Surprised at the amount of negative comments for this vid. I think Taco does really well with his content..always thinking about how to make it a better experience for us subbies. I guess it could be a bit frustrating for him to read some of them when he tries so hard. Maybe we should try appreciating the effort he puts in rather than being nitpicky about what he hasn’t shown in the unit or banging on about how he got a picked over unit. Keep doing what you’re doing Taco..your vids are great just the way they are 👍

@@TacoStacks I like it when you stop in somewhere for a bite to eat and include that in your video. Somehow just makes it more interesting. Are you still going to Subway, if so include us and show us what you bought. People always like to hear about food. Happy Birthday, I think it's coming up soon!

That's at least $100 worth of toys in that box. Toxic Crusaders, Police Academy, Rambo,...all kinds of cool retro stuff. Also, that vehicle is from Robo Cop.

[@janicerc4906]

I definitely like the camera angle. And I enjoy the other camera shots you are doing, (up and down the stairs, etc.). It shows what is involved in storage auctions, including the hard work. Carrying those boxes up and down stairs. Whew.

Yeah I like the position of the camera it’s a good angle I can see all the treasures lol

Thanks Taco for yet another interesting video. I'm sure I speak from many people that you are a comfort because you are like a reliable friend. Never too busy to stop in and visit with us and share your life with us. That's why I'm glad you do Mail Day, because it gives us a chance to share our lives with you and also to thank you properly.

Optical illusion...those were early 60's science kits. My dad was science teacher and got them for us. Brought back good memories. Also, the press lights or tap lights are great to have on hand for power outages. HAndy for lighting hallways and rooms during hurricane season. The Bell and Howell lights went on a light bar to hold while filming 8 mm home movies. More good memories.

[@toiwright1620]

The puzzles and games that have the Twin Towers on them can be worth some money!

[@janetcahill4645]

Yes, like the closeup photos. Pics are better with new camera.

[@sherryfronterhouse8512]

Really like the way you photographed the video...it's much easier to see all the goodies. Between that sealed Schmid Manhattan puzzle and those microwavable booties, you will come pretty close to paying for that unit if you list them on eBay and ask buyer to pay shipping. The Schmid puzzles can sell for pretty good money and that's definitely one that is desirable.

[@oaklandathletic]

Really appreciated the approach you had with this video...Taking time showing us what you got.. letting us see in the totes even if you don't talk about it.. Very interesting what you can find in a tote...Thank you....A followup video of your research would be cool as you are putting your stuff away...... content ...

love the big wooden storage box. I could do so much with that. Bet you can too.

[@LizEfting]

The wooden box can be used as a camping kitchen. It opens so that the door flops down and becomes a clean flat surface. It would sit on the tailgate of a truck or on a table. It stored foods, dishes, cutlery, etc.

I had that EXACT Peanuts thermos (in the lunchbox) when I was in @ 1st grade - 1972! I recognized RoboCop in that car thing, not sure if they go together or not. *NICE* score! 🐉🐉🐉

Glad I’m not the only one thinking the same. I believe the people who pay for the higher priced units take the stuff they don’t want to sell or can’t sell & buy a storage unit & abandons it

It is a stereo viewer. very neat. its missing some parts but depending on the maker it may be well worth your time to fix it.

In the 90s when I was growing up, you could buy the McDonald's cups and glasses. They sometimes came with meals, but it was mostly a few bucks to get them. I'm not sure about the eras before that. Of course McDonald's doesn't do as many movie and tv show themed meals anymore. It was all about marketing deals back then. My family had a large collection of those.

A dolly is a platform with four wheels and two axles that can be used to transport heavy items from one location to the next. ... Unlike hand trucks, which can slide under the item on the ground, items have to be lifted onto the dolly in order to transport them.

[@kerrypitt9789]

Taco, about seven or eight years ago Jordan Hemsbrough had videos out under the name Toy Hunter. Even if his videos are older, he is very good about explaining toys. In some cases one small toy could be worth more than you paid for the locker. I know you are busy but it wouldn't hurt to find time to check out toys. Especially toys from the 80's. Geez Taco I love watching your shows in the morning. Sort of a Breakfast Taco show! 😁🇨🇦

[@susansmith6680]

The view you gave us was great. I enjoy looking at storage room stuff. Seems to be some collectibles.

[@christinegreywolf]

FYI- By law, the storage facility can break the lock, take pictures, and close it and place a security lock on the unit. Since they only have a security lien against the property - they are not permitted to go shopping or to stage the items. PERIOD. If you have seen this happen you need to report the storage unit facility to the Justice Department for violating the lien law. This unit was clearly gone through and then staged.

TACO! I can't tell you how many times I passed this video by on youtube because to tell you the truth I wasn't enjoying the way you were doing your storage unit videos. You were just rushing through them and just showing us the top of the boxes and it was all rush rush. I was going to tell you anyway we like to go through the boxes as if we bought them ourselves. So I finally stopped and watched this one and I was pleasantly surprised to see you have slowed it down and going through the boxes with us. THANKS! I liked it better.

You may be used to them, but those look like spider (black widow?) egg sacs in that wooden box. Get rid of them before they hatch. Also, check the flash bulb box for any metal flash handles. Some of the better old ones bring really good money ($400+) by Star Wars mega fans who make lightsabers with them. Search Star Wars Flash Handles or graflex flash handles etc. Always love your videos. Been watching since your very early YT days.

We had a Bell and Howell home movie camera in the early 60s. If you were filming indoors, there was a metal frame that attached to the side of the camera. It held lights that were extremely bright; that's why so many people are squinting in older home movies. You could land a plane with those things! I believe that may have been what you got in the box.

[@amyfisher6380]

The large flash bulbs in the Bell & Howell box screw into the flash thingy you found earlier. If you watch really old movies you’ll see news photographers holding up the flash holder to take photos. The vintage cameras and camera equipment should go up on eBay.
