00:05oh my god across the United States this is full dude buried in out-of-control
00:16hordes there are treasures you can't even begin to imagine oh my god I'm Matt Paxton
00:25and my team and I are cleaning out properties rain and poop looking for big scores one of a kind
00:32we found gold for our clients and ourselves and if my instincts are right I think this is legit
00:41everyone wins 82,000 that's all I can say is wow you give me my house back 110,000 I
00:49can't believe
00:49this is the same house 320,000 all right here we go guys Williamston Michigan yeah this trip our
01:07potential client Bruce has a full house and a garage that looks like a jam-packed airplane
01:13hangar oh wow from the videos found if you guys have seen the videos yet Bruce was the bomb 30
01:22years
01:22ago Bruce had motorcycles boats and he had a good life right had young kids and then his wife passed
01:29away oh wow okay this is the living room this is my kitchen area I married in 79 to my
01:39wife Brenda she
01:40was a barber we had two children and unfortunately she passed away from cancer in 1997 it seems that as
01:50time went by the house got smaller inside it got so bad that I'm kind of localized to a couple
01:57spots
01:58right now and it's not good I've always wanted to do this myself and I've even attempted it a few
02:06times and I always drop the ball because it's so much work I'm a grandfather four times now the kids
02:13have all grown up now he's got grandkids and they've never been in this house my daughter Hannah she
02:20doesn't like to come over here because I don't keep a clean enough house to cater to her and her
02:26family I
02:27just would feel better if she could walk in the door and the house was clean he has stuff everywhere
02:33there's a lot of cool stuff in there man I was a collector of motorcycles I have a 73 Norton
02:40the
02:40Norton means a lot to me because when I was really young I worked and saved all the money so
02:46I could go to
02:47Europe and buy a motorcycle and tour around with a friend of mine it's always been a great deal to
02:52rely
02:53on that memory and cherish it someone that's going to go overseas to buy a bike and then import it
03:00back
03:00to America that's the kind of guy that's going to take care of his stuff and so I mean my
03:05hunch is not
03:06only are we going to find some good stuff we're going to find it in really good condition and it's
03:10been
03:10sitting in this barn for 20 years yeah I mean it's all going to depend on how they were stored
03:16and what we actually
03:18find when we get there Kaelin what are your concerns about everything being stored out in the barn the
03:23weather man this open space it looks like it doesn't even have a front door so I'm worried about the
03:28weather hitting hitting everything I mean it could be good could be bad yeah Chris you're gonna be in
03:34the house and the barn finding extra value in every corner I got you I'm on it I think this
03:40is gonna be a
03:40messy week y'all at this property we're looking for any vintage barbershop items that Bruce's wife
03:46used to have at her shop Bruce also has some boats so let's check those out and we got to
03:51keep our
03:51eyes peeled for any 60s era motorcycles especially that Norton that he keeps talking about hello hello
03:58hello hello how you doing good and I'm Matt good to finally meet you Bruce really good to meet you
04:04to meet you we're really glad to have you here well I do see that we have a lot of
04:07work to do
04:08yeah are you cool if I send two of the guys to the hangar to see what's there and then
04:13Chris and I
04:13will come inside with you guys okay all right well after you we'll let you guys leave my team and
04:17I
04:17have a process and we've been doing this long enough to know what works I go with the potential client
04:22to
04:22hear the story while Mike and Kaelin walk the property Kaelin's taking notes on cleanup costs while
04:28Mike's trying to find our target items and I'm sending Chris upstairs to find unassuming areas that
04:32he'll search through later welcome Bruce I'm already getting the feeling here man the house
04:38it is full I mean there's cobwebs everywhere dust everywhere he just literally time has stood still
04:44for 30 years walk me through me how did we get here well all alone I'm a terrible procrastinator
