MOTORCYCLE EXPERT. IF I DON'T SEE
A MOTORCYCLE, A CAR, A FOUR-WHEELER,

THERE'S A LITTLE TAG, AND IT'S GOT BAR CODES ON IT. THIS IS ACTUALLY
RENTAL FURNITURE. - WE'RE IN. RENTAL FURNITURE

MONEY FOR US, BECAUSE IT'S CARED FOR. BUT HOPEFULLY, THESE

SEE THAT RIP IN THERE? - HE DIDN'T LOOK.
- VICTOR IS AN OUT-OF-TOWNER. HE'S FROM "NEW YAWK." I FIND HIS COMPANY
VERY IRRITATING. VERY AGITATING. VERY NAUSEATING.
[laughing] - ALL RIGHT, BUS DRIVER,
GET ON THE BUS--LET'S GO. IT'S JUST TOO HOT OUT HERE

FOCUSED ON IT. AND I THINK VICTOR'S GOT WHAT WE CALL THE BIG EYE
ON SOMETHING, AND HE'S FOCUSED ON IT, AND HE'LL PAY
JUST ABOUT ANYTHING FOR IT. SO BUBBA'S GOT
A LITTLE TRICK THAT HE DOES. - GOT MY PHONE OUT,
ACTING LIKE I'M LOOKING UP THIS BIKE. THERE'S NOTHING ON MY PHONE.
I'M CHECKING MY EMAIL. - MODERN TECHNOLOGY'S

- BOOYAH, THAT'S MINE. - $1,600, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. - ROCK AND ROLL.
- ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU, VICTOR. - THAT'S THE DUMB PURCHASE
OF THE DAY. [laughing] - THAT'S THE WAY IT'S DONE! [grinding] - SOMETHIN' FOR EVERYONE! - ANOTHER ROOM
FULL OF NOTHIN'. THE DRESSER DOESN'T
LOOK TOO BAD, THOUGH. I JUST HAPPEN TO SEE
THE CORNER OF A BOX BEHIND THAT DRESSER. YOU GOTTA LOOK
FOR THAT STUFF, OTHERWISE, THE REDNECKS
SWOOP IN AND GET IT. - WHAT DO YOU THINK, BUB? - I THINK THE ONLY THING IN
THERE IS A DRESSER AND MIRROR. - YOU KNOW, I LIVE IN TEXAS, AND I LIVE
IN LAMPASAS, TEXAS, AND YOU REALLY THINK I CAN
SELL THAT OBAMA POSTER? - I SEE A NICE DRESSER. YEAH, THAT WOULD BE
A REAL NICE ONE IN OUR STORE. - IT'S A NICE DRESSER,
AND IT'S GOT THE MIRROR TOO. - THAT'D MAKE US
A LITTLE BIT OF MONEY. - WHAT ARE YOU THINKIN'?
- YEAH! - HAVE 50.
NOW 75. GONNA GIVE 75.

NOW 30, WE DID 130. 30, NOW 40, LESA.
40, 40, 40. NOW 50, WE'RE GONNA GET 50, SIR. YEAH, 50, 150.
WE NEED 150! SELL IT, LESA, YOUR WAY.
