In the end John wins the lot at Ł800. Nat is not happy.

Back to storage unit number 1 to take a look at Linda’s safe. Linda had to hire a locksmith for Ł300 to crack open the safe.

Danny is going all in for this unit. Darren and Barry are interested since they would be able to sell it all right away.

If it’s not obvious Nat is still not happy.

Further inspection reveals old movie theater chairs. Two old projectors. A box of movie reels.

Sean points out they have made a profit, but Nat is not happy. She thought they were going to go big today. This from the same woman who thought she might find a speed boat in a bin.

Back to storage unit number 4 with Danny. Some nifty looking light equipment.

A box full of old vinyl records. A smoke machine. Speakers. And bingo, a huge score – a sound rack.

  • I think that the best part of the episode was the safe. OF course there is always some excitement as to what might be in there, but you have to prepare for the worst as well.
