Where Vintage Never Gets Old...
NEED PICKERS for a Reality TV Show
Seeking Passionate Pickers for
-Great American Pick Off-
Collectibles Competition!
The producers of a major cable network show are seeking “pickers” with the most honed hunting skills, the sharpest eye to determine trash from treasure, and the most effective negotiating chops to seal the deal.
This is a new show that transforms the cutthroat world of antiques and collectibles picking into a competitive game.
In every episode, antiques lovers compete in teams of two in a race to track down and acquire valuable items hidden along the back roads, barns, and forgotten corners of America.
The team with the most valuable loot at the end of the day wins the competition. They get to keep their lot of items and the lots of the other teams – it’s winner take all!
If you think you have what it takes to pick the most valuable treasures and get the best price, both you and your partner can fill out our online application at:
https://ccasting.wufoo.com/forms/untitled-antique-collectible-compe...
In our show, we take people from all walks of life on a mapped-out quest for treasure. Viewers will enjoy a show that has high stakes and is highly relatable. After all, you could have treasure in your own backyard.
Great American Pick Off is a simple show:
• Closed-ended, half-hour reality competition.
• 3 teams of two pickers per team are dropped into a town known for its rich antiques culture.
• Teams are given $1000, a map of the area, and 5 hours to scour the local back roads, garage sales, flea
markets, tag sales, basements, barns and junk shops, hunting for valuable and overlooked antiques and
collectables.
• At the end of the 5 hours, our Host who is an expert in the antiques and collectibles field assesses each team’s
haul and assigns a monetary value to each object.
• The team whose lot is deemed most valuable by our expert Host wins the competition.
The winning team not only gets to keep their lot of items, but the lots of the other two teams as well – it’s winner take all!

This would be great fun. I love to hunt, pic and buy. I do not know how long it would take to do the competition? I retire from my nursing job in 4 years. Maybe, I can do it later.

Sounds exciting. My best to you Linda. Hope you win.
No way, now how could I do this in 5 hours if I had to move from location to location. I stop to look at everything and stop to chat with everyone talking about items.
I did get into this business though by winning on a TV show called Treasures in Your Home years ago.
I had 60 seconds to run around an antiques shop and pick the winning item.

I picked out campaign banners. I had just gone to Washington in August and it was November when I won so I had just seen a display on flags and such at the Smithsonian. 60 seconds is not a long time.
Article: Treasures in Your Home Auctions Elvis' Cadillac; Viewers of the PAX-TV Show Bid for the King's Beloved '71 Sedan DeVille.
Gave me the funds to start my business. Elvis car was there also. How fun.
I sounded like a country hillbilly on TV though. Practically scared me. I went on 2 different shows. John Burke was extremely nice.

$10,000.00 first time and then went back for another round. Won $2500.00.
It took about 7 days in all. Nice hotel and air flights.
I figured it cost them about $32000.00 or so. Could be off.
Money long gone. I have a video of it but not sure it is online anywhere?

This is the first one. The Dec.2, 1999 with the Elvis car is where I came back the second time.
It was the first airplane ride for me at the time. I had to ride in about 7 before I was done.
sorry off track from OP.
