Bob and his cast mates shop his favorite flea market, The Garage in NYC. The challenge is to find items in New York that will do well at an auction in Virginia.
John comes off as being a know-it-all, which doesn't mean he's not a nice man, but it isn't good in the business, because people who think they know everything, usually aren't as open to other people's expertise, and are very set in their ways. Bob's very hip, I'd go shopping with him, any day, he rocks. My late mom and I had a little flea market business for years, and I love this show because it brings back many happy memories.
dealers go to auctions and estate sales to buy their items they sell ...I hope to start selling antiques and items myself soon .I have been going to markets like this since I was a little girl with my parents ....I know the tricks of the trades by hanging out with the vendors and working with them

"The Antiques Garage thrived in Chelsea for 20 years as the first indoor flea market in New York City. True to its name, the market was in a two-story concrete parking garage and known as the go-to destination for some of the best antiques in the city. While looming threats of an impending closure lingered on for years, it wasn't until late June 2014 that the Antiques Garage finally closed its doors for the last time".
The pickers way overpaid on all of their items.... The folks that won in the auction, will now flip it to suckers like these guys for their profits! The guys in the flea market made a killing on them, except for maybe the stamp guy, who was probably just happy to be on TV!
+Numis Mm I wonder where the flea market vendors get their stuff to sell, from other flea markets or yard sales? It seems that 'cool junk' keeps shifting hands. Any comments?
I think that they get their stuff dealer to dealer at flea markets.... but probably mainly at grandma's garage sale,,, where the kids are just dumping grandmas stuff... many of these guys are professional liquidators, they will advertise that they will clean out and "liquidate a house"... they need some heavy movers and a truck to clean out a house, they pick out what they want, then they getpaid for the clean-out, and give the owners something back (small %) if they sell off their stuff.
I would say the one painting did go way too cheap, even for being in the south, since most of them know they can get more for it even by shipping to a auction house right back up there.
This was the saddest auction house I have ever seen, with a great auctioneer. Guess I wouldn't go to sell but to buy items from, stuff was going cheap.
I have not seen this show in a long time. Kevin reminds me why I didn;t watch episodes with him very often. Notice that means I would only watch the show periodically. He is an annoying git. Thinks his word is the only correct thing and he is the smartest in the room when he is not. I had a brother just like him. Love everyone else. especially John. He makes me laugh.
this shows, show you how to be an expert scum bag on knowing how to scam an honest vendor, so you can flip it ,at another auction place full of suckers who don't know where to acquire antiques ,
I'm gonna tell you what the real problem is!!! You don't buy in New York and sell elsewhere, You buy elsewhere and sell in New York!!! Everybody should know that New Yorkers over pay!!!
Hey Bob, love the show. Too bad they stopped making it. Really enjoyed how much energy you brought to the episodes you were in. Take care.
Hi ,I agree with you . That was one of m favorite on PBS station.

OldMaidWhovian akaNancyG , HE is a real penis.
When miller an kevin exist... how can you see any fault in john?
Thanks for the video! Wish the series didn't end.
It amazes me sometimes how Miller even got this gig. On more than one occasion she has messed up the target item
John Bruno has been in every booth in every show east of the Mississippi.
I wish they would bring it back so enjoyed it

Numis Mm Sounds like a good method to make a few bucks in cool junk.

They can't be spending their own money on that junk.To take such a hit.
John is from Brooklyn, an outer borough. Also he had to be a punk kid because he is such a whiny annoying adult.
Please let me know local place address Thanks Bod

"She's turning 22 "
Is Miller really that young, so is Bob joking?
This is a copy of the British show where dealers buy things and re sell in auction ,,
That girl hella fine
Miller just always came off as a whiney spoiled brat when things didn't go her way.
Miller seems like an idiot. On more than one occasion she has messed up the target item.
millers smirking is so very unprofessional. please stop her
this shows, show you how to be an expert scum bag on knowing how to scam an honest vendor, so you can flip it ,at another auction place full of suckers who don't know where to acquire antiques ,
It’s called making a profit you pleb
That's the business.
terrible pickers.
I really enjoyed this show but Miller's little girl act was and still is when rewatching this show, cringeworthy.
