Negotiations Are Different in Real Life
Some critics have questioned whether “American Pickers” is actually reality TV or if it’s just made up. This isn’t the first time a reality show’s authenticity has come into question. But Mike Wolfe assures his fans that everything they see on the show is real… for the most part. The purchases seen onscreen are legit, but the negotiations that take place off-screen are very different from what viewers see. They just make it seem good in front of the camera to keep things entertaining.
