all these 2 fruits do is drive across the country ripping people off, its really kind of sad.

[brxbmbers42]

[Landscaper]

Those cheap ***** going around trying to rip old people off who dont know what they have...Fcking idiots

the short fat bearded one looks like he should be an auctioneer

[brxbmbers42]

it goes both ways. sometimes the people want outrageous cash for ,their shit.

[blackbeSSt]

how are they ripping people off when they agree to a price . those people need to do more research if you ask me before letting something go.

[Dutch]

Their shop, or at least the town it's in, is about 20 minutes from where I live. They were trying to sell their autographs at a recent motorcycle swap meet. The tall guy is fuking annoying.

[TWEETS]

A lot of times they offer people more than what they want, i don't know if thats just to look good for TV or to keep a conscience.

[Stinger]

Haha yeah, I like Pawn Stars, too.

[Doug]

I don't think the pickers are ripoff artists. Lots of overhead of involved in driving around.

[McBa1n]

At least they are up front about "we have to resell your crap". I like that.
It's not like some Nigerian banking scam... Although those sound totally legit.

I enjoy the show quite a bit. Could care less if they flip a profit or not - it's just awesome the crap they find, sometimes.

[secretstash]

yea why would u say they rip people off.. most of the hoarders they buy the shit off of will die with 10K items in their garages and barns.. atleast they offer them something.... shiot

[BRAVES1985]

just saw it for the first time its alright

[Boscoe]

yeah.... seems like the people selling the crap make out pretty well considering.

[dwang0725]

One man's junk is another man's treasure.

[THE PROFIT]

they arent ripping anyone off. Something is worth as much as someone is willing to pay you for it now. I havent seen them steal anything

[spankie]

-400 they have done some gay stuff together in their van.

[Smoke]

They can't just buy everything at face value or they'd be out of business.. They do occasionally rip people off though.

[StraitShooter]

I have found some of these new shows like this and pawn stars very educational at times

[pavyracer]

Something doesn't add up. They drive 1000 miles round trip in a diesel van spending $4.50 or more per gallon on gas and buy 3 items to make a $100 profit.

Hello Pavy

They prob make a couple dollars off the show too?

Pretty cool seeing stuff like the old carny with all the old rides rotting away on his land

those rides have a million stories behind them

[bostonbruins]

The skinny guy is a fukkin dope , acts like he's cool but you can tell he's a loser

[excel]

The fuks should be charged with deceiving the elderly.

I read an article awhile back, Frank had his own resale shop in the town I live in, Davenport, IA. He was somewhat friendly with the Mike guy from going to the same Jr. High, Mike had been doing local picking, he came to Frank and said he had an idea for a tv show, they drove around and filmed themselves and sold the idea to the tv channel.

My girlfriend teaches sign language to deaf kids, she has taken them to their shop in LeClaire, IA. for field trip more than once, When you go to their shop nothing is for sale, except for the tv show t-shirts and bullshit. The only person in there is a blonde chick you never see on the show.

The show is where they make their money.

[19th Hole]

I see American pickers everyday
in the car next to me at stoplights.

[falconticket]

Should be called "American Packers"

I figured they made their money from the show because if you drive through 5 states to pick up a rusty sign and sell it for a $100 profit someone has to be paying all your overhead expenses.

[VegasInsider]

I like the show, but I have a funny feeling these two are keeping each other warm on the road.

[spurginobili]

I watched the first few shows, but got bored with it. I did see a good episode recently where they were asked by William Shatner to help he and his wife find stuff for their ranch house.

[ryanspeer2001]

Not a huge fan of this show but its not bad. Has some fun moments.

[StraitShooter]

Too bad the fat tatooed chick aint hot at all..no eye candy on show but I have enjoyed more than one episode

[mvp123]

i like the show sometimes it aint that bad

they came to my hometown in that episode to get some shit for shatner, well that one & in my area in the episode after. You would have thought the fukin president was coming. Stupid shit!!!

They don't show each and every purchase. They just show the interesting ones.

It's kind of like the same principle for poker. They don't show every hand. Just the interesting ones.

It would be quite boring showing all the ins and outs of buying crap.
