    I have seen it if it's on the schedule on one of our weekends away from home. It is very interesting, there is always a lot of junque that they pass up that I would love to have. They just need to let me travel with them for a few days to fill up our pickup.

    Toni, now honestly, do you think that it would take "a few days" for you to fill your pick-up? A semi, maybe, but a pick-up you could have filled in an afternoon!
    When we lived in upstate NY, a friend was a "picker" who traveled New England rooting through barns and outbuildings and filling a semi with stuff. When he got home my antiquing friend and I would dash over with a hot casserole and fresh bread and help "unload". We got first choice, and he was so tired and hungry that we got bargains before he rested up and came to his senses.
