HERE, LET ME GET THE LOCK.
- SO I'M EXCITED TO TAKE A LOOK.
SOMEBODY BOUGHT A BUNCH OF NEWSPAPERS.
- WOW.
- WHAT IS THIS? A SAFE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR.
THIS IS DO OR DIE.
- THIS IS THE WOW FACTOR.
- I'M NOT INTIMIDATED BY ANY BUYERS.
- CASH IS KING.
WINNER TAKES ALL.
- YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA BE BUYING.
- LET'S GO! LET'S GO! LET'S GO! - * MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN * MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN YEAH, YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
MONEY OWNS THIS TOWN - SOLD.
- TODAY WE'RE IN HOMELAND, CALIFORNIA, A QUIET RETIREMENT COMMUNITY EAST OF LOS ANGELES.
- RETIREES TEND TO HAVE A LOT OF OLDER THINGS, COLLECTIBLES, ANTIQUES, STUFF THAT I'M INTERESTED IN.
- BRANDI AND I ARE HERE TODAY BECAUSE WE NEED TO FILL OUR SHELVES.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR MAINLY HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND FURNITURE.
- WE'RE HOPING TO FIND MAYBE SOME ANTIQUES OR SOME FAMILY HEIRLOOMS.
[alarm chirps.]
- MY STORE IS FULL RIGHT NOW.
I'VE GOT PLENTY OF FURNITURE.
SO I'M GONNA FOCUS MORE ON LOOKING FOR SOME COLLECTIBLES.
- YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE BUYING A SENIOR CITIZEN'S LOCKER, YOU CAN FIND A LOT OF COOL OLD WAR SOUVENIRS, JEWELRY, AND ON THE OTHER HAND, YOU'RE GONNA GET NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF BABY POWDER AND BENGAY.
- ALL RIGHT, BOYS AND GIRLS.
WOULD YOU PAY ATTENTION RIGHT HERE? THE RULES OF THE STORAGE AUCTION ARE AS FOLLOWS.
THIS IS GONNA BE A CASH-ONLY SALE.
GONNA REMOVE THE LOCKS, OPEN THE DOOR.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO TAKE A LOOK.
YOU CAN'T TOUCH ANYTHING, YOU CAN'T OPEN ANY BOXES.
ARE YOU READY TO GO? - LET'S GO! - LET'S DO IT.
- ALL RIGHT.
LET'S DO IT.
- REALLY GLAD TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT TODAY.
KIND OF HAD THIS SHIRT PRINTED UP.
IT'S DAVE HESTER'S THRIFT STORE AND IT'S JARROD'S THRIFT STORE, AND IT SAYS "SUCKS," AND IT'S GOT MY EMAIL ON IT, AND I'M JUST HAVING GOOD, CLEAN FUN.
I SHOWED UP TO HOMELAND A LITTLE DIFFERENT TODAY.
FOR ALL THESE WEEKS NOW, I'VE HAD DAVE HESTER SHOVING HIS TRUCKS IN MY FACE, AND JARROD RUNNING HIS COMPANY SHIRTS ALL OVER HIS BACK AND HIS EMPLOYEES.
WELL, NOW IT'S MY TURN TO PLAY THE GAME.
YOU WANT TO TURN UP THE HEAT, I JUST TURNED IT UP.
- WHOA.
- WHOO! HERE WE GO.
I CAN SEE INSTANTLY THAT THIS IS SOME TYPE OF OLD PERSON.
THE SODA CRATES, THE ANTIQUE FURNITURE.
AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I COME TO HOMELAND.
- IT'S MOSTLY FURNITURE.
IT'S NOT REALLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR.
IT'S PROBABLY GONNA GO FOR ABOUT $1,000.
I THINK I'LL LEAVE THIS FOR THE POOPER SCOOPERS.
- THERE'S ALL TYPES OF ANTIQUITIES.
QUARTER-SAWED OAK FURNITURE.
QUARTER-SAWN OAK IS WHEN OAK IS SAWED ON THE BIAS, WHICH BRINGS OUT THE TIGER LOOKING STRIPES IN THE GRAIN.
FOR THAT REASON, IT'S ALSO CALLED TIGER OAK.
