One of the best things about your ideas is your voice. You give us a clear conscience description no unnecessary verbiage. Your voice is very interesting & calming.
You can salvage the boards from flat screen TVs and they'll bring a decent amount depending on the model. Easy to pull too. Better than just tossing it.
My mom went to a storage auction where one of the units held a huge mountain of wrinkled clothing in the middle. Nobody wanted it but finally someone bought it for $5.00 figuring some of the clothing might sell at a yard sale. Buried under the clothes were TWO HARLEY DAVIDSON MOTORCYCLES!!!
Growing up in Minnesota and living there for 27 years until I moved, I am very familiar with Menards. Lots of memories and the original guy who did the commercials.
I'd have loved to get into this before I wrecked my back. Now I could maybe do one or two with a helper if it wasn't totally packed lol.. I need to get an enclosed trailer that size, preferably one that has at least a 7 foot tall box. I sold off my all aluminum 36 foot gooseneck enclosed racing trailer and I need something just.. smaller. a 12 or 14 foot long enclosed would be perfect for shows and flea markets and fit 3 pallets/gaylords of inventory to boot (plus 2 on my truck if needed) I still have a bunch of small trailers I use for everything from firewood to hauling my lawnmower around to scrap runs.. That is the one nice thing about this kind of business is I just keep a trailer in the back yard and fill it with scrap as I get it, once the trailer is full I haul it in and make a clean $80-100 bucks and it's not really any different than throwing it in my recycling bin except I'm making money to hook up the trailer and drive 5 minutes away and let the scrap yard employees unload it. Anything metal. Sadly I just spent an evening while watching a couple of movies sorting through a couple totes of phone screen protectors that were returns. Out of 600-800 units I have between 140-150 good screen protectors that weren't used, cracked, etc.. However most of them came in metal tins, so as I was going through them it didn't take any extra time to gut the plastic, throw it in one trash can, and toss the metal in another. And these are aluminum so I have a 55 gallon barrel for that.. These things do add up. My best scrap trip was over $1600 in non ferrous metals. If you fill up that trailer with old washers and microwaves you'll be surprised. Then again I bet you can get more selling broken washers to a used appliance store, and of course flip the good ones. I bought a truck and equipment trailer with scrap money, quit my job, and hauled cars, trucks, even a few semi's and a m35a2 back when iron was $250 a ton, cars 200 a ton. I'd buy a fullsize truck for $50-100 drive into town and walk out with a $600 check, race back to the country and load up another one..
Wonder if the storage unit owners go through them before they auction them off? Like why would a camera just be laying "next to" the nice zippered case? Doubt the previous owners would have stored it that way...guess there really is no guarantee when it comes to honesty with this type of business transaction. Good luck with everything! Love your spirit of ingenuity!
Some do.i have some near me that get cherry picked.i guess technically the stuff belongs to them.i prefer the old days where they cut the lock at auction time that's been long ago.
Unit 14, $1000 Honda generator in front? I just repaired one last week. Critter removal and the usual carb wash out. Prome to bad/old fuel because they have a large tank and long run time.
So I'm pretty sure I used to work at the factory those rubber mats came from. You don't use them to put under roof tiles as far as I know. I believe they are just simply floor coverings to protect the floor underneath or whatever you're setting on top of the mats. I'd often take the reject mats to use at my work station since I did a lot of cutting there and needed to protect the table I used.
Shoot some footage for your videos with the drone, a overhead shot of the storage place would be cool to edit in. I can’t think of any other resellers that use drone footage, it’s next level 😁
Good for you man, I wish could just sell the stuff I own... it's the attachment to crap that prevents the inevitable. Gotta love that buy and sell mindset, get it out and get it gone!!!
I've sold a couple Sony Handycams in my day. Got $65 shipped for a CCD-TRV328 and $85 shipped for a CCD-TRV37 (sold both in 2017 and I think I paid $5 each at yard sales).
Old lcd led are money makers for parts. If your not willing to part out list forsale for parts and you should be able to get more than disposal cost. My experience in Ireland is getting ride to someone you fixes then for 20-50 for 32 inch tvs.
