'This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,

0:00:020:00:04

'the show that takes the titans of the antiques trade

0:00:040:00:08

'and pitches them against each other

0:00:080:00:11

'to see who can make the most money from buying and selling.'

0:00:110:00:15

It's amazing. Truly amazing.

0:00:160:00:18

'Today mercurial Mark Stacey takes on ice queen Kate Bateman

0:00:180:00:23

'in an all-out battle for profit,

0:00:230:00:25

'giving you the inside view on the secrets of the trade.

0:00:250:00:29

'Coming up, our dealers reveal the path to haggling heaven.'

0:00:290:00:33

So we've got the two for 400 Euros, which shows if you just buy in bulk, buy two and you can get it.

0:00:330:00:39

'And go potty for potential profit.'

0:00:390:00:42

Blue and white is in my heart and I just have to buy it for that.

0:00:420:00:45

'They've got pound signs rolling in their eyes.'

0:00:450:00:48

Don't they look fabulous? I should have held out for more money.

0:00:480:00:52

'It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.'

0:00:520:00:55

'Today's fortune-hunting fight is a battle of the sexes,

0:01:070:01:11

'as Mark The Maverick Stacey squares up to Kate The Diamond Bateman.

0:01:110:01:16

'They both love fine art, but it'll be a rough and ready battle

0:01:160:01:20

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

0:01:200:01:24

'In one corner it's Brighton's biggest and baddest booty buyer.

0:01:240:01:29

'He'll do anything to secure a deal,

0:01:290:01:31

'but that suave exterior hides a devilish streak.'

0:01:310:01:35

Oh, I wouldn't want your address, madam. Not for this, anyway.

0:01:350:01:38

HE LAUGHS What am I like?

0:01:380:01:41

'His opponent is the diamond of Lincolnshire. She's stylish, cunning,

0:01:410:01:44

'and with her own family auction house, knows how to wield a gavel. Charm is her weapon of choice.'

0:01:440:01:50

No. I think not. He's asking for a kiss as well as the 60 Euros. I'm holding firm.

0:01:500:01:55

'This lord and lady know they can spend up to £750 of their own cash.

0:01:550:01:59

'And with their reputations on the line,

0:01:590:02:02

'the mission is to make as much profit as possible for their chosen charities.

0:02:020:02:07

'They've packed their passports and brushed up on their French

0:02:070:02:11

'as today's battle ground is a chic antiques market in gay Paris.

0:02:110:02:15

'With 380 sellers, there's a wealth of European gems waiting to be discovered.

0:02:150:02:20

'But which of our treasure-hunting Trojans will be the first to find them? Mark The Maverick Stacey

0:02:200:02:26

'and Kate The Diamond Bateman, it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'

0:02:260:02:30

-Bonjour.

-Bonjour, Monsieur Stacey! Ca va?

0:02:300:02:34

-Well, this is exciting, isn't it? Paris.

-Gay Paris. It's lovely.

0:02:340:02:38

-Crack of dawn.

-It is an early start.

-It is. Some of them haven't even set up yet.

-This is great.

0:02:380:02:43

-And it's awful not to be able to get in there and get it.

-What's your strategy?

0:02:430:02:47

Well, we're in France, so I think we ought to go for very French things,

0:02:470:02:51

-maybe things that aren't so usual in England.

-I've seen a lot of nice, funky, 50s, 60s stuff

0:02:510:02:57

which goes down very well in Brighton, but mixed with traditional French fare,

0:02:570:03:01

-which I think I've already got buyers for. Are you worried?

-Well, a little.

0:03:010:03:06

-The other thing, of course, you've got an advantage over me because...

-I speak a little bit of French.

0:03:060:03:11

You speak the Franco lingo, don't you? And I don't.

0:03:110:03:14

So I've got to rely just on my English charm.

0:03:140:03:16

-Or Welsh charm.

-You're doomed! You're doomed!

0:03:160:03:19

'Ooh, the new girl's feisty!

0:03:190:03:22

'Our British battlers are both desperate to leap to victory. In one corner, it's Maverick Mark.'

0:03:220:03:27

My strategy really is funky, decorative items from the 30s and 50s

0:03:270:03:32

mixed with a bit of traditional French fare.

0:03:320:03:34

That way, I might be able to satisfy my customers back at home. But who knows? Wish me luck.

0:03:340:03:39

'In the other corner, Diamond Kate, whose sparkling exterior disguises a core of pure steel.'

0:03:390:03:46

So today's plan of action is quite simple. It's buy French,

0:03:460:03:49

it's buy quite cheaply and beat Mark Stacey. Easy.

0:03:490:03:54

'Yes, she's brimming with confidence and bursting with energy.

0:03:540:03:58

'Put Your Money veteran Mark better watch his back

0:03:580:04:01

'as new kid Kate races out of the starting gates as fast as a whippet.

0:04:010:04:05

'Determined to buy French and armed with the local lingo,

0:04:050:04:09

'the Diamond homes in on some famous-looking glass.'

0:04:090:04:13

Now, look at that little baby. It's not Lalique. It's very similar.

0:04:130:04:17

It's someone called Sabino of France, which I'll have to go home and look up,

0:04:170:04:22

but the quality's really nice, it's got these little dragonflies on it,

0:04:220:04:26

it's this sort of Vaseline glass, which is a sort of frosted, slightly opaque glass.

0:04:260:04:31

It's not damaged and it's about 1925, 1930, so it's got some age. It's really cool.

0:04:310:04:36

He's got it on at 295 Euros. That's quite a lot.

0:04:360:04:40

That's about £260, £270.

0:04:400:04:43

I don't know enough about glass to take a chance at that figure, but I reckon I can get him down a little.

0:04:430:04:49

'Time to apply Kate's trademark va-va-voom.'

0:04:490:04:51

Cent quatre-vingt. Non?

