Today is special for me, special for you.

Today is a special day.

Today we're in the city of Hemet. You know, that reminds me of one of them

Shakespeare plays, you know? The theme of today is to bid or not to bid.

That is the answer, Danny boy.

You know what Dan would say back to Shakespeare too, boy? He'll say

like,

When storage units are abandoned, the treasures within

are put up for auction.

Back to heaven, baby. It's been a while since we've been here.

Oh, my God. Remember when Barry gave Dave his first yup hat?

The reason I got you this, Dave, is maybe you can save us all a little bit

noise pollution.

And instead of yelling yup, you just point to your hat.

Yeah. We've had some memories here.

You've got to love the auction business.

You know, we have been in the auction game a long time.

51 years.

It's almost like a lifetime.

Yeah. My whole lifetime.

All right.

Welcome to Hemet, folks.

Hux and Dive.

I love this place, and I'm wearing the brightest shirt I own so that when I

Dan will see me.

High biz ability for high bid ability, whether I'm in the front, in the back,

the middle, on the side, way over there, way over here.

He's going to see my bits. He ain't missing me ever, ever again.

I'm right here, bright as the sun, bright as the sun, dark as the night.

I don't know. Every time I hear the word Hemet, I just think there's a letter

missing in that word. It's such a weird word. And then I realized the word Hemet

is the word helmet without the L. And then I was like, wait, I'm going to

which is in the desert.

And I need to hydrate.

So why not bring my hydration helmet to Hemet?

Yeah, I'm just working on my shaker spirit today since we're in the city of

Hemet. Words, words, words.

That's all we hear is words.

That makes no sense at all.

Just above all, die on locker.

Be true.

Bugs.

Bugs, bugs, bugs.

Look at Lisa. She's drunk. She's walking fast.

Came prepared.

Ain't no football game over here.

It's an auction game.

I brought my hydration helmet.

I might have to put something else in there once my water runs out.

Oh, God, what's your bad self?

This is some design flaws on this sucker.

You're leaking, girl.

I hope you got on the whistle.

Drowning whistle. Yeah, drowning whistle. Because Kent can't swim. I

him.

You're reading poetry.

Yeah, I'm reading a Shakespeare of Hemet, a .k .a. Hamlet.

I'd love to hear some.

God has given you one face and you make yourself another.

Yeah, I'm a professional.

You sure are.

Hi, girl. Welcome to the poetry jam. The poetry jam.

Listen to many, speak to few. Learn to paddle your own canoe.

Ooh, okay, all right. We're going to need one out here if it rains.

I like empowering words, words that kind of give me like a little like slap in

the ass.

Something is rotten in the city of Hemet.

Who we got here?

Mr. Kenny do it or Mr. Lisa can't do it?

Or Mrs. Lisa can't do it?

Neither of them can do it when I'm around.

Welcome to the auction. We're Dan and Laura Dawson with American Auctioneers.

Before you go through these gates, you need to know the rules. You're going to

go to the unit, remove the lock, open the door, give you five minutes to take

look around. You can't go inside.

You can't open any boxes. And who's ever got the most money in their pocket can

own it today. Are you ready?

Yeah!

Let's go!

Great crowd! Let's go!

All right!

Yeehaw! Woo -hoo!

Lead the way, babe. Let's do it.

We've got like a cornucopia of really great units here today, babe. I think we

have a unit for everybody today.

This way, folks. This way. First unit.

All right. Here we go. Little door.

Oh, all right.

It's deceiving.

This is kind of interesting. We got a lot of boxes.

This is a nice, tidy little cubby shelf.

It's an old suitcase, so that's got some potential.

This could go either way.

Could go either way.

This is pretty nice.

Oh, I see something light.

Oh, that's you.

I thought Jesus walked in here.

This is a nice unit. It's organized.

Oh, they got the treasure chest in here. Oh, I'm going in on this one here, boy.

I'm going to go talk to my peoples.

Wow. This one, I'm definitely in for.

It just looks like it's going to be some scorable knickknacks. A lot of totes, a

lot of baskets, a lot of shelves.

I really like this one.

Maybe it's time to teach Kenny that Hamlet is a tragedy.

