Ideas for anything you don't donate to like a 2nd hand place, maybe consider donating to a women's shelter, homeless shelter, your local children's services place or a place that helps veterans. I feel like the painting was more like Eliza from My Fair Lady. Although Audrey Hepburn was in Breakfast At Tiffany's which I am assuming is where she came up with the name Tiffany from.
Let’s play “What’s the backstory?” for this storage unit? Young couple with kid moves back home with parents. Not enough room for some stuff. Hoped the Nike collection would fund kid’s college but then the price of diapers went up. Stashed vodka in nursery to cope with disappointment.
@@GTTorino69 i just love the " Saint " people. If it wasn't them, someone else would bought it. What's the difference? I feel sorry for every single of those units, but it's a life.
I love how your wife keeps on encouraging your small finds throughout this unit. You are a great team! I learn a lot from your experiences with buying units, so no failure there. Thanks for bringing us along.😀
I really appreciate you guys keeping it real and showing a unit that is not so great! It's rare to find honest youtubers that aren't staging and doing fake things!
I liked this better than the thrift stores. The shoes were good finds and the bed looked pretty nice as well. The infant car seat looked pretty nice. I think there was quite a bit to put on face book marketplace.
I've noticed a lot lately that storage unit buyers are so quick to jump to , 'that ain't worth nothing ' .. I love watching these kinda videos n so do my grandchildren. They look all excited on the finds n then you say it's just worth nothing. My granddaughter asked if I could get the toys before you threw them out. I told her that I'm sure they will be given to a boy or girl that needs toys n not thrown in the trash.. sorry for rant .. have a blessed new year.. 🎉
People will use the mattresses, box springs, and rails if they are clean. We actually kept one that was left in unit we rented after being flooded. It was a $500 name brand like new. Sorry that unit was such a disappointment. Hopefully you can get your investment back with shoes, puffer jacket,notebook, printer, cords & stuff. Maybe there's a surprise in that little jewelry box, and the box will sell. Blessings, Cats Meow
It’s called Hope - circumstances change and you have to move quickly and so you put stuff in storage hoping to get back on track quickly and you go from month to month not wanting to admit defeat and eventually you have to give in and give up
just a suggestion if you don't already do this, next time you come across blanket and possibly towels you should find a animal shelter that can use them for the animals that come into them. Also stuffed animal toys. Our community does donates and collects them in our area. Just a thought if you don't do it already. Love your content!
My husband and i buy units, we have got all kinds. I remember one time getting a unit that was stacked with brand new home depot boxes, i thought the same, expensive boxes should be good stuff, right. Nope all trash 😒 it was either staged or an eviction and someone supplied the boxes, you just never know. Good luck for the next one 🎉
Love your channel! Just an idea on your options for the kid stuff. My husband and I resell on the side. We have 2 kids and constantly have kid stuff to get rid of. We dump our kid stuff into consignment events (not a store). We also use it to dump items that aren't moving in our store and attempt to make our money back. It's like having a garage sale, but not actually having to sit for hours and they attract way more customers. It's tedious work, but it's a way for our kids to make money off their toys and an outlet to dump some dead items. Every sale has different rules. At times we can dump new items and it doesn't have to be kid related.
Off the cuff I saw about $700 worth of stuff from what was shown. Thing is, you gotta be willing to sell electronics. Those monitors, laptops, games accessories alone could net you about $300. If you sell that big TV for $200, it'll sell quick locally. Just gotta have patience with low ballers locally. The printers if they work, can also go for about $20-$40 or part out the paper feeder to sell on ebay. If you're willing to get the most out of that unit, you could possibly double the investment.
You both find so many wonderful things to sell. It’s amazing to watch you both! The best thing is you always make (me for sure) laugh at things you say or do. Always having fun ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
You can put together a kids lot of clothes if you have same size for like 10 pieces for $30. That crib with mattress on Facebook market would sell in a day for $100 if hardware is there.
Ohhh myyy goshhh!! Yayyy! DIVING for more TREASURES! Wahoo! Way to go BEARDED THRIFT MACHINE!!! 😃📣🎈🎉☃️ I’m from PA, but I’m looking forward to visiting your booth and pinning the board! 😃😂🎉🎈✨💜
This was fun to watch! Strangely, I felt like I was on a treasure hunt myself! You have probably already thought of this, but just in case……A quick way to recoup a little of your investment with little effort would be to take the kids stuff to Once Upon a Child. Love your content! Thanks!!
I think that could have been an eviction cleanout because of the random way stuff was thrown in boxes.. They put it in a storage unit that the evicted has to go pay for, but they decided not worth it. Like the renters took what they wanted and left and the landlord couldn't legally throw away their stuff so they boxed it all up and put it in a storage unit that no one ever claims.
I love watching your storage unit videos but they make me nervous because I'm hoping you make money. Hopefully, you make plenty of money from CZcams. Thanks for sharing.
My wife and I just finished a unit that was full of junk that couldn’t be seen from photos. I mean there was nothing at all of value and just loads of stuff everywhere. Except we found the wife’s stash of purses. So we’ve made (once they sell) about $600 on $70 unit. I’m not sure the work was worth it though.
One I spent $30 on and got 5 Jim shore pieces out of. One $90 and make like 10 trips (not exaggerating) to good will but came out with about $600 mostly baby ralph lauren, swear someone was living in it for covid. I pulled silver out of my little $130 unit. My $10 unit had a transmitter worth $150, and the first unit I bought was $170 with a stash of first run Power Ranger posters. @@throwitatthewall6289
Grandma here where are your gloves young man!!! Yes you can resell computers... Don't toss things around... You don't want to break things.... Have fun be safe...
I bet you could get at least $200 for that sleigh bed on market place and was there a stroller in there? I think that car seat sits inside of a stroller since there wasn't a base for it. Baby stuff sells good on market place.

