0:00:02 > 0:00:04'This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:04 > 0:00:08'the show that takes the titans of the antiques trade
0:00:08 > 0:00:11'and pitches them against each other
0:00:11 > 0:00:15'to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.'
0:00:16 > 0:00:18It's amazing. Truly amazing.
0:00:18 > 0:00:23'Today mercurial Mark Stacey takes on ice queen Kate Bateman
0:00:23 > 0:00:25'in an all-out battle for profit,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29'giving you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.
0:00:29 > 0:00:33'Coming up, our dealers reveal the path to haggling heaven.'
0:00:33 > 0:00:39So we've got the two for 400 Euros, which shows if you just buy in bulk, buy two and you can get it.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42'And go potty for potential profit.'
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Blue and white is in my heart and I just have to buy it for that.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48'They've got pound signs rolling in their eyes.'
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Don't they look fabulous? I should have held out for more money.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55'It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:11'Today's fortune-hunting fight is a battle of the sexes,
0:01:11 > 0:01:16'as Mark The Maverick Stacey squares up to Kate The Diamond Bateman.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20'They both love fine art, but it'll be a rough and ready battle
0:01:20 > 0:01:24'to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques.
0:01:24 > 0:01:29'In one corner it's Brighton's biggest and baddest booty buyer.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31'He'll do anything to secure a deal,
0:01:31 > 0:01:35'but that suave exterior hides a devilish streak.'
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Oh, I wouldn't want your address, madam. Not for this, anyway.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41HE LAUGHS What am I like?
0:01:41 > 0:01:44'His opponent is the diamond of Lincolnshire. She's stylish, cunning,
0:01:44 > 0:01:50'and with her own family auction house, knows how to wield a gavel. Charm is her weapon of choice.'
0:01:50 > 0:01:55No. I think not. He's asking for a kiss as well as the 60 Euros. I'm holding firm.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59'This lord and lady know they can spend up to £750 of their own cash.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02'And with their reputations on the line,
0:02:02 > 0:02:07'the mission is to make as much profit as possible for their chosen charities.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11'They've packed their passports and brushed up on their French
0:02:11 > 0:02:15'as today's battle ground is a chic antiques market in gay Paris.
0:02:15 > 0:02:20'With 380 sellers, there's a wealth of European gems waiting to be discovered.
0:02:20 > 0:02:26'But which of our treasure-hunting Trojans will be the first to find them? Mark The Maverick Stacey
0:02:26 > 0:02:30'and Kate The Diamond Bateman, it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'
0:02:30 > 0:02:34- Bonjour. - Bonjour, Monsieur Stacey! Ca va?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Well, this is exciting, isn't it? Paris.- Gay Paris. It's lovely.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43- Crack of dawn.- It is an early start. - It is. Some of them haven't even set up yet.- This is great.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- And it's awful not to be able to get in there and get it. - What's your strategy?
0:02:47 > 0:02:51Well, we're in France, so I think we ought to go for very French things,
0:02:51 > 0:02:57- maybe things that aren't so usual in England.- I've seen a lot of nice, funky, 50s, 60s stuff
0:02:57 > 0:03:01which goes down very well in Brighton, but mixed with traditional French fare,
0:03:01 > 0:03:06- which I think I've already got buyers for. Are you worried?- Well, a little.
0:03:06 > 0:03:11- The other thing, of course, you've got an advantage over me because... - I speak a little bit of French.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14You speak the Franco lingo, don't you? And I don't.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16So I've got to rely just on my English charm.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Or Welsh charm. - You're doomed! You're doomed!
0:03:19 > 0:03:22'Ooh, the new girl's feisty!
0:03:22 > 0:03:27'Our British battlers are both desperate to leap to victory. In one corner, it's Maverick Mark.'
0:03:27 > 0:03:32My strategy really is funky, decorative items from the 30s and 50s
0:03:32 > 0:03:34mixed with a bit of traditional French fare.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39That way, I might be able to satisfy my customers back at home. But who knows? Wish me luck.
0:03:39 > 0:03:46'In the other corner, Diamond Kate, whose sparkling exterior disguises a core of pure steel.'
0:03:46 > 0:03:49So today's plan of action is quite simple. It's buy French,
0:03:49 > 0:03:54it's buy quite cheaply and beat Mark Stacey. Easy.
0:03:54 > 0:03:58'Yes, she's brimming with confidence and bursting with energy.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01'Put Your Money veteran Mark better watch his back
0:04:01 > 0:04:05'as new kid Kate races out of the starting gates as fast as a whippet.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09'Determined to buy French and armed with the local lingo,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13'the Diamond homes in on some famous-looking glass.'
0:04:13 > 0:04:17Now, look at that little baby. It's not Lalique. It's very similar.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22It's someone called Sabino of France, which I'll have to go home and look up,
0:04:22 > 0:04:26but the quality's really nice, it's got these little dragonflies on it,
0:04:26 > 0:04:31it's this sort of Vaseline glass, which is a sort of frosted, slightly opaque glass.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36It's not damaged and it's about 1925, 1930, so it's got some age. It's really cool.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40He's got it on at 295 Euros. That's quite a lot.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43That's about £260, £270.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49I don't know enough about glass to take a chance at that figure, but I reckon I can get him down a little.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51'Time to apply Kate's trademark va-va-voom.'
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Cent quatre-vingt. Non?
0:04:54 > 0:04:57THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:05:07 > 0:05:11He's saying that it's a dealer's market and a lot of dealers come here,
0:05:11 > 0:05:15so this is the very best price. He says, for a dealer, he would've charged him 250,
0:05:15 > 0:05:18but for me, it's 200 Euros, because I'm charming.
0:05:18 > 0:05:23I think I'll take him up on that. I might take a chance. It's French and I said I would go for French things.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:05:27 > 0:05:30My first purchase! It's exciting!
0:05:30 > 0:05:34'She's done it. A Lalique-style vase for nearly £182.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37'A triumphant start for the sparkling Diamond.
0:05:37 > 0:05:43'She's got the looks and the lingo, which puts her streets ahead of her tongue-tied opponent, Mark,
0:05:43 > 0:05:46'who's not exactly au fait with Francais.'
