# The format makes me a bit cross.
How can anyone make money buying from a dealer then selling at auction?
HOW DAMN IT?
There must be half a dozen shows on TV using this as a basis.
Grrr.

# because both auctions and dealers have huge profit margins and enjoy being on tv
so when they buy the stuff the dealer lowers their price to appear on tv (advert) like a great and trustworthy person to buy from and then the auctioneer does their best to oversell the item to show what a great auctioneer they are.
And when it's celebs the dealer bends over backwards and auction sells better as the item was touched by someone vaguely known.

# Okay, I see, well in that case, I'm going to dress up as Toyah and buy a wardrobe from Norwich Antiques.
I see well in that case I'm going to dress up as Toyah and buy a wardrobe from Norwich Antiques.Then I'm going to sell it at Christie's and make enough money to buy myself a yacht.
PROFITS AND MONIES HERE I COME!
