I think the dislike with the pickers is because the way many of them conduct themselves. There are professional pickers and then the people who think they are professional pickers. Look at the petro facebook groups...perfect example of how some of these people conduct business...is this for sale? is that for sale? how much is it ? All from Pickers when the item says NOT FOR SALE. Some of the pickers have manipulated market prices by putting stupid numbers on garbage....this makes a person think their $150 sign is worth $2000 because they saw it listed on ebay for a crazy price. It has become much more expensive for a serious collector to buy things. Not because the items are worth these insane asking prices, its because the market "thinks" that gas and oil stuff is GOLD! The market will fall and fall hard on the off condition stuff, because when the next craze comes along only the serious collectors will be left and they demand high quality items.