0:05:46 > 0:05:50- Parlez-vous Anglais?- Non. - Non! And I don't speak French. What can we do?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Where did you get it from? SHE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:05:55 > 0:05:57I'm lost.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00How much? SHE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:06:01 > 0:06:05They're consulting now. The price is going up.
0:06:05 > 0:06:07Cent cinquante? 25?
0:06:07 > 0:06:11SHE SPEAKS FRENCH What did she say?
0:06:11 > 0:06:15'Oh, come on, Maverick! Whilst you're floundering with the French,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18'the Diamond's proving to be a treasure-hunting tornado!'
0:06:18 > 0:06:21OK, so these are quite fun. I've just seen these.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25The lady said these are two for 5 Euros and that's got to be cheap. Two for £4?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28They're old soda bottles, and it's called Diabolo Sport.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Belgique? She's saying they're Belgian, so from Belgique. But it's written in French.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37I said I was going to go for stuff with French writing on, so I'm pleased with that.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Trois pour cinq Euro?- Oui.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43Three for 5 Euros. If I can't make a profit out of that, I'm in the wrong game.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47'Kate's brimming with confidence. A trio of bottles for just under £5
0:06:47 > 0:06:49'is bang on strategy.'
0:06:49 > 0:06:54Brilliant. I'm really pleased with those. Not a lot of money, so I'm buying cheap and chic.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57I'm hoping somebody's going to like those.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00'Our priceless Diamond now has two buys in the bag.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03'This determined newcomer is burning her way through the market
0:07:03 > 0:07:06'on a Parisian charm offensive.'
0:07:06 > 0:07:08# Well, she's all you'd ever want
0:07:08 > 0:07:12# She's the kind I'd like to flaunt and take to dinner
0:07:14 > 0:07:17# She's a lady
0:07:17 > 0:07:19# Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady
0:07:19 > 0:07:23'And while our glittering ice queen lures in the sellers with a smile,
0:07:23 > 0:07:26'her arch enemy is yet to seal his first deal.
0:07:26 > 0:07:29'So he's employing a rather unusual strategy.'
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Isn't this absolutely horrible?
0:07:32 > 0:07:39It's very kitsch, isn't it? It's a sort of 1950s/1960s little dressing table.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43All mirrored glass with these rather 18th century scenes on there.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47What looks like the original handle.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Would you want to sit in front of that doing your hair at night? I would.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55'Hm. That paints a lovely picture, Mark. Now get in there and seal the deal.'
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- OK.- Well done. Thank you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02Well, the dealer just said to me 130 and I said lower, he said no.
0:08:02 > 0:08:07I was hoping for 100, but I got it for 120. I managed to knock another 10 Euros off.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11I'm absolutely thrilled cos I think there's a jolly good profit in that.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Kate, I hope you're watching. You need to get a move on, girl.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'Ooh, fighting talk from the Maverick. He's back in the game,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22'snapping up a kitsch mirrored dressing table for just under £110.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26'Both our mighty warriors are prowling the market for bargains,
0:08:26 > 0:08:29'but is our newbie still getting to grips with the challenge?'
0:08:29 > 0:08:34And I do seem to be able to pick out the most expensive things on every stall.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37That's not necessarily a good thing, considering my limited budget.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42And the fact that I'm not buying for myself, it's buying stuff for profit,
0:08:42 > 0:08:47which is a bit counter-intuitive for me. I just want to buy it and keep it forever.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50'Focus, Kate, it's profit, profit, profit today.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54'If you forget that, you'll be handing the Maverick victory on a plate.'
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- Oh!- 'Next up is a fine art stall.'
0:08:56 > 0:09:00- Francais?- 'That looks pricey.'
0:09:00 > 0:09:06Oh, this is interesting. This looks like the design for a stained-glass window
0:09:06 > 0:09:11with these really thick lines. It's quite interesting. It's a pen and ink.
0:09:11 > 0:09:16It's a strange thing to buy, I have to say, and it's not the sort of thing I was looking for,
0:09:16 > 0:09:20but it's quite interesting and I do need to start buying some stuff.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23I do like that one, as well. That's a really lovely painting.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28I think this is a really nice thing. The condition's really good. It's beautifully painted.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33You've got a bit of over-painting in the corner, but the light is lovely.
0:09:33 > 0:09:39It's a shame it's not signed. That would put the icing on the cake. But it's so nice, an interesting scene.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Mason, English School, he says.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50425. Crikey, that's still...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53If I could get it for 300 Euros, that might be doable.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55I'll ask about this one, as well.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:09:58 > 0:10:02So that one he would do for 100 Euros, which would be about £70.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07If I could get that one for... 300 Euros,
0:10:07 > 0:10:10that would be 400 Euros. I'd be spending quite a lot of money.
0:10:10 > 0:10:14'What happened to cheap and chic? The Diamond's been dazzled.
0:10:14 > 0:10:21'Talking of strategies forgotten, our Brighton warrior's next find is hardly French or funky.'
0:10:21 > 0:10:2330 Euros? Done.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Merci, Madame.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Now, that was a very quick deal.
0:10:29 > 0:10:34The last thing I thought I was going to buy in the middle of Paris
0:10:34 > 0:10:38was a piece of English blue and white transfer-printed ware.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41But as soon as I saw the shape and the pattern...
0:10:41 > 0:10:46I'm not even going to look underneath, it's made by Spode or Copeland and Spode,
0:10:46 > 0:10:50it's called the Italian pattern. The pattern was invented around about 1810.
0:10:50 > 0:10:55It's been a huge success for the Spode factory, it's been produced right up to today,
0:10:55 > 0:10:59and if we turn it over, we have a lovely little back stamp here,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02Copeland Spode Italian pattern.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04But this would date it to the 1920s and 1930s.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07But it's such a wonderfully English shape.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10And for 30 Euros,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14which is about £26, £27, I'm not going to make a huge amount.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19But I used to be the honorary secretary of the Friends Of Blue.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23That's nothing naughty. That's the Blue and White Collectors' Club.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Blue and white is in my heart and I just have to buy it for that.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'A very British vase for under £30.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33'Way off strategy, but another deal in the bag for the Maverick.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37'The collectables carnage is well underway, but clever Kate
0:11:37 > 0:11:40'is about to seal a very expensive deal.'
