[@abernathy2]

Taco Stacks, are your tee shirts 100% cotton or 50% cotton & 50% polyester? Thanks!

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

You HAVE to do a hat and shirts with TACO STACKS AND SALSA...HAVE TO!

[@toamataafa9463]

How much for the 5XL T-Shirts TS.

[@tammyhuddleston4940]

What brand is the shirt? Thanks!

[@CJG1419]

Taco Stacks can you get long sleeved and extra long t shirts? Would love to wear with leggings. Great finds!

[@jamiegroom2707]

If you go back by the house that had the three old suit cases- grab the large glass dome. If its older, they go for about $150. Antiques collectors put them over dolls and clocks.

[@richtreehugger]

Yup. They're called a glass Cloche. Only if they're antique & hand blown are worth alot. But still a good score to grab.

[@ginadean4206]

And those cloches are worth good money, very much sought after, and very fashionable right now

[@foxtale5025]

"probably not filled with stamps" i mean, you won't know if you don't look..

[@trash2cash569]

I can't believe someone threw out those Barbies.. makes me mad as a collector. You should have taken the clock and stamp books for sure.

[@larrybarton2351]

If u forget bin, pick up a cardboard box at trash stop!!

[@milliemarky4464]

Those macrame things were plant holders, real big in the 1970’s...

[@hannakinn]

Millie Marky - yes macrame plant holders that held potted plants. They were quite popular and are still fine decor for mid century modern decorating.

[@ginadean4206]

Very very trendy at the moment

[@suejohnson3972]

You are right

[@skaarup33]

They are again.

[@DE-ey9lb]

When you forget your bin, why not just pick up an empty box from the garbage and use it? Or a basin like the green one where you got the suitcases?

[@tangomoggy]

Or any one of the suitcases you left behind...!

[@richtreehugger]

That old luggage with the oak ribs, is worth over $100! I have 3. Great score Taco! 👍❤

[@lisabruce1732]

I think the box on the stand may be a sewing box. Just a guess.

[@barbarasweet5555]

I agree. May have been decorated/upscaled to stay out in the common area of the house. And the Christmas lights are vintage incandescent (40 to 50 years old).

[@denniscase5850]

my g ma had one like it but u decorated, sewing box

[@fishandpeppers4643]

Sewing box that someone decorated. Probably worth more without the decorations.

[@MKCarol-ms7lg]

Its a sewing box. I have one. Might try decorating it a bit like that one.

[@michellelefevre2775]

Yup, my grandma had one as well.

[@ez4prez]

Always pick up old papers. Looks like old horse racing papers left behind. Some old racing ephemera can for worth hundreds $$$!

[@robcunningham7837]

Dude... love your videos... But you took a broken lamp and left an easy $100 clock. just my 2 cents... take care

[@jodiyoung5578]

Always check stamp books. People do not know the worth of stamps. You never know

[@patriciahazeltine9986]

My brother sold his stamp collection for $70,000.00...he started it as a kid...40 plus years of collecting.

[@jodiyoung5578]

My grandfather had a huge collection. My brother foolishly let a guy take the older stamp books to look at, and an expensive stamp was taken out of the book by that guy. But my brother could not prove it. What are going to do.

[@tangomoggy]

In future, document any items of value and photographically record them as proof of ownership...!

[@jodiyoung5578]

Patricia Hazeltine, That's great!

[@jodiyoung5578]

tangomoggy, Very true. I told him that.

[@Kitty-wb1kf]

Love these vids. I was hoping to see what was inside those old suitcases. Shucks!

[@marthaneuhauser1019]

You passed up some good things, macrame were plant holders, I have a giant one, worth 100, bucks, I get some frustrated with you, cause you don't show us some of the goods stuff!!! Oh well!! LoL!!!

[@ernabueing4250]

Take that stair basket, it is good when you have stairs and want to put things in it that go upstairs. That box stand is for yarn storage when you are a knitter or crochet.

[@rebeccanichols1165]

Hey Taco I believe that is a sewing box that someone decorated. I shouldn't say sewing, ladies would keep any project they were working on in it. Great video and great finds.

[@maever62]

The "Some kind of swing" was actually a pair of macrame potted plant hangers. I'd have given you good money for them.

