80s and 90s Christmas decorations are vintage and people do collect it.

[@laralewis135]

Yeah there looks to be sold listings for those porcelain houses and now is the time to list those!

[@appleatchaadventure7664]

Between the deep sea fishing gear and the golf clubs - you're in the 💰

[@debbiecrabtree9541]

The speakers, wiring and radio shack stuff could be sold. Lots of people looking for replacement components or cords for their favorite existing equipment.

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

There are stereo cables that sell for thousands of dollars. These aren't them, but you should know such cables exist and check anything that looks unusual.

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

I watch a lot of storage auction channels - Wade's Ventures, Locker Nuts, 2nd Cents. What you have to do is avoid losing money on the so-so units, and then make tons of money on the home runs. The stuff you bought is OK, you'll make a some money. Some of the golf clubs are good, the Odyssey putter and the Ping irons are worth quite a bit - the putter alone is your $75 back The Big Bertha is obsolete and can be tossed or donated. Some fishing reels are very expensive, and the poles look good. Don't worry about the Christmas - that's you hobby. If you want to make money, you have to learn to sell stuff that doesn't interest you personally.

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

After watching the whole video, I see about $400-500 in saleable items - definitely not a loss, just not a home run.

[@MyOzric1]

I think the Ping clubs are worth more than $75. They are nice!

[@SassySue67]

Renee,looks like you’ll get your money back on those golf clubs. The ping i2 is listing over $150.00 by itself. So far I think the worst storage unit you bought was the one that was full of medical records.

[@laralewis135]

The Odyssey putter might be worth a bit too.

[@just.j5302]

I couldn't help it, but I chuckled when you were getting that green thing out and had your arm wrapped around the fishing poles...I was picturing Lucille Ball caper in the Lucy Show when she worked at the bank. 🤣🤪 And that's totally something I would do! 😂 Callaway clubs are worth $, I think.

[@sylvanramble1757]

Don't be disouraged, you really did get a nice lot. Perhaps in some videos you could share what some of the items ended up selling for so we can learn a bit from your adventures. On to the next one...

[@mom4966]

Had to laugh at that box of cords 😂😂. Everybody has one of those! Laughed because my Daughter who is an art major called me just last week asking if I had any she could use for a project that she had to create using different kind of cords! We also picked up extra at a fill a bag sale!!! Can’t wait to see the finished piece of ART!

[@Darryl_Smith]

That speargun that was with those fishing rods will cover your costs alone.

[@udadventures1335]

You can now go fishing in Taco's pond lol

[@PaperandMoose]

True! I used to go fishing all the time when I was little. Never did like that part of taking the fish off the hook though!

[@SalvagedSoul1111]

LOL, For golf balls.

[@SandyPeake]

Dang! What a crock! I'm sorry.😮

[@fareast_de]

Lol, slowly but steadily this channel is changing to "NJ Storage Wars XXL". 😅Christmas, fragile, porcelain sounds like a perfect combination of valuable stuff. Wow, the fishing equipment including the spear should remind you of your childhood, that´s for sure. 😉 The golf set looked like a decent profit, not a bad result for just 75,- bucks. Bummer that the Christmas stuff wasn´t vintage or antique. Anyways, not a bad result at all. Keep it up, Renée, and see you soon in the next storage locker (perhaps) containing grandpas gold coin collection . 😁 Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

Storage units are almost all that’s available at the moment! Though I tried to bid on a few online & the prices were insane! One unit with maybe 30 clear plastic totes sold for almost $700 😬 The online photographs of the unit were all fuzzy, so you couldn’t really see what was in the totes & only a few things around them like some wooden plant stands, a big bird for a garden, older workout equipment, etc. The description of the unit was “Boxes, stickers, household.” Stickers? Haha, maybe that’s why they bid almost $700! I will be going to the thrift store in the next few days, hopefully we will find something exciting to feature in a video!

