HOW WE SOLD 25 BIKES IN ONE DAY!

okay so we have an older gentleman that we call the lawnmower man his name is actually benny and he cruises around and picks up lawn mowers out of the trash among many other pieces of equipment that he fixes and i just saw him lurking around let's see where he's at hey what are you doing the trailer yeah we went to new york to get some stuff wow but enough equipment nothing like you like furniture and others various all that one uh thing you got into that's nice what in the garage yeah the couch yeah you know how much i paid for that i don't know but it's nice an hour five bucks i was the only one to bid on it who bought this couch for five you wanted to be there this guy i mean we did but admit you were claiming that i look like i belonged on it though like this is a freaking killer cast though dude it's not that dirty no it's not at all five dollars is that what it was like an auction you went to yeah it was like a big moving company they would take stuff move it into the warehouse into these giant crates and the people are supposed to pay them to store it like normal yeah and he said a lot of them just ended up not paying and so then they were like and then they own it and they were kind of like well then can you come get the stuff and the people would come and take like two or three things and then just leave the rest of it well it's like storage kits yeah basically right it's a storage company but they have storage units that you just like can pull up and go inside yourself but then they have a whole another warehouse full of these big crates and what he was saying is his dad and his uncle were really interested in the crates but he's not so he wants to get rid of everything so that he can actually make money off of storing people's stuff instead of just having it there you know so you had quite a ride it was pretty far i was in long island the thing is how far out on long island that's why they're cool [Laughter] you ain't wrong boys you ain't wrong got these chairs there hey you know what there was that today uh a double she could take two cats no we only need this one okay these 20 bucks for all boy they're nice broad irons always nice boy but look at the finish on their upholstery wow and then the couch for five and then about 50 of these boxes filled with random stuff this nice there right yeah she wants to keep this and use it in the house yeah boy look at how long that is talking yeah long island what else would you have in long island and that other vents there the wood one for five and then a bunch and that's what you did you just bid one yeah nobody else bid on these at all you know what this is what kind of wood nah i think it's pecan i'm not sure only because of the little dots but i'm not sure you seem pretty sure yeah i just saw it maybe it's pecan uh don't forget me on the drill press you want that yeah whenever you know whenever we can get it out here that's that's correct you know no time or anything like that that's all year though you can have that do you think that you uh won all them bikes i mean probably yeah okay when do you want to get them well you let me know well how about because how about tomorrow i have nothing there is no schedule for benny so i gotta you know anytime tucker but all i i like to do is because the back up against the fence now between the fence and then the bikes and then you've got riding lawnmowers you've got push lawn mowers you have pressure washers you have the [Music] oh great big pump big giant pump with a boy a real nice uh good motor on it a uh honda motor big i mean like one they used a great big hose for pumping that the guy worked for this city came from two blocks away so i don't have none of that what is that all in the way of the bikes is that what you're saying or that's on top of the bikes yeah no no no no no no meaning like that so we can get the bikes i i just got to get a space that i could you know walk through okay so when do you want to start getting the bikes you said you're going to come tomorrow i can do that yeah so i can bring the trailer there and then we can just fill it up is that what you want to do huh you mean just drop it off leave the trailer no like i'll bring the trailer and then i'll fill it with all the bikes and then i'll bring it back here well yeah that yeah well right that's the idea but what i want to do is i'll i'll get them out and i'll have them right there at the front of the house yeah along the fence you know i have them all there that's fine also if you don't want to do that i can just i can go back there and get them out with you or whatever yeah you don't have to do that yeah i mean i don't want to put you under any stress here buddy i need something to do doc okay then yes start bringing them out and i'll plan on coming to get them but what time do you want me to come i'm up at six i don't think i'll be there at six but i know but you'll be there tomorrow at some time okay or if you start bringing them out today how many bikes you think it is maybe 30 35 you think we can put them all in that trailer or should i come get like you know four or five today we're going to see and then come to you know see what's going on okay so you're saying in other words if i get them out today if you start bringing them out maybe i can just start coming and picking up a couple so that it's not too much to get at once yeah i mean the great grand bike adventure and boy oh boy i mean i have so much stuff for them oh my god i don't know how i get all this benny's grand bicycle emporium don't know how i get it i do look at this thing is and oh you know what i want you to show me remember you said you went to a millionaire's house and you got a real good bike uh yeah come on maybe two weeks ago millionaires oh yeah yeah the bike in