Highlights
Eight abandoned storage units are up for grabs in Dallas, Texas. Three teams, 'Pawn Pilots', 'Loot Goblins', and 'Bargain Buckaroos' (later 'Bargain Sniffers', an individual team, set out with a $1,000 budget to bid on the units and cherry-pick five items each for valuation.
The first box, unit 104, is opened with some difficulty due to a strong American lock. The Pawn Pilots and Loot Goblins engage in a bidding war for a unit containing what appears to be DeWalt power tools and a model Corvette. The Loot Goblins win the unit for $235, hoping for hidden value.
The second unit, 122, reveals a hot tub and what appears to be a car under a cover. The teams speculate on the car's value, and a silent auction is held for this unit. The Loot Goblins win again for $400, despite skepticism about the contents.
Unit 253 is full of miscellaneous items, including mannequins. Bidding is initially slow, but quickly escalates. The Bargain Buckaroos win this unit for $325, hoping for a hidden gem among the clutter.
Unit 308 presents a large safe and an LV suitcase, immediately raising the excitement among the teams. The Pawn Pilots are determined to win this unit, believing it holds significant value. The bidding intensifies, with the Pawn Pilots securing the unit for $512.
Unit 354 is unveiled, containing what looks like a 'Make America Great Again' hat and other political memorabilia. The Pawn Pilots secure this box for $250. Later, it's revealed there's a ninth box, changing the teams' strategies.
Unit 905 is opened, containing old books, baseball cards, and a box of ammunition. The teams are wary of the ammunition but acknowledge the potential historical value of some items. This unit goes to the Loot Goblins for $123.
The seventh and eighth boxes (541 and 510) are claimed by the Pawn Pilots. Unit 541 appears to contain mostly junk, while unit 510 reveals several sealed Pokemon Pokéballs, creating a glimmer of hope amidst disappointment.
The Loot Goblins and Bargain Buckaroos begin sorting through their units. The Bargain Buckaroos' unit (322) is found to be full of mostly trash, including postcards and a 'Starlink' box that only contains cables. The Loot Goblins, however, find various coins, framed historical documents, and some shoes that they hope hold value.
The Pawn Pilots uncover old coins, possibly genuine jewelry, and a Louis Vuitton suitcase which they believe could be real. They also find a horse saddle. Later, they find a traffic light, which one member wants to submit. They also discover a taxidermied porcupine and beaver.
The experts arrive to value the chosen items from each team. The Pawn Pilots' taxidermied beaver and porcupine are valued at $700 each. The Bargain Buckaroos' Trump crystal glasses are valued at $100-$150 each, and a traffic light at $300. The Loot Goblins' items from unit 308, including a signed Post Malone guitar, are highly valued, while their coins and a "JFK-signed cabinet" are less valuable than anticipated. The scrap car and hot tub are valued at $150 and $10 respectively. The sealed Pokemon Pokéballs are valued at $50 each. Ultimately, Josh and Harry from the Bargain Buckaroos win with a profit of $2,975.
