0:01:00 > 0:01:02That little chair there is worth -
0:01:02 > 0:01:06don't tell the stall holder this - between 300 and 400 quid.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09They're asking 60 euros for it.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Bonjour, John.- Bonjour. It's good to see you, Jonty.
0:02:43 > 0:02:48- Here in the middle of Paris.- What a great place. This market is amazing.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51I understand, what, 450 dealers plus?
0:02:51 > 0:02:55And I understand that it's going to take us a kilometre to walk,
0:02:55 > 0:02:57if we want to see all those stands.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Importantly, have you got your money?
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I've got £750 worth of euros in my pocket and I hope you have, too.
0:03:03 > 0:03:09I have, indeed. I think we should split up, get on with it, meet up later - and bonne chance!
0:03:09 > 0:03:12Have a good morning - but not too good a morning.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23'Because of the size of the market, both our trinket hunters
0:03:23 > 0:03:26'will need to cover some distance in today's race.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30'But speed and agility is only part of what's needed
0:03:30 > 0:03:32'if they're to take today's title.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35'They need a Parisian game plan.'
0:03:35 > 0:03:37My plan today is to try and budget.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41I'm looking for about six items and I have a limit to what I can spend.
0:03:41 > 0:03:47I don't want to buy anything too dear because trying to get a profit is quite difficult.
0:03:47 > 0:03:53I'm going to try and cost-average my six items at around 100 euros each.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56'John may be carefully pacing his spending,
0:03:56 > 0:03:58'but Jonty's taking a more relaxed approach.'
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I need to really take my time about just looking first of all.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06I just need to find golden nuggets. I know they're there somewhere.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09So I'm going to do a lot of looking first of all.
0:04:09 > 0:04:12'While Jonty's looking for those golden nuggets,
0:04:12 > 0:04:17'John may have already found one in this unconventional tea cosy.'
0:04:17 > 0:04:19Very different, isn't it?
0:04:22 > 0:04:26Date-wise, with that bamboo, I'd say it was probably...
0:04:26 > 0:04:31- Napoleon III. 1860, 1870. - 1860, something like that.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36- And what is, um... le dernier prix? - 150.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40- That's the very best price, 150? - Yes. It's like a gift for you.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44- It's a gift! And you say that with such sincerity!- Yes!
0:04:44 > 0:04:46Ah, OK.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48So, um...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51- Marche conclu?- OK.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54'Yes, sale complete...'
0:05:00 > 0:05:02It's very unusual. I couldn't resist it.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05The lady tells me that in 25 years of dealing,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08this is only the second one she's purchased.
0:05:08 > 0:05:12It works by dropping down the sides.
0:05:12 > 0:05:17You pop your teapot in there. It would be a rather small teapot.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20It would keep it nice and warm inside there.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23You'd keep it on the table.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Looking at the design and style,
0:05:25 > 0:05:28it's a frame that's been made to resemble bamboo.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31It's called faux bamboo. It's gilt metal.
0:05:31 > 0:05:36It has these wonderful Chinoiserie or oriental silk panels.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40That would place it, the combination of the bamboo and the panels,
0:05:40 > 0:05:45around about 1860, 1870, in a period influenced by Japan and the Orient.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50In the UK, we had a similar style known as the Aesthetic Movement,
0:05:50 > 0:05:53which features bamboo in the construction.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Really pleased with that.
0:05:55 > 0:05:57'John's raced into an early lead.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00'Jonty has spied a vintage mirrored jewellery box
0:06:00 > 0:06:03'and he's determined to pay eight euros for it.'
0:06:03 > 0:06:08- Oh, non!- Oui. - Oh, non. Eight? Dix.- Huit.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10'The problem is, the seller wants ten.'
0:06:10 > 0:06:13- Tres jolie. Huit, huh?- Non! Dix!
0:06:13 > 0:06:16- Dix?- Dix.- Pwar!- Oh! - 'This may take some time.'
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- Huit.- Dix.- Neuf.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22'He's offered to meet in the middle.'
0:06:22 > 0:06:24- Oui?- Bon. Neuf.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Merci.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29'Deal done. Jonty bags the Art Deco jewellery box for...'
0:06:31 > 0:06:36This is a fantastic 1950s dressing table set, mirror set.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39If you look on the inside here,
0:06:39 > 0:06:42you've got room for rings on the dressing table.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Down below, you've got a dinky drawer
0:06:44 > 0:06:47to put yet more jewellery.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50A lovely lady's piece to put on your dressing table.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Nine euros. Perfect.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55'The Hitman's getting into his stride,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58'as he spots another item at the same stall.'
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Fantastic opera glasses. What can I see?
0:07:05 > 0:07:07It's John struggling!
0:07:07 > 0:07:13'Indeed, it appears The Hammer IS struggling to keep pace with this market's prices.'
0:07:13 > 0:07:18# I still haven't found what I'm looking for... #
0:07:18 > 0:07:21There really are some wonderful things here,
0:07:21 > 0:07:25but everything's got whacking price tickets as well.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I don't suppose Jonty's faring any better.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31Not unless he's already scoped out the cheaper end of the market.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I haven't come across it yet, so I'll keep looking.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37'The cheaper end of the market, you say?'
0:07:37 > 0:07:39These are great. 15 euros.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42'That's exactly where pace-setter Jonty is.'
0:07:43 > 0:07:45- Pour dix?- Dix, OK.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48OK.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Bought some opera glasses, ten euros. That's perfect.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00'He's not yet finished at the same stall.'
