It's actually not a lot considering how much the show makes. It does however make a bit of a mockery of them scrambling to earn a few dollars in the programme.

I found an interesting blog online- which of course I can't now locate to add a link from real storage room buyers in the US. Blog was complaining that where they used to manage to keep their heads above water they are now inundated with newbies who think every locker is going to have something special in it.

The interesting thing though was that there were some insiders from the show (all of them including the various 'picker' ones as well) who said that they are all unhappy about some of the prices shown . They discussed the newspapers that Dave Hester found once from the day that Elvis died and which were valued at 90K. That price was arrived at based on a single newspaper sold on ebay for something like 15$ but did not take into account the fact that one newspaper might be worth that much but thousands of them rather devalue the market. Apparently he gave the bulk of them to the auctioneer who gives them away as freebies- and lists the occasional one on ebay. However the records still show that he once found $90k worth of newspapers...nonsense.

Same as the auctions I go to. Last month I watched as a husband and wife bid up to £85 a go for 'mixed' boxes from house clearances that would normally go for around £12-£18. They spent hundreds, many of the usual buyers deliberately started to run them up to waste their money (they got them up to nearly £40 on a box of glass ware the sort of stuff that I would take straight to the charity shop)
