She said he had the normal trash/junk that regulars have there. There was an episode we watched the other day where he got a locker full of old books and he valued it at 15k dollars. It was a complete joke. She asked about em and said "How much did you sell those books for?" and he replied "15k just like the show said". Said he was a total dick, just like in the show. I thought it was great because he was selling his stupid yuuuuupp caps and sweatshirts. The dude is a joke.  :lol

Really short too.

Sorry to hijack the thread but I thought it was sort of relevant.

Heh.... yeah you can't fake that kind of dickery.   That's what I was getting at btw.  These guys have such a complex that when they over-value something (to make the other guys look bad) they would NEVER admit to the stuff being worth less. 

I'm not sure how you can hi-jack one of my pointless angry rants btw.  ;)

Sorry, pinballjim, I didn't mean to spoil the illusion for you.  The auctions are recorded as they happen but a lot of what ends up in the final edit are pick-ups.  I'm sure you can tell the difference.

P.S.  David Blaine can really levitate.   ::)

Dervacumen:
I'll bet there are discussions like this on a weekly basis on message boards around the 'net.  Some message board member who specializes in [name your vice] realizes the show's made to provide entertainment and not economic investment advice.  Never woulda thunk it.
Now I'm off to buy a 48-n-1 cocktail off craigslist for $950/.   I plan to run re-runs of this episode on my website to justify selling them for $2250, 'cause now the cat's out of the bag.  If you buy one of these now, you can spin it for a profit before you even get it home.  Anyone want one?

LOL -  I was just telling my wife exactly that.  We don't know the value of coins so every time Darrel or Dave on Storage Wars buy a load of coins the "expert" could be full of it and we would have no idea.
