Storage Wars: New York: Season 1, Episode 5: “Long Island City Of Dreams.”
It was a rainy day in Long Island but that didn’t damper anybody’s spirits as the buyers came with some serious game plans. In a daring business move, Courtney and Candy rented a work space. Good idea? Bad idea? C&C came with a fierce determination to make bank fast due to unprecedented overhead.
Chris and Tad, low on on inventory, came to Long Island to fill the store. Mike came with a strategy to step up his game.
Mike B: I brought my balls today.
Let’s not consider where he keeps them when he doesn’t bring them.
Joe P. came for one reason – buy a room to make a LOT of money.
1st Room
Boxes. Only real interest garnered from C&C. Chris and Tad decided to make them pay for it and up the bid. Candy won at $185. Gals found vintage drive-in speakers. Let’s get popcorn and have speakers appraised. Unfortunately, vintage speakers didn’t have a loud volume of value. Appraised at $50.
Wop, wop!
2nd Room
Duel between Joe P and Mike. Potentially high end items in this room that peaked the guys’ interest. In the end, Joe P paid $1,000.
Joe P: Mike’s like a mosquito – one of these days I’m gonna have to swat him.
While clearing out the storage unit, Joe P noted potentially fruitful furniture. Real find was a jewelry steamer. He had it appraised. Valued at $600.
3rd Room
In plain sight, a few sinks along with miscellaneous goods. Bor-ing! Mike however saw potential. He snagged the room for $150.
What a steal this one turned out to be!
He scored big time when he discovered a two person Jacuzzi tub worth at least $2,500. Fondue maker he took to have appraised by a chef. Professional appliance was fully functional. Great condition. Valued at $1,400.
Chris: They’re sinks! What the hell are we gonna do with sinks?!
Once again Chris & Tad walked empty handed – better luck next time guys!
Profit Totals:
Mike Braiotta: $4,768
Joe P: $2,200
Candy Olsen and Courtney Wagner: $60
Chris Morelli and Tad Eaton: $0
