* EpicFail: Subverted hard in "East River Gold" by Chris and Tad. There was a locker practically filled with garbage bags. Chris attempts to bid up people, but unfortunately, they win the locker for $550. Everyone is laughing at Chris, Tad is furious, and even John Luke states in disbelief that Chris paid that much. However, they find an Italian-made sidewalk steam cleaner in the locker, and despite it being in bad condition, was still worth $1,200, and earning them a $690 profit to win the episode.

!!This series provides examples of:

* [[ArrogantKungFuGuy Arrogant Storage Auction Guy]]: While Joe P is too competent to be a full SmugSnake yet, he's very haughty of his achievements and is dismissive to pretty much everyone.
* {{Auction}}: Just like ''Series/StorageWars'' and ''Series/StorageWarsTexas''.
* ButtMonkey: Brandon
* ConfessionCam
* DirtyOldMan: While appraising the binoculars he has, Joe focuses it on two women walking by.
** And also takes some photos of Candy and Courtney when walking by in high-cut skirts.
** He also flirts with Candy:
---> '''Candy:''' What are ''you'' looking for today?
---> '''Joe P:''' I don't know. Looking for you.
---> (Candy laughs.)
---> '''Candy:''' (in Confession Cam) He might be a player, but he's staring at me all day, he's gonna get played.
* DumbMuscle: Brandon, Mike's moving guy.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Joe P gets a good one in the first episode. He talks about his achievements in this field, has a Shaft-like singing for him while he does so and gets the biggest score of the day with some artwork to show he is TheHeavy for the show.
* {{Expy}}: Taking cues from both ''Storage Wars'' and ''Storage Wars: Texas'' casts:
** John Luke - Dan/Walt (Though John is more no-nonsense than his counterparts)
** Joe P - Shades of Dave ("Legend" status)/Barry's "sense" (though he's much better than Barry at that department) and Moe
** Mike - Shades of Darrell's "Gambling" gimmick
** Candy and Courtney - Jarrod and Brandi (As they too have a store and not much cash to throw around)
** Chris and Tad - Chris has Victor/Dave's {{Jerkass}} tendencies, Tad has Barry's coolness, and the guys refurbish furniture like Jenny.
* GenkiGirl: Candy.
* GutFeeling: Joe makes his name on it.
* InMemoriam: "I've Got a Bridge to Sell You in Brooklyn" is dedicated to "Tex" Braiotta, Mike's dad, who'd appeared in "Straight Outta Connecticut." (Mike's Twitter account said he "said goodbye" to Tex Dec. 27, 2012.)
* NewYorkCity: Where this spinoff takes place. They even get a remake of the "Money Owns This Town" song.
** The song's remake, however, is more horn-and-drum / bow-chick-a-bow-bow beat and rhythm, instead of the guitar-and-harmonica sound for the original ''StorageWars'' and ''StorageWarsTexas'' music.
* OhCrap: Chris talks about "their kind of customer" and a voice says, "Hey, I'm here!" Chris quickly goes "Oh, sorry!" as a "sad trombone" plays.
* PimpedOutDress: While not outrageously pimped out, Candy and Courntey do dress up for the auctions, both as a tactic and to advertise their business.
* PyrrhicVictory: Joe P outbids Chris and Tad for a $4,000 locker, only to take a loss of $2,875. (The taxi meter was only worth $400, and the rest of the locker not coming close to covering the cost. "The only thing THIS taxi's driving me to...is tears.")
* ReallyGetsAround: Candy, if all those DoubleEntendre(s) are correct.
** Candy is supposedly a former Internet porn star, soo....
* RecordNeedleScratch: Plays when the appraiser of Candy/Courtney's dance shoes tells them they could be worth up to $2000 but the ones they have will only bring about $100 at best.
* SirSwearsalot: Both Chris and Mike.
* SexSells: Candy and Courtney
* TheSmartGuy: Joe P has the tricks of the trade from his years of experience (He brings a blacklight with him and stealth bids to keep Chris guessing on who is bidding against him.
* WeBuyAnything: If Mike can flip it for cash fast, he'll buy anything.
* YoungGun: Candy and Courtney have the least amount of experience (and money) of the buyers.
