80'S ABOUT MY MAXIMUM TODAY.

ON IT. >> YOU BROKE IT, YOU BARTER FOR
A NEW ONE.
>> AW, MAN.
FINE, DONE--I'M GONNA GO GET ONE.
>> DO IT, MAN, DO IT! >> I POSTED A DIGITAL CAMERA ON
CRAIGSLIST.
MAN, I GOT A LOT OF RESULTS.
ONE STOOD OUT IN MY MIND THOUGH. THIS GUY'S GOT A CUSTOM
CONSTRUCTION SAWZALL.
PEOPLE USE SAWZALLS FOR ALL
KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS. HOW YOU DOING?
>> HOW YOU DOING?
>> YOU MATT?
>> YOU MUST BE ANTONIO. >> I AM.
>> MY NAME'S MATT.
I CURRENTLY WORK CONSTRUCTION.
I'M LOOKING TO CHANGE INTO A DIFFERENT CAREER PATH.
>> MIND IF WE LOOK AT THAT
SAWZALL?
I'D LOVE TO CHECK IT OUT. >> YEAH, NO PROBLEM.
LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT.

>> HERE WE GO. >> IS THIS THE ONE I CAN PUT
DIFFERENT BLADES--LIKE, CUT
TILE, WOOD, STEEL?

>> IS THERE ANY CHANCE I CAN
CHECK OUT YOUR CAMERA?

SAWZALL.
IT'S--UH, IT'S GOT 12.1
MEGAPIXEL. IT'S GOT ALL YOUR ACTION

I MEAN, IT'S A GREAT LITTLE
CAMERA. >> OKAY.
>> SO EXACTLY WHY ARE YOU
LOOKING FOR A CAMERA?
>> I'VE DONE A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION--YOU KNOW, IT'S
MADE ME A LOT OF MONEY.
BUT RIGHT NOW, ACTION SPORTS
PHOTOGRAPHY IS SOMETHING I'D REALLY LIKE TO GET INTO.
>> SO YOU DON'T DIG THE
CONSTRUCTION FIELD AT ALL, HUH?
IT'S A HARD JOB. >> RIGHT.
WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT, ANTONIO?
WITH TWO JOBS THAT I COULD DO
WITH THIS THING, I COULD SAVE UP ENOUGH TO BUY A CAMERA JUST AS
GOOD AS THAT ONE.
>> THINK ABOUT IT.
DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO TAKE THIS CAMERA OUT AND START MAKING
MONEY THE WAY YOU REALLY WANT TO
MAKE MONEY?
>> RIGHT. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT.
>> WHAT DO YOU SAY?
MY CAMERA FOR YOUR SAWZALL?
DO WE HAVE A DEAL? >> I THINK WE GOT OURSELVES A
DEAL.
>> ALL RIGHT, MAN.
I JUST TRADED A CAMERA WORTH $150 UP TO A SAWZALL WORTH $400.
THAT WAS AN EASY TRADE 'CAUSE
HE REALLY, REALLY NEEDED THE
DIGITAL CAMERA. I'M OFF TO A GOOD START.
I'LL BE GETTING THAT SCISSOR
LIFT IN NO TIME. >> IF ANTONIO'S GONNA KEEP
BREAKING STUFF, CLEARLY I'M
GONNA HAVE TO GET OUT THERE AND
MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH. I POSTED THE BOW ONLINE, AND I
GOT A HIT FROM A GUY WHO HAS A
DEEP FRYER THAT HE WANTS TO
TRADE. HEY, ARE YOU HAUDINE?
>> YES, SIR. STEVE?
I SAW STEVE'S AD.
I'M GOING ON A TRIP WITH MY BROTHER, AND I WANT TO HAVE MY
OWN COMPOUND BOW.
HERE'S THE FRYER, SIR.
THIS IS COMMERCIAL GRADE-- INDUSTRIAL, STAINLESS STEEL.
YOU CAN PUT ANY KIND OF OIL IN
IT, EXCEPT FOR MOTOR OIL.
