Ep 2. Breathalyze This

Storage Wars is a hit reality TV show that follows a group of professional buyers on their quest to find valuable items within abandoned storage lockers. Season 4 episode 2, entitled "Breathalyze This", focuses on the intense competition between the buyers and their race to find the most profitable locker.

As the episode begins, we see familiar faces from previous seasons such as Brandi, Jarrod, Darrell, and Barry, among others. Each of them has a specific approach when it comes to buying storage lockers, and they all have their own strengths and weaknesses. Some buyers prefer to gamble on cheap lockers with potential to yield big profits, while others have a more analytical approach, and look for lockers with specific items they know they can sell for a good price.

The episode revolves around the discovery of a particularly intriguing locker that has a strange odor emanating from it. The smell is overpowering, causing many of the buyers to think twice about bidding on it. However, there is one buyer who is determined to take a closer look. This buyer is Jeff Jarred. Jeff is a charismatic character, known for his aggressive bidding style and willingness to take risks on lockers that other buyers may overlook.

Despite the odor, Jeff manages to secure the locker with a winning bid, paying $2,000 for the unit. After gaining access to the locker, Jeff and his team discover that the smell is coming from thousands of dollars' worth of expired breathalyzers. Jeff recognizes the potential value of these items, and begins sorting through them, often making jokes with his team about the unexpected find.

After some extensive research, Jeff determines that the breathalyzers could be worth anywhere between $25,000 and $30,000. This is much more than he initially expected, and he is thrilled with the potential profit that the locker could yield. However, there is a catch. Jeff discovers that some of the breathalyzers may be sensitive to temperature changes, which could reduce their value significantly. He decides to take a gamble and put the items up for auction, hoping that the profits will outweigh the risks.

The auction scene is full of suspense, as Jeff's competitors try to outbid him for the valuable breathalyzers. The other buyers, each with their own strategies and tactics, are all vying for a piece of the action. The atmosphere is tense and competitive, with many of the buyers locked in a bidding war for their chance to win the lucrative locker.

Despite the intense competition, Jeff's gamble pays off. He is able to sell the breathalyzers for a substantial profit, well over what he paid for the locker. He has successfully turned a seemingly unremarkable locker into a goldmine, despite the challenges and potential pitfalls along the way.

The episode concludes with Jeff reflecting on his success, and what he has learned from the experience. He is satisfied with the risks he took and the rewards that came with it. As the credits roll, viewers are left to ponder on the unpredictable nature of storage lockers, and the exciting and often surprising treasures that lie within.
