0:00:42 > 0:00:45Can you give it to us for five?
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- You are getting a really good deal. - £6 for them.- Yes, £6, OK. Yeah.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53They're tough negotiators.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57- 7.5.- 7.5? What, meet halfway?- Yeah.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And they're top sellers.

0:01:13 > 0:01:17and they could be named Britain's best young traders.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Welcome to the semifinal of Trade Your Way To The USA.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Today's semifinalists are Sapphire from South London
0:01:29 > 0:01:33versus The Determinators from Lancashire.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Sapphire stormed to victory in the first challenge
0:01:36 > 0:01:39with their pick-and-mix fruit dessert stall.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Anyone want any Eton mess for just £1? Come along, come along!
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Bismah, Sonali and Komal
0:01:46 > 0:01:51took £136.60 - a massive £61.60 profit.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54I'm really, really excited, but also very nervous.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57They showed they're tough traders.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Hello, sir. We have a pick-and-mix fruit stall.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Rather than wait for customers to come to them,
0:02:03 > 0:02:07they took their desserts out on the road, even selling to other traders.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12- Would you like a pick-and-mix fruit desert?- Come on, sir, give us a yes!
0:02:12 > 0:02:15So Sapphire proved they're top traders,
0:02:15 > 0:02:18but they're up against some tough competition.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20The Determinators came out on top,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- running a cheese stall at a farmers' market.- Fresh cheese!
0:02:24 > 0:02:26Bread going half price!
0:02:26 > 0:02:31Suhail, Danny and Eli took £123.13,
0:02:31 > 0:02:35a healthy profit of over £48.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38The Determinators were strong cheese traders.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40That's £3.10.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42We're selling out of cheese
0:02:42 > 0:02:45so I think we're going to do well and at the end of the day,
0:02:45 > 0:02:47we're going to make a large profit.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51With time running out, they slashed their prices
0:02:51 > 0:02:52and sold all their stock.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59So it's sparkling, smooth-talking Sapphire versus Determinators,
0:02:59 > 0:03:01the deal-making dynamos.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08But which team will take the most money and win the semifinal?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Because only one team will be jetting off
0:03:10 > 0:03:13to New York for the grand final.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16It's time to trade.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25Today we're sending our teams to Prestatyn in North Wales,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28to one of Britain's most popular family-holiday resorts.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32Thousands of people come on holiday here every year
0:03:32 > 0:03:35for sun, sea, sand and fun.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Determinators, Sapphire, congratulations,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41you've made it to the semifinal.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42ALL: Thanks.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45It's a big achievement. How are you feeling?
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Really excited, but really anxious for the task ahead.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50OK.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Danny, are you up for it? - Yeah, I'm up for it.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55I'm nervous, because we don't know what we're doing.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, guys, everything's at stake.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The team that wins today is going to the USA.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Are you ready to find out what your challenge is?- Yes.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09Get ready to be creative because you have got to come up with
0:04:09 > 0:04:12your own fancy dress theme to sell to partygoers
0:04:12 > 0:04:15at a Welsh holiday camp.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So the teams will have to decide what costumes
0:04:18 > 0:04:21will be bestsellers for the big fancy dress parade tomorrow.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24There'll be hundreds of partygoers.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26What will they be looking to buy?
0:04:28 > 0:04:30I've got your trading funds here.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33This time the amount has been doubled.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Remember, as I always say, spend it wisely.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Thank you.
0:04:38 > 0:04:44With the £150 trade fund they have to buy in two different places.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48In this fancy dress shop they have to spend £75.
0:04:48 > 0:04:52And with the other £75 they'll hit the High Street.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55But first they have to do their research.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Sandra has run this business,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Clown Around, for over 19 years.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03If I were you, I would pick her brains,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05ask as many questions as you can,
0:05:05 > 0:05:09because her knowledge will help you to firm up some of your ideas.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12So what main target audience come here
0:05:12 > 0:05:16and is it like under-fives or under-15s?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19On average it's from your age group right up to adults.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- What fancy dress do the adults buy? - At the moment...
