Default Storage Wars

I was watching a show called Storage Wars last night and it shows people bidding on storage sheds that have not been paid. Sometimes they find neat and valuable things in them, other times it is just junk. Does anybody else watch?

We watch this show all the time and it is amazing at what they find in the storage sheds! I just can't figure out how such valuable stuff gets left in them like that?

We watch that show often and like you, just believe some of the stuff they find in those things! I can understand that some people may pass away and then something has to be done with it. But, it would seem they would have family somewhere to claim it.

I bet a lot of family members are unaware of the storage sheds or a lot of them just can't pay the bills and decide to let it go. This show is really interesting to me but I hate the way they tally prices by guessing. I want to know the real prices the things sold for! Maybe they could do a special where they show what the things sold for.

I watch it and I LOVE it. I also love Auction hunters, Pawn Stars and American Pickers. I watch one of these every night. I love watching the guys bid against each other on these shows.

I have watched it before but I could never do that for a living, it seems like too much of a risk for me. I am always trying to plan stuff out and not knowing what I would at the end of the month for a budget.

I watch all those other show too CraftyKris. But with Pawn Stars, I never could figure out why someone would bring something there that is worth a lot of money knowing that if they were lucky they might get half of what it's worth. I would go to an Auction house.

I watch Pawn Stars too, EmeliaDay, and I have wondered exactly the same thing. If you hear them appraise it then why not take it somewhere else, even put it on Ebay? I guess it's a matter of getting quick cash in some cases.

I love those shows! I would love to do the Storage bidding thing for extra income. I've been thinking of trying to find out when our local storage units have sales. I may go shopping at the storage facility soon!

We have watched it before but I doubt we could do this as a spare job like some others have. Ever seen Pickers? They kind of do the same thing but at least their job looks fun and less stressing.
