OH... I might have seen her on the show once before. I think they called her on the phone from the field. She wasn't in the last episode I saw.

Amish mafia....all fake.

I'm more inclined to think that American Pickers is more along the lines of Deadliest Catch... Hundreds of hours of tape is whittled down to an one hour episode. We don't see all the bad trips they make, just the good ones. Otherwise, it would make for a pretty boring show.

How did that barry guy make all his money? He has a different hotrod on every episode.

I don't think we want to know...

With the amount of times he's mentioned doing certain things in the past that is. He could be a 'retired' man-ho...

At least I hope he's retired.

I watch some of these types of shows like storage wars, pawn stars, American pickers and they're interesting. What I hate is all the extra scripted "reality" crap they add. I like seeing the rare and interesting things that are found and the stories behind them and the value, but everything past that on the show is useless as far as I'm concerned.

Barry and his brother control all the produce on the west coast - heard that somewhere.

I think this is probably the case, I know someone who had them show up at his place (he restores old HD's with original parts) and he told them if there was something specific they were looking for he would be happy to talk to them, but they were not wandering around in his shop, trailers etc looking for bargains.

He has since done some buying and selling of individual items with them, but they don't get access to his goodie pile. The above was the impression he has of how the show works.