>> [laughs] >> THIS IS THE BASKET.
YOU CAN THROW SOME CRAWDADS IN
THERE.
CHICKENS, TURKEYS, QUAILS, SHRIMP, WHATEVER YOU WANT.
>> [laughs]
CAN I FIT MY PARTNER IN HERE?
>> PIECE BY PIECE, MAYBE. [laughter]
>> WHO HAD THIS BEFORE?
>> IT WAS JUST SOMETHING WE
ENDED UP PICKING UP ON A SWAP. >> ALMOST LIKE A TRADE.
>> OF COURSE.
>> SO DO YOU MIND IF WE GO TAKE
A LOOK AT THAT BOW? >> LET'S GO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT
BOW.
>> AWESOME, OKAY, COOL.
TOP OF THE LINE COMPOUND BOW. THE COMPANY'S BEEN AROUND FOR
OVER 100 YEARS.
THEY GOT A GREAT REPUTATION.
THIS ONE IS KIND OF THEIR ADVANCED MODEL.
IT'S GOT 70 POUNDS OF PULL,
WHICH MEANS IT'S NOT COMPETITION
BUT REALLY CLOSE. >> WOW, THERE'S QUITE A BIT OF
TENSION IN HERE.
>> NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT THIS
THING FOR? >> MY BROTHER INVITED ME ON A
TRIP, AND THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT
I'M GONNA BE NEEDING ON IT.
HOW MUCH IS THIS REALLY WORTH? >> BOTTOM LINE, THAT THING'S
WORTH ABOUT 200 BUCKS.
>> YOUR 200 BUCKS AGAINST MY
DEEP FRYER, 750? WE'RE A LITTLE FAR APART.
>> YOU TOLD ME YOU GOT THAT
THING ON A SWAP.
>> I DID GET THAT ON A SWAP. >> SO YOU HAVE NO CASH IN THAT
DEAL.
THERE'S NO SKIN IN THAT GAME
EXCEPT FOR WHATEVER YOU SWAPPED. >> THAT'S TRUE.
>> AND I'M BRINGING YOU A
COMPOUND BOW FOR YOUR TRIP.
WE HAVE A DEAL? >> YOU GOT YOURSELF A DEAL.
>> AWESOME.
I JUST TRADED A COMPOUND BOW
WORTH $200 UP TO A PRESSURE FRYER WORTH $750.
>> I'M HAPPY WITH THE TRADE
BECAUSE I GOT SOMETHING I
NEEDED, AND I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY CASH. [rattling]
>> AAH!
[phone ringing]
>> WHAT'S HAPPENING? >> HEY, MAN.
WE HAVE CRAP PILING UP ALL OVER
THE WAREHOUSE THAT NEEDS TO GO
UP ON SHELVES, EVERYWHERE. WE NEED THAT SCISSOR LIFT.
>> I'M WORKING ON IT.
I GOT IT UNDER CONTROL.
>> YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BROKE THAT SCISSOR LIFT IN THE FIRST PLACE,
MAN.
>> I DIDN'T BREAK THE
SCISSOR LIFT, MAN. IT JUST HAPPENED TO BREAK WHILE
I WAS ON IT.
>> JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN, BROTHER.
WE NEED ONE MORE THAN YOU KNOW. >> THIS SAWZALL IS BECOMING A
MAJOR PAIN IN MY BUTT.
>> CAN YOU THROW ANYTHING ELSE
IN OR SWEETEN THE POT? YOU GOT MAYBE SOME DRILLS OR--?
>> I DON'T.
THAT'S ALL I BROUGHT WITH ME.
>> I THINK I CAN HONESTLY GET A BETTER DEAL.
>> THERE'S NO WAY, HUH?
>> NO.
>> I SAW YOUR AD ONLINE ABOUT THE SAWZALL.
I BROUGHT IN THIS SUBWOOFER.