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Themes change and whatnot,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29but at the moment, it seems to be the pirates or '70s.
0:05:29 > 0:05:30As I say, the big Afros
0:05:30 > 0:05:34and the bling stuff, as everybody calls it these days.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36I noticed the face paint there. Is that a big seller
0:05:36 > 0:05:38or does nobody like that?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40The one that we sell is very popular.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43And it's a quality professional make-up.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45The teams have really quizzed Sandra.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50Top traders, remember, it's vital to do your market research.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52You need to know where you're selling,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55who you're selling to and who your competition is.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Sapphire and The Determinators now have just 15 minutes
0:06:03 > 0:06:06to decide what to buy for their fancy dress stalls.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11The Determinators have come up with a clear idea and Suhail thinks
0:06:11 > 0:06:12they're onto a winner.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15We're thinking of selling mostly pirate stuff
0:06:15 > 0:06:19because she said that pirates are probably the bestsellers in the shop.
0:06:19 > 0:06:24- Yeah, we definitely need the hats. - These are £2. Five of each.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- Do you do the balloons separately? - Yes. They're £1.50 each.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35A shoe buckle. Put it on your shoes So it looks like they're boots.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37There's a pirate scarf.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Yeah, we need to think about females as well.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41That's for females.
0:06:42 > 0:06:46Sapphire are planning to buy a big selection of accessories.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Sandra, can I ask you a question? - Yes.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50How much are the wigs?
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- They're different prices. - How much would you say...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55The blue one is £8.99.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Sapphire are picking things without a theme. It could be risky.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02Police baton, £1.75.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05Our plan for tomorrow is a pick-and-mix thing
0:07:05 > 0:07:08so we'll ask the customer who they want to dress up as
0:07:08 > 0:07:11and we'll give them all the accessories and give them
0:07:11 > 0:07:14anything they need to look like that character.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20- So these ones are £1.75. - A dollar medallion is £3.75.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22We're only allowed to spend £75 in the shop so we have
0:07:22 > 0:07:24to get as much as we can for our money.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26The stuff here is quite expensive.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30It is time to spend the first £75.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33They've now got to negotiate with Sandra.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Remember, they have to haggle for the best prices now so they can
0:07:36 > 0:07:40take the most money tomorrow and trade their way to the USA.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43The Determinators are up first.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46The hook. Could we have six?
0:07:46 > 0:07:53Now it's £9.75 for five. Could we have six for £9.75?
0:07:55 > 0:07:59- So we're getting an extra one? - OK.- Good start.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02Determinators get six hooks for the price of five.
0:08:02 > 0:08:06Patches. Please could we have six of them?
0:08:06 > 0:08:12So we're paying £4.75 for five, but pay £4.75 for six.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Again, Danny's pushing for an extra one free.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18And on the bandana, could we get...
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- We're on five for... - The Jack Sparrow one.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27..for £7.45, but could we get three of these...
0:08:27 > 0:08:31and two of the big Jack Sparrow ones?
0:08:31 > 0:08:33OK.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- All right.- Good work, Danny.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38He's made great deals on the hooks, patches and bandanas.
0:08:38 > 0:08:42- Is the deal sealed? - We'll let the calculator decide.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46Well, that comes to £68.
0:08:46 > 0:08:51The Determinators have £7 left and Danny wants to spend it all.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52Five, um...
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- You know, the moustaches with metal bits on it?- Mm.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Five of them added on.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- But they were £2 something. - To equal it up.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I'll stretch you to three.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Thank you.- Pleasure doing business. - And to you.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- I think she'll be happy. - Thank you.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15I think the Determinators have spent their £75 very wisely.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18They've chosen items that you can only buy in a fancy dress shop.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24Next it's Sapphire's turn to haggle. They want lots of things
0:09:24 > 0:09:26and Bismah's looking for a monster deal.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30We want to offer you two deals and we're hoping
0:09:30 > 0:09:32that you choose one of them -
0:09:32 > 0:09:34whichever one's better for you.
