When a person dies and their stuff need to be moved out, their kids put them in storage intending to come back and never do! So that’s the reason why crap is stored… most of the time.
And sometimes people have to leave their home quickly, maybe evicted, & have nowhere else to put their stuff so opt for a unit, then can’t afford to pay for it. Kind of sad if you think about it.
Those are the OK units but the best units are the ones the grandparents store all there life long collectibles after they down sized, they pass away and the kids don't know about the unit or don't bother paying what's owed to go through it . Certain units make me sad but that's the cycle of life
Very true, some clothing will surprise you how much it can sell for and you can lot it up. FYI: take all your metal to the scrap yard and get paid for it. Never toss the metal kitchen stuff out.
I know this feeling when you buy something online as a non-smoker and it smells heavy like old cigarette smoke when you get it. Here in Germany a lot of people smoke and it's quite impossible to buy something used/second hand like couches, clothes, pillows, plushes, books... on any reseller platform without specifically asking. Some sellers will lie to you, or say it won't smell like smoke, but if they are heavy smokers they get "blind" for the smell. Some even get offended about me asking, because they feel insulted when I won't buy their stuff, because it's smelly. They take it personally.
@@HairyTornadocry about it. U think everything that’s donated comes from a non smoking home?? Most donation places have washer my god you are weird. Over dramatic bible thumpers
You have Cabbage Patch Kids and My Child dolls! Loved them both. I still have my My Child doll and I 46, but that could be because I lost all the rest of my dolls to a flood long ago in my parent's basement. They are definitely vintage and if you have their original clothes could get you over $100, otherwise closer to $30. They were so special back in the mid 1980's because their bodies were made of soft cloth and you could design them to have your hair, eyes, and skin color. :)
I immediately recognized those My Child dolls too. I still have two of them. It was one of those things that I begged my parents for so when I finally got them they were cherished.
As someone who does this for a living this is a pretty typical storage unit. They get much worse than this. At least this was organized, not full of mouse poops, dirt and dust, etc.
There’s odor removal stuff you can buy to remove smoke smell. The box of thread is worth way more than $1 … I got one that size for $30 at an estate sale!
That Magnalite IS sweet tho! Try putting an open box of baking soda inside the handbag when you air it out. It will absorb a lot of the odor. On a scale of 1-100 I give Mose a 125. Love to Mose!
You missed an opportunity... that was a Mary Poppins bag and you could have done the illusion of pulling stuff out of it that was bigger than the bag. Would have been so funny
My husband councils people with financial struggles and one of the first things he asks is “how many storage units do you have”. It’s SHOCKING how many pay far more each month than what the items are even worth.
I loved this video so much. I hope you can do more storage units. There is an excitement side to this and I enjoyed every box opening. I know you would’ve hoped for a financial gain but this was great for us viewers. Real life. Real people and very interesting. Better than that staged storage show on TV. 100% real. Regarding the lady above with her nastiness I also enjoyed the commentary. Again real reactions are the best. Thank you J & H!!
Josh and Hayley!!! Thanks for taking us along for the storage unit clean out. I am bummed you didn't keep that cool looking bag , but that's just me . Mose is the best new goods inspector. I appreciate you both so much! Stay safe stay great and keep up the good work!!!!
Josh and Haley, Ozium is a product that neutralizes cigarette smoke. I have never smoked, but I grew up in second-hand smoke. There are many neutralizers on the market, however, I am only familiar with Ozium, which is not a room freshener. The Magnalite roaster is a great find!❤
I had a co-worker who complained about the cigarettes smokers I'd just shut the door & take the $250 loss instead of complaining. I operate a storage facility at lot of people lose the storage spaces due to life happens it could be job loss, death, divorce & many other issues most people don't want to get rid of the personal property papers ECT. It's a good ideal out of respect to return to the facility the personal papers to the office. Good luck finding treasures.
A good wash with 1-2 cups of white vinegar in combination with your regular detergent will get out bad odours (like cigarettes) out of fabric. I would personally give it a second wash without the vinegar, but that is optional. Just in case you found anything worth keeping.
Oh hey, you may know this trick but I had a nice Victoria secret purse that reeked of cigarette smoke, and I but coffee grounds in an open baggie, and like 5 or 6 dryer sheets and put it inside the purse then stick the purse inside a trash bag for a day. And it worked perfect. And that purse was really bad, I'm surprised at how well it worked. Maybe try that on the purse.
I imagine that the reason for finding food and other miscellaneous items is one of two things: 1) A renter was evicted, and the landlord packed up the apartment's contents, in case the tenant showed up wanting their stuff, or 2) An older person passed away, and no one showed up to claim the contents, leaving the landlord to pack it all up, just in case a relative showed up later. I'm sure that some people would get rather cranky if you threw away yjeir mustard, etc. I don't think a landlord can just throw stuff out, even in cases of eviction. I like the storage unit videos, btw!
Well, CZcams won't let me post links, but yeah, landlords are required to do this. It not be that way everywhere, but a Google search will verify.@@HairyTornado
Love the video. I worked for Goodwill and we just sprayed the clothes with Febreze. I sold a stool similar to that one for $100. It was Ethan Allen. The freezer will kill the smoke smell also.
The best way to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke odor is to wash the items in a vinegar solution. One cup of white vinegar in a load of laundry is usually sufficient to completely remove all traces of smoke. I have had a few items that needed to be washed twice, but it’s rare. Sadly, those were items that some of my family members gave me for Christmas. I have also used vinegar in my steam cleaner to remove the odor from upholstered furniture. The great thing is, vinegar doesn’t just mask the odor, it removes it, and once rinsed, the vinegar smell is also gone.
I don't think storage units are a good fit for you all. I know you apologized for putting most everything in the land fill, but... it's in the land fill now.....I think sourcing at the bins, thrift shops and garage sales is a better fit for the time and effort you two can afford and devote. You can hand pick and do your sniff tests! Thanks for the content, I usually enjoy your videos and I've learned so much from you.
