The Liquidator

In the season two premiere, Jeff rolls the dice on the biggest gamble of his career-bidding tens of thousands of dollars, sight unseen, for a truckload of high-end electronics that has been damaged in a transportation mishap. He awaits delivery, his stomach in knots.

Jeff takes delivery of a massive load of dubious merchandise-including pallets of foam Easter eggs and Halloween pumpkins-and his staff starts to worry. Meanwhile, a planned auction of high-end goods teeters on the brink of disaster.

Jeff makes deals non-stop, wherever he is, all day and all night. That's why he's successful, but also the reason why he's such a stress case. He tries his best to decompress, but finally reaches a breaking point. Jeff reluctantly lets his family take him on a brief vacation, but that doesn't stop him from making deals and riding his staff.

Jeff makes his living on a handshake every day-he's got to know whom to trust. When he's called in to negotiate for the goods in an Italian gelato café that appears to be brewing something on the side, Jeff has to be careful not to get in over his head. Meanwhile, other deals for dodgy Chinese mattresses and wicker furniture demonstrate the extent-and limits-of Jeff's trust.

There's a cardinal rule in the world of buy-and-sell: Never fall in love with your merchandise. But when Jeff finally decides to part with his beloved Motorcycle Monster statue, fellow-collector Rick appears to tempt him with even more novelty attractions. Sometimes even Jeff has to remember that money talks and love has a price.

When a guy phones with a batch of tuxedos to sell, it sure helps if you know a guy who buys tuxedos. And, luckily, Jeff knows everybody. With his Rolodex spinning, expert middleman Jeff brings together a series of buyers and sellers, skimming off a bit of cream each time-without breaking a sweat.

For The Liquidator, snap decisions and big gambles are part of the game. But sometimes "slam-dunk" deals can give Jeff more trouble than he bargained for. High-end appliances at 50 percent off retail? Dirt-cheap hockey jerseys? What could possibly go wrong?

Jeff a un côté doux pour les vieilles connaissances qui n'ont pas de chance. Lorsque José, son « ennemi de longue date », fait face à la perte de son entreprise, Jeff l'aide à retrouver le chemin du jeu. Mais José ferait bien de s'en souvenir : il y a toujours un prix à payer pour un coup de main de Jeff.

After going on a buying-bender, Jeff pressures his staff to fit his impulse purchases into an already overcrowded warehouse. Jeff's buddy Wayne manages to talk him into buying some weird, wacky-and BIG-items. After that, the flood of merchandise just keeps flowing-bedding, toys, hoodies, BBQs. Something's gotta give!

In the world of bottom-feeding liquidators, Jeff is a shark. But he often wonders if he could survive as an alpha predator in the uncharted waters of high-end merchandise. When some tempting deals cross his path, Jeff takes the plunge. Can blue-collar Jeff peddle fine art, antique musical instruments, and brand-name fashion?

Jeff's warehouse is famous for "eye candy"-unusual and often kitschy pieces that add spark to his displays. But, when he gets talked into buying a mangy stuffed polar bear, Jeff crosses the line from kitsch to crazy. Who's going to buy this flea-bitten piece of junk?

Jeff's large network of staff and associates can yield big paydays, and sometimes even bigger heartaches. He learns a bitter lesson when his old "pal" steals a lucrative deal right out from under him. Meanwhile, much-loved employee Christine departs Direct Liquidation-but not before negotiating one last deal with Jeff.

Most men are little boys at heart - and they love their toys. When a local go-kart track goes out of business, Jeff's excitement gets the better of him. He decides to host an auction to sell the used karts and impulsively promises the track owners a $20-grand guarantee against the proceeds. Can he cobble together enough other "man toys" to make the auction a success?
