For some reason I enjoy your videos. I think its because you are on the pavement on the ground digging for value every day. You also have a running monologue on the items you pickup, that keeps it interesting. Keep going, living the dream.
Phaedra McCloud LoL, I hear you, fellow OCD! Every time Taco throws stuff into his van, I cringe! I tell myself HE’S picking the stuff and putting it into HIS van for HIS show - I’m just here for the entertainment! Then here comes Taco’s next stop, I cringe at the sound of metal crashing onto a box of china, he closes the van door and moves on! Turns out my cringing hasn’t changed anything (yet!) so now I’ll just say, “Keep the videos coming, Taco Stacks, we love you!”
3:29 OMG!!! that table and chairs are outdoors med-century modern (about 60-65 years old)! That would sell for a few hundred here in Australia, can't believe people throw it out!! Just crazy. At 11:27 you leave the rest of that table? OMG even if it is wood, it could be later changed......crying right now can't believe it made scarp :( I would have given you $200 no questions, for the table and chairs ''as is''.All day - any day.
the chairs and table are Woodard wrought iron. I deal in those sets. the table without the glass and with the chairs are an easy$250 to 300 all day long. With the glass 400 to 500. We pick up old patio tables with glass and sell just the glass for people who have broken their glass. Easy 40 to 75 depending on size and shape. Woodard should never be scrapped. Far too valuable. You took the 2 legs and left the rest of table which is now useless. Please research Woodard furniture. Makes my heart ache.
Me and my sons one day watched your videos and they couldn't believe the stuff people throw away. Also the kind of scrap you find when your out garbage picking, their minds were blown away. I told them my dad did this when it wasn't popular to garbage or trash pick....
Dang dude! I bet you don't ever have to work out at the gym! Between walking and loading and unloading what a workout! LOL,makes me tired watching you,lol
The glassware you can look up the identity online.....One looked like a milk glass casserole/bread loaf over ware(fire -king maybe?) camera didnt show markings, check for marking on the bottom! But its a item that is hard to sell on ebay...Alot of relisting....Better to sell at the fleamarket like ya did in your other vid. Same with the Sevres decorative floral bowl! I used to buy & sell antiques on ebay for years but i got tired of them raising the ebay selling fees all the time! If you figure in the ebay closing costs, insertion fees, paypal fees and the shipping material costs....It all adds up! The only person making out is ebay & paypal at the end of the day! If you ever come across anything in antique glass or pottery, hold it up closer to the camera at all angles..Might beable to identify the item alot better!
Yeah! We love the trash picking in those awesome "picking piles"!!!! The angle is a little off on the camera on some though. Still...hats off to you. Grateful for your hard work and efforts!!!!
Some of that stuff you pass on you should think twice especially if it's little dodads. Make up a box of free items bring more customers in at the flea market knowing they can get a little somein' somein' for free. People LOVE free . . . even if it's borderline junk😝
No Idea how you spotted that lol, there were a bunch of people outside and kids running around nothing creeper then a guy in a white van stopping by. But I can pray it didn't have anything in it. :/
I am so happy when you take fans. I have a project called "Fans for Friends" where I gather fans that save them from the dump, clean them up and give them to Grassroots and the Howard County Police Outreach for the Elderly who have broken air conditioners and no fans. Fans can SAVE Lives circulating air, window fans pull how air out and fans for desks cooling at face level. So I hope you might explore spreading the word to all about just how important life savers fans can be. Studies show how crime increases with temperature so do your part in lowering crime in a concrete way Save Fans and get them into your subsidized housing and shelters. Thanks for rescuing Fans for Friends! Judy Goldblum
Judy Goldblum I love this idea and it’s a great thing you’re doing, but most fans put out in the trash are likely too broken to be saved. I recently had to throw out some old table fans that were so far gone that they couldn’t be fixed.
I don't get it why when I click "Thumbs Up", the number stays the same and doesn't go up. All it does is the Thumbs Up symbol gets darker. What's going on?????? Is it working?
When you returned to the big garbage pile and took the cord from that stereo, you missed the speaker cords, the speakers were detachable and they had some cord(comparable in weight with the power cord).
nice pickups.... need to start scrapping with a trailer for you can fit everything lol....Scraplife is dog eat dog in my town...tons of competition!!! I started filming with a chest mount like you do all the time bc I really like that angle.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. Hearing the explanations behind your picking is very educational and entertaining. Also has helped me improve my own picking. Thank you sir!
I started watching your videos 3 months ago. I just watched this video from 2017. Your videos have improved. ;) You take more time, slow down, and explain what you're grabbing. You're one of my favorite channels.
Let me guess you just found two beautiful parlor chairs and its RARE to find the table to match and you took 2 legs and left the table!!!!!!!?? Furniture pieces especially side tables SELL...so it may take a ll time but its worth it at the end and for some items just cleaning them or a lil chalk paint will sell them faster especially when the flea market time is over...I watch you all the time and thanks as it make me think I am out there picking with ya!! I live in upstate NY and I am gonna stop buying and start loading my van this year!
A regular viewer, enjoy watching you get the scrap out goodies. One suggestion, in this video, your camera was tilted too far down, so when you bent over to pick up an item, All I kept seeing was yer feet! Angle up just a bit would be a better view for video, please. After watching it felt like I was straining my neck all the time! Ha ha.
My son and I are going to start doing this. I hate seeing things not being repurposed, donated or recycled. My son will love this. I enjoy your videos. Please take things like coffee mugs, dishes, etc. and send to Goodwiill or a thrift store. You'll get the write off too! Youd be suprised what would sell at the flea market. Just sell them for a quarter. It was a free find so anything made is like free money!
Take the rug to the car was and power wash them. If they are small use the clips for floor mats to hang and spray them there. Only us the soap for a short amount of time. I picked up a lg rug last summer and it was sold by 5pm that day for 75 bucks.
lol, you have so much better trash in u.s.a than we have in England, we cannot put furniture and big items roadside and have to pay separately to move them...im fascinated by what you find
Hello! Is this a once per month bulk waste collection that you get to pick through before the garbage trucks arrive? I am really enjoying hearing about/seeing what you find.
Great video! Oh man those were some good garbage piles. I've passed up on concrete weights before too, but people are always buying them. Those ironing boards make for really good saw horses.
In case you still have the dish you thought was Pyrex....it's a pattern called "Blue Heaven" and was released by brands Marcrest and Royal China (50's-70's). Fire King produced this pattern on the dish you found, in the 1970's. I would be jumping for joy if I found this in a thrift store, let alone in the trash (free!). The Blue Heaven series is very sought after by mid-century collectors! Score. Glad you snagged it!
I enjoy your video too but Q: where from!? What area is this!? I’m from Cleveland Ohio and I like watching stuff like this!! Thanks and ima look at the old one so I can catch on your new ones!
As I've commented in another video, load from the backside of your drivelr's seat,& row by row, with space between. & keep laying things neat. Then pattern will steadily build, and unload freely, and without stress. The pattern of filling will "un-fill" just as neat. (otherwise, you must feel like the most blessed trash picker in the world !)
so happy I stumbled upon your channel. So interesting. I must get back into op shopping (that's what we call thrift shops over here in Australia). Am curious, why do you take the cords?
Hi Taco! I know this is an old video but the angle wasn't great. I felt like I was trying to look up most of the time. I'm happy you're better at filming meow :)
I like your videos - your lucky the flea markets (or car boots sales as we call them here ) are pretty rubbish - even the best of them i think they are a bit better down in England - the terrible Scottish weather doesnt help either