$140, LESA. $140. - YEAH, LOOK AT THIS. OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S A BEAUTIFUL DRESSER. - WITHOUT SOUNDING TOO COCKY, I MADE A GREAT BUY
WITH THIS UNIT. KNOWING WHAT I KNOW
ABOUT SCOOTERS, I THINK $1,600
IS A GOOD PRICE. BUT THE SCOOTER WASN'T
THE ONLY THING IN THERE. OH, THIS IS ALL
THE POOL STUFF IN HERE. FILTER AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
NOT MUCH. MAYBE $100. DOORS AIN'T BAD. MAYBE SOMEBODY
CAN USE THOSE DOORS. AH, RIGHT OVER HERE,
THIS IS THE OLD NORDICTRACK. THIS IS A BOAT ANCHOR. THE POOL AND THE DOORS MIGHT GET ME
A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS BACK, BUT WE ALL KNOW WHY
I BOUGHT THIS UNIT. TWO MILES ON IT. THIS BABY'S BRAND-NEW. AND YOU SEE, IT STILL HAS
THE CELLOPHANE COVERING. RED LINE STARTS AT 80. THIS IS EASILY
70-MILE-PER-HOUR MACHINE. FOR 1,600 ON A UNIT,
IT'S WELL WORTH IT. AT THE DEALER, THIS IS PROBABLY
A $3,000 MACHINE. NO KEY, NO BATTERY. BUT IF IT'S WORTH
WHAT I THINK IT'S WORTH, IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. I'M GONNA RIDE THIS THING
RIGHT HOME. WHEE! HEY, IT WORKS! - JERRY AND I ARE HEADED BACK TO
THE LOCKER WITH THE DRESSER. NOW, MY PROBLEM IS
THAT DRESSER MIGHT BE A LITTLE TOO NICE, AND IT MIGHT END UP
IN MY BEDROOM. ALL RIGHT. LET'S PULL
SOME OF THESE OUT. OH, THERE'S A PRETTY MIRROR. LOOK AT THAT MIRROR.
THAT'LL SELL GOOD. THAT LOOKS LIKE
A 30-BUCK MIRROR. - YEAH, THAT'S
A NICE MIRROR THERE. - OH, LOOK AT THIS.
- WHAT IS THAT? - LITTLE RATTLESNAKE. MIGHT BITE YOU.
[laughs] I LIKE THAT. - WOW.
- OH, WOW. - THAT IS NICE.
- IT'S BEAUTIFUL. - YES, MA'AM. - THIS IS SOME GOOD STUFF
RIGHT HERE. - YEAH. - EMPTY. OOP... WE GOT... DOES IT FIT? - YOU'RE MAKING ME SWEAT, SITTING THERE
WITH THAT HAT ON. - I LIKE THAT DRESSER. IT MIGHT GO IN MY HOUSE. - WHAT WOULD BE BEST,
THE SHOP OR YOUR HOUSE? - MY HOUSE. OKAY, TO PAY THE BILLS,
THE SHOP. - OKAY.
- OKAY? SO I GOT ABOUT 250 HERE. - I JUST HOPE
SHE DON'T KEEP THE DRESSER. [chuckles]
DON'T KEEP IT. THAT'S GONNA MAKE THE MONEY
RIGHT THERE. - THERE IT IS. WOW. JERRY, WHAT KIND
OF BOOTS ARE THESE? - SNAKESKIN. - RATTLESNAKE BOOTS,
SO COOL. OH, MY GO--
OH, MY GOD! LOOK INSIDE THERE,
JERRY. - OH, [bleep]!
- [laughs] - OH, [bleep]! - [laughs] OOH! THAT'S SCARY. - MIGHT BE A WRISTBAND. WHAT YOU THINK? - NO, IT'S NOT
A WRISTBAND. - YOU CAN'T WEAR IT
AROUND YOUR WRI--OH. - THAT'S THE UGLIEST THING
I'VE EVER SEEN. BUT...YOU KNOW WHAT... I BET YOU... I BET YOU THIS IS
THE BAND FOR IT. OH, MY GOD. - WHY DON'T YOU
PUT IT ON THE HAT. - DON'T BREAK IT. OH, MY GOSH. OH, WOW. I DON'T LIKE IT!
[laughs] I THINK WE NEED TO GO
TO AN EXPERT ON THIS ONE. - SHE'S NOT AN EXPERT,
AND I DON'T WEAR COWBOY BOOTS, SO I KNOW I AIN'T
NO EXPERT. - I MEAN, I'VE SEEN BOOTS GO
FROM 5 TO $1,000. - I DON'T THINK
I WOULD WEAR IT. - OH, YEAH.
