Will be watching later tonight, lol, I cant believe he is going to stoop that low, saying a violin of any kind is worth a mill. Unless its dipped in gold, laced with diamonds and is from the 12th century, lol. But what are those odds. Damn Dave a dumbass.

Here's some dope on tonight's two shows.  I'm in the middle of the Unlocked at the moment.

*****

Barry gets a lkr for $350 with 3 ez-ups and 3 circus sideshow canvas sheets.

Jarrod gets the “wine box” locker for $1700…..gets silver and gold but not a winner.

Jarrod tweeks Dave and raises him 2 grand and Dave gets it for $8K…..car parts and a violin by Stradivarius ?

Darrell goes away without anything again…..

Two of the 4 lost money….reality TV !


Storage Wars….Unlocked !

The four bidders get together with Dotson and the executive producer of the show in the now shuttered Sahara casino in Las Vegas and ditch the dirt on the show and the personalities. You gotta watch this one whether your’re a “newbie” or a “pro”.  Good stuff.  ;D

About 40" in the exec producer says words to the effect .."..they don't realize you buy 10 or more lkrs to find something good." The guys interject and Darrell says, "...30, 40,50" and Brandi comments on all the dump runs!

Cool....I like the honesty here. The guys are earning points with me. I think the producers got a message some weeks ago that reality would be a good component of the show. The Auction Hunters doesn't compare...IMHO !  ;D

Well, we'll have to see some episodes of course, but comparisons are bound to be made between the original and the new series. I think any of us have favorite shows of whatever kind and we become "attached" to the people in them whether we "love" or "hate" those characters/actors. 

I like the CSI shows EXCEPT the one located in Miami....I don't like Caruso's character (or acting job) in that one; so I watch Las Vegas and New York versions. Kinda think I would watch all of the Storage War shows though unless they burn us out with overkill running the Miami and New York series as well as time goes by. I can imagine those last two locations COULD have some very interesting personalities. In the New York, New Jersey area there was a show about "scrappers" which I found fun to watch, but I think it only lasted one season.

I wonder why yall are saying SW Texas, Dallas is Northern Part of Texas. And yes you can tell the difference between people from south Texas, North Texas, and West Texas. Everything about the people are completely different from one region to the next. I am sure Travis can verify that.

jross....don't be too embarrased about this, but when I say SW Dallas, I mean "Storage Wars, Dallas"  ;)

Even I had the thought "southwest, Dallas" when I started using that abbreviation but even at that, Dallas is in the southwest portion of the U.S.A.

Interesting to hear that Texans can tell where each of them is from by dialects....makes sense, it's a big state.

That has to be the worst show I have ever watched well watched 15mins of it and turned the channel back and forth. The show is to be about buying units! Where and why would the make a show with Q and A's. You go to an auction you bid and hopefully win you load and unload and sell! Why make a one hour show on meet the people. VERY STUPID.

Actually, I think they did a good thing there, because any of the 'get rich quick' folks who watched it are going to realize (those with more than three functioning brain cells, anyway)that if you want to get rich quick, this is NOT the way to do it. 
   Yes, there are lockers out there that are worth some serious cash, but those are like finding hen's teeth. 
   This is a job for those of us who just like to dig through peoples stuff and see what is what.  It's gambling for people that suck at cards and dice.
   When Darryl made it clear that they buy thirty or more units a month, and the show only shows the big hits and misses, it should make it clear you better be willing to throw a lot of money and effort into this to make a buck.
   Barry was the only one who said he doesn't have an issue with the show and his schedule.  The rest all said they have to alter their schedules to film, because they all do this for a living, Barry doesn't.

I cant be sure but somehow I felt real genuine from the unlocked show, like toward the end when Mark came up, you really got the sense that everyone hated him. I kind of felt bad for him cause he thought they were all 'friends'.

Thought it was cool at the end that the texas guys mentioned their show ruining the buisness as well.

I loved the look Brandi gave everytime Dave opened his mouth, she looked like she wanted to slap him a few times.

Oh and by the way, since this has already been touched on, Im going to add my 2 cents. I like the idea as well that they put this one out. Puts a little more reality to it, which is a good thing. I dont however think it is going to change the amount of crowds we are dealing with though.

Also I do not think I am going to like the Dallas edition of SW. The people they picked for the lineup add to much of the "Texas" Cliche of a bunch of cowboys and what I consider "Redneck Mentality", no offense to anyone who may get offended at that quote. I will give it a few episodes, but if I still feel the same, I wont be watching it.

The texas and cowoy cliche is true.  They are far away from being what I would consider Rednecks....course we just got a glimpse.

I think they did this "Unlocked" show the way they did to follow in the footsteps of Deadliest Catch.  At the end of the season there they bring all the captains and do Q&A and highlights.

Hopefully this will show some poeple it's not all fun and games.  I've seriously not bid on a few lockers due to the fact they were so full of furniture and such and didn't have time to clean it out.

I'll agree partially on the furniture.  Unless I can verify that it is in good shape, I'm not really interested in it.  Reality is, the unit I bought had a ratty looking couch, and I took an axe to it so that it wouldn't take up as much room.  Same with the two dressers that were in it.

On furniture I usually dont deal with it unless its solid wood. I dont like couches since I usually end up getting the ones that are messed up, and its always on a side Icant see from the door. Particle board I cant even give away for free. So I stick to solid wood furniture. No matter the year.

The first time i bought a locker there was a hella nice dinning table but my idiot ass couldnt carry it so i didnt wrap it or anything. When i took it out the truck i scratched the thing to hell so i lost a good amount of money it woulda been worth

Particle board crap gets head of the line privileges on the ride to the dump. Can't stand that crap.  I won't buy a unit because I see furniture, unless, as you state, I can see that it is good stuff (wood) that I can refinish if needed.  I always look for different things as my focus.

That is whats great about running your own business. You can research all the "how to" resources, like this forum; but nothing is a better motivator then learning from your own mistakes that cost you money.

I am reminded of a qoute, and I am paraphrasing here.

"Your employee just made a huge mistake and cost your company $500,000. Are you going to fire him? Hell No!! It just cost me $500,000 to train him!"

Nope, most Texans are just Texans. There is not much difference until you get close to the border. Most of us say Yeeeep even when were not bidding on a unit. 8)

That was the highlight of the entire show, I just wish they would have expanded on that, but I guess that isn't good for ratings is it :o
