THAT'S A PLAYER PIANO.
THERE'S ONLY ONE TYPE OF PERSON THAT OWNS PLAYER PIANOS.
COLLECTORS.
THAT PIANO IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY TRYING TO TRUST MY INSTINCTS.
MY INSTINCTS TELL ME, "NO WAY."
- SOFA SLEEPER. both: MM.

IT'S GONNA BE THERE WHEN I DIE.

[crowd chatters]
- JUST BOXES AND BOXES.
CAN'T TELL WHAT'S IN THOSE BOXES.
TOO MANY BOXES. TOO MANY MYSTERIES.
I'M LOOKING AT WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT, ROY.
- I'M NOT LOOKING AT MUCH.
I ALREADY SEE WHAT I WANTED.
- ROY JUST ANNOUNCED HE LIKES THIS LOCKER?
ROOKIE MISTAKE.
- I'M NOT GONNA SAY WHAT I SEE
BECAUSE I GOT A LITTLE VULTURE BEHIND ME.
- I'M GOING TO MAKE HIM PAY FOR IT.
- VICTOR'S OVER IN MY EAR, TRYING TO DISTRACT ME.
I'M JUST GOING TO KEEP MY HEAD IN THE GAME,
AND WIN THIS UNIT.
- THIS IS A BIG COLLECTION OF [bleep].
- VHS, CASSETTE TAPES, BOOKS.
LOTS OF HEAVY STUFF THAT WON'T BRING ANY MONEY.
- WELL, THIS IS NOT FOR US. - NOPE.
- OKAY, WE GOT A TANNING BED.
- OH, LORD, FIRST, SHE WANTED A PIANO.
NOW SHE WANTS A TANNING BED?
- IT'S VERY SCARY BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF BOOKS.
I'M NOT BUYING BOOKS, I'M NOT READING BOOKS,
AND I'M DEFINITELY NOT SELLING BOOKS.
- NOW, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO GIVE NOW?
[auctioneering]
$100.
NOW $200, $200.
- ROY BID ME UP ON MY PIANO,
NOW THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO RETURN THE FAVOR.
BRING IT ON.

IT AIN'T GOING TO WORK.

- GOING ONCE, TWICE...
I SOLD IT, SOLD IT, SOLD IT $650, MY MAN, ROY.
APPRECIATE YOU COMING TODAY, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
HAMMER DOWN!
[laughter]
- I AM SO BUMMED, JERRY.
I WANTED TO BUY SOMETHING SO BAD TODAY.
I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE I LET THOSE LOCKERS GO.
BUT BEING LATE THREW ME OFF.
RIGHT NOW, I'M NOT HAPPY.
- AT LEAST I DIDN'T HAVE TO MOVE ANYTHING.
WELL, OKAY, NEXT TIME, YOU KNOW--
- NOW YOU'RE GONNA BE GOING HOME
WITH AN UNHAPPY WOMAN IN THE TRUCK.
- BE A LONG RIDE FOR ME.
- I'M READY TO DIVE INTO THIS LOCKER.
WITH ALL THESE BOXES,
THERE'S BOUND TO BE SOMETHING COOL HIDDEN IN HERE.
SEE IF I WASN'T SO DARK-SKINNED, I MIGHT...
I MIGHT TAN ON THIS.
I'D BE BAKING, THOUGH. [sighs]
SEE THE TOP PART OF IT.
PROBABLY GET ABOUT 1,500 BUCKS FOR THAT.
THAT'S NOT BAD.
AH, THAT'S TOO MUCH.
MAYBE 600 BUCKS?
THIS UNIT PRETTY MUCH PAID FOR ITSELF.
WITH JUST ONE ITEM.
[grunting]
LET'S SEE...
SOME NICE CLUBS...
GONNA BRING SOME MONEY.
THIS LOOKS LIKE A FULL SET.
OOPS.
THIS CHEST IS OLD.
LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE.