THIS IS REALLY NICE, BUBBA. WELL, ME AND BUBBA ARE BACK
OVER HERE AT THIS UNIT WE PAID $475 FOR. THIS WAS THE FIND
OF THE DAY. - PUT THAT OVER TO THE SIDE. - BUB, I'M THINKING ABOUT
75 ON THESE LAMPS. COFFEE AND END TABLE SET.
- YEAH, THESE ARE NICE. I'M THINKING 200 THE SET,
AT LEAST. - ALL RIGHT. THEY THOUGHT
WE WERE COUNTRY BUMPKINS COME TO TOWN, AND WE BUY
THE BEST UNIT RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER 'EM--
THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW. - UH-OH, HERE'S OUR
FAVORITE STUFF. - WHAT IN THE WORLD
WE GOT THERE? BUBBLE WRAP. - I LOVE BUBBLE WRAP. BUT I'M AFRAID I DON'T KNOW
IF THERE'S ANYTHING IN HERE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IN THE HELL--
- THAT'S A CANUTER VALVE. - IF IT'S WRAPPED LIKE THAT,
IT'S SOMETHING. THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
- MAY BE GOLD. HERE'S A BAG OF CLOTHES
WE GOT HERE. THROW THAT UP THERE. STILL GOT THE TAGS ON IT.
- PUSH THAT RECLINER IN. - RICKY, WE GOT
YOUR NUMBER ONE PICTURE. - JC AND THE BOYS.
THERE THEY ARE. - JC AND THE BOYS EATING LUNCH.
- THERE YOU GO. - HERE'S A WHOLE STACK OF THOSE.
100 BUCKS. - HEY, BUBBA.
- WHAT? - LOOKY HERE
WHAT I DONE FOUND. - HEY, BUBBA.
- WHAT? - LOOKY HERE
WHAT I DONE FOUND. - WHAT DOES THAT DO? - KIND OF A BLIMP
OR SOMETHING. OPEN IT UP.
- WAIT, WAIT, IT SAYS SOMETHING. - WHAT DOES IT SAY? - "GAFFORD ZEPPELIN." - YEAH. WOW. - I NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE THAT. - HEY, CALEB, BRING ME
THAT PIECE THAT WE-- - RICKY, THIS IS SILVER. - IT'S SILVER?
- LOOK AT IT. - SURE IS.
- THAT'S SILVER. SEE IF THAT GOES
INTO THAT. - I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW BUBBLE WRAP. - DOES THIS FIT INSIDE THERE? THAT GOES IN THERE, RICKY.
BUT WHAT IS THAT? - I DON'T KNOW. - A LITTLE MINIATURE ASHTRAY?
- I GUESS. WE'VE ALREADY DOUBLED OUR MONEY
ON THIS LOCKER, SO WHATEVER THE ZEPPELIN'S WORTH
IS GONNA BE THE GRAVY TRAIN. CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN
WHY WE DO THIS? - TO FIND THAT LITTLE
SILVER ZEPPELIN, THAT'S WHY WE DO IT.
- THAT'S WHY WE DO. - JERRY AND I ARE GONNA TAKE
ALL THE RATTLESNAKE STUFF THAT WE FOUND
TO A BOOT SPECIALIST. BE CAREFUL WITH THAT. - TAKE A PEEK
AT EVERYTHING. OH, YEAH.
GOOD-LOOKIN' PAIR OF BOOTS. NICE BUCKLE. AND A HATBAND. YES. I DON'T LIKE GRABBING THAT
OUT OF THERE. UH, DAN POST SNAKESKIN BOOT.
GREAT SHAPE. THE THING TO REMEMBER IS
THE SNAKESKIN IS VERY DELICATE. YOU GOTTA KEEP IT CONDITIONED
AND MOISTURIZED. - JUST LIKE MY SKIN. - BUCKLE WITH THE HEAD
INLAID ON IT. WATCH THE EYE. IT FOLLOWS YOU
EVERYWHERE YOU GO. - WOW.
- SNAKES... I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH 'EM. - THE HATBAND
WITH VENOM ON THE FANGS. - CAN YOU GIVE ME
A LITTLE PRICE ON THESE? EACH ONE OF THESE ITEMS. - THE BOOTS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE.
- OKAY. - UNFORTUNATELY,
IN TODAY'S MARKET, WITH THE RATTLESNAKE NOT BEING
AS POPULAR AS IT ONCE WAS... - YEAH. - I WOULD SAY THE BOOT
IS 250. - WELL, THAT'S NOT BAD.
- NO, MA'AM, NOT AT ALL. - $250 BOOT?
