Storage Wars: New York: Season 1, Episode 6: “I’ve Got A Bridge To Sell You In Brooklyn.”
Chris and Tad hoped to break an unlucky streak. Chris wanted to ride Joe P’s coat tails. After all, The Legend consistently stole every room they wanted thus far. Mike headed to Brooklyn counting on acquiring some bigger items. Despite some quips from the other players. Mike we’re looking at you! Candy and Courtney came equipped with the big bucks.
Mike: The chicks have no clue what life is about.
1st Room
Contents didn’t necessarily have our buyers jumping for joy, but it did peak the interest of Mike and C&C. Mike bid about as much as he was willing to pay before dumping the room on Candy for a cool $800. A safe caught Courtney’s eye. Took some digging to find the key.
What was in the box?!
Safes hold money… it has to be money right? Right?!
That’s a big – No. Gals did find a ping pong ball machine designed to help players practice. Appraisers stated sports equipment was in mint condition. Valued at $2,100.
Candy: You know what I did find, balls.
2nd Room
Joe P’s sixth sense made a spooky appearance… until the price cap exceeded what he was willing to pay for it. Candy and Courtney were interested until the price spooked them, too. So at $375 Mike was the lucky winner – maybe. He wasn’t entirely sure this room was worth the risk.
It looked like Mike B. was going to break even or lose money (gasp!) until a magic drawer was opened. Inside was a pair of awesome vintage motorcycle gloves. He wanted value and he got some. Gloves appraised at $300. In classic The Hustler flip-for-quick-cash style; he sold the gloves on the spot to the appraiser.
3rd Room
Furniture and boxes – who knew what could potentially be stowed away! Bid war commenced, but bids only go as far as pockets are deep. Joe P definitely had the biggest pockets of the day. He paid $4,000.
Was it worth it?
Not so much.
Once the room emptied, it was clear that there was no mystery. Most interesting item – an old taxi meter from the 1940’s or 1950’s. Appraised for $200.
And guess what? Chris & Tad walked away empty handed but they also dodged a pretty big bullet.
Chris: Joe P’d again!
Any bets on when Chris & Tad will score a good one? Sound off!
Profit Totals:
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $1,600
Mike Braiotta: $325
Joe P: LOSS-$2,875
