You do realize that show (and others like it) is 100% staged/fake, right?

I know
several people that buy storage auctions and flip the contents. the show is rigged i am sure but to pretend people can not make a living buying storage auctions is also false. There is a dealer at the Valley Forge shows who gets ALOT of his material from such auctions. From what I have found out the items you see were found in lockers just not always the lockers they show you on the show. WHen in SoCal if you stop by Brandy and Jarrod's shop they are fairly cordial and talkative, if you happen to actually catch them in the store. Not sure if that is any more true than the show but it makes sense.

I have a friend who works in a storage facility. Kind of off topic but I was surprised to find out that if you're a dead beat on your rent and they sell your contents, the facility can only recoup what is owed in back rent. The rest is yours.
So let's say you're late on $400 rent and your locker goes to auction. If it sells for $1,000, the facility can only keep the $400 they were owed and you get the $600 left over. |

It's not 100% fake, only 90%. They are auctioning real lockers. It's just that many of the good items in there are planted by the show.

It's like those documentaries about someone who survived on his own in the mountains, and you realize "If you're only your own, then who's filming you?"
Though there was a case where it wasn't staged. There is a documentary made up of films of legendary naturalist Dick Proennecke, an older retired gentleman who lived by himself in the most remote Alaska mountain wilderness for 30 something years where most people wouldn't survive one winter (People have literally frozen and starved to death trying). People asked if he was there by himself, how did these of him films exist? Turns out someone gave him a camera and he did indeed film himself, along with keeping a detailed written diary. He'd set the camera on a tripod and do his daily stuff. "Alone in the Wilderness, the story of Dick Proenneke" is an excellent and unusual documentary by the way. The anti-'Reality Television' show, because it's real and unstaged. Expect a detailed, quiet and often meditative film-diary of a different life in a different world, rather than action packed and drama filled-- though he does on occasion encounter grizzly bears, wolverines and wolves, and often carries a rifle on his back for safety. The documentary has proven popular because the details of his daily solitary life are fascinating (including how he does stuff) and the film itself is quietly different.
