How much money can we get selling our old junk? – Let’s talk about that. (upbeat music) Good mythical morning. – We visit sites like eBay and Craigslist a lot on this show. – We love those sites. – But usually, we’re the ones doing the buying. – Yeah. – Today, we’re doing the selling. – That’s right. You ever see something strange on Craigslist and think, who is the weirdo selling that? Well, today, we’re the weirdos. – Yes, the Mythical crew has done some aggressive spring cleaning. – Love it. – And gathered a unique assortment of old props, decorations, gizmos, some beautiful, some terrifying, but all were on this show or part of this show at one point. – Mm-hmm. – And they were all put up for sale online. And if you’re wondering who would buy our weird stuff, well, so are we! It’s time for they say that one person’s junk is another person’s treasure, so how much would you pay us for Chase’s tape measure? – We wanted to see what kinda money we could get for some of the stranger items that were created for this show, and it turns out the answer very little money. – Hmm, yeah. – Almost nobody wanted our weird junk. We tried selling dozens of our props on different sites and apps for months! Months! – Yeah, it’s a long process. – And we got almost zero interest until we started offering them up for free. And then the action picked up a little bit. – Yeah, now, you might be saying, well, if you were selling Mythical stuff out there on Craigslist for next to nothing, why didn’t you let us know? Well, that would ruin the whole game because– – Yeah. – We didn’t mention that these were Mythical items. We just wanted them to, you know, stand on their own merit. We just described them for what they actually were and offered them up for sale. – ‘Cause that, yeah, that was the curiosity. That’s where the fun comes in. – So here’s how the game works, okay? The Mythical crew filmed the interactions they have with most of the buyers during the handoff. – Mm-hmm. – Or I guess the takers if they didn’t pay anything. And every transaction was a little, has a little story to go along with it. And if we can guess the correct answer to some trivia questions accompanying those stories, we’ll win a point. – Okay. And of all the items that we posted online, we were able to sell, I’m told, two– – Yes. – A whopping two things– – Yes. – For cash. So in each round, we’re gonna guess if the item in question was one of those two that was sold instead of given away, and if we think so, we’ll just yell sold! – Sold! – But we can only, that only happened twice. – Okay, you can only guess it twice. – And we can only guess it twice, so we need to choose wisely. You can only say sold– – Sold! – For two times. And if we get that right, we get two points, and the winner of this whole thing will receive an item that we couldn’t give away for free. – (chuckles) Okay, great. I am so excited. – [Stevie] Okay, I’m sure you guys remember when you won this golden toilet after your queen sweep in the ranking weird bathroom habits episode. – [Rhett] It’s beautiful. – [Link] To be sure! – I was like, “Man, I would love this in my house.” – Somebody wants that. A golden toilet! I was like, Elvis would want this. – [Stevie] Yes. Well, we put it up on Craigslist for Elvis and we were sure to specify that it was, a, unused, and b, not real gold, as you can see. Do you think this item was sold or given away for free? – Man, I wanna say sold. I don’t know if I wanna start off with that. – I know because somebody will be thinking, “Well, this is a functional toilet. “I could scrape off the gold paint “and then I’ve just got a toilet.” – That’s too much work. Okay, I guess I’m gonna say– – Sold! – I’m gonna say it wasn’t sold. – I think it was sold. I mean, it’s still a toilet and it… – [Stevie] Okay, you’re using a sold. – Yeah. – [Stevie] It was given away for free. (buzzer blares) (Rhett laughs) Let’s see how the first part of that transaction went when the buyer showed up to take it off Mad Dog Lucas’s hands. – Who could this be? – Yeah, that’s, it looks like its made of gold. – It’s like a regular toilet. – [Rhett] Regular? – Just a regular toilet, but, but it’s gold. – [Link] But it’s gold. – What do you guys wanna do with it? – This is a homeless health center. – Homeless health center. – Good cause. – And the idea of the company is keeping the streets clean. – Okay. – [Link] Nice. – And this will be kind of like a trophy to those that– – It’s a trophy. – It’s a prize. – We made