- * 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 AN UPSCALE FACILITY IN TORRANCE, CALIFORNIA.
- WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO A WEALTHY NEIGHBORHOOD.
THAT MEANS HIGH-DOLLAR ITEMS.
- I'M EXCITED TO BE HERE IN TORRANCE TODAY.
I HEAR THAT THEY HAVE AN ANTIQUE FESTIVAL ONCE A MONTH, SO MAYBE SOME OF THAT STUFF WILL BE STORED IN SOME OF THESE UNITS.
- MY DAY STARTED OFF BAD ALREADY.
HOPEFULLY, THESE LOCKERS ARE GONNA MAKE MY MOOD A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
- WHAT'S GOIN' ON? - I GOT MY WHOLE POSSE HERE, AND WE'RE READY TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS.
T.
C.
B.
, BABY, JUST LIKE ELVIS USED TO SAY.
- SO BRANDI'S BEEN COMING TO THE AUCTIONS FOR TWO MONTHS, AND NOW SHE THINKS SHE'S A PRO.
- I NEED YOU, RIGHT NOW, TO AT THIS POINT, I KNOW AUCTIONS WELL ENOUGH TO BUY A LOCKER ON MY OWN.
- YEAH, I'VE BEEN FEELING A LITTLE BIT BORED LATELY.
I NEED SOMETHING TO KIND OF GET EXCITED ABOUT.
- ALL RIGHT, BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH THIS GATE, YOU NEED TO KNOW THE RULES OF THE AUCTION.
WE'RE GONNA GO THROUGH THERE, WE'RE GONNA REMOVE THE LOCK, WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOOR.
WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU FIVE MINUTES TO TAKE A LOOK.
YOU CAN'T OPEN ANY BOXES, YOU CAN'T GO INSIDE.
WHO'S EVER GOT THE MOST CASH IN THEIR POCKET TODAY CAN OWN IT.
ARE YOU READY? all: YEAH! - THEN LET'S GO! - AW, MAN, IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THAT, I'VE GOT IT RIGHT HERE.
- COMPRESSOR'S GOOD MONEY, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS.
- YEAH, THERE'S AN OLD TYPEWRITER.
I'M NOT REAL SURE WHAT THE YELLOW FRAME IS.
I'M NOT EVEN SURE THERE'S ANYTHING IN HERE WE CAN SELL AT OUR STORE.
- YOU WANT TO LISTEN AND LEARN, OR DO YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK IT IS? THAT, MY FRIEND, IS A LAND SAILER.
SEE THE COCKPIT? SO YOU TURN THAT UPSIDE DOWN, IT'S GOT A BIG OL' POLE AND A SAIL, AND YOU PUSH YOURSELF ACROSS THE DESERT.
IT LOOKS LIKE A PIECE OF JUNK.
- HEY, LOOK HOW BIG THAT COMPRESSOR IS.
IT'S BIG ENOUGH TO COMPRESS SOME OF DARRELL'S BULL[bleep.]
.
[laughter.]
THIS IS A CRAPSHOOT, BECAUSE WITHOUT THE SAIL, THERE'S NO SALE.
IF ALL THE PIECES ARE HERE, THIS THING COULD MEAN A LOT OF FUN.
- GOT A BIG, OLD, NICE LAND SAILER HERE, 10X30 UNIT.
HERE WE GO.
WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE? [rapid auction chant.]

YOU GOT IT FOR 825 BUCKS.
WITH A BID OF 825, BARRY.
- CONGRATULATIONS.
- SORRY, DAVE, NOT THIS TIME.
GOOD DEAL.
- WHOA! IT'S A JAGUAR! - WE'RE GONNA SELL THIS UNIT HERE.
REMEMBER, THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED.
THE VEHICLE IS NOT FOR SALE, FOLKS.
YOU KNOW, THAT VEHICLE INSIDE THAT UNIT, BY LAW, WE CAN'T SELL IT UNLESS THE DMV PROCESS WAS DONE.
IT'S GONNA HAVE TO BE SOLD AT A LATER DATE.
- WELL, WE THINK IT'S A NICE CAR.
WE WERE HOPING WE COULD BUY THAT TODAY.
