- [bleep.]
BRAND-NEW.
- THERE'S A SAFE RIGHT HERE.
THERE'S A SAFE.
- SOLD YOUR WAY FOR 450 BUCKS, DARRELL.
[country music.]
- THIS IS THE WOW FACTOR.
- I'M NOT INTIMIDATED BY ANY BUYER.
- CASH IS KING.
WINNER TAKES ALL.
- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA ENCOUNTER.
- [auctioneering in background.]
- * MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN * MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN - SOLD! - HERE'S THE DEAL, DUDE.
IF I WANT SOMETHING, I WANT IT.
WE CAN TAKE WHATEVER WE BUY AND TURN IT INTO A PROFIT.
YOU KNOW THAT.
BRANDON AND I ARE HEADED UP TO CERRITOS TO AN AUCTION TODAY.
IT'S AN AREA I HAVEN'T BEEN INTO.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S GONNA BE LIKE UP HERE, BUT I'M LOOKING TO HIT SOMETHING BIG.
GET UP IN THE MORNING AND SEE GRANDPA OFF TO WORK, HUH? YEAH.
I KNOW YOU'RE TIRED.
- WHO'S MAKING YOU BREAKFAST? - ZOE IS MY NIECE.
AND MY DAD DARRELL, HE'S THE ULTIMATE CAREGIVER FOR ZOE.
- I KNOW THAT I'VE GOT TO MAKE THAT MONEY, BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST FOR SUPPORTING ME AND MY WIFE ANYMORE.
I GOT TO MAKE SURE THAT ZOE'S GONNA HAVE AN INCOME FOR HER SCHOOLING LATER ON.
- BYE, HONEY.
- GIVE ME FIVE, BABE.
GRANDPA'S GOT TO GO.
- TODAY WE'RE IN CERRITOS, CALIFORNIA, WHERE WE HAVE SIX UNITS FOR SALE.
THESE UNITS USUALLY RANGE FROM $100 TO $1,000, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GET STARTED TODAY.
- HERE I AM AT CERRITOS.
BRANDON AND I FINALLY SHOW UP, AND I START DOING MY USUAL SCANNING AROUND.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SEE JARROD SHOWING UP, AND IT'S STILL NOT GONNA THROW ME OFF MY GAME.
I'M HERE TO PLAY, AND I'M READY TO GO TODAY.
- IT'S GREAT THAT I CAN TAKE BRANDI WITH ME TODAY.
NORMALLY SHE'S AT THE STORE.
HAVING TWO SETS OF EYES OUT THERE, HAVING TWO PEOPLE OUT THERE, HAVING HER INPUT ON A UNIT GIVES US A LITTLE BIT OF AN ADVANTAGE.
- MY STRATEGY TODAY IS TO KIND OF LAY LOW, STAY OUT OF THE LIMELIGHT A LITTLE BIT.
I'M HOPING TO GET A FRESH LOOK AT THE UNITS WITHOUT THEM KNOWING THAT JARROD IS INTERESTED IN IT.
- I STEP OUT OF MY CAR, I SEE JARROD AND I SEE DARRELL, AND I THINK TO MYSELF THESE TWO SORRY PUKES ARE HERE AGAIN, AND THEY'RE GONNA BE GETTING IN MY WAY AND ANNOYING ME ONE MORE TIME.
- ALL RIGHT, THESE ARE THE RULES OF THE STORAGE AUCTION.
EVERYTHING YOU BUY TODAY IS GONNA BE AS IS, WHERE IS.
THIS IS A CASH-ONLY SALE.
WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOOR.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU ABOUT FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK.
YOU CANNOT TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE THE UNIT.
YOU CAN'T OPEN ANY BOXES.
IF YOU'RE READY TO GO, I'M READY TO GO.
LET'S DO THIS THING AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.
YOU READY? all: YES.
- LET'S GO THEN.
- ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, THIS WAY.
- EVERYTHING AT THE AUCTION TODAY IS ALL INSIDE.
