1
00:00:16,283 --> 00:00:17,951
(phone ringing)

2
00:00:18,085 --> 00:00:19,152
MIKE: Dani D, what's up?

3
00:00:19,286 --> 00:00:20,654
ROBBIE: What's up, Dani?
DANIELLE: Hey, guys,

4
00:00:20,787 --> 00:00:21,955
what you got going
on this morning?

5
00:00:22,089 --> 00:00:23,190
MIKE: We made it to Spokane.

6
00:00:23,323 --> 00:00:24,791
DANIELLE: You made it all
the way up to Spokane?

7
00:00:24,925 --> 00:00:26,927
MIKE: This town is so cool,

8
00:00:27,060 --> 00:00:28,896
that the Arby's sign is neon.

9
00:00:29,029 --> 00:00:30,631
DANIELLE: Oh yeah,
Spokane's the spot, man.

10
00:00:30,764 --> 00:00:32,299
MIKE: What are we doing,
where are we going?

11
00:00:32,432 --> 00:00:34,568
DANIELLE: Mike, this pick,
I specifically

12
00:00:34,701 --> 00:00:35,969
pulled out just for you.

13
00:00:36,103 --> 00:00:37,905
MIKE: Cool.
DANIELLE: I'm going to send you
to meet Dan.

14
00:00:38,038 --> 00:00:40,340
He has a 200,000
square-foot warehouse.

15
00:00:40,474 --> 00:00:42,843
ROBBIE: What!
MIKE: 200,000 square feet?

16
00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:44,678
ROBBIE: 200,000 square feet.

17
00:00:44,811 --> 00:00:46,813
You sure you're not putting
extra zeroes on that?

18
00:00:46,947 --> 00:00:49,049
DANIELLE: Nope,
it's 200,000 square feet.

19
00:00:49,182 --> 00:00:51,151
It used to be Spokane Dry Goods.

20
00:00:51,285 --> 00:00:53,153
ROBBIE: Man, that sounds
really cool.

21
00:00:53,287 --> 00:00:55,589
DANIELLE: He's filled
this building up with
architectural salvage.

22
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:56,857
ROBBIE: Why is the guy selling?

23
00:00:56,990 --> 00:00:58,325
DANIELLE: He's trying
to sell the whole building.

24
00:00:58,458 --> 00:01:00,560
MIKE: Okay.
DANIELLE: Maybe move to
a new part of the country.

25
00:01:00,694 --> 00:01:02,629
MIKE: Does he have anything
besides architectural salvage?

26
00:01:02,763 --> 00:01:04,531
DANIELLE: I mean, honestly,
there's so much in there,

27
00:01:04,665 --> 00:01:06,300
you're just going to have
to find out for yourself.

28
00:01:06,433 --> 00:01:08,035
ROBBIE: 200,000 square
feet, I'd say so.

29
00:01:08,168 --> 00:01:09,436
DANIELLE: Alright,
I'll send you the details.

30
00:01:09,570 --> 00:01:11,605
(upbeat music)

31
00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:13,941
ROBBIE: I think it's
right here somewhere.

32
00:01:14,074 --> 00:01:15,609
MIKE: That's it right there,
this is it.

33
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:17,711
ROBBIE: This whole thing.
MIKE: What'd he say,
go to the loading dock?

34
00:01:17,844 --> 00:01:19,479
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Wow, look at
the size of this building.

35
00:01:19,613 --> 00:01:20,747
ROBBIE: Wow!

36
00:01:20,881 --> 00:01:22,282
MIKE: Get the flyer.

37
00:01:23,517 --> 00:01:25,752
(Robbie laughs)

38
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:30,257
MIKE: Imagine the damage
we could do if we had a...
space like this, yeah.

39
00:01:30,390 --> 00:01:31,825
ROBBIE: You ain't kidding there.

40
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,293
This thing's freakin' massive.

41
00:01:33,427 --> 00:01:35,462
Dan. Hello!
MIKE: Wow, this is cool.

42
00:01:35,596 --> 00:01:37,998
MIKE: Restoring buildings
for as long as I have,

43
00:01:38,131 --> 00:01:41,568
I've been in and out
of a lot of architectural
salvage places.

44
00:01:41,702 --> 00:01:43,337
ROBBIE: How're you doing,
is Dan around?

45
00:01:43,470 --> 00:01:45,472
WOMAN 1: I don't know, he's
floating around here somewhere.

46
00:01:45,606 --> 00:01:47,274
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
WOMAN 1: Oh, hi.

47
00:01:47,407 --> 00:01:50,110
MIKE: All of them are driven
by the same thing,

48
00:01:50,243 --> 00:01:53,413
which is passion.
Passion for restoration,

49
00:01:53,547 --> 00:01:56,083
passion for preservation.

50
00:01:56,216 --> 00:01:59,987
I mean, understanding
that like, all of these
little pieces matter.

51
00:02:00,887 --> 00:02:02,622
WOMAN 1: Alright, here you go.
MIKE: Hey, the man himself.

52
00:02:02,756 --> 00:02:04,391
DAN: Hi, how're you doing?
MIKE: Heard a lot about ya.

53
00:02:04,524 --> 00:02:06,193
DAN: Yeah thanks.
ROBBIE: How're you doing?
Good to see ya.

54
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:07,628
MIKE: Hey, this is my brother,
Robbie, I'm Mike.

55
00:02:07,761 --> 00:02:10,030
DAN: My name is Dan Oberhauser,
and I'm from Spokane,

56
00:02:10,163 --> 00:02:12,499
Washington, born and raised
here. I do salvage,

57
00:02:12,632 --> 00:02:15,068
that's what I call it.
This is a salvage business.

58
00:02:15,202 --> 00:02:17,204
I do sell windows and doors
to the public,

59
00:02:17,337 --> 00:02:19,940
and that's my mainstay,
is my own business.

60
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:21,308
MIKE: How long have
you had this place?

61
00:02:21,441 --> 00:02:23,043
DAN: Uh, this building
I bought in '91.

62
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:24,778
ROBBIE: How long did it
take you to fill it up?

63
00:02:24,911 --> 00:02:26,213
WOMAN 1: Not long.
(laughs)

64
00:02:26,346 --> 00:02:27,648
DAN: Not very, not very.
ROBBIE: Really.

65
00:02:27,781 --> 00:02:29,950
DAN: At the end of the day,
you have something to show
for it,

66
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:33,320
you have more to show for it
than working an 8-hour job.

67
00:02:33,453 --> 00:02:35,222
ROBBIE: Every floor on
this building's full.

68
00:02:35,355 --> 00:02:36,490
DAN: Right.
WOMAN 1: It's cram-packed, yeah.

69
00:02:36,623 --> 00:02:38,058
DAN: Everything in here
I packed in here.

70
00:02:38,191 --> 00:02:40,794
DAN: I had one job once,
the neighbor kid across
the street

71
00:02:40,927 --> 00:02:44,331
talked me into going
to M Scamp's Chicken Hatchery,

72
00:02:44,464 --> 00:02:47,200
it was down here about
a mile-and-a-half
on Third Street.

73
00:02:47,334 --> 00:02:50,637
DAN: Shoveling duck poop
and chicken (bleep)
all day long.

74
00:02:50,771 --> 00:02:53,173
And I thought, God,
I don't know how you do that.

75
00:02:53,306 --> 00:02:55,208
I stuck it out the day,
but I didn't go back

76
00:02:55,342 --> 00:02:56,576
and I didn't get
a cheque for it.

77
00:02:56,710 --> 00:02:57,511
(laughs)

78
00:02:57,644 --> 00:02:58,445
MIKE: Look at that light.

79
00:02:58,578 --> 00:03:01,148
DAN: Those come from
Helena, Montana,

80
00:03:01,281 --> 00:03:02,416
but they're probably
Oscar Bach.

81
00:03:02,549 --> 00:03:04,251
He did the Empire State
Building,

82
00:03:04,384 --> 00:03:07,354
all the bronze work on it,
and he did a lot
of other lighting and--

83
00:03:07,487 --> 00:03:09,589
MIKE: Really.
DAN: You know, the castings
and stuff

84
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:11,591
are really good castings.
It's spectacular,

85
00:03:11,725 --> 00:03:13,427
and I mean, he did
that type of work.

86
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,162
DAN: You know, I love it all.

87
00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:18,432
I mean, quality, you know,
it's hard to pass it up.

88
00:03:18,565 --> 00:03:20,300
I mean, they're just,
there's not very much

89
00:03:20,434 --> 00:03:24,271
of it out there,
but the spectacular stuff
is just... beautiful.

90
00:03:24,404 --> 00:03:25,739
I mean, it's beautiful.

91
00:03:26,807 --> 00:03:30,077
MIKE: What's going on
with this here? This "Best"
piece with the stars.

92
00:03:30,210 --> 00:03:31,912
This display.
Where did that come out of?

93
00:03:32,045 --> 00:03:34,514
DAN: That's a buggy whip holder.
ROBBIE: I was going to say,
it's a buggy whip.

94
00:03:34,648 --> 00:03:38,218
ROBBIE: This was a display
that stood in a mercantile
basically, back in the day.

95
00:03:38,351 --> 00:03:40,187
And it was for buggy whips.

96
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,522
When you were driving
your horses back in the 1800s,

97
00:03:42,656 --> 00:03:45,392
you would buy your buggy whip
off of this display.

98
00:03:45,525 --> 00:03:48,428
DAN: I've had it quite a while,
but not too many people
know what it is.

99
00:03:48,562 --> 00:03:49,830
ROBBIE: Is this Star?
DAN: Yeah.

100
00:03:49,963 --> 00:03:51,064
ROBBIE: This is Star.
DAN: Yeah.

101
00:03:51,198 --> 00:03:52,799
ROBBIE: This is made
in Galva, Illinois.
DAN: Yeah.

102
00:03:52,933 --> 00:03:54,801
ROBBIE: Galva's like 45 minutes
from our hometown.

103
00:03:54,935 --> 00:03:56,870
DAN: Oh okay.
ROBBIE: Yeah. And this,

104
00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:59,873
Star Manufacturing
is still in business today.

105
00:04:00,006 --> 00:04:02,142
ROBBIE: Star Manufacturing
started in the late 1800s

106
00:04:02,275 --> 00:04:04,945
in Galva, Illinois.
They actually made the stars,

107
00:04:05,078 --> 00:04:07,214
like the architectural stars
that went on the outside

108
00:04:07,347 --> 00:04:10,150
of buildings that masons
would use to pull
the brick together.

109
00:04:10,317 --> 00:04:12,552
Then they started doing
these display units.

110
00:04:12,686 --> 00:04:15,689
MIKE: I had no idea
that my brother was
a buggy whip historian.

111
00:04:15,822 --> 00:04:17,424
(laughs)
MIKE: What are you
thinking on that?

112
00:04:17,557 --> 00:04:19,593
DAN: Probably a couple
of grand for that, you know.

113
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:20,527
MIKE: Really.
DAN: Yeah.

114
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:23,196
MIKE: 1,200 bucks.
DAN: 1,200 bucks?

115
00:04:23,330 --> 00:04:24,664
Boy, you're beating me up.

116
00:04:24,798 --> 00:04:26,133
MIKE: Not too bad.
ROBBIE: We're taking it home.

117
00:04:26,266 --> 00:04:28,268
DAN: Not too bad?
ROBBIE: We're taking it back
to its roots.

118
00:04:28,401 --> 00:04:30,403
MIKE: ...to where it was from.
I mean, it is what it is.

119
00:04:30,537 --> 00:04:32,272
DAN: How about 1,850?
MIKE: Yeah, I can't do that.

120
00:04:32,405 --> 00:04:33,874
I got to have some sort
of margin on it.

121
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:36,343
So it was a 3-tier system,

122
00:04:36,476 --> 00:04:38,912
I mean, it'd be something
that you could repurpose,
like the--

123
00:04:39,045 --> 00:04:41,047
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: This first level,

124
00:04:41,181 --> 00:04:42,315
you could put stuff on it.

125
00:04:42,449 --> 00:04:43,517
This one you'd have to put

126
00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:45,418
some sort of piece
of glass or something.

127
00:04:45,552 --> 00:04:47,087
DAN: Or you could hang
stuff on it too.

128
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:49,389
MIKE: I mean, I'd be a player
at 1,200. I think,

129
00:04:49,523 --> 00:04:52,893
to be honest with you,
if it was in my area,
I think it'd be 18.

130
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:54,628
DAN: Well, you got to work
with me a little more.

131
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:56,563
MIKE: I mean,
I love the base of it.

132
00:04:56,696 --> 00:04:58,832
ROBBIE: It's on wheels.
MIKE: Let's get all this stuff
off of it.

133
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:01,635
Oh yeah... look at this thing!

134
00:05:02,936 --> 00:05:05,605
ROBBIE: Now... see this would
have gone up, Mike.

135
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,608
MIKE: How about 1,300 bucks?

136
00:05:08,742 --> 00:05:10,644
DAN: How about 1,450?
MIKE: 1,350.

137
00:05:10,777 --> 00:05:12,913
MIKE: You know, a long time ago,
an old picker said to me,

138
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,015
"Hey man, you make your money
when you're buying it,

139
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:16,550
not when you're selling it."

140
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:18,985
Meaning, you got
to buy it right.

141
00:05:19,119 --> 00:05:20,487
You know, him and I
both know that.

142
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:21,822
(laughing)
So we're just...

143
00:05:21,955 --> 00:05:24,291
we're literally, our hands
are this close to each other.

144
00:05:24,424 --> 00:05:25,926
MIKE: 1,350.
ROBBIE: 1,350.

145
00:05:26,059 --> 00:05:28,161
DAN: 1,400. It's got
to be an even number.

