american pickers
I was doing this on a small scale in the northwest. This is the best show on television in my opinion and its on the only channel worth watching...usually.
God what a great show! Wish I was producing this myself!
Great to see these early videos! Good to have when you need an American Picker's fix--and there are none on the TV!
I love you Mike you are the best picker in America
I and my son have been doing this on the weekends for about 12 years and I myself have been doing it for 34 years but it's only a hobby for me I have to work at a real job for a living but maybe I'll fall and hit my head and realize this is my calling.
This is my grandpa's truck. :) Thanks for posting this, guys!
How’s life holding up? :)
Great Show !
Old is gold
Part 2 of my comment: . They went and found these people and small towns and gave them cash money they didn't have yesterday, if they didn't go and find the stuff it would sit there another fifty years until it was worthless. Great show and I don't think Mike is a "douche" he is a great mix of a good business sense and an appreciation for these warm country folk and their back stories. He , like me loves to hear these people stories. Great show.
That car is worth a WHOLE lot of money. Even with the modification. They didn't say what he ended up paying for it.
I'm from Brazil and I loved seeing this video, you found a rare 1939 Ford Woodie, hope you can restore it and logical post another video to watch it as it was. Thank you for your attention
You mean Mike actually likes old cars? I can't count the number of times I've watched the TV show and wondered how it was he and Frank could walk right by garages or yards full of classic cars without even glancing at them as they're searching for antique stuff to buy and re-sell. It's always boggled my mind how they can be oblivious to the huge collector car market in the US.
Excellent no frank go it alone mike you and your brother are the only reason we watch,not some tight arse oil can buying pizza eating cat loving oaf...🇬🇧
my dad used to own a 49 ford woodie, when he wore it out, he got a 50 buick woodie and when he wore that out, he got a 58 chevy fake woodie,,,he was in the window cleaning business....:)
Hi from France,
I like to watch this TV show because is fun and relaxing.
Why they don't find some old sports items ?
undraftedplayer bc they don't like sports item
If someone has something for sale and they only want $50 for an item worth $500- that is their fault for not researching the value. They showed up at the old vet's house unannounced and expect him to come up with prices off the top of his head. It's not right.
How much did he pay for it?
Good god, who wouldn't want to own that truck? It's every pickup truck lover's dream. Well, mine, anyway.
I know Mike.No,he's not gay and he's a real nice guy.
@dano415 I love these guys and I love this show but that was the funniest thing I heard all week!
'Born Dealers' Marathon this friday am on Planet Green
Why wouldn't you wash the car BEFORE you got it inside the garage?
Wow has the show changed or what?!
@Stevey B the gay guy?
where did toy you get this clip from cuz this was uploaded in feb. of 09 but american pickers had its first episode in jan. 2010
@ps3tna I produced the videos and pitched the show as far back as 2006
I’m assuming this was before they were picked up by history?
No not gay, but what doe it matter? They're smart, cool, helpful. We ned more like these two.
explain how they are supposed to pay for gas, business expenses, etc if they are giving people what their items are worth. they aren't buying this stuff as collectors, they're buying it as pickers with the intention of reselling it for money. if you think they are crooks then quit giving their videos more hits and publicity by coming to youtube to shit all over them.
giving good pickers a bad name? how can you be a good picker paying top dollar for the shit you buy?
The show is going to premier on the History Channel Jan. 18th - be sure to check it out!
Hey I think this show as a chance at succeeding! It could be BIG. You guys looking for investors?
I’m Robert Francis,
I love your TV Show. I have Elvis Presley Jacket. And A Toys Of Motorcycle. And More.
@crazyeyesproductions your the star of the show?
I love that it was chopped because someone blew the roof out

Back in the day, we didn't have roll-cages. Or seatbelts. There's a '32 ford rottin out in a thicket that one my relatives died driving during some wood-slappin thigh-slappin racin event. As much as I respect him, I'd really rather have that car in good shape. Even 50's era chop-rod, but it's ruined. Even if I didn't own it, someone might be able to make a decent hot rod out of it, but no. He ruined it for the rest of us. For that, I sincerely apologize.
