0:00:00 > 0:00:01Yeah!
0:00:01 > 0:00:04This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07The show that pitches TV's best loved antiques experts
0:00:07 > 0:00:10against each other in an all-out battle for profit.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13I'm a double your money girl.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16And gives you the insider's view of the trade.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18You've got to be in it to win it.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Each week, one pair of duelling dealers
0:00:20 > 0:00:23will face a different daily challenge.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26- Lovely!- We'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 > 0:00:36as they see who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38- Get in! - LAUGHS EVILLY
0:00:38 > 0:00:42Today's battle pitches the First Lady Of The Barter,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46Catherine Southon, against antiques super-smoothie Jonty Hearnden
0:00:46 > 0:00:50in some of the worst weather in the Put Your Money history.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Coming up handsome Mr Hearnden gets a hefty knock-back.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55You know you love me.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- No, I don't.- You don't love me?
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Courageous Catherine faces up to this formidable fellow.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Can we please do 25?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We can do 28, and that's the best it can be.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08And that's only cos you've got all your own teeth.
0:01:08 > 0:01:13And Jonty throws down some shapes on a bowling green.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Batten down the hatches, people. There is a storm coming in.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34The heavens have opened.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38The Earth will tremble as fiendish furniture fancier
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Jonty "the Hitman" Hearnden takes on Queen of Cunning,
0:01:41 > 0:01:46Catherine Southon, in an elemental battle of wits and skill.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hard-nosed dealers, we're out here for the bargains.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Today, these brave warriors must endure
0:01:51 > 0:01:55the worst weather conditions nature can hurl at them.
0:01:55 > 0:01:59An extra endurance test in an already crippling contest.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04They're at the Swinderby antiques fair in Lincolnshire,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07where there's 600 stalls to rifle for rarities.
0:02:07 > 0:02:0925 and then I'll run away and you'll never see me again.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12And they must be canny with their cash.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They've each got £750 to spend
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Jonty Hearnden, Catherine Southon,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Have you been here before?
0:02:26 > 0:02:28No, never been here before.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32But I think there's bargains to be had. I can feel it in my bones.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34You reckon? Well, it's a pretty dank, cold day.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37You've got that worrying glint in your eye, Jonty.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- You going to have a good day? - I'm going to have a great day.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- I've got a list in my pocket of all that I need to buy.- Really?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- You should be slightly worried. - What sort of thing are you going to buy, then?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50I shall surprise you with some very good antiques.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54My surprise is I have no idea what I'm going to buy, at all.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Have a great day. - And you. Good luck.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01And so, battle begins.
0:03:01 > 0:03:04But with freezing temperatures and constant drizzle,
0:03:04 > 0:03:07our daring dealers are soon drenched and freezing.
0:03:07 > 0:03:09# You're as cold as ice... #
0:03:09 > 0:03:12But, that won't hold back the Hitman.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16In fact, our veteran brawler reckons it goes in his favour.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19The weather conditions out here are really awful.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21I just wonder how Catherine's getting along,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24because she's an auctioneer.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26And auctioneering is an indoor business.
0:03:26 > 0:03:31But, us hard-nosed dealers, we're out here for the bargains.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34Well, don't go doubting the Queen of Cunning, Jonty,
0:03:34 > 0:03:36because she's already got one over on you.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Of course, I told Jonty that I had a list in my pocket
0:03:40 > 0:03:44full of the items I was going to buy for people today.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46I told a little porky.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49I haven't actually got a clue what I'm going to buy today.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52So it will be a complete challenge.
0:03:52 > 0:03:54That's the spirit, Catherine!
0:03:54 > 0:03:57Now, the weather's getting worse by the second.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59And it's Jonty who's first into the fray,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03straight in there with a classic Hitman haggle.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And the garden set? 130?
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Will you do a ton?
0:04:07 > 0:04:11- 110.- Because it's the wrong time of year to sell this sort of thing.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Not to me, it's not, Jonty, I sell it all year.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Give me a ton and I'll buy it from you.
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Oh, come on then.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- Is that all right?- Fine. - Thank you, my darling.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24So, these are essentially 19th century in style,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27because originally they'd have been cast iron, wouldn't they?
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Yes, but if I was to try and lift one in cast iron, I'd struggle.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34- I've got some money here for you. - Thank you very much.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38I'll pick these up later, so thank you very much indeed. Brilliant.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Now, it's a cold, dank, winter's day.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47The last thing I really wanted to buy was an outdoor garden table
0:04:47 > 0:04:52and a set of four chairs, but, I simply bought it because,
0:04:52 > 0:04:55at £100, it's worth every single penny of £100.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58And I know I'll be able to turn that into a profit.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Jonty takes his first step on the ladder of lucre,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04but Catherine can't even get a leg up.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I saw a ship's copper lantern earlier on and I thought, no,
0:05:07 > 0:05:11I'll give it a little thought.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16So I went away. I've now come back to buy it, and it's gone.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19So, my tip is, strike while the iron's hot.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22If you see it and you like it, buy it.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Well, that's a disappointment, but it's early days,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28and while Catherine's down, she's far from out.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Stung by her error, she redoubles her focus
0:05:31 > 0:05:34and soon spots a tool to add to her bargain belt.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36Can I just ask you the price of your plane?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39I know what's on it, but what could you do on that?
0:05:39 > 0:05:43The best I could do on that would be 25.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49But I would be looking more in the region of about 10, 15.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53I could do 15 on it, but it is a particularly nice example.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56It's very nicely prepared.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59I love the way that you're dusting that there.
0:05:59 > 0:06:02Trying to get the rain off it!
0:06:02 > 0:06:08You can see where the carpenter's used it. It's a nicely used thing.
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- It is nice. What's the maker's name on it?- Marple and Sons.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15It has got a bit of a split there.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17That's original patina, over the years.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I wouldn't want to pay any more than 10, to be honest.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22If we could do a deal now on 10...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25I'm going to be brave and I'm going to go for 10 on that.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26And, after some bold bartering,
0:06:26 > 0:06:29the plane ensures a smooth take-off for our antiques angel.