- IF THERE'S A MOTOR IN IT, IT'S A COMPLETE CAR.
BUT IF THE MOTOR WAS GONE, IT COULD BE SOLD AS PARTS.
THAT'S WHY THE HOOD'S OPEN.
- THIS GUY COULD HAVE SAVED A LOT OF MONEY.
HE COULD HAVE PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIS HOUSE AND NO STORAGE FEES.
- HE COULD HAVE LIVED IN IT.
- HE STILL MIGHT BE.
LOOK IN THE TRUNK.
- THAT'S RIGHT.
- ALL THESE DUMBASSES ARE BUMMED OUT THAT THEY CAN'T BID ON THIS JAGUAR, BUT THEY'RE MISSING THE MOST IMPORTANT PART ABOUT THIS LOCKER.
THERE'S A TABLE THAT'S WORTH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES, AND THEY CAN'T SEE IT.
- AND IF YOU'RE READY TO GO, I'M READY TO GO.
ALL RIGHTY, WE GOT THE LITTLE JAGUAR UNIT.
I GOT 25 THERE AND $100 THERE.
[rapid auction chant.]
- TWO.
- I GOT TWO THERE, 2 1/4.
THE BID'S 2 1/4.
DO I HAVE A BID FOR 250 NOW? AND 250.
- THREE! - AND I GOT THREE THERE.
AND 3 1/4.

BID OF 3 1/2.
JARROD, YOU'RE OUT.

WHAT ABOUT A BID OF FOUR, SIR? - 400.

I'VE GOT 425, GOIN' TWICE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL.

LAST AND FINAL CALL AT 500.
DO I HAVE A BID OF 525? SOLD THAT YOUR WAY, DAVE.
- YOU GOT IT.
- 500 BUCKS.
500.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP, SIR.
YOU STUCK IT TO DAVE.
- I'M TELLING YOU.
- CLEARLY, JARROD AND I ARE NOT ON THE SAME PAGE TODAY.
MAYBE IT WOULD BE BETTER IF JARROD AND I BUY OUR OWN LOCKERS.
- I LIKE BRANDI'S IDEA, BUT IF SHE ENDS UP BUYING A CRAP UNIT, I'M STILL THE ONE PAYING FOR IT.
- OKAY.
- WHOA! - OKAY.
THAT'S IT.
- IT'S NOT BAD.
I MEAN, IT'S SO TACKY THAT IT COULDBE KIND OF COOL.
REALLY, I JUST WANT TO GET THIS PART OVER WITH AND GET BACK TO THE LAND SAILER.
- THEY DO HAVE A NICE LITTLE PLEXIGLAS TABLE, BUT, UNFORTUNATELY, THE GLASS IS ALL CHIPPED UP ON THE BOTTOM.
- ARE THEY OLD ENOUGH TO BE ANTIQUES, OR ARE THEY JUST BEAT UP? I DON'T KNOW WHAT BRANDI'S SEEING IN THIS UNIT.
IT'LL NEVER SELL, THOUGH.
- OH, I'M GETTING THIS LOCKER.
I THINK WE MAY TAKE A STAB AT IT IF IT DOESN'T GO FOR TOO MUCH.
- WE ARE NOT GONNA BE TAKING A STAB AT IT, BUT GOOD TRY.
- SMALL STAB.
- GOOD TRY.
KEEP WALKING.
- A SMALL STAB.
- KEEP WALKING.
- ALL RIGHT, WE GOT A NICE LITTLE LUCITE UNIT.
HERE WE GO.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PAY? SAY.
HOW MUCH.
HOW MUCH MONEY? - VERY LITTLE.
- I GOT 100 THERE.
- HMM, WAS THAT YOU? I'LL [bleep.]
.
- I GOT 100 1/4 THERE.
- 100 1/2 AT THE BACK.
- JARROD CAN GET HIS OWN LOCKER.
THIS ONE'S MINE.
- NOW TWO.
- TWO.
- RIGHT THERE, NOW 2 1/4.
YOU WANT TO GO 2 1/4? I'VE GOT 2 1/4.
[rapid auction chant.]
[rapid auction chant.]
GOING ONCE.
