Paul I am glad I am not the only one that is getting brain damage from it!
I had a feeling something odd was going on, of course it is made for TV. Yeah I would like to know what there buying also.

I had a guy tell me a while back pretty much the same thing. His brother had been on the show, and once the cameras stopped rolling, they unloaded the van and gave everything they had "purchased" back to the seller. Another way to look at it is, what are they buying off camera that they DONT want shown on the air. The van talk and cackles get on my nerves too. I am down to taping it and fast forwarding thru to items that interest me.