All righty, here we go. How much money on this one, and what are you going to

pay? Ten by ten. What are you going to be telling me? How much? How big?

Ten by ten. Wow, all right. What are you going to pay? How much money? Got a

hundred bucks right there. I got one for you. I got three and a half.

I can't believe Dan didn't see me.

That's the only reason I bought this damn shirt. The reason why I got this

is because of the treasure chest in there. And another reason why, because

in the shade.

And I was leaking out there, America.

This above all, to dine on locker, be true.

Woo -hoo!

Oh, my God.

How did I get the hard door?

Woo! Double door! Take a look. Look it over.

Two -door locker?

I think that's a first. I don't think I've ever seen that.

Double the doors means double the stuff means double the dollars.

Interesting. First glance, looks like a store that closed down.

Tables?

25, 50, 75, 125,

200 tables right there. Clothes rack, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, times 50,

500 in clothes racks.

Two shelves, another 50.

I'm in.

Woo! Okay, I am missing my hydration helmet now.

Well, I don't need a bunch of clothing racks, but I like these bins. That's

mysterious.

Um... Hi, Dan.

Hey, watch out. San Andreas fault line right here. Oh, my gosh. So if you're

lucky enough to get a unit right on top of the fault line, it might be good.

Wow. That's considered good luck, right? Yeah.

I see a fan. Wish you could plug it up, Dan.

Right. I know.

Poetry. This must have been a retail store right here.

What makes you think so? I see stands where they hang them clothes up right

here. All kind of display racks.

And see the half of torsos? That's low -key undercover headless mannequins. You

could sell that.

Or just keep one around the house for company. Yeah.

You ain't gonna worry about nobody talking back to you.

Right. You know what? That one there looked very, very interesting.

Too big or not too big, Danny boy?

You know my answer, babe. Yeah.

All right.

Who is this tiny teenager?

And why is she trying to take my locker?

$5 .50, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600,

$600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600,

$600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600, $600,

$600,

Close. Close.

I have no love for clothes.

Ten bucks, only because it's new.

All righty, what we got here? I love these totes. I've struck so many great

units in these totes.

Old phone, no money.

That's pretty cool.

Five bucks each on these.

What do we got? Hey!

Give me a hand for buying a good unit. Yes, yes, yes.

Nice little stapler. This whole box here, 50 bucks.

What we got here? Ooh, some lights.

We got another $30 box right here. Sell the tote, $5 each.

A little baby table, $25.

These are big boy tables here.

One, two, three, four, five.

That's $40.

Five times 40, $200.

$200? One, two, three.

No, that ain't $200, is it?

$200. My math is kind of good.

All righty.

Looks to work. And if you're eight foot tall, your feet won't hang off the end

if you need a nap.

Is it a Louie or is it a Phooey? This actually feels like a Louie. It's not a

,000 one because it's just beat up, but still $200.

Clothing tags.

Tons and tons of them. They must own the business because all these little tags.

You go through tons of them when you sell clothes.

Bags and tags, $25 worth.

These all look to be new and the same.

These look like Black Lives Matter t -shirts, and it's probably about $40 in

there at $4 apiece. Another $160.

Some more sweatshirts, Black Lives Matter.

Another $25.

Oh, wow. Another pile, $30.

More Black Lives Matter for another $30.

More t -shirts, another $20.

Air condition, in great shape, $50.

Ooh, Canopy's always so good. $50 on that one, $50 on that one, and $50 on

one. Oh, yeah.

Sanitizer. Now, these I can sell. 50 cents a piece, 300 in there, 150 bucks.

I know I'm going to make money now because I only paid 600 and I'm already

there. Ivy Cow, you're so good at what you do.

Well,

that was pretty cool.

Kind of went through the thing and stuck up.

Stay. Ooh, these things I like, though.

These are pretty cool. One of my coolest things.

I thought I was going to go climb up some windows, but I guess I'm not.

I thought I was going to hit the ground like that there.

We got a ton of clothing racks. I have 50 bucks a rack.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13,

14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24.

That's $1 ,200 right there. Look at this.

Oh, it's kind of cool.

