0:00:02 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is,
0:00:04 > 0:00:06the show that pitches TV's best-loved antiques experts
0:00:06 > 0:00:08against each other
0:00:08 > 0:00:10in an all-out battle for profit...
0:00:11 > 0:00:13I'm a double-your-money girl.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14..and give you
0:00:14 > 0:00:16the insider's view of the trade.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18You've got to be in it to win it.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:22 > 0:00:24will face a different daily challenge.
0:00:24 > 0:00:26We've got some work to do, let's go.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28Putting their own money
0:00:28 > 0:00:31and their hard-earned reputations on the line...
0:00:31 > 0:00:35as they see who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38Get in there!
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Today's all-out battle for profit pitches
0:00:42 > 0:00:45auguste auctioneer extraordinaire Charlie Ross,
0:00:45 > 0:00:49against the marvellous mistress of miscellanea, Katherine Higgins.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53Coming up, Charlie has an almighty fight on his hands.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- You're nearly there. £40, £40 you've got a deal.- It's too much money!
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Has Katherine got the better of her rival?
0:01:00 > 0:01:03So I'm relaxed, but how's the Charmer doing, I wonder?
0:01:03 > 0:01:08And when it comes to selling, Charlie does a ding-dong of a deal.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10What do you need?
0:01:12 > 0:01:16Look! Otherwise I could have come in here and taken six pairs of trousers,
0:01:16 > 0:01:18disappeared outside the door.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- HE TOOTS HORN - Stand and deliver,
0:01:34 > 0:01:38because today, two behemoths of bargain spotting
0:01:38 > 0:01:43are lying in wait and are poised to purloin all the prime purchases.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44First to mount his steed,
0:01:44 > 0:01:48it's that dandy auctioneer that you're much too scared to mention...
0:01:51 > 0:01:52Ooh, I say!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55And riding like the wind, she spends her cash,
0:01:55 > 0:01:59she sure looks flash and she always grabs your attention...
0:02:02 > 0:02:06Charlie, it's another thing you missed. What ARE you doing?!
0:02:06 > 0:02:10This dastardly duo will be pulling off the most death-defying deals...
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Put your bicycle away and kiss me!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15..at Ardingly Antiques and Collectibles Fair
0:02:15 > 0:02:17at the South of England Showground,
0:02:17 > 0:02:18as they race to see
0:02:18 > 0:02:22who can buy and sell their spoils for the most money.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26They've each got £750 of their own cash to spend
0:02:26 > 0:02:29and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33So, Charlie Ross and Katherine Higgins,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35it's time to put your money where your mouth is!
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Hee-hee!- Good morning! - Good morning, gorgeous. How are you?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Well, we're in the southeast of England at a great antiques fair -
0:02:42 > 0:02:43it's slightly large.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47- It's absolutely glorious weather! - He's sunbathing already!
0:02:47 > 0:02:51I'm going to find a lounger and spend the day in it, I think.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54- You're just going to take it easy, but don't!- Why?
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Because Higgins strikes again!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59- Higgins!- Just when you thought you could wander off on your own, no.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Hello, Charlie. Hello, Charlie. - Hello, Higgins!
0:03:03 > 0:03:04What fun!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- How much have you got to spend?- £750.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- So have I.- Funny that(!)
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Are you going to spend it all? - Mais, oui!
0:03:11 > 0:03:12I bet you don't.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- You're a £2 girl, aren't you? - I am a £2 girl, yes.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Absolutely, but I'm out to have some fun, so...
0:03:19 > 0:03:20I'm a £500 man!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- That frightens me. - I'm going to spend it now.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Have fun in the sun. - See you later.- Bye!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28So as the good people of Ardingly set up their stalls for the day,
0:03:28 > 0:03:32little do they know that two of the deadliest deal-doers in the trade
0:03:32 > 0:03:35are galloping their way through the market.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38I don't have a strategy. I have no idea what I'm going to find.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40It can go...
0:03:40 > 0:03:43from the conventional to the ridiculous.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Probably, I'll be finding more of the ridiculous,
0:03:45 > 0:03:48but I'm going to have a lot of fun in the process.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53So, a spontaneous buy-at-will plan of action for Katherine The Great,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55but how will The Charmer counter that?
0:03:55 > 0:03:59I'm going to think sport because I love sport.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05Anything relating to cricket, football, whatever and...alcohol.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09So, anything relating to those two subjects
0:04:09 > 0:04:11will be mine by the end of the day.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14So, with no overlaps in their battle plans,
0:04:14 > 0:04:16this could be a good, clean fight.
0:04:16 > 0:04:21The Charmer is first to swoop as he spots a diamond of a decanter.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23For a whiskey lover, this is the ultimate.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Put your whiskey in there,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28lock it up, take the key out
0:04:28 > 0:04:32and nobody can get to your whiskey.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Isn't that fantastic?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Silver-plated neck, hobnailed cut body and what did it cost?
0:04:38 > 0:04:42You're thinking...£200, £300 - no!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44£75!
0:04:44 > 0:04:47The Charmer is delighted with his first purchase.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50The great one will need to get her act together fast
0:04:50 > 0:04:52if she wants to keep up.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55And showing she can rise to the challenge,
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Katherine The Great's preparing for a hold-up or two.
0:04:59 > 0:05:00We're in the world of stockings.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03The glamour and what is inside this packet
0:05:03 > 0:05:07is revealed by the illustration on the outside and I love that.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- How much do you want for these? - Make me an offer!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12£3 for the lot, a pound each.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15No! £5.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I'd prefer to stick.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'll go to £4, though.
0:05:20 > 0:05:21£5.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25OK, this is the moment where I'm going to be really controlled,
0:05:25 > 0:05:26look at this control.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28They are going to go back on there...