the yard show me the bike no okay here's what i wanted to know about it okay this is the operating system that's really neat did you ride this bike yeah all the gears worked no front brakes and you do know how that how it works no i don't really well it just switches oh yeah like i know how it rides yeah because i have a bike like this but it's not a swing and something else it does is it folds up uh the one i have and it don't have rusted lines that are going to break yeah i'm an idiot and had it outside and that's how it's getting rusty but i thought i'd be able to sell it easily you should have stuck some grease on and it's the greatest shifting system it is great this is such a nice bike but i had it up for only some guy came here and i told him i'd give it to him for 100 bucks and he wrote it around and then he was like oh you know what i don't want it but he's never getting the bike like this again for 100 bucks ever so i say this system this system is just unbelievable this system if it works this is works good it's nice okay so earlier today the local legend mower man himself came by uh and he was talking about all these bikes that he has at his house that he wants to scrap get rid of he doesn't want them they're taking up too much room he said in his yard so he said there's 30 bikes we made a plan to get the trailer hooked up and then i'll go over there and get them tomorrow and whatever ones i can sell we can sell me and sammy will sell and then whatever ones are not sellable we can scrap so that's what we're doing i'm gonna trade him well he just wants him gone but i have a drill press that he wants it's in the garage i haven't used it in over a year i have no use for it and i got it for fray so i'm giving that to him for the bikes i've given him other stuff not really like a fair trade but he doesn't want the bikes i don't want the press he's a legendary dude but either way long story short we're going over there right now and i'm going to be picking up maybe three or four of the bikes right now just to start it going and see where we go from there he lives very close to my house so shouldn't be much of a problem to get them but i'm gonna call this just you know the the great bike hall 2021 massive bike score oh that's a lot of bikes hey how are you the big bike score yeah you think i should just get them all tomorrow with the trailer or take something or take some now take some then and then come with the trailer tomorrow because i'm not gonna bring it today i might just take like four or five now just to lighten the load a little right medium large xl [Music] so some of them are just going to be straight scrap probably right so any of the ones that look decent wow all right i grabbed some of the bikes i think just six to start six bikes i mean there's a lot here this is the bike collection that's all going here i think all the other is about 20 bikes but he's back here and he wants to show me this mower that he found in the trash and fixed what's the deal with it let's see this thing ron the mower ah well i don't normally don't keep them over again yeah that's not reason to right no it means i wasn't running it but it's really neat the way they uh charges the battery huh kick it on again it's not gonna go uh i don't think so of course it guesses it's way down did you see the way this thing is for bag and mulch wow did you just shift the lever over what do you normally bag it huh do you bag it yeah normally i do when i when i have a job to do and i i just want a big brutal machine let's say i have this other one it's sort of like a really some machine it's the one that has the swivel wheels this one where did you get all these maybe i wanted a sidewalk on the road yeah for free yeah see this brute this is nice is this the one you usually use if um like all the stuff that we brought got out of the back here you wouldn't have believed pile we had out of here i made dirt out of it see yeah i made dirt out of it with this machine oh you just crunched it all up yeah and when you say like a fresh day to cut your grass you come outside and which mower are you gonna pick like what's your go to that rider mower back here looks deep in there yeah well because i just rearranged things today because i had all the bikes back there so i moved some stuff but i'll use that out back most of the time but out front i have i a a uh let me see what do i have do you just go eeny meeny miny now well no no i got one that's under the cover up front that's your baby yeah and it has a honda motor on it it's a honda the whole mower is a honda honda mower yeah real nice been using it for how long and you know what a guy did with that one put too much oil in it brand new mower they used it a year and they did something with the oil and they put too much oil on it and friends of mine down at the marina smith marina asked me if i wanted to mower i said yeah bring it over he says oh that's a mess it brought it over i couldn't believe this mower there was so much oil all over the place it was incredible well you know what he might have done is to put it on its side is that no no no he just overfilled it and they tell you do not overfill had it overfilled i took all the oil out of it cleaned it all up put the right amount of oil in it it's been running ever since beautiful really a nice machine a very nice machine this this this is a bear if i have something really rough i want to cut you know [Music] this is the baby you said well it's pretty good this is job's for wow that's it right there that's the bear guys you heard it here first the man himself so and that's it right there the bear it's a bear like next door had all stuff out there weeds and stuff bad wow and you just hit it with this i took that motor over there and just eased into whack yeah yeah pretty far same