Tonight I watched the new PBS show about flea market pickers [View all]

It's a competition. Four pickers get $1000 to spend, but there are certain goals. One piece tonight had to be costume jewelry. The rest of the money they had to spend on two other items. The pickers as a group judge whether each one's targeted piece (the jewelry) met the criteria. If a picker's item doesn't meet the criteria, he/she forfeits $50 to each other picker.

Then they ship the items to an auction house in another area.

It was interesting. Only one picker made money. The auction was tough -- in Hollywood. One picker got skunked on what she thought was a mid-century coffee table but it turned out to be late century. The best piece of the night was a small vase that was mixed metal and beautifully crafted, from Japan. I knew nothing about Japanese mixed metal items prior to tonight!

Anyone else see it?
