- THIS IS LIKE A MECCA OF ANTIQUE STORES.

- A LOT OF OLD MONEY COMES FROM THIS PART OF TOWN.

- THE WORD IS THAT SIX OUT OF THE SEVEN UNITS TODAY

BELONGED TO THE SAME TENANT.

- I HEARD TODAY ALL THESE LOCKERS BELONGED

TO AN ANTIQUE DEALER.

- THIS COULD BE OUR BIGGEST AUCTION EVER.

- I THINK IT'S A HOARDER.

- THERE'S A LOT OF RUMORS GOING ON AROUND HERE TODAY.

RUMORS THAT I CAN'T CONFIRM NOR DENY.

BEFORE YOU GO THROUGH THESE GATES,

YOU NEED TO KNOW THE RULES OF THE AUCTION.

WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE UNIT. WE'RE GONNA REMOVE THE LOCK.

WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOOR.

WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU FIVE MINUTES TO TAKE LOOK AROUND.

LET'S DO IT.

- YEAH! - ALL RIGHT.

- WHAT?

I DON'T THINK THIS PERSON WAS AN ANTIQUE COLLECTOR.

- UH, HOARDER.

- EVERYTHING IN HERE CAN FIT ON A SHELF IN MY STORE,

LIKE BRAND-NEW CUTTING BOARD STILL IN THE PLASTIC.

THERE'S, LIKE, A TRAIN SET OR SOMETHING BACK THERE.

- IS THIS WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A BAG LADY?

[laughter]

THERE'S VALUE HERE, AND I THINK

I MIGHT BID A LITTLE BIT ON THIS.

- SHE'S GOT EVERYTHING IN THESE WHITE PLASTIC BAGS.

WHEN THEY ASKED HER IF SHE WANTED PAPER OR PLASTIC,

SHE OPTED FOR BOTH.

YOU KNOW, THE VALUABLES COULD BE BURIED

UNDER ALL THOSE BAGS.

- AWW.

YOU KNOW, I GOT LUCKY AND I HEARD DAVE SAY

THAT HE'S GONNA BE BIDDING ON THIS.

SO I CAN TELL YOU ONE THING.

HE'S GONNA BE PAYING FOR IT.

- CONGRATULATIONS. - GOOD EYE.

- DAVID, YOU'RE GETTING SOFT, MAN.

- IT'S ANOTHER HOARDER LOCKER. - ALL RIGHT.

- THIS IS NOT FOR ME.

- OH.

- WELL, I UNDERSTAND THAT SHE WAS A COLLECTOR, OKAY, FOLKS?

- I'M GONNA PASS.

[indistinct chatter]

- THIS IS WHAT I CALL A SEXY UNIT RIGHT HERE.

I'M PRETTY SURE I SMELL A DEAD CAT.

- NOT AS MUCH TO HAUL.

- WONDER WHY SOMEBODY WOULD PAY RENT ON THIS.

AH, YOU KNOW, NONE OF THESE UNITS ARE REALLY

JUMPING OUT AT ME.

I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE UNIT

THAT I ORIGINALLY BOUGHT,

REALLY KIND OF JUST TO MAKE SURE

I DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE HERE.

WELL, HERE SHE IS.

LET'S TALK NICE TO HER.

OPEN SESAME.

WOW.

I'M HOPING VALUABLE ANTIQUES MAY BE HIDDEN

UNDER THIS MOUNTAIN OF STUFF.

AND THERE'S NO NICE WAY TO KIND OF CUT THROUGH THIS STUFF,

SO I'M JUST GONNA KIND OF BURROW MY WAY IN.

AVALANCHE!

EVERY SINGLE THING IS WRAPPED IN PLASTIC

AND NOT REALLY WORTH TOO MUCH.

I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING.

IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO BREAK A HIP.

AT MY AGE... IT COULD HAPPEN.

I MEAN, I'M STANDING ON 14 MAGAZINES

AND IT'S PROPPED UP BY 2 COOLERS.

[sighs] THIS IS--

A-HA!

OKAY, THEY LAUGHED AT ME.

THEY LAUGHED AT ME.

WOW.

- [sighs] THIS IS--

A-HA!

OKAY, THEY LAUGHED AT ME.

THEY LAUGHED AT ME.

WOW.

BUNCH OF THOUSAND-DOLLAR BILLS IN HERE.

TOO BAD THEY'RE FAKE.

[scoffs]

THIS IS GREAT.

