      I agree, it would be nice to see what he is getting for the stuff that he buys after he refurbishes them or not. He gives top dollar for most of his stuff and would like to see if he's getting it back on the other end of the deal. Got to imagine that he loses a lot on the things he buys because he is so honest and gives top dollar not like pawn stars or those type of businesses that are just looking to rip people off...

    I have to say that I like this programme and the two guys in it. I also respect the fact that they are prepared to pay a fair price - sometimes even more than what the seller thinks its worth!
    In the UK we have a show called 'Salvage Hunters' which is kind of similar, except the main character, a guy called Drew, who comes across as a pretty humourless bloke who always seem to want to pay peanuts for valuable items with the excuse of having to 'do some work' on it (often little more than a wipe down with a damp cloth). They also focus too much on old lamp fittings and tatty furniture.
    Mike and Frank come across as genuinely good blokes - still with an eye for business - but have warmth about them when dealing with people.

    Not at this level, but I see it a lot when people amass a collection but time doesn't stand still.
    I tried to buy a welded aluminum boat off of a guy once. It sat in his parent's backyard for over 20 years. I finally stuck a deal and took it off of his hand.
    I've been trying to buy a class B motor home for cheap off of another guy for over 17 years now but he won't sell. He claims that someday he'll restore it along with two other cars just sitting there in the driveway rotting away. In that 17 years, I've bought and restored five boats!

      Bugged my boss for years about a 59 Alfa Romeo that he had in his barn, decrepit, told him just keep my checks til' you're happy, made decent cash offers, etc. He aways gave the same response, "Nah, I'm gonna do somethin' with that someday." Went out one day to keep the bug in his ear, and find out that he owed somebody a measly 300 bucks and just let them take it. That was 36 years ago, and I still think about it and sigh.

Black and taller than anything i have ever seen. I had to ride up to our 2 foot high curb to get off of it. Do you think you can identify the year it was made? Have you ever seen one? How much are they worth now? Thank you for your wonderful show!
