TV Show Pickers
 

Great show called American Pickers on Monday on the History Channel. Two guys (pickers) in Iowa go out and pick through another mans junk. The stuff they find, and occasionally cars and bikes. A must see for the car guy (us) looking for that needle in a hay stack find.

LOVE this show. Great stuff they find.

Pawn Stars is entertaining as well.

Ya, watching Pawn Stars now.

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

i like the guy in that one episode with the little car ride.
he told that guy from the show his stuff isn't for sale,and just stood there,with that crazy grin on his face.

i think they just wanted to get the hell out of there fast.

I figure it's all staged, or at least reenacted after the fact... I doubt you'd get too many good deals if you showed up with a full camera crew shooting footage from 7 angles while you negotiated a deal. Fun show to watch though.

Joe, I'm shocked! You don't 'believe' Reality TV? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/blush.gif

I stopped in at Pawn Stars last week. They had a gaurd at the door and you had to wait your turn before going in. It looks like any other Pawn shop, bunch of Jewelery and junk. I did see the old man at his desk. I can say I was in there and thats about it.

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

From what my Dad said, it's staged, they look around at stuff, make a deal, and then film it...

No Muncies at Dad's house, antique cars, high wheel bikes, old farm engines and that kind of stuff... Crash

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

Check out Pickers Monday night, my Dad(John Davidson)is on selling a Star high wheel bike... Crash

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

Look forward to it

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

I love pickers and Pawn Stars as well. I just got back from Vegas last night. While I was out there, I stopped at the pawn shop. I have recognized it when the show originally came on TV. My better half and I stopped in and got our pictures with Chum Lee. He looks just as spaced out in real life as he does on TV. Something to add to Facebook.... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

Seems like OCC kind of fizzled out.... Nobody seems to watch those guys anymore.. I always see repeats on TV..

Re: TV Show Pickers
 

Was that the one that they "picked" for 3k and the other bike (1890 Vector) for 800?

Saw it - looked like a lot of neat stuff. They were pretty excited about that bike.
