Surprise Inside! Abandoned Storage Unit Box Reveal

[@maddog6191]

With this unit you'll be rocking all the way to the bank with this surprise

[@deloresapps338]

I enjoy the tote opening videos. Please don't stop showing your finds.

[@fareast_de]

More than fourty totes for a whopping hundred bucks ?! Even the empty totes are worth more than that, so welcome to your growing wealth ! 👍 Harbinger channel mixers are perfect solutions for singer- songwriters, small groups and home recording setup and are always selling for a decent amount of $$$, depending on the item. Sir Colin Davis had some Munich relationship because he conducted the Bavarian Symphony Orchestra in the 1980s, highly recommendable. Jacques Brel was a very famous Belgian chansonnier ("Ne me quitte pas / Don´t leave me" etc.). Seems that the previous owner got a very good music taste and was perhaps a musician as well. Even the book section starts very promising, can´t wait to see more of it ! So, congrats on your amazing finds, prosperity and your trip to Munich is right around the corner ! 😉Greets from GER, U.

Now to find the tote that has the musical instruments! Can you imagine? If there's a trumpet, I'm afraid that my 5th grade trumpet lessons are long forgotten, so I won't be able to play it. I was the only girl in the "trumpet section" and during lessons I would always get in trouble because the boys would make me laugh. For Christmas a few years later, I asked for an electric guitar so that I could be like my favorite rock stars. Thankfully it was a cheap model from a JCPenney Catalog, as my guitar playing skills weren't the best. Needless to say, a career in music was not meant for me! :0)

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMooseNice coincidence, because I always wanted to learn trumpet or piano. And what did my dad get for me ? An accordion ! No way, I refused to learn this instrument and just took C- Flute lessons at school. I was quite good on this instrument and just can play it today, e.g. during Christmas celebrations ("Stille Nacht / Silent Night").

Okay I’m soooo jealous of the cassette to USB! That is AWESOME! 🎉

A viewer mentioned that they were available awhile back & I completely forgot to look online. Now I have one!

Very interesting unit Renee

[@TammyRobins-York]

Renee, Phantom of the Opera is my absolute, all time favorite! My daughter took me to see the play for my birthday a few years ago. We had a wonderful time together. That was the BEST birthday ever for me!!!! I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work. Much love, Tammy from KY.

[@PaperandMoose]

I saw the Phantom of the Opera a few times in high school & then a few times after. I so wanted to see it again on Broadway before it closed but didn't get the chance.

[@julieburtch7885]

Oh but have you seen Les Mis???? My all time favourite!!

[@davidrayward7533]

Sir Colin Davies - Great Conductor I think. What a beautiful classical box collection - overseen by the great man I presume, then rounded off by some high-quality sound stuff and music books. Absorb, consider, digest. Gloves on time, smelly socks are next. Sublime to ridiculous. Then guess what? More books. Nothing to sniff at though Renee ( sock joke ). All looked good to me….😊

[@PaperandMoose]

I wouldn't mind a few more totes full of actual music!

[@davidrayward7533]

[@nrivera4380]

How nice finding the sound equipment worth good money, Renee! I have tons of books as well and am getting rid of the how-to/DIY/cookbooks 1st. A few months ago I got the idea of contacting Tapas bars/restaurants in my area asking if they knew any patrons that were looking for Tapas (and Spanish) cookbooks. After contacting the one place closest to me, the owner decided to buy 3 books! I was so happy!

[@alanbirkner1958]

Renee, a terrific find. I always enjoy watching your storage buys. Tina, Al's wife

I’ve enjoyed the totes and being surprised when one is open. I’d watch more even if you had 6 totes of just books. 😀 congrats that one collection looked great. ~ Texas

[@susanhoughton1104]

I enjoy seeing the books scanned. It’s just another part of reselling and not for everyone. But as a book lover they all have some level of interest.

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Renee. This was fun. Just going through the totes is amazing. I love that you found some music 🎵 and cosmetics 💄 as well. It wasn't just books. Well, I have a surprise for you. I just got my comics in the mail, and I am enjoying them right now. It is good to have something to read when you can't sleep at night 🌃. God Bless you sweet Renee. Hope to see more of those totes. Taco Stack's is amazing, and letting you have your stuff in his unit. HUGS 🤗. Mari'a. 🤗🤗🌃🌃💄💄❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@PaperandMoose]

It's extremely generous of Taco Stacks to let me store my totes with him, taking up space, which he needs! I'm trying to go through them as quickly as I can so that I can clear the space. It's easier to sort there, as whatever I take to the flea market stays with Taco Stacks anyway for when we sell together at the market. Hope that you enjoy reading those comics!

[@liddybird3608]

Love those rugs! I hope there are a couple of totes full of them.

As promised...I'm back. I had a very nice time meeting my family member and his lady friend...guess what...they both love thrifting and vintage items...they just loved my stuff...and Erik also loves and collects fr-g figurines...so...I'm not a "nut" after all as to my interests! Vintage toy piano??? A real treasure of music! Nice throw rugs. "Wee Little Man"...sounds like my story! A tote loaded with fr-gs...I'd purchase that one!! I have quite a library of century old books...technical, medical, home making, and musical subjects.

