'the show that takes the titans of the antiques trade | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
'and pitches them against each other | 0:00:08 | 0:00:11 | |
'to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.' | 0:00:11 | 0:00:15 | |
It's amazing. Truly amazing. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:18 | |
'Today mercurial Mark Stacey takes on ice queen Kate Bateman | 0:00:18 | 0:00:23 | |
'in an all-out battle for profit, | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
'giving you the inside view on the secrets of the trade. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
'Coming up, our dealers reveal the path to haggling heaven.' | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
So we've got the two for 400 Euros, which shows if you just buy in bulk, buy two and you can get it. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
'And go potty for potential profit.' | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
Blue and white is in my heart and I just have to buy it for that. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
'They've got pound signs rolling in their eyes.' | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
Don't they look fabulous? I should have held out for more money. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
'It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.' | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
'Today's fortune-hunting fight is a battle of the sexes, | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
'as Mark The Maverick Stacey squares up to Kate The Diamond Bateman. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
'They both love fine art, but it'll be a rough and ready battle | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
'to see who can make the most profit from buying and selling antiques. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
'In one corner it's Brighton's biggest and baddest booty buyer. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
'He'll do anything to secure a deal, | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
'but that suave exterior hides a devilish streak.' | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Oh, I wouldn't want your address, madam. Not for this, anyway. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
HE LAUGHS What am I like? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
'His opponent is the diamond of Lincolnshire. She's stylish, cunning, | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
'and with her own family auction house, knows how to wield a gavel. Charm is her weapon of choice.' | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
No. I think not. He's asking for a kiss as well as the 60 Euros. I'm holding firm. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
'This lord and lady know they can spend up to £750 of their own cash. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
'And with their reputations on the line, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
'the mission is to make as much profit as possible for their chosen charities. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:07 | |
'They've packed their passports and brushed up on their French | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
'as today's battle ground is a chic antiques market in gay Paris. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:15 | |
'With 380 sellers, there's a wealth of European gems waiting to be discovered. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
'But which of our treasure-hunting Trojans will be the first to find them? Mark The Maverick Stacey | 0:02:20 | 0:02:26 | |
'and Kate The Diamond Bateman, it's time to put your money where your mouth is.' | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-Bonjour. -Bonjour, Monsieur Stacey! Ca va? | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-Well, this is exciting, isn't it? Paris. -Gay Paris. It's lovely. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
-Crack of dawn. -It is an early start. -It is. Some of them haven't even set up yet. -This is great. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:43 | |
-And it's awful not to be able to get in there and get it. -What's your strategy? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
Well, we're in France, so I think we ought to go for very French things, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
-maybe things that aren't so usual in England. -I've seen a lot of nice, funky, 50s, 60s stuff | 0:02:51 | 0:02:57 | |
which goes down very well in Brighton, but mixed with traditional French fare, | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
-which I think I've already got buyers for. Are you worried? -Well, a little. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:06 | |
-The other thing, of course, you've got an advantage over me because... -I speak a little bit of French. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
You speak the Franco lingo, don't you? And I don't. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
So I've got to rely just on my English charm. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
-Or Welsh charm. -You're doomed! You're doomed! | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
'Ooh, the new girl's feisty! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
'Our British battlers are both desperate to leap to victory. In one corner, it's Maverick Mark.' | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
My strategy really is funky, decorative items from the 30s and 50s | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
mixed with a bit of traditional French fare. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:34 | |
That way, I might be able to satisfy my customers back at home. But who knows? Wish me luck. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:39 | |
'In the other corner, Diamond Kate, whose sparkling exterior disguises a core of pure steel.' | 0:03:39 | 0:03:46 | |
So today's plan of action is quite simple. It's buy French, | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
it's buy quite cheaply and beat Mark Stacey. Easy. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:54 | |
'Yes, she's brimming with confidence and bursting with energy. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
'Put Your Money veteran Mark better watch his back | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