146
00:05:28,295 --> 00:05:30,096
MIKE: I can't...
There's not enough--

147
00:05:30,230 --> 00:05:33,200
You-you-- I can't haul
this across the country
to make 400 bucks.

148
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:34,734
DAN: Well, you'll make it
on something else.

149
00:05:34,868 --> 00:05:35,702
You know, this is a...

150
00:05:35,836 --> 00:05:36,937
MIKE: Okay, you'll make it

151
00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:38,838
on something else. 1,300 bucks.

152
00:05:38,972 --> 00:05:41,675
DAN: No, you were at 1,350.
MIKE: Alright, 1,350.

153
00:05:41,808 --> 00:05:43,910
MIKE: We're literally standing
there with our hands

154
00:05:44,044 --> 00:05:46,112
inches apart from each other.

155
00:05:46,246 --> 00:05:48,048
We both want to shake,

156
00:05:48,181 --> 00:05:49,649
but we both want
to have our way.

157
00:05:49,783 --> 00:05:51,918
DAN: How about 14?
(laughs)

158
00:05:52,052 --> 00:05:53,119
MIKE: Make it on something else.

159
00:05:53,253 --> 00:05:54,421
DAN: Come on... make it
on something else?

160
00:05:54,554 --> 00:05:55,956
ROBBIE & MIKE: You make it
something else.

161
00:05:56,089 --> 00:05:57,224
DAN: I'll double up
on something else.

162
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:58,892
MIKE: Alright, do it, okay.
ROBBIE: Hey.

163
00:05:59,025 --> 00:06:01,528
MIKE: The deciding factor
was that he was going

164
00:06:01,661 --> 00:06:03,029
to get me on something else.

165
00:06:03,163 --> 00:06:04,297
ROBBIE: Now you just got
to find...

166
00:06:04,431 --> 00:06:06,132
I don't know,
150 buggy whips.

167
00:06:06,266 --> 00:06:07,968
(laughs)

168
00:06:08,101 --> 00:06:09,436
MIKE: Maybe he'll
forget about that.

169
00:06:09,569 --> 00:06:10,837
MIKE: Alright, what
else you got here?

170
00:06:10,971 --> 00:06:12,606
DAN: We haven't
even got started.

171
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,774
MIKE: People are literally
trying to recreate

172
00:06:14,908 --> 00:06:18,245
so much of this stuff,
and you really don't have to

173
00:06:18,378 --> 00:06:20,747
if you take the time
to hunt for it.

174
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:22,949
ROBBIE: This one actually looks
like it's actually comfortable.

175
00:06:23,083 --> 00:06:25,018
MIKE: There's so many of these
places out there that have

176
00:06:25,151 --> 00:06:26,686
this architectural
salvage stuff,

177
00:06:26,820 --> 00:06:29,689
that we really all
need to embrace it, you know,

178
00:06:29,823 --> 00:06:31,958
we truly do, because it's great
for the environment,

179
00:06:32,092 --> 00:06:33,793
you're not making something new.

180
00:06:33,927 --> 00:06:35,528
ROBBIE: You see this, Mike?
MIKE: Yeah, it's great.

181
00:06:35,662 --> 00:06:38,265
ROBBIE: All glass.
DAN: It's English and it's cool.

182
00:06:38,398 --> 00:06:40,367
MIKE: You know, you're also
buying something old

183
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:42,702
that has a story to it.
There's history there.

184
00:06:42,836 --> 00:06:44,471
ROBBIE: What do you got
to have on this thing, Dan?

185
00:06:44,604 --> 00:06:45,772
DAN: 1,150.

186
00:06:45,906 --> 00:06:47,707
MIKE: And a light that's $1,000,

187
00:06:47,841 --> 00:06:49,776
you know, might be $200 more

188
00:06:49,910 --> 00:06:52,946
than a light that you're looking
at at a big-box store.

189
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:54,848
But when you're sitting there
in front of the fireplace,

190
00:06:54,981 --> 00:06:57,350
and you're looking up at it,
you find yourself

191
00:06:57,484 --> 00:06:59,219
with more of a sense of pride,

192
00:06:59,352 --> 00:07:02,022
more of a connection
to these older pieces.

193
00:07:02,155 --> 00:07:04,124
MIKE: Wait, he's got a
Goodrich sign there, Robbie.

194
00:07:04,257 --> 00:07:06,226
ROBBIE: Yeah, this
is the early Goodrich.

195
00:07:06,359 --> 00:07:08,862
ROBBIE: The logo on this
is the early brand for Goodrich.

196
00:07:08,995 --> 00:07:11,698
So this sign probably
dates to the 1930s.

197
00:07:11,831 --> 00:07:13,500
ROBBIE: It's not in bad shape,
it's actually marked,

198
00:07:13,633 --> 00:07:14,868
self-framed.

199
00:07:15,001 --> 00:07:17,003
ROBBIE: It's self-framed,
it's porcelain,

200
00:07:17,137 --> 00:07:18,471
large and in charge.

201
00:07:18,605 --> 00:07:20,540
ROBBIE: A lot of guys
are neon-ing these now.

202
00:07:20,674 --> 00:07:21,775
Just punching them in neon

203
00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:23,476
'cause it's got that
self-framing on the outside.

204
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:25,578
DAN: Is that right? Huh.
ROBBIE: Is that for sale?

205
00:07:25,712 --> 00:07:27,580
DAN: What are you going
to offer me for it?

206
00:07:27,714 --> 00:07:28,748
Offer me too much,

207
00:07:28,882 --> 00:07:31,151
you beat me up on
the buggy whip thing, come on.

208
00:07:31,284 --> 00:07:33,687
DAN: Antique business
is a tough business, you know.

209
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:34,921
ROBBIE: 800.

210
00:07:35,055 --> 00:07:36,790
DAN: You're 100 below
what I paid for it.

211
00:07:36,923 --> 00:07:38,425
(laughs)
DAN: I paid nine.

212
00:07:38,558 --> 00:07:40,060
ROBBIE: Wow.
DAN: Yeah. I'm being honest
with ya.

213
00:07:40,193 --> 00:07:41,494
But it's a great...
ROBBIE: I'll help you out,

214
00:07:41,628 --> 00:07:44,064
I'll just give you 950.
DAN: Heck, here we go.

215
00:07:44,197 --> 00:07:46,700
(group laughing)

216
00:07:46,833 --> 00:07:50,003
DAN: I sell stuff to make
a living, but I mean, I...

217
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:52,472
don't have to do it,
but I enjoy doing it, you know,

218
00:07:52,605 --> 00:07:53,807
I enjoy working.

219
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:55,575
DAN: How about 1,000?
I make 100,

220
00:07:55,709 --> 00:07:57,410
and you make a couple hundred.

221
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:02,449
MIKE: His margins are slim,
but he's got cool stuff.

222
00:08:02,582 --> 00:08:04,951
DAN: Well, you got to pay
for the cool stuff.

223
00:08:05,085 --> 00:08:07,087
It's just the way it is.
MIKE: I know. Oh yeah, I know.

224
00:08:07,220 --> 00:08:08,888
DAN: Alright.
MIKE: What'd you do,
how much did you pay?

225
00:08:09,022 --> 00:08:10,256
ROBBIE: 1,000 bucks.
MIKE: 1,000 bucks?

226
00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:11,891
DAN: I made 100 bucks.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

227
00:08:12,025 --> 00:08:14,627
DAN: I make a little on it,
and let it go down the road,

228
00:08:14,761 --> 00:08:17,263
you know, it's just kind
of a revolving door,

229
00:08:17,397 --> 00:08:20,000
but you touch it for a while
and then it's gone, you know.

230
00:08:20,633 --> 00:08:22,535
MIKE: What age were you
when you first started

231
00:08:22,669 --> 00:08:26,139
buying things that were more,
I guess, decorative?

232
00:08:26,272 --> 00:08:28,575
DAN: I mean, well I started
collecting when I was about

233
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:30,443
seven years old.
I had a paper route, you know,

234
00:08:30,577 --> 00:08:31,511
on the east side of town.

235
00:08:31,644 --> 00:08:33,480
DAN: I just had an interesting
life growing up.

236
00:08:33,613 --> 00:08:35,482
I mean, as a paper boy
and stuff,

237
00:08:35,615 --> 00:08:37,016
and it was on
the east side of town,

238
00:08:37,183 --> 00:08:39,152
so the bars, there were probably
20 bars.

239
00:08:39,285 --> 00:08:41,154
I was in and out of the bars
selling papers,

240
00:08:41,287 --> 00:08:43,089
and I mean, I dealt with
a lot of people that,

241
00:08:43,223 --> 00:08:45,458
some were shady
and some were good.

242
00:08:45,592 --> 00:08:48,661
I learned to deal
with people at an early age.

243
00:08:48,795 --> 00:08:51,297
DAN: And I would go to
St. Vincent de Paul

244
00:08:51,431 --> 00:08:53,400
and stuff and pick up
stuff and drag it home.

245
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:55,301
DAN: At seven, I was dragging
stuff home,

246
00:08:55,435 --> 00:08:57,070
I didn't know what
I was dragging home, you know.

247
00:08:57,203 --> 00:08:58,438
(laughs)
It's just...

248
00:08:58,571 --> 00:08:59,706
a seven-year-old, you know.

249
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,241
DAN: It wasn't really
good stuff,

250
00:09:01,374 --> 00:09:03,076
but it got me started,
that's, you know...

251
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,544
MIKE: Yeah.
DAN: ...kind of
the way it started.

252
00:09:04,677 --> 00:09:06,079
DAN: It started early.

253
00:09:06,212 --> 00:09:07,647
MIKE: Whoa!
What about the alligator?

254
00:09:07,781 --> 00:09:10,116
DAN: Alligator, okay.
MIKE: Oh yeah.

255
00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:12,886
There ain't much to him, man,
he's been hollowed out.

256
00:09:14,454 --> 00:09:16,356
It's full of newspaper...
DAN: Hide all your cash

257
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:18,324
in that guy,
nobody will mess with it.

258
00:09:19,259 --> 00:09:21,394
MIKE: What are you
thinking on him?

259
00:09:21,528 --> 00:09:24,164
DAN: Well I mean, I had him
for sale for 850,

260
00:09:24,297 --> 00:09:26,132
but I know that's not
going to work with you, so...

261
00:09:26,266 --> 00:09:28,034
(laughs)

262
00:09:28,168 --> 00:09:29,536
MIKE: What's going
to work with me?

263
00:09:29,669 --> 00:09:32,439
DAN: I'm hoping you're
feeling bad for me,
950 would be really nice.

264
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:33,973
MIKE: Arghh...
DAN: You know, but...

265
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:36,076
MIKE: I think you can still buy
these things, can't ya?

266
00:09:36,209 --> 00:09:37,477
DAN: Yeah, I think you can.

267
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:40,447
MIKE: In Florida today, you can
buy alligator back scratchers,

268
00:09:40,580 --> 00:09:42,715
alligator fritters,
alligator heads.

269
00:09:42,849 --> 00:09:44,551
I mean, the point
I'm trying to make is,

270
00:09:44,684 --> 00:09:47,487
you can buy an alligator
like this in Florida still.

271
00:09:47,620 --> 00:09:49,956
MIKE: But... this one just
has the look.

272
00:09:50,090 --> 00:09:51,558
It's got a lot of age to it,

273
00:09:51,691 --> 00:09:54,394
and that to me,
is what makes it valuable.

274
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:56,229
ROBBIE: He's just cool
'cause he's old.

275
00:09:56,362 --> 00:09:57,897
DAN: Yeah, he's cool,
'cause he's old.

276
00:09:58,031 --> 00:09:59,699
MIKE: This is going to be like,
you know,

277
00:09:59,833 --> 00:10:01,701
in somebody's trophy room
on the wall,

278
00:10:01,835 --> 00:10:03,536
or maybe like in a bar

279
00:10:03,670 --> 00:10:06,473
with like a tiki bar
type atmosphere.

280
00:10:06,606 --> 00:10:08,641
It's about the esthetic.

281
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,544
MIKE: 500 bucks.
DAN: 500 bucks?

282
00:10:11,678 --> 00:10:13,513
ROBBIE: Your arm started
twitching there for a second,

283
00:10:13,646 --> 00:10:15,014
I thought you were actually
going to shake it.

284
00:10:15,148 --> 00:10:16,416
DAN: I paid 450 for it.

285
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:17,617
ROBBIE: You made
another 50 bucks.

286
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,886
DAN: Alright, 500 on this
one, next one's harder.

287
00:10:20,019 --> 00:10:21,888
MIKE: Alright. 500 bucks.
I like it.

288
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:24,257
MIKE: I'm looking for things
that are unique and unusual.

289
00:10:24,390 --> 00:10:26,092
This won't be around
the shop long.

290
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,702
MIKE: What do you got
on the moose head?

291
00:10:35,835 --> 00:10:37,737
DAN: 55 on.
MIKE: Yeah.

292
00:10:37,871 --> 00:10:38,972
Alright, which way are we going?

293
00:10:39,105 --> 00:10:40,607
How do we get upstairs?
ROBBIE: We're going... upstairs.

294
00:10:43,343 --> 00:10:45,578
MIKE: I'm thinking this
is the motorcycle elevator.

295
00:10:45,712 --> 00:10:47,881
DAN: This is a cool elevator.
MIKE: This is fast!

296
00:10:48,014 --> 00:10:49,249
ROBBIE: Wow.
DAN: It's really fast.

297
00:10:49,382 --> 00:10:50,750
MIKE: Holy crap, man.

298
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:52,218
DAN: Yeah, it goes at 5...
MIKE: It's moving.

299
00:10:52,352 --> 00:10:53,319
DAN: 500 feet per minute.

