THIS PAYS OFF. - UM, I WANT--
- WANTED TO BEAT ME UP TODAY. - YOU THINK ANYBODY--
- HE CAME DOWN HERE, HE SAID,
"VIC'S GOING TO BE THERE." HE DOESN'T KNOW WHO I AM.
I STILL DON'T KNOW WHO HE IS. RICH ROOKIES IN THIS BUSINESS
ARE LIKE BABIES WITH HANDGUNS. YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM OUT
BEFORE THEY TAKE YOU OUT. - EVERYBODY'S WORRIED
ABOUT YOU, VIC. YOU NEED TO GAIN SOME WEIGHT
BEFORE YOU TALK NOISE TO ME, 'CAUSE YOU'LL GET HURT.
[laughter] all: OH! - ACTUALLY,
SOMETHING CLASSIC--OH! CHECK OUT<i>
MIKE TYSON PUNCH-OUT!</i> CALM DOWN. - I DON'T CARE FOR THE OLD TV,
BUT I THINK WE CAN DO 200 TO 300
ON THIS UNIT. - THE PLAN WAS
TO FILL OUR SHELVES, NOT BUY MORE SHELVES. - WELL, THAT'S A LATE MODEL
PAINT SPRAYER. THIS OTHER FURNITURE IS CHEAP. IT'S JUST BASIC.
THIS IS NOT FOR ME. NOTHING UNUSUAL
OR ECCENTRIC. - LOTS OF PAINTINGS.
LOOK AT THAT. AND THEY'RE RIPPED.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? - LATER ON, WE'LL SEE
WHAT'S IN THERE. - ALL RIGHT, I THINK I WILL. IN THE PAST,
I FOUND PLENTY OF STUFF IN THE BACKS OF PAINTINGS. THOSE RIPS ARE A GOOD SIGN. OH, YOU WANT THIS ONE TOO, HUH? - I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT. - YOU WANT THIS
BECAUSE YOU KNOW I WANT IT. - DO YOU?
- ALL RIGHT. WHAT AM I BID HERE?
100? 100. NOW 150.
- NOW. - NOW 200.
WENT THERE QUICK. THAT MAKES IT 200.
NOW 250. - YEAH.

TODAY'S AUCTION. - 83 DEGREES IN HERE. - IT'S TIME TO LOAD UP THE
MYSTERY UNIT I BOUGHT FOR 850. MAN, I STILL NEED
SOME HELP PRICING. SO RICKY AND BUBBA
WERE COOL ENOUGH TO HELP ME OUT. LET'S DIG IN. - RICKY AND I DIDN'T BUY TODAY, SO WE GOT SOME TIME
TO HELP ROY. - THIS LOOKS LIKE
SOME KIND OF A-- - VACUUM.
- BEWARE OF THAT, BUBBA. - IT'S PROBABLY HIGH-END.
- I BET IT REALLY SUCKS. - YOU SAY IT SUCKS?
- I HOPE SO, IT'S A VACUUM. - [laughs]
WHATEVER. THESE GUYS ARE TOO MUCH, MAN. - IS THAT A MONITOR OR A TV?
- IT'S A TV. HAS A DVD PLAYER TOO. - I KNOW ROY BOUGHT THIS UNIT
BECAUSE OF THE FLAT-SCREEN. BUT IT'S ONLY 75 BUCKS.
WELL, HE'S REALLY SHOWING HIS ROOKIE COLORS. - GOT A STEREO.
WE GOT SOME BINOCULARS. WE GOT ANOTHER STEREO SYSTEM.
- WELL, WELL. - THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH
OF APPLIANCES. - IT'S NOT A BAD LOCKER,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DIG DEEP
TO FIND ROY A PROFIT. - THE "MULBERRY" COUCHES
COULD GO FOR 200. - MIGHT BE A BODY... JUST WRAPPED UP. - I DON'T KNOW.
- IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING. IT MIGHT BE A FLAT-SCREEN TV. - IT'S PRETTY HEAVY.
- [indistinct] WHAT? - LET'S CHECK IT OUT. - THERE'S ANOTHER BOX. - IT'S A TENT.
THE TENT ISN'T NO GRAVY TRAIN. OH, MY GOSH. I'M STARTING
TO SOUND LIKE RICKY. - IT'S A DARKROOM, ROY.
IT'S NOT A TENT. IT'S BRAND-NEW.
