Welcome to garage sales Unhinged.
Where the characters are as quirky as the vines.
I'm Julie. And I'm Jake.
Join us as we dive into the wild world of garage sales, yard
sales, estate sales, and anywhere secondhand sales are
happening from. Bizarre bargains to hilarious
haggles. You won't believe the stories
we've got lined up. Let's get unhinged.
So I'd like to commend you one like you're, you're sticking
with it. You're doing the podcast thing
even though you don't feel 100%. You know, I mean, if it required
me to be 100% to do anything in my life, I'd probably do
nothing. Yeah, I will say.
So we're recording on a weekend, even though this comes out on
Tuesdays. I did ask my husband very
lovingly this morning through my raspy voice.
You know what? I don't know how I sound coming
across, but is this now like a 900 number podcast?
Right. Also, for the kids out there,
ask your parents what a 900 number is.
That'll be a fun family conversation.
Yeah, make sure you ask with mom in the room that.
'D be cool or even better with grandpa in the room.
You sound no different. You you sound the same.
OK, well then maybe it's just the maybe my ears are muffled, I
don't know. But I asked my husband this
morning in a very loving voice, can we flush out the hot water
heater today? Because our hot water heaters
been making little pinging noises.
And that's a clear sign that it needs to be flushed and all
that. And he and I both travel quite a
bit. And it is one of the things in
the back of my mind that and like whenever I'm traveling, I'm
like, I mean, what if the hot water heater floods the house
and our hot water heaters in the house?
So he did do it today. And whenever I said, Hey, can we
do it, he took it as the royal we and he did it.
So I'm, I'm very thankful to him for doing it.
But we've been in our house for, Oh my gosh, eight years now, and
this is the first time that we've ever flushed the hot water
heater. So the ownership is.
Fantastic. Is that bad?
Are you supposed? How often are you supposed to do
that? I don't know.
Let me let me ask the Internet. Now I'm really worried.
Let's see, it says oh, at least once a year.
Oh wow. OK.
It says if you have hard water, live in a high mineral area or
have a large household, experts recommend flushing every six
months. Yeah, I see.
Yeah, anyway, you know. Once a year.
Once every eight years. You know, you're not the worst.
You know, there's people out there that you know, they're
like, oh, I'll when they flush it out, there's like, you know,
old, an old prospector skeleton comes out of there.
Yeah. Oh, my thing was is, you know,
we were on the cusp of like, man, that thing's making a lot
of noise. And it was like, well, is it a
simple a solution of just, you know, flushing it out, or do we
need to get a new hot water heater?
So fingers crossed, you know an hour out of the weekend, fix the
issue and now we won't have to worry about it and not have to
add one more thing to the list of things that we have replaced
in this house. So that's the the whole deal
where you when you're flushing a hot water heater, you got to
hook up a a garden hose to it. Yeah.
And run it out. So did I mean, I know you guys
have a pool. Did you just like stick it in
the pool? That'd be that'd be fun.
I think that was my husband's initial intention because he was
going to run the water hose underneath our bed, through the
hallway down to where our hot water closet is.
Sounded like sounded like it's turning into a home alone trap.
You know, Oh yes, it would have. And whenever I got my Home
Office renovated, we actually put in French doors that got to
our side yard. And I walked into our bedroom
whenever he was trying to crawl underneath the bed to like feed
the water hose through. And it's like, no, no, no, no,
no, just have it dump out into the side yard.
And because I think he intended to just have the water dump into
the pool that we just, we let it.
That's a really bad idea. Don't.
Yeah. And I'm glad, I'm glad we did it
through the side yard because there wasn't, you know, rusty
mineral colored water that came out of the hose.
But anyway, so the the yard got water in minerals.
So like, no, we had, we had a you and I were talking about
planning to record and I had mentioned, oh, hey, you know,
the timing might really work out because I've, I've got my eye on
an online auction that earlier today their website said started
closing at 3 and I pulled it up and now it says 7.
