I actually stopped doing it because of those TV shows. Before the shows there was a small group of people that showed up at a lot of the auctions and the units went for reasonable prices. After that show became a hit a lot of people started showing up and bidding outrageous prices because they assumed every unit was going to have some kind of hidden treasure in it. It made it hard to make a profit.