I'VE GOT 2 1/4, AND 2 1/2.
HOW ABOUT A BID FOR 250? - DON'T LET THAT GO, BRANDI.
- JARROD, WOULD YOU LET HER GO? - DON'T LET IT GO, BRANDI! - I GOT 2 1/4, AND 2 1/2.
I GOT 2 1/4 RIGHT HERE.
- YOU HAVE A VOICE, TOO, BRANDI.
- LOOKIN' FOR A BID OF 250 GOING ONCE.
- OH, YES! - THAT'S IT.
HEY, THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT.
NOT A [bleep.]
DOLLAR MORE.
- LOOKING FOR 275, GOING ONCE.
- I HOPE SOMEBODY BIDS.
- AND 250, 275, GOING TWICE.
LAST AND FINAL CALL, LOOKING FOR A BID OF 275.
SOLD THAT YOUR WAY.
- ALL RIGHT.
GOOD LUCK, BRANDI! WHOO! - VICTORY DANCE.
- YEAH! - WHOA! - WHOO! - OHH! - [speaks Spanish.]
THIS ONE IS NOT FOR ME.
I'LL PASS.
- THIS IS ALL RIGHT.
A LITTLE MYSTERY.
BOXES MEAN MYSTERY TO ME.
IF THERE'S A LOCKER I CAN MAKE MONEY ON AND PISS BRANDI OFF AT THE SAME TIME, THIS ONE'S IT.
A LOT OF INEXPENSIVE STUFF, BUT THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF PACKED IN, SO, YEAH.
- I'M GONNA TELL YOU RIGHT NOW, IF YOU LOOK AT THIS VACUUM, THAT'S GOOD EVIDENCE THAT THIS LOCKER SUCKS.
LOOK AT THE VACUUM.
THERE'S HAIR COMING OUT OF IT.
I'LL GUARANTEE YOU THAT THING STINKS.
THIS LOCKER IS NOT WORTH MY TIME.
- IT'S KIND OF MEDIOCRE.
A LITTLE OF THIS, AND A LITTLE OF THAT.
NOTHING SPECIAL.
QUALITY'S NOT THERE.
- ALL RIGHT, I GOT A LITTLE 5X10 UNIT.
HERE WE GO, WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PAY? SAY.
HOW MUCH, HOW MUCH MONEY? WHERE? [rapid auction chant.]
- YEP! - I GOT 100 BUCKS.
- YEAH.
- 200 RIGHT THERE, NOW 2 1/4.
I GOT 200 BUCKS AND 2 1/4.
- YES.
- YEAH.
- 2 1/2, GIVE ME 275.
I'VE GOT 250 AND 75, SIR.
AND 250, AND 275 THERE.
LOOKIN' FOR THREE.
THREE, THREE, 3 1/4.
- YES.
- HOW ABOUT A BID FOR 350 NOW? - YEAH.
- AND 3 1/2 THERE.
- YEP.
- YEAH.
- I'VE GOT FOUR THERE.
- LOOKING 4 AND 25 NOW.
LAST AND FINAL CALL.
ALL THROUGH? ALL DONE? [rapid auction chant.]
SOLD THAT YOUR WAY, JARROD.
YOU GET IT FOR 400 BUCKS.
YOU GOT IT FOR 400.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
- NOW BRANDI GETS TO FIND OUT THAT MY LOCKER'S BETTER.
- I STARTED OFF CRANKY TODAY, AND NOW I'M JUST PISSED.
I NEEDED A GOOD LOCKER, AND NOW I'VE GOT NOTHIN'.
I'M OUTTA HERE.
- I REALLY HOPE I CAN FIND THE MAST IN THE UNIT WITH THE LAND SAILER.
I SEE THE CHASSIS FOR IT, BUT IF THERE'S NO SAIL, THERE'S NO POWER SOURCE.
WELL, I THINK IT'S TIME TO WRESTLE THIS THING OUT OF HERE.
AH.
THIS IS JUST TOO HEAVY FOR ONE PERSON.
THIS HAS TURNED INTO A LOT OF WORK TRYING TO FIND THIS SAIL.
WAIT A MINUTE.
MY BUDDY, JARROD, OWES ME A FAVOR.