I love watching your video's. they're never dull. I also like how you talk about random things that you've seen throughout the day or conversations you've had with another person. I do miss your storage video's, but you've moved up a little from pricing everything at $1, I don't think the strippers were very happy that you were getting all the $1 bills anyway.
@@ResaleRabbit Haha good one Mr Rabbit, just watched your latest video, you work hard, good on you. All that work then editing video for us to enjoy, you get an A+
You didn't even check the speakers in the first unit. They could be anywhere from $20 to $2000, most likely $20 - but you have to check 'em. As far as I can tell, the Jamo AVR 793 sold new for $499.
Really interesting to see you throw that dresser away, my heart hurt a little, I’m not going to lie lol. Have you ever thought of selling it as is to the upcycling community? Upcycling is crazy popular at the moment, with so many people wanting to go down the shabby chic route. From what I could see it was just badly stained rather than warped? It would only need someone interested in upcycling to gently sand it down all over & re-paint. Even if you were to sell it for $5-10 it’s something! Just a thought anyway. :) Watching you do all of that hard work makes even me tired! Haha. No one can say you aren’t a grafter, that’s for sure!
Resale Rabbit Dude! That’s such a bloody shame! If only I wasn’t in the U.K. - I’d quite happily help you for free in shifting pieces of furniture like that. If you were happy to buy some sample furniture paint, I’d be more than happy to do them up for you so you can sell them for a profit. Shabby chic furniture where I live here is crazy expensive, you’d make a killing. Whenever you’re all rich & famous (😄), if you decide to expand your horizons & jump over the pond (lol!) do let me know. I’m not able to work due to genetic chronic disabilities, but I’d genuinely really enjoy doing anything like that for hobby’s sake & to help you out :) My mother used to reupholster furniture so I think I get the craftiness from her! Anyway. Cheers for all the uploads, I’ve been binge watching this weekend a solid 20-30 vids, really enjoyed learning so much about the business & behind the scenes 👍🏻
I’d love it if someone would just take them because it seems like such a waste to throw them out (I hate waste) and it would also save me the dump fees.
Hi Rabbit, I'm new to your channel & am thoroughly enjoying this video. You certainly have your work cut out for you with 8 units at once, but they all look super interesting. (love all the boxes & totes) You seem to be very ambitious & a hard worker, so I look forward to pt 2, as well as seeing the rest of your videos. Do you have an auction site or ship out of state? If so & all the discs are in there, how much for The Wire complete series at the 18:20 mark? I'm from Baltimore where it was filmed.
watsup man..love watching your videos...do you still have any vintage or 90s t shirts? i am trying to find some to resell. i know your not real into clothing...figured i would ask..i am a new reseller just trying to source a little. let me know. thanks.
I want to see that unit with the electric guitars in it! I think you said you bought that unit right? I might be able to help you with the value on those, i been playing and selling guitars for a looong time. But then again i am sure you could find the value on your own since this is what you do for a living. Lol. But i can't wait to see those.
I haven’t even gone through that unit. It’ll be online once I get a chance to go through it. The guitars aren’t really valuable though, they’re hand made (poorly) and don’t look functional. Maybe the internals will be worth a few bucks, otherwise they’ll make good wall hangers in the garage for someone.
Did units 2 years full time - and I don't miss it one little bit. I much prefer picking and flipping individual items instead of dealing with all that random stuff - and the trash.
Yeah, the trash and the junk isn’t fun, but I love doing storage units! It’s like a treasure hunt! I’ve been doing them on and off for about 7 years now, but much heavier into them over the past 2-3.
@@ResaleRabbit They are fun - and the bidding is a rush - but they wore my back out trying to keep a store stocked by myself being in my middle 40's - just too much lifting and bending over. Do yourself a favor and get yourself a good appliance dolly. Best money I ever spent. You can move a mountain with a good appliance dolly with ratchet straps.
@@ResaleRabbit How are you making any profit???.....Paying for all of that???...(1) $5000 a month on warehouse space( I assume)....Paying for a Team of employees ...Buying the Goods....Storage Lockers...auctions....clear outs....Gas...Keeping a truck and trailer on the road...Insurance...How do you get ahead selling $50 Sony walkmans....When you don't even get $50...after shipping?...thanks for the reply btw...Love the show
It’s a volume game. Those $30-50 items add up fast, and the storage units net me about $1-3000 per week at auction. Move enough volume and it’ll cover expenses. Same way the big kids like Walmart and target do it, and they’re only running at a 6% margin!
