Flea Market Flip Season 2 Episode 3 Prohibition and Pop Stars

In season 2, episode 3 of Flea Market Flip, titled "Prohibition and Pop Stars," hosts Lara Spencer and Jay Blades guide two teams of contestants through the ultimate flea market competition. The teams are tasked with finding and refurbishing unique and antique items that they can flip for a profit. This episode features items relating to Prohibition-era and pop culture.

First, the teams scour the market in search of their items. One team chooses a vintage suitcase that they plan to turn into a bar cart, while the other team selects a set of old phone booths that they aim to turn into a unique seating area. Both teams also pick up additional items, including vintage radios, a record player, an antique mirror, and an old sideboard.

Once the teams have found their items, they head back to their workshops to begin working on their projects. The team that chose the suitcase begins by sanding and painting it, then they add wheels and shelves to create a functional bar cart. They also refurbish the vintage radio and record player to complement the bar cart's Prohibition-era aesthetic.

Meanwhile, the team that chose the phone booths starts by cleaning them and adding a fresh coat of paint. They then remove the telephone components and design a custom cushion to create seating inside the booths. They also refurbish the antique mirror and sideboard to match the phone booths' pop culture theme.

As the teams work on their projects, they face various challenges, including broken tools and unexpected design hiccups. However, they push through and eventually finish their pieces in time for the flea market.

At the market, both teams showcase their refurbished items and prepare to sell them to potential buyers. The team with the bar cart adds vintage liquor bottles and glasses to complete their Prohibition-era theme, while the team with the phone booths styles their seating area with throw pillows and blankets.

The buyers arrive and begin to browse the teams' creations. The team with the bar cart quickly gains interest from buyers, who appreciate its unique design and functional use. The team with the phone booths also garners attention, as buyers appreciate its cozy seating area that doubles as a statement piece.

In the end, the teams sell their items, and the profits are tallied up to determine the winner. The winning team gets to keep their profit and receives a cash prize, while the losing team must forfeit their profit.

Overall, this episode showcases the creativity and ingenuity required to successfully flip flea market items. With unique Prohibition-era and pop culture themes, the teams are able to create one-of-a-kind pieces that both impress and sell to buyers.
