Getting storage for your belongings can be an extremely helpful way of storing items if you’re moving house, or even if you have a business – but sometimes these units become abandoned. That’s where the people featured on these television shows come in – units which have been abandoned go to auction with the highest bidder winning the contents. Below are some of the best things to ever be found in a Storage Wars unit.

‘My Little Pony’ collection

Jarrod and Brandi starred in the show back in 2014 and experienced a great win when they won a storage unit for $50 in one show. Inside was a complete My Little Pony collection – one of the best finds ever on Storage Wars. The pair took the collection to a valuer to be told it was worth almost $1000.

Mint condition comic book collection

Comic books in brand new condition are renowned for being of great value – so it’s no wonder Darrell Sheets knew he’d hit the jackpot when he won a unit containing a full comic book store inventory. It wasn’t just books in the collection, though. Darrell discovered original boxed action figures which had never before been touched – an incredible find and one of the best on Storage Wars.

Professional clown costume

One of the more odd things to be found on the show – Kenny discovered a full-blown professional clown costume with all the trimmings was in a storage locker he won. The costume came with shoes, loads of accessories and even a helium tank. In this episode of Storage Wars, Kenny meets a professional clown in a private club to see if the outfit is worth anything.

Collection of artwork

In season three of Storage Wars, bidder Darrell discovered a huge collection of art in his unit. It was a collection of work from contemporary artist Frank Gutierrez valued at around $300,000 making it the biggest and best find since the show began. But where and who did it come from? Whether it was a collector looking to sell on, or a fan, this abandoned unit was a huge loss but turned into Darrell’s gain.
