I Bought A $10 Abandoned Storage Unit!

Spending $10 on an abandoned storage unit isn't breaking the bank. But is it trash or treasure?
#abandonedstorageunit #lockerfinds

[@fareast_de]

A promising locker for a whopping ten bucks, so: no complaints at all ! 👍 I think that the cash cows this time could be a part of the jewelry (though the necklace was not gold) and the Dr. Seuss book series from the 1960s. Hope you got a real gentleman who was helping you a little bit with the bulky stuff. 😉 And I saw something else: 40 k, 50 k and even 860 k (!) which means the number of clicks on your storage war videos. Well done, Renée, keep it up, and see you on the next one ! 🤞Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

Viewers enjoy the storage unit videos & I like seeing what people have stored away, so it's a win-win! Yard sale/garage sale videos are also popular, but I don't have much luck at those, so I'll stick with storage units. If that necklace would have been gold, I would have done really well for sure! Reminds me of that other unit I bought for a low price and there was a gold ring which I got $60 for - made my money & some with just that little piece of jewelry! It's been a busy week here, more storage units coming up! None with my favorite things, but still pretty interesting to look through. I know that my "dream" storage unit will come up some time!

[@melinaadamski8408]

You just forgot to mention the rocking horse. In my humble opinion it is a fifty dollar item. 😁

[@amyweaver7413]

I always enjoy your sunny attitude.😊

[@alanbirkner1958]

Swiss Army knife, yarn, hobby horse, odd jewelry, backpack, odds and ends all could be over $10. Fun to watch. Tina, Al's wife

[@ronald3305]

Hope Al is feeling better

[@rudolphbondefangerer5513]

But then its the work, cleaning out, I believe people over there need to pay to deliver trash to the landfill (I dont hahahaha...its free!!), gas money, loss because you didn't do something else, I would guess this unit would have to generate $4-500 to be worth it. but then its the content for the channel part that might make a crappy unit worth it.

[@maddog6191]

The jumping horse I'd probably get 50 bucks on Facebook marketplace This isn't that bad of a unit

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Renee. You need to check the nine to five Ring 💍. You might have gotten your money for it. Also check on the watch as well. But if you have the book of Green Eggs and ham or the Cat and the Hat. You can make some good money with too. This was a good $10 Unit. God Bless you Renee. HUGS 🤗. Maria. 🤗❤️🤗❤️🤗❤️💍💍💍💍💍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🌺🌻

[@PaperandMoose]

It wasn't a unit filled from floor to ceiling with great stuff, but a few nice surprises in there! I think the books were my favorite - in nice shape & should be easy to sell at the flea market!

[@philiplafleur4504]

I love the storage unit videos. Your glee really shines through. When you found the bag of tiny bags I thought, "Drug dealer?" Then you found the scale. Bingo. Great job Renee.

[@PaperandMoose]

The thing that I thought was a calculator was actually another scale! I'm thinking that the table might have been their "work" table. The top ended up being in pretty rough shape with stains, tears, burn marks, so it went to the scrap yard.

[@philiplafleur4504]

Renee I think you will make your money back on the books alone. I really enjoy the storage unit videos. Thank you for sharing them with us. On a side note your hair looks so healthy and shiny. Hoping you make a lot on the unit. Much love

[@Yournamehere7959]

Fun video Renee! I love the storage locker buys! It's always an entertaining adventure to watch you dig through even if you don't find vintage Jordans or a diamond ring. Treat yourself to buying a jeweler's loupe and impress us all when you use it looking for that valuable stamp on the jewelry!

The baggies ‘could’ be for storing craft supplies. I highly doubt it 😂

Thanks for your time and video. Except for having to get of the furniture. I think you ll get ten back w a few things at the flea!horse included! Good luck.

[@Gabriele-sv9qg]

Dear Renée, like so many of your viewers I love your storage videos. In Germany such auctions are ultra rare. I hope you not only get the 10 dollars back, but also the money for the dumpster, for the gasoline, for the working hours! The storage didn't contain the big ephemera surprise, but at least it didn't contain any old food or dead critters either. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next time: Old documents! Historical photographs! Vintage Chrismas! Best regards from Berlin Gabriele

[@fareast_de]

Derartige "Storage Units" gibt es bei uns auch, aber weitaus seltener und meist nur in den Großstädten. Aber Du hast recht, verauktioniert wird der Inhalt bei Nichtzahlung der Miete nicht, vermutlich aus rechtlichen Hinderungsgründen.

[@PaperandMoose]

Hello to another viewer in Germany! No food or dead critters is always a plus for sure! I combined some trash from this unit & another unit, so my dumpster fees were only $30, not bad at all. It's easier to spend $10 on a unit versus spending hundreds on one that has the majority of the contents being trash. I've done well with cheaper units in the past, so gave this one a try!

[@taxi_cab]

Such a weird unit, a recreational drug user with apparently kids, also JD Vance would love some time with that couch. hehe

[@misslannie73]

Seriously, what can you buy these days for $10? You’ve got that back in empty totes surely! xx

[@Wilma.Flintstone]

When she pointed out the pink tote at the beginning, that's exactly what I thought! Just the "cheap" ones at Target and Home Depot go for $10 each, LOL

[@PaperandMoose]

I saw totes today at Home Depot that were almost $40!!