[@CaliforniaGleamin]

The box on a stand is a sewing box. They junked it up with gluing stuff to it.

[@DeborahBRyan-dc5dx]

Absolutely a sewing box.

[@timburnette5914]

It always surprises me with the stuff people throw away lol

[@LCx829]

I donate almost everything from old books to a library, old sheets to an animal shelter because its stupid to let all this stuff go to a landfill.

[@holly5791]

Those macrame’ plant hangers are money. They, like a lot of other stuff from the 70’s, are back. They are selling on Ebay. 👍🏻 The odd looking box, I think, is probably a sewing stand/kit. 😊

[@ez4prez]

Love Taco Stacks, but this is the most frustrating video ever! Picked up $2. in aluminum and 3 ft. of copper wire and left behind a stack of vintage stamp albums and tons of ephemera and a BIG cuckoo clock ( broken or otherwise)worth big $$!! Taco...please, please, please do some ebay research so you don't just pick up the pennies and leave the dollars behind!

[@jomorawetz9391]

Good

[@melindasnaps9816]

Not to mention he didn't even look at the glassware. Some of that stuff could be worth good money.

[@01Bluefin]

Yup. Left a lot of 🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮’s on the table not to mention flea market/swap meet stuff...

[@IronheadOfScroteus]

I like his videos but that is an aggravating aspect. The clock is a good example. If it's a German made Black Forest clock, they can be fixed. You can even order parts online. They are expensive, especially big ones with a lot of complications like that one. Age is another factor, older the better. Unless it is really water damaged or obviously smashed, it would have been a good grab.

[@SilentNoMore64]

Youre so right.

[@tinapoirier3524]

That was a beautiful sewing box! Great finds.

[@poodlegirl55]

The oil paint case was awesome. The box on a stand was an old sewing box and it looks like someones craft room threw up on it. "very Pinteresting"

[@Irene-iu9sj]

You know, old oil paint ,if opened ,they dry out. If acrylics ,they are isles. I hope they are oils .

[@rosikoenig7375]

OMG I can't believe you found those two boxes of Barbies.. as a Barbie doll collector I would be screaming now LOL

[@philipem1000]

But he left three stamp albums behind without even looking to see if there were stamps inside...

[@julesiou12]

Another good score! I'd love to see the box with the china you scored. Also loved that armchair you passed up. They had a lot of cool stuff there. The cases are really cool. Thanks for sharing each and every week.

[@mariusciobanu8836]

I like you always find a way to fill that van. I enjoy your videos ! Good score, dude.👍

[@IronheadOfScroteus]

And he fills it with scrap metal grates, screens, curtain rods and crutches while leaving really good stuff on the curb.

[@richtreehugger]

I'm sorry for posting so much but.....the German coo-coo clocks sell for good money on ebay even broken. A lot of people buy them for the parts and/or repair.

[@david666martin]

As he left it I kept saying he picks up weightless scrap metal but leaves cuckoo clocks lol

[@CarrieC1965]

Cuckoo

[@twiztedangie87]

I hope he sees this so he know next time even if something is broken a big ticket item still grab it for parts to put on his eBay shop

[@vintagemarylouise7319]

@@david666martin yep was thinking the same thing!

[@markm-ci6rj]

And the skis also the tent. We would never get away with putting such things out for the garbage truck.

[@Abbie-UK]

Wow Taco, what awesome finds, just amazing what people throw out ,, the green step stool i have one like that , cos im so short its real handy lol ,, ty for taking us with you . Peace!

[@legit4506]

Your comment made my day 😂 thank you so much

[@markadkins3434]

Seems to me all he is looking for is scrap metal instead of collectable resale items that he keeps passing up

[@darstill2195]

OH, OH, OH!!!!!! GREAT DAY!!! LOVE LUGGAGE! Love tins. Cuckoo clock still sellable though, especially if ornate, people will use parts. Good job today, wish you continued good luck picking!😀

[@treasureseeker8489]

Those were not rope swings. They were vintage Macrame hanging pot plant holders. Very popular, especially those with macrame Owls.