300
00:10:53,453 --> 00:10:56,322
Put in, you know,
back in the '80s,

301
00:10:56,456 --> 00:10:58,992
well not '80s,
this one was put in the '50s.

302
00:10:59,125 --> 00:11:00,260
MIKE: Alright.

303
00:11:01,761 --> 00:11:03,263
Whoa, my gosh.
ROBBIE: Wow.

304
00:11:03,396 --> 00:11:04,831
MIKE: Look it, there's
airplanes over there.

305
00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:06,432
ROBBIE: A couple of them
right there, Mike.

306
00:11:06,566 --> 00:11:07,934
DAN: There's 150 of them
up here.

307
00:11:08,034 --> 00:11:10,637
They come out of the state,
out of McMinnville, Oregon.

308
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:12,238
ROBBIE: You bought them all.
DAN: Yeah.

309
00:11:12,372 --> 00:11:14,073
ROBBIE: Look at this plane
over here, Mike.

310
00:11:14,207 --> 00:11:16,042
Has this got a motor in it?
DAN: Yeah.

311
00:11:16,176 --> 00:11:17,610
They're all motorized, yeah.

312
00:11:17,744 --> 00:11:19,178
DAN: Somebody spent hours,
each one of them

313
00:11:19,312 --> 00:11:20,713
is tons of hours,

314
00:11:20,847 --> 00:11:24,117
it's either a dad and a son
or somebody building that.

315
00:11:24,250 --> 00:11:25,752
MIKE: One guy had
all these planes?

316
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:27,687
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: I'm digging these...

317
00:11:27,820 --> 00:11:29,889
...prints, man.
The prints are cool.

318
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:31,324
ROBBIE: Are the all
of airplanes, Mike?

319
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:32,559
MIKE: Yeah.
DAN: Yeah.

320
00:11:32,692 --> 00:11:34,260
DAN: I bought a bunch of stuff
out of their estate,

321
00:11:34,394 --> 00:11:36,629
and there were some spectacular
stuff in there.

322
00:11:36,763 --> 00:11:38,631
Prints and stuff of air racing.

323
00:11:38,765 --> 00:11:40,333
MIKE: What do you want
for stuff like this?

324
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:41,968
DAN: Prints?
MIKE: Yeah, like these prints.

325
00:11:42,101 --> 00:11:43,770
Robbie just had his hand there.

326
00:11:43,903 --> 00:11:44,837
DAN: 100 bucks apiece.

327
00:11:44,971 --> 00:11:47,273
MIKE: You got one, two, three,
four of them.

328
00:11:47,407 --> 00:11:48,441
DAN: Yeah.

329
00:11:48,575 --> 00:11:50,343
MIKE: Some have a little bit
of water damage to them,

330
00:11:50,476 --> 00:11:51,344
not much.

331
00:11:51,477 --> 00:11:52,412
MIKE: These are older prints,

332
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:54,047
they're great subject matter,

333
00:11:54,180 --> 00:11:55,315
they're already framed.

334
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:59,052
It'd be cool to keep them
all together on one wall.

335
00:11:59,185 --> 00:12:00,553
MIKE: 60 bucks apiece.

336
00:12:01,287 --> 00:12:04,357
DAN: That's a little light,
I thought I was being
nice at 100.

337
00:12:04,490 --> 00:12:06,593
MIKE: Oh, I thought
I was being generous at 60.

338
00:12:06,726 --> 00:12:08,161
(laughs)

339
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:11,164
MIKE: You got four of them.
How about 75 apiece?

340
00:12:11,998 --> 00:12:13,800
DAN: How about 90 bucks apiece?

341
00:12:13,933 --> 00:12:15,435
MIKE: 80 bucks.
DAN: 85.

342
00:12:15,568 --> 00:12:16,736
MIKE: 80 apiece.
DAN: 85.

343
00:12:16,869 --> 00:12:18,204
ROBBIE: 80.
MIKE: Oh you already...

344
00:12:18,338 --> 00:12:19,505
DAN: 85.
(laughing)

345
00:12:19,639 --> 00:12:21,274
MIKE: Alright, 85 apiece.
ROBBIE: 85.

346
00:12:21,407 --> 00:12:23,276
MIKE: I want to check out
some of these planes over here,

347
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:26,646
they look pretty cool.
ROBBIE: If you have 200,000
square-foot as a collector,

348
00:12:26,779 --> 00:12:29,082
you're going to fill it up.
You're not pigeonholed

349
00:12:29,215 --> 00:12:31,851
by anything that you want
to buy. You can buy anything.

350
00:12:31,985 --> 00:12:34,087
MIKE: Robbie, there's a ton
of them over here, dude.

351
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:35,755
ROBBIE: Dude, look at
the size of this thing.

352
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:38,258
MIKE: Oh my gosh!
ROBBIE: Holy (bleep)!

353
00:12:38,391 --> 00:12:40,660
ROBBIE: Dan could buy 100 light
posts and put them in here,

354
00:12:40,793 --> 00:12:43,563
he could buy 200 cars and
put them in
here.

355
00:12:43,696 --> 00:12:45,198
MIKE: I like that one.
ROBBIE: This one.

356
00:12:45,331 --> 00:12:46,532
MIKE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

357
00:12:46,666 --> 00:12:48,034
MIKE: So this is something
you just went in

358
00:12:48,167 --> 00:12:49,836
and you're like, hey,
I'll just take the collection.

359
00:12:49,969 --> 00:12:53,606
DAN: Right. 35 grand I paid,
for 150 planes, so...

360
00:12:53,740 --> 00:12:54,807
MIKE: Okay.

361
00:12:54,941 --> 00:12:56,276
MIKE: $35,000.

362
00:12:56,409 --> 00:12:57,644
Passion buy.

363
00:12:57,777 --> 00:12:59,512
But, that's how he got
all this stuff

364
00:12:59,646 --> 00:13:01,247
and that's why he's successful
in business,

365
00:13:01,381 --> 00:13:03,349
because he's not afraid
to take chances.

366
00:13:03,483 --> 00:13:05,251
MIKE: So what are you
thinking on this one?

367
00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:07,387
DAN: I was thinking about
1,250, but you know...

368
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:09,055
MIKE: I mean...

369
00:13:09,188 --> 00:13:10,657
here's the deal,
I don't think you're that crazy,

370
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:12,258
because whoever's going
to buy it, I mean,

371
00:13:12,392 --> 00:13:14,060
they're just buying it
for decorative purposes.

372
00:13:14,193 --> 00:13:15,795
DAN: Right.
MIKE: Not a lot of people,

373
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:17,296
or anybody would fly again.

374
00:13:17,430 --> 00:13:18,564
DAN: Right.

375
00:13:18,698 --> 00:13:20,667
MIKE: What year would
you say this one was built?

376
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,269
Maybe in the '50s?
DAN: It looks like probably '50s

377
00:13:23,403 --> 00:13:26,172
DAN: Mm-hmm.
MIKE: So you're at 1,200 bucks
on this one.

378
00:13:26,306 --> 00:13:27,874
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: Okay.

379
00:13:28,007 --> 00:13:30,076
Like what about,
what about small ones like this?

380
00:13:30,209 --> 00:13:32,145
I mean, it's just a shelf piece,
you know what I mean?

381
00:13:32,278 --> 00:13:33,780
DAN: 175? I don't know.
MIKE: Yeah...

382
00:13:33,913 --> 00:13:35,415
DAN: Is that too much?
MIKE: I think it is.

383
00:13:35,548 --> 00:13:37,850
I mean, yeah, the way to buy
them is the way you...

384
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:39,585
ROBBIE: The way you bought them.
DAN: Well, buy them all

385
00:13:39,719 --> 00:13:41,821
and I'll sell them to you,
I don't have to make much on it.

386
00:13:41,954 --> 00:13:43,556
MIKE: Well, you're at, what,
you've thrown down

387
00:13:43,690 --> 00:13:45,591
35K for all of them?
DAN: Yeah.

388
00:13:45,725 --> 00:13:47,960
MIKE: Yeah, I don't want
to be that deep into them.

389
00:13:48,094 --> 00:13:49,595
To be honest with you,
and I don't have enough

390
00:13:49,729 --> 00:13:51,230
ceiling space for it.

391
00:13:51,364 --> 00:13:52,965
ROBBIE: We can't come back
with like, 400 doors,

392
00:13:53,099 --> 00:13:55,702
or you know, 150 airplanes.

393
00:13:55,835 --> 00:13:57,370
It goes back to how much
space you have.

394
00:13:57,503 --> 00:13:59,505
ROBBIE: I said, I mean, there's
stuff everywhere, it's crazy.

395
00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:01,774
ROBBIE: It's no wonder that
he has the ability

396
00:14:01,908 --> 00:14:03,476
to collect collections.

397
00:14:03,609 --> 00:14:05,611
Anybody that's got that kind
of room is going to be,

398
00:14:05,745 --> 00:14:06,879
hey, I can buy anything today!

399
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:08,981
MIKE: Dan!
DAN: Yeah.

400
00:14:09,115 --> 00:14:10,483
MIKE: What's up with this bike?

401
00:14:10,616 --> 00:14:11,684
DAN: That was my mom's bike.

402
00:14:11,818 --> 00:14:13,686
MIKE: Your mom had a boy's bike?

403
00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:17,557
DAN: Yeah. She was working
at the Naval Yard in California

404
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:19,192
where my dad and mom met,

405
00:14:19,325 --> 00:14:21,728
and she was a welder
on the battleships and stuff

406
00:14:21,861 --> 00:14:25,264
in World War II,
and he was in the Air Force.

407
00:14:25,398 --> 00:14:26,899
MIKE: I mean,
it's unbelievably clean.

408
00:14:27,033 --> 00:14:28,568
She must have never rode it.
DAN: Never rode it.

409
00:14:28,701 --> 00:14:30,336
MIKE: No one's really
ever rode this bike.

410
00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:31,838
DAN: She had 11 kids, so...

411
00:14:31,971 --> 00:14:33,506
MIKE: Well, she didn't have
any time to ride it.

412
00:14:33,639 --> 00:14:35,241
DAN: She didn't!
(group laughing)

413
00:14:35,374 --> 00:14:36,843
DAN: And she was
an excellent mom.

414
00:14:36,976 --> 00:14:38,978
MIKE: Every bicycle has a story.

415
00:14:39,112 --> 00:14:41,180
And I love his mom's story.

416
00:14:41,314 --> 00:14:44,150
That she was a welder
during World War II,

417
00:14:44,317 --> 00:14:47,987
you know, she helped raise
11 kids with that job.

418
00:14:48,121 --> 00:14:50,022
And this is something
that she spent her money on.

419
00:14:50,156 --> 00:14:51,958
MIKE: The seat's in great shape,
I mean, you got

420
00:14:52,091 --> 00:14:54,494
some paint loss here
on the chain guard,

421
00:14:54,627 --> 00:14:56,329
but I mean,
it's a Hiawatha bike,

422
00:14:56,462 --> 00:14:59,565
I mean, Hiawatha made
a lot of really deluxe bikes.

423
00:14:59,699 --> 00:15:02,068
They made no-nose, pug-nose,
long-nose.

424
00:15:02,201 --> 00:15:04,937
This is a typical
Hiawatha fork

425
00:15:05,071 --> 00:15:06,539
with this type of truss on it.

426
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:08,574
It's the base model,
but the beauty of it

427
00:15:08,708 --> 00:15:09,976
is the simplicity.

428
00:15:10,109 --> 00:15:11,844
I mean, there's no holes
in the fender,

429
00:15:11,978 --> 00:15:13,446
there was never a light.
DAN: No.

430
00:15:13,579 --> 00:15:14,914
MIKE: There was never
a rear rack.

431
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:17,850
There was never a tank.
It's just stripped down,

432
00:15:17,984 --> 00:15:19,418
base model, beautiful.

433
00:15:19,552 --> 00:15:21,521
If you look at the rims,
they're a painted rim

434
00:15:21,654 --> 00:15:23,189
with the pinstripe,

435
00:15:23,322 --> 00:15:25,458
and there's really not even
any wear to those.

436
00:15:25,591 --> 00:15:27,794
The grip was splitting here,

437
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:30,797
so they duct taped
the grip a long time ago.

438
00:15:30,930 --> 00:15:32,598
In the bike world,
in the antique bike world,

439
00:15:32,732 --> 00:15:34,333
it's a common bike...
DAN: Yeah.

440
00:15:34,467 --> 00:15:37,136
MIKE: But what's not common
about it, is its condition.

441
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:38,204
Um...

442
00:15:41,707 --> 00:15:43,576
$500.
DAN: 500's fine.

443
00:15:43,709 --> 00:15:45,244
You know, I'm going
to let you have it.

444
00:15:45,378 --> 00:15:46,612
MIKE: Alright, man,
I appreciate it.

445
00:15:46,746 --> 00:15:48,681
DAN: 'Cause it's just cool
where it's going. okay?

446
00:15:48,815 --> 00:15:49,549
MIKE: Oh my gosh, it's so cool.

447
00:15:57,356 --> 00:15:58,958
DAN: Okay.
This is the fifth floor.

448
00:15:59,091 --> 00:15:59,926
ROBBIE: Okay.

449
00:16:01,027 --> 00:16:02,695
DAN: This is where some--
ROBBIE: Is this the honey hole?

450
00:16:02,829 --> 00:16:04,363
DAN: This is where some
of the cool stuff is.

451
00:16:04,497 --> 00:16:06,599
MIKE: Oh man... look at all
this stuff right here.

452
00:16:06,732 --> 00:16:07,700
DAN: Yeah.

453
00:16:08,468 --> 00:16:09,936
MIKE: Where'd you get
the stoplight at?

454
00:16:10,069 --> 00:16:12,405
DAN: That come out
of Eugene, Oregon.