- IT IS BRAND-NEW. IT'S STILL--
STILL IN IT'S PACKAGE. - I MEAN, EVERYTHING--
ALL THE POLES--EVERYTHING. - LET'S FIND AN APPRAISER,
AND SEE WHAT WE CAN GET FOR IT. - SOUNDS GOOD.
- SINCE BUBBA AND I ARE GOING HOME
EMPTY-HANDED TODAY, I'M GOING TO TRY TO HELP ROY
FIND OUT ABOUT THAT DARKROOM, AND GET IT LOOKED AT. - IF THAT'S WORTH
ANYTHING AT ALL, ROY COULD REALLY CLEAN UP
ON THIS UNIT. - YEAH, HERE THEY ARE.
- HURRY UP, I CAN'T SEE. - SORRY.
BACK AT THE UNIT THAT I BOUGHT FOR $275. MY HUSBAND'S COMING IN TODAY,
SO THIS IS GOING TO BE QUICK. YAY. I'M GOING TO GO GET A DOLLY. YOU START UNLOADING. I'LL HURRY.
JUST KEEP UNLOADING. HERE I COME, JERRY! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?
I'M IN A HURRY, MAN. WHAT IS IT?
- A BOX. [laughs]
YOU BOUGHT A BOX. WAIT TILL YOU TURN THAT AROUND.
YOU'RE GOING TO SCREAM. YOU HAVE NO FRONT. - WHAT KIND OF GOLF CLUBS
ARE THESE? - THEY MORE "THROW-AWAY"
THAN THEY IS CALLAWAY. - SERIOUS, THIS IS
A BUMMER OF A LOCKER. - I TOLD HER TO PEEK BEHIND
THE PICTURES, NOT RIP THEM APART. - THAT'S A VINTAGE POSTER. NOTHING BACK HERE.
THAT'S ANOTHER VINTAGE PO-- THESE ARE ACTUALLY
REALLY COOL PICTURES. NOTHING. HMM. THIS IS PRETTY OLD--
1963. - SHE COULD HAVE
JUST TURNED THE FRAME OVER. - JOHN F. KENNEDY
"WANTED FOR TREASON"? "THIS MAN IS WANTED
FOR TREASONOUS ACTIVITIES AGAINST THE UNITED STATES." THIS FEELS REAL, HUH? WONDER IF THIS IS AUTHENTIC? I DON'T KNOW
MUCH ABOUT POLITICS, BUT THIS COULD BE BIG. I GOT TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT. - MISS LESA AIN'T NO EINSTEIN, BUT SHE MIGHT HAVE DONE
PRETTY GOOD WITH THIS JFK. - EVERYBODY WAS RAZZING ME
THAT THIS WAS TOO MUCH, BUT IT ENDED UP BEING
THE BEST ROOM OF THE DAY. I'M BACK AT THE UNIT
I BOUGHT FOR $175. - THIS IS WHAT REALLY
I SPOTTED. WELL... IT'S A LITTLE BIT IN DISREPAIR. I DON'T KNOW,
MAYBE $10 OR $20 ON THAT. THAT'S DISAPPOINTING. THIS IS A REAL,
OLD ANTIQUE CHANDELIER-- EASILY A HUNDRED-DOLLAR PIECE. HERE'S SOMETHING
THAT WE COULDN'T REALLY SEE. AND IT IS LOCKED. MAYBE THE LOCK ITSELF-- IT DEFINITELY
IS AN OLDER-STYLE LOCK. I HATE TO BREAK IT...
TO GET IT OFF, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING...
[clunk] THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE.
[clunk] [sighs] LET ME SEE,
MAYBE WE GET LUCKY AND FIND... FIND SOMETHING...
[jingling, clanking] LAYING AROUND FOR IT. LIKE A WHOLE BUNCH OF KEYS. HUH.
[jingle] LET'S SEE.
NOPE. NOPE. COLLECTORS PAY
LIKE 50 BUCKS FOR THESE KIND OF LOCKS. I REALLY DON'T WANT TO BREAK IT. THE KEY'S GOT TO BE HERE.
LET'S SEE. [clank] HE JUST HAS KEYS EVERYWHERE, BUT THAT'S NOT FOR THAT. [jingle]
"VO-LAY"! "VO-LAY" SOUNDS BETTER
THAN VOILA. NOW WE'RE TALKING. VOILA KIND OF SUCKS. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE THAT ONE.
NO, THESE ARE TOO BIG. YOU DON'T HAVE
THIS OLD, FANCY LOCK LIKE THIS AND LOCK UP A CHEST WITH NOTHING IN IT.
