    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

              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.

                        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.
