Sorry Hanno, not all Canadians have history as their goal. The show is "reality TV" which really just means, joking and giving ordinary people a chance to see themselves on national television. The main characters travel around, talking to people about their old junk and then offering them very low prices. The inside story for viewers is the buyers put a resale value on each item, and how much profit margin they made. The other interest is of course the history and tales the buyers and sellers exchange. Most of the time the bargaining is for pride, because the sellers have no idea what their old whatever will sell for on the antique market.
