............. or
American pickers are on but i find it hard to watch a full show.

In South Africa we got "African Pickers", they arrive at your frontdoor with an AK47 and take everything. J

Hi,

"Combat Dealers" is a good show, but very "staged" and unauthentic.
Very like other (presumably USA) "reality" TV shows - "American Pickers" and "Pawn Stars" and the notorious show "Storage Hunters" where they crack open storage units to auction the items inside.
Compelling TV?
Not for me, just cheap s**t for the masses, so TV companies can fill up airspace for a minimal price.
I watch "Combat Dealers", but as an entertainment, not as a learning experience.
Deals are done, people make money; but gents - I'm afraid to burst the bubble - deals are not done in this way in the real world.

Best wishes,

John.

We're starting to get this in the U.S. as well but its is considered gauche to mention it in polite company....
