I don't see the harm in what they do at all. Most of the people just seem like they have collected a lot of junk and can turn it into cash, when they stop by.

Jewelry stores mark up their merchandise at least 300 percent. I honestly think the pickers guys overpay a lot for what they get.

You have to remember, they do this for a living. They have to cover all their overhead, so they have to buy wholesale.

If you think they are getting rich, take a look at what their bids are going for on ebay. That clown gumball machine they paid $150 for is now at bid for $216. That's not robbing anyone blind.

If the people that have all of that stuff cared about it, they should do their research and try to sell it themselves. I think these guys have a lot of initiative and are pretty fair. Do they make out once in a while, sure, but that is just business.

I personally would not pay much for many things that they bought. To me it looks like junk, but all people like different things.

A lot of what they get might be rare, but some is so specialized that it probably takes them a long time to sell it. I would agree that they run on a shoestring, but they seem to enjoy it and it's interesting TV.

As to questioning the morality of the show, I think that's a bit over the top. If you feel that way, ask yourself this, are you telling me that if you bought an item cheaply, paying maybe $10 for it at a yard sale, that you wouldn't enjoy selling it online for $100?

Just my thoughts,
