Jarod and Brandy were never actually married. Nabila who was on the show about 20 times actually bought Paris Hilton's locker and was sued by Hilton because in the locker was Paris' confidential medical records which Nabila sold to a gossip site.
Carousel horses are actually highly collectible and very expensive. There are some fanatic collections out there, it’s niche but not as niche as you would imagine.
I was going to comment the same thing, I love carousel horses and I've seen the prices on them, those things go for crazy money, especially older ones because they were all hand carved as opposed to what they're made out of nowadays

@@toomany_bones let me put it this way... you should be wondering whats wrong with a brand if they need to resort to working with influencers. if you ever pay attention to which companies use influencer marketing, youll notice a trend of each one slowly being exposed for issues in the company. why do you think nobody is sponsored by those companies that you used to hear of as sponsoring every single yter? it should make you raise an eyebrow if there is only 1 company within an industry using influencers.

I mean to be fair the Undertaker was involved at the highest levels of acting and scripting for WWF and WWE for like 15 to 20 years. So I'd expect him to have at least some idea of what the collectables are worth, he probably MADE a good chunk of what they are worth. They actually did have a show where WWE legends went back and tracked down original props from their most famous moments and then sold them for charity, pretty cool really... 👍

My family are actually auctioneers and have their own auction company, sometimes go to storage unit auctions for extra inventory to pad out auctions if consignors don’t bring much. Storage Wars though? Fake as hell. Hilariously so. My grandpa loves the show though because of it. Watches it all the time, laughing about the obvious plants and inconsistencies.
I don't know if I'm just reading this wrong, but what do you mean you "go to an auction for extra inventory to pad out auctions." Like, I just can't grasp it. Maybe I don't know the lingo
Can explain. So, these auctions for storage units. There’s also just independent auction companies out there that don’t have diddly to do with storage units, like my family. Say you have a garage full of stuff you want gone, or a relative died and left a whole house of stuff behind. People call my folks, and we agree to auction it for them, and we keep a percentage of the money for our time and work sorting and selling it all. We run auctions weekly, they used to be in person back in the day, “live auctions,” but now it’s mostly online. What you see in the show is a live auction, with the funny fast talking and all that and people yelling “YuuuuUuuuuUUUUpppPp!” Suppose one week we don’t really have enough stuff to do a good, money-making auction. Well that’s bad for us and our clients both, gotta have enough stuff to attract the customers. So we can just add stuff to the sale ourselves, nothing wrong with that, but where do you get lots and lots of lots of random stuff? Closed out storage units mostly. In Texas, auctioneers have to be licensed and certified and they all have to take classes and tests together and stuff to stay in business, learning the laws about what can and can’t be sold, so typically all the auctioneers in a given area know each other whether they do estates or consignments or storage units or whatever. So my grandpa and parents will go down to the storage unit closeouts on weekends and bid if there’s anything that looks good. It kinda is like on the show. The owners of the storage units that people abandoned for whatever reason open the door, you’re not allowed to dig inside until it’s sold but you can scope out what seems to be in it and if it seems worthwhile you bid on it and take the gamble. There really is a certain element of “You never know what you’re gonna find!” but not quite like on the show, in a much more mundane way. You may bid a few thousand on a unit full of gun cases that turn out to all be empty. You may bid a hundred or so on a unit with a bunch of power tools buried under trash. Never know really. Good way to maintain a stock of random valuable crap for an auction company though.
@@arbington Right right, so what I'm getting is that basically the auction might be for a bunch of storage units, but if there's only a few units, you'll also just auction off a bunch of random items too?? That's pretty cool. Thanks for the run down btw, I was never really super into this show like a lot of people were, but it's cool to have a bit of insite from someone who knows the business
Close! We just do consignments and estates. So think, like, a garage sale that you’re paying someone else to do for you. But instead of garage sale style, we auction it. When we did live ones it was a big affair, we had a guy who would come out and sell barbecue to the customers, was fun. Most customers were old folks, so it was also obviously their way of getting out and socializing, for some of them anyway. Spend a weekend eating brisket and chatting about the price of antiques with fellow elders, seems fun at that age. We’d set up a bunch of folding tables, and on the tables you have little boxes and flats full of items, all sorted out, going down the line auctioning box after box. Getting more extra stuff from storage units, that just comes in if we don’t really have enough stuff from consignors or the estate to fill the tables. Most of the money goes to the people we sell for, actually our family’s “edge” in the business came from taking a bit less cut of the money than average. One of the other benefits of getting inventory from units is, since we bought it and it’s ours, we also get to keep the full proceeds on those items. I could probably ramble about it all for hours though, and I’m not even actually part of the family business, just grew up around it. It’s kinda interesting. As one of their instructors for the licensing once said, you never know what you’re gonna be selling next, and there’s job security forever so long as people keep needing to sell their extra junk. You probably have a local auction company wherever you are, and if it interests you, maybe register to bid sometime. It’s kinda fun and one of the best parts of it in my opinion is the customer is always paying what they think it’s worth, so it’s nigh impossible to be scammed so long as you bear in mind it’s all secondhand and it’s being sold as is where is with no guarantees. It’s an interesting business for sure.
