It's cool right Never done anything like this before we Haven't have we Whoops whoops I know these doors go Ahead Adam oh My goodness I see a toilet seat The gold toilet seat let's save that for Later Where do you got to show us first up is A fax machine so before you say anything Let me tell some of these viewers that Have never heard of a fax machine Because I guess when did they stop doing Factory like 10 years ago 15 years ago I Mean in America not that long ago Because I had to fax something one time Well in the rest of the world you know International viewers long time ago America's a little bit behind the times But having said that a fax machine this Sends paper you put a piece of paper in With whatever and it comes out somewhere Else it's like an like a physical email That's exactly what it is I like the way You describe it right Caroline continue Sorry it's a relic but it is a gorgeous One because Sydney mobile adorned it With a gold diamonds sapphires rubies Emeralds look at this why is the Question well he was famous for taking Ordinary objects and turning them into Extraordinary objects he debuted this Fax machine in 1989 and sent a fax on it With Steve Wozniak where's the picture

That is crazy Steve Wozniak was the Founder of Apple Computers if I'm not Mistaken Was that right right yes you're Absolutely right that's amazing a gold And jewel encrusted diamonds fax machine I love the fact that at T is written in Diamonds that's just wild okay so the Big question is what is this expected to Sell for yeah well we put an auction Estimate on it of two to three thousand Dollars of course this type of property Is difficult to to estimate just because It's one of a kind you know we can't Look up comps and see what previous ones Sold for so we're estimating around two To three thousand and that's Conservative so of course we expect it Oceans are generally very conservative With their estimates right exactly But yeah uh a gold fax machine Never thought I could say those words This is what this might be one of the Wildest videos we've ever done I think So okay so what's this Bingo yes Yes oh well this is heavy it is this one Is solid gold that's diamonds that's why It's heavy so you would stamp the bingo Card when the number is called what the Other end Not sure if it has any juice left in it But we'll see lucky number uh lucky Number hold on let me find a lucky Number there let's try this one there it

Is look what I did I just destroyed the The card and clearly you've never used a Bingo Dabba in your life So you're supposed to dab not scribble There you are that's why it's called a Dabber not a Scribbler Can you imagine the flex All with one of these I mean a solid Gold Floridian oaps dream so what you Could really do is just put any Highlighter pen or marker pen inside This right and then you're good to go Okay so what is the anticipated Estimated sale price of a bingo Dabber That is also a two to three thousand Dollars and again a lot of that's just The intrinsic value you know we expect It to go much higher considering it's Such a unique one-of-a-kind never seen Uh before object so well what was the uh Tiffany Patek listed as when it started Like eighty thousand something like that Sell for six million there you go so Maybe maybe no six million dollar toilet Seat we'll come to that okay what's in This box here this is this Furby oh my Word do you remember you can you can Pick them up Nice he's soft it's the snowball Furby From 1999 and he's adorned with diamonds And rubies emeralds and sapphires and They're removable if you want to wear The earring you want to wear this as a Brooch you can go ahead and make that

Thankfully this was not in use but this Has been his most featured object on Various media Um that he's been a part of throughout His life so people really loved it he Was on the Johnny Carson show can you Imagine if this was actually attached to Your commode in the house and someone Went to lift this lid especially in a Hurry weld it down it's very heavy okay So this is actually a beautiful piece I'm going to guess Oh what am I going to guess Um Four grand based on the weight It's 15 to 20 000. is it really yes yeah Actually that doesn't surprise me that Doesn't surprise me I I I'm still in Shock from this Spade this is yeah and It'll probably sell for a lot more It's ridiculously heavy it's a pretty Unique item where are you gonna find Another one of these you're not Seen It's genuinely no a hundred percent Just for just for there's one item that Open Giggles I can't say that there's One item that I did spot when we walked In that would definitely be or will be Yes we'll come to that so the next piece Is a diamond encrusted jewelers loop 4.35 carats of diamonds total weight and That's a solid 18 karat gold Loop so This is this is expensive then this is

Um Let's see 4.5 carats I am going to put this somewhere between 12 and 15 000. that's a bit Okay so if these are bad diamonds Bad diamonds in this size like Malay Size just a little bit bigger than that But they're about a thousand dollars a Carrot so without any labor without the Gold so that's cheap I'll buy this too Put that down to me if it's that much Money I think I need it mouse trap with Diamond cheese awesome with diamond Cheese yeah that is an object he made Only five of them it won't like trap me Right Yeah he made five of those they Were steaks are they solid Carrot Amazing right 1875 this one what'd you Think Adam you got any mice at your Place I don't know and I'd want to be Friends with them not kill them yeah That's true the founder of McDonald's His wife bought one of those from Sydney Mobile in San Francisco and had it Engraved something along the lines of Like thanks for catching me as an Anniversary gift perfect nice yeah So I'm gonna guess on that one I should Stop guessing I haven't been that good Reason I started off like flying and