Christmas decoration.

By the look of this cord and this plastic, this is old vintage Christmas.

looks like an engine. And back here, it looks like maybe a car, a caboose. Most

of the time you plug these in, they kind of glow.

I bet you, being that this is so old and it got this look, this is worth some

money. But I don't know how much money. But you know what I'm saying.

If I don't know what it costs, find a Santa that do.

Well, somebody's old store is my new store. And I got the Christmas stuff. I

came out really freaking good.

Good job, shirt.

Clothing rack? I like clothes.

Maybe some vintage -y stuff there.

That's a weird -looking washing machine.

Looks like it's from the past and the future all at once.

All right. It's petite but full, like me.

God, that shirt is so bright.

I wish I had my sunglasses.

Clothes. I like clothes racks and clothes tables and clothing shelves, but

don't like clothes themselves.

I do like that little fry basket right there, though. Whoever gets it, I'm

buying that from them.

More clothes.

I hate clothes.

I ain't buying this.

Oh, look at this here, boy.

The clothes come with a washing machine. All this.

They got books. The collectibles. That's what this is.

Collectibles right here.

It look like it's organized, but it's been here a lot. Dust on dust.

You got a broom. You can sweep it out yourself.

This one, they're pretty good down.

And if you're ready to go, I'm ready to go, and here we go.

Ten by ten here, folks.

Ten dollars.

I got ten right there. What about twenty -five? Where? I got twenty -five. What

about sixty there?

Seventy -five now.

One hundred there. One and a half there. Two hundred where?

I got one and a half. What about two? What about two there? Two and a half.

I got two and a half. What about two and a half? Three.

Mr.

Shakespeare can't help you now, can he?

And $600, $650 going to what? I've got $600, $650, $650 going to what?

I've got $600 bucks, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6

,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6

,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6

,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6

,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500, $6 ,500,

Hey, new girl.

What's up? What you doing here?

Trying to buy a unit. What are you doing?

Buying the units. I ain't trying.

Ha.

I'm going to buy a unit.

You've been told, right? Told what?

Who the king is.

No. You just met him.

They can call him King Ivy for a reason.

We'll see about that.

Hey.

Guy's a joke.

10 by 20.

Ivy, this reminds me of the very first fridge that you taught me not to open.

Remember? It sure does.

I'm not scared.

Hold on a minute.

But I opened it anyway. You did.

It wasn't that bad. You got lucky. I did.

Wow. This is a very dusty locker.

It's a little chaotic in here, but it's mysterious.

I do need a new fax machine. I wanted to go big, but I didn't necessarily want

to go big and dirty.

I prefer big and clean.

I see a tricycle. I see a Kobe Bryant.

I see a bunch of cobwebs. This unit's been here for a long time, bro.

Even the dust is old in here.

Dollars should not bid on this locker, ever.

Oh, a whole sectional couch there.

Woo!

Shelves, washers, dryers. Just a little bit more dust than I wanted to deal

with. It's like 100 sneezes in this locker. Maybe 1 ,000 sneezes.

All right, let's see what we have here.

I already love this unit just because my grandma had the same exact rocking

chair. This is worth money. Rocking chairs, they sell. Not only that, the

can sell. The fridge always sells.

Tables. I love furniture.

I want this.

I know you're going to bid on this one, Emelick.

You swim, Emily?

I do. Oh, good.

Not good, but I swim. I got to talk to you. Don't play with the devil.

There's monsters in that water, bro.

Where?

Shark, whale.

I love them.

Huh? I love them. I chase them. I take photos of them. In the water? In the

water. I go on a little dinghy boat and chase and take photos.

Good.

You can't.

What if a whale just came?

You ain't nothing but about, what, 37 pounds.

We don't know when our time is done. If that's the way I'm going to go out is

by, like, with a whale, I'll take it. Just being next to it is good enough.

Girl, you, oh, man, you're a new breed.

You're a new breed of auction buyers.

I'm scared of you.

This girl out here chasing sharks in the water.

She need holy water, America.

Folks. Little tidbit on this unit here. It has been here since 2015.

I ain't been on no cobwebs. This is a 10 by 20 big unit.

