Watch Market Warriors

Market Warriors was a PBS television show that aired in 2012 hosted by Mark L. Walberg, Miller Gaffney, and Bob Richter. It was a reality television show that followed four contestants as they traveled across the United States to find and purchase antiques and collectibles at flea markets and antique shows.

Each episode followed the same format, with the contestants arriving at a new location at the start of the show. They were introduced to the area and given a budget to spend on antiques and collectibles. The contestants then scattered to different markets, looking for items they thought would net them a profit.

The show had a focus on education, with each episode featuring different types of items that the contestants were on the lookout for, such as furniture, toys, or pottery. The contestants were required to analyze each potential purchase to determine its value and authenticity. They had to use their knowledge and experience to find the best possible deals, as they were competing against the other contestants to make the most profit.

Once the contestants had made their purchases, they would return to a central location, where an expert in that episode's featured antiques would appraise their finds. The contestants with the highest-valued items would be declared the episode's winner, with the others being eliminated from the competition.

The contestants were not only competing against each other, but they also had to compete against the clock. Each episode had a time limit, and the contestants had to find and purchase their items within that time frame. This added an extra element of tension to the show, as the contestants scrambled to find the best deals before time ran out.

One particularly unique aspect of Market Warriors was the use of on-screen graphics to display information about the items being appraised. As an appraiser examined an item, the screen would display details about the item's history, value, and other relevant information. This added a layer of educational content to the show, making it much more than just a reality television competition.

Overall, Market Warriors was an enjoyable and informative show that combined the excitement of a reality competition with the educational value of a history or antiques program. The expert appraisers and on-screen graphics added an extra layer of depth and insight, while the contestants' quest for the best deals ensured that there was always tension and excitement, episode after episode. Fans of antiques or reality TV competitions would no doubt enjoy Market Warriors.

Market Warriors is a series that ran for 1 seasons (20 episodes) between July 16, 2012 and on PBS