>> I HAVE A TON OF 12-INCH
SUBWOOFERS, THEY'RE JUST A DIME A DOZEN FOR ME.
>> IT WASN'T EXACTLY WHAT I WAS
EXPECTING.
>> I THINK THAT'S MY BIGGEST CONCERN RIGHT THERE.
>> IF I DON'T TRADE UP WITH THIS
SAWZALL, I'M GONNA BE STUCK IN
IT, SO I GOTTA MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN FAST. I FINALLY HEARD FROM A GUY WHO
SAID HE HAD SOME LAWNMOWERS TO
TRADE.
I GOTTA MAKE THIS WORK. >> ANTONIO.
>> YEAH.
>> HOW YOU DOING?
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER, HAILEE. >> HI.
>> HI, HAILEE, HOW ARE YOU?
>> I RECENTLY GOT LAID OFF, AND
I THOUGHT, WITH A SAWZALL, I COULD GO OUT AND DO SOME OTHER
STUFF IN THE CONSTRUCTION
INDUSTRY.
>> LIKE I SAID, IT'S ALMOST BRAND-NEW.
[buzzing]
LIKE BUTTER, RIGHT?
YOU CAN GET A LONG ENOUGH BLADE, IT'LL CUT THAT TREE DOWN.
>> YEAH, IT LOOKS PRETTY NEW.
>> WHICH LAWNMOWER WERE YOU
INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR IT? >> I'D BE INTERESTED IN TRADING
THAT PUSH MOWER RIGHT THERE.
>> THAT?
THAT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE IT RUNS.
>> OH, IT RUNS.
YOU WANNA HEAR IT?
>> NO, IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BLOW UP.
>> YEAH, WE TALKED ON THE PHONE.
I TOLD YOU I HAD A FUNCTIONING
MOWER. >> YOU DIDN'T TELL ME IT WAS 10-
TO 12-YEARS-OLD FUNCTIONING.
THAT WOULD BE MORE LIKE WHAT I'D
BE INTERESTED IN TRADING FOR MY SAWZALL.
I'D BE WILLING TO TRADE
SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
>> THERE'S NO WAY. >> LOOK, YOU BUY, SELL, AND
FIX UP TRACTORS.
HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU ACTUALLY
HAVE INTO THIS ONE? >> I BOUGHT HER FOR 100.
$50 IN PARTS.
>> SO THAT'S 150 BUCKS YOU'RE
INTO THIS TRACTOR, RIGHT? >> YEAH, BUT THERE'S NO DOUBT IN
MY MIND THAT'S AN $800 TRACTOR,
AND THIS IS A $400 TOOL, MAN. >> THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND
THAT'S AN $800 TRACTOR, AND THIS
IS A $400 TOOL, MAN.
>> WELL, $800 IS WHAT YOU'RE SELLING IT FOR, BUT THAT'S NOT
WHAT YOU GOT INTO IT.
>> I DON'T KNOW, MAN.
>> EXACTLY WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A SAWZALL?
>> WELL, I'M IN CONSTRUCTION.
I'M KIND OF IN BETWEEN JOBS
RIGHT NOW. I FIGURED I'D BETTER LEARN
ANOTHER TRADE IN CONSTRUCTION,
SO I WAS THINKING ABOUT
CARPENTRY. >> YOU KNOW WHAT, YOU CAN TRADE
ME THAT SAWZALL, YOU CAN GET
BACK INTO THE CONSTRUCTION
BUSINESS. I THINK THAT'S A FAIR TRADE.
>> WELL, NOW THAT YOU PUT IT
THAT WAY...
YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT.
I JUST TRADED A SAWZALL UP TO A
RIDING LAWNMOWER.
[cash register dings] >> ANTONIO'S RIGHT.
WITH THIS SAW, I COULD PROBABLY
BE MAKING A LOT MORE MONEY THAN
IF I SOLD THIS MOWER. >> I'LL BE GETTING THAT
SCISSOR LIFT IN NO TIME. >> I JUST TRADED UP TO A DEEP
FRYER, AND A GOOD TRADER ALWAYS
TESTS HIS ITEM.