04:52I would argue you're a really good one actually pretty good yeah pretty good your grandpa right
04:57yeah as the mom of those grandkids do you want them running around here no I mean my youngest
05:01daughter's never even been here I get it so is that the goal can we make space for grandkids in
05:08this place sounds good to me yeah well I'm peeking around I see an amazing barber pole I've got a
05:15whole back bar chairs cash register oh so you have everything else from the barbershop yeah all right
05:21well that's awesome vintage barbershop items that's music to my ears barbershops are as American as apple pie and
05:35collectors look for everything from barbershop poles to shaving mugs which evoke a very strong sense of
05:41nostalgia from a bygone era where a shave in a haircut was two bits that's 25 cents today's collectors
05:53will buy almost anything from a vintage shop chairs mugs scissors even the ads that were on the wall
05:59they're all sellable the biggest score is the James Carpenter collection it's a lifetime collection of barber
06:06bottles mugs signs and chairs auctioned in 2024 for over 400 thousand dollars all right well let's
06:16let's see the rest of the place let's see what we got to do okay when you tackle hoarding of
06:20this level
06:21something's happened there's always a reason and for Bruce it's very easy to see the love of his life
06:25passed away and also the woman that ran his life she was even his barber she cut his hair let's
06:30check out
06:30of this bedroom okay oh man watch your stuff nice his wires around all right stuff laying around okay
06:37bees in here too oh yeah there's a lot of bees might got to call somebody for them once they
06:44look big
06:45it's always a gamble coming to these houses because they tell us oh I've got motorcycles and a boat right
06:52here we got a boat we have a motor we don't know if it runs or not then we have
06:56to get here and see what
06:57they really have is it a boat or a pile of scrap I see a bike look at this BMW
07:04it's a 1200 so far
07:06this is the best thing we found okay here you go Mike got a four-wheeler got a quad sweet
07:12hey you know
07:14what truer words have never been spoken it's all in the grind that's the motto we live by
07:22dude check this out this old buggy oh man this thing will sell fast yes exactly what we're looking
07:30for here it is this guy loved his toys yes he did this is awesome at one time these items
07:37were all
07:37very nice today they all need a little work I think these are barbershop stuff these barbershop items have
07:46seen better days like we feared the weather has really taken its toll all this is gonna end up in
07:52the scrap pile or the trash all right let's go look in the yard all right what are we looking
07:56at here
07:57uh what's the goal of this space less clutter okay I like it yeah I like my bed office table
08:08okay in the business we call this a cockpit our clients they live in about a five to ten foot
08:13area
08:14and I mean is this where you sit you eat you live is everything right here my TV broke in
08:20the living
08:21room okay so I thought I might well just do everything in the bedroom okay so this is a cockpit
08:26cockpit yeah cockpit is created where it's always opposite of a TV and it's really where the hoarder
08:33stays he eats there he lives there he watches TV there and it just gets smaller and smaller and
08:38smaller because the rest of the house fills up anything that was crucial to that person's life
08:42is going to be within a 10 foot radius of that chair and you could argue most of us live
08:46in a 10 to
08:4720 foot radius in our own home it's just cleaner than this one this needs to be a room again
08:51this
08:51needs to be a bedroom a room you like being in all right what are we doing with this safe
08:55probably
08:56keep that here because I've got some weapons that I like to keep locked up could we put it somewhere
09:02else in the room or no oh yeah so the other side of this is we got to sell some
09:06stuff yeah I see a few
09:07things where's the other stuff on this property you got a match this thing has seen better days my
09:13friend good luck selling this thing I don't know maybe we can salvage a sail or a mast and sell
09:20I don't
09:21know but maybe that we could sell the trailer maybe but the boat itself we might be paying
