Inside the Untold Story of the Million-Dollar Treasure “Storage Wars” Stars Overlooked—What They’ll Never Forget
He also has his partner to thank for supporting his dreams.
Voodoo Items To Put A Curse On Other Buyers
As always, Brandi and Jarrod find the strangest things. One storage locker revealed a box of items that appeared to be everything you needed to curse someone with a voodoo spell.
The box held stuff like a deer skull, human hair, chicken bones, and statues of people. Uhm, please burn the box immediately.
Faceless Bills Can Still Turn A Profit
It isn’t every day you stumble upon wads of cash that are missing the faces of our past presidents. Immediately, you assume the cash is counterfeit and can’t turn a profit, but you’d be wrong.
One cast member bought the unit for $400, found these wads of faceless bills, and learned that they were still legal tender so they made off with $24,000.
Brandi Sued An Adult Film Distributor
In 2013, Brandi won a lawsuit against an adult film distributor after they posted a video claiming it was her. The video included a woman they claimed was Brandi, but most definitely was not.
Brandi sued for $2.5 million but only ended up with $750. She says she doesn’t care about the money but mostly wants her fans to know she wouldn’t do that.
Darrell Basically Stalked His Wife
It’s not every day that following a car for miles and then holding your number up to their window works, but that’s exactly what happened when Darrell Sheets met his (now ex) wife.
He was driving in California when he spotted Kimber and began to stalk her. Incredibly, it worked and the two got married.
A Spinoff Cast Member Has Family Drama
Kevin Pew, one of the cast members of Storage Wars: Miami, was caught up in some legal issues after his son shot a woman. Kevin was there and had to physically restrain his son.
The scandal was a dark spot for Kevin, but it didn’t affect his time on the show.
Hester’s Lawsuit Against A&E Screwed Him Over
In 2013, Hester filed his lawsuit alleging that the show was faked and that production plants items in the storage unit. Production listened to his concerns and allegedly stopped planting items…but only in Hester’s units.
If the claims are true, then it explains why Hester turned into such a horrible buyer by the end of his time on the show.
A Diamond In The Rough
One of the earliest victories on Storage Wars came only four episodes into season one. Barry bought a unit for $275 filled with beauty and salon supplies. He figured they’d resell at a decent price but none of that mattered after Barry got to the back of a unit and realized there was a grand piano back there.
The piano ended up turning Barry a sweet $11,625 profit. Or should we say, “tuning” a profit?
Barry Barely Looks At Units
When Barry Weiss decides to bid on a unit it’s because something has caught his eye. In one episode, he climbed onto a pile of junk until he saw something he thought might be valuable.
Barry, as you know, wasn’t concerned about paying rent, he was just looking to make one big score.
Darrell Sheets Threatened To Quit
Darrell Sheets was never viewed by A&E as the reason people watch Storage Wars. Once he realized how undervalued, and underpaid he was, he threatened to quit.
His final straw when he heard a rumor the network was going to slash his pay in half. Nothing ever happened and he remained a main cast member.
Barry Has Been In Two Spin-Offs
Barry Weiss is a big character best served in small doses. A&E learned this the hard way when they cast him in not one, but two spin-off shows.
Neither attempt was successful. In fact, A&E has tried to launch several off-shoots of the tried and true formula only to be met with failure. How different can Container Wars really be?
Ride Some Vintage Camel Saddles All The Way To The Bank
Mary was the star of the spinoff Storage Wars: Texas and didn’t seem too intimidated when she saw a pair of saddles in the back of a unit. That is, until she looked closer and realized they weren’t horse saddles, they were camel saddles.
The vintage camel saddles dated to the 18th century and sold at $1,500 each. Not too shabby!
Barry Self-Medicates
After suffering a back injury as a kid, Barry Weiss started smoking marijuana to help deal with the pain. When the drug became legal medicinally, Weiss got himself a card.
