Secret Dealers Season 2 Episode 2 Episode 2

Secret Dealers is a British television series that premiered in 2010, and the second season aired in 2011. The show features antique experts and dealers who buy and sell various historical items. The series' second season had 20 episodes, and here we will delve into the second episode.

The episode starts with three secret dealers arriving at an auction in Salisbury. They are given a budget of £750 each and aim to find items that can be sold for a profit. The dealers are competitors and arrive at the auction house with very different strategies.

The first dealer, Wendy, is a collector of 18th-century silverware and plans to focus on purchasing silverware at the auction. The second dealer, David, plans to purchase pieces with history, while the third dealer, Alison, is keen on finding quirky and unique items such as taxidermy.

The auctioneer starts the auctioning process, and the dealers are quick to place their bids. Wendy is successful in purchasing a beautiful silver coffee pot, while David wins a set of army medals. Alison, who seems to be having a bit of a slow start, eventually wins a taxidermy hare.

The following day, the dealers head to a dealer's showroom where they meet with presenter Simon O'Brien. Simon gives them their first challenge, which is to try and sell the items they purchased at the auction for the highest price.

Wendy, who bought the silver coffee pot, takes it to a jewelry expert who inspects and values the pot at £1,200. She is thrilled with the valuation but decides not to sell the pot immediately. David takes his army medals to an auction house to have them valued and is told they have a value of £700. From this, he may only make a small profit after auction fees and must decide if he wants to sell them or not.

Alison takes her taxidermy hare to a vintage shop owner and is given a value of £150. She is not very happy with the low valuation and is quite disheartened as she was hoping to make a substantial profit.

The next challenge is to make a profit at the flea market. Each dealer is given a budget of £100 to spend on items they think they can sell for a profit. Wendy opts to buy some antique books, David chooses some vintage postcards, and Alison goes for a quirky vintage enamel advertising sign.

At the flea market, the dealers set up their stalls and start selling their items. Wendy has trouble selling her antique books and realizes that it's not as easy as it looks. David has more success with his postcards and makes some good sales. Alison's unusual enamel sign catches the eye of some customers, and she manages to sell it for a decent profit.

The final challenge involves the dealers bringing all their items out to a warehouse where they meet with the host. The dealers present all their items and explain how much they paid for them and how much they were valued for. Wendy's coffee pot is valued at £1,200, David's medals at £700, and Alison's hare at £150. The dealers then reveal how much profit they made at the flea market.

Wendy made a profit of £80, David made a profit of £126, and Alison made a profit of £50. The host then reveals the overall winner of the episode, who is the dealer who made the most profit. After tallying the numbers, it turns out that the winner is…(we won't spoil it for you!)
