ROBBIE: I got to ask.
Are the toys for sale?
I mean, this is a woody station wagon.
RON: Possible. JERSEY JON: Whoa.
ROBBIE: See, Jersey?
JERSEY JON: That thing Is nice.
ROBBIE: There's the box right there.
Yeah. RON: And it's the blue one.
Most of 'em are red.
The red one, they're a dime a dozen.
ROBBIE: Any time you find a toy from the '50s in the box,
it was magical.
Think about it.
Most kids get a toy for Christmas, open the box,
and the box was thrown away.
So when you find any type of toy with a box, it's golden.
What do you think you got to have out of it with the box?
JERSEY JON: With the box. RON: With the box?
ROBBIE: Yeah. - I've seen 'em go for $900.
But I'd probably--
6 with the box.
ROBBIE: I mean, the scratches--
I mean, look at how the kid just scratched
the windshield off of there. JERSEY JON: Yeah.
Scratched the windshield on it.
$475.
You're at $650.
$550.
Obviously, I want as much money out of the things
that I've had as possible.
These are things I've had for 20, 30, 50 years.
$500
$525?
[suspenseful music]
- Yeah. - I'm doing it.
Cool.
That box is killer. - Ooh!
- Dude. - [laughs]
- Hey. - Well, I haven't discussed it--
It's gonna hurt a little bit.
RON: It's hard selling things, but I have to get rid of stuff.
And I've got to do something with it.
I can't just let it sit.
The car-- hey, what about the car
haulers with the woodies on there, if you want to sell it?
This car hauler, it's from the '50s.
It looks played with.
It doesn't have the box.
It's just cool to see all the cars on the transport.
It's a great display piece.
How much?
$325, and that includes the cars.
That includes two cars.
Yes.
ROBBIE: I like this because it's pressed tin.
RON: Yeah. ROBBIE: I like the metal on it.
It's got the look.
I can't pay $325.
I think, in a retail setting, 300 bucks
for this in the store.
That's everything.
Yeah, because the conditions-- you know, toys are conditioned.
Yeah.
230 bucks.
I've got to leave something there at the end of this.
$260.
$250.
[laughs]
$250, that's my final offer.
$255.
5 bucks-- I got to get lunch.
[laughter]
I'll buy you lunch.
OK, $250 then.
$250.
JERSEY JON: What are we having for lunch, Robbie?
McDonald's. $1.99.
[laughs] One thing I do have for sale is a woody trailer.
Really?
A woody trailer?
RON: A 1947 cabin car.
ROBBIE: Look at this thing, Jersey.
JERSEY JON: Oh, man. ROBBIE: Wow.
JERSEY JON: Yeah. ROBBIE: Wow.
JERSEY JON: That's cool.
RON: All wood, one of four left in the United States,
the only original one left.
ROBBIE: Wow.
RON: When I first saw this woody trailer, I'd never seen one.
It turned out it's one of four left out of a thousand that
were made, so I ended up buying it and shipping
it back to Maryland. ROBBIE: Wow.
Look at the condition of this thing.
JERSEY JON: Oh, this is great.
ROBBIE: Look at this thing, Jersey.
The condition is mind blowing on this thing.
The outside has no bubbles on it, no rot.
The bottom framework attached to the trailer looks good.
Realistically, you could hook this to a station wagon
and pull it into a car show and get first place.
It's amazing. - Yeah.
ROBBIE: Wow.
All original.
Interior's all original.
The glass is all original.
The wood is all original.
ROBBIE: It's actually got a couch in here.
I love people who get excited about woodies.
My thing is, everything is the way it came from the factory.
It's been updated so that it trails properly behind a car.
But it's 100% original wood.
Has this thing ever been on the road?
RON: I towed it.
Yes.
And it towed beautifully.
ROBBIE: How many years ago?
RON: Oh, 15.
But that was basically it.
I've never slept in it, didn't travel anywhere.
I didn't want to get it wet. ROBBIE: Wow.
JERSEY JON: Wow.
I love this thing.
