cornucopia of vintage pedal cars,
penny toys, and miniatures...but if only she would sell her husband's mint-condition toy trucks. Later in

But her emotional attachment makes it almost impossible to break the ice. Next, Scott and Sheldon discover an eclectic array of iron works, but the owner of the collection is one tough negotiator. Then the pickers pull into an Old English Manor filled with five generations of high-quality antiques including a

Then they meet a celebrity air pilot with two hangars stuffed full of vintage planes, cars, and bicycles. But when the collector sets his prices sky high, Scott and Sheldon struggle to get the deals rolling.

Smokey the Bear forest service sign and some vintage hockey seats to be signed by
NHL legend,
Guy Lafleur; but it appears as if the guys are being stalked throughout the pick by two creepy, vintage dolls named Clarice and Pat. Free of the dolls, it's Scott and Sheldon's turn to play the stalker as they follow a truck whose bed is stacked full of some killer
