Let me guess you watched American Pickers last night? Edit here was the location I found.

I’ve heard of them. Once it awhile you’ll see one show up at a car show or cruise night, but they’re pretty rare. ---

> [@Garick](#): > > haha, watched that last night too and was wondering about it. Same here, never heard anyone talk about it either. Semi-Related Note\* Why dont they tell you on that pickers show what the items REALLY sold for, not just the “estimated value”. It would be better that way. ---

They do have “sold for” sometimes but my guess is they did not sell it in time for the show. Granted they don’t appear to have much space for inventory, so I wonder how many days the average item stays in their inventory. ---

Like on “Pawn Stars” they show some of the items being refurbished (very nicely I might add too) and the cost to get it there. ---
