Watching it & the old man that looks like Colonel Sanders wouldn’t sell. Despite the crazy high prices Mike was offering. Geez.....

Was a rerun? What was he trying to buy? This is one of my favorite shows. I’m just a sucker for old things and would try my hand at doing that for a living if I was faced with a career change.

Yes I think it was a rerun. The guy had a lot of automotive related stuff & often had multiples of the same thing. He had a 6 signs the same & Mike offered him $4000 for just 1. And an old air/Tire inflator that he had two of. Mike offered him $10 thousand. The old guy said he didn’t realize his stuff was worth so much yet still wouldn’t sell. I almost think he was leaving that stuff for his son who also was a collector. The son sold some of his stuff.

Yep, I saw that one a couple of times. Kool place!
Whenever they visit some old guy with a bunch of out-buildings LOADED with stuff, it's a good reminder of why it's probably best that I live in a 1-bedroom co-op in the city where I can at least be contained.......

I suspect it would be much harder to make a living without the TV money. I don't see those knickknacks paying for a week's worth of gas, food & lodging.
I love old stuff too. I met Frank fritz, real polite guy, i knew who he was but i didn't want to come off as a ******* so we talked like two strangers would and off he went.