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- £4.50, we'll meet in the middle. - OK, £4.50.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- £4.50, you've got a deal.- Yeah.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Thank you very much.- Fantastic.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Have a good day.- Thank you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40So, with a hard-won, first buy finally in the bag,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42Katherine's feeling confident.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45So, I'm relaxed, but how's The Charmer doing, I wonder?
0:05:45 > 0:05:49Hello, Charlie. Hello, Charlie. Come in.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Hello, hello. Good evening, how are you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Good evening?! Have you finished shopping already?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Yep, bought the lot. Now having a cup of coffee.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Having a cup of coffee!
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- How much have you bought? - One, two, three... Four things.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05OK, I was relaxed until he said that.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Oh, a masterful game of bluff there from wily old Roscoe.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12He's got Katherine worried.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Then, with his eye back on the prize,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17The Charmer has alighted on something he'd give
0:06:17 > 0:06:19a ringing endorsement to.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21That's a very nice bell. Is it a fiver?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23Just a little bit more, £65.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh, come on! BELL RINGS
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Can you call the police?
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Can you call the police?
0:06:29 > 0:06:32This man had to go to court for breaking into a five pound note.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36I haven't come for a comedy lesson. Would you take 30 quid for it?
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- Let me see. - I could make a profit on £30.
0:06:38 > 0:06:3945 quid, we've done a deal.
0:06:39 > 0:06:4230 quid - you must be able to do something for me?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44I'm not usually a hard man to deal with.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48You're nearly there. £40. £40, you've got a deal.
0:06:48 > 0:06:49It's too much money!
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- £35 or £40. Toss of a coin. - £35 or £40?!
0:06:52 > 0:06:53Go on, you call. Ready? Here we go.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55Oh...tails!
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Heads. I feel so sad for you(!)
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Aw, The Charmer didn't really know what hit him there!
0:07:02 > 0:07:06A big hand definitely goes to the stall holder for a spirited fight.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08MOCK APPLAUSE
0:07:09 > 0:07:12A classic bit of Victorian history.
0:07:12 > 0:07:151868 - the sort of bell you'd find
0:07:15 > 0:07:18in a very, very smart shop in London,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21something like Harrods, do you think, or Fortnum's?
0:07:21 > 0:07:23It's absolutely wonderful!
0:07:23 > 0:07:24The only problem...
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I have got a slightly rusty dinger.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30HE RINGS BELL
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Always dodgy to have a rusty dinger.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36Yeah, whatever you say, Charlie. The Charmer is back in the lead.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's over to Katherine The Great,
0:07:39 > 0:07:42who's found her own unique way of getting ahead.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Guess what I've just bought? This!
0:07:45 > 0:07:48The style - firmly into the 1960s here
0:07:48 > 0:07:53with a hat that is beautifully made.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56You just look at it and it oozes quality.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Then you turn it around and you look at the branding
0:07:59 > 0:08:01and the label,
0:08:01 > 0:08:05and it is a really lovely, quality Christian Dior piece.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07Do you know how much I paid for it?
0:08:09 > 0:08:10(£5!)
0:08:12 > 0:08:17£5! It is a gem of a buy.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So it's the heady taste of success for Katherine
0:08:20 > 0:08:25and she's quick to follow up with purchase number three.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It is a powder compact,
0:08:27 > 0:08:29post-war by Kigu.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33Wonderful tooling on the exterior.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Great finish on the reverse
0:08:36 > 0:08:40and then when you open it, oh, my goodness me, look at that!
0:08:40 > 0:08:44It is a gem, beautifully designed, never been used
0:08:44 > 0:08:47and if you were a lady with the means to spend,
0:08:47 > 0:08:49you wanted one of these.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51I paid £5 for it.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55Originally, when it was new, it was a top department store piece,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58probably the equivalent of £60, £70, something like that.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Yes, what a great way to powder your nose!
0:09:01 > 0:09:06Katherine The Great is jubilant but for how long?
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Charlie has just worked his charm on another stallholder.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Look at this!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15What is it?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18I'll give you five seconds to guess what it is.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27It's a silver,
0:09:27 > 0:09:29hallmarked silver bookmark.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34Slip the cover onto there and this is spring-loaded
0:09:34 > 0:09:38and each time you finish reading, about to fall asleep,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42pop that in and the spring-loaded marker goes between the pages,
0:09:42 > 0:09:44so when you next pick up your book,
0:09:44 > 0:09:46you know exactly where you are.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48There are all sorts of bookmarks,
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I've bought hundreds of bookmarks over the years,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but this is quite the nicest one I have ever seen.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Do you know how much I paid for this?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I paid...£200 for it.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03£200!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05Bonkers? Possibly.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07But, I'm absolutely certain
0:10:07 > 0:10:11I could walk around the whole of this fair
0:10:11 > 0:10:14and another 100 fairs and never see one.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17All I've got to do is find someone that likes reading
0:10:17 > 0:10:19and is unbelievably rich.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23With that bold buy of the rare bookmark,
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Charlie evens up the contest.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31With his rival still working her way through the aisles,
0:10:31 > 0:10:35The Charmer wastes no time in descending on a desk stand.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39It's Italian, it's Sorrento near Naples
0:10:39 > 0:10:41and made of olive wood,
0:10:41 > 0:10:43as you would expect,
0:10:43 > 0:10:45and I would say date...
0:10:45 > 0:10:49beginning of the 20th century, 1900, 1910.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Lovely cut-glass inkwells.
0:10:51 > 0:10:57The thing to really look at is the condition
0:10:57 > 0:10:59and it looks...
