I Bought A $50 Storage Unit... Look What's Inside!

$50 can buy you a lot of boxes. Will they be trash or treasure?

Hey Miss Moose...It could have been a lot worse....at least you can go home and get a good workout jumping rope, then play your Beatles records on your new pink record player, and have your self a nice chocalate Seegar cigar, then later tonight, watch Garth Brooks on your new DVD player, then at bedtime take a couple of Advil's, and contemplate what might have been.☺☺

[@PaperandMoose]

"How To Spend A Day - Storage Auctions Style!" In college, I actually took a class on The Beatles. Quite interesting, though the only things I really remember from that class is the professor bringing in his guitar and singing us Beatles songs and also watching Easy Rider. The professor was eccentric, but a nice man who taught from the heart. I always knew that if I read my papers and couldn't understand anything I discussed that it was an A+. His thinking was different, so had to make sure that our writing was a bit out there and it usually worked :0)

Well you won't be able to retire on it but any buy that turns a profit is a good one. Maybe gold bricks and wads of cash in the remaining boxes. Have a great Thursday; it's a beautiful day here - hope there too.

[@PaperandMoose]

Just finished up recording the other boxes and there was a "shocking" discovery! (That could actually be good for the thumbnail or title haha) Cold day here, I'm glad to be back inside and warmed up. The storage unit/pallet videos allow me for some time to spend on the other videos that I really enjoy making, such as the old newspaper & History Behind the Paper videos. I will be going to an estate sale tomorrow, advertised as a "Packed House!", so that video will be good to add into the mix. I'm excited, as it has been some time since I've been to an estate sale! Any flea markets or estate sales this weekend for you?

[@stephenritz5581]

@@PaperandMoose There are a number but none seem to have my kind of stuff. I may hit a few anyway as I am starting my Christmas break. There are some good trunks within 2-3 hours drive of here on Marketplace or Craigslist but I can’t decide if I want to make the drive. Anticipating the “shocking” discovery. I know it’s probably a Gute

[@cathyhelmuth823]

Believe you have more than enough to make your money back! I love watching you dig and discover! Your facial expressions and vocal inflections are hysterical! Thanks for bringing laughter to our lives!

[@PaperandMoose]

Thank you for watching!

[@Str8OuttaTheBluez]

I remember Mood fabric store being featured as “THE” fabric store on Project Runway. ❤

[@PaperandMoose]

Oh wow! I remember watching that show several years ago.

[@Str8OuttaTheBluez]

@@PaperandMoose me too, I was ADDICTED lol

[@pegs1659]

You are very kind. Those designer patterns look like the ones my daughter drew in the 8th grade.😂

[@PaperandMoose]

I was expecting patterns similar to those that I found in another pallet, so I had to chuckle a bit when I saw these. But I must say, if they sewed the skirts that I found in the barrel, no worries on what their sketches are like as their clothing making abilities are great!

[@fareast_de]

Nope, I never get tired to see a new P & M storage war clip, that´s for sure ! 😉 You didn´t find a gold mine this time, but there´s more than enough stuff inside these boxes to get your money back and much more: vinyl records, a record player, fancy hats, Diesel jeans etc. I think that the previous owner might have been a fashion designer or something similar. Great to hear that you walked across Abbey Road, I´ve never been there. 💂‍♀Keep it up, Renée, and have a fantastic Christmas time ! 🎄 Greets from GER, U.

[@PaperandMoose]

Going back to London is on my wish-list too! I'll spend most of my time there drinking tea, I would suppose. I was checking the calendar to see how much time I had to send out Christmas cards, as for some reason I thought Christmas was still over 2 weeks away. Well surprise, surprise, nope! Have to get writing them tonight!

[@fareast_de]

@@PaperandMoose A lot of postal delay over here due to snow and ice a couple of days ago, so the "Christmas Special" package to Bloomsbury including "Walter´s correspondence" needed TWO WEEKS from Hannover to Frankfurt aiport. Incredible...So it´s up to USPS to deliver it to your adress right before Christmas. We shall see...😉

[@maureenb.8517]

You are so right about fabric being expensive. Many years ago I learned to sew and made a lot of my own clothes. It was much cheaper then. No way I could do that now. It would cost an arm and a leg 😬

[@PaperandMoose]

It seems that the best bet for purchasing at stores is probably to wait until they have a sale or if any go on clearance/out of season.

[@NanaColeen]

I would have gone wild for the fabric back when I sewed😁❤ I lost it all in a flood, so I still drool over fabric. You might have some first print fabric, that would be $$$ Great for quilters.