0:06:29 > 0:06:33I think that this should make about £30-£40 profit on it.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37It is a nice little piece in good, honest condition.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Hmmm! That cheeky wink says it all!
0:06:40 > 0:06:42But even Catherine can't keep this good man down.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Jonty the juggernaut keeps on rolling.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46Do you think they're old?
0:06:46 > 0:06:50Yeah, they're old. That's the original box.
0:06:50 > 0:06:57- That's the original box, is it? Yes. So, what's the best on this?- 25.- 25.
0:06:57 > 0:07:01- I'll give you 20. I'll buy them for 20, now.- Yeah, go on, then, go on.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Yeah? You happy? Thank you very much indeed.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08So, it's a fiver each. And the box is free?
0:07:08 > 0:07:09You got a bargain.
0:07:09 > 0:07:10JONTY LAUGHS
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Jonty Hearnden a one-man haggling hit squad.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Is this a man or a machine?
0:07:17 > 0:07:20A smooth, calm exterior,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23but calculating and relentless on the inside.
0:07:23 > 0:07:27And he's thirsty for fuel. Anything that would pick up a profit.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32There's always a market for old-fashioned skiing equipment.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35So, if you're a travel agent, what do you want hanging on your wall?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38Not a brand-new pair of skis,
0:07:38 > 0:07:41but an old-fashioned wooden pair of skis.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Those skis we were just looking at there fall between two stools,
0:07:44 > 0:07:46not quite right.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50But, if I found a wooden pair, they would do for me.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52As the Hitman gets his skates on,
0:07:52 > 0:07:56cunning Catherine moves in on a stall where she spots an inkwell.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01It is a nice shape, isn't it? It's got a nice cut at the bottom.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's 1913, is it? 1912?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I like it because it's not too bulky and it's quite elegant
0:08:09 > 0:08:11but I still don't like the price.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13The trader has already dropped to the lowest price
0:08:13 > 0:08:17she will accept, £28, and she means what she says.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21So, how many times will cunning Catherine push her luck?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23I'd really like it for £20.
0:08:23 > 0:08:2528, that's it.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29- Can we just split it in the middle? - I already did a little bit.
0:08:29 > 0:08:3125 and that's it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32Sorry, no, 28.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36I'd be very happy at 25.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38SHE MOUTHS
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Oh, go on.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44I promise, 25, and then I'll run away and you'll never see me again.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- Seven, lucky for some. - No, really, I really can't.
0:08:47 > 0:08:5025, my final offer, and then I'll walk away.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52No, no, no.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Please don't say no to me! I'll smile, sweetly.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Honestly, 28, that's it.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Oh go on, please, 25?
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Oop! Into double figures.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08- Oh, come on, 25. What's three pounds between friends?- Exactly!
0:09:08 > 0:09:12And I'll buy you a cup of tea.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Go on, then. £28.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17After 13 unlucky attempts, Catherine
0:09:17 > 0:09:18accepts she's met her match,
0:09:18 > 0:09:22but she knows she's on to a good thing.
0:09:22 > 0:09:25This is a very charming little inkwell.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Solid silver cap there.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31I love this paperweight-type base to this,
0:09:31 > 0:09:35nice glass with a lovely cut underneath,
0:09:35 > 0:09:39and I can see that there's a nice, chunky profit in this.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43And that's what this game is all about cold, hard profit.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47Catherine knows what she's doing but the Hitman's no fool, either,
0:09:47 > 0:09:49He's spotted some very special spoons.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51What's the best on those?
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Er, 45 is the best.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59I'll do 40 on those, but not 45. Are you happy about those? 40 on those?
0:09:59 > 0:10:02No messing about. The Hitman's in the house.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05But cunning Catherine won't be put off.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08She's found a giant bottle of brandy.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10How much can you do on that?
0:10:10 > 0:10:16I'm asking 45. I could maybe go to 35.
0:10:16 > 0:10:17Oh, no!
0:10:19 > 0:10:23My final, final offer would be £28.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- 28?- The lady asks her husband.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Time for to Catherine to unleash The Schmooze.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35The Schmooze? Schmoozing! I like that.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37How long do you want to schmooze for?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41As long as it takes to go down and down and down and down.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44Go on, take your £28.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Hang on, she's at it again.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- 28.- We were schmoozing, a minute ago.- I know.
0:10:49 > 0:10:52And you said we could schmooze for as long as we wanted.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Yeah, but the price goes up, if you schmooze too long.
0:10:55 > 0:10:56Can we do 25?
0:10:56 > 0:10:59We can do 28, and that's the best it can be.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01And that's only because you've got all your own teeth.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03I have, as well!
0:11:03 > 0:11:04I haven't!
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- Honestly, £28. That's the best it can be.- Go on, then.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12- Go on, then.- 25?- 28.- 28.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Shameless, Miss Southon, shameless!
0:11:14 > 0:11:19We're almost at the halfway point in our elemental challenge,
0:11:19 > 0:11:20but which of our wet warhorses
0:11:20 > 0:11:23is getting bogged down by the bad weather?
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- You're looking a little cold. - I'm blue.
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I'm blue, right down to my toes. Absolutely frozen.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It's a wee bit chilly. How you doing?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35All right. Not too bad.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I've got a couple of items under my belt that I'm quite happy with, ish,
0:11:39 > 0:11:43not giving too much away. What about you?
0:11:43 > 0:11:47I haven't bought enough stuff. I'm not a happy bunny, yet.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Excellent!
0:11:48 > 0:11:49We've got a lot more work to do.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Everyone's packing up, which is slightly disconcerting.
0:11:52 > 0:11:55The weather is so inclement that's exactly what people are going to do.
0:11:55 > 0:11:57I think they're just going to go home early,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00which means I have some more work to do.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Don't work too hard, now, Jonty, will you?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06Another wink. Brazen!
