0:00:23 > 0:00:26Lovely! We've got some work to do, let's go.
0:00:26 > 0:00:31Putting their own money and their hard earned reputations on the line,
0:00:31 > 0:00:35as they see who can make the most money from buying and selling.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Get in there!

0:00:42 > 0:00:46the dealing dynamo of all things decorative,
0:00:46 > 0:00:50against Mark Franks, the wily warlord of wheeler-dealing.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Classing example of what to buy when you're in France.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00That's if the pressure doesn't get to you first.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05You get in panic moods, where you think, "I'm never going to find anything."
0:01:05 > 0:01:10And Franksy's profit making plans are put in peril when it matters most.
0:01:10 > 0:01:15- You're not going to have much luck here.- I'm just going to have a little cry somewhere.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17It's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Grab your gadgets and assume a new identity.
0:01:34 > 0:01:40The secret agents of the antiques world are on a mission of utmost importance.
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Brighton's mellifluous mastermind of memorabilia.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48He's sharp, he's sneaky and he's going all out for dealing domination.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51It's Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55It's a bit late really for Mark Franks to be looking at antique books now.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Versus London's audacious antiques assassin.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01He's street smart, he's a risk taker
0:02:01 > 0:02:04and he'll kill for something out of the ordinary.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- It's Mark 'Franksy' Franks.- Is there a profit? Can I make some money?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Our opposing operatives will be battling it out on foreign soil,
0:02:12 > 0:02:15at Porte de Vanves flea market in Paris.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18They're under orders to seek and capture the top targets
0:02:18 > 0:02:21they can sell on back home for the most money.
0:02:21 > 0:02:24No problem at all. It's a doddle.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28They've each got £750 worth of their own euros to spend
0:02:28 > 0:02:31and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:31 > 0:02:34Oh, gosh! No tongues, please!
0:02:34 > 0:02:39Mark Stacey and Mark Franks, it's time to Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- Tres jolie!- What have I just bought?
0:02:43 > 0:02:49- Oh-ho! Bonsoir.- Bonjour, even. Paris. Oh, I love it. Don't you?
0:02:49 > 0:02:51I've got to be honest with you,
0:02:51 > 0:02:55I've come to the most romantic city in the world and I'm with you!
0:02:55 > 0:03:00- You can't believe your luck! - Yeah, sorry about that. What are you going to buy today?
0:03:00 > 0:03:03I'm looking for quality at the right price.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06And something to make a big profit back in England.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09And to counter-balance what you normally buy!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11Today, I'm not buying wacky.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- I'm going to try and buy some good quality... - HE LAUGHS
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Sorry, Mark. Listen, did you see the flying pig there?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Good luck! PIG SNORTS
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Where's that pig? I can't see it.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Yes, ignore the jaunty joshing.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33This is a game of bluff and double bluff.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Both our undercover agents are desperate to beat each other
0:03:36 > 0:03:40in this mission of memorabilia. So who's got the master plan?
0:03:42 > 0:03:48When you're in France, it's very, very difficult to buy more unusual items.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Beautiful French mirrors, they sell so easily in the UK.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56There's so many bits and bobs, it's much cheaper in France.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00You might see me buying the same old stuff. So, yeah....
0:04:00 > 0:04:04It's going to be pretty samey, but I am here to win.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07Mark Stacey, watch out!
0:04:07 > 0:04:10The likely lad's got a clear strategy to come out on top today.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13But he's up against a man who knows his onions.
0:04:13 > 0:04:17I do love these sort of fairs. There's such a mixture.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21There's things for just a few euros and then for thousands of euros.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25I'm trying to find quality, but I've got to find the right buyers at home.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Something will speak to me.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30And something better start talking fast,
0:04:30 > 0:04:34as Mark Franks has already honed in on a potential purchase.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36Ca pin?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Oui. Ca pin.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40Ca pin - pine.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Look at the knot. Can you see the knots in the back?
0:04:43 > 0:04:48And on the door, beautiful knots. Look at that. Screaming French.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53- Cent vingt euro. - 120 euros. Is possible... Per cent, s'il vous plait?
0:04:53 > 0:04:55No cheque, cash!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Oh! Smell!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Ooh!
0:05:00 > 0:05:05As per, Franks is trying every trick in the book to get the price down.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Fini. Blimey O'Reilly!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Oui?- Oui.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14In love! With me cabinet!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Oh, he gets his way.
0:05:16 > 0:05:21Mark persuades the seller to part with the wardrobe for the equivalent of £100.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25I'm going to take the door off to show you. Look. OK.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Classic French hinges. Drops in there.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31You see the little bit sticking up? Drops on there.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33You've got beautiful big knots there.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37If you strip this back, it'll come up like brand new.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43The reason they used pine is because it was very cheap.
0:05:43 > 0:05:49They've painted it. It would have a paint effect on it, so it looks like a more expensive timber.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52It's 100 years old. She probably had it when she was a girl.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56It's nearly as old as Mark Stacey. I'm going to sell this at a profit.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01Franksy's taken the first target of the day, but the Maverick is hot on his heels.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08Well, I tell you what, I'm only five minutes in and I've found something.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13I'd love to tell you this was Rene Lalique, but it isn't.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14But it looks like Lalique.
0:06:14 > 0:06:20You've got that very typical sort of frosted glass with that deep opalescence inside there.
0:06:20 > 0:06:22It's absolutely charming.
0:06:22 > 0:06:27What I really like, if you look closely, it's a starfish.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33Date-wise, I think we're looking at the '20s, '30s. It could be contemporary to Lalique.
