Got a really nice success from the stars of my favorite show on the History Channel today, the American Pickers! (Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and Danielle Colby-Cushman). Great show, they're antique dealers and they go around to people's house and properties to dig up what they have. I sent them three photos and Mike and Frank signed all three and Danielle signed the one she was on. Thanks guys!

Actually they are crooks that go around and buy antiques off old people that don't know an items real value and then sell it for 2-3 times as much most of the time.

Well, we all have a right to our own opinion!

actually if people werent stupid and knew what they were selling wouldnt be any problems

There have been some episodes where they donate stuff and help people out. I have been buying antiques and collectibles for years. You do not make money if you pay exactly what the item is worth. They also have a lot of overhead. Two stores, employees, gas, and vehicle upkeep. I see nothing wrong with what they do. I have made a lot of money in the past buying stuff and selling it for a profit. If the seller takes what I pay, there is no guilt to the transaction.

from what I see from the show these guys pay people good money for junk people have laying around in their yards,,most of what they buy would just rot anyway,,they seem fair to me,,the show that is a rip off is pawn stars,,these guy really rip people off!
