Reality Shows about Storage Auctions / Re: Storage Auction TV Show Coming Soon on Spike!!
« on: December 01, 2010, 10:58:48 AM »
YOU ARE RIGHT ON .. this show is total BULL****!! And I strongly suspect it is Scripted and FAKED!
I watched for the second time the Nov 30th show where these two PHONIES find a $8k Schwinn vintage bicycle in one locker and then in another cheap buy, a '79 Fender Strat Custom Color and Blues deVille Fender Amp!! GIVE ME A BREAK! Would ANYONE abandon a storage locker with those highly collectablles in them?? Unless the owner was a Fence or the Thief and now in jail, maybe!
I am a Vintage Guitar/Amp collector, dealer and also renting to the movie/music video studio industry for some 20+ years. First I k nnow that Norm of Norms Vitage Guitar is the biggest "shark" in the business ... he'd ripoff his own mother to under pay for a classic valuable axe or amp. That "custom color" 79 Strat in 99.9% condition is going for $4k to $6k on the market (yeah, late '70's strats are no '60's collectables) but his offer of $2.1k was a joke and a rip-off, espwecially since that near mint '90's Blue deVille Amp was worth $300 - $400 on the market. Either these two show guys are MORONS for not researching the value (simple as Google '79 Strat Custom Color) or this was all STAGED! I think that Strat and Amp WERE PLANTED!! I also think the Vintage Bike was a plant too. I suspect that Norm's and the Vintage Bike dealer loaned those finds for the publicity!
This whole show has the SMELL OF FAKED and scripted!