0:04:510:04:54

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:04:540:04:57

He's saying that it's a dealer's market and a lot of dealers come here,

0:05:070:05:11

so this is the very best price. He says, for a dealer, he would've charged him 250,

0:05:110:05:15

but for me, it's 200 Euros, because I'm charming.

0:05:150:05:18

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.

0:05:180:05:23

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:05:230:05:27

My first purchase! It's exciting!

0:05:270:05:30

'She's done it. A Lalique-style vase for nearly £182.

0:05:300:05:34

'A triumphant start for the sparkling Diamond.

0:05:340:05:37

'She's got the looks and the lingo, which puts her streets ahead of her tongue-tied opponent, Mark,

0:05:370:05:43

'who's not exactly au fait with Francais.'

0:05:430:05:46

-Parlez-vous Anglais?

-Non.

-Non! And I don't speak French. What can we do?

0:05:460:05:50

Where did you get it from? SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:05:500:05:54

I'm lost.

0:05:550:05:57

How much? SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:05:570:06:00

They're consulting now. The price is going up.

0:06:010:06:05

Cent cinquante? 25?

0:06:050:06:07

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH What did she say?

0:06:070:06:11

'Oh, come on, Maverick! Whilst you're floundering with the French,

0:06:110:06:15

'the Diamond's proving to be a treasure-hunting tornado!'

0:06:150:06:18

OK, so these are quite fun. I've just seen these.

0:06:180:06:21

The lady said these are two for 5 Euros and that's got to be cheap. Two for £4?

0:06:210:06:25

They're old soda bottles, and it's called Diabolo Sport.

0:06:250:06:28

Belgique? She's saying they're Belgian, so from Belgique. But it's written in French.

0:06:280:06:33

I said I was going to go for stuff with French writing on, so I'm pleased with that.

0:06:330:06:37

-Trois pour cinq Euro?

-Oui.

0:06:370:06:40

Three for 5 Euros. If I can't make a profit out of that, I'm in the wrong game.

0:06:400:06:43

'Kate's brimming with confidence. A trio of bottles for just under £5

0:06:430:06:47

'is bang on strategy.'

0:06:470:06:49

Brilliant. I'm really pleased with those. Not a lot of money, so I'm buying cheap and chic.

0:06:490:06:54

I'm hoping somebody's going to like those.

0:06:540:06:57

'Our priceless Diamond now has two buys in the bag.

0:06:570:07:00

'This determined newcomer is burning her way through the market

0:07:000:07:03

'on a Parisian charm offensive.'

0:07:030:07:06

# Well, she's all you'd ever want

0:07:060:07:08

# She's the kind I'd like to flaunt and take to dinner

0:07:080:07:12

# She's a lady

0:07:140:07:17

# Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady

0:07:170:07:19

'And while our glittering ice queen lures in the sellers with a smile,

0:07:190:07:23

'her arch enemy is yet to seal his first deal.

0:07:230:07:26

'So he's employing a rather unusual strategy.'

0:07:260:07:29

Isn't this absolutely horrible?

0:07:290:07:32

It's very kitsch, isn't it? It's a sort of 1950s/1960s little dressing table.

0:07:320:07:39

All mirrored glass with these rather 18th century scenes on there.

0:07:390:07:43

What looks like the original handle.

0:07:430:07:47

Would you want to sit in front of that doing your hair at night? I would.

0:07:470:07:51

'Hm. That paints a lovely picture, Mark. Now get in there and seal the deal.'

0:07:510:07:55

-OK.

-Well done. Thank you.

0:07:550:07:58

Well, the dealer just said to me 130 and I said lower, he said no.

0:07:580:08:02

I was hoping for 100, but I got it for 120. I managed to knock another 10 Euros off.

0:08:020:08:07

I'm absolutely thrilled cos I think there's a jolly good profit in that.

0:08:070:08:11

Kate, I hope you're watching. You need to get a move on, girl.

0:08:110:08:15

'Ooh, fighting talk from the Maverick. He's back in the game,

0:08:150:08:18

'snapping up a kitsch mirrored dressing table for just under £110.

0:08:180:08:22

'Both our mighty warriors are prowling the market for bargains,

0:08:220:08:26

'but is our newbie still getting to grips with the challenge?'

0:08:260:08:29

And I do seem to be able to pick out the most expensive things on every stall.

0:08:290:08:34

That's not necessarily a good thing, considering my limited budget.

0:08:340:08:37

And the fact that I'm not buying for myself, it's buying stuff for profit,

0:08:370:08:42

which is a bit counter-intuitive for me. I just want to buy it and keep it forever.

0:08:420:08:47

'Focus, Kate, it's profit, profit, profit today.

0:08:470:08:50

'If you forget that, you'll be handing the Maverick victory on a plate.'

0:08:500:08:54

-Oh!

-'Next up is a fine art stall.'

0:08:540:08:56

-Francais?

-'That looks pricey.'

0:08:560:09:00

Oh, this is interesting. This looks like the design for a stained-glass window

0:09:000:09:06

with these really thick lines. It's quite interesting. It's a pen and ink.

0:09:060:09:11

It's a strange thing to buy, I have to say, and it's not the sort of thing I was looking for,

0:09:110:09:16

but it's quite interesting and I do need to start buying some stuff.

0:09:160:09:20

I do like that one, as well. That's a really lovely painting.

0:09:200:09:23

I think this is a really nice thing. The condition's really good. It's beautifully painted.

0:09:230:09:28

You've got a bit of over-painting in the corner, but the light is lovely.

0:09:280:09:33

It's a shame it's not signed. That would put the icing on the cake. But it's so nice, an interesting scene.

0:09:330:09:39

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:09:390:09:42

Mason, English School, he says.

0:09:440:09:46

425. Crikey, that's still...

0:09:460:09:50

If I could get it for 300 Euros, that might be doable.

