In this episode of Auction Hunters, titled Half Pipe Dreams, hosts Allen Haff and Ton Jones set their sights on a storage unit in the heart of skateboarding country - Huntington Beach, CA. As they prepare to bid on the unit, Ton expresses his excitement about the prospect of finding valuable skateboarding gear. Allen, however, is more cautious, reminding his partner that it's important to stay focused on the potential value of the items they find, regardless of their personal interests.
Once they win the bid, the duo begins sorting through the unit's contents. They quickly discover a collection of vintage skateboards, including some rare models from the 1970s and 80s. Allen and Ton are impressed by the quality of the boards, and realize they could fetch a high price at auction. Along with the skateboards, they also find a variety of other items, including hunting gear, home decorations, and a vintage sewing machine.

He recognizes it as a half pipe, a piece of equipment used in skateboarding to perform aerial tricks. Allen is thrilled to have found such a valuable item, and begins to research its potential worth online. Ton, meanwhile, is less optimistic about the half pipe, and worries that it might be too expensive to transport and sell.
The rest of the episode follows Allen and Ton as they try to determine the best course of action for selling the half pipe and other items they've uncovered. They consult with experts in the skateboarding community to get an idea of the half pipe's value, and also look for potential buyers in the area. Along the way, they encounter a number of obstacles, including unexpected transportation costs and difficulties finding the right kind of auction or buyer.
Despite these challenges, Allen and Ton remain determined to make a profit on their finds. They work tirelessly to market their items and generate interest among potential buyers.