20:05 Hi, I’m a carousel-obsessed girl. Historically speaking, carousels were (and still are) very popular with the upper class due to their rarity. It’s very hard to find a wooden, hand-painted carousel horse nowadays because most of them are spray-painted and made of fiberglass. Carousel horse typically sell for a couple thousand on the market. Most people use them for decoration.
@@devindodge6189 there is definitely demand for modern ones- actually, a lot of artists will be personally commissioned to create decor pieces! Depending on the classification (county fair, Philadelphia, Coney Island) and year, some can be more expensive than others. Vintage carousel horses are often donated to museums for the sake of preservation but I’ve met rich folk with vintage horses on display.
I'm an EBay reseller.....and I'll tell you this...there is a buyer for everything. My wife and I have sold the most fucked up shit on Ebay and turned a good profit on it too. Weirdest thing we sold was a old shot glass that had a drawing of an old man grabbing the ass of the waitress and laughing (very un PC today) But, we listed it after finding it at a yard sale for .50 cents. We sold it for 10 bucks and the person who bought it sent my wife an email telling her how happy she was to find that shot glass. Apparently, her dad had a bar that had burned down shortly after he passed away...anyways, his fav shot glass at this bar was that exact shot glass she bought from us. Her plans were to rebuild the bar, and have that shot glass sit behind the bar on the shelf under a picture of her dad. It was kinda sweet....but, again..its the little weird things that mean the most to people.
I can see dumb stuff being valuble for sentimental reason I have a shotgun I inherited from my dad. It's an awful shotgun was very cheap very basic single action. Recoil will obliterate your shoulder. Company that makes them went out of bussiness years ago. They are so god awful they don't have value even tho company is defunct but for w.e my dad loved it so I don't wanna getbrid of it
It's incredible how this show was built on "look how much lost treasure you can find in this storage lockers" and then in reality it's just "the person who owned this locker either died or is at the lowest place of their life and here's a locker of just random useless shit that they didn't want to get rid of" and it's doubly so that they pretend that you can make a living on this shit.
Yeah, I know 2 people who make pretty good money by taking possession of the storage units of people who couldn't afford to pay the rent any longer, and it's really predatory, because they're essentially grave robbing while these people are still alive. It really sucks how much money can be made due to people being in poverty/unable to even afford the few things they have in their lives
That Hazeltine 1000 is useless without an actual mainframe to interface with. Also, it should come as no surprise but when these things were first being sold, they were about $1000 each. I think most Hazeltines I've seen go for about $500 if they're in working condition, but only the most diehard of retro computer guys would probably buy one of these. The only thing Dave had of value in that storage locker that he could profit off of were the car parts, and given the terminal being in the same locker, assuming it's not a plant, I get the feeling Dave bought part of an out of business mechanic's shop.
You don't need a mainframe to use a terminal. I have an old Zenith terminal from the early 70s that I hooked up to a Sun Sparcstation computer running Solaris. It's such a cool thing to be able to get on the internet with a terminal that's older than I am. I still wouldn't pay more than like $100 for that Hazeltine though.
Gold in a computer also isn't as rare and fancy as they're making it sound. Retro computers are fun but they're much more plentiful, less unique and less artistic than the carousel horse.
My dad was obsessed with this show while my mom would walk out of the room everytime it was on cause one time they sold a storage unit my family owned without telling us and it was full of items that belonged to my deceased grandpa including his music that was one of a kind 💀 so yeah they might just be selling special things to people that no one would even know the value
@@XxadrenalineangelxXrules vary from state to state but all of them allow unit contents to be sold after a certain amount of time, sometimes surprisingly quickly. I had a friend who almost had his unit auctioned off after his bank issued him a new credit card (identity theft concerns or something) he forgot he had that card as his auto pay method for the unit and it stopped working after the expiration date changed. Just happened to go in one day before they were going to sell it off. He had like 20k worth of guns and accessories in there and almost lost it all over less than 300$ of unpaid fees.
Honestly same. I used to find this show very interesting until I had to adult and found myself in a very toxic relationship that resulted in 4 storage lockers worth of my whole life in 4 different states. Needless to say none of them survived and I sadly had to turn over all of my stuff to auction. Nobody wants to lose their stuff for somebody else to make a profit