0:12:06 > 0:12:09As our two maestros of the market continue their trawl,
0:12:09 > 0:12:12let's see how their items are stacking up.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17They both hit the stalls with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20After an early blow, cunning Catherine has made
0:12:20 > 0:12:26three purchases for £66, meaning she still has a whopping £684 left.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Jonty the Hitman is pacing himself.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32He's also bought three items, but spent £160.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36His kitty still has £590 remaining.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Our daring duo still have plenty of cash to spend, as they slosh
0:12:40 > 0:12:43their way through these terrible weather conditions,
0:12:43 > 0:12:46in dogged pursuit of the purchases
0:12:46 > 0:12:48that will give them one up on their opponent.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52Cunning Catherine is steering her way through the rain
0:12:52 > 0:12:54towards a pair of ships' wheels.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Somebody I know has got a bar
0:12:55 > 0:12:59and he wants to do it all up with a nautical theme.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Now, these caught my eye. I wouldn't say they've got great age to them.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05They're certainly not late 19th-century.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08They're just more for fun, for decoration.
0:13:08 > 0:13:11Nice, brass central hub to them.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13I'm going to see how much they are.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17And our soggy street-fighter steps into the ring.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a bruising bout of haggling.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24In the wet, grey coat and pashmina, our challenger,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26Cunning Catherine Southon.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29And, in the warm, dry sheepskin, the defender.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33It's Hardened Hat Man. Get ready for a rumble.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But who will be worn down first?
0:13:35 > 0:13:36BOXING BELL SOUNDS
0:13:36 > 0:13:37£10?
0:13:37 > 0:13:41- They're getting wet. You don't want them to get wetter.- £20.
0:13:41 > 0:13:42Come on, £10.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45There's some early dancing around.
0:13:45 > 0:13:46There's nothing to them!
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Oh, a low blow!
0:13:48 > 0:13:50Come on, £10.
0:13:50 > 0:13:52He's got her there.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Can't do it for 10, honestly.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56They're only a bit of decoration, aren't they?
0:13:56 > 0:13:57I've got to feed the kids.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Hat Man jabs with a sob story.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02Split the difference. £12. And we're done.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04We started at 25. Come on!
0:14:04 > 0:14:06Our hardened fighter's pleading.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Look at me, dripping wet here!
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And the weather proves to be Catherine's knockout blow.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14£15, and I'll give you a pound back for luck.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- You will give me a what? - £1 back for luck.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Pound back for luck, so £14?
0:14:18 > 0:14:20- All right! - You drive a hard bargain.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21BELL RINGS
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Our challenger took some mighty punches
0:14:23 > 0:14:26but, at £14, she's got her opponent on the ropes.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28Let's hope that pound is lucky.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Now, elsewhere, the Hitman's dancing around the canvas
0:14:32 > 0:14:34like an antiques Muhammad Ali.
0:14:34 > 0:14:39And he's just found a pair of wait for it wooden skis.
0:14:39 > 0:14:41Tell me about these.
0:14:41 > 0:14:46These, um, are German. Probably '60s.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51So, the bindings here are the giveaway for age, essentially.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53They're decorative. I've always got customers
0:14:53 > 0:14:56that are looking for something a wee bit different.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59You're going to have to tempt me with a really good price.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- A really, really good price would be £25.- 25 quid.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06Hmm. That's not a really, really good price, is it?
0:15:06 > 0:15:09It depends, whether it's to you or me!
0:15:09 > 0:15:12I'm a little bit concerned about the damage, I have to say.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15But 25 quid is not what I was looking for.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17I would take them at 15 quid.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20For 15? That's a little bit low for me. How about 20?
0:15:20 > 0:15:2217.50, I'll take them.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25I don't do 50 pences. Make it 18.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27I'll take them off you for £18.
0:15:27 > 0:15:29Yes, a tough haggle
0:15:29 > 0:15:32but our relentless racer negotiates the slalom well
0:15:32 > 0:15:34and Miss Southon follows in his tracks.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Sticking with her nautical theme
0:15:36 > 0:15:39she's snapped up an array of maritime antiques.
0:15:39 > 0:15:43The thing that really caught my eye was this half block model
0:15:43 > 0:15:45which I actually think is quite nice.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47It's made from pine.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51It's built up in what we call a bread and butter style,
0:15:51 > 0:15:56so we've got three different strips of pine on top of one another.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59These little details, these little scrolls have been repainted
0:15:59 > 0:16:03and touched up, but I'm not too bothered about that.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07These little beauties, throwing lines, they speak for themselves,
0:16:07 > 0:16:11and I think they work quite well with the nautical idea.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Little miniature bulkhead clock, a pair of row locks,
0:16:14 > 0:16:18brass lamp, couple of other bits and pieces here,
0:16:18 > 0:16:20I paid £240 for these.
0:16:20 > 0:16:25I just really hope that the person that I've got in mind for these
0:16:25 > 0:16:31will buy them, because otherwise I am in serious, serious trouble.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34An expensive purchase and potentially a massive risk.
0:16:34 > 0:16:38But, to counter that with a safer bet, our lady must work fast,
0:16:38 > 0:16:42as more traders are packing up early to escape the rain.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45This is now really, really worrying.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48There's nothing left!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51So many of the stalls have just packed up and gone.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54In fact, it's not worrying. It's desperate.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56MUSIC: "Holding Out For A Hero" by Bonnie Tyler.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59And as the traders take flight, it's clear that there's only
0:16:59 > 0:17:03two hotshots who can hack this weather, our Put Your Money dealers.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05# I need a hero!
0:17:05 > 0:17:09# I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night
0:17:09 > 0:17:13# He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast
0:17:13 > 0:17:16# and he's got to be fresh from the fight... #
0:17:16 > 0:17:20As the rain pelts down, our hardened hitman strikes again.
0:17:20 > 0:17:24He buys a 1930s Shelley jug for just £5.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Cunning Catherine continues the hunt
0:17:27 > 0:17:29for anything that will give her bang for her buck.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32But once again, Jonty's locked on target.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Under the shelter of a windswept gazebo,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38he comes across an electro-plated silver tea set.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I'm a desperate man.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42There's nobody left!
