Hammer falls on Storage Wars

SARA HOLLYMAN

Although there will be no television cameras at this Sat urday’s Storage Wars auction, the suspense and anticipa tion is bound to be just like the hit television show.

Auctioneer John Walker says it is run the exact same way as the american show.

At least six containers will go under the hammer on Saturday after the owners failed to set up payment plans for their hireage, which is now more than 12 months in arrears.

John says the doors of the cotainers will be open one at a time for between two and five minutes, with noone allowed to enter them or touch any item.

Bidding will then begin immediately and what you see is what you get, or is it?

John says, while he doesn’t know what’s in any of the containers, he has been told that some of them are stacked right to the front so, you can’t see what’s in the back.

“You don’t know what’s in them, this is the exciting thing, sometimes you open it up and just go ‘wow’.” he says.

John says in a previous container auction, when they opened the doors there was an rx7 rally car and a spare motor.

“People have found actual gold inside, too.”

Any personal documentation that is found such as family photos, passports etc. is to be handed back to the auctioneer.
