0:00:44 > 0:00:49Today, Oxfordshire's no-nonsense negotiator Jonty Hearnden
0:00:49 > 0:00:52takes on Morecambe's politest plunderer, Paul Hayes.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Coming up - Jonty can't believe his luck...
0:00:55 > 0:00:59I've found a bargain in the most expensive market in Paris! Wow!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01..Paul sings for his supper...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04# Merci beaucoup... # You understand? Vous connais?
0:01:04 > 0:01:06THEY LAUGH
0:01:06 > 0:01:10..and Jonty shows us the importance of ageing gracefully.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Up here there's just a very small amount of pitting,
0:01:14 > 0:01:17so slight damage, but that's perfect,
0:01:17 > 0:01:21because it shows us that this mirror is old.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Today's show-stopping buying spectacular is set in Paris,
0:01:40 > 0:01:44surely the most romantic city in the world.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Our two leading men will have to dance, sing and bargain
0:01:47 > 0:01:49as they haggle to get the best deals.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53They'll need to bring out their greatest performances
0:01:53 > 0:01:56in this musical melee, as profit is the number-one hit here.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00He's been warming up his vocal cords, looking to break his way
0:02:00 > 0:02:02into the antiques hall of fame.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05It's the original song-and-dance dealer,
0:02:05 > 0:02:08Paul "Mr Morecambe" Hayes!
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Wish me luck. Bonne chance.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12And introducing the man who'll be fighting him
0:02:12 > 0:02:16for the best bargains, bringing a bit of glitz and glamour
0:02:16 > 0:02:18and a hard haggling eye to this production,
0:02:18 > 0:02:21it's Jonty "The Hitman" Hearnden.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's like an Aladdin's cave in here.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Today's matinee performance takes place at St-Ouen flea market,
0:02:26 > 0:02:29the world's largest antiques market, with over 2,500 dealers,
0:02:29 > 0:02:32and covering more than 17 acres.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35So our two antiques artists will need to hit all the right notes
0:02:35 > 0:02:38if they want to come out on top.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41They've each got ?750 of their own euros to spend,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and all the profit goes to their chosen charities.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46You're on in five, Jonty Hearnden and Paul Hayes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50It's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53So, where are we, Jonty? That's a very good question.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57Of course we're in the heart of Paris, the St-Ouen market... Right.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00..which is, and I don't want to alarm you, really quite expensive.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You've been here before, haven't you? Yes, I have,
0:03:03 > 0:03:06and today's going to be a tough challenge. Good luck,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08but I have a pocket full of euros. So do I.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11?750 worth. That's about 800, just over 800 euros.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Do you think these shops are going to be the place to buy the things?
0:03:15 > 0:03:17There's all sorts of places to buy here.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You've got to look as hard as you possibly can.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Good luck. I'm going to get myself lost in Paris. See you later.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27# Bonjour Paris #
0:03:27 > 0:03:30Our two dealers have pockets full of dosh
0:03:30 > 0:03:34that they're just itching to spend, so it's lights, camera and action!
0:03:34 > 0:03:37But this isn't Jonty's first time on set. Oh, no.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40This is a market that I've been to before,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42so hopefully that's to my advantage,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45because there are little nooks and crannies where you have to go,
0:03:45 > 0:03:49so I'm just ducking and diving into these smaller back avenues
0:03:49 > 0:03:52which are just perfect for bargain-spotting.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Brimming with confidence as always, Jonty. But watch out,
0:03:55 > 0:03:59because Paul's got a plan that could bring the house down.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02What Jonty doesn't realise is that I have a secret plan,
0:04:02 > 0:04:04a strategy to win this competition.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08Here in Paris there's a great fondness, a great enthusiasm,
0:04:08 > 0:04:11for British singers. So I've come here in my best suit
0:04:11 > 0:04:14trying to impress the stallholders and the shop-owners,
0:04:14 > 0:04:17see if I can get a good price. So I've actually written a song.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21There goes Paul, a one-man, music-making, buying machine.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Both our dealers are tightly wound and ready to spring into action
0:04:24 > 0:04:26as soon as something catches the eye,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29but the man from Morecambe is first to pick up the scent
0:04:29 > 0:04:32of a potential bargain. He's spotted a bit of bronze
0:04:32 > 0:04:35that he thinks could net him a profit.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Madame? Bonjour. Bonjour.
0:04:38 > 0:04:39C'est le prix pour ca? Yes, it is.
0:04:39 > 0:04:42I like it. Le dernier prix pour moi?
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Oui. Have ten percent off that, so it is 80.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48?80. ?80. Not ?80.
0:04:48 > 0:04:5180 euro. THEY LAUGH
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Could I ask maybe ?70? Could you possibly...
0:04:54 > 0:04:58Oh, I don't know how much it is pounds.
0:04:58 > 0:05:0270 euro. You have a very difficult...
0:05:02 > 0:05:07very hard... Really? I don't think I'm hard.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Our blooming bargainer seems to be struggling to charm the price down,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14but don't worry, viewer, as Paul still has his secret plan
0:05:14 > 0:05:16up his sleeve.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20I tell you what's happening. In England, I'm a singer.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23In England, a chanson, OK? # I'm in a competition
0:05:23 > 0:05:26# To buy and sell antiques
0:05:26 > 0:05:29# I have to buy some things from here
0:05:29 > 0:05:31# And sell them in two weeks
0:05:31 > 0:05:33# I would like to buy this lovely piece
0:05:33 > 0:05:35# To beat that friend of mine
0:05:35 > 0:05:37# If you would please give me your best price
0:05:37 > 0:05:39# Then, I will give you mine...
