That's really cool.
I can't move.
I be broken down.
All right.
[auctioneer chant]
100 bucks.
Jarrod's bidding?
Perfect time to mess with him.
Two.
[auctioneer chant] - Yep.
400. Can I get 5?
I'm at 5. Can I get 600?
Six.
Nine.
Yeah.
13.
[auctioneer chant]
Yeah.
Yes.
Two.
Wait for it.
Yeah.
[auctioneer chant]
Yeah.
I got 23, 24, 25, 26.
Wait for it.
28, 27.
Yes.
28, 29, 29.
Now's a good time to drop it on Jarrod.
Yeah.
I got 3,000.
What about 3,100?
Going once.
3,000 bid for 3,100 going twice.
Jarrod, 3,000.
$3,000.
$3,000?
I don't even need a security guard for Jarrod.
But he need an EMT after that because he hurting.
Ah!
I can't move.
I be broken down.
You ready for this?
I'm ready, Jarrod.
This is the one.
I spent three grand on this unit,
but it's a small price to pay if I can save Long Beach
and prove Brandi wrong.
Brandi, come a little closer, please.
You can look at this stuff while we're pulling it out
and tell me if it's worth keeping or if it's trash.
OK.
It's an off-shore division tracking system.
Maybe they tracked fish?
Yeah, there's an anchor on it, and it
says it's a tracking system.
Yeah, it's some kind of tracking system.
It definitely looks scientific.
You know, just this morning, Jarrod watched
three episodes of "Mr. Wizard."
We're getting it looked at.
That's for sure.
Brandi thinks this thing's a fish tracker.
I just want it to track down some money.
Don't get too close to the sharks.
So excited right now.
We're at The Aquarium of the Pacific.
And we're hoping researcher Josh Jones can tell us what
this fish tracker is worth.
This is the uh-- the gizmo.
OK, so you brought something cool for me.
What you have here is an acoustic tracking system.
Right here, you attach an underwater microphone.
And you take another device that makes a sound,
makes like a chirp or a ping.
Chirp!
And you put it on something--
What was it?
Chirp!
[laughs]
So that little thing-- the pinger-- makes a sound,
the hydrophone that's plugged in here receives it,
and then this unit tells you how far away it is.
What's missing from your system is
the thing that makes the sound and the thing
that receives the sound.
You use it to listen to sounds of animals.
Whales and dolphins and porpoises, they all make sound.
Fish make sounds.
They make grunky sounds and farty sounds.
You can listen to a fish fart.
[laughs]
You can do that with whales.
I don't know why that's hilarious.
I actually have a hydrophone.
If you want, we can put it in a tank and see if we can listen.
See if the fish are singing.
OK.
[ominous sounds]
OK, so we're ready.
All right, so the hydrophone's in the water.
And here we go.
Here we go.
[chewing]
That's him chewing.
That's crazy.
You hear the crunches?
Oh, he got it.
[rustling]
That's what it sounds like when they're eating your foot.
That's really cool.
So what do you think?
A system like this, oceanographers
can pay upwards of $5,000.
5 grand?
Not for this system, the newer ones.
What's this one worth?
Maybe 300 bucks.
At this point, I might as well jump in the shark tank.
$200 paper weight.
Thank you.
All right.
See you guys later.
Looks like Darrell's interested in this unit.
Let's see how much I can run him up.
And you're going to get the unit and the bike stand.
[auctioneer chant]
Five right there.
1,000. 11.
Now 12, 12.
[auctioneer chant]
15 now, 15, 15.
2,000.
22 and a half. [auctioneer chant]
25.
Bid 25.
I got 3,000 bucks.
[auctioneer chant]
3,500, 4,000.
Did I miss the pot of gold in the back of this unit?
5,000.
[auctioneer chant]
Yup.
Oh, now who Hester's ready for battle?
Well, come on chump monkey.
55 [auctioneer chant].
57 and a half.
I got 5,500.
57 and a half.
Yup.
[auctioneer chant]
Bring it on.
Yup.
They can go at it.
These idiots are bidding themselves up.
Yup.
60, 350, 60, 450, 60, 550 now.
I'm starving for attention.
[auctioneer chant] 6,750 going once.
I've got 6,650 going twice.
Fair warning.
[inaudible] Sold it your way.
