- TODAY WE'RE IN IRVING,
BETWEEN THE GLITZ OF DALLAS AND THE COWBOYS OF FORT WORTH.
IT'S A REAL MIX OF BOTH WORLDS.
THERE'S NO TELLING WHAT OUR BUYERS MIGHT FIND.
- TODAY'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT FOR ME.
I'VE GOT ENOUGH HIGH-PRICED MERCHANDISE IN MY STORE.
I'M LOOKING FOR MORE MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD ITEMS
TO PLEASE MY TEXAS CUSTOMERS.
HOW ARE YOU? - GOOD.
- I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING UNIQUE
AND FUN FOR MY GALLERY.
I'M A NOTORIOUS WOOD LOVER,
AND I LOVE TEAK.
I LOVE COLLECTIBLES, BUT IF IT'S WOOD,
I'M GONNA GET IT.
- COMPETITION IS GETTING TOUGH. - IT IS.
- GUESS WHAT, THEY RESPECT YOU WHEN YOU AT LEAST MEAN BUSINESS.
- AND THAT'S WHAT THEY SHOULD BE DOING.
ALL THESE BOYS THINK THEY CAN PUSH ME AROUND
BECAUSE I'M A CHICK,
BUT I'M HERE TO PROVE THAT I CAN HANG WITH THE BIG BOYS.
- WHEN THAT DOOR GOES UP, YOU KNOW,
YOU ONLY HAVE SECONDS TO LOOK IT OVER, PICK OUT THE MONEY.
- IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN EYE FOR IT, YOU'RE SCREWED.
YOU HEAR A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE TALKING ABOUT
THEY HAVE A "FEELING" ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE UNIT,
AND THAT'S A BUNCH OF B.S.
NOT RICKY AND I. WE GO FROM HISTORY.
IT TELLS US FROM PAST EXPERIENCE WHAT'S GOOD IN THAT UNIT.
THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.
LESA AND JERRY-- I'M NOT SCARED OF THEM.
- NO, WE GOTTA HAVE LESA AND JERRY.
- SO THEY CAN BUY ALL THE CRAPPY UNITS?
- YOU SAID THAT.
- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE FIRST THING, WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOORS.
YOU'RE GONNA GET TO LOOK INSIDE.
YOU'LL HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AROUND.
THEN WE'LL BID FROM THE OUTSIDE.

I SEE A BUNCH OF GAMES. TOYS SELL.
I'M IN.
- WE GOT SOME GOLF CLUBS HERE.
WE GOT TWO LIGHTS.
THOSE ARE NEATLY PACKED BOXES.
THIS PERSON PROBABLY WAS A COLLECTOR.
I THINK I'LL BE IN IT.
- THE GLASS BOTTLES.
IF THEY'RE OLD, THEY COULD BE $100 APIECE ON THOSE.
ALL THE ANTIQUE SHOPS I GO TO-- THEY'RE, LIKE, 50 BUCKS.
HOPEFULLY, NO ONE ELSE KNOWS WHAT THOSE JUGS ARE WORTH,
AND I COULD STEAL THIS UNIT OUT FROM UNDER THEM.
- OKAY. - I'M NOT SEEING IT.
- LET ME LOOK IN HERE. - ALL RIGHT.
- THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT UNIT I LIKE.
- OKAY.
- I SEE ALL KINDS OF LITTLE STUFF
THAT SAYS THEY MIGHT COLLECT, YOU KNOW?
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M ABOUT TO SAY THIS,
BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE A FEELING ABOUT THIS LOCKER.
A FEELING.

LET'S SEE IF THIS PAYS OFF.
[applause]
[overlapping chatter]
- A BAG, BOXES. ARE YOU KIDDING?
I WOULDN'T EVEN RESPECT MYSELF
IF I BOUGHT A UNIT LIKE THIS.
I DON'T LIKE THIS UNIT. THERE'S NOTHING.
- WOODEN FUTON.
DAMN, I SELL FUTONS TOO. WE'LL SEE.
IT'S LIKE BUYING A SCRATCH LOTTO TICKET.
IF I GET IT FOR CHEAP, I COULD WIN BIG.
- OH, NO ANTIQUES IN THERE.
I SEE A COUPLE OF DUFFEL BAGS, SOME NEWSPAPERS,
AND SOME RATTY BOXES.
NOT FOR ME.
- SOME UNPAID BILLS AND JUST TRASH.
- THIS IS NOT FOR US. - NOPE.
