Minerva Breanne Meybridge Units are purchased by the production company, then seeded with antiques or valuable items, re-sealed, then auctioned on TV. More than likely none of the bidders pay for anything. One may note how no one but the cast ever wins any of the auctions. That alone is revealing in itself. And there experts are not. In one segment, an "expert" stated that a turn of the century quack UV medical device was made as a sex toy, which it most definitely was not. Prices given are wish prices, not realistic. Even at a swap meet at half the price, it might take years to sell any of it.

tenandlast I used to enjoy Storage Wars until Dave Hester got so ugly with others and they then stooped to his level. Then Barry started acting like an idiot. Then the cast of characters altered and it got even worse. Mary invented stupid and the sound of Renee's voice is painful. I had hope for the show once Dave Hester was ousted but then the moron returned even worse that he was before. It is hard to believe that much of anything on the show is real based on how poorly they act during filming. If you are going to produce a reality show then be honest with your finished product - don't doctor it up to make it more interesting. There has to be a better way to spend my time; possibly cleaning my oven will be less painful than watching my formerly-much loved program

sharon_sf Storage Wars is about buyers who buy storage units of people who couldn't afford to keep them or left them from any other reason.the "rules of the show are :1. each week 3 of 4 buyers will by unit, without seeing what's in them, beside how they look from the outside.2. 1 will go home without buying anything.3. they will all find some antiques, or valuable collectables, that were not expected to be find in the unit.4. then they immediately get appraisal from an expert. usually that will find out that the finding worth a lot.5. for the other items they find, they will appraisal them by themselves :usually they will expect a profit that is 2 times , from the real price that they will sell it (if they sell it at all).players : 2 typical rednecks (father + son), a weird collector (the shows clown), the young married couple (not really married), and the veteran mogul (the bad guy). there are more players but they are less significant.the mvps : the collector : barry and the mogul : dave.season 1 - 3 : all player present (the best years). season 4 - 5 (most of 5) the mogul left and was replaced by a fat German dude and is dumb wife. season 5 - the collector left to his own show - without the best players the show lost its fun and entertainment factor.pro & cons : + entertainment and fun : season 1-3. - "salting" - the production is WWF the entire show take the credibility out of the reality.

waid2525 This is a typical reality show that presents a false reality. They bank on getting you hooked with the oh look what's in the box...CUT TO COMMERCIAL. The truth is Dave Hester one of the shows primary bidders has filed a lawsuit against the show for planting items in lockers because honestly the whole business is very boring they are even accused of paying for plastic surgery for one of the girls to add sex appeal and rigging the auctions. Seriously not making this up. The show is boring and obviously rigged and faked. They ruined what could have been a neat little series with the Reality Show shenanigans. Just thought you should know what you are really seeing.
