Default Auction Shows

Is anyone else a fan of the "reality" shows where people bid on storage units and then try to sell whats inside?

I hate to admit it, but I have become a fan of the shows "Storage Wars" and "Auction Hunters". They look very staged at times, but I just can't seem to change the channel.

I agree. Out of the three similiar shows, I have only seen Storage Wars and Auction Hunters. I have not seen the third show, which is called Storage Hunters (I think).

Out of the two I have seen, Storage Wars is more real. It follows 4 or 5 people around. Sometimes they make money, sometimes they lose money, and sometimes they don't win the auction.

Auction Hunters is more entertaining, but looks really staged. It seems that every storgae unit they get has a motorcycle, snowmobile, hoverboat, jet ski, car, or some time of vehicle in it.