THIS IS NUTS! THIS GUY
MUST HAVE COLLECTED KEYS. THERE'S SOMETHING IN THERE, I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING
IN THERE. I'M GOING CROSS-EYED
LOOKING AT THIS LOCK. I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO IT. CHINA. AND THIS IS VERY, VERY THIN. THE MORE THIN AND DAINTY IT IS,
THE MORE MONEY IT'S WORTH. THIS CHINA'S NICE. IF I CAN FIND
THE REST OF THE SET, I'VE REALLY GOT SOMETHING HERE. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8,
9, 10, 11, 12. IT'S A 12-PIECE SETTING.
IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE SET. PRISTINE CONDITION.
EASILY 400 BUCKS, MAYBE MORE. AND HERE WE GO GET LUCKY AGAIN. [grinding] IT'S ALL WOOD.
THIS IS EASILY A $200-, $300-PIECE. I'M GLAD I'M SEEING SOME MONEY, BUT I GOT TO KNOW
WHAT'S IN THE BOX. MORE KEYS. THE LAST SET OF KEYS. MOMENT OF TRUTH. - MOMENT OF TRUTH. AH. [clicking, jingling] ALL RIGHT,
THIS IS IT. [sighs] AH. "VO-LAY"! A FREAKING COFFEE CUP. WAIT A SECOND. PRETTY NICE COLLECTION OF KEYS. I SAY EASILY, WITH THE LOCK,
WE GOT 200 BUCKS FOR THIS AS A DECORATED PIECE
WITH A LOCK. I MEAN, IT'S--
IT'S REALLY NICE. ALL SAID AND DONE,
SOME NICE ANTIQUES-- THE CHINA, THE TRUNK,
THE KEYS. NOT BAD FOR 175. - THIS IS IT. - I FOUND THIS
DARKROOM TENT THING. SO WE'RE HERE AT D2 STUDIOS TO GET THE LOWDOWN.
- HI. - HOW'S IT GOING?
- GOOD. - THIS IS A PHOTO PLACE
RICKY AND I KNOW. WE'LL SEE IF THIS PUTS ROY
IN THE BLACK. COME ON!
YOU KNEW WHAT I MEANT. - LET'S PUT IT OUT THERE
IN THE MIDDLE, AND... - JUST RIGHT HERE?
- PUT IT TOGETHER. - I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT THIS IS. - IT IS FOR TRADITIONALISTS
THAT SHOOT FILM. 'CAUSE IT GIVES YOU
A DARK PLACE TO LOAD FILM. - DO YOU HAVE ONE OF THESE?
- I DON'T HAVE ONE. I WENT ALL DIGITAL
A FEW YEARS BACK. - OFF THE BAT,
THIS THING SEEMS OBSOLETE. THIS MIGHT BE A BIG NEGATRON
FOR ROY. - LET'S TRY TO PUT THIS
TOGETHER, IF YOU DON'T MIND. YOU WANT TO TRY TO SET IT UP?
- YEAH, LET'S DO THAT. - ROY, LOOK HOW MANY POLES
ARE IN THERE, DUDE. - WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY,
RIGHT NOW? - I'M SAYING THERE'S NO WAY
IN HELL WE'RE GONNA
PUT THIS TOGETHER. - OH, YES, WE ARE.
- JEEZ, LOUISE. THERE'S ENOUGH CANOODLE VALVES
IN HERE, WE NEED A ROCKET SCIENTIST
TO PUT THIS TOGETHER. THIS IS BIGGER.
THIS IS A JOINT. - ALL WE NEED IS SOME DUCT TAPE. - WATCH IT.
[clanking on floor] - AIN'T GOING TO WORK. THERE'S LIKE 200 PIECES
IN THIS THING. - I GUESS READ THIS.
IT SAYS, "ASSEMBLES IN A FEW MINUTES." - BUBBA, WE'RE FALLING APART. - THIS IS GREAT! - NO, IT'S GOT TO GO UNDER. - ALL RIGHT, WE'RE MAKING
PROGRESS THOUGH. - HOW ARE WE DOING? - MAN, I KNOW I'M GOING
TO OWE THEM BIG FOR THIS ONE. - OH, THERE WE GO. - THAT'S A PRETTY NICE SETUP,
GUYS. - YEAH, IT IS.
JUST A FEW MINUTES, AND ONE GUY... WITH 37 ARMS. ALL RIGHT, WHAT'S
THIS DAMN SPACESHIP WORTH? - ALL THE PIECES ARE HERE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT WE CAN GET FOR THIS UNIT? - I WOULD SAY... IT'S WORTH AROUND $800 OR $900. - SHOOT! THAT'S AWESOME. SWEET. - THAT PORTABLE DARKROOM
IS A GRAVY TRAIN. I'M IMPRESSED. - NOW Y'ALL PUT IT AWAY.
