Pete i know what your saying but it seems they make a posted 75 to 100% profit. thats on what they sell or want us to see. imagine how much inventory they hold for years. and how much they buy just for their own obsessions. the hold on part i really understand.

Larry, I've got a feeling that the shots of them driving around in the white van are just for the show. I'd say in reality they are riding in the nice van while the "grunts" are driving the white van the distances! I happen to like the show but my wife doesn't. She thinks they're out screwing everyone with the prices they pay for the "picks" and then resell at a pretty decent profit. |

Just like the Orange county chopper boys...they did 200 million in t-shirt and hat sales...great in the beggining, but a sell out in the end. same with Jesse James,
I watched the pickers last night and could see they were paying a touch to much for things. I guess there is a point when it goes from a reality show to just a plain TV show. why do i always see the darkside of things? |

They put him up in a glider last week, he'd make a good crash test dummy. Don't think he's good for too much else!  About as useless as S&S aqua loggers!!! That one kills me, the guy even screams at his kid while he's underwater. I actually feel bad for that guy because he tries so hard but he's got to be a few cards short.
I don't think the pickers are getting rich but that pawn shop sure does some business. Have fun tomorrow Marty! |

Borgward Isabella...thats a name you don't hear every day. I had to look it up.
Back to Pawn Stars...ever notice how its Chumley's job to test fire any vintage fire arm that hasn't been fired in a hundred years? Hollywood: The bald headed guy is actully pretty funny. He gets a kick out of just about everything. Things must be going pretty well for the Pickers if they've upgraded their plain white van for that vehicle! |

Charlie has 3 buildings and his parents house that is full of antiques.His parents brought a lot of stuff back from England and also Charlie's dad was a D-Day Soldier- he's got all kinds of guns and swords! Eric, send me an e-mail so I can send you some pics on that car. It's a Borgward Isabella Station Wagon. Got knobs on the door panel for the wing windows. |

I watched Pawn Stars once, the old man was cool, as were the younger ones, but the bald headed guy came off as a douche to me.
The Pickers show was cool but I don't know anything about antiques. |

Pickers and Pawn Stars. If I'm channel surfing and hit either of those shows, it's all over, I'm locked in. Last week on Pawn Stars, Chumley was cleaning the warehouse. They found a bronze 14" Erte' statue that was pawned for $200. The old man said he took it in two years prior. It was valued at $4000-$7000. The weird thing was, the statue looked familiar. I then realized that my mom has the same statue. There were 500 of them made.

My friend, Charlie, just came in the shop(CarQuest) to get a serpentine belt and I asked what the total was- He kinda grinned, I said over $1500 and he said yes. He told me another surprise-----
They're coming back Tuesday!!! As he went out the door he raised 2 fingers! |

The last pic,you'll see some Bicylces,with a motor on it, that they said was 'Killer' in the interview. No home runs they said but a 2nd visit was in store. They picked alot. I'll try and get a total from him and let ya'll know.
No I never got on 'their' camerea, but The History Channel was panning around at times and may have gotten me in there. I'll try and let ya'll know about the episode airing. Boy what a day! |

ha, good for you, Marty...I watch every episode,btw, they should of brought the chick along....shes not to bad, maybe they would trade something for her lol, I watch the pawn guys to and sit and wonder about those guys, A guy will bring in a 1757 gun from that era, you know he'll let it loose for 500 bucks and they bring in an expert who says its worth 15k and then they will buy it for 10k, I dont get that part....you chisel it from the guy first then bring the expert in later....

Your famous Marty! thats something. I liked the episode with the amusement park car ride. I come from a long line of "carnies",just several years ago my Dad finally sold his roller coaster.Most old amusement rides are very hard to get rid of.I agree with Joel,those are my favorite shows too.

Well I had to shoot them an email since I'll be in the area in May. Told them about the web picking vultures on CCF and the great community here. Within 5 min Mike Wolfe sends me a message back. Very cool guys indeed! We'll have to get them to an event this year and show em a good time...CCF style! |

Marty....thats is AWESOME!! I recorded the series on my DVR after catching an episode one day. Came back Monday and there were 6 of em! I stayed up till 2 watching...I'm hooked!!!
I think I'll have to stop by their shop sometime since they're in Iowa. Maybe we can get them to deliver your flag staff to the Midwest reunion this year and do a feature on Correct Craft Fan!? |
