0:00:47 > 0:00:50The fabulous furniture fancier, Jonty Hearnden,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54takes on the awesome auctioneering ace, Christina Trevanion.
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Woof, woof!
0:00:55 > 0:01:00Coming up, Christina starts making outrageous demands.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03What can I throw in that can help you out?
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Anything worth thousands of pounds would be very welcome.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Jonty discovers an added benefit to hunting antiques.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12Good way of keeping fit, this.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Getting up and down, up and down the aisles.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18But creaming a profit is always tricky.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19- 12?- 12?
0:01:19 > 0:01:22That's not very close to 30, is it?
0:01:22 > 0:01:24This is Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42Welcome one, welcome all, to the Malvern Flea & Collectors Fair.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45But there's no flies on our two mighty challengers today.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48These battle hardened heroes of the haggle come well armed
0:01:48 > 0:01:50with a hive of antiques knowledge.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53But in this fight for supremacy,
0:01:53 > 0:01:56will the Queen Bee win the royal jelly
0:01:56 > 0:02:00or will the King of Collectables enjoy the sweet taste of success?
0:02:00 > 0:02:03First up flying the flag, a man whose reputation
0:02:03 > 0:02:05and know-how precede him.
0:02:05 > 0:02:10A brain packed with precision detail about every kind of artefact.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13He's everyone's antiques poster boy...
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I'm still looking for those genuine bargains.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23And facing up to him, an opponent with a mighty mind for a market.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25She might look like an angel, but underneath
0:02:25 > 0:02:27beats the heart of a dealing devil.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29No-one messes with...
0:02:32 > 0:02:35I just love it. We're completely spoiled for choice.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Christina and Jonty have come to cast their eyes around
0:02:38 > 0:02:42the antiques fair at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern.
0:02:42 > 0:02:46They've got £750 of their own money to spend,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49then with their pieces purchased, they must set about selling the lot
0:02:49 > 0:02:52with all the profits going to the charities of their choice.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Let the trumpet sound for the start of battle.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59Jonty Hearnden and Christina Trevanion,
0:02:59 > 0:03:02it's time to put your money where your mouth is.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Good morning.- How you doing?- Very well. How are you?- I'm very well.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10- What do you think about this market? - It's amazing, isn't it?
0:03:10 > 0:03:13- There's hundreds of people here. - Have you been to Malvern before?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- I have to confess, I have. - It's my first time.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20As I understand it, it might be a little bit of rain clouds later on.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23I'm hoping the showers might hold off today but I've come prepared.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26I see, I see. I'm going to go on the outside first of all.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- Oh, no, that was my plan. - Really?- Yes.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33- We've got £750 to spend.- Yes. £750. Bulging wallets.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36Just want to go rummage around in the back of the vans. Let's go.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38One, two, three. Go!
0:03:38 > 0:03:41And so they're off,
0:03:41 > 0:03:44bursting to get buying before the weather rains on their parade.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48Could Christina's experience of the market put her at an advantage?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51She's certainly keen as mustard and she hits the ground running.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Jonty is, as ever, Mr Cool.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Relaxed, suave, the James Bond of antiques.
0:03:59 > 0:04:03He may be in unknown territory but he is certainly not stirred.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08As I mentioned to Christina a little bit earlier, it might rain,
0:04:08 > 0:04:10we're in Britain after all.
0:04:10 > 0:04:13This is a market I've never been to before
0:04:13 > 0:04:15so I really need to get my bearings.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17I'm going to do all the outside bits first
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and if it starts to rain I'm heading off in there.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Indoors.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25So, Jonty stakes his claim to the outside territory.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29But that's exactly where Christina has started her hunt too.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32If she's going to beat her opponent to the best bargains,
0:04:32 > 0:04:34she's going to need one corker of a game plan.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40I love antiques fairs, you can find the real quirky and individual
0:04:40 > 0:04:43and that's my tactic today, to go for bit weird, bit wonderful.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46I've got £750 burning a hole in my pocket,
0:04:46 > 0:04:48let's make hay while that sun shines.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53So, it looks like the weather will be dictating the battle plans
0:04:53 > 0:04:54of our experts today.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57But we'll see whether it will be lightning purchases
0:04:57 > 0:05:00or a case of basking in the sun.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04And Jonty is the first to dig in for this uphill climb.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08He's spotted a blue stepladder marked up at £55.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I quite like these steps here. Tell me about these.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14They're an old decorators set. Picked up about a month ago.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17We've just put a little bit of lilac colour on it.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- So you've done a bit of painting? - Yes.- What's your best?
0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Right now, £35.- 35 quid. 30 quid, and I'll buy it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27- Thank you very much indeed.- Perfect. Thank you very much indeed, sir.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Oh, look at that. No hesitation. Jonty steps up, one deal in the bag.
0:05:32 > 0:05:37So, these stepladders, they are so cheap. I'm so pleased. £30.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Date-wise, they have to be 80-90 years of age.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42The paint effect is really good quality.
0:05:42 > 0:05:46I am destined to make a huge margin.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50The Hitman may have a leg up but the lady known as The Magpie
0:05:50 > 0:05:52is on the hunt for her first purchase too.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56The first thing that catches her eye is a post-war drinks cooler.
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I really like this. It's just a bit of...
0:06:00 > 0:06:04We've got advertising-ware here but it's also a cool box. Just quite fun.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Advertising-ware is doing quite well at the moment.
0:06:07 > 0:06:11- What's your price on that one? - £180.- £180? Really?
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- I was thinking more like £30 or £40. - No.- £180, really?
0:06:16 > 0:06:18What can I throw in that can help you out?
0:06:18 > 0:06:21Anything worth thousands of pounds would be very welcome.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25- What are those? - These are Indian exercise clubs.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29- I'll throw them in.- 110. - It's too low.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34- It's too low.- What's your absolute lowest?- 130.- No!
0:06:34 > 0:06:36These clubs could come in very useful.
0:06:38 > 0:06:42- Go on, I'll meet you in the middle, 120.- Yeah, go on, then.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46- 120 and the clubs?- Go on, then.- Yay.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Oh, she's done it.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Christina's sparkling personality bags her her first buy.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Watch out, Jonty, the lady has entered the game.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58So, I've just bought my first purchase of the day which I'm
0:06:58 > 0:07:01really pleased with. To be honest, I did pay on the high side for it.
