Well, I was in the Dallas area promoting the new website and I went to a obscure auction and low and behold, I'm in the middle of the cast & crew of Storage Wars Dallas. I think I was the only non cast/crew member there. Click here for the photos. http://storageauctionblog.com/?p=225

Hey, fate handed you a great opportunity. Wish I had been there. I would have done some pursuing of info.
My main question is still....is this in fact the production crew for A&E's show or some neer-do-well upstart?
Been a while since I read the original posts and articles about Storage Wars Dallas, so I may be out of the loop.
Looking forward to the day when we get to see some Dallas action in whatever form it may take. If Dallas, Miami, New York all play out in TRUE Storage Wars format it will be a sight to behold. One poster here is saying the ratings are going down for SW; if that is true the gamble to have 4 separate shows running might be a risky one.

I spoke with Natalie Knight who is a line producer for the show. I think she runs a company called Nat Knight Creative although I couldn't find any information on the company itself. On her business card, it says A&E / Storage Wars.
All I can say is that the general consensus of storage auction buyers in the Dallas area aren't too pleased with them filming there. They're really pissed off that the show is bringing out newcomers and that their area is going to be at the center of it all.
I was a professional storage auction buyer until these shows came out, believe me, I understand their frustration. I was also in real estate when the housing market collapsed. There is not much you can do about these things except step up your game & evolve.

They were really secretive. Cast members are in confidentiality agreements and their lips are sealed. I was really lucky to get the info and pictures that I did.

Cool inside scoop!

Darn you almost got to bid on lockers filled with dimonds and barrels of oil..HAHAHA guess they couldn't get the BMW 745I into a locker. im sure those who were suposed to setup the lkrs with goodies overslept and are now selling tacos on a street corner again.

So, one of the producers of Storage Wars left a message on my voice mail Friday afternoon. Hmmm, I wonder what that could be about. ::)

If they offer you a job jump on it (if it pays).
If they offer your a job and it doesn't pay....that's still a possible.
If they want you to delete your pictures....tell them nicely where they can go...looks like you were on public property when pics were taken, and even if not, it was out in the open somewhere and not like it was "confidential".
-
Yeah, I doubt it is about a job, but who knows.
The producer did ask me not to publish the photos when I spoke to her at the auction. I understand that A&E would prefer the cast to remain secret until they unveil them on their website, but that is unrealistic. They have an incredibly popular show and the general public has an interest in who the new cast members are. They are taping the show at public auctions and it was just a matter of time before someone else snapped the photos. And I'm sure some photos better than mine will surface soon.
Honestly, I make advertising revenue from the hits generated from these photos, but the main reason I posted them is because I thought that the readers of my blog and this forum would like to see them. The only way I would remove the photos is if they offered me something that was more lucrative. Example: Like plugging my Dallas website on the show or offering some cash. But I don't see either of those things happening.
-
:D
Well, I totally pulled into that auction by accident. Originally, I was just taking photos because my wife would have never believed me. I didn't even think about posting them on the blog until the producer came up to me.
Stalking requires energy. I prefer a soft bed, a remote control, a soda & sandwich and an episode of Storage Wars as opposed to watching it in person. :P
-
it takes energy to fallow them after they went to lunch that day. please post the story 100% not just you version of it. im sure you be at a few more auction there at. you live in Houston. so yeah i can see how you being in Dallas at an auction that was canceled could happen. your only live 4 1/2 hours away from the DFW.
What is YOUR version of it, Ronin? And if you can't share, why not tell someone and then let THEM share. I doubt if any agreement you have with the producers would be broached that way....IF you have an agreement with them.
Edit: added the word Ronin in the first sentence of my post as TCLane thought I was talking to HIM (tclane) and not the person I quoted Ronin. Clear as mud, HUH ?
-
HUH?
Okay, I see someone forgot to take their medication. If you had read the article on my blog instead of just looking at the pictures, you would know that I was in Dallas on Tuesday promoting my new Dallas website. I went to a Public Storage auction first, then I drove across town to a auction that I didn't know was cancelled. My cell phone went dead otherwise I would have called the storage facility.
I'm not quite sure what you are getting at? Did I ever say anything about an agreement with a producer? I just said a producer asked me not to publish the photos. I never agreed not to.
And how do you know where I live...are you stalking me? :o

You're nipping at the wrong heels TC. My post was directed at the person I directly quoted in my post...i.e. Ronin.
If you had followed all HIS posts about SW you would have seen he purports to have some connection to the current tapings, but he's not disclosing anything; that's why I asked for YOUR take on the proceedings...Ronin's, not YOURS.
Get it? (yes, I did read your blog, that's how I knew to make my earlier comments in this thread.
-
UMM...okay.
I was talking to Ronin too. Not you MM.
I think he was attempting sarcasm when he said "you live in Houston. so yeah i can see how you being in Dallas at an auction that was canceled could happen."
Hence the "How do you know where I live...are you stalking me?"

Yes, that makes sense but I'M the one who commented on the "producer/agreement" comment...maybe you were addressing BOTH of us, or MAYBE everyone's medication was taken at the wrong time !
Clarity is working its way to the top.

Can You Guys share some of YOUR Left Coast Med's ?
Bandit

I see, I should have made it more clear who I was talking to. The first paragraph was directed at Ronin.
The middle sentences were to MM. Your edit cleared things up.
The last line was directed at Ronin.
Whew...This much confusion in writing...can you imagine if we were actually having a conversation. ;D

You know, the three years I lived on the left coast, I never needed any meds. I guess that's what clean California living will do to you. 8)

I just received a really good comment from a buyer in the Dallas area who was at a taping herself. Check it out http://storageauctionblog.com/?p=225#comments

So, it's been two weeks now, what was the nature of the call ?
-
Thanks for the pictures!
-

Well, I think the nature of the call was pretty obvious. I sent her an email asking her how I could be of assistance; however, I haven't received a response. Maybe she was just trying to get a free copy of the Dallas auction list. LOL ::)

One of the extras on Storage Wars: Dallas just provided some inside information. http://storageauctionblog.com

And with all the new people starting this auction buying makes me wonder why I ask why do they want to pay retail for whats in the units? The reason we all buy is to make money and get a great deal,but you can't make money paying retail. PEOPLE STOP PAYING RETAIL!THE POINT ISN'T TO SPEND ALL YOUR MONEY .Its our job to make you spend all your money.lol
-
Can I get some clarification? You state that the auction was cancelled, but they were filming there. Strange. Are they simply buying all the units up, cancelling the public auction, so they can film with their cast and extras instead, and if so, is that even legal to do?
If it's supposed to be a public storage unit auction, one would think they'd have to leave it open to the general public.

Yee-Haw .... see the link below for Storage Wars Unlocked shown on 8/31/2011 with actual footage of Dallas episode and the Dallas guy sitting around a table with LA buyers, exec producer and Dotson ! ;D

I believe there were only 3 units listed in the public notice and apparently every paid up last minute so the the auction was canceled. Everyone was just hanging out. They were doing some interviews and some shots of the cast leaving the facility. I don't believe they're running some kind of scam but I do believe that they do overpay just to get a unit when they need to.
