The final unit up for auction is a massive one, filled to the brim with furniture, clothing, and household items. The bidding is intense, with several of the cast members competing for the unit. Ultimately, it is Darrell Sheets who emerges victorious, snagging the unit for a high price.

After the units have been won and the cast has had a chance to sift through their newfound treasures, they head back to their respective shops to see what they have acquired. Some of the highlights include a vintage jukebox, an antique radio, and a set of old GI Joe action figures.
