0:00:46 > 0:00:50'Coming up, Mark pedals his wares on the road to victory.'
0:00:50 > 0:00:53I'm determined to beat Catherine.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'Catherine gets up close and personal.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59When you get a bit closer to them, you normally get your price!
0:00:59 > 0:01:03'And Mark's salesmanship proves a bit of a drag.'
0:01:03 > 0:01:06I don't really like ostentatious jewellery, darling!
0:01:06 > 0:01:10'This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.'

0:01:33 > 0:01:36'First up, the quintessentially charming gentlemen,
0:01:36 > 0:01:39'armed to the teeth with a barrel-load of antiques knowledge...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45'Versus the blonde bombshell with an arresting personality,
0:01:45 > 0:01:48'who'll do anything to get her price...
0:01:50 > 0:01:54'Today, they've gone undercover, landing in mainland Europe -
0:01:54 > 0:01:56'Belgium, to be precise.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59'The mystery our experts must unravel is to find the best bargains
0:01:59 > 0:02:04'from two markets in Brussels, then sell them on at a profit.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09'They've each got £750 worth of their own euros to spend,
0:02:09 > 0:02:12'and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15'But will they reveal the identity
0:02:15 > 0:02:19'of the sensational sellables secreted amongst the stalls?
0:02:19 > 0:02:23'Or will the market thwart their attempts to reveal its treasures?
0:02:23 > 0:02:25'Catherine Southon and Mark Stacey,
0:02:25 > 0:02:30'it's time to put your money where your mouth is.'
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- My darling, bonjour! - How are you?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37- I'm all right. Parlez-vous Francais? - Non.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- LAUGHS - Oh, well done.- We're in Belgium.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Don't they speak Belgian? - They speak French and Flemish.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- Let's hope they speak English. - For your sake, anyway.
0:02:46 > 0:02:51That's my strategy - find someone who speaks English, who's got something worth having.
0:02:51 > 0:02:55- We've got 750 quid. - Spending lots today, are we?
0:02:55 > 0:02:58I'd like to. I'd like to find...
0:02:58 > 0:03:01a few lots of good quality and high prices, what about you?
0:03:01 > 0:03:04You'll go for your usual strategy - panic?!
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- LAUGHS - Thanks a lot(!)
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I probably will, actually. I'll take my time.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14- Then the last five minutes buy everything. - I've got to be on a Eurostar at 7pm.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- Don't amble too much, Southon. - I'll bear that in mind.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19Let's go. See you later.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23'So, panicky Catherine and gloating Mark,
0:03:23 > 0:03:27'our private antiques detectives, waste no time
0:03:27 > 0:03:31'in delving into the first of the markets - the Place de Jeu de Balle.'
0:03:31 > 0:03:33There are two markets here.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38First, I've come to this market, which is a bit of a flea market
0:03:38 > 0:03:40selling house clearance bits and pieces.
0:03:40 > 0:03:45My plan is to pick up a few novelty, unusual pieces
0:03:45 > 0:03:48at very cheap prices.
0:03:48 > 0:03:53The second market, that's the one where I'm going to splash some serious cash.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57There, I'm hoping to find myself some good antiques.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Wish me luck.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03'So, Catherine wants luck, but Mark wants something else.'
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Well, I've come here with a plan.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10I've come dressed smartly, so I want to intimidate all these foreign dealers.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15I've had a catastrophe already. I forgot to pack my cufflinks.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So one of my early purchases is going to be, hopefully,
0:04:18 > 0:04:21a pair of cufflinks so I can do my cuffs up
0:04:21 > 0:04:23and then flog them when we get back.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25Let's see what we can find.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29'Mark soon gets distracted from his cufflinks search
0:04:29 > 0:04:31'and moves in on a magazine rack.'
0:04:32 > 0:04:35What do you think of this wonderful antique?
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Quality all the way, isn't it? No, it's not. It's a bit of kitsch.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42Basically, it's gilt metal,
0:04:42 > 0:04:45with this sort of very highly polished...
0:04:45 > 0:04:49flaps there, with a bit of gilt edging.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53It's a little Canterbury or magazine rack.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55Probably made in the '50s.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57I quite like this rococo-style design.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01But it is quite fashionable, back in Brighton, in Sussex.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05I do quite like that. I can probably gild this chain.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10So it looks brighter, a bit glam, a bit Hollywood from the 1950s.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12LAUGHS
0:05:12 > 0:05:14'Mark snaps up his glamorous rack
0:05:14 > 0:05:18'for a bargain £12,82 and is feeling pleased with himself.'
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Where is that Southon? Where is she?
0:05:21 > 0:05:24'Where's Catherine? I'll tell you. She's in a flap.'
0:05:24 > 0:05:28It's not even 9 o'clock yet and I'm feeling a little bit disheartened,
0:05:28 > 0:05:33which is absolutely ridiculous, but I can't find what I'm looking for.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36I want to find something really, really fantastic. I'm hungry!
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I just need it!
0:05:38 > 0:05:40But I just can't find it.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Ugh!
0:05:43 > 0:05:45I'm slightly losing the will.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Oh! Help!
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Now I just want to cry.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I've got to find something.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58This is hard. Really hard.
0:05:58 > 0:06:03'Finally, Catherine dives in and nets her first catch of the day.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:09I wanted something fun and novel and I have definitely found it here.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13I've got myself a faux crab and a faux lobster wall hangings,
0:06:13 > 0:06:16complete with net and mussels.
0:06:16 > 0:06:21Bit of seaweed and a bit of shell. They're brand new.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24They've got no age to them and they're made of plastic.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27But they are fun and, for 15 euros,
0:06:27 > 0:06:31I think I'm going to make myself a nice little profit.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36'The mussels from Brussels and the kitsch crustaceans were...
