I Spent $10,000 on an LUXURY ABANDONED STORAGE UNIT

THIS is what happens to people's storage units when they stop paying the rent! It goes to an auction where WE can buy it! Come with me to open this unit to see what treasures we can find.

The reason I don’t like these auctions is because when I was in high school, my family got evicted from our apartment and we had to put everything we owned in a storage unit because we were moving in with my cousin and she didn’t have room at her house. My mom got behind on the payments and then the storage company eventually auctioned off all of our things bc she couldn’t afford to pay it on time. That was about 8 years ago and I’m still saddened about all of my belongings, keepsakes and childhood memories I lost there. It was probably junk to the buyer but everything to me.

This isn't a "scam".

[@sheIIsea]

hard to believe anyone would go out of their way to save that many empty cases and then have them placed like that. The storage facility was def scamming.

[@Dolamieu]

The “old” barbies are pushing me over the edge for it being a scam, a lot of idiots look at that stuff and think a 90s collectors barbie is like a lot & try to price them for like 750 dollars but theyre mass produced & bc theyre fancy display dolls so everyone kept them in the box and in good conditions… the ones that actually sell are 20-30 bucks MAX even if theses a ton of LISTINGS for $50000

[@redwolfexr]

I have my empty cases in a storage unit, its pretty common. I also have all the boxes for my high end electronics there too. But yeah, you can assume that any guns that were really there were gone by the time the pictures were taken. That is the problem with these remote auctions, PLENTY of time for the owners, employees, and others to cherry pick things that are in containers.

[@JackalopeBunny]

Yea its called seeding, basically trying to make the locker look better by placing expensive items and selling it, but it's just the boxes in the end. I don't know if you watched storage wars, but they got into trouble for doing such a thing.

[@Queenbae34]

My thoughts exactly

[@Mary-pv4iz]

​@redwolfexr same. We have a storage locker and it's mostly empty boxes for our electronics and other stuff. 🤷‍♀️

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

Wow, I learned something new. I never knew the person could purposely put empty boxes and fake expensive bags into a storage unit and can scam people with it. The storage place only gets to keep the unpaid fees and the rest from the auction goes back to the prior storage unit owner. I always thought whatever value that was auctioned, the storage place gets to keep 100%. I guess there are scams everywhere. But this one is more like a legal scam since no one is forcing you to put in a bid for the storage unit.

As a buyer of lockers since the 1990's where a 40' unit would sell for only a one dollar, yes it was a set up. But to include your time and travel makes it a real deal for the seller.

[@nicky740]

Yea for anyone else this is great advice. For Hope, she makes enough on this video no matter how successful the unit is or not that it’s worth it for her.

[@lindathomas5500]

That’s a common trick where they go through and take the new value items esp guns and leave the empty boxes. One person found the contact details of the previous owners and they confirmed that the storage unit had been sold 18 months previously, and had contained items. Proving that the storage owner had been sold it twice!

[@bboops23]

When my aunt passed away her storage unit company literally suggested to my brother clearing out anything he wanted and then selling the unit rather than cleaning it out completely. My aunt was a hoarder, but the cleanest most meticulously organized hoarder in human history. Her hoard was labeled and a lot of it was good quality cleaning products or around the house stuff and most of her hoard was donated to a woman's shelter and a homeless shelter respectively. A food pantry took her non perishable food hoard. The storage unit sale resulted in my brother making $25 which he gave me to cover the stuff I had picked up from the store 2 days before she passed and she had wanted me paid for. She knew she was dying and made sure everything that we could want was at the front of the unit and everything we could dump was at the back. She didn't tell us she was dying until she needed hospice care. It's been months and I still miss her. If you want to remember my favorite family member take a picture of the people you love. My Aunt Lynie certainly did and the last day I saw her she asked me to rearrange the photos she brought so she could see them better. She had committed every photo she cared about to memory and still brought them with her to hospice because she loved to take photos of the people she cared about.

In order to sell “boring” storage units, sometimes the sellers will actually place items to make it look like you’ll end up with something good. That’s absolutely what they did with the Apple boxes.

Living vicariously through you because I could never handle buying one of these unit and potentially turn up empty. I wonder if the sellers of these units place boxes/fakes of items to get people to purchase.

[@flohough1870]

Very interesting that people will set these up and then let them go to auction so that they can make money, crazy!

[@amyburt9193]

I'm confused about that though- why would the storage company give the rest of the money to the person who abandoned it when they couldn't get them to pay on the first place?

[@cblw14]

I don't get that either.

[@khills]

@@amyburt9193 Some folks have suggested in other videos (and other places online) that the storage places set up these "abandoned" lockers to make money on the side. 🤷🏼‍♀

that's kind of fun, but a bummer on those empty boxes!

Well, lesson learned. I watch several of these storage videos and you can tell they were set up to look better than they were worth. Sorry Hope. You are an awesome lady and I do love watching your videos. Happy New Year. 🌹🎉

[@TheJebusFamily]

Hey Hope, My husband and I buy storage units on the east coast lol and saw that you got the unit in Jessup MD. We had this one on our watch list FOREVER!! I actually went up to you during VidSummit to ask you about the lost cargo place you used. I'm sorry you got the unit but at the same time glad you got it so that we could see what was in it lol

[@InaMeshle]

I work at a storage site and have seen some interesting units go up for auction. I honestly hadn’t thought about people abandoning units hoping to get money from it since I’ve only seen it happen once. Most often I see people just abandon what they don’t want to keep without realizing that whatever the auction doesn’t cover goes to collection. So….if you think of doing this scam just realize it can become a big gamble.

I wanted to give you a tip: so when you go on eBay you can take a picture or look it up and when you do that go to filters and click sold and completed items and you will get more accurate prices

I've sold EMPTY game boxes on ebay to collectors for as high as $200. So some boxes and ESPECIALLY inserts are very valuable. There are collectors out there who have the products but not original boxes.

Wait, I don’t understand how someone “purposely abandons” it but still gets the money?? Doesn’t it go towards the months unpaid and the storage unit company?

[@agnesgoesadventuring2227]

I think the employees there said it in the video, what they get for the unit usually ends up being more than they owed, so what's owed for the unit is taken out and then the people who abandoned it get what's left over.

[@vamountainman2512]

There is a bit of a cash in empty Apple boxes, people buy them off Ebay to put refurbished Ipads etc in to sell them on. Certain retro trainers can sell for a lot of money.

The first and second shelfs of Basketball Sneakers were worth a lot more than you quoted more like $40 to $250 each even used the most expensive were the red abd black ones on top they are worth in fine used condition about $250

[@dhernandez3202]

When your looking at eBay prices you should look at what they sold for not for what they are listed for. You can list anything for any amount but when you click sold you see what people are actually paying for the item.

This is my favorite one you’ve got so far! It was fun and I loved all of this. I immediately knew it was all fake for the most part as soon it started but still a good time. I grew up seeing those Barbie’s in my Aunts collection. She had every Barbie from like 1985 to the early 2000s last I was around the collection. She had a whole room so of course I spotted the Millennium Barbie in the background on site! Loved the finds in this. I’m a long time viewer of yours and this video gave me life lol
