0:00:13 > 0:00:16And, gives you the insider's view of the trade.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19You've got to be in it to win it.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20Each week one pair
0:00:20 > 0:00:23of duelling dealers will face a different and daily challenge.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25Lovely!
0:00:25 > 0:00:26We've got some work to do.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Putting their own money, and their hard earned reputations on the line.
0:00:30 > 0:00:31Oh...
0:00:31 > 0:00:35As they see who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:36 > 0:00:37Get in there!
0:00:39 > 0:00:44Today's bargain bus stop pitches the winning wisdom of Jonty Hearnden
0:00:44 > 0:00:47against the dulcet determination of Catherine Southern
0:00:47 > 0:00:50in an antiques' market in Paris.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Coming up... The exceptional expense exasperates our experts.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59Honestly, these prices are incredible.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Jonty jaunty shows his sense of style.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04If I walk down the street, what do you think?
0:01:04 > 0:01:08And Catherine gets well and truly put in her place.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I'm asking for 70 on them, correct me if I'm wrong?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13You are wrong, but thank you for offering.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Flexing their dealing muscles today,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35two of the country's most experienced antiques' athletes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38Finely honed and toned, they're ready to jump into action
0:01:38 > 0:01:42and push all the way through to the finish line.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46First up, a woman with as much grace as she has grit.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50A dogged dealer whose bark is nowhere near as bad as her bite!
0:01:50 > 0:01:53It's "Cunning" Catherine Southon.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56I am going to find some great things here.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59And today, she faces one of the masters of the trade,
0:01:59 > 0:02:02always calm, always collecting,
0:02:02 > 0:02:05it's Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09I'm determined to really, really nail Catherine.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13And, there's a completely different feel to today's contest.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18It's a foreign affair. Our canny connoisseurs are packing their punches in Paris
0:02:18 > 0:02:21at the Oberkampf market, right in the heart of the city.
0:02:21 > 0:02:26They've each taken £750 worth of euros to spend
0:02:26 > 0:02:31and all the profit they make from their purchases will go to the charities of their choice.
0:02:31 > 0:02:32Jonty Hearnden
0:02:32 > 0:02:35and Catherine Southon, Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39- Bonjour, Jonty.- Bonjour. How are you?
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Very well, thank you. Very excited.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Welcome to, not so sunny Paris.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- Not so sunny but full of great potential, I think.- I know.
0:02:46 > 0:02:52- I know that we've got what £750 to spend.- 750.- Up to £750.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Are you going to spend lots?
0:02:55 > 0:03:00Erm, I'd like to find French items that are difficult to find back home.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03Often they tend to be 20th century French items,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05so a lot of glass, for instance.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08That's my plan! I'm going to buy early 20th century decorative items.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11- Are you now?- We've got a bit of a war on, I think.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13- See you later.- Good luck, Jonty.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16Yes, our premium payer might look right at home in Paris,
0:03:16 > 0:03:20but how comfortable will they be once they've got down to business.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25After just a few minutes, Cunning Catherine is in her element.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29My eyes are going everywhere because I can see things jumping out at me,
0:03:29 > 0:03:34left, right and centre. This is feeling very good.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39It's safe to say that Catherine Southon is seriously excited.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43This is going to be a cracking contest.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Jonty, on the other hand, is taking everything in his stride
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and he's quietly confident.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51We're right in the heart of Paris.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54So, I'm not expecting to find great bargains.
0:03:54 > 0:03:59I'm just looking for those items that are great translations back in the UK.
0:03:59 > 0:04:01So those items that are really quite difficult to find.
0:04:01 > 0:04:06Our bargain beagles are both nosing around for 20th century collectables
0:04:06 > 0:04:09and this is the perfect place to be.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12It's packed with all sorts of impeccable items.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14C'est bonne. Oui?
0:04:14 > 0:04:17And it's eagle-eyed Jonty who swoops first.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21I really quite like the look of this teapot
0:04:21 > 0:04:24and matching sugar bowl.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27They're bright, colourful, 1960s,
0:04:27 > 0:04:31the sort of thing that can translate back in the UK.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33It's 20th century.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37What's so nice about it is we've a really nice French makers stamp
0:04:37 > 0:04:39on the underside of this teapot.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43The most important thing that teapots like this have to be in really good condition.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46So have a look around the inside of the lid
0:04:46 > 0:04:49and have a look around the spout is where you get chips.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54At ten euros, that's nine quid, there has to be a profit there somewhere.
0:04:54 > 0:04:58But, will Jonty simply accept the marked price?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01Oh no, he uses all his charm to wangle a deal
0:05:01 > 0:05:03out of the French stallholder.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07That Hitman Hearnden is a one man, wheeling dealing machine.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10There you go, I did a bit of haggling with the stall holder
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and I did get my teapot and sugar bowl, which is of course wrapped up
0:05:14 > 0:05:18in the obligatory champagne bucket,
0:05:18 > 0:05:22which came within the ten euros price.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26So I've got two purchases for ten euros, nine quid.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Bargain, bargain, bargain.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34To be precise, the euro conversion is actually £9.09.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39With two first-rate contenders like Jonty and Catherine, every penny counts.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41So, The Hitman's off the mark,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44but our ladybird of prey could be about to swoop on a target.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47She's found a couple of wooden biscuit moulds.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I like something a bit unusual.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53They're basically... You put the mixture, the pastry,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55the biscuit in here.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58I'm just wondering, they're not very deep but they're quite decorative.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03- C'est combien?- Quarante et quarante. - Non, monsieur.
0:06:03 > 0:06:0740 euros each, our Cunning lass is having none of that.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Oui... Soixante?
