Such a frustrating disappointment

Let's be realistic.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

... a core group of show bidders seemingly win 98% of all lockers. The tallying up of what is found is ludicrous! Whatever these people feel like saying stuff is worth. Rolls of T-paper I get $500 for those. Lately they stop adding up a locker as soon as something interesting pops out, with upwards of 90% of the rest of the unit not even looked at. This makes a lot of people suspect all the other stuff in the unit was a false front(200 boxes filled with air) However, I can remember when con man Barry allegedly bought a unit full of antiques and didn't go very far into the unit before he stopped appraising the value of stuff. But you could see a bunch of high end things he never bothered to mention.It just happened again in the most recent episode with Daryl Sheets winning a locker full of gun stuff. They appraised about 4 boxes of stuff and you could see there was another 75 boxes! and then they acted like nothing was in the unit at the end of the show in the final tally except for a trap.Is it faked? Most certainly. Are the appraisals legit? Most certainly not! They keep finding all this non antique stuff in used condition and then they go to some place that sort of deals with that item and they keep getting appraisals near the retail new price. It's ridiculous! On the same show a Re-pro coffee roaster was appraised for $500 that's literally hard to sell for $50. I thoroughly believe all these finds are "product placements" giving the show an excuse to go to showcase businesses that pay to be on the show! I'd like to point out something to viewers. There aren't big surprises in these storage auctions. Nobodies secretly driving a Maserati into one and the facility doesn't know its there! They have security cameras that they simply roll back when people default and then fast forward that particular camera. Small stuff in boxes, sure but not the big things they keep portraying.

I'll be honest with you. I really, really enjoyed this show. I thought, like Pawn Stars or other similar shows, this show was real. That is, the items found in the lockers were real. The on-camera interviews that the cast give? I think any astute person can tell a lot of that is scripted, and the "conflicts" between the various characters are scripted, as many reality shows do. But I thought the *finds* in the lockers were real.Given we now learn this hasn't been the case, through Dave Hester's lawsuit against the show and A&E, I feel severely cheated. If the producers wanted (or needed) to plant crap in lockers to be sure each episode had exciting things in it, then don't pretend these are real finds. Make up a different show. "Oddities in Beverly Hills" perhaps, where we travel to someone's home and pick through crap they put in their garage 30 years ago. Or whatever.This is REALLY sleazy of the "Storage Wars" producers, and this is REALLY sleazy of A&E. I think maybe there should be more lawsuits against this show, besides Hester's...

Awesome freaking show! The show is great and intriguing before you get to know the characters. Once you know the characters the show gets even better! They get to know each other and they start hating each other. Awesome. I could watch this show all day. I actually have. I personally like everyone except Mr. Hester. Although he definitely is the smartest of the bunch. It's awesome to see something that you would think doesn't costs a penny turn out to be something super expensive. Overall I'd say its a darn good show. Go into it with a positive attitude and I think you will thoroughly it's a show for all ages. 9/10 almost perfect but I think they might have to change up the lineup soon and get a new cast.