0:11:40 > 0:11:44THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:11:44 > 0:11:48Look, I've twisted his arm! 400 Euros! Merci!
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Oh, yay! So, we've got the two for 400 Euros,
0:11:52 > 0:11:55which shows if you just buy in bulk, buy two, you can get it.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59'A colossal purchase of just under £364.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01'The challenge notches up a gear
0:12:01 > 0:12:05'as the Diamond splashes nearly half her budget in one go.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07'It's time for these titans to compare notes,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10'but is our newcomer having doubts?'
0:12:10 > 0:12:15I spent quite a lot of my money straight away on stuff that I'm not entirely convinced is a good idea.
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- What about you? - I'm very pleased. I've bought... - You're smug. What have you done?
0:12:19 > 0:12:25Well, no, I've bought the funkiest thing you've ever seen and you'll be wanting it for your boudoir.
0:12:25 > 0:12:31- My boudoir.- So do you think, honestly, that everything you've bought could go pear-shaped?
0:12:31 > 0:12:36- Oh, completely. No question about it.- I hope it doesn't, obviously. - Yes, you do!
0:12:36 > 0:12:41- Of course I don't. - You want to see me sink to the bottom.- Course I don't, Kate!
0:12:42 > 0:12:47'Mark and Kate both started the day with £750 of their own money.
0:12:47 > 0:12:52'Mark has bought just two items, parting with just over £136,
0:12:52 > 0:12:56'leaving him nearly £614 still to play with.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59'Kate has splashed the cash on four items
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'with a whopping combined total of just over £550,
0:13:03 > 0:13:06'leaving just under £200 in her kitty.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09'So in the battle of the sexes,
0:13:09 > 0:13:11'it's Kate who's bagged the most booty so far.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13'But there's everything to play for.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18'As we kick off round two of this Parisian profit hunt,
0:13:18 > 0:13:24'the pressure mounts on our daring duo to sniff out the best bargains from under their arch rival's nose.
0:13:24 > 0:13:29'Put Your Money new girl Kate has taken to this challenge like a duck to water.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32'But Mark's triumphant talk is ringing in her ears.'
0:13:32 > 0:13:37OK, so now I'm a bit worried, because Mark seemed quietly smug there
0:13:37 > 0:13:40and it makes me think he's made some really good purchases,
0:13:40 > 0:13:42so I'm a bit worried that I've maybe overspent.
0:13:42 > 0:13:48But I have not peaked too soon, because I've seen a few things that I'll buy and they're really cheap,
0:13:48 > 0:13:52which I know is unusual for me, but I have not lost this game yet, Mark Stacey.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57'Kate's mind is racing with strategies. But like a diamond, this girl is hard.
0:13:57 > 0:14:01'Maverick Mark has money to burn and treasure in his sights.'
0:14:01 > 0:14:05A little trinket box. I like the fact that it's got a little armorial.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- I was thinking maybe 35 Euros.- 35?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14- OK, 35.- 35? Thank you very much.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19'The Sussex smoothie swoops in with another purchase for nearly £32.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21'He means business. It's all-out war today,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25'but one of our profit-seeking missiles is having a moment of self-doubt.'
0:14:25 > 0:14:31I'm currently having a bit of a moment where I'm experiencing buyer's remorse here.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36Let's just recap what I've bought. I bought two pictures, which although I like them, are not signed
0:14:36 > 0:14:38and I don't know anything about the artists,
0:14:38 > 0:14:43glass that looks like Lalique that I don't know anything about. And some bottles of fizzy pop
0:14:43 > 0:14:46without the fizzy pop. I may be in trouble.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51# There may be trouble ahead
0:14:51 > 0:14:53That's way too much money.
0:14:53 > 0:14:59# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance
0:14:59 > 0:15:03# Let's face the music and dance
0:15:03 > 0:15:07I knew this would be a problem. I just want to buy everything for myself.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Let's hope Kate isn't getting as cross-eyed as this gentleman is.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15'Oh, come on, Kate, it's all about profit, not personal shopping.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20'You need to focus, as the unstoppable machine that is the Maverick rolls on.'
0:15:20 > 0:15:23That's quite a pretty little box. It's 19th century
0:15:23 > 0:15:26and it's got a nice little carry handle of cut and polished steel,
0:15:26 > 0:15:31so I'm thinking this is probably made around about 1860, 1870.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36In honest condition. It hasn't been touched. It's got some signs of age.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39If you look at the mirror inside, there's a little bit of damage,
0:15:39 > 0:15:43but we're looking at something which is 140 years old.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47I've got a little bit of damage after 35 years of age.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50'35? If you say so, Mark.'
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- Bonjour. How much is this? - It's 60 Euros.- 60 Euros?
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- Yes.- Now, that's about £54, something like this.
0:15:57 > 0:15:59Could we get near to 40 Euros?
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Oh, I'm sorry, I can't. 50 is the best price.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05- 48?- Best price, 50.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07- 49.50?- If you want.
0:16:07 > 0:16:1149.50. Done. Thank you very much, sir.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Look, every 50 cents helps, doesn't it?
0:16:13 > 0:16:16'It certainly does. Bagging the box for £45,
0:16:16 > 0:16:21'Stacey levels the playing field, taking the score to four-all.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23'And before long he grabs another weighty bargain,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27'two glass paperweights for just under £14.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31'With time marching on, can the Diamond pull herself out of the trouble trench
0:16:31 > 0:16:33'and show us some sparkle?'
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I quite like these. They're champagne buckets.
0:16:36 > 0:16:41And I said I wanted to get stuff with French writing. I've just bought one of these in England.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45I won't tell you how much I paid, but it was considerably more than he's asking here.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48He's only asking 12 Euros. That's only about £10.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52I reckon if I buy more than one, we can beat him down on price.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56'That bulk-buying tactic again. She's merciless.'
