I thought this was interesting.
In episode 212, Allen and Ton "find" an rc viper jet in a storage unit. They proceed to "sell" it to Tons friend Billy for $9k.

Yet, on an rc auction web page, Billy is selling the same jet for $6k

The problem is that in the auction ad Billy claims to have "built this plane myself about 8 months ago". As an interested person points out, how could billy have built the jet himself and it have been found randomly in a locker at the same time?
Either the show or the seller is lying. I tend not to put faith in "reality TV"...