0:08:00 > 0:08:02These are five euros.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06'He's found a vintage ring-sizer he hopes will be another bargain.'
0:08:06 > 0:08:10This are for jewellers to measure sizes of rings.
0:08:10 > 0:08:15You start with a very large finger, going down to very tiny fingers.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19That's a child's finger, presumably. I think that's a wonderful thing.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22And for five euros, you just can't go wrong.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I'm really pleased with my little purchases there. Cheap and cheerful!
0:08:31 > 0:08:34But, hey, that's me all over.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38'With that burst of speedy spending, Jonty takes a 3-1 lead.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42'John is still in this race, as he searches for that second buy.'
0:08:42 > 0:08:45This is a wonderful children's toy.
0:08:45 > 0:08:51It probably dates from...I would have thought the 1930s or '40s.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53It would have occupied you for hours.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57I think children today get bored rather more quickly,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00but that's a charming little thing.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03The price tag on it, though, is 380 euros!
0:09:03 > 0:09:08'John is struggling with the prices, but no such trouble for The Hitman.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11'He's setting the pace as he bags another buy,
0:09:11 > 0:09:14'paying £17.09 for a timepiece.'
0:09:14 > 0:09:17This is a mantel clock, probably made in the 1920s.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21The dealer tells me that it's an eight-day movement, which is good.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25It means you only have to wind the clock up every eight days. Perfect.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30There are clocks out there that are just 24-hour winding mechanisms.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Nobody really wants those cos we're all lazy.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36We just want an eight-day movement, so that's very good news.
0:09:36 > 0:09:41'Jonty's strategy to take his time has fallen by the wayside,
0:09:41 > 0:09:46'but battling bargaineer John finally seals his second buy with a kiss -
0:09:46 > 0:09:50'a Mr Pickwick china ornament.'
0:09:51 > 0:09:54This is the last thing I expected to see here in France.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57It's a piece of English Crested China,
0:09:57 > 0:10:00dating to the late 19th century.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04These things were very popular and became souvenir wares.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07There is a Portsmouth museum specialising in Crested China.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10Hopefully, they haven't got one.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13'John might have a plan to pack a profit back in Blighty,
0:10:13 > 0:10:17'but what he can't do is stop his rival's spending marathon.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20'Jonty has spied yet another possible purchase.'
0:10:20 > 0:10:24This has a wonderfully French Art Nouveau feel to it.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27The actual frame itself...
0:10:27 > 0:10:30is really quite good quality.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Everything you see here is wrought iron. I think that's really nice.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38At the moment, the price is 280 euros.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42If I could get it for roughly around the 200 euro mark,
0:10:42 > 0:10:45then that's possibly worth taking home with me.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47'It's a glowing result for Jonty,
0:10:47 > 0:10:52'as he gets the chandelier for a better-than-hoped-for price...'
0:10:53 > 0:10:55What a bargain!
0:10:55 > 0:11:00The price was 280 euros and I got him down to 190 euros,
0:11:00 > 0:11:04which is a wonderful bargain, I'm just so pleased.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08'Our experts have fought hard and run fast around the first lap
0:11:08 > 0:11:10'with varying results.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13'Let's catch a breath and see how they're faring.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21'Both of our lithe loot hunters had £750 of euros from their own pocket to spend.
0:11:21 > 0:11:25'John has struggled, buying just two items so far at a cost of...
0:11:31 > 0:11:36'But Jonty has raced ahead with five buys, costing...
0:11:43 > 0:11:48'It's all still to play for, as our antiques Olympians get set to return to the market.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52'Before then, there's just enough time to psych each other out.'
0:11:52 > 0:11:57- John! - Oh, The Hitman! How are you?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- Well, I've made a few purchases. - Have you?- Yeah.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03- How's it going? - I like this fair. What about you?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I don't know if you're putting on a front, Jonty!
0:12:06 > 0:12:10- No, I have bought some things. - Have you spent much money?
0:12:10 > 0:12:15- Well...! How are you getting on? - I'm not doing as well as I'd hoped.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18I have to say, LOADS of really nice things here.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20So many nice things, it's unreal.
0:12:20 > 0:12:24But every time I pick something up, the price tag scares me away!
0:12:24 > 0:12:27- If I was buying it to keep, not a problem.- Yeah.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32- Have you been over the bridge? - I'm working my way down, then going over the other side.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35- What are the prices like?- All the bargains are on the other side.
0:12:35 > 0:12:40- Mind you, I've bought them all. - Ah, no! Don't tell me that!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42I'm not bothered, Jonty(!) Look!
0:12:42 > 0:12:46- No pressure.- No pressure at all. I'll see you a bit later.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48OK. Carry on. LAUGHS
0:12:48 > 0:12:51'As our duelling dealers hit the track again,
0:12:51 > 0:12:55'it seems that little encounter has got to John.'
0:12:55 > 0:12:59Jonty seems quietly confident. He's almost smug, I would say.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02He's spent a bit of money. He's got more items than I've got.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06I'm starting to get worried, but...maybe it was a front.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08At least, I hope so.
0:13:08 > 0:13:10'Unfortunately not.
0:13:10 > 0:13:14'Jonty's back into his stride and he's spotted a Hitman favourite -
0:13:14 > 0:13:17'a chair in need of restoration.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:20I can't resist a chair. You know me!
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Have a look at this little nursing chair.
0:13:25 > 0:13:29The shape and form have a Victorian feel to it.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32If you look at the legs at the front,
0:13:32 > 0:13:35we have an interesting little turn on the leg.