0:06:09 > 0:06:11She goes in at 60 for the pair.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- Hey...- No.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Mon ami, mon ami.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21And then tries to butter up the vendor with some friendly French.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23I think they're too...
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- Soixante? Oui? Soixante?- OK.- Voila!
0:06:27 > 0:06:30And she's managed it, a quarter of the price knocked off.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32The final cost £54.55.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37I've never seen anything quite like them.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41I think they're going to make me a very tasty profit.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45This battle's just begun and already both our daring dealers
0:06:45 > 0:06:48have picked up a French fancy
0:06:48 > 0:06:52but then it's all change and the early buying frenzy grinds to a halt.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56The Hitman and our Cunning queen can't seem to pin down purchase number two.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00# You've got me running Going out of my mind
0:07:00 > 0:07:04# You've got me thinking that I'm wasting my time
0:07:04 > 0:07:06# Don't bring me down... #
0:07:06 > 0:07:08This is an old spirit level.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12Of course, something like this can translate back home.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14But not when it's 75 euros.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18I know what I want but I just can't find it.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20Catherine started the day all excited
0:07:20 > 0:07:23but all this wandering around has stolen her sparkle.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27I've only bought one item and I'm getting really concerned about this now
0:07:27 > 0:07:31because I'm not seeing anything at all.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I'm going to go down there because it's really bustling down there
0:07:34 > 0:07:38and I'm hoping that I might find some magical items.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And she's heading in the right direction for the magic.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45A short time later she conjures up a wooden box.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46Qu-est-ce que c'est?
0:07:46 > 0:07:48C'est pour les chaussures.
0:07:48 > 0:07:52For your shoes, like shoe polishing.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58- So you put your polish and brushes?- Brush.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01C'est combien?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- Quarante-cinq. - Oh! Quarante-cinq, c'est trop cher!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Catherine thinks 45 euros is a bit toppy
0:08:08 > 0:08:12so our golden girl hits with a heavy haggle and get a chunky discount.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16I'm buying a box with woodworm for 30 euros.
0:08:16 > 0:08:19I've got no idea, at all, what I'm going to do with it
0:08:19 > 0:08:22but this is called desperation en Paris.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Vingt-huit?
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Never one to accept anybody's best price,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Cunning Catherine tries to knock off another couple of euros.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- OK.- Vingt-huit?- Vingt-huit.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- Mon amie, ma amie? Mon amie? - Mon amie.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Ma cherie.- Non!
0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yeah, go easy with the language of love, Catherine.
0:08:45 > 0:08:47In the end, our lady buys the shoe shine box
0:08:47 > 0:08:50for a rock bottom price of £25.45.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Why did I buy this?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55No idea, whatsoever.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- FRENCH ACCENT:- And as the heady mix of je ne sais crois plays havoc
0:08:59 > 0:09:05with Catherine's head, Monsieur Hearnden is being manly and taking on fuel.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09A bite of a croissant, some fabulous French coffee. It's so nice here.
0:09:09 > 0:09:13And the extra sustenance helps straightaway.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The Hitman discovers reams of retro advertisements.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20A lot of these have literally been cut out of magazines and mounted on card.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23They have a great presentation feel.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28These sorts of adverts would look fantastic on a wall in a cafe.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I've sold to clients before like this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I've almost like purchased these to order.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37These are the sorts of things that you just can't buy in the UK.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39You have to come to France to buy these sorts of things.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43I'm looking at the price tag and they're all around ten euros.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Now I regard that as good value for money.
0:09:46 > 0:09:51The price may be right but our Hitman always has to try and knock it down a little bit more.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56I'm determined, this time around, to really, really nail Catherine.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59Fighting talk and that's what we're here for.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02Jonty picks up his favourite six and does a deal.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I've bought them for 50 euros. That's the price I wanted to pay.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07He accepted straightaway.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10When that happens, you just wished you gone a bit lower.
0:10:10 > 0:10:16Missed a trick there, Hitman, the conversion into sterling £45.45.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Across the market, Catherine's found a fruity little item,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21some cherry forks.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- How much is it?- 15.
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- I think that's quite fun. - It's funny, isn't it?
0:10:31 > 0:10:35- How old you think it is? '70s, do you think? - Yes, I think it's from the '70s.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39It's quite kitsch, isn't it? Can you take ten euros?
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- All right?- Ten euros?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45It a bit of fun, isn't it? I wouldn't say I like it, but it caught my eye.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And she picks up the forks for £9.09.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52This is going to get someone very excited.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56They are going to have this on the bar and this is going to be a talking point.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58I can see big money from this.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04What a way to hit the halfway stage, relaxed, happy and confident.
0:11:04 > 0:11:05How long is that going to last?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Both our French fighters arrived in Paris with the euro equivalent
0:11:10 > 0:11:14of £750 of their own money.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Jonty The Hitman has made two purchases for just under £55,
0:11:18 > 0:11:22leaving him more than £695 to spend.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25But Cunning Catherine has edged out in front.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Three buys for just over £89,
0:11:28 > 0:11:31meaning there's almost £661 left in her kitty.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35As we roll into round two,
0:11:35 > 0:11:38both our bargain bruisers are freewheeling with French flair.
0:11:38 > 0:11:43Both supremely confident they'll batter their opponent into submission.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45This is Catherine putting on a brave face.
0:11:45 > 0:11:50Today's market has an impressive array of continental collectables, which has
0:11:50 > 0:11:51Catherine purring, but frustrated.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54There's some very nice things.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Very, very nice things but very, very pricey.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01Our trading Titans have both been focusing
0:12:01 > 0:12:05on 20th century decorative items and The Hitman is right on target
0:12:05 > 0:12:08with some silk scarves from the 1950s.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12So she's asking 30 euros which is just on the money, really.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16I like the fact that we've got a lovely French silk scarf
0:12:16 > 0:12:20and these are the sort of things that translate back home.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22I really like this one here.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24I don't think it's going to suit me.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28In fact, this is the thing that I should be selling to Catherine.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31One Hitman haggle later and he buys one and gets one free.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Two scarves for £27.27.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38I think... I might...
