Have no doubt that everything you saw on that show was fake/prearranged/bogus/meaningless.

Anyway, have a great Christmas, Richard!

Yep.. The entire show is scripted from start to finish. No different than professional wrestling.

hey look at it this way, if they keep buying super low maybe it would artificially drop the price when you try to buy for yourself?

Not sure, but that sounds like a rerun? Was it set in Michigan and found inside a huge old industrial type warehouse from an odd looking older fellow, who's intent was to do what he could to help rebuild his surrounding neighborhood?

I've really enjoyed watching this show over the years. I stopped watching Storage Wars when I read they were staging many of their lockers... :(

Yep, the guy used a front end loader to lift the "Bronco" as they called it, out of the weeds.
A good 2-3 year old episode.