- WHERE DO YOU WANNA START NOW? ANYBODY, 25?
- RIGHT HERE, $10.
- $10 MORE THAN I HAD. NOW 20.
[auctioneering] $20. BID ON 20. 20?
HOW ABOUT $15?

I SCHOOLED EVERYBODY TODAY
WHERE THE LOCKER AND THE UNIT WAS.
IT'S GOOD. IT'S SOLID.
IT'S WOOD. THIS IS A $50 BILL RIGHT HERE.
THEY ALL LAUGHED WHEN I BOUGHT THIS UNIT.
LET 'EM LAUGH.
GENUINE LEATHER JACKET.
3X, I'LL SAVE THIS ONE FOR BUBBA.
ACTUALLY, IT LOOKS TOO SMALL FOR BUBBA.
PROBABLY $30 OR $40 ON THAT.
THAT'S A KEEPER.
LEATHER JACKETS ALWAYS SELL IN TEXAS.
YOU KNOW, THE JEAN JACKET IS CONSIDERED FORMALWEAR.
COME ON.
- SOMEBODY'S GYM BAG.
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA.
WOW.
WOW, LOOK AT THAT SETUP.
WELL, IT'S A SWISS ARMY KNIFE,
BUT I'VE NEVER, EVER SEEN ONE LIKE THIS.
YEAH, THE FUTON'S GREAT OR WHATEVER,
BUT THE KNIFE IS WHERE IT'S AT.
SAW, MAGNIFYING GLASS.
UH, I THINK THIS IS A-- THIS IS A--OOH! OW!
SON OF A-- THAT'S SHARP AS A--
"F." MAN.
WHO WOULD NEED ALL THESE KNIVES ON ONE SWISS ARMY KNIFE?
I GOTTA FIND OUT WHAT THIS "FRANKEN-KNIFE" IS FOR.
PUT IT BACK IN THERE.
KEEP IT SAFE.
- OH!
I SEE A BOX OF HANGERS,
WHICH MEANS A LOT OF CLOTHES.
I'M THINKING THAT THE SEWING MACHINE
MIGHT BE ALL RIGHT.
THIS PERSON IS PROBABLY A SEAMSTRESS OR A TAILOR.
- THERE'S NO FORESEEABLE WOOD,
BUT I THINK A SEAMSTRESS COULD HAVE MONEY.
- JUST EVERYTHING I'M SEEING-- I'M SEEING DOLLAR STORE AND--
- YEAH, I DON'T THINK THIS ONE'S FOR US.
- COMPOSITE TABLE.
THE KIRBY VACUUM--A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THEY'RE GOOD.
EVERYDAY NECESSITIES ARE IN DEMAND IN THIS ECONOMY.
I'LL BE IN FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.

- YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME. - 750.
- THREE TIMES, SOLD IT.
RIGHT HERE AT $750.
- I HAPPEN TO THINK SHE'S WRONG.
THERE ARE ANTIQUES IN THAT
"FLIMSIN' FLOPPIN' FLOOKIN' FLOBBIN' FROOCKER."
- YOU KNOW-- - YOU GOT SOFT.
- UGH, I DIDN'T GET SOFT. - YOU GOT SOFT.
YES, YOU DID. - YOU TREAT ME THAT--
I'M GOING HOME WITH NOTHING,
BUT AT LEAST I GAVE HIM HELL.
- SHE GAVE HIM SOMETHING, ALL RIGHT.
A HEADACHE MAYBE?
- AND YOU WANT A RIDE HOME?
- BUBBA USUALLY DOESN'T GET GUT FEELINGS ABOUT UNITS,
AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE TACOS HE ATE,
BUT WE WENT WITH IT ANYWAY.
- THAT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD.
- THAT DON'T SOUND GOOD.
- OH, [bleep].
- WHAT IN THE--?
COUPLE HUNDRED BUCKS? I DON'T KNOW.
- I THINK JUST 'CAUSE THEY'RE UNUSUAL,
100 OR 200 BUCKS, SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
- YOU'RE GONNA LIKE WHAT WE GOT IN HERE.
OH, MY GOD, WE GOT ARMOR.
LOOK AT THIS "SHIZAMA" STUFF.
[metal clanking] - OH, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE NERDS
THAT GO TO THE PARK AND DRESS UP AND PLAY--
THEY BATTLE AND [bleep].
- LOOK AT THIS SON OF A-- GOOD LORD!
- PUT YOUR HEAD IN THERE.
- I DON'T WANNA PUT MY HEAD IN THAT THING.
