In the episode "Valley Hangover" of Storage Hunters season 1, the bidders are in San Fernando Valley, where they have a shot at a number of storage units that have been put up for auction. The first locker they open belongs to a musician and the bidders encounter a variety of instruments. However, they aren't the only ones interested in the storage unit and the competition quickly heats up.
There are also a number of lockers that contain what appear to be junk, but Jeff and Brandon think that there might be something valuable hiding out of sight. They take a gamble on a locker full of records and are thrilled when they find a couple of hidden gems amongst the dusty vinyl.
Meanwhile, Jesse's competitiveness gets the better of him and he finds himself in a bidding war with Jeff on a unit that he may have gotten too emotionally attached to. As the bidders go head-to-head, the tension builds and it becomes clear that emotions are running high.
However, not every locker is a win. Lori and Brandon find themselves with a unit filled with nothing but old clothes and kitchen appliances. While Lori is convinced that there isn't anything of value inside, Brandon has a few tricks up his sleeve and starts digging through the pile, hoping to find something to turn a profit.
Ultimately, the bidders have to weigh the potential value of the units against their ability to turn a profit. Some take a risk on units that could be a bust while others play it safe and go for the sure bet. It's a high-stakes game and the bidders are all hoping to walk away with a score that will make their trip to the Valley worth it.
