I've been in the storage industry for years and this is very common. People won't let go of stuff , never go through it , and waste their social security $$$ , thinking someone will want it later . It's helped me to be more judicious in getting rid of my own crap .
True
I live in Florida, and Storage is big business here. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that if I moved to a different house or apartment, and "stuff" just doesn't work in the new place for whatever reason, donate it to one of the charity thrifts (also very big here). I'm not even willing to put up a table outside and have a yard sale. It's just not worth it.
It just gets to be too much. I have kept things just because it was new and you never know when you can use one. After years of keeping crap I have decided that I'd rather throw it away and buy it years later if I really need to. Chances are, I won't need to and I'd rather have the space.
I hear you there. Just be careful what you get rid off .
I made that mistake. Cost me several thousand dollars in Civil War stuff.
Make sure you inventory meticulously.
If she loved her stuff, paying yo rent aunit is no problem.
This makes me extremely sad. When my parents passed, my sister and I went through every closet and box and drawer. Laughed and cried along the way. Spilt everything up, donated some. If possible, we'd have kept it all. All those memories
Bless you - my sister, brother, and I did the same with love.
I was thinking gold digger. He is treating her stuff like crap. I would be respectful but all he wants is money money
My sister and I did the same thing. Lots of treasures from times gone by.
@@ces3634 he seen the loose change and just mention money money
@@ncg5560 It’s nice for you both to share. Some sisters DON’T.😪
This is why I am continuously getting rid of stuff.
I need to do a major purge of my “stuff” it is valuable to me, but not to my nephew or his kids. I don’t want it to go to the dump when I am gone.
One man's garbage is another man's treasure.
Looks like my sheds. Full of expectations, gifts and dreams. Our 5 kids don't visit or bring grandchildren or great grandchildren around. I'm purging and getting rid of my collections myself. Yes very sad
So sorry to hear that.
Oh that's so sad to hear. 😟
I hear this all the time. It's a shame cause life isn't about what they have going on.
My daughter from 17 preferred to be with her dad .same left alone till this day I'm losing my eyesight.i did buy gifts the first yr ,then I got sent a tenner for Xmas 2020 ,not even a phonecall. Where is the love?
I'm so sorry you are going through this. It's awful.
Well I'm about 5 minutes in and what i can see so far, based on the facts presented,( Kids didn't want it)....is a lonely old lady who brought Christmas gifts for everyone every year and spent all her Christmases alone...how sad!!
So heartbreaking! 😥😥😥
@Angie Cardwell or hoarder and kids were just fed up and distanced themselves from the chaos.
😔
@Angie Cardwell I hope not but it's a possibility. Either way, very sad.
I think she had a store
22:24 the pink bead bracelet withe the name. They gave those to babies in the hospital in the 50-60's .
Still have mine in my baby book
I am currently going thru my stuff and getting rid of things that I didn't really want to. I would pick something up and ask myself " do I really want my daughter to have to carry this stuff around from move to move with her when I pass?" When I look around and picture someone having to go through the stuff it gets me motivated to get rid of it!
Yes, thank you. I have a mother that doesn't give a damn about me having to sort out her stuff and she just keeps buying more. I looks like she is obsessed or has an addiction to buying stuff. No matter what i say or do...she just keeps on. I get told all the shit, but never the nice stuff. I am so tired being ym mother's mum ! The one I never had.....
Yes, my parents stuff after all 3 of us siblings had been through the big house and my father's carers had after (we let them) and then the people buying the house did, still had 7 tonnes left - about 2.5 times a normal house the house clearance company said. They recycle and resell what they can and tip the rest. They found a medical skeleton from the 19840s a real one of my father's. We thought we had been through every single cupboard in a very big house but this was in the loft of the garage. Anyway they threw it out as apparently if they had notified the authorities it can hold up a house sale for 3 months (it was definitely from his medical school days, not a murder). These days young doctors work on plastic ones.
Well done. What you describe is known as Swedish Death Cleaning. Give away things to your kids, that they want, now and sell or donate the rest.
my father divested himself of all of the "sentimental" stuff when mom went into the hospital. all the photos, all her keepsakes. It was "her junk." I got a check, but not one of the items my mom told me she'd be leaving to me when she died. Everything was sold or trashed. All of our baby pictures, etc. the ruby birthstone ring she was so proud of, and left to me, wasn't worth very much money. But considering how much they sold it for, I would have loved to actually HAVE IT. She was reduced to her belongings, which were then all sold to strangers. (BEFORE she died, mind you) I have a photo of her. That's it. Not sure about their family relationships, but I would have LOVED to have had any of the things my mother saved hoping to give them to me. (None of the items were expensive, or actually moved that bottom line for him.) Now....that said, my mom wasn't much of a hoarder. She didn't have storage units full. So, THAT may have had something to do with it, as well. I WOULD have gone through that; and yes, probably sold MOST of it. No way would I have gotten rid of a few of those pieces. So, sentimental yes, but also not much of a hoarder. My practicality lead me to claim my grandmother's old mixer. I used it thoughout my life, and then when my daughter entered cooking school, it's the one she used. She's now a professional baker. We still have the mixer, though it's now an antique.....still works like a Kitchen Aid should. YES It's over four decades old. Some stuff you just don't throw away.