0:05:39 > 0:05:41SHE LAUGHS # Merci beaucoup #
0:05:41 > 0:05:44You understand? Vous connais? HE LAUGHS
0:05:44 > 0:05:47Yes, what a charmer! He must have won her round.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50Does that make any difference to the price? Non.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53HE LAUGHS For, um, English people,
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I say, for you, 70.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Oh, merci beaucoup.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01Bravo! Paul's plan pays off,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04and he gets his bronze carving of a crustacean for a song,
0:06:04 > 0:06:06at ?63.64.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10I'm delighted with this little item here.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14I bought myself a Japanese bronze. It dates from about 1880,
0:06:14 > 0:06:18and it's been made by the top craftsmen of the day,
0:06:18 > 0:06:21the Japanese metalworkers who were working on Samurai swords.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25The fashion stopped, so they started to produce commercial bronzes
0:06:25 > 0:06:27where the quality are always superb, like this.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31The way to tell, really, it's a lot more natural.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33The French and English designers tend to be romantic.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36This is very realistic, and that's typically Japanese.
0:06:36 > 0:06:40It's superb, and there's definitely a good chance of a profit on it.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44As our performing purchaser hot- foots it off to find another hit,
0:06:44 > 0:06:47Jonty's had his head turned by a chest of drawers.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50This is a 20th-century piece of furniture.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53You can tell a lot by looking at the inside of the drawer.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56The lining here is contemporary, so 20th century.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59If it was older, this would have no polish in here at all.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03It has some kind of industrial finish. This is all machine-cut.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07I can instantly tell this is 20th century, not 19th century.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09And while Jonty ponders over the drawers,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12he spots something glistening in the corner.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14Could this mirror prove to be a hidden treasure?
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Er, 50. Cinquante.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Oui? Cinquante?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Have a look at this. Before I part with the money...
0:07:23 > 0:07:27First of all, have a look at the back. It doesn't excite me,
0:07:27 > 0:07:29because there's all machine-made here.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33If this was a period mirror, there'd be irregularities to it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35But just take a look at the front.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36It has a really antique feel.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38It has a really antique feel.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41So the style of this mirror is 18th century,
0:07:41 > 0:07:46but it's an absolute copy, probably no more than 30, 40 years old.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49But that's fine, because it just has the look,
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and for 50 euros, I see that there's a profit in that.
0:07:53 > 0:07:58Look, I've found a bargain in the most expensive market in Paris! Wow!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02C'est magnifique! His mirror comes to ?45.45,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04so Jonty tries for an encore,
0:08:04 > 0:08:08heading back to the chest of drawers he was eyeing up earlier.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, your best price, 150 euros? Yes.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12OK. Good. Good.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Merci. Merci.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Jonty is stealing the show as he negotiates a deal for the drawers,
0:08:19 > 0:08:22coming in at ?136.36.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27While the Hitman is finding it easy to splash the cash,
0:08:27 > 0:08:31Paul's spotted some pretty pictures that are way out of his league.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33These are the sort of thing I'd love to buy,
0:08:33 > 0:08:36the extremely Art Deco travel posters. Wonderful.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39But those are 4,000 euros. Gosh, you could buy that cruise ship!
0:08:39 > 0:08:43Yes, but you'd have trouble getting it back in your hand luggage, Paul!
0:08:43 > 0:08:45So, as he ploughs on trying to bag a bargain,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Jonty thinks he's already found one -
0:08:48 > 0:08:50an iron window grille.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Date-wise, we're probably looking at turn of the century.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56If it had been Victorian or 19th century,
0:08:56 > 0:08:58it would have had a little bit more detail.
0:08:58 > 0:09:00It's just fabulously decorative,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and it's the sort of thing that we just don't have in the UK,
0:09:03 > 0:09:10and it's the sort of object that dealers and traders really want to get their hands on back home.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Jonty strikes while the iron is hot,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15and picks up the window grille for ?40.91.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18With that, the scene-stealer from Oxfordshire leaps into the lead
0:09:18 > 0:09:20with three items under his belt.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23But is Paul about to upset the apple cart?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27A set of 12 decorative menu holders have caught his eye.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30These are really interesting. These are little menu holders
0:09:30 > 0:09:32or card holders, and they're a set of 12.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I thought they might be solid silver. The lady said they're plate.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39You put your little business card in there, you see, or your menu.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42These are 120 euros for 12, which is like a tenner each.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Le dernier prix? 100.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47100 pour moi? Yes. Yes. I love them.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49So his haggling bears fruit
0:09:49 > 0:09:52as he gets the price down to around eight euros each,
0:09:52 > 0:09:56but our serenading songster still has his ace to play.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59# I'm in a competition
0:09:59 > 0:10:00# To buy and sell antiques
0:10:00 > 0:10:03# I have to buy and sell some things from here
0:10:03 > 0:10:05# And sell them in two weeks
0:10:05 > 0:10:07# I would like to buy these lovely things
0:10:07 > 0:10:09# To beat that friend of mine
0:10:09 > 0:10:12# If would give me your best price then, I will give you mine #
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Vous connais? Ah, I understand, yes.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16THEY LAUGH
0:10:16 > 0:10:23How can any animal, mineral or vegetable resist those dulcet tones? Surely she's putty in his hands!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26OK. You... No. 100... Is it.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Or not.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Do you want? Deal. OK. Merci beaucoup.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34The seller might not have succumbed to the little ditty,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36but Paul's still pleased to walk away with his menu holders
0:10:36 > 0:10:39for ?90.91.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Across the market, Jonty's buying streak continues
0:10:42 > 0:10:45as he makes another two purchases.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I was instantly taken to this lamp, which is really stylish.
0:10:49 > 0:10:531950s, 1960s. That is just perfect for the UK market.