0:10:59 > 0:11:01virtually perfect.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05I don't suppose you'd take 50 quid for it, would you?
0:11:05 > 0:11:06- No.- No!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08- What about £75?- How about £100?
0:11:08 > 0:11:12£100's always a psychological barrier with me.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14If you took a little bit off £100,
0:11:14 > 0:11:18I think we'd have a deal because the condition is fantastic.
0:11:18 > 0:11:19£90 and a kiss, Charlie.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22£90 and a kiss it is.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25The Charmer gets an offer he can't refuse.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28After that debonair deal,
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Signor Rosso spies another item of Italian provenance.
0:11:32 > 0:11:36That is another piece of Sorrento wear.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39To think you went on tour to Italy and down to Naples,
0:11:39 > 0:11:42and this is a souvenir
0:11:42 > 0:11:47and you probably bought that in about 1910, 1920 for...
0:11:48 > 0:11:50..goodness knows, a few lira probably.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53This is more than a few lira.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54This is £125.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56Is there much leeway, my dear?
0:11:56 > 0:11:57£95.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02£125 down to £95, I couldn't squeeze you a fraction on that, could I?
0:12:02 > 0:12:05- I'll do £90.- £90 is yours.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10The Charmer gambles on another Italian buy,
0:12:10 > 0:12:13hoping it'll deliver him a piece of la dolce vita.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18The Charmer's forging ahead
0:12:18 > 0:12:21in this tussle to take home the goods,
0:12:21 > 0:12:25but watch out Roscoe, Katherine The Great is planning a surprise ambush!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32- Ooh!- Where did you come from?!
0:12:32 > 0:12:34I've bought lots of things you'd love to wear.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I'll keep you guessing as to what they are.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I've nearly spent all my money... - Have you?!
0:12:39 > 0:12:42..I've spent £100, £200, £300, £500, £600.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45- But you only had £750, have you spent over budget?- I know.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48I don't want to go home with any, you know I don't go home with any.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I need to shop, seriously!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54So, with Katherine feeling the need to spend speedily,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57we're at the end of the first stage of our plunder for profit.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Who has snatched the biggest bundle of booty so far?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Both our antiques outlaws
0:13:03 > 0:13:07each had up to £750 of their own cash to spend today.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Charlie The Charmer has filled up his swag bag early,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13with a mighty five buys
0:13:13 > 0:13:15and spent a huge £495,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19which leaves him just £255 in his kitty.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23While Katherine The Great is trailing in his wake
0:13:23 > 0:13:27with three purchases and has spent a mere £14.50,
0:13:27 > 0:13:31leaving her £735.50 still to play with.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37Our bargain-snatching bandits are back on the loose
0:13:37 > 0:13:41and set to pillage the piles of plenty on display here at Ardingly.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I just want to get on and see everything else.
0:13:44 > 0:13:45HE BLOWS HORN
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And Katherine The Great is striding out into unexplored territories
0:13:48 > 0:13:52in her attempts to catch up with The Charmer.
0:13:52 > 0:13:57I've come inside to...to warm up, really. That's the secret of it.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59I often quite like this environment cos you tend to find
0:13:59 > 0:14:04dealers who specialise in one or two different types of things.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08It's easier to sift. Let the sifting begin!
0:14:08 > 0:14:13With Katherine focused and meaning business, what of The Charmer?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I have spent...£500?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20The pressure's off.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24I'll keep looking just in case I find le vrai snip,
0:14:24 > 0:14:27but otherwise I'm just going to play it cool.
0:14:27 > 0:14:31With our laid-back Charmer well ahead...
0:14:32 > 0:14:35..Katherine is having to spur herself into buying action
0:14:35 > 0:14:36to keep him in her sights
0:14:36 > 0:14:40and she's starting with something a little bit racy!
0:14:44 > 0:14:47I can't resist baskets like this, filled with lace.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50I think it's one of the most interesting
0:14:50 > 0:14:53and completely underrated areas of collecting.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56I did have a little rifle through here
0:14:56 > 0:14:59and I found some lovely pieces of Maltese lace.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03The distinguishing factor of Maltese lace if you look very closely is,
0:15:03 > 0:15:08you can see the Maltese Cross, here, interwoven in the design.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Now, this was all handwork
0:15:10 > 0:15:14and I think my love of it is for that reason.
0:15:15 > 0:15:20The great one snaps up two pieces of Maltese lace for £16.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24A great, great buy and a fantastic piece of costume history.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29Katherine is in the zone now and determined to catch Charlie
0:15:29 > 0:15:32and she soon adds another purchase to her haul,
0:15:32 > 0:15:36paying £30 for a Jane Austen novel and three prints.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39These are, just looking at them now,
0:15:39 > 0:15:42just fantastic quality prints.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I've gone for things relating to Lord Nelson.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47There's the classic image of the death of Nelson,
0:15:47 > 0:15:51here...at Trafalgar in 1805.
0:15:51 > 0:15:53What's nice about these is that you've got
0:15:53 > 0:15:55vignettes around the outside,
0:15:55 > 0:15:57that's very unusual or a little bit more unusual
0:15:57 > 0:15:59to have those on top of the print itself.
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Both very nicely done,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03dating not from 1805
0:16:03 > 0:16:06but probably from the mid-1860s, that sort of period,
0:16:06 > 0:16:09and...