0:17:42 > 0:17:44I'm the only one!
0:17:44 > 0:17:48- Absolutely. I've got money burning a hole in my pocket.- £90.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50I'd like to do it for 85.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53Come on, Jonty! Where's that famous charm?
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- You know you love me. - Well, no, I don't.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57You don't love me?
0:17:57 > 0:17:58Well, maybe not.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00You don't come and see me often enough any more.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04He wants to take 85 for it.
0:18:04 > 0:18:06OK, that's it, that'll do.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Yeah? 85 for the set.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11The Hitman was trying to charm the wrong person
0:18:11 > 0:18:13but he gets what he wants in the end.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15The style is 18th-century.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19I suppose, really, early 19th century.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21And the styles never really went out of vogue.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25But these coffee pots and teapots, and the set, well,
0:18:25 > 0:18:28what age are they? No more than 1930s.
0:18:28 > 0:18:33Well, if anyone can turn silver plate into gold, it's our Jonty.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Time's almost up now, but can the Hitman pinpoint one last find?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I've looked in the last two remaining stalls and,
0:18:40 > 0:18:45as you can see, there's a vast space where everyone's literally left.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47There are no more bargains to be had,
0:18:47 > 0:18:51and anyone that's still remaining here is packing their goods away.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54So, for me, it's time to raise my white flag for the day.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Hmmm. Jonty goes off in search of a towel and a hot toddy.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04But our cunning Cat is still combing one of those last remaining stalls.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07What do you think they are? Probably little ink bottles.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It's more for scent, isn't it? Might be scent, actually.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16Definitely late 19th-century, with the sort of purple bottle.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19I quite like those. That's too much at 80.
0:19:19 > 0:19:22I paid 70 for them. Which is probably is too much.
0:19:22 > 0:19:23It probably is too much.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Give me my money back and you can have it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Oh, I don't know. I'm thinking.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I'll give you 60. £60.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Go on, then I'll get out of it.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Final offer, 60, OK.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38- Put it there.- Thanks.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42She may be drenched and freezing but Catherine never gives up the fight,
0:19:42 > 0:19:44and the trader gets to unload an extra item
0:19:44 > 0:19:47right at the end of a dismal day.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49I couldn't resist that.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I thought I was actually done for the day,
0:19:51 > 0:19:55but that is such a sweet little thing and it's got Me written all over it.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Which is probably a bad mistake
0:19:57 > 0:20:00because that means I'm buying with my heart, not my head.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Well, don't rule out that gut instinct, Catherine.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It's a powerful tool.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07And with that our buying bonanza comes to a close.
0:20:07 > 0:20:12Our drenched dualists both started the day
0:20:12 > 0:20:15with £750 in cold, hard cash.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Cunning Catherine Southon played hardball
0:20:18 > 0:20:22and made six purchases for £380.
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden
0:20:23 > 0:20:27charmed his way around this freezing market also picking up six items
0:20:27 > 0:20:30but spending way less, just £268.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34So, our bargain busters retreat to the warmth of a nearby hotel
0:20:34 > 0:20:37to compare their wares.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39It was cold today, wasn't it?
0:20:39 > 0:20:42It was the dampness that got to me, I have to say.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44But what's inside this little leather case here?
0:20:44 > 0:20:47This was my last purchase of the day.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49Oh, wow. What did you pay for it?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I paid £60 for it, but I think it's lovely.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55What do you think of my best buy here?
0:20:55 > 0:20:56Beautiful.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58If I'd have seen them I would have bought them.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00I still had money to spend.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02I was in a desperate state to purchase
0:21:02 > 0:21:04so what do you think that might have been?
0:21:04 > 0:21:08I think I'm staring right at your desperate purchases.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10- My tea and coffee set?- Yes. - Absolutely.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13It's the finest quality.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14- EPNS.- Yes.- Yes.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18And I've never, ever bought EPNS before. Electro-plated silver.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21So how much did you pay for this, then, Jonty?
0:21:21 > 0:21:2485 quid. It's a lot of money, isn't it?
0:21:24 > 0:21:26But, it's a gamble. And we shall see.
0:21:26 > 0:21:27More tea?
0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Oh, there's no tea in there. - There's not much in there.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33- I tell you, £85, there should be tea in there.- Get some more.
0:21:35 > 0:21:38Our dynamic duo
0:21:38 > 0:21:41have endured the elements and been tested to their limits
0:21:41 > 0:21:43but still this battle rages on.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Catherine and Jonty must now take on the task of selling all their items.
0:21:47 > 0:21:52They need to rake in the cash and bank bundles of profit.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55A supreme sell-off like this requires rigorous research,
0:21:55 > 0:21:57convincing conversations,
0:21:57 > 0:22:00and miles and miles of motoring across our green and pleasant land.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02But there can only be one victor,
0:22:02 > 0:22:06the dealer who mounts up the most profit.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Braving the outdoors in oh-so-lovely Oxfordshire, sturdy Jonty
0:22:11 > 0:22:15is sizing up his showstoppers and plans a brutal campaign.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21I bought the table and chairs, I bought my jug, my Shelley jug,
0:22:21 > 0:22:24my bowls and my set of skis, what a contrast.
0:22:24 > 0:22:25Table and chairs,
0:22:25 > 0:22:29I need to find the right buyer for that person most definitely,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32because it's quite seasonal.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34The jug that I bought here, Shelley jug,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37I should be able to find Shelley collectors for that.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41My bowls which are turned out of timber, they are lovely.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43There are always buyers for that, and my set of skis,
0:22:43 > 0:22:46I've sold skis like that before, similar ones,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48but these ones are a little bit worn.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51The Hitman also needs to find new homes
0:22:51 > 0:22:52for his spoon set,
0:22:52 > 0:22:54and the silver-plated tea set.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56So I've got a bit of homework to do.
