American Pickers

This thread is like overhearing a bunch of 60 year old women chatting on the bus.

The difference is "Hoarders" collect worthless junk and garbage....

Much of what you see on AP is valuable collectables.....

Not necessarily. My older brother was a hoarder and he filled his home with expensive telescopes, model trains, and high end stereo equipment. He had a room full of speakers including some Mothertruckers from the Greateful Dead's wall of sound (he lived in the Bay Area). It was a nightmare to go through and we no idea what to do with it all. I would have loved to just sell it all at an auction. The Red Cross amazingly was willing to take a lot of it. They sell the stuff and use the money to run their organization.

it's an okay show, sometimes i think they lowball people on stuff. then at the end when they do the "valued" rundown i wonder what they really get for some of that stuff.

I am trying to decide if that chick on that show if worth doing or not. I think she is but I am not sure. They say the camera adds a few pounds.

Nah, she falls into the "barely do-able" category, even on my small screen tv.

I love the post made by repdept at that site:

Not just no but oh HELL no

You can find more at Google Image, under "danielle american pickers", but it really isn't worth the effort.

I find this show to be both annoying and pretty gay... I love the History channel when there shows with actual historical content - not 2 dudes going through old shit.

My dad would buy property and it was my job to clean it up. Going through piles of old shit brings back bad memories and I never got rich doing it.

To be clear.....

I love the show, but find Mike to be a douche among douches......

No, the chick is NOT hot, nor even luke warm........

Yes, they low-ball people, but no guns or water-boarding are used in purchasing.....

No, they NEVER get the "value" they claim their buys are worth.......


I watch/like the show for the PEOPLE and the collections on the show, and most of the human interest stories behind them.....



Not every show on History Channel has to be about Hitler or dinosaurs.....

Or UFOs. Then again, I never really got over the fact that the Sci-Fi channel stopped running reruns of Dark Shadows and The Invaders.

Otherwise where would we find out about sharks from...?