0:06:33 > 0:06:38I haven't really looked at it to see if it's marked. It might be one of the other smaller factories.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43I think it just says Made in France. So I reckon it's French.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Don't you?
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Mark claims the starfish bowl for £31.82,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51but only time will tell if he's been suckered.
0:06:54 > 0:07:00Both our booty-hunting super spies are off to a swift start in this covert assignment.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03But Franksy already has target number two in his sights.
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Isn't that absolutely gorgeous? It's oak.
0:07:09 > 0:07:13I would say it's probably about 100 years old. It's from a church.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Religious feel to it.
0:07:15 > 0:07:20- Lovely. Really nice. La marchand prix?- 100 euro.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25100 euros. Vous avec...?
0:07:25 > 0:07:28He hasn't got the little turn bit on the end there.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Quatre vingt.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34- Quatre vingt dix.- Quatre vingt dix. Vendu. Excellent.
0:07:34 > 0:07:38And Franksy goes for the chair despite the slight damage
0:07:38 > 0:07:41and settles with the seller at £81.82.
0:07:41 > 0:07:46It's got a very Arts and Crafts feel to it. We're looking about 1,900.
0:07:46 > 0:07:51Gothic revival. Beautiful. Late Victorian, early Edwardian.
0:07:51 > 0:07:55Stunning. Wouldn't that look good in your hallway?
0:07:55 > 0:07:57For £200, sir? Don't mind if I do!
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Having despatched two deals early in the day,
0:08:01 > 0:08:04our man on a mission is feeling on top of his game.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07PLAYS HARMONICA
0:08:07 > 0:08:12I'm going to live in France one day. I love being here.
0:08:12 > 0:08:14This is just a feast for the eyes.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Is that Mark Stacey as a child?
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Meow! Franksy's opposing operative isn't having such a good time.
0:08:21 > 0:08:28It seems the high prices at the market are stopping the Maverick from taking down potential targets.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31800 euros, he's asking for that.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33How much is this?
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Oh, 90.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- £250?!- Not expensive.- Cheap.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43No such trials for Franksy, however.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48He's already stalking his next target and it's not what you'd expect.
0:08:48 > 0:08:53- Just never seen anything like it, have you?- No, not really, Mark.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56It's only put together with staples, quite crudely.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00But what a lovely, lovely thing.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- Cinquante.- Cinquante.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04- Quarante?- Oui.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Vendu. C'est bon.
0:09:06 > 0:09:11£36.36 may be a lot for some stapled together logs,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14but Franksy seems to know what he's doing.
0:09:14 > 0:09:19Silver birch. It's not old. But picture the scene.
0:09:19 > 0:09:25In a garden, just sitting in a garden, slowly but surely rotting.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Well! Now it all makes sense, Mark.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32Franksy's now captured three targets this morning. He's on fire.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36And Mark Stacey had better watch out,
0:09:36 > 0:09:40as our antiques assassin is moving in for yet another kill.
0:09:40 > 0:09:45This originally would have been on the corner of a bath.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49How lovely is that?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53It's made of cast iron.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55It's got plenty of age.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58It's been stripped and repainted and the rust is coming through.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Absolutely stunning.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03There's a set of four...
0:10:03 > 0:10:07- Combien?- Er, 150.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Quatre-vingts.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13They are quite rare. But...it's yours.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15- Yes?- Yes, it's OK.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Ooh, a stupendous strike! The London lad
0:10:19 > 0:10:23has nearly halved the asking price, getting the bath feet for...
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Lovely. Lovely, lovely, lovely. Get me another set - bet you can't.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33It's another item in the bag for Mark,
0:10:33 > 0:10:37and this is turning into a real "tour de Franksy force"!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40He's now spotted his fifth potential purchase...!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45What a lovely thing!
0:10:45 > 0:10:47It's a dog...
0:10:47 > 0:10:51with a silver ear, silver eyes, silver nose -
0:10:51 > 0:10:55beautiful, little beady glass eyes, look at that.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00This part's leather, and it's topped by silver at either end.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04It's 100 years old. Donnez un prix?
0:11:04 > 0:11:05- 180?- 180, yeah.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08- My best offer would be 150.- OK.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Oui?
0:11:09 > 0:11:14Franksy cracks a deal on the riding crop for...
0:11:15 > 0:11:18You can't not love this.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20I love it.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Five deals done, and Franksy's all over this market,
0:11:23 > 0:11:26like an antique-seeking bloodhound!
0:11:26 > 0:11:30I hear Franksy's doing quite well, so I'm getting even more anxious,
0:11:30 > 0:11:34as I'm seeing lots of items but no potential buyers,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38and not an awful lot of profit. Please, come on, bargains!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41# I was lost in France... #
0:11:41 > 0:11:43The Maverick's really struggling here -
0:11:43 > 0:11:47unable to find the right pieces, he's starting to lose his focus.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Sometimes I forget myself and start wandering around aimlessly.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Have I lost the plot? Probably.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Oh, Mark! Don't succumb to self-doubt!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01Your rival might seize the advantage!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Now, the guy wants 10 euros for this, and it says,
0:12:04 > 0:12:08the British Racing Sports Car Club. Now, I'm wondering whether
0:12:08 > 0:12:12the British Racing Sports Car Club might want to buy this back,
0:12:12 > 0:12:15put it in their trophy cabinet, I don't know.
0:12:15 > 0:12:1910 euros - I'll see if I can get it a bit cheaper. Now, this one...