MY GOD. - THE HATBAND--THERE'S YOUR
NOVELTY PIECES RIGHT HERE. I'M GONNA SAY
THE HATBAND, 125. I'D SAY THE BUCKLE, $100.
- WOW. WE ACTUALLY DID WELL.
- YOU DID VERY GOOD. - WE DID WELL.
- YOU DID VERY GOOD. - I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. MISS LESA ACTUALLY KNEW
WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT. THANK YOU.
- YOU HAVE A GOOD DAY. - YES, MA'AM.
THANK Y'ALL. - NOT ONLY DID I FIND
A GREAT DRESSER, THAT RATTLESNAKE STUFF,
THAT'S $475 IN MY POCKET. I THINK THAT WAS
A DAMN GOOD DEAL. - RIGHT? - YOU WOULD WEAR BOOTS NOW?
- OOH, YEAH. - OH, YEAH!
[laughter] - I'M BRINGING MY SCOOTER TO CUSTOM-BIKE LEGEND
RICK FAIRLESS. - BRING HER ON IN THERE. - WELL, THIS IS WHAT
I WANT YOU TO LOOK AT. WHAT DO YOU THINK? - WELL, LET ME LOOK AT IT
FOR A SECOND. - IT'S LIKE MY BARN FIND.
- YEAH? I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE OF THESE
IN A WHILE. - OKAY. WELL, OFF THE BAT,
HE'S FAMILIAR WITH THIS BIKE. THAT'S A GOOD SIGN. - BASICALLY, VIC,
THIS THING IS BUILT FOR COLLEGE KIDS.
- OKAY. - IT'S A CHINESE-MANUFACTURED
SCOOTER. - SO HE'S TELLING ME THE CHINESE
MASS PRODUCED THESE THINGS, AND THEY ALL LOOK ALIKE. THE SCOOTERS,
NOT THE PEOPLE. - THE PROBLEM IS,
AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU'VE GOT A BUSTED LEVER HERE.
- YEAH. - YOU'RE MISSING SOME
RUNNING BOARDS ON BOTH SIDES. - MM-HMM.
- IT'S GOT SOME DAMAGE TO IT ON BOTH SIDES.
- MM-HMM. SO HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK
IT'S WORTH? - IF IT RUNS, 300 BUCKS. - I DON'T KNOW IF IT RUNS.
I DON'T HAVE THE KEY FOR IT. - IF YOU DON'T HAVE A KEY
FOR IT, IT DOESN'T RUN, IT'S NOT WORTH ANYTHING. YOU DON'T HAVE A KEY TO IT? - I DON'T HAVE THE KEY.
I DIDN'T GET NOTHING WITH IT. - SO YOU BOUGHT IT
WITHOUT A KEY. YOU PAID MORE THAN
300 BUCKS FOR IT? WELL, YOU GOT TAKEN
TO THE CLEANERS, PAL. IT'S A CHINESE SCOOTER. THEY MAKE 50 MILLION
OF THESE THINGS. IT'S LIKE A DISPOSABLE
CIGARETTE LIGHTER. IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO VALUE
IF IT DOESN'T RUN. - WELL, YOU KNOW, I THOUGHT
I HAD A GOLD MINE HERE. I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH,
LIKE, $2,000 HERE. OR AT LEAST BREAK EVEN
FOR WHAT I GOT ON THERE. NOT ONLY DID I LOSE
1,500 BUCKS... THANKS A LOT, BROTHER.
- YOU BET. - BUT I MANAGED TO LOOK
LIKE A COMPLETE ASS IN FRONT OF THE TEXAS
MOTORCYCLE GURU. THANKS. GOD,
I OVERPAID FOR THAT UNIT. - THIS IT? - LULA B's.
THIS IS IT. - BUBBA AND I ARE BRINGING
THIS SILVER ZEPPELIN TO A COUPLE OF GUYS THAT
SPECIALIZE IN RARE COLLECTIBLES. - LET'S GO FIND OUT
WHAT THIS THING IS WORTH. BETTER YET, LET'S FIND OUT
WHAT THIS THING IS. - YEAH. - HI. HOW ARE Y'ALL?
