Alright,
I understand these shows are like fishing shows. For the hours and hours spent buying shit that ends up being nothing, they only show the couple of things that are worth some dough.

My g/f and I seem to be addicted to these two shows. They are pretty entertaining at best, especially with nothing else really on.

My issue, how fucking lucky do these people get sometimes? I mean seriously, they find some random wood backed, metal shaped tin horsehead. They want to trash it but the wife takes it to a collector guy, and it's worth $3000 retail for it and they sell it to the guy for $2000. Really? I mean again, I understand it's like the fishing show, but come on, it's like luck strikes at every corner

dave's the one that always wears black shirt and black shorts with his cap with his company name.

Barry is the guy that's the "rich guy" that is just doing it for fun. The blonde guy with the weird shades and always wears the skeleton gloves

Dave Hester is an A Hole but he's good at playing the game. I think he does overpay for units a lot of the time however. Remember though, there is nothing factual about these shows. Everything is preplanned, staged, creatively edited etc. Still a fun show to watch. Kinda like Pawn Stars before it blew up and got all Hollywood

I liked the episode where one of the guys finds a small oil painting in a locker, opens the back of it and finds like 1800 bucks. Dave is the one always yelling Yeeeep when he bids. A frickin noying.

Yup that was the dad and son team. You can tell everythings staged even talking to the collectors/experts after. That episode where barry finds those flare guns. The old dudes C6Z has no license plates.

Barry's the man, all those other people are too serious with it. Show is definitely staged though.

What is the name of the show where they restore the muscle cars that they find in the junk yard and then take them to auction. Last one I saw they had a 69 GTO.

I think both are on HD Theater. Desert car kings usually buys cars then uses parts from their lot to restore them. Wrecks to riches usually restores cars with modern stuff. Last I saw was a ls1 chevelle with a magnacharger.

The one I saw they had a 69 gto body/frame there in the yard. 90% of the parts they used came from the yard.
