That was the last time I ever watched the show. It was just too fake. If they actually bought that boat they took a major bath on it.

Ive learning in life that most things are all theatrics

I saw the episode, the boat was a mid eighties 31' Chris craft Stinger with one motor down completely, and the other not running. They gave @ $16,000. LOL, they took it to a shop where for about $5,000. they rebuilt one engine , refreshed the other, completely buffed out the oxidation on the gelcoat, and redid the crappy interior. (wish that shop was close to my house!). Then some joker (expert) tells them and the viewers that the boat is worth $37,000. That's when I knew the show was Bull****

Yup al for show jusy for rating. Every show is similar. the towing shows, pawn shows, storage shows. Its all fixed for entertainment.

I watched the episode where they bought the "Silent Scope 2" video game console (full size arcade model). It is languishing on their ebay account for $1599 (they bought it from the guy for 600 or 700).

The most clever thing they did was sell the silver coins with the old man's engraved picture on them. They bought the 30 lb brick of silver from a customer and Rick had it made into coins that they are selling for double the silver's actual value ($65 is the price on ebay). So it is a souvenir that could actually go up in value.

Not sure you will ever see those guys in the shop if they are pulling down millions of dollars a year as "quasi- tv celebrities."