I HELPED HIM DIG SOMETHING OUT OF HIS.
- AND I'LL HOLD ON TO THE OTHER HALF WHILE YOU JUMP DOWN.
- WELL, HERE, GET DOWN.
- I'M GONNA.
- HERE, REST IT ON THIS.
GET IN THERE.
WE'RE PULLING THIS THING OUT.
NO, DON'T FOOL WITH THAT.
BUT BE CAREFUL, WE DON'T-- ALL RIGHT.
WAIT A MINUTE! - WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
WATCH YOURSELF THERE.
- YEAH.
- I'VE NEVER SEEN BARRY SO WORKED UP ABOUT SOMETHING.
- LET'S GO.
- WELL, OH - NOTHIN'.
- HERE, BARRY.
- IF THAT SAIL'S GONNA BE ANYWHERE, IT'S GONNA BE INSIDE HERE.
- THERE'S NOTHIN' IN THE TUBE.
- NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S NOT HERE.
- [laughing.]
- HAVE YOU LOOKED IN THIS? I GOT STIFFED AGAIN, NOTHIN'.
WELL, THAT'S ABOUT IT.
I MEAN, UH, ALL MY PLANS OF, UH GOING PARASAILING ARE OUT THE WINDOW, 'CAUSE THERE'S NO SAIL.
- I'M HEADING BACK TO THIS UNIT I PAID 500 BUCKS FOR.
THAT TABLE WAS NICE.
THERE'S GONNA BE SOME GOOD STUFF UP FRONT.
WHEN THE ROOM OPENED UP, I GOT EXCITED RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A SET OF CHAIRS AT THE STORE THAT WE DON'T HAVE A TABLE FOR, AND IT'S THE SAME COLOR MATCH AND EVERYTHING I'M THINKING $2,000, BABY.
EVEN IF THE TABLE IS THE ONLY BIG-TICKET ITEM IN HERE, I'LL BE PERFECTLY HAPPY WITH THAT.
OKAY, SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE GOT IN HERE.
LET'S LIFT THIS ONE UP.
IT'S A REPRODUCTION OF AN ANTIQUE MIRROR EH, 100 BUCKS.
GOT A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN LUGGAGE JUST BY ITSELF.
A WINE COOLER.
IT'S GONNA HAVE AT LEAST $50 TO $75 IN VALUE.
AND THESE ARE LITTLE TCHOTCHKES.
LITTLE DIFFERENT TYPE OF COLLECTIBLE ITEMS.
YOU NEED TO CHECK EVERY LITTLE BOX AND BAG IN HERE.
BECAUSE IT AIN'T OVER UNTIL IT'S OVER.
- ONE TWO THREE.
THESE ARE PROBABLY GONNA BE LITTLE REPRODUCTION SAMURAI SWORDS.
- STAINLESS STEEL.
- YEAH, JUST STAINLESS STEEL.
- THE BLADE IS KIND OF NICE, THOUGH, AND IT'S SHARP.
MOST OF THESE REPRODUCTIONS ARE DULL.
- YEAH.
- SOMEBODY'S TAKEN THE TIME TO SHARPEN THIS PROFESSIONALLY.
- THESE SWORDS ARE A LITTLE BIT BETTER THAN AVERAGE.
THE STEEL RUNS ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE HANDLE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, ABOUT 200 BUCKS APIECE? - 100 1/2, 200, YEAH.
- A LOT OF PEOPLE COLLECT THEM, BUT THEY ALSO COULD BE LETHAL WEAPONS.
THIS ROOM TURNED OUT TO BE A REAL WINNER.
LET'S CLOSE IT DOWN.
- PULL IN RIGHT HERE AND BACK IT IN LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO.
- YESTERDAY, JARROD AND I ENDED UP BUYING OUR OWN LOCKERS.
- I'M JUST COUNTIN' MONEY RIGHT THERE.
- HOW MUCH IT'S GONNA COST YOU TO TAKE THAT TO THE DUMP? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE COUNTING? - SO WE'RE GONNA COUNT 'EM UP, AND WE'RE GONNA FIND OUT WHO KNOWS HOW TO PICK A BETTER LOCKER.
