It looks like the Storage Wars cast is crumbling like a stale cookie. Barry is calling it quits. Check out the following article.

I dont recall where I saw it ,but They did a pilot game show with Barry as the host.  It is not hard to believe that the show has planted/paid for some of those lockers.Especially at the prices they are paying. And look at all of the custom vehicles that Berry shows up in, he must have a collection the size of Lenos

I think he borrows most of the cars. I think the chopped Cadillac, the Jaguar and maybe a motorcycle are his but the rest have to be props.

SO they've lost the chief agitator (Dave) and have yet to replace him (Ivy doesn't really have the pop  IMHO, and German Boy is only entertaining because I keep wondering how much skimpier his wife's outfits will get.)

Now they've lost the eccentric comic relief, and no the twins aren't gonna fill those shoes easily.

So the question becomes, what is the over/under on time frame after the show ends before the business gets "back to normal"?

It will never be normal again. We still have to wait for Auction Hunters, Storage Wars New York, Storage Hunters and Storage Wars Texas to get cancelled. And, even after cancellation, you still have to deal with reruns. My guess...many years.

My question...after all the shows are cancelled, what are we going to have to talk about?

After all the shows cancel, we’ll have lower cost units.  Maybe someday, I will find where everyone is getting their money from who are willing to give it away.

Pepole will still watch thou. All the producer need to do is plant exciting stuff in the units and the public will eat it up. It worked well for 4 other seasons. Look at the Wal-mart croud they eat up that duck dynasty show cause they are able to relate to that croud very,very well.

Yes, even though they can't spell crowd either.

I think Duck Dynasty does well because there are two big groups of people who like it..
a) Rednecks/swamp folk, or those like me who are essentially one generation removed from rednecks/swamp folk.
b) People who like to make fun of Rednecks and Swamp folk.

Combine those two groups and it's a surprisingly large audience.

And I disagree that they just need to salt up the lockers better.  The personalities of the people contributed a lot to the shows likability.  Just look at how lackluster the spin offs have been in comparison.

You almost cant blame Berry for jumping off of a sinking ship.
It sure didn't take long for greed to implode this group.

Dave wasn't happy with $750,000 a season,  Dan wants a piece of every other auction show

Its funny that we havnt heard from Darrell or Jarod and Brandy demanding as much as the others.
 It doesnt look like the demands they are making are paying off very well
at least Brandy got paid.