Some people can be so cold. I agree 💯 with your sentiments. I can't imagine being left with only one photo of my mother ON PURPOSE, but it is almost exactly what I have. I feel for you & I'm sorry that you were denied the few sentimental items your mother held onto for you. Thank god they can't steal our memories & the love in our hearts. Many blessings to you. ❤️🧡💜
What your father did was cruel and selfish 😢
My family does not want anything I have. Im old & have saved many things that belonged to my mother's family. There are a few valuable pieces, but most just ordinary home things. I know for sure my survivors wont want any of it. I hate to start selling, but I know they will just hired someone to come clean out the stuff & sell the house.
This sounds crazy but I can relate to the lady & her hoard. #1 she was filling a void in her heart. Her children wanted nothing to do with her, she felt abandoned. Bless her heart, R.I.P.🤗❣🙏😭💋
Yes, all those little baubles and trinkets were the consolation prize. I agree with you.
@@MrRusty145 I have Precious things I held onto for my sons (future wives & "grandchildren ". My Mom passed adding to the antiques treasures. Only 1 son is married, no children nor will that happen. The ither son has never married, doesn't plan on it ever, and no, no kids either.
I find myself in a quandry. I've had plans all my adult life. Now 70, single.. no grandchildren, ever 😭😤 How/what to do with my life's treasures. Selling is too painful, giving away is impossible. Throwing away is emotional suicide. I am in pure panic with a full garage and a storage unit I can't afford due to our inflation. I am literally sick to my stomach. Can't move/retrieve anything by myself. This life did not turn out as planned. I just want to run away, but can't afford to. God Help us all🙏
Donate things to a local good cause. We have a humane society Thrift Store in our town. The proceeds help animals . Someone will collect your donations. Reach out. Help our animal friends. ♥
@@kathysiebert6654 Maybe find one friend or confidant to help you pick out stuff your kids definitely won't want. Donate those things there are lots of options depending on where you live, some thrift stores will come to pick your stuff up. Then try again on your kids without getting your hopes up too high. Then , pick just a few things, polish them up and keep them with you. With what's left, yard sale it. Just my suggestion, I was thinking it might be easier than hustling all the stuff at once, hurting your back, etc. Plus maybe the thrift store guy can give helpful advice. But please don't hurry or stress, it'll get done in good time.
@@MrRusty145 Truly, I thank and welcome your input. What you suggested is spot on! I wished someone like you were my friend and were close!
All of us have a story, mine is long. Much trauma, abandonment & abuse since childhood. Rhuematic fever as preschooler in early 1950's... found out age 55 how bad it hurt my heart. An ex damaged my kidneys, eyes/vision and left me in financial ruin. I gave up on love and 2 faced friends. Very isolated now and struggling, with UC causing deep depression agoraphobia. My home used to be spotless! I don't have a pickup or trailer. Nor can I afford to rent + laborers. I stay curled up on the couch froze with panic & anxiety. My kidneys are at a GFR of 30! With current inflation (SSI) it's pay ck to pay ck and I'm not making it! I believe in my Faith. God is great every day. I pray for answers, miracles. I need to find some happy before my time comes. The clock is ticking. I'm overwhelmed with no relief in sight. If you pray, please include me. I need an Earth Angel. 😥😪🙏
GEEEZE GUYS!!! The wooden roller isn’t a massage thing, it’s a ravioli roller!
😂😂😂
This is triggering me. My mom had boxes and boxes of junk and rooms filled with junky knick knacks. She loved every piece, going through all of it was complicating my grief process. I didn't want it, didn't know what to do with it and it felt incredibly disrespectful to load it up and donate it. Losing her was hard enough!
I know the feelings..🙏
Though grieving is the hardest just assuming stuff was junk or useless is what makes lots of money fore this sort of guy.
My dad had boxes and boxes and more boxes of what appears to be 1000s of toy model car kits.
It turned out to be just over $200,000 of model cars and accessories that took a year to sell off but well worth the frustrations and a break from the grieving.
Sorry for your loss
Donating all the stuff, which gives it all the possibility of another home, isn't disrespectful. Tossing it.all out would be.
I'm speaking as a person very much like your mother.
However, I tell my friends (we're in our late 50s) that when my time comes, I promise that wherever I am, I truly am not going to care! 😉
...and I am sorry for your loss. My mom will be 92 in November, and when she moved to a condo a few years ago, I had a hard enough time going through her stuff and watching her chuck most of it with a definitive, "Out it goes!"
That was with her here...I can't imagine what this must be like for you.❤
@@luvmyrecords I would rather it be done when I am dead and gone. My son and oldest daughter went through my stuff and threw things away and sold some things. Instead they could have helped me organize and decorate (I have nothing hanging on the walls) and could have made me feel alive and loved. But didn't...I felt dead and a bother.
Personally, I would prefer that my elderly parent spend that monthly storage fee unit money on a maid service, meal delivery, home maintenance, yard care, home health or an activity that he/she enjoyed rather than paying for a unit filled with stuff that even the parent didn't have a place for.
