    I do NOT think this was someone’s unit. I THINK THIS was items left at units not completely cleaned and the facility placed them in there in hope someone does the cleaning for em. I hate to see you were maybe a victim of this Moose’s. It’s a gamble. Some places “salt” the units in hope of bids. Another good video Moose.

      too many things fit. The smoker stuff in multiple bags. The purse with the lighter, etc... It's a person that suddenly realized that she paid a LOT in storage, compared to the value of the stuff she stored. And just thought .. HECK with it..

      When I finalised my storage I found a lock on it and the new owners knew nothing about it so I cut it off and when I opened it up there was a considerable amount of the original contents missing which of course the new owners knew nothing.

      I’m sorry Renee! I’ve come to believe that people are so darn complex! I want to tell you that I got my daughter a storage unit to store her furniture when she left her abusive husband ....in the meantime I got really sick and ended up in the hospital for open-heart surgery. After surgery I was in rehab....long story short.....I forgot about the damn storage unit that was in my name! She assumed I was continuing to pay.... but then I went to my sisters house after rehab and never got the mail

    • @carolodonnell70
      @carolodonnell70 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just some prices I think would be helpful. Stevia by the small box, about 75 or so packets is $5.00 here. Sink strainer about $2.00. Our dollar stores are often out of them. Aluminum foil about 4.00 a package these days for thin sheet, small packages (just bought some) so if it is unopened score. Bowl covers, not hair shower caps run about $2.30 to 3.00. Cotton balls are running about $2.00 to 4.00 depending on count and if cotton not synthetic. Put a few of your postcards old ones with scenes in the frame. I think that they will fit or the enlarge ones. Nothing special just a theme and sell for 3.00. I haven't gotten thru the entire list yet but this will give you enough info to price at the flea market. Priced correctly you will get your money back at a dollar of two for each item. A box of just stuff, earrings etc at 50 cents another at 25 cents for rummage. When people rummage they see other stuff. ; P. Yes I'm bossy aren't I? Use to sell at fleas too. PS take old pills to the fire stations to dispose of.

    These kinds of lockers do make me sad (especially when you find a few random kids’ toys) , but I appreciate the care and sensitivity you express while going through the lockers. Another person mentioned that perhaps this person was living in their car and then got the storage unit when they lost it and had to get their things out quickly (garbage and all). I had another, sadder, thought that perhaps they were using the unit for a temporary shelter ... I thought I saw a name written on the floor in the back, perhaps written by a child? It might explain the apple pie, candy, etc. Sorry, I didn’t want to make this sad, just wanted to say how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

    Not to be mean, but wouldn't it be kind of funny if the storage unit auctioneer described the unit (without showing it) as follows: "Unit belonged to a smoker who rolls their own, takes medication, gets the munchies at the craziest time and likes to gamble while reading their bible!!" Oh well like you said not very exciting but might get your money back. Maybe even a profit Renee.... depending on how much you can get for the candle and purses at the flea market. Love all your videos girl. All content is great and I always enjoy watching what you find! Take care!

(Although, if you use any of those household items, you made back way more than $10.) If you happen upon a storage unit with a trunk full of gold, I'm gonna believe you.

      You're definitely going to make your money back on the cooler, but also realize that if you went to the grocery store to buy some of those things it would definitely come out to be more than $10. So this might actually be one of the best buys you could have made.

    There are also people that live in storage units. When I lived in Tucson there was a man with 2 dogs and 2 cats that lived in a storage unit down the street. The owner let people get away with it. Sadly the place changed owners and the man had to leave and his cats lived near by in a wash. He used to come and feed them. One day he never came back and one of the cats found its way to my house and I kept her, Her ears where damage from frost and she was very old. I had her for about 6 years.

    I have seen plenty of these in my buying days, we call them "manager's specials" things left behind by tenants and auctioned to curious buyers, it happens.
    My advice to people is, buy units that have entire households, meaning kitchen appliances, furniture, lots of boxes, these are usually the units where people have valuables, not just stuff that doesn't fit where they live.

    Those biohazard bags could be used for Halloween decor.

    In some areas landlords can not just throw out or sell the things people leave behind and are required to store them for 1 year. They often use storage facilities for this instead of dealing with it on their own property because the facility give them a receipt and after the 12 months is up the contract is expired. As you can guess some apartments are left full of trash instead of "goods" and the landlords just jam it into the units too forget about it. Usually it shows in the packing.

    The silver canister looking thing that you took the bottom off of and there was batteries, that is a LED light. You simply pull up on the top end to pull up the lights and turn the light on. The two silver metal arms come together to carry the light. Its a canister light.

    Something tells me you could have got it for 5 but when that guy thought he had that other unit for 5 and the bid went to 15 that really hurt me. YOU GOT YOUR MONEY BACK ON THE PHONE!! The cooler is extra.

    Units don't go up for auction at $10 usually. It usually a month's or more behind in rent plus fees. People end up homeless at times and leave their stuff in a unit and "visit" their stuff and hang out for the day if it's an AC inside unit and leave when the facility closes. It depends on the manager on staff. Usually they won't let you hang out all day, they don't want them sleeping in their units.

  • @bunacat1
    @bunacat1 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    It wasn't great, but you will get more than $10 back. The cooler alone is worth over $10. It can't always be a winner, but you didn't lose.

    Okay Renee, you have to remember you don't throw away your junk anymore! You could have taken the pie box, candy wrappers, lottery tickets and bio hazard bag etc, glued them to a page with your $10 recite with the date you bought the locker. Wrote "You find the strangest things!!!" on the page and put it in your Junk Journal.
    A great memory to save...Cyndee

    The storage people keep the trash in some of the units and some people buy/pay them to clean up the trash. It is simple to understand.

    This is real deal unit buying. Most of the time it is crud. I will take a chance with crud units where either one of mine are that way I can use the dumpster there without problems.

    • @PaperandMoose

      No dumping at this facility, have to take everything with you. Luckily it only amounted to a few bags of trash!

    Interesting about finding those cotton balls because when cotton balls get rotten, you can’t pick any more cotton in those old cotton fields back home. Unit may have been a bust but yet still entertaining. At least the moth liked it as well.

  • @vinyl1Earthlink

    Unlike many commenters, I thought this was a pretty decent unit for $10. If you go to a store, they'll charge you $3.99 for a roll of aluminum foil. A skilled reseller could easily get $100 out of a unit like this - the flashlight, cell phone, purses, frames, cigarette machine, cooler.

    • @PaperandMoose
      @PaperandMoose  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The foil, cotton balls, and dryer sheets were good household finds. Since they were not opened, I'll just add these to my stockpile and essentially made my $10 back on them.

  • @julesiou12

    It's nice to see a unit like this. I'm with you, I've watched some of these videos and often wonder why they store actual junk. I don't think they are cheap to store either. I think you're right in that they've already taken what they wanted and left the rubbish for them to sort. It's the only thing that makes sense. Great to watch so thanks for sharing x

    Hi Renee, the silver round item is a light. I just bought two for my home for emergencies, it should pop up. But at lease you'll be getting your money back and some items that are new you can sell them at the swap meet.