@@maxbracegirdle9990 jeez okay spit on the little cuties while they're down why don't you. I mean they aren't in my top 3 either but they certainly aren't "lame".
this makes sense because my brother and i came back to a random episode on netflix after not seeing it for years and my brother was like "so the checklist is jarod won't listen to his wife, darrell walks away or makes next to no money, barry will buy some 'weird' specialized thing and dave will have the average success" and literally all of that happened
For selling items (13:44), almost all the characters on the show have their own thrift/vintage/antique shops where they effectively use the lockers as a way to get new inventory. Not sure how much of that is legit, but at some point in the show you see each character go back to their respective stores, so it seemed pretty legit to me lol
Mine’s the kiwi bird. Arriving in in New Zealand 50million years ago as an offshoot of the Madagascar elephant bird, it evolved to become today’s small flightless nocturnal hunter (one of only 3% of birds that are nocturnal) in about 30million years. The splitting of the north and South Islands 3.5million years ago, along with the multiple glaciers found in NZ helped create a few different species from there, including the brown, and two types of spotted kiwis.
@stmsin no it's just poetic it's like you'd expect him to idk have a mural on a not run down building, the fact that's where it is is artistically beautiful
Carousel horses and other animals actually sell for alot. Their price point usually depends on date, animal, and if they are hand-carved. There's actually a National Carousel Association and I believe everyone in it meets once a year.
@tjneyland Yes. The most expensive carasol horse that I could find went for $250,000. That was not the asking price, to clarify; that is how much was paid for it. Edit to clarify that this was definitely on the extreme high end, but 2500 is not even a little unheard of. These horses get bought all the time for 1500 to 5000 for good quality ones. Bear in mind that they used to be handcarved and, even on one carasol, each horse was often unique.
My uncle recently passed away and these kinda shows were his favorite to just kill time with. Thank you for making me remember one of my favorite people ever with a goofy video ❤
The worst part of Storage Wars is that the average person can go out and buy a locker, expecting treasure, but mostly getting random crap. Not only are they out money, but resale shops, who used to be able to get a locker with random stuff for cheap are now bidding against these people, driving the price up and cutting into profits
My dad used to do this for a living the auctions them selfs where real and you could actually show up to them when they did the vegas episode me and my dad saw the locals that we knew on TV (it was only brief though) my dad was supposed to show up but then decided not to when he went to the next auction everybody was talking about the show.
@@tfordham13you have people paying out the nose for absolute garbage, trying to pawn it off online to make money, while an actual business owner, with a store and the ability to sell used items at low prices is trying to pay a reasonable price so they can sell things to customers at a low price gets the shaft.
i used to work almost exclusively with vintage/expensive items, and i can GUARANTEE YOU that even in an industry where antiques and other items are hand picked and fact/price checked as high quality... none of this stuff normal to find lmfao. the most expensive things you could convincingly come across in those storage units is jewelry. you would not BELIEVE the amount of people that basically throw away vintage pieces or solid gold (got a 50 gram gold necklace in where i worked and it sold for almost three thousand dollars). tbh there is something to be said for vintage tech though. i managed to snag a sony tape-to-tape recorder that usually goes for 300-2000 dollars, but like andy said, almost no one is gonna buy these things for full price (i bought it for 30 LMFAO)
i fkn love chickens idk something about them they just look so dumb but also rly cute and cuddly the constant side eyeing also gives them this sassy judgemental attitude that i think is rly fun
I like chickens although not completely flightless as they do have to ability to get themselves up in the air and more or less glide through the air, I've seen one "fly" down a hill before and it's quite funny as they are such silly little guys
My favourite flightlest bird is the Kakapo- an extremely endangered species in New Zealand who is currently only found on one island and some zoos. They are the largest and only flughtless parrot. The reason they became endangered is from humans bringing rats and cats on their ships, which hunted the Kakapos. Kakapos are nocturnal and rely on the "freeze" response since, before humans brought over rats and cats, the Kakapos' predators relied on eyesight and not scent. Since rats and cats rely on scent as well as movement, Kakapo became easy prey for them. Now they are on an island that has no natural predators so that their numbers can regrow! Also, their mating season occurs whenever a certain tree bears fruit- during which, that fruit is all they eat. To attract mates, male Kakapos will dig out a circle in dirt and clear it of debris, sit in the center, and make a loud "booming" sound. The loudest males will attract mates. Kakapos feathers are extremely soft since they are not used for flight (although they do glide, much like chickens do) and they are said to have a sweet smell to them.
7:11 Nah as a dude even i'm lowkey highkey glad you clarified 😅 Glasses guy deadass told miss ma'am to shut up with his debit card necked full chest to her face at an auction that SHE'S running on NATIONAL television....I was flabbergasted.... taken aback .... and she DIDN'T kick him where his balls USED to be????

