Fakest show I have ever seen.


This show is such a crock. The very idea that they make enormous profits every single time is so ridiculous that I have to laugh. The stuff they find, a $10,000 model jet? a vintage Pepsi machine? Give me a fricking break!!!
This show sucks.
Storage Wars rules!!!

If you watch from the begining, you will see that a disclaimer is posted that these are re-enactments of some of Allen and Tun's best finds. Most of these so called "Reality" shows are afraid to tell you that much. In addition, they often tell you during the show that they only make money on about 20% of the lockers they buy. The other 80%, they loose money on.

I've done the flea market/auction thing back in my day, I love how they find a buyer as soon as they get a bunch of crap, even if someone is specializing in something...yeah, you're not going to be making a profit like that in a day and you're not always going to get someone who wants your stuff at the drop of a hat

I know this show has a disclaimer and that these are re-enactments of their best finds but it's still all lies and fake.

It's on Spike tv for christ sakes!

which means they are going to find "Manly" cool stuff, Spike trying to target their demograph audience. Males from 18-49.

Their going to find guns, weapons, World War memorabilia, robots, cars, video games/arcades, things that explode. You know sh** that men would find interesting.

Know that the show is complete fake and just watch it for entertainment, thats what I do.

Sure it is, if it was not fake they would not have hired Actors, these guys are actors do a search on them. I did this for 20 years in many states and no homeruns like these guys hit each week. U spent thousands on single units and saw the stuff and still ost money.

jtothap you are an idiot as Storage Wars sucks just as bad and is just as stupid. If it wasn't for Brandi Schulz's big tits you wouldn't even watch that garbage.

Years ago we had an auction every week at a Rescue Mission warehouse. They'd have banana boxs full of old clothing. They'd go for $2-$5. One day they started the action and an old guy in the front bought the first box. About 30 seconds later he got all excited and the auctioneer said from the podium...

"What's up Carl?"
"I found a $50 bill in the box!"

The rest of the night the boxes averaged $10 apiece! There were about 100! That evening 'spike' the auctioneer exclaimed "best $25 I ever spent!", I said don't you mean $50?

"No, I split it with him"

It reminds me of how over the years every single time some locked trunk, or piggy bank rattled every auctioneer I knew would declare "Could be a 1909 svb in there!"

This type of carney selling a fantasy is not new, at all!
