Lucas does a deal with the owner, and packs the stools into the truck. The Pickers head up the Murray River in Victoria to meet Mingo, a collector who specializes in FJ Holdens and vintage Indian and Harley Davidson motorcycles. Mingo's wife is sick of the clutter, so he's planning to have a large clearing sale on the site, but he gives the Pickers a preview of his stock. Lucas picks up a 1970 Indian Trail Bike, but is it a real Indian? Or has he done his dough? Back on the road, they meet John, a former antique dealer. John has closed his store and all his stock is spread among two houses side by side in suburban Wagga.

In country Victoria, the guys meet local auctioneer Bruce, who is known to the locals as Steptoe. It's the battle of the auctioneers when Bruce goes head to head with Adam and some lively haggling ensues. Then it's off to visit Precis, whose warehouse is full of quality furniture. Precis finds his best stuff by scouring the newspaper ads for deceased estate sales. Lucas enters the holy grail of furniture, but will he find that rare Featherston chair he's been dreaming of? Finally, the guys visit the man cave of Ian, a garage-sale nut who bought a suburban warehouse and yard just to hold his collection of cars and memorabilia. Here, Adam finally finds the piece he has been searching for since he began picking, but what is it?
