Format overview
Each episode features Drew Pritchard visiting a number of locations to find collectable stock to resell. The format includes travelling to the locations, the purchase of various items after some haggling on prices, and a product style explanation, then the drive back to his base in Conwy, showing the purchases to his team, the restoration process, and items being photographed for sale. There is a final summary of the deal, and often of the price achieved after an item has been sold.{{Cite web |last=Jones |first=Mari |date=1 September 2018 |title=Drew Pritchard on whether his Conwy shop gamble has paid off |url=https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/salvage-hunter-drew-pritchard-whether-15095026 |website=northwales}}
