I enjoy the show very much ! I agree that most of the things they find would actually go to landfills when the owners die.

I think the best part of the complete story is everything has a value, whether it be for money or memories, preserving the past, when perhaps things were even made a little better...

THis show is really really cool! Mike and Frank are very knowlegeable about antiques! It's neat when they buy signs, oil cans, old toys, and stuff. And all you haters, if you PAY ATTENTION, when they go to the door, they give them a flyer that tells them they want to buy it cheap and sell it for more. THey are in fact doing the opposite of ruining the economy! They are not cheaters that rip off old people either! They're just men that buy and sell stuff to people.

These guys have no ethics at all. One of the recent episodes included the purchase of a nun's cast iron burial marker from Kansas. When appraised for $600 to $700 later their only comment was "cool". Real antique dealers will not trade in cemetery items for obvious reasons. One of the reviewers here commented that the old people they buy from can't take their stuff to the grave, which is true, but apparently with these guys you can't leave it on your grave either. Not the kind of ethics I want my kids to learn.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT................ The only reason I say 10+ is that IF they are not old enough to EVEN want to find something fun/hidden in an old barn or building, they really aren't going to sit for this show. My son and I LOVE this show. But then we BOTH work for an "Auction Service" here in Midwest and love to find treasures.

My son loves this show and I do, too. It's very interesting learning about the history behind some of their finds. I don't think they are ripping off old people. Some of those people are very savvy and won't budge on some items. And, if you think about it, some of the people that sell their items are actually turning a profit from what they paid for their items. Also, they show what the pickers bought the item for and its value, and the profit margin usually isn't all that huge. For example, a lamp they bought for $30 might be worth $100. That doesn't mean that the person selling it would necessarily be able to sell it themselves for $100. These pickers have connections and know how and where to sell their picked items for the most money. That's what they do for a living after all. Whereas, grandma might be able to bring it to the local rummage sale or even put it up on eBay and still get much less than $100 for it. How convenient to have someone come to your house and give you money for items and you have to do no work to refurbish it or list it for sale, or even haul it out to the front yard.

This show is horrific. These poor people aren't having a Yard Sale and offering up their items. These ridiculous men are taking advantage of little elderly, lonely people who have no idea the value of their items and probably just want these idiots to leave their property. These men know what they are finding and should be ashamed of themselves. I hope this show is cancelled and soon!

This show is so contrived it is ridiculous. They contacted a friend of mine to come to his farm to buy some of his stuff. The producers told him that even if he DID sell them anything that he really did not have to commit, that it was just to make the show interesting. He told them to get lost. They buy so much crap that if they were real dealers they would starve. Let's see, they drive to Georgia and pick a farm where they make a $125 profit. Ya, right. Wake up fools, you are wasting your time watching this show and making these 2 guys rich!
