Elderly Woman dies after paying on Abandoned Storage Unit for YEARS! ~ Dirty, dusty Locker gamble? 

I got so much anxiety when he was going through everything. He was rough with handling. When he slammed that vintage cooler lid, I for real gasped lol

Perhaps those things were her favorite so she makes sure everything is preserved we'll without damaging, so sad may her soul rest in peace

This is so sad how you mistreated this woman's life collections. Just a little respect if you are going to film the process.

She lived through the depression and WW II. So saving those boxes is not out of the ordinary

When someone says "elderly person" I always have to wonder exactly what they mean. Now that I'm 62, elderly to me is someone in their 80s and 90s LOL

What’s sad is how he is rummaging through those artifacts.

I have never watched the show, Storage Wars, but I happened upon this video, which is probably a good representation of that show. I understand that the people who had the storage units have lost them for whatever reason and the units must be emptied to be rented once more, but while watching this I was just incredibly saddened that this woman's things were just cast aside for just monetary value. Im sorry, but this was this woman's life or at least a portion of it and should be held with some respect!

Snatching at the remains of the deceased's life for coin - I don't think this vulture is aware of how crass his scavenging comes across.

This was this poor lady's life.

That toy doctor kit, Sucrets tin and Prang watercolor box threw me right back to childhood! I know people are saying how ridiculous it is that people leave all this stuff behind, and I get it, but at the same time if there weren't people out there who squirrel things away for decades there would be far fewer antiques and vintage items out there. They've preserved a tiny piece of history for future generations to appreciate and love.

Those things don't look as if they've been in storage very long. I have several boxes belonging to my own grandparents of documents that have have been stored for over 50 years. Many of the items are over 100 years old. Be careful when opening things. Some have been stored in humid environments for a long time. Take it outside and wear a N-95 respirator while going through! Fungal pneumonia sucks. Be careful!

Had to laugh…my mum and dad called their cutlery - the silver but it was regular stainless steel 🤣

That is just the saddest thing ever!

"These are good boxes" turns box over and there's a $.99 sticker! LOL

What were the dates on the newspapers used to wrap everything?

What’s so sad!? He’s rummaging through everything…ok, he bought the unit. But this was someone's life. I’m glad he’s coming up empty on the jewellery boxes. Sad… I’m watching and hoping he drops something…now that will be entertaining 🤣

You need to be careful when opening boxes like with the mini cars so not to damage or crease the boxes or it brings down the collector value. Sad this lady died and her heirs missed out on the inheritance. The loud scratching sounds gave me shivers like nails on a chalk board.

I know that if it wasn't him it would be someone else, but this is remeniscent of the scene from "A Christmas Carol" where the people brought items from Scrooge's house pilfered after his death. You never know what a person's treasure is until after they pass away.

She was a crafter and used all the mini objects in her crafting. She also collected jewelry boxes and plates. She possibly passed away and her family put her stuff in storage.

As someone who is sick and tired of finding coolers (just went through a unit that had over a dozen hidden throughout it)... that is an awesome cooler!

So many wonderful finds!!! I too like how organized they were and all the notes on boxes!!!

I don't get the whole storage unit thing. If I got so much sh in my house that I need to rent another house, that's a problem

My guess is that she had these items placed in a storage unit when she was put into the retirement home.

Jewelry was put in a bank vault then given to grandkids. Good jewelry is never put in a storage locker! He is young and doesn’t know what older people do. Th little boxes are of value. Some may be from Tiffany and CO. The Egyotian box was probably a trip the lady took to see Egypt Lots of interesting stories with the little boxes. Interesting genealogy history attached to it all. Pat in Colorado

All the beautiful things she collected during her life from the 30's to the 50's. The Spoder's dishes I would like to buy them.😄

It hurts how rough you are with someone's precious items. Surprised you didn't break half those plates. Have some respect.

Yeah and the money she spent on storage probably cost more than her valuables…

That ‘Little Red Spinning Wheel’ is very sought after in the fiber arts community.

Those ‘rocks’ are often raw and basic gemstones. He’s clueless as to what he’s looking up. Pat in Colorado

I am so sad: I do not see MONEY mate !!! I see a person who bought all these articles because it brought her pleasure.