455
00:16:12,538 --> 00:16:13,673
MIKE: I love that.

456
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:17,009
MIKE: What a life!
You know, truly, I mean,

457
00:16:17,143 --> 00:16:18,911
these are all the fruits
of his labor.

458
00:16:19,045 --> 00:16:22,014
I was glad I was able
to kind of dig around

459
00:16:22,148 --> 00:16:24,917
and pick through
a lot of the areas by myself,

460
00:16:25,051 --> 00:16:27,386
because I'm having
one of those moments, you know,

461
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,555
you're in an old warehouse,
and you're looking out over

462
00:16:29,689 --> 00:16:32,391
the city of Spokane,
and then you're surrounded

463
00:16:32,525 --> 00:16:35,962
by all of the things
from buildings that

464
00:16:36,095 --> 00:16:37,330
maybe didn't survive.

465
00:16:37,463 --> 00:16:39,732
The old gates, the pillars,

466
00:16:39,866 --> 00:16:44,804
this is the... the artifacts
of so many northwest cities,

467
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:47,473
you know, and he's
the keeper of it all,

468
00:16:47,607 --> 00:16:49,008
and that's what Dan is.

469
00:16:49,842 --> 00:16:51,777
I finally get to a part
of the building

470
00:16:51,911 --> 00:16:53,312
where there's some smalls.

471
00:16:53,446 --> 00:16:54,914
MIKE: Look at the horse
leg here, Robbie.

472
00:16:55,047 --> 00:16:57,750
ROBBIE: Yeah, it's wooden.
DAN: Poor horse. I ate him.

473
00:16:57,884 --> 00:16:59,285
ROBBIE: What?
DAN: I ate the horse.

474
00:16:59,418 --> 00:17:01,420
ROBBIE: You ate the horse.
DAN: Yeah. He was slow, slow.

475
00:17:01,554 --> 00:17:03,522
MIKE: You're picking up
the horse leg, look at that.

476
00:17:03,656 --> 00:17:05,458
DAN: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Race car,

477
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:07,393
this is the... the...
MIKE: It's a Bluebird.

478
00:17:07,526 --> 00:17:08,828
That's cool, it's got
the people in it,

479
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:10,563
they're always gone.

480
00:17:10,696 --> 00:17:12,565
DAN: How about 650?
MIKE: With the leg?

481
00:17:12,698 --> 00:17:15,001
ROBBIE: How much is the leg?
DAN: This... wood horse leg,

482
00:17:15,134 --> 00:17:16,669
I'd like to keep,
just 'cause I bought property

483
00:17:16,802 --> 00:17:17,937
in Tombstone and, you know...

484
00:17:18,070 --> 00:17:19,605
MIKE: Arizona?
DAN: Yeah.

485
00:17:19,739 --> 00:17:21,607
MIKE: Really.
DAN: Old Union High School.

486
00:17:21,741 --> 00:17:23,042
Two city blocks.

487
00:17:23,175 --> 00:17:24,176
MIKE: No kidding.
ROBBIE: Two city blocks.

488
00:17:24,310 --> 00:17:25,845
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: What are you gonna
do with it?

489
00:17:25,978 --> 00:17:27,113
Move all these doors there?

490
00:17:27,246 --> 00:17:29,749
DAN: Uh, put... turn the school
and the buildings there

491
00:17:29,882 --> 00:17:32,084
into, you know,
vacation rentals,

492
00:17:32,218 --> 00:17:34,453
and then the ballpark, I'm going
to turn into a motorhome park.

493
00:17:34,587 --> 00:17:37,089
MIKE: This is the first time
that Dan is really sharing

494
00:17:37,223 --> 00:17:38,925
the master plan with us.

495
00:17:39,058 --> 00:17:40,359
And it's a big plan.

496
00:17:40,493 --> 00:17:41,961
MIKE: What year was it built?
ROBBIE: Wow.

497
00:17:42,094 --> 00:17:43,362
DAN: The school was built
in 1922,

498
00:17:43,496 --> 00:17:44,697
kind of a Spanish-looking
building.

499
00:17:44,830 --> 00:17:47,333
MIKE: An old school
in Tombstone, Arizona

500
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,368
that's two blocks
and he's doing an RV park

501
00:17:49,502 --> 00:17:51,270
and vacation rentals.

502
00:17:51,404 --> 00:17:54,574
I mean, most of us work
real hard,

503
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:58,144
so at some point in time,
we don't have to work anymore.

504
00:17:58,277 --> 00:18:00,513
But Dan works real hard,

505
00:18:00,646 --> 00:18:02,915
so he can continue
to work real hard.

506
00:18:03,049 --> 00:18:04,317
(laughs)
You know, and...

507
00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:06,252
I-I can relate to that.

508
00:18:06,385 --> 00:18:08,187
MIKE: You're going to need
that horse leg then.

509
00:18:08,321 --> 00:18:10,022
DAN: Probably.
MIKE: I mean, it's...

510
00:18:10,156 --> 00:18:12,425
You're in friggin'
cowboy country, man.

511
00:18:12,558 --> 00:18:14,694
(laughs)
MIKE: That's a big step,
I guess.

512
00:18:14,827 --> 00:18:15,962
ROBBIE: 500.

513
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,496
DAN: Okay.
ROBBIE: Alright.

514
00:18:17,630 --> 00:18:18,798
MIKE: See, it's easy for you.
ROBBIE: Man.

515
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:20,232
DAN: Yeah, I was easy for him.

516
00:18:20,366 --> 00:18:21,334
ROBBIE: For me.

517
00:18:25,071 --> 00:18:26,272
MIKE: Oh wow, look at that.

518
00:18:26,405 --> 00:18:29,075
"In token of our regard,

519
00:18:29,208 --> 00:18:32,411
the survivors of
the Old Spokane Bunch."

520
00:18:32,545 --> 00:18:33,846
ROBBIE: You know who
the Spokane Bunch was?

521
00:18:33,980 --> 00:18:36,349
DAN: I don't.
I... didn't look it up.

522
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:38,084
MIKE: Look at that,
that looks really...

523
00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:39,952
This looks European.

524
00:18:40,086 --> 00:18:42,254
DAN: It is, it's Dutch.
MIKE: It's Dutch?

525
00:18:42,388 --> 00:18:44,490
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: Alright, so what
are you thinking on all

526
00:18:44,624 --> 00:18:46,325
three of these pieces?
You got the trophy,

527
00:18:46,459 --> 00:18:48,861
you've got the coffee grinder,

528
00:18:48,995 --> 00:18:50,496
and then the plane
looks amazing.

529
00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:52,832
MIKE: Lemme see the plane.
ROBBIE: Still has the decal
on the bottom of it.

530
00:18:52,965 --> 00:18:54,600
MIKE: I know, I'm looking at it.
Still got the decal

531
00:18:54,734 --> 00:18:56,168
on the bottom of the wing.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

532
00:18:56,302 --> 00:18:58,537
MIKE: "Made in Chicago."
Halsted Street.

533
00:18:58,671 --> 00:19:00,606
ROBBIE: American Flyer.
DAN: That toy airplane

534
00:19:00,740 --> 00:19:03,376
had the original decals
on it and stuff,

535
00:19:03,509 --> 00:19:05,578
so I mean, it was in
really good shape.

536
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:07,146
I mean, usually
that stuff is gone.

537
00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:08,881
Somebody didn't play
with that one

538
00:19:09,015 --> 00:19:10,316
and it just sat somewhere.

539
00:19:10,449 --> 00:19:11,717
MIKE: 350.

540
00:19:11,851 --> 00:19:13,319
DAN: 350's a little light.

541
00:19:13,452 --> 00:19:16,122
MIKE: Okay so what--
What do you want for this?

542
00:19:16,255 --> 00:19:17,390
DAN: Uh, probably 200.

543
00:19:17,523 --> 00:19:19,025
MIKE: That's what I was
thinking, 200 bucks.

544
00:19:19,158 --> 00:19:20,593
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: Okay, and what about this?

545
00:19:20,726 --> 00:19:21,727
DAN: 250.

546
00:19:21,861 --> 00:19:23,796
MIKE: Okay, so how
about 200 on that?

547
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:25,297
DAN: Alright, those two, four.

548
00:19:25,431 --> 00:19:28,567
MIKE: Okay, so there's
400 bucks. So let's do...

549
00:19:28,701 --> 00:19:30,036
DAN: And 5... 550.

550
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:32,938
MIKE: What, 550?
DAN: Yeah. That's a good deal.

551
00:19:33,072 --> 00:19:34,373
MIKE: Oh 550 on this.
DAN: Yeah.

552
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:36,142
MIKE: Oh, I thought
you meant 550 total.

553
00:19:36,275 --> 00:19:37,877
DAN: No.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

554
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,011
(laughs)
MIKE: 375.

555
00:19:39,145 --> 00:19:40,179
DAN: That's light.

556
00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:41,781
MIKE: What's your bottom
on this?

557
00:19:41,914 --> 00:19:42,715
DAN: 450.

558
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:43,916
ROBBIE: 400 would be
a good deal,

559
00:19:44,050 --> 00:19:45,351
'cause he bought these...

560
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:47,119
MIKE: Yeah, I bought the--
How about 400 buck for this?

561
00:19:47,253 --> 00:19:48,621
ROBBIE: So $800 total.
MIKE: I'm making,

562
00:19:48,754 --> 00:19:50,623
what am I making,
200 bucks, maybe?

563
00:19:50,756 --> 00:19:52,358
DAN: You're making 200 bucks.

564
00:19:52,491 --> 00:19:53,559
MIKE: Alright, I'm making 200.

565
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:57,063
MIKE: What about these?
I saw these earlier, and...

566
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:59,265
ROBBIE: Look at that.
MIKE: I went through
a few of them.

567
00:19:59,398 --> 00:20:00,766
And so...

568
00:20:00,900 --> 00:20:02,802
DAN: What do you like?
MIKE: I like all of them,

569
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,904
I mean, any of the Western
stuff's hot.

570
00:20:05,037 --> 00:20:06,739
ROBBIE: Look at the size
of this Roy Rogers right there.

571
00:20:06,872 --> 00:20:08,074
MIKE: No, they all go
this long, Robbie.

572
00:20:08,207 --> 00:20:10,009
ROBBIE: Oh yeah,
I see what you're talking about.

573
00:20:10,142 --> 00:20:11,977
That's how long, every one
of these are that long?

574
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:13,712
MIKE: Here, give me that.
DAN: Yeah. They were

575
00:20:13,846 --> 00:20:15,047
for the theaters,
they were the posters

576
00:20:15,181 --> 00:20:16,849
they put up in the theaters.

577
00:20:16,982 --> 00:20:19,452
ROBBIE: That's actually cool.
MIKE: So what are you thinking
on something like this?

578
00:20:19,585 --> 00:20:21,153
DAN: I was thinking 300 bucks.

579
00:20:21,287 --> 00:20:23,456
DAN: And that would come out
of a really big collection

580
00:20:23,589 --> 00:20:25,458
out of California,
the guy was friends

581
00:20:25,591 --> 00:20:27,193
with Roy Rogers and stuff.

582
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:30,296
It was probably one of the best
collections in the country,
of that stuff.

583
00:20:30,429 --> 00:20:31,697
ROBBIE: Are they all
different, Mike?

584
00:20:31,831 --> 00:20:33,332
Every one of them?
DAN: Yeah, every one of them.

585
00:20:33,466 --> 00:20:35,034
MIKE: So this one's Roy Rogers,
King of the Cowboys.

586
00:20:35,167 --> 00:20:36,235
ROBBIE: Let's set this
down here.

587
00:20:36,368 --> 00:20:39,505
MIKE: And then, pull
this one on. Look at this one.

588
00:20:39,638 --> 00:20:42,308
ROBBIE: 1968.
MIKE: This one's pretty rough.

589
00:20:42,441 --> 00:20:44,543
ROBBIE: Yeah. It's worth more
'cause it says "Gay Ranchero."

590
00:20:44,677 --> 00:20:45,578
DAN: Yeah.
MIKE: Really.

591
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:46,846
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
DAN: Yeah.

592
00:20:46,979 --> 00:20:48,681
ROBBIE: These posters
are mind-blowing.

593
00:20:48,814 --> 00:20:50,316
The fact that they're
Roy Rogers.

594
00:20:50,449 --> 00:20:52,685
I mean, Roy Rogers
was one of those guys

595
00:20:52,818 --> 00:20:55,221
that they sold the little
cap guns for,

596
00:20:55,354 --> 00:20:56,956
they sold the Roy Rogers hat,

597
00:20:57,089 --> 00:21:00,359
and Trigger was one of
the most famous horses ever.

598
00:21:00,493 --> 00:21:02,361
ROBBIE: "Spoilers
of the Plains."

599
00:21:02,495 --> 00:21:04,597
MIKE: Wow.
ROBBIE: This is cool.

600
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:05,664
"Roy Rogers and Trigger."

601
00:21:05,798 --> 00:21:07,166
MIKE: "The smartest horse
in the movies."

602
00:21:07,299 --> 00:21:09,034
DAN: Yeah.
ROBBIE: 1951.

603
00:21:09,168 --> 00:21:10,736
MIKE: I love this stuff.
ROBBIE: Oh, it's awesome.

604
00:21:10,870 --> 00:21:13,506
MIKE: A lot of people
that are interested in this
are aging out.

605
00:21:13,639 --> 00:21:15,107
MIKE: But to me...
DAN: Like me?

606
00:21:15,241 --> 00:21:16,842
MIKE: Yeah, well I mean,
but like any of us,

607
00:21:16,976 --> 00:21:18,544
you know, we're all getting
older every day.

