OK.

0:23:260:23:31

'The Maverick has just £120 left in his kitty for restoration.

0:23:310:23:35

'He'd better pray the work can be done on budget or he'll end up with his table half finished.

'In Lincolnshire, Kate is on a mission to persuade interior designer Sarah

0:23:410:23:45

'that her pair of table lamps are worth well over the £150 she paid for them.'

0:23:450:23:51

I emailed you some pictures of these. What do you think in real life, in reality?

0:23:510:23:56

-They're bigger.

-They are. Big is good.

-Crikey, that's quite heavy.

0:23:560:24:00

They're probably French, but looking at the scene, they might even be Dutch.

0:24:000:24:04

-It's very continental.

-I like the subject matter there.

0:24:040:24:08

So are these of interest to you at all?

0:24:080:24:11

I'd say yes, actually, because they're quite individual.

0:24:110:24:15

I've probably got a couple of clients in mind that I could show them to

0:24:150:24:19

-and would show some interest in them, so what are you asking?

-I did pay quite a bit for them

0:24:190:24:24

because I kind of fell in love with them, so I was hoping for around the 250 mark for the pair.

0:24:240:24:29

I'd be comfortable giving you 200 for them.

0:24:290:24:31

Oh, I need a little bit more, I think.

0:24:310:24:34

How about 225? That meets in the middle.

0:24:340:24:37

Yeah, go on, then.

0:24:370:24:39

-225.

-225.

-Done.

-There isn't a key.

-Right. Now, the crunch question, Mark.

I was hoping to get maybe around 130, 140 for it.

0:25:200:25:25

Do you know what? I'm so glad I'm at home because I can go and have a lay down now.

0:25:250:25:29

-I'll tell you what. I'll split the difference.

-Oh, yes?

0:25:290:25:33

-If I can find a key to fit this...

-Yeah.

0:25:330:25:36

-Yes.

0:30:080:30:11

'selling three items in quick succession and profiting £152.

0:30:110:30:16

'Maverick Mark had a slower start

0:30:160:30:18

'but after a sudden sprint he's now also sold three items

0:30:180:30:22

'and his profit stands at £71.50.

0:30:220:30:25

'Our antiques athletes are only halfway through this gruelling selling marathon

0:30:270:30:32

'and they're putting every once of strength they have into the race.

0:30:320:30:36

'But in Brighton, the Maverick is rather out of breath.'

0:30:360:30:39

Gosh, I'm really working hard today. These are heavy.

0:30:390:30:42

Maybe I should have my gym workout in the street. What do you think?

0:30:420:30:45

Anyway, I've brought them along to a friend of mine. I've shown him some photographs on e-mail.

0:30:450:30:50

He's expressed a minor interest in them.

0:30:500:30:52

I paid 70 quid. I'm hoping to double my money.

0:30:520:30:56

Whether I'll do it or not I have no idea. But please let me put these down now.

0:30:560:31:00

'Oh, he'd better not be spent yet. Antiques dealer Jez drives a hard bargain.'

0:31:000:31:06

I like them but I'm not quite sure what to do with them. I've got a couple of ideas.

0:31:060:31:11

If I sold them to you for 100, would that give your ideas a chance to flourish and turn into a profit?

0:31:110:31:17

-I think so, yeah.

-Come closer. Look, I'm going to shake your hands now,

0:31:170:31:22

-because 100 is good enough for me if it's all right for you?

-OK.

-Great.

0:31:220:31:25

I'm so pleased. I've just sold those table legs and made £30 profit on them.

0:31:280:31:34

'An ecstatic Maverick rightly celebrates his £30 cash profit.

0:31:340:31:38

'He continues his scorching selling spree in nearby Hove

0:31:380:31:42

'by bringing his £70 ladies' walking cane to collector Enrico.'

0:31:420:31:47

I thought it was 19th century French. What do you think?

0:31:470:31:50

-I think it's Russian.

-Russian?

-Russian.

-Why do you think it's Russian?

0:31:500:31:53

Well, primarily because it's sort of a one-off prize

0:31:530:31:58

for a contest, an art contest.

0:31:580:32:02

And the Russians liked to use hardstone.

0:32:020:32:07

This particular one is the first one I've seen that was engraved like that.

0:32:070:32:12

Ordinarily it's very highly-polished hardstone.

0:32:120:32:15

But this is really sweet. I mean, that is a super piece.

