I think it's great that y'all give back personal items that you could throw away. It's bad enough that people go through hard times, but it always makes me smile when i hear the buyers say, "We'll give these back to the owner." It shows respect for the persons loss. Thank you for all you do! Good luck in all of your endeavors! ❤
It really is awesome! I do it to! I could not live with myself knowing that I took someone’s personal belongings and didn’t try to give them back. So many facilities have told me that most people who win these auctions do not return the items and 4 out of the 5 facilities that I just bought from said they don’t even want you to leave their personal belongings behind with them, because they have been trying for months to get in contact with the owners. I still return them because I do not want that to fall back on me but it is just sad especially when someone’s whole life is in a unit.

This has made up my mind for me. My husband died three years ago. We we married 58+ years and he spent 12+ years in the Navy. Everywhere he went he bought souvenirs and I have almost everything. I was a serious sewer and crafter to so I have a storage unit that I’m paying $155 months and had another that was $65. Gradually we emptied the smaller one. Sold some things but not enough to make a big dent. We, my daughter and I had an all day yard sale and made $200. I’d rather donate it that for people to talk me down to $1 or$2 on my nice things. I will start loading up my van tomorrow.
I'm in an apt.so I have to sell things at a local flea market. People annoy me when they want something for $.50 - $1.00. I feel the same way about donating and not dealing with cheap people. I used to tell them for what they offered me, I may as well take it home.
Its got to be hard to get rid of the life long collections, but I agree that donating it will give someone more appreciation than the hours you spent rummage selling for $200. I ran 2 rummage sales in my life, and no more. Not worth the loss of the days. Never forget, keep the memories, not all the things. Gotta keep a few momentos though. 😊
In the future, take it to a local auction and have them sell it for you. Some auction companies will come to your location and give a cash offer then haul it off for you and sell it for themselves. Yard sales will never give you market price for anything and should be the last effort to sell before going to the dump or donation. If you can take a tax write off then donation would be the best way to go.
There are a great many crafters I've seen on RU-vid who create some OUTSTANDING pieces of art from broken glass. The same with old costume jewelry. Also, the beads you thought were wood are actually made from paper. They are made from various sizes of paper in triangular shapes. God Bless you for returning the items you did. You all have huge hearts. ❤
Our next door neighbor when I was a kid gave me a bunch of old Christmas cards, an aluminum tree, and lots of decorations and lights. He had seen we hadn't put up a Christmas tree. My dad was dug Graves and it was winter tome and he had very little work. We had to use tape to fix the branches. My mom was so mad at me , for a long time. So I took the tree and decorations to school to share with my classmates.
@@jeanniescrochetcreations4978 I’m not trying to be funny or anything but you said that your father dug graves for a living and during the winter he had very little work but when people died in the winter who dug their grave🙏🏽
I am finally catching up after discovering you. Who thought watching someone unpack their storage units would be so entertaining. I love your care and kindness for the owners and their personal stuff.
I bet those rocks are for tumbling. Old dolls are always collectible. You need gloves, anywhere in there is great habitat for the brown recluse spider.
Wade, you’re a wonderful man. When you said you are giving the lady her stuff back you milted my heart. God BlessYou. All of the broken glass is perfect for crafters.

I can relate to the lady who owned this unit, as I do with so many who lose their units. Even with the yard/estate sales of older people. Sometimes. It makes me cry.
That aluminum tree is highly sought after, including myself. Although, I could never afford it now. You could possibly get well over $1,000 for it never being opened. Loved watching, 1st time.
Save the paper! I’ve been an ephemera collector for years, and the market is great for the wallpaper, greeting cards, etc. Also, sell the mosaic in lots. Mixed media artists will buy it.
Being an avid crafter myself, I have heaps of boxes filled with similar crafting materials as this lady. I see them as treasure. Mosaics and rocks are two of my main crafts. I would find it very hard to be separated from my crafting boxes. I love that you will give her back her special treasure. It will mean so very much to her. Good on you! 🤗
I appreciate your kindness and respect for your returning family heirlooms. I’m sure she didn’t know the locker was for auction except on a late notice from family, she would have retrieved it before the sale……Communication is key for family. Especially with elderly members.