[@samanthab1923]

I was just watching my favorite vintage guy who picked up a bolt of antique fabric. Perfect for drapes. Love the old textiles. ❤

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hey Renee. Another Unit and $50.. dollars is a steal. All that fabric made more than you know. The hats 🤠and purse 👛👜 are amazing to sell at the Flea Market. I can't wait to see more of what you out from the storage unit. God Bless you sweet Renee. Take care. Feliz Navidad my dear friend. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁. Love you. Mari'a. 🎁🎄👜👛🤠❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍👍🧑‍🎄🧑‍🎄☃️☃️💗💖💙💜

We never get tired of your videos, not just storage. Keep being your joyful irrepressible self.

[@SassySue67]

Renee, check the selvage edge on that fabric for the maker and a date. Some of it could be vintage. Thanks for sharing.

[@samanthab1923]

I watch a channel that looks for anything along those lines. Lives in a 1930’s bungalow.

You had me at squishy ball Rene..🙄🤗 That was alot of fun watching you go through the totes..😍😮 Love these video's..🎉 Take care..👍💕🔥👊

[@kaylawiklanski6796]

Crazy to have bought two different pallets of a designer. Any quilter would love the fabric. It's crazy how expensive it is to buy brand new.

[@silverstatepicks]

I sold my pink record player same as yours, $60. Nice find, you just made your money back on 1 item! Your killing it.

[@ameichholz]

Don't pass up the MOOD designer fabric bag.... you can resell the bag by its self if it's a fabric type bag, not sure if it's plastic but worth looking into.

[@marygrummer9189]

These videos are always fun to watch!

[@PaperandMoose]

Glad you enjoy them!

[@vinyl1Earthlink]

I suspect the Citigroup thing is something you give to an employee at Christmas, instead of a bonus. Merry Christmas!

Hello Rene luv storage videos have an awesome Christmas with yout family and friends ❤😊

[@davidbelton2086]

I love watching all your videos, keep them coming.

[@paularice4501]

We sang Eleanor Rigby in middle school choir! Flash back! You might be able to sell the bags at the flea market for shoppers.

[@PaperandMoose]

I’ve also just given them to buyers at the flea market. When they see me putting their items in a nice, sturdy bag, many end up buying more!

[@HollywoodHaunter]

Never get tired of these unboxings. I love the mystery of what might be next. Like chocolate Seegars...nice 😆 Chris had a pair of Diesel shoes when we first met that were super cute. Now he dresses so lame 🤣🤣🤣

[@PaperandMoose]

There was a store in the next town over from my college that was only a jean store. I remember going there with a friend & couldn’t believe that a pair of jeans could cost that much money. That could buy one or two college textbooks at the time 😆

[@merrilee1000]

Merry Christmas 🎅

[@PaperandMoose]

Merry Christmas!

[@Nonayabizness360]

I looked up the pink Crosley record player and it was 69.00 . So that and those very nice bins were worth 50 bucks. I have missed quite a few videos, been taking care of my mother. I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving ❤ btw just looked up a pair of Diesel jeans and they sell for 395.00 for a new pair! Crazy!

[@amyweaver7413]

I always enjoy your videos, whatever the topic. And I always admire your “you win some, you lose some attitude”.😊

[@PaperandMoose]

For storage units, it really is win some, lose some!

[@Becky_Theroux_Gockel]

I love it when you go through fabric boxes. I used to go to estate sales that say crafters. I used to make costumes for family members. I am going to have to sell my stash now. I love watching your videos.

I like these unboxing videos. You make them fun😅❤🐨

[@marisolpinney8406]

I am CERTAIN,You Renee will make back the FIFTY DOLLARS AND SOME from that Palette. Nice video 🥰.

[@carolynsimone8647]

Great video...i don't think youll have any trouble making money on this one...everything has sky rocketed in price...for sure fabricis in that category...i can remember getting remnants for 59 cents a yard...whoops.. I'm telling my age...😅...thanks for a fun video...🥰🥰

[@OriginalNethead]

A lot of the fabric scrap looks like a lot of upholstery material. No reason you couldn''t make clothing out of it though if you're so-minded. I think the previous owner wanted to design and made at least some of their own clothes. It's not a goldmine, but Rene won't go backwards on it.

[@PaperandMoose]

I liked the handmade skirts that I found in the barrel, so I'm hoping more pieces like those are at the bottom. Their sewing abilities far outweigh mine, as if I attempted to sew a skirt, it would look nothing like it :0)

[@carolineloeser3071]

That is some beautiful material. Lots of goodies. Thank you very much for sharing 😊

[@sheilacirioni4676]

Oh boy! May find some great finds..Might be vintage material..Good luck!😊💒🌬❄☃️🌲🥶

The fabric scraps could be the patterns. I use fabric to draft patterns.

[@davidrayward7533]

Not a washout Renee, plenty scrapage but lots of nice bags, chic purses and a funky hat. The work of a budding designer? Cool skirts I thought. The girl/guy had talent. Sketches weren't exactly ‘Edith Head’ but, never mind…..

