There’s some serious money to be made when it comes to Storage Wars.
The long-running A&e reality TV series first debuted in 2010 and has gone on for 14 seasons, and follows the buyers and auctioneers involved in storage units left unpaid after three months. The contents inside are sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items in cash-only auctions. Before the auction begins, the buyers are given five minutes to inspect the contents from the doorway.
When all is said and done, the winning buyer gets to go through the lockers, and we learn about each of the storage units’ worth as they dig through the contents – and whether the buyers made gains or losses with their winning bids.
Several of the stars of the show have managed to amass great fortunes through their work.

By now most of us should be well aware of the idea that Storage Wars was mostly scripted and only had a few moments here and there that were genuine, such as when Dave Hester decided to act like a world-class jerk and Dan and Laura weren’t exactly the shining example of patience either. Each one of the cast members had their own personal hangups, but The Gambler, Darrell Sheets, was one of the unique personalities that seemed to know a lot about a few things but acted like he knew everything about most things. It’s hard to tell just

Darrell Sheets is one of the cast members on Storage Wars. In particular, he is famous for being the Gambler, meaning that he prefers to take big risks so as to secure big profits instead of seeking a constant stream of smaller but steadier profits. As a result, an argument can be made that he is an important part of what makes Storage Wars well worth watching. Regardless, it is interesting to note that Sheets is now working with his son, meaning that it seems probable his more than three decades in his chosen profession will translate into a family

Darrell Sheets may well have made his biggest gamble ever on the latest episode of "Storage Wars." He certainly dropped more cash on a unit than he ever had -- even if it was a giant unit. What he was gambling on was that the unit was filled with boxes of collectibles. The problem was he had no idea what was in the boxes before he spent $13,500 on the unit.
“This is the most I’ve ever spent on a locker. I’m about to enter holy grail territory," he said. But as he started going through the box, it proved to be everything he hoped it would be. "Every box! Cards, collectibles. This is why I do this," he said with glee.
The locker was filled with sports memorabilia, rare movie posters and vinyl records. But the big money items came from all the World War II memorabilia in there as well.

Popular A&E reality show "Storage Wars" is back in the spotlight this week, as Radar Online has published a report that three cast members of the storage bin-bidding program have been left out of extra episodes.
Reportedly, bidder Darrell Sheets (pictured) and auctioneers Dan and Laura Dotson were kept out of some extra episodes that were shot for the current season.
A source tells Radar, "They lived up to Darrell's contract, but then shot more episodes that weren't covered by his contract and kept him out of those. He was not happy to say the least."

The source claims the reason for cutting them back was the money. It might not have anything to do with former cast member Dave Hester's lawsuit, but he did file suit against the show late last year alleging that...

It was the biggest payout in the history of "Storage Wars." Darrell Sheets invested $3,600 into a storage locker, which is a lot of money to take on a gamble. But the show clearly saved the best for last, as the season finale revealed a find no one could have anticipated.
The locker was filled with original art by Frank Guttierez. An expert estimated that the collection was worth approximately $300,000, flooring Darrell.
"How old on just a minute," he marveled. "$300,000? Bam!"
But is it too good to be true? In light of Dave Hester's suit claiming that the show is faked, some viewers online were skeptical.
Darrell took to Twitter to reveal that the locker turned out to belong to Guttierez, and he'd been in contact with the author. Further, he suggested that something is in the works with the show to debunk Hester's claims.

Darrell Sheets really paid for one locker on this week's "Storage Wars." The unit was literally filled to the ceiling with furniture, electronics and other items, making it a hot commodity at the auction.
Of course, it didn't help that Dave Hester was gleefully getting into a bidding war with him, seemingly with no intentions of actually winning.
"I love making Darrell pay," Hester laughed.
But it didn't matter. Sheets wound up paying $7,250 for the locker -- which is the most he'd ever paid for one -- but quickly started to feel better about the gamble.
"This is better than I even dreamed," he said as more and more pristine items came out of the unit. In the end, Sheets estimated the value of his purchase at over $10,000.

One thing's for sure - they never found anything like this in the hit TV series "Storage Wars" although we're fairly certain that if they did, Darrell Sheets would proclaim it to be a thirty dollar bill all day and then eventually get outbid by Dave Hester. Yup!

Storage Wars found its formula rather early on in its first season, and it hasn’t changed at all since. The second season follows the same pattern, with the first half of each episode devoted to the four teams bidding on abandoned storage units, and then the second half sees them scrounging through hoping to find treasures buried within that will make their investment worthwhile. The same groups remain front and center: the egotistical mogul, Dave Hester; idiotic, redneck braggart, Darrell Sheets and his son Brandon; the amusing bickering couple, Jarrod Schulz and Brandi Passante; and colorful, bored collector, Barry Weiss. Occasionally other parties will muscle in on their fun, like the bullying Mark Balelo or cunning Nabila Hannis, but they’re usually never around for too long (though Nabila might be in the next season).

I recently took a trip to the Us for a holiday and, as I tend to do when on holiday in America, I found myself flicking through the many television channels available on the hotel TV – and, as also tends to happen when having so much choice, I stopped upon the strangest shows I saw and wouldn’t you know it the majority of those were (shudder) reality television. And somehow I became hooked… I even took time to find out when these weird and wonderful shows were on TV so I could watch more. Thank god for Us television ‘s love of series marathons is all I can say!

'Storage Wars' (Wednesdays, 10Pm Et, A&E) debuted last year and quickly became A&E's top-rated reality series. Why? The idea of buying a storage locker full of potential "wow factor" finds, as star Darrell Sheets would say, is fun to watch.
But, like most reality series that win a devoted fan base comprised of the viewers who are returning in droves for the second season of 'Storage Wars,' the show really owes its success to its "characters," the guys (and woman, in the case of Brandi Passante) who keep rolling the dice on finding treasures amongst others' forgotten storage lockers.
No one is a bigger, funnier or more endearing character than 60-year-old Barry Weiss, the cool cat collector (he's been described as "Robert Evans-meets-Jack Nicholson") who frequently annoys his fellow 'Storage Wars' stars with his antics (he's brought...

America has become obsessed with turning trash into treasure. Witness the burgeoning treasure hunting genre that started with 'Antiques Roadshow' and now includes 'American Pickers,' 'Pawn Stars,' 'Auction Kings,' 'Auction Hunters' and A&E's latest hit, 'Storage Wars.'
While each show takes a different angle, they all essentially feature real-life people looking to uncover the jewels hidden among junk (theirs or someone else's) and make money off of it.
'Storage Wars,' which focuses on four men who bid on defaulted storage lockers, premiered last month to 2 million viewers, making it the cable network's best unscripted debut in 2010. The show's gotten so much buzz that it has spurred such interest in the world of storage auctions that the number of bidders has sometimes quadrupled, according to show star Darrell Sheets.
