00:01You know, I am the daughter of a craftsman carpenter, Gary Delarios, and he
00:07recently retired and he gave me all his old tools and I kind of feel like he's
00:11sort of sad that no one's gonna carry on his legacy and sadly I never really
00:16learned any of those skills because I was too busy running around in the woods
00:20with my dogs. My dad, he is a true craftsman. I'm more of a crafts man I
00:27should have read that manual type. I want to carry on the legacy. So today I'm on
00:32the lookout for a fixer-upper and I'm determined to teach myself how to
00:38refurbish and upcycle something that would have ended up in the trash and I'm
00:43gonna make it into something magical. Make my papa proud.
00:50When storage units are abandoned, the treasures within
00:58are put up for auction. Are you excited for the auction? Yeah, I'm excited. I think I'm gonna focus on
01:15classic trash into cash. Well, let's not try to find trash. Oh, I want it to be good to start
01:22with.
01:22Yeah, exactly. But you know, sometimes the best things are the things that you can't see.
01:27There's usually a hint that tells you that there could be something good.
01:31You call it the tip of the iceberg. Yeah, I want to make that my slogan. I buy tips of
01:37icebergs. I'll be trash Houdini and you could be the ice queen. That's a pretty good one.
01:41It is a good one. I make trash disappear. Trash Houdini.
01:47I'm going to an auction today in West Covina, hoping to recoup some of my concert money because
01:53I went to Red Rock in Colorado and drove there and it was a freaking blast. I am running on
02:00fumes
02:01and adrenaline and I decided at my age I'm gonna just do cool s**t. Kids are grown, like why not,
02:08right? So I just got to make more money so I can keep going to concerts. You only have one
02:12life,
02:13right? Well, at least we're early. As a trash wizard, a trash magician, where I can wave a magic wand
02:22over a pile of garbage and turn it into money, that pile we bought here last time. There's your
02:27wand. It's not a wand. That's like one of those things to find gold, you know, that starts vibrating.
02:34I mean, I would take one of those. So here comes a fisherman. Why are you touching the weeds?
02:39Hi, fisherman. Do I pound or hug? I'm both. Because I want a side hugger.
02:45Good sir. Good morning. You should never answer my question. Oh, I told her I needed a magic wand
02:49that could turn a pile of garbage into money. That doesn't work. I get it. Watching me do this
02:55all the time must seem like magic to him. Hey. Hi, guys. Don't mind me. Why do you have a
03:01hammer?
03:01My dad, he's a carpenter, and he recently gave me all his old tools. So I'm going to...
03:08Fix stuff? I'm going to fix stuff. Thank you, Lupe. So basically, you're letting us know that
03:12you're going to pay money for scratched up dressers. Bingo. She's already showing her deck
03:17of cards. Yeah. What are we looking at, Lupe? What would this tell you in a storage how deep
03:21the storage is? This will tell me a lot of important information. How tall are you? Sure. Yeah,
03:26if we could get that information. I always wondered how tall I am. I'm putting her tools
03:30for the test. We're looking at 67 inches tall. Does that mean anything to you? Cool. That's
03:36obviously a number, but what does it mean for a human? You know what? I got a gift for you
03:43gals. I have a little fan, and it gets hot. You don't have to use it now, or if you
03:47want
03:47to do it when you get in the car or whatever. I like it. But what color do you like?
03:51Hmm.
03:52This one. Perfect. Purple it is. Purple. Thank you. Purple. You're welcome. Appreciate it.
03:56Lisa, I have a present for you. You have a present for me? Yes. So do you like pink or
04:00green?
04:01Laura. Yes. It's a little thing. Well, maybe green. It matches your glasses. No, green, green,
04:06green. Green, green, green. I'm your number one fan. Wow, Laura. It's almost like a comforting
04:11mosquito. A comforting mosquito? Brandi, welcome to the auction. You get presents. This is for
04:18you. Oh, I love you for this. Yes, you're welcome, y'all. Is this my menopause special? Yes. Cheers to
04:26that,
04:26sister. Ivy, this is a gift for you. Wow. Wow. Oh, I love this one, too. No strings attached. I
04:34love it.
04:35You didn't say it. Spoke. All right. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.
04:40Oh, wow. All right. Welcome to the auction. We're Dan and Laura Dotson with American Auctioneers. Before
04:48you go through these gates, you need to know the rules. You're going to go to the unit, remove
04:51the lock, open the door, give you five minutes to take a look around. You can't go inside. You can't
04:55open any boxes. And who's ever got the most money in their pocket can own it today. Are you ready?
04:59Yeah. Yeah. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. All right. Let's go. Woo.
05:04Woo. Oh, easy. Open. Bye-bye, Dan. Good job, Laura.
05:20Okay. First jewelry. That's not jewelry. That's Christmas. You have a toaster oven. There's
05:25a hope chest. I love hope chests. You never know. I mean. Potentially. There is a hope chest.
05:30Does it give us hope? Yes. Look at that. Looks like a few little
05:34random household items. Trunk. All right. How's that? Is that good? I like that it's
05:42kind of tidy in here. I like the rug. I like this little basket, too. I could carry my littles
05:48in that. Okay. We got a little piece of furniture there. Looks like it could use a little coat
05:55of paint. You know what they say, measure twice and bid once. But you know what the Japanese say?
05:59No. The nail that sticks out gets hammered. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I think I might
06:05have broken Dan's brain with that one. Okay. We got some photos, a couple of purses, tabletop.
06:13Oh, a beautiful big rug. So I'm going to bid on this one.