- IT'S A LABYRINTH OF HALLWAYS AND MAZES AND DARK SPACES, SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING, YOU'RE GONNA GET LOST.
- IT'S DARK.
IT'S DIRTY.
THE PEOPLE STINK.
AND IT'S KIND OF THROWING ME OFF MY GAME A LITTLE BIT.
- [imitates rattling.]
[overlapping chatter.]
- HOLY MOLEY.
- IT'S FULL.
- FOLKS, IT'S PACKED, STACKED, AND, BABY, IT'S ALL THAT.
WE GOT A 10x20 HERE, FOLKS.
- I STARTED LOOKING AROUND, AND A LOT OF THE PRODUCT IS ALL-NEW AND STILL IN THE BOX.
- RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I SEE SOME CAMPING GEAR, SOME SLEEPING BAGS, A TACKLE BOX.
- THIS IS A UNIT THAT WE'RE GONNA GO FOR.
- THE FIRST THING I NOTICE IN THE BACK CORNER IS AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF FISHING RODS.
- FROM MY EXPERIENCE, I KNOW THESE ARE SPLIT BAMBOO POLES.
- SPLIT BAMBOO RODS TAKE OVER A HUNDRED HOURS TO CONSTRUCT.
THEY'RE VALUED AT 3,000 BUCKS.
- THIS COULD BE AN ENTIRE SPORTING GOODS STORE.
WHERE THERE'S SMOKE, THERE'S FIRE.
- YOU WATCH.
DAVE HESTER AND JARROD'LL BOTH BE BIDDING ON THIS ONE.
SO WILL I.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS THING RIGHT NOW.
AND HERE WE GO.
[auctioneering.]
GIVE ME $200.
NOW $300.
WE'RE GOIN' UP.
- I GOT $300, $300, $400.
[auctioneering.]
- YEAH.
- [auctioneering.]
- I GOT $700 FOR JARROD.
$800 THERE.
- YEAH! - DARRELL'S COMING OUT SWINGING, BUT I'M TAKING HIM TO THE LIMIT WITH THIS ONE.
- YEAH! - I WANT THIS UNIT RIGHT HERE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DAVE AND DARRELL ARE TRYING TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE EQUATION HERE.
- I GOT $1,100, DAVE.
[auctioneering.]
$1,300 NOW.
$1,400.
- I'M GONNA GO WITH THIS LOCKER, AND I'M GONNA RUN IT UP TO WHERE I THINK I WON'T LOSE ON THE LOCKER.
- I GOT $1,400.
$1,500 GOING ONCE.
$1,400.
$1,500 GOING TWICE.
- YEAH.

AND $1,700 NOW.
THIS IS GETTING UGLY.
[auctioneering.]
AND $1,700 RIGHT THERE.
- YUP! - $1,800 GOING ONCE.
$1,700 AND $1,800.
I GOT $1,800 GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, AND LAST AND FINAL CALL.
[auctioneering.]
SOLD IT YOUR WAY.
$1,800, DAVE.
$1,800.
DAVE, YOU BOUGHT AT $1,800.
IT WAS A LONG, DRAWN-OUT BATTLE ON THIS UNIT.
DAVE WAS THE WINNER.
TOP BID.
HE GOT IT.
HOPEFULLY, HE'LL DO WELL WITH THAT.
BUT HE CERTAINLY HAD TO STEP UP TO THE PUMP AND PAY FOR THIS ONE.
- AND I KNOW THAT DAVE HAD MENTIONED A LONG TIME AGO HE NEEDED A SALAD BAR SET.
EVERY THRIFT STORE'S GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THESE.
- I THINK DARRELL'S JUST BEING A SORE LOSER.
- ON BETTER GLANCE, IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE FISHING GEAR.
IT MIGHT BE SEWING MATERIAL FOR A COUCH.
[laughter.]
DAVE GETS THE FIRST LOCKER.
I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT.
