As discussed recently in this forum, you need to take the 'reality TV' aspect of that series with many, many grains of salt. They buy and sell 'and make a tidy profit', but only because Edd's labour isn't costed in any way.
Sometimes, as he explains, there's a good couple of weeks of labour in those restorations. Would cost a fortune at his regular professional rates! And the poor 'real world' buyers and sellers can hardly be making 'real world' deals under those TV cameras.
Edd's the real star of the show. Mike just hams up the old Cockney street-seller routine for the cameras...