0:06:36 > 0:06:40'And she soon finds a pair of vintage condiment pots
0:06:40 > 0:06:42'to add a bit of flavour to her haul.'
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I've just bought these pair of beauties.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50From a distance, I thought that these looked like guilloche enamel,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53which is like an engine-turned enamel.
0:06:53 > 0:06:57This is a lovely blue colour, but I'm not sure if it is or not.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It needs a bit more closer inspection.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03It is slightly chipped, but if it is enamel,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05they're actually really nice quality.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07This is crystal glass.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10Then around the top it says... Let's have a look.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14"Sterling, Denmark."
0:07:14 > 0:07:18So, sterling silver. I think they're quite charming.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21They've certainly got a nice look to them.
0:07:21 > 0:07:26For 18 euros, I definitely have someone in mind for this.
0:07:26 > 0:07:32'The salt and pepper pots put her back a tasty...
0:07:32 > 0:07:37'With two purchases to Mark's one, Catherine rubs salt into the wound.'
0:07:37 > 0:07:40That is exactly what Mark Stacey's
0:07:40 > 0:07:43going to be like when he sees what I've bought - gobsmacked!
0:07:43 > 0:07:45His eyes will pop out of the sockets!
0:07:45 > 0:07:49'Mm, but Mark is hot on her heels with this next purchase,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53'a table with a tale - four of them to be precise.'
0:07:53 > 0:07:58I'm so in awe of this table that I need to rest my laurels.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01What do you think at home? I think it's wonderful.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06It's so OTT. Look - cast brass mermaids.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09A cast edge with little finials.
0:08:09 > 0:08:14A lovely onyx top, which hasn't been cleaned. Thanks a lot(!)
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Just run my finger round the edge.
0:08:17 > 0:08:19There's a few nibbles I can feel.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22But nothing major. I love it!
0:08:22 > 0:08:25I have to buy this table. I don't know why, but I have to.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28'Mark splashes out...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33'He's on a cycle of success.'
0:08:33 > 0:08:38It's such a big fair, I've got on my bike, as Norman Tebbit would say,
0:08:38 > 0:08:41and I'm determined to beat Catherine.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44'And while Mark's pedalling away and getting nowhere,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47'Catherine has picked up a set of retro hangers.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50'There's something about them she's "hung up" on.'
0:08:50 > 0:08:54I have just bought these plastic hangers.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56They are AMAZING!
0:08:56 > 0:09:00They are so retro and so cool and they are absolutely delicious.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05These will look brilliant in a retro shop in London.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10Not displaying clothes, but perhaps on the wall - three or four of them.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13I'm going to split them up and sell them in groups.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17I think they're fabulous. What I don't like is the money I paid.
0:09:17 > 0:09:2070 euros. Far too much money.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23She thinks they're worth 15 euros each.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27I paid too much, but I LOVE them. I'll have a lot of fun with these.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30'The retro hangers put Catherine back...
0:09:31 > 0:09:33'Groovy, baby!
0:09:33 > 0:09:36'Mark has spotted a pair of champagne buckets.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40'Will his bubbly personality be enough to get a good price?'
0:09:40 > 0:09:44Do you know what I like about these? There's a pair of them.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48They're moulded glass. You can see the mould line.
0:09:48 > 0:09:53They're not cut glass. They don't seem to be signed by anyone.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57They could be, I suppose, anywhere from the 1930s to 1950s.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59The nice thing, as I say, is a pair of them.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04To me, they look like ice cubes. They've got that cold look to them.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06You can imagine them filled with ice
0:10:06 > 0:10:09and your bottle of champagne in there.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13I know someone back in England who's rather partial to champagne.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I think they'd like those for their dining room table.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20- What are you asking for them? - I ask 60 for both.
0:10:20 > 0:10:2360 for both. Could you do 40, do you think?
0:10:23 > 0:10:26No, it's not enough. The best I can do is 50.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31I don't know anything about this jug, but it's made in Belgium.
0:10:31 > 0:10:36- It's got a rather nice look. And the artist...?- Alexandre. Yes.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38- How much is that?- 25.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Can we say 65 for the two?
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- 65?- For this and for this.- Yes.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48Thank you very much, sir.
0:10:48 > 0:10:52I was thrilled with that, because, I don't know, it's talking to me.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55I love the simplicity of the turquoise glaze.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59'A talking jug, Mark? Sounds like you've already been at the bubbly.'
0:10:59 > 0:11:03I don't know anything about the artist. It might be worth 5 euros.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I think that's worth a punt and I've got two items for 65 euros.
0:11:07 > 0:11:10'Getting the jug and champagne buckets for...
0:11:10 > 0:11:14'makes Mark feel like celebrating.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18'First, time for a Catherine masterclass in how to haggle for coat hooks.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22'Catherine has three key rules
0:11:22 > 0:11:24'when it comes to buying - repetition...'
0:11:24 > 0:11:27How much for this? Can we say ten?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Ten euros?
0:11:29 > 0:11:32- 'Repetition.' - Oh, please. Ten.- 15.- Ten euros.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34Ten euros. Come on! Ten.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- 'And repetition.' - Ten euros.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40I don't want to pay more than ten euros cos it's brand new.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Can we say ten? Ten euros? Ten?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Dix?- 12. - 'Ooh, French that time.'
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Ten? Come on! I've got to push! Ten!
0:11:50 > 0:11:52'She's got ten-acity.'
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- It is aluminium, but it's a fun thing. Shall we say ten?- Nee.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- 'I think you have said ten.' - Ten!- 12.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02- Come on. Ten.- Nee.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Shall we say ten? Mon amie!