WE'VE GOT THE WHOLE DAY TO GO.
LET DAVE HAVE IT.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE OFF TO THE SEE NEXT UNIT.
LET'S GO! [overlapping chatter.]
- THIS IS A POPPIN' DANDY GOOD-LOOKING UNIT HERE.
- A REAL POPPIN' DANDY.
WHOO! - PLEASE DO NOT GO INSIDE, FOLKS.
YOU CAN BEND IN, BUT DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
- IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S POTS AND PANS AND VHS TAPES.
THERE'S A DVD PLAYER.
THIS UNIT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUR STORE CAN REALLY BENEFIT FROM.
- QUIET AS A MOUSE IN HERE.
THAT TELLS ME SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE.
- BRAND-NEW.
- SO THEY WERE THIEVES.
- CD, DVD.
THAT MEANS THIS IS PROBABLY BRAND-NEW.
THIS IS BRAND-NEW.
- HOLY MOLEY.
- REEKS OF QUALITY.
- I CAN TELL.
- YOU KNOW, THIS ONE'S GOT SOME POTENTIAL.
THE ONE DAVE BOUGHT FOR $1,900 WAS A GOOD-LOOKING ROOM.
THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD-LOOKING ROOM.
- I THINK THIS IS OUR UNIT.
- NOT A LOT OF - HMM I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER SAID THAT.
BRANDI REALLY LIKES THIS UNIT.
I DO TOO, SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO WIN THIS ONE.
I'M GONNA LET BRANDI BID ON THIS UNIT, 'CAUSE WHENEVER I BID ON A UNIT, DARRELL, DAVE, THOSE GUYS, THEY JUST BID ME UP, JUST 'CAUSE I WANT IT.
MIGHT BE ABLE TO SNEAK ONE BY 'EM.
- THUMBS UP.
I'M READY TO GO.
HERE WE GO.
[auctioneering.]
$300.
- YEP! - [auctioneering.]
$500, DARRELL.
I'VE GOT $400.
$600 GOING ONCE.
AND $700 GOING TWICE.
BRANDI'S BIDDING VERY AGGRESSIVELY, AND I JUST DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S REALLY NOTICING HER BIDDING.
I'VE GOT $600, $700.
[auctioneering.]
- YEAH.
- YEAH.
- I'VE GOT $700, $800.
- ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR THIS SQUEAKY VOICE COMING OUT OF THE CROWD.
IT'S A WOMAN BIDDING.
WHAT IS THAT? - [auctioneering.]
$800 HERE.
NOW $900.
$800, $900.
$900 GOING ONCE.
$800 - WHO'S GOT THE BID? - GOING TWICE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL.
YOUR WIFE.
- WHAT? - SOLD IT, AND YOU GET IT FOR 800 BUCKS.
YOU'RE A LOT BETTER BIDDER THAN YOUR OLD MAN.
- SHE'S JARROD'S WIFE? IF JARROD WAS BIDDING, I WOULD HAVE BID.
- HOW'S THAT FEEL? - GREAT.
IT'S OUR FIRST ONE OF THE DAY.
- ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S IT.
- THAT'S WHY I SENT HER IN THERE, SO YOU GUYS WOULDN'T BID AGAINST HER.
- I AM NOT USUALLY A BIDDER ON THE UNITS, SO I THINK THAT KIND OF THREW PEOPLE OFF A LITTLE BIT.
- JARROD GOT US THAT TIME, BUT I'LL GUARANTEE YOU.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
HE'S EXPOSED.
- WHILE EVERYBODY MOVES ON TO THE NEXT AUCTION, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO OUR UNIT AND TAKE A FIRST LOOK AT IT.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS STUFF BACK TO THE SHOP, GET A LOOK IN THESE BOXES, AND SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN THERE SO WE CAN GET 'EM OPEN AND GET 'EM PRICED AND SEE WHAT'S IN THERE.
BRANDI NOTICES A SAFE RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
I LOVE SAFES.
THAT'S MY THING.