As someone who worked at a zoo for several years and dealt with operating a carousel, we talked to carousel experts quite a lot. Especially since we still had a fully wooden, hand carved carousel (most carousels are not made with fiberglass since they're lighter weight). So they're actually very important for attractions and theme parks! Also my favorite flightless birds are Kiwis. They can run at 12+mph.
Oh man, I can tell my Vyvanse is wearing off because I had to rewind the rant over Fortnite section 3 times to try and parse what he was saying, only to come to the end with only the thought, "I wonder if there's a Donatello skin... Oh fuck you for calling out my age, I just turned 35 less than a week ago, sheesh." And I should probably rewind again and turn away from the screen this time, but I am just going to pretend I processed everything and move on.
Hi, I'm a fellow 35 yr old whose Vyvanse is also currently wearing off and who also barely grasped what he was saying during the Fortnite part. I rewound it far too many times to try and catch everything he was saying, and was like wtf why am I like this? I'm just so glad I'm not alone 😅
never expected a law firm sponsor on a storage wars commentary video. keep up the good work, this stuff is interesting to hear you ramble about 👍 i dont have a favourite flightless bird but my friend really loves penguins so i associate them with her. kiwis make a really messed up call. my favourite bird despite being flightful is the bearded vulture :)
Favorite flightless bird… gotta give it to the terror birds, flightless and extinct predatory birds. These things were big, fast, and had strong legs and sharp beaks. Shame they went extinct, I bet they were a sight to behold on a hunt- though they’d be terrifying to face. If we’re talking birds still alive, I love the cassowary. Practically a living dinosaur. Their large talons are like daggers and they can slice you open if they decide they don’t like you. Their call is deep and seems like a window into the past, like we’re hearing what dinosaurs might’ve sounded like… and their colors are stunning on top of that.
@@doogal_ the kiwi is an adorable creature that unfortunately knows nothing but pain. There is little to no joy in a wild kiwi's life and it is a cruel joke that they survived when the haast's eagle didn't. However, I do recognise that I overreacted somewhat and apologise. Fun fact: kiwis have whiskers around their beak like a rodent!
I only ever have memories of watching this show at my many times at psych wards. And it made me that much more depressed to watch this show, yet i continued to watch...
Favorite flightless bird? Penguin. They have the most fun lives in the snow. Sliding on their bellies or the little babies waddling. Gah. They're just so cute.
Even though it's always been painfully obvious how scripted it is, Storage Wars is SUCH a guilty pleasure to watch. I feel like such an old lady watching it but its SO GOOD
Storage unit auctioneers aren't really a thing that would be a full time job. Every one I have attended the auction is run by somebody that works at the storage unit place. When they get 3-5 units that payments have lapsed, they hold an auction to clear them out. It's just part of the job.
I mean why wouldn't it be rigged, having real random garage just isn't entertaining enough for the viewers since most lets be real only contain garbage
Having not thought of this show in like a decade, I remember thinking when I was younger that Brandi and Jerrod was basically just an endless domestic dispute in progress. Like the show was just like 'what if we displayed the most dysfunctional people possible'
Darrell lives in my town now. I’ve met him many times at the store I work at and he’s always been super nice and genuine. Would definitely give you an awesome boat ride. Best part is that we live in a lake town.
OH MY GOD WIRJ my favorite flightless bird is called the Weka!!! they kinda look like kiwis, and they're incredible thieves!! they also really like gardening, and poop their body weight every day :)
I binged watch this era of Storage Wars so much in my early teens. This, Pawn Stars, the picker show and the swamp show just played on a loop on History Channel 😂
Hey Andy, just a protip. When visiting sites that existed a long time ago, make sure to check out its archived version like from the Wayback Machine. It turns out that Darrell just sells stuff from the storages on his site back then. Hope this helps you find out interesting stuff in your future videos.
I always thought Brandy and Jared's "strategy" made no sense , they would always go in acting like "we gotta win one today or out business is toast" and then overpay. I guess that's just their character, but it always amused me. Meanwhile Dave's character is being an asshole, but he also seemed like he had a good strategy with the auctions he did win, where he'd look for furniture and appliances he could polish up and sell at his store. Everyone else was always looking for some kind of wild home run,
The fact that they weren’t allowed to look through it before buying it always drove me crazy. Who just randomly made up that rule? Can you imagine if you weren’t allowed to look at other things before dropping hundreds of dollars on them?
Before the show “hundreds of dollars” wasn’t spent, you’d get a locker 90% full of junk for $50, spend a whole day separating and junking or scrapping what you couldn’t sell, and have maybe a couple dozen items you could sell at the flea markets or a shop for a little bit of money
Ivy, Darrel, Rene, and back then Brandi/Jarrod and Dave all ran thrift stores.Most of them are shown. Smaller items went online (Mary still sells.) Not defending the fakeness but when they'd say like "$15 box of DVDs " they were putting it in a store. Dave and Darrel also did swap meets - or so they said in an argument right after Dave got back. Sometime the value translated into knowing someone to buy it. Barry flipped a locker with nothing but motorcycle parts. Darrel did the same with a couple hundred new "seen on tv" items. Where they sell something nuts like a 16th century Tibetan artifact? No clue. Disclaimer: I'm in the hospital confined to bed. Even Storage Wars is fun at this point.
I love this show, it's one of my guilty pleasures😂 As for flightless birds, hmm... It's the Kakapo!!! It's so cute!!!!!!!! And looks so huggable!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I recognized that painting Andy has on his wall partly because I have a huge, vintage, framed print of "The Blue Boy" that don't have a cat head or whatever that is on it :0)
It has been a hot minute since I watched this show but I’m pretty sure they have their own stores like a thrift store where they sell the things they buy here. Kinda like how Goodwill sells items that were donated by the community. If I remember correctly the show records stats throughout the season on profit made and profit lost then shows us how their season went during the season finale, I think they just pulled random numbers out of their ass to make it seem like they made a profit for that stat to go up. I was 10 when I last binge watched a season or two on A&E