0:09:500:09:53

I'll ask about this one, as well.

0:09:530:09:55

HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:09:550:09:58

So that one he would do for 100 Euros, which would be about £70.

0:09:580:10:02

If I could get that one for... 300 Euros,

0:10:020:10:07

that would be 400 Euros. I'd be spending quite a lot of money.

0:10:070:10:10

'What happened to cheap and chic? The Diamond's been dazzled.

0:10:100:10:14

'Talking of strategies forgotten, our Brighton warrior's next find is hardly French or funky.'

0:10:140:10:21

30 Euros? Done.

0:10:210:10:23

Merci, Madame.

0:10:250:10:27

Now, that was a very quick deal.

0:10:270:10:29

The last thing I thought I was going to buy in the middle of Paris

0:10:290:10:34

was a piece of English blue and white transfer-printed ware.

0:10:340:10:38

But as soon as I saw the shape and the pattern...

0:10:380:10:41

I'm not even going to look underneath, it's made by Spode or Copeland and Spode,

0:10:410:10:46

it's called the Italian pattern. The pattern was invented around about 1810.

0:10:460:10:50

It's been a huge success for the Spode factory, it's been produced right up to today,

0:10:500:10:55

and if we turn it over, we have a lovely little back stamp here,

0:10:550:10:59

Copeland Spode Italian pattern.

0:10:590:11:02

But this would date it to the 1920s and 1930s.

0:11:020:11:04

But it's such a wonderfully English shape.

0:11:040:11:07

And for 30 Euros,

0:11:070:11:10

which is about £26, £27, I'm not going to make a huge amount.

0:11:100:11:14

But I used to be the honorary secretary of the Friends Of Blue.

0:11:140:11:19

That's nothing naughty. That's the Blue and White Collectors' Club.

0:11:190:11:23

Blue and white is in my heart and I just have to buy it for that.

0:11:230:11:27

'A very British vase for under £30.

0:11:270:11:30

'Way off strategy, but another deal in the bag for the Maverick.

0:11:300:11:33

'The collectables carnage is well underway, but clever Kate

0:11:330:11:37

'is about to seal a very expensive deal.'

0:11:370:11:40

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:11:400:11:44

Look, I've twisted his arm! 400 Euros! Merci!

0:11:440:11:48

Oh, yay! So, we've got the two for 400 Euros,

0:11:480:11:52

which shows if you just buy in bulk, buy two, you can get it.

0:11:520:11:55

'A colossal purchase of just under £364.

0:11:550:11:59

'The challenge notches up a gear

0:11:590:12:01

'as the Diamond splashes nearly half her budget in one go.

0:12:010:12:05

'It's time for these titans to compare notes,

0:12:050:12:07

'but is our newcomer having doubts?'

0:12:070:12:10

I spent quite a lot of my money straight away on stuff that I'm not entirely convinced is a good idea.

0:12:100:12:15

-What about you?

-I'm very pleased. I've bought...

-You're smug. What have you done?

0:12:150:12:19

Well, no, I've bought the funkiest thing you've ever seen and you'll be wanting it for your boudoir.

0:12:190:12:25

-My boudoir.

-So do you think, honestly, that everything you've bought could go pear-shaped?

0:12:250:12:31

-Oh, completely. No question about it.

-I hope it doesn't, obviously.

-Yes, you do!

0:12:310:12:36

-Of course I don't.

-You want to see me sink to the bottom.

-Course I don't, Kate!

0:12:360:12:41

'Mark and Kate both started the day with £750 of their own money.

0:12:420:12:47

'Mark has bought just two items, parting with just over £136,

0:12:470:12:52

'leaving him nearly £614 still to play with.

0:12:520:12:56

'Kate has splashed the cash on four items

0:12:560:12:59

'with a whopping combined total of just over £550,

0:12:590:13:03

'leaving just under £200 in her kitty.

0:13:030:13:06

'So in the battle of the sexes,

0:13:060:13:09

'it's Kate who's bagged the most booty so far.

0:13:090:13:11

'But there's everything to play for.

0:13:110:13:13

'As we kick off round two of this Parisian profit hunt,

0:13:130:13:18

'the pressure mounts on our daring duo to sniff out the best bargains from under their arch rival's nose.

0:13:180:13:24

'Put Your Money new girl Kate has taken to this challenge like a duck to water.

0:13:240:13:29

'But Mark's triumphant talk is ringing in her ears.'

0:13:290:13:32

OK, so now I'm a bit worried, because Mark seemed quietly smug there

0:13:320:13:37

and it makes me think he's made some really good purchases,

0:13:370:13:40

so I'm a bit worried that I've maybe overspent.

0:13:400:13:42

But I have not peaked too soon, because I've seen a few things that I'll buy and they're really cheap,

0:13:420:13:48

which I know is unusual for me, but I have not lost this game yet, Mark Stacey.

0:13:480:13:52

'Kate's mind is racing with strategies. But like a diamond, this girl is hard.

0:13:520:13:57

'Maverick Mark has money to burn and treasure in his sights.'

0:13:570:14:01

A little trinket box. I like the fact that it's got a little armorial.

0:14:010:14:05

-I was thinking maybe 35 Euros.

-35?

0:14:050:14:10

-OK, 35.

-35? Thank you very much.

0:14:100:14:14

'The Sussex smoothie swoops in with another purchase for nearly £32.

0:14:140:14:19

'He means business. It's all-out war today,

0:14:190:14:21

'but one of our profit-seeking missiles is having a moment of self-doubt.'

0:14:210:14:25

I'm currently having a bit of a moment where I'm experiencing buyer's remorse here.

0:14:250:14:31

Let's just recap what I've bought. I bought two pictures, which although I like them, are not signed

0:14:310:14:36

and I don't know anything about the artists,

0:14:360:14:38

glass that looks like Lalique that I don't know anything about. And some bottles of fizzy pop

0:14:380:14:43

without the fizzy pop. I may be in trouble.

