MIKE: How's the car looking, did you bang the nose out on it?
RICH (ON PHONE): Yeah, it came out real good.
I was able to get all the crease out, all the dents out,
pushed out right into shape.
ROBBIE: What car is this?
MIKE: It's that blue Ghia, that convertible Ghia I bought.
The Karmann Ghia.
ROBBIE: Oh I know it-oh okay, alright, alright.
MIKE: Yeah, you know what I'm talking about?
ROBBIE: Alright.
MIKE: How does it look overall then?
Did it clean up at all?
RICH (ON PHONE): Yeah, the car cleaned up fantastic.
So the reason I reached out to you is one of
my long-time customers was here.
He really digs the car.
MIKE: Well where do you think we need to be on it with him,
because right now, I've got 5,500 in the car,
I got $1,000 in shipping, I've got 3,800 to you.
So what is that?
I'm into it for 10,3 right now, I'm into the car for 10,3.
RICH (ON PHONE): He's comfortable at 12,5.
That's a solid number for the car,
because you know it's not perfect.
I think you should take it.
MIKE: Alright. Well then let's do it!
So am I paying you-am I-am I paying you a commission?
RICH (ON PHONE): No, you never do, I would just send him.
MIKE & ROBBIE: [laughs]
MIKE: Okay.

[phone ringing]
ROBBIE: Hey Dani, what's up?
DANIELLE: Hey boys.
I got a lead for you, ready?
MIKE: What you got for us?
DANIELLE: Okay. I'm going to send you to meet
Jack and his son, Jack Jr.
ROBBIE: Jack and Jack?
DANIELLE: Jack is a retired neon sign maker.
ROBBIE: What?
DANIELLE: I mean, this guy's been collecting
for over 50 years.
That's longer than I've been alive.
And on top of that, he was making neon signs.
And then before that, he owned an arcade.
MIKE: Really!
So let me guess, he collects coin-op.
DANIELLE: Oh yeah. Advertising, cars, pinball games,
beer signs, jukeboxes.
MIKE: Sounds like he's right up our alley.
DANIELLE: Exactly.
MIKE: Alright, well send us the address.
DANIELLE: Yep, will do.
ROBBIE: Thanks.
MIKE: Bye.
MIKE: Alright.
It's kind of like a mid-century modern.
He's got cats.
[knocks on door]
MIKE: Hey, you Jack?
ROBBIE: You Jack?
JACK JR: Hey guys.
MIKE: Hey I'm Mike.
JACK JR: How are you doing?
MIKE: Nice to meet you, man.
This is my brother, Robbie.
ROBBIE: Rob.
Ood to seeya, how are you doing?
MIKE: What's going on? Hand him the flyer.
Heard you guys are the coin-op guys.
JACK JR: A little bit.
MIKE: We've been around that a little bit too.
JACK JR: Yeah, come on in.
MIKE: Alright, cool.
So your pops been at it for a while, huh?
JACK JR: Yeah, you could say that.
Got some visitors.
MIKE: Walking into this house, I'm going to go out on a limb,
and say that these guys are bachelors.
[laughing] Because you go to the dining room,
the living room, everything is coin-op, is boxes,
is stacked up.
And Jack and Jack Jr are kind of
just living in the collection.
JACK SR: How're you doing? Yeah.
MIKE: Hey I'm Mike, nice to meet ya.
JACK SR: Hey Mike.
ROBBIE: How're you doing?
MIKE: This is my brother, Robbie.
JACK SR: Robbie. Nice to meet ya.
ROBBIE: How're you doing, nice to meet you.
MIKE: Looks like you're still in the arcade busines.
JACK SR: Looks that way, doesn't it.
JACK SR: I used to have a couple of arcades, around 1980,
right when people were getting interested more in video games
and I thought well, this wouldn't be a bad idea,
so I started looking for a location, and I found a place.
So I had it probably for about 5 years.
Then it started kind of petering out.
That's when they started making all
the home versions for everything.
MIKE: Okay, so that's back like Pinball Wizard days and stuff.
JACK SR: Oh yeah.
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
JACK SR: Yeah. From... probably '80 to '85.
MIKE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: What was the name of yours?
JACK SR: Pinball Jack's.
ROBBIE & MIKE: Pinball Jack's.
MIKE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Yeah. ROBBIE: Huh.
JACK SR: I still got guys calling me that.
ROBBIE & MIKE: Really?
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: So were you playing at them then?
Did you grow up around the stuff?
JACK JR: I was, I was, I was born right when he owned them,
so yeah I've been playing this stuff since I was a little kid.
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: Dani said you were selling stuff with
him at the shows and everything.
JACK JR: Oh yeah.
We've been pretty much together since the start.
MIKE: That's awesome.
ROBBIE: Wow.
MIKE: So when you guys would set up at the shows together,
were you selling contemporary, you know, pinball,
or did you have to go back?
JACK SR: Uh, mostly beer signs.
MIKE: Cool.
JACK SR: Go to beer shows, buying and selling.
MIKE: Well you're in the right, you're in the right city, man.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: In Milwaukee there's a bag on every corner.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: After talking to these guys a little bit,
you can tell that they are old school coin-op.
And it's generational.
You got Jack, and Jack Jr.
MIKE: They remind me of the guys that I met 30 years ago
or more at the Chicago Coin-Op show.
MIKE: We were like little sponges.
We were trying to soak up any knowledge that we
could from these old school Chicago coin-op guys.
You know, not just about the value,
but the history of the piece.
So when we found something, we knew what we were looking at.
A lot of these machines were made in the city of Chicago,
a lot of these big fending companies
were in the city of Chicago.
So it was all these old Chicago guys that
were schooling us as kids.
This goes way beyond collecting
and buying and selling vintage machines.
I mean, these guys made a living off of coin-op.
And that's a lot of quarters. [laughs]
MIKE: You must have had the kind of house where the other
kids would hang out, if you had arcade machines.
JACK SR: This is the house.
ROBBIE: This is it.
MIKE: Oh this is it?
JACK SR: This is it.
MIKE: Okay, you grew up in this house.
ROBBIE: This is your dad's house.
JACK SR: I've lived here since I was a-year-and-a-half.
MIKE: And how about you?
JACK JR: Oh of course I grew up here.
JACK SR: He grew up here too.
MIKE: No kidding!
JACK SR: This whole thing was lined up with pins,
and video games.
JACK JR: I was a little 2 -year-old kid playing
pinballs on the floor with no legs.
I knew how to turn them on and off, open them up.