- THESE ARE SOLID PIECES IN HERE.
I LIKE THAT.
THE UNIT'S PACKED REALLY WELL.
I LIKE THAT TOO.
THIS IS DEFINITELY WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
- IT SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF ANTIQUES.
I SEE AN OLD DESK.
THERE'S QUITE A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN.
I THINK WE'RE DEFINITELY GONNA BE BIDDING ON THIS UNIT.
- I WANT MY SON BRANDON TO STEP UP AND BID ON THIS ONE.
MAYBE SOMEBODY'S GONNA EASE OFF BECAUSE HE'S ONE OF THE YOUNGER BIDDERS.
- BRANDON'S GOT A VERY CLEVER SHIRT ON TODAY.
NOBODY MAKES FUN OF ME.
I'M GONNA MAKE HIM PAY FOR IT.
- AND NOW HERE WE GO UP WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PAY? $100.
RIGHT THERE.
- YUP.
- 500.
FIVE RIGHT THERE.
- SIX.
- AND 600 - I'M SURE DARRELL'S COACHING BRANDON RIGHT NOW, BUT I NEED THIS UNIT MORE THAN THEY DO, SO IT'S ON.
YEP.
- EIGHT THERE.
GOT 850 FROM BRANDON.
NINE - BRANDON'S OVER THERE BIDDING VERY CONFIDENTLY.
HE'S RIGHT WHERE HE NEEDS TO BE.
HE KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING.
- 1,000 GOING ONCE, AND 1,000 GOING TWICE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL.
- BRANDON'S NOT GONNA GET THIS ROOM CHEAP.
- IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO PAY UP.
YEP.
- AND 1,000 THERE.
- JUST WHEN I THINK IT'S BETWEEN ME AND BRANDON, DAVE STEPS IN.
- YEP.
- I WOULDN'T TAKE THAT.
I'D GIVE IT RIGHT BACK.
- YEP.
- HALF, 1,150.
- YEP! - 12.
12 THERE.
I GOT 1,200, BID 1,250.
YES, NUMBER 13.
I GOT 12 - YEP! - [auctioneering.]
THANK YOU.
I'VE GOT 1,300 - I THINK WE'RE DONE.
- 1,400.
JARROD, WE'RE OUT.
I'VE GOT 1,350 GOING ONCE, AND 1,400 GOING TWICE.
AND LAST AND FINAL CALL AT 1,350.
- YEP! - 14 AND A HALF NOW.
- DON'T LOOK AT DADDY.
DON'T LOOK AT DADDY.
- 1,450.
LAST AND FINAL CALL AT 1,500 BUCKS.
BRANDON, YOU GOT IT FOR 1,450 BIG BUCKS.
[cash register dings.]
- I DIDN'T LIKE THIS ROOM AFTER 500, BUT SINCE YOU WORE SUCH A NICE SHIRT - BRANDON BEATS DAVE.
HE BEATS JARROD.
HE WON THE LOCKER.
I'M PROUD OF HIM.
- I'M OUTBID AGAIN.
I WENT HIGHER THAN I NORMALLY DO, AND I DON'T THINK I WOULD HAVE MADE A PROFIT, BUT I'M CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT'S INSIDE THERE.
- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE MOVING ON, FOLKS.
- WHOA.
THIS LOCKER IS FULL OF NEWSPAPERS.
- MY CURIOSITY IS UP, BECAUSE SOMEBODY HAS THESE NEWSPAPERS WRAPPED AND BANDED, SO I'M THINKING IT'S SOME TYPE OF COLLECTIBLE, SO I'M CURIOUS TO FIND OUT WHAT IT IS.
WORST CASE SCENARIO, IT'S WRAPPING MATERIAL FOR THE GLASSES AT MY STORE.
- ALL I SEE IS NEWSPAPER.
DAVE AND DARRELL MIGHT BE GOING FOR THIS UNIT.
THEY MIGHT BE ABLE TO TAKE A GAMBLE, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE LUXURY OF DOING THAT.
- IN MY EXPERIENCE, WHEN PEOPLE COLLECT OLD NEWSPAPERS, THERE'S NORMALLY SOME HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE.