0:12:38 > 0:12:42Just walk down the street.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44What do you think? Yeah?
0:12:44 > 0:12:48The Parisian sense of fashion seems to be rubbing off on the Hitman
0:12:48 > 0:12:52and he's not the only one who's feeling all 'a la mode'.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55# Girls on film
0:12:55 > 0:12:57# Girls on film. #
0:12:59 > 0:13:02So they've both got the moves but it's The Hitman
0:13:02 > 0:13:06who walks the walk and sneaks ahead with a sudden fourth purchase,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10a pair of dog book ends that cost £22.73.
0:13:10 > 0:13:15They're probably made of beech. That's the soft timber that's very easy to carve.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Date wise, 1920s, 1930s. Nothing more than that.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22At home, they're very saleable because there are dog lovers in France,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24but there are dog lovers back home.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Well, let's hope so, Jonty. As The Hitman pushes ahead,
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Catherine has jumped off the catwalk and come straight to a standstill.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35Everything I'm picking up is broken.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39Losing quite a lot of mother of pearl. Merci beaucoup.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43- That's chipped.- Oui.- Oui.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Table croquet. It's not complete.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48Good for decor.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Yeah, but it's been relined. Broken, recovered.
0:13:53 > 0:13:56And, when you're struggling, what do you need?
0:13:56 > 0:14:00There you are, a rose amongst everyone here in Paris.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02How are you getting on?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I'd love to say that I'm doing brilliantly,
0:14:04 > 0:14:08but I'm actually struggling. It's tough. It's tough.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11I think, my problem is I'm enjoying myself in the market
0:14:11 > 0:14:15and just being nice and slow and easy and enjoying the ambience.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18I'm not really being productive.
0:14:18 > 0:14:22But, just moments later, Cunning Catherine
0:14:22 > 0:14:25navigates her way to a maritime marvel,
0:14:25 > 0:14:28two sets of parallel rules from the 1940s.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32The trader wants 60 euros for the rules.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37So, in typical Catherine style, she offers him just 25.
0:14:37 > 0:14:40Vingt-cinq?
0:14:40 > 0:14:43Vingt-cinq?
0:14:43 > 0:14:45Cinquante.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49- Cinquante?- 50. - No, that's too much.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52Too much. Can you come down a bit more?
0:14:52 > 0:14:5445.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56Best price.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57It's so expensive.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59A cheap price.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04No, cos they're not very old.
0:15:04 > 0:15:10- I mean, they're nice. They're sort of ebonised...- Older than you.- Well...
0:15:10 > 0:15:15Oh, a bit of French flattery, but will it work?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Honestly, these prices are incredible.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- This makes me cry.- Oh, no! I don't want that.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29Catherine can't give in without one final effort.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- 40? Come on.- Five.- 40?
0:15:31 > 0:15:33There you go.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36- Please?- 45.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38Thank you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43And after all that, it's 45 euros, or £40.91.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Thank you. And I'm going to take these.
0:15:46 > 0:15:47And they part friends.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49- Nice.- Sort of.
0:15:49 > 0:15:54He was not budging. That was really, really hard work.
0:15:54 > 0:15:58I cannot negotiate with these Parisians.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02They're so stuck on their price and they are not taking a penny less.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07Despite the game being evenly split on four items each,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10it's all getting a bit stressful for our lady in red.
0:16:10 > 0:16:14But across the market, Jonty is looking more laid back than ever.
0:16:14 > 0:16:18Having recently bumped into Catherine, I had no idea
0:16:18 > 0:16:22just how stressed she would have been in a market like this.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26She looked worried, which has kind of relaxed me even more.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29But there's one thing about our Catherine,
0:16:29 > 0:16:32she's a tenacious trader and she never gives up.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Bonjour.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35# Ain't nothing gonna break my stride
0:16:35 > 0:16:38# Nobody gonna slow me down
0:16:38 > 0:16:42# Oh no, I got to keep on movin'... #
0:16:42 > 0:16:46Been around. And coming round again.
0:16:46 > 0:16:49Salt and peppers in the form of owls.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54But they're in what one would call a poor condition.
0:16:54 > 0:17:00Quite poor quality. Not very nicely done. It's a shame. That's the sort of novelty thing I like.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Well, how about a silver-plated figure of a frog?
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- What is a frog in French? - Grenouille.- Grenouille.
0:17:08 > 0:17:10Grenouille.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Mmm, but she's not gone oui for the grenouille. And Catherine hops off.
0:17:15 > 0:17:20At a nearby stall, The Hitman has hit upon a 1960s vase.
0:17:20 > 0:17:25Can you see there's actually two or three layers of glass in there?
0:17:25 > 0:17:30For my money, that vase has to be made in Murano, so Venice.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33It's really very good quality.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36If you look at the underside, there's no scratches on it,
0:17:36 > 0:17:41so 19 euros, that is a really good price.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43He's excited about this one.
0:17:43 > 0:17:48The lady drops the price to 15 euros, that's £13.64.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50Jonty is chuffed to bits.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53That's spot on for me. I really like that.
0:17:53 > 0:17:58Really very nice quality indeed. So...another purchase.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01Just look at The Hitman, all pleased with himself.
0:18:01 > 0:18:07While Catherine continues to trawl the stalls, Jonty's laser beam focus locks on target once again.