0:07:01 > 0:07:03£120 is quite a lot of money.
0:07:03 > 0:07:07But on the plus side, it's still in really, really good condition
0:07:07 > 0:07:09and I think it has been repainted at some point
0:07:09 > 0:07:12but it has still got some original paintwork there as well.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13I think, date-wise,
0:07:13 > 0:07:17we're talking about mid-20th century by the style of the branding on here.
0:07:17 > 0:07:19Vintage and retro is really, really cool at the moment
0:07:19 > 0:07:24so I'm hoping I can find somebody who will love it just as much as I do.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25Otherwise, I'm in trouble.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28I also... Bless him, Craig threw in these exercise clubs
0:07:28 > 0:07:31which I'm not entirely sure what I'll do with.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I think the idea is you wake up in the morning
0:07:34 > 0:07:37and you do your exercises and you get limbered up for the day ahead.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39And then you're set for the day.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Let's hope they inspire me onto my next purchase.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46And that exercise regime could come in handy.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50There's a long way to go and only the fittest will survive.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52Isn't that right, doggy?
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Jonty's looking like he's in peak condition.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Good way of keeping fit, this.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Getting up and down, up and down the aisles.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Yes, it's more of a saunter, really, isn't it?
0:08:02 > 0:08:03But Jonty is on the hunt.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06As Christina continues her trawl of the stalls,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Mr Speedy stumbles on another potential purchase.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11A tie pin in the shape of a horse.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Can I just have a look at this pin here, the stick pin here?
0:08:16 > 0:08:17I quite like that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It looks like it's got some sort of hallmark on the back there
0:08:20 > 0:08:22but it looks like it's faded somewhat.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27I'm just going to check to see whether it's got a hallmark there.
0:08:27 > 0:08:31- No, that isn't a hallmark.- No.- Yeah. But it does look silver to me.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Oh, it's silver, although we can't say it's silver.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37At the moment, the price tag is £30.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40If I can find somebody who likes their horses, we could be on.
0:08:40 > 0:08:45I'm interested, but it'll have to be a lot less than 30 quid.
0:08:45 > 0:08:49- What about 15?- 18. - 18?- And that's it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- I'll take it.- Thank you.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55So, Jonty's horse tie pin takes him back out in front.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58A small item but he's galloping now.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Before the Second World War, tie pins were very fashionable.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05The reason why I have chosen this one particularly
0:09:05 > 0:09:08is because it has a horse theme.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11I believe that it probably is 1930s.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14I know a lot of people that love their horses and at £18,
0:09:14 > 0:09:17even though it's not hallmarked,
0:09:17 > 0:09:20I know that I should be able to make a profit.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Well, let's hope Jonty doesn't have a nightmare making a buck
0:09:24 > 0:09:28with his horsey tie pin. This battle is now in full swing.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But in the sky, ominous clouds are gathering,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34so both our experts need to pick up the pace.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Now, Christina said she wanted quirky
0:09:37 > 0:09:39and she certainly seems to have found it.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43She's made her second purchase, a cow-shaped wooden sign.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45But can she milk a profit?
0:09:45 > 0:09:49It's a mid-20th century advertising sign. I really rather like it.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52It's quite rustic, it's quite rural, a little bit like me, really.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55It's a little bit worn around the edges.
0:09:55 > 0:09:59I only paid £10 for it. Can't lose on that, surely?
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Well, let's hope not.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04On the "udder" side of the fair, Jonty has a new game plan.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05He's thinking big.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09There's lots of stalls but I'm looking for that really chunky piece.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12The item that's going to return me huge profits.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16But I haven't found it yet. The Hitman has to march on.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Indeed you do, sir. An interesting change of tack.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Has Christina got him running scared?
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Her quirky quest continues apace.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27She's found some old school entertainment.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- Can you tell me what this is? - I think, like, a hoopla game.- So you'd swing your hooplas on there...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34You'd swing your quoits over there and it would tilt.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36What's your price on that?
0:10:36 > 0:10:38That can be 60. It comes with a box down there as well.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40- It's missing one little... - The stick down there.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's missing some rope hoops.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47- Is there any flexibility there at all?- A fiver.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Done. 55, thank you.
0:10:50 > 0:10:53It's another buy but Christina only get's a fiver off.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Let's hope she's pleased with her purchase.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00It's just a bit of fun, isn't it? Yes, it's damaged, it's got a bit of wear to it,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03but it shows it's been used, it shows it's been loved.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Hugo reliably informs me he bought it straight from a showman,
0:11:06 > 0:11:10so it is original, it is unique. I'm really pleased with it.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I paid £55 for it, which is a little bit more than I wanted to pay,
0:11:13 > 0:11:18and, as a bonus, it comes with a little box as well, a storage case.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- What could be better?- A bigger discount would've been nice.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23But she's always positive.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27The ship's game leaves Christina cock-a-hoop.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30So, we're halfway through this bargain buying bonanza.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Let's catch up with how our marketing maestros are doing.
0:11:34 > 0:11:39Our experts arrived in Malvern with £750 each in their pockets.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44So far, Jonty The Hitman hasn't spent much, just £48 on two items.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47He still has £702 to play with.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Christine The Magpie has flown ahead slightly.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57Three deals done for £185, leaving £565 in her kitty.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03With everything to play for, our buying battle is hotting up.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07And old habits clearly die hard as Mr Furniture homes in on a chair.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09What a surprise.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Jonty, you trying to find somewhere for a bit of a snooze?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16- No. Looking at chairs, looking at chairs.- Step away from the chair.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20- Step away. How's it going? - Yeah, good. There's loads to go at.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Some really interesting things.
