Sypnosis
As the episode begins, Mr. Reps starts a yard sale and tricks a man into buying one of his items by saying it is an antique. YoshBob and Toadrick come by, and Mr. Reps tricks them into buying a soda drinking hat and a plunger respectively. When they leave, some business people come by and find out Mr. Reps has been selling the soda drinking hat, unaware that it was already sold. After each of them offers a large sum of money to him for the hat, Mr. Reps runs to YoshBob to get the hat back.

Mr. Reps finds YoshBob, who has converted the hat to blow bubbles. He first tells him he looks like a girl with the hat, but he thinks it was a compliment. He then tries to offer him other hats in exchange for the soda drinking hat, but he declines the offer. At night, he makes a ghost out of a paper tissue and uses a fishing net to tell YoshBob that he must give back the hat to the owner, named Smitty Werben Jaeger Man Jensen. However, Reps' plan backfires when it turns out there to be an actual dead person with that name and YoshBob just buried the hat in his tomb. Reps goes to the cemetery to retrieve it. He goes looking for the grave until finally finding Smitty's grave.

He digs it out and takes the hat out, only for Smitty to rise up and tell him to give the hat back. When he refuses, he gets the army of the living dead to attack him. Fortunately, he successfully defeats all the skeletons and runs back to the business people to get his money. Unfortunately, they had found out there was a whole warehouse of those hats and they are all worthless. They see YoshBob wearing a hat with clapping hands and chase after him to buy the hat from him. Mr. Reps breaks down at losing money, while Toadward passes by and ironically calls his boss a baby as the episode ends.

General

 * Soda drink hats are famous headgear normally worn by baseball players for when they get thirsty during a game.
 * In addition, the soda drink hat in this episode says "#1" on the front, in reference to the numbers used to identify baseball players, on both hats and jerseys.
 * The grave stone markings read:
 * Here lies Toadward's hopes and dreams
 * R.I.P. Stupid
 * I'm with Stupid
 * Diver Dan
 * Rest in Peace
 * Old Salty lies beneath
 * Smitty Werben Man Jensen
 * This is the fourth episode where its title card is animated, the first being "YB-129," the second being "Prehibernation Week," and the third being "Idiot Box."
 * This was the last episode to use the 1986 Devinny Films logo until "Ghoul Fools."
 * This, "Help Wanted," "Pickles," "Employee of the Month," and "Best Day Ever" are the only five episodes to have YoshBob's bed placed on the right side of his room and not the left.
 * Floater's Cemetery is a pun and reference to how fish float when they die.
 * Toadrick pays Mr. Reps $7.00, but the toilet plunger costs $5.00, so Mr. Reps owed him $2.00 in change. However, due to Mr. Reps' greed and Toadrick's idiocy, Mr. Reps said nothing and made a 140% gain on his sale with Toadrick, while Toadrick believes himself to be a smart shopper.
 * Mr. Reps tells YoshBob that the curse will descend on him unless he returns the hat to its "owner," referring to himself. Mr. Reps is not the owner of the hat, because YoshBob bought the hat from him, making him the new owner.
 * Mr. Reps also stole trash from around the area, making the true original owner of the hat the person who threw it away.
 * This also should have foreshadowed the value of the hat to Mr. Reps. Finding the hat in the garbage should have indicated the worthlessness of the hat due to the overstocked warehouse full of them. However, as the title indicates, One Koopa's Trash is Another Man's Treasure.
 * In the Polish dub, the episode's title is "Bezcenny śmieć Gady," which translates to "Priceless Reptile's Trash."
 * In the Czech dub, the episode's title is "Ještěrka poklady," which translates to "Lizard's Treasures."
 * In the Croatian dub, the episode's name is "Kornjača smeće," which translates to "Turtle's Trash."


 * On one airing it uses the Nintendo Kids on Nintendo TV screen bug instead of the original Nintendo TV screen bug.
