Default Anybody watch American Pickers tonight?

Boy, the two guys on American Pickers tonight ran into a guy that had a whole warehouse just packed with old Harley parts. All still in their original boxes. Boxes and boxes of stuff all packed up. Boxes were all packed up in 1972 so all parts were 72 or older. Man, to spent some time looking thru all that gold.

This all the web site (http://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers/episodes/) says about it - As the guys are winding down their trip through the South, Danielle finds them the mother lode of rare motorbike parts in an old warehouse packed with new vintage Harley stock. Can they convince the sentimental and savvy owner Billy to part with some choice items?

well apparently I missed it.... turned it on 10 minutes ago but it was all about their big "sign" buy and the Elsie-the-cow" they didn't get.

Dang i missed that one! I saw the one where they were in SC at a couple different peoples houses, one being in Pickins County. It came on before that episode I guess. Oh well they will re-run it.

I love the show but those guys are all about the quick cash.
They ride but I dont think they appreciate. Not only the bike stuff but all the other stuff too. I would love to ride along and poke around in some of the barns they find.
Seems like they are in Northern Illinois and Wisconsin alot. Maybe I should quit my day job.
OCC at the auction.

It seem to me that the guy could put that nos on the internet and make some good money while helping out the collectors of old bikes.

I don't know the exact location of the shop, but I know for that portion of the show they were in North Carolina. The old signs and phone booth they found were in Iowa.
