An answer for question one:

The show is only going to showcase the bidding for the lockers that the people on the show that have signed an agreement to be on the show have won.

An answer for question two:

For some of these people they have made a career out of buying storage lockers before A&E, Spike TV, Tru TV, And the Travel Channel started airing these types of shows. You can win like the lottery with one of these lockers.

One answer for question three:

The owner of the locker dies, no other family member knows about the storage locker and then it goes up for auction.

I do not know what to say for number 4. The prices for the lockers have gone up since the show started and the people going are gambling that something super pricey is in the locker. It does not matter where you live, the price of storage lockers have gone up since the shows aired.

10% of the lockers on Average are going to be good lockers in the end.

You have to also ask the question how much is Jarrod and Brandi getting per show?? Do they need the money that A&E just pays them to keep the business they have open?

To Tina and all: I could never really like Storage Hunters as I found the fighting to be awkward and not in the other shows.

That one Barry locker was sold for 2.50 and not two bucks. That locker had 4 old glass fly trap things worth 2 grand. With only one item in that locker that was the wooden dresser that the people could see it is a pure gamble as to weather it is a was winner or not. A scratch off lottery ticket can easily more than 2.50, so not much money is lost if that locker was pure junk.

I do want agree with you on the pricing of the items, plus sometimes we only see them go through half a locker and then we have like the profit tally on just that part of the locker. I would like to see the final price they sold some of the items for.

A&E could be plant the lockers with some juicy stuff in them, but even in the end with the ratings they get they still wind up a winner.
