I Bought An Abandoned Storage Unit For $100 - What's Inside?

[@MrVince8]

Alot more than $100 worth the alcohol there.

[@cameronaberdeenuk1260]

Rene presents so well, and as she said, much of the stuff end up in land fill. I can't help but wonder what happened to the fella who so carefully packed his stuff to return for it one day. I hope he is safe and well or if he is not I hope he at least, is at peace.

Oh Boy Renee! ....packing my bandanna and putting it on a stick, and hopping a freight to New Jersey to help you consume all that liquor...hehehe.🍷🍸🍸🥂🥂🥃🥃

Be sure to dress warm with all this snow we have out here!

[@Buzz1151]

better hide the Mamajuana from Dickel! 🤣@@PaperandMoose

[@PaperandMoose]

@@Buzz1151 I didn't know if that was "appropriate" for KZbin, so hid that bottle away. At first I thought maybe it was the kind of liquor that had the soaked berries in it, but nope... something else was soaking in there!

[@shelleywhetstone3526]

After having gone through many military moves, looks like it was packed by movers. The movers can lose boxes at storage places, we still have 6 boxes floating around.

[@anitahaviland3036]

It looked as if the booze bottles were close to full, all of them. There is a lot of deliberation in all of the careful packing, and they took very good care of their things. This is a winner!

You made out like a bandit on this unit! Everything is nice. The liquor alone is worth a lot. Got to thank this veteran for his service! Thanks for sharing, Renee!

I think you can go to a money exchange place and cash in the paper money, but they won't take coins. I did it all the time with currencies my husband would bring back from his travels.

[@marygrummer9189]

Love these mystery tote videos. I don’t drink much, but like you, my wine has to be “Koolade with a kick.” 😊

[@PaperandMoose]

That’s a great phrase! I’ll have to use that one myself 🙂

[@dmreddragon6]

I'm a mixed drink person myself, but I do love Sangria wine (can't get fruitier than that), and dark beer.

[@SassySue67]

Love the way they labeled the “Happy Glass”tote. 😂

[@PaperandMoose]

I know, that was creative! Surprising too that not a bottle had been broken all of these years!

[@OriginalNethead]

That happy glass sure is happy. The red wine is beef stew-bait, as in stew base. I'd bake with the liquor, especially the rum and the brandy. Vodka is pie crust on the hoof. Or pasta sauce. 08:39 Instead of finding a Crown Royal bag, Rene found actual Crown Royal! The pots and pans? Instant kitchen upgrade.

[@dmreddragon6]

Vodka is also great for removing odors, and so much more.

[@fareast_de]

Finally you did it again, and it will pay off, that´s for sure ! 👍 I think that this guy could have been a Desert Storm veteran (Kuwait currency), so it might be interesting to do a little bit of research (you know his name and that he was a navy guy). The main value should be in the liquor assortment, probably worth a few hundred bucks. Seems that this guy knew how to enjoy life. So, just tell me when you are at home because I would like to show up for testing purposes...😁🥂Have a fantastic weekend, and keep the party going ! 🌨❄☃Greets from GER, U.

[@fareast_de]

@@ppurgett Absolutely !

[@PaperandMoose]

His name is so common, almost as bad as having the name John Smith! Doesn't help that a famous wrestler/movie star is also named the same haha. The patron is staying in my collection, have it on hand for some margaritas! Being the wine connoisseur that I am (sarcasm there!), I looked and the wine probably is a no-go due to the age & brand. For those brands, they recommend only a 2-3 year shelf life and they were well past that. If it was fancy wine, then that wouldn't have been an issue. This is definitely a first though finding a whole tote of liquor!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose Okay, next try to make you rich. Let´s take a look at the silverware marked "GS", probably Georg Schreiter. If there´s a number like 90 or 100 behind the initials, it´s just silver plated. But Schreiter also produced massive silver stuff. So, definitely worth a closer look. The company was located at Luebeck/ Germany and produced some pretty neat Art Déco silverware.

[@just.j5302]

​@@PaperandMooseglad you're keeping the Patron...that paid for the unit 👍.

[@leslieheinz9400]

That's a high end pots and pans set you got there. Over 200.00.

[@1HonestAbe]

Just bought a $70 Storage Unit yesterday. Saw about 12 empty wine crates and a few had the label "Opus 1" which is a VERY expensive wine. Looked to be some banquet decorations as well for wine tastings etc. Which was the case. Should get my $70 just by selling the wooden crates that people like to use for decor, maybe $10 each? But I found Ca$h too. A homemade Margi Gras style necklace($10) with $1 bills folded Origami style, rather odd, but cute. a $50 American Express Gift card...with $50 still on it. A single $100 bill. And " TWO " Jamaican $50 Dollar bills! Pretty good cash haul. The one disappointment was when I checked the exchange value of what $100 Jamaican dollars is worth. $50 bill is worth about .32 cents. They are worth slightly more than 2 quarters. BUT, "you just never know what you are going to find "

[@PaperandMoose]

Oh wow! The gift cards & money are always great to find. The wooden crates should sell well, as I know many purchase them for decor and usually end up paying a high amount for them at craft stores.

[@1HonestAbe]

@@PaperandMoose Renee, Went thru the final stuff. Appears with decorations and balloon stuff they did a wedding for somebody. Found a few cards. Must have ben like a " Thank You" to person who set up event. Had a $50 target card to add to the Booty. Still shocked that a Jamaican $50 bill is worth only .32 cents.

[@oyet72863]

Belingique are sold at Macy’ s, bit pricey .They are great Stainless steel cookery and 18/10 SS which is what you want in cooking pots.

