One of the lots that catches their eye is a unit that appears to be in disarray, filled with old furniture, boxes, and broken machinery. However, the seasoned hunters know that appearances can be deceiving and decide to take a chance on the unit.
As they begin to sift through the unit's contents, they quickly realize that it's a goldmine.