Next lesson, new girl. You bid me up, now I'm going to bid you up. I just hope

don't end up with this dusty junk.

I might

be

tiny, but I'm mighty.

Folks, that's the end of the auction. God bless you. And don't forget to pay

lady. See you in the office.

Let's see what shaky spirit got over here. I just read all his books and

And he's supposed to help me out over here in Hemings.

You know, shaky spirit. Come on, boy. Let's go.

Bring, bring, bring.

Let's get it, boy.

And look at here. We got an old ragged ass sleeping bag. No money.

This is Ultiminator right here. It's about 300 big ones right here, boy.

new. My car probably could use it.

It's got a clock. That's telling you no time.

$5 clock.

Ticky -tock.

It's a battery jumper.

Nice condition.

That says it's about 15 bucks, and it's got a sealer.

Radiator sealer. Brand new. Hit me up on Facebook Marketplace.

$5. Kenny Dewitt style.

Look at that, boy. We got money, money, money.

Uh -oh. I swear to God, I hope this is a clarinetter. Please let it be a

clarinetter.

It's a clarinet.

I used to play one of these at school.

Look at that, boy.

I remember playing this as a class.

You guys look in the window like this.

And I turn around and go, clarinet.

$2 .50 for the clarinet.

Two, a bucket of two.

About $25 for this.

Yeah, sounds like money, don't it? Look at this here. What's that one of them

big things?

Flashlight, no money.

All kind of stuff.

If you wanted to steal water from your neighbor, you'd hook this up.

$35 worth of stuff right here.

Low -key ghetto hamlet. Y 'all should not use powder on my... Poetry comes in

all forms, world.

That's a roll of nothing.

Okay, the rest of that's no money.

What you talking about, boy?

I can't take you with me, man.

Come on, Kenny. Take me with you, brother.

No, I can't take you. You look like you eat too much.

Thou shalt not buy a unit like this again.

You got all kind of malicious ain't it, too, here.

Loki, what?

No,

he did not tell me this.

Bruh, please be real.

He's not real. Look at that America. I would have had four smackaroonies there,

boy, with the blue line, and it says, copy.

Damn! A cooler full of fake cash, not worth $400?

Get your ass on.

All right, what's this?

Oh.

What the hell?

This is one of them toy guns with pellets and stuff.

Yeah, paintballs.

I'd say it's about 200 bucks for this here.

What do we got here?

Kind of heavy. What does it say?

Some kind of book.

Boy, I use this to cut my toenails. This might be a toenail clipper for

dinosaurs.

This one here pulls out people's teeth with this.

And this here looks like more toenail clippers.

I don't know what the hell this is.

Air pump.

Get the telewacker working.

This is called All Purpose Blend Organic Bonsai Saw.

So that's what this is.

Bonsai tool.

That's from clipping trees.

But yeah, I think this is something to go get looked at as a real tree master

around here. The Bonsai tool.

Yo, Shakespeare had doubled me my money.

I'm hyped up and hydrated.

Let's do this, Hemet.

All

right,

let's start with this vintage washing machine set.

Avanti. Never heard of the Avanti.

Okay, so we got the dryer here.

Yeah, this is the washing machine. I could get $75 for the pair.

See where we're going on vacation.

I bet it's a hammock.

This is actually pretty good shape.

Oh, cute vintage linens.

All right, $20 for the linen, $30 suitcase.

Another suitcase.

All right.

Per city and the suitcase, $40.

Man, I am really stacking these suitcases.

Hell, I could start my own baggage claim.

It's like nesting dolls of suitcases.

$50 for the pair.

A little folding portable desk.

That's kind of cool. $50.

Okay.

Okay.

There's a murder knife in this box.

You know what? I'm not going to sell this knife because I just feel like

playing with the devil.

So I'm going to dispose of it.

I have my box cutter in my car. That's not very useful.

God, if only I had something sharp to open this box.

Well, I guess I could just use it just for a little bit. Just to open up a

box.

Oh, it's sharp.

Ooh, she cuts through tape like butter.

Okay.

Oh, look, it's the Fisher -Price xylophone thing.

I used to have this.

