Market Warriors

In the series premiere episode of MARKET WARRIORS, our four pickers (Miller, John, Bob and Kevin) head out to Lancaster, Pennyslvania, home to Renningers Adamstown - a large indoor/outdoor flea market where they will be challenged to find Mid-Century modern items amid the Pennsylvania Dutch antiques. The pickers scour the market for key finds, which include an Eames chair, Moss floor lamp and a Tiffany® jelly jar. The winning picker is determined at A.N. Abell Auction Company in Los Angeles, California where their chosen items go under the hammer.

This week on MARKET WARRIORS, our pickers (Miller, John, Bob and Kevin) are in the city of brotherly love, and working in close quarters at the 60-vendor Phila Flea Market. Working within their fixed budgets, the challenge is to find costume jewelry — with an eye toward selling their finds for profit at auction. Notable picks include a set by the French jeweler Marcel Boucher and additional items such as a Playboy™ ice bucket and a Japanese mixed metal vase. It becomes clear whose strategy is working best when the items are auctioned at A.N. Abell Auction Company in Los Angeles.
