Ep 7. Down to the Penny

Down to the Penny is the seventh episode of the first season of the hit HGTV show, Flea Market Flip. This episode follows two teams of expert flea market flippers as they search for hidden gems and transform them into high-end treasures to sell for profit.

In the beginning of the episode, host Lara Spencer introduces the two teams of contestants: Kita and Kara, two best friends from New York City, and Tim and Christina, a married couple from Philadelphia. Each team is given a budget of $500 to shop for items at a flea market. Their goal is to find items that they can potentially transform and sell for a profit. The teams have a limited amount of time to shop and must think creatively in order to find unique and valuable items.

After every team has completed their shopping spree, they each return to the Flea Market Flip workshop where they have a limited amount of time to transform their items. In this episode, Kita and Kara focus on turning vintage bird cages into high-end light fixtures. They also transform a rustic wooden trunk into a stylish coffee table. Tim and Christina, on the other hand, decide to refurbish a vintage piano, turning it into a statement piece for any room. They also transform a set of old metal lockers into a stylish storage unit.

After both teams have finished their transformations, they head to the Brooklyn Flea Market to sell their items. The team that makes the most profit wins the competition and a cash prize. The Brooklyn Flea Market is known for its trendy and innovative style, so competition is fierce. Both teams must use their marketing skills to stand out in the crowd and convince potential buyers to purchase their items.

In the end, the team that makes the most profit is declared the winner of the competition. This episode of Flea Market Flip is not only entertaining, but also informative and inspirational for viewers who enjoy DIY projects and upcycling. The show is a great source of inspiration for those who want to transform old or outdated items into valuable treasures. It's also a great way to discover unique and trendy home decor ideas on a budget.