Never had one less than vintage toy, 50 bucks.

I have to say, this murder knife has really come in handy.

We got some cool vintage glassware, this whole box, $200.

See, now we're getting somewhere.

Okay, now let's go shopping.

Let's go shopping in Grandma's Attic, copyright.

Grandma's Attic is located at 415 A. Sierra Highway.

Come on down.

American auctioneers.

I'm seeing some stuff from the 90s, a couple Y2K pieces.

I'm going to say $100 on this clothing rack. I feel like I'm getting to the

stuff, actually.

It's like a leather jacket.

Sweet, sweet 80s.

Sweet. the German -inspired death leather murder knife fashion show.

Oh,

my

God.

That's so creepy.

Does everyone hear that?

Let me find the haunted music box so I can dab it with my murder knife.

Huh. Oh, well, here's the haunted music box.

Oh, hang on. I see a hinge.

It's a lighter. It's like a music carousel lighter globe.

I'm going to say this is probably from the 50s or 60s.

And you know what? Actually, this is probably a cigarette dispenser.

What's this?

Another globe.

There's still a cigarette in there. Oh, my God.

Make sure there's nothing hiding back here.

Oh, there is something hiding back here. Okay.

Okay, I definitely have a set of something kind of special.

This.

This is like a cigarette dispensing with an airplane motif. This definitely goes

with the globe cigarette stuff.

I got to find like a professional cigarette tour or just like maybe a

smoker, someone that can tell me what this is worth.

Well, I'd say I cleaned up in Hemet and now I have to clean this up.

That's a shame.

What's up, bro?

Kenny. I came here, told you about some tools I found in a unit. Okay. I'm

taking off Shakespeare and taking my bonsai stuff to Jason Chan's peaceful

garden at Easton Leaf.

My Zen energy should really complement this joint.

This one here.

Well, that's a good brand.

Oh, yeah?

Yeah, it's from Japan.

My name?

Okay, let's take a look.

yeah these are nice tools yeah actually like almost new so we got tweezers here

this is a knob cutter we've got some shears and this is like for big branches

this is pretty much a complete tool for doing anything for bonsai you can really

feel the weight of it so it's really nice quality and if you listen to this i

know it's hard to tell because you don't have anything to compare it with but if

you kind of clip this one a little bit you can hear how precise it is you know

you're being clipped right here yeah what else you got I got this here right

here. Oh, cool.

Well, this is interesting.

Let me see what this is.

Okay, this is the Ikebana.

Ikebana is the Japanese art of lower arrangement.

So this one's used for cutting stems.

I want to know what that thing there for. This one right here? Yeah. That

like a mister.

A who?

Like what mister?

Mr. Miyagi?

A mister, like a water mister.

Oh. Yeah, so just kind of go like this. So you can suck up the water.

All right, and dig up.

I'd say that the nicest thing in this set is probably this. This is a really

nice knife.

Let's try that. So you've got an Ikebana kit and a nice antique case there.

That's pretty nice.

Let's see what this pot is. All right. Oh, it is a bonsai pot. You can tell

because you've got a drainage hole here on the bottom.

If they don't drain, then it'll start to collect there and the roots will rot.

And then the tree will slowly... Almost like drown.

Yeah, basically.

Oh, yeah, bro. Leave that water alone.

That water ain't no joke. Even the plants get drowned around you. But I can

just by holding it that it's a pretty good quality pot.

So tell me about your giddy up here, bro.

Would you say a lot of people starting to get involved in this kind of? Lately,

in the last 10 years, I've seen a lot of young people really get into bonsai.

So, like, how I learned about it was from the Karate Kid.

Mr. Miyake used to say that, you know, it...

It completes his mind thought, you know what I mean? Yeah, well, a lot of people

have been getting into bonsai just because of kind of like the meditative

qualities of it. I find that when I'm working on it, you kind of forget kind

the troubles of the outside world.

And I think in the Karate Kid, that was kind of the principle behind that as

well, right?

You know what would make me forget about the troubles of the outside world?

M -O -N -E -Y.

All right, now we're getting to the big nitty gritty here. This whole little kit

right here, what would you price that at?