09:30somebody to take this away absolutely okay I'm using the smell of money can't smell number mode right
09:40now this is a basement if I've ever seen one what do we got good here barbershop store yeah washer
09:48and
09:49dryer I'm not attached to anything down here really okay so we pretty much have free rain down
09:54here all right okay I'm gonna go meet with my guys see if we can put a partner together and
09:59then we'll
09:59all meet back up hey Matt what's up guys what's up man all right I don't know how I feel
10:08how are you
10:08guys feeling what are we finding in the barn we found some potentially big-ticket items we found
10:17motorcycles a boat SS firewood or I call it firewood I think somebody will buy it okay and you can
10:24make
10:24some calls to find somebody absolutely okay you know if there's a way to make a dollar I'm gonna find
10:28it all right so what do you think overall what do you think what's a range you can make in
10:34there safely
10:37I'd say 10 to 15 okay I mean just one or two of the bikes alone are gonna be a
10:43huge chunk of that okay
10:45all right well I'm a I'm five to ten inside so 15 to 25 I mean that's a that's a
10:53pretty big range what
10:53do you think cost-wise I mean do you how many days you got in the barn today's in the
10:57bar for real yeah
10:59I mean that's a four-day cleanup so it's gonna be over 10 grand for the cleanup I'm kind of
11:08inclined to
11:08do it I mean honestly this guy it's a great story he's a really good dude you know when I
11:13say hey what
11:14are you gonna do with all the money that we make you you know what they want to do just
11:17make space
11:17for his grandkids to come over oh yeah yeah let's do it let's do it you know I need to
11:23make 25 my hunch
11:25is if Chris does his thing and picks through inside I'm telling you if you dig deep enough I'm guarantee
11:30you there's there's probably another grand or two in the house if it's in there I find it get 25
11:35shoot
11:35for 30 yeah and let's see if we can do this okay all right we've been doing this long enough
11:41that we
11:42know to trust our hunches and my hunch is telling me there's something special in this house thank
11:48you man all right now that I've met my team let's see if we can make a deal with Bruce
11:52and Hannah you
11:55got a weird house I'm gonna be honest that's fair you've got some really cool things and I think
12:01there's between twenty and thirty thousand dollars worth of stuff in this the house and the garage that
12:07being said we think it's about a ten thousand dollar cleanup so with those numbers I'm gonna
12:14have to be firm on a 50 50 split hmm what do you think it's a priceless thing to get
12:22I agree we can
12:24come eat dinner with you hang out bring the kids over it's well if you can guarantee me yeah and
12:33my
12:33house is clean you got a deal ma'am can't thank you enough for trusting us I can't thank you
12:37guys
12:37enough yeah all right I'm gonna get everybody started we'll see you guys in a little bit all
12:40right thank you it's time to start hunting we're gonna hit this house hard to get this job done in
12:47four days we're gonna have to divide and conquer I'm sending Chris to the attic and I'm gonna start in
12:53the basement where the oldest items are usually kept Mike and Kaelin are headed to the hangar I mean
12:58the garage to search out the big-ticket items all right here we go all right we want to start
13:04probably
13:04this way any babies still in the package that's a sale Kaelin you're supposed to be helping me
13:14we got in the ring
13:31nope Bruce's wife passed away 20 years ago and he has held on to all of her belongings that
13:36vintage barbershop pole came from her shop there's no telling what other antique items she had classic
13:43shaving mugs scissors and vintage signs they could all be in the basement
13:54my god there's no value all right nothing in there so far I haven't found any barbershop
14:02stuff in the basement in fact I'm not finding anything I can sell in the basement all right
14:09I'm gonna head up stairs I'm done picking hopefully Mike and Kaelin are having better luck in the garage
14:17all right we've got to clear a path to this boat so that means making it wide enough so that
14:22we're not
14:22worried about it we're gonna get all this stuff you got one chasing
14:44we need epipens and oxygen on standby oh man look at this like we haven't thrown anything away but
