I just read that Dave Hester (Yuuuuuuuup) from Storage Wars was fired from the show because he claimed that the producers planted items in the lockers, or even staged the entire unit.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP

Reality show my yup!

If you want to see a show where they planted items watch auction hunters,they find 10,000 plus in every locker. One of the few I watched they found a Jacobs machine in mint condition under a sheet.

And he's suing the show for 750k for wrongful termination to boot!  

I have a buddy who lives in the same apartment building as Dave does in Oxnard, California, and he says nobody likes Dave.
Just like the people on the show!  Surprise, Surprise!

Personally, I think when Dave wins a locker, he over exaggerates the value of each item to the point where I just mute it until he's done talking.
"Empty used paper coffee cup...that's $10 dollars (according to Dave), scratched up dresser...$200, end table with broken glass...$50, etc, etc."  

Sure Dave!

I agree that I think auction hunters may be staged or have plants in them, but they did have a making of show and they said they have to go through 20 lockers to find one that will make the tv show!

Its funny how most of us, myself included, complain about these shows but yet most of us watch them, even if only occassionally.  I have ruined it for a lot of novices when I tell them American Pickers or Pawn Stars is staged, they think its all real but at the end of the day most of us still enjoy the shows and find them entertaining, even if it is just because we spend the entire half hour yelling at our TV set.

Although it's staged, I think we all watch these shows because we like what they infact "show"  Like that episode when the guy with the tank top and his son found an Eskimo Pie little container, in a locker that had 2 cardboard boxes in it.  It was SO obvious that was planted, but in the end, we got to see something unique.

I fast forward all the bidding and start watchin at the dig of the lockers.

American Pickers I don't think it too staged, although I find it funny that they are doing a "cold call" and there happens to be a camera filming them coming into the property lol.