'as new kid Kate races out of the starting gates as fast as a whippet. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
'Determined to buy French and armed with the local lingo, | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
'the Diamond homes in on some famous-looking glass.' | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
Now, look at that little baby. It's not Lalique. It's very similar. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:17 | |
It's someone called Sabino of France, which I'll have to go home and look up, | 0:04:17 | 0:04:22 | |
but the quality's really nice, it's got these little dragonflies on it, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
it's this sort of Vaseline glass, which is a sort of frosted, slightly opaque glass. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
It's not damaged and it's about 1925, 1930, so it's got some age. It's really cool. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
He's got it on at 295 Euros. That's quite a lot. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
That's about £260, £270. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
I don't know enough about glass to take a chance at that figure, but I reckon I can get him down a little. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:49 | |
'Time to apply Kate's trademark va-va-voom.' | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
Cent quatre-vingt. Non? | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
THEY SPEAK FRENCH | 0:04:54 | 0:04:57 | |
He's saying that it's a dealer's market and a lot of dealers come here, | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
so this is the very best price. He says, for a dealer, he would've charged him 250, | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
but for me, it's 200 Euros, because I'm charming. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
I 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. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
THEY SPEAK FRENCH | 0:05:23 | 0:05:27 | |
My first purchase! It's exciting! | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
'She's done it. A Lalique-style vase for nearly £182. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
'A triumphant start for the sparkling Diamond. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
'She's got the looks and the lingo, which puts her streets ahead of her tongue-tied opponent, Mark, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:43 | |
'who's not exactly au fait with Francais.' | 0:05:43 | 0:05:46 | |
-Parlez-vous Anglais? -Non. -Non! And I don't speak French. What can we do? | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Where did you get it from? SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
I'm lost. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:57 | |
How much? SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
They're consulting now. The price is going up. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
Cent cinquante? 25? | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
SHE SPEAKS FRENCH What did she say? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
'Oh, come on, Maverick! Whilst you're floundering with the French, | 0:06:11 | 0:06:15 | |
'the Diamond's proving to be a treasure-hunting tornado!' | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
OK, so these are quite fun. I've just seen these. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
The lady said these are two for 5 Euros and that's got to be cheap. Two for £4? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
They're old soda bottles, and it's called Diabolo Sport. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Belgique? She's saying they're Belgian, so from Belgique. But it's written in French. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
I said I was going to go for stuff with French writing on, so I'm pleased with that. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-Trois pour cinq Euro? -Oui. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
Three for 5 Euros. If I can't make a profit out of that, I'm in the wrong game. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
'Kate's brimming with confidence. A trio of bottles for just under £5 | 0:06:43 | 0:06:47 | |
'is bang on strategy.' | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
Brilliant. I'm really pleased with those. Not a lot of money, so I'm buying cheap and chic. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:54 | |
I'm hoping somebody's going to like those. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
'Our priceless Diamond now has two buys in the bag. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
'This determined newcomer is burning her way through the market | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
'on a Parisian charm offensive.' | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
# Well, she's all you'd ever want | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
# She's the kind I'd like to flaunt and take to dinner | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
# She's a lady | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
# Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
'And while our glittering ice queen lures in the sellers with a smile, | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
'her arch enemy is yet to seal his first deal. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
'So he's employing a rather unusual strategy.' | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
Isn't this absolutely horrible? | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
It's very kitsch, isn't it? It's a sort of 1950s/1960s little dressing table. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:39 | |
All mirrored glass with these rather 18th century scenes on there. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
What looks like the original handle. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Would you want to sit in front of that doing your hair at night? I would. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
'Hm. That paints a lovely picture, Mark. Now get in there and seal the deal.' | 0:07:51 | 0:07:55 | |
-OK. -Well done. Thank you. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
Well, the dealer just said to me 130 and I said lower, he said no. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
I was hoping for 100, but I got it for 120. I managed to knock another 10 Euros off. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