0:12:19 > 0:12:22is just elegant, this is wheel cup.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26If you imagine a wheel spinning really fast, and as they touch it,
0:12:26 > 0:12:29it makes these marks - that's what's made that.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32It's got a P on it - just got to find somebody
0:12:32 > 0:12:36whose name begins with P who'd want to buy it.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- Right - combien les deux? - Dix, pour vous.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- C'est vendu!- It's a crystal clear deal on the glasses!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Five euros each. Come on!
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I paid more than that for a coffee yesterday - that's a fact!
0:12:52 > 0:12:56It's midway in this mission for memorabilia, and time to see
0:12:56 > 0:12:58who's the next 007...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- HELICOPTER WHIRRS - Ah, my helicopter to take me home!
0:13:01 > 0:13:04..and who should be dialling 999.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07Each of our deadly dealers came armed with £750 worth
0:13:07 > 0:13:09of their own euros to spend today.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey is struggling.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17He's only captured one target all morning, spending...
0:13:17 > 0:13:21leaving him with a whopping £718.18 in his kitty.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Mark 'Franksy' Franks, however, is on fire!
0:13:26 > 0:13:30He's racked up an impressive six deals so far, spending...
0:13:30 > 0:13:34leaving him with £313.64 to play with.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42But this international assignment is only just beginning,
0:13:42 > 0:13:44there's everything still to fight for,
0:13:44 > 0:13:48and our operatives are keeping a very close eye on each other.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52- If you want to get ahead, get a hat! - I was just thinking,
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- he's lost weight! - If only, should I say?!
0:13:55 > 0:13:59- It's great fun, isn't it?- Y-yeah... It's pretty scary.- Would you buy it?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02- Not for me - this is for me. - What have you bought?
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Look at that beauty - isn't he lovely?
0:14:04 > 0:14:06What is all the silver bits on there?
0:14:06 > 0:14:09- It's called decoration, my dear. - Ah!- Decoration.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13Unlike that - it's not decorative at all! How much have you bought?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- I need to find lots more - lots, lots more.- Put that down, trot on.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- See you later.- See you later. Bye.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22He's looking terribly confident, isn't he? I'm a bit worried now.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26# Uh-oh, we're in trouble
0:14:26 > 0:14:29# Something's come along and it's burst our bubble... #
0:14:29 > 0:14:31The Maverick is way behind his rival.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Trying to light myself up with an idea here.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38Unless he strikes soon, he'll have failed his secret mission,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41and could be headed for a desk job on Civvy Street.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Nothing's grabbing me. You know you get in these panic moods,
0:14:45 > 0:14:47where you think, "I'm never going to find anything,"
0:14:47 > 0:14:51then you start buying the wrong thing - I have to keep myself in check.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55After hours of dithering, The Maverick spots something substantial
0:14:55 > 0:14:59that he hopes will take a bite out of Franksy's massive lead.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01How much is this?
0:15:01 > 0:15:04- One hundred.- 100 euros?
0:15:05 > 0:15:08This is... I know it looks late 19th century, but...
0:15:08 > 0:15:13It's rather charming. I wonder if we can get him a bit cheaper.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- 80.- 80 euros. Done.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Oh! At last, The Maverick makes his second purchase,
0:15:19 > 0:15:21snapping up the dog's head cane for...
0:15:23 > 0:15:26This is going to be interesting, because Mark Franks
0:15:26 > 0:15:30was very perky about his little bulldog, and I've bought a greyhound,
0:15:30 > 0:15:32and I think he's lovely.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Silver, 80 euros - about £70.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37It will be interesting to see how much he paid for his.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40Mark's rival isn't worried about what he's spent -
0:15:40 > 0:15:43having bought so many items early on, our London lad
0:15:43 > 0:15:47reckons he can afford to have a good time.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51# Celebrate good times, come on... #
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I love it.
0:15:55 > 0:15:59I could spend all day long buying items, no problem at all.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Every village has one!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05And they always find me! C'est bon.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Au revoir!
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Franksy might be loving it, but The Maverick has only bought two items
0:16:11 > 0:16:12and is still way behind.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16Gosh, no, I'm really panicking now, because I've done the whole market,
0:16:16 > 0:16:20time is pushing on, and I've still got several items I need to find.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23Everywhere is so expensive, this is the thing.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26I'm happy to spend lots of euros,
0:16:26 > 0:16:28but it has to be on something that I think is worth it,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32and at the moment, I'm not finding those things.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Oh! In the face of intense pressure, Brighton's version of Bond
0:16:35 > 0:16:37is losing his nerve -
0:16:37 > 0:16:41at this rate he might self-destruct in five seconds!
0:16:41 > 0:16:45# Maybe I'm crazy
0:16:45 > 0:16:48# Maybe you're crazy... #
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Is that a Mark Stacey doll or what? Look...
0:16:53 > 0:16:57"Ooh, help, help, Franksy, will you help me?!
0:16:57 > 0:17:00"I can't find anything! Help, help, help!"
0:17:00 > 0:17:04The Maverick at last homes in on a chair,
0:17:04 > 0:17:07but is it the piece that will lighten his mood?
0:17:07 > 0:17:10You see, I don't know how this works.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13MAN SPEAKS FRENCH Show me.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17Ah, I see...! Ah, oui!
0:17:17 > 0:17:20Can you do it for 40 euros?
0:17:20 > 0:17:2240. 40, come on.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- 45.- Look, I'm running out of time. 40 euros...
0:17:27 > 0:17:28- OK.- Done.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32The dealer folds on the folding chair at...
0:17:32 > 0:17:35The Maverick must be delighted!
0:17:35 > 0:17:39What have I just bought? What have I bought?!
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Some sort of folding chair with a...
