    #1 - Vampire Hunting Kit/Meteorite

    S1:E1

    One seller comes into Gallery 63 with a softball-sized meteorite, hoping to fetch enough money to take a second honeymoon to Paris, while another brings in a vampire-killing kit from the 1800s that could go for big bucks — if the right buyer attends the auction. Then Jon, the newest employee, is tasked with sifting through a jam-packed house to find "auction gold." He locates a signed copy of Gone with the Wind and a genuine Nazi handbook from World War II. But will experts confirm they're legit?

It could bring in $5,000 to $7,000 if the right bidders are in the crowd on auction day, and all proceeds would benefit the homeless. Then, when a man brings in his grandfather's coat and sword, Paul must unravel their mysterious secret-society history in order to sell them.
