Cash & Cari is a reality show on HGTV starring Cari Cucksey, an antiques dealer and designer, who travels around the country helping homeowners sell their unwanted household items for cash. The show premiered in 2011 and ran for three seasons, featuring co-hosts Wilder Weir and Bill Lumbert.

Each episode begins with Cari meeting with the homeowner and touring their house to identify items that can be sold. She then sets up a temporary shop in the house to hold a three-day sale, pricing and organizing the items to attract buyers. Throughout the sale, Cari and her team negotiate with customers, sell items, and tally up the profits. The show also includes interviews with the homeowners, providing background on the items being sold and the reasons why they are parting with them.

Cari is known for her unique sense of style and her ability to turn ordinary items into something special. She often repurposes items, such as turning a ladder into a bookshelf or transforming a suitcase into a coffee table. Her creativity and enthusiasm have earned her a devoted following among antique enthusiasts and DIYers.

Wilder Weir, a former Canadian television host, is Cari's right-hand man on the show. He assists with setup and sales, interacts with customers, and provides comedic relief. Bill Lumbert, an appraiser and collector, joins the team in later seasons, helping Cari identify valuable items and providing expert advice on pricing and selling.

Throughout the show, Cari and her team encounter a variety of challenges, from difficult customers to unexpected weather conditions. They also come across some rare and valuable items, including a Civil War sword, vintage toys, and antique jewelry. Cari's knowledge and expertise in antiques and vintage items often prove invaluable in getting the most out of these unique finds.

One of the show's highlights is Cari's interaction with the homeowners, many of whom are emotionally attached to the items they are selling. Cari handles each situation with empathy and understanding, while also providing practical advice on how to let go of sentimental items and make the most of what they have.

Cash & Cari offers a unique glimpse into the world of antiques and vintage items, and provides valuable tips and tricks for those looking to sell their own unwanted items. The show is entertaining, informative, and showcases Cari's passion for transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary.