0:16:09 > 0:16:11I also went for the image of Byron.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Again, very nicely done
0:16:13 > 0:16:15and I've also thrown in
0:16:15 > 0:16:19a very nice copy of Mansfield Park by Jane Austen.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It's a first edition by Dent & Sons.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24The whole lot I got for £30.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I MUST be able to improve on that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And with that masterful purchase,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Katherine evens the score to 5-5.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37But with time marching on, Charlie's sense of urgency has returned.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40But our charming man is about to be on the receiving end
0:16:40 > 0:16:42of a whirlwind of wooing
0:16:42 > 0:16:44as he meets one stallholder
0:16:44 > 0:16:47who really wants to make a sale.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- How wonderful! - That is the original trophy.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52The quality is really good.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54The chap who worked on the bins in Lewisham -
0:16:54 > 0:16:5750 years and all the scrap, this is what they made.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59JC Peters, very good maker.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Only worked for seven years.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04That's rather nice, that is.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06That is lovely, but it's not me.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08So, what have you got, Charlie?
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Spoon, solid silver,
0:17:11 > 0:17:13Shirley golf club.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17I shall go there, sit at the bar, chat up the locals
0:17:17 > 0:17:19and sell it to one of them...I hope!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25With the sporting buy in the bag for £30, The Charmer's back in the lead.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29But Katherine is outside and she's spotted something.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31Furniture?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Is Katherine trespassing into Charlie's territory?
0:17:34 > 0:17:38We're in a 20th-century copy of an earlier style,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40but d'you know what?
0:17:40 > 0:17:43I don't mind that, because I think that these pieces
0:17:43 > 0:17:45are made really well.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48It's down to how much I can get them for, really.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52The great one's furniture foray costs her £40.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I'm very, very pleased.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Charlie, it's another thing you missed! What ARE you doing?!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Our duelling duo are back level pegging once again,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04but Charlie's not done yet.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07He's teed up another golf-related purchase.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09I simply can't stop!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11You walk past somebody and you see something...
0:18:11 > 0:18:14I wouldn't say you like, but something you can sell,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17a golfing weather vane.
0:18:17 > 0:18:18Cracking, 30 quid!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21And, on the other hand, something of real quality.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24A late 19th-century Worcester biscuit barrel
0:18:24 > 0:18:27but with fabulous silver-plated mounts and an ivory knop.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32£95, £30, more profit!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34That's a real double-whammy for Charlie
0:18:34 > 0:18:36with those two last-minute buys.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38The Charmer doesn't believe
0:18:38 > 0:18:40in giving his opponent a sporting chance -
0:18:40 > 0:18:44sticking to his theme, he's eyeing up a miniature golf game.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46It's 25 quid.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48I'll give you £20.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50£25.
0:18:50 > 0:18:51We'll have a competition.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53- If I'm nearer the hole...- Yeah?
0:18:53 > 0:18:54- ..20 quid.- Yeah.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57- If you're nearer the hole...25 quid. - All right.
0:18:57 > 0:18:59Here we go.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04Oh, that's gone past the hole.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Your shot.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08You might get stuck in the bunker.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10- 25 quid, mate!- Ah!
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Yes, proving for the second time today that gambling doesn't pay!
0:19:15 > 0:19:19Charlie has to shell out £25 for the mini golf.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21You ought to give up antique dealing and take up golf!
0:19:21 > 0:19:23I'm going to go home and practice.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25And so you should!
0:19:25 > 0:19:29And with that, the big game is over, here at Ardingly.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31The market stalls are packing up for the day,
0:19:31 > 0:19:34so it's time to see who's been left standing
0:19:34 > 0:19:36and who has delivered.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Our antiques heavyweights both started the day
0:19:40 > 0:19:43with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48Charlie The Charmer rode into action fast, amassing the valuables.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52He made nine purchases and spent a whopping £675!
0:19:52 > 0:19:56Katherine The Great's swag bag is way lighter
0:19:56 > 0:19:59with a total spend of just £100.50
0:19:59 > 0:20:02for her six purchases.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07So, with the best of the booty all plundered,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11it's time for our two swag-grabbers to see each other's spoils.
0:20:11 > 0:20:16Well, I can tell which is the female table and which is the male table.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20OK, it's got a bit girly over here. But girly and sensibly girly.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24And hang on, you've gone pre-1900, Miss Higgins.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- I don't know what happened. There was a moment. - You've broken your rule.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29- I have.- In fact, you're very nearly back to 1800.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33- It was a foray into Britain's great history.- Thoroughly approve!
0:20:33 > 0:20:35- Good, big tip. - Not sure about the rest of it.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39You know, when you go on holiday these days, you don't bring back
0:20:39 > 0:20:42- a tourist souvenir like that. - You certainly don't.- For a reason.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47Ha-ha! My real gamble is my bookmark.
0:20:47 > 0:20:52- Really?- I need someone that reads and has got unlimited money.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Most of the people who read have actually bought electronic devices
0:20:55 > 0:20:58- to read with, so the idea of paper...- No, no, no.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Not people that read proper books. Now tell me, just turn round.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05You can't love a piece of repro mahogany.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08We all accept that it is 20th century.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11And today, you can't get pieces so nicely made.
0:21:11 > 0:21:15- And it wasn't a quality price. - You sell it privately, fantastic.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18- Don't put something like that into auction.- No, no, no.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22I've got someone in mind. Who's going to win?
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Well, if I double my money and you double your money,
0:21:25 > 0:21:30I will make £607 and you will make £100.50.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33Do you know what, I don't think you've got your sums right.
0:21:38 > 0:21:44After that right royal ransacking of the Ardingly market stalls,
0:21:44 > 0:21:48our two infamous antiques assassins must now face their next challenge,
0:21:48 > 0:21:49selling the lot.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53They'll be battling to make the biggest profit on each item
0:21:53 > 0:21:56and all the money made will go to their chosen charities.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59So our heroes head home to plan their campaigns,
0:21:59 > 0:22:04the Charmer taking the road to his rural idyll in Oxfordshire,
0:22:04 > 0:22:09and Katherine The Great escaping to her chic apartment in our cosmopolitan capital.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Once they've unloaded their swag bags,
0:22:13 > 0:22:16Charlie starts by assessing his hefty haul.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20I love my weather vane with a golfer on top.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23If I can't sell that to a golf club, who can I sell it to?