THESE COULD BE VERY COLLECTIBLE.
I'M GONNA GO FOR THIS.
- BARRY, DO YOU SMELL THIS PAPER IN HERE? - NO, I DO.
- JUST SMELLS OLD, LIKE '70s.
- IT SMELLS LIKE IT'S THREE OR FOUR DECADES OLD.
- THE '70s SMELLS A LOT FUNKIER THAN THAT.
- ALL RIGHT, THEN LET'S DO THIS THING AND MAKE IT HAPPEN.
HOW MUCH MONEY WHERE? ARE YOU TWO? - YEP.
- NOW TWO AND A QUARTER.
I'VE GOT 225.
BID 250.
AND 250 THREE, THREE.
FOUR AND A HALF.
FOUR AND A HALF.
I GOT 400 BUCKS.
YOU IN? FOUR AND A HALF RIGHT THERE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL.
HE SAYS "HELL YES.
" IT'S 600 BUCKS.
I GOT 600 BUCKS.
BID 650.
- YES.
- 650 NOW SEVEN.
- NEWSPAPERS? 700 BUCKS? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? - I GOT SEVEN AND A HALF HERE.
ARE YOU BIDDING, SIR? SHAKING HIS HEAD NO.
- YEAH, I'M OUT.
I MEAN, THE PAPERS WE FOUND IN THERE, I CAN'T GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL AT 800 BUCKS DAVE, YOU GET IT FOR 750 BIG BUCKS, AND THANK YOU, MYSTERY SHOPPER.
ALL RIGHT? - NOPE, CAN'T GO IN THERE.
- I'M NOT GOING IN THERE, DAVID.
- THAT CONCLUDES OUR SALE, FOLKS.
- I'M HEADING HOME EMPTY-HANDED, BUT IT'S NOT A TOTAL LOSS.
I HEAR THERE'S A WILD BRIDGE TOURNAMENT DOWN THE STREET.
AND YOU KNOW BRIDGE.
IT'S A LOT LIKE SEX-- IF YOU DON'T HAVE A GREAT PARTNER, YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD HAND.
- COME ON, YOU GUYS.
WE GOT BUSINESS TO DO.
- DON'T [bleep.]
WAVE ME OFF.
- MOVE ALONG.
WE GO BACK TO LOOK AT THE LOCKER, AND WHAT DO I SEE? JARROD STANDING THERE.
IT'S LIKE, "MOVE ON, BROTHER.
" COME ON.
LET ME GET IN MY LOCKER.
- HEY, DARRELL, WE'RE NOT AT YOUR HOUSE, DUDE.
YOU AIN'T IN [bleep.]
CHARGE.
- WHAT, DO YOU THINK YOU'RE SOME GANGSTER, DUDE? I'M NOT IN CHARGE? YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO ME LIKE THAT, JARROD? - I'M GONNA [bleep.]
TALK TO YOU HOWEVER I WANT.
- I THINK YOU'RE MAKING AN IDIOT OUT OF YOURSELF.
YOU'RE STANDING HERE LIKE A LITTLE CHILD.
- HE MIGHT BE ABLE TO TALK TO HIS SON LIKE THAT, BUT HE AIN'T GONNA TALK TO ME LIKE THAT.
I'M A GROWN-ASS MAN.
- JARROD'S PISSING ME OFF.
I'M SICK OF THESE WANNA-BE AUCTION BUYERS.
I'M A PRO.
I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
ALL RIGHT HERE, LET ME GET THE LOCK.
I KNOW JARROD WANTED THAT LOCKER, BUT BRANDON GOT THE BID, AND IF YOU WANT TO LOOK IN OUR LOCKER, YOU'RE GONNA PAY ME OR YOU'RE GONNA OUTBID ME, BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING IN MY LOCKER TO LOOK AROUND.
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT I THINK OUR SHIP HAS SAILED AGAIN.
- I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED RIGHT NOW.
THAT MEANS I NEED TO GET OUT THERE TOMORROW AND I NEED TO GET TO SOME AUCTIONS.
I NEED TO GET A UNIT.
EVERYBODY'S LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE JUST DIDN'T SEE WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR.
