I thought I would just share two of my favourite shows about people who buy and sell things.

First is Storage Wars, it's on A&E, not sure when (though there was a marathon tonight). This show is a real-life thing that follows four different guys who bid on storage lockers that have been abandoned or defaulted on and are up for auction. Three of them are looking to make a profit, and the fourth is looking for cool things. The neat thing about the storage lockers is that you can't really tell what's in them, so whoever wins the auction is usually taking a risk and it's fun to see who comes out on top. A plus is that all the main people are charismatic, some feud, all bicker and chirp each other.

Next is the similar but different Canadian Pickers (there is an American Pickers, but the guys are not as entertaining). The show is on History, not sure when either (but it was advertised a bunch while I was watching Gladiator, and still can't remember when). The show follows Scott and Sheldon as they drive across the country picking through people's treasure and trash looking to buy collectibles and sell them for a profit. It's the two guys who make this show, sure it's neat to see what they find, but Scott and Sheldon have such a funny rapport with each other and the people they come across that keeps you watching.