06:16All right. We got a big old nice rug unit. Here we go. Number 20. What's your pleasure?
06:20What are you going to pay? Say how much? 25. I got 25. Number 50. 1050. Right there.
06:24I got 75. I got 75. 100. I got 100 bucks here. One and a quarter. Where? I got one
06:28and a quarter.
06:29A hundred and a half. I got 150. 175 now. 75. What about 22? I got 200. Two and a
06:33quarter.
06:33Two and a quarter there. Two and a half. What about 250? I get 250 here. 75 now.
06:37And 250 up front. She's hitting it. No. 275. Oh, and what's price? What about 275?
06:44That was nice of Ivy to not bid against me again. I mean, I did give him a gift.
06:50What? No. Of course I didn't do it on purpose. I think this locker might have a little bit of
06:56everything. I got a trunk I can fix up and a really, I think it's a good rug and all
07:01sorts
07:02of mystery. All right. I'm excited.
07:10Hey, it's fan abuse. Don't be jealous. You're my fan. She's jealous because you don't have
07:18a fan. Something wrong with you.
07:26The moment of truth. All right. Inside unit. 10 by 10. Wow. Oh, wow. There you go.
07:33Oh, yeah. There you are. There you go.
07:39Smells like a pack of hot dogs in here. It smells real weird in here.
07:43It's got tools. Lawn mowers? They're not cheap.
07:46Ah, but people use electric now. That's the problem.
07:48What? What's that? Speakers?
07:50I'm trying to find the ice cream. No, there is no tip in this one.
07:53If I need to start a gardening business, this might be good.
07:57What's in that cool suitcase? Some cult fiction s***.
08:01What do we got here? What does Carpenter Lisa see?
08:04Can't fix up a TV. Tires. But I mean, the bike's kind of cool and funky.
08:09Oh, God. I almost touched it. I got ahead of myself.
08:12Oh, yeah. Yeah. If I keep using this thing, eventually it will make sense.
08:17That's an odd unit. You got high heels and tools.
08:20Usually you don't see that. They don't go together.
08:22Ooh, I bet you that's a $300 beach cruiser.
08:25Weedwhackers look to be in decent used condition.
08:27Motor. Got a little chainsaw there.
08:29This room is small, but a lot of money in it.
08:31I wish I knew what was under that blanket.
08:33All right. I got a big, a nice heel and weedwhacker unit.
08:37Here we go. Now it's money. What are you going to pay?
08:38Say it? Come on.
08:39How much money? Where? To give me $100 on the floor.
08:40I'm one there. $100 and a half. Give me $150.
08:42$150 now, too. What about today? What about two where?
08:44I'll get two there. Two and a half. Two and a half.
08:46Two and a half. Three. $300. Three. What about three and a half?
08:47I get three and a half for that. What about four?
08:49I got 400 bucks. Four and a quarter. 425. Four and a quarter. 425.
08:52425. Going once, twice. And 425 and a half.
08:54You got it. Ivy. 400 bucks, Ivy.
08:56Woo!
08:58I've seen your yard. You ain't we whacking nothing?
09:00Nope. Some guys play the market, but I prefer a long-term investment.
09:05Well, let's dig into it and see what we got.
09:08I got lights, lens, candles, shoes, CDs. Probably a $10 box.
09:14Pots and pans. Another $10 here.
09:17Ooh, an edger.
09:19Or what we say in the hood, a little minibike engine.
09:22This right here will sell really quick for $100
09:24because everybody where I live puts those in minibike engines,
09:28and they're the thing right now.
09:29Size 17 is a little small, but still a good $50.
09:33Ooh, a Toro. Good brand.
09:35Alrighty. That's a good $100 right there.
09:38Old school beach cruiser.
09:39Got a place to put your beer or your non-alcoholic beverage.
09:43Got the old school pedal brakes, which everybody wants.
09:45Even got the fender with the light on it.
09:47Bam!
09:48They usually go about $300.
09:49All these tires right here.
09:51$20 a pop.
09:52$20, $40, $60.
09:54Just a combo lock.
09:55Not good.
09:57Ooh, that's not good.
09:58When you can pick it up with a pinky.
10:01Oh, wait a minute.
10:03Hey!
10:05Secret compartment.
10:07Un-secret compartment, I guess you could say.
10:09Hello!
10:11Anybody in there?
10:13It's broken, so no money.
10:16It's a good-looking TV.
10:17Nice and thin.
10:18Probably about a 48-incher.
10:21Easy $150 there.
10:23Alrighty.
10:25I'm in the black.
10:26On the black.
10:27And black.
10:28Always bet on black.
10:31Ugh.
10:31What do we got in there?
10:32Something good?
10:33Something maybe?
10:34Oh, well.
10:36And no money.
10:38Three speakers.
10:39$40 easy.
10:40Ooh.
10:41This looks like it might have been an old-school blower that you put in your back or something.
10:46I don't know.
10:46Maybe I can turn it into a flamethrower.
10:49Maybe it'll wind up jetpacks.
10:51Kind of propeller back here and you fly.
10:54Well, $50.
10:57This one right here open up.
10:59Oh, kind of cool.
11:00Kind of slides back.
11:01Something slides back too good, but it does slide back.
11:03Wow.
11:04What we got here?
11:05Ooh.
11:10Oh, kind of cool.
11:11It kind of slides back.
11:12Something slides back too good, but it does slide back.
11:15Wow.
11:15What we got here?
11:16Ooh.
11:18Childhood days.