[@misslannie73]

I know it’s not quite your jam, Renee, but it will all sell. I bet you will be in profit. Will you be able to retire? Not this time darling. Take care xx

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose It´s one of the advantages of yt that we know that topics like "storage wars" are nearly always blockbusters. So, you always got some nice little assurance when you are gambling with storage units. And that´s what finally counts if you aren´t a millionaire. 😉

[@HollywoodHaunter]

I love that you take chances. I think this new storage unit is your new Las Vegas 😉 It's so true about the good find, lame find, good find, lame find pattern. Yard sales this year were awful awful awful but I had one sale this year that made up for all the bad ones. I love watching all your adventures and always look forward to what you're up to next.

[@glpfann]

Even when you have a bad storage unit or pallet it's not without its good points. We all can learn from our mistakes so that we are less likely to make bad decisions in the future. Treasure hunting is hard but that's what makes it so exciting when we find the good stuff.

[@maureenmunro2826]

I got myself a precarious situation here……put that on a tee shirt!😂

[@gregsmith7428]

Ping golf is top of the line, don't throw those out! You scored big on this one!

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Renee. What happened with this pallet Auction? All I can say is you tried your best. But I think you can get your money back on the fishing rods, and the golf ⛳ clubs. They are an amazing find. Still you didn't look through the whole thing of clothing. And what as bout the other pallet. You can get almost all your money back on the pallet alone too. God Bless you and stay safe this winter Renee. Love you. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🤑🤑⛳⛳⛳

[@iamelcapitan]

It’s not your ideal Renee pallets but you’ve definitely got triple or quadruple your investment in the fishing rods and golf clubs. Plus you got a hammock to relax in while you contemplate why people store the weirdest things

[@alanbirkner1958]

I don't have adventures. I enjoy watching your adventures with trash picking, house clean outs, auctions, etc. Tina, Al's wife

[@denisebunker6674]

I love these. Almost as good as those garbage bags a couple of years ago.

[@trishferry3533]

I think you made out very well with this unit for 75. One ping club could be worth 800 dollars. The club with the red sock on it has a computer chip in it to measure your swing.

[@stephenritz5581]

Hey Renee - fair to middlin' storage unit but it looks like you will make you money back. 1:13 - it's not a lamp but, like most things, it could be! Probably not it's best life, though. Guessing the baking soda in the hassock was to absorb odors, maybe? I haven't heard the word "hassock" since I lived up north. I don't know if it's worth your time to check, but some of those cords might be valuable to folks who have older electronics with missing cords - I know I do. Sorry the Xmas wasn't vintage - but at least you don't have to ask yourself, "Where am I going to put this in the house." Definitely have been heavy on the storage videos lately but with the excitement of that one, the anticipation of what's in the rest has kept me interested, anyway. Good luck with the stuff & have a great Wednesday afternoon. Next week at this time we'll all be running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to get ready for Thursday. We have about 25 coming over - but it used to be 50 (kids married or moved away, people passed on). Hope you and all your subscribers are looking forward to a fun and relaxing day.

[@PaperandMoose]

We've had a good amount of storage auctions in the area, so have to jump on them. Strike while the iron is hot! Come December, who knows what will be available and the weather people are saying we could get at least 3 feet of snow leading up to Christmas. Of course, that's over a month away and things could change by then, but that means the flea markets that are still open will slow down as well. I sold today at the flea market and meant to record but had a good size rush of people when setting up, so had to focus on selling. Then when I have a lull, I have to focus on tidying up my tables so that I can put out more. 25 people coming over?! You'll need a pretty big bird! My family is getting together and I'm responsible for the dinner rolls, so a trip to the grocery store a few days before will be in order. I could attempt to bake my own rolls, but I would be tempting fate relying on my own baking and not having packages of edible rolls to bring. That's the benefit of not being known as a good cook, you get the easy items to bring to family dinners!

[@auntbee2167]

The Sweet Hawaiian Rolls are the only ones that anyone wants anymore.

[@PaperandMoose]

@@auntbee2167 That's exactly the type that I'm going to buy & bring too!

