About this episode
David and Ryan sit down for a long-form chat with the co-founder of Screen-Used (RIP), one of the outfits that helped to bring movie memorabilia collecting out of the niche and into the mainstream. Desi talks about his story, how he discovered collecting (via a Back to the Future II hoverboard), how built his passion up into a viable retail and auction business -- all while holding down a grow-up job! The guys talk with Desi about buying twelve movie guns at a single auction, buying a T2 motorcycle from the guy who made T2, buying a screen-matched Darth Vader from another biker-dude, retirement and the eventual demise of Screen-Used, and being -- quite possibly -- the greatest Ebay bidder of all time.
