I live in SC and have been by Murphy Village a few times and as was said above, the homes have improved down through the years. Friends used to live in Augusta and the wife worked in a jewelry store and complained of the women shoplifting.
I've dealt with one for years having barns painted. When he started coming I didn't know about the Irish gypsies but am suspicious of anyone coming up offering to do work, so dealt with him at arm's length. On one occasion I bought my own paint and had him apply it. Eventually found his paint lasted as well as any. He seems to have adopted the business model of doing satisfactory work and getting repeat customers. He takes checks too. That being said, he's never set foot in my house. Found out he was a Irish Gypsy after seeing the program on TV. When I asked later where he lived he didn't give N Augusta but listed Aiken, which is some miles away.
Another business some of them tried is to buy up cheap presses and other mechanics tools and try to peddle them. Don't know if that lasted or not since mechanics are not elderly homeowners and know the value of things like that.