- WHOA! - OH, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE? EVERYTHING'S GOING STRAIGHT FROM THE TRUCK TO THE DUMPSTER.
- YEAH, THAT'S THE END OF YOUR UNIT RIGHT THERE.
- A BRAND NEW VCR? - THAT'S HAND-DRAWN PORN.
YOU DON'T GET THAT ALL THE TIME.
- UGH! [bleep.]
AWESOME.
HOW WE DOIN' OVER HERE? - YOU MIGHT FIND PORN IN, LIKE, TWO OUT OF THREE UNITS, BUT YOU NEVER FIND HAND-DRAWN PORN.
- AAH! STOP IT! THOSE ARE MEN'S UNDERWEAR.
- YEAH, UM, THIS UNIT'S NOT TURNING OUT THAT GOOD.
- HEY! - HEY! - MARK, I'M LOSING HOPE OVER HERE.
UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, OLD TOOLS, CRAPPY LAMP, OLD COMPUTER MONITORS AREN'T GONNA GET ME MY MONEY BACK.
THAT'S IT! CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED! - SO I'M GOING THROUGH SOME OF JARROD'S BOOKS FROM HIS CRAPPY LOCKER AND WHAT DO I FIND? CRAP.
IF THIS TURNS OUT TO BE WORTH SOMETHING, I WILL NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT FROM HIM.
JARROD! - WHAT'D YOU FIND? - 1922 GOLD CERTIFICATE.
YEAH, THAT'S AWESOME.
[laughing.]
I TOLD YOU.
I KNEW THERE WAS GONNA BE SOMETHING IN THIS LOCKER.
- NOW I REALLY WANT MY LOCKER TO PAY OFF BIG.
- COUNT IT UP.
COUNT IT UP.
- PROBABLY SELL THESE FOR A COUPLE OF BUCKS.
- BUT I'M THINKING EASILY, A COUPLE 200, 300, 400 BUCKS.
I THINK THIS DESK RIGHT HERE, PROBABLY ANYWHERE FROM 75 TO 100 BUCKS.
- HOLY CRAP.
- DON'T BE JEALOUS.
THERE'S A LOT MORE IN THIS LOCKER THAN EVEN I EXPECTED.
OH, HOW MUCH CAN WE GET FOR THAT MICROWAVE? THAT'S A NICE ONE.
KEEP TALLYING IT UP.
HOW MUCH CAN I GET FOR THIS BREAD MAKER HERE? UH-HUH.
LOOKS LIKE I'M AT ABOUT 1495.
- WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S REALLY GREAT.
OKAY, I GOTTA ADMIT, BRANDI GOT SOME GOOD STUFF.
BUT I MIGHT HAVE GOT GOLD WITH THIS OLD CERTIFICATE.
- I TELL YOU, I'M READY FOR SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING.
YOU MUST BE PETE.
- YOU MUST BE BARRY.
- PETE, YOU THINK IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO LEAVE MY KEYS IN THE CAR OUT HERE? - ABSOLUTELY.
- NO KIDDING.
YOU'RE REFERRING TO THIS AS A LAND YACHT.
- CORRECT.
- THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW TIMES YOU MIGHT CALL THIS A LAND DINGHY.
- I AGREE.
THIS IS A HOMEMADE LAND YACHT CHASSIS.
THE OWNER USED A, UH, FORK FOR A BMX BICYCLE.
YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY KIND OF HAD TO IMPROVISE.
- WELDING BY HELEN KELLER.
- AND, UH, HERE AT THE BACK, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY GOT THE BASE FOR HOLDING A MAST.
- YES.
- DID YOU FIND THE MAST IN THE LOCKER? - NO, NO SAIL.
THAT'S WHAT I SAID WHEN I SAID NO SAIL.
- MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALLY CARE TOO MUCH ABOUT THE CHASSIS IN TERMS OF WHAT IT'S WORTH.
IT'S JUST AS LONG AS IT WORKS.
IF IT ROLLS, ALL YOU NEED IS YOUR MAST, YOUR SAIL, YOUR LINES, YOUR PULLEYS, YOU'RE IN BUSINESS.
YOU COULD PROBABLY GET THIS RESTORED FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN $500 TO $1,000.
