Ep 1. Stakes, Buys, And Video Games

In the season 10 premiere of Storage Wars titled “Stakes, Buys, And Video Games,” the familiar faces of the hit reality show return ready to bid on abandoned storage units throughout Southern California. The show features a group of seasoned auction hunters including Dan and Laura Dotson, Darrell Sheets, Ivy Calvin, Rene and Casey Nezhoda, and newcomer Kenny Crossley.

The episode opens with a bang as the team arrives at an auction in La Verne, California, eager to see what treasures they can uncover. Laura Dotson starts the bidding at $50, and the buyers quickly get into the spirit of things with some intense bidding wars.

As they move from storage unit to storage unit, the buyers have various reactions to what they find inside. Darrell Sheets is excited when he uncovers a piano in one unit, while Rene and Casey Nezhoda discover a box of valuable comic books in another. Ivy Calvin is thrilled when he discovers a high-end drone that he believes he can easily turn a profit on, and Kenny Crossley is excited about the potential of a large collection of video games he finds.

One unit, in particular, catches the eye of multiple buyers, with Dan Dotson calling it the “money unit.” The bidding quickly becomes heated as Darrell and Kenny both make bids, but ultimately it is Kenny who wins the unit with a bid of $2,250.

After the auction, the buyers head to their respective stores to start assessing their finds. Darrell Sheets is pleased to learn that the piano he found is worth upwards of $1,000, while the Nezhodas discover that the comic books they found could be worth as much as $3,000.

Kenny Crossley quickly turns his attention to the video games he purchased, hoping to make a quick profit. He brings in a gaming expert to help him assess the value of the games, but finds that many of them are worth less than he had hoped. However, the expert tells him that just one particular game is worth upwards of $1,000, giving him hope that he can still make a good profit from the unit.

Meanwhile, Ivy Calvin starts working on the drone he purchased, but quickly realizes that it is missing a crucial part. He sets out to find the missing piece, driving all around Southern California to various hobby shops. Despite his efforts, he is unable to find the right part and ends up losing money on the drone.

As the episode draws to a close, the buyers return to the auction site for the second round of bidding. They are joined by a new face, Barry Weiss, who was a former cast member of the show. The bidding gets even more intense than before, and the buyers are determined to come out on top.

Overall, “Stakes, Buys, And Video Games” is a thrilling premiere to season 10 of Storage Wars. The familiar faces of the show are as entertaining as ever, and the excitement of finding hidden treasures in abandoned storage units never gets old.
