Storage Wars is about buyers who buy storage units of people who couldn't afford to keep them or left them from any other reason.
the "rules of the show are :
1. each week 3 of 4 buyers will by unit, without seeing what's in them, beside how they look from the outside.
2. 1 will go home without buying anything.
3. they will all find some antiques, or valuable collectables, that were not expected to be find in the unit.
4. then they immediately get appraisal from an expert. usually that will find out that the finding worth a lot.
5. for the other items they find, they will appraisal them by themselves :
usually they will expect a profit that is 2 times , from the real price that they will sell it (if they sell it at all).
players : 2 typical rednecks (father + son), a weird collector (the shows clown), the young married couple (not really married), and the veteran mogul (the bad guy). there are more players but they are less significant.
the mvps : the collector : barry and the mogul : dave.
season 1 - 3 : all player present (the best years). season 4 - 5 (most of 5) the mogul left and was replaced by a fat German dude and is dumb wife. season 5 - the collector left to his own show - without the best players the show lost its fun and entertainment factor.
pro & cons : + entertainment and fun : season 1-3. - "salting" - the production is WWF the entire show take the credibility out of the reality.
