AUCTIONS TODAY ARE IN LAKE HIGHLANDS, TEXAS
RIGHT OUTSIDE OF DALLAS.
LAKE HIGHLANDS IS A FANCY SUBURB
WHERE FOLKS LIVE IN FANCY HOUSES AND HAVE FANCY HOBBIES.
FANCY THAT.
- THE BIGGEST CLUE THAT THIS IS A GOOD AREA
IS THE POOLS IN THE BACKYARDS.
- WITHIN, LIKE, TWO MILES, A HUNDRED-SOMETHING POOLS.
- DO YOU KNOW WHO HAS POOLS?
RICH PEOPLE, AND THEY'RE ALWAYS REDECORATING,
GETTING RID OF PERFECTLY GOOD FURNITURE.
SO BUBBA AND I ARE FIXING TO SOP IT ALL UP WITH A BISCUIT.
- I'VE BEEN A LITTLE NERVOUS BECAUSE I'M NEW TO THE AUCTION
WHOLE WORLD THING.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
I'M TOTALLY WINGING IT. [chuckles]
I'M JUST LOOKING FOR GOOD RAW MATERIALS
SO I CAN BUILD AND MAKE STUFF.
TYPICAL.
- WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST TIP FOR ME TODAY?
- DON'T BID AGAINST ME.
[laughs]
- FRICKIN' RICKY.
I'VE SEEN THE KIND OF PROFITS THESE GUYS CAN MAKE
AND I KNOW I CAN DO THE SAME.
SO I'M JUST GONNA LISTEN AND TRY TO LEARN FROM THESE OLD PROS.
- RULE OF THUMB--YOU GIVE $100, YOU NEED TO SEE NO MORE
THAN THREE ITEMS IN THERE THAT'LL BRING YOU $100.
- SO IF I CAN PRICE TWO TO THREE ITEMS THAT I KNOW I CAN SELL,
THAT'S HOW I BID ON THE UNIT.
THAT TOTALLY MAKES SENSE.
- CHANGE OF PLAN FOR TODAY.
I HATE TO ADMIT IT, BUT RICKY AND BUBBA,
THEY'RE MY BIGGEST COMPETITION, LITERALLY.
SO MY GOAL TODAY, DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
WHAT'S GOING ON, MAN?
- WHAT'S UP, GUY? - AW NOTHING.
I WAS JUST WONDERING WHAT DOES RICKY PAY YOU TO BE HIS, UH,
SIDEKICK, WHATEVER YOU WANNA CALL IT?
- SIDEKICK? EXCUSE ME?
- WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- WE'RE PARTNERS, HE DOESN'T PAY ME.
- OH, YOU'RE PARTNERS WITH HIM? - YEP.
- DIVIDE AND CONQUER.
- SCURRY ALONG.
- I DON'T KNOW.
- I'M GONNA WHUP HIS ASS. - WHY?
- HE'S TRYING TO BE A SMARTASS.
- I HOPE HE DOESN'T LET VICTOR GET INSIDE HIS MELON.
- I HAVEN'T BEEN TO JAIL IN A WHILE.
- WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?
- HI, GUYS. all: HI, MOE.
- DO YOU TAKE A CAB TO AN AUCTION NORMALLY?
- IT'S GONNA BE HARD TO HAUL SOMETHING BACK IN A CAB.
- MY WIFE THINKS I'M WORKING SO I HAD TO TAKE A CAB.
- WELL AT LEAST YOU'RE HERE.
- FOR EVERY FABULOUS PIECE THAT I FIND FOR MY GALLERY,
I INHERIT A HEAP OF TRASH FOR MY BACKYARD.
[woman screams]
SO MY WIFE FORBID ME TO GO TO ANY MORE AUCTIONS.
I JUST COULDN'T STAY AWAY.
- ALL RIGHT, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
HERE ARE THE RULES FOR TODAY'S AUCTION.
WE'RE GONNA OPEN THE DOOR.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO LOOK AROUND.