JACK SR: You know, I've had all this stuff forever.
MIKE: You got to thin the herd a little bit.
JACK SR: Thin the herd.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: What's going on with the spaceship here, man?
That's pretty cool.
JACK SR: Yeah, that's the Burgie Beer...
the Burgie Beer sign.
JACK SR: I bought that just 'cause
I doubt there's very few of them made,
I thought it was really, a really cool beer sign.
JACK SR: Yeah, it spins, you plug it in and spins around.
MIKE: Oh it actually works.
ROBBIE: It spins.
JACK SR: They only made a handful of those in the '50s.
MIKE: This is obviously a piece that was made by Paul Stanley.
And it is the coolest thing in the room.
JACK SR: He made this, he made the Hamm's, I think.
MIKE: Paul Stanley made the kind of displays
that have been sought after by
collectors for years.
ROBBIE: Burgie Beer was brewed by Pabst Blue Ribbon Company.
MIKE: We need to see this thing, if it-
what works on it...
ROBBIE: Well here, here's a plug right here, Mike.
JACK SR: That's the plug for it.
ROBBIE: None of Paul Stanley's stuff was ever mass-produced.
There's probably only a handful of these known to exist.
MIKE: There you go, that's spinning.
ROBBIE: Yeah, there it goes.
JACK SR: Yeah, see it's rubbing a little bit.
JACK SR: It was called Burgermeister,
is what the real name was.
And then they started calling Burgie Beer,
for short. And they just, they made some of those displays
to help sell their beer in the liquor stores.
MIKE: Go ahead and unplug it, Robbie.
I think what happened was, this spun, and that spun as well.
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: So you had this going on.
JACK SR: That one probably went one way...
MIKE: Yeah.
JACK SR: This one went the other way.
MIKE: Absolutely.
MIKE: What do you value this at?
Would you be interested in selling that?
JACK SR: The only thing I can tell you is,
I got one guy that I can make a phone call,
he'd give me 7 grand for it.
MIKE: 7 grand?
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Really?
We all need a guy like that.
JACK SR: He's got a store in Iowa, actually.
MIKE: Oh really?
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: Online, you could see these have sold at
auction anywhere from 3 to 4,000.
JACK SR: Uh-huh.
MIKE: Yeah. So what's your bottom on it today?
For today, we're here.
JACK SR: Today, we're here.
MIKE: Yeah, buying it.
JACK SR: 75.
ROBBIE: [laughs]
JACK JR: You asked.
MIKE: Give me a break.
JACK SR: I don't know, what- what do you got in mind?
ROBBIE: I think my top dollar's going to be 5,500.
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: Was the guy, was the guy drunk when
he was talking to you?
JACK SR: Probably.
MIKE: Alright, well there you go.
JACK SR: He's from Iowa.
MIKE & ROBBIE: [laughs]
JACK SR: Let me think about it a little bit.
ROBBIE: Okay.
JACK SR: Is that okay?
ROBBIE: That's fine.
MIKE: Anything in here that you can think of that
was interesting that you...
threw back in here over time?
JACK SR: Um... that Miller box right there has
an old Andeker sign in it.
MIKE: This one?
ROBBIE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Oh yeah.
JACK SR: That's brand new.
MIKE: Andeker.
So what time period is this from?
ROBBIE: Oh same thing.
JACK SR: '70s.
ROBBIE: Andeker Beer was a subsidiary of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Everyone is searching for these neons now,
because every brewery that's on every street corner
wants to decorate with these now.
ROBBIE: New-old stock, I'd call it.
JACK SR: Yeah.
That was a high-end beer from Pabst.
MIKE: Pabst is one of the oldest breweries in the
country, and over the years, they've either bought or brewed
other beers besides PBR. Colt 45, Blatz,
Heileman's Old Style, Lone Star, National Bohemian,
Old Milwaukee beer, Pearl Lager Beer, Rainier, Schaefer.
And a lot of it is like making love in a canoe,
it's close to water.
MIKE: What are you guys thinking on that?
JACK SR: $200.
You'll never find another one.
ROBBIE: 150.
JACK SR: That's a little low. 175 I'd sell it.
ROBBIE: Doing it.
MIKE: Alright, there you go.
JACK SR: Sounds good.
MIKE: What about-hey what about the Blatz dude over there?
JACK JR: Oh boy.
JACK SR: Oh boy.
MIKE: Oh, uh-oh, Jack, you like him?
ROBBIE: Right here.
MIKE: Ooh, look how clean he is.
ROBBIE: Oh look at that, hold onto this glass.
MIKE: It's got the plastic on him. Oh yeah, look at that, ah.
JACK SR: That Blatz beer guy,
that was probably late '50s, early '60s.
ROBBIE: There it is.
MIKE: Blatz man.
Okay, what's he got, velvet pants on?
Wow, that's nice.
ROBBIE: Feels like it.
MIKE: There's 3 different versions of the Blatz guy.
They had a can, a keg, and a bottle.
This is the bottle guy.
They got him doing anything from ice skating,
to playing baseball, to serving eggs.
These are caricatures that sat behind the bar,
that grab your attention, that were interesting to look at,
and made you smile.
MIKE: 125. We're not that far apart.
JACK SR: That's good.
ROBBIE: Ah.
MIKE: We're doing it?
JACK SR: It's yours.
MIKE: Alright, brother. Appreciate ya.
JACK SR: I was real hesitant, but I...
some of it's got to go.
JACK JR: McDonald's Speedee.
MIKE: Oh McDonalds?
ROBBIE: Ohh, I'm Speedee.
JACK SR: Speedee was McDonald's original mascot.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Yeah, we made those for McDonald's.
JACK SR: I ran a neon shop for about 20 years.
MIKE: No way!
JACK SR: Oh yeah.
We made the frames, bent the glass.
They were using these in some of the ones that they were kind
of making them like a '50s retro type sign.
ROBBIE: Huh.
ROBBIE: When most people in America think of McDonalds,
they think of Ronald McDonald.
ROBBIE: What kind of money is that?
JACK SR: Probably 275.
JACK JR: That's where I landed.
MIKE: Yeah, you were thinking the same thing?
ROBBIE: That's where you landed at, 275?
JACK JR: Same number, yep.
JACK SR: It's worth more because it's enclosed.
Less chance of breaking.
MIKE: There you go.
ROBBIE: [sighs] Alright, we're doing it.
JACK SR: Alright.
ROBBIE: It's the iconic piece.
So when you find Speedee, you buy him.