0:16:56 > 0:16:59Let's try him on 15 Euros for two.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03SHE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- Non. Non.- Non? - SHE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:17:07 > 0:17:11THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:17:11 > 0:17:15He's asking where I'm from. Now I've said England, he'll be doubling the price.
0:17:15 > 0:17:1918. 18 Euros. He's taken pity on me and I'm going to go for it.
0:17:19 > 0:17:23- Dix-huit Euro? Parfait. Merci. - HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:17:23 > 0:17:26Oh. Yeah, for anyone else, it would've been much less money,
0:17:26 > 0:17:29but cos we're English, it's 18.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32'Ooh. Are our British beauty's charms wearing thin?
0:17:32 > 0:17:35'That's just over £16 for the buckets.
0:17:35 > 0:17:40'The clock's ticking on today's challenge and as they rev up for a final sprint to the finish line,
0:17:40 > 0:17:44- 'both our warriors are feeling the heat.' - # The heat is on
0:17:44 > 0:17:47- # It's on the street - 'And savvy Stacey is all action.'
0:17:47 > 0:17:52This is a huge piece of crystal glass made in Lorraine, they say,
0:17:52 > 0:17:55and it is marked on the bottom.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Crystal of Lorraine.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02- Monsieur, what is your best price? - Would be 25.- Oh, come on, sir.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05- You're packing up. - Exceptionally I can make 20.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- 18?- No. 18, no.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09- That would be no.- 19.
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- 19 Euros.- No! I can make 20. - Thank you very much.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19'After that titanic tussle, Mark bags the bowl for a touch over £18.'
0:18:19 > 0:18:21# Soon turned out had a heart of glass
0:18:21 > 0:18:28'And he doesn't stop there. In no time at all, racy Stacey is green for go with an illuminating object.'
0:18:28 > 0:18:34What I'm thinking of buying are a pair of French traffic lights.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37But they're 150 Euros each, which is a lot of money
0:18:37 > 0:18:41cos I'd have to get them converted again in Britain.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45But they are quite funky. If, of course, you can find the right buyer for them.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47And that is the trick question.
0:18:47 > 0:18:51I think I might offer him 200 Euros for the two.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54'Go on, Mark, get in there!'
0:18:54 > 0:18:59Can you take, for the two, 200 Euros?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Bless you.- Merci.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Well, 200 Euros I'm paying for those
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and I don't know whether it's going to be green for go
0:19:09 > 0:19:12or more probably red for full stop.
0:19:12 > 0:19:17'Wham! At nearly £182, that's his biggest purchase so far.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20'And with no stop sign in sight, he quickly snaps up
0:19:20 > 0:19:24'a Bohemian glass vase for just over £45.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26'Is it all over for our Lincolnshire lady?'
0:19:26 > 0:19:31It's down to literally the last few stalls now and I'm beginning to panic a little bit.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33'Come on, Kate, don't give up.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38'It's a mad dash to bag the last booty
0:19:38 > 0:19:42'and our sparkling ice queen has something in her sights.'
0:19:42 > 0:19:47So I'm having a look at these. I had a look earlier in the day and I've come back cos I remembered them.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51I'm thinking about them, and that tends to mean I'll regret it if I don't buy them.
0:19:51 > 0:19:56They're designs for French furniture. I want them framed, but I think they're saleable, attractive.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00So maybe if I could get them for...60 Euros each,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03that's £50 each, that might be good. Or £50 for the pair.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06That's probably got a good profit in it for me. So I'll ask the guy.
0:20:06 > 0:20:10SHE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Ooh-la-la.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16THEY SPEAK FRENCH
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I'm telling him it's the end of the day.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22- Soixante?- Oui.- Oh! He's gone for it!
0:20:22 > 0:20:26I knew I'd find a bargain right at the end of the day. Brilliant.
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- I think this is pretty much all I've got left in the world. 60 Euros.- 60.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Soixante. He's going to check it.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- My money is good. - HE SPEAKS FRENCH
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Non. I think not. He's asking for a kiss as well as the 60 Euros. I'm holding firm.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42'Well, you can't blame a bloke for trying.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45'A final £55 purchase for the Diamond.
0:20:45 > 0:20:50'She's had the sellers eating out of the palm of her manicured hand.'
0:20:50 > 0:20:53# She's a lady
0:20:53 > 0:20:56# Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady
0:20:57 > 0:21:02'So, with the Parisian market over, it's time to tot up the totals.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07'Mark and Kate arrived en France with £750 each.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10'Mark ended up with eight items but spent modestly
0:21:10 > 0:21:13'at just over £472.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16'Kate bagged less with six items
0:21:16 > 0:21:20'but splashed out nearly £621.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24'Before they head back to Blighty, our lord and lady of the fair
0:21:24 > 0:21:28- 'get the chance to check out the competition.' - I really regret the painting.
0:21:28 > 0:21:34- I think I paid too much.- I have to say, I'm desperate to find out what on earth you thought you were doing.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38- I don't know. It was a moment of madness.- The oil painting. Did you like the frame?
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- The frame is nice.- It'd make a lovely mirror.- Oh, how rude!
0:21:41 > 0:21:47That may be my bete noire. Come on, what have you got? I like the little casket, I'll give you that.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50- This! What were you thinking? - Oh, that's my favourite buy!
0:21:50 > 0:21:54Do you know, that's spent the last 50 years in a Parisian attic.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58It should spend the next 50 years in a Parisian attic.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- In Brighton, I'm going to make a fortune on that.- Only in Brighton.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04Stamford would not put that in their skips.
0:22:06 > 0:22:12'For our antiques aces, buying the treasures was only the first part of their epic shoot-out.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16'Now it's time for the Maverick and the Diamond to dust off their contact books,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20'fasten their seatbelts and ramp up to jet speed as they start selling.'
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Is it you that's going to be buying them rather than David?
0:22:24 > 0:22:27'Profit is the name of the game, and in Northamptonshire,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31'Put Your Money newbie and busy mum Kate is feeling the heat.'
