Storage Wars on A&E TV (1 Viewer)

[shuke]

Their pricing of items is crazy, but when they walked through Brandy and Jarod's new unit they had priced things the same way. $800 for a used bed frame, $500 for a dresser. I can buy something new for those prices.

Went down to Short North (Arts and antique district) over the weekend. We went into the biggest of the antique/consignment stores. While looking around, I came across this knight helmet/cooler thing. It looks like a knight helmet, but open it up and it's a cooler (Probably big enough to hold a can of coke if you want close it, a bottle of wine if you want to leave it open. They listed the price at $140 (but was on sale for $110 that weekend with the storewide sale.) I have one of those. My parents got it long ago and a few ears back asked if I wanted it or should they give it to good will. I took it because, after all, it looked like a knight helmet. This is something that I would not value at more than $10. So maybe there is some legitimacy to these prices.

Just because something is priced at $140 doesn't means it's worth $140.

well, anything is worth whatever a person is willing to pay for it.

Exactly.

I would love to hear from someone who has been in the crowd at one of these tapings.

I'm thinking that they must designate certain auctions as "TV auctions" where only the main characters can truly bid. Sure, strangers get in on the action on rare occasions, but they never win. It is always Dave, Barry, Darrell and Jarrod throwing around bids. Usually, there is a huge crowd of people but only two of the TV characters are in the running.

A show of "Here's what you didn't win" would be rather boring.

I read up on this. They conduct and tape 20-25 auctions at each site. Some will be won by people not on the show. Then they pick the outcomes that make for an interesting show.

[ericttspikes]

I am really really really starting to hate Darrell.

He's a character. I think his son is pretty funny. He's aware that they are both goofballs. He made a good crack to his dad on one episode when Darrell was busting on Jarrod and Brandi's outfits, and Brandon says, "who are we, the tank top twins?".

In many ways, it's like watching poker. How many poker hands are really interesting? Not all that many. But they take a few interesting hands over the course of many hours and string them together, so to those that don't play cards it almost seems like people get dealt GREAT HANDS every five minutes. I played 8 hours of hold em over the weekend. I don't think I had a high pocket pair even once.Same thing in Storage Wars. I'm guessing most units have nothing remotely interesting in them and/or the people in the show don't win the auctions. I rented a storage unit before, and if anyone ever won an auction with my stuff in it, they would have won a bunch of baby clothes, a couple tricycles, a bedroom set, pots and pans, winter coats, and a bunch of personal effects (pictures, newspaper clippings, kids arts and crafts projects, etc.).Sadly, my unit would not have had collectible Coke bottles, rare jewelry, a civil war sword from a field general, etc. I would guess my stuff would be what would typically be in a unit. Not exactly "high drama" for tv purposes.

I've been to a few storage auctions, and this is pretty much par for the course. The only interesting one I've seen had a bunch of equipment from an auto repair shop. Other than that, it is what you noted above, plus books in every unit. Lots and lots of books.

I am positive that the majority of the interesting things they find are planted.

Well each one of those pieces of baby clothing is a three dollar bill. I can get an easy $800 for this bedroom set. $50 for the pots and pans. These here tricycles I've seen sell for $100 a piece. Another $300 in miscellaneous stuff in here....Whoa. Hold on, hold on, now THIS is what I'm talking about. This artwork here looks like original work to me. I've seen some of this modern art stuff and it can go for big bucks. These look like that guy Jackson, uh, Pollard I think it is. I'm going to have to take these to a dealer and have them check it out.

 

[Silver & Black]

First of all, I agree, many of the prices on furniture or other stuff is way out of control. However, I have a buddy that is actually in the business and you would be very surprised at what he gets for stuff. You have to understand, that when you are a regular at these things, you get to know people in the industry that buy certain types of stuff. For example, my buddy has "a guy" that buys bags and bags of his junk. Literally torn clothes, old sneakers and things like that. He'll buy the bag and combine them with other stuff and ship them off to 3rd world countries that apparently buy up this stuff. The more worn and tattered the better!!

I only say that because a bag of garbage may be just that. But to these guys, they know people that will buy that stuff. Also, these professional buyers know guys that will buy the lamp or couch at prices you wouldn't think they would go for in a store because they know someone else that wants to buy it and so on....

Just saying.

 

[Sheriff Bart]

Here's some used tissues, that's a dollar a piece! What do we have here? Ahh, some 5.25" floppy disks! These are old highly collectible, that's $10 each! Over here we have a five gallon bucket full of gravel, I can move that for $35! Wait....what??!!!!!!! /commercial

I hear you and agree in concept, but disagree in principle. If I bought a remaindered, left over couch somewhere for $300 12 years ago, I doubt used and in fair condition it suddenly is going to sell for the same price or even more in a second hand store. I'll give you that my great grandparents oak dining room set in mint condition from 100 years ago would fetch a pretty penny, but a generic piece of used furniture that came from a generic store is not going to sell for big bucks.I mean, sometimes they show run of the mill, antiquated, grungy toaster ovens and say they could sell for $40-50. A brand new one from a Target or Walmart sells for $30. No woman I know would buy or allow a man to buy the one they show in the show.It still doesn't really impact the entertainment value of the show, it just could be a little more realistic is all. At some point, the cast will figure out they can assign any value they want to make their profit look higher. I'm just waiting for a unit to have a bunch of old beat up tires with no tread left and have them say each one is worth 200 bucks so they would have ten grand worth of tires.

comes back from commercialIt's a cream colored, 1961 Gibson "SG," once owned by guitar legend Mary Ford!!!! There's even a stack of papers documenting it!!! I better take it to an expert to get it appraised.