I'VE PROBABLY OPENED ABOUT 15 SAFES OR LOCKBOXES SINCE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS.
THE FIRST ONE TOOK ME ABOUT 25 MINUTES.
NOW I CAN OPEN 'EM IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS.
- NICE.
- AND IT'S NOTHING BUT PAPERS.
THERE'S NOTHING IN IT BUT PAPERS.
MAYBE THIS UNIT ISN'T AS GREAT AS I THOUGHT.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE MOVING ON, FOLKS.
WE'RE DONE HERE.
WE'RE GOING THERE.
- YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING WARMED UP.
MY BREAKFAST IS SETTLED.
I'M REALLY WAITING FOR THE LOCKER TO POP UP WHERE I CAN SHOW THESE GUYS WHAT A SAN DIEGO BOY DOES.
- IT'S GONNA BE A 5x10, BOYS AND GIRLS.
- ALL RIGHT, SHOW US A GOOD LOCKER.
- THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE AUCTION SALE HAS ARRIVED.
IT'S A SMALL UNIT, AND IT HAS JUST A CHEAP LITTLE STOVE IN THERE AND AN ARMOIRE AND JUST A FEW MISCELLANEOUS BOXES IN THERE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN AT ALL.
- I SEE A AN AVERAGE STOVE, AND ABOUT 12 TRUNKS INSIDE OF IT.
YOU KNOW, THIS LOCKER LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S GOT A THRIFT STORE RETAIL SHOP.
AND I'M LOOKING FOR THE WOW FACTOR.
IT'S REALLY NOT THE LOCKER FOR ME.
I'M NOT GONNA LET IT GO CHEAP.
- ALL RIGHTY, IF YOU'RE READY TO GO, I'M READY TO GO.
HERE WE GO, NUMBER 20.
WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? I GOT 100 AND I GOT 50 RIGHT THERE.
- 200.
- IF I KNOW MY DAD, I THINK HE'S JUST BIDDIN' SOMEBODY ELSE UP.
- [auctioneering.]
$250, $300 [auctioneering.]
$350 NOW, I GET 300 BUCKS? $350.
- I DON'T WANT THIS, BUT IF I KEEP RAISING THE PRICE AND MAKE THIS UNIT MORE EXPENSIVE $300.
IT'S LESS CASH FOR MY COMPETITION TO SPEND LATER.
- I GOT 300 BUCKS FOR CAPTAIN CHAOS.
$350.
I GOT 300 BUCKS.
[auctioneering.]
$300 GOING ONCE, 300 BUCKS.
$350, $400 NOW.
[auctioneering.]
$425.
I'VE GOT $350.
I GOT 400 BUCKS, 450.
- I THINK I CAN GET IT UP TO $500 OR $600.
- I GOT 400 BUCKS AND $450.
$450 GOING ONCE.
I'VE GOT 400 BUCKS, $450, $450 GOIN' TWICE.
[auctioneering.]
AT 400 BUCKS, $450.
$450.
THE LAST AND FINAL CALL.
SOLD YOUR WAY FOR 400 BIG BUCKS, DARRELL.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I BLEW IT.
- GOOD EYE, DARRELL.
GOOD EYE.
GOOD BUY, GOOD BUY.
[background chatter.]
- [laughing.]
IT LOOKS LIKE DARRELL'S PLAN BACKFIRED ON HIM.
- WELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.
THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE BUSINESS IS I WAS KINDA JUST RUNNIN' HIM UP AND MAKIN' HIM PAY FOR IT AND DAN KINDA DROPPED IT ON ME, AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
- OH, LOOKS ALL RIGHT.
- YEAH.
IT'S JUST STUFF.
ACCIDENT OR NOT, I BOUGHT THE LOCKER, AND THAT'S PART OF THE ADDICTION IN THIS BUSINESS.
AND EVERY LOCKER I BUY, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME AND LOOK IN IT, 'CAUSE EVERY DAY'S LIKE CHRISTMAS.
