Storage wars flub? Show rigged? Tonights episode

Wondering if I'm the only one who noticed in the 2nd episode tonight the unit w/ the white rocking chair during the preview prior to bidding there was one shot of the boxes neatly stacked and taped shut and to the right, then another shot of one of the boxes opened and sitting on the rocking chair and the other two boxes to the right also opened. Then when bidding began they were all 3 shown sealed and stacked again. Darrel Sheets won the unit and when they went back to open it the boxes were still stacked neatly and taped up and they proceeded to tear into everything and nothing they did would have set the boxes up in a manner that was shown prior to the bidding where there was the one on the chair and the other 2 to the right and all opened. Show is obviously staged anyway, all actors putting on for entertainments sake. This show is semi entertaining sometimes but has killed the business it represents as everyone now thinks that theres 20k worth of stuff in every storage unit that they just can't see until the spent 5-6 times what the unit is actually worh. No fun or profit to be made off of this hobby any more.

  • Well of course its not filmed continuously, and some reenacting takes place.  Heck remember the nightly news has even been caught faking some real stuff.   That doesn't mean the items aren't real.  I've noticed most of the negative comments about the show are from people like yourself who are in the business and are upset it has brought in new people.  This show clearly has shown several times that some lockers aren't worth anything.  People who quit their job and enter this business because of this show are unlikely CEO'; anyway.

  • What is sad is that this show is mildly entertaining, I watch t when nothing else is on. Now TruTV also has its version. Sad to take a weak idea and repeat it.

  • Yes thank you very much I did see that. I watch online, don't have cable. Also it was like that when they were viewing it also. Something not right with that. I thought it was just on line and they made a mistake uploading it. But pretty bad mistake for whoever is suppose to edit. Makes me view it in different eyes. I hate to be fooled.