Taco Stacks is a wonderful friend to help you move and store. Love seeing what you find. I love finding old cookbooks from the 1920 -1800’s.

[@TheCar1ter]

I love these videos, just the excitement of what's going to be in there. Remember these are people's belongings that in all reality they probably planned on getting this stuff back. So you can never tell what's going to be in them. Great video Renee love you and happy scanning😀

[@sarahanderson8371]

What great finds you got in those totes. Way to go!

[@LavishHim]

As a musician, I’d say get that musicians equipment up for sale asap. Although a little older, musicians and studios still want those items. Try to find the correct cords and wires for them. Good luck!

[@amandabrush4677]

I am completely fascinated by this collection of books and records. I imagine what kind of person would have stored this. My guess is a young man, trained in dance and music, hoping to get in the theater world on Broadway. Whatever happened to him and his dreams?

[@debcattell7059]

Some interesting items in these totes. I cant wait to see what else you find. 😊😊

[@nescofiets]

I love watching you opening mystery video's. You are so real and honest about what you find in the boxes.

[@stephenritz5581]

I guess you can't judge book totes by their covers. And a little stool for making a little stool (sorry 😒). You're definitely in the money on this buy now. I had never seen one of those cassette > USB devices. Can you record the cassette to USB-enabled devices or just play it? Thanks for taking us along & enjoying the surprise of seeing what you've bought. Hope you have a great Wednesday and find the power cord to that mixing board!

[@PaperandMoose]

For the Cassette converter, it appears that I just plug it into my computer and then the cassette can be converted into a digital file. (Which then to burn onto a CD, I'd have to dig out my old CD burner which most likely isn't compatible with my current laptop... or perhaps put the files on some other type of device... Technology!) I just thought about the randomness of the sock & kitchen utensil tote. Books, books, books... socks, tongs, and a little stool. I've sorted a few more totes since recording this video and they were all books. Can't wait to see what else I will find! Hopefully that power cord!

[@ginger_grizzly]

I don’t know if this happens in the US, but over here in the UK a lot of disused telephone boxes (the iconic red ones) have been converted into miniature free book exchange libraries (after the telephone apparatus has been removed, obviously). So usually people will take a book or books for free as long as they drop off a book or books in exchange. Of course honesty and respect for the system is paramount, but it has been going on for a while now due to the decline of public telephone usage and British Telecom threatening to remove the boxes unless a use can be found for them. Just wondered if old phone kiosks in the US were repurposed in a similar way?

[@PaperandMoose]

All of our telephone booths are long gone 😞 They removed one of the last ones in this area, that I can recall, last summer. Many had been removed long before then. What a great idea though on how to repurpose those structures! Many people have built little boxes that look like the front of a house, usually with 2 or 3 shelves, and a door with a glass window, using that for a little community library.

[@edwardstrains267]

Cincinnati has a bookstore that buys used books. Maybe you have something like that in your area.

[@MissouriOldTimer]

isn't shipping on literature some what cheaper than other types of shipping?

[@PaperandMoose]

Media mail is usually cheaper, though there has been some discussion lately about the post office raising the price of media mail, along with other rates as well. With Ground Advantage, depending on where a book is being shipped to and the weight of the book, sometimes that is the better option for faster delivery as well as more cost effective.

Hello Renee. Well this has become a very fascinating unit. With all the music books and the music equipment this person was a very interesting person. I’m wondering now what happened to him or her. Did they accomplish there dreams and just went on to become to busy to get to pay on there items or maybe they just didn’t care about them anymore. Or did they pass away . I’m hoping they became famous and are now enjoying making others happy with their music. Tack care . 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🫖☕️🫖☕️🫖☕️🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

My instrument playing days ended in 5th grade! Haha I played the trumpet for a year & then attempted to take up the guitar in 7th or 8th grade. That was worse than the trumpet!

[@tamabogert9494]

Remember when you were in school and they would grade something on the curve? Everyone in the class would get a C, but there'd be that one kid that would get an A and screwed it up for everybody else. Listing something at a rock bottom price it's kind of like being the kid that got an A. Instead of raising the bar you're lowering the bar. Meaning everyone else is going to have to start to lower their prices and if they're reselling to pay the bills it's not good.

[@PaperandMoose]

Currently on eBay, the same box set is listed for over $300, except for one in Japan which is listed for $255. On Amazon, prices are all over the board from $299 up to $771. Now for solds on eBay, the most recent one that wasn’t sealed (like mine) sold for $135. Sealed sold for around $200. On Discogs, the asking price for the only one available in the States is $92 plus $55 in shipping (why that much for shipping, I have no idea). So my $100 or around that price is actually a fair price for an opened box set like this. Sealed makes a little difference. Seems like the $300 or more isn’t a feasible purchase price for most people & that’s why it doesn’t sell at that price point (at least here in the States).

[@jennielee3977]

Even if she did want to lower her price to move items faster that's her business. It's not like she has dozens of the same thing, and would really ruin the market. And do you really want all the sellers to work together to keep prices high for everyone? Really?
