American Pickers-History Channel

Antibac

Recorded this the other night and watched it today. Not sure what to make of it. Anyone else watch it?

I've been watching it a while now. I like it. It's far from the best programme in the world but its very watchable.

Yea, Pawn Stars is very good. Some amazing stuff on it.

I love Pawn Stars, and the restoration show that follows it on a Monday night. American Pickers is really good to pass an hour too though.

Antibac

Have to say love the American restoration show. Some good stuff. Pawn stars quite good to.

Antibac

Yea they get some mad and desperate people!

American Pickers: All they do is travel around the country and take things off mostly old people for little money. The people they take the stuff off normally havnt a clue how much its worth so are getting conned in my opinion. Two hatefull f*£kers.:mad:

they only gave you 5 bucks for that esso sign, didnt they?

you obviously didnt see the ep where they bought some sideshow canvas signs from an closed theme park owner for a few hundred bucks, which they then got appraised and sold for close to ten grand. they returned to the owner and split the profits with him.

and regards pawn stars:

I bet if they wernt on the TV they wouldnt have given a penny back. The tall guy has a face you would love to punch. he looks like his attitude you know the way some people have faces like their personality?

Love all these kinda shows, didn't watch much American Pickers admittedly.

Prefer Pawn Stars (You have a vial of JFK's semen? Hold on, I've a friend who's a specialist in JFK semen ) and Storage Wars. Hardcore Pawn is the most entertaining though IMO just for some of the crazy stuff the customers come out with

American Pickers is an excellent show.

I don't have a huge problem with that. Whatever the 'valuables' are, they are worth nothing to the owners sitting in the attic, and they sell the stuff for what seems a fair price to them (or presumably they wouldn't agree to the deal). That's how trade works.

Antibac

Also how retail works. Shops very often have 50% mark up especially on items like that

I just noticed this is still on? I thought it finished a few years back with a special Q&A type ep filmed in their new building?

On IMDB their the number of seasons and eps and air dates is a bit of a mess...jumps from S8 to S12?

Anybody know when season that special was in, the mother loves this show...
