I kind of liked the show at first..but as time goes by I really dislike them putting the running tally of how much they made on each item.

Oakland/Pontiac sign was cheap, forgot about that one. That was dirt cheap. Trust me they did not sell it for $300! They had too get way more than that out of it! The Veedol was a good buy on both ends!!

Which show is the more realistic, informative of the 2.... American Pickers or Pawn Stars?

I think that Pickers is just ruinning the possibility for us to find items on the farm. I can hear the owner saying"I saw one sell on TV for $XXXX.XX not the 400 you offered". I think Pawn Stars is better. At least there you know you are not going to get top dollar because they have to make a profit.

Well more and more the guys at "prawn stars" call in an expert who gives a little history on things. but the product placement "like subway sandwiches" is just down right sickening.

It's obvious that American Pickers is all staged. First, why would you buy 4 or 5 items and leave all the rest there? Their offers are all over the place. Anywhere from insulting to over what the item is worth. I like to watch it as a comedy. It makes me laugh!
