American Pickers, has been on the air for over 2 years.... It doesn't seem plausible that a sudden rise in prices now, could be attributed to "Pickers"... 2 years ago... I would buy it, but not 2 years later....
Plus as I said, the bidders who have been driving up prices are not "Newbies" to Ebay... Instead, I have been noticing that they have had feedback numbers over 100 and in most instances over 500-1000....
I collect mostly Tide Water and related items... Are all/most other Oil Company items seeing this rise?
