00:00Is this the barn in question, Charlie?
00:02I'm not going, I'll leave it to you.
00:04I like it.
00:05And then I realized we were being followed.
00:09He's coming and he's going to kick your ass.
00:11I was chased by squirrels, epic pigs, and dogs.
00:15We were facing an immense bird, much bigger than a turkey.
00:18It was an emu with enormous claws that was rushing towards us.
00:21That's not true!
00:23Don't upset him!
00:26This is what I have been looking for for over 25 years.
00:31There are only about ten left, that's how rare this bike is.
00:36It is for sale.
00:38My name is Mike Wolfe.
00:40And me, Frank Fritz.
00:41We are antique dealers.
00:45We travel along the backroads of America in search of all the wonders that people leave to decay,
00:49in their garage or barn.
00:53Where you see junk, we see treasures.
00:58We buy everything we think we can resell.
01:01The objects that are found all have their own story.
01:06And their owners often have incredible backgrounds.
01:12Through these objects, we can trace the entire history of America.
01:23We're on a road trip in the proud state of Kentucky and we hope to find some wonders.
01:28We've been here before and it worked out well for us.
01:31And here?
01:32No.
01:34And now?
01:35Let go.
01:37Did you see that?
01:38Yes.
01:40Already ?
01:40Yes.
01:41Antique hunting in Kentucky is nothing like what we know back home.
01:44Every 10 kilometers, there is a flea market.
01:46People here have been collecting bargains since they were little.
01:48It's part of the local culture.
01:50There are many collectors, which means there is a lot to see.
01:55Do you know what I've been thinking about?
01:57No.
01:58Imagine that I have a super cute daughter and that you're a son who looks just like you.
02:03He even has a beard already, despite being only 3 years old.
02:06He would spend his time flirting with my daughter, and so I would have to tell you to keep him away from her.
02:12I get it.
02:13Once you tell me that, I'll go tell my son that your daughter doesn't deserve it.
02:17not.
02:17It's a tall pole that's as thin as a nail.
02:21Hey, look.
02:23That looks good to me, let's give it a try.
02:25That's crazy, have you seen that place?
02:28We're going to have a great time.
02:31Okay, let's get started, I'll make the introductions.
02:34Okay, I'll let you do it.
02:35You'll see how it goes.
02:36Well, here we are.
02:38Hello, how are you?
02:40Good and you ?
02:40Okay, I'm Mike.
02:42And I'm Franck.
02:43One does not choose one's name.
02:44All right.
02:45We were passing by the area and saw your bric-a-brac shop.
02:48We're from Iowa, we're bargain hunters.
02:50We are particularly interested in everything related to petrol stations.
02:53Do you have that?
02:55Let's see what I have, it won't save us from talking for nothing.
02:58Okay, let's go.
02:59I like your style.
03:00He's exactly the kind of guy I like to meet when I'm out and about.
03:04He invites us to rummage through what he has amassed.
03:07Where do all these things come from?
03:09I do two or three auctions a week and I scour flea markets.
03:13How long have you been going to flea markets?
03:1540 years old.
03:1640 years old?
03:17Three auctions per week?
03:19When it's not four?
03:21I started 40 or 45 years ago looking for fishing rods and then I
03:25continued.
03:26In 1980, I stopped drinking and smoking, which left me with more money to hunt for bargains.
03:31That's when I got serious.
03:33I don't believe it.
03:36You could say you have some things here.
03:38There are a heck of a lot of tools.
03:40But you haven't seen anything.
03:42This is the land of frying hairs.
03:46I noticed that you had many copies of the same items.
03:50It's not uncommon to see this in a collector's collection, but you've taken it to the extreme.
03:56Your collection of fishing rods commands respect.
03:58Why did you amass such a large quantity?
04:01I should talk to one of those overly snobby people who make you lie down on a couch.
04:04But I can't afford it.
04:05However, I believe it would help me.
04:07I used these rods, that's already one explanation.
04:09But I stopped fishing two years ago.
04:11I don't know why, I still buy them.
04:13It's like a drug for me.
04:17Can you help me get off the phone?
04:19I'll stop today if you have a plan.
04:22I use this to catch male fish.
04:24Nice model, did you see that?
04:26Great, that's fantastic.
04:28I love this thing.
04:29Is it for sale?
04:30No.
04:31All right.
04:32And how much do you charge for the purchase incentive?
04:35A purchase incentive is a type of slot machine that offered gifts to customers of certain stores.
04:39shops.
04:40It's not cheap.
04:41Would you like to sit down?
04:43Stick to that.
04:43That's it, I'm holding on tight.
04:45So what is it?
04:46250.
04:47That's the price.
04:49How much for that?
04:4965 for the caps, 75 for the bottles.
04:52Understood.
04:53How much for the boxing bell?
04:54175.
04:57Okay, that's the price.
04:59He knows exactly how much everything he owns is worth.
05:01It looks like it's going to be difficult for Franck and me.
05:03Charlie?
05:04What ?
05:05What is this?
05:07Old marbles.
05:08How many do you want?
05:09$75 each.
05:11$75 each?
05:13When it comes to marbles, everything depends on the condition.
05:16They come in all sorts of varieties.
05:17The oldest ones were made of clay, like this one.
05:19It's something very worth looking for.
