Storage Wars: New York: Flash My Underpants

Storage Wars: New York: Season 1, Episode 2: “Lady Luck Comes to Harlem.”

Buyers headed to Harlem to try their luck. Would luck be a lady or burn the buyers like a scorned mistress… Let’s see.

Mike specifically wanted a room that would allow him to flip merchandise fast. His competition, never one to be boring, Joe P. He wanted a room that ‘talked’ to him. Oh if walls could talk, what these storage facilities would say.

Everyone’s favorite  gals Courtney & Candy recently purchased a van for $3,000! They wanted to find vintage clothes to fill it to make their money back.

Candy: Your cleavage, our heels…distract then go in for the kill.

Meanwhile, Tad wanted Chris to not get carried away and overbid on a crummy room.

1^st Room

Courtney & Candy found what appeared to be the perfect room. It was a messy with tons of bags and a funky purple fridge. Needless to say, not something the other buyers were interested in. Courtney snagged it for a mere $125. Looking to find a potential buried treasure, the girls pulled a halfway decent vintage fur from a garbage bag. Time for appraisal.

At a boutique, the shopkeeper gave them fantastic news. Their 70-80’s era fur coat was worth about $3,000! And that should cover the expense on purchasing the banana van.

Courtney: We can put so many tiny bottles of alcohol in there.

Everyone has their priorities…

2^nd Room

Lo and behold but what did we find in the second room? That’s right – more garbage bags! Joe P even used a black light to see if the clothes were clean.

Chris: I don’t need a dumb flashlight to tell me what’s good.

The Legend was all stealth. He subtly bid and won at $225. Looking for a score, Joe P. found interesting binoculars along with a bird watching guide. He cleverly deduced that the binoculars had some value. He took the binoculars to Central Park for appraisal. An expert was able to tell that the lenses indicated high quality materials. Valued at $1,000.

3^rd Room

It took some effort to get a glimpse inside the third room. We can blame (or thank) the third room as Candy accidentally flashed her underwear while she bent down to take a peak (let’s give her the benefit of the doubt on this one). Mike had an interest. He won at $700 then promptly caused a mini avalanche while unloading. Mike’s finds included computers and jewelry that he sold on the spot for $200 and $250.

What happened to Chris and Tad?

Harlem clearly wasn’t the place for them as they walked away with nothing.

Profit Totals:

Candy Olsen & Courtney Wagner: $3,010
Joe Paulticheck : $795
Mike Briotta: $615
Chris Morelli & Tad Eaton: $0