0:22:23 > 0:22:27And my biscuit barrel is as good a quality biscuit barrel
0:22:27 > 0:22:30as I've ever seen. Shouldn't be a problem.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I bought two pieces of Sorrento ware
0:22:33 > 0:22:37which I can sell to an Italian dealer like that which is great.
0:22:37 > 0:22:43I bought a golf spoon with Shirley Golf Club on it.
0:22:43 > 0:22:47I have been in touch with Shirley Golf Club
0:22:47 > 0:22:50and Shirley it won't be a problem to sell it.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I bought the shop's bell. The shop's bell, again, easy to sell.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58I know just the man for that. He has a shop and he has no bell.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01And the golfing game I bought because it was fun
0:23:01 > 0:23:02and it'll be fun to sell it.
0:23:03 > 0:23:08The Charmer will also have to sell his lockable whisky decanter
0:23:08 > 0:23:09and rare silver bookmark.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12Probably bought too many things
0:23:12 > 0:23:16but if they all have a profit in them, who's to worry?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19Katherine The Great is also evaluating
0:23:19 > 0:23:22her inventory of valuables.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25What I did buy was good. Cheap but good.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28I bough three pairs of stockings. Lovely post-war stockings.
0:23:28 > 0:23:32I've got ideas about those going to a really glamorous girl.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34When I opened that box with the Dior hat in it,
0:23:34 > 0:23:37I just didn't know how good it was going to be.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38It has to go to a vintage fashion dealer.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42The compact, it was the best of the best.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Kigu, top make, again a vintage fashion specialist would love it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Remember those prints? Full of British history.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Nelson, Byron, Jane Austen, you can't get better than that
0:23:52 > 0:23:56so I need to find somewhere that has an association
0:23:56 > 0:23:59with those three people. And finally that corner cupboard.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01I've got a friend who's got a space
0:24:01 > 0:24:04and when a friend's got a space, I've just got to fill it.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08And Katherine will also have to shift to two pieces of Maltese lace.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12So, with weapons primed and at the ready,
0:24:12 > 0:24:16our dandy dealers prepare to ride out.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19They're ploughing through the pages of their contacts books to stand
0:24:19 > 0:24:22and deliver the best buyers for all their items.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25But until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands,
0:24:25 > 0:24:27no deal is truly sealed.
0:24:28 > 0:24:33And in this cross country dash to dispense the spoils,
0:24:33 > 0:24:37Charlie the Charmer is first to saddle up and take to the road.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39I'm going to Studley Wood Golf Course.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41And I'm going to see Ken, who has let me know
0:24:41 > 0:24:45that he's really quite interested in the weather vane.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Ken's told Charlie that the weather vane might make a good addition
0:24:48 > 0:24:53to the club's halfway house but first, Charlie needs to find it.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01I've landed in the bunker!
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Ah! There she is!
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Ken!- Hi, Charlie.- How are you doing?- Very well, thank you.- Good.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18You don't have a weather vane on top of here?
0:25:18 > 0:25:21- No, we don't.- So why would it be particularly good up here?
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Well, it's the 11th hole here, Charlie,
0:25:24 > 0:25:26and it's across water, a par three.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28And it's good to know where the wind's coming from.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31- I see, so you know which club to take.- Yeah, yeah.
0:25:31 > 0:25:36- Well, I'd like about 100 quid for it, really.- I'm sure you would.
0:25:36 > 0:25:40- I think we're quite a long way out on that.- Where do you see it?
0:25:40 > 0:25:43- About 40 quid.- What?! - I mean, it's not, it's not...
0:25:43 > 0:25:4640 quid...
0:25:46 > 0:25:48What about 80 quid?
0:25:48 > 0:25:53- If you put it up for us. Is that all right?- Ha-ha!
0:25:53 > 0:25:57- Oh, dear. I tell you what, 75 quid and you can put it up yourself!- OK!
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- Is that all right?- That's a deal!
0:26:00 > 0:26:06So Charlie swings in with the first profit, £45, that's well above par.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10The Charmer's off to a great start
0:26:10 > 0:26:13and he trundles away to celebrate his victory.
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Our stylish siren, Katherine, means business, too.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21She's headed for a vintage fashion Fair in London
0:26:21 > 0:26:26with two of her glamorous items, the hat and the compact.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28With the fair in full swing,
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Katherine's going to try and tempt dealer, Emma,
0:26:31 > 0:26:33with the compact she bought for £5.
0:26:33 > 0:26:38So I was thinking about 30 to 35 but I appreciate you've got to make it work for you.
0:26:38 > 0:26:41I would be happy to offer you £20 for it.
0:26:41 > 0:26:44- I think £20 would be really, would be great.- Excellent.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- Thank you very much indeed.- Perfect.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53So our lady kicks off with a golden profit of £15.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Charlie is heading to Bedfordshire to an Italian restaurant
0:27:03 > 0:27:06where he's arranged to meet Barry.
0:27:06 > 0:27:10- Barry, how are you?- Not bad, Charlie, not bad at all.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14With Barry's help, Charlie's hoping to sell his two pieces
0:27:14 > 0:27:16of Sorrento ware over the phone to Paulo in Italy.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19He's already emailed him some photos
0:27:19 > 0:27:22and now he's able to make him an offer he can't refuse.
0:27:22 > 0:27:28Quattro cinquante por the two pieces. Le due.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Mamma mia? Ha, that's a song.