05:30There are 50 marbles, let's say $1 per marble.
05:33No.
05:34$1.25.
05:36No.
05:37Make an effort.
05:38How much for both boxes?
05:40$150.
05:42That doesn't help me.
05:43Can't you make them for me for $100?
05:45No.
05:4550 each?
05:47Could you sell some reels?
05:48I don't need it.
05:50Too bad.
05:51Marbles interest me, but I'll put them aside for now.
05:54Because Charlie refuses to give me a discount.
06:01How much for the mermaid?
06:0275.
06:0375?
06:04It's expensive.
06:05The old mermaid was one of the first things I noticed.
06:08It was very classy, but Charlie was asking $75 for it.
06:11Let's say 50.
06:13Let me see.
06:16Does that mean no?
06:18Yeah.
06:19We couldn't reach an agreement, too bad.
06:21I thought you wanted to sell things.
06:23That's the case, we're not finished yet.
06:26I want to sell, but not at a discount.
06:30How much for this keyless padlock?
06:31$30.
06:3315 dollars?
06:34I need to find my way around.
06:36You make me feel sorry for you.
06:38I like you, but I think of myself first.
06:40Okay.
06:4120 dollars?
06:4225.
06:43I'll think about it.
06:45I wondered how I could get the marbles out of him.
06:47I thought a tactical purchase might help me.
06:50I'll pay you 30 dollars for it.
06:52What's wrong with you?
06:53I will build trust.
06:55I'm going from 25 to 30.
06:57Did you get hit on the head?
06:58That's quite possible.
07:00I accept your offer.
07:01It's going well.
07:02My plan to get the marbles is progressing.
07:04I made other purchases.
07:06How much for that?
07:07$15.
07:09I'll take this one, $15?
07:11All right.
07:12Great.
07:12I thought he would lower his price.
07:15Earlier, Mike wanted to buy the purchase stimulant.
07:17If I pay $150 for the marbles, how much will you charge me for the slot machine?
07:23225, no less.
07:25I racked my brains to come up with some prizes for him.
07:27I had to leave with those marbles.
07:30I'll give you $150 for the marbles if you add 7 extra.
07:34No.
07:35No ?
07:37160 for the meat slicer and the balls.
07:39No.
07:40There was nothing to be done.
07:41In cash?
07:42No.
07:43And I don't accept checks.
07:45I'm lowering it from $10 to $140.
07:48I don't know what came over me.
07:49I told myself I had to seize my chance.
07:51I'll take the marbles at 140.
07:53That works ?
07:54Yes.
07:55Great.
07:56I paid $140 for the marbles.
07:58But some of them might be worth $1000.
08:03Charlie.
08:04What ?
08:04You have two old biker caps.
08:07I came across two really cool biker caps, very nice collector's items.
08:12Everything related to motorcycles sells very, very well.
08:14How much for the caps?
08:15$150 for the lot.
08:18That's to say ?
08:19The three things.
08:20Both caps and the poster?
08:22Yes.
08:23The poster is recent, it doesn't interest me.
08:25Let's say $125 for the caps and you keep the poster.
08:28I don't want it.
08:29No ?
08:30It's 150 with or without a poster.
08:32Okay, fine.
08:34Deal concluded.
08:35Thank you so much.
08:44An old firefighter's helmet.
08:45Have you ever seen them in leather?
08:47Yes, I have one at the moment which is missing a symbol.
08:50Just like on mine.
08:51How much are you selling it for?
08:52Let's say 50 dollars.
08:54Many people collect firefighting equipment.
08:56This helmet is very beautiful, it's all leather.
08:58You can see that it's a handcrafted item; it's quality work.
09:01I love objects like this.
09:02I have clients who would buy it without hesitation.
09:14You say $50, will you do it for $40?
09:18One sign is missing.
09:21That's worth a $5 discount.
09:23No, I don't think so, it's worth 10 in my opinion.
09:26$45 for the helmet?
09:28Yes.
09:29Okay, I'll take it.
09:31Okay, I paid $45 for the firefighter helmet.
09:34I plan to resell it for 85.
09:36Which way are we going?
09:38Shall we go out?
09:38Yes.
09:39All right.
09:40Charlie told us about a barn and we decided to go there.
09:43Charlie, is this the barn?
09:45I'm not going, I'll leave it to you.
09:47Why is that?
09:48I'm too lazy.
09:49Are you feeling lazy?
09:51Where is it over there?
09:52You'll see.
09:54Is there any good in it?
09:55That's all there is to it, I would say.
09:57Oh yes ?
09:58Okay, that's where we're going to make some real discoveries, Franck.
10:02He told us we could explore the barn as we pleased.
10:05And I thought it was great.
10:06I look at myself, the buzzards are already circling around us.
10:09Oh, wow.
10:11And then I realized we were being followed.
10:13I heard it.
10:15He's coming, he's going to kick your ass.
10:18These creatures are real bastards.
10:20We were facing an immense bird, much bigger than a turkey.
10:24It was an emu with enormous claws that was rushing towards us.
10:28Don't upset him.
10:30I was chased by squirrels, epic pigs, and dogs.
10:34I don't know if I'll make it through.
10:35You're in trouble, Franck.
10:37That's not true.
10:39This is the first time we've entered a barn to take refuge.
