- Hey, you know you're a professional auctioneer.
Yeah.
Well, I'm a professional buyer.
Let me show you how to make money.
OK.
All right.
Yeah, so 80 bucks, right?
What's the first step?
So I'll grab this.
You feel free to grab something.
So what are we doing, just like lining?
Yep, just lining up.
OK.
We got 19 bucks here, counting with the little toe.
Christmas decor.
I don't see any value there, do you?
2 bucks in there.
- 2 bucks? - 2 bucks.
Wow.
How much on the bucket?
Oh, $1 apiece.
7 bucks right there.
We've got $1 here.
Oh, hang on.
This is like a ladies model.
It's nice, and small, and light.
- You know what I see? - What?
- 2 bucks. - $2.
$2.
Blankets.
$2, $2 right there.
Wait, you're going to sell those?
I sell everything.
Gross.
Rocks.
These aren't just normal rocks.
These are, like, designer rocks.
$2 worth of rocks.
Oh, skateboard.
This is 10 bucks.
It's a cheapie.
Wow, when I say cheapie, I mean cheapie.
Yeah, yeah.
Still think you can get 10 bucks?
Yeah.
Man, now this is what I call a good bad guitar.
You can't even air guitar play that thing.
Sure you could.
Still 2 bucks.
Oh.
I feel weight.
All right, what do we got?
No paperwork, no paperwork.
Maybe it's cash.
Oh.
A slide projector.
Yes, sir.
Now, sometimes we put these slides online.
If they've got some cool stuff on them,
or creepy stuff, or weird stuff, you get extra money.
Anyways, this whole thing, assuming that works--
35 bucks.
OK.
You want to know what's wrong with this Kirby?
There's no cord.
Exactly.
That's OK.
Those are easy to find.
They're easy to find.
I'm just a little lazy.
So I'll sell it as is.
For what?
20 bucks.
Woo, that's a steal on a Kirby.
Yeah, right there.
That's my money back.
Everything else is gravy on ivy's cake.
You like gravy on your cake?
I like gravy on everything.
Now you know what this is?
Record player.
Damn.
Ah!
A sewing machine.
Hey, this is actually a pretty clean one.
Singer.
How about 75 bucks for this, case and all.
And you questioned me about buying this locker.
Well, I didn't know that was in here.
Official now.
Whatever.
OK.
Now, right here, that's 20 bucks.
Is there anything in it?
Come on, be good.
Be good.
Unh.
Woo!
Is that, like, a motor or something?
Yep.
Weird-looking motor.
Like, a one-cylinder.
Racing stripes.
Oh, yes, got compression.
Here's a steering wheel.
Uh-huh.
We got this.
Oh, there's the muffler.
What is this, like a little, like--
That probably hooks right there.
Like a dune buggy?
[vocalizing]
And there's a carburetor.
Yes!
I love taking stuff apart.
But putting it together is a whole different story.
Time to seek professional help.
I just want to hear one thing before I leave.
You know what I want to hear?
Professional.
There we go.
Let's load it up.
The job ain't done yet.
Come on.
Benny!
What's going on?
How's it be?
I'm taking my motor to my buddy Ben.
If it uses gas and goes fast, he knows all about it.
Looks like you got gold in the box here, man.
Yeah, looks like it.
What we got here is a Briggs and Stratton
world formula engine.
As small as it is, it's a 260 c motor that's pumping
between 12 and 14 horsepower.
That little thing?
Packing quite a bit of power there.
You can definitely hit anywhere from 60 to 70 miles an hour
with that setup-- easy.
Good, because I don't like to go under 50.
Let's see.
We got some additional parts.
You got an air filter, starter solenoid.
We do have our exhaust header.
That's important.
You got a wall [inaudible] slide carb here.
We got most of our parts here.
So the next step here, does she run?
Have you done anything with that?
Threw it in a box.
It sounds like Ivy.
You know I'm lazy.
I just bring you crap.
All right, let's see if she fires up or not.
It's a little bit easier in the intake.
Give her a pull.
[engine starts]
It works.
And she runs.
I know what that means.
That means money.
Woo!
Huh.
Well, we know it works now.
That's right.
Do I got all the parts, some of the parts?
You're pretty much complete.
You even got a vintage steering wheel here.
Depending on whether you want to install it on the vehicle
or not, this is definitely one of those items
that the guy is trying to build a vintage go
cart was looking for.
An engine that's running, with all the parts.
Where do you think I'm at?
In the condition it's in, I'd say probably about $450.
Woo!
Now that's what I call fast money.
[engine revs]