0:22:31 > 0:22:35Looking at the stuff now, I've got a couple of regrets.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38This painting I paid too much for, and almost the same goes for this.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Mark steered clear of pictures and I kind of see why.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44'Of course, that hasn't escaped her arch enemy's attention.'
0:22:44 > 0:22:48Looking at her items, I think there's a few real problems.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53The picture she bought was absolutely... I have to say hideous.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55'Don't count your chickens though, Mark.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58'The Diamond has some weapons of mass destruction in her arsenal.'
0:22:58 > 0:23:04The other stuff I bought, I love. The champagne buckets, easy to sell. I don't think they'll be a problem.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08The bottles were really cheap. The Sabino glass vase, I really like it,
0:23:08 > 0:23:16and I've done more research and Sabino is a really good, well-known 1920s, 1930s Art Deco designer.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20These are really nice, too. Quite classy. I can see those framed up somewhere nice.
0:23:20 > 0:23:25'She may be new to this challenge but our rock-hard lady grew up in the antiques trade
0:23:25 > 0:23:29'and she's determined to secure profit with a capital P!
0:23:29 > 0:23:33'But she's got a fierce opponent in Brighton-based Mark.'
0:23:33 > 0:23:38And I bought, in the main, what I consider to be very interesting and good lots.
0:23:38 > 0:23:44I bought the stunning 1950s mirror dressing table, which I think is stunning but nobody else does so far.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47A Copeland Spode Italian vase, typically English.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51Two paperweights in the form of a sapphire and ruby.
0:23:51 > 0:23:56A nice 19th century silver-plated box. A Bohemian overlay glass vase.
0:23:56 > 0:24:02An iconic glass dish which I said I would never buy in a million years, and I bought one.
0:24:02 > 0:24:06A rather nice French mid-19th century mahogany box.
0:24:06 > 0:24:12And the most ridiculous thing of all, a pair of French traffic lights. What was I thinking?
0:24:12 > 0:24:14'The Maverick thrives under pressure.
0:24:14 > 0:24:19'It's going to be a dastardly dog fight between these two today.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24'Our daring duo hit the phones to start flexing those profit-hunting pecs.
0:24:24 > 0:24:29'Remember, until they shake on it and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:31 > 0:24:36'The cunning Diamond heads straight to Stamford, home to her family auction house
0:24:36 > 0:24:40'and plenty of contacts, including vintage store owner Angela.
0:24:40 > 0:24:45'She's hoping to net a nifty profit for the trio of bottles she bought for just under £5.'
0:24:45 > 0:24:51- I saw these and thought of you. - Lady bottles.- What do you think? Lady bottles. Aren't they cool?
0:24:51 > 0:24:56- I love them. They're French.- Yes. And this is authentic French dirt. I haven't even cleaned them out.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- I love French dirt. - You can over-clean them, you know? A bit of authenticity.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02- I love it. - I think they're 1950s.- Yeah.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06Diabolo Sport, she's doing this toy when you have this thing on a rope.
0:25:06 > 0:25:12How cool are they? And I thought as a lady who does vintage stuff, bottles and all sorts...
0:25:12 > 0:25:15- Yes, bottles and ladies.- And ladies, it's right up your street.
0:25:15 > 0:25:20- I love them. I am interested, but...- As ever...- Tell me.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23In my head I'm thinking £10 each, £30.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- £10 each bottle? - Yeah. £30 for the three.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30They are really cool, and where else would you get one, apart from a French antiques market,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- where else in England are you going to find one? - You've done this before.
0:25:34 > 0:25:40- Is it working? Is it working? - £10 a bottle is too much.- Right.
0:25:40 > 0:25:45- What about £8 per bottle?- I was going to say £8 a bottle, so 24 and then another one for luck.
0:25:45 > 0:25:51- 25 cos it's a round number. - I like round numbers. What is it in French?- Vingt-cinq.- Vingt-cinq.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54I think I'm happy with vingt-cinq pounds for the three bottles.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59- I don't know what "it's a deal" is in French, but it's a deal. - Thank you very much.
0:25:59 > 0:26:04- # Say ooh-la-la - 'Ooh-la-la! There's no holding back the new girl.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08'Canny Kate pockets her first profit of just over £20.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11'On the south coast, the Brighton titan is trying to sell
0:26:11 > 0:26:17'the wooden box he bought for £45 to collector Liz.'
0:26:17 > 0:26:21- It's lovely. Oh, it's exquisite, Mark.- I love the colour.
0:26:21 > 0:26:26- Oh, I do like that.- I think it... I thought it was beautiful. - It's just lovely.
0:26:26 > 0:26:32They've even finished, as a little sign of quality, they've finished the edging off here in a sort of ebony.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- They have. Yes. - From around about 1860.- Oh, really? - So, it's mid-19th century.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41- Yes. - I was looking between 80 and 100.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- Oh, really? Yes. - So what are your feelings on that?
0:26:46 > 0:26:51I would like to offer you 80. Would you accept 80?
0:26:51 > 0:26:56- I'd be delighted to accept 80. - Thank you, Mark. That's lovely. I would love to have it.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- Thank you so much, darling. - Thank you very much.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04'Nice work by the Brighton charmer. £35 profit in the bag.
0:27:04 > 0:27:06'He quickly makes it two in a row
0:27:06 > 0:27:09'when he sells his Bohemian vase to collector Rosie.'
0:27:09 > 0:27:12£75.50.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15'That tops up his profit pot by just over £30.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18'Our profit-hunting powerhouses have hit the ground running.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21'But in Northamptonshire, it's crunch time
0:27:21 > 0:27:25'as the Diamond tackles one of her worrisome pictures head on.'
0:27:26 > 0:27:29Now, I've come to see a lovely chap called George
0:27:29 > 0:27:34because I'm hoping he's going to be interested in my stained-glass panel or my window-drawing panel.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37He's an expert in Renaissance and 16th century glass.
0:27:37 > 0:27:43I paid about £90 for it so anything over £100 would be an absolute bonus. Let's go and meet him.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46'Come on, Diamond. We're rooting for you.'
