Storage Wars: Season 2, Episode 1: “Hang ‘Em High Desert.”
Victorville held a special place in Barry’s heart as it was the place of his very first auction.
Barry: I remember it well, mainly because I didn’t win anything.
Jarrod last visit here without much cash or a partner. He returned with a pocket full of cash and Brandi. Dave mentioned his competition was weak. Darrell stated his shenanigans and trash talk days were over. Yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it.
1st Storage Unit
Furniture covered in plastic, Bob Marley poster, guitar picks, beds, and dressers. Barry used his high powered spot light.
Liked what he saw and won at $1,100
Barry found a two guitar cases. One had a Gibson mini electric guitar iniside; the other a small acoustic guitar. He also found an amplifier.
Guitar expert appraised acoustic guitar at $1,500. Mirovex amplifier a few hundred, at best. Mini Gibson electric guitar however, estimated value at $4,000.
Barry: The (Bob Marley) poster was the first clue, the finger picks were the second clue. Like any good detective, I’ll finish the hunt.
2nd Storage Unit
Refrigerator, toys, pet crates, couches, fishing poles, dog kennel, bike, clocks, furniture, and what appeared to be the contents of an entire house. Dave Hester won at $2,750.
Hester sifted through his merchandise. Found an oil painting, refrigerator, grandfather clock, dresser, DVDs, dog cage, world globe, ottoman, sofa with loveseat, washer and dryer, and a child’s bike. Unique find was an antique pedal car.
Appraiser mentioned that the pedal car dated back to the 1950s. Though rare, market value low at $400-$500.
3rd Storage Unit
Chairs, Tupperware, plants, book cases, stereo equipment, trash cans, blue trunks, and boxes. Darrell won at $1,150.
He dug through his room. Retrieved dining room chairs, step ladder, golden rings, a wooden skull clock, and Tag and Seiko watches.
Skull clock appraised by a clock expert who stated if original, would sell for $2,000. Darrell however, had a knockoff. Valued at $150.
Darrell: With this watch right here, I just paid for the whole locker.
Jarrod did not win a storage unit but he did make a coin-toss bet with Darrell. He won $100. Better than nothing.
