00:00This has taken over your life.
00:01Yeah.
00:02This is how your friends feel when they come over.
00:06Okay?
00:08When a prize collection turns home life into chaos,
00:12it's time for a renovation intervention.
00:16I'm Bobby Burke.
00:18I help people transform their spaces to get their lives back in order.
00:21But to help pay for it,
00:23will they be willing to sell off some of their precious treasures
00:26to get the home they dream of?
00:30I'm John.
00:36I'm Victoria.
00:37And we collect vinyl records.
00:40Hey, John.
00:41That bottleneck package just came in.
00:42Oh, nice.
00:44Who would we say has the bigger collection, John?
00:46I mean, it's clearly her.
00:54I have wanted to be in movies pretty much my entire life.
00:57So the soundtrack, records, that was like the most accessible thing to be able to be reminded of that movie.
01:04Oh, that's the new Beetlejuice.
01:05That's really cool.
01:06Yeah, yeah.
01:07It's also something that's like ritualistic.
01:09Like I can grab it and put it on the record player.
01:12Oh, this is cool.
01:13Oh, yeah.
01:14Yeah, that is cool.
01:15I actually have always had a record player in my house growing up.
01:18That was really kind of where it all started for me.
01:22It was something we were able to bond over to when we first started dating.
01:26The first gift he actually ever got me was a record.
01:28But now we have a very large collection, but the biggest place that our records live is in the living room.
01:34But we also have records in pretty much every room.
01:38The main issue is the amount of vinyl that's on the ground.
01:41This is kind of an urgent thing for us because we just don't really have much walking room.
01:52I love that this is a shared passion for John to Victoria, but their collection is really starting to run the show.
01:58So with my 20 years of design experience, I'm going to help them keep the memories and the music to not the mess.
02:08Hey!
02:08Hello!
02:09Hi!
02:10Double hug?
02:11How's it going?
02:12Good, it's nice to meet you.
02:14I've seen a lot of records.
02:19Wow.
02:21Oh my gosh.
02:23You're both into collecting vinyls.
02:26Yes.
02:26Absolutely.
02:28Guys, tell me what you're into.
02:31What is this about?
02:33Mostly soundtracks.
02:35Anomalisa.
02:36This is signed by Charlie Kaufman.
02:38This one's signed by William Friedkin, who just passed away.
02:40He's the director of The Exorcist.
02:42Maybe I can show you...
02:43Wait, I see more than duplicates.
02:45I see quintuplets.
02:46Also, those are all different colors.
02:48All different colors.
02:48What do you mean?
02:49They look all...
02:49Oh, inside?
02:50Inside.
02:50So that's the gimmick now, is that they are different, like this is.
02:55Cool.
02:55And you just had to have all eight colors.
03:00You are capitalism's target.
03:02I'm part of the problem.
03:04Are they normally here on the floor?
03:06The records?
03:06Unfortunately.
03:06And on the sofa?
03:07Where do you sit?
03:08Where do your friends sit?
03:08So, that's kind of the issue with this room specifically.
03:12It doesn't feel like we can really entertain in here.
03:15No.
03:17I want this to be a listening room.
03:19Okay.
03:19So it would be nice to have, like, just a space to sit, put a record on.
03:23My priority would be hopefully getting as much of the records off the ground.
03:27We want to have people over more often, and we don't want to have to move a whole bunch
03:33of stuff every time we have guests over.
03:37You need to see other spaces?
03:38Yeah, absolutely.
03:38You said you had a screening room?
03:39We do.
03:40Okay.
03:40Can I see that?
03:41Yeah, for sure.
03:41Awesome.
03:42Let's head there.
03:45This is your screening room slash fluffy room.
03:49So is this the room you're in the most?
03:51Yeah.
03:52Essentially, I want this to be the screening room so we can bring our friends and hang
03:55out in and watch movies.
03:57My dream would be to get, like, a snack bar in here.
03:59You literally were reading my mind.
04:01I'm like, because this is just filled with boxes and stuff.
04:04Yeah, we just, we're just seeing a story.