Good way to maintain a stock of random valuable crap for an auction company though.
@@arbington Right right, so what I'm getting is that basically the auction might be for a bunch of storage units, but if there's only a few units, you'll also just auction off a bunch of random items too?? That's pretty cool.
Thanks for the run down btw, I was never really super into this show like a lot of people were, but it's cool to have a bit of insite from someone who knows the business
Close! We just do consignments and estates. So think, like, a garage sale that you’re paying someone else to do for you. But instead of garage sale style, we auction it. When we did live ones it was a big affair, we had a guy who would come out and sell barbecue to the customers, was fun. Most customers were old folks, so it was also obviously their way of getting out and socializing, for some of them anyway. Spend a weekend eating brisket and chatting about the price of antiques with fellow elders, seems fun at that age. We’d set up a bunch of folding tables, and on the tables you have little boxes and flats full of items, all sorted out, going down the line auctioning box after box. Getting more extra stuff from storage units, that just comes in if we don’t really have enough stuff from consignors or the estate to fill the tables. Most of the money goes to the people we sell for, actually our family’s “edge” in the business came from taking a bit less cut of the money than average. One of the other benefits of getting inventory from units is, since we bought it and it’s ours, we also get to keep the full proceeds on those items. I could probably ramble about it all for hours though, and I’m not even actually part of the family business, just grew up around it. It’s kinda interesting. As one of their instructors for the licensing once said, you never know what you’re gonna be selling next, and there’s job security forever so long as people keep needing to sell their extra junk. You probably have a local auction company wherever you are, and if it interests you, maybe register to bid sometime. It’s kinda fun and one of the best parts of it in my opinion is the customer is always paying what they think it’s worth, so it’s nigh impossible to be scammed so long as you bear in mind it’s all secondhand and it’s being sold as is where is with no guarantees. It’s an interesting business for sure.
@@arbingtona lot of old Pokémon cards are sold this way tbh
20:05 Hi, I’m a carousel-obsessed girl. Historically speaking, carousels were (and still are) very popular with the upper class due to their rarity. It’s very hard to find a wooden, hand-painted carousel horse nowadays because most of them are spray-painted and made of fiberglass. Carousel horse typically sell for a couple thousand on the market. Most people use them for decoration.
Do you know if there is any demand for new ones, or only antiques?
@@devindodge6189 there is definitely demand for modern ones- actually, a lot of artists will be personally commissioned to create decor pieces! Depending on the classification (county fair, Philadelphia, Coney Island) and year, some can be more expensive than others. Vintage carousel horses are often donated to museums for the sake of preservation but I’ve met rich folk with vintage horses on display.
I'm an EBay reseller.....and I'll tell you this...there is a buyer for everything. My wife and I have sold the most fucked up shit on Ebay and turned a good profit on it too.
Weirdest thing we sold was a old shot glass that had a drawing of an old man grabbing the ass of the waitress and laughing (very un PC today)
But, we listed it after finding it at a yard sale for .50 cents. We sold it for 10 bucks and the person who bought it sent my wife an email telling her how happy she was to find that shot glass. Apparently, her dad had a bar that had burned down shortly after he passed away...anyways, his fav shot glass at this bar was that exact shot glass she bought from us.
Her plans were to rebuild the bar, and have that shot glass sit behind the bar on the shelf under a picture of her dad.
It was kinda sweet....but, again..its the little weird things that mean the most to people.
Despite the picture on the glass, that is a really wholesome story.
I can see dumb stuff being valuble for sentimental reason I have a shotgun I inherited from my dad. It's an awful shotgun was very cheap very basic single action. Recoil will obliterate your shoulder. Company that makes them went out of bussiness years ago. They are so god awful they don't have value even tho company is defunct but for w.e my dad loved it so I don't wanna getbrid of it
I always wanted to leave a storage unit stacked to the ceiling with empty boxes and see how much it would go for at auction lol.
It's incredible how this show was built on "look how much lost treasure you can find in this storage lockers" and then in reality it's just "the person who owned this locker either died or is at the lowest place of their life and here's a locker of just random useless shit that they didn't want to get rid of" and it's doubly so that they pretend that you can make a living on this shit.
Yeah, I know 2 people who make pretty good money by taking possession of the storage units of people who couldn't afford to pay the rent any longer, and it's really predatory, because they're essentially grave robbing while these people are still alive. It really sucks how much money can be made due to people being in poverty/unable to even afford the few things they have in their lives
That Hazeltine 1000 is useless without an actual mainframe to interface with. Also, it should come as no surprise but when these things were first being sold, they were about $1000 each. I think most Hazeltines I've seen go for about $500 if they're in working condition, but only the most diehard of retro computer guys would probably buy one of these. The only thing Dave had of value in that storage locker that he could profit off of were the car parts, and given the terminal being in the same locker, assuming it's not a plant, I get the feeling Dave bought part of an out of business mechanic's shop.
You don't need a mainframe to use a terminal. I have an old Zenith terminal from the early 70s that I hooked up to a Sun Sparcstation computer running Solaris. It's such a cool thing to be able to get on the internet with a terminal that's older than I am. I still wouldn't pay more than like $100 for that Hazeltine though.
Gold in a computer also isn't as rare and fancy as they're making it sound. Retro computers are fun but they're much more plentiful, less unique and less artistic than the carousel horse.
My dad was obsessed with this show while my mom would walk out of the room everytime it was on cause one time they sold a storage unit my family owned without telling us and it was full of items that belonged to my deceased grandpa including his music that was one of a kind 💀 so yeah they might just be selling special things to people that no one would even know the value
...is uh is that legal? i always assumed the units being sold were like abandoned
Depends on the state 😢
@@XxadrenalineangelxXrules vary from state to state but all of them allow unit contents to be sold after a certain amount of time, sometimes surprisingly quickly.
I had a friend who almost had his unit auctioned off after his bank issued him a new credit card (identity theft concerns or something) he forgot he had that card as his auto pay method for the unit and it stopped working after the expiration date changed. Just happened to go in one day before they were going to sell it off. He had like 20k worth of guns and accessories in there and almost lost it all over less than 300$ of unpaid fees.
Wtf
Honestly same. I used to find this show very interesting until I had to adult and found myself in a very toxic relationship that resulted in 4 storage lockers worth of my whole life in 4 different states. Needless to say none of them survived and I sadly had to turn over all of my stuff to auction. Nobody wants to lose their stuff for somebody else to make a profit
when i was a kid, this show really made me want to go through storage lockers to see what i could find. i haven’t changed at all
Storage Wars was what played when Pawn Stars wasn't on when I was a kid
And IMO both shows were awful. These people were no better than vultures
i really thought the "bottoms & mess" thing was about to lead into a Lelo ad lmaaooo