THERE'LL BE NO STEPPING INSIDE,
NO REACHING INSIDE, NO KICKING THE BOXES.
TODAY'S AUCTION IS A CASH-ONLY SALE.
ARE YOU READY TO GO. all: YEAH!
- HAMMER UP! LET'S GO!
Y'ALL HANG BACK A LITTLE.
- THOSE DRAWERS ARE ACTUALLY TO A VINTAGE
FRENCH PROVINCIAL DRESSER THAT I DON'T SEE IN HERE.
BUT SELL THAT DRESSER FOR 500, SELL THAT BED FOR 400.
SO, ACCORDING TO RICKY'S RULE, I COULD SPEND UP TO $900
BASED ON THE TWO ITEMS I SEE, AND THE REST WOULD BE PROFIT.
IS THAT RIGHT?
- THERE'S NO GLASS ON THE END TABLES.
- I SEE THAT, RICKY. YES, I KNOW.
WHY IS RICKY GIVING ME ADVICE ON THIS LOCKER?
- PHEW. NOTHING FOR ME.
BOY, MY WIFE'LL BE HAPPY.
- OLD XBOX. 50 BUCKS MAYBE.
YOU HAVE AN OLD GAME CONSOLE, NEGLECTED FURNITURE.
THIS HAS COLLEGE KID WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
- THESE DRAWERS, I CAN USE THE WOOD BECAUSE THE WAY
THAT IT'S JIGSAWED IN, YOU CAN TELL THAT IT'S HANDMADE.
THIS IS A REALLY GOOD UNIT FOR ME,
BUT I GET SO NERVOUS WHEN IT'S TIME TO BID.
- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, LET'S SELL
A LITTLE FURNITURE LOCKER HERE.
WHAT DO YOU WANNA GIVE NOW? 100?
- YEAH. - 100 THERE.
[auctioneering] 125? 125. 150?
175? 175, THERE.
NOW 200? 200? - RIGHT HERE.
- 225? NOW 225. NOW 250. BID OF 250?
- 350! - 350.
I WISH I'D HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT.
- 250, I MEANT 250!
- NOW 400? BID OF 400? 400.
NOW 425? - YEAH.
- 450! - 450 THERE.
475? - YEAH!
- NOW 500? 500?
500. NOW 525. NOW 550?
550? - 550.
- Y'ALL GOT 550 HERE.
NOW 575. 575?
575 LAST CALL.
WANNA GET 575.
ALL RIGHT, SOLD IT RIGHT HERE.
$550.
- RICKY'S GUIDANCE TOTALLY WORKED.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GET A CLOSER LOOK AT THAT FURNITURE.
- WELL, THAT WAS A BUMMER, MOE.
- I'M SUPER PUMPED ABOUT THIS FURNITURE IN HERE.
THE REASON I BOUGHT THIS LOCKER,
ONE OF MY BEST CUSTOMERS IS REDOING HER BEDROOM.
SHE'S A LITTLE PICKY SO I'M GONNA FIND SOMETHING GREAT
THAT I CAN TURN INTO A ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE FOR HER.
THESE DRAWERS ARE ACTUALLY
VINTAGE FRENCH PROVINCIAL DRAWERS.
YOU CAN TELL BECAUSE OF THE HARDWARE AND THE CURVES ON THIS.
HOWEVER, I ONLY SEE THE TWO DRAWERS.
I'M REALLY BUMMED THAT THE DRAWERS
DON'T HAVE DRESSER TO GO WITH THEM,
BUT THE STYLE IS SUPER COOL, SO I'M GONNA FIGURE OUT
SOMETHING ELSE TO DO WITH THEM.
THIS DRESSER LOOKS FANTASTIC,
ACTUALLY HAS CHARACTER.
SEE, PEOPLE WHO DON'T THINK LIKE I DO,
LOOK AT THIS AND THEY'RE LIKE, "OH THAT'S A PIECE OF CRAP,
I DON'T WANT THAT IN MY HOUSE."