[@indicolina]

14:26 was that an old german clock? around here even broken they can be worth something. 15:15 macramé, looks like pot plant ones. If they were old they would be worth something. But so very glad you took the barbies.

[@MrAgatto2]

yeah that barbie set up is worth 100 around this way

[@spankyboob]

My mom used to have the wooden bin with ivy on it, she used it in her sewing room to store fabric and notions.

[@CarrieC1965]

You need a partner to go with you. You're killing me with the tins though. You should answer more on your videos, like comments and the like.

[@josephinevelez6884]

Should have picked up the Koo Koo clock.

[@thisisunreal1]

Dude! That was like a 3 to 500 dollar cuckoo clock if it was complete. Those tops are meant to come off for transport.

[@ekavirpeters5936]

i ask my dog the same thing every day. what can you possibly be barking at. too funny

[@rosettagibson5614]

Luggage is worth some money Taco check into it there not cheap wish we could have seen the clock better looked really nice and what was in the luggage anything good ?. Thanks for sharing another good vedio. Rosetta.

[@milliemarky4464]

The old suitcases are awesome Taco Stacks! People love those for displays & photo shoots & stuff! Good call!

[@jasonsulham9495]

On the 1st stop you should have grabbed all those coffee cans and tins for scrap

[@PeaceandHope1980]

Hi Taco good seeing you enjoy going on the picks with you , i am watching the videos that I have missed lately Peace mildred!!!

[@peteb2]

In my city, so many pickers began turning up making a huge mess and/or brawling among each other over items. Then the City Council realized a lot of the stuff was worth big money that they could process as in recyclables. Over night they passed laws to make it an offense to collect curbside. Home owners now have to book a certain day when the council is covering your neighbourhood with their trucks and workgang. You can only put out ONE CUBIC METRE OF STUFF which is like one old washing machine and a single seater couch, no car parts etc! Kind of sad because in the past i scored some next old stuff.

[@piasquirt]

I really like how you try to keep your pick over neat when you leave.

[@trudesinadelaide]

Cool finds today. Love the Xmas lights, and the vine box stand thing :D Nice work Mr Taco. :)

[@MaryTheRead]

That old luggage 😍

[@Mrsstick07]

Your so curtious, clearing up after yourself😁. Really enjoy all Your video's. X

[@TheVintageBumbleBee]

I think the macrame was potted plant holders. Really back in fashion now!

[@stu-j]

Old media players like Walkman or Aiwa Walkman is the thing to find even just for parts. In the UK I sold this week a Aiwa jxm2000 personal stereo for £640 I found in a charity shop ( goodwill) for 50p... it’s massive at the moment

[@neonskyline1]

I noticed when i tried to buy one lol

[@richtreehugger]

OK, totally hooked. Just caught myself talking to the TV while watching. Boy, one of your treasure troves liked the ponies ;)

[@jalopyjoe4483]

Tis the Halloween season! That first bag you unzipped, I expected heads to roll out into the roadway and imagined bodies in those suitcases.

[@lorithesalukidiver308]

What was in the old suitcases? Great finds!!!!

[@sandyr-w6906]

Hi Taco, I love you videos. I just want to say, thank you for making them and showing us how to live the dream!

[@danburns1243]

I loved the video, great finds, I thought the old luggage was very cool! Thanks again for the video!

[@LavishHim]

Shouldn't have passed on those yearbooks. Sell on eBay!

[@johnaustin4243]

I know steel isn't worth much but in the first stop you left coffee cans a curtain rod and the metal shelf that you had in your hand.

[@CFBJR1979]

Vintage coffee cans are collectible and sell decently on eBay. He passes on so much stuff!!!

[@johnaustin4243]

@@CFBJR1979 how vintage? I'll assume Folgers room the 80's isn't vintage?

If you search "1980's Folgers Coffee can" in sold on eBay, it might surprise you. :)

[@hardbathsalts3143]

This guy would leave a box of money on the side of the road and take the banana peels.

[@withalohatara]

Hard Bathsalts Lol Agree!😂

[@divaden47]

Totally agree but probably doesn't have the storage or knowledge to what the things he leaves behind are worth in reality.

[@chefsarena7220]

He does!! He leaves all the good stuff behind! Thoes macrame is hot right now. Each woul fetch $30 bucks easily!!