There was a lot there you kept stating you would donate...find stores that buy the items from you. There are resale furniture stores. Resale kids stores, resale adult clothing stores. If you've got 2 load it 2 take it somewhere take it somewhere that will buy it from you. Could have made ur $400 back just in resale shop
After watching many episodes of Storage Wars the neatly packed unit usually spells valuable items. Your thinking was right but just very tidy people without any valuable stuff. Oh well.
Yes, it is sad. But if the unit wasn't purchased, all the items would've been discarded as waste. Sometimes, the only silver lining is having someone like @beardedthriftmachine give back. Same as driving thru the neighborhood and seeing the contents of a family home piled up on the curb due to eviction. Life is tough but compassionate people make it better.
I dont know if you know this or not but there is a key combination you can press at start up for computers that will allow you to restore them to factory settings
@@carmenwagner634 you can look up the type of conputer it is and put in how to restore and it should give you them… alot of them are cntrl+f5 i believe
Julian, I watch your videos regularly and have noticed a trend when you are opening boxes. Since you resell a lot of items out of these boxes, it would be better if you didn't toss or throw the items around. People are not going to buy if you do not show some respect for items you are going to list. It is just an observation I have made and thought you should know. I think in your excitement to get into the boxes, you don't realize you are treating the merchandise harshly. Also, Kayla needs to film closer so we can actually see in the boxes. ❤
The military pays the soldiers to move themselves instead of hiring a moving company. The government saves money and the soldier makes some to move themselves. It is their choice to spend that money on boxes or find used boxes and save the money. They are not authorized storage at destination so they most likely did not have a place to live then could not afford the storage charges.
Makes me sad what you think is no good is someone’s life ! When you bid on these units do you get a peek first? Just a shame the winners here are the storage units! I’ve noticed in last 10 -15 yrs storage units are popping up all over the North Charleston and areas around! Many new houses are staged lovely but I wonder where they keep the vacuum and Christmas tree etc., even we keep expensive cars in drive and all our junk in 2 car garage ! And we have a shed for garden lawnmower etc.,
Thanks so much for watching!!!!
Absolutely! Always! ( :
Wouldn't miss one, you two keep up the great work!

