- Locker Nuts episode 508
Ready to continue the adventure? It's locker time! In the last episode, we starting digging into the best locker I've ever bought. Profit is definitely going to be in the hundreds of thousands, and we might even make a million from it. It's an insane collection of rare trains, die cast, models, computers, and so much more. This is day 2 of digging, and it's no less incredible, with thousands and thousands of dollars in merchandise in nearly every box.
This is episode 2 of the "Million Dollar Locker"

I’m the guy who got the million dollar diecast unit which contained every Franklin mint plane ever made…you can see it on Craigslist hunters site…just crazy! Friends with storage pirate. I wouldn’t be surprised if you make around $250-350k on that unit. You do have a life changing unit!
I would bet the owner of this unit was Depression-era baby who served in the Air Force in WWII. My grandpa was like this. He loved buying toy like hobby things and hoarding them. He did not have actual toys growing up and was in the war. When he came back and got older, the joy came from knowing he had it. Intentions were to put things on display but it never came to be. I would guess this mans house was packed with boxes when he passed. Growing up with nothing made him want to have things always around him. These people truly were the Greatest Generation.. ❤❤❤
My mother is a major collector of MANY different and expensive items. Her father was an huge collector of trains.
These items have to be from a train and hobby shop. These items are now considered vintage. When he had the hobby/train store theses items were expensive but not very hard to find. Now, 16 years later many are hard to get.
If you sell these items properly, and you have what I believe you have in the back of your locker, I estimate roughly $250,000 +.Be careful about the way you sell these items. As I was typing you were opening up some other boxes… I have been waiting for the trains to show themselves. And…. There ya go. Congrats on your find. Many of these items will never be found in brand new condition. You really have found gold.
I doubt the previous owner had a store, my guess is that he had some sort of compulsive buying disorder and a lot of money (Apple stock?) and simply stored everything away, without even opening some of the packages.
This is definitely how a man of faith gets blessed 👍👍👍✝
Amen to that! Thanks brother.
Truthfully I am not interested in cars, trains, or much in that locker. My joy comes from your excitement. I love how excited you get. Makes my day
Me Too! Isn't it awesome
Don't throw those pieces balsam wood...expensive....just an observation!!!
$319,000.00
If you lose any more weight you're going to have to start using suspenders. Your belt can only have so many holes and still be effective.
"Shine on, shine on 'harvest' moon."😉😉😉😉
Me too!
$1.00 for all of that? wow find of the century! I love all the plastic model ships, planes, and etc. But the train sets that the owner acquired throughout the years is incredible, I got dizzy while you were trying to show all of the items in the locker specially the ones at the back. Truly amazing stuff! Congrats!
Thanks!
I love that you just can't stop smiling.
That's what life should be.
Thanks for taking us on this journey Jack, I'm smiling with you 🙂
You can see the Holy spirit in his nature for sure
❤💯I've must have watched all these finds 15 times now..well done so so happy for you and yr family time paitence and care you work hard sell hard and you all much you a great provider ,Dad,and a great husband
🤗🤗🤗🤗💯👏👏🙏🤝
Thank you so much!
I'm NOT a big fan of trains, model airplanes/cars or military items....what I am exciyed about is your reaction to making money!!! Could watch that ALL DAY!
Unreal train model collection. 🤩 European collectors would pay tens of thousands of euros for this.
This guy sees only dollars , nothing others ...............
@@nft6174 Anyone can exchange one currency for another. :)
Definitely beginning to think this guy owned a high-end toy/hobby store due to the sheer number of new/unopened products. Either that or he was an tech startup millionaire from the 80's and was planning the worlds most epic model train layout. I have a theory about the networking and gaming controller stuff that might support the toy/hobby store idea as well.
Exactly what im thinking
I was wondering if he was gonna build a massive diorama (like you see in a museum) or something, but it somehow never happened...?
Nah man i`m getting the vibe of a german workaholik that always had a dream of a big train setup but worked so much and endet up being addicted to buying all those things. i rly love the videos but i'm getting more and more sad thinking about the guy that passed.
