History Series / StorageWarsTexas

*** After Jerry gets Moe to a locker he and Lesa won, Lesa asks Moe to look at a piece in her locker. After looking and sniffing it, Moe tells her it's genuine teak. He also offers to buy it right there for $500 cash. [[spoiler: She accepts, but an appraiser Moe brings to his gallery gives the piece, a teak bar cabinet, a value of $3400. Lesa's not happy when she finds this out after stopping by his gallery.]]

** Ricky's mother, Puffy, is an expert in diamonds and a fanatic about jewelry. [[spoiler: She appraises 14 karat gold and diamond *with a "[=VS1=]" rating--''near-perfect diamond''* rings for about ''$49,000.'']]

* ButterFace: A type of locker, Victor explains, that doesn't look good to most, but still can be profitable. The locker Victor gets in "Mary's New Hoopty Ride" is descibed as this, filled to the brim with items that can be sold at a "dollar store"--and sold back to one such store for resale. [[spoiler: It's enough to win that episode.]]

%% * GettingCrapPastThe Radar: Due to overwhelming and persistent misuse, GCPTR is on-page examples only until 01 June 2021. If you are reading this in the future, please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.
* [[GonnaNeedMoreX Gonna Need More Cash:]] Before going to a unit of a local deceased tycoon in "The Good, The Bad and The Hungry," Lesa gets more cash from the bank to compete for that unit. She even uses [[MoreDakka gun-based comparisons]] about it. [[spoiler: She wins the unit and finds a trove of designer goods with the price tags on them. The profit, $6248, is enough for her to have the highest profit for the episode.]]

* GutFeeling: "Bounty Hunter Bubba Fett" had Bubba bid and win a locker that would have some [[Franchise/StarWars Boba Fett]] action figures, not just in original packaging, but also in fiberglass protective boxes. All because ''he had a good feeling about that locker.'' Ricky was worried, then shocked when [[spoiler: the action figures net a profit of $8,225. (At first he wasn't sure if Bubba's gut feeling was right, then amazed when the profit showed how right it was).]]

** Victor falls victim to this in "Mo' Money, Moe Prigoff" thanks to Moe. The locker in question is full of household stuff and Victor says he has an upper limit he's willing to pay. What he doesn't know is that Moe wants to drive the price up to screw Victor over. They go back and forth until they reach Victor's limit, at which point he says that he's done and just wants to drive the price up to screw Moe. More bidding ensues and Victor starts pointing at Moe, expecting him to make a higher bid. He keeps pointing and pointing, until [[OhCrap it dawns on him]] that he fell victim to his own game. [[spoiler: The whole thing backfired on Moe, though, as the locker contained four antique clocks which Victor was able to sell for a profit.]]
** He ends up again falling victim to this in "Bubbapocalypse Now" by Bubba, who had been mind-victimized by Victor earlier (and lost money on a locker then). [[spoiler: This time, though, the African-American Barbies he finds aren't enough to keep him from posting a loss.]]

** Even with his rivalry with Lesa, he's able to recognize one item she has as a paintball gun, and helps set up an appraisal of it for her. [[spoiler: This backfires on him massively as it's appraised higher than what he thinks it is. He proceeds to spend two minutes being pelted with pink paintballs.]]

* [[NiceToTheWaiter Nice To Your Artist:]] Moe gives Mary, the artist who turns much of what he gets from his locker into sellable artwork at his gallery, her fair share of the profits from it ($1500 was her share). Even though by doing so, the announcer hinted, it cost Moe the title of "winner of the auction." [[spoiler: That goes to Victor, who found valuable clocks in the locker that Moe dumped on ''him.'' (See HoistByHisOwnPetard on the main page)]] Moe offers to take Mary to a storage auction--with the hint that perhaps more stuff that can be made into art might be had from it.

* GutFeeling: "Bounty Hunter Bubba Fett" had Bubba bid and win a locker that would have some [[StarWars Boba Fett]] action figures, not just in original packaging, but also in fiberglass protective boxes. All because ''he had a good feeling about that locker.'' Ricky was worried, then shocked when [[spoiler: the action figures net a profit of $8,225. (At first he wasn't sure if Bubba's gut feeling was right, then amazed when the profit showed how right it was).]]

** It can also be considered a ShoutOut to StarWars considering one the franchise's recurring catchphrases.

* RichIdiotWithNoDayJob: Averted with the original buyers. Victor and Lesa buy lockers for inventory in their shops. Ricky, as well as being the local fire chief at his volunteer fire department holds a monthly sale. Jerry works with Lesa and Bubba with Ricky. Besides his own antique store, Moe is also a podiatric surgeon (thus why he is subtitled "The Doc" in the credits).
** Possibly played straight with Roy Williams, who is a retired NFL player.
** Averted again with Mary (who turns what's in a locker into artwork if she can't sell it right out), and Jenny (who refurbishes furniture for resale).
* TheRival: Moe and Victor.
** Lesa and Victor, as well.
** It's fair to say that Victor has some form of this with everyone else on the show.
** In Season Three, it seems to be mostly Jenny and Victor. And Lesa and everyone.
** Guest bidders Matt and Kenny have gotten into it on more than one occasion.
* ShoutOut: Victor tries to channel Series/TheMentalist in deciding whether to go for a locker based on what he can feel from it.

* SmugSnake: Victor.

* NiceShoes: Moe just loves his colorful shoes, as shown in "Bounty Hunter Bubba Fett".
** Walt sports some really nice snakeskin boots.

* NiceHat: Ricky and Bubba are almost always seen with one each. Ricky wears a cowboy hat, whereas Bubba wears a standard cap. They have only removed their hats a few times between them. Part-time buyer "Cowboy" Matt Blevins also has one, owing to his RedBaron.
