yup,,thats it..

Yes,Roger,,wasnt sure exactly where it was,but I saw a road sign on the highway that mentioned Kansas City,so I didnt think it was too far away..

Gee,Don,,are things getting that hard up there on tv??I think it must be time to start a few good reruns of shows gone by that need to be seen again..

I've watched a few American Pickers shows and have just about given up hope that this staged show like so many of the DIY home or reality shows would get better. It hasn't - just gotten more ridiculous in what they seem to be paying. The fact that a 'seller' has a camera (or three, four or more) in his face just makes it stupid and unbelievable. I grew up with a mother and grandmother who were antiquers and was forced to wander the aisles and shops for too many hours so have a feel for what's good and its value. The junk they buy is beyond the top of anyone's price. The unfortunate part of this is that it has caused so many interesting things to be Barrett-Jacksoned - that is, just because it's old or been shined to perfection, it has to be worth lots of money and has killed any reasonable market. I don't watch this stupidity for the masses any longer!!