Peak comedy when andy steps away from the mic to say something horrifically awkward
this makes sense because my brother and i came back to a random episode on netflix after not seeing it for years and my brother was like "so the checklist is jarod won't listen to his wife, darrell walks away or makes next to no money, barry will buy some 'weird' specialized thing and dave will have the average success" and literally all of that happened
Me: Never having any interest in watching Storage Wars growing up, or even now
Also me: Immediately clicking because Andy made a video about it
For selling items (13:44), almost all the characters on the show have their own thrift/vintage/antique shops where they effectively use the lockers as a way to get new inventory. Not sure how much of that is legit, but at some point in the show you see each character go back to their respective stores, so it seemed pretty legit to me lol
That “Skeleton” looks like the ones they use in dentistry school. I think that’s why they have old metal fillings.
Mine’s the kiwi bird. Arriving in in New Zealand 50million years ago as an offshoot of the Madagascar elephant bird, it evolved to become today’s small flightless nocturnal hunter (one of only 3% of birds that are nocturnal) in about 30million years. The splitting of the north and South Islands 3.5million years ago, along with the multiple glaciers found in NZ helped create a few different species from there, including the brown, and two types of spotted kiwis.
thank u for the kiwi facts💗 always thought they were cute n goofy and now i know more about them
Don't forget about Manukura (rip) and the other white Kiwis!
Why did no one tell me there are spotted kiwis??? So precious
I grew up in Dave's hometown and there's a mural of him painted on the side of a run-down building in the city square
Just like poetry
@stmsin no it's just poetic it's like you'd expect him to idk have a mural on a not run down building, the fact that's where it is is artistically beautiful
But....why?
Carousel horses and other animals actually sell for alot. Their price point usually depends on date, animal, and if they are hand-carved. There's actually a National Carousel Association and I believe everyone in it meets once a year.
But have you seen one sell for $2,500?
@tjneyland Yes. The most expensive carasol horse that I could find went for $250,000. That was not the asking price, to clarify; that is how much was paid for it.
Edit to clarify that this was definitely on the extreme high end, but 2500 is not even a little unheard of. These horses get bought all the time for 1500 to 5000 for good quality ones. Bear in mind that they used to be handcarved and, even on one carasol, each horse was often unique.
My uncle recently passed away and these kinda shows were his favorite to just kill time with. Thank you for making me remember one of my favorite people ever with a goofy video ❤
The worst part of Storage Wars is that the average person can go out and buy a locker, expecting treasure, but mostly getting random crap.
Not only are they out money, but resale shops, who used to be able to get a locker with random stuff for cheap are now bidding against these people, driving the price up and cutting into profits
I don't see that as bad
@stmsin most people wouldn't tho
My dad used to do this for a living the auctions them selfs where real and you could actually show up to them when they did the vegas episode me and my dad saw the locals that we knew on TV (it was only brief though) my dad was supposed to show up but then decided not to when he went to the next auction everybody was talking about the show.
@@tfordham13you have people paying out the nose for absolute garbage, trying to pawn it off online to make money, while an actual business owner, with a store and the ability to sell used items at low prices is trying to pay a reasonable price so they can sell things to customers at a low price gets the shaft.