I think you've nailed the circumstances 😂😂😂
Lol
This was obvious just from opening the door, I would have never touched this unit. It screams “broke young couple with a kid”
😂 💯
@@GTTorino69 i just love the " Saint " people. If it wasn't them, someone else would bought it. What's the difference? I feel sorry for every single of those units, but it's a life.
Tiffany is Audrey Hepburn from the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Tiffany being the jewelry store in NYC.
I love how your wife keeps on encouraging your small finds throughout this unit. You are a great team! I learn a lot from your experiences with buying units, so no failure there. Thanks for bringing us along.😀
:) she does very well - and keeps me going
If you want to check them out, a local battered women’s shelter or organization that re-houses families would ❤ those baby items.
💯 correct
Her name is not Tiffany, her name is Holly Golightly. She was played by Audrey Hepburn in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.
I really appreciate you guys keeping it real and showing a unit that is not so great! It's rare to find honest youtubers that aren't staging and doing fake things!
Bedding towels pillows can be donated to your local pet shelter FYI
I liked this better than the thrift stores. The shoes were good finds and the bed looked pretty nice as well. The infant car seat looked pretty nice. I think there was quite a bit to put on face book marketplace.
"We have febreeze", lol at least your prepared!!!
My experience with buying storage units is typically the more dust and cobwebs the better.
Kayla's "oh yeah" cracks me up every time 😂

Dying to know if anyone tried to come down the hallway to get to another storage unit while you were unboxing. that was quite the pile you guys had :)
Luckily no but we were there super early in the morning
I was wondering too!

Did you say hobo freight.. that made me giggle 😂
Gotta check those toy boxes!! I found a Gold wedding ring once in the kids toy box like that.
I always wonder why people pay so much to store stuff that isn’t worth the storage fees? Hopefully there is more as you go along. 3:19
It’s called Hope - circumstances change and you have to move quickly and so you put stuff in storage hoping to get back on track quickly and you go from month to month not wanting to admit defeat and eventually you have to give in and give up
Looks like a lot of booth items for your peddler mall spot.
I love that you both have such a positive attitude about everything. Better luck on your next one.
If the kids clothes are in good condition, take them to Once Upon A Child. They pay cash so you might recoup some money before you donate it
The toys too!

They bought the boxes and did the packing themselves. Professionals called have everything breakable and other stuffed wrapped in clean newsprint.
My husband and i buy units, we have got all kinds. I remember one time getting a unit that was stacked with brand new home depot boxes, i thought the same, expensive boxes should be good stuff, right.

I thought the same here
0:12 You are the Sherlock Holmes of storage units!🕵🏻
However, professional packing and shipping companies would not generally use U-Haul boxes.
Yea but this boxes aren’t cheap….
True. I think of them as over-priced, last resort boxes that you get when you don’t have time to go to Walmart.
@@edgecitytraders5498 I agree - we kept some of the big boxes we found -
That shredder it looks like it came from Target and i paid 50+ for mine. You dropped the top part but i think it will still work. Donna xoxo
Love the Storage Locker videos! Wife & I bought them back in 2022. So much fun, and you never know what you’ll find!

This one was not so good - but it’s all in learning - I lost a lot when i started reselling and learning in this this is going to be the same :)
You can get replacement legs for the TV. They probably took them off to hang it on the wall.
You were close. I think you were thinking of Audrey Hepburn from the movie “Breakfast at Tiffany’s “😊
So sorry for your luck on this storage unit
The picture is Audrey Hepburn from the movie Breakfast At Tiffany’s
That is what she was thinking - I’ve never seen it
Hart is our favorite yard tools. From Walmart
It runs good and actually that charger was worth the most
On the day that my Chromebook starts tracking, I see its origin story. The Lord moves in very mysterious ways.
Never been this early.🤭🤭Excited to see what’s inside!!!🎉
:) thank you !!!
You could always take the kids clothes to a kids consignment store and possibly make some money from them and some of the other baby items
💯 correct
Interesting unit, looks can be deceiving, but keep on keepin' on.
I have had good luck with dirty old units lol. More to clean but far more money to be made
True

