Yeah, Dave isn't a shrewd businessman at all; he's more of a failure than anything. He had to close down his store a couple seasons ago, then opened up some sort of online store that I assumed failed as well. Now because he was pissed at his salary, he caused turmoil with the producers and got fired. So now he's out that job, and is stuck with a failing online business. If you don't account for what the show pays him, I bet he's lost a lot of money since the show began.

I like Barry too, but I wonder if his gimmick is more of an act? It seems he plays up a lot for the cameras, but is he actually like that in real life?

It's still a million times better than that other show where they find cars, cannons, and money in every locker. And all the buyers on that show are completely unlikable (even the auctioneer is).

Edit: Storage Hunters is the show; it's so poorly staged, it's pathetic. People try and get into fights in every episode, and every locker has some crazy crap in it... sure that's completely believable.