My eyes keep being drawn to those comforters!!! They were made so much better back in the day!! And if they're hand made..... Well, then I can't afford them!! LOL

Most of these units are from people who die . My sister just passed of a heart attack she has stored all her stuff from 60 years in LA . She went to Colorado to get away from covid.. My family is disabled so unable to go and get her stuff.. This makes me sick to see dead peoples stuff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have a good weekend, Rob and Jeff.Glad you found such a profitable Locker

Nice to know someone else will understand its value, buy it for less, and appreciate it!! And you are making a living to boot! Cannot go wrong. I keep telling hubby that if I had it to do over again, this is exactly what I would do for a living. Thay lady reflects the kind of person I would love to have known.

Jeremy would love the box of rocks and shells!

There were some good finds (Spode). Part of me wonders why they were being stored instead of being used? My grandmother had a Beautiful set of China gifted to her. She used it only on Holidays when I was growing up. I took it after she passed away & we use it 2 - 3X per week. I feel items like that should be used/enjoyed, not tucked away & used only on certain days. Who/what's more special than you & your immediate family? Anyway, just my opinion🙂.

I love how you go through items faster than most but also show all.

Hes should try being a bit more gentle with the items if he doesnt was any them scratched up or broken before sale

The cooler is awesome 👌 He didn't say anything about the age of the cooler. When was the last time you bought a cooler, with a tray, ice pick and bottle opener and instructions under the lid?

Those little inlaid boxes are lovely! I have a couple and I think they are for playing cards, but I put my cufflink collection in one of them.

Careful with the Spode plates....I have seen some Meissen Spode that was over $2,000 each

Dates in newspapers interest me also! 1929, 30, 40s?? Pat in Colorado

Somebody wrapped and packaged her treasures carefully. As you go through everything please be more careful and rewrap the plates, etc. as you look at them..

Who keeps empty jewellery boxes in a storage unit? An old lady witha wicked sense of humour …..

I would love to watch one of those reels. You should have one day a week with one of them, history is cool.

This video was extremely disturbing to me. I paid on a storage unit for 17 years and fell behind a few months when my mother passed away. Unbeknownst to me, the storage unit, located in Missouri, must have done something similar to what you got. I had moved to Texas to live with my mother after my grandmother passed. My unit had all the china from my grandmother, all my sterling silver, my vinyl albums, my books, letters from my favorite grandmother, rugs, tiffany lamp, antiques, books, linens, my life's photos and concert albums, everything that meant something to me that I hadn't sold or given away when I left CA. As hard as I tried I got no resolution from the storage company (they never notified me of what they were going to do). I found out one day when I saw a package on my front step that contained a quilt my great-grandmother had made and my wedding album stuffed inside (I'm divorced now) and a brief note saying that I might want the items. I will always carry a wound in my heart from losing my life's possessions in such a treacherous and malicious way.

Yeah, sad that she died. As I look at this it feels like he's dishonoring her memory the way he handles her past property. I can't watch this video any longer.....

WOW, what an assortment of things 👏

Spode China is loved in Britain and 🇨🇦. Also the blue glass horse l think is Fenton. Collectors of glass like Fenton since the value is rising with the company closing. Don’t break it. Great collection.

Really happy for you Rob 👍

Love this locker...mt boxes, rugs, playes...wooooo...I could have a gield day! 😋

My ocd is off the chain..watching him touch someones old, dirty stuff and not wearing gloves!🤤

Glad you got that one so I can see what was in it. I was going to be in on that one but gambled on another one .

A lifetime of memories.. worth nothing to anybody.

Wow some nice stuff Rob. Stay safe hugs

This was some persons treasures! Please have a little compassion. All you can do is rip through and yell money. Yes it's a good find. Would you want this to happen to your moms things or yours?

Some good finds always enjoy the unboxings please share the rest of the unboxing I just found out I have phenmonia in both lungs and fluid behind both ears I go back Monday incase I need to be hospitalized so I do enjoy watching thank you for sharing take care God bless you and your family 🙏🙏

I just wanted to see the rugs!

My guess is that the lady was a teacher...no teacher of that generation would throw out a nice little box that could be useful in a classroom/turned into something else....

Some lovely boxes there.

One thing is that everything is so old they are collectable and vintage now. Buzz words.

Looking forward to seeing more of you I watch a few others and you sir are one of the better ones.

Did she not have family, if she has a family or close friends where is their heart? I am an elderly lady and this makes me sad . Not to be mean but I hope you do not find much of value.you can tell by the way it is packed that it meant a lot to her.

Love to watch you. Thank you

I love these shows on TV and didn't realize it was on YT. Nice. I can't wait to watch some more.