I agree
I used to work in an antique store in the 1990s to the early 2000s that housed 132 individual antique dealer's booths. The antique dealers would mainly go to estate sales, which most of the time it would be an older person who died, and left tons of things never used or things that were 60, 70 etc. years old in remarkable condition. It doesn't mean necessarily the person was a hoarder. A lot of people went through the depression, and that generation didn't throw anything away. A hoarder is a person who is mentally ill, and they pack their homes with complete garbage and junk to the point its beyond unlivable. If you watch those reality shows on real hoarders, you will understand there is a difference. The problem is the trend today, especially among millennials, is to lump people who accumulated things over many, many years in their lifetimes or just being an antique collector to be mislabeled a hoarder. For years people understood the difference, but now if you don't live your life following a Maoist like philosophy, which everyone must conform, which is ultra-minimalist MOD, lifeless, and sterile homes and interiors, then you are lambasted and ridiculed. HGTV, has become an example of that BS conformity. I'm so grateful to those generations who accumulated things over the years and didn't throw anything away becuase of them, we have tangible pieces of history left for posterity. They were unknowingly being historic preservationists.
so true- the items were not soiled or garbage- the deceased probably had a large house originally
Perfectly said! You said everything I had been trying to say :) Historic Preservationist is the word! Hoarder is just hoarder of a lot of useless grotty junk, definitely huge difference. I have kept a lot of stuff of value that I hope people will realise is valuable in the future and forms part of the more recent history (I'm from the later generation, born in 1979) and I have discovered things I have that still work, are no longer made or no longer made in good quality and it made me realise how glad I was to have kept these things like some art materials/equipment for my art studio. I'm so glad to read your comment and that you are grateful to those who preserved things no longer made :) exactly what I have been thinking for awhile! :)
I like your point. I also like valuable things (but not hoarding useless things) And it is funny how you said the homes of the minimalists are sterile and lifeless. When I look at their videos, they have nothing of value, just store decor that is so lame. Looking at the exteme minimalists reminds me of Claus Shwab and his "by 2030 you will own nothing and you will be happy about it". When I travel, I live with 1 suitcase and trust me, the walls are bare, everything is cheap décor, and I want to go home! I can't imagine living in a home that loos like a hotel. And minimalism is not about saving money either because 1) they get rid of useful thigs; 2) they need to replace them and the replacement cost is always more that what the item was originally purchased for.
Yup I knew one what ever he felt he would throw out weekends I would dumpster dive well finally one weekend there were two dumpsters started going through thinking wow all this stuff neighbor came out told me he had become part of cycle ..had a stroke..end of game
OMG you said exactly what I was thinking. Millennials don't care about history. In fact, anything before 1970 is "ancient" history to them! Their houses don't even looked lived in -- so sterile.
I took care of my elderly father until he passed at age 89 he was a WWII Navy vet. Me being the youngest my older 4 siblings wanted nothing to do with him. He had so much love and a great sense of humor.
These items were precious to her , and now you'll find people who can continue to enjoy them. It's kind of poetic.
The red plastic octagon thingy at 13:58 is a coat check "ticket" from the legendary 21 Club in New York City. Nice little souvenir and it makes me happy to think she traveled and had some fun. Also she was not a hoarder. Her stuff is well-organized. RIP 💔
I hated hearing she was called a hoarder. We don't know if her house was just too small but was nice and tidy and this was her normal storage. The kids may not live in the area so they couldn't take it over or afford it. Assume = Ass (out of) u & me
Can't watch now, mom passed and we re getting older...shame that noone cares at the end....it doesn't pay to be sentimental
My mom is currently 87 & dad is 92. They are currently giving us & their grandchildren their possessions. All on their own decision. We are also decluttering as we go along. It’s bitter sweet but it feels like the end of their lives. Watching this is so very sad to see things discarded. They meant something to someone at on point of their lives.😢
😊😊😊
Yes I started when my youngest 2 went away to college - scanning old photos and papers, throwing some out etc etc.... Then they returned with all their stuff and more but at least I have been through many many boxes of old stuff and culled it hugely. I also made the family tree part of it as my parents did one in the 1970s too and got that uploaded and distributed along with the most precious old family papers so if anyone wants those details in the future they are there.
I got lucky we recently moved and the realtor asked if we wanted free stuff some old lade passed away and didn't have kids we got everything in the house $1000s of dollars worth of stuff lots of collectables and vintage painting's worth a lot
I inherited my best friend's house (was his parents) after he died. No hoarding here but it was a treasure trove of life from the 30s and 40s. Lots of collectables. The advantage that I had at the time was the TIME to go through it all. The house was slated to be razed by the state for a new bridge so I had plenty of time to get through the stuff - keep or sell what had value.
Although when my parents died we cleared their house of 50 years or what we wanted of it and just about nothing had any value. It became a joke with me in the end - even the fairly new electric stair lift had been built around corners so it could only go for scrap. Even 1970s lava lamp just about no value. A few things might have made £5 on Ebay but not enough to justify selling. My parents were just not into possessions or jewellery or paintings. My sibilings did let me have my father's car as I spent 100 hours winding up the estate
When my parents died we all got together and decided what we wanted. Most had been invested so it turned into money that we split. I pray my kids see the value of keeping our heritage and history.
I was given a 10 X 30 under similar circumstances, the monthly auction had just passed and the family signed the unit over to the facility. The facility gave the unit to me free! The woman was a college professor as well as a holiday fanatic, the unit was full to the ceiling of new holiday decorations. I moved it all to my store basement storage sorted it by holiday and sold it throughout the year. We probably made over $15,000 when all was said and done.
