I watch real picker shows on YouTube. Buy a Tupperware lid at a yard sale for fifty cents, sell it on eBay for $9.99. You just have to know which ones to buy.

My best "pick" was buying a first edition "Dune Encyclopedia" hardback for $1 at a flea market. I was looking forward to maybe selling it for at least $15. What I didn't know is that author Frank Herbert after initially approving the encyclopedia later disapproved of it so only limited # of copies were printed.

Oh, and a week later I sold it on eBay for..... $202.50.

p.s. I actually made an additional $100 from that sale because there was a very funny back story about the packing that I sold to a magazine for $100.

Newsflash to all FReepers!!!

Reality TV is scripted.

But NOT "Amish Mafia." That was the one reality show on TV that was completely AUTHENTIC!

Sorry, I flipped the names. You are correct about the revised possible motive. Interesting enough, Frank (the short one) had a girl friend on a couple of shows. I guess it never worked out.

I did too when I first saw the advertisements. My wife stumbled across it by accident one night while flipping channels. Next week we watched it.

The show should be called "American Gypers". It is a show about how scumball city slickers cheat clueless farmers out of valuable antiques and memorabilia. Ha ha. Real funny, getting over on an old ladies.

That’s why I quit watching.

Shameful.

Mike was and always has been the primary personality on the show. Frank was just a friend and useful sidekick. He can come up with no banter by bringing others in on trips with him.

“Lol. You don’t enjoy the former roller derby queen?”

We watched Roller Derby on TV when we were kids in the 50s and early 60s, but seldom after that. I never knew that Danielle from American Pickers had been part of it at one time.

My dad was always cheering for Ralphie Valladeres and his team, the Thunderbirds. I think Danielle was in the sport long after that.

Pickers and Pawn Stars work in history stories with the items on the show. That’s how History attempts to make it compatible with the theme of the channel.

I read that he’d had a serious back operation and also has a real bad case of Crohn’s Disease.

If you say so. It must be very fleeting because I don’t remember such attempts. It doesn’t really matter since the History Channel is pretty devoid of history anyway. Even when they claim to do a history based show they don’t, e.g. Vikings.

I disagree. They usually go into a hoarders junk pile, find something and give the person money for it. That old dude was never going to go into that pile, and his kids probably would have hauled it to the dump when they kicked the bucket. Selling it for more than they paid is capitalism. Or do you think the old dude was going to be able to market that piece on ebay

Maybe Mike is trying to kick off the second higher earner to reduce the show’s budget.

He probably is paying alimony and needs the $$$.

Thanks for that.

I always suspected reality tv was lucrative for the shows actors

I try to avoid “Pecksniffian Perfidious Albion,” but you do you.

Never seen antique dental tools on there I bet. ;-)