IT FEELS A LITTLE HEAVY.
[grunts]
EMPTY.
LET'S SEE THIS BOX.
[groans]
WOW, WHAT IS THIS?
THIS MIGHT BE A PENCIL SHARPENER.
"WARNING: DO NOT REACH INTO SIREN."
WOW, THIS IS A SIREN.
[siren wails]
[chuckles]
I'VE SEEN THIS KIND OF THING IN OLD WAR MOVIES.
NOW I GOT TO FIND AN EXPERT
THAT CAN TELL ME IF IT'S WORTH ANYTHING.
THIS IS WHY I STARTED DOING THIS.
THE EXCITEMENT OF NOT KNOWING WHAT IS IN THERE,
AND I'M HOOKED.
- WE TOOK A GAMBLE ON THIS UNIT, HOPING IT WILL PAY OFF BIG TIME.
- ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO GET RICH.
- SO NOW WE GOTTA FIND OUT IF IT'S WORTH IT...
AND IF I CAN GO HOME TONIGHT.
LOOKS LIKE WEDDING PRESENTS.
- THERE'S A LITTLE COLLECTIBLE PLATE.
50 BUCKS, PROBABLY.
A LITTLE MIXER, 20 BUCKS.
LITTLE SERVING DISH, - BRAND-NEW IN THE BOX.
- THERE'S YOUR 20, 25 BUCKS. - YES, SIR.
- GLASS SERVING TRAYS-- 20 BUCKS, PROBABLY.
- OKAY.
- SOME MORE SILVER SERVERS. - OKAY.
- ANOTHER 20 BUCKS.
- LOOK AT THIS, BUB.
IT'S A COMMERCIAL DEEP FRYER.
THAT'S $1,000.
- HELL, YEAH, THIS UNIT'S BETTER AND BETTER, MAN.
- WHILE WE MADE A LITTLE PROFIT,
IT'S STILL NOT ENOUGH TO GET ME HOME.
LET'S LOOK AT THIS CHINA CABINET.
THIS IS A SWEET CHINA CABINET.
- I'M THINKING 700 BUCKS. - OKAY.
SOMETHING IN THE DRAWERS, HERE.
YOU AIN'T GONNA BELIEVE THIS.
- WHAT IS IT?
"MADE IN BRITISH EMPIRE."
WELL, THAT'S PRETTY OLD, MAN. "BRITISH EMPIRE"?
- OH, THIS IS CREAM OR SUGAR.
- NO. - NO?
- YOU THINK THEY WOULD POUR CREAM AND SUGAR OUT OF THIS?
- NO?
THIS IS THE TEA, RIGHT HERE.
- WAIT, IT DOES POUR OUT OF THE FRONT.
- YEAH, IT DOES.
- OKAY, MAYBE IT IS CREAM AND SUGAR.
GUESS I'VE NEVER HAD TEA BEFORE.
WHO WOULD HAVE THIS ON THEIR TABLE?
SOME RICH SON OF A BITCH.
- THIS IS A FIND.
IF WE CAN MAKE A BIG PROFIT ON THIS TEA SET,
I MIGHT JUST GET TO SLEEP IN MY BED TONIGHT.
I KNOW A GUY, IF WE HURRY UP,
WE CAN GET TO HIS SHOP.
WE'LL GET THIS CHECKED OUT TODAY.
- I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO GET HOME,
"I GOTTA GET BACK TO MY BABY."
- I DO.
- ALL RIGHT, WELL, WE GOT TO HAUL ASS
IF WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS.
GET THIS LOADED SO WE CAN GET THESE CHECKED OUT.
THIS IS ALL I CARE ABOUT NOW.
- I'M BACK AT THE LOCKER I BOUGHT FOR $550.
THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.
IF THESE PEOPLE ARE COLLECTORS, LIKE I THINK THEY ARE,
I'M IN FOR A BIG PAYOFF.
DEFINITELY AN OLD PLAYER PIANO.
