A bloke was left in tears after buying a shipping container packed with pillows and rugs — only to uncover a £27,000 surprise hidden away inside.
Determined bidders Mo Marcellous and his pal Ty Smoak were locked in a bidding war with their fellow competitors on Container Wars.
They were presented with a storage unit that had cushions and rugs packed in the front.

While the soft furnishings gave little insight into what was behind them, Mo called out that he was willing to splurge $20,000 (£15.7k) on the unit.
He screamed: "20, bring your A-game. Say something else."
But the bloke he was up against backed out saying: "Let them waste their money" before the hammer dropped.
It left Mo and the rest of "Team Muscle" praying for something good to be hidden inside.
Once left alone with their container, the group started unloading the pillows and rugs, which they estimated could be sold for up to "$25 to $30 a piece".
But after clearing away a few of them, he spotted something that could make him some big bucks covered under a tarp behind.
Sobbing "tears of joy" he slowly removed it to find a custom-built racing speedboat with a 454 engine.
The blokes loved it so much, one of them asked: "Do we have to sell it?"
Mo even blew kisses to it and called it "sexy" before having boat expert, Ross, give him an estimate of its value.

"You've got some money here, this is a race boat," Ross explained.
"This is a grand-national class race boat, which is a marathon-style race boat, 18-foot, short deck."
He also agreed that the boat was a custom design and had been fitted with a 454 engine.
The expert estimated that it would be worth around $35,000 (£27k), which meant they stood to make an estimated profit of $17,000 (£13k) after selling that and the other items from the container.