0:09:34 > 0:09:41The first one is that we buy our stock and you give us 50% off
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- every item.- But there is quite a bit of stock.
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- Yeah.- But it's quite a bit of a discount as well.
0:09:50 > 0:09:55The second negotiation is that we pick up as much as we like.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But we'll give you £75.
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- 40%.- 45.- 45.
0:10:01 > 0:10:0440 and I'll throw some freebies in as we're going along.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06OK, that's fine.
0:10:06 > 0:10:09- Yay!- Yay!- Thank you, Sandra. - Thank you, Sandra.- We love you.
0:10:09 > 0:10:1240% discount.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14That is amazing and it is a first on this show.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Those girls are so cheeky, but they stick to their guns
0:10:17 > 0:10:19and they get what they want.
0:10:19 > 0:10:23Sapphire push Sandra to the limit.
0:10:23 > 0:10:29- The total would normally retail at £121.30. How much discount?- 40%.
0:10:29 > 0:10:37- It comes to £72.78. - How would they spend what is left?
0:10:37 > 0:10:41What is your cheapest wig?
0:10:42 > 0:10:45The cheapest wig is £4.99.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- That is OK.- That is like around half. Come on.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51It's the last thing we need to buy.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Yeah.
0:10:57 > 0:11:04Wow! To top it off, Sapphire get the £4.99 wig for £2.22. Result.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06They got a huge discount,
0:11:06 > 0:11:09but I am concerned about the items they have chosen.
0:11:09 > 0:11:11I am not sure what their theme is,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14whereas the Determinators were very specific
0:11:14 > 0:11:15with their pirate theme.
0:11:16 > 0:11:20The teams have bought their fancy dress accessories.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24Determinators are going big on a pirate theme.
0:11:24 > 0:11:29And Sapphire's strategy is a risky mix and match,
0:11:29 > 0:11:30make-your-own-costume stall.
0:11:34 > 0:11:40Now they have to hit the High Street with the remaining £75.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They head to the discount stores
0:11:42 > 0:11:46and charity shops to find the best fancy dress outfits.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52- Are these sold?- No.- How much are they?- They are £2.50 each.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53I think we found
0:11:53 > 0:11:56better stuff than the fancy dress shop in cheaper prices.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59That has boosted my confidence.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Those police hats are a real find
0:12:02 > 0:12:05and seven for £3.50 is a top bargain.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07We saw a whole section of fancy dress items
0:12:07 > 0:12:10and we got really good bargains.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- For £70 we got three bags' worth of stuff.- Thank you.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19The Determinators are making some cheeky buys for their pirate stall.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22We are looking for striped shirts and pants.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25We can cut them and make them shreddy.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27They are on the hunt for shirts
0:12:27 > 0:12:30and trousers to make their pirate outfits.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35That is £20.50. Thank you.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38- Everything is £1?- Yup.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44- Everything is £1. - We've got £6 left to buy some pants.
0:12:46 > 0:12:51That is a good buy, £6.10 for four pairs of trousers and two T-shirts.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I'm confident.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56We're happy with everything we bought.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59We won't regret anything. It should go to plan.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03The buying is over,
0:13:03 > 0:13:08so what has each team bought with their £150 trade fund?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12The Determinators have gone for a swashbuckling pirate-tastic stall.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17They spent £75 on hats, swords, eye patches, hooks and bandanas.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20On the High Street they bought stripy shirts
0:13:20 > 0:13:23and trousers to complete the look.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Sapphire have a mix-and-match idea.
0:13:26 > 0:13:30In the fancy dress shop they bought lots of fun, cheap accessories
0:13:30 > 0:13:33and got some great free face paints.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38With £75 on the High Street they found some quirky costumes,
0:13:38 > 0:13:42police hat, sombreros and masks.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48So, it's the pirates of the Determinators versus Sapphire's
0:13:48 > 0:13:52pick-your-own idea. It's going to be a tough competition.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55There is so much at stake.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58The team that wins this challenge will be going to New York.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Who will compete in the Grand Final
0:14:00 > 0:14:04and be named Britain's best young traders?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Now it is all about who sells best.