0:12:22 > 0:12:26Well, I bought a little sort of fairground game I saw.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29It was a big boat which I probably paid too much for. I paid £55 for it.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33I let my heart rule my head and it's always a disaster, isn't it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35- Always a complete disaster, but I really liked it.- No, that's good.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39- So there are nice, quirky things here for both of us to buy.- Exactly.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43- We're going for quirk.- Onwards and upwards.- Onwards and upwards. Best of luck.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46Mm, The Hitman playing his cards close to his chest. Giving nothing away.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Is he questing for quirk or has he sold his rival a red herring?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53Time will tell. But Christina is pressing on.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58The Magpie can't resist a shiny box and she pays £38 for it.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02I've just bought this little box here.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Yes, I know it's a stamp box and we don't really use stamp boxes any more
0:13:06 > 0:13:09but I still think it could be a really nice, possibly, jewellery box.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12Maybe put earrings or something in there, and some rings in there.
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Potentially, quite a saleable item.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I love the fact it's got this beautiful cherry blossom
0:13:17 > 0:13:18on the top here.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21It's early 20th century, and in the early 20th century
0:13:21 > 0:13:23there was a huge interest in the East and in Japonism
0:13:23 > 0:13:25and I think this is reflected in here.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28It's got a nice stamp here which I'll go home and look up.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32Really beautiful item, great craftsmanship and all for £38.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Can't be bad, can it?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Christina is going great guns.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Yes, she thought she'd be reduced to rummaging around in the back of vans
0:13:40 > 0:13:44but, as it stands, she's done twice as many deals as The Hitman.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47Jonty could be in big trouble if he's not careful.
0:13:47 > 0:13:51Christina heads inside, and it's not long before she spots another
0:13:51 > 0:13:57potential purchase. A dog-shaped whistle carved out of a horn.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00That's quite fun, isn't it? We are a nation of dog lovers. I like that.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03And it works, which is always a good sign.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07- What's your best on that? Very, very best.- 50 quid.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09£30 cash. £30.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12- That's robbing me.- Cash. No!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14£40.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17It's a nice thing, but I only see it as 30. Honestly.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19- £30 cash. Go on!- Go on, then.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21Brilliant. You're a legend. Thank you.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24I've just bought this beautiful little whistle here
0:14:24 > 0:14:26in the shape of a dog.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Carved in horn and then you've got these little ivory inset eyes here.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Because this is an 1880s/1890s example,
0:14:32 > 0:14:34it's absolutely fine to sell the ivory.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Pre-1947, absolutely fine.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39I think it's for obedience training.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42Talking of which, where's Jonty? WHISTLE
0:14:45 > 0:14:47WHISTLE Jonty?
0:14:49 > 0:14:51WHISTLE Jonty?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Yes, you're not going to have much luck, Christina,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Jonty's outside reinvigorating himself in the bracing Malvern air.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Wait a minute. There's money to be made in these hills.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- I need to be doing some more buying. - Yes, you're not kidding, Jonty.
0:15:07 > 0:15:11After a few deep breaths, The Hitman is soon back on the hunt
0:15:11 > 0:15:13and he's feeling much more balanced.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16He spots some scales marked up at £75.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19This is quite intriguing.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24It's a set of weighing scales for all sorts of purposes,
0:15:24 > 0:15:26often industrial.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30I'm interested in it but it has to be a really good price.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32I can't do anything on £75.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37£55. I can only knock £20 off.
0:15:37 > 0:15:39I was thinking more like 30.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- No, no, I honestly can't. - 45 and I'll have it.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44Thank you very much.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47Now, they look as if they are in pretty good condition.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51I need to have a good old tamper on the inside when I get home
0:15:51 > 0:15:53just to see whether I can get it working or not.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56I also need to do some investigation about the makers.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Got a London makers, Baird & Tatlock.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03From the design of the casing, I would suspect this instrument here
0:16:03 > 0:16:06was made probably before the Second World War.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11So, between the wars, and there's a good clue as to why I know this.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14You take the drawer out at the bottom. Here we are.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17If this had been any earlier, we would have had dovetailings
0:16:17 > 0:16:21on the inside of the drawer here. Instead, we have two pins.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25So the construction of the drawer means it's 20th century,
0:16:25 > 0:16:27not 19th century.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31But that's all fine because this is a beautiful instrument.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33And the scales steer Jonty back on track.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38He's firing on all cylinders now and The Magpie's lead is under threat.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41And he soon screeches up next to a motoring sign.
0:16:41 > 0:16:46What seems to sell very well when it comes to enamel signs like this
0:16:46 > 0:16:48is garage signs.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52But I particularly like this AA sign here.
0:16:52 > 0:16:57So this is... Again, you can see on the reverse,
0:16:57 > 0:16:58it's very much antique.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03And it's had a bit of restoration, actually.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07If you can have a look here, just on the inside there,
0:17:07 > 0:17:08it's been restored.
0:17:08 > 0:17:13Now, it's £150, and I've just been told the stallholder
0:17:13 > 0:17:15will take 110 for it.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18I think I'm going to have a punt on that as well.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Excuse me.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22- I'll give that a run. - OK, brilliant.- OK.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25And if I break down on the way home,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28I'll just stick that on the outside of my car.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32He drives down the price of the sign to £110.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35Jonty and Christina are now cruising along nicely
0:17:35 > 0:17:38and, unbelievably, they're pretty much neck and neck,
0:17:38 > 0:17:40but maybe not for long.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43The Magpie comes to a stop next to a large range
0:17:43 > 0:17:46of Art Deco catalogue illustrations.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50- They were all done for Fraser & Sons in Glasgow.- Right.
0:17:50 > 0:17:56And by the illustrator, GA Campbell, who was their chief illustrator.
0:17:56 > 0:17:57- Right.- And he...
0:17:57 > 0:18:02So, they would be that season's fashion plates, for example?
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Yep. Because that one's got its...
0:18:05 > 0:18:08- That's amazing.- That would have been in its catalogue.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10That would have been in the catalogue and you would flick
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- through and go, "I'll have one of those in a size so-and-so."- Exactly.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17That's amazing. I mean, that's a really luxurious thing.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19So, these are the original plates for it?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22These are the original illustrations from the time.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26I really love these. They are so of their time, aren't they?
0:18:26 > 0:18:28I mean, you get Art Deco and you get Art Deco.
0:18:28 > 0:18:311920s - phenomenal.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37- How much is this? - To you, 190.- That's a lot of money!
