Season 2

The heat is on as the buyers return to the high desert, and a lot has changed. In this episode, Darrell Sheets finds a macabre oddity, Dave Hester discovers an antique toy, and Barry Weiss asks one of his buddies from Aerosmith (no big deal) for an appraisal. When the smoke clears and the dust settles, who will be left standing as the competition comes full circle?

Darrell Sheets tries to bat down his competition when a locker with a twenty-seven thousand dollar payoff opens up, Dave Hester bids on a unit with a stockpile of antiques, and Barry Weiss lands himself a locker previously owned by a man with an... antique weapons fetish.

Barry finds a "knock out" unit, Dave goes after an electronics locker, Jarrod tries to up his street cred with a "gangsta" unit, and Darrell uncovers a classic movie prop. Will Laura's unbridled enthusiasm pull in big bucks from the buyers or will she end up letting down her auctioneer hubby?

The buyers head to Dave Hester's old stomping grounds in Santa Ana, California. Though the units look trashy, their low rent suggests a secret gold mine filled with goods placed by wise consumers.

From kayaks to golf clubs, the buyers break the bank in this tough town.

The buyers square off in Costa Mesa, California. Dave's estranged brother surfaces and challenges the Mogul over a unit filled with rock memorabilia.

From antiques to bad blood, personal items from the past are about to dictate these buyers' futures.

Trouble comes to Mission Hills, California when a mysterious new bidder aims to dominate the competition.

Surf's up when the buyers head to Huntington Beach. Darrell goes fishing for a locker, Barry sets his sights on some antique Militaria, Dave "The Mogul" Hester strangely has trouble just getting in the game, and Jarrod and Brandi eye a jewelry box - but is it worth $2,700?

The buyers head back to Santa Ana, California and the reunion is anything but fruitful. Jarrod and Brandi quickly see their profits roll away, Barry becomes an organ donor, Dave proves that sometimes not making a deal is good common sense, and believe it or not, Darrell's hopes for a Santa Ana upside rest in the balance of a coin toss... scout's honor.

The auction turns into a three-ring circus as the buyers head to Irvine, California. Tensions finally boil over between Dave and Jarrod, Barry heads to the big top dreaming of a big lick, and Darrell wonders if Dave's gone broke.

And Dave Hester goes all out for a unit that hasn't been opened in 20 years. But when the dust settles will he find hidden treasures, or a big bust?

The buyers head back to Ontario, CA and if people didn't notice Dave Hester before, they won't have any trouble now. Jarrod Schulz reverts to his previous ways, overpaying on some toys that make it hard for him to break even.