- IT'S A LOT OF MONEY FOR WRAPPING PAPER, SO THESE BETTER BE WORTH SOMETHING.
SO I'M EXCITED TO TAKE A LOOK.
OBVIOUSLY, UH, SOMEBODY BOUGHT A BUNCH OF NEWSPAPERS, OR IT WAS A PAPER ROUTE, AND WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE TO ME IS, UM OH, WOW.
SO I'M EXCITED TO TAKE A LOOK.
OBVIOUSLY, UH, SOMEBODY BOUGHT A BUNCH OF NEWSPAPERS, OR IT WAS A PAPER ROUTE, AND WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE TO ME IS UM OH, WOW.
THIS IS A, UH MEMPHIS PRESS.
THIS HAD TO BE FROM WHEN, UH, THE DAY AFTER OR THE DAY THAT ELVIS DIED.
THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION.
THIS COULD BE BIG.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S JUST GONNA ADD UP TO HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS OR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OR EVEN TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, I THINK.
I COULDN'T EVEN BEGIN TO IMAGINE HOW MANY PAPERS ARE HERE.
- I AM ON MY WAY TO INGLEWOOD TO AN AUCTION THAT I WOULDN'T NORMALLY GO TO.
IT'S AN INDUSTRIAL AREA.
IT'S A LOWER-INCOME AREA.
I DON'T HAVE BRANDI WITH ME TODAY, SO I'M GONNA BE THE BIG DOG TODAY.
I'M REALLY HOPING THAT I DON'T SEE DAVE OR DARRELL HERE.
- EASY ROLL UP ONE.
GET A GOOD LOOK.
- I SEE SOME FURNITURE.
I SEE SOME SHOEBOXES.
THIS IS A GREAT UNIT.
I CAN'T WAIT TO WIN IT AND GET INSIDE THERE AND SEE WHAT'S IN IT.
THIS IS DEFINITELY GONNA FILL THE SHELVES AT THE STORE.
- WHOA, WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHAT? DID JARROD THINK THAT HE WAS GONNA GO TO AN AUCTION AND I WASN'T GONNA BE THERE? WHO IS HE KIDDING? I'M EVEN THERE WHEN I'M NOT THERE.
- I WAS FEELING REALLY GOOD ABOUT THIS UNIT, BUT NOW THAT DARRELL'S HERE, I MEAN, HE LOVES TO JUST BID ME UP.
- I DON'T KNOW.
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY PLAYED SPORTS HERE.
I SEE SOME DECENT LOOKING COUCHES AND A LOT OF TENNIS SHOE BOXES.
- ALL RIGHT, IF YOU'RE READY TO GO, I'M READY TO GO [auctioneering.]
GOOD LUCK.
AND I GOT 100 BUCKS RIGHT THERE.
HUNDRED AND A HALF WHERE? - YEP.

GOT NEW BLOOD AT 600 BUCKS.
NEW HOUND IN THE RACE.
I GOT 600.
- I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND MORE THAN 600 BUCKS ON THIS UNIT.
IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD.
- JARROD'S STARTING TO BACK DOWN.
GO AHEAD.
HIT IT ONE MORE TIME.
DON'T BE STUPID.
NO BULL[bleep.]
.
THIS IS A GOOD LOCKER.
TODAY I'M GONNA EXTEND THE OLIVE BRANCH.
I'M GONNA MAKE HIM STEP UP AND WIN THIS LOCKER.
- YEAH.
- I'M SERIOUS.
- YEAH.
YEAH, EIGHT.
- 825.
JARROD, YOU'RE OUT.
- I'M ALREADY OVER MY LIMIT ON THIS UNIT.
I GOT DARRELL IN MY EAR TELLING ME "GO FOR IT, GO FOR IT.
" I'M JUST NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS.
- EIGHT AND A QUARTER.
EIGHT AND A QUARTER.
- YEAH.
- 850.
I'VE GOT 850 THERE.
HOW ABOUT THAT? - YEP.
- 875 RIGHT THERE.
I'VE GOT 875 SHAKING HIS HEAD NO.
AND 900 GOING TWICE.
AND LAST AND FINAL CALL AT 900 BUCKS NOW.