Great video Renee. You need to do a fashion show video on the clothing you keep for yourself. Me and my daughter hit resale shops I'm looking for Tonka toys my daughter hits the clothes racks. And she has found some great stuff for her and the grandkids.

That fabric is fri Mood and is not cheap. Quilters want scraps to make quilts. I think you did well. You might have to do a little bit of research, but I think you will be surprised by the price of fabric. Keep on making these great videos. I love watching them. Merry Christmas! 🕊️🩷🥰

Take "all that fabric" and delight all of us that sew.

[@DonVDBorgh]

Looks intresting for $50. I sometimes think I like to go to an auction like that for the excitement of the buy. Now then though, as a novice idlikey overpay and be underwhelmed by the outcome. I don't have an outlet to resell as you do. Has any of the previous owners of the stuff ever contacted you, or anyone you know who does this and say it was there's and would like some back? It looked cool out, don't catch cold 👍🤒👍

[@PaperandMoose]

That hasn't happened so far. I've heard stories of others that have tried to return some personal items like certificates & photographs and the family had no interest in them. It seemed like there was some broken relations, so guess that's why they didn't bother to retrieve the items from the unit. On a side note, got your card in the mail and I've given Taco Stacks his card! I'll open your card in the next mail video :0)

[@DonVDBorgh]

@@PaperandMoose Always seam like some sad note to storage items. Glad many get a second chance to make someone happy. (Card got there fast 👍)

[@larryboysen5911]

In your intro. photo...your expression reminds me of how I'd look if I opened a bin of beautifully packed neat fr-g figurines!!!!! No, Renee, keep 'em coming!! Years ago, I knew a woman who was passionate about hats, she had a collection of vintage head ware, as well as being a member of a hat collectors club. Well...those pants may be worth something...as I see a number of young ladies wearing jeans with tears and holes, especially with bare knees hanging out! Horse back riding?? Good luck on the second haul!

[@PaperandMoose]

I was at an estate sale this morning and thought perhaps, perhaps, there would be at least one frog.... Nope. How is this possible? Where are all on the frogs on the east coast?

[@larryboysen5911]

They are in my collection!!!!!@@PaperandMoose

"like a record player round round,"

That looks like it was a storage unit of an FIT student. Mood fabrics is right across the street.

[@wellarmedwife166]

those ripped up jeans, there is a company called reworn that takes spendy jeans that are ruined and redoes them...they sell for more than the perfect jeans did to begin with...it is always one of my favorite finds at the thrift and yard sales. they may take them off your hands...for a profit

[@SprucedandGussied]

Renee, we musty2k be around the same age because yep, when I was in college, Diesel Jeans and shoes were all the rage and I never got any because they were out of my price range. And then they pretty much disappeared. But Diesel is having a huge comeback now. Lots of Kpop stars and celebrities are wearing Diesel. Maybe its the y2k resurgence.

[@PaperandMoose]

The Y2K resurgence is strong! You walk into a clothing store now and it's like you are back in 2001 haha. I still remember going to the "Diesel' jeans store with my friend and I almost needed a shovel to scoop my mouth from off the floor when I saw the price.

[@SprucedandGussied]

@@PaperandMoose Thanks for your replies today. I've been binging on your videos . Been subbed to you for years but Ive been kind of MIA lately. Yes, we had a store in Berkeley CA that sold designer stuff and they had a huge diesel section and I remember thinking the prices were insane. I feel it was around that time that jeans(7 or all man kind etc started popping up and charging insane amounts for jeans. Too funny that we're talking about Diesel Jeans. I recently found a vintage pair(mightve been my sisters, who knows where they came from) that I'm going to add to my online vintage clothing store. Perfect timing! Have a great day!

[@denisemcgovern2485]

I love these videos. Do you sell the items EBay?

[@PaperandMoose]

Most of the items found in a storage unit like this are sold at the flea market. It's easier to sell the items like clothes & regular purses there versus on eBay. If the clothes would have been vintage or higher end, then online selling venues would work better.

[@latrelle1142]

Hello Renee. Well I’m sure the fabric people will love this one. I’m sure you’ll make a nice profit of the fabric itself. I’m not sure if they would have gotten a prize for there drawing of there clothes but they did better than I could. I’m more an out doors person flowers trees hills and streams. But I guess if you’re just leaning it’s not bad. Take care. Enjoy your weekend. 🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️🕵🏼‍♀️☕️🫖☕️🫖🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@andrewbrown8216]

Well you didn't find treasure but you should make a profit! As I said to before storage unit and just boxes or totes are two different things! Storage units you can what potential there is or isn't, boxes you can't!

The Crosley turntable is complete garbage, with about $3 worth of plastic parts stuck together in China - do not play your records on that! The 2009 Beatles reissues are worth about $20-30 each if they haven't been wrecked by playing on a junk-grade turntable.