Wow, that's great, the storage manager said if he gets any more signed over units he will just give them to me
That was sad for them😢, awesome for you 👀💭my friend 👏❤️👏💯❣️
Don't tell the IRS
Zooming past what looks like authentic pearls. One of the most valuable things in all that stuff. Makes me feel really sad for the lady who passed. At least she wasn't living in all that stuff. I hope you leave the pictures at the office so they can give the owners family a change to pick them up.
I was looking at the pearls too wondering if they were real cultured pearls.
People, when your relatives get elderly, please stop giving them holiday decorations, figurines, bric a brac, potpourri burners, picture frames, perfumes and colognes, and tons of other things that will only collect dust. They are pretty to open up and then, they really don't need them or have a place for them. My mom had SO much of that stuff in her house after she died, please, honor your relatives with your love and by staying in touch and giving them things they CAN use like a gift card or take them out for a meal. A relative asked what to get my mom for Christmas and I suggested a Bissell electric floor sweeper (about $35). The relative instead got her a potpourri burner she never used. I bought Mom the Bissell sweeper and she used it every day for her last few years and loved it.
Thank you, I keep telling this to my siblings, but they don’t listen and keep buying my mom junk.
my mom had an internet business that she sold buyout brand new items in bulk from big chains. her garage was filled to the brim with all kinds of cases of items like this. that's probably what this elderly lady did as well. this makes me sad to see... especially the photo albums and her kids didn't give a care. i was the one who volunteered to help my mom clean out her condo so she could come live by me, but unfortunately she found out she was stage 4 lung cancer that got her liver too, and she passed away 13 days after being diagnosed, she didn't even realize she was that sick, she was a tough cookie with all her other physical ailments.
i ended up donating 90% of everything she had ... i would guess it would have filled at least 3 of these storage units. my siblings were completely hands off until they realized she was terminal then all of a sudden they cared. it breaks my heart still.
Sorry for your loss
Your kids don’t want your stuff. I been saying this to my husband for years. He understands now that we had to clean out his parents house.
How soft am I ... when the box with the photo albums was opened i literally cried!! I would have given anything to have that many pictures of my late parents so for them to be basically put in the bin is heartbreaking. Ty for interesting video despite you making me cry lol ❤💙💜
my mom had all the family photos from her aunt and uncle. A huge suitcase filled with old pictures , a lifetime . Mom held onto them for many years, not knowing what to do with them. She passed leaving them with me. I contacted my cousin who was able to find their granddaughter who indeed wanted the pictures. I can only imagine how happy she was to have all those moments in time.
My mom was starting to have dementia and we had three storage units full of stuff and her problem was that she would take my stuff and mix it in with her stuff and I just couldn't afford the stages because I just got married I lost my original birth certificate home videos family pictures I lost it all. Items that you cannot replace family heirlooms everything and I cried for months it's been over a 22 years ago
@@leolakimbler4514 it must be so painful ... sending love 💜💙❤
My Mom gave me a family photo album for Christmas once. I told her it was cool and could add it to my other albums. She was confused and I showed her my other 5 albums, all including the pictures I removed from hers. She was confused as to how I already had so many albums at only 20.

That's so sad they didn't want any of their mothers items. Breaks my heart.💔
My 90 year old mother passed last year. A couple years earlier she had inherited a large amount of money. She didn’t need the money and didn’t know what to do with it and eventually she became obsessed with tv shopping. The shopping served a “purpose” in her life, since she was housebound, and each shipment gave her something to look forward to. She had stopped giving gifts to family, saying the money was hers to spend as she wished and she wasn’t going to give anything away. When she passed her 3 story home was full of unused (and sometimes unopened) items. Cleaning out her home was difficult and sometimes an adventure, finding things we didnt know she had purchased. It was a long process and we did get to the point where we had to close our eyes and just load up things for donation. Its not that we don’t/didn’t care about her things or the importance they represented to her. Its just that for most of us, we are getting up there in years ourselves and need little in the way of material things by this point in our lives. We did our best to distribute her items to multiple generations, but there was so much. Had she not spent so much on unnecessary items, the money could have been used for providing educational opportunities for generations of our family. But, as she said, it was her money to do as she wished.
Swannsong It gave her something to “ look forward to “, it sounds like. ♥️
Sounds like she was bitter and selfish. To spend money on things that didn't mean much to her was her way of stopping anyone else getting that money, even her own close relatives. That's why money exposes the true nature of someone's heart. She is in hell now because she chose to live for herself and not be kind to others. She received it through inheritance so why did she feel she couldn't pass on that same blessing to her own family? Because bitterness and selfishness filled her life. She is in hell now. Let her example be warning to everyone who seeks their own sake rather than that of God's or even relatives. She withheld because she was judgemental and when we judge wrongly we act wrongly. Rather than anyone saying I'm judgemental by writing this, know that your actions speak louder than words, and people need to learn to zip it and look at situations with righteous judgement lest you let your own life fall into same pitiful end.
@@RAPTUREATTWILIGHT It is a very unchristian thing to say someone is in hell 🔥. Only JESUS CHRIST LORD of ALL, and her know. JESUS CHRIST SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD 🩸 for all who have accepted HIM. 🩸🩸🩸✝️🙏🏼
Was your mom Eric Cartman?
@@hummingbird275 what a religious and self-righteous thing to say! There's nothing 'unchristian' about referring to those whose selfish characters will take them to hell, even Jesus spoke more of hell (where the worm does not die and the fire is not quenched) than he did of heaven, also it's scriptural that there's more in hell than in heaven because broad is the way that leads to destruction and many find it. Your ignorance and people-pleasing attitude is why people think they can ignore God all their life then when they die he gonna let them go to heaven.
