I ran into the Storage Wars crew Jan 11. They were at that same facility in Montebello California, where I saw them last year. About half the lockers had already been sold when I arrived.

No Dave Hester, but they brought Mark Balelo back. Tweedle-dee-dee, tweedle-dee-dum. Barry was hanging out with a Chinese guy, who was dressed in red with a matching cowboy hat and very long (approx 20 inches) pointy shoes flecked with small mirrors. Five of the lockers were from some furniture store that had closed. Barry bought the one with paintings and mirrors. Brandi and Jarrod got the other four. I bid to $3500 on one of them, but didn't get it.

The last locker they shot probably won't appear on the show, because I bought it. There was good quality used furniture visible, what appeared to be auditorium speakers and quite a stack of white file folder boxes. When Dan started the bidding, I rolled a pair of 10 inch white cardboard dice on the pavement.  Box cars came up, so I shouted, "You have $1200". Dan asked, "Is that your bid?" I replied, "Yes, thats my bid". Dan tried for $1300, then $1250 and finally $1225. No one else bid.

Man, You did'nt get run up by Mark Balelo? That guy drops some serious cash! Or is that just for the TV cameras??

Hey Phil, lets meet up and do it!

I mean lets meet in person and attend this auction caravan together. 

Never get done in one day in my area! The most i've seen done in one day around here is 90. They started at 9am & ended at 5pm, only two locations so we only had to pick up and travel once. At the second location they started opening up 5 units at a time to bid on to get through it.

Did I here right in the last episode that the girls were bringing the most money they have had to the auction that day, and it was $1500? ($750 a piece) and they were gonna really compete with the big boys??!!!   

Can they just please fly in that Mark character from LA who carries the purse with wads of cash, his character would be much more fitting for Storage Wars New York.

They should have cast Courtney and Candy for Storage Wars Des Moines, Iowa!!   

By the way, that little one-eyed dog does nothing to add flavor or character or a story line to the two guys from Jersey. Just leave that little rat home! He's neither cute, nor charasmatic, nor interesting. It's Storage Wars New York, they should be carrying a 15 foot python around their neck or Pit Bulls on chains or something!

Never considered all the money I have saved in doggie chew toys by just giving the dog random stuffed animals to play with out of the units. Another fringe benefit of storage auctions! 

my observations on the shore thing episode

ham radio looks like a plant  so does the rolex

Absolutely! Someones gonna leave a brand new $1000 ham radio in a tote with a stuffed animal, plastic toy parts, covered with a dirty seat cushion??! Riiiggghhhttt!!

They make those ugly things not to far from me, but I can only think of about 2 I have found in units and they were both ragged/moldy so right to garbage.
