I'm confused, you hate the shows but you keep refreshing topics about the shows and then create new topics about the shows. It seems you have a vested interest in keeping the TV shows on everyones mind. If you really hate the TV shows as much as you say then why don't you just let the threads die a natural death and stop starting new topics about them! 

Guess what, the popularity of the TV shows is fading, just shut up about it and they will go away. 

Thank you!

Yes 260 views one reply. But I will play along. As you know this is the worst rated season for SW since its been on the air. So who cares well America doesn't care according to the ratings. The show sucks its a total sell out show and people are buying into the fakeness of the show.What does worst rated season tell you? It tells you people didn't return after last season. The show is worst the the nastiest mattress you can find in a unit.

And yet, you can't stop talking about it.

Well the auction was in Toronto and turns out they were filming an episode of Baggage Battles.  Saw the odd antique couple from Storage Wars.

The good:

The show taping did not really affect the auction process much.  There were no re-takes like I heard about from the storage shows, and the auction pretty much went on as usual once you got past the fact that there were six cameras there.  There didn't seem to be any shenanigans or trickery going on.  In fact the auctioneer missed the casts bids a couple times. 

The bad:

I felt the prices were way too high.  Suit cases were going for $50-$200 each and back packs and small bags were going for $30+.
I went home empty handed.  I was tempted to get one just for the experience but I am an educated guesser, not a gambler.  Had the prices been more in line with what I thought would be reasonable, I would have given it a shot.

Also, the cast stuck out like a sore thumb.  We Canadians are very bland, not like these Hollywood types lol.

Going to my first unclaimed luggage auction.  Anyone been to one of  these?  Any tips?  what's a good price to pay for a bag?

Havn't subscribed but they do seem to have a large database.  I find things on there all the time that aren't on ebay's completed listings.  If you do a google search for something not so common, worthpoint will usually come up but they don't show you the price unless you subscribe.

my point is that it wasn't necessary and added no intrinsic value to your post. It only seemed as if you were trying to get a rise out of the crowd (no pun intended).

No intrinsic value was intended anywhere in my post.  You are in the wrong forum if you are looking for intrinsic value.  The purpose of the Storage Auction Stories forum is, and I quote, "We want to hear your craziest Storage Auction Stories! Whether it be crazy, scary, funny, sad we want to hear it!" 

I found this story to be crazy, funny and sad all at the same time.  Your comments are just sad.

Thanks all!