"IF THE TRAILER'S ROCKIN'...

DON'T COME KNOCKIN'."

I'M STARTING TO REGRET BUYING THIS DAMN UNIT.

[chuckles]

HOT ROD MAGAZINE.

THIS IS ISSUE ONE, VOLUME ONE.

THIS IS SOMETHING I'M REALLY FAMILIAR WITH

AND DEAR TO MY HEART.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS WORTH.

IT'S WORTH A HELL OF A LOT TO ME.

THIS MAGAZINE MAKES ALL THE DIGGING WORTHWHILE.

[crowd groaning]

- OH, THERE'S YOUR POTTY CHAIR.

- THAT'S A DAVE HESTER PICTURE FRAME.

- DO YOU A GREASE PENCIL RIGHT HERE?

THIS IS THE WAY THE $.99 STORE PRICES STUFF.

ALL DAY IT'S JUST BEEN SMALL BAGS

OF $1 OR $2 ITEMS.

- IT'S NOT AS STINKY AS THE LAST ONE.

AT THIS POINT, IF WE WANT A LOCKER TODAY,

WE CAN'T BE TOO PICKY.

- OH, YOU GUYS ARE NOT GONNA BELIEVE WHAT'S BE--

THERE'S NOTHING BACK THERE.

- CAREFUL THERE.

CAREFUL, OLD-TIMER.

- DON'T BREAK YOUR HIP. - YEAH.

THERE'S NO COMING BACK AT YOUR AGE.

- HEY, THAT REALLY HURTS.

- ALL RIGHTY, HERE WE GO. NUMBER 20.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PAY? SAY. HOW MUCH?

HOW MUCH MONEY WHERE? 100 RIGHT THERE.

NOW 200. AND I GOT 100, NOW 200.

300, 300. [auctioneering]

400. NOW 500. [auctioneering]

HOW ABOUT 600 NOW? I GOT 500, 600, NOW 700.

700? 700? 700? - 800.

900 NOW. I'VE GOT 800 NOW.

[auctioneering]

900 GOING ONCE AND I GOT 800. NOW 900.

900 GOING TWICE. LAST AND FINAL CALL.

850. NOW 900.

[auctioneering] - YEP!

- YOU'RE OUT. 900 THERE.

950. I GOT 900.

[auctioneering]

950 WHERE? AND I GOT 900 GOING ONCE.

950 GOING TWICE. - YEAH.

- 950 THERE AND 1,000. 1,000 NOW.

AND I GOT 950 TO YOU, SIR. $1,000.

1,000, DAVE.

1,000 GOING ONCE. 1,000 THERE.

1,050 NOW. GOT 1,000 BUCKS.

- IS THAT BRANDI BIDDING? - NO, IT ISN'T.

I GOT 1,000. YOU'RE OUT.

- IS THAT JARROD BIDDING? - NO, IT ISN'T.

- YOU WOULDN'T LIE TO ME, WOULD YOU?

- I WOULD LIE TO YOU, BUT I'M NOT NOW.

I GOT 1,100 HERE.

- WHO'S GOT THE BID?

- [auctioneering]

SOLD IT AWAY. DAVE, YOU GOT IT FOR 1,100 BIG BUCKS.

1,100. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, JARROD.

- I BOUGHT THAT? [record scratches]

- YOU DIDN'T BID ON THIS? - NO, HE DID NOT BID.

IT WAS THIS GUY RIGHT HERE.

- YO, YOU'RE JOKING.

I MISTAKENLY TOOK DAVE HESTER'S BID FOR $1,100.

- IN THIS CASE, TO KEEP THE AUCTION MOVING,

WE'LL GO AHEAD AND RESET IT FOR 1,050.

- IF I WAS HESTER, I'D BE EMBARRASSED.

- MAYBE IT LOOKED LIKE I WAS BIDDING,

BUT I DEFINITELY DIDN'T HAVE A BID ON THIS UNIT.

- DO YOU WANT TO GO 1,050 BUCKS?

- YOU GOT TO ASK HER.

- DO YOU WANT TO GO 1,050?

I GOT 1,000 BUCKS AND 1,050 GOING ONCE.

AND 1,000 BUCKS AND 1,050 GOING TWICE.

- YEAH! - BID 1,050.

1,100 TO YOU. I'VE GOT 1,050 GOING ONCE

AND 1,100 GOING TWICE. 1,100 BUCKS GOING ONCE.