0:17:41 > 0:17:4440 euros. I'm mad.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Regardless of the Maverick's mental state, he can't stop now,
0:17:47 > 0:17:52as it's one o'clock, and the market is starting to wind down.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54I've just found a few silver bits here.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57This one is very typically art deco.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Not ideally priced, but if I was buying more than one thing,
0:18:02 > 0:18:06we might be able to negotiate it down. They shouldn't be hard to sell.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- 70.- 70?- That's it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13That's about £65, which really is probably what they're worth,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16so there's not a huge profit in it, but quite honestly,
0:18:16 > 0:18:20I thought I had all the time in the world, and I ain't!
0:18:20 > 0:18:24They're all packing up and deserting me!
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- You said 70. I think we've got a deal.- That's fine!
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- Thank you very much. Merci beaucoup. - Don't mention it!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Mark puts a lid on negotiations at...
0:18:35 > 0:18:39The Maverick's valiantly attempting to fight back against Franksy.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Ah! It's rather sweet.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45But after a difficult day, he's now wrestling with serious doubts.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49The more you look around, your judgment just goes.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I'm actually contemplating buying this.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It is a bit of kitsch, and it's a bit of camp kitsch.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59- Merci, monsieur. Thank you.- Thank you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03Mr Stacey buys the frame for £7.27, but it doesn't strike him
0:19:03 > 0:19:05as a contest-winning item.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09I'm really scraping, aren't I? Look, I've bought a tatty old
0:19:09 > 0:19:11piece of wood covered in velvet, and I think
0:19:11 > 0:19:14with a little bit of cleaning and tidying up,
0:19:14 > 0:19:18we could make something camp and very Brighton out of that.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21The Maverick may have a plan for his purchase,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24but Franksy is taking a little trip down Memory Lane.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27This takes me back - "Oh, thank you, Nan!
0:19:27 > 0:19:30"It's just what I wanted for Christmas!"
0:19:32 > 0:19:35The funny thing is, this is now...
0:19:35 > 0:19:38really, really fashionable.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Are you sure about that, Franksy?
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Good quality, merci beaucoup.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45Franksy buys the jumper for £4.55 -
0:19:45 > 0:19:48at least it'll keep him warm if he can't sell it.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50It's fashionable.
0:19:50 > 0:19:55The Maverick may have rallied in the final stages of this buying mission,
0:19:55 > 0:19:58but he still has loads of euros to spend.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02He's spied a desk lamp, but will it brighten his chances of victory?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06It is just wonderfully French, and wonderfully over-the-top.
0:20:06 > 0:20:11If you start at the base, it's domed, with these lovely sort of...
0:20:11 > 0:20:15wreath design in the panels here, with this rather shaped border.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Then you've got a little thing here, which adjusts
0:20:18 > 0:20:22the position of the stem here.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26Then coming up here, you've got a wonderfully elegant little capital,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31of two swans, and again, that lovely French decoration.
0:20:31 > 0:20:36I'd say something like this, retail, done up and working in England,
0:20:36 > 0:20:39would be worth £250-£300.
0:20:39 > 0:20:40That's more like it.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44The Maverick thinks the lamp has profit-making potential,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47so he does a deal on it for...
0:20:49 > 0:20:51The quality speaks for itself,
0:20:51 > 0:20:55and let's hope I can switch on a little bit of a profit.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58A luminous late deal for the Brighton boy,
0:20:58 > 0:21:01and not a moment too soon - the sellers are shutting up shop
0:21:01 > 0:21:06and it's time to say au revoir to this special assignment.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Our memorabilia masterminds each started the day
0:21:11 > 0:21:14with £750 worth of their own euros.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17In a dramatic comeback, Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey ends the day
0:21:17 > 0:21:21having done six deals and spending a total of...
0:21:24 > 0:21:28Mark 'Franksy' Franks was quick to pick off targets early on,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32and finishes with seven items, having spent a total of...
0:21:32 > 0:21:37But this game is all about who will make the most profit.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41Treasures targeted and mission over,
0:21:41 > 0:21:45it's time for our operatives to see who ended up with what.
0:21:45 > 0:21:50Amazing. A really big fair, we spent most of the day completely apart -
0:21:50 > 0:21:53we've both bought chairs, sticks and glass.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57- It's almost as if we planned it.- I'll tell you what you didn't buy, Mark.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- That little baby.- Why?
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- I think it's smashing. - Well, you know your lumps of wood!
0:22:03 > 0:22:07- That...is lovely.- I'm over the moon with that, a good gentleman's item.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- Woof-woof!- Yes!
0:22:09 > 0:22:13- When I saw this I thought of you, with an S on it.- S for superior!
0:22:13 > 0:22:15Yeah, you're quite right, actually!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- What about my steamer chair?- I love that, I don't understand that.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23I thought actually I could tart that up a bit, give it a hoover down.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26But I bought something for less than eight euros,
0:22:26 > 0:22:30- it's been ironed over a barrel, but what do you think?!- Well,
0:22:30 > 0:22:33I know retro's in, Mark, but that's pushing it, isn't it?
0:22:33 > 0:22:35- Look!- Five euros.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37And you didn't get me one? Thanks(!)
0:22:37 > 0:22:40- They only had medium, not large. - Ooh-hoo!
0:22:40 > 0:22:43You're living it large in that!
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Our antiques secret agents must now gear up for the
0:22:51 > 0:22:54second part of their mission, where things get a lot harder.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Our brave boys have picked out their pieces over in Paris,
0:22:58 > 0:23:02and now they must deploy them back here on home soil,
0:23:02 > 0:23:06and whoever makes the most profit will defeat their arch enemy
0:23:06 > 0:23:09and take today's title.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Down in Brighton, Mark 'The Maverick' Stacey
0:23:12 > 0:23:15is made up with his foreign finds.