It saddens me to see somebody lose their storage unit. Sometimes people have to go in the hospital and other people are packing for them. I just throw stuff together whether it be food or not I just cleaning out the place for them. But somebody’s life got turned upside down.
Sometimes the items that you think aren't worth anything are the ones worth the most. Like the dolls being better than the Cabbage Patch. Also, the cassettes might surprise you. I'd imagine you might get quite a bit more for them... Not saying you should check every little thing, but sometimes it's worth doing a quick check on. Also check the jewelry a bit more. Some of my best finds have been the ones that I just decided to check even though I thought they were odd and probably not worth anything.
I volunteered at a goodwill. They put everything in a giant dryer after spraying it with a spray. If not goodwill donate to a homeless shelter or women's shelter. When you have nothing even clothes with smoke smell are greatly appreciated
People often are forced to move quickly and then a storage unit is rented much like this one. Of all of the storage units that I have purchased, this one seems to be like some of them. It seems like someone put a lot of an apartment into that unit. For whatever reason, they then are unable to pay the bill and lose the unit to an online auction. Great video and an interesting storage unit. The smell that comes with some units is so bad, I can just imagine what you were dealing with in this one. This shows people that the chance is real to purchase a bad or mediocre unit. Have a blessed week and keep the great videos coming.
The knee scooter gave me flashbacks to two ankle surgeries. My first scooter I gave away to my boss for his toe surgery, then I had to have surgery on my other ankle. Sigh, but Bonnie Blue (scooter #2) is permanently residing in my crochet room. But you can probably sell the one you found, just brakes and screws need tightening.
Some of the clothing brands are Y2k. The item with a cat is Baby Phat clothing. Any wide leg embroidered jeans are good money too. You might want to look some of it up.
I just got 3 different magnalight pieces this weekend, got a turkey roaster, a pot and baking sheet, i had no idea what they were before i looked em up awesome finds for sure! hopefully y'all can at least make out ok with the unit. At least enough for a good date night.
Hello Just letting you know, the two dolls with the one cabbage patch doll are called my child and can be worth 80.00 to 500.00 dollars depending on doll ..and an be washed in the washer…but no to be placed in dryer..
ozone machine, dryer sheets and baking soda in sealed totes in the sun If it's washable, vinegar baking soda oxyclean gain scent pebble things pick your combo. Even with all that I had a blanket at one point I couldn't wash the dog out of.
I love how this shoes that not ALL storage units are filled with treasures. Sometimes its just closed and one or two big items here and there. Great video guys
Hey, that's the storage facility my family used when we were moving. I remember those carts, we couldn't do anything but laugh about the nerve rending sound. Was a fun time.
Just a heads-up... If I'm not mistaken & based on my experience all storage facilities have those same carts for customers to use when moving in or moving out of the units 😁🩷
Very interesting video. It always makes me feel sad for the folks that didn’t pay their rent on the unit. I too hate that smoke smell, it is nauseating and smokers don’t think twice about it (usually). Thanks for the entertainment and letting sweet Mose make an appearance!❤
My husband made a burger for my daughter’s boyfriend on our blackstone and he said it was the best burger he ever had. We’ve done chicken and rice too and it was amazing.
Hope you do others the value of the dig could turn at a moments notice! I could watch these all day from the comfort of my couch 🫣😳😂 Fun for us mucho work for you! All The Best! Be Well Be Safe & Stay Blessed.
When you say why don’t people pay their bill if they’ve got personal papers and stuff in it. Maybe they died. And there’s no one else left in the family
Enjoyed this. Also great to see you both working together to clear the storage unit. That’s why I love your channel, you always work together and give each other equal time. No egos here! ❤❤❤
Storage units have become my new favorite way of sourcing. I did amazing on my first 10k profit in February. Pretty good on the second 3-4k profit in April. Still listing my third from last month, but thinking it'll be about 1-2k. Constantly looking for more units though! It's addicting. Haha
A good way to take out smoke smell from items is to put the item that has the smoke smell into a ziplock bag and a couple dryer sheets for a couple days. It has worked on clothes, Toys and Retro games for me!!
Hi J & H, I think you may be offending people who smoke with all the negative about the smell. If washed properly, the smell will come out. Since you cannot stand the smell of smoke, give the clothes away to people who smoke or to the homeless. I am sure that they would not mind the smell and will find a way to wash them.
Seriously I am a smoker by choice. I pay for my bad habit and really eating too much is also unhealthy so at the end of the day you bought someone's private stuff. It was not left there for the default buyer. Vinegar is excellent for removing the smell of smoke, I just had to add my piece. Just tired of the comments on smoking.
My entire home was in storage for six years while my husband and i lived in a shared house. Six room HMO, horrible time in our lives, great to be on our own again with our stuff you never know what can happen.
It’s awesome to see you guys doing new stuff, but I hope you don’t let the comments get to you about people saying you guys are out of ideas and stuff. Idk why those people are miserable.
I volunteer at Salvation Army sometimes. There isn't a washer and dryer there so if it smells, it's thrown away. There's no sink to wash knick knacks or dishes and stuff. You wouldn't believe the people that bring dirty clothes to donate. You feel like yelling...HELLO...No Washer and Dryer! LOL!
You can never eliminate the smoke smell, even in hard goods. I found a table being thrown out once, cleaned it many times, and finally sold it to an antique store because I couldn't stand the smell! Edited to add: In my opinion, it seems like the smoke smell never goes away!
We bought a used 2022 van. When we bought it we noticed a strong floral smell. The salesman said it was the detailing cleaning fluid. It wasn't, it was a scent bomb used to cover smoke odor. Positively awful. My husband changed the filters, vacuumed every cloth surface numerous times. We tried baking soda, left the doors opened in the sun for days. Still disgusting. When we get the oil changed, we are going to get an ozone treatment. Fingers crossed. (I have to admit my son and I have very sensitive noses. My husband can't smell anything.) Good luck guys!