I hate these units where you’re on the last boxes and praying to get your money back. I usually get them for super cheap though in my area.
Kids stuff might do well at a yard sale
I know its winter right now, but you ever try selling the worthless stuff in a yardsale setting?
We sometimes sell stuff locally- but we don’t have the space to store everything and do a yard sale
@@beardedthriftmachineHow much did y'all pay for this unit? And I understand!
did you mean audrey hepburn ‘breakfast at tiffanys’
Sometimes landlords clean out apartments and are obligated by law to put things in storage.... This is my best guess on this storage unit
Ahh I was wondering..
Better luck next time, looked good, but didn't produce the goods. Got a few sellable things. God bless stay safe until the next video 💓 😍
I could feel your frustration-- sorry it wasn't a good one. :(. You will win on the next one!
I bet you could get at least $200 for that sleigh bed on market place and was there a stroller in there? I think that car seat sits inside of a stroller since there wasn't a base for it. Baby stuff sells good on market place.
Was at a storage auction when they sold everything separately, there was a carpet rolled up, there was a butter dish with butter in it!!
LOL!!

I know right - I’ll get better at picking them then I can look back and wonder why I bought these
I would have bought it too. It was packaged very niiiiice 😀😉😂
@@amandac298 too nice lol
Save the boxes to ship or organize
Some we did but a lot not so good
OMG don't be so rough!!!
It just looks rough - I’m very gentle
There was a lot there you kept stating you would donate...find stores that buy the items from you. There are resale furniture stores. Resale kids stores, resale adult clothing stores. If you've got 2 load it 2 take it somewhere take it somewhere that will buy it from you. Could have made ur $400 back just in resale shop
You need a running total on the screen like in Storage Wars.
You never know on storage buildings
I agree
CONGRATULATIONS!
Those boxes are way more than $5. The picture boxes or electronics (tv) boxes sell for $15 - $25.

Best items in the storage I would say were the shoes. lol.
Could sell almost all of the kids stuff through a Just Between Friends consignment sale!
See y’all ON THE NEXT ONE!
Thank you for always watching !!
Audrey Hepburn, the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's
The way you were chucking some of that stuff round it definitely wont be worth anything 😂
I always thought the rule was never buy a u it if you see kids stuff
I don’t know any of those rules lol 😂 I’m learning though
Have a yard sale when it starts warming up! Get rid of the baby clothes! Just wash them!
some of those u-haul boxes were opened before you got there
Learned a lesson looks can be deceiving
💯
Why do you put all the boxes on the floor and open them?
Maybe stack 2 or 3 and open them standing up ??
i like to hurt my back - if im not in pain then im not working
So sad the kids looks like they have lost everything 😭
Or got new stuff or this was a staged unit and a scam…..
@@beardedthriftmachine u think?! 😮
It's possible that the child outgrew this stuff and they were saving it for a future addition to their family.
@@beachseeker634 possibility
I hate units like these. This obviously belongs to a family that fell on hard times, and now they've lost even more.😢
We gave a lot back - id have given them the whole unit
You guys are Awesome!!
finders keepers.
Yes, it is sad. But if the unit wasn't purchased, all the items would've been discarded as waste. Sometimes, the only silver lining is having someone like @beardedthriftmachine give back.

Oh well they all can't be good. At least you got a few things you can sell. The next one will be awesome!!
I'm pretty sure those are sc public school issued laptops ❤
We will call and see
Keep on doing what you’re doing 😅❤
Donate the toys to a family centre or church
Yes must to all were donate
Hart told are sold at Walmart, maybe other places.

If it's in U-Haul boxes, it's not professionally packed. People buy the boxes and pack their own. Sorry this one didn't work out.
Is any of the stuff worth selling in lots on what not?
A lot of this was furniture