0:12:05 > 0:12:07LAUGHING: "Mon amie!"
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Ten! Ten?- Ah, yeah.
0:12:09 > 0:12:14Ten. When you get a bit closer to them, you normally get your price.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Thank you very much. Merci beaucoup.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18'How much did you pay for that?'
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Ten euros. I like this.
0:12:21 > 0:12:25This is just a machine-cut piece of chrome or aluminium.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27It's a little coat rack.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31Put your hole here and here. Drill it to the wall.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34And each member of their family would hang up their coat.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38It's a novelty item and if you were buying this brand new
0:12:38 > 0:12:41you'd probably be looking at £40, £50.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44I've just bought it for ten euros and I will definitely sell this
0:12:44 > 0:12:47to the perfect little family and make some money.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51'So, in case you missed that, Catherine paid ten euros!
0:12:55 > 0:12:59'Now, Mark has been approached by someone who likes the look
0:12:59 > 0:13:03'of the seahorse jug he bought - and is interested in buying it!'
0:13:03 > 0:13:08If it's OK with you. I'll tell you what I was hoping to get for it.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12Then you can see if you want to make me an offer on it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14- I was hoping to get around 75 euros. - Yeah?
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- How do you feel about that?- Oh. 50?
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- Oh, no. We always go up. We don't go down!- 50 is a good price.
0:13:22 > 0:13:27- What about 65?- 65? - Yes. I've come down ten.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- 60. Because I like it very much. - You really like it?- Yes. Very.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34- I love it and I think it's going to a good home.- Ah!
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- So I'm happy with 60. - OK. Thank you very much.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40'A fantastic bit of opportunity seizing from Maverick Mark!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44'He's made a profit of...
0:13:44 > 0:13:49'And he hasn't even left the market! No wonder he's feeling confident.'
0:13:49 > 0:13:53If it continues like this - good night, Catherine.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55'Well, it's not bedtime yet.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59'Our investigating antiques inspectors have delved deep,
0:13:59 > 0:14:02'so now it's time to see who's near to closing the case
0:14:02 > 0:14:05'and who's scrambling around without a clue.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10'Each of our bargain hunters started with £750 of their own euros.
0:14:10 > 0:14:16'Catherine Southon has four purchases under her belt...
0:14:23 > 0:14:27'Mark Stacey's also picked up four items, but has spent more...
0:14:36 > 0:14:38'As the buying denouement creeps closer,
0:14:38 > 0:14:42'our duelling detectives compare case notes.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45'Will Mark reveal that he's already ramped up a tasty profit
0:14:45 > 0:14:48'with his sneakily sold jug?'
0:14:48 > 0:14:50- Hey, Mark.- Hello.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52- I found your number one fan! - MARK LAUGHS
0:14:52 > 0:14:54- How's it going? - Well, I'm really happy.
0:14:54 > 0:14:58The sun is shining. There's lots of stalls to look at.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- I have found a couple of gems. - Really?- Mm.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- And you?- I'm having a lovely time.
0:15:04 > 0:15:08- Yes, but have you bought anything? - Yes, I've bought some things.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12And when I reveal later, Catherine, you're just not going to be happy.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I'm going to have to get you a glass of wine to keep you calm.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19- Sorry.- You are so mean! You are really mean.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23But seriously... Remember, I'm loving your work!
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- Ugh!- Loving your work!- Yuck!
0:15:25 > 0:15:29'Mm, gloating Mark has wound up Catherine.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33'It's off to the second of the two markets our experts are visiting.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36'Just up the road, it's the Marche Sablon.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38'Catherine is instantly impressed.'
0:15:38 > 0:15:42It's so nice to see serious antiques.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45They may have a few more noughts on the end,
0:15:45 > 0:15:48but it's just nice to see pieces of real quality.
0:15:48 > 0:15:51'But it's Mark who's first to dive in!'
0:15:51 > 0:15:54I mean, I love this jug.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59I mean, it's very... At first, you think it's Georgian, George III.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Because you've got these wonderful little shell feet,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05little decoration there.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09But when you look at the design, it's rather charming.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11It's embossed with pheasants.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14Then it's got this lovely cartouche.
0:16:14 > 0:16:19The decorating the other side is rabbits, which are rather nice.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22It's hallmarked for London, but it will be late Victorian.
0:16:22 > 0:16:26It's hallmarked with T, so it's going to be 1880-something.
0:16:26 > 0:16:281890.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30This is in really nice condition.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34The only thing I really don't like about it, I'm afraid, is the price.
0:16:34 > 0:16:40It's 175 euros which, for a retail price, is not too bad.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44Of course, if I'm trying to buy it and then sell it on,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46it has to be a little bit less.
0:16:46 > 0:16:50I think that really does scream quality, doesn't it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Will I look like the cat who's got the cream if I buy it?
0:16:53 > 0:16:57I won't if I pay that, so I'm going to see what I can do.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59'Yes, Mark. Let's see what you can do!'
0:16:59 > 0:17:03- What is the very best price you can sell this for?- 150.- 150?- Yes.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08And you can think that I don't win a lot of money with this.
0:17:08 > 0:17:12- I do like it a lot. Can we do it for 140?- Sure.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16I've bought it for 140 euros.
0:17:16 > 0:17:23'Some nifty negotiating and Mark laps up the Victorian jug for...'
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Well, I'm quite pleased with that.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I don't think I'm going to make a huge amount of money,
0:17:28 > 0:17:32but the other items I've bought have all been quite quirky
0:17:32 > 0:17:34and not terribly good quality.
