Storage Unit Black Lotus

[Falcon182]

So I was watching Storage Wars last night and one of the units someone bought had some old Magic cards in it. Unlimited {Black Lotus}, Beta {Timetwister} and an Unlimited Mox of some kind. They brought the cards to a booth at some convention and the dude said he'd give them $600 for all 3. Why can't stuff like this happen to me!? Also, the guy at the booth is a jerk for ripping them off. Haha

That is awesome. The balls required to scam on camera!

Those people did get ripped off, but I think that's part of the drama of the show. They were savvy enough to identify those extremely rare cards, but not savvy enough to get at least 1/4th what they're worth? Unlikely.

They brought in all the cards from the unit. A box of C/U and a binder of rares. The money cards were in the binder. I could see something like this happening if they know absolutely nothing about the cards, you bring it to someone who is supposed to be an expert (lgs, gaming convention booth, etc) and trust them to be honest.

Definitely wasn't staged for the show. The guy who found them is a total moron. He had no idea what they were worth and probably would have taken $100 if that's all he was offered.

Darrel. He also found a sword in the locker too and asked Brandon if he thought it went with the magic cards. Brandon was the one who said they should get them looked at, and he did most of the talking because apparently Darrel doesn't "speak geek".

I'm glad he got ripped off! I don't like him very much.

Lol. That's pretty funny. He thought the sword went with the Magic cards.

Whoa. I recorded it. Need to watch.

Show is a scam though. On YouTube there is a video showing them at a unit and they are never supposed to go inside, on first left to right sweep of the camera it's in original condition when camera sweeps back everything is opened, lol. Some editor must of got fired for that slip.
