‘American Pickers’: Here’s How Much Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz Paid for Two Rare Nash Healey Cars

Sometimes, these finds are easy; with the property owners wanting to get rid of the clutter that has taken over their space.

Other times, however, the American Pickers have had to name a steep price in order to convince the sellers to part with the items.