Same I believe this is more then a collection altough, that being said there hasn't been trading evidence or cash registers found.. whatever is the past story, oh boy! What joy for Jack!!
That's what I just said. Maybe he was a distributor. He has way more stuff than what most hobby shops have. Just a thought.
Jack, from what you showed about the back of the locker, I would imagine you pulling between $200,000.00 - $300,000.00 out of this locker. Right place, right time and the right price. Way to go, Jack.
I am so glad you got this locker because you respect the thing someone once cherished you deserve this
The quality of the items and not finding comps just speaks to me of the rarity of the items. i bet the guy who got 55 of the cars was freaking out about getting them for less than a thousand dollars! My guess is $250,000 to $500,000 overall. Congratulations on this find of a lifetime! How sad the guy's family couldn't go through the locker because he clearly loved collecting. What a blessing for you and your family. How exciting, you will have stories to tell for years!
I work for an estate sale company and we cleaned out a house with the same contents but x10. New old stock model airplanes, cars, trains, toys. We had to have 3 online auctions and a 4 day sale. Took us three months to do. Very fun!
The model RR market can be a tough sale because the generations that were raised this, like newspapers, are much older and the younger generations didn't get involved with it as much. Being that I'm 53, I saw it happen in both newspapers and the model RR hobby. Once video games came out it started to die out. I really do hope you sell it all for the price you want! Cool find...
Don't usually watch the long ones but I'm engrossed in the million dollar unit 😁😁😁❤️❤️❤️🏴🏴🏴💰💰💰💰💰💰
Man, you hit a gold mine there! This guy must have had a shop for models and model trains or something. Märklin, Trix, Fleischmann, Schuco and all that is gold standard for models and trains in Germany. And since model trains are less popular nowadays, some of the stuff may be discontinued. In the "as new" condition it could bring a lot of money, if you don't rush it and wait for the right collectors who look for a certain model. Having bought all this for $1 was probably the best deal since the USA bought Alaska from the Russians. :)
As a fellow storage unit buyer this is exciting. These are the units that I dream of......
Man - just found out this is a thing - ha...
My father-in-law spent years before and after retirement buying trendy toys and Barbie dolls as a retirement investment. Unbeknownst to us all he had storage places all over town where he stashed purchases. When he was diagnosed with cancer in his early 80s he confessed to having these stashes. Sadly most of his stuff was worthless, especially the Barbies. He never knew. We had to deal with getti g rid of everything. This locker reflects that kind of hoarding. Luckily for you he hoarded something that retained value. So happy for you guys, have been watching you for awhile - I think since you had less than 20,000 subscribers. Way to go!
Wow, every package/box is turning into $$$. Love the happy Jack, like a kid in a candy store. Personally, not my type of items but your excitement Jack, is priceless. God is good all the time.
Like a kid in a toy store ;)
I love watching you. This would be my dream!!! I used to go to the auction and loved the surprise boxes! So much fun. Thank you also for praising God! He is where we get everything brother in Christ!!!
I'm so happy for you Jack. This is an amazing find. I'm eagerly watching this one. I loved it when you praised the Lord for leading you to this.....
I can see that you went back in time to a little kid so happy, your now a guy with all the train toys and more that your the big kid now. We fill you and the excitement going threw it.
After the “rich lady” & all the “expensive clothes & shoes”…. It’s time for some TOYS! And what a variety. So happy for you.
This could not have happened to a nicer family of Locker Nuts! Enjoy and celebrate! I’m so happy for you.
Thank you so much!!
I'm surprised that all the other buyers aren't following you to find out where you are buying all these great lockers for $1. This is crazy! Love watching and seeing the finds. Congrats again!
🤫 shh ❤️
I wouldn't be surprised if it is closer to a million. What an excellent find for you and your family for one dollar. Awesome payday!
We recently bought a locker FULL of cell phone accessories.... iPhone cases, Android cases, screen protectors, iPad cases, chargers, windshield phone holders. We paid $720 for the unit and there is easily upwards of $60,000 worth of brand new merchandise!!
