The first casualty of reality tv is the truth
The bins are "salted". They put stuff in to liven up the programme. Ever noticed how only four guys ever win the auctions ?
"Hey, there is nothing in here but soiled undrwear, broken kids toys and porn. But what is this ? Oh look it is a collection of 100 rolex watches" .....
"So, bottom line mr jeweller, what are they worth?"
"$500,000"
"Not bad for a day's work on storage hunters. A $499,999 profit. We always do well in sh1tsville arizona. I had a feeling about that bin. You are buying the burgers/ ice cream/ ammunition "
