If he sold it to Mike for £20k it would be just like transferring £10k into Mike's bank lol any idiot can sell an item for max price there's a thing called the Internet he would make £10k extra online that's including selling fees lol
Warning: many of the people on the show are actually hoarders, not collectors. The distinction being: a collector regularly 'cycles' through this inventory - he sells/gives away items to make way for more. A hoarder simply cannot let anything go.
I respect this guy for not selling his prized possession... there are certain things that money just cannot buy.. if there is something that gives you so much joy and happiness, money, no matter how much, can never replace that.. I do feel bad for him as he realizes that he’s getting older and someday he will part with his possessions permanently when he passes.. he seems to realize that he might have a chance to pass this down to someone who will love and cherish it and take care of it as he did, and get as much happiness and enjoyment from it as he did, and this is what is most important to him... the money is not really even part of this equation.. it’s more of knowing that when you leave this earth, you can rest easy knowing that someone had picked up where you left off, and will continue to respectfully care for the things that brought you the most joy as you have cared for them, and will be around so that others may enjoy them too... this is true character, and it’s good to see it in action, but sad to see this gentleman go thru this.. if Mike does acquire this, I would be very disappointed if he ever sold or traded it for any reason, ever... I know the rules of business, but this is something different and I believe he knows this...
After they left, Mike gets a call. UK Mike "hi Mike, this is Mike!" US Mike "yes ,Mike (sounding super exceited" UK Mike " you know the motorbike that you pulled out from my shed?" US Mike " yes yes yes" UK Mike " well someone's got to squeeze it back in, its not going crawl back in itself."
There was a 1904 Hucksters truck in a garage in Pa. I tried for years to obtain! One year I went by and found the gentleman had passed and someone had lifted the roof of the garage it was stored in which had collapsed on it and towed it away! Guess I wasn't the only one who kept an eye on it over the years
Mike Wolfe is a riot. I was watching ab episode last eve of them shopping in an ice cream shop / hardware type store, Mike exclaims, There were stores like this all over the US. You could buy a pair of rubber artics and a banana split in the same place!
They offered to help, but the gentleman refused saying he wanted to re-visit these old purchases at his leisure. Oh yeh and sitting next to Frank made him uncomfortable...just sayin'.
Hi cari saya! Thanks for your kind words and for being an #AmericanPickers fan! Check out more from American Pickers here - bit.ly/2qKwYeH - and subscribe for updates from American Pickers and other History shows.
Just insane not to accept the offer for the bike. The old man will die first, never see a dime and his collection auctioned off or given to relatives who will sell his junk for profit.
Drive him out to the storage and pull out 1/5 of it to just say alright good luck and walk away hahaha what a waste of time for everyone. Including all of us....
He’s selling it on eBay if you look the name of the van up it comes up and the descriptions talks about how it was on American pickers , but it’s only selling for 16000 pounds on eBay
@@raritetskabinettet1603 What's your point? They get a double-dip payout, a lot of the stuff is planted or salted into each episode, and then a little history lesson follows, to try and make it look real, none of these "reality" shows are real...
I love the show but my one complaint is they're anythin but lowballers, they throw out astronomical numbers to dumasses who think that the world is conspiring to get their stuff from & think No, you'll hafta rip it from my cold dead hand, but reality is when they die all those junk/treasures will be sold by their kids for 10 cents on the dollar!
The long winded way he said no about the bike sale was hilarious!! Had me cracking up haha
Legend has it the old guy is still putting the bike and his junk back in his garage.
Putting his junk back in the garage? Is that what they’re calling it these days?
Yeah they shook hands and walked away leaving there mess behind for the dude to stuff back into the garage.
@@guitarsrcool4922 I’m 100% certain the camera crew helped the man out. Mike would never allow that to happen
Love affair with something that's been hidden away for 12 years. Hoarder psychology🤯🤯🤯
Like a kid not crying over a toy until you give it to a different kid to play with.
If he sold it to Mike for £20k it would be just like transferring £10k into Mike's bank lol any idiot can sell an item for max price there's a thing called the Internet he would make £10k extra online that's including selling fees lol

I have a love affair with this, so much so I have it packed into a garage full of junk and haven't seen it in 12 years, typical hoarder.
They do it all the time
Who's helping the man put his things back and motorcycle in the garage.
@@BenitoRManzo not my table
@Benito, man I was thinking the same thing :)
Thank you man, good luck putting your stuff back in
This dude literally just got people to clean out his garage for free 😂
well you yanks do it also :) so no different
My thought was do they help put all that junk back in the garbage?
Yup!
Yup!
And they found whole 5 minutes of contents for their episode

Doesn't matter when your dead...
Well written ,we all have the same problem .
Hasn't been in the garage for 12 years.
I don't think he'll miss that motorcycle.
Hoarder more than a collector, but still some cool stuff
Thanks for your take on the mans life and passion.
@@idahogreen2885 Thanks for your comment on my comment on that man's "passion" (AKA Mental Illness) for hoarding.
@@Darbobski Thanks for your comment on Patrick Greens comment on that man's passion.
"I'VE BEEN HOARDING SINCE I WAS 4",
"AND SHINING MY HEAD SINCE I WAS 5"
After they left, Mike gets a call.
UK Mike "hi Mike, this is Mike!"
US Mike "yes ,Mike (sounding super exceited"
UK Mike " you know the motorbike that you pulled out from my shed?"
US Mike " yes yes yes"
UK Mike " well someone's got to squeeze it back in, its not going crawl back in itself."
He watched them walk away thinking, “I gotta put all this stuff back by myself!?” 😂
I LOVE THE " I SUCKED A ROTTEN EGG!" @4:03 - LOOK ON MIKES FACE WHEN HE'S TOTALLY REJECTED ON AN OFFER!
Sooo did they just leave the dude out there with all the mess?
I hope not. Indeed I doubt it, they drove him there in the van too. It was probably just not part of the tv film, the cleaning up and drive home.
@Scott Smith what? 😂 have you seen America before
Thanks for showing us around. You got this mess covered? We gotta hit the road.
Finally in the UK! Happy birthday video, one year old.