0:27:46 > 0:27:51- Now, I know you're a collector but this isn't really your sort of field.- No, no, it isn't.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55It's fun. It's a fun piece.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Do you think you might be able to sell it to one of your contacts, maybe?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I shall probably use it as a sort of talking point.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Oh, there we go. So I suppose, getting to the point, how much is a talking point worth?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Actually, this is where you start doing the talking.- Ah.
0:28:10 > 0:28:17- Believe it or not, you're selling, I'm buying.- Hopefully. Well, £200, something like that.- Ah.
0:28:17 > 0:28:24- Well, may I counter?- Go on, then. - You started at the top of your list. Let me start and let me say £100.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29- OK. I can come down a little. - I hope you can.
0:28:29 > 0:28:35- How about we meet in the middle? How about 150?- Erm, make it 125.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38How about 130? Final haggle. Every penny counts for me.
0:28:38 > 0:28:43- 130 and I'd be really happy with that, cos it is very specialist, I have to admit.- OK. 130.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Yeah?- Yes, indeed. - Brilliant. 130. We'll shake on it. Thank you very much.- Pleasure.
0:28:48 > 0:28:52'She's done it. That's just over £39 profit
0:28:52 > 0:28:56'and the first of Kate's problematic pictures out of her hair.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59'This diamond dealer knows how to work her contacts book.
0:28:59 > 0:29:02'She's got stiff competition in the south coast colossus, though.'
0:29:02 > 0:29:06Well, it's a very bracing morning here in Sussex, as you can see,
0:29:06 > 0:29:11and I've just come up the coast from Brighton to see a friend of mine, Andy,
0:29:11 > 0:29:15who own a large pub here and has expressed an interest in my French traffic lights.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19I paid just over £180 for these, quite a lot of money.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22And I've been rather cheeky in asking quite a lot for them,
0:29:22 > 0:29:26but whether it's a green light or not, I don't know yet, I'm just about to find out.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30'Well, you can certainly stop traffic with your shirt, Mark,
0:29:30 > 0:29:35'To ensure there's no safety risk, Mark's had the old wiring removed at a cost of £5.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37'So, can he light up a profit?'
0:29:37 > 0:29:41- I've shown you some photographs of these.- It doesn't do them justice.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I bought them in Paris as a wacky five minutes, the fair was closing,
0:29:44 > 0:29:48I saw them and thought, "They're so funky, someone will love them."
0:29:48 > 0:29:52I think they're really nice. I think once they're lit up and sparkling away,
0:29:52 > 0:29:56maybe a little bit of restoration, they'll look fabulous.
0:29:56 > 0:30:01- Anywhere particular in mind for them? - Oh, yes, I think they'll fit very nicely on the wall up there.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04One either side of the mirror would look very good.
0:30:04 > 0:30:09I did mention in my e-mail, Andy, a rather cheeky figure.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12- Yes, I thought that was cheeky, as well.- £300, wasn't it?
0:30:12 > 0:30:17- How cheeky is that, do you think? - Erm, quite a bit.- Oh, dear.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20This is where it's all going to go terribly wrong.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Erm, I would be looking more about half that, I think. - HE GASPS
0:30:24 > 0:30:27- Oh, gosh. - 'Ouch! That would be a loss.'
0:30:27 > 0:30:34They are very nice but they need rewiring and they're small and... How about 220?
0:30:34 > 0:30:37- 230.- 225.
0:30:41 > 0:30:45Well, I tell you what, if I settle on 225,
0:30:45 > 0:30:49- you've got to get them up on the wall and work it, and I'll come back... - Will do that.
0:30:49 > 0:30:53- ..and do a grand illumination. - That would be fabulous, yes.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56'Well, after that almighty tussle,
0:30:56 > 0:30:59'our hero emerges victorious with just over £38 profit.
0:30:59 > 0:31:04'And a few weeks later he returns to get the party started.'
0:31:04 > 0:31:07It gives me great pleasure to give these lights the green light.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11# So you better get this party started THEY CHEER
0:31:14 > 0:31:17Don't they look fabulous?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19I should have held out for more money.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23'Well, it's too late now, Mark, the deal's done and dusted.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26'Maverick's had his moment in the limelight and he's three-two up.
0:31:26 > 0:31:32'But his nemesis is blazing a profit-seeking trail across the British countryside.'
0:31:32 > 0:31:36I've brought my French drawings here to Stapleford Park in Leicestershire
0:31:36 > 0:31:39which is a fantastic country house hotel, absolutely beautiful setting.
0:31:39 > 0:31:43And I know the interior is as elegant as the exterior. I paid about £55 for these.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47I'm hoping to make a small profit, maybe £80, £90, something like that.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52I'm pretty sure they could use them in the interior, maybe for one of the bedrooms.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55These are absolutely gorgeous. Let's go and see what they think inside.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
0:32:00 > 0:32:04# He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country
0:32:04 > 0:32:10'Our diamond dealer has lined up a meeting with house host Pam. Time to show us what she's made of.'
0:32:10 > 0:32:15I have to say, this is a beautiful setting. Is there any French influence around here?
0:32:15 > 0:32:20People say that the front of the house does have a French feel, that it looks like a French chateau.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Well, there's obviously a bit of French about these two.
0:32:23 > 0:32:26First of all, tell me your first impressions?
0:32:26 > 0:32:32Well, they're fascinating drawings. One of the things I'm asked to do as the house host here
0:32:32 > 0:32:36is search out pictures and things where I think they're needed in different rooms.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40So it might save me a lot of leg-work if I got a nice little bargain.
0:32:40 > 0:32:44- Any of the French pictures looking tired, maybe? - Well, there's one or two.
0:32:44 > 0:32:50- What sort of figure would you be thinking you might be looking for for them?- 100, say.- I don't know.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55I wasn't quite given that budget when I was asked to go and buy some pictures for things.
0:32:55 > 0:33:01- Counter offer, come on. - Would you go for 80, do you think? - £80 would work for me.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05'Canny Kate does it again, bagging just over £25 profit.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09'But she needs to do bigger and better than that,
0:33:09 > 0:33:14'as in his shop on the south coast, the brawn of Brighton is preparing to pack a killer punch.'