04:06This would be an amazing bar for your screening room.
04:07Right?
04:08Like, popcorn machine, mini fridge.
04:11That would be so much fun.
04:12That's the dream.
04:13But why now?
04:14What's the need for change now?
04:15One, we've been saving up.
04:17And two, we're a little stressed.
04:19It's been hard to have people over with all of the records lying around.
04:21And honestly, music and movies are made to be shared with people.
04:24We love hosting, and we just want to get back to that.
04:27All right, so budget-wise, what are we working with?
04:28I think probably we've got, like, $8,000.
04:32Like, something around there.
04:33Somewhere around there?
04:34Yeah.
04:34Okay.
04:35So, in the living room, that will eat up all of that.
04:39Wow.
04:40I know you're itching to make this a multimedia show, please, so let me tell you what I'm thinking.
04:44In the listening room, I can get your records off the ground with some Florida ceiling storage,
04:48and a built-in turntable.
04:50I could tile the fireplace, add some cozy furniture, and warm lighting to create a laid-back space
04:55for good music and company.
04:57I have some ideas for what I want to do over here.
05:00Okay, cool.
05:00So, you can host friends in the screening room.
05:02I can revamp it with new paint, recessed lighting, and a lounge-worthy sofa.
05:08And reframe that cluttered closet into a sleek snack bar with modern cabinetry, mini fridge,
05:13and, of course, a popcorn machine.
05:15I can get all this done, but it's going to cost about $22,000, and that is $14,000 more
05:21than your budget.
05:21So, if you're willing to part with some of your collection...
05:23I feel like that's too much.
05:26I do kind of want a snack bar.
05:27I kind of feel like the collection is your whole identity.
05:31Yeah.
05:31It's kind of taking over.
05:32It's hampering social.
05:34It's hampering movement.
05:36Yeah.
05:36Basically, you can't go on like this.
05:38Yeah.
05:39With the amount of records, like, it's just kind of hard to go through them.
05:42I have an expert coming in, and he's going to help us start evaluating what things are worth
05:46so you can see what you can sell to get the full renovation and not pay out of pocket.
05:50And then we're going to make some either easy or hard decisions.
05:53Okay.
05:54Most of the stuff that I have signed, I've got it signed myself.
05:58So, there's like a little bit of an attachment.
06:00It's like the nostalgia of having the memory of getting it signed.
06:03That's what makes it so hard to let go.
06:06Sounds like a plan.
06:07Okay.
06:07All right.
06:07Let's get out of here.
06:08Awesome.
06:13You'll get along well with them.
06:15All right.
06:15I'm Lance Barisi, and I'm the owner of Permanent Records Roadhouse.
06:19Nice to meet you, Lance.
06:20I'm John.
06:20Nice to meet you, too, John.
06:21I personally specialize in vintage records, primarily from the 60s and 70s.
06:27There's very few record store owners that specialize in records the way that I do.
06:35To be honest, Lance, a lot of the stuff that I think is valuable is only because we got it
06:39signed.
06:40What you're looking for when it comes to autographed records is household names, first and foremost.
06:45Soundtrack world, you want the big-name directors.
06:48Do you have a freaking?
06:49Freaking.
06:50That's cool.
06:51Yeah.
06:51So, what's something like that worth?
06:53I would say probably somewhere between $100 and $300.
06:55Okay.
06:56That's great.
06:56I mean, that's just one.
06:58I know it's one you probably don't want to part with.
06:59Yeah.
07:00We'll see.
07:01I actually have one.
07:04He has a lot of soundtracks.
07:06I have a lot of Taylor Swift.
07:08And this is the record store date pressing from a few years ago.
07:12And I know the record store date ones are kind of pricey.
07:14You're absolutely right.
07:16People camp out and wait in long, long lines in order to get these exclusive releases that
07:22are super limited.
07:23Because it's still sealed, you might get...
07:26On that particular colored vinyl variant, you might get $1,500 or $2,000 for that.
07:35Oh, okay.
07:37All right.
