Sadly, it doesn't say what type of auction it was...

Eric Doran's staff laughed when they saw M&M's bags after a locksmith opened the safe Thursday. Then Doran started pouring the contents on the floor.

I'm still new to the storage auction game, and despite how many blogs, forum posts, and videos I've seen about famous and wealthy people just leaving their stuff behind, it still amazes me.

Check out the story from the NBC affiliate in Detroit about what soul legend Aretha Franklin left behind:

Good luck and hunting to all

Storage Treasures sent out an e-mail blast Wednesday night (Nov. 24th) that the new History Channel show with the Redneck Picker will debut on Sunday, November 27th at 9:00 p.m. EST.

It will be called "Real Deal," and claims to go beyond the buying of storage units at auction.

Here's a brief description included with the e-mail:

“REAL DEAL” is a brand new reality show that captures the pressure of the pursuit after you’ve found your treasures. It speaks to the collectors, the eBay entrepreneurs, the flea market go-getters, and garage sale risk-takers. The show spotlights the dramatic interaction between buyers and sellers and our very own friend and StorageTreasures.com affiliate, The Redneck Picker,* is one of the stars! Keep reading ‘cause we collaborated on a giveaway.

An item rich in history won’t necessarily make the owner richer. And since everybody is interested in making a profit, it will be interesting to see folks haggle over prices on pieces of history. The show premieres this Sunday, Nov. 27th at 9 p.m. ET on the History Channel, with a bonus episode airing on Monday, Nov. 28th at 11 p.m. ET.
