I Bought A $50 Abandoned Storage Unit... Look What's Inside!

[@jennifersanders7199]

You’re always so excited about exploring. It makes your videos a pleasure to watch.

Your storage unit videos are my favorite. Your glee and patter are simply the best. When will you and Taco Stacks announce you are now dating? Great content Renee. You never disappoint.

[@ppurgett]

Did you ever think they may be related

[@unklejohn8575]

@@ppurgettare they? I had suspected them to be cousins by the way they talk, but I think it’s a regional dialect.

[@philiplafleur4504]

@@ppurgett Nope. Never occurred to me. I'll tell you what made me wonder if they were dating. Two things. They went to Yellowstone together, twice. And he teased her in a storage locker they bought together in a way people who are dating sometimes tease. Her reaction seemed more girlfriend than cousin. But I'm just speculating. No offense intended. It just adds an element of romance and intrigue to the channels. I watch his too. Also, their being related would not preclude dating where I'm from in the deep South. Lots of people date and even marry their cousins where I'm from. ;)

[@lisauptagrafft2010]

I love your upbeat personality! You’re definitely an optimist! You’re the positive, to Tacos negative, y’all compliment each other! Hope you find treasures! ✌🏼❤️

[@PaperandMoose]

I understand that storage units can bring both the positive/negative, with some viewers absolutely despising this type of video while others enjoy it. I try to look at the positive aspect of storage unit cleanouts, allowing for others to reuse the items & enjoy them, versus everything ending up in the trash (which many facilities do - they want the units cleaned and onto the next renter, so they aren't much for sorting everything). A video like this also allows for others that are interested in storage auctions to see what one could expect to find - or not find - in a unit. Thanks so much for watching!

I had an old iPod that, after years and years, finally quit. Since they aren't made anymore I bought an older iPhone that still holds its charge and I now use that as an iPod replacement. Never wasted time and money on a SIM card. It doesn't hook up to the internet (although it easily could) or receive phone calls/texts. It just plays music and does it well.

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

Oh, my!!! It’s so packed with a story of someone’s life circumstances. I always wonder what leads the person or people to abandon a storage unit. Is it illness, lack of finances, being stoned and in LaLa Land? Who knows? Sure hoping you’ll find some treasure after you’ve excavated your way into depths of the unknown. Thanks for taking us along. 👍😍

[@bobhamulak3646]

I wonder about who owned all the contents of these storage units too, and what happened to them that caused them to abandon all their belongings. In this case, having so many cellphones and pill bottles, I'd almost guess it was someone who was dealing drugs. And they must have had children. If they were arrested suddenly and in jail, someone else would have had to pack up all their stuff and put it in storage. I don't feel much sympathy for them, but I do sympathize for any children involved. It would be sad to see them separated from their parents if they were sentenced to prison. That would be a shame.

As a viewer, storage unit videos are always a lot of fun. But I hope you also get a profit out of them! Are old phones and cameras worth something? Can the countless phones and bags (!) really have belonged to a single person? Or have the leftovers from several units been thrown together? These questions will probably have to remain unanswered. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for great finds in the second half of the storage unit 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻. Cheers, Gabriele - Berlin

[@raneemilliman7130]

Maybe the New Jersey lucky penny will bring some good luck your way. I am curious as to what else you will find. I wonder if there is a way to determine the story behind the multiple cell phones, purses/bags/backpacks and clothes? BTW the espresso machine could have some value - there is quite a range when you look up the retail prices so worth checking on. Likely needs a good cleaning unless hardly used. Fingers crossed for what's to come.

Hello Renee. I’m watching this late but I went to my brother in law’s for a bonfire and was there later than planned. Now I smell like a fire, but I had fun . He lives in Indiana by the Wabash river so it was nice to be near the river. I’m amazed by the number of cell phones but then again I’m not. People love to up grade. They probably couldn’t afford a plan so they got prepaid ones. I don’t partake in Mary Jane but I don’t judge people because I think that’s their business . But it doesn’t mean they’re bad people. Anyway it’s an interesting unit and I think you’ll come out with profit for sure. . I can’t wait to see part 2 . Who knows maybe you’ll find gold in there . Take care. I hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🥰🫎🫎🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🥰🫎🫎💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Doesn’t make one bad, it was medically prescribed, I just got a little nervous about some of the other items (especially when sorting later & saw that some of the bottles had different names on them). The bonfire sounds like it was a great time! Any S’mores making? Love a good S’mores when sitting around a bonfire on a chilly night!

[@verettejones9510]

@@PaperandMoose Yes the kids had s’mores but I couldn’t have any because of my diabetes but that’s ok .

[@stephenritz5581]

I'm a bit at a loss on this one, at least in terms of putting a story behind it. I think you've made your money back - even with just the legal stuff :). But bags stuffed in bags? 20+ cell phones, cameras & tablets. I guess the person could have been a tech junkie. Maybe a single Mom with a child to account for the toys. Or a young adult who kept all of his / her toys and collected purses? Good buy, I think, but I'll be interested in video #2 to see if there's any more clarity on how it came to be. Of course it may be obvious to others - I don't get out much. In the meantime, hope you have a great weekend!

[@PaperandMoose]

In part 2, I do shed a little light on the story behind the unit! And you won’t believe what I found more of! Haha 😂 I ask myself if I should have splurged & bid on the unit that sold for almost $3,000, but that is a big gamble hoping that you find items that you can recoop your 3k plus make a profit. At least the bags weren’t filled with actual trash, clothes aren’t so bad to deal with! Hope that you have a nice weekend!

[@stephenritz5581]

@@PaperandMoose Yeah, I don’t know, $3K seems like an awful gamble unless you see something in the photos that’s a sure thing. You’ve really done great with the less expensive units - but I guess at some point it’s natural to want to expand into higher end stuff. Looking forward to the insights on the story. It’s remarkable how diversified and knowledgeable you’ve become over the last few years. Quitting your corporate job was the best risk you ever took!

[@robertadunn1572]

When I see alot of cell phones it reminds me of a story I heard that scammed buy multiple phones so they can't or have a hard time getting caught.
