Las Vegas: an Auction Royale for Storage Wars

Part of the fun of television is when something that is a real part of everyday living becomes TV entertainment. For thousands of people across the U.S.A., they can see this weekly on the hit A&E series, Storage Wars. One recent episode, Auction Royale, took the bidders on a marathon of unit auctions in Las Vegas.

Already tired from several consecutive days of bidding, the bidders had to endure Dave Hester, who was his usual pain in the neck. He's a businessman who doesn't care who he annoys. That's clear from his methodology of bidding as seen through Storage Wars' first season.

The sad part of this reality show is that it means someone has fallen on hard times. The best part of renting a unit is that a person can easily go to sparefoot.com and find a nearby facility for their goods. Unfortunately, if economics lands them in a situation where they can't pay their fee, the facility can put it up for auction. That's where we end up finding the fascinating stories of what is kept in the lockers on this TV series.

Auction Royale gave us Darrell finding some expensive vases and glasses. Hester landed a furniture set, while Senior citizen Barry found an interesting S&H Green Stamp sign, worth nothing, but he made a new friend. Finally, ust when married couple Brandi and Jarrod thought they had a so so buy, Brandi discovered over $500 in casino chips. They celebrated with a night on the town!
