    I'm a fan of the show. In one, they found a bunch of Pokémon & MTG cards and on another a bunch of original Garbage Pale Kids. I had wondered what those might grade at because they had been kept well. They have also found a large cache of comics and another with hundreds of collectable Nintendo games.

    I actively collect Kirby Puckett. I have collections of Michael Jordan, Emmitt Smith, Roberto Clemente, Dwight Gooden, Tom Seaver, Errict Rhett and Evan Longoria.

    as someone who has attended hundreds of these auctions, I can tell you that this kind of stuff happens less than 1% of the time, and that chances are everything they find of value is staged for the ratings of the show. I wouldn't be surprised if they got these cards from a shop (before being sent to psa) and asked to use them as props.

    I hear this all the time from people who supposedly are in the know. I have no problem whatsoever believing that to be the case and would assume it to be even without experienced storage bidders chiming in. Having said that, I just don't see the viable economic model in bidding on storage units and trying to resell, at least based on the all of the episodes of Storage Wars (as well as Auction Hunters) I've seen (which is almost all of them).

    They seem to tab up the retail value of what they find and aside from some home run lockers (which have been very few), the totality of their winnings don't even seem to come close to double what they paid. And then there is all the time and aggravation in clearing the lockers and moving the contents. And THEN, you have to wait forever in many cases for a lot of that junk to be bought. So, what am I missing here?

    you hit the nail on the head. these auctions are made for flea market folk or people with thrift shops that need inventory and have the ability to hang on to something for a while. you rarely get anything that you can turn for a quick profit. the folks that do this on a regular basis (not me) have told me multiple times they do it for the volume of stuff that they can get for cheap and use it to fill their shelves.

    one more point worth nothing....in all the auctions i have been to, one went for over 2k. the avergae is between 50-500 dollars. i large range, but a far cry from the supposed thousands of dollars spent by the actors..uh i mean the regulars on TV.