0:18:07 > 0:18:11This time, it's on his first piece of furniture, a mirror.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14It's on a stool that is housed,
0:18:14 > 0:18:18is riddled with ladies clothing and accessories,
0:18:18 > 0:18:22which means there's a strong possibility that they might not
0:18:22 > 0:18:25really understand the true value of this mirror.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28# Here comes the mirror man... #
0:18:28 > 0:18:30Yes, he's a master strategist.
0:18:30 > 0:18:34He spots a weakness and hits where it hurts.
0:18:34 > 0:18:39- C'est combien?- Deux cent.- Deux cent.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43The man wants 200 euros. So out comes the pen and paper.
0:18:43 > 0:18:48My best price. Dernier prix. Pour moi, Cent cinquante.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Jonty offers 150.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Come on then, you tell me.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56The man comes right down to 160.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Jonty tries again with 155.
0:18:59 > 0:19:05At which point, the man refers up to his boss, his wife.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07She's a hard woman.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10They agree a price at 160.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- 160.- Tres difficile. OK?- Sold.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16I'm glad I wasn't dealing with the missus!
0:19:16 > 0:19:21The day's first non-20th century item and by far and away the most expensive so far.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25The mirror sets Jonty back £145.45.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29I just saw something that Jonty bought from a distance,
0:19:29 > 0:19:32which is this hideous carved mirror.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36I think he's as desperate as I am at the moment.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Don't hold back, Catherine. But The Hitman thinks he has struck gold.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43This is such a gorgeous mirror.
0:19:43 > 0:19:48It's 19th century, it's beautifully carved and it's in great condition.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50Take a look right down here,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53there is nothing that's broken on here at all.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56It's really deliciously clean and crisp.
0:19:56 > 0:20:03And the bevel mirror is the original mirror. And that too is in very, very good condition.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05Jonty wheels away, pleased as punch.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11And as the day draws to a close, two hours since her last purchase,
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Catherine makes a final find.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17It's a cast iron umbrella stand with a drip tray in the bottom.
0:20:17 > 0:20:22And this one has been enamelled. It's got the original enamel on.
0:20:22 > 0:20:27Normally, we'd want to get these for about 60-70... £60-£70.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I might just go and have a word with the stallholder
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and see how much he wants.
0:20:33 > 0:20:39And quick as a flash, she's back. But is it good news or bad?
0:20:39 > 0:20:44Well, I am now the proud owner of this umbrella stand,
0:20:44 > 0:20:48without all these bits and pieces, but I got him down to 70 euros.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51He was adamant he was having 80, but I got him down to 70.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So that in itself is an achievement.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58Whether I'm going to make any profit, that's another matter.
0:20:58 > 0:21:03The umbrella stand stands our lady at £63.64.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06And with that, both our bartering big shots call it a day.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10So with the whistle blown, let's see how things stand.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Both our bargain busters brought £750 worth of their own euros
0:21:15 > 0:21:16with them to Paris.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19The Hitman had a solid and steady day.
0:21:19 > 0:21:24He goes home with six items that cost him £263.63.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27And although she spent much of the day worrying,
0:21:27 > 0:21:33Cunning Catherine still picked up five pieces for £193.64.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36But it's profit that counts in this game.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40So who thinks they stand the best chance of some stellar selling?
0:21:40 > 0:21:44Last time I saw you, you had a bit of a worried look on your face.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47- You're smiling now. - I am smiling, Jonty.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- I'm happy actually with my purchases. - Firewood at the back here, explain.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54It is not firewood! It is a piece of French history.
0:21:54 > 0:22:00Something you'd find perhaps hanging up in a baker's or something like that, biscuit moulds.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Anyway, there's a bit of firewood down there.
0:22:02 > 0:22:03- What are they supposed to be? - Bookends.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Classy, Jonty, really classy.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07- HE LAUGHS - Thank you.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- My mirror, I'm very pleased with. - Yeah, that's another bit of firewood.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13NOTHING Beats my fantastic...
0:22:13 > 0:22:14That is class.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16This is class beyond belief.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17Isn't that wonderful?
0:22:17 > 0:22:21- No.- Don't you think it's fabulous?! I think it's fab!
0:22:21 > 0:22:26- I mean, come on, it's a bit of fun, isn't it? And for ten euros.- Bargain.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'm going to have a huge amount of fun selling my stuff.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33Not sure you are though. It's going to be pretty tricky, looking at that lot.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Yes, I know. And we've got to get it back, as well.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37I have no idea how we're going to get it back. My mirror...
0:22:37 > 0:22:41- Well, yeah.- Mmm. Might want to leave that one here, actually! - Enough!
0:22:43 > 0:22:47Cunning Catherine takes no prisoners giving The Hitman
0:22:47 > 0:22:51a psychological stripping down before the selling has even begun.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54But once back in Blighty the hard work really gets going.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58It's no longer about what you know but who you know
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and even then that might not even be enough.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Our vendetta-driven vendors must comb the entire country
0:23:05 > 0:23:08if necessary to find people who'll pay the very best price.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12In Oxfordshire our Hitman reveals he had a hard time hunting.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16There were so many things there that were really quite expensively priced,
0:23:16 > 0:23:19so you have to really delve deeply to find those bargains.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22But I have to say, I think I've got them.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I've got my retro here, I've got my bit of clothing here,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30I've got the set of prints, I've got my little bookends
0:23:30 > 0:23:34and if there's anybody that appreciates their pets
0:23:34 > 0:23:37and their animals it's the French and the Brits, and I am
0:23:37 > 0:23:40SO pleased with my mirror - what a find and what a purchase,
0:23:40 > 0:23:43I had no idea I could get it so cheaply.
0:23:43 > 0:23:46Jonty's clearly overjoyed with his purchases
0:23:46 > 0:23:49but Cunning Catherine couldn't be less impressed.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Those disgusting little doggy bookends that Jonty bought,
0:23:54 > 0:23:55what was he thinking of?!