It's an unusual trailer because it's
made out of waterproof plywood.
During World War II, waterproof plywood was
developed to build PT boats.
After the war, it made sense to take this new technology
and put it to civilian uses.
And that's what this trailer is all about.
Built like a boat-- keeps the water out, keeps the wind.
You know, it's your home on wheels.
All right.
I'm gonna take a deep breath.
OK.
I'm ready for the number.
35.
- Hundred? - Thousand.
ROBBIE: $3,500?
Whoa.
I mean, hell, I'm just shaking your hand right now, $3,500.
Yeah.
Where did you come up with that number?
Well, one guy remanufactured it.
These are advertising for 21.
OK.
An original--
So a remanufactured one's $21,000.
Right.
But this is an original.
It's never been restored.
Yeah.
I don't know, man.
I'm seeing some sander marks on this, though, here.
And it's got latex caulking in here.
That's kind of modern.
I think this thing's been at least refinished.
ROBBIE: At one time?
JERSEY JON: I don't think this is--
Well, woodies, you do have to seal every once in a while.
JERSEY JON: They sanded it out.
But then now we're not talking original finish then.
And it's done well, but it's not done perfectly.
Look at this piece of wood right here.
OK? RON: Yeah?
JERSEY JON: And see how the bolts-- these
are modern carriage bolts.
They have galvanized fittings on here.
And now the big giveaway is look at that end piece.
See all the wormholes in that? ROBBIE: Yeah.
JERSEY JON: They would never use that in production piece.
No cabinetmaker or builder would put a wormy piece of oak
in their construction.
So that's nicely done, don't get me wrong,
but those are not original pieces to this structure.
You have to dig a little bit deeper into this
to really see what you have here.
And then, you know, we're talking about price, Robbie.
You're at 35.
I mean, I--
I'll tell you what.
What I'd like to do--
I've got a friend of mine, Vince.
I consider Vince an expert.
He owns every trailer there is to own.
I'd like to take some pictures of this
and send 'em off to him. - Sure.
ROBBIE: If you don't mind.
No, that's fine.
Because $35,000 is a big number.
Mm-hmm.
Let me jump in there, Jersey.
Vince is the Trailer King.
I've got to get Vince these photos.
He's going to tell me everything about this trailer.
VINCE (ON PHONE): Yeah?
All right, here's the deal.
I'm standing in front of the trailer right now.
What can you tell me from the pictures that I sent you?
ROBBIE: Yeah.
Yes.
Vince, it's good.
I mean, I crawled under there really well.
There's no rotten timbers in here or any rotten plywood.
ROBBIE: Honestly, Vince, it looks
to me like I could change the tires on it
and take it down the road.
Here's the biggie right now.
This is why we called you.
What are these things going for?
I'm trying to, number one, educate myself.
But I'm educating Ron too.
So, Ron, he's thinking the value of this thing is around 30, 35.
Yeah.
Right. Right.
All right, that's all I needed, buddy.
That's-- I appreciate the information.
Thank you so much.
Go enjoy the beach.
All right.
So with that being said, he's saying between 15 and 20.
Yeah.
I think, $20,000 is a retail number that we could live with.
Yup.
ROBBIE: I think it might take us some doing to get that.
I think we could be in it for $15,000,
I think we could do that.
But are you even willing to sell?
Are you even willing to play ball?
A little light.
I know.
I'm not, like, making a ton of money on it.
Yeah.
We're not the guys at the end of the rainbow
that are looking for this.
17.
Coming down a lot. That's half.
Hey, I appreciate you coming down on it.
I really, truly do.
I'll tell you what I'll do.
RON: Mm-hmm?
$15,500, that's it.
I'm tapped at that. $15,500.
Think of all the room you'll have, man.
For coolers.
I can put the coolers up here. JERSEY JON: Yeah.
ROBBIE: And that way you can actually get rid of 'em.
JERSEY JON: Yup. - Yeah.
OK. - Dude.
[laughter]
- You got a woody. - We got it.
- You got a woody. - I got a woody.
Yeah. [laughs]
Awesome.