0:22:56 > 0:22:59I need to find my buyers, and I need to find them quickly.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03Indeed you do, sir, because over at Cunning HQ in Kent
0:23:03 > 0:23:06Catherine is ready to join battle,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08despite some mixed emotions about her items.
0:23:09 > 0:23:15I love my cognac bottle here on this wonderful little swinging pourer,
0:23:15 > 0:23:20I guess, but I've got a big problem with my nautical items.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23I just went a bit mad on the whole nautical theme.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26The half block model is a nice piece,
0:23:26 > 0:23:28it's nicely made, it's good quality.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33But, this clock doesn't really work.
0:23:33 > 0:23:39This is cracked, these are pieces of rope.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43And the lantern's only got two glass panels,
0:23:43 > 0:23:45so overall not a brilliant selection.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Most importantly, our lady is still smiling.
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Catherine's cunning ways will also be put to the test
0:23:51 > 0:23:54with the glass inkwell, the perfume bottles,
0:23:54 > 0:23:57the two wooden wheels and the plane.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58There's no doubt
0:23:58 > 0:24:00that both our monolithic maestros are going to face
0:24:00 > 0:24:02some almighty challenges
0:24:02 > 0:24:04as they hunt down their potential buyers.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And no matter how many meetings they set up,
0:24:07 > 0:24:09they know that until they have shaken on it
0:24:09 > 0:24:10and the money has changed hands,
0:24:10 > 0:24:13no deal is sealed.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14Jonty's been hard at work
0:24:14 > 0:24:17lining up a buyer for his set of antique bowls,
0:24:17 > 0:24:19but years of experience
0:24:19 > 0:24:23have taught The Hitman that presentation is everything.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25What I need to do is to really give them
0:24:25 > 0:24:29a good dosing of natural beeswax polish.
0:24:29 > 0:24:31Can you see the colour difference already?
0:24:31 > 0:24:35This has got the wax polish on, and look how dry this side is.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36It's the buff that counts,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38not the amount of wax polish that you put on.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Mmm, sounds like a rule to live by, Jonty.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44All of a sudden I can see my face in it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Let's hope that intense bout of buffing will add some value
0:24:48 > 0:24:50to the £20 Jonty paid for the bowls.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52The Hitman has arranged to meet Nigel,
0:24:52 > 0:24:57the indoor director of the Oxford City and County Bowls Club.
0:24:57 > 0:25:01But, will his patter bowl over such a seasoned enthusiast?
0:25:01 > 0:25:03- What I do know is that they're lignum vitae.- Correct.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05And they actually have a date on them as well.
0:25:05 > 0:25:07So they're around the 1950s.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10But what I loved about them as well, they have the original box.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Basically these were made for outdoor play.
0:25:13 > 0:25:17As a collectors item they're quite common,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20but they're in nice condition, and not too bad for its age.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22Are you interested enough to talk money here?
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Yeah.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Well, I'm looking for £100 for my set.
0:25:26 > 0:25:29I think you're aiming a bit high with 100, Jonty, myself.
0:25:29 > 0:25:33If these were all... There is a bit of damage,
0:25:33 > 0:25:35and as I said, these are really collectors items.
0:25:35 > 0:25:3760.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40No, I need a bit more than that.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43I'm looking for 80, really. I'd do 80.
0:25:45 > 0:25:4675 you've got a deal.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51- Go on then. Let's shake on it.- 75. - That's brilliant.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53I suppose now I'm the proud owner
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I'd better see if you can actually bowl one of these.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Oh, Nigel lays down the gauntlet.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01The Hitman's already banked £55,
0:26:01 > 0:26:02but he's not one
0:26:02 > 0:26:04to back down from a challenge.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Even those socks say hardened warrior.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10That's an awfully long way away.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14A vision of sporting prowess, the Hitman gets a quick lesson.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16The number always faces to the inside.
0:26:16 > 0:26:19Yep. So that's... The weight pulls it round.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23And then our giant of the green shows us how it's done.
0:26:24 > 0:26:27Oh no!
0:26:27 > 0:26:28# Great balls of fire. #
0:26:28 > 0:26:30Or not. As the case may be.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32That's terrible.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Oh dear. But our honed hero is not a man who gives up.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38He practises...
0:26:38 > 0:26:40makes some funny noises...
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Arghh!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43And then eventually...
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Come on!
0:26:45 > 0:26:46..this happens.
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Look at that. Woo!
0:26:48 > 0:26:51# Great balls of fire! #
0:26:51 > 0:26:54Yes, Jonty might be right on target, but in Kent
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Catherine is launching her campaign.
0:26:56 > 0:26:58In a bold opening move
0:26:58 > 0:27:02she is hoping to shift two of her items in one fell swoop.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06I've come along to see a dealer that I know called Terry.
0:27:06 > 0:27:11Now, he has expressed interest in my perfume bottles and inkwell.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15He buys similar sort of things to what I'm interested in
0:27:15 > 0:27:19so I'm hoping that he's going to be just as passionate as I am,
0:27:19 > 0:27:23and he's going to love these and give me lots of money.
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Catherine's playing catch up, so she needs to get cracking,
0:27:26 > 0:27:28and get to work on Terry.
0:27:28 > 0:27:29Good to see you. Thank you.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30First of all...
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Got a little inkwell there.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35Beautiful, isn't it?
0:27:35 > 0:27:38The quality of the underneath here, when you look at it,
0:27:38 > 0:27:39which is very unusual.
0:27:39 > 0:27:40It's not just flat, is it?
0:27:40 > 0:27:45No, you've got that lovely sort of cut in there, and a little shell.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- I've got the perfect spot for that. - Have you?- Would it be for you?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It would. Definitely, definitely, yes.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54That's a great start and Catherine presses on.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56This is something I really hope you'll keep for yourself
0:27:56 > 0:27:58because I think
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- it's absolutely... - Oh, wow, look at that.- ..lovely.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03- A perfect little travelling thing. - Really nice.
