All right, let's hope I find some treasurers.
[music playing]
Dave tried his old, mean trickery again.
But he went home empty handed, and I didn't.
Let's see.
Ooh, some little toys in there.
This box, $20.
Oh, it's a old speaker, $10.
I'm assuming this is trash, yeah.
Oh, $2 in nickels.
Take that.
Ooh-hoo-hoo, crusty shoes galore.
Ahh!
This feels like a box of crusty plush.
Yeah, this is just--
who knows what anyone did in that shirt.
This stuff would be great if I ran marysgrimes.com.
Two nice pieces of art, $60.
$20 for the set of these things.
OK, and these weird looking body parts.
Oh, I think this is an old school [gasps] pogo, no way.
This is like--
[gasps] look at that brass.
Authentic replica of original 1918 pogo stick.
Oh, this one's like electronic I think.
Oh my god, this is so cool.
Oh my god, they're all so different.
I mean, it looks like someone, you know,
pogoed through the ages.
You know, you go from retro to like modern.
This thing, it's like an air pressured one or something.
So I've got to get these checked out.
They're just way too cool.
And they're something I've never seen before.
Let's go pogo!
I think this is probably a huge headboard.
Looks like leather.
At least $100.
What the heck is this?
Oh my god, it's a TV.
I mean, this thing is awesome, space age gloriness, $200.
And then this little wickedness.
This looks like it's just all crusty plush.
Ooh-hoo-hoo, looks like the laundry basket.
So OK.
You know, I found a little bit of trinkets
that I could make some money on.
But I didn't make as much as I wanted to.
So I'm really hoping that these pogo sticks just
bounce me into the prophet.
Nope.
Here we go.
One of the pogo sticks I found is made by Vurtego Pogo.
So I decided to go right to the source
to learn more about them.
Let's just start with the one on top right here.
OK.
I recognize this guy.
It's a Rawlings pogo stick made by the company
makes the baseball gloves.
They made this back in the late '90s.
It's a typical spring pogo stick for kids.
So does this competition mean anything fun?
Uh, Competition's for brother or sister
out in front of the house doing how many bounces you can get.
It only goes to 999 so--
Wow.
You know, the brother always gets past that
and sister never does.
[sound effects]
Um, I beat my brothers at a lot of things, Ian.
It's a cool pogo stick, but it's nothing special.
OK, well, what about this guy?
[music playing]
This, I believe, is the first pogo stick.
Really?
IAN BRITT: Yeah, and I can tell because there's
no handlebars on it.
They would hold it and jump on this thing
and slip and miss the pegs.
And they would smash their face on here.
Yeah.
So they decided, oh, we need to put some handlebars on top
of it instead of this little stick that runs
right through people's chins.
So this is a replica of the original SBI pogo stick.
SBI?
SBI was the pogo stick company.
You've got the two pillar design and the spring in the middle
here.
And this is how pogo sticks still work today.
WOMAN: Yeah.
They haven't really changed the design a whole lot.
So--
OK, now it's my favorite one.
OK, the pogo stick with streamers.
So cute.
As far as I can tell, this one was done in the '60s.
They're original.
IAN BRITT: How cool do you look--
These haven't been replaced.
IAN BRITT: --while these things are
flying around when you jump.
WOMAN: I know.
It's the best thing ever.
Yeah.
OK, so before we get to the head honcho, how much are
all these pogo sticks worth?
I would say, if you're combining them all--
[drum roll]
--you're probably going to get around $300.
OK, not bad.
OK, so we got the last one.
This is obviously my favorite.
So you started this pogo stick line.
All those guys use a spring, a metal spring.
Yeah.
IAN BRITT: This one uses air.
Can you show me how this thing works?
IAN BRITT: Yeah.
The standard bike pump.
And the more air that you put into it,
the higher you can jump.
OK, this thing is good to go.
It's holding air.
Cool.
Do a quick little jump on it, just
to make sure we're good to go, that it's all still lubed up
and everything.
[chuckles] Whoa.
That's no joke.
So this is your creation.
It is.
So how much we talking here?
Brand new, this guy is going to be $420.
Nice.
IAN BRITT: It looks like it's in pretty good condition.
And it's limited edition color that lots of people still want.
So probably $375 for this guy.
Nice.
Well, before I sell it, I want to try it out.
Yeah, let's go find some grass.
WOMAN: OK.