Kiwis are the ultimate flightless bird. As I saw on a meme once, rat software on bird hardware
flightless birds, you say? why i do love a good cassowary... but the flightless cormorant is indeed, criminally underrated 🤔
i used to work almost exclusively with vintage/expensive items, and i can GUARANTEE YOU that even in an industry where antiques and other items are hand picked and fact/price checked as high quality... none of this stuff normal to find lmfao. the most expensive things you could convincingly come across in those storage units is jewelry. you would not BELIEVE the amount of people that basically throw away vintage pieces or solid gold (got a 50 gram gold necklace in where i worked and it sold for almost three thousand dollars). tbh there is something to be said for vintage tech though. i managed to snag a sony tape-to-tape recorder that usually goes for 300-2000 dollars, but like andy said, almost no one is gonna buy these things for full price (i bought it for 30 LMFAO)
I described this once as "Antiques roadshow" for unemployed people and students.
In my experience this is Antiques Roadshow for people who say slurs
the TV manual was actually hilarious tho

i fkn love chickens idk something about them they just look so dumb but also rly cute and cuddly the constant side eyeing also gives them this sassy judgemental attitude that i think is rly fun
Some of them are cuddly! The daycare I went to as a kid had some and one would just let me pick it up and pet it.

Flightless birds? Oh I love flightless birds! One time I told Plato I was a flightless bird and he beat me senseless!!
The kakapo is a very endangered flightless giant parrot! Easily my favorite flightless bird. I def suggest looking it up :)
you're NEVER gonna guess what my favorite flightless bird is
Hmm, I wonder if it's related to some type of fruit. A kiwi perhaps 😂
hmmmmm…. maybe a chicken? /j
Jewish people
this show was one of those shows that would just be on no matter what and i always told my family it was fake BUT NO ONE BELIEVED ME.
I like chickens although not completely flightless as they do have to ability to get themselves up in the air and more or less glide through the air, I've seen one "fly" down a hill before and it's quite funny as they are such silly little guys
They are such silly little guys!
Just what I needed right before heading to work. Thanks, homie ✨
My favourite flightlest bird is the Kakapo- an extremely endangered species in New Zealand who is currently only found on one island and some zoos. They are the largest and only flughtless parrot. The reason they became endangered is from humans bringing rats and cats on their ships, which hunted the Kakapos. Kakapos are nocturnal and rely on the "freeze" response since, before humans brought over rats and cats, the Kakapos' predators relied on eyesight and not scent. Since rats and cats rely on scent as well as movement, Kakapo became easy prey for them. Now they are on an island that has no natural predators so that their numbers can regrow! Also, their mating season occurs whenever a certain tree bears fruit- during which, that fruit is all they eat. To attract mates, male Kakapos will dig out a circle in dirt and clear it of debris, sit in the center, and make a loud "booming" sound. The loudest males will attract mates. Kakapos feathers are extremely soft since they are not used for flight (although they do glide, much like chickens do) and they are said to have a sweet smell to them.

As someone who worked at a zoo for several years and dealt with operating a carousel, we talked to carousel experts quite a lot. Especially since we still had a fully wooden, hand carved carousel (most carousels are not made with fiberglass since they're lighter weight). So they're actually very important for attractions and theme parks! Also my favorite flightless birds are Kiwis. They can run at 12+mph.
You're telling me that a reality show is fake?!?
Then you'll tell me the sky is blue
I have never been as envious of anyone's eyebrows in my life as I am of this random carousel horse expert's on Storage Wars
My favorite flightless bird is a hard tie-up between a kiwi and the classic penguin. I just love those little guys.
Going through the comments thinking the SAME thing.. I can't pick!
Hahah you are literally asking ALL the questions I always wondered about when I used to watch this show 😂
That description of Darrell is extremely accurate 😂😂😂
Darrell could be nice or a total dbag but either way I bet he makes the best BBQ you've ever had in your life 😂
Also also, you look great. That's a fantastic bowling shirt Andy. And that shorts are **chefs kiss**
Oh man, I can tell my Vyvanse is wearing off because I had to rewind the rant over Fortnite section 3 times to try and parse what he was saying, only to come to the end with only the thought, "I wonder if there's a Donatello skin... Oh fuck you for calling out my age, I just turned 35 less than a week ago, sheesh." And I should probably rewind again and turn away from the screen this time, but I am just going to pretend I processed everything and move on.
Hi, I'm a fellow 35 yr old whose Vyvanse is also currently wearing off and who also barely grasped what he was saying during the Fortnite part. I rewound it far too many times to try and catch everything he was saying, and was like wtf why am I like this? I'm just so glad I'm not alone 😅

