American Pickers

Watched a bunch of newer episodes recently, and I can't stand how Mike always makes a point of specifically saying, "I appreciate you!!" instead of "Thanks" or whatever. He's obviously trying to make it his catchphrase and it's really frickin' annoying. Sorta like that "Yuuup!" guy on the 'Storage Wars.'

he's been saying that forever...basically saying "I appreciate you agreeing to sell me this Blank for way less than it's worth!"

I agree it rings of fake sincerity...although I think he's genuinely a decent guy.

Couldn't agree more to your statement or the one you were replying to.

Regardless of all the negatives, this show is actually fairly watchable. Pawn Stars needed to go away years ago. Their smugness is a cancer. I can't believe that they believe they possess more than very rudimentary knowledge. The producers have clearly been blowing smoke and it's stoked the fires of some highly undeserved egos.

And I appreciate you for agreeing with my statement and my response to the statement I was agreeing to...Billy!

I could be wrong, but I think that "I appreciate ya" might be a southern thing. I'm a Californian and I've done some work in Hot Springs AR and Lexington KY in the past few years and that phrase is very common in both places.

You're probably right.... but why not use better grammar and explain the sentiment? "I appreciate you" is extremely vague and says little. If he was specific to warranted interactions and said something like "I appreciate you working on this price with me", or "I appreciate your knowledge about this item", etc, that would make much more sense. You appreciate specifics about someone or something, but as a rule, you do not just "appreciate" in general.

"I appreciate ya" begs the further question... "well, what about me do you appreciate??" Everything??

was watching last night and I noticed Mikes brother...whatever his name is...saying "I appreciate it" after striking a deal. I stand by my belief that Mike is trying to sound sincere...which I believe is somewhat authentic.

Now don't ever...set foot on my lawn AGAIN!!!!

Can’t stand the “Yuuup” guy! Seems like an every day jerk!
