Well, it has finally happened. American Pickers induced pricing on common VW parts.

You haven't seen anything yet.... Try to buy a sign, bike, or gas pump. Even better go to a storage unit auction, now that's funny. The best is all the new "professional" dealers that have now appeared. |

He picked up that split bus lunchbox pretty quickly in the last episode. Wasn't paying attention to what he called it, but pretty sure he said bus. I'd hafta watch it again.

Link to the eBay sale, please.
Just seeing it on the show, I would say the value was in the Thermos (but certainly not $500), as the lunch box looked very faded. |

I bid on that one, Ed, but stopped a bit short. I have one but it is missing the thin plastic exterior shell. |

There was a big debate (bitch session) last year in the bay forum. Everyone was after this box and kept kicking it higher and higher. It did end up north of 500.00. I'd gladly pay 2 bills for that lunchbox mike picked up.

Gotcha.
I thought you were referring to the very lunchbox that Mike picked. |

Off topic but anyone ever notice a few times when Frank snubs people?
Ive seen it happen a few times. Mike introduces himself and shakes the guys hand and Frank is too busy scoping out the property to give the guy the same respect.
Even seen where the guy sticks his hand out to Frank and he doesnt even notice.

Is there any truth that Mike screwed Hobo Jack?
Returned the stuff he bought? Because he couldn't find an instant buyer for that motorcycle stuff?