SEE IF YOURS WILL FIT, BUBBA.
DAMN SURE WILL!
LET ME GET SOMETHING TO HIT YOU WITH.
THAT HURT? - NOT AT ALL.
THESE GUYS WERE CARD-CARRYING NERDS.
THERE'S SOME COLLECTIBLE FIGURINES.
ACTION FIGURE STUFF.
THESE ARE GOOD.
- LOOKY HERE. ALL COLLECTIBLE CARS.
- RICK, AROUND 200 BUCKS RIGHT HERE, EASY.
- HEY, HEY, HEY, BUBBA.
HOLD THE TRAIN.
WHAT IS THIS?
- I LOVE BUBBLE WRAP. - I LOVE IT TOO.
- WHAT IS IT? - I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
- OH, [bleep]. I KNOW WHAT IT IS.
- WHAT IS IT?
- DUDE, THESE ARE ORIGINAL 1978 OR WHATEVER STAR WARS FIGURES.
- ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
- SO THESE ARE PROBABLY WORTH A LOT OF MONEY, BUBBA.
I DON'T KNOW.
- DUDE, THESE AREN'T WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.
THESE ARE WORTH A [bleep]LOAD OF MONEY.
- WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO TAKE IT
AND HAVE IT APPRAISED TO ONE OF OUR GUYS.
- OH, YEAH.
- WELL, BUBBA CERTAINLY HAD A FEELING.
NOW WE HAVE TO FIND OUT IF IT WAS A GOOD ONE...
OR SOMETHING MEDICALLY SERIOUS.
- THAT'S A GOOD LICK. - THAT'S A GOOD LICK.
- I'M BACK AT THE SEAMSTRESS UNIT
THAT I SNAGGED FROM LESA.
WOW, IT'S GONNA BE DIRTY,
SO WE'RE GONNA PUT SOME SURGICAL GLOVES ON.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE PRECISION DEMOLITION.
I'M A PODIATRIC SURGEON,
SO I ALWAYS CARRY A PAIR OF GLOVES ON ME.
THIS IS A JUNK BOX.
BOX FULL OF PILLS.
MORE JUNK. GARBAGE.
IF THIS IS WHAT I THINK IT IS--
OH, WHY DOES SOMEONE SAVE THESE HANGERS?
PILLS AND COAT HANGERS.
THANK GOD FOR LATEX.
IT IS A SEWING MACHINE!
NEVER BEEN USED.
SUPER.
PROBABLY $275.
WHOA.
THIS IS OLD FABRIC. RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.
THIS IS A FABULOUS FIND FOR ME.
THERE'S PROBABLY 40 YARDS OF MATERIAL.
IT'S, UH, OVER $100.
THIS PERSON OBVIOUSLY SEWED,
SO IT MAKES SENSE I FIND ALL THIS FABULOUS MATERIAL.
[objects colliding]
- OH!
THERE'S SOMETHING IN HERE!
WHOA!
A WOODEN BOX?
THAT'S A GOOD SIGN.
HERE WE GO.
OKAY, A DECK OF CARDS.
OLD. ANTIQUE.
THEY APPEAR TO BE FRENCH.
THE ARTWORK HAS MAINTAINED ITS LEVEL OF BRIGHTNESS.
THIS IS GOING HOME WITH ME TODAY.
THIS IS WORTH SOME MONEY.
IT'S NOT MY AREA OF EXPERTISE,
BUT THIS DECK SURE IS INTRIGUING.
WHAT'S IN HERE?
OH, THIS IS SUPER COOL.
THIS IS, LIKE, A CRYSTAL BALL.
THIS KIND OF REMINDS ME OF A FORTUNE-TELLER.
KIND OF LIKE THE CARDS THAT WE SAW EARLIER.
THIS BALL'S GOT ME CURIOUS.
I GOTTA KNOW IF IT'S REAL CRYSTAL
AND IF IT'S USED TO TELL FORTUNES.
I'M GONNA GET THIS CHECKED OUT.
THIS IS FABULOUS.
- I'M HERE AT THE HOUSE OF BLADES
TO SEE IF THEY KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT THIS CRAZY, COOL KNIFE THAT I FOUND.
HOUSE OF BLADES? THEY SHOULD HAVE CALLED THIS
"THE HOUSE OF AWESOME."
- IT'S A GENUINE SWISS ARMY KNIFE.
THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT COMPANIES THAT MAKE, UH...
- OKAY. - SWISS ARMY KNIVES.
