Storage Wars: Goodbye, Barry Weiss

Storage Wars: Season 4, Episode 22: “Super Bros. Shuffle.”

Goodbye, Barry Weiss.

No speeches. No farewells. No tears. But Barry almost had a heart attack. I’ll get to that.

This episode was the season finale for season four. Indicators were there that this would be Barry’s last episode. So this blog, it’s all about Barry.

He drove to the auction in his Jetson automobile.

Barry: The most amazing thing about it is, there’s still a surprise around every corner.

Once at the auction Barry kissed Laura Dotson and hugged Dan Dotson. He’s never done that before. Yep, it’s the end.

1^st Storage Unit
Garage type stuff. Freezer, weed wacker, golf clubs, fishing equipment, small flat screen TV, washing machine, and boxes. Bids uber fast up to over $900.

Barry: Wow. This is a runaway train.

Darrell won at $950. Darrell and Brandon dug through the locker. Xbox console, float tube, sleeping cots, box full of expensive light bulbs, beer keg, and Mario Bros. collectibles.

First was a Super Mario 2 board game, very rare, and in excellent condition. Valued at $700. Also a leather Nintendo case full of dioramas valued at $1,000.

2^nd Storage Unit
New or slightly used items. Lawn mower, bicycles, generator, sinks, outdoor heater, suitcase, scooter, and loads of stuff.

Barry: I don’t see a lot of mystery in this unit, but if I saw it,it wouldn’t be a mystery.

Everyone wanted it but Jarrod won at $2,300. And yes, items were mostly new. Dishwasher still in the box. Like new bowling balls. Wall art, hand-made chess board with pieces, table, flat screen TV, tea set, and a Coca-Cola collectible.

Collectible called the four seasons to show customers at a store that you could drink Coke year round. It’s a reproduction valued at about $500.

3^rd Storage Unit
Old tanning table, tons of wooden chairs, two pianos, two bbq pits, roll-top desk, and much, much more.

Barry: Last unit of the day and it’s got that certain “je ne sais quoi”. You know I’ve got to own it.

That he did at $2,450. Lots of decent furniture and lots of soiled sofas (ugh). Barry found plastic pieces to a shuffle board court including the two sticks.

Appraiser needed to see if all the pieces were intact before he could give an appraisal. Barry enlisted his dream team which arrived in a crazy-long limo. Team included every sidekick Barry brought to auction during season four.

Jerad, The Kung Pao Cowboy, Crafty Adam, Accountant, Pyschics, Charles Phoenix, Kingsley, Praline King Kenny, and the two Auction Angels.

Dream team connected each piece and voilà, a complete shuffle board court set with pucks and sticks. Valued at $1,600.

Barry: Old Barry just slid into the black.

Barry made a bet with his dream team that everyone would get $100 if he shuffled the puck into the “10” slot. Did he? Wait for it… wait… whoa, disc stopped dead on the 10 slot. Everyone gets $100 and now Barry’s back in the red, as usual.

Barry: Only I would bet against myself and win.

Profit Scorecard:

Darrell Sheets: $2,095
Jarrod Schulz & Brandi Passante: $210
Ivy Calvin: $0
Barry Weiss: loss – $1,070

At the end credits Barry was unable to open the door to his locker. After a few tries he finally opened the door. Inside were his cast mates who almost gave the poor guy a heart attack.

Barry: You (bleeps)!

Dotsons, Darrell, Brandon, Brandi and Jarrod were there to say their last goodbye, though in the form of scaring Barry half-to-death.

We will miss you. You were the best!

Goodbye, Barry Weiss.