@@ResaleRabbit Wow I would love to know what faberge eggs you send to a auction to get $3000...lol..Auctions are full of re sellers like you who pay 2 cents on the dollar for stuff. And its took hundreds of Millions of dollars for the big boys to do it...The only way I can see it making sense is have a ton of money to get the chain your talking about started. But Hey here you are.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m pushing on a decade of building it up. I started small and just grew it. I didn’t even have a warehouse until I had been in business for 5 years. $1-3000 per week isn’t in expensive items. It’s in cheap run of the mill items. I sell 2-300 items every week at auction. Mostly kitchen gadgets, electronics, pots and pans, toys, etc. nothing special. Just random usable items from the storage units. It’s a volume game.
Haha I tested a Dji phantom 3 in my living room, my tv still has the scars from that and i thought for sure it was going to murder me. Threw the controller to my wife while i dove under the thing to grab the bottom as it wouldnt land it kept hitting the ground and taking back off so i had her keep it level and i grabbed hold of the bottom and ripped the battery out. Swore never to do it again and a year later after putting guards on it did it again and it busted the guards off and hit my freezer and the blades smashed to pieces, that time it flipped upside down and i again ripped the battery out. Learned my lesson, dont fly it in the house! lol Its like a flying chainsaw. Supposedly wont hurt a human according to mythbusters but ive seen what they will do to metal and plastic and dont believe it wouldnt hurt me.
Typically you have until the end of the next day to clear out a unit. but as rabbit mentioned he has created a rapport with this yard, and for cleaning out some of the units that don't sell he has worked out terms to allow him upwards of a month to finish cleaning out the units. Of course he doesn't use that whole month. He gets on it and clears them out quickly. However, this allows him to bid on 8 units as he did in this video and not stress over having to get them all cleaned out in two days. Also, you can pay the storage yard for a month if it's an absolutely packed 30' unit and there's no way you can clear it in time. However those units typically go for upwards of $100. For me I'd be more inclined to hire someone to help me clean it out in a day rather than pay a fee and do all the work myself.
The moped looks like a 1986 Honda Elite Deluxe. Which would be 150cc. Collectible, but with new key, ignition, title and missing parts you're probably better off dismantling to sell parts and still be happy with results.
People will buy those TVs for a little bit to fix them up or scrap them for parts for fixing other people's TVs. There's a market for flatscreen TVs even if they're damaged.
No, that one was awesome! I found a ton of electronics including a MacBook, video game systems, and a bunch of magic cards and comics that I sold for almost $1000. Trust me, there were several other units there that could have been dump units. Some sold for $1.00. Some didn’t sell at all.
Rabbit... Jamo is a Danish company (pronounced Yaa-Mo... not Jam-Mo as most say) that is now owned by VOX International (Audiovox and Klipsch). That would have been an older unit before they were bought out most likely. Decent stuff, but a bit hard to sell unless the buyer knows audio gear and therefore knows Jamo.
hifiguy77 I remember having a set of 4 small Jamo speakers in the ‘90s, I was always amazed how well they sounded; they were loud and clear, better than most speakers that were a lot larger back then
I would donate those TV's to the Salvation Army store. Midnight donations go much smoother. Useless clothing and such gets donated to those phony, for-profit donation bins you find in parking lots of strip malls.
A moped has pedals, usually mid 70’s-80’s, usually started with a bicycle like system. A scooter is easiest described as ‘like sitting on a toilet’. Honestly someone made this graphic and it best explains it all www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/File:Tell_if_you%27ve_got_a_moped_illustrated.JPG Also! I didn’t see I got replies, thanks! Title the elite through Vermont (for $75 basically you can title anything if it’s old enough) then sell for $600 as is, in bigger cities those things do 55mph, reliable and have a pop up headlight! Other than my honda spree it’s my favorite scooter.
It looks like they have already went through these units and they left the trash or hard to sell items. They just needed someone to clean those units out.