0:14:430:14:46

# There may be trouble ahead

0:14:480:14:51

That's way too much money.

0:14:510:14:53

# But while there's moonlight and music and love and romance

0:14:530:14:59

# Let's face the music and dance

0:14:590:15:03

I knew this would be a problem. I just want to buy everything for myself.

0:15:030:15:07

Let's hope Kate isn't getting as cross-eyed as this gentleman is.

0:15:070:15:11

'Oh, come on, Kate, it's all about profit, not personal shopping.

0:15:110:15:15

'You need to focus, as the unstoppable machine that is the Maverick rolls on.'

0:15:150:15:20

That's quite a pretty little box. It's 19th century

0:15:200:15:23

and it's got a nice little carry handle of cut and polished steel,

0:15:230:15:26

so I'm thinking this is probably made around about 1860, 1870.

0:15:260:15:31

In honest condition. It hasn't been touched. It's got some signs of age.

0:15:310:15:36

If you look at the mirror inside, there's a little bit of damage,

0:15:360:15:39

but we're looking at something which is 140 years old.

0:15:390:15:43

I've got a little bit of damage after 35 years of age.

0:15:430:15:47

'35? If you say so, Mark.'

0:15:470:15:50

-Bonjour. How much is this?

-It's 60 Euros.

-60 Euros?

0:15:500:15:53

-Yes.

-Now, that's about £54, something like this.

0:15:530:15:57

Could we get near to 40 Euros?

0:15:570:15:59

Oh, I'm sorry, I can't. 50 is the best price.

0:15:590:16:03

-48?

-Best price, 50.

0:16:030:16:05

-49.50?

-If you want.

0:16:050:16:07

49.50. Done. Thank you very much, sir.

0:16:070:16:11

Look, every 50 cents helps, doesn't it?

0:16:110:16:13

'It certainly does. Bagging the box for £45,

0:16:130:16:16

'Stacey levels the playing field, taking the score to four-all.

0:16:160:16:21

'And before long he grabs another weighty bargain,

0:16:210:16:23

'two glass paperweights for just under £14.

0:16:230:16:27

'With time marching on, can the Diamond pull herself out of the trouble trench

0:16:270:16:31

'and show us some sparkle?'

0:16:310:16:33

I quite like these. They're champagne buckets.

0:16:330:16:36

And I said I wanted to get stuff with French writing. I've just bought one of these in England.

0:16:360:16:41

I won't tell you how much I paid, but it was considerably more than he's asking here.

0:16:410:16:45

He's only asking 12 Euros. That's only about £10.

0:16:450:16:48

I reckon if I buy more than one, we can beat him down on price.

0:16:480:16:52

'That bulk-buying tactic again. She's merciless.'

0:16:520:16:56

Let's try him on 15 Euros for two.

0:16:560:16:59

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:17:000:17:03

-Non. Non.

-Non?

-SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:17:030:17:07

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:17:070:17:11

He's asking where I'm from. Now I've said England, he'll be doubling the price.

0:17:110:17:15

18. 18 Euros. He's taken pity on me and I'm going to go for it.

0:17:150:17:19

-Dix-huit Euro? Parfait. Merci.

-HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:17:190:17:23

Oh. Yeah, for anyone else, it would've been much less money,

0:17:230:17:26

but cos we're English, it's 18.

0:17:260:17:29

'Ooh. Are our British beauty's charms wearing thin?

0:17:290:17:32

'That's just over £16 for the buckets.

0:17:320:17:35

'The clock's ticking on today's challenge and as they rev up for a final sprint to the finish line,

0:17:350:17:40

-'both our warriors are feeling the heat.'

-# The heat is on

0:17:400:17:44

-# It's on the street

-'And savvy Stacey is all action.'

0:17:440:17:47

This is a huge piece of crystal glass made in Lorraine, they say,

0:17:470:17:52

and it is marked on the bottom.

0:17:520:17:55

Crystal of Lorraine.

0:17:550:17:57

-Monsieur, what is your best price?

-Would be 25.

-Oh, come on, sir.

0:17:570:18:02

-You're packing up.

-Exceptionally I can make 20.

0:18:020:18:05

-18?

-No. 18, no.

0:18:050:18:07

-That would be no.

-19.

0:18:070:18:09

-19 Euros.

-No! I can make 20.

-Thank you very much.

0:18:090:18:14

'After that titanic tussle, Mark bags the bowl for a touch over £18.'

0:18:140:18:19

# Soon turned out had a heart of glass

0:18:190:18:21

'And he doesn't stop there. In no time at all, racy Stacey is green for go with an illuminating object.'

0:18:210:18:28

What I'm thinking of buying are a pair of French traffic lights.

0:18:280:18:34

But they're 150 Euros each, which is a lot of money

0:18:340:18:37

cos I'd have to get them converted again in Britain.

0:18:370:18:41

But they are quite funky. If, of course, you can find the right buyer for them.

0:18:410:18:45

And that is the trick question.

0:18:450:18:47

I think I might offer him 200 Euros for the two.

0:18:470:18:51

'Go on, Mark, get in there!'

0:18:510:18:54

Can you take, for the two, 200 Euros?

0:18:540:18:59

-Bless you.

-Merci.

0:19:000:19:03

Well, 200 Euros I'm paying for those

0:19:030:19:05

and I don't know whether it's going to be green for go

0:19:050:19:09

or more probably red for full stop.

0:19:090:19:12

'Wham! At nearly £182, that's his biggest purchase so far.

0:19:120:19:17

'And with no stop sign in sight, he quickly snaps up

0:19:170:19:20

'a Bohemian glass vase for just over £45.

0:19:200:19:24

'Is it all over for our Lincolnshire lady?'

0:19:240:19:26

It's down to literally the last few stalls now and I'm beginning to panic a little bit.