After having to go through my Aunts 3 story home and my Mom and Dads house when they passed and having to go through each box when I got back home I started to get rid of stuff that I did not need. I don't want to have to put others through what I had to. Months of work that I was not emotionally ready for. I have finally pulled out the pictures for 2 sets of Grandparents, my Aunt and Uncle and Mom and Dad to go through and put names to the faces that I know. Say a prayer for the project that I have in front of me. Give Shane the coin. It is hard work holding a camera. Lots of treasures.
One of my siblings “ took it all”, so didn’t have to deal with it.
Yes she definitely used to sell merchandise. Like maybe at Flea Markets or Fall Festivals! The fact that they are stored seasonally and there are multiples of same items purchased in bulk.
I think a lot of stuff is gifts, received from family, which Mum feels she can't throw away. I think it would be better to spend the money on a nice lunch or day out for parents and grandparents, instead of giving them more stuff they don't need or want.
Townview Excellent idea ♥️
Can you talk to my siblings? I keep telling them to stop giving gifts to my mother, who has plenty and needs nothing. She’s one magazine away from being a hoarder.
@@spankynater4242 My family is scattered around Australia. When my father started failing, we would have a "Family Lunch" in their city. We would all fly in to Brisbane on a Saturday morning, have lunch at a great restaurant and then fly home in the afternoon. Our gift was ourselves and maybe a little something. Dad has gone and now Sydney is the meeting place for "Family Picnic" because the grandchildren have children of their own and it's logistically easier. Take photos.
Old ladies often buy presents throughout the year to give to family and and friends on holidays and birthdays. I think it is so they are always prepared even as they loose memory. Unfortunately, people stop coming around as they build their own lives. But the old lady sees something in the store or online and thinks of that person she misses and buys it for them.. hoping to one day gift it. Lonely old people 😢
I have 80 years worth of photos from the family, it's something I could never part with. kids are nuts.
Pictures don't matter.
The daily love you show your kids trumps all.
My mom died from covid & my brother refuses to give me my baby pictures of me & my mom or anything. Im heartbroken as I was adopted by her (so was he we aren't related) Im missing out on my childhood memories she kept that I may have never seen & never will see. This is unbelievable to me. Shame on them.
That's terrible. I never understood why some people suck. I jad a great grandmother that died when I was younger. She didn't have much. There was a suitcase full of pictures.
These were pictures that went wayyy back. Everything just sort of disappeared.
@@letsdothis9063 my brother did it out of spite b4 he kicked me out of his house tho. He showed me the stuff. Yeah he more than sucks.
Yep, I can understand that happening; my sister (not blood related) n I were also adopted and after our adopted dad passed, she went through the family pictures without our mom knowing about it and took all of our childhood pictures.... long story short, she burnt all of my pictures, so like you, I don't have any of my childhood pictures 🥺
@@tandiparent1906 He77 🔥 will be a LOT hotter than the one that burned the pictures! Just sayin’!
So sorry he's being evil. Sorry for your loss
One dollar each on the Christmas stuff will pay for the unit. Go through the jewelry carefully!
This is why I am leaving my house and living in a van...I won't be tempted to hoard stuff, minimal tidying up after I'm done. I have parents who have loads of stuff , hide money in books, collect magazines....its so hard to sort through and like someone said, it feels disrespectful throwing it away.
Going minimal now.
That is a great idea, I plan on purging after kids graduate college or to pay for college 😁
@@2ndCentsIncAuctionsCleveland We're in the process of paring down now. We won't be living in a van but we will be living in a much smaller house with little in the way of storage. I have old photo albums and some other family treasures that I've picked out for each of my kids. When they get settled I'll give those boxes to them. They can easily fit in the trunk of their car with room to spare. You can hand things down to your kids, just be selective and purposeful about it.
I used to cook and clean for an elderly 97 year old woman that well, the only way to say it is....she lived in a world of yesterday. Furniture, jewelry, dish items, what-nots, brass lamps, wall pictures... etc. etc.even a drawer full of old ink well pens. Every room was like...wow. She still had things from her mother AND her grandmother. Everything was almost like new, polished and everything. She had one son and he was a shady kind of guy. When the lady died he was sitting on a gold mine of antiques...but he saw it all as junk. The nurses and I wanted to buy some things...no, no, just leave them here. One day I went back to see if he might have changed his mind...and to my horror...in the back yard was a huge fire. The antique dressers, headboards, ceder chests, carved tables of all sizes, humpbacked chests ( all 10 of them) full of old things from Hap-a-long Cassidy gun and holster sets to antique toys, lace items, old high top button shoes, war items, old books from the 1800's etc. all burning..going up in smoke. Just broke my heart.
So sad n cruel ppl are , no love or compassion left n wonder , wats wrong in the world 😢💭💯❣️
Wow! Dummy not interested in selling it?
@@tvcat3665 Nope...he saw it all as junk. I was in tears
I can't imagine!!! 😟 I am so sorry!!! Not only was he burning the items physically, he was burning three generations of three full lives which were well-lived. It is so tragic, and I am sure very traumatizing for you!!