Well, that's just evil.
That motorcycle ROCKED.
Lets be honest is ugly, but unique, thats what it makes it a beauty !
That gentleman seems awesome.
Saludos a Mike Wolfe y Frank Fritz. Hermosa moto inglesa. Desde Colonia Uruguay.
So they shook hands with the dude and left with the bike and all the rest of the stuff laying on the ground?
His a dreamer that will never ever fix it up
3:18 hands down best part
I love American pickers
Hi Andrew! We love that you love the show! Thanks for being an #AmericanPickers fan. You can watch more great picks here: bit.ly/2XFqs5R
Imagine everything left in that garage that went untouched.
Catch new episodes of American Pickers when the series returns Mon Oct 21 at 9/8c!
Were u at?.
How is this pinned 1 day ago when the video says it was posted 1 hour ago?
Good luck getting parts for that bike.
He will never see that bike again.
He obsessed with the bike, like an idol.
sad thing about this, the hoarder doesn’t know he is one
Bring back bearded wonder. Miss you Frank.
He is like thanks for cleaning out my junk, now I can can see it! lol
Very nice guy
Wow.. his house very full with treasure.
nice motorcycles!
SW London? The aerial shot at 1:57 clearly shows a right hand drive street, with cars parked on the right side.
Mike Wolfe is a riot. I was watching ab episode last eve of them shopping in an ice cream shop / hardware type store, Mike exclaims, There were stores like this all over the US. You could buy a pair of rubber artics and a banana split in the same place!
Wow an episode were they don't rip someone off, awesome 👏
They maybe refused it as it's coming up for auction on 14th May this year. Silverstone auctions
At first I thought he was a little crazy - but when he turned down 25 large for that bike I realized he was a full blown nut bar.
I have never such a long explanation for an answer of NO.
Never seen These episodes where they go to England
Looks like Donald Pleasance!....spooky!!!
I don’t understand, why do all these people ask if they wanna see their “garage” just to not sell what’s in it?
Because tbey want to show what they got, hoarders and collectors are like that
To them it's organized chaos.
25k in English pounds? That guy was nuts for declining the offer
I like how yall just left and made him clean up. He's a hoarder, he wldnt have sold anything
Did they help him put everything back ???!!
The two slicks back at it just love watching the b.s jyst great joke
Pounds or quid ?? Is that the same thing?
Yes it's the same thing.
Just like a dollar being a buck.
They left all that stuff out for that 90’ man to put away by himself, and correct me if I’m wrong but they just left him there?😂
They offered to help, but the gentleman refused saying he wanted to re-visit these old purchases at his leisure. Oh yeh and sitting next to Frank made him uncomfortable...just sayin'.
love frank

I would have snatched the 25G
He's more of a hoarder than a collector.
Good
That guy is not interested in money or anything else , he thinks he will live forever !! No dice , Mikey !!
The sad thing is that when he dies, manybof those things will be trow away with the trash
Nice
ON THE CONTRARY MY DEAR WATSON.😎
Nice bicycle...
Dang they had to put that truck on a boat and ship it over there lol
Van
Dude was there like "Oi elp me git it back in there".
Just insane not to accept the offer for the bike. The old man will die first, never see a dime and his collection auctioned off or given to relatives who will sell his junk for profit.
Dudes glass3s around round. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️.
Lets them pull it out just to say no lol
He offered him CAD 43,000 for that rusty bike. Wow
hey mike, round glasses are just that. round. hence the adjective.
That was crazy to not take that offer.. but hey people are crazy
Freakin nuts ....SELL it !
Drive him out to the storage and pull out 1/5 of it to just say alright good luck and walk away hahaha what a waste of time for everyone. Including all of us....
Surely you'd ask if it was for sale first?
Money isn't anything to these hoarders. They can't let go of anything. They have no life so cash is worthless to them.
OK then, put it Away yourself. Lol
Cool
What about the guitar?
I wish "the boys" would have offered to take it into Mike's house for him.
Who was driving?
This old fellow politely turn down an offer from mike wolfe. The bike is unique and hard to find.
That guy better get the motorcycle out of there someone will steal it for sure now
He’s selling it on eBay if you look the name of the van up it comes up and the descriptions talks about how it was on American pickers , but it’s only selling for 16000 pounds on eBay
Only4 made? So much for the demand of that model....😂🤣
25,000 QUID
25,000 Quid (Pounds same thing) is $32,000 dollars.
I wonder if he ever got that call
Not exactly the best looking bike in the world!
No regard for the bird he almost hit 🧐
That hammerhead shark I’ll pay 600$ for it
What is that motorcycle?
Please stop glorifying or providing a stage for hoarders. It is a severe mental issue that needs professional help to tackle.
He will never sell that never
Dude Lied …. 6 were made , not 4
Was that not a handicapped sign where they parked?
I assure you there is no bicycle with stone wheels in that place
Low ballers, making $100K per episode, still they grind.......
mike stang Do you work for free?

If they do 1000 transactions a year, and dicker $10 each one, thats an easy 10 grand profit. Lowering the offer is business.
It's funny to see that collecting/hoarding is an international disease.
Let's let it rot in the barn, no one ever needs to ride it.
Begs the question..how long do people want to hang on to stuff?
Still sittin
I have a 71 Honda CL350 Cafe Bike in my living room. Yes, I don't have a wife.
25k !! He'll probably never sell? What s wrong with people?
Collecting ? More like hoarding