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- I know it's a lot of money, but I know I can sell it.- I know...
0:18:40 > 0:18:45Could you take a bit more off, just to make me a happy lady? 150? 150?
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- 190.- 180. Please, go on, 180.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51Split the difference, 185.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Oh, go on, then. Why not? Why not?
0:18:54 > 0:18:57Another hard haggle for Christina, just a fiver off.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00Is her characteristic enthusiasm her downfall?
0:19:00 > 0:19:03That gent knew she loved that picture and she paid for it.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07This was a heck of a risk for me, it really was.
0:19:07 > 0:19:11It was £185 and it took me for ever to decide which one to go for,
0:19:11 > 0:19:12but I'm really pleased that I did.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14They just scream Art Deco -
0:19:14 > 0:19:17these wonderful illustrations for 1920s fashion plates.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20And not just the fact that they are illustrations,
0:19:20 > 0:19:22this is a genuine original.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25This is pen and ink on paper and then hand washed.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28Unfortunately, it's not signed, which would have been a lot better,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31obviously, but Richard's done all the legwork for me
0:19:31 > 0:19:34and I got the piece of paper and the information to go with it,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37so that will certainly help sell to any potential buyer.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39Well, let's hope the risk was worth it.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Christina marks her biggest purchase of the day
0:19:41 > 0:19:44by deciding to call a stop to her shop.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47But Jonty drives on with another motoring purchase,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51a 1930s petrol can for £8.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54And he's not done yet.
0:19:54 > 0:19:56Indoors, he buys a 1920s photograph
0:19:56 > 0:20:00of Cambridge University's athletics club.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03Now, instead of buying pictures, a lot of people are interested -
0:20:03 > 0:20:05a lot of businesses, a lot of clubs -
0:20:05 > 0:20:07are interested in pictures just like this.
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Instantly, hanging something like this on a wall
0:20:11 > 0:20:15gives a completely different atmosphere to the interior.
0:20:15 > 0:20:22And for £10, wow, that is probably one of my best bargains of the day.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25This man is brimming with confidence.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28Will Christina regret calling it a day so soon?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Jonty said he wanted a big, meaty item
0:20:30 > 0:20:33and after further foraging, he may have found it.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36Could this be the perfect piece to take him over the line?
0:20:38 > 0:20:41- 210 quid - I'm going to buy it from you.- Deal.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44That's really lovely, thank you very much indeed.
0:20:44 > 0:20:46This is a fantastic humidor.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50Now, humidor is a smart word, really, for a cigar box.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52This was made by a German maker, WMF,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55who produced beautiful pewter wares
0:20:55 > 0:21:01and they were very, very renowned in the early part of the 20th century
0:21:01 > 0:21:04and the latter half of the 19th century.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07So, it has a date on the reverse here and it's 1910.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12It has an Art Nouveau feel, but a modern feel, modern design as well.
0:21:12 > 0:21:14But with the horse's head, wow,
0:21:14 > 0:21:18and I think I've saved my best till last.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Yes, that's one happy Hitman.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21It was a lot of money,
0:21:21 > 0:21:24but he clearly thinks the humidor will smoke out success.
0:21:24 > 0:21:25And that final push
0:21:25 > 0:21:28brings the shutters down on this buying bonanza.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31Let's take a look at what they spent.
0:21:33 > 0:21:38Remember, both dealers began with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:21:38 > 0:21:42Jonty started slow but ended up with seven items.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46All up, he spent £431.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Christina had a more steady day.
0:21:48 > 0:21:50Six deals all done and she spent
0:21:50 > 0:21:56almost exactly the same as her rival - £438.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02So, with figures so close, it'll all come down to their selling ability
0:22:02 > 0:22:05and whether or not they've bought well.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08I've been looking for you everywhere. It looks like you've had a busy day.
0:22:08 > 0:22:11- I have had a busy day, a challenging day.- Challenging?
0:22:11 > 0:22:14I found it actually quite difficult to spend my money, actually. What about you?
0:22:14 > 0:22:17Well, yeah, I think towards the end of the day, definitely,
0:22:17 > 0:22:20it was a bit, "What am I going to buy? What am I going to buy?"
0:22:20 > 0:22:22But, no, I think it was good fun.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25I struggled absolutely to spend my money, but I did finally,
0:22:25 > 0:22:30eventually, spend my money on my lovely box, my cigar humidor.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- 1909, it is.- That early? That's lovely.- It's really nice.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Really nice. Love that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37That's my favourite piece of what you've bought today.
0:22:37 > 0:22:40Now, you bought a shipwreck. What's all that about?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- It's a game.- Ah! Silly me!- No, it's a fairground game. I really like it.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45So, what's with the ladders?
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Well, I'm going to go home and do a bit of decorating.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51- Looks like you've had a good day. - Yes.- Well done you.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54- Time to do some selling? - I'm a bit anxious, now.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58- What? Anxious?- Yeah. - Are you anxious? I'm anxious.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05It's time for our dealers to do a Put Your Money pirouette,
0:23:05 > 0:23:07spinning from shopping to selling.
0:23:07 > 0:23:10This is where the challenge gets truly tricky.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Not only must they delve deep into their contacts books
0:23:13 > 0:23:14to find the best buyers,
0:23:14 > 0:23:18but every last item needs to be sold for maximum money.
0:23:18 > 0:23:19After that, it's simple -
0:23:19 > 0:23:23whoever makes the most profit will emerge victorious.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Jonty and Christina head home to take stock of their booty,
0:23:26 > 0:23:30and back in Oxfordshire, The Hitman is happy with his haul.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33So, here's my stash from the antiques fair from Malvern.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36I've got such an array of different things.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40One of my great purchases was my vintage garage sign here -
0:23:40 > 0:23:42absolutely wonderful, 1930s.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45This is great fun and I'm sure that I'm going to find a buyer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47And on the back end of that, of course,
0:23:47 > 0:23:50I ended up buying my oil can as well.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52So, if I can sell the two, perfect.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57Now, look at this lovely old picture from the 1920s, all those athletes.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00Who am I going to sell it to? Really not quite sure.
