I have watched a couple of episodes. I don't think that I would be very good at it, they got excited about the good deal they got from some of the miners, seemed like they were being kinda greedy to me. I would try to make a profit and not screw the guy, not literally lol, so as far as the negotiations go, I would be a failure.

In reality those miners are making a killing off those gems.....So losing a few grand isn't hurting them....

Unfortunately there are no Torrent files anywhere on the net. So only people with physical locations in NA can watch it. Was/I'm looking for episodes to download since they started last year.