- WE'RE GOOD. WE'RE THE ONES THAT
CALLED YOU ABOUT THE ZEPPELIN. - LET'S SEE WHAT
YOU HAVE HERE. OH, WOW. - THESE GUYS LOOK
AS IMPRESSED AS WE WERE. - AND THIS IS LIKE
A LITTLE INSERT OR SOMETHING. - YEAH, THAT WOULD BE-- - WE WERE THINKING THAT'S, LIKE,
THE ASHTRAY, RIGHT? - ACTUALLY, THIS IS THE PART
THAT GOES INTO THE INKWELL. - I THOUGHT IT WAS
AN ASHTRAY. - [laughs]
- NO. - IT'S DEFINITELY
AN INKWELL. - MM-HMM.
- OH, LOOK AT THE DETAIL HERE. LOOK AT THE...
- THEN ENGRAVING? - MM-HMM.
- IT'S VERY EXQUISITE. - THESE WERE USED FOR-- THEY'RE CALLED
DIP-AND-WRITE PENS. THEY'RE THE SAME THING THAT
THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WAS SIGNED WITH. AND THEY WERE THE ONLY TYPE
OF PEN USED UNTIL THE FOUNTAIN PEN
WAS INVENTED. AROUND 1900.
RIGHT BEFORE THAT. - THE MAIN REASON WE'RE HERE
IS WHAT IT IS, AND THE VALUE OF IT. I'M GETTING THE FEELING
THAT THIS INKWELL'S WORTH A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS. - WELL, IT'S OLD
AND IT'S UNUSUAL. - YES. - AND IT'S FAIRLY VALUABLE. - THAT'S WHAT WE WANT
TO HEAR RIGHT THERE. - IT'S VERY,
VERY COLLECTIBLE AND UNUSUAL. IT'S PROBABLY WORTH,
RIGHT NOW, LIKE IT IS, AROUND... $7,000. -<i> THOUSAND?</i>
- THOUSAND 7,000. - HOLY [bleep]. - 7,000...
- THAT'S LIKE A CAR. - WOW.
- I'M HAPPY. - THAT'S WHY WE DO
WHAT WE DO, BUB. [laughter] OH, MY LORD.
- EVERYTHING IN THERE HAS ALREADY MADE MONEY.
- RIGHT. - WELL, IT SOUNDS LIKE Y'ALL
HAVE MADE A PRETTY GOOD HAUL. - THAT WAS A GOOD LICK.
- THAT WAS A GOOD LICK. THIS IS ALL GRAVY
BONUS MONEY TO US. - $7,000 OF GRAVY. I GUESS US COUNTRY BOYS
GOT THE BEST OF 'EM THIS TIME, DIDN'T WE? - ALL RIGHT.
- ALL RIGHT. - APPRECIATE IT, GUYS.
- THANKS A LOT. - THE ARLINGTON WINNER
WAS RICKY AND BUBBA, BANKING 7,600 BUCKS
ON THEIR ZEPPELIN INKWELL. LESA LEWIS FOUND
A $600 PROFIT IN HER RATTLESNAKE GEAR WHILE VICTOR RJESNJENSKY
BUSTED ON HIS MOTOR SCOOTER AND SCORED A STERN
TALKING TO. HEY, WHAT ABOUT MOE? - THIS IS THE UNIT I GOT BECAUSE IT HAD A LOT
OF WOOD IN IT. I'M GLAD THERE'S SOMEONE
BESIDES ME THAT LOVES WOOD. THIS IS 48 INCHES. THIS WOOD HAS SEEN
A LOT OF PARTYING. THIS IS REALLY A GOOD
POOLSIDE PIECE THAT WILL SELL IN TEXAS, SIMPLY BECAUSE
IT IS A WOOD STATE. WE LOVE WOOD HERE. I THINK THE TIGHTER-GRAINS
PROBABLY ARE BETTER, IF YOU'RE ANAL, LIKE ME. I WOULD CALL THIS
VERY WARM WOOD. [sniffs] YOU GO UP TO WOOD,
AND YOU CAN SMELL IF IT WAS IN A SMOKER'S HOUSE. THAT'S ONE OF THE FALLACIES
ABOUT WOOD. [doors echo]