14:50just like all you've done is sorted yeah just obvious trash okay well let's get that truck let's get this
14:55out of here let's see if we can get it sold these boats have seen better days right now their
15:01value
15:01is underwater you're clear over here it's UK doing it look at this bad boy moving that being said I
15:11have learned this in Michigan this is a resourceful area they will remake this boat into something of
15:16value when's the last time this boat moved when I parked it in there what year was that uh it
15:22I see oh
15:23four I see a sticker that's the previous owner so 20 years it happens fast dude
15:33this is a sweet Norton dude that's a dead tire the Norton is a magnificent bike I mean it's beautiful
15:41I would love to ride that all over Europe but this bike will not ride all over Europe it won't
15:45ride down
15:46the street good news is it's a classic vintage cafe racer it's a collector's dream and that means
15:52it's going to be worth a lot of money in the 1960s Norton was pushing their motorcycle engine
16:07technology to the limit most of their models were fitted with air-cooled overhead valve parallel twin
16:13engines their goal higher revving and faster top speeds at a time when many commercial bikes were
16:19smaller and slower owning the perfect mix of racing heritage and road performance can fetch a high
16:25price these days a pristine 1962 Norton Manx sold for $56,000 at auction I don't know how people ride
16:34these heavy ass the reality is some of these big ticket items are not in good shape this thing supposed
16:39to have a steering wheel so we have to find a lot of new items in this house that we
16:45can sell for a
16:45couple thousand dollars and that's partly on me I took this job knowing there might not be a lot
16:50of profit here so I'm relying on Chris to find more value in the house to make up for that
16:55loss and
16:56hoping that Mike can sell what we've already found how you doing good nice nice to meet you Jeff I
17:02see
17:02you checking out the buggy here yeah what would you use this for I really don't know yet I might
17:08put
17:08it up front and use it for a yard ornament I don't know everywhere you go in the country you'll
17:15find
17:15things that you don't find in other parts of the country this buggy is an example so for me this
17:21is
17:21exciting because I get to sell something I've never sold before and since our target items aren't in the
17:26best shape I need to sell everything I can for as much as possible so we can get into the
17:30green I mean
17:31it's in halfway decent condition but you just never know until you get into it I mean it is probably
17:37a hundred ish years old yeah if either of us were a hundred years old we'd probably have a few
17:43bumps and
17:43bruises too what what are you interested in paying for this I'll give you 50 for it fifty dollars I
17:56was
17:57thinking more like 300 no is there anywhere we can meet in the middle like I feel like if I
18:03took the wheels off I
18:05could sell the wheels for probably fifty dollars a piece there you go you can you can work on it
18:11okay so
18:12you're so you're not negotiating at all no okay okay thanks man really nice to meet you I'll I'll be
18:17in touch
18:17okay sounds good thanks well that's not a great start turns out selling some of these items might be harder
18:23than I thought
18:28all these smells I'm surprised I even got any senses to smell I feel like all that burnt out I'm
18:35really
18:35wondering if it does float probably not what's up guys hey how you doing we're good man trying to sell
18:42some boats does it run um no but it could yeah it definitely could it's been in a barn for
18:50about 30
18:50years wow and so it has not moved since oh four till this morning boats are like pianos man if
18:57you
18:57can't get them away for free you still got to pay to get rid of them so anything above zero
19:01is a bonus
19:02here it's uh this is more of a nostalgic buy I believe okay so this is a little beyond full
19:10restoration
19:11yeah yeah okay but uh a lot of people turn these 40 evan roots into uh mailboxes so there's there's
19:18a
19:18little bit of value in that but not a ton okay well we're motivated to sell this we do also
19:24have a
19:24sailboat would you be interested in a sailboat I'm hoping for a package deal depending on condition okay
