    I found you guys the same day my daughter died. Sitting with a broken heart I turned on the TV and saw my first episode of your show. You both had so much fun and I've watched you ever since. I know this comment will be lost is all the posts here but I wanted to express my appreciation for who you and your team are and the risks you are willing to take to succeed. You both meant a lot to me that day and you still do.
    Thank you, brothers. You helped me carry on even though you never knew.
    God Bless you both.

    My husband and myself watched you guys for awhile. You like him are good hearted guys. He volunteered on the veteran comitee at work for years, rolling thunder 9 years and several fish fries and Christmas parties at our local VA hospital for years. He traveled to Tenn for operation Stand down for homeless vets 3 yrs. I did these along with him and we were blessed with 30+ years. He passed very unexpectedly last week and we buried him today. My heart and world is shattered. So just wanted to say thank you for all you do. He loved watching you guys.

      In Reno, Nevada there was a very wealthy man who wandered around downtown picking up coins. I thought he was a hobo just picking up trash. He took those coins to his home and put them in barrels in his basement. When he died they found his basement full of barrels of coins. He died in the late 1970's. He was very old. Probably born late 1880's!

    My wife and I enjoyed listening to your story. We live in MT, the "Big Sky Country." We moved from the west with $400 and a 5th wheel trailer. We started in Sidney after getting married and moved around just as you with several ups and downs. I worked as a field logistics mechanic. In many ways we did thebsame thing buying and selling from Gov Liquidation and others for fun. For work...I worked on Hagglund B206, Oshkosh 2518 Snowblowers and Unimogs for a Seismic Survey company. It was crazy fun. We grew slowly but never lost sight of where it all started our beginning. Our home is now in Billings, MT. Thanks for sharing your journey. Maybe one day will run into eachother.

    Amazing how much a difference it makes to have a brick and mortar, plus an online business. I worked as a contractor and passed on a few opportunities I probably should've taken, but while I'm not rich, or flying helicopters, ,or able to bless people the way you guys do, I made it and retired. These days, you need to have an online presence to make it. Things have changed a lot in the last 30 years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane. Have followed you guys for a long time now, and it's great to see how much things have changed for you.