0:23:55 > 0:24:00And that horrible, ghastly mirror. And he paid a lot of money for that.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03Now, come on, Catherine, tell us what you really think.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Jonty, I definitely bought the better items.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10I absolutely love these biscuit moulds.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12They're so unusual, something completely different
0:24:12 > 0:24:16and I'm sure I can have enormous fun selling these.
0:24:16 > 0:24:19I can make serious profit on these.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21The umbrella stand.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24It is quite ordinary and it is the sort of thing you'll find when
0:24:24 > 0:24:30you walk round most fairs, but this one is in good original condition.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32My parallel rulers I did pay quite a lot of money for but they are
0:24:32 > 0:24:36nice pieces and it was really hard to get the right price on that.
0:24:36 > 0:24:41Catherine's also selling her shoe shine box and cherry forks.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Like coiled springs our primed predators are ready to pounce.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49But until they've shaken on it and the money's changed hands,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53no deal is truly sealed, so it's time for the trading to commence.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57It's Jonty who launches into action first
0:24:57 > 0:24:59but then he hasn't got far to go.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03I've just left my home which is, what, 200 meters down the road that way.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06And I'm off to see Sid who's just opened up a tea shop
0:25:06 > 0:25:08just down the road from me
0:25:08 > 0:25:11and amongst many things in her shop is a row of teapots and I'm hoping
0:25:11 > 0:25:16she might want to buy one more so I've got my teapot and sugar bowl
0:25:16 > 0:25:19and my champagne bucket to see if I can see the whole lot.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25The Hitman paid a grand total of £9.09 for this little lot.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27And he looks like he's in luck.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Sid clearly likes her vintage cups, saucers and pots.
0:25:30 > 0:25:36- So, here's my teapot. Well, actually on closer inspection it's a coffee pot.- Yes, I would say that.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39And here I have my sugar bowl, as well. So it's all matching.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42- Beautiful.- There we go.- Lovely.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46So we have a nice little back stamp there which shows it's all nice and French.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Lovely colour. I love the colour as well.- You like the colour? - Yeah, it's great.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52- It is a bit of a retro colour. - It is, it's good.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55And I have from the same period, 1960s,
0:25:55 > 0:25:57a stainless steel champagne bucket.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00- So I need to sell the whole lot. - Yep, altogether?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02What about 35 for the whole lot?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- How about 30? I could probably manage 30.- 30 quid?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I'll tell you what, here's the deal, 30 quid,
0:26:07 > 0:26:09but one of your really special coffees.
0:26:09 > 0:26:12- OK! You're on. - And there you have it.
0:26:12 > 0:26:16The pots and champagne bucket bring in a bubbly profit of £20.91.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20The Hitman takes a caffeine hit to fire him up
0:26:20 > 0:26:22for some more superb sales,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25but Catherine has her own method of invigoration -
0:26:25 > 0:26:28a day trip to the Sussex coast.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32I've come along to the wonderful seaside town of Hastings with
0:26:32 > 0:26:37these two fabulous moulds which I absolutely adore, but I'm still not
0:26:37 > 0:26:43sure whether for chocolate or for biscuits, so I've come to see French
0:26:43 > 0:26:47pastry chef Michel who's going to enlighten me and hopefully buy them.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53The moulds cost nearly £55 so will Catherine taste sweet success.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57She catches Michel as he's baking biscuits.
0:27:01 > 0:27:05What do you think about these?
0:27:05 > 0:27:07- I have never seen that before. - Never seen them before?
0:27:07 > 0:27:09No.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12I don't know if they're biscuit moulds, chocolate moulds
0:27:12 > 0:27:16or what they are but I thought they were absolutely stunning.
0:27:16 > 0:27:20But they're quite shallow, aren't they? They're not very deep.
0:27:20 > 0:27:21No, they are not.
0:27:21 > 0:27:24So if you were putting a biscuit mixture in or perhaps
0:27:24 > 0:27:27a chocolate mixture in or something to set,
0:27:27 > 0:27:30you wouldn't be able to put in an awful lot of mixture.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32But do you think they're lovely?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33They are very, very nice, yes.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36I mean, it's not too cook, you wouldn't cook in this but you'd
0:27:36 > 0:27:39make the mixture, perhaps put flour or something in this, I don't know.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Why not try one?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45Try one? OK. Sounds good to me.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49Michel gives it a go with his left over biscuit mix. Catherine is getting him interested.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52What do you think? I think it looks quite nice.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Yes, it is very, very nice.
0:27:58 > 0:28:01But I just wonder what is it for?
0:28:01 > 0:28:06Now, are these something that you would possibly be interested in purchasing?
0:28:06 > 0:28:08Yes, it depends how much.
0:28:08 > 0:28:13I'll give you an idea of the sort of figure that I'm looking for and then you can decide.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Yes, then I can scratch my head.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19You can scratch your head and hopefully agree.
0:28:19 > 0:28:21OK, I'm looking fro £100 for these.
0:28:21 > 0:28:25£100. Yes, I would give £80.
0:28:25 > 0:28:26£80...OK.
0:28:26 > 0:28:29All right. Do you know what?
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I think £80 is absolutely fine
0:28:31 > 0:28:34because they are being sold to the right person.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36Oh, that's completely out of character.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38No haggling from Catherine.
0:28:38 > 0:28:40But why would she?
0:28:40 > 0:28:42The moulds instantly put her ahead of The Hitman with
0:28:42 > 0:28:44a profit of £25.45.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47So Jonty is playing catch-up, but never fear,
0:28:47 > 0:28:52he's the man with the plan and it involves his two silk scarves.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55He's gone into his local town of Wallingford to meet Paula who
0:28:55 > 0:28:57runs a vintage clothing business.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01Now, these I've just bought in a Parisian market.