07:37So, I can sell this one?
07:38No.
07:40Look how much more he has than I do.
07:42Yours are worth more money, I think.
07:43That's...
07:44I mean, that's probably true.
07:48Even more records in here.
07:49And I know we're just still at the tip of the freaking iceberg.
07:52We can pull out what I just called out of the corner of my eye in this Batman the Animated
07:57Series box set.
07:59That's like $600 or $800 these days.
08:02That's only volume one because this is volume two.
08:04I would have to get rid of volume two.
08:06That pays for the fireplace.
08:07So, Bobby says, get rid of phone.
08:09Oh.
08:10Are you even going to remember they're gone?
08:12Yeah.
08:13Like, I grew up with the animated series Batman.
08:19I'm sure there's quite a few ways to sell.
08:21What's that process?
08:23You can come to somebody like me.
08:24Come to my shop.
08:25I'll pay you fairly.
08:26Or you can go the route of going on any of the online auction platforms.
08:32Lots of decisions to make.
08:33I mean, I know what I would do.
08:35I see.
08:37Take care, y'all.
08:40Now that we have some ideas on what things are worth, I want to go over the numbers we need.
08:46You have eight grand, but I'm going to need $22,000 to really give you the two spaces you want.
08:52So we need another 14 total.
08:54Oh, okay.
08:55You could sell your big ticket items, or you can sell boxes and boxes of records, which is also a way to do it.
09:01So do you want to get started and agree to sell some vinyl to cover the $14,000 in additional rental costs?
09:07I feel like weirdly guilty trying to sell the signed ones.
09:13I don't really know how to put a price on that.
09:17Yeah, sure.
09:17Yeah, let's do it.
09:18Definitely get rid of some duplicates.
09:20Remember, if you can't make the $14,000 by selling your records, it'll have to come out of pocket.
09:24Okay.
09:25And when I leave, I need you guys to talk amongst yourselves and start selling those records.
09:32Yeah, we've got to look through some stuff.
09:34All right, so with what you've agreed to sell, I've got to go meet the contractor and get some hammer swinging.
09:39Okay, I feel like today was a lot.
09:42I'm proud of you.
09:43I'm very proud of you.
09:44Victoria and John, they need to figure out what they want to sell.
09:47They need to make some concessions because this is important.
09:49They want to get their life back.
09:50They want to start entertaining.
09:51They want to start having friends over again.
09:53And to do that, they've got to let some things go.
09:59The renovation is in full swing.
10:02The vinyl has been consolidated to one room.
10:04That one's pretty much filled.
10:05This one?
10:06If you want to grab that one.
10:07So John and Victoria can still sort through them and decide what they're willing to sell.
10:13With them needing $14,000 to cover the full rental costs, I'm just hoping that whatever they've sold isn't coming up short.
10:19All right.
10:24So I think it already feels a little better in here.
10:27Yeah.
10:27It was kind of intense to move everything because it was a little overwhelming.
10:31Yeah.
10:32Needing to part with a bunch of stuff as well as moving all these records.
10:36It took, you know, a very...
10:37A couple days.
10:38How much were you able to sell?
10:40Yeah.
10:40I mean, he was selling some stuff online since we saw you last.
10:44Great.
10:44So...
10:44We ended up selling, I think, about...
10:46Like four grand.
10:48All right.
10:48That's awesome.
10:49Yeah.
10:49Online, we sold about 2,500 worth of soundtracks and about 1,500 of hip-hop albums.
10:55We love our records.
10:57Like, we are huge fans of the collection that we've built.
11:00It's just hard to sell.
11:02Like, it's hard to separate from our records.
11:04Yeah.
11:05That is sort of the thing we kind of were starting to run into was we were like,
11:08oh, well, we really like this record or we remember where we bought it or who we were with.
11:14Of course.
11:14Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:15We talked about this fireplace last time.
11:17Yeah.
11:18The idea for this was to add new tile, surround, like make it really pretty and a little bit more modern.
11:23How are we feeling?
