Absolutely! Always! ( :

Wouldn't miss one, you two keep up the great work!

[@winterprism9227]

Ideas for anything you don't donate to like a 2nd hand place, maybe consider donating to a women's shelter, homeless shelter, your local children's services place or a place that helps veterans. I feel like the painting was more like Eliza from My Fair Lady. Although Audrey Hepburn was in Breakfast At Tiffany's which I am assuming is where she came up with the name Tiffany from.

[@jvjdrn]

Let’s play “What’s the backstory?” for this storage unit? Young couple with kid moves back home with parents. Not enough room for some stuff. Hoped the Nike collection would fund kid’s college but then the price of diapers went up. Stashed vodka in nursery to cope with disappointment.

[@amandac298]

I think you've nailed the circumstances 😂😂😂

[@OliveDNorth]

Lol

[@GTTorino69]

This was obvious just from opening the door, I would have never touched this unit. It screams “broke young couple with a kid”

[@tbrooks5015]

😂 💯

[@slonecznikdoniczkowy]

​@@GTTorino69 i just love the " Saint " people. If it wasn't them, someone else would bought it. What's the difference? I feel sorry for every single of those units, but it's a life.

[@RetiredRosie]

Tiffany is Audrey Hepburn from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Tiffany being the jewelry store in NYC.

[@marycloutier8295]

I love how your wife keeps on encouraging your small finds throughout this unit. You are a great team! I learn a lot from your experiences with buying units, so no failure there. Thanks for bringing us along.😀

[@beardedthriftmachine]

:) she does very well - and keeps me going

[@davidsawchak1330]

I really appreciate you guys keeping it real and showing a unit that is not so great! It's rare to find honest youtubers that aren't staging and doing fake things!

[@dawnfiniff9338]

Her name is not Tiffany, her name is Holly Golightly. She was played by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

[@edgecitytraders5498]

If you want to check them out, a local battered women’s shelter or organization that re-houses families would ❤ those baby items.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

💯 correct

[@kathleencheyney8063]

Grandma here where are your gloves young man!!! Yes you can resell computers... Don't toss things around... You don't want to break things.... Have fun be safe...

[@barbarapond1510]

I liked this better than the thrift stores. The shoes were good finds and the bed looked pretty nice as well. The infant car seat looked pretty nice. I think there was quite a bit to put on face book marketplace.

[@NELLYSCHASE]

Bedding towels pillows can be donated to your local pet shelter FYI

[@katrinawilliams2015]

I've noticed a lot lately that storage unit buyers are so quick to jump to , 'that ain't worth nothing ' .. I love watching these kinda videos n so do my grandchildren. They look all excited on the finds n then you say it's just worth nothing. My granddaughter asked if I could get the toys before you threw them out. I told her that I'm sure they will be given to a boy or girl that needs toys n not thrown in the trash.. sorry for rant .. have a blessed new year.. 🎉

[@jvjdrn]

I always wonder why people pay so much to store stuff that isn’t worth the storage fees? Hopefully there is more as you go along. 3:19

[@lynnedelacy2841]

It’s called Hope - circumstances change and you have to move quickly and so you put stuff in storage hoping to get back on track quickly and you go from month to month not wanting to admit defeat and eventually you have to give in and give up

[@susancousins8766]

You both find so many wonderful things to sell. It’s amazing to watch you both! The best thing is you always make (me for sure) laugh at things you say or do. Always having fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜

[@catherinemcneill7045]

People will use the mattresses, box springs, and rails if they are clean. We actually kept one that was left in unit we rented after being flooded. It was a $500 name brand like new. Sorry that unit was such a disappointment. Hopefully you can get your investment back with shoes, puffer jacket,notebook, printer, cords & stuff. Maybe there's a surprise in that little jewelry box, and the box will sell. Blessings, Cats Meow

[@marya31625]

just a suggestion if you don't already do this, next time you come across blanket and possibly towels you should find a animal shelter that can use them for the animals that come into them. Also stuffed animal toys. Our community does donates and collects them in our area. Just a thought if you don't do it already. Love your content!

[@shalyndria]

Dying to know if anyone tried to come down the hallway to get to another storage unit while you were unboxing. that was quite the pile you guys had :)

[@beardedthriftmachine]

Luckily no but we were there super early in the morning

[@nancyparks195]

I was wondering too!

[@timt1543]

Love the Storage Locker videos! Wife & I bought them back in 2022. So much fun, and you never know what you’ll find!

