This show and others, like Counting Cars, etc., are talked about on car forums a lot too. All of them are pretty bogus, full of incorrect info and inflated prices. Some guys say they have seen their work on stuff that was in a show. They say it looks nice on tv; but in person it's sloppy, done cheap and fast.

I've got a friend who had a little dealing with the Pickers. On the show they make it look like Danielle in Iowa gives them leads and they show up without knowing what's in store for them. The truth is everything is done out of New York City by a producer. Before they go anywhere, they have to have photos and descriptions of whats there, which is forwarded to the guys. They sometimes even pick out what they are going to buy on camera before they get there. All the arrangements are made out of New York. It's all staged!