11:24We kind of talked about it a lot that with all of the other upgrades we do really want,
11:29this sort of kind of fell to the bottom of the list.
11:32So I think we're going to pass on this one.
11:33That's fine.
11:34That's two grand off the budget that we would have spent on the fireplace,
11:37but you will still need to sell eight grand worth of records.
11:39Yeah.
11:40I know the 4,000 isn't exactly where we're supposed to hit.
11:44I saw that the old projector room has become record storage.
11:47Yes, it has.
11:48So we need to sell it bulk, so let's fill up some crates.
11:51Okay.
11:51We got another $8,000 that I'm hoping isn't going to be out of pocket.
11:55This is where everything's been living.
11:57Okay.
12:02This is how your friends feel when they come over.
12:05Okay?
12:06So we need to give them, you know, at least six more inches.
12:10I think we could do six inches.
12:11Okay, good.
12:13This has taken over your life.
12:14Yeah.
12:14So on that note, getting the boxes.
12:18Oh, yes.
12:18You've got this.
12:19Oh, John, here's the F1.
12:21Do you want to sell the F1?
12:22No.
12:23You love Brad Pitt that much?
12:24Yes.
12:25Okay.
12:26I get it.
12:27It is not easy to part with the things you love,
12:29but if they continue going through record by record,
12:33it's going to take them forever.
12:34You're saying you want me to get rid of my NSYNC record?
12:37Yes.
12:37You can do it.
12:38I believe in you.
12:40At least someone does.
12:41I need them to sell things now because I'm already doing work.
12:45I have already committed money to crews that they have not made yet.
12:49Oh, God.
12:54Things are moving full speed at John and Victoria's.
12:57I picked a gray-blue paint for the screening room
12:59to create a calm, theater-like feel
13:01without making the space feel too dark.
13:03And in the listening room,
13:04the new record storage cubes are just the right size
13:07to hold 12-inch LPs.
13:09While I'm hoping they've picked up the pace
13:11on choosing which records to sell,
13:13I am busy installing the stack bar in the screening room.
13:16John and Victoria are short $8,000,
13:20and that's still a lot of records to sell.
13:22So I'm hoping this bulk sale
13:24will get us to where we need to be.
13:26Oh, my God.
13:26There's so much more space already.
13:29This is kind of crazy, John.
13:30But my concern right now,
13:32sending them off to Lance's,
13:34is that not only they're not going to sell everything,
13:36but they're going to come back with more,
13:38which kind of defeats the purpose.
13:39So it's...
13:40Why did I send them to a record store?
13:46All right.
13:53Is that the rest of it?
13:54Yeah, this is the last of it.
13:55Fantastic.
13:56Let me get the door for you.
13:57You're making moves.
13:58I like that.
13:59Yeah.
14:00We have like 600 records
14:02to like evaluate and see if he could sell them.
14:04No pressure.
14:05As expected,
14:06lots of cool soundtracks,
14:07lots of...
14:08Lots of weird, obscure stuff too.
14:11It was kind of difficult
14:12to be able to get rid of that much stuff.
14:15There's just things that like,
14:16you know,
14:17that have nice memories attached to them
14:18and it's like,
14:19we're not going to get rid of those.
14:21Ooh, is this the...
14:22Oh.
14:23And that particular vinyl variant,
14:25you might get $1,500 or $2,000 for that.
14:28Oh, okay.
14:29No.
14:29It's not the one.
14:30No, I'm...
14:30Okay, I'm sorry.
14:31That's the Taylor's version.
14:32I'm not...
14:33Look, Lance,
14:34you're never going to see
14:34that record store day vinyl again.
14:36Fair enough.
14:36It's staying in my house.
14:37You're probably right.
14:38Based on what I saw at your house,
14:40this is all good stuff.
14:41Most of these records retail
14:43for like $20, $30, $40 bucks,
14:46which means that I'll probably be able
14:47to offer somewhere between $10
14:49and $20 bucks apiece for them.
14:53$10 to $20 a record
14:54is a wide difference.
