Storage Wars Texas...Fall, 2011

I take it some of you watched 2 storage wars TX shows last night.  Did you see the 2nd show with the handicapped lady in a wheelchair?  did you see that old guy with the cowboy hat with overalls leaning to the lady in the chair? 

that guy is what I deal with in my town, I call him the $10 dollar man.  He bids me up on every frickin auction there is, nickel and diming when Im going in 50 to 100 dollar increment to shake him off. 

In the other thread, I was griping about him and some of you bashed me for it. 


anyways.    I watched the first 15min of the first episode! The show is so stupid and fake that I won't waste my time on that show anymore.  But you keep watching and fill us in! That way I can do something better for that 30 min time slot.  I would have more respect for A&E if the did a show called storage animals were different breds of animals bid on sheds! It would be better than that have a** show storage texas! What an insult the show is.

last night, i saw the 10 dollar man on storage wars and I had to look the auction up.  The auction that took place in River oaks was October 10th (something like that)   

he was on the show before I met him. 

coincidence. 

 

I could fall for a 7k lottery ticket tucked in between the seat cusions of the chair or couch before a 7k inkwell in that unit.

I must of missed a posting that was deleted by the mods.

bwd111,

if you were on the show, you wouldn't mind if we called you inbreds? 

that ll change your tune pretty fast if they came to you and said, we ll pay you to be on the show. 

so knock it off..  If you dont have anything positive to say about the show, then keep quiet.

Not all Texans are inbreds.   I travel all over the united states and I have seen people worse than Texans but I am not going to name names. 


bwd111 - take your bashing and your hate somewhere else.

I doubt the deletion scenario; perhaps post #20 above is the one in question. On the surface it looks like BWD just reposted (a quote), but if you look one line down from the first smiley face and go 10 words to the right BWD says something about farm animals.

My main complaint is not with the show's bidders per se (though some aspects are alarming), but rather with the human beings who are the producers of the show.  It just seems to me to be such an OBVIOUS (attempted) CLONE of the original show that it is insulting to the viewer.

Also, the details of the characterizations of each of the bidders is bothersome. Some producer glommed on to the idea that "yupp" had made its way into our lexicon SOOOO....we now have "Bring it!" and "Right here" as new possible catch phrases for the lookey-loos to shout at the next auction we attend locally.

Also, the very poor ways in which the lockers are set up has been mentioned by several people. I think Craig*** mentioned the very unlikely presence of a $7,000 inkwell in a lkr that had half a dozen pieces of rental furniture. If there had been 20 boxes in there too it would have been more realistic (but still fake).

Then there was the single cowboy hat in a six drawer chest to go along with the separately stored snake hat band and other snake items. Some producer or assistant didn't use too many brain cells there.

Just a show that begs for critical analysis all the way around, and the loopy bidders there are the easiest things to attack first. So this show definitely deserves 1/4 of a "Yee-Haw! on the popularity scale and that would be a limp "ye"  from me.

The Barry clone gets a Ms. PacMan cocktail table game..value about $1200. In 8 years of doing this I've seen three pinball machines come up...I got one of them.