0:14:10 > 0:14:14We are here at Pontin's holiday park in Prestatyn.
0:14:14 > 0:14:19The holidaymakers are getting ready for the fancy dress parade.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23But what kind of costumes will they want to buy?
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Let the battle commence.
0:14:24 > 0:14:29OK, teams, here we are at our Welsh holiday camp in Prestatyn.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31We are surrounded by potential partygoers.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33How are you feeling, Bismah?
0:14:33 > 0:14:36I'm feeling really excited. I have seen the people here
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- and I think I know how to attract customers, so I'm excited.- OK.
0:14:40 > 0:14:45- What about you, Determinators? - We've looked and they're mostly kids.
0:14:45 > 0:14:49That's who we've aimed it for. I think we are going to do well.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51Brilliant, two very confident teams.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56Let me remind you the team that takes the most money today
0:14:56 > 0:14:59wins the challenge and is definitely going to the USA.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02The other team will be eliminated out of the competition.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04Are you ready to party?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06ALL: Yeah!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08Let's go set up our stalls.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15There's just three hours to sell,
0:15:15 > 0:15:18which team will be on their way to the USA?
0:15:18 > 0:15:20The pressure's on to get their stalls ready.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24I think it is very important to get our stall laid out,
0:15:24 > 0:15:27because presentation is one of the first things people go for,
0:15:27 > 0:15:31so we're trying our best and hopefully we'll come out good.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34The Determinators are cutting up their shirts and trousers
0:15:34 > 0:15:36to give them a pirate look.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I have to wear this costume in public.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42So...I'm a bit embarrassed.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Feeling good, but nervous at the same time
0:15:47 > 0:15:51cos the store opens in 10 minutes and we still have a lot to set up.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54We have a lot of stock, which will help us win the challenge,
0:15:54 > 0:15:57but it's also a hassle putting it all on such a small table.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05Both teams have thought hard about how to price their products.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Just explain your pricing to me? I want to dress up as a pirate,
0:16:08 > 0:16:12what will I get and how much will I pay for it?
0:16:12 > 0:16:13It all depends on the items.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15What Suhail's wearing,
0:16:15 > 0:16:17we bought that for £6 so we're going to have it double.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20OK. I want to buy a hat,
0:16:20 > 0:16:23I want a hook, and I want an earring.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- And a sword. How much is that going to cost me?- £13.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29£13?
0:16:29 > 0:16:31So this outfit is £13?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Sapphire girls, you look fantastic. How are you feeling?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- Very excited, ready to go. - There's loads of customers.
0:16:37 > 0:16:39Brilliant.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42OK, you've got all your stock out, the store looks fantastic.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45There's lots of items here. Just tell me about your pricing.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48I think we're going to start off at £6-7,
0:16:48 > 0:16:51depending on the customer and what they want to be.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55OK, £6-7 for an outfit? And just so that I know,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58how many items are you selling for that amount?
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Probably three to four, not more than that.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Whatever makes them look like what they want to be.- Excited?- Yes!
0:17:04 > 0:17:05- Feeling confident?- Yes!
0:17:05 > 0:17:07- You ready to go soon?- Yes!
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I'll see you in a bit.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Arr, me mateys!
0:17:11 > 0:17:13All fancy dress for sale here.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The stalls are set up and the teams want to sell.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17Teams, are you ready?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19ALL: Yeah!
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Start selling!
0:17:23 > 0:17:26They're £6 for a full outfit. I'm going to give you this skirt.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Some sunglasses to match your outfit.
0:17:28 > 0:17:31Let's give you something else. What do you want to be?
0:17:31 > 0:17:35The sombreros went straight away. We didn't have enough
0:17:35 > 0:17:38so they were willing to pay quite high prices for them.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42We bought the sombreros for £2.50 and they sold for £4,
0:17:42 > 0:17:45so we made a lot of profit and people were fighting over them.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46It's been really good.
