Ep 4. Ton's Driller Instinct

In this episode of Auction Hunters, Ton and Allen are on the hunt for valuable items at a storage auction in Fontana, California. Ton is feeling confident and inspired, attributing his instincts to his father's drilling background. Their first unit contains a collection of vintage tools and equipment, including a rare air compressor and an antique brace auger, which Ton is definitely interested in. However, Allen is unsure about the unit's overall worth.

Their second unit is promising as well, containing several old televisions and electronic equipment, along with some interesting antique furniture. Ton spots a hand-carved wooden chair that he believes could be a valuable item. Allen agrees to bid on this unit and they end up winning it for a good price.

As they begin to sort through the contents of the purchased units, Ton keeps his eye on the woodworking tools from the first unit and starts to clean them up, hoping to sell them for a profit. Allen, on the other hand, is more interested in researching the vintage electronics, hoping to find collectors or enthusiasts who will pay top dollar for them.

As they continue their search, they come across a strange piece of equipment that they can't immediately identify. Ton recognizes it as a vintage water pump and believes it could be worth a substantial amount. They take it to an expert for appraisal and find out that his hunch was correct; the pump is a rare find and they could potentially sell it for a lot of money.

Meanwhile, Allen consults with a vintage electronics specialist and determines that their findings are not as valuable as they had hoped. They decide to sell the furniture and other miscellaneous items instead, hoping to recoup their investment from the first two units.

As the auction nears its end, Ton and Allen have high hopes for their items. They bid on a final unit, which contains a variety of gold and silver coins. Ton is ecstatic at the prospect of adding these valuable items to their inventory. However, bidding gets intense and they eventually lose out to a competitor.

Overall, Ton's instincts prove to be a valuable asset for the team as they find a few key items that could bring in a profit. As always, it's a gamble, but for these Auction Hunters, it's all in a day's work.
