The "pickers" seldom actually make a big "score", from what of it I have watched (which isn't all too much)..
As they leave the places, we usually see what they picked, and what it is VALUED at.. Sometimes it says SOLD FOR $XX, but usually valued...
The thing about VALUED.. My house is VALUED at roughly 200k.. Could I get that?? NOT LIKELY..
The other thing, some of those people on the show surely think like some people I know personally.. I'd rather sell __________ for $XX.. even if they're gonna make money on it because I've worked to "save" this stuff, and I know when I'm gone, it'll all be right down to the scrap yard, and in quick order.. If they're buying it, and gonna make money on it, then surely whoever buys it is going to continue to "save" it..
Then, take into consideration, they drive all over, wearing out a vehicle to get this stuff, and all the costs that go with it.. I'm sure they're making money from the TV show, but they were doing this before the network came along..
We also rarely see things they "lose" on.. and I'm sure there are some things they do in fact lose on..
There really are more sides than we see, but I'll agree, most of these people have to know they're coming, I mean, the camera crew would have me asking questions 2 seconds in if I didn't have a clue.

This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
