This Craig's List ad is currently nationwide and there is no shortage of people trying to cash in on the wave of interest in collectors and be the new "American Pickers" or "Hoarders".
Most reality shows are so contrived and scripted and consist of cheap shots and base humor.
I'm wondering when we will see the Real Housewives of Ebay?

The piece that makes "American Pickers" so good, is the authenticity.
They are not playing a part, they are the real thing. This is also the case
for "What the Sell".

Authentic characters and truth are what makes "American Pickers" and "What the Sell" so compelling.
American Collectors, a documentary film about people and their relationship with things, presents 13
collectors. In their own words, they share the passion they have for the items they collect.

Purse Collector in our Film finds the mystery of the Giant Purse

A passionate antique purse collector who is featured in the documentary film, American Collectors, hit the jackpot due to some good luck on eBay and a special film screening.

The one of a kind purse is featured in the film American Collectors. Viewing the film at a sneak preview at the 2009 San Francisco Antique Purse Society Convention, another collector recognized the purse. The following week, she emailed a copy of a photograph of the original owner and detailed information on the purse's provenance. The purse features over 1,000,000 beads with a design taken from the windows of a Church in Rueil France. It was listed as the world's largest beaded purse and valued at $250,000 in 1928. The purse had been purchased on eBay in 2005, but the collector had no idea of its pedigree.

"I knew it was one of a kind and very special, but now I know there are over 1 million beads in this purse and it is probably still the largest beaded purse in the world!" The ecstatic collector plans to find a more suitable home for the purse, possibly at the Smithsonian.
