I have watched that show twice. Those people seem kind of obsessed with this stuff.

I've also heard that the show is staged...

I don't think it's a good way to earn extra cash, most likely you'll end up with junk and you'd have wasted both your money and your time in sorting through the junk.  I also don't like the idea of going through other people's belongings.

I used to watch the show a few years ago. I have never been to one but it would be cool.

I haven’t, but I’ve been very tempted. I don’t like that you only have a few days to clean out the entire storage and then find a place to dump all the unwanted items. It just seems like too much work for a risky investment.

I would think that it's probably not a good way to make extra cash. I think it would probably be like gambling: you usually win a little and lose a lot. I wouldn't be interested in that anyway. I've got enough of a "storage" problem at home with all of my stuff accumulated over the years, LOL! :peace:

I and my son  have been to a few. One time we went and they sold everything out of the storage and a few days later we got letters that they had sold the wrong one and  would buy back the  items.  My son  had bought some prints or we though were prints by  R. C. Gorman well there the real thing and he was going to just let them have them back for what  he paid and they paid  him 4 time what he had spent.  Another time  he and my hubby went to  some more storage  auctions.  Hubby got tire of them trying to get rid of  a room of  clothes and just bid $5 for it and  they sold it too him. I was a little ticked it took trips in y station wagon to bring them home. Well I washed them all up. Took out what y grandson  could wear and then took them all to the battered women's  shelter they gave a  receipt for $500.00 worth of clothing. Great took it off of our taxes. Did I mention  I washed 16 loads of clothes and  about 2/3 were still new and had tags on them.

You would have to be very lucky to make any money this way.  The lockers where you can see good stuff go for a lot of money.

I have only watched Storage Wars maybe two or three times.  I would never spend my money on that type of thing. Based on my luck in the lottery, I would either get an empty one (or almost) or a bunch of junk.  I would rather just go out and buy a scratch-off!

I really don't watch storage wars. But its funny in how some people bid on these lockers thinking that they have something valuable and they really don't

I have a family member who buys them and supposedly makes a ton of money off of them. For me, it just seems like a waste of time.