JACK SR: Hey well, let's head down to the basement.
JACK JR: If you get hurt down here...
MIKE: Whoa... watch your step. Whoa...
JACK JR: we're not liable for injuries.
ROBBIE: Wow, wow...
JACK JR: Not liable for any injuries.
MIKE: Holy crapola!
JACK JR: Yeah... ROBBIE: Wow.
MIKE: This is a situation. JACK JR: [laughs]
MIKE: Dang, you do got some stuff.
Wow.
MIKE: Here's a guy that's an entrepreneur.
He's had multiple businesses,
and he's lived in the same space his whole life.
The guy's a collector, and when you got this much space,
you're going to fill it.
That's what's going on down here.
MIKE: When was the last time you guys were
actually able to use this room?
JACK SR: Um, I had a party down here in '82.
I remember that.
MIKE: [laughs] '82!
MIKE: This basement's huge.
What do you got here, anything cool?
JACK SR: There might be some real gems around here.
You got... you got...
MIKE: So you got some trains in here, you got pinball machines.
How about the Blatz sign?
JACK SR: Blatz sign is cool.
[metal banging]
JACK SR: Oh, there we go.
MIKE: [laughs]
JACK SR: It's the first time it's been out in about 50 years.
MIKE: I was going to say, that thing's been down,
it's been in there for a while.
I'm one of America's premier beers.
JACK SR: I was looking for a date. '51.
MIKE: '51.
JACK SR: Yep.
MIKE: Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Blatz.
JACK SR: Yeah. I found it, I was probably a teenager.
MIKE: Really, where?
JACK SR: It was laying in the woods up north.
MIKE: No kidding.
JACK SR: I brought it home, and put it
where you just took it out of.
MIKE: Is this something you'd sell?
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: The Blatz beer sign, super cool story behind it.
He's held onto this sign since he was a kid.
Now he wants to sell it.
MIKE: 300 bucks?
JACK SR: How about 350?
MIKE: Ahh...
MIKE: Everyone can relate to an inexpensive beer
at some point in time in their life.
MIKE: Alright, I'm doing it.
JACK SR: Sounds good.
MIKE: I'm doing it, I love it.
JACK SR: It's going to a good home.
MIKE: I absolutely love it.
MIKE: This is breweriana, the colors are still decent.
It's Blatz. It's mine.
ROBBIE: Jack, this Hamm's right here.
JACK JR: Oh the Hamm's.
ROBBIE: Yeah, this is an earlier one.
JACK JR: Yes.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
The champagne glasses are supposed to move.
It working?
JACK JR: Of course it works.
ROBBIE: I-I love motion lights.
ROBBIE: The one thing that pulls my eyes to this
Hamm's is, it's a double stroke neon.
It's the most expensive neon that you can buy.
Double stroke letters, they take forever to do.
Any neon guy will tell you that is the longest piece of glass
they're ever going to produce, and they hate doing it.
ROBBIE: This has the original transformer on it.
JACK JR: Yes. Yeah, everything's original. That...
ROBBIE: It's about 19... 57, '62-ish.
Somewhere in there. Yeah.
JACK JR: Yeah, yeah early '60s, I believe.
ROBBIE: What are you thinking you got out of that?
JACK JR: That one runs... from 12 to 1,300.
ROBBIE: On a retail number?
JACK JR: Yeah, that's a retail number.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
JACK JR: What's your number?
ROBBIE: 550.
JACK JR: That's way too low. How about 11?
ROBBIE: [sighs]
JACK JR: I could find someone local and in a heartbeat.
Just remember, we've been dealing with
these guys a long time.
ROBBIE: I understand that.
JACK JR: We-we've got phone calls to make too.
ROBBIE: Yeah, right here.
There's another one of the glasses right there.
JACK JR: See, you even get a spare glass with it.
ROBBIE: Spare glass.
JACK JR: Where are you going to buy a spare glass for that?
ROBBIE: 900 bucks.
JACK JR: 950.
ROBBIE: Alright.
JACK JR: Just cause it's got the extra glass.
ROBBIE: I want to ask about this thing,
I don't know if this thing works either.
The Schlitz World right here.
It was the bar top. Wow, it works too.
Look at that.
Man, they made some incredible pieces back in the day.
JACK JR: They did.
Everything was just phenomenal.
ROBBIE: Yeah. Nothing is, yeah.
They don't make anything like this anymore.
It's got a small crack in here.
Right there.
JACK JR: Yeah.
ROBBIE: This Schlitz piece, yeah it's got a
little crack in it, but find another one.
ROBBIE: I'd be willing to do 100 on it.
JACK JR: How about 150.
ROBBIE: How about 120?
JACK JR: 125?
ROBBIE: It's got a crack.
JACK JR: That makes it unique.
ROBBIE: Alright.
JACK JR: Deal.
JACK JR: There's some boxing gloves on there too, I think.
ROBBIE: Boxing gloves.
MIKE: What's up with the Humpty Dumpty, man?
That's an early machine.
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: Anybody that deal in coin-op, collects coin-op,
especially pinball, knows what this machine is.
JACK SR: You got a flipper here and there...
MIKE: Yeah, I think there's 6 total.
JACK SR: 1, there and there.
And then there's 2 up there.
JACK JR: Oh wow.
MIKE: Yeah.
MIKE: In 1947, this machine came out,
and introduced the flipper.
Not just 2, but 6.
The subject matter is interesting,
it's Humpty Dumpty, but the adult version of that.
MIKE: And what would be expected is peeling,
you know, pretty aggressively through here.
JACK SR: Right. Yeah.
MIKE: But overall, I mean...
JACK SR: It's not bad.
MIKE: Unfortunately, the historic value of this
machine outweighs the actual value.
When you think about how pivotal this machine was for
collectors, you know, as far as like, the evolution of pinball,
the evolution of arcade coin-op, all of that.
This machine doesn't command a lot of money.
But still, this is the great-great-grandpappy
of Pinball Wizard.
MIKE: I think for what needs to be done to it, 700 bucks.
JACK SR: How about 750?
MIKE: Hey, it don't hurt to ask, does it?
JACK SR: No, it doesn't.
MIKE: [laughs] I'm at 7.
JACK JR: I think I'd get it out of here.
[group laughing]
JACK JR: It's been sitting here for 40 years.
JACK SR: Alright, 7's fine.
MIKE: Alright man, okay, we're doing it, 7.
JACK SR: You got it. You got it.
MIKE: Alright, I appreciate it.