11:20Oh, damn.
11:22Got a guy walking up the way before the drive home.
11:24Guess I get to go home sleepy.
11:25Back in my day, we used to lick batteries for fun.
11:28The internet wasn't invented yet.
11:30Well, this and the whole case, everything in it, $50.
11:35Transmissions are sought after GM products.
11:37$30 on that one.
11:39$25 on that one.
11:41Electric edger.
11:42Looks pretty good condition.
11:43$25.
11:44These guys.
11:45Weed whackers.
11:46It's summertime.
11:46Weeds are growing like crazy.
11:47They look to be in really good condition.
11:49That one missing the cover.
11:50$50 there.
11:51That one missing the cover.
11:53$40.
11:54Ooh.
11:55It's a good looking one here.
11:56$25.
11:58And last but not least.
12:00Oop.
12:01No money there.
12:02Oh well.
12:03Take my little profit and be on my way.
12:05Decent locker.
12:06Good profit.
12:07But I didn't come here to stop it good.
12:09Time to get back.
12:16Woo!
12:18Okay.
12:19It's like my closet.
12:24Very, very odd unit.
12:25Some bikes.
12:27Clothes, jeans.
12:28Baseball baths.
12:30Very, very interesting unit right here.
12:32Yeah, those look like actually some vintage Levi's.
12:35I'm not really seeing any refurbishing projects, but I see a lot of mystery.
12:40I'm going to just grab those jeans and run.
12:43There's a lot of stuff hiding in here.
12:45There's a lot of items.
12:46I see a folding table.
12:48And then there's furniture on the box, a bicycle.
12:51I don't know.
12:52I'm leaving it up to you.
12:54Oh, there is a Chicago Bears hat.
12:56I am a fan.
12:56I don't know if you knew that.
12:58I didn't, but I'm glad you are.
13:00A drum stool.
13:01Maybe there's more instruments in here.
13:02You could put the whole band back together.
13:04We're getting the air band back together, you know?
13:06All right.
13:06I'm going to play the jugs.
13:10I'm not touching that.
13:12Nope.
13:15All right.
13:15Here we go.
13:16Number 20.
13:16When are you going to pay?
13:16Say it.
13:17How much?
13:17How much?
13:17How much?
13:18Where?

13:24You're at a 2 and a half.
13:24Mammon.
13:24One of a 3.
13:253 and a 3 there.
13:26And 3 and a half.

13:354 to 75 going to one surprise.
13:36Say it.
13:364 to 75 and a half.
13:37Don't let your way, Brandi.
13:38You got it for her.
13:39400.
13:40Woo!
13:40You got it, Brandi.
13:41There you go.
13:45I'm giving headliner energy.
13:47And I didn't even break a sweat.
13:50Something's good.
13:51I know it.
13:51I just know it.
13:55Uh-oh.
13:56These are big doors.
13:58These are granddaddy lockers.
14:03Oh, big door all the way up.
14:08Yes.
14:08Wow, Cleopatra.
14:10It's got some antiques, some goodies for you.
14:12Wow, that's gothic.
14:14Furnitures.
14:15Big door, big bill.
14:19Oh, man.
14:20Look at all this antique furniture.
14:22I like this old dresser here.
14:24That could definitely use a little sanding and polishing.
14:27There's little Tiffany lamps.
14:29A cart to tote it all home in.
14:32This is a really good locker.
14:34Actually, the only thing that I don't like about this locker is it's going to be really expensive.
14:38All right.
14:39Got a lot of old, expensive furniture in here.
14:42Love the granny cart.
14:43It's one of my most favorite things on earth.
14:44A little yoga mat.
14:45Love those.
14:46Ooh, I love that old pot right there.
14:47That is the sweetest statue I've ever seen.
14:50I put that in my front yard and just watch birds land on it all day.
14:53And Debbie, you, sweetie.
14:54Love angels.
14:55Angels remind me of myself.
14:57I love the ottomans.
14:59The wardrobe is amazing.
15:01These Tiffany lamps in the back.
15:04It's going to go for a lot, but maybe I'll dabble and see what happens.
15:09I like it.
15:10There's a little bit of boxes.
15:11There's an art piece.
15:14There's a lot of potential.
15:16You like it?
15:16Yeah.
15:17It's interesting.
15:18All right.
15:19I'm going to be going nice.
15:2012 by 20 unit full of furniture.
15:21Here we go.
15:22How much money?
15:22Who give you a hundred bucks?
15:23Got a hundred bucks there.

15:43I'm gonna call it.
15:43Seven a half, all the end of through.
15:44All through, all done.
15:45Gotta go.
15:47Dusty.
15:48Lupe got it for 700.
15:50We stole it.
15:51I feel like a thief.
15:53Only 700 for that locker?
15:54I can't believe he got it for that.
15:56It's like he just pulled that out of thin air.
15:58That's not just a win.
16:00That's Wizardry.
16:01Magic.
16:02Folks, that's the end of the auction.
16:04And don't forget to pay the ladies.
16:05It's me in the office, everyone.
16:07You ready to see what we just stole?
16:08Yeah, I can't believe we got so cheap.
16:10Look at this box.
16:12It's empty.
16:13That's nice, though.
16:14$75.
16:15It's decorative angel.
16:17$50.
16:17Yeah, definitely.
16:19It's kind of heavy, but not as heavy as it looks.
16:21I mean, it looks like concrete.
16:23$50.
16:24Good old campfire beans.
16:26Nice.
16:27It's nice.