0:10:53 > 0:10:57And I was also attracted to this mirrored picture frame.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00Very popular in France in the 1950s and 1960s,
0:11:00 > 0:11:05and if you look at the back, you can see clearly this is a picture frame
0:11:05 > 0:11:08that is a good 50, 60 years in date.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10This lamp started off at 30 euros.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I managed to get that down to 15.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16The picture frame started off at 12 euros.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20I've got that down to five euros. Are you listening, Paul Hayes?
0:11:20 > 0:11:23Paul probably can't hear you over all the singing.
0:11:23 > 0:11:29Jonty's hard haggling pays off as he picks up the lamp for ?13.64
0:11:29 > 0:11:32and the photo frame for ?4.55.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38And yet he's still unable to tear himself away from his stall,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41and has spotted something else he wants to buy.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Back home, this would be generically known as a ladies' pocket watch,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49because it's small. Gents' pocket watches tend to be a lot bigger.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51We have some interesting marks on the inside,
0:11:51 > 0:11:54which indicate that this is silver.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58The original price tag was 25 euros,
0:11:58 > 0:12:00and I got that down to 15.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03What a fantastic bargain!
0:12:03 > 0:12:06The Hitman scores yet another purchase,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08picking up a pocket watch for ?13.64.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11He's storming ahead of our warbling warrior,
0:12:11 > 0:12:14and hogging all the limelight. But the leading man from Morecambe
0:12:14 > 0:12:16won't be left waiting in the wings for long,
0:12:16 > 0:12:20as he swoops in for a closer look at a statue.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23This dates from the 19th century.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26It's a classical pose. She's quite morose.
0:12:26 > 0:12:28It could be an ornament, maybe, for a grave
0:12:28 > 0:12:31or, perhaps, an important building.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Why I like carvings is that every one is unique.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37This has been hand-done. This has all been sculpted.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39Bonjour, monsieur! Bonjour. Ca va?
0:12:39 > 0:12:42How much is it? Do you know? The last price?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Yes? 130. 130 to death?
0:12:44 > 0:12:46OK. Well, do you know what?
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Sometimes you have to take a chance in life. Yeah, OK.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52Take your chance. OK. OK.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55I'll buy that. I'll have that. 130. Merci, monsieur.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58So, the statue comes in at ?118.18.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01Why didn't you use your secret weapon, Paul?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Don't tell us you've given up on it.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Perhaps he should try it out on his rival,
0:13:06 > 0:13:09as our two travelling treasure-hunters cross paths.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Ah! Mr Hearnden! Bonjour. Ca va? How's it going for you?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16It's going all right, thank you very much. I went inside.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19I tried to buy a couple of bits and pieces, and I bought a couple.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22So, how have you done? Good. I've bought a load of scrap iron.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Really? I actually bought this grille that goes over a window.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29I bought some furniture as well, a mirror and a chest of drawers.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32It's a great place. I'll try a few more outdoor pitches now.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35That means I need to go indoors. I've used my secret weapon.
0:13:35 > 0:13:37Secret weapon? # Merci beaucoup #
0:13:37 > 0:13:41Good luck. Interesting! Secret weapon, eh? Secret weapon?
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Oh, Jonty, you must be the only one still in the dark
0:13:44 > 0:13:46about Paul's sensational singing.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48And now it's time for a short interval,
0:13:48 > 0:13:50to take a look at the spending
0:13:50 > 0:13:53and see who is centre stage and who is the box-office flop.
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Jonty and Paul each had up to ?750 of their own cash to spend today.
0:13:57 > 0:14:03Paul's made only three deals, and spent ?272.73,
0:14:03 > 0:14:07leaving him with ?477.27 to spend.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10He's buying little but spending big.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15Jonty, on the other hand, is buying big and spending little,
0:14:15 > 0:14:19having purchased six items for ?254.55,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23leaving him with ?495.45.
0:14:24 > 0:14:28So, the lights are back up on this buying extravaganza
0:14:28 > 0:14:31as our two star-crossed dealers return to the stage.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33With the final curtain drawing ever nearer,
0:14:33 > 0:14:35both must now pick up the pace,
0:14:35 > 0:14:39and it's Jonty who's first to home in on another potential purchase
0:14:39 > 0:14:42when he spots a decorative table.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46Classic French form, cabriole legs, so that's an outswept leg.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51We've got this serpentine front, which means it's slightly bowed
0:14:51 > 0:14:53in the middle, bowed on the side,
0:14:53 > 0:14:58and it's been painted in that very fashionable colour tone
0:14:58 > 0:15:00that work so well in the UK.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03Now, she's asking 80 euros for it at the moment.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07Madame, s'il vous plait. Soixante pour moi?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09Oui? Bon.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12Jonty's spending spree continues,
0:15:12 > 0:15:15and he gets his table for ?54.55.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17And his rival's in the swing of things, too,
0:15:17 > 0:15:21as across the market, Paul's picked up some light reading.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23C'est combien? 20 euro. 20 euro for...
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Each. Each. So, what we've got here is an original comic
0:15:27 > 0:15:30to do with Mickey Mouse. Le dernier prix?
0:15:30 > 0:15:33Oh, no. It's a cheap price. OK. OK!
0:15:33 > 0:15:35HE LAUGHS
0:15:35 > 0:15:38The lady seems to be sticking to her original price.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Now, if only there was something Paul could do
0:15:41 > 0:15:43to swing this in his favour.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48May I sing you a song? Est-ce je peux une chanson pour vous? Oui?
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Maybe we'll just skip this one.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53# Merci beaucoup # HE LAUGHS
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Oh, Paul, she's spellbound! Enchanted!
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Has your song finally worked its magic?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02C'est... It's the dernier prix? Oui.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Oui. OK, OK.