No, they didn’t go through them. It’s highly illegal for the storage facility to do that and easy for them to get caught. Not to mention, if they went through them, they missed a lot of valuable items lol
Oh man, that unit was so good! Found a ton of video game systems, couple hundred dollars in comic books, huge magic card collection, MacBook Air, laptops, tools, etc. that might end up being the best unit.
Not really unethical is it? After all - "One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure" - it's exactly HOW eBay works and flourishes. As for cheaper to take to the dump, you must be luckier than us in the #UK as it costs us a small fortune to use the 'Dumps' over here :-( But good luck anyway, (not that you need it EH? ;-)
One of the best things about your ideas is your voice. You give us a clear conscience description no unnecessary verbiage. Your voice is very interesting & calming.
I agree. There are way too many screeching idiot re-sellers on YT that I simply cannot tolerate.
You can salvage the boards from flat screen TVs and they'll bring a decent amount depending on the model. Easy to pull too. Better than just tossing it.
You really know your stuff. All I saw was trash but with some TLC & elbow grease much of that grime will clean off. I admire your spunk.
This vid reminds of why I don't buy storage units anymore! Lol...Thanks for posting Rabbit...

Swore never to do it again and a year later after putting guards on it did it again and it busted the guards off and hit my freezer and the blades smashed to pieces, that time it flipped upside down and i again ripped the battery out. Learned my lesson, dont fly it in the house! lol Its like a flying chainsaw. Supposedly wont hurt a human according to mythbusters but ive seen what they will do to metal and plastic and dont believe it wouldnt hurt me.
Looks like the carry box under the seat, batteries are usually tucked in the main frame :)
hi rabbit just started selling on ebay thanks to you, sold 3 items today yes.
Thats what I like to hear!
Look under seat for title or in boxed up paper work
Can never buy enough storage units
How long does the storage unit place give you to have everything cleared out usually?
Kala B it just depends I know pubic storages gives you 48 hours
Typically you have until the end of the next day to clear out a unit. but as rabbit mentioned he has created a rapport with this yard, and for cleaning out some of the units that don't sell he has worked out terms to allow him upwards of a month to finish cleaning out the units. Of course he doesn't use that whole month. He gets on it and clears them out quickly. However, this allows him to bid on 8 units as he did in this video and not stress over having to get them all cleaned out in two days.
Also, you can pay the storage yard for a month if it's an absolutely packed 30' unit and there's no way you can clear it in time. However those units typically go for upwards of $100. For me I'd be more inclined to hire someone to help me clean it out in a day rather than pay a fee and do all the work myself.
you gotta get a headlamp so you can be hands free (or have 1 hand free)
maybe get a headlamp and a camera mount to attach to the head band
Where are you located at? Love to know go to one of your sales
The moped looks like a 1986 Honda Elite Deluxe. Which would be 150cc. Collectible, but with new key, ignition, title and missing parts you're probably better off dismantling to sell parts and still be happy with results.
Unit 11 had some good tools in there.
People will buy those TVs for a little bit to fix them up or scrap them for parts for fixing other people's TVs. There's a market for flatscreen TVs even if they're damaged.
It's a Honda running or not it's worth money
The honda elite is so nice
Rabbit got my thumbs up looks like good buys I wish we could get them that cheap here in California
The olive stacking chairs are quite valuable because they are MCM.
9.10 part how much for the off brand camera
It’s already sold. Sorry!
Unit #12 at 06:25 looks like the dump unit for many other "evictions"
No, that one was awesome! I found a ton of electronics including a MacBook, video game systems, and a bunch of magic cards and comics that I sold for almost $1000. Trust me, there were several other units there that could have been dump units. Some sold for $1.00. Some didn’t sell at all.
I saw a yellow sewing machine somewhere. I’d be interested in that if I lived there.
I just seen Bernie Sanders in the red shirt
@6:17 i saw that too Bernie gets around to all the great sales.
Got to be into it all. We are surrounded by opportunities and knowledge. 🧐
All those college furnture and chairs are mid century and worth money. Some even colors match.
Ken Minahan they are modern
Anybody ever watch LockPickingLawyer? Those locks reminded me of his channel.
Guy is a pro!