16:28A little cast iron kettle.
16:29$50.
16:31See, they're scarves.
16:32Designer scarf.
16:33They'll save at least, like, $150.
16:35Ooh, these are bags.
16:37I love these little jewelry bags.
16:39When these bags have jewelry, they always have really good jewelry.
16:43This one, actually, I hear noise.
16:46Oh.
16:46You're dropping stuff.
16:48Oh.
16:49Really?
16:50Oh.
16:51Really?
16:51It looks pretty good.
16:56This one, actually, I hear noise.
17:00Oh.
17:00You're dropping stuff.
17:02Oh.
17:03Really?
17:04Oh.
17:04Oh, it looks pretty good.
17:07Wait a minute.
17:08Ooh.
17:09This looks real.
17:11Yeah.
17:11Wow.
17:12Look at this one's 22 carat.
17:1322?
17:14Look how dark the mustardy color is.
17:16It's going to be 22 to 24 carat, this bracelet.
17:18Wow.
17:18You're excited.
17:19Oh, yeah.
17:20There's more.
17:21Oh.
17:22Oh.
17:23Oh.
17:24Oh.
17:24Oh.
17:24Oh.
17:25Oh.
17:25Oh.
17:26Oh.
17:26Let my broken head calculate this math real quick.
17:29The pretty earrings and the sellable pieces.
17:31Mm-hmm.
17:32Easily 40 grams.
17:33This is 2,500 minimum.
17:36Really?
17:36And today's gold price.
17:37Did I not say these bags are my favorite?
17:40I do.
17:40I know.
17:40These type of bags always yield sweet, precious metals.
17:45Oh, here's like a treadmill we got your mom.
17:47Easy to store.
17:48You could put it in the closet.
17:49Mm-hmm.
17:4950 bucks.
17:50Yeah.
17:51Oh, this is nice.
17:52Size or lacquer, little brass embellishments.
17:54I would say this is at least from the 60s or 70s.
17:56We'll price it 300.
17:59Oh, we got a nice crystal.
18:00What brand is it?
18:01Gorham.
18:02Gorham's a great brand.
18:03This is not cheap Stemware.
18:05I think I could get at least 200 for all this.
18:07This is actually a really good brand.
18:09And this is all Royal Albert.
18:10Ooh, from England.
18:11We have two 20-piece sets.
18:13It's 200 a box.
18:14Christmas stuff.
18:16Ooh, people like nutcrackers.
18:17Don't scare me.
18:18They scare you?
18:19Yeah, I'm terrified of nutcrackers.
18:21Oh, you're not, really?
18:22They crack nuts.
18:2450 bucks worth of stuff.
18:25These are new decorative Tiffany-style lamps.
18:28100 bucks a piece.
18:29Antique mirrors, framed artworks.
18:32There's at least another 100 bucks right there.
18:33Okay.
18:34Oh, this one looks fun.
18:35What is it?
18:37Little handbags.
18:38Lupe, you got me on the old ball and change.
18:40I do.
18:42Want some grapes?
18:43Hold these purses.
18:45How much?
18:45You're the purse expert.
18:46$2.50.
18:48What about these?
18:49Those are nice.
18:50They're heavy.
18:51It's stained glass.
18:52Wow, those are really cool.
18:54Maybe if they're a real Tiffany, they'd be signed.
18:55Those are nice.
18:56The whole in the sun.
18:57Are they all the same?
18:58Yeah, and none of them are broken.
18:59No cracks.
19:00I mean, at least 500 bucks.
19:04What's that?
19:05Christmas decor.
19:06You'd probably make 100 bucks off all those.
19:08Okay.
19:09Dishes, 20 bucks?
19:10Easily.
19:11The carts, there's two carts.
19:13$15 each.
19:14This one looks old.
19:15The folk art-style lamp.
19:16I like the patina.
19:17Yeah, it's cool.
19:18At least like 100 bucks.
19:20This is like a Tiffany-style lamp.
19:21You can just feel it.
19:22Ooh.
19:23$75.
19:24So how about this piece of furniture?
19:26Well, you know, honestly, I'm seeing multiple things in here that look like older furniture.
19:32But I know just the perfect person.
19:35Our friends from the Pasadena Antique Center.
19:38Oh, yeah.
19:38They'd be perfect.
19:39Well, let's analyze everything we have here, and then we'll give them a call when we go to lunch.
19:44Okay.
19:44Yeah.
19:45And I'm hungry.
19:46Oh, yeah.
19:46Good job.
19:49All right.
19:52I paid $4.50 for this bad boy.
19:55He better end up being a good boy.
19:59All right.
20:00Is this someone's leftovers?
20:02Ew.
20:06Gross.
20:08Oh, I probably should have got some gloves, huh?
20:11Where are you going to put that?
20:13Bend over, and I'll show you.
20:15All right.
20:16Oh, look.
20:17It's like a little baby one.
20:18It's so cute.
20:19It's my size.
20:21Wait.
20:23That's perfect.
20:25$5.
20:26Lay on the jugs.
20:29All right.
20:29Let's see what we got in our suitcase.
20:35Oh.
20:37Pears jersey.
20:38Who we got?
20:38Who we got?
20:39Who we got?
20:39Oh, Walter Payton.
20:40$30.
20:41All right.
20:42This is a nice one.
20:44This chair.
20:45$40.
20:46I don't know where one acquires a giant orange mattress cover.
20:51You think it wasn't orange when they got it?
20:53It's got a little patina on it.
20:57Oh.
20:59Ugh.