608
00:21:18,677 --> 00:21:21,347
MIKE: But I mean, to me,
a lot of this stuff is timeless

609
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,449
when you look at it
as a piece of art.

610
00:21:23,582 --> 00:21:25,651
DAN: Right.
MIKE: There was a time
not that long ago,

611
00:21:25,784 --> 00:21:27,820
when Westerns ruled
the airwaves.

612
00:21:27,953 --> 00:21:30,022
And that's all coming
back now. I mean,

613
00:21:30,156 --> 00:21:32,057
look at shows like Yellowstone,

614
00:21:32,191 --> 00:21:35,761
the biggest show in the world
right now is a Western.

615
00:21:35,895 --> 00:21:39,031
MIKE: Robbie, you know who
was Roy Rogers' biggest fan?

616
00:21:39,165 --> 00:21:40,432
ROBBIE: Trigger.

617
00:21:40,566 --> 00:21:41,600
MIKE: No, Mom.

618
00:21:41,734 --> 00:21:45,604
ROBBIE: Oh.
MIKE: We still love
these stories.

619
00:21:45,738 --> 00:21:49,141
The pioneers, our forefathers,

620
00:21:49,275 --> 00:21:51,644
the shoot 'em up,
the damsel in distress,

621
00:21:51,777 --> 00:21:54,213
all of that stuff
is still relevant.

622
00:21:54,346 --> 00:21:57,516
So these posters
are beautiful,

623
00:21:57,650 --> 00:21:59,285
they're timeless,
they're evergreen.

624
00:21:59,418 --> 00:22:01,320
MIKE: "Jesse James at Bay."

625
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:02,955
ROBBIE: George Gabby Hayes,

626
00:22:03,088 --> 00:22:04,957
a Republican Picture.
New release.

627
00:22:05,090 --> 00:22:07,092
MIKE: A Republic picture.
(laughs)

628
00:22:07,226 --> 00:22:08,460
ROBBIE: I ain't got
glasses on, man.

629
00:22:08,594 --> 00:22:09,562
(laughs)

630
00:22:09,695 --> 00:22:11,130
ROBBIE: I absolutely love
the condition of them.

631
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:13,399
Maybe the outside edge
was a little tattered,

632
00:22:13,532 --> 00:22:15,434
but when I frame
stuff up like that,

633
00:22:15,568 --> 00:22:17,403
I always make sure
the outside edge is showing,

634
00:22:17,536 --> 00:22:19,438
to make sure it looks
like it's real.

635
00:22:19,572 --> 00:22:23,776
MIKE: Cactus Caravan...
Outlaw Paradise.

636
00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:25,344
ROBBIE: Here it is, right here.

637
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:27,947
"The six longest hours a woman
ever waited for a man."

638
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,415
MIKE: Look at her,
waiting right there.

639
00:22:29,548 --> 00:22:31,217
ROBBIE: Oh she's waiting.
I'd be waiting on her.

640
00:22:31,383 --> 00:22:32,351
MIKE: Fighting above
your weight.

641
00:22:32,484 --> 00:22:33,786
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: So, on these eight,

642
00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:35,955
what are we thinking?
ROBBIE: These eight right here

643
00:22:36,088 --> 00:22:37,156
is what he's talking about.
DAN: Okay.

644
00:22:37,289 --> 00:22:38,724
MIKE: Some are in better
condition than others.

645
00:22:38,858 --> 00:22:40,426
DAN: Some are 250
and some are 350.

646
00:22:40,559 --> 00:22:43,295
MIKE: Why don't we do eight
at 2-and-a-quarter each?

647
00:22:43,429 --> 00:22:45,664
DAN: I was thinking 275,
you're thinking...

648
00:22:45,798 --> 00:22:47,399
MIKE: Yeah, but I'm thinking,

649
00:22:47,533 --> 00:22:49,702
I'm thinking what I got to do
to them to even sell them.

650
00:22:49,835 --> 00:22:51,403
(laughs)
DAN: I know.

651
00:22:51,537 --> 00:22:54,673
Just working you a little.
MIKE: 225 for all of these each.

652
00:22:54,807 --> 00:22:56,008
DAN: Each?
MIKE: Yeah.

653
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:57,243
DAN: You gotta come up a little.

654
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:58,577
MIKE: Alright, 230.

655
00:22:58,711 --> 00:23:00,412
DAN: 250, that's it.

656
00:23:00,546 --> 00:23:01,880
ROBBIE: 240.
MIKE: 235.

657
00:23:02,014 --> 00:23:02,982
DAN: 250.
ROBBIE: 240.

658
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:04,450
MIKE: Ah, you shook his hands.
DAN: 255.

659
00:23:04,583 --> 00:23:05,651
ROBBIE: 240.
DAN: 255.

660
00:23:05,784 --> 00:23:06,986
ROBBIE: 240!
MIKE: No, I'm not--

661
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,287
ROBBIE: I said 240.
MIKE: We're together,

662
00:23:08,420 --> 00:23:09,388
we're not bidding
against each other.

663
00:23:09,521 --> 00:23:10,589
ROBBIE: 240!
DAN: 250.

664
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:11,724
ROBBIE: We're done, we shook.

665
00:23:11,857 --> 00:23:13,125
DAN: No, you grabbed my hand.

666
00:23:13,259 --> 00:23:14,526
(laughs)
ROBBIE: Well, that's it!

667
00:23:14,660 --> 00:23:15,861
(group laughing)

668
00:23:15,995 --> 00:23:18,264
DAN: I'll tell you what,
I'll throw those small ones in,

669
00:23:18,397 --> 00:23:21,967
you can have the small ones
at the 2,400. There you go.

670
00:23:22,101 --> 00:23:23,402
ROBBIE: And that's it, 2,400.
MIKE: How much?

671
00:23:23,535 --> 00:23:25,371
ROBBIE: 2,400 for all of them.
MIKE: For all of them.

672
00:23:25,504 --> 00:23:26,939
MIKE: 2,400.
DAN: 2,400.

673
00:23:27,072 --> 00:23:28,974
MIKE: Dang, dude.
(laughs)

674
00:23:29,108 --> 00:23:30,109
MIKE: Alright, cool.

675
00:23:30,242 --> 00:23:31,510
MIKE: I think at one
point in time,

676
00:23:31,644 --> 00:23:33,012
my brother and I were bidding
against each other

677
00:23:33,145 --> 00:23:34,446
for the stuff.
I don't know but...

678
00:23:34,580 --> 00:23:35,881
end of the day,
he wanted to sell them

679
00:23:36,015 --> 00:23:37,850
and I think we got them
for a good price.

680
00:23:37,983 --> 00:23:39,385
MIKE: Alright man,
I'll put some tires

681
00:23:39,518 --> 00:23:41,153
on this thing and ride it.

682
00:23:43,289 --> 00:23:45,491
ROBBIE: Stick that in there,
give me that gator, I got it.

683
00:23:45,624 --> 00:23:46,725
DAN: Yeah.
ROBBIE: I got the gator.

684
00:23:48,227 --> 00:23:49,662
DAN: It wasn't that hard
to let things go.

685
00:23:49,795 --> 00:23:51,363
That's the way life
is set up,

686
00:23:51,497 --> 00:23:52,898
there's a time for everything,

687
00:23:53,032 --> 00:23:55,734
that's Ecclesiastes
King Solomon, you know,

688
00:23:55,868 --> 00:23:57,036
spoke of that, you know,

689
00:23:57,169 --> 00:23:58,537
and there is a time
to let things go.

690
00:23:58,671 --> 00:23:59,805
MIKE: You gotta get
that further in there.

691
00:23:59,938 --> 00:24:00,873
ROBBIE: I am, it's in.

692
00:24:01,006 --> 00:24:02,641
DAN: I'm Christian,

693
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:04,209
and basically I believe

694
00:24:04,343 --> 00:24:06,445
everything in here
belongs to God.

695
00:24:07,579 --> 00:24:09,181
MIKE: Woo!
ROBBIE: Dan, can I say,

696
00:24:09,315 --> 00:24:10,649
today was more than interesting.

697
00:24:10,783 --> 00:24:12,084
DAN: Yeah. Heh.

698
00:24:12,217 --> 00:24:13,719
ROBBIE: You are a guy
that's got more stuff

699
00:24:13,852 --> 00:24:15,521
than most men do in a lifetime.

700
00:24:15,654 --> 00:24:18,357
MIKE: In our business,
sometimes you find quality,

701
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:20,125
and other times
you find quantity.

702
00:24:20,259 --> 00:24:23,128
It's very rare that both
of those things collide.

703
00:24:23,262 --> 00:24:24,663
That's what happened today.

704
00:24:24,797 --> 00:24:26,031
MIKE: Alright, man.
DAN: Alright, thanks.

705
00:24:26,165 --> 00:24:27,366
MIKE: Alright, see you
down the road.

706
00:24:27,499 --> 00:24:28,767
DAN: Alright, thank you...
(honks horn)

707
00:24:28,901 --> 00:24:30,636
DAN: See you guys later.
MIKE: Hey, I'll see
you in Tombstone.

708
00:24:30,769 --> 00:24:32,504
DAN: Alright.
(group laughing)

709
00:24:32,638 --> 00:24:33,706
MIKE: Dan is a picker,

710
00:24:33,839 --> 00:24:35,741
a preservationist,

711
00:24:35,874 --> 00:24:37,409
and a hell of a negotiator.

712
00:24:43,649 --> 00:24:46,285
ROBBIE: Melanie has been on
my butt to get hearing aids.

713
00:24:46,418 --> 00:24:48,654
MIKE: Why?
ROBBIE: 'Cause she said
I talk too loud.

714
00:24:48,787 --> 00:24:50,489
MIKE: Dude, you've been
talking that loud forever.

715
00:24:50,622 --> 00:24:52,891
You've always talked loud,
and you've always
had a deep voice.

716
00:24:53,025 --> 00:24:56,729
ROBBIE: When I grow up,
I'm going to buy old rusty signs

717
00:24:56,862 --> 00:24:58,597
and sell them for profit!

718
00:24:58,731 --> 00:24:59,865
(classroom kids laughing)

719
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:02,201
(laughs)

720
00:25:02,334 --> 00:25:04,169
(phone ringing)
MIKE: Dani D, what's up?

721
00:25:04,303 --> 00:25:06,205
DANIELLE: What's happening,
Wolfe boys?

722
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:07,840
MIKE: What, heh...
ROBBIE: What do you got?

723
00:25:07,973 --> 00:25:10,509
MIKE: What do you got?
DANIELLE: So I got a pick
you guys are going to love.

724
00:25:10,642 --> 00:25:11,710
Suzie and her son, Nick.

725
00:25:11,844 --> 00:25:12,811
MIKE: Okay.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

726
00:25:12,945 --> 00:25:14,313
DANIELLE: Now Suzie's
late husband, Marty,

727
00:25:14,446 --> 00:25:16,982
was a huge collector
of anything petroliana.

728
00:25:17,116 --> 00:25:21,020
He collected for years,
and Nick, his son, loves it too.

729
00:25:21,153 --> 00:25:23,122
ROBBIE: Alright.
MIKE: Alright, Dani,
send us the coordinates,

730
00:25:23,255 --> 00:25:24,490
appreciate it.
DANIELLE: Alright.

731
00:25:24,623 --> 00:25:26,125
MIKE: Bye.
DANIELLE: Bye-bye.
See you later.

732
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:27,192
ROBBIE: See you, Dani.

733
00:25:32,598 --> 00:25:34,099
ROBBIE: Right here.
Yeah, left.

734
00:25:36,235 --> 00:25:38,537
ROBBIE: Watch your bottom here,
man, steep hill.

735
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:39,772
MIKE: Yeah.

736
00:25:41,306 --> 00:25:42,908
MIKE: Alright so...
where are we going?

737
00:25:43,042 --> 00:25:45,444
ROBBIE: Keep going up here,
just keep going, it says,

738
00:25:45,577 --> 00:25:48,447
follow around here.
It's coming up on the right.

739
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:50,482
MIKE: Alright, here we go.
ROBBIE: Yeah, right here.

740
00:25:50,616 --> 00:25:51,917
MIKE: Alright...

741
00:25:52,050 --> 00:25:53,485
(honks horn)

742
00:25:56,722 --> 00:25:58,824
SUZIE: Hi.
MIKE: Hey-hey! Are you Suzie?

743
00:25:58,957 --> 00:26:00,125
SUZIE: Yeah.
MIKE: I'm Mike, this is Robbie.

744
00:26:00,259 --> 00:26:01,960
SUZIE: Oh, hi.
MIKE: You talked
to Dani on the phone?

745
00:26:02,094 --> 00:26:03,429
SUZIE: I did.
MIKE: Hey, how's it going?

746
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:04,696
SUZIE: Fine.
MIKE: Nice to meet you.

747
00:26:04,830 --> 00:26:05,964
SUZIE & ROBBIE:
Nice to meet you.

748
00:26:06,098 --> 00:26:07,599
MIKE: Here, we're going
to give you one of these.

749
00:26:07,733 --> 00:26:09,635
MIKE: She probably went
over some of this stuff
with you, but...

750
00:26:09,768 --> 00:26:11,837
SUZIE: Oh yeah... signs...
MIKE: So what do you got going
on here?

751
00:26:11,970 --> 00:26:14,540
SUZIE: Um, well, my husband
passed away three years ago.

752
00:26:14,673 --> 00:26:15,974
MIKE: Okay. Sorry.

753
00:26:16,108 --> 00:26:17,943
SUZIE: Marty was a loyal

754
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:20,946
garage saler,
he loved most anything old,

755
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,382
he loved gas station
memorabilia.

756
00:26:23,515 --> 00:26:25,517
We had a lot of fun together,
a lot of fun collecting.