Yeah. And rather than me like walk you
through the auction as I'm doing it live, I'll just instead kind
of talk a little bit about the the items that I saved to my
watch list. Well, OK, hold on.
Before you do that, this Jake texted me this morning and said,
hey, there's this live auction that I want to do and all I said
will send me the link of it. I'm also bidding on stuff.
So as you're talking about things, I want to know if we're
bidding against each other. You bastard.
The other thing is too like the logistics of this, if you do win
the auction for your item, they have set times tomorrow.
So tomorrow which is Monday, and then the next day which is
Tuesday to go pick up your items during set hours.
That's going to be so confusing to anybody listening to this on
a Tuesday. Just know it's supposed to be
like on a Monday and Tuesday when you go pick up your items
and the place for to go pick it up, it's about an hour and a
half away from me and the items that I'm bidding on are not that
expensive. And so I'm like, man, I hope
Jacob wins because then he can just pick up my items.
Yeah, well, you can help me out, you know.
Yeah, I'll, I'll Jacob, I'll grease, I'll grease your palm.
Like go pick up my stuff. There you go.
You know it's a cool sight. I I was really struggling with
this. I don't know, you know when you
find a honey hole, You know when you find, oh man, this is where
the juice is. This is where the action is.
This is where it's at. Do you tell other people and
other people start showing up and ruining the fun?
Because like, I'm worried about airing this, this website and
other people are going to, I'm not going to be able to like get
my, my, my Tom Jones records, you know?
Well, OK, so let's let's talk about some of the stuff that's
in this auction because to your point, if there was some really
very cool things that are like constant collectibles or high
value things, then yeah, you might want to keep that to
yourself. However, whenever I first got in
here, there's like 4 rolls of gorilla waterproof patch and
sill tape. Yeah, unopened.
Unopened there are there's new 6 can case of Zevo wasp insect
killer. So as I'm looking at some of
these lots that are in this auction, you know, it would be
ideal for a small business that needs those types of things or
someone who's a reseller in the material supply industry.
Like, you know, you can get some good bargains at these auctions.
But to your point, Jake and I and I kind of have a guess of
what items you're bidding on. They'll be good.
Let's do that. Yeah.
Go on please. I, I, yeah, some of the stuff is
like industrial supply stuff and I'm like share it with folks.
I'm not, I'm not competing for that stuff.
However, the things I think you are bidding on.
Now, Matt, before you get to that, because I really like
where you're going to go here, a little bit more about the
auctions at this place. So there's different auction
houses that list their stuff on this website entirely online.
You can bid any time and you can save items to a watch list so
that, you know, this is my curated list.
I don't have to look at all the other stuff.
Different auction houses, man. Like sometimes it's an actual
estate sale for a house. There was one such last week in
a town that is, you know, an hour and a half from me, like in
the middle of nowhere. And the pickup would have been
during the work week. Can't do that.
And it's a shame because it was a an auction, it was a, an
estate sale and so much in the house was genuine mid century
Modern furniture, lighting, way cool stuff.
And even to the point that they said, OK, you know, like, like
genuinely everything in the house had to go.
And then the very last item on on the site was the house
itself. Oh.
And they said, you know, like you can, you can technically buy
the house like we're keeping the land if you want to, you know,
make a bit. But I think at the time it was
like $10,000. You can bring your trailer, try
to move it, or you can just buy all of the materials the house
is made of and take as much as you want.
Anything you don't you don't want leave, we'll get rid of it.
That's interesting it. Was crazy.
So there's some of that and yeah, there's some other stuff
where like these these auction houses, it's kind of like
storage wars. They go and they they buy a
storage unit. They'd have no idea what's
inside whatever's inside. That's what shows up on this
auction site. Yeah.
So that's what I think this is you're seeing.
Yeah, like this. A lot of the stuff in there seem
to have belonged to some contractor, and that's why
you've got a, you know, 8 a lot of eight rolls of Gorilla tape,
Yeah. And 16 pairs of leather gloves
and painters, coveralls by the box and everything like that.