10:45Look at her eyes, they're all red.
10:47He is bad.
10:49I understand why Charlie didn't come.
11:00Franck, we're never going to get out of here.
11:02We're stuck, he's angry.
11:04He was pacing back and forth outside.
11:06He had us in his grasp.
11:07We were on his territory.
11:09Look, he's so angry he's pecking at himself.
11:11Yeah.
11:12He wants to gouge your eyes out.
11:14But no.
11:15Charlie, how do we get out of here?
11:17It's best to wait until the emu leaves.
11:19He's not going away, he's got us in his grip.
11:23Let's try the other side.
11:24I think that by going out the other way, we can escape this bird.
11:28It looks like he lives here.
11:30There's a lot of excrement.
11:32We need to be at his place.
11:33I know, that's why he wants to get us.
11:37Wait for me, don't leave me alone with him.
11:39I like this fireplace mantel.
11:41He's classy.
11:42Take a look.
11:44I found a great cast iron fireplace mantel.
11:47He looks really very handsome.
11:49With its patina and rust.
11:53Charlie!
11:54How much for the old fireplace mantel?
11:57If you get it out of there, it's yours for $40.
12:00I absolutely have to get out of here.
12:02$40 for the fireplace mantel, I can easily resell it for 10 times that amount at the store.
12:06For a profit like that, we have to find a way to get it out of there.
12:10How do you calculate the distance to the van?
12:13Thanks to my friend Frank Fritz.
12:15Of course.
12:16We'll see if it's heavy.
12:17It's cast iron.
12:17I know, but let me see.
12:20Wow!
12:21Upon examining the fireplace mantel, I noticed that it was leaning against a barn door.
12:29Listen.
12:33He's right here.
12:36I thought to myself that this emu was going to mistake my blow for a giant sausage and that it was going to
12:40'hasten to peck at it.'
12:41That's not true!
12:43Watch out, the bird is coming back towards us.
12:45Suddenly, other animals started charging at us.
12:47Beware of the pig!
12:48There's a pig now!
12:50Where?
12:51Right there!
12:52He's more tenacious than an emu!
12:55And here's the worst of all!
12:56That's not true.
12:57I don't like turning my back on a donkey.
13:00I wondered why Frank was so slow.
13:03All I wanted was to get out of here.
13:05He's coming this way!
13:07I was wearing the fireplace mantel with Charlie laughing on one side.
13:11Meanwhile, the emu, the pig, and the donkey came running from the other side.
13:14I had the impression he mistook me for Doctor Dolittle.
13:19Put it down, put it down!
13:21When we finally got out of the enclosure, I was sweating and exhausted.
13:24Charlie was laughing, but I didn't understand why.
13:27We could have stayed there.
13:29It is domesticated.
13:30What ?
13:31The whole neighborhood gives him cookies.
13:33He comes to eat from my hand.
13:35He's not a bad guy?
13:36It only has a tiny beak.
13:38It's nice of you to say that in hindsight.
13:40It has red eyes and claws at the ends of its paws.
13:42His gaze won't kill you.
13:44Did he give you a dirty look?
13:45I thought he was joking.
13:47It was just a poor, harmless bird.
13:50It was a very enriching trip.
13:52Charlie is a great guy and it's awesome to meet someone who's been thrifting twice as long
13:56than us.
13:58One two three !
13:59I'm glad I bought this $40 fireplace mantel.
14:03It's a remarkable item that I plan to resell for $400.
14:06Mike, I'm waiting for my marbles.
14:07I spent $140 on these two sets.
14:10I hope to resell them for $250 each.
14:12I love headwear.
14:14I bought three of them.
14:15I paid $150 for the two caps.
14:17I'm going to ask for $150 each.
14:20Thank you for everything, Charlie.
14:22It was cool to browse around your place.
14:24Thank you so much.
14:25I saw two grown men fleeing from a bird and a donkey.
14:28You have to see it to believe it.
14:30I should have taken a picture.
14:34Go Charlie!
14:35See you soon.
14:36Until next time.
14:42You're lucky you escaped the emu.
14:44I know.
14:45He didn't seem very friendly.
14:46And did you see the claws of that creature?
14:48They were big enough to tear us to pieces.
14:51Yes, his gaze was diabolical.
14:53His eyes were red.
14:54At the same time, that's normal for an emu.
14:56It's true ?
14:57Do you know who he reminded me of?
14:58No.
14:59To an angry Daniel.
15:08My job consists largely of selling off stock.
15:11It shouldn't be allowed to pile up.
15:13Some things have to go to make room for others.
15:16Sometimes I have to chase after the client.
15:18But sometimes, the client comes to me.
15:24Good morning.
15:25Good morning.
15:26Daniel.
15:26Joe.
15:27Pleased to meet you, Joe.
15:28My name is Carrie.
15:28Hello, Carrie.
15:30Welcome.
15:30Tell me everything.
15:31We're opening a bar-restaurant.
15:33We're looking for something to decorate it with.
15:35What would you have to offer us?
15:38In what style?
15:39Rather rustic.
15:40There is quite a bit of exposed woodwork and a few whisky barrels.
15:44That kind of atmosphere.
15:45We're looking for a distinctive object to complete the decor.
15:50Like old signs, for example?
15:52We are open to any suggestions.