0:13:35 > 0:13:41By looking at the legs, you know that this chair is not Victorian.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Victorian chair legs would be slightly more turned.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46They'd quite easily have a caster,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49which allowed the chair to be rolled forward and back.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Back home, if you can put a new cover on it,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55that little chair is worth -
0:13:55 > 0:13:59don't tell the stall holder - between 300 and 400 quid.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02They're asking 60 euros for it at the moment.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06'Our crafty connoisseur has swooped in on the 1920s nursing chair,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10'but master profiteer Jonty doesn't want to pay the 60 euros.'
0:14:10 > 0:14:13Would you take 50 euros for the chair?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17- I can sell it for 50 euros. - 50 euros?- Yes, it's OK.- OK.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21'Result! The Hitman's confident he's bought a guaranteed money-spinner,
0:14:21 > 0:14:27'as he pays £42.74 for a chair he believes he can sell for hundreds.'
0:14:27 > 0:14:30I'm going to make a huge profit on this.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32John, are you sitting comfortably?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35'Yeah, not exactly. While Jonty races further ahead,
0:14:35 > 0:14:38'John is still chasing that next buy.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42'To make matters worse, all he can seem to find is his opponent.'
0:14:42 > 0:14:45Jonty, Jonty, Jonty. It's not time for the guillotine yet.
0:14:46 > 0:14:50- I was going to put your head in there!- Am I for the chop?
0:14:50 > 0:14:53- How's it going, old boy? - Another purchase in the bag.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- How about you?- No more purchases. - No more purchases!
0:14:56 > 0:15:00- Are you telling the truth, Jonty? - LAUGHING: Would I lie to you?
0:15:00 > 0:15:04Well, I don't know. No time to chew the fat with you, Jonty.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- I must press on.- Okey-dokey.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08- Watch your fingers on that.- Yes.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12These are really interesting items.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15I see a lot of these in French markets.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18These are designed to chop your baguette up,
0:15:18 > 0:15:20which is a fabulous thing.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24They're great fun, but do they translate at home? Not necessarily.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28At 110 euros? I definitely don't think so.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31'No profit translates to no purchase for Jonty.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33'John may be lagging behind,
0:15:33 > 0:15:36'but he's hoping he may have run into his next purchase -
0:15:36 > 0:15:39'some rather unusual knife rests.'
0:15:39 > 0:15:42There are ten of them in quite nice condition.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46They're from Limoges, a very famous enamelling centre in France.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48They're knife rests
0:15:48 > 0:15:53and each one has a little escargot perched on them, which is great.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56The best price is 60.
0:15:56 > 0:16:00- 60 euros. The very best price? - Yes, the very best price.
0:16:00 > 0:16:03Would you, er, take...cinquante?
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- No. It's too...- Cinquante? - I can't.- No?
0:16:07 > 0:16:11- Soixante?- Oui. - Soixante, we have a deal.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13And I have another purchase, more importantly!
0:16:13 > 0:16:15'That's another one in the bag,
0:16:15 > 0:16:20'as John takes the set of ten 1930s knife rests for £51.28.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22'He's increased his haul to three items,
0:16:22 > 0:16:28'but he can't continue to buy at a snail's pace if he's to gain ground on Jonty.'
0:16:28 > 0:16:31I do like to put pressure on myself.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34I've got about an hour of buying left
0:16:34 > 0:16:37and I'm still two or three items short.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40If I know Jonty, he's somewhere with his feet up,
0:16:40 > 0:16:43taking it easy with a cold drink.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46'Well, not quite, but The Hitman's so on top
0:16:46 > 0:16:50'he's finished his buying race and turned it into a French holiday,
0:16:50 > 0:16:53'taking in the beautiful sights of the capital city,
0:16:53 > 0:16:57'enjoying the local culture and sampling the Continental cuisine.
0:16:58 > 0:17:01'Yeah. Wrong show, Jonty.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05'Hoping to get into his spending stride, John is on the prowl
0:17:05 > 0:17:08'and he's got a thirst for a vintage cocktail strainer.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11'With an asking price of 55 euros, he's managed to talk the seller
0:17:11 > 0:17:15'into a ten-euro discount, but he's not stopping there.'
0:17:15 > 0:17:19- Trente-cinq. - SHE REMONSTRATES IN FRENCH
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Le desperado! - SHE LAUGHS
0:17:21 > 0:17:28'Yes, desperado John has made a final plea of 35 euros, but will it be understood?'
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- Yeah?- Oui.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Trente-cinq?- Oui.- Ah, merci! - SHE LAUGHS
0:17:34 > 0:17:3935 euros! I managed to get that for 35 euros. Thank you very much.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44I'm not sure what this lady's saying, but I think I've got a bargain!
0:17:44 > 0:17:47'Who needs language when you've got an eye for a deal?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49'John takes the cocktail strainer for...'
0:17:52 > 0:17:57It's been translated that she only gave me that price because of, apparently, my immense charm!
0:17:57 > 0:18:00'Well, who can resist Pompey's Prince Charming?'
0:18:00 > 0:18:03MUSIC: "Smooth Operator" by Sade
0:18:08 > 0:18:11It's probably 30 or 40 years old,
0:18:11 > 0:18:14but it does have the benefit of the Christofle name on there.
0:18:14 > 0:18:16Condition is not bad.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19The springs are a little stretched, but I'm happy with that.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23'With two buys now separating our racers on the treasure track,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27'John has spotted a late 19th-century umbrella stand
0:18:27 > 0:18:29'with a price tag of 130 euros.