757
00:26:25,651 --> 00:26:27,186
SUZIE: Most of it's here
in the garage,

758
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:28,420
a couple of things
in here still.

759
00:26:28,554 --> 00:26:31,256
MIKE: So when you guys
were collecting together,

760
00:26:31,390 --> 00:26:32,758
like when did you start,
how long ago?

761
00:26:32,891 --> 00:26:34,626
SUZIE: Oh gosh,
well Marty's dad...

762
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,862
um, sold Chryslers,

763
00:26:36,995 --> 00:26:38,630
he worked in
the Chrysler dealership.

764
00:26:38,764 --> 00:26:40,032
And Marty's always loved cars.

765
00:26:40,165 --> 00:26:42,100
We both loved garage sales,
so we just started...

766
00:26:42,234 --> 00:26:43,302
MIKE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.

767
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:45,003
MIKE: We saw, I mean,
when we pulled up,

768
00:26:45,137 --> 00:26:47,005
he's got the car out here.
SUZIE: Oh, yeah.

769
00:26:47,139 --> 00:26:48,474
MIKE: And then you did
some sort of like,

770
00:26:48,607 --> 00:26:50,809
older gas station here?
SUZIE: Yeah.

771
00:26:50,943 --> 00:26:52,077
MIKE: Wow, look at that.

772
00:26:52,211 --> 00:26:53,579
So I don't need to tell you,
probably,

773
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:56,014
this yellow pump
is a really rare pump.

774
00:26:56,148 --> 00:26:57,850
SUZIE: Yeah, we've had that
for quite a while.

775
00:26:57,983 --> 00:27:00,018
MIKE: Have ya? Yeah, look it.
ROBBIE: It's a Wayne,

776
00:27:00,152 --> 00:27:01,253
Wayne Showcase.

777
00:27:01,386 --> 00:27:03,422
ROBBIE: The Showcase pump
is something that sat

778
00:27:03,555 --> 00:27:07,459
on the island and showcased
the products of that brand.

779
00:27:07,593 --> 00:27:09,194
MIKE: So, is this something
that you guys

780
00:27:09,328 --> 00:27:11,263
would consider selling?
SUZIE: Yeah, my son and I,

781
00:27:11,396 --> 00:27:13,599
Nick, we'll probably
want to talk about that.

782
00:27:13,732 --> 00:27:15,200
MIKE: Yeah, show us
around. Oh wow!

783
00:27:15,334 --> 00:27:17,169
ROBBIE: Wow!
MIKE: Whoa...

784
00:27:17,302 --> 00:27:19,805
ROBBIE: Whoa.
MIKE: We walk into the space,

785
00:27:19,938 --> 00:27:22,608
every inch of the walls

786
00:27:22,741 --> 00:27:26,044
are covered with
showcases, signs.

787
00:27:26,178 --> 00:27:29,114
It's kind of like
service station, diner in here.

788
00:27:29,248 --> 00:27:31,950
I mean, this place is hitting
on all cylinders.

789
00:27:32,084 --> 00:27:33,519
MIKE: Hey-hey!
NICK: Hey. How's it going?

790
00:27:33,652 --> 00:27:34,853
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
Nice to meet you.

791
00:27:34,987 --> 00:27:36,788
NICK: Nice to meet you.
MIKE: This is my
brother, Robbie.

792
00:27:36,922 --> 00:27:38,123
ROBBIE: How ya doing?
Nice to meet ya.

793
00:27:38,257 --> 00:27:39,224
MIKE: Wow!
ROBBIE: Yeah.

794
00:27:39,358 --> 00:27:40,959
MIKE: So you played
a part in this too?

795
00:27:41,093 --> 00:27:42,528
NICK: Yeah, a little bit.

796
00:27:42,661 --> 00:27:44,563
MIKE: You got every inch
of this place filled.

797
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:45,497
NICK: Yeah.

798
00:27:45,631 --> 00:27:47,432
NICK: It came from
everywhere, right?

799
00:27:47,566 --> 00:27:49,501
I mean, it came from me
buying stuff,

800
00:27:49,635 --> 00:27:51,970
my dad buying stuff,
buying things at auctions,

801
00:27:52,104 --> 00:27:54,106
estate sales, garage sales,

802
00:27:54,239 --> 00:27:57,042
driving by a farm
and seeing a gas pump

803
00:27:57,176 --> 00:27:59,077
laying down in a random field.

804
00:27:59,211 --> 00:28:01,513
NICK: You know, my dad passed
away about three years ago,

805
00:28:01,647 --> 00:28:03,749
and me and him, ever since
I was about nine or ten,

806
00:28:03,882 --> 00:28:05,851
have been collecting
gas station stuff.

807
00:28:05,984 --> 00:28:08,253
MIKE: Okay. So that's cool,
so you guys

808
00:28:08,387 --> 00:28:10,022
were like this right away.
NICK: Oh yeah.

809
00:28:10,155 --> 00:28:11,857
MIKE: Them all doing
this together,

810
00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:13,192
imagine how that would feel.

811
00:28:13,325 --> 00:28:14,960
NICK: When you're nine years old
and your dad tells you,

812
00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:16,895
hey, this is cool!
You're like, yeah, that's right!

813
00:28:17,029 --> 00:28:18,897
ROBBIE: That is cool.
That is cool.

814
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:22,701
MIKE: You know, that connection
that you have with your son,

815
00:28:22,834 --> 00:28:25,270
or with your wife, whether
you're out finding something,

816
00:28:25,404 --> 00:28:27,739
or just sitting in the space.

817
00:28:27,873 --> 00:28:29,441
MIKE: I'm looking around here,
I mean, there's just about

818
00:28:29,575 --> 00:28:31,476
every brand represented
in here.

819
00:28:31,610 --> 00:28:34,846
Was there one brand that,
like he really, really loved?

820
00:28:34,980 --> 00:28:37,049
NICK: Yes, Mobil is his go-to.

821
00:28:37,182 --> 00:28:38,116
MIKE: Okay.
ROBBIE: Really.

822
00:28:38,250 --> 00:28:40,018
NICK: Yeah.
SUZIE: And our friends' dad

823
00:28:40,152 --> 00:28:41,320
owned a Mobil station

824
00:28:41,453 --> 00:28:44,056
and that was his original
clothes that's on Dwight.

825
00:28:44,189 --> 00:28:45,557
ROBBIE: Huh.
MIKE: Oh, who's this?

826
00:28:45,691 --> 00:28:46,792
NICK: This is Dwight.
SUZIE: That's Dwight.

827
00:28:46,925 --> 00:28:48,493
NICK: He's our
attendant-slash-security guard.

828
00:28:48,627 --> 00:28:49,761
(group laughing)

829
00:28:49,895 --> 00:28:51,029
MIKE: What's the deal
with this?

830
00:28:51,163 --> 00:28:52,965
Do you know
the history of this?

831
00:28:53,098 --> 00:28:55,968
SUZIE: No, he just picked
that up somewhere at a...

832
00:28:56,068 --> 00:28:57,669
MIKE: It's a guy's wallet.
SUZIE & NICK: Mm-hmm.

833
00:28:57,803 --> 00:28:58,937
ROBBIE: Mobil.
MIKE: Is that near here?

834
00:28:59,071 --> 00:29:01,106
SUZIE & NICK: Hermiston, Oregon.

835
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:02,374
NICK: Four or five hours away.

836
00:29:02,507 --> 00:29:03,709
MIKE: I could see
why he liked that.

837
00:29:03,842 --> 00:29:05,544
I mean, especially
if he was a Mobil guy.

838
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:07,145
NICK: Yeah.
MIKE: 30 bucks.

839
00:29:07,279 --> 00:29:08,513
SUZIE: Sure.
NICK: I don't know,

840
00:29:08,647 --> 00:29:09,815
I was thinking like 500.
SUZIE: Yeah.

841
00:29:09,948 --> 00:29:11,650
(laughing)

842
00:29:11,817 --> 00:29:12,951
MIKE: 30 bucks.
SUZIE: 30 bucks.

843
00:29:13,085 --> 00:29:14,987
It's yours, it's yours.

844
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,656
MIKE: This is advertising,
it's personal,

845
00:29:17,789 --> 00:29:19,157
it's handmade.

846
00:29:19,291 --> 00:29:20,325
And it's 30 bucks.

847
00:29:20,459 --> 00:29:21,960
MIKE: Let's see
what else we got.

848
00:29:22,094 --> 00:29:25,330
MIKE: He's done a really
great job of presenting

849
00:29:25,464 --> 00:29:28,734
so many things
in a very small space.

850
00:29:28,867 --> 00:29:31,803
SUZIE: He loved this garage.
He'd come in the house,
he says, why don't you come out,

851
00:29:31,937 --> 00:29:33,338
we'll have a beer,
come out and play pinball.

852
00:29:33,472 --> 00:29:34,539
So we'd come out
and play pinball.

853
00:29:34,673 --> 00:29:37,909
MIKE: We all need a space
where we feel complete.

854
00:29:38,043 --> 00:29:41,113
That could be a garden,
it could be along a river,

855
00:29:41,246 --> 00:29:42,814
it could be in a log cabin.

856
00:29:42,948 --> 00:29:44,783
SUZIE: He'd just, "You know,
I forget I had this."

857
00:29:44,916 --> 00:29:47,286
He'd see this, he says, "Oh,
I forgot I had this one too."

858
00:29:47,419 --> 00:29:49,388
MIKE: The beauty of a collector
though is,

859
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:51,356
they don't need to travel
to the mountains,

860
00:29:51,490 --> 00:29:53,058
they don't need to travel
to that cabin,

861
00:29:53,191 --> 00:29:56,928
you know. Any space
could really be that space.

862
00:29:57,062 --> 00:29:59,097
ROBBIE: Did you do this?
NICK: Did I do it?

863
00:29:59,231 --> 00:30:00,866
ROBBIE: Somebody colored that
in with a marker or something.

864
00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:02,901
SUZIE: They did.
NICK: Oh, I did not see that.

865
00:30:03,035 --> 00:30:04,836
ROBBIE: I could see you sitting
out here, you're 9 years old...

866
00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:06,605
"Give me that can, Dad."
(laughs)

867
00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:08,907
NICK: If I painted it,
it'd be a lot worse than that.

868
00:30:09,041 --> 00:30:11,176
ROBBIE: Cruiser Oil?
I mean, it's got a cruiser

869
00:30:11,310 --> 00:30:12,644
coming straight at ya.

870
00:30:12,778 --> 00:30:13,945
It doesn't get any
better than that.

871
00:30:14,079 --> 00:30:15,047
ROBBIE: 150.

872
00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:16,415
SUZIE: That works.
ROBBIE: Alright, thanks.

873
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:17,416
(laughs)
ROBBIE: Yeah.

874
00:30:22,087 --> 00:30:23,455
MIKE: So cool.

875
00:30:24,990 --> 00:30:28,060
What about this
Delco Battery display?

876
00:30:28,193 --> 00:30:29,895
ROBBIE: Oh wow.
MIKE: The condition of this
is pretty amazing.

877
00:30:30,028 --> 00:30:32,230
SUZIE: Yeah.
MIKE: But if you look really
close at it,

878
00:30:32,364 --> 00:30:34,132
you can see that
it's all been painted.

879
00:30:34,266 --> 00:30:35,934
You see the brushstrokes in it.

880
00:30:36,034 --> 00:30:38,804
But the column here's
original paint.

881
00:30:38,937 --> 00:30:40,605
You know, think of the use
this had

882
00:30:40,739 --> 00:30:42,307
with heavy batteries on it...
SUZIE: Mm-hmm.

883
00:30:42,441 --> 00:30:44,342
MIKE: ...dragging them on
and off, and even some leakage,

884
00:30:44,476 --> 00:30:46,511
all that kind of stuff.
I just noticed this.

885
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:50,415
SUZIE: Battery checker?
MIKE: Yeah.

886
00:30:50,549 --> 00:30:52,984
So basically,
this hung on the side

887
00:30:53,118 --> 00:30:55,854
of the shelf, and it was
a tender for the batteries.

888
00:30:55,987 --> 00:30:59,458
So this would have been actually
part of the unit itself.

889
00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:01,560
SUZIE: Oh okay.
MIKE: No matter what
you collect,

890
00:31:01,693 --> 00:31:03,562
whether it's galoshes

891
00:31:03,695 --> 00:31:05,297
or fishing equipment,

892
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:07,733
point-of-sale is a great way

893
00:31:07,866 --> 00:31:08,967
to display your collection

894
00:31:09,101 --> 00:31:11,002
that's authentic.

895
00:31:11,136 --> 00:31:12,337
MIKE: How about...

896
00:31:12,471 --> 00:31:16,308
the display,
with this tender,

897
00:31:16,441 --> 00:31:17,676
500?

898
00:31:17,809 --> 00:31:18,944
SUZIE: Sure.
MIKE: Okay.

899
00:31:19,077 --> 00:31:21,646
MIKE: And what service station
would be complete

900
00:31:21,780 --> 00:31:25,016
without a battery
point-of-sale display?

901
00:31:25,150 --> 00:31:27,819
ROBBIE: Hey, I wanted to ask
you about this Lee Tire sign.

902
00:31:27,953 --> 00:31:29,821
This is masonite.

903
00:31:29,955 --> 00:31:32,157
ROBBIE: Masonite is
a manufactured wood, basically.

904
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:34,226
It's sawdust
with glue particles.

905
00:31:34,359 --> 00:31:36,895
ROBBIE: These were basically
made during the War,

906
00:31:37,028 --> 00:31:38,497
you know, during
the metal shortages.

907
00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:40,198
What's that say?
I don't have my glasses on.

908
00:31:40,332 --> 00:31:41,333
NICK: G-0144.