You have been a great mentor Jack!
Congratulations!
I think this guy was a reseller or had a shop. My uncle from Germany , who is into trains,went nuts when i showed him this vid, he said you hit the holy grale!
Christmas everyday for the Locker Nut family. these great lockers are going to spoil you guys.
Wow ,what a unit for 1$ . I agree with Janna ,I say close to 500k . So happy for you ❤ Thanks for sharing ❤
Thank-you!!! I've been Jonz'n for a video since the last one! Yay! Happy!
Those Frontgate Christmas ornaments are full sets and run for around $500 a set! The trees are up there too. I believe the little lead men you paint yourself. My son does something like that. I'm changing my estimate to $750,000+!!!!!!
I'm challenging you to a live 8-hour unboxing, lol I will pop popcorn and put you on the big screen just to watch this locker!!
Totally agree and will do the same.Great score!
A huge party w some one bringing Jack and Janna food
I have bought a few for just a 1$, but have never scored like this!! Can't help but be jealous, but am soooooo happy for you!!! You have had some epic $1 units in the last few months!! Keep it up and congratulations!!
Trix, Marklin, Fleischmann, Roco they are all German toy train companies. Faller, Pola, Volmer are all German construction kit companies. ALL high end, expensive.
I agree ,Märklin and Fleischmann are the top German model train companies!
Model Rail stuff?
Marklin is primo German gear. The oldest company in continuous operation in that business. Roco is high-quality gear, too. They started out making 1:87 scale military vehicle models of excellent accuracy and detail and as far as I know are still going as well
Trix operated out of both Germany and England for quite a while, before being absorbed by Marklin.
This locker looks like the "bulk store" for a serious hobby shop.
This locker reminds me of a store here called Hobby Town. They carry all sorts of specialty trains, models, etc.
My dad would order his Marklin trains through them.
Bet he had a store!!
I would think if so.... The receipt s would be w discouns
Thank you so much for all the hard work you do and making these wonderful videos. I love the way you empty your lockers, so very organized . I love it when you have your set up for going through the locker. When you have your table, your garbage cans , recyclables and your saved items. I also like that you put up the prices as you’re going through your items. I understand that this takes a lot of time to do it is very much appreciated. It makes me very nervous to watch others who just stormed through their lockers pulling things out I’m always thinking they’re breaking things and it gives me great anxiety. So again thank you so much for all of your hard work.
Jack, your excitement is infectious! While I have no interest in trains, planes and automobiles, ( or models of them) I can't help be totally excited for you and how much you guys stand to make on this locker!! 🤑
I know that having to sort through everything and then having to search for comps and list it all is slowing you down and you're not getting videos out as quickly and usual, but it's making the anticipation to see what's next in this locker, go through the roof!! Saying I can't wait for the next video is an understatement! 🙃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I am 65 and I remember people having a passion for train sets. They often built the community and tracks in their basements. I wonder what this guys plan was? Was he going to build a town when he retired? I feel lucky to have found the train lockers now, I can watch back to back. Waiting would have been brutal!! lol
@@christyalo5244 , the man who lived next door to us had a massive train set up in his basement! I remember when we were kids, his basement windows faced our driveway and we would peek in the windows to see if his trains were running! I think he kept them on for our entertainment as he was a widower living with his adult son who had health issues.
If you go back to the start of Lockernuts train videos, he explains what the guy had planned for all of these trains & I believe he also has a link so you can see the original version of what he had planned, an enormous set up in Germany if I am remembering correctly! It is amazing!
@@I_am_me8560 That is so cool!! I can picture it! I remember a neighbor of mine asking my friends and I if we wanted to see what a color TV was like. We sat on the curb in front of their house until just before The Wonderful World of Disney came on. She let us come in and watch the intro, Tinkerbell creating fireworks of different colors and all that. We were mesmerized . Then she made us leave lol Thanks for the heads up, I'll go look for that video!!
