Storage Wars

[jbrooks]

American Pickers is sooooooooo staged.  If you are active on oldgas.com you will see a few threads from time to time discussing how they stage stuff.  Do you really think they go from Iowa to Pennsylvania to South Carolina in that van.  I have also noticed within some episodes they mess up their timeline.  As they are leaving to go on a pick there is something in the background that catches my eye and then later in the show they are pretending to buy it, how did they have back at the shop in Iowa before they bought it somewhere else later?

Bonovox...

You are referring to Darrell and his son Brandon (aka Brando).

I shouldn't know that, but I do.  I digress.

I love when they high five for some over inflated appraisal

I watch them all over here.. Pickers is best not because of what they pick but because of what is lurking in the background.
Some might be staged but they can't stage ALL the hoard. My eyes are evrrywhere when they open the barn. They almost always
miss the best bits and go to the staged items.

Watched Restoration the other night where Rick restored a stamp vendor and charged the guy $1000. You can pick up NOS machines
for around $100 on eBay. What a load of old !%@$e...

You have to know that Storage Wars, especialy, is staged. How many people are going to abandon a storage unit with thousands of dollars worth of items.  I do like the shows for the entertainment value, beats most of the other crap on TV.

I talked to a person that has been in the storage auction business for 25 years and he told me he has never found money in any of the storage units he bid on and won.  What a bunch of crap.  They find money in those units all of the time.


Glad it was finally exposed.

 We all know a lot of it Fake .

      It is my belief that the termination and lawsuit are just a big publicity stunt created by the producers to increase ratings.

Not that I'm backing any of the show's mentioned. I used to clean out and secure foreclosed houses. You'd be surprised what people leave behind.

The found money and jewelry really irks me.  Who in their right mind would put those items in a storage unit?  Especially the money that they could have used to pay the monthly rental of the unit they walked away from.  I have pretty much stopped watching Pawn Stars and Pickers due to the over-the-top reactions and sellers who travel across the country with valuable treasures.  Still watch American Restoration just to see what items are brought in and restored.
