Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

Irving called two staff members for help.

We went inside the container and unpacked the large wooden crates.

As the packaging was removed and the black cloth protecting it from the dust was lifted, a particularly beautiful military motorcycle instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Beneath the camouflage paint, the white five-pointed stars on the motorcycle's body are incredibly eye-catching.

A knowledgeable secondhand dealer was the first to recognize the motorcycle and immediately became interested:

"Oh my god! It's a Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycle from World War II?! In such good condition, it's worth at least $30,000!"

"Thirty thousand dollars? Are you insulting it? I remember Sotheby's just auctioned one last month, and it wasn't even in as good condition as this one, and it sold for over fifty thousand dollars!"

Upon hearing that this World War II military motorcycle was worth over $50,000, the surrounding crowd gasped in astonishment.

Upon hearing this devastating news, the bearded white man shook his head, his face filled with disbelief. "Shit!! How could a motorcycle that looks so old be worth so much money?"

Before he could finish speaking, a professional recycler came out, his eyes gleaming as he examined the old Harley-Davidson motorcycle in front of him, and explained to the crowd:

"Ordinary motorcycles are certainly not worth this price, but this Harley-Davidson WLA is one of the most classic models produced by Harley-Davidson, equipped with a 750cc flathead side-mounted V-twin engine! It uses a three-speed gearbox and chain drive system, and has a range of up to 120 miles!"

The "W" on the vehicle body represents a 738cc engine, "L" indicates a high compression ratio, and "A" refers to the Army-customized version.

From 1941 to 1945, only a little over 7 were produced in total, making them the core of the U.S. military's reconnaissance and communication vehicles during World War II.

It was because of this car that Harley-Davidson received the "E" medal from the U.S. Navy.

Without this motorcycle, there would be no motorcycle culture that has swept the world since, so you understand how precious this motorcycle is, right?

Upon hearing the recycler's explanation, everyone present suddenly understood.

They were naturally aware of motorcycle culture, but they never imagined that the origin of this culture actually came from a military motorcycle used in World War II.

Realizing that the motorcycle could potentially fetch an even higher price if a suitable buyer was found, the blonde woman immediately offered: "I'll offer $50000!"

"If you agree, I'll give you cash right now!"

Upon hearing the offer, Irving immediately looked surprised. "Are you sure? Didn't that recycler just say that even if you take it back and sell it to an auction house or on a platform, the highest price you could get is this?"

"What business is it of mine how I resell it after I buy it?" The blonde woman walked up to Owen, her face showing eagerness as if she had discovered some business opportunity.

"Kid, be quick about it. $50000, just say you're selling or not!"

"OK!" Seeing that the other party was so insistent, and that no one else offered a higher price, Irving immediately chose to make a deal with them.

Although this Harley-Davidson motorcycle from World War II is very valuable, its market price is still what it is.

Rather than taking it back and auctioning it off myself, I'd rather sell it to this blonde woman now.

After receiving the cash check from the other party, Owen smiled and handed the wooden box over to them.

After selling the remaining firearms and military collectibles in the container at a discount to other people present who wanted to buy them.

Irving roughly calculated that he had made a profit of $48600 on the green container he had purchased, excluding the principal!

Looking at the thick stack of cash checks in Irving's hand, the professional treasure hunters present were all filled with envy.

Many of these professional treasure hunters secretly made up their minds.

If we encounter another container that Irving is bidding on later, we must bid until the very end, no matter how high the price is!

However, to the others' surprise, Irving simply stood quietly to the side for the next few containers.

Aside from initially offering a few tentative prices, he didn't participate in the bidding again.

Correspondingly, these containers didn't contain anything of any good quality.

"Hey handsome, can I have your contact information?" Noticing this, a voluptuous and good-looking secondhand dealer walked over, put her hand on Irving's shoulder, and showed him her hot body.

"Sorry, I don't really like adding strangers' contact information." Feeling the other person's intense gaze, Irving politely declined and turned to leave.

But clearly, the other side was prepared.

Are you sure you want to reject me?

The woman blocked Owen's path again, took out her phone, gently shook the screen, and slowly said, "I know the Miami Police Department and the local court are planning to auction off a batch of antiques and collectibles this week, but the auction is by invitation only. If you're interested, I can get you tickets, and we can work together..."

No? You're tempting me?

Hearing the woman say that, Owen sneered.

You don't think this will make me add your contact information?

Do you really think I'm that easy to fool?

"If you're not interested, then forget it."

Seeing that Owen remained unmoved, the woman shrugged and sighed helplessly, "I heard there will be quite a few porcelain pieces from China at this auction..."

"Porcelain?" Upon hearing these two words, Owen's eyes lit up instantly.

"Wait a minute, I'm quite interested in porcelain."

Unlike other antiques and collectibles, porcelain has always commanded high prices in the United States.

Moreover, many of these precious porcelain pieces will even become more and more valuable over time!

The reason for this phenomenon is simply that there are far too few high-quality and beautiful porcelain pieces.

The total number of exquisite porcelain pieces that have survived to this day is limited.

Moreover, a large portion of them were collected by antique dealers during World War I and World War II.

In the 21st century, some historical porcelain pieces have long been considered cultural relics and are prohibited from being exported.

With limited quantities available, market enthusiasm for collecting remains undiminished, naturally driving up prices.

After adding the other party's contact information, Irving left the dock.

Seeing that it was getting late, he thought for a moment and decided not to return to the pawnshop to spend the night.

Instead, they found a safe neighborhood and parked the RV in a paid parking lot with security guards and cameras.

As soon as he parked his car, Irving noticed a Mexican vendor selling chicken wraps and tacos parked on the side of the road not far away.

Soon enough, a large crowd gathered around the stall, including two police officers.

Owen immediately realized that the chicken wraps and tacos from this stall must taste pretty good.

He hadn't originally planned to eat, but after thinking for a moment, he got out of the RV and walked towards the stall.

But as soon as he stepped inside, Irving heard a surprised voice from the crowd:

"Irving? What are you doing here?"
