Will my luck continue with this abandoned storage unit buy? See what it's like buying storage units! #storagewars #abandonedstorageunit #trashtotreasure Follow me on Instagram @paperandmoose
I watch a lot of storage auction channels - Wade's Ventures, Locker Nuts, 2nd Cents. What you have to do is avoid losing money on the so-so units, and then make tons of money on the home runs. The stuff you bought is OK, you'll make a some money. Some of the golf clubs are good, the Odyssey putter and the Ping irons are worth quite a bit - the putter alone is your $75 back The Big Bertha is obsolete and can be tossed or donated. Some fishing reels are very expensive, and the poles look good. Don't worry about the Christmas - that's you hobby. If you want to make money, you have to learn to sell stuff that doesn't interest you personally.
The speakers, wiring and radio shack stuff could be sold. Lots of people looking for replacement components or cords for their favorite existing equipment.
There are stereo cables that sell for thousands of dollars. These aren't them, but you should know such cables exist and check anything that looks unusual.
Renee,looks like you’ll get your money back on those golf clubs. The ping i2 is listing over $150.00 by itself. So far I think the worst storage unit you bought was the one that was full of medical records.
Don't be disouraged, you really did get a nice lot. Perhaps in some videos you could share what some of the items ended up selling for so we can learn a bit from your adventures. On to the next one...
I couldn't help it, but I chuckled when you were getting that green thing out and had your arm wrapped around the fishing poles...I was picturing Lucille Ball caper in the Lucy Show when she worked at the bank. 🤣🤪 And that's totally something I would do! 😂 Callaway clubs are worth $, I think.
Lol, slowly but steadily this channel is changing to "NJ Storage Wars XXL". 😅Christmas, fragile, porcelain sounds like a perfect combination of valuable stuff. Wow, the fishing equipment including the spear should remind you of your childhood, that´s for sure. 😉 The golf set looked like a decent profit, not a bad result for just 75,- bucks. Bummer that the Christmas stuff wasn´t vintage or antique. Anyways, not a bad result at all. Keep it up, Renée, and see you soon in the next storage locker (perhaps) containing grandpas gold coin collection . 😁 Greets from GER, U.
Storage units are almost all that’s available at the moment! Though I tried to bid on a few online & the prices were insane! One unit with maybe 30 clear plastic totes sold for almost $700 😬 The online photographs of the unit were all fuzzy, so you couldn’t really see what was in the totes & only a few things around them like some wooden plant stands, a big bird for a garden, older workout equipment, etc. The description of the unit was “Boxes, stickers, household.” Stickers? Haha, maybe that’s why they bid almost $700! I will be going to the thrift store in the next few days, hopefully we will find something exciting to feature in a video!
I know it’s not quite your jam, Renee, but it will all sell. I bet you will be in profit. Will you be able to retire? Not this time darling. Take care xx
@@PaperandMoose It´s one of the advantages of yt that we know that topics like "storage wars" are nearly always blockbusters. So, you always got some nice little assurance when you are gambling with storage units. And that´s what finally counts if you aren´t a millionaire. 😉
Even when you have a bad storage unit or pallet it's not without its good points. We all can learn from our mistakes so that we are less likely to make bad decisions in the future. Treasure hunting is hard but that's what makes it so exciting when we find the good stuff.
Had to laugh at that box of cords 😂😂. Everybody has one of those! Laughed because my Daughter who is an art major called me just last week asking if I had any she could use for a project that she had to create using different kind of cords! We also picked up extra at a fill a bag sale!!! Can’t wait to see the finished piece of ART!
I love that you take chances. I think this new storage unit is your new Las Vegas 😉 It's so true about the good find, lame find, good find, lame find pattern. Yard sales this year were awful awful awful but I had one sale this year that made up for all the bad ones. I love watching all your adventures and always look forward to what you're up to next.
It’s not your ideal Renee pallets but you’ve definitely got triple or quadruple your investment in the fishing rods and golf clubs. Plus you got a hammock to relax in while you contemplate why people store the weirdest things
I think you made out very well with this unit for 75. One ping club could be worth 800 dollars. The club with the red sock on it has a computer chip in it to measure your swing.