0:23:15 > 0:23:18I love Paris, I love that market.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22It's small, it's compact, but it was rather expensive,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and I didn't buy the things I really wanted to buy, but...
0:23:25 > 0:23:28this was the first thing I bought, I bought in haste,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32and they say repent at leisure, and I noticed a small chip underneath,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35and I hope that won't affect my profits too much.
0:23:35 > 0:23:40This is a throw-away item, I don't know why I bought it - eight euros.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44These are my lovely silver-topped bedroom jars.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46I've just realised I paid 70 euros for them -
0:23:46 > 0:23:50I'd rather I'd left them in Paris, but that's another story.
0:23:50 > 0:23:54This I'm very pleased with, a wonderful quality desk lamp,
0:23:54 > 0:23:58I've got someone in mind on that - hopefully make a big profit.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03And I love the steamer or planter's chair, which is nice to relax in
0:24:03 > 0:24:04on a summer's day with a G&T.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Mark and I both bought dog-related items.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10But I think mine's the better one, don't you?
0:24:10 > 0:24:14I think he was green with envy when he saw mine.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18Yes, Mr Stacey means business! But up in London town,
0:24:18 > 0:24:23there's a certain streetwise dealer who wants to put a stop to his plans
0:24:23 > 0:24:25for antique-dealing domination.
0:24:25 > 0:24:28At the French market, I went a bit wacky-wacky.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31I bought the birch chair - pretty new, but nice.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34I bought a motor racing glass,
0:24:34 > 0:24:37and I'll need to do some homework on that.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40And there was a nice glass with a P on it - so cheap.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Also, there was a lovely, pine, French armoire -
0:24:44 > 0:24:46smashing!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49The Victorian Gothic chair with the cream-coloured seat -
0:24:49 > 0:24:51that is a good piece.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55And those big, cast-iron bath feet - mmm...
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Did I do really good there? I'm not sure.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01The jumper - love it or hate it,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I think it's a winner.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06But by far my favourite item
0:25:06 > 0:25:11is Monsieur...Doggy-Do Riding Whip.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14What did you think of Mark Stacey's item? "Rufff!"
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Rough. Yeah, I thought so, too.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22Oh, he's incorrigible! Now, our agents must set to work
0:25:22 > 0:25:25lining up buyers, knowing that no deal is truly sealed
0:25:25 > 0:25:28until they get that final handshake.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31It's The Maverick who's first off the mark.
0:25:31 > 0:25:34He's in his home town of Brighton, which he hopes will be
0:25:34 > 0:25:37the perfect place to sell his starfish bowl.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40I'm just around the corner from my shop,
0:25:40 > 0:25:43to see Jeremy, who runs the Bespoke Hotel.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47He's expressed an interest in my art deco bowl for a very specific reason.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Let's go and find out whether it works.
0:25:50 > 0:25:53Mark paid £31.82 for the starfish bowl,
0:25:53 > 0:25:58but will it suit Jeremy's plans and give The Maverick that first sale?
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Well, Mark, here we are. This is the room that I had in mind.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- Very 30s, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08Fantastic room, it's a period piece that suits it.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12- What are your thoughts?- I like it. I can see it working in this room.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14I bought it in a bit of a hurry.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18And what I didn't notice, which I'm going to point out to you now,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21is that one of the little suckers has a little chip on it.
0:26:21 > 0:26:23- Is it there?- Yes, that's it, there it is.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27Will the damaged sucker scupper the maverick's chances of a sale?
0:26:27 > 0:26:32I think what I'd be very comfortable paying you for it is £40.
0:26:32 > 0:26:38- £40. I would be happier if we could get to 45.- It's a deal.- Fantastic.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43The starfish bowl nets Mr Stacey a profit of £13.18.
0:26:43 > 0:26:49He's got that first sale in the bag and he's one up on his rival.
0:26:54 > 0:26:59Which is just as well, as our likely lad is aiming to sell his wardrobe and oak chair together.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02And he's brought them to South London
0:27:02 > 0:27:04to show friend and fellow dealer, Helen.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09- So what does she make of them? - I really like the cupboard.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Pretty, typical French
0:27:12 > 0:27:15and it will go into any alcove in any bedroom, so good size.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19- Smashing.- But as the chair, you can't actually sit on it.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22- It has springs that are all sort of there.- It sounds painful. - It is!
0:27:22 > 0:27:26Have you tried sitting on it yourself?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29It does need re-upholstering.
0:27:29 > 0:27:34Franksy paid £100 for the wardrobe and £81.82 for the chair.
0:27:34 > 0:27:38But can he persuade Helen into providing him a profit?
0:27:38 > 0:27:40I don't really want to sell one without the other.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42I would like you to make me an offer,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45taking that as it is and that as it is.
0:27:47 > 0:27:51- 250.- Gosh.
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Could you squeeze on another tenner because I do feel that
0:27:54 > 0:27:55I need to haggle somewhat.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59- Fine, it's very stylish. It'll look good in the window.- Deal.
0:28:01 > 0:28:04With that little push, Mark makes a £60 profit on the wardrobe
0:28:04 > 0:28:07and a profit of £18.18 on the chair.
0:28:07 > 0:28:08The boy's done well!
0:28:10 > 0:28:13I'm really pleased with that result.
0:28:13 > 0:28:17It wasn't a huge profit but everyone has to make a living.
0:28:17 > 0:28:22Mr Stacey, are you making a living or are you snoring in your bed?
0:28:22 > 0:28:23Oh, far from it, Franksy!