I'm absolutely thrilled cos I think there's a jolly good profit in that. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:11 | |
Kate, I hope you're watching. You need to get a move on, girl. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
'Ooh, fighting talk from the Maverick. He's back in the game, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:18 | |
'snapping up a kitsch mirrored dressing table for just under £110. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
'Both our mighty warriors are prowling the market for bargains, | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
'but is our newbie still getting to grips with the challenge?' | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
And I do seem to be able to pick out the most expensive things on every stall. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:34 | |
That's not necessarily a good thing, considering my limited budget. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
And the fact that I'm not buying for myself, it's buying stuff for profit, | 0:08:37 | 0:08:42 | |
which is a bit counter-intuitive for me. I just want to buy it and keep it forever. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:47 | |
'Focus, Kate, it's profit, profit, profit today. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
'If you forget that, you'll be handing the Maverick victory on a plate.' | 0:08:50 | 0:08:54 | |
-Oh! -'Next up is a fine art stall.' | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
-Francais? -'That looks pricey.' | 0:08:56 | 0:09:00 | |
Oh, this is interesting. This looks like the design for a stained-glass window | 0:09:00 | 0:09:06 | |
with these really thick lines. It's quite interesting. It's a pen and ink. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
It's a strange thing to buy, I have to say, and it's not the sort of thing I was looking for, | 0:09:11 | 0:09:16 | |
but it's quite interesting and I do need to start buying some stuff. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:20 | |
I do like that one, as well. That's a really lovely painting. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:23 | |
I think this is a really nice thing. The condition's really good. It's beautifully painted. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
You've got a bit of over-painting in the corner, but the light is lovely. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:33 | |
It's a shame it's not signed. That would put the icing on the cake. But it's so nice, an interesting scene. | 0:09:33 | 0:09:39 | |
THEY SPEAK FRENCH | 0:09:39 | 0:09:42 | |
Mason, English School, he says. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
425. Crikey, that's still... | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
If I could get it for 300 Euros, that might be doable. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
I'll ask about this one, as well. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:55 | |
HE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
So that one he would do for 100 Euros, which would be about £70. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:02 | |
If I could get that one for... 300 Euros, | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
that would be 400 Euros. I'd be spending quite a lot of money. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
'What happened to cheap and chic? The Diamond's been dazzled. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
'Talking of strategies forgotten, our Brighton warrior's next find is hardly French or funky.' | 0:10:14 | 0:10:21 | |
30 Euros? Done. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
Merci, Madame. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:27 | |
Now, that was a very quick deal. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:29 | |
The last thing I thought I was going to buy in the middle of Paris | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
was a piece of English blue and white transfer-printed ware. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
But as soon as I saw the shape and the pattern... | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
I'm not even going to look underneath, it's made by Spode or Copeland and Spode, | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
it's called the Italian pattern. The pattern was invented around about 1810. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:50 | |
It's been a huge success for the Spode factory, it's been produced right up to today, | 0:10:50 | 0:10:55 | |
and if we turn it over, we have a lovely little back stamp here, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
Copeland Spode Italian pattern. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
But this would date it to the 1920s and 1930s. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:04 | |
But it's such a wonderfully English shape. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:07 | |
And for 30 Euros, | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
which is about £26, £27, I'm not going to make a huge amount. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:14 | |
But I used to be the honorary secretary of the Friends Of Blue. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:19 | |
That's nothing naughty. That's the Blue and White Collectors' Club. | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
Blue and white is in my heart and I just have to buy it for that. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
'A very British vase for under £30. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
'Way off strategy, but another deal in the bag for the Maverick. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
'The collectables carnage is well underway, but clever Kate | 0:11:33 | 0:11:37 | |
'is about to seal a very expensive deal.' | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
THEY SPEAK FRENCH | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
Look, I've twisted his arm! 400 Euros! Merci! | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
Oh, yay! So, we've got the two for 400 Euros, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
which shows if you just buy in bulk, buy two, you can get it. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
'A colossal purchase of just under £364. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
'The challenge notches up a gear | 0:11:59 | 0:12:01 | |
