Ep 6. Risk & Reward

Auction Hunters follows the adventures of Allen Haff and Ton Jones as they travel across the United States to participate in storage unit auctions. In this particular episode, titled "Risk & Reward," the pair are in a small town in Texas and are hoping to hit it big.

The episode begins with Allen and Ton arriving at the storage facility where the auction will take place. They strategize and discuss what kind of units they want to bid on and what their budget is. They decide to take a risk and bid on a unit that hasn't been opened in over 20 years. The price quickly escalates, but they manage to come away with the unit for a reasonable price.

Once they get the unit open, they quickly realize that it's a goldmine. The unit is filled with vintage toys, including a rare G.I. Joe action figure that is worth thousands of dollars. They also find a collection of antique weapons, including several firearms and swords. They're thrilled with their initial findings, but they know that there could be even more treasures buried within the clutter.

As they start to sort through the unit, they come across a locked safe. They speculate about what could be inside and debate whether it's worth the risk to get it open. They decide to take a chance and use some of their profits from the other items to hire a safe cracker. After some tense moments, they finally get the safe open and are stunned by what they find inside.

The safe is filled with gold coins, jewelry, and other valuable items. They estimate that the contents are worth over $100,000, which would make it one of the biggest hauls they've ever had. They're thrilled with their success but also know that they need to be careful about how they sell the items. They decide to take them to a few different experts and auction houses to get the best value.

The episode follows Allen and Ton as they visit various experts and auction houses to sell their items. They have some success, but they also face some challenges. One auction house denies them because they don't have the proper paperwork for the firearms, and another expert values their items at a lower price than they were hoping for.

Despite these setbacks, Allen and Ton remain determined to get the best value for their items. They continue to search for the right buyers and make some strategic decisions about where to sell certain items. The episode ends with a thrilling auction, where they hope to sell some of their most valuable items for top dollar.

Overall, "Risk & Reward" is a thrilling episode of Auction Hunters that showcases the highs and lows of storage unit auctions. Allen and Ton's determination and strategy pay off in the end, but they also face some challenges along the way. The episode is a great example of how taking risks in the auction business can lead to big rewards.
