They didn't know its worth, so they decided to see an expert to determine its value. They went to a s*xual therapist, who at first thought they were a couple.

With everything they found in the unit, the total came to $12,230.

Rene and Casey bagged a unit for $1300, which contained a bicycle, speakers, a fridge, and many other things. Among these was a device, but the duo didn't know its worth.

So they went to a forensic research center to meet an expert who could tell them the machine's worth. The expert explained that it was a polilight tester, a forensic light source that produced lights of different colors for different examinations. He revealed that the device cost around $2500, which took their unit total to $5000.