0:28:23 > 0:28:27In fact, The Maverick has got plans to run away with victory.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31He is visiting the Brighton and Hove greyhound stadium,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33hoping to get a sale on his dog's head cane.
0:28:41 > 0:28:42I hope I'm on track to make a profit.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I'm going to find the manager and see what happens.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Mark paid £72.73 for the cane,
0:28:50 > 0:28:54but will the general manager bite his hand off?
0:28:54 > 0:28:57I couldn't think of a better place to try and sell this
0:28:57 > 0:28:58than here at Brighton dogs.
0:28:58 > 0:29:03And you won't believe where I got it from. I bought that in Paris.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- That is a beautiful piece of art. - It's lovely.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10It is hallmarked, there's the mark there.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13But it's a continental hallmark, so it was made,
0:29:13 > 0:29:17I think, probably around about 1900, 1910.
0:29:17 > 0:29:23- I was hoping to get somewhere around £200 for it.- Yes.- Hit me with it.
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- With the actual stick? - Hopefully not with that.
0:29:26 > 0:29:33- How about £150 to start off with? - Could you go to 175?- I think so.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35- Can we? Thank you very much.- £175.
0:29:35 > 0:29:39Mark Stacey races further away from his rival
0:29:39 > 0:29:41with a profit of £102.27 on the cane.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47After that profit, I think I'm odds-on favourite to win, don't you?
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Oh, hooray for The Maverick!
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Franksy needs to fight that, and he's headed to Surrey
0:29:54 > 0:29:59armed with what can only be described as sartorial perfection.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02# He's a dedicated follower of fashion... #
0:30:02 > 0:30:04Franksy's jumper cost him £4.55,
0:30:04 > 0:30:09and he's hoping vintage collector Angela will be bowled over by it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:14When I saw this, I thought, that is pretty cool. What do you think?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17I don't know if I should be insulted or not really but...
0:30:19 > 0:30:22It's not my thing, really.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23It's a good joke present for Christmas, though.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25Yeah, I could go with you for that one.
0:30:25 > 0:30:27But definitely only at Christmas, I'm reckoning.
0:30:27 > 0:30:31- I'll cut a deal for you then. - I'm getting worried now.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34I'd give you a tenner for it for Christmas.
0:30:34 > 0:30:38And if you will wear it every day for the next week, I'll give you 20.
0:30:38 > 0:30:42- Every day for the next week?!- Mmm. - It's a bit tight round the old...
0:30:42 > 0:30:43We can give it a bit of a tug.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48- What about 15 and I don't have to wear it?- No.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Tenner, I can't wear it every day of the week.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54You've had me over there, that's a lovely jumper. Do you like it?
0:30:54 > 0:30:56- Beautiful.- You like it? - No, not at all.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01Oh, dear, Franksy's been hoist by his own woolly petard
0:31:01 > 0:31:03and makes a profit of just £5.45 on the jumper.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09What a great jumper, what a lovely lady, what a nice profit.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Small, but every penny counts.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16The London lad never gives up.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Next, he's hoping for a sale of one of the two glasses
0:31:19 > 0:31:22he bought in Paris for a total of £9.09.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25He's come to Kent to meet racing driver Rod.
0:31:26 > 0:31:29When I bought this, I didn't really know too much
0:31:29 > 0:31:33about the British Racing and Sports Car Cup.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36So you seem to be the man with the trophies.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Have you won all these or do you collect them all what's the story?
0:31:38 > 0:31:43No, I've won all of these. I've been racing since 1973.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49- You're good at it. How many trophies have you got in total?- 530.- Wow!
0:31:49 > 0:31:54I think 530 is such a dodgy number. 531 is a much better number.
0:31:54 > 0:31:57It would be nice to add to your collection.
0:31:57 > 0:31:59Yeah, we've got the bigger brothers here.
0:31:59 > 0:32:01Unfortunately, yours is a smaller version
0:32:02 > 0:32:05and it's without a wooden plaque.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- Give me your best bid.- £20.- £20. Rod, you've got a deal.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11- I'll accept that. I think that's fair.- I've given you too much then?
0:32:11 > 0:32:13- No, you haven't. - OK, well it does complete the set
0:32:13 > 0:32:17so it goes there with its bigger twin brother.
0:32:17 > 0:32:20Franksy also sells his other glass to a friend
0:32:20 > 0:32:25and makes a total profit on both glasses of £20.91.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28We're now halfway in this race for profit.
0:32:28 > 0:32:31And it's time to see who's stuck in the traps
0:32:31 > 0:32:33and who's speeding their way to victory.
0:32:36 > 0:32:39So far, Mark "The Maverick" Stacey has done two deals
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and made a profit of £115.45.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46Mark "Franksy" Franks has sold four of his items
0:32:46 > 0:32:50but has made slightly less profit, £104.54.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57But this mission still has a long way to go.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Our brave boys now need to do all they can
0:32:59 > 0:33:04to maximise their profits and take today's title.
0:33:04 > 0:33:06The Maverick has got the most in his profit pot so far
0:33:06 > 0:33:08and this antiques mastermind
0:33:08 > 0:33:11has plans to stay out in front of his rival.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Remember my last purchase from the Paris market,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16that wonderful Edwardian desk lamp?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I really love it, I think it screams quality.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22I know the person I've got in mind to buy it also screams quality.
0:33:22 > 0:33:28The big question, though...is it going to illuminate me a big profit?
0:33:28 > 0:33:30I hope so, because I do need it.
0:33:30 > 0:33:36The lamp cost a pricey £154.55, so he's hoping his friend Philip
0:33:36 > 0:33:40will take a shine to it and be willing to offer him more.
