History Channel's "American Pickers" - Anyone Hooked?

[Mikey]

Antiques Roadshow puts me in a coma...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

That was a good show back in the early 80's when there was nothing else like it on.

Today it's CRAZY-BORING

I'd rather watch New Yankee Workshop

I like Yankee Workshop too..the only thing...he really doesn't teach you anything...he just shows off...knowing damn well you can even remotely approach his master craftsmanship...

Oh that car

Even I knew it was a heap and not worth what they paid.

Could sell it to a customizer to turn it into a rod, but as it is I don't think they could get more than about $800 for it --- if they're lucky.

I like the Pickers show but I'm thinking they're working themselves into a corner here. I mean, after awhile, people should figure out that these guys are flipping their stuff for a lot more thn they are paying. I'm sure there are a lot of folks who just want the stuff gone, but most of the sellers I've seen so far they have to talk into parting with the stuff. And yeah, they just keeping buying rusty bikes. I'd like to see them get something different.

Actually, most of the stuff they buy shows estimated value, not actual value that it was sold.

I'd be interested in finding out how much money they are actually making on this junk. I just couldn't imagine driving hours and hours only to find a few things and make a couple of hundred bucks.

I don't know I spend 40 hours a week in artificial light staring at this screen and 3 half walls for a few hundred bucks a week
their job sure sounds like more fun

Biggest problem is their job is feast or famine.

Unless your wife was working and made enough money to cover you during bad weeks/months you could never raise a family on what they're doing.

The paycheck is just to unpredictable.