0:32:150:32:20

So stop tempting me. What's it going to cost me?

0:32:200:32:23

-Well, now you've told me it's Russian, it could be Faberge.

-Oh, gee!

0:32:230:32:28

It could be... It's a one-off, it's unique.

0:32:280:32:30

Originally I thought something like £180.

0:32:300:32:36

To maintain my reputation, I've got to beat you down.

0:32:360:32:41

-You have to beat me down.

-I mean, there is no alternative.

0:32:410:32:43

Everybody has been beating me down. I'm quite used to it by now.

0:32:430:32:47

-Just be happy it wasn't with the cane.

-HE LAUGHS

0:32:470:32:50

Now, I was thinking something in the area of about 140.

0:32:500:32:56

Could I just maybe tempt you up a fiver? 145?

0:32:560:33:00

Well, seeing as you've gone through all of this fore-work,

0:33:000:33:05

-er, yes.

-Fantastic!

-It's a deal.

0:33:050:33:09

'So the Russian cane nets the Brighton hustler

0:33:090:33:11

'an impressive £75 profit.

0:33:110:33:14

'In Cambridge, rock-hard Diamond Kate is hoping her brass lamp stand

0:33:140:33:19

'will brighten antique shop owner Brenda's day enough for her to make some money on the £35 she paid.'

0:33:190:33:25

Do you know, I'm going to take that. That's brilliant. 48. Thank you very much.

0:33:250:33:29

'And she's also got reason to celebrate

0:33:290:33:31

'as she picks up an easy £13 profit.

0:33:310:33:34

'From Cambridge to the Big Smoke. Kate's brought her pillars along to a movie prop suppliers in London.

0:33:340:33:40

'They cost her a blockbusting £280.

0:33:400:33:42

'So she'll need all her sparkle to deliver a convincing profit.'

0:33:420:33:47

Thanks for giving me a hand, Julia. What an amazing place. Tell me about it.

0:33:470:33:52

Well, we actually supply props and scenery, architectural scenery to the TV and film industry.

0:33:520:33:59

I'm hoping you'll be interested in my pillars. What are your first impressions?

0:33:590:34:03

I think they would complement our range of columns and plinths that we actually do hire out.

0:34:030:34:08

-Is there a lot of call for that kind of stuff, columns and things?

-Yes, there is.

0:34:080:34:13

So I think it could be quite a useful item for us to have.

0:34:130:34:18

We may like to see what we can do on those.

0:34:180:34:20

-OK, well, price-wise...

-Oh, OK.

-..I was hoping for around the £400 mark.

0:34:200:34:26

-That's about £200 each. It's good solid wood.

-Hm.

0:34:260:34:31

I really don't think I could go to that.

0:34:310:34:35

-Something between 275, 300.

-Oh, my goodness. That's very low.

0:34:350:34:40

Er, well, I can come down a bit. What about 350? Meet in the middle.

0:34:400:34:45

325 is really the maximum I can do on that. It really is.

0:34:450:34:50

Round number, 330, and we've got a deal.

0:34:500:34:53

-OK.

-Yeah?

-OK.

-That's fantastic. I will take that 330. Let's shake on it.

0:34:530:34:58

'And the £50 profit goes to... Kate Bateman for her wooden pillars.

0:34:580:35:04

'A supremely delivered performance.

0:35:040:35:06

'The Diamond lights up the screen with her haggling skills.'

0:35:060:35:10

What can I say? I'm truly honoured. I didn't expect this. I've got nothing planned.

0:35:100:35:14

I'd like to thank my mum, dad, husband and children,

0:35:140:35:16

but most of all, Mark Stacey, without whom none of this would have been possible.

0:35:160:35:20

To a worthy opponent. Thank you, Mark.

0:35:200:35:23

'Our leading lady is a natural winner.

0:35:230:35:25

'Speaking of the Maverick, he's at a Spanish restaurant in Brighton,

0:35:250:35:29

'to see if manager Kareem will buy his yard of ale glass as a novelty decoration.

0:35:290:35:34

'It cost him £13 and he's looking for mucho profito.'

0:35:340:35:40

This is what we call a yard of ale.

0:35:400:35:43

-All right.

-So you'd fill this up with beer.

-All the way up?

-All the way to the top.

0:35:430:35:48

-It's quite a fun object, isn't it?

-It is quite a peculiar object.

0:35:480:35:53

-You don't get this in Spain?