Cool haul!!! Glad you helped the Grandma out. ❤ Not all glass is crystal. Not all etched glass is crystal. Yes..I knew Avon made jewelry. They also make clothing, footwear, bags, kitchen items.
I just watched a video where a crafter used the corrugated cardboard in her crafts to make cool texture on her cardboard made boxes. (She took them apart and then reattached the sides and bottoms with tape.) She cut the corrugated cardboard in small squares and turned every other one to make a basket weave look. Then she painted them. They were awesome! This lady was a true craftswoman. I keep my broken plates and glassware too. Hopefully, I'll do some mosaics this summer.
Boy howdy! She was an overall crafter! Have a friend like that . I would save all my Christmas cards for her to repurpose for other hand made cards. The tins would be use to make bases for flower arrangements to animals or dolls. You would never throw away anything that could be used to make creations out of!
I think it so great giving all those things back to the family. A very nice gesture. You sure should get your At A Boy ! Thanks Wade and Ashly. Have a good evening.. 🙏🏻
They could put the jewelry in those plastic boxes with separators and sell them in lots too. I would have LOVED that unit! My craft room looks like that... bind full of craft supplies and no time to do them.
Wade! I absolutely love how positive and optimistic that you are! It started out not looking so good but, you were never disappointed!! Love you guys! Been watching you guys for years! ❤❤
Thanks! Also the aluminum Xmas trees are highly sought after! They usually have a separate light that rotates that you plug in behind it!! I wish I could find one!! Score!!!❤❤❤❤❤
OK this is the first time I've commented. You both are so fun! So sorry to hear about your grandfather Wade. Keep up the filming. Your kids must be great because you two are great!
I am addicted to your videos! I am a junk journal creator. Some of the items that come up just make me crazy!! Old documents especially! Invoices, letters, voided checks, any vintage paperwork and even empty envelopes! paper paper paper! I am always thrifting and can never find those type items! I am not local, but would be interested if you have anything like this.
Great show! Commenting on hot shot tiny bottles. Back in the early 60’s I worked in a restaurant in Muskoka, Ontario, Canada. An order for a coffee came with that tiny little bottle of cream On the side for your coffee. Each bottle had a flat round cardboard lid set into the top of the bottle. Maybe about 20 ml. Today the term hot shot is mostly connected with liqueur, bars and drinks. I was about 12 yrs old , worked after school alongside my mom. I’m 71.
I'm still watching your video from three years ago! I think it's wonderful that you give some items back. I have been doing genealogy research since 2002, and there are many families who would pay a reasonable price for family Bibles with family information in them. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊
The small crystal vase looking you thought were candle holder are actual toothpic holders. My parents were avid antique collectors.My mom had a whole collection of them which I inherited. I have enjoyed watching your utube pieces, I many of the pieces you show. Love watching them. Looking forward to seeing more.
Hes actually pretty gentle. He bought this, he's kind enough to return items that are of personal value. You're just trying to find something to complain about.
Nana? Stuff from days long past of someone else's life just entered his but stuff is stuff she's getting back what truly matters to her 🤐 He's giving her back her family heirlooms. To be honest not only does he not have to give anything back or sell either it's become part of his life now and belongs to him. He only has so long to empty 5 storage units or did you not hear him say that?🤷🏻
Just an FYI for your future finds like this crafting stuff! Paper crafting is at an all time high. Junk Journaling is super hot! So old bills, receipt’s, old photos, old books! Hot hot hot! Just google Junk Journaling! You also shouldn’t have trouble selling off the old broken dishes! People are making Jewellery too from porcelain, pottery, and ceramics! Sell it all!!
Hey guys I just started watching y’all, I retired from medical where I took care of dementia patients. The last lady I took care of I actually moved in with the last 7 years of her life bc her family couldn’t & they paid me well. They asked me in that time to go through her home and clean out closets, drawers etc.. she collected plastic bags, cardboard, boxes, cards, letters, empty containers, empty bottles, bottle caps, plastic lids, etc. etc. etc. it was part of her disease. So that may be part of what you’re finding in her storage unit.they are sort of hoarders in a way! her family could not believe what I found & she was not a crafter. She’s gone now, 98 years old, such a delightful lady! She also had beautiful things as well. I am a crafter and I do have a Mary Englebred print in my craft room lol Love your videos keep it up!!
