I used to enjoy Storage Wars until Dave Hester got so ugly with others and they then stooped to his level. Then Barry started acting like an idiot. Then the cast of characters altered and it got even worse. Mary invented stupid and the sound of Renee's voice is painful. I had hope for the show once Dave Hester was ousted but then the moron returned even worse that he was before. It is hard to believe that much of anything on the show is real based on how poorly they act during filming. If you are going to produce a reality show then be honest with your finished product - don't doctor it up to make it more interesting. There has to be a better way to spend my time; possibly cleaning my oven will be less painful than watching my formerly-much loved program

... a core group of show bidders seemingly win 98% of all lockers. The tallying up of what is found is ludicrous! Whatever these people feel like saying stuff is worth. Rolls of T-paper I get $500 for those. Lately they stop adding up a locker as soon as something interesting pops out, with upwards of 90% of the rest of the unit not even looked at. This makes a lot of people suspect all the other stuff in the unit was a false front(200 boxes filled with air) However, I can remember when con man Barry allegedly bought a unit full of antiques and didn't go very far into the unit before he stopped appraising the value of stuff. But you could see a bunch of high end things he never bothered to mention.It just happened again in the most recent episode with Daryl Sheets winning a locker full of gun stuff. They appraised about 4 boxes of stuff and you could see there was another 75 boxes! and then they acted like nothing was in the unit at the end of the show in the final tally except for a trap.Is it faked? Most certainly. Are the appraisals legit? Most certainly not! They keep finding all this non antique stuff in used condition and then they go to some place that sort of deals with that item and they keep getting appraisals near the retail new price. It's ridiculous! On the same show a Re-pro coffee roaster was appraised for $500 that's literally hard to sell for $50. I thoroughly believe all these finds are "product placements" giving the show an excuse to go to showcase businesses that pay to be on the show! I'd like to point out something to viewers. There aren't big surprises in these storage auctions. Nobodies secretly driving a Maserati into one and the facility doesn't know its there! They have security cameras that they simply roll back when people default and then fast forward that particular camera. Small stuff in boxes, sure but not the big things they keep portraying.

As long as DAVE is in them I'm not interested he is just big asshole. Used to like this show way back when brandy ,jarrod, barry, mary,darrel now the new ones really suck there awful. Especially with Dave back. Bring back very one you had at beginning minus dave. Dave ruins this whole show with his smart comments. Everyone should know that the lockers are fixed it's like wrestling it's for entertainment, and when Dave is there it's not entertaining. GOODBYE STORAGE WARS IT'S OVER.

Storage Wars is about buyers who buy storage units of people who couldn't afford to keep them or left them from any other reason.the "rules of the show are :1. each week 3 of 4 buyers will by unit, without seeing what's in them, beside how they look from the outside.2. 1 will go home without buying anything.3. they will all find some antiques, or valuable collectables, that were not expected to be find in the unit.4. then they immediately get appraisal from an expert. usually that will find out that the finding worth a lot.5. for the other items they find, they will appraisal them by themselves :usually they will expect a profit that is 2 times , from the real price that they will sell it (if they sell it at all).players : 2 typical rednecks (father + son), a weird collector (the shows clown), the young married couple (not really married), and the veteran mogul (the bad guy). there are more players but they are less significant.the mvps : the collector : barry and the mogul : dave.season 1 - 3 : all player present (the best years). season 4 - 5 (most of 5) the mogul left and was replaced by a fat German dude and is dumb wife. season 5 - the collector left to his own show - without the best players the show lost its fun and entertainment factor.pro & cons : + entertainment and fun : season 1-3. - "salting" - the production is WWF the entire show take the credibility out of the reality.
