Mark Balelo, an auction house owner featured on the A&E reality TV show "Storage Wars," was found dead on Feb. 11, The Ventura County Star reported. He was 40.
Balelo was one of the deep-pocketed buyers featured on the show that depicts storage-unit auctions. The former owner of a chain of thrift stores, Balelo had a knack for finding treasure among trash.
Nicknamed "Rico Suave" for his flamboyant style, Balelo once hosted a live auction right before Halloween while dressed as Superman. He discovered a "man purse" that contained $50,000. He also was instrumental in helping Nicolas Cage recover a mint-condition copy of a 1938 Action Comics book that was stolen from the actor's storage locker. The comic book was valued at $1 million.
Balelo owned Balelo Inc., a business that specializes in asset liquidations and closeout sales. He previously ran a gaming store called The Game Exchange.

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).
