So this show has been an addiction to my wife and I.

Kinda curious, anybody else here love this show? Hate Dave as much as my wife does?

Anybody ever consider doing something like this?

I have never seen anything like this in Canada let alone find anybody who can give me prices on things as I have sports memorabilia coming out of my *** that I want to get appraised and sold...

Curious as to see if anybody heard any rumor about Dave being charged with something as I thought I heard something along those lines...

I've watched a few episodes, its OK but I wouldn't put myself out to watch that over something else. You do get to see some interesting stuff though. There's another series you might be interested in called Auction Kings on Discovery, people bring their stuff to some auctioneers and then they research it and sell it in the auction at the end. There are some interesting items on that show to, from rare bits of history to mint condition classic cars and everything in between

Yeah its a pretty good show, Dave made a ton of money (off of vendor machines), made me jealous. Havn't seen the texas one, seemed hard for me too.

To gain 30+k$ from a locker where the items were literally siting in front of you and the locker goes for like 1900 bucks is like stealing candy from a baby. Sometimes when Dave bids on lockers he knows what hes looking at, other times hes just a complete moron. I havn't seen Darrell win much of anything lately.

I havn't seen the texas one yet but I want to give it a shot to see if its really as entertaining as this one is. Not sure as I am so used to the characters and such now...

Will have to make time to see it!

Yup, lately if they do get a locker they just lose out on money, not much money but still lose out on it.

I just cant believe that no place around here can appraise items to sell off or atleast help me out... lol!

The cat is out of the bag on this one tbh, I did a quick search to see if it goes on in the UK and there a thousands of articles all around the internet. It will be increasingly difficult to profit from doing this unless you know the trade inside out, the same happened with antiques and collectors items in the UK a number of years back.

There where some TV shows like Bargain Hunt where people competed over buying and selling antiques. People realised that there was the potential to make a lot of money, the secret was out though and competition sky rocketed. Most people that try it out end up losing money instead, its hard to match the experience of people who where doing it for years before it became famous.

I've realized that in order to do this you gotta go in with a TON of money, like Barry. He loses out on more things than I can even think of... but he keeps on plugging along...

Sometimes I wonder on how people even make their money... LOL

When you make big investments it doesn't take many mistakes before your outta cash. Did that violin in the bay full of car parts actually turn out to be a Stradivarius? I missed the rest of that episode.

It was a youth violin, worth maybe 100 bucks as is. Basically worthless. LOL

Well, I did give the TX one a go, figuring it would be just as good... BLAHHHH! Wish I could unsee it now. Bunch of hillbilly redneck's give Texans bad names. DON'T WATCH IT... seriously... it's terribad!

I kind of root for the couple that own the little shop. And at times am glad to see Dave put in his cocky, know-it-all place.

three of the people in the show, own stores so the small items they sell in them. Smart way to do it. If you get big find great, but even if its a small find you can sell those items in your store and make some money.

Barry is the collector, and throws out the small items, since they are rubish for him. Then he is sometimes unlucky in finding collector items as well. Be tough.

I thought I heard Barry uses Jarred to sell items and they get a cut if Jarred is up to it. I believe I heard that a while ago, not sure if they do it anymore cause I havn't seen it happen much anymore...

And I know Darrell gets his items for swap meets, thats where he sells his stuff.