Well, can I can I guess what one of the items are that you're
bidding on? OK, do you want me to say the
lot number or you want me to describe what the item is?
Describe it. Describe.
So Julie, wait. So you're taking what you you're
deducing. You know, your powers of
deduction are on display here, what you know of me and you're
reading from that what items I might be bidding on.
Yes. So this is going to be pretty
revealing already a pretty good handle on who you think I am
when we we are siblings. So you're probably going to,
you're probably going to kill at this, so.
I hope so. So I'm looking at a large
vintage Lucite. Great cluster.
Did I get it right? No, why would you think I'd want
that? Because it's vintage and like,
and you have, I'm going to say like a mid century modern ranch
style house and it screams mid century modern ranch style.
You know, I, I will give you credit, there have been previous
auctions where I have grabbed stuff like that because it works
for the house, you know, it, it looks like.
There you go. Yeah, but no, don't have my, I
don't have my eye on that bunch. Oh, grapes, man.
Not a not the strongest start from Julie.
Well, OK, so all of my, all my guesses are going to be the
vintage like the core things. Are any of those right?
Let me look through them. I'm like looking at my watch
list right now. So so this is my first time
using the auction house and I have a watch list going to.
How do I find my watch list? Go to the top and click on watch
list. So Julie said that there's two
websites, you know, on a previous episode, and she's kind
of proving out that she really does believe that.
If only there were true. I think things will be better.
OK, well apparently so. Are any of your items any of the
decor things? Only only one thing was
considered. I wouldn't say vintage.
It's listed as retro. Oh.
Is it 1 of? Is it one of the like glass
decor things like OK, well, I'm going to, I'm going to man, I'm
I'm faltering. What are you bidding on?
Well, I've got my eye on I'm not going to bid until it's closer
to closing because if you start bidding now, you're just driving
up the price and then what are you doing?
What are you doing? You bet you bidding against
yourself. Like you wait until the last
five minutes to see what the price is and then you start
bidding. OK, well, I'm an amateur because
I've already bid on some things. Yeah, don't do that.
Don't do that. You wait until the last because
what's it what's the timer on these items clicks down to 5
minutes. Any bid that comes in resets the
clock to 5 minutes. Oh.
And as long as people are bidding, that clock keeps
resetting. Oh, so even if the cell ends at
like 7:00 tonight, it'll still keep going if people are
bidding? Yep.
Oh that sucks. OK like I got to go to bed and
also I'm sick so I've been taking Nyquil.
I am. This is for.
Sure, going to bed early. You've heard of drunk shopping,
you know. Wait until he has medicated
shopping. OK.
So tell me what you're bidding on it or do you want to guess
what I'm bidding on? Then let me I'm going to look at
the full full list of stuff. And also for, for people that
are listening, this auction has, it's like if you're looking at
25 items per page, there's like 5 or 6 pages.
So if that gives you, there's a couple of 100 items in this
singular auction that's going on right now.
You know, from your comment earlier you didn't seem very
impressed by the gorilla tape. Thought about it.
I've man, like I don't think you're interested in like any of
like the contractor stuff. Hey, you know, I think you could
go for some snow boots. I think that is really kind of
up your alley. What size shoe do I wear Jacob?
You know, you'd be shocked, but I don't know that.
What size are those snow boots? They're size 10.
Moving on. So there's some stuff on here I
don't even know what it is. What is a?
So there's a lot of 12 safety
sleeves. Is this a welding thing?
Man? Like it.
It'd be really great audio to listen to me scroll through all
these things. Sorry, holding safety sleeves,
yes you're mainly going to wear them in on a construction site
welding. But I'm also like could be for
cooking bacon, I don't know. Right.
I mean, it could just be a fashion thing.
You could totally buy those safety sleeves because there's
multiple in that, in that box, in that lot.
They couldn't just give them out to friends as bacon sleeves.