Mystery box is gambling.
Take blankets and towels to a shelter or dog shelter
If the blankets are also nicotine / smoke infused, better do not donate it to an animal shelter.
Interesting unit. You should check things out before just tossing them. Some things are worth more than you may think.
Very true, some clothing will surprise you how much it can sell for and you can lot it up. FYI: take all your metal to the scrap yard and get paid for it. Never toss the metal kitchen stuff out.

I got a MY Child doll at a thrift store for 50 cents and flipped it for $35, shipped internationally, last year.

Love her music
Congrats on getting a Magnalite roaster! Thanks for letting us explore with you!
My mom taught me how to get cigarette smell out. Put whatever stinks in the sun for a few hours. It worked on linens for me.

Good finds. You did better than I usually do.
Hope you kept the knee scooter. They aren't cheap and I have lent mine out several times and people have been so grateful.
Love it when you go through storage units!
We need more clips of Josh on the scooter 🤣

Barry on Storage Wars always gets the units like yours.
Such a fun video today! Yes, please do more storage units!
OMG! I ❤ all of those tapes!
Other people that buy storage units sometimes leave personal items at the front desk and let them return them to their owners.
"I guess we could sell the seashells..." (my brain went) by the seashore!
I appreciate these types of vids showing the reality of the business.
More storage unit videos!! Thanks for the video..

Hello Just letting you know, the two dolls with the one cabbage patch doll are called my child and can be worth 80.00 to 500.00 dollars depending on doll ..and an be washed in the washer…but no to be placed in dryer..
You can wash the clothes and blankets with vinegar, just fill up the Clorox dish with vinegar and smell is gone, works with mold smells also.
always so sad to see a storage unit that you know the person was moved into assisted living
Haley, you just have the best energy. So genuine and positive. Wish we could hang out :)
ozone machine, dryer sheets and baking soda in sealed totes in the sun
If it's washable, vinegar baking soda oxyclean gain scent pebble things pick your combo. Even with all that I had a blanket at one point I couldn't wash the dog out of.
Josh, get some charcoal wrap it in some cheese cloth and put it in the bag. Leave it outside for a few days to get the cigarette smell out of it.
A small ozone machine is great for resellers to refresh/eliminate odors, especially for non washable items, like that tapestry/ leather bag.
Good Finds there! Keep it up :)
I love how this shoes that not ALL storage units are filled with treasures. Sometimes its just closed and one or two big items here and there. Great video guys

