Anyone ever watched this?

First time Im watching it tonight, pretty interesting.

Reminds me of the abandoned machines thread on here.

I saw this on Sky Anytime a couple of weeks' ago, and decided to series-link it; it's a bit quirky, but strangely compelling, especially Danielle back in the office.

A decent watch, but I prefer Pawn Stars.

Anyone watching this tonight??

That guy with the tunnels beneath his house and constantly wearing a hoody up?
Doesnt he look like the peadophile from Sin City???

Its about two guys who run a antique shop, but they find there stock by traveling down backroads to old farms and to people who seem to be hoarding a lot of junk. They then search the junk for things that will be worthwhile. You'll be surprised at the things that they find and how much it can be worth.

Storage wars is another good programe on the History channel.

Does sound good.

Thier favorite items seem to be car related enamel signs and cans.

Well they've come up with a novel fun and adventurous way to make a living though they probably overpay for some of the junk. It's so funny when you see some people that have been holding on to that clutter for years if not decades essentially abadondoned and they make a solid offer on the product and the people deliberate and act like well"I don't know I had planned to have that laying around unused and unloved for at least another five years". There is already a massive mental issue of hoarding in this country (the us)

Their adventures and interactions are pretty neat. Their favorite objects that I have seen so far are old bikes and motorcycles and their related parts

Yeah, I started watching this recently. Pawn Stars and Hardcore Pawn are both good too. They have another one Ive seen advertised but have not watched yet, about storage lockers going up for sale to some people. Looks like it might be decent too.
