In season 4 episode 10 of Flea Market Flip, titled "Mus-stache for Cash," two teams of creative contestants are challenged to take flea market finds and transform them into profitable pieces that can be resold for a profit. Hosted by Lara Spencer, the show features two pairs of friends or family who are given $500 and one hour to scour the flea market for items they can repurpose.
The teams then have one day to transform their finds before selling them in a pop-up shop the following day. The team that earns the highest profit from their sales wins a cash prize of $5,000.
In the "Mus-stache for Cash" episode, the teams are tasked with finding items that can be transformed with the help of a mustache theme. Both teams are given the same hour to hunt for items, but each team has a different approach.
The first team, made up of friends Jen and Elena, start their hunt with a specific vision in mind. They want to find items that can be transformed into a mustache-themed bar area, complete with mustache glasses and a bar cart. They find a vintage bar cart, old wooden bar stools, and a collection of mustache glasses.
The second team, consisting of mother and daughter Lisa and Lindsey, take a different approach. They're looking for items that can be transformed into a variety of mustache-themed pieces, including a shower curtain, wall art, and a lamp. They find an assortment of items, including a vintage record player, a metal lamp base, and a wooden frame.
With their finds in hand, both teams set to work in their respective workspaces. They use a variety of tools and techniques, including painting, distressing, and reupholstering, to transform their items into unique mustache-themed pieces.
On the day of the pop-up shop, both teams are excited to see how their items will sell. They've priced their pieces strategically and hope to attract a variety of buyers. The teams meet with potential customers, showcasing their items and explaining the transformations they've made.
As the day progresses, it becomes clear which team has the upper hand. Jen and Elena's mustache-themed bar setup is a big hit, with customers enjoying the novelty of the mustache glasses and the unique bar cart. Meanwhile, Lisa and Lindsey's individual pieces are also selling well, with customers admiring their creativity.
At the end of the day, both teams have made significant sales and it's time to calculate the profits. Lara announces that both teams have done exceptionally well, but only one can be the winner.
The team that ultimately comes out on top is the one with the highest profit margin, taking into account the initial $500 investment. They receive the $5,000 prize and are crowned the champions of "Mus-stache for Cash."
Overall, season 4 episode 10 of Flea Market Flip is an exciting and competitive episode that showcases the creativity of its contestants. Viewers are sure to be entertained by the transformations and impressed by the results.
