VHS Recorded TV: In the late 80s/early 90s we lived in Japan. My sister-in-law would send Care Packages to my daughters with popcorn and VHS Recorded TV Shows, since they lacked American Programs, where we lived in a Japanese town. She initially made the recordings with the Commercials edited out, but the kids let her know they really missed seeing the commercials, so they knew what was going on back in the states, so she shifted gears and started including them in.

Storage locker cleanouts are so sad for me. Someone's entire life in a little box that they hoped to get back someday, spent a lot of money maintaining, and then had to abandon. So sad that this may be the archeological remains of a life that went off the rails.

Makes me sad also. My son passed away in 2020. I was paying on his unit and mine. I had some employees that worked with me as it got expensive. Then came a horrible man that treated me like he was a bill collector and not a nice one. When I went to pay it he had already took it off line and sold it the next day. It was like loosing my son all over again. I just was not ready to go through it yet and now this part of his life is gone to me. The buyer would not talk to me either!

I would have done a double check on those milk crates. The older plastic/fiberglass ones with the metal rim around the top can bring some good money. More if they have advertising for dairies or stores that are not in business anymore. I made enough at auction to cover most of my bills on just a bunch of square milk crates that were still in good shape.

Pretty low value in terms of time invested to sell, around here at least. Milk crates look to be selling for about $5 a pop, these looked to be almost all non-collectable crates as well, not much dairy farm history around this part of the world. That said a lot of 20-30 listed for $100 might move and be worth the bother, buts its borderline. Pretty sure the video poster places a reasonable high value on his time though, as far as I can tell he is relatively successful in his business.

Anything that’s useable and not contaminated, don’t take it to the dump- post it online for free and have somebody come pick it up. Make it a priority to never take things to the dump. Things you think are garbage maybe be things somebody else can make use of in ways you never thought possible (there are people who would love to take the old VHS tapes even just to see what’s actually on them, or they can be used for art projects, etc.).

I remember when my ex was a nurse in the Navy reserves. We had been fighting so much that we split the bills and she had her own bedroom for the last 2 years. We had a 10 year old. Suddenly she told me she was leaving and never coming back; we divided all our stuff verbally and that was that -- she left. I was a single dad. I could not afford to stay there alone so I moved, in the process I got a storage room and put all her stuff in there. My new rent bill with my apartment and her storage fit my budget better than a bigger apartment. I found out years later that she had been activated and went to IRAQ. She never communicated that to me, all I knew was that she had moved "back east." I had decided it was best not to get rid of ANYTHING that was hers. In the end she did 2 [15 month?] tours in Iraq. But then she moved to Chicago and lived there with a friend for a while. So in all it was about 4 - 5 years that I paid $80 a month. Now that is not precise, but I spent about $4-5000 to store about $4-500 worth of stuff. When she did return for her stuff we put the whole unit in her name, she took a few things that she wanted, went back to Chicago, and never made a single payment, the unit was soon repo'd. -- It all made perfect financial sense in that situation, can you imagine if I didn't have any of her stuff??? There would have been hell to pay.

Antique Cabbage Cutter: many of those old mandolins style cutters had a second part, which looked like a 4-sided frame that the cabbage head sat in, to keep your fingers away from the blades. It fit in side slots on the large board, to slide back and forth smoothly. Once separated from the cutter, the smaller part doesn’t look like much of anything, so it often gets tossed away.

It is really sad and the way things get packed can give a clue to a possible situation of just having to move or being evicted.

The longer you store things, the more they charge! In the end you usually spend far more on rent than the items are worth, or could make from them. If you don't want it in your house right now you are probably not going to want it in the future either-or actually sell it. Don't do it except as a short term emergency because of a trip or move or renovation or death.

Trash runs: Options where u live may vary, but here in Washington State, we have 4 basic trash options: curbside pick-up, small loads to transfer stations, dumpster rental and paying by the Ton after driving over a scale and paying per pound. Dumpster Rentals are great for house clearing, but are impractical for storage units. Curbside is too expensive for a any large volume. Taking it by the pick-up, when there is a lot of trash in a unit can increase costs and consume extra time, depending on fees and driving distance. When working locally, I favor driving over the scale and paying by the pound when clearing most large units (or multiple units). Here, we pay in the $30-40 per ton range and they take mattresses as general garbage. Mattresses, like large furniture, can be problematic for folks that clear units regularly. The scales are large enough that a truck, with trailer can be weighed together and the trailer makes it easier to deal with couches and mattresses. Additionally, since the place with the scale is a larger facility, they also take recycling (cardboard, glass, plastic and metal) free and are a drop off point for e-waste. All of which turn up in storage units and disposing of them for no cost, means more profit.

My significant other of 8 years has a parent that is wheel chair bound. He has a pad in the same shape. It's kinda molded to him and again very expensive so he still uses it. Each of his chairs has a pad that stays with it because he likes how it is with each chair.

That big hairy puppet, I had one just like it. My hubby won it at a carnival in the late 80's, maybe 88 or 89. Hope that helps you put a more accurate date to it. No, it's not meant to be Star Wars related, not Chewbacca. It originally had some accessories...a black straw cowboy hat, blues brothers style sunglasses, and a red bandana around the neck. There was also a stick attached to one hand. You are meant to wrap the legs around your waist and fasten the Velcro on the feet together, then throw one arm around your neck, stick your hand inside to operate the mouth, and use the stick to operate the puppet's free hand. (it went great with my husband's Halloween costume, for almost 10 years.)

They all can't be home runs Alex, as long as you make your money back. The locker didn't cost an arm and a leg, just nearly a finger...sry, bad joke, hoping you're ok. You should have had gloves on. Keep the great vids coming.

It sure looked like a lot of stuff to go through!! You should have a look at how Jack from 'Locker nuts' sorts out the storage units he purchases - he is organized with empty totes to divide the good items from the not so good, the items that need to go to the dump or charity etc.... makes it so much easier?

Don't feel bad, Alex. I sliced the corner of my thumb off, _TWICE_ , while using a mandoline slicer without the part that holds the food for you. 🙄 Both times were on holidays when we had guests over 😄. Luckily I didn't bleed into the food or serve anyone a roasted Corner Of Thumb.👍👀

I'm pretty nervous for you the way you're digging in the bin right now 20 min in. There could be a knife with the blade side up, Alex. Wait until you have the time to take everything out one-by-one and move it to a different location so that you can see what it is before you pick it up. 🙂 Edit to add: WHOA did I just have a premonition? 22:39 Alex shows us his band aid.

I have been enjoying you videos for quite a while. Just so you know, Goodwill is not a charity. It is a multimillion dollar business. People give it merchandise for free and Goodwill turns around and sells it for profit. There is no training except through employment. People are trained to do what Goodwill needs from them. What a Win-Win-Win situation.
