It's more fun than it looks, think "I spy" mixed with pawn stars and pickers. I enjoyed this game a lot, multiple times.

I mean it's not like this is the best game ever, but if you like the show, and go in with low expectations then it's good. Each character has their own, overblown, personality and that's fun.

The only hidden object game I ever enjoyed...I like that there's a certain amount of strategy involved, and you have to make important decisions about what to buy and how much to sell them for to maximize profit. It's also cool that the characters have something to say about each object you pick up. Good way to pass time when you're watching tv or whatever

This is a deceivingly fun little game. The first time through, I played the way the game guided me. I looked for the hot items and bought them. I didn't really know what I was doing but I still had a good time. The second time through, I played differently. Here are my tips for high scores: Buy the rarest or most expensive stuff you see. Ignore the hot items and buy stuff you can make a profit on. See a motorcycle? Purchase it. Even better if it needs to be restored. See a Spanish doubloon? Snap it up even if the "hot item" is office equipment. So, once you have all your slots filled, go to your store. Restore everything that needs to be restored. Then, if you paid thousands for something and don't know what it's worth, pay $75 for an expert appraisal. Price everything a little high. Sometimes, you'll pay more than something is worth. It happens. In that case, price it high so you can make 1 or 2 hundred. It probably won't sell but don't take low offers. Bear with me. After you're done selling, get rid of ALL of your stock BEFORE closing for the day. How? Auction it off. Often, you'll make way more at auction than you will selling it. Auction everything that didn't sell. Don't bother with repricing stuff. It's a waste of time. Then, go do it again. Soon, you'll be in first place. Have fun. I did.

An interesting variation on the hidden object game with a buying and selling mechanic. If you are looking for a "pure" hidden object game this isn't it, but this will appeal to some people.

It's "Bargain Hunt" / "Flog It" / "Dickinson's Real Deal" in game form. Entertaining enough.

buying and selling stuff without using my real money

Excellent hidden object puzzle that doesn't waste time with an elaborate plot.
