... Claims that the show 'Storage Wars' is fake and that it has cost him $750,000 in lost revenue.

The show did one thing for certain, created a mass migration to storage auctions as I've heard a few of the locals openly complain on FB and there was even a piece on the local news. I guess if I was in the business I'd be pretty pissed too if hundreds of bidders were showing up because they thought it was easy and that they could make a quick buck.
I know one guy who comes to the flea market every week with a batch of something different. Sometimes it might be a couple of pallets of detergent. It's hard work.

He crapped in his own nest. The show brought to light the business of buying rental units and glamorized it. People now think they can get rich quick by being just like Dave. Apparently he liked the money for being on the show, his business grew. I don't feel sorry for him, especially since he bit the hand that was feeding him. They kicked him off the show, now he wants more money. Sour grapes.

"Sometimes it might be a couple of pallets of detergent."
On those days he's REALLY cleaning up.
Right here is where Hester's lawsuit is going to fall apart (emphasis mine):
the Communications Act of 1934 […] makes it illegal for broadcasters to rig a contest of intellectual skill with the intent to deceive the viewing public.*
There's no way Storage Wars could ever be considered "a contest of intellectual skill."
*From pages 1 and 2 of the actual lawsuit as filed with the Superior Court of the State of California.

It probably is fake. If you notice that the Texas show has roughly the same type characters. One being flamboyant.

Did you see the flamboyant one drinking BBQ sauce? FAJITA!

I would like to be a writer for that show:
"Well, it looks there's nothing of value in this storage locker I just bought for $950. Damn, it's just junk -- an old car battery, some hubcaps and a rusty Schwinn bicycle. But wait, what's that shinny object I see underneath that pile of boxes in the far corner of the locker? Is it? No, it can't be. YES, IT IS! It's a rare 1909 Honus Wagner baseball card worth over a MILLION DOLLARS! Yahoooooo!"

Barry once told Jarrod, there is nothing better than a cigar dipped in brandi
A&E first pulled this crap with their 'Flip this House' program and were sued and lost.

No matter what....yes, all reality shows are fake to some degree. Even if the subject is happening for real, the interactions and production is set up at the very least. But the majority is basically pro wrasslin.

Yep, Pawn Stars...and the rest. :lol:
