Format
Several groups of bargain hunters (Dickerers) search through that week's edition of the Augusta-published Uncle Henry's in order to buy, sell, swap and trade items. Although it is titled Down East Dickering, none of the show is filmed in that part of Maine. For example, Tony and Codfish are based in Bethel;[1] Clint, Bruce and Nate work out of Sangerville;[2] Yummy and Mitch are in Minot; and Speedy and Tinman are in southern Maine.[3]
The show is narrated by Bennett.
