This week on MARKET WARRIORS, our pickers (Miller, John, Bob and Kevin) are in the city of brotherly love, and working in close quarters at the 60-vendor Phila Flea Market. Working within their fixed budgets, the challenge is to find costume jewelry — with an eye toward selling their finds for profit at auction. Notable picks include a set by the French jeweler Marcel Boucher and additional items such as a Playboy™ ice bucket and a Japanese mixed metal vase. It becomes clear whose strategy is working best when the items are auctioned at A.N. Abell Auction Company in Los Angeles.
