    We have a storage company , with a few unpaid units ( containers ) , trust me , the ones who vanish owing money do not have anything of value in there lol

    There was a news clip earlier this week about Storage Wars. Someone found $500,000 worth of pirate coins in a locker they paid $600 for



    Its amazing how they always find something of value in those units ;)

    I've came to the conclusion that most of the storage unit's must belong to deacesed people. Some of the units have so much valuable stuff inside them that it would be crazy not to pay the fee to get them back.

    I've never seen the programmes people are talking about here.

    But if anyone likes the idea of buying a storage container with unknown/vague contents, then just to say that it is possible to buy "orphaned" containers at the docks. The less paperwork/vaguer the description then the cheaper the price, but the higher the chance of a surprise (or shock) when you transport it away and open it! "Container roulette" :D

    They must have hundreds of hours of people finding carp that we never see :rotfl:

    They do sometimes show 20 people sorting through piles of stuff and shoving it straight into the bins and writing off the locker as a waste of $ 500.

    I do get a bit cross through with the wanton damage, especially when Barry gets going. He'll just throw still packed boxes to the floor just to get something he's seen at he back of the unit, You often hear a box smash as he throws it out the locker.

    All repeats though last night, ba'h