Bacon sleeves. Oh man, that's going to really
upset people if you can't eat it though, you know, and call it
that. OK, bacon cooking sleeves.
There you go. Speaking of which, my husband
said he was going to cook bacon today and he hasn't done that.
Listen, the man drained the water heater.
What else do you want? Bacon.
Yeah, that makes sense. I am looking I've I've scrolled
down and I've come across the Lucite grape cluster that is
pretty tempting to. See, I I saw that and I was like
Jacob's bedding on that one. I don't know where I'd put it.
In your Grape Hole. It's in an anatomy book, kids.
Look it up. So I don't know, I I really
couldn't even venture a guess. Julie, what are what are you
going to, what have your eye on? OK, how many items are you
watching? Oh, maybe like half a dozen.
OK, well, I'm only watching. Well, I'm only bidding on three.
Are you? Are you ready for this?
Yeah, I'm ready for this. One it's the lot is a new mini
projector. OK.
So the box of it, it shows it like it would be an outdoor
projector that you would be able to stream a show, a movie,
something on the outdoor. And I think you, and I've talked
about this before, I want a projector so I can paint murals
on walls in my house. However, like it's kind of a for
people that don't know what this is like you can take a
projector, put up a, an image that you want to put on a wall
or a piece of paper or something like that.
And it's almost like you, you sketch it out, you, you just
follow the lines and then it's a paint in the number type thing.
Like at by the end of it, I'm like, oh, that looks really
good. I'm not an artist, but I can
make that work as long as I have a go buy something.
So I'm watching that right now. Hopefully I'll get it.
The second item I'm watching it's a telescope kit and I have
a similar telescope to what they are showing on here.
I may have the same exact telescope.
However, we have some friends that they have a beautiful
property West of where I live. It's out in the middle of
nowhere. They have you can see all sorts
of stars at night and all that stuff.
And there's times where I'm like, I should have brought my
telescope out here to look at stars, moon, whatever.
And I thought, well, if I buy this telescope, and for people
that are curious, right now I'm the high bidder at $7.00.
But if I can get this telescope, that is something I can take out
to their property and leave there.
So anyone can enjoy the telescope if they know how to
use it. You know, the really fun thing
is you, you some of these items, there's enough information that
you could look it up. Yeah.
And see what this would go for retail.
Yeah, there's AI mean of all the lots on there.
I mean, I think all the lots you could probably turn around,
resell it and make a substantial markup on it.
These are also I'm only betting on things that I would actually
want to use. Right.
Totally. Yeah.
And then my last thing that I'm looking at it's lot 359 button
maker press and lot of button bin, so you can make your own
personalized buttons. Like a button that you wear on
your shirt. Yeah, like your flair.
So right now I'm the high bidder at $4.50.
Heck yeah. Like how would you make the like
design on like the button face? Is that part of it or just?
So one of my friends actually has one of these button maker
you you printed out on just regular prints paper and then
the button has a clear coating snap thing.
So the the button maker press is that you put the clear like the
cap on it, you put the back of the button on it, you put your
design in the middle of it. And then whenever you crimp it
all together, that's what the press is it.
It forces the button all together.
So I do a lot of speaking engagements.
I have couple companies and like this is a great way for me to
create very cheap swag, very relevant things in the moment if
I wanted to create buttons and like the whole flare thing makes
me laugh and especially going to conferences, people want
something to put on their lanyards and I thought I can
make something very funny in the moments that people could wear.
That, that's fantastic. Yeah, so.
It would technically be a a business expense if I win it so.
Well, then go nuts. Yeah, you know, and if you
don't, if it doesn't work out with that projector, I've got 10
that I mean, it's not many, I'm not sure how many this thing is,
but it'll, it does the same damn thing and I got it through one
of these auctions, so. Well, there, I'll just take
yours. Well, reverting back to being
able to bully Jake. You know you can borrow mine.
Like, no, I'll just take yours. Yeah, we'll just do that.
Yeah, I didn't say I was going to borrow it.
