I'm just going to list everything wrong with the show as it'll be easier to read.
- Completely fake show. All staged, including interactions with the people they "trade" with, which leads to:
- terrible acting from all of the characters. I question the authenticity of the lead guy who has ticks (I'm happy to be proven wrong but if they are fake just for tv drama then it's just insulting to those who do).
- clearly they can't trade things to just keep giving them to their families and/or not sell, their pawn shop side of the business is probably more interesting.
- both male leads are boring beef heads with such stale personalities and due to this, they were told to bring in the "tattooed chick" which is just a copy from 'American Pickers' which was then copied by 'Pawn Stars' too! Can A&E change a formula? (BTW, I quite like tattooed girls yeah!)
- the show is boring in general and unbelievable that these guys don't do any form of research before driving the distances they do for items. The show really pushes using 'Craig's List', clearly when you call about the item, you can ask questions about it! It just defies logic and kind of means that they believe the viewers won't care and are just stupid drones.
- the items aren't as interesting as on the shows I mentioned above. They occasionally get items worth 10k but that's about it, nothing like 100k plus which would be cool as that's what viewers want to see.
- Because they're mostly dealing with junk, there's very little history to the items which I think a lot of viewers like to see and learn about.
I've got more but that will do. Thankfully the show was canned so don't bother watching this.
