953 nut 51,386 #6 Posted December 21, 2018 My wife literally screams at them when they walk by something SHE considers priceless. I have to remind her that it is entertainment, not reality. When they bought the she said they paid too much, must say I agreed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My wife has done the same thing ,but comments are about the dummies paid too much. I have gotten tired of the show. Not as much interesting objects anymore. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 26,442 #8 Posted December 21, 2018 (edited) I've seen them walk past on the show also, for some reason they can't hear you when you yell at the TV. While on a job in Nashville a few years ago I took the opportunity to stop by their store. They don't have the big building that you would be led to believe from the show. The old auto factory was turned into a strip mall and they have a small store in it. Talking to employee's, I found out that they take down everyone else's signs when they film the out side of it. Not much around the area other than the strip mall either. Most things in the store were out of my reach cash wise, about all I could swing was a T-shirt . It was cool to be able to check out the VanDutch motorcycle, wish that it hadn't been so buried with other displays.

I keep telling the wife, "Reality TV" has nothing to do with REALITY, it is just a TV show. That being said, they are better than most of the other crap programming on TV. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lynnmor 6,760 #12 Posted December 21, 2018 I visited their "store" in Iowa and found that nearly all antique items are not for sale, it's just a tourist trap employing teenagers selling imported trinkets. My guess is that they have a shopping list for some clients. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,940 #17 Posted December 21, 2018 I'm sure I've heard them say, on more than one occasion... there just isn't enough margin there for them to make a profit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHNJ701 4,164 #18 Posted December 21, 2018 there entire show is just entertainment/fluff, they have a crew that drives the van out the sites, they have staff locate the properties and all negotiations/purchases are pre negotiated. they then fly out and do the tapings. it's just a scripted show 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm old enough to remember fiddling around with rabbit ear antennas and tinfoil hanging all over them. Of coarse the picture always went out when the game was on the line and a long pass play happening! Always a crappy picture. Plus you had to actually get up off the couch and turn the dial to a different channel with a snowy picture, and adjust the rabbit ears again to try and keep the signal going. The cable concept is definitely a huge improvement to the old days but cost has gone through the roof. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