0:17:46 > 0:17:52Selling those sombreros, Sapphire make a £3 profit.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Sapphire have made a fantastic start.
0:17:56 > 0:17:59They've got a clear plan and a clear sales strategy,
0:17:59 > 0:18:01and they're sticking to it.
0:18:01 > 0:18:05Their prices are brilliant. It's a very good start.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11The Determinators are hunting for a sale.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13It started off pretty bad,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16but I think it's going to get all right now.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Suhail's gone out in a pirate costume.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20He's attracting customers here.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23We've got smaller ones.
0:18:23 > 0:18:24How much are these?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26That'll come to £6.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Danny gets the ball rolling and sells a sword and a hat for £6.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32That's over £2 profit.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- Those face paints look popular. - We decided
0:18:41 > 0:18:43that we would do some face painting,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Sonali couldn't do anything.
0:18:45 > 0:18:47They were like, "You can do it!"
0:18:47 > 0:18:50I was like, "Oh, OK, let's do it."
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I tried to practise on people yesterday.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55It's a great hit, loads of people want to get it done.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57A blue C and then a blue dot?
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Sapphire's face painting is clearly a big hit.
0:19:01 > 0:19:05They are charging £1.50 per face, and the paint was free.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Thank you very much.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Over at the Determinators' stall,
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Danny knows they need to pull out all the stops
0:19:21 > 0:19:24if they're going to make it to the final in New York.
0:19:24 > 0:19:28He goes to the ice rink to tell people about their pirate stall.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Would you like a fancy dress costume?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Would you like to buy some fancy dress costumes for this evening?
0:19:34 > 0:19:38Shiver me timbers, the ice skaters are a tough crowd to please.
0:19:38 > 0:19:39I don't think it went that well.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42They didn't know where our stall was.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Outside, it's not so easy.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49Sonali's keeping her eye on the competition
0:19:49 > 0:19:52and also hits the road, taking some accessories with her.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55They're only £5, and I can give them to you for £3.50.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00Sonali's sold two pom-poms to her youngest customer yet.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02There's no stopping her now.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04That's great, thank you very much.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Do you want this?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Yeah? This is £2.50.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12She's a mean, keen selling machine.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15Well, I came with some pom-poms, a red nose,
0:20:15 > 0:20:17two hula necklaces and an orange pumpkin scarf,
0:20:17 > 0:20:19and sold all of it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Where's your mummy?
0:20:24 > 0:20:25There's just one hour to go,
0:20:25 > 0:20:30and the Determinators are battling to get the customers.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Danny and Suhail decide to take drastic action.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35It's time to take to the stage.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Hello, everybody! Is everybody going to the fancy dress this evening?
0:20:40 > 0:20:41ALL: Yeah!
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- Have you got your costumes yet? - Yeah!
0:20:44 > 0:20:48If not, our stall's on the left.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52It's absolutely amazing, you can't get better costumes anywhere.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54Give him a round of applause.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57That's a great bit of advertising.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01All you top traders, don't forget to promote your product,
0:21:01 > 0:21:05because the more publicity you can get for it, the more customers
0:21:05 > 0:21:08will know about it and are likely to buy it.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Danny's stage stunt has paid off. The pirate stall is packed.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Can I have that one instead?
0:21:21 > 0:21:25The Determinators are rising to the challenge.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Determinators, what's happened to your stock?!
0:21:28 > 0:21:31How have you managed to turn this around?
0:21:31 > 0:21:33We had a huge flood of customers,
0:21:33 > 0:21:35and we cleared about £30-40 worth of stuff.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39You have sold a lot of stuff, but are you having any problems?
0:21:39 > 0:21:42People want accessories, not as much clothes.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46The way that you've presented the clothes isn't very appealing?
0:21:46 > 0:21:49You've still got lots to sell.
0:21:49 > 0:21:51These clothes are worth a lot of money,
0:21:51 > 0:21:54so that could make all the difference between
0:21:54 > 0:21:56you not going to New York, and going to New York.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58It's up to you. I'll see you later.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02My top trading tip is presentation is key.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05You have to make your store look good, because that will
0:22:05 > 0:22:08attract the customers, and you're likely to get a sale.