SO I'M GONNA CLEAN THIS THING UP AND THEN TEST IT OUT.
IN THIS CASE, NOTHING COULD BE
SWEETER.
>> WHAT IS THIS THING, A JACUZZI?
>> THAT'S A DEEP FRYER, MAN.
>> WOW, YOU EVER HAD DEEP-FRIED
TWINKIES? >> THAT'S WHAT I'M MAKING.
>> ARE YOU SERIOUS?
>> YEAH.
I KNOW YOU GREW UP AT THE COUNTY FAIR, I CAN TELL.
>> YEAH, YOU COULD TELL, RIGHT?
>> WHY DON'T YOU HELP OUT?
HOW'S THAT? >> YEAH, LET'S FRY A TWINKIE UP. >> OH, LOOK AT THAT.
WHOO! I CAN TRADE ANYTHING AND
FRY ANYTHING.
THIS FRYER IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.
IT WORKS PERFECT, IT COOKS
PERFECT, AND I'M GONNA USE THIS
THING TO MAKE A HUGE JUMP UP ON MY NEXT TRADE.
>> THAT'S A GOOD TWINKIE. I STARTED WITH A BOW, AND I
TRADED THAT TO A DEEP FRYER,
ON MY WAY UP TO SOMETHING THAT I
COULD SELL FOR CASH. I POSTED THIS DEEP FRYER ON
CRAIGSLIST.
I GOT A RESPONSE FROM A GUY WHO
HAS A GO-KART THAT HE WANTS TO TRADE.
I SAW A PICTURE OF THIS GO-KART
ONLINE, AND THIS THING LOOKS
INCREDIBLE. ARE YOU TOM?
>> YEAH.
>> HEY, STEVE.
>> STEVE. >> I'M INTERESTED IN TAKING A
LOOK AT STEVE'S DEEP FRYER
BECAUSE WE ARE BUILDING AN
OUTDOOR KITCHEN. >> I'M ASSUMING THAT'S NOT IT,
HUH?
>> THIS WOULD BE THE GO-KART.
>> WOW, MAN. >> I ACTUALLY DID A REBUILD ON
IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.
IT HAS A SIX-SPEED LINEAR
SHIFTER. IT SHIFTS JUST LIKE A
MOTORCYCLE.
IT'LL GO ABOUT 85 MILES AN HOUR.
>> THIS THING IS AWESOME. >> TAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT, TOM.
I CANNOT WAIT TO GET BEHIND THE
WHEEL OF THIS GO-KART. OH, DAMN!
>> YEAH, IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE
TIGHT.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, YOU CAN GET IN THERE.
THIS THING IS VERY FAST, BE
CAREFUL WITH IT.
>> CAREFUL'S MY MIDDLE NAME. [engine revs]
WHOO!
OH, DAMN!
>> CRANK IT UP! >> DAMN, DOG!
>> ALL RIGHT.
PRETTY COOL, HUH?
>> THIS THING'S BAD-ASS! HOLY SMOKES.
>> WELL, NOW THAT I KNOW YOU
LIKE THIS THING, LET'S LOOK AT
WHAT YOU GOT. WHOA.
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.
I'M TAKING THIS THING OFF THE
TRAILER, AND I BREAK THE HINGE ON THE DOOR.
>> AW, [bleep]!
>> I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS THING
WAS NICE! WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE DOOR?
>> I JUST--THE HINGE BROKE WHEN
I ROLLED IT OFF THAT THING.
SO I WILL--UH, I WILL MAKE SURE THAT IS FIXED.
AND IT'S JUST THIS HINGE RIGHT
HERE.
>> I DON'T KNOW. LOOK AT THE CONDITION HERE...
AND LOOK AT THE CONDITION OF
THAT.
>> HAVE YOU TRIED TO SELL THAT? >> OH, YEAH.
>> FOR HOW LONG?
>> A YEAR.