THIS PLAYER PIANO IS GOING TO COVER WHAT I PAID FOR THE UNIT.
AND THAT'S JUST ONE ITEM.
THERE'S A $50-BILL IN THE CRIB.
OLD BARBECUE. IT DOESN'T LOOK THAT BAD.
PROBABLY ANOTHER 50 BUCKS THERE.
IT'S A PING-PONG TABLE.
I'LL PROBABLY GET 50 BUCKS ON IT.
SO FAR, I'M UP $150 BUCKS.
NOT SO BAD.
- WHOA, WHOA.
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THAT IS.
[whispers] MAN, LOOK AT THAT.
LOOK AT THAT.
UN-FREAKIN-BELIEVABLE.
JACKPOT.
DOUBLE-BARREL, SIDE BY SIDE,
TOTALLY AWESOME.
FINDING A GUN IS SUPER EXCITING,
BUT IF IT'S NOT OF A CERTAIN AGE,
YOU HAVE TO TURN IT OVER TO THE A.T.F.
WELL, I KNOW IF IT'S BEFORE 1899,
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT'S CONSIDERED AN ANTIQUE.
I LIKE THAT.
TWO TRIGGERS ON IT AND EVERYTHING.
IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
WELL, I'M DEFINITELY GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE THIS
TO SOMEBODY THAT KNOWS ABOUT GUNS.
THIS NEIGHBORHOOD DID NOT DISAPPOINT.
I CAN'T EVEN THINK ANYMORE.
I--I CAN'T EVEN THINK.
I GOTTA GET THIS OUT OF HERE.
UNBELIEVABLE.
I KNEW THIS WAS A GOOD TOWN.
[western music]
- I FOUND THIS OLD SIREN IN MY LOCKER
THAT I'M CONVINCED WAS USED DURING WAR TIME.
SO I'M HERE AT THE COLD WAR AIR MUSEUM
TO FIND OUT IF I'M RIGHT.
[siren wails]
[wail fluctuates in volume]
- [chuckles]
- IT'S A--IT'S AN AIR RAID SIREN.
DESIGNED BY A COMPANY IN ENGLAND CALLED CARTER.
IT'S THE TYPE THAT THEY USED IN WORLD WAR II.
I HAVE ONE OF THESE.
PARDON ME ONE SECOND. - NO PROBLEM.
- IT'S THE SAME FORMAT, JUST LARGER SIZE.
BUT FOR THE WEIGHT, HERE, TAKE THIS,
AND LET ME SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENCE.
- OKAY. - BOTH HANDS.
- YEAH, THAT'S A LITTLE HEAVY.
- YEAH, IT'S MADE OUT OF STEEL.
WELL, THIS IS ALUMINUM, YOU CAN DO THIS.
- UM, WHAT'S THE PRICE FOR THIS ONE?
- IT'LL BE ABOUT $500.
- BEING THAT MINE IS KIND OF LIKE A FEATHERWEIGHT...
- [chuckles] YEAH.
- I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MINE MAY GO FOR.
- WELL...
IT'S, UM...
IT'S IN REALLY GOOD SHAPE.
- YES.
- BUT THIS IS A-- IT'S A COPY.
IT'S A CHINESE COPY OF THE SMALLER VERSION OF THIS ONE.
I TELL YOU WHAT GIVES IT AWAY--
THIS TYPE OF PLASTIC HANDLE.
- UM, IF I HAD TO GIVE YOU AN HONEST PRICE,
IN MY OPINION, I'D SAY...
BEST YOU COULD SEE WOULD BE $120.
I KNOW YOU PROBABLY EXPECTED A LITTLE MORE, BUT--
- I--I REALLY WAS.
WELL, AT LEAST I GOT TO SEE ONE OF THE ORIGINAL ONES.
[siren wails]
- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT?
- I--BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT--THAT'S COOL, BUT MINE DOES THIS.
