You Will Never Believe These Unforgettable ‘Storage Wars’ Finds

11. A Bunch of Nothing

At some point on the show, Barry Weiss literally took a blowtorch to a safe that he couldn’t open. When that didn’t work, he called in a professional to unlock the daunting safe, only to find nothing inside. What a nice reminder that not everything is the treasure in Storage Wars.

12. A Pocket Spittoon Too Good to Pass Up

Sometimes the bidders aren’t all about the profit. Weiss often is called “the collector,” and that’s not for naught. On one episode, he found a pocket spittoon from the 19th century that even the experts couldn’t put a number on. He liked it so much he kept it.

13. A Museum in a Locker

In one of the most wealth-abundant episodes to air, bidders Rene and Casey Nezhoda found what looked like a whole museum in their locker. From beautiful paintings to ornate pottery, the Nezhodas came across a collection of artwork worth around $50,000. Not bad for an afternoon of spring cleaning.

14. A Surprising Profit

One of the most shockingly valuable items discovered on the show was Mary Padian’s antique candle maker, which was valued at $1,400. Her partner wanted to sell it for $50 before the appraisal.

15. Biggest Payout Ever

Sheets is the owner of the most valuable storage unit to actually air on television. He invested a hefty $3,600 on a locker filled with artwork, only to find out that around $300,000 worth of Frank Guttierez paintings existed inside. Sheets later found out that the unit actually belonged to Guttierez.
