Berkeley Springs, W.Va., residents Jeremy Unger, left, and Scottie Simpson look over some items as part of ¿Picked Off.¿ The reality show that pairs picking with prizes airs Wednesday, Aug. 8. (Submitted photo / August 3, 2012) |
For the first round, the pair received their $100 and were sent out to a pre-selected spot by the show. There, they found a Honda Scooter that they picked.
"The objects kind of popped up," Simpson said. "We had two to choose from, one we didn't know anything about."
To find out if they made it to round two, tune in.
One of the biggest obstacles isn't the pick itself but getting past the judges.
Unlike Mike Wolfe from "American Pickers" who likes things with a little rust, the Merrill brothers believe condition is key, a sticking point sometimes to the contestants.
"Those guys are real nitpicky about condition," Unger said.
Unger said it was stressful and they flew in and out pretty quick, but he said they had fun.
"It was truly a fun, good experience," Simpson said.
For those thinking of picking again Simpson had two tips: first, to study as much as you can before you go out, and second, "know what you're picking."