0:16:04 > 0:16:07Perhaps not. Paul's really giving it his all,
0:16:07 > 0:16:10but he's working a hard crowd. He did get his comic, though,
0:16:10 > 0:16:12and for only ?18.18.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I'm really pleased with this. This is a very rare item indeed.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21We've got a comic from 1935 which features Mickey Mouse.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Now, if my recollection is correct,
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Mickey only really appeared as we know him from about 1932,
0:16:27 > 0:16:31so this is very early on in his career, and collectors do go mad.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33If this was in England, I'd expect to pay a lot more.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36That's a great, saleable item. Bit of memorabilia,
0:16:36 > 0:16:38and it's fun to read as well.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Yeah, but there's no time for reading now, Paul,
0:16:41 > 0:16:45as speedy spendthrift Jonty has spotted a potential eighth purchase.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47How cheap could this mirror be to me?
0:16:47 > 0:16:50So, this one is at 220. Yeah.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55And for you I can do it for a really good price - 170.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58That's not a very good price.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00150. You can do it at 150?
0:17:00 > 0:17:05Well, it's real... It's about... About a hundred years old, huh?
0:17:05 > 0:17:07Yeah. That's it. OK.
0:17:07 > 0:17:10And the price I made you was really the best price.
0:17:10 > 0:17:14OK. It's mine. 150. OK.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18And just like that, Jonty bags his second mirror of the day
0:17:18 > 0:17:20for ?136.36.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24The most important thing with mirrors
0:17:24 > 0:17:26is to make sure the plate is in good condition.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32So if you see, just up here, there's just a very small amount of pitting,
0:17:32 > 0:17:34so slight damage, but that's perfect,
0:17:34 > 0:17:39because it shows us that this mirror is old.
0:17:39 > 0:17:42It's actually in very good condition. So the question for me is,
0:17:42 > 0:17:46do I paint it and get it up to a very saleable state,
0:17:46 > 0:17:49or do I just pass it on to the trade?
0:17:49 > 0:17:53With that purchase, Jonty finally shells out some serious euros,
0:17:53 > 0:17:57but it seems Paul's definitely got his spending mojo going too,
0:17:57 > 0:18:01as he sets his sights on a vase priced up at 350 euros.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Now, I did set out to buy something typically French.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07So why am I looking at a Japanese vase?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Well, in a roundabout way, this is French.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14It dates from the 1880s, 1900. It's Japanese Satsuma pottery,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17and it's a region in Japan where they manufacture all this stuff.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20It's top quality. But when it arrived here in France,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23they tended to mount it with these ormolu mounts.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26This is gilded bronze. What I like about this one
0:18:26 > 0:18:28is that it has two potential buyers or two functions,
0:18:28 > 0:18:30one being a collector of the Satsuma pottery,
0:18:30 > 0:18:35the other being a collector of oil lamps, so two bites of the cherry.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37Now, Paul's already serenaded this seller,
0:18:37 > 0:18:39so will she more receptive this time,
0:18:39 > 0:18:42even with his faltering Franglais?
0:18:42 > 0:18:47Mais... It, um... Est-ce que je peux acheter pour trois cents,
0:18:47 > 0:18:49s'il vous plait, pour moi?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53About 300 euros, for those of you who don't speak Franglais.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Trois cents? Trois cents. Trois cent euro, pour moi.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00For you, it's OK. OK! THEY LAUGH
0:19:00 > 0:19:03That's lovely. Ah, merci beaucoup, madame. OK. Merci beaucoup.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07So, it seems Paul's charm is working its magic after all,
0:19:07 > 0:19:12but the vase still sets our big spender back ?272.73.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16# Hey, big spender #
0:19:18 > 0:19:20Paul is spending money like water,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23but Jonty is sticking by his tight-fisted tactics,
0:19:23 > 0:19:26and something fishy is about to go down
0:19:26 > 0:19:28as he spots a set of six moulds.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32Qu'est-ce que c'est, madame? Pour... Pour le chocolat.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Pour chocolat. Chocolat de Paques. OK.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Quel age? Dix-neuf cent cinquante, dix-neuf cent soixante.
0:19:37 > 0:19:401960s. OK. Yeah, yeah. They're great fun.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44C'est combien? Vingt-cinq. Vingt-cinq.
0:19:44 > 0:19:46What's your dernier prix? Vingt.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Vingt? Oui. Quinze? Non.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Vingt? Oui. OK.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54I will buy those, because apart from anything else I'm feeling hungry,
0:19:54 > 0:19:58and I just love seeing things that I've never seen before.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03That is just perfect. I am going to find a chocolatier who will fall in love with these.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Oh, stop it, Jonty! You're making us all hungry!
0:20:06 > 0:20:10And at ?18.18, he'll be hoping for a tasty profit.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13Meanwhile, Paul has managed to find someone
0:20:13 > 0:20:16even more theatrical than himself.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19C'est combien, ca? HE SPEAKS RAPID FRENCH
0:20:22 > 0:20:25OK. So, four euros, I can buy this one?
0:20:25 > 0:20:28I hope... I hope you can. OK. We shall shake hands.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30I hope... I hope for you.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34What a bargain! And Paul is all smiles
0:20:34 > 0:20:37as he snaps up the Charlie Chaplin poster for ?3.64.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41I've been wandering round, and I've finally found something affordable.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44A complete bargain, I think. There's no great age to it,
0:20:44 > 0:20:47but it's very visual. Film posters are extremely expensive
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and very saleable. And what I liked about it, A, it's Charlie Chaplin,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53probably the greatest silent-movie actor ever,
0:20:53 > 0:20:57and also it's Sur La Plage, which is On The Beach,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00and, of course, I live in Morecambe, which is a seaside town.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04And, with that final purchase, both our experts are all bought up.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07As we draw the curtain on this antiques extravaganza,
0:21:07 > 0:21:10it's time to see what they both spent.
0:21:10 > 0:21:12Jonty and Paul both started the day
0:21:12 > 0:21:14with ?750 of their own money.