0:17:34 > 0:17:40So I think that one is going to do my reputation a little bit of good.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42Hopefully.
0:17:42 > 0:17:46'Well, Mark, Catherine also has an impressive reputation
0:17:46 > 0:17:49'for hunting down antiques - tally ho!'
0:17:49 > 0:17:52I've seen these before, little hunting flasks.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55So you put in your...
0:17:55 > 0:17:58your wee dram, when you go off on your horsy.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- Pour la chasse! - Bit of whisky in there.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04- Yeah.- Screw the lid on.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09And there's your little cup, when you want to stop. Pour it in.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11Have it back. It's nice quality.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Crystal and silver plate.
0:18:14 > 0:18:19And it's tapered, which is lovely, and fitted in the nice tapered...
0:18:19 > 0:18:20cup.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- How much?- 70.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- 60?- Yeah.- 60.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27'Cunning Catherine saddles up and rides off
0:18:27 > 0:18:32'with the early 20th-century flask for...'
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Normally, in the UK, these are about £85 at market.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I just paid 60 euros for that.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41THAT is what I call a bargain.
0:18:41 > 0:18:46'Time is almost up when Mark spots a diamante crown brooch.'
0:18:46 > 0:18:51This is just completely OTT! Now, I don't think it's old.
0:18:51 > 0:18:55It's actually only priced up at 22 euros.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59Still a little too much, but isn't that over the top?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01'Not at all, Mark.'
0:19:01 > 0:19:03- What could you let me have it for? - 12.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06GASPS Madame, I was hoping for ten!
0:19:06 > 0:19:10- LAUGHING:- Oh, my God! - Am I awful?
0:19:10 > 0:19:13- No.- Could I have it for ten? - I know your tactics.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15You can have it for ten.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20I'm completely in love with you. I think that's going to go down...
0:19:20 > 0:19:24I'm going to find someone a very good home for this.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- That makes me happy. - Thank you very much.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31'Yes, the bling brooch costs Mark...
0:19:31 > 0:19:33'Making it the jewel in his crown.
0:19:33 > 0:19:38'So, the game's up for our sleuthing antiques specialists.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41'It's time to find out their final spends.
0:19:41 > 0:19:46'Mark and Catherine started the day with £750 of their own euros.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50'Catherine Southon has five purchases and has forked out...
0:19:53 > 0:19:57'Mark Stacey also did five deals, costing him...
0:20:01 > 0:20:05'Market day is over and it's time for our pair of scavenging Sherlocks
0:20:05 > 0:20:08'to put their heads together and find out who dunnit.'
0:20:08 > 0:20:13- So, how was it for you? - Well, after all this hard work...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15this is the fruits of our labour.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- LAUGHING:- It's pitiful, isn't it?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20- Need I say any more. - These are fabulous!
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Colin the crab. Larry the lobster.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27I think you need to come up with funny names, I can tell you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:31CATHERINE LAUGHS Because I think they're a real...
0:20:31 > 0:20:35- What?- ..hoot.- You would have bought those if you'd seen them.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39- Yeah. I would have done. Quite. - Would you?- No!
0:20:39 > 0:20:44- This is stunning.- That is nice. - Solid silver. London 1896, I think.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47- How much did it cost?- 140 euros.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Oh, I've forgotten something, Catherine. I did buy something else.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54- Go on, then.- I bought this lovely little turquoise cream jug
0:20:54 > 0:20:58with a seahorse handle, but I haven't got it any more.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Have you bought it and sold it? - Yeah.- Have you?- Yeah!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- Tell me.- Somebody saw it after I bought it.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09Well, they'd seen it before I bought it and came up to me afterwards.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- Yeah?- So we agreed a price.
0:21:11 > 0:21:16Well, the bells are ringing. It's time for us to leave Brussels.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18- What a wonderful day we've had. - I'll bid you farewell.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Thank you so much for joining me, Catherine.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25Oh! Thank YOU. Au revoir.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32'Our very own Dempsey and Makepeace of the antiques world
0:21:32 > 0:21:38'now return to more familiar territory in order to find buyers of their foreign purchases.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42'Each is hoping that when they crack open their cases at the end,
0:21:42 > 0:21:46'they'll have the biggest profit and be proclaimed the winner.
0:21:48 > 0:21:53'Back in his Brighton bunker, Mark assesses his Belgian booty.'
0:21:53 > 0:21:55Brussels was a bit of an adventure.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58I loved it, actually. And I LOVE this table.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02It's not everyone's cup of tea but I've already got a buyer interested.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06The magazine rack, again a bit of fun, and VERY inexpensive.
0:22:06 > 0:22:09I'm sure that's going to return me a bit of a profit.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13But the key things are these wonderful ice buckets.
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I've got someone in mind. I think he'd like those.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21Would you have thought I found a lovely piece of English silver
0:22:21 > 0:22:24at a Belgian market? Well, I did. A nice Victorian cream jug.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Deeply embossed with pheasants and rabbits.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30We all like a bit of bling. I know I do.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32What more can you have than a crown
0:22:32 > 0:22:35covered in diamante for under a tenner?
0:22:35 > 0:22:38There's a huge profit in there. I hope.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41All in all, I'm happy with my purchases.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44Oh, I forgot! There isn't a piece here!
0:22:44 > 0:22:48I've already sold one of the items at the market.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Ha-ha! That's the way to do it, Catherine.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54Good luck. I think you're going to need it.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58'Ooh! Fighting talk from Mr Stacey! Bold and brashy in Brighton.
0:22:58 > 0:23:00'How is cunning Catherine feeling
0:23:00 > 0:23:04'when she opens her shopping bag of assorted acquisitions?'
