A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This PBS show is a "competition" between four "experts" going to buy from public markets. Then the experts take their finds to an auction to see who gained the most from selling their purchases. Sure there is a lot of quote-unqotes. It sure looks like they overpay a lot of the times. You would think that buying in public means retail prices. Most of the time, they're better off not buying the stuff. So the competition isn't what I watch the show for. The experts seem like fun people. That's the only reason to watch this show. Quite frankly after a few shows, that's not really a good enough reason anymore. It gets repetitive with no real surprises.

A bunch of dealers go to flea markets, etc. looking for things to make a killing on. OK, I get that.But then they put their finds on a plane and take it to an auction house hundreds of miles away, thereby eating up most of the profit. If any.I work as an antiques dealer, and many of the "finds" on this show are stuff I see all the time. The vintage fan the one guy found? They're everywhere, and don't usually command more than $20. You'd be lucky to get $50 retail.The only good thing I can say about Market Warriors is that they got rid of the unbelievably annoying and unfunny Fred Willard.

I have tried to like this show. This should be like what not to do. The fact that the money is seems to be really no object. People go to auctions like the ones on the show to not spend retail prices. When these pickers purchase they are paying retail prices it seems. It seems to me if you want to make a profit (and consider the additional fees) at auction you need to buy at rock bottom wholesale prices by going to house sales/estate sales, yard sales, thrift stores, the swap meets where sellers are unloading storage bin finds are more apt to wheel and deal on pricing. I have found lamps at auction for $5.00 to $35.00 and sold for $45 to $150. Art Deco lamps for $3.00 sold for $150. These antique shows the pickers are shopping at are outdoor retail/resale shop pricing...? If this is suppose to entertaining/educational it is a what not do in the resell market.

When Fred Willard narrated, this show was quite amusing. Mark Wahlberg's narration is a bit too generic for this type of show. It is really a modern re-telling of The Maltese falcon without Sam Spade. You have Miller Gaffney, the southern belle who charms her way through antique dealers. Brigid O'Shaugnessy was also a femme fatale. Wilmer Cook was from New York. Kevin Bruneau is also from the northeast, and mentions sometimes that some dealers are put off by his assertiveness. Bob Richter the designer,has the style of Joel Cairo in that he wants to win but also throws his support to the others. John Bruo, the professor, is the Kasper Gutman of the bunch. besides his physical appearance, his joviality is definitely that of a Kasper Gutman. I can imagine Fred Willard picking up on this metaphor and narrating the show from Sam Spade's viewpoint. Perhaps Wahlberg will do this style for a Halloween episode.i enjoy going to flea markets, and it is nice to discover ones from different cities. I hope that
