I've heard people in the industry saying that this show is rigged. No way these people find all of this stuff in there all the time. So people are starting to claim that AE is planting items.
My friends uncle owns a facility in AZ and they rummage through the crap before it hits auction. They take whatever is of value the night before the auction.
Anyways, I went to Now and Then thrift store (Jared and Brandi) just because it's down the street from my house (Orange). Place was pretty packed and people were talking about the show. I asked the guy there and he said that it's been crazy since the show launched. Jared signed for another 8 episodes, making it about 28 total. Rumor was that Dave and Darrell didn't sign and they are holding out for more money.
So I bought this old bottle which is labeled "US government forbids the sale or reuse of this bottle" which was required to be printed on all bottles right after prohibition ended. It was a way for them to try to control liquor still. Nice tall glass bottle, shaped, clean, etc.
Got it for $4. It's worth about $20.
I'll credit that knowledge to Pawn Stars.
