- DAVE HESTER'S OUT HERE.
HE'S RUNNING AROUND SAYING THAT NO ONE'S GETTING NOTHING.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA LET THAT HAPPEN.
- WHENEVER I SEE THESE GUYS SHOW UP AND THEY'RE WAVING THEIR MONEY AROUND LIKE THIS, I CAN ALREADY TELL THAT THEY'RE A LITTLE RAMBUNCTIOUS THIS MORNING.
THAT'S GREAT FOR ME.
I MEAN, THAT'S A SIGN OF THEIR WEAKNESS.
THEY'RE GONNA OVERSPEND.
HOPEFULLY I CAN SNEAK RIGHT IN AND STEAL A COUPLE OF UNITS.
- SO I ARRIVE AT THE AUCTION IN HUNTINGTON BEACH.
I DON'T HAVE A SIDEKICK TODAY.
BUT I FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT.
I GOT A GUT FEELING THAT I'M GONNA RUN INTO SOMETHING GOOD.
- ALL RIGHT, BOYS AND GIRLS, GONNA HAVE AN AUCTION SALE.
I'M DAN AND LAURA WITH AMERICAN AUCTIONEERS.
THE RULES OF THE AUCTION ARE AS FOLLOWS.
WE'RE GONNA REMOVE THE LOCK SEALS.
WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOOR.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU FIVE MINUTES TO TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
SOON AS YOU'RE DONE LOOKING, WE'RE GONNA GO AHEAD AND SELL IT TO WHOEVER'S GOT THE MOST CASH IN THEIR POCKET.

- OH, HERE WE GO.
- I SEE A RECEPTION COUNTER HERE.
SEE A BEAT UP LITTLE CHAIR, A BEAUTY SALON CHAIR.
THIS MERCHANDISE IS THRASHED.
IT IS DEFINITELY NOT FOR ME.
- WHAT IS THAT? - STUFF FROM A HAIR SALON.
YOU SEE THESE? LOOK.
- BRANDI'S POINTING OUT SALON CHAIRS IN THIS UNIT.
LOOKS LIKE SHE'S PRETTY EXCITED.
ALL I SEE ARE EMPTY CABINETS AND HEAVY LIFTING.
- LAST TIME I BOUGHT AN APPLIANCE, THERE WAS A REAL HUMAN KIDNEY ON ICE IN IT AND ACTUALLY-- NO, NO, NO, NO! YOU KNOW WHAT A KIDNEY GOES FOR NOW? DON'T LAUGH.
SO I GOT A PRETTY GOOD FEELING ABOUT THIS ONE.
I'M GONNA KIND OF PLAY IT COOL.
I'LL SEE WHAT THE OPENING BID AMOUNTS TO.
- YOU CAN SEE IN THE CABINETS AND YOU CAN SEE IN THE DRAWERS, AND THEY'RE ALL EMPTY.
- WHICH IS FINE.
THAT FURNITURE IS WORTH MONEY.
JARROD HAS NO INTEREST IN THIS UNIT, BUT WE'RE GONNA BID ON IT.
I DON'T CARE WHAT HE SAYS.
THE CHAIRS ALONE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS.
- BRANDI WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT THIS UNIT.
I DON'T SEE ANY REAL VALUE IN IT, BUT I'M GONNA BID ON IT JUST TO KEEP HER QUIET FOR A MINUTE.

BARRY, YOU'RE THE WINNER.
- WELL, THE TWO LOVEBIRDS ARE OVER THERE.
THIS TIME THEY WERE QUARRELING, WHICH WAS GOOD, 'CAUSE THEY WERE KIND OF DISTRACTED.
- BRANDI MIGHT BE A LITTLE BIT UPSET WE DIDN'T GET THAT UNIT, BUT I'M HAPPY, 'CAUSE I DIDN'T WANT THAT CRAP.
- THIS IS THE LAST ONE.
IT'S AN 8 BY 20.
I HOPE IT'S A GOOD ONE.
- PULL.
[crowd ohs.]

I SEE SOME CLEANING EQUIPMENT AND SOME APPLIANCES.
SO I THINK TO MYSELF THERE'S DEFINITELY A BUCK TO BE MADE HERE.
- YOU GOT A BUNCH OF MADE-IN-CHINA TOOLS IN HERE AND YOU GOT A TRAILER AND-- - YEAH, WATCH.
HE'LL BE BIDDING ON IT, MAN.
"BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.
" YOU KNOW, WHEN DAVE'S REALLY INTERESTED IN SOMETHING, HE STARTS CRITICIZING IT AND TRYING TO MAKE IT LOOK BAD.
- WELL, MADE IN CHINA.
- DAVE WANTS THIS THING.
IT'S GONNA COST HIM, BECAUSE I WANT IT TOO.