19:31it's not as nice as this okay so maybe still depending on condition let's go check it out
19:40all right what do you guys think she's pretty hit it's had better days looks like you got the
19:46sails in here they in good shape yeah that's a good looking sail wow Aaron if you had something
19:55like this what do you think we could do with it so this one is a little beyond saving but
20:00we could
20:01probably get 12 to 1500 bucks if we dime it out all right well what's the chance of doing a
20:09deal on
20:09both maybe like 800 800 for both could you do 12 for both including the sales I mean would you
20:24take a
20:25grand done I'm not gonna let you take that back sir I wouldn't say the money is rolling in just
20:31yet
20:31but as soon as they agreed to come to the backyard I knew I was gonna sell that boat there
20:36you go all
20:37right it's yours I think these guys feel like they got a really good deal on the boats dude anything
20:43above a dollar is a win we did good now that the garage is cleared out and we're waiting on
20:48buyers for
20:49the bikes and the buggies we're gonna get started picking in the house I'll be in the kitchen while
20:54Chris and Mike start hunting in the living room so I'll call up and see one pet we got a
20:59car Barbie dream
21:01car collectors love when you shake it and stuff comes out like that 50 bucks and silver
21:19oh my gosh just finding good stuff
21:26hey Hannah yeah you know anything about this
21:34I don't know yeah that's definitely mine can I open it yeah when I took this job I said I
21:41got a hunch
21:41we're gonna find something special obviously you wrote this from your mom or wrote this for your mom
21:46mom yeah and like I always say you just have to keep looking this was an important part of your
21:52mom's
21:53area I can tell all the cookbooks and everything how old do you think you were I might say 96
21:5996
22:00it had to be before third grade maybe yeah you want me to read it for you sure
22:05mother dear today I will be your butterfly because I love you so
22:10I will fly around and help you and to make you smile and glow love Hannah
22:18she was definitely sick yeah she was already sick by then the root cause of the hoarding is losing my
22:25mom and being a single dad not only raising kids on his own but maintaining a household and a lot
22:32of that
22:33was my mom's doing and when she was no longer able to do that I don't think he had any
22:39idea where
22:40to pick up the pieces I don't know I just think it's kind of cool that it's still here I
22:44guess well
22:45I think in my line of business I've learned you're supposed to find things like this sometimes yeah
22:50yeah I'm gonna give it back to you thank you so much I know we're always looking for money but
22:54no this is what it's this is what it's worth man that's what matters 600 bucks I can do that
23:07sweet
23:13well here it is I mean wow beautiful old barbershop pole
23:22um yeah I mean got some cracks in the glass here but man this is amazing
23:31given the condition of the pole if it still works it could be worth thousands of dollars
23:35if not it would be the biggest lawn ornament I've ever seen here goes nothing oh man I wonder if
23:41it
23:50works okay we've been looking for vintage barbershop items but the things we found in the garage just
24:10weren't in good shape but this pole it looks like it could work and that could be big money for
24:15us
24:15yeah honestly if this thing spins it's gonna make a huge difference in its value if it doesn't work
24:22this would be the biggest paperweight I've ever seen all right let's see what we got here come on
24:29baby here we go that is awesome in the Middle Ages barbers weren't just cutting hair they were
24:40cutting up body parts they were often called upon to be surgeons because of their skills with razors
24:46and scissors bloodletting pulling teeth stitching wounds your barbershop chair was also your ER they
24:53had a simple but gruesome way of letting the public know they were open for business they would wrap
24:58bloody bandages around a pole and stick it outside the shop a medieval version of a neon open sign it's
25:04no exaggeration that vintage barbershop poles can sell for a lot of money staggeringly a collection
25:10of 19th century hand-carved barbershop poles sold at Christie's for $35,000 man this is amazing I've