20:59No value.
21:02Oh, I like this.
21:03This is very innovative.
21:04Here's a little beanie for seat cover.
21:06Keep your biscuits soft.
21:08No money.
21:09A little air conditioning unit.
21:10Probably get $40 for the AC.
21:13Lisa thought she was the only one.
21:14Guess what?
21:16Look at that.
21:17I can keep mine up.
21:20Five bucks.
21:25Oh, my God.
21:26Did you see that reflex?
21:27Because that was embarrassing.
21:29Does anybody want a pizza?
21:32It's a pizza.
21:35That is a first, ladies and gentlemen.
21:38I have never found a pizza in a locker.
21:41Definitely get appraisal on this bad boy.
21:43Folding table.
21:45$20 for that.
21:46That's a nice one.
21:50It's sturdy.
21:52Oh.
21:53It's a very nice bag.
21:58Oh, f**k.
22:03It's a very nice bag.
22:06Oh, f**k.
22:07Hold on.
22:10Look at this.
22:12Look at this.
22:13Huh.
22:14These are beautiful.
22:16I love boxing.
22:18Grew up with it.
22:20My grandpa was a boxer.
22:22The bell looks like a t***.
22:28All right.
22:29Maybe this locker's starting to redeem itself.
22:31Got a t*** bell.
22:32This bag is super nice.
22:34It's boxing gear, but it's old.
22:36It's nice.
22:37I bet that this is worth some money.
22:40And I am definitely going to find somebody to tell me about this because I got to make my money
22:46back.
22:46That was the whole point of this day.
22:47I came here to recoup what I lost on my trip.
22:52Let's see.
22:53This is garbage.
22:57Cast irons.
22:58Oh, these are cool.
22:59I love these.
23:00Look at these.
23:00These are great.
23:02$75.
23:08Talk about a junk drawer.
23:11I think we might be at the end of this.
23:14So, phone a friend about the boxing gear and take a shower.
23:21I got to find out what these items are worth, but maybe I should take up boxing.
23:26I think I know a guy.
23:28Ivy.
23:29Oh, thank God.
23:29You're still here.
23:30Yeah.
23:32I got some boxing gear.
23:33I just wondered if you wanted to take a look at it and tell me if you know anything about
23:37it.
23:37Sounds good.
23:38Look at this.
23:39Some head gear.
23:40Real leather stuff, too.
23:41With a mouth protector.
23:42Look at this.
23:43Oh, old school head gear.
23:44I know.
23:45Wow.
23:45Look how pretty these gloves are.
23:47I don't know if they're pretty no more.
23:48Look at this guy.
23:49I'm going to sit it right here.
23:51It's working.
23:53So, you know the first thing about boxing, right?
23:54What's the first thing?
23:55Chin down.
23:56Oh, yeah.
23:57That's the most delicate part.
23:58Keep your chin down, so no matter what happens, chin down, you're safe.
24:01Well, you take this stuff, find out what it's worth, then come by Grandma's attic, and I'll show you how
24:06to use it.
24:06Okay.
24:07I'm down.
24:13$2.50 for this locker.
24:15I don't need a hammer to tell me that I nailed it.
24:20So little and tidy.
24:21I love it.
24:22Okay.
24:23Let's just dive right in.
24:25Woo!
24:27Okay.
24:28I might just start with this fun rug, because this rug really caught my eye.
24:33It's giant, and antique rugs go for quite a bit of money, but let's just see how it looks.
24:40Woo!
24:41That's why Mama does Pilates.
24:43Woo!
24:44Yes, this is definitely a nice rug.
24:47We've got some nice colors.
24:49There's clearly no stains.
24:51Just clean it up, and it's almost in mint condition.
24:54This is a $700 rug.
24:57Slam dunk.
24:58Well, I really pulled the rug out from underneath them, didn't I?
25:01What's this?
25:02This looks kind of funky and old.
25:04Oh, is it a sewing machine?
25:06Free the machine!
25:07Ooh!
25:0850 bucks.
25:11Okay.
25:13Box.
25:13Oh, DVDs.
25:1550 bucks.
25:17Toaster oven with all the fixings.
25:2065 bucks.
25:22Oh.
25:22Oh.
25:23It's like circle time.
25:24It's a circle time mat.
25:2510 bucks.
25:2650 bucks.
25:27All right.
25:28Children's bucks.
25:2950 bucks for the bin of children's bucks.
25:33Hey, look.
25:34These go with my outfit.
25:35These are pretty new.
25:37Cute little sneakers.
25:3825 bucks.
25:39If there's anything in here worth looking at.
25:42All right.
25:43What's in this?
25:45Uh, I hope this isn't a fruitcake.
25:50Oh, that's kind of cool.
25:51It's like a Lucite pyramid.
25:55Yeah.
25:56And then this, um, this is kind of a cool box.
26:00I don't...
26:00It's made out of some sort of stone.
26:04Ooh.
26:05Kind of gem jewelry.
26:07Who doesn't love gem jewelry?
26:08It's California.
26:10I like to call this crystal woo-woo power.
26:12But you know what?
26:13These could be super valuable stones.
26:16I just don't know.
26:17So maybe I should find some woo-woo-ologist
26:20who could tell me how much these are worth.
26:22Whoa, whoa.
26:23I am not disparaging the woo-woo community.
26:26Don't come after me, witches.
26:29Moving on.
26:30Oh, Lego kit.
26:31$25.
26:34This looks like workout DVDs.
26:37$50.
26:38Hmm.