So this pot would probably fetch you an auction, maybe about $250.

Get that!

Sorry, plans.

$200 for him?

Yeah, it's a nice pot.

I was about to do a call with between your plans.

Okay, so this is the Ikebana kit.

This case is pretty cool.

The thing I like the most about this... is this knife. It's a really good

quality knife. And then we've got your bonsai tool kit. So this one. That's the

Hanchimalara. Yeah, this one's made in Japan, almost mint quality, made from a

reputable manufacturer.

And I thought it was a big person toenail kit.

That's where it goes. I ain't lying, because I was like thinking about my

right now. Oh, this thing will take off your whole top.

But this is a great kit.

Okay, so grand total, everything together, I'd say it's about...

$900. Man, that's what I'm talking about, dog.

You gave me history. The only thing you have to do now is give a plant a

haircut. All right, let's go find your tree. All right, let's go.

All right, $600.

It feels worth it.

Whew. Wow.

Talk about spiderweb.

Already, what do I see here?

Oh, it's the old television.

Oh, wait, this is so cool.

Look at this.

It's new in the box and a collectible. It's a baseball team, Seattle Mariners.

At least 100.

What do we have here?

Dustpan. Ironic.

Got some nonstick cookware.

Brand new in box.

At least $65.

You got a bike.

Honestly, it's not in bad condition at all.

Oh, and it's a Roadmaster. That's a quality bike.

$150. Cleaned up.

Look what we have here.

VHS tapes.

Okay, I love them.

And these are all sealed, too.

People don't see value. I see the value in them. And I know that there's a lot

of people that do. These sell, especially because they're brand new.

All right, we got another rack of VHS tapes right here.

Wow.

Oh, wow. These are all sealed as well.

Both of these can go for $60.

I love this grandma chair, especially because my grandma had it. That's why I

call it the grandma chair.

And these definitely sell.

Honestly,

it's in such nice condition, too.

It doesn't even need to be fixed up or anything. Maybe just cleaned off.

I'm already becoming this lady. I'm already ready for it. I'm so ready for

I already coupon.

I already think I could be a good neighborhood watch.

This will sell easy $75.

Bunch of chairs.

Got another chair.

More chairs.

That set itself, painted and cleaned up.

$80. $10 each.

So that's $20. Another $10 each. That's $40 right there. That's great for all

those chairs.

For all that work I just did. Got a nice table.

And it's definitely solid wood.

It's in really good condition.

It's at least worth $150.

Nice.

We got a winner. We got a Super 8.

I love Super 8s. These are so in right now, too. $200.

Universal Studios brought the actress.

It says it's from 1987.

And I want to thank the Dotsons and the city of Hemet for letting me buy this

locker.

I wonder what's in the fridge right here.

Let's see.

Do I even want to know?

Okay, it's a bit dirty, but it's not bad.

Fridges always sell. At least $100.

Well, this is my first time in Hemet. I made some friends. I made an enemy.

Made a mess of myself.

And I made some money.

And I'm ready to do this all over again.

I'm off to see Bridget Connelly at After Hours Vintage Boutique. Is this After

Hours? It sure is. Hi.

You know that old saying, y 'all, where there's smoke, there's a buyer.

Wow. Nice.

So I'm Lisa.

Hi, I'm Bridget. Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you.

And who's that?

This is Gidget.

Gidget and Bridget.

She's perfect.

She's got a fur baby with a rhyming name. I can definitely trust this woman.

This place is amazing. It's like Mad Men. Thank you. I love the movie Casino.

always kind of wished I was a kept mob wife.

That would be so bad. So this is my collection.

Amazing. So I brought some things for you to examine and share your thoughts.

Okay, there's this.

Okay. Should we start with this piece?

Oh, yeah.

It's just a cigarette holder. It looks like it's from the Art Deco period, so

I'd guess it was probably from the 40s.

So back in the day, when people would throw parties, they would offer

to their guests like this.

And then this guy. If I were to guess what year it's from, I'd say probably

50s. Back in the day, it used to be a music box.

Oh, back in the day.

Back in the now.

Yeah, I guess it's still working.

What song is it playing, Bridget?

I think that's Beyonce.

