00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:56,599
Dad hasn't had a big sale
over the last few months.
497
00:11:56,680 --> 00:11:57,999
So, hopefully, we can get in
and get him a bit of money.

Take your light away.
502
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:05,999
Whoa.
503
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:06,759
Whoa.
504
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:07,999
I just gotta get this other
lock pin in.
505
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,719
I just gotta get this other
lock pin in.
506
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:09,999
All he needs, he only needs to go up
probably a centimetre.
507
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,999
All he needs, he only needs to go up
probably a centimetre.

Go up! What?
514
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:23,279
Go up! What?
515
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:23,999
Go up.
516
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:24,959
Go up.
517
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:27,999
Tell him to take it up.

Beautiful orange.
535

And black.

And black.
537

Chris has come up
with a radical idea,
543
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:07,999
to dig out the entire floor
of their mine
544
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:09,359
to dig out the entire floor
of their mine
545
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:09,999
which they believe holds opal.
546
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:11,999
which they believe holds opal.
547
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:12,479
which they believe holds opal.
548
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:13,999
Well, the plan is to
take the floor out.
549
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:14,639
Well, the plan is to
take the floor out.
550
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,999
Hopefully, at the end of it,
we've got some gems coming out.

Hopefully, at the end of it,
we've got some gems coming out.
552
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:17,999
Nice payday. Yeah.

Opal mining's a gamble
557
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,119
Opal mining's a gamble
558
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:23,999
because you're paying the costs
and you might not get nothing.

00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,999
because you're paying the costs
and you might not get nothing.

because you're paying the costs
and you might not get nothing.
561
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:27,999
So we tend to think that
the chances of it making

So we tend to think that
the chances of it making
563
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:29,999

Thank you.
570
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:39,999

Got it? Yeah, it's in.
577
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:49,999
If it pays off, you can change

Righto. We've got it in.
582
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:55,999
Righto. We've got it in.

OK. Stand back.

I don't know whether she's gonna
be able to grab, Scotto.

I don't know whether she's gonna
be able to grab, Scotto.
594
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:13,999
She might not reach.

She might not reach.

Oh, bloody hell.
606
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,999

If you can't lock it into the roof

What are we gonna do?
613
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:43,919
We have to make something.
614
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,999
You don't wanna hear a hollow,
a dull, hollow sound.

The number one issue
is the roof is spongy.

The number one issue
is the roof is spongy.
624
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:09,999

which could make the whole roof
come down on you.
629
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:15,999
And that's death,
so don't want that.
630
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,999
And that's death,
so don't want that.
631
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:18,479
And that's death,
so don't want that.
632
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,999
That's really bad. Yeah.
633
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:21,119
That's really bad. Yeah.
634
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:21,999
Where are we gonna dig?
This is ridiculous.
635
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,839
Where are we gonna dig?
This is ridiculous.

up into the roof,

And if it doesn't and it pushes
up into the roof,

And if it doesn't and it pushes
up into the roof,
649
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:41,999
we gotta shut the whole mine down.

we gotta shut the whole mine down.
651
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,999
We're just kinda seeing our hopes
just crushed.

We're just kinda seeing our hopes
just crushed.

We need to be making money.
656
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:49,999
We need to find some opal.

We need to find some opal.
658
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:51,999
It's actually quite a danger.
659
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:53,479
It's actually quite a danger.
660
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:53,999
And especially with
a machine like this
661
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,639
And especially with
a machine like this
662
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:55,999
that pushes on it and flexes it,
663
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,519
that pushes on it and flexes it,
664
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:57,999
that could actually

You get a little stone like that,
worth a lot of money.
847
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:43,999

so that's why we wash it.
848
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,999
It could be in a big clod

We have to turn the trommel off
and just let it all come through.

It's overflowing.
950
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:33,999
Is the belt spinning enough?
951
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:34,679
Is the belt spinning enough?
952
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:35,999
See what we can think up.
953
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:36,479
See what we can think up.
954
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:37,999
I'll work it up, see what's around,
and what we can do.
955
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:39,159
I'll work it up, see what's around,
and what we can do.
956
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:41,999
Yeah, breakdowns cause
a lot of pressure.
957
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,799
Yeah, breakdowns cause
a lot of pressure.
958
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:43,999
Another couple of thousand dollars
here, there, it can go so fast.

to a deliberately
unbalanced spindle
970

to a deliberately
unbalanced spindle
971
00:23:59,960 --> 00:23:59,999
to create a shaking motion.
972
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,999
to create a shaking motion.
973
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:02,399
to create a shaking motion.
974
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,999
The belt seems a bit loose to me.
975
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:04,799
The belt seems a bit loose to me.
976
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:05,999
So, we might give her a stop
977
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,359
So, we might give her a stop
978
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:07,999
and see if we've got a smaller belt,
979
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,519
and see if we've got a smaller belt,
980
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:09,999
and see if we can speed it up a bit.
981
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,319
and see if we can speed it up a bit.
982
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:13,999
Shut it down!
983
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:14,439
Shut it down!
984
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:17,999
That was too loose
to start with, eh?
985
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,999
That was too loose
to start with, eh?
986

Too tight?
989
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:35,999
Yeah.

