Stinky shoes and dirty clothes.
It's empty.
Portrait of a loser.
I can't wait to check out what my burrito has bought me.
Where are we going to start fishing
first in this ocean of stuff?
This is one of those where the art jumps all over the bowl.
It's got to be 50 bucks.
I mean, these are pretty cool.
I knew that this was a little dart game.
Not really worth too much, 25 bucks.
We got Davy Jones' locker here.
Stuff's all outdated, and most of it,
unfortunately, is broken.
The good thing, it's actually a pretty nice trunk.
200 bucks.
Wait a minute.
That's a pretty serious machete.
There might be something in here.
There it is, look at you.
We've got some more weapons in here.
All right.
Looks like a prison machete.
Very eclectic taste, this gentleman had.
These knives are worth maybe 150 bucks.
I think this one's probably the most
unusual with this kink in it.
This looks old.
What are they?
Pipe cleaners.
I mean, everything is just broken and twisted.
Portrait of a loser.
This is probably one of the worst decisions I've ever made.
Buying storage units, that is.
Well, let me make room for this, because if there's
anything good, it's going to have to be in there.
[sigh] Not what we hoped for.
We might have a fish on the hook.
It's one of those old horse racing like, kids' games.
The action still works on it.
And it's definitely an old piece.
Hopefully, this game will put me back in the race.
But for now, I'm just going to giddy up back to the auction.
[clicking tongue]
Let's go.
I'm taking the horse race game to Thrive Decor
to show it to my buddy, Randy.
Hopefully, he'll have some good news for me.
I have a suspicion of what this might be.
And yeah, that's what I thought it would be.
On this side, you can see the maker's mark,
is Jeu de Course, which is French for the game of race.
It's what they were all called by this maker from the 1890s up
to about 1950s.
There would be a number on here, so you can bet on it.
And actually gamble on who was going to win.
While in this right here, it used
to have-- it would be a flag or a pole, a finish line.
So that's missing.
But still, all in all, all of your horses are in great shape.
Barring that they're missing paint,
at least they're not all bent up.
Having the original lid is terrific, so we can test it.
There is an arm here I can just pull.
So you're in luck, because it works,
and that's great for value.
It could be worth $600.
This locker's already sucked all the wind out of my wallet.
You interested in this for the shop?
You know, if it's 600, I would offer to pay 300.
And what I would do is invest about 150 in restoring it,
make it look really fabulous again.
And then I'll sell it back to you for some.
No, but I'll make you a deal.
Would you go to 4, and you can own it?
Well, I could race you, and if my horse wins--
300 or 400.
- Right. - All right.
Yeah, I like to gamble like this.
All right.
Do you want to red one?
Yeah, give me the red one.
It's got to be closest to the finish line.
You tell me when to stop twirling.
There you go.
Stop twirling it!
Oh.
Barry, you-- I have to say, you won.
Did we say 3?
We said 4.
400.
OK, there you go.
I tell you what, Randy, I hope you do well.
- Thanks, buddy. - All right, pal.
Good to see you again.
Come in any time.
See ya.
I bought this unit to make a point.
What that point was?
I'm a little fuzzy about.
What do we go there?
What do we got here?
A quilt, but it's not an old one.
No, no, Christmas lights, Christmas lights.
More stinky shoes and dirty clothes.
Finally, something of value.
A dozen wooden hangers.
They're probably a buck apiece.
These are just cheap corporate art.
I don't even think they're worth 5 bucks apiece.
Probably 25 bucks worth of just frame stuff.
Well, we got something, it's brand new.
Eh, it's a brand new cable box.
20 bucks, I guess.
Well, if anything is going to get me out of this $1,500
financial funk, it's going to be in this old trunk.
It's too heavy.
Well, there's definitely something in it.
There's a lot of something.
This is it?
I don't know if these are a prosthetic?
No, they can't be a prosthetic leg.
These look to be like the remains from a cobbler.
Yeah, these are like, lasts, I think, to make shoes.
I mean, it's really fascinating stuff, especially these things.
And they're articulated right here.
I got a friend of mine, I've been
going to him for over 25 years.
We're going to take this to him.
Hey, Barry.
25 years, he's never been on time once.
You finally made it.
Pasquale and I have known each other for over 25 years.
So I'm hoping he's going to give me a good price on my shoe box.
What do you got?
You want to pull it out, you want me to go through this?
Well, I'll tell you what, I could see it was old.
And the trunk itself--
The trunk is also in leather.
It's still in pretty good shape.
It is.
And I would say the trunk is from the '20s, don't you?
I would say '30s.
Was this trunk, do you think, part of this cobbler's kit,
or it just happens to be in here?
No, this is all part of a kit.
OK.
This is how we moved around.
Really?
From the '30s-- well, we're starting out on the right foot.
All right, well, I don't want to lose
my entire soul on this deal.
How much?
Brother-in-law?
Yeah, the brother-in-law price.
I mean, how long I know you? - Too long.
I know it.
800 bucks.
Don't be such a heel.
Give me a grand, and I'll throw in the trunk to boot.
You throw in the trunk, we got a deal.
Come on.
I'm down 400, which for me, is not that bad.
I think I might just file this one in the win column.
- Hey, Barry? - Yeah?
You know what they say about guys with big feet?
No.
I love that, man.
I'm really intrigued to find out what that first thing
is inside that sofa unit.
First box of the day.
Sandpaper.
Hey, now.
Pretty far away from 1,500 plus dollars, that's for sure.
It's empty.
OK.
We've waited long enough.
Now for the reason I bought this locker.
Incredible.
And I mean it.
Look at that.
Any likeness?
This piece-- got to be a one of a kind.
The teeth appear to be actually really dentures.
They're real glass eyes.
Look at this-- there's a whole scene
going on in this guy's head.
This is something real special.
I'm glad Dave is going to help with his furniture,
because it is frickin' heavy.
Barry, let me show you something.
Forget this.
I want to show you-- this is the deal right here.
And what the hell is that?
That's the jackpot, daddy-o.
Check this out.
Look at the stuff inside there.
There's like, a gnome.
This is a demented wood sculpture guy that
had too much time on his hands.
That head is creepy.
You want to know something, Barry?
I'll guarantee you that this piece here is probably
the most valuable piece you have in the unit, worth 400 to 500.
Well, I'll take it back.
I'll sell it, whatever the final selling price is,
will split 50-50.
Dave may know furniture, but he's
wrong about that sculpture.
I think there's some money in that head.
He's going to love this one.
I sent some photos of that wood sculpture to my buddy, Dennis.
Hopefully, he's able to dig up some info on that head.
Hey, Barry.
Hey, Dennis.
How you doing?
Well I'm doing, man.
This is pretty spectacular.
Isn't it?
This is an original head.
Fabulous piece from 1972.
Now look in there.
Boy, that's really something.
Isn't that amazing?
There's pictures on the wall, there's a table with a lamp,
there's the moon out the window.
And this little troll.
It's incredible.
Now to get right to the coconut.
Yes, sir.
What do I think it's worth.
Yes, sir.
I would say that if you were in a gallery,
they would certainly ask $6,000 and maybe more.
Are you serious?
Absolutely.
That's great.
The problem is--
'Cause you're not letting it go.
Typical, Barry.
Thanks for bringing it around.
I enjoyed see it.
Buddy, I'll see you later.
Take care.
Six grand is a lot of money.
But for now, this head is sticking with me.
