The show idea is enjoyable as well as the main characters but, way too many commercials and always the same commercials over and over.
More commercials than show. Plus the commercials are all about nasty human beings too. Hard to watch shouldn't even be on TV.

My kids and I really enjoy watching this show for education purposes of learning about certain things and what they are worth or might be worth. I bought a storage unit back in 2002 for 400 dollars on a silent ballet and sold the contents of the room for 14,000. I still had lots of stuff left over from the room that I didn't even get to. I've heard rumors that they say this show is fake and I could see where they might fake a bit of it or fluff some of it but I've done it before so I know not all of it is fake. My only thing about this TV show is they wholesale their items, if they just did some research and took the time to retail them they would make a lot more money. But oh well it's good fun to watch, I'd watch this over most things on TV today anyway. Makes me want to get back into buying units!!
This and 'Storage Wars' are a couple guilty pleasures for me. Allen Haff and Ton Jones are partners in storage room buying. The two shows came out around the same time. I like this one marginally better. At the beginning, I liked that these guys actually try to sell their stuff instead of just getting appraisals. It's always good to see hard cash being exchanged. As both shows progress, I still like this one but not so much SW.
When the controversy about planting pieces happened over at SW, this show tried to inoculate itself with a live show. It was a laughable mess. It didn't really prove anything. However it doesn't really matter. A little bit of faking is getting to be expected from shows like these.
The two guys have lots of fun. They get to shoot and blow up stuff. That is always fun. There are also lots of interesting pieces whether they're fake or not. The major danger for the show is the gradual change in what the guys are doing. They travel way too much sometimes which makes no real-world sense. They started a store which is really outside their comfort zone. And they are setting up people to be their competition like Carolyn. There are obvious actors involved now. It is a show that is on the verge of going completely fake. I hope they relax on some of the writing and not inject too much melodramas.

I enjoyed watching this on spike TV online and couldn't stop checking out the episodes. While someone might argue this is setup or fake, I don't really care because looking at the things that they found is fun and educate me about the objects and their history. It's really a great learning show to be honest.
The hosts are fine people who don't use foul language, not violent and show appreciation to the *buyers* and seem genuine to me. I have to agree with another reviewer that this is one of the better shows out there these days. And I am certainly surprised that it's from Spike TV but not BBC or some home channel.
Great show!

Great show!
Although I watch and enjoy this programme - one thing that I find truly irritating are those stupid white socks regularly worn by Ton. A big bloke with white ankle socks looks truly ridiculous. What a joke'

- TriviaEach episode begins with a text disclaimer stating that Haff and Jones purchase hundreds of units each year, and that only their rarest and most valuable finds are presented on the show. They claim that most of their units end up making little to no money, and that in fact they follow the 80%/20% rule in that they make 80% of their profit from 20% of the units they buy.
