HE HOARDED TONS OF STUFF! After he died, his storage locker sold at auction. What's inside?

Locker Nuts episode 389
I bought this locker for $910 plus fees through an online storage auction website. It looked really junky, but for some reason I just had to have it. After purchasing it, I found out that the owner had passed away some years before. Now I'm really intrigued to find out what he left behind, but I've got my work cut out for me, and this one gets dirty.
So begins part 1 of the "Orange Bag Hoarder" locker.
Here is some of the gear that I use on a regular basis (paid affiliate links):

Broke my heart to see you throw those negatives out. you should return those to the family, too. I found old negatives in my dad's basement and it was like Christmas for me. the photos were lost, but I could reprint them. Very precious!

Outside of personal family meaning there are lots of people who collect old photos, slides and negatives.

It's advisable that you wear a mask since you found evidence of rat droppings. You're exposed to disease so you dont breath in the toxicity....better safe than sorry bc s hospital stay could eat up any profit after your investment. Also, you mentioned your children....might be wise to wear some coveralls so their not exposed to the toxicity when you pick them up from school...

I like how you came prepared. Those few things make a big difference! I think you should always come with 4 bins and a table: 1. Trash 2. Donate 3. Auction / eBay 4. Personals to Return Ok, maybe 5... 5. Flea Market (Are you guys still doing these or have you found that they’re not worth your time now!) And maybe a plastic bowl for change

[@LockerNuts]

We still do flea markets, but with Covid and rain and busy family schedules, we haven't done them in awhile. I have 2 storages of my own which are starting to fill up (and you'll see that at the end of this series) with flea market stuff. I'm going to need to go soon! Or a garage sale.

Hi Jack 👋🏻! The hammer is for upholstery. It has magnets on the ends and holds the upholstery tacks so you can pound it into the fabric/ wood. The tacks are so small and this keeps you from hitting your fingers.

Some of the different glass pieces you passed on could be worth a little money, the blue vase in the suitcase looks like a depression glass piece. I have one just like it. If they are numbered on the bottom, it's worth even more. The green bowl with figures on the side that didn't have a marking, was still worth researching. You should learn a little more about glassware so you do not pass on a valuable piece.

8:42 hammer is used for upholstery. One side was magnetized . My dad did upholstery several years. He’d fill his mouth with tacks, catch one at a time with the magnet strike once then flip the hammer to drive the tack in . He needed one hand to stretch the fabric, therefore the mouthful of tacks! 😩 I was always afraid he’d swallow one, but he never did.

The hammer is for use in upholstery. One end is magnetic to hold the tack, and set it into place, then you use the larger end to drive it in. I used one for years when my parents had an upholstery business.

[@susanlevy652]

My dad was an upholsterer way back and I was going to say this too. The only thing I'd like to add is that the tacks came in a little bag, sanitized, I hope. Because he threw a bunch into his mouth and manouvered each one out to dispense as the magnet end of the hammer repeatedly was brought to his mouth. He placed the tack with a little tap, flipped the hammer and tapped it into place. All the while he was getting another tack ready to be dispensed.

6:44 These bills are a chinese tradition. You burn them on big holidays in hope for dead family members to receive them and have enough money in the afterlife (and no, "Hell bank" doesn't mean they assume everyone goes to hell, it's a translation error and would be more like "afterlife bank" or "paradise bank"). It's worthless, but you could burn it for fun. Hope that helped.

A suggestion, for lockers that was used by hoarders or elder people that will also keep and sometimes hide that much valuables. If you have an extra metal detector, run them over the stuffed animals. Especially the older ones stuffed animals or dolls. Wouldnt be the first heirloom hidden in one. If they have cuts or have been sown back up. Dollars fit in books diamond earrings don't as you know.

I think they might have been bought with those stamps they use to give you back in the day at gas stations or supermarkets but not 100% positive. Another funny thing was the Bob Stupek matches and Vegas World pin. Bob Stupek owned Vegas World Casino at the end of the strip. That is where I stayed when I went to Vegas to get married in 91.