[@joanncrawford8563]

A $10 storage unit with you is ALWAYS a first choice to watch!!

I love the way you anticipate what might be in a unit before you open the door. It's such fun guessing.

[@larryboysen5911]

As long as you do not hear any knocking from within!! Well, I have a hassock with goodies stored in it...and still can put my tired "dogs" on it at the end of a walking day! The little stool would be perfect for a large plush fr-g I was given to recline on! Timex...a most reliable timepiece, have had mine for years...still right on the minute...an old self winder. Amazing what folks store!

[@tlmoscow]

Take care with those Swiss Army knives- particularly the one in the red box. Those two alone should put you in profit!

[@waltonstreet5740]

As always...$10 is inexpensive content. I'm pretty sure the Dr Seuss books are reprints but I could be wrong. Besides the date there is usually a series of numbers that once you know how to read them (you may already be able to) determines the edition. Either way, they look to be in great shape and are always desirable classics

[@cyndicunanan400]

Yes the ISBN number will be the indicator of age. I agree they’re reprints. Books and Barbie’s both have the original date which throws a lot of people off.

[@cjoneandonly123]

Oh my goodness Renee. . I have been looking for a the floor lamp in that unit for awhile. Goosh I hope one comes my way for $10. Goodness me 🤔

[@verettejones9510]

Hello Renee. Well this had potential . Not bad really. You could sell the rocking horse for at least $25 so there’s your money back plus a $15 profit. And if you know any local dealers you could sell them the paraphernalia. 😂 . Hey you got a silver ring . Always a silver lining.😂. It’s fun going through storage units with you.

[@raneemilliman7130]

Maybe one of the Dr Seuss books will be a winner. I think for ten bucks, you still got some sellable flea market items that should give you a profit. I don't blame you for checking it out. I wouldn't say no to a $10 storage unit. My dad passed away in June and I and my SIL are still going through his things. I came across the hand tooled wallet that my grandmother used to use. It was very well used, and the binding was falling apart, so I took out all of the cards such as medical or reward cards etc. but no money. I pulled the binding out and took the wallet apart, just for the pretty tooled front and it's nice to have a piece of soft leather for something or another. As I pulled it apart, 2 - one-dollar bills flew out. I thought I was pretty thorough looking through it but those must have been tucked in somewhere really tight. I also found a fifty-dollar bill in a thank you card given to my dad. You just never know what you are going to find or where you might find it. Maybe the next $10 storage unit will have a hidden fifty-dollar bill somewhere or some jewelry that is damaged but 14 or 24K gold. Stay optimistic.

[@wizloon9052]

Was that giant "cannabis" pouch full of flower? Dr. Seuss books generally do not fetch much money. But, there are six titles which are no longer published (due to stereotypes that portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong) which you can make some money on. Those six titles are: And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, If I Ran the Zoo, McElligot's Pool, On Beyond Zebra!, Scrambled Eggs Super!, and The Cat's Quizze. Some describe these books as "banned", which is not true. They are not banned. The publisher is just no longer printing any new ones. You CAN sell them on eBay.

[@jennielee3977]

I just Googled it to be sure. It looks to me like they ARE banned on eBay.

2-5 bucks a pc for the nug cannisters if the seals tight, air tight. 10-15 bucks fer the scale if the batteries not fried, otherwise it's usually 7 there abouts for the battery. Dr Seuss definitely made your money back at least.🌀

[@johnhaug1747]

We had a neighbor 3 doors down move out this week end and scored a lot of cast off items, including un-opened foodstuffs (still refrigerator cold). We have two dogs so they get any sketchy meats and/or cheese items. All seafood gets cooked and chopped up for the dogs. We eat the frozen Omaha steaks LOL. Lotta canned/dry goods, soaps and cleaning supplies, and $2 in quarters! Items we already have (vacuums, coffee makers, microwaves, air fryers, lamps, camp chairs, crock pots, etc) or can't use go to Goodwill.

[@PaperandMoose]

Sounds like you did rather well! Good thing that you were able to save all of the foodstuffs before they went bad. Free household supplies are always nice to find and you can't beat free money too!

A few books contain content/illustrations that are considered stereotypes/offensive, so they are no longer published. Like other items that are not allowed to be sold on eBay, there still are listing for them as the bots haven't detected them yet to pull the listing.

[@gillesjacques1022]

When they upgraded me to a new cable box, they left it behind, so I asked them about it. They said they didn't want it, so I tossed it during spring cleaning week, which is one day a year. Where you could take stuff to the dump, when they wave dumping fees or the town picks it up for free at your home.

[@PaperandMoose]

It must be different for each company - my mom upgraded her cable box and was told she had to bring in the old one or she would be charged a monthly "fee" for it. On a sidenote, cable is so expensive & most don't watch half of the channels available!

[@PaperandMoose]

The cost is by the ton, which thankfully I did not have haha. I combined this unit and the trash from another unit (it's been a busy week!), so my dumping fee was around $30. I had a few other larger furniture items, so that was the bulk of the cost. Can't put them out for trash in my area, so the dump was the best option.

[@DonVDBorgh]