 

[YSR]

I am really really really starting to hate Darrell.

Started out hating Dave, but he's grown on me a little. Darrell doesn't bring much to the table, IMO, and his "here's a __________ dollar bill" shtick is wearing very thin.

 

[HughHoney]

HAhaha. Grove Diesel killing it.

 

[The Big Guy]

now let us not forget that many folks who shop at consignment stores are not the best and brightest of our brothers and will pay more then normal retail if they think that they are getting a deal, since they are in a thrift store. Here is a hint, WalMart doesn't have the lowest price on everything either, but people shopping there think that everything they are throwing into their cart is half free.

I think that we are also forgetting the "I bought it from the TV Storage Wars guys" type of overpayment, like the $50 matchbox cars and other stuff that Brandi and jarrod are throwing up on ebay. You know that Hester has figured out how to leverage the fame into more traffic for his store.

 

[urbanhack]

watched it twice.....I'm done.

My wife and I just discovered this show on Netflix the other day. We're almost finished with Season 1. Anyone know where I can find other seasons?

September 2011 called, it wants it's show hype back

...already on the downward trajectory

 

[David Yudkin]

My wife and I just discovered this show on Netflix the other day. We're almost finished with Season 1. Anyone know where I can find other seasons?

There aren't any. The current season is the second season. They have some episodes on demand on our cable service. They generally air a slew of episodes from last year and this year in a row on Tuesday nights and Saturday nights.

 

[FavreCo]

HAhaha. Grove Diesel killing it.

I think he's one of the writers.

 

[Fat Nick]

September 2011 called, it wants it's show hype back...already on the downward trajectory

Agreed...Watched a "new" episode the other night...yawn.I can think of TWO things that would get me excited about this show again...

 

[pantherclub]

I watched last night and it seemed all the other bidders just wanted to "bid up" the units to make the others pay more. My question is why do this and whats the point? Wouldnt this just come full circle when you are trying to bid on a unit you truly want and what happens when you bid up a unit but get stuck with it?

If you bid people up on units you don't want, it leaves less money for them to bid on a unit you do want.

1) To empty the competition's pockets. That way, they have less money or inclination with which to bid on another unit later that you might want.2) Sure it does, happens all the time. 3) Then you're stuck with it. Then you can do what Barry does and just throw everything in the unit onto the concrete and break it until you find an old chest or antique of some sort, sell everything in the unit for $10 a pop like Brandy and Jarrod do, or find Joan of Arc's toenail clippings and somehow turn a $5,000 profit like Dave does.

 

[UOFI_316]

It doesn't matter what you end up paying, if this show has taught us anything it is that every single storage unit has one item that is hidden away worth 3x what you paid. You just have to find it.

 

[St. Louis Bob]

They also all have porn and dildos.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Dave is getting rather boring. I'll bid em up and stick em them with it. Then he wins the locker he's trying to bid up all of a sudden it's becomes I'll double my money these guys don't know what they're doing.

Yuuup.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Are they trying to bring in another person? They've had a few people now in a couple of episodes that seems like are auditioning or something. And they've been terrible so far.The guy that thought he hit gold because he found an old original NES and thought it could be worth $15,000 was hilarious. So wooden and stiff. He clearly was just repeating what he had seen on the show.And the woman last night was terrible too. Big talker and dropped a lot of f-bombs bur seemed completely unnatural and boring.

Nabila has been on 3 or 4 shows now. I read somewhere (I can't remember where) that Dave Hester is demanding more money from the Network. I wonder if they are auditioning Nabila as a possible replacement. She seems to have the same schtick as Dave.

They or she are/is trying to portray her as a veteran. A vet would have know that gun was a reproduction.

Wow look at this antique gun from the 1600s stamped San Francisco!

 

[SacramentoBob]

So has anyone dug up the dirt on Dave Hester for why he had to do community service in the past?

That's a 500 zillion dollar bill right there. This show should revolve around showing Brandy's cans.

 

[B-Deep]

I'd like to see Darrell take something from a unit and try and pawn it on Pawn Stars

Darrell: Well this here is an antique wig stand, it is worth $500 easy. I know a pawn guy who will love this

Rick: It is a wooden head

Darrell Very few of these exist! I have seen these go for $500 all day!

Rick: Listen i have to pay to get it deloused, then it is going to sit on my shelf for ages till a wooden head collector comes by, i don;t see any money in it. I'll give you $12

[Ministry of Pain]

Barry Weiss will be appearing at the Seminole Casino in Coconut Creek, FL.

 

[Bogart]

Roy (The Safety) Williams is showing up as a regular on Storage Wars: Texas now.

My how the mighty have fallen.

 

[Rayderr]

Even the Travel Channel is hoping on board the "buying unknown junk in the hopes it's worth a lot" show bandwagon. It's called Baggage Battles where people bid on unclaimed baggage at the airports. Seriously. Anyways, one of the teams is Barry's secondary expert. Not the guy with all the eclectic stuff, but the british antique dealer and his wife (Barry took the spittoon to him, and I believe Darrel took the Boy Scout badges to him). Not sure why an antiques dealer would want unclaimed baggage. I doubt there's many antiques in suitcases.

 

[GroveDiesel]
