The show's format featured two individuals, often antiques experts but sometimes celebrities, who used up to £1,000 of their own money to purchase one or more items. They then attempted to resell the item at a higher price, the difference going to the contestant's charity of choice. Each episode occurred at a different sales venue, such as a car boot sale, fête, or public auction. The contestants were often given rules they had to follow, such as limiting purchases to a certain type of object or purchasing objects within a limited geographic area.