I’ve got a friend who has twin single garages on her house. She has a whole side devoted to a massive train setup that runs on 3 levels with the top level almost hitting the ceiling. She has a Plexiglass door built in so she can leave the main door open at night during the holidays and light up the whole scene using village lighting. Half of the front of the lowest level becomes a Christmas Village and folks are invited to walk up and enjoy seeing the trains run. It’s soooo much fun to see the little kids faces light up at the Christmas scene, then the fascination as they watch the train wend their way through the entire layout. She also opens the outer door on noice spring and fall evenings and people come over to watch the trains run and see what changes she has made in the different scenic areas (she changes them often). I hate to think how much time and money she has invested in all of it, but at least it’s not just sitting in a locker gathering dust. It’s out being enjoyed by a huge variety of people on a regular basis.
wow! Youre looking happier, thinner, healthier, cuter by the minute! I definitely think the shorter hair has made you look younger.
These hour long videos are amazing!! Thank you for all of your hard work that goes into putting these out there!
Thank you, I appreciate it! This one took me approximately 10 hours to edit. LOL, they aren't easy to put together at that length!
@@LockerNuts how? How do you find the time to edit video, buy and sort units, list stuff on ebay, run a weekly auction and still ship out everything in a timely manner? I sell on ebay, i have bought and sorted storage units and i know how much work is involved with the volume you are doing. How do you do it? I know Janna and the kids help a ton but you are still the one that lists ebay and packs everything not to mention does 95% of the sorting. Oh AND the editing. Props brother.
@@LockerNuts So very pleased for you and the family, Jack.😀Slovakia! Remember Czechoslovakia, now Czech republic and Slovakia. My son used to live there.
@@marketsquareus thanks so much. I do think that I work hard, and I definitely work long hours. But honestly I love it.
@@LockerNuts The price of YT fame eh!
Wowza! What a crazy deal! 5 totes is more than I get a year as a disabled veteran! What a dream unit! Congrats Jack & Jenna!!! Just astounding!!!
If this turns out to be your best locker ever, then this will probably be the best locker unveiling that I will ever see! I'm so happy that you're taking your time and showing so much. I hope this locker is 50 episodes! Thank you so much, keep 'em coming. I love Locker Nuts!
50? Ei no please. He could find the locker owner's family maybe and see if he can do something for them.
Also those homes of yesterday and today models are the type of models used in the opening scene of Mr. Rogers' neighborhood, so they are very nice
Best ive seen was on TV show. Someone found kinda 200 or so paintigs by a famous painter was around 1,2 million dollars.
@@Tekillyah They said they didn't want to deal with it.
@@fl4grant Yeah thinking about it I don't want to deal with that too.
I would definitely recommend getting the trains that don’t have current comps APPRAISED so that you maximize your profits and don’t sell yourself short. This locker could fund your 401K and take care of you in your retirement!
Yes you’re right, the guy who bought that definitely saw them as an investment. So it should be wise to do the same with few pieces.
He’s selling those items at their retail cost, not their antique value.
@@RMFATO What a waste... I see a few pieces that go for way more than retail, and collectors will eat them up. It's not even a cold item, they are hot pieces that WILL sell. =(
I'm ready have my coffee ready for you to get back to this exciting locker love you guys
This really looks like the storage unit of a hobby shop that may have gone out of business. And what didn't sell during the out of business sale got stored and forgotten
So so happy for you love going on this journey with you and your family when all these videos are done you should post a recap of the most expensive items and an estimate on your total profits to see how close you are to your 1 million estimate love from 🇨🇦
I am so happy for you! I have enjoyed every box you have opened. I check TH-cam every day for your videos. I just love you and your beautiful wife. So much fun for this old lady.
Just a heads up "Grey Funnel Line" is the nickname British sailors gave to the Royal Navy ...i`m proud to say "I did my time on the Grey Funnel Time" 8yrs of it..
This makes me want to attempt to buy a locker one of these days. I appreciate your statement of faith as well, I'm a Christian as well.
after seeing all these amazing lockers you and janna have been gettin, I am so unbelievably happy for you two.. you deserve every second of it and it's so exciting to watch..