it, it was a trophy for us too. – [Rhett] Hey, yeah. – Just for conversation’s sake– – [Link] You’re not gonna want it for long. – Can I ask you how much you would have paid for this? – Oh. – Ah. – Okay. Well, now that I hear it, I see it. – [Stevie] Okay, so that’s the question. How much did Rick say he would have been willing to pay for the golden toilet? – You gotta think about it. There’s social pressure here. – Yeah. – You know what I’m saying? He’s being filmed. – He’s not gonna say nothing. – Well, he might say nothing ’cause he’s also thinking, “Hold on. “Are they gonna all of a sudden make me pay,” which isn’t good form. List something is free, and once you really get ’em interested, the old bait and switch. – Yeah. Oh, same answer. – Oh, why are you looking at my answer? – 25. – We both said $25. – Yeah, it’s either 25 or 50. Those are the numbers that you go to, you know. I almost went 50 ’cause of the peer pressure thing, but 25. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – We were looking at $1,000. – Really? – These guys will pay like two, $3,000 maybe. – [Lucas] Wow. – For something… I was looking for a toaster and I saw the toilet and I were like, “Yeah.” I can’t toast bread but– – What! Is he joking? (buzzer blasts) Is he being serious? – Two to $3,000. Lucas, that was your moment, man. – [Lucas] Yeah. That toilet was 90 bucks. – Once he knew he didn’t have to pay anything, I think he was just giving us lip service so that now we would be– – Yes. – Man. – We learned a little bit. – I guess timing is everything. – [Stevie] He knew that you were playing this multiple choice game. (laughs) – I’m gonna say $1,000, throw ’em off. – [Stevie] All right. If you recall, the presidential desk cloche was featured in our most recent weirdest foods eaten by presidents episode. – [Rhett] That thing is awesome. – [Link] That’s nice, man. – [Stevie] It’s beautiful. – But no one else has any use for it apparently. – No. A kid who wants to be president, like a baby that wants to be president? – Ain’t nobody searching anything for this because– – Lots of people think their babies are gonna be president. They’re almost all wrong. – [Stevie] sWell, we tried to sell it in the Craigslist ad. We said make any room the Oval Office with this miniature desk. – [Link] That’s good. – [Stevie] This piece is made of foam core and comes with a bell on top, would also be perfect for a cat with serious business. – Yeah. (crew laughs) That’s what we should have done, modified it. – I think this is such a unique item, and people are already searching for furniture and desks that this popped up. The algorithm served this one up more. So I’m gonna say sold! I think you sold this one. – Oh, okay. – I’m gonna use a sold. – I like you going for a sold. – I’m unleashing a sold. – [Stevie] Link? – Well, I know I’m not. I can’t make that mistake twice in a row. – It was sold! – Yes! – Oh! – [Stevie] Okay, for a bonus point, can you guess how much it sold for? – Okay. – How much did we sell this for? Wiling to negotiate. All right. I said $20. – I said $20. Man, we’re on the same page today! – [Stevie] It sold for $8. And you both guessed the same thing, so zero points that. (buzzer blares) – $8. – Okay. – [Stevie] Here’s how the first part of the exchange between the buyer, Chase, and Mad Dog Lucas went. – You think this is him? Hey, are you Nick? – Yeah, are you Lucas? – I am. I have a Resolute desk for you here. – Perfect. – [Lucas] A mini size Resolute desk. I think we agreed on about $8– – [Link] It matches his shirt. – [Lucas] With the presidents on them. – [Link] There it is. – [Lucas] Yeah, presidents, great. What’s your good use for this? – [Stevie] Okay, so that’s your next question. – Oh, okay. (Rhett laughs) – I love this game. – [Stevie] Why did he need this mini presidential desk? Was it, a, to decorate the cat cafe that he runs? B– – Possible. – [Stevie] To decorate his daughter’s American history-themed bedroom? C, to use as a computer stand? Or D, he just needed the bell and plans to trash the rest? – Oh, man. – $8 for a bell though? That’s not a good business move. – I don’t see any cat hair on his shirt. – Does he look like he has a daughter who’s interested in American history? – Okay. – All right. Computer stand. – Yeah, it’s gotta be computer standard because– – It’s nice to get that thing elevated. – In LA, people of that age don’t have children. He doesn’t have cat hair on him, and the bell doesn’t make any sense. It’s just process of elimination. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – I’m gonna give it to my daughter. We wanted to do an American history type themed room for her. – [Chase] Yeah, maybe she grows up to a president. Good luck with that. – He must be from out of town. (buzzer blares) – [Stevie] I mean, that desk is so cool. Is that not so cool? – I mean– – I wanna be his daughter, I mean– – [Stevie] Yeah. – If she becomes president, we, I mean, we should at least get an invitation to the Oval Office. – Yeah, yeah, uh-huh. – If not take full credit and like be the, we could be the puppet masters behind the strings. – She’s definitely significantly closer to becoming president. If you have a presidential desk in your room as a kid– – Yeah. That’s cool. I wanna see that bedroom as it comes together. – [Stevie] Okay, I’m sure you’ll recognize this putting green and loop de loop from our pick and putt mini-golf game. In the Craigslist listing, we were sure to mention it works well, very fine craftsmanship. – Hold on, it says backyard putt putt obstacles, but that’s just like a backyard putt putt green. – Well, no, but it comes with the thing. – [Stevie] It has little mini images down there of each one of the things. – Somebody will want this, right? – Yeah, it’s– – Don’t you like the idea of having a putt putt course at your, in your backyard? – I do have one in my backyard. – Or indoor space. That’s right, you do. – I have a putting green. I turned my own, the little bit of the yard that I had into an artificial putting green. – And Barbara just craps all over it. – Yeah, it’s, yeah, it’s where Barbara poops and I putt. It’s called the poop and putt. (crew laughs) – Do you just putt the poop? – If it is a perfectly round one, yes. – And how often is that happen? – So far, once. – Very fine craftsmanship. – I would think somebody would pay for this. – Hold on. This is a lie. I designed these myself and installed them in my backyard but no one plays on them anymore? That’s a lie. – You gotta create a story. And this was not sold. Even though I would’ve thought so, I just think that something about that story, Lucas’s story, wasn’t compelling enough. – You know what? I mean, you’re proof. I’m saying sold. – [Stevie] It was given away for free. (buzzer blares) – You’ve used all your solds, bro. – [Stevie] Yeah. – You can’t even guess anymore. (laughs) – [Stevie] Let’s see how the cash-free handoff went between the buyer and Chase. – Okay, so we got a guy– – [Rhett] Closeup. – In a Honda Accord trying to pick up this putt putt stuff. – [Rhett] Oh, how’s he gonna that in an Accord? – So let’s we can fit it in his car. – [Joe] Hello. – [Chase] Hi, how’s it going? – How’s everything? – [Chase] Good, I’m Chase. – Joe. – So why do you want the putt putt course? – Me and my kids actually play all the time. – [Chase] Oh, that’s awesome. Nice. – Okay. – [Chase] How old are your kids? – 14 and nine. – [Chase] Nice. – Perfect age. – [Chase] We built it for a game. – Everybody’s got a hole. – We used it a few times. We made a couple of different obstacles and stuff too. All right, should we try to get this thing– – Yeah. – It’s bigger than the car. – [Joe] Let’s figure it out. – Strap it to the roof, Chase. – It’s not gonna fit, guys. – [Link] Oh, they’re gonna pause it though. (Rhett laughs) – [Stevie] Okay, so there’s another question. How did it end? So, a, the buyer returned the next day with a U-Haul? B, the buyer took it home in one piece at a time, making several trips? C, the buyer acted like he was getting a phone call, got into his car and drove away? D, the buyer left with a piece in the backseat, a piece sticking out of the trunk, and the loop de loop tied to the roof? – Wow. – Oh, my gosh. – [Link] First thing I thought, I said it, tying stuff to the roof. – [Rhett] Okay. – What’d you say? – I think he did a piece at a time. – That’s what I said. I said three trips. – Because he really seemed like he was set on getting it for the kids and was committed, but I think that’s the only way he can do it. – I think he’s local. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – All right, so it looks like he came back, day two. Hey, dude. – Oh, dang! – [Chase] You really wanted this thing, getting a U-Haul. – I had to make sure it fit this time. – [Chase] Did you tell your kids, or is it a surprise? – Oh, it’s a surprise. – [Link] He got a freaking– – That’s awesome. Want me to help you lift this in, we can get it all going? – Yeah, I appreciate it. – [Link] So he was willing to invest money but just not with us. – He paid $20 for the U-Haul. – Yeah, yeah. It’s been a pleasure. I’m hoping that your kids get a lot of good play out of it. – Oh, yeah, thank you, I appreciate it. – Hopefully, he went and picked something else up and made use of that U-Haul. (buzzer blares) – For real, man. People are willing to invest money, but it’s– – Well, golf is an expensive sport, man. You gotta be willing to invest. – Hey, you may have noticed this shirt. Tomorrow is Earth Day and we wanna take a moment and address a very important issue, and that’s caring for the environment. Every day, the two of us, everybody at Mythical, we do our best to conserve energy, reduce our carbon footprint at work and in our daily lives. And hey, if we all work together, we can make it a more Mythical world. – Yes, and in honor of that goal, this year, we worked up an all new tee design and a matching reusable bag that packs down into a handy little square– – Check it out. – Whenever you’re done using it. And the best part is a portion of the proceeds will go to the amazing 350.org charity, one of our favorite organizations working to combat climate change. Buy the set for a great cause now at mythical.com. – Yeah. – Look at that, it matches your shirt. – It collapses, which is awesome. All right, mythical.com. I’ll, you know, I’ll do that later. (crew laughs) – [Stevie] All right, let’s see the next item we listed, the zombie baby doll– – Ha, look, I did it. – [Stevie] From our try not to scream episode. – Zombie baby, I’m watching. – [Stevie] In our ad, our description was pretty on point. It says delightfully creepy baby doll holding a sprig of faux mistletoe, has lots of uses, willing to negotiate. – I actually think this is a great ad for this one. I think you really did great on this one. It has lots of uses being the, you know, because– – [Chase] Thanks, Rhett. – This is the thing. When we did that game back in the day, you remember we used to do the thing where I would put the suit on and Stevie would be up here and we do the Price is Right thing with Link– – Yeah. – And we did like eBay stuff. Remember those days, back when we used to also putt putt? (crew laughs) And people would buy this crap. People buy this creepy crap. In this town especially, Halloween is a huge thing in LA. – Year round. – Halloween displays. I think this was sold. I’m using my last sold on this one. I think it was sold. – [Stevie] And so Link doesn’t have a sold. – I got nothing to say. – Do you think it was sold? Just, I mean, it doesn’t count, but just, do you think it was? – I think it was, yeah. – [Stevie] Yeah, it was sold. – Yeah! – [Stevie] How much do you think we sold it for? – Is this the, is this the question? – [Stevie] This is a question, yes. – All right, $8. I said 10– – I said 10. – Oh. I reduced it to eight. – You reduced it. – [Stevie] So we initially asked for $25. But after some negotiation, we landed at $10. – Hey! – Oh, man! I should have gone with my gut. – You should have. – [Stevie] So the person who bought the doll was a little camera shy. In place of a clip, please enjoy a dramatic reenactment– – Oh. – Of the actual email sent from the buyer to Mad Dog Lucas leading up to the sale, which has some key pieces of information censored out. Listen carefully. – This has never been done before. – Yeah, I’d like to buy your baby doll with mistletoe for $10. I live in Burbank, so let me know when I can come pick this up. I’m using this (beep) fourth year. Everyone loves my are (beep). They’re deliciously (beep). I make some of the stuff by hand. Most of it I buy. And I’m very serious about this offer. (crew laughs) – What, was he cursing, or was he just describing things that we don’t even know about? – [Stevie] Well, so the next question is what was the reason– – That’s Trevor, by the way. Okay? That’s Trevor, right? – [Stevie] No, no. – That’s Trevor’s profile. – That’s definitely Trevor. – [Stevie] No! – That’s Trevor. – [Stevie] You cannot tell who that is. – Trevor better never enter witness protection because I’ll be able to spot that profile anywhere. – Right. (crew laughs) It’s definitely Trevor. – [Stevie] So why did the buyer want the doll? That’s the part that was censored out. There are no multiple choices for this one. – (mumbles) fourth year (mumbles). I didn’t understand anything he was saying. So I’m assuming you’re saying haunted house. – I’m saying home haunted house because that’s a big thing here in the LA area. – So I’m trying to come up with something different that’s just more strange with baby dolls. I’m gonna, I’m just gonna be more specific and say that it’s a creepy baby doll cemetery. – Ah, you know those. