Storage Wars: What The Producers Don’t Want You To Know

Storage Wars burst onto our screens in 2010 and we’ve loved it ever since! Before the show, none of us had any idea there could be so much drama surrounding a storage unit, but of course, we didn’t understand then, how much money there is to be made. Here are all of those storage units that were worth a fortune and weren’t brought, plus all the drama you never knew about.

Hester spoke out against the show

He can easily brush the cast members and fans up the wrong way with his comments and attitude but even if he is the most opinionated member of Storage Wars, Dave Hester is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining. In 2012, he ruffled a few feathers when he claimed that the show was set up, and items were placed in the units by the producers.

It sure got people talking, especially because the A&E network didn’t speak out to say the claims weren’t true.

Non-cast members

Even though the show has its own cast members, there are still ‘regular’ people that head out to the auctions to try and make some money – and there are a lot more people out there doingexactly that.

In fact, many of these appear on the show (you can spot them in the background). Occasionally, fans can miss out on some good TV when a non-cast member sweeps a money-making unit.

Million dollar unit

There have been loads of amazing storage unit wins that we still haven’t been able to see and some of them have made the buyers, are you ready for it… millionaires! There are times that they make way above a few thousand dollars.

In Indio, California, auctioneers Laura and Dan Dotson sold a unit for just $500, and they couldn’t believe when its new owners found a staggering $7.5 million inside!

Did Brandi and Jarrod know?

When Dave Hester came out with his accusations about the show being rigged, during the court case, information also came out that Brandi and Jarrod knew about it all along.

Allegedly, it was something they thought was a good addition to the show. Although the couple has gone on to deny knowing anything about it.
