Ep 10. Flipsters Vs. Creative Cousins

In season 12 episode 10 of Flea Market Flip, titled "Flipsters Vs. Creative Cousins," two teams face off in a competition to transform items they find at the flea market into unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that they can then flip for a profit. The two teams are the "Flipsters," made up of two married partners and professional flippers who have a keen eye for finding valuable pieces at the flea market, and the "Creative Cousins," made up of two close family members who are more focused on creating custom pieces from scratch.

The competition begins with both teams scouring the flea market for items they think they can transform into something special. The Flipsters start off strong, quickly finding a vintage record player that they plan to strip down and turn into a modern bar cart. The Creative Cousins, on the other hand, struggle to find a piece that speaks to them, spending more time browsing and brainstorming ideas than actually making any purchases.

As the day wears on, both teams start to find more items to work with. The Flipsters pick up a set of old wooden chairs that they plan to turn into chic dining room seating, while the Creative Cousins find a vintage trunk that they plan to turn into a statement piece coffee table for a modern living room.

Once they have their items in hand, both teams head back to their workshops to get to work. The Flipsters start by stripping down their record player and repainting it a sleek black color. They then add custom shelves and a bottle opener to turn it into a functional bar cart. The Creative Cousins, meanwhile, get to work on their trunk, sanding it down and adding a custom design painted in bold, bright colors.

As the teams work, they begin to run into some unexpected challenges. The Flipsters struggle to get their record player to sit level on the custom cart they've built, while the Creative Cousins realize that the legs they planned to add to their trunk don't fit properly. Both teams are forced to improvise and come up with new solutions to keep their projects on track.

After an intense day of work, both teams finally finish their pieces and head back to the flea market to present them to the judges. The Flipsters unveil their modern bar cart, complete with custom shelves and sleek black paint job. The judges are impressed with the transformation, noting that the piece would make a great addition to a modern home. The Creative Cousins follow suit, presenting their statement piece coffee table with a custom painted design. The judges are equally impressed, praising the creativity and boldness of the design.

In the end, it's a close call, but the judges ultimately declare the Flipsters the winners of the competition. The team celebrates their victory, happy to have successfully transformed their flea market find into a high-end, functional piece that they can now sell for a profit. The Creative Cousins are disappointed to have lost, but proud of the work they put into their piece and excited to continue honing their skills.