'as the Diamond splashes nearly half her budget in one go. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
'It's time for these titans to compare notes, | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
'but is our newcomer having doubts?' | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
I spent quite a lot of my money straight away on stuff that I'm not entirely convinced is a good idea. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:15 | |
-What about you? -I'm very pleased. I've bought... -You're smug. What have you done? | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
Well, no, I've bought the funkiest thing you've ever seen and you'll be wanting it for your boudoir. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:25 | |
-My boudoir. -So do you think, honestly, that everything you've bought could go pear-shaped? | 0:12:25 | 0:12:31 | |
-Oh, completely. No question about it. -I hope it doesn't, obviously. -Yes, you do! | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
-Of course I don't. -You want to see me sink to the bottom. -Course I don't, Kate! | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
'Mark and Kate both started the day with £750 of their own money. | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
'Mark has bought just two items, parting with just over £136, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
'leaving him nearly £614 still to play with. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:56 | |
'Kate has splashed the cash on four items | 0:12:56 | 0:12:59 | |
'with a whopping combined total of just over £550, | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
'leaving just under £200 in her kitty. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
'So in the battle of the sexes, | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
'it's Kate who's bagged the most booty so far. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
'But there's everything to play for. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:13 | |
'As we kick off round two of this Parisian profit hunt, | 0:13:13 | 0:13:18 | |
'the pressure mounts on our daring duo to sniff out the best bargains from under their arch rival's nose. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:24 | |
'Put Your Money new girl Kate has taken to this challenge like a duck to water. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:29 | |
'But Mark's triumphant talk is ringing in her ears.' | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
OK, so now I'm a bit worried, because Mark seemed quietly smug there | 0:13:32 | 0:13:37 | |
and it makes me think he's made some really good purchases, | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
so I'm a bit worried that I've maybe overspent. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:42 | |
But I have not peaked too soon, because I've seen a few things that I'll buy and they're really cheap, | 0:13:42 | 0:13:48 | |
which I know is unusual for me, but I have not lost this game yet, Mark Stacey. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
'Kate's mind is racing with strategies. But like a diamond, this girl is hard. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:57 | |
'Maverick Mark has money to burn and treasure in his sights.' | 0:13:57 | 0:14:01 | |
A little trinket box. I like the fact that it's got a little armorial. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:05 | |

'The Sussex smoothie swoops in with another purchase for nearly £32. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:19 | |
'He means business. It's all-out war today, | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
'but one of our profit-seeking missiles is having a moment of self-doubt.' | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
I'm currently having a bit of a moment where I'm experiencing buyer's remorse here. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:31 | |
Let's just recap what I've bought. I bought two pictures, which although I like them, are not signed | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
and I don't know anything about the artists, | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
glass that looks like Lalique that I don't know anything about. And some bottles of fizzy pop | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
without the fizzy pop. I may be in trouble. | 0:14:43 | 0:14:46 | |
# There may be trouble ahead | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
That's way too much money. | 0:14:51 | 0:14:53 | |
# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance | 0:14:53 | 0:14:59 | |
# Let's face the music and dance | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
I knew this would be a problem. I just want to buy everything for myself. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
Let's hope Kate isn't getting as cross-eyed as this gentleman is. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
'Oh, come on, Kate, it's all about profit, not personal shopping. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:15 | |
'You need to focus, as the unstoppable machine that is the Maverick rolls on.' | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
That's quite a pretty little box. It's 19th century | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
and it's got a nice little carry handle of cut and polished steel, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
so I'm thinking this is probably made around about 1860, 1870. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:31 | |
In honest condition. It hasn't been touched. It's got some signs of age. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
If you look at the mirror inside, there's a little bit of damage, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
but we're looking at something which is 140 years old. | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
I've got a little bit of damage after 35 years of age. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:47 | |
'35? If you say so, Mark.' | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
-Bonjour. How much is this? -It's 60 Euros. -60 Euros? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
-Yes. -Now, that's about £54, something like this. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:57 | |
Could we get near to 40 Euros? | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
