The "odd finds" thread inspired me to post this!

Anybody else here a fan of this show? It's on the History Channel, basically these two guys go around to people's houses and buy stuff off of 'em. Friend of mine turned me on to it and I'm addicted!

I love old stuff, so if you dig it too, definitely check it out! :D

Plus I've developed a crush on Mike :oops: lol he's just such a sweetie.

    LOVE this show! Watch it all the time.

    It's always interesting to hear how some people acquire half of this stuff.

    It's awesome, and especially to see things get saved from rusting away in some yard. The Civil War episode was amazing too!

    my kids watch it, and the Pawn Stars and Storage wars. Interesting to see what stuff people have and how much its worth.

    Almost forgot about storage wars! That's another great show. It's a riot to see how these people fight over storage cubes. It's quite funny.

    I think it's interesting to see what the inside of some of these places looks like. We've all seen these places that seem like junk yards by the road and wonder what's inside. :geek:

    This show is for curious people. It lets us see what's in there! :)

    The hubs LOVES it...and sadly I can't take it. It's so annoying - when they pick something and say it's valued at whatever...what did they ACTUALLY sell it for? That's what I want to see.

    I seriously need to get a tv in my bedroom...never having control of the remote makes mamasan something something!

    Absolutely, it's amazing to see some of the treasures people have stowed away!

    Mamasan sorry you have to suffer through it. I can't get enough of this show myself :)
