Bombay, thanks! I didn't see your post about the Pickers marathon in time but I did come across it! It was good timing for me too because I was sick and just wanted to lay on the couch.

One of my kids mentioned the taking advantage thing...but on one ep of American Pickers, the homeowner said she'd throw in an old mousetrap for free and the taller Picker said no, he was going to give her money for it. One of the two Pickers told a homeowner that they just can't pay retail. I totally understand that.

Pickers and Pawn stores are a business...I'm not sure they take advantage of people really. I think people should realize they won't get much for their stuff. Now with Ebay and especially Craigslist...people can sell their own stuff and get more money.

Anyone see the previews for the show about people buying contents of storage lockers without knowing what is actually in them? It looks good.

I've bought unknown storage units before. It can be a blast going thru evreything. It is also very eye opening. We got boxes of exemployees socail security numbers and personal info once. We have always gotten good units that Ican turn around and make money on but we do know of others who get all used matresses and such.

That does sound like a blast! I went to an garage sale at a storage unit once and it was pretty much people digging through boxes. The man that was having the sale didn't want to rent the unit anymore and had told his wife to clean it out or he would. I got a box of 6 quilt tops for five dollars. I was thrilled.

That is Auction Kings on Discovery, I saw it on Wednesday night. It is pretty good. I was looking through my TV Week for next week and noticed on TLC (Nov 18) there is a new program called Pawn Queens. On Spike there is another one called Auction Hunters. What an explosion. I bet it was all triggered by Pawn Stars.

I see Auction Kings repeats quite a bit on Discovery. Check your listings. Two episodes are on tomorrow.

Interesting discussion. I just signed up for a Netflix online trial and found seasons 1 and 2 of Pawn Stars, which I'd never heard of before. Watched both seasons in a marathon session this weekend and thought it was a great show. I found Rick to be extremely fair in terms of pricing. He's not buying things to keep them, he's buying to resell and he has overhead to cover. Selling to a pawn shop is not the same as selling on the street to the highest bidder. I find the characters likable and the items interesting. Like Antiques Roadshow but more diverse, and I enjoy seeing the restoration projects. Good show.

Can I just say I love the old man on Pawn Stars? He really makes me laugh, especially when he makes Rick look as puerile as Chumley.