Absolutely amazing, another vehicle brought back to life.
You need to talk to someone they try to sell to after the show. Let's just say that they want top $ without any work being done.
you Guys I LOVE!!!! One of Favorite S!!!You Are REAL and Cannot WAIT to watch💙💙💜
I love Mike, I think he is awesome...love that he is a family man.
What happened to Frank Fritz?
you Guys I LOVE!!!! One of Favorite S!!!You Are REAL and Cannot WAIT to watch💙💙💜
This has got to be a 1940, it has the wrong headlights for a 39
Good
Is this before Frank?
Крутая тачка!!!
Mike looks 30 years older now lol
Robbie and Mike!!!
Why you bring it in the garage to hose it off?
I HAD THE SAME THOUGHTS ,MAYBE HE WANTED TO KEEP IT HIDDEN TILL IT LOOKED MORE PRESENTABLE !....////
You don't drive a hot rod to get good MPG's. You drive them because their fun, look awesome, and are a nice break from the cookie-cutter cars we have in current time
What they did to the old vet was what the travelers do to people. Look up "travelers" and you will notice a similar scam. Travelers will price a job at $500 then do $50 of lousy work and leave.
Like the show way way more without Frank in it. Mike and his brother are awesome together
I agree.
So if someone can scam an elderly person out of their valuables that is fine? I guess you think so with the name of buyerofsorts.
You know, I'm a collector and understand the importance of certain things you'd like to hang on to, but some of the people (sellers) in American Pickers make no sense. I often want to ask them "hang on to it...why?" If the items is something that is busted, broken down and in obvious need of repair/restoration, then get rid of it. Unless you want to die while owning it, here's my criteria for hanging on to something: (a) you intend to pass it on your children (but the requirement here is they actually have to "want it"); or (b) you intend to have it restored - and I mean in the near future, not some pipe dream of having done when your in your 80's and near death.
Great memorable yearns to be restored and owned by people who want to preserve history and show it to others to learn about it. It does not serve that purpose just sitting in your barn. Let it go into the world to be restored in shown to others. That's how we preserve our historical culture. And we'd better do it before the liberal-progressive revisionists of history wipe it all out and no one will remember the things we built that built this country.
guyfroml The purpose of hanging on to something is if it makes you happy. Everyone dies while owing things, and after you go, someone else will possess it and it will make them happy. As long as holding it is not a burden or millstone, and the piece, though unrestored, is not moudlering outdoors, why shouldn't they hang onto it?
You can't figure these people, it's a damn disease and no one gets out alive!
Great clip Mike, This Woodie was made the year I was born. Keep the shows coming we enjoy the so very much.
I've been to the actual shop! They have alot of cool stuff. :)
Great show, someones junk is another persons treasure for sure.
I posted a really cool video of Mike Wolfe making my mother in laws day on the telephone. She is homebound : )
Strange how the price was never discussed...
It was disgust obviously this is juat clips.
Actually you're whole point is these guys will not share their knowledge with people that they're buying from. Why should they? They're there to buy, not educate.
I really don't see what everyone's issue is with this occupation. I dont believe they are ripping off or scamming people. Its not like they go and tell the person something like 'this is a replica so ill give you 5 bucks' when its a real antique or something. if these people or their relatives want to though all their stuff, clean it, advertise it, and try to go sell retail fine. but they dont. plus the line doesnt stop there. they will sell it to someone who may fix it up,
@takerdust Dude, It's really simple... They buy things from people and sell the things to make a profit. Sometimes they get into hard times and need to find/sell things quick but theres no "massive cash reserves". Its not a big conspiracy like you think. "This show is fake! Blah blah blah They dont make money picking, its all from the show" I mean, They were a bussiness before the show and still are. Its simply a camera crew following a couple of guys around doing their jobs.
@kwadinka Well you know these guys have people calling them from all over to come and pick through their stuff. These guys are not even that good. They know Motorcycles, Bicycles, gas pumps, a few misc things and of course, rusted gas station signs. They're pretty one dimensional.