0:33:14 > 0:33:18Mirrored furniture is really in, and this is funky and kitsch, just what the market wants.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22But, and it's a big but, it's been damaged in transport.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25The handle's been knocked and there's a small crack in the drawer.
0:33:25 > 0:33:31I think if it hadn't been damaged, I would have been looking at well over £300, pushing towards 350.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36But if I can get anywhere near 200, there's still quite a healthy margin in it for me.
0:33:36 > 0:33:40That's why I have decided to try and sell it. Fingers crossed, anyway.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44'Ooh. Will that damage shoot the Maverick's profit down in flames?
0:33:44 > 0:33:50'He paid just over £109, but can local dealer Richard see past its problems?'
0:33:50 > 0:33:54I've reduced the asking price and you're still vaguely interested.
0:33:54 > 0:33:58I am. My wife and I, we love it. Every time we've driven past the last week,
0:33:58 > 0:34:02approaching the shop, I say, "Jane, eyes right. Dressing table."
0:34:02 > 0:34:05So we've seen it at the back and we really love it.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10The crack, it doesn't really bother me, Mark, to be quite honest.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13The overall thing is quaint and we love it.
0:34:13 > 0:34:16'Sounding positive. Time to move in for the kill.'
0:34:16 > 0:34:18What about 220?
0:34:20 > 0:34:25- 210 and I'm very happy to do the restoration.- £210.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28- Yes. I'm happy to do that.- Great.
0:34:28 > 0:34:33'And he's done it! It's less than he originally hoped for but Mark didn't let that damage stand in his way
0:34:33 > 0:34:37'and banks his biggest profit so far, nearly £101.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40'We've reached the halfway stage in this selling bonanza
0:34:40 > 0:34:43'and it's been an epic battle of brains and brawn.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47'Diamond diva Kate has sold three of her six items,
0:34:47 > 0:34:51'but her profit stands at just under £85.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54'Maverick Stacey's profits started small
0:34:54 > 0:34:56'but he's sold four of his eight items,
0:34:56 > 0:35:01'and that dressing table triumph takes his profit pot to over £204.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07'As round two of this almighty challenge gets underway,
0:35:07 > 0:35:12'the Diamond has her work cut out to catch her arch enemy.
0:35:12 > 0:35:16'But this wonder woman has plenty of tricks up her sleeve.
0:35:16 > 0:35:22'Our superhero is determined to emerge victorious. She's got an Art Deco vase to sell.
0:35:22 > 0:35:29'It cost her nearly £182. Time to unleash her haggling powers on Deco shop owner Yarun.'
0:35:29 > 0:35:35- I was hoping for around the 350 mark.- 'Ooh, she's aiming high.'
0:35:35 > 0:35:40- I'm happy to pay £300.- 320. - I don't think I can.- Go on!
0:35:40 > 0:35:45- Every penny counts. I've got to beat Mark Stacey. - Do you? 300 I'll buy it.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50310 and I'll take it. I need every tenner I can. 310?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- It's a lovely thing.- OK, 310. - Brilliant.- Thank you very much.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55'Oh, she worked hard for that.
0:35:55 > 0:36:00'Kate's back in the race with a massive profit of just over £128.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03'In Brighton, oblivious to Kate's success,
0:36:03 > 0:36:07'Mark has hunted down a fashionable buyer for his paperweights.'
0:36:07 > 0:36:12Now, I've brought my rather glamorous paperweights formed as a large ruby and sapphire
0:36:12 > 0:36:17to someone I know called Marianne, who's in a world that I'm not terribly familiar with,
0:36:17 > 0:36:20haute couture, she designs her own dresses.
0:36:20 > 0:36:26I paid just over £13 for these. Will I sew up a healthy profit? Let's have a go.
0:36:26 > 0:36:32'Not familiar with haute couture? You're too modest. We've seen some fabulous togs in your collection.'
0:36:32 > 0:36:34# Come on, vogue
0:36:35 > 0:36:38# Let your body move to the music
0:36:38 > 0:36:41- I bought these in Paris.- Ooh.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45And I just thought, you're a woman who likes sparkly things.
0:36:45 > 0:36:50- Yes.- Bit of a magpie. - Oh, no! They're lovely. I could definitely use these.
0:36:50 > 0:36:54- But what would you use them as? - I'll tell you exactly what I would use them as,
0:36:54 > 0:36:58I'd use these for weighing down my slippery fabrics. And it will not move.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03- And it will look very glamorous. - I know!- Just like your designs. - Oh, thank you.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07- So you like them? - Yes. I love them very much.
0:37:07 > 0:37:12- Do you like them enough to pay... - Ooh, here he comes, now!
0:37:12 > 0:37:16- I'll give you 25.- 25? I've brought them all the way from Paris.
0:37:16 > 0:37:23- Don't make me feel bad!- I've brought them all the way from Paris to Hove. - All the way from Paris!
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Don't!- What about...- Yes?
0:37:27 > 0:37:2928?
0:37:31 > 0:37:35- Done.- I think I have been. Thank you very much.
0:37:35 > 0:37:39- It's a pleasure doing business with you.- I hope those cakes are for us.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41- Of course they are. - Cos I've earned those.
0:37:41 > 0:37:46'Oh, get back to business, Mark. That's another £14 profit,
0:37:46 > 0:37:48'and he's now sold five of his eight items.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52'His little black book of Brighton soon comes up trumps for a sixth
0:37:52 > 0:37:56'when he sells his Spode vase that he bought for just over £27...'
0:37:56 > 0:38:01- I was hoping for £55. - You've got a deal.- Fantastic.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04'..doubling his money with nearly £28 profit.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07'But Maverick better watch his back
0:38:07 > 0:38:11'as the diamond ice queen has travelled nearly 150 miles south
0:38:11 > 0:38:14'to take on her nemesis practically on his doorstep.
0:38:14 > 0:38:19'She's in West Sussex, hoping to sell the large painting that's been causing her sleepless nights.
0:38:19 > 0:38:26'It cost nearly £273 so it's a nail-biting moment as she unveils it to pub landlord Steve.'
