American Pickers

[Enabler]

Ive seen this show twice and Im not sure how I feel about it. I know that I hate the guys on the show a whole lot. But not just because they seem like gigantic tools. I also kind of feel like theyre stealing from the elderly or the mentally ill. I know that some of those old crazy bastards would let their junk rot in their yard till they died, but is it right to swoop in on them and essentially rip them off? I guarantee those two a-holes are selling some of that junk for way more than what they say they do on the show. I love when people refuse to sell them jack shit.

Never heard of it.

I thought the same thing. It really seems like they are preying on the elderly.

I saw a little of this. And liked it. Will watch more. Old collectibles are neat the way its done. From country farms and what not.

There is a chance some old coots might have mental issues. Not wanting to go along with what the pullers are after could be a sign.

They do show a price deal . what was paid, what its worth, any profit.

The new show I really like is Pawn Stars.

wish i had the scratch to go around and buy up peoples cool old stuff, some people fall ass backwards into cool stuff and never do anything with it.

I can see how you might feel this way. Many of the people that collect this stuff bought it with cash money,thinking it would be sold in the same way. Maybe like a tax free back up plan for the golden years. Also the thick tattooed chick on the show is hot.

I just saw this show title the other day and was really hoping it was about guitar players.

Apparently it isn't.

Thanks for destroying my hopes, Enabler.

Another reason why the History Channel has gone downhill. Trying to find history there is like finding videos on MTV.

I said PICKER, Earl!

I don't think they are taking advantage of the elderly. Most of these places they go are just full of junk. They are sorting through junk to find something neat. Maybe it's time these old folks got rid of this stuff. And the pickers are not out to completely rip these people off. They just want a good deal.

I tuned in for the same reason. When I didnt see Earl Scruggs I shouldve moved on.