Rabbit... Jamo is a Danish company (pronounced Yaa-Mo... not Jam-Mo as most say) that is now owned by VOX International (Audiovox and Klipsch). That would have been an older unit before they were bought out most likely. Decent stuff, but a bit hard to sell unless the buyer knows audio gear and therefore knows Jamo.
hifiguy77 I remember having a set of 4 small Jamo speakers in the ‘90s, I was always amazed how well they sounded; they were loud and clear, better than most speakers that were a lot larger back then
34:18 “you’re the best that’s ever happens to me” 😂😂 yea OK
I looked it up. Camcorders not worth a $100.00 each! Not even close.
What was in the safe????
It was empty, but did include the key, so I should be able to get $5-10 for it
I would donate those TV's to the Salvation Army store. Midnight donations go much smoother. Useless clothing and such gets donated to those phony, for-profit donation bins you find in parking lots of strip malls.
I love buying storage units. It's like having Christmas when you go through it.
liquidation pallets are my christmas.. doesn't quite have that "OMG I JUST FOUND A SAFE WITH $20,000 IN IT" charm though haha
@@reforgedcriterion1471 I agree with that buy I found a gun in one and that was my OMG!!! So I know what you mean.
It's a honda elite E, can always make em run and worth a ton! Also it's a scooter not a moped lol
What’s the difference? (Serious question)
Resale Rabbit Yeah I’m wondering that too.
A moped has pedals, usually mid 70’s-80’s, usually started with a bicycle like system. A scooter is easiest described as ‘like sitting on a toilet’.
Honestly someone made this graphic and it best explains it all
www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/File:Tell_if_you%27ve_got_a_moped_illustrated.JPG
Also! I didn’t see I got replies, thanks! Title the elite through Vermont (for $75 basically you can title anything if it’s old enough) then sell for $600 as is, in bigger cities those things do 55mph, reliable and have a pop up headlight! Other than my honda spree it’s my favorite scooter.
I spotted that Honda Helix and instantly thought of the college picker!
That generator is a nice find.
That blue moped looks like it was in the movie, “the legend of Billie Jean”
wow i saw that in the movies in the 80s.was that christian and helen slater
Ronald Stephens yes. Great movie
If you ever find gold or silver coins how do you sell them?
I find silver from time to time. I usually keep them (I’m a coin collector).
Love the videos also keep up the great work
Insane dude! Looks like fun, I need to hit up a storage auction.
23:09 Are those crickets or did rabbit think this bit was boring and added them after the fact
They were crickets and I missed a great opportunity for a joke lol
12&13 look good
“EBAY ...Bringing $ to small town America through selling junk! “
It looks like they have already went through these units and they left the trash or hard to sell items. They just needed someone to clean those units out.
No, they didn’t go through them. It’s highly illegal for the storage facility to do that and easy for them to get caught. Not to mention, if they went through them, they missed a lot of valuable items lol
you can get a key at a honda dealer ship
Dude I sell old Panasonics for big money all the time. You find a working model and it gets snatched on eBay the moment it goes up
you bought the trash unit for 520? looks like there was about 5 or 6 trash units.
Oh man, that unit was so good! Found a ton of video game systems, couple hundred dollars in comic books, huge magic card collection, MacBook Air, laptops, tools, etc. that might end up being the best unit.
So interesting seeing the ones goes for a dollar and 2 dollars. If they can't sell it maybe they could donate it
Bro may I ask which state are you.
Maxy Kazuya he’s in Wisconsin. Green Bay Area I think
Do you put ALL the #Crap back into 'another' unit and then #Auction that off for a $Dollar?? .... (If not, why not ;-)
I mean, I suppose I could, but that would be very unethical and it would probably be cheaper just to take it to the dump.
Not really unethical is it? After all - "One Man's Trash is Another Man's Treasure" - it's exactly HOW eBay works and flourishes.
As for cheaper to take to the dump, you must be luckier than us in the #UK as it costs us a small fortune to use the 'Dumps' over here :-(
But good luck anyway, (not that you need it EH? ;-)
Hey rabbit I’m 16 and from Green Bay. If u need any help with product photography boxing shipping etc please respond back
I think I’m good for now. Thanks though!