0:22:08 > 0:22:14OK, girls, wow. Looks like you've really sold out your stock, nearly.
0:22:14 > 0:22:15Yeah, almost.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17Tell me what's been going on.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20People took all the costumes, and now we have bits and bobs left,
0:22:20 > 0:22:22so we're trying to get rid of this.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Well done. Well, listen, carry on, I'll see you later.
0:22:25 > 0:22:26ALL: Thank you.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32The Determinators take note and get to work dressing their stall.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41Over with Sapphire, they're doing well.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44We bought six or seven police hats from a charity shop,
0:22:44 > 0:22:48for I think 50, 60p, and we're selling them for £2.50 each,
0:22:48 > 0:22:51so we're making quite a big profit on them.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56Guys, you've got less than 15 minutes left.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00There's still a lot of stock here now. What are you doing about it?
0:23:00 > 0:23:01Getting rid of it.
0:23:01 > 0:23:02How are you going to do that?
0:23:02 > 0:23:06We're making it cheaper so that people will buy it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08OK, so you've got stock, it's a fantastic price,
0:23:08 > 0:23:12you've got less than 15 minutes. Do I need to say any more?
0:23:12 > 0:23:14- No.- Go for it.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16It's crunch time.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20There's only 10 minutes to go, so both teams are picking up the pace.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23All of this for 50p. All of it.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25Oh, I might as well.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- Go on, have a pound. - Are you sure?
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Here you go.- Throw it all in!
0:23:31 > 0:23:36I was planning 20p or 50p, she gave me a pound. One pound! Oh, gosh!
0:23:36 > 0:23:39I sold out the balloons for 50p.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42It's amazing. We've sold out. Completely sold out.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45All we've got left is the table and the mannequins.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'm pretty sure these might fit him.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Sapphire might have sold out,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51but the Determinators are determined
0:23:51 > 0:23:52to get rid of every last item.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54That's got skulls on.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57Thank you.
0:23:57 > 0:23:58We can sell the mannequins.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01Seriously, just sell these both for £5.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03No, no...
0:24:03 > 0:24:04Go down to £2.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05Start at two, yeah.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10- £1 for the lot. - £1 for the lot, take it.
0:24:10 > 0:24:16Determinators are dropping their prices even further.
0:24:16 > 0:24:21Everything's 50p! Everything's 50p!
0:24:21 > 0:24:26Everything's 50p, even mannequins and shirts and pirate hats!
0:24:26 > 0:24:29Selling time is over.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37Sapphire, stop selling. That's it, three hours are up.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Which team has traded their way to the USA?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45The winners today will be in the grand New York final,
0:24:45 > 0:24:49to compete to be named Britain's best young traders.
0:24:51 > 0:24:55Determinators, Sapphire, you've had a really busy day
0:24:55 > 0:24:56and you've done so well.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58I'm very, very proud of you.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01You're standing here as semifinalists,
0:25:01 > 0:25:03and it's been a fantastic experience.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Suhail, how do you feel right now?
0:25:05 > 0:25:07I feel a bit nervous,
0:25:07 > 0:25:10but still excited cos I want to know who won.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12Bismah, do you think you've become
0:25:12 > 0:25:15a better trader as a result of this experience?
0:25:15 > 0:25:17This time we met a huge variety of people
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and now we've learned how to deal with them in a nice way
0:25:20 > 0:25:24but still being firm, so it's definitely made me a better trader.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Remember, the team that makes the most money
0:25:31 > 0:25:34wins and is guaranteed to go to the USA.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37The losing team will be eliminated.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- Are you ready to find out the result?- Yeah.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Let's start with you, Determinators.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15We worked so hard, and we've got through.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Now there's only one step to go.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19I feel ecstatic. I cannot believe it.
0:26:19 > 0:26:24We can definitely win the finals. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26with our eyes closed, cos we are that good.
