I'm 27. I've been going for several years. Now there are more young people. Before the tv shows it always felt weird there would be no one within 30 years of me lol

I am most likely the youngest 'serious buyer' here, as I always am at my local auction scene. Its rare to see because most young people dont have the means to do it like myself; transportation (a truck), seed money (full time job), or a place to store it (the house I rent has a storage shed on property).

I am 20 years old. Good luck to ya.

Lol - hope your wife isn't 16.

37 myself, with my wife (35) and oldest daughter (13) doing auctions with me on/off.  My daughter is hooked in both the buying, digging, and selling of stuff.  Dad and I already commented she can get a job in retail when she is 16 easy.

Reaching 35, blah!! My g/f is 25...mature for her age and I'm not craddle-robbing!!!..... :P....Have some cash in my pocket to definitely get deeper in this business. No luck with the past couple units, but I'm definitely buying some units. I think I may have profited $200 overall so far with 6 units, but I'm going to keep trying!!!

35

Seems like a lot of new generation pickers out there. I know I started going to auctions when I was very young. Got hooked around 12 or 13 and have been buying and selling since. I've been fortunate enough to make it a serious business with a 6,000 sq ft building to buy and sell from, couple trucks and a few employees.

If I had any advice for the younger guys getting in to it, take everything you see on television with a grain of salt!

Going to say 18-49. Since  most people are therebecause of A&E network. Here is a link cablemediasales.com/pages/nets/?cp=nets&sp=demo&demo=P18-49 that shows what network tagets what demo. And A&E targets women 18-49.
