Extreme Unboxing (2020)
Another misleading TV show
Watched 2 episodes and couldn't continue, if I say Storage Wars is meh, this one should be throw into the ocean. First, the editing is pathetic, you barely get 2 mins into one couple then it's moving to another one. Not that it is really worth watching for the whole section of that couple but still, really bad editing. Second, seriously, what's the purpose of the show? They are probably lost too. Buy bulk, open, randomly check online for "selling price" then mark their profit. That's so old. As a person who did storage auctions, and I am very picky about the ones I buy, I made some money, but about 80% of the stuff is junk. You can't just look up things and say ok I can sell this for this price and this is my profit, maybe cut 50% off, plus the time to list them online, dealing with buyers questions, then shipping. I felt so embarrassed to pick this show after a movie on a Friday night, because it is so shallow. Even storage wars shows you what they found, some were just set up in there but they would go test one thing or two to show the value. I understand the goods in this show is different but gosh, watching people buy bulk from a low rating scam website, watching them faking how much money they can make, ignoring how much junk they have in their house/warehouse/store is just painful. Not to mention there is nothing else in this show, all you got is to see people buy bulk junk, open them, pick out things and look up retail value, then come up with their own value or even just go with that retail value then say "oh this is the profit I'm making". It's just like you are having a garage sale and you are telling yourself everything will get sold then here is my price so I will make 2000 on my garage sale. In real life you make 300 maybe.
I saw the description of the show, I thought at least they would open the boxes, check everything, maybe find one or two things that is worth to watch for the audience, then see how much they can really sell those things for and maybe learn something like "market trend" or how to tell the value of something (with the help of Google and their experience). But no, just totally spins you around, jumping from one team to another before you realize it, open box, say "ok I can sell this for this price" then show you their investment amount and "profit". Boring, shallow, and sad.
In addition, anyone who wants to try this website, check their reviews first, seriously, that website is probably one of the lowest review website I've ever seen. Not to mention basically the show is just like 20mins commercial for a scam website.