Go ahead and get in this locker real quick, that'd be great.
Well, and I just looked up on, you know, trusty Amazon of other
button press machines go to. Otherbuttonpressmachines.com.
You know, for the most part, like the heavy duty ones, you're
going to spend around $30. So yeah, we'll see what happens.
And what's the, what's the bid on, on this one right now?
$4.50. Hell yeah.
Yeah. Hell yeah.
So. This ends up becoming like a a
week, a weekend, like a Sunday evening thing 'cause these
auctions go up generally Sunday evenings and got to start
checking it around, you know, in the evening and it's fine.
The other thing is, too, that this auction house has
previewing or sorry, purview hours that you can.
Yeah, it's not a preview, it's a purview.
Oh, really? OK.
Yeah, they have hours. You can go and look at all the
lots. So like especially if you're
going to be reseller, definitely do that.
But they have they have light bulbs, they have furniture, they
have all sorts of things. So you could go through and look
at all there. There is one lot I'm not
watching. I it came really close to
bidding on that. It was a set of four camo mesh
hats. Are you bidding on that one?
No, but why was that of interest to you?
Because I almost made a joke that you were going to bid on
that. Wow.
So I like having extra hats in our like we have pool supplies
by our back door that goes out to our pool area.
And I like having extra hats there for people that come over
that want to get in the pool and they forgot a hat because I'm
all about, hey, let's not get sunburned and let's keep skin
cancer at Bay. So like I like to have extra
hats on hand and also the camo mesh.
They're actually really good breathable hats.
And so again, I can take some out to our friends land and
leave some out there so I'm not having to cart hats back and
forth. I just, you know, I had this fun
idea that instead, it had nothing to do with sun
protection. It's just like, yeah, yeah.
In our house, we take off our shoes and we wear hats.
So go and take those off. Put this on.
Honestly, I think my husband would prefer if I wore like a
hairnet 'cause my hair tends to like shed everywhere.
That'll be a pretty good bit. Everybody, every time somebody
comes in you, they hand them a hat.
It's just the most and it gets more and more, you know, like
ill advised and. By the end of the night,
someone's wearing it. By the end of the night,
someone's wearing a Chiquita banana lady hat.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
It's just customary in our house.
This is what you wear. This is what we do.
So I'm I have my eye on the collapsible baton.
OK, hold on for me. Just to clarify, I know which
one you're talking about. This is not like a baton that
you throw during the halftime at a football game.
It's not shit. This is a police baton.
Why do you need this? Oh, no reason.
No, no reason that can be recorded and played back for
posterity. Wait, so whenever I come get the
projector there you? Go.
That's right. It's my sister's day.
Yeah, you know what you like. You know what else?
Telescopes. No.
I'm also at my eye. I'm kind of looking at this
retro mid century upholstered bench.
Is that it's like a it's a lime green, yellow looking.
Thing. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. It's it's cool, but that's an
item. And this is another thing going
on with these auctions. Sometimes these auction houses
stuff doesn't sell or somebody didn't come and pick it up and
it shows back up. This bench is one of them, but
I'm probably not going to go for it because in a previous auction
they had this thing and like a matching chair.
So. I'm probably not going to do
that, but so I'm probably going to let that one go and that'll
be OK. All of the my frown will turn
upside down if I can get my next item.
Hold on, I want to say something real quick about that furniture
because I saw it. I thought it was cool.
And again, to your point, hey, I know there's a matching chair,
they probably don't have the matching chair anymore.
I will say the bench looks like it probably needs a little bit
of work done for it. The the cushion seemed a little
bit not so full anymore. I also wonder if that bench kind
of like if it folds or something like I wonder if there's like
something mechanically wrong with it.
I don't think it's, I think it looks like it's one piece, but
this is where you would go to purview day to purview length.
Well, I was going to say for people that are furniture
flippers, these auctions are a great source for you.