I do this sort of thing for a living too and you have to handle people with kid gloves. A lot of people will treat you like one of the family and you really should appriciate it. I'm afraid Frank does not at times
@MojoRepairShop1 Good comments, but WHEN would these guys ever get around to restoring something like a Woody? They are busy, busy making a semi-real reality show and selling advertising to support it. This whole thing was staged, the show has a budget to pay this guy $10,000 for a rusty old jalopy that will cost $35K to restore...not really a bargain. I know of one for sale for $25K, so that would save them $20K...
so much for "reality".
then that person may sell to someone else for a profit and so on. why is everyone so upset just because they make a profit? i bet if you showed any business to these whiners and put a 'plus' sign to indicate what was made they would whine about that to. these guys have to make a profit after overhead, gas, hotels, etc. plus, im sure they dont know the true retail price of every single item, that is why they have to buy cheap to make sure that if its not worthwhat was paid they dont lose alot
@MojoRepairShop1
Too realistic. I had older relatives like the ones depicted on this show with tons of stuff. Ya know what happened when they died? It ALL went to the dump. Why? Because nobody in the family wanted to dig through all the junk to find anything potentially of value. So think of it this way.. they can sort through all their stuff and find what they want to sell to these guys and charge them top dollar, or sell it to them at a discount only if these guys dig through the rubble.
Definintly TLC/Discovery channels need to bring back "car shows"! Who cares two bits about the little peoples, or moms with too many rug rats running around, or all that boring shit? It was junk yard wars, monster garage, and shows like that that made TLC/Discovery channels what they are today, and it's about time they went back to their roots and rewarded us who tuned in in the early days!
That's awesome. I would put it in a car show, all cleaned up, just like it is. Nice!
God I love America one day I'd love to go down into all the country sides aut the way love the people love the women don't love the bloody government wish I had a American friends or family
I think you've painted a little rosier picture than the reality. There are mostly good people, yes. But some bad ones, too. Prejudice is still around. Anti-immigration. Which has some merit, unfortunately. Only for self-preservation, though. I believe that countries should be dissolved, with a unified multi-ethnic and equal- economy world.
@kwadinka You know, I noticed that too. Did you see the diappointed and annoyed look on his face as he sat down? Like he had to endure some form of torture.
You can see right through to his inner greed. They had homemade pecan pie for Pete's sake! I would have eaten that, said thanks and left happy!
You guys are all fools. Do you all think that they only deal with the elderly? They deal with all kinds of ages. It just so happens that a lot of old people have old stuff.
Remember theres different dealer levels and each one has to make a profit.
Besides, its not like they bought the swords for only $50.00 or something like that .
In my opinion, this show is boring. I am into cars, guns, and weapons. this show rarely features these things. Pawn stars is great, but Pickers , bleh.
I mean no offense, not bashing, juz saying.
Its not so much that they don't know its value, they just don't care. They don't wanna put the time and effort into selling it or moving it. These people know whats going on. Your basically calling the elderly on the show idiots. Their not.
Ah hell, whats the old man gonna do with it anyway? They gave him $200.00 per sword didn't they? And they were told the swords were worth about $400.00 to the right buyer right? So where the crime?
They have to FIND the RIGHT BUYER first.
Haters, Im sure you have shit sitting around your house that if some one came by and offered you cash fro, you would sell it. They sell it cheap for the convenience and because the pickers need to make money.
Wow, I think these guys were better off NOT putting this show on. People are NOT taking too it. A lot of people are pretty pissed over it. But all the ones who are pissed, you would all do the same thing if you had the chance.
@PARACER44 Are you serious? hahaha. Their job is to make a profit. What... Do you think they are gonna go "You want 500 bucks for this car? I'll give you $2000!" I mean, really...
But if you had the chance to score, you sure wouldn't would you?
Thats how the world works bro, like it or not, believe it or not. Thats how the world works on all levels...
This guy was so much younger here
@zartan7779 ...and I am sick of people who can't spell, and have such low self-esteem that they refer to themselves without using a capital I.
I love this show! It inspires me and gives me tones of ideas to build more antique miniatures!
Thanks for sharing!

How much?
These bastards, after watching them bull shit the TV viewers that they didn't want to insult an 84 year old women on an offer for a Nash Metropolitan Car she had stored away for 40 some odd years. Boy did they move the cameras off this in a hurry. Then they show themself's quickly offering 10 dollars for old cans they normally pay 2 bucks for to make it look like they were MORE than fair to this poor old women they more than likely gave her 500 dollars MAYBE for this multi thousand dollar car.
to all the negative people who think these guys rip people off think again. they are looking(and buying) things that have sat not being used,forgotten,abandoned etc for many many years and then they come along and offer money for it. I am sure the people who sell to them are VERY happy just to give it the potenial for life again instead of just rotting away to nothing plus they get some cash out of it to boot.
how can anyone with a functioning brain honestly believe these guys are crooks? they make an offer on something and it's up to the owner if they want to sell it or not. why should a buyer be at fault when a seller doesn't know what they're selling? or why should they be at fault when all they do is make offers...
the root of this issue is that the "majority" that believes they are crooks obviously don't understand what it is to make a profit, which is the whole point of going into business.
@goldroof You should try doing it then. Pay your own blue cross family plan $2500 a month. Try living on the road with motels and gas and eating out. Then buy something, wait 6 months to sell it and make $25 . Wow what a business. It's a joke. They are making $20k an episode and that is enough. You can't make a living doing what they are doing.
Did Frank and Mike break up? cause last couple times I watched this show, mike was picking with Danielle, I was thinking that or maybe some of the older folks they come across would be more likley to sale their stuff to a guy and girl instead of a homosexual couple
In real life these guys would be out of business in 2 weeks. They need to make 2K dollars a day in profit to operate. Let's see Blue cross 6K a month, salary 14K a month,Van and gas and repairs 2K a month. Shop 2K a month. Then they show a purchase and they make 15 dollars. What a joke. 4 minutes ago
Yeah I wanted to know too but they cut that part out if you noticed so he got it for peanuts did not want the public to know, most of the dealings they do show what they got and what they paid for it. its a very Rare woodie in its original state.
This show is great i love it. I like pawn stars also lot but every time any of them ask them if they want to pawn or sell they always always say sell. why even ask the god damn question? We know they want to sell ok. It's to repetitive though
Look at it this way. 88 years old? He doesnt have long to live. Lets say he dies tomorrow, some relative is gonna get all of his stuff. What is the relative gonna do? sell the stuff for whatever he can get out of it. So how is it any different?
4:21 Who was wooden cars with a hose and especially in a garage ?
It's a car its gonna get wet. Ever hear of rain?
@PARACER44 I disagree.. I think they fake alot of it. Do you see the huge amounts of money they offer for some useless junk they find?
They must have a massive amounts of cash reserves sitting around to stay afloat.
I love you .jadore cette emision😆👄💋❤💓💞💕💖💟
(Points to woodie)
"That's real steel"
because it is January in Iowa. The hose would freeze and there would mud icicles and frozen mud.
The old vet didnt' have to go along with it either, did he? Freedom, live by it and die by it...
this show aint got shit on pawn stars pawn stars pays 10 bucks for a 1000 dollar item and these guys pay a hundred bucks for an item worth one fifty..c'mon gotta low ball those customers guys!
@SteveSabbai ___________________"Shame on them"??? The people that sell that stuff are not having their arms twisted. If they are getting the shaft, THEY ARE BENDING OVER FOR IT!!!
@RcUniverseGuy Watch pawn stars, it's a lot more realistic. I also forgot about them living on the road $400 a day for that. HA HA Ha they would be gone in a week in real life.
How much was it? Now Mike and Frank have 1939's. A 1939 Plymouth Coupe and a 1939 Ford Woodie
Ive never seen anything worse than this show. Two middle aged men try to rip off old people by stealing decades of their possesions and selling them for ten times the amount
@goldroof Wow I just read your comment again and you think they work 40 hours a week picking? They work 40 hours a week filming this stupid show, nothing else.
