You need a system....show us the storage unit, then put all the furniture on ur van b4 video, then get your boxes, crates organized and then video all that. So many boxes and stuff everywhere.

[@kezza138]

That was hard to watch Taco..... i hate seeing things get broken. :(

[@SISSYKAY]

From a (this) woman's point of view, that was a damn good $25 storage locker!! Even the furniture looks good to sell. Love that butcher block...they are expensive so don't sell it for a DOLLAR

[@tester8888]

Oh man, I love your channel. I wish we were buddies so I could come help you out; I love these types of things. These storage lockers, auctions, flea markets, they are museums to the life of the common man. Thanks for taking us along with you on these adventures into life!

[@kathyfranco1271]

I think all the things labeled SL means storage locker.. sounds good anyway 😏

[@browsinghistory7803]

somebody took time to wrap that stuff in quilt batting and crochet doilies.

[@myfathersdaughter324]

Can't you just drop the furniture at the Salvation Army? Someone could probably use it, rather than sending it to landfill. Great score for flea market.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Keep those comforters and sheets in the vanski to protect and wrap better items. I was always taught condition means a lot in reselling. That means more money in you pocket for a few extra moments of effort.

[@tdfitch]

[@jenesisjones6706]

I'ma bit disappointed at how roughly you unpacked everything :( I second the post that suggests you buy a head or chest mount for the cam.

I notice that too. A little respect would be lovely, but that's probably why I'm not a wealthy businesswomam. Just a little thank you for allowing me in here prayer would really cool. 😍😍

[@clayton2183]

[@jodiyoung5578]

Jenesis Jones, I agree. If needing to record, please put the camera where the box can be seen, or get a head or chest mounted camera to keep both hands free. Like a Go Pro 7.

[@barbaraniccum7310]

Oh, Taco, I had to quit watching the video! I couldn't stand how you were just grabbing through the boxes, not caring whether you broke things or not. There were a lot of valuable things in there that probably now are broken. I think it would be nice to show a little respect to the items that a person worked their whole lives to gather. I know you were trying to hurry to show us as much as you could, but I think that I would rather have a longer video or two videos to show what you found. I love you, Taco, and I will certainly continue to be one of your most dedicated fans.

[@larrybarton2351]

Taco, love your channel. Wish you would go thru the locker in a more deliberate manner Pick one box or tote and go thru before grabbing something else. Its hard to follow as you jump from one item to another with only a peek of what's inside. Your brain gets ahead uf what you are showing and saying.

[@dudley7540]

Bull in a storage locker!

I would like to love your videos. Those Pier One Christmas ornaments you found are Li Bien hand painted glass series, 10-20 bucks apiece, collectibles. But...people want the velvet storage box intact! You just tear into the box and ruin value. I have watched you throw cash away in each video you put out, it is absolutely agonizing! Please, slow down, learn what you have, it will pay off!

[@lisablack2022]

Im glad someone said something

[@sharonnowlin2297]

Really it is amazing HOW MUCH he has learned from the 1st of his videos ... He is still very young, but look at the number of subscribers that he has in such a short time. Taco is really coming along!! I have done this stuff for over 50 years and I am still learning. It's amazing how much he knows about the sports jerseys that he sells online! So give Taco a break, he's getting there with this other stuff!

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

I also know those ornaments. Serious damage to the value when destroying the box. :(

[@therealme5932]

TOTALLY agree. Every time I see him throw something around, it aggravates me inside lol. He has NO knowledge about collectibles and he’s so rough with everything. I also want to like his channel but he’s just so careless and ignorant.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

Taco may be a tad careless handling breakables, but ignorant he is NOT!

[@MrCjon71]

I'm not saying those were, but some Christians ornaments are insanely expensive. I recently helped my mother inventory her Christmas collection and was surprised to find out that her collection is worth thousands of dollars. Might be a good idea to check out some of the ones you come across.