MIKE: This is a really cool piece.
To me, this is the coolest piece
I've seen all day long here.
♪ ♪ ♪
ROBBIE: Oh it says...
JACK SR: RCA Victor.
MIKE: Gosh.
MIKE: Victor is a company that's been
around since the early 1900s.
And they merged with RCA sometime around the '30s,
I think.
Okay, but when I look at this sign,
what I see is the American music industry.
That's the subject matter to me.
If you could get this mounted, whether in a can or just leave
it in some sort of stick form that goes up against glass.
It's large, and it's very cool.
The fact that it's not broken is unbelievable.
MIKE: $1,000.
JACK SR: 1,250.
JACK JR: Who else is going to buy this?
MIKE: [chuckles]
JACK SR: Uh yeah, alright, 1,000.
MIKE: Alright, man, appreciate it.
JACK SR: Alright.
JACK SR: That one I didn't have a hard time selling.
I'm glad it's out of here and I didn't bust it.
MIKE: Oh yeah...
JACK SR: Holy cow.
MIKE: Look at those piercing blue eyes.
JACK SR: Looks good.
MIKE: You know, with Elvis collectibles,
it seems like the cheesier, the better, that's what sells.
MIKE: The King was the King, for a very long time.
There were a lot of different stages in his life.
There was the Louisiana Hayride Elvis, there was the, you know,
'50s movies Elvis, there was the 1968 comeback Elvis,
and then there was like the...
you know, Vegas husky Elvis.
Okay, I like my Elvis to party.
You know, in 1968, when he came back in that
tight leather suit, he was killing it.
To me, this piece is that stage of his life.
MIKE: 50 bucks.
JACK SR: It's tough, but I'll let him go.
ROBBIE: [laughing] It's tough...
MIKE: [Laughing] Okay, man.
MIKE: Jack.
JACK SR: Yes.
MIKE: What is this?
JACK SR: That was a display piece...
for the 1948 Tucker.
ROBBIE: So this was a sales tool.
JACK SR: Solid sales tool, correct.
ROBBIE: For Tucker cars.
JACK SR: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Preston...
JACK SR: Wouldn't even think about it.
ROBBIE: Thomas Tucker presents the first
complete new car in 50 years.
MIKE: The Tucker 48, the Tucker Torpedo - this was an
incredible car that was very futuristic,
that had so many advancements.
51 cars were produced, nothing beyond that.
If you know anything about transportation history,
then you know the Tucker story.
It was a David and Goliath story, and unfortunately,
Goliath won.
You've seen the movie, okay.
JACK SR: My parents were going to be Tucker dealers.
ROBBIE: What?
MIKE: Really?
JACK SR: Yes.
They bought a lot of stock in the company.
They were going to be the biggest dealer in Wisconsin.
ROBBIE: So...
MIKE: So how much money did they end up losing?
ROBBIE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Like 25 grand.
MIKE: Really?
JACK SR: Yeah.
MIKE: That's a tremendous amount of money then.
ROBBIE: Back then.
JACK SR: That was 1940... '48.
MIKE: It's a lot of money now, but that's tremendous then.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Yeah. So they took a beating.
MIKE: This is the first time I've ever met anybody
that's directly connected to this story.
His parents were all-in, they were ready to do it,
and then the whole thing started circling the drain.
MIKE: This is what's left of it.
You know, the projector is interesting, those are around,
but the reel is what's unique.
This is an awesome piece.
JACK SR: I wouldn't even want to put a number on it.
I mean, the cars go for, you know...
MIKE: Yeah.
JACK SR: A million dollars.
MIKE: Yeah.
JACK SR: Some guy who had a Tucker would have to have this,
who knows what he'd pay for it.
MIKE: It's very cool.
JACK SR & ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Piece of history.
JACK SR: Yeah, yeah actually it is.
ROBBIE: Automotive history.
MIKE: A lot of hard work, determination,
and money went into getting this piece for his family.
I can understand why he doesn't want to sell it.
MIKE: What kind of cars you got, my friend?
Whoa.
Earnhardt.
Friggin'...
JACK SR: Oh very good.
ROBBIE: Wow!
MIKE: Woo!
MIKE: So the 1969427 Corvette is very cool,
but when it's sitting next to the Earnhardt car, sorry man,
I had to direct my attention to the Earnhardt car.
MIKE: Is this real?
JACK SR: Yes.
MIKE: This is the real car.
JACK SR: Yes, this is an Earnhardt car.
Not only is it an Earnhardt car,
it's the 'Pass in the Grass' car.
MIKE: Really!?
JACK SR: In 1987, they had an All -Star race where
all the top drivers were racing.
And Dale Earnhardt was in the lead,
him and Bill Elliott were battling it out for the lead.
JACK SR: Bill Elliott bumped into Earnhardt,
and he went onto the lawn.
Normally those cars just spin out when they hit the grass,
well Earnhardt held onto the car,
came back out onto the track,
stayed in the lead and won the race.
And that's what makes the car such an interesting car.
ROBBIE: Here, hold that.
JACK SR: I got it.
ROBBIE: I feel like Earnhardt.
JACK SR: Ohh...
MIKE: He's getting in there.
[laughs]
JACK SR: Oh boy.
Let's see him fit in that seat.
ROBBIE: Ugh, hold on here, I'll get in there.
Earnhardt wasn't a small man.
MIKE: Oh dude!
ROBBIE: Alright!
JACK SR: There we go.
MIKE: So what year is this?
JACK SR: '86.
MIKE: No kidding.
JACK SR: They used it '86, '87, '88.
MIKE: [LAUGHING] This thing is so bad-to-the-bone, man.
JACK SR: Yes, this-this is, I-I've got all the paperwork
that this is the 'Pass in the Grass' car.
I've had a lot of-
MIKE: No kidding.
ROBBIE: I'm sitting in freakin' Dale Earnhardt's car.
JACK SR: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Wow.
MIKE: Imagine this at 200-mile-an-hour.
MIKE: When you look at the dash of
this car, the safety features, the engine,
I mean, NASCAR has come a long way in 36 years.
ROBBIE: I mean, his butt was in this seat.
JACK SR: And the reason it's black, because the '86,
'87 was a Wrangler car.
It was yellow and blue.
MIKE: Okay.
JACK SR: '88, they switched to Goodwrench,
that's why it's black.
ROBBIE: Like a sardine in there, man.
MIKE: Look at him trying to get out.
[laughs]
ROBBIE: Ugh...