CONGRATULATIONS, JARROD.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU.
- THIS UNIT GOT ME IN THE BUYING MOOD.
NOW I'M IN THE ZONE.
NOW I'M READY TO GET SOME UNITS.
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
THAT'S A LOT OF STAPLES BOXES.
ONLY TAKES ONE GOOD ITEM TO MAKE IT WORK.
- ALL RIGHT, HERE WE GO - 25.
- 25 RIGHT THERE.
- 35 NOW.
FOR 45.
SOLD IT YOUR WAY FOR $45.
JARROD, YOUR WAY.
GOT IT FOR 45 BIG BUCKS.
THANK YOU.
GOOD BUY.
- BUT THERE'S A FAIR AMOUNT OF STUFF IN THERE.
IF IT GOES FOR THE RIGHT PRICE, I'LL BE BIDDING ON IT.
- ALL RIGHT, I GOT 50 BUCKS RIGHT HERE.
A BID FOR 100, SIR.
ONE RIGHT THERE.
- YEAH.
- ONE AND A QUARTER? ONE AND A QUARTER THERE.
YOU BOUGHT IT FOR 125, JARROD.
GOOD BUY.
- IN THIS WORLD, YOU GOT THE BIG FISH AND YOU GOT THE LITTLE FISH.
I WAS ALWAYS THINKING THAT JARROD WAS MAYBE A BOTTOM-FEEDER, BUT TODAY HE SHOWED ME HE'S COME UP IN THE TANK.
[phone rings.]
- HEY.
- HI.
- JUST WHEN I THINK I'M ON TOP, BRANDI CALLS TO CHECK IN.
I BOUGHT, LIKE, THREE UNITS.
NO.
BOUGHT A UNIT THAT, UH, IS ONLY ABOUT A THIRD OF THE WAY FULL FOR 875.
WELL, THERE'S SOME SHOE BOXES IN THERE.
THERE'S PROBABLY SOME SHOES.
YEAH.
I KNOW BRANDI'S NOT HAPPY THAT I SPENT SO MUCH MONEY, BUT I'M CONFIDENT THAT I'M COMING HOME WITH A PROFIT.
THERE'S, LIKE, A COUCH IN THERE, LIKE, A, UH, MICROFIBER COUCH.
AND A DRESSER AND A COUPLE OF NIGHTSTANDS.
JUST IN CASE, I'M GONNA GO BACK AND TAKE ONE MORE LOOK IN MY UNIT.
AND, UH, IT'S EMPTY.
MISMATCH.
CRAP.
PERSONAL PAPERWORK.
[bleep.]
.
CRAP.
SEE IF THE SHOES ARE IN HERE.
EMPTY.
SPICES, PICTURES.
IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD.
LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT HAVE OVERPAID AGAIN.
EMPTY, EMPTY.
EMPTY.
JUST A BUNCH OF EMPTY BOXES.
UGH.
UGH.
SMELLS LIKE RAT PISS IN HERE.
YOU SEE THERE USED TO BE FOOD IN HERE.
IT'S ALL TORN UP.
IT'S ALL EATEN.
NOW YOU GOT ME SCARED.
THERE MIGHT BE A RAT STILL IN THERE.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST BOUGHT $875 WORTH OF RAT [bleep.]
.
EMPTY.
ANOTHER EMPTY BOX.
PAPERWORK.
WHAT IS THIS? A SAFE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GONNA FIND 'EM, BUT I'M ALWAYS HAPPY WHEN I DO.
THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS DO OR DIE.
A SAFE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR.
YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GONNA FIND 'EM, BUT I'M ALWAYS HAPPY WHEN I DO.
THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE.
THIS IS DO OR DIE.
OF COURSE.
IT'S EMPTY.
OF COURSE.
THAT'S WHAT I SHOULD EXPECT.
ALL THE BOXES HAVE BEEN EMPTY.
OF COURSE THE SAFE'S GONNA BE EMPTY TOO.
WHOEVER'S STUFF THIS WAS TOOK ANYTHING OF VALUE OUT OF HERE ALREADY.
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA FACE BRANDI.
IT'S PRETTY BAD.