0:28:03 > 0:28:05Could be used for both sexes, I suppose.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07The all-important question, how much is this going to cost me?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I would like 60 on that.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14I think because of the design it's not just an ordinary inkwell,
0:28:14 > 0:28:16I'm happy with that.
0:28:16 > 0:28:17Are you? £60.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20Mmm, could have got in higher there, Catherine.
0:28:20 > 0:28:24Now this is just so beautiful, and I'm a bit reluctant to let it go.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29I don't want to part with it, but I'd like to ask 150 for that.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31I was thinking more, sort of at the bottom end,
0:28:31 > 0:28:35more around the £100 mark, how does that sound?
0:28:35 > 0:28:36100. How does 140 sound?
0:28:36 > 0:28:39How about 130?
0:28:39 > 0:28:44OK, 130. Shall we say 130 and 60?
0:28:44 > 0:28:45That's absolutely fine.
0:28:45 > 0:28:46Are you happy with that?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49Yes, I'm absolutely happy with that. That's brilliant.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Oh, that's a triumphant first outing for the cunning one.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55The glass inkwell makes a glittering profit of £32,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58but the perfume bottles proved to be the real treasure,
0:28:58 > 0:29:04offering up a fragrant profit of £70, our lady is rightly delighted.
0:29:04 > 0:29:06Jonty, I really hope you've got your skates on
0:29:06 > 0:29:11because I am working very hard and getting some excellent results.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Mmm, she's fired up.
0:29:12 > 0:29:18For our chiselled Chippendale it's not about skates, it's about skis.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Our Olympian is in Wallingford
0:29:20 > 0:29:22carving through the streets
0:29:22 > 0:29:24with a steely look in his eyes.
0:29:24 > 0:29:28Well I hope I haven't gone too off piste buying these skis,
0:29:28 > 0:29:32because on closer inspection they really are in ropey condition.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35Look on the underside of this one here, there's glue all over it.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37So they have seen better days.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41But I've brought them here to show them to a travel agent.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Neil who runs the business is always interested in finding props
0:29:44 > 0:29:46that are just slightly different.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48I hope they're just not too unusual.
0:29:52 > 0:29:57Well, he paid £18 so will he slide off with any profit?
0:29:57 > 0:30:00Now, I have to confess, they have seen better days.
0:30:00 > 0:30:01They have, haven't they?
0:30:01 > 0:30:03They literally have been applied to the wall.
0:30:03 > 0:30:07Not too much of problem as I'm planning on doing something similar.
0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Yes? I suppose date wise they're probably about 50 years old.- OK.
0:30:10 > 0:30:121960s, I suppose.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14Actually, if you feel the weight of that,
0:30:14 > 0:30:16it's really quite heavy.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Imagine lugging those up a mountainside.
0:30:18 > 0:30:21And you can see the way they're constructed.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Different types of timbers have been glued together.
0:30:24 > 0:30:28And the bindings, look how different they all are as well?
0:30:28 > 0:30:30It has come on a long, long way.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Well I'm looking for 60 quid for the pair, that's £30 each.
0:30:33 > 0:30:37- Or £60 for one, and the other one is free.- OK!
0:30:37 > 0:30:41Erm, I have seen better ones for a similar price.
0:30:41 > 0:30:44I'd take them off your hands for 50.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- OK.- Yes?- That will be fine.
0:30:46 > 0:30:47You have a deal.
0:30:47 > 0:30:52The Hitman racks up £32 profit. It's like watching poetry in motion.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Now, sometimes when you're selling
0:30:54 > 0:30:57it really feels like you're pushing boulders uphill.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59It can be really, really tricky.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02But selling those skis to Neil just felt so easy.
0:31:02 > 0:31:05Catherine, you have snow chance of winning.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07Catherine is in deep water for her next sale,
0:31:07 > 0:31:09the array of nautical nick-nacks
0:31:09 > 0:31:12she's developed serious doubts about.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15But when in doubt, be daring
0:31:15 > 0:31:18and our lady is trespassing on The Hitman's stomping ground.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21She's in Henley-on-Thames, just 20 minutes from Jonty's door,
0:31:21 > 0:31:23but will her trip pay off?
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Now when I bought this, I bought this with somebody in mind.
0:31:28 > 0:31:32However, he's since told me he's only interested in one item.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Nevertheless, I'm going to see if I can charm him.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38And try and sell him the rest.
0:31:39 > 0:31:41She's not in shippest of shapes
0:31:41 > 0:31:46but if anyone can weigh anchor on a mighty profit it's our Catherine.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47Now, rope.
0:31:48 > 0:31:49Rope.
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Is this going to be of any use to you?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57To be honest, it's not the most attractive looking rope, is it?
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Well, no, but you could sort of hang it somewhere.
0:32:00 > 0:32:03Look, up there it would look quite nice.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05- Do something with it. - Pair of earrings, maybe.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07I don't know, that lantern in the box
0:32:07 > 0:32:10looks a little bit more attractive.
0:32:10 > 0:32:11Does it?
0:32:11 > 0:32:12At last.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15How does £80 sound to you? That's a bit of a bargain.
0:32:15 > 0:32:18Is it? I was going to say I'd be interested at 50.
0:32:18 > 0:32:2080 is just pushing it a little bit.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24I don't know where I'm going to hang these things.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Shall we meet midway?
0:32:26 > 0:32:27What's between 50 and 80?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30In my book it's 75!
0:32:30 > 0:32:32In your book it might be slightly different.
0:32:32 > 0:32:3665, for the rope and the lantern.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- Oh, go on then.- All right!- 65.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Catherine did better than she thought she would
0:32:43 > 0:32:46but there's still the rest of the collection to go.
0:32:46 > 0:32:50And she'll need to sell that for £175, just to break even.
0:32:50 > 0:32:53Jonty has brought his £5 Shelley jug to Gerry,
0:32:53 > 0:32:58the chair of the Shelley Group of China Enthusiasts, no less.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59Mr Chairman pays £30 for it
0:32:59 > 0:33:02giving The Hitman £25 profit.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08So, as we hit the midway point in our super sell up,
0:33:08 > 0:33:12our bargain bruisers have turned into bounty hunters.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15Jonty The Hitman has sold three of his six items so far
0:33:15 > 0:33:19and has raked in a very healthy profit of £112.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22Cunning Catherine is making waves as well.
