[quote:Dfromlvs@aol.com 1030025:MV85Njg4MzVfMjY2OTYzMDRfN0FGOUQ3Mzg=] I agree these guys are out there robbing older people who don't no the value of some of this stuff. I understand they have to make money but do they really need to offer $50 bucks for a $5000 dollar saddle. Poor old Leland could really use that money. Come on your gonna tell me the mike thought that was a fair price. He new this old guy was not all there. He could barley walk. When there picking from someone who has a huge farm and a lot of property and doesnt really need the money I wouldn't have a problem with it. But to go to a run down house where it's real obvious this old guy could use the money you people are gonna tell me it's ok to do that to our older generation of war heroes. This old guy fought in WWII. Those pickers new the value of that saddle. At least offer a price where your making your 200 or 300% profit but to say $50 bucks for something that's worth thousands is not robbery is crazy. There are thieves plan and simple [/quote]

I can NOT believe that the HISTORY channel would show such a disgrace to our older generation. TO think for one minute this would somehow be cleared to air is appalling. To brag or somehow boast about an unsolicited visit to Leland's farm and the price paid versus the actual value should be illegal. If this would have been my granddad I would have felt robbed of my family heirloom and treasures. The History Channel should immediately cancel this show!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were so looking forward to a new show that was really about hidden treasures in American not thievery we couldn't even finish the show.
These guys are scum bags !!!!! Nice job History Channel way to promote thieves . I would love to meet these guys face to face , and work a deal out with them. If you know what I mean ! And my parents always told me crime doesn't pay, unless you make a show for the History Channel .Way to teach kids its ok to steal from the older generation. History Channel you should make things right pay these people fair price for their stuff, and fire these dirt bags