Golf clubs are worth money, Callaway and ping depending on what they are and the fishing equipment could be worth some money don’t give up until you’ve investigated everything
Hi Renee. What happened with this pallet Auction? All I can say is you tried your best. But I think you can get your money back on the fishing rods, and the golf ⛳ clubs. They are an amazing find. Still you didn't look through the whole thing of clothing. And what as bout the other pallet. You can get almost all your money back on the pallet alone too. God Bless you and stay safe this winter Renee. Love you. Mari'a. 👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🍁🍁🍁🍂🍂🍂🤑🤑⛳⛳⛳
Hey Renee - fair to middlin' storage unit but it looks like you will make you money back. 1:13 - it's not a lamp but, like most things, it could be! Probably not it's best life, though. Guessing the baking soda in the hassock was to absorb odors, maybe? I haven't heard the word "hassock" since I lived up north. I don't know if it's worth your time to check, but some of those cords might be valuable to folks who have older electronics with missing cords - I know I do. Sorry the Xmas wasn't vintage - but at least you don't have to ask yourself, "Where am I going to put this in the house." Definitely have been heavy on the storage videos lately but with the excitement of that one, the anticipation of what's in the rest has kept me interested, anyway. Good luck with the stuff & have a great Wednesday afternoon. Next week at this time we'll all be running around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to get ready for Thursday. We have about 25 coming over - but it used to be 50 (kids married or moved away, people passed on). Hope you and all your subscribers are looking forward to a fun and relaxing day.
We've had a good amount of storage auctions in the area, so have to jump on them. Strike while the iron is hot! Come December, who knows what will be available and the weather people are saying we could get at least 3 feet of snow leading up to Christmas. Of course, that's over a month away and things could change by then, but that means the flea markets that are still open will slow down as well. I sold today at the flea market and meant to record but had a good size rush of people when setting up, so had to focus on selling. Then when I have a lull, I have to focus on tidying up my tables so that I can put out more. 25 people coming over?! You'll need a pretty big bird! My family is getting together and I'm responsible for the dinner rolls, so a trip to the grocery store a few days before will be in order. I could attempt to bake my own rolls, but I would be tempting fate relying on my own baking and not having packages of edible rolls to bring. That's the benefit of not being known as a good cook, you get the easy items to bring to family dinners!
I thought so too. The large points at the end... something larger than something used for a Camera. Even the small cheap ones are over $50. Larger ones in the $300-$500 range. Could be high end. Facebook marketplace and see what someone offers. The New Umbrella.. easily $30 as well. Some retail for $80-$90 easily. 1 Fishing pole with reel could be another $30. She won't lose money.
I love the storage pallets, I love the flea markets, and I love the house clean outs! You make things so fun with your great comments…fun and funny sometimes too!! Love your enthusiasm!!🍁🐿🍁
Renee!!! Thanks for taking us along! I appreciate you! So much stuff ! That small tree with lifts was so adorable maybe not an out of Parker but still nice stuff! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!
aww, no gold today 😥.....maybe you should have worn your Elmer Fudd hat for luck? 😏, well Miss Moose, just look on the bright side, at least you don't have to buy baking soda for awhile. ☺...speaking of baking soda..........What did the box of baking soda say when it gets sad? I'm sodapressed.🤣
Do you think of these jokes just off the top of your head or have a really good memory? Haha. That was a good one! I will not be using any of the baking soda found in that cube. Guess they ran out of boxes so stored things in there! At least it wasn't some opened can of vegetables or soup that had been sitting in there for months. Every storage unit has to include some article of food, right?
Hello Renee. It may take some time but I’m sure you’ll get your money back. And if you don’t take a chance you might not find the vintage Christmas or vintage shirts. It’s all a part of the process. I think if you took the Christmas village to Lambertville you could sell it. You should try. Take care. 🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🕵🏼♀️🫖☕️🫖☕️🥰🥰🥰💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Oh rats! I was hoping you would score more of those designer clothes and jewelry. You still have a great attitude, and I hope the fishing rods, etc at least get you your money back. Fingers crossed.😊
Take those clubs and get in on the challenge with Taco and Bro Stacks, hitting golf balls over the pond. 😂 Today was not a big winner but it still made a fun video. ❤🐨
I recently watched your video buying the storage unit with all the jewelry and was so happy for you .I will say you will be chasing that wonderful dream the rest of your career ,and know you will have a blast doing so ,Great luck to you ,God speed girl . I have been a fan since your beginning but was turned off by your love for paper ,I have been a picker for over 45 years and must say now I never miss an episode
Actually I do know where Santa goes in the off season. A couple years ago the house kitty corner from me was for sale. The gentleman that bought it looks just like ol' Saint Nicholas. Every time we see him out someone says "oh there's Santa!"
