[music playing] - That's the wow factor, baby.
OK.
I'm real happy with this purchase.
That puts a smile on my face.
This is a lot of money for wrapping paper,
so these better be worth something.
And what this looks like to me is--
oh, wow.
This is a "Memphis Press."
This had to be from when--
the day after or the day that Elvis
died because it's special edition.
This could be big.
This is something that's just going to add up to hundreds
of dollars or thousands of dollars
or even tens of thousands of dollars, I think.
I couldn't even begin to imagine how many papers are here.
I don't know if they're worth more than a buck or two.
So I'm going take them to an expert to see what he thinks.
JOSEPH KERETA: Hi, I'm Joseph Kereta.
I'm an avid Elvis collector.
I'll take a look.
The "Memphis Press"-- this is a reprint of the five-day
event after Elvis passed away.
I believe that this one is valued at $5 minimum.
So you're looking at, what, $15,000--
$15,000-- JOSEPH KERETA: --at the low end.
--on the low end.
JOSEPH KERETA: Yeah.
Possibly, as a high end, you're looking at 30.
You have two different newspapers here.
You have the "Press-Scimitar," and then you
have "The Commercial Appeal."
I have two papers per bundle.
It turns out instead of 3,000 newspapers,
I have 6,000 newspapers.
JOSEPH KERETA: This one looks like an original release.
And this one is of some significant value.
I'm excited, you know.
JOSEPH KERETA: Now, my opinion on "The Commercial Appeal,"
based on this condition, I think you're
looking at $10 per newspaper.
Per newspaper.
JOSEPH KERETA: You have 3,000.
Now you're looking at 30 in a low end.
30 on the low end.
JOSEPH KERETA: High of 60,000.
Wow.
I just hit the jackpot.
Joseph just doubled my profit by telling me
I need to separate these newspapers.
Jarrod and Dave ran me up to 1,100 bucks on this locker.
Now I'm just trying to stay positive and see if I
can even get my money back.
OK, I'm just kind of stacking all this over here.
Grab that suitcase there.
Throw this one.
Is that one a little heavy?
Yeah, this one's got something in it.
Let's see what's happening here.
BRANDON SHEETS: Check it out, huh?
A bunch of costume jewelry.
What's in the--
I don't know, dude.
This is looking really good.
This is not looking like costume jewelry at all.
BRANDON SHEETS: How do you tell the difference?
Let me see here.
Let me take one of these out and look at the carbons
and stuff in the sunlight.
Dude, that's got a lot of sparkle, man.
I think we're into-- BRANDON SHEETS: That's good.
--the real deal.
Woo!
BRANDON SHEETS: Let me see it.
These rings are looking good.
As long as it's not some costume jewelry
from some burlesque show, I might beat the house this time.
Vegas, baby.
I'm taking all the jewelry to a local jeweler.
I don't know if it's worth $5 or $5,000,
but I'm about to find out.
Wow.
They didn't put a year down.
Shame on them.
DARRELL SHEETS: What is that?
It's a calendar on a heart.
And there's a diamond in it.
I need you to pay very special attention to this piece, OK?
Is it that nice of a piece?
Very nice piece.
You know, he keeps writing down numbers.
I'm hoping this stuff is worth so much that he
can't even keep track of it.
Let me total it for you, OK?
The bracelet, this one is 40 karat gold with diamonds.
That's about $2,000.
[cha-ching]
You got the studs here.
DARRELL SHEETS: Awesome.
They're 500. [cha-ching]
BRANDON SHEETS: Nice.
This heart, solid gold.
With the diamond on the calendar, it's about $500.
Yes.
This watch is $1,500.
- Wow! - Boom.
OK?
Then you got that Tiffany necklace, which is $1,500.
With everything together, it came out to $17,000.
- Yes! - Are you kidding?
OK?
Woo!
That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah.
That's the wow factor, baby.
OK.
That's the wow factor.
All right.
Ooh.
All right, now let's hope they're actually Suge's.
Let's see if this is monogrammed.
Oh, yes, this one is right there.
This couldn't have been any better.
It said in the label, expressly made for Suge Knight.
I'm real happy with this purchase.