15:54All right.
15:54Follow me.
16:00We have quite a few signs.
16:02I love this one.
16:03The Blue Ribbon Cigar.
16:05I think it's great.
16:06That might be a bit small.
16:08We are looking for something to decorate the bar-restaurant, with a particular focus on the bar area.
16:15Okay, I understand.
16:17It's important to sell what you have.
16:19Otherwise, the money stops coming in.
16:23I like that.
16:24Yes, it's great.
16:26It doesn't light up, does it?
16:27You can always get it repaired.
16:29That's not out of the question.
16:32This Liquor Store sign is one of the coolest I've ever seen.
16:36I would like to hang it in my living room.
16:37Where does she come from?
16:39This sign dates back to the 1950s.
16:42It was hanging on the facade of a liquor store in a small town in Visconti.
16:47I think it's a remarkable piece.
16:49I know someone who works with neon lights.
16:51He's doing a good job.
16:52I could put you in touch with him.
16:53It would be great if it could turn on.
16:56Yes, I completely agree.
16:58525 is a bargain for this brand.
17:03I'm in.
17:04Cool.
17:05And you ?
17:06He signs the check, so that's fine with me.
17:08All right.
17:14Thank you for your help.
17:15Thank you.
17:16Come back and see us.
17:17All right.
17:18We are very happy with our purchase.
17:20She'll look great.
17:21She will be the only one being talked about.
17:24Mission accomplished.
17:27Are you using men's hair dye?
17:29In stick form?
17:30No, the dye to apply to the beard.
17:34You would need at least a liter for your hair.
17:37What are you talking about? I'm proud of my white hair.
17:40You look like your dog, you're getting grayer than him.
17:42You look like an antique.
17:44Do I look old?
17:45Old, dirty, dusty.
17:47I just got out of the shower.
17:50We're crisscrossing Kentucky, we haven't made any major discoveries yet, and we're getting a little tired of it.
17:54fishing rods.
17:55We need to hit the jackpot.
17:56And quickly.
17:57There's nothing here.
17:59We're in the middle of nowhere.
18:01We took the wrong turn and ended up in the middle of a newly built residential area.
18:06We're still lost.
18:07What would we be without GPS?
18:09There's something, right here.
18:14Use your bearded charm.
18:16Good morning.
18:17Good morning.
18:18How are you ?
18:19We saw your petrol pumps.
18:20Do you like them?
18:21Yes, my name is Mike.
18:22Mike?
18:23And me, Franck, we come from Iowa, we're antique dealers, we come here to do business.
18:28Here's a list; this is the kind of thing that might interest us.
18:32All right.
18:33We're looking for a little bit of everything.
18:34I have many items on this list.
18:36All right.
18:37How long have you had this car?
18:38It's gleaming.
18:39It's a 1975 Chevrolet Impala.
18:42Is the paint original?
18:43Yes, she never got hit.
18:45White leather seats are typical of Kentucky.
18:48Would you like to take a look?
18:49Downright.
18:51I like that kind of guy.
18:52He gets straight to the point.
18:54Everything here is for sale.
18:56Do you have a little bit of everything?
18:57Yes.
18:58It's all about buying at the right price and selling at the right price too.
19:01Of course.
19:02I keep buying, selling, and trading.
19:05It's my passion.
19:06That's why they call me Super Schiner.
19:08All right.
19:09Go ahead, make yourself at home.
19:11That works ?
19:12It's not bad.
19:14When you rummage through this kind of bric-a-brac, you're looking for something original, a unique object.
19:19gender.
19:21Super Schiner, how much for this horn?
19:24Here, the rare gem is this double-horned horn.
19:28A double brass horn, with a rubber bulb, a really great thing.
19:34Make me an offer and we'll discuss it.
19:3720 dollars?
19:3820 dollars?
19:39Yeah.
19:40With that, we were starting off on the right foot.
19:4220 dollars it is.
19:44All right.
19:44That's $10 each.
19:46Not bad.
19:51Hey.
19:52You said it.
19:54We collectors all have our own cabinet of curiosities.
19:57A display case that is filled with all sorts of gadgets.
20:01We like things that are small.
20:02Exactly.
20:02It's true ?
20:03Yeah.
20:04In its display case, I spotted a small fire truck from the 1950s.
20:07He was very nice.
20:09You see, it says that it comes from Japan.
20:11When was it made?
20:12From the 1950s.
20:21It's as if we've never played with it.
20:24The wheels didn't lock up and even the bell was still there.
20:27It was in perfect condition.
20:29What do you think it's worth?
20:31$50.
20:33And you ?
20:34And you ?
20:35Attract 40.
20:36That works for me.
20:37Deal concluded.
20:38A very beautiful object.
20:40And what is this?
20:41A medal bearing the image of Colonel Sanders?
20:44Yes, the Kentucky restaurateur.
20:46It's a golden head with a blue stone underneath.
20:49It must have been some kind of reward.
20:51It's a tie pin.
20:53When you're a bargain hunter, you value anything that's unusual.
20:56And for me, Colonel Sanders' tie pin was the most interesting object in the entire display case.
21:10Is it gold?
21:12I think so.
21:12Really ?
21:13How much are you selling it for?
21:1450.
21:1550 dollars?
21:16Yes.
21:17How much are you offering me?