- OKAY.
SO $840'S YOUR TOTAL.
IF I CAN GET YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND A SIGNATURE ON THAT LINE, AND A PHONE NUMBER ANYWHERE ON THERE'S FINE.
GOOD LUCK.
YOU'RE GONNA GET SOME EXTRA TIME IN THERE.
$840.
THANK YOU, LOVE.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
GOOD LUCK, HONEY.
ALL RIGHT.
- NOW THAT WE'RE DONE SETTLING UP FOR THE BILL, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO OUR UNIT.
WE'RE GONNA GET IN THERE, WE'RE GONNA GET OUR HANDS DIRTY, AND WE'RE GONNA FIND SOMETHING.

AT 3.
25 APIECE, $1,358.
50, MAN.
SO - THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT THERE.
IS IT LIKE FINDING TREASURE? WELL, LET ME SEE.
THE PIRATES AND EVERYBODY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THEMSELVES ALL THEIR LIFE FOR GOLD AND SILVER, SO THAT'S AS CLOSE TO TREASURE AS YOU'RE EVER GONNA GET IN THIS BUSINESS.
I'M GONNA FIND SOMEONE.
I'M GONNA TAKE IT IN.
I'M GONNA GET THIS COIN COLLECTION APPRAISED.
- NOW I'M BACK AT THE STORE, NEWPORT CONSIGNMENT GALLERY IN RAGS TO RICHES THRIFT STORE.
I'M IN THE FINAL PHASE OF PROCESSING THE TWO ROOMS I BOUGHT AT CERRITOS.
COULD BE AN ENTIRE SPORTING GOOD STORE, FOR ALL I KNOW.
BRING 'EM DOWN, GUYS.
GO, LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
HERE WE HAVE A BUNCH OF HAND TOOLS THAT CAME OUT.
THAT'S $600.
COUPLE GUITARS THAT CAME OUT.
THERE'S PROBABLY $200 WORTH OF MERCHANDISE THERE AND THEN THERE'S A NIKON HERE THAT WE'LL PRICE FOR $150.
WE DID FIND A LOT OF FISHING EQUIPMENT, BRAND-NEW MERCHANDISE.
I THINK I'VE HIT IT BIG.
THREE'S GOTTA BE $400, $500, $600 WORTH OF MERCHANDISE JUST IN THESE BAGS.
- WE JUST HAVE A LITTLE VARIETY OF EVERYTHING HERE--FLY REELS.
I THINK THESE ARE ACTUALLY MINT IN THE BOX.

$4,100.
ONE HECK OF A SCORE.

- THANK YOU.
SHOOT, WE MADE $4,000.
THAT'S A HUGE PROFIT.
- YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD DAY.
- THAT'S WORTH TEN TIMES MORE THAN WHAT I PAID FOR THE WHOLE LOCKER.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA SELL IT.
IT'S AN INVESTMENT FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER ZOE, AND IT'S BETTER THAN MONEY IN THE BANK AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, 'CAUSE GOLD AND SILVER DOES NOTHIN' BUT GO UP.
- DAVE HESTER WAS THE BIG WINNER TODAY, SELLING HIS FISHING GEAR FOR 9,000 BUCKS.
DARRELL SHEETS BANKED $6,000.

- YEAH! - I WANT THIS UNIT RIGHT HERE, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE DAVE AND DARRELL ARE TRYING TO PUSH ME OUT OF THE EQUATION HERE.
- I GOT $1,100, DAVE.
[auctioneering.]
$1,300 NOW.
$1,400.
- I'M GONNA GO WITH THIS LOCKER, AND I'M GONNA RUN IT UP TO WHERE I THINK I WON'T LOSE ON THE LOCKER.
- I GOT $1,400.
$1,500 GOING ONCE.
$1,400.
$1,500 GOING TWICE.
- YEAH.
- $1,600.
AND $1,700 NOW.
THIS IS GETTING UGLY.