And I mean that.
Now we gotta find out what it's worth.
So I'm heading to a shop called Off the Wall Antiques.
This guy really knows his stuff when it
comes to celebrity memorabilia.
Dennis.
Hey, man.
Got something unusual today.
It belonged to Suge Knight.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
I think it was Bernini Beverly Hills made this for him.
I think your best bet is to put this in auction,
because you got a really broad audience.
You know, you're talking about Suge Knight,
you're talking about Death Row Records,
it's likely that when this goes to auction,
it's going to be gobbled up by museums or nightclubs that
would certainly want to put it into a glass cage
and set it out there for everybody to see.
A garment like this, I think can easily be valued at, like,
three to five grand.
[cha-ching]
And I think you can see that kind of money--
Yeah.
--if you put it into auction.
It was a great day, man.
He said it was worth $3,000 to $5,000 at auction.
So I wish every day it was this good.
We're back at the shop.
We just spent $2,600 on this restaurant equipment.
Now we're going to see what it's worth.
You're looking at a $3,000 retail ice maker.
It's in excellent condition.
And here's a Hobart mixer that retails for $4,790,
4,800 bucks retail.
[cha-ching]
Just in this piece alone, I'm probably
going to get close to my money back
on what I paid for the unit.
And then everything else that you're
seeing come off the truck is going to be 100% profit.
1,600.
1600.
You can do the math.
A Pitco double fryer, $2,400 new.
Side by side double-door refrigerator, and that's
about 3,000 if it's all profit.
[cha-ching]
Having spent over $2,600 on this restaurant unit,
I expect to generate over $20,000.
It's a good day.
That puts a smile on my face.
[music playing]
BARRY WEISS: I got this locker for $275.
What's this?
Here's something that's bubble-wrapped.
It's a bench.
Or I don't know if it's--
I don't know.
I don't really know what it is.
Check it out.
Wow.
Ha!
Looks like a toy piano.
Oh.
Wha-- looks like we've got a baby--
baby grand, baby.
And it's just way too detailed for this to be a child's toy.
This is something that I want to be real careful with.
This is going with me today.
I'm going to take this piano to get it appraised.
And this could be very valuable, or it could turn
out to be just a dollhouse toy.
Yesterday, I bought a locker on a hunch,
and there was this little piano in it.
We're going to take it to a friend
of mine who's an expert on these things
and find out what it's worth.
It's Marshall & Wendell.
They bring them to stores like ours
to try to sell us on buying, you know,
this particular style of piano.
They've even done the cast iron plate in there.
I need for you to tell me what you actually think it's worth.
I would guess that if you were to sell this piece,
you could be getting possibly 10,
$12,000 to the right collector.
Really?
That much?
I paid 300 bucks for this bedroom set.
And I know I can make a great profit on it.
Miscellaneous clothes.
So here's something that 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 somebody's little jewelry collection.
This is all hand-carved.
This is some kind of scrimshaw.
What do 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 going to be authentic,
but I know a lot of it's going to 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.
I'm going to take this box of jewelry
that I found over to Don Presley, the auctioneer.
He specializes in the highest quality merchandise.
You can see the grain in the ivory.
The rest of this is all-- this is all ivory.
See the grain here?
Mm-hm.
And I mean, you got some nice pieces in here.
Well, like, this retail would probably be between $150
to $300 retail for that.
This bigger one is probably about $300.
[cha-ching]
You've just got-- you've got a lot of it.
I would say, with all of this, I would
say $1,500, $2,000 minimum.
Probably retail--
With the estimate that Don just gave me, I'm up 1,000%
on the unit.
This is money in the bank.
Whoa.
Put that over here for a second.
Is that something good?
Yes, sir.
David, do 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.
DON PRESLEY: 3,000-- - Nice.
DON PRESLEY: --for that one.
The pair?
About 2,500.
That's amazing.
I would--
Keep going, keep going.
I would say that the two pendants,
definitely, without a doubt, rhino horn, 2,000 apiece--
Oh, my god.
--for those two.
- Are you serious? - Serious.
Wow.
I waited on the right locker.
I waited on the right auctioneer.
Patience pays off.