@@VintageRose75 It was...to see it all go up in smoke, when someone could have bought it, cleaned and polished it and preserved it. I offered him good money too. Out in one of the big barns was what was left of an old covered wagon, oxen yokes, wheels...just so much history. By the wagon in the dirt was an old cork type bottle. (without the cork of course) I picked it up and embossed in the glass it read "swamp chill and tonic" back then they didn't use paper labels)..by golly I kept it...and still have it right here on my shelf. Have had several tell me it was from the mid to late 1800"s. In another old barn was 2 old pick-ups from the 50's...body still in pretty good shape. Under the hood was a mess...rats nests, etc, wires eaten, lot of rotted stuff...but someone could have taken it and restored it. Her son was a real jerk
29:10 Hey, Guys-
Those records in the plain brown sleeves are 78 rpm's made of shellac!!! Handle them with care- they crack VERY easily!!-
Bro you don't have to justify your work! You make an honest living! Thank you for what you do.
Thank you Taanaz. Happy Mothers day to you,me, and all the Moms out there😊. Feel better & rest up.🙏🙏
Everybody's kids are like this today.They don't want memorabilia or mom or grandma, they want money. So spend it all and enjoy it now. They can make their own memories and money.
Some seniors like to hide stuff or put it in a special place. No way I'd give up a storage only to find out a relative left something valuable way in the back.
Better to get family together. Those that help get a cut and those that did not their lost.
when my parent passed, we lost a storage unit she had (in a different state) - even though there were likely some really lovely pieces in there - bc of the cost to fly up, sort, stay, and ship. Neither my sibling or i were able to do that at the time. It just wasnt possible. For alot of people, it isnt.
Did they move away from you or the other way around? If its the later, shame on you; they gave you life
@@Brandi6666 Asinine remark.⬇️
@@hummingbird275 ahhh haaa. Guilt got ya. Sorry cat, thats gonna follow you till you cease to exist 🤣
@@Brandi6666 You have a twisted mind, posting asinine comments.
It's sad to see and watch.I cleaned my father's house for 3 weeks and threw away so much stuff it was dirty due to the lady watching my father she never cleaned.My Sister and Brother had already removed what they wanted but there was still a lot to do.I think that people today don't want or have the time to spend dealing with these things so as I have aged I have started selling my things away as I am sure my 2 Daughters will never want and why not ? I might as well enjoy spending the money again on something I can enjoy rather than keeping it because they don't want anything anyway.Going places and doing things and not buying nothing to have to be thrown away later.
Feeling sorry for this lady. I hope her children treated her better when she was alive.
My heart aches for the poor old lady.Hope they find some priceless diamonds in there.
Tijuana brass! Man I loved hearing him in the early 70s as a kid practicing Coronet.
I always find those albums
I like that you move quickly through the boxes. We get to see a lot without having to focus on individual items.
This is why I am giving my stuff to charity now. Storage units are for in between moving. You should not pay for a unit to store unnecessary stuff.
WOW, ya'll have so much fun when you find treasures. I enjoy your reactions. When you guys get together it is fun to watch.
Thanks, for your comments, we always have a blast hanging out
That breaks my heart when family pictures get cast aside.
Some of those rare old school tins are worth some serious money to collectors.....!!!!!!!!
Those yellow pearls might be worth more than you think and those plates she might have inherited them. Great find.
When my mom went into the nursing home. It was up to me and my sister to go through and decide what we wanted and and the grandkids. It was tedious and heartbreaking. We didn't get everything out and sold the house as is. Her and my wonderful step father died in 201 6 2 months apart. I still think there was more stuff that we should of taken but nobody wanted to help clean the house out.
Terri here. My question would be…who put all this in the storage unit for her??? Breaks my heart…
Probably her kids, which is why they did not want that junk.
As an old lady who has children that have said they would just put a match to my house as they do not want my crap and do not want to sort through it. So I have given to the ones that want it and I would pay a storage unit until I die to keep them from getting even the expensive stuff after they have made it plain repeatedly and be glad someone that would do something with it would have it. The front cover boxes have my craft stuff but wait until you get to the back and enjoy.
I’d gladly take you’re stuff ❤
How sad is her family not to at least WANT to go thru all these things and bring back wonderful memories. This lady loved Christmas and obviously didn't get to use it all. She may have purchased these items hoping family would visit and didn't. She may have been a hoarder but something was missing in her life. I'd hope my family would be respectful and go thru my stuff should I die before I got to it. Sad.
I don't think she was a hoarder, just someone that collected stuff that was GIVEN to her from companies that she worked for. I think she was a BUYER for a neighborhood store like Woolworth.
@@passion777able That’s an interesting observation.😊
Having been through the deaths of relatives, I can see why the family was not interested in this stuff. I bet they helped box it all up and move it to the storage unit. Most likely they knew exactly what was in every box.
