You seriously think those American Pickers are getting rich?
On some days, they barely make expenses.


They're coming to my town, a friend has been recruited to help steer them
toward some interesting collectors. Yeah, while maybe they used to just
drive around cold, these days it appears they try to get things set up in
advance...

Might get a chance to meet them, be interesting to see what they're like
in real life. Just so long as they don't show up at my place and try any
picking... lol.

I'm sure they are making money, and now there is a line of goods available.
How long will it be hot? I see that Deadliest Catch guys are advertising on
Geico. At least they have moved on from that f'ing gecko thing.

The pickers are a couple of regular guys, and that comes through in their
show. The slice of Americana also comes through. But they do drive a
Mercedes all over the country, have a warehouse and overhead, have an
employee, and they both have to clear about ten thousand a month to live a
reasonable lifestyle.

Try doing that in side work.