[auctioneering.]
AND $1,700 RIGHT THERE.
- YUP! - $1,800 GOING ONCE.
$1,700 AND $1,800.
I GOT $1,800 GOING ONCE, GOING TWICE, AND LAST AND FINAL CALL.
[auctioneering.]
SOLD IT YOUR WAY.
$1,800, DAVE.
$1,800.
DAVE, YOU BOUGHT AT $1,800.
IT WAS A LONG, DRAWN-OUT BATTLE ON THIS UNIT.
DAVE WAS THE WINNER.
TOP BID.
HE GOT IT.
HOPEFULLY, HE'LL DO WELL WITH THAT.
BUT HE CERTAINLY HAD TO STEP UP TO THE PUMP AND PAY FOR THIS ONE.
- AND I KNOW THAT DAVE HAD MENTIONED A LONG TIME AGO HE NEEDED A SALAD BAR SET.
EVERY THRIFT STORE'S GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THESE.
- I THINK DARRELL'S JUST BEING A SORE LOSER.
- ON BETTER GLANCE, IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE FISHING GEAR.
IT MIGHT BE SEWING MATERIAL FOR A COUCH.
[laughter.]
DAVE GETS THE FIRST LOCKER.
I'M NOT TOO WORRIED ABOUT IT.
WE'VE GOT THE WHOLE DAY TO GO.
LET DAVE HAVE IT.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE OFF TO THE SEE NEXT UNIT.
LET'S GO! [overlapping chatter.]
- THIS IS A POPPIN' DANDY GOOD-LOOKING UNIT HERE.
- A REAL POPPIN' DANDY.
WHOO! - PLEASE DO NOT GO INSIDE, FOLKS.
YOU CAN BEND IN, BUT DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING.
- IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S POTS AND PANS AND VHS TAPES.
THERE'S A DVD PLAYER.
THIS UNIT LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUR STORE CAN REALLY BENEFIT FROM.
- QUIET AS A MOUSE IN HERE.
THAT TELLS ME SOMETHING'S GOING ON HERE.
- BRAND-NEW.
- SO THEY WERE THIEVES.
- CD, DVD.
THAT MEANS THIS IS PROBABLY BRAND-NEW.
THIS IS BRAND-NEW.
- HOLY MOLEY.
- REEKS OF QUALITY.
- I CAN TELL.
- YOU KNOW, THIS ONE'S GOT SOME POTENTIAL.
THE ONE DAVE BOUGHT FOR $1,900 WAS A GOOD-LOOKING ROOM.
THIS IS ANOTHER GOOD-LOOKING ROOM.
- I THINK THIS IS OUR UNIT.
- NOT A LOT OF - HMM I THINK THAT'S THE FIRST TIME YOU EVER SAID THAT.
BRANDI REALLY LIKES THIS UNIT.
I DO TOO, SO WE'RE GONNA TRY TO WIN THIS ONE.
I'M GONNA LET BRANDI BID ON THIS UNIT, 'CAUSE WHENEVER I BID ON A UNIT, DARRELL, DAVE, THOSE GUYS, THEY JUST BID ME UP, JUST 'CAUSE I WANT IT.
MIGHT BE ABLE TO SNEAK ONE BY 'EM.
- THUMBS UP.
I'M READY TO GO.
HERE WE GO.
[auctioneering.]
$300.
- YEP! - [auctioneering.]
$500, DARRELL.
I'VE GOT $400.
$600 GOING ONCE.
AND $700 GOING TWICE.
BRANDI'S BIDDING VERY AGGRESSIVELY, AND I JUST DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY'S REALLY NOTICING HER BIDDING.
I'VE GOT $600, $700.
[auctioneering.]
- YEAH.
- YEAH.
- I'VE GOT $700, $800.
- ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR THIS SQUEAKY VOICE COMING OUT OF THE CROWD.
IT'S A WOMAN BIDDING.
WHAT IS THAT? - [auctioneering.]