- SO I PUSHED JARROD INTO BUYING THIS LOCKER AS A WAY TO EXTEND THE OLIVE BRANCH.
I THINK THERE WAS MONEY IN THERE, SO NOW I WANT TO SEE IF I'M RIGHT.
JARROD.
- WHAT'S UP, DARRELL? - HOW'D YOU DO? - OH, GREAT, NOW DARRELL SHOWS UP TO RUB IT IN.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED.
IT'S A LOT OF EMPTY BOXES SO FAR.
NOTHING REAL EXCITING.
- COME ON, DUDE.
COME ON.
I HAD THE VIBE ON THIS THING.
- WELL, I'M LOOKING THROUGH IT.
I SEE A LOT OF CLOTHES.
THE FURNITURE'S OKAY, I GUESS.
- I DON'T KNOW, BUT THAT'S WHY I WAS PUSHING YOU.
I--I JUST--I FELT THERE WAS SOMETHING HERE.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? DUDE, DID YOU SEE THIS SAFE? - THERE'S NOTHING IN IT.
IT'S OPEN.
- JARROD, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT IT EVEN HAVING ANYTHING IN HERE.
DID YOU SEE THE SAFE? THIS THING'S THE BOMB.
THIS IS WORTH THREE TIMES YOUR WHOLE LOCKER.
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
TWO TO THREE GRAND.
YOU KNOW, IT JUST GOES TO SHOW YA, THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING TO LEARN IN THIS BUSINESS.
THIS IS THE OLD YORK SAFE COMPANY.
THESE THINGS ARE REAL COLLECTIBLE.
AND WHAT MAKES THIS THING SO NICE, AND IT DOESN'T TAKE A DUMMY TO UNDERSTAND THIS, IT'S GOT ALL THE ORIGINAL BRASS FITTINGS, BUT THE PRINTING IS ALL ON IT.
- YEAH.
- AND IT'S ALL GOLD-EMBOSSED.
THAT WAS HAND-LAID ON THERE AND HAND-PAINTED.
- HOW OLD DO YOU THINK IT IS? - UH, TURN OF THE CENTURY.
MAYBE 100--120 YEARS OLD, IF I HAD TO GUESS.
THIS IS A TYPICAL ROOKIE MISTAKE.
IT WAS THE SAFE ITSELF THAT WAS WORTH ALL THE MONEY.
JARROD WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS HERE TO KEEP HIM FROM SCRAPPING THAT SAFE.
- I REALLY HATE TO ADMIT IT RIGHT NOW, BUT, I MEAN, DARRELL SHOWED UP, AND HE MIGHT HAVE SAVED THE DAY.
- BRO, YOUR MONEY'S HERE.
RIGHT HERE.
FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.
YOUR MONEY'S RIGHT HERE IN THIS SAFE.
YOU DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE.
I'M TELLING YA, WHEN YOU SELL THIS THING, YOU'RE GONNA BE THANKING ME.
- THIS IS FREAKIN' AWESOME.
THIS IS GONNA GET US TO NEXT WEEK.
- I PURCHASED A UNIT FOR $750, AND IT HAD ABOUT 3,000 ELVIS PRESLEY NEWSPAPERS.
THEY'RE ALL IDENTICAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE WORTH MORE THAN A BUCK OR TWO, SO I'M GONNA TAKE 'EM TO AN EXPERT TO SEE WHAT HE THINKS.
- HI, I'M JOSEPH CARRETA.
I'M AN AVID ELVIS COLLECTOR, AND I'VE BEEN COLLECTING ELVIS PRESLEY MEMORABILIA SINCE 1962.
I SPECIALIZE IN THE PERIOD OF THE 1970s.
TAKE A LOOK.
AT THE MEMPHIS PRESS.
THIS IS A REPRINT OF THE FIVE-DAY EVENT AFTER ELVIS PASSED AWAY.
BUT STILL, NUMBER ONE, IT IS ORIGINAL.
- CORRECT.
- IT'S AN ORIGINAL REPRINT, IF YOU FOLLOW MY THOUGHT THERE.
I BELIEVE THAT THIS ONE IS VALUED AT $5, MINIMUM, SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT, UH, WHAT, UH, $15,000.