0:18:29 > 0:18:32'Can John charm his way to another decent discount?'
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- Er...dernier prix?- Cent.- Cent?- Oui.
0:18:35 > 0:18:39'John smooth-talks his way to an immediate drop to 100 euros,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42'but he wants more.'
0:18:42 > 0:18:44- Mm...? Petit? - SHE LAUGHS
0:18:44 > 0:18:47LAUGHING
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Non!- Not quatre-vingt?
0:18:49 > 0:18:55I'm making her laugh. I'm not sure if it's my French or my cheekiness.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58LAUGHING: I can't. I'm so sorry.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04- All right. Cent. 100 euros it is. - SHE CONTINUES LAUGHING
0:19:04 > 0:19:07'John's not sure what he said to get the lady laughing,
0:19:07 > 0:19:11'but he still takes home the umbrella stand.'
0:19:12 > 0:19:17I've just bought myself a faux bamboo umbrella/stick stand.
0:19:17 > 0:19:21- SHE COMMENTS IN FRENCH - We've got the drip tray there.
0:19:21 > 0:19:26100 euros. The lady drove a very hard bargain, but she has a very nice smile.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30- LAUGHING: Thank you. - A bientot!- A bientot!
0:19:30 > 0:19:32'It's too late for flattery now.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36'John's closing the gap on his rival, who's called it a day.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41'Determined to end this battle neck-and-neck, John spies one last item
0:19:41 > 0:19:46'and wastes no time paying £51.28 for the novelty glass bottle.'
0:19:46 > 0:19:50A lot of these would have been thrown away and damaged.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54This would have come with some sort of sauce in it, I'd have thought.
0:19:54 > 0:19:59Condition's quite good. 19th-century press-moulded glass.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04These days, there is a big market for old bottles, novelty bottles.
0:20:04 > 0:20:08'With that final purchase, John has made a colossal come-back.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11'Now the chequered flag has fallen on this leg of the competition,
0:20:11 > 0:20:15'let's find out who's top of the standings.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18'Our tightly toned tacticians each started the day
0:20:18 > 0:20:21'with £750 worth of their own euros to spend.
0:20:21 > 0:20:26'John crossed the finish line with six items costing a total of...
0:20:29 > 0:20:33'Jonty also closed out the second lap with six items, costing him...
0:20:37 > 0:20:40'The buying race around the Parisian market is complete.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43'It's time for our antiques athletes
0:20:43 > 0:20:47'to inspect each other's French hauls.'
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I really couldn't find any bargains!
0:20:49 > 0:20:54In fact, the cheapest thing I got was 30 euros, bit of Crested China.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- What's that say, Nantwich?- Cheshire. - Near Paris(!)
0:20:58 > 0:21:00JOHN LAUGHS
0:21:00 > 0:21:03Jonty, you couldn't resist, could you?
0:21:03 > 0:21:07- No, I couldn't.- You couldn't resist a chair. I can't believe it.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10I couldn't, but 50 euros, for goodness' sake! That's cheap.
0:21:10 > 0:21:14But my best buy is my chandelier. I'm very happy with that.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18It needs to be rewired but the glass is all in good condition.
0:21:18 > 0:21:22- Yeah, just very, very pleased. - "Pleased" might be stretching it!
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I'm pleased with what I've got, not with what I paid.
0:21:25 > 0:21:29I think they're interesting items. I'm trying to be polite, John.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Time to wrap up, take it home.
0:21:31 > 0:21:33It was a difficult buying day.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37- Is it going to be even more difficult to sell?- Time will tell.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43'They may have slogged it out on foreign soil,
0:21:43 > 0:21:47'but our travelling treasure hunters are back in familiar surroundings
0:21:47 > 0:21:50'and are preparing for the most gruelling encounter of all -
0:21:50 > 0:21:52'selling their stash.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56'Both our legendary loot connoisseurs will have to dig deep,
0:21:56 > 0:22:00'dust off their little black books and explore every avenue of dealing,
0:22:00 > 0:22:03'if they're to emerge from this battle victorious.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09'At Cameron HQ in Portsmouth, our fearless forager is taking stock
0:22:09 > 0:22:11'of his Parisian purchases.'
0:22:11 > 0:22:15I think I bought quality. I may have paid lots, but I bought nice items.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17I've got my stick stand.
0:22:17 > 0:22:22I've got my wonderful Limoges pottery tong and snail fork rests.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24My tea cosy.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28My favourite item has to be my little Crested China pin dish.
0:22:28 > 0:22:33I've got all my items. I think I've got better quality than Jonty.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35Let's hope I make better profits.
0:22:35 > 0:22:37'Fighting talk from The Hammer.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40'He must also sell the mid 20th-century cocktail strainer
0:22:40 > 0:22:43'and the 19th-century novelty glass bottle.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46'Over at The Hitman homestead in Oxfordshire,
0:22:46 > 0:22:50'our unwavering warrior is feeling upbeat about HIS buys.'
0:22:50 > 0:22:55I have to say that my star item has to be my chum, the chandelier.
0:22:55 > 0:22:59I just think it's brilliant. It's 1930s. It's wrought iron.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02We have these lovely stylised roses and leaves.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Really, really good quality.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08And this chandelier is so beautifully typically French.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11I just think it's wonderful.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14My old trusty friend, an old trusty chair at £40.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18What a steal! That's an absolute bargain as well.