0:27:30 > 0:27:37I tell you what, 250 for the mirror, 150 the desk stand,
0:27:37 > 0:27:41which makes quattro for the two.
0:27:41 > 0:27:42Quattro?
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah, bellissimo!
0:27:44 > 0:27:47- 400, the two.- Excellent, Charlie.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Cheers, thanks a lot. Cheers.
0:27:50 > 0:27:53Grande profitto! Bellissimo!
0:27:57 > 0:27:59Yes, a grand profit indeed.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03Charlie's made £60 on the Italian desk stand,
0:28:03 > 0:28:07as well as a very handsome profit of £160 on the Sorrento mirror.
0:28:10 > 0:28:15At the vintage fashion fair in London, Katherine is aiming
0:28:15 > 0:28:17to sell her designer hat.
0:28:17 > 0:28:21And she's picked out stall holder, Samaya, as the perfect target.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Clearly I'm in the right place because hats are your thing.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29This will fit in perfectly. It's very glamorous.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31Because hats are back in fashion, aren't they?
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I think we're becoming more daring as a nation,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36especially with vintage being such a strong theme.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40I love it. I love these padded quilted bits round the sides.
0:28:40 > 0:28:47Price-wise, I'm thinking round about the £100 mark would be about fair.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- I was thinking more 80 to 90. - 90 sounds good.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52I was going to say "Let's hover about the 90 pound mark."
0:28:52 > 0:28:56That sounds ideal for me. Perfect. Deal done. Lovely.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01So, the Great One heads off with a huge profit
0:29:01 > 0:29:03from her £5 bargain of £85.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08Charlie, I don't think you'll beat that.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Both our ruthless profiteers are racing along
0:29:13 > 0:29:16and the Charmer is back in his home county of Oxfordshire
0:29:16 > 0:29:21where he's tracked down the ideal place to try and sell his shop bell.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24Tony!
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Tony!
0:29:28 > 0:29:30To-ony!
0:29:36 > 0:29:40- Ah-ha-ha-ha!- Charlie, how are you? Nice to see you.- Nice to see you.
0:29:40 > 0:29:41What do you need?
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Look! Otherwise I could have come in here and taken six pairs of trousers,
0:29:47 > 0:29:51disappeared outside the door. When I bought it, I thought of you.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54- Well, that's very kind of year. - I couldn't think of anybody else.
0:29:54 > 0:29:57- What are you asking for it? - 100 quid.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- Don't you think it's worth that? - What about 70?
0:30:00 > 0:30:01Well, what ABOUT 70?
0:30:01 > 0:30:05It's not enough is the answer to that! I would sell it to you.
0:30:05 > 0:30:10- I'll do one last offer. 80 quid. - Meet you half way - £75.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Oh, you rotter, I've already come down £20. Oh, all right.
0:30:13 > 0:30:16- Wonderful, thank you, Charlie. - That's wonderful.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20That sartorial sale leaves Charlie a resounding profit
0:30:20 > 0:30:23of £35 ringing in his ears.
0:30:23 > 0:30:29Both our dastardly Dick Turpins of the antiques trade have started off well.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32So far, Charlie has galloped away with four items sold
0:30:32 > 0:30:36and he's grabbed a profit of £300.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39While Katherine has made two sales at the midway stage
0:30:39 > 0:30:43and is trailing the Charmer with a profit of £100.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Both our antiques outlaws have four sales left to make.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52Katherine The Great saddles up with her vintage stockings,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55and rides off to an appointment at a burlesque club.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59She's hoping performer Kitten won't be able to resist them.
0:31:07 > 0:31:11Waaaay! Fantastic. Spectacular, you are spectacular.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Look at you. That was every inch of perfection.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19In performance, you're wearing a lot of vintage style things,
0:31:19 > 0:31:21but do you actually wear vintage pieces?
0:31:21 > 0:31:24I wear 1940s and 1950s vintage and repro all the time
0:31:24 > 0:31:26so whenever I'm at World War Two events,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29I love wearing seamed stockings. Getting the real thing, I mean,
0:31:29 > 0:31:32who wouldn't want to actually wear the proper vintage stockings?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35These are gorgeous. I adore them.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37I think you will enjoy these tremendously
0:31:37 > 0:31:41- and I'd love you to have them. - I would love to have them.
0:31:41 > 0:31:48Excellent. Price-wise, I was thinking around about £7 a pair.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Would you mind taking £20 for the three?
0:31:51 > 0:31:5620 sounds fine. I think that would...I'd shake on that.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58I'll do a deal on that.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01So it's a rip-roaring profit of £15.50
0:32:01 > 0:32:04and the Great One is in the mood to strut her stuff.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10A bit of profit and I'm all aflutter with excitement.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Ding Dong!
0:32:13 > 0:32:17And so we leave Katherine to brush up on her burlesque skills.
0:32:21 > 0:32:22Because, in Oxfordshire,
0:32:22 > 0:32:25the Charmer is heading to his friend Paul's house,
0:32:25 > 0:32:27armed with his whisky decanter.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29But there's been a slight hitch.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Well, I'd like to say that here we have my lockable decanter,
0:32:33 > 0:32:37except since buying it, I've realised it doesn't lock. Ha-ha!
0:32:37 > 0:32:39- How are you, chap? - Charlie, how are you?!
0:32:39 > 0:32:42- Very well indeed.- Good to see you. Sorry about the weather.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44Look!
0:32:44 > 0:32:46- Crikey.- Isn't that fun?
0:32:46 > 0:32:48- That's fantastic. A lockable decanter.- Yeah.