21:18I don't know, 10 dollars.
21:20Make a counter-offer.
21:22Tell me $20, and I'll say $15 and everyone's happy.
21:26OK.
21:2715 dollars, Franck.
21:28Anything related to Colonel Sanders is being sought.
21:31I paid $15 for the pin, it must easily be worth $40.
21:38I paid $40 for a Japanese fire truck.
21:40I think it must be worth at least 150.
21:45We can't make a living selling items that cost $15, $20, or $30.
21:49We need something more substantial to sink our teeth into.
21:53Now that you've seen the kind of things that interested us,
21:56Do you have a good address for us in the area?
21:59To be honest, we've been in Kentucky for several days now.
22:01And we haven't made any big purchases yet.
22:05I know someone, but we'll have to convince him.
22:07His name is Jerry Lodge, he's a funny guy.
22:09I'm going to introduce it to you.
22:11He offered to introduce us to his friend Jerry.
22:13supposedly the godfather of bargain hunters.
22:15Okay, let's get going again.
22:17It's really kind of you to introduce us to this man.
22:19THANKS.
22:19You're welcome, guys.
22:20He got into his Impala and we followed him.
22:35I don't believe it.
22:37It's madness here.
22:38I'm sure we'll find what we're looking for.
22:40Right away, we saw that there was a wagon, a rooster,
22:43all sorts of eccentric objects.
22:45We were extremely confident.
22:46Hello, I'm Mike Wolfe.
22:48Jerry Lodge.
22:49Frank Faites, pleased to meet you.
22:50Super Schiner told us that you've been in the business for quite some time.
22:55Always.
22:56Really ?
22:56I am 72 years old and I have been collecting antiques since I was 8 years old.
23:00Huge.
23:01I was intimidated.
23:02He's quite muscular, not tall, but built like a fire hydrant.
23:05I'm going to have to go.
23:06I'll leave you with these gentlemen.
23:08Take care of them.
23:09Are you leaving us?
23:10Yes, I have a case.
23:11Thanks anyway.
23:12That made me happy.
23:14Until next time.
23:15All right.
23:15Can we take a short walk?
23:17Let's go.
23:17Here we go.
23:19What is your specialty?
23:20I am driven by emotion.
23:22I like big things.
23:23It shows.
23:25Do you think big?
23:28It's a bizarre and wacky place.
23:33I want to show you something.
23:35It's worth the detour.
23:37The BMW?
23:38Not bad.
23:39It's a 750, a 1957 model.
23:43There is reverse gear, the mechanism works.
23:45In one corner, there was a 1957 motorcycle with a sidecar, and it was equipped with a weapon.
23:50of war.
23:51It's a .50 caliber.
23:54When was she last driven?
23:57It's 5 years old and it's in perfect condition.
23:59That, I guarantee you.
24:00Awesome.
24:01Awesome.
24:01This motorcycle was in very good condition.
24:04Jerry said it worked, it might be the big find of our trip.
24:17How much would you sell it for?
24:19I'm asking for $9000.
24:20A 750 with reverse gear, you don't find one of those every day.
24:23It's a valuable bike.
24:25You can't make a profit if you pay $9000 for it.
24:28I didn't want to insult him, so I preferred to walk away.
24:31Thank you for showing it to us.
24:32She's gorgeous.
24:34But when Jerry led us inside, I thought we had discovered his cave of
24:38'Ali Baba.
24:40Not bad.
24:45Pretty classy, huh?
24:47At Jerry's, there really was everything.
24:48A stuffed bear, a racing car, all sorts of unusual things that interest us.
24:54For me, if an object is not unusual, strange or uncommon, I don't buy it.
24:58Frank deals in the unusual, the strange and the unconventional.
25:02Anything unusual, strange, or unconventional can always be sold.
25:05When something catches your attention in passing, it's because it fits this definition.
25:11Unusual, strange or unusual.
25:13You have to be extremely careful here.
25:22Jerry, what is this?
25:24I've spotted those two rifles.
25:26One-of-a-kind air rifles.
25:29Compressed air?
25:30Exactly.
25:30I must have had them for 35 or 40 years.
25:34I realized that I had never seen anything like it.
25:37They were BSA, a British arms manufacturer.
25:40These are very interesting pieces.
25:43I had never seen one before.
25:44Not with this mechanism.
25:56How many are you asking for?
25:57$500 for both.
25:58500 dollars?
25:59Are these original models?
26:01Quite.
26:03400 for both?
26:05450 at the limit.
26:07Is that your final answer?
26:08Yeah.
26:09450.
26:10When you see something unusual, you have to make a decision.
26:12I'll take them.
26:13They are yours.
26:14Great.
26:15They're not a recent phenomenon.
26:16This purchase allowed me to break the ice.
26:18I hope that after this, we can do some good business.
26:24And what about this propeller?
26:25I've had it for years.
26:27On the wall, there was a huge wooden airplane propeller.
26:29It was cracked, but it had a very beautiful patina.
26:32Where did you get it? At a flea market?
26:34I bought it from a guy who was moving a long time ago.
26:38How much are you charging for it?
26:40$650.
26:41And for $500?
26:42At that price, you can have it, even if I lose money.
26:45Okay, for 500?
26:46Yes, anyway, I paid 1500 for it.
