‘I can’t believe how they screw people on that show.’

They are actually very fair with the people who come into their store.

Remember that most retail markup is 400%. That is why a GP of 50% can be had during a 50% off sale. In most instances they are offering about 50% of what they believe they can get for the item. In the meantime they have to hold the item. Fix it and sit on it in a retail environment until they can sell it. They have alot of over head.

They also call in several experts in order to find out what an item is worth if they do not know.

As a side note. I can not say for the others but Rick is definitely Republican. He has been on Mark Levin in the past.

Good to hear that Rick at least is a ‘pubbie.

If he votes conservative, I like him a little better, but I absolutely HATE the way he talks to the camera, and says, “If this is real it could be PRICELESS. I really want this.” And then he talks to the seller and says, “This is really in crummy shape. I’ll never be able to sell it.”

If I were a customer and saw what he said behind my back I’d be PISSED. But then again, I’m not stupid enough to sell him anything.

He's one of the few people on TV who is proudly and unashamedly Capitalist. I heard him on Mark Levin and enjoyed the segment.