- MM-HMM. - AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
- UH-HUH. - A WENGER.
IT ACTUALLY HAS 120 FUNCTIONS ON THIS.
THIS THING IS AWESOME. I MEAN, REALLY, REALLY COOL.
- BUT THIS IS NOT USABLE AS IT IS.
WHAT WAS IT?
- THIS ONE WAS DESIGNED MORE FOR A--
A DISPLAY ITEM. IT'S FOR, LIKE, A CONVERSATION PIECE.
- OKAY.
THIS IS DEFINITELY THE KIND OF THING
THAT BELONGS IN A COLLECTOR'S SHOP.
- WELL, WHAT'S COOL ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ONE
VERSUS THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE OUT THERE...
- YEAH. - IS THIS ONE HAS A--
THE LASER POINTER.
IN THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS,
IT HAS THE MOST FUNCTIONAL BLADES ON ONE PARTICULAR ITEM.
- OH, I HEAR "CHA-CHING, CHA-CHING, CHA-CHING."
SO WHAT WOULD THE PRICE HAVE BEEN WHEN THEY ORDERED IT NEW?
- THE RETAIL VALUE IS CLOSE TO...
[drum roll]
$1,400. - HMM.
WELL, I'M LOOKING FOR ABOUT $1,000 ON IT.
- I-I-I CAN'T GIVE THAT KIND OF MONEY.
- WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY FOR IT?
- 300 OR 400 BUCKS, YOU KNOW, REALISTICALLY.
- OH, COME ON. NO, IT CAN'T BE THAT, NO.
IT'S GOTTA-- IT'S GOTTA BE MORE THAN THAT.
I'LL GO $900 ON IT.
- I BET YOU WOULD, BUT I WOULDN'T THOUGH.
- IF I'M GONNA UNLOAD THIS THING,
IT'S GOTTA BE NOW.
WH-WHAT'S GONNA BE YOUR BEST OFFER TODAY FOR IT?
- TODAY...
JUST 'CAUSE I LIKE YOU,
YOU'VE GOT AN AUTHENTIC ACCENT TO TEXAS...
- YES.
- $500. THAT'S IT.
THAT'S THE BEST I'M GONNA DO ON THIS THING.
BOTTOM DOLLAR, I MEAN, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
I-I-I DON'T NEED THIS KNIFE.
- I UNDERSTAND. - YOU KNOW, BUT--
- WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? FOR $500...
I'M GONNA LET IT GO BECAUSE I LIKE YOU TOO.
- ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.
- I SET OUT LOOKING FOR HOUSEHOLD
AND UTILITY ITEMS TODAY,
AND I FOUND 120 OF THEM IN ONE KNIFE.
NOT EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR,
BUT NOT A BAD DAY.
- VALENTINA LOOKS INTO CRYSTAL BALLS
AND READS CARDS FOR A LIVING.
I'M HOPING SHE CAN TELL ME IF MY BALL'S THE REAL DEAL
AND IF MY CARDS CAN SEE INTO THE FUTURE.
- WHAT YOU HAVE HERE IS A, UM, CRYSTAL BALL.
CRYSTAL BALLS ARE TRADITIONALLY USED FOR SCRYING,
WHICH MEANS CRYSTAL GAZING.
ONE LOOKS INTO THEM, REACHES A MEDITATIVE STATE,
AND THEN IMAGES SHOW UP THAT REVEAL THINGS.
I CAN SEE A COUPLE OF SMALL AIR BUBBLES,
WHICH MEANS IT'S MADE OUT OF POURED GLASS.
THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT
ROCK CRYSTAL LOOKS LIKE IF THEY JUST TAKE A PIECE OF ROCK
AND THEN THEY-- - POLISH IT.
- MAKE IT ROUND AND POLISH IT.
- OKAY, IT'S NOT CRYSTAL.
THAT'S A BUMMER.
LET'S HOPE IT STILL HAS SOME VALUE.
- I WOULD SAY THE VALUE OF THIS--
PROBABLY... [drum roll]
$400. - REALLY?
YES!
$400 IS NOT A BAD DEAL.
- YOU HAVE ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS LITTLE BOX
RIGHT OVER THERE.
WOW! THESE ARE LOVELY.
WHAT YOU HAVE HERE
IS A DECK OF FORTUNE-TELLING CARDS.
- GREAT!
- THIS DECK PROBABLY DATES
FROM THE '40s OR THE '50s.
- I LIKE THAT.