MIKE: It's a very cool car, he doesn't
want to sell it, but I love seeing it.
ROBBIE: Alright.
JACK SR: Alright.
ROBBIE: Jack.
JACK SR: Here we are, back to the spaceship.
ROBBIE: Back to the little flyer saucer.
MIKE: Alright.
Maybe we can get something done this time.
ROBBIE: This piece looks original, like you pulled
it out of the crate,
it just came out of a store display.
There's a couple little things that need to be fixed on it,
but really, it's in awesome shape.
JACK SR: I think there's a motor or something that's
goofed up, to make the rest of it spin.
Which would really look cool in your shop.
JACK JR: Well it doesn't spin, so.
You better consider these guys.
ROBBIE: One thing about being a picker,
it's all about the moment.
Meaning, I'm the guy that knocked on the door today,
I'm the guy standing here with the money in my hand,
so maybe I'm the guy that's going to
get this machine bought today.
JACK SR: Where were we at?
ROBBIE: You were at 7.
JACK SR: Okay.
ROBBIE: I was at 55.
JACK SR: Um...
I'll tell you what, I'll go to 6 since you're here,
you take it, it's gone.
It's worth more than that.
ROBBIE: I appreciate you coming down on the number.
JACK SR: Yeah.
ROBBIE: But I feel better at 5,750.
Split it with me.
JACK SR: You know, split it.
ROBBIE: Yeah, I want you to split it with me.
MIKE: [laughs]
JACK SR: Um...
ROBBIE: 5,750.
JACK SR: Alright, you're right.
MIKE: Woo!
ROBBIE: Dang!
JACK SR: This is a done deal.
MIKE: Wow!
ROBBIE: Jack and Jack, we got it.
JACK JR: Done deal.
ROBBIE: I'm the happiest person in the world.
And thank God Jack Jr was there,
'cause I don't think his dad would have sold anything.
MIKE: Be careful with that guy.
ROBBIE: Ugh...
MIKE: I love spending time with guys that are passionate about
what they do, and have been in the business
as long as Jack has.
JACK SR: I'll get the big one.
MIKE: Alright, you got the big one.
Yeah, thanks, man.
JACK SR: There we go.
ROBBIE: Woo.
MIKE: Jack, Blatz.
ROBBIE: Jack. A hell of a day. Thank you.
JACK SR: It was fun, man.
ROBBIE: It was fun.
MIKE: Alright.
MIKE: Jack's been living the American Dream
and he's not doing it on his own.
He's doing it with his son.
ROBBIE: You know it is.
JACK SR: Now that good home deal.
ROBBIE: I know.
MIKE: I love spending time with you, my friend.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: How cool is it to do something that you truly love,
and have your son right by your side.
MIKE: See ya.
[honks horn]
ROBBIE: See you, Jack, thank you!
JACK JR: See ya.
JACK SR: Thanks.
MIKE: The last time Bill called us,
we went to the family hardware store downtown.
MIKE: A couple of years back,
we picked a family -owned hardware
store in Illinois.
MIKE: Wow!
MIKE: Now Bill's reached out again,
because they decided they wanted to start
clearing out the old family home.
ROBBIE: Wow!
Can't wait to see the house.
MIKE: This is it right here.
ROBBIE: This?
MIKE: Yeah, oh yeah.
That's what the GPS says.
ROBBIE: Holy cow!
MIKE: This is a generational property
that has been left untouched
for a number of years.
MIKE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: This thing's a friggin' mansion.
MIKE: Yeah, look at that slate roof, man. Wow.
ROBBIE: That tower.
MIKE: Dani said he'd be in the carriage house.
Look at this... wow!
ROBBIE: You're going to love him,
he's a great guy. [honks horn]
MIKE: Bill!
BILL: Hey, Mike, how's it going?
MIKE: What's going on, man, how are ya?
BILL: How've you been? It's been a while.
MIKE: I'm doing good, hey, good to see ya.
BILL: Yeah.
MIKE: This is my brother, Robbie.
ROBBIE: How're you doing?
BILL: Robbie, nice to meet ya.
ROBBIE: Good to see ya.
This carriage house is massive!
BILL: Yeah.
ROBBIE: This- the-the grounds.
BILL: Yeah, oh yeah.
There's a total of about 4-and-a-half acres here.
MIKE: So what do you got going on, Bill?
BILL: Well Mike, I had a bunch of stuff here,
family stuff from way back, my grandmother's generation
and stuff, and I thought maybe you
might be interesting in some of them.
MIKE: Absolutely.
BILL: Let me show you what I'm talking about.
MIKE: Okay.
BILL: We'll take a look around in here.
MIKE: This is a great building, man.
BILL: Yep, they sure did it right back then.
MIKE: Whoa, super cool.
MIKE: You walk into the carriage house,
and this place has a presence.
BILL: Most fun place to play when I was a kid,
I'll tell you that.
MIKE: Oh I'm sure, absolutely.
BILL: [laughs]
MIKE: You know, there are things
that are in this building,
that have been here since it was built.
MIKE: What is this piece behind you right here?
This is cool.
BILL: This?
MIKE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Looks like a-
BILL: That is a grape stumping barrel.
MIKE: Oh my gosh, look at that!
MIKE: This thing is massive.
BILL: Actually, my great -grandfather used
to make wine, way back.
MIKE: No kidding?
BILL: We had an orchard out back behind the carriage house,
there was vineyards.
MIKE: It's an early primitive piece.
The wood that was used is so thick, the cast iron bands.
It's beautiful, it's craftsmanship at its finest.
ROBBIE: The rings are in good shape.
MIKE: Yeah.
ROBBIE: Everything down here, it's not rotted.
MIKE: It's a neat primitive.
I mean, would you sell it?
BILL: Yeah sure.
MIKE: Like 300 bucks.
BILL: How about 3-and-a-half?
MIKE: 3-and-a-half.
BILL: Okay. Alright. Sounds good.
MIKE: Alright, I'm doing it, I love it.
BILL: It seemed fair enough for me.
I was happy with it.
MIKE: Alright brother, I'm going to beat you up here.
BILL: Lots of dust and dirt.
MIKE: Oh this is so cool!
ROBBIE: Wow.
MIKE: This is what I'm talking about.
This room looks basically untouched.
It's just layers of history, layers of generations.
BILL: There's a lot of stuff to look through.
MIKE: Absolutely. Look at this, who made that?
ROBBIE: That's cool.
MIKE: Pull it out of there, Robbie.
BILL: That, my great -uncle Glen made that.
