Apparently Brandi was a stripper at one point, and Jared was the floor manager. That's how they met. I remember Jared saying "I was her manager" a while back in the first episodes so... maybe? This was told to me by a friend after I said I watched this show. I have no idea if its true but he read it on the internet. He also said there's a mugshot http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl...Q9QEwAg&dur=175

quote:For $49.99 you can own these coveted Elvis newspapers, signed by Dan Doston who auctioned off the unit on Storage Wars and you'll also receive Dan Dotson's certificate of authenticity. Free tax, shipping & handling. So $49.99 for the ENTIRE lot? That better not be the price for one paper. And wow, autographed by some rear end in a top hat auctioneer on TV!!!

MrBling posted:Hey now, Dan is a nice guy. You're right, that was unnecessarily harsh of me. I was just suggesting that the signature of an auctioneer shouldn't really double the price of an item like that.

Well, it seems likely that the people that has gained most from the show is American Auctioneers or whatever it is Dans company is called. They get advertising on tv and loads of So in a sense, he is a celebrity. But of course you're right in that in as much as a signature would increase the value of anything, the signature of the guy selling it probably doesn't really matter that much.

Yeah I mean it seems like a self-storage place is almost a turnkey operation to begin with, and Dan has the added benefit of a huge number of people showing up to buy abandoned units for (especially now) greatly inflated sums of cash. Although I've never noticed if they show a sign on the property with the phone number & address. They usually blur that stuff out.

He just looked at the suggested retail prices on the back and went by that. "YUUUP...Just made 5 figures on used books, right here, these idiots didn't know what they just missed out on."

After the latest Pickers, my dad and I were discussing it, and we had 2 thoughts. 1) If Frank had to go pick on his own, he wouldn't get into half the places that he and Mike do. Mike is 500% more charismatic and personable than Frank is, and it shows badly. If Frank turned up on your doorstep, you just wouldn't answer. 2) My dad has been in antique toys for 25 years now. He trades in the UK and the US, and we've actually seen Frank a few times at this huge antique toy show in Chicago. For someone who always claims to be the toy guy, Frank [a] buys some absolute crap, [b] never really seems to know about toys when he does see them, and [c] ignores them on picks a lot of the time.

There are a bunch of other things including some picture that shows her from way back when before Storage Wars where she's in a black dress? I guess that makes you a stripper. I don't know. I can definitely see it, though. Where else would Jared have been her manager? A restaurant?

Yeah, she was pretty amusing about it. "Now that the economy is coming back really good, I can ask for more!" Take that Mr. Pawn "Economy is bad.. this just doesn't sell like it used to..." Star!

I guess I'm the only one who still forces Storage Wars Texas on himself, since there's no comments on how incompetent Lisa is. She resold a table to Moe that he flipped at his gallery for an extra three grand. She also doesn't know how to define the word "antique". Literally.