[@r.e.b8395]

That tri pod looks like the base to surveying equipment

[@dprid]

Or it's a rod rest for beach fishing - I've seen beach anglers using trips to hold the rods.

[@1HonestAbe]

I thought so too. The large points at the end... something larger than something used for a Camera. Even the small cheap ones are over $50. Larger ones in the $300-$500 range. Could be high end. Facebook marketplace and see what someone offers. The New Umbrella.. easily $30 as well. Some retail for $80-$90 easily. 1 Fishing pole with reel could be another $30. She won't lose money.

[@cherylstaley1233]

Golf clubs are worth money, Callaway and ping depending on what they are and the fishing equipment could be worth some money don’t give up until you’ve investigated everything

[@ppshale7223]

Renee!!! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you! So much stuff ! That small tree with lifts was so adorable maybe not an out of Parker but still nice stuff! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!

[@maddog6191]

You got your money back and fishing stuff in your profit

[@blueskyart]

Big Bertha May pay for your trouble!

[@verettejones9510]

Hello Renee. It may take some time but I’m sure you’ll get your money back. And if you don’t take a chance you might not find the vintage Christmas or vintage shirts. It’s all a part of the process. I think if you took the Christmas village to Lambertville you could sell it. You should try. Take care. 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🫖☕️🫖☕️🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

aww, no gold today 😥.....maybe you should have worn your Elmer Fudd hat for luck? 😏, well Miss Moose, just look on the bright side, at least you don't have to buy baking soda for awhile. ☺...speaking of baking soda..........What did the box of baking soda say when it gets sad? I'm sodapressed.🤣

[@PaperandMoose]

Do you think of these jokes just off the top of your head or have a really good memory? Haha. That was a good one! I will not be using any of the baking soda found in that cube. Guess they ran out of boxes so stored things in there! At least it wasn't some opened can of vegetables or soup that had been sitting in there for months. Every storage unit has to include some article of food, right?

[@Buzz1151]

You know Ping is money Big Bertha is money fishing poles are money research and give us an update 😅congratulations on that pallet $$$ Great content

Big Bertha driver is from the early 90s, worth about $5-10 on the current market. Everybody uses modern clubs nowadays, they're really much better.

Barcode scans only work if the eBay sellers have actually bothered, or took the time to enter the barcode number when they created their listings.

[@asterix7842]

I don't know a whole lot about golf clubs, other than what I've learned watching Hairy Tornado, but I think all those clubs are worth a good bit of money. That tripot thing you opened up first looks like the type used for surveying equipment.

Ppl collect those village pieces my sister used to have 5 villages across her house.

[@cherylhuot4436]

You always take the golf clubs to Play it again sports. They buy used stuff.

[@TheAccidentalViking]

I was crossing my fingers for you here. I found something today for about 6 dollars and sold for 25 dollars, so that was good. I listed some other good finds, but they haven't sold yet and I don't know why, because they are AMAZING. Earlier this week, a $3.50 item sold for $50, so that was a good find. Thanks for the inspiration. When 7 days go past without a sale, I get disheartened, so I watch your videos to get inspired, so thank you!

[@ritahasz7352]

[@sirslice7531]

That one was awful. I was in such shock that I wasn't thinking and I should have went right to the office & told them it was illegal to sell those documents. What's crazy is that in the last few months, I've seen other storage facility have similar type units in their online auctions. Boxes are clearly marked with last name ranges and phrases like "Loans" and "Billing".

Good searching!! I was hoping it would have been a giant ceramic Christmas tree, or a couple of vintage tin plate Lionel Hellgate Bridges! Well, at least the contents matched what you are doing...fishing for values! ME NEITHER! The new stuff is j**k! As the late Frank Sinatra sang..."That's Life"! The mini houses are cute, I have 6 of them that I use on my Christmas train layout...I set up a "Kiddie's Park"...as next to the Lionel Trains, the buildings look like a child's amusement play ground. I even have a N gauge train which circles the small village.