0:19:260:19:31

'Come on, Kate, don't give up.

0:19:310:19:33

'It's a mad dash to bag the last booty

0:19:350:19:38

'and our sparkling ice queen has something in her sights.'

0:19:380:19:42

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.

0:19:420:19:47

I'm thinking about them, and that tends to mean I'll regret it if I don't buy them.

0:19:470:19:51

They're designs for French furniture. I want them framed, but I think they're saleable, attractive.

0:19:510:19:56

So maybe if I could get them for...60 Euros each,

0:19:560:20:00

that's £50 each, that might be good. Or £50 for the pair.

0:20:000:20:03

That's probably got a good profit in it for me. So I'll ask the guy.

0:20:030:20:06

SHE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:20:060:20:10

Ooh-la-la.

0:20:110:20:13

THEY SPEAK FRENCH

0:20:130:20:16

I'm telling him it's the end of the day.

0:20:160:20:19

-Soixante?

-Oui.

-Oh! He's gone for it!

0:20:190:20:22

I knew I'd find a bargain right at the end of the day. Brilliant.

0:20:220:20:26

-I think this is pretty much all I've got left in the world. 60 Euros.

-60.

0:20:260:20:30

Soixante. He's going to check it.

0:20:300:20:32

-My money is good.

-HE SPEAKS FRENCH

0:20:320:20:35

Non. I think not. He's asking for a kiss as well as the 60 Euros. I'm holding firm.

0:20:350:20:40

'Well, you can't blame a bloke for trying.

0:20:400:20:42

'A final £55 purchase for the Diamond.

0:20:420:20:45

'She's had the sellers eating out of the palm of her manicured hand.'

0:20:450:20:50

# She's a lady

0:20:500:20:53

# Oh, oh, oh, she's a lady

0:20:530:20:56

'So, with the Parisian market over, it's time to tot up the totals.

0:20:570:21:02

'Mark and Kate arrived en France with £750 each.

0:21:020:21:07

'Mark ended up with eight items but spent modestly

0:21:070:21:10

'at just over £472.

0:21:100:21:13

'Kate bagged less with six items

0:21:130:21:16

'but splashed out nearly £621.

0:21:160:21:20

'Before they head back to Blighty, our lord and lady of the fair

0:21:200:21:24

-'get the chance to check out the competition.'

-I really regret the painting.

0:21:240:21:28

-I think I paid too much.

-I have to say, I'm desperate to find out what on earth you thought you were doing.

0:21:280:21:34

-I don't know. It was a moment of madness.

-The oil painting. Did you like the frame?

0:21:340:21:38

-The frame is nice.

-It'd make a lovely mirror.

-Oh, how rude!

0:21:380:21:41

That may be my bete noire. Come on, what have you got? I like the little casket, I'll give you that.

0:21:410:21:47

-This! What were you thinking?

-Oh, that's my favourite buy!

0:21:470:21:50

Do you know, that's spent the last 50 years in a Parisian attic.

0:21:500:21:54

It should spend the next 50 years in a Parisian attic.

0:21:540:21:58

-In Brighton, I'm going to make a fortune on that.

-Only in Brighton.

0:21:580:22:01

Stamford would not put that in their skips.

0:22:010:22:04

'For our antiques aces, buying the treasures was only the first part of their epic shoot-out.

0:22:060:22:12

'Now it's time for the Maverick and the Diamond to dust off their contact books,

0:22:120:22:16

'fasten their seatbelts and ramp up to jet speed as they start selling.'

0:22:160:22:20

Is it you that's going to be buying them rather than David?

0:22:200:22:23

'Profit is the name of the game, and in Northamptonshire,

0:22:240:22:27

'Put Your Money newbie and busy mum Kate is feeling the heat.'

0:22:270:22:31

Looking at the stuff now, I've got a couple of regrets.

0:22:310:22:35

This painting I paid too much for, and almost the same goes for this.

0:22:350:22:38

Mark steered clear of pictures and I kind of see why.

0:22:380:22:41

'Of course, that hasn't escaped her arch enemy's attention.'

0:22:410:22:44

Looking at her items, I think there's a few real problems.

0:22:440:22:48

The picture she bought was absolutely... I have to say hideous.

0:22:480:22:53

'Don't count your chickens though, Mark.

0:22:530:22:55

'The Diamond has some weapons of mass destruction in her arsenal.'

0:22:550:22:58

The other stuff I bought, I love. The champagne buckets, easy to sell. I don't think they'll be a problem.

0:22:580:23:04

The bottles were really cheap. The Sabino glass vase, I really like it,

0:23:040:23:08

and I've done more research and Sabino is a really good, well-known 1920s, 1930s Art Deco designer.

0:23:080:23:16

These are really nice, too. Quite classy. I can see those framed up somewhere nice.

0:23:160:23:20

'She may be new to this challenge but our rock-hard lady grew up in the antiques trade

0:23:200:23:25

'and she's determined to secure profit with a capital P!

0:23:250:23:29

'But she's got a fierce opponent in Brighton-based Mark.'

0:23:290:23:33

And I bought, in the main, what I consider to be very interesting and good lots.

0:23:330:23:38

I bought the stunning 1950s mirror dressing table, which I think is stunning but nobody else does so far.

0:23:380:23:44

A Copeland Spode Italian vase, typically English.

0:23:440:23:47

Two paperweights in the form of a sapphire and ruby.

0:23:470:23:51

A nice 19th century silver-plated box. A Bohemian overlay glass vase.

0:23:510:23:56

An iconic glass dish which I said I would never buy in a million years, and I bought one.

0:23:560:24:02

A rather nice French mid-19th century mahogany box.

0:24:020:24:06

And the most ridiculous thing of all, a pair of French traffic lights. What was I thinking?

0:24:060:24:12

'The Maverick thrives under pressure.