[@PaperandMoose]

Thanks for the info! I think they are probably the best cookware that I've come across in a storage unit!

[@annboo8146]

I think you did well with this storage, Renee. The name "Belgique" on de lid is the French name for Belgium.

[@thegingerwitch322]

When my son went to university, he lived in a house with 4 others and between them they had 4 George Forman Grills!

They must have been cooking up a lot of burgers!

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

There are storage unit guys who know how to sell off the liquor, even the half-full bottles. You just need the right contacts.

[@PaperandMoose]

That’s for sure. Some can sell & other, probably like me, would get in trouble haha 😆

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Holy Moly Renee. That was the best storage unit you got ever. The liquor is the best. The Rock played Football not Baseball. The Rock is a Wrestler and an Actor.

[@1HonestAbe]

I think you have over $100 in just the ' Happy Glass " tote. You can't sell them to outsiders but I am sure you have some ' friends ' who would purchase them. I found that same Bottle of Patron once... retails around $30. The Chivas Regal is probably over $50 retail... a friend take it off your hands and would gladly buy it off you for about half price. That or break them out for Christmas next year with family. Stored since 2015... they are aged :-)

[@ginbro008]

wonder if this stuff was packed up by military when he transferred. It is just so uniformly packed.

[@abee1248]

[@davidrayward7533]

Great booze stash Renee; wine, cognac, Brandy, bourbon, baubles - a party in a tote! It'll make an impressive drinks cabinet if nothing else. Nice kitchenware too!….😊….hic….

[@Buzz1151]

wow, "The Rock" sure liked his booze🤣...that "yellow tail" wine is good stuff.....You have to keep that! ...When's the party Miss Moose????😁

[@PaperandMoose]

Not sure if the 2017 Yellowtail would still taste good, but the patron will go nicely in some margaritas 🍹 🙂

[@TheAccidentalViking]

@@PaperandMoose I think the 2017 won't be horrible. It's not a high end wine you'd cellar, but 2017 isn't that old a bottling that it would have gone bad, unless something has gone wrong with the cork or cap or storage. Wine doesn't like large fluctuations in temperature so maybe being in a storage unit in New Jersey wasn't the best place for it to be. If you want a nice antipodean wine to try, I can recommend Trinity Hills Syrah, from Hawkes Bay New Zealand.

[@JulieGraham-u7b]

Wine improves with age and low end wine will not spoil after a few years. Drink it!

[@TheAccidentalViking]

@@JulieGraham-u7b She's not a big wine fan. My son was curious about wines when he got older and so I said I would teach him a bit and we could try some wines together on special occasions like Easter and Xmas. We've had some hits and misses. I've been out of the business for 20 years, so things change, but it's been fun finding delicious wines that don't cost a lot. I live in Norway, so alcohol is expensive. Enjoyed sparingly when you're on a budget.

[@just.j5302]

Yellow tail might not be 'high end' but they make a good product. I believe one of the first vintners to offer wine not fermented in wood barrels, which produces a more fruit forward product (which I think is great - I personally have never wanted wine that smelled, or tasted, like mushroom, peat moss, tobacco, or any other weird organix matter). They do make 'reserve' wines that are more 'high end' to satisfy the wine snobs of the world 🙄🙄🙄. Their Shiraz, Pinot noir, and Merlot are great wines for beginners to try. 👍

[@lauravance2467]

I’m with you, Renee, fruity Moscato’s are my favorite drinks 😊

[@PaperandMoose]

Excellent storage unit. If you'd found it before Christmas, you might not only have been loaded with Christmas presents, but just plain loaded. I hope there's a way to access that hard drive. If it's photos or a journal it could be really interesting! Looking forward to part 2. Have a great, warm weekend!

[@PaperandMoose]

Hard drives are tricky because I'm worried about possible viruses or malware. My laptop runs slow enough as it is haha :0) I can always bring out one of my old laptops and plug it in to see what is on there! No mail, paperwork, old bills... nothing of the sort in this unit. Lots of "happy glass" though! A few surprises in Part 2, which will be out on Sunday! A bit chilly here, had an auction rescheduled due to snow which ended up not being a bad thing because with wind chill it feels about 8 degrees out there. Hope that you have a great weekend as well!

[@carolineloeser3071]

Looks like the military packed that stuff up. When you're in the military, they pack and move you. Could be some sailor that never made it home?

[@PaperandMoose]

I’m not sure. With the later dated newspaper, it appears that these items have been in storage for a decent number of years. With Iraqi Freedom operations ending in 2011, I don’t know if the military would have been responsible for packing. But perhaps they were & then the person/family just decided they didn’t want to keep paying on the items & had no desire to travel from where they lived to pick up the belongings (or costs too high to ship).

[@littleblackpistol]

The Kuwaiti Dinar is 1 to 3.25 US dollars right now. Worth cashing in at an exchange.

[@brianh.9268]

Hi Renee-Great finds. If coming from overseas, this service member’s “stuff” was likely packed out of a location not in the Middle East theater as there are very strict limits on alcohol. I had friends stationed in Saudi Arabia; the Saudi’s kind of look the other way on alcohol, they’d turn in their empty bottle, which was crushed, before buying a new one at the sole supply point at “tea ration” time. Military uniforms okay to sell, but need to remove rank, name patches, service branch patches, etc. Friend of mine was appointed as a “summary officer” to clear out a deceased service members “stuff.” One of the things he was instructed to do was to purge out any porn or other material, so mom or the surviving family wasn’t shocked or aggrieved when the boxes arrived home. Super Arctic cold in western Iowa/eastern Nebraska but 40’s coming next week. Take care. Best, Brian