0:24:00 > 0:24:03I've got my weighing scales, which are great fun.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05The box down at the front here, my cigar box,
0:24:05 > 0:24:07now, that is absolutely wonderful.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09It really is in very good condition.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13Having said that, there are just a few scratches on the front and
0:24:13 > 0:24:17I'm not sure whether that's going to impede upon its saleability.
0:24:17 > 0:24:18I've got my tie pin down at the front.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Well, it IS silver, but it's not hallmarked.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22But it was the right price.
0:24:22 > 0:24:27The stepladders - my first purchase of the day, 30 quid,
0:24:27 > 0:24:28absolute bargain.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Christina had her welly boots on all day expecting it to rain,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and it never did, but it rained down bargains for me.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37I am very pleased with what I've got.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Well, Jonty's sounding confident as he hits the phone
0:24:40 > 0:24:42and starts setting up the sales.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Christina's back in her home county of Shropshire with her dog,
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Welly, and she's got high hopes for her hoard.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52I think I bought some quite funky things.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55The beautiful Art Deco fashion illustration there.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56I absolutely love it.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59I probably paid a little bit too much for it
0:24:59 > 0:25:02but I think it's beautiful, and hopefully I can find somebody
0:25:02 > 0:25:03that will appreciate it as much as I do.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06The old vintage drinks cooler over here,
0:25:06 > 0:25:09these are very back in vogue at the moment,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11so I think we'll be able to find a good retro home for that to go to
0:25:11 > 0:25:14and we'll throw in the batons in that one as well.
0:25:14 > 0:25:15I've got this rather gorgeous cow.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'm from the land of milk and honey, up here in Shropshire,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20and I'm sure we'll be able to find
0:25:20 > 0:25:23a good local Cheshire dairy farmer to sell this to.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27This wonderful fairground game, so I'm hoping to find a home for that
0:25:27 > 0:25:29where somebody will love it and use it.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32I've also got this gorgeous little dog whistle down here.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35We're a nation of dog lovers, so I'm hoping we'll find a home for that.
0:25:35 > 0:25:39And this rather sweet little stamp collector's box here,
0:25:39 > 0:25:42with the silver inlay, I think is absolutely beautiful.
0:25:42 > 0:25:46A fairly quirky little mix. I'm very pleased with what I've bought.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Some really nice, strong things. Let the fun and games begin!
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Mmm, the game is on!
0:25:51 > 0:25:53Having assessed their acquisitions,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56the Duke and Duchess of Dealing must promote their purchases,
0:25:56 > 0:26:00persuade their punters and pick up plenty of profit.
0:26:00 > 0:26:03And since they both spent almost exactly the same in Malvern,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06it's all down to who bought most wisely.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11And it's Christina who's first onto the breach.
0:26:11 > 0:26:12Just a few miles from home,
0:26:12 > 0:26:16she meets Jill and Caroline from a local dog society.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18She's hoping they might like her whistle,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21because they use them all the time in training retrievers
0:26:21 > 0:26:22like the lovely Tarn.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25WHISTLE BLOWS
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Will Jill give Christina a profit for her carved whistle?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32Or, at £30, did our lady blow too much on it?
0:26:33 > 0:26:35I thought that it just bore
0:26:35 > 0:26:37such a striking resemblance to a flat coat retriever.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40As an antiques valuer, I can tell you what it is.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43Obviously, it's a dog shaped whistle made of horn,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45with little ivory inset eyes.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Made probably about 1880, 1890.
0:26:47 > 0:26:50And I think it's a really, really attractive piece.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53So often you find whistles that were made
0:26:53 > 0:26:58directly related to the sport or the pastime they were involved in,
0:26:58 > 0:27:01hence the fact that in this case, we've obviously got a dog.
0:27:01 > 0:27:04So, I think it's beautiful.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Is there any chance I can re-home my dog whistle to you?
0:27:08 > 0:27:09Yes, there is a possibility.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12We, as a society, obviously have an awful lot of flat coats,
0:27:12 > 0:27:14so potentially a lot of people will be interested in it.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18I was hoping to get somewhere in the region of maybe £80 or £90 for it.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21I really don't think we could justify 80.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25I'd be talking about, oh, about 40, really.
0:27:25 > 0:27:29I mean, if I come down to sort of £70, how is that sounding?
0:27:29 > 0:27:31Why don't we talk 50?
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Can we meet in the middle at £60?
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Let's meet in the middle, that's fair.- OK, yeah.- Yes?
0:27:36 > 0:27:38- OK, we'll do 60. - Brilliant, you're a star.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Thank you, Jill, that's amazing.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42Yes, she's dog gone and doubled her money.
0:27:42 > 0:27:47She's off the mark with a tail-wagging profit of £30.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50So, OK, not a huge profit but a profit nonetheless
0:27:50 > 0:27:53and I'm absolutely made up that that little whistle has gone to a home
0:27:53 > 0:27:56where it will be truly cherished once again.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59And if Jonty thinks he's going to beat me, he's barking!
0:28:00 > 0:28:03And Christina's not done with her rural retailing just yet.
0:28:03 > 0:28:08She moves from canine to bovine, with her cow sign that cost £10.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12A few miles outside Whitchurch she meets dairy farmer, Sarah,
0:28:12 > 0:28:14who makes and sells her own cheese.
0:28:14 > 0:28:16What do you think?
0:28:16 > 0:28:18- I think it's absolutely perfect. - Yeah?
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I thought it might be a good advertising piece,
0:28:21 > 0:28:23possibly for the shop?
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I think it's a mid-20th century advertising sign,
0:28:25 > 0:28:28possibly would have been in a dairy, or maybe a butcher's shop,
0:28:28 > 0:28:32something like that. I don't know whether it would have been cheese,
0:28:32 > 0:28:33maybe even cheese originally?
0:28:33 > 0:28:37To be perfectly honest, I was hoping for maybe 30 quid for it.
0:28:37 > 0:28:41- 12?- 12?! That's not very close to 30, is it?
0:28:41 > 0:28:43What about 20 quid?
0:28:43 > 0:28:47- You could twist my arm at 20. - Brilliant. I like that.