0:23:18 > 0:23:22So if you look hard enough, John, the bargains are out there.
0:23:22 > 0:23:26'Jonty also needs to sell the 1950s mirrored glass jewellery box,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29'the early 20th-century opera glasses,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31'the antique jeweller's ring sizer
0:23:31 > 0:23:34'and the early 20th-century mantel clock.
0:23:34 > 0:23:38'Our battling buyers will now transform into selling supermen
0:23:38 > 0:23:42'as they turn their treasures into cold hard cash.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45'There can only be one focus for these fellows - profit.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48'But remember, until they've shaken on it
0:23:48 > 0:23:52'and the money has changed hands, no deal is truly sealed.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57'The Hammer wastes no time in getting down to the nitty gritty.'
0:23:57 > 0:24:00I've come to Horndean near Portsmouth to see William,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04second-generation collector and dealer of Goss and Crested China.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08There's nothing I can teach him. They literally wrote the book.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I've had a look in their price guide
0:24:10 > 0:24:14and I know what they say my little Pickwick is worth.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The only mystery is going to be what they're prepared to pay me.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22'John paid £25.64 for the Crested China pin dish.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24'He's hoping William will find room for it
0:24:24 > 0:24:28'amongst the 3,000 pieces he's got in his family collection.'
0:24:30 > 0:24:33I'm hoping - although I suspect it's not the case -
0:24:33 > 0:24:36you haven't seen this little piece before.
0:24:36 > 0:24:40- There we are, in the flesh. What do you think?- Oh! Well!
0:24:40 > 0:24:44As it happens, John, I haven't actually seen this piece before.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48Straight away, I can tell it's by the Arcadian factory.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51This particular factory started up in 1903
0:24:51 > 0:24:54and continued production until about 1920.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56What collectors look for is condition.
0:24:56 > 0:25:01This piece is in exceptionally good condition. You've done well, John.
0:25:01 > 0:25:03I couldn't resist it.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06What fascinated me is it started out life in Stoke.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11It's ended up in Nantwich, where someone's bought it and then it found its way to Paris.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14The nice thing is I brought it back here
0:25:14 > 0:25:16with the little figure of Pickwick,
0:25:16 > 0:25:19to Portsmouth, the birthplace of Charles Dickens.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23- CHUCKLING:- I did take the liberty of having a look in your price guide
0:25:23 > 0:25:26as to what you think this is worth.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30I've seen in the book that you've got that valued at £65.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33What would you offer me today?
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I am, of course, buying to sell, as well as you are.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39I'd be willing to meet you somewhere in the middle
0:25:39 > 0:25:42and offer you £40 for this piece.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44£40?
0:25:44 > 0:25:48Hm... Could you do any better than that at all?
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Well, given the condition the piece is in,
0:25:51 > 0:25:55I'd be quite happy to go as far as 50.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58- £50, I would certainly...- Deal? - ..take your money.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03'John gets his selling spree off to a good start.
0:26:04 > 0:26:09'Jonty's wasted no time in opening his campaign in west London.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13'He's hoping to sell the mantel clock that cost £17.09
0:26:13 > 0:26:15'to clock expert and dealer Mick.'
0:26:15 > 0:26:19- It seems to tick but it needs a service.- It must need an overhaul.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- Yeah.- Absolutely. But I quite like the case.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26It's quite a nice case. It's Edwardian.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28About 1910.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- Yeah. So £75 was what I'm looking for.- Hm.- For this lovely clock.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37- It's...potentially worth £75. - JONTY LAUGHS
0:26:37 > 0:26:41But taking into account the work that needs doing to it,
0:26:41 > 0:26:44£50 would be about the most I'd want to pay for it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:46- £50?- Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- £55 you've got a deal, sir. - Hm.
0:26:50 > 0:26:54- I think I'm going to stick to my £50.- OK.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Well, I'm going to relent.- OK.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- I'm going to agree and say £50. - Thank you very much.
0:26:59 > 0:27:05'Yes, Mick's a tough haggler but Jonty still clocks up a profit of...
0:27:05 > 0:27:07'And The Hitman doesn't stop there.
0:27:07 > 0:27:10'He snatches the lead by selling the antique ring sizer
0:27:10 > 0:27:12'to a local dealer for £30,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16'giving him a perfect fit of £25.73 profit.'
0:27:18 > 0:27:20That has a jolly good ring to it.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24'Jonty's nemesis immediately retaliates.
0:27:24 > 0:27:28'John's targeted former world champion mixologist Paul
0:27:28 > 0:27:31'with the 1930s silver-plated strainer.'
0:27:32 > 0:27:35For something this age, this works beautifully!
0:27:35 > 0:27:40'And he sips up a cool and delicious profit of...
0:27:41 > 0:27:45'Our two duelling dealers are neck-and-neck with two sales each.
0:27:45 > 0:27:51'Hoping to regain the lead, Jonty's hot-footing it to his next dazzling deal.'
0:27:51 > 0:27:53This is my mirrored jewellery box.
0:27:53 > 0:27:58It's not everyone's cup of tea, but there is one particular dealer
0:27:58 > 0:28:01that I know trades in this sort of object.
0:28:01 > 0:28:03I just know she's going to love it.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07'Jonty paid £7.69 for the 1950s jewellery box.
0:28:07 > 0:28:13'He's hoping it will glisten with profit once vintage shop owner Paula lays eyes on it.'
0:28:13 > 0:28:17This is a beautiful object I bought in the middle of Paris.
