Over the course of the show the Gambler — who is already showing up for the second time on our list — has found other ways to make bank besides dealing in rare art. In this case, it came in the form of a comic book and toy collection that he purchased back in Season 5 which he literally dubbed the "Holy Grail of toys.
The locker contained an endless supply of G. Joes, Hot Wheels, and a whole host of other collectible dolls and toys, along with an absolutely massive collection of comics — we're talking 3, books, which Mr. Sheets valued at approximately ten dollars a piece. The haul? Video games, video games The collection was monstrous, filling up a large locker and clearly assembled by a collector who knew their stuff.
Throughout the very long process of adding up the endless procession of vintage entertainment pieces, it quickly became apparent that this wasn't just a massive pile of surplus. There was nary a duplicate in the mix, with the dusty pile of memorabilia containing everything from rare Sega Genesis games to a copy of the NES game Bubble Bobble Part 2 that was worth several hundred dollars on its own. Kotaku broke down some of the particular gaming treasures in their coverage of this incredible find.
Another locker that Rene Nezhoda and his wife Casey picked up during Season 6 paid astronomical dividends. This time though, rather than vintage games, the haul had much more of a Night at the Museum vibe to it. The collection ended up including among other things pictures, model ships, artistic flower pots, and statues. And they weren't just from one locale, either — some of the pieces hailed from places as distant as Africa and Asia.
It was the kind of event that "you chase your whole career," as Rene put it. By the time all was said and done, the jubilant couple was practically standing in a museum. Backing things up again to the early moments of Season 2, in the second episode of the season Dave Hester, fresh off his Season 1 Elvis Presley newspaper find, weaseled his way into another locker that ended up paying big dividends.
It was the combination of the furniture items of that first unit and the music player that was also a vintage version that resulted in a huge net profit for Brandi.
From some old furniture items and a vintage record player? Things have changed on Storage Wars, though. The only difference is that they are not working with one another anymore. Over 12 seasons, the cast of Storage Wars made some interesting finds between them. From an entire beekeeping kit to a massive My Little Pony collection to a World War II minesweeper to an entire comic book collection, the group found items inside abandoned storage lockers owned by people from all walks of life and with all sorts of interests over the years.
There have been plenty of very valuable lockers the group have bid on as well. Yes, that is the correct amount of zeroes. But those pale in comparison to the massive profit one locker resulted in. People may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website.