$800 HERE.
NOW $900.
$800, $900.
$900 GOING ONCE.
$800 - WHO'S GOT THE BID? - GOING TWICE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL.
YOUR WIFE.
- WHAT? - SOLD IT, AND YOU GET IT FOR 800 BUCKS.
YOU'RE A LOT BETTER BIDDER THAN YOUR OLD MAN.
- SHE'S JARROD'S WIFE? IF JARROD WAS BIDDING, I WOULD HAVE BID.
- HOW'S THAT FEEL? - GREAT.
IT'S OUR FIRST ONE OF THE DAY.
- ALL RIGHT.
THAT'S IT.
- THAT'S WHY I SENT HER IN THERE, SO YOU GUYS WOULDN'T BID AGAINST HER.
- I AM NOT USUALLY A BIDDER ON THE UNITS, SO I THINK THAT KIND OF THREW PEOPLE OFF A LITTLE BIT.
- JARROD GOT US THAT TIME, BUT I'LL GUARANTEE YOU.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
HE'S EXPOSED.
- WHILE EVERYBODY MOVES ON TO THE NEXT AUCTION, WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO OUR UNIT AND TAKE A FIRST LOOK AT IT.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THIS STUFF BACK TO THE SHOP, GET A LOOK IN THESE BOXES, AND SEE WHAT ELSE IS IN THERE SO WE CAN GET 'EM OPEN AND GET 'EM PRICED AND SEE WHAT'S IN THERE.
BRANDI NOTICES A SAFE RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
I LOVE SAFES.
THAT'S MY THING.
I'VE PROBABLY OPENED ABOUT 15 SAFES OR LOCKBOXES SINCE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS.
THE FIRST ONE TOOK ME ABOUT 25 MINUTES.
NOW I CAN OPEN 'EM IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS.
- NICE.
- AND IT'S NOTHING BUT PAPERS.
THERE'S NOTHING IN IT BUT PAPERS.
MAYBE THIS UNIT ISN'T AS GREAT AS I THOUGHT.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE MOVING ON, FOLKS.
WE'RE DONE HERE.
WE'RE GOING THERE.
- YOU KNOW, I'M GETTING WARMED UP.
MY BREAKFAST IS SETTLED.
I'M REALLY WAITING FOR THE LOCKER TO POP UP WHERE I CAN SHOW THESE GUYS WHAT A SAN DIEGO BOY DOES.
- IT'S GONNA BE A 5x10, BOYS AND GIRLS.
- ALL RIGHT, SHOW US A GOOD LOCKER.
- THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE AUCTION SALE HAS ARRIVED.
IT'S A SMALL UNIT, AND IT HAS JUST A CHEAP LITTLE STOVE IN THERE AND AN ARMOIRE AND JUST A FEW MISCELLANEOUS BOXES IN THERE.
IT'S SOMETHING THAT I'M NOT INTERESTED IN AT ALL.
- I SEE A AN AVERAGE STOVE, AND ABOUT 12 TRUNKS INSIDE OF IT.
YOU KNOW, THIS LOCKER LOOKS LIKE IT WOULD BE GOOD FOR SOMEBODY THAT'S GOT A THRIFT STORE RETAIL SHOP.
AND I'M LOOKING FOR THE WOW FACTOR.
IT'S REALLY NOT THE LOCKER FOR ME.
I'M NOT GONNA LET IT GO CHEAP.
- ALL RIGHTY, IF YOU'RE READY TO GO, I'M READY TO GO.
HERE WE GO, NUMBER 20.
WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? I GOT 100 AND I GOT 50 RIGHT THERE.
- 200.
- IF I KNOW MY DAD, I THINK HE'S JUST BIDDIN' SOMEBODY ELSE UP.
- [auctioneering.]
$250, $300 [auctioneering.]
$350 NOW, I GET 300 BUCKS? $350.
- I DON'T WANT THIS, BUT IF I KEEP RAISING THE PRICE AND MAKE THIS UNIT MORE EXPENSIVE $300.
