I liked this show at the beginning. It has fascinating characters like the arrogant Dave Hester, the eccentric 'collector' Barry Weiss, the Sheets father and son, and young couple Brandi and Jarrod. There is an exciting bidding process. This is also a treasure hunt.

Now comes the problems. The first problem I noticed was the pumping up of the bids. It's exciting to bid higher and higher prices. The show fell into that trap. Once they started to bid higher, they can't seem to stop. The prices became ridiculous. Like an addict, the highs stop being exciting. It is such an obvious annoying setup that the bidding half of the show is now unwatchable.

The show was always prone to faking. The pieces were priced with questionable appraisals. The fact that the characters were paid by the show is not really news. Then planting pieces really blew up. I was willing to accept a few pieces, but the wide spread planting really hurts. It's obvious that things are rigged when every week, exactly 3 of the 4 teams get lockers while 1 team walks away empty handed. EVERY TIME.

The bidding process is now very boring. The characters are wearing a little thin. Dave Hester got booted for possibly complaining about planting of pieces. I still like to see the different buys whether planted or not. Overall, it's not the same anymore. It may have been a 7 at the beginning but it is no more than a 5 now and dropping.

Guys, calm down. It's a reality show, of course it's fake. Even though it's fake, it's extremely entertaining. You always want to see what they find, even though the producers planted it. How fun would it be if they didn't find anything in the lockers? It would be a bad show, like every other reality program that isn't fake. If you can even name one. Overall it's an enjoyable show, nothing too special, but i'd say it's worth your time. The producers did a great job of finding characters to appear in the show, for example: Barry, Jarod and Dave. It's always fun watching them bid, or even cheering a bit yourself in your living room. It's a good show that will keep you hooked at least a season.

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.

LOL. I wouldn't be able to survive in this business. I'll overpay, and I won't be able to sell the junk I buy. I don't know how these people do it. They buy lockers and then claim they can sell "this chair for $200 and that table for $500." To who? Who is buying this and how do you make a profit when you have so much overhead. Anyway like I say, I wouldn't survive.

Storage Wars is a reality TV show that is about auctions that take place for storage lockers that can contain very valuable items. The buyers have a few minutes to take a look at the contents of the said locker and then the auction begins. In one episode a corpse was found of a woman whose husband had murdered her.

Storage Wars is an interesting series, once you start watching it becomes more addictive as you get to know the characters and pretty soon you are just itching to see what they have discovered and if their buys are good ones. I like watching Storage Wars to pique my interest as well as be entertained and often think of what items of value are out there just waiting to be discovered. Just please don't try buying your own storage locker.

Whenever I see the overbearing obnoxious Dave Hester on the show I turn it off. I cannot stand him ruining and otherwise good shows.

It must have taken a focused and intense effort to come up with a cast of characters who are so convincingly rude, selfish, crude, tasteless, mean-spirited, arrogant and generally miserable human beings. In the first season or two, the programme was interesting and even amusing on occasion. It has gone precipitously downhill from there. Spouses and business partners insult and demean each other at every turn, occasionally taking a break to ridicule their competitors. And that man whose only line is "aaayup" to bid...needs to find a new schtick. It has become nearly impossible to like ANY of these people. Is that the point?

I don't get why people thought it's real, as literally every locker has something and they all have specialists on tap, plus dan and Laura are utter scumbags, wish Dave would have flattened them both, it's dumb fun and that's it. Your own fault believing these kinda shows are real. If it was way more people would do it. Plus it was always a tv character who won...none of the extras... come on.

Tbh it's a 5/10 show but Mary... she makes it a 9, sweetest funniest dork on tv.

This show is currently being broadcast on German television (Sport1). My old dad has always watched this show with interest. Until I showed him the mistakes of the show. It always buys the same few people the store. Why never other people? Because only a few are engaged by the producer and paid for their role. After the purchase, the buyers immediately tell for what price the used scrap is sold. How do you know if and for what price this scrap is being sold? Clearly, this review is far from reality. And why is never shown whether the goods are sold? Because the goods are not sold by the performers. What happens to the goods, know only the employees of the show.

To answer the headline: Yes, me and my dad do not look this fake crap again.

This show is fake, staged, and above all else, TERRIBLE! It blows my mind that there are morons out there who gobble this crap up. Stop enabling this awful television. Get a grip on reality.