Thank you 😊
This excitement feels like I felt watching the train lockers
This dude must've owned a hobby shop or something. That's quite the collection.
Seems to me he was a hoarder with a lot of money and probably a compulsive buying disorder. I doubt he had a shop, he bought this stuff at retail price over the years (the receipts span around 20 years so far), he seems to have bought everything he could and then just stored it away.
There's a saying, "He who dies with the most toys wins"
I agree! The "no tax" receipt on a US purchase would indicate he has a tax number!
This is beyond a blessing . It is a dreamer locker for sure once in a lifetime find.
I’m pretty confident you’ll make your money back on this locker 👍😀
LOL
If I were the family of this guy that passed, and I was watching these videos, I would literally be sick..
The family knew and saw what was inside the locker. They decided to let it go to auction because it was too much work.
I would buy a RUBBER LEG & SPIKED TOE SHOE & KICK MY OWN BEHIND!! I wouldn't be able to look at a train or cross a train track for the rest of my life!!! 😅😢
I would imagine it’s hard not to get overwhelmed…..now I get why some lockers you have for months. It’s a lot of work! 😊
Can we talk about how cool the other guy was by not trying to bid you up and letting it go for a dollar
Man, I'm getting the adrenaline rush from these finds just watching the video. I can't imagine scoring something like this. And for $1... Just incredible.
Seriously, this is my dream unit... not because I'm into those collectables, it's because I'm not into them. If it was stuff I was into, I'd be too tempted to keep way too much of it. With stuff like this, I'd be more than happy to make quick sales like you did with the cars and just get everything moved as quickly as possible. Rare stuff that's obviously really cool that a ton of people will want and I have no desire to keep it? Dream come true. All for $1.
Haven't finished the video yet, but seeing the models, wow! If I was just starting out and got that for a buck, I'd work on it non-stop.
Jack, I admire you in that you prove that hard work produces it's own luck.
These German trains, carriages etc are not cheap. Even the small bits. My husband would be so envious
I like that you are respectful to who it belonged to. I know it's about the money, but that was someone's life.
Hello from vietnam! I love your videos and i’m really happy for you to found such an amazing locker like that.
Not even half way through Jack & every box I've seen is $1000 or more. So maybe 7-10 boxes I lost count. How many boxes are in there? 50? 100? 200? So at this rate you might have 50k, 100k, $200k! Yowza! I'm rooting for you Jack! Lovin' it!!!
Hey Jack, I didn't see you there! Yup, this locker looks to be your best to date, can't wait for the other 20 err....50 episodes!
God truly blessed you and your family on this unit ! It would be interesting to add up all the receipts and find out what he spent on his hobby and to get a total of what you make on it.
19:18 Revell Fast Attack Boat S-143 A Gepard ... $68 bucks
This locker is the very definition of a goldmine. Well done Jack!! Thank you so much for sharing this with us...this is the stuff dreams are made of...
Back to the vid!!
This has to be your best locker ever, this is unreal.
Wow this guys family will be kicking themselves when they see this video! My guess is around $600,000 worth of stuff.
You are going to make a lot of collectors happy with this locker
You look amazing since your weight loss,keep healthy. Love from Malta in Europe .🇲🇹🇲🇹🇲🇹
Hello, the "Gold" parts that you found, and the Envelopes contain what we in the modelling world call "PE" (Photo Etch) they are indeed replacement parts for models and add to the realism,,Look for them online and you will see that they are not cheap..somewhere in there is a BIG model aircraft Carrier waiting to be built..Best Wishes.
I'm a reseller out of Utah and have purchased several lockers/storage units. Never came close to this. Once in a lifetime!
new sub here! what made me sub was your enthusiasm for getting 2 sold right away, the fact you are thanking God in church, and your honesty when describing the pricing subscription website. i can tell you are genuine.
