Storage Wars on A&E -- Big watch find

If any of you guys ever watch the TV series Storage Wars on A&E you know that once the "auction" is completed a box appears in the upper left corner showing what the buyer paid for the contents of the storage unit and it's "market value".

This evening I saw the latest episode where one of the treasure hunters purchased a unit and paid 500.00 for the contents. While sorting through the contents the box constantly updates the value vs. the cost. The profit box starts out showing the buyer was 200.00 to the good, almost as soon as they open the door.

As the two guys are going through a stack of storage boxes there is this big OMG moment, and like the show always does when there is this big "find" they cut to a commercial. When the show resumes one of the buyers reaches into the box he just opened and brings up a hand full of Rolex and Omega watches. Immediately the profit in the box goes to 11,700.00.

By chance anybody here have a storage locker in California with your Rep's inside?

That would be funny if they were reps.

The show is fake. But I did see the episode. They never gave a clear closeup of the watches. The only one that I could identify was a Bulova.

I do watch the show from time to time but not that episode. Would be great if they are real. If frankens, they can still recover some cost.

Indeed. She's oddly bangable.

Why do people like Reality TV so much? It's all scripted BS drama with failed wannabe actors, lowest form of mass produced entertainment handed left and right on all channels like flyers at an expo. Main reason I canceled my cable years ago, it's all bs on TV, reality TV must die.

If I was told I had to marry one of these beasts, I'd turn gay in a heartbeat!

Not sure which one of these two I'd pick but either one would be preferable over those harpies...

Married to that twatwaffle....smh
One would suspect that since her apparent tastes in men is so mundane, that her "bangability" factor automatically rises in the minds of ordinary folks like us...???:whistle:

the shows are stupid, but storage auctions are real. My brother actually bid and won a unit in Las Vegas. You can't make money on it unless you own a second hand type consignment store or find jewelry you can pawn. But he got like $600 worth of power tools for $150.

I know the storage auctions are real but what I question is the quality of the contents left when the auction time comes. I store my toy hauler in a storage place by my house and frequently speak with the manager. He tells me they always go through the locker prior to auctioning it off. I'm sure most storage places do this as well.

I read somewhere that the show paid for her boob job to enhance the shows sex appeal