26:49The propeller was a very good start.
26:50But we still have to find the right one.
26:53which will make the trip profitable.
26:58I love this bike.
27:00This is what I have been looking for for over 25 years.
27:04Jerry, tell me about this bike.
27:05I got it back two weeks ago.
27:07Two weeks?
27:08It's brand new.
27:09It came from a garage.
27:11Amazing.
27:11It is a self-cycle bicycle that was launched by the Schwinn company in 1936.
27:17This one dates from 1938.
27:19It is equipped with a double fork.
27:22It has become almost impossible to find.
27:24In 1938, that fork was still there.
27:27But the following year, it was replaced by a spring suspension system.
27:30which immediately caused a sensation.
27:33That's why the split fork has become very rare.
27:36Only about ten copies have been found.
27:39That shows how much.
27:42When I saw what model it was, I couldn't believe my eyes.
27:47Nothing is missing except the speedometer.
27:50And the two front lights.
27:52Mike did his best to hide his emotions.
27:55But I saw the lust in his eyes.
27:57He wanted that bike.
27:58That was clear.
27:59To be honest, I prefer them when they're still in their original state, like this one.
28:03I love it.
28:05I try not to show it, but I've been looking for a bike like this for 25 years.
28:09And there it is, I finally found one.
28:14I have a question.
28:15Now that we've started doing business, would you sell it?
28:21Knowing how Jerry sets his prices, I figure he's going to ask me for an exorbitant amount or even
28:26that he will want to keep it.
28:32I'll let you have it for a thousand and I know someone who wants it at that price.
28:36He knows its worth.
28:39He tells me that he has been offered a thousand dollars.
28:44Are you going to be given a thousand dollars?
28:45Yes.
28:46And you would sell it to me at the same price?
28:47He made me an offer, but he doesn't have the money yet.
28:50This was not the time to negotiate.
28:51I had to get that bike back by any means necessary.
28:55Jerry, will you let me have it for a thousand dollars?
28:57Yes.
28:58In cash?
28:59Yes.
28:59I'm interested.
29:00It's yours.
29:01Great, I love it.
29:03I have it.
29:04It's mine.
29:05He's great.
29:07We're leaving Kentucky with something other than fried chicken and bourbon.
29:10I spent $450 on air rifles and they're worth twice that.
29:15That's it.
29:17This propeller will interest someone looking to decorate their living room.
29:21It will be hung on a wall.
29:22I bought it for $500, I plan to resell it for $1000.
29:28Frank, you have no idea how rare this bike is.
29:30Well done, I like the painting.
29:32Good heavens, I can't believe it.
29:33This is the jackpot that Frank and I needed.
29:36With a bit of luck, we can resell this bike for $5000.
29:39It's a good day to be a bargain hunter.
29:43Hi, Jerry.
29:44Have a good trip.
29:45It's all good, thanks for everything.
29:47Take care.
29:49I helped them get some good deals.
29:50They made some amazing discoveries here.
29:53Alright, Jerry, see you next time.
30:01I don't know about you, but my 1938 autocycle with original paint and double fork makes me happy.
30:07I am happy.
30:08Not as much as me.
30:09I am happy.
30:13We are in Tennessee.
30:15We're going to visit a friend of mine, Ruby.
30:18She's a prop stylist who has some amazing stuff.
30:20It ranges from furniture to advertising panels.
30:23Will you need my long torso?
30:24Yes, definitely twice rather than once.
30:26So much the better.
30:27The great thing about dealing with a pro like Ruby is that she's not
30:30emotionally attached to her accessories.
30:33Even though they were used for a music video by Tricia Your Wood or Hank Williams Jr.
30:37It's his job to rent out items for this kind of occasion.
30:40But for the person to whom they will be resold, it's a real plus.
30:45I think it would be even better if it were a Lian Rimes music video.
30:48She's gorgeous.
30:52Are all these just accessories?
30:53Ruby!
30:55What are you doing here?
30:57We do business in Tennessee.
30:58Here's my friend Frankie.
31:00Good morning.
31:01Hello Franck, nice to meet you.
31:02Me too.
31:04I am a set decorator.
31:05For music videos, films, commercials, photo shoots.
31:10That's why I collect all this junk.
31:12It saves me from having to scour flea markets to find the accessories I need.
31:17Have you made any good finds recently?
31:19Yes.
31:19She buys as many as we do.
31:21In any case, it's big here.
31:23I immediately saw that she had a lot of large things.
31:26Perhaps we were right to come.
31:28It's huge.
31:30Yes.
31:31While strolling through the aisles, one discovers everything from copper fans to old armchairs or...
31:36old pottery.
31:37She really has everything.
31:39Did you make it yourself?
31:40I worked on the film Basic Instinct and I acquired these two chandeliers after filming.
31:45I reused them for the last Freddy Krueger.
31:48That's from me.
31:49A wrecking ball?
31:50It was for a photo shoot.
31:51The mannequins were swinging on it.
31:53That's not true.
31:55Taylor Swift's bed?
31:56Was the white bed Anne's?
31:58She scratched the paint.
32:01What was the purpose of those grids with all the lights?
32:04It was for a music video with Gwyneth Paltrow.
32:07It was super sexy.
32:10And what was that in?
32:11In a Leanne Rimes music video.
