On Wednesday, we were treated to the return of Salvage Hunters on Quest. The new series opened with star Drew Pritchard and sidekick Tee on an antique buying expedition in Barcelona and the surrounding area.
Beautiful opening the background was stunning and felt like you were watching a travel show but they were there to work from there little car like Drew said to Tee “You won’t get much stock in there” and set about finding items for his shop back in Conway, Wales. He was hoping to buy truly eclectic and colourful Spanish items, and local Catalonian furniture for the shop and his website.
They dropped into a massive and famous flea market and in his element jumping from stall-to-stall digging out what he calls treasures in his search for the quirky. Finding a Spanish desk light, if there is one thing Drew can’t pass by is good lighting, and while doing the deal he was tapped on the shoulder and invited to a shop upstairs full of the said desk lights. Deal done and he walked out with five or six and a lighter wallet.
After Barcelona he and Tee headed into the surrounding area towards the Pyrenees to visit some antique dealers. His first call was to a wily old bloke who was given little away on his prices so Drew paid a bit more than he wanted but there was a profit to be made. His second visit was much more to his liking being ‘trade only’. He managed to fill his boot before returning to the UK happy.
We did not see the Conway home base it was the Drew and Tee show. Does Tee own a pair of long trousers? I am looking forward to seeing the demographics back in Conway after his divorce from wife Rebecca who was a big part of the operation.