- AW, MAN. RICHARD, YOU GOT IT.
- NO, I'M OUT OF HERE. - I CALLED THIS GUY,
SO HE'S WAITING FOR US. THERE'S GOT TO BE A GOOD STORY
BEHIND THIS JFK CLIPPING. SO WE'RE HERE AT THE
SIXTH FLOOR MUSEUM IN DALLAS. HI.
- GOOD MORNING. - HOW ARE YOU DOING?
- GOOD. NICE TO MEET YOU. - THIS MUSEUM CHRONICLES
THE ASSASSINATION AND THE LEGACY OF JFK. - THESE ARE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE KENNEDY MOTORCADE
THROUGH DOWNTOWN. ABOUT 200,000 PEOPLE TURNED OUT
TO GREET THE PRESIDENT ON HIS WAY
THROUGH DOWNTOWN DALLAS. THIS IS THE SNIPER'S PERCH. LEE HARVEY OSWALD
CROUCHED RIGHT THERE. FIRED THE THREE SHOTS
DURING THE ASSASSINATION WHICH KILLED PRESIDENT KENNEDY.
- WOW. I WAS A LITTLE GIRL
WHEN JFK WAS KILLED. I REMEMBER
HOW DEVASTATING IT WAS. - THE "X" REPRESENTS
THE APPROXIMATE SPOT WHERE THE FATAL SHOT STRUCK
THE PRESIDENT IN THE HEAD. - WOW, REALLY. - I LIVED IN TEXAS
MY WHOLE LIFE. YOU SEE THIS STUFF ON TV, BUT SEEING IT IN PERSON
IS A WHOLE DIFFERENT STORY. - HERE ARE SOME OF THE MORE
POPULAR CONSPIRACY THEORIES ABOUT THE ASSASSINATION.
- LOOK, JERRY. THAT'S WHAT WE'VE GOT. - THIS IS WARREN COMMISSION
EXHIBIT NUMBER 996. AND IT WAS A RIGHT-WING FLYER THAT WAS DISTRIBUTED
AROUND DALLAS IN THE DAYS PRECEDING
THE ASSASSINATION. - MISS LESA COULD HAVE DONE GOOD
WITH THIS JFK. - HERE IS THE HANDBILL
THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COLLECTION. LET'S SEE HERE. LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE MADE
FROM THE SAME KIND OF PAPER. DODGER STOCK
IS WHAT THEY CALLED IT. IT WAS A CHEAP NEWSPAPER.
- REALLY. - WHAT I'D LIKE TO DO IS PUT THESE TWO
ON OUR LIGHT TABLE HERE. AND IF THIS ONE IS AUTHENTIC,
IT SHOULD LINE UP ALMOST PERFECTLY. - VERY NICE.
THAT LOOKS REALLY CLOSE. THIS CAME FROM THE SAME PLATE. AND IT LOOKS AS THOUGH
YOU HAVE AN ORIGINAL FROM 1963. - REALLY.
- MM-HMM. - ONE OF ABOUT 5,000 PRODUCED. - SO YOU THINK IS WORTH
A LOT OF MONEY? - I BELIEVE AT ONE POINT
THERE WAS AN AUCTION WHERE IT WAS ABOUT... $1,200. YEAH.
- REALLY. $1,200 IS A LOT OF MONEY. - I'VE GOT A REAL PIECE
OF AMERICAN HISTORY HERE. - DO I THINK LESA GOT LUCKY? YOU BET YOUR ASS SHE GOT LUCKY. - THANKS VERY MUCH.
- THANK YOU. - BUT I'M JUST GLAD I GOT
TO SEE A PIECE OF HISTORY. I LEARNED SOMETHING TOO TODAY.
- GREAT. narrator: THE LAKE HIGHLANDS

IN HER OWN DEPOSITORY. VICTOR RJESNJANSKY FOUND
AN $800 PROFIT IN HIS KEYS AND FURNITURE. ROY WILLIAMS PUT TOGETHER
A PORTABLE DARKROOM, MAKING HIM OVER 600 BUCKS. WHILE RICKY AND BUBBA

EMOTIONAL RIGHT NOW. LOOK, I WANT YOU TO SEE THIS. THERE'S A JFK MUSEUM IN DALLAS. TAKE IT OVER THERE AND THEY CAN