-No, not that big, anyway.

0:35:530:35:56

We've got smaller ones that we put our flowers in. But not that big.

0:35:560:36:01

Well, I thought it was rather fun. I'm looking to get around £30 for it.

0:36:010:36:08

-All right.

-Would you have a budget for that?

0:36:080:36:10

Well, I guess I could check with George. He's quite mean, I have to say.

0:36:100:36:14

But we can give you a try. George is that chap at the back.

0:36:140:36:18

What do you think, George? Do you like this for £30?

0:36:180:36:21

-Do we want this to put our flowers in for £30, George?

-HE LAUGHS

0:36:220:36:27

-I think £30 would be a reasonable price for a very typical English object.

-£30.

0:36:270:36:32

-Shall we shake hands on that?

-Absolutely.

0:36:320:36:34

'Magnifico! Our Maverick matador got £17 out of Kareem,

0:36:340:36:39

'and whilst he's there, he can't resist a chance to show off some hot Spanish moves.'

0:36:390:36:45

Well, you can't say I don't work hard for my profits.

0:36:450:36:48

They're about to teach me flamenco and I've never done this before.

0:36:480:36:51

It's nerve-wracking! What makes it even worse is my partner Santiago is over there.

0:36:510:36:55

FLAMENCO MUSIC

0:36:590:37:02

'Ole! Our antiques warriors are level-pegging with just two items each left to sell.

0:37:130:37:19

'Far from letting her hair down, country girl Kate is hot-footing it to her next sale.'

0:37:190:37:23

Well, I'm here in the beautiful Lincolnshire countryside to sell my stone trough.

0:37:230:37:27

I've come to the perfect place. It's an old family friend

0:37:270:37:30

but she's also a Chelsea Flower Show winning gold medallist.

0:37:300:37:34

So she's got the perfect garden for it. I paid £90 and I'm hoping for a small profit.

0:37:340:37:39

But the best thing is I can have a sneak round her garden and get loads of ideas, as well.

0:37:390:37:44

Bunny, I have bought probably the heaviest item I could have bought, a stone trough. First impressions?

0:37:460:37:53

I like the proportions, I like its nice, neat shape.

0:37:530:37:56

It's a perfect form and size for what I had in mind,

0:37:560:38:00

-which I have been looking for for some time.

-Convenient. Excellent.

0:38:000:38:04

Well, I saw it and thought of you, as the saying goes.

0:38:040:38:07

-Because it's gnarled, old and a bit raggedy?

-No, for somebody with scope.

0:38:070:38:11

Look at this garden. You have a golden touch with things in a garden.

0:38:110:38:15

And I thought you'll have loads of ideas what to do with it.

0:38:150:38:18

I was thinking, what I love is to have an outside water bowl for my dogs.

0:38:180:38:22

Oh! Perfect. I would not have guessed dog bowl, ever, but OK, clearly it's come to the right home.

0:38:220:38:28

I was hoping for around the 160 mark for it.

0:38:280:38:32

If we went for something like 150. What would you think of that?

0:38:320:38:35

I think that's fine. I'll take 150 and shake your hand.

0:38:350:38:39

'A sensational £60 profit for the Lincolnshire belle

0:38:390:38:42

'who's not the only one finding this selling business thirsty work.'

0:38:420:38:46

'And the Diamond storms over the finishing line

0:38:460:38:49

'selling her magazine rack to contact Veronica,

0:38:490:38:52

'pulling in a final £15 profit.

0:38:520:38:54

'But on Brighton beach, the Maverick is in trouble.

0:38:540:38:58

'So far he hasn't found a buyer for his most expensive item, the crocodile candlestick,

0:38:580:39:03

'which set him back a whopping £220.'

0:39:030:39:06

I have dreams about being eaten alive by a crocodile.

0:39:060:39:11

And at this stage, I haven't found a buyer.

0:39:110:39:14

If I don't, it's going to make a big dent in my profit today.

0:39:140:39:17

I'm really worried. HE SIGHS

0:39:170:39:20

'Back in his shop, Mark tries to keep his cool,

0:39:220:39:24

'knowing his fate rests with a butler's table,

0:39:240:39:27

'and potential buyer Ethney who's expressed an interest.'

0:39:270:39:30

I've had it fully restored. All that crack has disappeared, the colours have come up.

0:39:300:39:35

This lovely inlay is now really showing its potential colour.