0:33:22 > 0:33:25No final figures yet for the nautical collection,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28but she is two items down and £102 in profit.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33Our gorgeous gladiators could barely be closer, it's all to play for.
0:33:34 > 0:33:35And as Jonty hits the phones,
0:33:35 > 0:33:40Catherine sets out to find a home for her remaining nautical items.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43She brings them to Paul in West Sussex,
0:33:43 > 0:33:45a specialist dealer in maritime items.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47He starts with the half boat.
0:33:47 > 0:33:53I think it's the first quarter to the first half of the 20th century.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56But been made in the traditional manner,
0:33:56 > 0:33:59and it's a very attractive thing.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Nice back board too. I would be happy to consider buying it.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04OK. All right. Moving on.
0:34:04 > 0:34:05To the timepiece.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10I would say, again, no great age but nice quality
0:34:10 > 0:34:12and yes, in its proportions it's nice.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14It's a good sort of decorative object.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16If it's the right money I'd be interested.
0:34:16 > 0:34:18And it tells the time, twice a day.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21No excuse for being late.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24Now, row locks.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Possibly the oldest thing on the table, perhaps.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Do you think?
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Yeah, in my opinion I could do something with them.
0:34:31 > 0:34:35- But you're not going to get rich over them.- No. OK.
0:34:35 > 0:34:39And so the moment that Catherine's been dreading, the money.
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Remember, Catherine needs £175 just to break even.
0:34:43 > 0:34:47I'd like to think this is worth around £200.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51The little timepiece here I would say about £20.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55These little pair of beauties, £18, £20.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Shall we shake on 250 for that?
0:34:58 > 0:34:59I'm happy to do that, that's no problem.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01250. That's lovely, thank you so much.
0:35:01 > 0:35:03What a result!
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Adding the lantern and rope from earlier,
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Catherine has sold all her nautical items for a total of £315,
0:35:10 > 0:35:15netting her a healthy profit of £75, and she's not stopping there.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Whilst we're in that mood of shaking on not bad deals,
0:35:18 > 0:35:21can I present these to you?
0:35:21 > 0:35:23Can you do anything with them?
0:35:23 > 0:35:24Nice to have a pair, actually.
0:35:24 > 0:35:27They have come down a bit in price, probably about £40 for the pair.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30That's absolutely fine by me.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Paul, you're lovely.
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Catherine is like a royal yacht,
0:35:35 > 0:35:37gliding majestically over rough seas.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41The wooden wheels spin her a profit of £26.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Watch out, Jonty.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47I think I'm sailing towards success.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Yes, Catherine has certainly earned her skipper's stripes
0:35:50 > 0:35:52and she leaves Jonty trailing in her wake.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54He hits back by selling
0:35:54 > 0:35:57the silver-plated tea set for £100,
0:35:57 > 0:35:59serving up a profit of £15.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03The Hitman always has his eyes peeled for a potential sale.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05His contact Claire has been looking for
0:36:05 > 0:36:08a 19th-century style table and chair set for her garden,
0:36:08 > 0:36:11and Mr H is determined to deliver.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15Claire, here's the table and chairs. What do you think?
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Yes, they look great. Perfect for the garden.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Coalbrookdale were the main foundry makers
0:36:21 > 0:36:25that made garden furniture like this so popular in the Victorian era.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Sets like this have never really gone out of fashion.
0:36:28 > 0:36:32The metal is not cast iron, it's more of a base metal,
0:36:32 > 0:36:33it's much lighter, in fact.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36- I think they need a bit of work. - They certainly do.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39But you need to get rid of the green stuff, the lichen.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42And the way to do that is either get a high-pressure hose onto it,
0:36:42 > 0:36:44or bleach it off.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Preferably a bit of both if you can.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49Bit of a sandpaper just to get rid of flaky bits,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51and then the rest is paint.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54I've done a bit of research on this set here.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57I've seen that single chairs like this
0:36:57 > 0:36:58are selling for around £150 a pop.
0:36:58 > 0:37:03I am asking only £200 for this whole set.
0:37:03 > 0:37:05Could be a game changer,
0:37:05 > 0:37:08but will Claire give Jonty a run for his money?
0:37:08 > 0:37:10All will be revealed a little later.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13Cunning Catherine has brought her £10 plane
0:37:13 > 0:37:16to the Building Crafts College in East London
0:37:16 > 0:37:17where she is meeting John.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20He's taught traditional tool-working methods for years,
0:37:20 > 0:37:22so he knows his onions.
0:37:22 > 0:37:28My goodness me, that's an interesting plane.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29And I have to say,
0:37:29 > 0:37:31I haven't seen many of these around for a long while.
0:37:31 > 0:37:35When I was at school we actually used this type of plane.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40- Which are lovely. You look at patina on this.- Amazing.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43- It's got some fabulous grain in the timber there.- It's lovely, isn't it?
0:37:43 > 0:37:48Given its length, this is designed for planing, for example,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50if you are trying to joint two pieces of timber,
0:37:50 > 0:37:52and to try and get it straight
0:37:52 > 0:37:54so the joint goes together without any gaps,
0:37:54 > 0:37:56this sort of plane would be used.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59Very difficult to date it exactly.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04It could be early 1900s this was made.
0:38:04 > 0:38:08Downstairs we have a display of some historic tools down there.
0:38:08 > 0:38:09This would have a home here.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12- Oh, really?- Yes.- Fantastic, that's what we like to hear.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14I think that would look quite good in place there.
0:38:14 > 0:38:15How does £50 sound on that?
0:38:15 > 0:38:19That's a little bit more than I think we'd want to be paying for it.
0:38:19 > 0:38:20Is it?
0:38:20 > 0:38:22What about £20?
