saw about 10 mins of it at the gym one day.... they were looking in some old guys barn.... left him sitting out there for over an hr and pissed him off. He wouldn't sell them anything. I'll have to check it out more another time

Only thing i hate about this show is that it's slightly mis-leading. They always evaluate their "picks" by contrasting what they paid for the item(s), compared to what it is VALUED at. Well...if we are too assume they get "value" from them...that is all fine...but odds are they aren't...so they likely aren't making as much on them as they lead us to believe...

However, after going on for a full 2 minutes about this to my gf, she said to me, "yeah, but they get paid to be on the show to asshole". Touche. Touche.

[THE PROFIT]

some things they show the "value" some they show what they actually sold it for. A little misleading but they dont sell everything quickly. There's a niche market for some of the stuff, you may have to sit on it a little while but well worth it when you find that certain buyer or market. Some of my family have an antique business. Interesting stuff.

I used to restore old Mustangs and was good friends with a guy who did it professionally. We would ride around like that all over the east coast looking for old Ford parts in peoples barns. Amazing the things you will find.
