Format
On each episode, members of the public bring in collectible and valuable items and attempt to negotiate a sale price in a series of one-on-one meetings with four dealers. Each seller may choose the order in which they will meet the dealers, who are seated in separate rooms and are not allowed to communicate with each other. If a seller is dissatisfied with a dealer's final offer, they may move on to the next room in the chosen sequence; however, doing so voids the offer.Dealers