Or they were sick of her hoard 🤷🏼♀️ I know someone who said when their parent dies, they are just renting a dumpster and throwing everything out without going through anything.... the parent is 💯 a hoarder with a shopping addiction (not as bad as the hoarders show, but not great- I’ve seen it- helped them move some stuff from the storage room in their basement- a huge storage room btw, and there were racks full of brand new clothes- with tags, never worn... some had receipts from 20+ years ago attached... also many other new items in boxes 😬 they were telling me they try to get rid of the junk from time to time but one day, usually within a week, the hoarder will wake up and the hoarder spidey senses will say those specific items are missing - so odd )... and like pretty much every hoarder won’t admit there’s a problem or seek psychological help 🤦♀️
@@candicemorgan979 I have a neighbor that is a hoarder. You can only walk from his front door, roughly four feet into the house, to the right is what used to be a little den or home office. That is where his mattress is. The power has been turned off for quite some time. The entire house is packed from the first floor all the way to the ceiling in the upstairs. Racoons have moved in, garage in same condition. The township has condemned the house, yet he is still there. Sad thing is, he is quite wealthy, but yet he will not face the reality of his situation. He is a regular at goodwill and SA, he buys clothes, wears them, and throws them in suitcases when they are dirty. That is how he does his laundry, he doesn't. I could go on, but you get the drift.
Agreed.
THE LITTLE TINS ARE VALUABLE. COLLECTABLES.
Those tins aren't worth anything.
Stop assigning monetary value to junk. 🤦🏼♀️
Years and years ago we strapped a toilet seat to an old chair with no seat way back at a river camp over a hole in the woods to have a better spot for relief. Long ago. Lol. Leta
Am.glad yall are out here unattached and able to go through it all. No sadness or fear of hurting someone in the family's feeling. I'm glad her things are able to make others happy now. Instead of being wasted in boxes. Many dont have the time or emotional fortitude to do this. Others have no clue what is worth something and how to sell it. So sad, maybe when yall are done and all that's left is personal family memorabilia you can offer is to the "kids" she left behind. You did the hard part and went through all the overwhelming stuff for them. If they feel like they still dont want it...chuck or self
...everything you said... Perfect 🥰
Thank you.
I know exactly how this happens. My mother in-law sold her house and got a condo. She was lonely after my father in-law died and she'd stay up watching those channels that sell useless crap to old people. When she died in 2009 we discovered she'd packed one room of her condo with every manner of nonsensical purchases. Some of it was so recent we returned it. We sold about half of it and threw or gave the rest away.
I love the little knife. Brings back lots of memories.
If someone buys or wins a unit for auction. It is that persons right to go through what they now own. No matter what others think about them doing so
It shows that the kids only wanted the house and bank accounts which is very sad this man got a lot of nice treasures
I hope you sell that contact paper. Some people love vintage and might be looking for those patterns to match up to their old shelving liners.
I try to sell it all, however, it comes in faster than it goes sometimes 😁
Hope family photos and other family history items are offered to the family.
Unfortunately, the family didn't want any of the personal items. I usually give personal items to the facility manager to return to owner.
Friend is part owner of a storage facility. She gets calls daily asking if they have any units available. I can understand the business wanting that unit empty to rent out.
She probably thought her children would like and take most of it but sad they did cos it looks like she saved a lot of stuff for them ❤❤
Looking at so many new and in the box things, of similar character, I wonder if the person had a small variety store and much of what is here was what was left and had not sold when she closed it.
I am really apolled at the way your going through these boxes. To Bad when you Break the valuables.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Pretty disrespectful guy's.
This stuff isn’t valuable to everyone
I'm not appalled by it. Family didnt want anything to do with it. He bought it...it's his to do whatever!
Her kids knew what was here because they had to box it all up when she moved to assisted living. Just my theory.
Me too. Not interested in watching this crapm
I know exactly why the kids didn't want it.The same reason I don't want my family junk. The fact that the kids didn't want it, speaks volumes.
Exactly, it’s nice to see that there are a few people here who get it.
Thanks for sharing your time with all of us ❤️ Love watching your videos
Happens all the time. One guy on TH-cam got a locker (actually 2) worth hundreds of thousands of dollars of stuff that the owners kids didn't want to be bothered with.
wow that willie colon record! my father was in that band :) I think you need to slow down going through boxes...I was afraid you were going to break something.
That is a terrific locker. The lady who owned it had some really cool things. I enjoyed that. Thanks 😊
Its sad when someone's life long treasures (valuable or not) are not wanted, and then thrown around and discussed so insensitively. So sad about the family album. The kids just didnt care, its a lesson to us all. Take control of yr possessions while you are still alive and able to.
I occasionally buy units. It breaks my heart when I come across units with such personal belongings that you know people have invested huge amounts of time into organizing and/or collecting. To have nobody care about your valuable time and care put into keepsakes or collections and hobbies is very disheartening. Many times I'll try to give belongings (photos, albums, urns of ashes) back to the people running the facility to contact the family for a return. Sometimes they will, other times they refuse, stating they have the family or person multiple discounts, offers, and second chances and they no longer care. Other times you come across information and you just know the person either went to jail or passed away from the way their stuff was hurriedly packed as if drawers were just dumped into boxes. (Food, mail, etc) from family or friends and for whatever reason payments stopped. A couple of years ago, my boyfriend bought a couple in a neighboring county outside the city and i could tell this stuff had been so cared for and tons of time had been invested organizing it all. I'll bet she had 5 boxes or more of photo albums and framed pictures. Tons of boxes full of files and certificates and lessons from being a retired teacher. Yearbooks and scrapbooks. Old furniture and knick knacks. It's hard for me to throw any of that out. As a matter of fact, I believe I have a few boxes in my personal shed at home with the hopes of someday returning them to families. I just haven't made the time. You are totally correct though! I've learned from these experiences to stop wasting my life away organizing thinks I find value in that others won't. And the things I really care for like my coin collection or especially my costume jewelry collection needs time spent labeling, documenting, and pricing value because I recognize the the majority of society just sees a nickel as a 5 cent nickel or jewelry as worthless unless it's stamped with 14K. It would really be discarded for nothing at a yard sale or spent on a bag of chips!