0:21:14 > 0:21:20Paul bought big, spending ?567.28 on just six items.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Jonty put on a purchasing performance,
0:21:22 > 0:21:26making nine deals, but spending over ?100 less.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30His total was ?463.64.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33But this is all about who's going to make the most profit.
0:21:33 > 0:21:37With all their euros and cents counted
0:21:37 > 0:21:40and the buying drawn to a close, it's time for our two experts
0:21:40 > 0:21:44to get off the lot and go through their award-winning buys.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Jonty, is there anything that you haven't bought here today?
0:21:47 > 0:21:49You've bought a whole bedroom suite.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53I'm even loaning my furniture for putting your stuff on, as well.
0:21:53 > 0:21:57I know, and don't they look great? I have to say, Paul,
0:21:57 > 0:21:59that is amazing. What a purchase! Thank you very much.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02How much did it cost you? I'm pleased to think that,
0:22:02 > 0:22:04cos it cost me all the money. Really? It was 300 euros.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08It's worth it, though. But it's the best I've ever seen.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11What's been your favourite thing? I'm pleased with my furniture.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Have a look at this. Right, OK. I like that.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17What are you going to do with that?
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I have no idea. It's a real, proper architectural salvage piece.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Now, are you feeling peckish? I am feeling peckish, actually.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Do you know what I'm going to treat you to? A croque-monsieur.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31It's a cheese-and-ham toastie, but they do it the wrong way round.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37After the box-office bonanza, there was the buying.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39It's now time for the hotly anticipated sequel,
0:22:39 > 0:22:43as our debonair dealers go head-to-head
0:22:43 > 0:22:45selling their Gallic goods.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48In his Oxfordshire dressing room,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Jonty's taking a tour through his French fancies.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55As you can see, I brought half Paris back to the Oxfordshire countryside.
0:22:55 > 0:22:58But I'm very pleased with what I got.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02This chest of drawers - what a fabulous first purchase this was!
0:23:02 > 0:23:05I'm very pleased also with this table sitting beside it,
0:23:05 > 0:23:09with the cabriole legs. This grille - what a bargain!
0:23:09 > 0:23:12I've got a dealer already lined up with this.
0:23:12 > 0:23:14This was so cheap. This is very reasonable.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18I'm sure I can find a buyer for that. And likewise, this mirror here,
0:23:18 > 0:23:21this lovely carved-oak mirror, 19th century -
0:23:21 > 0:23:25I think I've got a dealer already that's interested in that.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28My small little items here, little table retro light,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32retro frame, and also this lovely chocolate mould.
0:23:32 > 0:23:36And last but not least, my little gem. My little antique,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40my pocket watch. We've got large and very small,
0:23:40 > 0:23:44but there's a common theme that runs through all of this - profit.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47Yes, Jonty means business, but so does his rival,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49as up in Morecambe, Paul's rehearsing his lines
0:23:49 > 0:23:52and checking out his own prop collection.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Bonjour, mes amis! There you are. I can speak perfect Franglais.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59I'm delighted with what I've bought.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02My favourite item has to be this beautiful sculpture.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05I think she's exquisite.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07The Japanese vase, it's top, top quality.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Satsuma ware you can find from the worst quality to the best.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14This is the best. That's going to be a great-selling item.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The French comic... There you are. Mickey Mouse, 1935.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20The start of his career, when he was nobody.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23And of course we have this movie poster.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26Everyone loves these old films. Charlie Chaplin, Sur La Plage,
0:24:26 > 0:24:30which is On The Beach. Er, the crustacean...
0:24:30 > 0:24:32What can I say about that? It's Japanese, it's bronze,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and these wonderful silver apples.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37These were designed to hold your name card,
0:24:37 > 0:24:40so you knew where to sit at an elaborate meal or function,
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and another great-selling item. C'est formidable!
0:24:43 > 0:24:46Full of confidence and charm,
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Paul will need to pull out all the stops
0:24:48 > 0:24:52as he goes up against the cold, hard determination of the Hitman.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The phone-bashing now starts as both dealers hit up their contacts,
0:24:55 > 0:24:58old and new. But remember, no deal is complete
0:24:58 > 0:25:00until it's settled with a handshake.
0:25:00 > 0:25:04And it's Jonty who's first out of the gates
0:25:04 > 0:25:06as he heads to Henley-on-Thames with his iron window grille.
0:25:06 > 0:25:11When it comes to selling, he'll happily swap the glamour of the stage for the graft of a sale.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15I'm in an industrial estate, so it looks rather plain
0:25:15 > 0:25:18from the outside here, but I've come to meet Gary,
0:25:18 > 0:25:21and he has an Aladdin's cave of goodies.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Let's hope he makes your wishes come true, Jonty.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Gary's an antiques and architectural salvage merchant,
0:25:28 > 0:25:32but will he give Jonty a profit on the ?40.91 he spent on the grille?
0:25:32 > 0:25:34What's your first impressions?
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Shouldn't say this before I've bought it, but I love it.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42That's a relief! Date-wise, I think this is probably turn of the century.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44It's about 100 years old. If not a little older, I think.
0:25:44 > 0:25:47Do you think so? Do you think it's more 19th century?
0:25:47 > 0:25:53I think so, yeah. The quality of the casting is really quite superb,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56but also we can see that it's got real age because we've got depth,
0:25:56 > 0:25:59layers of colour, layers of paint.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Another good way of telling if something is genuinely old
0:26:03 > 0:26:05is the layers of paint on something like this.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07What would you do with something like this?
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Gut instinct is, I'd put a mirror behind that.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14Failing that, it could be a console. Make a great console table.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Right. Well, let's cut to the chase. I want ?400 for this grille.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Whoa! HE LAUGHS
0:26:19 > 0:26:24It's not unreasonable, but I'd need to get it for less than that
0:26:24 > 0:26:26for me to be able to do a bit more with it.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29OK. Well, tell me where you're at.