6,650 big bucks, Darrell.
Now, that's what I call a blow to the empire.
Dave's going to have to make an appointment with me
to come visit his bikes.
That's all I can say.
I beat Dave out of this motorcycle locker for 6,650.
And now I'm back to pick through it.
The heck is this?
What is this thing?
It's a blow gun.
Oh, wow, look up in there.
The darts and stuff are in there,
but poison can linger in the darts.
Don't touch the darts.
We might go get that checked out.
I'm excited.
This blow gun looks authentic.
I can get another $1,000 from the box
of monitors, the motorcycle gear,
and the miscellaneous crap.
But I'm still two grand from breaking even.
Got him.
That rabbit's dead.
You just got done telling me about some poisonous ones
that you touched and got real sick.
It's true.
My lips are numb.
I'm upside down on the locker I paid 6,650 for.
So I'm bringing the blow gun that I found to primitive art
collector Bamboo Ben.
Don't laugh.
That's his name.
Bamboo Ben.
Yeah.
Hey, we've bought this thing.
I don't know if it's a Margarita straw or whatever it is.
It's a blow gun.
To me, it kind of looks like it might be from Borneo.
It's a bamboo piece.
It's a really thin, hollow bamboo.
This is for a belt clip.
So when they have their sash on or their belt,
they put it on there and they put their darts inside.
The more markings, the more animals they've killed.
Oh, OK.
This guy was deadly.
Here's a lizard, a snake.
Right here we have monkeys.
What do you think thing's really worth?
Well, if it was an original from the 1800s, I'd say $2,000.
Not bad.
Nice.
Where are we at with this?
I have a buyer in Vegas who owns a tiki bar.
He might be interested in it for, say, 50 bucks.
50 bucks?
With the holster, the blow gun, and all the darts,
you can get them online for $39.99 Sorry.
I'm just going to pack that up and take it home.
This locker was a total bust.
But seeing Dave put those two little motorcycles
in those three big trucks takes the hurt right away.
You know, this is a very competitive business.
I might need this.
All right.
If you're almost ready to go, I'm almost ready to go.
Here we go.
How much, how much, how much money where.
500.
- [auctioneer chant] - Six.
Six there. [auctioneer chant] seven.
1,100.
11 there.
[auctioneer chant]
Yup.
It looks like Ivy might have got a little too drunk.
I just might have to take advantage of that.
[auctioneer chant] What about 14?
What about 14?
What about 15 now?
Yup.
What about 16 now?
What abut 1,600?
What about 17 now. I got 16.
- Yup. - How about 18?
17, 18.
How about 18?
1,800, 1,800.
What about 1,850?
1,800, 18 and 1/2.
Yup.
19 now.
1,850, 1,900.
19, what about 1,950.
1,950 here.
1,900.
I think you paid the Hester tax.
[auctioneer chant] 1,950 going twice.
[auctioneer chant] got it going on.
Sold it to you, $1,900.
Ooh, baby!
I just can't help myself.
When I see tools, I always spend too much.
I was really happy about this room,
but the Dave Hester tax makes me a little worried.
Dave bid me up to 1,900 on this one,
proving that he's the biggest tool of them all.
Oh, we got a $10 light here.
These are big drill bits here.
This is probably a $200 bucket right here.
Lot of drill bits in here.
Another 200 bucks.
(SINGING) I love tools.
Tools love me, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
(SINGING) With a pick ax, table saw,
$100 score, all these tools go in my store.
Here is the item of the day.
This right here is a jackhammer.
I know these run from a couple hundred bucks
to a few thousand bucks.
Phew.
Hope that jackhammer's worth a whole lot more
than I wish it is.
Yo, EJ!
I'm taking my jackhammer to EJ from Sanaya Construction
to see if he can jack me out a profit.
Wait.
Hey, Ivy.
- Another day of work, huh? - Oh, yeah.
Nice to meet you.
Speaking of work, I'm hoping you
can tell me a lot about this.
[drilling]
Totally.
Huh?
Let's check it out and see how it sounds.
OK.
Let's give it a shot.
I think this is going to work.
Come on, EJ.
You got to work.
Cross those fingers.
[drilling]
I would say if you got this in front of the right person,
it's worth--
[drilling]
That was a close one.
But I knew my beautiful tools would not let me down.
