Secret Dealers

Season 5, Episode 27

The Secret Dealers have one mission – to buy the antiques and valuables in your home for the best price they can using their own hard-earned cash after bidding against each other in secret. But when their bids are revealed, the homeowners are faced with some tough choices – do they sell to the best bidder, haggle for a higher offer, or turn down cold hard cash for sentimental reasons? Mark, Tim and Alison are let loose in homeowner Michael’s Yorkshire semi, where a hoard of glittering jewelry including five gold half-sovereigns on nine carat mounts leads to a whopping five-figure offer – but how tempted will Michael be to sell? Simon and Mike join Mark in the second house, where they come face to face with Mavis and her daughter Sue in a battle for a twentieth century mahogany-based barograph and a nineteenth century carved ivory crucifix.