Absolutely bonkers. You won the storage unit lottery for sure. Couldn't have happened to a better guy. Congrats and looking forward to the next video! =)
I wonder if this gentleman bought these train cars as an investment. Perhaps he thought his children would benefit. Im glad that you and your family will appreciate what this man collected.
Oooooou waaaau Jack. Amazing score. The Roco lokomotiv are around 400 Euro to 800 Euro. Great finds. Much love from Europe-Austria 57:54 i Look thet up 805 US Dollar
I like the fact you are humble and thankful. Must be what is in your heart.
I too love how excited you get with your locker finds, it's like a kid in a candy store! What a blessing this year has been for you and your family!!!
Saw the video was an hour, decided to get a mocha & toast so I could sit back & enjoy. Not just enjoying the unpacking, but also the joy you're getting out of this. Have fun & we'll enjoy with you ❤😁
You do a lot of work to resale that. You guys deserve every penny you make.
Thanks Diane!
One million dollars maybe 2 million today if you sold all as a retirement project since most is not really made any longer , would take 1-3 years possibly to complete as fun project less time as work project. Americana across the board. The final display of intense project would blow us all away, ingenious idea to enjoy the cool stuff.
When you cannot comp an item, why don’t you put them up for auction? This will give you an idea on how many people are interested in them and what the going rate/cost is. You could be leaving money on the table. You could start the auction atthe price you want and see if it gets any action.
I love that you can't stop laughing for joy. Always ordering everything. Please bring a cloth and a brush next time you go to that warehouse. Tell us eventually the total. I bet it's over a million dollars. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Yes it maybe be a lot of money. But we need to acknowledge how hard you work on the lockers.
What a deal man👍🏾 Too many people out here pumping up units and not making much profit but you hit the jackpot with this locker. Plus you didn't have to pay 30K
This might be the old stock from when Talbot's Toys in San Mateo closed back in 2019. They had a huge model and train section in the center of the store that was separated from their bikes and modern toys sections, so it would make sense that this is its own separate locker with orders of multiples, and just a small amount of personal stuff thrown in. The owners passed recently (husband back in 2015 and wife just this year).
But how would the individual purchase receipts fit that theory?
I could see that being a possibility. The area code from one of the receipts is a 925 number, which I believe to be alameda/ contra costa. 20-30 minute drive from Talbot's of San Mateo.
Jack you are one blessed man. Only you could get a locker like this for $1 Congrats to you and the family!!!!
Absolutely love this locker, I don't collect these but love seeing them all. Way over 100, 000.00 for sure. Amazing
What a great locker. I think you should be able to make about 650K on this one. Great buy for a dollar. The best to you, Janna and the rest of the family.
Congratulations on your weight loss Jack. You look great and you look healthier. I can hear more energy in your voice as well. I just lost a bunch of weight too so I know the feeling of freedom from feeling horrible
Lol me too. I’ve lost 55 lbs since March. Congrats on your weight loss!!
Single guy, great job, lived in the train store. I don't think he ever had a layout. No track, transformers ,switches, or used trains. Just a collector holder. Not a bad thing. He had fun!
You are physically looking younger and healthier.
I’ll second that! This lifestyle suits you!
Maybe the hair dye
Jack, you are looking amazing!! Have you had to move your Truck and Van seat yet?? Always a great feeling!!! Congratulations!!!
I just love the postivity!
I agree!
Oh what a blessing this is. You are having the time of your life right there. Can't wait to see round 3. 😄😄😄
26:31 It is a hard drive from the Sony PlayStation 2. Fat model.
55:03 Eu 47 = 14 US He had a big foot. :)
1:02:42 Slovakia is a country in Central Europe. :)
I agree with the sewing machine guy. DO NOT sell the BRIENNA at the Stockton flee market for $10.00. The buyer can order a power cord and parts from a dealer or the company. Awsome find..
A perfect time of year to sell these!
I'd love to explore a locker like that. These videos are the next best thing. Congrats.
Wow! Unbelievable locker! This is truly the most amazing, profitable locker I could only dream about finding, especially for $1.00! Congratulations Jack! Can’t wait to see what you find next!
