Ep 1. A Funky Good Flip!

In the season 12 premiere of Flea Market Flip, entitled "A Funky Good Flip!," husband and wife team, Ashley and Michael, go head-to-head against best friends, Lara and Mara, in a furniture flipping competition.

The teams have a budget of $500 to spend at the Brimfield Antique Show in Massachusetts. They must use their keen eye for design and bartering skills to find unique and valuable pieces, which they will then restore and repurpose in just one day. The team with the highest profit margin at the end of the competition will take home $5,000.

As the teams search for items at the flea market, Ashley and Michael quickly come across a vintage jukebox, which they believe will sell for a high profit. They also stumble upon a rusty metal cart that Ashley envisions could become a trendy bar cart. The couple is feeling confident in their finds, but Lara and Mara are not far behind.

Lara and Mara find a pair of mid-century modern chairs that they believe could be worth a fortune. They also snatch up an old wooden trunk, which they plan to transform into a bench. The women are excited about their finds and feel like they have a good chance at winning the competition.

Back in the workshop, both teams get to work restoring their finds. Ashley and Michael struggle with fixing the jukebox and end up having to hire a specialist to help them. Meanwhile, Lara and Mara are making great progress on their mid-century modern chairs and bench.

As time ticks by, the pressure mounts, and the teams race to complete their projects before the deadline. When the buzzer sounds, the couples load up their reinvented pieces and head to the Brooklyn Flea Market to sell their wares.

The competition is fierce, with both teams vying for the attention of potential buyers and hoping to make the most sales. Ashley and Michael's vintage jukebox ends up being a huge hit with retro-loving shoppers, but will it be enough to secure them the victory? Lara and Mara's mid-century modern chairs also attract a lot of attention, and a bidding war breaks out.

In the end, it comes down to the wire as both teams wait to hear the final tally of their profits. Who will come out on top and take home the $5,000 prize? You'll have to tune in to find out in the thrilling season 12 premiere of Flea Market Flip!