Righto! Off.
997

Righto! Off.
998
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,999
Is that enough?
She's blocking it. It's too tight.
999
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:51,199

I just want to feel
if this solenoid's clicking.

Nothing?

Nothing?
1014
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:29,999
They're old tractor motors,
it's probably about 80 years old.

Sooner we can get this to fire
the better.

1023
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:41,999
they can't separate the opal

There's no use
if you're digging opal,

00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,079
There's no use
if you're digging opal,
1028
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:49,999
you need to be washing it
to be able to keep digging it.
1029
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,799
you need to be washing it
to be able to keep digging it.
1030
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:51,999
And the more dirt you move
the better.
1031
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:52,799
And the more dirt you move
the better.
1032
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:53,999
So, hopefully,
it won't hold us up too long.

1044

The starter motor will hopefully
turn over the engine and away we go.

Found a couple of bits of potch,
the best bit of the day

we've got so far, I found it
just walking around. Right.
1168
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:47,999
It's just a lot of top soil
building up on the right hand side.

It's just a lot of top soil
building up on the right hand side.

That's all we're going through,
it seems like.

There's not much to write home
about in there.

Nah, that's disgusting, Mark.
1191
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:37,999

Just gotta hope that
we got enough in there

Just this bit just slows it

1324
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:05,999
one of those big black
bits of seam, and we're laughing.
1325
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:07,999
one of those big black
bits of seam, and we're laughing.
1326
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,479
one of those big black
bits of seam, and we're laughing.
1327
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:09,999
Like, it's proved that
there's opal down deep.
1328
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,679
Like, it's proved that
there's opal down deep.
1329
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:11,999
But the final proof of valuable opal
in their mine's floor
1330
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,999
But the final proof of valuable opal
in their mine's floor
1331
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,879
But the final proof of valuable opal
in their mine's floor
1332
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:15,999
will come at the tail-out.
1333
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,679
will come at the tail-out.
1334
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:17,999
You don't know what's in it.
We could've already made money.
1335
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,999
You don't know what's in it.
We could've already made money.
1336
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:20,519
You don't know what's in it.
We could've already made money.
1337
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:21,999
You don't know.
That's why we gotta wash it
1338
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:23,079
You don't know.
That's why we gotta wash it
1339
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:23,999
and we'll tail it out.
It is easy to miss.
1340
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,399
and we'll tail it out.
It is easy to miss.
1341
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:29,999
After leaving the wash plant
running overnight,
1342
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,999
After leaving the wash plant
running overnight,
1343
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,719
After leaving the wash plant
running overnight,
1344
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:33,999
the Cheals, Scott McMillan
and his daughter Hannah
1345
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,999
the Cheals, Scott McMillan
and his daughter Hannah
1346
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:36,319
the Cheals, Scott McMillan
and his daughter Hannah
1347
00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:37,999
start the tail-out.
1348
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:38,519
start the tail-out.
1349
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,999
Any colour in it? Not really.
1350
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,399
Any colour in it? Not really.
1351
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:45,999
Nah.
1352
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,159
Nah.
1353
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:57,999
Hey, hey, hey.
1354
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,919
Hey, hey, hey.
1355
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:01,999
Oh. Scott!
1356
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,999
Oh. Scott!
1357
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:04,359
Oh. Scott!
1358
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:09,999
Far out.
Liking the colour in that.
1359
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,999
Far out.
Liking the colour in that.
1360
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:12,599
Far out.
Liking the colour in that.
1361
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:13,999
That'd be worth probably
6 to 8,000.
1362
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,999
That'd be worth probably
6 to 8,000.
1363
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:16,559
That'd be worth probably
6 to 8,000.
1364
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:17,999
Feel relieved, you know,
we at least got our fuel money
1365
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:19,999
Feel relieved, you know,
we at least got our fuel money
1366
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:20,039
Feel relieved, you know,
we at least got our fuel money
1367
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:21,999
and we got enough to buy food.
1368
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:23,999
If there's a bit more in there
we might be able to do repairs.
1369
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:24,959
If there's a bit more in there
we might be able to do repairs.
1370
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:25,999
Here you are. Look at this, mate.
1371
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,639
Here you are. Look at this, mate.
1372
00:35:27,720 --> 00:35:27,999
Ooh. Far out.
1373
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,799
Ooh. Far out.
1374
00:35:31,440 --> 00:35:31,999
Finally a bit more colour.
1375
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,559
Finally a bit more colour.
1376
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,999
Bit of red up the side here.
1377
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:38,799
Bit of red up the side here.
1378
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:39,999
That's the reason we're opal miners.
Because of that.
1379
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,999
That's the reason we're opal miners.
Because of that.
1380
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:42,079
That's the reason we're opal miners.
Because of that.
1381
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:43,999
It's good colour, I'll tell you.
It's nice and bright.
1382
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,359
It's good colour, I'll tell you.
It's nice and bright.
1383
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:45,999
The tail-out has revealed seam
and nobbie opal in the rough
1384
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,999
The tail-out has revealed seam
and nobbie opal in the rough
1385
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,839
The tail-out has revealed seam
and nobbie opal in the rough
1386
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:49,999
featuring a full spectrum of colours
and weighs 90 grams.
1387
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,999
featuring a full spectrum of colours
and weighs 90 grams.
1388
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,999

