    Scrapper Show?

    I seen a post on here where okdude said "unreal scrapper, unreal auction and other unreality tv show"... Is there a TV show about scrapping?:confused:

    Yes, there is (or was, maybe) but I think Olddude was actually making fun of it. I forget the name of the show, though.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    they are all unreal and stupid, and cause us all a lot of pain in the Ass and from noobs thinking they are reality. for the example I used to buy on auctions and storage auctions $50 or $75 max for a storqage unit once in a great while $100 0r $125 for a really good one. I dont even bother with them any more, since I have seen blind ones go for $200 to $300. Idiots just dont realize what they show on tv is just the good stuff, and they are all a set up not all the miles of driving and dead ends, this makes poeople think our job is all cream, with little work, so the jump in and soon find out it is a whole different world so most fade away only to be replaces by a new crop of TV idiots. sry just my .02, there just isn't any common seince left in this world.

    That scrapper show aired in these parts early on this year. It was canceled in no time!
    It was so stupid. One episode had these putzes haul off paving bricks and they were paid $100.00.
    They load them up and take off, then call around to find out nobody wants them let alone pay for them.
    It ends up costing them like $150.00 to get rid of the bricks.

    Another time the guy rents a trailer for a big load. he ends up hitting a car in the city with it.

    The show is a joke at best! Olddude is correct it is not reality, it is meant to be entertainment, weak attempt but ...


    Olddude I must concur, Common sense is just not that common anymore. It needs to be renamed to "rare sense ".

    Thats cause kids these days dont get spankins or beat up at school anymore. they dont know anything but I want I want I want. God for bid they get a 5th place ribbon at field day. Or worse yet no ribbon at all. Play dodge ball you ask? No way little jimmy might get hit in the head with a big rubber ball. Oh and dont ride your bike with out 200 dollars worth of pads and a helmit. We no longer thin the heard of the stupid people and they are now showing up on so called reality TV.

    I agree! The course of nature has been taken out of the equation.