0:23:04 > 0:23:06The foreign market in Brussels.
0:23:06 > 0:23:10Well, I had a great time, but I have to tell you,
0:23:10 > 0:23:14I really struggled to find good quality pieces there.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17The one that I do love more than anything
0:23:17 > 0:23:21is probably my hangers - they are 1970s, retro.
0:23:21 > 0:23:22They are great fun!
0:23:22 > 0:23:27But I paid a lot of money for them and I think I'm going to struggle
0:23:27 > 0:23:29to get my money back.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32The hunter's flask is probably the best kind I have ever seen.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35It's in beautiful tip-top condition.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39At 60 euros, I'm going to double my money on that.
0:23:39 > 0:23:41The coat hook down the bottom?
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Well, I've got to run around trying to find somebody willing to spend
0:23:46 > 0:23:49£30, £40 - could be a problem!
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Salt and pepper? I was drawn to them because of the little enamel tops.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57But I didn't pay very much for them so, hopefully,
0:23:57 > 0:23:59there should be something there.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02These are such great fun!
0:24:02 > 0:24:07The problem is, they have had a bit of an accident on the way home.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12The lobster has lost six legs and the crab has lost a claw.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15Never mind. I'm still going to sell these.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Someone will take pity on them.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21'So, Miss Southon's hope to sell her lame lobster
0:24:21 > 0:24:25'signifies the beginning of this breakneck selling round.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29'Mark and Catherine rapidly start ringing round their contacts
0:24:29 > 0:24:31'in the hope of calling in a big sale,
0:24:31 > 0:24:34'armed with the knowledge that no deal is done
0:24:34 > 0:24:37'until they get that all-important hand-shake.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41'It's Catherine who is the first to make a break for it,
0:24:41 > 0:24:46'as she canters down to London with her early 20th-century hunting flask.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49'Catherine paid £51.28 for the flask.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53'She's hoping that hunting memorabilia expert John
0:24:53 > 0:24:56'might help her chase down a good profit.'
0:24:56 > 0:24:59- It's a little saddle flask, I would guess.- I should think so.
0:24:59 > 0:25:05- But this one is in very fine condition.- Good.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08- I'm glad you say that. - I like the facet-cut glass.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- I know. It's beautiful, isn't it? - This is a nice quality item.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15- You'll notice the cork is in a downward position.- Mm-hm.
0:25:15 > 0:25:19That's to ensure that the liquid stays on top of that cork.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- To stop it drying out. - And therefore leaking.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26When we take the cup off, it's still got a nice tight fit.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It's very important because if you lose it, you're in big trouble.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34- This is as good an example as I have seen.- I've got a price in mind.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Somewhere in the region of about 200.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- If this had sterling silver... - Mm-hm.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44..then I would be giving you £200, immediately.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47- As you probably know, this is plate. - Mm-hm.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51And it does have an effect on the value.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I would be prepared to offer you £150.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Is there any way that we can meet somewhere?
0:25:58 > 0:26:00In the middle?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- I tell you what. I'll give you £160. - That's absolutely fine.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08I think we've got to say 160 on that. Thank you very much.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12'Fantastic work there, and Catherine gallops off with a profit of...
0:26:18 > 0:26:21'Hot on her heels, Mark heads to a coffee shop in Eastbourne
0:26:21 > 0:26:24'that doubles up as a seller of curiosities,
0:26:24 > 0:26:28'hoping owner Chris will be curious about his magazine rack and table,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32'which cost him £89.74 all together.'
0:26:33 > 0:26:37Chris, I spotted these items in Brussels.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41Looking around, I can see it would really add
0:26:41 > 0:26:43to the eccentricity of the place.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45It would fit in nicely.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49- But don't you love these mermaids? - Yes, they're sweet.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53- Mm. It's unusual.- It's wonderfully camp and kitsch.- Mm.
0:26:53 > 0:26:56- Probably from the '70s, would you say?- Yes.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- There is the odd little chip underneath.- Oh, yes.
0:26:59 > 0:27:04- I thought it was worth a chance. It's such a wacky table.- Mm.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07The other thing, Chris, from the same sort of period
0:27:07 > 0:27:11- was this kind of rococo folding magazine rack.- Mm!
0:27:11 > 0:27:15- Which again, I thought, was just...weird.- Yes, indeed.
0:27:15 > 0:27:20Somebody might want to buy not just a newspaper but the rack!
0:27:20 > 0:27:22It's the sort of thing we...love.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25CHRIS LAUGHS Good! Shall I put the price up?
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- No...- Oh! - LAUGHS
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I was hoping, for the two items,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34around the £220 mark.
0:27:34 > 0:27:37Now, there was a grimace there!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40- What were you thinking of, now you saw them?- Mm. 150?
0:27:40 > 0:27:45150? Could we get anywhere near, maybe, the 180?
0:27:45 > 0:27:50- Is there...?- No.- You know where I'm going with this, don't you?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52Do come back, obviously!
0:27:52 > 0:27:53- 160.- 160.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57- Let's do it.- Thank you, Mark.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00'Yes, Mark's negotiation skills stand him in good stead.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02'He swims off with a profit of...'
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Great fun! Perfect place for them and I made a profit. What more can you ask for?
0:28:11 > 0:28:17'Catherine now takes her continental coat hooks to Kent-based housewife and mum Claire.'
0:28:17 > 0:28:20# Hang on, Susie Susie, hang on... #
0:28:20 > 0:28:25'Catherine's dogged haggling meant she paid £8.55 for the coat hooks.
0:28:25 > 0:28:27'So, how much can she tell them for?'
0:28:27 > 0:28:29- What do you think?- It's different.
