Storage Wars: New York: Who Likes Cotton Candy?

Storage Wars: New York: Season 2, Episode 7: “Legends of the Fog.”

John Luke lost on his way to the auction held at the Bronx, again! Joe P brought a buddy nick named, ‘Fog’ (don’t ask). Mike rushed out of his home amidst the shouts of family life. Phew, he made it out of the house in one piece. Candy and Courtney pumped for their pop-up sale at a burlesque show (don’t ask).

1^st Room
A Bronx mess. Old mattress, kitchen set, chess set, dirty clothes, cheap furniture, hard hats, tool box, boxes, and trash bags.

Mike: Typical Bronx room. Rough, tough, with a heart of gold, just like me.

Whatever you say, Mike. It still looked a mess. C&C planned to bid up Mike, but not by much. He won at $125. He found a Christmas tree (ugh). A hoodie with skeleton print he would keep (double ugh).

New picnic set, glassware, wine rack, snowboard, a mountain of clothes, and a remote controlled motorized boat – new in box.

Expert stated the boat clean of gas, definitely brand new. Stock motor with 2-channel remote control devaluated the boat. Estimated value at $900.

2^nd Room
Dresses, air conditioner, overabundance of clothes in bags and more bags. Candy really tempted, but Courtney? Not so much.

Courtney: I’m gonna put the Kibosh on that.

Candy wanted to serve Courtney a Kibosh and bid over their agreed limit. In the end however, Joe P put the Kibosh on all bids. Won at $350.

Not much mystery to this room. Bags of clothes, rack of clothes, fur coat, and a marble game.

Marble expert stated there were four things that determined the value of a marble: rarity, size, condition, and eye appeal. (Don’t say it, wait, ugh, yes… size does matter, ya happy?)

The mahogany board dated between 1890-1910. Condition not great. Chip on board and many of the marbles were chipped. However, rare find valued between $3,700-$3,800.

3^rd Room
Rubber containers, gumball machine, and junk. C&C wanted the room. Mike would make the gals pay for it. Tad excited to bid. Chris not in favor. Tad put his hand up to Chris’s face – Talk to the hand! Tensions rose.

RUMBLE IN THE BRONX!!!

Okay, not so much a rumble. More like a squeal, and it was all Chris. “It’s too much! It’s too much!” But Tad tuned a deaf ear to the squeals and smirked at Chris. He bid up the gals and made them overpay for the room.

Chris: Did Tad just bid up the girls? Who knew he had it in him.

C&C won the room at $350. Was it worth $350? Not even half that. Sigh. First box, Courtney uncovered self-help DVDs (irony not lost here). Knock-off purses, a suitcase, and uh, clown wig? That pop-up sale better bring in cash for the gals, and that it did, plus a surprise.

Sweet  Candy Olsen emerged onto the stage as the sexy, pole dancer Cotton Candy.  Ooo, la, la!

Profit Scorecard:

Joe P: $4,300
Mike Braiotta: $890
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $0
Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $1,330 (with pop-up sale)