AND I LOOK AT THIS AND I THINK "POTENTIAL".
WHAT MAKES THE PIECE EVEN MORE AMAZING IS THAT IT HAS A MIRROR.
BEVELED. THAT ADDS VALUE TO IT.
AND ALL OF THIS ORNATE WOOD CARVING,
THE KIND OF STUFF MY CUSTOMER WOULD LOVE.
NOW LET'S GET A LOOK AT THAT HEADBOARD.
- OH...MY...GOD.
SOMEBODY WAS IT A LITTLE ROUGH IN THIS BED.
THIS SUCKS, IT'S TOTALLY CRACKED HERE.
I NEED TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO HIDE THAT
'CAUSE I CAN'T SELL MY CLIENT A HEADBOARD
THAT HAS A GIANT HOLE IN IT.
[crowd oohing]
- THIS LOOKS...PROMISING.
THESE LIGHTS ARE AWESOME.
I MEAN, THIS IS--THIS IS NERVE-WRACKING, ALL THIS.
AND--PRESSURE, I FEEL--LIKE, THESE PEOPLE WAITING BEHIND ME.
UM, I DON'T KNOW, I GOTTA THINK ABOUT IT.
- WOW, THIS ONE'S A SHAMBLES.
YOU KNOW, I LIKE NICE, ORGANIZED CLEAN LOCKERS.
THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT IT.
- PLASTIC COFFEE TABLE. IT'S CRAP, MAN.
ALTHOUGH I DO LIKE THIS FISHING STUFF.
SEE, NOW WHEN I SEE THAT, I LIKE IT.
THE AIR COMPRESSOR AND STUFF. - DO YOU LIKE THIS?
- NO, I DON'T LIKE THAT.
- TOO MUCH WORK. - I DON'T KNOW.
- I MIGHT BID ON IT. - QUIT LOOKING.
- I'M SENSING A LITTLE FRICTION
BETWEEN THE GOOD OL' BOYS.
[cackles]
- UH, YEAH, NOTHING SAYS GOOD TASTE
LIKE A NICE TATTERED BASKET.
I REALLY WANNA GET A SECOND LOCKER TO MAKE UP FOR THAT
BROKEN HEADBOARD, BUT THERE'S JUST NOTHING IN HERE FOR ME.
- HERE'S SOME MID-CENTURY LAMPS BUT THEY NEED TO BE REBRASSED.
- AW, MAN.
I DON'T WANNA GO AGAINST MOE.
- WHAT ARE YOU GONNA BID NOW? 100?
- YEAH! - 100 THERE. NOW 200?
- 200, OKAY, SHE BID 200. NOW 300?
- YEAH. - 300 IN THE BACK.
- NOW 400. NOW 500?
I GOT 450. NOW 500?
500. NOW 550? - HERE.
550. 600 THERE.
- I LOVE MOE, BUT I WANT THIS LOCKER, SO SCREW IT.
I'M GONNA BID UP AGAINST MOE.
- 650? - 675.
- 675. NOW 700? [auctioneering]
- 700. - 700!
NOW 725? WE'LL STAY THAT WAY.
725? 725!
NOW 750? 750?
750? ONCE.
750-- - 750!
- I GOT 750. NO 775?
- DON'T LET HER PUSH YOU AROUND, MOE.
- 775! GOT 800? - GET IN THERE, MARY.
DON'T LET HIM SHUTTER YOU THERE.
- HE DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE IT. SHOW HIM.
- 800. - 800. NOW 825?
825. LET'S DO IT!
825? - 825.
- 850? - NOPE.
- DON'T LET HIM DO THAT. - DON'T LISTEN TO HIM.
- 850? ONCE.
850? TWICE.
850? THREE TIMES.
I SOLD IT FOR $825.
- NOW IF ANYTHING IN THERE IS HALF AS GOOD AS THAT LAMP,
THIS'LL BE EASY.