0:26:29 > 0:26:31300. 300?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34You can't do a bit more than that? What about 325?
0:26:35 > 0:26:38325? That's OK. That's good. I can do that.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40You happy? Yeah. That's brilliant. Thank you, sir.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43# Any old iron, any old iron #
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yes, direct and decisive in his dealing,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49Jonty walks away with a whopping profit of just over ?284.
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Seems it's not just any old iron after all.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55Cunning Jonty spotted the window grille's potential,
0:26:55 > 0:26:59and with the buyer confident of a profit, everyone's happy.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I know that, with a bit of creativity and a bit of skill,
0:27:03 > 0:27:06I can turn it into a nice profit.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11But back in Morecambe, Paul's got his work cut out.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13He's eager to claw back the advantage
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and is fishing for a profit on the bronze crustacean
0:27:16 > 0:27:18he bought for just under ?64.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23He's no slouch when it comes to reeling in the right buyers,
0:27:23 > 0:27:26and he's found Mark, whose family have been potting shrimps
0:27:26 > 0:27:28for over 200 years.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Ah, good morning, Mark! Morning. Are you well?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34Very well, thank you. I can smell that lovely aroma of potted shrimps.
0:27:34 > 0:27:39What I've brought you along is a wonderful bronze crustacean.
0:27:39 > 0:27:44That looks like a brown shrimp, better known as Crangon crangon.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48It dates from about 1880, 1900. It's an interesting object. Right.
0:27:48 > 0:27:53How much are we looking? Well, it stands me at ?65,
0:27:53 > 0:27:56but it is a Japanese bronze and it's a saleable thing in its own right.
0:27:56 > 0:28:00Mm. If I asked you ?100 for it, would that be out of the way,
0:28:00 > 0:28:02do you think?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05Bit more than I'd be wanting to pay, really.
0:28:05 > 0:28:08So even if I offered you 70, you've still made a fiver.
0:28:08 > 0:28:10THEY LAUGH
0:28:10 > 0:28:13If you did ?80, I'll help you out in some way
0:28:13 > 0:28:17in what you're doing here today. So, you'll put the blue hair net on
0:28:17 > 0:28:20and a white coat? That sound all right to you?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22For ?80. Great start. You got a deal.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25That's fantastic. Thank you very much.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28And with that sale, he hits a profit of ?16.36.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33But Paul must make it official by joining the potting production line.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38This is quite therapeutic, isn't it, really?
0:28:38 > 0:28:41Is it your kind of "plaice", Paul?
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Ah! There we are. Wasn't that wonderful,
0:28:46 > 0:28:48to re-home that beautiful bronze item?
0:28:48 > 0:28:51I'm sure Mark will be delighted with that here,
0:28:51 > 0:28:53and we made a bit of a profit.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55And I've learned a lot about potted shrimps!
0:28:55 > 0:28:58So I'm on my way now to a seafood disco.
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Last time I was there, I pulled a "mussel"!
0:29:00 > 0:29:02RIMSHOT
0:29:02 > 0:29:04At least you're having a whale of a time.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07And in Oxfordshire, Jonty's pretty chipper too.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09Still flying high from his first deal,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12he's trying to clock up sale number two.
0:29:12 > 0:29:14He's hoping to sell his ladies' pocket watch
0:29:14 > 0:29:17to contact Andy, a jeweller.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20It's seen better days, I have to say that,
0:29:20 > 0:29:23but it is silver, silver cased. And also I am convinced
0:29:23 > 0:29:26that the fob chain is silver. There's no marks on there at all.
0:29:26 > 0:29:29It certainly feels like silver. It's got the weight there.
0:29:29 > 0:29:32Yeah. It dates it into the 19th century
0:29:32 > 0:29:36rather than the 20th century. I can hear it ticking, Jonty.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38The watch is working, which is a bonus.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41Yeah, I think we could probably do something on that. You like it?
0:29:41 > 0:29:44I like it, yeah. Price? 75 quid.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47How about 60? That would be good for me,
0:29:47 > 0:29:50and I think a fair price for you too.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Happy. I'm happy with that. Andy, thanks very much indeed.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58Yes! Jonty picks up a respectable ?46.36 profit.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Meanwhile in Stockport,
0:30:00 > 0:30:03Paul's hoping his next sale will see him hit the selling big-time.
0:30:03 > 0:30:06He's found Alfred, a specialist in Oriental antiques,
0:30:06 > 0:30:10who should be the perfect buyer for his Satsuma vase.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13But will Paul be able to squeeze him for a profit?
0:30:14 > 0:30:18I bought this out in Paris, and in the traditional French way,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21it's been mounted in ormolu, but this is Japanese Satsuma.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I know this is beautiful quality.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26Does it get any finer than this? Oh, God, yes.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29The detail is absolutely beautiful. All the Satsumas, to be honest,
0:30:29 > 0:30:34when you think of the time that was spent to paint,
0:30:34 > 0:30:36sometimes with one camel hair...
0:30:36 > 0:30:41If you wanted to recreate the painting that they've done now,
0:30:41 > 0:30:44it takes probably months and months to do such a scene.
0:30:44 > 0:30:48Now, when we say Satsuma, that's a particular region in Japan.
0:30:48 > 0:30:51Yes. Is it like saying it's made in Manchester?
0:30:51 > 0:30:54Is that the sort of... Yes. It's the area.
0:30:54 > 0:30:57Well, obviously it's something I would love to keep myself. Yes.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00But it cost me 300 euros. I want to make a little bit of profit.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03I like to be honest. How much do you...
0:31:03 > 0:31:05If I asked you ?400, is that too much?
0:31:05 > 0:31:09I think it's very nice. Er... What about 350?