1,100 GOING TWICE. LAST AND FINAL CALL AT 1,100.

1,100. 1,100 BUCKS NOW.

DON'T YOU WALK AWAY FROM ME, 'CAUSE YOU JUST BOUGHT IT.

1,050 BUCKS. - WHOO!

[cheers and applause] ALL RIGHT.

- 1,050. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU GUYS.

- WELL, THAT'S ONE WAY TO GET A LOCKER.

- ALL RIGHT, FOLKS, WE HAVE ONE MORE IN THIS HALLWAY.

INDEPENDENTLY OWNED.

IT'S NOT PART OF THE SIX.

- SOMEBODY'S BEDROOM.

COUPLE OF WICKER NIGHTSTANDS.

NOT MUCH IN HERE, YEAH.

NOT GONNA BE BIDDING.

- IT'S A DEPARTURE FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN ALL DAY,

WHICH IS, UH, BATCH.

AH, I SHOULD HAVE WAITED FOR THIS ONE.

- THIS IS CLEAN.

I SEE A PILLOW-BACK MATTRESS WITH THE BOX SPRINGS.

THERE'S SOME MONEY IN THIS UNIT,

BUT I REALLY DON'T SEE THE WOW FACTOR HERE.

- IT'S OLD AND OUTDATED.

I DON'T REALLY THINK ANYBODY'S GONNA BE INTERESTED

IN THAT IN MY STORE AND IT SMELLS KIND OF BAD.

HEY. - WHAT?

- [blows raspberry]

- YOU GOT A LITTLE WICKER BEDROOM SET

AND THREE OR FOUR BAGS OF MISCELLANEOUS.

I GUARANTEE YOU I'M GONNA MAKE MORE PROFIT

THAN ANYBODY ELSE IF I BUY THIS ONE.

NOW THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

THIS IS THE BEST BUY OF THE DAY.

- ALL RIGHT, WE'RE READY TO GO AND HERE WE GO.

I GOT A LITTLE WICKER BEDROOM UNIT.

HERE WE GO, NUMBER 20.

WHAT ARE YOU GONNA PAY ON THIS LITTLE WICKER UNIT?

HE CAN BID 25 BUCKS RIGHT THERE.

HOW ABOUT 50 NOW? I'VE GOT 25. WHAT ABOUT 50?

50? - YEP.

- 50 RIGHT THERE. NOW 75.

- YEAH. - OH, STOP IT!

WE ARE SO NOT BIDDING ON THIS LOCKER.

- [auctioneering]

125 AND YOU'RE OUT. 1 1/4, ARE YOU IN?

I GOT 100 BUCKS. 1 1/4 RIGHT THERE.

AND 100 1/2, 100 1/2, DAVE.

175. I'VE GOT 150.

175, YOU'RE OUT. NOW 2 1/4, 225.

I'VE GOT 200 BUCKS AND 2 1/4, 225.

I'VE GOT 250. 75. THE TRAIN'S GOING OUT.

275 AND YOU'RE OUT. - YOU'RE AT 275.

- 300, 300, NOW WANT TO BID 300?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, DAVE. WANT TO BID 275 AND YOU'RE IN.

NOW 300, 300, 300 WHERE?

[auctioneering]

300 GOING TWICE. WANT TO BID 300 BUCKS OR NOT?

- YEP. - [auctioneering]

325 GOING TWICE OR NOT? SOLD IT AWAY.

YOU GOT IT FOR 300 BIG BUCKS. 300, DAVE.

- ALL RIGHT!

- I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.

- THANK YOU, FOLKS. THAT CONCLUDES OUR SALE.

DON'T FORGET TO PAY THE LADY.

- SO WE'RE BACK AT THE LOCKER THAT BRANDI AND I

PAID 1,050 FOR.

WHOA.

- COME ON. ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?

- YEAH, BUDDY. [laughter]

- ALL MY GUYS, THEY'RE LAUGHING RIGHT NOW,

BUT I THINK WE GOT A GOOD LOCKER FOR THE STORE.

RIGHT HERE.

WE THINK THIS IS THE DOORWAY TO GET BACK THERE.

I SEE SOMETHING IN THE BACK OF THE LOCKER COVERED UP,

BUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO WORK TO GET BACK THERE.

PHILADELPHIA EDITION.

BRANDI, I GOT IT.

I FOUND THE MONEY.

IT'S A ONE-OF-A-KIND

GORILLA EATING A BANANA PIGGY BANK.

