I love the show but sometimes I wonder why they buy some of the things they do. Anyways, I kept laughing when Frank bought that Ford Model A. The car was either a 3 window coupe or a 5 window coupe but either way, it was a COUPE. They kept calling it a Model A "Roadster".

That is because the building is a prop, or a storefront if you want to call it that.    The "business" didn't exist until Mike got the deal to do the show.

I know the car and where it is at.  Wasn't far from my old school.

And yeah, the shop I show in the pictures is just their storefront.

Really, how did these 2 guys get to be so lucky in getting a business with a show. ??

TheAutoArchaeologist

They pitched it for years.  They finally got someone to bite. And they started the company and started driving around.

ACUDANUT

 So, where is the real store or warehouse ?  Could you go visit and buy something ?

TheAutoArchaeologist

All the stuff they really want to sell is at the storefront.  They have a storage place nearby with odds and ends.  But they also wholesale stuff to like Portillos and other places.

You can go to the store I posted above.

It took years of work by Mike Wolfe to get anyone to bite on the idea.   In the beginning, it was just him on the demo tapes.   Well, they couldn't just have him talking to himself, so that is where Frank came from.   Danielle and the building came after Mike got the deal to do the show.   The money is probably not in what they do, or buy, or resell.  It doesn't matter if they pay too much for the wrong car.   The real money is in the deal they have to do the show.       They have to have people to handle the scouting and prepare for the shoots in advance.   There is no such thing as just driving up to some dudes house and asking to look around, LOL.    You have to remember that this is entertainment. 

dads_69

So the real question here which was asked not long ago in another topic, are they gay? I say yep  :smilielol:
Hey, you can hate the game but don't hate the player.

they have mentioned on many shows the a women was easy on the eye.  I could care less if they are, infact if they are gay, it just leaves more women for the rest of us :nana:

I got a report today that the pickers were spotted in

Litchfield, Illinois yesterday.....

Lock up your junk!

Old Moparz

The show is okay, but I can only watch them picking through so much of the same stuff over & over. I'll flip channels & leave it on for a bit, then move onto something else, like Jack La Lane's healthy juicing machine. In the beginning it seemed like they were just flippers taking advantage of people. Then there was one episode where they bought a pair of old, hand painted, carnival banners cheap from a guy trying to restore an old amusement park that was vacant, & then damaged during the restoration by a flood. They sold them for over $10,000, then went back to the guy they bought them from & gave him half to put towards the amusement park & changed my view of them.

Ok, well then they are nice gay guys then? None the less, I'm done watching them, they are boring and overreact way to much when they discover something hidden *supposedly*. Give the tall putz' an old Schwinn bicycle and he'd be ecstatic for a week, lol...........

Just imagine how extra ecstatic he'd be if the old Schwinn has an original, flowered basket mounted on the handle bars.  :lol:

I'd be more interested in seeing some of the places they go to in person just to look around. I love old abandoned buildings & junk.  :2thumbs:

I wouldn't mind them comming in and taking some junk off my hands, but they seem to only cherry pick.  After they left I would still have all my junk and they will be turning a proffit on my treasures.

And they'd do their best to beat you down to giving your stuff away so they could put it on tv and let the whole world know that you were a fool and they were master "pickers".

ACUDANUT

Let's face it. We are all just jealous we can't make a ton of money on TV doing what we love.  I doubt they are gay.  On the other hand, neither of them ever calls home and talk to a wife or girlfriend.  :shruggy:

Both guys has g/f's.  They have mentioned that before on the show.

And the Superbird the Pickers didn't find, someone posted it on their facebook page.