- IT'S NOT HORRIBLY RARE, BUT IT IS CHARMING,
AND IT IS IN, UH, PRETTY GOOD SHAPE.
AND YOU HAVE ALL THE CARDS,
WHICH IS VERY UNUSUAL WITH THE CASE.
THE VALUE OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD BE
PROBABLY AROUND $350.
- VERY GOOD.
I FOUND SOME REALLY GREAT ODDITIES, AND ON TOP OF THAT,
MY WIFE WILL BE HAPPY.
SHE THINKS WE HAVE ENOUGH WOOD BETWEEN US...
AT LEAST FOR NOW.
IT WAS WONDERFUL. YOU'RE AN ABSOLUTE DELIGHT.
- [laughs] THANK YOU.
- THE FORCE IS STRONG HERE. - THE WHAT?
- THE FORCE, DUDE. - WHAT FORCE?
- BUBBA THINKS THESE STAR WARS TOYS ARE WORTH A LOT OF MONEY,
SO WE'RE AT DALLAS VINTAGE TOYS TO HAVE THEM CHECKED OUT.
- I GOTTA SAY, THIS PLACE IS PRETTY AWESOME.
- WELL, THIS HERE IS THE 1979 BOBA FETT.
THIS IS THE FIRST ONE THAT CAME OUT.
THEY CALL IT THE 21-BACK.
AND THIS IS THE AMERICAN RETURN OF THE JEDI CARD.
IT'S GOT, UH, 77 FIGURES ON THE BACK.
AND THIS HERE IS A CANADIAN BOBA FETT.
IT'S GOT FRENCH TEXT.
THIS IS THE CANADIAN TRANSITION BOBA FETT.
WHAT MAKES THIS, UH, A LITTLE BIT RARE IS,
THIS IS AN EMPIRE CARD,
AND THEY PUT A RETURN OF THE JEDI STICKER OVER IT.
- OH, OKAY.
- THEY WERE JUST CLEARING OUT THEIR OLD STOCK,
BUT THAT MAKES IT WORTH A LOT MORE.
- BUT HOW MUCH MORE?
- THE 21-BACK BOBA FETT-- - MM-HMM.
- IN THIS CONDITION... [drum roll]
THAT COULD GO FOR AROUND $3,000 TO $3,500.
- RETURN OF THE JEDI ON 77-BACK, UH, U.S. CARD...
PROBABLY BE ABOUT $750.
- GOOD GOD, I WAS GONNA PUT $100 APIECE ON THEM
AND STICK 'EM IN THERE.
- THE CANADIAN EMPIRE...
$1,500. - JESUS!
- AND THE CANADIAN TRANSITION--
I HAVE NOT SEEN ONE OF THESE FOR SALE IN ABOUT TEN YEARS.
- I'M LIKING IT ALREADY.
- AND I KNOW THE SALE FROM TEN YEARS AGO
WENT FOR AROUND... [drum roll]
$3,000.
- GOOD-- - OH, MY LORD!
- WE MADE A KILLING ON THIS.
I TAKE BACK ALL I SAID ABOUT PEOPLE THAT GO ON FEELINGS.
- HEY, WELL, YOU MADE OUR DAY.
- I'M GLAD BUBBA'S FEELINGS TURNED OUT TO BE A GOOD THING
'CAUSE I WAS WORRIED ABOUT IT.
OH, LET'S-- LET'S GO HAVE A TALL DRINK.
- narrator: THE IRVING CHAMPIONS WERE RICKY AND BUBBA.
THEY TRUSTED THE FORCE AND MADE AN $8,000 PROFIT
FROM THEIR STAR WARS ACTION FIGURES.
VICTOR RJESNJANSKY SOLD HIS SWISS ARMY KNIFE
AND MADE A TOTAL PROFIT OF $570.
- MOE PRIGOFF CONJURED 375 BUCKS IN HIS CRYSTAL BALL...
WHILE LESA AND JERRY WENT DOWN SWINGING.
- THIS IS BUBBA FETT.
- IT'S BOBA FETT, NOT BUBBA FETT.
- OH.
I THOUGHT BUBBA TOLD ME THAT
THEY'RE CALLED "BUBBA'S FAT,"
BUT THE GUY'S NOT "BUBBA FAT."
IT'S "BOBOL FETTS" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
BUBBA'S FAT? [laughs]
- IS THAT FUNNY TO YOU?
- [laughs] YEAH, 'CAUSE I'M A FAT GUY TOO.
- IS IT FUNNY HOW YOU HURT MY HEART?
- I DIDN'T KNOW.