Good changing up things . Thanks.
I bought a used knee scooter for $40 or $45 locally before I had a foot surgery. Cost more to rent them so there definitely is a market for those.
I think ours was a little busted 😂
The Blackstone is mine lol. I use my instapot at least 2 nights a week and my Blackstone 2-3 nights.
What do you make in it?
My husband made a burger for my daughter’s boyfriend on our blackstone and he said it was the best burger he ever had. We’ve done chicken and rice too and it was amazing.

Someone’s life in a 5x10 storage unit. Kinda eerie kinda interesting.
When you say why don’t people pay their bill if they’ve got personal papers and stuff in it. Maybe they died. And there’s no one else left in the family
The two "non cabbage patch dolls" are better than the cabbage patch
Jebus would have paid at least $1k for that unit. 😂
$2k 😅
No signs of guns or games so no way 😂😂😂
@@flipmanthefantastic considering he is based in California he would have had to
Enjoyed this. Also great to see you both working together to clear the storage unit. That’s why I love your channel, you always work together and give each other equal time. No egos here! ❤❤❤
White vinegar with your detergent will get the smell out. And it keeps it out of the landfill.
WOW ON the magnetite. I’m SO HAPPY for you guys.
That black bag with bright color people figures on it might be worth $$. It's based on a famous painting by Keith Haring.
i hear the regret in Joshs voice lol..... we buy units all the time. its a hit or miss..
At least you can set up the flip house with all the kitchen items you got from the unit.
Nice Magnalite find. I still have never found one in the wild.
Yeaayy storage unit. Love it 🥰
Storage units have become my new favorite way of sourcing. I did amazing on my first 10k profit in February. Pretty good on the second 3-4k profit in April. Still listing my third from last month, but thinking it'll be about 1-2k. Constantly looking for more units though! It's addicting. Haha
The minute I saw that bag Halloween Town came to mind and I loved that you thought so too! #90skids
You scored big compared to the one I just watched with Bearded Thrift Machine. They can't all be big winners.
Great video! The mystery of storage unit is fun!
That bag is giving Mrs. Doubtfire!
A good way to take out smoke smell from items is to put the item that has the smoke smell into a ziplock bag and a couple dryer sheets for a couple days. It has worked on clothes, Toys and Retro games for me!!
Funny the random things found in storage units. Great video 👍
I’m ready to watch another storage unit purchase from u guys. This was a fun one to watch ☺️

😂😂😂 I am busting up at you riding the knee scooter.
Very nice thanks for sharing
Low end clothes, low end clothes… where do you shop Josh? Wow! Those thrift shops will be so happy to get these donations.
Febreeze the tapestry part of the bag between air outs and it will help lift out the smell. I live with a smoker and these tricks help me out a lot.
Gold dust with the Barry Manilow cassette. (big fan lol)
You can put the bag in a garbage bag with coffee. That worked for me on a few items that smelled musty.
I volunteer at Salvation Army sometimes. There isn't a washer and dryer there so if it smells, it's thrown away. There's no sink to wash knick knacks or dishes and stuff. You wouldn't believe the people that bring dirty clothes to donate. You feel like yelling...HELLO...No Washer and Dryer! LOL!
Please tell that to some of these other commenters lol.
You can never eliminate the smoke smell, even in hard goods. I found a table being thrown out once, cleaned it many times, and finally sold it to an antique store because I couldn't stand the smell!
Edited to add: In my opinion, it seems like the smoke smell never goes away!
Washing with white vinegar removes it from clothing. I don't know about hard goods.
Yes you can. Baking soda/vinegar.
Highly recommend wearing protective gloves. Been there done that with a needle buried in a tote.
We bought a used 2022 van. When we bought it we noticed a strong floral smell. The salesman said it was the detailing cleaning fluid. It wasn't, it was a scent bomb used to cover smoke odor. Positively awful. My husband changed the filters, vacuumed every cloth surface numerous times. We tried baking soda, left the doors opened in the sun for days. Still disgusting. When we get the oil changed, we are going to get an ozone treatment. Fingers crossed. (I have to admit my son and I have very sensitive noses. My husband can't smell anything.) Good luck guys!
Josh, you pulled a Lloyd with your knife. 😂
Thrift stores use a special spray for smelly stuff. Also consider donating towels and blankets to a local animal shelter