0:28:17 > 0:28:19You sell jewellery boxes, don't you?
0:28:19 > 0:28:23- I do, but I've never seen anything like this before.- Really?- No.
0:28:23 > 0:28:26It's very interesting. This is French.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30That's probably why, but it is just up your street because it's 1950s.
0:28:30 > 0:28:32Oh, lovely! Wonderful!
0:28:32 > 0:28:37Open up the lid. On the inside, that's where you put your rings.
0:28:37 > 0:28:40That's an almost sprung interior.
0:28:40 > 0:28:43- We've also got a single drawer down below.- OK.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- More room for yet more jewellery. - It is, isn't it?
0:28:47 > 0:28:51- So, what were you thinking? - £55 is my asking price for it.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55That's a little bit high for me at the moment.
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I could probably do 40.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00- 40?- Yeah.
0:29:00 > 0:29:0340, 40. Can I squeeze you up a little? Say, 45?
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Or is 40...? - No, I'm so sorry. 40. Yeah. Mm-hm.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10- £40 is fine by me.- Thank you. - Very happy with that.- And me.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- I know that you'll make a big fat profit on that.- Thank you very much.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17'The Hitman nabs a glamorous profit...'
0:29:20 > 0:29:25- As nobody's looking, have you got anything in my size?- Oh, yes!
0:29:25 > 0:29:28# Man! I feel like a woman... #
0:29:28 > 0:29:30Too many sequins.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Wrong colour... Too boring... Too pink.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36# I feel like a woman! #
0:29:36 > 0:29:40Sadly, there was nothing for me to take away today,
0:29:40 > 0:29:43but all I've ended up with is an extra-large profit.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45What a result!
0:29:45 > 0:29:48'With the halfway mark on the horizon,
0:29:48 > 0:29:50'John's battle campaign continues.
0:29:50 > 0:29:55'He's not pulling any punches with his 19th-century novelty bottle.
0:29:55 > 0:29:59'He sells it to local collector Steve and rakes in a profit of...
0:30:01 > 0:30:04'With that, round one of this sellathon is over.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08'So, which of our antiques action men has hit the target
0:30:08 > 0:30:10'and which one has been firing blanks?
0:30:10 > 0:30:14'John "The Moneymaker" has sold three items...
0:30:16 > 0:30:21'The squire of selling, Jonty, has also sold three items...
0:30:24 > 0:30:28'Our two battling super-sellers may be neck-and-neck now,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31'but John's entering round two with trepidation,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35'as he knows Jonty still has his nursing chair to sell.'
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I've seen him snatch a win with those chairs in the past.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43But like the identity of who shot JR
0:30:43 > 0:30:45or who IS the Stig,
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Jonty's upholsterer is the envy of antiques dealers around the country.
0:30:50 > 0:30:55'John's fears could soon be realised as Jonty arrives with his chair
0:30:55 > 0:30:57'to show his mystery upholsterer.
0:30:57 > 0:30:59'Well, actually, he's called Greg.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02'This time, The Hitman isn't after his stitching prowess,
0:31:02 > 0:31:06'he's just hoping to sell him the chair that cost £32.74.'
0:31:06 > 0:31:10- Hi, Jonty. What you got here? - A little nursing chair for you.
0:31:10 > 0:31:13- Do you like it?- I do like it. - But it's not period.
0:31:13 > 0:31:18- You can tell by looking at the legs. - Yes.- Those legs there.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- How old do you think that chair is? - I'd put it around 1920s.
0:31:21 > 0:31:26- Yeah.- I'd have thought. Probably 1970s, fabric-wise.
0:31:26 > 0:31:30- What would you do with a chair like this?- Take the covering off.
0:31:30 > 0:31:32Get rid of the polyester wadding.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Really, put the traditional materials back in.
0:31:35 > 0:31:39- And then cover it.- Are you interested in buying it?- I am.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42I think I've got a client who would be interested in this.
0:31:42 > 0:31:45I'm looking for £150 for this chair.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47DRAWS BREATH
0:31:47 > 0:31:52- I'd probably say between 90 and 100. - Would you now?- I would.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56- What about 130? - I'd probably push it to about 115.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58- 115?- Yeah.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Another fiver more and it's yours.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05- Go on, then. I'll do it for 120. - Good man!
0:32:05 > 0:32:08'It's a comfortable profit for The Hitman...'
0:32:11 > 0:32:14It's profit, profit, profit.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17And I can just hear Cameron right now -
0:32:17 > 0:32:19crying like a baby.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22He's the one who needed that nursing chair.
0:32:22 > 0:32:27'Ooh, Jonty's not mincing his words, as he takes an early lead in the second half.
0:32:27 > 0:32:31'His fearless foe knows that slow and steady can also win the race.'
0:32:31 > 0:32:35I'm in Aylesbury to meet an escargot or snail farmer
0:32:35 > 0:32:38with my Limoges porcelain rests.
0:32:38 > 0:32:42I believe she has a million snails at least.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44That must generate a lot of slime.
0:32:44 > 0:32:49We're talking more slime than Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden can deal with!
0:32:49 > 0:32:53I'm taking no chances on the clothing front.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Hopefully, I'm going to get a profit out of my knife rests
0:32:56 > 0:32:59and not have to eat anything too unpalatable.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01'Snail farmer and contact Sophie
0:33:01 > 0:33:04'is a collector of all things snail related.
0:33:04 > 0:33:07'John's hoping that will include his escargot knife rests
0:33:07 > 0:33:09'that set him back £51.28.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14'Sophie has over one million snails on her farm,
0:33:14 > 0:33:18'but luckily for John they're all tucked away.'
