HISTORY CHANNEL****FOR SHAME***AMERICAN PICKERS

Am. pickers deliver lots of history info. I am betting young people do not know what half of the things they find are. Most of those people know exactly what their junk is worth and what they ae willing to sell it for. Those of you who think Mike and Frank are "looking down on(sellers)..." well you all are the ones looking down and thinking these sellers do not know what their stuff is worth or what price seems fair to them. Many times Mike and Frank pay more than asked because they know an item is worth more and the seller is unaware of it's true value. Just because people are old. doesn't mean they are stuped. Nostalgia is important to some people and when they get older and are facing an end to their years of collecting, they want thier stuff to go to people who know what it is...not to kids and grandkids who have no reguard for thier lifetime of collecting and will simply dig a hole with a dozer and bury all that "old crap" to make the property visually attractive for the new buyer.
Those of us who were raised in rural America recognize and understand the things people collect and feel an affinity for.
Some of those old people are glad to sell stuff even at a lower than retail price just to have someone appreciate thier collecting efforts and some seem genuinely hungry just to visit with Mike and Frank....wonder how many of them have not seen the kids for ages because when the kids visit it always end up in a disagreement about what should be done with"the collection".
Love pickers! My dad would have lover to explain and discuss some of the oddities he had kept over the years.
Keep bringing those of us who like it more episodes of Pickers and those who do not like it can watch a different channel.

Honestly, I think its great what they're doing. Sure, they may accidentally rip someone off here and there, but a lot of the stuff on there, even THEY don't have any idea what its worth. Its great that they're finding all this old stuff thats so unique and showing it to the rest of the world. Older people that are willing to sell it so cheap obviously have either A. no attachment for it, or B. Don't want it. Shouldn't those items be circulated back into the market where people want them?

I just wish they would show more of the tattooed chick.

Well spoken!

My sentiments exactly.

i think youre being hard on the guys. they give away stuff to museums all the time. for free. the dinosaur bone. gave away. the leather license plate. gave away. the surf board. gave away. they arent thieves. this is real life. you have to make a living some how and for yall to sit here and try and put a cap on a legal way to make money is just ridiculous.

The huge caps in the subject line & the whole premise of this thread screams Troll/Flamer.
This thread should have never made it past the 1st page.
Interestingly when someone has something positive to say it is usually the only comment.

It always amazes me how many people react to stupid & inflammatory statements made by strangers on the internet.
It is like they somehow internalize it.
Meanwhile the Troll/Flamer is giggling & or soaking up all the attention.

There is no base to this thread worth even addressing.

I watch this show and find it interesting at what people collect over the years and the memories they have of what they sell and how they came to obtain them,if you have Never sold anything at Pawn brokers they give you nothing for your stuff and make money i do not hear you screaming thief or shame on you,all you people just complain that you did not get your heirlooms, as usual money is ALL your interested in and you lost out.

I know the show is really phoney, but being a "picker" takes a lot of experience, lots of contacts, knowledge, skill and intuition. The old sign that is worth 5000 and was sold to them for 2000, the original owner in a way DID sell it for 5000 and the "picker" takes a cut for the use of his skills and time. The original owners don't have his skills, they can't sell it for 5000. If they put in a lot of time researching they probably could sell it for 5000, but that is a lot of time of stress and doing things they have never done before and might not be comfortable with. It's the way it works. It's just like how you can represent yourself in court to save the considerable lawyer fees, but you'd be crazy to do it. The picker represents a lifetime of experience. He's a bit of a tosser and I hate his face, but it's true. These people and their farms full of collectable trash simply can't do what the picker does.

If you don't like it then don't watch it. No one is forcing you to watch it. However, you watched it so take responsibility for yourself for watching it and stay out of everyone else's business. Shhhhhh no one cares what you think. If you don't like it thats to bad go to another country and live. FYI: nothing is perfectly fair. You are the problem with the world today trying to tell people how to run there business or how to live their lives. Stay out of people's lives cause apparently you are to emotional. Apparently it's not a bad show with 5 million viewers. Last but not least is this website godlike productions........ Ha ha ha ha good to see the Christians judging the world.... Who needs god to judge...... :)

If you are going to ransack America ditch the Mercedes. Very distasteful. BTW all prepares are not nut cases that believe the poles are going to flip polarity and speak with “strange” accents. One of those “idiots” is an advanced amateur ham radio operator. Are you? Didn’t think so!