[@karolblizzard7995]

I was getting a little irritated when he tore into the box. My sister bought some of those and they are not cheep, He just needs to slow his roll. Look at what he has. LOL

[@MrCjon71]

@murphyc He is in the resale business. No one is saying he should keep it, but I know that vintage Christmas ornaments sell for big money on eBay. It literally takes a second to look to see if the item has any markings then check them online. You might be willing to throw away easy money, but I'm sure Taco Stacks isn't. That is why I offered the advice.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

murphyc However my tiny Yoda still means the world to me. LOL

[@markkohl9750]

I would like to see all people that buy storage lockers to empty out the locker from front to back as you go, that way you do not have to step over or even break things you buy. open your boxes out of the locker. I took notice you handle some items 3 or 4 times, your not the only one that does it. Make it simple, and get a stand for your camera so you can use both your hands. I do like your vlogs other then what I said. Keep them coming.

[@paulsharon7521]

Do any of you others that are watching cringe at how he goes through things? Be careful Taco one day you might cut yourself on broken glass. Pretty good haul though good luck on resale

[@brendastraley8829]

I agree!

[@stephaniefarrar3133]

Yes he needs to slow down. Id rather him set camera down or wear his chest mount and take his time going thru this stuff.

Loved your storage locker video. That yellow bundt pan been looking for that. Seem this on another video. Really want to find that bundt pan. There was alot of nice things. You really made your money back. Christmas items should sell. Right time of year. Keep scraping.

[@Jules1280]

Please put your new camera to use on your next storage locker. And put it on a head strap or tri-pod. The constant moving of your camera makes me nauseas. :(

[@chrissuave92]

I was going to say how I would have loved to see these things individually displayed after being unwrapped carefully but I guess pulling the protective wrap out first and letting these wonderful collectables smash into each other while going from box to box quickly works as well. Taco, we watch you because we wish we could do this. Fantasy job for most. We want to experience it all. Great video. I am late to the party, just found your channel and subscribed. Cheers from Ontario Canada.

I totally agree. Taco is donating stuff he could be selling on CL or FaceBook Market or Swap Meats.

Susi, they sell better if they are refurbished or cleaned up. They sell better in a consignment shopt than a flea market as well.

[@aliciamaxwell8019]

[@darstill2195]

doolin12000 you don't put enough value on your items to pay the storage locker rent you lose it. SIMPLE. Same as car repo, or house foreclosure. You don't pay, goes to highest bidder.

[@CharlesMichaelSidwell]

Indeed, it is sad. I'm sure most people would feel very sad having their life's belongings torn through and ransacked as if it doesn't mean anything. It just seems a bit disrespectful. What if someone died, and their family never even got to inherit their loved one's things? Sentimental things surpass any amount of money; at least to those who realize it.

[@poodlegirl55]

Also kind of sad that people stiff the locker owner on the rent. I know someone who almost lost his business because of people not paying.

[@holleyjomartinez4009]

The ornament is something you could sell on eBaY. I’ve sold many of them, especially around Christmas time. Sometimes there are tags inside that give the brand name and the name of the scene. Having the box, undamaged, along with the little fastener make it more valuable. Love the videos! ❤️

[@PaladinHeart]

Wow. I have seen some pretty rough storage locker videos before, but this one takes the cake. You've dethroned Captain Fumblenuts. I dub thee Commander Fumblenuts!

[@sherrielorraine7931]

I used to work in a year round Christmas store - couldn't tell for sure because you didn't take them out of the box, but the first two ornaments could have been worth some money. There are solid glass ornaments that are painted on the inside with curved brushes that come in velvet boxes like that. Depending on the brand/design they can go for anywhere from $10 to $40 each.

[@beverlycunningham4364]

Take the tire to a used tire dealer. They can resell it. You can have them take the tire off the rim if they don’t want it and you can scrap it. They will probably do an even swap and not charge to take the tire off. I have done it before.

[@hannakinn]

Judy Ferrill - aluminum not tin and those things were great. Yep 1950's my mom had one. Best iced tea ever came out of a pitcher like that. Mom's had an ice dam at the pitcher lip. I think a lot of people stopped using those and switched to plastic pitchers after news reports "possibly" linking the use of aluminum pots and pans to Alzheimer's disease. My mom stopped using the aluminum tea pitcher then in favor of a toxic chemical laden Tupperware pitcher. Lol
