Great show, two very down to earth and likable guys. The show follows them as they drive around in a delivery van they no doubt bought at a city auction. They go to self-storage centers. Apparently, these places have regular auctions of the contents within abandoned units. You can't touch - you can just take your flashlight and look at the contents for a minute before bidding begins. If you win, you have 24 hours to haul the stuff away. Very believable reality show. These guys always come up with hidden treasures and manage to get at least 5x what they paid for. Then, they haggle as they try to sell their goods at various establishments that deal with antiques or they place an ad online. Very entertaining. This should motivate anyone to try this themselves. Seems like a good way to make at east $500 in extra cash per month. I myself have found treasures at garage sales and flea markets that are worth 10x; even 100x more than I paid for them. I realize that this show features only the best of the best and that they don't always come up winners. Even on the show, though, there are cases where they were overlooked by the auctioneer or got stuck with a unit full of worthless junk. Check this show out - it does't involve egocentric weirdos that look like they escaped from a circus. Just a guy that looks like your average TV personality and a beefy guy with a bald, tattooed head (Okay, he does look a little circus-like.). They are both low-key and keep it real.
