Flea Market Flips, a show about transforming flea market junk into chic, upscale furnishings to resell for a profit.
Yes, these people make handsome profits - sometimes - but only because they don't have to pay for any of the materials (leather, upholstery fabric, paint, etc) or professional help used in transforming the items (c'mon, how many people have an arc welder at home?), nor do they have to pay to rent the space at the uber-pricey markets they resell at. It's fun to see people's ideas for remaking the items, but the money part is totally unrealistic. If you want to try it at home, bear in mind that most of these flippers wouldn't have even broken even.
