Talk The MARKET WARRIORS Talk

Pick up some picker lingo before your next antiques adventure.

In each episode, four pickers travel to different markets across the country to purchase items with a set amount of money, and use their knowledge and skills to see who can make the most profit at auction.

"Antiquing In Greenwich, N.Y." - This week on MARKET WARRIORS, the pickers head up the Hudson River to Greenwich, New York, to the Washington County Antique Fair, where twice a year the fairgrounds are host to more than 200 vendors and thousands of shoppers.

The pickers have a target assignment to bring back a military object, and one person’s change of mind may cost that person the win.

Off-screen host Mark L. Walberg observes some key finds, which include a Victorian birdcage, a WWII water bag and a German pull toy.

The winning picker is determined at Quinn’s Auction Galleries in Falls Church, Virginia, where their chosen items go under the hammer.