0:39:350:39:39

Also what I found was when we turn it over, it's inset in the back with a very old piece of baize,

0:39:390:39:46

which is actually a card surface, so it's a dual purpose butler's tray, which I think is rather exciting.

0:39:460:39:52

There's a lady who is interested in it. And I paid, including restoration, just under £300.

0:39:520:39:58

I've been sneaky, I think, and I've quoted a price of that I'm looking for of between 600 and 800.

0:39:580:40:04

Might be a bit optimistic but if I play my cards right, there could be a big profit in this.

0:40:050:40:11

I like things with armorials on it.

0:40:120:40:15

And the dealer I bought it off did mention to me something about the Earl of Thanet.

0:40:150:40:20

But what it looks like to me, it does look like a marriage piece.

0:40:200:40:25

-I see.

-Because you've got two different crests there and a pair of initials.

0:40:250:40:29

-What does that say, Mark?

-Well, I can't read the Latin.

0:40:290:40:32

-But I have translated it, and it says, "He flies by his own wings."

-Oh, I like that.

0:40:320:40:39

-That's quite nice, isn't it?

-Absolutely.

-And obviously it's referring to the phoenix or the bird.

0:40:390:40:44

-I think it's going to be around about 1840, 1850.

-1840, 1850.

0:40:440:40:50

It's certainly a lovely piece.

0:40:500:40:52

-Well, Mark, how little do you want for it?

-Well, somewhere between £600 and £800. Am I being cheeky?

0:40:520:40:59

'Oh, it's a massive moment for Brighton's cheekiest chancer.

0:41:000:41:05

'We'll find out if he was too cheeky for Ethney later on.

0:41:050:41:08

'Unfortunately for the Maverick

0:41:080:41:10

'no-one snapped up his crocodile candlestick

0:41:100:41:12

'which ended up making him a painful £220 loss. Ouch!

0:41:120:41:17

'Our worthy opponents end their selling frenzy with mixed fortunes.

0:41:170:41:21

'They both started off with £750 of their own money.

0:41:210:41:25

'Kate picked up seven items and spent a total of £625.

0:41:250:41:30

'The Maverick had eight items to sell

0:41:320:41:34

'and including his restoration costs, his total spend was £747.50.

0:41:340:41:40

'But now all that matters is profit.

0:41:400:41:43

'All of the money that Mark and Kate have made from today's challenge will go to a charity of their choice

'So, without further ado, it's time to reveal who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.'

0:41:490:41:56

-Did you do well?

-Erm, I made a profit on everything.

0:41:560:41:58

My best was the lamps, my brass lamps, the pair, they sold well. What about you?

0:41:580:42:03

-Huge downside.

-I'm guessing, is it your crocodile?

-It is. Nobody snapped it up.

0:42:030:42:07

-Oh! Oh, dear.

-I made good profits on other things like the cane

0:42:070:42:12

but I shall never buy a crocodile again, I can tell you.

0:42:120:42:14

-Well, my heart's bleeding for you, Mark.

-Yeah, look at the crocodile tears here.

0:42:140:42:19

-Come on, I'm intrigued to know.

-Shall we?

-I reckon this is going to be close.

-Is it close?

-I don't know.

0:42:190:42:24

One. Two. Three.

0:42:240:42:26

-Oh, Kate, that's a convincing win.

-Well, not much. 50 quid.

0:42:280:42:32

-But it's not over yet, you know?

-It's not over till it's over.

-By a long chalk.

0:42:320:42:37

-I'll buy you lunch. Come on, grumpy.

-I'm happy with that.

0:42:370:42:40

'It's victory for Kate today.

0:42:400:42:42

'But just how close did Maverick Mark get to scoring the £600 to £800 he wanted for his butler's table?'

0:42:420:42:49

-550?

-550. Thank you.

0:42:490:42:52

'Mark pulled off an incredible £550 for the butler's table,

0:42:520:42:56

'making him a sensational £275 profit.

0:42:560:43:01

'But even that wasn't enough to catch his rival.'

0:43:010:43:04

I got a great profit on those two bronze lamp bases, which were lovely, and my stone planter.

0:43:040:43:09

The big disappointment and let-down for me was not selling the crocodile candlestick.

0:43:090:43:14

If I'd managed to get the sort of price I wanted for that, I would have left Kate running.

0:43:140:43:20

'But tomorrow is another day and Mark could pull it all back