32:16I have a soft spot for Leanne Rimes and her music.
32:19And when Ruby showed us an accessory that came from one of her clips, I thought it was great!
32:22owl.
32:23He's a fan.
32:26Do you think you could call him on my behalf?
32:29No, she's very busy.
32:31And how much would you sell that clown for?
32:34$100.
32:35100 dollars?
32:37That's a bit much.
32:39And how much for the copper fan?
32:41There's no way I'm doing it for less than 150.
32:43Even at that price, it's a steal.
32:45Really ?
32:46Let's say 50 dollars?
32:48No.
32:49It's not cheap in Tennessee.
32:51I don't know what he expected when he came here.
32:53He probably thought I would fall for his charm offensive.
32:57But with me, it doesn't work like that.
33:00My accessories mean a lot to me.
33:04My chandeliers!
33:04Look, chandeliers.
33:05Nice.
33:06I used them for a Kelly Clarkson music video.
33:13Roughly how much are they worth?
33:16300.
33:17It was too expensive.
33:19In a song, Kelly Clarkson says her life would be nothing without her sweetheart.
33:23I don't need that kind of glamour in my life.
33:25I've turned the page.
33:28Mike didn't seem to appreciate the chandelier, even though it's quite nice enough to go in
33:32a castle.
33:35But that wasn't good enough for Mike.
33:37Is that from you?
33:38No not at all.
33:39That's great.
33:40I found it just as it was.
33:41How much are you selling it for?
33:43Do you want to keep it?
33:45I thought they were just accessories.
33:49What bothers me is that throughout the entire journey, you told me she would be ready to
33:52sell what she had.
33:54Since it's her job, I thought she wouldn't be attached to her accessories.
33:58I thought it would be like a big yard sale.
34:02How much for this old male?
34:03No.
34:05I'm not kidding, I'm very attached to this guy.
34:07There's no point in trying.
34:08You're attached to every little thing here.
34:10It's stupid to want to buy that.
34:12It's great to see the passion in her eyes when she talks about all her possessions.
34:17These objects mean at least as much to me as I mean to them.
34:20It's a reciprocal emotional bond.
34:23I don't like to part with what I love, and it happens to me.
34:27When I have a bill to pay, I sell something.
34:31What do you know about this seat?
34:33It looks very old.
34:34It's for polishing shoes.
34:36And you added the chair.
34:38But no.
34:39Yes, it does.
34:40No way.
34:41Yes, she did.
34:43No, I bought the base with the chair.
34:45The two went together.
34:48Mike annoyed me when he questioned the authenticity of the wax chair.
34:53It's sad that he doesn't realize the charm and age of this object.
34:57I like things that are old and things that are out of the ordinary.
35:00And this chair is very old.
35:01Where you were supposed to put your feet, the paint was completely gone.
35:05We imagine a shoe polisher shining some boots with his brush.
35:09That's Johnny Cash's America.
35:11How much is it worth?
35:13$300.
35:14I'll give you 200.
35:14This is a joke!
35:17Try to make an effort.
35:19275.
35:20I can do it for you at 295 and I lose 5 dollars.
35:23Okay.
35:25I almost didn't let her have it, but I'm not very attached to it.
35:28I've only had it for two or three years and I've already rented it out for a film shoot.
35:33She's much more attached to her stock than I thought.
35:36But we eventually broke the ice.
35:37She sold me something.
35:39The chair for waxing is nice and it allowed us to do business.
35:44There are still plenty of things to see.
35:47I've got the drive.
35:57Franck, have you seen his stuffed animals?
35:59Look, an articulated bear.
36:01Where is he from?
36:03When I was 20, I explored the attic of a cabin that had been abandoned for years
36:07And I found this bear there.
36:09Is 50 okay?
36:12If you promise to sell it to someone who will take care of it,
36:16I'm counting on you.
36:17It was an articulated bear, Steph, with a head.
36:19It's highly sought after.
36:27Franck, aim for that.
36:29That's cute.
36:31That thing with the lettering on it is cool.
36:34When we took the bus, we put the money inside.
36:37and it gave change.
36:38It says 15 cents on it.
36:40It's a very beautiful object.
36:41We've sold quite a few like that.
36:43Did they cost you a lot?
36:45We had to pay $20 each for them.
36:47Put that down right now.
36:49How many would you like?
36:50Definitely more than 20 dollars.
36:53If it works, I can go up to $40.
36:56Anything mechanical is likely to seize up.
37:01The lever could be operated, so it must have been in good condition.
37:05I'll buy it.
37:06I paid $40 for it, it's a very beautiful item.
37:09I should be able to resell it for $75.
37:13I like this armchair.
37:14It's not ordinary.
37:16Absolutely, he's classy.
37:17It doesn't look like a hairdresser's chair...
37:19It's a dentist's chair.
37:21I immediately fell in love with that dentist's chair.
37:23Nothing is missing.
37:25She had all the accessories.
37:27Have you seen the instruments?
37:29That's crazy.
37:38The dentist's equipment looked like it came straight out of a Lady Gaga music video directed by Tim Burton.
37:44That's cool, it pivots.
37:45That's where you spit.
37:48You spat in it.
37:49I thought you told me to spit.
37:50No, I said that's where we spit, that's all.
37:53That's incredible.