ball same everything like yours yeah see that that's a nice little one yeah it is i mean it's not a little deck but i'm saying it's small enough to actually push yeah see there's nothing that you push up no priming no nothing like that right you didn't see me doing it did you nope perfect little baby there it is that's your wife's favorite one huh yeah and what she uses when i run the big mower when i run the big mower then she does just that little strip that's fun right the joys of life mellowing the grass with your wife nothing better you got it the little things people don't realize that yeah so after picking up some of the bikes we decided hey we could just sell them right out of benny's house and if somebody wants them we'll throw them all in the trailer and deliver them so we posted an ad to facebook and sure enough a few hours later someone wanted the bikes so the next day we made plans to sell all 25 bikes all right picking up sammy j with the fresh root canal always fun going to the dentist but at least we live i would say maybe five five blocks away from the dentist office which is a plus but let's see her reaction to this she's not outside yet she said she was done just now though let's see i'm gonna pull around so that i can pull up out front pick her right up here she is with the fresher kinesi what happened you can't talk because it said no oh my god it was like sideways i just wanted to spit i was going to sit there but you can't even speak oh my gosh yo this guy jacked me up i was like what are you talking about wait you look like that it wasn't like this the last time and they did all this crazy stuff and and he gave me two x-rays which i didn't like and then right before i went in when i was in the waiting room a lady who had never been there because this is the dentist i've been going to she was like why do i have to get an x-ray for a teeth cleaning which i thought that was a valid question like but yeah but they gave me two in the process of this and i was like another one but he uh clearly numbed me up so he was the same guy there their insurance pays for the appointment so they pay for the x-rays every time they take an x-ray well that's what i told the lady i was like it's because maybe maybe so if they can squeeze in a couple extra 100 x-rays a day think about it it doesn't cause that i gotta go back for the crown there's another thing and i can guarantee you they're gonna take an x-ray is this fog together no but honestly it's not that bad but it's bad enough to make me think about how the wisdom teeth are gonna be and mine do i need three more root canals you're kidding guys look at my face oh my god three more root canisis you can't eat that because like you'll end up eating your whole mouth off did they tell you that no like don't eat anything for a little bit because like you might chew your gums apart your lip and one one root canal at a time just look at how many bikes this guy has just chilling here it's a burrito right honestly i feel like it's more contained than it used to be right way more no not even close he's his freaking tree and look at his edges all right so the story so far we have a legendary picker fixer upper lawnmower fixer guy that lives in our neighborhood and we call him the lawnmower man and he wanted to give us all of these bicycles she's gonna say hi to the wife because he wants to get rid of him and make room in his yard so i said okay we'll take the bikes so instead of scrapping them right off the bat decided to put them on facebook marketplace and this guy that owns a used bike shop in pleasantville wants to buy all the bikes for 200 bucks in total it's 25 bikes so we're loading the rest of them in the trailer i actually had gotten some yesterday and we're going to take them over to pleasantville so selling 25 bikes at once craziest thing i've ever done when it came when it comes to bicycles no it sounds like two bikes sure three bikes sure huh that's fine we can just [Music] so this is what 25 bikes looks like back of the truck craziness yeah well some guy wants to maybe buy them all so we'll see that's the plan right now thank you thank you so much appreciate it again i like your shirt is this what are those sandpipers so yeah i think we should put the one orange or yellow uh tie down on here maybe locked and loaded fight gang bike gang baby is it in the truck i think so yeah now where did i put it i guess on the other i think i'll side the best my mouth is just sideways it's definitely sideways it is yeah i can't like feel this how does your mouth feel numb i can't eat like solid sod stuff or i might like but yeah it's still sideways i can say it definitely damn but all right do we need use this to tie it and then or should we use this to tie it just around here so these all slide out yeah that's literally perfect because those aren't going just like that i guess [Music] all right i'll load it up 25 bikes i was gonna say in a funny way because my mouth is sideways but it's gone done lost opportunity [Music] all right so here the place is we just arrived i'm just gonna pull up right here because i'm not trying to pull into that tiny little thing right there all right let's see how this goes so this is a bike emporium here i'm assuming he's going to try to fix up the bikes and sell them as used bikes how are you [Music] freedom teddy bugs just walk in right yeah [Music] satisfies see [Music] dude [Applause] that's the bottom line this is the bottom number you got what 200 by far definitely the bottom here i mean i wasn't going to charge you a delivery or anything listen it's bulky in the season i mean some of them some of them are definitely like scrap but there's some decent bikes in there too i mean to be honest some guy that lives near us collected all these and he was gonna sell him