26:39A little assortment of items in here.
26:42A little puffer coat.
26:43$20 online.
26:45And the lady clogs.
26:47$40.
26:49Hell, yeah.
26:50We got some cowboy boots.
26:52$60.
26:54Uh...
26:55All right, here's some girly dunks.
26:56Nikes.
26:57$25.
26:59$25.
27:00Some more cute lady clogs.
27:02$40.
27:03Mary Jane's.
27:05$25.
27:06Hush puppies.
27:08$25.
27:10All right, this box is less exciting.
27:13Ooh, hang on, hang on, hang on.
27:17All right, this box is less exciting.
27:20Ooh, hang on, hang on, hang on.
27:22All right, this box is less exciting.
27:22I was wrong.
27:24What the heck?
27:26I'm guessing some Middle Eastern carafe.
27:30Oh, it's like the genie lamp.
27:32How do you get a wish out of a container?
27:34Do you rub it or do you spank it?
27:36I guess it depends on what the genie's into.
27:39And then, okay, so we've got serving glasses.
27:42This is some sort of whole Turkish coffee serving set.
27:46I'm gonna say $125 for the whole set.
27:49I love this little bag.
27:50Take it to the farmer's market.
27:52But that's a $20 bag.
27:54Christmas decorations, $20.
27:58Ooh, ooh, ooh.
28:00This is something I like.
28:01I don't know if it's a knockoff or what.
28:03It says it's a coach bag and it's got a number on it.
28:06So this is actually a real coach bag, $75.
28:10That's cute.
28:12Five bucks.
28:13Ah, there we go.
28:16Take a little mid-locker nap.
28:21Some sort of really cool tapestry.
28:23Definitely vintage.
28:25I'm gonna say $150.
28:27Okay, here we got some pottery.
28:29Little ceramic carafe.
28:31More pottery.
28:32Okay, it does have a stamp.
28:34It looks like Arabic.
28:37For these two, I'm gonna say $100.
28:40Ah, my fixer-upper.
28:43Okay, well, first let's see if there's anything good in here.
28:45Bunch of stuffed animals.
28:47$20.
28:48This is actually the main reason I bought this locker.
28:50So I know exactly what I'm gonna do with this trunk.
28:52I'm gonna repurpose it, refurbish it, upcycle it.
28:56And I definitely made my money back and then some.
29:00I've got my fixer-upper.
29:01And then I've got my woo-woo jewelry that I can find out how much that's worth.
29:05And I'd say I pretty much crushed it, nailed it.
29:10This gal did not get screwed.
29:16Oh, look, they're here.
29:18Yay!
29:18Yay, we made it!
29:19Daryl Fisher and Leah McNabb are here from the Pasadena Antique Center to check out our locker.
29:24These two have probably forgotten more about antiques than I've ever learned.
29:27Absolutely.
29:28We got some furniture.
29:29Only the finest for the Pasadena Antiques Center.
29:32There you go.
29:32Yes.
29:32We only take the finest.
29:34That's right.
29:35Step into my office.
29:36Nice Italian chest.
29:38That's a beautiful armoire.
29:40Probably 1890s?
29:431910?
29:44Yeah, late 19th century, for sure.
29:45Oh, wow.
29:46Why does it have all these little holes in it?
29:48That's a...
29:49European wormwood.
29:50Wormwood?
29:51Really?
29:51That's what you want to see.
29:53Yeah.
29:53If it's not there, then you have to ask questions.
29:55So it's not like moth holes on a sweater?
29:58It is not.
29:58It's just something that you'll always see on good early pieces.
30:02There's no worms in it still, is there?
30:04No.
30:04No, no, no.
30:05They're gonna be pretty dead.
30:06Yep.
30:07Okay.
30:07This is the mirror for the dresser.
30:09A set is really nice to have because people oftentimes want the whole set.
30:13But if you wanted to make the most of the money, you'd break them up.
30:17Does it ever make you feel sad to break up something that's been together for like a hundred years?
30:20We usually don't break them up.
30:22Unless they offer us money.
30:25The dresser, 20s, 30s American, with lots of carving and design, fancy mirrors, fancy
30:33parquetry patterns.
30:34This is really nice.
30:35It's a Victorian oil lamp.
30:37You can see the plot where the oil would have gone in.
30:40Look at the chain.
30:41It has little wheels.
30:42What the chain does is the lamp's hanging from the ceiling and you move that weight.
30:47It's a counterbalance.
30:48Yeah.
30:49The lamp will come down.
30:50You can light the oil lamp and then you lower it and the lamp goes up.
30:53And this is really amazing that it still exists because obviously it's glass.
30:59And original.
30:59It's going to be original.
31:01So the fact that they're not broken is pretty good.
31:04It's a miracle.
31:05Yeah.
31:05Well, what about this bench?
31:07Is that something that would sell in the center?
31:09Absolutely.
31:11Decorative sells all the time.
31:13And it's beautiful shape.
31:15The size will fit in so many places that big items won't fit in.
31:19Wow.
31:20I really like this.
31:21It is decorative.
31:22It's clean.
31:23Maybe 60s or 70s, would you think?
31:26Yeah.
31:27It's complete.
31:28It's a great little set.
31:30I would definitely have it in my shop.
31:31With everything you see, with the bedroom sets and the small sets and the lamp, what
31:37would you say for everything?
31:38All of it together?
31:41Only good numbers.
31:43I'd say that you have 7,000.
31:49Wow.
31:49We didn't get bamboozled on this one.
31:52Get it, Lupe.