I was crossing my fingers for you here. I found something today for about 6 dollars and sold for 25 dollars, so that was good. I listed some other good finds, but they haven't sold yet and I don't know why, because they are AMAZING. Earlier this week, a $3.50 item sold for $50, so that was a good find. Thanks for the inspiration. When 7 days go past without a sale, I get disheartened, so I watch your videos to get inspired, so thank you!
I don't know a whole lot about golf clubs, other than what I've learned watching Hairy Tornado, but I think all those clubs are worth a good bit of money. That tripot thing you opened up first looks like the type used for surveying equipment.
You did well. The golf clubs are a very good find. Those clubs aren't cheap! You'll get a few bucks for the fishing stuff plus Bose = $$. All those audio cables are also a good find. All in all, you're in the money several times over.
That one was awful. I was in such shock that I wasn't thinking and I should have went right to the office & told them it was illegal to sell those documents. What's crazy is that in the last few months, I've seen other storage facility have similar type units in their online auctions. Boxes are clearly marked with last name ranges and phrases like "Loans" and "Billing".
The first big metal 3 legged tripod with large points you pulled out of the box looks like something a Surveyer would use to mount his equipment. That scope and measuring device. I'm the Manufacturer name would be stamped on it somewhere. Can't be cheap
FISHING STUFF WORTH A LITTLE GOLF CLUB IF THEY RE HOLLIWAY THEY ARE WORTH MONRY THE COVERS ON THE GOLF HEADS ARE WORTH MONEY SOME CAN BE A PRETTY GOOD PRICE
I wouldn't call it a total loss Rene..🤔🙄 The golf club's can be valuable and the fishing equipment could be worth more than you think..😍😮 Take care..👍💕🔥👊
Taco Stacks did research on the clubs & they aren't too bad, but apparently there is one club from that brand that by itself is worth a couple hundred dollars. It wasn't included in the lot that I got, but at least now I know that Ping Eye is pretty decent for golf clubs!
Good searching!! I was hoping it would have been a giant ceramic Christmas tree, or a couple of vintage tin plate Lionel Hellgate Bridges! Well, at least the contents matched what you are doing...fishing for values! ME NEITHER! The new stuff is j**k! As the late Frank Sinatra sang..."That's Life"! The mini houses are cute, I have 6 of them that I use on my Christmas train layout...I set up a "Kiddie's Park"...as next to the Lionel Trains, the buildings look like a child's amusement play ground. I even have a N gauge train which circles the small village.
I'm sure that your train collection & setup is what many dream of! Years of collecting and perfecting each little piece! Are you venturing to a neighbor's for Thanksgiving or getting together with one of you groups?
I think you are not aware of the price of the fishing gear. I would not take it to flee market. I would find a shop that sells these items and get an estimate. I think you would be surprised. I am sorry about your Christmas items I could tell how happy you would have been
Mixed bag, golf club? I already have one of them. Christmas decorations? I have one of those too. Come to think of it, I have two. And they can only be used once a year. Although the little white bell hangs in the hallway all year round. But fishing rods? Yes, now we're talking. I have a lot of them, but it's never enough. Never enough.
I hope you do some research on the fishing stuff. People will spend some really big dollars on fishing gear and that stuff looks like deep sea equipment meant for really big fish.
‘You’re gonna need a bigger van!’ Promise of Indianapolis closure and a heart attack for the taxidermy man when he sees what you brung him - but no. Harpoons, rods and a Big Bertha fade like the sail of a Great White fading into the murky depths. Can’t win ‘em all. Still , worth the challenge…..
Wondering how much Renee spends taking loads to the dump? It’s time spent going through everything. Still think it’s a low risk high reward when your consistently buying lockers for nominal amounts.
You can't win them all. Do you know how old the person would have to be to have vintage Christmas in storage units. 80's 90's and maybe 100 years old. Which my aunt that just passed away. 1923-2023 .
I’m still working on that. The art pieces were consigned with an auction house & they are including them in their auction next month. I sold some of the 14k gold pieces & sterling as well.
