Slow-Moving Bargain Hunt knockoff


I caught this show a couple weeks ago on my PBS station following Antiques Roadshow. The set-up is very similar, to the point that I wonder if the producer have the American rights, to the British TV show Bargain Hunt, in which teams of two shop for items at a local flea market and they are put up in auction. BH is a 30-minute show and does not move as slowly as this show does.

The so-called "experts" keep coming across as fools on TV as the majority of items they purchase in retail at the markets don't come anywhere near what they paid for them at auction. Which really isn't a big surprise because it is nearly impossible to successfully pull that off. There is a world of difference between market prices and auction prices.

Hopefully the renewal for this show comes up at auction and misses it's asking price by about $500.