0:33:18 > 0:33:21- Where's all the slime? - There isn't any slime.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Now, Sophie, I've got to ask,
0:33:23 > 0:33:28most people desperately try to get rid of snails from their gardens.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30- Why so many snails?- Ah.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Probably about half of these will go off to restaurants.
0:33:34 > 0:33:38About 3,000 or 4,000 a week or more go off to the restaurants.
0:33:38 > 0:33:43The remainder come through and produce escargot pearls, snail caviar.
0:33:43 > 0:33:48I have eaten escargot but I haven't tasted snail caviar. What's it like?
0:33:48 > 0:33:52- I don't know. It's kind of a mossy, woody...- I'm not convinced.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55The minute you taste it, it makes you think of the forest.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Eugh! Well, enough about that. Let's get down to business.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03You know why I'm here. You've seen pictures.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05I brought you these. Feast your eyes on that.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08I've got ten in total.
0:34:08 > 0:34:11Picked these up in Paris. They're wrapped up.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15- Because they're not damaged I wanted to keep them in good condition.- Wow!
0:34:15 > 0:34:17- Do you like those?- Yeah.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19They're by Limoges.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24This mottling here is very much a '30s thing.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I think these would date to the 1930s.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- They're great, aren't they? - Yeah. Definitely.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33There are ten of them. They are in good condition.
0:34:33 > 0:34:38And they are Limoges. Even if you said £20 each, it's only 200 quid.
0:34:38 > 0:34:40WHISTLES Ooh!
0:34:40 > 0:34:45- Got to come down a little bit there. - How much did you think?- 100?- 100?
0:34:45 > 0:34:50- That's only a tenner each!- 120? - You're going in the right direction!
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Slowly, slowly. Let's pick the pace up.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58- We've got to go by the pound. - We can do better than that.
0:34:58 > 0:35:01There are ten of them here. Do 180?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- NO! - We're getting nearer.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05No, no, no. 130?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07130? 160, come on!
0:35:07 > 0:35:11- Look at them.- 140, then. It's going to save my table getting burnt.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13JOHN LAUGHS 140.
0:35:13 > 0:35:19I'll tell you what. 150...and I'll eat some of that snail caviar.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23- OK. Deal. - Oh! What have I done?
0:35:23 > 0:35:27'John chows down with a tasty profit...
0:35:27 > 0:35:31'That's not the only thing he's chowing down on.'
0:35:31 > 0:35:32Here goes.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Hm. That's actually very good.
0:35:40 > 0:35:43'Yes, the face says it all.
0:35:43 > 0:35:46'Our profit-hungry expert has a thirst for another deal
0:35:46 > 0:35:49'and he wastes no time selling the 19th-century tea cosy
0:35:49 > 0:35:51'to cafe owner Alex.'
0:35:51 > 0:35:54- What do you think?- It's really nice.
0:35:54 > 0:35:56It's something we could definitely use.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59'He sips up a mouth-watering profit of...
0:36:01 > 0:36:05'Our eminent expert Jonty is not to be outdone.
0:36:05 > 0:36:08'He's already searching for his next buyer.
0:36:08 > 0:36:11'He paid £8.55 for the theatre binoculars.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15'Can he win a more dramatic profit from antiques trader Les?'
0:36:15 > 0:36:20- A-ha! You must be Les.- Jonty, hi. - How are you doing?- Nice to see you.
0:36:20 > 0:36:23Les, these are opera glasses that were made in France.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26They're dated to the early part of the 20th century.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30So these opera glasses are about 100 years old.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33- What sort of, er...?- What's the damage?- What's the damage?
0:36:33 > 0:36:36'The curtain's rising on this dramatic deal,
0:36:36 > 0:36:39'but will it be tragedy or triumph?'
0:36:39 > 0:36:4225 quid to you, sir.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46- It's a little bit higher than I expected you to say.- Really?
0:36:46 > 0:36:52- I'll offer you £12.- £12? I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56I'm lying on the floor and I'm breathing my last breath.
0:36:56 > 0:37:01- So I will say with my last breath... - £12.- ..it is £20.
0:37:01 > 0:37:05Jonty, my final offer is going to be £15.
0:37:05 > 0:37:1115 quid? I am at my last breath, I really am.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13- Here's 15 quid to you, sir. - Well done.
0:37:13 > 0:37:17'Jonty's hit a high note and nabs a profit of...'
0:37:19 > 0:37:21When the final curtain came down...
0:37:21 > 0:37:26SINGS OPERATICALLY # I was in for a big profit #
0:37:26 > 0:37:30'Hm. Jonty's singing success story may have evened up the competition,
0:37:30 > 0:37:33'but as our selling superstars prepare for their final bow,
0:37:33 > 0:37:36'they each have one item left to sell -
0:37:36 > 0:37:39'John his stick stand and Jonty his chandelier.
0:37:39 > 0:37:44'Both can smell victory, but only one of them will succeed.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48'In Portsmouth, John is hoping to be showered with profit
0:37:48 > 0:37:52'when he sells the umbrella stand that cost £85.47.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55'He's targeting local pub landlady Kate.'
0:37:57 > 0:38:01When you get the patrons coming in, and we get our fair share of rain,
0:38:01 > 0:38:05- where do they put their brollies? - Stand them in corners.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Anywhere, really.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Dripping all over the carpet? - Possibly, yeah.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13This is the thing I showed you in the photograph.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17When this was made, we're going back to the 1870s here, 1880s,
0:38:17 > 0:38:21there was a big craze for anything Japanese
0:38:21 > 0:38:23and a lot of bamboo, simulated bamboo.