0:24:120:24:14

'It's going to be a dastardly dog fight between these two today.

0:24:140:24:19

'Our daring duo hit the phones to start flexing those profit-hunting pecs.

0:24:190:24:24

'Remember, until they shake on it and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.

0:24:240:24:29

'The cunning Diamond heads straight to Stamford, home to her family auction house

0:24:310:24:36

'and plenty of contacts, including vintage store owner Angela.

0:24:360:24:40

'She's hoping to net a nifty profit for the trio of bottles she bought for just under £5.'

0:24:400:24:45

-I saw these and thought of you.

-Lady bottles.

-What do you think? Lady bottles. Aren't they cool?

0:24:450:24:51

-I love them. They're French.

-Yes. And this is authentic French dirt. I haven't even cleaned them out.

0:24:510:24:56

-I love French dirt.

-You can over-clean them, you know? A bit of authenticity.

0:24:560:25:00

-I love it.

-I think they're 1950s.

-Yeah.

0:25:000:25:02

Diabolo Sport, she's doing this toy when you have this thing on a rope.

0:25:020:25:06

How cool are they? And I thought as a lady who does vintage stuff, bottles and all sorts...

0:25:060:25:12

-Yes, bottles and ladies.

-And ladies, it's right up your street.

0:25:120:25:15

-I love them. I am interested, but...

-As ever...

-Tell me.

0:25:150:25:20

In my head I'm thinking £10 each, £30.

0:25:200:25:23

-£10 each bottle?

-Yeah. £30 for the three.

0:25:230:25:26

They are really cool, and where else would you get one, apart from a French antiques market,

0:25:260:25:30

-where else in England are you going to find one?

-You've done this before.

0:25:300:25:34

-Is it working? Is it working?

-£10 a bottle is too much.

-Right.

0:25:340:25:40

-What about £8 per bottle?

-I was going to say £8 a bottle, so 24 and then another one for luck.

0:25:400:25:45

-25 cos it's a round number.

-I like round numbers. What is it in French?

-Vingt-cinq.

-Vingt-cinq.

0:25:450:25:51

I think I'm happy with vingt-cinq pounds for the three bottles.

0:25:510:25:54

-I don't know what "it's a deal" is in French, but it's a deal.

-Thank you very much.

0:25:540:25:59

-# Say ooh-la-la

-'Ooh-la-la! There's no holding back the new girl.

0:25:590:26:04

'Canny Kate pockets her first profit of just over £20.

'the wooden box he bought for £45 to collector Liz.'

0:26:110:26:17

-It's lovely. Oh, it's exquisite, Mark.

-I love the colour.

0:26:170:26:21

-Oh, I do like that.

-I think it... I thought it was beautiful.

-It's just lovely.

0:26:210:26:26

They've even finished, as a little sign of quality, they've finished the edging off here in a sort of ebony.

0:26:260:26:32

-They have. Yes.

-From around about 1860.

-Oh, really?

-So, it's mid-19th century.

0:26:320:26:37

-Yes.

-I was looking between 80 and 100.

0:26:370:26:41

-Oh, really? Yes.

-So what are your feelings on that?

0:26:410:26:44

I would like to offer you 80. Would you accept 80?

0:26:460:26:51

-I'd be delighted to accept 80.

-Thank you, Mark. That's lovely. I would love to have it.

0:26:510:26:56

-Thank you so much, darling.

-Thank you very much.

0:27:210:27:25

Now, I've come to see a lovely chap called George

0:27:260:27:29

because I'm hoping he's going to be interested in my stained-glass panel or my window-drawing panel.

0:27:290:27:34

He's an expert in Renaissance and 16th century glass.

0:27:340:27:37

I paid about £90 for it so anything over £100 would be an absolute bonus. Let's go and meet him.

0:27:370:27:43

'Come on, Diamond. We're rooting for you.'

0:27:430:27:46

-Now, I know you're a collector but this isn't really your sort of field.

-No, no, it isn't.

0:27:460:27:51

It's fun. It's a fun piece.

0:27:510:27:55

Do you think you might be able to sell it to one of your contacts, maybe?

0:27:550:27:59

I shall probably use it as a sort of talking point.

0:27:590:28:02

Oh, there we go. So I suppose, getting to the point, how much is a talking point worth?

0:28:020:28:07

-Actually, this is where you start doing the talking.

-Ah.

0:28:070:28:10

-Believe it or not, you're selling, I'm buying.

-Hopefully. Well, £200, something like that.

-Ah.

0:28:100:28:17

-Well, may I counter?

-Go on, then.

-You started at the top of your list. Let me start and let me say £100.

0:28:170:28:24

-OK. I can come down a little.

-I hope you can.

0:28:240:28:29

-How about we meet in the middle? How about 150?

-Erm, make it 125.

0:28:290:28:35

How about 130? Final haggle. Every penny counts for me.

0:28:350:28:38

-130 and I'd be really happy with that, cos it is very specialist, I have to admit.

-OK. 130.

0:28:380:28:43

-Yeah?

-Yes, indeed.

-Brilliant. 130. We'll shake on it. Thank you very much.

-Pleasure.

0:28:430:28:48

'She's done it. That's just over £39 profit

'This diamond dealer knows how to work her contacts book.

0:28:560:28:59

'She's got stiff competition in the south coast colossus, though.'

0:28:590:29:02

Well, it's a very bracing morning here in Sussex, as you can see,

0:29:020:29:06

and I've just come up the coast from Brighton to see a friend of mine, Andy,

0:29:060:29:11

who own a large pub here and has expressed an interest in my French traffic lights.

0:29:110:29:15

I paid just over £180 for these, quite a lot of money.

0:29:150:29:19

And I've been rather cheeky in asking quite a lot for them,

0:29:190:29:22

but whether it's a green light or not, I don't know yet, I'm just about to find out.

