    YUUUP!

    What are you going to do about it?
    My legend dates back to the 12th Century you see. My legend is quite old. The 12th Century was a long time ago. It was summer and so cold from the snow because it was actually winter or maybe it was Monday. It could have been a Thursday or possibly a Saturday or was it Tuesday though it could have been Wednesday or a Monday.

    I do question the validity of the show. Can anyone shed light on this. I know Pawn Stars is heavily scripted and I can imagine Storage Wars is too. Yet they all seem to own their own store where they sell these goods...except Barry? And Barry is by far my favorite. Its like he gives a rats ass about everything in the units unless he finds ONE thing that will make his money back.

    Barry's not in it to make money, he's loaded. He's in it for the pursuit of weird things, and if he can sell some things to cover the cost, that's great. He is totally awesome.

    Barry Weiss, "The Collector". Barry and his brother owned a produce company until he retired and is only looking for a few collector's items to keep. He sells or donates everything else. While Barry is a lifelong antique collector, he had no involvement in buying storage units until his friend and Storage Wars executive producer Thom Beers suggested he join the show.[12] Barry is the best financed of the group and is the only one not in it for financial profit. He will not sell any fur articles in a unit he purchases, instead donating them to charity or giving them to another buyer.

    Did not know. That's pretty cool.

    Storage Wars and American Pickers are two guilty pleasures of mine... probably out of jealousy that these dudes get to play with all of this cool stuff they stumble across.

    It's impossible to stop watching an ep after it's started. I NEED to know how much that stuff they find is worth!

    And is it a Southern Cali thing for there being a 'specialist' for every random item ever produced by mankind?

    Wiki says:
    Darrell Sheets, "The Gambler", appears with his son Brandon. Darrell occasionally clashes with Dave Hester. In one episode, Sheets mocked Hester's business by having his son wear a hat that read "Newport Con Gallery." In another episode, Brandon wore a shirt that simply said, "Rags to Riches and Now and Then Thrift store sucks!". He lives with his wife, son and young granddaughter, Zoe. In episode 30, Darrell said he just went through a divorce. Later in the episode he said "I've got a new woman in my life and she loves jewelry." He stated in a 2011 interview that he has been doing this for 32 years[8] and in a different interview indicated that some of his biggest finds during that time included a sizable comic book collection, four drawings by Pablo Picasso and a letter written by Abraham Lincoln that sold for over $15,000.[9] In a recent highlight episode, Darrell revealed that he once uncovered a plastic-wrapped human corpse in a storage locker. He was interviewed by police and it was determined that the previous owner of the locker had murdered his wife and left her in the unit.

    For serious??!!

    The fact that those shows are scripted to at least some extent kind of ruins it for me. However once I start watching an episode, I agree... I need to find out what the things are worth.

    I don't disagree with any of that except the dump as rocks thing. Listen to him talk, he's dumb as rocks. That or he's the best actor on the planet and they should have given him the Forrest Gump role. Actually there are some sedimentary classes of rocks that I've give a fighting chance on an IQ test against him.

    Barry apparently made a fortune running his own produce business and that's where his money comes from.

    Darrell found some comic book collection with close to a mil early on and I think that got him started and kept him going.

    That's all I know.

    Just saw what I think was the pilot episode yesterday and the comic book collection was worth over $1.4million but he sold it for $150K, if my memory serves me correctly. He sold it before he had any real idea of what it was all worth.

    And the pilot episode was severely lacking in Brandi's boobs.

    I can't stand reality TV, but this show is an exception. Love Barry and despise Dave. Jared is the dumbass in the group.

    Do all storage places have auctions like this?

    How do you find out about these locally? I'd totally go any bid on a box...