0:31:09 > 0:31:12I think it's a great setting, and it's lovely to see you again.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's a good profit. That's lovely. Thank you very much.
0:31:16 > 0:31:22Paul's hard work pays off and he makes a juicy profit of ?77.27.
0:31:23 > 0:31:27There we are. I'm delighted I managed to find such a great home
0:31:27 > 0:31:30for that Satsuma vase. I feel like I've learned a lot more about it,
0:31:30 > 0:31:33and I've got a good bit of profit there as well.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35So, bon appetit, Jonty!
0:31:35 > 0:31:38I think that means "game on", doesn't it?
0:31:38 > 0:31:39No?
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Yes, Paul's French might not be up to much,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45but he certainly speaks the language of profit.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47Could his rival be feeling the pressure?
0:31:47 > 0:31:50Jonty sold his photo frame to an interior-design shop
0:31:50 > 0:31:54and only managed a small profit of ?5.45.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59But, back in Henley-on-Thames, he's found Justine,
0:31:59 > 0:32:01a specialist in French antiques.
0:32:01 > 0:32:05He's hoping to sell her his large wooden mirror.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08So, it's late 19th century. OK. The mirror plate is correct.
0:32:08 > 0:32:12Right. It's not a replacement. OK.
0:32:12 > 0:32:14What do you think of my lovely mirror?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17SHE LAUGHS I think it's a good size.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Dark furniture's coming back in slightly,
0:32:19 > 0:32:22but not dark-framed mirrors at the moment,
0:32:22 > 0:32:26so in order to sell it on, I would need to lighten the frame up.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28So I've come to the right place? You have.
0:32:28 > 0:32:33Price? Oh! Well, what were you thinking?
0:32:33 > 0:32:36300 quid. No. No. Not even close.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38Not even close?! No, no.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I was actually thinking 195, somewhere around there.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44HE SNORTS Can't do that, I'm afraid.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48275, then. I wouldn't go above 250.
0:32:48 > 0:32:50I really wouldn't. I've got to sell it on.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54What about 260? Come on! I'll split the difference.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57255? That's it.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59255. You're on.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Cor, you had your work cut out there, Jonty!
0:33:02 > 0:33:05You wouldn't want to haggle Justine in a dark alley.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10But he stuck to his guns, and takes home a hard-won ?118.64 profit.
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Paul's not letting his rival take the mick, though,
0:33:14 > 0:33:17and sells his 1935 comic to a collector
0:33:17 > 0:33:19for a profit of ?11.82.
0:33:19 > 0:33:24And on a selling roll, Paul heads to see local stonemason Susan,
0:33:24 > 0:33:27hoping he can carve out an even bigger profit
0:33:27 > 0:33:31on the statue that set him back ?118.18.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33You've already seen this. Yes. It's lovely.
0:33:33 > 0:33:36It's fair to say you've fallen in love with it? It's beautiful.
0:33:36 > 0:33:41It's been really nicely carved. Do we know what this is made from?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44I think it's alabaster. I know it's the 19th century,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47and the gentleman I bought it off - I bought it in France -
0:33:47 > 0:33:50and he thought it could be Italian, even though it's French.
0:33:50 > 0:33:52Would that fit in with the style?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56I think it does shout Italian, yes, to me. Really?
0:33:56 > 0:33:59It does. It's just the style. Part of the enjoyment with me
0:33:59 > 0:34:03is to find somebody who really likes something, and you love this.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Is that the sort of thing you would like to have for your collection?
0:34:07 > 0:34:09Yeah, I would. Beautiful.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13If I was to ask you ?170, does that sound all right to you?
0:34:13 > 0:34:18Oh, a bit high for me, I think, yeah, to begin with.
0:34:18 > 0:34:20Where do you want to be?
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Mmm... 130, maybe.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27130. You couldn't do 150? 150, yeah.
0:34:27 > 0:34:29Would that be all right to you? That'd be great.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Part of the enjoyment is bringing something home,
0:34:32 > 0:34:34so we'll shake on that. Thanks very much.
0:34:34 > 0:34:38That's a rock-solid ?31.82 for Paul.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42So at the halfway stage, let's take a quick intermission
0:34:42 > 0:34:44and look at the totals to see who's stealing the show
0:34:44 > 0:34:47and who's ready to bow out.
0:34:47 > 0:34:53Paul's sold four items and made ?137.27 profit.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56Jonty has also done four deals,
0:34:56 > 0:35:00and he's landed ?454.54 profit.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Paul's left himself a real mountain to climb
0:35:04 > 0:35:06in this Everest of selling battles,
0:35:06 > 0:35:09but there could be a twist in this tale yet,
0:35:09 > 0:35:12as both our dealers still have everything to play for.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14Our man from Morecambe's chance to turn it around
0:35:14 > 0:35:17must wait a moment, though, as next up it's Jonty.
0:35:17 > 0:35:21He's staying in Oxfordshire and is going to see Julie,
0:35:21 > 0:35:23who runs a vintage shop. He's not got one but two items
0:35:23 > 0:35:27that he thinks could be right up her street -
0:35:27 > 0:35:29his table lamp that he bought for just over ?13,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33and his table, which set him back nearly ?55.
0:35:33 > 0:35:35What are your first impressions? Really nice. You like?
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Yeah, very much. Very my style. I like the colours.
0:35:38 > 0:35:40Very saleable. Very in fashion at the moment.
0:35:40 > 0:35:44This is very you. I've given you ballpark figures of my pricing.
0:35:44 > 0:35:48Yeah. 225 for my table and 50 quid for the lamp.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Right. I've just had the lamp PAT tested, as well,
0:35:51 > 0:35:54so it's ready to be sold. I need this to start with a one.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58With a one? Yeah. 225 is too close to what I'd like to be selling it for.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00OK. Well, where are we?
