something to binge watch on the lazy Sunday or a lazy any other day we're not here to judge then we've got a reality show for you storage wars on Annie highlights the curious subculture of folks who attend auctions of storage lockers that are three months behind on rent for what purpose to sort through the lockers contents in hopes of finding the modern equivalent of buried treasure which the buyer will then sell themselves in an inception ask loop of auctioning and buying it is without any trace of irony a fascinating supremely entertaining watch a huge part of its appeal comes from its colorful cast of real-life characters who bounce off one another with unique chemistry that any network sitcom would go to war for given them a taste of what unscripted Fame one question remains what is the original cast of stores up to now a husband-and-wife team Dan and laura dotson were the main auctioneers of the entire run of storage wars their auction style was marked as classic fast-talking patter with the occasional reality TV friendly squabble with a bitter Laura also had an irresistible old-fashioned catchphrase don't forget to pay the lady now Dan and Laura run their own private auctioneering company called American auctioneers they offer up auctions to the general public throughout California most of which are typical legal sales and seized lockers but some of which have special themes like the cars stars and rock and roll event in February 2000 19 the couple also runs storage auctions net which acts as an online database and facilitator for storage facility auctions across the country in 2018 the Datsuns discovered that they sold a special Locker to a client for 500 dollars inside that locker 7.5 million dollars in cash the deal was made outside of the Datsuns commitments to storage wars but their co-star rene nezhoda theorized that it was likely cartel or mafia money thankfully since Dan's 2014 double aneurysm scare immortalized in storage wars episode the