1389
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,039
featuring a full spectrum of colours
and weighs 90 grams.
1390
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:55,999
It's a good result. We've got
something for our hard work.
1391
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,879
It's a good result. We've got
something for our hard work.
1392
00:35:59,760 --> 00:35:59,999
I'm happy. We should get
around ten grand for that.
1393
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,999
I'm happy. We should get
around ten grand for that.
1394
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:02,639
I'm happy. We should get
around ten grand for that.
1395
00:36:02,720 --> 00:36:03,999
It's a really, really solid start.
1396
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:04,719
It's a really, really solid start.
1397
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:05,999
We've been knocking out pretty
big days, out early, back late.
1398
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,999
We've been knocking out pretty
big days, out early, back late.
1399
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,519
We've been knocking out pretty
big days, out early, back late.
1400
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:09,999
But it's good to get
a reward at the end.
1401
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:11,199
But it's good to get
a reward at the end.
1402
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:11,999
Their theory of a deeper
opal level in their mine
1403
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,999
Their theory of a deeper
opal level in their mine
1404
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:14,919
Their theory of a deeper
opal level in their mine
1405
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:15,999
one step closer to being confirmed.
1406
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:17,959
one step closer to being confirmed.
1407
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,999
When you're hitting that material
you gotta keep looking.
1408
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,759
When you're hitting that material
you gotta keep looking.
1409
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:21,999
Keep going, we'll dig the rest
of that floor and see how we go.
1410
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,999
Keep going, we'll dig the rest
of that floor and see how we go.
1411
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:24,559
Keep going, we'll dig the rest
of that floor and see how we go.
1412
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:25,999
Made enough, maybe, to keep
ourselves fuelled for the next dig.
1413
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,999
Made enough, maybe, to keep
ourselves fuelled for the next dig.
1414
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:28,719
Made enough, maybe, to keep
ourselves fuelled for the next dig.
1415
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:29,999
That's the most important thing.
While you're doing that,
1416
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,919
That's the most important thing.
While you're doing that,
1417
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,999
you give yourself a chance
to find that million dollar lead.
1418
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:34,839
you give yourself a chance
to find that million dollar lead.
1419
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:35,999
I'm happy that we're able
to keep going.
1420
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:37,999
I'm happy that we're able
to keep going.
1421
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:38,359
I'm happy that we're able
to keep going.
1422
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:47,999
That one.
1423
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:49,399
That one.
1424
00:36:49,480 --> 00:36:49,999
After a series of breakdowns,
1425
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:51,639
After a series of breakdowns,
1426
00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:51,999
the Blacklighters' running costs
have hit $6,000
1427
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,999
the Blacklighters' running costs
have hit $6,000
1428
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:55,839
the Blacklighters' running costs
have hit $6,000
1429
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:55,999
and all they have to show for it
is a handful of stones.
1430
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,999
and all they have to show for it
is a handful of stones.
1431
00:36:58,000 --> 00:36:59,999
and all they have to show for it
is a handful of stones.
1432
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,999
I think these will cut up
quite nice, eh.
1433
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:02,239
I think these will cut up
quite nice, eh.
1434
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:03,999
I'll get over and start the saw up.
Righto.
1435
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:05,279
I'll get over and start the saw up.
Righto.
1436
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:07,999
Cutting and polishing opal
can triple its value.
1437
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:09,919
Cutting and polishing opal
can triple its value.
1438
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:11,999
But only if no flaws are revealed
1439
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,999
But only if no flaws are revealed
1440
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:14,159
But only if no flaws are revealed
1441
00:37:14,240 --> 00:37:15,999
and the stone isn't damaged
by the cutter.
1442
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,119
and the stone isn't damaged
by the cutter.
1443
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:17,999
We face them up to start with.
1444
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,999
We face them up to start with.
1445
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:20,079
We face them up to start with.
1446
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:21,999
Turn these stones into a nice,
polished, finished piece,
1447
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,999
Turn these stones into a nice,
polished, finished piece,
1448
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:24,479
Turn these stones into a nice,
polished, finished piece,
1449
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:25,999
and value add a bit,
that's the plan.
1450
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,479
and value add a bit,
that's the plan.
1451
00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:27,999
We put a bit of trust in him
to do this.
1452
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,799
We put a bit of trust in him
to do this.
1453
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:29,999
He's actually quite good at it.
We give it a go,
1454
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,999
He's actually quite good at it.
We give it a go,
1455
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,839
He's actually quite good at it.
We give it a go,
1456
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:33,999
but you know,
he just gets the shapes
1457
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:35,599
but you know,
he just gets the shapes
1458
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:35,999
and he can just do it
from the top of his head.
1459
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:37,999
and he can just do it
from the top of his head.
1460
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:38,039
and he can just do it
from the top of his head.
1461
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,999
Which a lot of people
wouldn't be able to do.
1462
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:40,399
Which a lot of people
wouldn't be able to do.
1463
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:41,999
This one's got a bit of a problem.
1464
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:42,159
This one's got a bit of a problem.
1465
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:43,999
So I'm gonna have to be careful.
I'll take that off
1466
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:44,519
So I'm gonna have to be careful.
I'll take that off
1467
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:45,999
to make a bit of a back,
nice, smooth back.
1468
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,799
to make a bit of a back,
nice, smooth back.
1469
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:51,999
Sometimes you take the wrong
way and you wreck the stone.
1470
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:53,999
Sometimes you take the wrong
way and you wreck the stone.
1471
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:54,479
Sometimes you take the wrong
way and you wreck the stone.
1472
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:55,999
Which gives you
a pretty sour feeling.
1473
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:56,439
Which gives you
a pretty sour feeling.
1474
00:37:59,200 --> 00:37:59,999
The anticipation's killing me.
1475
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,159
The anticipation's killing me.
1476
00:38:05,440 --> 00:38:05,999
Those stones come out quite nice.
1477
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,639
Those stones come out quite nice.
1478
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:07,999
I think they'll definitely
be worth more now once they're cut
1479
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,999
I think they'll definitely
be worth more now once they're cut
1480
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:10,799
I think they'll definitely
be worth more now once they're cut
1481
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:11,999
than they were in the rough.
1482
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,119
than they were in the rough.
1483
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:13,999