0:28:47 > 0:28:49- Thank you very much. - That was quickly shaken on!
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Once again, Christina doubles her money,
0:28:53 > 0:28:56beefing up her profit pot with another £10.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57If she keeps going like this,
0:28:57 > 0:29:00she'll give The Hitman a real run for his money.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03But Jonty is coming out fighting, leading with his prime purchase -
0:29:03 > 0:29:07the horse head humidor he bought for £210.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Now it's time to sell my beautiful cigar box
0:29:10 > 0:29:11and I've come to Beaconsfield
0:29:11 > 0:29:14to show it to Nigel, who's an antiques specialist.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17His main specialism is clocks and furniture,
0:29:17 > 0:29:20but he always needs beautiful decorative objects like this
0:29:20 > 0:29:22to adorn the shop.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25So, I'm hoping he's going to like it enough
0:29:25 > 0:29:28to part with good money for it.
0:29:28 > 0:29:31- Nigel, how are you doing?- Jonty, how are you?- Really good, really good.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33I want to show you this lovely cigar box.
0:29:33 > 0:29:34I've sent you a picture
0:29:34 > 0:29:38and you expressed an interest in having a look at it.
0:29:38 > 0:29:40What's your first impressions?
0:29:40 > 0:29:42My first impression is that it is very nice.
0:29:42 > 0:29:46- The date marks are on the underside, just here.- And have you dated that?
0:29:46 > 0:29:48It's 1903.
0:29:48 > 0:29:52Of course, we're not looking at an object that's silver. It's pewter.
0:29:52 > 0:29:56And I find it interesting that this is not typical WMF.
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Typical WMF is very Art Nouveau.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01Price-wise, I'm looking for £350 for my box.
0:30:01 > 0:30:05- If I could buy it for 300, I would be happy.- 325?
0:30:05 > 0:30:06320, and we've got a deal.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Thank you, sir. Brilliant, excellent.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13Now I need to see the colour of your money.
0:30:13 > 0:30:18In a single blow, Jonty races ahead of Christina with a profit of £110.
0:30:19 > 0:30:22All of a sudden, the lady's got some catching up to do.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23And it doesn't stop there.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25The Hitman hits the road to try
0:30:25 > 0:30:27and sell his pieces of motoring memorabilia -
0:30:27 > 0:30:31the enamel sign and the petrol can cost him a total of £118.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34He's just outside Oxford to meet car fanatic, Dominic.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38Now, Dominic's a classic car enthusiast,
0:30:38 > 0:30:41but he also happens to be my plumber.
0:30:41 > 0:30:42So, as a tradesman,
0:30:42 > 0:30:46that probably means he knows how to strike a hard bargain.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49So, will I be able to turn a profit?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52I think he's going to be a tough negotiator.
0:30:52 > 0:30:54Dominic, how are you?
0:30:54 > 0:30:55- Very well, Jonty. How are you?- Good.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Have you seen a sign like this before?
0:30:57 > 0:30:59I've never seen one of that size,
0:30:59 > 0:31:02but it would look rather nice on the outside of my garage.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04Well, this is why I was hoping you might be interested in it.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07They were very, very popular in the 1920s and 1930s.
0:31:07 > 0:31:10And, of course, now they are very collectable
0:31:10 > 0:31:13because by the 1950s, enamel signs had just disappeared.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17So, date-wise, you're absolutely looking at a sign that's 1920s, 1930s.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Difficult to exactly work out when,
0:31:20 > 0:31:22- because the style didn't really change.- Right.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27Whereas, our little petrol can here, our fuel can,
0:31:27 > 0:31:29has a date on the underside.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31There's a little number there - it's been scratched, actually.
0:31:31 > 0:31:35That's '38. It actually says that is 1938.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Have you ever seen anything like that before?
0:31:37 > 0:31:41I have a similar one for a competitive brand.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43So, are you interested enough
0:31:43 > 0:31:45to want a price on these two beautiful objects?
0:31:45 > 0:31:47I think so.
0:31:47 > 0:31:52Let's say the sign is 270 and I want 30 quid for my oil can.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54175 for the two.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56I'm going to go 240 the sign
0:31:56 > 0:31:59and I'm still sticking at 30 quid for my can.
0:31:59 > 0:32:04- If you say 230, I will take the two off you.- What about 250 for the lot?
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I'll go 240.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09That's fine for me, sir. They're yours.
0:32:09 > 0:32:12I knew you were going to be tough! Now, how about a spin?
0:32:12 > 0:32:14No problem at all. I'll go and find some keys.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17Yes, Jonty nicks Christina's knack of doubling the money -
0:32:17 > 0:32:21he drives off £122 up on the deal.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25I told you he'd drive a hard bargain.
0:32:26 > 0:32:28The Magpie is now playing catch-up,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31so can she win big with her fairground game?
0:32:31 > 0:32:34She delivered it to Iscoyd Park Preschool a couple of days ago
0:32:34 > 0:32:37to let the children give it a test run.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Now she's meeting teacher, Miss Nicci,
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and there's a very expectant audience.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Now, remember, Christina paid £55 for the game.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49- Hello. Hi, Miss Nicci, how are you? - OK, thank you.- Good, excellent.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53- Well, it's all out on display. - I know! We're very excited.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55We've had a lovely time playing with it.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I think it's probably sort of mid-20th century.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01So, it's not hugely, hugely old, but it has got some age to it.
0:33:01 > 0:33:05I think it's an old fairground toy. What are your thoughts about it?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Well, we really liked it
0:33:07 > 0:33:10and I liked it particularly because it's made of wood,
0:33:10 > 0:33:14it applies, really, the ethos of the pre-school,
0:33:14 > 0:33:16growing up naturally.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18We have some of these within school,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21because people have been practising with them.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24Brilliant, because that's the one thing it didn't have.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27What are your thoughts on...
0:33:27 > 0:33:31How much would it be worth to you?
0:33:31 > 0:33:34I would probably offer you about £80 for the piece.
0:33:34 > 0:33:39- I was hoping for more in the region of £100.- Maybe £90?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I think I would be very happy with £90, yes.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Thank you very much, £90 sounds like a good deal to me.
