Explore the World of High-Stakes Buying and Selling in 'Dealers'

Discovery Channel's fascinating new series, Dealers, explores the world of high-stakes buying and selling as ordinary people try to sell just about anything imaginable. From a comic book collection to a Russian fighter plane, sellers present their treasured items for consideration to five of the world's most well respected dealers, each with personal fortunes to spend. 'Dealers' premieres every Wednesday at 9:00 pm starting May 23. Encores every Thursday at midnight (12:00 am) and 8:00 am and Saturday at 6:00 pm.

Each hour-long episode of 'Dealers' gives viewers unprecedented access to a collection of fascinating objects and their personal stories, as each seller pitches the item's value and history to five expert dealers. The team includes international dealer Richard Gauntlett, who specialises in 20th century art, antiques and historic motor cars, and travels all over the world buying eclectic items for his London gallery; Gillian Price, whose antique and vintage boutique selling quirky items in London has earned her an A-list client base; high-end Chinese art and antiques dealer Jenny Pat; pawnbroker Nikolas Robinson, who can spot a fake a mile off; and Scott Diament, an antiques show CEO and pawn business whose high profile and exclusive fairs attract brokers from all over the world.

This five-part series sees a shock bid on a 200 million-year-old plesiosaur fossil; a post-war diamond watch which causes friction between Gillian and Scott; tough negotiations between a dedicated meteorite hunter and Scott over some rare rocks from outer space; and Gillian's criticism of some iconic, vintage costume jewellery made by Coco Chanel puts an important deal in jeopardy. Each dealer uses their wealth of knowledge and expertise to unlock the history and value of a seller's chosen treasures, gambling their own money as they bid against each other to buy the collectibles in the hope of securing the biggest pay-off. Tensions mount as they have no idea who they are about to meet or what will be offered for sale – but if they like what they see, the DEALERS will fight to get it!
