I BOUGHT AN ABANDONED STORAGE UNIT FOR $170 - What Did We Find?!

[@mariusciobanu8836]

I like seeing more auction storages...dont stop !!! Great locker, Taco ! You found many tools in the locker...Great score 👍👍I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos !!!

[@StorageAuctionPirate]

Ciobanu Marius yes please buy lots more storages mr stacks .

[@bethmerryfield7186]

Thank you for including girls who might be into tools. I carry needle nose pliers in my bag, a measuring tape and have a toolbox. All good for repairing anything that may arise, including jewelry.

[@oggiebabe]

This is a great video. You really bought a great locker. You should easily get double your money if not more! I'm trying to picture all those tools sorted and laid out on tables. It would take a lot of table space. I'll bet you find some real gems. After washing (first in vinegar, then with detergent) some of those clothes should sell well. Your banter really makes your videos a real joy to watch. I think you are fantastic at what you do with the trash picking, storage locker buying, scrap metal recycling, and flea marketing. Saving the planet one piece at a time!

[@SiansCraftyCorner]

Sitting with a nice cuppa and chilling out to taco. Can't beat it :)

[@shadowlands5702]

Wow, filled to the brim. Nice to have the sun to help light it up for us to see. Great Video as always. Hugs

[@klptome66]

Taco wash clothes in whit vinegar first don't dry then rehash with tide wither febreze should be able to save clothes. As long as the mold didn't eat the fabric. Do not dry clothes until they are clean to your desire.

[@jessicamurphy2314]

how much vinegar?

[@klptome66]

@@jessicamurphy2314 1 to 2 cups

[@crystalm7732]

Does that get rid of the spots from mold? Wish I had known that a few years ago.

[@parkersnowe]

You can add baking soda as well and for Crystal M there is something called Orvis horse soap that takes a lot of stains out but not all of them.

[@21Cauzzie]

I would collect all the old tools. The old ones are hand forged and beautiful in themselves. Nothing is made like that now.

[@Will-nq3fo]

That Stanley lunchbox with thermos was a 20 spot all day.

[@ShaneManTV]

Great locker!! Man oh man! Too many great items! So fun to watch!! Thanks!!

[@dangooding1925]

Those crimpers are actually used for installing and uninstalling the cross links on tire chains that you use in the winter time.

[@ChirumboloFilm]

We've been picking up lots of rusty tools for a few years and had the same results as you. We maybe made a few bucks per item. That all changed when we picked up a bench grinder like the one you just found. We started cleaning up the tools with a brass brush and polishing wheel attachments and they have been flying out the door on eBay ever since! Our income has increased by at least $150/week. More on good weeks. And it only takes a couple of hours and you have 20 shiny vintage or antique tools. I would totally think about setting up that grinder and cleaning some of those tools. You'll make a LOT more money.

[@cynthiamoon372]

ChirumboloFilm ... Good advice on the tools. I also clean mildly rusty tools that way. Heavy rust, I use hydrochloride acid (Muriatic Acid) then coat with thin gun oil. Never found a tool yet that couldn’t be “spiffed up” a bit to make it more salable.

[@ChirumboloFilm]

Hey @@cynthiamoon372! Thanks for the reply! We havn't decided what other ways to clean up tools to try yet. Just a week or 2 until it stays nice outside and we can experiment with ways that need plenty of ventilation. We have some stuff that is so rusted that we pretty much wrote them off as a lost cause. We've tried the soaking in vinegar trick for some of the moderately rusted items, and that works OK. And we want to try the electrolysis bath thing, but the Muriatic Acid method isn't one I've looked into. Is that easy to get at the store or do you have to order it online? I know I could just look it up, but I like talking to people.

[@markgillespie2347]

when you clean out a storage locker you should just leave your camera on the trypod and leave it in one place an then you can show what you have unsead of caring it around.

[@bendermans]

mark Gillespie agreed. He needs to setup a table he can unpack on too.

[@hotboxwheelsmatch3798]

Hi Taco nice unit loads of tools & flee markets stock! Please keep buying the storage units as you show how real & no fancy stuff what you get is what we see!! Like many people we love to see the unboxing part in detail as you do it so we get to see the treasures same time you do! Love watching all your videos whatever you are up to during your day! Thanks for sharing Mick G 🇬🇧

[@paulpeterson7853]

Hey Taco! The brown 'drawers' at 9:30 are older (90's) style military thermal undergarments... they are made from a poly blend... very good base layer, and can go for up to $20/ piece if you find the right buyer. Pick On!

[@judithjanes5738]

PRO-TIP. Taco: Unload from the TOP down! Prevents avalanches!

[@terrinew9474]

Yes, I agree with everyone more of these storage unit videos. You got lots of tools, the wagon is really cute and love the virgin Mary piece. Great video.

[@ESPSJ]

I love old and worn out jackets and such, I'd totally wear some of that stuff once it was clean especially that bomber jacket at 20:59

[@brianpye6793]

I will say this taco your always down to earth about things and enjoy the work you do! you videos have given me the idea to resale stuff never thought I would do it! but it's cool what you do man.