For myself and my brothers, when we were kids,
this box here, this was actually a shot shell box...
ROBBIE: Yeah, you can see the print.
BILL: that came from the store.
MIKE: So he just made it out of this stuff from the store.
BILL: Yeah.
ROBBIE: They painted it up to look like a steam engine.
MIKE: [laughs] That's awesome!
MIKE: Sometimes if you don't have the resources,
you have to be resourceful.
This is primitive, it's folk art, and it's a kid's toy.
It's got a lot going on.
ROBBIE: 100 bucks.
BILL: Alright.
MIKE: I love it, good eye, brother.
ROBBIE: It's cool.
BILL: Alright.
BILL: You know, you can't keep everything.
I mean, as neat as that thing is,
I'm being very selective on what I take home.
[laughs]
MIKE: Looks like an air compressor.
ROBBIE: It is an air compressor.
That's kind of cool.
MIKE: [sighs]
MIKE: Alright man, I got to ask you about this lamp.
This thing's insane. Look at that.
That's called slag glass.
You can see there's a couple of feet missing.
Somebody could make that easy.
MIKE: When you look at the lamp,
the first thing you notice is the glass,
and that is all intact, there are no cracks, it's beautiful.
MIKE: That's really neat.
Imagine that green lit up, you know.
BILL: Oh yeah.
MIKE: It would clean up nicely too.
MIKE: If you do any research on the American Arts and Crafts
movement, you're going to find that
dates back to the late 1800s.
But the hey day was 1910 to 1925.
Everything was overbuilt, it was beautiful,
but it was also simple.
This lamp is a prime example of that style.
MIKE: Man, I think it's really great.
Uh, with the little issue, 250 bucks.
BILL: Hmm... I was thinking maybe 3 on it.
MIKE: Alright, I'll do it.
BILL: That'll work?
MIKE: I love it, I absolutely love it.
BILL: Sounds good.
MIKE: I love this time period. I love this look.
It is literally timeless.
ROBBIE: Hold on here...
MIKE: Ugh... here's an old Irish mail right there. Whoa...
ROBBIE: Huh.
BILL: Oh. There you go.
MIKE: Right there...
ROBBIE: I got it.
BILL: Yeah. There you go.
ROBBIE: Ya that gear...
MIKE: You got it? Ooh! Okay.
ROBBIE: Gear's heavy.
MIKE: This is an Irish mail, or what some people call a
child's hand cart. The child would sit on it,
and use his hands and arms to power the cart,
and that big cast iron gear worked like a flywheel.
Once you got that going, the momentum of that made
it easier to move forward. It's a very primitive piece.
I'd say 1900s.
MIKE: So is this something you guys would
have sold at the store?
BILL: Oh absolutely.
My great-grandfather bought the business in 1897.
MIKE: Wow.
BILL: So we've had it in the family that long.
MIKE: This is the first piece I've come across, really,
that I'm thinking, okay this was inventory from
the hardware store.
This was something that was brought home
and given as a gift to a child.
It's really cool to find it in the attic of a carriage house.
MIKE: It was oxblood red at one time,
you can see the oxblood red paint.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
BILL: Um-hm.
MIKE: I mean, if I had this in the shop, I'd have, you know,
in between 5 and 600 bucks on it. 375.
BILL: That sounds fair.
MIKE: You want to do that?
BILL: I'll do that, yeah I'll do that, Mike.
MIKE: Okay. Alright, man, thank you.
BILL: Alright.
MIKE: Absolutely beautiful.
BILL: Yeah.
MIKE: Who's this guy?
BILL: I don't know if I'll know or not.
That's a tintype, isn't it?
MIKE: Yeah it's a tintype.
BILL: Oh maybe...
MIKE: Here's the frame.
BILL: I think that's... my great-great-grandfather.
MIKE: This is the family's history.
It's an accumulation.
And every once in a while, you come across a piece
that's really personal, like this tintype photo.
BILL: Over the years, you know, different family members have
passed or something, and bring a lot of the stuff here,
'cause it's family.
MIKE: So this is just an accumulation and catch-all...
BILL: It's a catch-all.
MIKE: of a lot of different family members.
BILL: Oh yeah. Yes.
Interesting to see what you guys are finding.
BILL: There he goes.
MIKE: Let's see what's up here.
BILL: Mike, just watch the wires around there
or you'll get zapped.
ROBBIE: You'd think that every one of
these trunks would be full.
MIKE: Alright.
ROBBIE: So Bill, what was this room used for?
BILL: This was a caretaker's room.
MIKE: How much is Lincoln?
BILL: Ah, I kind of like Lincoln,
I think I'm going to hang onto him.
MIKE: I don't blame ya.
MIKE: Look at these.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: TV trays.
BILL: Cool.
ROBBIE: Huckleberry Hound.
MIKE: By the 1950s, almost every home in
America had a television.
The focus went from the kitchen and the dining room,
to the living room where the television was.
And that's really when the TV tray was born.
It was a big deal to have something so stimulating
that was storytelling and entertaining.
You never wanted to leave it.
All of a sudden, you wanted to eat in front of it too.
MIKE: This one they're on a boat. This one...
ROBBIE: The Huckleberry Hound.
Same one as this one.
MIKE: 4, 4 TV trays.
MIKE: Everybody in the family had their own TV tray.
You had the grown up TV tray, and the children's TV tray.
Now these have Huckleberry Hound on them,
Yogi Bear, all that kind of stuff.
Some of them are in great condition,
1 or 2 have a little bit of rust, but here's the deal,
man, somebody's going to want these.
MIKE: 60 bucks.
BILL: Alright.
MIKE: Thanks, man.
BILL: You got it.
MIKE: Appreciate ya.
MIKE: What year is this house?
BILL: This house was built around 1910.
MIKE: Okay, so once I stopped geeking
out about the old house and the architecture,
you start to wonder what's inside of it.
BILL: Alright, I'm going to introduce you guys to my sister.
She's down in the basement going through some stuff.
MIKE: Okay.
BILL: We've been kind of doing this for a long time now.
MIKE: Yeah, how long have you guys been at it?
BILL: Oh... probably 15, 20 years,
kind of going through things.
MIKE: Really!
BILL: Oh yeah.
MIKE: This is a generational home of a family that
owned a hardware store for 100 years.
So they had access to inventory.
Anything from old toys to old bicycles to sporting goods.
MIKE: Oh yeah, you guys do got stuff down here.
BILL: Hey Carrie!
CARRIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Whoa...