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- So hopefully they'll be nice and exotic.- Very beautiful.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06- Very stylish.- Very lovely. - Do you like the colours there?
0:29:06 > 0:29:09I love the colours, I like the name. Paris, as well.
0:29:09 > 0:29:11- Absolutely.- And silk, of course.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14And it's also in very good condition, as well, I made sure of that.
0:29:14 > 0:29:16They look in very good condition too, yes.
0:29:16 > 0:29:18This is a wee bit different.
0:29:18 > 0:29:22Bianchini Ferier, that's a company that was based in Lyon.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27- Oh.- Over the recent years, so '60s, 70s, '80s,
0:29:27 > 0:29:31they were supplying silk scarves to the really big labels
0:29:31 > 0:29:35like Hermes, Louis Vuitton, etc.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38- Yes.- And as I'm sure you're aware, when it comes to fashion,
0:29:38 > 0:29:41often labels count as well.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43They do, they do and yes, I love it, it's absolutely gorgeous.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45- You like that one? - Yes, I do, I do.
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Shall we talk price? - Yes, what do you think?
0:29:48 > 0:29:51Well, I'm looking for £60 for the two.
0:29:51 > 0:29:57OK, yes, I can see what you think. I was looking more to about 50.
0:29:57 > 0:30:02- 50.- Yeah, £50, I'm happy with. - I won't argue with that.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- That's brilliant. - Paula, that's absolutely lovely. - Shall we shake on that?- Absolutely.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10Paula's pleased and Jonty banks a profit of £22.73.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13So, I see you've got a lot of ladies fashion here,
0:30:13 > 0:30:14have you got any gents?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I'm afraid not, but I've got something just for you, Jonty.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20You'll look absolutely gorgeous, they're we go!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Oh! A feather boa, look at that! What do you think?
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Absolutely gorgeous!
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Oh, yes, Hitman, very fetching.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Why don't you show it off to your adoring public?
0:30:29 > 0:30:32# Pretty woman, walking down the street
0:30:32 > 0:30:37# Pretty woman The kind I like to meet
0:30:37 > 0:30:39# Pretty woman... #
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Yes, probably best, Jonty. But Cunning Catherine is all dolled-up.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45She's hoping for a big night in London.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49She's got a date with Scott, the manager of a cocktail bar.
0:30:49 > 0:30:54But will she prong his interest with her £9 set of cocktail forks.
0:30:54 > 0:30:59Now, this is very kitsch, I have to warn you, and very Del Boy.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Don't you think that's a fab thing?
0:31:01 > 0:31:06It's a thing...yeah, interesting, good for sort of punches and that kind of stuff, I can see.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Not getting a huge amount of warmth.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11- No, no, I can picture... - Are you warming to it?
0:31:11 > 0:31:15I can picture it up on the bar. You know. And probably use it, we use a lot of our stuff.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18- We don't just have it on display. - Do you put cherries in cocktails.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20That's a very kind of '80s thing, isn't it?
0:31:20 > 0:31:23No, it's classic, classic Manhattan would have a cherry.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26We're looking to put our new cocktail list together
0:31:26 > 0:31:27so we'd probably find something!
0:31:27 > 0:31:29What kind of money are we talking?
0:31:29 > 0:31:31Oh, you're a hard negotiator.
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I don't mess around.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I don't mess around either so I'm going straight in with £50.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Yeah...bit rich, I'm thinking.
0:31:38 > 0:31:42How about £40 and a cocktail?
0:31:42 > 0:31:45Hmm, £40 and a cocktail...well,
0:31:45 > 0:31:47sounds quite good, actually,
0:31:47 > 0:31:50but £45 and a cocktail would be even better.
0:31:54 > 0:31:59- Go on then. - The cocktail forks do the business.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Cunning Catherine sells them for five times what she paid,
0:32:03 > 0:32:05pouring in a profit of £35.91
0:32:05 > 0:32:07and let's not forget that cocktail.
0:32:07 > 0:32:13Oh, that's powerful. Whoa! Very nice.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17So, before our lady ends up on the rocks,
0:32:17 > 0:32:19let's take a look at how the game is progressing.
0:32:19 > 0:32:24Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden has so far sold two of his six items
0:32:24 > 0:32:26and picked up a profit of £43.64.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31Cunning Catherine Southon has also notched up two sales
0:32:31 > 0:32:35and is leading the way in the profit stakes at £61.36.
0:32:37 > 0:32:40And Catherine wastes no time furthering her finances.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45She's back in the capital, this time in an upmarket arcade in Mayfair.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50She's hoping her shoeshine box scrubs up a good profit with resident shoe polisher Ronnie.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53- What do you think about this?- Wow.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55- SHE LAUGHS - Interesting.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57I can see you're very excited by it.
0:32:57 > 0:33:02I thought it would be great for all your polishes and your brushes
0:33:02 > 0:33:04and your liquids.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08I'd love to have it, it's just, I've got a few boxes myself.
0:33:08 > 0:33:12- What, like this?- Similar. - Oh, have you?
0:33:12 > 0:33:17Oh. Not good, is it?! That's not a good result.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Oh, Catherine takes a tumble with the shoeshine box.
0:33:20 > 0:33:23She'll just have to dig in and chase down another buyer.
0:33:23 > 0:33:28She needs to keep moving because Jonty is trying to sell his canine bookshelf accessories.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31Or as Catherine called them...
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Those disgusting, disgusting...
0:33:36 > 0:33:39..disgusting little doggy bookends.