If you can buy something like this for 5:10, 20-50 bucks, put
in the the elbow grease to you know, refurbish it and then sell
it for several 100. If you have the space and the
tools and everything to get that done, these auctions are great
for that. You know, maybe a different
podcast episode. I'll, I'll show some of the OR
share some of the stuff I've gotten from this place.
It it's yeah, if, if you are in the business of trying to just
turn it around, I'm going to buy this thing for $8 and I'm going
to listen on Facebook marketplace for 30 easy.
So next item I'm looking at Julie is the Chinese Meat
Cleaver with box. I know exactly what you're why?
Why do you need that? I need to cleave my meat.
No, you don't. It is that thing is also that
thing looks like it's been used before and maybe not just in the
kitchen. It might have been like, you
know, I don't know if it was a movie pro, It looks like it was
the real deal. And it was probably chopped off
some fingers, like, yeah, that thing was heavy duty and like
means business. Hey, you know I have a dream of
opening the potato restaurant and this looks like it could cut
a potato just as well as anything.
You know, I think they're also selling a sword on this auction.
Why don't you get a sword to cut your potatoes?
I am looking at the Cortana as well.
I'm going I'm going full grim man mode.
Like this is all very depressing stuff for a guy to own, but I
think it'd be hilarious to get one of these and the idea like
the Cortana would be a gift for like one of our nephews or
something like that. I think that'd.
Be great, I want you to stack up potatoes on the Cortana.
Yes. And then gift it to somebody.
Served up yo Jimbo style. But yeah, a lot of the stuff I'm
looking at as like potential gifts for others.
And honestly, like there have been times like when it's
around, you know, the holidays, I'm going, I'm going to do all
the Christmas shopping I can do on this site.
So I started looking at it in September and I just, you know,
I look at it with these family members in mind and it's a,
you'll find really unique stuff. And even if it's not unique,
you're finding it for a fraction of what you.
Jacob, you cannot tell our dad about the site because Dad, Dad
loves a bargain. Our dad, like many people our
age, their parents were raised by parents that lived through
the Great Depression. He doesn't get rid of anything.
My dad, and I say this lovingly, is a Rat pack.
No. What?
A crooner. I don't know that he's really
worn A seersucker suit and he has not been part of a Las Vegas
casino heist. He's like, no, that was part of
the Rat Pack. Why do I work?
It's. Our trust No, he's a pack rat.
The. Hairline.
So I, I mean, I still remember growing up, Dad would have empty
peanut butter jars in his shop of just random screws and nails
and stuff because you never know when you needed it and he would
have it. But yeah, if you made him aware
of this virtual auction site are his entire and my parents entire
nesting might be gone just because he it's also this is the
thing with like auctions, it can get very competitive and if you
have a competitive or a gambling streak, you have to know when to
say no and I don't know you got. To know when to hold them and
you also got to know when to fold them.
Yeah, I don't think our dad knows that limit.
So but yeah, don't don't share this with that.
You can buy a gifts for dad off of this but do not share this
website with. Him, you know, it's hilarious.
I think in a previous episode we did, I kind of made the offhand
joke about Dad's gambling problem.
It was a joke and here you are reinforcing it.
I mean, come on, you know, if there was an auction that had a
lot of hunting equipment on there, that, yeah, everything
our parents had saved would be gone.
And that's the fun thing is like week to week.
That's a fun thing. Like sometimes it like they
bought a storage unit that belonged to a hunter.
Well, but hold on, that's the fun thing.
You can come to this auction and go into the poor house.
No, let's not. Let's not do this.
But so no, it's, it's a fun, it's a fun thing to do.
It is a, a different kind, a different way of participating
in the secondary market. I like that.
I mean, like you can go to the yeah, you can go to the Purview,
but it's, it is kind of fun to do it from a remove like this.
And yeah, when it gets down to the wire that you see that clock
ticking down and you're the winning bidder and there's 28
seconds left and somebody bids on it and you're like you, you
know, you got some choice words for them.
But I've I've I've bought designer handbags on this thing
like legit I've. Never seen you wear one.