31:53Congratulations.
31:55It's always a pleasure.
31:56I'll bring it in.
32:02I'm taking a day trip to Topanga Rocks in, of course, Topanga Canyon.
32:08Author and spiritual teacher, Elizabeth April, is going to give me a mystical masterclass.
32:14I hope she vibes on these crystals I found in my locker.
32:17Are you Elizabeth?
32:19Oh, hi.
32:20Yes, I am.
32:22Lisa?
32:22I am Lisa.
32:23Nice to meet you.
32:23Nice to meet you.
32:24I'm actually Elizabeth.
32:25That's my birth name, but I go by Lisa.
32:27I love that name.
32:28Yes, right?
32:29It's a great name.
32:30Yeah.
32:30Well, I have some kind of groovy items.
32:35All right.
32:36All right.
32:36Let's check out what you got.
32:37So are you aware of what any of this is?
32:41Rocks?
32:42Gems?
32:43Oh, you're close.
32:44Let's just take a look at this.
32:46This is called Organite.
32:47Okay.
32:48So this is man-made.
32:49You've got resin, which kind of brings everything together.
32:52And then you've also got crystals in here as well.
32:54Typically, they use copper, aluminum, sometimes brass.
32:58And that's because they're very conductive.
33:01Oh.
33:01So the point of Organite is to move the energy from a room.
33:05Okay.
33:06So you're trying to get energy out of a room.
33:08Out.
33:08Yes, you are.
33:09I like that.
33:09Yeah.
33:10So if you're having a bad day, you know, just some bad vibes, this is going to do the trick
33:14for you.
33:15Maybe post-breakup?
33:16Yeah, post-breakup for sure.
33:18Yeah.
33:18Okay, good to know.
33:18Get the ice cream, grab some Organite.
33:20Or both.
33:21Or both.
33:22Yeah, that works too.
33:23This looks like selenite.
33:25You can tell by the shine on it.
33:27Selenite is a crystal.
33:29What's really cool about selenite is that it will clear its own energy.
33:34Oh.
33:34So all these other crystals have to be cleared either by sage or moonlight.
33:40That's why they make containers like this out of selenite.
33:43And you put all your crystals in it to clear the energy of those crystals.
33:47Oh, so it not only clears its own energy, but it clears the energy...
33:51Of other things.
33:52Of other things.
33:53Yes, absolutely.
33:54If only I could fit in that box.
33:55Yeah, exactly.
33:56So I guess selenite is like a tool that refurbishes your soul.
34:02Far out, man.
34:04Now, what do you have here?
34:07Jewelry.
34:08Wow.
34:09This is absolutely incredible.
34:11It is?
34:12Grab a flashlight here.
34:14This looks like Moldavite.
34:16Look how green it is.
34:18Yeah.
34:19So if you see that coloration there...
34:21Wow.
34:22It's a really good indication that we've got some authentic Moldavite here.
34:25And these are really big pieces.
34:28So even though people consider Moldavite to be one of the most powerful crystals out there...
34:32Is that right?
34:33It's actually not a crystal.
34:34Okay.
34:35It's considered a tektite because 15 million years ago...
34:40Right?
34:42A meteor hit southern Germany, and that's where all of the Moldavite comes from.
34:47One location from one major meteorite.
34:50It's scarce.
34:51It's super rare.
34:52Oh, Elizabeth.
34:54This is exciting.
34:54Although...
34:55I'm also curious.
34:57What are the...
34:58What are the powers?
35:00So, people experience some very weird things when they hold Moldavite.
35:06Oh, I like this.
35:08Because it is the offspring of meteorite, and meteorite comes from space, a lot of people claim that it has
35:15connection to extraterrestrials.
35:18People have claimed to hold it and get something called a Moldavite flush.
35:23So they'll get super lightheaded, or maybe get a hot flash, or a tingly sensation across their body.
35:29Not menopause.
35:30No.
35:31Moldavite.
35:31Yeah, exactly.
35:32Okay, okay.
35:33Okay.
35:34Well, so now that we've gotten the supernatural stuff, what are you thinking about the monetary, the green aura of
35:44these goods?
35:45You've got some good stuff here.
35:47Moldavite is super rare, hard to come across, and you've got some absolutely beautiful pieces.
35:54So for everything here...
36:01You've got some good stuff here.
36:03Moldavite is super rare, hard to come across, and you've got some absolutely beautiful pieces.
36:10So for everything here...
36:14You've got about $1,300 here.
36:17Mmm.
36:19Thank you so much.
36:20You're welcome.
36:21Thanks for coming in.
36:22Mmm.
36:24I feel it.
36:25I feel it.
36:31This is exciting.
36:32I'm at Brick City Boxing to show my retro gear to owner Joe Hanks.
36:35He's a former professional boxer, and frankly, kind of a big deal.
36:44Hey.
36:45Hey.
36:46Joe.
36:46How you doing?
36:47Brandy.
36:47Nice to meet you.
36:49Is this okay right here?
36:51Absolutely.
36:51This is perfect.
36:52This gym is great.
36:53How long you been here?
36:54We've been about four years here in Pasadena.
36:57Brick City is actually North New Jersey where I'm from, so that's where the name comes from.
37:00Okay.
37:00So I'm going to bring that old East Coast fella here to the West Coast.
37:03My grandpa was a boxer.
37:04Really?
37:05Yeah, yeah.
37:06He was featherweight, but he was really good.
37:07Oh, cool.
37:08Yeah, boxing is just my world.
37:10It's my life.