I'M REALLY CURIOUS ABOUT THIS, BRANDI.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE WORTH SOMETHING.

YOU READY TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT?

- LOOKS OLD.

IS IT IN GOOD CONDITION?

- UM, YEAH.

I MEAN, FOR ITS AGE,

IT'S IN BETTER CONDITION THAN YOU ARE.

THIS IS THE UNIT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR MONTHS.

IS THAT A PICASSO?

NO.

I GOT A QUESTION, DAVE.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE BEING SINCERE FOR A MINUTE?

NORMALLY I WOULD NEVER ASK FOR DAVE'S ADVICE,

BUT I GOT TO KNOW IF THIS HUTCH IS THE REAL DEAL.

- WHAT'S YOUR QUESTION?

- DO YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS OLD HUTCH BACK HERE?

- IF YOU'RE ASKING FOR AN APPRAISAL,

I DO THAT FOR A FEE.

- I DON'T WANT AN APPRAISAL.

- I ALMOST BOUGHT THIS UNIT BY ACCIDENT.

I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S IN THERE.

ONE TIME, I'LL MAKE AN EXCEPTION.

LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU GOT.

- I THINK YOUR WIFE MADE AN EXCEPTION ONE TIME TOO, HUH?

THAT'S HOW YOU GOT ONE KID?

- I WOULD SAY THAT THIS IS A REPRODUCTION

OF A FRENCH RENAISSANCE PIECE.

RIGHT HERE IT SAYS, "MADE IN SPAIN."

PROBABLY OUT OF THE '50s.

IF IT WAS FROM THE REAL

FRENCH RENAISSANCE TIME PERIOD,

IT WOULD BE WORTH TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.

IN MY STORE...

I WOULD ASK 1,500 BUCKS FOR THIS PIECE.

- BAM!

THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT RIGHT THERE.

THAT'S WHAT I DO.

- IT'S A GOOD PIECE. I DIDN'T SEE THAT.

THE REST OF IT LOOKS LIKE [bleep], BUT, UH--

- OH, NO, THIS IS SHELF FILLER ALL DAY.

- THESE ARE KIND OF INTERESTING, ACTUALLY.

THIS COULD BE WORTH MORE THAN THAT CABINET.

- THESE ARE KIND OF INTERESTING, ACTUALLY,

RIGHT HERE TOO.

THIS IS, UM--

THIS IS A TWO-WAY MAKEUP MIRROR.

PUT THIS UP HERE. SEE THAT?

I THINK THAT SITS LIKE THAT OR SOMETHING.

THIS ACTUALLY COULD BE WORTH MORE THAN THAT CABINET.

- SO FAR, WE'VE ALREADY HIT A HOME RUN WITH THIS LOCKER.

NOW WE'RE GONNA GET THIS MIRROR APPRAISED,

SEE IF WE GOT OURSELVES A GRAND SLAM.

- I PAID 300 BUCKS FOR THIS BEDROOM SET

AND I KNOW I CAN MAKE A GREAT PROFIT ON IT.

OH, IT'S A NICE LITTLE WICKER-RATTAN BED SET.

THEY'RE VERY DESIRABLE.

THIS IS A LITTLE BETTER QUALITY ONE,

BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST WICKER.

THEY ACTUALLY HAVE THE IRON PIECES IN HERE.

PROBABLY BRING, UH, PROBABLY BETWEEN 600 TO 700 BUCKS.

I'VE PROBABLY TRIPLED MY MONEY

JUST ON THE BEDROOM SET ALONE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WE GOT IN HERE.

ANYTHING ELSE NOW IS JUST ICING ON THE CAKE.

MISCELLANEOUS CLOTHES.

SO HERE'S SOMETHING.

I HOPE.

IT'S GOT A LITTLE WEIGHT TO IT.

OH, WOW. LOOK AT THIS.

THIS APPEARS TO EITHER BE BONE OR IVORY.

OH, MY GOD. THIS IS REALLY COOL HERE.

THIS IS, UH, SOMEBODY'S LITTLE JEWELRY COLLECTION.

THIS IS ALL HAND-CARVED.

THIS IS SOME KIND OF A SCRIMSHAW, WHAT THEY CALL THAT.

THESE LOOK LIKE THEY'RE PROBABLY JADE

OR SOME KIND OF STONE LIKE THAT.

THIS IS AMAZING.

I MEAN, YOU BUY A SMALL ROOM AND SOMETHING

THIS GREAT POPS OUT.