14:57I need Lance to buy these records
14:58for top dollar
14:59because if he buys them
15:00for only $10 each,
15:02that's only going to be $6,000.
15:03Hopefully Lance likes them.
15:04Hopefully he buys all of them
15:05because that would be great.
15:06Yeah, I hope so.
15:08It's going to take me
15:09a day or two probably
15:10to do an evaluation.
15:14Can we browse around?
15:16Oh, of course.
15:17There's always the store credit option.
15:19No.
15:19You don't want to cash out.
15:20We want cash.
15:21Bobby will yell at us.
15:23It's like a slippery slope.
15:24Like I go in and I'm like,
15:25I need something.
15:30That's an original pressing.
15:32Wait, I kind of need this.
15:39There's always the store credit option.
15:43You can't stop collecting.
15:46You can always just grab like a couple.
15:53Okay, so all four of them
15:55that we pulled.
15:55Yeah, that's not that much.
15:57We're a little worried
15:58we're not going to meet the goal.
16:00We're going to see what Lance
16:02comes back with.
16:03Yeah.
16:03Hopefully it'll make a big dent
16:05in what we're trying to get for Bobby
16:07and then we don't have to pay.
16:10I don't want to give.
16:10So much out of pop.
16:11Yeah, and I also don't want
16:12to give up my snack bar.
16:13See you soon.
16:14See you soon.
16:14All right, bye.
16:15Bye.
16:20So excited.
16:22Today's the day we actually
16:24get to check out both spaces.
16:26We sold about $8,500
16:28worth of records to Lance.
16:29Which is like actually insane,
16:31but I'm so glad that Bobby
16:32got what he needed
16:33to like really reinvigorate our space
16:35and like put a new spin on it.
16:37It's going to be,
16:37I'm so excited.
16:38Very excited.
16:42In just a few moments,
16:44I'm going to show John and Victoria
16:45their new space
16:45and I've really done my best
16:47to organize their entire collection
16:49by genre.
16:50Just the way they like it,
16:51their home still reflects
16:52their love of collecting,
16:53but it's now more balanced
16:54and really ready
16:55to invite friends over.
16:56I just,
16:57I can't wait for them
16:58to see it.
17:00All right, guys.
17:01Check out your new space.
17:03First, the listening room.
17:05What do you think, guys?
17:10Oh my gosh.
17:12Oh, what do we think?
17:13Wow.
17:13Oh, this is so cool.
17:15This is phenomenal.
17:17Yeah, you got all of my records
17:19off the ground, Bobby.
17:20I don't even know
17:21how that happened.
17:22And you actually have
17:24like a place to chill.
17:25Like not just for you guys,
17:27but for friends.
17:28I've like honestly
17:29never even thought
17:30of this setup
17:31as being feasible for us
17:32and this is so awesome.
17:35John, as you can see,
17:37I did not fill these
17:38as full as they can be.
17:39I didn't want to risk
17:40messing up any jackets.
17:41Wow.
17:41We've got these lights up here,
17:43they're by remote.
17:43It's great.
17:44I tried to pull colors
17:46in the living room
17:47that were already in the tile
17:48so it makes it pop.
17:49It's really open.
17:50Do you feel like
17:50you want to be in here more now?
17:51Oh, absolutely.
17:53Our living room,
17:53I feel like,
17:54used to be really dark.
17:55I love how much lighter it is.
17:58Over here,
17:59we've got this new
18:00listening space.
18:03Yeah.
18:04With the new turntable
18:05and amplifier.
18:08Yeah.
18:08That's amazing.
18:09This is so good.
18:12I was very proud of you guys
18:13because you did so.
18:14I know you were
18:15very reluctant to it first.
18:16It was like $8,000
18:17or something.
18:17That like $8,500, I think.
18:19I think in the end,
18:19we got to like
18:20a little over $12,000.
18:21Yeah.
18:22That's huge.
18:22Yes.
18:23Not only did you
18:24make enough
18:25to give me the money
18:26I needed to do
18:26the upgrades,
18:28but I think it also shows you
18:29you are still able
18:30to have a place
18:30for your passions,
18:32but also have a place
18:32to really, truly
18:33enjoy those passions.