0:33:44 > 0:33:48- Is that OK, children? - Is that good? One, two, three.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50ALL: It's a deal!
0:33:52 > 0:33:54Well, I'm absolutely thrilled with that.
0:33:54 > 0:33:56I can't believe it's going to go somewhere so perfect.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58It's going to be used and treasured.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01Christina will treasure her profit of £35,
0:34:01 > 0:34:04but she needs to chase a much larger pot of gold
0:34:04 > 0:34:07in order to bring herself level with The Hitman,
0:34:07 > 0:34:11particularly after the sale of his 1920s athletics photograph,
0:34:11 > 0:34:15the Oxford and Cambridge Club in central London buy it for £120.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19It's the perfect room...
0:34:19 > 0:34:21for the perfect picture.
0:34:21 > 0:34:26- It's a good piece and I would like it. 120.- 120?
0:34:26 > 0:34:29- Thank you very much.- Excellent, thank you very much indeed.
0:34:29 > 0:34:33Jonty sprints off with a profit of £110.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35The selling is now at full throttle,
0:34:35 > 0:34:38so let's see how the profits are piling up.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Jonty The Hitman Hearnden has so far made four sales,
0:34:43 > 0:34:47taking a very healthy profit of £342.
0:34:47 > 0:34:51Christina The Magpie Trevanion, meanwhile, has seen off three items
0:34:51 > 0:34:54and her profit at this stage is just £75,
0:34:54 > 0:34:56but it's worth pointing out
0:34:56 > 0:35:00that she's not yet attempted to sell her more expensive items.
0:35:01 > 0:35:04So, Jonty is having a whale of a sale time
0:35:04 > 0:35:07but he doesn't dare write off Christina just yet.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11She's working furiously to set up those sales.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13Her biggest lot in Malvern
0:35:13 > 0:35:15came from a trip back in time to the 1920s
0:35:15 > 0:35:18when she found her Art Deco fashion illustration.
0:35:18 > 0:35:21She admitted at the time that at £185,
0:35:21 > 0:35:26she paid over the odds for it, so she's really got to aim high.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28She might just have found the perfect person,
0:35:28 > 0:35:31an aficionado of all things Art Deco.
0:35:33 > 0:35:37I'm here to see Linda, who is a huge fan of all things Art Deco.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40I'm hoping that she will fall in love with this wonderful picture
0:35:40 > 0:35:41as much as I did.
0:35:41 > 0:35:43Linda, looking around your beautiful home,
0:35:43 > 0:35:48it's quite clear that you are a big fan of the Art Deco style and period.
0:35:48 > 0:35:52I bought this picture at an antiques fair in Worcestershire,
0:35:52 > 0:35:55but the reason I bought it is because this is the actual drawing,
0:35:55 > 0:35:56it's not a print.
0:35:56 > 0:36:01It is a pen drawing, drawn by an artist called GA Carol
0:36:01 > 0:36:05who basically put together all the drawings for the Fraser and Sons,
0:36:05 > 0:36:08who are the forerunners of House of Fraser,
0:36:08 > 0:36:13for their spring/summer catalogue in 1925. What do you think of it?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14My first impression is it's fantastic.
0:36:14 > 0:36:18I love it and I can just see it perfectly in my house.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22To move it on, I would be looking for £220.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24How does that sound to you?
0:36:24 > 0:36:26I'd snap your hand off.
0:36:26 > 0:36:29Darn it, I should have asked for more!
0:36:29 > 0:36:32£220 sounds like a brilliant deal,
0:36:32 > 0:36:34thank you ever so much.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Oh, Christina, you went in too low!
0:36:36 > 0:36:39Just when she needed a bigger profit.
0:36:39 > 0:36:42£35, though, will just have to do.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45Over in Wantage, The Hitman is heading to the pub,
0:36:45 > 0:36:48not to celebrate his rival's underselling
0:36:48 > 0:36:49but to meet landlord Peter,
0:36:49 > 0:36:52who is looking for artefacts to adorn his ale house.
0:36:52 > 0:36:56What will he make of the scales that cost Jonty £45?
0:36:58 > 0:36:59It's an interesting piece
0:36:59 > 0:37:02that I would like to have as a decorative item.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04It's a lovely object, 150 quid.
0:37:04 > 0:37:09- How about 110?- Do you know what? I can cope with that.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13The scales tip further in Jonty's favour and a profit of £65.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15Will the drinks be on him?
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Christina bags her next profit from the brass stamp box.
0:37:19 > 0:37:23She sells it to an antiques dealer in Shrewsbury for £48
0:37:23 > 0:37:26and slips another £10 into her profit purse.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29The unsporting part of The Magpie's mind
0:37:29 > 0:37:33might be hoping that Jonty makes a loss on his last two items.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Sadly for her, The Hitman doubles his money with a tie pin
0:37:36 > 0:37:37and sells it for £40
0:37:37 > 0:37:40to a lady in Buckinghamshire who owns horses.
0:37:40 > 0:37:43He gallops away with a profit of £22.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Jonty's hoping to really step up the pressure with his last item,
0:37:48 > 0:37:51the decorator's ladder that cost him £30.
0:37:51 > 0:37:55He has taken it to Kerry, who is a florist in Oxfordshire,
0:37:55 > 0:38:00but what could a florist possibly want with a ladder?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02A pair of painted stepladders like this
0:38:02 > 0:38:05just works so well in a florist's to use as display.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Have you ever seen something like this,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09or used something like this before?
0:38:09 > 0:38:13I have seen this type of design displayed in London shops,
0:38:13 > 0:38:17- so it would work really well. - Are you interested in a price?
0:38:17 > 0:38:21- Yeah. Go for it.- What about 110?
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Er...
0:38:22 > 0:38:25- I was thinking more sort of 80.- 80?
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- HE INHALES SHARPLY - Oh, no, that's too little for me.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- OK.- What about 100?