These two covetous chosen people of G-d are walking stereotypes.

Wandering chosen people of G-d, moving about the countryside targeting the most vulnerable elderly goy, walking uninvited onto their property,
using guile and deceit to manipulate the elderly into selling them valuables at pennies on the dollar,

when the senile senior citizens resist, the short fat DEFENDER OF ISRAEL becomes aggressive with the old person and starts shouting at them that they wont "cooperate" with him (defrauding them, and DEFENDER OF ISRAELing them out of their possessions).

I really hate these two chosen people of G-d and the one benefit of this show is it presents a daily example of what chosen people of G-d will do when given the chance to DEFENDER OF ISRAEL others. Its not by some random chance that "to DEFENDER OF ISRAEL" is a longstanding euphemism for ripping off the vulnerable or defenceless.

!

dude, are you gullible??
There are a LOT of people who hate these semites for ripping people off, and they need to be seen as 'good' instead of hook-nosed rip off artist scammers.

They dont ''give away'' a single shekel unless there is a TELEVISED CAMERA there to spam it at millions of people.

This is not 'charity', its a cheap way for a corrupt semite scammer ripping off others to fake up some positive publicity for them. As you show, it does work, because some people do not understand that this is a very cheap way for them to try to REHAB their image after bullying a senile senior into selling a one-of antique for 25 dollars.

if it was legal i would hang the little fat fuck( frank) and cheerfully shoot the tall homo( mike) . these two pieces of fuck need to be put in jail , along with the filthy whore named danielle she is a filthy cunt

people people come on all the people have to say is NO!!!! ITS NOT LIKE THEY ARE GIVING THEM $5 FOR A $1000 ITEM AND BESIDES THEY HAVE TO MAKE A LIVING!! DUH!!

these two pieces of fuck need balltied and shot

You guys slamming this show are complete fucktards.

First its a show that is mostly staged.

Also everyone of you needle dick cock suckers have NEVER said to anyone or store to not give you a deal. Stop being god damn morons or just go drink the shit under your kitchen sinks. Fuck.off really

are you all writing from cuba > someone drives around the country and makes a profit on something ,so what ]
what you don't know is half this crap they own forever , the antique and collectables market is deader than dead
most collectors now meet in a graveyard , no one is buying any more unless its nothing
these old fools should be glad they found a couple of suckers that still think its saleable ,
complete jealous losers who sit there welling up with hate , oh he made 5 dollars oh he has a girlfriend why cant i get one
well your dumb lazy, and ugly and your hair is receding and falling out at 29 already thats why
so next time one of these 2 makes 50 dollars profit why dont you shoot yourselves , its so much money

American Pickers rejected at gunpoint lol

holy shit these people dont have to sell anything u duche bags! go away

I don't understand what these unhappy people are talking about. The people on American Pickers are honorable and really don't cheat anybody. The don't steal anything. Every transaction is agreed upon by both parties. What's the difference between them and a car dealer? A car dealer will usually only offer an amount close to the wholesale value for a traded in car. Retail the seller may get an amount much greater. This is the business. No one has to agree to sell if the price does not meet their satisfaction. "COWARD" you sound as if you have made bad deals in the past. You have to do your homework. these people are business men and are doing nothing more than making a living. What is morally wrong is when so called Christian people try to defame others because they disagree with others practices. They always try to justify their actions by casting the first stone. If your slate is clean then you can throw stones if it is not then leave them alone. I for one really enjoy this programing.

ah! the mentalliy of white people!

these people saying they are stealing needs to learn not all the things they buy they make money on they also pay to much for some items they are taking the risk they are not positive what it is really worth they ask a price its the same as taking stuff to a pawn shop

How about every time they bought something and lost money on the deal. They paid someone a crazy price and it was not worth the material it was printed on.

That is a greatvshowand these pepolear not robbed. I have seen them give the people more than they were asking and even o back to the people's houses and give them more money because hey got more for the item than they thought hey would! You pepoleare dreaming! Go back to bed!

Scamming America, One Home At A Time!

You dumb fuckers know that they hardly ever sell the shit right away. Imagine the time it takes to catalog, store, and ship the stuff they buy from these pple.
Also just b/c it's appraised value is double doesn't mean that 1. It's really worth that, 2.it will sell for that. Most the time frank and mike just guess the price.

Fuck me, you pple think these guy go buy something, get in the car, drive 15 mins and sell it for double the value?