0:28:29 > 0:28:33What do you mean, "It's different"? What do you think?
0:28:33 > 0:28:36I like it, but I feel it's something you hang on the toilet door.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40- Why do you think the toilet? - It's the shapes of the family.
0:28:40 > 0:28:44- I see what you mean.- Men's... - And the ladies, the triangular.
0:28:44 > 0:28:49I see what you mean. How much would you be willing to give me for this?
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Bearing in mind I'm not sure it'll fit over the door.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- We may have to do a bit of DIY. - Yeah.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58- £12?- Ooh! Claire!
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Ooh! That's a bit of a shock!
0:29:00 > 0:29:04- What about 15?- I guess I could go to that. Yeah.- Go on, then. 15.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10'Catherine hangs up a profit of...'
0:29:12 > 0:29:17Well, I'm not sure that Claire was overwhelmed by the coat hook,
0:29:17 > 0:29:19but she bought it in the end and I made a profit.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22After all, a sale's a sale.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25'And Catherine sails on down to Greenwich,
0:29:25 > 0:29:31'hoping to sell the ten retro clothes hangers which cost £59.83.'
0:29:33 > 0:29:36I thought that these hangers would be really easy to sell,
0:29:36 > 0:29:39but I have had nothing but negative comments.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43So I have brought them along to the hustling, bustling Greenwich Market
0:29:43 > 0:29:47and I'm determined to go home empty-handed.
0:29:47 > 0:29:52'So, Catherine zips through the market in search of profit.'
0:29:52 > 0:29:55Possibly interested in these? £10 each?
0:29:55 > 0:29:59- £10?- Yes! I think they're a bit of fun.
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- I thought you were offering me all of them for £10.- All of them?
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Oh, no. I can't do that. Do you want to buy two?- For £15?- Yeah.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- Well, I can't resist a bargain! - Yay!- Yes! Well done.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Two for £15. Fantastic!
0:30:12 > 0:30:14'After a good start, things get worse,
0:30:14 > 0:30:19'and Greenwich "Mean"time takes on a whole new meaning for Catherine.'
0:30:19 > 0:30:23- Do you want one?- No, thank you. - Are you sure?- I'm really sure.
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Is this the sort of thing that might be of interest to you? Is it?
0:30:27 > 0:30:29- No.- Oh!
0:30:29 > 0:30:30LAUGHS
0:30:30 > 0:30:34- I'm looking to sell them for £10 each.- Are you?- Yes.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36Good luck with that.
0:30:37 > 0:30:39Hello!
0:30:39 > 0:30:41- Look at these!- Wow!
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- What do you think of them? - I think they're...special.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46- Special?- They're interesting.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I'm asking for £10 each on them.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- LAUGHS - No?- No!- In a word.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54- Really?- Not £10, no.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57For all them, I would do... I'll do 20.
0:30:57 > 0:31:01For all of them, £20? Oh gosh, no. I paid so much more than that.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- 30 and you've got a deal. - A little bit more?
0:31:03 > 0:31:06- WEARILY: 35. - You don't want to do 40?
0:31:06 > 0:31:09- No, I can't do 40 on those.- 35.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13Go on, then. I'll make a loss, but I've got to get rid of them.
0:31:13 > 0:31:19'Catherine sells the remaining hangers but ends up with a loss...'
0:31:20 > 0:31:24Well, that was not easy, and I have made a little bit of a loss.
0:31:24 > 0:31:30But hallelujah! I have got rid of those coat hangers!
0:31:31 > 0:31:35'Catherine found her retro hangers to be a bit of a drag.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38'But Mark has a different kind of drag in mind,
0:31:38 > 0:31:43'as he tries to sell the silver crown brooch that cost him £8.55.'
0:31:43 > 0:31:47If you're going to sell a piece of jewellery in the form of a crown, you need a queen.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52And oh, my! What a queen I've got for you! Haha!
0:31:52 > 0:31:55# It's raining men, hallelujah
0:31:55 > 0:31:58# It's raining men, hey, men... #
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Davina, dear. - Hello, dear. How are you?
0:32:02 > 0:32:06- You're looking every inch the queen. - Thank you very much, my darling!
0:32:06 > 0:32:09- Lovely to see you. - I've come here on a mission.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13- I sent you an e-mail of a charming little brooch.- You did, dear.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- It is rather gorgeous.- Can you help me take it off?- Oh, gosh! Yes.
0:32:17 > 0:32:21I'm not good with fiddly bits. There's quite a weight to it.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24It's lovely, isn't it? I like that a lot.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26- Is it you, do you think? - You think it's fit for a queen?
0:32:26 > 0:32:30- I think it's fit for a queen. - I quite like it, I have to say.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33I don't really like ostentatious jewellery, darling!
0:32:33 > 0:32:36- This is the problem! - We can see that.
0:32:36 > 0:32:41- I don't have much.- It's a bit OTT, compared to your other pieces(!)
0:32:42 > 0:32:44What do you want for that?
0:32:44 > 0:32:47I'd love to get as near to 30 as I can.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50- How about 20? - That's not very near at all, is it?
0:32:50 > 0:32:54That wouldn't get me my bus fare back to Queen's Park, dear.
0:32:54 > 0:32:59- Could we say 26?- Well, it is rather beautiful, my dear.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02So I think I'm going to pay £26.
0:33:02 > 0:33:06And I have to say, my dear, you ARE being a bit of a drag today!
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Aren't you? Now, come with me.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15'Ooh! Mark makes a crowning profit of...
0:33:15 > 0:33:19'And decides to celebrate by getting all dressed-up!'