0:29:220:29:26

'Well, you can certainly stop traffic with your shirt, Mark,

0:29:260:29:30

'To ensure there's no safety risk, Mark's had the old wiring removed at a cost of £5.

0:29:300:29:35

'So, can he light up a profit?'

0:29:350:29:37

-I've shown you some photographs of these.

-It doesn't do them justice.

0:29:370:29:41

I bought them in Paris as a wacky five minutes, the fair was closing,

0:29:410:29:44

I saw them and thought, "They're so funky, someone will love them."

0:29:440:29:48

I think they're really nice. I think once they're lit up and sparkling away,

0:29:480:29:52

maybe a little bit of restoration, they'll look fabulous.

0:29:520:29:56

-Anywhere particular in mind for them?

-Oh, yes, I think they'll fit very nicely on the wall up there.

0:29:560:30:01

One either side of the mirror would look very good.

0:30:010:30:04

I did mention in my e-mail, Andy, a rather cheeky figure.

0:30:040:30:09

-Yes, I thought that was cheeky, as well.

-£300, wasn't it?

0:30:090:30:12

-How cheeky is that, do you think?

-Erm, quite a bit.

-Oh, dear.

0:30:120:30:17

This is where it's all going to go terribly wrong.

0:30:170:30:20

-Erm, I would be looking more about half that, I think.

-HE GASPS

0:30:200:30:24

-Oh, gosh.

-'Ouch! That would be a loss.'

0:30:240:30:27

They are very nice but they need rewiring and they're small and... How about 220?

0:30:270:30:34

-230.

-225.

0:30:340:30:37

Well, I tell you what, if I settle on 225,

0:30:410:30:45

-you've got to get them up on the wall and work it, and I'll come back...

-Will do that.

0:30:450:30:49

-..and do a grand illumination.

-That would be fabulous, yes.

0:30:490:30:53

'Well, after that almighty tussle,

0:30:530:30:56

'our hero emerges victorious with just over £38 profit.

0:30:560:30:59

'And a few weeks later he returns to get the party started.'

0:30:590:31:04

It gives me great pleasure to give these lights the green light.

0:31:040:31:07

# So you better get this party started THEY CHEER

0:31:070:31:11

Don't they look fabulous?

0:31:140:31:17

I should have held out for more money.

0:31:170:31:19

'Well, it's too late now, Mark, the deal's done and dusted.

0:31:190:31:23

'Maverick's had his moment in the limelight and he's three-two up.

0:31:230:31:26

'But his nemesis is blazing a profit-seeking trail across the British countryside.'

0:31:260:31:32

I've brought my French drawings here to Stapleford Park in Leicestershire

0:31:320:31:36

which is a fantastic country house hotel, absolutely beautiful setting.

0:31:360:31:39

And I know the interior is as elegant as the exterior. I paid about £55 for these.

0:31:390:31:43

I'm hoping to make a small profit, maybe £80, £90, something like that.

0:31:430:31:47

I'm pretty sure they could use them in the interior, maybe for one of the bedrooms.

0:31:470:31:52

These are absolutely gorgeous. Let's go and see what they think inside.

0:31:520:31:55

# He lives in a house, a very big house in the country

0:31:550:31:59

# He's got a fog in his chest so he needs a lot of rest in the country

0:32:000:32:04

'Our diamond dealer has lined up a meeting with house host Pam. Time to show us what she's made of.'

0:32:040:32:10

I have to say, this is a beautiful setting. Is there any French influence around here?

0:32:100:32:15

People say that the front of the house does have a French feel, that it looks like a French chateau.

0:32:150:32:20

Well, there's obviously a bit of French about these two.

0:32:200:32:23

First of all, tell me your first impressions?

0:32:230:32:26

Well, they're fascinating drawings. One of the things I'm asked to do as the house host here

0:32:260:32:32

is search out pictures and things where I think they're needed in different rooms.

0:32:320:32:36

So it might save me a lot of leg-work if I got a nice little bargain.

0:32:360:32:40

-Any of the French pictures looking tired, maybe?

-Well, there's one or two.

0:32:400:32:44

-What sort of figure would you be thinking you might be looking for for them?

-100, say.

-I don't know.

0:32:440:32:50

I wasn't quite given that budget when I was asked to go and buy some pictures for things.

0:32:500:32:55

-Counter offer, come on.

-Would you go for 80, do you think?

-£80 would work for me.

0:32:550:33:01

'Canny Kate does it again, bagging just over £25 profit.

0:33:010:33:05

'But she needs to do bigger and better than that,

0:33:050:33:09

'as in his shop on the south coast, the brawn of Brighton is preparing to pack a killer punch.'

0:33:090:33:14

Mirrored furniture is really in, and this is funky and kitsch, just what the market wants.

0:33:140:33:18

But, and it's a big but, it's been damaged in transport.

0:33:180:33:22

The handle's been knocked and there's a small crack in the drawer.

0:33:220:33:25

I think if it hadn't been damaged, I would have been looking at well over £300, pushing towards 350.

0:33:250:33:31

But if I can get anywhere near 200, there's still quite a healthy margin in it for me.

0:33:310:33:36

That's why I have decided to try and sell it. Fingers crossed, anyway.

0:33:360:33:40

'Ooh. Will that damage shoot the Maverick's profit down in flames?

0:33:400:33:44

'He paid just over £109, but can local dealer Richard see past its problems?'

0:33:440:33:50

I've reduced the asking price and you're still vaguely interested.

0:33:500:33:54

I am. My wife and I, we love it. Every time we've driven past the last week,

0:33:540:33:58

approaching the shop, I say, "Jane, eyes right. Dressing table."

0:33:580:34:02

So we've seen it at the back and we really love it.

0:34:020:34:05

The crack, it doesn't really bother me, Mark, to be quite honest.

0:34:050:34:10

The overall thing is quaint and we love it.

0:34:100:34:13

'Sounding positive. Time to move in for the kill.'