0:38:23 > 0:38:26This isn't actually bamboo. It's simulated bamboo.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29The nice thing about it is it's in original condition
0:38:29 > 0:38:32and it still retains the drip pan.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Looking for around a couple of hundred pounds for it.
0:38:35 > 0:38:37Ooh.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42That's a lot for fake bamboo! BOTH LAUGH
0:38:42 > 0:38:45What do you think is a fair price for fake bamboo?
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- Well, more like 100, I think. - 100?- Mm.
0:38:48 > 0:38:51- What about 190?- What about 130?
0:38:51 > 0:38:54- Oh. Would you do 170?- 160.
0:38:54 > 0:38:56160 is your final price, yeah?
0:38:57 > 0:39:00OK. 160, you have yourself a deal.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02'It's raining cash for The Hammer,
0:39:02 > 0:39:07'as he soaks himself in £74.53 worth of profit.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10'Going for gold with his crucial final item is Jonty.
0:39:10 > 0:39:14'He's brought his favourite buy, the 1930s French chandelier
0:39:14 > 0:39:16'that cost £162.39,
0:39:16 > 0:39:21'to show antiques dealer Alan, who specialises in Art Deco.'
0:39:21 > 0:39:25Alan, I sent you pictures. This is it in real life. What do you think?
0:39:25 > 0:39:28It's almost got a little bit of crossover
0:39:28 > 0:39:31from Art Nouveau to the Art Deco period.
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- It's not pure Art Deco. It's a little bit more organic.- Yes.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38When you're saying that, that's really the flowers...
0:39:38 > 0:39:42- And the leaves.- Too realistic rather than being stylistic?- Yes.
0:39:42 > 0:39:46You're worrying me at the moment. ALAN LAUGHS
0:39:46 > 0:39:50The lights, I'm a big fan of the frosted glass.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54The frosted glass and this look I like. That's all really nice.
0:39:54 > 0:39:57It works well with the Deco period.
0:39:57 > 0:40:01It is, actually, only the flowery bit that doesn't appeal to me.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04I would have to get it completely rewired.
0:40:04 > 0:40:07You're looking at probably £150 on having the rewiring done.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10- Absolutely. So you've got to bear that in mind.- Yes.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Well, ideally, I'm looking for 400 quid for this.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16- OK, fine.- How does that grab you?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- That makes me instantly back away. - Right!
0:40:19 > 0:40:23'Jonty's prized purchase from Paris isn't having the desired effect.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26'Can he still pull a profit?'
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I'm not going to give you a very high offer.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30I'm going to come in at 150.
0:40:30 > 0:40:32150? That's killing me!
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Oh, dear.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38What about 225?
0:40:38 > 0:40:41No, I can't get to 225.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43200.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46- 175. - Can we do 185?
0:40:46 > 0:40:48Hm.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54- 185, OK. I will do 185. - Bless you. Thank you very much.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57'The lights have gone out on Jonty's super-profit...'
0:41:00 > 0:41:04I made the tiniest of profit but to me that's almost like a loss
0:41:04 > 0:41:07because I was expecting so much more.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12'That may not be the finale he hoped for but both boys are all sold up.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14'There's nothing more our battlers can do.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19'Their fate has been sealed and the winner will be revealed shortly.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22'Our duelling duo each started with...
0:41:37 > 0:41:41'Now, all that matters is who's made the most profit.
0:41:41 > 0:41:45'All the money John and Jonty made will go to charities of their choice.
0:41:45 > 0:41:50'Let's find out who is today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.'
0:41:50 > 0:41:54- Mr Hearnden.- How are you, John? - How did you find the selling?
0:41:54 > 0:41:58Very difficult, actually. I thought that I was plain sailing.
0:41:58 > 0:42:03I thought that I'd banked my money in my chandelier and it would do well. It bombed.
0:42:03 > 0:42:06I really didn't make hardly any profit on that at all.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Really disappointed. What about you?
0:42:09 > 0:42:14Well, did all right with my little escargot knife rests.
0:42:14 > 0:42:19- I think, overall, I've made a profit.- Shall we see how we've done? - OK. On three.
0:42:19 > 0:42:22One, two, three.
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- Oooh! Took me to the cleaners! - I don't know about that, Jonty.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30I'm surprised. I really had high hopes for your chandelier.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33And as soon as I saw the chair, I thought, "That's it."
0:42:33 > 0:42:36LAUGHS Didn't work out for me THIS time.
0:42:38 > 0:42:44'So, John Cameron hammered home a victory with a comfortable win over his rival.'
0:42:44 > 0:42:47I'm delighted to have beaten Jonty at the foreign market,
0:42:47 > 0:42:50not least because it was so hard to buy anything there.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55I had some great fun along the way, not least of all with those knife rests.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I made some great profits and, at the end of the day,
0:42:58 > 0:43:01the big-hitting Hammer hammered The Hitman.
0:43:01 > 0:43:03It was all about the chandelier.
0:43:03 > 0:43:05Sometimes you win. Sometimes you don't.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08It's in the lap of the gods sometimes.
0:43:08 > 0:43:11'Tomorrow, Jonty gets the chance to redeem himself,
0:43:11 > 0:43:15'as the boys go head-to-head at an antiques fair in West Sussex.'
