Ep 2. Win Lose or Joust

In season 4 episode 2 of Auction Hunters titled "Win Lose or Joust", the duo of Allen and Ton are back to their usual antics of bidding on abandoned storage units in hopes of finding valuable treasures. The episode begins with the pair at an auction in Orange County where they manage to snag a few units for a good price.

Their first score is a unit filled with vintage arcade games including a rare jousting machine from the 1980s. After testing it out and confirming its functionality, they decide to take it to a collector who happens to be an expert on all things vintage arcade games. The expert appraises the jousting machine at a high value, but the guys are hesitant to let it go since it's such a unique find.

Their second find is a unit filled with musical instruments including guitars, drums, and amplifiers. The guys are initially excited about the potential value of the unit, but quickly realize that most of the instruments are damaged or in poor condition. They manage to salvage a few items, but overall the unit ends up being a bit of a disappointment.

Next up, the guys come across a unit filled with furniture and home decor items. While browsing through the contents, they stumble upon a painting that catches their eye. Upon closer inspection, they notice that it's a watercolor painting by a well-known artist that could potentially be worth a lot of money. They take it to an art appraiser who confirms its authenticity and potential value.

Towards the end of the episode, the guys stumble upon a unit filled with swords and other medieval weaponry. They're excited about the potential value of the items, but quickly realize that most of them are replicas and not worth much. However, they do manage to find a couple of authentic pieces including a Japanese sword that shows signs of being used in battle. They take it to an arms dealer who confirms its value and advises them on how to properly care for it.

Overall, "Win Lose or Joust" is a typical episode of Auction Hunters where Allen and Ton take us on a journey of bidding on and uncovering hidden treasures in abandoned storage units. While they do have a few disappointments along the way, they manage to find a few gems that make it all worth it.