0:33:39 > 0:33:44Hmm, she doesn't hold back, does she? It's a dog eat dog world.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48So is The Hitman barking up the wrong tree.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51He's at an antiques centre in Hungerford to meet dealer, Sue.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56# How much is that doggy in the window?
0:33:56 > 0:34:01# I do hope that doggy's for sale. #
0:34:01 > 0:34:05- They're quite interesting. - They're nice, aren't they?
0:34:05 > 0:34:07Yeah, they are. Scotty dogs, very popular.
0:34:07 > 0:34:11That's right, Highland terriers, as some people like to call them.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16We've got oak bases and the heads are probably beech I would imagine.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18- But they're a nice pair. - They are nice.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20They're nicely carved round the side.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23- Yes. All carved out of one piece. - Yes.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27They're quite nice, I quite like them. Scotty dogs are very popular.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32I sell a lot of Scotty dog brooches and all sorts, they're very popular.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35- You want a price? - Yes, how much?
0:34:35 > 0:34:39- I'm looking for £80. - Agh! No-no-no-no.- No?
0:34:39 > 0:34:43No, I couldn't do £80, no.
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Where are we going with these?
0:34:45 > 0:34:49- I was thinking more like 50. - 50?- Yeah.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51That's kind of different to 80.
0:34:51 > 0:34:55- Hmm, I know. - Erm...what about 70 then?
0:34:55 > 0:35:00- 60?- 60?- Yeah.- 60 quid. - Yeah. It's good.
0:35:00 > 0:35:02That's good.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05Yes, Jonty did know what he was doing, after all.
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Catherine is left feeling RUFF,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12and our Hitman scores a profit of £37.27.
0:35:14 > 0:35:16It's time for Catherine to regain the ground
0:35:16 > 0:35:18she lost on the shoeshine box.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21She's still slap-bang in the heart of Central London and has
0:35:21 > 0:35:25come to see Leon who deals in military and navigational antiques.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30She's brought him the parallel rules that cost almost £41,
0:35:30 > 0:35:32but will they measure up?
0:35:32 > 0:35:35They're quite nice, aren't they? Quite interesting pieces.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39Ebony and brass.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42And they're both stamped by the maker - Windsor and Newton.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45They made artists' materials and draughtsmen's materials.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47They did. They still do, I think.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50They're dated so they're certainly Second World War period.
0:35:50 > 0:35:52And that becomes World War Two memorabilia which is always
0:35:52 > 0:35:55- very saleable, very collectable. - Yep.- Big interest. Big interest.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59Well, I'll be honest with you, I did pay quite a bit for these.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Serves you right, Catherine.
0:36:01 > 0:36:04Thank you. And very kind of you!
0:36:04 > 0:36:07But I am asking for, which I think is quite reasonable -
0:36:07 > 0:36:10correct me if I'm wrong - I'm asking for 70 on them.
0:36:10 > 0:36:14You are wrong, but thank you for offering.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18- I'd be prepared to offer you 50 on those two.- 50.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Yeah, but that's really as good as it's going to get.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24- £50, you don't want to go up any more.- No, I don't, thank you! Thanks anyway.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26All right! I love your honesty, Leon.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Yes, Leon's a man who says it like it is,
0:36:29 > 0:36:33but Catherine still leaves with a profit of £9.09.
0:36:33 > 0:36:38While Catherine's gallivanting around London, The Hitman is keeping it local.
0:36:38 > 0:36:40He's just outside Oxford
0:36:40 > 0:36:43and is hoping for two sales rolled into one.
0:36:43 > 0:36:47I've got my really large mirror and my set of prints,
0:36:47 > 0:36:51because I've come here to this pub to meet the manager,
0:36:51 > 0:36:54because they have recently refurbished
0:36:54 > 0:36:57and they're looking for items to put on the wall.
0:36:57 > 0:37:03Jonty bough the mirror and retro drinks ads for a combined total of nearly £191.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06He's meeting Ollie and opens with the mirror.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08- What'd you think? - I think it's fantastic.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Well, what we're looking at here is a French oak frame mirror.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14It's about 100 years old.
0:37:14 > 0:37:19The great thing about French mirrors is they have these four side
0:37:19 > 0:37:20because a lot of British mirrors,
0:37:20 > 0:37:25particularly those that sit over fireplaces had one flat side
0:37:25 > 0:37:29- so they could literally stand on top of the mantle shelf.- OK.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33So it means that mirrors like this are much more versatile.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37The mirror is original and you've got these nice little bits
0:37:37 > 0:37:38of pitting here which gives it age.
0:37:38 > 0:37:43- A brand new mirror also looks like a brand new mirror.- Absolutely, yeah.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48A mirror like this tends to be a little bit more smoky which is great.
0:37:48 > 0:37:52I think it's a steal, and absolute steal cos I'm looking for 300 quid.
0:37:52 > 0:37:54- That is a genuine bargain.- Right.
0:37:54 > 0:37:57And The Hitman's not finished his sales pitch yet.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00He's also brought along his alcohol-themed prints.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02I just think they'll make a real great impact cos
0:38:02 > 0:38:04I like the simplicity of them.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08- Well, absolutely.- Do you like those?
0:38:08 > 0:38:11Certainly some of them, yes.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13- I want to sell them as a group though.- OK.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16When you say "some" you're worrying me.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19- I suppose for the right price.- OK.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Well, I'm looking for £15 a shot for those.- OK.
0:38:22 > 0:38:24And there's six of them There's six, yeah.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28So that would be...6 x 15...90 quid. So that's where I'm coming from for those cos
0:38:28 > 0:38:32they are genuine original prints so a lot of them are, give or take,
0:38:32 > 0:38:3550-years-old and they've got that nice retro feel about them, as well.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So, we've got those and the mirror.