- THOUGHT WE WERE BUDS, BUT I GUESS
THE AUCTION WORLD IS AN UGLY--CAN GET UGLY.
- THIS ONE LOOKS A LOT BETTER
THAN THE OTHER UNITS I'VE BEEN LOOKING AT SO FAR.
THE LAWNMOWER, EASY SALE.
I'M A PLAYER HERE.
- OH, THIS IS CUTE.
OOH, THAT'S A COOL DISPLAY RACK FOR A WATCH.
WE'LL SEE HOW THIS ONE ROLLS.
- THERE'S A CARPETED CAT STAND.
THAT'S DISGUSTING, I DON'T EVEN LIKE CATS.
SO I GUESS I'M NOT GETTING A SECOND LOCKER.
- THAT RAILROAD TRACK IS REALLY COOL.
I COULD DO SOMETHING WITH THAT.
BUT THERE'S A LOT OF ELECTRONIC KINDA STUFF IN HERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GONNA GO FOR THE RIGHT PRICE.
THIS ISN'T REALLY WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR,
BUT I DON'T WANNA GO HOME EMPTY-HANDED.
SO DO I JUST BID ON IT?
- THERE'S SOME TAIL IN THERE.
- HONESTLY, SOMEBODY COLLECTS SOMETHING.
THEY GOT THE WHOLE TRAIN SET THERE.
THIS LOCKER LOOKS LIKE IT BELONGED TO A HOBBYIST.
THERE'S PROBABLY A TON OF COLLECTIBLES IN THERE.
I THINK I'LL GO 400 BUCKS.
- I DON'T KNOW, BUBBA, UNLESS WE FIND SOMETHING
REALLY GOOD IN HERE; IT'S HIDDEN.
RULE OF THUMB-- I BUY WHAT I SEE.
AND I DON'T SEE DIDDLY.
I'M NOT BIDDING. - I KINDA LIKE IT.
- YOU LIKE IT? - YOU DON'T LIKE IT,
I LIKE IT, OF COURSE.
- SO, BUBBA, IF I BUY THIS LOCKER,
I CAN HIRE YOU TO HELP ME HAUL IT TODAY?
- I DON'T EVEN WANNA HEAR IT.
- I GOT HIM JUST WHERE I WANT HIM.
HE'S LIKE PUTTY IN MY FINGERTIPS.
- ALL RIGHT! [auctioneering]
200. NOW 250? - YEAH.
250. NOW 300? - YEAH.
- NOW 350? - RIGHT HERE.
IF I DON'T GET THIS LOCKER AT A DECENT PRICE,
I'LL JUST BID HIM UP.
EITHER WAY, I WIN.
- 400 NOW? - BRING IT.
NOW 450? - YEAH.
450 THERE. NOW 500? - RIGHT HERE.
- NOW 500 IN THE BACK? - YEAH.
- NOW 550. 600? - BRING IT.
600 THERE. NOW 650? - RIGHT HERE.
- NOW 700? NOW 700 THERE. - YEAH.
- NO 725? HOW ABOUT THAT? - RIGHT HERE.
- 725. NOW 750?
- SON OF A BITCH. 750? ONCE!
750? TWICE. - YEAH.
- 750! NOW 800? [auctioneering]
800? GOING ONCE, TWICE?
800? THREE TIMES.
I SOLD IT RIGHT HERE, $750.
- I MAY HAVE PAID A LITTLE MORE THAN I WANTED TO,
BUT IF I'M RIGHT ABOUT THOSE COLLECTIBLES,
WE'RE GONNA MAKE SOME BANK.
THAT'S A MONEYMAKER RIGHT THERE. - ALL RIGHT.
- WELL I KNOW I DIDN'T BUY A LOCKER TODAY,
BUT I ACHIEVED MY GOAL.
BY THE END OF THE DAY, BUBBA COULDN'T TELL WHICH WAY WAS UP.
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY A LOCKER TO WIN.