[@xTeddybones]

The cow skull is painted to look like one of Boyd Elder's famous skull paintings - one that was used as the album cover for 'One of These Nights' by The Eagles. May add value. If it was an original Boyd Elder skull then you'd be looking at biiig money!

[@firebird2327]

Awesome video once again Mr.Stacks! God bless you ❤️❤️❤️🎥🎥🎥🌮🌮🌮

[@mikemcgowan9941]

Hey taco. Love ypur videos. At 4:40 that hose can attach to pool filters to drain water out. It's long enough to reach out to the street so you don't make a mess of your yard.

[@kathylecluyse7820]

That was fun! Oh, and the round-bottomed bucket thingy in the beginning looks a lot like those pots they used to hang in an open fireplace and cook stuff in.

[@christinedahlmann4295]

Wash in cold water with a cup or more of vinegar , it will help with the mold and smell. I use vinegar with the essence of the orange peels that I soak for a few weeks. Sure makes my laundry to come clean. Love watching all your videoes. Live in Northern British Columbia Canada.

[@susannegalligan8600]

Great locker, you’ll do very well with contents. Like the fast tempo of your videos. Perfect.

[@ellenjefferies7310]

Yes!!! Those long johns that have the distinctive tag ARE Military issue. That little wagon, even though it's not an antique, is still very desirable, at least it is here in Indiana, AND I always sell weather vanes and lightning rod parts...those sell really well!!!

[@drewpav5253]

Got half a Mary on the half shell, which is in the front yard of every Italian house in NE PA. Great video.

[@melyndazeek7407]

you should come down to south central PA we make and sell concrete statues and we have a big virgin mary and a st. francis too and praying hand almost 200 different statues to choose from

[@ellenmcintyre1247]

I don't think it had the shell

[@drewpav5253]

That's why it was HALF a Mary on the half shell cuz it was missing the shell, or the other half.

[@drewpav5253]

, I left PA after growing up in American Siberia known as Moscow, PA in the North Pocono area. I don't think I would ever go back. Watching the snow in Taco's videos is quite enough.

[@bethmerryfield7186]

Omgosh. In wisconsin, people partially bury claw foot tubs in the yard, then place Mary inside. I call it Our Lady of the Eternal Whirlpool.

[@nancywessel6332]

Wow! What a find! The tall container with a metal rim cover could have held plumbing parts. We used a lot of them when we moved To Iowa from Illinois. My husband worked at a plumbing company and we got them free. Kept several and stored fabric in them. 😊

My idea of sorting all this stuff after getting it home or to warehouse...putting on fave podcast.. cup of coffee..and powering through . Cause this stuff is awesome!! Great vid!!❤❤

[@domenicapaul6847]

You should be able to get the mold out of the clothes by soaking them with vinegar and laundry detergent. 2 cups of vinegar and a cup of detergent. Hunting clothes are expensive.

[@Jules1280]

When you wash those clothes put vinegar in with them to get rid of the mildew smell. It won't take out the mold but it should take care of the smell. Great video!! Cheers!

[@tinapoirier3524]

That locker was a win-win all the way. That concrete Blessed Mother Mary Statue sells for $100 where I live, I know, bcuz I paid that for mine...so please don’t let her go too cheap. All in all, great locker. 👍🏻

[@Shuggysmama]

These storage vlogs are sooo good!

[@ez4prez]

Looks like a barn clean out with the mass of old tools ( some ferrier looking), saddle pad, weather vane part , and heavy rugged clothes. Make sure you keep an eye out for any old sharpening stones among all the old tools. Sharpening stones can go for hundreds $$.

[@bajahipb5846]

Good stuff. I m 74 and a tool nut. I have never seen a copper toolbox in 4 continents. If it is copper it is something special. The two red jack stands look like professional quality heavy duty. If there is a name google it. Could be worth $100 or more.

Maybe non sparking alloy

[@jmcanada7029]

Great video. Regarding the clothes, make sure you don’t put anything in the dryer unless it’s perfectly clean. The dryer sets the stains permanently. Also, I have found that the best stain remover is actually a good quality carpet spot remover. Love the locker videos.🇨🇦

Soak rusty tools in water vinegar salt overnight. Then for 10 minutes in water baking soda (neutralises the vinegar) wipe down dry then spray lightly with wd-40. Makes a $20 bucket worth 50 with minimal effort

[@starlite528]

@9:38 yeah those are Army/military cold weather gear. I was issued those in 2002 in Basic Combat Training. Military tags will almost always have lots of commas and the words will be backwards. They'll also have NSN numbers.

[@lc4dgo]

We also had a cow skull and i set it up outside in a chair then in a tree to take pics of it and then made two paintings of it. Then time passed by and wanted to make another different painting and looked for it in the tree i left it and it was gone no where to be seen.
