Ep 3. Off to the Races

Off to the Races is the third episode of the eighth season of Flea Market Flip. In this episode, two teams of expert flippers are given a budget of $500 to shop for items at a flea market in hopes of turning them into profitable pieces. The teams then have one day to transform their finds into marketable items to sell at another flea market for a chance to earn a profit.

The teams are comprised of best friends Versace and Magenta, and husband and wife duo, Joe and Mishelle. Versace and Magenta are looking to create a high-end horse racing-themed bar cart, while Joe and Mishelle plan to build a race-themed bench with storage.

The teams scour the flea market for items that fit their themes and budgets. Versace and Magenta find a wooden whiskey barrel and vintage horse racing prints, while Joe and Mishelle score an old dresser and metal horse figurines. The two teams then get to work, transforming their items with the help of tools and materials provided by the show.

Versace and Magenta run into some challenges with their bar cart, struggling to find a way to attach the wheels securely and running into issues with the stain they chose for the wood. Meanwhile, Joe and Mishelle seem to be ahead of the game, easily attaching the horse figurines to the bench and repainting the dresser in a sleek and modern style.

As time ticks away, the teams race to finish their projects before the deadline. Joe and Mishelle complete their bench with ample storage and a stylish horse racing design, while Versace and Magenta finally attach their wheels and add some final touches to their bar cart.

At the final flea market, the teams showcase their transformed items to potential buyers. Joe and Mishelle’s bench proves to be a popular choice among customers, with its functionality and unique design. Versace and Magenta struggle to gain interest in their high-end bar cart, though their attention to detail and craftsmanship don’t go unnoticed.

In the end, it’s anyone’s game as the two teams wait to hear the final profit margin on their items. Who will come out on top and be crowned the winner of Off to the Races?