Yeah, You know, it's really just more for me, so.
Well, I, I will say, you know, because this auction is going to
end this evening, I'm probably going to be doped up on some
Nyquil and heading to Dreamland very soon.
So we'll see if I can limit myself or if drugged up, Julie
decides that that was a really good idea to spend that kind of
money on a kind of a cheat telescope.
So we'll see what happens. And we'll see if at the end of
this thing if I'm dual wielding a meat cleaver and a Cortana and
maybe wearing a camouflage bucket hat.
OK, Jake, this is now at the end of the episode, so if our
listeners have actually stayed with us this entire time, do you
want to share with them the name of the site?
It is Texas. Hold on.
I lost it. Texas online auction house.
Yeah. What?
What's really fun about the site, too?
You go to it and you're like, it's rare that you go to a a
website that immediately makes you feel like you stepped back
into the early 2000s. Yes, yeah, it's not, it's not
fancy. It's not not, I'm going to say
not modern, but also it does exactly what it needs to do.
And I, I actually, I was such a dweeb about it.
I, I went to go pick up my items one time and I thought the
people, you know, with the warehouse, with the stuff in it,
I thought it was their side. So I was like commending their
website, but I was like, this thing's got no ads on it.
Like, I don't know, they might be like two or three sites you
can go to. They have no ads on it.
And it's like, it's actually really great.
Yeah, there's the pop ups. There was no autoplay videos.
There was like, it was just the option and it was like, and then
you realized just how bad everything else had gotten.
But I go to a site like there's no banner ads.
What's happening? It's also probably why the site
runs pretty efficiently, so nothing dragging it down.
I will say because this is an option site that is based in
Texas, one of the lots. I'm not watching it, but I did
consider it. There's an A lot in this auction
that is a, it's a Winchester gun case for like a pistol, not a
rifle anything, but it's a, a firearm gun case.
And the firearms not being sold, but there is ammo being sold
with it. And I don't know if you've
bought ammo lately, but it is very expensive.
I have, I'm trained at concealed carry license.
I have all the legal paperwork that I need, but I have a 9mm
and they're selling 9mm ammo. And I was like, man, if I can
get it for that price, that is such a bargain because ammo is
expensive. And then state of Texas, you can
buy ammo through auctions. But I thought that was
interesting and I came really close to putting a bid on it.
But maybe I'll have to watch it as we get closer to 7:00.
You can go my route and just, you know, you're the, the
silent, you know, snake eyes guy with a meat cleaver and probably
a packet of soy sauce in his pocket.
And a Tatana and all the other weird.
Stuff you're watching, keep in mind like if anybody does, go
check this out, so if they're not disappointed.
The auctions on this site are strictly to this region.
Yes, it's not statewide. And you have to pick up.
I didn't see any options where they would ship it to you.
So like I said, if I win something I have to drive or
send my loving brother who will do it for me for $5, you have to
go and pick it up. So even if I go on here and
there's a, let's say there's an auction in Corpus Christi that
is a six hour drive for me, I'm likely not going to bid
something that is down there, right?
So so yeah, no cool resource, cool experience every time
because you never know where you're going to find and you
don't have to go anywhere. I know.
I know that's the best thing is I can I just can practice my bad
posture and slump on my couch and have the laptop and go.
I am now a sword man and it's it's a lifestyle that I embrace.
I'm sworded. I hope I win that button press
because I'm going to make you a button that says sword man
sword. Man.
Yeah, just a bit. It's it's Jewish.
It's swordman. Swordman.
Lovely. Well, Jake, thanks for making me
aware of this auction house. We'll see how we do.
I'm glad we're not bidding against each other, but clearly
you have. We have different tastes, but
no, this is fun. It's been a fun Sunday watching
and her viewing some of the things online and seeing what
things will go for later today. Well, good luck at it.
We'll maybe we'll do a breakdown on how it turns out later on.
Sounds good, talk to you later. Bye bye.