Oh, I'm sorry, I can't. 50 is the best price. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-48? -Best price, 50. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-49.50? -If you want. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
49.50. Done. Thank you very much, sir. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:11 | |
Look, every 50 cents helps, doesn't it? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:13 | |
'It certainly does. Bagging the box for £45, | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
'Stacey levels the playing field, taking the score to four-all. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:21 | |

'two glass paperweights for just under £14. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:27 | |

'and show us some sparkle?' | 0:16:31 | 0:16:33 | |
I quite like these. They're champagne buckets. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
And I said I wanted to get stuff with French writing. I've just bought one of these in England. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
I won't tell you how much I paid, but it was considerably more than he's asking here. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:45 | |
He's only asking 12 Euros. That's only about £10. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
I reckon if I buy more than one, we can beat him down on price. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
'That bulk-buying tactic again. She's merciless.' | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
Let's try him on 15 Euros for two. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:17:00 | 0:17:03 | |
-Non. Non. -Non? -SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
THEY SPEAK FRENCH | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
He's asking where I'm from. Now I've said England, he'll be doubling the price. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
18. 18 Euros. He's taken pity on me and I'm going to go for it. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
-Dix-huit Euro? Parfait. Merci. -HE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
Oh. Yeah, for anyone else, it would've been much less money, | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
but cos we're English, it's 18. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
'Ooh. Are our British beauty's charms wearing thin? | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
'That's just over £16 for the buckets. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:35 | |
'The clock's ticking on today's challenge and as they rev up for a final sprint to the finish line, | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |

-Monsieur, what is your best price? -Would be 25. -Oh, come on, sir. | 0:17:57 | 0:18:02 | |
-You're packing up. -Exceptionally I can make 20. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
-18? -No. 18, no. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-That would be no. -19. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
-19 Euros. -No! I can make 20. -Thank you very much. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:14 | |
'After that titanic tussle, Mark bags the bowl for a touch over £18.' | 0:18:14 | 0:18:19 | |
# Soon turned out had a heart of glass | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
'And he doesn't stop there. In no time at all, racy Stacey is green for go with an illuminating object.' | 0:18:21 | 0:18:28 | |
What I'm thinking of buying are a pair of French traffic lights. | 0:18:28 | 0:18:34 | |
But they're 150 Euros each, which is a lot of money | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
cos I'd have to get them converted again in Britain. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:41 | |
But they are quite funky. If, of course, you can find the right buyer for them. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
And that is the trick question. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
I think I might offer him 200 Euros for the two. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
'Go on, Mark, get in there!' | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Can you take, for the two, 200 Euros? | 0:18:54 | 0:18:59 | |
-Bless you. -Merci. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
Well, 200 Euros I'm paying for those | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
and I don't know whether it's going to be green for go | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
or more probably red for full stop. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:12 | |
'Wham! At nearly £182, that's his biggest purchase so far. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:17 | |
'And with no stop sign in sight, he quickly snaps up | 0:19:17 | 0:19:20 | |
'a Bohemian glass vase for just over £45. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:24 | |
'Is it all over for our Lincolnshire lady?' | 0:19:24 | 0:19:26 | |
It's down to literally the last few stalls now and I'm beginning to panic a little bit. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:31 | |
'Come on, Kate, don't give up. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:33 | |
'It's a mad dash to bag the last booty | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
'and our sparkling ice queen has something in her sights.' | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
So I'm having a look at these. I had a look earlier in the day and I've come back cos I remembered them. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:47 | |
I'm thinking about them, and that tends to mean I'll regret it if I don't buy them. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
They're designs for French furniture. I want them framed, but I think they're saleable, attractive. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
So maybe if I could get them for...60 Euros each, | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
that's £50 each, that might be good. Or £50 for the pair. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
That's probably got a good profit in it for me. So I'll ask the guy. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
SHE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:20:06 | 0:20:10 | |
Ooh-la-la. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:13 | |
THEY SPEAK FRENCH | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
I'm telling him it's the end of the day. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-Soixante? -Oui. -Oh! He's gone for it! | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
