Storage Wars: Canada: Season 1, Episode 3, “You Just Got “Roy’d”!”
Paul hankered for Bogart to understand the business. Had his son take notes. Pick knowledge over material things. Bogart not interested. He hankered for cash.
Ursula hankered for luxury items. Cindy and Rick didn’t hanker at all. Their daughter Terra drove them to the auction. (Must be nice to have your own personal driver.) Roy hankered to buy a storage unit. Instigator hun-gry to make mon-ey.
Slight rain in forecast; but that didn’t stop the rain of words. Cindy called Ursula a “Prima Donna.” Roy called the Kennys “Dumb and Dumber.” Such a friendly bunch.
1st Storage Unit
Holy Mother of God! Broken furniture, tossed about chairs, suitcase, and a plethora of boxes.
Borgart: Don’t bid on crap. Got it.
Roy didn’t hear Paul’s tip to hold back. Instigator won locker at $150.
Rick: Enjoy your $150 trip to the dump, Roy.
Instigator, time to dig. Filing cabinet – trash. Sofas – trash. Small appliance – trash. Pots & Pans – value. Finally. Time to make money. Antique fireplace log holder, laptop, wrist watch, DVD player, tool kit, Egyptian art, pair of green chairs, end table, and an old wooden bench with one broken leg.
Roy took his bench to a “hot cobbler” (his words, not mine). Shoe maker, in other words. She took one quick look. It’s a cobbler’s bench. Made with square nails which dated the bench to mid-late 1800s. Valued at $500.
2nd Storage Unit
Crap Mini-Me. Horrid sofa, sporting goods, camping gear, mattress, and garbage bags.
No one wanted this trash can. Roy tossed a bid at $10. Paul thought to show his son how it’s done and placed a bid at $20. Roy dropped the locker on Paul. OMG! Bogart heard his money flushed down the toilet.
Paul: I just got Roy’d.
Yes you did! Father and son dug through their locker. Paul found a heater.
Bogart: For when we’re living in the street.
Paul found a tent.
Bogart: Well, at least we’re off the street.
What else? Old sewing machine, ice skates, and six backpacks/suitcases. Unique find – a bagpipe (only in Canada). Bogart bet that he would wear a kilt and play the bagpipes if they made $1,000 on the musical instrument. Paul called the bet at $500? Hold that bet.
Bagpipe collector stated their instrument was not high-end. However, reed barely used. Valued at $500. Time for the boy to wear a skirt.
3rd Storage Unit
Elliptical exercise machine, bed, and old furniture. Ursula won at $375.
She found a wood screen, two tennis rackets, like-new ski boots, new-in-box exercise machine, armoire, cabinet, bed set minus foot board, and an antique record player.
Appraiser stated it was a Victor Victrola IV. Company made 600,000 of that model.
Ursula: That’s 599,000 too many.
What’s a worth? Dance first, please. Girl’s got some moves. Appraised at $200.
After all that song and dance, just $200! Yep. That’s it. Ursula had the notion to just keep her Victrola.
Profit Total:
Ursula Stolf: $1,345
Roy Dirnbeck: $1,090
Paul & Bogart Kenny: $880
Cindy Hayden & Rick Coffill: $0
