Storage Wars: Season 4, Episode 15: “This Lamp’s for You.”
Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante cut the ribbon to officially open their second thrift store.
Darrell quipped to Brandon that his strategy today was to serve Jarrod a can of “whoop ass” simply because the auction was held near one of Jarrod’s thrift stores.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
Barry however displayed elegance as he rolled up in a white Rolls Royce.
Jarrod: Oh, my God. I just feel like they probably have Grey Poupon in there.
If you don’t get the pun, it’s about a commercial back in the day.
1st Storage Unit
Small, packed with a refrigerator, furniture, rubber containers, and trash bags. Darrell expressed to Brandon that this locker would be a good unit for someone who owned a thrift store, as to state the obvious to Jarrod and Brandi who were within earshot.
Darrell: This is French “Proventional.”
Jarrod and Brandi laughed. Darrell could not see the humor. Dude, pick up an encyclopedia or read a few books. It’s French Provincial.
Jarrod: He’s gonna write his own dictionary when this thing’s over.
No one showed any true interest except for Barry. He won the locker at $250. Barry and his “British” butler, Kinsley (he’s not a Brit, you’ll see why in a moment) dug through the locker.
Barry found a most unique time piece. Had it appraised by Rudd at Pasadena Antique Mall. Congreve clock designed by William Congreve in 1890. It’s a replica of one that sits in Buckingham Palace (fancy). Valued between $4,000-$5,000.
Kinsley mentioned to Barry they were on a tight “schedule” – aha! Brits do not pronounce schedule with a “K” sound but like this – SHed-ule. You need to hire better actors, Barry.
2nd Storage Unit
Boxes on top of boxes full of sports and Hollywood memorabilia. Locker was MONEY! Darrell vs. Jarrod as the two players kicked the bid to $4,000 to $7,000 to $10,000!
Brandi’s voice trembled with concern at $12,000.
Who won?
The Gambler at $13,500, the most money ever paid for a locker in the history of Storage Wars. So yes, Darrell did serve Jarrod and everyone else a can of whoop-ass. Darrell, his girl friend Kim, and Brandon dug through the boxes.
It was the HOLY GRAIL of all storage units ever on sold on the show.
Autographed memorabilia by huge sport stars such as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. Autographed baseballs, bats, photos, jerseys, and much more. Darrell could open up his own store with the amount of memorabilia inside the locker. He had a few WWII collectibles appraised, but seriously, it’s inconsequential because the locker’s worth a small fortune.
Darrell: When it comes to the history of my units, this one is going in the “Anals.”
O-M-G, no he didn’t, not twice on the show. Words that come out of his mouth… you can’t write this stuff!
3rd Storage Unit
Small cramped locker stuffed with non-matching washer and dryer, furniture, and boxes. I think the crowd went home because there was only one bid. Jarrod at $50.
Jarrod dug through the unit and it was deep. Dinning table with chairs. Sofa. It was however a lamp that perked Brandi’s interest.
They took the lamp to Dennis at Off the Wall Antiques. He stated it was a Budweiser Spectacular. Made around 1969-1970. It was a bubbled hanging lamp.
Inside were miniature Clydesdale horses symbolic of when they were used back in the 1920s to pull big barrel wagons. Miniature Dalmatians symbolic of how the dogs stood guard while men unloaded the wagons. Lamp valued at $475.
Profit Scorecard:
Darrell Sheets: $26,775
Barry Weiss: $4,905
Jarrod Schulz & Brandi Passante: $1,965
How much money do you think Darrell’s locker was worth in the superabundance of sports and Hollywood memorabilia?
