[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7449552, member: 549629"] Stealing? Ive heard this argument before about the show, I find it hollow. Nobody is being robbed, each and every one of them agree to the price offered. If they think they can sit in their house, and have someone simply knock on their door and offer them full retail price (Mike and Frank own a retail antique store where they sell these items), then they are insane. Some people just have no perspective on reality, the people in that thread are some of those people. What I do dislike about the show is how many times what it shows as the 'value' of the item is simply what Mike or Frank claims they will some day sell it for. I also find the show to be obviously scripted, at least some what. When's the last time you saw an episode where they 'cold called' some house, knocked on the door, and anyone even asked 'why are there tv cameras in my yard?'...? Never. Clearly the camera crew goes in first, and explains the premise of the show. Then Mike and Frank knock on the door, and everyone pretends its the first meeting. [/QUOTE]
