Little Known Facts About Reality Show ‘Storage Wars’

Storage Wars became a huge hit on the A&E network. It followed several interesting characters who built their livelihood on finding and re-selling items found in storage containers. In California, if a storage container is left unpaid after three months, the unit can be auctioned off.

Naturally, this means that some people can find unbelievable treasures and others find nothing but trash. Storage Wars let all of us enter the world of these auctions and the results were always pretty entertaining.

1. Dave Hester made a shocking claim against A&E