This woman wasn't a hoarder of things. She was an artist. Hoarders don't label boxes "mosaics" and she had too much jewelry beads and chains and clasps to just collect stuff. She actually made things in my opinion.
Ask Dr. LORI , she is a doctor for knowing all these items ; that’s so very nice of you guys to give it back what she wants to keep, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hull is a very well known vintage brand that made a lot of decorative dish ware that's very collectible. There's also a popular brand called Hall that made similar items to Hull and then there's also the Haeger brand that you'll come across a lot when looking at mid-century vintage dish ware and decorative items. That one amber dish was likely Fenton, but you have to check. 👍😊
Alot of the treasures you found you should put in an auction you have a great deal of money there anything occupied Germany is worth quite a bit. You are so very nice giving the lady the few things she wanted you will be blessed.
I would love to try that at least once in my life im 73 in April. My husband says other peop.es junk isn't worth the time , expense or effort. I think he's wrong. I love that you return personal stuff. Good luck with your units.
I am glad you have a heart and consider the family that lost the unit. I have seen you return a Veterans Death Flag and Uniform. The treadle sewing machine and cradle, things like that. It gives me hope for the future when I see that people like you still. live. Now-A-Days, people think only about themselves, and of course, "the almighty buck". Thanks So Very Much. Keep up the Great work and God Bless you and your team.
I see so many items that bring back child hood memories as a child of the 70's love seeing all the old things. Dolls with cloth bodies are worth some money, I just learned that as well , thanks for sharing yalls adventures
I love how you are not greedy and you always think of the family that lost their unit, then give back their personal items. That was a great unit, a lot of crafting items too. The tinsel Christmas tree is worth some good money, and if you find the color wheel for it, it is worth even more money. Ask Grandma V. about it, she will definitely know what it is. . It was funny when Ashley opened that box with the Mickey and Minnie in it and when you asked what did you find, she innocently says, nothing. Lol
The black necklace, right after the dolls, was a Kakui nut lei representing the Island of Maui ! Very special,since it was in a box from the seventies you can be pretty sure. It is authentic!😊
Great Video and great heart giving her the items that are dear to her heart back to her 🙏 the Omega watch looks like a 36 jewel Omega Electra used/pre-owned about $350 the dolls if you google lens them there are some that look just like them $200 and up
Oh my God, I knew the creator of the bunking's. She was a lovely person/ soul, as she got older and she loved a tipple for medicinal purposes (of course) so she could be cantankerous at times, but all the kid's loved her dearly and as they become older they would still go and be with her and their children. She lived in Wales UK. I stayed with her for around a year and a half. She even made my eldest son who was around 2yrs a personal little book story just for him,I still have it,she was a very good drawer. Dear Tessa,may you R.I.P. 🤗😘💖🦋💖🇬🇧
Wow you found a Thomasville furniture piece! What a find. That is some sturdy good furniture. I hate I gave away my moms dining room set from Thomasville. I was young! Great video thank you!
That Indies platter I saw for $199, Nice! The Royal Dalton Bunnykins i saw anywhere from $45 to $85 average. The aluminum xmas tree varied from $150-$800! Original packaging always increases value, awesome collections! All the China is valuable. Love the silver/metal platters too. The beautiful curio cabinet, 1970's Thomasville, exact cabinet for sale at $1200. Still a great piece. Didn't look like much at the beginning, but turned out great!
I just subscribed because you are giving the lady the sewing machine that has been in her family for generations. You won my heart and I wont to see more of your videos. (This is just my second one and I have only seen 5 minutes of it.)
I have a wood high chair as well that we used for my brother and every kid after him, at my grandparents house. He was born 1977. Love all the craft supplies!
Wade, love yours and Ashley's channel, you do find good units! Love watching that you are a friendly family oriented channel. Love Grammas channel too, she's funny and sweet.
Those little white and blue bottles you thought were perfume are actually snuff bottles and can bring a good price. And the pastel Hull pottery vases can be quite collectible. The crystal is cut crystal and can be sharp, pressed glass is not sharp. Cut crystal is worth more because all the detailing is cut by hand. And the biggest score is that aluminum Christmas tree in the box. You could buy a color wheel and place under the tree for different colors. Great score.