@@lisaorth3255 I plan to digitize every slide and photo I have, including huge numbers I 'inherited' and then get rid of the originals. Nobody wants a mountain of physical copies.
Yes I’ve started asking family members if there is anything they would really like. I’d rather give it to them now or make a list of who gets what.
I agree with you. These guys are disrespectful. Saddens me very much.
Sad yes but also on a deep level one realizes life must be lived forward and not backwards. Hanging on to so much past can be like a noose around the neck and enslave you from having the life you wish to have. Life is short.
Ya know…..I just might be wrong? But speaking from the voice of experience, a lot of this stuff looks like the property of a flea market seller. Everything is not only boxed up nice and neat but also boxed in lots. Typical for most sellers is the Made in China items too. Just my honest opinion! Who knows? 🤷🏻♀️
I was thinking the same thing too. It seems like the lady must have been some sort of seller.
oh i bet you're right! well that makes me feel better for her. But her kids missed out on the family photos
You’re one of the few people here who seem to be able to look past the tearjerking title and figure out what probably was going on here.
You found the 1945 silver dollar and my first thought was sell it to me; that was the year I was born!
(As an aside, one year at Christmas, our bank was selling 5-lb. boxes of money. I bought a box of pennies for my husband (all I could afford). He never spent them so they will go to our middle son who was born that. year - uncirculated pennies from his birth year.
How NEAT 😊👍🏼❗️
Very cool
1945 Silver Dollar is probably worth about $20-$30.
@@spankynater4242 The three I was paid for babysitting with were only worth cigarettes - my mother took all three, no idea what year they were. I had not planned to spend them at all. The parents had won the in Reno and had saved them to pay me with them. Sadly, it was not the only time she took what little money I had.
@@GlennaVan not cool.
A testament to
our dreams , desires
& silliness.
My mother died in a house fire. I feel guilty thinking, I didn't have to go through this.
I am so sorry for your loss. Please do not feel guilty. None of it is on you.
Oh my, this reminds me of cleaning out my mother-in-laws house.. Some gems, but mostly junk. It was a neverending insane cleanup. It was fun though.
My kids have already told me they don't want my knick knacks. Now I'm slowly getting rid of things.
My kids need to watch this. And they thought I was a hoarder
To her that was her life and she thought that they would come to take her things. How heartbreaking is that they cast her aside and not even bothered by what she had saved
Awesome finds.
Reminds me
I got to clean out my storage unit
Headed to Cleveland to clean out that big unit. Watching you on the way! Thank you for inspiration!
This is better than Hoarders...
Convincing - clean your own stuff or watch this sadness
Look at the date of the newspapers the stuff is wrapped in & thats a pretty good indication of when the items were packed up.
I’m getting anxious…load up the truck, the clock’s ticking lol
That looks like a antique baby bracelet. The silver one with a a little chain.
When all the excitement is done and the jokes are over, there is still the fact that someone owned this “junk” and she is gone now. RIP
I have only held on to the photos of the kids. I got rid of everything and became a minimalist so that when I die my kids aren’t left with the burden of getting rid of my stuff.
Down south in Alabama we call those, Dirt Dobbers!!! Check out the inside of one and you'll find it full of dead spiders. It's where the wasp has collected his future meals. Guess those wasps are hoarders too!!! LOL
Perhaps her living situation changed and forced her to put her belongings in storage, maybe temporarily, which turned into a longer time. We can't judge why someone keeps things. I don't see this as hording. Looks more like 'here, hold my stuff, I'll be back' Or she took the time to hang on to possessions so her children could have them and then they didn't. No judgement.
There is such a lot of stuff that can be worth some good money if you can find the right collectors. I know that there are people that collect those fancy tins. Some of the records might also be worth something to collectors. They are only into a small portion of thr unit and I think that they can already at least cover the cost of the unit.
I got myself into a situation in the beginning of my recovery and my stuff went to my parents and now I’m being told by other family members that I don’t want anything when my parents go. I hurt said family members feelings when I stick up for myself but obviously they don’t care about usurping me in making decisions like this. Feels as I don’t even matter👀
I had a neighbor who kept a storage locker in another state for 25 years. It must be 30 years now. Her sister pointed out to her that if she had all the money she gave to the storage facility all those years she would have enough money to buy a house. In her case, her furniture and belongings went into storage when her marriage fell apart after their baby daughter died at one week old. I think that hanging onto that stuff somehow prevented her from having to "let go" of the baby or to move on from that terrible week, subconsciously. She moved out of state for a new job but never remarried or had other children.
Might have been interesting to contact the family for their story on their mom. Looks like you could open a dollar store with the contents of the unit. The kids might like the photos after all-no telling how overwhelmed they were after the old lady passed away.
If you had a listing of an item for a dollar it would not be profitable without some upcharge on shipping.
General rule: picking things that sell for under $10 is not profitable.
The kids didn’t want it and it looks like they just threw her belongings in there. Tsk tsk tsk.
Crazy. This is what my mom’s storage unit would look like. She has a thing for Christmas stuff. Collections. Sets. You name it