[chuckles]
- I HAD A GREAT PLAN FOR GETTING TO THE AUCTION,
BUT I DIDN'T THINK SO MUCH ABOUT HOW TO GET BACK.
MARY, MARY, MARY! - WHAT'S UP, MOE?
- I NEED YOU TO DO ME A FAVOR.
HELP ME GET THIS STUFF BACK TO MY OFFICE.
- ARE YOU KIDDING ME, MOE?
UM, HELLO, THAT WAS THE LOCKER IT WANTED.
- WELL, HEAR ME OUT.
I'M GONNA PICK A FEW THINGS
AND I WILL GIVE YOU WHATEVER YOU WANT IN THE LOCKER.
IT'S A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH OF US.
- I MEAN, MOE'S HAND-ME-DOWNS?
BETTER THAN NOTHING, SO WHY NOT?
OKAY. - IS THAT GOOD?
- YEAH. THAT'S FINE.
- GREAT. THANK YOU.
LET'S TAKE A LOOK.
AIR COMPRESSOR, 150 BUCKS, EASY.
I WANTED TO SEE THESE LIGHTS. - THAT'S COOL.
- THIS'LL BE MINE. - DANG IT.
I WANTED THAT LAMP.
- I CAN GET ABOUT $575.
- WHATEVER. NEXT.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS PIECE OF, UH...
- [laughs] - WHAT DO YOU THINK?
- NO.
OLD DISKS.
WHO USES A FLOPPY DISK ANYMORE?
KIDS THESE DAYS DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HECK THIS IS.
- [laughs]
CLASSIC POWER PUMP.
- WHOA. - I WONDER IF THIS REALLY WORKS.
- NO.
- WHOA, MARY!
COME HERE. LOOK! - WHAT?
GOLD? DID YOU STRIKE GOLD?
- NO, NOT GOLD, BUT IT COULD BE GOLD.
THIS MAY BE A MID-CENTURY SOFA.
HERE, WALK THAT OVER THERE.
IT'S GOT HANDLES.
- LOOKS LIKE A CANOE TO ME, MOE.
- IT'S NOT A CANOE.
I THINK WE GOTTA GET IT APPRAISED.
WHAT MAKES THIS A COOL FIND IS WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.
THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ELSE LEFT FOR ME IN THE LOCKER.
SO MARY'S GONNA TAKE THE REST.
I'M TAKING THE PENIS PUMP.
- WHAT NUMBER ARE WE? 25? - YEAH.
WE'RE BACK AT THE LOCKER THAT FOR SOME REASON,
BUBBA FELT COMPELLED TO SPEND $750 ON.
IT'S TIME TO FIND OUT IF THIS LOCKER IS A STUD OR A DUD.
$750.
- THAT'S A NICE LAMP.
- IT'S NOT A FREAKIN' LAMP. - WHAT IS IT?
- IT'S A MAGNIFYING GLASS.
- 30 BUCKS. - CHEAP TOOL SET.
- TEN BUCKS.
- YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING?
- I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT. - $750.
I THINK I MADE THE MOTHER LODE.
CHRISTMAS CARDS. - THEY'RE ALL NEW?
- OKAY, [chuckles] HOW MUCH IS THERE?
- 20 BUCKS.
- ARE YOU [bleep] ME?
A LAWNMOWER MISSING PARTS. - [sighs]
YEAH, IT'S CRAP.
CRAP, CRAP STACKED ON CRAP.
THAT'S A NICE SET.
- THAT AIN'T WHAT'S IN THERE.
IT'S CRAP.
- BLAH BLAH BLAH.
- I THINK VICTOR GOT IN YOUR HEAD TODAY.
- THIS IS NOT GOING WELL AT ALL.
BUT THERE IS A JEWELRY BOX
THAT MIGHT PULLS US OUT OF THE HOLE.
THAT'S NOTHING.
- GOT YOU SOME PEARLS TO WEAR TO THE NEXT DANCE.
- THAT COULD BE REAL.