0:32:48 > 0:32:53It's got a patent number on it from 1925. So it's nearly 100 years old.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56It has got a problem. It's actually not working at the moment.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01I thought it was working, but I have taken it to a delightful chap
0:33:01 > 0:33:05who can repair the spring. He had a look at it and he said it's gone in there.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07It's not a problem, it's a very easy job to do.
0:33:07 > 0:33:10So I've asked him how much it's going to cost.
0:33:10 > 0:33:13He said it would cost 25 quid to do it.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15So you could either have it as it is...
0:33:15 > 0:33:19- Right.- ..or you could have the inclusive package, sir.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21You know me, inclusive package.
0:33:21 > 0:33:27Well, restored, polished and full of brandy, 150 quid.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31I was thinking something between £75 and £100, something like that.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33What?!
0:33:33 > 0:33:35130 quid.
0:33:35 > 0:33:39I tell you what I'll do, you mend that, fill it with brandy
0:33:39 > 0:33:42when you bring it back and I'll do 125 quid.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43What do you reckon?
0:33:43 > 0:33:45I tell you what,
0:33:45 > 0:33:49I will do it for 125 quid, polished,
0:33:49 > 0:33:51lock repaired,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54no brandy.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57- You provide the brandy when I bring it round.- Oh, all right. 125.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59Ha-ha-ha!
0:33:59 > 0:34:03So the Charmer's profit is just £25 after taking into account
0:34:03 > 0:34:06the 25 pound repair fee to the decanter lock.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09Bad luck there, Charlie, old bean.
0:34:09 > 0:34:14We find the Great One back in the Surrey town where she spent her formative years.
0:34:14 > 0:34:17She's come to try and sell her Jane Austen novel
0:34:17 > 0:34:20and three prints to hotel manager, Jeremy.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24- Various illustrious names stayed here.- Absolutely.- Who did?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Oh, who hasn't? We've had Lord Byron,
0:34:27 > 0:34:29we've had Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, throughout the time.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32- You mentioned Byron. - Yes, absolutely.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35So that a big tick in the box with that one.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- And I've brought you two Nelson images here.- Ah, fabulous.
0:34:39 > 0:34:41The other thing I found you was a first edition,
0:34:41 > 0:34:45a first post-war edition of Mansfield Park. It's really nice, it's by Dent.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- There's a link with Jane Austen, isn't there?- Yes, of course there is.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Did she stay here at some point?
0:34:50 > 0:34:52She did. We believe she stayed here several times.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Yes, that's a lovely link with the hotel.- Wonderful. OK.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- I suppose it's down to price, isn't it?- I suppose so.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02I was thinking in the region of, each print,
0:35:02 > 0:35:05sort of 50 to £70, something like that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09- OK.- And the first edition, 20 or so pounds, something like that.- OK.
0:35:09 > 0:35:14- So what does my maths do on that? That is about...- £170.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17- That's why he's the general manager. - Sounds good to me.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20- Thank you, Jeremy, wonderful. - Thank you very much.
0:35:20 > 0:35:24After deducting framing costs, it's a very Austen-tatious profit
0:35:24 > 0:35:28of just over £125 for our rollicking redhead.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31But what of our tweedy titan of the trade?
0:35:31 > 0:35:35He's made for his friend Philip's house with his table golf game.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38- Good to see you, old boy. - It's your lucky day.- Really?
0:35:38 > 0:35:40But as Philip is an ex-dealer,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42this could be a tough sale for the Charmer.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46This is for you and your wife to practise at home.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49You could fine-tune your swing with this.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52It's got some rather amusing clubs. It's a bizarre thing though.
0:35:52 > 0:35:55Let's have a quick look at it on the floor.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58That's supposed to be a bunker, you see.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01There's the hole you're supposed to go into.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04What I think you have to do is hit it over this one,
0:36:04 > 0:36:08- through that one, and into the hole. Shall we have a competition?- Yes, OK.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Oh, nearly!
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Oh, it's pathetic!
0:36:16 > 0:36:17Yay!
0:36:19 > 0:36:22- Ah! Oh!- Fraud!
0:36:22 > 0:36:24It a bit of a lark, isn't it?
0:36:24 > 0:36:27It's quite fun. I was hoping to sell it to you.
0:36:27 > 0:36:30I thought 50 quid as a nice collectible object.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34- What do you think?- Well, I think 30 would be a good goer on that.
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Could you meet me halfway? Make it 40 quid.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41I'll tell you what, for old time's sake, yes.
0:36:41 > 0:36:43All for old time's sake!
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Cor, that was hard work. I tell you what, let's have another go.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- See if I can do a hole-in-one. - Yes, absolutely.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52A hole in one might be a tall order for the Charmer
0:36:52 > 0:36:55but he has snatched a profit of £15.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57What a relief.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03For her next sale, Katherine is encroaching on Charlie's territory.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07The world of fine furniture. She's been persuading her friend, Sheila,
0:37:07 > 0:37:11that the corner cabinet she purchased for £40 would make the perfect addition to her home.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Great. Sold. Thank you.
0:37:14 > 0:37:20And so the Great One gets a result and a smashing profit of £160.
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Watch out, Charlie Ross.
0:37:23 > 0:37:27Not that he appears worried because the Charmer is on a mission.
0:37:27 > 0:37:31He's trekking his way through the snowy Northamptonshire countryside
0:37:31 > 0:37:34as he reckons his biscuit barrel could be just the thing
0:37:34 > 0:37:36for restaurateur, Helen.
0:37:37 > 0:37:39Sadly, Helen is not well,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43but she's got a friend who is going to negotiate on her behalf.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45So anything could happen.