I knew I'd find a bargain right at the end of the day. Brilliant. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:26 | |
-I think this is pretty much all I've got left in the world. 60 Euros. -60. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:30 | |
Soixante. He's going to check it. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
-My money is good. -HE SPEAKS FRENCH | 0:20:32 | 0:20:35 | |
Non. I think not. He's asking for a kiss as well as the 60 Euros. I'm holding firm. | 0:20:35 | 0:20:40 | |
'Well, you can't blame a bloke for trying. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:42 | |
'A final £55 purchase for the Diamond. | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |

'So, with the Parisian market over, it's time to tot up the totals. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
'Mark and Kate arrived en France with £750 each. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
'Mark ended up with eight items but spent modestly | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
'at just over £472. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:13 | |
'Kate bagged less with six items | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
'but splashed out nearly £621. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:20 | |
'Before they head back to Blighty, our lord and lady of the fair | 0:21:20 | 0:21:24 | |
-'get the chance to check out the competition.' -I really regret the painting. | 0:21:24 | 0:21:28 | |
-I think I paid too much. -I have to say, I'm desperate to find out what on earth you thought you were doing. | 0:21:28 | 0:21:34 | |
-I don't know. It was a moment of madness. -The oil painting. Did you like the frame? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-The frame is nice. -It'd make a lovely mirror. -Oh, how rude! | 0:21:38 | 0:21:41 | |
That may be my bete noire. Come on, what have you got? I like the little casket, I'll give you that. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:47 | |
-This! What were you thinking? -Oh, that's my favourite buy! | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Do you know, that's spent the last 50 years in a Parisian attic. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
It should spend the next 50 years in a Parisian attic. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
-In Brighton, I'm going to make a fortune on that. -Only in Brighton. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
Stamford would not put that in their skips. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:04 | |
'For our antiques aces, buying the treasures was only the first part of their epic shoot-out. | 0:22:06 | 0:22:12 | |
'Now it's time for the Maverick and the Diamond to dust off their contact books, | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
'fasten their seatbelts and ramp up to jet speed as they start selling.' | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
Is it you that's going to be buying them rather than David? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
'Profit is the name of the game, and in Northamptonshire, | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
'Put Your Money newbie and busy mum Kate is feeling the heat.' | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
Looking at the stuff now, I've got a couple of regrets. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
This painting I paid too much for, and almost the same goes for this. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
Mark steered clear of pictures and I kind of see why. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
'Of course, that hasn't escaped her arch enemy's attention.' | 0:22:41 | 0:22:44 | |
Looking at her items, I think there's a few real problems. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
The picture she bought was absolutely... I have to say hideous. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:53 | |
'Don't count your chickens though, Mark. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:55 | |
'The Diamond has some weapons of mass destruction in her arsenal.' | 0:22:55 | 0:22:58 | |
The other stuff I bought, I love. The champagne buckets, easy to sell. I don't think they'll be a problem. | 0:22:58 | 0:23:04 | |
The bottles were really cheap. The Sabino glass vase, I really like it, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:08 | |
and I've done more research and Sabino is a really good, well-known 1920s, 1930s Art Deco designer. | 0:23:08 | 0:23:16 | |
These are really nice, too. Quite classy. I can see those framed up somewhere nice. | 0:23:16 | 0:23:20 | |
'She may be new to this challenge but our rock-hard lady grew up in the antiques trade | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
'and she's determined to secure profit with a capital P! | 0:23:25 | 0:23:29 | |
'But she's got a fierce opponent in Brighton-based Mark.' | 0:23:29 | 0:23:33 | |
And I bought, in the main, what I consider to be very interesting and good lots. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
I bought the stunning 1950s mirror dressing table, which I think is stunning but nobody else does so far. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:44 | |
A Copeland Spode Italian vase, typically English. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Two paperweights in the form of a sapphire and ruby. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
A nice 19th century silver-plated box. A Bohemian overlay glass vase. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:56 | |
An iconic glass dish which I said I would never buy in a million years, and I bought one. | 0:23:56 | 0:24:02 | |
A rather nice French mid-19th century mahogany box. | 0:24:02 | 0:24:06 | |
And the most ridiculous thing of all, a pair of French traffic lights. What was I thinking? | 0:24:06 | 0:24:12 | |
'The Maverick thrives under pressure. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:14 | |
'It's going to be a dastardly dog fight between these two today. | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
'Our daring duo hit the phones to start flexing those profit-hunting pecs. | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
'Remember, until they shake on it and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
'The cunning Diamond heads straight to Stamford, home to her family auction house | 0:24:31 | 0:24:36 | |
'and plenty of contacts, including vintage store owner Angela. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