[wail fluctuates in volume]
YOURS CAN'T SWITCH GEARS LIKE THAT.
YOU SEE THAT? LOOK.
- YEAH.
- [laughs] SEE.
- I SEE. - YOU CAN'T DO THAT.
- THAT'S WHY I PUT AN EXTRA $20 ON THERE INSTEAD OF $100.
- [laughs] OH, YOU'RE KILLING ME.
THIS ONE ITEM DIDN'T PAY OFF, BUT THE UNIT DID.
IT JUST PROVES I'M A CONTENDER.
- WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH. - APPRECIATE IT.
- YOU'RE WELCOME. - THANKS.
- I FOUND AN OLD DOUBLE BARREL GUN IN MY LOCKER.
I THINK I GOT SOMETHING REAL SPECIAL HERE.
SO NOW I'M AT THE JACKSON ARMORY
TO FIND OUT.
[western music]
♪ ♪
- VICTOR, GOOD TO MEET YOU, MAN.
LET'S OPEN IT UP AND SEE WHAT'S INSIDE HERE.
- I HAVE MY OWN GUESS ABOUT THE AGE
AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT,
SO DON'T TELL ME STRAIGHT OFF.
I WANT TO TRY TO GUESS. - ALL RIGHT.
WELL, I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU KNOW.
- OKAY. - OKAY?
- YEAH.
- ALL RIGHT. MM...
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT, TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT IT.
- I'M GUESSING IT'S 1870s.
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT ON ON THE AGE.
- OKAY.
- WE'RE TALKING ABOUT LATE 1870s.
- THIS IS EXCELLENT NEWS.
NOW I DON'T NEED TO TURN THE GUN OVER TO THE A.T.F.
- WELL, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT WE HAVE.
THIS IS A NEAT OLD ENGLISH SHOTGUN,
DOUBLE HAMMER, WITH A SIDE LEVER ACTION HERE.
THIS IS USED TO OPEN UP THE GUN RIGHT HERE.
THIS RELEASES THE BARRELS,
IT OPENS UP. - OKAY.
- BEAUTIFUL, FINE LITTLE ENGRAVING
ON THE HAMMERS AS WELL, YOU CAN SEE IN HERE.
- THIS GUN IS BEAUTIFUL.
WITH DETAILING LIKE THAT, IT'S GOT TO BE WORTH A MINT.
- LET'S LOOK INSIDE THE BARREL
TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY CORROSION.
THIS IS A LITTLE BIT PITTED. BECAUSE OF THIS AGE,
THEY USED BLACK POWDER WHICH WAS CORROSIVE,
AND SO OVER TIME, THIS CAN BECOME LOOSE
AND IF YOU SHOOT OUT OF IT--
- YEAH. IT COULD COME APART.
- IT COULD EXPLODE. NEXT THING I WANT TO CHECK
IS TO SEE IF THIS BARREL IS GOING TO FIT.
THIS TELLS ME IF THE GUN IS STILL TIGHT,
OR IF IT'S GONE LOOSE.
- OKAY.
- AND I'M NOT FEELING ANY MOVEMENT.
- NO, THAT'S TIGHT.
- THE OTHER THING I WANT TO DO
IS LOOK AT THE CONDITION OF THE WOOD.
AT SOME POINT,
THIS WOOD APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REFINISHED.
THAT HURTS THE VALUE.
- NOT WHAT I WANTED TO HEAR.
- SO IN THE CONDITION THAT IT SITS RIGHT NOW,
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR ESTIMATE ON WHAT ITS WORTH
IN THE MARKET TODAY?
- IF I WERE TO SELL IT IN MY STORE,
I BELIEVE THAT THIS WOULD BE WORTH...
I'D SAY IT'D BE RIGHT AROUND $2,000.
- WOW, THAT'S GREAT.
THAT IS GOOD NEWS.
- SO WHAT DID YOU PAY FOR IT?