>> SO WHAT'S YOUR PLANS WITH THAT IF WE DON'T DO THIS TRADE?
ARE YOU GONNA TRY TO GET 2
GRAND FOR A 17-YEAR-OLD KART?
>> I'LL TRY. >> AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA TRY TO
BUY A FRYER AFTER THAT.
YOU KNOW THEY RANGE FROM 6 TO
9 GRAND BRAND-NEW. WHAT DO YOU SAY, TOM?
>> IT'S GOT ALL THE BELLS AND
WHISTLES.
I'D BE THE ONLY ONE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH ONE LIKE THIS.
[deep breath]
ALL RIGHT, STEVE.
>> I JUST WENT FROM A DEEP FRYER WORTH $750 TO A GO-KART WORTH
$1,200.
[cash register dings]
>> IT DOESN'T LOOK THE WAY I WANT, BUT THIS THING IS A NICE,
BIG DEEP FRYER.
>> BEAUTIFUL. >> I STARTED WITH A DIGITAL
CAMERA, TRADED UP TO A SAWZALL,
TRADED THAT FOR A RIDING
LAWNMOWER, AND I MADE A QUICK TRADE UP TO A PITCHING MACHINE.
>> SO IF WE ACTUALLY GET THIS,
WOULD YOU MOW THE LAWN?
>> YEAH. >> WE GOT A DEAL?
>> WE GOT A DEAL.
>> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> DUDE, THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A SCISSOR LIFT.
>> I KNOW, LET'S JUST TEST IT
OUT.
I BET I COULD BEAT YOU IN BASEBALL.
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHALLENGE
ME TO THIS COMPETITION, THIS IS
ON. LET ME SHOW YOU HOW A REAL
ATHLETE HITS A BASEBALL.
>> [laughs]
>> OH, YOU SUCKER, MAN! >> [laughs]
YOU ALMOST HIT YOURSELF, KID!
>> LET'S SEE HOW<i> YOU</i> DO.
COME ON! PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE THE MOUTH
IS, MAN.
ARE YOU READY?
>> YEAH! [grunts]
YOU JUST TURNED IT UP, [bleep]!
>> I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
>> [laughs] YOU [bleep]ING LIAR. OH-HO-HO-HO!
>> HA!
>> YEAH!
THAT'S HOW WE DO IT IN THE HIGH DESERT!
HEY, MAN, WHAT WILL YOU DO
WITHOUT ME ON THE NEXT TRADE
WHEN YOU CAN'T DEMONSTRATE THIS THING, MAN?
>> YEAH, RIGHT. >> I POSTED MY GO-KART ONLINE,
AND I GOT A HIT FROM A GUY
THAT'S GOT A DANCE DANCE
REVOLUTION ARCADE MACHINE. THIS DANCE DANCE REVOLUTION
MACHINE MIGHT BE THE PERFECT
THING I COULD BRING BACK TO THE
SHOP BECAUSE I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO LOVES TO DANCE, AND IT AIN'T ME.
HEY, ARE YOU JOHN?
>> HOW YOU DOING?
>> GOOD, HOW ARE YOU, MAN? >> I'M INTO ALL KINDS OF
MOTORSPORTS.
I HAVE A NEED FOR SPEED, AND A
GO-KART'S SOMETHING THAT I DON'T HAVE IN MY COLLECTION.
>> WELL, DUDE, YOU GOTTA TELL ME
ABOUT THIS MACHINE, MAN.
WHAT'S THE STORY, MAN? YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A DANCER,
NO OFFENSE.
>> I ACTUALLY BOUGHT IT FOR A
GIRLFRIEND. WE'VE BROKEN UP, LIKE, TEN
TIMES.
SO THIS THING HAS, LIKE, ZERO
SENTIMENTAL VALUE TO ME. >> YOU MIND SHOWING ME HOW THIS
THING WORKS?
>> ALL RIGHT.
SO YOU'RE GONNA START IN THE MIDDLE, MUSIC'S GONNA COME ON.