0:38:30 > 0:38:35- OK. Let's go for it.- 100?- Yes, 100. - Perfect. Thank you very much indeed.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Jonty more than triples his investment in the stepladder
0:38:39 > 0:38:42and heads home with a profit of £70.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45And The Hitman is all sold up,
0:38:45 > 0:38:49which leaves just one last sale for Christina - and it's crucial.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52She's counting on the cool box to come good
0:38:52 > 0:38:54and give her the comeback to end all comebacks.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57She's hoping her retro rarity
0:38:57 > 0:39:01will please someone with a bug for retro roadsters
0:39:01 > 0:39:03and so...the nation waits...
0:39:03 > 0:39:05with bated breath.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07One wrong move and it's all over.
0:39:07 > 0:39:11Will The Magpie succeed in a sparkling sale?
0:39:13 > 0:39:15Well, the light's starting to fade now
0:39:15 > 0:39:18and I've travelled quite a long way up to Poynton in Cheshire
0:39:18 > 0:39:19to see a chap called Paul,
0:39:19 > 0:39:21who I believe does quite a lot of touring
0:39:21 > 0:39:23in his classic cars and vehicles.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26So, I'm hoping that a cooler is what he needs
0:39:26 > 0:39:29for those trips away from home.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31Paul, I seriously think this is the tidiest garage
0:39:31 > 0:39:33I've ever been into my life.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36I felt like I had to wipe my feet when I walked in. It's immaculate.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38THEY LAUGH
0:39:38 > 0:39:42I've bought you this cool box, cooler,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45- because I know that you do quite a lot of touring...- Indeed.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47..with your classic cars and vehicles,
0:39:47 > 0:39:48and I thought it's the kind of thing
0:39:48 > 0:39:52that you might want to take with you to keep, obviously, things cool.
0:39:52 > 0:39:56- It's obviously quite an early advertising box.- Uh-hm.
0:39:56 > 0:40:00So, what are your thoughts? Is it the kind of thing you might want to use?
0:40:00 > 0:40:01It is. I've always fancied one.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04As you say, we do go to lots of car shows and outdoor events...
0:40:04 > 0:40:07- Right.- ..and it would be ideal for putting our drinks in
0:40:07 > 0:40:11- to keep them cool.- I think at some point it has been repainted,
0:40:11 > 0:40:15cos obviously it has got some slightly different tones to it.
0:40:15 > 0:40:18- Indeed.- And there's also a bit of a weld at the back here,
0:40:18 > 0:40:23which may have been a repair at some point.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25So, will the damage put Paul off,
0:40:25 > 0:40:29or will he dig deep and fork out a fistful of cash to Christina?
0:40:29 > 0:40:33We'll find out if she reaps enough readies in just a moment.
0:40:33 > 0:40:36Both our dealers started at the antiques fair
0:40:36 > 0:40:40with £750 of their own money to spend.
0:40:40 > 0:40:45Jonty The Hitman Hearnden made seven purchases and spent £431.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Christina The Magpie Trevanion bought six items
0:40:49 > 0:40:52and spent just a tiny bit more, £438.
0:40:52 > 0:40:57But all that matters now is who's made the most profit.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59All the money that Jonty and Christina have made
0:40:59 > 0:41:00from today's challenge
0:41:00 > 0:41:02will go to charities of their choice.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05So, without further ado, let's find out who is
0:41:05 > 0:41:08today's Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is champion.
0:41:08 > 0:41:11- Hello.- How are you?
0:41:11 > 0:41:14- I'm very good.- Good. - Now, I enjoyed buying...- Yes?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16- Did you enjoy selling? - Yeah, I did. Yeah.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19I had some really interesting things. Really interesting things.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Remember that lovely sort of fashion plate picture
0:41:22 > 0:41:24- I bought with the ladies with the hats?- Yep.- Loved that.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27Very reluctant to sell that, but obviously you have to.
0:41:27 > 0:41:29- Made loads of money?- Made a bit of money. A little bit of money.
0:41:29 > 0:41:34- How about you?- Yes, I had my humidor, the cigar box.- Yes.- That sold well.
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Good. Excellent. Some interesting things.
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- Shall we see how varied our prices are?- Ready?- One, two, three.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42SHE LAUGHS
0:41:42 > 0:41:45- Oh!- Wow.- 499!
0:41:45 > 0:41:47- Good Lord!- Goodness me.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50What did you get £499 for?!
0:41:50 > 0:41:52That's amazing. Well done, you.
0:41:52 > 0:41:54- Goodness me.- Well, we know what they say...
0:41:54 > 0:41:57"The more you see, the less you know."
0:41:57 > 0:41:59I think that's very much me.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02Yes, that's a comprehensive win for The Hitman.
0:42:02 > 0:42:03Some might call it a thrashing.
0:42:03 > 0:42:07So, what happened to the cool box Christina bought for £120?
0:42:09 > 0:42:13- I think 150 would be my top end.- £150.
0:42:13 > 0:42:16- I hope you have many, many, many happy times with it.- We will.
0:42:16 > 0:42:19- I'm sure you will.- It's a shame there's not a drink in it
0:42:19 > 0:42:22- at the moment. We could have celebrated.- There isn't a drink.
0:42:22 > 0:42:23- However, you do get...- Oh, no!
0:42:25 > 0:42:27..two free exercise batons.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29I should have mentioned those before, shouldn't I?
0:42:29 > 0:42:33- I'll take those off you! - Probably wise.- Thank you.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36Yes, it might have been a good idea to sell the batons separately.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39The cool box made a chilly profit of just £30
0:42:39 > 0:42:41and sealed Christina's fate.
0:42:41 > 0:42:45I really enjoyed the UK antiques fair,
0:42:45 > 0:42:47I had such fun, and they always say life's about the memories
0:42:47 > 0:42:50and I sold some really, really nice things to some lovely people.
0:42:50 > 0:42:55So, all's a winner for me but, sadly, still not enough to beat Jonty.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Wow. What a fabulous, fabulous market that was.
0:42:59 > 0:43:01I really enjoyed the selling.
0:43:01 > 0:43:05Every single thing that I sold I managed to sell really well.
0:43:05 > 0:43:07Jonty may be today's big winner,
0:43:07 > 0:43:09but Christina could turn it all around tomorrow
0:43:09 > 0:43:13when our bargaining buccaneers fight it out at a flea market in France.
