Absolutely Fantastic

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Units are purchased by the production company, then seeded with antiques or valuable items, re-sealed, then auctioned on TV. More than likely none of the bidders pay for anything. One may note how no one but the cast ever wins any of the auctions. That alone is revealing in itself. And there experts are not. In one segment, an "expert" stated that a turn of the century quack UV medical device was made as a sex toy, which it most definitely was not. Prices given are wish prices, not realistic. Even at a swap meet at half the price, it might take years to sell any of it.

I liked this show at the beginning. It has fascinating characters like the arrogant Dave Hester, the eccentric 'collector' Barry Weiss, the Sheets father and son, and young couple Brandi and Jarrod. There is an exciting bidding process. This is also a treasure hunt.Now comes the problems. The first problem I noticed was the pumping up of the bids. It's exciting to bid higher and higher prices. The show fell into that trap. Once they started to bid higher, they can't seem to stop. The prices became ridiculous. Like an addict, the highs stop being exciting. It is such an obvious annoying setup that the bidding half of the show is now unwatchable.The show was always prone to faking. The pieces were priced with questionable appraisals. The fact that the characters were paid by the show is not really news. Then planting pieces really blew up. I was willing to accept a few pieces, but the wide spread planting really hurts. It's obvious that things are rigged when every week, exactly 3 of the 4 teams get lockers while 1 team walks away empty handed. EVERY TIME.The bidding process is now very boring. The characters are wearing a little thin. Dave Hester got booted for possibly complaining about planting of pieces. I still like to see the different buys whether planted or not. Overall, it's not the same anymore. It may have been a 7 at the beginning but it is no more than a 5 now and dropping.

I love this show! I would love it even more if Dave were not a part of it! Dave has the worst attitude of any person I have ever seen. For someone to deliberately want to affect someones livelihood is just pure devilish! Barry on the other hand is hilarious!! He makes us laugh on about every episode we watch! He would be SO much fun to hang out with. ;) We also like Brandy and Jarrod, they are in it for their business and to make a living, and it seems they enjoy the auction too. Darrell and his son make a good team, it's nice to know a father and son can work and enjoy their time together. I do have one question though, who comes up with how much they have made? For example when Dave said something was a certain price does it is even sell for that?? Thanks!

Awesome freaking show! The show is great and intriguing before you get to know the characters. Once you know the characters the show gets even better! They get to know each other and they start hating each other. Awesome. I could watch this show all day. I actually have. I personally like everyone except Mr. Hester. Although he definitely is the smartest of the bunch. It's awesome to see something that you would think doesn't costs a penny turn out to be something super expensive. Overall I'd say its a darn good show. Go into it with a positive attitude and I think you will thoroughly it's a show for all ages. 9/10 almost perfect but I think they might have to change up the lineup soon and get a new cast.
