You have such a good attitude and always feel so positive about your find. It is a pleasure watching you on the hunt.

[@joniferris8869]

Taco, you need to take a photo of the birdseye chest, polish it up and show it to an antique shop or consignment shop - that piece of furniture is worth over $500, you are under valuing the pieces you find. BTW the Betsey Johnson handbag should be given to a consignment shop also, her handbags go for about 60 dollars at TJ Maxx, but some collectible ones could go even higher.

[@amyfisher6380]

Congratulations on reaching AND surpassing 200k subscribers! 👍 Whenever you get a female oriented storage locker, you need paper and moose or another female friend with you to help determine the value of the items. For example, you could be handling purses or clothing that’s worth real $$$ and not realize it. That’ll help you learn the value of female stuff for later. Those little purses with the sewing stuff and other small items are called coin purses or change purses. We ladies carry a bunch of them in our handbags for change and other small items that would otherwise roll around loose.

[@pennyvan1875]

The red frame looking thing with all the wierd objects in it like the creepy tiny baby doll is actually a Mixed Media Shadow Box piece. You have a lot of mixed media supplies in that locker. The large tubes of acrylics are not cheap because the brand isn't a bad one and the size of the tubes bring in a higher price.

I thought the box was a Buddhist thing.???

Great video! Excellent advice on buying storage lockers: most boxes and not labeled what is really in the box, have a way to haul, and have somewhere to store it. The best part of this video when you where unpacking the kitchen misc. box and it was mostly Christmas items, but the look on your face when you pulled out the red shadowbox with all the stuff glue on the inside including the little plastic box. Your look was to die for!!!!

@@j.j.freeman9292 I've seen one living birds eye maple tree, it looks like a giant maple bush. I lt was early spring, my uncle had, had his back property logged. I had drove passed this little muddy jagged logging road half the winter on a 4wheeler. Its kind of a creepy looking tree. Its so knobby a knarled, i seen why its prized in furniture, its got to be hard to plane out the lumber planks. Then to just cutting it down the chainsaw must run into some hard knots the kickback on the saw would be a bit of a challenge for the loggers.

[@sunflowerbutterfly7023]

You'll definitely get your money back and then some, things to donate such as the bible, books etc. This was a well organized, clean unit (mattress is what it is) and for me personally the downside is thinking of the person whose life was brought here, we can only hope the best for them with positive vibes.
