Storage Wars
Go bid or go home
When rent is not paid on a storage locker for three months in California, the contents can be sold by an auctioneer as a single lot of items in the form of a cash-only auction. The show follows professional buyers who purchase the contents based only on a five-minute inspection of what they can see from the door when it is open. The goal is to turn a profit on the merchandise.

Ep 1High Noon in the High Desert
It's a showdown in the high desert as the buyers crack open a trove of abandoned storage lockers. Barry Weiss unearths the personal possessions of rap magnate Suge Knight. Jarrod Schulz and Dave Hester throw down their bankrolls in hopes of scoring a classic organ. And Darrell Sheets reveals a historic, one hundred and fifty thousand-dollar find. Classic items, wily personalities—let the storage wars begin!
Ep 2Railroad Roulette
Chaos ensues throughout the storage units of Westminister. A secret weapon is brought out by Barry Weiss to dwarf the competition. Two bitter rivals, Dave Hester and Darrell Sheets, go toe-to-toe for a locker with a twenty thousand dollar payout. After Jarrod buys a suspect unit, a lover's quarrel breaks out between he and Brandi. But after inspection, the bickering pair find something even Brandi didn't expect. It's Russian Roulette in a facility wrought with both trash and treasure.
Ep 3Melee in the Maze
The buyers venture to the labyrinth-like Self Storage Center in Cerritos. Jarrod and Dave set their sights on a locker filled with handcrafted bamboo fishing rods. Brandi tries a little feminine wit to outsmart her macho competitors. And the financial future of Darrell's granddaughter, Zoe, hangs in the balance. From solid silver to a locked safe, the buyers duke it out in the hunt for hidden treasure.
Ep 4War on the Shore
In Huntington Beach the buyers are picking up anything but good vibrations. Dave Hester leaves Darrell Sheets hanging out to dry with a pump fake approach. But Darrell's wrath costs Dave dearly in return. Barry Weiss finds a twelve inch piano, but there's a chance this small wonder could be more than just a child's toy. And a rip tide of cash is spent on the highest winning unit of the season.
Ep 5The Old Spanish Standoff
When the locks are blasted off the storage doors in a California town rich in historic Spanish-American culture, our intrepid buyers discover an unusual mannequin phone, a bootlegger's moonshine still, and some enticing office equipment. Nice stuff—but is it worth anything?
Ep 6All Guns to Port
Since the Port of Long Beach, California, boasts high-end imports but low-income housing, the buyers know they can either go boom or bust today. When the storage units finally swing open, they reveal surfing and cowboy items, maintenance equipment, and even some flare guns. The tension mounts as the buyers bid for stuff that might make 'em or break 'em.