I'M NOT POSITIVE THAT 100% OF IT'S GONNA BE AUTHENTIC,

BUT I KNOW A LOT OF IT'S GONNA BE AUTHENTIC

AND THE MAIN THING IS I KNOW WHO TO TAKE IT TO

TO GET IT AUTHENTICATED

AND TO GET THE MAXIMUM DOLLAR FOR IT.

- SO WE FOUND THIS OLD-LOOKING MIRROR

IN THIS UNIT WE BOUGHT.

NOW WE'RE GONNA TAKE IT TO AN ANTIQUE DEALER.

SEE IF IT'S ACTUALLY WORTH ANYTHING.

SO HERE IT IS.

HERE'S THE MIRROR THAT WE CALLED ABOUT.

- OKAY, WELL, LET ME TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

BEAUTIFUL PIECE.

LOOKS TO BE SILVER, BUT THERE'S A WAY

YOU CAN TELL SILVER FROM SILVER PLATE.

SILVER WILL BE SWEET AND NOT SMELL.

SILVER PLATE WILL SMELL LIKE SULFUR

OR A SOUR SMELL.

SO LET'S, UH...

YEP, IT'S DEFINITELY, UH, SILVER PLATE.

SMELL THAT.

- OH, MY SNIFFER'S BROKEN RIGHT NOW.

- REALLY? THE SMELL?

IS THIS DUDE PUNKING ME?

- YOU SMELL THAT? - IT SMELLS LIKE CRAP.

- YEAH, JUST TAKE A WHIFF OF THAT.

- GET IN THERE, MARK.

OH, AS LONG AS IT SMELLS LIKE MONEY,

I DON'T GIVE A [bleep].

- THIS IS A VERY WELL-BUILT PIECE.

THEY USED A HONDURAS MAHOGANY,

WHICH IS THE TOP GRADE MAHOGANY.

THE OVERALL VALUE OF WHAT I SEE THIS PIECE IS AT

RIGHT NOW IN ITS PRESENT CONDITION...

$1,500.

- NICE. - YEAH.

- GOOD JOB.

TODAY WAS [bleep] AWESOME.

WE BEAT DAVE, WE FILLED OUR SHELVES,

AND WE SCORED, LIKE, 3 Gs IN ANTIQUES.

YOU SHOULD GIVE BRANDI THAT.

SHE WANTS HALF MY MONEY ANYWAYS.

[chuckles]

- I'M HERE AT THE MOTORSPORTS MUSEUM

IN POMONA, CALIFORNIA, TO MEET A COUPLE OF OLD FRIENDS OF MINE.

THESE GUYS ARE HOT ROD LEGENDS.

ALEX XYDIUS AND PETE CHAPOURIS.

HOPEFULLY THESE GUYS WILL BE ABLE TO TELL ME

IF THAT HOT ROD MAGAZINE IS THE MCCOY.

TWO OF THE COOLEST OLD DINOSAURS TO EVER ROAM THE EARTH.

- THANK YOU. - YOU ARE SO KIND.

- THIS MUSEUM IS HOME TO SCORES

OF VINTAGE, RACING, AND HISTORICAL VEHICLES.

YOU GOT TO TELL ME, ALEX.

THE BELLY TANKER.

YOU PILOTED THIS THING, CORRECT?

- I DID. - IN WHAT YEAR?

- 1952.

WE WENT 198 WITH IT.

- CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE GOING 198 MILES AN HOUR

IN THIS PRECISION-BUILT DEATH TRAP.

- WELL, I SCREAMED A LOT WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT.

- I'LL BET YOU DID, SIR.

- I DID. I DID.

- THIS IS THE MAGAZINE I FOUND IN ORANGE, CALIFORNIA,

IN LOCKER, AND PAID 850 BUCKS.

YOU'RE THE EXPERTS.

- WELL, WE BROUGHT ANOTHER ORIGINAL

TO COMPARE IT WITH SO WE CAN BE SURE.

- THAT'S THE ORIGINAL?

- IT'S AN ORIGINAL. - THAT'S THE ORIGINAL.

- LOOKS A LITTLE SMALL TO ME.

- THIS IS WORTH OVER 2 GRAND.

THAT ONE'S PROBABLY WORTH...

I'M SORRY, BARRY. $10.

- WOW.

WELL, ALEX...

I THOUGHT I HAD THE REAL MCCOY.

- BARRY, I THINK YOU'VE GOT THE DECOY.

