I’ve always assumed the show was rigged. I also thought I’d never want to have to get in a bidding contest when this was being taped.

Of course, I also think it hilarious how they show who won, half the time it seems based on what they say they will get for their own stuff, not what things actually sold for when they ended up in their stores.

I used to watch this show, mostly for Dave Hester, because he was hilarious. I didn’t really like the others, although Jarrod and Brandi are a pretty cool couple, working together on their business. I got to where I was always hoping they would do best, because I admired how they were trying to make a life for their family.

The rest were annoying, and I stopped watching when they brought the new guy on who had all the money and the sense of a snail.

I did like the excitement of finding cool stuff in lockers, of course in reality that almost never happens, which again made me think the show might have been rigged somehow.

If there really were that many great things in that many lockers, the locker owners would just hire a professional to come through the lockers and make the money for themselves, instead of the blind auction. Blind auction tells me that a vast majority are crap, so you are gambling on the occasional “win” and the house holds all the cards.

Like Dave Hester gloating over all the money he was going to make from a bunch of outdated computer equipment. Actually all computer equipment over about a year old is outdated and almost worthless.

Do you really think that the locker owners don't go through the stuff?

I want to assure you that they do! In most states they are required by law to assure that hazardous or unlawful material is not stored.

The storage company owners cannot do that. The auction process is established in law. The purpose is prevent the rental company from abusing the relationship with the tenants to gain possession of their property.