0:38:26 > 0:38:30- What do you think?- I absolutely love the picture but I hate the frame. - You hate the frame?
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Yeah.- This is a great frame! This is a proper giltwood one.
0:38:34 > 0:38:39- But the actual painting you like? - The actual painting I really like. - OK.- Probably too much.
0:38:39 > 0:38:45Oh, that's a good thing. I thought a wheat sheaf pub, and these are probably wheat sheaves or hay,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- it's a bit tenuous. - This pub was actually built for people that did this work,
0:38:49 > 0:38:54and this was treated as their canteen where they could have a pint and a ploughman's after lunch.
0:38:54 > 0:39:00- But that is what they did. - 'Our cunning contender has sewn the seeds for a great deal,
0:39:00 > 0:39:02'but will she harvest a profit?'
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- I mean, I am hoping for about 380 for that.- Whoa.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10- No. No. You're way off. I'd get strung up if I paid 380 for that. - Really?
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- 'Ooh, that's not a good start.' - OK, well, what sort of figure were you thinking, then?
0:39:15 > 0:39:19- I'd be expecting to pay 100 quid. - It cost me lots more than that.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22- I can come a bit lower.- You'd have to come a lot lower, Kate.
0:39:22 > 0:39:28Well, I can come down, I can do 300. And I'd make a very small profit. But I still would make some profit.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31OK, well, we've got to stop messing about. 250. And that will be it.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34I'm happy to keep this if I can't make a small profit.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37'Our rock-hard diamond is holding firm.
0:39:37 > 0:39:40'But did she manage to seal the deal? We'll find out later.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43'Still in West Sussex and fizzing with confidence,
0:39:43 > 0:39:47'Kate's determined to make her final profit something to celebrate.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50'The pair of champagne buckets cost just over £16
0:39:50 > 0:39:55'and our sparkling lady pops the question to Highdown Vineyard co-owner Ally.'
0:39:55 > 0:40:01I was thinking maybe £30 each. £60, something like that, for the two.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05Ooh, that's quite high. English wine-makers don't make that much, you know?
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Maybe 50 for the two. Would you consider that?
0:40:08 > 0:40:12- 50 for the two.- Yeah.- £50, that will give us something to celebrate.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17- So £50.- Maybe we should go and open a bottle of fizz. - That sounds a good idea. Lead on.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21'Smoothly done, Diamond. Topping up your profit by nearly £34,
0:40:21 > 0:40:23'we'll drink to that.'
0:40:23 > 0:40:29Well, Maverick, that's me all sold up for our French items. Hope you're doing as well as I am. Cheers.
0:40:29 > 0:40:33'Vintage fighting talk and that's our class act home and dry.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35'Time's nearly up and back in Brighton,
0:40:35 > 0:40:40'Kate's arch-rival is hoping to sell his £18 glass dish to pub landlord Colin.'
0:40:40 > 0:40:46- Well, I was hoping to get around the £55 mark.- Oh!- I know, Colin, I know. It's far too cheap.
0:40:46 > 0:40:52- Far too cheap?- You are a friend and I want to give you a good deal.
0:40:53 > 0:40:58- Go on, it's a deal. - 'Colin must have a heart of glass to succumb to Mark's haggle.
0:40:58 > 0:41:01'The bowl leaves him nearly £37 up.'
0:41:03 > 0:41:06# Soon turned out had a heart of glass
0:41:06 > 0:41:08'But with the finishing line in sight,
0:41:08 > 0:41:12'our Brighton boy stumbles when he fails to find a buyer for his silver box,
0:41:12 > 0:41:15'losing him just under £32.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20'Our supreme stallions have soared over the final fence
0:41:20 > 0:41:22'and sprinted over the finishing line.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26'They both started off with £750 of their own money.
0:41:26 > 0:41:31'Kate picked up six items and spent a total of just under £621.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35'The Maverick bought more with eight items in the bag,
0:41:35 > 0:41:40'but his spending was modest at just over £477 including costs.
0:41:40 > 0:41:45'But from now on all that matters is profit.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50'All the money that Mark and Kate made from today's challenge will be going to their chosen charity.
0:41:50 > 0:41:56'So, without further ado, it's time to reveal who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.'
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- Kate, lovely to see you again. - Mark, hello. Hello. How did it go?
0:42:00 > 0:42:04- I loved that foreign market in Paris. - I really enjoyed the buying. It was lovely.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08And it was quite easy to find antiques but I had a few problems with selling a few.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11- Oh, what a shame.- Come on, I want to see, I'm so desperate to see.
0:42:11 > 0:42:17- Oh, I'm desperate to see, as well. - Come on.- One. Two. Three.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20- Oh, it's close! - Oh, very close!- Oh, my goodness!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- Oh, you won, Kate! - Oh, well done, though.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Well, congratulations, Kate. - Thank you.- You deserve to win.
0:42:27 > 0:42:32- There's only £10 in it but I reckon that will buy us a cup of tea. - It's on you.- My shout.
0:42:32 > 0:42:37- THEY LAUGH - 'It was a very close race today, with under £13 in it,
0:42:37 > 0:42:40'but newbie Kate just pipped Maverick Mark to the post.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43'So was it that painting that put the nail in his coffin?'
0:42:43 > 0:42:48We've got to stop messing about. 250. And that will be it.
0:42:48 > 0:42:53290. That makes me hardly any profit but I will shake your hand at 290 if you go for it.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55- 290.- 290. Thank you very much.
0:42:55 > 0:43:00'The Diamond stood firm and drove the buyer up from his initial bid of £100,
0:43:00 > 0:43:03'proving that even a small profit of just over £17
0:43:03 > 0:43:06'can lead to overall victory.'
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Well, what a result. That couldn't have been closer.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12I had such a good time in France but to win it by a tenner was brilliant.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15I can't believe it. It was so close.
0:43:15 > 0:43:21Kate did very well selling all her items. And she even made a profit on that awful picture.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26'But Mark needn't despair. Tomorrow he gets his chance for revenge
0:43:26 > 0:43:30'as our duo face the ultimate challenge, the showdown.'