0:36:00 > 0:36:02150? 150.
0:36:02 > 0:36:08You're being cheeky now, aren't you? What about 195? 175.
0:36:08 > 0:36:12You're on. You can have that table at 175. Great.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16And the lamp? No haggling, please. I think that's a fair price. Good.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Brilliant. So, 175 for my table. Yep.
0:36:19 > 0:36:22?50 for the lamp. Do we have a deal? We do.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Brilliant. Great. Thank you.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Tremendous haggling from the Hitman.
0:36:26 > 0:36:30So, the table gives Jonty a profit of ?120.45,
0:36:30 > 0:36:33and with the safety-testing costs,
0:36:33 > 0:36:37the lamp has raised a profit of ?32.86.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Heady with success and hoping for a hat trick,
0:36:40 > 0:36:42Jonty decides to show Julie his mirror,
0:36:42 > 0:36:45which set him back ?45.45.
0:36:45 > 0:36:48I'm looking for ?100 for my lovely mirror.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51I think that's a bit optimistic. How about 65?
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Whoa! A bit more, then it's yours. Just a bit more. 75.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57You're on. Brilliant. Thank you so much. Great. Thank you.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Yes, you want to give Julie a loyalty card, Jonty!
0:37:00 > 0:37:04That sale gives him a ?29.55 profit.
0:37:04 > 0:37:07I've just made a fantastic profit.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Julie's going to make a great profit.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Do you know what? Money does make the world go round.
0:37:12 > 0:37:16Yes - that and the gravitational pull of the sun.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Hmm! Next up, it's Paul's turn to make the world spin
0:37:19 > 0:37:23as he sells his silver menu holders to an antiques exporter
0:37:23 > 0:37:28for ?100, which gives him a small profit of ?9.09.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31Every penny counts in this game, though, and Paul's not stopping,
0:37:31 > 0:37:35as he heads to the movies in Clapham, South London,
0:37:35 > 0:37:37to sell his Charlie Chaplin poster.
0:37:37 > 0:37:41And he's acting every inch the vintage-movie star. Mmm!
0:37:54 > 0:37:57Paul paid ?3.64 for this piece of memorabilia,
0:37:57 > 0:38:01and he's hoping Michael, the deputy manager of this picture house,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04will be a big fan of the poster.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06You can't mention black-and-white movies
0:38:06 > 0:38:08without mentioning one gentleman in particular.
0:38:08 > 0:38:12You've already seen an image of this. Charlie Chaplin! Oh, wow!
0:38:12 > 0:38:16Isn't that fantastic? Doesn't that sum up the whole art of cinema?
0:38:16 > 0:38:20The Tramp, as he called himself. I follow in his footsteps slightly.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24Is that the sort of thing I could interest you in? Totally.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28That would get an honourable corner somewhere.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32So... Well, if I was to ask you ?30, how does that sound?
0:38:32 > 0:38:3530 quid? It's definitely worth it. Shall we shake on that?
0:38:35 > 0:38:39Yes. I'll take it for ?30. OK. I'll fold it up nicely,
0:38:39 > 0:38:43cos I know the lights are going to come down any second now,
0:38:43 > 0:38:46and I got my popcorn, and we'll shake on that and watch the movie.
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Oh, bravo! What a star turn, Paul!
0:38:51 > 0:38:57That sale gives him a profit of ?26.36.
0:38:57 > 0:39:01And now, ladies and gentlemen, for the first time on the silver screen,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04in his greatest role yet,
0:39:04 > 0:39:09the negotiator is Mr Paul Hayes!
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, that's your BAFTA in the bag, Paul.
0:39:18 > 0:39:22Not to be outdone, Jonty is also putting on a stellar performance,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26and has sold his chest of drawers for a profit of ?63.64
0:39:26 > 0:39:29to a specialist in French furniture.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31And in London, Willy Wonka would be proud,
0:39:31 > 0:39:34as Jonty's found a museum of chocolate. Yes!
0:39:34 > 0:39:37And he's hoping it'll be the perfect home for his mould,
0:39:37 > 0:39:40which set him back just over ?18.
0:39:40 > 0:39:43Will chocolatier Isabel offer him a sweet deal?
0:39:43 > 0:39:46Now, I've brought you my lovely chocolate mould. OK.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Now, this is French, so it's a tin-lined mould... All right.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52..in the shape of fish, as you can see.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I find it really interesting, because people don't realise it,
0:39:55 > 0:39:59but every bar of chocolate comes from a mould, doesn't it?
0:39:59 > 0:40:03It does, but mostly plastic now, which are much more convenient...
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Absolutely. ..because they're shiny. They mould very easily,
0:40:06 > 0:40:09so you want that type of surface.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I see you've got some other moulds here.
0:40:12 > 0:40:16Yes, but these are collectables, and that's still the way we are making chocolate.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19This is great. This is shaped as a mask.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22Looks like... It's as sinister as Paul Hayes, don't you think?
0:40:22 > 0:40:25SHE LAUGHS I'm looking for ?60 for my mould.
0:40:25 > 0:40:29What about, er...50?
0:40:29 > 0:40:31Could we just do a little bit more? 55?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Yes. I would agree for 55. Yes. I would agree. Yes.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37Brilliant. Thank you so much. Thank you too.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41That gives Jonty a delectable profit of ?36.82,
0:40:41 > 0:40:44and a taste of success.
0:40:46 > 0:40:48So, that's the final curtain on the selling,
0:40:48 > 0:40:51but before we find out who is today's winner,
0:40:51 > 0:40:54let's recap on what our experts have spent.
0:40:54 > 0:40:59Paul and Jonty both started out with ?750 of their own money.
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Paul made six deals, and spent a total of ?567.28.
0:41:04 > 0:41:07Jonty picked up nine purchases,