0:34:130:34:16

What about 220?

0:34:160:34:18

-210 and I'm very happy to do the restoration.

-£210.

0:34:200:34:25

-Yes. I'm happy to do that.

-Great.

0:34:250:34:28

'And he's done it! It's less than he originally hoped for but Mark didn't let that damage stand in his way

0:34:280:34:33

'and banks his biggest profit so far, nearly £101.

0:34:330:34:37

'We've reached the halfway stage in this selling bonanza

0:34:370:34:40

'and it's been an epic battle of brains and brawn.

0:34:430:34:47

'but her profit stands at just under £85.

'but he's sold four of his eight items,

0:34:540:34:56

'Our superhero is determined to emerge victorious. She's got an Art Deco vase to sell.

0:35:160:35:22

'It cost her nearly £182. Time to unleash her haggling powers on Deco shop owner Yarun.'

0:35:220:35:29

-I was hoping for around the 350 mark.

-'Ooh, she's aiming high.'

0:35:290:35:35

-I'm happy to pay £300.

-320.

-I don't think I can.

-Go on!

0:35:350:35:40

-Every penny counts. I've got to beat Mark Stacey.

-Do you? 300 I'll buy it.

0:35:400:35:45

310 and I'll take it. I need every tenner I can. 310?

0:35:450:35:50

-It's a lovely thing.

-OK, 310.

-Brilliant.

-Thank you very much.

0:35:500:35:53

'Oh, she worked hard for that.

0:35:530:35:55

0:35:550:36:00

'In Brighton, oblivious to Kate's success,

0:36:000:36:03

'Mark has hunted down a fashionable buyer for his paperweights.'

0:36:030:36:07

Now, I've brought my rather glamorous paperweights formed as a large ruby and sapphire

0:36:070:36:12

to someone I know called Marianne, who's in a world that I'm not terribly familiar with,

0:36:120:36:17

haute couture, she designs her own dresses.

0:36:170:36:20

I paid just over £13 for these. Will I sew up a healthy profit? Let's have a go.

0:36:200:36:26

'Not familiar with haute couture? You're too modest. We've seen some fabulous togs in your collection.'

# Come on, vogue

0:36:320:36:34

# Let your body move to the music

0:36:350:36:38

-I bought these in Paris.

-Ooh.

0:36:380:36:41

And I just thought, you're a woman who likes sparkly things.

0:36:410:36:45

-Yes.

-Bit of a magpie.

-Oh, no! They're lovely. I could definitely use these.

0:36:450:36:50

-But what would you use them as?

-I'll tell you exactly what I would use them as,

0:36:500:36:54

I'd use these for weighing down my slippery fabrics. And it will not move.

0:36:540:36:58

-And it will look very glamorous.

-I know!

-Just like your designs.

-Oh, thank you.

0:36:580:37:03

-So you like them?

-Yes. I love them very much.

0:37:030:37:07

-Do you like them enough to pay...

-Ooh, here he comes, now!

0:37:070:37:12

-I'll give you 25.

-25? I've brought them all the way from Paris.

0:37:120:37:16

-Don't make me feel bad!

-I've brought them all the way from Paris to Hove.

-All the way from Paris!

0:37:160:37:23

-Don't!

-What about...

-Yes?

0:37:230:37:27

28?

0:37:270:37:29

-Done.

-I think I have been. Thank you very much.

0:37:310:37:35

-It's a pleasure doing business with you.

-I hope those cakes are for us.

0:37:350:37:39

-Of course they are.

-Cos I've earned those.

'It cost nearly £273 so it's a nail-biting moment as she unveils it to pub landlord Steve.'

0:38:190:38:26

-What do you think?

-I absolutely love the picture but I hate the frame.

-You hate the frame?

0:38:260:38:30

-Yeah.

-This is a great frame! This is a proper giltwood one.

0:38:300:38:34

-But the actual painting you like?

-The actual painting I really like.

-OK.

-Probably too much.

0:38:340:38:39

Oh, that's a good thing. I thought a wheat sheaf pub, and these are probably wheat sheaves or hay,

0:38:390:38:45

-it's a bit tenuous.

-This pub was actually built for people that did this work,

0:38:450:38:49

and this was treated as their canteen where they could have a pint and a ploughman's after lunch.

0:38:490:38:54

-But that is what they did.

-'Our cunning contender has sewn the seeds for a great deal,

0:38:540:39:00

'but will she harvest a profit?'

0:39:000:39:02

-I mean, I am hoping for about 380 for that.

-Whoa.

0:39:020:39:05

-No. No. You're way off. I'd get strung up if I paid 380 for that.

-Really?

0:39:050:39:10

-'Ooh, that's not a good start.'

-OK, well, what sort of figure were you thinking, then?

0:39:100:39:15

-I'd be expecting to pay 100 quid.

-It cost me lots more than that.

0:39:150:39:19

-I can come a bit lower.

-You'd have to come a lot lower, Kate.

0:39:190:39:22

Well, I can come down, I can do 300. And I'd make a very small profit. But I still would make some profit.

0:39:220:39:28

OK, well, we've got to stop messing about. 250. And that will be it.

0:39:280:39:31

I'm happy to keep this if I can't make a small profit.

0:39:500:39:55

I was thinking maybe £30 each. £60, something like that, for the two.

0:39:550:40:01

Ooh, that's quite high. English wine-makers don't make that much, you know?

0:40:010:40:05

Maybe 50 for the two. Would you consider that?

0:40:050:40:08

-50 for the two.

-Yeah.

-£50, that will give us something to celebrate.

0:40:080:40:12

-So £50.

-Maybe we should go and open a bottle of fizz.

-That sounds a good idea. Lead on.

0:41:560:42:00

-I loved that foreign market in Paris.

-I really enjoyed the buying. It was lovely.

0:42:000:42:04