25:18never found a barbershop pole before so I'm really excited most of them have been lost to time or have
25:24been in private collections for years so to have one in this house is a home run I've seen these
25:30things
25:30sell for three to five thousand dollars no problem so this is going to be a huge part of getting
25:37us to
25:37our goal all right now I just got to keep Kaelin away from it it's gonna get broken all right
25:47so I
25:48hear you were interested in this black walnut it's gorgeous I think I can do 2,000 and I can
25:53take it
25:53today all right I'll take it you drive a hard bargain I love it this is cute there's a window
25:58right here
25:59but we'll be driving around hey guys hey I'm Mike hi Marlena Marlena hope hope nice to meet y'all
26:05nice to meet you I've been striking out with this buggy nobody wants to pay anything for it but I
26:10need
26:10to sell it otherwise we're gonna eat the cleanup costs of hauling this buggy off the property here
26:16goes nothing so y'all checking out the buggy wanted to come outside see if you had any questions or
26:22you
26:22know heck if you wanted to take this home with you yeah I like it I think it'd be nice
26:27to put in the
26:27front yard and maybe decorate it during the holidays and stuff oh wow yeah Christmas lights yeah well
26:33right now we're selling the buggy for five hundred dollars and if you like it and you come back with
26:39your trailer we can help load it for you okay how about that no I was thinking three okay I'll
26:53tell you
26:54what you know what if you're gonna cherish and love this buggy for 300 bucks I'll do it all right
26:59300 bucks is 300 bucks and that's more than zero thank you so much thanks guys but these big ticket
27:05items have been a big letdown so far
27:08y'all gonna pick under there make sure if it's if it's expired get rid of it it's not expired
27:23leave
27:23it it's day three in the living room in the kitchen are cleared there's only a couple places left to
27:29hunt
27:29in this house so far sales are lagging and we need to squeeze as much value as we can out
27:34of this house
27:35so I'm sending Mike and Chris to pick through Bruce's bedroom it's his cockpit and hopefully he's got some
27:41valuable stashed away in it if you see any old Harley shirts or other motorcycle or band shirts any of
27:50that
27:50kind of stuff let's make a pile old clothes hard hat all right not much in oh there's some boxes
28:06over
28:06oh god this is so bad I mean all of these houses are a gamble and right now it's not
28:14looking great okay
28:18dude if we're just breaking even or barely doing better than breaking even this is a waste of a trip
28:30playboy calendar from 1988 that's not gonna help us too much
28:36we love helping people but we're here to make money but if I've learned anything
28:40we've got to look through every corner heck there could be a floorboard here that's hiding
28:45a whole stash of silver coins or something else so I'm not giving up but I wish we were doing
28:53a lot
28:53better right now
28:59what is this what do I have here
29:06oh for a projector okay
29:12watch the trees

29:49usually under the bed I find a bunch of junk but I'm a diehard laker fan
29:53hey bruce

30:01you big money
30:02wow
30:03it's magic
30:04how did you get this
30:05a friend of mine told me you got to come see this guy play
30:09this guy is playing high school ball at a college level
30:13so you took these
30:15yeah
30:16so this is one of a kind
30:17yeah
30:18do you have a player or something I can look at these on
30:20I do
30:21it needs batteries
30:23but
30:23oh that's easy
30:24I can get you batteries
30:25okay
30:25when I took these photos
30:28I was kind of artsy fartsy
30:31I enjoyed taking pictures with a camera
30:33and
30:34I knew in my heart that
30:37I was capturing a moment that was very
30:40historic
30:41hey man
30:42you
30:43I think I found something real cool
30:45that's it
30:46all you have to do is say magic and everyone knows who you're talking about
30:50dude
30:51this is really
30:53cool
30:55rebounded
30:56over to Irving Magic Johnson
30:58Johnson behind his back
30:59lays it up
31:00and it's good
31:021977
31:03a 6'8 senior from Lansing, Michigan
31:05led his team to victory winning the state high school basketball championships
31:09his name was Irving Johnson
