MANILA, Philippines – What is garbage for one person, might be treasure for another! Every day in America, thousands of abandoned storage houses are put up for public auction. With over US$1 billion worth of goods changing hands each year, these auctions have become big business and can only mean one thing for those who know what they are looking for – big bucks! On AUCTION HUNTERS 3, renegade storage buyers Allen Haff and Clinton ‘Ton’ Jones are back for a brand new season of sniffing out storage units with the biggest money-making potential. Join Allen and Clinton as they travel from the Alaskan tundra to the Hawaiian tropics, and put their instinct, brains and luck to the test in a bid to nail down the most valuable collectibles and score the best deals. The scouring on AUCTION HUNTERS 3 premieres on Thursday, February 21, with two 30-minute episodes airing back-to-back from 7:00 p.m. Encores every Friday at midnight and 1:00 p.m.

When the storage units’ doors are lifted, Allen and Ton have merely seconds to determine their value and decide if they are worth bidding for. In this 26-part series of AUCTION HUNTERS 3, the competition intensifies as the finds get more promising, but the one thing that does not change is the ambition to churn big profits in this cut-throat world. With discoveries ranging from a voodoo chest, an incredible 1970’s skateboard with rare, one-of-a-kind graphics, a 1940s embalming machine made of porcelain, a set of body armour including a ballistic mask and bullet proof vest, a vintage 1950’s suitcase, a German Schützen rifle, a Zuckschwerdt knife from the 1800s, to even cold hard cash and much more, Ton and Allen are even more determined than ever to make a monster profit.

Bidding on storage units can be an extraordinary gamble. Competing against other infamous auction hunters, high rollers and persistent bidders, Allen and Ton must spend money to make money. So will their latest discoveries be worth the expense? Find out on the following episodes of AUCTION HUNTERS 3:
