This Guy Purchased A Tank On Ebay, But Didn’t Know It Contained A Fortune

Money In The Storage Unit

With the popularity of shows like Storage Wars, many people flocked to try their hand at buying storage units. For one man, the venture definitely paid off. A man named John attended an auction held by American Auctioneers which was featured on A&E’s popular TV show Storage Wars. John bid on an abandoned storage unit. If you’ve ever watched the show, you often aren’t able to see exactly what lies inside the unit before buying it. He ended up bidding $1,100 and had no idea what was inside. It turns out there was a blue Rubbermaid container that held rare coins and several gold and silver bars. It turns out that the find was worth around a reported $500,000.