They claim nobody has seen inside the lockers until they cut the lock on the show.

Except on one episode when they rolled up the door you could see a piece of paper already in the locker with information about the filming date in large letters. Apparently, the locker owner was psychic. And the logos on name brand items are already taped over when the door rolls up. So they have clearly been in the lockers before taping. But they still make a big show of cutting the lock off.

Otherwise it is just too random that in so many lockers with stained mattresses and bags of old clothes there is also something very unique and valuable. That's what I put in my storage locker, empty boxes and a priceless artifact.

After watching Auction Hunters i looked for more similar type shows.

This show is about a couple of terrible auction hunters that spend more time overbidding each other than making any real money. I'd love to see what they really made on the sales rather than over estimated values.

This show is about what you could expect on world series of poker. Only entertainment is watching this guy Dave be a jackass. I would have love to have seen them stick it too him by letting the units go to him after he bids it up instead of overpaying for junk units. i gave up after 6 episodes.

I would advise anyone to watch Auction Hunters. Those guys were very particular about how much a unit might be worth by how much they could actually see. It is dumb to by a unit and pay 1700 with hope factor and "had a feeling".

I love this show! I would love it even more if Dave were not a part of it! Dave has the worst attitude of any person I have ever seen. For someone to deliberately want to affect someones livelihood is just pure devilish! Barry on the other hand is hilarious!! He makes us laugh on about every episode we watch! He would be SO much fun to hang out with. ;) We also like Brandy and Jarrod, they are in it for their business and to make a living, and it seems they enjoy the auction too. Darrell and his son make a good team, it's nice to know a father and son can work and enjoy their time together. I do have one question though, who comes up with how much they have made? For example when Dave said something was a certain price does it is even sell for that?? Thanks!

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.

As long as DAVE is in them I'm not interested he is just big asshole. Used to like this show way back when brandy ,jarrod, barry, mary,darrel now the new ones really suck there awful. Especially with Dave back. Bring back very one you had at beginning minus dave. Dave ruins this whole show with his smart comments. Everyone should know that the lockers are fixed it's like wrestling it's for entertainment, and when Dave is there it's not entertaining. GOODBYE STORAGE WARS IT'S OVER.

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

Awesome freaking show! The show is great and intriguing before you get to know the characters. Once you know the characters the show gets even better! They get to know each other and they start hating each other. Awesome. I could watch this show all day. I actually have. I personally like everyone except Mr. Hester. Although he definitely is the smartest of the bunch. It's awesome to see something that you would think doesn't costs a penny turn out to be something super expensive. Overall I'd say its a darn good show. Go into it with a positive attitude and I think you will thoroughly it's a show for all ages. 9/10 almost perfect but I think they might have to change up the lineup soon and get a new cast.

It's so obviously scripted and not entertaining at all. i feel like i'm watching a wrestling program, the actors insult each other, there's talk of strategy when there's not (if you want it, buy it) and the extremely inflated prices for what they say they can get for it. and the person that tells them the market value buys it from them.....really ?

This show used to be entertaining, interesting, and fun. Now it's bitter Brandy. Brandy and Jarrod aren't together - over 2 years now. Yet she's got this salty attitude when they both shop lockers at the same location.

Perhaps this is in purpose?

If so, having these 2 bicker and call each other names isn't giving this show a watchable factor.

Where's Barry Weiss when you need him?

Two years ago I would say Storage Wars was my favourite TV show. The people in it- the junk- the unique items- Dan's distinctive auction style- everyone hated Dave- it was great. Yes its staged and scripted in parts but no-one cared. It was such a winning formula there have been numerous spin-offs and millionaires made in the process. However there is one key question- one big element to the show that can make or break it....are the lockers genuine or have they been tampered with pre-auction? Surely if items were placed in lockers for the show the show would be totally pointless, right? Well after Dave suggested that's how the show worked for me it was the final nail in the coffin. My thoughts before that were that they would film tons of auctions and only show the ones which had an interesting appraisable item in them. If it were to be the case where the appraisable item was actually planted in there- the show would have committed the cardinal sin- lying to the viewers about the whole point of the show. Dave is now back in Storage Wars- I assume to save it- and must have been given serious cash to do so, which he has said yuuup to. Its too late though. Even the biggest star and much copied format can't save it. My prediction: Storage Wars final show to be made in 2014. Watch this space