0:38:22 > 0:38:23Oh, John.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26Can we settle on 30, would that be fair?
0:38:26 > 0:38:28That gives me a little bit more profit.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Does it?- Yes.
0:38:30 > 0:38:3125.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Oh, John, you're a hard task master!
0:38:34 > 0:38:35Oh, dear.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38I think I've got to stick on that.
0:38:38 > 0:38:39Have we? Have we?
0:38:41 > 0:38:4228.
0:38:42 > 0:38:4428, all right, deal done.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47I don't think I could have pushed him any more, I don't think.
0:38:47 > 0:38:52John's steely determination surprised even our Catherine.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54The plane cuts a profit of £18.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56Whilst she's in London our Countess of collectables
0:38:56 > 0:38:59targets a hotel in exclusive Mayfair
0:38:59 > 0:39:01to sell her last item,
0:39:01 > 0:39:03the large brandy bottle and stand.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06After some more schmoozing
0:39:06 > 0:39:07she sells it for £80
0:39:07 > 0:39:11pouring a large glass of profit, £52.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15And that's the first of our antiques assassins all sold up.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18The Hitman has one last chance to scoop a peach of a profit.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22He takes the spoons set he purchased for £40
0:39:22 > 0:39:25to David, a specialist Art Deco dealer in Berkshire.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28Now look at the inside here.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30Oh, they're lovely, they look very nice.
0:39:30 > 0:39:34A set of lovely Art Deco silver and enamel spoons.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36- They're certainly very nice indeed. - Aren't they charming?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- Are they hallmarked?- Yes, hallmarked on the reverse. Just there.
0:39:40 > 0:39:44- But they are in their original box. - Yes, they're very good, aren't they?
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Which is really beautiful.
0:39:45 > 0:39:46I do like things like this.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49This is a particularly attractive piece.
0:39:49 > 0:39:56The decoration on them is very good. They're nice, original box.
0:39:56 > 0:39:59- I particularly like the design of the fan, the Egyptian fan...- Yes.
0:39:59 > 0:40:00..in the spoon there.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04All inspired by Tutankhamen which is just absolutely wonderful.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06£80 is what I'm looking for.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09No, I wouldn't pay that for them, Jonty.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- I think my top price for these would be £50.- £50.
0:40:13 > 0:40:15What about 70?
0:40:15 > 0:40:17No. Not for me.
0:40:17 > 0:40:19Just that little bit of damage.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22It's not necessarily on the spoon, but it is the condition of the box.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24It will limit its market.
0:40:24 > 0:40:25What about...
0:40:26 > 0:40:28..60?
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I think I'd be happy at 60.
0:40:30 > 0:40:31- I'm happy with 60.- Very welcome.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33- Thank you very much indeed. - Thank you.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37And the spoons round things off with a profit of £20,
0:40:37 > 0:40:39but will it be enough for The Hitman
0:40:39 > 0:40:42to hoist himself back into pole position?
0:40:42 > 0:40:44We'll find out in just a moment.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Our haggling hawks both went to market on that rainy day
0:40:47 > 0:40:51with £750 of their own cash to spend.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Jonty The Hitman Hearnden bought six items spending £268.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Cunning Catherine Southon also made six buys
0:40:59 > 0:41:03pushing the boat out into the rain and spending £380.
0:41:03 > 0:41:08But, with the bargains sold and all deals done,
0:41:08 > 0:41:11it's time to concentrate on the reason we're all here. Profit.
0:41:11 > 0:41:13All of the money Jonty and Catherine have made
0:41:13 > 0:41:16from today's challenge will go to charities of their choice.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20So, without further ado, it's time to find out
0:41:20 > 0:41:24who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:24 > 0:41:29- Hello, Jonty.- How are you? - Very well, thank you. And you?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31Have you got the medal that says
0:41:31 > 0:41:34I survived the antiques market thanks to the weather conditions?
0:41:34 > 0:41:36It was so cold.
0:41:36 > 0:41:39Everything was against us. But we battled through, we got there.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41We did. Star items?
0:41:41 > 0:41:45- Star items for me, do you remember those nautical things?- Yes.
0:41:45 > 0:41:48Well, I bought them, bought them for someone, he didn't want them,
0:41:48 > 0:41:51but I managed to sell them, it was all OK in the end.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54- And I've learnt a new sport. Bowls. - Very good.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56- I'm now an expert.- Are you?
0:41:56 > 0:41:57Yes, shall we see how we've done?
0:41:57 > 0:42:00- Well you can take up that if you don't win this.- After three.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02One, two, three.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05SHE SQUEALS
0:42:05 > 0:42:08I'm very pleased with that.
0:42:08 > 0:42:09Well done, you. Very good.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- Thank you, Jonty. - I guess I am taking up bowls.
0:42:12 > 0:42:13I think you are.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Yes, a convincing win for cunning Catherine.
0:42:18 > 0:42:20The Hitman's garden set clearly didn't do the business.
0:42:20 > 0:42:23Remember, he'd asked for £200.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Would you take 150?- 150.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Can I squeeze you a little bit more?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I'm not sure, Jonty.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32No? Was that your very best?
0:42:32 > 0:42:34The best offer.
0:42:34 > 0:42:35150?
0:42:35 > 0:42:37It's yours, madam.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40His charming ways failed him this time.
0:42:40 > 0:42:43The table and chairs brought in a profit of just £50.
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Very disappointed to lose to Catherine
0:42:47 > 0:42:52because antique markets are usually very happy hunting ground for me.
0:42:52 > 0:42:54So I was up against the elements.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Well, we were both up against the elements, but she came out on top.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02I am absolutely ecstatic that I have just beaten the old pro, Jonty.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Bring it on!
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Mmm, cunning Catherine can't celebrate just yet
0:43:08 > 0:43:11because there is a whole new challenge to face up to tomorrow.
0:43:11 > 0:43:15Our next epic encounter will rock the antique world.
0:43:15 > 0:43:17It's a mighty auction in Stroud.