- I DON'T KNOW.
I'M NOT SURE.
THEY THINK I'M NOT INTERESTED, BUT I'M INTERESTED.
BUT I'VE GOT MY OWN SET OF TRICKS.
THIS UNIT OPENS UP AND THERE'S A BRAND-NEW, NEVER-USED AUTO DETAILING TRAILER.
I WANT IT.
I HOPE DARRELL DOESN'T DRIVE THE PRICE ON ME.
- I CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT I THINK IS A DETAILING TRAILER.
I'M GONNA BID ON IT, BUT IF DAVE OR DARRELL WANT IT, THEY GOT MORE MONEY IN THEIR POCKET THAN ME.
- THIS ONE'S GONNA BE INTERESTING.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE A LOT OF TRASH.
I'M GONNA KIND OF STEP BACK AND SEE WHO'S INTERESTED IN THE UNIT AND MAYBE I CAN GET IT FOR CHEAP.
- I SEE LOTS OF NICE BOXES STACKED IN THERE.
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE COLLECTIBLES.
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE CHRISTMAS STUFF OR JUST JUNKY OLD HOUSEWARE ITEMS.
- THIS ONE, I THINK I'LL PASS ON, BUT, HEY, YOU NEVER KNOW.
- I DON'T SEE A LOT HERE.
IT'S A MEDIOCRE UNIT.
SOMETIMES YOU CAN GET PEOPLE TO BID JUST BY ACTING INTERESTED IN A UNIT.
I'M NOT INTERESTED, BUT I'M GONNA ACT LIKE I'M INTERESTED.
LET'S SEE WHO I CAN SUCKER INTO BUYING THIS ONE.

I CAN'T BE MORE RELIEVED.

DAVE DROPPED IT ON ME, SO I'M GONNA DIG THROUGH IT AND SEE IF I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK.

- AMAZING WHEN THEY GET JEALOUS LIKE THAT AND THEY JUST CAN'T STAND THE OTHER GUY WINNING.
- JUST A YOUNG KID THAT HAD SOME BASEBALL CARD COLLECTION.
- DAVE DUMPED THIS LOCKER ON ME, BUT SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE.
IT'S GOT A SPORTS MEMORABILIA COLLECTION IN IT AND I'M LOVING IT.
THAT'S JUST GOBS AND GOBS OF SPORTS MEMORABILIA.
GREAT LOCKER.
WELL, HERE'S A SAN FRANCISCO - HERE'S ANOTHER SIGNED BASEBALL.
narrator: IN 2009, A BASEBALL SIGNED BY BABE RUTH SOLD FOR OVER $15,000.
- I'M HAPPY WITH IT.
YOU KNOW, THE WORD'S ALREADY OUT IN OUR SMALL CIRCLE.
"DARRELL GOT A GOOD LOCKER.
" AND THEY'RE COMING OVER AND CHECKING IT OUT REAL SLYLY.
I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW BY THE AMOUNT OF BOXES AND STUFF IN HERE, I'M GONNA GET MY MONEY BACK NO PROBLEM AND THAT'S WHY I'M IN THIS BUSINESS.
SO, AMERICA, PAY YOUR RENT OR I'M GONNA OWN YOUR STUFF.
- I GOT THIS LOCKER FOR $275 AND I CAN'T WAIT TO GO THROUGH IT AND SEE IF MY HUNCH WAS RIGHT.
BUT I CAN'T EVEN GET INSIDE UNTIL I GET SOME OF THIS STUFF OUT.
[groans.]
[bleep.]
ME.
TODAY, I DON'T HAVE ANYBODY AT ALL HELPING ME AND THERE'S SOME HEAVY STUFF IN HERE.
DON'T WANT TO BREAK THIS MIRROR.
[thud.]
OH.
[bleep.]
BROKE IT.
AHH.
[groans.]
[bleep.]
.
[bleep.]
THING'S HEAVY.
I'M MOVING REFRIGERATORS AND HAIR SALON STATIONS AND IT'S NOT EASY.
[chuckles.]
THIS IS DANGEROUS WORK.
AT THIS POINT, IT'S A DISASTER, 'CAUSE I'M NOT FINDING ANYTHING GOOD.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHAT'S THIS? HERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S BUBBLE-WRAPPED.
THIS A BENCH OR A-- I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S-- I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT IT IS.
CHECK IT OUT.
WOW.
HA! LOOKS LIKE A TOY PIANO.
OH.
WHA-- LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A BABY BABY GRAND, BABY.
AND IT'S JUST WAY TOO DETAILED FOR THIS TO BE A CHILD'S TOY.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT I WANT TO BE REAL CAREFUL WITH.