0:37:46 > 0:37:50- And how are you?- Good morning! - Look what I've brought for you.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Helen has actually seen the biscuit barrel and said,
0:37:53 > 0:37:56"Ooh, I do like that," so that's quite promising.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59But what I don't know is what she's prepared to pay for it.
0:37:59 > 0:38:03- I'd like £150 for it.- Well, it's very nice. It is a lovely thing.
0:38:03 > 0:38:07- I WAS hoping to get it for less than that, as you might imagine.- Try me.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11- I'm a reasonable man. - Can we start at 90?- Start?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14- It COST more than £90.- OK.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16And I'm no good at making a loss.
0:38:16 > 0:38:21- What about 10% off, as she's such a good friend. £135?- 135.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25115.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29- You are a bargainer, aren't you?- Ha-ha!
0:38:29 > 0:38:30£125.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33Make it £120 and we've got a deal.
0:38:33 > 0:38:39I'll sell it to, for Helen, for £120 as long as you promise to tell me
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- how much she was prepared to go up to.- OK.- £120.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- Shake on it.- It's a deal. Thanks, Charlie.
0:38:45 > 0:38:49- And what would she have paid? - £120.- Oh, really?- Yes!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51HE CHUCKLES I've won!
0:38:51 > 0:38:56Yes, a tasty profit of £25 for the victorious Charmer.
0:39:00 > 0:39:03And he goes on to sell his rare silver bookmark
0:39:03 > 0:39:07to a London silver dealer for an impressive profit of £100.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Sterling work.
0:39:09 > 0:39:13# I can't play the guitar, I can't play the guitar
0:39:13 > 0:39:17# But I can make some profits, some profits tonight
0:39:17 > 0:39:19# Yeah. #
0:39:19 > 0:39:23Is there no end to the man's talents? Hmm?
0:39:23 > 0:39:26The Charmer's got just one item left to shift,
0:39:26 > 0:39:30the silver Shirley Golf Club spoon, which he sells to the club president
0:39:30 > 0:39:33for a double-your-money profit of £30.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38With Charlie's deals all done and dusted,
0:39:38 > 0:39:41the Great One's still got her final sale left to make,
0:39:41 > 0:39:43the two pieces of Maltese lace.
0:39:43 > 0:39:47But she's had a bit of bad luck.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50My dog, Daisy, is in the doghouse,
0:39:50 > 0:39:55and the reason is because this is the remainder,
0:39:55 > 0:39:58the fragments of Maltese lace.
0:39:58 > 0:40:04She ate probably 90% of it. I now no longer have any Maltese lace to sell.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07Dog ate your homework, Catherine? That's ruff.
0:40:07 > 0:40:13Go to the bottom of the class and take a loss of £16 with you.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16So, has Katherine's faithful friend ruined her chances
0:40:16 > 0:40:19in this close run race?
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Has Charlie done enough to win? Let's find out.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Both our booty snatchers had £750 of their own money
0:40:29 > 0:40:31to spend at the antiques market.
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Charlie 'the Charmer' Ross made nine purchases
0:40:34 > 0:40:38and spent a substantial £675.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Katherine 'The Great' Higgins bought six items
0:40:41 > 0:40:45but had a much lower total spend of £115.47,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48including restoration fees.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51But all that matters from now on is profit.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53All the money that Katherine and Charlie have made
0:40:53 > 0:40:57from today's challenge will be going to charities of their choice
0:40:57 > 0:40:58so without further ado,
0:40:58 > 0:41:00it's time to find out who is today's
0:41:00 > 0:41:04Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06- You're still smiling. - I am. I'm quite tired.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- After covering all those miles!- I know.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I walked up and down, up and down, through fields,
0:41:12 > 0:41:13but I got the great buys.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16You did buy that GHASTLY corner cupboard.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20Do you know, I thought a lot of you up until that moment.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Do you know, I think it had tremendous merit.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26- It's a stylish piece.- I've got a new name for you.- Style girl?
0:41:26 > 0:41:31- Chipboard Higgins. - So not true, SO not true!
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Ooh, I got quite a lot of profit out of my Sorrento ware.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- Ah, Italy, Italy!- Italiano, si!
0:41:39 > 0:41:42Very good. And a weather vane. Do you know where my weather vane is now?
0:41:42 > 0:41:45I just hope you got rid of that rust on it.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47No, they're going to do that themselves.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50You don't want to overdo the work, you know.
0:41:50 > 0:41:55Anyway, it's ended up on the halfway house at Studley Wood Golf Club,
0:41:55 > 0:41:59- so every time I play golf there, I can look up at my weather vane. - Fantastic.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03And admire my thumping great profits, Miss Higgins.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- Hang on a minute. OK, I'm ready for it.- Are you ready for this one?
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- Yes.- Shall we?- I think so. - Are you confident?- I...
0:42:10 > 0:42:13- No, I'm not, actually. Maybe. - That's a very unlike you.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- I'm bubbling over with confidence. - Let's see. OK.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18Go.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20- Good grief!- Oh, no!
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Men power!
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Ho-ho!- Do you know, it's so close, it's barely recognisable.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30- Might not be to you, dear. - Three, four, what's the difference? Same thing.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33So it's been a close-run race but it's Charlie the Charmer
0:42:33 > 0:42:34who's come out on top.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36Ha-ha-ha, Higgins!
0:42:36 > 0:42:40You've had your comeuppance for only spending tuppence.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44If you don't spend money, you can't win.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I know I spent a lot but I also made a good profit.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51So, Miss Higgins, one to Roscoe.
0:42:51 > 0:42:55It's always been my game plan to let Charlie win just one little thing,
0:42:55 > 0:42:59and he did it today. He did it very well.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01You know, I only spent £100 or so, so, I mean,