'She's hoping to net a nifty profit for the trio of bottles she bought for just under £5.' | 0:24:40 | 0:24:45 | |
-I saw these and thought of you. -Lady bottles. -What do you think? Lady bottles. Aren't they cool? | 0:24:45 | 0:24:51 | |
-I love them. They're French. -Yes. And this is authentic French dirt. I haven't even cleaned them out. | 0:24:51 | 0:24:56 | |
-I love French dirt. -You can over-clean them, you know? A bit of authenticity. | 0:24:56 | 0:25:00 | |
-I love it. -I think they're 1950s. -Yeah. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Diabolo Sport, she's doing this toy when you have this thing on a rope. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
How cool are they? And I thought as a lady who does vintage stuff, bottles and all sorts... | 0:25:06 | 0:25:12 | |
-Yes, bottles and ladies. -And ladies, it's right up your street. | 0:25:12 | 0:25:15 | |
-I love them. I am interested, but... -As ever... -Tell me. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:20 | |
In my head I'm thinking £10 each, £30. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
-£10 each bottle? -Yeah. £30 for the three. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:26 | |
They are really cool, and where else would you get one, apart from a French antiques market, | 0:25:26 | 0:25:30 | |
-where else in England are you going to find one? -You've done this before. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:34 | |
-Is it working? Is it working? -£10 a bottle is too much. -Right. | 0:25:34 | 0:25:40 | |
-What about £8 per bottle? -I was going to say £8 a bottle, so 24 and then another one for luck. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:45 | |
-25 cos it's a round number. -I like round numbers. What is it in French? -Vingt-cinq. -Vingt-cinq. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:51 | |
I think I'm happy with vingt-cinq pounds for the three bottles. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
-I don't know what "it's a deal" is in French, but it's a deal. -Thank you very much. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |

-They have. Yes. -From around about 1860. -Oh, really? -So, it's mid-19th century. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:37 | |
-Yes. -I was looking between 80 and 100. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
-Oh, really? Yes. -So what are your feelings on that? | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |

Oh, there we go. So I suppose, getting to the point, how much is a talking point worth? | 0:28:02 | 0:28:07 | |
-Actually, this is where you start doing the talking. -Ah. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:10 | |
-Believe it or not, you're selling, I'm buying. -Hopefully. Well, £200, something like that. -Ah. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:17 | |
-Well, may I counter? -Go on, then. -You started at the top of your list. Let me start and let me say £100. | 0:28:17 | 0:28:24 | |
-OK. I can come down a little. -I hope you can. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:29 | |
-How about we meet in the middle? How about 150? -Erm, make it 125. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:35 | |
How about 130? Final haggle. Every penny counts for me. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
-130 and I'd be really happy with that, cos it is very specialist, I have to admit. -OK. 130. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:43 | |
-Yeah? -Yes, indeed. -Brilliant. 130. We'll shake on it. Thank you very much. -Pleasure. | 0:28:43 | 0:28:48 | |
'She's done it. That's just over £39 profit | 0:28:48 | 0:28:52 | |
'and the first of Kate's problematic pictures out of her hair. | 0:28:52 | 0:28:56 | |
'This diamond dealer knows how to work her contacts book. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:59 | |
'She's got stiff competition in the south coast colossus, though.' | 0:28:59 | 0:29:02 | |
Well, it's a very bracing morning here in Sussex, as you can see, | 0:29:02 | 0:29:06 | |
and I've just come up the coast from Brighton to see a friend of mine, Andy, | 0:29:06 | 0:29:11 | |
who own a large pub here and has expressed an interest in my French traffic lights. | 0:29:11 | 0:29:15 | |
I paid just over £180 for these, quite a lot of money. | 0:29:15 | 0:29:19 | |
And I've been rather cheeky in asking quite a lot for them, | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
but whether it's a green light or not, I don't know yet, I'm just about to find out. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:26 | |
'Well, you can certainly stop traffic with your shirt, Mark, | 0:29:26 | 0:29:30 | |
'To ensure there's no safety risk, Mark's had the old wiring removed at a cost of £5. | 0:29:30 | 0:29:35 | |
'So, can he light up a profit?' | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
-I've shown you some photographs of these. -It doesn't do them justice. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
I bought them in Paris as a wacky five minutes, the fair was closing, | 0:29:41 | 0:29:44 | |
I saw them and thought, "They're so funky, someone will love them." | 0:29:44 | 0:29:48 | |
I think they're really nice. I think once they're lit up and sparkling away, | 0:29:48 | 0:29:52 | |
maybe a little bit of restoration, they'll look fabulous. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:56 | |
-Anywhere particular in mind for them? -Oh, yes, I think they'll fit very nicely on the wall up there. | 0:29:56 | 0:30:01 | |
One either side of the mirror would look very good. | 0:30:01 | 0:30:04 | |
I did mention in my e-mail, Andy, a rather cheeky figure. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:09 | |
-Yes, I thought that was cheeky, as well. -£300, wasn't it? | 0:30:09 | 0:30:12 | |
-How cheeky is that, do you think? -Erm, quite a bit. -Oh, dear. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:17 | |
This is where it's all going to go terribly wrong. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:20 | |
-Erm, I would be looking more about half that, I think. -HE GASPS | 0:30:20 | 0:30:24 | |
-Oh, gosh. -'Ouch! That would be a loss.' | 0:30:24 | 0:30:27 | |
They are very nice but they need rewiring and they're small and... How about 220? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:34 | |
-230. -225. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:37 | |
Well, I tell you what, if I settle on 225, | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
