Down East Dickering Season 1: Episode Guide & Ratings

Welcome to Maine and the world of dickering, where everything comes with a price tag. Using a weekly publication, Uncle Henry's, as a guide, our expert dickerers make a good enough living in swapping, buying, and selling, to enjoy life on their own terms. Tony Bennett and his partner, Codfish, turn a hefty profit on vintage auto parts and soda signs. Roland "Yummy" Raubeson and his son Mitchell tackle a bridge-building project. And Clint Rohdin and his future son-in-law Nate trade mechanical skills and hard labor for the perfect demolition derby junker. Just a normal week in Down East Maine! Vintage auto parts and soda signs are featured in the opener of this series following bargain hunters in Maine who buy, sell and trade items for profit.

These dickerers live by a book–a weekly publication in Maine that advertises OPPORTUNITY. To avoid legal hot water, Tony has to unload one of his many vehicles, but can't turn down a deal to buy another. Will he end up in the hole or ahead of the game? Yummy and son Mitchell undertake a dangerous job of removing a heavy, historic bell from a crumbling church tower. Meanwhile, tractor-loving Clint turns an old tractor to its former glory without spending a nickel.

Tony and Codfish buy a school bus from the 1960s; Mitchell must prove his skills.

Inspired by an ad in Uncle Henry's, Tony and Codfish decide to spend their week mining for gemstones, but hitting real pay-dirt is easier said than done. Meanwhile, Owen "Turtle" Mercon and his crew launch a crazy money-making scheme to create their own biker "ride-in" movie theater. All they need is a projector, a screen, and everything else. Meanwhile, Clint takes on a roofing job that promises a huge payout–if he can finish in three days. Whoever said the good life came easy?

Tony comes across an old barn in need of tearing down, but what he really wants is all the beautiful old material it's made of. Can he and Codfish do the job without destroying all the treasures inside? Meanwhile, Bruce convinces Clint to do something that goes against Clint's very nature–attending a public auction. Now it's up to Bruce to prove that these events are not only a good time, but can reap rich rewards. Over in Yummy's neck of the woods, Mitchell vows to make Yummy's upcoming birthday the best (and cast-free) celebration ever.