37:55It doesn't matter.
37:57Dental equipment is not for sale.
38:00Yes, it's been ages since I last used it.
38:03How much for the armchair and its accessories?
38:06I would say...
38:09$325.
38:10You deserve to be beaten.
38:12Let's say 300.
38:13I'm the one who's going to hit you. 310?
38:16Do we accept?
38:17$10 is the price of a pizza.
38:19That's broken.
38:21Oh, darn.
38:23What do we do?
38:24Okay, I'll leave you at 300.
38:27Okay, let's go.
38:28$300 it is.
38:32Okay, I hope I won't need one tomorrow.
38:36Dentist equipment is classy.
38:38The advantage is that here, you can find everything, and that's quite rare.
38:41At $300, I should be able to triple my investment on resale.
38:45It's worth getting it appraised before setting a price.
38:48Okay, now we pivot.
38:50My back hurts.
38:52Many collectors are into medical equipment, and this chair has a great look.
38:56I love it.
38:56I'm eager to find out how much it's really worth.
39:01This old bear was in bad shape, but he had a story.
39:04And Ruby was only asking for $50.
39:07If they offer me $150, I'll accept.
39:11We should always have this with us.
39:14Bye!
39:16I spent $295 on this retro gentleman's chair.
39:19I could probably make a profit of $250 from it.
39:24Are you glad we made it?
39:25Yes, thank you.
39:27It was nice to meet you.
39:28Me too, see you next time.
39:30It was nice to see Ruby again.
39:32I love seeing the kind of stuff she buys.
39:34And the way she transforms an ordinary object into something truly interesting.
39:38See you later, friends!
39:40I was glad they came.
39:42They took some interesting items from me, so I'm happy.
39:50Daniel arranged an appointment for us with an expert who will assess the dentist's chair.
39:54We're eager to know how much they're worth.
39:56This would be perfect for decorating a study.
39:59If you saw that on your way to the dentist, wouldn't you freak out?
40:02If you have a sensitive patient, you can offer to treat them the old-fashioned way.
40:06The situation calms down immediately.
40:08There's an antique shop, that must be it.
40:10Here ?
40:11Yes, you're right.
40:13It's a certain Scott, apparently specializing in retro medical equipment.
40:18Here we are, Scott!
40:20How are you ?
40:21It looks like it has some weight to it.
40:23It's as light as an anvil.
40:25Mike!
40:26Scott Nussbaum.
40:27Delighted.
40:27Did you speak with Daniel?
40:28Yes, I spoke to him yesterday.
40:30And there you have it.
40:31We've seen dentist chairs before, but without the accessories.
40:34I see.
40:35It's a Ritter brand product.
40:37The company that manufactured the chair and equipment is still in business today.
40:42Equipment from this brand is still used in most dental practices worldwide.
40:46whether it's for wheelchairs or equipment.
40:50The armchair itself was produced between 1917 and 1920.
40:55This was the first model with pivoting discs.
40:57There is a circular cast iron base to prevent it from tipping over.
41:00It's extremely heavy.
41:02We are aware of it.
41:07By 1917, they had electricity, compressed air, water, and hydraulic joints.
41:12Dentists are becoming practitioners equipped with all the modern equipment they needed.
41:16The essential question for us at this stage is...
41:19How much is it worth?
41:20That's a good question.
41:23We got it at a reasonable price.
41:25We don't have a dental clientele.
41:27We are targeting art directors or decorators.
41:32I see.
41:33It's worth less than you think.
41:36When he told us it was worth less than we thought, I remembered why I hated the
41:41dentist.
41:43The state must be taken into account.
41:44This armchair is in bad shape.
41:46Yes, there is tape.
41:48It looks like a great decorative item.
41:51Yes, especially since it has almost everything.
41:54I think there are few potential buyers.
41:56But there are a few nonetheless.
41:58With all the accessories, I would say the market price for an armchair in this state does not exceed
42:04$1000.
42:05All right.
42:06If it were restored, that would be a different story.
42:09We paid $300 for the whole set.
42:11They estimate it at 1000.
42:12Whenever we can double, or even triple, our bet, we are happy.
42:17Awesome.
42:17THANKS.
42:18You're welcome.
42:19These chairs are very popular with tattoo artists.
42:22because they have a hydraulic mechanism that allows you to adjust the height and tilt.
42:26We're going to take it back to the store.
42:28Daniel is going to give him a good beating.
42:30And with a bit of luck, it will find a buyer.
42:37That's too much.
42:38We came out of it alright.
42:40Downright.
42:40We came out of it well, even better than I expected.
42:43We made some money, and what's more, we'll go to bed a little wiser tonight.
42:46That will be useful for next time.
42:48Who knows when we'll end up in a dentist's chair again.
42:56You know, the other day I got stung from all sides, didn't you?
42:59No.
43:00Mosquitoes love me.
43:01You're lucky you escaped the emu.
43:03I know.
43:04Last night, I dreamt that he ripped your eyes out.
43:07I was walking down a dark corridor when an emu's head suddenly appeared.
43:10And you, you no longer had God.
43:11And you had lost your soul.
43:13I believe this bird is misunderstood.
43:16Like you ?
43:18Yeah.
43:18Here we go.
43:19Here we go.
43:19Here we go.
43:20Let's go!