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – Yeah, I’d like to buy your baby doll with mistletoe for $10. I live in Burbank, so let me know when I can come pick this up. I’m using this for my haunted house for Halloween this year, fourth year. Everyone loves my haunted houses. They’re deliciously frightening. I make some of the stuff by hand. Most of it I buy. And I’m very serious about this offer. – Was that exactly what the email said? Was it– – Yeah. Deliciously frightening? – [Chase] That was a, that was like a back and forth that we condensed into one monologue. – Okay, so it was a little dramatic. – Okay. – Okay. – Well, crap. So you were right, man. – Wow. I should go on Craigslist more often. I guess, I don’t know. – [Stevie] Okay, our final listing. Is this set of empty custom made Pop Tart boxes from will it Pop Tart– – [Rhett] Yes. – That’s some good looking work there, twinkie fingle. Frosted lobster roll, avocado toast, Pepto, cicada. – [Stevie] Yeah. We actually, we mentioned all five fake flavors in the Craigslist listing, frosted cicada, Pepto Bismol, lobster roll, Pepsi, and avocado toast. – Great for a gag gift or to prank your kids with. – That, it actually is the kind of thing that would be a great thing to put into the cupboard, you know, for the kids. What’s a lobster roll Pop Tart doing here, daddy? – [Link] Fake Pop Tart boxes. Boxes only. – Now, we know nobody bought this because– – [Stevie] Exactly. – We’ve used the two solds. – Which is a shame. – [Stevie] Yeah, so your question is why did this person who took these fake Pop Tart boxes want them? A, they work for Kellogg’s and thought it would be fun to have them in their office? B– – that would be awesome. – [Stevie] They recognized them from Good Mythical Morning? C, they’re a third grade teacher who wanted to use them as funky tissue boxes in their classroom? – That would be cool too. – Dang. – [Stevie] Or D, they didn’t read the full post and thought these were real Pop Tarts being given away. – Yup, right. – Could have happened. – All these, equally likely. – [Link] Hmm. – I’m going for the queen sweep here though. – Okay. – I mean, not really. I did get some wrong, but you know, we’ll just call it the queen shutout. – Oh. – Okay. – What’d you say? – I went with b for the boring answer. – No, I think it’s the third grade teacher, funky tissue boxes. – [Stevie] Let’s see. – [Lucas] Hello. – [Kendall] Hi. – [Lucas] I’m Lucas. – [Link] School teacher. – [Lucas] I’m dropping off some Pop Tarts boxes to you. – [Kendall] Sweet. – [Lucas] Great, yeah, wonderful. Can I ask why you want them? – I mean, I recognized them. – [Lucas] You recognize them. (Rhett laughs) – [Kendall] I was like, well, that’s a cool episode– – Ha, there you go! – [Lucas] I bet him money on that in the car, so now he owes me money about that. – Sorry. – There we go, Mythical Beast in the wild! – Man! – [Stevie] That was Mythical Beast Kendall. – [Rhett and Link] Kendall! – Got it anyway. Man. See, ’cause I was starting to think that the thing that we learned was that all the stuff we do here is just useless. But context is everything. – Right, uh-huh. It’s not useless, Link. Kendall now has some fake Pop Tart boxes– – To decorate her house. – Yeah, that’s right, making the world a better place. – Well, congratulations, Rhett. You get to pick whatever you want. What do you want? – [Chase] Actually, I think we picked something out for you. – Oh, I get, yes, you know what? I was gonna ask about this anyway because I wanna put that out there on my poop and putt course (crew laughs) so Shepherd could, can putt right through the legs. – And remember, butthole included. – Right there. Thanks for subscribing and clicking that bell. – You know what time it is. (Cody laughs) – I’m Taylor. – I’m Cody. – I’m Amy. – And I’m Marshall. – And we’re celebrating my birthday by playing Mythical games in Ontario, Canada. – [Group] And it’s time to spin the Wheel of Mythicality. – Happy birthday. – Click the top link to watch us guess the words missing from crazy thrift store items in Good Mythical More. – And to find out where the Wheel of Mythicality is gonna land. – [Rhett] On Earth Day and every day, let’s do our part in making it a more Mythical world.