0:33:40 > 0:33:44Listen, in Paris I spotted this, it was a last-minute purchase
0:33:44 > 0:33:45because it just screamed quality.
0:33:46 > 0:33:48It's obviously an Edwardian desk lamp.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Terribly French, it couldn't be anything other than French,
0:33:52 > 0:33:55you know, with all this declaration, the swans entwined there.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58As you say, you can tell it's a piece of quality. Do you like it?
0:33:58 > 0:34:01I do, a lot. You can tell it's a piece of quality.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Well, it seems Philip's keen,
0:34:03 > 0:34:08but he'll also need to get the lamp rewired and safety checked
0:34:08 > 0:34:09in order to use it here in the UK.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11So will he go for it?
0:34:11 > 0:34:15I was looking for somewhere around about 300 for it.
0:34:17 > 0:34:20No! That's 10 bottles of champagne, Mark, that we could be having!
0:34:20 > 0:34:24I was looking at around the 200, 210 mark.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29Has anybody got a stool? I need to sit down, I think!
0:34:29 > 0:34:36- I tell you what, £250. - 245, and you've got a deal.- 245.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39And I think you are probably still then making a pretty penny on me,
0:34:39 > 0:34:42knowing what you're like.
0:34:42 > 0:34:46I'll have to consider this. I've considered, thank you.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49Thank you, Mark.
0:34:49 > 0:34:53Well, Philip wasn't far wrong and The Maverick
0:34:53 > 0:34:58brightens his chances of winning with a profit of £90.45 on the lamp.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03Another successful sale carried on and another decent amount of profit.
0:35:03 > 0:35:08So I'm cooking on gas. I hope you are doing as well, Mark.
0:35:08 > 0:35:12Why, Mr S, it's so unlike you to gloat!
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Franksy may be trailing in the profit stakes
0:35:14 > 0:35:18but he's chasing a change in fortune in Carshalton in Surrey.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21Do you remember my silver birch chair I bought in Paris?
0:35:21 > 0:35:27Well I've dropped it off to my mate, and his name is Beech. Birch, Beech.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30It's a tenuous link but he's actually got a lovely garden
0:35:30 > 0:35:34and I hope he's going to buy it for himself or his wife.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Fingers crossed there could be a profit in the making!
0:35:37 > 0:35:42The chair cost Mark £36.36, so will Mr Beech warmed to Franksy's
0:35:42 > 0:35:44bit of birch?
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Mr Beech, can I introduce you to Mr Birch.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49You've got a beautiful garden here
0:35:49 > 0:35:53and I thought tucked away in the corner, just sitting there,
0:35:53 > 0:35:55a bit of ivy growing on it, it would look fabulous.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I've showed it to a couple of people and I've not had much luck.
0:35:57 > 0:36:02- Any interest at all?- Well, you are not going to have much luck here.
0:36:02 > 0:36:05- Great(!)- This chair is certainly not for sitting on.
0:36:07 > 0:36:12It's got very interesting nailed joints. Six inch nail there.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15There's one there. But decorative.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20It's not for me,
0:36:20 > 0:36:23but I've got a friend who lives in France in a very rustic house.
0:36:23 > 0:36:23OK.
0:36:23 > 0:36:28Who I think would quite appreciate it, they'd put it in the corner.
0:36:28 > 0:36:33- Make me an offer, you are one of my last hopes.- My first and final bid.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- This is a take it or leave it? - Yes.- Go on then.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- With a very low take it or leave it. - Go on then.
0:36:40 > 0:36:44I'll give you a tenner for it. That's stopped you in your tracks.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48Yeah. That's wiped the smile off my face.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I have little choice but to shake your hand. It's a deal.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52- Thank you very much.- Do I get a cup of coffee, though?- You certainly do.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Come on then.- Oh, disaster!
0:36:55 > 0:36:59Franksy decides he's got to accept Mr Beech's offer of £10,
0:36:59 > 0:37:00and that is a loss of £26.36.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04I lost money on the chair.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09But it's going to be given as a gift to somebody, so you win some,
0:37:09 > 0:37:10you lose some.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12Well, you need to do some more winning then, Franksy,
0:37:12 > 0:37:18as you're behind your rival and time is running out in today's contest.
0:37:18 > 0:37:22Back on the south coast, The Maverick is hoping to sell
0:37:22 > 0:37:27the battered old frame which cost £7.27 to fellow dealer, Peter.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Oh, my goodness! It's a little bit battered.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37I prefer to call it needing a little TLC. All the bits are there.
0:37:37 > 0:37:40I think it might be a Edwardian, 1900-ish.
0:37:40 > 0:37:44- Have you seen anything quite like this?- Never. Absolutely never.
0:37:44 > 0:37:49- You see, it's a unique item. - You've got fleas in at all?
0:37:49 > 0:37:51- No, I've been in it with a vacuum. - Thank you.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55- It's not terribly expensive.- You mean it's going to cost me money?
0:37:55 > 0:38:02Oh, yes. I thought maybe around £15-£20. Because it does need
0:38:02 > 0:38:04a little bit of...
0:38:04 > 0:38:11A little bit? It needs an awful lot! This is my favourite number.
0:38:11 > 0:38:18- Which is 12.- Oh, £12. My lucky number is 13.- I couldn't do that, no.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22- No.- Then we'll do 14.- All right, then we'll do 14.- Done.- Done.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27The Maverick makes £6.73 on the old frame
0:38:27 > 0:38:31and sells the Art Deco jars for a tiny profit of £1.36.
0:38:31 > 0:38:35Such small profits surely suggest that this is going to be one
0:38:35 > 0:38:36close-run competition.
