Mark Balelo - Storage Wars
 

Crazy http://news.yahoo.com/man-featured-s...010009286.html

that is crazy

He found a million dollar comic book that had been stolen from Nicolas Cage??? How weird is that.

That show is so faked it wouldnt surprise me if that comic story was fake as well. Shame about Mark, he seemed a little "off" from the get go always flashing his money around and being a know it all

Thousands commit suicide daily. What's so crazy about fake tv series actor doing it? Couldn't continue on living the lie maybe?

:2 cents::2 cents:

I never liked him in the first place

u're all screaming "fake, fake" like u're behind the show. as dave said, some episodes "might" me tricked ... not all is fake .. dumb fucks

Is that the douche that thought he had found a $10,000 Nintendo? Natural selection.

ROFL, yes .. he's the one :thumbsup:1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Exactly.

Nicolas Cage auctioned it off for 2 million. They had to give it to him. Seems like a lot of work for a fake story.

They want to make it a movie hahaha

"One of television's most popular shows, the A&E reality series "Storage Wars," has come under fire from one of its former stars who claims the show is nearly entirely fake."

" "[The] defendants ? would like the public to believe that the Series presents a genuine and accurate portrayal of the abandoned storage locker auction process," the lawsuit states. "The truth, however, is that nearly every aspect of the series is faked."

Hester alleges that producers "regularly plant valuable items or memorabilia" in the storage units on the show and have even gone "so far as to stage entire storage units."

Yea im sure theyre finding all sorts of treasures in storage units. Just like people go to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop from all over the country to get lowballed. Makes you wonder why no one just leaves and takes their stuff and put it on ebay...

Why are you guys crying about it being fake? You obviously watch it to know that it could be fake. Don't watch it. Problem solved.

Shit attracting flies.

Im def not complaining I personally watch it for the entertainment factor. But to say it is real is like saying the WWE is real too.

Love this show! both the original and the Texas one. Not so much on the NY one.

The guy that killed him self always seemed to need to inflate his ego, carrying around his "purse" of money. Its a bummer to hear he took his own life though.

As for if its faked who cares. I'm in it for Barty's bad jokes & how he says he needs to watch his spending when he He is the current Chairman & CEO of The Island Def Jam Music Group and Universal Republic Records.

The show is no more fake then any other reality based show.

I care more about the history hehind what shit they find, or to watch YUUUUUUP kick the shit outta the others.

I was wondering where Barry got his money. He obviously does it for fun.

ah i think you might be on the right track. when we were wondering where he got all the money we just pulled the name up on wiki. same name different person. It did seem like it could have been legit though, especially when he was taking music items to people like the drummer from the police.

Pawn Stars, Storage Wars, Tow shows - I think big part of scenes are staged.

So, you think The Gold and Silver guys should pay more ? It's a business, when all is said and done. The stuff could sit around for years, you cant flip everything instantly. Unless you have a decent markup, you wont stay in business for long:2 cents:

Definitely and I understand that 100%, im saying it from the perspective of it being fake because people travel there from half way across the country just to get low balled.

Too bad it wasn't the guy who goes yuuup!

ds

well, they actually pay a fair price, they call in the "experts" then fuck them selfes most of the time, because they end up paying more:winkwink:

Fake or not.. People watch it and enjoy it, It's a form of entertainment. Case in point: Porn.. 90% of the shit is fake.. yet everyone is still watching it..

Holy crap is that what he does?
I always thought he must have some money, as he was just keeping high ticket items.
Throwing away units that others in the show would have sold in their stores..lol

edit i see hes the mushroom king

my dads friend owns 6 storage unit locations in the Minneapolis metro. 6 years ago I saw him at my parents for a bbq, he said he had 22 lockers to go through and clean out from people not paying. He said if I helped I could pick 1 thing out and keep it no matter how much it was worth.

The best I could come up with at the end of the day was one of those shitty 1980's 8 ball leather jackets. Totally ripped off... he said people don't abandon lockers with valuable shit in them.

Yeah that is what i thought when I just did a wiki search on the name but looking further into it he is someone else. It was believable though.

Always amused those that actually had legit stuff in them were probably "abandoned" cause the person died or went to jail.

You should tell him that I will auction them for him. I will set up the business etc, and we split the money. This stuff is hot and everyone wants to be the guy who finds the next....

I don't think it is him is it? http://www.celebritynetworth.com/ric...iss-net-worth/

"Barry Weiss is an American reality television star and professional storage-treasure hunter who has a with a net worth of $9 million. Not to be confused with the music producer of the same name",

Yeah I looked into it more and its not actually him, but it was believable with the kinds of cars he shows up in.

Yeah defo especially when you see some of the dudes he has appraisals for him :1orglaugh

Exactly! didn't he have the drummer from the police, and someone from like U2 or something like that.

Only when the cameras are aimed at their fat sweaty faces. Naive much?

If I recall correctly lazycash goes to those auctions all the time and they aren't faked...

Actually NO, I know exactly how the business is works, been doing it since 1979:2 cents:

A&E also claims Hester is no victim, but in fact took part in "salting" storage units with valuable items