I'M GONNA HAVE MY GUYS COME AND THEY'LL, UH-- THEY'LL GO THROUGH THE REST OF THIS STUFF.
AND, UH, THIS-- THIS IS GOING WITH ME TODAY.
I'M GONNA TAKE THIS PIANO TO GET IT APPRAISED AND THIS COULD BE VERY VALUABLE OR IT COULD TURN OUT TO BE JUST A DOLLHOUSE TOY.
- I SPENT $3,900 ON THIS LOCKER.
I'M NOT QUITE SURE IF I GOT A GOOD DEAL OR NOT, BUT MY BUDDY PAT KINCAID IS 6'6", OF PURE AUTOMOTIVE KNOWLEDGE, SO I'M GONNA BRING HIM IN AND SEE WHAT HIS OPINION IS.
I GOT THIS TRAILER AND I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF I MADE A GOOD BUY OR A BAD BUY.
- IT'S DEFINITELY A DETAILING TRAILER.
- DETAILING TRAILER? OKAY.
- I MEAN, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT YOUR PRESSURE WASHER, YOUR HOLDING TANK, YOUR VACUUM PUMP.
DEFINITELY BRAND-NEW.
- WELL, HERE'S THE BIG QUESTION.
I MEAN, I PAID $3,900 FOR IT.
- 39? YOU DEFINITELY WILL GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THAT.
- YEAH.
- DEFINITELY.
I MEAN, THESE THINGS PROBABLY START OUT AT $5,500 AND GO UP TO 10 GRAND.
- I COULD PROBABLY ASK $5,900 FOR THIS AND MAKE A COUPLE THOUSAND FOR IT? - OH, DEFINITELY.
OH, YEAH, DEFINITELY.
- WELL, I APPRECIATE YOU COMING OUT AND LETTING ME KNOW WHAT I GOT HERE.
- NO PROBLEM, BRO.
I'LL SEE YOU AND I'LL TALK TO YOU LATER.
- BASED ON WHAT BIG PAT TOLD ME, I THINK I MADE A GREAT BUY.
I'M GONNA PUT THIS EQUIPMENT IN FRONT OF MY STORE.
I THINK IT'LL GO FAST.
OKAY, LET'S GET ON TO THE NEXT DEAL.
- DAVE DUMPED A LOCKER ON ME AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE A WHOLE BUNCH OF SPORTS MEMORABILIA STUFF, SO BRANDON AND I ARE GOING TO GET IT CHECKED OUT.
HEY.
HOW'S IT GOING? I'M DARRELL.
I CALLED YOU LAST NIGHT.
- MY NAME IS RICHARD LOSCALZO.
I STARTED ALL STAR CARDS HERE IN LOS ANGELES IN 1990.
- UH, LET'S JUST GO THROUGH IT.
- OKAY.
SOUNDS GREAT TO ME.
DEREK JETER.
UH, THIS BALL I WOULD SELL FOR $400.
HARMON KILLEBREW, ABOUT $100.
WILLIE MCCOVEY, HALL OF FAME, ABOUT $150 TO $200.
I WOULD TRY TO RETAIL IT ABOUT $1,200, $1,300.
- OKAY.
HE TELLS ME THAT THIS BOX IS WORTH ABOUT $1,300.
WE'RE ONE BOX IN AND I'M ALREADY MAKING MONEY.
LET'S GO TO SOMETHING REAL EASY HERE.
- THIS IS A 1960 CARL YASTRZEMSKI ROOKIE.
THIS IS WORTH ABOUT $200.
HERE'S A MANNY RAMIREZ SIGNATURE.
PROBABLY WORTH ABOUT 75 BUCKS.
DAVID ORTIZ.
$75.
- PUT A VALUE ON THIS FOR ME, WOULD YOU? - $1,000 TO 1,200 BUCKS.
- BRANDON, YOU WANT TO BOX THESE UP? AND LET'S GET YOU ANOTHER BOX, HUH? ANOTHER 1,200 BUCKS AND THIS IS GREAT.
I SAVED THE BEST THING FOR LAST: A SIGNED BASKETBALL.
YOU TAKE A PEEK AT THAT AND SEE IF YOU RECOGNIZE ANY OF THE SIGNATURES OFF OF THAT.
- SHAQ IS RIGHT HERE.
"KOBE 8.
" MOST OF THE TIME, BACK IN THE DAY, SHAQ AND KOBE DID NOT LIKE TO SIGN TOGETHER.
- NOT ONLY IS IT A LAKERS SIGNED BALL, BUT IT'S GOT SHAQUILLE O'NEAL AND KOBE BRYANT.
THIS IS A RARE BALL.
- I'D PROBABLY SELL THIS FOR $500, $600.
- TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK YOU'D RETAIL ALL THIS FOR.
- PROBABLY ABOUT 1,000 BUCKS.