BILL: Where are you at?
CARRIE: In the back.
MIKE: Hey-hey.
CARRIE: Hey.
MIKE: How're you doing?
Looks like you got your hands full.
CARRIE: I do.
MIKE: Hey, I'm Mike.
CARRIE: I'm Carrie.
MIKE: Carrie.
CARRIE: Bill was tackling the hardware store
the last few years,
and I've been handling the house.
CARRIE: I was just-
MIKE: Oh you got a BB gun.
CARRIE: I was shining up the thousand shot Columbian Model E.
MIKE: I love that Carrie is taking the time
to research every item.
CARRIE: It's made by this company.
MIKE: Oh you're already looking it up here.
CARRIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Okay, the Hi-Heil-e-pin.
CARRIE: Yep. And that's-
MIKE: So it's made, so yeah, they were in Philadelphia.
I like her.
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: She's on, you're right, she is on it.
BILL: Yep.
MIKE: Did you shoot it?
CARRIE: No. I tried.
MIKE: Still works.
BILL: Yeah.
MIKE: So this is a high-quality gun,
because it was nickel-plated, and it's got a really nice wood
stock, and then also look, it had nickel -plated
metal butt on it too.
But the thing is with all of this stuff, it's condition.
Like you can see right here, the barrel's pretty beat up,
and then obviously it's...
the nickel's... a lot of it's gone.
You know, in really nice shape, this could be 6 to 800 bucks,
maybe, you know.
Depending on what the market is.
CARRIE: Right.
MIKE: I mean, in this condition, it's just,
it hurts it a lot.
MIKE: BB guns were a rite of passage.
They were a coming -of-age gift. I mean,
basically it was pocket knife, BB gun, bicycle.
MIKE: It's hard to find them... that are this old.
But again, it's the condition.
In that shape I'd pay like 100 bucks for it.
CARRIE: It's yours.
MIKE: Okay, thank you, I appreciate it.
Carrie: [laughs]
CARRIE: I have no idea how much we've hauled out of this house.
MIKE: I can't even imagine.
I mean, you guys have had family in here since 1920?
BILL: Yeah.
CARRIE: Yeah.
BILL: I don't think either one of us thought
we were going to have to, you know,
do this thinning thing, it's down a little bit. It just-
CARRIE: At least not to this degree.
CARRIE: Alright guys, so here we are in the attic.
MIKE: Dang.
CARRIE: There's sooo much stuff in here.
MIKE: Oh my God, yeah it does.
ROBBIE: Wow.
MIKE: There's some, yeah.
ROBBIE: Holy cow.
MIKE: When you think about 5 generations in this house,
your mind really starts to wonder on what could be in here.
It's like you walk into a space like this and
you have no idea where to start.
MIKE: Let's see here.
ROBBIE: A lot of train tracks stuff in here,
but no trains, huh.
MIKE: How big a tracks?
ROBBIE: Big tracks.
Carrie, I can stay here for like, days on end.
Not kidding ya.
CARRIE: You're welcome to.
ROBBIE: It's a treasure trove.
You want to dig into every one of these boxes.
MIKE: Alright, here I'm going to hand you down some stuff.
Here, be easy with it.
It's too bad the wheel's missing on this.
They made like 2 or 3 different versions of that.
ROBBIE: Oh yeah, they made, yeah.
MIKE: Here's the skier.
MIKE: This is reflection of the different
generations of family and their toys.
Imagine being able to walk up into a space where you
can see what your grandfather played with,
what your great -grandfather played with.
MIKE: They're just so dirty, but they're so cool.
I mean, obviously with a lot of this stuff,
condition's everything.
MIKE: Everybody that's came before her,
there is a little bit of them up here in this attic.
MIKE: 60 bucks apiece on the rabbits.
CARRIE: Yep.
MIKE: Okay, we're doing it.
This toy, unfortunately, is missing the wheel.
I mean, like 40 bucks, I feel comfortable at.
CARRIE: Okay.
MIKE: Alright.
This is the earliest toy that I've found. A skier.
CARRIE: Um-hm.
MIKE: A great piece. I'd do... like 65.
CARRIE: Okay.
ROBBIE: Wow, look at this.
CARRIE: Hmm.
CARRIE: Those pennants were probably my Great-Uncle Glen's.
CARRIE: Um...
ROBBIE: Auburn...
CARRIE: Auburn...
ROBBIE: Kentucky, and more looks like United States.
CARRIE: He and his wife, Louise,
always went traveling to all the different states.
ROBBIE: Ooh, look at the Iowa one, look at that.
I love that.
CARRIE: Yah.
ROBBIE: Back in the early days of
travel in the United States,
it was able the sticker that went in the back window,
or the pennant you picked up from that state.
ROBBIE: You got 23.
ROBBIE: You know, you treasured these things.
You had a memory from every state.
ROBBIE: 250.
CARRIE: Sold.
ROBBIE: Alright.
Carrie: [laughs]
ROBBIE: Thank you.
ROBBIE: What the heck is that thing, Mike?
MIKE: Agh... I don't know.
CARRIE: Looks like a gerbil cage.
MIKE: Yeah, look at this thing...
ROBBIE: Oh wow. This...
MIKE: it's got little stairs.
MIKE: This is a very elaborate, yet primitive pet cage.
I mean, it could have been for a gerbil,
a groundhog, a rat, a mouse.
I'm just freaking out on its overall size.
I'm not sure if this was something that
was manufactured, or homemade.
MIKE: You know, it got a little bit of damage, not much.
MIKE: But what I am sure of, is that it's very large
and it's different and that's what sells.
It's extremely unique.
MIKE: 100 bucks.
CARRIE: What do you think, Billy?
BILL: 100-and- a-quarter.
CARRIE: 100 -and-a-quarter?
MIKE: I'm doing it. Shake his hand, Robbie.
Carrie: [laughs]
MIKE: I'm doing it. ROBBIE: Seriously.
MIKE: I've never seen anything like it.
MIKE: I've never seen anybody go to this length before.
MIKE: Alright, what else you got?
RMIKE: I got to. Move this, okay.
ROBBIE: Freshmen, ready to learn, obey.
BILL: Heh.
ROBBIE: The most honored class of 1919, Lake Forest College.
Always remember, you are merely freshmen.
As such, respect and honor upperclassmen
and humble yourselves before them.
Bill & ROBBIE: [laughs]
BILL: That's just pretty cool.
BILL: I never seen anything like that before.
ROBBIE: 25 bucks apiece.
That'll work?