31:12and in the decades to come
31:13the world would know him as magic
31:15he had a storied NBA career with the Los Angeles Lakers
31:193-time MVP
31:2012-time All-Star
31:21and 5-times hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy as NBA champion
31:26the ceiling was set in 2021 when his rookie finals jersey from game 6
31:31sold for 1.5 million dollars
31:34making it one of the most valuable NBA jerseys ever
31:38I mean these would be one of a kind man
31:43dude
31:44I think you
31:47yeah this is the score
31:48I've never seen anything like this
31:50Chris found four slides
31:52original pictures
31:53that Bruce took
31:55of Magic Johnson in high school
31:57this just about saved our butt
31:58we have not sold a lot of stuff
32:01I've got two collectors
32:03I know that I want to call on this
32:05and if they don't take it
32:06it's going to go straight to auction
32:08there's no doubt these will sell for plus 10,000
32:11the question is
32:12how are they going to sell
32:13where are they going to sell
32:14and how much more over 10,000 are they going to sell
32:16we would be way under budget
32:19without Chris finding these
32:20great find dude
32:22keep digging
32:22that could have changed the entire cleanup
32:31we're going to be like experts
32:34on how to disassemble these things
32:37it's almost the end of day three here at Bruce's property
32:40and we're racing to get the rest of this house cleaned out
32:43so far the sales have been lacking
32:45but I'm cautiously optimistic
32:46that I can sell Bruce's barbershop pole
32:48and make up for lost grand
32:50it's still heavy as hell
32:52oh s***
32:54we're going to fit
32:58this doesn't sell
32:59now we're going back in the house
33:04all right here she is
33:07the beaut
33:08wow
33:09so it's been here for probably 29 years
33:12wow
33:12sitting here
33:13what do you think
33:14I think it looks like it's been here for 29 years
33:16yeah
33:17that's fair
33:18I mean it's about 100 years old
33:20yeah oh yeah
33:21the barber pole is what drew me in
33:23it's what got me here
33:24it's the best piece in the house
33:25we've got a local barber
33:27that really wants to see it first
33:28he wants to put it in his shop
33:30it's right up the street from Hannah
33:31how great would it be
33:33if we could sell it
33:34to the local barber
33:35where she and her kids
33:36can go see it anytime they want
33:38super cool
33:39turn it on
33:39this is the best part
33:41you're going to do that
33:42every morning
33:45here's the thing
33:46we know
33:46it's a good piece
33:47yep
33:48all right
33:48we've seen anywhere from 5 to 10,000
33:50I'll acknowledge
33:51we've got some of the original glasses broken
33:54yep
33:54so we were hoping
33:55eight
33:56hoping eight
34:00um
34:04two six
34:05you're going to leave it in the shop
34:07leave it in the shop
34:07it's going to be a display piece
34:09it's staying in Michigan
34:11done
34:11it needs to be in Michigan man
34:13thank you so much
34:13dude that's awesome
34:14we made a deal
34:15we didn't really haggle too hard
34:17I mean
34:17is it worth 10 grand
34:19it might be
34:19but it might take me six months
34:21to get 10 grand
34:21to get it for six grand today
34:23it walks out the door
34:24and it's going to be working
34:25in the local barber shop tomorrow
34:27this is the ideal win for everyone
34:29the main floor of the house is clear
34:32including Bruce's bedroom
34:33with moderate sales
34:35and no word from the auction house yet
34:36on the Magic Johnson slides
34:38I have a potential buyer here
34:39that's interested
34:40in our last big ticket items
34:42the motorcycles
34:43all right Dean
34:44here they are man
34:46well I've been looking for Norton
34:47for 10 years
34:48you have
34:48so he actually rode it
34:49he went over to Great Britain
34:50bought it over there
34:51rode it around Europe
34:52and then shipped it back
34:53I just think it's so cool
34:55that's a cool story
34:56yeah
34:56the downside of this
34:57is an 850
34:58the 750
34:59bring more money
35:01but the 850s
35:02were still desirable
35:03the rims are junk
35:04the front brakes are gone
35:06you have to be gone through
35:07to get it going
35:07but
35:08okay
35:08I mean I'm pretty realistic
35:09about what we have here
35:10I mean we know they're not
35:12top notch
35:12but they're not nothing either
35:13no they're not totally trash