-you've got to get them up on the wall and work it, and I'll come back... -Will do that. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:49 | |
-..and do a grand illumination. -That would be fabulous, yes. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:53 | |
'Well, after that almighty tussle, | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |

'And a few weeks later he returns to get the party started.' | 0:30:59 | 0:31:04 | |
It gives me great pleasure to give these lights the green light. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:07 | |
# So you better get this party started THEY CHEER | 0:31:07 | 0:31:11 | |
Don't they look fabulous? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
I should have held out for more money. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
'Well, it's too late now, Mark, the deal's done and dusted. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
'Maverick's had his moment in the limelight and he's three-two up. | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
'But his nemesis is blazing a profit-seeking trail across the British countryside.' | 0:31:26 | 0:31:32 | |
I've brought my French drawings here to Stapleford Park in Leicestershire | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
which is a fantastic country house hotel, absolutely beautiful setting. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
And I know the interior is as elegant as the exterior. I paid about £55 for these. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
I'm hoping to make a small profit, maybe £80, £90, something like that. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:47 | |
I'm pretty sure they could use them in the interior, maybe for one of the bedrooms. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:52 | |
These are absolutely gorgeous. Let's go and see what they think inside. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
# He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country | 0:32:00 | 0:32:04 | |
'Our diamond dealer has lined up a meeting with house host Pam. Time to show us what she's made of.' | 0:32:04 | 0:32:10 | |
I have to say, this is a beautiful setting. Is there any French influence around here? | 0:32:10 | 0:32:15 | |
People say that the front of the house does have a French feel, that it looks like a French chateau. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:20 | |
Well, there's obviously a bit of French about these two. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:23 | |
First of all, tell me your first impressions? | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
Well, they're fascinating drawings. One of the things I'm asked to do as the house host here | 0:32:26 | 0:32:32 | |
is search out pictures and things where I think they're needed in different rooms. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:36 | |
So it might save me a lot of leg-work if I got a nice little bargain. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
-Any of the French pictures looking tired, maybe? -Well, there's one or two. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
-What sort of figure would you be thinking you might be looking for for them? -100, say. -I don't know. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:50 | |
I wasn't quite given that budget when I was asked to go and buy some pictures for things. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:55 | |
-Counter offer, come on. -Would you go for 80, do you think? -£80 would work for me. | 0:32:55 | 0:33:01 | |
'Canny Kate does it again, bagging just over £25 profit. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
'But she needs to do bigger and better than that, | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
'as in his shop on the south coast, the brawn of Brighton is preparing to pack a killer punch.' | 0:33:09 | 0:33:14 | |
Mirrored furniture is really in, and this is funky and kitsch, just what the market wants. | 0:33:14 | 0:33:18 | |
But, and it's a big but, it's been damaged in transport. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
The handle's been knocked and there's a small crack in the drawer. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:25 | |
I think if it hadn't been damaged, I would have been looking at well over £300, pushing towards 350. | 0:33:25 | 0:33:31 | |
But if I can get anywhere near 200, there's still quite a healthy margin in it for me. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:36 | |
That's why I have decided to try and sell it. Fingers crossed, anyway. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
'Ooh. Will that damage shoot the Maverick's profit down in flames? | 0:33:40 | 0:33:44 | |
'He paid just over £109, but can local dealer Richard see past its problems?' | 0:33:44 | 0:33:50 | |
I've reduced the asking price and you're still vaguely interested. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
I am. My wife and I, we love it. Every time we've driven past the last week, | 0:33:54 | 0:33:58 | |
approaching the shop, I say, "Jane, eyes right. Dressing table." | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
So we've seen it at the back and we really love it. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:05 | |
The crack, it doesn't really bother me, Mark, to be quite honest. | 0:34:05 | 0:34:10 | |
The overall thing is quaint and we love it. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
'Sounding positive. Time to move in for the kill.' | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
What about 220? | 0:34:16 | 0:34:18 | |
-210 and I'm very happy to do the restoration. -£210. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:25 | |
-Yes. I'm happy to do that. -Great. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
'And he's done it! It's less than he originally hoped for but Mark didn't let that damage stand in his way | 0:34:28 | 0:34:33 | |
'and banks his biggest profit so far, nearly £101. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |

-Yes. -Bit of a magpie. -Oh, no! They're lovely. I could definitely use these. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:50 | |
-But what would you use them as? -I'll tell you exactly what I would use them as, | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
I'd use these for weighing down my slippery fabrics. And it will not move. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:58 | |