1646
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:43,999
Initially, we were kind of thinking,
1647
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,519
Initially, we were kind of thinking,
1648
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:45,999
you know, about 20 or 30 grand.
1649
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,999
you know, about 20 or 30 grand.
1650
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:48,679
you know, about 20 or 30 grand.
1651
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:49,999
Beautiful piece.
You got a price on it?
1652
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,439
Beautiful piece.
You got a price on it?
1653
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:51,999
We decided, why not let's go
a little bit higher with it?
1654
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,999
We decided, why not let's go
a little bit higher with it?
1655
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:54,199
We decided, why not let's go
a little bit higher with it?
1656
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:55,999
I think me and the boys are coming
in, what we're looking for
1657
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,999
I think me and the boys are coming
in, what we're looking for
1658
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:58,599
I think me and the boys are coming
in, what we're looking for
1659
00:41:58,680 --> 00:41:59,999
is gonna be about 37,000
on the lot.
1660
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,999
is gonna be about 37,000
on the lot.
1661
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:02,359
is gonna be about 37,000
on the lot.
1662
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:03,999
You're a little bit high. I'd, um...
1663
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,079
You're a little bit high. I'd, um...
1664
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:05,999
At this stage, about 30
would be my offer on it.
1665
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,999
At this stage, about 30
would be my offer on it.
1666
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,559
At this stage, about 30
would be my offer on it.
1667
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:09,999
I don't think we can
come as low as 30.
1668
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,719
I don't think we can
come as low as 30.
1669
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:11,999
Is there any chance
you'd be willing to come up to 35?
1670
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:13,999
Is there any chance
you'd be willing to come up to 35?
1671

Is there any chance
you'd be willing to come up to 35?
1672
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:15,999
The 35 mark.
1673
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,159
The 35 mark.
1674
00:42:17,240 --> 00:42:17,999
No, not 35 but I'll split
the difference with you.
1675
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,999
No, not 35 but I'll split
the difference with you.