909
00:31:41,466 --> 00:31:43,435
ROBBIE: So it would
have been 1944.

910
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:46,404
ROBBIE: In gas and oil,
masonite signs are very rare.

911
00:31:46,538 --> 00:31:48,273
A lot of them got thrown
in the garbage.

912
00:31:48,406 --> 00:31:49,574
ROBBIE: The condition of it
is amazing.

913
00:31:49,708 --> 00:31:51,209
If this had the frame
around it,

914
00:31:51,343 --> 00:31:53,845
you're probably talking
16, 1,800 bucks,

915
00:31:53,979 --> 00:31:56,014
if it had the frame on it.
$1,000.

916
00:31:56,148 --> 00:31:57,783
NICK: I could probably do 1,250.

917
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,584
ROBBIE: 1,150.

918
00:31:59,718 --> 00:32:00,652
NICK: Alright.

919
00:32:00,786 --> 00:32:02,187
ROBBIE: Alright, appreciate it.

920
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:03,455
(laughs)
NICK: My luck,

921
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:04,556
I would probably break it...

922
00:32:04,689 --> 00:32:07,025
NICK: ...moving it around
and such.

923
00:32:07,159 --> 00:32:08,393
I'm glad it's going
to a good place.

924
00:32:08,527 --> 00:32:09,795
MIKE: This is a great sign.

925
00:32:09,928 --> 00:32:11,963
SUZIE: It is.
MIKE: Even though
the condition's not there,

926
00:32:12,097 --> 00:32:13,632
you know, I mean,
it's double-sided,

927
00:32:13,765 --> 00:32:15,667
I mean, it's missing a chunk,
but, man,

928
00:32:15,801 --> 00:32:16,668
that's a rare sign.

929
00:32:16,802 --> 00:32:17,969
SUZIE: We want to hang
onto that one.

930
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:19,571
MIKE: Okay, I don't blame ya.

931
00:32:19,704 --> 00:32:21,640
So what about the Kendall
sign here?

932
00:32:21,773 --> 00:32:22,674
It's double-sided.

933
00:32:22,808 --> 00:32:24,109
Someone has made that bracket,

934
00:32:24,242 --> 00:32:25,877
that's not the original bracket
to hang it.

935
00:32:26,011 --> 00:32:28,313
SUZIE: No, no it's not.
MIKE: But it's pretty cool.

936
00:32:28,446 --> 00:32:30,515
Late '60s, early '70s.

937
00:32:30,649 --> 00:32:34,920
The paint on both sides
is really nice.

938
00:32:35,053 --> 00:32:37,022
What are you thinking
on that one?
SUZIE: Make me an offer.

939
00:32:37,155 --> 00:32:39,224
MIKE: What do you think
it's worth?
SUZIE: You make me an offer.

940
00:32:39,357 --> 00:32:40,826
MIKE: You tell me what
you think it's worth

941
00:32:40,959 --> 00:32:43,161
and I'll tell you
what I think it's worth.
SUZIE: Uh...

942
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,530
Seven?
MIKE: I was going to say 750.

943
00:32:45,664 --> 00:32:46,832
SUZIE: Okay, 750.

944
00:32:46,965 --> 00:32:48,133
MIKE: No! That's what
we think it's worth.

945
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:50,001
SUZIE: Oh!
(laughs)

946
00:32:50,135 --> 00:32:52,504
MIKE: So you think it's worth 7,
I think it's worth 750.

947
00:32:52,637 --> 00:32:54,105
Okay, so what do you think,
on the number?

948
00:32:54,239 --> 00:32:56,708
SUZIE: Uh... 650?

949
00:32:56,842 --> 00:32:57,742
(laughs)

950
00:32:57,876 --> 00:32:59,444
SUZIE: 600 then, 600?

951
00:32:59,578 --> 00:33:01,046
MIKE: I'll tell you what,
I'd do 500 bucks.

952
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:02,447
SUZIE: How about 550?

953
00:33:02,581 --> 00:33:03,915
MIKE: How about 5-and-a-quarter?

954
00:33:04,049 --> 00:33:05,684
SUZIE: Okay, we're good.
MIKE: Okay.

955
00:33:05,817 --> 00:33:06,718
(laughs)

956
00:33:06,852 --> 00:33:07,786
MIKE: Alright, woo!

957
00:33:07,919 --> 00:33:10,155
SUZIE: I know, I'm...
(Mike laughs)

958
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:13,792
MIKE: Okay, this can
right here.

959
00:33:13,925 --> 00:33:17,629
Alright, so Richlube
is a West Coast company,

960
00:33:17,762 --> 00:33:19,231
this is Los Angeles, California.

961
00:33:19,364 --> 00:33:20,632
SUZIE: Yeah.
MIKE: They were around

962
00:33:20,765 --> 00:33:24,135
from the early 1900s
until the mid-1960s,

963
00:33:24,269 --> 00:33:25,470
when they merged
with Atlantic Oil.

964
00:33:25,604 --> 00:33:29,241
MIKE: This can is really
in amazing condition.

965
00:33:29,374 --> 00:33:32,077
I mean, if you look
at the graphics on it,
the colors...

966
00:33:32,210 --> 00:33:34,679
I mean, obviously
there's some loss here.

967
00:33:34,813 --> 00:33:38,116
The cap is there,
the spout is there.

968
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:40,185
MIKE: But here's the money shot.

969
00:33:40,318 --> 00:33:43,321
This race car. That's what
makes this can so desirable.

970
00:33:43,455 --> 00:33:45,690
MIKE: Whether it's a gas pump
or a gas globe,

971
00:33:45,824 --> 00:33:47,359
or an oil can,

972
00:33:47,492 --> 00:33:49,194
all of this stuff has gone up
in value

973
00:33:49,327 --> 00:33:51,863
so much in the past 10 years.

974
00:33:51,997 --> 00:33:54,666
And everybody's waiting
for it to hit its ceiling.

975
00:33:54,799 --> 00:33:56,935
You know, but now
you've got gas signs

976
00:33:57,068 --> 00:33:59,771
that are bringing over
a million dollars.

977
00:33:59,905 --> 00:34:01,840
Yes, that actually happened.

978
00:34:01,973 --> 00:34:03,808
MIKE: In this condition...

979
00:34:04,843 --> 00:34:06,645
I'd pay $1,500.

980
00:34:06,778 --> 00:34:07,846
SUZIE: This is the cool thing.

981
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:09,214
MIKE: Isn't that cool?
SUZIE: Yeah, it is.

982
00:34:09,347 --> 00:34:12,250
MIKE: I think the can
is worth $2,000.

983
00:34:12,384 --> 00:34:14,519
SUZIE: I know he didn't pay
much for that can.

984
00:34:14,653 --> 00:34:16,888
But he thought it was worth
like $2,500.

985
00:34:17,022 --> 00:34:18,356
SUZIE: I'm thinking 2,500,

986
00:34:18,490 --> 00:34:19,891
that's what he thought
it would be worth,

987
00:34:20,025 --> 00:34:22,127
at least to a collector.
MIKE: Yeah.

988
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:24,729
MIKE: Between all
the flea markets, the auctions,

989
00:34:24,863 --> 00:34:28,566
the picking trips that she has
been on with her husband,

990
00:34:28,700 --> 00:34:30,735
she's been in and out
of the art of the deal,

991
00:34:30,869 --> 00:34:32,237
you know, I can tell that.

992
00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:36,007
MIKE: See, I think the value's
between 2 and the 25, so...

993
00:34:36,141 --> 00:34:37,809
how about 17?

994
00:34:37,943 --> 00:34:39,878
1,700 for it.

995
00:34:40,011 --> 00:34:41,446
SUZIE: Um...

996
00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:43,048
Can we go somewhere
in the middle?

997
00:34:43,181 --> 00:34:45,517
MIKE: What's the middle to you?
SUZIE: Say... 1,850?

998
00:34:45,650 --> 00:34:47,285
MIKE: I love it when
she's tough on prices.

999
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:49,788
It shows her appreciation
for this stuff,

1000
00:34:49,921 --> 00:34:51,289
and her husband's passion.

1001
00:34:51,423 --> 00:34:52,757
MIKE: 18?

1002
00:34:53,725 --> 00:34:55,226
Okay, let's do 18.
SUZIE: Let's do it.

1003
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,461
(laughs)
SUZIE: Thank you.

1004
00:34:56,594 --> 00:35:04,235
MIKE: Pump like this restored

1005
00:35:04,369 --> 00:35:06,571
NICK: Two gas pumps here,
just kind of displaying them.

1006
00:35:06,705 --> 00:35:08,306
ROBBIE: This is an original
Shell pump.

1007
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,108
NICK: It is.
ROBBIE: Yeah, it still has

1008
00:35:10,241 --> 00:35:11,543
the original paint
underneath there, look at that.

1009
00:35:11,676 --> 00:35:12,711
NICK: Sure does.
ROBBIE: Look at that.

1010
00:35:12,844 --> 00:35:15,246
NICK: So I've said, a couple
of the advertisers

1011
00:35:15,380 --> 00:35:17,716
are still good,
the original glass on the front,

1012
00:35:17,849 --> 00:35:19,050
numbers are still decent.

1013
00:35:19,184 --> 00:35:22,087
ROBBIE: This Shell pump
is called a Wayne Narrow Body.

1014
00:35:22,220 --> 00:35:24,656
Basically, it doesn't have
its hips at the bottom of it.

1015
00:35:24,789 --> 00:35:26,391
ROBBIE: Let's see if
I can get that to open...

1016
00:35:28,860 --> 00:35:30,495
There it goes.

1017
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:31,696
(sighs)

1018
00:35:31,830 --> 00:35:33,164
ROBBIE: All the guts are gone!

1019
00:35:33,298 --> 00:35:35,000
NICK: Nah! Well, they're heavy.
ROBBIE: That's a good thing.

1020
00:35:35,133 --> 00:35:36,501
NICK: They're heavy
with the guts!

1021
00:35:36,634 --> 00:35:39,738
ROBBIE: That's repop.
Needs a big Shell globe
on top of it.

1022
00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:41,673
I think the cool look
would be to try and get

1023
00:35:41,806 --> 00:35:43,308
most of this green off of here.

1024
00:35:43,441 --> 00:35:45,644
If you could see the yellow
crackling through,

1025
00:35:45,777 --> 00:35:47,846
to me, that'd be
just a great looking pump.

1026
00:35:47,979 --> 00:35:49,381
Looks like there's
red underneath here too,

1027
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:51,683
there's red and yellow,
three colors.

1028
00:35:51,816 --> 00:35:54,019
800 bucks.
NICK: I can do 900.

1029
00:35:54,786 --> 00:35:56,888
NICK: My thought is,
I don't want something

1030
00:35:57,022 --> 00:35:59,357
sitting outside rotting.

1031
00:35:59,491 --> 00:36:01,626
I'd rather it go somewhere

1032
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:03,028
that someone else can use it.

1033
00:36:03,161 --> 00:36:04,396
ROBBIE: 850.

1034
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:07,565
You can keep the globe on top.

1035
00:36:07,699 --> 00:36:08,867
NICK: Alright.
The repro globe?

1036
00:36:08,967 --> 00:36:11,169
ROBBIE: The repro globe.
Put it up on desk somewhere.

1037
00:36:11,302 --> 00:36:12,971
MIKE: All soda stuff's
hot right now,

1038
00:36:13,104 --> 00:36:15,273
especially the smaller
off-brands.

1039
00:36:15,407 --> 00:36:16,875
Uh, the cool thing
about this sign

1040
00:36:17,008 --> 00:36:20,378
is it's all embossed,
and it's got great color.

1041
00:36:20,512 --> 00:36:23,648
I think in that condition,
800's the retail number on it.

1042
00:36:23,782 --> 00:36:25,050
How about 475?

1043
00:36:25,183 --> 00:36:26,584
SUZIE: No.
MIKE: No?

1044
00:36:26,718 --> 00:36:27,619
SUZIE: No.
MIKE: What're you thinking?

1045
00:36:27,752 --> 00:36:29,054
SUZIE: 7.
MIKE: I can do 5.

1046
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:30,655
SUZIE: ...50?
MIKE: 5-and-a-quarter.

1047
00:36:30,789 --> 00:36:32,223
SUZIE: 5-and-a-quarter.
(laughs)

1048
00:36:32,357 --> 00:36:33,525
MIKE: Okay.
(laughs)

1049
00:36:33,658 --> 00:36:35,160
ROBBIE: So, I was in here
with your mom,

1050
00:36:35,293 --> 00:36:37,095
we got here earlier,
and I wanted to ask you

1051
00:36:37,228 --> 00:36:38,863
about this Texaco sign.
NICK: '50s?

1052
00:36:38,997 --> 00:36:40,698
ROBBIE: This is late '50s,
early '60s.

1053
00:36:40,832 --> 00:36:42,367
You know, this is cut
on this side,

1054
00:36:42,500 --> 00:36:44,202
and I think it's been cut
over there on that side.

1055
00:36:44,335 --> 00:36:45,570
It's got the self-framing
on it.

1056
00:36:45,704 --> 00:36:47,806
I'd want to be
probably at 700 bucks.

1057
00:36:47,939 --> 00:36:50,608
NICK: It's yours.
MIKE: What about the tire
display piece here?

1058
00:36:50,742 --> 00:36:52,410
You've got the tire rack,

1059
00:36:52,544 --> 00:36:55,213
we've got a tire
and a hubcap. 200 bucks.

1060
00:36:55,346 --> 00:36:56,614
SUZIE: 250.

1061
00:36:56,748 --> 00:36:57,982
MIKE: You know I'm gonna say it.
2-and-a-quarter.

