Snake-Pit Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 & Storage Wars Texas. I watch Storage Wars... I like it.It's about a bunch of business owners who go to abandoned self storage units and bid on* them.Something like this shouldn't make good TV, but it does.And now they have this new show; Storage Wars Texas; same thing, different people, different state... I've also been getting into that too, lately.Anybody else watch this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Fake as fuck, but very enjoyable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sandman Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I've enjoyed watching it - but don't follow it compulsively.Loved a recent episode where a guy went against his wife's wishes to basically buy one that had a load of tat in it - but parts to a classic car. No car...Final lot was for... the matching car! But, they'd blown their budget and another guy bought it. They managed to sell to him for a profit, despite it looking like they'd wasted nearly £4k haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We occassionally watch them if bored - some are pretty funny and/or interesting.But it is super annoying how they overvalue everything they buy. "Oh, these VHS tapes will go for $5 each all day long. And I'll get a hundred dollar bill out of this scratched up wobbly coffee table." Typically you can buy a lot of the stuff they sell for about half the price they claim they will sell it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzygirl Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I watch it when I'm bored and it's enjoyable. I like Barry, the old guy with the skeleton gloves. I prefer to watch that over Embarrasing Bodies. Edited July 30, 2013 by izzygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patience 4 Axl Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I watch it. The original one though, I could never get into the Texas and even the New York version. It's not the same now that Dave is gone quite honestly. As much as he was a douchebag, he gave that show a dynamic that's since been lacking. Still can't decide if I agree with his allegations that things were planted in lockers by the producers. It does seem odd that there's always one item that needs to be checked out by an "expert". But all in all it's one of the better reality shows out there that I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izzygirl Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 (edited) Dammit. Randy is faster than me. All relaities are scripted and this is not different. Everything prepeared but it's still a nice programme to watch. Edited July 30, 2013 by izzygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything prepeared but it's still a nice programme to watch. They don't read scripts, but there might be some "coaching" and editing done to make it interesting. They may have staged a few items in some of the lockers to make it exciting, but they were probably finds from other lockers found in between seasons.

TombRaider Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I understand you guys like it and all, but I think it's another example of crappy TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITBOSS Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I was reading somewhere else that the rare "items" they find are actually owned by the person appraising them. I find the show enjoyable but it's definitely staged. I gotta agree with the other person who talked about their over estimating the values of stuff. I kinda miss Dave as well and the spinoff shows seem even faker than the original. All in all, I watch it when I'm bored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they are gonna find, who is gonna buy it, etc. It's how it works. Edited July 31, 2013 by izzygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman007 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I'm glad Dave Hester is not there anymore! I enjoy the show. I like to see Brandi and her toys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