- $15,000.
- ON THE LOW END.
- ON A LOW END.
- YEAH, POSSIBLY AS A HIGH END YOU'RE LOOKING AT 30.
I MEAN, YOU'VE GOT A PIECE OF HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE HERE.
I--YEAH, IT'S A GREAT FIND.
- WELL, I DON'T MIND THAT.
I'LL TAKE THAT ANY DAY OF THE WEEK FOR SHOWING UP TO A STORAGE AUCTION.
- YOU KNOW, DAVE, YOU HAVE TWO DIFFERENT NEWSPAPERS HERE.
YOU HAVE THE PRESS-SCIMITAR, AND THEN YOU HAVE THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL.
- I HAVE TWO PAPERS PER BUNDLE.
IT TURNS OUT INSTEAD OF 3,000 NEWSPAPERS I HAVE 6,000 NEWSPAPERS.
UM - DID YOU REALIZE THAT? - I DID NOT REALIZE THAT.
I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST THE SECOND PART OF IT.
- THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE AN ORIGINAL RELEASE.
AND THIS ONE IS OF SOME SIGNIFICANT VALUE.
- I'M I'M EXCITED, YOU KNOW.
- WELL, YOU'RE GONNA GET A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITED.
- I'M GONNA GET A LITTLE BIT MORE EXCITED? - TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL.
NOW, MY OPINION ON THE COMMERCIAL APPEAL, BASED ON THIS CONDITION, AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE ORIGINAL PAPER THAT WAS RELEASED WEDNESDAY THE 17TH, THE DAY AFTER ELVIS PASSED AWAY.
I THINK YOU'RE LOOKING AT $10 PER NEWSPAPER.
- PER NEWSPAPER.
- YOU GOT 3,000.
NOW YOU'RE LOOKING AT 30 ON A LOW END.
- 30 ON A LOW END.
- HIGH, 60,000.
- WOW.
I MEAN, I'M STARTING TO FEEL A LITTLE WARM AND FLUSH HERE JUST HEARING THOSE NUMBERS.
UM, THAT'S--THAT'S EXCITING TO ME.
I MEAN, UH - DAVE, HOW MUCH, UH I'M CURIOUS.
HOW MUCH DID YOU PAY FOR THIS? - I PAID $750 FOR THE STORAGE UNIT, AND YOU'RE TELLING ME I'M PROBABLY GONNA-- I'M IN THE RANGE OF, UH, $45,000 TO $90,000.
I JUST HIT THE JACKPOT.
JOSEPH JUST DOUBLED MY PROFIT BY TELLING ME I NEED TO SEPARATE THESE NEWSPAPERS.
I COULD HAVE CHEATED MYSELF OUT OF A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY.
announcer: THE BIG WINNER OF THE HOMELAND AUCTION WAS DAVE HESTER, WHOSE NEWSPAPERS WERE VALUED AT $90,000.
JARROD SCHULZ SOLD HIS SAFE AND MICROFIBER COUCHES FOR 2,100 BUCKS.
DARRELL SHEETS MADE $2,000 ON HIS QUARTER-SAWN FURNITURE.
AND BARRY WEISS MADE A BIG SPLASH AT THE BRIDGE TOURNAMENT.
WHAT ELSE DID DARRELL FIND IN HIS LOCKER? - RIGHT THERE.
- IT'S RIGHT THERE AT 53.
- IT'S 56.
I BOUGHT THE LOCKER.
- OH.
- WANT TO ARGUE WITH ME NOW? THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD FURNITURE IN HERE.
YOU KNOW, WE JUST GOT TO CHECK IT OUT REAL GOOD AND SEE WHAT WE GOT.
- OH, YEAH, LOOK AT THIS.
BADA-BING, BABY.
THERE'S THE WOW FACTOR.
RIGHT OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
- WOW.
- THAT'S AN ORIGINAL PIECE RIGHT THERE.
$500 BILL.
- THIS IS REALLY BITCHIN'.
VERY STOKED ON THAT.
- THIS IS WHY I DIDN'T WANT JARROD AND BRANDI AROUND RIGHT HERE.