[@tinabrewer_24ab12]

Great video. Yes the box on the stand is a sewing box. Nice finds.

[@richtreehugger]

The stand with the ivy wrapped around it was an old sewing box. You made $100's today Taco! So happy for you!

[@lisasspott6884]

You could of used a box for today since you forgot the bin. Also, Wow on old paint on eBay. Who knew? I guess you did! Nice haul.

Hello Taco Stacks ! Congrats to your finds ! You have an excellent camera ..you video / vlogs is good ! Wishing you all the good lucks in your trash discovery ..yet you dont get some of the nice stuff that you can resell in a garage sale ..i love the 3 boxes with kids stuff ..

Wooden thing with cherubs looks like a old sewing box I once had. You keep thread and small sewing supplies in it.

Great video nice picks, great find with those Barbies. Should have used on of those empty boxes since you forgot your bin.

[@emarm100]

Is there ever a day when someone isn’t throwing out Christmas lights?

[@TheKeenej]

The clock mechanism along with the Bellows that makes the cuckoo sound are quite valuable

[@neonskyline1]

I used to see Dyson Vacuum cleaners thrown away all the time

[@jillmadigan9841]

That looks like my late, great aunt's sewing basket. The roofed top boards open on both sides and a removable wooden 'drawer' for thread, needles, etc.) slides just below the (hinged) 'roof-doors, leaving a larger space below.

[@sarasills7259]

That box on stand looks like an old fashioned sewing box. Think my Mamaw had one like that. Love your videos and you.

[@jewls-ek9kt]

Nice shorts! Thanks for uploading. I really enjoyed the view ;-) Keep up the good work. Looking forward to your next video. Cheers!

[@flutterby9013]

In the beginning of this vlog the one street side garbage had a lot of vintage barbie stuff and vintage tins etc. It appeared maybe an elderly person passed and maybe they were emptying the house some. Do you check in books when you see that type of stuff? Many times older people hid money in books and behind paintings etc. and never told others so there could be some in those. People have found such stuff from garage sales etc in past.

[@adirondackErin]

Man! I think this is the best haul yet!

[@sirdukeusa3289]

What was in that blue bag? I collect those blue dishes and plates. I also collect vintage tins, @11:55 I love that stand. @15:14, those are macrame plant hangers.

[@SilentNoMore64]

Just letting you know, that coo coo clock was a good find. Many of those have ornaments that are meant to come off for transporting purposes. If it had the workings and weights, I would have grabbed it. That one looked like it was old and valuable. Not trying to tell you what to do, but I do know about clocks and just wanted to share that for next time you see one of those.

[@newlifeme1]

can you do a video on how you came to be so knowledgeable on vintage glassware and kitchen items. It is unusual for a such a young guy to know so much about old glassware. Maybe your mom or grandma taught you?

[@ShelbyAsInCar1969]

Photographers use old luggage like that for props in pictures

[@kyrad6543]

Ooh good idea! I've also seen old ones planted up with fairy gardens.

7:12 what 's in the bag. And perhaps luggages are a matching set , similar color. And that large picture[s?] were worth something ,[back checked?] frames perhaps antique, and nearly EVERYTHING IN THAT site WAS worth keeping .SCORE. Sir , are you getting DESENSITISED. You seem a bit nervouse , is that why you don't thoroughly check those boxes ? Good video tho. except maybe i am such a saver scrounch , bc my heart sinks when you walk away from those non checke boxes . 11:14 was something in the black suitcase 19:11 Gooood catch [when the tin slipped.Oil paint plus wooden case !wow . Cherry wood, the odd table thingy , could be worth a fortune.

I enjoy watching every type of video you do. I do a lot of "Roadside Shopping" myself. If I can't use something that's in good shape I can give it to friends, family and neighbors. Like you I often find antiques and vintage stuff. You think those are barking dogs? I have a reincarnated Rottweiler. She came back as a Chihuahua and boy is she P.O.d about it! The engine in the trash truck sets her off. She'll run to the back door and the gives the guys heck that are taking "Her" trash. Then she's off to the front door to fuss at the truck cuz they park behind my van. She is very territorial and protective of her stuff, her van and her human.