Rob flowers for my wife they never die, just like your love , Awww made me miss my Deceased Husband so much I'm crying. And the cooler I remember my Parents had it in the 60's. Great unit. You did well.💜🤗🥰

Awesome Unit.

Those plates are worth money. The red pattern is worth more than the blue. Have them appraised

He did not act like he appreciated any of the items in the entire unit. I hope they weren’t turning over in their graves. I wouldn’t buy a single item from this man.

The horse box is VERY GOOD MONEY.

I feel for the lady, my mother just passed in April- and I've got so much stuff to go through It's overwhelming sometimes. Makes one think of just letting everything go. And sad all at the same time, to think that so much of it will just go to waste! It's astounding how much can be accumulated over a 67 yr span of an entire family in one home! !

Guess the sea shells can give to Jeremy to take down to Florida for his shells tree. Nice storage locker you got to make a good profit.

Just found your channel and subcribed keep up the great work

Gotten stuff at auctions that made me feel all kind of sentimental and made me hang on to a piece here and there due to it made me feel for the person like they must have loved this so maybe I better keep it that kind of thing it was hard sometimes

Old yearbooks sometimes have famous people in them, you have to look carefully.

🌸 I got quite perturbed at a lot of the comments I read here. First of all, I didn't think you were "rough" with the items. For whatever reason the stuff was put in a storage unit and then the rent, over time, was not paid. Rob has a business - buying storage units, going through boxes and boxes (some riddled with mouse 💩), sometimes finding treasures and sometimes not. It's a JOB! He auctions off what he can and that is his living. It isn't his fault that the family doesn't have these treasures. IF there was a family left - SHAME ON THEM!!! Rob shows compassion, in my eyes, but still, he has absolutely no connection/sentimental value to these things as I do with the many items that belonged to my mom and dad. The depression generation bought stuff, stored stuff, and cherished stuff and hoped (counted on) their children treasuring all their stuff one day. Those children grow up, get married, have kids and houses full of their own stuff. Then mom and dad are gone (be it physically or mentally) and those houses have to be emptied. It's mind boggling that Rob gets the blame for not "treasuring" someone else's family treasures as a family member should. Thanks for showing what you do, Rob!

I noticed some of the boxes had receipts in. that would tell you what came in them. Good luck.

The instruction label on the lid of the cooler is what is going to make it worth more. The plates as a full collection would be very valuable too. Have to get it up in front of collectors. The Dinkies car boxes are worth a fortune!! Don’t tear the boxes!!! Some of the Dinkies cars with boxes are worth $500!! EACH! They are super collectible.

The Andria set is really nice it's my favorite. 💜

I believe you have some nice things in the box with the horses. Lots of surprises in that storage locker.

Pine-cones are very popular for crafting these days. Worth money if you have enough. Or spray them with different coloured glitter & tie them in bunches with ribbon & sell them as christmas decor.

Nice catch Rob

I am glad you made your money back and more.

The cooler is super cool!

I'm pretty sure the speakers with the reel to reel attach to it so it can be carried as one piece like a suitcase.

Awe, how sad. 😪😭

my treasured brooches of 60 years was just stolen from me. What IS it with people these days? I hope they remember they are thieves every time they look at them or if sharing that they are a liar and thief.

Treasures to her.

The perfume and empty boxes probably are empty because her collection may have been in her home when she passed away. Those are usually sold through diffetent agencies. You should find out what happened to the stuff in her house,and I bet that you could match up what goes in the boxes. My mother had a collection ofperfume bottles and carryalls from the 20s and the 30s., She kept the empty boxes in the shed out in the back yard, she did not have room for all of them in the house. We still have the collection and we have been trying to find a home for all of it but she collected for years so there is a lot of it.

Wow....I wish I would get that lucky..

I think she was a big collector of jewelry boxes and China.

This cooler is at least 60 years if not older. What a find. I'm also guessing it's made of aluminum.

Hi, I love watching your videos very exciting. Robert can you please give me the right direction to learn how to buy online auctions as yourself. Thanks Ty

I dont think he has a clue how much some of those items are worth

Pine-cones & stones might have been for crafting.

I hope at the end and the last box, will say, Ha ha ha, got you!

Since some of those boxes and totes have no rhythm rhyme to them. I'm wondering if she went to some auctions and just packed it up in the storage building. Planning on having her own auction.

You sure put a lot of effort into trying to make a bunch of trash seem exciting. Heading back over to Locker Nuts.
