They Have to Make a Profit
Michael Wolfe and Frank Fritz is quite good at haggling prices every episode and so is Danielle Colby. But regardless of whether the haggling takes place on or off-screen, there’s one rule that the show must always follow: they have to turn a profit. This makes a lot of sense as there’s no point in spending money to buy a bunch of junk from other people to sell at a higher cost to others. And there’s another golden rule that the pickers must follow or they’ll risk going to jail.
