<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vess1, post: 795410, member: 13650&quot;]People!&nbsp; It is tv!&nbsp;&nbsp; Does anybody not think most of it is staged?&nbsp;&nbsp; Do you really think when the cameras are off that the guy is calling in experts every other time or wasting his time taking off to go visit experts so that he has to pay more money?&nbsp; &nbsp; The guy apparently has been at it for a long time.&nbsp; He has to have a pretty good idea whether something is real or not.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would bet in reality, he rarely uses the experts and either pays people cheap or automatically passes on questionable stuff.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; For example, I saw a woman sell a 1914&nbsp; $20 star note that was all beat up.&nbsp; I guessed it would be worth a couple hundred bucks as it was.&nbsp;&nbsp; He noticed the stars.&nbsp; The woman did not.&nbsp;&nbsp; He called in the expert and the expert gave what it was worth.&nbsp; They ended up paying her $1000 for it.&nbsp;&nbsp; I find it hard to believe that scenario would have played out if the cameras weren&#039;t rolling.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I have not watched Pickers but have heard about it and that sounds like even more of a joke.&nbsp;&nbsp; Has anybody actually tried approaching old farmers about rummaging through their stuff?&nbsp;&nbsp; They don&#039;t want you there.&nbsp; They don&#039;t want to sell anything.&nbsp; The reason they have all this stuff is because they have accumulated it over 50 years and never had any interest in selling any of it.&nbsp; Most are not desperate for money.&nbsp;&nbsp; I believe that show is probably totally staged.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