[@juliaherbert5342]

Love your channel! Just an idea on your options for the kid stuff. My husband and I resell on the side. We have 2 kids and constantly have kid stuff to get rid of. We dump our kid stuff into consignment events (not a store). We also use it to dump items that aren't moving in our store and attempt to make our money back. It's like having a garage sale, but not actually having to sit for hours and they attract way more customers. It's tedious work, but it's a way for our kids to make money off their toys and an outlet to dump some dead items. Every sale has different rules. At times we can dump new items and it doesn't have to be kid related.

[@thriftyzrs6966]

Looks like a lot of booth items for your peddler mall spot.

[@DonnaF1556]

That shredder it looks like it came from Target and i paid 50+ for mine. You dropped the top part but i think it will still work. Donna xoxo

0:12 You are the Sherlock Holmes of storage units!🕵🏻 However, professional packing and shipping companies would not generally use U-Haul boxes.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

Yea but this boxes aren’t cheap….

[@edgecitytraders5498]

True. I think of them as over-priced, last resort boxes that you get when you don’t have time to go to Walmart.

[@beardedthriftmachine]

@@edgecitytraders5498 I agree - we kept some of the big boxes we found -

[@angelaroberts1278]

My husband and i buy units, we have got all kinds. I remember one time getting a unit that was stacked with brand new home depot boxes, i thought the same, expensive boxes should be good stuff, right. Nope all trash 😒 it was either staged or an eviction and someone supplied the boxes, you just never know. Good luck for the next one 🎉

[@beardedthriftmachine]

I thought the same here

[@queenbcrissy9923]

Love the "Texas Roadhouse" style steak knife being used to open the boxes! 🥩🔪📦

[@anitahaviland3036]

They bought the boxes and did the packing themselves. Professionals called have everything breakable and other stuffed wrapped in clean newsprint.

[@LilTempo25]

Off the cuff I saw about $700 worth of stuff from what was shown. Thing is, you gotta be willing to sell electronics. Those monitors, laptops, games accessories alone could net you about $300. If you sell that big TV for $200, it'll sell quick locally. Just gotta have patience with low ballers locally. The printers if they work, can also go for about $20-$40 or part out the paper feeder to sell on ebay. If you're willing to get the most out of that unit, you could possibly double the investment.

[@Marc-xr8me]

Its easyer to make big bucks after 30 years of buying and selling i know one thing ruff and fast sorting and telling no value to be made YOU LOSE MONEY small items sell local and enough small money is also good money maybe somthing to consider

[@l.m6144]

This was fun to watch! Strangely, I felt like I was on a treasure hunt myself! You have probably already thought of this, but just in case……A quick way to recoup a little of your investment with little effort would be to take the kids stuff to Once Upon a Child. Love your content! Thanks!!

[@RennaKay]

If the kids clothes are in good condition, take them to Once Upon A Child. They pay cash so you might recoup some money before you donate it

[@dawnhughes4018]

The toys too!

Better luck next time, looked good, but didn't produce the goods. Got a few sellable things. God bless stay safe until the next video 💓 😍

[@marjoriejohnson4559]

I think that could have been an eviction cleanout because of the random way stuff was thrown in boxes.. They put it in a storage unit that the evicted has to go pay for, but they decided not worth it. Like the renters took what they wanted and left and the landlord couldn't legally throw away their stuff so they boxed it all up and put it in a storage unit that no one ever claims.

[@carmelakhourie1174]

You can put together a kids lot of clothes if you have same size for like 10 pieces for $30. That crib with mattress on Facebook market would sell in a day for $100 if hardware is there.

I bet you could get at least $200 for that sleigh bed on market place and was there a stroller in there? I think that car seat sits inside of a stroller since there wasn't a base for it. Baby stuff sells good on market place.

I have had good luck with dirty old units lol. More to clean but far more money to be made

True

[@throwitatthewall6289]

My wife and I just finished a unit that was full of junk that couldn’t be seen from photos. I mean there was nothing at all of value and just loads of stuff everywhere. Except we found the wife’s stash of purses. So we’ve made (once they sell) about $600 on $70 unit. I’m not sure the work was worth it though.

[@ThriftedSpirit]

Last one Auction ID: 3718125 I see booth stuff and lots of it.

One I spent $30 on and got 5 Jim shore pieces out of. One $90 and make like 10 trips (not exaggerating) to good will but came out with about $600 mostly baby ralph lauren, swear someone was living in it for covid. I pulled silver out of my little $130 unit. My $10 unit had a transmitter worth $150, and the first unit I bought was $170 with a stash of first run Power Ranger posters. @@throwitatthewall6289