- THE LAST BOX IS ANOTHER THAT'S $3,500 ALL TOGETHER.
CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF HERE AND CELEBRATE.
- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
- APPRECIATE IT.
- THANKS FOR THE EDUCATION.
I APPRECIATE IT.
- MINUS WHAT WE PAID FOR THE LOCKER, WE'RE UP $2,700.
THIS WAS A SCORE.
- YESTERDAY, I BOUGHT A LOCKER ON A HUNCH AND THERE WAS THIS LITTLE PIANO IN IT, WHICH I HAVE A FEELING MAY BE WORTH QUITE A BIT.
WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT TO A FRIEND OF MINE WHO'S AN EXPERT ON THESE THINGS AND FIND OUT WHAT IT'S WORTH.
- YOU KNOW, YOU WERE DESCRIBING THIS THING TO ME ON THE PHONE.
I'M VERY CURIOUS TO SEE IT.
OKAY.
- OKAY, YOU GOT IT? - YEAH, I GOT IT.
- GREAT.
- IT'S MARSHALL & WENDELL.
THEY BRING THEM TO STORES LIKE OURS TO TRY TO SELL US ON BUYING, YOU KNOW, THIS PARTICULAR STYLE OF PIANO.
- THIS WAS SORT OF YOUR POWERPOINT PRESENTATION OF 1928.
- YEAH, IN A WAY IT WAS.
EXCEPT 3-D.
PEOPLE FIND THESE THINGS ALL THE TIME.
UM, THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY OF THEM MADE, BUT WHEN THEY FIND THEM THEY THINK THEY WERE SOME SORT OF TOY.
- WELL, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT IT WAS ACTUALLY.
- THE DETAILS ARE EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL PIANO, YOU KNOW, DOWN TO THE CARVINGS HERE AND THE WORK ON THE LEGS.
UH, YOU KNOW, THIS IS A KIND OF HONDURAS MAHOGANY THAT'S NO LONGER EVEN AVAILABLE FOR PIANOS.
THESE PIANOS FROM THAT AGE ALL GET THIS SORT OF PATINA THING GOING.
- YEAH.
- THEY'VE EVEN DONE THE CAST IRON PLATE IN HERE.
- I NEED FOR YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU ACTUALLY THINK IT'S WORTH.
- I WOULD GUESS THAT IF YOU WERE TO SELL THIS PIECE YOU COULD BE GETTING POSSIBLY $10,000, $12,000 TO THE RIGHT COLLECTOR.
- REALLY? THAT MUCH? - YEAH, YOU KNOW, IT'S RARE.
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO COLLECT SALESMEN SAMPLES.
- THIS IS ACTUALLY GREAT NEWS, BECAUSE WHEN I FIRST SAW IT, I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CHILD'S TOY PIANO.
I KNEW I HAD STUMBLED ONTO SOMETHING PRETTY COOL, BUT I HAD NO IDEA IT HAD THAT KIND OF VALUE.
- YEAH, IT'S AN AMAZING PIECE.
- I BOUGHT THAT LOCKER 'CAUSE I JUST HAD A GOOD GUT FEELING ABOUT IT AND IT TURNS OUT, IT HAD A $12,000 BABY GRAND PIANO IN IT, SO I THINK I'M GONNA TRUST THIS GUT A LITTLE MORE OFTEN.
VOILA.
- THERE IT IS.
BEAUTIFUL.
narrator: THE SURPRISE WINNER WAS BARRY WEISS, LANDING A SALESMEN SAMPLE PIANO WORTH $12,000.
DARRELL SHEETS UNCOVERED A COLLECTION OF SPORTS MEMORABILIA WORTH 2,600 BUCKS.
DAVE SOLD HIS DETAILING TRAILER FOR A PROFIT OF $2,000.
JARROD AND BRANDI SAVED THEIR CASH FOR ANOTHER DAY.
- DAVE DOES THAT ALL THE TIME, RIGHT? JACKS UP THE PRICES, SO, I MEAN-- - HE DOES.
THE VERY FIRST AUCTION I WENT TO, DAVE WAS THERE AND HE DIDN'T LET ME BUY ANYTHING.
AND EITHER YOU WIN IT OR YOU DUMP IT ON THE OTHER PERSON.
EVERYTHING'S WORTH SOMETHING.
THERE'S ALWAYS A BIDDING WAR.
I JUST GOT TO WORK SMARTER.
- [whistles.]
- JUST LIKE PLAYING POKER.
YOU JUST START GOING ALL-IN JUST TO PUSH SOMEBODY AROUND, BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT IF THEY GO ALL-IN, YOU'RE GONNA TAKE 'EM OUT.
WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE A DOLLAR.
- YEAH, THAT'S THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN.