- THANKS, PAL...

FOR ALL THE GOOD NEWS. - YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU. - PETE.

- SORRY ABOUT THAT, BARRY. - ANYTIME.

- WELL, SEE YA.

I REALLY DIDN'T MAKE VERY MUCH MONEY TODAY,

BUT I HAD A LOT OF FUN.

- HEY, HEY, HEY. YOU FORGOT YOUR MAGAZINE.

- THROW IT UNDER A CAR AND CATCH SOME OIL WITH IT.

- I'M GONNA TAKE THIS BOX OF JEWELRY THAT I FOUND

OVER TO DON PRESLEY, THE AUCTIONEER.

HE SPECIALIZES IN THE HIGHEST-QUALITY MERCHANDISE.

HE'S GONNA GET ME THE BEST BANG FOR THE BUCK.

GOOD, DON. - WHAT DO YOU GOT?

LET'S SEE WHAT YOU GOT THERE.

- TAKE A LOOK AT THIS STUFF.

I MEAN, I'M PRETTY EXCITED BY IT.

RAN ACROSS ALL THIS IN A STORAGE AUCTION.

- I THINK THIS IS SOME SORT OF COMPOSITE HERE.

THE QUALITY'S NOT REALLY GOOD ON THESE.

THE WAY YOU CAN REALLY TELL THIS

WHENEVER YOU GET SOME IVORY IS YOU TAKE A HOT PIN,

HEAT IT UP WITH A LIGHTER, AND JUST GET THIS PIN HOT.

YOU CAN STICK THAT PIN COMPLETELY IN THERE.

- OH, YOU CAN SMELL IT TOO. - YEAH, YEAH.

SO THIS IS DEFINITELY PLASTIC.

- THAT'S NOT WHAT I WANT TO HEAR.

- THIS, THAT'S PLASTIC.

- THAT'S PLASTIC RIGHT THERE?

- THAT'S NO GOOD FOR YOU.

HERE'S SOME NICE PIECES HERE.

SEE, THIS IS DEFINITELY IVORY.

SEE THE GRAIN HERE? - YEAH.

- YOU CAN SEE THE GRAIN IN THE IVORY.

THE REST OF THIS IS ALL-- THIS IS ALL IVORY.

SEE THE GRAIN HERE? - MM-HMM.

- AND, UH, I MEAN, YOU GOT SOME NICE PIECES IN HERE.

WELL, LIKE THIS RETAIL WOULD PROBABLY BE...

UH, UH, BETWEEN $150 TO $300 RETAIL FOR THAT.

UH, THIS BIGGER ONE IS PROBABLY ABOUT $300.

YOU JUST GOT TO-- YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF IT.

I WOULD SAY-- WITH ALL OF THIS,

I WOULD SAY $1,500, $2,000 MINIMUM.

- WITH THE ESTIMATE THAT DON JUST GAVE ME,

I'M UP 1,000% ON A UNIT.

THIS IS MONEY IN THE BANK.

- WHOA. WHOA.

LET'S PUT THAT OVER HERE FOR A SECOND.

- IS THAT SOMETHING GOOD? - YES, SIR.

DAVID, YOU HAVE A CLUE WHAT THIS IS?

IT'S A LIBATION CUP AND THIS IS RHINOCEROS HORN.

THE RHINO HORN IS-- YOU DON'T SEE A LOT OF IT

ON THE MARKET.

IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE.

I WOULD SAY $3,000 FOR THIS PIECE.

- 3,000 BUCKS FOR THIS? - 3,000 FOR THAT ONE.

THE PAIR? ABOUT 2,500.

- THAT'S AMAZING. KEEP GOING. KEEP GOING.

- I WOULD SAY THAT THE TWO PENDANTS,

DEFINITELY WITHOUT A DOUBT RHINO HORN,

2,000 APIECE FOR THOSE TWO.

- OH, MY GOD. ARE YOU SERIOUS?

- SERIOUS. - WOW.

I WAITED ON THE RIGHT LOCKER.

I WAITED ON THE RIGHT AUCTIONEER.

PATIENCE PAYS OFF.

I'M GLAD I BROUGHT IT TO YOU.

YOU DO WHAT YOU DO BEST.

- WELL, DAVE, I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING IT IN

AND I'M SURE IT'S GONNA BRING YOU AT LEAST $10,000

AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

- FANTASTIC.

narrator: THE WINNER OF THE ORANGE AUCTION