IT'S LESS CASH FOR MY COMPETITION TO SPEND LATER.
- I GOT 300 BUCKS FOR CAPTAIN CHAOS.
$350.
I GOT 300 BUCKS.
[auctioneering.]
$300 GOING ONCE, 300 BUCKS.
$350, $400 NOW.

$450 GOING ONCE.
I'VE GOT 400 BUCKS, $450, $450 GOIN' TWICE.
[auctioneering.]
AT 400 BUCKS, $450.
$450.
THE LAST AND FINAL CALL.
SOLD YOUR WAY FOR 400 BIG BUCKS, DARRELL.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I BLEW IT.
- GOOD EYE, DARRELL.
GOOD EYE.
GOOD BUY, GOOD BUY.
[background chatter.]
- [laughing.]
IT LOOKS LIKE DARRELL'S PLAN BACKFIRED ON HIM.
- WELL, THIS IS ONE OF THE NATURE OF THE BEAST.
THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE BUSINESS IS I WAS KINDA JUST RUNNIN' HIM UP AND MAKIN' HIM PAY FOR IT AND DAN KINDA DROPPED IT ON ME, AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT.
- OH, LOOKS ALL RIGHT.
- YEAH.
IT'S JUST STUFF.
ACCIDENT OR NOT, I BOUGHT THE LOCKER, AND THAT'S PART OF THE ADDICTION IN THIS BUSINESS.
AND EVERY LOCKER I BUY, I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME AND LOOK IN IT, 'CAUSE EVERY DAY'S LIKE CHRISTMAS.
- OKAY.
SO $840'S YOUR TOTAL.
IF I CAN GET YOUR PHONE NUMBER AND A SIGNATURE ON THAT LINE, AND A PHONE NUMBER ANYWHERE ON THERE'S FINE.
GOOD LUCK.
YOU'RE GONNA GET SOME EXTRA TIME IN THERE.
$840.
THANK YOU, LOVE.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.

IS IT LIKE FINDING TREASURE? WELL, LET ME SEE.
THE PIRATES AND EVERYBODY HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THEMSELVES ALL THEIR LIFE FOR GOLD AND SILVER, SO THAT'S AS CLOSE TO TREASURE AS YOU'RE EVER GONNA GET IN THIS BUSINESS.
I'M GONNA FIND SOMEONE.
I'M GONNA TAKE IT IN.
I'M GONNA GET THIS COIN COLLECTION APPRAISED.
- NOW I'M BACK AT THE STORE, NEWPORT CONSIGNMENT GALLERY IN RAGS TO RICHES THRIFT STORE.
I'M IN THE FINAL PHASE OF PROCESSING THE TWO ROOMS I BOUGHT AT CERRITOS.

COUPLE GUITARS THAT CAME OUT.
THERE'S PROBABLY $200 WORTH OF MERCHANDISE THERE AND THEN THERE'S A NIKON HERE THAT WE'LL PRICE FOR $150.

I THINK THESE ARE ACTUALLY MINT IN THE BOX.

- THANK YOU.
SHOOT, WE MADE $4,000.
THAT'S A HUGE PROFIT.
- YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD DAY.
- THAT'S WORTH TEN TIMES MORE THAN WHAT I PAID FOR THE WHOLE LOCKER.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA SELL IT.
IT'S AN INVESTMENT FOR MY GRANDDAUGHTER ZOE, AND IT'S BETTER THAN MONEY IN THE BANK AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, 'CAUSE GOLD AND SILVER DOES NOTHIN' BUT GO UP.
- DAVE HESTER WAS THE BIG WINNER TODAY, SELLING HIS FISHING GEAR FOR 9,000 BUCKS.
DARRELL SHEETS BANKED $6,000.
JARROD AND BRANDI SOLD THEIR BRAND-NEW ELECTRONICS FOR A PROFIT OF 2,300 BUCKS.