1062
00:36:58,116 --> 00:36:59,751
SUZIE: Yeah, why not?
(laughs)

1063
00:36:59,884 --> 00:37:01,052
MIKE: Okay.

1064
00:37:01,186 --> 00:37:02,821
ROBBIE: I wanted to ask
you about that Pepsi sign.

1065
00:37:02,954 --> 00:37:04,556
I mean, this is a signal dot,

1066
00:37:04,689 --> 00:37:06,925
double dot would have been
the earlier version of this.

1067
00:37:07,058 --> 00:37:09,327
This sign's probably
late '50s, early '60s.

1068
00:37:09,461 --> 00:37:12,397
NICK: Make me an offer.
ROBBIE: 450. There you go.

1069
00:37:12,530 --> 00:37:13,832
(laughs)
ROBBIE: Thank ya.

1070
00:37:13,965 --> 00:37:16,668
MIKE: Alright, so...
the Kaiser Frazer sign here.

1071
00:37:16,801 --> 00:37:18,269
That's double-sided, obviously.

1072
00:37:18,403 --> 00:37:20,772
SUZIE: It is.
ROBBIE: Hey, what's
going on in here?

1073
00:37:20,905 --> 00:37:22,240
MIKE: Hey, what have
you been doing?

1074
00:37:22,373 --> 00:37:23,641
ROBBIE: I've been
buying gas pumps.

1075
00:37:23,775 --> 00:37:25,577
(laughs)
MIKE: Okay. I was asking her

1076
00:37:25,710 --> 00:37:27,112
about the Kaiser
Frazer sign.

1077
00:37:27,245 --> 00:37:28,413
ROBBIE: That's a clean one.

1078
00:37:28,546 --> 00:37:29,881
MIKE: Is this something
you guys would sell?

1079
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:32,517
NICK: No, that...
that's kind of a centerpiece.

1080
00:37:32,650 --> 00:37:35,453
MIKE: Yeah.
NICK: It's just,
it's a good-looking sign too.

1081
00:37:35,587 --> 00:37:36,921
I... wouldn't want
to part with it.

1082
00:37:37,055 --> 00:37:39,424
NICK: There's certain things
that definitely
I want to keep here.

1083
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:41,926
There's memories or whatnot.

1084
00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:43,795
MIKE: Okay, so when we first
got here,

1085
00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:46,264
we talked about that
Showcase pump outside.

1086
00:37:46,397 --> 00:37:47,465
MIKE: Can we pull that out

1087
00:37:47,599 --> 00:37:49,134
and look at the back of it?
SUZIE: Sure.

1088
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:50,935
NICK: Yeah, we can take a look.
SUZIE: Not me.

1089
00:37:51,069 --> 00:37:52,871
You got the muscles,
I'm just gonna be there.

1090
00:37:54,405 --> 00:37:56,107
NICK: Here she is.

1091
00:37:56,241 --> 00:37:57,842
(scraping)

1092
00:37:58,977 --> 00:38:01,546
MIKE: Got it? Alright, that's
why I love bringing my brother.

1093
00:38:01,679 --> 00:38:03,181
ROBBIE: Hey, you know
where your dad found this?

1094
00:38:03,314 --> 00:38:05,083
NICK: I do not remember.
SUZIE: No.

1095
00:38:05,216 --> 00:38:06,718
NICK: I remember he brought
it home, and...

1096
00:38:06,851 --> 00:38:08,186
ROBBIE: He wasn't with
either one of you guys?

1097
00:38:08,319 --> 00:38:09,487
SUZIE & NICK: No.
ROBBIE: Huh.

1098
00:38:09,621 --> 00:38:11,923
MIKE: This is a Showcase pump.
You guys know that.

1099
00:38:12,056 --> 00:38:13,458
This bracket in the center here,

1100
00:38:13,591 --> 00:38:16,127
this was to support glass
or a shelf.

1101
00:38:16,261 --> 00:38:17,862
You can see too
there's a light in here.

1102
00:38:17,996 --> 00:38:20,431
MIKE: The only time
I've ever personally seen

1103
00:38:20,565 --> 00:38:22,267
a pump like this,

1104
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:24,636
has been in some pretty
major collections.

1105
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,671
I mean, usually
when someone gets

1106
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:29,040
ahold of one of these,
they don't turn it loose.

1107
00:38:29,174 --> 00:38:30,808
MIKE: This would be like,
almost kind of like

1108
00:38:30,942 --> 00:38:33,578
an industrial
point-of-sale piece.

1109
00:38:33,711 --> 00:38:36,080
This is something
that the attendant can open up

1110
00:38:36,214 --> 00:38:38,082
and showcase product
and show you

1111
00:38:38,216 --> 00:38:40,018
while you're in your car...
SUZIE: Hm.

1112
00:38:40,151 --> 00:38:42,320
MIKE: This probably would have
sat on an island.

1113
00:38:42,453 --> 00:38:44,522
This particular model,
they made this

1114
00:38:44,656 --> 00:38:47,025
from 1938 to 1941.

1115
00:38:47,158 --> 00:38:50,495
And there's actually
a more desirable model

1116
00:38:50,628 --> 00:38:52,263
than this, it was a Wayne 50.

1117
00:38:52,397 --> 00:38:54,032
NICK: I see.
MIKE: But all Showcase pumps

1118
00:38:54,165 --> 00:38:55,500
are extremely hard to find.
NICK: Yeah.

1119
00:38:55,633 --> 00:38:57,335
NICK: It's a rare pump.
MIKE: Yeah, think about

1120
00:38:57,468 --> 00:38:59,504
that time in America,
'38 to '41.

1121
00:38:59,637 --> 00:39:01,606
MIKE: And then you think
about the motorcycles,

1122
00:39:01,739 --> 00:39:04,442
the cars that were pulling up
next to something like this.

1123
00:39:04,576 --> 00:39:06,244
MIKE: I mean, the backdrop
for the car was just

1124
00:39:06,377 --> 00:39:08,346
as beautiful as the car.
SUZIE: Exactly.

1125
00:39:08,479 --> 00:39:09,914
MIKE: Transportation...
SUZIE: The display.

1126
00:39:10,048 --> 00:39:11,516
MIKE: ...back then
was beautiful.

1127
00:39:11,649 --> 00:39:13,551
ROBBIE: Thought you said
you took all the pumps
out of these?

1128
00:39:13,685 --> 00:39:15,153
NICK: I wasn't involved
with this one.

1129
00:39:15,286 --> 00:39:16,921
SUZIE: The ones that
were in the house.
ROBBIE: Oh, okay.

1130
00:39:17,055 --> 00:39:18,690
Most guys don't want
the pumps anyhow.

1131
00:39:18,823 --> 00:39:19,824
SUZIE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: You know.

1132
00:39:19,958 --> 00:39:21,292
MIKE: So you can see
all this is intact.

1133
00:39:21,426 --> 00:39:23,228
ROBBIE: The fact
that this thing is intact.

1134
00:39:23,361 --> 00:39:24,896
ROBBIE: The metal's actually
in good shape.

1135
00:39:25,029 --> 00:39:26,164
If you went to go
to restore this.

1136
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:27,732
ROBBIE: It's got all the trim
on it.

1137
00:39:27,866 --> 00:39:30,668
Actually, the light sockets
are even still in it.

1138
00:39:30,802 --> 00:39:32,170
MIKE: Actually I mean,
to be honest with you,

1139
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:33,805
it's solid. It's a solid pump.
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.

1140
00:39:33,938 --> 00:39:35,640
NICK: It's a great pump,
there's no holes in it.

1141
00:39:35,773 --> 00:39:38,876
MIKE: What I'd like to do
to the pump is clean it up
the best that we can.

1142
00:39:39,010 --> 00:39:40,078
ROBBIE: If you're gonna
restore it,

1143
00:39:40,211 --> 00:39:41,246
you're going to have
to replace those.

1144
00:39:41,379 --> 00:39:43,348
MIKE: Replace the glass
panels that are broke

1145
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:45,350
that represent the branding.

1146
00:39:45,483 --> 00:39:47,685
ROBBIE: You can see where
the detail was for the Shell.

1147
00:39:47,819 --> 00:39:49,687
SUZIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Put the glass back
in the doors,

1148
00:39:49,821 --> 00:39:51,589
put the shelving
back into it.

1149
00:39:51,723 --> 00:39:53,258
Maybe get the lights working.

1150
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:56,761
And just enjoy it
the way it is for now.

1151
00:39:58,129 --> 00:39:59,664
MIKE: 7,500.

1152
00:40:05,770 --> 00:40:07,372
NICK: I could do 10 on it.

1153
00:40:09,974 --> 00:40:11,142
MIKE: Yeah, I can't do that.

1154
00:40:11,276 --> 00:40:14,379
I mean, the most I've ever
seen one realize in this shape,

1155
00:40:14,512 --> 00:40:15,947
is 8,500 bucks.

1156
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:17,248
NICK: Mm-hmm.
MIKE: In this condition,

1157
00:40:17,382 --> 00:40:19,550
and those aren't old sales,
those are current.

1158
00:40:19,684 --> 00:40:21,753
MIKE: This is a tough decision
for Nick,

1159
00:40:21,886 --> 00:40:24,188
because he understands
its rarity.

1160
00:40:24,322 --> 00:40:27,358
But he also understands
the value of time.

1161
00:40:27,492 --> 00:40:30,161
And what it's going to take
to get it to the next level.

1162
00:40:30,295 --> 00:40:32,363
You know, he's a young man,
he's got a family.

1163
00:40:32,497 --> 00:40:34,132
Where does this fit in?

1164
00:40:34,265 --> 00:40:36,601
You know, so I think
he's thinking about that

1165
00:40:36,734 --> 00:40:38,703
as we're talking numbers.

1166
00:40:38,836 --> 00:40:40,371
MIKE: You're at 10?

1167
00:40:40,505 --> 00:40:41,839
NICK: Mm-hmm.

1168
00:40:41,973 --> 00:40:43,741
MIKE: I can't do that number.

1169
00:40:43,875 --> 00:40:46,577
I mean... 8,500 bucks.

1170
00:40:48,212 --> 00:40:49,981
NICK: What do you think?

1171
00:40:50,114 --> 00:40:51,549
SUZIE: I don't care, I mean,

1172
00:40:51,683 --> 00:40:53,685
if you think you have the time
to put into it

1173
00:40:53,818 --> 00:40:56,321
and do what needs to be done

1174
00:40:56,454 --> 00:40:58,856
when I know there's others in
there that you want to work on

1175
00:40:58,990 --> 00:41:00,425
and do too, so...

1176
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:03,828
NICK: 85's your top?

1177
00:41:03,962 --> 00:41:05,630
MIKE: I mean, it just gets
to the point where

1178
00:41:05,763 --> 00:41:07,065
I have to make...
I want us both

1179
00:41:07,198 --> 00:41:08,666
to feel good about it,
you know what I mean?

1180
00:41:08,800 --> 00:41:10,535
NICK: Oh, absolutely.
MIKE: I don't wanna do any deal

1181
00:41:10,668 --> 00:41:12,203
that both of us don't
feel good about it.

1182
00:41:12,337 --> 00:41:15,673
MIKE: It deserves better
than to just sit here

1183
00:41:15,807 --> 00:41:17,875
and I think Nick knows that.

1184
00:41:18,009 --> 00:41:19,344
NICK: 8,700.

1185
00:41:24,449 --> 00:41:26,184
I came a lot closer
to your number.

1186
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:29,988
Alright.
ROBBIE: I was just about

1187
00:41:30,121 --> 00:41:32,290
to spend that money, if he
was like going to hesitate,

1188
00:41:32,423 --> 00:41:33,558
I was like,
are you kidding me?

1189
00:41:33,691 --> 00:41:34,392
(laughs)

1190
00:41:34,525 --> 00:41:35,793
SUZIE: When I look around here,

1191
00:41:35,927 --> 00:41:37,128
I see Marty, I mean that's...

1192
00:41:37,261 --> 00:41:39,430
it's just him.
He loved every minute of it,

1193
00:41:39,564 --> 00:41:41,566
I'd find him, I've said,
where the heck is he?

1194
00:41:41,699 --> 00:41:43,134
And he'd be down here.
I'd come down here

1195
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:45,470
and he'd be sitting down here
looking around and, you know,

1196
00:41:45,603 --> 00:41:46,804
dusting things off.

1197
00:41:46,938 --> 00:41:47,939
SUZIE: He loved it.

1198
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:49,107
MIKE: You still walking
upright?

1199
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:50,441
ROBBIE: Yeah, I'm walking
upright.

1200
00:41:50,575 --> 00:41:52,377
What's the matter with you?
MIKE: Woo!

1201
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:54,479
MIKE: Marty has taken
an ordinary garage,

1202
00:41:54,612 --> 00:41:56,147
and made it extraordinary.

1203
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:57,615
ROBBIE: Thank you.
SUZIE: Marty, I wish Marty

1204
00:41:57,749 --> 00:41:59,183
could have been here,
he would have loved this.

1205
00:41:59,317 --> 00:42:00,318
MIKE: He was.
ROBBIE: He was here.

1206
00:42:00,451 --> 00:42:01,386
NICK: He would've really
enjoyed this.

1207
00:42:01,519 --> 00:42:02,620
MIKE: He was here.
SUZIE: Thank you.

1208
00:42:02,754 --> 00:42:03,955
MIKE: I promise you that.
ROBBIE: Yeah.

1209
00:42:04,088 --> 00:42:08,326
MIKE: There will always be
an energy and a presence here.

1210
00:42:08,459 --> 00:42:10,161
(honks horn)
MIKE: See you guys!

1211
00:42:10,294 --> 00:42:11,362
SUZIE: Bye!

1212
00:42:11,496 --> 00:42:12,397
(honks horn)
