I think alot of people are forgetting the expenses these 2 guys incur driving around looking for their rusty treasures. I don't think they're ripping off the sellers. These people have alot of "junk" that's just going to rust and have to be disposed of by their family after they die. I think the sellers qualify more as hoarders, not wanting to get rid of anything. If the guys can flip something for 100% that's not alot at a retail level. Also, pickers sell to dealers who sell to the final customer. Often the price says bought and "valued at". They have to find that person who will pay the valued at price. As a seller on ebay, I don't feel bad buying a pin for $1.00 and selling it for $100.00 (doesn't happen often but it can happen). Often the person I'm selling to is on another coast or another country. The majority of that stuff is just going to rot, then they'll have nothing. Gretchen

--Another Story--

Hello!! I love your newsletter and enjoy reading everyone's stories about their collections, etc. When my mother married (in 1946) she bought herself a Fleck broiler. I don't think you can find these today. I believe it's stainless steel on the inside; the outside is still a shiny chrome. It has a huge "element" on the top in the inside of the broiler and this (in my opinion) is the BEST broiler I've ever used in my life. Steaks, fish.....everything turns out perfectly. For years I've been begging my mother to let me have it but it never moved from its spot in the kitchen for 58 years. My beloved mother passed away 3 years ago and although it's still sitting in the same spot, I haven't moved it to my home yet. It's now 64 years old and still works perfectly. PS... my aunt (my mother's sister) also has the same exact Fleck. She still uses it today and that too is in excellent condition....and my aunt is now 96 years old.

--Another Story--

Here's a subject for discussion that I have been thinking about for some time. We have a local auctioneer who often bids on and buys items for himself that he is auctioning. I'm interested in hearing the opinions of others...do you think this is ethical and why or why not? I opened such a can of worms with my comments about the American Picker show, thought I'd try to stir things up again. Jerry

--Another Story--

I so enjoy your newsletter. I haven't a new story, but I want to comment on the letter from Paul in upstate New York. I totally agree with him that it is fair for pickers to be pickers. Many of the elderly who possess valuable old items just don't know what to do with them or how to advertise to sell them. My mother had many old collectibles when she died. Since she did not need the money before she passed, she kept the items in her family home. My sisters and I were able to keep only the most cherished items. Everything else in the house was placed in a yard sale in our tiny community, then the remainder was sold to a "junk and antiques" dealer for a very few dollars, just to move things out of the house. Had she had time and inclination, I think Mother would have loved to give things away to people who loved or needed them. I think my mother would have welcomed a few "pickers" to see her things and estimate their value. I think she would have been happy to sell her "treasures" just to know that someone else would enjoy them. Elaine

I was visiting with my granddaughter Sydney, who had just turned 6. Her family had gotten two Boston Terrier puppies. While admiring them I told her that my dog Annie was blind in one eye. She said that their dog Cosmo had been kind of blind but now was really blind. I asked her what she meant and she replied, "Well, he's dead!"
It was all I could do to keep from laughing then and there, but maintained my composer to tell her how sad I was for her. Then we turned our attention back to the new puppies.
