The destination — his very own spinoff shows. In , Weiss starred on Barry'd Treasure , traveling around the U. It lasted just eight episodes, while Storage Wars: Barry Strikes Back , a compilation show in which Weiss and former costar Kenny Crossley presented unseen footage from Storage Wars , made it ten episodes.
Unfortunately, Weiss was involved in a serious motorcycle accident. According to TMZ , he was struck by a car mid-ride and spent two months in a hospital in , some of that in the ICU and some of it recovering from back and femur surgeries. Upon his recuperation, he landed a gig as the "global brand ambassador" for California's Sherwood Valley casino.

While the couple's secondhand store, Now and Then, shut down according to Yelp!
That job got him involved with locker auctions and connected him with Barry Weiss, and Crossley was seen occasionally in early years of Storage Wars before he became a major buyer and main cast member for the last three seasons of the show. Not only did he delight at finding hidden gems in delinquent storage lockers, he expressed that joy with his infectious catchphrase — "Kenny do it!
Since the cancellation of Storage Wars , Crossley has been doing a lot of things, so to speak. According to his website , he launched a line of clothing bearing his indelible catchphrase, and he runs Jackie's Famous Pralines , a New Orleans-based nut-and-candy company.
Sometimes he just talks to the camera and reflects on current events, sometimes he talks about his Uber passengers, and other times he enjoys and describes junk food items from behind the wheel of his car, like fritters, Taco Bell chalupas, and Costco hot dogs.
Before he was Storage Wars ' self-proclaimed "King of Palmdale," Ivy Calvin a regular on the show from season five onward was a non-televised auction hunter, spending years traveling around the U.
And before that , he was a professional athlete, playing in the Arena Football League per the Los Angeles Times , and fighting in the mixed martial arts circuit. He competed in one match, winning a cage fight against Samu Samu. The whole auction-and-thrifting gig was at one time a supplement to his job as a high school football coach As of and according to its Facebook page , Grandma's Attic is still up and running in Palmdale, although it's shifted to more of an online venture because of COVIDrelated restrictions on nonessential store openings.
A largely private person, he spends a lot of time on social media promoting the more illustrious, individual items on offer at his shop. During her time in the Storage Wars franchise, Mary Padian performed a rare TV feat — she moved from a spinoff onto the main show, jumping from Storage Wars: Texas to Storage Wars proper during its fifth season.
In both iterations, her fellow residents of the locker auction subculture called her "The Junkster" because she wasn't afraid to get a little dirty to go for something valuable — dumpster-diving was an option for Padian. As of , Padian has kept up the work of looking for valuable items in dark and overlooked places and reselling them for a profit, operating Mary's Finds. She doesn't just stick to old stuff from Texas, however. Padian has frequently worked with Ubuntu Life , an organization that benefits special needs children in Kenya by selling handmade and traditional-style bracelets and bags.
Joining Storage Wars in season five were Rene Nezhoda, a veteran, self-assured German-American bidder and junk dealer, along with his wife and business partner, Casey. They'd already been surveying locker auctions for years in order to find attractive items to stock Bargain Hunters Thrift Store, their 7,square-foot secondhand store in Poway, near San Diego.
Now years past the end of Storage Wars , the shop remains an open and bustling business, according to Yelp! The Nezhodas generate interest by marketing the store themselves with a store-branded and on-brand YouTube channel. More than 90, subscribers watch their videos, which include live auctions, features about collection acquisitions, and unboxings.
