IF U ARE A 'PICKER'...THIS IS A GOTTA HAVE...
When I saw this game as a TGT it was one that was 'immediately' try it!...I watch the tv show 'pickers' and have been a 'low key collector' of 'collectionables' for many decades...my budget does not allow my 'want list'...but back to the game...finished the demo and will purchase...
first the graphics are great...the junkpile status could use a little 'cleaning up' because some scenes are a 'wee' bit fuzzy on edges...a challenge to decided to 'buy, sell, auction' or just look 'purrtee' in your shop, u decide...no voice overs just script that is read on your own time it takes to read...the 'shop keepers' across the many areas are 'cream of the crop' in characters you just got to either 'luv, hate or giggle'...d/l went smooth and no other 'glitches'...so what can I say but off to purchase...do I sound excited, well yes!
********* gets a five star *******
Is not 'shopping' a good thing?...thx to dev's and bfg this one make you either happy you got the 'pick of the day' or if way to serious can be flustrating that the 'pick got away'...but its a game! TRY IT!

Great game, and I don't like hidden object games
I really liked this game, and I was playing on zen level with no competitors. (I don't like to compete with other players, but the game also has that aspect, if you want it.) I'd describe this as a combination of a tycoon/business game and hidden objects, both really well done. After you find the objects in the category that is hot that day, you have to haggle to buy the items and then decide how much to sell them for. I would definitely recommend giving this game a try and see if you like it. It's one of the most interesting new games I have seen lately.

Addictive, original, and fun!
Pro's: You can pick up ANY item on the screen and haggle with the owner on the price, then turn around and resell it in your store OR take a gamble and take it to auction. The graphics are pretty good, and the various locations give you plenty to have to remember (where did I see that diving helmet now that the "hot items" are maritime items?)
Con's: I totally ignored my kid the first night I played this. Also, I found that I made more money just looking for items that I thought were a steal, rather than focusing on the hot items. I also found that I made more money at auction, so I rarely sold items in my store.
It was extremely satisfying to find a hidden treasure that you thought was worth something, and take it to auction, and make a 400% profit on it (jackpot sale). If you liked American Roadshow, I think you will enjoy this game even more!

Fun & competitive
I played the download free 1 hr version and found it to be fun and competitive, that is if you use the regular mode and not the zen mode.

Pickers
Game was fun while it lasted...just a couple hrs. of play. You can't continue to play on your own after the game objectives are done,,,,So upsetting

Better than regular hidden object gam
This game was alot of fun. I thought that when it would go into having to sell items that it would be a bore. But thankfully it keeps peaking my interests to keep going. Alot of fun

HOG with a difference
Instead of following a story line, you play as the owner of a shop that works to find items for your store that will sell at a profit of what you have invested. You can choose to sell something outright, or to send it to auction if it hasn't sold. You make deals with interesting characters for their items, all the while on the lookout for items that can be combined to create something new. Makes it interesting, but not worth it to spend credits to buy the game!

Very Addicting!
Love this game! Already well into my second go round with this because I didn't want it to end. To me, a very different game. Once I figured out what I had to do, it became very addicting. There are several levels to play, even a relaxed mode. I found it challenging when it came to combining to items to make a set and scouring around for the second item. I started to write down where I saw things that may be part of a set, because there's so much stuff, it's hard to remember. Loved restoring things, haggling, turning people down and picking and choosing what I wanted to sell and what I didn't. I will probably play this again at some point after I finish this second go round. Each time, they give you differnt goals so it's never the same game twice. Wish there were more games like this one!