and then his wife didn't want him in the yard so yeah all right so i did clarify with the guy do you definitely want the bikes because i don't want to load them and bring them if you don't want them so he said yeah we made it here he said he wants them which is cool and now we're just trying to figure out where he wants them because if we just unload all these bikes into the yard right here it might not be what he wants so we're waiting for the confirmation have you ever sold 25 bikes before at once who would do that we would only you ever i mean the cherry bike is a cool bike that's that was of ours that i added in the collection [Music] [Applause] all right last few there's still four in here five yeah put it on that side no way put this whoa boys it right heavy uh just awkward to get out of here and this one a truck that's one thing the truck tracky boy [Music] all right made the deal 200 richer cha-ching he said i can't argue with it and i was thinking for 25 bikes for 200 bucks no argument here i'll just take these right to the scrap yard oh watch this car jesus we must hit that car is a terrible street to be on now yeah this is a wild um although i didn't think that there even was a street when i looked at it before but successful mission now to go post some more stuff though because to be honest the dream never ends look at that all the bikes they're already bringing them in they know what they're doing yeah it was nice the kids they're probably just selling all this place again right now for this more all right just an example of how legendary the guy from the crate storage facility was we left our light there and he sent it to us in the mail from long island and we now have our light back so that is two gold what a legend yeah we're back home again and we're gonna chill for a minute all right the continuation of the remaining unboxings so this goes to the tray which is obviously been out of shape but it's still in pretty good condition and the tree is chipped sadly but still cool some christmas stuff this is pretty cool i know i probably should have just showed the entire t of the unboxing just in case we found something crazy but we didn't really find anything too crazy except for the potential all right that i thought was cool i don't know what it the maker of it is and also these disney little porcelain things they're not all disney but a lot of them are that one's broken that one's disney that one's disney this one's tigger but that's plastic actually and then e or and the rest are just like dollar store rabbits oh piglet two didn't make it and tigger's broken sadly there's the tigger but yeah those were cool i thought and then going in the backyard all right so moving along here we found another whole half tote of beanie babies with tags i was looking up this one it looks like it could have some value dell computer that's like 20 bucks if it sells at all and then this is the tree i was talking about as you can see it has chips and missing bulbs but either way it's still probably 20 30 even in that condition and that's it that's i just wanted to keep you guys in the loop that we i finished all the containers that we got from the auction scores my bad there's this box too which is a lot of christmas stuff silverware and stuff like that more christmas little things christmas and this thing what is this what no way this is freaky no way no way you can move his eyes he's looking at you kid he's looking at you kid it's weird because that's probably the find of the uh potentially the finder the whole entire thing i feel like i might have to scare sammy with this that's crazy that thing's really weird so i hope you guys enjoyed just the unboxing of all the items i know it's kind of boring to some people but it's exciting too to see what you can find and as i said before we paid just a hundred dollars for everything so that was the two crates and all the furniture um we made out really well on that auction and actually the guy who owns the place he sent me my light back from long island to here said we should come back there when the auction's not going on in like a couple weeks a month and we can go pick two crates or he'll have two crates ready for us go into the crates and load up again and he said we can just take it see if we can sell it and uh the neighbor but yeah he was saying that he wants really badly to clear out that warehouse because they want to start renting the units again to other people that are actually going to pay so he wants to give us two more crates for free basically or a little bit of money not much so we're probably going to do that deal so stay tuned in the future for something like that because i think it's going to go down but until then see you guys keep pushing everyone and i know that the channel is varied lots of different kinds of content on the channel recently especially but we've been trying to diversify our channel we don't want to ever just be stuck doing the same exact thing every video and i know a lot of people like the picking videos a lot so we're not going to stop doing that ever we're just going to mix it in with other types of videos and since the very beginning i didn't want to get stuck in a box on youtube so this is my way of saying i'm not conforming to just doing the same videos over and over and over again uh even if it gets more views i think in the long run people will stay and watch content every time you upload if they really like your specific style and um you as a person so grateful for all all the subscribers and viewers who watch every day and watch every video it does really mean a lot to us and it's been able to for us to grow legs and kind of start doing more projects and videos that we really want to do so thank you all peace everyone see you in the next one [Music] [Music] you