0:38:38 > 0:38:44- OK.- So we're looking at 390 quid for the two of them.
0:38:44 > 0:38:48Right, OK. I'd probably go in a bit more like 340.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51Am I squeezing you a bit there?
0:38:51 > 0:38:55No, that's fine, I mean, I understand completely there. 340.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57What about 350?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02Yeah...I think I could stretch to 350, yeah.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Yes, that could be the winning blow.
0:39:05 > 0:39:08Jonty takes home a combined profit of £159.10.
0:39:08 > 0:39:12# I'm starting with the man in the mirror... #
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Cunning Catherine is having to roll with The Hitman's punches.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19She's taken her umbrella stand to a hotel in Blackheath
0:39:19 > 0:39:21and manager Ken is keen,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24but not to use the stand for brollies.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26The hotel has a golf-themed room
0:39:26 > 0:39:30and needs a display for a set of Victorian clubs.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33- Let's have a go. - You could sort of cross them.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36Bit of a mishmash and let's have a look at that.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43- That works for me. - Does it?- Yeah.- Good. Right, price.
0:39:43 > 0:39:45I'm looking for £150.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48In my head £120 I was probably more interested in paying.
0:39:48 > 0:39:51I think that's a fair price.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Well, not quite a hole in one but certainly a birdie.
0:39:54 > 0:39:59She flies away with a profit of £56.36,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02which brings us to the last item from the French market.
0:40:02 > 0:40:07It all comes down to this, the vase that cost Jonty £13.
0:40:07 > 0:40:12He's brought it to Berkshire to see Jo who has a penchant for coloured glass.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15# ...and it was a gas
0:40:15 > 0:40:18# Still turned out had a heart of glass... #
0:40:18 > 0:40:20- I love it!- D'you like it? - The colours are great.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23It's smaller than I thought but I think it's really lovely.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26And you've even got a sort of pinky hue to
0:40:26 > 0:40:28the colour of glass there, as well.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30But it's lovely the way you've got the blues
0:40:30 > 0:40:33- and the greens just coming through like that.- Yeah, I love that.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36- What is your fee? - I'm looking for £70 for my vase.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Well, I think it's very lovely.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41I wonder whether you might be interested in going a little bit lower - 60?
0:40:41 > 0:40:43- 60 quid. - I'd be very happy with it for 60.
0:40:43 > 0:40:4560 quid.
0:40:45 > 0:40:48I'd be happy with £60 cos I think it's a lovely vase and I think you deserve it.
0:40:48 > 0:40:51That's very sweet of you. I think it'd be lovely here too.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55The glass vase holds water. That's a cracking profit of £46.36.
0:40:57 > 0:41:01So there you go. Everything's sold off and settled in new homes.
0:41:01 > 0:41:05So, which of out selling sovereigns will reign victorious?
0:41:05 > 0:41:08And who is heading for the dark dungeon of despair?
0:41:08 > 0:41:11Both our daring dealers started this contest
0:41:11 > 0:41:14with £750 of their own money.
0:41:14 > 0:41:17Cunning Catherine came home having made five purchase totalling
0:41:17 > 0:41:20nearly £194.
0:41:20 > 0:41:22Jonty The Hitman went a little further.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26He pushed the boat out to six items and spent almost £264.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30But who has made the most profit?
0:41:30 > 0:41:32All of the money that Catherine
0:41:32 > 0:41:35and Jonty have made from today's challenge will be going to
0:41:35 > 0:41:39a charity of their choice, so without further ado let's find out
0:41:39 > 0:41:42who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:42 > 0:41:44FRENCH ACCENT: Jonty, bonjour.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47- Catherine, how are you? - Very well, thank you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48- FRENCH ACCENT:- How was Paris for you?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52I had a good time, but I don't know that I bought particularly well.
0:41:52 > 0:41:56I found it quite hard to barter in French.
0:41:56 > 0:41:59And also, I thought the prices were pretty high, weren't they?
0:41:59 > 0:42:00It's always tough.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04Now, I did call them firewood in the Paris market but I actually
0:42:04 > 0:42:07quite liked those biscuit moulds, how'd you get on with those?
0:42:07 > 0:42:09Oh, they were good, actually. They were beautiful.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12I was saved, I have to say, by my glass, my mirror
0:42:12 > 0:42:14and my glass vase.
0:42:14 > 0:42:16- Oh, right?! - I did OK with those, so...
0:42:16 > 0:42:17Oh, well, well done, you.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20I've got a horrible feeling about this one.
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I think you are going to have thrashed me.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25You've got something up your sleeve, haven't you?
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- Believe me, I have nothing up my sleeve!- Shall we see?
0:42:28 > 0:42:29Un...
0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Deux...- Trois...
0:42:31 > 0:42:33Ohhh, Jonty!
0:42:33 > 0:42:36That's not TOO bad.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38That's not too good either. Come on.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41Let's go and celebrate your success.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43Ah...poor Catherine.
0:42:43 > 0:42:47To compound her misery the shoeshine box did her no favours in the end.
0:42:47 > 0:42:52She sold it for just £20 making the only loss of the day at £5.45.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55The Parisian market was a great place to buy
0:42:55 > 0:42:59and I had lots of fun making those sales.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04So all in all I'm relieved but also very pleased I did so well.
0:43:04 > 0:43:10Well, Jonty did extremely well at the foreign market and I had no chance.
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Tres bien, Jonty. Tres bien.
0:43:13 > 0:43:16It wasn't to be for our Cunning lass,
0:43:16 > 0:43:19but there's always tomorrow for Catherine to regain her stripes.
0:43:19 > 0:43:24Or will The Hitman knock the spots off her at a car boot sale in Essex.
0:43:24 > 0:43:28I think I need to wear this to protect myself from Catherine.
