This is one of the shows that I think is entirely scripted.  I wish it wasn't as the premise is interesting but there are far too many cues that make me doubt its authenticity.
There are only 10 types of people in the world:  those who understand binary, and those who don't.

At least this show is pretty original. I know they probably got the idea from *bleep* Stars or American Pickers but a least it's not a direct ripoff like Extreme *bleep* or Picker Sisters. What disgrace those  2 shows are.  :o :o

I've seen the show before, didn't meant to watch it but ended up getting stuck on it. It's kinda interesting to see what's behind those doors and how much money is spent/made.  :)

They edit it to show only the "prime" lockers and bidding wars. The regulars constantly get outbid and 90% of the lockers they win are usually filled with junk and they take a loss... it's the 1 outta 50 that pays that 20K profit that makes it worth the while. Also, the basic rule of you gotta have money to make money applies. As for the reason people let their lockers default... many things coulda happened. The owner could have died, been jailed, left the country, etc. It's not as glorious as the show makes it out to be and it's a gamblers life, but it is a legit way to make a living...  8)

I like watching it. But of course they show the good ones. But also make light of some of the ones that
don't work out so well !

I agree 100%.
