The HGTV show Flea Market Flip gives three duos the chance to buy furniture at a flea market, remodel it, and sell it at a flea market, and whichever duo makes the most money gets to split $5000. The competition show has been a major hit for the network, as viewers love to speculate about how they would redesign the furniture pieces that the contestants buy. However, there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes of Flea Market Flip that you might not know about. From the help they get from professionals to the waiver that sellers have to sign, let’s take a look at the untold truth of Flea Market Flip.

@@kerrijodierberger I remember Graham Kerr (aka The Galloping Gourmet), having a very popular tv show, where he began the show coming onstage with an ever present glass of wine. He was very entertaining, even getting away with cracking jokes, like referring to circumcision while peeling a cucumber. I think his show aired in the 1970’s.

It's a contest between two teams BUT their host does it all! She talks dealers down for them, she tells them what to make things into, she helps them choose items to make, she often helps sell the items or even sets the prices to sell things for,.. she might as well just do it all and not have it be a contest...... I like her as a host, but let the contestants be the contestants.

@craftie6606 5 жыл бұрын

The master craftsmen doing most of the work isn't a secret. Every time they're in the studio, they're the ones doing 90% of the work and the actual contestants might paint something or hammer a nail in. I want a show like FMF but with actually talented people who build their projects themselves.

It's like pat sajak saying what letter would u like? I'd pick " s" cause it's a popular letter. She helped one could sell an item which it helped them win. It's not fair to the other couple. The whole purpose of the game is for the couple's to do all the work from beginning to end.

They need some rule changes as to the functionality of the pieces they buy. In the Nancy Kerrigan episode, she bought some big cable reels at a cheap price; then, with the ‘additional 100 dollars’ they get during the makeover, she put a lamp on the reels and sold it as a very expensive lamp-base. That would be like buying some cheap buttons at the flea market and then ‘adding’ a wooden tray, then sticking the buttons on the tray and selling it as a breakfast tray with a huge profit because of the cheap buttons. Also, I agree with what others have said about Lara, she needs to butt out and not interfere in the process.

I thought one of the secrets revealed is that the show has a lifetime supply of grey paint. Because it never fails: practically everything that gets a new coat of paint is painted grey! And not a nice grey, one that looks like primer. I get it, neutral colors sell better, but what is it with everyone choosing the same grey paint?!

But I cant stand how the host interjects her opinion and suggests changes to the contestants plans ant it also appears there is help provided to them in the construction and assembly phase. I have seen episodes where someone else welded parts and assisted in freeing up frozen parts. I say let them design and build their own ideas. If they cant accomplish it then oh well. Again... I love the idea. But they need to let the contestants do it all on their own.

I've been watching this show because I wanted some diy ideas but was disappointed in season 1 episode 2 when Lara told the team that was losing that the other team was up by $300. She basically helped the losing team out because they priced the next item a little over what it would take for them to win. I thought that was a little shady 🙄

I love this show. But could do without the drama. I actually enjoy the ones that are respectful and nice to each other with fun teasing. Some don’t deserve to win the money for way they talk crap along with some crap they make compared to the other team. I think some get greedy but how they find that one person almost each time to buy something I could get at garage sale for 10 bucks and they selling for 200. That is suspicious to those in real world. How do we know a family member or friend or old school buddy wants called to come bad buy for a chin I of the money. I love Lara and think she needs to step away and let others do there thing and helpers are really the ones who make the product look the way it does. Also last few seasons seems like people they picked off street.