- WELL, I PAID $550 FOR THE ROOM.
- YOU MADE A GOOD HIT, DIDN'T YOU?
- OH, YEAH, DEFINITELY MADE A GOOD HIT.
- THAT'S EXCITING.
- YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY. - THANK YOU, YOU TOO.
- THANKS FOR ALL YOUR TIME.
- MY FRIEND, BARRY, HE'S OWNER AND CURATOR HERE
AT 20CDESIGN.
HE DEALS IN ONE-OF-A-KIND FINDS ALL THE TIME.
HOPEFULLY, HE'S GOING TO TELL US WE GOT A REAL GEM HERE.
- THESE ARE DEFINITELY, YOU KNOW, 1930s.
IT'S GOT A BRITISH EMPIRE STAMP ON IT HERE.
SO IT WAS PROBABLY MADE IN PAKISTAN, INDIA.
- YEAH, THESE ARE REALLY COOL, I MEAN, VERY DIFFERENT.
WELL-MADE.
UM, IT LOOKS LIKE, PROBABLY, BASED ON THE DESIGN,
A MID-'30s CHEVROLET SEDAN, I MEAN,
IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY WINDOWS ON IT,
SO IT'S A VERY STYLIZED VERSION OF THAT VEHICLE.
- AND WOULD IT BE JUST FOR SHOW TO HAVE ON THE TABLE,
OR WOULD THEY USE THAT?
I MEAN, PASS ME THAT BIG CAR TO GIVE ME SOME TEA?
- IT WAS DECORATIVE BUT ALSO FUNCTIONAL.
- I MEAN, IT'S NICE THAT YOU HAVE ALL THREE PIECES.
I THINK IT'S RARE THAT YOU WOULD COME ACROSS
A WHOLE SET LIKE THIS.
THERE'S NOT ANY DENTS, NO SCRATCHES,
IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THERE'S BEEN ANY REPAIRS.
- THESE GUYS ARE GETTING PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THESE PIECES,
WHICH IS GETTING ME PRETTY EXCITED ABOUT THESE PIECES.
- WELL, I GUESS MY NEXT QUESTION IS...
- THE ONLY QUESTION.
- THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHAT ARE THEY WORTH?
- UM...
IT'S A RARE SET,
IT'S VERY QUALITY,
THIS ONE'S IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
I WOULD SAY...
$9,000 FOR THE SET.
[silently]
- OH, MY GOD.
OH, MY LORD.
- CONGRATULATIONS, GUYS. - MAN, WHAT A GREAT FIND.
- OKAY, WELL, WE GOT TO GET,
BECAUSE I GOT TO GET HOME, SO I'M GONNA--
WE'RE GONNA RUSH OUT OF HERE.
ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY.
- YEAH, YOU GUYS TAKE CARE. WE'LL SEE YOU AROUND.
- I'M IN SHOCK.
I MEAN, I WAS HOPING THEY WOULD BE WORTH SOMETHING.
SO $9,000 IS WAY BEYOND MY EXPECTATIONS.
I'M GONNA CALL JEANIE, AND TELL HER.
SHE'LL BE EXCITED.
- HELLO.
- GUESS WHAT. - WHAT?
- YOU KNOW THAT TEA SET WE FOUND?
- YES?
- WE CAME OUT OF THERE WITH AN APPRAISAL OF 9 GRAND.
- WOO-HOO!
- I'M RICH!
- NO, I'M RICH.
- [laughs]
- WE ARE GOING TO BE IN TONIGHT.
- YAY.
- WELL, I JUST WANTED TO CALL AND TELL YOU THE GOOD NEWS.
- OKAY, Y'ALL JUST BE CAREFUL COMING HOME.
- ALL RIGHT, LOVE YOU. - LOVE YOU.
- BYE.
- YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY TONIGHT.
- I GET LUCKY EVERY NIGHT. - OH, YOU DO?
- YEAH. - ALL RIGHT.
