Storage Wars: Season 4, Episode 16: “There’s No Place Like Homeland.”
Dan and Laura Dotson got lost on their way to the city of Homeland. Laura said they needed to turn back around. Dan did what ever guy does, a quick illegal U-turn.
Dan: If you do an illegal U-turn, and there’s no cops around, is it really illegal?
I can’t disagree with that logic.
Casey Nezhoda gave her husband Rene pointers on how to speak English. One of the Harris brothers wanted to find a big $10k haul, but the other brother contested they still don’t know how to bid. Oh, and Barry Weiss drove a TANK to the auction!
It’s gonna be one of those weird days.
1st Storage Unit
About twenty boxes which were neatly stacked. Mostly sporting equipment. Bidding was quick like a ping-pong match.
Harris brothers stood in the back with Barry, completely out of it because they don’t know “How to understand an Auctioneer’s Chant.” Jarrod vs. Rene, but the German won this locker at $700.
Rene and Casey dug through the unit. Lacrosse equipment, desk top computer, fan, juicer, phone system, badminton set, clothes, and one really cool item.
Wizard of Oz chess set of sorts. Hand-painted character chess pieces along with a square container, all in pristine condition. Appraiser stated it was made by Star Jars with a trinity of uses.
Container part a cookie jar. Each ceramic character piece is a salt or pepper shaker. The entire collection was a chess set. Limited edition no. 251 out of 300, however, only 50-60 were known to exist. Valued at $3,700. Not bad, my little pretties!
2nd Storage Unit
Foosball table, desk, lamps, a pair of antique chairs, wall art, and several boxes. Everyone knew Barry wanted this room, so Jarrod made him pay, and that he did at $2,900.
Barry found an old sewing machine, a couple of John Thomas chairs still in the box, and one prized item, a cash register. He collected registers about thirty years ago. Had a nice collection too, but it’s gone. Divorce.
Barry: First they take the money. Then they take the cash registers.
Oh, Barry, that’s so funny, it’s sad. Appraiser stated this particular cash register was made for only five years, 1902-1906. Case design Bohemian, keys made of glass, still had good spring action, but some pieces needed to be replaced. Good news, it was valued at near $2,500. Bad news, to restore would cost near $1,300. Oh, well.
3rd Storage Unit
Plastic chairs, long aluminum ladder, vacuum cleaner, chest of drawers, pair of gynecological chairs, and boxes.
Harris brothers could not see the value in the locker. Cocky Rene asked if they wanted to be educated.
As, if!
Classy Kings of Swag don’t need lessons from you, Rene. That distraction cost Rene the opportunity to bid. Jarrod won at $1,000. Brandi mentioned it was crazy that there were two gynecological tables inside the unit.
Jarrod: That’s one for home and one of the office.
Brandi almost doubled over with laughter. Couple found one unique piece, what looked like a grill and sauna rocks. They took it to The Sweat Shop spa. Appraiser stated it was a Suanacore portable sauna. Grill that heated the sauna rocks.
Inside the grill were copper coils to generate heat. Rocks were not porous to hold the heat. Used model, not top-of-line, but they did have the complete set worthy of an $800 value.
Profit Scorecard:
Rene & Casey Nezhoda: $3,685
Jarrod Schulz & Brandi Passante: $608
Barry Weiss: loss of -$650
Mark & Matt Harris – $0
