Watching the new Pickers show. They pass on a Tokheim 850 for $1100 without even barganing? Guess I should hit that state, so far 3 tokheim 850s on that show today.

I just watched it earlier this afternoon. I was amazed at the incredible bike collection (1,000+) that father & son team had. And the guy in Detroit that "gave" Frank that United Motors Service neon sign for $100. WOW!

SURE HE DID! Just like they bought the Radiator Cap Mascot in Long Beach last year for $50 & sold it for $1,000.
Bet you guys believe EVERYTHING the A-TEAM did too. & The DUKES OF HAZARD only used 1 car for ALL the stunts!

That show is used to get you talking and out of your chair! That united sign was nice- (there are some cases that people do not know what they have). It's amazing how these tv shows have manipulated market prices....

Never said I believe all they do, I know the guy in Gardena who they "accidently" saw their demolition shop from the street on the show. He told me his friend set it up for them to come by. Also did not believe the $100 price for the service sign. Just thought may be alot of pumps in that state

I reread it and I'm pretty sure he wasn't trying to be hostile! Was more of an offhand comment about how we all get lucky someday! Hard part is realizing it when it happens and it looks like you did just that!