18:34Absolutely.
18:35I think the nice thing
18:36about this whole process
18:37was being able
18:38to do it as a couple,
18:39really honing in
18:40on the things
18:41we wanted to keep,
18:42the things that
18:42we both really loved,
18:44things that we were like,
18:45okay,
18:45kind of getting rid of.
18:46Pretty much the ones
18:47that created memories
18:48we want to keep.
18:49All right,
18:50so are we ready
18:50to see the screening room?
18:51Yes.
18:51Let's see that.
18:52Okay?
18:52All right,
18:52let's head in.
18:53Okay.
18:54Oh my gosh.
18:56A real live theater room.
18:59Oh wow.
19:04This is so good.
19:05This is crazy.
19:08Oh wow.
19:08This is so cool, Bobby.
19:10We've got the deluxe snack bar.
19:15We've got an amazing
19:17built-in mini fridge
19:18and I love it
19:19because it has the glass doors.
19:20Yeah, it's so cute.
19:22Nice new butcher block
19:23countertop.
19:24Wow.
19:24And not like
19:25your typical butcher block.
19:26It has a nice pattern
19:26inlay in it.
19:27It's so pretty.
19:28It looks unique.
19:29The shelf,
19:29the popcorn machine,
19:30a drawer,
19:31a storage.
19:32It's just like
19:33the perfect little snack bar.
19:33I know,
19:34I'm so excited.
19:35This is so fun.
19:37It's opened up
19:38the space so much more.
19:39I honestly could never
19:41have imagined
19:41this many seats in here.
19:42Right?
19:43And of course,
19:44no room in your house
19:45would be complete
19:46without more records.
19:47Absolutely.
19:48These are what?
19:49This is soundtracks.
19:51It works for the room.
19:53Exactly.
19:53Yeah.
19:54Record covers are great,
19:55either on the side
19:56or the front
19:57because they're art.
19:58Bobby's work
19:58has been phenomenal.
20:00Everything he's done
20:00has just been
20:01exactly what we asked for
20:03and more actually.
20:04Yeah, it was really cool
20:05how he kind of
20:05made it feel like us,
20:06you know?
20:07We all remember
20:08what the space
20:08looked like before.
20:09Yes.
20:10But what I want to remember
20:11is why we're here.
20:13I moved in here
20:14and he'd been living
20:15here for a while
20:16and we just never
20:17really made this place
20:18feel like ours.
20:21We moved in,
20:22like, my furniture
20:22from my apartment
20:23into the house
20:24that he already
20:25had some furniture in
20:26so it was just,
20:26like, never cohesive.
20:28It's never yours
20:29as a couple.
20:29Exactly.
20:30Like, there was
20:31your stuff and his stuff
20:32but nothing was our stuff.
20:33Exactly.
20:34So, and the thing
20:35that was our stuff
20:36were the records.
20:37It's nice to kind of
20:38be able to,
20:39one, really, like,
20:40highlight that thing
20:41that we love
20:42to collect together
20:43but, two,
20:44just to really make this
20:45feel like our space
20:46so we can, you know,
20:47bring friends over
20:48more often.
20:49We love entertaining
20:49and that's, you know,
20:51the big thing, I think.
20:52This really kick-started
20:53us really trying
20:54to audit
20:55our record collection.
20:56Selling
20:57was totally worth it.
20:59We have these
21:01two gorgeous spaces
21:02that we can really,
21:03like, have folks in.
21:04It's going to be great.
21:05The time has come
21:06for me to get out
21:07of your hair.
21:07Okay.
21:08You know, I hope
21:08you enjoy your space.
21:09Thank you so much.
21:10I hope you continue
21:11to listen to music together
21:12for decades and decades
21:13to come.
21:14It'll be better.
21:15Hey.
21:15All right.
21:16Thanks so much, Bobby.
21:18So much fun meeting you.
21:20Awesome.
21:20Thank you so much, Bobby.