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Now, come on, Racy Stacey, do hurry up, dear.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- Darling. I'm out of my comfort zone. - Come on, you silly old queen!
0:33:29 > 0:33:31What do you think, Davina, darling?
0:33:35 > 0:33:38'Oh, Mark! That's SO you!'
0:33:38 > 0:33:43I never thought I would take to high heels.
0:33:43 > 0:33:46- I'm afraid I rather have, you know. - Oh, how lovely!- Yes.
0:33:46 > 0:33:50The things I do to make a small profit.
0:33:52 > 0:33:56Catherine, I can always find room for a bit of bling in Brighton.
0:33:56 > 0:34:01Remember, dear. There's only room for one diva in this contest.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05'Quite clearly, that's you, Ms Stacey.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08'So, as we're halfway through the selling section,
0:34:08 > 0:34:12'it's high time to see who's piling on the pounds
0:34:12 > 0:34:15'and who's left lumped with the losses.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19'So far, Catherine Southon has sold three purchases...
0:34:24 > 0:34:28'Mark Stacey has done two deals in Blighty plus the item in Brussels...
0:34:35 > 0:34:40'But there's plenty more to come, as our two hungry fortune hunters
0:34:40 > 0:34:44'now need to up their game, if they are to walk away victorious.
0:34:44 > 0:34:49'Mark is in the lead and is hoping to make a corking profit
0:34:49 > 0:34:53'by selling his prized possessions - the two vintage champagne buckets.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56'They cost him £42.74,
0:34:56 > 0:35:02'and he's hoping to convince Brighton-based bubbly-loving contact Justin to buy them.'
0:35:02 > 0:35:06- Hello, Justin.- Hi, Mark. - Can you help me?- Yes, of course.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08- Solid, aren't they? - They are very solid.
0:35:08 > 0:35:11And I like this sort of cracked ice effect.
0:35:11 > 0:35:14When that's full of ice and a nice champagne bottle,
0:35:14 > 0:35:16the reflection will be quite nice.
0:35:16 > 0:35:21- They're continental.- Really? - 1950s, I think.- OK.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24- They'd be nice on a dinner table. - They would.
0:35:24 > 0:35:28Dante, my partner, collects ice buckets. We've got ten at home.
0:35:28 > 0:35:32- Haven't got any glass ones, though. - These could be a nice addition.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34Yeah, I think they will.
0:35:34 > 0:35:39I was hoping to get around 150 to 200 - for the pair, not each.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Shall we say 160?
0:35:41 > 0:35:44Ooh. What about 180?
0:35:45 > 0:35:47- 170?- 170.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51I'll go for that. Thank you very much, Justin.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54I'll come and christen them. I'll bring strawberries and cream.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Well, job done, then! Yes!
0:35:57 > 0:36:01'Job done, indeed. Mark makes a cork-popping profit of...'
0:36:05 > 0:36:11That was worth waiting for cos I sold the ice buckets and got what I think is quite a vintage profit.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15A shame I haven't got a glass in my hand to toast my own success.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19But I'm sure you're doing that for me anyway, Catherine, my darling?
0:36:20 > 0:36:23'Yes, Mark feels like celebrating with only one item to go,
0:36:23 > 0:36:25'but what of Catherine?
0:36:25 > 0:36:29'She's brought her crumbling crustaceans to Southend.'
0:36:29 > 0:36:32# Walking on the beaches looking at the peaches... #
0:36:32 > 0:36:38'And even though they're broken, game Catherine is still going to try and sell them.'
0:36:38 > 0:36:42My poor injured lobster and crab
0:36:42 > 0:36:46have crawled their way with me to sunny Southend.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49We're hoping to see a local businessman, Philip,
0:36:49 > 0:36:54who I hope will take pity on them and buy them for his restaurant.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58'As the plastic lobster and crab were broken in transit,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01'the Put Your Money games master's picked up the cost,
0:37:01 > 0:37:05'meaning anything Catherine manages to make is pure profit.'
0:37:05 > 0:37:10We have a rather fine plastic crab.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12That's a beauty!
0:37:13 > 0:37:17As plastic crabs go, this has got to be one of the better varieties.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20And we have a lobster, but look!
0:37:20 > 0:37:22Has he been fighting with the crab?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25- Quite possibly!- That's a shame.
0:37:25 > 0:37:28- They're not going to fit in on the wall here.- Not this one.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33We've got an aquarium along the road. We've got lobsters and crabs.
0:37:33 > 0:37:37- They get lonely.- Ah!- Because they're very reclusive type creatures.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41If we put them in the middle of a tank, you never know.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44- Might give them the right idea of how to breed!- Like that idea!
0:37:44 > 0:37:47These might be helpful crab and helpful lobster?
0:37:47 > 0:37:50I think they'll serve a useful purpose, indeed.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53Anything that you can possibly offer me on these?
0:37:53 > 0:37:55- Tenner for the pair?- Why not?
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Are you sure?- Yeah! Why not?
0:37:58 > 0:38:02£10 the pair. Considering the damage, that's a very fine offer.
0:38:02 > 0:38:04- Thank you very much.- Thank you.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10'Catherine is happy with £10 profit for the sorrowful sea creatures.'
0:38:10 > 0:38:13- You could have got more if you'd asked for more.- Damn!
0:38:13 > 0:38:16LAUGHING: Don't ask, don't get.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19'Yes, there's a lesson there.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23'Now, down to her last item, Catherine tries to shake up a sale
0:38:23 > 0:38:27'of the condiment shakers that cost her £15.38,
0:38:27 > 0:38:30'showing them to West Wycombe-based contact, Margaret.'
0:38:30 > 0:38:33- I'm going to show you these.- Oh!