BILL: Yeah.
ROBBIE: They're cool.
BILL: We can do that.
Yeah, they are neat.
MIKE: Ugh... you're on it.
MIKE: It's unbelievable how much stuff is packed in this attic.
MIKE: Robbie.
ROBBIE: Yeah, yeah.
MIKE: Look at this.
ROBBIE: What is it?
MIKE: It's a huge friggin' train car.
ROBBIE: Oh wow. Man, that thing is early.
MIKE: I know.
ROBBIE: Carrie, what's the deal with this?
CARRIE: I don't know.
MIKE: I don't know a lot about trains,
but I know enough to be dangerous,
and I can tell that this is a really good one.
MIKE: This is special.
CARRIE: It is.
MIKE: That's really, really interesting.
ROBBIE: This thing has original paint on it.
It's one of the very first Lionel electric trains.
ROBBIE: Hey, I got a train guy,
let me take some pictures of this.
ROBBIE: Lionel started in the early 1900s,
and is still in existence today.
So for us to know everything about a Lionel train
would be virtually impossible.
I just know that it's got great paint on it,
it's one of the very first trains ever made,
and I got to call a guy on it.
ROBBIE: Hey, what's going on?
You get those photos I sent ya?
VINNY (ON PHONE): I did.
MIKE: What can you tell us about it?
VINNY (ON PHONE): The trolley, it's a number 8 trolley,
around 1910.
It's a great piece.
Looks like there's some damage to the roof, just coming off.
Not sure if there's major flaking on the inside,
I couldn't see that.
In all, it's... a very interesting piece.
MIKE: I mean, to be honest with you,
a lot of the windows on the sides or in the doors,
in the front and rear, are all intact.
Do you know what that stuff is made out of?
Is that like a celluloid?
VINNY (ON PHONE): It's a celluloid, right.
MIKE: Okay.
And then inside the train, I mean, it's pretty dirty, but...
ROBBIE: Dirty.
MIKE: there doesn't look like there's a lot of chipping.
VINNY (ON PHONE): Okay.
MIKE: And then on the exterior, I'd say the paint,
on a scale of 1 to 10, is probably, what a 7?
VINNY (ON PHONE): 6?
MIKE: Yeah, I was going to say a 7.
ROBBIE: Uh... this thing is really dirty.
VINNY (ON PHONE): Right.
You don't want to over-clean them,
you want to keep it as natural as possible.
ROBBIE: You always talk about the rarity of stuff.
How rare is this piece?
I mean, to find it in any kind of condition?
VINNY (ON PHONE): It's definitely not something
you see every day.
ROBBIE: Okay.
MIKE: Okay. So what's it worth?
VINNY (ON PHONE): For every day, day in day out,
selling a piece like this, it's probably around 35 to $4,000.
CARRIE: I was shocked. Heh!
VINNY (ON PHONE): On the right day,
the right auction setting...
CARRIE: [whispers] That's crazy, heh...
VINNY (ON PHONE): after cleaning,
shown to the right people, it could achieve up to $5,000.
ROBBIE: Okay.
MIKE: Dang!
CARRIE: Wow, wow.
MIKE: I was so happy for Carrie,
when he came in with that big number.
Because she has put a lot of time and effort into this home.
She's been working on it for years,
and now to find something with this kind of value,
you know, just one piece, that's pretty cool.
MIKE: Alright, hey man, you-you're always cool,
thank you so much for getting back with us so quickly.
VINNY (ON PHONE): No problem, guys.
ROBBIE: Alright, appreciate it, buddy.
ROBBIE: Thank you.
VINNY (ON PHONE): Alright, thanks a lot.
ROBBIE: Bye.
VINNY (ON PHONE): Bye -bye.
MIKE: Here, you want to touch it?
CARRIE: For a minute.
MIKE: Yeah, there you go.
CARRIE: [giggles]
ROBBIE: Touch it for a minute.
CARRIE: And you want it back?
MIKE: Can you believe that-you know what,
I wonder if this was a piece that you guys
would have sold at the hardware store?
CARRIE: I'm guessing it was from my uncle,
because my great-grandfather, used to work for the railroads.
MIKE: Okay.
MIKE: And he would have bought it for...
MIKE: for his son.
CARRIE: Um -hm.
ROBBIE: Yeah. MIKE: Okay.
ROBBIE: Wow.
CARRIE: That'd be my guess.
MIKE: Wow.
MIKE: I think the paint on this piece is going
to clean up really well.
We said it was a 7, maybe it can get up to an 8.
What I think is really incredible is the amount of
nickel that's still on the undercarriage, on the trucks.
If you look at that, and think about that not
being cleaned yet - unbelievable.
This piece has been stored in this attic for decades.
MIKE: So what are you thinking, do you want to sell it?
CARRIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Do you want to sell it to a dealer like us,
or do you want to go the auction route, or...?
CARRIE: You guys.
MIKE: Okay, so he said 35 to 4, I think was the retail number.
ROBBIE: Right.
CARRIE: Yep. So what are you offering?
MIKE: [sighs]
MIKE: I'd feel comfortable at 28. I really would.
And to be honest with you, you're always going to
sell something a little bit quicker if
you leave a little money on the table.
So I appreciate it, if you would do that and we do the
same for somebody else, you know.
CARRIE: Deal.
MIKE: We're doing it?
CARRIE: Doing it.
MIKE: Alright, we're doing it.
Thank you.
CARRIE: [chuckles]
MIKE: Appreciate it.
ROBBIE: That's awesome.
MIKE: That's very cool, thank you.
CARRIE: I think Mike and Robbie
really appreciate this stuff.
You could tell when they were talking to me about
something and wanting to buy it, that's just,
there's something in their heart that just connects to it.
MIKE: Alright, you got it?
ROBBIE: I got it. Get it?
MIKE: Okay, okay, here we go.
CARRIE: You want some help?
ROBBIE: Yeah.
MIKE: Alright.
MIKE: It's not often that you find a place that
has been untouched by time.
Now this is the second time we've gotten to experience that
with Bill, to be the caretakers of your family's history,
to move things forward, and to put it in the right hands,
is an overwhelming responsibility.
MIKE: Alright! Hey.
BILL: Heh.
MIKE: Thanks again, buddy. Thanks.
BILL: Thank you. Appreciate it.
MIKE: And I'm so glad they've decided to
include us on that journey twice.
[honks horn]
BILL: See you guys.
MIKE: See you guys!
CARRIE: Bye.
BILL: Take care.
