History Awesome / StorageWars

** In the second episode, "Portrait of the Gambler," while Jarrod was complaining about [[SelfFulfillingProphecy the curse of Montebello]], Barry was '''literally''' [[Funny/StorageWars bidding blind]], and Dave got caught in the latter's shenanigans, requiring Creator/RoyRogers (memorabilia) to lasso him out of the hole, Darrell "The Gambler" Sheets made out like a bandit, even better than his previously-listed moment at that city. "Wow" doesn't even ''begin'' to describe it: [[spoiler:Darrell put $3600 in the last locker of the day. StarWars figures from 1980 and a signed Oakland Raiders football helped pay for the unit, putting an entire museum room of artwork by Frank Gutierez into the profit category. The expert he consulted put the collection at '''''$300,000''''', an '''All. Time. High!''' for the show.]]

* Dave shelling out $750 for a locker with nothing but newspapers... that happen to be from the week Elvis died. Turns out they're appraised at $90,000.

** Though Dave got most of the lockers in the first episode, he passed up one that fell to part-timer Jeff Jarred for $5. Jeff got $200 in furniture, and $1700 in ornaments! 38000% Return on Investment; only Barry ever gets those percentages (see above)! To top it off, he even bid up Dave on a Beekeeper's locker, preventing the latter from profiting off of it.[[hottip:*:Hence, the title: "Tustin, Bee have a Problem." Dave still made 3-to-1 on the ''other'' locker he bought.]]

* The famous Frank Gutierrez locker from "Portrait of the Gambler". Darrell bought the locker for $3,600, and found it full of Frank Gutierrez paintings. He took the painting to an appraiser, who said the paintings were valued at ''$300,000'', leading to the biggest profit ever on the show, dollar-wise.

* Dave shelling out $750 for a locker with nothing but newspapers... that happen to be from the week Elvis died. Turns out they're appraised at $90,000. Dave's profit from this one locker is a few hundred dollars shy of ''everyone else's total from the entire season '''combined'''''.

* The famous Frank Gutierrez locker from "Portrait of the Artist". Darrell bought the locker for $3,600, and found it full of Frank Gutierrez paintings.

* ManipulativeEditing at play no doubt, but Dave's grand return from a mini-hiatus in Season 3, showing up in mid-auction and making blind bids ''as he is still walking up'', winning the auction, '''and''' turning a profit on it to boot.

* With Dave at another auction, Darrell goes on a buying spree in "The Full Monty-Bello", spending $3,000 on three lockers and coming away with just over $21,000, ''septupling'' his investment.

* Dave shelling out $750 for a locker with nothing but newspapers... that happen to be from the week Elvis died. Turns out they're appraised at $90,000. Dave's profit from this one locker is a few hundred dollars shy of ''everyone else's total from the entire season '''combined'''''.

* Barry's locker in "Not Your Average Bear" was described by every bidder as looking like complete junk. No one wanted it. Barry threw out a bid of $2.50 and won the locker. The locker turned out to have several antique fly traps worth $2,000, meaning Barry finished the day with an ''80,000%'' profit on his investment.

* Jarrod managed to trick Dave out of a locker by having Brandi bid on it. Everyone was shocked to learn that Jarrod was married and that he's married to her.

* Barry's BatmanGambit to force Mark to bid $3,500 on a locker in "Enemy of My Enemy." Dave and Darrell are in on it, pretending to try and drag Barry away before he got stuck with the locker himself. It was an attempt on Barry's part to make Mark burn his cash faster, leaving something for the regulars to bid on.
