Calvin adopted the name “The King of Palmdale” after starting his business, to boast about his successful auctioning, and the store has actually proceeded to become some kind of a tourist attraction, welcoming many customers including “Storage Wars” fans, who are always on the look-out for one-of-a-kind items.
