Secret Dealers

Season 5, Episode 25

The Secret Dealers are given one hour in two antique-filled homes to make secret bids on the best items while the homeowners are away. But when the homeowners return, they are faced with some tough choices – sell their family heirlooms to the highest bidder and make a stash of cash, or hang on to the treasures? Christopher, Mark and Simon are let loose in the first house, where homeowner Kerry has been picking up car boot bargains for years. She has the dealers wrapped around her little finger as she watches her profits climb up and up. A 9-carat gold spider brooch and a broken 19th century walking stick top make her the most money as the bidding wars between the dealers heats up. Mike, David and Karen do battle in the next house, where international diver Martin has collected an eclectic array of items from all around the world. A little patch box gets the dealers bidding ferociously against each other, but a set of mysterious, odd-looking Polynesian wooden items leaves all the dealers up the proverbial creek wondering what they are.