And then this piece right here.

This is so great.

Look at that.

Reminds me of a blooming onion.

Yeah, it does, kind of.

So this is cool. So you have your little cigarette just nestled in these little

holders. Oh, my gosh.

What era is this one from? I would guess this is from the 50s. It looks a little

bit more modern. The fact that it pops up like that, the mechanism in there

looks more advanced.

Okay, great.

And then, these are all together, so somebody was a fan of the smoke art. It

looks like it's got an alabaster base that should light up if it still works.

Oh, my gosh, so cool.

It lights up!

This is also in the style of art deco, I guess, from the chrome. It's from the

50s. The airlines used to give these away to aviation officials that were

ranking. What? That's so crazy. So they would have them in their offices and use

them as marketing for the airline.

Wow. It's such a cool piece. I love this.

Everything's for sale, Bridget. I'm racking up the value in my head. Okay,

great. Well, speaking of, are you going to light up my profits or are you going

to extinguish my hopes and dreams?

So with the condition of all the pieces and considering the rarity of

the items, you've got a pretty good haul here. Everything together, I'd say $1

,400. $1 ,400?

Mm -hmm. That's a lot.

All right, this calls for a drink. It's cocktail hour.

Let's do it. Let's go.

I brought my festive train to the head elf himself.

Where is this guy?

Where is he at?

Hopefully, he tells me something that fills me with Christmas cheer.

Hey, Santa.

Ho, ho, ho, my jingles.

Heidi, how have you been? I'm good. I haven't seen you since you were a little

boy. Yeah, that was a long, long time ago. You've gotten bigger.

Yeah.

What do you got here for me? Stuff.

I'm always getting stuff. Oh, my goodness.

Oh, my jingles. I haven't seen one of these.

In a very long time. This could be older than me. It might be.

I've grabbed these before, and they just crumble in my hand. So when this one

didn't crumble, I already knew. Good item. Old item.

That's two great things right there. This is really nice. You know, this is

out of the same thing they make those milk cartons out of?

Polyethylene. They blow mold these things. You take a big bubble of that

and they blow it into a mold.

You see this?

That's where the mold splits apart.

Oh, so it's two pieces together.

Yes, sir. And they have to glue them together with heat.

Ah. Nothing will glue polyethylene.

Look at the detail on these things.

Hand -painted. You'd think they were silk -painted or anything, but they're

-painted. Santa's even got the right color eyes.

He sure do.

He's got the little rosy red cheeks.

Mm -hmm. When they sit outside, the one problem is where the plastic is exposed

with white spots, the sun degrades them. That's why there's not very many of

these left around.

It's in such good shape, it looks like it's been stored indoors since 1972.

These things light up. They've got little lights inside.

Let's see if it works.

Let's see.

Let there be light.

Now, that's pretty sweet.

Lit up like Rudolph's nose.

Who said the spirit of Christmas is dead?

Ho, ho, ho.

I got a question for you.

Shoot. Where does Santa keep his money?

I keep my money in the snow bank.

The snow bank.

Well, Santa, speaking of bank.

Yes, sir.

How much can I put in my bank after I sell these?

Well. This is in incredible shape for being 53 years old.

It's got very little paint scratches on it. The plastic's all in really good

shape. Oh, it's got to be around $1

,200.

$1 ,200?

Thank you, son. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, too.

Son, I got one more question for you. Have I been naughty or nice?

You should check with Wendy, your wife.

Okay.

Ivy Calvin lit up the competition, amassing a $3 ,000 hoo -hoo haul.

Lisa Delarios' secondhand smoke score cut her a cool $1 ,400.

Kenny Crosley let slip the Dogs of Storage Wars, earning over $1 ,300

greenbacks. While newcomer Emily McCoy left the auction.

Sitting pretty.

Bonza!

Oh, I got this.

You can prune it, Kenny.

Kenny, prune it.

Water thy plants as thy water thyself.

All right. What are you gonna pay for the bonsai tools?

Four hundred, four and a half, five hundred, five and a half, five and a

five and a half, five and a half. If you need another cutter, Grandma's Attic

is always open.

Boy, growing fast, huh?
