I was referring to the stupid comments that he made to get himself fired. Was watching the show tonight and as always it made me laugh at the values he put on the items. The other guy I don't really like, Darrell made a big score on some art.

*So he is in the wrong because he pointed out that what his bosses were doing was illegal and then got fired for it? (*assuming that his lawsuit is true) |

Was it illegal? I watched a couple shows last night and it really isn't a competition despite the numbers board at the end. Just a bunch of storage lockers bought and arbitrary numbers thrown out as values at the end. No real prizes for who wins or loses. They do the same thing with "Deadliest Catch", though in a most likely much less arbitrary way, in comparing the crab catches and deck hand wages for the different boats. |

Well my view is that he's been participating in the practices and getting paid for it for several years so he's just as guilty if it was illegal.

Any time I want something gone I just put it at the curb with a sign that says "$10 put payment in mailbox" and it is gone within a few hours [no money, of course]. I've put things put with "free" signs and they dont get taken.
I figure lots of things are staged on those shows; they'd have to be. In my experience the kind of person who abandons a locker doesn't have good stuff to begin with, though there are exceptions. But antiques and such every time, no way. I can see how a junk shop owner could make out if they buy at the right price. I also never bought the enmity between the bidders. Us card geeks are battle-hardened auction veterans. I've probably been to dozens of live auctions and participated in hundreds of online ones and I've never gone out of my way to 'stick' someone with a bad lot. No one takes that risk as a professional and I find it highly implausible that these supposed pro auction buyers get caught up in such petty BS; certainly has to be scripted.
