Now they are probably doing it for the show, but it seems at each location, they might get 1 good pick, with a nice profit, the rest is marginal to say the least, sure they had better maintain a fair demeanor amongst the sellers they visit, for the audience, but if this is how they are in reality, look at it the other way, this is what you do for a living, you need to make a profit, a paycheck, pay your overhead, payroll, taxes, refurbishing, marketing, keep a van roadworthy and stay out on the road, and so on. At first I was thinking the other way, but look at the numbers, they won't become wealthy off this, unless I am missing something here, it does not add up. At best, a good paycheck, with ups and downs, nothing wrong with that.
Allegedly, that '39 plymouth was not worth the trouble, $5500, if true, the seller did well on it.
I enjoyed the places they have stopped, amazing some of the collections, things people keep, hoard or whatever you want to call it.
I will agree, no one likes the snake that takes advantage of an elderly person, coerces, intimidates, or otherwise, maybe they shine for an audience here, but word travels quick, that show would be short lived if they were doing that to people, deals seem fair enough, and if the seller wanted to, they most certainly could spend the time to find that buyer and sell full ticket, instead they just wholesale to these guys, and it's quick money, have to wonder how many will be getting a visit from the IRS !!!!

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
