Oh No!

Under the tables of all swap meets will never be the same again!

Suspect the Halloween costume was the last straw :-)

Not a bit of talent or restoration skills on that show. Can't believe it was on as long as it was with those inflated prices!

It's been a hell of a ride from the show and what it has done to this hobby though, from the good to the bad.  At one of my local shows selling lamps a few weeks ago a guy showed up asking if I'd be interested in restoring his vintage fan, but his real dream was to send it off to Rick instead.  Just about drove me crazy, I ended up giving him a couple of names of folks on the forum after trying to explain that stuff wasn't always as it seems on TV.

Does that mean reruns are going to go up in value because new ones are no longer being made? :biggrin:

Reruns of American Restorations are converting to Seinfelds...... 

They found scripts under a table at a swap meet.

       I must agree with Tom.
       I have an 81 in my shop for restoration right now. Customer inquired to Rick's about restoring it. They told him 6 to 12 months and $10,000.