0:38:33 > 0:38:37- Did I send you a photo of them? - Yeah. They're nicer than the photo.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39- Are they?- Yes.- Oh, good.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43- They're quite pretty.- The reason I went for them is they're pretty.
0:38:43 > 0:38:47I liked the enamel. The blue in particular was beautiful.
0:38:47 > 0:38:49It's like that guilloche enamel.
0:38:49 > 0:38:54- Yes. Is it silver, because there's a little mark?- There is a little mark.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58- A Danish mark. Oh.- It's not silver. - No, it's silver plate.- Yes.
0:38:58 > 0:39:02- I think it is silver plate. - More 20s than 30s.
0:39:02 > 0:39:05- They might be. - I would have said they were.
0:39:05 > 0:39:10Because it's the way this is all pressed, isn't it?
0:39:10 > 0:39:15- They're quite nice.- How much would you pay for them?- 15 to 20.- Oh.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18- 23?- 22.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22- 22!- 22?- All right, 22. - Would you take 22?- I will take 22.
0:39:22 > 0:39:23Thank you very much.
0:39:23 > 0:39:28'Catherine shakes on a profit of £6.62 and is all sold up.'
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Mark, I think I might just beat you,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35but you know you'll always be my special friend.
0:39:37 > 0:39:41'So Catherine feels like the cat who's got the cream.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44'But Mark still has his Victorian silver milk jug.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48'He takes this final crucial antique to Littlehampton-based buyer
0:39:48 > 0:39:52'Stephanie, hoping that it'll help whip up a victory.'
0:39:53 > 0:39:56- I thought it was charming. - Oh, it is gorgeous.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00If you turn it upside down, it's all decorated underneath.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03- Isn't it fab? - They've gone really to town on this.
0:40:03 > 0:40:07- Imagine seeing the whole set! - Oh, I know. The teapot...
0:40:07 > 0:40:11Probably a little bachelor set. Very much in a late 18th-century style.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Those rather nice feet with shell motifs.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- Oh, it's lovely. - And that sort of C-scrolled handle.
0:40:17 > 0:40:21I've never seen one embossed with pheasants and rabbits before.
0:40:21 > 0:40:24- I've just noticed them. - The rabbits are all playful.
0:40:24 > 0:40:26- Isn't it unusual?- I love it.
0:40:26 > 0:40:29Quite a nice weight. It's fully hallmarked, English.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31London 1896.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36I really like it, and the detail, it's just really beautiful.
0:40:36 > 0:40:40- It's obviously been kept in a box. - Yeah, it's been looked after.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44Is this sounding good, Steph? I paid a fair amount for it.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48- I'm sure you did.- But I would like to pour out a little profit!- Ha!
0:40:48 > 0:40:52'Stephanie seems keen, but will she be keen enough to buy the milk jug
0:40:52 > 0:40:55'for a price that helps Mark lap up victory?
0:40:55 > 0:40:59'Or will Mark's dreams of winning curdle at the last hurdle?
0:40:59 > 0:41:01'All will soon be revealed.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09'Catherine and Mark each started with £750 of their own money.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15'Catherine Southon did five deals in Brussels and spent...
0:41:18 > 0:41:23'Mark Stacey bought six items and spent almost twice as much...
0:41:26 > 0:41:29'But all that matters now is profit.
0:41:31 > 0:41:36'All the proceeds will go to our dealers' chosen charities,
0:41:36 > 0:41:41'so let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion!'
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Bonjour, mademoiselle. How are you?
0:41:45 > 0:41:48- Tres bien.- So exciting!
0:41:48 > 0:41:51- How did you get on, Catherine? - Well, one really good sale.
0:41:51 > 0:41:55- Do you remember that hunting flask? - Oh, yes.- No, that was great.
0:41:55 > 0:41:59That was about 90% of my profit. Everything else was... iffy.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03I've had a fantastic time. I made a really good profit on those ice buckets.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07- They were good, actually. They were great.- They were fantastic.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Are you ready to reveal?- Y-yes. I don't think I want to do this.
0:42:11 > 0:42:13But go on. Trois, deux, un!
0:42:14 > 0:42:18Oh, Mark! You did really well!
0:42:18 > 0:42:20Well, yes, Catherine. Oh, dear.
0:42:20 > 0:42:24- It really is pathetic.- Not really. I'm surprised you made that much!
0:42:27 > 0:42:29'Yes, glorious and victorious.
0:42:29 > 0:42:33'Mr Stacey had already managed some massive mark-ups
0:42:33 > 0:42:36'by the time it came to selling his precious silver milk jug.'
0:42:36 > 0:42:41- I would like £130 for it. - That sounds pretty good, actually.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Definitely. I think it's gorgeous. Thank you.- Thanks, Steph.
0:42:44 > 0:42:47'That small profit of £10.34 helped consolidate
0:42:47 > 0:42:51'Mark's irrefutable annihilation of Catherine's ambitions.'
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I enjoyed the foreign market!
0:42:53 > 0:42:58I bought the right things and I maximised every penny of profit.
0:42:58 > 0:43:01I got to dress up and I won!
0:43:01 > 0:43:04To be honest, although I did rather well with the hunting flask,
0:43:04 > 0:43:10I did struggle with everything else and I think he just made some jolly good profits so...
0:43:10 > 0:43:13mon cheri, fantastique!
0:43:15 > 0:43:18'Maverick Mark stands victorious in today's battle,
0:43:18 > 0:43:21'but tomorrow, Catherine gets the chance to fight back
0:43:21 > 0:43:25'when they go up against each other at an auction in Essex.'
0:43:25 > 0:43:28See, Mark? A bargain!