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Mr Stacey is now left with just one item to sell,
0:38:40 > 0:38:44and he's brought his final French find to Lewes, in east Sussex.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48# Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the mid-day sun... #
0:38:48 > 0:38:51So will antiques dealer Andre take a fancy to The Maverick's
0:38:51 > 0:38:56folding chair, which cost him £36.36?
0:38:56 > 0:38:58I bought it thinking it was
0:38:58 > 0:39:00a steamer chair, but what do you think?
0:39:00 > 0:39:05I would say it's more a chair that came from a conservatory.
0:39:05 > 0:39:09From a sort of turn-of-the-century hotel with a little veranda.
0:39:09 > 0:39:14- It is decorative.- And it's in good condition.- It's in good condition.
0:39:14 > 0:39:15I kind of like it.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19I was rather hoping for something like £120 for it.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21- I don't think I could go that high.- OK.
0:39:21 > 0:39:27- I think it would be more sort of £55-£60.- I need to sell it.
0:39:27 > 0:39:31- Do you think we could...?- Can we shake at 60?- I'm happy with 60.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32Thank you very much.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36The Maverick settles down with a profit of £23.64 on the chair.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39And with that, he's all sold up.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43As dusk approaches on today's competition,
0:39:43 > 0:39:48Franksy has got one final chance to pull victory out of the bag.
0:39:48 > 0:39:53As the sun sets on Stoneleigh, I'm here to see my mate Gavin.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56I've already dropped off my French bath feet
0:39:56 > 0:40:01and also my doggie whip, as in the whip with the dog on the head.
0:40:01 > 0:40:05I'm hoping that he's going to give me a nice profit. Come and find out.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09With the clock ticking,
0:40:09 > 0:40:12will dealer Gavin be interested in buying Mark's last two items?
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Our boy has spent £136.36 on the riding crop
0:40:16 > 0:40:19and £72.73 on the bath feet.
0:40:21 > 0:40:25Four lovely bath feet, oversized, cast-iron, great condition.
0:40:25 > 0:40:26Tell me what you think.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29I like these, they are good quality, aren't they? Nicely cast.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32Could be up-lighters, could be planters.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- Yeah, there's lots of opportunities. - Maybe not that old but, you know.
0:40:37 > 0:40:42- The whip's nice, isn't it? I like that.- It is, yeah.- Glass eyes.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44Silver mounted. Good thing.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49It sounds positive but will Gavin give Franksy a moneymaking
0:40:49 > 0:40:51offer for his last two items?
0:40:51 > 0:40:55Will it be enough to beat The Maverick? All will soon be revealed.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Mark and Mark both started this contest
0:40:58 > 0:41:02with £750 worth of their own euros to spend.
0:41:02 > 0:41:08Mark "The Maverick" Stacey did six deals, spending a total of £366.37.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12Mark "Franksy" Franks finished with seven purchases,
0:41:12 > 0:41:16having spent £440.91.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19But all that matters now is who's made the most profit.
0:41:20 > 0:41:23All the money that the two Marks have made today
0:41:23 > 0:41:24will go to the charities of their choice.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27So, without further ado,
0:41:27 > 0:41:28let's find out who is today's
0:41:28 > 0:41:31Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35- Bonjour, Monsieur Franks.- Comme ce vous le parlez-vous?- Mangetout.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39- How are you?- Oh, yes, not bad. That was hard work, wasn't it?- It was.
0:41:39 > 0:41:42I tell you what, I've done really well with the wardrobe,
0:41:42 > 0:41:43really well with the Gothic chair.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47- Yeah.- And other than that, I didn't do any good at all.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48Well, I was delighted.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52That walking cane with the dog's head, that ran away.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55Overall, anything with quality, of course which I bought,
0:41:55 > 0:41:56sailed away with profit.
0:41:56 > 0:42:00- I shouldn't smile, should I?- No, make the most of it.- Shall we?
0:42:00 > 0:42:02Come on then. One, two, three go.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Agh!- Nine. Mark, really!
0:42:07 > 0:42:10- You slightly beat me. - I did slightly, didn't I?- Wow.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- But actually, a profit is a profit, - Mark. Don't be facetious.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- And it's still enough money to buy me lunch.- Come.
0:42:17 > 0:42:21So Mark Stacey is today's winner, and why?
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Well, Franksy's deal on the riding crop
0:42:23 > 0:42:27and the bath feet didn't deliver the profit so desperately needed.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I have little choice, Gavin. I do hope you make a good profit.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33I'm just going to go and have a little cry somewhere.
0:42:33 > 0:42:38- He made a loss on the bath feet of £27.73.- Oh, dear.
0:42:40 > 0:42:44And a crushing loss on the whip of £41.36.
0:42:44 > 0:42:48A dealing disaster which led to a decisive victory for the Maverick.
0:42:50 > 0:42:54That Paris market came up trumps for me. The walking stick raced ahead.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58And Mark made lots and lots of losses.
0:42:58 > 0:42:59I shouldn't laugh really.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02Now, all the stuff I bought in France I was really pleased with.
0:43:02 > 0:43:05But when it comes to selling it, I just kept drawing blanks.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08Nobody wanted to spend any money.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12Mark Stacey, you wiped the floor with me.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Well, he may have been crushed by The Maverick today
0:43:15 > 0:43:17but things could all change for Franksy tomorrow...
0:43:17 > 0:43:20I want to spend a lot of money.
0:43:20 > 0:43:23..as our experts go all-out for ultimate victory
0:43:23 > 0:43:25in the Put Your Money Where Your Mouth is showdown.
