Picked Off
Weekend pickers go head-to-head in a series of elimination challenges to find items they think will fetch top market value. Four teams begin with $100 each to spend on one item and the clock is ticking. Teams dig through barns and meet interesting characters all in pursuit of the perfect pick. It takes more than knowledge and a good eye to win this competition. Teams will need to be just as strategic as the pro pickers and just as tough at hardcore negotiating if they're going to out-wheel and out-deal their opponents. The pressure is on as they hunt for treasure and race back to the Dealers' Room, where judges Todd and Ethan Merrill put a retail value on each item. The team whose item brings in the lowest appraisal gets picked off and goes home. The remaining teams go on to the next challenge - this time with their profit from the first challenge. In the third and final challenge, the two remaining teams compete for a winner-take-all $10,000 grand prize.
