Most of the show is staged, with crew members and family acting as buyers and sellers. On one occassion, the 'buyer' was someone with a very unusual forename. When the credits rolled, there was someone with the same unusual forename acting as assistant sound engineer! The real hero is Paul Brackley who organsises and advises on pretty much everything behind the scenes. He has a UK ebay account where he disposes of much of the useable stuff that was swapped out. Some of the cars are also sold on quietly by Brackley.
Having said that, it's an entertaining show even if the costs have to be taken with a pinch of salt and it does inspire you to think "I could do that!". One of the better shows on TV.