- RESTORED? FOR $1,000? I THINK OLD PETE HAS BEEN ROAMIN' THE DESERT A LITTLE BIT TOO LONG.
THIS LAND YACHT CHASSIS IN ITS CURRENT STATE IS WORTH ABOUT $200.
- THAT'S IT? - THAT'S IT.
- THIS LAND SAILER, KIND OF A BUST.
BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET THAT RUIN MY DAY.
I'M GLAD WE GOT A CHANCE TO MEET, MAN.
LET'S GO DO THIS.
- SOUNDS GOOD.
- YOU BROUGHT SOME NEW ONES.
IT'S TIME TO SEE WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE I CAN REALLY GET INTO.
GET IT UP HIGHER.
ALL RIGHT, BITCHIN'.
THAT'S IT.
I LOVE THAT.
- I KNOW THAT I'VE DEFINITELY GOT SOMETHING HERE WITH THIS OLD CERTIFICATE.
SO WHERE BETTER TO GO TO GET THE HIGHEST APPRAISAL? BEVERLY HILLS.
WHAT? - RODEO DRIVE.
- HI.
- HI.
- I'M BRANDI.
I CALLED YOU ON THE PHONE.
- HI, BRANDI.
BRIAN ABBOTT.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
- I'M JARROD.
- HI.
PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
A $50 BILL, HUH? - YEAH, I FIGURE IT'S GOTTA BE WORTH AT LEAST 50 BUCKS.
- [laughs.]
IT'S PROBABLY WORTH AT LEAST $50.
THIS IS A GOLD CERTIFICATE.
NOW, AT THE TIME THIS WAS PRODUCED, SOMETIME IN THE 1920s OR '30s, THIS IS A NOTE THAT YOU COULD HAVE GONE TO THE BANK AND EXCHANGED FOR AN ACTUAL, LIKE, MAYBE A $50 GOLD COIN OR TWO 20s AND A $10 GOLD COIN.
IN HIGH GRADE CONDITION, THIS IS A NOTE THAT COULD BRING $25,000 OR $30,000.
- MM-HMM.
- BUT THE QUESTION IS IS WHAT CONDITION IS YOUR NOTE IN? I GOT SOME BAD NEWS ON THAT FRONT.
IF WE TURN OVER THE BACK OF THE NOTE, YOU'VE GOT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE BIT OF MAYBE GLUE WAS ON THE SURFACE AT ONE POINT IN TIME, AND IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER NOTE WAS ON TOP OF IT.
- I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE BAD NEWS I CAN HANDLE.
HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH? - I THINK THAT THIS NOTE WOULD PROBABLY SELL FOR FOR $200, $250, WHICH ISN'T ENTIRELY BAD NEWS.
- IT'S NOT 20 GRAND, BUT IT'S STILL 200 BUCKS, SO ALL RIGHT.
WELL, THAT'S WHAT WE NEEDED TO KNOW.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
IT WAS GOOD MEETING YOU.
- PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
- THANKS.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
- YEAH, BRANDI BEAT ME ON THIS UNIT, BUT IT'S ONLY BECAUSE I TAUGHT HER EVERYTHING SHE KNOWS.
- DAVE HESTER'S TABLE LUGGAGE, AND MIRROR MADE HIM $1,975.
BRANDI MADE $1,245 WITH HER HOME DECOR UNIT.
DARRELL SHEETS STOMPED AWAY WITH NOTHING.
JARROD SCHULZ'S DISAPPOINTING DEFEAT PUT HIM IN THE RED FOR 50 BUCKS, AND BARRY'S BOREDOM AMOUNTED TO A DEFICIT OF $650.
AS FOR DAVE'S SAMURAI SWORDS - I DON'T SELL WEAPONS IN MY STORE.
MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THAT THESE ARE WALL HANGERS OR DECORATIONS.
I'M GONNA SHOW YOU JUST HOW EXTREMELY SHARP AND LETHAL THESE ARE.
I'M NOT AN ARMS DEALER.
AND I DON'T DEAL WITH WEAPONS WHATSOEVER.
AND I WOULD PREFER NOT TO EVEN FIND THEM IN STORAGE UNITS.
