With the economy the way it is and people moving a lot more then they used to the storage units are having them more and more.
The auctioneer and his wife have been on TV before. Something tells me he pitched the show.
Mike from the Pickers show pitched his show for 4 years before he got on so there has to be a connection of the auctioneer and the channel I would say.
Storage sheds have become a huge business in America, they told how many there are across the country and it was amazing.
I can go to a storage auction at least once a week here in Ohio and sometimes two in a week easily.
Remember, they are not just selling 3-4 units at a time. That is for the 1 hour show.
Most of the auctions I attend have 20-50 units and we are there all day long in most cases.
In S. Calif. you can easily go to 2 or 3 in the same day, anywhere fom 1 20+ units. The show is edited down to 1 hr.
I've seen Dan Dotson ( Storage Wars auctioneer) auction off 24+ units within a few hrs. ( he was at 2 seperate auctons that day). In S. California storage facilities are everywhere. Some cities have literally dozens.
How much of this is staged? Watched last night someone picked up, I think it was a Miller Beer box. I noticed that "Miller" was taped over. At least let me think it's not staged.
I was at our church rummage sale once and a friend of mine bought a 49 star flag for $5. The guy was something of a history buff and a collector so I don't know what he did with it but I'd bet it would worth more than what he paid for it given its age and the fact the 49 star flag only lkasted for a year.
Am I the only one that think's Jarod's wife is WAAAAAAAY too hot for him? Way to settle girl
I'd like to have a drink with Darrell and Barry. They seem like good guys. Although as the night went on I'd probably get a bit tired of Darrell preaching about the "wow factor".
Dave...I'd like to punch that conceited pr**k right in his fat YUUUUUUUP mouth. Did you guys notice that he's the only one whoring out his business by dressing in his black on black on black store attire. Even his hat has the "YUUUUUUUUP" tagline sewn across the back...

I'm a chick, but yes, I think Brandi "settled". However, I do think she's always b*tchy. Every time you see her she's in a foul mood with a scowl on her face.
I don't watch the show religiously - only occasionally. I don't like Dave Hester either. The only one on the show I like is Barry Weiss - only because he's kinda weird and has some sweet rides.

If you were married to Jarod I bet you'd always be p***ed off with a scowl on your face too.
Good point--being married to Jared must be something of a pain. Brandi has more sense about picking good stuff for a good price. Jared gets caught up in all the macho hype about who will win the storage unit--no matter what the cost!

I dont think she settled at all. They are perfect for each other. They are both Inland Empire 909 types. Very trailer-y types.

I would never be married to a Jarrod type, to begin with.
