AMERICAN PICKERS

Max, the one with all the Studebakers is my neighbor. I've known him for around 40 yrs. Wasn't as they portrayed it though. They weren't freestyling. It was planned. He knew for awhile he was going to be on but didn't know exactly when till the week before.They got there around 8 AM and took a break around 12- 1PM. Mike came out and talked to people and signed autographs and Frank was upset because there were alot of people around. I actually sold Mike a tank from an old Columbia bicycle, screw the autographs I just wanted his money, $75. After I did that others started trying to sell to them. They bought an old wood propeller from some guy and A 1958 Harley from an old guy that bought it new. I believe they paid 11 or 11,500 for it. Was definately a good experience for our town. Last time out town was on tv was for heroin. lol!!

I live in Davenport Iowa, about 15 minutes from their shop in LeClaire Iowa (although I think they're moving shop to Nashville)...I bought a basketcase Triumph Bonneville off of Frank back in the day.

My girlfriends brother runs around in the same circle as Mike and Frank. Everyone hates Mike. Everyone likes Frank.

The way Mike laughs makes me want to change the channel. And it makes me wanna punch him in the throat.
