The show is staged. A guy that I work with has a friend who is going to be on the show here is South Dakota. How it works is they send in "recruiters" that look at all the stuff, decide what they want to buy and what the price is going to be and then they send Mike and Frank in to "seal the deal". After finding that out I kind of lost a little respect for the show. I still watch the show, but with a different outlook. Our local antique store even got a visit from their recruiters, which are based out of New York City, looking for any leads in the area. Dani D doesn't even find them leads. She just tells them to go where the recruiters have found them the things they want to buy. Kind of a letdown.