never expected a law firm sponsor on a storage wars commentary video. keep up the good work, this stuff is interesting to hear you ramble about 👍 i dont have a favourite flightless bird but my friend really loves penguins so i associate them with her. kiwis make a really messed up call. my favourite bird despite being flightful is the bearded vulture :)
Favorite flightless bird… gotta give it to the terror birds, flightless and extinct predatory birds. These things were big, fast, and had strong legs and sharp beaks. Shame they went extinct, I bet they were a sight to behold on a hunt- though they’d be terrifying to face.
If we’re talking birds still alive, I love the cassowary. Practically a living dinosaur. Their large talons are like daggers and they can slice you open if they decide they don’t like you. Their call is deep and seems like a window into the past, like we’re hearing what dinosaurs might’ve sounded like… and their colors are stunning on top of that.
i watched a episode where a guy bought a locker then claimed he would get 50 dollars from 3 wii games
idk man not enough conversation about kiwis (the best flightless bird)
Idk man seems like you're unaccepting of other opinions
idk man seems like you're against joy and whimsy (kiwis)
@@doogal_ the kiwi is an adorable creature that unfortunately knows nothing but pain. There is little to no joy in a wild kiwi's life and it is a cruel joke that they survived when the haast's eagle didn't. However, I do recognise that I overreacted somewhat and apologise. Fun fact: kiwis have whiskers around their beak like a rodent!

guilty pleasure to watch. I feel like such an old lady watching it but its SO GOOD
fun fact: a LOT of electronics have gold in them. it's extremely conductive and has good wear resistance.
Sure, but enough to make getting it worthwhile?
Storage unit auctioneers aren't really a thing that would be a full time job. Every one I have attended the auction is run by somebody that works at the storage unit place. When they get 3-5 units that payments have lapsed, they hold an auction to clear them out. It's just part of the job.
I LOVED the beginning when you're grunting with effort as you hang up a little piece of paper on the wall. 💯😂

My favorite flightless bird is definitely this emu owned by my highschool worship pastor. Its name was Juke
Hey Andy, just a protip. When visiting sites that existed a long time ago, make sure to check out its archived version like from the Wayback Machine. It turns out that Darrell just sells stuff from the storages on his site back then. Hope this helps you find out interesting stuff in your future videos.
My favorite flightless bird is also the emu, they even won a war against the australian military.
Andy!!!
I’ve missed your videos! It takes you so long to make these
I always thought Brandy and Jared's "strategy" made no sense , they would always go in acting like "we gotta win one today or out business is toast" and then overpay. I guess that's just their character, but it always amused me. Meanwhile Dave's character is being an asshole, but he also seemed like he had a good strategy with the auctions he did win, where he'd look for furniture and appliances he could polish up and sell at his store. Everyone else was always looking for some kind of wild home run,
Scripted or not, I always liked Barry and Ivy
Exactly! Who do they sell this stuff to?! Thank you for asking the questions that need to be answered.
The fact that they weren’t allowed to look through it before buying it always drove me crazy. Who just randomly made up that rule? Can you imagine if you weren’t allowed to look at other things before dropping hundreds of dollars on them?
That’s how storage auctions work. You really think they have someone available to hang out and show all the units?
Before the show “hundreds of dollars” wasn’t spent, you’d get a locker 90% full of junk for $50, spend a whole day separating and junking or scrapping what you couldn’t sell, and have maybe a couple dozen items you could sell at the flea markets or a shop for a little bit of money
Ivy, Darrel, Rene, and back then Brandi/Jarrod and Dave all ran thrift stores.Most of them are shown. Smaller items went online (Mary still sells.) Not defending the fakeness but when they'd say like "$15 box of DVDs " they were putting it in a store. Dave and Darrel also did swap meets - or so they said in an argument right after Dave got back. Sometime the value translated into knowing someone to buy it. Barry flipped a locker with nothing but motorcycle parts. Darrel did the same with a couple hundred new "seen on tv" items. Where they sell something nuts like a 16th century Tibetan artifact? No clue. Disclaimer: I'm in the hospital confined to bed. Even Storage Wars is fun at this point.
I love this show, it's one of my guilty pleasures😂
As for flightless birds, hmm... It's the Kakapo!!! It's so cute!!!!!!!! And looks so huggable!!!!!❤❤❤❤
I recognized that painting Andy has on his wall partly because I have a huge, vintage, framed print of "The Blue Boy" that don't have a cat head or whatever that is on it :0)
I'm pretty sure Darrell's claim to fame is buying a storage locker full of highly valuable sports cards. Nothing since, or prior. Just that.

It has been a hot minute since I watched this show but I’m pretty sure they have their own stores like a thrift store where they sell the things they buy here. Kinda like how Goodwill sells items that were donated by the community. If I remember correctly the show records stats throughout the season on profit made and profit lost then shows us how their season went during the season finale, I think they just pulled random numbers out of their ass to make it seem like they made a profit for that stat to go up.
I was 10 when I last binge watched a season or two on A&E
