Before this show hit the air, I was buying things reasonably and even cheaply. Now everybody thinks he's sitting on Fort Knox.

[@jbernardize]

So, it’s a T-shirt shop where Mike stores his stuff.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Exactly!
Thanks for watching

[@lucaschannel6030]

The only thing for sale in this store are t shirts

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Not true, there were a few over priced things no one wanted anyway. 🤣

[@cecilmize1]

The Nashville store is mostly selling t-shirts, pins and nic nacks that are new. I was greatly disappointed. But it was cool to at least see some of the things they have picked.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Agree.
Thanks for watching.

[@ronstewart9792]

Cool video but I had to laugh how many things had NFS tags,

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Agree, basically everything.

[@Resellocity]

They are nice people, but I think Mike has gotten to the point where he really only cares about selling to his regular clients, and collecting because he has enough money from the show and his other deals that the store is basically just his museum now.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Agree

[@michaelbowen463]

Kinda reminds me of the Pawn Stars shop.. A whole lot of souveniers with a few things for sale sprinkeled in. Cool vid, thanks for sharing.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Thanks for watching!

[@hopper345]

Thank you for sharing your journey .what a great place 😊

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Thanks for watching

[@austinhughes1924]

I’ve been to the Nashville store.A couple of years ago.I would like to see the Iowa store someday.

[@simplekustomsbyeddiepapand1838]

Thanks for the ride!!

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Thanks for watching

[@christopherprince3250]

Looks about like their Nashville store. Anything other than a hat, tee shirt, gloves, or coffee cup, it's N.F.S. should be called the Pickers Personal Muslim.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

*Museum

[@mobigsly9595]

I didn't know they were Muslims 😳

[@christopherprince3250]

Museum, damn spell correct. Lol

[@kennethanway7979]

I was at the store in Nashville... on the show, they acted like they had the whole building, but they only have a tiny store in that building. Most things were labeled not for sale. The antique stuff for sale was junk that nobody would take for free! Mostly tee shirts and baubles. Not hating on them, but wasn't worth going in. There's a lot to see in that section of the city though!

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Yeah, we wouldn’t have stopped at this one if it wasn’t on our route home from Power Tour.

[@83rsturbo]

Too many things marked not for sale

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Agree

[@vicchavez6570]

The compressor from hobo jack

[@Pilotc180]

Have they ever sold anything ?

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Tshirts and stickers. 🤣

[@paullemmons3644]

I was hoping to see the scripted, tattooed, circus lady at the counter.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Haha… me too. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@davidross5169]

I went there ,with some things to sell,or trade,but no body was there to buy the things,I took things that I've seen them buy big bucks ,A tugboat light,+ some other things IV seen them buy.

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

I wonder how much Frank was involved in buying? Thanks.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Thanks for watching Johnny

[@kathyhumpage5160]

Not much really for sale lots nfs all tshirts etc.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

There were more NFS tags than price tags.

[@RodneyJohnson-yy5ic]

I DON'T WATCH ANYMORE .
It killed any honest deals . I am not made out of thousands of dollars 💰

[@jennystryker2967]

Almost everything is Mike's Collection. (NFS). Everything else is way over priced.

[@rolandvillareal9337]

Surprisingly not impressed, see better things at local antique malls,that are more fairly priced.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

And more things actually for sale.

[@carl5536]

I'm seein stuff that I have that my parents had and their parents had and even further back that I didn't think was very old until just now and I'm only a short ways into this footage. Wow cause after I'm gone everything will most likely end up at the County landfill instead of being passed on down cause other family members has full houses already. I reckon I could let most of it go to help put me away when I'm gone..I'm amazed at what I've seen so far that's exactly like what I'm seeing around me..Maybe I'm supposed to see this video for a reason cause I'm not a wealthy person by no means whatsoever

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Cool

[@glennf3914]

Unfortunately the stores are tourist traps.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Yep

[@rickm2682]

I wouldn't really call that a store it's more like a museum

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Agree

[@BBQNBLUES]

Can't blame them for wanting to Ca$h in on the tv audience, but so much on display is _Not "Antique"
Used to enjoy the show but, when it turned into the Search for Motorcycle Parts vs everything else I found it boring. As 'staged' as "Pawn Stars".

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Yeah, I hate it when shows like this have staged stuff in them.

[@mikewinkelman7015]

Waste of time

[@LeamonPullens]

Usually it's worth what someone is willing to pay 4real.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

True

[@JayDoebler]

🇺🇲👍❤️🙂

[@4486xxdawson]

Only thing for sale is clothes,,,,whats the sense...

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

We only stopped because it was on the road we were traveling on. I wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

[@dwsheffer]

NFS tourist trap.....

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Yep

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’m a local. I visit a couple times a year but everything is overpriced

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Yep

[@donglass9072]

Looks like most of the things worth buying, are not for sale. So what is the use of going?

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

I agree. I wouldn’t go out of my way to see this place. We only stopped because it was on our route home from Hot Rod Power Tour.

[@lorieandpatrickdavies7483]

Looks like just another tourist trap. Props marked NFS, and overpriced t shirts and knick knacks. And most of the props look like they should be in a landfill. I enjoyed the show when it was new, because they explained the history of various items and long gone companies. Then it became more and more about Mike and the other personalities, and became much less interesting. I don't bother with the show anymore.

[@wayne8276]

There is nothing in there , I can't live without . For sure . Bye .

[@johnmeadows5645]

That place is out of my price range.

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Yeah… my brother and I walked out with two stickers!! 🤣🤣

[@ksavage681]

They don't even sell the nice things.

[@clintkeenan4657]

They don't sell anything but tourist trap crap

[@MidwestCarLifeShorts]

Ya nailed it. There were a lot of tags with NFS on them. (Not For Sale)

[@timhanson2080]

Never really cared about the show or the people who own it.

[@thetimetotakeastandj.g4985]

[@mchristr]

Living in the Midwest by the Mississippi seems like it would be a cool thing. But I would never survive the winters. Thanks for posting.

[@michaelbush9447]
