Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

Ah that would be the Nabil Haniss who was a co-defendant in the Paris Hilton lawsuit?

The first episode she was on everyone was talking about the "Paris Hilton locker" she snagged for a $1 mil. Must be.

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

Do Darrell and his son have enough sunglasses? They we're both wearing a pair and they had four more up in clips.

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

Nabila's a good character on the show, but I don't necessarily think that she's up to being the next Dave. With all the hype, she hasn't shown herself to be too very cut throat or tough in the auctions, but maybe that's coming later.

Nice to see Barry score in 2 episodes in a row.

Nabila is a fraud. She never bids on anything and seems her only objective is to get cheap lockers or bid others up for no apparent reason. Love how she said a pyrex bowl was worth $10.

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

Yeah, why buy a set of 3 at the store brand new, when you can buy them for $10 a pop. There is no way they thought that gun was some antique either, but that's more on the show editors than her.

Found this:

http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/...1#.TxbaEG9SQ9k
Hilton filed a federal lawsuit in Los Angeles Monday seeking to shut down the site and alleging that defendants Nabil and Nabila Haniss paid $2,775 for the belongings before turning around and selling the goods for $10 million to entrepreneur Bardia Persa and David Hans Schmidt, known as the "Sultan of Sleaze" because of his ties to the celebrity porn industry.

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

I like how they all getting into pissing contests to see who will blow the biggest amount on these crappy lockers by out-bidding each other. Darrell got stuck with that $6600 locker last night that he said he could clear about $3500 from - all because he wanted to "prove a point" to Dave...puhleeze.

I wish I had that kind of money to blow...

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

Oh and I was laughing my ass off at Darell bidding $6600 for a locker of crap. I find it hard to believe that Darrell DOES have that kind of money to blow and if he did that regularly, he'd be out of his lucrative flea market business.

I don't know what his appearance fee or whatever is for starring in this show, but I'm sure it's more than that. If they didn't blow their money on stupid shit every once in a while, it wouldn't be as exciting.

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

True but before the show, that would have doomed him. Plus, up until this point, I don't recall anyone bidding that high for a locker of crap. Bids have been high at times but only for lockers with a clear and obvious return.

Oh and Deve showing up with his convoy of Yuuuup! trucks?

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

Didn't watch both episodes, but the one with the $6,600 locker was ridiculous. I wonder what other people who go to these auctions think about the hoopla and circus that now surrounds storage locker buying in CA thanks to the show. It's gotta suck to know you're not going to get one cheap ever again.

I like the philosophy of the guys on Auction Hunters. They will pay about half the worth of what they can see with their eyeballs. These guys don't seem to get dragged into pissing contests too often.

A fraud? The woman bought a locker of Paris Hilton's possessions for $2775 and sold it for $10 million. She's no fool.

And dem boobies... jeez.

She confused a fake Coach purse with a Gucci. She must not have an eye for the "deals".

She's got a great rack but that was more by luck than it was methodically buying that. If anyone knew it was Paris Hilton's locker it would have went for more than that. Not only that but most of the contents she was selling was personal stuff, like love notes and photos, so it's not like she saw that right away and thought "$10 Million pay off!".

Re: Official Storage Wars Discussion

I know its probably been said before, but with the exception of Barry, and possible Jarrod and Branidi, these are some of the worst people on the face of the earth. " I have no interest in this but if some one else wants it I am going to make them over pay"

I think it boils down to:

Barry needs a spin-off
Brandi needs to just release naked pics

Everyone else is not interesting.

I might be wrong, but it was a fake Gucci exterior with a fake Coach interior.

Barry said he use to be a picker in an episode a while ago. So just do "American Pickers" but with Barry instead of Mike and Frank

You can't force someone to overpay; they can always stop bidding and leave you with the locker, as had happened a few times. If your opponent keeps outbidding you they either:

A) Think the locker is worth more than you do. Which means your bidding is helping the locker reach fair market value.
B) Don't think it's worth that much, but also don't want you to have it. If they're being that petty, then they deserve to overpay.

Also, keep in mind that the overall auction process is a competition with your other bidders, not just the individual auctions. These auctions are cash only, so if you get someone to pay more for one locker, that means they have less cash onhand to bid on the next locker, which may be one that you do want.

So it was made by indecisive counterfeiters?

THIS is the strategy. Deplete the funds of your competition so you can get later lockers cheaper.

Different channels and production companies, never happen. But oh God the potential.