THAT AIN'T REAL.
- [sighs] GOD ALMIGHTY.
HERE'S A TRIP TO THE DUMP.
WE'RE NOT EVEN GONNA BREAK EVEN.
- [bleep]
- I THINK THIS IS OUR ONLY HOPE RIGHT HERE.
LET'S CHECK OUT YOUR TRAIN SET, BUBBA.
- THAT'S THE COLLECTIBLE SIZE TOO.
- YEAH.
- DOES THAT NOT GO IN THERE?
ONE PIECE OF A TRAIN THAT DOESN'T EVEN GO TO THE TRACK?
BOY, THIS UNIT JUST GETS BETTER AND BETTER.
I'M PISSED. TODAY SUCKED.
- I'M DISGUSTED. - I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT.
- FROM THE LOOKS OF THIS LOCKER,
THESE FOLKS DEFINITELY OWNED A POOL.
IT WAS A CESSPOOL.
- I'M AT MARY'S SHOP.
WE LOADED UP ALL THE LEFTOVERS FROM MY LOCKER INTO MARY'S CAR.
AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE DID
WITH ALL THAT JUNK IN HER TRUNK.
MARY? - HEY, MOE!
SO YOU WANNA SEE WHAT I MADE?
YOU REMEMBER THOSE FLOPPY DISKS I FOUND?
- THAT'S COOL.
- SO WHEN I WAS DIGGING THROUGH THE REST OF THE STUFF,
THERE WERE ABOUT 200 OF THESE THINGS.
I JUST TOOK THE DISKS, SPLIT IT IN HALF,
TOOK OUT THE LITTLE FILM PIECE AND JUST MADE A FOLDING SCREEN.
- EXCELLENT. I LIKE HOW YOU PUT THE COLORS TOGETHER.
- THANKS, MOE.
- WHAT DO YOU THINK PRICE-WISE?
- I WOULD SAY 75 BUCKS.
- I THINK YOU'RE SELLING YOURSELF SHORT.
I THINK, EASILY YOU CAN PUT 160 ON THIS.
THAT'S WHAT I WOULD DO.
- OKAY, MOE, IF YOU SAY SO.
I'M SO GLAD THAT MOE LIKES THE PIECE.
HE'S LIKE A FINE ARTS EXPERT.
- WAS THERE ANYTHING ELSE IN THAT LOCKER
THAT YOU THOUGHT WE COULD USE? - NO.
- WELL I'M HAPPY TO SEE MARY WAS ABLE TO MAKE
SOMETHING OUT OF NOTHING, AND NOW WE GOTTA GET
THAT INFLATABLE THING APPRAISED.
- CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT IT IS.
- I'M AT MY SHOP, UPTOWN COUNTRY,
WHERE I'VE BEEN WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK
TRYING TO RESTORE THE BEAT UP FURNITURE I FOUND IN MY LOCKER.
REMEMBER THAT DRESSER THAT THE TOP WAS DESTROYED?
THIS IS IT NOW.
- JUST DARLING.
- I SANDED THE WHOLE THING, DISTRESSED THE EDGES.
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE, JUST PUT IT BACK ON.
- 600? - PERFECT.
SIX HUNDO.
OKAY, AND DO YOU REMEMBER IT HAD A MIRROR THAT WENT WITH IT?
I JUST PAINTED IT TO MATCH.
- I THINK WE CAN GET 250.
- LET'S MAKE IT 250.
OKAY, REMEMBER THE FRENCH PROVINCIAL DRAWERS
THAT WAS MISSING ITS DRESSER?
I MADE IT INTO A WALL SHELF.
SCREWED THIS TOGETHER, SOME GLUE, ADDED THE FABRIC
AND THEN PUT LITTLE SHELVES THERE.
I WANNA MAKE THIS GUY $160.
- OH, DEFINITELY.
GOOD JOB, JENNY.
- REMEMBER THE BED THAT HAD THE BUSTED HEADBOARD?
