Storage Wars: Season 4, Episode 2: “Breathalyze This.”
Barry brought a partner. Jarrod was without his partner. Both were bad ideas. Auction was held in Huntington Beach.
Brandi scouted for space for a new store. Jarrod left alone to bid without a limit. Pray, Brandi, pray.
Barry brought Charles Kitch, who once appraised an antique item for him a time back. You would think an appraiser would curb Barry’s spending; but the opposite happened.
1st Storage Unit
Stacked with craft items. Boxes labeled Halloween, Easter, Valentines day, etc.
Brandon: Craft = Crap.
Barry gave Jarrod a hard time and asked if he was going to call the wife.
Barry: Now call Brandi and tell her what you saw.
Jarrod: Why you so concerned about my wife all the time, man? You’re too old to do anything with her anyways.
Barry: Well, I wasn’t last night.
Gotcha!
Even Jarrod couldn’t help but laugh. Charles advised Barry the first unit was worthless. Did Barry listen? Uh, no. He won the unit at $425; then wondered why he got it for such a cheap price.
Say it with me: Craft = Crap!
2nd Storage Unit
Mes-sy maximum. Barry wanted it. Charles advised him that there were no antiques or quality to the items. Barry won the unit at $800.
Why bring an appraiser if you don’t heed his counsel?
3rd Storage Unit
Bicycles and a tremendous amount of household items. Time for the Schulz attack, but Barry wanted this storage unit too. Jarrod had to pay $1,600 to beat Barry.
What did the Barry find in his two units of value? Not much. One item to appraise was a 3-D viewer with 3-D stereoscopic slides; possibly from the 1840s.
Barry and Charles took the items to the Museum of Photography. What surprised the curator was that many of the 3-D slides were still in good condition. Plus Barry managed to have the entire volume for the “Tour of the World” 3-D slide series.
This 3-D viewer with this type of world photos allowed people to see images such as the Arc de Triomphe, without actually going to Paris. Viewer and slider, however appraised at a mere $650.
Jarrod was in the pen after Brandi saw the items from the storage unit he bought. Fishing rods, old wooden glider, BBQ pit, bikes, and miscellaneous items.
Brandi: I can’t believe the first time I didn’t go to an auction with you, you buy crap.
His get out of jail free card was a breathalyzer kit with case. The couple drove to a local police station with an employee they believed drinks on the job.
Captain Tim Saab stated the Lifeloc brand was the brand law enforcement uses for alcohol tests on the field. Kit had the chargers, handheld breathalyzer and a handheld printer to print results. Kit was complete, but did it work?
Officer tested the breathalyzer on Jarrod’s reluctant employee and yup, he had been drinking on the job that day. Capt. Saab appraised the kit at $1,500. Brandi exhaled with relief as did Jarrod. Not sure of the fate of the employee, though.
Profit Scorecard:
Barry Weiss: $1,363
Jarrod Schulz & Brandi Passante: $160
Darrell Sheets: $0
Brandi was allowed to step inside a police car, play with the lights and use the radio mic. You know, she looked good behind the wheel of a police car. Maybe she should consider a new reality show: Brandi’s Law. You know you’d watch…