37:10Oh, I love that.
37:11So, what do I got here?
37:13The suede bag is really cool.
37:14I mean, they don't even make bags like this anymore.
37:16Only guys who make in the big bank, they're using these now.
37:20Oh, yeah.
37:20Look at this fella.
37:22Sparring hair gear.
37:23Yeah.
37:23The quality of it.
37:24Even the craftsmanship.
37:25I mean, they don't really make them as sturdy as this.
37:28They're doing that kind of mass producing now.
37:30They don't make anything like they used to.
37:31Yeah.
37:32Then we got a couple of gloves.
37:35Old sparring gloves here.
37:36This is like bunting in here.
37:38This is my own sparring glove.
37:39This is like some kind of gel or something.
37:41Yeah, so those, they don't make them with the same quality as they used to.
37:44Yeah, I know.
37:44These are kind of whack.
37:46Wow.
37:46These are big.
37:48Is that for your big old hand?
37:49I got a lot of room in here.
37:50I could put two of my hands in here.
37:53And we got this bell.
37:56Mm-hmm.
37:56We don't use this bell anymore, but this is a really cool vintage piece.
38:00But now we have electric bells.
38:04But...
38:04Ah.
38:05Still works.
38:06And I got this.
38:07Older sparring hair gear.
38:09It's got some mouths on it.
38:10Now it's a little roughed up.
38:11Obviously it was used.
38:12Does that give it more value or you think it's less value?
38:15It gives it more character.
38:16It shows it has history.
38:17It tells a story.
38:18So you'll see these things go up at auctions.
38:20As a showpiece, some guy put it up in the gym, put it up in the man cave.
38:24Hell, even a bar.
38:25Yeah.
38:26How old do you think this is?
38:2730s, 40s.
38:28So this is actually my own personal haggers that I would use because I like the old school
38:32look.
38:33As you can see how we evolved, there's no padding here.
38:36Right.
38:37This has a lot of padding here in the front.
38:38So now this one actually evolved into one of these.
38:42So now we have them where you have the bar going across the whole face.
38:45Okay.
38:45So you'll see literally how the headgear has evolved over time.
38:49All right.
38:50All right.
38:50Don't pull any punches.
38:52What do you think I got here collectively?
38:54When you're talking about being a collector and you're talking about a purist of the sport,
38:58these things, they're gold.
38:59Collectively, I think all together, if you write collector, I think we can get about
39:08700 bucks for everything.
39:10Okay.
39:11So nice meeting you.
39:12I appreciate it.
39:13And thank you for welcoming me into your gym.
39:15Well now, the only real way to welcome you to the gym is by going and getting the ring.
39:20Oh.
39:21All right.
39:23Open those fingers up for me.
39:24There you go.
39:25Good?
39:26Yep.
39:26All right.
39:27So we're gonna start with a little jump rope.
39:28And you on, champ.
39:29That's your bell.
39:30Okay.
39:31I haven't jump roped in a long time.
39:32There you go.
39:33I was told there would be no jump roping.
39:35At the boxing gym?
39:35Okay.
39:36Now, we're gonna work on the boxing stance.
39:38Hands up.
39:39Show me the one.
39:39Show me the two.

40:02Boom.

40:03Good work, champ.
40:04Grandpa.
40:05Grandpa be proud.
40:07Oh.

40:16Okay.
40:17Let's see.
40:17We're just gonna give it a good sanding.
40:19Get your surface real smooth.
40:22All right.
40:23Voila.
40:24That's it.
40:25Right there.
40:27Oh, yeah.

40:38Look at that.
40:38Smooth out the edges.
40:41I think this is gonna be a really pretty color.
40:44You gotta shake it.
40:46Just like the machine at the store.
40:49Whoa.
40:50That is freaking red.
40:52Go thick or go home.
40:56Now, let this paint dry.
40:59Dry faster.
41:01It's Lisa's Crafty Corner.
41:03This is gonna look like a million bucks, I tell ya.
41:06There.
41:06That's great.
41:07Now, for the basket touch.
41:11We got the lounge.
41:12We got the litter.
41:14And...
41:15Bing.
41:15Bing kitty kitty kitty.
41:18Dusty and Lupe found magic in West Covina.
41:22Conjuring up over $11,000.
41:25Lisa Delarios crafted a profit of 2,800 stones.
41:30Ivy Calvin whacked out 700 bucks.
41:34While Brandy Passante learned a thing or two about throwing punches.
41:39How you been training?
41:40I mean, you know, just...
41:46What's that?

41:48Let me show you how we do things in Palmdale.
41:51This is how we train in Palmdale.
41:52What is this?
41:53This makes your wrist strong.
41:55So when you hit somebody, it don't buckle.
41:56Oh, my God.
41:58Get the mom straight.
41:59Like you rescued somebody from a burning car.
42:01Punching a rooster.
42:02Punching a rooster?
42:02Well, you gotta put it out there.
42:04Feel the wind in your hair.
42:05Ride that chopper.
42:06Whoa, run, run, run.
42:07That's only five pounds.
42:08We got the hammer.
42:09Don't beat against me.
42:11Ugh.
42:12Don't give me no back talk, sucker.
42:13Oh, my God.
42:15What you doing?
42:17There we go.
42:18When you punch somebody in the teeth, they won't know it.
42:20They won't know it?
42:21Nope.
42:21They'll wake up tomorrow like, what happened?
42:23You know what this is?
42:24Tire?
42:25Yes.
42:26Push.
42:28Beautiful.