- OH...MY...GOD.
- I PUT PADDING UNDER IT, COVERED IT WITH THE FABRIC.
I PAINTED IT, DID THE DISTRESS, LOVE THE FUN COLOR.
- I SAY...900.
IT'S INCREDIBLE.
- AND I HAVE AN AMAZING PIECE FOR MY CLIENT.
HI. - HEY, JENNY.
- HOW ARE YOU? - I'M DOING WELL, HOW ARE YOU?
- OH, MY GOD.
IS THIS-- - THE BED?
YES. YOU LIKE IT? - I LOVE IT.
- THIS IS LIKE DR. SEUSS MEETS LILLY PULITZER.
HOW MUCH IS IT?
- 900?
- WOW.
I'LL TAKE IT. - REALLY?
- YEAH, I REALLY WANT IT.
THAT'S A SHOWSTOPPER.
- SCORE!
- MARY AND I FOUND THIS GIANT INFLATABLE THING IN THIS LOCKER.
SINCE WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS, WE LOOKED UP
AN INFLATABLE EXPERT TO GET THIS THING CHECKED OUT.
- OKAY, LET'S SEE WHAT SHE'LL DO.
[air pump whirring]
[all chuckling]
- WHOA.
- WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS AN OLD-FASHIONED
HUMAN HAMSTER BALL.
- OH... - AND IT'LL ROLL AROUND
ON GRASS OR...
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN GOOD SHAPE.
- WHAT'S OUR VALUE HERE?
- WELL, YOU KNOW, WE COMPARE 'EM TO THIS.
THIS IS A TOP OF THE LINE NEW VERSION,
ALL THE SAFETY FEATURES.
THIS WOULD SET YOU BACK AROUND $1500.
- OKAY. - WHAT WE HAVE HERE
IS THE OLDER STYLE.
I'M GONNA SAY, UM...
$200.
- ONLY $200? - WHAT WERE YOU EXPECTING?
- WELL, CLOSER TO 1500. - YEAH, RIGHT.
IT'S NOT THE PROFIT I WAS HOPING FOR,
BUT AT LEAST IT COVERED MY CAB FAIR.
AND I'M BACK IN THE GAME.
BUT DON'T TELL MY WIFE.
- CAN WE TRY IT OUT? - SURE.
[laughter]
- ONE, TWO, THREE, GO!
LET'S GO MARY, LET'S GO, MOE.
COME ON! COME ON!
- [laughs]
- LET'S GO, MARY, LET'S GO, MOE!
CATCH UP, MOE!
COME ON, HURRY UP, MOE!
WHOO!
GOOD JOB, MARY.
- SECOND PLACE.
- YES. - SECOND PLACE? NO PLACE.
- MOE STUCK ME WITH ALL THE WORTHLESS STUFF
IN HIS LOCKER, SO I GOT PAYBACK.
- AREN'T YOU GONNA HELP ME?
NO. - OH!
narrator: THE LAKE HIGHLAND WINNER
WAS JENNY GRUMBLES, WHO TUCKED
$1400 UNDER HER PILLOW FOR HER BEDROOM SET AND HEADBOARD.
MARY PADIAN FILED AWAY $160 WITH HER FLOPPY DISK SCREEN.
MOE PRIGOFF ROLLED OFF WITH $100 PROFIT.
AND VICTOR RJESNJANSKY WALKED AWAY WITH NOTHING.
BUT HIS DEVIOUS PLAN LEFT RICKY AND BUBBA WITH EVEN LESS.
- JUST MAKE SURE YOU GUYS GET ME OUT OF HERE, OKAY?
HO! - WHOA!
- OH, MY GOD, HOW DO I GET IN HERE?
[chuckles]
I HOPE I DON'T DIE IN HERE.
- HEY, MARY, TAKE SHORT BREATHS SO YOU DON'T RUN OUT OF AIR.
- I FEEL LIKE THE BUBBLE BOY RIGHT NOW.
